It is that time of year. I know what first comes to mind: turkey, Christmas, holidays, family, and all of the other things that define this season. While I can't argue these, I am talking about it being the time of the football season to get on a streak. With the bye week the Dallas Cowboys have lost control of first place. But as we have seen in the past, getting hot at the right time can change woes into whoahs. With all of the talk this week about the flaws on this team, I sat down to watch some of the "good" teams, just to see the differences between the Cowboys and the teams favored to do well in the post season.
As I watched the Chiefs and Broncos tonight I noticed some things that just stuck with me. I watched safety Eric Berry play coverage so well, it made me try to think of when the last time I saw a Cowboy play like that. I honestly can't remember. That says something about the personnel and scheme. The Chiefs aren't afraid to play man coverage and let their D-line get pressure on the QB. Which also showed me the flaw in the Dallas Cowboys defensive line. When was the last time we saw our line get consistent pressure? Again, I can't remember.
Getting DeMarcus Ware and Jason Hatcher back will certainly help. It is deplorable that without one or both of them, this team has no pass rush. It seems that there just isn't a lot of blitzing from this defense. Here again, when was the last time we saw a successful safety blitz? If you are like me, you don't remember. Getting healthy will certainly change this defense, but the lack of depth is troubling.
On offense, watching the high powered teams in the league, it seems there is something lacking from the Dallas Cowboys. First, we all know the running game just isn't scary to anyone. Not getting Lance Dunbar involved more is questionable. While DeMarco Murray has shown flashes when he isn't injured, Dunbar has shown he has the skills to effectively spell Murray.
The Cowboys offensive play calling is predictable. There is never really a time that I see a wrinkle to free up Dez Bryant, Terrance Williams, Cole Beasley, or Dwayne Harris. It is always playing straight up, nothing to confuse the D, nothing to move players around, nothing to play to the strengths. Denver plays the pick so well, that I am not sure why that hasn't been utilized considering the players on the Cowboys offense. There has to be some better adjustments by Tony Romo, Jason Garrett, and Bill Callahan.
Tis the season for this team to string together some wins. I hope they watched some of the games I did this weekend. If they did in fact watch the games and players, maybe they learned a few things. While we all wait for the Giants and then the annual Turkey Day Game, we hope that they have made adjustments, gotten players back, and are ready for the stretch run.
Come to think of it, I wonder what the players, Jerry Jones, and the coaching staff asked Santa for. This leads us to the song of the week. Since it is the season, enjoy Louis Armstrong ft. Velma Middleton – Baby It's Cold Outside (Mulato Beat Remix). This is my favorite holiday song, and I love this version.

The Process of Labor It is most important that you trust your body when you go into labor. Remember, your body was built to carry, nourish, and safely deliver your baby. Some of the factors that affect the course of labor include your health, nutrition, size and shape of your pelvis, size and presentation of the baby, your educational preparation for labor and birth, and the practice of exercises, relaxation and breathing techniques.

brown spots are likely to just be "old" blood in your discharge. you should contact your doctor with this symptom especially if you've noticed contractions/braxton hicks, or stomach cramps. It could be nothing, as some women spot during pregnancy, but it could also be preterm labor, or a number of other things. only way to know is to call in, and likely be seen.

Twin Commander Aircraft Plans 10th University
Twin Commander Aircraft has begun planning for the 10th edition of its Twin Commander University owner/operator conference. The event will be held next year at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point in Bonita Springs, Fla., from April 28 to 30. Matt Isley, the company's president, told AIN that maintenance topics will include service publication review and updates, current issues, new products and updates and a review of Twin Commander Aircraft's ongoing engineering projects to support the fleet. "We'll also be doing what we call 'gotchas,' the dos and don'ts of Commander maintenance and operations," Isley said. According to Isley, the curriculum will follow the format of previous Universities, with an opening-day class on radar, followed by two days of seminars devoted to the operation, maintenance and upgrade of Twin Commanders. "The University is a key component of our commitment to support the fleet," he said. "It's a hands-on opportunity for owners, operators and prospective owners to interact with experts on all issues having to do with flying and caring for their aircraft.

Academic Profile
Philipp Stelzel is a historian of 20th Century Germany, especially of post-1945 Germany from a transatlantic perspective. Before coming to Boston College, he taught at Duke University, North Carolina State University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is also a Research Associate at the Lasky Center for Transatlantic Studies at the University of Munich. His current book project "A German Special Path: Critical Social History as a Transatlantic Enterprise, 1945-1989" analyzes the intellectual exchange between German and American historians from the end of World War II to the 1980s. In contrast to the prevailing interpretation - which views American historians of modern Germany as a monolithic group of left-liberal scholars - he emphasizes their methodological, interpretive, and political diversity. He also reveals the degree to which the Germans began to associate progress and modernity with the American historical profession. He argues that "American connections" increasingly became an argument in West German historiographical debates, signifying methodological innovation.

Good Buy"

'More to it than pies' "
by Julie
This would be useful to those who can't bend to a low oven. It takes little room and stores upright. I have made pies/tarts etc. with different pastry and fillings, open and closed with great success. It saves the fiddle of cutting larger ones to freeze. I have made Bakewell tarts and custard cakes with sweet scone pastry. Also tried giant Profiteroles!! that were a novelty looking like pies and filled them with icecream. And have more ideas to try. So there's more to it than pies. Ideal size for kids and adults lunch boxes, also picnics. It's sturdily built and I would recommend it.

be careful"
by Mr Buck
I was given the pie maker as a present. Never made pastry before, but soon mastered it. Turned on the pie maker as instructions. Placed the pastry in and disaster, the pastry started to melt and shrink. Then I looked at the video on your website. It recommends putting the pastry in, filling and topping, AND THEN turning it on. Perfect!

pie maker"
by Rebecca
have just tried this for the first time...quite fun but i'm not sure whether its a good buy yet. i found the pies stuck to the lid when i opened it -has anyone else had this problem? maybe i was over cooking the pies... i only cooked them for 8-9 minutes but they seemed too brown.Also the instructions don't make it clear which instrument is used to tidy up the pastry before you close the lid to cook. i presumed it is the cutter for the pastry lid? and that was quite messy brushing oily pastry pieces off the edge.It would be nice to know how much filling each pie is meant to hold too.

Another great culinary Lakeland gadget"
by SUSANNE
Great results from my first attempt which was a chicken curry pie. I used ready made pastry so cheated a little. However we were most impressed. Did remove pies before the time stated as they were ready, may have been due to the pastry type. Looking forward to experimenting with other sweet and savoury delights. My only gripe is the machine colour. I assume it's to replicate the golden pie colour but in reality looks a bit putrid. Cleaning is ok but there are still crevices I have noticed between the handle area and machine which traps grease. Another great gadget however!

A great addition to my kitchen"
by Anita Wilde
I have used this new machine twice & I marvel at how quickly the pies are ready to eat. 10 to 12 minutes is ample. I have been making the two types of pastry as suggested (Flaky for lid & Shortcrust for underneath.The pies are quite small so I tend to serve 2 per person.The machine is very easy to clean. I happily recommend this pie maker it's fantastic.

Great piece of kit"
by Mrs Mawle
I used this for the first time on Friday and it worked brilliantly - the pastry was cooked to perfection in about 10 minutes. However we did find that because the pies are quite small there was too much pastry to filling and wondered whether there are any plans to create a larger pie maker say for one full size pie? Would be very interested if one came onto the market.

A note from the team: Thank you for placing your review. We've passed your suggestion for a larger pie maker to our buying team to consider.
Fabulous pie maker"

My husband took me to the Windermere store last Tuesday as a birthday treat and we saw the pie maker on display. He bought me one for my birthday and I have to say it's fabulous, I have made 26 savoury and 8 sweet pies so far and they are delicious. Well done Lakeland for yet another brilliant idea.

Handy kitchen gadget"
by Mrs Bowman
I ordered the pie maker on the spur of the moment, and then I wondered if I'd done the right thing. But knowing if I didn't like I would be able to return it made me feel confident that it would be OK....... Well I love it! I made just a couple of pies with ready to roll short crust pastry. They were delicious. I'm going to try my own pastry today but I'm sure they will turn out just as well. I told my sister how good it is and she has ordered one too. Well done Lakeland. It's a brilliant product.

Excellent product. Made my first pies (steak and ale) for tea - disappeared in no time. Now going to make apple pies for packed lunches tomorrow. One tip - I recommend flouring the bottom of the 'pusher' tool as the pastry got stuck on my first attempt.

Just ordered this and it came on Friday. I am not a good pie maker AT ALL, but with this pie maker, I look like a professional. I made blackberrie/strawberry pies, quiche and steak and ale pies on the weekend. Froze lots for those nights and/or days when you don't feel like cooking, just reheat and serve. Recommend this for anyone.

tion. Although many of these skills are innate for most professionals and other leaders, they need constant refinement and honing.
CDC has pioneered the development and funding of a national Public Health Leadership Institute, and in the intervening dozen years, more than 500 leaders in public health have been exposed to leadership training and skill building (described in more detail in the Academia chapter). Furthermore, a similar network of State and Regional Public Health Leadership Institutes has been funded and, over time, has developed the capacity to work collaboratively through a national network, which permits institutes to benchmark and share best practices and continue the process of learning needed to help with state-of-the art curriculum and educational training efforts. Equally notable has been the development of the Management Academy for Public Health, a joint effort of the major public health philanthropies. Although effort is still at an early stage, this academy has already generated graduates who work hand in glove with senior leadership in public health organizations. Furthermore, the Turning Point Initiative devotes efforts to increasing collaborative leadership across all sectors and at all levels (Larson et al., 2002)
Another key to leadership is continuity in office long enough to exert the leadership and to provide the institutional memory to defend public health agencies and the public health sector from the political winds of the moment. Yet, the committee finds there has been great difficulty in recruiting, developing, and retaining the leaders so vital to the job.
A state health official's term, if that official is a political appointee, is tied to the governor's term. Health officials must work with legislators who operate on 2-year terms. Given that the average tenure of a state health officer is relatively short (an average of 3.9 years and a median of 2.9 years) (ASTHO, 2002), many state health officials find it difficult to create longer-term plans for achieving health goals on shorter-term time frames (Meit, 2001). Additionally, because state health officers report to many governing bodies, they generally have less direct access to policy makers, and state health officials must prioritize the issues that they think deserve the most attention (Meit, 2001). Political factors at the state level can also have a significant impact on the abilities of public health leadership to influence policy. To address the specific issues of discontinuity occasioned by the rapid turnover, particularly of state health officials, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has funded a unique State Health Leadership Initiative administered by the National Governors Association to immerse newly appointed officials in a curriculum for political leadership and provide a network of resources and mentors.
Governmental public health leadership is a critical component of the infrastructure that must be strengthened, supported, and held accountable by all of the partners of the public health system and the community at

Anonymous said: Do you mind handing this blog off to someone who will keep it more up to date? You never post anymore
Not a chance.
Sorry, but at one point in time this blog was my internet baby (circa 2009 - early 2012) and I'm still pretty proud of it, if I'm honest. We're the OG Set it Off fan tumblr and that's rad. I don't want to pass it on to someone else because there's no one else I trust to run it the way I did in it's prime time.
I'm sorry that this blog is dying. I don't like it either, but I'm not going to let someone else take over.
Anyone still care about this blog?

Hi, I'm technically new to this forum, but have been following the chatter on and off. You see, I'm a little older than most of you on this forum and probably a decade above the average age of the typical fan base of TBP. I caught on to TBP courtesy YouTube suggestions while browsing songs. I was intrigued enough to go to the Channel V website to check out the first episode. Watching the first assembly sequence brought back memories of my own crazy school days and I was hooked. The initial group of 8 buddies were very believable and something most people can relate to; I had school friends who had some of the traits of each of them and it just resonated enough to make me compelled to watch season 1. It was nice to see the different personalities of the group of 8 and their varied views, different backgrounds and yet understand the similarities in what they were going through in school.
I felt I had to speak out and add my two cents to the growing pile as I do agree with a lot of the angst here. Season 2 started with a lot of potential. I was hoping to relive my memories of college life. I find all of that somehow missing from the essence of what to me is a show about the lives of a bunch of friends in college. The friendships and the relationships are the underlying strengths of the show but that can only get shown out through all the rest of the things that make up college life like arts / sports / college festivals, bunking classes to watch movies, inter-college rivalry, dancing and singing at college events etc.. I don't really watch the newer episodes as much, I find that I can grasp pretty much the entire story from the weekly summary episode... And that is really sad! It wasn't like that before and I'd really like the spark to come back, and that has to come from all the individuals and their interactions, friendships, loves and the growth of the characters through college. I think the love stories are all well and good, as it is part and parcel of college life, but only if you show the rest of it also.

Conforming Nextant 400XT To Make Debut at EBACE
The first production-conforming Nextant Aerospace 400XT will make its public debut next month at EBACE in Geneva. The 400XT–a remanufactured Beechjet 400A/Hawker 400XP with Williams FJ44-3AP engines, Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics and a zero-timed airframe complete with new paint and interior–has better fuel specifics and a greater 2,005-nm range than a base airplane. Winglets will be offered as an option in the near future. Dubbed by Nextant as 400XT production number one, the twinjet to be displayed at EBACE went into paint yesterday and will get a newly designed paint scheme. This aircraft is also outfitted with the 400XT's standard Collins Venue in-flight entertainment system and the optional Aircell Axxess Iridium satcom system. Nextant vice president of sales and marketing Jay Heublein told AIN that this particular 400XT is for sale, making it one of the few remaining slots for 2011 delivery. The Cleveland-based company currently has four other aircraft undergoing remanufacturing and expects to deliver eleven 400XTs in total this year. Within three years, the delivery rate is expected to rise to 48 annually. Certification of the $3.975 million 400XT now hinges on approval of the Williams engines, which is pending.

Texts: Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16; Psalm 22:23-31; Romans 4:13-25; Mark 8:31-38
Call to Worship
L: Pilgrims, we are invited to journey through this season of Lent
P: towards the One who calls us each by a new name.
L: Disciples, we walk with Jesus wherever he leads us,
P: pulling our fears, our doubts, our longings behind us.
L: Believers, we seek to trust the God who always surprises us,
P: whose promises take on flesh and blood in the good news called Jesus.
Prayer of the Day
Though people may turn
their backs on us,
you do not hide
your face from us.
Though others may try
to take away our hope,
you assure us of
that future waiting for us.
You speak your name,
Inscrutable Creator,
and it is enough.
When we try to dictate
our fears to you,
you invite us to follow you
into self-denial and service.
As we struggle to shape
our lifestyle to yours,
you carry us with you
wherever we go.
You speak your good news,
Teacher of open hearts,
and it is enough.
Though we have done
nothing to earn them,
you pour out the gifts
of grace and mercy upon us.
When we stumble
over our lack of trust,
you set us back on our feet,
to follow you into the kingdom.
You speak your peace,
Breath of Holiness,
and it is enough.
God in Community, Holy in One,
it is enough that you hear us
even as we pray as we are taught,
Our Father . . .
Call to Reconciliation
Looking deep within ourselves, we see that barrenness
that dwells in our souls. Reluctant to trust God, we find
our faith wavering when we have to make difficult
choices. We look for quick fixes and easy solutions,
rather than for God's answers in our lives. Let us
be honest with ourselves, and with God, as we pray
together, saying,
Unison Prayer of Confession
God of our ancestors in the faith, we are a people
who have known the hurt of broken promises, and have
spoken words we could not keep. We are quick to
condemn those who make wrong choices, but want
only gentle criticism directed our way. We let our
lives be guided so much by our past, rather than
opening our eyes, our hearts, our hopes to your
amazing future.
Forgive our distrust of the vows you have made
to us, God of Sarah. Forgive our disbelief that you
can bring hope to those places where we see only
despair, God of Abraham. Forgive our hesitancy
in denying all that keeps us from committing ourselves
completely to you, God of Peter and the psalmists.
Forgive us, so we may take up the life you offer
to us in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
Silence is kept
Assurance of Pardon
L: Listen carefully, dear friends. God does not
reject us, God redeems us. God does not back
out of the relationship created so long ago,
God restores it to its original purpose. God
does not hold back, but pours abundant
forgiveness into our lives.
P: Forgiven, we can follow; filled with hope,
we can empty ourselves for others; restored
to new life, we can live in relationship with
God, with our neighbors and enemies, with
ourselves. Thanks be to God. Amen.
Great Prayer of Thanksgiving
L: May the Lord of the journey be with you.
P: And also with you.
L: Pilgrims of God, lift up your hearts.
P: We offer them to the One who denied himself
to carry us into life forever.
L: Sing songs of thanksgiving to the God who
is faithful in keeping promises.
P: We offer glad anthems of joy to the One
who calls us by name.
Out of that barrenness called chaos
you called into life all that is good and true,
Beneficent God:
your face shining in the starlight,
your voice echoing in the crashing waves,
your heart, your hopes, your love
poured into those created in your image.
Showering them with peace and mercy,
you began to teach them all they needed
in order to live in hope, and in joy, with you.
But setting their minds on all the desires
which temptation revealed to them,
they began to rebuke you,
denying your dreams for them,
as we thought only of ourselves.
You continued to speak of your promises,
sending the prophets into all the barren places
where we lived and worked and dreamed,
but we were ashamed of the words they spoke,
and would not listen to the love which formed them.
So, you asked the One called Blameless
to leave your side and walk before you,
coming to share your faith in us.
Therefore, we join our voices with those
from every time and in every place,
and with the choirs of heaven,
who forever sing your praises:
P: Holy, holy, holy, God who calls life into being.
All the ends of the earth and far corners of the universe
sing your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is the One who comes to take up his cross.
Hosanna in the highest.
You are holy, God of Abraham and Sarah,
and Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, is blessed forever.
When he could have stumbled over our distrust,
he called us to follow him into your promises;
when our rejection could have weakened his faith,
he grew strong in his commitment to deny himself;
when he could have remained silent,
he declared your salvation to all,
even to those not yet alive;
when he could have hidden his face in fear,
he turned towards Jerusalem,
going to his death and into the grave,
that you might give life to all
who had died to sin.
As we come to the Table he has prepared,
we declare that in his crucifixion and resurrection
we find that mystery we call faith:
P: Christ died to bring forth life;
Christ has risen to declare 'God has done it';
Christ will come again in glory.
Here, at this Table,
where the gifts of the bread and the cup
are offered to your children gathered around,
pour out your Spirit of healing and hope.
Feed us with the food of heaven
which can make us whole once more,
so we can go to serve all
whom we have treated with contempt.
Nourish us with the cup of life
which can change us into your faithful people,
so we can go to bring healing
to those disabled by our prejudices.
And when we are brought home to you,
when we are gathered with our sisters and brothers
from all the ends of the earth,
we will sing your glory and grace forever,
God in Community, Holy in One. Amen.

There are two answers to Tom's primary question: a short one and a much more involved answer that relates to markets, perceptions and estimating procedure. His inquiry is best addressed by the fact that collisions are random events and each damaged car is like a snowflake, with unique characteristics. For that reason, labor guide editors have no choice but to study labor times on undamaged cars. It is, however, crucial that a labor database provider have a thorough working knowledge of the reality of repairing damaged vehicles. Seemingly, this is the purpose of the oft-mentioned P pages.
Why Undamaged?
New, undamaged vehicles, by comparison, are far more consistent, which makes a strong case for the database providers' practice of basing their times the way they do.
"We have few logical choices for a basis," says Phil Cunningham, labor editor for Motor Publishing - providers of the labor database used in all CCC estimating products, as well as a number of others such as Comp-Est. "One could only wonder what type of chaos and confusion would exist if we based our times on collision-damaged and/or rusted vehicles. One party would assume the time was based upon light damage of a car from Phoenix. The other would assume the time was based on heavy damage of a car from a rust-belt state like Michigan."
Says Rick Tuuri, database manager for ADP Claims Solutions Group: "One of the most misunderstood phrases in the industry is the 'new and undamaged panel' statement that ADP and the other information providers make. People like to poke fun and sometimes seriously question the validity of 'time studies on new and undamaged panels.' When ADP refers to 'times that apply to new and undamaged panels,' we simply mean that we use this as the benchmark condition for panels required for collision repair.
"Our database includes time to replace components, not times to repair them. When a shop replaces a component, it's already returned the car to factory specs - I hope -and is ready to install parts under reasonably like-new conditions. Although access time is a reality, access time, like repair time, is not standard and varies based on the actual condition of the vehicle being repaired. Therefore, no provider can automate access time."
According to Kevin Earlywine, Mitchell's senior collision labor editor, "Labor times are developed based on a compilation of the following: We receive all pertinent information from the vehicle manufacturer - such as body repair manuals, build sheets, service procedures and warranty values. We firmly believe that the vehicle manufacturer designed and built the vehicle and, therefore, knows best how to return it to pre-accident condition.
"We also perform time studies to aid in developing new and documenting existing allowances. Our historical database is also queried for pre-established allowances that can be utilized on sister/cousin platforms.
"Lastly, the editor's hands-on experience is utilized to compile this information and to finalize the final values along with specific vehicle labor notes. Currently, we have 10 labor editors - seven collision labor, two mechanical labor and one heavy truck specialist. They average 15 years of industry experience.
"Studies - and therefore Mitchell labor times - are based on new, OEM undamaged parts on new undamaged vehicles. Results from hands-on field research has demonstrated that there are many variables involved when allowances are based on damaged vehicles. We never know to what extent there's previous damage, when access time is required, when parts need freeing up or when tar and grease would need to be removed. Using the premise of new, undamaged vehicles, the variables are minimized and times are verifiable."
It's What You Make of It
If your shop relies on the bids for repair created by its customers' insurers, you're not likely to get the benefit of everything that lies in store for the skilled user of the crash guides. It's important to note that the P-page addenda for each estimating system makes a disclaimer with regard to its usage. That is, all the impediments and conditional factors to the removal and replacement of parts are separate, not-included items. In other words, those items that make each hit unique in terms of its difficulty to repair need to be included in the estimate. More fundamentally, each database provider states that its data is to be used as a guide in estimating damage repair costs. The insurance industry's reliance on the guides as the last word on labor costs notwithstanding, the fact remains that a shop (as an independent business) is free to write its bids as it wishes, taking the fullest advantage of the user-defined portions of the programs.
Body shops also reserve the more basic right to reject a third-party bid as insufficient. Doing so, however, can be problematic for a shop owner. He risks getting dragged into a dispute - one that's essentially between the customer and the insurance company. This tends to place the owner in a most uncomfortable position and, clearly, no one wants that. Far worse, a shop that rejects a bid can be seen as declining work, an act with consequences that might include losing the job and alienating a customer.
Historically speaking, labor guides haven't always been regarded as restrictor plates to profits. When first published, the guides were nothing short of revolutionary for body shop operators. Now, collision repair shops could reduce their non-productive time in the administrative and bidding work because they had an extensive listing of crash parts, prices and illustrations. Instead of having to guess how long it would take to remove and replace a window regulator and how the factories serviced those parts, shops had a guide on which they could base their written estimates. In those early days, the two operative words - estimate and guide - were used in the literal sense.
The object is to open the P-pages and use them! There are real-world impediments to the removal and replacement of car parts. For example, corroded fasteners and bolts can slow down your technician considerably. You might have to soak the fastener in penetrating oil, smack it a few times and come back later. Nothing can be worse than a bolt broken in a cage nut inside a rocker panel or an equally inopportune place for a fastener to snap.
Collision access time is one often-overlooked item on shop estimates. Many times, the collision damage will prevent a technician from opening a door, a deck lid or hood. But the steps he must go through to gain access to parts to replace or repair them aren't included in their replacement times. And why would they be? Undamaged hoods usually open just fine.
Pre-pulling a damaged panel before its welds are drilled out is another commonly forgotten item on the sheets. You simply don't remove and replace collision-damaged welded panels. Also, anything you must do to accomplish this - such as welding tabs, a series of pins or punching a hole in the panels - needs to be added, too.
If a car is filthy before it comes inside your shop, it must be cleaned. Pre-wash operations aren't included in paint times. A solvent wash, however, is part of the refinish operation as defined in most of the P-page guides.
Tinting, blending, back masking jambs, car covers, color sand and polish are also not-included items and must be written separately in accordance with the various estimating programs and books. Note: Electronic and printed versions of the same database should be identical.
Numerous sources for training on how to use labor guides are available. Whether you're using any number of electronic estimating systems or the printed versions, there are untold angles from which each repair can be approached. Glen Funk of Motor Publications has been traveling the United States for years giving seminars on estimating. One principle he drives home to the people is, "If you do it, write it."
Historically Speaking
Back in the old days (say, as recent as the early 1960s), an estimate was exactly that - a rough idea of repair costs given to the customer so he'd have an idea of what to expect when he picked up his car and had to pay the bill. Invariably, the final bill (invoice) was marginally higher (and in some rare cases, lower) than the estimate. However, customers shopped around more in those days, often at the insistence of insurance agents who told insureds they'd only pay the lowest bid. Due to the manipulation and fraud that came as a result of that practice, the lowest estimate game has all but disappeared today.
The guides provided a key to how much time you could expect to spend in the removal and replacement of a limited amount of commonly damaged parts. For someone without experience on certain models, that was useful information. Up-to-date parts prices were also invaluable, both from a body shop's and a parts department's perspectives. Instead of having to call a dealer for prices or rewrite the bids after receiving parts, it was all right there.
In the 1960s, the labor guides enabled insurance companies to begin writing their own estimates, instead of having to "adjust" a shop's bid. The eventual effect was to decrease the number of estimates written by the shop prior to an inspection of the damage by a representative of the insurance company. The body shops' acceptance of the bids created a trend in which the insurers began to assume the mantle of setting repair prices. Either by sheer complacency or the operators' willingness to jointly work up an estimate with an adjuster, the responsibility to bid on work began to shift away from the body shops. In fact, some shops preferred to have the insurance company speak first, fearing they underwrote the estimate.
With the development of the now omnipresent labor guide - which at its inception primarily served as little more than an up-to-date parts price list - estimates could be written more efficiently. Fast forward 40 years and we can see how the effect of the guides and their universal usage was to standardize labor. Clock time gave way to book time.
Matter of Choice
Ultimately, disputes over repair costs boil down to what a provider of collision repair is willing to accept. If virtually every shop in town rejects a bid from an insurance company, how valid is their estimate as a measure of damages to the policyholder's car? The problem with rejecting bids, however, is that there's almost always someone - be they hack or crackerjack - that will take a bite from an unripened apple.
"The labor standards that 'reflect life' referred to by Mr. Ferguson can be achieved by using the time standards combined with your own expertise in providing and accounting for repair times and access time, when applicable," says Tuuri. "I know of no one who - in my estimation - will ever be able to automate 100 percent of an estimate because of the variances that occur in each case. Put another way, I've personally had more than 25 collisions in my driving career and I've never had the same one twice."
Writer Charlie Barone has been working in and around the body shop business for the last 27 years, having owned and managed several collision repair shops. He's an ASE Master Certified technician, a licensed damage appraiser and has been writing technical, management and opinion pieces since 1993. Barone can be reached via e-mail at [email protected].
What Does It Really Matter?
You don't compete with databases; you compete against other shops. With that understanding, the labor database times don't carry that much significance and aren't relevant to what you sell your labor for
In the final analysis, what does all this matter to an operator of an independent body shop? In all the years I worked for the Chilton Company - the name synonymous with automotive labor guides - I never actually witnessed the Chilton Book Company doing a time study for their professional manuals. Over time, that database dominated virtually all corners in that market, establishing itself as the pre-eminent reference. But their management of the information and the way the times were derived might surprise you. There was one fellow in the company who essentially held that responsibility. His name was Bob. Through his vast industry contacts with dealers and independent mechanical shops and his own personal knowledge, he was in a position to have the last word on times. What an enormous task! To think that the financial future of all these businesses hinged on Bob's best judgment - or did it?
Was this lack of extensive hands-on research scandalous? Or did it make any difference in their database's acceptance in the market? Apparently it didn't because the Chilton guides stood on their own and were a matter of tradition in the mechanical service market, long before Bob came on the scene. Repair shops have relied on the Chilton professional manuals for service information and labor times as a matter of faith ... but you never heard their customers demanding to see time studies. Why do you think that was? Was Bob always on the money? Did Bob's opinion, or for that matter Chilton's labor times, control the mechanical service dealers? Of course not.
What if there were a Bob working for one of the publishers of the collision labor guides? Would he bear responsibility for repair costs? What would be the point?
The difference with the Chilton scenario and what BodyShop Business readers face is that mechanical shops generally don't let third parties write their bills or set rates. For them, the book labor times are what they're intended to be: guides, not prices. And despite the presence of a growing number of third-party pay systems in the market for mechanical service, prices for mechanical labor tend to self-adjust based on demand and availability.
It's the same for the autobody business ... or at least it should be. Just remember you don't compete with databases; you compete with each other. With that understanding, the labor database times really don't carry that much significance, so existence of time studies isn't relevant to what you sell your labor for, is it?
If you find a third-party bid won't cut it and labor times are low, simply ignore them. Reject the bid and concentrate on what the work is worth in your area. What's the job's actual market value using the assumption the job is done correctly? Not perfect, mind you, because that's not always a realistic expectation. As well-known West Virginia body shop owner and activist Jim Graley once said, it's not about being perfect. It's about a safe and acceptable repair - one you'd be proud to sell to your customers. That's your target.
Editor's note: Since the sale of the Chilton Company and the dismantlement of its assets, the Chilton labor database has been licensed to Nichols Publishing. Nichols does, in fact, have a fully equipped facility for their study of actual mechanical labor operations.
Why are the labor time standards done on clean, undamaged parts?
The industry's Big 3 labor database providers respond:
ADP Claims Solutions Group: "Our database includes time to replace components, not times to repair them," says Rick Tuuri, ADP's database manager. "When a shop replaces a component, it's already returned the car to factory specs - I hope - and is ready to install parts under reasonably like-new conditions. Although access time is a reality, access time, like repair time, is not standard and varies based on the actual condition of the vehicle being repaired. Therefore, no provider can automate access time."
Motor Publishing (providers of the labor database used in all CCC estimating products, as well as a number of others such as Comp-Est): "One could only wonder what type of chaos and confusion would exist if we based our times on collision-damaged and/or rusted vehicles," says Phil Cunningham, labor editor for Motor Publishing. "One party would assume the time was based upon light damage of a car from Phoenix. The other would assume the time was based on heavy damage of a car from a rust-belt state like Michigan."
Mitchell International: "Results from hands-on field research has demonstrated that there are many variables involved when allowances are based on damaged vehicles," says Kevin Earlywine, Mitchell's senior collision labor editor. "We never know to what extent there's previous damage, when access time is required, when parts need freeing up or when tar and grease would need to be removed. Using the premise of new, undamaged vehicles, the variables are minimized and times are verifiable."
BodyShop Business is the ultimate information source for the collision repair industry. BodyShop Business is dedicated to empowering shop owners with the knowledge they need to run successful businesses.

Silly Boys: Security is for Girls!
American Fire & Security, Dayton, Ohio, banks on social media
Wood said the company's biggest challenge will be continued growth and delivering on The Security Girl promise, and that equates to hiring the right people.
"As our company grows, we need to find the best people to facilitate exceptional customer service," she said. "When I interview perspective sales personnel I always ask, 'What does The Security Girl mean to you?' If they do not identify The Security Girl with exceptional technology and customer service I know right away that they are not a good fit for our company."
Right now, AF&S is working to expand its product lines and its markets. In five years, Wood expects the company to be bigger. "But our core values and our dedication to our customers will not change," she stated.

Buffy Bag! Which Buffy Character Am I Quiz. As Spock would say, interesting..
or fascinating
Los Angeles, Ca 2013
—Transcendental Youth
[A lot of] Transcendental Youth is about mental illness, severe sort of severe depression when you don't leave your house. And I think pretty often when you enter into that sort of mindset, you know when you really are so genuinely depressed that you sort of can't see past your door, I think it's pretty common to go: "God, I hate this place, I hate this place!" I don't think a lot of people who are very depressed have a lot of love for their surroundings and, for me anyway, in my most depressed times I always just hate the town I'm in. I blame it. I mean when I lived in Portland for nine months, I was profoundly depressed and boy did I hate Portland. I just blamed Portland for everything. The weather, you know. So that's what that's about. That feeling of when you are struggling. How you tend to hate where you are.— John Darnielle, (x)

The potential hiring of ex Cowboy defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, has gotten the Ram fans wondering if they will switch from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defense. Many will be surprised to see the Rams do the switch to a 3-4 defense, as their defensive starters are obviously cut out to be playing in a 4-3 system. If the Rams were to change to a 3-4 defense, this will completely change the needs for the Rams going into the national draft. An inside linebacker to play next to James Laurinitus would be a major need as well as a big run stuffing nose tackle. It wouldn't make much sense for the Rams to make the switch to a 3-4 defense, as they already have too many current holes in the team to be creating even more.
Two players will be analyzed weekly (one from defense and one from offense) based on their current form in college football.
This isn't a mock draft. This is simply an analysis of high valued players that will enter the 2013 NFL draft, so that you guys are more knowledgeable of each high draft prospect come draft time.
Cordarrelle Patterson (6 foot 3, 205 pounds)
Wide Receiver (Tennessee)
The Rams wide receiving unit has improved immensely since the 2011 season. With Chris Givens constantly showing why he is a deep threat and Danny Amendola working his magic in the slot position, you get the feeling that the Rams are just one receiver short from having the complete wide receiving unit. Many have their doubts about Brian Quick, but people forget that he came from Appalachian State which is a very small school. The Rams knew he would be a working progress. Les Snead recently stated that Quick is very similar to star wideout, Vincent Jackson. Jackson also came from a small school and was drafted in the second round, not expecting to make an immediate impact. In their first season, Jackson had three receptions for 59 yards and no touchdowns, while Quick had 11 receptions for 156 yards and two touchdowns. Rams aren't going to give up on Brian Quick too early.
Cordarrelle Paterson is arguably the best wide receiver in this class. He has the height and speed to be an instant starter on any team. Patterson has only had one season playing in the SEC, so plenty of scouts are skeptical if he is able to transfer his talents to the NFL. Although Patterson is still a unpolished route runner, he still has the natural ability to duck and weave past a defense when he has the ball in his hand. The 6 foot 3 wide receiver finished second behind Justin Hunter with 46 catches for 778 yards and five touchdowns.
Draft range – mid first round/early second round
Alec Ogletree (6 foot 3, 235 pounds)
Linebacker (Georgia)
The Rams shouldn't change to a 3-4 defense if Rob Ryan becomes the defensive coordinator, because it will only create more holes on the teams roster. The Rams' defense are only a few positions away from being one of the most complete defenses in the NFL. Safety is obviously a position that the Rams will have to look at this offseason, as Craig Dahl can no longer be the answer (if he ever was) and strong safety Quintin Mikell may no longer be on the team, strictly to free up some cap space. The obvious need for the Rams defense is an outside linebacker. Jo-Lunn Dunbar had a fantastic 2012 season, but there is still a gaping hole at the strong side linebacker position that must be addressed this offseason from either the draft or the free agency.
Ogletree has a lean frame that may limit his positioning in the NFL. He has room to put on some weight, and would be ideal as a 4-3 outside linebacker or 3-4 inside linebacker. He played inside linebacker in a 3-4 system for Georgia, but don't be surprised to see 4-3 defensive teams interested in drafting Ogletree as an outside linebacker. Ogletree is a converted safety who was a standout at Newnan High School. In his senior college season, he had 85 tackles, five tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, two interceptions and two blocked kicks on defense. This includes Ogletree missing the first four games of the 2012 season. Ogletree really improved his draft stock over the last two months. He many continue this trend leading up to the draft, impressing many scouts with his athletic ability at the combine. Right now Ogletree would be expected to be drafted around the 20's, but dont be surprised if a team is willing to give him a chance in the top 12.

Today's special session of the Human Rights Council on Syria is the latest in the ever expanding chorus of condemnation of the Asad regime's brutality. I applaud the Council for holding its third special session on Syria since April, with a record 29 co-sponsors.
No nation has been the subject of more than one special session, let alone three, in such a short amount of time. Today's resolution passed by an overwhelming margin of 37 to 4, including the support of all seven Arab members. I am pleased by the Council's creation of a special rapporteur to maintain focus on the human rights situation in Syria even after the Commission's mandate ends.
The United States will continue to stand in solidarity with the Syrian people and to lead the rest of the international community to do the same.

Genital Herpes Health Center
Herpes Tests
If an antibody test is done, there is very little chance of problems from having a blood sample taken from a vein.
- You may get a small bruise at the site. You can lower the chance of bruising by keeping pressure on the site for several minutes.
- In rare cases, the vein may become swollen after the blood sample is taken. This problem is called phlebitis. A warm compress can be used several times a day to treat this.
- Ongoing bleeding can be a problem for people with bleeding disorders. Aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), and other blood-thinning medicines can make bleeding more likely. If you have bleeding or clotting problems, or if you take blood-thinning medicine, tell your doctor before your blood sample is taken.
Herpes tests are done to find the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Results for a rapid viral culture may take 2 to 3 days, while results for a standard culture can take up to 14 days. Antigen detection test results are ready in a day. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test results are ready in 1 to 3 days. Results from an antibody blood test are ready in 2 days. The results from an antibody test called an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA, EIA) may be ready in about 2 hours.
Normal results are called negative.
No HSV grows in the viral culture.
No herpes antibodies are present in the blood.
Abnormal results that show HSV are called positive.
HSV grows in the viral culture.
HSV antigens or DNA are found.
Antibodies to the herpes virus are present in the blood.
Samples taken from newly formed sores containing fluid (blisters) are generally better than samples collected from older, crusted sores.
A normal (negative) test result does not mean you do not have a herpes infection. If the first test is negative but you have symptoms of herpes, more tests may be done.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- If a culture sample is taken from a crusted, older sore.
- If a blood sample is taken before antibodies against HSV have formed. This period is called the window period or seroconversion period.
- If you are taking antiviral medicines, such as acyclovir, famciclovir, ganciclovir, or valacyclovir.
What To Think About
- Normal test results do not mean you do not have a herpes infection.
- Herpes is often diagnosed by symptoms and by knowing whether the person has had contact with an infected person. Sometimes a test is not needed. A person who has genital herpes needs to learn how to avoid spreading the disease, because the disease is more likely to be spread when he or she has sores. If you have recurrent outbreaks, especially during times of stress or illness, you can also spread the disease.
- You may want to know whether a herpes infection is due to HSV-1 or HSV-2 so you can take steps to prevent or treat outbreaks.
- A genital herpes infection can be spread from a mother to her baby during vaginal delivery. In a newborn, herpes can cause organ failure, brain infection, and death. If active herpes is present near the time of delivery, a cesarean delivery (C-section) may be done to prevent infecting the baby.
- Rapid tests are available at some clinics that check blood from a finger stick for antibodies to HSV-2. The results are generally ready in about 10 minutes. These tests are more expensive than other tests and may not be available everywhere.
