Industrial Flooring
For more than 30 years RESPOL has been a leader in innovative industrial flooring solutions. During these years, our family business has formed a research and development system that is constantly exploring new and improved flooring solutions, Our flooring is developed and manufactured in-house. This flooring includes epoxy resin, polyurethane, pumped polymers and flooring screeds and coatings.
Our expertise extends beyond the research and development to the end result of the installation of all our floors. Our flooring systems range from plain solvent free epoxy coating to colourful finishes with high gloss, anti-glare, plain, speckled or flecked flooring-to-flooring screeds. Regardless of the flooring you choose, it is installed by highly skilled and fully trained personnel.
Our floors are guaranteed to perform to highest standards providing years of cost-effective service. They exceed customer expectations every time.
Our floors are guaranteed to perform to highest standards providing years of cost-effective service. They exceed customer expectations every time.
Our mainstay is resin flooring that can be modified in any number of ways with additives for everything from anti-static to low-slip to anti-bacterial features and beyond that. Don't let the idea of chemicals bother you when you think of the scientific development of resin flooring. The chemical reaction involved in creating a resin floor is special in that the chemical reaction renders the end product inert. That is, there are no chemical reactions left in a completed resin flooring product.
Our continual research into improving and developing new products has allowed us to offer a vast range of material, styles, textures and colours. We can colour match to the complete BS4800, RAL and Pantone systems and we can create smooth or textured finishes.
RESPOL focuses on producing and installing top quality flooring while remaining as cost-effective as possible. One of our outstanding cost-effective features is that our flooring systems can cure overnight, minimising lost production time in your industrial environment. Another cost-effective offering is the potential to repair existing flooring.
We can simply apply a dust proof coating to seal an existing bare concrete surface or we can strip away old tiles and paint and prepare the existing substrate for a new resin flooring system that has custom properties that your business needs, such as being low-slip, anti-static, chemical resistance or anti-bacterial. Our flooring systems can be applied over concrete, steel, wood, asphalt and quarry.
We have installed millions of metres of industrial and commercial flooring, some medium duty, some heavy duty. From epoxy floor coatings to polyurethane floor coatings to new skins on old concrete flooring, to hand-trowelled concrete finishes and beyond, RESPOL has done it all.
RESPOL offers a complete nationwide service from preparation to installation, with free of charge and no-obligation survey and recommendations, with a single source uncomplicated warranty.
RESPOL is a member of FeRFA, the Resin Flooring Association, and has won the FeRFA Contractor of the Year award twice as well as the FeRFA Trainer of the Year Award. RESPOL is one of the leading Industrial flooring contractors in the UK today.For further information, please click here to receive a brochure or contact David Clark directly on 01952 740400.
Commercial Flooring Contractors
RESPOL has been installing quality seamless flooring systems for more than three decades. One of the leading Industrial and Commercial flooring contractors in the UK, RESPOL won the FeRFA Contractor of the Year award twice and recently were winners of the FeRFA Trainer of the Year Award.
FeRFA, the Resin Flooring Association, is a body representing the major companies involved in the resin flooring industry. These companies include the major product manufacturers, specialist contractors and surface preparation companies, raw material suppliers and specialist service providers. In other words, FeRFA sets the standards for the industry in the UK and RESPOL clearly meets and excels in those standards.
Regardless of your commercial flooring needs, RESPOL can meet them using our extensive in house techniques and technologies. We develop and manufacture epoxy resin, polyurethane, pumped polymers as well as flooring screeds and coatings ourselves. Our personnel are highly skilled and fully trained to the most recent and highest standards.
RESPOL's products are available in a wide range of material, styles, textures and colours. To elaborate, our colours include matching to the complete BS4800, RAL and Pantone systems.
There is not a commercial flooring treatment that we cannot handle. Our personnel can apply a dust proof coating to seal a bare concrete surface, remove old tiles, make full repairs and take care of all preparation needed before installing a new resin system for you.
Any and all of the special properties such as low-slip, anti-static, chemical resistance or anti-bacterial are available in our seamless solutions. Protective flooring systems specially designed for industrial and commercial use can be applied to concrete, steel, wood, asphalt and quarry.
The secret to RESPOL's success is in our research and development facility which continually develops and tests materials that are available off-the-shelf or in a custom formulated material. Having laid millions of square metres of flooring, RESPOL is completely aware of the requirements of the industries that need and use their flooring systems.
RESPOL's Reeflor MT is a new technology product for micro thin cementitious coatings. It works wonderfully well for decorative applications as well as a variety of different finishes for floors, walls and paving. It's perfect for commercial uses because it is extremely resistant to abrasion. Reeflor MT has superb adhesion properties. This coupled with its heavy-duty nature makes it ideal for commercial installation on surfaces such as stone, concrete, steel and wood.
Another innovation RESPOL has is Reeflor CT. This is a set of decorative epoxy flooring systems that offer endless bespoke flooring finishes. RESPOL considers this an outstanding match of performance and creativity. Not only can Reeflor CT be specified for new construction projects it is also more than capable of renovating old concrete surfaces.
These are samples of the commercial and industrial flooring installations that RESPOL can bring to your business. Anti-static flooring? Low-slip? Extra heavy-duty? Safety flooring? You can have any or all of these features.
Whether you have a current wood floor, vinyl flooring, vinyl tiles, concrete, or no floor at all, our savvy personnel can provide an analysis and recommendations for what is best for your industrial and commercial flooring needs.
We offer nationwide service for all aspects of our flooring solutions and a free and no obligation survey to ascertain what the best solution is for your flooring and recommendations on the flooring system that will best meet your needs.
A feature that businesses appreciate in commercial flooring contractors is the guarantee. Ours is the best. The warranty is single source and uncomplicated. Because our products and our installation services exceed expectations, it rarely factors but is there to offer total peace of mind.For further information, please click here to receive a brochure or contact David Clark directly on 01952 740400.
Hygienic Seamless Flooring
Seams may seem insignificantly small factors but if you could see the life that is living, thriving, and growing in the seams of a floor, you would be appalled. Fungus and bacteria such as e.coli, salmonella, listeria and MRSA are a challenge anywhere. In the food and beverage industry and pharmaceutical and healthcare environments, such seam colonies can be life threatening. They are certainly health threatening.
RESPOL's seamless epoxy resin systems are the perfect solution. Part of RESPOL's overall industrial, commercial and decorative flooring solutions, the seamless hygienic resin flooring products include anti-microbial systems.
Not only is this flooring seamless, meaning there is no place for bacteria and fungus to flourish in the cracks, the anti-microbial component keeps bacteria from thriving. Even the dangerous threats such as the above-mentioned e.coli, salmonella, listeria and MRSA are slowed down by this flooring system.
Just because RESPOL's hygienic seamless flooring can protect you and your team, that doesn't mean that this powerful flooring has to look bland and boring or sacrifice the other aspects that makes a really good floor the best in its field. We have a wide range of colours available as well as an excellent range of finish coatings. Indeed, our colour matching can incorporate your company's colours and logos into the flooring for that extra special atmosphere.
Furthermore, the seamless and aseptic flooring is also long-lasting, hard-wearing and can be treated with low-slip finishes. RESPOL custom tailors the flooring to your specific needs, meeting and exceeding international hygiene and food processing standards. The seamless floor finishes are easy to clean and impervious to food and drink spills. Polyurethane resin floor resists the normal wear and tear of foot traffic.
RESPOL offer bund linings & coatings in all our hygienic flooring & walls. A hygienic seamless flooring system is an excellent idea in a number of commercial flooring systems. It's not just for healthcare flooring or for places where food and drink are served.
While seamless floors are by their very nature more sanitary because there are no narrow seams where bacteria can flourish, the beauty of resin flooring is that we can use additives that alter and improve the nature of the floor finishes and make them more hygienic.
Our flooring provides years and years of trouble free service and we offer specialist screed & floor repairs. Regardless of the type of flooring you currently have or of the condition they are in, you can upgrade to our easy to clean, seamless floor finishes.
The proof of the success of our flooring is easily seen in the fact that more than 80 percent of our business comes from repeat orders. We are a favourite among companies seeking commercial flooring systems. Whether it is industrial flooring or healthcare flooring, the seamless choice is the way to go for durable and hygienic safety flooring.
Because RESPOL is a single source supplier and installation company, we also have a single source warranty. For further information, please click here to receive a brochure or contact David Clark directly on 01952 740400.
Seamless Factory Flooring
Seamless industrial factory flooring can add and improve any factory. RESPOL's seamless epoxy resin systems are ideal for all industrial and commercial environments. We manufacture and install seamless resin flooring solutions nationwide and have been doing this for more than 30 years.
RESPOL has installed millions of metres of flooring systems. Our floors can be installed in new industrial and commercial enterprises or we can refurbish existing flooring. Our seamless industrial flooring solutions provide years of cost-effective service.
We specialise in epoxy resin flooring products. These seamless epoxy resin flooring systems can come directly off-the-shelf or we can custom design them for your factory flooring needs. Our specialists can analyse and make recommendations regarding the ideal polyurethane resin flooring products for your environment.
Our seamless industrial flooring has many built in features as part of its basic nature. It is developed and manufactured with health and safety in mind. It is a hard wearing and heavy duty flooring product. The slip resistance factor can be accentuated and added to according to the needs on your factory floor.
RESPOL products and services are covered against surface breakdown or debonding. This includes materials supplied for concrete repair, wall coating, and chemical resistant tank lining. We used hazardous environment corrosion-proof membranes and our products are resistant to a cocktail of chemicals both at time of spillage and after evaporation. Our jointless concrete protection, installation of reversing levels and perimeter bunds offer additional protection against chemicals and other solutions used in a factory environment.
The flooring can be colour matched to BS4800, RAL or Pantone systems either in its basic overall colour or in special designs such as the company's logo or safety markings. These latter are especially useful in a factory setting. Line markings that mark workflow patterns, exits, safety requirements and sector demarcations add to the efficiency as well as the safety factor in a facility.
Our fast overnight curing is essential in a factory where downtime can be costly. Our research and development is always improving and expanding the attributes of our seamless flooring systems and we have been able to use the special nature of epoxy resin to speed up the curing factor to minimise a company's downtime while a new flooring system is being installed or an old flooring system is being refurbished.
RESPOL is a family business that has been supplying and installing flooring systems nationwide for decades. We are ISO9001:2008 certified and an award winning member of FeRFA. ISO9001:2008 certification assures that we achieve our constant goal of enhancing customer satisfaction with our continual improvement of the range and quality of our flooring systems.
We have an uncomplicated single source warranty – rarely a factor in RESPOL's business dealings because our products and our installation services exceed expectations. This fact is borne out by the repeat business that we receive – more than 80% of our business comes from our already satisfied customers.For further information, please click here to receive a brochure or contact David Clark directly on 01952 740400.
Low Slip Industrial Flooring
RESPOL is known for our seamless epoxy resin systems. We manufacture and install bespoke flooring solutions in industrial and commercial environment nationwide in the UK. Because we are a single source solution, we control all aspects and our flooring systems are developed and manufactured in house.
Our flooring systems begin with being hard wearing, easy to clean with high standards of health and safety. Epoxy resin is durable. The fact that our flooring products are seamless and made of epoxy resin, the basic nature of the flooring is safe. Fewer germs accumulate where there are no seams.
When it comes to applications that require strong slip resistance, our in house designed flooring solutions such as Reetop CQ 3000 and Reegrip CQ are created from a blend of heavy duty, hard wearing coloured quartz aggregates and solvent free epoxy resins and curing agents. These additives to the systems provide a low-slip, durable finish.
Another factor that may be one reason that most of our business comes from repeat customers is that our low-slip safety flooring is fast curing. This is an essential factor for installation in public areas where you don't want too much down time waiting for the floor to cure or in commercial areas where a quick installation is beneficial.
Low-slip industrial flooring products are de rigueur in environments such as office corridors, town centres, and hospitals where there is heavy foot traffic. Being low-slip does not mean being bland or boring. There is a tendency to take floors for granted but skid-resistant surfaces can be attractive and colourful.
RESPOL can colour match to BS4800, RAL or Pantone. Colour can transform mundane into an appealing, welcoming environment. We custom tailor decorative solutions that can identically match any corporate colour scheme, complete with corporate logos. Our coatings are available in matt or gloss and smooth or textured finishes.
Customers have told us that they feel that our professional personnel have the customer's best interest at heart. RESPOL really does and we are able to handle all known situations. Our process is holistic from mixing the proper additives into the basic brew for the flooring solution to the efficient contract application by professionals who have a full understanding of the customer's requirements.
As an example, our professionals might recommend that low-slip flooring should also include anti-static properties for areas with sensitive electronic equipment. Different parts of your commercial and industrial environment might have different needs. We can modify the flooring application to meet these highly specialised needs.
A great time and money saver is RESPOL's refurbishing service. We can take old surfaces that need to be brought forward to more colourful, safer, and more durable states and completely renew them. We remove the old tiles or paint surfaces, make the necessary repairs, prime the surface and apply our coating material.
Our single source warranty covers the design and installation of non-slip flooring systems with superb abrasive resistant non-slip finishes. The flooring will be low maintenance and durable, which translates into a long lasting, trouble free solution for most applications.For further information, please click here to receive a brochure or contact David Clark directly on 01952 740400.
Epoxy Resin Flooring
For more than 30 years, RESPOL has been at the top of the UK's commercial and industrial floor covering field. This position is fuelled by the innovative and thorough attention to the flooring systems we provide. We are the leading single source flexible supplier of epoxy resin flooring systems in the UK.
Our epoxy resin flooring systems perform to the highest standards because any floor we install begins with our in house team of experts who continue to explore new solutions to old flooring problems. The science behind epoxy resin is so well known by our specialists, they continue to come up with new combinations to meet the latest industry needs.
What is epoxy resin?
Epoxy resins are polyepoxides. Scientifically speaking, these are reactive prepolymers and polymers that contain epoxide groups. The epoxide groups are commonly known as epoxy and epoxy is known as a strong adhesive. This essentially means that the epoxy binds the resins together. Epoxy resins can easily be combined with a variety of effective co-reactants.
The various recipes for combining the resins can create a product that has mechanical properties that resists high temperature, UV and chemicals. With appropriate extra additives, the epoxy resin can also have high low-slip and anti-static properties, strong resistance to impacts and many other features as required.
Beyond the special properties of the flooring that RESPOL creates, the finish can be especially formulated using additives such as quartz aggregates, coloured aggregates, PVA flakes, aluminium oxide or even rubber. RESPOL also has an extensive range of available colours that can be added to the epoxy resin for a unique decorative effect.
This is why RESPOL has such a high percentage of repeat customers. Because our epoxy resin flooring solutions are designed from the initial formulation of the epoxy resin to the final installation, our customisation for each individual flooring system is as detailed as you want it to be.
Epoxy resins are produced industrially from raw materials that are for the most part derived from petroleum.
For industries more familiar with concrete flooring, it is worth mentioning that epoxy resin can be installed as a protective layer on any floor, including the additives for texture and colour, to make any floor long-lasting, dust-free and easy to maintain. If the substrate of your floor is sound, RESPOL can prepare, repair and save old floor slabs and install a new seamless skin at a tremendous saving to the customer.
As well as floors for the industry, RESPOL specialises in resin floor coatings and the appropriate line marking paint. From installing a damp proof industrial floor that is chemical resistant, anti-static, anti-slip, and durable, to applying screed to a concrete floor, RESPOL has the solution.
RESPOL's line of flooring solutions extends beyond epoxy resin flooring but this is the centre of their seamless flooring systems, which can meet any industrial need imaginable.For further information, please click here to receive a brochure or contact David Clark directly on 01952 740400.
Playground Safety Flooring
The need for playground safety flooring has never been so necessary. Volumes have been written on the health issues and burgeoning childhood obesity in the wake of the age of technology. Never before has there been such a need for playgrounds where children can burn off their abundant energy.
One of the first things that comes to mind is the major playground concern that children can get injured in a fall. There are many other playground mishaps involving tripping and rough surfaces and slipping and falling. This is where durable and seamless heavy-duty rubber playground flooring comes to the rescue. It protects children in a way that allows them to concentrate on their games and activities without fear of snagging feet on the edge of rubber matting or scraping knees on rough surfaces.
There are no puckers and bunchings around playground equipment with a heavy-duty rubber playground safety surface. RESPOL's playground safety flooring is constructed from rubber coloured granules with polyurethane binders. This results in a hard-wearing and durable safety surface.
Speaking of coloured granules, it is important to know that our heavy-duty rubber safety flooring for children's playgrounds can be colour matched to any BS4800, RAL or Pantone system. The fact is that tile and matting are not as flexible in colour and design choices as is RESPOL's playground surface choices.
Bright colourful rubber playground safety flooring does more than mitigate the dangers of critical fall heights and other potential playground disasters. It improves the overall functionality of a children's playground with attractive and appealing colours and designs. The colours can be chosen to complement the playground equipment or to mark out the area for special groups and teams with colour markings.
Heavy-duty seamless rubber playground safety surfacing is durable enough to withstand even the most rigorous childhood activities. It is suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Not only is the toughness of the flooring sufficient to withstand the daily activity of energetic children it can withstand the sun's UV rays. It doesn't fade, crack, or dry out due to the weather conditions.
RESPOL began more than 30 years ago as a family company and over the years we have made a significant investment in the flooring industry's most sophisticated and dedicated research and development facility. This is why RESPOL remains at the forefront of technological advancement, continually developing an unparalleled range of fully tried and tested off-the-shelf or custom formulated materials.
It is worthwhile to know that RESPOL can also repair and recover your existing flooring system with our playground safety surface material.
All flooring systems originate from our single source corporate company. RESPOL is a single source supplier and installation company. This means that we offer a single source uncomplicated warranty. We offer a complete nationwide service from preparation to installation, with free of charge and no-obligation survey and recommendations.For further information, please click here to receive a brochure or contact David Clark directly on 01952 740400.
Hospital Flooring Materials
Choosing the correct floor is always important but when it comes to choosing a floor for a hospital, extra attention and caution should be paid to the selection. The cleanliness standards in a hospital, just as in doctor's surgeries, residential care and veterinary surgeries, are called to a higher level.
Public areas, corridors, patient and treatment rooms, operating theatres, waiting rooms and offices must be pristinely free from germs, bacteria or any other health threat. RESPOL's specialised flooring systems for hospitals are easy to clean, anti-microbial and seamless. Seams are breeding grounds for dirt and bacteria.
Hospital flooring, or for that matter flooring in any healthcare environment, must be such that the flooring materials maximise safety for patients, personnel and visitors by minimising the spread of disease and destroying as much surface bacteria as possible. Tile and other floor coverings cannot compete with RESPOL's immaculate hospital flooring solutions.
As well as being hygienic, our healthcare flooring materials are low-slip and durable, dust-free and anti-static. This is not any kind of hospital vinyl flooring. Our seamless epoxy resin floor covering systems are custom designed to contend with high traffic areas while being decorative as well as having all the safety factors build right into the resin. Logos and health and safety markings can easily be designed directly into the seamless floor coating.
The best part of using our single source flooring services is that the flooring can be customised for the separate sectors of the hospital. For instance, in maintenance and plant room floors hygiene is not such an issue but other factors are. We can install another type of our in house designed commercial or industrial heavy duty flooring products. In such flooring situations, high impact resistant, chemical resistant and easy to clean and maintain flooring systems might be more suitable.
When it comes to choosing the correct floor for a hospital, RESPOL can consult and recommend the best flooring materials in hospital, pharmaceutical and medical sectors situations. Our solutions begin with choosing from the wide variety and types of resilient flooring materials available and move on up to discussing custom designed and specialised materials for hospital settings.
Each flooring material RESPOL offers originates in our laboratories and the requirements for floor covering in healthcare environments are firmly understood from the slip resistance necessity to the requisite infection control element. Our ability to add the appropriate additives to our tried and true epoxy resin flooring, coupled with our installation of seamless floor covering, emanate from the skill of our personnel in all areas.
RESPOL flooring contractors is a family business that has served the UK nationwide for more than 30 years. We provide a range of flooring solutions to cover any industry and we offer a single source warranty on all workmanship and materials. From design services and preparation to installation and finishing, RESPOL's reputation is enviable. We won the prized FeRFA Contractor of the Year award twice as well as the FeRFA Trainer of the Year Award.For further information, please click here to receive a brochure or contact David Clark directly on 01952 740400.
Anti Static Flooring
The effects of static electricity are not pleasant at the best of times. If you are working with computers or similar technology, the static electricity factor can be seriously damaging. A long-time solution is the use of vinyl tile and rubber mats at individual workstations. It does offer some protection but it is an awkward way around a big problem.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the challenge. ESD is nothing more than the sudden charge of electricity initiated when two electrically charged entities come into contact. Something as simple as your shoes building up an electrical charge as you walk across the floor can turn you into an electrically charged entity. When you touch your computer which may have undischarged electricity in it, you get a shock.
There are other factors that can cause ESD such as tribocharging and electrostatic induction. Tribocharging is best envisioned by the old trick of rubbing a balloon against your hair. Both the balloon and your hair become electrified. It's just a way of describing friction as a source of electrical charges. In electrostatic induction, the charged objects do not even have to be in contact with each other.
Regardless of the way that the ESD is generated, it is easy to understand how destructive it could be in a computer lab or any industrial workplace where an electrical shock could cause damage. Rubber mats, wrist straps, ESD-controlling footgear and other shields can help the situation.
The continual protection offered by anti static, dissipative and conductive ESD flooring systems takes the protection one step further. If you are not sure if your flooring needs to be resistant to electrical conductivity leakage, you can have an anti static ohm reading taken. However, if you have any concern about ESD, then chances are very good that you already know the answer.
This is the answer: You need an anti-static flooring system.
RESPOL flooring is constructed in such a way that static charges are dispersed. RESPOL anti-static systems are manufactured with conductive aggregate additive materials using special particle blending techniques. The result is that the flooring system yields a lifetime of effective service.
RESPOL's seamless epoxy resin flooring systems come in a wide variety of finishes. They are extremely low maintenance as well as easy to clean and exceedingly safe. Beyond these basic bonuses, our anti-static flooring products and solutions can be custom tailored to your specific requirements.
Other features of RESPOL's seamless flooring solutions include strong resistance to heavy traffic, hard wearing protection against aggressive chemicals and solvents, thermal protection, low-slip technology and anti-bacterial components.
Even though anti-static flooring is utilitarian in nature, it is also as colourful as you want it to be, spanning the range of BS4800, RAL or Pantone colours. Between the range of colours and the available finishes, RESPOL antistatic flooring solutions are guaranteed to perform from the ground up. Our customers' expectations are unfailingly exceeded.For further information, please click here to receive a brochure or contact David Clark directly on 01952 740400.
Sports and Leisure Flooring
With more than thirty years in the business, RESPOL has developed a positive track record in the world of specialist indoor and outdoor flooring systems. RESPOL is one of the UK's leading manufacturers and installers of bespoke and innovative flooring systems.
Proper sports and leisure flooring systems go beyond interlocking tiles, matting and low maintenance carpeting. RESPOL develops and manufactures their flooring systems in-house. Among the specialist flooring systems that our experienced and highly trained personnel develop, manufacture, and install are sports and leisure flooring systems.
It is RESPOL's triple factor approach to creating and installing floor systems that puts them ahead of the pack. The triple factor approach is comprised of choosing the right surface preparation, the right material, and the right people to do the job.
These advanced flooring systems are explicitly designed for indoor and outdoor venues such as sports halls, leisure facilities, athletic tracks, and sports courts. There are a couple of factors involved in creating and installing these systems. One is the concept of an athlete-friendly flooring system. The other factor is the ability to meet the demands of being both indoor and outdoor flooring solutions.
First, what does athlete-friendly mean? This refers to the way that the polyurethane sports floor is constructed to be low-slip, wear resistant, seamless, easy to clean and cushioned to combat athletic fatigue.
Whether or not the sports floors we install are under a roof, a dome or outdoors, the all weather flooring systems can be modified to deal with the climate conditions. Sports hall or sports field, RESPOL can handle the challenge.
RESPOL's complete involvement in the production and installation of advanced flooring systems such as a leisure and sports floor system is more than using our knowledge garnered through the millions of square metres of flooring solutions we have developed and installed, through more than thirty years of experience and through the training and ever expanding skill set of our personnel.
A major component of our success is our involvement with our clients even as early as the preplanning stage. Our nationwide service means that we can consult with you regarding your needs for no charge and recommend the ideal sports & leisure flooring systems.
RESPOL offers a complete nationwide service from preparation to installation with single source uncomplicated warranties, free-of-charge no obligation survey and recommendations plus a vast range of finishes and colours to choose from, including the complete BS4800, RAL and Pantone systems.
From leisure centres to squash courts to gyms to line marking for a range of sports, to anything in between, we have a great deal of experience designing and installing flooring solutions for the sports and leisure sector. RESPOL sports flooring is more than rubber flooring. It is whatever you want and need it to be.
One reason that 80% of RESPOL's business comes from repeat customers is that we have the ability to custom create any flooring system that the customer needs. Our experience and expertise is such that we know what components will provide the desired results.For further information, please click here to receive a brochure or contact David Clark directly on 01952 740400.
Concrete Flooring Contractors
As well as being the leading epoxy resin flooring contractors, RESPOL is an industrial concrete flooring service. Our concrete industrial flooring contractors are highly trained in the installation of sealed concrete floors.
The specialised way that we work with concrete involves standard and heavy-duty reforming expansion joint detail and standard curve detail, heavy-duty bund area treatments, and standard toeing out procedures for screed systems. Let's talk about screed. When we discuss floor screed and concrete we're talking about applying a resin coating to a concrete base.
However, if you want industrial concrete flooring service, we can do that right up to the hand trowelled finish. This feature really plays into our excellent ability to combine various flooring finishings within the same environment. There are concrete industrial floors that are adequate for the health & safety required in that department and there are industrial concrete floors that beg to be refinished in a more durable coating.
RESPOL offers 30 years of experience in the field of industrial flooring solutions. We know floors from the ground up. The evidence of our dedication and support and service can be seen in the fact that we have long-term business relationships with many of our satisfied customers.
We provide an extensive range of industrial flooring services including the most advanced seamless epoxy and polymer surface coating systems available. Our professional workforce is skilled in sealed concrete floors and dust proofing as well as finding the right flooring system to meet your requirements whether that is anti-bacterial flooring, low-slip flooring, chemical resistant flooring or flooring designed to withstand long-term heavy traffic.
With a complete industrial flooring service from design through to installation, it's no surprise that 80% of our business comes from repeat customers. We know floors and we know the demands of the commercial and industrial environments across the nation. If you want concreting or repairs and upgrades to existing concrete installations, RESPOL can consult and advise on the possibilities available.
We take our responsibility to health and safety regulations seriously and we provide flooring systems that meet these stringent conditions. This is pretty much part of the basic package whether you are looking for an off the shelf solution or a custom designed and colour matched solution. We have developed and continue to develop an all-encompassing range of flooring systems that are specifically fashioned to meet health and safety requirements.
These requirements include internal and external floor conditions for wet or oily conditions, as well as luminous markings, fire escape routes, demarcation lines and gangway markings for pedestrians and forklift aisles. RESPOL can also supply custom flooring systems with safety floor wording and bespoke markings.
All flooring systems originate from our single source corporate business. RESPOL is a single source supplier and installation company. This means that we offer a single source uncomplicated warranty. We offer a complete nationwide service from preparation to installation, with free of charge and no-obligation survey and recommendations.For further information, please click here to receive a brochure or contact David Clark directly on 01952 740400.

Welcome to Indiana!
By molini on Oct 31, 2007
In 2005 Sun formally announced the open sourcing of Solaris. In May of this year, the community announced a new OpenSolaris project code named -- Project Indiana -- to build a binary distribution of OpenSolaris.
Today, the OpenSolaris community has announced that collectively, we've reached the first major milestone with Project Indiana by releasing a preview of the binary distribution of OpenSolaris. These bits will carry the name OpenSolaris(TM) Developer Preview.
By making a binary distribution of OpenSolaris, the community is giving developers what they want and expect from OpenSolaris.
Why is this important? This is about re-engineering the way OpenSolaris technology is brought to the Free and Open Source community. It is about making it more accessible to students, developers and startups. The first official release of the distribution, planned for the first half of CY08, will be aggressively targeting this mass adoption. The Developer Preview release is intended for anyone who wishes to help develop and test the distribution.
The OpenSolaris Developer Preview distribution consists of a "Slim Install" Live CD, (only available for x86 platforms at the moment, SPARC to come soon). The Live CD includes a basic core operating system, GNOME desktop environment and a new graphical installer, with the option to install an the operating system from the Live CD. After the installation, additional packages can be downloaded by using the new Image Packaging System (IPS).

AUSTIN (January 14, 2013)—Texas House Appropriations Committee Chairman Jim Pitts, the chamber's chief budget writer, said Monday the first budget bill will leave $5.5 billion in unspent projected revenue on the table.
Pitts said Monday the $89.1 billion budget draft covers enrollment growth in public schools, but he made no mention of restoring the $5.4 billion that lawmakers cut from classrooms in 2011.
The bill also gives no money to the state's embattled $3 billion cancer-fighting agency that is currently under criminal investigation.
Pitts said the bill will be filed Tuesday.
The Texas Senate was expected to unveil its budget bill later Monday.

Don't pay for piracy apps. Dave is a leech to the mac software community, greedily making a profit off of a system that's purpose is to let people have things for free.
The only reason you would pay for this is if you didn't know any better. Use acqlite, it's back in town, and does everything this app does :)
@apple098 : If you can give me a native, universal, P2P Mac app, then I'll hug you. I've been looking for one ever since I got my first Mac back in 2006.
How come every positive comment on this app has bad ratings? Someone is devoting her or his life to negative thoughts. I will give it a try and I will try my best to like it. Over 1300 users can't be that wrong.
The fact that uploads are no longer listed is a major problem with this version. Why pay for an application that doesnt list them when you can get other that do for free. Are they needed? YES they are. It's useful. When such a simple thing isnt there, it makes me feel this is broken.
It is still unstable, it still drops connection and it still crashes /hangs on quit. All things that should been fixed long ago.
ernesto_a10: it is shareware agreed, but when the dev lured people in with promises of "free updates for life" and then tries to charge $24 to upgrade from v1 to v2, then he is a LIAR.
The icon ok, but the nagware has gottten a whole lot worse.
Honestly, there are free apps that do the same thing and better. Why pay for this garbage?
Version 2 seems like a downgrade.
- the preview function no longer works
- uploads are no longer listed
- still as unstable as ever, connection drops after 5 minutes, hangs on quit
- more obtrusive "buy now!!!!11!!" dialog and more limitations
- uglier icon
And to add insult to injury he's charging another $24 to version 1 owners, minimum.
It does look pretty though....
I've been using it for years, and I agree that it used to be unstable, especially back in early 2005. That said I haven't had stability problems for awhile, despite multiple OS upgrades and a transition to Intel. It's got a great interface and is probably the best P2P client I've ever used on either Win or Mac.
Well I paid for it but that doesn't guarantee a faultless app.
Still crashes quite frequently.
Maybe a future update will fix this, but until then I've removed it from my hard drive.

I've a ps3 since 2week, i've start with your media server, and i don't want to try anotherone !!! great job, it's very usefull...
But some ideas for futur version :
1- it's will be very usefull to change the sorting option from the ps3 ( alphabetical or newer) because with big folder tree it's not easy to find what i need, but the most of the time, sorting by newer files is very good...
2- Possibility to refresh folder from the ps3 without to restart the server will be usefull too.
3-maybe the possibility to rename shared folder can be a fine option
4-is there a solution for the server to share a folder tree as a single file list. This point can be usefull to make a full slide of pictures. because if picture are order by year and by event and ... you can't slide it all, it's only possible to make one slideshow by one folder.
hope this point can add some ideas to your mind ;o)
great thanks for a great job and usefull software...

Monroe County and owners of a former Brodheadsville magisterial district justice office have settled their 2010 rental dispute.
The county terminated the lease with W/S Partners for a site behind CVS Pharmacy and moved former Magisterial District Judge Debbie York to a new location, due to mold and other water damage, county Solicitor John Dunn said.
"The landlord, to be kind, was less than responsive to all the problems we encountered," Dunn said at Wednesday's Monroe County commissioners' meeting. "It was a repetitive maintenance issue, and we had to keep sending our people out."
The county also withheld $35,000 in rent due for the remainder of the lease. W/S agreed, following extensive negotiations, to accept a final $22,500 payment.
"We filed suit to collect the rent," said W/S lawyer Kevin Fogerty. "We worked out the numbers and reached agreement."
The county argued it had to send out county workers to fix problems the landlord should have handled. That meant the county repair workers were pulled away from normal duties.
"We factored in what it cost us in terms of man hours," Dunn said.
The commissioners approved the settlement Wednesday.

'martini' you must not be aware of the program winamp for those 'windows users.' Winamp has been released for mac, but only in an alpha version. With Winamp 5.57 for windows, comes their visualizer MilkDrop2. The way theirs works is authors create presets, basically each preset being a different visualizer. While a user is watching, their Preset's library is being constantly updated. Anybody can make these presets and it can be done right in the visualizer screen (equivalent to a windows itunes screen with Ctrl-F). This does require you to understand a MINIMAL amount of coding, but is mostly math (manipulation of a sign curve).
I have worked a lot with winamp's preset editor and love it. I feel as though the only reason i'm limited in the program is because there is minimal literature on the web about 'how-to.' I feel as though i'd expect a mac program, or plug-in in this case, to not have that problem.
I greatly look froward to getting on a mac and trying out ivisualise.
It works in iTuens 7, but sometimes, in the beComposed mode, the disk does not change album art although it is playing another album in shuffle mode.
It works with iTunes 7. No problems here.
i was really expecting a blast of this, but it doesn't work on iTunes 7! at least i can't find the menu's the manual says, and i remeber that it would have probally worked on all the previous versions...
Although I'm the kind of guy that usually throws out every single screensaver as soon as I install OSX and uses a plain grey full color desktop this visualizer fits snugly into the "Shit I keep around to awe and humble windows users." along with the Fenetres Volantes screensaver. Download this and the BeComposed plug to see what I mean.

Target Richard Sherman at Your Own Risk
Shutdown cornerbacks like Seattle's Richard Sherman don't usually have high interception totals because quarterbacks are reluctant to challenge them.
But Sherman has found a simple solution to this problem: intercept a crazy-high percentage of passes thrown his way. Despite being targeted by quarterbacks just 58 times in the regular season, Sherman picked off an NFL-leading eight passes. That rate of a pick on 13.8% of targets is 4.4 percentage points better than the next highest-rated corner, Logan Ryan of the Patriots. It's more than double the rate of third-ranked Brandon Boykin (Philadelphia Eagles).
So excuse Colin Kaepernick if he doesn't dare look in Sherman's direction during Sunday's NFC Championship game between the visiting San Francisco 49ers and the Seahawks (6:30, Fox). Being targeted 28 less times couldn't stop Sherman from matching his 2012 interception total. According to ProFootballFocus, Sherman in 2013 was thrown at just once every 9.5 pass plays, even less frequently than second-ranked Darrelle Revis (once every 8.8 passes).
But if their 2013 history is any indication, perhaps Kaepernick and the 49ers won't follow Drew Brees's example from last week and ignore the man Sherman covers (only one of New Orleans's 43 passes targeted Sherman). In their most recent meeting, the 49ers actually completed two of three passes to Sherman's assigned receiver for 31 yards and no picks in a 19-17 victory. But in the earlier meeting in Seattle, Kaepernick targeted Sherman six times (two completions) with one pass resulting in a Sherman interception that set up a score in the Seahawks' 29-3 victory.
Here are the regular-season leaders among cornerbacks in interceptions per target (times thrown at), minimum 25% of team snaps. Source: ProFootballFocus.com

Five days after a sheriff's deputy found her in the woods with knife wounds on her neck and wrist, a 9-month-old baby girl was released from a hospital and into protective custody.
The Camden County Sheriff's Office announced the baby's release Wednesday morning as part of an ongoing case involving the baby and her mother that began Friday night. Bradie R. Simpson, 39, of Camdenton remains hospitalized. Capt. Kelly Luttrell of the Camden County Sheriff's Office stated Wednesday that her condition has been upgraded from "critical" to "good."
Simpson is charged with first degree assault and armed criminal action after deputies found her holding her daughter in the woods near her home on Dry Ridge Road. A deputy took what Det. John R. Stephens described in his official probable cause statement as an "unresponsive" baby from Simpson's arms. The 9-month-old had lacerations that required immediate surgery.
Deputies responded to Simpson's home at 12:26 a.m. on Saturday when her adult son reported Simpson and the baby missing. The man found blood and a knife in Simpson's bedroom. Deputies searched the woods and the gravel road near the home and found Simpson and the baby seated near a tree at approximately 4:00 a.m.
Simpson also had a knife laceration on her neck and needed "emergency life-saving treatment." She remains hospitalized and will be guarded by sheriff's deputies until she is fit to leave the hospital.

DUBLIN -- Lindsay Rood had a goal and an assist, and the Monte Vista High girls soccer team completed an unbeaten season and staked its claim to a national championship with a 2-1 win over rival San Ramon Valley on Saturday night in the North Coast Section Division I title match.
Monte Vista (23-0-2), which matched the Wolves' record total of seven NCS titles, is expected to remain No. 1 in the Student Sports' Winter FAB 50 National Rankings.
"It feels pretty great," Rood said. "We've worked so hard as a team all year. It feels great to do it for each other."
The Mustangs' storybook finish hung in the balance in an intense second half at Dublin High. The Wolves (17-2-7) rallied to tie it 1-1 on Morgan McGarry's goal in the 54th minute -- the only goal Monte Vista had allowed in the playoffs.
But Monte Vista responded with the winner by Rood in the 67th minute, assisted by impressive freshman midfielder Nicole Rivas.
"We were made to work for it, and that's because San Ramon is a really good, class outfit," Monte Vista coach Brett LeQuesne said. "We had to be just as a classy and just as good and just as energetic as they were, and we did."
With two of the nation's best programs meeting, it figured it would take a first-class effort by the winning team.
Monte Vista sophomore Amanda Outcalt, a constant threat up front, broke the scoreless draw in the 17th minute with a brilliant shot into the corner from 19 yards out, leaving Wolves goalkeeper Zoey Bauman no chance. Rood had the assist.
"I feel like against San Ramon it comes down to who wants it most, and I feel like this game we wanted it more," Rood said.
The Wolves were competing in the Division I final for the ninth consecutive year, and the third straight final against the Mustangs.
San Ramon Valley, the defending Division I champion, turned it up a notch in the second half, including a near-miss by Annie Lowe from the right on a strong build-up.
"I think both teams played well," San Ramon Valley coach Mark Jones said. "We equalized which we were happy to do. We were happy, obviously. I think we got the run of play in the second half and had more opportunities, but couldn't do anything with it. They got a nice goal, and we couldn't find it."
The Mustangs, with just five seniors, has every reason to expect similar success next season.
Monte Vista attacker Mallory Hromatko, the team's "Energizer Bunny," according to LeQuesne, had a typically strong match, along with Rivas off the bench. Midfielders Maddie Gibson and Arianna Zamora were also excellent.
San Ramon Valley, the No. 2 seed, beat Berkeley in a penalty kick shootout in a thrilling semifinal after a 2-2 draw in the rain. Monte Vista beat upstart College Park 1-0.
The Wolves and Mustangs played to back-to-back ties this season before Monte Vista prevailed in their past two meetings. San Ramon Valley beat Monte Vista 1-0 in the 2013 final to finish unbeaten.

The First Amendment to the Constitution declares clearly that the right to free speech cannot be abridged.
And yet it is, if you consider that it's against the law to yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater when there isn't one, or to lie maliciously about people whether talking (slander) or writing (libel). Treason would be another legal abridgement.
All this is well established in judicial interpretation of the First Amendment. Go figure. It's not what the words strictly say.
There remains plenty of gray area, of course, such as whether the First Amendment truly covers advertising for elections, along with various classes of obscenities and any number of issues that lead to conservatives or liberals telling us they are "all for free speech and all that ...," except for whatever exercise of the right is sticking in their craw at the moment.
Fact is, we interpreted from the strict language to arrive at the intent of the founders in phrasing the First Amendment as they did. Our abridgements to the amendment can land you and me in plenty of hot water in the courts. These are no abstractions.
So it's interesting that at least some ardent defenders of the Second Amendment somehow think that what applies to the First doesn't hold with the Second.
After all, strictly interpreted, my freedom of speech should permit me all kinds of verbal mischief.
And the First doesn't even include suggestive opening clauses like "A well regulated militia being necessary ..." as if the intent were not that everyone gets whatever firepower they so desire, but that this was borne out of a need for part-time soldiers (note Amendment III) who are organized in some fashion that is considered "well regulated" - which, ahem, is a government function.
It doesn't say "well organized." It says "regulated." Government often isn't very organized, but by definition it exists always to ... regulate.
I'm not seeing any language that justifies the right to domestic terrorism raised by some observers in their interpretation of the Second Amendment. Notwithstanding Jefferson's quote about a little rebellion now and then, today's Supreme Court seems to see this the same way, thankfully.
So I'm not likely to see a drone or Panzer locked and loaded next door anytime soon.
Naturally, the battles over the amendments come in the margins. That currently means over background checks, cassault weapons and possibly semi-automatic ones.
I'm not sure this regulation effort will make us safer, but business sure is booming for gun dealers.

Base Creation Help
Need some help building your base? Someone to point out a weakness? Post a screenshot and get some constructive criticism!
To Post A Screenshot…
Using Windows XP
1. Press Print Screen on your keyboard.
2. Go to paint or a image editing software, and paste.
3. Please crop only the part of your base/make it smaller, so it's easier to see the whole base and the defense of it.
4. Save it.
5. Go to Imgur (image uploading website) or the one you use.
6. Get the direct link, put ! at both ends of link and then post it.
7. If you have a yard planner, take a screenshot of the defense if you want to help make it easier to comment.
Using Mac:
1.Go into full screen mode.
2.Then press Command+Shift+3.
3.The screenshot will appear on the desktop.
4.Then you should go to photobucket or some other image hosting site and upload it from there, then paste the link into the forum, following the formatting instructions.
5. Repeat with yard planner if possible.
Why Zoom Out When Taking Screenies?
It's a lot easier to see the overall defence of the base when you can see it in one screen, instead of say 3 images, or major scrolling required.
I'll start. This was my base when I was still in newbie protection. If you look at my base now, it is a lot better.

Since we last checked in with Luka Bloom, he has moved from the hustle bustle of Dublin to the craggy coastline of Co. Clare. He has been steadily touring around the globe, favoring Europe and Australia in recent years.
Fans in America might be feeling neglected, which is why he is coming to our shores in the coming weeks in support of his excellent new album, "Head and Heart."
"The making of 'Head and Heart' was as good a time as I've ever had in a studio," Bloom says. "Some of the songs were recorded at home; some in Brian Masterson's home. But six of them were recorded in Wicklow with the Phil Ware trio, featuring Phil Ware on piano, Dave Redmond on double bass and Kevin Brady on drums."
The trio coaxes a jazzy vibe from the folk troubadour which he credits to the improvisation of the sessions. Bloom says many of the songs were done on the first take to keep things fresh and immediate.
"The sessions were done in two four-hour sessions. It was the right approach because it makes it fresh. There's a little bit of an edge. We're not quite sure what comes next. If I rehearsed more, this could have been more polished and that would have ruined the vibe," Bloom says.
Not since 2001's "Keeper of the Flame" has Bloom presented an album of other artists' songs, and this collection is just as eclectic. A rabid Bob Dylan fan, you would expect a covers album to include something like "Every Grain of Sand."
Bloom throws a curveball by including "Danny Boy" and "My Wild Irish Rose" on "Head and Heart" as well. You might think, as I had, that the world doesn't need another version of the song. For Bloom, that was the point.
"I feel those songs are so beautiful, but they have been abused in many ways," he says. "I used to sing 'Danny Boy' in the seventies. It was the toughest song to include on the album because it has been murdered by so many people.
"I'm so bored with people using this tragic song from the First World War with all the loss and pain and completely miss the point to show off their vocal talent. It's not about my voice or pulling on populist heartstrings. It is without fuss telling the story."
Bloom – given name Kevin Barry Moore, kid brother of Christy Moore – came from the land of St. Brigid in Co. Kildare. It was in a musical family he was brought up, and his journey into song began rooted in traditional music and the all-important song, according to his biography.
He moved from Ireland, first to Holland and then to Washington, D.C. and New York City, and his song changed somewhat to a new sound for the Irish emigrant as the sense of displacement in his lyrics mingled with a positive delight to be exploring the world outside the boundaries of Ireland.
He scored a hit with a folk cover of LL Cool J's "I Need Love," which was the beginning of a career steeped in bringing a decidedly Irish feel to the inspiration he took from American sounds and songwriters.
Even his stage name says it all. Luka comes from Suzanne Vega's song of the same name, and Bloom is of course Joyce's great Dubliner from "Ulysses."
Bloom also published his first book, "Homeplace," which blends the photographs he has taken on his many tours with handwritten lyrics or unpublished poems.
"After a period of years, I began to take photographs, mainly for myself, so that I can remember where I was. Often when you are on tour scenery becomes a bit of a blur," he says.
"Many of the photos I took and I enjoyed the most were in my own country. I began to notice there was a connection between the photos I was taking and the lyrics I had been writing," Bloom says.
"Paula Nolan is a friend of mine who helped me put the poems and photos together. It was a really enjoyable project."
Bloom is still finalizing a book deal here for "Homeplace." He says the books are too heavy to make the trip to the U.S. with him, so fans are encouraged to go on lukabloom.com to order a copy.
While you're there, you can check out his tour dates which include a pair of shows in lower Manhattan's City Winery (155 Varick Street) on May 18 and 19.
I spoke with Bloom on the recording of the new album and what has taken him so long to come back to America. Here's how it went.
You've been away from America for a number of years. What was behind your decision to stay away?
It's been four and a half years, the longest I've been away since 1987. I decided I needed to take a break from the U.S. I had come every year for 27 years and I had the feeling on being on a bit of a treadmill.
For many years, going to America was always special and urgent. The last couple of times I went it got into a routine, and I think routines can be dangerous. So, I explored places like Australia and Switzerland, which I loved. Then I spent a lot of time moving to the west of Ireland.
I'm in Co. Clare now, which is technically 100 miles closer to America from where I was (laughter).

Somerset Community College's Dual Credit program will benefit students by providing a seamless pathway to postsecondary education while reducing student expense and time to credential attainment: with the ultimate purpose, completion of a postsecondary credential.
Somerset Community College offers dual credit in area high schools as well as in area technology centers. The high schools offer general education courses that are a pathway to an Associate in Arts or an Associate in Science. We are presently offering Introductory Sociology, College Algebra, College Algebra Workshop, History of the US through 1865, History of the US Since 1865, Introduction to Biology, Ancient Through Medieval Art History, Renaissance Through Modern Art History and Elementary Spanish I. The courses offered are based on the availability of instructors. The area technology centers offer a variety of courses including Office Procedures, Visual Communication, Workplace Principles, Human Growth and Development, Blueprint Reading Construction, Medicaid Nurse Aide and many others based on the availability of instructors.
Somerset Community College (SCC) has worked with local schools in our service area for over 15 years. Over those 15 years, the dual credit program has grown into a partnership with 17 area technology centers and 7 high schools. The College offers dual credit courses and articulates other courses. These courses are taught at an area high school or area technology center by faculty who are credentialed and qualified to teach college-level courses. SCC waives the tuition for each of the courses, charging only a mandated service charge per semester. High School students enrolled in our dual credit/dual enrollment program also have the opportunity to enroll in high school and college at the same time taking online or on-campus courses at a discounted tuition rate.
Students in Pulaski, Laurel and Clay counties are also eligible to participate in the SEEK program which allows high school juniors and seniors to pursue post-secondary educational opportunities in technical programs. A SEEK student may enroll in up to a maximum of 9 credit hours of coursework per semester as approved by the School Counselor and receive a 100% Dual Credit Tuition Waiver. This program includes the following program areas of study: Allied Health Sciences, Computer Aided Drafting, Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education, Criminal Justice, Business Administration, Information Technology, Visual Communications, Welding, Automotive Technology, Auto Body Repair, Construction Technology, HVAC, Masonry, CAD, and Electrical Technology. A student must enroll in one course from one of these areas and may then take one or two general education courses. The student is responsible for the purchase of textbooks. (Note: A student must maintain enrollment in the technical (SEEK) qualified course in order to remain eligible for the tuition waiver; otherwise the student is responsible for the tuition expenses for all coursework).
High School juniors and seniors are eligible to complete an application and enroll in college level courses with appropriate assessment and placement scores. The student must have appropriate ACT scores in Writing (18 or above), Math (19 or above) and Reading (20 or above) or equivalent scores on the COMPASS. Somerset Community College offers some college level courses with the local high schools (dual credit) but students are eligible to take classes at SCC campuses or centers. High school students are eligible for a 50% tuition waiver. The student is responsible for the purchase of textbooks or access codes needed for the class. All students must submit an application, test scores and a letter of good standing from their respective high school counselor/ principal.

A Minnesota woman says she feels like she won the lottery when a fellow Argentinian was named the new pope.
Celina Martina, a native of Argentina, has lived in St. Paul for the last 15 years. She tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press she could see the newly elected Pope Francis "being the priest of my church."
Martina says the new pope, who was Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, knows the customs and traditions that she had growing up.
She says the selection of a pope from Latin America has strengthened her connection to the Catholic Church, even though she does not agree with some teachings such as its opposition to gay marriage.
Martina says "Any Spanish-speaking, Latin American is feeling overwhelmed and happy today."

Looking for Next Big Thing? British Firm Hopes to Help
What's the next big thing? TekCapital, a small, Oxford-based start-up, says it's offering a short cut to find it.
The company has developed a search engine to mine intellectual property from the world's best universities and research institutes. It employs seven full-time staff and keeps a scientific board of 24 external, paid consultants to go through academic research for corporate clients and flag discoveries in their line of business.
It's one of a parade of small tech companies planning to raise funds on the London Stock Exchange's venture exchange. Clifford Gross, the company's chief executive, said it's looking to raise about £3 million($4.9 million) in a listing this month.
TekCapital is part of a small but vibrant sector of companies in Britain that tries to commercialize university discoveries: They have traditionally selected a technology from university research, built a company around it, financed it, and then listed it, or sold the company. The biggest players in the field include IP Group PLC, Imperial Innovations Group PLC and NetScientific PLC, which focuses on bio-medical and healthcare technologies.
TekCapital's approach is different. It doesn't aim to build a company around new research. Instead, it searches through the latest innovations and tries to pair that up with companies in the market for new technology. TekCapital narrows its gaze to what it says is a group of institutions responsible for 80% of the world's published peer-reviewed scientific research–about 3,300 institutions.
"That's basically the university idea factory across 160 countries," Mr. Gross said. "Right now these 3,300 institutions produce about 100,000 patent applications a year."
Here's how TekCapital says it can help companies: A smartphone maker, let's say, is in the market for the latest data-encryption technology for a new line of devices. Where to start? A Google search for "data encryption technologies available for license" produced some 14 million hits. TekCapital's refined search get 112. Those then get reviewed by the company's scientific board before being presented to a client.
Founded in June 2012, TekCapital spent a year refining its search engine and putting together its technical and management teams. Mr. Gross declines to disclose clients.
"They lift up their kimono and tell us what they need," he says. "The only thing they have in common is that they are desperately hungry for external innovation."

I resonated with this presentation by Brene' Browne. I have and still do wrestle with believing that God is bigger than some of my problems and challenges I know God's word is very clear that God is sovereign and in complete control. But, when I am facing real big, scary life issues, I can struggle with being patient, trusting God fully, trying to wrestle control away from him, and being content during these times of difficulty. I can struggle seeing and understanding that even in these trials God has a plan; a great and perfect plan to teach me, grow me, care for me, provide for me, protect me, and give me a future with his love, peace, hope, and joy.
"This is God's Word on the subject: "As soon as Babylon's seventy years are up and not a day before, I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for." (Jeremiah 29:10-11 The Message)

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo (KKCO) It's been around as long as recorded history and is a sacred tradition. They aren't there for recognition or to put on a show for the public. It's something so steeped in history and valor, many of us just can't understand what it truly means to be an Honor Guard. "No matter how many times I hear it, we're honoring our departed comrade, and we lost another comrade," says Bob Henderson, Commander of the Grand Valley Combined Honor Guard.
"The biggest thing that gets to me most of the time is when taps goes off, well you know, that's the last thing you're going to hear," says Art Edwards, Western Slope Assistant State Captain with the Patriot Guard Riders.
The U.S. military Honor Guard started in the Revolutionary War.
"We take pride in what we do," says Henderson. Henderson
has done roughly 1,300 military funerals. "It's people getting together from all walks of life and we all have one thing in common, and that's the military." The Honor Guard are all volunteers. "All of our members of the Honor Guard are so proud to be in the Honor Guard, and they have one reason for it, and that's to provide honors," continues Henderson. And they show up, even if no one else does. "There's times that we give the honors to nobody else here but us; they may not have any family whatsoever, but we do come out and provide honors to these individuals."
"It affects everybody a little bit different. There are times when you shed a tear for them every now and then," says Edwards, who has done 810 services. "We're here to show our respect to those that have fallen, and to let the families know that there are still people that care for them," he says. Vietnam vets may have not been welcomed home then, but they will now. "They didn't get a welcome home, and that's why we're doing this, and just like this young man here. We don't know whether he had a good welcome home or not, but he knew that when he went home he did," explains Edwards.
"I've done two for family since I've come on the Honor Guard within two months of each other, and those were pretty rough times," says Specialist Mike Rathbone with the Colorado Army National Guard Honor Guard. Rathbone has done nearly 200 services. "You just try to stay out of it and show no emotion." There are no sick days. "I get to provide the last military honors for that person, and I think that's a huge respect, and I think everybody in the military should give it one shot," he says.
The job comes with an enormous amount of pressure. "Giving the last respects, because one little mess-up and that's in their mind for the rest of their lives," says Rathbone. But the job also comes with a commitment to excellence. "That's the last memory you have of that person, and I want it to be perfect."
That is the epitome of Duty, Honor, and Country. "Even if I wasn't getting paid, I'd still be out here and still be doing this, because it's the greatest job you could ever have."
And for those who fought, and died for our freedom; their final welcome home deserves nothing less.
KKCO would like to thank the U.S. Army National Guard Honor Guard, Grand Valley Combined Honor Guard, and Patriot Guard Riders for allowing us to join them for a service. We'd also like to thank the family as well and offer our condolences.
The Honor Guard does accept donations and is always looking for new members. Hopefully now next time you see a military service, you understand it's true meaning.
For more information on the Honor Guard, or to request them for a service, call (970) 234-0980. All members of the Grand Valley Combined Honor Guard are volunteers and veterans of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, or Coast Guard.
Bill Davis, a Grand Junction resident and veteran, also joins the Grand Valley Combined Honor Guard, U.S. Army National Guard Honor Guard, and Patriot Guard Riders for military funerals with the Veteran's Memorial Bell. Davis, a U.S. Army and Navy veteran, has found a way to remember his fellow veterans and their families for their sacrifices on behalf of the United States of America. Davis tolls a 1,100 pound bell at Veteran's committal services and other veteran's events; a practice that has become his avocation. Davis does this upon request of a deceased veteran's family, without reward or compensation, and asks only that you think of our veterans, both living and dead, who answered their country's call.
There is no cost for the Bell Ceremony. However, donations are accepted. Donations may be made through any Vectra Bank, or...

Young TV fans who have watched Barbara Walters swap casual gossip and jokes with her pals on "The View" might not be aware of all the glass ceilings she smashed during a career that spanned more than 50 years. But for the scores of veteran female reporters she influenced and many of the newsmakers she interviewed, Walters is revered as the most important woman in the history of broadcast journalism.
"She's amazing," KGO-TV's Cheryl Jennings says of Walters, who at 84, will retire Friday. "In my world, she is and always will be a rock star."
Jennings' raves are echoed by Bay Area television peers, who use words such as "icon," "institution" and "legend" to describe Walters.
Says KNTV's Jessica Aguirre: "She arrived at a time when the thinking in this business was that the man is the king of the desk and that the woman is more or less a sidekick. Thankfully, that doesn't exist anymore -- and she helped to change it."
Indeed, Walters has been a television fixture for so long that it's easy to forget that her early success and respect was arduously earned. She was the first woman to co-host NBC's "Today" show, in 1962, and the first woman to co-anchor an evening newscast, in 1976, with ABC's Harry Reasoner, who was famously resentful of the arrangement.
Later came her namesake specials that fueled Walters' reputation as a versatile interviewer of everyone from heads of state to Hollywood stars. She went on to become the first female co-host of a prime-time news magazine -- "20/20" -- and in 1997, Walters conquered daytime television with "The View," a talk show that shook up the genre with its spicy blend of politics, pop culture and opinion.
All of that comes to an end Friday as Walters' daily on-air work concludes with a farewell party on "The View." A two-hour retrospective of her life and career is scheduled that night on ABC.
She will leave behind legions of admirers. Belva Davis, herself a TV news pioneer, recalls being in Cuba in 1977 when Fidel Castro was allowing reporters rare access. Walters was there too, along with a boat, helicopter, producers, a cameraman and a makeup artist.
"She was fulfilling all of my dreams of what it would be like to make it to the top," Davis says. "She set a high standard for what I thought wealth and fame would bring in the broadcast business."
Diane Dwyer, a veteran of 24 years with KTVU and KNTV, remembers gleaning a lesson from Walters' interviewing prowess. After conducting an on-air chat with then-Vice President Al Gore that went poorly, Dwyer sought out an article in which Walters detailed her techniques.
"She talked about how she researches her subjects like crazy and tries to find one thing about that person no one knows," Dwyer recalls. "She said, start with that and go from there."
Shortly afterward, Dwyer put that advice to use during an interview with then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, for which she came armed with knowledge about his lifelong love of cowboy boots.
"It changed the dynamic," Dwyer says. "It made a huge difference."
Walters, of course, was famous for doggedly pursuing the major interview. Once she landed the big "get," she had a flair for coaxing her subjects to answer revealing questions.
"I always marveled at her ability to home in on and connect with an emotion that gave you real insight into the subject, whether that be sadness, anger or joy," Davis says. "She kept digging until she struck a nerve."
Aguirre recalls Walters being at the top of her game during her famous 1999 interview of Monica Lewinsky that was seen by 74 million Americans.
"That was so gripping, and so poignant in a way," Aguirre says. "I remember her asking Monica, 'What will you tell your children?' I thought that was such a great question -- and one I don't think a man would ask."
She scored another exclusive on Sunday, an interview with Shelley Sterling, wife of embattled Los Angeles Clippers' owner Donald Sterling.
Aside from all of Walters' firsts, her many scoops, and her talent for personal reinvention, Aguirre thinks that a significant aspect of the icon's legacy is her durability.
"I don't think you'd have a Diane Sawyer or a Cokie Roberts if Barbara hadn't proven that you can make valuable contributions late into your career," she says. "It has been incredibly inspiring to see her, at 84, still have a meaningful presence in a business that historically has cherished youth, especially among its women."
Walters, of course, has had her detractors. Some think her rise represented the fall of respectable television journalism and fueled the blurring of news and entertainment.
Jennings curtly dismisses the critics.
"I don't know if it's jealousy, or resentment, or something else that makes some people want to slam someone so successful," she says. "The bottom line is that people kept watching, didn't they?"

|Low-Sugar and Whole Wheat Garden Harvest Cake
Labor Day signifies the impending arrival of fall and harvest time, and this Garden Harvest Cake is a great way to celebrate the bounty of the season. This may be the first time I've gotten a recipe from Twitter, but when Addie sent out a link saying it was the most searched for recipe in the Austin American Statesman recipe database, I had to take a look. When I saw this recipe for a cake with zucchini, carrots, and apple, I thought it would be fun to make a low-sugar and whole wheat version. I didn't have the right size pan, so mine turned out a bit flat, but otherwise I loved this recipe, especially the way you see flecks of carrot in the finished cake. Some people might consider this more of a bread than a cake, but the apple and carrot do make it sweeter than most zucchini bread. I ate my cake mainly for breakfast, celebrating the fall weather and enjoying the harvest.
Add the grated apple, grated carrot, grated zucchini, and chopped pecans to the flour mixture.
Then toss with a large spoon so all the ingredients are well-coated with flour.
Pour into a loaf pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray or oil. (Here's where you can see that I needed an 8 x 4 inch pan, but only had a 9 x 5 inch pan!)
Low-Sugar and Whole Wheat Garden Harvest Cake with Zucchini, Apple, and Carrot
(Makes one loaf, recipe adapted from Garden Harvest Cake by Jennifer Dunklee for the Austin American Spokesman.)
1 cup white whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
3/4 cup Stevia in the Raw, Splenda, or other sweetener (or use sugar if you prefer)
2 tsp. ground cinnamon (I used Saigon Cassia cinnamon from The Spice House)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt (I used fine grind sea salt)
1/2 cup peeled and grated Granny Smith apple (1 medium-sized apple)
1/2 cup grated carrot (1 medium carrot)
1/2 cup grated zucchini
1/2 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts, original recipe used 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
non-stick spray or oil for coating loaf pan
Add grated apple, grated carrot, grated zucchini, and chopped pecans to the bowl with the flour mixture. Use the spoon to toss ingredients together until all ingredients are well coated with flour.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Catcher Derek Norris took Jim Johnson off the hook Wednesday afternoon, hammering a three-run home run in the 11th inning to enable the A's to pull out a 7-4 win over Minnesota after the Twins knocked around the A's closer when he tried to end the game in regulation.
It was the second homer in two games for Norris. It was the third rough appearance in five games for Johnson, who retired only one of the five batters he faced and needed Dan Otero to get the last two outs in the ninth.
"Jim's just not getting ahead of the hitters right now," Norris said. "He's falling behind, missing down and up, and then the pitch winds up being over the plate and it gets hit. He'll figure it out. Maybe he just needs to do something unorthodox when he throws his curve or changeup."
Johnson's previous two appearances had been scoreless, if not exactly clean. This time, though, he went to 3-2 on three of the first four hitters, giving up a hit and two walks. Eduardo Escobar's pop fly single brought a run in and sent Johnson out.
"I'm frustrated," said Johnson, who saved a combined 101 games the past two seasons with Baltimore but now has an 18.90 ERA with two losses and a blown save.
"The only thing I know to do is to fight like hell," he said. "It doesn't matter if you've saved 50 or you've saved zero. You've still got to be the same guy."
Johnson hasn't been the same guy the A's thought they were getting when they traded with the Orioles to get him this winter. Not even close. But Otero said he will be the same guy, and soon.
"It's a matter of some minor adjustments for him," Otero said. "I can tell you that we've still got confidence in him. He's still the same guy."
Johnson's troubles have been lessened by the fact that the A's have won three in a row for the first time this season and can complete a series sweep Thursday when Dan Straily pitches against the Twins' Mike Pelfrey.
And Bob Melvin isn't ready to say he's mulling changes in the bullpen.
"Potential options? I really don't know yet," the A's manager said. "I don't know that there are potential options."
Even after two walks and a single loaded the bases, Johnson was given a chance to pitch out of the jam. But that bloop single fell, and Melvin felt he needed to go in a new direction.
"The last thing he wants to do is to walk a couple of guys," Melvin said. "Then you are at the mercy of a bloop hit, like it was. Then I had to go get him. I didn't feel great about it, but I had to do it. We'll keep working to get him right."
Norris has been right since the last two months of last year. He hit .356 in his last 27 games of 2013 with four homers, then led the team in batting (.378) and slugging (.689) in spring training. Now he's the first A's player with multiple homers, not to mention a .417 batting average.
He's the starting catcher against left-handed pitching, but with Wednesday's homer coming off right-hander Jared Burton, Norris is making a play for more starts against right-handers. But mostly he just wants to drive the ball when he gets the chance.
"I was just trying to see the ball over the plate and drive it," he said of his game-winner, which came after a walk to Daric Barton and a single by Alberto Callaspo. "I got under it a little."
Norris said he was just doing his part in picking up for Johnson.
"Any time when someone doesn't come through, we fill in for them," he said. "It's a nice chemistry here."
