Is this really true about hardwood flooring? Sheen or no sheen?
We will be moving to our retirement home in a few months and want to install engineered hardwood flooring in our great room, foyer and dining room...all open to each other. We have had engineered flooring for 14 years and we love it. My question is one of the hardwood stores told us that a floor without a shine cleans a lot better than a hardwood floor with a sheen/glossy look? Is this true? Is the sheen only a matter of preference?
We have made a decision that we want a harder wood and 5" boards. Everything I see about Brazilian Cherry I just love, but I wonder if I would get tired of the "redness" that this wood seems to have. Any thoughts? Pictures?
Thanks, Dee
Sheen will not matter with how they clean normally, but will matter with how quickly they look dirty. Matte finish is more forgiving. High shine is being sold less and less as it shows every in-perfection or abrasion to the finish. Brazillian cherry is a product that most people love and do not get tired of the red. Brazilian cherry does change color quickly with age and sunlight. Beautiful wood.
Does Brazilian Cherry come in a matte finish? Is one brand better than another with engineered flooring?
I can not agree with "Echoflooring" more on all his comments besides the part about popularity of the higher sheen level floorings. It seems more acceptable to me now than a few years ago. I post along a link of Brazilian Cherry engineered flooring.
Here is a link that might be useful: Teka Twin Brazilian Cherry IdealLoc
The shinier (and darker) a floor is, the more it acts as a mirror to show the dust and dirt from everyday living. THe most practical floor in the terms of needing less maintainence is a medium toned floor with a significant grain pattern in a satin or matte finish--thus the popularity of oak flooring. THe floor that will be the highest maintainence will be a dark floor with little graining pattern in a gloss finish---which describes 90% of all Brazillian Cherry floors that are available on the market. If you have daily maid service, you may not care about the maintainence issues, but if you plan to maintain your home yourself, then I'd personally avoid anything that would increase the labor in a home deemed a "retirement home".
... The most practical floor in the terms of needing less maintenance is a medium toned floor with a significant grain pattern in a satin or matte finish--thus the popularity of oak flooring. ....
I'm the one in a panic over which finish for my hardwoods (a thread from yesterday). Then I read the above in this thread and feel a little better. It's discussions like this that made me not want a glossy finish to start with, but then I talked with my builder's wife who said that they prefer to use semi-gloss for its durability.
Anyway, 2 coats of satin are already done (on white oak). Final coat will come after painters finish up in the house. Not having ANY experience at all with hardwoods, I just don't know what to expect. Will I be happy with the way satin holds up (we're not too hard on floors--no kids but will have 2 cats)? Should I switch to semi-gloss for last coat (and/or ask for an extra). Aaaarrrgh. Just this one last agony, and we'll be about ready to move in.
Low-gloss is a more forgiving finish in terms of not showing wear. The shinier the finish, the sooner you will notice dulling or scratching in high-wear areas. I would personally not go glossier than satin, and I would actually prefer matte myself.
Satin on white oak should hold up pretty well. White oak, assuming it's not stained a dark color, is a very forgiving wood IMO. The grain pattern and medium color tones hide a multitude of sins.
I want the engineered hardwood that is not smooth and feels like real wood. Something my dogs can walk on without slipping. Where can I find it and what is it called? No one seems to have a clue. I have seen it on the floor in Walmart...Anyone?
The floor you have seen in Walmart may not be real wood at all. There are several vinyl or vinyl-type flooring products that imitate the look of real wood by using high resolution image technology. Laminate flooring uses such technology to produce the 'papers' that have the design printed on them. I have seen some flooring by Tarkett and other manufacturers at flooring conventions that I had to get on my knees to examine to determine whether they were the 'real' thing or not.
Are you referring to a hand-scraped texture? During my shopping for laminate, I've come across several that have a texture that's supposed to better imitate real wood and that's what they were all labeled. I've also read that some of the luxury vinyl floors have the same texture and appearance as real wood, but haven't seen one myself. I'm not sure what Wal-Mart is installing these days.
walmarts use a solid vinyl plank flooring that is quite nice but not wood at all.
Be aware that Brazillian Cherry while hard will change colors dramatically after you install them. As mentioned the dark color and satin finish will show off ever little speck of dirt or smudge. Finish choice is also a function of how much light that room will get. If your sitting in the LR and looking down the length of your house you will notice things a lot more.

Also, This issue was raised(http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6322)
So, my question is,
- has there been any progress in this regard?
- Is it possible to inject new bytecode into a class that is being loaded?

"I used this for my daughters second bday invite, only wish it didn't have a bow-tie on it, kinda masculine. Otherwise, they came out beautiful! Everyone was impressed."
"It only took a couple of minutes to personize these cards and they turned out very professional looking. I was suprised to recieve them so quickly, well ahead of the stated expected shipment date."
"Got the invitations for my daughter's birthday party. They are very elegant and sophisticated. Love the quality of the print and paper too!"
"This card is perfection. I've received so many compliments on it. The quality is excellent. I wish we could've done the recommended chalkboard background with lines and dots, but I needed to add additional text on the back. The pink background with the writing on the back was still lovely and worked out perfectly b/c my daughter's favorite color is pink."
"These came out amazing! The colors are vibrant and I love the way the upgraded pearl finish looks. People have been asking where I got them and are shocked when i tell them they aren't from some fancy boutique but rather ordered online from the comfort and convenience of my bed. I adore tiny prints. The customer service is also amazing. I made an error on my original batch and the rep told me to send them back and they gave me a full refund. I couldn't believe it! They really just want their customers to be happy and will do what needs to be done to make that happen. This is my second time using Tiny prints and I'm officially a loyal customer now!"

It's totally asinine to blow your chances of getting whatever you want with a business letter that turns people off instead of turning them on. The best place to learn to write is in school. If you're still there, pick your teachers' brains. If not, big deal. I learned to ride a motorcycle at 50 and fly balloons at 52. It's never too late to learn. Over 10,000 business letters come across my desk every year. They seem to fall into three categories: stultifying if not stupid, mundane (most of them), and first rate (rare). Here's the approach I've found that separates the winners from the losers--it starts before you write your letter: Know what you want: If you don't, write it down--in one sentence. "I want to get an interview within the next two weeks." Then, list the major points you want to get across--it'll keep you on course. If you're answering a letter, check the points that need answering and keep the letter in front of you while you write. This way you won't forget anything--that would cause another round of letters. For goodness' sake, answer promptly if you're going to answer at all. Don't sit on a letter--that invites the person on the other end to sit on whatever you want in return. Plunge right in: Call the reader by name--"Dear Mr. Chrisanthopoalos" not "Dear Sir, Madam, or Ms."--and be sure to spell it right. That'll get him (thus, you) off to a good start. (Usually, you can get the name just by phoning the company--or from a business directory in your nearest library.) Tell what your letter is about in the first paragraph using one or two sentences. Don't keep your readers guessing or they might discard your letter--even before they finish it. People who read business letters are as human as you and I. Reading a letter shouldn't be a chore, reward readers for the time they give you. Write so readers enjoy it: Write the entire letter from the reader's point of view. What's in it for the reader? Beat the reader to the draw by answering the questions and objections that might arise. Be positive. The reader will be more receptive to what you have to say. Be nice. Contrary to the cliche, genuinely nice guys most often finish first or very near it. I admit it's not easy when you've got a gripe. To be agreeable while disagreeing--that's an art. 1-3 Be natural. Write the way you talk. Imagine the reader sitting in front of you--what would you say? Business jargon too often is cold, stiff, and unnatural. Suppose I came up to you and said, "I acknowledge receipt of your letter and I thank you." You'd think, "Huh? You're putting me on." The acid test--read your letter out loud when you're done. You might get a shock--but you'll know for sure if it sounds natural. Don't be cute or flippant. The reader won't take you seriously. This doesn't mean you've got to be dull. You prefer your letter to knock 'em dead rather than bore 'em to death. In your communication: 1. Have a sense of humor. That's refreshing anywhere--a nice surprise in a business letter. 2. Be specific. If I tell you there's a new fuel that could save gasoline, you might not believe me. But suppose I tell you this: "Gasohol"--10% alcohol, 90% gasoline--works as well as straight gasoline. Since you can make alcohol from grain or corn stalks, wood or wood waste, coal--even garbage, it's worth some real follow-through. Now you've got something to sink your teeth into. 3. Lean heavier on nouns and verbs, lighter on adjectives. Use the active voice instead of the passive. Your writing will have more guts. Which of these is stronger? Active voice: "I kicked out my money manager." Or, passive voice: "My money manager was kicked out by me." (By the way, neither is true. My son, Malcolm Jr., manages Forbes' money--he's a brilliant moneyman.) Give it the best you've got: When you don't want something enough to make the effort, making an effort is a waste. To make the effort: Make your letter look appetizing -- or you'll strike out before you even get to bat. Type it on good-quality "8 1/2 x 11" stationery. Keep it neat. Use paragraphing that makes it easier to read. Keep your letter short -- to one page, if possible. Keep your paragraphs short. After all, who's going to benefit if your letter is quick and easy to read? You. For emphasis, underline important words. Make it perfect. No typos, no misspellings, no factual errors. If you're sloppy and let mistakes slip by, the person reading your letter will think you don't know better or don't care. Do you? Be crystal clear. You won't get what you're after if your reader doesn't get the message. Use good English. If you're still in school, take all the English and writing courses you can. The way you write and speak can really help--or hurt. If you're not in school (even if you are), get the little 71-page gem by Strunk & White, Elements of Style. It's in paperback. It's fun to read and loaded with tips on good English and good writing. Don't put on airs. Pretense invariably impresses only the pretender. Don't exaggerate. Even once. Your reader will suspect everything else you write. 1-4 Distinguish opinions from facts. Your opinions may be the best in the world. But opinions are not gospel. You owe it to your reader to identify opinions from facts. The dumbest people I know are those who "Know It All." Be honest. It'll get you further in the long run. If you're not, you won't rest easy. Edit ruthlessly. Somebody has said that words are a lot like inflated money--the more words that you use, the less each one is worth. Right on. Go through your entire letter just as many times as it takes. Search out and annihilate all unnecessary words, and sentences--even entire paragraphs. Sum it up and get out: The last paragraph should tell the reader exactly what you want the reader to do--or what you're going to do. Keep it short and sweet. "May I have an appointment? Next Monday, May 16, I'll call your secretary to see when is convenient for you." Close with something simple like, "Sincerely." And for heaven's sake sign legibly. The biggest ego trip I know is a completely illegible signature. Good luck; I trust you will get what you're after! MALCOLM FORBES 1-5 Elements of Style Stages of Effective Business Writing To produce good writing, you have to make the information fit the document and style that best communicates to readers. Technical and business writing consists of special documents such as memos, reports, manuals, and instructions. It usually requires several stages of text development: Brainstorm what the communication must include. Cluster your ideas into topics. Outline your topics, including subtopics. Write a rough draft. Revise by editing your work. Proofread carefully. Produce the final draft. Reader Sensitivity Be positive: Being reader-friendly means treating readers well. You can do this by putting readers in a positive spotlight as much as possible. Minimize use of negative language, especially toward your readers. Use positive language instead. Emphasize what readers can do instead of what they cannot do: Instead of writing: "You are not eligible for the discount," Write: "Members are eligible for this discount. To become a member, please complete and submit this form." State facts instead of assigning blame: Instead of writing, "You did not include a check in your recent mortgage payment mailing," Write: "We did not find a check in your recent mortgage payment mailing." Avoid leading with negative information: Instead of writing: "Your insurance is being cancelled effective January 31." Write: "Our company policy enables customers to qualify for automobile insurance as long as they have a safe driving record. Customers who have been cited at fault in two or more accidents or who have received two or more speeding violations within a six-month period are immediately placed on probationary status. Any additional accidents or speeding citations within the following six months will result in the cancellation of that customer's automobile insurance." 1-6 Be polite: Politeness means being courteous, civil, considerate, and respectful to the reader. Politeness is achieved by using proper language when addressing the reader. The appropriateness of the language used is really a factor of the relationship that exists between writer and reader. If the writer and reader do not have a personal relationship, then, in most situations, courtesy titles are used, such as Mr., Mrs., Ms., or Dr. These titles should be used if the communication is external--the writer is communicating with someone outside his/her organization. If the writer and reader are part of the same company or organization, then polite language depends upon their respective positions in the hierarchy. Superiors can more easily address subordinates on a first-name basis, ignoring courtesy titles. Subordinates should have a personal relationship with superiors before addressing them without using courtesy titles. Be fair: Successful companies are aware of the diversity of the world marketplace and the importance of being inclusive of groups that comprise their customers. From a purely capitalistic perspective, avoiding all types of discrimination in company language makes good business sense because it appeals to as many customers as possible. Therefore, it is good practice to avoid making assumptions about gender-specific social roles, to include information about race and age only when it is relevant to the purpose of the message, and to avoid stereotyping people with disabilities and diseases. Guide to Document Revision According to Mary E. Guffey, author of Business Communication: Process and Product, 2003, the revision process includes: 1. Revising to improve the content and sentence structure; 2. Proofreading to correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, format, and mechanics; and 3. Evaluating to analyze whether the message achieves its purpose. 1-7 Effective Communication Criteria - 7Cs Clarity: Apply the KISS formula—"Keep it Short and Simple." Choose short, familiar, conversational words. Construct effective sentences and paragraphs. Achieve appropriate readability--and listenability. Avoid unfamiliar words, abbreviations, slang or jargon. Completeness: Answer all questions asked. Give something extra, when desirable. Check for the five Ws and any other essentials. Conciseness: Shorten or omit wordy expressions. Include only relevant statements. Avoid unnecessary repetition, long sentences, relative pronouns, expletives, abstract subjects, and passive verbs. Correctness: Use the right level of language. Include only accurate facts, words, and figures. Maintain acceptable writing mechanics. Choose nondiscriminatory expressions. Apply all other pertinent C qualities. Concreteness: Use specific facts and figures. Put action in your verbs. Choose vivid, image-building words. Avoid relative words, indefinite phrases, and abstract words. Consideration: Focus on "you" instead of "I" and "we." Take an interest in the reader, show how the reader will benefit. Emphasize positive, pleasant facts. Apply integrity and ethics. Avoid negative words. Courtesy: Be sincerely tactful, thoughtful, and appreciative. Omit expressions that irritate, hurt, or belittle. Apologize good-naturedly. Use words and phrases that set a positive tone. Make the reply easy. Sentences and Lines per Paragraph A paragraph is a set of related sentences, indicated by indenting the first sentence or by leaving a blank line between paragraphs. In professional writing--where time is money-- writing needs to be as simple and straightforward as possible. Therefore, keep sentences short, and use the active voice. Paragraphs are most effective when they are crisp, clean, 1-8 short, and to the point. Most importantly, good business paragraphs develop one idea at a time. In business letters and memos, one-sentence paragraphs are not uncommon, especially in the first and last paragraphs. In reports, one- and two-sentence paragraphs make the report seem too choppy. The number of lines in a paragraph can be used to judge proper length. Paragraphs in letters and memos are easiest to read if they do not exceed 4-5 printed lines. In reports, paragraphs of 7-9 lines are acceptable. Longer paragraphs always appear difficult and uninviting to read. Check the words per sentence in your document for conciseness. If your average sentence length is too long, try these techniques to reduce the length: (1) Check for wordiness-- eliminate all unnecessary words. (2) Change passive sentences to active sentences. (3) Break long sentences into two or more sentences. (4) Use a vertical list for a series of items. Items 3 and 4 are especially useful if you have any sentences over 40 words. If your average sentence length is short, your writing may be choppy. Check to see how many sentences have fewer than 10 words and combine some of your short sentences into complex or compound sentences, as shown below. The company usually does not give semi-annual raises. However, all employees will receive a raise in June. Revision: Although the company usually does not give semi-annual raises, all employees will receive a raise in June. (complex sentence with a dependent clause) Revision: The company usually does not give semi-annual raises, but all employees will receive a raise this June. (compound sentence with two independent clauses joined by a conjunction) Readability Too many passive sentences should be avoided in business writing. An analysis of well- written business letters and memos reveals that about 80 percent of the verbs are active. In other words, only one out of five sentences should be passive. If your work contains more than 20 percent of passive sentences, please revise the sentences using active verbs. In general, the active voice is more effective in business communications than the passive voice for two reasons: (1) The sentences are usually more concise. (2) The writing is more interesting because the subject of the sentence is taking the action implied in the verb. Passive: The decision was made by the manager at the last moment. Active: The manager decided at the last moment. 1-9 Note how using the active voice makes the sentence shorter and how the subject (the manager) is doing the action (decided). With the passive voice, the sentence is longer and the subject (decision) is not doing the action (made). To make passive verbs active, ask yourself who or what did the action. Move that person or thing to the beginning of the sentence as the subject and change the verb as necessary. Also, if the subject of a passive sentence is a nominalization (sometimes called a camouflaged verb), consider using the verb form of the nominalization for the verb of your sentence. For example, in the passive sentence example, decision is a nominalization and is the subject of the sentence. In the active sentence, decided is the verb. Nominalizations are created from verbs by the following word endings: -ion, -ment, -ance, and -ence. Obviously, many business words are nominalizations, such as information, depreciation, amortization, assistance, insurance, discussion, application, and liquidation. In many instances you will need to use these words; but, when you can use their verb form, do so. Even when a nominalization is not the subject of a sentence, try to revise using the verb, as shown in this example. Please let us know when we can be of assistance to you. Revision: Please let us know when we can assist you. Replacing assistance with assist makes the sentence shorter and more action-oriented. A working knowledge of passive voice is necessary when considering the tone of your message. Unless you need to use the passive, avoid it whenever you can. However, the passive is often used to improve the tone of a communication and to de-emphasize who took the action if that is not important. Poor: You did not complete all the items on the form. Better: All the items on the form were not completed. (Better tone) Poor: The construction company finished the building on Wednesday. Better: The building was finished on Wednesday. (This example is better, assuming that it is not important or it is implied who finished the work.) 1-10 Concise Verbs vs. Nominalized Verbs Use Concise Words Avoid Normalized Verbs analyze make an analysis of act take an action assume make assumptions about assist give assistance to apply make an application appear make an appearance approve give approval to announce make an announcement believe hold the belief that can be in a position to conclude reach a conclusion about consider give consideration to correct is corrective of depends is dependent on discuss have a discussion of desire have a desire for decide make a decision to end bring to an end examine make an examination of emphasize give emphasis to estimate make an estimation of infer draw an inference that imply make the implication that investigate make an investigation of know make cognizant of rely have reliance on realize make a realization that refer make reference to repay make repayment for recommend make a recommendation that request make a request represents is representative of react have a reaction to suggest make the suggestion that 1-11 Wordy Phrases Use single-word substitutes instead of phrases whenever possible without changing meanings.

Examples: The whole day was spent returning phone calls, reading the mail, and dictating correspondence. When reading this report, you will: Learn the costs involved in old inventories. Appreciate the new computerized accounting system. Understand the new elements in the zero-based approach. Titles and Numbers Names of books, magazines and newspapers should be underlined or put in italics. "Fortune and Business Week are important information sources." "The Wall Street Journal had an article on that topic recently." Numbers included in text vary according to their value and location. Numbers opening a paragraph or at the beginning of a sentence are written as words. "Three hundred bankers rushed Wall Street today." Numbers one to ten (1 to 10) are entered in text as WORDS. "I have three job offers in New York." Numbers above ten are placed in text as digits except when they open a paragraph. "She left her son $4 million in cash and securities." 1-13 Regional Usage/Slang Regionalisms should be avoided in formal writing. For example, in this part of the country it seems to be common practice to omit "to be," as in, "The job needs done." Since there is no verb in that phrase, it is not a complete sentence. In business writing, including assignments for this class, use "The job needs to be done." Proofreading Guidelines Proofread everything, including titles, subtitles, words, punctuation, capitalization, indented items, and numbers. Concentrate on each word. If necessary, read your document backwards to check spelling. Then read sentences and paragraphs out of order. This helps you read what you actually have typed instead of what you believe you have typed. Cover the document with a piece of paper so you can read only one line at a time. This will help you overcome your eyes' tendency to move on too quickly. Read aloud to someone who will follow along on another copy of the document. Examine all numbers and totals. Recheck all calculations and look for misplaced commas and decimal points. Make sure all quotation marks, brackets, dashes, and parentheses come in pairs. Double check all highlighted material. Keep a list of all repeated errors. See if you find a pattern that will help you proofread future documents more effectively. Ask co-workers to proofread your document and to initial it when they are confident they have uncovered all mistakes. Product Evaluation Ask yourself, "Does this communication achieve its purpose?" Obtain feedback from others about the quality of the communication. Encourage feedback from the receiver about the quality of your communication. 1-14

Breakout players for 2013: No. 1
December, 21, 2012
By Josh Moyer | ESPN.com
AP Photo/Gene J. PuskarPenn State offensive tackle Donovan Smith (76) blocks Wisconsin linebacker Mike Taylor (53) and opens up a big hole for running back Zach Zwinak (28).Over this past week, NittanyNation has counted down the five Penn State players who weren't named to the All-Big Ten teams and are poised for breakout seasons in 2013.
The No. 1 breakout player: LT Donovan Smith, rising redshirt sophomore
When Smith was first recruited by Penn State, the staff playfully pulled out the chair he was about sit on. "That was Levi Brown's chair," former assistant Bill Kenney told him.
Kenney and the staff explained how Brown was picked fifth overall in the 2007 draft, and they emphasized just how much Smith's playing style reminded them of the Arizona Cardinal.
Kenney may no longer be with the team, but it's still pretty evident this staff still thinks highly of Smith -- and that he has a bright future ahead of him. At 6-foot-5, 316 pounds, Smith is already close to the prototypical size for an NFL tackle. And, even though he's been on campus for just two years, he's already dripping with NFL potential.
The Maryland product was limited in 2012 because of a combination of injuries. He missed a lot of preseason practice with a lingering hamstring injury, missed two games and also saw limited time when he broke his hand and was forced to wear a cast.
Smith wasn't 100 percent for nearly his entire redshirt freshman campaign. If he stays healthy, with another offseason of training under Mac McWhorter and Craig Fitzgerald, he could be the next big -- pardon the pun -- thing in State College.
He's flexible, athletic, powerful and has put in the work. He's added about 51 pounds since high school, and it's a distinct possibility he could be the best player on the line next season. He's likely to leave Penn State with a few All-Big Ten selections -- and next year could only be the beginning.
Quotables: "He's an excellent young player. He's a left tackle that's athletic and big and tough, and you know he's had some bumps and bruises over the last couple games." -- Bill O'Brien

I won't do it again, bad experience from both sides i think
Robert, Sarah, Anthony and Christine are friendly polite and tidy, and it was a pleasure to host them in recent days. Even if only for two days, I'm sure that you could make an idea of the many things you can do and see here on Lake of Garda.
Being a private apartment in total use of guests that are normally in two, it is quite normal that there is only one bathroom. The room that you have used, it is normally used as a living room, and only at the request of the guests is used as a second bedroom :).
I'm very happy your first time with Airbnb was ok :)
I was also very happy to meet you.
If you come in the Lake of Garda, now you know where sleep ;)
Very great guests

This episode will talk about the importance of volunteering in your community. Why should the Body of Christ get involved in community events? Serving is the key to Christianity. This topic will be explored with special guests.
Lara Dolan: The Business Impact of Volunteerism
in Entrepreneur
Today Steve Gordon and Dana Reeves will be talking about a variety of topics, from the best cities to launch your startup, to whether or not you should drain your 401k to start your company, and if you're having trouble figuring out what business to start, we'll share 7 hot, but kind of wacky, ideas that entrepreneurs should consider.
They'll also be talking with special guest, Lara Dolan, about the impact her volunteerism has had on her business and her family.
Currently a real estate agent with Keller Williams Realty Consultants, Lara specializes in residential and equestrian properties and lives here in Alpharetta with her husband and two daughters. She got her start in business with a number of sales and marketing positions with technology and consulting companies. After leaving the work force for a number of years while her daughters were young, she chose real estate as her marketplace re-entry point. Lara started her own company, Kismet Management, to help clients get through the real estate down-market by finding qualified tenants for their single-family homes, and managing those properties on behalf of her clients. In 2013, Lara sold Kismet Management and turned her focus toward traditional real estate, creating the Craft Dolan Team at Keller Williams.
In addition to work and family, Lara passionately supports the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, chairing several large fundraising events, and as a member of the Georgia CFF Volunteer Board. In 2006, family friends in New York lost their then 13-year-old daughter to cystic fibrosis. Suddenly it wasn't enough to just write a check – and that's when Lara's commitment to raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation was born.

HuHot Mongolian Grill Sees 7-Percent Sales Increase
Read More About
HuHot Mongolian Grill's same store sales increased 7 percent during the first period of 2015 as compared to the same time in 2014.
The company credits the increase in sales to a rise in visits seen at almost every location, driven by improved operations and marketing. HuHot's company-owned Lafayette, Indiana location is one of the main stores leading this charge with a 34.9 percent increase compared with the prior year. This increase is greatly attributed to community relationship building through local store marketing efforts by general manager Anthony Bonfitto in 2014.

Meeting accessibility standards is one important aspect of achieving our goal. The W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 – also known as ISO/IEC 40500:2012 – is the best-known international standard for accessibility and is being adopted into policy by countries and organizations around the world. The IAAP targets WCAG 2.0 AA to guide our efforts in delivering accessible content.

Calling all writers: Get a free professional critique
Published: Tuesday, February 7, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 7, 2006 at 11:33 a.m.
HOUMA -- If getting your writing published has long been a dream of yours, the third annual Jubilee Jambalaya Writers Conference offers an opportunity that shouldnt be missed.
The conference will be held April 8 at the Terrebonne Parish Main Library and is a one-stop shop for literary information.
To get a free professional writing critique, send in no more than 100 lines of poetry or 1,500 words of prose. Attach a biography of no more than 50 words and a signed, dated statement allowing publication in the "Jubilee Anthology." Include your contact information such as name, address, phone number and e-mail.
Submit two printed copies of the work and a disk with an electronic version saved in Microsoft Word format (these files end in .doc). Makes sure the disk is labeled with your name and the title of the written work. Include a $25 check made out to Friends of the Terrebonne Parish Library and submit the entry in person at the Main Library or mail it to Amy Whipple, Terrebonne Parish Main Library, 151 Civic Center Blvd., Houma LA 70360.
The entry must be received or postmarked by 4 p.m. Friday. Writers will receive their critiques at the conference.
Clearly indicate the writing genre, Whipple said. Areas to be critiqued include poetry, short stories, novels, drama, memoirs and nonfiction.
The $25 fee includes admittance to the conference as well as a jambalaya lunch.
"This was started as part of the Jubilee at Nicholls, because there was a need for people who wanted to learn more information about writing or getting works published," she said.
Last year, about 250 people participated in the one-day conference, and Whipple said she expects the turnout to be about the same this year.
After March 24, the conference fee will be $35.
The following people will critique submitted works for the conference:

Beginning its second year, Crossfire's Advanced Development Program (ADP) is an initiative designed to provide the optimum environment for the region's top youth soccer players by emphasizing development through quality training and limited, meaningful competition. Through structured session plans and consistency of coaching methodology, all Crossfire ADP participants will receive additional development opportunities, with sessions set to follow a uniform training philosophy, as the club strives to develop individual players as well as teams. The curriculum includes a significant technical emphasis, with increasing expectations for the tactical application of those skills, while also offering outlets for elite-level match play and supplemental travel.
2014-15 ADP Teams: Tryouts are Open to All Players, Regardless of Club
Teams included in the Crossfire Premier ADP program for 2015/16 include:
Boys born in calendar-year 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000. All boys ADP teams are calendar-year teams, with the cutoff date of January 1 of the given year.
Girls U-11, U-12 and U-13 teams. For 2015/16, the U-11 girls will be comprised of players born after August 1, 2004; U-12 girls born after Aug. 1, 2003, and U-13 girls born after Aug. 1, 2002.
Program Cost
Cost is $600 per player for the year, and the program price includes all training and local events, coaches, plus two training shirts. The program cost also covers travel opportunities as listed on the following page. Program runs for 10 months (May-March).
Training Times & Locations
Crossfire ADP teams will train on most Friday evenings in the fall and winter. Additionally, players will be invited to position-specific functional training on select Sunday afternoon/evenings.
Player Selection
Players for the Crossfire ADP program are identified and recommended by club coaches and directors. There will also be one-day open tryouts held in May for players seeking a spot on these teams. A total of 24 players will be selected for each age group, and again, tryouts are open to players from all clubs. However, players from clubs other than Crossfire, Snohomish United and Seattle United must first obtain director-approval to participate in the program from their local club's technical leadership.
₁All Crossfire ADP teams will play a limited number of friendly matches versus competition from Canada, Cal North, Idaho or Oregon. Games will be scheduled to not conflict with player's club commitments.
₂Crossfire ADP will pay for accommodations and meals for participants in the Portland Timbers Friendship Cup. 3The Crossfire ADP program will cover all travel expenses for the teams' trip to the Mayor's Cup and to PDT, including airfare, hotels and meals. A total of 16 players from each player pool will be selected for this trip.
The Crossfire U-13/14 USSDA academy team for 2015/16 encompasses the 2001 and 2002 birth years,. This team participates in two to three US Soccer showcase events per year and may take part in additional competitions, potentially including international travel.
Elite Player Identification
Crossfire ADP players have additional opportunities to be scouted for US Soccer elite programs, with players evaluated by US Soccer Youth National Team staff and/or by US Club Soccer id2 staff in various venues. For instance, US Soccer scouts attend and evaluate all matches as a part of the USSDA U-13/14 Showcases.

Beginning in September, Crossfire is offering a new, completely free street soccer program for club players ages 7 through 15. The program will be offered on Friday nights at Marymoor Park and is open to any registered player in the club.
Crossfire staff will set up four fields for small-sided games at Marymoor, provide colored bibs and supervise from the sideline, without coaching or assisting. Players are free to organize games and teams as they wish, determine rules and play. Player ages and genders may be mixed.
A street soccer schedule will be posted at www.CrossfireSoccer.org each month with days and times. Street soccer offerings are as follows:
Friday, March 27th 4-5:30pm Marymoor Park #1
The schedule will be updated weekly, based upon other activities and the weather.
The schedule will be updated weekly.
Players may arrive at anytime during the two hours and just join the play. A Crossfire staff coach will be in attendance throughout to provide adult supervision, but again, there will be no coaching.
Organized team training with a professional coach is not the only place to learn to play soccer at the highest level—for example, Johan Cruyff and George Best didn't hone their skills in a professional academy; they learned on the street. In fact, it's well known that countries in which most children continue to play unstructured soccer in streets, parks, vacant fields or even beaches tend to develop the most gifted soccer players. This is because these players are allowed to experiment, take risks and be creative without outside influences. But cultural changes in Europe have seen street football decline for 30 years. In most of America, it's never been big.
UEFA Coach of the Century Rinus Michels agrees wholeheartedly with the need to find ways to keep young players playing unstructured games. "My position is that street soccer is the most natural educational system that can be found. It is where youth players learn from their mistakes, unconscious of the technical, tactical, mental and physical qualities they are developing through the scrimmages being played."
Soccer is a game that constantly changes, the ball is always moving and there are many contests, individual, group and team, all over the field. These myriad situations in each game compel players to make adjustments, and a player's continuing development requires that he or she is given opportunities to explore solutions to the problems presented in a game. Crossfire Street Soccer is designed to provide that—a chance to play outside the team-training environment, without coach or parent interference, as players might in a park or vacant field if no one was watching. The coaching-free format is set up to encourage improvisation and taking risks with the ball, recreating an environment where there is more spontaneity and freedom of expression.
The college recruiting and selection process can seem overwhelming to players and parents, particularly for families who've not had any experience negotiating the course. There are so many questions to ask. How do I begin the recruitment process? Should my son or daughter take the SAT or ACT? How important are the test scores relative to high-school GPA? When do I contact a college coach? What is the NCAA Clearinghouse?
Simply put, it is the intention of Crossfire Premier to provide the single-most consistently successful college recruiting and advisory program in the nation. Our players work exceptionally hard throughout their years in the club, and we feel each and every one of them should be rewarded with the opportunity to take their skills to the collegiate game, if that's what they desire. To achieve this goal, working from various sources to include the experience of our staff coaches as well as the experience of the college coaches we work with daily, we have assembled the most comprehensive collection of information available, and we will continue to update it regularly.
All Crossfire Premier players from the 7th grade and up will receive a copy of the Crossfire College Preparation Program manual annually, and we encourage families to utilize it as their starting point for the recruiting process. Beyond this document, the club provides several additional resources for the college-bound athlete, beginning with the Crossfire Premier College Preparation Program+, our all-new and one-of-a-kind online resource. Upon registering for the upcoming season, each high-school-aged Crossfire player will be given a link and password for the new program. Once registered and signed-in, players will be able to enter their profile data, college target list and more information, which will be used by club personnel to guide their recruitment and follow the players' progress. For players and their families, the program will serve as a step-by-step online guide to the college recruiting process, taking them through the entire pathway, from writing introductory letters to college coaches through setting up an official visit, prompting each user with reminders and tracking their advancement.
The club offers more to families as well: in addition to the guidance, player marketing and administrative support and assistance from Crossfire staff coaches, each player and their families should attend the four free seminars that are conducted annually on behalf of the club; these include a seminar on SAT/ACT Test Preparation, a Financial Aid seminar to help families understand how to pay for college, instruction on Understanding the Recruiting Process and a seminar informing families on the club's Academic Support & Monitoring Program, which includes recommended tutoring services for those in need. Last, as a part of the SAT/ACT Test Prep portion of the program, each member of a Crossfire high-school-aged team receives one free practice test from Sandweiss Test Prep for both the SAT and the ACT, further preparing the players for a successful college search.
Each coach of a high-school-aged Crossfire Premier team will be available to their players for college recruiting questions and to dispense guidance and advice, as will any of the club's directors, but Crossfire has also created a new position within the club: College Program Administrator. This individual will not only organize and administrate the new College Preparation Program, but will also track players' progress, assist in setting up player profiles and will serve as a primary liaison between the club, players and their families, and college coaches. The Crossfire College Program
The Crossfire College Program Administrator will be your number one resource within Crossfire for all questions and concerns regarding the college recruiting process.
With the close of our seasonal ADP year, the coaches and directors of Crossfire would like to thank everyone who took part in this year's program, which was a resounding success.
We are extremely proud of this program, the players who took part, and how each and every group performed in their various competitions. ADP teams traveled to some of the top tournaments in the country, including the Las Vegas Mayor's Cup and President's Day Tournament, as well as two U-13/14 USSDA Showcase events and upcoming trips to Milan and the Dallas Cup for our older boys. We are excited to offer the same competition slate for next year.
It is our goal to offer nothing less than the very best player development and identification program in the nation, and as such, we've already noted several points of emphasis for changes in next year's program. As with any new offering, ADP will evolve as we learn what works and what does not, but know that our goal will always remain to identify and develop players who can transition successfully to the US Development Academy and ECNL levels of play--and to offer our program participants more opportunities for individual growth and development than they could possibly receive anywhere else. To this end, beyond the other slight alterations we plan to make to the program, we expect to offer even more training and more competitive events to the ADP calendar, while also introducing ADP families and players to our College Preparation Program, another feature of the overall Crossfire Player Pathway that makes our club second to none.
Congratulations to the Class of 2015. Today is the day they make their college plans official. As of now 36 players have made their final decisions. Crossfire players will be going to 30 different colleges and universities in 14 states. We expect 6-10 more players to make their final decision sometime over the next couple months. We will post updates as they come in.

Another large donation of gear was recently delivered to soccer players in Guyana! Fresh off of the generous donation in 2013, the Crossfire Premier Family in 2014 was joined by the FC Alliance Football Club and the Seattle Pacific University soccer teams in donating over 500 pounds of soccer gear to grateful eager footballer in Guyana. Once again, the Guyana soccer kids say a heartfelt "Thank You" to all clubs, players, families and coaches involved.
Crossfire Premier Soccer Club provided six large fiber drums used to ship the gear from Seattle to Guyana via Miami, the nearest US Port city. Three drums were filled with soccer cleats of various sizes, two drums of uniforms, and one drum of soccer balls.
I was especially excited to provide donated soccer gear to players of the Deaf Association of Guyana (DAG). Developing hearing and speech impaired youth through sport is a primary goal of this sports program, which has very limited resources at present. A special thanks to Guyana Football Federation technical director officer Mr. Lyndon France for bringing this program to my attention. On a side note, DAG is an organization that is affiliated with the David Rose School for the hearing impaired, where my mother served as this school's first head mistress in Guyana.
Buxton United and Beterverwagting (BV) Football Clubs, two of the soccer programs in Guyana with great youth development programs, again benefitted by the donation of soccer gear. East Ruimveldt Secondary School and Saint Pius primary school, up and coming school programs also received gear. There was also an impromptu donation of gear to a group of youth who routinely play soccer in Dedication Street on concrete pavement without any shoes. This group received donations of turn shoes, soccer balls and mini pugg goals.
Follow this link: www.facebook.com/crossfireguyana2014 or log into Facebook and search for Guy Ana to view my exceptional photographic skills and witness additional photographs from the trip.
Enjoy and thank you very much to Crossfire on behalf of the Guyana soccer playing fraternity.
Crossfire Premier is excited to announce the 2015 Inter Crossfire Residential Camps. Inter will be sending over multiple coaches to join the Crossfire Premier coaches, to help run the camp. The location will again be the beautiful Camp Casey on Whidbey Island. Both teams and individuals are encouraged to sign up.

Nice new concept art for PS Vita game Gravity
If you saw my hands-on preview of upcoming PS Vita title Gravity from E3 you'd know that the title is still early. Sony Studios Japan is supposed to have this game ready for the system launch, but right now they don't have that much to show in the way of gameplay. There is some nice new concept art from the game's official page, though.
The site has been updated to add world art to the character and enemy concept sketches. There's some great looking stuff in here, as you'll see in our gallery. I recognize some of the art from the demo I played at E3. The rest of it gets me excited for whatever else the game has in store. This game is definitely on my PS Vita launch Do Want list.

Not promotion, just real research.
It seems REZ has the right focus, but I am wondering why the return does not reflect that!
Any recommendation on other rental & healthcare focused ETFs?
I am also monitoring REZ for the same reason. Rentals and Senior RE should remain attractive for a while ..
Bummed there NO Pin action off the AVB & EQ Archstone deal!?
As of the middle of 2009, this ETF has been in an uptrend. It passed its 200-day moving average during that time, and this was confirmed by its 50-day moving average shortly thereafter.
As far as future performance, like so many of these ETFs, they don't have very long track records. So, trying to figuring out how things are going to go is a bit tricky.
Right on dawg. Do you think Romney-Ryan will have the nards to go through with it though? Once the GOP takes control again in November, they will likely change their tune about cutting the deficit. Cutting the deficit via elminating tax credits is the right thing to do of course, but once these guys are in charge they won't want to do anything politically unpopular.
way to look
$11M test
net profit.
came to $11M
and after taxes this came to
Test alone made $7M operating profit and $5M non-operating profit
REZ is getting hammered today. I'm waiting for the double digit yield to return.
Will make prospective new home buyers less likely to buy (as sellers will unlikely lower prices to make up for the value of the lost tax credit and it's hard to imagine mortgage rates getting much lower). This means a renaissance for rentals, i.e., companies that focus on renting apartments will see a resurgence of demand resulting in higher vacancy rates and potentially higher monthly rental income per unit. I just bought REZ as a long-term play on this phenomenon.
Here's recent news mentioning REZ - "Fed Finally Acknowledging the Housing Market Crisis and Their Inability to Fix It" - http://topwallstreetcrime.info/REZ
Here's recent news mentioning REZ - "Govt. Created Current Historically Low Home Ownership Level" - http://trading-fundamentals.com/REZ
Ahh yes, Fat Tires are pretty good - New Belgium Brewing Company. I like their "Ranger IPA" too.
That's good advice about listening to the pros. I know a few professionals, and whenever I've gone against their advice it has usually bitten me. Take care Pongman.
Since you are buying, I'll have a Fat Tire.
Larry, I don't have as much insight as you do but I found it necessary to just take some pro advice since I need to be a little more conservative then I have been lately. Still learning.

those who got vaccinated have NOTHING to worry about.
Well.... Except people who don't get vaccinated serving as incubators for various diseases, allowing them to evolve to the point where they become infectious again to people who were vaccinated against previous strains of the disease.
When you make something extinct THEN you don't have to worry about vaccinating. These diseases aren't extinct.
Please do not conflate this logic with an endorsement of allowing the government to force you to get vaccinated. You shouldn't have to. Its just unfortunate that your perception of the facts has persuaded you that you shouldn't.
