When you are tired if it you can then put tile over it.

And then when tired of the tile you can put carpet down.

The cost though, no more expensive than other flooring options if you choose to do this during the build.

One contractor here has his whole house stained.  A new wine bar here tore everything out and had it done.  Very old building, they probably re-poured a thin coat over the old foundation slab. And Red Brick Pizza too, they did their slab in a red stain.

I love new stained concrete floors when it's all artsy and stuff. And I love old stained concrete floors when it's filled with life and history.

They also predicted the end of the fast-food franchise industry.  From your link...

Likewise, the International Franchise Association has sued to block implementation of the law, arguing that nobody "in their right mind" would become a franchisee in Seattle. Yet Togo's sandwiches, a franchise chain, is expanding into Seattle, saying the $15 wage isn't a deterrent.

I am currently trying to get an educational permit to visit Cuba, the first island everyone agrees Columbus landed on.  There are several theories about the five island (according to his journal) his ships visited first.

I am inclined to think Egg Island off the North end of Eleuthera was the first island he landed on.  Arnie Molander  had an interesting book with this claim.  What convinced me he was right was that (according to Columbus's journal) the third island he visited his crew took the tenders through the reef to a big island and filled up casks with water.  The only place in the Bahamas where fresh water meets the ocean is Andros and the only way Columbus could get to Andros as the third island is if he was coming from the North end of Eleuthera.

As far as the danger posed by Big Island wild cattle is concerned, it appears to me that the larger the hoofed animal, the more ill-tempered it can be. When we were in southern Africa four years ago, guides told us that the deadliest animals on that continent are not the lion and leopard, but rather the hippopotamus, the elephant and the African Cape buffalo, which together account for the deaths of about 4,000 people annually. While on safari in Chobe Nat'l Park in Botswana, we saw a mother hippo chase off a Cape buffalo that had ventured a little too close to her calf while they were grazing, and boy, could she boogie!

Personally, the scariest wild animal encounter I ever had occurred when I was in college, with a full-grown bull moose in the eastern Cascade foothills, northwest of Spokane. How close were we to him? Close enough to smell him, and believe me, he reeked of composting vegetation and was friggin' huge.

We stumbled upon the moose while on a day hike, and he was none too pleased at the interruption to his own day, and further decided that our presence was terribly annoying. He flashed just enough temper and aggression toward us that we were quickly compelled to backtrack, and then he stalked us from an uncomfortably close distance as we retreated, in order to ensure our departure.

The fact that there were a half-dozen of us proved not the slightest deterrence to that one solitary moose. Were we in any actual physical danger? Probably not -- but he definitely asserted control of the scene and made his wishes known to this bunch of 19- to 21-year-olds. Discretion is always the better part of valor. Afterward, thoroughly chastened by our encounter, we gave the area where we found him a very wide berth, and we had a "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom" moment to share with others over a bong.

As far as I'm concerned, my estimate of the  dangerousness level for North American animals goes (from most to least) something like this:

1.  springtime hungry grizzly bears or bears with cubs - just plain dangerous
   
2.  bison - ornery, big, and dangerous
   
3.  wild cows - similar
   
4.  ordinary grizzly bears
   
5.  rutting moose or elk
   
6.  black bears - springtime hungry or with cubs
   
7.  feral hogs - they'll avoid you until they won't
   
8.  non-rutting moose or elk
   
9.  ordinary black bears
   
10. wolves and cougars
    
11. the rest of them

Teachers are not required to disclose that they are carrying a weapon, and administrators are prohibited from asking if they carry or barring them from bringing their weapons.

Why a man making $44M a year would lie about things that are so easily disprovable is beyond me, but leads me to believe this wasn't his first rodeo.

I hope to god these rumors are right wing fantasy.

JRC scientists analysed surface temperature data records -- which began in 1850 -- to separate natural variations from secular (i.e., long-term) trends. They identified three hiatus periods (1878-1907, 1945-1969 and 2001 to date), during which global warming slowed down. These hiatus periods coincide with natural cooling phases -- the multidecadal variability (MDV), most likely caused by natural oceanic oscillations. The scientists therefore conclude that the MDV is the main cause of these hiatus periods during which global warming decelerated.

However, they found that the current hiatus period is, for the first time, particularly strongly influenced by changes in the secular trend, which shows a strong acceleration from 1992-2001 and a deceleration from 2002 to 2013.Such rapid and strong fluctuations in the secular warming rate are unprecedented.

This unique fluctuation in the recent secular warming rate could have several causes, such as recent changes in the tropical Pacific Ocean, the accelerated melting of Arctic ice, changes in the deep ocean heat storage or the increasing content of aerosols in the stratosphere. The authors recommend further scientific investigation of the causes and consequences of this change, in order to address whether the global climate sensitivity has recently changed. Such research is crucial to understanding current climate conditions and creating plausible scenarios of future climate evolution.

But, okay - let's say you really do put that much stock in public opinion - even though I think it's about the laziest and most dangerous way of deciding what one thinks - suppose we took a poll here and the result was that you should hit the road: would you go?

Or would you suddenly find all the reasons why public opinion should not be accorded that much power?

Stay, go - whatever.  Just understand that most of us have figured out that you're just jim with more education, which you think hides your bigotry.

The straw man you are trying to set up here isn't going to hold up.  You have somehow persuaded yourself that, if Brown's hands were raised, and he didn't "rush" at Wilson, Wilson must be deemed guilty as charged.  You would further have it that it is impermissible to draw inferences about what Wilson will say, when the time comes.  This is frivolous. In an interview by the Post-Dispatch, previously discussed at some length, the construction worker plainly states that, from a distance of 10 feet, Brown, with raised hands, advanced towards Wilson. It is plainly stated that Wilson began to fire only after this advance, as he retreated.  Brown then lowered his hands, and continued towards Wilson another 25 feet, before the last two bullets felled him.  You invite us to suppose that Brown was quite harmless, and was not instructed to halt.  "But the witnesses heard no such instruction!"  So what?  They told the Dispatch they were 50 feet away.  That CNN video reveals they were much more than 50 feet away.  Wilson will testify he feared for his safety, and told Brown to halt.  Was his fear reasonable?  That kind of turns on the assault at the squad car, doesn't it?  And who, having seen that damning video, will doubt that Brown did assault the officer, to avoid arrest, and was indeed dangerous, raised hands or no?    

But I also found the film's underlying theme of sexual repression, exploitation and predation in the 1940s, as well as the fate of the emotionally unstable Lucien Carr (a role played beautifully by Dane DeHaan), to be terribly sad and even somewhat depressing.

So, while I would highly recommend "Kill Your Darlings" to others, I must also do so cautiously for the reason stated above, because I very much doubt that I would watch it again myself.

Actually, it's "were", Sarah.

FWIW, back when Sarah was someone I got called out by the Manners Police for calling the Palins going-on white trash.  I am vindicated.  I knew it when I saw it and still know it when I see it.

Shelf size or floor size.  Floor size would be magnificent
