News - 21.03.12
The CONBECA Program with the Support of Wines of Argentina
The Conbeca Program has been supported by Wines of Argentina since 2009. In November 2011 the third edition of the Conbeca auction was held, with a view to offering continued support to the Mendoza, Salta, Neuquén and Río Negro groups. The auction was hosted by Ambassador Shan Morgan at the British Embassy in Buenos Aires.
In 2009, during the first edition of the auction, the amount of AR$30,000 raised was destined to grant 10 three-year scholarships in Mendoza. In 2010, the proceeds tripled to AR$90.000. Spurred by the success of the event, WofA has decided to support 45 students as of 2011 and work on the organization of two other editions of the auction.
During the third edition, we collected AR$137,930 for the Conbeca Program. The Mendoza chapter was initiated in 2011 through WofA's support and the group is among the most committed to Conbeca in the country. With a total of 17 scholars, the Mendoza chapter has managed to become a close-knit group, and one that gives young people a feeling of belonging. They participate in Workshops on Values, which they themselves describe as a space for growth. The scholars spend four hours per month volunteering in various organizations such as Otras Voces and Un Techo para mi País. They also participated in a leadership program and presented their conclusions at Universidad del Comahue. By the end of February, a group from the Conbeca headquarters visited Neuquén to give a leadership workshop, with excellent results.
CONBECA EL CHAÑAR (8 scholars)
This group was formed by mid 2011 under the coordination of Sandra Hawrylak. The group is made up of 7 scholars, three of whom had to retake the school year. The only high school in the area had shown a 60% retake rate that year. The population in the area has unique features, and the lack of public transport to Neuquén city limits the future opportunities of the students from this underprivileged background. Their challenge is to incorporate new leaders to drive community development.
CONBECA MENDOZA (8 scholars)
This chapter has had WofA's support since 2009. The adolescents in this group are from Algarrobal, where Asociación Conciencia strives to eradicate child labor. Children in this area are mainly hired to work at brick furnaces. When we visited Algarrobal to celebrate Malbec World Day, we participated in a workshop and had the chance to confirm how much adolescents value the importance of the opportunities afforded by Conbeca for their future lives.
CONBECA SALTA (26 scholars)
2011 was a year of growth for Conbeca Salta. A new group was formed under a new coordinator, which is key for the expansion of the program in the area. The scholars really profit from Conbeca and the mentorship of their leaders.
BARILOCHE 1 (9 scholars)
This group works in collaboration with the Conciencia local group to help students from underprivileged neighborhoods located in the outskirts of Bariloche. In the course of 2011 five new scholars from the Anturrunca school joined the program. The rest of the scholars attend the CEM 37, 44 and 45 schools. Every other Saturday the group meets at the Conciencia local venue, which contributes to strengthen the group and provide emotional support to its members. Besides the Workshops on Values, they also receive tutoring. Scholars volunteer 4 hours of service in their communities. The Conbeca headquarters group visited them in February. Two scholars quit the program, one because they had to retake a year and the other due to work reasons.
As of 2011, those who have completed the Conbeca program may have access to the Convos Program for tertiary and university students. At present, 10 students from Bariloche and 3 from Salta are participating in this program.
To contribute to this program or get more information, please contact Sol Benedit at firstname.lastname@example.com or call + 54 11 4393 3719.

Just got my tracking info.
With the season quickly approaching, your 2012 tickets will soon be arriving. This year we are again sending all season ticket packages out via Federal Express. Your package has been shipped to the address on your account (shown above) and will arrive in 2-3 business days.
Received an email yesterday as well. Delivery looks like it will be on Aug. 2nd...at least for those of us out West.
Any clues as to the packaging/goodies? There was a pretty elaborate box delivery for the inaugural season of the new stadium.
i just got home and my tix were at the front door. very nice, no crappy hat. got 2 license plate frames that says season tix holder. a much better item. and everything was in a little jets reusable bag.
Anyone have a problem with parking passes on the Acct. Manager?
Cool. I have enough hats!
A New York Jets season ticket holder license frame will look interesting around my Arizona license.
Mine are apparently waiting for me at home. My vastly better half sent me a pic. I see the tix, some kind of bag, and the license plate thing. A nice little surprise!
I am psyched for this season!

Watch orthopaedic surgeon Robert Gorab perform a total knee arthroplasty using the Sigma® Balanced Surgical Technique from DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc.
The webcast will be moderated by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Douglas Dennis and biomedical engineering professor Dr. Richard D. Komistek. The surgery will be broadcast live from the Hoag Orthopedic Institute in Irvine, California. Dr. John P. Collier of Dartmouth College will also join the live discussion via teleconference. Viewers are encouraged to email their questions, which will be answered live on Tuesday, February 28, 2012 at 4PM Pacific (7PM EDT).
Sigma® Balanced Surgical Technique
Contemporary total knee arthoplasty demands high performance instrumentation that provides enhanced efficiency, precision and flexibility. Through a program of continuous development, DePuy now offers a single system of High Performance instruments that supports your approach to knee replacement surgery.
This surgical technique provides instruction on the implantation of the Sigma® family of fixed bearing and rotating platform knees utilizing the Balanced resection instrumentation. There are several approach options available to the surgeon, the most common are: medial parapatellar, mini-midvastus and mini-subvastus.
AOX™ Antioxidant Polyethylene
During the live knee replacement surgery Dr. Gorab will also feature DePuy Orthopaedics newest product, the AOX™ Antioxidant Polyethylene, the next generation of polyethylene for rotating platform knees.
Using its advanced blend of polyethylene resin and a unique antioxidant, COVERNOX™, DePuy Orthopaedics has created a new polyethylene material that has extraordinary efficiency in trapping free radicals and scavenging oxygen. This first of its kind combination is designed to deliver optimal wear resistance and long term oxidative stability.
By eliminating the annealing or remelting process, AOX polyethylene delivers outstanding oxidative stability and optimum wear resistance without compromising the mechanical properties of polyethylene.1, 2
Patients expect to continue their active lifestyles post-surgery, so today's knee implants need to meet these demands. DePuy Orthopaedic is dedicated to developing and evolving technology for clinical success that benefits both patients and surgeons. With the introduction of AOX Antioxidant Polyethylene, only DePuy Orthopaedics offers designs to accommodate the different philosophies of PCL management, wear reducing benefits of rotating platform and oxidative stability.

By Craig Andresen – Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio
"America, stop interfering with other countries, especially the Muslim Ummah. We are not weak… By Allah, we will not let you sleep unless you give peace to the Muslims. You will not celebrate or enjoy any holiday."
Those words were among the last written by Somali "refugee" Islamic terrorist, 18-year-old Abdul Razak Ali Artan, on his Facebook wall.
He also wrote…"Every single Muslim who disapproves of my actions is a sleeper cell, waiting for a signal. I am warning you Oh America!"
And yet…liberals from the halls of congress, to the media's 4th estate, to twitter just couldn't, for the lives of themselves, find a motive for what that 21st century college student with a 7th century mentality did on the campus of Ohio State University.
Regarding those motivation baffled liberal buffoons…

Defining Reasoning and Proof
|The Reasoning and Proof Standard | Inductive and Deductive Reasoning | Thinking About Reasoning in the Classroom | Questions and Answers | Connecting to the Other Process Standards | Summary | Your Journal
In both examples of the Building Rafts with Rods Student Work that were introduced earlier in this session, you used and observed inductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning involves generating data from specific cases of a problem, keeping an organized list of results, looking for a pattern in the data, and then making a generalization. In other words, we are using inductive reasoning when we make and justify a conjecture based on what we have observed.
Deductive reasoning, on the other hand, uses general rules to prove something about a particular case. In other words, deductive reasoning uses statements that we already know are true to prove other statements. In the Building Rafts with Rods problem, we first used inductive reasoning to develop a generalization from patterns, but in order to prove that the generalization always holds, we needed to use deductive reasoning. As students worked with the models to generalize a rule for finding the surface area, they were beginning to use deductive reasoning.
Another example of using inductive reasoning follows an activity in which students make observations from exploring angles in a triangle. After examining many triangles, students may come to the conclusion that the sum of the angles in a triangle will always be 180°. The students' conjecture is based on what they have observed from testing many triangles, so they are using inductive reasoning. As students relate this conjecture to other properties of triangles that we know to be true, they would move toward using deductive reasoning to justify their thinking. Middle-grades students will usually begin to justify their reasoning through the use of inductive reasoning. Our goal is to help them move toward more formal justification and proof by reasoning deductively.

I like this book because I really like monsters, cyclops, and halfbloods. My favorite scene is when the cyclops sits on the fire. I thought this was funny because his clothes catch on fire and he has to run around to put the fire out. I like books that have cyclops as characters.
I like this book because I like cyclops. I recommend this book to kids 7 years or older because I think they will find the characters interesting.

You can set up your Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 on any Windows 10 device, and you can set up the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows on any Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 7 tablet, laptop, or desktop computer. There are two steps to setting up the adapter—connecting the adapter to your device and binding your controller.
Make sure that your Windows device is up to date and connected to the Internet.
Plug the adapter into a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on your Windows device, and installation will happen automatically. Drivers for the adapter are built into the Windows operating system.
Note For more information, see Xbox Wireless Controller functionality across operating systems.
If you're using the adapter on a desktop or other device in which the USB port doesn't face the controller or is blocked by metallic objects, you should use the included USB extender so you'll avoid wireless interference and have a good line of sight to your controller.
If you've used an Xbox One Wireless Controller before, you'll be familiar with the binding process to pair a controller with a console, or in this case, the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.
Follow these steps to bind your controller to the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows:
Some PCs, such as Microsoft Surface Studio, have Xbox Wireless built in. This enables you to connect your controller wirelessly by using Add a device in Settings. You can also use this method to connect using your Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows instead of pushing the button on the adapter.
If you have trouble setting up your adapter or controller, see Troubleshoot the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.
Would you like to contact Support regarding the "Set up the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows" issue you were reading about or a different issue?

VATICAN CITY — Never let an on-the-record denial get in the way of a good story.
That seems to be the philosophy behind the continued publication of rumors that the Vatican has rejected the names of three potential U.S. ambassadors to the Holy See, including Caroline Kennedy, because of the candidates' position on legal abortion.
Last week, we ran a story quoting the Vatican's spokesman, Father Federico Lombardi, who dismissed those reports by saying: "No proposals about the new ambassador of the United States to the Holy See have reached the Vatican, and therefore it is not true that they have been rejected. The rumors circulating about this topic are not reliable."
But that rather categorical statement didn't stop media in Europe and bloggers in the United States from repeating the story over the Easter weekend. "Pope says nope to Ambassador Kennedy" was a typical headline in a British tabloid.
Today Father Lombardi issued another denial, this one to Agence France Presse, saying specifically about the Kennedy report: "There has not been any proposal regarding the new United States ambassador to the Holy See, and it is therefore untrue that she was rejected."
Other Vatican sources — people who know — have told me the reports are unfounded. And based on conversations I've had, their initial bewilderment seems to be turning to irritation as the stories continue to circulate.
THURSDAY UPDATE: The BBC now quotes a "senior White House official" as saying the Obama administration had "not floated any names with the Vatican."

Happy Easter to all LG Members !
Good afternoon
Some of you me remember me through my Playmobil Victorian creations and customisations on my Return to Regent St project which I developed over a period of 4 years but this wonderful adventure which was abruptly interrupted by the loss of my job in Luxembourg. I then had to carefully pack a 3.5 meter x 1.5 meter diorama which has still been stored in my house in South West France since February 2016.
I have since been battling life upfront as many of us do until I found a new permanent job in the UK which I know very having for having lived in Windsor for 10 years and have settled in the charming little community of Marlow located on the banks of the River Thames, a few miles away from London.
The flat which I have rented has a much reduced living space that the one in Luxembourg and cannot consider getting the Return to Regent St diorama shipped back to the UK.
But the good news is that following the release of the Sylvanian Families New Town Series which scale is very similar to that of Playmobil, I wish to embark on a new miniature project set in Victorian times in a leafy and elegant district of London featuring a Department Store, a Restaurant and a few other surprises that I would really like to take you along this exciting new journey.
I am at the very early stage of planning this project which I wish to be evocative of Springtime, childhood and the innocence of a by gone era.
I will bring back my collection of custom figures, furniture, vehicles, plants & flowers as well as the lighting sets and anything relevant for this project early June following my holidays in France and will then kick start this new exciting project.
May I take this opportunity to which you all a Happy Easter and tell you how happy I am to finally be able to reopen the magic door to the enchanted land of Toys & Miniatures !
Here are a few pictures taken during a photoshoot presentation for my YouTube Channel Playmovictorian.

A bear was spotted in a urban area of Myrtle Beach on Wednesday morning and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Myrtle Beach police are working to find it and safely move it to another location.
The black bear was seen near Carver Street and a DNR official estimates that it is around 220 pounds. It is believed to be hiding in a wooded area, though officers can't see the bear due to the thick brush, according to Captain Joey Crosby.
The Myrtle Beach Police Department is asking anyone who lives or works in that are to "be cautious while outside today," Crosby said.
"We encourage the public to contact the police department if they see the bear, and please under no circumstances do not attempt to approach the bear," he said.

I purchased these at our local Thrift Store for $8. I didn't know what I wanted to use them for, but I knew they had great potential.
They started out as unfinished wood. I coated each one with Rust-Oleum primer and a coat of Rust-Oleum Heirloom White Satin. We live in a SMALL house by the ocean. Did I say small? I mean SMAAAALL. However, Heirloom White just makes everything more open and airy feeling...I just can't tell you how much I love it!
For awhile these hung on the wall in my room. I clipped notes from the kids on them...it was pretty cute. One thing kept bugging me. The top corner of one of the shutters had a chunk missing. Not in a cute shabby chic way. It just looked like a chunk of the shutter was missing. I decided all I needed was to chop off the top portion and make them smaller.
When I say "I needed to chop off the top portion" I really mean, take them to the local hardware store and let them do it...for free. Two minutes away...and they cut it for FREE. I LOVE local businesses!
I love love love the way they look cut smaller. No more missing piece...just cute shutters. I gave a quick shot of paint to the top of each piece where the cuts were made.
I attached a hanger to the back of each shutter. Yep, it is crooked, but it doesn't affect the hanging at all...so, pretend it is straight.
They are the perfect size to slide a book over one of the blades! Just the kind of storage you need in a tiny space...off the floor and up on the walls. And the kids can take a good look at what is there. It is much more visual. I can't wait to put Christmas books on display!
A tiny house with a teeny tiny book nook...pretty cozy. The kids love it...that's all that matters.

The TETON Westwood Mighty Mites sm Fund may invest in relatively new or unseasoned companies, which are in their early stages of development, or micro cap companies positioned in new and emerging industries.

'Howard Freeman (2)' appears on one of the Firefox browser window tabs and, along with the other seven or so tabs, constitutes a small but growing and ornery press corps at 6:30 this morning.
The '(2),' I learn when I click on it, indicates that on Facebook I have a Friend Request waiting (that's good, as long as it's not one of the always-slender women from Eastern Europe whom I don't know, who appear to be photographed with a 1970s Polaroid, and have only male friends and no mutual friends with me—I can only surmise they found me because I listed Darren Aronofsky as one of my favorite movie directors) and also a comment added to something I've written—a news item I posted to my Wall, or piggybacking my comment somewhere else…or whatever. Some notice of some thing (if ever there was a good use of that word that all English teachers mark off points for use of) that warrants a number on the display in front of me that requires attention now. The hand from the press corps crowd is sticking up, or rather down—from the menu bar.
But wait! There! On the icons in the dock (some of them doing the put-your-left-hip-in Hokie Pokie out from the screen's edge to warn me that I have forgotten some thing), and on my iPhone, my life consists of responding to white numbers in red circles. They all tell me I am running late.
Other tabs include my Chase Bank account (which I've set to send alerts to my mobile phone if certain things happen, so now I can be warned from several directions and with several tech indicators at once—as though I am Helen Keller and need a strobe, tone, and shifting parquet floor to get my attention), my work email (on which I now respond to a concerned message instead of continuing coffee with the First Lady, who was sitting contentedly on the couch next to me but now turns to her iPad. She plays 'Godfinger,' a game where she controls little Wii-looking figures who all do what she says and 'worship' her, accumulating her 'Awe' in the lower right corner…I have no such currency), my Google calendar (whose full window, with unabashed seniority, itself occasionally pops open in front of any other open window to remind me of an event happening now, much like Helen Thomas, whose diminutive frame—short and wide like the tab—doesn't limit her from making her agenda known to the 6'2" men around her and to her primary audience, the man facing her…the powerful man in front of her who must listen, patiently, and then, patiently, respond. With a finger he could silence her, but he doesn't. She is, after all, Helen Thomas, and she is the media. With a finger, he could play 'Godfinger,' the way the First Lady still is; he could fling her like a Wii character upwards of 340 metres across the White House compound landing her somewhere on Pennsylvania Avenue and she would go back to farming, and worship him, and give him Awe…but instead all his fingers rest on his keyboard—like a podium—which has become the place of finding a false equilibrium and foundation rather than dominion or even dominance.).
Speaking of Google, Reader is on another tab. I avoid looking at that grey rectangle, knowing that the lecture hall found on its window will only lure me in to discussions that will never end. I do care that Bill Gates wants to overhaul America's schools, but it's not something I have time for. I need to get dressed in twenty minutes. I spot a snippet from Arts & Letters Daily, my favorite news aggregator, that 'Economic and scientific innovation helped propel the West past the East around 1770. So did Islam. Timur Kuran explains….MORE,' where the last word is hyperlinked. It would be so…easy…to just click that four-letter word and learn from Timur about the innovation that Islam helped propel 240 years ago. I didn't know about this! And If I don't read all this stuff, I won't be like the editors who put together these aggregators, like Denis Dutton of Arts & Letters, or even Matt Drudge, or Mr. Reader himself. But I have to get dressed in 19 minutes. BBC News has '1000+' unread items. Same with Christian Science Monitor. Prior to a 2008 trip to Asia, I had signed up for the South China Morning Post to get familiarized with the issues. Now, this paper's three feeds I subscribe to (I had a choice of so many more!)—Business, Property, and Hong Kong—remind me that we are no longer on such great speaking terms, and the relationship is strained. Among the three, there are 1378 unread items. The last time I actually went through and looked at news items, I read one or two and marked the rest 'as read,' summarily dismissing the collective work of approximately fifteen thousand man-hours of journalism. (Could have been more; not sure.) If I read each item from SCMP in summary fashion—using the Reader feature of scrolling down the headlines, which move from bold to roman after a couple seconds hovering over each, I can cover perhaps a few hundred of them in an hour. It would be the 'receiving line' of getting re-acquainted: working the rope and shaking hands long enough to smile and wink and let them know I have not deleted them without acknowledging their fleeting existence.
Along the row of tabs also are articles I have not read but want to, intend to, all with lengths approaching that of a New Yorker essay, which means that these tabs are carried over from day to day until my computer restarts at 3 a.m. one night (because it needs new system software to keep up with the bandwidth I require to keep in play the items I do not address immediately). The articles that disappear when this happens are forgotten, and I am not the worse for it. They had been temporary lusts that slithered toward me, waiting to strike, and whose venom is given an antidote by Mac OS X. The next system upgrade from Cupertino should be called Mongoose.
There is a '+' sign to the right of the tabs, reminding me I can start a new conversation anytime. Invite more people to the press conference. Perhaps I do this, and the others—while they don't fall completely silent, especially not Helen Thomas in the front row, who raises her voice about every 30 minutes—are shushed by the increasing din of the current conversation. My 'Favorites' also perch in a row above the current tabs, like gargoyles, waiting to be affirmed as named. They know they will be called on at some point; that's why they're Favorites. At one time, I had the power to name them and place them there; now they with the name and position hold the power. If I delete them, I would have to find them again, or at least I'd have to email the IT guy to get the URL to access the work server remotely. This is unconscionable.
I get up from my computer to get more coffee for me and the First Lady—who is happily subduing and having dominion—but it is not quiet that I experience.
It is deafness.

Colored, and it was a bitch to color. Like 4 hours.
Colored, and it was a bitch to color. Like 4 hours.
very good coloring. Too bad it took so long.
Larken has a golden bell, not a silver one.
The last panel is even more weird in color.
I like you, David. You realize that my art is crap and rip it apart. Unlike all the sheep who feel the need to make me feel better by saying that it is good.
You have my internet respect.
That was more of a comment that even if Taeshi did it, it would be weird. There's just something about his random appearence I guess.
And at least you aren't like me and have the drawing skills of a rat.
You have lost my internet respect.
larken's head there on the last page is a bit stretchy xP. So when's he going to realise she's a mute and just rape her since she won't scream for help?
Do you like bad criticism or something?
If that's the case, Paulo's tail looks awful. It kinda looks like a 3rd... really fat limb that had it's end cut off and is scabbed up. Happy?
The art's not as good as Socks' but still better then i can curently. The only real thing i see is that your hands and porporportions are off but other then that it's quit good.
It'll take a looong while for me to get to Sock's level.
Did you really compare to Sock? I must of been dreaming the last 15 minutes then.
It will take FEREVER for me to get to Sock's level.
That was at Lark
Actually I've never commented in one of your stuff saying something about your art.
Would you like my opinion?
I'd prefer opinions over blank statements.
Ok, one thing that I find very annoying are the alien heads, I'm really serious about this one.
Start practicing some posing, go here for that http://posemaniacs.com/ . If you already know about that site, just go there, grab a pencil and a paper, and start sketching.
The hands are awful.
And last but not least, start exploring more drawing styles besides anime.
I almost forgot, you have to see this http://Coelasquid.deviantart.com/art/How-to-draw-all-sorts-of-crap-104342407
Dude, people talk about me on pictures that don't even relate to me?
You people are insane.
@Shotgun: I have been using posemaniacs. As for getting away from anime, that's what I've been trying to do. If you've seen my old stuff, they had retarded animu looks all the time. But now I drew more influence from Western cartoons and comics, especially blip and Scott Pilgrim. The only manga form that I use as an influence on my work is "Not Simple", which, to be honest, is totally different from the conventional anime/manga style.
As for my hands, I know that they are terrible. They are one of the worst things. As for the heads, I'm working on that as well. My sketchbook is filled with sketches, my notebook too, even.
So please, believe me when I say that I am working on it.
Thank you for the criticism, Wizard.
I know you are working on your stuff.
Also, I want to be honest about one draw you did some time ago. Let me search it and you'll see.
The Lucy Cervaceous Cat one? That one wasn't that too long ago.
LOL carson
Fffff Forgot to log in
pffft lolz
hahaha carson
hey thats a prize for being nice too, right?

Flooring -
Add a firm — or even a resilient — foundation
Two primary requirements for a kitchen floor are moisture resistance and durability. Resilient flooring, ceramic tile, and properly sealed hardwood or masonry are all good candidates. Resilient flooring is the simplest (and usually the least expensive) of the four to install; the other three are trickier. Tinted concrete is also catching on in high-tech sur-roundings. And don't rule out carpeting, especially the newer stain-resistant industrial versions.
Planning checkpoints
Confused by the array of flooring types available today? For help, study the flooring comparison. It's also a good idea to visit flooring suppliers and home centers; most dealers are happy to provide samples.
Beyond aesthetic considerations, you need to weigh the physical characteristics of flooring materials. Kitchen floors take a lot of wear and tear. Is your choice water resistant, durable, and easy to maintain? Is it hard to walk on, noisy, or slippery?
What about subflooring?
Don't make any final flooring decision until you know the kind of subfloor your new flooring will require.
With proper preparation, a concrete slab can serve as a base for almost any type of flooring. Other subfloors are more flexible and not suitable for rigid materials such as masonry and ceramic tile unless they are built up with extra underlayment or floor framing. But too many layers underfoot can make the new kitchen floor awkwardly higher than surrounding rooms. If in doubt, check with a building professional or a flooring dealer.
Comparing Floors
Advantages. Generally made from solid vinyl or polyurethane, resilients are flexible, moisture and stain resistant, easy to install, and simple to maintain. Another advantage is the seemingly endless variety of colors, textures, patterns, and styles available. Tiles can be mixed to form custom patterns or provide color accents. Old-fashioned linoleum and cork are back as premium-grade materials.
Sheets run up to 12 feet wide, eliminating the need for seaming in many kitchens; tiles are generally 12 inches square. Vinyl and rubber are comfortable to walk on. Prices are generally modest, but you'll pay more for custom tiles or imported products. A polyurethane finish may eliminate the need for waxing.
Disadvantages. Resilients are relatively soft, making them vulnerable to dents and tears, though such damage can often be repaired. Tiles may collect moisture between seams if improperly installed. Some vinyl still comes with a photographically applied pattern, but most is inlaid; the latter is more expensive but wears much better.
Ceramic tile
Advantages. Made from hard-fired slabs of clay, ceramic tile is available in hundreds of patterns, colors, shapes, and finishes. Its durability and easy upkeep are definite advantages.
Tiles are usually classified as quarry tile, commonly unglazed (unfinished) red-clay tiles that are rough and water resistant; terra-cotta, unglazed tiles in earth-tone shades; porcelain pavers, rugged tiles in stone-like shades and textures; and glazed floor tile, available in glossy, matte, or textured finishes and in many colors.
Floor tiles run the gamut of widths, lengths, and thicknesses — 8-inch and 12-inch squares are most plentiful. Costs range from inexpensive to moderate; in general, porcelain is most expensive. Purer clays fired at higher temperature are generally costlier but better wearing.
Disadvantages. Tile can be cold, noisy, and, if glazed, slippery underfoot. Porous tiles will stain and harbor bacteria unless properly sealed. Grout spaces can be tough to keep clean, though mildew-resistant or epoxy grout definitely helps.
Advantages. A classic hardwood floor creates a warm decor, feels good underfoot, and can be refinished. Oak is most common, with maple, birch, and other species also available.
The three basic types are narrow strips in random lengths; planks in various widths and random lengths; and wood tiles, laid in blocks or squares. Wood flooring may be factory-prefinished or unfinished, to be sanded and finished in place. «Floating» floor systems have several veneered strips atop each backing board. In addition, you'll now find «planks» and «tiles» of high-pressure plastic laminate that look surprisingly like the real thing.
Disadvantages. Moisture damage and inadequate floor substructure are two bugaboos. Maintenance is another issue; some surfaces can be mopped or waxed, some cannot. Bleaching and some staining processes may wear unevenly and are difficult to repair. Cost is moderate to high, depending on wood species, grade, and finish.
Advantages. Natural stone (such as slate, flagstone, marble, granite, and limestone) has been used as flooring for centuries. Today, its use is even more practical, thanks to the development of efficient sealers and surfacing techniques. Stone can be used in its natural shape — known as flagstone — or cut into rectangular blocks or more formal tiles. Generally, pieces are butted tightly together; irregular flagstones require wider grout joints.
Disadvantages. The cost of masonry flooring can be quite high, though recent diamond-saw technology has lowered it considerably. Moreover, the weight of the materials requires a very strong, well-supported subfloor. Some stone is cold and slippery underfoot, though new honed and etched surfaces are safer, subtler alternatives to polished surfaces. Certain stones, such as marble and limestone, absorb stains and dirt readily. Careful sealing is a must.

Hey Rick, can you give me an estimate on what a typical 850-899 shoots at Rosedale? I guess my question is should I go to Rec or the Novice. Since i have not played in a tourney besides the club championships last year I would think that I should just start at the bottom and work my way up?
is the course set for this yet?
will I still be able to sign up on Friday?
