Great sleeve! Ignore the magnet problem.This is a great sleeve. Holds my MacBook tightly and looks and feels good. As for the problems with the magnet putting my computer to sleep: just spin the sleeve around so the magnet is on the right hand side of the MacBook. Not that big of a deal. Can't believe people aren't trying that or realizing that.

Absolutely perfect case!I purchased this case from B&H - a photographer's heaven - in NY, and I have to say, it is absolutely perfect. As pleasing to the eye as it is secure, my MacBook fits nice and snug. In the beginning, the only issue I had was getting my Mac out of the case (before breaking it in, of course)! I would recommend this to anyone.

Safe, Snug, Secure and SturdyI dropped my phone and the results were ugly. My 15" macbook pro is worth five phones, so I wanted the best protection I could find and still retain ease of use. Ribbing surrounds all the edges and should withstand gravity's hazards. The feel of the exterior is both comfortable and secure enough to not to slip from your grip. Sliding my computer into this sleeve is like slipping into my favorite running shoes, they just fit right. Getting it out is as simple as grabbing the case by the rib opposite the opening and inverting. When you consider what we pay for a good laptop, this makes sense to protest that investment. And the "magnet issue" has not been a problem since I know left from right.

ICON Sleeve with TENSAERLITE for MB Retina 15"Love this case but I find it hard to take the computer out sometimes. Other than that, it's sturdy and keeps my macbook safe.

PUTS YOUR MACBOOK TO SLEEPI recently purchased a new macbook 12" and of course wanted the most protective and slim case for the machine so bought this case. I love incase and think they have the best aesthetic and design to anything out there but this case just threw me for a loop. Basically when you have your computer on top of the case while using it, if the magnet is lookers left near your charging input it will keep putting your computer to sleep. I thought it was my computer and that I just got a dud. I brought it to the genius bar and had someone look at it and he agreed after we tested it multiple ways that the computer was faulty and I should get a new one. Since it was so new they said I could just come back in and exchange for a new one. Today I was just about to go do that I've realised it's just this damn case. Pretty poor design to make something so pricey and so good looking but without the sure tech function that you would expect from INCASE. So you can just ALWAYS make sure the magnet is on the right side under the computer when in use or just don't put your machine on top of it at all. Shame on you INCASE. I paid a premium and expect the highest standard from you so please fix this for the next guy. xo

Great protection!I've loved this sleeve: it's giving my MacBook the sort of protection I was looking for.

Beautiful case but didn't work for meI was so pleased with the look and feel of the ICON sleeve -- it's one of the most beautiful cases on the market. However, the magnet in the clasp caused some major, seemingly permanent, problems with the sleep/wake sensor in my MacBook Pro. Fortunately, I was able to exchange the computer for a new one. I'd totally give this product another try once the magnet issue has been resolved. It's a gorgeous design. But for now, I'm going back to the classic zippered case.

It deserves this priceAfter I read all the other reviews, I was worried if it's going to be hard to get my laptop out of the case, but I found my own way to get it out and it's super easy to take it out. What I do is I just flip it over and open the magnet opening as widest as it can get and then my laptop just comes out very easily ! So I have no problem at all with taking my laptop out. Plus, I never had magnet problem either. BTW I also love the fabric they used for the inside.....

Perfect Case!I have the macbook pro 15" (mid 2015 edition) and this is the only case I found that was thin/fitted enough for my computer. All other cases were loose and flimsy.
Magnet Issue: this hasn't been a problem for me because I discovered that if you place your macbook on top of the sleeve, but slightly to the opposite side of the magnet, it works fine. The sleeve is definitely wide enough to where you could place your macbook on it, and position it away from the magnet.
Great product!

The best case I ever owned, period.*This* specific case is the case I always dreamed of.
I always thought to myself: "What is the point of taking such a good care of your MacBook if it's going to be scratched by the zip anyways?"
This case is just rock solid, keeps my MacBook safe and I finally feel good when taking it in and out from a sleeve.
I'm a little embarrassed with the comments emphasizing the magnet problem: one shouldn't place their MacBook on the sleeve when using it anyways, as it obstructs the vents and prevents proper cooling. Anyone willing to take good care of their MacBook can do themselves a favor by just placing it on a table when using it.
The only area of improvement would be that the case itself marks easily, and the memory shape foam should be a little more amnesic in my opinion.
However, this should not hold you back from getting it as this simply is the best case money can buy.
By TobyReport offensive review1 of 1 people found this review helpful
Brutally minimal design.So incredibly simple. There's no reason to purchase any other case, sleeve or protection for your laptop. I've dropped it twice during photoshoots and the TENSAERLITE is a life/job-saver. Sleek and chic. Slides in and out with ease. Is actually kind of difficult to understand for anyone but the owner, which feels like added security.

By NathanReport offensive review7 of 23 people found this review helpful
Love the Sleeve until i saw the flaw.When i first saw this sleeve on INCASE's Instagram i thew that would be the one. i have the Matte Black INCASE Hardshell case for my 15" MacBook Pro Retina and loves it. It just has the perfect fit and it just adds protection for my investment. But as we all know MacBooks are really a piece of art and i really hate to hide it inside a Sleeve. So i saw this a i new it was the one i could have my macbook naked and have this sleeve and still have that piece of mind that it will be protected. So i got one on there SALE on thanksgiving special. When i received it i just fell in love. after using it for awhile and BTW my MBPR is my everyday computer from work to home i stated noticing my MB just simply having some Sleep/Wake issue. Using my MP while the sleeve in underneath. But there was no problem since i have Applecare. they took care of it and had it on repair said the magnet had some slight defect. Took them 5 days before i got my MP back and i hate not having a computer that long. so i thought it was all fix. Next day started using it it keep doing the same thing so i had to bring it to Apple, set and appointment and etc lot of time wasted. after the 3rd time and apple associate had ask if he can see my case and he notice right away that it operates on magnet. When he did some few test we both saw that when the MP is on a specific position with the case it shuts it of thing that i close the screen but it was really because the magnet on the Sleeve was triggering it. Ever since then i was so ashamed and just embarased to think that all along it was basically just the case. ever since then i stop using it and never experience it anymore. I hope this get fix on the 2ND version as i really hated all the time i put in driving to an apple store, leaving work early to pick my 2yr daughter up from daycare and bring her with me. I do a lot of reports and presentations and really did not like the experience.

Slim case. Prevents Macbook from waking from sleep.Great design, but the magnet on the case stops the 12" Macbook from waking from sleep. So embarrassing when being used for a presentation. Sometimes it will prevent the Macbook from waking for hours. We just leave it and try to wake the Macbook every 30 minutes or so. It just becomes unusable. So buyers beware. I regret the purchase.
By EddieReport offensive review2 of 6 people found this review helpful
Awesome but..I was waiting for this sleeve and it finally arrived at my local apple store. Overall the built of the sleeve is better than any other sleeve incase has produced. The 2 tone color makes it a fashionable accessory that adds to the sleek-ness of your notebook.
I haven't actually field tested the case but it does seem sturdy and as advertised.
What i don't like about the case is that it makes your notebook wider due to the casing protection. Your giving up space for the durability. It's not a bad thing but not a great thing as well. If your fine w/ losing the few cm of space in your bag this is the perfect case for you.

Classy And Quality MacBook CaseThe product is of very high quality. I wanted a beautiful case for my MacBook Pro Retina 15" and glad I bought this particular case from Incase. It's pricey for a laptop case but worth my MacBook that is worth over $3000. I particularly like the way it holds my Mac securely. Like any pair of new shoes, it was a little tight the first few times I used it but I've devised an easy way of safely sliding my laptop out since I don't see the case expanding. I bought the black color and it looks like something that'll last for many years.

I love the design ofI love the design of the new MacBook. I think it has a lot to offer. As far as more pouerfwl than most PC's, well, that's tough to say. Technically the Core Duo is faster than most of the Intel chips that shipped up until a few months ago. The graphics subsystem, however, is not super fast. But it will drive the laptop display plus one external display.You might want to wait a few more months before purchasing a MacBook. It's still a very new laptop, and manufacturers always run in to a few hardware bugs when they release a new model into the field.I've included links to the ArsTechnica and Walt Mossberg / Wall St Journal MacBook reviews below.Good luck with whatever laptop you pick.

Awesome protection! Magnet problem not an issue for meAfter one clip on my laptop bag's shoulder strap came undone, my bag fell straight to the ground on its corner. I quickly learned that the corners of my bag offered no real protection. The body and screen of my MBP 15" were both damaged. The repair quote was +$1300, so I decided to search for a sleeve to protect my MBP once repaired. I found this amazing product! If you plan to use it in a bag, make sure there's enough room. I originally purchased my bag for a 17" MBP, so the fit is snug but nothing I can't manage. As for the magnet problem you will read about in other reviews, I usually stick the sleeve back into my bag, so I don't rest my MBP on it ever. It can be awkward to remove the computer from the sleeve at first, but I think it's a small trade off for the protection offered.

Great looking case, but hard to take out MBLove the look of this case and how easy it is to slide my MB Pro in. However, taking it out of the case is a totally diff story. It's actually quite hard to take out and I struggle for a bit before being able to remove it from the case. But it may be that I just need to break it in (this is what I read from a different review).

Incase ICON Sleeve MacBook Pro 15"I absolutely love this case! It is so streamlined and protects my MacBook at the same time. The ICON Sleeve is by far the best case out there. I am getting ready to order another one for my son. Buy this sleeve!
By NicholasReport offensive review0 of 1 people found this review helpful
Pretty GoodOverall, I'm satisfied with it. I think it does what it is suppose to do: provide good protection while traveling and looks good.
Here are the thing that do bug me a bit...
- It is really difficult to get the laptop in and out of the sleeve. I guess this is a good thing because it means that the fit is tight and provides overall protection. However, the image makes it seem like the flap easily bends open, for easy insert and removal- unfortunately that has not been the case for me.
- Second issue, and this is really my fault overall, is that the case size is longer than average. (I bought mine online and didn't think too much about the measurements.) Make sure your satchel, bag, can accommodate the size. The added protection makes it longer, and I definitely did not think about that before I purchased it, it barely fits in my work bag.
Like I said, overall, I'm satisfied with it and would recommend this product.

Good protection for tossing the Mac in your bagLike everyone else, my life is busy rushing around from place to place. I simplify where I can and like to carry my laptop in side my backpack or big arm bag. I saw this case at the Apple store but purchased it at BestBuy online on sale. This case is sturdy and stylish and protects my new MacPro very well. I love it so far. I've used it only a few times so I have not experienced any magnet issues yet and I don't place my MP on top of it either.

Apple creates new iBooks textbook solution
Introduces iBooks Textbooks and also iBooks Author, a free app for creating interactive textbook content for the iPad.
- Electronic textbook creation and publication may dis-intermediate the textbook publishers. Professors might now create their own textbooks, self publish and likely earn more per copy sold they do today from royalties.
- e-books are often tied to specific reader hardware and software. The book you buy from Barnes & Noble cannot be read on a Kindle, and vice versa. The iBook cannot be read on the Nook Color or a Kindle. As a software developer, I have one of everything (for testing), but most people do not. This limits sharing of the books you buy with other family members or friends.
- How long does an e-reader last? Phones are typically replaced every two years, in part because of contract-based, multi-year subsidies. But the iPad and the Nook Color do not have user replaceable batteries which will generally wear out in a couple of years. This means replacing expensive hardware rather frequently.
- iBooks for textbooks is giant step in the right direction but there is still much work to be done!

Bus driver loses job after political argument with boy
81-year-old had 20-year clean record before incident
As if anyone needed further proof that political conversations can have unexpected and undesirable outcomes, a bus driver was fired in New Berlin after she got into a political argument.
With a 12-year-old boy.
The boy, a seventh grader named Joey, was reportedly chanting "Romney" on his school bus.
According to him, that's when the 81-year-old bus driver instructed him to come to the front of the bus.
"I said that Obama's pro-abortion," said Joey, "and she said, 'well, maybe your mother should have chosen abortion for you.'"
Joey's mother was unsurprisingly surprised by the story.
"I'm like, 'oh my goodness! You did not just get told that from a bus driver!'" she said.
Joey's mother said the verbal abuse started weeks ago, when the driver saw a Romney-Ryan sign in their yard.
Prior to this incident, the driver had a clean record that spanned more than 20 years.
The school district fired the driver after an investigation.

A dual Spanish-Mexican citizen accused of killing and dismembering her ex-husband and a former boyfriend in Austria pleaded guilty here Monday on the opening day of her trial.
Estibaliz Carranza, 34, admitted cutting up the bodies and covering them with cement in two freezers that she hid in the basement of the ice cream parlor she ran in Vienna.
Prosecutors describe her as a cold and manipulative person who was motivated to act by selfishness and economic interests.
"She was capable of distinguishing between good and bad," said prosecutor Petra Freh.
The psychological examination determined that Carranza is criminally responsible for her actions, and she has been diagnosed with assorted behavior disorders that could lead her to commit violent acts once again.
Defense counsel Rudolf Mayer insisted that his client is a "person with a serious disorder."
Carranza said that her life had been an accumulation of bad experiences and disappointments: a tight family budget, an authoritarian father, broken emotional relationships and men who dominated and humiliated her.
As she admitted on Monday, in November 2008 she fatally shot her former husband, a German citizen with whom she was living and sharing the management of the ice cream parlor, in the back.
Two years later, Carranza shot her new boyfriend to death when she learned - she said - that he was being unfaithful, didn't want to start a family with her but also didn't want "to let her go."
"Now I'm realizing what I did and that there were thousands of better options than what I did," said the woman.
Carranza could be sentenced to life in prison and prosecutors have asked that she be placed in a facility for offenders with psychological problems. EFE

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers return to the practice field today to begin preparations for their gigantic Thanksgiving Day clash in Steeltown.
The Blue and Gold (5-8) can move into a second place tie with the Tiger-Cats (6-7) in the East Division if they can beat them on Monday afternoon at Ivor Wynne Stadium.
The Ticats are 61/2-point favourites, even though they've lost three of their last four and the Bombers are on a two-game winning streak.
"Their backs are against the wall a little bit," head coach Mike Kelly said. "This will be a great challenge for us, and I expect our players to be up to it."
Considering his team was considered all but toast just a few short weeks ago, it's easy to understand why Kelly had a huge grin on his face yesterday.
"This winning stuff could grow on you after a while," he said.
Kelly gave his players and assistant coaches the last few days off, but they will get back at it this morning at 10:45.
"I'm glad the guys got a couple days off," Kelly said. "It's been a physical couple weeks. Now let's gear it up and get ready to go for Hamilton."
PORTER V. GLENN: It's unclear who will start at quarterback for the Tabbies, but Kelly said his team will be ready for either Quinton Porter or former Bomber Kevin Glenn.
"Porter has more mobility than maybe people give him credit for and does a nice job on some of the bootleg stuff and moving the pocket a little bit," Kelly said. "Where we pretty much know where Kevin is going to be. Although Kevin is running better this year than what he ran last year."
BARRIN WHO? The CFL trade deadline is a week from today, but it doesn't sound like the Bombers are about to trade disgruntled linebacker Barrin Simpson.
"The only time I think of that name is when you guys bring it up," Kelly said to members of the media.
Simpson, according to the Vancouver Province, called B.C. Lions GM and head coach Wally Buono on Monday to see if he was interested in his services.
Kelly, however, said no team has made a serious offer for Simpson.
THE BEST: Jovon Johnson was named CFL special teams player of the week yesterday.
Johnson was a unanimous selection for the honour after his 118-yard missed field goal return touchdown in Winnipeg's 27-17 win over the Edmonton Eskimos on Friday night.
Johnson also had five kick returns for 106 yards and seven punt returns for 79 yards.
The other winners were Lions quarterback Buck Pierce (offence) and slotback Paris Jackson (Canadian), and Montreal's Chip Cox (defence).
THE ANSWER? The Bombers are 2-0 since they signed Justin Shaw, but the former University of Manitoba Bison defensive lineman isn't about to ask for a bump in pay.
"I'm happy to be here, so I don't need to request a raise," Shaw said. "Getting paid is good enough for me."
Shaw was drafted by the B.C. Lions last year and spent most of the season on their practice roster. The Leos cut him during training camp this year, and the Bombers inked him on Sept. 23 -- his 27th birthday -- after prodding from safety Brady Browne, his former U of M teammate.
Shaw, who helped guide the Bisons to the Vanier Cup in November 2007, eschewed the working world and stayed in shape, pining for another shot. Now that he has it, he doesn't plan on letting it go to waste.
"Now I gotta prove I can stay," he said. "I'm excited."

Are you trying to integrate ?

Hi, I'm trying to solve this problem but I'm having a lot of trouble since if I treat the bracketed part as 1 entity as I assumed I was supposed to, then I get a du value of which I can't figure out how to convert back to (i realize that it is likely very simple though).
If I don't treat the bracketed part as 1 entity however, then I am unsure as to how to include the part in my solution.
Any help wold be appreciated.

Serious Chocolate: How to Store Chocolate
@coda831 @skelly27 – Cold storage is actually very effective. Both ganache and finished chocolates can be frozen for several months (or more), but you mainly have to be really careful about bringing it back to room temperature. Condensation is your enemy (if it collects on the surface of the chocolate and dries it will cause sugar bloom and make the candies look blotchy and uneven), so the more gradually you can bring everything to room temp, the better.
If you do fridge/freeze, wrap everything as airtight as possible. If you put stuff in bags, get as much air out as you can before sealing them! When you're ready to defrost, move from the freezer to the fridge for at least a day, then from the fridge to room temp. Wrapping the whole package in a towel or cloth can help slow the thawing process and further insulate the chocolates from condensation.
And particular to you, skelly27, the ganache will indeed keep in the fridge (again, completely airtight), though 4 weeks is about as long as I'd want to keep it there before either freezing or using it.
Hope this is helpful – best of luck to you both!
Serious Chocolate: How to Store Chocolate
@esauer - sorry I didn't see this when you posted half a year ago(!) The answer really depends on the type of center you'd be using for the chocolate, but I trust they turned out just fine :)
@Sugarama26 - there are a lot of variables that could be affecting that. If they're molded bonbons, under what circumstances they are produced/stored, whether the cracks appear right away or over time, etc...but anything runny is going to eventually escape from chocolate, no matter how well they're coated to being with! I don't know enough about your process to be able to help, but feel free to contact me at the email in my author profile.
Serious Chocolate: How to Store Chocolate
@GreatEat - don't worry, you had the right idea! You can absolutely store chocolate in the fridge. Just keep it sealed in an airtight container (a large zip-top freezer bag works very well, just press as much air out of it as you can); and when you do remove it, allow it to come to room temperature slowly.
Crispy Cocoa-Nib Tea Cookies
@ocasey - cocoa nibs are fermented, roasted, dried cocoa beans that have been crushed into small pieces. If you were to grind them and add sugar, you'd have chocolate! They're not sweet, but good nibs have a lovely, mild chocolatey flavor and delicate crunch that are really unique. I love Scharffen Berger's nibs, but many larger grocery stores or specialty stores will have more than one brand available. They're also great in brittle, granola, on ice cream...all over the place :)
Chocolate Technique: Fork Dipping
@glutenfreewithemily - I don't believe I did! Here's the short version:
-for round stuff, the technique is similar; just use something like this little swirly guy on the right instead of a regular fork. You sort of just dump the finished piece off onto the parchment instead of sliding it (the coil leaves a nice little pattern on top). It'll take some practice 'till you get it right, but it's a lot of fun!
-for weird-shaped stuff (including bacon and chunks of honeycomb candy) - I learned this technique at Roni-Sue too. Grab a wide-mesh or spiral wire skimmer and a big pair of tweezers (metal and wood are both fine, though wood is a little more gentle). Toss a handful of whatever you're dipping into the chocolate, submerge with the skimmer, swirl it around a bit, fish it out, and tap to get rid of the excess chocolate. Use the tweezers to transfer the coated pieces to the parchment.
Hope that helps!
How to Temper Chocolate
@MRubenzahl - I've never used SV for tempering, but in theory method 1 would work just fine (providing, as you point out, that you dry the package VERY thoroughly)! Tempering does require agitation, though; so 2 wouldn't result in tempered chocolate. Would love to hear results of anyone who's tried using SV for this!
How to Make Chocolate Ganache
Anna - check out the one-page version here and scroll down -- basically, just heat a little more cream or some milk and add it slowly while whisking. Good luck!
Crispy Cocoa-Nib Tea Cookies
@Likeswords - That's correct! Thanks for pointing out the clarification.
Senegalese Pepper Sauce, Made in Manhattan
LOVE this stuff. I use it with noodles, in pickle brine, on sandwiches...nothing's ever spicy enough for me, and these are super spicy plus super delicious. Great to see Nafi featured on SE!
Krescendo: Is Elizabeth Falkner's Pizzeria Worth a Trip on the A Train?
@Kenji - the kale was 3 ways: fresh, sauteed (or braised, can't recall - cooked/tender) and crispy-fried - all those different textures and tastes were lovely just by themselves. Pancetta and ricotta were delightful; and I found the ratios of those and the dressing to be spot-on.

Two words: kale salad. It was divine, and totally different from any other kale salad I've had.
How to Temper Chocolate
@chickenlivers best of luck - let me know how it turns out!
Chocolate + Water = Mousse?
@carignane @jjiol - sorry for the belated response! It should stay fairly stable at cool room temperature (~65˚F); but don't quote me on it! I've never stored it for more than a couple hours.
@Lillamiu - As far as frosting a cake with it, I think that would be difficult - it sets up extremely quickly, and the line between "almost there" and "there" is paper-thin. If you still want to give it a go, I'd recommend at least one trial run so you get a feel for it. Good luck!
Serious Chocolate: How to Store Chocolate
No such thing as a wrong opinion - and I know plenty of folks who love freezer-chocolate :) There's no bad way to enjoy chocolate!
Mint Meltaways
@ Beagle - you can subsitute any extract; or just leave it out! It'll taste lightly coconutty, mostly chocolatey.
@ Tony and killa - solid-packed! You can also sub solid vegetable shortening.
@katz - sorry it didn't work out for you! You can always start with less extract and work up from there; if the chocolate was too bitter, maybe try a lower percentage?
Elizabeth Falkner's Dark Chocolate Fudge Frosting
@mtgall - it would definitely be sweeter with bittersweet chocolate; though I've never tried it, I doubt it would taste terrible! You wouldn't be able to sub cream in the same amount, since the viscosities of cream and sweetened condensed milk are so different; if you decide to try that, I'd suggest also adding a tablespoon or so of light corn syrup, to get it closer to the consistency of the original recipe. Good luck!
Food Artisans: Fattycakes NY
Tried these a few years ago & keep seeing them pop up here and there. Delightful. LOVE the Betty Jo and love the owner. Congrats, Jennifer!
Serious Chocolate: 3 New 3 Musketeers Bars
@redfish they should bring back the original three-flavor package! I'd totally give that a whirl. @Amandarama ditto.
@cdp no snark taken! I suppose I should have specified that they were new to me; not necessarily to all candy fans.
There seems to be a general consensus that the Now Richer Chocolate taste is yucky. What a shame...
5 Non-Lame Treats to Make for Your Valentine
@Taylor - Robyn is in fact a staff member at SE. She does great work!
Apologies for all the confusion; the bun is from Fay Da bakery, as covered in Robyn's blog (thanks to @lululunacy for the link) - a chocolate chip walnut bun. Clearly I should try and track down that recipe...
Chocolate Milk from Scratch
@kestrel I never even thought of that! man, immersion blenders are good for everything.
Chocolate Technique: Fork Dipping
@scalfin planning on dipping a D&D die? (mmm, plus two deliciousness points.) I just meant anything that would rest comfortably on a fork without rolling off, more or less.
@sugarchef @lemonfair excellent points all. When I used to work at Roni-Sue, I believe Rhonda would let the ganache rest unrefrigerated (in a cool place) right after she made it; but we stored it in the fridge, wrapped airtight, and it never suffered any degradation of texture. just my two cents.
@jutes this technique would actually work for bacon (with steady hands and sturdy bacon); perhaps that's for a future post...

The podocarps are a type of conifer that was important in the Mesozoic era and still survives today. The conifers first appeared in the Late Carboniferous period and included the yews, araucaria, and cypress. The podocarps are relatively small trees with specially thickened trunks that resist the effects of flood.
The podocarps are seed-producing plants, or gymnosperms, and have evolved a method of reproduction that is much less water-dependent than the pteridophytes. The word podocarp actually means 'foot fruit', since the part that produces fruit was the stalk, and was supposedly foot-shaped. They are also hardy to drought.
Some of the plants living today grow extremely slowly - specimens only 2-3 metres high are well over 200 years old. Nowadays they are limited almost entirely to the Southern Hemisphere but were an important plant in the wetter environments of the past.

Fantastic work, awesome crew
by Mpls lakes , 11/20/2015
Excel just finished refinishing my oak hardwood floors. This was a large job and they finished in six days. The crew was friendly, professional and took great care of my home while we lived elsewhere. The floors look brand new!
Excellent work, professional crew
by Western suburb home , 10/15/2013
Excel completed an install and refinish project for us. The crew was respectful of our home. They kept us updated on progress and the end result was beautiful. It was clear that they pay attention to detail and are proud of doing a thorough job.
Great work on a large job that required a tight timeframe
by nbizily , 10/15/2013
Excel took on a large project which included installing 1,700 sq ft of flooring and refinishing an additional 1,300 sq ft of flooring and was able to complete the job in just seven days as promised. The finished product was fantastic and the crew was a pleasure to deal with. We were very happy with the results and would highly recommend Excel to anyone looking to refinish existing wood floors or install new floors.
Oak floor refinish and customizing
by Andover Resident , 08/01/2013
Excel did some customizing, some board replacement and refinishing.Now the floor looks super. Professional and timely from scheduling of job to the finish of the job. Very satisfied.
Way to busy and could catch up with customer services.
by DN , 07/11/2013
I had to called in about 5 times to successfully schedule an appointment to have them to come to my place for estimating. Sandy told someone will return my calls which has never happen.An appointment has been schedule but no one shown up.They are way too busy and way far behind to deal with customers.
Refinish maple flooring nicer than when new
by Refinish maple flooring , 03/29/2013
Our maple hardwood flooring showed the wear and tear of 15 years of daily use. There were scratches and water stains and worn out look. Excel brought our floors to a condition better than new. Excel brought new life and rich finish to our floor all with virtually no dust. Thanks to Troy and his staff for making our floors the new highlight of our home.
The only company you'll need for your hardwood floors!
by Steven Patterson , 03/03/2013
We had to have some of our hardwood replaced due to water damage and the other parts of the house needed the hardwood sanded. These guys did an excellent job with taking out the old damaged wood, putting in the new hardwood and sanding/staining the old floors that didn't get replaced. Even though the new floors and the old floors are not even the same type of wood, new solid hardwood and the old is engineered, you can barely tell the difference between them and they both look AMAZING. They are also fast, we had to wait at the house for a couple of hours before we left for the week, and in those two hours, they had already pulled up the old floor and started getting everything ready to sand the remaining floor that wasn't getting replaced. What was also nice is that they helped me work with my insurance company. I tried other flooring companies and once I mentioned this is being done with an insurance claim, the helped stopped right away, not with Excel, they stuck with me and helped me get the damaged fixed. If you want a company you can trust and will do an excellent job, hire Excel, you will not be disappointed. I plan on using them again when we get around to having the remaining engineered wood replaced.
Excellent Job Refinishing and Installing Our Hardwood Floors!
by Maureen Colomb , 01/31/2013
Excel did an awesome job with our floors! I was amazed at how little clean up was necessary after our whole main floor was either refinished or had hardwood added. Very professional and trustworthy!!
Excellent & Professional Work
by Edina Resident , 01/30/2013
Excel did a great job installing and lacing-in a new wood floor in our kitchen to match the exisiting wood floor as part of a remodel. The bid was honest, the work was well done & and the crew was very professional. We will definitely work with Excel again in the future.
Beautiful workmanship refinishing damaged oak floor and installing new adjacent oak floor!
by K Cheesebrow , 01/21/2013
Excel did a beautiful job patching in new flooring and refinishing old existing hardwood flooring. Gorgeous detail in transitions from room to room. Excellent communication, clearly years of experience and expertise. Install/refinishing crew were very friendly, trustworthy, skillful, and professional. Took great care to minimize construction sawdust and mess. Final result a work of art.

One way that improvement can be made easier is through free agency, and the ability to have cap space to sign more expensive players.
In the following slides I will discuss a move or signing that would help every team with its respective cap space.

Jack Chick
Jack Thomas Chick (born 1924) is a controversial American Evangelical Christian cartoonist who produces religious tracts. According to the Jack Chick publications website, hundreds of millions of copies of Chick tracts have been read worldwide.[1]
Chick Tracts
His works are featured in "Chick Tracts," inexpensive comic books designed to be left in public places and to reach out to people who might be passing by. A major theme in his tracts are emotionally wrought portrayals of God's perfect love for his children alongside somewhat more violent images, like homosexuals writhing in agony while being burned alive in the streets of Sodom and Gomorrah.[2] Chick tracts take a Fundamentalist approach to the Bible, with an emphasis on the act of becoming saved. Also, Chick tracts emphasize that becoming saved is something that can be done at any time during one's life, whether that person is a small child or a death row inmate minutes from execution. He is also a member of the King James Only movement. This movement rejects all other versions of the Bible.
Some recurring themes include non-Christian characters being converted at the end of the tract, Chick's belief that the Roman Catholic Church is a tool of Satan, battles over human salvation between angels and demons, arguments for evolution being presented by old, aggressive and quick to anger teachers, the use of an 'accept Christ' form at the end of tracts and suggestions of demonic influence in even comparatively minor events such as the creation of TV series Bewitched.
Jews,[3] Muslims,[4] Roman Catholics,[5] Freemasons,[6] Jehovah's Witnesses,[7] Mormons,[8] Buddhists,[9] Hindus,[10] people that practice witchcraft,[11] homosexuals,[12] evolutionists,[13] Dungeons and Dragons players,[14] and Rock n' Roll fans[15] have all been negatively portrayed in Chick's tracts, often being presented as subjects or tools of Satan. Chick has responded that he does not hate these individuals, but hates the system they belong to that is feverishly working to win millions of souls for Satan.[16]
Critics have argued that Chick's tracts rely on stereotypes, faulty logic, and conspiracy theories,[17] including suggesting that the Pope is the Antichrist.
Many Chick tracts depict unrealistic plots to help make their points. Often, Chick tracts depict children in elementary school who have never heard of Jesus, or purport that it is illegal to even discuss religion at all in school.
Several Chick tracts - including most famously "Lisa" (currently out of print), in which a father is heavily implied to have had sex with his preteen daughter and even given her an STD - depict morally-heinous actions as being instantly forgiven through the power of prayer or some similar action. While God does forgive even the most heinous sinners, it cannot be denied that tracts such as "Lisa" and similar present such earthly sins as being of little import to others. Other tracts imply that is somehow "normal" for Christian parents to not mourn the death of their child if the child was not themselves a Christian.

Peach Melba
Raspberry Sauce:
1 cup
2 tablespoon s
lemon juice
Poached Peaches:
2 cup s
ripe, firm peaches
1 cup
1/4 cup
lemon juice
lemon, zested
1 1/2 us liquid pint s
Vanilla ice cream
2 cup s
heavy cream, whipped
1 cup
sliced almonds, toasted
Raspberry Sauce:
1 cupsugar
2 tablespoon slemon juice
Poached Peaches:
2 cup swater
3ripe, firm peaches
1 cupsugar
1/4 cuplemon juice
1lemon, zested
1 1/2 us liquid pint sVanilla ice cream
2 cup sheavy cream, whipped
1 cupsliced almonds, toasted
- Make the Poached Peaches: Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Prepare a bowl of ice and water. With a small, sharp knife, score a shallow X in the skin at the blossom end of each peach. Add the peaches to the boiling water and boil them until their skins begin to wrinkle, about 1 minute after the water returns to a boil. With a slotted spoon, remove the peaches from the water and transfer them to the ice water. As soon as they are cool enough to handle, peel them, starting at the X. Then halve and pit them.
- In a medium saucepan, stir together the water, sugar, lemon juice, and zest. Over medium-high heat, bring the mixture to a boil; then, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Add the peach halves to the syrup and continue simmering until they are tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and leave the peaches to cool in the syrup. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Make the Raspberry Sauce: Put the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a blender and process until pureed. Hold a fine-meshed sieve over a nonreactive bowl and pass the puree through the sieve to remove the seeds. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving time.
- To serve, place a ½-cup scoop of vanilla ice cream in each of 6 attractive glass serving bowls. Remove the peach halves from the syrup and place one, cut side down on top of each scoop of ice cream. Spoon the Raspberry Sauce over and around the peaches and garnish generously with whipped cream and toasted almonds.
About this Recipe
Dame Nellie Melba, an Australian-born opera star who won fame in Europe in the late-19th century, was saluted with this dessert, as well as with the crisp toast that bears her name. You can also make the dessert with 12 fresh, firm apricots in place of the peaches.

After seeing the international character posters for 20th Century Fox's X-Men First Class, we thought domestic audiences would be in for a treat. The one sheets featured Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr before they became the legends Professor X and Magneto and they looked great! Yesterday evening, the studio decided to release the U.S. versions of the posters and to say they were unsatisfactory would be an understatement. Check them out and tell us what you think…
The overall consensus on the net is that these are bad! The posters could have been created by a 5 year old with PhotoShop. It makes no sense for there to be this much negativity surrounding the promotion of a tentpole movie. Why did other countries get the good stuff and we got a cartoonish cut-and-paste job? Do you think we're being too harsh?
The Magneto poster looks the worst out of the two. The shadow appears to be a cartoon. There's no real definition or anything. Poor Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy. We'd be pissed if our faces were superimposed against such a cheesy backdrop.
Fox needs to recall these posters immediately because they're not doing the film any favors.
What do you think of the domestic poster for X-Men First Class? Are they really as bad as we think?

Fayetteville Council ponders city reorganization
A fundamental reorganization of city government in Fayetteville is underway.
Proposed changes that would make organizational changes while eliminating a number of unused positions and consolidating others will be considered at the City Council meeting on Thursday night.
The reorganization is due in part to the more than a dozen long-time city staff set to retire and to the volume of work in some departments that has decreased due to the recession.
Some positions will be unaffected, some will be consolidated and others not being utilized will be eliminated.
Among the positions being eliminated are accounting coordinator, engineering technician trainee, senior maintenance crew leader, senior engineering technician, chief code enforcement officer, special projects coordinator, public works crew supervisor, assistant director of public works and director of planning and economic development.
City staff on Thursday is expected to report on the cost savings generated by the reorganization and the proposed changes to the pay scale. Pay scale changes and the consolidation, including the upgrading, of some positions is expected to be more than offset by the savings that will be generated from those retiring and from the number of positions proposed for elimination.

Blu-ray Review: 'Psycho II - Collector's Edition'
Ready to go back even more years later to visit an old cross dressing friend? Then follow us as we check out the new to Blu-ray classic "Psycho II – Collector's Edition" out now from Shout! Factory's horror division Scream Factory. We review the film and Norman Bates's psychiatric release papers below!
Title: "Psycho II - Collector's Edition"
Grade: 4
Cast: Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, Meg Tilly
Director: Richard Franklin
Rating: R
Runtime: 113 minutes
Release Company: Shout! Factory Home Entertainment
Website: www.shoutfactory.com
The Flick: Who could possibly compete with the classic film that is Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho." From the famed shower scene to the iconic fall down the stairs heard around the world, the film is virtually an untouchable vision of horror. But Director Richard Franklin and pre-"Fright Night" screenwriter Tom Holland did something remarkable with this sequel – they made the film a thriller. Using the frail and newly released character of Norman Bates as the films' focal point, the audience becomes not only engaged in the plight of Norman, but even sympathizes with him. It's a real testament to the guys behind the camera on this one, not to mention the layered, nuanced and still magnetic work of Anthony Perkins who almost tops his previous outing. While not the original, this is still a solid sequel that Hitch himself would give a thumbs up to.
Best Feature: The candid 'Commentary' with Tom Holland is about as good as it gets with the dish on Perkins, Franklin and even the rift between the leading man and Meg Tilly.
Best Hidden Gem: Love seeing the 'Vintage Interviews' of the entire cast, plus the ominous menu image of the house and Norman is beautifully unsettling.
Worth the Moola: Got a section for sequels that don't suck – prepare for an addition.

u=3x and v'=sin x/cos^4 x
u'=3 and v=INTEGRAL sin x/cos ^4 x dx
But how do we find that integral?
We have, (multiply by negative)
-INTEGRAL -sin x/cos^4 x dx
Let, t=cos x then t'=-sin x
Apply substitution rule,
-INTEGRAL t'/t^4 dx=INTEGRAL 1/t^4 dt
Thus, by using t^{-4} and exponent rule we have,
Substitute back,
(-1/3)cos^{-3} x
Thus by parts,
-xcos^3 t+(1/3)INTEGRAL 1/cos^3 x dx
The problem is how to deal with that integral.
I believe that if you can express it then you should write,
sec x*sec^x
Apply integration by parts.

If voided, the transaction is not sent for settlement but is stored in the payment gateway as a Void. No further action can be taken on a voided transaction.
Note: Since transactions in Authorized/Pending Review are being held for manual review, they are not eligible for group void on the Unsettled Transactions page.

Step 1: Click the check box(es) next to the transaction(s) you would like to approve. You can also click the Select All check box at the top of the report to approve all eligible transactions on the current page

Sort Transactions
By default, transactions are sorted in descending order by Transaction ID. Clicking on a column header will sort transactions in descending order based on the information provided in that column. For example, to sort transactions from most recent to oldest, click the Settlement Date column header once. Clicking again on the same column header will resort transactions in ascending order.
An arrow next to the column header indicates the current sort order for the transaction set. An up-arrow indicates that the sort is ascending (A-Z), and a down-arrow indicates that the sort is descending (Z-A). You can sort transactions by the following columns: Transaction ID, Filter(s), Submit Date/Time, Customer Name, Customer IP and Amount.
Filter Transactions
You can filter the Authorized/Pending Review transactions to view only those that triggered a certain AFDS filter.
To filter transactions by a certain filter:
Step 1: Select the filter for the transactions you would like to view from the Filter By: drop-down list.
Step 2: Click View. Only transactions that triggered the selected filter are listed.

Evelyn Lutman Roberts
Original name: Evelyn Fahnestock
Apr. 22, 1917
Missouri, USA
May 4, 2005
Tulsa County
Oklahoma, USA
Evangelist. Evelyn played a vital role in Oral Roberts' ministry since its origin in1947 with humble tent meetings attracting a few worshipers, then packed audiences until folding the big top for the last time in Los Angeles. The result was the establishment of an evangelistic organization with headquarters in Tulsa with radio preaching and eventually a television ministry seen around the world. The couple founded Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Evelyn was a familiar sight by her husbands' side as they traveled around the world on many evangelistic missions. She served as a trustee for the Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association and was the spiritual regent for the University. She became a popular author and speaker in her own right, authoring several books, including her best-selling autobiography, "His Darling Wife, Evelyn," "Whither Thous Goest" "Miracle Life Stories" and a childrens' book, "Heaven Has a Floor." Her personal life...She was born Evelyn Lutman Fahnestock in Warsaw, Missouri, the daughter of a preacher and one of eight children. Still in her childhood, the family moved to Oklahoma and attended Texas College of Arts and Industries in Kingsville,Texas transferring to Northeastern State University coming away with a teachers certificate. While attending a camp revival meeting in Sulphur, Oklahoma, a chance seating arrangement with Oral Roberts a speaker, seated at her left, led to an exchange of a few words. Evelyn went on to Texas where she taught school for three years. Later after the meeting, she received a package containing a book authored by Oral. A courtship by correspondence began. Oral with his mother made a special trip to Texas and visited Evelyn during school hours too the amusement of her pupils. The two resumed corresponding while she continued to teach school, and he continued to hold evangelistic meetings. One night, as Oral was holding a revival, a man standing across the street fired a bullet within a few inches of his head resulting in national fame as an evangelist. Evelyn finally accepted a marriage proposal and the couple was married in Westville, Oklahoma on Christmas Day in 1938. A great American love story and marriage would last over 66 years. Down through the years, whenever Oral Roberts spoke publicly about his spouse, he referred to her as "my darling wife, Evelyn" which became a trademark for the couple and their ministry. In 1965, they broke ground for and institution of higher learning which became known as Oral Roberts University. The school opened with three hundred students. Today ORU is an accredited school with alumni numbering in the thousands. From 1961 to 1970, the couple preached in over 54 different countries. The ministry has been marred by outlandish claims of visions, faith healing, law suits and shady real-estate ventures but has survived and grown with their son Robert in control. Although Evelyn admonished Oral, when he spoke about marriage, stating she was not interested in being a preachers wife, while living in a church parsonage with a passel of children. After rethinking her position, her marriage to Oral encompassed a parsonage, although she had an active part in the ministry, resulted in a family of four, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Due to age and a decline in Oral's health, the couple retired to Newport Beach, California but maintained honorary ties to the ministry. Evelyn, on a simple trip to her dentist, fell in the parking lot and sustained a serious head injury which led to her death at Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian at age 88. A public memorial service was held at Oral Roberts University Mabee Center which was attended by thousands, her husband, children and many dignitaries including Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry. Her remains were transported back to Oklahoma and interred privately in the family plot in Memorial Park, Tulsa.

L'Wren Scott Might Design Angelina Jolie's Wedding Dress
A Grazia source says so.
Though her wedding date (if set) remains a closely guarded secret, Angelina confirmed her engagement to Brad Pitt earlier this year with the debut of this serious ring. Now, one of Jolie's friends — not a good friend, evidently, given the gossip-sharing antics — tells Grazia the actress has met with L'Wren Scott multiple times, and that Scott is her No. 1 choice for a bridal gown. Angelina wants "someone who is not so obvious for designing wedding gowns," and reportedly feels that, of all the designers clamoring to dress her in (likely pink) lace and frippery, "L'Wren is the one who understands her body the most."
