Steamboats have been around since 1787 when John Fitch made his maiden voyage up the Delaware. When people think of them they think of the Belle of Louisville, Delta Queen and the Great Steamboat race every year at Derby time. Everyone is excited to see who is going to win those Golden Antlers. Kids and adults alike love the sound of the whistles and watching the turning of the great paddles on the back. It makes one wonder what James Howard saw through the lens of his camera at his tender young age when he began to photograph Steamboats in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Did he picture the steam billowing up through the big stacks? Did he see the soot on the bow and landing, even at times the clothing? James 'Captain Jim' Howard experienced all of this, and more...and his wonderful photography shows it all.

Wisconsin chasing bigger goal
LOS ANGELES -- They joke a lot. The Wisconsin Badgers, who defeated the North Carolina Tar Heels 79-72 Thursday in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament, have become the blue-collar team that has, lately, cracked up the Internet.
They can't walk down the street without making us chuckle.
Earlier this week, Frank Kaminsky interviewed Will Ferrell, the creator of the "Frank the Tank" nickname. Nigel Hayes got a shout-out from Kobe Bryant, whose locker he is occupying this week at the Staples Center. Then Hayes made a comment about a woman's appearance -- he thought she was attractive -- at a news conference without realizing the entire room heard him.
Everybody laugh at and with the Wisconsin Badgers, right?
Until North Carolina had its foot on Wisconsin's neck Thursday night and threatened to ruin the Badgers' pursuit of a second consecutive trip to the Final Four, of course. There were no laughs then. No tweetable hijinks and "Don't you just love Wisconsin?" moments -- only the reality that the NCAA would put the favored Badgers on the first plane back to Madison, Wisconsin, if they couldn't find their way.
Recruit and return: North Carolina Tar Heels
To return to the NCAA tournament, a team needs contributions from both returning players and incoming recruits. Here's a look at North Carolina and its chances of dancing again in 2016.

Five observations: Wisconsin beats North Carolina
LOS ANGELES -- The Wisconsin Badgers advanced to the Elite Eight with a 79-72 win over the North Carolina Tar Heels in a Sweet 16 game Thursday at Staples Center.
Sam Dekker starts fast: Sam Dekker, Frank Kaminsky and Nigel Hayes combined to score 109 points and grab 47 rebounds in their team's first two NCAA tournament games. But in the first half Thursday, Hayes and Kaminsky went 3-for-13 from the field and registered nine points combined. Enter Dekker. The NBA prospect kept the Badgers alive before halftime by scoring 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting before the break. He was the only Wisconsin player who seemed undaunted by North Carolina's length and athleticism in the first half.
Brice Johnson sets the tone: When asked about Kennedy Meeks' injury on Wednesday, Roy Williams said he needed multiple players to step up if Meeks couldn't go. Well, Meeks started the game, but the Tar Heels still needed someone to give them some early energy and production against the Badgers. Johnson did that. He kicked off the game with two monster dunks that drew big cheers from the North Carolina fans at Staples Center. By halftime, he was leading North Carolina with eight points (4-for-6) and a block.
Kaminsky's early struggles: Kaminsky, who finished with 19 points, was just 2-for-7 from the field in the first half. He struggled against North Carolina's length inside. Whenever he touched the ball, UNC had him well covered. Meeks, Joel James and even Justin Jackson were effective in their attempts to shadow the likely Wooden Award winner. He started the second half by making his first two shots, but the Tar Heels continued to harass him. They were clearly going to force another Wisconsin player to beat them.
The ACC helped: From mid-January to mid-March, North Carolina failed to register a signature win. The Tar Heels still entered the NCAA tournament with some momentum based on their finish in the ACC tournament. But their regular season was a roller-coaster ride. Still, the ACC's gantlet put the Tar Heels through a variety of tests that helped them prepare for a matchup against the Big Ten's best team. There is a mental element to this game, especially when you're the underdog. North Carolina wasn't intimidated by the moment, and that was vital as the Heels built up a lead against the Badgers in the second half.
But in the end Wisconsin was too strong. The Badgers are resilient. Dekker played like a top-20 pick. Guys such as Zak Showalter made key plays. Wisconsin isn't a team. It's a program. It came together in a difficult stretch, relied on its experience and overcame a good North Carolina team that should be proud of its effort.
Kennedy Meeks starts vs. Badgers
LOS ANGELES -- Tar Heels forward Kennedy Meeks, who has been nursing a sprained knee, started in a Sweet 16 matchup with Wisconsin on Thursday.
Meeks was listed as questionable after suffering the injury in his team's win over the Arkansas Razorbacks in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
He's averaging 11.6 points and 7.4 rebounds per game.
Wisconsin's Traevon Jackson, who suffered a fractured foot in early January, played for the first time in more than two months after entering Thursday's game five minutes into the first half.

Dean Smith remembers players in will
Dean Smith got a chance to thank his players one last time.
The former North Carolina coach, who died last month at 83, directed his trust in his will to give $200 to every letter winner who played for him during his 36 seasons as head coach at the school.
"We never expected anything like this," said Jeb Barlow, who lettered at UNC from 1980-1982. "But it doesn't surprise me that this was done."
The trustee of Smith's trust, Tim Breedlove, told ESPN.com that the $200 checks were sent out on Monday to about 180 letter winners.
"This was the kind of man that he was," Breedlove said. "It's one more example of his thoughtfulness."
The letter addressed to Dante Calabria, who played on Smith's 1993 national title team, was circulated on social media Thursday. Smith's message was to "enjoy a dinner out compliments of Coach Dean Smith."
Said Serge Zwikker, who played for Smith from 1993-1997: "My wife opened the letter and handed it to me. At first I didn't know what it was, but when it hit me, it put a tear in my eye. Even after he passed, he was still all about his players."
Buzz Peterson, a roommate of Michael Jordan's when they played for Smith at UNC, also was awed by the gesture.
"I saw the check, and was like, 'What?'" Peterson said. "Then I started reading the letter, and I said, 'Wait now, you've got to be kidding me. This is unbelievable that he would do this for us.'"
Zwikker said that part of him doesn't like the fact that news about Smith's gesture has gone public.
"It's just not the way he would have wanted it," Zwikker said. "I know he would have preferred to keep it quiet."
Zwikker said the $200 check is unlike any other money he has received.
"I don't think I can cash this," he said. "If anything, I will donate it to a good cause."
Guards who matter in March
Seth Greenberg explains why the North Carolina Tar Heels' Marcus Paige and Notre Dame Fighting Irish's Jerian Grant will be crucial to their team's success in the NCAA tournament.
Tipoff Live recap: Sweet 16 edition
The NCAA tournament has arrived at the Sweet 16. Our reporters and analysts gathered to break down the big matchups in all four regions.
Marcus Paige channeling powers of UConn?
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- North Carolina Tar Heels guard Nate Britt, ever the jokester in the ear of Marcus Paige, picked up on the similarities before anyone else.
"He was just calling me Kemba Walker, Shabazz [Napier] as a joke," Paige said, laughing at the references to key Connecticut Huskies who stepped up at tournament time. "But he likes to do that anyway. He gets on my nerves, but that's my guy."
Maybe Britt was inspired by head coach Roy Williams, who referenced the 2011 Huskies in a postgame celebration during the Heels' ACC tournament run; both Walker and Napier epitomized how elite-level point guards can impose their will during the NCAA tournament. Or maybe Britt simply was projecting what he saw from how Napier led the Huskies to the title last season. Either way, Britt has repeated the name-calling.
It might only become more frequent if Paige can help North Carolina get past Wisconsin on Thursday and advance to the NCAA tournament's Elite Eight.
Paige has been a different player since the postseason began. He's averaging 17.0 points and 5.0 assists, which is up from 13.5 and 4.4 during the regular season. His shooting percentage jumped from 40.6 percent in the regular season to 45.3 percent -- all while playing 37 minutes per game, which is nearly five more minutes than he played in the regular season.
"I'm healthy, that's the biggest part," said Paige, who has improved his 3-point shooting percentage from 38.5 to 41.4. "I'm a little more aggressive than I have been attacking the basket."
And the Huskies similarities? Walker elevated a team that finished ninth in the Big East and parlayed five straight wins to capture the league tournament crown into six straight wins for the national title as a 3-seed. Walker averaged 24.5 points and 5.0 assists in the 2011 NCAA tournament.
Napier's run was even more unlikely, leading the Huskies as a 7-seed to the national championship. Napier averaged 18.7 points and 3.8 assists last postseason.
"When you get to tournament play, I think the [value of] guard play is more exaggerated because they control the basketball so much," Williams said. "And if you have one guy …"
When Williams was an assistant at Carolina in 1984, Steve Alford was that guy for Indiana. Williams believed the Heels were the best team in the country that season and would have beaten any team in a best-of-seven series. But in the one-game urgency of the NCAA tournament, a guard who can control the game often can make the difference.
Paige can be that guy for Carolina.
"I hope so, but I think he's done that somewhat for three years," Williams said. "We've got to get some other guys to step up. Shabazz was phenomenal last year, but [Ryan] Boatright and those other guys really, really played well also."
The biggest difference between Paige and the former UConn guards is they both assumed more ownership of their respective championship teams. (Not to mention got to the free throw line more.) During the regular season especially, Paige could at times be too unselfish.
With the chance to take the lead in regulation of a tie game at Louisville, Paige deferred to J.P. Tokoto taking the shot on their second-to-last possession. During the entire schedule of February games, Paige never led the team outright in shot attempts.
Looks like that has changed. Paige is Carolina's best player and looks like he's starting to understand that.
In the Heels' win over Virginia in the ACC tournament, his up-and-under move against Malcolm Brogdon, who was voted co-defensive player of the year by the league's coaches, helped stop the Cavs' momentum.
"When it gets intense and it's a one- or two-possession game," Paige said, "you're so focused on what's going on on the court and your sense of urgency is elevated to such a high level that you're not thinking 'Oh, this could win the game.' In the moment, you're kind of zoned out in a good way -- I guess zoned in is a better way to talk about it."
Had Paige consistently done that in the regular season, he might have lived up to the lofty preseason expectations. Instead, his performances remained low key during the regular season.
A lot of that was due to the plantar fasciitis in his left foot that plagued him for the better part of December through February. It wasn't until the second-to-last game of the regular season against Georgia Tech, Paige said, that his foot finally was pain free.
His play since then has reflected him being back to full health, but the healed foot is not the only reason he's elevated his play.
Asked about the factors in his improvement, Paige said, "I would say confidence, health and understanding I have to be a playmaker at this time of the year."
The Heels' postseason fortunes might rest on that understanding.
Game-time calls: Meeks, Jackson
LOS ANGELES -- The North Carolina Tar Heels and Wisconsin Badgers both have question marks because of injuries heading into Thursday's Sweet 16 matchup in the NCAA West Regional.
UNC forward Kennedy Meeks, who sprained his left knee against Arkansas, had limited contact during an early closed practice and then didn't do much during the open practice Wednesday. Coach Roy Williams said the 6-foot-9, 270-pound Meeks -- who has a nearly 30- pound advantage on Wisconsin 7-footer Frank Kaminsky -- would be a game-time decision if there weren't any complications overnight.
"I'm doing pretty well," said Meeks, who is averaging 11.6 points and 7.4 rebounds per game. "I'm jumping a little bit more and trying to do all the right things so I can take care of my knee."
If Meeks can't go, the Tar Heels (26-11) may go small, like they did after Meeks went out against the Razorbacks.
"I don't want to just say when nobody can guard Frank, let's just play, small because that takes away part of our game as our inside scoring," Williams said. "So it is a balance there that you have to have."
The Badgers (33-3) have a question mark on their own roster, with guard Traevon Jackson's status up in the air.
West Regional: Key player for North Carolina Tar Heels
LOS ANGELES -- Kennedy Meeks, who is dealing with a knee injury, remains questionable for Thursday's NCAA tournament matchup between the North Carolina Tar Heels and the Wisconsin Badgers at the Staples Center.
Meeks (11.6 PPG, 7.4 RPG) is important to this team and Thursday's game. But there is no guarantee that he'll be available.
"We don't know anything about Kennedy," Roy Williams said on Wednesday during the pregame news conferences at the Staples Center. "This morning he did some contact on a limited basis for the first time. You saw him out there, if you chose to go out there, he didn't do much, but our whole team didn't go because we had already practiced. But the big thing now is we'll have to wait to see if there's any more swelling or any pain tonight for what little he did this morning, and probably it won't be -- well, if there is swelling or pain tonight, we won't play him. If there's not, then we'll probably make the decision during warm-ups tomorrow."
Clearly, Marcus Paige will carry a heavier load, on both sides of the floor, if the talented big man can't go. But J.P. Tokoto might be the most important player on the floor.
Yes, Tokoto has been inconsistent all season. But he's scored more than 10 points 15 times this season and the Tar Heels have an 11-4 record in those games. He's coming off a stellar effort in North Carolina's 87-78 win over Arkansas in the second round (13 points, five rebounds, eight assists and two steals).
"North Carolina's got to come to play," Williams said. "Marcus is a huge part of that, but we need Brice [Johnson] to play. First question, we need J.P. to play, we need all of them to play."
Wisconsin is a strong, balanced team. And the Badgers know plenty about Tokoto and his ability to affect this game.
Bo Ryan and Wisconsin finished second to Williams and North Carolina in the recruiting battle for Tokoto's services. The Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, native pointed to North Carolina's style of play as an important element in his decisions.
Wisconsin's Sam Dekker and Bronson Koenig were Tokoto's teammates on the AAU circuit.
"Well, J.P.'s a good friend of mine," Dekker said on Wednesday. "I played AAU with him for four years, so we built a pretty good relationship. And Bronson Koenig, our point guard, is also on that team. So we all know each other really well and our families get along great. Can't tell you the amount of time I've spent with them. So it's exciting to go up against him and be on the same court as him again. Obviously, one of the best athletes I've ever played with and still ever watch. The stuff he does is pretty ridiculous. So just excited to get out there with him. We've talked a little bit this week. We're excited to play, and I'm sure we'll be talking a little bit on the court and just some good banter. But, yeah, it's going to be fun to be out there with him again, but it will be different because we're opposing sides."
Tokoto's side will need his best on Thursday.
Images: You won't be able to miss these North Carolina Sweet 16 sneakers
The North Carolina Tar Heels face quite a challenge in their Thursday matchup with the top-seeded Wisconsin Badgers in the NCAA tournament. But if the Tar Heels do happen to pull off their 12th straight Sweet 16 win, they will certainly do so in style.
That's because Jordan Brand -- we're just going to assume you don't need a reminder of the connection there -- is fitting Carolina with a specialized version of the Air Jordan XX9s for its next game.
And if you plan on watching Thursday's game on television, the UNC sneakers will be hard to miss.
@Jumpman23 thanks for the new kicks. #GoHeels #MarchMadness pic.twitter.com/Mgy7AQf9UU

I'm starting to suspect that Prince Harry is serious about his friend Cressida Bonas: he just took her on a ski vacation to Switzerland.
Nameless Insider told E! Online that this is just a protracted fling, but I wonder; they've been seeing each other since last summer. On the other hand, his Las Vegas caper last fall doesn't signal an enduring relationship.
Slim blond Cressida — isn't that a classic Sloane Ranger name? — has a classier look than Harry's last flame, South African Chelsy Davy. Cressida's mum Lady Mary-Gaye Curzon, a prominent 1960s party animal in London, is an heiress. Cressida's studying contemporary dance.
Bottom line: Who really believes Harry is ready to settle down?
She's 24. He's 28.

Ok I got the GCFI replaced and working this time. I went to the hardware store and got another GCFI and put it in. It still did not work, so I called Kermit and he walked me through testing to see if it was the GCFI and how to wire it properly. I had the hot wires and the load wires backward. I had the white on the silver screws and the black on the bass crews which is correct but with the two wires backward it would not work.
Thank you for all your help on this.
This afternoon I will look into the Auto Drain on the gray tank and see how hard it will be to replace the gear. It is a nice 65 degrees outside today, so a good day to take it apart. When I get the part it will probly be freezing. If I screw this up, I can always order a new one from Carol at the factory.

AT&T Wireless Data Still Growing At 1000% 137
from the big-and-bigger dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
"30 times over the past three years."
That would make it obviously 1000% per year.
Your sig makes your post even more awesome!
Seven of each.
I hope that clarifies things.
Can I get that in football fields or Libraries of Congress?
Sure. If you took 1000% of football fields and covered them with 1000% of the books from the Library of Congress you would find the single book that had the secret formula on how AT&T calculated their increased data growth rate. Your mission is to find that book so you can decode the ISBN number to be used as an RSA key to decrypt the 11 herbs and spices of the original Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe so it could be posted without payment on Cooks Source.
Dropped calls have gone virtually to ZERO per month for me on AT&T.
There must be some really strong cellular signals and efficient antennae in Fantasyland.
Perhaps AT&T made dramatic improvements in Network Reliability and speed in my area.
Yes, I think I read somewhere they were planning on service improvements there, in Fantasyland, where iPhone batteries never lose their ability to hold a charge and nobody's ever seen the bottom of the bottomless cup, and everyone at the coffee shop is a published author.
...decrypt the 11 herbs and spices of the original Kentucky Fried Chicken recipe...

Carnival Victory - Southern Caribbean Cruise
We started by flying from Mobile, Al to Charlotte, N.C. and then on to San Juan. We did not book a hotel the say before because the timetable fit perfect for us.
Arriving in San Juan was pleasant and we had transfers to the cruise ship. We spent maybe twenty to thirty minutes at the airport then on to the cruise ship. Once at the dock the check in was very very impressive. We were checked in had our guest cards and were headed for the room after about a twenty minute check in (fastest I have ever had). Once in the cabin (an extended balcony dead center of the aft) we unpacked and were on our way to the Lido Deck to see what was on the buffet. Everything was very tasty looking. We just
ate two Deli type sandwiches and decided to walk around San Juan and look.
Back on board we went to our first sit down meal in the Pacific Dining Room.
We had a waiter by the name of Vigor. He was fantastic and very friendly and always smiling. He would always ask our More our day had been. After supper we walked around the ship trying to find our way around.
Tuesday was a Sea Day
All in All this is the best cruise that me and my wife have ever taken. The excursions were great ( just like they said on Cruise Critic) the ship was Great the weather could not have been any better. So Thanks Cruise Critic readers and Thanks to Cosol Tours.... We are really looking forward to returning again.

- Top Ten placement in "Round Church Windows" Challenge (October 12, 2009) launched by "Christian Churches, Statues and Crosses" Group – MANY THANKS TO THE MEMBERS WHO VOTED MY IMAGE
- Featured in "Historic Landmarks of Europe" Group – February 19, 2009
>>> Camera Olympus compact SP 700 <<<
According to the legend, the church was commissioned by the Lombard Queen of Italy, Theodolinda. She had made a vow to build a church entitled to St. John, and when riding along the Lambro River, she was halted by a dove who told her Modo, Latin for "here", to which she replied Etiam ("yes") . Monza itself was initially known as Modoetia.
In 595, she had a oraculum (Queen's chapel) built on the Greek Cross plan; of this chapel only the walls exist today. The Queen was buried here, in what is now the central left aisle. On the remains of the oraculum, a new church was erected in the 13th century. The basilica was again rebuilt, starting from 1300, in a Latin Cross plan with octagonal tiburium. In the late century, the side chapels were added and, as designed by Matteo da Campione, the Pisan-Gothic style façade in white and green marble was begun.
The façade has several mullioned windows with, in the centre, a large rose window framed by a motif inspired to Roman antique ceilings, decorated by rosettes, masks and star motifs.

Monthly bills can add up quickly and put a strain on a family's finances. Thankfully, you can bundle your internet services to low your bills. Below are seven surprisingly effective ways how.
1. Bundling with Mobile Phone Services
Many people these days do not use desktop or laptop computers. They simply use their smart phones to browse the internet. If this is the case for you, you should obtain internet services through your mobile carrier.
2. Bundling with Home Phone Services
However, many people still prefer to use laptop and desktop computers. For one, they are great for doing work. If you spend a lot of time in your home office, one great choice is to bundle your home phone and internet services together from a company like Frontier Internet.
3. Bundling with Cable TV
If you receive your television through a cable provider, you more than likely can also receive high speed internet through the same cables. These bills can be bundled together to create significant savings.
4. Bundling with Satellite TV
Similarly, many households also receive their internet connections through their satellite TV dishes. Transmitting information from space has the ability to provide very quick download and upload speeds.
5. Bundling with TV Streaming Services
These days, people's options for watching TV aren't limited to local channels, cable or satellite. Streaming services are now available from companies like Hulu that allow customers to watch different shows and movies whenever they want. These services too can be bundled with internet.
6. Triple Play Bundling
Many companies also offer something known as triple play bundling that bundles phone, internet and TV services into one bill. If you would save money over paying these bills individually, it's a great choice.
7. Creating Your Own Bundle
Lastly, many companies allow you to create your own bundle. For example, you may want fast download speeds, local sports games and texting with your phone, TV and internet services. Alternatively, you may not need movie channels, fast upload speeds or long-distance phone services. Creating your own bundle allows you to save by choosing only what you need.

The acute toxicity of isoproterenol hydrochloride in animals is much less than that of epinephrine. Excessive doses in animals or man can cause a striking drop in blood pressure, and repeated large doses in animals may result in cardiac enlargement and focal myocarditis.
In case of accidental overdosage as evidenced mainly by tachycardia or other arrhythmias, palpitations, angina, hypotension, or hypertension, reduce rate of administration or discontinue isoproterenol hydrochloride injection until patient's condition stabilizes. Blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and ECG should be monitored.
It is not known whether isoproterenol hydrochloride is dialyzable.
The oral LD50 of isoproterenol hydrochloride in mice is 3,850 mg/kg ± 1,190 mg/kg of pure drug in solution.
Use of isoproterenol hydrochloride injection is contraindicated in patients with tachyarrhythmias; tachycardia or heart block caused by digitalis intoxication; ventricular arrhythmias which require inotropic therapy; and angina pectoris.

Winter Transplanting???
The unusually warm weather around here lately makes me wonder if I could move some of my trees now. I never would have previously considered this in January but I have rarely had such warm weather in January either (69 degrees last saturday). What do y'all think?
I've been transplanting small shrubs and trees from out of the woods,into my yard during this mild weather,while the ground remains unfrozen and the humidity high.I just make sure the roots of the transplants are protected from excessive freeze-thaw cycles and drying,during the winter, by mulching them with leaf litter after the move.This weather's been great for outdoor work but I'm begining to wonder whether I should be looking for plants from a more southern source in anticipation of climate change.
Thanks Knotty and NYWoodsman.
I too have been wondering if some more heat-tolerant plants will be in order. Maybe some plants that are more common in Maryland or Northern Virginia will be in order soon here in NY. I wonder weather my "winter-sown" seeds will be sufficiently cold stratified to germinate come spring?
I have transplanted several species of trees and shrubs during warm winter weather with great success. Moving woody plants during winter allows many species to be moved bare-root without as much worry about drying out as during summer. The species I've moved during winter include serviceberry (amelanchier spp.), Red Cedar (Juniperus virgniana), Winterberry Holly (Ilex veticillata), Eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), and a couple of viburnum species. The only difficulties I've had are with Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia) which are hard to move at any season, but no more so in winter. I have also divided and transplanted many types of perennials and wildflowers while dormant. I think as long as you can dig in the ground it is safe to move plants. I always mulch heavily to try and protect the plants from too many freeze/thaw cycles after I have transplanted them. With evergreens I try to put a fence of lots of leaves around the plants to protect them from dessicating winds. All of the plants I am talking about have been pretty small, so this advice might not apply to larger plants.

Does Cumaru blend with Natural Cherry Cabinetry?
I am building a new home and love the rich look of Cumaru hardwood flooring. BUT...I also want to coordinate it with natural cherry kitchen cabinetry. I'm in a dilemma with the color coordination. Does it blend or am I better off going with a different hardwood? Over time the cherry will acquire more richness & depth. One other option I'm considering for flooring is a Select red birch (softer wood) but would prefer the hardiness of the Cumaru. Any opinions appreciated.
I'm looking at Cumaru too. Note that the Cumaru will change too. I've seen both newer (grainy-er) and older (more uniform) samples. From the braziliandirect rep: "I will tell you that after the first 3-6 months the grainig will become finer and less noticible -the samples you recieved from us are fresh cut and have not yet oxidized."
I would definitely get samples of older versions of each element and compare them to see if you like the combination. A retailer might have an older cherry sample. There's also color variation amongst the floorboards - I was surprised that my two sample pieces were different colors.
I have been trying to decide on hardwood flooring with medium tone cherry cabinets for our remodel. I love the variation of cumaru,but a sample I bought online was more uniform and I really didn't care for it. Now I am looking at lumber liquidators. Their sample in the store is much different than the photos of actual installs. I am confused!
Any suggestions?

Larkin backs new signings to push Barrow Raiders on
Last updated at 10:25, Saturday, 19 January 2013
CENTRE Chris Larkin is confident the new blood in the Barrow Raiders squad can propel them upwards in the Championship.
Larkin is now a seasoned campaigner at Craven Park, having made 75 appearances and scored 34 tries since making his debut in 2007.
In his six years at the club, the 26-year-old former Roose Pioneers amateur has seen numerous players come and go from the Raiders set-up, from former Super League aces to locals trying their luck in the professional game.
While there has been no return to the formula of Barrow's last stint in the Championship, between 2009 and 2011, when ex-chairman Des Johnston brought in a series of big names to varying degrees of success, there have been a number of fresh faces signed on by coach Darren Holt.
Among them are Super League experienced Dean McGilvray and Kurt Haggerty, and Larkin believes they and the other new boys can blend in with the local core at Craven Park to great effect.
"There was a time when we had a lot of big names who people had heard of from their time playing Super League or NRL – Ned Catic, or people like that," he said.
"Now we are more of a locally-based team, with several key players, in my eyes, who have come in from away.
"We've brought in some good names – Dean McGilvray has come in. I played against him two seasons ago and at the time he was really firing every time I watched him for Leigh and everyone was buzzing off how he was playing.
"I think he will be a key part.
"Then there's obviously Kurt Haggerty. He played Super League last year, 16 games last season, so there are definitely players there who are going to come in, give us options and bring a lot to the team.
"As far as comparing the squad to other seasons, I would say we will be up there and anyone who comes to Craven Park will know they are in a game – no-one will want to come to Craven Park.
"But there are going to be tough games at teams like Featherstone and the like as well."
While Larkin is confident his new team-mates will add that little bit extra to the Barrow squad, he is also expecting big things from several of the players retained from last season.
He particularly picked out Dan Toal and Andrew Dawson – both having come up from the amateur game to great success last season and captain Liam Harrison, who was a standout player in his first campaign as both skipper and a second-row forward.
Larkin added: "The new lads will definitely bring something to the squad, but I also think people like Dan Toal and Andrew Dawson, who came in last year and had their first professional seasons, have learnt a lot from last year and are going to give even more this year.
"Liam Harrison moved to the second row and had his first season there week in, week out. I think he learnt a lot last year, so he will probably have more to give as well."

- Surface active properties
Mixture of fatty acids obtained from coconut, palm kernel, palm, jatropha, karanja, Sterculia foetida, and high oleic sunflower oils were used for the preparation of sodium N-acyl isoleucines (NaNAIle) via Schotten–Baumann reaction except castor oil which was prepared in thermal condensation in good yields. The products were characterized by chromatographic and spectral techniques. Surface active properties such as surface tension, wetting, foaming characteristics, emulsion stability, calcium tolerance, and micellization properties were evaluated for all the synthesized products. The results showed that all the products exhibited superior surface active properties like critical micelle concentration (CMC) and emulsion stability when compared to the commercial surfactant, sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS). The NaNAIle also exhibited promising cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines except 3 and 5. 5, 6, and 8 showed antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. 1, 2, 7, and 8 exhibited good antioxidant properties.

As the translation-based news service Worldcrunch approaches the one-year anniversary of its launch, it's also tweaking its business approach in three key ways that co-founders Jeff Israely and Irène Toporkoff hope will help it thrive.
Worldcrunch's central goal is to find news that wouldn't otherwise appear in English-speaking news sources at a time when U.S. news organizations have slashed their budgets for international coverage. You may recognize Israely, a former Time correspondent, from his regular column for Nieman Lab about the process of launching a news startup. A year in, he's getting a better sense of what it takes to keep one going.
First, Worldcrunch has plans to increase its output. The most straightforward way to do this, as many news organizations have found, is to aggregate from other sources. But Worldcrunch will do so with a twist: Call it translaggregating — translating what you aggregate.
"That's going to allow us to really be more dynamic, more reactive, and expand the kind of stories we can produce, and how we can produce them, and when we can produce them," Israely told me from Paris, where Worldcrunch is based.
One way the site aims to bump up the volume of aggregated material is through a crowdsourced initiative it's calling "Crunch It." Worldcrunch will call on volunteers to nominate articles for translation, "English-ize" them, and vote for the best finished pieces. But Israely said the Worldcrunch team is still figuring out exactly how process will work. He calls the initative "in the neighborhood of crowdsourcing," but he also wants to put certain quality safeguards in place. Making sure a story is right for Worldcrunch isn't simply about impeccable multilingual skills — it has to be a story that doesn't already appear in English.
"They think that content is self-generating, and you just need the tools to filter it, to aggregate it, to monetize it. We don't agree with that."
"In addition, the original story itself has to stand up," Israely said. "It has to be a well written story. It has to be a story that has enough background material that allows it to travel. If Le Monde is writing a story about French schools, and if the story has too many references to things that only French people know, we'd have to transform the story and put in all kinds of context — our partners allow us to adapt the story and add in context when necessary — but if the whole process becomes rewriting and adding in context, it's probably not a good story for us."
The second key change Worldcrunch is making: it's putting up "some kind of metered model" paywall "before summer."
But even as the paywall goes up, Worldcrunch is shifting away from the idea that its website will be the sole hub for its readers. Arguably the most important development to the Worldcrunch business model is that it's forging partnerships with English-language publications that will pay for translated content. Worldcrunch is already selling content to the Toronto Star, and is in talks with a U.S. publication about a similar deal.
Here's how it works: A non-English news organization gives Worldcrunch permission to translate its content. Worldcrunch then posts the translated content to its website, and offers to sell it to English-language news organizations. Those organizations pay Worldcrunch an undisclosed amount, and Worldcrunch gives the original content producer a 40 percent cut.
Israely and Toporkoff see this distribution model as a win-win-win: The original publication gets a much wider audience for its stories (plus some extra revenue); English-language publications provide valuable international news to their readers; Worldcrunch can pay its bills and keep the cycle going.
With the slogan "all news is global," the site operates with three editors and about a dozen freelance translators. Working with media partners across Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America, Worldcrunch translates about 30 articles per week into English from German, Turkish, French, Italian, Russian, Portuguese, Chinese, Arabic, and Spanish. Worldcrunch aims to do what even the old network of foreign bureaus had trouble doing: providing original, domestically produced coverage for an international audience.
Some examples that stand out for Israely and Torpokoff include diverse viewpoints about the economic situation in Turkey, coverage of tensions in the Middle East, an interview with maligned Italian former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi about his plans to resign, Russian election coverage by and for Russians, and a French-authored article about why French people reacted differently to the Dominique Strauss-Kahn scandal than residents of other countries. (Israely also points out the benefit of getting original French perspective about more lighthearted topics like perfume and food.)
Earlier this month, German-language newspaper Die Welt published a column about a controversial poem penned by Nobel Prize winner and former Nazi Günter Grass (the poem was published in another German newspaper, Süddeutsche Zeitung), and Worldcrunch translated it.
While you could have read about the scandal in The New York Times, that story — published three days after the Worldcrunch piece — didn't provide the same direct cultural perspective (the Times coverage has a joint byline from Israel- and Berlin-based correspondents). The Times reports that Grass' views "are relatively common among European intellectuals," though "strung together" in a way that incited outrage. But Henryk Broder's column for Die Welt actually articulates those views in the context of the Grass imbroglio.
"The fact that [Grass] is accused of being anti-semitic and here you have the German press — this German writer in the German press — saying he is anti-semitic, and it's not normal — I think that makes it interesting," Toporkoff said. "Within Germany, there is debate. We have chosen to publish something that we found very interesting that says a lot about what's happening in Germany, but also what happened in general."
Then there is the "meta-example" that Israely gives of an article — from China's Economic Observer — highlighting the global scarcity of press freedom.
"This was the Beijing paper reporting on this almost over-the-top sort of rabid, gossipy Hong Kong press right before the elections there," Israely said. "Sort of explaining to Chinese readers how this is what a free press looks like with all its warts, and the beauty of being truly free and going after a candidate and sticking cameras into his backyard."
Along those same lines, working with a (relatively) independent newspaper out of China can be unpredictable. Though there are certain boundaries he says The Economic Observer won't cross (they won't write about Chinese artist and dissident Ai Weiwei, for instance), he has been surprised by how provocative, lively, and sometimes irreverent the paper can be.
"It's a moving target, because it's changing before our eyes," Israely said. "The Economic Observer in Beijing actually does get shut down now and again. The site does get shut down, and our contact there says they're in the penalty box essentially."
Israely says that establishing partnerships in the first place is the hardest part. His job is to convince them of a principle that he says was best summed up in a recent TechCrunch article: Whoever creates the best content at the lowest cost possible will create the most value over time.
"It's a very simple formula, but I think a lot of energy has been spent over the past few years where people — particularly on the tech side, thinking about the news business — they think that content isn't an issue," Israely said. "They think that there's no shortage of content. They think that content is self-generating, and you just need the tools to filter it, to aggregate it, to monetize it. We don't agree with that. We don't think that news content just produces itself. It has to be produced and I don't care about the labels — whether it's journalists producing it, or in our case translators. But there needs to be a layer of journalism, or layers of journalism, to make it quality content."

|Millennials say keeping up with the news is important to them — but good luck getting them to pay for it
The new report from the Media Insight Project looks at millennials' habits and attitudes toward news consumption: "I really wouldn't pay for any type of news because as a citizen it's my right to know the news."
|The next stage in the battle for our attention: Our wrists
News companies have moved from print dollars to digital dimes to mobile pennies. Now, with the highly anticipated launch of the Apple Watch, the screens are getting even smaller. How are smart publishers thinking about the right way to serve users and maintain their attention on smartwatches?
|A wave of distributed content is coming — will publishers sink or swim?
Instead of just publishing to their own websites, news organizations are being asked to publish directly to platforms they don't control. Is the hunt for readers enough to justify losing some independence?
