Steelcase Reports Second Quarter Results
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Sept. 19, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Steelcase Inc. (NYSE:SCS) today reported second quarter revenue of $744.9 million and net income of $29.5 million, or $0.23 per share. Excluding restructuring costs, adjusted earnings were $0.25 per share. Revenue and earnings per share were ahead of company estimates. Steelcase reported $700.5 million of revenue and earnings of $0.09 per share in the second quarter of the prior year, including restructuring costs of approximately $0.06 per share.
Organic revenue growth in the second quarter was 10 percent after adjusting for unfavorable currency translation effects and the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures. The Americas posted 10 percent organic growth over the prior year while EMEA experienced 17 percent organic growth. Revenue growth in the Americas and EMEA was broad-based and included a higher mix of project business from some of the company's largest corporate customers.
"The Americas reported another strong quarter, achieving double-digit organic revenue growth for the eighth consecutive quarter and posting a double-digit adjusted operating income margin of over 12 percent," said James P. Hackett, president and CEO. "This performance is a testament to our strategy and the successful execution of our business model changes over the last several years."Current quarter operating income of $46.8 million compares to $25.4 million in the prior year. Excluding restructuring costs, second quarter adjusted operating income of $50.5 million compares with $37.7 million in the prior year. The improvement was driven largely by organic revenue growth in the Americas and EMEA, but gross margins were negatively impacted by a higher mix of project business from some of the company's largest corporate customers.

TSC Ratings' Updates: Limited Brands
Net operating cash flow has increased to $359 million or 19.66% when compared with the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of -20.63%.
The gross profit margin of 37.30% for LTD we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 4.50% trails the industry average.
LTD, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 9.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenue fell by 12.9%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
Compared with where it was trading a year ago, LTD's share price has not changed very much because of relatively weak year-over-year performance of the overall market, the company's stagnant earnings and other mixed results. Although this company's share value is no higher or lower since its value 12 months ago, it seems as though there could be potential for future growth.LTD has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most-recent quarter in comparison with its performance from the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, LTD has increased its bottom line by earning $1.93 vs. $1.67 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 18.1% in earnings ($1.58 vs. $1.93).

If you're like most employers that do background checks, you probably haven't thought twice about the documentation you use for it. Perhaps you've copied some standard language you've found off the Internet (not that there is anything necessarily wrong with that), or maybe you've just used a form that has been handed down from one… Continue Reading
Major Retailer Bans Use of Criminal History as Factor in Job ApplicationsPosted in CHRO & EEOC, Discrimination & Harassment, Highlight, Human Resources (HR) Compliance, Laws and Regulations, Manager & HR Pro's Resource Center
In various posts, I've talked about how there is a slow but increasing trend to encourage employers to "ban the box" when it comes to job applications. That catchy (yet non-descriptive phrase) refers to a checkbox that is often found on job applications that asks applicants if they have any criminal convictions. The news this… Continue Reading

Even though "glitter" and "flats" are two of my favorite words, I must admit I initially gave this project the side-eye, since I assumed they would leave a little trail of glitter wherever you walked (which might be kind of magical in its own way, but mostly annoying). However, the brilliant Sues from We Are Not Martha swears that isn't the case: "The glitter is stuck on there like whoa (thank you Mod Podge!), and the shoes are still super flexible." Sweet! Worries abated, I've got a pair of scuffed up flats that are about to get glittered like whoa. [We Are Not Martha]

- Product Care
Toray® Wader Care:
Toray® waders are breathable though not as breathable as GORE-TEX®. They do not have the same properties as GORE-TEX® and therefore finding pinholes will not be possible using the alcohol test. Care for Simms wader with Toray® technology then as you would a GORE-TEX® wader. Make sure to dry them out after use and do not wear jeans, and never use a dryer to dry them.
We are not able to replace the feet on Toray® waders. We are only able to put custom feet on GORE-TEX® waders.
Washing - Use a front load machine or hand wash. Use cold water and normal detergent that does not contain bleach. Once you have washed the waders make sure you dry them properly start by drying the inside first. Never put your waders in the dryer, the heat will adversely affect the seam tape on your waders and will void your warranty.
- Technology
Toray® fabric technology was developed specifically for fishing waders. The QuadraLam™ fabric featured in the Freestone® and Blackfoot™ waders is a heavy-duty engineered fabric with a microporous waterproof coating that utilizes 2-layer coated fabric, a single membrane layer and a tricot backer to offer improved durability.

- Leaks can't slow me down now! Review by SGM retired
OverallBought my waders Dec 2013, I'm active duty Soldier, fish 3 days a week maybe 4- just over medium hard workload... About springtime in MD I noticed my crotch getting cooler, my under wader fleece or nylon pants as spring came on were always wet due to the pace I kept and miles I covered... However I had suspicions that kept growing. I finally completed my 31st year of active service in July 2014 and went on final vacation until my final discharge Sep 30, 2014,,, imagine what I've been doing - right fishing 5-7 days a week, all with intent on possibly entering the fly fishing industry as a second career--- today 31 Aug 2014 I didn't fish because yesterday I declared I had enough, I COULDN'T HAVE SWEAT THAT MUCH, I was soaked! So I did a inside out, fill my waders with water and low and behold,,, the Simms company had sold me sub quality gear!!! Then I read these reviews (I don't read Simms reviews I just buy on reputation) so I see you have or had a problem??? Well I almost got a year, probably less, but can stand it no longer--- can someone contact me please so we can move up, I think my career needs new gear anyway... You get a three even though I want to give you a 5 cause of all the other gear I have is a five...
Thanks. SGM

- Buy Gor-tex...Toray is Inferior Review by Say to NO to Toray
OverallBought toray freestone waders for several people last spring. Found out quickly that toray does not breath anything like gor-tex. After 1 year all of the toray waders need repair or replacement. Simms gor-tex waders purchased 8 years ago are in better shape than most 1 year old toray waders. I hope that simms will consider to cut, or greatly reduce price, toray from their line.

- Freestone waders Review by Bobby
OverallSo far so good with the freestones, have put a lot of miles on them in and around the Salmon River in NY. Getting in and out of boats, trudging through the undergrowth and kneeling on rocks and mine have yet to give out. Here's hoping for a leak free summer on the Unalakleet River in Alaska!

- They were great Review by Eric R
OverallMy wife bought me these for fathers day a while back and boy was I happy. Until about the fourth trip out they developed leaks in the crotch and lower leg area. I have sent them back and was told they are being replaced because of a manufacturing defect. Lets hope these last a while longer. Customer service was tops though.

- Good so far Review by Mark
OverallWore these on a very cold day in 33 degree water temp. They held up great. Hope they dont leak in the groin as in other reviews. I have heard Simms is great about repairing or replacing items-through the grapevine. So far they have held up. Cant wait to break them in during a winter or spring thaw here in Northern Ohio.

- And still going strong Review by A_Ribis
OverallI bought my first and only pair in 2006. Sent them back to Simms for a few pin holes in 2007 and are still going strong today. Best $200 I have ever spent on any fishing item.

- Great pair of waders, with no leaks. Review by Sparse No Gray Hackle
OverallI love these boots! I owned the guide version of your waders and wore them out. They developed a few leaks last year and I could not find the holes using what I thought was the proper approach, inverting the boots, then using a flash light on the inside of them in the dark. Apparently, isopropyl alcohol would have given me a better result of where those micro-holes were, but in the end, I just threw them out (6 years old) and purchased the freestone version. I am in the first season of wearing them and no leaks! They fit great, they are light weight compared to my last pair of waders and the new ones allow me maximum leg movement in getting up and down the banks of my favorite eastern rivers. Keep up the good work!
(Posted on 10/24/13)
- Disappointed !!! Review by Jay
OverallBought a pair of these waders in the spring fished the summer maybe a dozen times. Was out the other day fishing the fall Atlantic salmon run, with the water temp dropping, a leak in the crotch area started to leak through made for a short fish needless to say, not a good area for cold water! Hope simms will help me out, I expected more for the price and name. They are a very comfortable wader on a good note.
[Response from Simms Customer Care Team]
Thanks Jay. Call our customer care team at 888-585-3570 or email us at [email protected] Would have to agree, bad spot for a leak.

Oklahoma dominates 2010 mock draft
Plenty of linemen on the board; two quarterbacks and one wide receiver make the cut
Originally Published: April 30, 2009By Todd McShay | Scouts Inc.
The dust has barely settled following the 2009 draft, but that doesn't mean it's too early to look ahead to 2010, and below is Scouts Inc.'s very early look at how things could unfold in the first round in 2010. The biggest story at this point is Oklahoma's domination of the draft board. The Sooners have the No. 1 overall pick in QB Sam Bradford but also have four of the top six selections and five projected first-rounders overall. Five offensive or defensive linemen land in the top 10 along with two quarterbacks, a tight end, a safety and a linebacker. Only players who are entering their fourth year on campus are a part of this projection, including Bradford and Penn State OLB Navorro Bowman. The order of our first round reflects Scouts Inc.'s Matt Williamson's revamped power rankings -- which take into account the playoffs, free agency and the 2009 draft -- in reverse. So, with the first pick in the 2010 NFL mock draft, the St. Louis Rams select
1. St. Louis Rams -- Sam Bradford, QB, OklahomaCollege football's most accurate passer could emerge as the top overall pick in 2010. The Rams should be in position to draft their future franchise quarterback after passing on Mark Sanchez in this year's draft.
2. Cleveland Browns -- Ndamukong Suh, DT, NebraskaSuh is an underrated talent with quickness, power and versatility.
3. Detroit Lions -- Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma StateThe Lions should be in the market for a starting left tackle to protect the blind side of 2009 No. 1 overall pick Matthew Stafford.
4. Oakland Raiders -- Trent Williams, OT, OklahomaOakland drafted a wide receiver (Darrius Heyward-Bey) at No. 7 overall this year rather than solidifying its offensive line with OT Eugene Monroe. The Raiders shouldn't make the same mistake in 2010.
5. Kansas City Chiefs -- Jermaine Gresham, TE, OklahomaThe Chiefs will have some bigger needs along the offensive and defensive lines, but Gresham projects as the premier tight end in the 2010 class. He could become the replacement for future Hall of Fame TE Tony Gonzalez, who was traded to the Falcons, providing QB Matt Cassell a legitimate pass-catching threat over the middle.
6. Seattle Seahawks (from Denver) -- Colt McCoy, QB, TexasA year from now the Seahawks could be in the market for Matt Hasselbeck's future replacement and don't be surprised if McCoy emerges as a top-10 pick by then.
7. Jacksonville Jaguars -- Gerald McCoy, DT, OklahomaThe Jaguars need to replenish their interior defensive line and McCoy is college football's most disruptive tackle when he's healthy.
8. San Francisco 49ers -- Taylor Mays, S, USCOffensive tackle is a big need area but Mays possesses freakish physical tools and could anchor the 49ers' secondary for many years. It should also be pointed out that Mays will have competition for the honor of being first safety off the 2010 draft board if Tennessee's Eric Berry leaves school early.
9. Green Bay Packers -- Adam Ulatoski, OT, TexasUlatoski has good feet for his size and could develop into a top offensive tackle prospect as a senior with improved technique and consistency.
10. San Francisco 49ers (from CAR) -- Sergio Kindle, OLB, TexasWith the second of their two first-round selections, the 49ers could look to upgrade their offensive line or pass rush. Kindle is a great fit in this scenario as an undersized end with excellent speed off the edge and fluid hips that allow him to occasionally drop into coverage.
11. Washington Redskins -- Ciron Black, OT, LSUBlack is a bit overrated at this point, but he has the physical tools to emerge as a high first-round pick a year from now.
12. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- Geno Atkins, DT, GeorgiaNew defensive coordinator Jim Bates is looking to get bigger and stronger up front. Atkins fits the mold as a squatty, quick and strong defender. However, he needs to rebound from a somewhat disappointing 2008 season in order to emerge as a premier defensive tackle prospect in next year's class.
13. Denver Broncos (from CHI) -- Jerry Hughes, OLB, TCUHughes is flying under the radar, but his initial burst and pass-rushing ability -- 15 sacks in 2008 -- could land him a spot in the middle of next year's first round.
14. Buffalo Bills -- Sam Young, OT, Notre DameOffensive tackle is the only need area the Bills failed to address in the most recent draft. As a result, expect the team to be in the market for a future starter such as Young a year from now.
15. Cincinnati Bengals -- C.J. Spiller, RB, ClemsonSpiller's speed and versatility could land him a spot in the mid-to-late portion of Round 1.
16. Miami Dolphins -- George Selvie, DE, South FloridaSelvie is a notch below elite in terms of physical tools, but his toughness and nonstop motor will be enticing to a team like the Dolphins.

Would you support year-round funding of homeless shelters?
Yes. You can't have facilities like St. Vincent de Paul downtown and no place for them to go. No more camping.
— Libby McQuiston: 71, San Rafael, home declutterer
Yes. Marin is one of the counties in the state. It's ridiculous it can't support people who are homeless.
— Rendell Bower: 70, San Rafaael, handyman
Yes. Do you have a decommisioned army base? That would be a good place to start.
— Colleen Page: 52, Pacifica, photographer
Yes. Homeless people are scattered all over the county. It would be nice for them to have a place to count on.
— Clark Peterson: 64, San Rafael, web editor
Yes. It's cheaper than leaving them on the street, when you factor in health care and other costs.
— Michael Hall: 55, San Anselmo, contractor

Dear Conscience by Pussycat123
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 37]
Summary: Mini-fic with 3 parts.
Dear Reader,
I am a troubled girl. Everything that could go wrong, seems to go wrong. Throw in the biggest pain in the derriere a girl has ever had to put up with, a best and worst friend that you both love and hate, and a sister you just purely hate, and what do you get? My life. So that's why I need an outlet – someone to yell at, someone to blame, and someone to draw some kind of twisted comfort from. Who better than my conscience? And how do I keep in contact with said conscience? Through writing letters to it of course! Need some convincing?
Well, I hurl a lot of verbal abuse about, make mistakes that could cost me everything I hold dear, and occasionally I get things – sort of – right. And where else could you read about lipsticks, rhubarb crumble and foam fights all in one mini-fic?
Well, I think I've convinced you enough. Don't tell me you're not tempted! Read my personal letters addressed to my conscience, and be amazed and enthralled at how utterly unstable my life is ...
Summary: Lily Evans never really questioned what she was told. She was told that she had everything, that others wanted to be her. She was told that she perfect. She never had a reason not to believe them all -- until it all falls apart.

This rugged 10.1-inch Android tablet comes with a decent base specification and has plenty of options and accessories on offer. It's no low-cost tablet, and runs the ageing Android 4.0, but it should appeal to vertical markets that don't require Windows.
Google Nexus 7 (2013) review: Improved spec, great screen, top value
The 2013 Nexus 7 is a sleeker, lighter and better-specified device than last year's model. There's still no Micro-SD card support, but good all-round performance and battery life, plus a competitive price, add up to superb value for money.
Lenovo ThinkPad Helix review: high-quality tablet/ultrabook
This excellent Windows 8 tablet/ultrabook hybrid has a well-designed keyboard docking mechanism, typically solid build quality and a specification well suited to mainstream business use. It has a hefty price tag, though, and the lack of SD-based storage expansion is perplexing.
HP ElitePad 900 review
Although it's well built and delivers decent battery life, the ElitePad 900's combination of a basic Atom-based tablet and a range of optional extras is an expensive way to build a work-ready system.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 review
The 8-inch Galaxy Note 8 is reasonably comfortable to hold one-handed in portrait mode to make jottings with its pressure-sensitive pen, and is a delight to use. Still, you'll need to really want the added features that pen input brings to the device, because it's relatively expensive.
Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1 review
The chunky Toughpad FZ-G1 has a high-resolution outdoor-visible screen, is moderately rugged, and delivers decent performance and middling battery life with the standard battery. The biggest drawback, however, is the price.
Asus PadFone 2 review
The second generation of this dockable smartphone/tablet combo has a lot to recommend it, although we'd prefer a better tablet screen, a storage expansion slot (or two) and a standard Micro-USB connector.
Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 review
Although it's expensive for a moderate-performing Atom-based Windows 8 tablet, the ThinkPad Tablet 2's design and build quality are excellent, while pen support is a real bonus.
Dell Latitude 10 review
The Atom-based Latitude 10 is short on performance, but delivers excellent battery life — especially with the optional 4-cell battery. Although some aspects of the industrial design and build quality could be better, this is a decent business-class Windows 8 tablet.
Dell XPS 12 convertible Ultrabook review
The swivel-screen XPS 12 offers clever design, solid build quality and a high-quality (if reflective) screen. Battery life is not great, though, and this system is severely lacking in connectivity — even by ultrabook standards.
Microsoft Surface Pro review
The Core i5-based Surface Pro combines ultrabook components with a (chunky) 10.6in. tablet form factor to deliver decent performance and excellent build quality. However, a few design issues, missing features and, above all, disappointing battery life suggest you'd be wise to wait and see how this product develops.
Lenovo ThinkPad S230u Twist review
An ultrabook that can convert to a tablet when the occasion demands, the ThinkPad Twist has a lot going for it. The build quality is very good, and there are enough business-friendly features to make it acceptable as a BYOD system. Battery life may be an issue though.
Microsoft Surface review
Microsoft's ARM-based tablet has plenty of good points, but there are enough downsides to make caution advisable. The hardware platform and the Windows RT ecosystem will undoubtedly improve, so we'd suggest giving version 1.0 a miss unless you're an avid early adopter.
Google Nexus 10 review
The Nexus 10 sets the standard for other tablet manufacturers. If Google can persuade developers to fill in the gaps in the app market, then it will deserve to be wildly popular.

Eye makeup is my favorite part of my beauty routine… It is also the part that seems to fade the fastest. I have found several eyeshadow primers that work well for me, but I am always on a quest for another great hidden treasure. Today I am going to discuss an eyeshadow primer from theBalm called Put A Lid On It.
First off, let's talk about the packaging. theBalm has always been known for great packaging. The box looks straight out of a Sunday Funny Paper! The tube itself is nice and simple. It is a squeeze tube and has a nice precise tip, which helps you get just the right amount out.
As far as Put A Lid On It's performance–I feel it is quite good. Not the best I have ever tried but far from the worst. It is a lot like the texture of most well-known primers (i.e. Too Faced Shadow Insurance, Urban Decay Primer Potion, or NARS Eyeshadow Base) but maybe slightly thinner. The amount on my wrist (below) is enough for both of my eyelids. It spreads very evenly and goes transparent on the lid.
Info from the brand:
"Let your eyes do the talking with Put A Lid On It, a quick-drying primer designed to give your boldest looks staying power. Packaged in an easy-to-squeeze tube, its light reflective properties brighten and enhance lids, while skin-smoothing ingredients ensure your favorite shades are anything but muted."
theBalm Put A Lid On It retails for $18 for .4 fl oz of product. You can find this product anywhere that theBalm is sold. I personally enjoy this product very much. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

"Thrilling fights and adventures." (The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature)
"Over Treasure Island I let my fire die in winter without knowing I was freezing." (J.M. Barrie)
"Predictable, but enjoyable"
First off- Recording quality is excellent. Other than the cheesy music which begins every chapter, I have no reservations.
The quality of the story? Its good. Its a simple story, with nothing terribly complex or insightful, but its good. A "brain candy" book for people from some years ago perhaps. Very much enjoyed it, and would recommend it to anyone looking for an escape on a pirate adventure for a while. Young boys especially should read this.

In the casegoods segment, higher revenues were driven by a better in-stock position. Upholstery sales improvements were driven by higher demand. Improved consolidated profitability in both 2013 fiscal periods was primarily driven by higher average selling prices and lower sales discounting for both segments, and reduced upholstery segment manufacturing costs as a percentage of net sales. "After some challenges at the beginning of the year, we finished the second half with considerable momentum," said Paul B. Toms Jr., chairman and chief executive officer. "By year end, we had solid performances by all of our operating units, healthy orders, good inventory availability, increased efficiencies and a strong product lineup."
