And it should.
Where is our TJ Maxx? Where is our Hobby Lobby? Where is our multiplex movie theater with stadium seating? Where is our Applebee's? Where is our Lone Star Steakhouse? Where is our Red Lobster?
Why should we have to drive to Cullman and Gardendale for these amenities?
I am not the only person asking these questions.
The Chamber of Commerce of Walker County is doing something about it. It recently signed a contract with Retail Strategies, Inc., a Birmingham-based retail recruitment agency with a proven track record.
With the completion of the Chamber's five-year strategic plan, its leadership determined that retail recruitment should be a priority. "We realized then that upon completion, I-22 would be a cog for economic growth in our region," says Linda Lewis, executive director of the local chamber.
The I-22 corridor, better known today as Corridor X, is slated for completion in late 2014 when it ties into I-65 just north of Birmingham. That is just around the corner!
And what in the way of retail do we attribute to the major interstate corridor dissecting our county: a Love's Truck Stop and a promise of a Cracker Barrel?
Meanwhile, Lewis adds, "The chamber wants to continue down the path to create and implement a comprehensive community development program that fosters a strong retail and commercial business climate, nurtures growth of our existing business and provides new economic strategies for job creation and revenue impact."
It all sounds good, but all entities must work together. I am not going to beat around the bush; the chamber and City of Jasper must work together if retail recruitment and growth is to occur anywhere in Walker County.
I must note here that I have a seat on the chamber board. The board is comprised of well-intentioned business people that understand the complexities of our economic challenges.
But I also have no doubt that city officials and its retail recruiter Don Goetz share the same retail goals. In fact, Don is leading an effort this year to rejuvenate the Downtown Merchants Association by introducing monthly themed weekend events on downtown square. And the Foothills Festival may return.
Whoever is wielding the hatchet, please bury it. It's time to come together for the sake of retail recruitment in Jasper and Walker County.

Landesman, formerly the president of Jujamcyn Theaters, was appointed his role as NEA chairman in 2009. He is departing, as planned, after serving one term. He succeeded Dana Gioia.
"My intention has always been to serve one term, and we have been able to accomplish more than I had ever thought possible: sparking a national movement around creative placemaking, forging significant relationships with other federal agencies, creating an unprecedented healing arts partnership with the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, and increasing both the scope and impact of our research office," Landesman said in a statement.
"We have continued to support and strengthen the entire spectrum of arts in this country," he continued, "and we have been able to expand the national conversation through convenings, traditional media, and new technology. I am proud and honored to have served alongside such an amazing group of dedicated public servants."
Joan Shigekawa will serve as the acting head of the NEA until a permanent successor for Landesman can be found.
His credits as a producer include Doubt, Proof, Love! Valour! Compassion!, Angels in America, The Grapes of Wrath, The Piano Lesson, Jersey Boys, Big River; as well as the Tony-winning revivals of Guys and Dolls, Sweeney Todd, Nine, Kiss Me, Kate and the 1999 revival of Death of a Salesman.

Remember Me
BATES TOWNSHIP—Trustees here voted Jan. 9 to update the township garage, which has been without heat for nearly two weeks, Supervisor Grant Helgemo said. The heater is outdated and noisy, Helgemo told supervisors during the monthly meeting. Some circuit boards in the controller are obsolete.
Trustees received three bids for a new, high-efficiency heater. They accepted the low bid of $2,700 from Bietila's Heating and Air Conditioning of Breitung Township. Two Iron River- based contractors were considered; Smed's Sales and Service with a bid of $4,130 and Westphal's Inc. with a bid of $4,733. The Township Board also voted to install two dusk-to-dawn lights at the garage. "We have people working here at the office in the evenings. It's a safety and security issue," Helgemo said. "We want to assure the safety of our office personnel and from the shop standpoint, we keep hearing about break-ins." Bates Township workers continue to monitor water quality after receiving a positive test for coliform bacteria Jan. 7. "It is an issue, but it's not a big deal," DEQ water safety inspector Jim Rice said. "Coliform bacteria is an indicator organism that something could be wrong with the system." "It's not a health issue for people," Ed Benson, township water department head, told the board. Benson has contacted the Michigan DNR's environmental quality division in compliance with state law and began chlorinating the water system around Sunset Lake. He said some residents may detect a slight chlorine odor while the system is being flushed. Rice added that the contamination is isolated to around Sunset Lake. He said commenting on the cause of the positive bacteria test would be "speculation." The Township Board also voted to continue taking reservations for Sunset Lake Park and pavilion rentals. Both park and pavilion are slated for major renovations this year, but designers will plan the work for spring and fall to minimize disruption during the summer. Some minor tree removal will be done this winter, Helgemo said.

With more Massachusetts residents in need of social service programs, many nonprofits that provide such services say one of their biggest challenges is building stronger relationships with the corporate donors that fund them, a recent survey by the Massachusetts Nonprofit Network and Natixis Global Asset Management shows.
The survey, of 103 Massachusetts nonprofits, highlighted the difficulties such organizations faced when the economic downturn put more people in need of help but led corporations to cut back on giving as their businesses suffered. That forced many aid agencies to compete against each other for a smaller pool of money.

Ben's report this week mirrors what is being reported by others, including Drake. Very likely we are at a "tipping point" where once the tip-over has begun, nothing will stop what is coming. In any event, read on and enjoy this week's Ben.
"In the US, the Pentagon has begun asking citizens to stock up with 72 hours' worth of food because of possible disruptions associated with the imminent replacement of the US dollar with a new Treasury dollar, according to CIA sources in California. This move is also expected to be accompanied by a massive clean up operation aimed at draining the corruption out of Wall Street and Washington D.C. in order to restore the US to its former moral and economic greatness.
"Another sign that something big is about to happen is that a European CIA source asked the White Dragon Society for the names and addresses of members of the following organizations: the committee of 300, the Bilderberg group, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Club of Rome, the Trilateral Commission and the European Commission. These have been forwarded.
"Message to the members of this group: 'please do not get in our way.'"
"This week's newsletter was delayed for a day because of sensitive ongoing negotiations involving the Japanese, Chinese, Russian and US governments among others. The negotiations are still going on as of this writing and there is much we still cannot report. However, we can confirm that the Japanese government has agreed in principle to set up a 1000 trillion yen (12 trillion dollar) fund to be used to end poverty, stop environmental destruction and roll out previously forbidden technology in a responsible manner. The problem now is how to sort out the massive geopolitical repercussions this fund will create.
In what may be a related development, there appears to have been a regime change in China because Xi Xinping, the man widely assumed to be the next president of China has not appeared on the official Chinese Xinhua news site since March 31st, while his erstwhile rival, Li Keqiang, is being given massive coverage. This is only one of many signs of massive changes in planetary governance."

Thank you Gary.
I agree with your observation to some degree.
However, I do think that all if it needs balance to some degree.
Yes, it could all be a ploy and a social experiment as well.
Here is where I start to bend and become a little bit uncomfortable though.
Those who have the Golden Key (control over us) would be very unwise to expose their position or agenda in such a way that gives even the slightest rise to the thought that there is any such thing as a Cabal or NWO or Illuminati etc...
Yet are we to think that such a well developed plan would be jepordized for the sake of finding out who is with the good guys and who is with the bad guys ?
They already know who they are.
This world economy being upset as it is would become even more crippled if the powerful and the rich where to implament such a screwy topsy turvy approach to collecting data on a people who have been conqured for centuries anyway.
Are you saying that they are practicing the Art of War backwards ?
Control of a population takes extremely careful planning and stradegy and many times takes decades to impliment.
If those in power are trying to find out what we think and use that information against us, all they need to do is go to Facebook and start reading.
It would take about 2 weeks to be able to access what the little zombies are thinking.
They would not need to spend any money at all to get such information when it is right on the internet already to grab up all day long.
They may be planning something but believe me, no economic Czar would ever expose themselves in hopes to gather information on us when they already have all of the information on us that they want.
All they need to do is look at our FBI files that J Edgar kept on most of us and they can get that info for nothing.
Experiment, maybe.
I tend to drift more towards the thought that something up top has happened that is upsetting the economic apple cart and because of the laws of thermodynamics everything up top is falling apart because of it.
We have been programmed to be sheep for the most part.
Why would anybody that had us hypnotized so deeply want to wake us up from such a very convincing sleep ?
Drake could be fake and so many others as well, but you have to admit that there is something happening all around us that is different and kind of amazing even if we dont want to admit it.
UFO's, Sashsquash, Worlds arriving, Worlds leaving, Star travelers, Mayan Prophecys, Hopi Predictions, WOrmholes, Open DImensions, Remote Viewing etc...
They might all be full of you know what, but I tend to think that there is something big happening across the universe and our earth is just a little spec of all of it.
We love to centralize ourselves in our world pretending as if the world revolves around us and Beings who come to earth should be required to check in at our consolates and ask permission before they do any testing or pick up a few stray human test subjects.
If there are any aliens on our planet, you better believe that they are the ones who are giving the orders, and not us.
We would be very ignorant to think that we are the only beings in this world who have Mc Donalds or Disney Land or COSCO's.
If we think about our existance just a tiny bit, we will find that all of the beliefs that we where taught and all of the education that we have received has actually come from someone who also did not have a clue as to what is really going on in the world, and never took a moment to try to figure out what is true and what is a lie either.
Our minds preceed our ignorance.
The only way to correct this tremendous educational error is to start to question everything from the moment that we where born right up to now.
By re educating ourselves, we can start to unravel some of the true mysteries of this world and maybe even some mysteries that we thought where not possible.
So my plea is this.
With all of the mis information that has been fed to us for thousands of years, we need to first clean out that wonderful part of our mind that says "we are wise and intelligent"
Nothing could be farther drom the truth.
I have people telling me of all of the wonderful things that mankind has invented or made and that is proof that we are so great.
As if the masses where responsible for all of these so called great accomplishments ?
Nope! I dont think so.
YEs Gary you are right about the fact that we should be thinking about if we are being jerked around again.
If I where one of those people who you think may be manipulating us to get information about our habits or who we are, save your worrying, they knew who we where from the day that we where born.
Everyone knows that sheep herders always know where their sheep are at.
DO you really think that they don't know who we are and what we already do ?
My suggestion to all of us is to completely re educate ourselves because what we have been taught from day one was all designed to keep us inside of a big giant sheep pen.
Love and high expectations from everyone that I know.
Incidentally, this mysterious "insider" going by the name of "Drake"? Of all the names he could have chosen to go by, why would he choose that name? Here's the etymology of "Drake":
From Middle English drake ("dragon; Satan; male duck, drake; gander"), Old English draca ("dragon, sea monster, huge serpent"), from Proto-Germanic *drako, from Latin dracō ("dragon"), from Ancient Greek δράκων (drakon, "serpent, giant seafish")
Just sayin'.
I'm with you, Star Flower. This isn't much different from the B.S. that various groups and individuals have been spewing for at least 20 years that I'm aware of (NESARA, anyone?). None of it ever happens. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that this stuff Fulford has been talking about, for months now, is part of some sort of well-organized disinformation campaign, a social experiment, if you will, and that Fulford has been sucked into it hook, line and sinker. In fact, now that I think about it, Fulford was a perfect dupe for such an experiment. He was a respected financial journalist based in Japan. How convenient is that?. Any conspirators behind such an experiment would view his established credibility as a major asset, the perfect voice to spread the disinformation. All they would have to do is find a way to convince him that the information they're feeding him is true.
What would be the point of such a social experiment? Hard to say. Maybe it could be a trial balloon to see what sort of reaction people would have and how many people would be attracted to it. It would be easy enough to monitor the reactions and the people via the internet. If you simply type "Ben Fulford" into a google search you get over a million and a half hits. They could use that information to draw up a profile of the people who are following Fulford's updates, who believes it, who doesn't, and who's on the fence and, more importantly, why people are taking those positions. I can imagine that sort of data could be valuable information to some group that has some nefarious agenda up their sleeves. Just sayin'.
Reg, I wholeheartedly agree that thoughts are energy, and capable of manifesting what we desire, but we must also remain honest. We cannot claim that the Japanese government has promised X amount of money that they don't have, or that the Pentagon is recommending a 72 hr emergency supply when in fact it said no such thing. That is simply telling lies. What we should be doing is reminding one another to concentrate our thoughts on economic justice, social justice, on abundance, on peace and well-being for all. I have far more than a mustard seed of faith myself, but not in lies and exaggerations. Our better world must materialize from truth, not lies, or it won't be any better than the one we're currently in.
Star Flower
Actually Star Flower, I believe that thoughts are energy, and since thought energy has been proven to be able to make many changes in our holographic world, it is easy for me to think and imagine that we are being freed from economic tyranny.
In many levels of science one must think of something first and if many join that one persons thought process and follow thru with belief, an amazing thing happens.
The thing that the first person thought of starts to come into existence because so many other people joined to help manifestation to excelerate even faster.
I will use one example to help prove my point.
2000 years ago, someone had a thought or should I say a vision.
That person told another person and they told someone else about seeing a man rise from his tomb.
Well, before anybody knew it, the story got bigger and bigger and someone wrote the story down what the first person saw.
2000 years later and hundreds of different religious denominations rising from almost nowhere we now have a planet almost over loaded from religions representing similar religous beliefs.
In fact, that one event help to fuel a seemingly endless paths to future religions with no end.
And all of this came from one person telling another person etc... until we are here now discussing and thinking about ending economic tyranny in the entire world.
Star Flower, I believe more than ever before because it is something we need to think about and discuss and pass new info back and forth until we and them and those special someones experience tremendous energy coming from everybody in the world, and maybe, just maybe, we can pull up out of the Matrix that has been built for us and flip things around to where those who ruled us with an iron fist replaces us in the Matrix.
I Believe Star Flower, and if "We have the belief the size of a mustard seed, we can move that mountain"
It is a belief and a fact and a thought and an expression that has freed people since the beginning of our time here.
All I ask of you is to believe and lets see what happens ?
Our reality is far more than we understand.
Our minds are remarkable to behold and everything everywhere is mind.
We will all be seeing this one truth in just a little while.
Bless you and ever thought that you think.
I can't believe any of you are taking this seriously. I can't believe that Ben Fulford would make that statement about the Pentagon telling us to stock up for 72hrs, and ESPECIALLY I don't believe that anyone with an IQ of 100 or above would believe that the Japanese can come up with ONE trillion yen, let alone one THOUSAND trillion! Do we have ANY Japanese people on this site? If so I hope they will step forward and re-explain the imploded economy of their homeland to us one more time. Last, and by no means least, someone extremely close to me who has Q clearance with the DOE says NOTHING unusual is coming down that anyonethere is aware of. The DOE has succeeded in recent weeks in collecting large amounts of uranium from around the world and placing it in one safe depository at the Savannah River Site in S.C. but this has been public news for at least a week or more. It is ALWAYS a good idea to have a couple of weeks worth of dried and canned foods stored, and a months supply of fresh water. The part I CAN believe is that we need to be told to stay out of the way, LOL.
If this is taking place, you can bet the media will hide it as long as they can. They've never been allowed to speak any truth of any importance to our needs. They're excellent in keeping truth and evil deeds they're doing from us. I hope this is happening and I hope it will be broadcast soon. Let us send our energy to this happening Love To All
From what I can remember about inside Pentagon info, there probably are certain people inside of the different groups of Pentagon Personel that know about all of this, but it is very unlikely if everyone at the Pentagon knows about it.
Would you tell everyone at your job about this ?
No of course not, because you don't know what lines everyone at your job is standing on.
Would you know who is an alien on your job ?
Would you know which people on your job are spys for the Banking System ?
Everybody thinks that the Pentagon is one big unified place where everybody knows everything.
Not true.
Just like in everything else in our lives, there are hundreds of different levels and categorys there also.
The only people at the Pentagon who are aware of any of this are those with a security cleareance that is very high.
The rest don't have a clue just like us.
If and when this all happens, you can bet that the only people who will know are those with a security clearance on a very strict need to know basis.
How do you think the Pentagon has been able to keep so many secrets in the past ?
Everybody here needs to think before they act.
Remember the little warning at the top of the page that says " Please do not get in our way"
That means you and I.
That message is not meant to scare you as much as it is meant to make us THINK.
It does seem as if huge things are starting to happen and I feel like it is all natural and is directly connected to our Universe.
This financial mess is just a small piece of an incredible large mess that some have been charged with to start a clean up.
It is not necessary for any of us to do anything for now but "STAY OUT OF THE WAY"
We will be notified by the correct authorities if our expertise is needed during this readjustment period.
Keep calm and read a good book or meditate or something else that will help to keep calm during this transitional period.
And for God's sake, do your own homework and search and see if any of this is really happening before you commit to anything.
It seems as though we are here now.
Cool your jets and be calm.
Rest up, because when the dust does settle, I have a feeling that there is going to be a mountain of work to get things to where they need to be for now and the future.
We may have to wait a couple of weeks to see if any of the above takes place. Sounds like it would be an answer to many of our prayers. Does cause a bit of hopfulness and a little anticipation of change coming though. Love to think that change is in the air and so close...Blessings All Remember - Anything is possible..Hugs
Let me say this Jane if the pentagon was really doing this ...my husband works for the department of defense and he hasn't come home and said, squat........

A Wilson man set fire to his ex-girlfriend's home and then stole a police car early Sunday morning, the Wilson County Sheriff's Office said.
Anthony Scott Jordan, 41, is charged with two counts each of attempted first-degree murder and larceny of a firearm, and one count each of first-degree arson, larceny of a motor vehicle and assault of a government official.
The sheriff's department said Jordan's vehicle was seen in front of a home at 127 Crawford Lane "several minutes" before officers with the Black Creek Police Department were dispatched to the home in reference to a fire.
While en route to the house fire, the officer who initially saw Jordan's car at the home was passed by the same car traveling in the opposite direction. At that time, the officer turned around and began to pursue Jordan.
After he pulled over, the officer said he noticed that Jordan smelled of kerosene, at which point the officer arrested him and placed him in the back of the patrol vehicle.
With Jordan handcuffed in the back of the cruiser, the officer returned to the suspect's vehicle to conduct a vehicle search, but Jordan was able to free himself and steal the patrol vehicle.
During the investigation, Wilson County deputies located the stolen police cruiser abandoned off of a service road located at I-795 and Alton Road. Deputies said two duty weapons were stolen from the vehicle.
"The Sheriff's Office worked tirelessly in the middle of the night until sunrise, amid chilling temperatures. We were able to locate the vehicle, obtain a substantial track and developed leads on the suspect," Wilson County Sheriff Calvin L. Woodard, Jr. said. "At this time we are considering the suspect armed and dangerous and will pursue every measure until he is located and brought to justice."
The sheriff's department said Jordan is the ex-boyfriend of the woman who lives at 127 Crawford Lane. She said she and her son were inside the home when she noticed her house was on fire around 2:41 a.m. Sunday.
Anyone with any information on the whereabouts of Jordan should contact the Wilson County Sheriff's Office at (252) 237-2118.

Rays Short Hops: Game 2
Shields, offense help Tampa Bay pull even in Fall Classic
Fielding the Rays' 4-2 win over the Phillies in Game 2 of the World Series on a short hop ...In < 25 words ...
Akinori Iwamura and B.J. Upton gave the Rays the lead in the first, and James Shields kept the Phillies guessing for most of the game. Frozen moment
The Phils had a chance to do some damage in the second, when Ryan Howard led off with a double and Pat Burrell followed with a walk. But Shields was able to set the Phillies down in order after that -- getting Shane Victorino to pop up to third, striking out Greg Dobbs and getting Pedro Feliz to line out to center. Big number
2 1/3 -- Number of innings David Price pitched to close out Game 2 on Thursday night. It was longest relief outing to finish up a World Series win since the Indians' Brian Anderson earned a three-inning save in Game 4 of the 1997 World Series. Game balls James Shields
The right-hander worked his way out of a number of jams Thursday night, ultimately turning in 5 2/3 solid innings.
Jason Bartlett
The Rays' shortstop gave his team an insurance run with a safety-squeeze bunt in the fourth inning that scored Cliff Floyd.
David Price
The young reliever was called upon in a big spot once again on Thursday night. Price struck out Howard with a runner on second base to end the Phils' seventh-inning threat. Price went on to finish the game for Tampa Bay.
When Price entered the game in the seventh, no one was warming up in Tampa Bay's bullpen. However, when the young left-hander walked his first hitter, Chase Utley, Rays reliever Grant Balfour started throwing. Price went on to strike out Howard to end the inning.
Jason Bartlett
Comment: The shortstop gave the Rays a crucial insurance run in the fourth with a safety-squeeze bunt.
James Shields
Comment: Shields did his job for 5 2/3 innings -- keeping the Phillies off the scoreboard.
"He's human, just like everybody else out there. He doesn't have super powers." -- Price, on facing Howard
Next step
The Rays will head to Philadelphia for Game 3 on Saturday night with newfound confidence after evening the series Thursday night.

The UCLA Bruins have officially announced new head coach Jim Mora, Jr., who replaces the fired Rick Neuheisel. Mora's previous head coaching experience: stints with the Atlanta Falcons and Seattle Seahawks. He's landed a five-year, $12 million deal in Westwood.
"As someone who has been around the game of football my entire life, I have always held the UCLA job in the highest esteem," said Mora. "Given its location and its tradition, UCLA is truly a sleeping giant and I realize that an opportunity of this magnitude doesn't present itself more than once in a career, so I jumped at the chance to be a Bruin."
Mora proclaimed himself a candidate for both the UCLA and Arizona State jobs a few days ago, all several years after declaring the Washington Huskies gig to be his dream job. The man likes the Pac-12, and there's nothing wrong with that. He's also the only defensive-minded coach to join the conference this time around, which has suddenly become a showcase of offensive coaches.

I don't much like allowances, which let homeowners postpone decisions that really should be made before the project even breaks ground. After all, those same choices will still have to be made once construction has started — under pressure, to keep the schedule on track. But the reality is that some clients have a lot of trouble selecting finishes — floor coverings, electrical fixtures, tile, and the like — before the house has been framed and they can visualize the interior spaces. And in today's consumer-driven marketplace, that makes allowances unavoidable.
Limit Allowance Selections
The importance of this rule should be obvious. Homeowners need to limit their allowance items to a maximum of five selections. I don't want to start a project with 15 open-ended issues hanging over me.
Use Only Regular Trade Partners
We limit allowance selections and purchases to approved subs and suppliers. Experience has taught me that I lose control of the process when I open the door to "outside" suppliers and vendors, as they tend to take their direction from the homeowners rather than following my company's policies and procedures.
To understand the problems this can cause, imagine that you've agreed to let a homeowner select carpet from a supplier you're unfamiliar with, only to find out that the chosen carpet is European, available solely in widths of 3 meters (instead of 12 feet), and a special order that won't arrive for 20 weeks. What is your warranty liability on this product? Can you trust the vendor's assurance that all seams will "disappear"? Can you live with that delivery restriction?
Quantify Allowance Choices
All prices quoted are the same ones Dixon Builders pays. I use these prices in my cost estimating the same way I use subcontractor quotes, by entering the allowance amount as a job-cost line item in the initial contract. Overhead and markup are added to the total of all job costs, not to individual line items. If the actual cost of any allowance ends up lower than the quoted cost in the contract, we refund the difference between the quoted and actual costs. We don't refund overhead, sales tax, or any part of our markup.
Explain How You'll Handle Variances
We make it clear from the beginning that when homeowners deviate from the contract and decide to upgrade the allowance selection, we add a management-processing fee of 28 percent to the extra cost. If they object to this, I point out that the upgrade will result in a more expensive finished product that we'll have to warranty.
I also tell them that if they want to avoid the allowance overage fees, they shouldn't increase allowance amounts after signing the contract.
Include an Allowance Summary
Our contracts include an allowance summary sheet (Figure 2). The summary notes each allowance, along with the dollar amount and the due date for the decision. The summary is not a substitute for the details we put in the specifications, but rather a summation of the allowance plan.
When an allowance selection is made, I document it in writing by using a standard change-order form that spells out all the facts, figures, model numbers, colors, and details of the allowance (Figure 3). The form acts as a final clarification of the selection and gives the owner a final chance to review it. I use this form even when there are no changes to the allowance amount, because it ensures that we are giving the owners exactly what they want.
This is also our last chance to resolve any open questions. Say, for example, that the owners have finalized all their plumbing fixture and finish selections, but several questions remain. Maybe they've chosen a dual-basin sink, but haven't yet specified which basin will receive the disposal. They also may still need to clarify whether the fixture is drop-in or undermount, and where they want the soap dispenser. I review these questions with the owners and note their answers on the change order as a directive, so that the job superintendent and plumber know exactly what needs to happen.
The documentation really proves its worth when the owners insist on choosing products that we recommend against. For instance, we once did a job where there was a tile allowance for the mudroom, but when the time came to choose the tile, the owners decided they wanted laminate flooring instead — even though the laminate manufacturer advised against installing the flooring in a wet area. So when we wrote the allowance settlement change order, we spelled out the potential problems and noted that we could not warranty the installation. Six months after they moved in, the owners called my office and in a stern voice asked me to replace the laminate flooring with ceramic tile. Without the limitation on the change order, this definitely would have evolved into a warranty issue that my company would have been responsible for.
Professional Touch
The most solid endorsement I can give for these procedures is the enthusiasm of my customers. Many of them have had previous experience with building or remodeling and found allowances to be a huge source of misunderstanding. They recognize that my clear-cut policies work better than a haphazard approach, and they're much more satisfied at the end of the project.
Dennis A. Dixon is a custom builder in Flagstaff, Ariz., and a regular speaker at JLC Live.
Figure 1. The author creates a separate document for each allowance that spells out the quality, quantity, and cost of the selection. The owners have a chance to make adjustments before signing off, which prevents them from claiming later that the allowance wasn't what they wanted.
Figure 2. Once the individual allowances have been finalized, the author creates a summary sheet for the owners to review before signing the final contract.
Figure 3. When the due date for a product selection arrives, the author documents each allowance decision with a change-order form. Although he uses the change order for all selections, it really earns its keep when the selection varies from the allowance summary. In this example, the owners chose a flooring material that was more expensive than the allowance amount, and that the author couldn't warranty.

Crew Cut: Hierarchy Ranks and Recruitment Frenzy
With last week's release of the all-new Social Club Crew Hierarchies feature, we've seen Crew Leaders jumping to exert their authority and assign rank amongst their mobbed up minions. Crews of all sizes and statures, from perennial top dog Founder LXG Crew down to eager upstarts like the GTA Annihilators, have been busy promoting and demoting Crew members to the positions of Commissioner, Lieutenant, Representative and Muscle. Here's a quick look at how some squads have been parlaying the feature to tighten up their ranks for this fall's planned extended holiday in Los Santos & Blaine County...
Four Leaders with an early embracing of the new Crew Hierarchy system (Clockwise from top): DutchStoner of the Ganja Outlaws, ITALIAN of Slaughterhouse, PhatGordo13 of GTAForums and ErnestoRock2 of One Bullet At A Time.
Crew Leaders, Commissioners and Lieutenants, do give a shout in comments below to share your Hierarchy strategy thus far...
The Lost NZ (LOST) Crew are another group of auteurs who are using the power of the moving image to spread the word of their squad, which you can peep here.
And while trying to find likeminded Social Club members to Crew up with here in Newswire comments is cool, some Crew leaders have learned that it helps to spread the good word on other social networks as well for results. Seems like every few minutes, there's someone on Twitter shouting out or looking for a Crew to align with. If you're lucky, we just might help you out by sharing your recruitment tweet with Rockstar followers worldwide. Such was the case for AgentP50, leader of the 182 Brotherhood (182B) Crew who we spotted and retweeted this week – taking his ranks from a relative handful of members to 132 as of press time, in less than a day. Also a shout to Inbetwixt, leader of the 657 BOYZ, whose membership has doubled in a similar case. While this will be something we'll only be doing once in a while, it's certainly advantageous to expand your recruitment message via tweets, Facebook and even Instagram posts to staff up that sick clique for GTA Online.
As we mentioned last time, EnigmaAssassin of the Ice Cold Assassins Crew (ICED) and HOT_KIMERA of the HOT CLAN Crew (HOTZ) hosted an epic 2 vs 2 Max Payne 3 free aim tournament, in which Crews had some of their top players battle it out for multiplayer bragging rights. For several weekends earlier this summer, what started as 28 Crews faced off in best-of-three 10-minute rounds of Team Deathmatch. Tietê River Docks was played in Game 1, Nova Esperança in Game 2 and, if a Game 3 was necessary, that was to be played at the São Paulo Bus Depot.
A highlight of Round 1 was the matchup between The Hardcore A Team (TEAM) Crew) and The Gallant Psychos (TGPS) Crew. In a Crew Cut one year ago, we regarded TGPS as being on the fast track to success - one month from their inception they were already in the Top 30. However impressive, those accolades meant nothing in this latest competition and TEAM dominated TGPS, winning both games, 42-18 and 38-23. With COMNADO DE ELITE (BOPE) Crew's israel-lucas leading the first round in kills, one could say their squad were the favorites against the Rock Heart (SEXY) Crew in Round 2. Instead, SEXY blanked 'em, 43-25 and 41-33.
The final eight (clockwise from top left): TOP GUN PL4Y3RS, FOXHOUND UNIT, GOLD LIONS, Rock Heart, CAP PILLAS, Master of Weapons, ineffable arts and Sub-Zero Killaz.
Round 3 saw the FOXHOUND UNIT (UNIT) and Master of Weapons (SAMA) Crews take each other on in arguably the most intense match of the entire tournament. SAMA flourished first, winning the first game 25-21. Game 2 was tight to the very last second, UNIT taking the lead to win 25-24. After that, UNIT - never looking back - bounced SAMA right out of contention in Game 3, 41-29. The GOLD LIONS (LION) Crew had been solid throughout the tournament and the semi-finals were no different. Up against SAMA, LION won Game 1 by 25-20 and Game 2 by 38-28. While the ineffable arts (RED7) Crew won their matchup against SEXY 2-0, it was a close one: Game 1 was decided in the final moments 27-26 and Game 2's tally was 39-32.
After a month of battle after battle after battle, RED7 and LION were to face each other in the finals for living legend status. From the start, both Crews made it very clear they earned the right to be on the big stage. The squads spent Game 1 trading kills, never letting more than a few points between them. RED7 took it 34-31 - just one win away from victory. With a seven point lead and around four minutes to go in Game 2, it looked like things were coming to an end. And then, in what could be considered the pivotal point of the finals, LION's Alex_silent stepped up, helping to reverse the lead and secure a 38-27 win. In a Game 3 do or die, LION turned things up a notch and stomped on RED7 55-30. 28 Crews entered, one Crew left - props to the GOLD LIONS for being the last squad standing - we definitely recommend checking out the highlights here.
- on September 10 2013, 12:18pmHi all, now that we're within a week of game release, there's bound to be some inevitable game info and asset leaks.

Anyone posting about leaked assets or info will have their comment removed and repeat offenders will have their commenting privileges revoked. We want to ensure everyone who comes here between now and game release can feel free to chat about the game without having anything spoiled for them. Thank you all for understanding.

Welcome! Based on your situation, you need a kidney and may not have a living donor. You have two basic options: (1) get a deceased donor transplant, or (2) find a living donor by conducting a living donor search. We suggest you do both.
Although the wait time for deceased donor kidneys is reported to be long and getting longer, there are transplant centers in the United States where median wait times are less than a third of the national average. If you are listed at one of these transplant centers that has a short wait list, you will significantly increase your odds of getting a deceased donor kidney quickly. Keep in mind that you can be listed at more than one transplant center. Also, some people list at transplant centers that are hundreds and even thousands of miles from their homes in an effort to get the fastest and best possible outcome.
For wait time information at transplant centers, go to the website of the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients www.ustransplant.org/csr/current/csrDefault.aspx. On this site, click on the state you want, click on "Kidney Centers," and then select the transplant center you want to view. At the top of this page, use the drop-down menu to select report 06 "Time to Transplant, Waitlist Patients." This report will show you the median time to transplant for the selected center compared against that region and the entire United States. This is important information to know when you are deciding where to list.
Another good source of wait list information is the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network www.optn.org/latestData/step2.asp. Sometimes you can find transplant centers that are located less than an hour's driving distance apart where one of the centers has a significantly shorter wait time than the other.
In addition to pursuing a deceased donor transplant, you may also want to conduct a living donor search. Below are some helpful tips that will improve your donor search results.

The Love 146 Club is a charter of the Love 146 organization, based out of Connecticut. Love 146 was founded in order to abolish child sex slavery and exploitation.
The Statistics:
Human trafficking generates approximately $32 billion each year, making it the second most lucrative crime in the world.
27 million people are enslaved today.
Two children are sold each minute.
Over 1.2 million of today's enslaved population are children.
In the U.S. alone, more than 100,000 children are forced into prostitution or pornography every year.
So many are being sold, but each one is still a child and each one deserves a second chance. To learn more about our cause visit: love146.org.

Can you be skinny and fat at the same time? Experts say you can and it may be putting your life at risk for life-threatening diseases. Being slender may not be all it's cracked up to be.
"You can't tell by looking at someone how healthy they are and, in fact, your scale is not a very good indication of your health. It gives only one piece of information, not the overall picture of your health," explains Dr. Susan Albers of the Cleveland Clinic.
That's because there's a growing trend of people who suffer from skinny-fat syndrome – they may look thin, but have a high percentage of body fat. That number on the scale, even if it's in a normal or slightly underweight range, doesn't tell if you have excess body fat.
Many skinny-fat people wreak havoc on their bodies by not watching what they eat or not exercising, or both. With skinny-fat people, fat tends to hide around vital organs, especially in the abdominal area. This visceral fat is responsible for diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and other major health issues.
To see if you are at risk for certain conditions, Dr. Albers suggests getting blood work done.
"It can tell you if you're exercising, if you're getting enough nutrition, your vitamins, your minerals. If you're getting enough sleep, your stress level. Blood work gives you a great first start in getting the overall picture of your health," she says.
A blood test can reveal your cholesterol, potassium and glucose levels. And if you are carrying a few extra pounds, you may also consider getting your body fat checked by a professional who can conduct skin fold measurements.
Trimming down your fat not only cuts your chances of developing serious health issues, but also may help you feel and look great, both inside and out.

The Match-Up
Faber and Jorgensen are top-of-the-food-chain bantamweights, so it's somewhat rare to see such a wide gap in the betting lines between fighter's of fairly equal status -- but there's a good reason for that; several, in fact.
The most glaring basis is that Jorgensen's destiny is almost entirely predicated on enforcing his wrestling acumen. Generally, if he can, he wins, and his chances not only plummet when he cannot, but Jorgensen seems to shut down a little when forced to rely on his average striking skills.
To magnify that aspect: the key to imposing his wrestling is the manner in which Jorgensen shrinks the gap and sets up his shots. The importance of this factor is heightened drastically by the fact that Faber will undoubtedly will be well aware and fully prepared for this course of action, as Jorgensen's core competency and Achilles Heel is quite apparent. In plain terms, it's no walk in the park for multidimensional bantamweights to set up and secure takedowns on the fleet footed Faber, so Jorgensen's pathways to victory are extremely predictable and altogether limited.
Jorgensen has definitely evolved throughout his years in the trenches, tightening up his striking defense and form while spearing out a busy jab to control distance and camouflage his entries. However, even by complementing his takedown set-ups with the jab, Jorgensen's M.O. is still a bit clunky and foreseeable. "Young Guns" is a deceivingly strong 135er with exceptional balance and athleticism, and his rock-solid center of gravity makes him one of the most physically imposing wrestlers in the division. Jorgensen achieves this by having his feet rooted firmly to the canvas in a somewhat crouched stance, but the trade-off is that his footwork and motion suffers.
When Jorgensen comes in with a prodding jab from out on the fringe while looking to dash into close quarters to clinch or drop levels for a takedown, he generally moves forward in a straight line and stays heavy on his feet, particularly on his lead foot. His broad-built stature does him no favors from a distance either, as his 66" reach makes the issue of getting inside that much more difficult.
Faber will have a 3" reach advantage, which isn't monumental alone -- but when combined with his exemplary cage motion, intelligence, superior striking and full awareness of Jorgensen's intentions, I expect Urijah to be significantly resistant to Jorgensen's takedowns and clinch entries.
Though Faber has a definitive boxing advantage, he does still keep his hands -- especially his left -- dangerously low in the heat of conflict, or just lets them stray too far from his chin amidst engagements. Jorgensen isn't as polished or technical as Faber on the feet, but the man hits like a truck and his straight right might be just as important as his jab in this encounter, especially if he can dupe Faber into dropping his hands by faking a takedown attempt on the way in.
In a head-to-head collision, Jorgensen will have the edge with raw power -- both in the thump of his strikes and the efficacy of his clinching and wrestling -- but Faber is a phenomenal scrambler and one of the phase-shifters in the game; meaning he can seamlessly transition between striking, clinching and grappling, whereas Jorgensen is a tad cumbrous when cycling between striking and wrestling. Faber has no glaring weaknesses and a stable guard, but the worst possible position to be in against Jorgensen is underneath him on the ground, where the Pac-10 wrestling champ's base is suffocating and his ground-and-pound is flat-out devastating.
The Prediction
On paper, this is all Faber. Since winning a shootout on the feet is highly unlikely for Jorgensen, Faber will have painstakingly scrutinized Jorgensen's entries and should be prepared to avoid being cornered, backed up in a straight line or falling for Jorgensen's jab-heavy set ups. Faber's hefty advantages in almost every other category offer a multitude of options for him, while Jorgensen just kind of has the one. Barring Jorgensen rolling out a whole new arsenal of tricks to close the distance, Faber should be able to keep himself out of the clinch or phone-booth range and wreak havoc with his hands from outside.
Range should have the largest influence on the outcome: Jorgensen is at his best in contact range, where his massive punching power is a looming threat and he can overpower his foes by digging in underhooks and steering them around the cage at will. In the Free-Movement Phase, Faber simply shines -- the angles and pivots with his footwork are ever-changing, making his crisp boxing difficult to predict and defend. Faber also has the luxury of throwing some surprises at Jorgensen, especially if he gets frustrated and starts to chase Faber: such as vaulting forward with vicious strikes after setting the tone with elusive footwork (ala Lyoto Machida) or even springing for a double-leg on Jorgensen if he closes distance too aggressively. Overall, Faber's diversity endows him with more weapons and options, while Jorgensen's chances (and maybe spirit?) greatly diminish if he can't dominate with wrestling.
Urijah Faber by decision.

Hundreds turn out for Declan Mongey's funeral
12:50pm Friday 18th January 2013 in News By Ben Parsons
Hundreds of people gathered for the funeral of a pub landlord.
Mourners packed St Margaret's Church in Rottingdean yesterday (January 17) to bid farewell to Declan Mongey of The Plough Inn in Vicarage Lane.
The 43-year-old was found dead on the shore near Saltdean Lido on December 29. He is believed to have committed suicide.
Father Martin Morgan told a congregation of about 200 people: "This is a tragic day for us, that somebody was driven to where Declan was driven.
"We need to say not that we are angry about that. We need to say what an incredible guy he was.
"We have to celebrate Declan's uniqueness, to celebrate his life. If you were around Declan a laugh was never far away."
He said the charity fundraising Declan had spearheaded at the pub had changed the lives of young people.
The pub won an Argus Achievement Award last year after raising £18,000 for causes, including Help for Heroes and the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Mr Mongey set out to create a community feel at The Plough, backing events like Smugglers Night and the Rottingdean Boxing Day Pub Challenge.
Karl Baker, Declan's partner, said they were planning to have a civil partnership ceremony on November 11.
They had been together for 14 years, moving to Rottingdean three years ago.
He said: "He made so many friends here, I know he would be overwhelmed by the love and support they have shown.
"His youthful enthusiasm was infectious and his love of life knew no bounds."
Mr Mongey was found dead three days after a Boxing Day fight at the pub. Police had arrested and bailed him over claims a 52-year-old woman broke her arm when she was punched and pushed.
Friends said he was innocent but was worried about the allegation.
The Brighton and Hove Coroner is expected to hold an inquest on March 27.

Here we present the plant and software products of our collection of Clivia miniata, gardenii, robusta, and interspecifics. Examine our offerings and enjoy your visit.
"Clivias are undeniably aristocrats of horticulture. They are classed among the most desirable of all connoisseur plants, offering not only spectacular flowers, but also interesting variations in both leaf varigation and plant form....The name Clivia is pronounced 'klive-ee-ah' and it describes a genus of southern African plants belonging to the family Amaryllidaceae that are named in honor of Lady Charlotte Florentia Clive." From Clivias by Harold Koopowitz.
Clivia gardenii is one of six Clivia species. Gardenii Clivias are characterized by pendulous and tubular flowers appearing in the fall. In 2013 from mid-October until almost Christmas, our indoor garden of Clivia gardenii were in full bloom. Many bloomed two or three times during that period. Presented here are photos of some of the terrific gardenii blossoms captured then.
Colorado Clivia Company is the home to a collection of Clivia, a plant native to South Africa. Most of this collection includes very special genetic characteristics. We are always on the lookout for smaller more compact plants, wider leaves, fuller umbels, larger blossoms, and unusual colors within the six Clivia species. Each year we take special care to add new and interesting items to our collection, many imported from South Africa and other countries. And using the collection we periodically produce seeds, seedlings, and plants so we can share the exciting things we have found or developed. We would encourage all to go to Our Store to view our current offerings.
We have developed and sell Clivia Access. Clivia Access is a personal computer software program designed to assist growers, breeders, and collectors of Clivia and other rare plants in their efforts. Our Store has permanent and free evaluation versions of Clivia Access. We use the software, and like other users find it very supportive of our collection efforts.
Our collection of almost 2000 plants is housed in a commercial greenhouse located in the western suburbs of Denver, Colorado. Here we enjoy a climate with over 300 sunny days per year, and because of our mile high ground elevation, a brighter, more intense sunlight than found in many parts of the United States. Our greenhouse is generally not open to the public, but if you via email, we would be happy to arrange a special tour.

Sagada Hanging Coffins
The World > Asia > Philippines
Sagada is a 5th class municipality in the province of Mountain province, Philippines According to the latest census, it has a population of 10,930 people in 2,158 households. It is located 275 km. north of Manila 140 km. from Baguio, and it is adjacent to Bontoc, the provincial capital. Sagada is famous for its "hanging coffins". This was a traditional way of burying people that is not utilized anymore. Not anyone was qualified to be buried this way; one had to, among other things, be married and have grandchildren. Popular activities include trekking, exploring both caves and waterfalls, spelunking, bonfires, picnics, rappelling, visiting historical sites, nature hikes, and participating in tribal celebrations. Guides can be found upon registration at the tourist-office in Sagada Proper (the main town) for a small fee.

The Philippines are an archipelago of more than seven thousand islands off the southeast coast of Asia. Only half of these islands have been named and roughly one thousand are inhabited. Look at how beautiful they are! People first arrived here from the mainland around 25,000 B.C. by crossing a land bridge which existed at the time.
The name comes from Ferdinand Magellan of Portugal, who explored the Philippines in 1521. He claimed them in service of Spain, naming them after Prince Philip. Spain controlled the Philippines for the next 350 years until the Philippine Revolution of 1896.
Here's a picture of Fort Santiago, where the national hero Jose Rizal was imprisoned prior to his execution. He was a poet and novelist who supported peaceful reform, rather than violent revolution, against the Spanish government.
This is one of poems in which he describes the creation of the world, as a gift to his mother:
"Say they that tell of the world, the first dawn of the sun, the first kiss that his bosom inflamed, when thousands of beings surged out of nothing, and peopled the depths, and to the heights mounted, to wherever his fecund kiss was implanted"
Violent revolution broke out anyway and the Philippines changed hands from Spanish, to American, to Japanese control over the next fifty years. Following World War Two they finally became an independent republic.
Back to the beautiful ocean! You can dream about the Cafe Del Mar resort next time you find your screen saver kicking in when you're still sitting at the desk staring blankly. There's a series of DJ mixes with this title but I don't know if it refers to the same place. I would not be surprised.

In what's become a season-long trend, the Dallas Mavericks came out flat without Lamar Odom in the line-up in an embarrassing 94-75 home loss to the LA Clippers.↵
The team's record is now 0-7 without the mercurial power forward in the line-up and it's not a coincidence.
While everyone has made great hay out of blaming Odom for the Mavericks troubles this season, which have far more to do with the decision to let Tyson Chandler walk in free agency, he's performed about as well as should have been expected too, given that he's playing completely out of position in Dallas.↵
Odom, at 6'10 230, gives the Mavericks much needed play-making and athleticism at the backup forward positions. Without him, Dallas options in backing up Dirk and Shawn Marion is ... Brian Cardinal.↵
With him, Dallas has one of the most dangerous second units in the NBA, as his presence on the floor greatly helps players like Brandan Wright and Rodrigue Beaubois.
