Education & Reference - 8 June 2006

I need two words to describe areas in the house (we are selling and need to advertise). One-the area in front of a fireplace on the floor (not the hearth). The carpet was burned by embers, so I replaced that portion with stone tiles. Is there a special name for the floor in front of a fireplace?
And the second- we have a large 2-person jacuzzi tub. The tub is not sunken, but surrounding it is a raised area (raised to the level of the top of the tub), tiled in shiny indigo. It a place to sit while drying off, or sit and talk to someone in the tub...it makes the tub look sunken, since this raised area is about 3-4 feet out from the tub. Is there a special name for this raised and tiled area?
Thank you so much if you can help- Besides the points, I'll be more than happy to answer any question you have on medical or scientific matters!

There are so many research sites and everyone on here obviously has, pretty much, unlimited access to the web, so why not find your own answers?

You see, I recently found out that someone experienced in law that went to one of the top 25 Law Schools can get $150,000 - $200,000, and then once you qualify as a senior partner you can get $1,000,000 yearly. I truly and deeply want to succeed in this career and get a good pay. I am getting older and need to start planning my future ahead of time. Please help me.

How many languages do you speak. How many did you go to school to learn and how many did you pick up on along the way.
I read, write and speak 7. Went to school for 2 and picked up the rest along the way. I am asking because I am planing to go travel to China and have found out that Chinese is one of the hardest languages to learn. Its almost impossible for learn chinese currently because i live in Mexico and there are no Chinos anywhere close to where I live, schools for chinese language etc. ........ Any advice.............
