What I'd like to see is Pete go up against Liz for 15 rounds - no baseball
bats allowed.  May the better UCer win.

This is serious and this is funny. There is more to fighting than fighting. 
It touches the concept of being a warrior. It is a special awareness/skill, like 
being a gifted athlete or chess player.  A knowing when to step up or to be 
modest. While certain skills can be taught, much is intuitive.
 
But regarding your original post:

Fighting is like practicing medicine. It is science, knowledge, skill, and

Also, while we were moving in my boyfriend got mugged RIGHT ON THE

course I got a description of the PERP and I cellphoned it to Mommy RIGHT 
AWAY! The guy was of course a big scary black fellow, about 6 feet 9 
inches tall, really dark complexion, thick lips, scars all over his body, 
wearing this creepy gray hoody kinda thing. OH, and I jotted down a 
DISTINGUISHING MARK -- he had these big white buck teeth and in the middle 
of the left front incisor he had this HOLE chiseled out in the shape of a

[UC] Insulation Continued

2004-11-11 Thread Dan Myers
Of the people who gave me names on this listserv, I called many, some still 
haven't returned calls- which I find a big fault for many contractors.

I was just wondering for those who have done insulation work, what were the 
costs? As I have no clue if it's expensive or not, I got an estimate for my 
whole attic (floor uplifted and returned) plus a small amount of work in a 
bay window for about $1600. To me that's a little high, but I really have no 
clue if it is. My attic is 18' by 50'. (approx. $1.80 per square foot) 
Hmmm...

Also, if anybody has every dealt with a company by the name of Leah 
Construction. The owner, Steve- he has a slight stutter, came out today. He 
was really fast, gave an estimate on the spot, and is able to start tomorrow 
or Saturday. I'm a little suspicious (someone that availble), but he said he 
has many crews that work for him. Any suggestions, cost estimates or ideas 
are helpful. Thank you in advance.

Pete:

I agree with Sam on this one.  I think you may have deserved the beating your 
received for acting so aggressively to these young boys. I am sure their 
response was not intended to be vicious, but instead was an appropriate act of 
self-defense.  The part about beating you unconscious, although obviously a bit 
over the top, is a merely an indication of the fear your actions aroused in 
these boys.  You should be ashamed of yourself.

There is more to being a badass than: 'I pushed him in the chest and
almost knocked him down, and yelled "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"'

Maybe that was your problem.  You gotta be able to take the licks as good
as you can give them - and/or vice versa.

Live free or die.

[UC] West Phila. high school's name is up for sale [article, cont'd]

West Phila. high school's name is up for sale

For $5 million, bidders can brand the Microsoft school set to open in
2006. Single rooms go for less.

By Susan Snyder
Inquirer Staff Writer

Philadelphia's new high school being built in partnership with Microsoft
Corp. has attracted worldwide attention for its anticipated technological
feats, but will it attract lucrative bidders interested in naming it?

The Philadelphia School District intends to find out.

For $5 million, the district plans to sell naming rights for the school,
which is scheduled to open in September 2006 in West Philadelphia near the
zoo, said Ellen Savitz, the district's chief development officer.

And it also will sell naming rights for individual classrooms (about
$25,000 each), the auditorium, and other sections of the school, Savitz
said. Collectively, the effort could raise $15 million to support the
project, she estimated.

"If Lockheed Martin decided to name it," she said, "it could be that...

Land deal brings Microsoft school closer
By MENSAH M. DEAN
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

The city's Microsoft-backed "school of the future" moved a mouse click
closer to becoming reality yesterday.

The Philadelphia School Reform Commission voted 3-0 to approve a $1
million land deal with the city, paving the way for a ceremonial
groundbreaking in Fairmount Park on Monday, and actual construction there
by February.

The school is scheduled to open to 175 ninth-graders by September 2006 and
will feature the latest educational technology.

"It really is an amazing and exciting step, I think, in educational
reform," said Ellen Savitz, the school district's chief development
officer, during the commission meeting.

James Nevels, commission chairman, said: "This is great for children in
Philadelphia."

I think the do not fight back advice is some of the best advice ever given on 
this list.  I've put myself in many a dodgy situation in my youth.  I've been 
in dangerous parts of Philly, NYC, Miami.  Often drunk, or more.  One time I 
decided to escape the city, and spent a summer living in Ithaca NY, and spend 
my time drawing comics/swimming in gorges.  Around 7pm, on a tuesday, in a 
town full of Phish fans... I got mugged.  A couple of high school kids jumped 
my friends and I.  I figured being a badass from a real city that I could 
intimidate my attacker.  I pushed him in the chest and almost knocked him 
down, and yelled "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"  He beat me unconscious with a baseball bat.  
I don't remember much of the beating, but apparently it was pretty brutal.  It 
took me months to recover.


Stories where people intimidate thieves are very inspiring, but dont take the
