The kayak hits the rollers, and glides along the wooden planks, over the sea wall and becomes anchored to a post by its single braided thread. I nervously climb down a metal pool ladder onto the center of the kayak, solely relying on my questionable sense of balance to allow gravity to keep all orderly so that I’m floating on top of the seafoam green waters. Using the power of my arms and a double oar like a butter knife, I icing the top of the sea, interrupting its smoothness to create a muted reflection of the sky that was once crystal clear. It disrupts the layer of biofilm that has formed on it surface, and I see a sandpiper swooping down for the nutrients with their feathery tongues and the tips of their bills. As I leave the canal and the harbor of my temporary home and blade my way to the middle of the bay – I feel like I’m shrinking into the setting – and feel insignificant. I see a cruise ship, packed with passengers and the promise of a breathtaking view as the sun is pulled towards the sea’s floor by the strings that are tethered to the moon as it rises- I wonder if anyone can see me. I then see the cables that suspend the Skyway bridge sailed out across the Gulf. It’s deck is the road to connect cars to the sunniest city while its concrete pillars peak at 175 feet to allow boats to shuttle cargo and crew under its hull to ports of call. The panaromaic views of the Bay leaves me paralyzed in its beauty. I hold the oar straight across my bended knees, I surrender and give control to the current and it takes my canoe gently north. I whisper… Thank you God. My kayaking into it’s big scene gives me the gift of observing without having to serve any need. All my small self can do is receive, give thanks and try to paddle out of its scene without leaving a print. I take the memory and the knowing that God’s love is so wide and so deep for each of us.
And He sees. All.
Do not worry about your life… Walk into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They don’t fuss with their appearance—but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them. If God gives such attention to the wildflowers, most of them never even seen, don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you?
What I’m trying to do here is get you to relax, not be so preoccupied with getting so you can respond to God’s giving (Luke 12:22, NIV 1984)


I am getting really burner rips DVDs just fine. Especially if it is a $1000+ dollar gaming computer. I have lap top Toshibais set to the correct voltage.Each client will have itsmotherboard, not the problem.

When he first handed me the cleaned-out coffee can with all of my pieces inside I bit down on one like a prospector testing gold. The feel of Scrabble tiles without the letters, the heft of bone, each one a variant shade of beige. My tongue assessed the fine grit of something vaguely tasting of shoe sole.
“Don’t eat it!” Jim said.
“I’m not eating it.” It left the tang of worn leather on my lips, and then I set the square back down.
“Why would you do that?” he asked.
“I’m not eating it. I’m not doing anything.” Just like I hadn’t been nudging my fingernail into a piece of stale gum, right at that very moment, stuck under the tabletop and relishing the way the gum softened its resistance. Which I had been. “So. What is it?”
He leaned closer. “I know how much you like old art and stuff.”
“Yeah. You know. That book you have,” he gestured with a jerk of his chin to the coffee table in the adjacent room. “About the Romans.”
That book wasn’t mine. It was something I’d bought for a quarter at a garage sale for my landlord, but then she died. She’d fallen through the floor of her attic with a cashbox in her arms. It had a great frayed spine, that book, where the cloth binding had split, giving way to the cardboard underneath, a great fringe of string to work into little knots between my finger and thumb. Little knots for hours.
“Right,” I said.
He’d been backpacking from country to country, filming a documentary on how, for example, the same gesture might be crude in one region and a sign of welcome in another. He’d said the film would demonstrate how we’re fundamentally hardwired to misunderstand each other. He’d even gotten a grant to do it, but right then, as he wrapped a hand over my knuckles and squeezed, he made it seem like the whole point of the film and the grant was this can.
I stirred my hand amongst what Jim explained were the unhinged remnants of a mosaic he’d bought on the sly from some man who’d kept them hidden in the springs of his car seat. I stirred, and a thread-thin itch sprung from the bend in one finger and traveled up, twined in the veins of my arm, too deep to reach with anything except maybe one touch of my tongue to one small tile. That should do it, I thought. I thumbed one into my palm and covered my mouth as if to cough. Disguised it in my lifelines. Pushed it between my fingers like a coin in a vanishing act. My tongue met the ancient grit again in the shelter of my hand. Jim’s eyes narrowed. And then ….
“God, I thought you’d be grateful.” He hung his head. “It came all the way from Tel Aviv.”
Tel Aviv. It felt more like Spain, maybe. Maybe someplace high up in the mountains with trees propped like the gnarled spines of windswept umbrellas. Really, I just wanted to know what it should look like. And why, of all the many things about me worth knowing, he’d think of a wrecked, twenty-five cent book that belonged to a dead landlord when he thought of me.
“You understand, don’t you, that you don’t even know what it’s supposed to be,” I said, taking the can up in my embrace and angling away from him. “Mosaics aren’t puzzles.”
The can with its tiles was roughly the weight of a bag of cat food and seemed to get heavier the further I walked with it from Jim still sitting at our kitchen table. It had grown to the density of a canon ball somewhere across the den, and by the time I’d reached the bedroom I was on all fours scooting it across the threshold. Then it felt like Tel Aviv.
When I’d sat back on my heels for a breath, a part of me flickered out like a spent bulb or a dead pixel on a computer screen. “Jim!” I called. I tried to poke a finger in the space, but it butted up against nothingness. Lamplight winked right through. “See this?” I said to Jim coming into the room where I sat in a puddle of my clothes, running a hand over the empty spaces in my abdomen. Bit by bit I was traveling away, we thought. Maybe I’d join myself, all together, in Toronto. Or in an industrial coffee can. Or in the closet. “Check the closet,” I pointed.
And while Jim rummaged around looking for me, I gave the tile tucked between my fingers another lingering taste. Then slipped it under my tongue. Then spit it out and fitted it into one of the gaps that had materialized in my shin. It popped right in. I kept going, haphazardly at first, and then I got creative with the shading.
By the time Jim turned again from the closet, I was replacing the missing pieces of me as soon as the spaces were made.
“You aren’t in the closet,” he informed me. Then his brows scrunched together when he discovered the piecemeal silhouette of my mosaic knee.
When I moved I made the same sound the tiles had made shifting in their can when he’d first pushed the can into my outstretched fingers. My tongue raked along the new grooves in my wrist. My fingertips drew small circles across chiaroscuro ribs. And there was no more itch.


A law firm japanese loli image boards this is the best vid ever i have been waiting to see mandingo fuck pinky she is not fat anymore
asian lolicon sasha is the most intense girl in porn, wow i love her, she's so sexy, thin, gorgeous, and does most anything, love her
pthc loli very hoit wet threesome, can understand the two girls , his cock looks great and he pounds them good, deep and hard just as they need it, love it how deep he is shooting in her, would love to join and receive his load
lolicon 3d gallery For good sexlife, looks like better wiser approach than messing around with peers. I think some things in attitudes and general recommendations should change. Truthfully, I would prefer young daughter to date men like that in environments like that, than wasting time with young ones who have but bad attitudes and nothing to offer in life in overall.
loli hentai gallery OMG I would love to do this with my husband. I wouldn't even make him get fucked, just to have two guys at once....ahh! I've always dreamed of having my pussy eaten by a man being fucked in the ass!


I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word;....(2 Timothy 4:1,2)
Recently I was again exposed to the negative aspects of "topical preaching." So often, I am tempted to say "always" but won't, so often, the preacher takes his heart's Topic and drags in every scripture verse he can find in support of his own view as he builds his "case."
The result is a man-made conglomeration of error and half-truths and the Word of God lies mangled at the preacher's feet. I speak as one who has fallen into this trap more than once. I have hobby-horses just like most men do. I have "proof-texts" too. But that imperative "preach the Word" does not mean: preach what you think is right and torture the scriptures as necessary in order to support your theme.
The art of expository preaching, where one preaches through a text verse-by-verse, protects both the preacher and the hearers from much of the error which can come from the work of sinful men, even regenerated sinners. The Word acts as a restraint upon our passion to promote our own ideas and pet theories. We should be, by this framework, held close to the intent of the Holy Spirit Who penned the words of the text. It is so easy to grab a verse somewhere because it "sounds good" in support of our topic when in fact, it is being used out of context, either grammatical or historical, or both.
"Preach the Word" means preach His Word, not ours.

We have some exciting news from Gerrys of Morecambe as we are proud to welcome Read more →
Well, after much planning and preparation the day of the trip thankfully arrived. We’d spent what felt like hundreds of hours collecting thousands of crabs, pumping hundreds of worms and buying up the squid & mackerel stockpiles of several small states for the planned 8 hour trip
The only thing we couldn’t really plan on was the weather and the promised 6mph easterlies, which would have left the sea looking like the proverbial millpond, unfortunately didn’t materialise. Instead the wind forecast had swung round completely to westerly and freshened slightly to 8mph. The skipper of the Blue Mink Andy Bradbury was more than happy to take us out, and we were grateful the trip was still on.
Fresh faced and eager, Myself, Paul, TerryG, Lee, GazzaD, Phill and Ronnie (Buzz) met at the prearranged pick up point on the beach at Fleetwood prom near the lifeboat station….unfortunately for Chris (Smokin), he had to drop out due to an unexpected stroke of good fortune, he had a last minute job interview, fingers crossed it went ok mate
We all had a chuckle at Lee’s tackle box….it certainly explained a few things!
As we sailed down the Wyre estuary, a few anxious glances were thrown at the white horses in the distance over the Lune Deeps. Luckily we were headed in the opposite direction to fish opposite Anchorsholme area, though it soon became apparent that with the wind coming from the west, the sea had taken the chance to build up a large and persistent swell. Not really a problem whilst under way but once at anchor the potential was there for a buffeting, particularly as it would be hitting us side on
At the first stop Andy told us he had caught good smoothhound, tope & bull huss the previous day, so we baited up with a mixture of baits…some opting for crab baits for the smuts, other with mackerel for the tope & huss.
Lee had either misheard Paul’s instructions to bring prawns or thought he’d batter the fish into submission!
After a few dogfish had come aboard, Terry & Ronnie drew first blood with the smuts
And the same pair followed that with another fish apiece….
Paul was soon amongst the smuts too after a steady stream of doggies…
Terry was on a hot streak and boated another smut, nothing huge but good sport….
Phill could only look on longingly as he had never caught a smoothie even after a few trips on the Mink and he was getting some good natured ribbing from the lads, egged on by the Skipper
Andy proved to be a top skipper, very chatty & informative and only too eager to help out with hints and tips, he was also a dab hand with the brew making. Naturally we gave him a present
Spawny Terry as he was now christened pulled aboard a good Huss, just look at that smug grin….
The fishing dried up a bit and Andy decided on a short move to another mark which had produced good results previously…
Gaz was soon amongst the hounds
Soon followed by a spot of Huss wrestling…..
Lee with a decent Huss which was weighed by Andy to be 14lb
Now Phill had endured watching everyone pulling out smut after smut, even Ronnie had four and he was feeling under the weather with the conditions. Every hound that came aboard was either given to him to return so he knew what one felt like or returned into the water where he was fishing for him to see swim off so it was with some relief that he too got amongst them
Gazza’s reel then proceeded to scream off line and after a good hard tussle he pulled the best fish of the day aboard, a decent Tope…
This mark was proving to be quite productive with all the rods busy with Tope, Huss the inevitable dogfish and smoothies
Then to throw another species into the pot, Myself and Phill managed a small but nicely marked thornback apiece…
Phill got a strange knock on his rod and reeled in to find on the end of his rod quite possibly the catch of the day…..
A tin of sardines in tomato sauce Blimey, what are the odds of that?” he said…….oh about 6-1 came the reply in unison
Andy had kept an eye on the weather forecast updates, and he informed us that the forecast had changed yet again since we set sail and instead of lessening the wind had increased to 14 mph s’westerly. He assured us as long as the swells weren’t breaching, we were perfectly safe, as indeed it proved
After a morning being battered about by the Irish Sea swells (it was a constant battle just to try and stand still! ) and after reeling in a good number of hard fighting Smoothhound, Tope and Bull Huss it was perhaps understandable that the trip back was a little subdued
Safely back ashore……
Top Skipper Andy Bradbury…
Once back on dry land it was time to confess to Phill that I had clipped the tin of sardines to his line and slid it down, under instructions from Mein Fuhrer Calvert Good sport that he is, Phill saw the funny side and posed with the ‘Catch of the Day’
All in all, considering the weather turned a bit snottier than we would have liked, the fishing was good, the banter top notch as usual and the boat and skipper first class.
For the record, there was three spewers, Ronnie went first early doors but battled on gamely to the end, then me and, after copping some ‘spray’ in his chops from me Lee succumbed too! Fairplay though, we all carried on fishing and catching and didn’t let it spoil the day I think most people on board felt it a bit during the day to varying degrees, apart from Paul who has seawater running through his veins
When’s the next trip?


It's time to admit that being the new person just isn't pleasant. It's hard when you enter a new workplace, where your co-workers are in already-established groups, and it's hard for a new hobby as well. It can take a lot of courage for people to put themselves out there. We’ve seen it done, and we’ve done it ourselves.
But newcomers will be pleased to know that astronomy is a hobby that's incredibly welcoming, and clubs and societies do their best to recruit new members. Newbie/Open Nights, Family Nights, speaking events, star parties - even trips to the USA to see the eclipse this August (our local club has organised this, and we’re Australian. It’s a pretty long way to go!).Continue reading →


The World Superbike Championship will be decided this weekend at Germany’s Nurburgring racetrack.
With the many changes coming to MotoGP this year, one question on every fan’s mind is just how competitive the Claiming Rules Teams (CRTs) will be. Their bikes don’t have the money of a full factory behind them, but there’s no doubt that they’re still formidable models. Fans got to see just how fast the […]
When people first learn how to ride a bike, they typically use training wheels on the back until they learn how to keep their balance. These back two wheels help ensure that the bike remains upright no matter what happens. Piaggio, the Italian manufacturer that owns the Vespa, Aprilia and Moto Guzzi scooter brands, is […]
Checa Extends Lead Over Biaggi in World Superbike Ducati rider Carlos Checa was able to pick up his eighth win of the World Superbike season and complete a weekend sweep by besting rival Max Biaggi in two races at the Misano Adriatico Circuit in Italy. Checa had the advantage going into Sunday’s race, as he […]


Here are Wednesday’s top stories:
PepsiCo, Inc. (NYSE:PEP) reports that its refranchising activities in China and Mexico, along with volatility in foreign exchange, brought down revenues and offset rises in price, all leading to a sharp fall of 21 percent in net profit in the second quarter to $1.49 billion.
Don’t Miss: Boeing Earnings: BEATS Forecasts.
TripAdvisor (NASDAQ:TRIP) sneezed (a second quarter revenue miss) and other online travel shares caught a cold, with Expedia, Inc. (NASDAQ:EXPE), Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE:OWW), and priceline.com Incorporated (NASDAQ:PCLN) included in the group. The former’s conference call revealed that its international advertising rates dropped, and that attempts to raise the “traffic quality” also factored in. The firm reiterated guidance for “high teens” in this years revenue growth, but that falls short of a 21 percent consensus. Benchmark worries that aggressive search advertising expenditures by travel agencies might lower TripAdvisor’s search ad returns.

RSMeans Frequently Asked Questions
This section contains a collection of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) that have been compiled by our RSMeans Team. Please take a moment to look through these if you have any questions about RSMeans construction-related publications. If you don't find what you are looking for here, please contact RSMeans Customer Service for further assistance.
This section contains the following topics:
Selecting Books: Which One is Right for Me?
Which are the RSMeans union books?
The following RSMeans Cost Data books, both hardcopy and electronic, are based on union labor rates: Assemblies, Building Construction, Concrete & Masonry, Electrical, Electrical Change Order, Heavy Construction, Interior, Mechanical, Plumbing, Site Work & Landscape, Facilities Construction Cost, Facilities Maintenance & Repair, Repair & Remodeling, and Square Foot Cost Data.
Which are RSMeans open shop books?
The following are open shop books: Open Shop Building Construction Cost, Light Commercial, Residential, and the Contractor Pricing Guide residential series.
What if the RSMeans cost data publication I need is only published as a union book?
We suggest that rather than multiplying the RSMeans Bare Labor costs by your quantity, instead multiply the Labor Hours by the quantity. By using hours, you can price the project in hours rather than dollars and then multiply the total hours by whatever labor rate you want to use. Note: When you use your own labor rate, do not use the City Cost Index labor correction.
What is the difference between the Mechanical and Plumbing Cost Data books?
The Mechanical Cost Data book primarily covers HVAC components and controls, while Plumbing Cost Data covers plumbing fixtures and fire protection. The Plumbing book does include some small boilers and items that frequently are installed by plumbers. There is a large overlap in pipe and fittings between the two books. However, the Mechanical book does not include cast iron soil pipe. Both books include stainless steel pipe and fittings.
What is the difference between the Building Construction Cost Data and the Facilities Construction Cost Data books?
Facilities Construction Cost Data contains 60% to 70% of the material contained 4 other books (Building Construction, Mechanical, Plumbing and Electrical Cost Data). It is basically the Building Construction Cost Data with a lot of additional mechanical, plumbing and electrical data added. It is RSMeans' most complete single database and as such is the one most frequently specified in JOC, DOC and SABRE contracts.
Which book has the most unit price lines, assemblies lines, etc. in any particular division?
In the back of each RSMeans cost data book is the Book Selection Guide that indicates how many lines, assemblies, references, etc. by CSI division are in each book.
What is the difference between the Light Commercial and Square Foot Costs books? If they have the same square foot models, why is there a cost difference?
Square Foot Costs is based on Union labor while the Light Commercial Cost Data is based on Open Shop labor. (This is indicated in Column A of the inside the back cover in the table entitled Installing Contractor's Overhead and Profit.)
For residential contractors specializing in a specific trade, would it be better to order the Residential Cost Data or the book for the trade, such as Concrete and Masonry, Plumbing or Electrical?
The answer to this question depends on what the contractor is looking for and the intended use of the database. The Residential cost database is fast and easy to use and includes square foot prices for completed buildings. It is also based on residential labor rates. It does not, however, include all the information available for subcontracted trades. For all available RSMeans plumbing information, one would need Plumbing Cost Data, and likewise for Electrical, Mechanical, Concrete & Masonry, etc. Specific trade data found in any publication other than the prime database is condensed, partial information that has been extracted from the total available. Keep in mind that the prime books (Concrete & Masonry, Electrical, Electrical Change Order, Heavy Construction, Interior, Mechanical, Plumbing, Site Work & Landscape, Facilities Construction Cost, Facilities Maintenance & Repair, Repair & Remodeling, etc.) are based on Union labor rates. For residential Open Shop estimates, it would be necessary to work the estimate in labor hours as explained elsewhere in this list of questions.
Why are the costs different in the RSMeans Building Cost Data and the Contractor's Pricing Guides?
The RSMeans Building Cost Data book is based on Union labor, while the Contractor's Pricing Guides are based on residential labor.
Does Means publish a Flat Rate Service Pricing book?
No, RSMeans does not publish a flat rate pricing book for service work.
Book Form or CD?
What are the advantages of the printed books over the CD-formatted cost database (CostWorks electronic data)?
Printed hard copy books are portable and can be carried around job sites. With a book it is also easy to flip pages to get a feel of the layout and also find or review features such as the Reference section without having to progress through several drop-down menus, as is the case in CostWorks.
What are the benefits of RSMeans CD-based cost data (CostWorks) compared to hard copy books?
With RSMeans cost data on CD-ROM, the project location can be entered so that all material and labor costs are automatically customized to the specific region (eliminating the need to manually multiply by the City Cost Indexes). A toggle is also available to instantly change from Union to Open Shop labor. Project lists can be quickly created with summed extensions for printing or exporting to a spreadsheet.
Cost Data on CD-ROM
How much of my printed RSMeans cost data book do I get when I order it on RS Means cost data CD-ROM?
You receive all the data and estimating information that’s included in the companion printed book when you order a CD-ROM, plus several interactive features. See above for more detail.
Using RSMeans Cost Data
Understanding Crews data
Where do I find out what a B-21 (etc.) crew is?
Crew information can be found in the back of all cost data books (the section with gray edges). Locate B-21 and you will see the composition of the crew, including equipment. Using a cost data CostWorks CD click on the seventh icon in from the left (the icon of two workers’ heads with hard hats) to see the make-up of the crew. If you are using MeansCostWorks.com online, there is an icon on the top right portion of the screen (designated "Crew"). Clicking this icon will enable the user to view all crews used in RSMeans line items. Note that the labor rates on this table are always national average.
What if I want a different sized crew?
The daily output for a larger crew will increase from the output shown, and for a smaller crew will decrease. However, the labor hours to perform the operation for each unit will remain the same. Doubling the crew will halve the elapsed clock time, but labor hours will stay the same. Note: Divide the total crew hours worked in a day by the Daily Output to arrive at labor hours.
How is crew size determined?
RSMeans' engineers, based on their experience, set the crew size. However as explained in the FAQ "What if I want a different size crew?" crew size only affects lapsed time and not labor hours.
What is this abbreviation in the crew column?
Abbreviations of trade workers can be quickly located inside the back cover of RSMeans books. They are also located in the abbreviations table along with all the other abbreviations at the back of the book just before the index. In CostWorks CD, use either the abbreviations list (click the SY icon) or look up reference R01100-070, which is a copy of the inside back cover of the books.
How is daily output determined?
Daily output or productivity is based on several factors: RSMeans’ engineer's experience, trade labor productivity publications, contractors’ input, and in some cases actual time and motion study observation.
How are labor hours determined?
Labor hours are calculated by dividing the crew labor hours worked in a day by the daily output. Note: Multiply labor hours by 60 to convert to hours and minutes.
Understanding Material Prices
Is the bare material price shown in RSMeans a list price?
It is RSMeans' intention that the bare material price is what the installing contractor pays for material delivered to the job site. The price is after the contractor's trade discount is taken. No sales taxes are included.
What does the bare material and labor cost represent?
The bare material price is the cost of the material to the installing contractor. The bare labor cost is the base rate including fringes that is paid to the person doing the actual installation.
How are material prices updated?
RSMeans’ engineering department contacts manufacturers, suppliers, trade price sheets, pricing services and contractors to update material prices each year.
How to Use the Data
What does the Equipment column represent?
The Equipment column is the cost of the equipment used by the crew prorated per labor hour of crew time worked.
What is the Total column?
The Total column is the simple mathematical sum of the bare material, labor and equipment columns.
What is included in the Total Incl. O&P column and how does RSMeans calculate it?
To arrive at the value of the Total Including Overhead & Profit column add 10% to the bare material and bare equipment cost. From the Installing Contractor's Overhead and Profit table (the inside back cover of books or Reference 01100-070 in CostWorks) determine the Column F percentage for the appropriate labor type and add this percentage to the labor. The total of these calculations is the Total Including Overhead and Profit. Note that the calculations are illustrated step by step in the How to Use The Unit Price pages and the How to Use the Assembly Cost Tables found in each publication just before the appropriate section and in the Means CostWorks References section.
What if my overhead or desired profit is different from the inside back cover?
Do not use the price listed in RSMeans Total Including Overhead and Profit column. Calculate your own Total using the method outlined in the “ What is included in the Total Incl. O&P column and how does Means calculate it?” question. Be sure to substitute your own values for the percentages listed in Means Column F.
Whose prices are represented? The GC or another contractor?
The prices listed are always the prices of the installing contractor. The installing contractor may be the GC, a contractor or even a sub or sub-subcontractor. Note: each time the costs are passed up the chain of responsibility, a percentage or markup (frequently 10%) is usually added.
What is the "unit?"
The "unit" is the industry recognized unit of measure for the item.
Does the bare labor cost include "fringes?"
The bare labor cost does include the employer-paid fringe benefits such as vacation pay, employer-paid health and welfare costs, pension costs, plus appropriate training and industry advancement funds costs.
How do I know if the labor prices are union or open shop?
Look inside the back cover of the book or at reference number R01100-070 (in most books and in the Reference section of Means CostWorks CD-ROM) and read in the upper left corner Column A: Labor rates are… . However, RSMeans CostWorks CD includes a "toggle switch" that changes the wage rates from union to open shop. MeansCostWorks.com online requires that the user make a wage rate selection from a drop-down menu.
Using the Location Factors
What city are the prices based on?
Technically the material prices are national average. Several prices for each material are obtained and mathematically averaged. Some data sets are based on a 30-city average for union labor rates, while others use open shop labor rates and still others use residential labor rates.
How do I correct the prices for my location?
For each CSI Division multiply the bare material cost by the MAT Index for that city. Likewise, multiply the bare labor cost by the INST index for the city. If the desired activity has an entry in the equipment column, multiply this cost by the equipment rental index. This is the first line under the titles for each of the cities listed. If you are using costs from the Total Including Overhead and Profit column in the front of the book, multiply these numbers under the Total column in the city cost index.
What is the difference between the CCI (City Cost Indexes) and the Location Factors?
The CCI is broken down by trade (Construction Specification Institute /CSI) division number. At the bottom of each city is the weighted average. This average is weighted by giving more value to the more expensive components of construction and less influence to those items that are usually the least expensive. The Location Factors are just these weighted averages. If you are concerned with the total building (all trades), then the weighted average is fine. However, if you are just concerned with a particular trade, use the City Cost Index value for that trade.
What is the most accurate way to revise costs for my location?
It is more accurate to use the indexes on the material and labor costs separately rather than using the Total index on the Total Including Overhead and Profit values. This is especially true for those lines where there is a large difference between the material and labor costs.
My city or town is not listed in the CCI. What do I do?
Use the factors for the nearest city that you can find. If a city or town is too small to have its own union hall, workers who wish to belong to the union will travel to the nearest larger city that does have a union hall.
In Canada how do we account for the exchange rate?
When using RSMeans data, the exchange rate is not a factor. The City Cost Index is all that is needed. The index is the ratio of the prices in any city to a stated price. For example, the ratio of the cost of a sack of concrete in Los Angeles to the average or the cost of that same size sack of concrete in dollars as sold in Toronto to Canadians (regardless of where it originated). It is purely a ratio of sales costs as nothing is being transported across the border.
Understanding Division 17
In Div. 17, the SF & CF cost section, how are costs determined?
The construction listed in Div. 17, SF & CF costs are reports from real projects that have been completed. The last white page in each book contains a questionnaire (RSMeans Project Cost Report) that contractors, architects, engineers, etc. can fill out on their projects and submit for discounts. RSMeans processes this data into the format of Div. 17.
In Div. 17,the SF & CF cost section, what does 1/4, Median and 3/4 mean?
Project data received from RSMeans is arranged by building type from the lowest to the highest cost. These costs tend to follow a "bell" distribution. The nodes 1/4, median and 3/4 mean that at the 1/4 point, 25% of that type of building costs less than the indicated price and 75% costs more. The median is the mid-point with half less than the cost and half more.
In Div. 17, the SF & CF cost section, what do I do if the building I need is missing the type work I need? Example: Apartments (4- to 7-story) does not have any HVAC?
The reason that Apartments (4- to 7-story) do not list HVAC is because RSMeans has not received enough data to break out a statistically valid value. To determine a reasonable value, we recommend that you substitute something similar. For example: possibly one of the other Apartments entries would have a reasonable value. Also Dormitories are similar to apartments. It is important to remember that the SF/CF section only gives an approximate value of a similar construction.
What are the weakness of Div. 17, the SF & CF cost section, and how does RSMeans address them?
Several issues are very important and worth remembering when considering the use of Div. 17 data. First, and most important, RSMeans does not know what the type of construction the received submittals cover, or what is included. Example: Is it a wood frame, concrete and steel, or masonry building? And does the plumbing include a sprinkler system? Second, was it built union or open shop? Third, where is the building being built? The submittals we received from our customer base are treated as national average prices even though the information may be coming from a part of the country that is experiencing a construction boom, or even a construction bust. Example: For a period of time the eastern part of the country was not experiencing a population growth, and some surplus schools were being converted into condominiums and elderly housing. The southwest Sunbelt states at a point in time had a population surge and had to build schools. Consequently the school prices, which we call national average, were reflecting southwest construction costs and styles. RSMeans recognized this problem and created the Square Foot Cost Data book based on the costs in our database and in which the user has a choice of construction types and can see exactly what is included and can change components if desired.
How are Assembly prices generated?
Assembly prices are comprised of unit prices from the RSMeans database. Some RSMeans cost data books include a system components table under the illustration, which shows a representation of what is included in the system and the quantity and unit of these components. This list of components is usually for the item on the first line of the following cost table. In the cost table as the sizes or types vary, the actual components sizes and quantities may also vary. One advantage of the CD version of RSMeans cost data is that when an assembly is highlighted, you can click on the jigsaw puzzle icon at the top of the screen and a pop-up screen will show exactly what components and quantities are included in that particular assembly. If you are using MeansCostWorks.com online, a pop-up window will appear when your cursor passes over the assembly number. Within that window there is a hot button "details" that when activated will display the assembly components.
Data Update Frequency
How often is the data updated, and does RSMeans send out updates?
The RSMeans database is entirely reviewed and updated annually. The data found in the cost publications, CostWorks CD and MeansCostWorks.com online is new each year. RSMeans does not "send out" updated pricing. However, there is a quarterly update to the city cost index available that is based on a variety of "key" materials.
Historical Cost Index
A structure was built 10 years ago for X dollars. What would it cost to build today?
RSMeans includes Historical Cost Indexes to calculate this. The Historical Index page can be located just before the City Cost Indexes in the printed cost data books and in the Reference section of any CostWorks CD data. Included on the page is an explanation of the equation that allows you to move any construction cost forward or backward in time. Note: When used in conjunction with the City Cost Indexes, it is possible to move any cost from one city and time to another city and time.
Understanding Reference Tables
What is the little rectangular box with an “R” number in it at the beginning of many sections?
The “R” number indicates that there is supplemental information available in the Reference section, located in the back of the printed cost data books. While some o of the information in the Reference section is general in nature, much of it provides additional data specific to some particular material or application. The R number is RSMeans’ way of suggesting a location of potentially very useful additional information.
If you don't know what division a particular item would be in, how can you find it?
RSMeans is especially proud if its comprehensive index. We suggest its use whenever the user does not know where to look. It is also sometimes helpful to look up alternate names or reverse wording (ex: slate roof vs. roofing, slate), or similar materials. Note, RSMeans tries to avoid using trade or manufacturers' names.
If I would like to know the source or other information about a particular line item, where can I find this information?
Source, manufacturer or similar information is not included specifically in RSMeans’ data, published or electronic. If for some reason this information is needed, it is necessary to call RSMeans and speak with the engineering department.
The government, college, municipality, etc. wants to use RSMeans times a coefficient. Where does RSMeans list its coefficients?
RSMeans does not publish a list of recommended coefficients, or numbers that individual contractors determine as a suitable multiplier to apply to RSMeans prices in order to feel confident that they can accomplish the work indicated and make an acceptable profit. Various conditions are usually specified in the proposed contract and should be carefully reviewed before calculating the coefficient. Bids from competing contractors are usually based on these coefficients.
For bid purposes, what is the methodology for determining coefficients?
Most commercially available unit price databases are produced annually. Some contracts allow for a separate coefficient each year, others allow an escalation index, and some maintain the coefficient but use an updated database.
When shingling, are nails included? When soldering, is solder included? Etc.
When a line in RSMeans’ database has a cost in the Labor column, this means that the unit (whatever it is) is installed subject to any applicable notations or restricting headings. In order to "install" shingles, nails or some sort of fastener must be used. Soldered tubing requires solder, etc. RSMeans assumes thus that the joining/fastening items/materials are included. In actual analysis, the cost of solder per joint or nails per shingle, etc., is such a small percentage of whatever is being installed that essentially it is lost in rounding.
What is included when installing mechanical equipment?
In general, it can be assumed that the following are included when installing mechanical equipment: movement into the building, setting of equipment, connection to piping/duct/power, filling/flushing/cleaning/touch up, start-up/running adjustments, training an owner's rep, and warranty/call back/service. Of course not all of these would necessarily apply to every line item.
Ductwork is measured in linear feet of each size, but the unit in the database is pounds. How can we convert?
Reference number R15810-050, Ductwork, gives a very quick but crude table for estimating pounds of duct for aluminum, copper and steel. However, if you wish to be much more accurate for steel fabricated duct, Table R15810-100 Sheet Metal Calculator (Weight in lb./ft. of Length) should be consulted. This table is predicated on the old SMACNA semi-perimeter method of fabricating duct. While this method is no longer used for fabricating, it still seems to be the preferred method of estimating and the resulting accuracy is within acceptable limits.
What is the minimum charge, and how do I use it?
The minimum charge is just that. It is like a service call charge. Example; Someone wants carpet in an entryway. The area is 4 square yards. The cost of labor to install the carpet according to RSMeans is $3.36 per square yard or a total bare labor cost of $13.44. No trades person is going to go to some location and perform an installation for $13.44. There is usually a minimum amount that the worker needs just to cover his expenses to show up. To cover cases like this, RSMeans has listed the minimum labor/equipment charge. For small, isolated jobs multiply the labor cost by the quantity required. If the result is larger than the minimum cost, use it. If it is smaller than the minimum, use the minimum. In either case you would use the unit material cost multiplied by the quantity as there is no minimum material cost. Note, for small quantities and repair/service items or fittings, the material cost could be considerably more than the cost indicated in RSMeans. This is justified as a service truck stock charge or convenience charge. The data to support this is found in the R&R and Facilities Construction books.
Does RSMeans list factors for severe weather conditions?
RSMeans publications do not have any factors for severe weather conditions. The productivity in RSMeans is based on normal average working conditions, i.e., an eight-hour day, in daylight hours in moderate temperatures. Users of RSMeans data should incorporate factors as necessary for extreme conditions.
Job Order Contracting
What are the differences between JOC contracts and other traditional contracting methods?
A major difference is time. JOC methods reduce project schedules by as much as 60%. Bidders must have a complete understanding of the contract, use of a unit price database and the local construction market.
What has been the success of JOC contracting methods in specific markets?
The military has written JOC contracts since 1985 at an estimated 5 billion dollars worth of construction and renovation. Most JOC contracts are for repair and remodeling work with an upper limit of $250,000.00.
If you purchase the wrong product from RSMeans are you "stuck" with it?
Purchasers of any RSMeans product (from RSMeans directly) have a 30-day, no hassle, money back guarantee. Contact RSMeans Customer Service for more information.


On CNBC TV today, I have been talking about the top 5 things investors should know about the highly anticipated Blackstone IPO. (And, in case you're wondering, 5 was an arbitrary number.) Clearly, it was a very serious and informative piece of journalism.
Now, let's have some fun. Here are the top 5 things investors REALLY WANT to know about Blackstone's IPO. I don't have the answers to any of them unfortunately--but it's more fun to fantasize, isn't it?
Number One: What will the after-party be like?
At the very minimum, I would think there would be free-flowing stone crabs served by waiters without squeaky shoes. And a headline performer. Perhaps U2 (Beautiful Day)? OK Go (Invincible)? Kanye West (Gold Digger)?
Number Two: Will there be a Blackstone wealth ripple effect?
Think about the boatloads of money raised from the IPO. Yes, execs have a lockup period. But they've got to feel a little richer (that is, more fabulously wealthy versus their previous state of just fabulously wealthy). So let's apply trickle down economic theory: after the IPO, we could be looking at a hike in beachfront property prices, a boom in Ferrari sales, shortages of Park Avenue penthouses, and (gasp!) higher prices for stone crab! (I'm thinking stone crab will be a HUGE foodie fad for wannabe Steve Schwarzman's.)
Number Three: What will non-stakeholder employees get from the IPO?
Bragging rights, definitely. And if that's not enough, a t-shirt that reads, "My Private Equity Firm IPO'd and All I Got was a Lousy T-Shirt." But the t-shirt will be made of the finest Egyptian cotton.
Number Four: What will Pete Peterson do with his $1.8 billion payout?
$1.8B is a lot of dough. He could buy plenty of copies of the newly published book authored by his daughter, Holly. The book is called "The Manny," and is about Manhattan's super rich and the hiring of a male nanny (I wonder if there's anything autobiographical about this book). Check out the video take off of the book on YouTube.
Or, he could donate $1.8b to his cause celebre, his pet project, reducing the federal deficit. $1.8b down, $499b to go!
Number Five: Will Blackstone Buy Blackstone?
We hear a lot about firms going public, then private, then public again. Why not Blackstone? If the Blackstone bill becomes law and Blackstone has a looming grace period before it's tax bill balloons, it could pull off the biggest deal ever. It could take itself private.

By most standards, Yoga on High is a busy yoga studio. On any given weekday, six classes take place within its Short North confines. And it’s kept busy by the many, many yoga devotees who call it their favorite place to practice Hatha, Ashtanga and Vinyasa. And according to co-owner Linda Oshins, that’s a wide swath of the public — “We think everybody can benefit from a yoga practice, no matter what their intentions or their physical capabilities.” The studio has been a welcoming center of zen in the Short North since 2001.

This is a discussion on Got my stripped lowers....before the possible ban within the Defensive Rifles & Shotgun Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Oh, well in that case, give FN Herstal a call and see if they're finally selling rifles to civilians. Seriously though, if it's a rifle ...
Oh, well in that case, give FN Herstal a call and see if they're finally selling rifles to civilians.
Seriously though, if it's a rifle you want to use and abuse, in competitions and training courses and whatnot, you're going to have to tailor it a little differently than you would a casual plinker. For the lower, most lower parts kits would do (I linked several in my original response to you), so I'll just deal with uppers in this post.
I highly recommend an LMT 14.5" upper (here); I'd recommend a Bravo Company upper, but they're perpetually out of stock. Anyway, this will give you the same M4 upper you're familiar with. Find a set of handguards you like (the standard plastic heat shields or rails) and a Bravo Company auto (M16) bolt carrier group since neither of those uppers come with one. Add the rear sight/optic of your choice and rock on. This is right about at that point of diminishing returns, and anything better you'd have to really start shelling out cash for.
Just ordered my CMMG stripped lower for the same reason. Had fun putting in the internals (first build). Now I need to research all the upper features I need (want!).
i finally ordered and received it today...a 20'' varmint chromed barrel kit...
waiting on my stag arms lower...
from what I can tell model1sales put out a good upper....can't wait to get the rifle together and see what it can do.

NRA Certified Instructor--many disciplines
If you guys need a barrel wrench CDNN investments has them for 19.95,shipping is 14.95 for 1 or 1000 parts shipped so what I usually do is order a lot of parts at once like magazines and other stuff
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"

wow, scurrying around and snapping up gun parts like squirrels hoarding nuts before the snow, I am and you are too. It is sad.
The lower just allows you to buy "parts kits" to build and configure you an AR from the ground up to your liking.
If you're gonna hoard my friend, hoard hi-cap mags, flash hiders, folding and collapsable stocks. If you don't USE them you can sell them for a profit when or if the gun ban hits us yet again...

Macintosh Files in Search Window
2003-12-20 02:05:34 AM
I just started working on a cross platform project with macintosh
developers. I was able to open the mac files correctly by setting (in
the FileOptions prefs): "Auto detect file encoding", "Auto sense file
EOL". It works great, except for the "Search window".
When I do a file grep, the results in macintosh files (with \r and no
\n) All the results show up on one line, making them almost useless.
For example the mac file:
Would open fine, but a file grep for B would give the following on the

Any ideas for how to get grep to recognize mac files??


Still declaring her innocence, former fugitive Rebecca S. Parrett was sent to federal prison yesterday after more than 2 1/2 years on the lam.
"Good morning, Ms. Parrett, and welcome back," Judge Algenon L. Marbley said as she stood before him in U.S. District Court for a face-to-face reading of her 25-year prison sentence.
"I'm sorry for what I did, but I'm innocent," said Parrett, 62, who was dressed in tan prison clothes and shackled at the ankles and wrists. She also wished the court and her son - the only relative who attended her hearing yesterday - a merry Christmas.
Parrett was convicted on March 13, 2008, of securities fraud, money laundering and other charges related to the collapse of Dublin-based National Century Financial Enterprises. She and other executives bilked investors out of more than $2 billion.
After the jury trial, Marbley allowed Parrett to return to her $6 million estate outside Phoenix to await sentencing. She was ordered to get electronic monitoring when she arrived, but she disappeared instead, leaving behind her sixth husband, Gary Green, and her adult son, Rob Parrett, as well as her mother and sister.
U.S. marshals searched for Parrett until October, when Mexican immigration officials arrested her in Ajijic, a retirement village in west-central Mexico that is popular with Americans. She had lived in a series of rental homes there and worked for an anti-aging doctor.
Marbley, who sentenced Parrett in absentia in March 2009, had plenty to say to her yesterday.
"You fled in a display of utter disregard for the justice system," he said. "Unlike your co-defendants, who at least had the integrity to accept their lawlessness, you ... perpetrated a fraud on this court."
Marbley said Parrett left $100,000 with Green before she fled and had him "drop" some of it to her while she was in Mexico.
Parrett said in court yesterday that she had gone to Mexico to die.
"My thinking was my family would be better if I wasn't around," she said. "I did not want to live anymore."
But Marbley didn't buy it.
"If you were planning to die, you wouldn't need money drops in Mexico," he said dryly.
Marbley saved his sharpest criticism of Parrett for her treatment of her sister, Linda Case of Grove City, who investigators discovered was e-mailing Parrett while giving them false leads about where her sister might be.
The worst thing, the judge said, "is the way you used and manipulated your sister."
Case, 67, was sentenced this year to six months in prison for lying to investigators.
"If you want to apologize to anyone, you should apologize to your sister," Marbley told Parrett.
Parrett cannot appeal her prison sentence because she was a fugitive when her case went before the U.S. Court of Appeals. Prosecutors did not charge her with fleeing, because Marbley had added five years for her flight when he sentenced her in 2009.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Douglas Squires said after yesterday's hearing that he's pleased the National Century saga is over.
"The judge said it best: Her nefarious conduct during the fraud was extended by her flight," Squires said.
Deputy Marshal Drew Shadwick, who handled the search for Parrett, said the investigation into her disappearance continues. He could not estimate how much the search cost the government but said: "This has been my career for 21/2 years."
Marshals won't detail how they caught Parrett or whether anyone collected the rewards put up for her capture.
Parrett's son, Rob, sat in a far corner of the courtroom during the hearing and would not comment.
His ex-wife, Kim Haglund, is the mother of Parrett's only grandson, Michael.
"It was a shock when we found out she did all this," said Haglund, who has lived in Arizona since Parrett moved her there in 1990. "She always made it seem like she was a rags-to-riches story, but she got her money from stealing from other people."
Haglund said Parrett usually was too busy to spend time with her grandson. Birthday cards came some years and not others, usually via Parrett's secretary.
"Becky never wanted to be called 'grandmother,'" Haglund said. "My son always referred to her as 'Becky.'"
Haglund said Parrett and her son, also known as Bobbie, "had a love-hate relationship for a long time. She never wanted to be bothered by Bobbie. She'd set up a trust fund for him, then she'd cut him off. Then she'd have it for him again."
Haglund said Rob Parrett had moved in recent years from Arizona back to Ohio, where he had grown up, and was living with Case.


I developed a new categorization system for Belgian style beers. I’m following up with a four-part series to explain it in more depth. This is the first installment in the four part series.
Beer style is a funny term. We all seem to know what it means yet nobody could tell you exactly what beer style is. Lets looks at an example: three major beer nerds are given the same beer. One calls it an American IPA, the other calls it an Imperial IPA and the third labels it as hoppy American amber ale.
Are any of these three nerds right or wrong? Probably not, with beer style comes a high degree of subjectivity. The only thing it appears that they agree upon is the perceived hoppiness of the beer, which we’ve all come to associate with the three-letter acronym IPA and the word “hoppy”. Even still, the biggest nerds (myself included) would tell you that saying something is hoppy doesn’t really say much at all.
What Does Belgian Style Mean?
“Belgian style” is a loose term that many struggle to define. It can mean a great number of very different things. It may refer to any of the following:
- Brewed in Belgium
- Complex characteristics stemming from unique strains of yeast and/or a high degree of focus on fermentation techniques
- Based on historical Belgian brewing practices (i.e. the use of Belgian candied sugar to make beer, brewing practices of Belgian monks, etc.)
- The complete lack of ability to taste similar to another beer; the individuality of any of these beers stands out
When we examine that last bullet point things get a little confusing. The very nature of Belgian beer is such that it can’t easily be defined… Why bother at all then, right? Stylization and classification for beers of this nature serves a greater purpose: to educate and share beer with those who would otherwise be too confused or overwhelmed to try them. After all, we all have to start somewhere. Below is the main body of my new classification system.
Why Does This Matter To Me?
Tryst will be incorporating a new categorization system for Belgian beer into menu design and product selection. This in no way means that I am correct, or that this is even the best means for looking at Belgian style beers. This is simply my way of understanding the Belgian beer universe and ultimately translating it to you and guests alike. This article provides a good comparison of different, widely accepted categorizations up against my system. Below is a sample image of how we may attempt to display it on the menu.
Don’t take this narrow view of the Belgian beer universe to be sacred. Examine this system with a careful eye and form your own opinion. Familiarize yourself with these basic terms and their meanings. Examine the categorization and see how these beers are similar and/or different. Do this, and you will soon be comfortable talking about Belgian beer.

Awww! Everyone loves Spot don't they? For those of you who don't know, Spot is a little fictional character; a dog in fact. He was created in the 1980's by children's author Eric Hill; he is still as popular with children today as he was when he was first born. There are many 'Spot' stories; today I will be reviewing one of them.
Spot's First Christmas is a 'Christmassy' children's book and features the famous dog Spot. The book is currently available for sale from Amazon for as little as 1p which I think is excellent value for money.
~ * The Plot * ~
It's Christmas Eve and Spot is very excited. He helps his mum and dad prepare for Christmas; decorating the Christmas tree etc.
~ * What's It Like? * ~
My little cousins (aged 3-5) absolutely loved this book! It really gets them excited for Christmas. They enjoy all of the Spot books however I think that this is definitely their favourite. The normal Spot books are a bit like playing a game as not only is there a great little story, but there is also a 'flap' which children have to lift up in order to see what or who is underneath the flap; it is a great guessing game. I think that this is my cousins' favourite Spot book, as not only is it fun (as are the rest of the Spot books), but this one has the added excitement of Christmas, which children just love.
I think that this book is very educational; it teaches young children about what to expect on Christmas Eve; decorating the tree, Santa, Carol singers etc, especially as they are too young to know what is going on.
The book is laid out in a very easy to understand way. The majority of the text consists of one simple line per page; each line of text is accompanied by a picture.
There are some lovely illustrations in this book; Each line of text is supported by a well-illustrated image; explaining to children (who can't read) exactly what is going on in the story. The pictures are so simple and colourful yet they explain the story so well. When I first read this book to my cousins, they 'got it' instantly and didn't ask no questions which tells me that the book is easy to understand.
The book is of good quality; the book has had lots of use (especially the flaps - yet they have stuck on quite well which is good).
I would definitely recommend this book this Christmas. It is a lovely little Christmassy book, yet even more special when read on Christmas Eve!
Thanks for reading!

My daughter really enjoys books and she really likes those with flaps that she can lift up. This book was given to her for her first Christmas when she was 6 months old.
---About the book:
Spot's First Christmas is part of the range of Spot books written by Eric Hill. They are about a puppy called Spot (a yellow dog with a big brown spot) and the adventures he has with his friends and his family. He has a mum called Sally and a dad called Sam. This board book is a small square book with a red front cover (very Christmassy) and a picture of Spot carrying two presents. The title is written at the top of the book in white writing, as is the author who's name is at the bottom of the cover. There is also a yellow star informing me it is a lift-the-flap book.
The book itself tells the story of Christmas Eve at Spot's house and all the things they have to do to prepare for Christmas. They go out to collect holly and a Christmas tree which they later decorate; they wrap the presents; listen to Carol singers; and Spot tries to find his present under the tree. Later Spotgoes to bed and Sally watches someone special go past the window... The end of the book is about Christmas morning and shows Spot unwrapping his presents.
Every page in the book except the first and the last, has a flap that can be lifted to show something extra in the picture. You can life the flap to see under the tree, behind the curtains and inside Spot's presents. Each page is very simple with a white background and then simple picrtures with bold colours to make it appeal more to children. There are no extra pages in the book except for the story so all the Publishing information is written in small black writing in the first picture of the book.
When my daughter got this book, she was just starting to enjoy books and it was nice to get her something she could keep and read again and again. She loves lifting the flaps and for her second Christmas when she was 18 months, she was able to enjoy it a lot more. She can turn the pages easily on her own as they are nice thick board ones and there is no problem with her tearing them. That said, the lift up flaps are very easy to tear and on several of her other books, she has torn them, but this one has survived so far. She gets very excited when she lifts the flaps and sees what's underneath and so some of the flaps are slightly bent, but this does not detract from her enjoyment of the book.
The text in the book is very large and stands out well as it is black against the white background. It is easy to read and would be suitable for those learning to read as the words are relatively simple. There are also not too many words on a page so it makes a nice short story so my daughter doesn't get bored of it. The Christmas theme of the book helps children to learn some of the Christmas traditions which is a nice way of doing it.
The Spot books are perfect for young children and I will happily buy several of them for my daughter. She likes the characters in them and there are lots of items that she can spot in the book as well as Spot himself! This book cost £4.99 which is a reasonable price for these books and I would pay We probably only read it around Christmas time as it is not one that can be read daily as it is seasonal but I would still recommend it for a Christmas treat.
My little boy got this as a present last Christmas, but at 10 months old he didn't understand, however, in the last couple of months it's become one of his favourite books and is teaching him about christmas time (I know it's not all about the presents). I can see how, when it comes to putting our tree up and wrapping presents this book will help him get more excited and understand that it's Christmas.
Spot is helping Sally set up for Christmas Day. Helping her move the Christmas tree, decorate it, wrap presents, open the door to carol singers and finally get his presents and open them (set over 11 separate illustrations).
It's a very simple book, like all of the spot books, the pictures are clear and there isn't too much on one page to detract from what the page is about (if that makes sense!) - my only complaint is Sally looks very much like Spot and my son gets a bit confused. The story is short but the excitement is in opening the flaps and finding spot, generally doing he something he shouldn't be and finally getting to see what Father Christmas has brought him.
Spot's First Christmas is a lovely book from the Spot range, written by Eric Hill, and with the run up to Christmas now upon us (under 50 days to go!) I thought I'd recommend a Christmas book that my son likes.
Spot's First Xmas shows Spot the dog going through the motions of an excited child the night before Xmas. Each page has a flap with something hidden underneath it, as with the other Spot books. We are taken through the process of looking out of the window for Santa, getting the Xmas tree, decorating it, wrapping presents, and finally Spot going to sleep after carol singers have been to visit. Spot's mum Sally is with Spot throughout the book, and at the end we see her peering out of the window. What will she see?
This is a lovely book, very good, as are the other Spot books, and definitely one worth recommending for kids. The flaps give them a little guessing game and the story is lovely, and will put them in the mood for Christmas - it's a very festive book and well worth having for your kid. The book retails at £5.99, but can be bought on amazon.co.uk for £4.49 at the moment.
my youngest daughter had this book just before christmas from a visit to santas grotto.
Spots first christmas is a lovely lift the flap book.
Its christmas eve and spot and his mom are getting ready for father christmas,
on the first page spot is standing at the window looking at the snow falling wandering where father christmas is,
on the second page spots mom is pulling a sleigh with the christmas tree on it and spot is supposed to be helping but when you open the flap spot is just sitting on the sleigh with the tree being pulled along singing jingle bells.
On the third page spot and his mum are wrapping the christmas presents to go under the tree and spot wants to know which one is his.
On the fourth page spot is up a ladder trying to help mom decorate the tree and falls off.
on the fith page there is a knock at the door and a door flap for you to open, when you open it there are carol singers behind the door.
On he next page mum is trying to get spot to go to bed but spot is too buisy under the tree messing with presents.
On the next page spot finds a bone in the tree, mom is very fed up with spot by this point as all she wants is for him to go to bed.
on the next page spot is finaly asleep and mom is looking out of the window, when you open the window flap you see santa in the sky.
The next page shows you the clock out side spots bedroom door it is almost ten to six and as you open the flap that is spots bedroom door you see spot getting his first present out of his stocking
The next page shows you all spots presents and behind the flap is an unopened present, it asks what it is but you dont get to find out untill the next page which is the end to the book, its a pritty blue collar for spot.
This is a lovely story book and very easy for you to begin teaching a child to read with as the words are very large and most are no more than 4 letters long, my daughters love this book.
Christmas is fast approaching so I thought I'd review a book that is great for very young children in the run up to the festive season!
~ Eric Hill and Spot ~
Spot was 'born' in 1980 and he hasn't aged a bit, lucky thing!! Eric Hill's first Spot book 'Where's Spot?' introduced this lovable puppy.
Following the huge success of this book he has continued to write a series of books all about the adventures of Spot:
Spot's walk in the woods
Spot goes to the farm
Spot's busy week
Spot's first walk
Spot visits his grandparents
Spot also has an official website where games etc can be downloaded www.funwithspot.com
There is also an animated series of Spot and a number of educational videos available relating to time, the alphabet etc.
~ Spot's First Christmas ~
It begins with Sally, Spot's Mummy telling him that it's Christmas Eve and there's lots to do.
Spot helps to pull the Christmas tree in to the house and decorate it, wrap the presents etc but when Mum says it is time for bed he begins to look for his present and knocks the tree over.
Eventually he goes to bed, Sally is relieved and sees Santa Claus in the sky. The next morning there's a very happy Spot with all of his presents!
~ Style and Content ~
As you can see from the above synopsis this book has a very simple story line but don't be put off by this, it's very popular with young children thanks to the lift the flap concept.
There is a flap on each page which shows Spot, rather than helping Mum, is getting up to mischief. There is also a speech bubble from Spot under most of the flaps.
There is limited text so great for emergent readers.
~ Illustrations ~
If anyone is familiar with Spot books, you will know that the illustrations are set against a white backdrop and are bright and large.
The drawings are very simple which appeals to very young children.
~ Educational Values ~
This is a great educational tool.
- It develops fine motor skills with the lift the flap opportunities.
- It encourages an inquisitive nature and a love of books through the interactivity and the bright, bold illustrations.
- It's good for emergent readers due to the simple text.
~ Price & Formats ~
My paperback version was £4.99
Check out www.amazon.co.uk for the following cheaper options:
Paperbacks, hardcovers and boardbooks, the latter of which are even better for pre-school children's little hands, used and new from just 1p!
This book is also available in a new Pop-up version at £4.99 but again, amazon have some good deals which start from just 76p.
Overall this is a great book for early years so keep it in mind in the last few frantic weeks prior to Christmas!!

I Have Always Been Intrigued By Reincarnation
When I was Christian I abhorred it, however, and ridiculed it. But a few years back (after I left religion) I was intrigued by it again and I paid a psychic to tell me if I had any past lives. Well, she said I had many. One in particular was my life as a leader named Henry in the Roman empire. Evidently I was killed. Much jealousy from other people follows me through to my other lives (which I have felt growing up, until recently, anyway). Then she said I was a Greek god in one of my past lives. I was shocked and confused. Then she said "Or goddess." I was even more confused and so I asked which one and she confirmed I was a Greek god in a past life. I really liked that because I have always felt a connection to the ancient Greek myths since I was a small boy and my chest always got incredibly warm as I read about these deities. I looked at her picture of Jesus on the wall and I didn't understand that if she believed in this god Jesus how could this even be possible that there were ancient deities, both male and female, and so I asked her how that was even possible, since I thought Jesus and God were what was the way things are today. She told me that it didn't matter about the way things are today because things were different back then. I never really understood that. She wanted me to wear crystals to ward off jealousy and trust everything she did and I guess I really wasn't ready for that. I never really went back. Anyway, all in all, though, I feel she was just telling me what I wanted to hear somehow. Did I mention anything about Greek gods to her in conversation? I don't think I had. Anyway, I've never really felt I've had any past lives or have even remotely remembered anything from a past life, if I have had them. My question is, How can I know? She also said besides having many that this is my last one, but I could come back one more time if I wanted to. The thing is, I've always felt like an old soul and had talents at a young age that most kids didn't have and learned faster than most. I also have keen perception and can read anyone's character upon instantly meeting them. Those few I can't usually commit suicide within the month, which has happened three times. Yeesh, that sounds so wierd mentioning that. Anyway, anyone?


May 30, 2013Statement by Leslie Peeler, Senior Vice President of National Servicing Organization, on HAMP Extension and Streamlined Modification
“The extension of HAMP will benefit struggling homeowners across the country. Since its inception, HAMP has helped more than one million people stay in their homes. HAMP set the standard to extend assistance to borrowers and created a more fair and transparent process. As a result, modifications are performing better than ever. Everyone benefits when a borrower succeeds on a HAMP modification and stays in their home, no matter who owns that individual loan.
“FHFA also announced today that the Streamlined Modification program will be extended through the end of 2015. This program is up and running with many servicers and has created a simplified process to help homeowners avoid foreclosure.
“We will continue to work with FHFA to implement these extensions and provide guidance to servicers. We encourage homeowners who are having trouble paying their mortgage to reach out for help as soon as possible.

In a continued effort to make sense of native advertising, IAB released its latest study, "The Native Advertising Playbook."
The paper is intended to provide Internet advertisers and marketers with a framework for thinking and discussing the current state of native advertising. To do that, IAB broke native down into six ad-unit categories, along with six questions marketers should ask when evaluating each. IAB also offers some recommended best practices to consider.
The six types of ad units that are most common now are: in-feed, paid search, recommendation widgets, promoted listings, in-ad with native elements and custom. The paper defines each unit with details on how to evaluate them based on form, function, integration, targeting and measurement.
IAB’s study was released on the same day the FCC is holding its workshop, "Blurred Lines: Advertising or Content?," as the commission looks to understand the practice to ensure fairness moving forward. IAB will also be holding a series of its own workshops beginning in March that will address topics like measurement, ethics and consumer attitudes towards advertising.

Roanoke Virginia's Premiere Tax Consultant
What people are saying…
Brian Brady, CEO of Entrepreneur Investment Corp
Since Micah has taken over our books we are up to date on our P&L for the first time in over a year. Micah is reliable and quick at communicating which has made our business run smoother and lifted a gigantic weight from my shoulders.
Heather Quintana, Owner of HQ Consulting, LLC
I have used an accountant for my small business and personal taxes for many years. When they closed up shop I found Micah Fraim. He showed me so many ways I could have been saving thousands on my taxes in previous years. He is personable, professional, smart, and persistent. He nudged me to get my paperwork in order and advised me to make a change to the structure of my business that will save me ten thousand dollars a year! He got my tax return completed quickly and accurately. I highly recommend working with Micah!
Chris Eide, Owner of Simplicity Communications
I don't need a firm who prepares taxes and tells me what I did wrong last year. I need someone engaged in my business ensuring my success translates to the bottom line. Micah provides that forward thinking advice which has proven critical to my success. With Micah I have a partner focused on watching my back and not another name on my vendor list.
Harmony Wright, Owner of All-In-One Home Solutions, LLC
Micah has quickly become an important asset to our company and a critical element in its success. In responding to my inquiries, the quality advice Micah provides is more than timely and his clearly-stated answers and instructions are easy to follow and comprehend.

Further, Micah demonstrates an understanding of the tax code, and in business, that inspires confidence. I highly recommend Micah's services to anyone seeking a quality tax professional.
Doug Brandt, President of The Pawnshop, Inc.
I love dealing with my customers and growing my business but I hate dealing with the accounting side of my business and had fallen months behind on my bookkeeping. I found Micah and all my accounting/bookkeeping problems were solved! I can now concentrate on making money instead of keeping up with it! Mr. Fraim has been a true blessing to myself, my business, and my family!
Cricket Haley, Firm Administrator of The Estate & Elder Law Care Center of Southside Virginia, PLLC
Micah Fraim is the Bomb! We had never used a CPA for filing our taxes. Our tax situation is quite complex and Micah has saved us a tremendous amount of time and money! Our taxes were filed without an extension for the first time ever and we actual received a REFUND which has never happened before!
Gary Beveridge, President of Beveridge & Associates
I recently hired Micah to take over my business and personal taxes and was extremely pleased with the service and attention to detail I received from him. He uncovered a very large interest deduction that my previous accountant had missed for 3 years!
Douglas S. Wilson, Partner at Wilson Law Firm, PLC
Micah Fraim is a young, technologically-savvy CPA who thinks in a business-planning manner. He posts useful information on his website that I, as a business owner, find useful and engaging. My legal practice involves a good deal of business formation and advising, and Micah has been able to answer my business tax questions, in most cases, without having to research the answers. For more obscure issues, he is able to conduct research and get back to me in a reasonable amount of time with responses that allow me to advise my clients. I never worry about making a referral to Micah, as he follows up promptly and professionally. I have only heard positive feedback from the clients I have referred to Micah Fraim.
