Tile Creations did a superb job! My bathroom looks completely different now, it's like a breathe of fresh air when you walk in! We replaced our vinyl tile with travertine, and Andre and his team did a wonderful job. Andre even had suggestions about what styles would fit nicely together in the bathroom. Each day they arrived on time and respected our house, cleaning up after. My wife and I could not be happier with the job. If we ever need anymore tile work done, we'll be sure to give Andre a call!
I used Tile Creations to do a complete renovation on the master bathroom at my rental property. I could not be happier with Tile Creation's work! From start to finish and top to bottom, every part of the process and the product was smooth (and I inspected each day), well done, and professional. I especially appreciate how Andre and the team made my tenants feel so comfortable. My new bathroom is rock solid and beautiful. And, Andre and the team cleaned-up promptly and completely during and after the job. I HIGHLY recommend.
Tile Creations kept their word to my wife and I. We're happy with how our work relationship turned out.
We always appreciate the goodwill of our customers.

Guy delayed project many times and night before asked for a deposit I didn't support. He backed out.
This job was a shower pan repair. When we came out to his job, we had the open time for his work, but the customer could not locate the matching tile for the job. It took about two weeks. At that point we were in a very large job from which we could not peel away--thus, we could not come when the homeowner asked, once he found his tile. We agreed to begin the project, but the homeowner refused to pay a deposit, which is our company policy. It is not his fault that we have had customers in the past who have been unable to pay after we have started their job--but in an effort to avoid such situations, we request a deposit for every job. This covers any out of pocket expenses we have for materials. We are regretful that we could not work with this situation, but this is one company policy we cannot relax.

They replaced our vinyl floor with porcelain tile and tore out the old fiberglass tub surround, and put in tile. It's beautiful and my bathroom looks completely different. They are great to work with and very affordable. I will call them again.
Start to finish, I'm happy with the jobs. We took advantage of a promotion deal and Andre did a great job of staying within the budget and getting us a couple of upgrades. The guest bath looks like something out of a magazine. Andre gave us a good amount of choices and when we needed a larger vanity it was no problem for him to upgrade it at a fair cost. The tile work is beautiful and we love the look of the tub surround--it even has a niche for soap built in. As soon as we saw how nice the bathroom looked we contracted with Tile Creations for our master bath. Andre and his crew came back and turned a dated 1990 boring bath into a sleek new space that we love to be in. We chose a tumbled stone and they did a great job of opening up our shower and putting in a gorgeous frameless door. They moved the wall out, added a step to the tub deck, put in a dual-flush toilet, and replaced the vanities and all the fixtures in the bathroom. They even changed out the light fixtures. It's so clean and fresh, very sophisticated. They were on time, listened to what we wanted, made changes when we wanted something different, and finished on time. Every time I saw any of their crew, they were all so nice and they stayed late to make sure it was clean each day. Loved having them in. I recommend highly.
Completely remodeled two (2) full baths. This included a new metal bathtub, ceramic tile shower stall, both toilets, both cabinet and sink top, all towel bars, toilet paper holders, soap dish, light fixture, mirror and medicine cabinet, installed exhaust fan with ceiling light and handicap bars in tub/shower area. Also one bath room needed a new sub floor that was installed, both were tiled beautifully and also the floors were tile, One bath had wall paper that they removed, all walls were sanded and prepared for paint. Beautifully painted.They put plastic runners down in all walk areas. They cleaned up each night perfectly, Removed all old fixtures, cabinets, carpet, toilets. Hosed down my front porch and drive way each night before leaving making sure to clean any dust or debris left from the days work.Started work each day at 8:00 am and stayed until 5:00-5:30 each day.There wasn't anything my husband or myself were left to finish or complete or clean up.Of course they made sure we had a working toilet and shower before starting work on the second bath.We were not inconvenience in the slightest way.GREAT JOB!!!!
We bought 2 of the $5000 bathroom remodel deals in August, 2012. We met with Andre to choose materials and upgrades and agreed on plans for both jobs. When the first bathroom project began in early November, the materials had not been purchased when the job started and I had to make substitutions for the faucets, bath tub, and vanity top I had chosen with little time to research the products. The crew worked hard and did good work, but they had not been told exactly what tasks were included in the deal. After some communication problems, the finished bathroom was satisfactory, and a good deal for the money. The day before the second bath remodel was to start, Andre told me he would not do it. He took the materials, gave me a refund of the money I had paid him for the upgrades, and said I should contact Angie's List about the $5000 I had paid in August. There was no explanation given for his refusal to honor the contract. I would not use this company again, or recommend him to friends.
Company Response: TO any future customers reading this review. we did a great job for the Member.In which they have said them selves. The problem was we were treated very poorly by the customers. without going into detail and trying to stay professional I'll leave that out.They wanted us to do the other bathroom very badley.and i flat out refused to do the job. I preferred to give them a refund.As a small business owner and every penny counts.So please understand it had to be a very bad situation were i was willing to return $6,000 back to them.and I lost another $1000 of material that was pre-order for that bathroom.Bottom line treat people like people.I've been in this business for 20 years and never been subjected to anything like this before.

Talk about PROFESSIONALS..We needed to have our bathroom tub area regouted and the carpet torn up and replaced with tile..on top of the pricing range that couldn't be beat...THE FRIENDLESS in the service and SINCERE CONCERN of any issues that may have arised during the process...They were truly on top of things..THE QUALITY AND TRUE CRAFTSMENSHIP THEY DEMONSTRATED was a truly love of what they do..I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM TO EVERYONE AND ANYONE..THANKS"TILE CREATIONS" FOR A JOB WELL DONE!!!!!!
We just purchased a house that needed to have the kitchen upgraded. We asked four companies to provide a quote on installing tile for the floor and putting in a backsplash. Andre was quick on the draw. He was first to provide a quote and it was the most reasonable. But more importantly, our floor looks great and they did a great job cleaning up after the tile was installed. In addition, when there were questions about the installation process, Andre was very quick to answer our questions. We can't wait to see how the backsplash will look!
I had my fireplace tiled for the winter to give it a new look. I called Tile Creations and they came right out to give an estimate. The staff were so friendly and gave very good advice as to what to to. I had the job done and it looks awesome!!1 Thanks for a great experience Tile Creations!!!
Having your kitchen floor out of commission is hard, so I was really happy at how quickly Tile Creations tore out my old floor and put in new tile. Not only did they get the job done in less than a week, but they were so clean in how they did it! Every day they left the area spotless. They made it such an easy process. Andre listens to your concerns and tries hard to work with you to get exactly what you want. I've already given his card to a friend. Great job, guys!

July 22, 2014
The dream of a playground all children can use is coming closer to reality every day with a $10,000 donation from Peoples Bank.
"It's good because it's fun to play with a playground," says Madelon (Maddie) Reeves, a 15-year-old Parkersburg High School student.
She's a teen with Down syndrome who helps valley children with disabilities.
"Madelon brought it to my attention; I start looking around," says Juli Reeves, Maddie's mom. "So I saw the need at that time."
They can't navigate the typical city park playground.
"A wheelchair will not go through the mulch; there's a rubber barrier all the way around the playground that the parents have to lift the wheelchair up over to even get into the mulch. Then they have to climb steps to get onto the playground equipment," Juli says.
That segment of the population is being left out.
"Some of these children have to sit out on the sidelines and not get to participate and play with their siblings or friends was saddening," Juli says. "It's disheartening."
West Virginia has the highest rate of disabilities in the U.S. and a Parkersburg organization known for their philanthropic work steps in to make a difference.
"We brought it to the Junior League of Parkersburg and at that time we decided to go ahead and make that a project," Juli says. "We voted on that and it passed."
Funding is a challenge they're trying to overcome.
"We would love for the money to come in so we can get this completed, so we're hoping in the next few years," Juli says.
It's a groundbreaking new playground for the Mountain State.
According to Juli, this will be the first in the state to be a boundless playground that is accessible to all children.
The JuLePs Pathways Boundless Playground project will also have a walking track so moms can exercise while watching their kids enjoy the playground.
It will have a $400,000 price tag once it's finished.

The Sabres are on the ice in HSBC Arena, getting their final workout in before traveling to Philadelphia for Game One on Thursday. All the players are present. The lines:
Thomas Vanek-Tim Connolly, Jason Pominville
Tyler Ennis-Brad Boyes-Drew Stafford
Nathan Gerbe-Paul Gaustad-Patrick Kaleta/Mark Mancari
Rob Niedermayer-Matt Ellis-Mike Grier/Cody McCormick
The Sabres practiced the power play for a while with the following units: Stafford-Vanek-Connolly, with Marc-Andre Gragnani and Pominville on the points; and Boyes-Gaustad-Ennis, with Chris Butler and Tyler Myers on the blue line.
The Flyers boast one of the league's most-potent group of forwards, so the Sabres are getting their defensemen ready right now. The Sabres are running a two-on-one drill, with the D-men left on an island.
More following practice.

Mercer County Circuit Court Judge Derek Swope denied bond Monday for a father and son facing charges of first-degree murder in the death of a Summers County man.
Both Oscar Combs Sr., 44, of Bud, and Oscar Combs Jr., 21, of Herndon, appeared in separate bond hearings. Prosecuting Attorney Scott Ash said the state objected to bond in both cases due to the seriousness of the charge, and the possibility of both men being a flight risk.
James "Bo" Butler, 55, was shot execution-style in the back of his head, according to the complaint, filed by West Virginia State Police Cpl. A.S. Reed of the Hinton detachment.
His body was discovered two or three weeks later in Wyoming County.
Police arrested the father and son last week in connection with Butler's death.
In the complaint, Reed said that Butler's April 2011 murder man appeared to be planned.
On the morning of April 4, 2011, Combs Sr. expected Butler to have money since he had recently received a paycheck, Reed stated. The elder Combs and his son decided to rob Butler, according to the complaint, which also alleged that Combs Jr. told his father that he would kill Butler.
Prior to the shooting, Combs Sr. contacted Butler on the pretense that he had "clamps" that Butler needed, the complaint said.
The Combs men met Butler along W.Va. 10 on Herndon Mountain Road in Mercer County so that Butler could pick up the clamps. According to the complaint, Combs Sr. told police that he met with Butler and took the clamps from his own truck, placing them in Butler's vehicle.
As Combs Sr. engaged Butler in conversation, the complaint stated that Combs Jr. sneaked up on Butler from behind and shot him in the back of the head, instantly killing him.
Butler's supervisor contacted Butler's family, alerting them that Butler — a model employee — had not shown up for work, according to police.
Butler's sister then filed a missing persons complaint in Summers County. An intense search for Butler was conducted.
His body was discovered two or three weeks after the murder on Crumpler Road in Wyoming County, several miles from the Mercer-Wyoming line.
According to Cpl. R.A. Maddy, an investigator on the case, Combs Jr. first blamed his father for the shooting.
In a statement Combs Sr. made to police, he blamed his son.
The son later confessed that he had shot and killed Butler, said Maddy.
Both were charged with first-degree murder.

Apprentices benefit from Bishop's legacy
5:00pm Thursday 13th December 2012 in News By Mark Tallentire, Reporter (Durham)
FIVE apprentices are getting charitable support for their studies.
The group, all at New College Durham, in Durham City, have received grants towards tools and equipment they need for their training from the Lord Crewe charity.
The presentations took place today (December 13) in Durham Cathedral.
Those to benefit were: Chloe Hauxwell, 17, from Framwellgate Moor, a hairdressing apprentice with Howarth Hairdressing; Kyle Tindale, 17, from Langley Moor, a painting and decorating apprentice with Regent Decorators; Jake Williamson, 17, from Brandon, also a painting and decorating apprentice with Regent Decorators; Mark Hunter, 19, from Gilesgate, a motor vehicle apprentice with Lumsden and Carroll; and Daniel Bilton, 23, from Gilesgate Moor, a motor vehicle apprentice with A690 Specialist Cars.
On his death in 1721, Lord Crewe, the Bishop of Durham, left all his property to be administered in trust for charitable purposes.
Grants are available to students living and studying in Durham City on a manufacturing, technology or science course.

Pella — National Golf & Resort Properties Group of Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, the nation's largest real estate investment services firm, has been retained to exclusively market for sale the Bos Landen Golf Course & Banquet Hall, according to Steven Ekovich, Managing Director of the National Golf & Resort Properties Group. Terence Vanek, Associate and lead agent on the deal, is the listing broker for this championship golf & banquet facility located in Pella.
Priced at $1,395,000, Bos Landen is one of the most recognizable and well-reviewed golf courses in the entire state of Iowa. The Club was originally designed by well-known architect Dick Phelps as a spare no expense joint development effort between local Pella corporations Vermeer & Pella Windows, meant to create an unrivaled golfing destination that would attract top executive talent. Once completed in 1994, Bos Landen went on to rank as Iowa's #1 Public Golf Course from 1997 – 2001, and was also ranked in the Top-75 Most Affordable Golf Courses in the United States 1999 - 2000, all according to Golf Digest. Not just an outstanding golf design, the Club's Banquet and Wedding facilities feature both casual & elegant dining, outdoor deck seating with views of the 18th Green, three banquet areas and a large commercial kitchen.
As the unquestioned area leader in design and desirability, Bos Landen is ripe for potential investors to take advantage of forward momentum and implement modest capital and operational changes to leverage the Club's current success into significant returns. Lead agent Mr. Vanek believes that "After three consecutive years of double-digit growth in rounds played, there is immediate opportunity to restructure current price points and capitalize the club's growing popularity and brand power into greater revenue per round." Current ownership has already grown gross revenue by $288,544 or 36.31% in three years.
Mr. Vanek went on that "because of the property's powerful reputation and innate beauty, timing is ripe for potential investors to take advantage of this success, implement modest capital improvements to pricing strategy and clubhouse operations, and shepherd Bos Landen's continued path of growth into a new era of fame and prosperity. Current ownership obtained leasehold interest in late 2009, and since that time has achieved tremendous popularity and restored public opinion for Bos Landen back to the top circles of Iowa golf. As such, there is immediate opportunity for potential investors to partner with the city and preserve a treasured asset that will reward everyone for years to come."

I found a pair for $500 and its literally right down the road from me. Original owner, original box, and original SDA interconnect. The one pic is very small but the tweeters look to be silver. Is that the SL1000 or ???
What could I expect to spend upgrading x-overs and recapping? Any other must do mods?
I've owned Polk's since early 90s and have always wanted the full SDA SRS and will eventually find a pair but would these be a good first SDA experience? How are they with HT? I will be using primary for music so just curious.

Just inside the iron gates of on Rochester Road in Oakland Township, 245 American flags arranged meticulously in six rows flap in the breeze.
Each of the flags represents a Michigan serviceman or woman who died as a result of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and each flagpole bears that man or woman's name, photograph, hometown and a short biography.
"We've done the flags for the past couple years, and the idea to add the tags with the bios on it was a collective idea," said Guardian Angel Cemetery Director Wendy Mann. "We've been working on it for the past couple months. It's definitely a project."
Mann said the Field of Honor was erected Tuesday near the silo, but heavy rain flooded the area and forced grounds crews to move the entire display to higher ground. Crews were putting the finishing touches on the patriotic display Friday afternoon.
"It's really eye-opening when you see a photo of someone – when you see a photo of a boy, really, or a young girl – that's on the cards that could be your neighbor or anything like that, and it's just, to see all the cards up, it's quite overwhelming."
Mann said the goal of the Field of Honor is simply to pay tribute to Michigan's fallen military members.
"Look at what these people sacrificed," she said. "It's just amazing."

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Monday evening's meeting was a look ahead on several fronts as the Norman Board of Education addressed the interior design plan for the Administrative Services Center project, the 2013 meeting schedule, a resolution for voters to select a new board member and ongoing teacher training.
Mike Tower, of Locke Wright Pruitt & Brown, gave board members a first look at the new additions to the Administrative Services Center, scheduled to be completed in June.
Using computer-generated illustrations, Tower showed board members what their new meeting space will look like from an insider's perspective, touching on details such as color scheme, carpeting and placement of amenities like conference room coffee bars and audience accessibility in the board meeting room for award presentations.
"We're trying to make sure we can step up in certain aspects but maintain enough simplicity to get good bids," Tower said.
The board approved the presented interior design plan, accounting for $820,000, with the overall project weighing in at approximately $3.6 million. The Adminstrative Services Center project is the final facilities expansion/remodel in the 2009 Bond Issue.
Beth Spears, NPS director of staff development and student achievement, presented board members with an overview of numerous staff development programs recently completed or still ongoing in the district.
After hiring 170 new teachers to the Norman district at the beginning of the school year, Spears touched on the variety of inductions and annual re-certifications that NPS teachers are experiencing to improve instruction and preparedness.
"When I prepared this presentation, it was originally 300-plus pages long, documenting professional development, which has just taken place to date. Norman is known for growing its teachers and tailoring development to meet individual schools' needs," Spears said.
Board members also approved 2013 meeting dates following the bi-monthly model used thus far.
Members also will place before voters the task of filling board position 3 — soon to be vacated by Darry Stacy — in February.

The VMTurbo Host Resolver Automatically Detects, Troubleshoots and Isolates Problems, and Then Computes Their Best Resolution Actions, Before They Escalate to Impair Applications
VALHALLA, NY-- November 8, 2010 -- VMTurbo, a virtualization management technology leader, announced today the general availability of a new product, the VMTurbo Host Resolver.
VMTurbo Host Resolver provides system administrators a proactive solution to assure the health and performance of their virtual infrastructure. The Resolver incorporates the problem detection capabilities of the previously released, free VMTurbo Watchdog and extends it to (a) automatically troubleshoot and isolate problems; and (b) automatically compute and recommend the best resolution actions. Administrators can pursue the resolution actions manually, or have the Resolver safely perform them automatically.
The Resolver replaces manual, reactive, ad-hoc fixes of virtual infrastructure problems with automated, proactive resolution of major infrastructures problems. It helps administrators proactively eliminate problems such as memory and storage I/O bottlenecks, congested CPU ready queues and network, as well as mis-configured virtual machines.
The Host Resolver expands VMTurbo's Integrated Virtualization Management Suite of tools. This toolset helps system administrators monitor, analyze, and optimize their virtual IT environments, assuring the health and performance of virtualized applications.
"System administrators often discover problems after they have escalated to impair application performance. Troubleshooting and resolving these problems require analysis of volumes of obscure operational data, usually under extreme time pressure," said Dr. Shmuel Kliger, co-founder, president and CEO of VMTurbo. "The VMTurbo Host Resolver is the only product to offer proactive, automated problem resolution. Administrators can gain peace of mind that their virtual infrastructures are maintained in good health and that problems will be quickly eliminated, before they escalate to harm applications and end users."
VMTurbo Host Resolver includes the free VMTurbo Monitor, and is available immediately at: www.vmturbo.com/products/vmturbo-host-resolver.

Averting a Midlife Crisis, Inside and Out
Cosmetic Procedures: Sun Exposure and Skin Cancer
The sun's rays make us feel good, and in the short term, make us look good. But our love affair isn't a two-way street: Exposure to sun causes most of the wrinkles and age spots on our faces. Consider this: One woman at age 40 who has protected her skin from the sun actually has the skin of a 30-year-old!
We often associate a glowing complexion with good health, but skin color obtained from being in the sun – or in a tanning booth – actually accelerates the effects of aging and increases your risk for developing skin cancer.
Sun exposure causes most of the skin changes that we think of as a normal part of aging. Over time, the sun's ultraviolet (UV) light damages the fibers in the skin called elastin. When these fibers break down, the skin begins to sag, stretch, and lose its ability to go back into place after stretching. The skin also bruises and tears more easily -- taking longer to heal. So while sun damage to the skin may not be apparent when you're young, it will definitely show later in life.
How Does the Sun Change My Skin?
Exposure to the sun causes:
- Pre-cancerous (actinic keratosis) and cancerous (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma) skin lesions - caused by loss of the skin's immune function
- Benign tumors
- Fine and coarse wrinkles
- Freckles
- Discolored areas of the skin, called mottled pigmentation
- Sallowness -- a yellow discoloration of the skin
- Telangiectasias -- the dilation of small blood vessels under the skin
- Elastosis -- the destruction of the elastic and collagen tissue (causing lines and wrinkles)
What Causes Skin Cancer?
Skin cancer is the most prevalent form of all cancers in the U.S. and the number of cases continues to rise. It is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal skin cells. This rapid growth results in tumors, which are either benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
There are three main types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Basal cell and squamous cell cancers are less serious types and make up 95% of all skin cancers. Also referred to as non-melanoma skin cancers, they are highly curable when treated early. Melanoma, made up of abnormal skin pigment cells called melanocytes, is the most serious form of skin cancer and causes 75% of all skin cancer deaths. Left untreated, it can spread to other organs and is difficult to control.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is the number-one cause of skin cancer, but UV light from tanning beds is just as harmful. Exposure to sunlight during the winter months puts you at the same risk as exposure during the summertime.
Cumulative sun exposure causes mainly basal cell and squamous cell skin cancer, while episodes of severe sunburns, usually before age 18, can cause melanoma later in life. Other less common causes are repeated X-ray exposure and occupational exposure to certain chemicals.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Many leading tech stocks ended the day with gains Tuesday, but it was declines from the likes of Apple Inc., Facebook Inc. and social-gaming company Zynga Inc. that weighed on the sector.

Apple /quotes/zigman/68270/delayed/quotes/nls/aapl AAPL +0.55% shares gave up 2.5% to close at $467.90 after Chief Executive Tim Cook addressed a Goldman Sachs technology conference in San Francisco Tuesday.

Facebook /quotes/zigman/9962609/delayed/quotes/nls/fb FB -0.40% shares shed more than 3% to close at $27.37 after Bernstein Research analyst Carlos Kirjner cut his rating on the stock to market perform, or neutral, from outperform.

"We believe the proposed buyout does not reflect the value of Dell and we do not intend to support the offer as put forward," wrote Brian Rogers, T. Rowe Price's chairman, in a statement.

Junior Garrett Stutz dropped in 15 points as the Wichita State University men's basketball team swept the season series from Indiana State following a 70-54 conference win over the Sycamores Tuesday night.
The win pushes the Shockers record to 19-4 overall and 10-2 in the Missouri Valley. Indiana State falls to 12-11, 7-5 in Valley action.
The 15 points by Stutz came on 7-of-9 shooting from the field. J.T. Durley had 13 points and seven boards while Ben Smith came off the bench to add 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting from the field while also adding three rebounds and three assists.
Carl Richard led the Sycamores with 12 points.
Wichita State carried only a three-point advantage into the break (31-28) as the Sycamores matched the Shockers shot-for-shot. Indiana State shot 46 percent from the field (12-of-26), one shot better than WSU (11-for-26). The visiting Shockers were able to move ahead of the home team thanks to a 7-for-8 line from the charity stripe.
The Indiana State deficit grew in the second half as the Shockers made three more baskets than they had in the previous half (14-of-26) while the Sycamores were only 8-of-22, a 36 percent mark from the field.
Toure' Murry had seven points including five from the free-throw line and a team-high four assists for WSU.
Jake Kelly had 11 points off the bench for Indiana State.
WSU returns home this weekend as the Shockers host Illinois State on Saturday, Feb. 5. Tip-off is set for 7:05 p.m.

Research Roundup: Voting Restrictions, Millionaires Tax by State, AL's Immigration Law and More
PSN on October 7, 2011 - 12:05pm
In this week's Research Roundup: Reports from the Brennan Center on the 5 million voters who could be affected by this year's wave of new state voting restrictions, the Center for American Progress on what Alabamians are saying about their state's draconian and economically disastrous anti-immigrant law, the Keystone Research Center on the impact of each of proposed weakening of Pennsylvania's prevailing wage law, and Citizens for Tax Justice on the state-by-state effect of the "millionaires tax" surcharge currently being debated in Congress.
Voting Law Changes in 2012 — This new report from the Brennan Center examines in detail the wave of legislation imposing new restrictions on voting that has swept statehouses across the nation this year and the impact it will have on turnout in the 2012 elections. It concludes that more than five million Americans could be affected by the new state laws restricting voting that were put in place this year -- a number, the authors point out, that is larger than the margin of victory in two of the last three presidential elections.
Not-So Sweet Home Alabama — This Center for American Progress highlights the effects of Alabama's draconian and economically disastrous anti-immigrant law (H.B. 56), and what prominent and how different Alabamians are reacting to the decision by a federal judge to uphold major pats of it. It includes quotes from prominent Alabama educators, leaders of faith, civil rights, and business leaders explaining how the law will harm communities, endanger families, cause taxpayers to flee, and damage entire sectors of the state economy.
Benefits of State Prevailing Wage Laws — As the Pennsylvania House's Labor and Industry Committee votes on proposals to weaken the state's construction sector prevailing wage law, the Keystone Research Center released this policy brief examining the impact of each of the proposed laws. The report concludes that the existing prevailing wage laws "do not raise construction costs on public projects but do increase investment in skills, improve health and safety, and lower dependence of construction workers on safety net programs," and that repeal would result in less workforce training, a less educated and less experienced workforce, higher injury rates, lower wages and lower health and pension coverage.
State-by-State Figures on Proposed Millionaire Surcharge — Citizens for Tax Justice released this fact sheet detailing the state-by-state effect of the "millionaires tax" surcharge currently being debated in Congress as a potential method of paying for President Obama's American Jobs Act. It concludes that a mere one-fifth of one percent of American taxpayers would pay the surcharge (as it is currently being proposed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in the Senate). In a majority of states, only one-tenth of a percent of taxpayers would pay the surcharge if enacted in 2013, and in only in one state, Connecticut, would the share of taxpayers paying the surcharge exceed one percent.

To the editor:
There's no shortage of evidence that this governor of Massachusetts will go down in the Commonwealth's history as the Great Enabler.
His sway over legislators to practice the fine art of indifference enables those who wish to prosecute tyranny and anarchy against the citizens of Massachusetts.
Regarding of the swirling reports of a miscarriage of justice perpetrated by chemist Annie Dookhan of the state's crime lab facility, "it's a total failure of the chain of command. The governor has to know his appointees are doing their jobs, and the appointees need to watch their own people," says David Tuerck, executive director of the Beacon Hill Institute, a conservative think tank.
Mr. Tuerck understates the obvious. At the very least, you have incompetence and a lack of basic management controls, but at worse and what is far more likely is that a state government replete with politically favored appointed positions creates ripe conditions for malfeasance and corruption.
We witnessed the same degradations with the Probation department 18 months ago. As of this writing, the governor's official public response to this crisis has been virtual silence.
It is without precedent that this governor presides over an administration that has failed in every possible way in upholding their sworn duty to defend the enlightened principles of "commonwealth."
In effect, those inclined to prosecute tyranny and anarchy are enabled with this administration.
This dereliction of duty will continue to flourish until such time that, through intense scrutiny and a collective effort of citizens a zero tolerance of corruption and incompetence is corrected through the ballot box by replacing the current administration with those aligned with the public's interest.

RALEIGH — Stranded drivers from across the Triangle found reasons to smile Wednesday as friendly neighbors made a difficult day a little easier.
Good Samaritans provided the snow-weary drivers with rides, helped pull cars out of ditches and offered strangers warm places to rest.
When an ambulance transporting a heart attack patient got stuck at the intersection of Van Dyke Avenue and Gardner Street in Raleigh, neighbors were quick to rally to the rescue.
They helped carry the patient on a stretcher for a little more than 100 yards to a nearby ambulance, said Julie Dixon, who watched the action unfold as she and her husband, Cabot, assisted other drivers.
The Dixon family also opened their home to four strangers during the course of the afternoon as drivers slipped and slid down the roads. They chatted and ate popcorn while the drivers figured out their next moves.
"To me, it was just what anyone would do," Julie Dixon said.
Matthew Bergens and his girlfriend, Stormi Gantzer, were two who took refuge at the Dixon house after the Mustang that Bergens was driving called it quits.
"They were helping everyone in any way possible," Bergens said. "They were just really nice. All the neighbors were."
Ill-advised detour
That's a sentiment Johanna Johnson can get behind.
Johnson nearly spent the night in the home of strangers after she made an ill-advised detour through a hilly Durham neighborhood.
Johnson left her job at the Duke Center for Living around 1 p.m. Wednesday for what's normally a 20-minute commute home. But after hours of gridlock, she turned to her GPS for a detour through back streets.
Soon her minivan was sliding down a hill and into a ditch on Buckingham Road. With the car out of commission, Johnson knocked on the door of Eric Hirsch and Jordan Brophy-Hilton.
"When I approached him, my plan was to just buy some warm socks from him and try to walk somewhere," Johnson said. "I was just so desperate to get somewhere familiar. Eric talked me out of that."
Soon after, eight other cars got stuck on Buckingham, all of them following the same GPS detour. Hirsch and Brophy-Hilton welcomed all the drivers into their living room, offering up tea and snacks. Other neighbors saw the mess outside and banded together to push the cars up the hill. With multiple hands helping out, they freed all the cars – except Johnson's, which was too far off the road and tangled with utility lines.
"It was just a bunch of complete strangers helping anyone and everyone they possibly could," Johnson said.
With the others on their way, Hirsch and Brophy-Hilton invited Johnson to spend the night.
But eager to rejoin her husband and kids, Johnson managed to get a ride from her neighbor, Bobby Kohltfarber, who was out picking up stranded drivers with his four-wheel-drive truck.
Raleigh dentist Dirk Vice also took to the roads on his ATV to help other drivers, especially those stuck in ditches on the side of the road.
When Mike Stella encountered Vice at a friend's home, he was instantly cheered. Stella had spent time in gridlock on Creedmoor Road and knew plenty of drivers were still far from a place where they could spend the night.
"It just made me feel great," Stella said. "It struck me as just such a nice thing to do."
Hotels, stores stay open
Businesses also opened their doors when they could. Drivers set up camp in hotel lobbies while they waited for traffic to clear, and The Streets at Southpoint in Durham kept part of the mall open as a shelter for drivers.
At the Raleigh Convention Center, the five employees able to make it to work Wednesday had a tall order: dinner for 360 first responders and road crew members working throughout the city.
When bad weather hits, the center becomes city hall's kitchen. But the chef didn't have much advance notice, supplies weren't coming in, and he had half the usual kitchen staff.
"This had to be a pot-luck, whatever-he-could-find-in-the-cooler meal," said assistant director Doug Grissom.
On the menu: vegetable lasagna, hot dogs and pecan pie. It's the same sort of food that convention attendees get, Grissom said, prompting some of the weary road crew members to ask, "Are you sure this is for us, because this is awfully nice."
In Chapel Hill, about three dozen people found shelter and warm socks in Flyleaf Books after getting stuck in traffic.
Co-owner Jamie Fiocco said the store closed at 2 p.m., but the staff decided to wait after seeing cars backed up on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
They started letting in folks to use the restroom but found many also were wet and cold from the snow, Fiocco said. Fortunately, the store had a box of samples from the maker of Magic Socks, a line of socks, towels and other child-oriented products that expand when you add water.
One little girl, out walking with her mother, didn't have a coat either, she said. The one they retrieved from the lost-and-found box was a perfect fit.
Others welcomed the offer of dry towels and washcloths, umbrellas and bottles of water, Fiocco said.
"It felt really good to help. People were standing outside, and we were warm," she said. "It was fun, a real community experience. People were very gracious and grateful."

Jacksonville Daily Progress
Fall will officially begin in three weeks. Fall fishing is not always predictable because it's a transitional time for bass. It's like a mystery you have to solve. Solving a mystery takes time.
The weather plays a big part in where and how you fish. With unseasonably warm weather the bass can still be anywhere from shallow to deep.
Every lake, big and small, has its own unique features. If I were fishing Lake Fork in early fall I probably would target the mouth of a big creek. Bass will be following the shad, so I would begin looking for a creek that comes close to a timber line in the mouth of a major cove. It's a place to start.
Almost everyone knows that when the surface temperatures begin to drop more and more the shad tend to migrate up the creek. To find the bass I would simply begin at the mouth of a creek and work my way towards the back. I would keep my eyes on my electronics and scan the surface looking for signs of shad.
When you locate big schools of shad — be it midways or in the very back of the creek — you will find bass near by.
It you're fishing a much smaller lake you will probably have to do a lot of searching. It's always a process of elimination. You may have to fish points, ridges, humps, etc. And any cover you find, be it grass, lay-downs or rock piles.
Remember that bass are in transition, and you have to keep moving around a lot until you either locate the bait fish or develop a pattern. One day the bass may be deep, and the next day you may discover that bass are holding in about five feet around boat houses or other cover.
What always surprises me is how quickly the surface temperatures begins to drop after the first few fronts we experience inSeptember. Surface temperatures can dramatically drop in a few weeks from 96 degrees to 80 degrees. That's a significant drop. This sudden drop causes the bait fish to start migrating up the creeks.
Bass will sometimes surprise you. Last week I was fishing a small, dingy lake and found some bass in water less than one foot deep. Go figure!
A couple of years ago I was fishing in Lake Jacksonville about the third week in September and found lots of bass located at the end of the piers that were in 5 to 7 feet of water. When bass move shallow in the fall it's hard to beat a shallow, square bill, shad crank bait. I always have crank baits tied on in the fall.
On lakes that are silted in and don't have very defined creeks, I have good luck targeting main lake points and pockets. By October you should be able to locate bass with a shallow crank bait. At times I have launched my boat at the dam on Lake Palestine and start cranking my way up the lake until I locate a school of bass.
By October you should be able to locate plenty of bass in water 5 to 10 feet deep or shallower. I've always had good luck fishing a crank bait in about 5 feet of water.
Fall is like spring in reverse. In the spring a lot of bass will move up to the first drop off from the bank that's in 5 feet. The fall season is no different. I fish the first drop off a lot. It may take you all day to pattern the fish once fall begins, but once you determine the right depth and cover the bass are relating to, you will have solved the mystery of fall fishing.

Third of a series...
Two weeks ago today, one of the first man born in the city of Ashtabula to play in a Major League Baseball game celebrated his 137th birthday.
Then again, odds are, he wasn't around to blow out the candles at such an age, but no one is sure.
For while we know James Joseph Burns was born on June 2, 1876 in Ashtabula, there is no record of his death.
What we do know, however, is that the man known more so as "Farmer Burns," perhaps attributed to his birthplace, made one appearance in a major-league game.
That happened on July 6, 1901, a Saturday, when the right-hander was brought into a game by manager Patsy Donovan of the St. Louis Cardinals to pitch the ninth inning against the Philadelphia Phillies at Robison Field in St. Louis.
The inning did not go well for Burns, a stocky 5-foot-7, 168 pound southpaw. He allowed two hits, walked one and surrendered an earned run.
That turned out to be the only major-league appearance for Burns, coming at age 25.
The Ashtabula native didn't head to the majors after leaving his home. Instead, he headed to Washington and Jefferson College in Washington, Pa. However, he did graduate, spending only one year at the college, in fact — 1898 — though he was the first player from Washington and Jefferson to appear in a major-league game.
Two years after leaving Washington and Jefferson, Burns began his professional baseball career.
He spent the 1900 season with for Grand Rapids, Mich. of the International League and the Toledo Mud Hens of the Interstate League.
At Grand Rapids, Burns appeared in five games, four of which were starts and he completed all four of those games. He posted a 2-3 record, working 49 innings and allowing 35 hits and 29 runs (there was no differential between earned and unearned runs kept by league statisticians). He walked 25 and struck out 21, hitting three batters and throwing five wild pitches.
Burns was not a terrible hitter at Grand Rapids. In 22 at-bats, he had five hits, all singles, for a .227 batting average. He scored a pair of runs.
He then made the move to Toledo, where he appeared in two games, both starts, losing both, going the distance in one. He finished 0-2, working 13 innings and allowing only two hits and one run, striking out three and walking seven.
Burns finished his only season in the minors at 2-5, with 49.0 innings pitched, 35 hits allowed, 29 runs, 21 strikeouts and 25 walks.
Like many aspects about Burns, it is not known where he was pitching in the summer of 1901 before he got the call to come out of the bullpen against Philadelphia on July 6.
What is known, though, is he actually went to the plate in the bottom of the ninth of his one appearance in a major-league game.
And the guy who was also nicknamed "Slab" made the most of his at-bat. He drew a walk, stole a base and scored the Cardinals' final run in a 14-9 loss to the visiting Phillies.
St. Louis finished 76-64 in 1901, fourth in the National League, and Burns never made another major-league appearance and, unfortunately, faded into the baseball Twilight Zone, never to be heard from again.
Wherever he rests today, happy belated 137th birthday to James Joseph "Farmer" Burns, the first man from Ashtabula to play in a major-league game.

One thing though. Your mention of sleeping in a separate bedroom made me curious. Obviously some couples do sleep in separate bedrooms for one reason or another, not necessarily because the couple in question are estranged. But I've never had the foggiest idea how many couples do that. It's one of those things where "none of us know how the other half lives"! So out of curiosity I looked it up on the Web, and I found this page, which told me that according to the National Sleep Foundation, 23 percent of couples sleep apart. The reasons can include loud snoring and other sleep disorders, incompatible sleep schedules, or disparate preferences for the sleeping environment.
So if sleeping in the guest bedroom does make this miserable marriage more tolerable for you, it's just as Dawn said: there's no need to worry about what others might think, when nearly one couple in four is doing the same!
Posted 11 April 2012 - 04:05 AM
@Hedoesn't care That is a very poignant song. I have never heard of that singer. She is lovely and a great voice.
@Dawn and Kilroy. I am afraid in a way. i don't know why. I think it's because i would be doing something that could be thrown in my face at a later date. Sometimes it is just so wearying trying to second guess.
Posted 11 April 2012 - 06:40 AM
I guess my point is, he may well something say to you or maybe he won't. If he doesn't say anything he may secretly be angry and maybe that's what you're afraid of? All I can say, is do what makes you feel comfortable. Take care of yourself. You could say something to him but I don't know where you are in the relationship. Are you staying in? You know a conversation about his withdrawal is likely to go nowhere. But if you move to the other room it may start the conversation anyway...I sometimes would do things like that just to get his attention so then I could explode at what an a*s he was being. The result? Nothing new. It was always my fault
So I kept sleeping in the other room, ignored his comments, and was always thankful I had another space to go to for "rest".

Posted 12 April 2012 - 12:18 PM
I say sleep where you want to, you know he would. (((hugs)))
Posted 12 April 2012 - 02:00 PM
The only thing...
If you'd be more comfortable sleeping in the spare bedroom, don't worry about what others might think about his nasty remarks. You can say " don't mind him, I'm just a very light sleeper these days".
Dawn, I don't think she should lie to anyone. By saying that, she covering for him and his unreasonable behavior. Even just saying she is more comfortable in the spare room is honest and doesn't cover for him.
