Senate Reveals Redistricting MapBy Jeffrey Hess | Published 01 May 2012 08:13pm |
Mississippi Senators are expected to vote today on newly redrawn voting lines for their 52 senate seats. MPB's Jeffrey Hess reports that Senators will vote just one day after the maps were made public.
Senate Redistricting Chairman Merle Flowers of Southaven revealed the new redistricting map during a series of committee meetings yesterday.
The lines have to be redrawn every ten years to account for population shifts, and Flowers says he was able to add a district rapidly growing DeSoto County without collapsing districts in the delta.
"The delta in general lost 30,000 folks but we felt it strongly to protect the six districts in the delta for minorities for retrogression purposes and that just takes time," Flowers said.
Flowers says the map adds two majority black districts to bring the total to 15, including a new district in the Hattiesburg area.
The U-S Justice Department has to review any maps the legislature approves to make sure they are fair to minorities.
Senator Kenny Wayne-Jones of Canton, the newly elected chairman of the legislative black Caucus, says the increase in black districts is a positive move.
"It is going to be very, very hard for Senators to vote against the map that are African-American because the map is as fair as it can be. plus it picks up some more majority districts that we should have done last year, it does it this time. So I don't think the Justice Department is going to have a problem with the Senate map," Wayne-Jones said.
Under this plan, two incumbents would have to face off if they choose to run for re-election, Democratic Senators Bill Stone and Nickey Browning.
Browning says he is disappointed that his district changed so much.
"I don't feel targeted. I am disappointed of course, because I was hoping I would keep more of Pontatoc County than I did and I didn't. So I have got to make the best of what I have got," Browning said.
The Senate is expected to vote on the new map today.
It will also have to approve a plan for all 122 House districts that passed that chamber last week.
The House will also get a chance to review the senate plan before both are sent to the Justice Department for review.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Mark Sanchez or Geno Smith? Rex Ryan is in no rush to decide.
So, for those expecting the New York Jets to figure out their quarterback situation by the end of next week's minicamp, you'll have to wait a while longer.
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Mark Sanchez or Geno Smith? Rex Ryan is in no rush to decide.
So, for those expecting the New York Jets to figure out their quarterback situation by the end of next week's minicamp, you'll have to wait a while longer.
"I don't think we're close to that right now," Ryan said Wednesday after the team's final session of organized team activities open to the media.
"Obviously, the process is, I don't have to make that move," Ryan added. "Until we feel 100 percent comfortable with that decision, then we'll just leave it to the competition."
Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg recently suggested he hoped a front-runner would emerge early, but Ryan is content with letting it play out into training camp, which begins in late-July. Sanchez is the incumbent trying to revive his career, and Smith is the hotshot rookie who many believe is the future of the franchise.
"It's way too early to say," Ryan said. "Some days, this guy looks good, and some days this guy looks good."
The Jets have insisted the quarterback competition is open to all quarterbacks on the roster, including Greg McElroy and Matt Simms. But the reality, of course, is that it will come down to Sanchez or Smith, especially with David Garrard having recently retired.
Sanchez has taken the majority of first-team snaps during sessions open to the media, but Ryan said Smith has worked with the starting offense at times throughout the other OTAs. But neither has separated himself in the competition at this point — or at least enough for Ryan to determine who will be under center when the Jets open the regular season at home against Tampa Bay on Sept. 8.
"For me to make the decision, to say the competition is over, it's going to have to be 100 percent clear to me," Ryan said. "And if it's not, then we're going to keep competing until whenever."
And, whenever could be sometime in August, up in Cortland, N.Y., where the Jets hold training camp.
"It's nothing big or scary," Sanchez said of the competition. "I'm just being myself and doing my very best — and that'll be good enough."
Both quarterbacks struggled Wednesday with several wide receivers out nursing injuries. That has led to some lack of rhythm between quarterback and wide receiver.
Santonio Holmes, out since early last season with a foot injury, is still rehabilitating and Ryan indicated that there's a chance he could start training camp on the physically unable to perform list. Stephen Hill, coming off an injury-filled rookie season, sat out with fluid and swelling in his surgically repaired knee after diving for a pass in a previous practice.
Jeremy Kerley had what Ryan called a "heel issue," while Clyde Gates tweaked a hamstring. That means undrafted free agents such as Joseph Collins, Zach Rogers, Thomas Mayo and Vidal Hazelton — guys who might not make the team out of training camp — have been the primary targets lately for Sanchez and Smith.

Ryobi 12" Benchtop Drill Press Hot
Product Info
Editor review
Last updated: January 21, 2012
Top 500 Reviewer - View all my reviews
Variable speed, digital readout, laser crosshair
The DP121L sports big-machine features (variable speed, digital speed display, and a reliable laser crosshair that never needs batteries) at a benchtop drill-press price. It has the best table for clamping with an adjustable tilting scale, and the price includes a work-holding vise. Only one thing stood between the DP121L and our Top Tool award: Its depth stop slipped the most in our testing. If you don't do much multiple-hole drilling, though, get this machine.

Falcons receiver Julio Jones has left Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals with an ankle injury.
Jones missed practice this week after he sprained his right ankle in last week's loss at New Orleans. He appeared to aggravate the injury late in the third quarter.
The Falcons say Jones' status is questionable for the remainder of the game.
Cornerback Asante Samuel, who left the game in the first quarter with a right shoulder injury, did not return.
Samuel was hurt when making a hit on Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald as Fitzgerald was trying to make a catch in the first quarter. The pass from John Skelton was incomplete.
Samuel walked off the field holding his right arm to his side.

September 29, 2013
When the California prisoner hunger strike began, CDCR officials were repeatedly quoted telling the world that CDCR does not negotiate with prisoners. CDCR portrays the organizers as gang leaders – terrorists whose demands are unworthy of consideration. But on Thursday, Aug. 15, 2013, the warden at Calipatria State Prison did negotiate with prisoners in the Administration Segregation Unit.
December 28, 2012
It has been more than 13 months since we agreed to suspend our non-violent, peaceful protest hunger strike actions in response to CDCR's top administrators' admissions that all of our Five Core Demands were reasonable and would be responded to via substantively meaningful changes to the policies and practices at issue. This has NOT HAPPENED.

473 mL can, chilled and poured into my trusty Ironspike pilsner glass. (After their rebranding, cool can though)
Best before: December.1/2011
Appearance- Pours a light amber colour with two fingers of soapy white head that very quickly dissipates to a thin ring around the glass, which leaves below average lacing throughout till finish.
Smell- Not a whole lot going on in the nose although I am getting a sweet aroma coming from this one right off the bat, and lots of bready malts in there as well. Other than that the nose is rather subdued.
Taste- Lots and lots of bready malts going on in the tastes as well, some sweetness in there as well but mainly bready malts.
Mouthfeel- Light to medium bodied with almost below average carbonation, for a cream ale it is definitely not very creamy, although it is nice to drink on a hot summer day.
Overall- This is a beer for the person who is just getting into craft beers, the one who is used to drinking BMC all day because this is not far off from an adjunct lager or something along those lines, this beer does not really have a whole lot going on in any aspect. The smells are muted although a lot better than the taste, and speaking of the tastes they are so one dimensional and boring this beer just screams fail. Personally didn't enjoy it but I'll chalk that one up to having my taste buds spoiled by amazing American craft.

On tap at a beer launch at the University of Waterloo Grad House.
Pours a light copper, with a half-inch head. Good amount of lacing, decent retention.
Smell was a bit boring, a bit of malts and toffee-breadiness. Not much going on here.
Tastes like a standard pale ale, with the creaminess smoothing out the finish. Malty up front, a bit of pear, caramel and bread. Bitter finish. Not bad, but a bit washed out.
Mouthfeel was slightly over-carbonated, a bit stingy. Typical body.
All in all, a decent cream ale, which is normally not a style I'm terribly fond of. Not something I'll purchase too often, but never something to turn down. Very sessionable.

Recommended to me by a native Bracebridger (?) I met a few nights ago, as the beer you buy by the pallet for a Saturday night shindig, to appeal to the discerning masses, apparently...
This beer appears a clear light orange amber hue, with one skinny finger of wispy white head, which leaves a decent ebbing ring of lace as it duly recedes.
It smells of biscuit malt, and orange rind bitterness. The taste is light white cracker grain, a twinge of creme caramel, and moderately zingy earthy citrus hops.
The carbonation is quite mild, but no pushover either, the body creamy, well smooth, and medium full in weight. It finishes off-dry, the soft graininess and persistent hops doing well to tango to the end.
An inoffensive easy-drinking session ale, with a pleasing hop kick, to boot, in the Ontario tradition of mild English-style ales, awakened to the possibilities inherent in New World hops.

Clear amber/orange body. Has a solid two finger white head with decent retention. Nice lacing. I expected this beer to be paler than this, the colour is a pleasant surprise.
Sweet grain, biscuit, toast, and caramel aromas are all present. There's a faint grassy scent lurking around the edges.
Tastes the way it smells. Caramel. A little toasty. Slightly buttery as well. Grassy hops in the background. It's a little bit sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. Very mild bitterness in the finish. As it warms, the toasted bread comes out a bit more, and some fruit flavour develops.
Light bodied and spritzy, a little bit on the watery side. A thirst quencher for a hot summers day.

An average beer, but likely reformulated since these early reviews. Smell originally malty and fruity, then plain after warming up to room temperature. Short lived head. Creamy and malty, with a spot of fruit. OK with dinner at the end of a summer day.

A - clear light copper and extremely bubbly to the point of being ridiculous, as such the head was huge and would not go anywhere
S - some grainy and adjunct aromas, mild leafiness, fairly basic here
T - grain and adjunct with a grassy and metallic hop flavour similar to saaz
M - started very carbonated but got flat as it fizzed itself out, somewhat thin and slightly dry
O - its close to average but has just enough flavour to keep it semi interesting, i might not buy a 6 pack of this but not problem having it included as part of a mixer, would also make a decent option on tap

355 ml bottle.
Pours golden with a fingers worth of light foamy cream head. Nose is pale malts and a bit of creamsicle. Taste is similiar; lager esque with the pale malt and grassyness. Little bit of creamsicle flavour I'm the middle. Body is light to medium. Dry in the middle.
Overall, not a bad revisit but nothing outstanding. This brewery shines with their newer Mad Tom ipa and the seasonal releases. This beer was one of the original lineup mediorce beers they produced before stepping up the craft experiments recently.

I think Muskoka is one of the better Breweries here in Ontario, however I do find they still make "standard" beers that the average Canadian Enjoys, nevertheless, i like to try their beer to see if something stands out or is interesting...
The cream ale pours a slightly hazy light copper with a small, minor head. The nose is subtle, nothing really obvious.. Maby a touch of malt but thats it. Very gentle.
Taste is nice, warming and smooth. Very subtle lemony hops with a fruity bite. Mild "cream" in there as the mouthfeel is light but smooth.
Overall, easy drinking, mildly flavorfull. WOuld be easy to drink a bunch of these but certainly nothing profound in the beer world!

Last can from the OCB Discovery Pack #3.
Pours clear and amber in colour, covered completely by a thin off-white head. Retention is not too good, fading quickly to a ring around the glass. No lacing.
On the nose: caramel malt, yeast, bread, bit of citrusy hops. Not too shabby.
Caramel malt, some butteriness, nice hop profile. No complexity, just a pleasant clean and fresh taste. Decently balanced. The finish is slightly dry and quite wheaty. A little more watery than I'd like.
The mouthfeel is good and I'd rate it 4.0 if it weren't a cream ale. Good feel for a beer, but too thin as a cream ale. Solid medium body and moderate carbonation.
This is a drinkable beer, no troubles here. I don't know how much this comes off as a cream ale. It's more like a pretty decent pale ale leaning towards being a cream ale, though it would probably be quite nice on nitro-tap. I'd be happy to find this on tap somewhere. Quite similar to the other OCB offerings, fairly well-brewed but lacking in character. Nothing wrong with it, just pretty uninteresting. Hopefully these beers converted some Molson, Labatt and Sleeman fans away from macro swill and onto some fresh, local, decently made brews like these. All were better than their big-brewery counterparts.

Purchased at the LCBO for $2.85 473ml can. Served at 5deg C in a draught glass
A- Pretty good. Opens well, pours dark amber with no head after 20sec
S- Pretty good. Very light. A bit of caramel and malt
T- Ok. Not very good. Ok cream ale with a touch of malt
M- Pretty good. Dry
O- Alright. Will not buy in a can or bottle but will try on tap if I see it
Food Pairing
This ok cream ale went well with... Pulled pork sandwiches- no BBQ sauce as that stuff is soooo gross

A- Pours a light copper color, and is very clear. The head is not overly thick and settles to a thick-ish film that is white in color. There's lots of bubbly goodness rising to the top. Lacing is modest and on the thin side. Not a bad looking beer, just nothing to write home about.
S- Overall, a bland smelling ale. On the front of the nose is some sweet malt, that reminds me of caramel. No hops to speak of and not much else to note here.
T- Actually, this is pleasant on the palate, if not a little underwhelming....it is sweet and malty, maybe with a little bit of fruitiness hiding in the background. It has a hint of banana to be exact. The finish is very modestly hopped. It isn't offensive or anything, just a little easy going for this style IMO.
M- A nice buttery texture glides over the palate, as it should with this style. The carbonation is a little zingy but fine enough that it doesn't last long. The body is medium-ish. Nice overall.
D- This wouldn't be hard honestly to make a go to beer for something reasonably light, not overpowering flavor wise, nor carbonation wise. This would be a very good example of a starter ale for someone trying to expand out of macro lager! I'll probably pick this up again sometime.

S - barley malt, floral and earthy hops, some fruit
T - caramel - some pine and floral hops, popcorn, bitter citrus (hint)
M - slightly bitter with a creamy medium bodied mouthfeel - light carbonation

Appearance. Pours a clear amber-gold with two fingers of thick and creamy head that lasts a while.
Smell. Roasted grains, bitter grassy-floral hops.
Taste. Toasted light grains and a little bit of caramel, some grassy hops and honey and just a bit of citrus.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with medium, bubbly carbonation.
Overall. Better than the popular cream ales I've tried from my province.

This is one of my go-to easy drinking beers. Finally got around to reviewing it. Poured in to tulip glass.
A - Medium orange colour with yellow and ruby glow around the edges. Half a finger of white head formed and quickly receded to a ring around the edges of the glass.
S - Sweet caramel malts with a touch of toffee balanced by a floral hop aroma.
T - Follows the nose. Floral and earthy hops with a crisp bitterness balanced by a sweet caramel malt backbone. Very easy drinking while still having good flavour. Not getting the cascade hops at all (as advertised on the label).
M - Light to medium body with a slight chew. Moderate carbonation.
O - A very enjoyable easy drinking session beer.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
With the crux right off the ground and a much easier slab above, this is defintitely not a destination climb, but fun enough, and a good approach for Left Out. Good cams below the roof, a good RP or equivalent in a horizontal slot above the roof, and optional microcams above the roof provide good pro. The crux move was harder than I expected. The good handholds are just above the lip, with worse holds above. You have to rock onto a small knob at the lip with your hands low. After that it's fun pockety slab climbing, mostly very easy with a couple of harder moves, 5.6 or so. The climb ends at the big ledge halfway up the west face. From here there are various choices including West Overhang, the top pitch of Lemmings, Left Out, or, by following the ledge down around onto the south side, Metamorphosis or Disguise.
For the crux: micro and small cams to 0.75 Camalot plus medium brass nut or equivalent. For the easier slab above, a light set of nuts and single or double cams to #3 Camalot, depending on how far you want to run it out.

The legal status of Muslim women, especially in family relations, has been the subject of considerable international academic and media interest. This Article examines the legal regulation of divorce in Pakistan, with particular attention to the impact of the nation's dual constitutional commitments to gender equality and Islamic law. It identifies the right to marital freedom as a constitutional right in Pakistan and demonstrates that in a country in which women's rights are notoriously and brutally violated, female divorce rights stand as a ray of light amidst the "darkness" of the general legal status of Pakistani women. Contrary to the conventional wisdom construing Islamic law as opposed to women's rights, the constitutionalization of Islam in Pakistan has proven to be a potent tool in the service of women's interests. Ultimately, I hope that this Article may serve as a model for the utilization of both Islamic and constitutional law to benefit women throughout the Muslim world.View Full Article (PDF)

Where do I shop?
I have gotten a few questions on where I shop? But I'd also give info n some of my favorite adorable designers I also admire. For good jeans in men's I only shop at either asos.com or Pac Sun. They fit me nice and they have amazing prices.
For handbags and jewelry, I mix high end with low end, from forever 21, asos.com, Tory Burch and Michael Kors. But I would recommend buying from Tory Burch! I just love her designs but then again I love Mr. Kors too! They are both huge role models in my life that I look to for inspiration.
I also love Zara for their amazing shoes, wonderful high heels. I also love Nasty Gal and Love Culture for some nice easy going outfits, but highly favored of course would have to be Asos.com.

Heating costs for the coming winter are expected to cost Illinois homeowners 13 percent more than last year, but a consumer advocacy group says utility companies offer $37 million in savings.
On Monday, the Citizens Utility Board announced that these programs are provided by utility companies like Ameren, which provides electricity and natural gas services throughout the metro-east area, and will be important in the face of higher energy costs. CUB spokesman Patrick Deignan said according to the federal Energy Information Administration, Illinois families spend more than $2,000 a year on energy, 2 percent above the national average.
"Nobody can control the weather, but we can get a handle on our utility bills, and energy efficiency is the best tool to do that," Deignan said. "Actually last year, bills were a bit lower than normal. So a 13 percent increase over last year is actually close to on par with some of our winters over the last five years. We did have a pretty mild winter last year."
He said that these money-saving programs do not require consumers make extreme changes. These changes range from buying inexpensive energy-efficient light bulbs to taking advantage of $1,000 rebates for heating and cooling equipment.
Deignan also said that almost a third of Illinoisans own a second refrigerator, which can consume a large amounts of energy. Ameren has a program that will help homeowners dispose of their second refrigerator for $50. The utility company also provides home energy audits for $49.
"CUB wants to smash myths about energy efficiency," he said. "Using these programs proves that efficiency doesn't involve sacrifice and doesn't have to be difficult. Efficiency has always been about keeping your home comfortable by using less energy. It's not about forcing people to make drastic lifestyle changes, like wearing your winter coat to bed. The program involves simple steps that homeowners can take to cut their bills."

Marco Rubio Gives the Weekly GOP Address
by Charles Lemos, Sat Aug 28, 2010 at 03:35:50 PM EDT
"Today the American Dream is threatened by out of control politicians in Washington, who think that more government deficit spending is what it takes to grow our economy. That has never worked anywhere it's been tried and it won't work now. Now for some it may be hard to imagine that the American Dream could actually be at risk, but as the son of exiles I know firsthand that it is possible to lose your country because my parents lost theirs."
This should concern you. This guy harbors presidential ambitions and for a party that's been looking for the next Ronald Reagan for the last 30 years, they have found him. If Rubio is elected to the Senate from Florida this November, not only does that catapult Jim DeMint into a leadership position of their side of the aisle, it all but secures that Marco Rubio will be on everybody's shortlist come 2012 for the VP slot on the GOP ticket.
Unlike the other first-time GOP candidates running for the Senate, Rubio is infinitely more polished but every bit as dangerous. The narrative they are spinning that this economy is Obama's fault is laughable when Sarah Palin opens her mouth but when it is Rubio speaking, it is a whole different matter. Whether we like it or not, we have to admit that the Democrats are losing the messaging on the economy.
Marco Rubio is a unique blend that combines red-meat starve the beast fiscal conservatism with dashes of let's bomb Iran neo-conservatism and flavored just enough with the religious-based bigotry to appeal to social conservatives. Not only can he appeal to Hispanics but he can appeal to independents because he sounds sane even though he is a Jim DeMint clone. Defeating Marco Rubio is priority one.

The Cs- A great training ground for rookies.
That'll probably get a lot of laughs from Cs fans, considering that a lot of rookies have come and gone over the past few seasons, with the majority of them having had very little playing time.
Many Cs fans may consider it to be a graveyard for rookies, as Doc Rivers tends to utilize rooks in game situations as little as possible, unless absolutely necessary [ such as these past weeks, owing to the incredible string of injuries ].
I look at it this way: There are a handful of teams in the NBA, the Celtics being one of them, San Antonio another, e.g., that have a] a team mentality, and b] the personnel to back it up, that is to say, a core of established stars and super stars, who the rookies get to learn from, and gain invaluable advice and experience in practice.
These are the teams that are able to bring their rookies along slowly, allowing them to go through a learning curve.
Many of the other teams, who don't have that type of leadership, are literally forced to throw their rookies into a sink or swim situation [ a majority of those teams are losing teams, with few available options ].
Of course, the draft has a lot to do with that premise, as a handful of rookies come into the NBA who are ready to become stars, literally from the beginning of their careers [ Larry Bird - Celtics ; Tim Duncan- San Antonio e.g. ] and become franchise players.
However, those are the exception to the rule. A majority of draftees require a learning curve, and it is on teams like the Celtics and San Antonio today, who have a group of established stars, who are able to take the time and bring along the rookies, [ or get rid of them, if it becomes obvious that they have no future with the team ] until such time as they're able to prove themselves in the heat of battle.
Take Semih Erden as an example. If the O'Neals hadn't been sitting with injuries, he never would have had the playing minutes that he's being given, and to the fans, it would have taken longer to see his potential for the future. However, as K.Garnett pointed out, Erden has been doing great in practice, since he's had to practice on a regular basis against guys like Shaq and Jermaine and himself, gaining experience that is paying dividends already.
We've now been able to see his potential [ once he's had his shoulder repaired, and adds some bulk, he should have a good future with the Cs, hopefully, or another team down the road ].
Another Cs example would be G. Davis- aka B.B.D. As a rookie who was drafted late, he came to the Cs in the Ray Allen trade. His minutes were very limited during his first couple of seasons, and then he had to fill in for Garnett after his injury. He was then able to show his worth, owing to the experience he had gained from the all star veterans, and has been able to become a force off the bench today.
Take into consideration as well, that teams like the Cs seldom get really high draft picks these years - when is the last time they had a no.1 pick, e.g..? and since franchise players only come along every so often, the next best thing is having that core of star veterans who are able to bring the rookies to the next level, and there is no better core of all star veterans than those on the Celtics, position for position to do just that.

By now, you've done the hard part, from a data-tracking and paperwork point of view. But next comes the really important work: figuring out how to use that actual-vs.-estimated variance information to make your next estimates (including those you're working on right now) more accurate.
If all you have been able to do is to track the job as a whole (treating all job-related expenses the same, rather than breaking them down into line items such as flooring and painting), you will be more limited in what sort of analysis you can do. But you can still make some crude improvements that might save your company from disaster. If you learn, for instance, that your actual costs for the project were 25 percent higher than you had estimated, you can still use the same method you used before to estimate the new job, but this time just add 25 percent to the estimated job costs. It may be crude, but it's an important step in the right direction: It may buy you the time you need to get more sophisticated.
As you develop your job-cost accounting beyond the most basic level, you'll find that some major components of an estimate are easy to tighten up and others aren't.
Subcontractor quotes are among the easy ones — or should be. Comparing your estimated costs with your actual costs for electrical, for instance, should be fairly straightforward. All you have to do is compare the electrician's original quote with what he or she actually billed you.
If there's a big discrepancy, you need to find out why. Did the electrician quote from incomplete documents? If so, start to insist on more thorough plans and specs, or tighten up your change-order procedures. Were there omissions in the electrical quote that didn't make it into your specifications, so that you had to eat the costs the electrician didn't account for? In that case, have someone in your organization compare your contract exclusions with all the exclusions in your subs' quotes before contract signing.
What if you find you plugged into the estimate what you thought the electrical should cost, but didn't bother getting an actual quote from the electrician? Not much you can do about that. But next time, get the quote.
Another significant cost factor that should be a snap to get right is large special orders like cabinets, countertops, windows, and doors. Again, this should be a simple comparison of the originally quoted costs with the actual costs, and you should be able to track down the source of estimating errors in these categories pretty easily.
If you add up sub costs and special-order items — all of which are easy to estimate accurately — you may find they represent half to two-thirds of the project cost. That's a solid base to work from: With a little time and energy and a lot of self-discipline, more than half your job costs can be estimated with something very close to rock-solid reliability.
That leaves the biggest challenge — calculating realistic labor budgets. There are lots of ways to do this. One is by unit rate — so many hours per window installation, per door opening, per square of clapboard, and so on. Another is by day rate — the first floor will take so many days to frame, the roof that many more. A third — which can happen only after you have several successfully job-costed projects — is through comparison with similar past projects.
I won't recommend a method; it needs to be your method. I will say, however, that whatever approach you take, the process of improving the accuracy of your labor estimates is one of accepting rather than glossing over the realities of the job site. As discrepancies between estimated and actual costs appear, look first to the estimate to pin down the problems.
If you're off by 100 percent in labor costs for the trim installation, it's more likely that the trim labor budget was way too low than that your crew was only half as productive as it should have been. Placing the blame on the field crew for a big disconnect between actual and estimated costs is pointless — your estimates need to reflect the facts in the field, not the dreams in the office.
Once they do start to better reflect those facts, and you start generating a more predictable revenue stream, you can move on to the next step, which is analyzing where and how to increase field efficiencies. (Keep in mind, though, that those field efficiencies are most effectively generated by properly setting up the job before the field crew ever appears on the site, not by exhorting your crew to work harder or smarter.)
Once you lock in job costs up-front with hard quotes from subs and suppliers, and once you tighten up your labor budgets by using well-documented past experience, the accuracy of your estimates will improve dramatically. At my company, our goal
is for actual costs to be within 2 percent of estimated costs (including change orders). We are hitting that target more and more reliably, so we are increasingly able to closely predict and control how much we make on a project.
For example, we are now able to measure the accuracy of our estimates as the job progresses, using percent-completion accounting. This allows us to predict where a job is headed far enough in advance that we can correct any problems. More important, we're also able to apply these job-cost accounting principles to the entire company, fine-tuning our overhead budgets and getting a clearer picture of how the company as a whole — not just an individual project — is doing financially.
This sort of control should be your ultimate goal. And it is attainable, no matter how difficult and distant it may seem. But remember: It all starts with a good estimate.

I think for 8 MHz UHF DVB-T, you'll be OK even if you stick with just applying the specific patches I made for the Yuan MPC-718. > Thereafter it compiled and installed, > but I no longer get any /dev/video* (which I did get previously) > nor /dev/dvb/* (which I did NOT get previously).

That's because I added support for reading the EEPROM that I saw on the MPC-718 (it's on the back). Either I goofed something up, or you didn't get the patch applied properly to cx18-driver.c:cx18_read_eeprom() and cx18-driver.c:cx18_process_eeprom. You should have seen an eeprom dump and then the message: "Unknown EEPROM encoding" Either way, things should have proceeded anyway. I have added a patch to disable trying to obtain an EEPROM dump from the MPC718 (for now). > Please also find below lspci output, in case it helps. > > Please note that I currently only have one card installed, the second > one is still on the bench in case you need any more hardware data, I > don't want to risk damaging it with too much unnecessary soldering > and removals. That's fine. The only trip-up would be a ZL10353 chip being installed on the new card instead of a MT352 chip.

Tina Dupuy: You know what's never been said? "We should have MORE Republican primary debates." Why?

NORTHFIELD, Vt. - The Norwich University football team could not overcome a slow start Saturday falling 29-14 to visiting St. Lawrence in the team's home opener. The Saints taking a 14-0 lead at the half and never looking back.
Norwich did get on the board in the third quarter with an eight-play, 67-yard drive. Running Back Andrew Fulford bowled in from five yards out as the Cadets cut the defect to 14-7. However, back-to-back touchdown receptions by Ethan Sutton pushed the score to 27-7.
Fulford registered 107 yards to lead the Norwich attack. Coach Mark Murnyack's Cadets fall to 0-2. Norwich will look to get in the win column next week when they travel to Oneonta, N.Y., to take on Hartwick College. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

Welcome, Maniacs, to the twenty-seventh edition of "This Week in MMAmania.com." MMAmania is a gigantic and glorious place and we pump out a ridiculous amount of content. If you don't refresh this site every 60 minutes, you might just miss something amazing.
Have no fears, that's what this weekly article is all about! We'll recap the best of all things MMAmania, whether it be a great comment, a Fan Post, an article, video or something else.
- Comment of the Week: UKblitzkrieg brought down the house with a one-liner to rule them all yesterday. To help add some context, I've added the two comments prior to his, but this one definitely got more than me to chuckle from my computer chair.
Then 100% valid point sir.
But man, putting that shit into practice is fucking hard.
- Str8_right
If it were easy
how would any growth occur?
- Dakatak
there is a pill for that
- UKblitzkrieg
- Article of the week: We got a fun new tool that shows precisely who's the most active commenters, fanposters and fanshotters on MMAmania. In case you missed the "End of the Year" awards for MMAmania residents, here's another chance.
Statistic of the week: Boxers calling out MMA fighters might not be the smartest thing to do, but it sure is good for business. When Tyson Fury namedropped Cain Velasquez, it became one of our most popular articles of the week. The only one to top it? Michael Bisping responding trashtalking right back to him. Keep it up boys!
- Fanpost of the Week: Steve Borchardt took a detailed look at all of the TV ratings for UFC shows this past year and broke it down pretty extensively. This is extremely interesting especially if you're wondering what Fox executives might think of the UFC's performance thus far.
- Honorable mention fanpost of the week: It's not MMAmania without a moneypool recruitment/trash talk post. Even if you're not a member, there's some pretty awesome insults in there. Go check it out.
- Honorable mention comment of the week: Blood, bath and beyond takes the cake this week with a sick burn on our favorite resident Stockton gnobgobbler 209stk:
Gil is gonna fuck bendo off
Ceaser Gracie 4 life!
- 209stk
You have a better shot at winning a spelling bee then Gil does at beating Bendo.
- Blood,bath and beyond
- Interview of the Week: In case you missed it, check out our awesome interview with Invicta FC President Shannon Knapp following her fourth event this past weekend.
But that's not all, we also have Bjorn Rebney giving more details on the Eddie Alvarez situation and Louis Gaudinot calling out Jussier da Silva. .
- Video of the Week: The MMA Candy girls teach us out to pass butterfly guard in the best way possible.
We don't just have great content on MMAmania, our writers also are very active on Twitter, most notably our beloved Geno Mrosko. If you know anything about Geno, he is quick to anger and is not afraid to call anyone out on their BS.
Here's our honorary #GenoTime Tweet of the Week: Geno wasn't a fan of Notre Dame or the baseball Hall of Fame.
I hope the referees continue fucking Notre Dame and Alabama scores a million points. Fuck Notre Dame.
If you're legitimately pissed off that no one went into the Hall of Fame in baseball this year, you're a mark. It's all bullshit.
If you want to catch any good tweets from your Mania writers, here are our accounts: Thomas Myers, Geno Mrosko, Jesse Holland, Adam Guillen Jr., Mike Bohn, Andrew Richardson, George Halvatsis Jr. and Brian Hemminger.
- Obligatory TNA of the Week: I love me some flexible girls
Lastly, let's finish off the week with some Maniac debate. As the week comes to a close, let's get some input:
Now that you've heard from both sides, what do you think will happen when the Eddie Alvarez situation with Bellator/UFC is resolved?
That's it for this week. If you've got an extra suggestions for content, or nominations for articles, comments or discussion topics, please feel free to e-mail me at (and I made this e-mail especially for this): firstname.lastname@example.com.

Application Verifier – First Steps
Microsoft publishes way too many tools to check all of them out. One pretty cool debugging tool is Application Verifier which you can download here. The official docs mention that it is only meant for unmanaged code. But it does work in mixed mode applications as well so you can try to hunt down your managed heap corruption, double closed handles, … with this tool. When you start it the first time you select the executable you want to check and then enable from the right menu the checks you want ......

Slow – Faster - Really Fast
Innocent looking things can make a huge difference. One of the dark arts a good programmer should master are regular expressions. You can parse complex data with them very quickly but the syntax of Regular Expressions looks like black magic. At MSDN there are a lot of well documented examples online which is useful when you have forgotten how this quantifier or that grouping expression does work. There is also some advice on performance which can be very helpful in specific occasions. When it comes ......

Slow ListView? – Virtual ListView!
Did you ever ask yourself during coding how far you can get with simple constructs and when it is time to use the more advanced but also more complex constructs? When you take the next step it can happen that you discover that the more "complex" solution is even more simple! I had such an aha moment with the Windows Forms ListView. I had one in detailed mode with several thousand rows which did show up very slowly because of the huge number of ListViewItem objects inside it. Nothing fancy but for ......

ApiChange Corporate Edition
In my inital announcement I could only cover a small subset what ApiChange can do for you. Lets look at how ApiChange can help you to fix bugs due to wrong usage of an Api within a fraction of time than it would take normally. It happens that software is tested and some bugs show up. One bug could be …. : We get way too man log messages during our test run. Now you have the task to find the most frequent messages and eliminate the Log calls from the source code. But what about the myriads other log ......

ApiChange Is Released!
I have been working on little tool to simplify my life and perhaps yours as developer as well. It is basically a command line tool that allows you to execute queries on your compiled .NET code base. The main purpose is to find out how big the impact of an api change would be if you changed this or that. Now you can do high level operations like Diff public types for breaking changes. Who uses a method? Who uses a type? Who uses implements an interface? Who references me? What format has the binary ......

In what I saw there was a man who behaved terribly unprofessional, didnt accept orders and physically attacked colleagues.
So despite Spock having no clue what to do either (except the non-decision of rejoining the rest of the fleet, for......what precisely?) because he didn't get het up it was ok?
But Kirk actually being stubborn and refusing to blindly follow a bad order (and if a first officer can't question then what's his point?) that was not going to get them any closer to solving the problem is not?
Spock was running away from the problem, Kirk wanted to face it.

Most of the people flying into Atlanta's Heartsfield-Jackon airport from the Boston Marathon Monday evening left the race area before the explosions.
Ingrid Louw, of Alpharetta, finished the Boston Marathon before the explosions.
She was back safe at Atlanta's airport Monday evening but was bothered by the violent acts committed on a sport she loves.
"I was at the airport. I was ready to depart," said Louw."I was shocked. I couldn't believe it. I mean, it's a great occasion . It's just a shame."
Bryan Powell worked the marathon and was at the airport getting ready to leave Boston when he heard about the blasts.
"We rushed to the bar at the airport and turned on the TV and saw the carnage. Just coming from where that was, a little rattled," said Powell.
Some travelers in Atlanta also watched the news coverage on airport monitors.
Danny Bourgeois is the marketing director for the Louisiana Marathon. He had just finished up his work at the at the Boston race before the explosions.
"I felt like I was back in Atlanta again. I felt like it was the Olympics all over again. It caught me off guard," said Bourgeois.
Bourgeois was in Atlanta working the Olympics in 1996 during the Olympic Park bombing.
"I see the good side in it. We all pulled together and are the best of it," said Bourgeois.
He believes the runners and the citizens of Boston will bounce back as well.
And marathons will have increased security and public support in the future.
"I think Boston will be stronger. I think marathons and public events will probably step up a bit and will come back strong," said Bourgeois.
Bourgeois told CBS Atlanta News that the runners and workers who were in the heart of where the explosions happened were held in the area for a while for security reasons.
More runners and workers are expected to start returning back from Boston on Tuesday.

quick notes to self
lovely bottle, presentation is nicely understated. mild head, thin and very delicate lacing. nose of peat, hint of smoke, oak, barrel in the middle, pleasantly dry cocoa finish. barrel influence is subtle, pleasing. has a smooth, chewy character that makes me think of a mild nitro, if that makes sense. not an everyday brew, but worth having for an occasion

Cheers to my brother-in-law for the bottle, purchased from Oak Barrel in Sydney. 375ml and like Moa is wont to do: it's green.
Pours with a rather disappointingly fluid and light body, and requires a bit of airtime to promote a head. Once this forms, though, it's pleasantly fine and creamy, and sticks around until the bottom of the glass. Lacing is good, forming in sweeping, fine bands. Colour is ostensibly black, but actually is an umber brown colour on the edges. Head is a pale mocha. Looks pretty good.
Nose is also pretty pleasant, while being a little weaker than I expected. Pleasant, rounded roasty characters with a hint of oak to adds some sweetness. Some vanilla comes through as it warms a little, but so does a bit of booziness, giving some fruity tones and a little pepper and medicine character. It's still pretty good.
Taste is also good, fairly broad, but with a lightness to the front palate. Some of those medicinal, slightly fruity characters appear towards the middle to back, possibly the Pinot, while on the back towards the finish is a good dose of char. Aftertaste is slightly astringent, with a powerful roast buildup that turns to bitterness after a while.
Feel is actually pretty smooth, even though it feels like it retains a bit of that lightness in the appearance. Still, it's very good.
Overall, yep, this is most definitely a good beer. It has a number of parts to it that I don't necessarily agree with, but it's still crafted with thought and rigour. Probably not the equal of the best Impy Stouts in the world, but a very solid example of the style nonetheless.

Ah the perks of being a beer shop janitor. Got this little treat from a distro rep. Pretty stoked. 375ml bottle poured into a snifter.
Quick Notes
A - Pitch black, small caramel head. No lacing.
S - White whine and oak overpower most else. There is a hint of roasted coffee on the back ned.
T - Flip flops the nose. Heavy in the Roasted coffee department, hint of grape sweetness and bitter chocolate in the back.
M - Surprisingly dry for an impy stout.
O - A super complex and interesting take on a big American stout. The Pinot barrel add a nice dimension to the style. It will be really interesting to see how these flavors develop over time. I can see the rich sweet chocolate coming out along with the pinot sweetness to make something phenomenal

32oz growler, a fortuitous find at Wine and Beyond Sherwood Park during a roundabout tour of the suburbs today. How is this any different from the Pinot Noir barrel aged stuff, if it is also 'barrel reserved'?
This beer pours a solid black abyss, that is until you take a peek at its nether regions, and discover some prominent basal cola highlights, all supporting a few solid fingers of densely foamy, underdeveloped creamy, bubbly beige head, which leaves a decent example of caveman painting lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of chalky medium toasted cocoa, bready caramel malt, faint red wine barrel residue, bitter dry roast coffee beans, a slight oily nuttiness, and tame earthy, leafy hops. The taste is gritty toasted caramel malt, semi-sweet cafe-au-lait, bittersweet baker's chocolate, rather ethereal cherry and wooden cask esters from the purported barrel treatment, a bit of blandly spiced alcohol, and subsumed earthy, weedy hops.
The bubbles are pretty understated, yet adequate for the purpose at hand, the body medium-heavy in weight, undeniably smooth, and creamy to a lesser, more pedestrian extent. It finishes on the sweet side of things, the chocolate gaining a degree of corner store milkiness, the coffee ducking its head in cover, while the hops brave the furor to cuddle with the leaks and spurts of that damned-near bursting alcohol, given its heretofore restrained nature.
As my question about barrel treatment was duly answered early on, I will hence focus on the nature therein. Pinot Noir, while a pleasant enough red varietal, especially in the hands of New Zealand's finer vintners, lacks the general weight to really add anything perceptible to something as big as the base beer here seems to be. I would be hard pressed to tell you that the fruitiness in this offering was sourced from anything other than the robust character of the malt, all other things being equal. So, after all that, we have nothing more than a sturdy, enjoyably warm Imperial stout, one where the rather impressive booze gets only more so, despite its persistent shyness.

Sweet 16 in Punta Cana by - 16 days ago
"We are a group of 4 moms who took our 4 daughters who are all turning Sweet 16 within the next few months on a mother/daughter vacation to Punta Cana. As an added surprise, we had t-shirts made up for all the girls and the moms. What a hit this made! The girls changed into their shirts on the ride to the airport the moment we gave to them and then we captured this great shot in the ocean. Spencer from CustomInk was fantastic to work with. The customer service is friendly and helpful and you get a quality product at a fair price. Since our trip last month, we've had no fewer than a dozen people ask where we got the shirts. I tell them: CustomInk--you have to try them! Thanks, CustomInk for helping to make a special occasion even more special. "

Today it was announced that Anton Volchenkov of the Devils will be suspended 3 games for an elbow to the head in last nights game against the 'Canes. The right call was made by the NHL disciplinary office and in no way am I defending AV. Here is the video:
Pretty reckless, right?
Which brings me to my next point. How would you feel if one of our own Rangers threw an elbow to the head and was suspended like AV? Well, that was almost the case (or should have been).
The other night against the Habs, Brian Boyle got away with the same thing when he caught Jaroslav Spacek with an elbow. How was this not a straight blow to the head, blindsight hit too?
As you can see
(0:11)...it was.
You don't want to call out your own player, and by no means is Brian Boyle a dirty player, but even if that wasn't called on the ice, how did the league not punish him for it? You would like to see the league be consistent with the headshot calls. If the league treated everyone fairly, Boyle deserved to be suspended.

I was just looking at the schedules of the Eastern Conference teams down the stretch. In the month of March Boston, New Jersey and New York have to play 17 games in a 31 day month. Philly, Washington and Florida have 16 games. Toronto and Pittsburgh 15. Ottawa on the other hand plays 13 games in the month.
Could it be that all these games in hand that people have been lording over us as far as catching up to us may actually be our saving grace? Many of these teams are going to be playing a playoff-like schedule a month and half in advance of even making the playoffs. I think it's entirely possible if we get matched up with one of these teams we could be running into a team that is gassed relative to the Sens. I know games in hand could end up being what bounces us from the playoffs, but knowing every other team in the playoff race still has to play the crap part of their schedule makes me quite happy.
