Bowling Green Police say a man they were looking for has turned himself in.
Warrants were issued for 40-year-old Lonnie Wells III. Police say on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m., Wells went to Woodland Mall's Quarters Bar on North Main Street in Bowling Green and assaulted a man his ex-girlfriend was with, along with her friend. They say Wells threw his ex-girlfriend into a wall and started kicking and punching the man with her. Then he fled the scene before police could arrive.
Although the bar was crowded, officials are concerned why that failed to stop Wells' actions.
"We think that shows the mentality of the perpetrators. They will stop at nothing to cause this other person physical harm. We consider him pretty dangerous," said Major Tony Hetrick with the Bowling Green Police Department.
Hetrick says the day after the attack, Wells called his former girlfriend, with whom he has a child, and said he would kill her and her friend.
Felony domestic violence and attempted felonious assault warrants were issued by the BGPD. The Wood County Sheriff's Office also issued a warrant for intimidation of a crime victim.
"He's got a violent history, a violent past. He's assaulted this victim before, and he did do some time for that. So that elevates the offense to a felony level," explained Hetrick.
Bowling Green Police reported Wells turned himself in Friday evening without incident.

Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is a blockage at the base of the bladder that reduces or prevents the flow of urine into the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body.
BOO; Lower urinary tract obstruction; Prostatism
Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) can have many different causes, including:
Less common causes include:
This condition is most common in aging men. It is often caused by BPH. Bladder stones and bladder cancer are also more commonly seen in men than women. As a man ages, his chance of developing these diseases increases dramatically.
The symptoms of bladder outlet obstruction may vary, but can include:
If bladder outlet obstruction is suspected, your health care provider will take a thorough history of your problems. During a physical exam, your provider may find one or more of the following possible causes:
Tests may include:
Treatment of bladder outlet obstruction depends on the cause of the problem. For most cases, a tube called a catheter, inserted through the urethra into the bladder, will relieve the blockage.
Sometimes a suprapubic catheter (a tube placed through the belly area into the bladder) is needed to drain the bladder.
Long-term treatment of bladder outlet obstruction usually involves surgery. However, medical treatment options are available for many of the diseases that cause this problem. Discuss treatment options with your health care provider.
If diagnosed early, most causes of bladder outlet obstruction can be successfully treated. However, if the diagnosis is delayed, permanent damage to the bladder or kidneys can result.
If you have symptoms of bladder outlet obstruction, call your provider. Early diagnosis is important and can often lead to a simple and effective cure.

Chrissy, I have no words of wisdom, but I hope everything starts turning around for you soon with the girls. (Hugs)
Today, we took our class to a field trip to a historical museum. It's one where they dress up in period dress and the kids do, too, and you spend the day doing things people of the certain time period would. We have been discussing Henry VIII and the Tudor time, so we were all dressed as people would have been in the 1580's in England. (Very uncomfortable btw!) Some of the things we did was learn how to make candles from fat, how to write with a feather pen, how to make a nose gay (those smelly things people carried around to sniff to forget about the stinch on the streets), and how to march as if we were in the army. I thought I'd have to tell you guys about it because the tour guide told us loads of stuff that people did back then because of religion. For instance, they slept with their backs propped up because they thought if you laid flat out in bed that the devil would think that you were dead and could steal your soul. Also, they swaddled babies very tightly because they thought that a baby who slept with their arms out in a crucifix-like position was a sign of the devil (resulting in 1 in 3 babies dying in their first few months of life from being swaddled so tightly). They didn't allow left-handed writing, so the people who learned to write had to use their right hand no matter what because using the left hand was a sin of the devil. Also, they had to go to church every Sunday no matter what or they were fined a massive amount of money. The tour guide talked about how the people of that time lived their lives in fear of God. It made me feel so very lucky to be alive in the modern world and not back then. But it made me kind of think that there are still people out there that have that same sort of fear of God that they let rule their lives. I feel lucky to live here in England where it is very, very secular. The other day in class, the teacher asked if anyone went to church or was religious in our class and not one of the 32 students raised their hand. If that was back in America where I'm from, I'm sure nearly every single one of those kids would have raised their hand.
Some other interesting facts I learned today. You had a 50% chance of dying before you were 10 in that time period. The phrase "that cost me an arm and a leg" comes from the Tudor time when the rich people could afford to have paintings of their whole body done whereas anyone else would just have their face or chest up done. The phrase "sleep tight" comes from that time as well because people slept on mattresses that were supported with ropes, so they liked the ropes tight to get a good night's sleep.
There were other things that I learned from today, but those are the ones I can remember right now. But I had to share the religious stuff with you guys because I thought it was so interesting.
Sorry to hear that Bobbie left abruptly. I think she's a typical teenager not realizing how much her parents went through and sacrificed for her. Unfortunately it's the kind of thing some people don't usually realize until they have one of their own. They just kind of take it for granted because that's what parents are supposed to do.
My leaving home didn't go so well either but it was mostly because I didn't want a mushy goodbye, so I turned it into a fight. I was leaving to go live with DH and I still clearly remember packing up and having a fight with my mom.
Does she still enjoy working at the pet store?
Do you know where she went? I can't remember if it was she or Jesi who wanted to go live in the woods with her friends.
I'm sorry she chose to leave like that. It's very disrespectful. And I didn't say earlier, but I am so sad and distressed for you that you have friends who would turn you away when you want to talk. I'm glad you at least have us here so you won't feel quite so isolated.

Ash - That sounds like an awesome field trip!
D-Mama (37) D-Dada (43) and D-Baby (11/02/2011)
Ash- did you really have to put on the big heavy long dresses? Sometimes in the summer here I think about how terrible it must have been to live back in the 1800's with no conveniences, no a/c or washing machines and having to do all your chores wearing a long sleeved dress that went all the way down to your ankles. There must have been truly very little physical comfort back then.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
That does sound great Ash!!
It is good they take the kids to such educational places. I am not a big fan of field trips, but when they are meaningful they are a great learning opportunity.
My favorite was going to see the cadavers for my high school anatomy class. I thought it was the best. I was really into science back then and anatomy was my favorite class.
Ky recently had a similar field trip, they didn't get to dress up unfortunately though as he would have LOVED that lol! They went to the Atlanta History Center and got to pretend to be soldiers during the Civil War. They just did a section on the civil war, here in GA they are really into the civil war to the point where it gets kind of nerve wrecking to me, but I understand I guess since this state was so torn up and affected by it. Ky enjoyed the trip more than any other since he studied geology in 3rd grade and got to go to a quarry and dig for rocks lol. He usually is never interested in history so it was surprising to me, his enthusiasm about this trip and tomorrow at his parent/teacher conference I'm going to let his teachers know what a great job they did on the Civil War section this year. He was really into it. He probably really would have been into that trip Ash. So sad about the mortality rates of the general population and children in general. Like I said before, most of the things I read about English history were the Industrial Age and the Victorian period. I do remember reading of the horrible statistics for child mortality then, so I can imagine it was worse in prior centuries. And the whole religious things is just crazy, especially the sleeping on flat backs lol.
I'm only responding to one or two sentences at a time on here. I've been using up all of my phone minutes and talking on the phone with bluetooth to realtor/dad/dh while trying to do chores . Still trying to negotiate on the house. I think today might be the do-or-die day.
I built a rope bed by myself, once, when I was in a historical re-creation society that focused on the middle ages. It was comfortable, but the ropes did have to be tightened a lot and it did tend to sag in the middle. And it had this unfortunate tendency to creak really loudly at times.
Mylah, I remember some really fantastic bioluminescent tides in Mexico when I was little. We would run around in the water by the moonlight and laugh delightedly as our footsteps would kick up dazzling light shows just for us. It was fantastic. Every once in a while someone would come by who owned a boat, and we would go out on the water and watch the wake light up the whole bay behind us, and we could see little fish shapes glow under the water and trail our fingers in and make sparkling splashes. It happened several times during my childhood, sometimes more awesome and intense than others, and whether or not Bodhi was excited this time, I have to say just you sharing this experience brought back swarms of really incredible memories for me. If it happens again, maybe when Bodhi's a little older, he'll be more interested. Sometimes it's hard to let go of something you really want your kid to enjoy or get into and let them do their own thing.
Chrissy, I'm sorry it went down that way with Bobbie. I think you should let her go and stumble on her own for awhile. Tell her you love her, tell her you won't stand for her taking advantage of you any longer or treating you like you're the inconvenience she seems to make you out to be, and leave the door open for her to come back and live with you IF she's willing to improve her attitude and live by your rules.
Ash, that field trip sounds fun to me. You learned such interesting tidbits. How cool! I'm curious like katy to know if you wore the heavy long dresses too. I was reading James Michener's "Hawaii" awhile back and one of the things that struck me was how the missionary wives who settled on the islands still walked around in heavy wool dresses. It must have been torture for the women. And it probably made them more resentful to see the "heathens" running around half naked.
ETA: We posted at the same time, so I see you did wear the dresses. Glad it was weather appropriate - he he.

Ash, your field trip sounds like so much fun! I love history and would have enjoyed that immensely!
Sorry to go off topic, but boy am I sorry I took my dogs with me to the beach for lunch today. There is no such thing as having a relaxing time when they're both with me. They're so aggressive to other dogs when they're on leash. They've been this way so long, I don't know if I can change them
at this point. Take them off leash and they're fine; they just want to play. Lulu is fine when she's on her own. She just learned leash aggression from Cayo. It's funny because sometimes she doesn't know what the heck she's barking at. She just joins in. Anyway, my "relaxing" lunch was me telling them to leave it and lie down every 30 seconds. That was not relaxing at all.
I have a little work vent I have to get off my chest. One of my projects is to get rid of all the XP machines we have left. We're down to 22 now as I've done roughly 1/2 already. There was supposed to be a 'soft' deadline of the end of the year. If something else came up and it took till Jan or Feb, no big deal. This is according to the boss lady.
One of the directors was hounding about her people that have 'dying' machines (her words) and I saw in the help desk ticket that my boss assured her that they'd all be done by Thanksgiving.
Excuse me...my 'limit' is supposed to be 5 machines a week. We always have the surprise hardware failure, sudden virus, or a new hire that comes along and they all take priority. It's averaged out to where I can only do 2-3 XP machines a week because of the others.
The only way I can complete the XP machine project by Thanksgiving is if we have ZERO emergencies and I can do 5 XP machines a week. At 5, I'm busy but at a manageable pace. Barring unforeseen emergencies I can handle this easy. I've done more in 1 week (averaged 8 for a while, and even did 12 a couple times), but then I'm super-duper busy and actually a bit overwhelmed. At 12 I was more than overwhelmed, actually.
But I digress. I'm upset that she over-promises. It's only going to make me look bad when I can't deliver. And to make matters worse, one of my coworkers said she did that to him and THEN actually put it in his evaluation that he missed the deadline. My evaluation this year will occur before that deadline, but I swear if any crazy stuff like that does appear I'm going to have all I can do to keep myself respectful. I'll go off like a rocket.
When is anything ever off topic in here, Myles?!
L - Another fantastic photo of the twins. They are ridiculously photogenic and you really seem to have a knack for capturing beautiful moments...I guess it all just comes together!

Yes love the pumpkin patch pic of R & C!
Ash that sounds like such a fun trip. I love that kind of thing so much. I look forward to when G is old enough to take along on trips like that. We went to Hampton Court with a 3 year old G and it was not fun at all. Dh and I like to watch Showtime The Tudors.

Chrissy, can you talk to your boss today that you're not sure you can hit that deadline? At least if you voice your concerns (verbally or written down, but preferably written down), you can say you sent up flares very early on that you don't think it can get done in the allotted time. You can sound all positive-y while you write it out for her, like: "I'm excited to be working on the XP project. I did notice, though, that in order for me to complete it by Thanksgiving, as you committed, it would require my dedicated attention. I'm concerned about the timelines given that I'm sure I'll be working trouble tickets at the same time. If forced to choose between these two work streams, which of them would you like to prioritize?" Something like that. She's your manager. It's her responsibility to manage her resource's time. Also, keep a record of the actual hours you have to put into anything other than the XP project. You may be put in a position where you'll be asked to explain why it wasn't completed on time.
I don't know if getting the dogs out to the beach more would calm them down. They'd already been for their walk today and were supposedly calm and had gotten their energy out, but they still were pure chaos at the beach. I was sitting on a towel holding their leashes and they were lunging at dogs 50 ft away, kicking sand in my eyes, walking across my lap, tangling up with each other. They just have very bad habits on leash, and I'm sure we're to blame.
I'm going to break from habit right now and put out there something that I wish for. (Normally I get all weird about sharing and jinxing things, but that's silly and this is more of a pipe dream than reality anyway...) One of the teams I work with at my current job is kind of dropping hints that they might want to fold me into their group. They're asking me questions about the kind of work I'm looking for, questions about my skillset, saying that it'd be a loss if they couldn't keep me in-house, and one of them - not a boss but influential nonetheless - came out and said he'd recommend me for an outright hire. Obviously, I can't bank on dropped hints and shaky promises; I know better than to count any birdies before they hatch, but that would be a very good outcome if it worked out that way. So I'm going to put my intentions out there into the universe. It could be awkward if my current team feels like I'm being "poached", but I'll cross that bridge if it ever shows up in the distance.

Oh Myles, I do hope it works out!
As for talking to the bosslady, I definitely will email her about it. But I have no hope it'll do any good. She's fond of saying, "You can push back any time you feel like you're overwhelmed" but the very next day she'll promise a bigwig something impossible. Like the training room. I was imaging 8-12 machines a week and she kinda tossed it at me that I'd need to do the 17 training room computers within the next two weeks. Faye actually had to help me with the physical setup. It was impossible for one person to do all that....and yet she'll still say that about letting her know if it's too much. She doesn't listen though. She 'forgets' and signs us up for another crazy-to-meet deadline.
They honestly should have hired 4 of us instead of 2. I've already been pulled off the tickets for the most part. I was just browsing through today and happened to see the one asking about new computers, so I looked into it because that's 'my' baby.
I'm no help, my dogs don't have great leash manners either. cosmo is a bit better now but that is mostly be cause she's 9 yrs old and fat. Usually they aren't aggressive but they do pull sometimes, mostly Molly now. And they like to bark at stuff, especially Molly. Other dogs, people, cars, kids on bikes. Cosmo just likes to hear her own voice and Molly is young and hasn't had that much exposure to stuff. So really mostly my fault. With other dogs, most of the time it's them wanting to go say hi....only a few dogs we have come across that rub them the wrong way.
Fingers crossed that something works out!
Chrissy, I like Myles wording for the email. I would totally send it and keep it plus the reply just in case it's ever brought up at review time.
I think if you sent that email to your boss it might help you feel a little more in control of your time. You can only do what you have time to do each day, and if you and she both have it written down what you feel you are able to do by Thanksgiving then you won't feel like you have to do both projects. I don't know if that makes sense, but I always feel better when the scope of my responsibilities and deadlines are clear.
M - I will keep my fingers crossed for your little bird. They wouldn't be asking after you if they weren't seriously interested. And sorry about the non-relaxing beach/dog trip.

Going to her boss would be futile as well. He lets his managers do wtf ever they want. One (not over me) nearly lost the university a contract with a VERY big cell phone company (one of the top 3 we are all familiar with) because she was so b1tchy to the rep for them. The rep threw up her hands and stomped out. She almost pulled the contract altogether before it was signed....and he didn't discipline her at all. He's like, "Sara's Sara." (not her real name) So that clearly indicates to me that he isn't going to give a crap about rapidly shrinking deadlines while being buried under more and more 'one more thing' items that come up daily.
I only just learned about this today, from my reliable source. We were commiserating about my workload/deadline and that story came up.

Not a lot of time today. DH left for work at 4:00 AM without telling me, I overslept (he wakes us up and takes care of her breakfast while I shower) and had to send DD off to school without breakfast, and have been trying to catch up ever since.
Myles, get this book: http://www.amazon.com/Feisty-Fido-He.../dp/1891767070. It is very good, a short/quick read, and should help with the on leash issues. Because my dogs seriously outweigh and outmuscle me, I cannot afford to have them out of control on leash, so they both have good leash manners. In the past, I used to walk about 4 dogs, on leash, by myself (dog weight was about 250 lbs, mine was about 106), and there was no way to do that with unruly dogs. Until you do train them, consider using a management tool to help you maintain control.
Yeah I can imagine it would be a lot different with big dogs. Mine are like 31/32 and Molly is probably about 24ish now. Sometimes we take them alone and sometimes use the doubler....which usually they just pull against each other. A few times though they went in the same direction trying to say hi to a pug down the block and I was like, wow, 55 lbs pulling is a LOT different than 25 or 30. LOL
Our problem isn't walking them enough. It's often too hot, too cold, too buggy (I cannot stand bugs, especially swarms of gnats in my face. now by the time i get home, get dinner made and eaten, it's getting dark out already. I'm too scared to even take them in the backyard when it's dark out as I know we have coyotes and it's not totally rarely to get bears around here. At night it's just in the front as there is a lot more light. It's too easy for stuff to hide in the corn field. I swear too that one time we saw a wolf along the tree line just past the farm field. I'm in a weird place....new subdivision that is technically city but on the very edge and we have farm fields around us and a smaller forest preserve area with a creek. I'm the very last house on the dead end road so we don't even see many cars on the street....which is why Molly feels the need to bark at them all (though we can see the interstate from the house, it's just far enough that it doesn't seem to attract her attention). When Cosmo was a baby we lived in an apartment on a busy street so she saw a lot more traffic.
Instead we mostly just have them out in the yard....sometimes front yard and sometimes we are out back. Like tonight we had them out before dinner playing football....that is Cosmo's favorite. Molly doesn't quite have it down, she thinks it is chase the Cosmo and doesn't know what to make of the football.
Hope you had a good sleep when you overslept anyway.
A Gentle Leader is fine, if it is properly fitted, and your dogs don't act like a$$holes on them. If it is not giving you suffiient control, try something else. There are good no-pull harnesses out there, and a properly fitted prong is an extremely effective tool (Use small prongs, and fit like this: http://leerburg.com/fit-prong.htm).
We are off for Kais' ultrasound and blood test results. Hope we get some answers today!
I have never tried a gentle leader. I use a harness for my girls. I couldn't stand the choking when just attaching the leash to the collar and feel like the harness gives better control. Plus I tend to keep their collars a bit loose. Not sure if I have seen a no-pull one.
I don't think that I could do a prong one and never a choker. I feel badly enough putting Molly's outdoor collar on her that goes with the electronic fence as that has two prongs that stick out and just don't look comfortable.

In the late 1980s and '90s, Brewster native Lester McCullough held a 48 hour softball tournament designed to raise money for Brewster High School athletics.
Sadly, the event stopped when mccullough got sick and eventually passed away, but the event returned this past week to serve as a community fundraiser to help promote the town and its activities.
The money raised also is used for those kids in the community in need, such as providing basketball shoes for those without them.
Sanky's Gang took home the title in the eight-team tournament this year, but organizers expect far greater participation in next year's tournament.

(Reuters) - Flowers Foods Inc
The Thomasville, Georgia-based company said it agreed to pay $360 million for the Wonder, Butternut, Home Pride, Merita and Nature's Pride brands, as well as 20 bakeries and 38 depots.
It also entered a second contract where it agreed to pay $30 million for the Beefsteak brand.
Flowers already owns brands such as Cobblestone Mill, Nature's Own and Tastykake. It said it expects the purchases to add to earnings in 2013, and that it would finance them with cash on hand plus debt.
Gregory Rayburn, Hostess' chief executive, said the Irving, Texas-based company remains in talks to sell its snack cake business, including Twinkies and Drake's cakes, as well as its remaining bread brands.
The Flowers purchase is subject to higher bids at a court-supervised auction, and requires approval by regulators as well as U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain in White Plains, New York.
Hostess will ask that the auction take place on February 28, with a hearing to authorize a sale on March 5.
In winning the right to serve as the initial bidder in the auction, Flowers beat out Grupo Bimbo SAB de CV
Hostess said it chose the Flowers bids after its bankers at Perella Weinberg Partners ran a bidding process that drew 169 prospective buyers, including 87 that signed confidentiality agreements.
Grupo Bimbo representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Hostess in November decided to shut down its baking business and liquidate after a strike by its baker's union crippled the 82-year-old company.
One of Hostess' bankers, Joshua Scherer, told Drain at a November court hearing that the company's brands had drawn "furious" buyer interest, including from national retailers.

The importance of the First Amendment and the concept of "intellectual freedom" might not always be readily apparent to most kids, but Banned Books Week is a great opportunity to make those lessons come alive for children—and adults.
Banned Books Week is held annually during the last week of Sept. (Sept. 30-Oct. 6, 2012). The week is an occasion for libraries and bookstores across the U.S. to help folks realize just how real and ongoing a problem censorship is.
More than 11,000 books have been challenged (though not necessarily successfully censored) since 1982, the inaugural year of Banned Books Week. According to the American Library Association (ALA), the vast majority of challenges to books are initiated locally by parents, likely in well-meaning attempts to protect their children.
Last year, there were 326 challenges reported to the ALA's Office of Intellectual Freedom, based on everything from offensive language, to violence, insensitivity, religious viewpoint and sexual explicitness. In addition to those challenges, the ALA estimates that as many as 60 to 70 percent of challenges may go unreported.
Over the past year, the 10 most challenged titles were:
1. ttyl; ttfn; l8r, g8r (series) by Lauren Myracle
2. The Color of Earth (series) by Kim Dong Hwa
3. The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins
4. My Mom's Having A Baby! A Kid's Month-by-Month Guide to Pregnancy by Dori Hillestad Butler
5. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie
6. Alice (series) by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
7. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
8. What My Mother Doesn't Know by Sonya Sones
9. Gossip Girl (series) by Cecily Von Ziegesar
10. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Among banned and challenged classics you're likely familiar with are:
- The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
- The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
- The Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
- The Color Purple by Alice Walker
- Ulysses by James Joyce
- The Lord of the Flies by William Golding
- Animal Farm and 1984 by George Orwell
- The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway
- Beloved and Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison
- In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
If you're interested in celebrating Banned Books Week as part of a lesson for your kids—or simply to feel like a rebellious reader—check out these additional resources:
- Mapping Censorship, a visual representation of places books have been challenged in the US, created from cases documented by the ALA and the Kids' Right to Read Project
- Virtual Read-Out, a worldwide celebration of the freedom to read, featured on a dedicated Banned Books Week YouTube channel

Baseboards or skirting boards may only be a bit strip of wood nailed to the bottom of walls, but they can certainly enhance the visual appeal of any room. While the material that they are made of plays a vital role in determining how they can add to the design of a room, the type of paint that you finish it with will ultimately decide how it will look and keep in the years to come.
There are a number of options to choose from when deciding on what kind of paint finish to apply to a skirting board.
1. Satin Paint
This type of paint is perfect for that room that requires a bit of shine without necessarily going overboard, and is ideal for walls that you would prefer to be easy to wipe down. It's only just a bit glossier than eggshell paint, though it still leans more towards flat than glossy.
2. Semi-Gloss Paint
Semi-gloss is THE paint to use on walls and skirting boards that are more exposed to grease and water than your average room as it provides easy wipe-ability and unparalleled protection that makes it more durable than flat or eggshell paint. The downside is that it may just be too shiny of a finish for your liking.
3. Gloss or High-Gloss Paint
This paint provides ultimate shine, and is the easiest to wipe down among all paint finishes. However, it does tend to highlight flaws and is not quite simple to touch up as it usually leaves an obvious "ring" on the area that was patched.
4. Flat Paint
This type of paint dries to a matte and minimally-reflective finish. It has the advantage of being readily absorbed. However, it's this same trait of quick absorption that may also pose problems as it tends to grip stains and dirt particles, making it harder to clean. Nevertheless, it is the best paint to use when the aim is to minimize the texture of rough surfaces, and is the easiest to touch up without showing any signs of patch jobs.
5. Eggshell Paint
Eggshell paint, when compared to flat paint, is just slightly less matte with a hint of sheen that acts as a sort of buffer protection. It has the advantage of being a wipe-able version of flat paint, but still with the same matte-like finish, although it may not be as easy to patch up.
While the type of material that it's made out of is important in determining its longevity, the skirting board finish does need to be of high quality and durability in order to withstand the scrapes and bumps that it is bound to obtain. This will ensure that the baseboard will look its part and last for years to come.

(RNN) - After one of the deadliest storm seasons on record, hundreds are dead and dozens of communities are learning what it takes to start over and rebuild from scratch.
One tiny town in Kansas is helping cities such as Tuscaloosa, AL, and Joplin, MO, and even smaller blips on the map such as Smithville, MS, do just that.
In 2007, the town of Greensburg, KS, with a population of around 1,500 at the time, was struck by a massive EF5 tornado which virtually wiped the community off the map.
The storm destroyed everything in its path and left 11 dead.
In the aftermath, the town was faced with mounds of debris and the residents with the specter of no jobs and no homes to return to.
For city officials, their goal suddenly became trying to save the town from dying - not from a loss of buildings, but from a loss of people with nothing left to hold on to.
Mayor Bob Dixson said that as a small community, they were losing people even before the storm, so rebuilding in a way that would grow the community was a top priority.
"If you keep putting in what you always put in, you'll keep getting out what you've always got out" Dixson said.
That thinking became a focal point for the town as those determined to stay made decisions about how they wanted to begin again.
Steve Hewitt, who is now the city manager of Clinton, OK, but at the time was the city manager of Greensburg, was a key factor in its recovery process as he and other officials worked on a recovery plan.
"Everything you didn't like about your community you can change, we can make the community better, smarter, just build it in a new way so the future's bright," he said.
The decision was to go green - to rebuild Greensburg to be energy efficient, sustainable and in a way that would allow the community to live with the resources the land had given them.
Hewitt said the idea for going green came from the community, and it just so happened that the town's name was Greensburg.
"Sometimes the stars align, and it's a magical moment," he said.
The town rebranded itself as a truly "green" community, and within four years of the tornado, on May 4, 2007, Dixson said the community has rebuilt all major municipal buildings, a hospital and a K-12 school, to LEED-certified standards.
The U.S. Green Building Council, USGBC, certifies energy efficient buildings to LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, standards.
Dixson said many green building technologies were first tried out on Greensburg.
"We're a living laboratory," he said.
But green building wasn't the only thing that Greensburg changed about itself. It also consolidated municipal buildings to keep costs down and make operations more streamlined and convenient.
One such example was putting the hospital, family practice clinic, fire department and EMS all on one campus - and that idea proved to be popular.
The idea of building and service consolidation - along with seizing the opportunity of a clean slate - is one of the big things that officials from recently devastated communities have taken away from the small Kansas town.
Greensburg has hosted recovery summits for many communities, both large and small, ranging from Tuscaloosa to the tiny town of Smithville to help them through their rebuilding process and help them decide how to move forward.
The meetings emphasize how destruction could be an opportunity and not just a loss.
"The biggest thing that we brought back, or at least I did, is seizing an opportunity," said John McConnell, Tuscaloosa's Director of Planning and Development Services.
"They thought in terms of integrated systems: in other words, they lost everything," McConnell said.
Tuscaloosa was hit by an EF4 tornado on April 27, 2011 that left 43 dead and flattened a large chunk in the city of more than 80,000.
[SLIDESHOW: Southeast slammed by record tornados]
Although Tuscaloosa is more than 100 times the size of Greensburg, it faces many of the same challenges.
But another leveled community, Smithville, has even more in common with the completely destroyed Greensburg.
Also on April 27, the small town of Smithville, with an estimated population of just under 900, was struck by an EF5 tornado - the strongest on the Enhanced Fujita scale and the same strength that hit Greensburg.
The town lost 16 people that day.
[SLIDESHOW: Smithville damage]
Assistant to the Mayor Michelle Bond said 98 percent of the town's commercial buildings are gone.
"We have no income," she said, referring to the loss from the twister. The town is largely a retirement community that does not pay income taxes.
Bond was one of the members of a delegation from Smithville who visited Greensburg. The idea of seizing an opportunity seems to be something the town has taken to heart.
The city is now working on getting a planned five-lane highway to pass through the center of what will be the rebuilt town. Bond also walked away with the idea of a "business incubator" that would provide low-rent storefronts for local businesses, which after a set number of years would theoretically build up enough clientele to move out into the community.
But the town has an uphill battle getting back on its feet as a small community off of the beaten path in Mississippi.
They are fighting to get their post office rebuilt, and Bond feared it may not come back.
"We have businesses that are coming back and some that aren't, we have families who are coming back and some who aren't," she said.
However, she also said that no matter what, the town would never be the same.
"It's hard to accept the fact that it's not going to be the same, it's going to be different," but Bond also said it was important to think about the future of the community.
Hewitt stressed that it was important to get the community involved in whatever planning process was under way.
"The most important thing is you have a plan, you've got to take the time to make that plan and involve the community," he said.
"Recovery is very difficult, it is time consuming, and it is long."
He said that people may be hesitant until they begin to see results, but warned that many things are long-term instead of short-term fixes. But the community needs to be there for every step of the way.
"The community's got to buy into it and support it or it's not going to be successful," he said. "You have to create that process, you have to create a process of involving people.
Dixson said that the Greensburg community turned out en mass when it came to being involved.
"We would have community meetings where we would have 400 to 500 people showing up to the meetings," he said.
After the meeting in Greensburg, the Tuscaloosa Task Force launched an online town hall to gather community input from residents about what they want in their rebuilt community.
At the website, residents can submit ideas ranging from land use and urban design to infrastructure and sustainability.
Hundreds of ideas and thousands of comments have been submitted, making Tuscaloosa's page the most active town hall the site has had so far. Many people seemed to want more sidewalks and biking trails in the city, something which was also implemented in Greensburg to promote shopping and foot traffic.
And though it may take a while for any of the ideas to pan out, it gives city officials a place to start in planning for the future.
All of the communities affected by this deadly storm season have a long road to recovery ahead of them.
Despite Greensburg's progress, four years out it still is not back to its pre-storm population.
McConnell surveyed the town while he was visiting.
"They are four years out from their tornado, and it was a small rural community, and they lost half their population, half their population did not come back," he said.
"There are still a lot of vacant lots."
Dixson said that the difficult part now is creating the jobs to attract residents.
"Everyone that has a job or source of income has already rebuilt their homes," he said.
Greensburg is banking that its name and green status will prove useful in attracting green energy industry to the community. Meanwhile, it survives on the agriculture, oil and gas jobs that returned after the storm.
While jobs may not be as much of an issue for a larger community like Tuscaloosa, which is large enough to buffer any temporary loss, for small towns like Smithville it could be devastating.
But Bond said she learned one more thing from her visit to the small town in Kansas.
"You can come back after an EF5."

Dedicated Lightroom fans will find Lightroom mobile a fine lean-back photo-editing experience, but it needs a little bulking up before it's enough to attract new subscribers to the fold.

Adobe ports its iPad app to the iPhone. It's cramped, as you might imagine, but functional.

A nice, but not necessarily must-have update, Adobe Lightroom 5 remains a strong program for working with raw images.
The latest version of Adobe's raw-editing software enters public beta testing and introduces the capacity to proxy-edit files on disconnected drives.
Pricing not available
In effort to take on Adobe, DxO Labs tries working with its competitor while Corel tries a speed boost and new features.
People have put 100 million images into catalogs for the mobile version of Adobe's photo-editing software. It only works on iOS devices now, but Android support should arrive this year.
After a course correction in the newest Lightroom version, people who cancel Creative Cloud subscriptions still will be able to manage, print, and export photos.
For downloading, retouching, and exporting raw-format photos, Adobe Lightroom is the cat's pajamas.
Adobe has released a tablet version of Lightroom, its photo catalog and editing software.
Adobe still sells perpetual licenses for Lightroom for Mac and Windows. The new iPad adjunct, though, comes only with subscriptions costing at least $10 per month.

28 Fall Mantel Ideas
Shelf switch up [1]
Dried allium, goldenrod and wheat in a group of vases turn a shelf into a seasonal display. Leaves, acorns and gourds accent the arrangement.
Pretty painted gourds [4]
Trade the usual fresh gourds for jewel-tone painted dried ones. Start with dried gourds in varying sizes. (If not available locally, try amishgourds.com [5].) For crisp lines, apply painter's tape around the middle of a gourd. Paint half of the gourd with latex wall paint and remove tape when dry. For a drippy effect, pour 1⁄4 cup paint into a resealable plastic storage bag. Snip a corner to drizzle paint around the middle of a gourd (like piping frosting). Using a foam brush, carefully extend paint up from the drips, adding additional paint as necessary, to reach one end of the gourd. Pile painted gourds on a mantel or shelf or in decorative bowls.
Fall silhouettes [8]
Highlight the organic shapes of fall with these simple decorations. Showcase bright red, gold and orange leaves in float frames for a truly dramatic silhouette. A tall vase brimming with bittersweet branches adds height to the mantel.
Harvest bouquet [11]
Fashion an easy but gorgeous mantel bouquet with feathers, wheat and nuts.
Fill a vase with nuts or seeds, then use branches, feathers, flowers or leaves as accents.
Gorgeous gourds [14]
An assortment of gourds and other natural elements fills this simple mantel display.
We mixed two larger hard-shell gourds with smaller soft-shell gourds (and tucked in a squash, too). Bittersweet branches and maple leaves provide extra color and texture.
Spell it out [17]
Brown-painted crafts store letters spell out fall in a display for a mantel or shelf. Cover one letter with a glass cloche and elevate two other letters on glass cake plates of different heights. Accent with fall leaves, berries or gourds if you like.
Framed leaves [20]
Make these nostalgic-looking fall decorations in just minutes with a few everyday materials. Print the name of a leaf on neutral cardstock, or use stick-on letters from a scrapbooking store. Glue a pressed leaf to the cardstock. Create a frame by attaching twigs to the edge of the cardstock.
Creepy mantel [23]
We can't resist a little skin-crawling fun! Plastic spiders wander over pumpkins draped in ripped cheesecloth. "Hairy" cording feels a bit like a spider's trail on another. Add a faux crow, and you've set the proper spooky mood for Halloween.
Stacked gourds [26]
Bring autumn to your table or mantel by showing off gourds in cylindrical vases. Use containers of different sizes, and stack varying numbers of gourds. Add a pretty curving touch with a length of fresh pumpkin vine or another fresh or artificial vine.
Picturesque leaves [29]
For an easy display, combine brightly colored fall leaves with an empty picture frame.
Hang leaves on S-hooks (used for jewelry making and found at crafts stores) or pin to a ribbon. Suspend ribbon from two nails, draping it loosely across the center. Anchor the display with a branch of brightly colored berries at the frame base and setting small gourds in eggcups.
Autumn inspirations [32]
Give a traditional vase of roses a fall makeover by adding red and gold leaves. Put the vase on a cake stand to add height, and scatter a few small pumpkins or gourds on the stand to complete the autumn display.
Harvest collection [35]
Pretty white Lumina pumpkins make sophisticated vases for fall foliage. We used an assortment of cattails, leaves, seasonal berries and orange tulips.
Remove the tops of the pumpkins and hollow out the insides. Place a watertight container inside each pumpkin to keep flowers fresh and prevent pumpkins from getting soggy.
Focus on fruit [38]
Gather colorful fruits such as lemons, limes, kumquats and oranges for a pretty display in fall colors, accented by pine branches. Silver ornaments will give your mantel centerpiece extra sparkle, especially as Thanksgiving nears.
Fall photos [41]
Show off autumn colors in a photo display. Select several photos with varying compositions of autumn leaves, fruits and plants. Emphasize bright fall colors with plain white matting. Rest one or two frames on the mantel and hang the rest.
Simply green [44]
Pots of moss bring a touch of green indoors and work well with both autumn and winter holiday mantel arrangements. We scattered pinecones around the pots for a fall feel. A clothesline along the mantel can hold leaves in early fall; as winter approaches, change out the look by adding mittens or snowflakes.
Orchard pickings [47]
Display the best picks from an orchard adventure.
Use decorative urns, candlesticks or vases to vary height, and anchor the arrangement with some small plants.
Leaf prints [50]
Highlight the beauty of fall leaves by pressing them in frames. Pick a variety of colors, shapes and textures to include in the frames.
To make the display pictured: Place a leaf between two pieces of glass and secure with colored linen book cloth tape.
Antique assembly [53]
Create a spooky feel with a grouping of old objects, such as books, an old-fashioned clock and a small chest.
We used a cloche to capture a blackbird on a nest and books as a resting place for a seashell. Artificial cobwebs complete the look.
Creepy crawlies [56]
Green hedge apples offer a pop of color and a destination for faux spiders in this Halloween-inspired mix of objects.
Serene and green [59]
This mantel highlights serene green and natural tones. The framed plant sketch ties together both the natural and neutral aspects of the mantel. Rest art on the mantle to avoid new wall holes for seasonal decorating. Potted plants add height and a pop of color.
Gourd vases [62]
Gourds make perfect vases for fall flowers. Subtle white decoration hints at winter's approach.
Cut a hole in gourds large enough to accommodate florist tubes. Once dry, insert flowers in the tubes, and keep flowers watered. Or use dried flowers for a longer-lasting arrangement.
Ghostly frames [65]
Invite framed ghosts to haunt your mantle this Halloween. Candles in votives add flickering light, mini pumpkins fall color.
Nature's best [68]
A nature calendar inspired this scheme. Two calendar pages provide background for the focal point a knotty branch. Green moss balls, candles and vases filled with dried foliage bookend the arrangement.
Fall finds [71]
This simple display features gourds and branches along with a vase in autumnal tones.
Spooky stories [74]
Rewrite an old tale into a new spooky story with Halloween book covers.
Cover old books with colorful paper decorated with appropriate messages and drawings.
Eerie feel [77]
A homemade bat (made from black poster board) gives Halloween flair to this wall sconce. The mirror reflects a black candlestick and candle, while books wrapped in decorative paper add contrast.
Sophisticated decor [80]
Tiered white containers brim with seeded eucalyptus, while a wooden chest and small white pumpkin bring offer interesting shapes and muted colors to this sophisticated mantel.
Seasonal elements [83]
Change just a few mantel elements for an easy seasonal decoration change. Here, a fiery orange vase filled with large leaves brings a big pop of fall color.

A judge granted an emergency motion allowing Duggan to be deposed under oath about his involvement with the emergency manager and the mystery donors involved in the Governor Snyder's controversial, but now defunct, NERD fund. The questioning would take place Monday - one day before the election. "They're fighting very vigorously to keep this information from becoming public prior to Tuesday's election day," claims labor activist Robert Davis. Davis is suing Duggan, the state and Governor Rick Snyder."Mike Duggan was a part of the conspiracy with the governor and governor's team, Richard Baird, to appoint an emergency manager for city of Detroit," Baird says. Duggan's legal advisor, Butch Hollowell, denies the allegation and doubts Duggan will be deposed because he believes this lawsuit, like so many others Davis has filed to try and keep the frontrunner off the ballot, will be thrown out. In fact, just last week Davis asked the Supreme Court to pull Duggan from the ballot for not filing the proper paperwork, and he claimed Detroit's city clerk screwed up the ballots. He called for the ballots to be reprinted, putting this election in jeopardy. But both emergency motions were denied and sent to the court of appeals to be decided at a later date."Another frivolous Robert Davis lawsuit, who's really out of control, and this will be dismissed like all the other lawsuits. Mike Duggan had nothing to do whatsoever with the selection of the emergency manager. I also have to point out that Mr. Davis is a supporter of Benny Napoleon; we think that he's behind this," says Hollowell. Sheriff Napoleon denied to Fox 2 being behind this last ditch effort, but maintains what he has said from the start: Duggan was not only in favor of an emergency manager, he helped the governor every step of the way. He feels the voters have the right to know the truth. "Verify what I've said all along, that Mr. Duggan has been complicit in this process, that he was very much intimately involved with governor and the governor's staff in that he was basically guiding the process," Napoleon tells Fox 2's Taryn Asher. The state plans to fight this lawsuit.Sara Wurfel, a spokesperson for Gov. Snyder released a comment saying, "It is really unfortunate that the state has to pay tax payer dollars to counter the endless string of frivolous lawsuits by Mr. Davis."Wurfel maintains Duggan was never a candidate for the emergency manager position, but he was consulted like many other people in Detroit including Napoleon.In the meantime the judge ordered Gov. Snyder and the NERD Fund not to destroy or alter any phone records or emails.

"He is being transitioned out," said a person close to the situation, exchanging his candor for confidentiality. "He's a liability and that's politics. Everybody gets fired in this business."
Dillon -- who has been routinely drilled in the press over his train-wreck divorce, his drinking problems and his inability to manage his own campaign finance account, which is missing more than $100,000 -- is seen as a liability to Gov. Snyder's re-election chances.
"How many questions do you think the governor would have to answer about a guy in charge of the state finances who can't balance his own check book," the source said. "And then there's the ex-wife."
As state treasurer Dillon handles billions of dollars in tax-payer investments. He is also the direct supervisor of Kevyn Orr, Detroit's emergency manager.
Dillon's ex-wife recently accused him of battery and making drunken racial slurs about her boyfriend. The Wayne County Prosecutor found insufficient evidence to bring charges.
Dillon issued the following statement:
It is with mixed emotions that I announce I have tendered my resignation to Governor Snyder. It has become clear to me as it likely is to most that it is unfair to my family and the residents of Michigan, to allow issues related to my recent divorce and the unfortunate acrimony associated with it to be a continued source of media attention and scrutiny. My family deserves privacy and our residents deserve to know their State Treasurer is not distracted by such issues and events. For these personal and professional reasons, I have determined it is in the best interests of all that I resign.
I am deeply committed to Governor Snyder and have tremendous respect for him and his unbending commitment to the people of Michigan. I want to thank the Governor for the opportunity to serve as Treasurer and will work closely with his office to ensure a smooth transition to my successor.
I have always considered it a privilege and honor to work on behalf of all Michigan residents and will look back fondly on my years of service in Lansing.
Statement from Governor Rick Snyder:
LANSING, Mich. — Gov. Rick Snyder issued the following statement regarding the resignation today submitted by state Treasurer Andy Dillon, who will step down Nov. 1:
"It is with regret but understanding that I accept Andy's resignation. He has been instrumental in many of the comprehensive reforms that are contributing to Michigan's comeback. Andy has worked tirelessly on behalf of the people of Michigan, and we're a stronger state because of his dedication, expertise and leadership.
"We all can be proud of everything that Michigan has accomplished during the past three years. Working together, we've brought fairness and simplicity to Michigan's outdated tax system. We've worked collaboratively to help cities and schools deal with financial crises. His partnership with Detroit to assist in the city's turnaround is just one example of Andy's positive impact on Michigan. We've also worked with our local government partners to encourage greater service efficiencies that benefit taxpayers. A key reason for the success of these initiatives and others is Andy's commitment to Michigan's future. He embraced those challenges because he understands that these policies are critical to ensuring more and better jobs for families, and preparing our children for the exciting opportunities that lie ahead.
"Andy has demonstrated time and again that he was the right person at the right time to serve as treasurer. I respect his decision to seek new opportunities and offer my sincere gratitude for his years of selfless service to our state.
"I am pleased that Andy will remain available to assist the new treasurer with the transition. We are working to select a new treasurer and will share that announcement when the process is completed."
Statement from Michigan AFL-CIO President Karla Swift:
Whether serving in the Michigan Legislature or as State Treasurer, Andy Dillon never had the best interests of working families at heart. The fact that Gov. Snyder appointed him in the first place shows the administration's commitment to serving corporate special interests.
The timing of this announcement raises questions. Why would Dillon step down now, just as Governor Snyder's secretive NERD Fund is beginning to receive serious scrutiny? We respect the Dillon family's need for privacy, but wonder why it wasn't an issue months ago.
