Student Athlete of the Week -- Caroline Porco, Albemarle
Posted: 3:30 PM Dec 6, 2012
Reporter: Lindsay Joy
Student-Athlete of the Week -- Caroline Porco, Albemarle
Albemarle senior libero Caroline Porco was just named to the all-region second team. She's also a two time Commonwealth District first team honoree, but Porco's individual accomplishments have not meant as much to her as the success she and her team enjoyed this year.
"Getting to states was just such a good feeling," Porco says of the Patriots 29-2 season. "Winning the regional quarterfinal, and we knew that we were in states, which was what we wanted to do, that was such a good feeling and I think I'll always remember that."
Albemarle Volleyball Coach Mark Ragland says Porco has always strived for more than individual success. "Caroline is one of those kids who's going to do whatever she needs to to make the team successful. It's always been team first with Caroline."
As a defensive specialist for the Patriots, she didn't always get the same recognition as the hitters, but she helped lead her team to a 29-2 record this year, by doing the little things well.
"My favorite is like getting a good dig, because that really like takes the wind out of the other team and brings momentum to your team," says Porco.
She says the same teammwork that helped the Patriots win on the court translates to the classroom. Her coursework includes three AP classes this year, and she says it was manageable during the season thanks to the time spent studying on long bus rides.
"It was okay because we can help each other, because a lot of us are in the same classes, so we like help each other with homework and we understand."
Coach ragland says Porco's academic skills have helped her become a better volleyball player over the years, and he thinks they'll continue to do so.
"The way she reads the game and the way she's developed over the last two years, I think her best days are still ahead of her if she decides to play in college. She's going to make some college coach very happy when she walks onto that campus for the first time."

Recent Research and Commentary
Texas Families Show Strong Demand for More School Choice
December 5, 2013, 4:37pmCalifornia's AB 917 Puts Charter Schools in Jeopardy
September 4, 2013, 2:06pmA bill requiring charter school supporters to seek consent from both unionized school employees and teachers before establishing charter schools recently passed the California state Assembly, creating a potential roadblock to future charter school expansion
Accelerate DC Public School Improvement Through Charter-Like Autonomy
Budgeting control, choice, competition, and weighted student funding formula increase school performance
September 3, 2013In 2013, District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) students in traditional public schools and charter schools made significant academic gains, giving validation to DCPS's ongoing school reform efforts. Test score data from the 2013 D.C. Comprehensive Assessment System shows that in traditional public schools students improved their proficiency in math and reading by 3.6 percentage points and 3.9 percentage points respectively, bringing proficiency rates to 49.5 percent for math and 47.4 percent for reading. Charter schools in the district have improved even more, with a 58.6 percent proficiency rate in math and 53 percent proficiency rate in reading. These scores reflect rapid improvement from the pre-reform performance of 2007 when district proficiency rates in reading (34.7 percent proficient) and math (28.5 percent proficient) were less than 35 percent.
The higher performance of DCPS's charter schools helps make a compelling case that more should be done to offer all DC schools more charter-like autonomies so school leaders can use resources to make decisions that best meet the needs of their students. Charter schools doing so well on reading and math tests give principals more autonomy and the ability to use their budget authority to drive instructional change, such as implementing new programs tailored to their student's needs.

Alfred Martin Janson
© www.mic.no
Alfred Janson can look back on a career of almost 60 years in Norwegian musical life. He made his debut as an accordionist in the Oslo restaurant milieu at the age of 12. He also had work with the Norwegian broadcasting corporation NRK and was offered a European tour, but his mother put a stop to that!
In fact, as a piano teacher, she played an important role in his musical development. His piano debut took place in Oslo in 1962.
As a performing musician he has aroused particular attention in the world of jazz, but diversity is his hallmark. He has himself said that he is interested in almost everything "except Wagner and Viennese operettas".
Many of the works bear the marks of his background in jazz: among his earliest compositions we find several for a jazz ensemble, like Patrice Lumumba (1961) for piano, bass and drums.
From 1962 he began to compose more scored music. He made a name with works like November 1962 for piano and Cradle Song for 48 Strings and Soprano (1963).
In 1966 his orchestral work Construction and Hymn won a prize for the best non-Dutch work in the composition competition at the Bilthoven Festival. The same year he had his international breakthrough at the ISCM World Music Days with Canon for chamber orchestra and tape.
Other major works that can be mentioned are the ballet Mot Solen ('Anticlockwise') (1969), the opera Et fjelleventyr ('A Mountain Fairyale') (1972), Prelude for Violin and Orchestra (1975), Interlude for Orchestra (1985), National Anthem (1988) and Life Frieze for cello, choir and orchestra (1999).
It is difficult to fit Alfred Janson into any stylistic pigeonhole. His earlier works were in a modernist idiom, but gradually he moved in a more tonal direction. He is himself proud that Nocturne (1967) for mixed choir, cello, percussion and harp has been described as the breakthrough of 'the New Friendliness' in the Nordic countries. He is often spoken of as a modern romantic who has been inspired by both jazz and electronics. His works reflect creative strength, originality and willpower, but at the same time have a light, lyrical undertone.
He has often been inspired by political themes, and is presumably the only Norwegian composer who has managed to provoke a demonstration against a performance at the Oslo Concert hall, because the work in question was a tribute to Arne Treholt, who had been convicted as a spy.
In the more humorously political genre, Valse Triste stands as a milestone – a not entirely uncritical collage based on Norwegian cultural debate in 1970. In the latter genre we should also mention the choral suite Erotical-Political with a text by Arild Nyquist, where he is probably the only composer in the world to use the tempo marking Hambo Lento (the hambo is a traditional Swedish dance in triple time).

Medina Journal-Register
Medina Journal-Register — ALBION — An Albion man already imprisoned for driving while intoxicated and facing contraband and drug possession charges in Wyoming County was sentenced on a separate offense Monday in Orleans County Court.
County Court Judge James Punch sentenced Jason Biaselli to an indeterminate sentence of between two and four years for what Assistant District Attorney Susan Howard described as a "bail jumping" incident.
Biaselli was convicted for a 2011 felony driving while intoxicated offense, but he did not show up for sentencing. He was later found and jailed. He faces charges in Wyoming County,
including felony possession of a controlled substance and promoting prison contraband after allegedly smuggling crack cocaine into the Attica Correctional Facility.
He was sentenced Monday under the second-felony offender guidelines due to the 2011 offense. Defendants accused of being second-felony offenders have the option to contest the status, which results in a hearing; or to either affirm the status or remain silent, either which are considered as accepting the designation.
Biaselli initially chose to remain silent, which prompted Punch to say that he would not have to abide by the terms of a plea offer in that case. That led Biaselli to quickly admit the earlier conviction.
• Michael Brown, charged alongside Nicholas Thurley with assault of a corrections officer at the county jail, will receive new legal representation — a task that may prove challenging.
Punch said he was concerned that many of the jail inmates who witnessed the altercation had been previously represented by the Orleans County Public Defender's Office, which would have raised an issue at trial. Assistant Public Defender Nathan Pace was Brown's counsel Monday.
"There's a strong likelihood this could be a conflict," Cardone said after reviewing his potential witness list.
Punch rescheduled Monday's pre-trial hearings to Feb. 25.
• The district attorney's office submitted plea offers to a pair of defendants Monday after pre-trial hearings.
Michael Harris was offered a plea by Howard that would reduce the charged D Felony driving while intoxicated down to a E Felony. Howard said Harris refused a breath test after being pulled over by Albion Police in a vehicle containing two open containers of alcoholic beverages.
Pace said he would like to investigate the details of the stop, which Harris is contesting.
District Attorney Joe Cardone offered a third-degree attempted sale of controlled substances sentence to Justin Wright. Cardone said Wright, 23, was charged after a series of transactions with an undercover Orleans County Major Felony Crime Task Force.
• Punch ruled that two men, Joseph Stefko and Jason Houghton, would be designated as Level 3 Sex Offenders after reviewing a series of court documents and evaluations for each.
The designation is used in cases of high risk for repeat offenses or threats to public safety. In both cases, the rulings were determined using a formula that takes into account the extent of previous offenses and the age of both parties.

Bud Billiken Parade and Picnic
Bud Billiken Parade and Picnic | |
Barack Obama float for 2004 U.S. Senate race at the 2004 parade.
Genre | Parade |
Date(s) | August 10, 2013 (previous) August 9, 2014 (upcoming) |
Location(s) | Chicago, Illinois United States (Bronzeville/South Side) |
Years active | 1929–present |
Website | |
http://www.budbillikenparade.com |
The Bud Billiken Parade and Picnic (also known as The Bud Billiken Day Parade) is an annual parade in Chicago, Illinois, and the oldest and largest African American parade in the United States. Since 1929, it has always been held on the second Saturday in August.[1][2] The idea for the parade came from Robert S. Abbott, the founder of the Chicago Defender. It is now the second largest annual parade in the United States.[3] The focus of the parade is on the betterment of Chicago youth. The parade features celebrities, politicians, businessmen, civic organizations and youth. It occurs in the Bronzeville neighborhood on Chicago's south side and concludes in Washington Park. National and international celebrities have attended and some have served as the parade's Grand Marshal. The 84th Annual Parade took place on August 10, 2013, and was televised on WLS-TV.[4] In 2014, the second Saturday in August falls on August 9, 2014.
Bud Billiken is a fictional character created in 1923 by Abbott, who had been pondering the possibility of adding a youth section to the newspaper. While dining at a Chinese restaurant he noticed a Billiken. Some of the early Billiken columns were written by Willard Motley, who would later become a prominent African-American novelist. During the early 1930s, names of international youth appeared in the Bud Billiken section of the newspaper every week. Between 1930-34, approximately 10,000 names appeared and were archived in the Carter G. Woodson Regional Library of the Chicago Public Library.[5] During the Great Depression, the Bud Billiken character served as a symbol of pride, happiness and hope for black residents.[6] The character gained prominence in a comic strip and the Chicago Defender newspaper.[6]
Although the character was created in 1923, the parade did not begin until David Kellum initiated it in 1929 as a celebration of the "unity in diversity for the children of Chicago". It has since grown to become a locally televised event—the second largest parade in the nation.[5] The parade, which began on August 11, 1929,[7] now includes politicians, beauty queens, celebrities, musical performers, and dozens of marching, tumbling and dancing groups.[6] It has grown from a locally sponsored event to one with major corporate presence and is seen as a signal of the impending end of summer and beginning of the new school year.[6] As such the parade sponsors raise money for college scholarships for local youth.[6]
The parade route has changed over the years. The original route was along Michigan Avenue beginning at 31st Street, then turned east into Washington Park. Concern for north-south traffic flow caused rerouting the parade route to South Parkway (now named Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive), which runs directly into the park. At various times, street repairs have necessitated use of the Michigan route, but the current route is now the King Drive route.[7]
Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll of Amos 'n' Andy fame were the first guests of honor in the original parade. Robert S. Abbott led the first parade in his Rolls Royce. Dr. Marjorie Stewart Joyner, president of the Chicago Defender Charities, Inc., organized the parade for over 50 years. Numerous high-profile celebrities and dignitaries have attended the parade over the years, including U.S. President Harry S. Truman, Michael Jordan, Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Duke Ellington, Oprah Winfrey, Diana Ross, Lena Horne, Ethel Waters, Cab Calloway, Paul Robeson and Billie Holiday.[6][7]
Truman rode alongside John H. Sengstacke, who was Abbott's nephew and took over the Chicago Defender in 1948, and Mayor Richard J. Daley in the 1956 Parade.[8] Recent parades have featured popular musical acts as concert performers at the post-parade picnic. In 2006, approximately 26 million people saw the parade in person or on television,[4] including 25 million television viewers and 1.2 million attendees.[2] The 2006 parade also included 74,000 participants and 160 floats and vehicles.[2] The 2008 parade was dedicated to actor and comedian Bernie Mac (star of The Bernie Mac Show),[9] a native of Chicago, who died an hour before the start of the parade.
At the 78th annual parade in 2007, then-U.S. Senator Barack Obama served as the Grand Marshal for the second year in a row. Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley attended, and march participants included U.S. Senator Dick Durbin, Lieutenant Governor of Illinois Pat Quinn and the Rev. Al Sharpton.[10] One float represented the Chicago 2016 Committee and included past Chicago Olympians Bob Pickens, Willie May, Diane Simpson-Bundy and Kenny Johnson as well as the son of Danell Nicholson. The Chicago Bulls' mascot made a guest appearance.[11] The parade has categorized contests for participants such as best float, and best marching band.[12]
It takes place in Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood, starting near 39th Street and South Dr. Martin Luther King Drive at the southern border of the Douglas community area, south of the landmark Victory Monument. It then continues south to 55th Street at Washington Park. This route covers approximately 2 miles (3.2 km). This route takes the parade through the Grand Boulevard and Washington Park community areas.[13]
The parade begins at 10 A.M. and ends at 4 P.M. After the parade visitors are welcomed to stay in Washington Park for the picnic. The picnic has various festivities and vendor booths.[13] The post-parade festivities often include a concert.
The 2003 parade featured B2K.[7] The concert was free with virtually unlimited space in the park for viewing. However, the crowd became unruly causing the concert to be curtailed. Over 40 attendees were taken to hospitals as a result.[14] The 2006 parade featured Yung Joc,[15] and the 2007 parade featured Pretty Ricky.[11][16] However, it seems neither picnic included a concert.

Costco has this 4-channel NVR system [costco.com] with outdoor IP bullet cameras and network video recorder DVR for $699. That's not exactly a slick price, but then I haven't seen any especially low prices on NVR/IP cam surveillance systems yet.
On the plus side, this post [ubnt.com] in a security cam forum describes why the cameras are so good which is why I bookmarked the product page in case of a future price drop. BJs has the version with an 8 channel NVR [bjs.com] (but just 4 cams included) on sale right now for $999 (was $1299 last week). SD's link doesn't seem to work so you can copy/paste this until they fix it (remove the spaces): http : // www . bjs.com/store/q-see-8-channel-h-264-dvr-with-1tb-hard-drive-and-4-hd-720p-ip-cameras.qc808-461-1.html I'm sure prices will drop on this technology, but if you need it now and you've got that kind of money to spend then I'm sure these are very nice systems.

I picked up this system from Costco and I'd like to know what's required to add audio to it. It just has RCA connectors for audio in. Can I use any microphone or are there specific ones made for security systems? The manual just says "any line level microphone" can be used.

I love this so much, Had to order it as the store in Alaska does not stock it or have a display. If they had them I would go and buy a 2nd unit now. I got 3 other craftsman tool carts 26" and would like to have the new Harley in a 40" and have 2 of them they hold lots of tools. It looks great too. It is a very heavy unit so you need 2 people to set it up, But you will love it when it all set up. I had to wait for about 3 weeks to get it, Wish they stocked them at the store.

We have been reporting how innovators around the world have been using their iPads in ingenious ways all the time. Remember the iPad diary and its magic locket or the iPad cash register. This time, well take you to a field that isnt traditionally related to technology art. But as we advance in the new millennium, technology has started infiltrating in every single sector of human activity.
Meet Japanese artist Seikou Yamaoka who has posted some videos of himself creating beautiful drawings on his iPad. To do so, he makes use of the ArtStudio app and a lot of swaps. The videos found on the Internet are only a few minutes long but Yamaoka actually spent five hours working on his digital masterpieces. He created with his magic fingers the exact replica of Johannes Vermeers famous painting. In another video he paints a Japanese girl.
The images amaze the viewers with the complexity and degree of detail displayed in them. Every portrait seems more like an actual photograph. Yamaoka is not a stranger of creating art on Apple devices. He previously worked magic with his fingers on the iPod Touch using the same extremely cheap ArtStudio app.
The little software can be purchased by anybody who wants to try their hand at art for just $2.99. And if you think Yamaoka is only a digital artist, you should also check out his other videos. For example, the one where he uses watercolors to paint the portrait of a Japanese girl wearing a traditional kimono.

Fall fertilizer application considerations
Harvesting of soybeans and corn has just begun in South Dakota. Crop plans for next year will soon begin as producers choose hybrids, varieties, and determine crop nutrient inputs. Currently, the climate is trending to be very dry which could influence 2014 crop plans. Fertilizer purchased in the fall typically has been lower priced and therefore more attractive for crop budgets. There are other fall fertilization considerations as well.
The International Plant Nutrition Institute has developed the 4R approach to fertilizer management which is:
- The right fertilizer source.
- Applied at the right rate.
- Applied in the right place.
- Applied at the right time.
(For more information visit the 4R Nutrient Stewardship Portal). Depending on the nutrient to be applied there are several fertilizer sources. Common nitrogen sources are anhydrous ammonia (82-0-0), urea (46-0-0) and UAN (28 or 32-0-0) while MAP (11-52-0), DAP (18-46-0), and 10-34-0 (ammonium poly-phosphate) are the main sources for phosphorus and also contain some nitrogen. The primary potassium source is potash (0-0-60) which contains both potassium and chloride (45% Cl). Other fertilizer sources are available but not commonly used. Dry fertilizers are usually broadcast applied while liquids are generally banded. However, there are exceptions to both depending on the type of equipment used.
Nitrogen applied in the fall could be susceptible to several loss pathways. Losses may come from volitilization of urea containing fertilizers that are surface applied and not incorporated with tillage or rainfall. Nitrogen fertilizer in the nitrate form or converted to nitrate in the soil is susceptible to leaching losses and de-nitrification losses if soils become extremely wet and warm prior to crop uptake. In addition, gaseous loss can occur with anhydrous ammonia applied in extremely dry or very wet soil. Nitrogen probably shouldn't be fall applied as several studies have indicated possible N losses from fall application. In one study at the Southeast Research farm near Beresford from 1990-2006 in a corn/soybean rotation, the late fall urea application yielded 10 bu/a less when compared to the split N application (½ in spring, ½ sidedress). If fall N applications are used, apply after soil temperatures fall below 50° F. In addition, urea fertilizers should not be surface applied without incorporation and fall applications of nitrate containing fertilizers (UAN) are not recommended. Avoid fall applications of N fertilizers on coarse textured soils or soils prone to spring flooding.

User Review: The North Face Women's Denali Jacket
Source: bought via a "pro deal"
Functional features and durability outshine the peculiar trendiness of this workhorse fleece.
- Nylon protecting fleece in high-abrasion areas
- Durability
- Quality fleece
- Boxy cut makes it a great topper but hard to layer under shells
- Ribbon pulls on zippers are flimsy
- Ubiquitous, trendy, usurped by the lay-masses
The ubiquitous TNF Denali is a workhorse 300 weight Polartec fleece with double nylon covering the collar, shoulders and upper body, elbows, and hem. There is a vertical chest pocket and two side pockets, all zippered and featuring somewhat flimsy ribbon pulls. The sleeve hems are slightly elastized; the bottom hem has an elastic drawcord which is useful due to the jacket's boxy shape.
I own two Denalis (one is 7 years old, the other is 5) and can attest to their durability and smart design. The Polartec fleece wears well and doesn't pill terribly, but the areas that would show wear the soonest, elbows and shoulders abraded by pack straps, are protected by durable nylon so the fleece remains in great shape.
I use the Denali as a topper or jacket because it is very roomy and boxy and doesn't layer easily under athletically-shaped shells. A Patagonia down sweater can fit underneath for extra warmth. Overall a great piece of gear with enduring design that is worth owning despite its weird "fashion item" status.

Kucinski Academy of Music awards Grossman scholarships
The Leo Kucinski Academy of Music (LKAM) at Morningside College has announced the 2006 recipients of the John Grossman Memorial Scholarship for string students, established in honor of the late John Grossman, long-time music educator in Nebraska and Iowa.
Violinist Teniesha Kessler, daughter of Jerry and Deb Kessler of Castana, Iowa, received the first-place scholarship award of a full year's tuition for instruction at the academy.
Cellist Klayton Hoefler, son of Ken and Karen Hoefler of Battle Creek, Neb., received the second-place scholarship award of a half-year's tuition for instruction at the academy.
Kessler is a sophomore at West Monona High School and a student of Jameson Cooper, member of the Euclid Quartet. She has been a member of the Sioux City Symphony's Youth Orchestras program for the past five years and is currently principal second violinist for the Youth Symphony. She is a member of the Con Brio Quartet and performs duo and trio work with her parents. She was recognized for her outstanding potential and leadership by the Sioux City Symphony Guild for the academic year 1999-2000 and by the symphony's Youth Orchestras program for the academic year 2003-2004.
Hoefler is a freshman at Park Avenue Christian School in Norfolk, Neb., and is a student of Joseph Shufro, associate professor of music at Morningside College. He is an honor roll student and member of the Bible Quiz Team at Park Avenue Christian School. Hoefler is also active in soccer and basketball.
The LKAM opened in the fall of 2004 and focuses on private instruction, monthly workshops, and performance classes for student musicians from beginner to high school. Through a partnership between the Sioux City Symphony Orchestra and Morningside College, the academy directs the symphony's three youth orchestras and the Early String Program. The Youth Orchestras program includes the Youth Symphony, for advanced high school and college-aged students; the Philharmonia, for high intermediate level students who are preparing to audition for the Youth Symphony; and the Symphonette, for beginning and intermediate violin, viola, cello, and bass players.

[Rooted Android 4.2] Stickmount and Avast Don't Work
After upgrading to 4.2 (rooted),
Stickmount - I can see "usbstorage" inside my file manager but it just has an empty "sda1" folder. (My usb drive has files in it.)
Avast - It says "could not write to /system directory (mount: Device or resource busy)"
Any ways to solve these problems?
Thanks! - 11-14-2012, 04:45 AM #2
Re: [Rooted Android 4.2] Stickmount and Avast Don't Work
For Stickmount (and possible Avast as well) you might just need to wait for the dev to update the app for 4.2. Since the source was just released yesterday they might need a few days, hopefully will take care of it soon for you. I know among other things that 4.2 changed the way the sdcard is partitioned to allow for multi-user support so that's going to have an effect on many apps.

As any parent knows, toy train sets can get expensive. But $2 million? Robert Mercer, a top executive at Renaissance Technologies, has accused a custom model railroad designer of overcharging him by nearly that amount for an elaborate toy railroad installed in his home on Long Island, according to a complaint filed in Central Islip Federal Court. In court documents, Mercer claims that the correct amount for the labor and materials should be closer to $704,669, and that the bill was "wrongfully and fraudulently" padded. The model reportedly has museum-quality detail and is half the size of a basketball court.

Hmm, it must have been an important text if you went thru the trouble to type all that out. Yeah, I think it's pretty much lost forever. Ask the person to resend it?
I haven't had that issue, but I have missed iMessages lately. They'll go through on my iPad, but skip my iPhone. Its weird. |

Hi all, I am getting maple strip flooring on my floor. i'm not sure if its pre-finished or not. i heard that pre-finished is not good and that if you scratch it or spill water on it, you can't fix it. is this true? what have you heard about this?
and what exactly happens if you spill water on it?
I can tell you that flooring came from a very well regarded store that's been in business a long time, major manufacturer (Canadian) so unless the mfg slipped in some lesser goods, it was supposed to be a good quality floor with a 20 year warranty and all but the warning is fair game.
Re: engineered floors. Most engineered floors have the same thickness of solid wood as you will find above the tongue and groove assembly on solid. This means most engineered floors can be refinished similarly to solid. The "veneer" concept is a popular misconception.
Reading DBDs bad experience with prefinished brings to mind that while she paid for high end, she was probably not given it. A nasty little contractor trick that applies to many materials esp. roofing and flooring. There is a bustling black market for hardwood floors and the counterfeit stuff comes complete with look-alike packaging for the real deal! You need to be very careful who you are dealing with and what you are getting.
I got a very bad taste for prefinished in one new build I had. It was a dark stain, good company, good quality, and it drove me nuts. The company finally pulled it out and replaced it because of the problems I had with it but it annoyed me to no end for them to say I should get a light colour just so I wouldn't notice the type of issues the floor had. This, to me, is not a something you tell a customer. "you know you won't see the defects if you get a different colour". Give me a break. How about no defects?
Anyway, I did get water on that floor (the dishwasher overflowed the first time I used it) and it seeped between the joints even though I was right there mopping it up. That was the kill point for me as a site finished floor doesn't have that issue at all as the joints aren't there to let the water seep . A few drips aren't an issue but a full glass of something spilling could mean you get that seeping.
Anyway, because the finish is basically only on the top of the boards, they swelled and the finish came peeling off. Along with that, the gaps in the floor boards (they are allowed to leave up to the width of a credit card between boards) and the stain/finish only going so far down the sides meant I saw stripes of natural wood colour shooting across my floor. They also were visible where they cut the length of the board as that stain ends on the top when that happens. Again, that wouldn't happen with a site stained and sealed floor. The little grooves also meant vacuuming to get the dust and crumbs out vs just dry mopping.
Now the house I have now has a pre-finished floor but it has no bevels and is laid tight, no spaces of any sort. Even being a dark stain it's not got the same issues as that higher priced one I had in that new house. So installation and edge type is everything but the folks who did that new house were well regarded, had done it all as per normal standards, and it just didn't cut it at all.
In two houses I've had the site stained and sealed and it was a breeze to live with. I think the finish was harder too although I have no idea if that was because they were older floors (and maybe had a more durable finish on them) or what, but they didn't scratch the way the one in this house or that new house did. They still scratch, just not as easily with me living about the same way in all of them. Three of those floors of mine were oak, one was maple (the one in the new house).
What you may run into is builders and installers prefer the pre-finished as it's a lot less work for them. It's actually getting quite difficult to find stores/builders who will even consider site stained/sealed installs because it takes them 3 or 4 days vs 1 to do and the place has to be dust free for the finish to be right. So way more hassle for them.
Meanwhile if I can warn you about anything, when you are picking out floors, if you go with pre-finished take a look at the samples they make up very closely. Just looking from above will not show you how the stain is on the sides. You need to bring it up to eye level and look across the sample to see it. Yes, keeping the stain close to the original wood colour helps a lot but that does limit what colours you can choose. Also educate yourself on the hardness of each type of wood.
For refinishing, all wood is limited by how thick it is. They can refinish pre-finished just as with any wood but the number of times is the same issue when it comes to how much wood will be removed. So the engineered floors have almost no chance because they are more of veneer, while solid wood gives you the option. Unless you are really hard on floors you shouldn't have to refinish more often than every 10 years or more. Also there are new products out now that can be applied to 'renew' finishes if they are applied before the top coat is totally worn off so that can save some time and expense I suppose.
And when it comes to that parquet... yes it's usually glued down. I would imagine a call to a flooring store would get you info on how they remove it. It might make more sense to cut it out, subfloor and all and take it out in sheets. That would save labour time and I guess you'd have to price out that and laying a new subfloor vs trying to keep the existing subfloor intact. You can hope the original install was not up to par and maybe it will come up easily...
Ha! Well we've been renovating for about 15 years now, and I tend to research the heck out of anything I do, so I've picked up a few things here and there! I know parquet is normally glued down. "Ruined" would be a bit of a gamble. If its really well glued, you'll end up with a lot of residue and probably some bits of parquet stuck to your subfloor. With some effort I imagine you can get the subfloor to the point where you can either refloor directly over it or you can put down another layer of sub over it to start fresh. In some situations you can put a new floor over a finished floor, but personally it would never be my first choice.
Old school snobbery mostly! It costs more and is more work so it must be better, right? Actually, early prefinished floors (like the first generation of just about anything) really were not very good. The technology and methodology has come a long way and it is by far the most common installation now. But there are still lots of people who like the old school way of doing anything. Other reasons for site finished is that you can be very custom in terms of stain colour and finish (eg just oiled, different levels of gloss on poly, etc.), there is no micro-bevel between the boards, and the film of finish goes right across the joints between boards. On that last point, this can be a plus or a minus. All wood floors expand and contract with fluctuations in humidity levels. Because site finished floors have the finish (poly) going right across all the boards, expansion and contraction can cause some cracking of the finish on the joints. The more stable your humidity, the less of an issue that would be.
For sure. As long as you are talking about real hardwood (ie not laminate). Real hardwood (both solid and engineered) can be sanded and refinished, generally up to 3 times. With pre-finished, the first time is a bigger job because of the harder finish and the bevel, but its all doable. Refinishing floors is a job for the pros anyway. We did our own once. Then we found out what it would have cost to have it professionally done. It really was not worth the time and money we put into it ourselves!
Nothing happens to it. Most hardwood installed these days is pre-finished. It just makes life easier. Also, prefinished hardwood generally has 5 - 7 coats of finish and is UV baked on. Site finished generally has only 2 - 3 coats, air dried. Both can be refinished on site, generally 2 or 3 times. The "downside" of prefinished, if you consider it one, is that there is a slight groove at each joint, though most good companies are using such a micro-bevel now that it is pretty irrellevant. I have prefinished hardwood throughout my main floor, including by three entrances and in the kitchen. I spill water on it daily. Also coffee, food, road salt and a million other things. It still looks great. Small spills have sometimes sat for a day or so before being noticed. No problem. If you have a big sprawling spill, just clean it up right away, which I would hope you would do anyway! The real catch is - buy good quality and install it right. A good quality pre-finished floor will look great for years! There are $2.50 per square foot floors and there are $20 per square foot floors. Generally, if you go to a good flooring place, expect to pay in the $6 - $8 range for decent prefinished flooring in a non-exotic wood, plus installation (generally $2 - $4 per sq foot, depending on the details of the job). We got Mirage flooring, generally considered to be a good consumer brand. Vintage is another, and also Mercier.

Education (2010 Q4)
While urban India has made very impressive progress to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century, rural school education in India never quite made it out of the nineteenth. This is especially true with respect to science education due to the lack of adequate laboratories. On the global scene, India's contribution to science and technology is quite noteworthy. But education at the rural school level has suffered from benign neglect. Whereas in metropolitan India we see the wonders of technology such as satellite communication and super computers; in rural India we see poverty, a lack of basic infrastructure, and an abundance of superstitions. Vidnyanvahini's vision is to reduce this gap as much as possible at the educational level. Our organization reaches out to rural school children and offers them a means of learning science through laboratory experiments. We accomplish this using a Mobile Science Lab developed by our organization's founders.

Faculty Member 1972 - 2003 (retired)
Chair, Dept. of AccountingProgram Director, Masters of Science in AccountingVice President of FinanceSpecial Assistant to the ProvostAssociate Vice President for Information Services
PhD, Accounting, University of Houston
Address by Dr. John Eshelman honoring Dr. Virginia L. Parks Spring 2004 At the commencement ceremonies, Dr. Virginia Parks will be honored with the rank of professor emeritus for her 32 years of excellent service as faculty member in the Department of Accounting. The rank speaks particularly to teaching excellence, and that is certainly an important part of her contribution to SU, but its only a part. Its a privilege to be the person to introduce her today, because she and I have often worked closely together, so I have seen first hand the differences she's made in her many roles. And, because she and I have been good friends through these three decades. Virginia came to Seattle University in 1972 as Assistant Professor of Accounting. Her rise was swift. She became chair of the Accounting Department in 1973, and in 1975 was appointed the first director of the Master of Science in Accounting program which she helped initiate. In 1976, things really began to happen. When Fr. Sullivan was appointed president early that year, it took him about three minutes to conclude that he did not have the right vice president for finance. So he created a vacancy. He asked Virginia Parks to assist in the interim, was impressed with her work, and shortly thereafter, asked her to take the position permanently. Vice President for Finance was not an enviable position at SU in 1976, because we were still digging out painfully from a very deep financial hole. Virginia was Fr. Sullivan's right-hand person in righting the university's financial ship in the first years of his presidency. After ten years as VP-Finance, in 1986, Virginia determined to go back to her first love, the classroom. Then, in 1993, the university agreed to acquire the School of Law from University of Puget Sound. Acquiring a law school is not like walking into a grocery store and buying a loaf of bread. It is a very complex transaction, involving two universities, faculty, staff, the Bar Association, the accrediting agencies, the federal government, and so on. As Special Assistant to the Provost, she took the lead in working out all the many, many details for a successful transition, and did it superbly. Then, back to the classroom and a stint as Associate Dean of the Albers School. Her next incarnation came in 1997 when she was appointed Associate Vice President for Information Services. IS made major progress under her leadership. In 2003, after stepping down from IS, she took on the challenge of Interim Director of the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning, and that center is now launched and a permanent director hired. Few people in the university's history have made such important contributions in so many different areas. I don't know which of them she is most proud of, but I do know that her students from thirty years back still speak of her with affection and gratitude for the quality of the education she gave them. Please recognize Professor Emerita Virginia Parks.

10/4/2010 - "Two things: First of all, we had our Christmas party last night, and your ornaments were a smashing success. People were walking around wanting to see what everybody else got. They wanted to know where I got them, so you having your sticker on the back with the website address is really cool. The ornaments were the hit of the party. For me, working with you was exceptional. You fixed my problems and got me my missing ornaments right on time. I'm very pleased with your service and your product. Excellent experience.Doug L."
10/14/2008 - "I just received an ornament I ordered for my sister-in-law, how nice! I am very impressed and will continue to order these wonderful and special ornaments in the future-I can't wait to see her reaction! Thank you!Emily"
7/1/2007 - "I just received an email telling me that the ornament had been shipped. This is such a wonderful surprise. My daughter got married in July and of all the ornaments we looked at, the one I ordered was the only one she wanted. I had been looking at it days before but didn't take the time then to order it. Of course when I did order it, there was the notice that it would not ship until Jan. I was mad at myself for procrastinating, but knew that no matter when it arrived it was still the one she wanted. She is going to be so surprised when it arrives. Thank you so much for taking the extra time to fill my order. May God richly bless you and yours this holiday season.Carol W."

Hang tight!
Recipe by Erin
"Tender juicy chicken wings, with a crisp outside and Asian twist. A gourmet original, don't get overwhelmed with the ingredients, change them to suit your taste."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 cup white wine
1/4 cup barbeque sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon cornstarch
20 chicken wings
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 lime, cut into wedges
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Yum! These were really good! I made then exactly as stated and they turned out great! We had brown rice and steamed broccoli to make a balanced meal. Thanks for a great recipe.
The sauce was weird. Didn't even put it on the wings after I made it. Rather have the regular hot wings I guess.
15 Ratings
What a FANTASTIC marinade! We don't eat wings very often (and never at home) so I just made the marinade (subbing out the sundried tomatoes for 1 tbsp ketchup) and added the garlic powder and chili powder to the marinade on the stove. I also left out the cornstarch (didn't have it). Then I used it to marinate chicken breasts and steak, and holy cow! Tons of flavour! I went out and bought sesame oil and white wine for this recipe, and I'm so glad I did. Thanks a million!
Very good & very easy. Will make it again. Thanks for sharin'
Oh my yummy! Will definitely make again and again!
This was AWESOME. We made a 5lb bag of wings for two people and they were gone in 30 minutes! I followed the recipe just as it was except i used left over Reisling for the white wine. I did add a few oz. more because i thought my tomoatoe part came out too pasty. We also use Habenero sauce. That wasn't bad. I DISLIKE spicy and he LOVES it and found it was tolerable. Loved it on the grill. This is a recipe for "special" friends and would have to make another 5lbs for two more people.
Can't wait to try these.....
