Dean Vernon Wormer: The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.
Dean Vernon Wormer: Here are your grade point avarages. Mr. Kroger: two C's, two D's and an F. That's a 1.2. Congratulations, Kroger. You're at the top of the Delta pledge class. Mr. Dorfman?
Flounder: [drunk] Hello!
Dean Vernon Wormer: 0.2... Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son. Mr. Hoover, president of Delta house? 1.6; four C's and an F. A fine example you set! Daniel Simpson Day... HAS no grade point average. All courses incomplete. Mr. Blu...
[sees Bluto with a pair of pencils in his nostrils]
Dean Vernon Wormer: Mr. Blutarsky... zero... point... zero.
[Bluto shrugs]
[the Deltas have been expelled]
Bluto: Christ. Seven years of college down the drain. Might as well join the fucking Peace Corps.
Bluto: TOGA! TOGA!
Bluto: Hey! What's all this laying around shit?
Stork: What the hell are we supposed to do, ya moron?
D-Day: [to Bluto] War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: [to Boon] Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...
[thinks hard of something to say]
Bluto: The tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!
[Bluto runs out, alone; then returns]
Bluto: What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst. "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer...
Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic... but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!
Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.
D-Day: [stands up]
Boon: [stands up] Let's do it.
Bluto: [shouting] "Let's do it"!
[all of the Deltas stand up and run out with Bluto]
[Dean Wormer's plotting to get rid of Delta House]
Greg Marmalard: But Delta's already on probation.
Dean Vernon Wormer: They are? Well, as of this moment, they're on DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION!
Otter: Let me give you a hint. She's got a couple of major-league yabbos.
Boon: Beverly!
Otter: No. But you're getting warmer. Here's another: "Oh God, Oh God, OH GOD!"
Boon: Marlene! Don't tell me you're gonna pork Marlene Desmond!
Otter: Pork?
Boon: You're gonna hump her brains out, aren't you?
Otter: Boon, I anticipate a deeply religious experience.
Chip: [being spanked as part of Omega's initiation] Thank you, sir! May I have another?
Doug Neidermeyer: And most recently of all, a "Roman Toga Party" was held from which we have received more than two dozen reports of individual acts of perversion SO profound and disgusting that decorum prohibits listing them here.
[Clorette has just passed out]
Larry's evil conscience: Fuck her. Fuck her brains out. Suck her tits, squeeze her buns. You know she wants it.
Larry's good conscience: For shame! Lawrence, I'm surprised at you!
Larry's evil conscience: Aw, don't listen to that jack-off. Look at those gazongas. You'll never get a better chance.
Larry's good conscience: If you lay one finger on that poor sweet helpless girl, you'll despise yourself forever... I'm proud of you, Lawrence.
Larry's evil conscience: You homo.
[Flounder has just fired a blank cartridge near Neidermeyer's horse, and the horse has dropped dead]
Bluto: Holy shit!
D-Day: There were blanks in that gun!
Flounder: I didn't even point the gun at him!
Bluto: Holy shit!
[D-Day checks the gun]
D-Day: There WERE blanks in that gun!
Flounder: Maybe he had a heart attack.
Bluto: Holy shit!
Mayor Carmine De Pasto: If you want this year's homecoming parade in my town, you have to pay for it.
Dean Vernon Wormer: Carmine, I don't think it's right that you should extort money from the college.
Mayor Carmine De Pasto: Look, these parades you throw are very expensive. You using my police, my sanitation people, and my Oldsmobiles free of charge. So, if you mention extortion again, I'll have your legs broken.
Boon: I want you to fix Pinto up, but it's got to be a very special girl.
Pinto: Look, you don't have to...
Boon: Now, she should be good-looking, but we're willing to trade looks for a certain... morally casual attitude.
Katy: You mean you want someone he can screw on the first date.
Boon: Well put. You see, Pinto's never been laid.
Pinto: Hey!
Boon: What'd I say?
D-Day: Hey, quit your blubberin'. When I get through with this baby you won't even recognize it.
Otter: Flounder, you can't spend your whole life worrying about your mistakes! You fucked up... you trusted us! Hey, make the best of it! Maybe we can help.
Flounder: [crying] That's easy for you to say! What am I going to tell Fred?
Otter: I'll tell you what. We'll tell Fred you were doing a great job taking care of his car, but you parked it out back last night and this morning... it was gone. We report it as stolen to the police. D-Day takes care of the wreck. Your brother's insurance company buys him a new car.
Flounder: Will that work?
Otter: Hey, it's gotta work better than the truth.
Bluto: [thrusting six-pack into Flounder's hands] My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.
Otter: Better listen to him, Flounder, he's in pre-med.
D-Day: [firing up blow-torch] There you go now, just leave everything to me.
[Otter and Mrs. Wormer are in the supermarket vegetable section]
Eric 'Otter' Stratton: Mine's bigger.
[Marion looks questioningly at him]
Eric 'Otter' Stratton: My cucumber. It's bigger. I think vegetables can be very sensuous, don't you?
Marion Wormer: No, vegetables are sensual. People are sensuous.
Eric 'Otter' Stratton: Right. Sensual. That's what I meant. My name's Eric Stratton. People call me Otter.
Marion Wormer: My name's Marion. People call me Mrs. Wormer.
Eric 'Otter' Stratton: Oh, we have a Dean Wormer at Faber.
Marion Wormer: How interesting. I have a husband named Dean Wormer at Faber. Still want to show me your cucumber?
Eric 'Otter' Stratton: You guys up for a toga party?
John 'Bluto' Blutarsky: Toga! Toga!
Eric 'Otter' Stratton: Ah, I think they like the idea, Hoov.
Pinto: Before we go any further, there's something I have to tell you. I lied to you. I've never done this before.
Clorette De Pasto: You've never made out with a girl before?
Pinto: No. No, I mean, I've never done what I think we're gonna do in a minute. I sort of did once, but I was drunk...
Clorette De Pasto: That's okay, Larry. Neither have I. It's my first time too. And besides, I lied to you, too.
Pinto: Oh, yeah? What about?
Clorette De Pasto: I'm only 13.
Clorette De Pasto: Dad! Mom, Dad, this is Larry Kroger. The boy who molested me last month. We have to get married.
Eric 'Otter' Stratton: Sophomore dies in kiln explosion? Oh My God! I just talked to her last week... She was going to make a pot for me.
Dean Vernon Wormer: Greg, what is the worst fraternity on this campus?
Greg Marmalard: Well that would be hard to say, sir. They're each outstanding in their own way.
Dean Vernon Wormer: Cut the horseshit, son. I've got their disciplinary files right here. Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the varsity swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode.
Greg Marmalard: You're talking about Delta, sir.
Dean Vernon Wormer: Of course I'm talking about Delta, you TWERP!
Boon: It's not gonna be an orgy! It's a toga party.
Katy: Honestly, Boon, you're 21-years old. In six months you're going to graduate, and tomorrow night you're going to wrap yourself in a bed sheet and pour grain alcohol all over your head. It's cute, but I think I'll pass this time.
Boon: Want me to go alone?
Katy: Baby, I don't want you to go at all.
Boon: It's a fraternity party, I'm in the fraternity. How can I miss it?
Katy: I'll write you a note. I'll say you're too well to attend.
Neidermeyer: You're all worthless and weak! Now drop and give me twenty!
D-Day: Ramming speed!
Charming guy with guitar: I gave my love a cherry / That had no stone / I gave my love a chicken / That had no bones / I gave my love a story / That had no end / I gave my...
Bluto: [grabs the guitar and smashes it against the wall] Sorry.
Gigantic Dude: Do you mind if we dance with your dates?
Bluto: They took the bar! The whole fucking bar!
Meaner dude: If I was in your shoes, I'd be...
Boon: Leaving! What a good idea.
Dean Vernon Wormer: I hate those guys.
Bluto: Food fight!
Boon: [At the bar in the Negro Dexter Lake Club, Boon turns to face the band] Otis, my man!
[Otis pauses singing for a second and peers incredulously at Boon]
Babs: Greg, honey, is it supposed to be this soft?
Otter: Point of parliamentary procedure!
Hoover: Don't screw around, they're serious this time!
Otter: Take it easy, I'm pre-law.
Boon: I thought you were pre-med.
Otter: What's the difference?
[Addressing the room]
Otter: Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests - we did.
[winks at Dean Wormer]
Otter: But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!
[Leads the Deltas out of the hearing, all humming the Star-Spangled Banner]
Bluto: Grab a brew. Don't cost nothin'.
Dean Vernon Wormer: Well, well, well. Looks like somebody forgot there's a rule against alcoholic beverages in fraternities on probation!
Otter: What a tool.
Dean Vernon Wormer: I didn't get that, son, what was that?
Otter: Uh, I said, "What a shame that a few bad apples have to spoil a good time for everyone by breaking the rules."
Dean Vernon Wormer: Put a sock in it, boy, or else you'll be outta here like shit through a goose.
Dean Vernon Wormer: Put Neidermeyer on it. He's a sneaky little shit just like you.
Otter: They kicked us out of school? That makes sense.
[None of his literature students are paying attention]
Jennings: Don't write this down, but I find Milton probably as boring as you find Milton. Mrs. Milton found him boring too. He's a little bit long-winded, he doesn't translate very well into our generation, and his jokes are terrible.
[Bell rings, students rise to leave]
Jennings: But that doesn't relieve you of your responsibility for this material. Now I'm waiting for reports from some of you... Listen, I'm not joking. This is my job!
D-Day: We have an old saying in Delta House: don't get mad, get even.
Greg Marmalard: Come outta there, you bastards!
Eric 'Otter' Stratton: [in falsetto] Who is it?
Greg Marmalard: You know damn well who it is.
Eric 'Otter' Stratton: I'm sorry. You'll have to come back later. I'm doing the dishes.
Otter: Mrs. Wormer, I'm so glad you could come.
Marion Wormer: Cut the crap. Give me a drink.
Otter: Mandy, Mandy Pepperidge. I haven't seen you since we...
Mandy Pepperidge: Go away!
Otter: I'm sorry, I can only stay a minute. Can I buy you some lunch? Oh, you got your lunch. Well, how about some milk? Got your milk too. Can I just massage your thighs while you eat?
Mandy Pepperidge: Do I have to leave?
Otter: Is this any way to treat an intimate friend?
Flounder: You guys playing cards?
Dean Vernon Wormer: Have you boys seen your grade point averages yet?
[the Deltas are silent]
Dean Vernon Wormer: Well, have you?
Hoover: I have, sir. I know it's a little below par...
Dean Vernon Wormer: It's more than a little below par, Mr. Hoover. IT STINKS! It's the lowest on campus. It's the lowest in Faber history!
Mandy Pepperidge: [Bluto has joined Mandy, Otter, Greg, Chip and Babs at their lunch table and is consuming his food with somewhat sloppy gusto] Greg, can't you...
Otter: No, it's okay, just keep your hands and feet away from his mouth.
Boon: Where are you going? We just got here.
Katy: No, Boon, you just got here. I've been downstairs for an hour entertaining some kid from Pig's Knuckle, Arkansas.
Boon: Umm - maybe we could drive up to your folks' place this weekend.
Katy: Oh, fabulous. My car filled with your beer buddies going up to empty my parents' liquor cabinet. It's too depressing to think about.
Boon: No! Just gonna be you and me. And Otter and another girl.
Katy: Is this really what you're gonna do for the rest of your life?
Boon: What do you mean?
Katy: I mean hanging around with a bunch of animals getting drunk every weekend.
Boon: No! After I graduate, I'm gonna get drunk every night.
[after Delta house is closed]
Doug Neidermeyer: How does it feel to be an independent, Schoenstein?
Boon: How does it feel to be an asshole, Neidermeyer?
Doug Neidermeyer: What'd he say?
Hoover: They confiscated everything, even the stuff we didn't steal!
Babs: [Meeting Larry and Kent for the first time] A wimp and a blimp!
Bluto: [after chugging a whole bottle of Jack without a pause for air] Thanks. I needed that.
[chucks the bottle behind him, which shatters on the hood of the car behind him]
Dean Vernon Wormer: [after seeing Bluto pop out of a car in a pirate costume]
Dean Vernon Wormer: Oh my God.
Babs: That boy is a P-I-G pig.
[During the song "Shout" at the toga party]
Bluto: Gator!
[He, D-Day, and others begin shaking on the floor]
Doug Neidermeyer: A Pledge Pin! On your Uniform!
Flounder: May I have ten thousand marbles, please?
Pinto: I was thinking, maybe we could get some beer.
Clorette De Pasto: Nah, not tonight. Besides, you might get lucky without it.
Marion Wormer: You can take your thumb out of my ass any time now, Carmine.
Eric 'Otter' Stratton: Greg, look at my thumb.
[Gregg looks at Otter's thumb. Otter punches Gregg in the face]
Eric 'Otter' Stratton: Gee, you're dumb.
D-Day: [enters with a bruised and bloodied Otter] I found him after he called me from a phone on the side of the road outside of town.
Boon: [to Otter] Holy shit! What happened to you? You look grotesqe.
Otter: Some of the Omegas jumped me and did a little dancing on my face.
Bluto: Who was it?
Otter: It was Greggie and Douggie... and some of the other Hitler youth.
Boon: Why? What'd you do?
Otter: That's just it... I don't know. They're just animals, I guess.
Dean Vernon Wormer: You're out! Finished at Faber! Expelled! I want you off this campus at nine o'clock Monday morning, and I've contacted your local draft boards and told them that you were all, all eligible for military service.
Dean Vernon Wormer: You better tell Mr. Stratton and Mr. Schoenstein exactly what I am about to tell you now.
Pinto: [First Lines] Take off that beenie.
[last lines]
John 'Bluto' Blutarsky: No prisoners!
Dean Vernon Wormer: Find me a way to revoke Delta's charter. You live next door. Put Neidermeyer on it, he's sneaky little shit just like you, right? The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me!
Greg Marmalard: [at the trial of Delta House V. Omega House] Robert Hoover will speak on behalf of Delta House.
Hoover: [the Deltas cheer as he stands up] I don't think you can fully judge a fraternity without looking at the positive qualities of the people in it. The Delta House has a long standing tradition of existence to its' members and to the community at large.
Dean Vernon Wormer: [to Marmalard] I think we've heard enough.
Hoover: I was told I would have a chance to speak?
Greg Marmalard: We've heard enough.
Hoover: But I was told I would have a chance to speak!
Doug Neidermeyer: HE SAID THAT'S IT! ARE YOU DEAF?
Dean Vernon Wormer: [to Marmalard] Let's finish this damn thing.
Bluto: [in the background] BULLSHIT!
[the other Deltas start chanting "bullshit"]
Hoover: I don't think it's fair!
Dean Vernon Wormer: [angry] I'll tell you what's fair!
Bluto: [in the background] EAT ME!
[the other Deltas start chanting "Eat me"]
Hoover: Hey will someone tell those assholes to shut up?
Boon: Hey shut up you assholes!
[shows Katy laughing hysterically]
Otter: [stands up] Point of parliamentary procedure!
Hoover: Don't screw this up, they're serious this time.
Otter: Take it easy man, I'm in pre law.
Boon: I thought you were pre med?
Otter: What's the difference? Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief.
Dean Vernon Wormer: What's he doing?
Otter: The issue here is not that we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests. We did.
Otter: But you can't hold an entire fraternity responsible for the actions of a few sick, perverted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is to blame, then is this not an indictment of our education system in general? I put it to you, Greg! Isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do what you want to us, but I will not stand by and listen to you bad mouth the United States of America! Gentlemen!
[they cheer, walk out humming the US National Anthem]
Dean Vernon Wormer: You're not walking out of this one mister! You're finished! No more Delta! You've bought it this time, buster! I will call your national office! I will revoke your charter! And if you wise guys try one more thing, I am kicking you out of this college! No more fun of any kind!
Flounder: Oh boy is this great!
Flounder: I hope I score. Oh boy, oh boy!
[Last Lines]
Bluto: No prisoners!

John 'Bluto' Blutarsky: No Prisoners!

Four teams from California and the Phoenix Suns comprise the Pacific Division of the NBA.
Most see this as a battle for L.A. with the Lakers and Clippers head and shoulders above anybody else in the division. But how far are the Lakers and Clippers away from each other?
How far are they away from the Oklahoma City Thunder? We pontificate and articulate our thoughts in our final division preview.
The #NBAonPSB experts present the Pacific Division preview:
Warren Shaw Picks @Shawsports |
1.L.A. Lakers 59-23 |
2. L.A. Clippers 53-29 |
3. Golden State Warriors 41-41 |
4. Sacramento Kings 36-46 |
5. Phoenix Suns 33-49 |
The Lakers shocked the world when they somehow acquired Steve Nash from Phoenix and then used their powers of persuasion to fleece Dwight Howard away from the Magic. There starters are so intimidating that Howard has already dubbed them "The Avengers". I suspect there will be lulls in their play to begin with but by the end of the season not many teams will even stand a Loki-like chance against them. The Clippers are fine with their counterparts stealing the headlines in L.A. Blake Griffin and Chris Paul have a chemistry that is natural both on and off the court. What impresses me most about this team is their 2nd unit which is probably the best in the league. Eric Bledsoe, Jamal Crawford, Matt Barnes, Lamar Odom, Ryan Hollins and Rony Turiaf give this team depth, scoring and versatility. This is a good team that hopes to become elite this season. Hopefully Vinny Del Negro doesn't mess it up. Golden State has amassed a solid but fragile roster. Stephen Curry with his ankle woes and Andrew Bogut with every type of woe imaginable have cost their teams millions in treatment and rehab. Still when healthy they are talented. Bogut is an unselfish big who can score with either hand and block shots. His return is key. GSW has Curry "insurance" in the form of Jarret Jack but hopefully he won't be needed for 30 plus minutes/night. I like their draft selection of Harrison Barnes and Klay Thompson may be the next great shooter in the NBA. Look for a solid season from GSW finishing close to 500 (barring injuries). The Kings I dare say will surprise teams this year but it all hinges on the maturity of DeMarcus Cousins. He is a walking double-double but is also a walking time bomb. Tyreke Evans is playing for a contract extension and has the dynamite scorer Marcus Thornton peeking over his shoulder. Isiah Thomas was a nice surprise at point guard last season while Jimmer Fredette has been a disappointment. Thomas Robinson may come off the bench to start the season but depending how things go could be starting alongside Cousins at season's end. A high powered offensive attack, good coach, decent bench with an ole style of defense will have the cowbells ringing in Sacramento all season long. The Suns attempt to adjust to life without Steve Nash by replacing him with Goran Dragic. The quick tempo will remain the same and the roster is full of guys teams gave up on. Michael Beasley leads the list followed by Luis Scola, and Wesley Johnson. I still can't believe how disappointing Johnson has been. In any event, Beasley has been a model citizen who Coach Gentry says he wants to shoot more. Go figure. Scola should have a great year spreading the floor with his reliable jumper which will open up the paint for the ever improving Marcin Gortat. In short the Suns aren't bad they just aren't very good either. |
Logan Williams Picks @LoganWill17 |
1.L.A. Lakers 60-22 |
2. L.A. Clippers 54-28 |
3. Sacramento Kings 43-39 |
4. Golden State Warriors 37-45 |
5. Phoenix Suns 30-52 |
The Lakers made the most noise this offseason with two main additions. Dwight Howard and Steve Nash make this team the favorite to win the West, to most, and a legitimate threat to the Heat's reign as NBA championship. Kobe Bryant gets some much needed help with Howard replacing the immature and oft injured Andrew Bynum and Steve Nash filling a void at the point guard position that at times plagued the Lakers last year with poor play. It will take a few weeks for the new teammates to gel but once they do watch out for this team. Next up is the Clippers and the second year with Chris Paul at the helm of the offense and another year of maturity for Blake Griffin and this team gets a few nice additions with Grant Hill, Lamar Odom, and Jamal Crawford to help create such a potent offense that they will need to take down the top teams. The return of Billups from an achilles injury in late November to early December will also provide this team with a veteran presence as a leader and an experienced playoff vet. Sacramento has a nice core of young players and this is the year I see Tyreke Evans and DeMarcus Cousins become a top-tier tandem and assert themselves as two of the best young players and rising-stars in the game. The Warriors are heading into their second year under coach Mark Jackson and he will help lead this team to an improved, but not yet winning record. This is a young team who with good teaching and patience can impose a threat in the West for years to come, but give it a few more years. Now for the Suns who look to be best suited to rebuild and hope to contend in a few years, they added Luis Scola but with he loss of Steve Nash and Grant Hill this team should try and make a youth movement with their young players. They were able to land Michael Beasley who is still just 23 years old and they added Kendall Marshall in the draft to pair with Markieff Morris and Shannon Brown who are both still young. The Suns are not going to be contenders in the playoffs this year and thus their younger players should all get a chance to show what they can do. |
Steven Jones Picks @Stevenjo5 |
1.L.A. Lakers 57-36 |
2. L.A. Clippers 45-37 |
3. Phoenix Suns 33-49 |
4. Golden State Warriors 30-52 |
5. Sacramento Kings 24-58 |
The Lake Show will reclaim the title of Most Compelling Team, but might be built better for the playoffs than the 82-game grind. The bench is mediocre at best and Metta World Peace could combust at any time. The big guns can play heavier minutes in the postseason, though, which gives the rest of the league plenty of reason to worry. An unresolved coaching/front office situation combined with a wait-and-see mindset from CP3 should lead to the Clips moving sideways or slightly backward. Their offseason moves look good on paper, but the pieces don't fit well enough for the team to be more than a fringe playoff participant. The Suns are in for a painful transition from the Seven Seconds or Less era, as Goran Dragic replaces Steve Nash and everyone else finds out what it's like to create your own shot for a change. Stephen Curry and Andrew Bogut are out for ___ games. That's not a typo, it's a sentence that will come to define this Warriors season, as the number changes but the news stays the same. The Kings have quietly become a West Coast version of the Blatche-McGee Wizards, with combustible, mismatched pieces that have no business playing together. The odds of two Sacto teammates reenacting the Arenas-Crittenton gunplay incident are too high to joke about comfortably. |
Sean Eckert Picks @chefdj409 |
1.L.A. Lakers 61-21 |
2. L.A. Clippers 55-27 |
3. Golden State Warriors 40-42 |
4. Sacramento Kings 33-49 |
5. Phoenix Suns 27-55 |
Los Angeles is the only city that matters in this division. The Lakers have made the biggest noise in the offseason with the acquisitions of Dwight Howard and Steve Nash. The fact that they were able to get this done without giving up any big names besides Andrew Bynum is surprising. Everyone seems to think that the Lakers might be unbeatable, but let's remember that in a similar situation in 2004, they added Karl Malone and Gary Payton and then lost not to a super team like the Heat, but to a team without a superstar, the Detroit Pistons The Clippers will look to improve on what was one of their best season's in franchise history. Chris Paul and Blake Griffin will continue to be the headliners, but guys like Eric Bledsoe, Caron Butler, and Jamal Crawford will be key contributors. Plus, there are some wildcards out there like a potentially healthy Chauncey Billups and the return of Lamar Odom to Los Angeles. Golden State looks to complete their transition from an offensive team to a team that relies on defense to win. Mark Jackson seemed to have his players believing in his system at the end of last season and they have added some nice pieces around Stephen Curry, including 7-footer Andrew Bogut who finished last injured last year. The Warriors could make a playoff push in the West. Phoenix and Sacramento are bringing up the rear, and unfortunately, that is where they will find themselves most of the year. The Suns have to adjust to life without Nash and the Kings might get a little better, but are still a long way from where they need to be. |

We all know the talk of Tinseltown was Kobe Bryant courting Steve Nash to come to LA…no wait. I suppose the real talk was about this 6 ' 11″ man child who escaped the clutches of a disillusioned Magic organization , pouting and shouting all the way out to LA. Why go see Iron Man 3 when you can see The Crying Game: starring Dwight Howard. His antics put LA back on page 1 and bought him a one way ticket to Southern California and Shaq's "Get Off My Jock" List. Not bad for a trailer. Speaking of trailing, the Lakers are stacked top to bottom and when healthy will be a problem for the division and conference. My concern isn't as much the players as it is the coaching. Mike Brown has no excuse this season. Either they buy in or he's 'Cashin Out'. The last time the Clippers had back to back winning seasons was 1974-1976 when they were called the Buffalo Braves. For a team that has only won 36% of their games in the franchise history, 2012 Clips are shouldering the disdain and disappointment of an organization considered the laughing stock of the NBA for many years. At first glance you can say they were going to take it out on the Lakers all season long, til Superman2 decided to crash the party. But fret not cause the Clippers are still fully loaded. With Billups healthy, and a refocused Lamar "Shakin Khloe Off" Odom, this team could be deeper than the Lake Show. But can they play focused ball for 48 minutes. Here in lies the age old question. "Are they There Yet?"… No… Not Just Yet Mama, there goes that man Mark Jackson, trying to lead boys in a grown man's game. Last year he got all he could from a young, exuberant and often wild Warriors team amassing 23 wins in a shortened season. If Stephen Curry can stay healthy, points will come in bushels from their backcourt who can shoot the lights out. Couple that with David Lee and Andrew Bogut, are solid double-double guys and they may surprise some teams in the West on any given night. While Phoenix doesn't look like much this is a great landing spot for a guy like Mike Beasley aka "Heat Check", who if he's playing like how he's shown in the preseason expect big things from him this year. Guys like Gortat, and Dudley are considered the vets and Coach Gentry will rely on Dragic and Brown to lead this relatively young Suns team to some promise, but this will come down to their 2011 draft pick Markeiff Morris. You saw flashes of all-star ability in him last year, but wasn't consistent enough. Can he speak the NBA language or like a lot of 1st rounders just get Lost in Translation? I really hate making this team the fall guy, because not since the Webber-Divac-Stojaković days have we seen a solid Kings team hit the court. But Sacramento is going to play little sister to their big brothers in the Lakers and Clippers. There is promise though with Fredette and Evans anchoring the backcourt, and DeMarcus "Big Country" Cousins bullying the paint. Visitors may be playing with house money when they come to a hostile Power Balance Pavilion (16-17 home record) who may be watching their final days of their beloved Kings play in their house. |

The world's oceans have been experiencing a much longer warming trend than earlier thought, according to new research from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. According to the EurekAlert article, the world's oceans have warmed .33 degrees Celsius (.59 degrees Fahrenheit) in the upper portions of the ocean since the 1870's.

Subject: | Dorian Part 2 |
Author: | dramaelf (Authenticated as dramaelf) |
Date: | December 7, 2012 at 8:03:08 PM |
Reply to: | 12 Days:Day 2 by klundtacular |
Dorian parked the shuddering Toyota on the street in front of his Aunt Melanie's house. He figured it would be safe enough if he left it parked under a streetlight- not that any enterprising car thief would be bothered with this vehicle, but Cass would never let him live it down if her car was returned anything less than intact.
"Aunt Mel? I'm here."
"Dorian, that you? Hang on, I'll be right out."
He had time to see how she'd decked out the living room for the Christmas. The red and green sparkly garlands that hung from everything had a sort of ugly charm.
"You sure did destroy the house this year, Aunt Mel."
"Oh, shut up. I just enjoy the holiday." She smiled and hugged him.
They made idle talk over dinner about his work in the police department, and Mel's exploits in the 70's- this was her favorite topic, so Dorian mostly listened. Something else caught his interest after a while.
"Oh, well, I just wanted something of your mother's." A framed pencil sketch of two turtle doves hung on the living room wall. "I remember when she drew that."
Dorian remembered it too, but from somewhere else. "Wasn't that in my dad's office?"
"He wouldn't have minded."
"Just don't know why you'd want something from there."
"Dorian Hunter, you will not talk that way about your father." Aunt Mel was relentless in defending Dorian's father, even if her efforts were lost on Dorian.
Every time he tried to remember his father- hunched over scribbling on exams in his office, watching late night detective movies, his rough tweed suits and sarcastic life advice- all he could think of was his final murderous insanity.
"All right, Aunt Mel. I won't."
We're all in the gutter, but some of us look at the stars.

Database breach raises concerns over Web security
Written by Giles Morris- Lead contamination prompts permanent monitoring at SCC
- SCC asks Macon for 40 percent of bond project cost
- Contamination persists at SCC shooting range, testing shows
- Designer selected for $17 million health building
- Swain left off SCC priority funding list
- Lead cleanup poised to start at SCC
- Between the fingers lies the soul
- Additional testing under way for SCC shooting range
In August a computer hacker broke into a North Carolina Community College System server and potentially gained access to the personal information of 51,000 library users across the state.
The cyber break-in was deemed harmless by investigators in the wake of the event, but it left behind glaring questions about the security of personal information on the Internet.
According to N.C. Community College officials, the perpetrator accessed the library patron information in August via a computer server housed in the community college system office in Raleigh by decoding a user password.
An initial investigation revealed that 8,300 driver's license numbers, originally collected by 18 colleges to help identify library users, were stored on the server. However, an ongoing review of the incident revealed that an additional Social Security numbers of 42,500 library patrons were also stored on the breached server, including the information of patrons from Haywood Community College and Southwestern Community College.
Ryan Schwiebert, IT director at SCC, explained how the breach affected the college.
"As a college we stopped using social security numbers quite some time ago," Schweibert said. "The social security numbers that were jeopardized in the breach were left in the library's system from two years ago."
Schwiebert said the state's community college library server is an "open facing" system, which means it can be accessed via the Internet. He said best policy dictates that private information be maintained only on servers that don't allow that level of access. For instance, the SCC's student information database is secured on a server protected by layers of firewalls.
"That type of server would be very difficult for a hacker to access without being caught," Schwiebert said. "Even for one of our own people."
In the wake of the security breach, N.C. Community College officials notified 51,000 library users from 25 community colleges that a security breach had occurred on a computer server containing their personal information. While reviews and investigations after the event indicated that the hacker had not accessed any personal information, state and federal privacy laws dictated that the college system inform all of the users who had potentially been affected by the breach.
Forty-six community colleges that participate in the Community College Libraries in North Carolina consortium maintain information on more than 270,000 library users on this server. The security breach was discovered Monday, Aug. 24, during a routine security review and was reported to the state's Information Technology Service at that time. Students potentially affected weren't notified for another four months.

GREENWOOD, Ind. – A vigil has been held for a suburban Indianapolis teacher whose home was destroyed in an explosion that ripped through her neighborhood.
Two people were killed in the explosion Saturday night. Officials have not released their names.
However, a candlelight vigil was held at Greenwood's Southwest Elementary School on Sunday night for second-grade teacher Jennifer Longworth. She and her husband, John Dion Longworth, lived at a home destroyed in the blast.
WTHR-TV reports that friends, family and colleagues of Jennifer Longworth gathered at the school.
Superintendent David Edds (eeds) says the Greenwood schools will open two hours late Monday so staff can prepare for how they will talk to students about what happened.

MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell cackled with glee over an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll July 24 which showed President Barack Obama leading Mitt Romney, 49 percent to 43 percent. If he knew how to read polls, he'd have cried.
The purpose of a poll, ostensibly, is to find out what people think. But some polls are conducted to influence how we think.
On issues, responses vary dramatically, depending on how questions are worded. Eighty percent of respondents answered yes to this question: "Should laws be passed to eliminate all possibilities of special interests giving huge sums of money to candidates?" But only 40 percent said yes to this one: "Should laws be passed to prohibit interest groups from contributing to campaigns, or do groups have the right to contribute to the candidate they support?"
You can't slant a poll on candidate preference by how you word the question. But you can manipulate the sample.
Democrats have had, on average, a 3 percentage point advantage in turnout in presidential elections from 1984 on, according to exit poll data.
No one thinks President Barack Obama or his party will be as popular this time. The exit polls for the 2010 midterms showed Republicans and Democrats tied at 35 percent. In Gallup's annual survey in January, Democrats had a 4 point edge, 31-27. But that's the lowest percentage for Democrats since 1988.
It's one thing to answer a pollster's question, another to show up to vote. A Rasmussen survey of likely voters in June found Republicans leading, 35-34. In a Gallup poll in July, 51 percent of Republicans -- but only 39 percent of Democrats -- said they were "more excited about voting than usual."
The partisan breakdown in November figures to fall somewhere between the historic 3 point advantage for Democrats, and a tie. In the NBC/WSJ poll, Democrats outnumbered Republicans by 11 percentage points.
The RealClear Politics average of polls -- which on Monday showed President Obama leading, 46.4 percent to 45 percent -- more accurately reflects the state of the race. But even it overstates supports for Democrats.
Psephologist Jay Cost examined polls of registered voters by news organizations. On average, 5.5 percent more Democrats were polled. Collectively, the polls overstate support for President Obama by 2-3 percentage points.
Even exit polls -- which should be the most accurate, since they're taken right after people vote -- have overstated support for Democrats by about 2 percentage points. In 2004, exit polls predicted a win for Democrat John Kerry. In the recall election in Wisconsin in June, exit polls predicted a cliffhanger. Republican Gov. Scott Walker won comfortably.
So before you get excited, or depressed, by a poll, check its margin of error, and the partisan breakdown.
Most statistically valid polls have an MOE around 3. That means each number in it could be 3 points higher, or 3 points lower. So if a poll shows Candidate A leading Candidate B, 46-44, Candidate B actually could be ahead, 47-43.
Even garbage polls like the NBC/WSJ poll provide clues to the real score, if you know what to look for. Despite the enormous oversampling of Democrats, President Obama was below 50 percent, had only a 6 point lead. He trailed Mr. Romney by 2 percentage points among "high interest" voters.
Here are some other important facts about polls you usually aren't told:
• When a president runs for re-election, his percentage of the popular vote closely tracks his job approval. No president with a job approval below 50 percent has ever been re-elected.
• A challenger who is in a statistical tie with an incumbent president in midsummer is unusually strong, because the stature gap between the challenger and the president usually doesn't narrow until after the out party's nominating convention. This is especially so for GOP challengers, because they don't have journalists spinning for them. Often the first time voters hear the Republican side of an issue is when their advertising kicks in after Labor Day.
President Obama is in deep, deep kimche. I suspect Mr. O'Donnell knows this. He just doesn't want you to.

NEW YORK (AP) — Police were rounding up 18 people in New York City on Thursday on allegations they sold "party packs" of cocaine and sex to high-end clients and texted their customers to advertise ahead of this week's Super Bowl festivities.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's office said the arrests follow an 11-month investigation by the state Organized Crime Task Force, the Department of Homeland Security and the New York Police Department. About half of the 18 suspects had been arrested by 9 a.m. Thursday and brought to a Manhattan police precinct for processing before arraignment, a spokesman said.
Authorities said electronic and other surveillance and reviews of business records show the ring laundered money and credit cards through clothing, wig, beauty supply and limousine businesses and targeted wealthy, out-of-town customers, especially during large events. Prostitutes would bring cocaine to clients who ordered the so-called party packs.
While authorities say the criminal conspiracy extended to Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island and the Hudson Valley, the operation was based in Manhattan. A text to regular customers saying "new sexy & beautiful girls R in town waiting for u" was sent 10 days before Sunday's Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium in the New Jersey Meadowlands, which is expected to draw some well-heeled football fans to the city.
The ring also promoted the suspects' business with advertisements on the Internet and public access television and sometimes billed for cocaine as equivalent "hours" of prostitution, authorities said.
They allege that after clients were impaired by drugs, the ring would flood the room with additional prostitutes and repeatedly charge clients' credit card, at times more than $10,000 for one night. Through the front businesses, the group would charge credit cards for legitimate goods and services that were not provided, according to investigators.
"Drug trafficking and prostitution are a scourge on communities across our state," Schneiderman said.

My tongue is red and burning07/14/2009 |
A couple of weeks ago my doctor put me on a Z-pack and i`m taking methotrexate 2.5mg and folic acid 1mg, could I behaving a reaction cause it really hurts i`ve lost my voice and it comes and goes. This is anew doctor I`m seeing because my doctor retired kinda. I were dentures but I soak them at night.
This could represent a yeast infection (oral candidiasis) or it could be a side effect of the methotrexate that you are taking. The yeast certainly could be living in the microporosities of the denture, and over-the-counter denture soaks often are not effective in eliminating the yeast contamination of the denture. Ideally, you should be evaluated and treated by an oral pathologist.

Federal Funding for Medical Research Is Critical to Nation's Health
Washington, D.C., April 17, 2012—AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges) President and CEO Darrell G. Kirch, M.D., issued the following statement:
"On tax day, the nation's medical schools and teaching hospitals would like to recognize the important role of taxpayer support for medical research.
Medical research is one of the best long-term investments our nation can make, offering hope to patients and their families, improving the health of all Americans, and driving our nation's economic growth.
Over the past 60 years, federally funded medical research conducted by medical schools and teaching hospitals has helped drive innovation that has dramatically improved health. Because of our nation's investment in medical research, the death rate for heart disease is more than 60 percent lower—and the death rate for stroke 70 percent lower—than it was in the World War II era. Cancer death rates have dropped 11.4 percent among women and 19.2 percent among men over the past 15 years because of better detection and more effective treatments. A baby born today can look forward to an average life span of nearly 78 years, almost three decades longer than a baby born in 1900.
In addition, medical research improves the economic health of our nation and communities. According to Tripp Umbach, a national economic consulting firm, federal- and state-funded research conducted in 2009 at the nation's medical schools and teaching hospitals supported nearly 300,000, or 1 in 500, U.S. jobs and added nearly $45 billion to the U.S. economy.
Federal support for medical research also enjoys broad public support. According to public opinion research conducted in November 2011 by Public Opinion Strategies for the AAMC, more than 6 in 10 voters across all party lines oppose cutting federal funding for medical research to reduce the deficit.
In short, medical research is a sound investment in our nation's health that pays a lifetime of dividends in better health and quality of life for all Americans. Reducing the nation's deficit is vital, but as Congress considers ways to reduce federal spending, we urge lawmakers to sustain our nation's investment in medical research."
The Association of American Medical Colleges is a not-for-profit association dedicated to transforming health care through innovative medical education, cutting-edge patient care, and groundbreaking medical research. Its members comprise all 147 accredited U.S. and 17 accredited Canadian medical schools; nearly 400 major teaching hospitals and health systems, including 51 Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers; and more than 80 academic societies. Through these institutions and organizations, the AAMC serves the leaders of America's medical schools and teaching hospitals and their nearly 160,000 faculty members, 83,000 medical students, and 115,000 resident physicians. Additional information about the AAMC and its member medical schools and teaching hospitals is available at www.aamc.org.

Looking to buy an AR... recommendations?
Its been on my list for quite some time. I already Have 2 garands, a mauser and a 7.7 jap. I think its time to move into the modern times.
Ive had my eye on a windham weaponry AR I saw at cabelas. its a little pricey at $899 but from the reviews ive read on it, it is every bit worth it being reliable and sturdy. I like the look of it, especially with the US flag right on the mag well. Anyone have one of these that can share their opinion? the only other one I was considering was an older colt I saw for sale at a shop. It was pretty well used. I think the price was about $750 or so, But I really am not too familiar with these yet. (at least.. not till july when I ship to boot camp) Any opinions or recommendations are welcome, Id say my price range is right about where the Windham AR is, $900. Hopefully that isnt too limiting.. I still need to set some aside for mags and optics if i dont get one with iron sights. Last edited by bbman25; January 13, 2013 at 01:46 AM. Reason: spelling errors, change info |

While I considered going in a different direction for my next AR, recent events have got me considering picking up a Colt 6920 from my local Wally World if and when they get them back in stock. Unlike just about everywhere else you look, Walmart hasn't jacked their gun prices sky high and it's hard to beat a 6920 for a basic, quality carbine. It wouldn't be exactly what I want, but it would be a base to build from when everything calms back down. If there is any gun control action taken, at least I would still have a functional rifle.

Nobody can fault you for buying a Colt. I say that as an LE6920 owner who doesn't want to be faulted

When you say well used older Colt, depends on what it actually is. Does it have a fixed carry handle or a flat top? Will you be adding optics or fine with a carry handle? There are many more options with a flat top.
I don't think the WW is that out of price. It's about $100 off of pre-panic pricing. Most reviews from owners are great regarding the WW so you can buy with confidence. As others have said, you can't go wrong with a new Colt. However, if it's well used and not as configurable as you would like it to be, then I'd opt for the WW. |

If you have waited this long to go AR, you may as well wait another 3-4 months. If the other posters are correct, you'll be able to just drive down the street and pull a nice unfired one out of the trash cans.(sarcasm) I hope some one begins to realize that people are not going to dump the rifles they paid over $1K for a month before. There's several months production already on back order for anything AR'ish.
I've sold most of the AR's I have decided to part with but I'll tell you, there will be 5 buyers for every AR that comes onto the private sale market for quite some time. |

Personally I would go with a RRA AR-15. (Rock River Arms)
My father is Ex-Military and is a contractor for Academi (the former Blackwater security group) as a helicopter pilot and site manager. They issued him and the other contract pilots RRA M4's. He loves it and I have gotten really good feedback from others who own RRA AR-15 models. Once I get extra cash put aside (in the process), I will be purchasing a RRA AR-15, Tactical CAR-A4 model. One of my local FFL dealers can get the Tactical CAR-A4 model for $899. So check them out...its worth it IMHO. |

I recommend that you wait until summer and pick up one that is six months old.............cheap.
I just reread your post. I missed the part where Uncle Sam will be loaning you one in six months. I would still wait. I saw someone pricing an AR this weekend at the LGS. $2000 was the quote for one of the graphite lower models! |

They aren't going to go down in price at all. If anything, they will go up in price as any AR-15's that are still marketable will have to comply with AWB compliance rules which ALWAYS raises the price. Another point is IF the Obama administration and the rest of the Liberal anti-gun nuts have their ways...Ar-15s that are NOT purchased prior to their new laws going into effect on "Assault Weapons" won't get sold to the public...not without some MAJOR hoops to jump through. ....ALL of which will increase prices...IF...IF...they will be allowed to be sold/purchased if the Dem's have their way. The best option is to buy used now for the best price possible or have one ordered and just wait out the "build time" to get it. At least then if any new laws go into effect, you will have already purchased it prior to the new law and will be "Grandfathered" in. That's the whole reason AR sales are so high...everyone is trying to get their "dream" AR that they may have been dragging their feet to purchase to get it bought and "grandfathered" before a law blocks them. |

Honestly, if you can still get the WW for $899 I'd be all over it. Last edited by CTS; January 15, 2013 at 11:31 AM. |

Personally, I don't believe an AWB will ever happen. Not nationwide anyway. NY and a few states may tighten their laws a little more and federally they may limit mag size and tighten up NICS rules some but IMO that will be about it.

hodaka - I hear ya...we have to keep pushing back for our rights for sure.
slappy - There already was an AWB in place. It was removed by the GWB administration. It wasn't as strict as this one could be however. I would certainly hope that one would not come to pass, although...look at whom controls the bulk of the government currently...Liberals...and virtually all of them hate our gun laws. Sure...they love the S.S. with full automatic weapons guarding them and their families...State Police escorts, etc...but we can't protect ourselves with semi-auto because of 1 nut job?? I hope you are right, that we won't get a new AWB...I truly do, because this one if it comes to pass will be nasty. |

It was not removed by Bush.
It had an expiration date and was not reinstated prior to it's expiration by Bush and the congress of the time. |

Exactly, Bush and his supporters didn't want to renew it. Bush is a Texan...do you really think he and his constituents like heavy gun laws?

Blackwater, the ban was put in place during the Clinton administration for a period of 10 years. Part of the initial ban was that it would expire 10 years from the day it started in Sept 1994. Anything prior to this was pre-ban. During that ten years the manufacturers did everything they could to make weapons ban compliant. The ban expired in 2004. Anything built after that was post ban. They went back to having flash suppressors, bayonet lugs and 30 round mags, you know all those evil nasty things not allowed by the ban. The exception was a handful of states who passed their own laws keeping the ban in effect to this day, to include NY, NJ, CA and a couple others.

The word from the SHOT show is that ARs are sold out by back-orders for all of this year. IOW, each gun shop will get one or two every now and then. Same sort of deal for magazines.
So, figure out what you want, get your local shop to put it on order, and wait for a good long while.

Thanks for all the insight guys, Ive been working on saving for one.
At this point, all I know is that I want one. the WW i think is my first choice, if i can find one of course. havent called cabelas yet about ordering one but i dont think id have much luck anyway. I called the shop and the colt sold already. it was one with a fixed carry handle, so I wouldnt have been able to do much with it anyway. My uncle owns a colt (i think?) being a state trooper that is the only one he is allowed to use on the jod when needed. I did take it to the range a while ago and it shoots well. as far as placing an order for one, I'll see about making some calls, I have a few connections I can check out. There is a gun show coming up next weekend, i highly doubt it but maybe i can get lucky and find one that i can actually pay for. M1 A's are up in price too from what ive seen. |

Serious questions. "Who" are "those" that can be irrational while fixing this team in 1 or 2 years? And, assuming they are not on the current staff/front office, who do you propose to "retire" other than Tomlin?
Edit: I meant other than Tomlin; whom we can assume you want "retired" a.s.a.p.

Escitalopram Oxalate belongs to the group of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs). It is the active form of another drug which is given orally in patients with depression and generalized anxiety disorder. This drug is supposed to work through certain channels and hence restores the balance of serotonin to improve certain mood disorders.
This drug like other SSRIs is prescribed as the first line drug in managing major depressive illness and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Presently, it is also often prescribed to deal with social phobias, eating disorders, and premenstrual psychological disorders. The use of this drug has proven efficacious in generalized anxiety disorders and panic disorders. Some patients complaining of premature ejaculation and kleptomaniac disorder have also benefited from the use of the drug. Cardiologists prefer it for patients of post-myocardial infarction as clinical trials have reported its increased work capacity along with mood elevating properties. Some studies revealed that the use of this drug boosts attitudes and has certain euphoric actions in geriatric patients as well as individuals suffering from other chronic diseases.
Dosage and administration
This drug is available in tablets with the dosage of 5 mg and 10 mg as well as in oral solution, which contains 1 mg/ml base. In acute and maintenance treatment of major depressive disorders, OCD and anxiety disorders, it is prescribed in the dose of 10 to 20 mg once daily. Elderly patients are, however, initiated with half the adult dose. The dosage prescribed for patients with panic disorders and other off-label indications is 5 mg daily and subsequently increased to a maximum of 20 mg daily if necessary.
Side effects
Like other SSRIs, side effects of this drug are plenty but still it is being widely prescribed due to its efficacy. Discontinuation of the drug may be required when experiencing adverse drug reactions such as insomnia, ejaculatory delay, decreased libido, somnolence, nausea, increased sweating, fatigue and other similar problems.
Less frequent adverse drug reactions include, postural hypotension, sinusitis, diarrhea, and taste disturbances. Increased appetite, weight gain, and other minor side effects were also associated with chronic use of this drug.
Suicidal thoughts and suicidal tendencies have also been reported in young adolescent patients when using this drug. The prescribing physician must not be reluctant to decrease the dosage of the drug when such adverse reactions are observed, especially in the young adolescent and elderly patients.

Des Bowater is playing the waiting game
Wolverhampton's Des Bowater today admitted he's reining himself in as he looks to pass the first post of his professional journey at Walsall Town Hall.
The undefeated super featherweight boldly predicted he would win a world title when he turned over to the paid ranks last May, with four straight victories since.
'The Wednesfield Warrior' goes up against experienced Mansfield-based Latvian Pavels Senkovs on Saturday March 1, in what he expects to be his last four-rounder.
The 22-year-old still has lofty ambitions, but has realised it could be a slow-burn process to get to the top as he learns his trade.
He said: "Biding my time is probably the hardest thing for me. It's best not to rush as, at this stage of my career, a defeat can turn you from a prospect into a journey man overnight.
"It's about patience and improving. My style is now more pro than 'amateur' and that only comes with fights.
"As much as I want the big fights and titles now, I know I have got to rein myself in and keep improving over time.
"I'm more than ready to fight for six rounds. This will be my last four-rounder and then I will start stepping things up to six rounds. It's a balancing act."
Senkovs is a true 'journey man' of the division. Despite being just two years older than 'D Bow,' he's been involved in 77 paid contests and has only ever been stopped twice.
Bowater said: "He's tall and comes forward. That's good for me, as he will just walk onto my shots. I have boxed four different styles in my first four fights and Senkovs will be something different, too.
"He will just come forward and brawl. It's good to fight different styles, as it helps me improve my ring-craft."
Show sponsors Grosvenor Casino will be staging a fun casino on the night, with games like roulette and black jack. All proceeds will benefit the Carers Trust and Amphion Boxing Club.
Tickets, priced at £30 and £60 ringside, are available from the Town Hall Box Office on 0845 111 2900. The after-show party is at the Pitch Sports Bar and Grill on Bridge Street in Walsall.

Soooo I was trying to get in to a game of Brotherhood to satisfy my stabbing addiction. After choosing "Play now" (which would seem like the fastest way to find a game... any game) I was forced to wait 30 minutes for nothing. After that I gave up....
I looked through the Brotherhood forums (not really, there are 290+ threads and I'm not a crazy person...) but couldn't find any "Official" Brotherhood night, like there are for other games! It's an outrage!
So would anyone be interested in getting together one evening a week for some stabbing? If so post your gamertag, your location /timezone and when you would be available!
Or you could just go ahead and add my GT, "MrCatpie"....
I don't know! But something needs to be done. The Brotherhood (online servers) must prevail!

OWENSBORO, Ky. (AP) - A former United States Postal Service Employee has been sentenced to six months in prison followed by six months of house arrest for destroying, hiding and delaying the delivery of at least 44,900 pieces of mail.
U.S. Chief Judge Joseph H. McKinley also ordered 34-year-old William "Brent" Morse of Dawson Springs to pay $14,808.01 for losses suffered by residents and a local bank and for losses to two businesses which attempted to mail commercial circulars.
Morse admitted from March 2011 until March 30, 2013 he destroyed at least 1,000 pieces of mail and stored at least 44,900 pieces of mail at his deceased mother's home and at rented storage facilities in Dawson Springs.
The majority of the mail was meant for Dawson Springs. The recovered mail has since been delivered.
