Rated 5 out of 5 by Bamalady just right!
I am delighted with my new suit!...It fits like a glove, does not pinch or bind like some of those brands do that tighten your tummy...the adjustable straps are a bonus in helping to make it custom-fit you too...I ordered the colored patterned one because you cannot readily see all the criss-crossing in front...the colors are muted and soft....I would like to request that Spanx make more patterned choices in this particular style...all they have is this ONE pattern,and 2 solids.

Jason Walker
Customers outside Australia don't pay GST
You can also buy online from
The follow up to Walker's critically acclaimed debut fulfils all expectations that he is Australia's finest alt country artist. His new band is also in fine form.
Jason Walker is not a guy that many people would once have associated with a strong work ethic. "Yeah, it's true - I did get fired from a lot of jobs over the years," he says, grinning ruefully. "It's a struggle to get anything out of me. But music has always been the only thing I've ever wanted to do for a living."
Given that in the last three years Walker has turned out a best selling biography of Gram Parsons - 'God's Own Singer' (Helter Skelter) and released two albums 'Stranger To Someone' and now 'Ashes & Wine' (both available on Laughing Outlaw Records) as well as having toured the United States and the United Kingdom twice, it would appear that he's being either modest or disingenuous.
His new album 'Ashes & Wine' reflects the time he spent travelling by himself to all kinds of places. "It's an album of songs written while on trains and in other people's cars – not bitching about being on the road, because I love that – but it's about looking at things from a distance, looking at the people I love. Some people would be mortified to think I might write a song about them but I would never waste time on someone I didn't care about."
Having enjoyed much critical acclaim for his previous album, 'Stranger To Someone' and its high production values courtesy of Michael Carpenter, Walker returned to Stagefright Studios and began working on the follow-up album. Over 26 days, with a month and a half off in the middle to allow Carpenter to embark on his own UK & US tour, the pair completed the album at the beginning of August.
Consisting entirely of new songs penned by Walker, some of which came to him on his overseas tour last year, while supporting Jay Farrar of Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt fame, 'Ashes & Wine', is a classic in waiting. The tales of lost love and frustration on this new record show an increasing depth of maturity and song-writing skill, that is quickly marking Walker as a great new talent.
With his new band backing him on record for the first time - Worth Wagers (ex-US bands The Moviegoers and Cow Lily) on guitar and sweet harmonies, Andrew Lay (ex-Golden Rough) on drums with a plethora of beats, Brian Crouch (Golden Rough) with that magic keyboard of many sounds, Dave Keys (Soap Star Joe) on bass and of course Jason Walker, with the finely crafted songs, on lead vocals and guitar, The Last Drinks are an impressive line up indeed. Jason Walker says "The Last Drinks are in great form at the moment – I am so happy by the work they did on the album – it is just sensational! Michael Carpenter as producer has helped me to reach out beyond myself and to explore new areas in my music. I think people will be surprised, and I hope happy, with the result."
"Most of the albums I really dig are by bands or singers who can write across styles, who can handle a little country without sounding jive or who can boogie without being dumb about it. Wilco can do it, the Stones did it, the Faces, You Am I."
Equalling in some style, the work of such inspirational figures, every song on 'Ashes & Wine' is different in its scope and vision, from opener 'You're On Your Own's early 70s country pop vitality to the Stonesy thrust and parry of songs like 'Dissatisfaction' and 'Let Down' or the peak-period Neil Young & Crazy Horse inspired crunch of 'Save Your Tears'.
Previewing 'Ashes & Wine' - Jason Walker begins a solo UK tour from October 10th. A return visit, hopefully with The Last Drinks in tow, is planned for 2004.

"Really great." ****1/2 – Americana-UK Website
"Believe it or not, here at last is a local talent to match the renaissance of alt-country in the US led by the likes of Wilco, Ryan Adams and Shelby Lynne … Jason Walker is the first to match it with his stateside counterparts as both a stylist and a writer" 8/10 – JUICE
"Ryan Adams might have been getting all the press of late, but Walker's debut is equally worthy of your time and money." - **** Courier Mail
"Jason is a great gift to the local scene." – Drum Media
"It's a cracker." **** – Revolver
"Walker may not yet have the publicity whores of Universal hawking his ass, but he is well and truly equal to the calibre of Ryan Adams, Jeff Tweedy and other americana outlaws. Stranger to Someone has bitterness and balls, and that's what great music is made of." - Logged Off
"Fans of ANY genre of music should own this. An outstanding debut." - Pennyblack Website

It's one of the most beautiful scents that I have ever used. I love her other scents, but that one is my favorite. The bottle (all of them) is a work of art as well. It is a scent that is perfect for anywhere. I get so many compliments when I wear it.

An amazing smell that stays with you for hours. First time I buy this scent and loved it.

I love Forbidden Flower--not too soft, not too strong. When I went to use it though, I couldn't figure out how to open it ( it actually doesn't open), and then I discovered that the "stem" is the sprayer! How cool is THAT? Anyway, the scent is different, unlike a lot of them out there that seem to smell similar to one another. This one, however, stands out from the rest with its sweet but flowery essence. I think it has a little bit of musk in it as well, because after it's been on my skin for a while, I smell a "grassy" scent which I've noticed with other perfumes that have musk in them. I know I will be wearing this quite often, it smells THAT good.

I couldn't forget the scent from the very first time the sales lady introduced it to me over the counter..... intense but not overpowering..... flowery with hints of licorice.... delightfully powdery feminine scent that just works sooooooo well with my own body chemistry..... just absolutely LOVE it......

Orchard Park, NY (WGR 550) -- A year after getting brought in to create some mayhem as a part of the New York Jets, the franchise released the outside linebacker Tuesday to make room for another running back on the roster.
The former Bills first-round pick in 2009, Maybin was released prior to the 2011 season. He cleared waivers, signed with the Jets and had a certain degree of success in Rex Ryan's 3-4 scheme. Maybin had six sacks with the Jets before falling out of favor with the coaching staff in 2012.
Throughout this season, Maybin has just one tackle. Running back Kahlil Bell takes his spot on the roster.

I don't know what the problem is, but I went to post an assignment, and only part of it was posted. When I tried to post it again, I previewed it and the second part was not there, though it was typed in. this is all I was trying to post. Actually, I just tried to put my whole post in a quote, including the part that didn't work, and it didn't let me put it here either. I have no idea what it could be, but I need to do it for my assignment.
If I have a problem next time, I will be sure to do that, Jess! But yes, Georgia's submission worked for it, so I guess the mystery will go on until I write a fiction with someone else...
Just thought i'd say that it's me and Kaylee writing the story together, and it worked for me. So you don't have to worry about it anymore Jess.
Kaylee, go ahead and submit your fic to the queue, and if the co-author thing doesn't work, PM me, and I'll edit your co-author into the fic. I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work, but I know I can fix that via administrative power.
I am having some trouble putting a co-author on a story. I followed what the directions say when submitting a fic, but the co-author won't attach, and when I put the author into the search box above the co-author box, nothing appears in the co-author box. What do I do?
I think this is the right place to put this, but correct me if i'm wrong. I seem to have a problem logging on to my archive account to post a story or poem. it keeps saying that the website cannot display the page. I have double checked my username and password, and the only explanation I have is that it's the computer. but it's not blocked or anything. I can log on to any other website except MNFF. Any help? Georgia EDIT: don't know what I did, but it worked now. Well, computers never have really liked me, so that must be it.

My best suggestion is to subscribe to pertinent threads in SBBC (as well as in other forums you frequent), and make checking your subscription list a part of your routine. Also, you can set them up for email reminders if you wish. That's about all I can tell you.

I think what Georgia means is not that her post doesn't appear in the thread she posted it in; it just doesn't appear in New Posts. New SBBC posts don't appear under New Posts for me, either; I have to actually go to the SBBC forum to check, even though I'm a member. I was wondering about this too...should they be appearing under New Posts?
Georgia, I checked both your profile and pending usergroup requests for SBBC, and there is no reason why your posts aren't appearing. You are in the group, and your request was verified. I don't know, except for maybe to PM either Julia or Natalie and ask them they have deleted anything or if you've posted in a moderated thread.

I wore it to our civil ceremony in court then again at our reception. It fit like a glove perfectly (size 12) and the feathers were beautiful!

Perfect Reception Dress
So cute and fun... I love this dress. I bought it for my reception so that I could easily dance all night and enjoy myself!
December 21, 2012
I brought my bridal party to Davids for bridesmaid dresses! I had not even thought about a reception dress until the staff asked if they could recommend a couple of items. They brought this dress and I rolled my eyes but tried it on at the behest of the girls. I was shocked - it has a great fit, is flattering and so much fun. It was the perfect flirty personality dress I didn't know I wanted!

Whoever said that when life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade clearly never tasted limoncello.
You can make the after-dinner liquer with this recipe from local winemaker and home brew guru Scott Mansfield's new book, Strong Waters: a Simple Guide to Making Beer, Wine, Cider, and Other Spirited Beverages at Home.
It's even better than moonshine.
Makes about a quart
Zest of six lemons (either regular or Meyer)
1½ c. sugar
About 1 qt. vodka
1. Peel lemons and scrape the white pith from peels so that only zest remains.
2. Put zest in a 1-quart jar, add sugar and enough vodka to fill the container. Screw on the lid and store in a dark place.
3. After one month, strain through cheesecloth to remove zest. Return liquid to jar and add enough vodka to top it off.
4. Serve very cold after an Italian dinner.
Note: If you have at least four people at the table, prepare to go through a bottle.
Mansfield is teaching a series of mixology classes starting this Saturday at Workshop, 1798 McAllister Street, at Baker Street (415-874-9186 or workshopsf.org). For more recipes, order Strong Waters online.

Republicans flipped North Carolina, a state that hasn't elected a GOP governor since the 1980s, expanding their national lead over Democrats at the statehouse level..
Eleven states held governors' races Tuesday. Democrats were defending eights seats, Republicans three.
By Wednesday afternoon, CNN had projected winners in all but one of the elections -- Washington -- where mail-in ballots to be counted make up about 40% of the votes. It is expected to take several more days before the race can be called.
The latest to be called was in Montana, where Democrat state attorney general Steve Bullock defeated former congressman Rick Hill, a Republican.
In North Carolina, Republican candidate Pat McCrory bested Walter Dalton, the sitting lieutenant governor, CNN projected.
McCrory, who will replace outgoing Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue, would be the first Republican governor elected in North Carolina since 1988.
"There's no doubt that the Republican Party's strength comes from the states, and the RGA's ability to expand our majority provides optimism for the future," said Republican Governors Association Chairman Bob McDonnell.
With their expected wins in North Carolina and the states they were defending, Republicans will have at least 30 governorships nationwide -- the highest number held by either party since 2000, according to the governors association. The all-time high for the GOP was 34 seats in the 1920s.
Democrats hold 18 governorships, with an independent and another to be decided.
Such an advantage will fortify the Republican position against Democratic policies like Obamacare, and give them influence in Washington, even with Barack Obama as president.

WATCH: THE GROVE Series Premiere
Crystal Chappell's brand new web series, THE GROVE, has premiered! THE GROVE tells the story of two families "living, loving, and fighting in a small central California town." Chappell stars along with Robert S. Woods, Jordan Clarke, Jessica Leccia, Beth Maitland, Bobbie Eakes, Michelle Stafford, Lindsey Godfrey, Harrison White, Patrick Kilian, Nadia Bjorlin, Christian LeBlanc, Peter Reckell, Judi Evans and Mark Hapka.
Check out the pilot episode of THE GROVE below (one hour, nine minutes) and let us know what you think.
I just finished watching in HD with a laptop connected to a 52" TV in my living room. The show looks great, has an amazing cast, and the story draws you in.
We Love Soaps just released our our Best of 2012 list and the lack of Beth Maitland on THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS was on it (Biggest Waste of Talent). THE GROVE has rectified that situation! And Maitland's daughter is played by a wacky Nadia Bjorlin. This hysterical duo could be one of the great mother/daughter teams on TV or the web.
ONE LIFE TO LIVE alum Robert S. Woods is fantastic as the father of the flawed Moynihan family.
Crystal Chappell and Jessica Leccia have great chemistry together as Nico and Ivy, and amazingly have a different chemistry on each show they've starred in together (GUIDING LIGHT, VENICE and now THE GROVE).
I don't want to give too much away so watch and enjoy!
Be sure to follow THE GROVE on Twitter at @GroveTheSeries.

Nadia definitely carried her scenes even without dialogue... my favourite Nadia scene was the porch scene when they are trying to order something online, Nadia, Bobbie and Beth...all awesome but especially Nadia, she was too funny.
my favorite scene of Jess/Crystal was when Ivy meets Nico and she repairs her car which was full of Ivy delectable s LOL and the scene by the pool, brought back the GL memories. I loved the scene between Jess/Nadia/Linsey. Awesome.
Bob woods scene at the bar when he was tossing Nico and Ivy on their marriage LMAO!! too funny - January 4, 2013 at 9:15 PM

C&W Formalizes Build-To-Suit Advisory Practice5 Sep, 2007, New York, NYFull service approach includes direct access to global capital markets; clients include corporations and developers In response to increased build-to-suit activity from national and multi-national corporations and developers, Cushman & Wakefield has formalized a build-to-suit specialty practice and has begun offering its services to corporations and developers on a global basis. "As a result of tightening real estate fundamentals nationally and globally, we have formalized a process that we have been executing on an as-needed basis for more than a decade," said Jeff Shell, executive director, who heads up Cushman & Wakefield Build-To-Suit Advisory Services. "Our clients are increasingly demanding solutions to their most complex real estate requirements, and we are pooling the firm's best resources to meet those requirements in the most effective and efficient manner." Lower vacancy rates and rising rental rates are fueling the trend toward build-to-suit activity on a national and global basis, according to Mr. Shell. When working directly on behalf of corporate users, Cushman & Wakefield separates the build-to-suit process into two basic functions: the delivery of a project and the capital necessary to underwrite the occupancy. "We expose both of those pieces to competition in the markets with all of the value created flowing back to our clients," he said. "We can achieve rent (or equivalent) savings in the range of 10 to 20 percent." The services Cushman & Wakefield provides corporate clients through Build-To-Suit Advisory Services include in depth analysis of location alternatives; incentive negotiations; site selection and acquisition; selection and management of architects and engineers; selection and coordination of contractors and/or developers; identification, structuring and placement of capital; move-in and start-up assistance; facilities and property management, and access to global capital sources. Among Cushman & Wakefield's many clients in the build-to-suit arena are Thomson Corporation, Procter & Gamble and Mazda. Increasingly, the firm has been providing capital solutions services to developers, such as Hines, Opus, and H+M. Build-To-Suit Advisory Services provides capital markets expertise to developers for pre-sales or financing of build-to-suit projects. "Developers understand the substantial risks associated with waiting until project completion in order to secure the permanent capital solution. We provide the developer with advice on alternative structures and current pricing as they are competing for these deals and continue through execution of the permanent capital solution, which is often a pre-sale in today's market," said Mr. Shell. "Additionally, we can assist developers and their users with incentive negotiations, location decision analysis, site selection and other areas through an integrated services approach." The Cushman & Wakefield Capital Markets Group provides advice, execution, and investment management services to clients engaged in buying, selling, investing in, financing or building real estate. These services typically are provided to private and institutional owners and investors, as well as corporate owners and occupiers. Cushman & Wakefield is one of the world's largest commercial real estate services firms. Founded in 1917, the firm has 215 offices in 56 countries, and 12,000 talented professionals. Cushman & Wakefield delivers integrated solutions by actively advising, implementing and managing on behalf of landlords, tenants, lenders and investors through every stage of the real estate process. These solutions include representing clients in the buying, selling, financing, leasing and managing of assets. The firm also provides valuation advice, strategic planning and research, portfolio analysis, and site selection and space location assistance, among many other advisory services. To find out more about Cushman & Wakefield, please call 1-800-376-3133, or visit the firm's Web site at www.cushmanwakefield.com.

The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy. We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding of the news we deliver. Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news. We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Baltimore, Maryland, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Baltimore Star.

2012 Chevy 1500 versus 2012 Tundra

my 4runner does it wicked bad.........its the only thing I can say negative about the truck
Posted 15 April 2012 - 04:07 PM
I ultimately went with Ford. I liked the Tundra over the Chevy because of the power, but the dealer used some bait and switch tactics that ticked me off, plus i spoke to another Tundra owner who advised he was getting real world mileage of maybe 13 combination driving, which is worse than my '08 2500HD (6.0 gas, 6 speed)
I truly was interested in a Chevy or GMC also , but the prices i was getting quoted were darn close to a Tundra or a F-150 for what i perceived as a lesser equipped truck (again -- a good dealer makes a lot of difference here though ) .
I went with a eco boost F-150. Mines a 2wd with a 3:15 rear gear ratio. setup like that, mileage has been pretty darn good so far since winter gas is gone (between 19 and 21) -- but i was talking to a guy at the pump one day with a EB 4wd model who said he was getting more like 15
I usually drive my trucks until they are close to worthless anyway due to the miles, so i am not that worried about resale value. Toyota makes a darn nice truck, but i mentally made the choice to go Chevy or Ford --- and did.
I'm also keeping my 08 2500 in case i ever have to tow anything heavy -- it has 125k on it and has been maintenance free except for a power window motor .
Posted 15 April 2012 - 06:02 PM
Like one brand has some magic engineering pixy powder that gives it significantly better mpg?
It does not happen.
Many reasons to pick brand A over brand B..........but they all average about 15mpg driven realistically hard with winter blend gasoline.
22 mpg with and ecoboost 4x4?? Who actually believes that?
But hey.....it said so on the window sticker

I'm with Sk, They owe us and they owe all the prior GM and Chrysler owners that had any "warranties" flushed in the same exchange that robbed all the bondholders and rewarded all the union members.I don't give a crud what any of you union members on this board say. It was robbery and throwing out contract law to do it. I would much rather patch together a 20 year old Ford then spend a nickle on either of those.I have owned Chevy, Dodge, Plymouth and yes even Fiat. None of them have any quality and now we know none of them have any integrity.

The Silverado 5.3 will edge it out in the gas mileage category, but just barely. Maybe 1/2 better highway mpg. The Tundra powerplant is fantastic. Beastly powerful, and silky smooth.
The Silverado has always had a great ride, but the Tundra is no slouch. I have had both, and the Tundra has a feel of quality that is hard to beat.
It is currently the only American made half ton. About half of the F150's are built here, but all of the Tundras are.
The Tundra is made in San Antonio Texas and has 80% US parts content too.

Would anyone try that in a Chevy?
Yes, -- no prolem at all. I've had a 2500HD gas burner for a few years and a ton of miles. I have confidence in the brand. (even though i bought a Ford instead -- its not for any political reasons, -- i like the idea of the Ecoboost concept and i bought into it -- plu)
But then again, its doubtful you would have any problems with any of them , for that haul if they are modified for the occasion (what modifications ? bigger fuel tanks and things? I would assume a publicity stunt for Top Gear would also involve support vehicles if needed as well )
Top Gear could substitute the Tundra with a Chevy/Gmc, dodge, Nissan, Ford and get similar results as long as the vehicles are in equivalent condition to start with no doubt.
While building a house, i worked with subcontractors who drove trucks from all brands that all looked like they had been beat unmercifully with shovels or something, plus getting trailers in and out of muddy construction sites needs 4wd at times, plus owners who are not necessarilly sticklers for routine maintenance --- guys who pull heavy skid steers and small dozers with half tons --------- you name it, all kinds of abuse.
All the brands work pretty good, and i've seen enough of all brands that are over 200k that live their lives at payload capacity with tools in the bed plus pulling heavy trailers to convince me all the casual/light duty user needs to do is pick his color and what logo he wants on the grille and it will probably do fine for years

I wonder if some of the guys who use the piss out of the trucks have an opinion about getting royally screwed ( as a taxpayer, assuming they do pay taxes ) by a government that made a decision to redistribute wealth from bond owners such as retirement funds etc. to a group of union members who had contributed just as much to the financial ills of the company whose value they raided to enrich themselves against 200 years of contract law precedent?I do hope you don't mind if some of us out here in cyberspace and in the real world have an opinion and reason for ourselves about which companies are crooks and which ones have integrity. You drive what you like, your dollars go to support everything about the companies you buy from.I will never pay money for a chevy or a chrysler product.

The brand debate/what's better or worse removed from the equation, I have to agree with this 100%.
I have two GM products currently, but they were bought long before the bailouts, and they will be the last one's I own.
I wouldn't own a Chrysler product again, bailout or not.

Never mind fuel economy but will the quality of the TUNDRA make up for the 8k difference in price????? If I could answer that question I'd have pulled the trigger on a new vehicle already. Now we have a new guy at work... claims he is an x Toyota tech says he never saw a Tundra in a shop for anything other then oil and breaks! He's a beer drinking buddy but you know how that goes... just likes a fishing story!
I like the ford too but I heard it's built in Mexico???... no offence to anyone Mexican but I don't believe these vehicles have the same quality control. My last 02 dodge was built in Mexico... and except for the engine (diesel) the thing is worse for nickle and diming me then my first truck a 1992 chevy s-10 2.8l vs .. so I won't go that route anymore!
I like the fact that Toyotas are built and produced in NA... I believe we have to support that as our economies are tied together... anyone know where the F250 is built? Seriously looking at going to the 6.2l if I am gonna pay 44k for a Tundra...

He drew a parallel between the work of the media and that of the church, saying both worked to communicate "truth, beauty and goodness."
The media also had an important role to play in explaining the way the church works, he said, which is made more complicated by the role played by faith rather than more worldly or political concerns.
The new pope concluded the audience -- which did not include questions -- with a blessing for all the journalists present and their families.
He acknowledged that not all those present were Catholic, saying he gave them his blessing "knowing that you are of different religions, because all of you are children of God."
As a cardinal in Buenos Aires, Francis developed close relations with Argentina's Jewish community.
He wrote to the chief rabbi in Rome this week, saying he strongly hoped to "contribute to the progress of the relations that have existed between Jews and Catholics" since the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s, which redrew the church's relations with the modern world, "in a spirit of renewed collaboration."
On Sunday, Francis will celebrate Mass in Vatican City and for the first time deliver the Angelus, or noon blessing, from his papal apartment window to the crowds gathered below in St. Peter's Square.
The official Mass to inaugurate Francis as the bishop of Rome -- and leader of the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics -- takes place Tuesday.
Reforms to come?
Francis has already struck observers with his simple and humble style since being elected to the papacy -- and prompted speculation that he may bring in wider changes.

County Mayor Shelvy Linville placed a resolution before the County Commissioners on Monday, asking TDOT to hurry along the Hwy 10 renovation project. Linville was responding to a three year project plan put out by Governor Haslam and TDOT, which did not include the construction phase of the Hwy 10 project.
In the resolution, and in written correspondence with Commissioner Schroer, Linville cites "numerous injury accidents and many fatalities" that have occurred on the 1.7 mile stretch of road, and says that the project has been discussed for years, "only to have promises turn into disappointments."
According to TDOT stats, in 2008-2012, there have been four fatalities, 66 injury accidents, and 82 accidents without injury on Hwy 10 between the Trousdale/Macon line and Lafayette city limits.
In response to these complaints, State Senator Mae Beavers and Representative Kelly Keisling announced that they will host a public meeting on Thursday, May 23 at the Macon County Chamber of Commerce in Lafayette to discuss the issue. Present to answer questions will be TDOT's Deputy Commissioner and Chief Engineer Paul Degges.
We spoke to Degges in preparation for the meeting. Citizens are encouraged to bring further questions on Thursday.
Degges explained that every highway project has three phases: engineering, right-of-way and acquisitions, and construction. When TDOT funds the engineering on a project, that means that they've committed to bring the project to completion. In its 2005-2006 budget, TDOT funded the SR-10 project, committing to complete it.
Degges said that at the end of the engineering phase, which costs about 10% of what the whole project will cost, TDOT has a set of plans to use in buying right of way.
Right of way and acquisitions is the next phase, and it costs about 15% of the total project cost. TDOT funded this second phase in their 2011-2012 budget.
This phase involves finishing the rest of the project plan, getting environmental permits, appraising the land, buying the land, and relocating the families who might live on the land. For SR-10, there are 28 parcels of land to buy, and 16 families to relocate. This process, Degges estimated, should be finished by summer of 2014.
"Nationally, the average time from when we start a project to when you're driving on it is about 13-15 years," said Degges. "In TN we're a little better than that; we're about in the 12 year range. This project is pretty much on schedule; we started up in '05 and it'll be ready for construction probably by fiscal year '15."
So why didn't Hwy 10 show up on the three year plan? Degges explained that the three year plan is not the same as a three year set budget.
"This project's construction phase showed up in 2012, in year two of our three year plan. The state of TN only passes an annual budget; we don't pass multi-year budgets. So everything in year two and three were tentative in nature."
In other words, the three year plan is not a three year budget. It's an outline.
"Our heavy construction budget is all Federal funds," Degges continued. "State funds aren't used for these types of projects. When Congress passed the most recent bill in July of last year, it changed the money coming to TN. Congress is taking an approach that appears to steer more dollars toward higher volume roads.
"So the fund code we use to do this type of project was basically cut in half. We used to get about $200 million a year in what we call our STB fund code, and that has dropped to about $100 million. Out of that I have to spend about half on bridges and paving roads. So I'm ending up with around $50 million statewide. And this project by itself is probably a $15, $16 million project.
"No project has been canceled; the project will happen. This is a good project; it's a sound project, so we will get there. But we're one of five states in the US that has no transportation debt. We don't borrow money to build roads. We live within our means. So the project will happen, but we're just going to have to tighten up and make sure we get all the right of way in hand and be ready.
"I know the perception out there is they want to see bulldozers… and I understand the concern, but the bottom line is, we have to be stewards of the dollars."
"What I had hoped to be able to do was to fund it in this fiscal year starting July 1, and then as soon as I finished the right of way, I'd just start with contract. But in reality, [this change] will probably have little if any impact on the completion date of the project."
Degges added that phase two of the project is on schedule, and construction, which would have begun in summer of 2014, is now likely to begin just a little later in the year of 2014.
"I had 311 days set up for appraisals, and 318 days set up for acquisition," said Degges. "Those times overlap about two months, and then during that same time period, I had 179 days lined up for getting permits. So what I was hoping to do was be under contract [for construction] next summer, and it'll probably have to be pushed more towards the end of the year."
The construction phase, he said, will last about 24 months, and the road will remain open to traffic throughout. This puts likely completion time at the end of 2016.
"There's a caveat here," Degges added. "The bill that we use to fund transportation expires next September. And if Congress doesn't pass another bill, we won't have money to build anything. So my job is to be ready. What I don't want is for the money to be there and us not to be ready."

In 1911, 15-year-old Elroy L. Payne dropped out of his Lincoln, Nebraska high school and journeyed to Los Angeles. A year later, he persuaded his parents and seven siblings to join him, and by 1933, the Paynes were the largest manufacturer of gas furnaces in the western United States. That was also the year Elroy painted the company trucks to match the state flower: vivid orange like the california poppy. Throughout the decades, the home-air experts' focus shifted. Today, they repair air conditioners, perform regular maintenance, improve air quality with filters and UV treatments, and sell AC systems.
Payne trucks are still bright orange today, but now they're also fuel-efficient Scions, which the company estimates has prevented 384,000 pounds of carbon from leaking into the air. Likewise, eco-friendly refrigerant, instead of snowman tears, flows through every device technicians install, and the team designs custom energy-efficient "zoning" systems for homes whenever possible.
With the exception of apprentices, all on-staff installers and service technicians have between 10 and 28 years of experience in perfecting air quality and go through a rigorous in-house training program on top of that. Payne specialists are so confident in their AC-whispering abilities that they insure their repairs with a one-year guarantee. Specialists adhere to a strict set of policies on the job, promising to be punctual, tidy, and respectful of clients' homes, first burning symbolic offerings in crankier furnaces. Though the company offers products by York, Lennox, and Carrier, technicians do not work on commission, and pride themselves on eschewing pushy sales tactics.
For the past decade, Precise Window Detailing's uniformed technicians have been removing built-up grime and seasonal debris from area windows. Leveraging eco-friendly cleaning products, the technicians typically work in teams of two—with one cleaner focusing on exteriors and the other on interiors—as they boost both curb appeal and cloud appeal in the eyes of biplane pilots.
With festive specimens starting at 2 feet and stretching skyward to more than 10 feet, the Christmas tree lot at A1 Christmas Trees, Lights & Installations holds an array of evergreen offerings destined to liven up home interiors. Holiday hunters can peruse and pick from the rows of Douglas Firs, admired for their dense, bushy shape; Grand Firs, dark green and soft to the touch; and ever-popular Noble Firs, soft blue-green and grown only in the Pacific Northwest. When not showing visitors around their tree farm, the professional merry-makers also adorn homes with holiday lighting installations, removing the hassle and danger of climbing up on the roof and lassoing fluorescent reindeer.
Technicians keep homes' air quality, temperature, and energy usage as healthy and efficient as possible. The certified, bonded, and insured team of specialists lavish domiciles in an expansive variety of eco-friendly services. Air-conditioning units, furnaces, ducts, and dry-clean-only moats are all subject to the Envirocare fleet's highly trained digits. By installing, repairing, replacing, and maintaining the gear that keeps houses humming, pros leave customers with energy rebates, warmer homes, and easier breathing.
Wet Feet Pools' technicians tend to the cleanliness and appearance of swimming pools in hotels, health clubs, and condominiums, so they have ample know-how when it comes to keeping homeowners' basins in mint condition. The team maintains, repairs, and even remodels waterworks including swimming pools, spas, and fountains. Services range from regular swimming-pool maintenance and handrail installation to fixture replacement and barnacle removal. A quality guarantee backs the company's work—if customers aren't utterly satisfied, Wet Feet Pools refunds the first month's service costs (minus equipment fees, if applicable).
