The Italian air force has accepted its first Sikorsky HH-3F combat search-and-rescue (CSAR) helicopter to have undergone an extensive avionics upgrade at AgustaWestland's Brindisi site in Italy.
Conducted under a multi-year contract, the modifications are to be applied to 15 Bravo standard HH-3Fs that are assigned to the air force's 15th CSAR Wing at Pratica di Mare air base near Rome. The upgrade was initially to have been applied to 28 of the air force's 35 HH-3Fs, but budget cuts have restricted this number.
AgustaWestland hopes to upgrade all 15 aircraft to the full CSAR configuration in the near future, with the project expected to extend the type's operational utility until a replacement can be fielded in the 2010-15 timeframe. Several of Italy's HH-3Fs now support Italian forces in Iraq.
The upgraded HH-3F has received GPS-based navigation and satellite communications, head-up displays, night-vision goggles (NVG) and NVG-compatible cockpit lighting, laser and radar warning receivers and new personnel location equipment.

I was your frog mosaic and was wondering if you have any turtles? I am wanting to do a turtle inlay on my patio.
Gidget- I don't have any patterns for Mosaic on my site, but you might want to check out Delphi Art Glass. They have a good site and catalogue- they might be able to help you. If all else fails, look for a good coloring book image to use. You can also use Google to look for "Turtle mosaic" or "turtle coloring book" and then click "images" to help you find some inspiration for your patio. Good luck!

The House of Representatives has voted to extend a law prohibiting plastic guns. But it punted on a far more controversial question: Whether guns can be 3D printed, with just a chunk of detectable metal added to skirt the ban.
The House voted Tuesday afternoon overwhelmingly in favor of a 10-year extension to the Undetectable Firearms Act, which forbids plastic guns that aren't spot by a metal detector calibrated to detect 3.7 ounces of steel. But that law, which has existed since 1988, didn't stop the libertarian group Defense Distributed from legally creating the world's first 3D-printed gun in May by inserting a block of nonfunctional steel in the gun's body. And its simple renewal has left the looming question of whether other legal changes, already proposed by several lawmakers, will be introduced specifically to counter 3D-printed weapons.
In 1988, when we passed the Undetectable Firearms Act, the notion of a 3D-printed plastic firearm slipped through metal detectors, onto our planes in secure environments was a matter of science fiction," New York representative Steve Israel said on the house floor. "The problem is that today it is a reality…so we have to act now."
Israel has argued since January of this year for a bill he's called the Undetectable Firearms Modernization Act, which would require all "major components" of a gun to be individually detectable by a metal detector–the slide and receiver, plus the barrel if the gun is a rifle–which would make it far harder to legally 3D print a gun.
Israel added in his House floor speech that he still supported the renewal of the 1988 law. "In our view this bill is not perfect," Israel said. "I would have preferred to modernize the Undetectable Firearms Act, to eliminate some loopholes in the law, by requiring that certain metal components be permanent or not easily removed. i would have liked to close that loophole. But frankly I believe that even a loophole in a law is better than no [law] at all."
Israel's additions to the Act have been seen by the firearm-focused 3D-printing group Defense Distributed as a direct attack on 3D printing as a universal tool. "Make no mistake. This is the first major legislation prompted by fear of what people could do to with 3d printing," says Cody Wilson, Defense Distributed's founder. "Anyone who argues it isn't must be a New York democrat trying to pass the bill."
When I spoke with Israel in January, he emphasized that he isn't opposed to 3D printing as a tool, only dangerous applications of the technology. "I'm not seeking to regulate or reduce the use of 3D printers at all," he told me at the time. "This isn't about 3D printers. It's about the use of a 3D printer to manufacture a weapon that can't be detected by metal detectors."
When Wilson first released the blueprints for the "Liberator" 3D-printed gun online in May, the State Department demanded its removal for possible export control violations. Nonetheless, the gun file was downloaded more than 100,000 times in a matter of days and spread to sites like the Pirate Bay.
3D printing firms have also moved to prevent their products from being used for printing weapons. Stratasys seized a printer rented by Defense Distributed last October after learning the group's intentions. A few months later Makerbot purged 3D-printed blueprints from its online repository. More recently, a free tool known as Disarming Corruptor has allowed anyone to encrypt 3D-printing blueprints such that their shapes can be distorted and shared without detection.

New Documentary 'Love Child' Examines the Game-Addicted Korean Couple Who Starved Their Child to Death
In 2010, a 3-month-old baby named Sarang died of malnutrition while her parents were out of the house. The two were at a local Internet cafe, binge-playing a game called Prius Online, in which they were tasked with raising a virtual child.
The couple, who met online through the game, fled out of fear but were eventually captured by the local authorities and tried for the murder of their child. After a series of mental-health tests and interviews, the court ultimately ruled that they were not guilty of murdering their child, because they couldn't distinguish the virtual world from reality. Each received a very short jail sentence for negligent homicide.
The international news media leapt onto the story, expressing both fascination and disgust with the tragedy. That included director Valerie Veatch, who set out to understand the modern-day cultural and technological influences that caused Sarang's death.
The result, a documentary called Love Child, debuts on HBO this week. I spoke with Veatch about Internet addiction, the uniquely tech-driven culture of Korea, and where the couple are now. Highlights from our chat:
What piqued your interest in this story?
On a subtle intuitive level, I was always kind of creeped out by the way that everyone just started using their smartphones. I felt like people around me had weird phone addictions, like Facebook and Grindr and all of these apps that are designed to suck you in and produce a certain level of user behavior.
Then in 2010 I was in Rome, and BBC International was running a story about the Sarang case. It stuck out in my head because it felt like a poignant moment, where the virtual world is distinctly and acutely represented as a factor in the real world. The collapse between those two spaces felt like it would be a really interesting story to try and tell. In the process of telling it, I could explore the themes and aspects of the way technology is impacting our society.
Love Child touches on South Korea's super-high-tech infrastructure and how it's become a big part of the country's culture. Do you think this incident could've only happened there?
There have been several instances of parenthood or traditional family structure being interrupted by gaming or Internet overuse all around the world. This isn't unique to Korea. This issue is so focused in Korea because they have the fastest broadband infrastructure. They've had the fastest Internet for about 15 or 20 years, and all the companies that are making these interface devices — like flatscreens and smart TVs and smartphones — are all in Korea.
I think a lot of people feel like, Oh they're just sitting in a room staring at a screen, how sad. In reality, they're having a highly social experience. In Korea, there's a love for hanging out in a big group. That cultural factor makes it so that sitting in a gaming console and hanging out with your friends online isn't necessarily weird. More people can be together in one space, and it's actually kind of wonderful.

'Laughing gas' legal high warning
14th August 2014 --Local authorities are warning against the use of nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, as a 'legal high'.
What do we know about nitrous oxide, and what are the risks? Read our FAQs.
What is laughing gas?
Nitrous oxide is used to numb pain during medical procedures such as dental work and as pain relief during labour, but has become popular as a 'party drug'. It is often inhaled from balloons in clubs and at music festivals.
Because the gas can make a person feel relaxed, calm or euphoric, it was nicknamed laughing gas.
The drug information website Frank says the gas is also known as whippits, hippie crack or chargers.
What are the risks of laughing gas?
Used by trained professionals for medical use, nitrous oxide is safe. However, when used as a recreational drug the risks include oxygen deprivation, loss of blood pressure, fainting and heart attacks.
The gas slows down brain and body responses. A person using the gas may feel dizzy, have trouble thinking and may giggle and laugh a lot. Sounds around the person may seem distorted and they may hallucinate. The gas may cause a headache shortly after it is inhaled.
The risks are higher if the gas is inhaled in a small space, or if a lot of gas is inhaled quickly.
Several deaths have been linked to laughing gas use.
Prolonged use of laughing gas can cause anaemia, affect bone marrow and cause nerve damage. Experts from the Local Government Association say the risks become higher if the gas is combined with alcohol or other drugs.
What's the legal situation with laughing gas?
Aside from regulated medical use, nitrous oxide can be bought legally for food use, such as whipping cream and in packaging to help preserve food. It also has some use in engines.
Possession of laughing gas is not illegal, but the medicines regulator MHRA says the supply of the gas for inhalation as a recreational drug is illegal and can only be supplied in this form by a registered pharmacist.
What's being done about laughing gas?
Local authorities have been issuing warnings about the dangers of using laughing gas to try to counter the impression given by some websites and video clip sharing services that laughing gas is harmless.
Councillor Katie Hall, chair of the Local Government Association's Community Wellbeing Board says in a statement: "It is deeply disturbing that this drug, which can be highly dangerous, is still widely viewed as safe."
Essex County Council is arranging special patrols to look for laughing gas use and canisters at the V Festival and Brownstock events in the county. Donna Martin, Substance Misuse Trainer for the Drug and Alcohol Partnership says in a statement: "Just because something says it is legal doesn't mean it is safe."

Lots and lots of sage!
I have a beautiful purple sage plant that has grown a ton this year. I'm looking for some new ideas for using/saving it. Has anyone ever made sage pesto? The plant will last through Thanksgiving so I will use a lot of it for turkey/stuffing etc, but I'm looking for some new ideas for my tons of sage.

Nov. 19, 2008
NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - Five Matador players were recognized for their efforts throughout the 2008 season as the Big West Conference released their 2008 All-Big West Men's Soccer Teams late Tuesday afternoon.
Senior Kevin Guppy bookends his Cal State Northridge career by receiving Co-Goalkeeper of the Year honors after previously winning the award in 2005, sharing the honors this season with Cal Poly netminder Eric Branagan-Franco.
Guppy was also one of two Matadors named to the All-Big West First Team; joining him on the prestigious list was junior midfielder Sunghyun Kim.
Sophomore forward Camilo Rojas and junior defender Robert Pate received All-Big West Second Team honors, with junior defender Chad Borak named to the All-Big West Honorable Mention squad.
A constant in goal for the Matadors all throughout his career, Guppy ranked fifth in the Big West this season in goals against average (1.12), third in save percentage (.783), tied for second in saves (83), second in saves per game (4.37), and third in shutouts (6). As one of the most successful goalkeepers ever to wear the Matador jersey, the senior from Chino Hills also ranks amongst the best ever to play in the Big West as he ranks second in goalie wins (38), matches in goal (79), and goalie minutes (7,469), fourth in shutouts (25) and seventh in goals against average (1.00) on the Big West career lists.
This is the fourth consecutive season that Guppy has earned All-Big West Honors after being named to the First Team in 2005, Honorable Mention list in 2006, and Second Team in 2007.
In addition to Guppy, Kim has also earned All-Big West honors in each season of his collegiate career. Named to the First Team this season, Kim was named to the Second Team during his freshman year in 2006, and received Honorable Mention in 2007.
Leading the way for Northridge this season with a new career-high mark of seven assists, the Los Angeles native also finished tied for fourth in the conference in assists, and tied for sixth in the conference with 17 total points. Kim's five goals scored this season were the second-highest mark on his team, and eighth-highest amount within the conference.
As one of two Matadors receiving All-Big West Second Team recognition for the first time in their respective careers, Rojas finished the 2008 campaign and led the team with seven goals, 49 total shots, 24 shots on goal, and 17 points, all career-high marks.
Compared to his conference peers, Rojas ended up tied for sixth in total points, and seventh in goals scored in his breakout season for the Matadors.
One of only four CSUN players to participate in each and every game this past season, Pate ended up finishing the 2008 season with a career-high five assists. As part of a defensive back-line that faced some of the most potent offenses in the nation, Pate's intensity on the field, and success in routinely neutralizing the scoring ability of opposing forwards, helped the junior from Chatsworth earn All-Big West Second Team honors.
Also receiving all Big-West recognition for the first time in his collegiate career was Borak, the only Matador named to the ten-man Honorable Mention squad. Finishing the season with two assists, Borak was an integral part of a stingy Matador defense responsible for six shutouts, and allowed only 23 goals to their opponents this season.
After playing in only two matches last season before being granted a medical redshirt due to a season-ending ankle injury, the recognition caps a remarkable comeback for the native from Palmdale, who will return for his senior season next fall.

Seeing your favorite 90s crush 15 years later all sexed up on the cover of a magazine produces many emotions (just listen to that J. Geils tune "Centerfold"). We felt it when Wonder Years star Danica McKellar (a.k.a. Winnie Cooper) appeared in Stuff, and we feel it now looking at Boy Meet's World's Danielle Fishel on the cover of Maxim.
Don't get us wrong, she looks awesome, but there's something so weird about seeing Topanga stripped down. Isn't she married to Cory Matthews? What does he think of all this? Or maybe it's just bizarre to see our nostalgia Tiger Beat fantasies brought to life. We imagine this resurgence is to prep us for the new grown-up Topanga Matthews that will hit the tube on the upcoming sequel series, Girl Meets World. Will she be dressing like that? It's definitely a far cry from her 90s gear. Check out some classic throwback picks of Danielle in the gallery above!

Re: Joey Kramer
On September 8, 2010 I got to meet the man! Not a penny was paid for this meeting it was all done through Twitter.
He is so kind, so gentle speaking and very generous. When the tweet came in that he was giving me a private book signing I nearly fell over! He signed my book, met my daughter and her boyfriend, answered a few questions for me and I asked him if he broke a stick could he throw it my way. Well he turned to his body guard and asked him to go get me a pair. When the sticks came to me he had also signed them.
I am adding the picture because I love it so much and want to share it with others who will understand. (Sorry about the red eye, I don't usually look like the devil!)
Rock on fellow drummers!

The Bridge is the area on the Satellite of Love where most of the host segments take place. A series of doors lead from the bridge to the theater, and there appear to be many other ways to get from the into the theater. Based on the opening sequence of Seasons 8 - 10, where the crew is briefly seen looking out a window, the bridge is located in the upper-right sphere of the dog-bone-shaped ship.
The Bridge contains a desk where Joel Robinson/Mike Nelson and the bots are standing behind during the host segments, with the first of the doors that lead to the theater directly behind them. On the desk is a panel of three colored lights. In some episodes in Season 8, the desk also contains a steering wheel for controlling the SOL. On the right (left for the viewer) of the door are the Hexfield Viewscreen and a window, and in the corner to the left (right for the viewer) of the door is the airlock.
In Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie, the bridge is seen in more detail. It turned out there is also an area in front of the desk with another steering wheel.

To describe
This odd pain
I'd liked you
That much is true
But it stopped there
So its not fair
For me to feel like this
So mixed
You moved on faster than I thought
It hurts to know how soon you gave up
I pretend
And say, "Let's be friends."
But was it all a lie?
The feelings you conjured up inside
For me?
The distant way you brush me aside
As cool as ice
I meant nothing to you
Did I?
It's just the same
I'm like a pawn in a chess game
You'd never hurt me
You're too blind to see
That you did
"I'd never hurt you."
It's a line that's been reused
And I was a fool
For falling for that one too
Don't say it,
"I'd never hurt you."
It's cruel
Because in the end
You always do

City beat CSKA 2-1 in Moscow two weeks ago but that game was marred by monkey chants aimed at Toure for which the Russian club have since been punished by UEFA.
"Every time that we see something like that - racist chanting and things like that - we get very frustrated," Zabaleta told Sky Sports News.
"What happened with Yaya last time - he was a little bit down after the game but we tried to give him our support."
Zabaleta also admitted being pleased for Costel Pantilimon who is set to start in goal ahead of Joe Hart for the third game running.
"I'm very pleased for him - he has been working very hard for many years and now he has the chance to show the fans and players that he's a great goalkeeper.
"We have two players for every position at this level and we need to perform well week in, week out to keep your place in the team and then the manager will decide who are the best players for each game."
A win against CSKA Moscow at the Etihad Stadium, coupled with victory for Bayern Munich at Viktoria Plzen, would see City progress to the Champions League knockout stages for the first time.
Manchester City v CSKA Moscow is live on Sky Sports 2HD at 7pm

Michael Che has a few words for Grammy winners Mumford & Sons.
Or Mom & Sons? Who knows.
Michael Che has a few words for Grammy winners Mumford & Sons.
Or Mom & Sons? Who knows.
Our jaws dropped when we read this story on Us Weekly. According to them, everyone's favorite Carey Mulligan is married to Marcus Mumford, her musician beau! The couple have been dating since early last year — they met at a Mumford & Sons gig in Nashville on February — and rumors of Mulligan and Mumford being engaged took off soon after. Turns out, he popped the question in August last year after just five months of dating, but they took their time with a nice long engagement. It's being said that that they got hitched on a farm in Somerset, England, over the weekend. The thought of it makes us sigh already because this whole Somerset farm thing is truly dreamy. It's the perfect spot for the ideal hipster wedding. The countryside is the spot now.
Apparently, they exchanged their "I do's" in front of some hundred guests, who included their famous friends, like Sienna Miller, Colin Firth and Jake Gyllenhaal. That doesn't even begin to satisfy us! We need more details — like the dress! Photographs! Something? But we are very happy for the newly married couple. Congratulations, you two!

Carey Mulligan has made quite an impression on her fellow British countrymen. Mulligan, who broke up with Shia LaBeouf last October, has become a bit of a serial dater now that she's an un-kept woman, having reportedly dated Eddie Redmayne, Tom Sturridge, and now Marcus Mumford, lead singer for Mumford & Sons, all in the span of a few months.
Well, color us jealous. Personally, we think Redmayne is capital-H Hot, but we're kind of envious of Mulligan for managing to charm all three Brits with her feminine wiles. The question is, if you had to pit them all against each other, which pasty Englishman would win in a Battle Royale? Redmayne is certainly a fox with acting chops to boot, having won a Tony last year. And you also have Tom Sturridge, who's already been snapped up by Sienna Miller and can claim to be the "be fri" to Robert Pattinson's "st end." But then, how can one resist Marcus Mumford's musical prowess? Who cares if he looks like a British version of Steve Perry from Journey just ate Ken Marino from The State? The guy can sing.
So who would you pick to be your beau? (Assuming you earned their affection and they were all fighting for you, obvs.) It's certainly a tough competition.

Unfinished Solid Wood Floors - Long Length & Wide Planks
Email or Call for a quotation NOW:
Milling Your Hardwood Floor: Up to 12 feet long and 8 inches wide
The process of milling your floor starts with the carefully hand selection of seasoned kiln dried woods. We will carefully pick lumber with suitable grain, color and grade to best match the vision you have, of the floor for your home.
Once this is done we will mill the wood using precision machinery, that will not only give you an accurate smooth top surface, that truly needs little or no sanding;
but industry recommended relief grooves on the bottom to help your floor stay flat. Our standard floors are tongue and grooved on the sides and ends as well. This allows for accurate, easy, and fast installation without the need for extra time consuming on-site cutting. The tongue and grooves are milled with enough tolerance, so that they go together easily, and do not require the need for aggressive forceful persuasion (a big hammer!).
For those who prefer, we also offer other milling options such as ship lap, square sides, and beveled edges. These options generally cost the same, or sometimes a little less. Talk to a representative for more information on these options.
Our slow speed milling process uses the latest insert tooling to give a precise, chatter free surface to every board. This together with constant monitoring and handling of each plank means every floor reaches its destination ready for installation. We are often told by flooring contractors that our milling is the finest they have ever worked with. Obviously making a floor easy to install is important as many homeowners attempt the job themselves.
Not a very hard wood, but a wood that makes a very attractive floor. Knotty pine, as it is commonly known, is cool in the summer, yet your feet will enjoy how warm it feels on a cold winter's morning. Available in nice wide widths, it makes you think of those distressed antique floors of the early part of the century. New England pine stains very well so whether you want it light and bright or with a darker, or a pumpkin hue this wood is a great choice at a truly amazing price.
Hardness: 1.0 Stability: Average
Southern Yellow Pine is harder & more durable than white pine, as its name suggests Southern Yellow has a more yellow color and is available with or without knots. With its distinctive straight grain and pale light giving color it gives a fresh open feel to any room. Easy to stain, it can again be made to look like a mature floor in no time and yet is still relatively inexpensive.
Hardness: 2.9 Stability: Average
Probably the most popular wood used for flooring, it has a deeply defined grain, which is instantly recognizable. Red Oak will take stain well and is a hard-wearing floor. Pale yellowish brown with a pinkish hue, Red Oak is always a good choice.
Hardness: 5.5 Stability: Average
Basically the same characteristics as regular Red Oak, Northern Oak is a red oak that grows in colder climates. It grows more slowly and is generally more dense. Therefore it is a little harder, which is never a bad thing with house full of children! The other main difference is its delightful even wheat yellow color.
Hardness: 5.7 Stability: Average
Well White Oak is really brown to yellowish brown - not at all white as its name suggests. Slightly harder, more durable and stable than Red Oak it is truly a sturdy, rich looking floor which will add a touch of class and stability to any home. Perhaps the finest wood for staining, White Oak will enable you to blend the color to suit your décor. A little less common than red, white oak is a floor that can be made to look as if it's been in your home for years with very little work.
Hardness: 5.8 Stability: Average
What is Tiger Oak? A Red Oak tree that is grown in areas where there are mineral deposits in the soil. The tree absorbs the minerals as it grows and so creates a dark fleck or stripe in the grain pattern. Generally a rich reddish brown in color, the effect can be truly stunning. Some 20% harder than Red Oak, it is a beautiful and practical floor. Sadly it is often hard for us to find, and when available the price can reflects its rarity.
Hardness: 5.7 Stability: Average
Another well kept secret, but maybe not for long! Sassafras is sometimes called 'poor mans Chestnut' and is a particularly stable wood, although not the as hard as some hardwoods. It is ideal for areas close to the shore, lakes and rivers where humidity can be a problem. It has a grain pattern close to that of oak with a very pleasing chestnut brown to wheat brown color. A rich character-filled floor.
Hardness: 4.0 Stability: Very Good
Almost white with just a hint of yellow and beige - and with a deeply defined grain - Ash is a beautiful and under-used flooring wood. Because of its hardness and light color, Ash is a very difficult wood to stain. However, its natural color for those who are looking for a light floor is simply gorgeous. Most of our Ash comes from around the Canadian border, so it's slow grown in a cooler climate, which makes it harder and more durable than oak. Why else would they make baseball bats out of it?
Hardness: 5.9 Stability: Good
Maple is a heavy, dense wood which has a very fine texture. It has the ability to promote light in even the darkest room and is a great choice for a kitchen, or perhaps a contemporary home. Be warned however, Maple is among the least stable of flooring woods and is extremely difficult to stain, so you have to like the color.
Hardness: 6.7 Stability: Poor
Great name! Incredible look! Spooky maple is indeed a different kind of look for a hardwood floor; the stripes in the floor were created by little worms which made their home in the tree before it was cut down. Don't worry they aren't there any more, but the work they did will give you a casual floor that will have every visitor talking.
Hardness: 5.0 Stability: Average
Probably one of the most beautiful wood there is, American Cherry has a grain pattern that is almost three-dimensional and is really quite stunning. Don't forget the color - ranging from a pinkish-brown through to a deep red - cherry is truly a wood of outstanding warmth and beauty. Though it is one of the more stable hardwoods, cherry is isn't the hardest, so be warned. It takes a stain well and finishes extremely well. Alas! Without knots there is a hefty price tag.
Hardness: 4.2 Stability: Good
If you are looking for a really hard wood, look no further than Hickory. The hardest of the domestic flooring woods, harder even than oaks, Hickory is an extremely durable floor that is also very pretty to look at. It is basically a light colored wood that has dark and light streaks running through it, so don't expect it to be all one color. Actually the color variance is what gives Hickory its unique look. Not a wood that takes stain very well, but why stain it? For a farmhouse or cabin look Hickory is a must see.
Hardness: 7.8 Stability: Average
It's durable, very stable, stains well and finishes like a dream. But most of all its just plain beautiful. There really is nothing like the color of true Mahogany. Generally a reddish light brown with a hint of yellow, it gives a very rich look to any home. As Mahogany is an imported wood and very much in demand, it is one of the more expensive choices for a hardwood floor. Again, not particularly hard it may show wear more than most.
Hardness: 4.0 Stability: Very Good
Possibly the finest flooring wood available on the market today. It is without doubt one of the hardest woods used for hardwood flooring. It's certainly one of the most stable. It is very even colored, stains well and finishes well. It's rich red brown with yellow highlights are absolutely stunning to look at, and although not the cheapest flooring material it is by no means the most expensive. Put simply, a truly great hardwood floor.
Hardness: 9.5 Stability: Very Good
One of more popular exotic woods being used for wood flooring. Reddish brown with some yellow, Brazilian cherry is a color variant wood. So expect a lot of different colors in your floor. The variation however is what makes it a very pretty floor when clear finished. Brazilian cherry is also a very, very hard wood, unfortunately it isn't the most stable wood, so more attention must be paid to acclimation or you must expect more than average seasonal board separation.
Hardness: 10.0 Stability: Average/Poor
Purpleheart, and yes it is purple! The color really has to be seen to be believed, certainly not to everyone's taste but if you are looking for a very hard wood floor with a difference then this could be it. Purpleheart will move with the seasons but finishes well and will catch the eyes of every visitor to your home.
Hardness: 7.9 Stability: Average
Another spectacular colored wood, this time from Africa. Padauk is orange red with a lovely flowing grain. Padauk is harder than oak, relatively stable and finishes very well. This stunning wood is again for the person looking for a dramatic floor that makes a statement.
Hardness: 7.3 Stability: Good
For those looking for an older looking rustic floor, this old growth rustic white oak could be the one for you. Milled in a 7 inch board width, with a beveled edge to exaggerate the plank look, it is made from a grade of oak that contains knots and other growing marks. This is more typical of the floors you would see in turn of the century country homes.
Hardness: 5.8 Stability: Average
Picked for color and the beauty of growing marks and knots, Cottage Cherry is a gorgeous floor made in bevel edged planks in 4 - 8 inch widths. The rich red-brown, fine textured wood resembles the look of floors from 18th century rural France.
Hardness: 4.2 Stability: Good
Many woods are available Quarter Sawn, like Oak, Ash, Cherry and more. The logs are cut in a totally different way, parallel to the rays radiating like the spokes of a wheel from the center of the tree. The grain pattern achieved is very attractive and when used to make flooring it can all but remove the problem of board shrinkage and expansion. The only draw back is that this method is much more wasteful, therefore more expensive.
Hardness: Various Stability: Very Good
The Rustic versions of these woods simply contain knots, open knots, checks, cracks, and natural growing marks. All other characteristics are identical. For some this is exactly what they are looking for, the so-called blemishes are as nature intended and only serve to enhance the style of the floor. The prices are also very attractive. Rustics can produce a floor of unique quality and unrivaled character, and for some the rougher the better.
Naturals, like rustics, are a character grade containing the same kind of blemishes. The only difference is these cuts will just have less of these natural growing marks. Natural Ash for example has no knots like Rustic Ash, but will contain a higher degree of color variation than White Ash. For many people this grade is more attractive than a clear grade, but of course the price is generally that much less. For specific information on these grades please check with a sales person.
Caribbean Heart Pine is made from a pitch pine found in Central America. This wood, which grows in vast quantities in countries like Honduras, is a perfect wood for flooring. The high sap content makes this wood very hard for a pine, only 4% softer than red oak. As we pick only the heart or middle of the tree for our floors, this is one pine that is not only beautiful but very practical as well. We select the boards for a consistent knot count and because of the natural size of the tree we are able to offer this wood in widths up to 8.1/2".
Hardness: 5.2 Stability: Average
Another South American wood which is very hard, Brazilian Teak is almost 3 times as hard as oak. This wood bears an uncanny resemblance to that of 'true' or Burmese Teak at a fraction of the cost. A rich reddish brown with highlights of gold, this very fine grained wood is a real up and comer in the flooring world.
Hardness: 10.0 Stability: Average
African Rosewood is a very uniform wood in color and graining. A pinkish rose color when freshly milled, Bubinga as it is otherwise known, turns to a rich burgundy when fully aged. Known for its tight ribbon grain, it also exhibits a flame figuring, which truly turns this flooring into a piece of furniture.
Hardness: 8.5 Stability: Average
Brazilian Walnut is also known as Ipe or Ironwood. Often used for exterior decking because of its hardness and resilience to moisture, Brazilian Walnut makes an incredibly durable wood floor. Brazilian Walnut is about as hard as wood gets, so it really will take pretty much all you can throw at it. When first milled it tends to have many colors, from mid brown to yellow and even a hint of green. All of these quickly mute down, and after time will reach a rich mid brown.
Hardness: 10.0 Stability: Average/Poor
Coming from Africa, Sapele is growing in popularity as an elegant alternative to True Mahogany. Considerably harder than Mahogany with a fine interlocking grain and rich mid brown color with a hint of red, Sapele is an ideal choice for a more formal setting. Also available in a distinctive Ribbon grain cut, Sapele will perform well over radiant heat installations.
Hardness: 7.0 Stability: Very Good
Wenge is a Wow wood. It really has to be seen to be believed. Very dark brown to almost black when finished, and with an animal print grain, Wenge is truly one of nature's wonders. It is hard and stable and it finishes very well. So what, may you ask, is the problem? Sadly this wood is very expensive, so maybe it's better if you don't fall in love with it.
Hardness: 7.3 Stability: Very Good
As the name suggests Bloodwood is deep rich blood red color with a subtle grain pattern. This vibrant wood is another of natures gems, it is very hard and durable with solid stability characteristics. With such a vivid color, a bloodwood floor is a bold statement that will define any house.
Hardness: 8.5 Stability: Good
TIGERWOOD (Goncalo Alves)
This boldly striped wood is an orange/red brown with both wide and fine dark stripes. Time will see the lighter orange tones turn a darker red brown which will in turn make the striping more subtle. At about 80% harder than red oak this stunning wood is becoming more popular as a practical yet beautiful choice.
Hardness: 9.5 Stability: Good
Tiete Rosewood is a pale pinkish red color with hints of dark reds and purplish vein like streaks. Very hard with a muted yet elegant grain pattern, this wood will exhibit a subtle degree of color change over time, darkening to a slight more reddish hue.
Hardness: 10.0 Stability: Average

Nick York didn't let one bad hole ruin his day.
York overcame a triple-bogey to shoot a one-under-par 71 Saturday and grabb the first-round lead in the Tri-Cities Amateur Championship at Blackthorn Club.
The Tusculum College junior came to the ninth hole, a difficult par-four, two under par. He was cruising along nicely until he hit his ball in the hazard that runs the entire length of the hole on the left side and wound up with a seven.
As it turns out, it was York's only blemish of the day. He wound up with four birdies to counteract the triple and he was the only player in the championship field to break par.
"It was nothing special," York said. "That was really not my game, but it worked."
York comes into today's final round with a two-stroke lead over Blackthorn member Bryan Sangid, who shot 73. David Talley, York's teammate at Tusculum, and Matthew Smith both shot 74.
York, who made news last year with a second-round 62 while winning the East Tennessee Amateur, hasn't won any tournaments this summer.
"It's been really kind of dull," York said. "I've had some good rounds, just not any good tournaments. Maybe this will give me some confidence."
The ninth hole also got Tri-Cities Amateur Tour points leader Carlson Cox, who also made a triple on the hole.
"I'd say it's in the top five hardest holes around," York said. "When it's playing into the wind and I have to hit driver, 3-iron ... yeah, that's pretty tough."
Cox's triple bogey left him six over par at the turn, but he rebounded from that 42 with a 34 on the back nine for a 76.
"That could have been 85, for sure," said Cox, who plays at the University of Memphis. "I hung in there pretty good."
Cox is trying to win the Tri-Cities Amateur Tour player of the year award for the second year in a row. He came into the tour's final event with a 69.5-point lead over Justin Harvey, who opened with a 76. York was 101.5 points behind.
Should York hang on and win today, Cox would have to finish sixth or better to claim the points title. He enters the final round tied for sixth.
"I just have to go out and play golf," said Cox, who won the East Tennessee Amateur and Ridgefields Invitational this summer. "If you start thinking about it, you'll mess up like I did today on the front nine."
In the Senior Division, Tony Green shot 70 to grab an eight-stroke lead. His advantage is so big thanks to one bad hole from defending champion and points leader Mike Freels.
Freels played 17 holes in one under par, but that other hole was a doozy. He made a 10 on the par-3 seventh hole when lost his tee shot in thick rough and then hit two balls into the creek in front of the green.
"I was going along fine and then I didn't set up correctly to the ball and I hit a bad shot," Freels said. "It snowballed from there."
Freels hit another ball in the water at the next hole, the par-five eighth, but made a long putt to salvage par.
"I was definitely thinking about where my car keys were after seven," he said. "But I righted the ship."
In fact, he righted the ship with one ball. Freels played the final 10 holes with his last ball.
Green was hurt by a loophole in the rules. He qualified for the U.S. Senior Open and USGA Senior Amateur, but received no bonus points for those events in the Tri-Cities Amateur Tour standings. Players receive extra points for qualifying for state events, so not being rewarded for qualifying for national events was just an oversight that is expected to be corrected next year.
Green can still win the points title should he hang onto his lead and see Freels finish sixth or worse today.
"That won't happen," Green said. "Mike will shoot under par tomorrow."
Freels said he won't be worrying about the points while he's on the course.
"I just have to put that out of my head and play golf," he said.
