Cabinets are prepared and crafted using different types of wood. This will create differing effects with the wood grains, colors, and textures, so it is imperative to know the differences between the wood types before making any decisions. At Elite Cabinets, we're here to help you choose which grains and styles are best suited for your living spaces. Read below to get a better idea of what may be best for you.
Types of Wood
Cherry tends toward elegant warm tones, and also darkens considerably as it ages. Cherry has a fine grain that often exhibits swirls and a flowing, random pattern. Cherry's color varies from nearly white to dark reddish brown. Cherry wood cabinets, with a fine to medium grain pattern, provide an elegant look that is suitable for contemporary or traditional styling. It is moderately hard and strong, and resists both warping and checking. While usually pinkish-brown in color, there are also shades of off-white, green, and even gray. An American classic, cherry darkens beautifully with age and contains occasional knots, which gives it a unique beauty.
Maple has a fine, uniform grain pattern, and tends toward lighter colorations. Like all woods, maple will darken with age, but to a lesser degree than cherry. Maple takes on a subtle mottled appearance when finished in the darker stains. Cabinets in maple, a strong hardwood known for its close, uniform grain. Treasured by furniture and cabinet makers for years, the fine texture of maple lends itself well to both contemporary and traditional styling. Maple wood might occasionally include curly or wavy variations in the grain pattern. Colors range from light tan or cream, to yellow, to light reddish-brown.
Oak wood cabinets have a prominent open grain patterns and textured surfaces, which make it a natural choice for those interested in a more traditional or casual country look. This hardwood is heavy-grained and durable, and its visible characteristics include mineral streaks and pin knots, with attractive red or white oak color tones.
Plantation hardwood, aka "Rubberwood," is a moderately heavy timber with a color range of pale cream to yellowish-brown. Its grain is mostly straight, which combines with other unique markings to create clear patterns. Plantation Hardwood's adaptability to machining and acceptance of paints and other finishes make it ideal for traditional or transitional furniture and cabinetry.
Birch wood is a subtle, contemporary and close-grained hardwood, whose colors go from cream to reddish-brown. Its texture is fine and even, and the grain is often straight but can also come in wavy or curly patterns, mirroring maple. With a smooth paintable surface, birch can be stained to resemble mahogany or walnut, but is typically at its best when left natural and sealed with a clear coating.
Thermofoil is milled from vinyl-wrapped material over fiber board. It is applied to cabinetry frames, giving perfect door-to-frame match in comparison to painted frames, which vary in color. Thermofoil cabinets offer contemporary styling, exceptional durability and wear properties, as well as superior cleaning features.
Hickory is a heavy, dense wood that displays vibrant grain patterns and wide variation in color. It is the "outgoing extrovert" of the hardwood family. Lighter stains make this natural variation the most evident, while darker stains tend to mute it.
Red oak is a time-honored favorite that has a prominent, distinctive grain character, and it may show tiny rays and flowing patterns. Red Oak tends toward warm tones, and is very hard with a high shock resistance.
Lyptus is an exotic hardwood that is sustainably grown on environmentally managed South American plantations. Similar in hardness to maple, lyptus has a richly variable coloration and grain that brings fine mahogany to mind.
Rustic alder creates environments with authentic warmth and natural homey charm. Rustic alder has a cherry-like grain, and displays visible knots, mineral, and color variation in the door frame and solid center panel.
Quartersawn white oak uses the more difficult and costly quartersawing method to yield material with a distinctive grain pattern and superior stability. It's ideal for Mission-themed creations
Used in the furniture industry, low pressure laminate allows for contemporary urban-loft styling, and easy-care cabinet attributes such as cleaning and durability. You can obtain the look of wood with the printed maple close wood grain pattern, and simple melamine material, at an affordable cost.

Despite positive investor optimism, 44% don't feel "very well prepared" to handle unexpected $5,000 expense
Public Company Information:
ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--According to a new Wells Fargo/Gallup survey, while individual U.S. investors remain optimistic about the economy, many say they are one emergency away from encountering expenses that could cripple their finances. Barely half of investors, 55%, describe themselves as "very well prepared" to deal with an unexpected $5,000 expense, while 44% are only somewhat prepared or not prepared. Most investors, 83%, feel very well prepared to deal with an unforeseen $1,000 expense, but confidence drops to 33% for a $10,000 expense.
While many of these investors have significant investments, that money isn't necessarily available for sudden expenses, particularly if it is locked in tax-deferred retirement accounts that may be subject to taxes and IRS penalties for early withdrawals.
The Investor and Retirement Optimism Index was essentially unchanged this quarter, coming in at a relatively positive 98, similar to 103 in the second quarter; however, it was a bit higher throughout most of 2017, ranging from 100 to 117. Prior to 2017, the last time the index was as high as it is now was in November 2000.
These findings are based on the third-quarter Wells Fargo/Gallup Investor and Retirement Optimism Index survey, conducted Aug. 13-20, 2018. For this survey, investors are defined as U.S. adults who have $10,000 or more invested in stocks, bonds or mutual funds.
"I'm intrigued that the findings show confidence in both the personal and economic dimensions remain high yet close to half would be challenged to handle an unexpected expense of $5,000," said Dan Prebish, director of Life Event Services at Wells Fargo Advisors. "Given the proportion of investors who appear to be cash-strapped and don't have detailed financial plans, I have to believe that many may see their financial futures through rose-colored glasses."
Investors Are Goal-Setters, Not Detailed Planners
- 15% of non-retired investors appear highly proactive and disciplined – setting specific financial goals and detailed plans to reach them. (Financial Dynamos)
- 49% say they have specific financial goals but rely on broad strategies versus specific plans. (Financial Dabblers)
- 36% are unanchored, saying they manage their finances as they go. (Financial Drifters)
The data suggest that Financial Dynamos benefit from their detailed planning – they are a bit more confident than Financial Dabblers that they will have enough money to maintain their preferred lifestyle in retirement (81% vs. 72%). They are also more likely than the Dabblers to say they are very well prepared to handle an unexpected $5,000 expense (70% vs. 59%).
Very few investors seek professional advice when planning:
- 13% handle their planning by working with a dedicated financial advisor
- 38 % say they mostly do their own planning with occasional advice from a professional advisor
- 42% say they do all their own planning with no professional advice
- 7% say they do no financial planning
Do-it-yourself investors, who do all or most of their own planning, don't utilize external tools or sources:
- 42% rely on their own knowledge or experience for financial planning
- 20% rely on friends or family
- Less than half utilize expert sources such as online financial tools (24%), financial publications (10%) or financial courses/videos (4%).
Investors Least Successful at Saving for Children's Higher Education
Of five possible savings goals that non-retired investors might have, saving for a child's college education is the one they are having the most difficulty reaching. Among those focused on this goal, 27% have completed or made a lot of progress toward it. Another 35% say they have made some progress saving for a child's college; however, 38% -- the highest for any goal -- have made no progress at all.
Beyond buying a home, which most investors have done, investors have been the most successful at saving for a vacation (57% of those with this goal say they've completed saving or made a lot of progress) and building a three-month emergency fund (56%).
"We hear about the crippling effects of massive student loan debt, and based upon the difficulties parents are having saving for their child's education, it appears this trend will continue for the foreseeable future," said Prebish.
Investors Anticipate Making Sacrifices to Succeed Financially
The poll explored several specific sacrifices investors may have to make to improve their financial goals.
Of 11 different actions that could help non-retired investors improve their balance sheets, holding on to their cars longer than they would prefer is the most common investors foresee taking: 81% say they have already done this or are likely to in the future. Working for more years than they would prefer ranks second, at 70%.
Other strategies that majorities of non-retired investors either expect to employ in the future or already have employed are:
- Cancelling their TV subscription (65%)
- Cutting back sharply on their daily living expenses (62%)
- Getting a less expensive cellphone plan (57%)
- Cutting back on vacations (53%)
- Staying in a job or career they don't like (52%)
Not only does the slight majority think they will have to stay in a bad job to support their financial goals, but about half of this group (27%) says they have already done this.
Adds Prebish, "We all have to make financial tradeoffs from time to time, but it's disheartening to learn that one in four working investors has had to endure a bad job experience for financial reasons. Having a specific plan and building savings creates a 'bridge' that could potentially reduce negative scenarios such as this."
Four sacrifices non-retired investors don't anticipate making are downsizing to a smaller home (42%), getting a second job (32%), foregoing saving for a child's education (28%), and delaying having children or having fewer children than they would prefer (26%).
About the Wells Fargo/Gallup Investor and Retirement Optimism Index
The results of this Wells Fargo/Gallup Investor and Retirement Optimism Index are based on a Gallup Panel web study completed by 1,059 U.S. investors, aged 18 and older, from Aug. 13-20, 2018. The Gallup Panel is a probability-based longitudinal panel of U.S. adults who Gallup selects using random-digit-dial phone interviews that cover landline and cellphones. Gallup also uses address-based sampling methods to recruit Panel members. The Gallup Panel is not an opt-in panel. The sample for this study was weighted to be demographically representative of the U.S. adult population, using the most recent Current Population Survey figures. For results based on this sample, one can say that the maximum margin of sampling error is ±5.0 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. Margins of error are higher for subsamples. In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error and bias into the findings of public opinion polls.
For this study, the American investor is defined as an adult in a household with stocks, bonds or mutual funds of $10,000 or more, either in an investment account or in a self-directed IRA or 401(k) retirement account. About two in five U.S. households have at least $10,000 in such investments. The sample consists of 75% nonretirees and 25% retirees. Of total respondents, 39% reported annual incomes of less than $90,000; 61% reported $90,000 or more. The Wells Fargo/Gallup Investor and Retirement Index is an enhanced version of Gallup's Index of Investor Optimism, which provides the historical trend data. The median age of the non-retired investor is 44 and the retiree is 69.
The Index of Investor Optimism has an adjusted baseline score of 100 from when it was established in October 1996. It peaked at +152 in January 2000, at the height of the dot-com boom, and hit a low of -81 in February 2009.

Surface energies, adhesion energies, and exfoliation energies relevant to copper-graphene and copper-graphite systems

We have generated precise values for several key energies that are relevant to Cu-graphene or Cu-graphite systems. Such systems may find technological applications that range from graphene synthesis, to condensation heat transfer, to electrical contacts to graphene, to composites. Using density functional theory, we have calculated surface energies of the three low-index faces of bulk Cu. We find that these surface energies, calculated with the PBEsol functional, are significantly higher than with the more common PBE functional and agree more closely with experiment. We have also calculated the surface energies of graphene and graphite, the exfoliation energy between graphene and graphite, and the adhesion energies between graphene or graphite and a Cu(111) slab. The adhesion energy between a carbon layer and Cu(111) is close to the exfoliation energy and cleavage energy of graphite, the four sets of values spanning a range of only 0.394 to 0.456 J/m2. Our results are consistent with the earlier experimental observation of three-dimensional growth of Cu on top of graphite. The energies are also used to perform a continuum Winterbottom analysis and also discrete (atomistic) variants to predict the equilibrium shapes of Cu particles supported on graphite.
This is a manuscript of an article published as Han, Yong, King C. Lai, Ann Lii-Rosales, Michael C. Tringides, James W. Evans, and Patricia A. Thiel.

"so you believe in the total god that tells us to stone our disrespectful children to death, dash babies against the rocks, etc?"
YES I believe in him! ALL of him, not just the part you talk about. Most of all, I believe in ALL the character of God which allows me to understand harsh laws in light of God's perfect holiness and our evil choices. How can a perfect being allow any corruption to dwell with him? Those laws you talk of were a device to show the Israelites that NO ONE is "good" in the eyes of the Lord, and the smallest, most miniscule infraction against him (if there was no grace or mercy) should be met with death and separation from God forever. The law was given to illustrate that. It was our "teacher" to bring us to Jesus who took the punishment for the miniscule infractions that separated us. *It showed us that we cannot hope to reach God on our own by following laws.* It is by his mercy, love, and grace that we are saved through faith. And even that faith is not of ourselves. It is the gift of God. *No longer are we required to follow a list of do's and don'ts which was never able to save us anyway.* Praise God that he provided a way!
So, go ahead and talk about stoning, it just illustrates the great gulf between you and God. Take the next step, and accept what God has done to bridge the gap.

CS/HB 695 — Title Insurance
by Regulatory Affairs Committee and Rep. Boyd (CS/CS/SB 940 by Commerce and Tourism Committee; Banking and Insurance Committee; and Senator Bradley)
This summary is provided for information only and does not represent the opinion of any Senator, Senate Officer, or Senate Office.
Prepared by: Banking and Insurance Committee (BI)
The bill (Chapter 2016-57, L.O.F.) changes the unearned premium reserve requirement for title insurers that are members of an insurance holding company system having $1 billion or more in surplus as to policyholders and have a financial strength rating of "superior," "excellent," "exceptional," or an equivalent rating by a rating agency acceptable to the Office of Insurance Regulation. Such insurers must have a reserve of a minimum of 6.5 percent of the total of direct premiums written and premiums for reinsurance assumed, with certain adjustments. Currently, only title insurers with a surplus in excess of $50 million can use that formula to calculate required unearned premium reserve.
The bill removes the requirement that a title insurer that transfers its domicile to Florida must set an unearned premium reserve and release its unearned premium reserve under the laws of its previous domicile state. Instead, the bill requires a title insurer that transfers its domicile to Florida to calculate an adjusted statutory or unearned premium reserve as if, on the effective date of redomestication, the insurer had been domesticated in Florida for the previous 20 years and authorizes the release of such reserve.
The bill is not anticipated to have an impact on state funds.
These provisions were approved by the Governor and take effect July 1, 2016.
Vote: Senate 37-0; House 119-0

The trailer of Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt starrer Gully Boy released on January 9. For the event, Bhatt upped her fashion ante in an ivory, double-breasted, off-shoulder dress from Jonathan Simkhai. The striped shirt-style sleeves added an interesting element to her look.
We like how stylist Ami Patel added contrast to the light-hued outfit by pairing it with Le Mill scarlet-hued, peep-toe boots and further accessorising it with oversized hoop earrings.
While Bhatt's outfit was chic and trendy, Singh, known for his quirky fashion statement, opted for a multi-coloured outfit. He committed a fashion faux pas clad in a pair of printed Adidas joggers teamed with a purple hoodie and a bright yellow puff jacket, also from the same brand. Well, that was not all it. Nitasha Gaurav, who styled him, accessorised the attire with a orange headband and green-framed sunnies.
Take a look:
Meanwhile, director and producer Zoya Akhtar opted for a pair of blue jeans teamed with a black wrap-over top and a statement neckpiece while Farhan Akhtar was seen wearing a black jacket and grey checkered trousers.
What do you think the latest looks of Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh?

General Motors Co. (Detroit, Michigan), global automotive manufacturer and steward of such famous brands as Chevrolet, GMC, Buick and Cadillac.
Even the seemingly small projects can turn out to have big consequences; good ones, if you take them seriously. We've always wanted to name a car, so we jumped at the chance to make a name for GM. It was only for a peripheral technology that would appear in just a few models, not a car, but we knew that a job well done could lead to greater things.
GM had licensed an inductive (read: wireless) mobile charging technology from Duracell. Basically, people can charge mobile devices without plugging in cords. Convenient for passengers, and safer for drivers. However, we couldn't use anything even close to Duracell's name for the tech, PowerMat, and GM was spending marketing dollars on the cars, not the charging station, so the name had to sell itself.
The technology could be added to just about any console space, such as slots, slabs, brackets or buckets, so we looked for a name that could accommodate any industrial design. The word "spot" turned out to be relatively unused in this space and useful for all sorts of situations. The word "dock" already has a direct and well-known connection to charging mobile devices. Put them together and you have a name that communicates exactly what people need to know. DockSpot.
Our hard work paid off because this little job turned out to be a test drive. After GM kicked our tires, we got what we always wanted: the chance to name a car.

The once solid friendship between Real Housewives of New York stars, Carole Radziwill and Bethenny Frankel has crumbled, and as the collapse plays out for the Bravo audience, Carole continues to share personal insight, via her Bravo blog.
Carole begins this week's entry by pointing out that viewers are not the only ones surprised by the unfolding breakdown.
"I don't know what any of the other Housewives say when I'm not filming with them. And no one tells us. I sit on my sofa and watch the events unfold at the same time as all of you — and sometimes, like you, I'm shocked by what I see and hear."
Carole shares that she was shocked to hear Bethenny jab at her behind her back, while playing nice to her face.
"In real life, you may never discover that a friend is being nice to your face only to make rude and hurtful comments behind your back. But lucky (or unlucky) for me, I get to hear it all — Bethenny's drumbeat of insults, her spate of digs, and her self-serving narrative."
Carole adds that she feels saddened by her own misjudgment, labeling Bethenny "angry and unhappy."
"When I hear a bunch of snide comments being hurled, part of me reacts with, I don't really care what Bethenny thinks of me, she seems so angry and unhappy. Relationships change. They ebb and flow over time, and friends ultimately show you who they are. I'm a grown-up, yet I can't help but feel sad that I let into my life a person who I thought supported me, respected me, and enjoyed me, and she has revealed herself to be the complete antithesis. That is my thoughtful Austrian side. But my fiery Italian side is more like, 'What the f**k did she just say?!'"
Carole accuses Bethenny of having a "hidden agenda" — one which involves bashing her character.
"I was taught to stand up for myself. To be heard. To defend my family and people I love. And to never let anyone question my character, intelligence, or integrity. And that is exactly what Bethenny has been slowly, insidiously trying to do all season with her hidden agenda. It's pathetic, and I'm not about to take it. Up until this episode, I have not said a single unkind word about Bethenny in those confessional interviews or to any of our mutual friends — on or off camera. Not one single thing."
Carole slams Bethenny's view as "narcissistic," as she wraps her thoughts for this week.
"But in Bethenny's myopic world, she's the judge, jury, and executioner. Her narcissistic point of view doesn't permit any dissenters — only her truth matters. It's astounding to watch. Then again, in the post-truth age of consuming fake news, Bethenny's world of magical thinking will probably be rewarded with its own spin-off."
Bethenny has not delivered her own blog in two weeks, but retweeted viewer support, during Wednesday night's episode.
Team Bethenny or Team Carole? Sound off in the comments, and watch The Real Housewives of New York, Wednesday nights on Bravo.

ERT's Vice President and Global Chief Data Officer, Dr. Prakriteswar Santikary is a featured speaker at The Data Warehousing Institute (TDWI) conference in Las Vegas, NV. On February 13, 2019, he will present, "Modern Data Platform at Scale: The Role of Cloud, Microservices, and Serverless Architecture," with examples of how ERT has structured its global data architecture to meet the increasingly complex needs of clinical trial sponsors.
Download Dr. Santikary's presentation here.
Clinical trials are fraught with missteps and data quality issues that often create costly delays in bringing life-saving drugs and diagnoses to the market. Often, data quality issues and data integration challenges cause clinical trials to fail. Today's complex clinical studies, which are also distributed around the globe, generate vast amounts of data from disparate sources, mobile health devices, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, systems, vendors, and clinical endpoints.
Not only is the clinical data voluminous, it often comes at tremendous velocity commingled with data variety, including a combination of structured, unstructured, and binary data formats. On top of this, these disparate systems are not interoperable in a standard manner, creating data silos and inhibiting real-time integrated clinical trial information for real-time decision making, risk analysis, and compliance monitoring.
Dr. Santikary's presentation will focus on the architecture of a modern, cloud-based, real-time data and analytics platform that ingests any type of clinical data (structured, unstructured, binary, lab values, etc.) at scale from any data source. The presentation will focus on laying out the architectural building blocks of this modern data platform using "serverless" data pipeline, cloud architecture, data governance, and master data management.

Name: Eugene "Gene" (Jackson) (Hoskins)
Nicknames: Pineapple, Snowball (in The Mysterious Mystery! )
Played By: Eugene Jackson
Born: 1916
Relatives: Farina (brother)
Clubs: None
First Short: The Mysterious Mystery!
Last Short: Shootin' Injuns
Bio: Not much is known about Pineapple. So named because his hair comes out of the top of his head like the leaves of a pineapple, he is revealed as Farina's older brother after they both get "speckled fever" and will both be out of school for six weeks at the same time the circus is in town in Circus Fever. When he's not stuck at home or in school, Pineapple earns pennies as a page for the local beauty salon, which the gang explores during their visit. When they get locked in a boxcar at the railroad yard, Pineapple and the others get an unexpected trip to New York City to see the sights. He and Farina also own a dog in Dog Days.
- "Lissen, Hawk-eye -- They's callin' us!" - Pineapple (as Snowball) in The Mysterious Mystery
- "Ah got speckle fever - We kaint go to school fo' six weeks." - Pineapple (as Gene) in Circus Fever
- "Ah works me down in the beauty shop - We makes people look like what they ain't." - Pineapple in The Love Bug
- Pineapple is referred to as "Snowball" in The Mysterious Mystery! and as "Gene" in Circus Fever and Shootin' Injuns.

Go On and Kiss the Girl
A male a cappella group at Princeton University has pulled a Disney movie song from its act following a student newspaper column that suggested the lyrics helped promote "toxic masculinity." The Princeton Tigertones have performed "Kiss the Girl," a song from "The Little Mermaid," for years. During performances at the Ivy League school, a female audience member would be brought onstage to decide whether or not a man from the crowd could kiss her.
Noa Wollstein, who wrote the column, claimed the song's message is misogynistic and that too many women have been pulled on stage for unwanted encounters. "I have seen a queer student brought on stage have to uncomfortably push away her forced male companion," Wollstein, a sophomore from New York, wrote in her column. "I have heard of unwilling girls being subjected to their first kisses. I have watched mothers, who have come to see their child's performance, be pulled up to the stage only to have tension generated between them and the kid they came to support."
In a response published in the newspaper, Tigertones' President Wesley Brown apologized to anyone made uncomfortable by the tradition. He said the group won't perform the song until it can find a way to do so without offending any audience members.
Well, boo-hoo. I sure hope none of these tender virgins ever attends an audience-participation screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show or anything else that will force them to confront "toxic" masculinity -- or in the case of Rocky Horror, trans-gay masculinity.
Let's take a gander at the "offending" song:
To this we've come in the age of trans-something asexual snowflakes whose profound insensitivity to human nature is matched only by their utter ignorance of biology, history, romance, the arts, and just about everything else good life has to offer. What a miserable bunch of scolds these latter-day Erinyes are:
Wollstein also criticized "The Little Mermaid" song for "unambiguously encourag[ing] men to make physical advances on women without obtaining their clear consent... Removed from its cushioning context of mermaids, magic, and PG ratings, the message comes across as even more jarring," Wollstein wrote.
Maybe somebody -- a real female somebody -- needs to explain the birds and the bees to Ms. Wollstein. Unless the future of the human race is the Elois who result from the test-tube mating of soy boys and harridan SJWs, she ought to be thankful for the "toxic" males who built and have defended civilization for eons. As I tweeted the other day:
And speaking of "toxic" masculinity (as opposed to soy-boy "masculinity"):
Somebody please send Ms. Wollstein a copy of Camille Paglia's Sexual Personae. She's going to need all the help she can get. And then make the a cappella group join the Marines. America could use more "toxic" males, not fewer.

Protecting Your Startup: Everything You Need to Know about I.P. but Were Afraid to Ask
Thu, April 2, 17:30 – 19:30
Knobbe Martens Olson - 2nd Floor Conference Center, 2040 Main St - 2040 Main St - Irvine, CA 92614
If you develop a product or method that has commercial value, you probably don't want someone to sell copies. You probably also want to be able to block the entry of competitive alternatives. That way you can control pricing and quality in a relevant product marketplace. You may also want to raise capital, from investors who have expectations about the certainty of future revenue streams. For many technologies, a strategically developed patent portfolio is the only way to reach these goals. The details get complex. But demystified, there are really only three fundamental issues in patent law. Our panel of experts will consider them one at a time, and invite real time questions from the audience via a twitter platform.
The first issue is whether you own the technology. Inventions are initially owned by the true inventor. But there are many ways that the inventor can give title away, sometimes without realizing that until it is too late.
The second is whether you can patent it. Not all inventions are patentable, and patentability is evaluated against a body of prior art that is vastly more comprehensive than products that you see in the marketplace.
The third and maybe the most important is whether you have freedom to operate without infringing upon the patent rights of others. The fact that you may have your own patents, and that you developed the idea by yourself, don't matter.
You might want to understand all three as well as you can, before investing time, money and emotional energy developing your idea.

Tourna Damp
It has easy stretch and high rubber content for excellent longevity. First used by Andre Agassi. You can see it on many of the current pros' racquets. Simple, yet it effectively tones down the string "ping" sound and delivers a solid "thud" sound when you smash the ball even on off center hits. For: Tennis, Racquetball & Squash

I just asked for a re-assignment on my only writing project this week. I stand to earn almost $200 from that but I seem to be feeling down lately and I haven't really made any progress on writing the report. Rather than forcing myself (and producing a low-quality report), I had it re-assigned.
Has this ever happened to you? Anyone?
emievil are you ok? I hope you get over what is bothering you for now, and you can always continue writing for them again after sometime, hugs,
Physically, yep. Emotionally, uhm, not sure. Nothing in particular. Just not feeling that good at the moment. Don't worry, I have this like once a month then it goes away .
it will go away soon emie, it happens to everybody, hope it will be soon so you can go back to normal,
It happens to me when I miss my children, I just sit down take a deep breath and write a poem, do you like to share and write a poem about it, then post it, cmon write one, ok, hugs again
I get that way a lot Emi where I don't want to write or do anything. But that is because I have no job. We all have down days...it's normal unfortunately. I hope that things pick up for you!
Sometimes we all need a break. I don't know if this is how it is for you, but as a freelancer I spend just about as much time LOOKING for work as I do doing it. That on top of earning a Master's degree and some days I really have to say "No" when a client sends a proposal...even if I would really like the money.
It sounds like you need some rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Try to take a day planned all around relaxing things that you like, but don't normally get to do. You deserve it, and probably you need it.
i have never had anything reassigned, as there isnt anyone to reassign TOO. But i would if i could. sometimes stuff just doesnt get done. i hope you feel better soon. dont be hard on yourself, everyone needs a break somtimes.
Dont panic, take a few minutes relax, have a coffee, read the news, do something else for a while, clear the mind, then get back to your assignment, go for a walk, but never panic.....
Thanks theirishobserver. Actually, the re-assignment has been done already. I had it the project for 4 days and I haven't done anything concrete. Usually, when this happens, I know I'm not meant to do the project so I usually unload it to somebody who can.
I'm in the same position as you are in. I haven't had it re-assigned, but I'm motivating myself by reading a few light articles, taking some time to enjoy the day and getting plenty of sleep. I feel better today, and can actually think about the writing. Sometimes, we just need to let the brain rest, let the body enjoy some restful time and sleep always helps. It's taken me two weeks to reach this point... I understand that yours is due this week, so you've a more tight time constraint. Don't worry, just your body telling you to take some time for yourself.
I hope you'll feel better Emi!!! (((HUGS)))
*hugz back* Thanks Beth. The re-assignment is done. I think I did the right thing because I'm starting to feel better already .
Writer's block...! How many of us suffer from it sometimes....esp. when it's for a 'job' rather than pure enjoyment. I think it's more like the 'pressure' of getting the assignment done that's probably getting to you.....? Well, just focus on other things for a while, and then one morning brace yourself for it and just get it done with! meanwhile, here's a hug!
Thanks Beth. I'd like to have a big pizza with everything on it . But have to go to sleep now. It's almost midnight here. I'll dream about that free lunch Beth .
Thanks everyone for your posts and for making me feel better. Will go to sleep now. Good night all!

Sound Transit bus changes for 2019 respond to construction closures and congestion
When traffic slows down, either because of congestion or construction, buses can't make as many trips in the same amount of time. That's the simple equation driving most of the changes to Sound Transit's express bus service in 2019.
Every year Sound Transit analyzes all of its routes to identify routes or trips that do not meet standards or that need additional investment, ensuring that resources are being used efficiently as part of the annual Service Implementation Plan (SIP).
The SIP proposes service changes for the following year, and provides forecasts of future service, fleet needs and available funds.
The 2019 SIP will change several ST Express routes to increase the agency's ability to operate service reliably when construction projects close some transit facilities to buses in 2019 and help to optimize service in the face of increasing regional congestion.
The conversion of the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel (DSTT) to rail-only operations and the closure of the Montlake Freeway station for construction of the the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) "Rest of the West" Project to replace the State Route 520 bridge from Montlake to Interstate 5 are driving many of the upcoming changes for March 2019.
Other changes aim to improve regional transit integration and use resources more efficiently. Here's the basics:
- Route 550 will move to surface streets in downtown Seattle because of the shift to rail-only operations in the DSTT. Rail-only operations in the tunnel will increase Link light rail reliability.
- Routes 545 and 555 will bypass Montlake Boulevard when the Montlake Freeway Station closes.
- Route 542 will continue to serve stops on Montlake Boulevard, and will continue to connect to routes 545 and 555 on SR 520. This route will have expanded evening and weekend service through September 2019, as part of a tri-party agreement between Sound Transit, WSDOT and King County Metro.
- Route 513 will start at Community Transit's new Seaway Transit Center in Everett. The route will serve a new stop at Casino Road and Evergreen Way, which will replace the current stop at Evergreen Way and 79th Place. All other stops will remain the same.
- Route 580 will have fewer trips; low-ridership trips will be discontinued and others will run only between Puyallup Station and the South Hill park-and-ride. Resources will be reinvested to improve service in Pierce County.
- Route 555 will operate only between Northgate and Bellevue, and will no longer serve the low-ridership segment between Bellevue, Eastgate and Issaquah. Resources will be reinvested into improving reliability on Route 554. Riders can use King County Metro route 271 for trips between Issaquah and Bellevue.
Additional changes are proposed for September 2019 and will be released through a separate process early next year.
(Editor's note: The full SIP is a treasure trove of Sound Transit bus and rail operations information - from ridership figures by route and stop to long-range fleet and capacity planning. Our service planning folks have done a great job making it into and eminently readable and useful resource over the past few years.)

Cactus identification
I bought a cactus with a bright day glow pink bloom on the top of it. I'm trying to find out the correct name for it, because I'm using it in my biology report with pictures. I certainly can't incorporate my cactus in my assignment if I don't know the correct name and origin and scientific name for it. I also propagate succulents but I don't know the name of that either! Please help, thank you.
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
The cactus you have is a very interesting grafted specimen. The pink section on the top is a moon cactus, scentific name Gymnocalycium mihanovichii. It is a mutant variety of that species which cannot produce green chlorophyll and appears pink because of other biochemical compounds it contains. Without chlorophyll, it cannot photosynthesize, so it would die without being grafted to the green cactus on the bottom, which is most likely a Hylocereus cactus (I am not sure of the species).
Your succulent is probably some variety of Echeveria.

Wedding photography in and around Lancashire
Hello and thanks for visiting my website, I hope you enjoy having a mooch around.
I'm based in Lytham St Annes on the beautiful Fylde coast with the beach just a pebble's throw away… life is good. I've been photographing weddings all over Lancashire, Cheshire, Merseyside, the Lake District, Yorkshire and further afield for the last 12 years, since launching Kath Occleston Photography and shooting my first wedding back in 2008. Since then, I've created thousands of photographs for newlyweds over the years, all unique, all very special and all will continue to tell beautiful stories for years to come.
I'm so lucky to be doing what I love! Photography for me is about the freedom to express and be creative. Throw a wedding into the mix and it is all about the emotion, the romance and the fun of the wedding day. It's more than just a set of photographs, it's the reason they are taken. I love to create photographs that are natural and relaxed, whether it's with subtle direction or when you don't know I'm there, I'm always looking for the best of you.
Finding inspiration in the often chaotic and unpredictable world of weddings is a challenge worth its weight in purple sapphires. I get to create something meaningful and magical for my clients, something you will love now as well as look back on in years to come… and smile, laugh and maybe even shed a few happy tears!
Whether you are having a small intimate wedding or a grand extravaganza of a day, I will create the absolute best and most authentic wedding photographs that I can, filled with real emotion and natural expressions. I'm there from getting ready to the party at night along with my second shooter to ensure you get the best possible memories of your day.
It's all about the people, the story and the legacy.
Please contact me if you are interested in having me photograph your wedding!
Natural wedding photographs capturing the heart and soul of your day and make you fall in love all over again.

Right from our formation time, we learnt various table manners so that we can make social interactions much better. If that is what we mean as etiquette then it will also be good to learn couple of things about the Japanese green tea too.
At least by learning few etiquettes about Japanese tea, you can make a good impression on your Japanese friend.
How to serve Japanese green tea
- In case you brewed green tea in your kitchen or somewhere which is not too close to your table, then it will be convenient to have tray. You can use a yunomi which is Japanese tea cup along with saucer underneath for best results.
- Ensure that your yunomi must not be completely filled, rather fill it up to 80%.
- The yunomi and saucer must face you. In case, the saucer is made of wood, then the wood grain must be horizontal.
- Try to lower the tray at table edge or somewhere close if there is not enough space.
- By using your both hands pick up yunomi along with its saucer. Give it to the guest who is on your right side, assuming that there will be some eatables in front of your guest.
- Now, lightly pick up saucer and then rotate it in such a way that the cup's front will face the guest, and then put it back. Don't slide saucer on the table.
How to drink Japanese green tea?
While drinking just imagine you as a guest. After tea was served to everyone, the first thing that you may do is just bow slightly and then say in Japanese "itadakimasu". This will mean "I will eat/drink" by showing a little sense of gratitude.
In case, there is no Japanese person around then you can skip this step.
If the yunomi comes along with a lid, then open the lid by using your right hand, then turn it 90ᵒ so that in case any condensed vapor drops are there, then they may fall into the yunomi. Now place lid on table with inside facing up.
Hold the yunomi by using the right hand and support it from below by using your left hand. Any men can have his index finger raised on the rim of yunomi, but women should have all the fingers in the right hand below rim.
You might have noticed that using both hands will be considered as polite in Japan. Same principle will apply in many situations, e.g. when pouring or serving alcoholic beverages and also while giving/receiving gift.
Without making any sound, you must drink the tea. In case tea is very hot, you cannot blow on it. Just wait till it cools downs, but do not wait too long as it could be rude.
In case, your lipstick mark remains on the yunomi, then use right hand index and thumb to wipe it off gently. Now place yunomi back on the saucer. After you finished drinking then say "gochisousama deshita" which means that you had a delicious treat.

The second largest city in Poland, and home to Europe's largest medieval market square, Krakow is a fascinating city steeped in history.
The area covering the old town and the Kazimierz district (the historic Jewish neighbourhood) was among the first UNESCO World Heritage Sites to be designated as such, along with the Wieliczka Salt mine.
Krakow can easily be covered on foot. Start from the old market square, and explore the imposing cloth hall, a covered market full of stalls and perfect for souvenir hunting. Head down Grodzka street, part of the 'Royal Route', to impressive Wawel castle, where you can easily spend the morning. From there follow signs to the Kazimierz district, the most interesting and bohemian part of the city, where you can explore the old synagogues and Jewish cemeteries, or enjoy the many bars and restaurants there. Cultural events are often organised here, so see what's on before you go.
Other places of interest in the city include the fascinating Schindler's factory, now a museum and well worth a visit, and the Kościuszko Mound which at 34 metres high offers spectacular views over the city.
Popular day trips include the Wieliczka Salt mine, a labyrinth of tunnels reaching over 300m underground that can be visited by guided tour (again highly recommended), and the Auschwitz-Birkenhau concentration camp which everyone should visit during their lifetime.

Blue Sherlock
Blue Sherlock was born on Jeremy's thighs, in a piece of trash Toyota Camry somewhere between Orange and the Mountains. A banger was blaring on the radio, his hands were going a million miles an hour on his trousers while Willem yelled a bit and played air guitar. "Hey man, we should jam sometime."
Since then, Willem and Jeremy have been concocting the dirty, delicious, bluesy funk that is Blue Sherlock. Living proof that the Blues is alive, well, and ready to kick your teeth in.

Quito Direct Enrollment - Universidad San Francisco de Quito

IES Abroad's mission is simple: to provide you with the best study abroad program possible—which includes the highest quality academic and cultural experiences. That is why we partnered with the Universidad San Francisco de Quito.
Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ)
USFQ offers nearly 1,500 courses each semester in a variety of disciplines. You take all of your courses at USFQ (excluding service learning seminars) and carry 15 to 19 credits per semester. You are required to take a Spanish language course and are allowed to participate in any course in any department provided you meet the discipline and language prerequisites, as demonstrated on the Spanish language placement exam.
Specific course listings are available through the USFQ website: https://evaluaciones.usfq.edu.ec/banner/ssb/cursos2019.php?perfil=69856454f9402120c9430e12167c3499
The following are some of the numerous disciplines in which IES Abroad students have previously enrolled.
- Architecture
- Arts
- Business Administration
- Communications
- Culinary Arts
- Education
- Engineering
- Health Science
- Hospitality
- Humanities & Economics
- Languages
- Management
- Mathematics
- Sciences
- Social Scienes

In addition to your courses at USFQ, you can participate in a service learning placement and enroll in the IES Abroad seminar, IN/SL395 Internship and Service Learning Seminar (4 credits).
|Course Name
|SL 395 - Service Learning Seminar
|Spring, Fall
Advising & Support
In a direct enrollment program, you are enrolled as a full-time student at one of our international partner institutions. Even though your local host institution is where you'll take your classes, we're still here to fully support you.
Choosing and directly enrolling in courses abroad can be confusing and overwhelming—we offer you predeparture advising that's specific to your needs. Our goal is to provide support and guidance throughout your application and enrollment process.
But our advising services don't stop there. While you're in Quito, our staff is available to help you transition into your new home.
On-Site Staff
As an IES Abroad student directly enrolled at Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ), you have access to on-site IES Abroad staff who are specifically dedicated to your needs. Our on-site staff work with you and your local institution to answer any questions about academic requirements, housing, or well-being and safety.
Our support services for direct enrollment students are specifically designed to help you achieve your study abroad goals as effectively and smoothly as possible. We know studying abroad is an adventure, and, at times, you may need help or just someone to talk to—that's why our staff is there for you.
Service Learning
Participating in a service learning experience in Quito is an opportunity to give back to the community while gaining a much deeper understanding of the city's culture and society. Working alongside local people toward a common goal, you experience first-hand some of the social and economic issues that affect Quito, while contributing your skills toward a community-driven solution.
A service learning experience consists of time spent with a local organization, accompanied by an academic, for-credit service learning seminar. Through the seminar you have structured time for reflection, discussion, and research on the issues of your host community.
Possible placements may include organizations focusing on:
- Community health
- Economic development
- Social issues unique to Quito
Field Trips & Events
Even though your adventure starts in Quito, our field trips take you beyond the city to discover the cultures and traditions of your host country. There is an additional fee for multi-day field trips; the Otavalo trip is included in the program cost. Here are a few possible destinations.
Amazon Rainforest Region
4 Days | Fall & Spring
Hike the world's largest and most biologically diverse rainforest with a local guide.
The Galápagos Islands
4 Days | Fall & Spring
Explore the ecological diversity of the Galápagos, go snorkeling, and learn how to identify local flora and fauna.
1 Day | Fall & Spring | Orientation
Explore this largely indigenous town where residents are famous for weaving textiles. The "Plaza de los Ponchos" in Otavalo is the largest indigenous market in the world.
Note: IES Abroad field trip destinations, activities, and lengths of stay may vary according to term and availability.
Daily Life
Part of making you feel at home in Quito is doing our best to help you feel safe and cared for. Whether it is an orientation program that makes you feel prepared, housing that is well-located and comfortable, or the field trips that take you to places off the beaten path—we're all about our student services.
The program begins with a mandatory orientation that introduces you to the IES Abroad Quito staff, your fellow students, and the city of Quito.
Our Comprehensive Orientation & Re-Entry Experience (CORE™) begins right when you arrive and continues through the semester with activities focusing on academic and cultural adjustment. Detailed information about housing, public transportation, culture, health and safety, and other important topics are also covered.
We want to make sure that your greatest challenge is deciding which landmarks to see first or discovering the best café—not finding a place to live where you feel comfortable. We do our best to locate housing that is reflective of how the local students are living. Our goal is that when you leave Quito, it will feel like home.
As part of our direct enrollment services, we offer well-located, comfortable housing for all students, because securing housing independently can be challenging. IES Abroad's housing options reflect the local student culture and meet our safety and security standards.
Homestays - You will have a private furnished room in the home of a family or a señora in or near Cumbaya Valley. Homestay hosts provide three meals daily. You will be provided all of your bed linens and towels, and laundry is provided too.
Extracurricular Activities & Cultural Events
Redefine the way you live and learn in Quito through our cultural events and activities, such as visits to:
- Participate in a Quito cultural Chiva, an open bus with a brass band that makes city tours
- Attend Andean folkloric music concerts
- Take workshops on making Ecuadorian meat pastries
- Participate in soccer games
- Visit museums and other local hot spots
University Clubs & Events
You can join a number of clubs through USFQ's extensive extracurricular program. Past students have participated in a film club, an ecology club, the school's many sports teams, and the Ecuabuddies program. Academic and cultural events are presented at the university each week and are open to you as an IES Abroad student.

Travel via bus to the place where the northern and southern hemispheres meet and stand at the middle of the Earth.
