The Composite High-Rise Building—An Interaction of Planning, Structure, Speed, and Economy
- John G. Nutt
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Important high-rise buildings are designed by a team of specialized professionals. The selection of a structural system requires knowledge of the appropriate factors of materials and construction together with an awareness of the requirements of architecture and services. As an example, this paper deals with composite construction — the mixed use of large scale steel and concrete units, and the combined use of both in individual elements. It shows how the designer addresses material properties and costs to advantage. Specific reference is made to buildings in the 50-story range. Future trends in the design and construction process are discussed.

As the credit crunch bites, growing numbers of Britons are planning to save money by spending their summer holiday in the UK, but they may be in for nasty shock. Figures released last week reveal a big increase in European visitors to Britain, prompting fears of accommodation shortages and soaring prices.
Lastminute.com, which operates across Europe, reported a 20 per cent increase in foreign visitors booking UK holidays during July, August and September. The number of Germans booking trips to Edinburgh has almost doubled compared with last year, according to the company.
'The UK is traditionally an expensive destination for European tourists, but its competitiveness has improved dramatically because of the fall of the pound against the euro,' said John Bevan, Lastminute.com's managing director. 'This summer the UK appears to be the place to be for all of Europe's nationalities.'
Budget airline Jet2, which flies into six UK airports, also reported an increase of 8 per cent in inbound bookings.
The result is that anyone who hasn't yet booked their UK holiday may struggle to find accommodation. Hoseasons says it expects all its self-catering properties to be fully booked throughout the latter half of July and August. Bargains are likely to be thin on the ground too. Research by YouGov has already found that almost half of UK consumers find Britain too expensive compared with foreign destinations.
Ironically, despite the weak pound, fluctuations in demand mean that there are actually some good bargains to be had in Europe this summer. 'Demand for our UK programme is up from both domestic clients and those in mainland Europe,' says Ted Wake, sales and marketing director at Kirker Holidays, 'but top-end hotels in Europe are suffering a lack of bookings. The Americans, who normally come to Europe during the summer, are staying away because of the weak dollar, which means there are deals now available that would normally be unheard of in the summer months.'
Many hotels are offering free nights: a four-night package to the elegant Villa San Michele in Florence now costs £1,589, a saving of £395, while a three-night break at the Hotel Eden in Rome now costs £689, a saving of £260. Both are five-star hotels, and prices include flights, transfers, and B&B accommodation through Kirker (020 7593 1899; kirkerholidays.com).

Silently Screaming
Can you hear me screamin?
Can you hear me breathin?
My scream is oh so silent,
But the meaning is powerful.
You won't listen to my roar.
No matter if I'm silently screamin.
Can you hear me screamin?
Can you hear me singin?
I'm tryin to co-mmun-i-cate,
I don't want you to hate.
You aren't going to disrespect me.
I'm laying down,
Layin down my law.
You can either follow,
Or you can swallow.
That I'm done,
I'm done silently screamin.

What comes standard:
Can't get anymore bare bones than this, yet still be a step above the competition. This is the perfect package for the customer who wants to stop a non powered tool (ex: pike axes, crow bars, sledge hammers) from breaching the vault.
What comes standard:
These are the most popular options customers order. It's the perfect package for the customer who wants to stop a high powered tool (ex: grinders, sawsalls) from breaching the vault longer than the 5/16" door would perform. Comes with a 8x12" Stainless Upgrade that is 3/16" thick, which protects the heart of the lock system from any high power tool attack by covering: the combo box area, hardplate, relock and striker (which is the primary piece of linkage being locked out). Since this plate is on the exterior of the door, it adds to the commercial look of the vault, which customers really enjoy, and burglars question.
What comes standard:
More steel, the better. Perfect for the customer who wants to add 2x the break in time with high power tools, in the areas it matters most. Comes with the 8x12" Stainless Upgrade as mentioned above. The entire 5/16" plate door will be covered in a 3/16" plate, bringing the total door thickness to 1/2".
What comes standard:
Torch attacks happen, and when they do you will be ready with this 3/16" thick, stainless steel plate option. Adds about 4x the break in time with any high power tool. Comes with the 8x12" Stainless Upgrade. One layer of 3/16" Stainless performs like 9/16" non stainless. It's the ultimate in security for torch resistance (or any other cutting tool), without all the weight of resorting to a cement filled vault.
Intimidator Fire Insulator
The Whole Door Is Stuffed The Exact Same Way, With 2.5" Of 2300° Ceramic & 1" of Glass Blanket. Then, It's Compressed By A 16 Gauge Inside Steel Liner. A fire gasket cannot be added. Click here for information on our fire rating and other detailed information.
This will allow you to lock yourself inside the vault with the push of a palm button, such as you would need for a panic room. Pulling the button unlocks. With the push button engaged, it is impossible to spin the dial from the outside, thus preventing anyone from locking you inside. If you did not engage the push button and someone was to lock you in by spinning the dial on the outside (which is a very purposeful act) it would require 3 minutes of work and a couple of basic tools to get out.
Twin Lock System- One Spin, One Electronic
Two, separate and complete locking systems that force locksmiths to breach two dials instead of just one. Both dials need to be in working condition in order to get in. One dial does not override the other. The first dial is the original spin dial (S&G group 2 model 6730 in black) that comes with the safe, and the other dial is the Electronic Lock (S&G D-Drive) This option has additional benefits such as, ease of access (by leaving the spin dial in the unlocked position, and just using the electronic to get it). The electronic will have a 2 year warranty. Going beyond the 2 year mark: we void the warranty wherever we state we will cover the locksmith entry, and replacement dial. However, we will still honor the rest of the warranty.
Twin Lock System- Two Spin DialsTwo, separate and complete locking systems, that force a locksmith entry to breach two dials instead of just one. Both spin dials need to be in working condition in order to get in, and are S&G group 2 model 6730 (in the easy read black). One dial does not override the other.
D-Drive Electronic Lock
These light up group 1 electronic dials by S&G have less moving parts, and boast a longer longevity. Less parts = less to potentially break. Even though they will last longer, we still recommend electronic locks to be used for people who have a hard time seeing the numbers on standard dials, because, like most electronic devices, they are not made to last forever. These are warranted for two years including locksmith entries.
Gold HardwareAdd instant class to your color changed safe by switching the handle, dial and decals to gold. Perfect for those searching for beauty and brawn.
Key In DialThis is not to be used as a quick access into the safe! It's strictly to lock the dial on whoever else you gave the combination to, so they cannot get in. These cannot be put on electronic locks.
Locksmith Resistant Hard Plate UpgradeA hard plate comes standard with every Sturdy Safe, however, this option is designed to keep locksmiths out. It's a diamond/ carbide bit resistant, machine tool pin hardplate, as hard as ball bearings, that protects the primary linkage being locked out, all the way to it's source. Odds are very high a locksmith would need to destroy the safe in order to gain access in. For this option, you would need to believe a burglar is smart enough to know locksmith entries, which has never happened in our whole history. THIS VOIDS A SMALL PART OF THE LIFETIME WARRANTY by making the home owner pay for the locksmith entry if ever one is needed.
Extra Lifetime WarrantyTo better understand what this warranty will cover, you should know what the standard warranty covers first: We will fix or replace the safe for free if you were burglarized, in a fire (for a fire lined safe), or if the safe is malfunctioning in anyway, shape or form. When it comes to the malfunctioning or fire, we will cover shipping (back and forth) as well as locksmith entries if needed. When it comes to the burglary, you would need to pay for shipping and locksmith entry (unless you get this extra warranty).

Dark Gray and Black Speckle
This is the new color that comes standard unless requested otherwise. It blends in best for majority of rooms and garages. These speckled semi gloss enamel color changes look amazing. Because of the speckle, it's easy to touch them up without noticing, and it doesn't shows smudges, so cleaning the safe will not be needed as much as solid color changes.
Tang Blue and Black Speckle
This is a very vibrant blue that is sure to turn heads. These speckled semi gloss enamel color changes look amazing. Because of the speckle, it's easy to touch them up without noticing, and it doesn't shows smudges, so cleaning the safe will not be needed as much as solid color changes.
Hunter Green and Black Speckle
This is a very dark green that blends in most hunters dens pretty easy. These speckled semi gloss enamel color changes look amazing. Because of the speckle, it's easy to touch them up without noticing, and it doesn't shows smudges, so cleaning the safe will not be needed as much as solid color changes.
Matte Black and Gloss Black Speckle
Solid black is boring, so we brought on the speckling with a matte and gloss black combo. These speckled semi gloss enamel color changes look amazing. Because of the speckle, it's easy to touch them up without noticing, and it doesn't shows smudges, so cleaning the safe will not be needed as much as solid color changes.
Make your opening a minimum of 5/8" to 3/4" (total) extra room from side to side and 1/2" extra room from top to bottom. Make it a 1/4" larger than that if you do not have much faith in your cement guy. Purchase 10 anchors that are 1/2" to 5/8" in diameter and 3-4" in length. When mounted, and the door open, figure a minimum of 9/16" worth of clearance from the bottom of the door, to the floor, so keep in mind the thickness of your carpet, tile, etc, to determine if you need to create more of a threshold. You are basically hanging it like any pre-hung door, with the exception that it's too heavy to shift around as easy. It allows total adjustment of the frame to match the hang attitude of the door. There are no flanges, so you can recess the door as far in the opening as your opening depth will allow. Here is a forum where a customer shows how he built his vault room, and talks about how he installed his Sturdy Vault.
Read the entire instructions before beginning! Be cautious, and use good judgment. These instruction are just an outline, and installation of the vaults are recommended to be done by a professional. We will not be liable for death, injury, or damage to property. Put the vault into position as shown here. Be sure to have it layed down on some type of support so the dial and handle does not get damaged.
|Once erect, at least one man will need to be on the inside. Position it in the doorway, the way you want it. Do not worry about the attitude of the door at this time. Put some marks around the frame on the cement door entry way. Then, you will need a few guys to help open and stabilize the door. The door might drag around the framing when opening at this point, but no worries. Most doors will need a pry bar or 2x4 to pry up (and out) to a 90 degree angle. To not loose fingers, be cautious of pinch points. As the door swings open, lift and pull the door at the same time, stabilizing the frame.
|Once open, the door will need support on the outside corner, to help hold it up and to move frame back into the marked position (remember the marks you put on the cement door way).
|This is a bad example picture, but place an anchor stud ONLY in the frames anchor holes near the top and bottom hinge. Now that the frame is secure on one side, there should be a gap on the other side. If the door doesn't match up, hammer the frame in or out, and then wedge it (with wedging blocks) into marked position. Open and close the door, and check the attitude of the door compared to it's steel frame. Carefully close the door. Once closed, determine which direction you should shim the frame (between cement and frame). If the door is fitting well into the frame, both center locking lugs should engage and disengage with perhaps a little bit of clearance. If these conditions are good, skip to the last pictures instructions.
|You should be reading this section because the frame may require adjustments with shims. Where you insert the shims will depend on what part of the frame is sticking out. For example, when you shut the door, and the door hits on the top first, and doesn't quite close on the bottom, you would loosen up the top anchor, and slide a 1/8" (or thicker/thinner) shim in between the frame and the wall, and place the shim about an inch away from the upper anchor bolt. Tighten the anchor back up and make sure the frame is fitting good. This may require more tapping with a big hammer and wedging into position. If you have an outswing vault door, adjust the gap in between the frame and door, by removing the square tubing that is located about 4ft up, and in the way of the walk through area. If the door is rubbing on the bottom, loosen the bottom stud, and place a shim all the way across, just below the stud. When you tighten it up, it will drive the frame upward on the open side.
|Now that the frame is fitting good, go ahead and fill the gap between the frame and cement wall, which should be about 5/8" to 3/4" with mortar. Let it cure, then remove the wedges, and fill in the wedge gaps with mortar. Test to see if the door open and closes properly. Finish installing the rest of the anchor studs at this point. If you need anymore tips, please give us a call.
Smaller Semi Truck
Most freight companies will deliver with full sized freight trucks, however, we will look into getting a smaller truck if you have a tricky driveway a full sized truck can't maneuver in. Usually, these are 28ft trailers, and you still need to account for the tractor itself. Due to some locations, it could delay the estimated day of arrival. If you feel you could have issues with any freight trucks to your location, please let us know in advance, or the freight company will only have the option of dropping it off curbside. On occasion, freight companies tell us there are small trucks available when there is not. We try our hardest to prevent this from happening, but there is no guarantee we can get a small truck to you.
Garage Delivery
This is a free option if you have cleared a path for the pallet jack and have a smooth surface for it to roll on from the truck location, into the garage. No bumps, steps, gravel, grass, steep inclines, or anything a pallet jack, with one truck driver, cannot handle. Please note, truck drivers do not lower their lift gates on an incline, because they want to avoid damaging your driveway. This option is not guaranteed. They will not take the safe off the pallet or unwrap it.

So here we are, home at last.
We left Tallahassee at 7:50 with 79 degrees under clear skies and drove to the State Capitol Complex, which is in the middle of the city. We arrived during rush hour traffic, so it was not possible to get out of the car and wander around. I snapped a couple of photos through the car window (something I have done a lot of on this trip). Basically there are two capitol buildings, the "Old State ...

State goes after certificate of Osceola Co. teacher accused of forcing child to eat hot sauce
OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. - State leaders are going after an Osceola County teacher who was accused of dousing the crayons of a special needs student in hot sauce.
Channel 9 has followed Lillian Gomez's case since she was fired in 2012.
She appealed her firing and won, but when the district refused to give her job back
she went to a higher court, and that judge put her back in the classroom.
Channel 9's Kenneth Craig found out that the Florida Department of Education is now going after her teacher certification.
Jose Holguin, the father of the special needs student she was accused of force-feeding hot-sauce soaked crayons, said he doesn't want her back in a classroom.
"I've said it and I'll say it again, 'Ms. Gomez, this is not your path,' Holguin said in an interview last year.
More than $100,000 tax dollars were spent in legal fees fighting her cases.
Now the DOE is going above the district in an effort to revoke her teaching certificate.
But Gomez is fighting the state.
"Looking at the history of this case, it's a high bar for the commissioner to successfully take this teacher's certificate," said WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer.
Two courts agreed that Gomez shouldn't have been fired.
Sheaffer said proving she should be stripped of her certificate could be tough.
"The administrative judge in this current action is going to give great weight to fact and conclusions of law made by the former administrative judge and the appellate court," said Sheaffer.

I needed an element with a background to be 100% height and the usual solutions didn't seem to work for this project. The problem with the other solutions around the web is that they either work when the page is short and without scrollbars, or they just work for longer page (with scrollbar).
A friend reminded me to set the element to
display: table;, but said it might now work for IE7. He was right and here's how to make it work for everyone.
The element I want full height for is
.document and the base structure for the html is:
The CSS which works is:

Runway Style House, Oakland
If you haven't been to Runway Style House yet, go now! The problem might be that you've never actually SEEN it yet: it's hidden on the second floor of a building in Downtown Oakland, but you've probably walked by it! Crane your neck a little, and you'll see racks of colorful clothing right above Bar Dogwood! Like so-
Another reason you might not have been yet- this little shop is basically a baby! Runway Style House has only been around for about 4 months. Boutique years are kind of like dog years, but that's still pretty damn young. Anyway, I hadn't even heard of this delightful place until a week ago, so if you start going there now, you can say you went there BEFORE it was huge!
As I climbed the stairs up to the second floor, I could feel vibrations under my feet, and a kickin' bass line in the air. Once I peeked my head through the door, I saw that, by happenstance, I'd chosen to visit during a free concert; there were some badass chicks playing on a makeshift stage, and a few dozen well-behaved listeners.
This didn't get in the way of my browsing, though. NOTHING gets in the way of my browsing! I listened with one ear while wandering around the back of the room, settling in to listen every so often when a new performer would hit the stage.
It's the little things that matter. Like this sweet heart-shaped zipper on the back of the dress.
These vintage shoes would look great with it, don't you agree? I love a low heel. It gives your butt that little perk, your ankles that extra shape, but doesn't kill your calves.
Finish the outfit with this gorgeous vintage purse. Honor the memory of this innocent, long-dead crocodile by putting tampons and lipstick inside of a handbag made out of him!
There's more than clothes and jewelry here. All you hipster Martha Stewarts need to check out the sunny, square room at the far end of the shop- it has quirky little trinkets and handmade tchotchkes that you'll be dying to find space for in your walk-in-closet-sized room. Since it's almost time for all Americans to unite in getting schwasted and pretending to be Irish, let me showcase these cheeky little clovers:
And finally, because I love seeing a woman in a tie, here's a whole trunk full of them. With a crisp white blouse, some mustard-y slacks, and a floppy hat, and you are more Annie Hall than Annie Hall herself! Just…don't emulate Annie in way other than fashion, ok? Lady had some relationship issues.

COLONIAL REVIVAL BEADED OVAL DOOR SET Item # G1174
Circa 1910
Simple yet decorative Colonial Revival door hardware like this beaded oval design was used in countless bungalows, foursquares and Dutch Colonials from the turn of the century well into the 1920s, regardless of the style of the house. Though these particular sets show the authentic wear of a century of use, they retain traces of their original finish - a finish known as mottled or oxidized copper that was common between 1900 and 1920, yet remains poorly understood today. Consisting of bold patterns of relieved copper highlight on a darkly antiqued background, the finish was especially popular on less expensive materials like cast iron and steel to enrich and romanticize their look. It was used on lighting, hardware, and even furniture to convey a rugged and exotic character that was unique to the time period.
Notes: Finish varies from set to set Historical Style: Colonial Revival

I have two Network devices I cannot pull snmp or wmi from due to they are owned by bloomberg. I do want to ping them and can, just when the scan runs it labels them as problems due to it cannot get the info. I have to choose ignore each time, then the scan errors go away. Is there a way when you choose ignore that it will save the ignore and not give the errors? I don't want to delete them as I do want to make sure they are up and running just by spiceworks pinging it.

without the correct credentials, it will always produce an error but i never have to press ignore. it will complete the scan and i just go to see the inventory after the fact. then i just look at all my devices with scan error...
so to answer your question, no. but you can always use a command prompt to ping to verify server activity.

I opened the window. I needed some air. Did that really just happen?
"Sadie, we need to talk. Now," Dad said.
"What? I don't want to talk about her. Leave me alone," I replied, surprised at the bitterness of my own voice.
"I think you might want to hear what I'm going to say."
Cautiously, I turned around. He was smiling. What could there possibly be to smile about? But I focused my attention on him -- listening, but not meeting his eyes.
"I've received some news from your Aunt Louise. We've sent out a handful of people to search for your Mom," he hesitated. "They think they know where she last was. They're still looking for her, but we have some idea on where she is."
What was I supposed to say to that? It was good news, but it was bad. I wanted to laugh and I wanted to cry.
Dad left to room and I just sat, motionless. What now?
I closed the window and curled up on my bed. Was she thinking about me right now? Did she know where she was going? Where she wanted to stay? It would be easy to get on and off a plane and stay where she was.
That's when I realized that she was moving for a reason.
So we couldn't find her.

|Re: performance on filtering against thousands of different publications
|Mon, 13 Aug 2007 14:17:58 GMT
I would presume that (like a lot of things) there is power-law at play in the popularity of publication sources (i.e. a small number of popular sources and a lot of unpopular ones). The "Zipf" plugin in Luke can be used to illustrate this distribution for the values in your "publication source" field. Given this disparity, it makes sense to only cache Filters for the most popular publication sources. Reading a large list of doc ids (the TermDocs) for these popular terms takes a lot of time so it makes sense to cache them whereas it clearly is not valuable to use exactly the same amount of memory (i.e. a new Bitset(reader.maxDoc) ) to cache an unpopular term whose TermDocs can be read from disk quickly. I would use BooleanFilter to combine the user's choices of publication source terms and use CachingWrapperFilter around (popular) individual Term Filters added to the BooleanFilter rather than using CachingWrapperFilter around the BooleanFilter as a whole. This is because your are much more likely to get cache hits on the popular individual terms than on a user's particular selection of publication sources and these cached items can be combined together in the BooleanFilter super fast. Hope this makes sense Mark ----- Original Message ---- From: Cedric Ho <email@example.com> To: firstname.lastname@example.com Sent: Monday, 13 August, 2007 5:17:52 AM Subject: performance on filtering against thousands of different publications Hi all, My problem is as follows: Our documents each comes from a different publication. And we currently have > 5000 different publication sources. Our clients can choose arbitrarily a subset of the publications while performing search. It is not uncommon that a search will have to match hundreds or thousands of publications. I currently try to index the publication information as a field in each document. and use a TermsFilter when performing search. However the performance is less than satisfactory. Many simple searches takes more than 2-3 seconds. (our goal: < 0.5seconds). Using the CachingWrapperFilter is great for search speed. But I've done some calculation and figured that it is basically impossible to cache all combination of publications or even some common combinations. Is there any other more effective way to do the filtering? (I know that the slowness is not purely due to the publication filter, we also have some other things that will slow down the search. But this one definitely contributed quite a lot to the overall search time) Regards, Cedric --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Ninja Penguin in: Prom Peril!!
Ninja Penguin Derek was tidying his bachelor 'gloo. He swept all of the mess into a neat pile in the corner, and then instructed his Polar Bear Charles to sit just infront of said pile, and then stood back to admire his handywork.
'That is some talented hiding of junk.' He said, nodding with satisfaction. Just then he saw the reminder on the calendar: "School Dance Tonight 7pm". Oh no, the dance! Derek had completely forgotten, and it was 6.59! He quickly put on his- no wait, penguins don't need to wear tuxedos, they are kinda built in. Anyway, he whipped off his black glasses and took a special pair of identical black glasses (for important functions) and zipped off to the dance in true Ninja style (which from what I gather is quickly and making karate moves without the "woaarrrr" noises).
Derek entered the dance, and was greeted by his good friend, and very pretty penguin, Penguina (her parents weren't very original when it came to names). Derek blushed inwardly, which he need not have done because there were only red and pink lights on in the hall as it was, and adjusted where his bow tie would have been. He had to impress Penguina, but he couldn't dance to this music: a quick swing played by some strangely shark-shaped penguins with moustaches on, covering where their beaks should be.
Wait a minute...
Penguina gasped as Derek ran over to the band and whipped off their moustaches in turn, to reveal some shady looking fish...
The leader of the quintet, a violinist with sharp pointed teeth, flashed an evil smile at the others as they replaced their instruments with guns! Everybody screamed as the sharks began to fire, only...they seemed to have misunderestimated the fact that bullets do not travel half as quickly in water, and were now just floating about aimlessly. Scientific fact (it's not, I just thought you'd believe me if I put that).
Derek shook his head pitingly at the sharks, which lulled them into a false sense of security: they did not see his swift punches coming. Dumbos.
The sharks lay on a heap on the dancefloor, groaning as a shoal of police swum along to arrest them. Derek lowered his glasses at a bunch of girls standing nearby, and they all swooned, partly because they found him very dashing and also a bit because with his wearing dark glasses all the time, they had forgotten that he had eyes. Penguina laughed, and Derek leaned in for a cheeky penguin peck...
Next time: Derek faces one of his toughest choices yet- Tea or coffee???
Oh yeah, and the his demented evil twin is on the loose, that too.

The Independent on Sunday: EC plans to make the rigging of interest rates criminal
The European Commission is set to make interest rate-rigging a criminal act in the wake of the Libor scandal. Arlene McCarthy, a Labour MEP and vice-chair of the commission's economic and monetary affairs committee, said: "We're extending the scope of the [market abuse] directive and making Libor-rigging illegal. But I want this future-proofed so that it doesn't just cover Libor."

John Connolly, the chairman of G4S, says he fears the security fiasco surrounding the London Olympics will lead to his company being frozen out of lucrative government contracts. Mr Connolly, who took up his post on 8 June, says contracts to run prisons and back-office police work could be under threat, as it seems is the position of Nick Buckles, the group's chief executive.

BOLTHYPE senior writer Jeff Williams breaks down the good & bad of the San Diego Chargers' preseason, meeting Ryan Mathews, and more...
The preseason is over, and the Chargers will soon pare down their roster to the final 53 players. After watching the previous four exhibition games, what have we learned? The Chargers starting offense will be better with Ryan Mathews running the ball; that fact surprises no one. The Chargers starting defense? I think the jury is still out. They have had their moments, but have yet to put together a consistent performance. Hopefully that changes come September 13 in Kansas City.
Of greatest concern is what appears to be a lack of solid depth at a number of positions. Perhaps I'm just smarting from a ridiculously poor effort in Thursday's preseason finale, but stick with me here. More and more the Chargers have pushed former back-ups (Clary, Dombrowksi, Naanee, Cason, English to name a few) into starting roles without maintaining the level of talent behind them. The unit that stands out the most is the offensive line, an important piece to any contending team but one that is woefully lacking in depth on this roster.
Other thoughts from the preseason:
- Ryan Mathews will be a stud...no kidding, right? Let me finish; Ryan Mathews will be a stud, who may be more prone to injury then LT ever was early in his career. It was many years before LT ever suffered an injury worth mentioning. Throughout his career he made it a point to avoid the big hits that will wear a guy down. Unlike LT, Mathews has no problem running over a defender. Hey, that's great football to watch but does nothing to prolong a guy's career. Here's to hoping he can stay healthy for a number of postseasons runs.
- Antonio Garay is the best nose-tackle on the Chargers roster. I have high hopes for rookie Cam Thomas, but at this point you don't need to double-team him to neutralize him. Hopefully with experience, he will turn into the 2nd coming of the former #76.
- Luis Castillo looked solid in the preseason. I know this gets said every year, but perhaps this is the season where he becomes more of a force on the Chargers defense.
- Wasn't it great to see Buster Davis making plays in the preseason? He has the talent to be a factor this year, and this offense will be even better if he stays healthy.
- What happened to the pass rush? I'm starting to think that Steven Gregory and/or Weddle will lead the team in sacks.
- I'm much more worried about Jeromey Clary at right-tackle than Brandon Dombrowski at left-tackle.
- One more thing about the depth on this roster. I have no problem with guys working their way into the starting lineup. I just don't see the talent being replaced, and I think we saw that results of that in this preseason.
I had the chance to meet Ryan Mathews at an event earlier this week. As we have all heard, Mathews is a great guy, friendly, down to earth, with a big smile and a huge laugh. For a guy who spent a lot of time in the hottest and dirtiest places in California (you know, Bakersfield and Fresno), he told me that his favorite thing about San Diego was the weather. Big surprise, Ryan!

Chapter 5
The wind howled against the side of the car causing the snow to form large drifts. The windshield had been smothered blocking all view to the outside world. Rachel shivered into her coat and laughed at Dick as he struggled to get to the back seat over the stick and hand brake.
"Drat! Double drat Last time I opt for a manual!"
In his frustration he forgot to balance his weight and keened forward.
Raising a brow she placed her hands on her hips. "Hey, careful of the upholstery. I jus... What do you mean YOU? It's my car you fool."
Another laugh echoed through the car, but it was cut short as he lost his balance.
"Ah. AGH!"
His head was caught in a dizzy whirlwind where images of planes and pidgeons assaulted his mind. He thought how lucky he had been to have his fall suppressed by the vehicle's air bags but then....remembered that was at the front of the car.
Rachel let out a surprised shriek, pushed his shoulders back and leaped backwards in her seat. She wasn't sure how to feel and flushed red hot. "Aiiyaah, c-careful where you stick that nose of y-yours!"
It suddenly felt very warm in the car and it wasn't anything to do with the heaters.
He reflexively touched his nose in response to the comment. The assertion blocking out any guilt of having accidently violtated his fellow racing competitor.
"Look Felicity Funbags! I happen to have a nose of character! What occured was an accident - pure and simple!"
She had adopted a somewhat fetal position in the corner of the car, her knees up to her chest.
"What did you just call me!?"
Her brow furrowed, but it was difficult to tell due to the lack of light in the car.
"And, yes. I suppose I should expect it from you. Mr Accidents-R-Us!" She scoffed and flailed a finger in the dim light towards what she hoped was his face. "You're so accident prone it's a wonder people don't follow you in an ambulance!"
"Accidents those were fully intentional schemes gone awry to secure the lead posi---" He stopped and brushed a finger over the tip of his nose. "Uh, yes. You're right accidents." He chided, settling into the back seat opposite her.
"Hmph." She pulled her coat on tighter even though she was now radiating heat. "Anyway, you're here now. I told you that the front seat was no good for sleep."
The wind howled louder, subsided and then got up again as she paused for a moment to figure out just how close he was sitting.
"I told you there was room for two."
"Then how did you fit back here?"
He smirked to himself twisting his moustache around his index finger then realised Muttley was not there to be present to his jest. It felt a little depressing not hearing that familiar snicker.
Well, she certainly was not going to stand for that comment. "I beg your p..."
She swung a punch satisfied that it would at least land somewhere that hurt.
Removing his plump hat and toying with it in his hands as he thought on the absence of his cohort, he was suddenly surprised to see a fist punch through it's crown.
"Eegads! My hat!"
Rachel struggled to see in the dim light and could just make out the outline of Dick flailing with his hat.
"What about your hat? Nuts to your hat! You insulted me!"
In his panic, he yanked his hat towards himself trying to get the fist through it out but through lack of planning yanked the entire arm and body of Rachel onto him.
"Oof!" She landed with a thud, face first onto his chest, her fist still stuck through his precious head gear.
A moment passed as she attempted to get up, her free hand slipping off the side of the leather seat every time she tried to push herself up and landing on Dick each time she aimed wrong.
"Agh! Eep! Let go!"
Dick froze with his arms paralyzed above his head holding the hat aloft as the aggressive woman continued to rise and fall onto him. Thoughts were a luxury his male biology couldn't afford right now.
Rachel felt him tense under her and this made her realize just what sort of a predicament she was in. She took the opportunity to slowly attempt to get up. Each movement was slow and exaggerated to be sure she didn't make the situation any worse.
He lay stiff like a board, watching her arm slip easilly out of the hat despite having created the awkward situation earlier.
After managing to sit up once more, she fanned herself with a hand and squinted towards her racing companion.
"A-Are you OK?" He seemed to still be rigid and she began to get a little concerned. "Hey! I s-said are y-you OK?" She prodded him lightly and as best as she could in low visibility in the hopes of stirring some sort of reaction.
"Fine as wine!" He squeaked out.
He still didn't move. Her body atop his prevented any thoughts of movement.
She slowly slid herself off and returned to her corner. He certainly didn't sound fine, despite what he said.
"Are you sure?"
She drew her knees back in towards her chest and gave him some room.
"I didn't hurt you or anything, did I?"
He pulled the hat back over his crown to hide the heat in h cheeks as he rose to sit much like she did opposite him.
"Not at all! Perish the thought!"
"Oh phew!" She let out a sigh of relief. Though she wanted to punch him for that comment, it was only going to be a light punch. She didn't want to cause too much harm to him. After all, she was fond of the idiot.
"Uh, so, er..." She twiddled her thumbs. "Nice weather. Shame about all the frostbite."
He chortled nervously.
"Eheh, why yes. It's very..." He looked out the window with a sigh. "Bitey."
"Bitey?" Rachel shuffled around a little. "Yes. Bitey frostbite. Mmm." It seemed as if she was just blurting out any old thing that entered her head. She felt awkward and was not sure what on earth she should do about it. There was no escaping the car, not unless she wanted to walk miles back to the hotel and probably freeze to death on the way.
"Uh...I uh..." He noticed her shiver and removed his purple coat, holding it out to her. "It's pretty cold so..."
She watched as he took off his coat and hold it out to her. Almost taken aback, she stared at it for a few moments before finally managing to form words. "Oh! N-No, it's fine. Don't worry. I don't want you getting cold either."
He puts it on her and crosses his arms, huffing out a cloud of frosty air.
"H-Hey! Now you'll get cold." She started to take it off again to return to him.
He shook his head and laughed.
"You kidding? When I didn't sleep on the floor the living room was colder than this! Ahah!"
Rachel tilted her head and pulled the sleeve back on. "Living room? Wait, sleep on the floor? You didn't, did you? When was this?" Her voice took on a shocked breathlessness as her mind tried to process what he had just said.
"Mother. I think. I just remember a woman who told me what to do. It wasn't very fun." He strokes his moustache nostalgically.
"Oh. That sounds rather horrendous. So, it was cold?"
"I suppose. It was the forgetting to feed me that mostly took it's toll. Oh. The floor. Yeah. It was."
Rachel lowered her gaze to the floor. "I had no idea. Wow." A small smile spread across her face. "Well, things are better now, right?" She patted his shoulder. "I mean, you're a Wacky Racer, after all."
"It's alright. I don't remember much. I can only recall finding a runt in a cardboard box and nursing him back to health." He touched a finger to his chin, thinking back. "After that it was just schemes and dreams."
"Dreams? You had something to hope for? I take it that was the goal of winning, right?" She reclined back in her seat and rested her knees against the back of the drivers seat.
"Hope for? No. No nonsense like that. I just kept coming up with reasons to laugh with that stupid mangy hound." He chuckled despite the remark.
"Heyyy." She nudged him with her elbow. "He's not so mangy." Muttley was indeed a favourite of hers and she found herself feeling terribly sorry for him whenever one of Dick's plans would backfire. "Is that all you do it for?"
He scratched his chin idly in thought. "I used to believe I was achieving something back in my hayday, but the more I failed. The more I realised I didn't want to succeed. It was more fun that way."
"You didn't want to succeed? But, what about winning the races? Being crowned the world's wackiest racer? The sponsorships, money, fame?" Rachel's brow furrowed. "I don't get it. You always seemed so driven to win."
He turned to her rather somlemnly and spoke slowly. "But what happens when you do win?"
"I guess," she looked at her hands, her fingers were nervously linked together, "I guess that you win the money, the title, go on with sponsorships and..." She paused for a moment. "Wait for the next race?"
He nodded not turning away. "And then what?"
"I don't know. I never really thought about it. I guess people just go on with their lives." She shrugged her shoulders. It was true, she hadn't really thought about it. Like everyone, she had just been focussed on winning.
"I don't want to win or I have nothing left to...what's that word you used? 'Hope' for."
She reeled back in shock. "What? I find that somewhat hard to believe." She began chewing on her lip anxiously. What he had said had jolted her internally. "Everyone knows who you are and what you do. You could probably do anything you wanted."
He chuckled and fell back in his chair forgetting the cold for a second. "Haha, my dear, that is precisely what I am doing!"
"But, as you say, then what? What happens when this race is over? What will you do?"
"I would have won and would no long be the dark horse underdog of the Wacky Races. Why would I give up that thrill so easilly? People never think I'm going to win, so it makes it all the more fun when I finally do."
"So you want to win eventaully? Have you thought about when that might be? I mean, you've been winning the last couple of races no problems." She leaned back and rested her head against the seat. After removing her cap, she tossed it into the front and awaited his reply.
He smirked scratching his chin idly with a finger. "Heh, like you...I don't put much thought into it. I just make sure I'm having fun with it."
"Like me?" She raised a brow and chuckled under her breath. "What makes you so sure I don't think about what I do, Mister?" She jabbed him on his shoulder. "I may be smarter than you think."
"Because if I'm not mistaken when I asked the purpose to winning, you answered and I quote: 'I don't know. I never really thought about it.'"
Rachel shook her head. "Agh! Damn it. Heyyyy, fine. Come on. It's late and cold. My head is in a mess." She chuckled again. "I can't help it if I'm spouting bollocks. It must be, what... 3AM?" She craned her neck to see her dashboard.
Dick's Head was lain back under his hat. "Snooooort!" The sounds of his nostrils flaring from exhaustion resounded through the vehicle.
"Hey! HEY!" Rachel jabbed him in his ribs. "Wake up! That's not fair, you're not supposed to fall asleep while I'm talking to you!"
He snorted and sat up at attention "Huh whu whassat?"
Unfortunately, when he sat up his head collided with hers. "OUCH! Ooyah!" She grasped her head and keeled over. "Nrrrgh!"
He grasped at his head in pain. "Yeow yeowzer yeow!" He then blinked momentarilly afterward and rather then insult the girl; "Are you alright?"
Rachel just let out a low 'hnnnnn' sound as she rolled back and fourth on the seat. She now wished she hadn't removed her hat as it may have stopped or cushioned the blow.
He glanced at her forehead and chuckled "Now, now it isn't all that bad. Just think we can call it a beauty mark tomorrow!"
She peered up at him with a furious expression, still doubled over on the seat. "I'll give you beauty mark. Just be glad it wasn't my eye! How would we explain a black eye?"
He stopped to think a moment then grinned. "Mascara?" He smirked. "Oh yes yes, quite. My bad."
She hit him again, this time harder. "HMPH!"
"Owch! I see your mother passsed some wonderful traits onto you," He said nursing his poor arm.
"OH, we're talking about mothers, are we?" Her eyes narrowed as a strange smirk spread across her face.
"Yes, well if you ever meet mine I'm sure she'll be sporting a wicked attitude and moustache herself," He retorted
That did it. Just the mental image alone. Rachel sucked in air, choked a little and fell about in hysterics. Her mind instantly imagined Dick in a dress.
Dick could only imagine what she was laughing about but he had a pretty good idea.
She attempted to catch her breath and leaned forwards resting her chin on the back of her hands. "Oh man. That's funny. That's good stuff." A tear rolled from the corner of her eye from all the laughter and landed on the seat.
He smirked and tipped his hat at an angle over his eyes as he sat back and cross his arms. "Laugh it up, I know I would."
After wiping at her eyes with her sleeve she shook her head and pulled on Dick's coat over her, bundling up like a sausage roll. "You didn't know nothing."
"Uh huh" was all he could manage. The fatigue dragging his eyes down like weights."Ah ah ah!" A hand shot out from under the coat and prodded his ribs. "Are you saying I'm boring?" After sitting up straight she unfurled the coat from around her shoulders and handed it over towards him. "Here. Have it back. You don't want to end up with a crick in your neck or something."
He glared unfavorably at her. His eyes stemming red from the lack of sleep he was getting. "Are you capable of shutting up and going to sleep?"
Her brow instantly furrowed and her lips thinned to a small line. "Fine! Take your smelly coat!" She threw it at him. "Telling ME to shut up. Especially after that little stunt at the hotel earlier. What was all that about, huh?" Her voice trailed off into a low mumble as she continued cursing under her breath, turning away in a huff and folding her arms.
He flinched as the coat slapped against his side but just sighed and tried to drift off, ignoring her frustrations.
"And budge over." She ignored his sighing and pushed her butt into his to shove him further to the side. "Taking all the god damn room. How am I supposed to sleep like that Mister I-Love-You-Shut-Up-And-Go-To-Sleep." She fidgeted some more and folded her legs under her to take up more room.
He chuckled and made a fake groan. "Oh lord, is that the moon falling? What could this crushing weight be?" He reached out and grabbed a hand full of it to emphasize his point.
Rachel instantly yelped and jumped over to her side. "Aiiie! Watch where you're grabbing!" She slapped a hand around in his general direction in case he was still trying it.
He had already moved his hand and watched her swat out of corner of his eye, only replying with a chuckle.
"Grabbing ladies butts. You should be ashamed of yourself." She turned her head and stuck out her tongue. "First you're all moody then that! HMPH!" She shuffled noisily, trying to make as much noise as she could on purpose.
"When I see a lady..." He yawned. "I'll be sure to do so." A wicked smirk arose on his face.
Rachel shot upright and glared at him. "I beg your pardon?!"
He once again lapsed into a bout of snoring under his hat.
"How dare you!?" Her voice was high pitched as she grabbed hold of his hat and began to pelt him with it over and over. "Insult me, will you? Tell me to shut up, will you? Say my ass is as big as the moon, will you!?"
He flailed and twitched under her assault but found himself laughing regardless.
"Stop laughing, you nit!" She continued to swipe. "It's... not... funny!"
He finally gave in, sat straight and grabbed her wrist in mid attack. "I think you'll find, my dear, it is." He then kissed her cheek and smiled at her.
"Ouch!" She scowled at him and wiggled her nose in disgust. "Careful how you g..." Her sentence was cut short by the peck on the cheek. "Don't... Don't you try and butter me up, Mister!"
His smirk only widened. "That, my dear, I can accomodate you with at a later time."
"Wait... What?" She blinked in confusion, her brain trying to figure out what he had just said. When it finally registered her grimace transformed into a wide, goofy grin. "Now, that's just dirty."
He released his grip, twiddling his moustache as he sunk back into his chair. "Dastardly one might say."
She picked up his coat and flopped it on his lap. "Seriously, though. I'm OK. Take it back and keep warm. I don't want you getting hypothermia or something."
"You know" He said, still twiddling his moutache. "They say the best way to keep warm in circumstances like this is to share body heat."
She blinked again, leaning forward on the seat with her hands. "Wh-What?" She slipped off the seat and quickly caught herself. "They do? Who is this 'they'?"
He only continued in stroking his moustache. "Oh, you know, survivalists."
"Oh? You know some survivalists?" She gave him a sarcastic grin and yanked at the other side of his mustache.
"Yeah, I contacted them shortly after falling for you." He mired back at her.
She tilted her head. "What?" An eyebrow raised again. "What are you talking about?"
"Oh nothing you have to concerned about, my dear."
"Now you said that I can't HELP but be concerned." She folded her arms in a huff and sat back roughly.
He replied by only smiling in a dastardly way and snugged down into his seat.
Silence fell again as Rachel pouted. She hated not being in the know and she was sure he was doing it on purpose. After a while she couldn't resist piping up again. "So, what else did these survivalists say?"
"About what in particular?" He said gesturing in a quizzative way.
"Well, you said they told you about this whole body heat thing." She narrowed her eyes.
"What else did they say?"
He smirked. "Oh lots of helpful survivalist..things."
"Liiike?" She leaned forward on her hands and urged him to continue. She did not intend on letting it go.
"Hey look a sudden distraction!" He pointed wildly in a panicked state at the window.
"Hm?" Her head whipped to the side. "Oh yeah. Snow. Great." She narrowed her eyes again and slumped back into her seat again. "Fine. I get it."
He stretched, flexing his fingers infront of him while casting an innocent smile.
Silence fell again. Rachel hated uncomfortable silences. She kept giving Dick sideways glances hoping he'd start conversation again. When certain it was a lost cause she sighed.
"So, yeah. About Max..."
Dick raised a brow awaiting the end to her statement.
"I didn't encourage him, you know. That's not the type of person I am. He just got," she paused for a second and rubbed the back of her neck. "Clingy."
