What common mistakes can I avoid during the shopping process?
Taking time to think through the details while shopping for new floors can help prevent these common mistakes:
1. Choosing floors that don't fit your lifestyle.
Try not to choose a floor simply because it looks good. Be sure it fits your lifestyle. Some flooring choices are better suited than others. Think about whether the room is a high-traffic area, if there are or will be kids or pets in the home, or if you like to host parties frequently. Also consider how often you plan to replace your floors or redecorate. With our SelectAFloor™ Finder, your search is narrowed to flooring products that fit both your personal preferences and lifestyle needs. Click here to get started.
2. Buying before trying the product out in its intended space.
Certain floors may look great in-store or online, but don't translate well once you get them home. To avoid this issue, start by using our Room Visualizer tool, which allows you to virtually try on any of our floors right in your own home. Additionally, you can ask your local Carpet One Floor & Home for samples to take home. This gives you the opportunity to see how the floor ties into your current décor, as well as how it will look in various types of lighting throughout the day.
3. Choosing floors without thinking about room factors.
Consider factors like humidity, moisture and traffic level when shopping for floors. Knowing your room's environment can help narrow down options and avoid potential problems after the floors have been installed.
4. Not asking questions.
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Asking questions can help you make informed and confident decisions. Read our guide on what questions you should ask when shopping for floors.
5. Not thinking about installation.
Installation is just as important as the floor. For example, a budget-friendly tile can look great if installed correctly and a high-quality tile can look shoddy if installed poorly. Hire a professional through Carpet One Floor & Home for the best results, and look into obtaining an installation warranty to make sure you're not wasting time and money on redoing a poorly-installed floor.
6. Not considering a warranty.
While there is no guarantee that you will use or need your warranty, it's still important to consider the pros and cons. Warranties can offer peace of mind by providing guaranteed protection against a variety of factors. Warranty coverage can vary by flooring type, region and even lifestyle, so you'll want to do some research and choose a warranty that aligns with your specific needs.
7. Not seeking professional help.
DIY can seem like the least expensive option, but seeking professional help will often save time and money. For example, when measuring for floors, a professional can provide you with a more accurate measurement, which may keep you from ordering more flooring than you need. Also, unless you're an experienced DIYer, installing floors is not as easy as it sounds. You may end up spending more time and money on buying tools or redoing a botched installation.

I'm at an IBM event this week, and at dinner I had what has been an increasingly frequent experience.
It used to be that attendees at these events gushed about the new Apple gadget they were carrying, and anyone who expressed reservations seemed out of touch with the group. Much like talking about religion or politics from the minority position at the dinner table, bashing Apple was one sure way to ensure everyone thought you were an idiot.
But last night, instead of showing off an Apple device, another guest showed off his new Samsung Galaxy S III phone, which led to more chatter about my new Microsoft Surface tablet. It spiraled into an "everyone dump on Apple" event, and by the end of the evening, Cupertino's sole defender seemed to be considering other options.
This may be anecdotal, but I've seen the same event played out several times recently among analysts and other influencers in the tech space. It makes me think Apple's image is changing, and the firm's products are losing their magical edge.
Samsung's anti-Apple marketing
The blemish on Apple's spotless image didn't just appear there; Samsung helped etch it into the glossy white plastic quite intentionally. Its excellent marketing campaign has attacked Apple's image on three vectors.
The first is questioning Apple's leadership. Samsung's ads paint Apple's "upgrades" as features the company accidentally or intentionally left out of prior products (larger screens, 4G radios), or obvious improvements (headphone jacks on the bottom). In some cases, they also point out where Apple still lags behind the curve after launching a new device, like the lack of NFC in the iPhone 5. Samsung wants to depict itself as the innovator Apple is struggling to match.
Second, the campaign raises the idea that Apple fans aren't smart consumers. They're depicted slogging through long lines waiting for their technology, and getting unreasonably excited about aspects of the product that aren't exciting. In fact, the not-so-subtle message is that Apple buyers are kind of dense.
Finally the ads build on this dense concept by showcasing Apple users as people you wouldn't want to emulate: Your parents. Dorks. Clueless hipsters. This is designed to strip away the prestige that Apple products typically carry.
For all its mocking, Samsung actually copied Apple with its first smartphones, but has since diverged, trying to drag away the perceived market leadership with it. The Korean company waged a similar type of warfare on Sony in the television space, which was once the clear leader. Samsung first emulated Sony, then partnered with the company, then took the market away. Sony has never recovered. Granted, Sony had additional issues that complicated things, but the plan worked, and Samsung appears to be following the same playbook with Apple.
Microsoft Surface
Samsung isn't the only company slinging mud on Apple's image. The Microsoft Surface tablet is doing relatively well, and Apple's efforts to disparage it have largely been ineffective (at least so far). It appears to have been designed specifically to make the iPad look wanting in comparison.
As I write this, the Surface is still generating lines, but the important part is it looks both more advanced and more unique than Apple's offerings. This impression dovetails nicely with Samsung's efforts, because while the two companies aren't aligned on products, they are aligned on a common message: Apple's offerings don't convey status anymore because they appear to be bought by stupid people.
The too-soon iPad 4 and too-expensive iPad mini
The third leg on this this ugly three-legged stool comes from Apple itself. Its latest launch even showcased an array of different products under one roof, a "big bang" event that trivializes individual products. Firms like Compaq were famous for this approach, but Apple has avoided them like the plague since Steve Jobs returned in the late 90s. Worse, the new iPad made buyers of the old version – launched only back in March – look stupid.
Meanwhile, the iPad mini was priced well out of line with competing models, with inferior specs. When Steve Jobs launched the iPad, it was the lowest priced tablet from a major vendor in its class, and since then, it has remained price competitive against the alternatives. The iPad mini is priced at a 65 percent premium, but lacks the same high-quality displays found on far cheaper competitors. Smart people would probably not buy it as a result. I wouldn't be surprised to see Apple discount it significantly once initial demand falls off, leaving early buyers upset and looking stupid yet again.
Destroying Apple's brand
Apple's strongest asset is the power of its brand, and the historically valid belief that Apple products are purchased by smart people who are well regarded. This asset is being systematically destroyed, overtly by Samsung, covertly by Microsoft, and stupidly by Apple. Apple is not effectively defending this incredibly valuable asset, and the end result will likely resemble the company that existed before Steve Jobs' return. That also means a market less dominated by Apple. Since I'm writing this on my Surface Tablet, I'm thinking this may turn out to be a good thing.

For the Love of Dendrites
Posted by Stephanie Martin
Forum List · Message List · New Topic
Stephanie Martin August 19, 2012 08:17AMHi All,
This thread is being dedicated to the lovely form of dendrites. Initially this began as an appreciation of manganese oxides, however I invite any kind of dendrites to be shared here. In addition since dendrites are well suited for lapidary purposes and are poplular as such, these are also welcomed to be shared here.
Here are a few to start the parade. I left out Solnhofen deliberately since I am sure many of you would have wonderful ones to contribute and I would love to see them.
This first one is from Utah, USA, if anyone knows a more specific location please let me know.

Roberto Bosi August 19, 2012 11:14AMNice idea, Stephanie. Here are two specimens from Solnhofen. The first, as regards of the dendrites, is not exceptional but agreeable; a single, isolated, well defined and almost symmetric "branch". This is an occasion, however, to show a very nice Saccocoma pectinata (on the left), a probable larval crinoid typical of this place. Its diameter is 26 mm.
The second specimen is an ammonite (diameter 30 mm) crossed by well defined dendrites. I hope you like it.
Better to be just than good (Kempis)
Rock Currier August 19, 2012 11:35AMStephanie,
Why don't you write an article about dendrites? At the very least you should write up a better definition for our glossary than the one we have and show some more pictures of them.

Agustin Agudo Espinosa August 19, 2012 12:46PMI bring a bit more to the fantastic world of the dendrites
I think for many, was the first samples, we began to captivate.
Here is a copy of manganese oxides from Jalapa Mine in El Molar, Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain.
Greetings to all.
Agustin Agudo Espinosa.
Kelly Nash August 19, 2012 03:19PMBeautiful examples and great topic! I hesitate to put this here because I am of course quite dubious that it's authentic. It appeared in Mineral Digest (vol. 5, Winter 1973) in an article by Roger Caillois, and well, it's interesting. The caption said it is limestone and the source is unknown and there was nothing else about it in the text. I'm curious if anyone has seen this piece and knows anything more about it.

Norman King August 19, 2012 03:59PMThis appears to be a dendrite of hematite. Perhaps it is hematite after a Mn oxide, but the rim of normal-appearing Mn dendrites around the hematite suggests the hematite was original. This was found at a fossil quarry in shale of the Middle Cambrian Wheeler Formation, House Range, Millard Co., Utah. There are trilobites on bedding surfaces in this piece.

Stephanie Martin August 19, 2012 05:36PMGreat stuff everyone! Glad to see there is interest. Kelly, that piece would definitley require more investigation.
Rock, I will eventually put together an article, would like to see what interesting things may turn up on this thread in the meantime.
stephanie :-)
Rui Nunes August 19, 2012 06:35PMKelly,
I bet 99,99 % that this is not a dendrite neither a limestone specimen. It seems man made something like a drawing inspired in a limestone landscape and in the dendrites effects. Buildings, people, trees, birds, all in the right place... not natural for me.

John Montgomery August 19, 2012 08:29PMGlad to hear that Stephanie...I look forward to reading that article as I have no idea what these beautiful specimens are or how they came about etc....thanks

Dean Allum August 19, 2012 09:14PMRui, Those are magnificent. Could you please post more pictures from your collection?
Stephanie, do these fit the definition of mimetoliths?
While I don't have any worthy manganese dendrites, this fluorite pattern is reminiscent of dendrites.
-Dean Allum
Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/19/2012 09:17PM by Dean Allum.
Stephanie Martin August 19, 2012 09:41PMThanks all for the continued contributions, hope everyone is enjoying them as much as I am.
Dean, I would assume that they would qualify because they do resemble trees or ferns or such. And I do believe you have a worthy example of dendrites, and the spodumene they have formed on makes a nice contrastive canvas.
stephanie :-)
Dan R. Lynch August 20, 2012 12:38AMDon't forget about dendrites within/on agates. Here's one of my favorites: my dad had a junk Lake Superior agate, showing no banding or any other redeeming features. Tossing it into a bucket, it broke along its banding (which we call "peeling," as this typically occurs due to freeze/thaw cycles). Examining the two halves that had popped apart, I noticed this tiny 1cm dendrite hiding on the surface, where it had been formed in the microscopic space between the bands.
Marc Miterman (2) August 20, 2012 03:28AMWow, What a great thread !
I have always loved Dendrites.

Tom Goodland August 20, 2012 11:55AMHi everyone,
I recently found some calcite crystals with distinct presumably manganese oxide dendritic growths on several of the crystal faces. I have found similar dendritic growths from several different locations, where they had been caused by solutions seeping between bedding planes, but i'm mystified how these particular dendrites could have formed. Has anyone else seen dendrites on crystal faces?
Sorry no photos at present, all my specimens are in storage.

Rob Woodside August 20, 2012 05:29PMDendrites loved and lost.
Rock Currier August 20, 2012 06:52PMThe Mineral Digest was created by Julio Tangelof sp? who ran a company called Astros back in the 70s in New York City. He was notorious for never paying his bills and selling Mexican coconut geodes that cost $5 anywhere else but he was selling them for $60. His sales people often didn't know what they were selling and I doubt that he could identify more than 20 common minerals by sight.. The people he hired to run his organization knew even less. He was an egomaniac of the first order. The magazine was designed as an advertising vehicle and for his personal aggrandizement which shines through loud and clear if you read some of the articles that he paid a captive editor to have written about him and his wife by hacks. I should add that this is my personal point of view and that his descendants still run the business out of NY City today and might have an entirely different point of view.

Stephanie Martin August 20, 2012 07:15PMThanks for the info Rock. Given that information we could discern that there is likely not much credibility/validity behind the publication regarding the piece that Kelly posted. I agree with Rui, it has too many things in the correct order.
Rob, you say you "lost" those, I hope they went to good homes. Thanks for sharing your mementos.
Rob Woodside August 20, 2012 07:38PMThe Copper is on display at the Royal Ontario Museum and maybe the Gold is too. The Silver is in the dungeon there.

Stephanie Martin August 21, 2012 03:59AMRaul ~ Wonderful pieces. Nice to see from Argentina!
Tom - regarding growth on crystals, I think it depends on the type of crystal and the environment in which the dendrites form. Dendrites are seen frequently on feldspars and I think it might have to do with the actual surface of the crystal. Certainly they seem to like more porous surfaces, perhaps that is a coincidence based on the nature of the deposits where they are more typically found. But you are are right, you don't see them much on gem type crystals, more in them than on them, especially quartz. I suspect this might have to do with secondary deposition conditions and these don't seem to favour them forming and adhering to gem crystals in their environs.
Here is a feldspar with some incipient dendrites in what I call the blotchy stage.

Stephanie Martin August 21, 2012 04:16AMDan, yes agates, jaspers, opals et all are definitely welcome. I really don't know where to start! I am hoping that others will share such natural art.
There has been a lot of this Chinese jasper out there, they look so much like paintings, so I had to get one of course. 10 x 4cm.
And the great thing is that it has two sides that can both be displayed, which side to choose? Or should I get one of those spinning frames? LOL.
stephanie :))
Stephanie Martin August 21, 2012 05:28AMSorry I don't have many details on this one such as age and species (I suppose I could look it up but nah, too lazy), I bought it for the dendrites. Imagine that. Oh, I should have warned you... I love dendrites. :-D

Bart Cannon August 26, 2012 03:48PMI want to grow my own manganese oxide dendrites.
They seem to be natural fractals, and I have a hunch that they grow quickly and, as Bacteria Bart, I think there is an organic aspect to their formations, but I have never heard of mangenese metabolizing bacteria.
I tried an experiment. I crushed up some dirty manganese oxides, emusled them in rainwater, moistened some microscope slides in the suspension and waited almost a year for something to happen. Nothing happened.
It seems as though they most commonly form in fractures in carbonate rocks. I wonder it those carbonate rocks are most often manganese bearing.
My next effort will be to create some little slabs of manganese bearing carbonate rock, join them, and put them in dirty rainwater and leave them alone for at least a year.
Are there non manganese oxide examples of dendrites ?
Stephanie Martin August 26, 2012 04:09PMBart - an important factor in the growth of dendrites is surface tension, that's why I don't think they grew on your slide, or why they don't grow on many well developed gemmy crystals. The surfaces do not have enough "gription". There are a number of factors hat have to be just right for them to grow and it is my observation that porous rocks such as carbonates are a better host. These are usually sedimentary in nature, or weathered granitic formations where the environmental conditions exist suited for the growth of dendrites. There may be an organic component which is being studied. Yes, there are other dendrites besides manganese oxides, iron oxides would probably be the next most common.
And yes, they are natural fractals.

Bart Cannon August 26, 2012 05:20PMThank you Stephanie,
I can't tell if your cryptomelanes are beautiful or creepy. I'll stick with fascinating.
I have an intuition that dendrites form by capillary activity (wicking).
My next experiment in growing my own dendrites will be to split some fine grained carbonate rocks and bind the pieces back together rather than ginding and mating some small slabs. That should improve the "gription" and improve my chances of becoming the first dendrite artist. A goal with no practical value. My specialty.
Maybe I'll use some weak manganese sulfate solution with the rainwater.
Alex Homenuke August 26, 2012 11:09PMRe: "a goal with no practical value" - I don't know about that, Bart. The psychologists could use them for Rorzhak (sp) tests.
Bart Cannon August 27, 2012 03:24AMAlex,
That's very funny, i retract my statement about no practical value for dendrites..
A completely natural and random source for Rorschack images.
I will would work on Rorschack pairs during first day of retirement. Except that would be a day after I'm dead.
I don't know how to spell that guy's name either.
I seem to think that Ruggles Mine uraninite, gummite specimens show a dendritic nature.
The difference between dendritic and arborescent features would seem to be two dimensions vs. three dimensions.
Stephanie Martin August 27, 2012 04:07AMBart you are right about the uraninites from Ruggles, also some triphylite from the same area shows this as well. I'll post some eventually :))
Wicking may be a factor in the creation of surface dendrites as per your instinctual hunch.
And FYI the correct spelling is Rorschach. I would think that inkblots are essentially fractals as well.

a-HA! - Answers a question that I've been pondering since the start of this thread - thanks, Bart!
Maggie Wilson August 28, 2012 02:33PMThe Handbook of Mineralogy describes the crystal habit of berzelianite as "thin dendritic crusts"
Dendrites, eh? Ok, here we go! The display face of this specimen has been cut and polished to show off the dentritic effect.
Stephanie Martin August 29, 2012 03:35AMMaggie that berzelianite is really cool polished like that. Striking piece!
Well it seems I keep finding those dendrite things turning up everywhere. :-D

Here are a few...

Clifford Trebilcock August 31, 2012 02:10PMHi Steph,
Here is a photo of some Dendrites in translucent Quartz I collected from an unnamed Feldspar prospect in Center Minot,Maine.
It is about 9 X 6 CM in size and the Dendrites are both on the surface and along internal fractures. Many great photos of Dendrites on this thread.

Stephanie Martin September 01, 2012 06:21AMNice to see all the great contributions! Alexis that is a lovely find, definitely a keeper.
Rick - thanks for sharing so many, you made my day.
Maggie – a nice local surpise, and from a location that is usually known for orange celestite. Just wonderful!
Cliff, that is a stunning unspoiled dendritic quartz! Hope you plan to keep it that way!
More on opals. You often see this material used for cabachons, pendants, earrings etc, but I just find the centers are fascinating on these dendritic opal nodules from Turkey. The chalcedony layer adds some interesting contrast and is fluorescent.

Dean Allum September 01, 2012 11:30PMWow John,
That's a beautiful specimen! It's good to see that you have finally developed an appreciation for mineralogy and some healthy curiosity.

Stephanie Martin September 02, 2012 06:56AMJohn, a stunning lilac spodumene adorned with dendrites! I can't take my eyes away from it! I've spent more than 5 minutes trying to think of something positive to say to you for cheating by posting my photo. There's an old cliché about imitation being the highest form of flattery. Nice try, but you need to get your own dendrites! :-X
John M Stolz September 02, 2012 11:02AMDean,
I think you're confusing "appreciation" with "aesthetics". I actually have both. What I seem to be missing is good judgement.
Apologies; it didn't occur to me that I would cheat you by posting your picture. 4 pages of posts went by and I never saw it. I was under the impression that this was all about knowledge for knowledge's sake.
To both of you,
1. There was no intention on my part of claiming "credit" for a photo that doesn't belong to me. Hover your mouse over the picture and see what you see,
2. There's always a danger with the written form of communication for miscommunication to occur. For my part, I apologize for having taken the liberty of assuming you would find my clownish actions amusing and in good spirit, instead of insulting. You can be assured I won't take such liberties in the future. Especially now that it seems clear that all I'm doing is making an idiot of myself by having to post a public apology.

Stephanie Martin September 02, 2012 05:56PMJohn, I was actually rather amused that you posted my photo. But I couldn't resist the return barb. And actually I imitated you as well, by using words from your original post. So I guess you didn't pick up on that, but as you said the written word can sometimes be difficult to impart nuances.
Regarding the specimen, I was going to get around to it posting it again eventually, but it was nice to see it. I have enough dendrite material to post one everyday for the remainder of the year if I wanted to, but will spare you all from that overkill. LOL.
Let's get back to dendrites!

Roger Curry September 02, 2012 10:57PMHi all,
just got back from West Cork, Ireland. Went looking for arsenopyrite crystals. Also saw this bit of sandstone, which I left in-situ at the dumps of
Dhurode (Carrigacat) Mine.
Stephanie Martin September 07, 2012 05:24AMRoger, thanks for posting that in situ photo. I appreciate that you took the time to notice it there and snap the pic. I was hoping to see dendrites from uncommon places, and you measured up to that expectation nicely. Hope you were able to find some arsenopyrite too.
Today a little piece of jasper-like material known as opalite from Australia. The information I have says it is found in the opalite mines not far from the Yerilla Chrysoprase Mines in the Goldfield Esperance region, Western Australia.
3 x 2 cm
Roger Curry September 07, 2012 11:13PMI was successful in my primary objective Stephanie, but as soon as I saw the dendrites, it brought back memories of one of my first collecting trips, when I found some lovely manganese dendrites on a slab of magnesian limestone at Sunderland. Some 40 odd years later, I also remembered this thread, so the photo. Here's dendrite formation (NASA)
Rob Woodside September 08, 2012 05:18PMThanks Roger, Is that growing in micro gravity? The horizontal growth is faster than the vertical in the photo.
Stephanie Martin September 08, 2012 05:40PMRob, I think this link explains it. This is usually a result of heat and cooling rates.
stephanie :-)
Rob Woodside September 08, 2012 05:56PMThanks Stephanie, but I think Roger has a different specimen. His has both horizontal arms. In microgravity the growth should be the same in all symmetrically equivalent directions. Flames are spherical until the local oxygen is exhausted. So maybe I've answered my own question since the vertical growth is not as fast as the horizontal. Cool pictures, Thanks.
Stephanie Martin September 08, 2012 06:01PMYes, that's what I was getting at. If it was in micro-gravity, the growth should be symmetrical. I agree, It is a great little gif.

Hi! My name is Jenny and I am so excited to be a designer here at the Bake Shop! This is my first recipe.
If your ironing board cover is dull as dishwater, it may be time to spruce it up! I guarantee ironing will be a little more fun when you have something pretty to iron on, like Kate Spain's gorgeous Verna line.
1 Jelly Roll – Verna by Kate Spain
2 Yards of Muslin
Luna Batting – Crib Size
3 Yards of 1/2″ Wide Ribbon
Coordinating Thread
* Note: all seams are 1/4″
1. Sew three jelly roll strips right sides together along long sides. Press. Repeat with three additional jelly roll strips.
2. Layer pieced jelly roll strips right sides together. Stitch along each long end to create a tube.
3. With a 10″ square ruler (or 10″ square template made of posterboard), cut tube into 5 blocks as pictured:
4. Press blocks open.
5. Repeat Steps 1-4 four more times for a total of 5 tubes and 25 blocks.
6. Arrange blocks into a grid of 3 blocks across and 8 blocks down. You will have one leftover block from Step 5. Sew the blocks into rows, then join the rows together. Press well.
7. Lay your pieced quilt top right side down on the floor. Place your ironing board on top. Add 3.5″ to the perimeter of the ironing board. Trace. Cut along traced line.
8. Cut batting and muslin to match quilt top. Sandwich batting between muslin and quilt top. Baste and quilt as desired.
9. Serge, pink, overcast, or zig-zag perimeter to prevent fraying.
10. Press and pin perimeter 3/4″ to the wrong side. Edge stitch perimeter to create a channel for the ribbon drawstring. Be sure to leave a 3″ opening in the back of the cover to thread ribbon!
11. On the center back of quilt top (directly above 3″ opening), sew a buttonhole parallel to stitched line. Slice open with an X-acto knife.
12. Thread ribbon through button hole and entire ironing board channel. Hand stitch 3″ opening closed, leaving only enough room for threaded ribbon. Place quilted cover on ironing board. Pull ribbon snugly and tie in a bow!
One sassy ironing board cover!

I've been itching to work on some furniture for months now but lacked:
- A-the furniture
- B– a venue in which to sell it.
Both of my problems were solved when
- B – Thanks to my friend Nicki I was accepted into the Little French Market where I can sell both furniture and my coasters but I don't have to rent a truck to get it there.
Aimee's table was in good shape structurally but the finish was pretty well shot.
And I had a vision!
OK, I agree – as unique visions go me using text is not up there with sliced bread, the wheel and fire on the new idea front.…..but I like it!
So first up – a good cleaning, sanding and priming.
For the text I wanted to use my Cameo rather than the blender pen of the past (see! Radically new!). So I painted the apron of the table black and then distressed it a bit and taped off a straight line to keep my text even.
And then the trouble began.
Me and the Cameo just don't get along. For some reason it won't actually connect with my computer so I have to do all these work-arounds. And –when I do get it going it never quite does what I thought I'd told it to do.
I realize you could blame me for that but I prefer to blame the inanimate, non-sentient piece of equipment. Thanks for your input though.
So, after numerous tries, fails and tries agains I got it to print out my quote:
Except that font wasn't a great choice. All those tiny, thin connecting lines don't quite connect and I had to….. Pick. Out. Each. Delicate. Letter. One. At. A. Time.
But, once they were on I gave the whole thing a quick top coat of Antique White, peeled away the vinyl letters, did a little distressing and waxing and BOOM!
Another texty table from Cheltenham Road
Aaand I just noticed two things.
I forgot to put the little metal feet back on it – easy fix.
And I missed the period at the end of the quote so now, rather than looking like a quote from Emerson it looks like I'm informing someone named Emerson of the news about friends and houses.
I see a sharpie in my future.
If any of you are local please come visit me and my chatty furniture at the Little French MarketSaturday & Sunday November 17th and 18th 19130 Ventura Blvd, Tarzana, CA 8AM -3PM

Visual taxonomy for browsing the site
We should create a few Flash-based, interactive maps of nanotechnology, which show various areas (nanoelectronics, nanomaterials, etc.) as bubbles and show the resources on nanoHUB that sit within or near those bubbles. This would act as a roadmap for new users, and also help us identify missing content. These maps should be featured perhaps on the front page and on various topic pages that describe areas of nanotechnology. Note that this might be satisfied in part by the "tag dive" project.
