36 Years Ago; The Nike Oregon Waffle Racer is Introduced
September 30th, 2009
Jason Lewis and Wes Galloway from Mizuno were in this morning to say hi and check on things. Nice guys who are certifiable shoe geeks. Jason took a few of the photos from one of our previous blog posts for his own Sneaker Consipiracy blog (http://sneakerconspiracy.blogspot.com/). While in my office Jason asked to see the May '77 Runner's World magazine I got them from. While thumbing through, he found an ad for the EB Lydiard Shoes, so he took a photo of it from his cell phone for future blogging use. While he was looking at that issue, I pulled a few Runner's World issues from '73. Wes was happy to see ads his dad had placed in the magazine for the infamous Phidippides Running Singlet.

An exhortation to holiness, and the whole church entreated to bear affection to the apostle. (1-4) He rejoiced in their sorrowing to repentance. (5-11) And in the comfort they and Titus had together. (12-16)
Verses 1-4 The promises of God are strong reasons for us to follow after holiness; we must cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of flesh and spirit. If we hope in God as our Father, we must seek to be holy as he is holy, and perfect as our Father in heaven. His grace, by the influences of his Spirit, alone can purify, but holiness should be the object of our constant prayers. If the ministers of the gospel are thought contemptible, there is danger lest the gospel itself be despised also; and though ministers must flatter none, yet they must be gentle towards all. Ministers may look for esteem and favour, when they can safely appeal to the people, that they have corrupted no man by false doctrines or flattering speeches; that they have defrauded no man; nor sought to promote their own interests so as to hurt any. It was affection to them made the apostle speak so freely to them, and caused him to glory of them, in all places, and upon all occasions.
Verses 5-11 There were fightings without, or continual contentions with, and opposition from Jews and Gentiles; and there were fears within, and great concern for such as had embraced the Christian faith. But God comforts those who are cast down. We should look above and beyond all means and instruments, to God, as the author of all the consolation and good we enjoy. Sorrow according to the will of God, tending to the glory of God, and wrought by the Spirit of God, renders the heart humble, contrite, submissive, disposed to mortify every sin, and to walk in newness of life. And this repentance is connected with saving faith in Christ, and an interest in his atonement. There is a great difference between this sorrow of a godly sort, and the sorrow of the world. The happy fruits of true repentance are mentioned. Where the heart is changed, the life and actions will be changed. It wrought indignation at sin, at themselves, at the tempter and his instruments. It wrought a fear of watchfulness, and a cautious fear of sin. It wrought desire to be reconciled with God. It wrought zeal for duty, and against sin. It wrought revenge against sin and their own folly, by endeavours to make satisfaction for injuries done thereby. Deep humility before God, hatred of all sin, with faith in Christ, a new heart and a new life, make repentance unto salvation. May the Lord bestow it on every one of us.
Verses 12-16 The apostle was not disappointed concerning them, which he signified to Titus; and he could with joy declare the confidence he had in them for the time to come. Here see the duties of a pastor and of his flock; the latter must lighten the troubles of the pastoral office, by respect and obedience; the former make a due return by his care of them, and cherish the flock by testimonies of satisfaction, joy, and tenderness.
2 Corinthians 7:1-16 . SELF-PURIFICATION THEIR DUTY RESULTING FROM THE FOREGOING. HIS LOVE TO THEM, AND JOY AT THE GOOD EFFECTS ON THEM OF HIS FORMER EPISTLE, AS REPORTED BY TITUS.
1. cleanse ourselves--This is the conclusion of the exhortation ( 2 Corinthians 6:1 2 Corinthians 6:14 , 1 John 3:3 , Revelation 22:11 ).
filthiness--"the unclean thing" ( 2 Corinthians 6:17 ).
of the flesh--for instance, fornication, prevalent at Corinth ( 1 Corinthians 6:15-18 ).
and spirit--for instance, idolatry, direct or indirect ( 1 Corinthians 6:9 , 1 Corinthians 8:1 1 Corinthians 8:7 , 1 Corinthians 10:7 1 Corinthians 10:21 1 Corinthians 10:22 ). The spirit ( Psalms 32:2 ) receives pollution through the flesh, the instrument of uncleanness.
perfecting holiness--The cleansing away impurity is a positive step towards holiness ( 2 Corinthians 6:17 ). It is not enough to begin; the end crowns the work ( Galatians 3:3 , 5:7 , Philippians 1:6 ).
fear of God--often conjoined with the consideration of the most glorious promises ( 2 Corinthians 5:11 , Hebrews 4:1 ). Privilege and promise go hand in hand.
2. Receive us--with enlarged hearts ( 2 Corinthians 6:13 ).
we have wronged . . . corrupter . . . defrauded no man--(compare 2 Corinthians 7:9 ). This is the ground on which he asks their reception of (making room for) him in their hearts. We wronged none by an undue exercise of apostolic authority; 2 Corinthians 7:13 gives an instance in point. We have corrupted none, namely, by beguilements and flatteries, while preaching "another Gospel," as the false teachers did ( 2 Corinthians 11:3 2 Corinthians 11:4 ). We have defrauded none by "making a gain" of you ( 2 Corinthians 12:17 ). Modestly he leaves them to supply the positive good which he had done; suffering all things himself that they might be benefited ( 2 Corinthians 7:9 2 Corinthians 7:12 , 2 Corinthians 12:13 ).
3. In excusing myself, I do not accuse you, as though you suspected me of such things [MENOCHIUS], or as though you were guilty of such things; for I speak only of the false apostles [ESTIUS and Greek commentators]. Rather, "as though you were ungrateful and treacherous" [BEZA].
I have said before--in 2 Corinthians 6:11 2 Corinthians 6:12 ; compare Philippians 1:7 .
die and live with you--the height of friendship. I am ready to die and live with you and for you ( Philippians 1:7 Philippians 1:20 Philippians 1:24 , Philippians 2:17 Philippians 2:18 ). Compare as to Christ, John 10:11 .
4. boldness of speech--(compare 2 Corinthians 6:11 ).
glorying of you--Not only do I speak with unreserved openness to you, but I glory (boast) greatly to others in your behalf, in speaking of you.
filled with comfort--at the report of Titus ( 2 Corinthians 7:6 2 Corinthians 7:7 2 Corinthians 7:9 2 Corinthians 7:13 , 2 Corinthians 1:4 ).
exceeding joyful--Greek, I overabound with joy ( 2 Corinthians 7:7 2 Corinthians 7:9 2 Corinthians 7:16 ).
our tribulation--described in 2 Corinthians 7:5 ; also in 2 Corinthians 4:7 2 Corinthians 4:8 , 2 Corinthians 6:4 2 Corinthians 6:5 .
5. Greek, "For also" (for "even"). This verse is thus connected with 2 Corinthians 2:12 2 Corinthians 2:13 , "When I came to Troas, I had no rest in my spirit"; so "also" now, when I came to Macedonia, my "flesh" had no rest (he, by the term "flesh," excepts his spiritual consolations) from "fightings" with adversaries "without" ( 1 Corinthians 5:12 ), and from fears for the Corinthian believers "within" the Church, owing to "false brethren" ( 2 Corinthians 11:26 ). Compare 2 Corinthians 4:8 , Deuteronomy 32:25 , to which he seems to allude.
6. Translate in the order required by the Greek, "But he that comforteth those that are cast down, even God." Those that are of an high spirit are not susceptible of such comfort.
7. when he told us--Greek, "telling us." We shared in the comfort which Titus felt in recording your desire ( 2 Corinthians 7:13 ). He rejoiced in telling the news; we in hearing them [ALFORD].
earnest desire--Greek, "longing desire," namely, to see me [GROTIUS]; or, in general, towards me, to please me.
mourning--over your own remissness in not having immediately punished the sin ( 1 Corinthians 5:1 , &c.). which called forth my rebuke.
fervent mind--Greek, "zeal" (compare 2 Corinthians 7:11 , John 2:17 ).
toward me--Greek, "for me"; for my sake. They in Paul's behalf showed the zeal against the sin which Paul would have shown had he been present.
rejoiced the more--more than before, at the mere coming of Titus.
8. with a letter--Greek, "in the letter" namely, the first Epistle to the Corinthians.
I do not repent, though I did repent--Translate, "I do not regret it, though I did regret it." The Greek words for regret and repent are distinct. Paul was almost regretting, through parental tenderness, his having used rebukes calculated to grieve the Corinthians; but now that he has learned from Titus the salutary effect produced on them, he no longer regrets it.
for I perceive, &c.--This is explanatory of "I did repent" or "regret it," and is parenthetical ("for I perceive that that Epistle did make you sorry, though it was but for a season").
9. Now I rejoice--Whereas "I did repent" or regret having made you sorry by my letter, I rejoice NOW, not that ye were caused sorrow, but that your sorrow resulted in your repentance.
ye sorrowed--rather, as before, "ye were made sorry."
after a godly manner--literally, "according to God," that is, your sorrow having regard to God, and rendering your mind conformable to God ( Romans 14:22 , 1 Peter 4:6 ).
that--Translate in Greek order, "to the end that (compare 2 Corinthians 11:9 ) ye might in nothing receive damage from us," which ye would have received, had your sorrow been other than that "after a godly manner" ( 2 Corinthians 7:10 ).
10. worketh . . . worketh--In the best Greek reading the translation is, "worketh (simply) . . . worketh out." "Sorrow" is not repentance, but, where it is "godly," "worketh" it; that is, contributes or tends to it (the same Greek word is in Romans 13:10 ). The "sorrow of the world" (that is, such as is felt by the worldly) "worketh out," as its result at last, (eternal) death (the same Greek verb is in 2 Corinthians 4:17 ; also
repentance . . . not to be repented of--There is not in the Greek this play on words, so that the word qualified is not "repentance" merely, but "repentance unto salvation"; this, he says, none will ever regret, however attended with "sorrow" at the time. "Repentance" implies a coming to a right mind; "regret" implies merely uneasiness of feeling at the past or present, and is applied even to the remorse of Judas ( Matthew 27:3 ; Greek, "stricken with remorse," not as English Version, "repented himself"); so that, though always accompanying repentance, it is not always accompanied by repentance. "Repentance" removes the impediments in the way of "salvation" (to which "death," namely, of the soul, is opposed). "The sorrow of the world" is not at the sin itself, but at its penal consequences: so that the tears of pain are no sooner dried up, than the pleasures of ungodliness are renewed. So Pharaoh, Exodus 9:27 Exodus 9:28-30 ; and Saul, 1 Samuel 15:23-30 . Compare Isaiah 9:13 , Revelation 16:10 Revelation 16:11 . Contrast David's "godly sorrow," 2 Samuel 12:13 , and Peter's, Matthew 26:75 .
11. Confirmation of 2 Corinthians 7:10 from the Corinthians' own experience.
carefulness--solicitude, literally, "diligence"; opposed to their past negligence in the matter.
in you--Greek "for you."
yea--not only "carefulness" or diligence, but also "clearing of yourselves," namely, to me by Titus: anxiety to show you disapproved of the deed.
indignation--against the offender.
fear--of the wrath of God, and of sinning any more [SCLATER and CALVIN]; fear of Paul [GROTIUS], ( 1 Corinthians 4:2 1 Corinthians 4:19-21 ).
vehement desire--longing for restoration to Paul's approval [CONYBEARE and HOWSON]. "Fear" is in spite of one's self. "Longing desire" is spontaneous, and implies strong love and an aspiration for correction [CALVIN]. "Desire" for the presence of Paul, as he had given them the hope of it ( 1 Corinthians 4:19 , 16:5 ) [GROTIUS and ESTIUS].
zeal--for right and for God's honor against what is wrong. Or, "for the good of the soul of the offender" [BENGEL].
revenge--Translate, "Exacting of punishment" ( 1 Corinthians 5:2 1 Corinthians 5:3 ). Their "carefulness" was exhibited in the six points just specified: "clearing of themselves," and "indignation" in relation to themselves; "fear" and "vehement desire" in respect to the apostle; "zeal" and "revenge" in respect to the offender [BENGEL]; (compare 2 Corinthians 7:7 ).
In all--the respects just stated.
clear--Greek, "pure," namely, from complicity in the guilty deed. "Approved yourselves," Greek, "commended yourselves." Whatever suspicion of complicity rested on you ( 1 Corinthians 5:2 1 Corinthians 5:6 ) through your former remissness, you have cleared off by your present strenuousness in reprobating the deed.
12. though I wrote unto you--"making you sorry with my letter" ( 2 Corinthians 7:8 ).
his cause that suffered wrong--the father of the incestuous person who had his father's wife ( 1 Corinthians 5:1 ). The father, thus it seems, was alive.
that our care for you, &c.--Some of the oldest manuscripts read thus, "That YOUR care for us might be made manifest unto you," &c. But the words, "unto you," thus, would be rather obscure; still the obscurity of the genuine reading may have been the very reason for the change being made by correctors into the reading of English Version. ALFORD explains the reading: "He wrote in order to bring out their zeal on his behalf (that is, to obey his command), and make it manifest to themselves in God's sight, that is, to bring out among them their zeal to regard and obey him." But some of the oldest manuscripts and versions (including the Vulgate and old Italian) support English Version. And the words, "to you," suit it better than the other reading. 2 Corinthians 2:4 , "I wrote . . . that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you," plainly accords with it, and disproves ALFORD'S assertion that English Version is inconsistent with the fact as to the purpose of his letter. His writing, he says, was not so much for the sake of the individual offender, or the individual offended, but from his "earnest care" or concern for the welfare of the Church.
13. The oldest manuscripts read thus, "Therefore (Greek, 'for this cause,' namely, because our aim has been attained) we have been (English Version, 'were,' is not so accurate) comforted; yea (Greek, 'but'), in OUR comfort we exceedingly the more joyed for the joy of Titus," &c. (compare 2 Corinthians 7:7 ).
14. anything--that is, at all.
I am not ashamed--"I am not put to shame," namely, by learning from Titus that you did not realize the high character I gave him of you.
as . . . all things . . . in truth, even so our boasting . . . is found a truth--As our speaking in general to you was true ( 2 Corinthians 1:18 ), so our particular boasting to Titus concerning you is now, by his report, proved to be truth (compare 2 Corinthians 9:2 ). Some oldest manuscripts read expressly, "concerning you"; this in either reading is the sense.
15. his inward affection--literally, "bowels" (compare 2 Corinthians 6:12 , Philippians 1:8 , 2:1 , Colossians 3:12 ).
obedience--( 2 Corinthians 2:9 ).
fear and trembling--with trembling anxiety to obey my wishes, and fearful lest there should be aught in yourselves to offend him and me ( 2 Corinthians 7:11 ; compare 1 Corinthians 2:3 ).
16. therefore--omitted in the oldest manuscripts. The conclusion is more emphatical without it.
that I have confidence in you in all things--rather, as Greek, "that in everything I am of good courage concerning (literally, 'in the case of') you," as contrasted with my former doubts concerning you.

So this is my first pregnancy, and I was skating by with not gaining weight until week 13/14. I am now about to enter week 17, and the scale has gone up and back down, but my baby belly is becoming prominent . I haven't heard one word from the docs about my weight, but we'll see what tomorrow's appointment brings. I am also high risk because I am an older Mom and diabetic. I was told to only gain 15 lbs. I plan on sticking to that as closely as possible mainly for the health of my baby. So no pints of ice cream, or boxes of cookies for me as of yet. Happy Pregnancy Ladies!
I'm so sorry about your miscarriage I will be praying for you and your family!
I have been doing well with making sure to make good food choices. It has been pretty easy with that since my husband and I were already healthy eaters before my pregnancy. The issue I was having before in my first trimester was that only carbs and meat kept my tummy happy. I am finally able to eat veggies again! Yay! The sight or smell before made my tummy churn! As of now, I have only gained 10 pounds fro my pre-pregnancy weight. My OB said to not gain anymore though, since she only wants her patients to gain 10 pounds halfway through their pregnancy. I'm 17 weeks this Thursday, so almost there. I am starting to incorprate exerice into my routine again as well, so I think that will help balance things out as well. I still feel 'fat' & pudgy, but it's getting better. Thanks for all the info. & tips!
I hear ya on the no veggies, I have had some major aversions to veggies and other things I "should" be eating. Here is to hoping we can adjust our diets soon!

Highlights: Austria (Vienna, Salzburg)
As one of the most beautiful countries in the world, Austria is undoubtedly a very special place with immense scenic beauty, best highlighted in the famous movie The Sound of Music. Start your tour in Vienna, the Imperial capital of the Habsburg Empire, with vivid images of a time long ago, complete with Habsburg palaces, trotting white horses, old ladies in fur coats and the famous Ringstrasse. Once you are in Vienna, Schonnbrunn tour is an absolute must. Explore Austria and follow the life of Mozart by enjoying a concert at the Mozart Residence, where the famous composer used to perform concerts. Continue your tour in Salzburg, also known as "Mozart Town" where you will receive insight into the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque aspects of the city as Mozart saw it. After the car tour, you will visit the newly reopened Mozart Residence, on Makart Square. Once you have arrived in the city, you will love the mountainous landscape and the fresh air that only Salzburg can offer.

Fredericktown ferry faces life as museum
The Fredericktown ferryboat may be running on borrowed time. The River Town Program revealed a plan to turn the vessel, one of the last of its kind in continued use, into a museum.

FREDERICKTOWN – Facing an operating budget deeply in the red and falling ridership, the floundering ferryboat in Fredericktown has been struggling to stay afloat. But if the historic vessel does have to be permanently shored, organizers hope it will rise to live again as a museum on the banks of the Monongahela River.
Dennis Slagle, president of Fredericktown Chamber of Commerce, held a public meeting at the East Bethlehem Volunteer fire hall Thursday along with representatives from the nonprofit River Town Program to reveal a plan to turn the aging Ferry Boat Frederick into a permanent museum.
"I believe the writing is on the wall," Slagle said. "I don't think, as a matter of fact, I know that if that grant is off the table, that ferry doesn't stand a snowball's chance."
Slagle was speaking of a more than $900,000 grant county officials had hoped to put toward the ferryboat. He said, after speaking to both Washington and Fayette county commissioners, receiving the grant did not seem likely.
The new plan would permanently dry dock the riverboat, turning it into an outdoor museum. A nearby abandoned gas station would be razed and parking and green areas would be installed. The ramp leading up to the ferry off Water Street would be converted into a river access for boats and kayaks.
"I don't know what else could be done after all these years," Slagle said. "We're trying to preserve it; we just can't figure out any kind of way to preserve it on the water."
Before the Mon Valley Expressway opened, the ferryboat operation averaged about 200 vehicles per day. Since the bridge over the Monongahela River on Route 43 opened in July, daily ridership has slipped to about 90. Many of the riders of the ferry work at State Correctional Institution at LaBelle, Fayette County.
A ferry has crossed the river in Fredericktown for nearly 200 years. The current steel vessel, which uses a steel line to navigate between banks, has been in operation since 1973.
The ferry has annual operating costs of about $200,000 and is roughly $145,00 in the red. Washington and Fayette counties pay an equal share of the budget.
While many at the meeting thought the idea was a good strategy under the current circumstances, some at the meeting did not want to see the ferry taken off the water.
Larry Rutherford, 50, of LaBelle, has spent the last 30 years as a ferryboat operator. He said the fiscal picture painted by news outlets was more dire than the reality.
"I don't know if you're going to make up the money, I really don't," Rutherford said. "But it's not losing as much as they're saying. All I got from this meeting was they wanted to clean up that building."

Bulls go ice cold in fourth quarter as Celtics win 71-69
BY JOE COWLEY email@example.com February 13, 2013 9:04PM
Boston Celtics forward Jeff Green (8) drives to the basket through the defense of Chicago Bulls forward Taj Gibson (22), center Joakim Noah (13) and forward Jimmy Butler (21) during the first quarter of an NBA basketball game in Boston, Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2013. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola)
Article Extras
Updated: February 13, 2013 9:10PM
BOSTON – Doc Rivers and Tom Thibodeau had dinner together on Tuesday night.
Head coach and his former assistant. Teacher and former student.
No word on who picked up the tab.
As far as who ended up paying on Wednesday night when the Celtics hosted the Bulls at the TF Garden, it was all Thibodeau, as he watched his team go ice cold in the fourth and head into the All-Star Break with two straight losses, while dropping four of their last five in the 71-69 loss.
Then again, it didn't help the Bulls' cause to have 22 turnovers and go scoreless for almost six minutes in the fourth, as they surrendered a seven-point lead with 10:34 left in the game.
As offensively challenged as the Bulls were, after they forced Boston in a five-second call out of timeout with 48.4 seconds left, Marco Belinelli hit a layup to cut the lead to just one. The two teams traded baskets, and when Paul Pierce made two free throws with 10 seconds left, the Bulls were forced into scramble time after Nate Robinson was forced to the line.
He missed his second free throw, and when Taj Gibson finally ended up with the ball, his desperation shot at the horn missed.
The Bulls were led by Belinelli's 12 points, while Boston was led by 14 points by Brandon Bass.
Not that the Bulls (30-22) didn't put them in good position to win the game through the first two quarters, as they battled back from a 24-15 first-quarter deficit to outscore Boston 21-11 in the second quarter and take a 36-35 lead into the half.
Thank the Bulls bench for that.
Of the 21 points scored in that second stanza, 19 were courtesy of the bench, led by Belinelli's seven points. Even rookie Marquis Teague made an appearance, and was actually productive in his 12 minutes of work, scoring five points and handing out two assists, while giving starter Robinson a breather.
If the Celtics thought the going was rough in the second, they hadn't seen anything yet, with the Bulls defense suffocating them to just eight points and taking a 49-43 lead into the fourth.
And it wouldn't be a Celtics-Bulls game if Kevin Garnett and Joakim Noah didn't have at least some type of incident.
The latest came at the start of the final 12 minutes when the exchanged elbows and arm slaps, until the whistle blew and Noah was given the foul. The reaction for Noah was to smile and clap in Garnett's face.
It was after a Jan. 18 win in the Garden that Noah was again critical of Garnett and the way he carries himself on the court.
"[I was] just playing defense," Noah said then. "Just playing sound defense, just contesting his shots. He's a helluva competitor. He's always on some bulls---. Always on some bulls--- … Just trying to throw elbows. Cheap shots, just trying to get you off your game. But he's a vet. He's been doing this a long time, but it's all right.''
During the 2010 playoffs, Noah also took some shots at Garnett.
"He's a dirty player, man," Noah said at the time. "He's a dirty player. That's messed up, man ... I'm hurting right now because of an elbow he threw. It's unbelievable. He's a dirty player. It's one thing to be competitive and compete and all that, but don't be a dirty player.''

DirecTV has indicated (email) that they can't offer Coyotes coverage from Fox AZ on Sports Pack to NM residents due to unspecified costs, thus will black out broadcasts and, because NM is Coyotes broadcast territory, will also black out Center Ice coverage, thus leaving NM in the dark for Coyotes viewing. This could spill over into many other markets with similar circumstances. Has anyone else experienced this communication from DirecTV?
I experienced a similar communication from DirecTV... albeit back in the mid-90's.
Had DirecTV back when I lived in So CA, with NHL CI.
A buddy with a weekend home in Lake Havasu was going to order DirecTV w/ NHL CI for the place until I called DirecTV and confirmed the "home territory" for both the Kings and Ducks extended into AZ, and that they both would be blacked-out.
Checked again a season and a half later, after the Jets relocated to America "obstructed" West Arena, and not only did they not lift the LA/ANA blackouts, all three were blacked out in Havasu.
The NFL had always been a 75 mile radius from the home stadium if not sold out, in consideration of ticket holders within a realistic commute.
All the other leagues amounts to a land grab.

Mason Contractors: Stop Giving Money Away By George Hedley Every dollar counts, and every penny wasted is precious. Losing small change on your construction projects can add up to thousands of dollars at the end of the year. So, what are you to do? Maximizing profit must be a top priority, right along with getting your projects completed on-time. Setting aside a little time to focus on increasing your net profit will boost your bottom line and allow you to make a lot more money. When you're too busy working on the jobs, scheduling crews, or carrying out work tasks, you don't take or have enough time to focus on finances, financial tools, and strategies that can help you hit your goals. Consider implementing these two proven strategies to maximize your bottom line and grow your bank balance. Accurate general conditions General conditions in construction include the onsite administration, supervision, temporary facilities, temporary protection, and soft costs required to get your projects built. Estimating accurate general conditions for projects can be a simple task, when the estimator is accountable to get it right. Most estimators use unit prices that are rarely checked against the actual final job costs. For example, creating a budget for temporary toilets seems easy. An eight-month job should cost 8 x $100 per month = $800. But, when the field superintendent sees there are 40 men on the job, more than one toilet and more than one servicing a week are required. This might increase the actual job cost by as much as $200 per month. These extra costs will add up to lots of lost cash. The estimator's No. 1 job is to calculate an accurate estimate of what it will cost to build each project. After every job, he must look at the actual job costs to see if he miscalculated or under-estimated any of the project line items. Before pricing every job, the estimator should get with the project manager, field superintendent or foreman to determine what will be required to run the project he currently is bidding. Take a hard look to determine if you are charging the right price for: · Project manager, superintendent and their vehicles · Project photos, sign, as-built drawings, etc. · Temporary facilities, trailers, toilets, sanitation, etc. · Temporary utilities, electricity, power poles, water, phones, etc. · Temporary fencing, gates, barricades, site lighting, heating, etc. · Safety, first aid, shoring, access roads, security guards, etc. · Water quality control, dust control, etc. · Trash, cleanup, window washing, final punch list, etc. Charge for all the changes on change orders Change orders are written documents amending the original contract agreement between parties memorializing an additional or changed scope, price, time, schedule, terms or work item on a construction project. Most often, they require additional money for the additional work required by the change. As contractors, if you had $10 for every extra work item your company, project manager, field superintendent or foreman did without a signed change order before the work was performed, could you have retired several years ago? When your customer asks for extra work, why is it so hard to get it in writing? Everyone knows the contract requires signatures on change orders prior to starting extra work. But when you postpone getting a formal approval for extra work until days, weeks or months after the event occurred, you have no leverage with your customer. Your customer is in a great position to offer a reduced, discounted price with you; change his mind; or decide the additional work wasn't really extra and should have been included in the original contract. To avoid this problem, present a complete cost breakdown for every proposed change order your customer requests in advance of starting the work. Use a standardized format, cost template, and rate sheet to assure you include all actual costs. Every time extra work is performed, the followings costs occur: · Project management to process the paperwork · Supervision to supervise the work · Accounting to process the payment · General condition costs as the job will take longer: - Trailer, toilets, water and utilities - Power and power poles - Trucks and equipment - Small tools, ladders, bins, etc. - Small items, nuts, bolts, hardware, etc. - Temporary facilities, fencing, protection, barricades, etc. · Liability insurance · Overhead and profit Don't shortchange your company by not asking for everything you deserve. I see most change order requests presented as labor, materials and hard costs, plus a markup without extra required soft costs for the many items listed above. If your company does $5 million in annual sales, of which $250,000 is performed as change orders or on a cost-plus basis, not charging for everything you spend can cost you as much as $25,000 or more per year in lost revenue or net profit for things that you actually had to pay for. Making money is not easy in construction. Look for every advantage you have to boost your net profit margin. Take the time to implement these tools and send me an email of the other tools you use to increase your net numbers. Email

According to Ruleville Police Chief Ernie Scarber, Ruleville Central High School received a bomb threat around 10:30 a.m.
"We are still investigating the situation. Any person who calls and makes a false bomb threat could be charged with a federal offense," said Scarber.
Although the high school received the threat, the elementary school also took precautionary measures and evacuated students to a safe location.
"We are adjacent to the high school and we decided to take the necessary precautions. We do drills to prepare students on a regular basis — there were not any serious problems on yesterday and our students knew what to do," said Ruleville Central Elementary Principal Katherine Barber.
"Everything went smoothly," she added.
According to Scarber, 318 students were evacuated and preceded promptly to New Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church, which is located 1,000 feet away from the school.
"The church is part of our crisis management plan. We use the church as a central location and at the beginning of the year we made sure that parents knew that in case of an emergency, children could be picked up from this location," she said.
Barber said she is very disappointed that someone would endanger the lives of the students.
"When people do things like this they fail to consider how many lives are affected as a result of a threat such as this. We are a struggling district and instructional time is vital," said Barber.
"An event such as this interrupts the educational process and it interrupts parents because they have to leave work and come to pick up their children," she added.
Barber said that she and her teachers tried to keep the children as calm as possible during the entire procedure.
"We did not allow the children to really know what was going on because we did not want to upset them," she added.
"I had one teacher to tell the students that we were just having a drill because we wanted to see how quickly their parents would come pick them up and that kind of kept them calm," continued Barber.
Barber said that she is very proud of how teachers and parents responded to the situation and she wants the minds of her teachers and students to be at ease.
Ruleville Central High School did not wish to comment on the matter.

This is the real deal!
I have a 4 year old son and a 5 year old daughter. We've been buying them toys from US Toy Co since they were born. They always are built great, and the kids love them. This fire set is no exception. It's made out of solid wood, and everything just looks incredible. The quality is super high, and my son will spend hours upon hours creating scenes with the firetruck and firemen. It really is an amazing toy that's worth every penny and more than you will spend

She is the starting Chaser on the Holyhead Harpies and is playing Seeker for the first Unified United Kingdom Quidditch World Cup team.

And there's always Harry Potter, the other part of her dream. Can she or does she still want both of them as the main part of her life?

"My name is Elia Shacklebolt. I am sixteen years old. I am the daughter of Kingsley Shacklebolt, an Auror, and his wife, Eliana, who died giving birth to me. I take after my mother in looks, but after my father in skill. I am a sixth-year Ravenclaw and a Prefect at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and I may very well be on the road to being Head Girl next year, if I keep my anger in check. This is who I am, and this is who I have always been. At least, that's what they tell me..."It started as a dream. A vision of Azkaban, of a woman who was calling out to Elia, calling for her to come and find her. People tell her that they're just her dreams, but Elia knows otherwise--and that's what scares her. She knows they aren't just dreams, she knows they mean something. And she is determined to find the truth. But she doesn't realize how terrifying the truth really is, the truth of who she really is, and what she's really meant to do. And by the time she realizes it, by the time she learns that some truths are best forgotten, it will be too late to turn back...

It all started with one vial. Denis Simioni received this small glass bottle from a relative who told her the golden oil inside was an amazing treatment for damaged hair. Never one to believe in miracle cures, Denis left the vial unopened. Then one day when a trip to the pool left her hair dry and brittle, she decided to give it a try. The remarkable effects of this oil astounded her to the point that she set off on a trip to Central America to learn more about its source. There, she discovered that the name of this mysterious oil was Ojon, which seemed the perfect name for the hair care collection that she developed around the oil.
The Ojon hair care collection contains pure oil derived from trees in Central America. The nourishing, hydrating oil is incredibly rare; 8,000 nuts are necessary to produce just 3 cups of it. Because of the presence of the oil in their formulas, Ojon products are uniquely able to reverse damage caused by free radicals and other environmental stressors, restoring hair's health.

Ojon Customer Reviews
Ojon Oil is great - 12/26/2013 7:19:31 PM I used this product on my hair! I'm African American I leave it on all night and then get up and wash my hair. It feels great and my hair is very managable. I love Ojon OilNot Elite - 1/6/2013 5:18:59 PM For Thatguy, it's an okay conditioner. The fragrance is kind of wacky but it does seem to work great. No tangles and hair seems thicker after using it for a week.I Like It - 6/15/2012 7:30:42 AM The scent of this product is different than anything else I have used, While neither pleasant nor unpleasant, most of the scent dissipates after application. I have long, color treated blonde hair and it definitely keeps my ends under control. It also makes my hair feel softer.not so good - 6/14/2012 11:37:23 AM I usually like Ojon products, have used their intensive hair conditioner and it worked well, but this shampoo totally dried my hair out.Not so awesome - 5/1/2012 9:29:54 AM I really wanted to like this but my hair had other ideas. It's easy to use and smells alright. It did add some volume to my hair but it also made it feel sticky and tangle like crazy. I have tailbone length hair. I tried to use less product but still had the same affect. I also tried it with and without another conditioner. I'm afraid I'll have to pass this one on to a friend.Great for colored damaged hair - 3/14/2012 9:19:28 PM I have fine, bleached hair. this product works great. i apply it before going to bed , next day i wash my hair and it makes a big difference. some one mentioned the unpleasant fragrance of this oil. i find it nice and natural ( it smells like chocolate to me). just rub in in your hands first and start applying from end going toward roots.Pretty Good Conditioner - 3/14/2012 12:57:46 PM This isn't my favorite conditioner, but it is pretty good. It smells nice and leaves hair feeling conditioned, but not as moisturizing as I hoped it would be.Best Split-End Repair - 11/5/2011 6:14:19 AM Ojon Damage Reverse Restorative pretty much describes this conditioner to a tee. My hair is sleek, shiny and less flyaway than it has been in years. I color my hair to cover gray, use a flatiron and have bad split ends. This is my new best friend.Great find - 9/26/2011 7:13:39 AM This hair product performs as described, spritzing hair after shampooing with a moisturizing, leave-in conditioner. The result is easy to manage hair, whether you style by blow-drying or not, and ending with healthy-looking shine. That final result is not oily or heavy, making Ojon the perfect antidote to dry, lifeless hair. There is also no adverse effect on the skin-- on the scalp or hair line-- an important consideration for me as I have sensitive skin.revitalizing - 8/25/2011 7:01:52 PM very good for color treated/processed bleached hair. helps restore coarse hair/revitalizes lustre. prmotes hair growth -
Learn More About Ojon
The key, transforming ingredient in Ojon hair treatments is a natural botanical oil that has been known to the native Miskito people of Central America for centuries. Derived from a native nut-bearing tree, the extracted oil provides lipids that closely match the natural oils found in human hair. When carefully formulated into the hair products offered by Ojon, it helps to strengthen, repair and renew hair damaged by over-styling and excessive coloring, stressed by pollution and diet, or simply a victim of the aging process.
Adhering to the highest standards of free trade, Ojon works closely with MOPAWI, a non-profit group dedicated to sustainable development with the native Miskito and Garifuna peoples of the Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve in northeastern Honduras, to acquire the oil from thousands of local producers. The nuts are gathered from wild trees - not plantations - as a renewable resource and processed in the traditional manner by local workers. This special oil (it takes the entire nut production of one tree to produce just 3 cups of oil) is formulated with up to 30 other naturally derived ingredients to make the different Ojon hair care products, each of which is subjected to rigorous clinical, consumer and safety testing. The formulators are dedicated to pure, natural products, free of parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, mineral oil, PABA, petrolatum, paraffin, DEA and animal ingredients (except for cruelty-free honey and beeswax). The result is a line of effective treatments, ready to provide healthy, lustrous hair, full of body, bounce and volume.

NASHVILLE, TENN. — Give most country songwriters the phrase Southern Comfort Zone, and most of them immediately will go to whiskey.
Brad Paisley's mind works differently.
"Would that song be about hanging out around a bonfire in the middle of the country and holding a certain brand of whiskey?" wonders the singer, whose new album "Wheelhouse" features a song by that name. "Or is that about leaving there and what you learn and how you'll never be the same? To me, the one that felt like it hadn't been written would be the one about leaving."
"That sort of set the tone for where things were going" for Paisley's new album. Throughout his 14-year recording career, Paisley, 40, has built a reputation for having a singular perspective: offering humorous takes on pop culture in "Online" and "Celebrity"; turning "Whiskey Lullaby," a song about two suicides, into a massive hit; and, most presciently, celebrating technology and globalization in his 2009 single "Welcome to the Future."
That's a markedly different approach from the norm for male country singers, whose songs are more likely to defensively celebrate and elevate a "country" lifestyle.
"As far as what's my wheelhouse, what's my comfort zone, that's growing a little bit" on the new album, Paisley said. "If things that are way outside of it enhanced my telling a story ... that's what I wanted to do."
The most interesting songs on "Wheelhouse" make an attempt to broaden perspectives, both Paisley's and his audience's. A trip to Paris inspired an unconventional love song, "The Mona Lisa." In "Karate," which features a spoken-word segment from Charlie Daniels, a woman in an abuse-filled marriage chooses to level the playing field by taking secret martial arts classes. "Those Crazy Christians" can be seen as an effort to explain the behavior of a significant part of his fan base to those who don't share their beliefs.
"I'm really proud of that song," said Paisley, who considers "Those Crazy Christians": a gospel song written from a nonbeliever's perspective. However, he added, "I still think there will be people who misunderstand what I'm saying, but welcome to the Internet. But that is the job of art, to promote discussion."
No song on "Wheelhouse" has garnered more discussion — primarily negative — than "Accidental Racist" (written by Lee Thomas Miller and rapper LL Cool J) which is, at its heart, a discussion itself. The backlash came almost immediately from several websites including Gawker, which called it a "real, horrible song" and accused Paisley of "passive-aggressively defend(ing) the South."
"I thought it was bold and courageous for a guy in his genre to want to address that topic," said LL Cool J, who performs on the duet with Paisley. "If he's willing to take that bold step to bring about some healing, bring about some dialogue, get people to talk, especially at this time in America, I'm with it 100 [percent]."
Paisley was doing plenty of explaining on the album's publicity rounds before and after its release in April, telling Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show": "Racism has been on my mind," he said of what inspired the song. "Last year, we had some really powerful movies deal with it really well. We had 'Django [Unchained] and 'Lincoln,' and I thought maybe it would be an interesting conversation between country music and rap music to deal with this subject between two individuals in a loving and understanding way. ... So maybe if something good comes about from it — my prayer is that it'll make something good happen."

Business as an Agent of World Benefit
The Fowler Center for Sustainable Value is the academic center that bridges the gap between theory and practice for both management practitioners and scholars. Through intimate, meaningful collaborations with individuals from a diverse range of organizations, the Fowler Center guides managers to embed sustainability in their core business, creating value for society and the environment in ways that create even more value for their customers and shareholders.
The Fowler Center's projects, education programs, and corporate products are informed by two core concepts: appreciative inquiry and sustainable value. In 2014, the center welcomed participants from around the world to the third Global Forum for Business as an Agent of World Benefit at Case Western Reserve. Structured like an appreciative inquiry summit, the forum also featured prominent speakers on topics related to sustainable value.
Sustainable Value
Sustainable Value is defined by Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior, Chris Laszlo, PhD, as a dynamic state that occurs when a company creates ongoing value for its shareholders and stakeholders. By 'doing good' for society and the environment, the company does even better for its customers and shareholders than it otherwise would.
The shift from shareholder value to Sustainable Value is the natural outcome of a new external environment characterized by declining natural resources, radical transparency, and rising expectations. Sustainable Value is not just a better environmental strategy; it is a response to a radically different market reality in which the economic, ecological, and social spheres are unified into a single integrated value creation space.
Appreciative Inquiry
Appreciative Inquiry (AI) emerged at the Weatherhead School in the 1980s as David Cooperrider and Ron Fry discovered the power of positive inquiry for igniting innovation and whole-system change. Their concept of AI has become a global movement with tens of thousands of practitioners on six continents—all working (1) to identify the unique strengths of individuals, businesses, and systems, and (2) to leverage and unite those strengths to greater effect throughout whole systems.
