Highlighted Excel Cell To Visual Basic 6 Code
have been trying to control Excel 2002 from within Visual Basic 6. I am working in VB6 and not in excel's VBA. I have had a liittle success opening and writing contents
to a excel cells. Now I would like to get the contents of the highlighted cell and read it back into VB 6. I would also like to put a value back into the cell that is highlighted on
a excel sheet from a visual basic 6. Note I am writing code in VB6 and not in excel VBA.
Since I am a beginer at controling excel with VB6 I would like to know about other commands that control excel 2002 from VB6. I have looked at my object browser but
have little luck using object browser to figure out excel automation commands. Maybe I don't know how to use object browser. Maybe some knows a look good website
link that describes excel VB6 commands to control excel. I would also like to
control Office access with VB6. Has anyone found any good website info on that subject? Note I am writing code in VB6 not in VBA.
Maybe I am asking the wrong question in the wrong forum because I don't know what they call the process of controling Office 2002 excel, access from Visual Basic 6?
thank you,
Changing Cell Color In Excel 2003 ~ Visual Basic 6.3
Need a little more help. Trying to write code to change the cell color in Excel 2003
, via Visual Basic 6.3. I thought the following code would work:
Sheets("PriceSummary").Range("C6:C7").Colors.ColorIndex = "Light Green"
or maybe using the color index number
Sheets("PriceSummary").Range("C6:C7").Colors.ColorIndex = "35"
Sheets("PriceSummary").Range("C6:C7").Colors.ColorIndex = 35
but doesn't happen for me.
Appreciate the assistance in advance.

Linking Global Variables To An Excel Cell
hi all
I declared some global variables in a Visual Basic project and wish to enter the value of those variables into a cell of a particular worksheet.
For example, I declared global variables, a and b. They hold the values, 5 and 10 respectively. In this sample, how can I enter a (5) into the cell A1 or b(10) into the cell B1 where let's say those cells are in a worksheet named "x" under the file "book.xls"
Thanks in advance
Looking forward to hearing from you

Linking C++ COFF OBJ Files In Visual Basic
Hey everyone, I've been recently struggling to find a solution to this problem.
Does anyone know if its possible to link a previously compiled C++ OBJ file along with Visual Basic OBJ files to produce an executable capable of utilizing procedures designed in C++?
I'm afraid I can't use a DLL, as the project must be stand-alone. However, would it be possible to configure the C++ functions defined within the OBJ file to be exported, so they could be called as regular APIs? Surely they'd have to be called dynamically with LoadLibrary and GetProcAddr, but that would hardly be an issue.
Any help and thoughts regarding this matter would be deeply appreciated.

Basic Question About Excel Macros And Visual Basic
I have a macro in Excel that takes some input on data ranges and produces charts based on the input. I want to place those charts (a number of them are generated) at a certain point in my excel worksheet. I know I can nudge it over by a certain amount but I can never tell where Excel will place them so I would like to just say "hey chart, sit here". Being able to do that in relation to cells would be great. Also, I would like to know if there is any way to resize the chart without using the percent. Once again, in realtion to cells would be great. Thanks for your help.

Recall Cell Value In Excel Into Textbox.
This may seem basic but I'm stuck!
I have an applet with a textbox and a button called update.
When you type in the textbox and click update, it puts the value typed in the textbox in nominated cell in Excel.
When I recall the applet the textbox is empty and when you click update it obviously clears the cell.
What I want to happen is for the textbox to show the value in the cell when i recall the applet.

How To Make A Textbox Reference A Cell In Excel

But I'd like to have that textbox reference cell B2 on Sheet1, so that whatever value is in Sheet1!B2 will show up in the textbox.

Running MS Excel 2000 Visual Basic In MS Excel 2002
Hi there this is my first post to the forum. I've looked all over Microsoft's website and Google but cannot find an answer to the following problem:
I have been working on a MS Excel spreadsheet that contains a number of macros and User Forms and two custom toolbars. I am working with MS Excel 2000 on a MS Windows 2000 desktop and am based in the United Kingdom. I emailed the finished spreadsheet to my colleague. She is using MS Excel 2002 on a MS Windows 2000 desktop and she is based in Montreal.
When she tried to run the spreadsheet it generated errors every time it tried to run any of the macros. The error was as follows: "Microsoft Visual Basic: Unexpected error (336) in Visual basic." Selecting help brought up further information: "Activex component not correctly registered: Error 336".
I have reported this to my company's IT support but as of yet they are not being that helpful (Visual Basic and Excel are not their strong points).
My colleague has checked to ensure that ActiveX is activated on her desktop but this has not resolved the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas what might be up here? Is it something to do with some kind of incompatibility between Excel 2000 and Excel 2002?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Rich Textbox Formatting [Visual Basic Version: 6.0]
Hello! Dear all Friends...!
I'm using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0. I'm making my first application for the document (both rich text formatted and plain text formatted) editing.
I've added too much tricks in my application e.g. Multiple Undo, Redo. Bullets as well as Numbering, Hyperlinking, Print Preview, Webpage Preview and many more... But I've some questions about Rich Textbox formatting. These are given below:
Q. 1. Is it possible to DROP CAP in Rich Textbox just like in Microsoft Office Word? Drop Cap is a feature which creates a large dropped initial capital letter of a specified paragraph. You can see this feature in Office Word.
Q. 2. How can we change the color of a Hyperlink in Rich Textbox without changing it by using custom ways e.g. SelForeColor property? (Changing the Default Blue Color of a Hyperlink to some one else)?
Q. 3. Is is possible to insert Mathematic Symbols e.g. Under roots, Squared, Greater or Lesser than, Integration, Derivation or else in Rich Textbox?
Q. 4 . In a table of Rich Textbox (table made by custom means in rich textbox), is it possible to sort it alphabetically?
Q. 5. How can I insert a line and a Break in a Rich Textbox?
Q. 6. Is it possible in Rich Textbox to add RTF Bookmarks in it?
Q. 7. How can we convert RTF code to HTML code?
Q. 8. Can we change the background of Rich Textbox? Not only the BackColor of Rich TextBox, to insert or set the Background Bitmap in Rich Textbox?
Please tell the answer to my questions. I'll be very thankful to you all, for this act of kindness!!!

Visual Basic And Excel
I have recently encountered a problem with populating an excel spreadsheet with VB6. I can load the data into Excel from a SQL Server 2000 machine without any problems through the VB code. But the sad thing is that now I need to format the data in excel. The reason being there are a lot of columns and they go off the paper when you are trying to print it.
Couple of questions:
1. Can you change the page setup of an Excel app through VB?
i.e., orientation, margins, etc...
2. Change the font of the rows in Excel?
2. Are there any other alternatives?
Thanks and appreciate all your help

EXCEL To Visual Basic !
Hi all together! Ok, ill roll it up fast:
I have to code an application which manages the printing of data out of an excel sheet - in special ways and with some extras making it possible to stop and pause the printer and stuff like that.
What i need now, is to know, what the best way is, to load an excel sheet into Visual Basic. I tried common FlexGrid control stuff in combination with the Excel 9.0 Object Library. It did work but it does work too slow.
I have an example usage .xls-file from the company who wants the program and it has (!!!) over 3500 rows and 11 columns, which makes a loading time of 12 centuries.
So please, people from around this planet, if you can - help me - and i will help you when needed - if i can.
Thanks & kindest regards.
Cheers, Leo
Visual Basic & Excel
I would like to know if i can create an array of Excel Worksheets and write data into them from Visual Basic 6.0 .
If yes then i would like to know the steps that should be followed to do the same.
OLE, Excel, Visual Basic...
My app runs, does the excel stuff, but when I try to quit Excel, it causes Excel to Crash. heres the code:
Dim obj As Object
frmCustomView.OLE1.CreateEmbed "F:MasterExported.xls", "Excel.Sheet"
Set obj = frmCustomView.OLE1.object
frmCustomView.ccrpProgressBar1.Increase 10
'On Error GoTo ErrSub
'With obj
obj.Application.Visible = True
'If the file already exists, open it. Otherwise error out.
If fileExists("F:MasterExported.xls") Then
obj.Application.Workbooks.Open "F:MasterExported.xls", , False
MsgBox "Error:", vbOKOnly, "Database not exported!"
GoTo ExitMe
End If
'Setup the Master Dababase to display right
If Not ExportAll Then obj.Application.Range("A1") = "Complex Name"
obj.Sheets("Master").PageSetup.PrintTitleColumns = "$A:$A"
obj.Sheets("Master").PageSetup.PrintTitleRows = "$1:$1"
obj.Windows(1).FreezePanes = True
obj.Application.Range("$1:$1").RowHeight = "45.00"
obj.Application.Range("$1:$1").Font.Bold = True
obj.Application.Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
obj.Application.Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
'Set all the borders in the master database to thin lines
For i = 7 To 12
With obj.Application.Selection.Borders(i)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
Next i
'Change the color of the first row
obj.Application.Range("$1:$1").Interior.ColorIndex = 15
'Make the columns as wide as the widest cell in the column
'Close the workbooks and Quit Excel
'obj.Application.Interactive = False
obj.Application.Workbooks("Exported.xls").Close True
Set obj = Nothing
It causes Excel to crash at the end, at "obj.Application.Quit".
Any Ideas?
Excel Visual Basic
I am developing a program for certain types of users and I want the program to start running as soon as the file is opened. I have tried, however, I feel that I am getting close.
I would also like to know how to prompt the user the enter a "Save as..." file name and have that name be used to save the file with the click of a command button.
I am using Excel 97. It would be wise to just cut and paste any sample that you may have. Sending files may or may not be permitted within the BGE IT Security Range. Please respond as soon as your time is available, thank you.
Using Excel By Visual Basic
I got a question about the use of Visual Basic at Excel.
I want a program (or script) made with Visual Basic (i think this is the best way to do it), which does the following:
Select an excelfile (using a pop-up screen), a startdate and enddate (and puts this start- and enddate in the just selected excelfile). Excel calculates using the new dates,l like excel always does when data is refreshed. Than the program must save the "new" file using the filename plus the date (for example: comp.xls is one of the files you can pick in the pop-up screen, and the file will be saved as: comp060702_070702.xls) and then prints the file.
Can anyone help me with this?
Visual Basic And Excel.
Hello there, it is my first post here (*'-'),
and I 'll already begin to break your balls xD. In fact, for work I have to develop an application handling excel files. No troubles I manage. However at a point I have to check all fields from a column with all possible possibilities, which are in another excel file (and later add them if necessary).
Ok, simple.. double loop and that's it. However the process is extremely slow. Ok I have 1700+ thing to check 100 times lol, but is there another way to make it smoother? (my personal opinion is no, but I really want to make it sure).
Here is my code:
'Check brand
Set eWorkSheet1 = exl.Worksheets(2)
If Form2.Check1 = "1" Then
i = 2
a = a + 5
While eWorkSheet.Cells(i, 5) <> "" 'cell of the first sheet i have to cjeck
u = False
b = 2
While eWorkSheet1.Cells(b, 1) <> "" And u = False
If eWorkSheet.Cells(i, 5) = eWorkSheet1.Cells(b, 1) Then 'cheking with the other workbook
u = True
End If
b = b + 1
If u = False Then
If eWorkSheet.Cells(i, 6) > 2000 Then 'oh yeah in case its a new brand i took note of it only if we sell a lot from it
eWorkSheet2.Cells(a, 1) = "The brand " & eWorkSheet.Cells(i, 5) & " for " & eWorkSheet.Cells(i, 6) & " pieces is not known; please check it on row " & i & "." 'then I write what to check in another file
a = a + 1
End If
End If
i = i + 1
End If
Print "Brands checked"
As you can see, it is the most simple way to do it which I was taught like my second week I was in school, but could we do faster?
New To Visual Basic, Need Help For Excel
I am working at a company where we make glossaries by hand by taking a Word document that has roughly 500 words and deleting out the unnecessary terms. I would like to create a macro in Excel that will automatically pull the correct terms and then add on the definition to the end of the term so we don't have to spend 2 hours deleting out terms and praying we do not miss one.
I was thinking of making some sort of statement like:
If cell=mild, then change cell to = mild - definition
How would I put that into Visual Basic talk for Excel 2003?
Also, there are terms that are bolded that I need to delete out of the list. Is there something I can write in that says if cell is bold then delete it from the spreadsheet?
One last question, how do I exclude cells based on their formatting? I made a macro that will auto-run TRIM on a spreadsheet, but it will mess up cells formatted as time. How would I exclude these cells?
Thank you all a lot for any help you can provide. I wish there was an English to Visual Basic dictionary because I would love to learn about this program. I know what I need to do, I just lack the language to accomplish my goals.

Excel In Visual Basic
I am creating an excel report in Visual Basic. I want to get the average of some cells . so i should use the formula for cell
this is what i have written. the first one give me the sum of fields and the other one gives me the average of cells. but i should be careful about the count of cells.if it is 0 the value 0 should be returned else the average should be return
WS1.Cells(i, 33).Formula = "=sum(B5:AF5)"
WS1.Cells(i, 34).Formula = "=IF(COUNT(B5:AF5)>0;AVERAGE(B5:AF5);0)"
but it gives me the error. "Applicatio-defined or Object defined Error"
I am sure that this formula "=IF(COUNT(B5:AF5)>0;AVERAGE(B5:AF5);0)"
is correct because it gives the correct answer when i enter it to excell cell manually . but not by programming
any onen can help me?

Visual Basic Excel Help Please
I am new to visual basic and I guess that what I am asking can be a very easy thing to do but not for me.
I am trying to get the value of the cell of a closed workbook2.xls inside an activated workbook1. But I cannot do that unless workbook2 is also running (inactivated).
I want to get this value though without having to open workbook2. If thats impossible can I open workbook2 just by typing some code inside workbook1?
The command I am using at the moment is
Range("A1").Value = Workbooks("WorkBook2.xls").Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
I would really appreciate any ideas you offer me thank you very much...

Basically, I need my VB code to detect if there is a change in time > 00:03:00 (this needs to result in a insert row and delete all rows in between) or if the date column changes, again insert row needs to occur. In the above example, the code would be formatted to...
I hope I havent lost anyone well at the moment it works but appears to be buggy, rows inserted when not needed, rows not deleted when they should be. I was wondering if anyone can give me any piointers from the following code.

Reblogged from: http://blogs.dallasobserver.com
Oliver Peck's annual tattoo feats on Friday the 13th are already the stuff of legend and record (he's literally in the Guinness book for it). But this year marks the start of a huge development for the event: It will now be a tattoo AND music festival, and Reverend Horton Heat will co-present alongside Peck. The festival goes from Friday, September 13 to Sunday, September 15, and tickets are on sale now. They're $20 for a one-day pass, $40 for a weekend pass or $100 for VIP, which includes access to a "private club" on Elm Street.

Website Monetization Can be Good for SEO
Website monetization can be good for SEO… You probably think I'm talking nonsense, but you will change your mind by the end of the article. We already talked about basic types of website monetization, so you should have a clear idea of what monetization is and how to implement it. If you are new just take a look at the right side of the blog, you will see ads and banners, when someone clicks or makes a purchase by following these links I earn some cash, which is the basic of website monetization. You click on the ads and I make money, sounds cool, but it is not as simple as that, but if you know what you are doing you will not only be able to earn some money, but you will also be able to increase your SEO efforts and reach new heights with organic traffic, let's see how you can achieve that.
So what is the basic of monetization with affiliates and adsense, you have links on your website that point to other websites, right? That is the catch… Still not getting it? OK, you are linking to other websites, if you do that properly you will be linking to highly popular and most importantly, relevant websites. In some cases your website might even get featured on the websites you are linking to, that usually happens if you are a new affiliate or a top affiliate so your website is featured, with that you get a nice link back to your website. All of that adds to your profits and traffic levels.
The bottom line, affiliate marketing and various types of advertising on your site can have cool benefits, but if you are not careful they might also have negative effects, remember that Google doesn't look too kindly on paid links, but in the end that can only affect your Page Rank which is not that important, but it will not affect your rankings in the SERP.
Adsense is a great way to get some highly targeted links going from your site, but in order to achieve that you need to write targeted posts that will attract the right type of ads. If you do it poorly the ads might e irrelevant, which can harm your website.
My personal favorite is affiliate marketing as you can choose which products and what type of service you feature on your blog or website, so you can basically choose who you link to. Again, in order to make the monetization and the SEO aspect work for you, you need to have a good SEO plan that will clearly state what you want to achieve with certain type of monetization.
Crucial things you need to consider when choosing the monetization strategy for your blog or website:
The most important thing you need to take into account is your visitors and what they will expect to see on your blog. We have all developed ad blindness, so most people will simply ignore the ads on your blog. The only way I will notice an ad is if I am looking for something specific, and so will most of the users, so what is that something specific. Taking my blog into consideration you will see that all of the ads are somewhat natural for my blog; I have a banner for SEO services, two banners for web hosting, mail chimp which is an auto responder, a very important tool for internet marketing and website success and a banner for my personal toolbar.
The next step to consider is in regards to your blog or website design, what is better suited, text ads or graphic ads like banners. You need to consider the overall look of your website and how those ads fit into the picture.
The last part you need to consider is what will influence your SEO efforts in the best way. You improve your SEO efforts by gaining links from relevant and popular websites, be sure to use monetization types that are pretty much consistent with your overall SEO efforts. Also consider what are the benefits of having certain ads on your blog besides making money from it.
What you need to aim for is pleasing your users and your community; always aim to provide something that will be useful for your visitors. You will never see me promoting a banner for casinos or Forex. You also need to consider the placement, but that falls under fitting the ads into your design. In the end you will probably have to experiment a bit to see what works best for your blog. If you aim your SEO plan towards providing the best content, services and products for your visitors you will eventually find the right combination that will get you higher profit, higher traffic and better rankings in the SERP.

9 Response to Website Monetization Can be Good for SEO
Internet marketing on October 4, 2010
Well great idea i have picked about Website monetization, which is the good form for SEO website.If you want a plan to monetize website than these points are very effective.
Zarko on October 4, 2010
Thanks, this is a really effective SEo method, most people don't realize the possibilities they have with their blog and what they can use to increase traffic on their website, this is just one example.
lawmacs on October 4, 2010
This is another well written article from an expert Zarko i must say your blog looks good and all the ads blend in those everything seems right as with seo and monetization you made a vluable point the two can compliment each other and as you try to monetise then the more we will push our seo effort.
Fran Aslam on October 4, 2010
Hi Zarko:
Nice blog post you have here. It is the topic that have different opinions by bloggers. However, I feel that blog has to look presentable to give a good impression. For that too many colors (to me) give a confusing image. But still making money is also very important. So, I feel placing ads from popular sites is just fine and helps the blog in two ways, little bit of money and link. But even today, I know some people who do not like ads to their sites saying that it takes away the visitors attention.
So, in other words You have to do what you feel is good. And I feel displaying ads is really good. as I mentioned earlier.
So make it a good day for yourself
Fran Aslam
Zarko on October 4, 2010
Thanks Lawmacs, the two go hand to hand for some. Fran made an excellent point.
"I know some people who do not like ads to their sites saying that it takes away the visitors attention. "
That can be true, there are certain type of websites and blog I would never recommend to use affiliate links, that might hurt their business. but this applies for blogs and websites that sell their own product, for people like us who have informational blogs that offer knowledge this is the perfect choice.
In the end, the only reason why a person will leave your blog is because the blog was not satisfying to them or the ad offered them something better, so they can bitch all they want about banners getting visitors attention, if you provide valuable content no banner will sway them off it
Nab@blondinbella on January 23, 2011
Well, website monetization is the only thing that is good for SEO. It's basically what SEO is all about.
I mean, what's the point of getting thousands of visitors to your website, but not using some kind of CTA? It's like getting a thousands people to come to your party – yet there's no music playing. There has got to be some kind of action. Don't you think?
Think about it.

Zarko, this is a well written article. I agree on your points and I do think that affiliate marketing is a better choice if you were to choose between adsense and aff. marketing. To see good results, I agree, you need to focus on high quality and on popular websites. The buzz will spread like wildfire and you will find your website gain in rankings due to the back links that you get from these popular websites. Excellent post and hope that everyone will start implementing this now…

The Parrot CK3100 combines a simple, easy to use control interface with a good voice-recognition system to provide drivers with easy hands-free calling on the road.
The Eclipse CD3100 is a car stereo for drivers interested in fine-tuning their in-cabin acoustics. Its digital-audio playback and navigation features are intuitive and user-friendly. Its turn-by-turn navigation feature is not.
Pricing not available
For $79.99, you're better off buying a cheaper wireless keyboard than the Adesso WKB-3100UB--one that uses encryption and has a longer battery life for your sofa Web-surfing and portable-typing needs.
The Sanyo SCP-3100 has a solid feature set that belies its simple exterior. While it may not be the most attractive phone, the SCP-3100's Ready Link support, VGA camera, voice recording, speakerphone, and great audio quality add up to a decent midtier mobile.
The Kyocera Rio brings Cricket customers another touch-screen choice, though music fans will likely seek a different handset.
The Parrot 3200 LS Color combines everything we like about previous Parrot devices--including a simple control interface and a great voice recognition system--with a striking color display. The result is an attractive, easy to use aftermarket hands-free calling device.
Though we still really like Panasonic's GF series, there are several trade-offs to take into account before you buy the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2. Its raw-format images look extremely good, but JPEG shooters looking for best-possible photo quality may get frustrated by image artifacts. And while lots of photographers will appreciate its relatively compact but functional design and zippy performance--though still not for action shooting--there's nothing special about its feature set, including underpowered video capture.
The Parrot CK3000 Evolution is a cost-effective, feature-rich hands-free calling system. Its simple design masks some very easy to use options, including a great voice-command interface.
Xact XTR3CK Visor (Sirius)
It costs a bit more than we'd like, but the Galaxy Tab 3 is Samsung's best non-Note tablet yet.

After an uneventful week one, I'm back for more guessing. This week introduce the embarrassment factor. If a team plays like a bunch of little girls the week prior, they will undoubtedly play harder the following week. As it turns out, because they were beat so badly, the line tends to be inflated, so it is a win win which will hopefully become a win win win.
First pick: 13.5 points is a huge number to cover in the NFL. You could be up 20 points only to have a last minute touchdown against a prevent defense turn the tide against the spread. I like Buffalo to cover the huge margin against the Packers.
So much for 13.5 points being a huge number. If the Packers do keep up their early dominance, Vegas will do to them what they did to the Patriots when they went 16-0. Keep increasing the spread so things balance out.
2nd pick: I like the Chargers -7 against the Jaguars. First of all, the Jags have to make a cross country trip to San Diego, and they looked competent against the Broncos, but not necessarily good. Expect the Chargers to bounce back from a frustrating performance against the Chiefs.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner. I was right about the Jaguars traveling across the country, though I'm not sure it makes much of a difference.
In my pride picks:
Oakland -3.5: The Raiders should never be bet on because they are completely unpredictable. Since it's not my money, put the cash on the Raiders.
Loser, loser, cup o ramen dinner. The Raiders won, but by two miserable points.
San Francisco +6: A fiery coach plus lackluster performance equal a miserable week of practice. Expect the Niners to come out and play hard… for the sake of self preservation.
Winner, but that kick was blocked. I can't believe it still went through. What's funny is that if it wasn't tipped, it might not have gone through the uprights because it looked like it was headed wide left.
I also like the Redskins to upset the Texans, but this is my stay away pick, because it could quite literally go either way.
I would call and overtime game where both teams have the ball a game that could go either way
Final analysis on the week, 2-2 which puts me on par with a coin.

Great and Fast. I order a part, received it a day before my local retailer could get it and at a ninth of the price. Order another part 2 days later-same thing. Really. This place is great.
I called the sales department and they were very helpful in making sure my part was in stock and getting it sent out the same day. Less than 24 hours later I had the part in my hand. Great prices, great service, I could not recommend more.

(This is part of the AJC's "30 in 30″ series — with quick hits on top high school football teams across the metro area and state during spring football practice. We're doing 30 football teams in 30 days. What about spring sports? Click here)
Norcross High, which has had only two 10-win seasons in the last 15 years, could be one of the darkhorses in Class AAAAA next year.
Norcross will be in an all-Gwinnett region, along with powerhouses Peachtree Ridge and North Gwinnett, and returns lots of talent.
The Blue Devils will have one of the metro's top defensive lines — anchored by Ben Bradley (6-foot-1, 270 lbs.), who has an early offer from South Carolina, and end Demetrius Alston (6-3, 230), who holds scholarship papers from Mississippi State.
Maybe the best news is the return of quarterback Matt Poole, who suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in last year's opener. He will be joined in the backfield by tailback Kenny Huitt (rushed more than 700 yards despite sharing carries) and bruising fullback Seth Hinsley (finished among Gwinnett's top five tacklers while also starting at LB).
The biggest need for Norcross is along the offensive line, which lost four starters. The Blue Devils have a lot of talented youngsters competing for spots — including Montorois Broughton, Danny Danh, Hampton Floyd, and Kristopher Beaucamp.
At wide receiver, Jamal Jenkins and Jason Croom will be asked to take on bigger roles.
Hinsely needs some partners at linebacker, with Burke Cobble, Tanner Maloof and Markell Brooks the top candidates.
Team: Norcross Blue Devils
Spring Game: 6 p.m., May 14
Spring practice dates: May 3-14
Last year's record: 5-5
Starters lost: 10
Head coach: Keith Maloof

Who is your pick for the Region 7-AAAAA championship and why?
May 6th, 2010
9:43 am
When are we gonna see and article on North Forsyth. This team will be very good in 2010 as they drop from region 7-AAAAA to region 6-AAAAA. They lost 6 starters but all these positons have great back-ups that will be able to fill in and posiibly help the Raiders to a region championship.
May 6th, 2010
9:44 am
…and the fact that they beat Norcross.
May 6th, 2010
10:51 am
The most underacheiving team in high school football. Poor coaching!!
May 6th, 2010
11:17 am
Peachtree Ridge will be the 1, North Gwinnett the 2, Norcross at 3 and Collins Hill in the 4 slot for playoff seedings….you read it here first.
May 6th, 2010
12:33 pm
Slinger you are wrong on the seeding. Collins hill will not make the playoffs this year. They lost too much from last year. I am telling everyone to keep their eye on mill creek to make the playoffs this year. They have a very favorable schedule and they have all the skill positions returning and most of the defense.
North will get the 1 seed, P'tree ridge will get the 2 seed and then norcross and mill creek will fight it out for the 3 and 4 seed.
nfraiders you are so wrong. North Forsyth has a sorry team. I worked a few or their games last year and if you have any sort of speed you will win or if you have good line play you win. the only way NF wins is when they play other sorry teams.
May 6th, 2010
3:00 pm
This will be a exciting year in this Region. Probably pay back for some teams comming of a down year. Buckle up, and hold on tight….
May 6th, 2010
7:09 pm
nfraiders, Hawk: Being switched from perennially brutal 7-AAAAA to a nowhere nearly as rugged 6-AAAAA might help aid North Forsyth as they try to improve. I don't know if they can continue to build off of last year's success, but getting out of Region 7-AAAAA can only help. There's a big difference between playing a region schedule of Alpharetta, Centennial, Milton, Roswell, Northview and West Forsyth and one that includes North Gwinnett, Peachtree Ridge, Collins Hill, Mill Creek, Norcross, Mountain View (which isn't quite your father's second-year expansion team if last year's out-of-region first-year successes prove to be real), etc. Don't get me wrong, teams like Alpharetta, Milton, West Forsyth and, especially, Roswell, ain't exactly pushovers, but overall, teams in 6-AAAAA aren't nearly as overloaded with pure athletes as teams in 7-AAAAA perennially are.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but North Forsyth also runs that triple-option spread offense (the Veer offense), doesn't it? Running that Veer-option helps NF compete with teams that have alot more overall talent. I can't recall that coach's name, but he's did a helluva job in getting a perennially overmatched NF team to a winning record at 7-4 and a playoff berth in a region as tough as 7-AAAAA.
As for Norcross, the reason why they didn't make the playoffs last year wasn't for lack of talent as the Devils were loaded at many positions many times over, especially the skill positions, but because of somewhat sour chemistry and bad karma amongst the some of the team's seniors and their parents who had come up in the program. That class of seniors had problems back into middle school and Pop Warner as sometimes their coaches couldn't always quite communicate and lead for all of the bickering and arguing amongst players, parents, etc in that particular group. The bad chemistry manifested itself in the team's poor special teams play early on as the Devils struggled to catch punts and kicks which put the defense in bad field position situations many times over during their 1-3 start.
With that group of players graduated, I look for Norcross to get back into the playoff hunt, though the O-line could be a problem if it doesn't jell into a cohesive unit early on as needed.
May 7th, 2010
7:50 am
Preachtree Ridge Fans are predicting a donwn year. 5-5 with a little luck. They may struggle to get the fourth seed. Look for North followed by Norcross, with Collins Hills, PR and Mill Creek fighting it out for the last two spots.
Non region schedules for PR an CH are very difficult this year and could hurt the confidence of a young team.

The 'Cross is Boss ..where's my whellbarrow?

North Forsyth got it up the ass from lassiter… Gwinnett cant play football
May 7th, 2010

Region 1-AAAAA Colquitt County is the team to watch closely this upcoming football season. I can see them being the Region 1-AAAAA Champions this year.
May 7th, 2010
1:47 pm
Class AAAA is loaded with some great Football teams this year as of the New Re Classification. Defending State Campions Sandy Creek had better watchout. This will be one of the toughest Post Season Playoffs in Class AAAA since the 80's when there no AAAAA classfication.

Hopefully Maloof can get out of the way enough to get these boys to play up to their potential

For those that are selling Collins Hill short, they are still Mill Creek's daddy, no matter the sport.
May 9th, 2010
8:53 pm
I graduated from Norcross and have to agree that Norcross has always underachieved. However, Coach Maloof is certainly not to blame. The Devils underachievement started long before he arrived. I wish Coach Maloof and this year's crop of Blue Devils the best of luck.
May 14th, 2010
7:42 pm
Can anyone say 3-PEAT
May 14th, 2010
7:54 pm
Most of the starters on this team would back, for the 2011 and 2012 season also. Our QB in waiting, Brice Ramsey will play in the SEC trust me only a sophmore and he is ready to play. The Coaching staff is developing and getting our young very talented players ready with good significate playing time. So when its thier time, they're ready to step in and play. Those kids played good minutes during our last two Championship seasons, you get mad sometimes as a fan, because our kids dont get the stats, because some are only playing a half or in close games they're getting shuffled in and out, but the staff is preparing for the next season at the same time, and it really shows.
May 17th, 2010
4:20 pm
Gwinnett Fan, 5-5 with a little luck? We are a much better team than that, may I suggest you come and see the spring game this Saturday?
May 18th, 2010
4:19 pm
The article on Norcross must have been written by one of the Mom's. Besides the extremely talented names mentioned the following were overlooked-McWilliams Linebacker/fullback, Coleman Receiver and Earhardt d end and d tackle. All college bound. Norcross wil prevail this year

You Are Not a Stranger Hereby Adam Haslett
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The publication of "Notes to My Biographer," in Zoetrope: All-Story magazine introduced readers to the remarkable voice of Adam Haslett. Nominated as part of a National Magazine Award, broadcast on National Public Radio, performed at venues across the country, the story brought the author widespread recognition.
Now, in his first book, Adam Haslett gives us nine richly varied stories, each suffused with intense emotion and written in a lyric prose alternatively lush and spare. You Are Not a Stranger Here carries its readers into the hearts and minds of people facing life's most profound dilemmas. We meet an aging inventor still burning with ideas as he makes a final visit to his gay son. A psychiatrist's encounter with a reluctant patient reveals a young doctor's own needs and fears. An orphaned boy finds solace in a classmate's violence. The return of an old lover disturbs the peace between a brother and sister who have lived together for decades.
In settings that range from New England to Great Britain, from Los Angeles to the American West, the stories in this book treat what Faulkner called the old verities and truths of the heart: love and honor, pity and pride, compassion and sacrifice. They do so with heartbreaking precision and an often generous humor, drawing us past the surface of characters' lives into the moments of decision and recognition that shape them irrevocably. Together these stories constitute a significant achievement by a powerful new writer.

Jim Karas with personal training client Hugh Jackman
Updated: October 21, 2012 1:22PM
About a year ago, one of my most beloved staff members died suddenly. John was a true character, and those of you who knew him or of him will agree, but his passion for excellence and commitment to his clients was truly remarkable.
At his memorial service, many of us learned that John had a points system and we ALL were rated — clients, fellow trainers and yours truly. I have to say we were a little shocked, but at the same time, intrigued.
Here's how it worked: You would receive a point for arriving at your training session on time, but unfortunately would lose a point if you had a bad attitude. You would receive a point if you hit your monthly weight goal, but lose a point if you celebrated with a 27-ounce porterhouse steak.
I was just thinking about the point system the other day while lifting weights (that's when I get my best ideas — it must be a combination of the oxygen going to my brain, the adrenaline and the concentration) when a split screen of Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama popped on the TV. "Hmmm," I wondered, how would the boys do on John's point system? So, I've decided to put them to the test.
According to information gathered on the web, Obama is 6-foot-1, 181 pounds. Romney is 6-foot-2, 197 pounds. Both possess 34-inch waists, so I would give them each a point.
Both of them exercise (another point) — Romney on the elliptical, and Obama plays basketball, but neither of them lifts weights. You know how I know neither of them lifts weights? By the size and shape of their, um, "Kim Kardashian." Yep, I'm rating the candidates' butts. I'm going to go so far as to say that it may determine the winner. Look, it's not new information, but women will decide this election. Therefore, he with the better booty may be crowned the winner.
I took the time to ask a few friends and clients what they thought of the gentlemen's respective "tight ends." Here are two of my favorite comments:
"OMG, what was up with those 'daddy' jeans Obama wore to throw out the first pitch? Bad. Michelle, don't let your man go out looking like that." Result — point deduction.
"Mitt's [rear] has no shape, no size, kinda nothing, flat, possibly flabby." Result — also a point deduction.
So, they are in a dead heat. I don't mean to brag, but my clients sport some of the best butts in this city. FYI, Hugh Jackman has been a client for almost 10 years and I ask you: Doesn't that boy know how to rock a pair of jeans?

Bright medium ruby. Blacker and more medicinal than the 2011 Malbec Terroir, with a note of reduction to the blackberry and licorice aromas. Then juicier and more delineated in the mouth, offering good intensity and lift to the dark fruit, licorice and mineral flavors. There's a bit of porty chocolate here but this wine boasts good energy and depth. Finishes firm and bright, with serious tannic spine and noteworthy length. Less easygoing today than the Terroir bottling.

A major objective of community or habitat type classifications is the development and extrapolation of information on management problems and development potential. Because areas identified as belonging to the same habitat type are viewed as having comparable environments, responses to specific management practices should be similar. Hence, it is reasonable to extrapolate management experience or research results from one area of the same habitat type to another.
Qualitative data on characteristics relevant to management, such as productivity and soil drainage, were collected during the development of the habitat type classification at Mount Rainier. Although quantitative information and detailed studies of effects of various practices or uses stratified by habitat type would be desirable, the qualitative data provide some guidance on the potential of different habitat types for Park use and development.
Some characteristics of the Mount Rainier habitat types relevant to National Park Service management are summarized in Table 20. Each characteristic will be discussed briefly in the following paragraphs. The reader should note that these are broad, qualitative characterizations. Detailed, quantitative data on management characteristics of community types, such as productivity and wildlife potential, are being collected on the Gifford Pinchot and Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest lands adjacent to the Park (Henderson and Peter 1981, Brockway et al. 1983). This large body of information should be generally applicable to the community types within the Park.
Physical Conditions
The three factors considered under physical conditions are length of growing season, soil drainage, and depth and duration of snowpack. These features are obviously relevant to management, for appraising the development potential of a particular site for a campground or trail, for example.
Table 20. Management-related features of the various forest habitat types at Mount Rainier National Park.
Growing season can be measured in a variety of ways, but one common method in the Pacific Northwest is a scheme for summing temperatures over a given threshold, referred to as the "growing season temperature growth index" (GSTGI) (Greene and Klopsch 1985). Temperature data gathered from a few stands (Greene and Klopsch 1985) allow us to scale the qualitative ratings shown in Table 20: long growing seasons have GSTGI values of from 55 to 65, medium growing seasons have values from 40 to 60, and short growing seasons have values from 25 to 50. Note that any measure of growing season, whether by temperature growth index or frost-free period, will vary substantially from year to year. Sites with long and medium growing seasons typically have over 290 frost-free days, whereas those with short growing seasons have 200 to 290 days (Greene and Klopsch 1985).
Soil-drainage ratings are based on observations of conditions within soil pits dug in each habitat type. Excessive drainage indicated coarse-textured soils that have low water-holding capacity; droughty conditions are normally expected on such sites. Well-drained sites have no features suggesting poor or excessive soil drainage. Poorly drained soils have morphological features indicating poor drainage, such as gleyed soil horizons, and soil pits sometimes contained standing water due to perched water tables.
Three ratings are provided for depth and duration of snowpack (Table 20). Tsuga heterophylla habitat types are shown as having an intermittent snowpack; that is, the snowpack will typically come and go during the course of a normal winter. The bulk of the Abies amabilis Zone has a moderate snowpack, a permanent winter snowcover that will typically reach depths of 1 to 2 m. Deep snowcover refers to areas with a permanent winter snowpack that attains depths of 2 to 5 m or more and persists until late June or July. Approximate values for average winter snow depth can be obtained by observing the growth of lichens on tree trunks; most of the larger foliose species are unable to grow at heights where they are subject to extensive snow burial.
Biological Conditions
Factors rated under biological conditions are productivity, plant diversity, potential for specialized wildlife, and occurrence of specimen trees or groves (Table 20).
Site productivity can be indexed in a variety of ways, but the only quantitative measure available from this study is site index, the height to which dominant trees grow during a given period of time. All of the habitat types with high or very high productivity ratings are on moist to wet sites at low to middle elevations (Table 20); productivity generally approximates a Site Class I or II for Pseudotsuga and Class I for Abies procera. Sites of medium productivity approximate a Site Class III or IV for Pseudotsuga and II and III for Abies procera. Low productivity sites approximate a Pseudotsuga Site Class V or Abies procera Site Class IV. Productivity is so low on the Pseudotsuga menziesii/Arctostaphylos uva-ursi sites that forests often lack a closed tree canopy.
Plant diversity ratings are based on the numbers of vascular plant species typically found within forest stands growing on each habitat type. Moist, lower elevation habitats typically contain the largest number of species. In at least some other parts of the Northwest, dry habitats also tend to have high diversity (e.g., Zobel et al. 1976); this is not the case at Mount Rainier, where the driest forest habitats are typically the depauperate Gaultheria shallon types (Table 20). Relatively high species diversity is also encountered on the Chamaecyparis nootkatensis/Vaccinium ovalifolium Habitat Type, which typically includes boggy areas within a forest matrix. Very rich, meadow-like communities characterize early successional stages on the Abies amabilis/Rubus lasiococcus Habitat Type; the diversity of these communities contrasts with the moderate levels of diversity typical of closed forest stands on the same habitat type.
Special wildlife features considered include occurrence of old-growth species, winter habitat for ungulates (elk and deer), and habitat for amphibians (Table 20). Temperate old-growth forests in the Pacific Northwest have been identified as the preferred (and, in some cases, essential) habitat for an array of bird, mammal (including bat), and amphibian species (Franklin et al. 1981). Much of the forest at low to middle elevations within Mount Rainier National Park is excellent habitat for these old-growth-related wildlife. Extensive areas of appropriate age classes and forest structures are present, and suitable habitat types included the very widespread Abies amabilis/Vaccinium alaskaense type. Detailed studies of vertebrate populations in old-growth as well as younger forests are currently underway and should provide much additional information on their distribution within the Park. The most prominent winter habitats for ungulates are the productive, valley-bottom habitat types, although the relatively warm and dry Tsuga heterophylla/Gaultheria shallon habitat also receives considerable use. Amphibians are most common on habitat types normally associated with water bodies that are essential to their reproduction.
Trees or groves of trees of unusual size and age are of special interest to the visitor; these usually occur in old-growth stands on high productivity habitat types (Table 20). The Oplopanax and Polystichunn habitats are primary sites for outstanding specimens of Pseudotsuga nnenziesii and Thuja plicata, for example (Fig. 39). The largest Tsuga heterophylla and Abies amabilis will also be found there. Superlative specimens of Abies procera are encountered on the Abies amabilis/Tiarella Habitat Type. Some of the most impressive specimens of Chamaecyparis nootkatensis will actually be found on a low productivity habitat type, the Abies amabilis/Rhododendron albiflorum (Table 20). Specimen trees are also found on the very widespread Abies amabilis/Vaccinium alaskaense Habitat Type.
Potential for Disturbances
Potential disturbances to forests from wildfire, insects and plant diseases, and wind vary by habitat type (Table 20).
Important correlations may exist between fire frequency and habitat type as discussed in the previous chapter (Table 20) (Hemstrom 1982). Low-risk habitat types are those occurring on moist habitats that are, in turn, generally located in valley-bottom environments. These include the two Oplopanax, Polystichum, and Vaccinium alaskaense Habitat Types. Habitat types that characterize warmer, drier environmental conditions, such as the Gaultheria, Berberis, and Xerophyllum types, have substantially higher fire frequencies. Most of the high-elevation types have moderate levels of fire risk. The Abies lasiocarpa/Valeriana sitchensis Community Type is a significant exception; this community has the highest fire frequency (275 years) of any type studied in the Park (Hemstrom 1982).
Many forest insects and plant diseases will probably prove to be correlated with vegetation types once detailed studies have been conducted. Little information is currently available, however (Table 20). Gaultheria habitats were noted as having high levels of dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium spp.), especially in the Tsuga heterophylla. Some other habitats appeared to have higher levels of bark beetles (Dendroctonus spp.) in Pinus spp. and Pseudotsuga menziesii.
Natural windthrow is highest on habitat types that have moist to wet soils. Uprooting of trees has been observed as common on permanent sample plots in Oplopanax types (see footnote 3). Sites with high water tables at high elevations are also more vulnerable to uprooting.
Development Potential
Habitat types are rated for development potential (e.g., camping areas and trails) on the basis of their resistance and resilience. Resistance refers to the ability of a habitat to tolerate human impacts, such as trampling, without undergoing major changes in community composition and structure. Resistance generally reflects the "toughness" of the vegetative cover. Resilience refers to the ability of vegetation on a habitat to recover once it has been destroyed or severely disrupted. Resilience often reflects the inherent productivity of a habitat.
Communities on high productivity sites dominated by herbaceous understories (TSHE/OINYM, TSHE/ACTR, and ABAM/TIUN) tend to have low resistance and high resilience. Understories are easily damaged by human use due to the fragility of many species but have inherently high rates of recovery. The Oplopanax communities are somewhat more resistant to use because of durable shrub layers that also tend to discourage human movement.
The bulk of the communities at Mount Rainier have moderate to high levels of resistance to developmental impacts and moderate to low levels of resilience (Table 20). This is because the shrubby ericaceous understories are generally composed of species that can tolerate moderate impact levels. Once destroyed, however, recovery can be relatively slow due to slow reestablishment and growth of plants. This is a particularly serious problem on sites that have deep, persistent snowpacks (e.g., CHNO/VAOV and ABAM/RHAL). Sites on glacial outwash and lahars, including PSME/ARUV habitats, typically have understories that include species easily damaged by trampling (e.g., lichens and mosses) and very low rates of recovery due to severe site conditions. Longmire Campground provides an example of such a habitat.
