Vagifem Tablets vs Estrace Cream: Which Estrogen Is Best?
Dr. Sharon Orrange - October 14, 2015
Local estrogens work for the treatment of vaginal dryness, painful intercourse and preventing urinary tract infections. Forty-five percent of postmenopausal women experience those symptoms but only a minority use vaginal estrogens. A recent study revealed the solution may lie in prescribing vaginal tablets over the creams—more women seem to prefer the tablets.
Why are vaginal estrogens a good thing? They don't carry the same risks as oral estrogens do because there is much less systemic absorption. See More
Relieving Dryness and Pain: Which Vaginal Estrogen is Best for You?
Dr. Sharon Orrange - November 18, 2014
Estring, Premarin cream or Vagifem: which is better? Without estrogen replacement, one third of women experience symptoms of atrophic vaginitis including dryness, irritation, itching and pain during sex. All vaginal estrogens have been shown to relieve these symptoms and improve quality of life for these women. In addition, vaginal estrogen therapy has been shown to have a favorable effect on libido/sex drive, urinary tract infections and incontinence. See More

"The repercussions of this multibillion-dollar change in federal taxation will be felt across the country, in high and low tax states, and in every city. county and school district." said the report, commissioned by the Coalition Against Double Taxation, a group of government, business and labor officials Under a Reagan administration proposal to simples the federal tax code, some deductions would be eliminated, but the overall tax rate w ould be reduced Elimination of the state and local tax deduction might appear a benefit to a low-tax state like Texas because it could draw businesses and wealth) individuals awa) from high-lax states But an economic study commissioned b> a group of government, business and labor officials contends the disadvantages nu* weigh the benefits The average Texan who itemized and took the state and k>cal tax deduction saved $404 in 1982, according to the report The report >aid 42 4 percent of Texans itemize deductions, and estimated that 99 percent of itemizing taxpayers take the state and local tax deductions See TAX, Page IZA Tubing the Comal Tube tour Members of the Rivers Oversight Committee donned swimsuits and grabbed their tubes Tuesday for a tube tour down the Comal River.

In closing arguments this morning. District Attorney Bill Schroeder said he felt like ' execution" was more appropriate a word than "murder" to describe the case against Amaro. "Taking someone out to a country road and emptying a 357 Magnum into their back, that s execution," he concluded. Hernandez' body was found on April 20 about 15 feet from the edge of Wegner Road by a fisherman. He had been shot six tunes in the back. Travis County Medical Examiner Dr. Roberto Bayardo testified Tuesday that all six wounds were fatal in nature, and the bullets used were not ordinary projectiles Schroeder called the bullets that entered Hernandez' body "projectiles of total destruction. As soon as they enter the body, they begin to peel from the outer core downward, destroying everything in its way. "Six of those (projectiles) went into that body. Think about the mind, tow sinister a person must be to stand there and pull the trigger," Schroeder said. See MURDER.

See story Page 2A CISD eyes SVHS site By DEBBIE DeLOACH Staff writer Comal ISD will start looking for water on a 60.5-acre tract of land at the intersection of Highway 46 and Smithson Valley Road next week. If the well digger finds an adequate supply of water, the land will be purchased as the "perfect" site for the new Smithson Valley Highschool. CISD Superintendent Bill Brown said the proposed site was "the best one we've looked at. If we can hit water, it'll be outstanding. It's a good location for transportation and growth. All I can say is ifs perfect." At their Tuesday night meeting, trustees approved the land option agreement and gave the go-ahead to drill for water. Harvey Pape, CISD director of transportation, said drilling would begin sometime next week. "The Guadalupe Valley Telephone Cooperative and a game ranch nearby both have good wells," Pape said. "So we don't foresee a problem." Board President Leroy Goodson said lie was 99 percent sure the site was where the new SVHS would be built. The campus will set back from the Smithson Valley Road-46 intersection, and take up 54 of the 60.5 acres. The rest of the acreage will be devoted to a half-circle road connecting 46 and Smithson Valley Road in front of the campus. "This site is just across 46 from Whispering Hills subdivision, and it's about two or three miles from the present Smithson Valley High School," Pape said. "It's my understanding they looked at this same site when they built Smithson Valley, but couldn't buy it at that time," Brown said. If an adequate supply of water is found and the district can secure a clear title to the land. Goodson said the purchase price w ill be $5,000 per acre. In other action, the board denied two student transfers, but waived tuition for eight others. Brown recommended the two be denied because their present school systems could offer better service than CISD. The other See CISD, Page I2A Proposed SVHS building site ;

'Twas My Greed
'Twas my greed that drove you away,
Like the dripping precipitation running
And the moths to a fire are catching,
Beasts inside the beautiful, beautiful flame;
Allure has its fatalities,
That I know from drowning,
Watching your lion at the shores, feet clean,
Proud of accomplishments you've crafted,
As beyond you are more trampled flowers,
Heads all filled with past-sense answers,
Your fearsomeness no trophy, surely,
When the petals faded out of dull light?
Illusionary, you made the lyrics
And cast your single melody to the metronome
Beating of the crooked finger;
Though mystic you are, and trickster too,
'Twas not that which ran between we two,
It was instead my grief and greed,
Insatiable burning, the line, the foam
That cast its dazzling barrier in our way,
Throwing you back from the storm,
Your reaction the only sense when I created
A line of friction from pyromania;
What affection blooms from a forced hand?
And how could I not see your binds,
Your struggling without a word?
For when you moved, I turned my back,
When you ran, I covered my eyes
So not to see that light so blinding;
Through rolling tears I hid my sight.

Here's a simple vegan paleo balsamic raspberry rhubarb jam recipe that my friend has been bugging me to share on the blog. It's our favorite homemade jam recipe, and I just love making it because it's so simple, wholesome, and also because wild raspberries and rhubarb grow in abundance on our farm and this jam is a lovely way to enjoy those two ingredients together! So if you're looking for something to do with all your rhubarb, this recipe is a great way to use it up! I love this recipe too because the balsamic vinegar gives it an extra dimension and adds a lovely flavor, and the agar agar flakes make this jam have an amazing texture and consistency. Enjoy it!
Vegan Paleo Balsamic Raspberry Rhubarb Jam Recipe:
*Makes 1 jar of jam (as pictured)
- 2 cups chopped rhubarb (I used frozen)
- 1 cup raspberries (I used wild)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup (or another liquid sweetener of your choice)
- juice of 1 lemon (or roughly 3-4 tbsp lemon juice)
- 1 stick of cinnamon
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp agar agar flakes
1. Place all ingredients except balsamic vinegar and agar agar in a sauce pan (I used a cast iron pot) and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Once the 15 minutes are up, add in the balsamic vinegar, stir, and allow the jam to continue simmering for another 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the agar agar flakes until they are dissolved. Discard the cinnamon stick. Remove the jam from heat and transfer into a glass jar. Allow the jam to cool down to room temperature, then store in the fridge and use within a week or freeze for later use.

P.S. This jam goes incredibly well in this Gluten-Free Vegan Raspberry Almond Squares recipe!

Individually recent news clippings might not mean much to an author. Taken together, there is an unmistakable pattern. The times are a-changing, and we're getting glimpses of what's in store — and how to take advantage of this.
R.R. Bowker, the company in the USA responsible for issuing and tracking International Standardized Book Numbers [ISBNs] announced that in 2007, some 411,422 books were published in that country. Not that many new titles were launched because an ISBN is assigned to each edition. So a title might have a hardcover edition, paperback edition and mass market edition, each with its own ISBN. About one-third of the ISBNs (134,773) were for new print-on-demand (POD) produced titles. [Wow -- that's a huge increase since I published the very first ever POD title in 1995 when founding Trafford Publishing.] Overall, the number of new books published each year has increased by 66% over 5 years.
What isn't counted in the 411,422 are the eBook and audio book editions — add those in and I'll bet the consumer (and retailer) is faced with choosing between over one half million new editions per year now. And that's just the USA's output.
What's this telling us? There is more competition every day, so it is harder to get your story publicized. There are also more editions — publishers are electing to offer multiple methods to sell the same content, instead of focusing solely on a hardcover edition — this is what I refer to as the "multiple long tails" strategy.
LibreDigital has a new partnership with OverDrive. LibreDigital provides a service for publishers whereby book content is displayed and repackaged and marketed in a variety of ways, through a variety of retail channels. The term for this service is "digital content aggregation". OverDrive has established eBook sales relationships with over 7,500 libraries and retailers — LibreDigital's publisher clients can now access OverDrive's distribution channels.
What's this telling us? Again, this is taking content and feeding it into multiple long tail channels.
Microsoft has abandoned its Live Search Books program after dumping tens of millions of dollars into scanning tens of thousands of printed books. This program was Microsoft's direct competition to Google's Book Search.
Of note: Ingram Digital (which was doing the scanning of printed books under contract to Microsoft) is hoping to gather up publishers who participated in Live Search Books, signing them to Ingram's own evolving digital content aggregator offerings. Ingram Digital is jockeying to become a one-stop portal for publishers to eBook and POD sales channels, and multiple publicity mechanisms (including Ingram's own Search and Discover platform).
What's this telling us? Even Microsoft, with its deep pockets, needs to pay attention to what is economically viable. It had no revenue stream attached to this ambitious undertaking.
Publishers Weekly reports that:
eMusic.com has added about 500 DRM-free digital audiobooks to its selection from nine new publishers including Simon & Schuster, Hay House and BBC Audiobooks UK. Another 500 are coming soon. eMusic currently has an inventory of about 2,500 audiobooks; it is selling approximately 13,000 titles a month without DRM protection. Among its publishers is Random House which is expected to add another 3,000 titles shortly.
What's this telling us? Digital Rights Management [DRM] has essentially been abandoned by the major book publishers, who are anxious to build new revenue sources. Is 13,000 titles per month a lot? Likely that is about $130,000 per month or under $2 million per year in gross sales — a drop in the bucket when royalties are split between all those publishers. Audiobook sales in MP3 format are growing fast, but they are not "there" yet. For an independent author, this illustrates where the market is headed, especially when cell phones get cheaper data transmission rates (coming soon).
Harlequin Romance is steaming ahead with eBook production and other digital promotions — with some success in sales. Check out an interview of Harlequin's Malle valik on CBC Sparks with Nora Young:
Penguin (according to Publishers Weekly) has reported that e-book sales from the first four months of 2008 have surpassed the house's total e-book sales for all of last year. According to the publisher, the spike is "more than five times the overall growth in sales, year-on-year, through April 2008." Penguin Group CEO David Shanks said he attributed the jump, in large part, to the growing popularity of e-book readers.
What's this telling us? eBooks are coming on stream quickly. Watch for ever-increasing sales across all retailers as cell phones become better eBook readers with larger screens. Authors: get your content into eBook format!
New York Times stories report that Sony Music is trying to squeeze about $1 million per year in revenue from sales of old photos. In this business environment, "every million counts." Warner Records is doing the same with their archival photos. Sony's John Ingrassia said, "The difficulties in the business have opened people's eyes to things we didn't consider doing." Universal Classics, a jazz label faced with drastically reduced sales of its CDs, is diversifying into managing artists and their tours.
What's this telling us? The book industry is only a few years behind the recording business in terms of impacts from new technology (i.e. people buying — or pirating — music as MP3 downloads, instead of buying CDs). See these music giants squirming to cut costs and find new revenue sources. Changes are already starting with the biggest book publishing companies. Action generally comes after the denial stage. One top Canadian government official, who shall remain nameless, told me she met recently with the top people at all of Canada's largest book publishing companies, and had never seen a group of business people who looked so scared about the future. Let's hope they can agree to stop selling books on a returnable basis — and save an ailing industry billions each year.
There's a great article on NPR in the USA about Hachette's new imprint called simple "12″ — as in publishing just twelve new titles each year. http://www.npr.org/templates
"Nobody has any idea what's going to hit. I think that publishing is basically a corporate form of legalized gambling," says Jonathan Karp, publisher and editor in chief of Twelve.
Karp's team is bucking the traditional shotgun approach, to instead focus on quality and publicizing fewer titles ("think quality, not quantity"). Their publicist can now concentrate on promoting one title instead of 6 or more at a time.
What's this telling us? For your own book, you'd be wise to focus on the QUALITY of writing, editing and design — and then hone your marketing. Add in a multiple long tails approach to sales and promotions, and you will be where the industry is going to be (not trying to emulate where it was and can no longer stay).
thanks for sending me your thoughts,

On my P2000, there were TRUGLO sights, if I recall correctly; I don't know the model. I really liked them and wouldn't mind having a set for my Glock 23. However, I'm open to other options. I want three green dots that have a low, sleek profile. They need to work in no light. That's about it. DC, what are your suggestions?

I have some Trijicons on some of my Glocks, but I have Meprolights on all of my newest additions. I'll continue to go with Meprolights from now on. They are less expensive, and larger and brighter IMO, and I seem to hit better with them as opposed to stock sights, or the Trijicons.
All of my Glocks have the TFO from Tru-GLo. They glow day or night and I've only seen one bad set ( one side of a rear sight on a customer's gun died) out of 20 or so installed for customers. Without the fiber optic of the Tru Glos, I don't think there's a lot of difference between manufacturers of conventional night sights. A Tritium dot is a Tritium dot.

I have matching Tru-Glo's on all of my Glocks. The FO helps the eyes in low light too.
I have a set of Trijicons about four years old that were factory installed on my Glock 17. I'd entertain an offer of $30.00 or so, plus shipping if you'd like - they will fit your Glock. Shoot me a PM if interested.

After seeing a set of Meprolights, I recognize them as the ones on my P2000. That's what I got.
Thanks for the input.

If I have a traditional 3 dot sight, I definitely prefer a contrasting color on the front sight. It does quicken the sight alignment.
Lately I've been enjoying the vertical alignment of the XS Big Dots I have on my XD9sc. For me, and according to scientific studies it is quicker for the eye to align.

The time has come, the walrus said, to talk of many things
of shoes and strings and sealing wax and cabbages and kings...
And of fields and hedges, of stony beaches and deckchairs, of sparrows and crumbs and pints, cricket and pub bands, fish and chips. Of dried-up parks and warm ponds. In English! With friends who drink and go on long country walks but also drive to the postbox on the corner.
After a month of first wet and then too hot weather, of doing double shifts writing and translating, of taking my Mum to department stores and cheese boutiques, of partying and yodelling, of arranging keys for builders and looking for somewhere to park my car for two weeks, I am really ready for a break. England - here I come!

-Rise Again-
Poem by: Coralie
Status: Finished
Genre: Song Lyrics
You know that I've never
Been one to apologize
Especially when the entire thing
is a fabrication of lies
So even though there are things I may have done wrong,
Stop acting like you didn't play along
Perhaps I never made myself clear
I don't give a shit anymore,
Because now there's nothing to fear.
This is the last time
That I will sell myself
And the last time
To save someone else.
Now I have to start
From the end,
And I have to decide
Who's really my friend,
But god damnit,
I will rise again.
It's so damn funny
That every single time you need me
I'm there.
But if I were to ask you for help,
You're nowhere
To be found.
Well I've learned that lesson
Too many times these days
So don't expect me
To retreat back to my old ways.
This is the last time
That I will sell myself
And the last time
I'll save someone else.
Now I've got to start
From where I found my end
and I have to decide
Who's really my friend,
But damn it,
I will rise again.
Oh, it's every man for himself
I refuse to cry,
I'm exhausted with trying
to keep living a lie,
If you don't want me for who I am,
Then it's easy to see
You were never a man.
This is the end of you and I
Yeah, this is the end
Of you and I...
That was the last time
I would sell myself,
Yeah the last time
I'd save someone else.
Now I've started
from the place where
I thought was the end
And I know who's there for me,
Who's really my friend.
I told you,
I would rise again.
Oh I did rise again.

Relationships, platonic or loving, have to be give and take. All take and no give says the guy (or girl) is not worth your effort. Good poem written with resolve!
I like it...
i really like it. again you seem to make a bad situation have a positive outcome. i like this positive, strong attitude you have. your writing always flows beautifully, and thism as always, was a pleasure to read. well done again x Nikki x
and I will definitely drink to that Coralie .... if they don't want us as we are, fuck them ... or not, as the case may be :)
I can relate to this so much... I barely trust anyone anymore, I guess that's why... Anyways, this was so good, I loved how every verse ended, so dynamic, and it flowed brilliantly as well. Great writing!
Caitlin. X

That was intense
Wow. Powerful! Loved it. Gets a like!
Welp. I can now say that I like at least one motivational song without sounding like a girl that puts oranges in her bra so that her boobs will look bigger, because that's the stereotype I think of when people try to think positive and everything. And that's just mean too, judging people because they're optimistic, unlike me, but I don't know, I feel a little weird reading this and thinking, this gave me a little bit of hope. So good job on that, turning a pessimist into 1/100 of an optimist today, bro. Not many can say such a thing.

As Helen Power reports in this week's issue, Landwell is facing some difficult decisions. In the spirit of free enquiry, here are some questions for the Landwell management.
1. Are you entirely obsessed with form over content? Instead of Birtist management theories, diagrams, meetings, benchmarking and the like, who's actually going out and getting the work? What's more, the strategy document reads like it was written by a parrot that talks in set phrases. What, for example, is the "corporate transformation and transactions" group as opposed to the M&A group? (We asked around; nobody seemed to know.) And instead of saying: "Profitability needs to be managed upwards," why not just say: "We need to be more profitable." What's wrong with plain English?
2. So you're looking for merger with a UK firm. Precisely why would a UK firm want to merge with Landwell? You don't have the profits, you don't have the mass, you don't have the contacts. The fact that it has taken you nearly a year to hire two equity partners may tell you something.
3. You think the PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) management is committed to Landwell? How can you convince your own lawyers of that when PwC has hived off the consulting arm as well as the US restructuring arm?
4. Why, out of three equity partners in the UK, is only one a fee-earner? How does this square with the cost-cutting and handful of redundancies within Landwell? Should your cost structure not be entirely revised, given that the three partners each earn an average of half a million?
5. Why are the firm's lawyers scattered over several buildings? How can you build a culture like that? Is it not the case that any identity you try to create will now be born too late?
6. Yes, the London market is competitive. But why have so few parts of the UK business garnered so few referrals from PwC? You talk about leveraging internal contacts. You've had years to build up Landwell in conjunction with the largest professional services firm in the world. KLegal has managed to grow to the same size in half the time, recruit some good names and pull off a UK merger – all in three years.
7. Are you deluded about the corporate market? In what sense can Landwell become a market leader in M&A "by reputation or by number of deals, or at least have significant competitive advantage within the next two or three years"?
8. At what point do you just give up?

Beneath the Gaze of Neon Dragons
A romance hidden in the urban shadows of half-seen souls.
I was born in a five dollar room to the sound of jazz and in the smell of rye whiskey. I was the consequence of a twenty dollar romance between a sad, broken woman and a rich, unknown man. The woman named me Santino and the man was long gone by the time I came.
She died in the streets. Bad heroin in her veins, I presumed. I survived, a child growing up in the alleys on the backdoor steps of bars and pawn shops -there with the discards of lives that once were and the dreams that never came to be.
I am three times my age, an old man worn out by cold and neglect. I am a ghost of a soul, a dweller in the shadows and resident of the sewers.
So I drink my muscatel and chew on half-eaten rolls, here on the corner of Third and Lombardy, beneath the gaze of neon dragons.

marble floors
I have installed marble floors about 4 years ago. I have buffed them but they are now pretty scratched up and not shiney anymore and want to find the best way to bring them back to a high gloss. any thoughts?

I am sure others have thoughts too, but I have a few to start you off on...
You say you have a marble floor and want to 'restore it'; well, asking for advice on that is like asking a mechanic how to fix your car. Guaranteed, he'll need more info before being able to respond intelligently to you.
First off, what type of marble? and who told you it was "marble"? did the store clerk tell you or do you have the opinion of a stone professional that this is indeed 'marble' - or do you really know? where did you buy it? what does it say on the invoice? what colour is it basically and do you have pics for us? are they thick tiles or what. How were they installed, if they were tiles... by professionals? and what method was used - if you know - to install them. What's underneath? Is this a bathroom, living room or a kitchen or an entry? What overall size are you talking about?
Do you use any products on it now, as regular maintenance items, for day-to-day cleaning? what are they specifically? Mr Clean? Windex? water? exactly what are putting down, if anything?
You say they were buffed? with what? how often? and what was it buffed with a machine? who buffed them? and why were they buffed? What other treatments did the floor receive apart from the buffing? Were any professionals consulted on this now or before? Has anyone ever come in and done something to the floor for you? what if so and how much did it cost you?
You say a high gloss...were they highly glossy before?
Why do you say it got "scratched"? what do you think caused it. Furniture moving or people's dirty shoes? Is it shiny like a mirror otherwise - like around the edges - or is it honed everywhere but just looks worse in the traffic lanes? When you rub your hand over several tiles do you feel like one tile is perhaps higher or lower compared to the others, or can you barely feel the height difference between any of them? Is there grout on the floor if they are tiles? what colour? what type? how does that look overall? pieces missing? cracks?
Has it ever been "sealed"? with what? by whom? what steps do you normally take to make sure the floor isn't damaged? I mean do you watch out for etching products like orange juice from spilling onto it? Has it ever been 'waxed'?
These are just some of the questions I would ask before undertaking such a job, even going out to see the floor in person, let alone quote you on a restoration job. Because those answers will dictate to me what procedure I should follow to give you the results you want.
But the short answer to your question is that yes, 'marble' floors can be restored, even to looking better than they did when you bought them, and this is done by a true stone professional. Now it may cost you more or less depending on what the answers to all the questions I listed above are - and to my knowledge any true professional would need to know those answers before proceeding. Otherwise he's operating half-blindly.
Stone floors can be messed up in the hands of inexperienced people but stone has been here long before problems we make were ever heard of, so nothing is irretrievable. The maintenance of stone normally starts before the stone is even bought and installed and proceeds throughout the lifetime of its installation. What to use, how often etc are just some of the instructions you should be aware of.
Hope you get back to us...

Gee, Bud some people might just resent the connection or the resemblance you allude to...and I wouldn't do that if I were you - unless done in jest. but you have a lousy way of jesting my friend.
You have a problem with those questions? That is how I prequalify stone restoration jobs over the phone and I strongly advise colleagues to do the same unless they are happy just going out to give estimates on their own time. This type of prequalification prior to giving an answer isn't my idea, but is standard practice, and notably by a personal friend, the guru of stone restoration (who recently passed away), Maurizio.
Put it this way; what answer would you give the poster Bud? or are you a stone restoration professional too? Like what polishig powder? and what machine? with what weight on it? what 'marble' - and how do you know?
I'm now starting to wonder about you Bud. I think you may be embarassing yourself - but have an inkling you don't really care.
Otherwise you wouldn't be showing yourself up like this.

OP asked a simple question. A simple answer is all that is necessary in my thinking. These folks aren't stone experts and likely don't want to be. They also are not equipped to take on such a task anyway. All that information (if they haven't asked for it) is basically useless this early in the thread. YOU aren't going to be the guy that refinishes the floor. Obviously it takes a pro, and their chosen pro can ask whatever questions he chooses but it isn't likely he is going to involve the customer to THAT degree either.
I sometimes think guys that make long intricate detailed replies to simple questions are simply doing so to impress themselves with how smart they think they are.
Even if the OP were to answer that myriad of questions YOU still couldn't do anything for them. Let the company they ultimately choose ask the questions. Your concern should be seeing to it that the customer chooses the right re-finisher not trying to show them how smart you are.
This started out as a joke actually, I was playin' with ya, but since you are so thin-skinned I thought I would try to elaborate. Try as I might I still can't get my word-count to equal yours.
In the past you have called me out several times in an effort to embarrass me and show others your intelligence and so far you have fallen short of that mark. I now know better than to include you in any hanky panky in the future and I will from now on treat you with the respect you think you deserve. I bow to your superiority my friend.
I'm sure Maurazio taught many grasshoppers prior to his untimely demise and I never once in all the years I knew him ever saw him do to anyone what you repeatedly try to do to me. HE was a true professional in every respect, you are still a grasshopper in that respect.

Bud, you and I can exchange privately if you really want, but if you chose not to, then here's your answer...I only wish you would have pm'ed me the crack about Nestor - instead of airing it publicly - I am not thin-skinned, I just don't take to patronizing remarks - even from experts especially when they take personal shots at another member. Next time let us all know you were trying for a bad joke, so we can ignore it if we choose.
So let's see.
Quote: "A simple answer is all that is necessary in my thinking"
OK you're entitled to your own opinion. But I disagree. When there's a BIG chance that the OP doesn't even have "marble" to begin with, how can there be a "simple answer"?
I hope the OP now has an idea, not of who will be doing the work for him but some of the questions he will have to answer - or should ask -to whoever shows up to provide him their service for pay. In giving him a heads up on what to expect, I am giving the OP the tools he needs to make the right choices between contractor A and contractor B.
But he didn't ask us for the name of someone to show up, he asked for thoughts about a "marble" floor that was buffed.
Unless the OP has those answers on the tip of his tongue, and has the right machines in his garage and the experience it takes to run them, he won't be doing that work himself. That's why he posted a question. So no use telling him 'get a professional' - he already will. At least, now he will I think...
My goal was to make him think about the enormity of the answers to a simple question about stone restoration, each question that could affect how much he pays and the job he gets...and others readers of this bb too, I hope, will gain that too. After all why have a forum if not for that purpose? A yellow pages the OP already has, I am almost certain, so he doesn't need that.
We agree on MB's professionalism, that's for sure. But if you think he didn't call a spade a spade by calling out charlatans, quacks, morons and entire associations - you don't know him. You misspell his name - yet he believed in teaching first and foremost and, yes, he taught me too - and both you and I are 'grasshoppers' in comparison. None of us can ever match such a great teacher, but we all can contribute to the profession he loved in our own way. Don't know what he taught you Bud, but that's what he taught me.
You took my post down a peg or two and for all I know maybe a few people think it deserved it. Fair enough. And some might think you're a "big" contributor for doing that. The people I am interested in reaching may not. So again, leaving aside your emotional hindrances, what was it that you can add to the OP's post?
Yup, I'm calling you out Bud. You asked for it, after all. Oh - that was sort of a joke...

Hi. Humble answer here. If it is truly marble and has deep and dirty scratches, this is usually repaired by a professional with the right equipment for taking the surface layer down and rebuilding the "polish".
Don't let anyone put acidic or chlorine based cleaners on it. Marble is like a rock sponge and that stuff ruins it. It needs to be cleaned, sealed and honed/deep buffing. Get some references from a stone dealer, they "usually" Know the reputable craftsmen. I know some in California if you are on the west coast near the bay area.

I was sorry to find, this morning, that there was no answer(s) from the OP about his "marble" but was happy to see that wilderstyle had brought up the question of whether it was truly a "marble" - or something else.
Indeed, what if he has 'travertine'? that's a 'marble'...what if it's what's called 'green marble'...what if it's limestone? That, commercially, is known as 'marble' too, perhaps technically incorrect but a practice I've seen before...so really we don't know exactly what he's got and therefore it's hard to discuss what he should do with it.
If he has "green marble", is that sensitive to weak acids too?
If it's polished marble, will that take a sealer?
Ah, questions, questions...And that was the point of my first post, there are questions...a point Bud seems to disagree with. Oh well.
Oh yeah; I spell - and I misspell - all the time in both languages I speak every day; yesterday, I misspelled (or misspelt) a word - but I make it a point not to misspell Maurizio's name, I guess, out of respect and he was a friend. And I know the present tense when I write it.
So, Bud you have no lessons to give anyone on grammar. See? you've embarassed yourself again.
Why do keep on doing that? Quit while you still have some dignity left.

i agree with two things here.... after seeing 'marble' made from what looks to be scrap chips and glue, who KNOWS what the OP has? until that fact is posted, it's all hypothetical. and 2, yeah, you guys should have kept the rest of the conversation in PMs.... no help to the OP at all.

There is also that "cultured" marble that isn't real anything. It is fake and used everywhere and not so cheaply, but not fixable with buffing. By the way guys, love thy neighbor as yourself, mmm. Let's talk to each other about the subject matter and not at each other. You are both quite witty and intelligent, both can be damning to tender ears. Use your powers for good! Just my opinion. We are all of the opinion it may not be real or even stone. Yes, acid hurts stone. Stone is a sponge that retains everything for years. Softer stone, ie marble absorb quickly and do forever damage. If not sealed stone soaks up liquid and retains it until something absorbs it or fills it. Example, a coke can on a stone counter leaves a ring, in marble it cuts a ring in the stone almost immediately if it isn't sealed properly. Guys don't polish your nails on the natural stone bathroom counter, or spill the after shave either.

The Non-Sensical Tale Of The Jackster
I've decided to write a story where I make things up on the spot, not caring about those fancy technical terms like "sense" and "understandability". Enjoy!
The Jackster (who shall now be known as Jack) sat hunched over his laptop, the cup of tea beside him growing cold. He was looking at his Protagonize profile. He hasn't written anything.
"Why can't I write anything?" He asked himself. He often talked to himself, his reason (which he gave while arguing with himself) being that he couldn't find more interesting conversation elsewhere. Just then, the door opened behind him.
"Aha!" said the man at the door. Right about here would be a description of the man, had said man not been wearing a ninja suit. Of course, one can still say that the man also had a katana and a red headband on his head. The katana was not on his head. It was in his hand. "Don't make me use this," he said, referring to the sword he was now waving around.
"I see you are Japanese," Jack noted, observing his accent.
"Yes I am, you Chinese dog!" The man replied, getting angrier for no apparent reason.
"Japanese...." Jack repeated. He rose from his chair, advancing on the ninja. The ninja was losing his nerve, and was backing away now.
"YOUR CARTOONS ARE TERRIBLE!" Jack exploded, swinging his fists around while chasing the unfortunate ninja. The ninja bolted out of the house, with Jack still chasing him.
The ninja ran down the street, passing a little old lady using a walking cane. The bystanders were looking at the ninja. Then Jack ran by the old lady. The instant he did, she fell down, her hands empty.
The two of them were now racing to the docks, the ninja planning to jump into the water and swim, hopefully losing Jack.
"Come back here, you yellow fiend!" Jack called after the ninja, waving his new cane. Suddenly, Jack stopped. He drew back the cane and hurled it at the ninja.
Come on, just a little further, and I can escape this wacko, thought the ninja. Sadly, had Jack not been armed with a walking cane, the ninja would have been correct. The back end of the cane struck his head, knocking him down.
Jack rushed over to the unconscious ninja. He picked him up by the collar and dragged him back into town.

Welcome to my blog: showing you that you can do it.
Have you heard of The Google Search Function Of The Law Of Attraction?
Sometimes it is helpful to look at the same idea from a different perspective.
Sometimes you think you have 'got it' but actually you can get something more out of it.
And you can think of the Law of Attraction in a slightly different way.

I received one of these this morning
I couldn't find any information about it online, so decided to throw caution to the wind and buy it - the Door Gym was not suitable for my door.
So far I've just had time to unpack and attach to the door, which is really easy. I have hung off - i weight about 200 pounds, and it seems really sturdy. Will update when I have tried some pull ups.

by Laura Rowley
A number of years ago, psychologists Richard Ryan and Tim Kasser conducted a series of studies that found people who make the pursuit of money and materialism a top goal in life have lower well-being. They experienced higher anxiety, depressive symptoms, lower self-esteem, and more physical, behavioral, and relationship problems. They also scored lower on indicators testing for vitality (feeling alive and vigorous) and self-actualization. In studies done by Kasser and Ryan and others, the findings were similar across a variety of age groups, income levels, and countries.
Skeptics suggested that lower well-being was a function of the difficulty and stress involved in attaining those goals -- but once people achieved their aspirations, happiness would surely follow. Or, as the actor Johnny Depp told 'Vanity Fair' magazine this month, "Money doesn't buy you happiness…but it buys you a big enough yacht to sail right up to it."
A new study conducted by Ryan and two others followed graduating college students who set a range of goals at one- and two-year intervals. The goals were both extrinsic (money, status, personal image) and intrinsic (relationships, health, community involvement). The results confirmed the earlier work: People who sought riches and status -- even when they attained them -- were less satisfied with life than their peers. The research appears in the June issue of 'The Journal of Research in Personality'.
"Those who had the biggest increase in the amount of attainment of wealth, fame, and image actually showed no increase at all in well-being -- zero," says Edward Deci, psychology professor at the University of Rochester, who co-authored the study with Ryan and Christopher Niemiec. "Even more startling, some of those people showed increases in ill-being, including depression and anxiety."
Three Fundamental Needs
The researchers hypothesized that pursuing and attaining different goals would lead to different consequences depending on how they satisfy basic psychological needs -- part of a larger concept known as self-determination theory. Says Deci, "We believe there are three fundamental needs that have to be met to be psychologically healthy: relatedness -- to have relationships with other people and feel a sense of belonging and inclusion; to feel competent, like you can effectively manage in the world and have an impact on the world; and autonomy or self-initiation -- that what you do is in line with your basic interests and values, and you're not doing it just because someone is pushing you around."
The researchers measured three factors at year one and year two: the degree to which a subject attained their goals, the degree to which well-being rose or fell, and the degree to which he or she experienced satisfaction of basic psychological needs. "What we found," says Deci, "is when people had attained more of the extrinsic goals, they tended not to experience increases in basic needs satisfaction in autonomy, competence, and relatedness -- and that in turn predicted ill-being."
I suggest to Deci that the exclusive pursuit of intrinsic goals is fine for someone in their early 20s -- but a bit idealistic for people who have mortgages to pay and (in my case) three college tuitions on the horizon. I love to write, but there have definitely been a few less-appealing assignments over the years in which money was the main attraction.
"It's important to have enough money to live comfortably and pay the mortgage and educate your kids -- we all need to do that," Deci replies. "It's not necessarily the case that pursuing monetary goals is bad for you -- it's when those goals get out of balance with other intrinsic goals. When it becomes really important to amass a lot of wealth -- and you put all your time and attention into that -- it crowds out the other goals. It's about keeping in touch with what your true values are."
Inviting Social Comparison
Aside from the crowding aspect, extrinsic goal-seeking tends to invite social comparison. "If you're really focused on wealth, fame, and image as indicators of your worth, what you're going to be doing is looking around at how you compare to other people because they may have more of that -- a fancier car or a bigger house," Deci explains.
And the faster you acquire stuff to keep up with the Joneses, the faster you adapt to it, and the more you want new stuff -- also known as running on the "hedonic treadmill." Deci says it goes back to the fact that important needs aren't being met.
"The pursuit of extrinsic goals has a lot to do with an underlying anxiety or insecurity that comes from a lack of deep satisfaction of basic psychological needs," says Deci. "Superficial gratification comes from putting a good image out to the public and getting the recognition and feeling of belonging from wealth and a beautiful house and fancy cars. The substitute for having meaningful relationships is people who think you have a cool car. That puts us in a position where we are forever needing to get more and more things to get a sense of security in ourselves."
So there is a chicken-and-egg aspect of this work: Anxious, insecure people tend to pursue extrinsic goals in the first place because they are anxious and insecure. But Deci says the research controls for the personalities of respondents because it measures change in the amount of goal attainment from year to year as well as change in well-being: "Looking at change in longitudinal way suggests we're really talking about the attainment (of extrinsic goals) leading to the ill-being."
It's worth noting that it's not money itself that makes you miserable -- it's pursuing it directly, instead of pursuing a passion that happens to make you rich. But even that can be problematic if it's the only thing you pursue, says Deci: "It's nice to be passionate about work, of course, but are you really having meaningful relationships, are you really developing as a person in ways that are meaningful for you? It's trite to say, but when it gets to end of life and you're reflecting back, what were the things that were deeply important? It's easy to lose track of them over the short-term."

Surf Clean Custom Shaped Waves with Supra Boats Swell Surf System
Clean custom shaped waves crash into convenience with the Swell, a next generation surf system from Supra Boats.
Additional Links
Swell System System Web Site (http://supraboats.com/
2 Distinct Wave Shapes
While others divert water for wake surfing, Supra shapes it to create clean scalable Swell waves. The new Swell Surf System cranks out two distinct waves, on either side, to satisfy a variety of surfing styles and skill levels. The Skim wave swells up smooth towards the front with a crest that forms on the backend finishing with a small break. The shape of this wave creates perfect push from top to bottom for a rider just looking to the throw the rope or a seasoned skim boarder who loves to spin. The Swell's Barrel wave challenges surf skills with an ocean-esque curl, progressive push and a steep drop for pipeline-style carves.
Improved Handling and Forward Visibility
Unlike early surf boats and one-system-fits-
VISION Touch Integration for Quick Side-to-side Transfer
Precisely controlled through Supra's VISION Touch with customizable deployment, this system can adapt to each individual's surfing goals and boat set-up even on the fly. Choose your desired wave shape, the side you would like to ride and then fine tune your favorite waves. If you're looking to transfer, the Supra Swell Surf System allows you to transfer the wave from port to starboard in approximately 1.8 seconds.
Precise Next Generation Design and Stout Construction
The Swell Surf System utilizes high-speed rams to adjust 5/16-inch stainless steel blades laser cut and bent to control water turbulence off the rear of the boat's running surface. The specially designed trailing edge of these blades, or flaps as these types of elements are referred to in a fluid dynamics, create a vortex-effect behind the boat resulting in specific wave shapes. Different angels of deployment of the blades create custom effects in the water turbulence to swell-up Skim and Barrel waves. Swell blades benefit from a shot peen finish, a strengthening process commonly utilized in aeronautical construction, to increase the fatigue life of the piece. The Swell System is mounted and held together by a series of stainless steel through-bolts and stainless brackets for an extremely stable platform for wave making. The Swell Surf System is available on 2014 Supra SA and SC wake boat models only.
Elevate your expectations to a tough stainless steel surf system that produces custom waves in addition to convenient side to side transfer controlled at the driver's touch screen without compromising handing or forward visibility. The Supra Swell Surf System is pushing the shape of wake surfing beyond better.

Golden Gate Dirty Thirty
Views of the Continental Divide and aspen-lined trails greeted runners at this three-year-old race, held in Colorado's Golden Gate Canyon State Park, 30 miles northwest of Denver. The 50K course, quickly becoming a favorite among the state's top trail runners, has nearly 8,000 feet of climbing, all between 8,000 and 9,500 feet above sea level. Course records are always in play, particularly at young events, and Joe Grant (Louisville, Colo.) ran 4:49 to trim a few minutes from Justin Ricks' 2010 course standard. That effort should serve notice that Grant's in good form, something that should serve him well if he makes it off of the Hardrock 100 waitlist in about a month. Nick Clark (Fort Collins, Colo.), leading the race prior to a wrong turn, finished second in 4:54. Nick Pedatella (Boulder, Colo.), Clark's pacer for the upcoming Western States 100, was third in 5:00.
Boulder's Darcy Africa (pictured at right) ran 5:24 to beat a quality field and also set a new course record in the women's race. Africa, a Pearl Izumi-sponsored runner, is set to race the Hardrock 100 in July. Three women who will race the Western States 100 in three weeks finished 2-3-4. Helen Cospolich (Breckenridge, Colo.), the 2009 50K winner and last year's third-place finisher, was second in 5:33. In third and fourth, Becky Wheeler (Casper, Wyo.) and Anita Ortiz ran 5:34 and 5:40, respectively.
Full results are here.
The North Face Endurance Challenge
The national series rolled into Washington DC, and Matt Woods (Falls Church, Va.) rolled to a super-quick 5:59:03 50-mile finish. Just behind Woods, who was 12th at the 100K World championships last year, Jordan McDougal (Culpeper, Va.) was second in 5:59:52. McDougal of course ran at Liberty University and won last month's TNF Endurance Challenge race in upstate New York. Michael Wardian (Washington, DC), just a week after this 11th-place finish at the Comrades Marathon, was third in 6:03:10. The women's race was not at all close as Ragan Petrie (Arlington, Va.) ran 7:33 for a nearly 75-minute win.
Full results are here.
Kettle Moraine 100
While several hours off his 2009 course record, Zach Gingerich (Aurora, Ill.) collected another win in La Grange, Wis.. Running 19:30 for the 100-mile course, Gingerich was an hour and 15 minutes ahead of runner-up Paul Schoenlaub (20:47). For the ladies, Jennifer Eichelberger ran 23:31 for the win. Julie Treder and Michelle Gallagher followed in 26:11 and 26:55, respectively.
Full results are here.
Rothrock Trail Challenge 30K
The La Sportiva Mountain Cup continued on perhaps the series' most technical course. Jacob Loverich (State College, Pa.) ruled his hometown race for the second year in a row. Primarily a cyclist, Loverich's 2:37 winning time improved on last year's result by an impressive 9 minutes. Matt Byrne (Scranton, Pa.) repeated as runner-up, running 2:40 to drop 11 minutes from his 2010 finish. Mountain Cup regular Jason Bryant (Elkin, N.C.) was third in 2:45. Also repeating as champion, Meira Minard (State College, Pa.) was the first female in 3:11. Alison Bryant (Elkin, N.C.) and Caitlin Strahota (Wellsboro, Pa.) ran 3:29 and 3:39 for second and third, respectively.
Full results are here.
Leigh Schmitt (Healdsburg, Calif.) won Oakland's Canyon Meadow 50K in 4:16. Grand Slam of Ultrarunning record-holder Neal Gorman (Washington, DC) won Virginia's Old Dominion 100.

American Airlines Valuation
These numbers represent the fourth quarter results and can be found on the 8-K SEC filing. Fourth quarter 2016 pre-tax profit was $500 million, or $773 million excluding net special charges. Also, total revenue per available seat mile was up 1.3 percent year-over-year, which is the first year this has happened since the fourth quarter of 2014. As a potential investor, the idea that consecutive growth is happening shows the company still has the ability to grow and maintain profitability.
Now, let us switch over to the chart and see if price is reacting in a health way. Taking a look at the monthly chart, you can see there is not a whole bunch of historical data, but from what we can tell is that price is in a range and appears to be going back to the downside. For a short position, this could be great, but we're here for long term growth and want the company's stock price to rise. Right now, I would wait for the price to catch some support and be sure to watch the latest numbers because that will influence price direction.

EUR/NOK: sell target - 8.2000
- EUR/NOK broke strong support zone
- Next sell target - 8.2000
EUR/NOK has been falling strongly from the start of this month – recently breaking the major support zone lying between the support levels 8.5000 and 8.5500 (as you can see below). This support zone has been repeatedly reversing this currency pair from the start of February. The breakout of this support zone should strengthen the bearish pressure on EUR/NOK in the near-term perspective.
The pair is likely to fall further inside the accelerated impulse wave 3 of the intermediate (C)-wave from last month (which is a part of the second primary ABC correction ② from December). Next sell target stands at the support level 8.2000 (target price for the termination of impulse 3).
