Taxpayers Get Answers to Tax Questions, State of Economy in Chat Session April 2
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (March 27, 2012) – With just three weeks left until the April 17 tax deadline, many Marylanders still haven't filed their 2011 tax return. Some of that delay may be simple procrastination, but many others have questions about their taxes and won't file until they get the answers. To help taxpayers get those answers, Comptroller Peter Franchot is hosting his fourth live, online chat on Monday, April 2 from noon – 1 p.m.
The Comptroller will be joined by his team of tax experts to take questions from all over the state about tax laws, allowable exemptions, earned income credit and the state of Maryland's economy.
"My agency strives to help taxpayers as much as possible when it comes to filing and figuring out taxes every year. Hosting these online chats is just one way I can help Marylanders navigate the often complex issues that come up when filing their taxes," said Comptroller Franchot. "Other services we offer are free e-filing for all Maryland taxpayers, a Website to assist with questions and contacts and 12 branch offices to assist with questions or problems."
To submit questions for the Comptroller ahead of time, please visit this link . Use this link or the icon on the Comptroller's Website to join the Comptroller's chat.
As always free, state tax assistance is available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Additional hours of assistance will be offered on Saturday, April 14 from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m., and on Tuesday, April 17, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. at all agency locations. For branch location information, please visit here.
Comptroller Franchot also reminds Marylanders that the tax filing deadline has been extended this year to Monday, April 17 because the traditional day of April 15 falls on a Sunday this year and the celebration of Emancipation Day in the District of Columbia is on Monday, April 16.

"I loved everything about this card except for the font I chose for the back of the card. It was so tiny you could barely read it. I went with the bracket cutout which looks great on this card."
"I searched long and hard to find the card design that would best feature the photo that I wanted to use. It had to have the greeting in the upper left corner and no borders. This was the perfect template. As with all Tiny Prints templates, it's an easy-to-use browser-based template that anyone can use. My only regret was that I forgot to change the font color on the back from white, so when I printed on white it was invisible. But that was my fault."
"We ordered the scalloped edge and it really made for a beautiful product. I thought the photo quality could have been better, but we ordered the matte finish so could have been that."
"We used our wedding photo for our first holiday card. We love how the white spots around the card resemble snow falling around our picture that was already very ethereal. We were so pleased with the paper quality. I expected to get a thinner card but they were printed on really nice card stock and the image was flawless. We are mailing them out this week and we can't wait to see what our family thinks. I'm sure they will want to know where we ordered them. Thank you."
"Love love love this design. I got it on the pearl shimmer card stock and it came out lovely. This is my 6th year ordering holiday cards from Tiny Prints and I'm never disappointed!"

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Your Rating
Most shows require at least 25 warm bodies to repeatedly break the laughter barrier. Anything less and people tend to politely clam up.
That Karie Richards — alone onstage in the show she penned — was able to get her small crowd to burst out laughing despite the near constant tears brought on by her tragic monologue is nothing short of stupendous.
Richards plays Birdy, a sweet, charming woman who lives "in an almost constant state of trying to make things better for other people." That's when her meds aren't slowing her down, at any rate. Her free-flowing conversation with the audience voices soul-gnawing worries most of us choose to ignore: overfishing; grandparents locked in seniors home and the guy who showed up to yoga with crutches.
Despite mounting evidence, however, the show never gives up on hope.
That, too, is stupendous.
— Matt TenBruggencate
From the Fringe program:
How can you feel guilty for something you failed to do before you were even born?
Meet Birdy. She's on a quest for world harmony. With a huge and open heart, she is often stopped short by the love she feels for others. But she worries. A lot. And that worries her.
Director: Jeff Culbert
Cast: Karie Richards
"(birdy's) honesty and unexpected universality make it powerful, its contrasts make it sad and its humour makes it hopeful." - Plank
Recommended For: General Audience

J.B. Robinson jewelers BATE & SWITCH on DIAMONDS
Posted by Luvyourpets10 on 09/28/2010
WALDORF, MARYLAND -- To all those who have been victimized by JBR I hope my info helps, I feel your pain. Try to not let the anger and suspicion get you because then you are still allowing this store to victimize and control you just do your best to use the laws already in place and document the heck out of EVERYTHING and remember GOOD WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL, I promise. I don't have time to commiserate further so anybodys' angry words will stay with them not me but I did want to help others that may go through the same thing get them help with the numbers below. I had the law behind me so no matter what is said on here JBR HQ had to work with us or they knew we could and would take legal action.
JBR CHARGED US FOR THE MORE EXPENSIVE DIAMONDS BUT GAVE US THE MUCH LOWER QUALITY, MUCH CHEAPER DIAMONDS WORTH OVER A $1,000+ but once threatened with the states attorney down in La Plata, MD they quickly tried to work with us. I should have followed through so others on here didn't go through what we had.
JBR is owned by Sterling Corp in Ohio 330-668-5756/ 330-665-7907
Bill is or was at least a few months back the head/master jeweler out of Tysons Corner or White Marsh 410-931-5380
You can contact the FTC.gov or State's Attorney of your state or even Ohio's state or Attorney General or BBB but these last 2 can't really enforce much like the states attorney can.
I will share the basic story there are too many details. We purchased several pieces of jewelry there at the Waldorf, MD mall location. These pieces were designed on paper only and comparison ring we should them that we wanted was tiny, for a woman. What we received was very poor quality jewelry the womens rings were huge like a mans ring (Nico the jewelry maker at the time apparently for the whole east coast must be blind and or lazy because his work was extremely sloppy, so sloppy that when I returned a few weeks later to try to get the jewelry repaired JBR tried to say these brand new pieces were really ANTIQUES and my woman's ring was really a mans ring, till they saw the receipts and matching photos of the rings). One salesperson tried to help us out by talking to Maryland's headquarters because she too could see how horrible our jewelry really was till her job was threatened. We documented everything, who we spoke with dates, times and what they said JUST LIKE THEY DO and through much tenacity we found the STERLING CORPORATIONS though their customer service reps lie and deceive an angry sorry bunch I finally got a their SUPERVISOR. They saw I followed through wasn't nasty in return and was not bluffing and ready to go to the police (I had been ripped off and to the states attorney; every state has one different than the attorney general which I could wipe my ass with; they were no help).So SEVERAL YEARS later that JBR tried to force me to sign a paper that I wouldn't sue them and tried to make us repay for our ring but we didn't. Again the Sterling Corp had to get involved and they did or I did what I said I would I stood out front of their store and politely told every single customer my whole story. HQ forced the Waldorf JBR rep to give us our ring without signing. I still wish I had at least let the state attorney know their dubious dealings so others don't got through the same so if my info helps another then great.

"I stood out front of their store and politely told every single customer how my story. I didn't have to sign we got our ring and some other things from the store ". This smells of blackmail...
Posted by Solumina on 2010-09-29:
I have no idea what the letter was about. All I get is that you were unhappy with the ring you got. Kind of sounds like you are mad about it being a men's ring but I would assume that you would have seen the ring before you paid for it.
Posted by luvyourpets10 on 2010-10-03:
"Any comment that is considered inappropriate, user harassment, mean, insulting, passive aggressive or disrespectful will result in a strike. If you receive three strikes your account is banned." I see you didn't read your the guidelines or your own emailS to me. What a shame it sounds like you are trying to be passive aggressive (your nasty comments about men not seeing a ring that was designed on paper), insulting (both emails), disrespectful (the anger in your emails) AND harassing (both emails). WOW not sure why all the anger toward me voicing how I was victimized by JB Robinson...MAYBE you work for that store. Do you? You asked if I ever saw the ring they haven't made yet, you answered your own question. How do you see a ring that hasn't been made yet? I think you work for JBR. Boy 2 emails to me I take that as harassment. You must be so angry that one email didn't make your point, I guess with the first one not making much sense you had to email another? Boy anger is not good for your body so yours must be a mess.

I am not a fan of chain jewelry stores. They all seem to churn out the same mass produced stuff.
You mentioned you bought several pieces and were not happy with the quality--why not return them immediately rather than keep them?
Posted by Anonymous on 2010-10-03:
I was wondering that too, Raven. Unless maybe it was custom jewelry they had to pay for in advance. But, I wouldn't have accepted it if it wasn't exactly what I had ordered.
Posted by raven2010 on 2010-10-03:
OH!! I didnt think of that, singsing.....I bet it was custom made. I wouldnt have accepted it either.

Buyer Beware
Posted by William130 on 01/03/2011
OHIO -- If you are planning on purchasing from JRB or if you have already don so, such as myself, please consider this. My following experience, described below, show that JRB do not stand behind their product.
My wife, picked out her engagement ring from JBR. I admit I wasn't too enthusiastic about doing business with them but I was open minded, and furthermore I was stuck! They presented a slick sale pitch to me that the Extended Service Plan was included in the stated price. What they should have said was, "the Extended Service Plans (ESP) is additional, optional, and included in the bottom line price that I am telling you". I found this to be deceiving and borderline unethical. And I wound up returning to the store with my itemized receipt to get my money back for the ESP. Couldn't they have just been upfront and sold me on the benefits of the ESP rather than try to deceive me.
Furthermore, they boast that the diamond mountings are covered by a replacement guarantee as long as I have the ring inspected every so often. Sounds reasonable, right? Wrong! What they don't tell you is that if they notice or CLAIM to notice a loose stone, you must pay them for the repair in order to continue the replacement guarantee. Why wouldn't they just fix it and be glad that my diligence prevented then from having to replace the stone? And, if you chose not to pay for the so called needed repair, they will make notation on your account. How is that a guarantee? The only thing they guarantee is that if I pay them to keep the stoned set, they will never have to replace my stone!
Upon finding a loose stone on my wife's ring, I stated my discontent with this cleaver little loop hole in their plan. I then, very respectfully, stated that I was going to take the ring to an independent jeweler for the repair. My motivation to go to an independent jeweler included the price of service, turn around time, quality of service, and the proximity to my home. If those benefits didn't pan out, I would have certainly returned to JBR. Upon hearing that I was going to shop around the sales associate became enraged. She even hesitated to give me the rings back! I plan on returning to JBR after I get my repair to have my ring reinspected to continue the replacement guarantee. I can't wait to hear what they say about that!
Lastly, within one year, the plating on my wife ring is wearing off. It needs replated. Weather, this is normal or not is not the concern. My concern is that this should not be acceptable for any ring that is $1000+. Like I just said, I am aware that this will happen, but it should not be acceptable to a consumer. Consumers demand quality!
My advice to any consumer would be to avoid JBR. They clearly do not stand behind their product. I believe that good customer service will generate future business by virtue, it should not be designed as a ploy to lasso good customers into more charges.

SAGINAW, MICHIGAN -- At the very least I would like a response from your company regarding this incident. I have done business with J.B. Robinson for over 25 years. Today I took a ring in that I bought 5 years ago. During that five years, about a month after I got the ring...so called JB Exclusive Ring. I had to get a BRAND NEW RING of the same gender. After a couple of years, I had to have the shank checked and fixed. During those years I had this service called ESP Lifetime.
In February of this year...I took my rings in for a check. Now on my fingers I have all JB.Robinson Rings. After having the rings checked. A lady signed a piece of paper as I handed her my packet. Not thinking any thing about it, and thought she did ok with signing my papers. Today I take another ring in to be fixed, as I lost a diamond, which is really tiny diamond...and they REFUSED to fix my ring for free, because the one paper was not signed. At the time I told the manager that I was in Feb 2001, had the rings cleaned and checked, and at that time also had one ring fixed. Today they refused me of any free service because of one page was not sign. I argued with the manager, and she said since it the ESP lifetime was not signed, therefore I could not get free service. Now all this is over a little tiny diamond. I have always bought jewelry from J.B. Robinson Jewelers, but the way I was treated today. NO WAY.
Just want to alert other women out there getting these ESP lifetime, and if you do not go into the store every six months, to have your ring check, plus it gets you into there store to buy buy buy...BUT if your papers are not signed correctly, then you loose. YOU pay for a service, and I know I was in the right, and it was my word against there's and no proof of writing which I thought the sales lady did sign the papers correctly, she didn't. So now I am stuck with a ring that I will take somewhere else. In the future I will never buy an ESP Lifetime. I paid $149.00 for a lifetime ESP, and look what I got zilch. This is so totally unfair. What ever happened to the Customer is right.
After 25 years with JB.Robinson Jewelers....I am heading somewhere else and no more Life time warranties, as this company just wants your money, and did not believe the customer. What a rip off. Pat

My husband and I had the same problem with JBR. The form didn't get signed and them they voided it. We even went back and had a lot of work done on my ring (new diamond) and they wouldn't reactivate it. For how much money we spend, I think my diamond quality sucks.
Posted by diamontologist on 2006-08-22:
I happen to work for JBR, and I just wanted to let you know where everybody posting to this is wrong. The ESP and the diamond bond inspections are two completely different things. There is no inspection required for the ESP at all. Everything is explained in the store at the time of purchase, but most people choose not to listen or just to ignore what we say. We say it for a reason, but nobody pays attention when we tell them what inspections they need to keep warranties valid, as evidenced by the confusion seen here. Also, in regards to diamond quality, the less money you spend, the lower quality diamond you get, plain and simple. Most people have unrealistic expectations as far as the diamonds they want versus the money they want to spend. Unless you are willing to part with thousands of dollars, you probably will not get the kind of diamond you want. So please, do us all a favor: pay attention, and stop complaining.

Diamond Inspections
Posted by Diadey on 08/13/2004
OHIO -- The treatment that we received from Mary the manager at a JB Robinson's OH is nothing short of unacceptable and a disgrace to the company. We went in for our bi-annual exam for my diamond warranty, and in my ring registry there were various sheets with the records of my other visits (needed for my warranty). When they returned the newly stamped registry, the papers that had been inside were gone. We asked them to return them and they said that they didn't have them (and they sort of laughed about it). I called the JB Robinson's headquarters to find out if I needed that stamped record to maintain my warranty, and they said it is best to have it, and not to listen if stores say that I don't. I called this Mary and said to contact me if she found them. She called and said that she did and that she would mail them. I gave her the address. I waited 2-3 weeks, and nothing came. I called her back, and she said that she had the wrong address. I gave her the new address, and then didn't hear anything for 3 more weeks. I called again and she said that she forgot to send it. I even sent her a SELF ADDRESSED STAMPED ENVELOPE so that she couldn't mess it up. I waited a few more weeks and when we called, she said that she lost them. (Was she going to bother calling me to tell me that?) She said that there was nothing that she could do...very flippant about it. My husband got stern with her for the first time since this ordeal began, and after MUCH complaining, she agreed to make us a printout and mail it to us. It has been weeks since that and we still have nothing. This has been going on for more than 3 months. THis Mary is absolutely unprofessional, and seems very immature. She will not call us to update us on the situation, and she lies and makes excuses, hoping that we will go away. Maintaining my warranty is VERY important to me, and at this point, this is about more than just the registry history. It is about her unprofessional behavior. When you make as expensive of a purchase as a diamond, you expect perfect treatment. I will not ever go to JB Robinson's again because I don't want to deal with a place that tolerates this type of customer treatment.

You shouldn't have left the store without the papers or at least copies of them if you were that worried.

Don't Waste Your Money/Time of Warranty Poor Repair
Posted by Adalena on 04/23/2011
STERLING HEIGHTS, MICHIGAN -- 02/27/00 Purchased ring and insurance for approximately $240. Ring had to be inspected every six months to keep warranty coverage. Total cost $3112.00.
03/28/09 Ring needed prong repaired; I missed the last 6 month check up, so I lost insurance coverage. Prong cost $88.00 to repair.
04/05/09 Re-purchased warranty for $159.00 after last repair.
12/24/10 Ring needed repair… fix prong and tighten center stone. Salesperson was able to rotate the diamond in the setting.
01/07/11 Approximate date of pick up. Did not notice color difference immediately because I did not put ring on right away. I was tanning and often do not wear my ring(s)/jewelry.
01/17/11 This is an approximate date. I did not get the yellow slip back when I returned the ring this time. I returned to JB Robinson with the ring because of a copper color across the top of the ring and around the diamonds. The ring was sent back to the repair shop once again and I waited…….
02/15/11 My husband stopped to pick the ring up. It was still copper color and he refused to take it as it was. The yellow slip stated "Pls make gold: gold color in cracks and everywhere". The band around my finger was not discolored nor was the inside of the ring that touches my skin. The gold was across the top and around the diamonds. JB Robinson put on slip: RUSH NEEDS IMMEDIATELY.
March '11 We were promised by store manager that the ring would be fixed to satisfaction. When I picked it up next, it looked perfectly fine. I wore it about 2-3 weeks and noticed the copper coloring resurfacing all around the diamonds again. At this point, I started to do some research of my own and found out that when gold is heated at too high of a temperature, the gold takes on a copper color. This occurs because high temperature causes the copper alloy to rise to the top. The way to fix this is to polish it to remove the copper tone or plate the gold, which is what I believe the repair person tried to do, but the color surfaced again. I forgot to mention that while looking at the ring under my classroom microscope, one of the prongs had a hole in it. This was verified by Tonia and one other store personnel.
I called the store; they contacted the repair shop. The shop said that they would need to "test the ring for chemicals" and that they had never heard of a ring turning copper color. Ironically, this is how jewelers make Tri-Gold items by heating gold to different temperatures. At this point, I was a bit skeptical about the knowledge of the repair shop. I shared with her my findings in my research. I was then given the Customer Care number 1-800-732-8131 and connected with Elizabeth at ext. 6176. I went through the WHOLE ordeal with her one more time. She told me that I was to return the ring to the store and they were to send it out to another repair shop and not the original one because it would keep coming back in the same condition. I had told Elizabeth that I was taking the ring to another jeweler to verify or disqualify my findings about the ring being exposed to high temperatures before I left it at JB Robinson. Elizabeth assured me that they would not try to pull something over on me.
04/19-11 I got a call from Nicole as advised by the manager, Tonia Jackson, because she wanted to get the message out to me since she would be off until Thursday. Nicole told me that the repair shop determined that a chemical changed the color and perhaps I was taking a new medication or using something that caused the color to change. This is absolutely ridiculous. First of all, any medications that I use is what I have been taking for years. I am not using new cleaner nor have I come in contact with chemicals. I asked Nicole, "If it was indeed a chemical causing the color change, why isn't the color changed on the underside of the ring…that part that comes in contact with my skin?" The copper color is only around the diamonds, which is exactly where the prong was fixed. I was put on hold about four times over the next 20 minutes so that she could try a find a contact number for me. Nicole then turned the phone over to Stacie. Things went from bad to worst. Long story even shorter, Stacie told me that they contacted customer service and that they stand behind what the jewelry repair store stated…the gold was breaking down because of a chemical and there is nothing they can do about it. I was to do whatever I needed (hire a lawyer, etc.) to recoup the damage done to the ring.
04/20/11 I have contacted Elizabeth twice…once last night after the call from JB Robinson and once at 10 am.
04/21/11 At this point, I have now left four messages for Elizabeth at Customer Care and no return call.
04/22/11 Ring was picked up from store. Repair stated that "tarnishing not caused by shop. poss. chem. contact or body chem.. mixing w/lotions, perfume, etc. on guest." Ring was polished once again. The underside of the diamond again shows a reflection of copper coloring.
04/23/11 Taking ring to Massoud Jewelers in Troy for evaluation. As they suspected, the other repair shop used a "low karat solder" and the prongs were pitted with tiny holes in the metal. There was no indication of "chemical" contact or body chemical. They stated that it was clearly repair related. With absolutely no help from JB Robinson Jewelers and the fact that I spent $400.00 for warranty/repairs, I had to purchase a new band to set my solitaire diamond and the six enhancers into. The cost was $1800. Finally, I heard back from Elizabeth. She called the home phone, which I never gave her, instead of contacting me by my cell phone. She claims that she was out of the office, even though her answering message stated that she was busy with other customers and would get back with me as soon as possible. She, too, said that they stand behind JB Robinson repair shop. No surprise there.
04/23/11 Now is my turn to let other suspecting customers really know how JB Robinson treats their customers and their customer care service. I will be contacting Angie's List, Consumer Reporting, Better Business Bureau, Facebook, Channel 7's Ruth to the Rescue, etc.

I'd look into a small claims case. It sounds like this company took you to the cleaners. What a nightmare. I'm glad it's over, but it really cost you.
Posted by Venice09 on 2011-04-25:
Colors of gold are not made by heating the gold to different temperatures. They are produced by mixing pure 24K yellow gold with various other metals. The percentage of the other metals (copper, silver, zinc, nickel) produces the different shades of gold.
Posted by Anonymous on 2011-04-25:
Gold (by nature) is yellow. White gold yellows over time and requires periodic rhodium replating. Sounds like the repair brought out your ring's "whellow" and they are trying to milk you for a bunch of money when all you need is a cheap rhodium dip which they should provide FOR FREE since their repair caused the damage. Bunch of crooks.
Posted by trmn8r on 2011-04-25:
Venice - as I read it, the OP's research yielded that if 18kt, 14kt etc gold is overheated, some of the non-gold metal within may come to the surface.
Chemistry wasn't my strong suit, but this makes sense to me. Copper should have a lower melting point than gold, I believe. 18kt has 18 parts gold to 6 copper, 14kt has 14 parts gold to 10 copper.
Posted by Venice09 on 2011-04-25:
Blue, I have white gold pieces and they have not yellowed. Yellow gold is not plated to make it white. The color is achieved through a mixture of metals.
Posted by Venice09 on 2011-04-25:
Trmn, the OP stated that jewelers make colored gold by heating the gold to different temps. I am only saying that white and rose gold are made with a mixture of metals, not by heating.
Posted by trmn8r on 2011-04-25:
OK, Venice, I just wanted to point out I believe the OP is on the right track with this line of thinking: "[I] found out that when gold is heated at too high of a temperature, the gold takes on a copper color. This occurs because high temperature causes the copper alloy to rise to the top"
I worked on one of my mom's silver rings once (with a torch) and discolored it because I overheated it. Same thing, different metals.
Posted by Venice09 on 2011-04-25:
I didn't read past the tri-color part, so I'm not sure why the ring was damaged. I just wanted to point out that colored gold is not made by heating the gold.
Posted by trmn8r on 2011-04-25:
Ok, Venice, we are focused on two different parts of the OP's complaint. It isn't that you didn't read far enough, you passed by it.
I spent 3 minutes trying to substantiate the OP's research on "Tri-gold" and came up empty handed. I don't think this would be true, unless there was a very controlled way of heating the item. Otherwise, its seems it would result in an uneven appearance.
I think the OP has the right answer to the root cause. It's too late - I'm outta here.
Posted by Venice09 on 2011-04-25:
By saying tri-gold, I think the OP means jewelry that is made with a combination of yellow, white and rose gold. That is what is commonly called tri-colored gold. That's the only thing I was commenting on.
Now go to bed!

Thanks for a well written review!! Looks like you're taking the right steps in getting the message out about this company. Hopefully others will not have to go thru the experience you did.

Poor Craftsmanship and Care
Posted by Lauren_alloway_08 on 07/01/2013
ZANESVILLE, OHIO -- My fiancé ordered my ring from JB Robinson on May 11, 2013 and they told him that since it was a custom designed ring that it would take a few weeks to get it made and in the way that he wanted. He picked it up May 25, 2013 and ended up surprising me with the proposal on June 1, 2013 with our friends present. I had my ring for 4 days and took it in to JB Robinson to get it sized because it was slightly big. Since I was sending it away to get sized I decided that I would like it engraved with our initials in cursive. I watched the sales associate write the note and they sent it away. Two weeks later my ring comes back to the store and they call me to let me know it is ready to pick up. When I go in to get my ring, the engraving is in bold block letters (not cursive as requested) and there is yellow on my white gold band. Simply unacceptable; so we send it back. They have my ring for another week and call me again on June 25, 2013 to let me know that my ring is in once again. I look at the ring and you cannot even read the initials that I requested be engraved into my band. They are on top of each other. At this point I am upset and crying in the middle of the store because they have not only messed up my ring for the 2nd time, it needs to be sent out AGAIN. I picked out a new font for the initials and told them that the numbers were good and not to change them. The manager was able to push back our first payment at my request because we did not wish to make a payment on a ring that I didn't even get to wear the first few weeks of our engagement. We still get to pay the extra interest. I get my ring back June 28, 2013 and they have changed my numbers, and there is a dent in my band from where they have engraved my band.
At this point I have called it quits on getting any of my work done at JB Robinson. I took my ring and I have since gone to another jewelry store capable of doing work in their store. I had planned on buying our wedding bands at JB Robinson also, but have since changed my mind because of the poor craftsmanship and not so careful handling of my very expensive ring ($7100.00).
I could not be any more disappointed in my experience and do not plan on ever going back to purchase jewelry from this store. Would not recommend to anyone.

JOLIET, ILLINOIS -- Don't waste your time with this store. My husband purchased my wedding and engagement rings from JBR and had no complaints at the time. However you must have them inspected every 6 months to keep up the warranty, if you don't the warranty is voided. We have been married 3 years so had them in maybe 6-7 times. Twice now I've had to have them sent out to repair cracked diamonds in the bands...how cheap are these diamonds, no one else I know has had to have small diamonds repaired in their rings.
With this second repair I have been waiting 3 months and still have no ring. I was told the rings were in so I went to pick them up and 1 out of 3 rings were in. I was then informed that my other two rings were sent to the home office repair shop and they were sorry I wasn't informed of that. 2 weeks after picking up the ring I got a call letting me know that is what was taking so long. I was told it would be 6-8 weeks before they were in. It's been 11 weeks and no one calls to update me. I've called multiple times to find out the status and the repair shop is either closed or says they're still working on getting the diamonds. I'm not sure what's taking so long it's a jewelery repair shop, this is their job!
I was told they should be ready in the next 2 weeks, but I won't hold my breath as the 6-8 week deadline came and went a long time ago. The worst part for me is I did not have my rings for my anniversary, pictures with my pregnant belly, and more than likely won't have them for the birth of my child and the pictures following the birth : ( I'd rather have a ring with a cracked diamond that's too small to notice than no ring at all, but I don't get a say in the matter.

Poor Customer Service and Repairs
Posted by Moberg.katie on 08/06/2012
FLINT, MICHIGAN -- I purchased our wedding jewelery from JB Robinson Jewelers in the Genessee Valley Center . I was told to bring my engagement ring and enhancers in two weeks prior the my wedding date to have sent in to be sized and soldered. I am only a few days from my wedding now and still don't have my ring after three weeks. Each time I have been told a date that my wedding bands will be in I have gotten the run around from the manager Gerry. One of the times I called to try to get an answer what was going on with my rings I was told to calm down they will take care of it I have plenty of time. I finally was told last week my ring was in to pick up...later than Gerry told me of course. When my finance and I went to pick it up on of the enhancers had a large gap in between in and the engagement ring and was crooked. I AM NOT PUTTING ON MY WEDDING BANDS AT MY WEDDING WHICH I TAKE AS A SYMBOL OF LOVE AND COMMITMENT TO JUST HAVE TO TURN AROUND AND TAKE IT OFF AGAIN TO GET SENT BACK TO BE FIXED FOR ANOTHER UNDISCLOSED AMOUNT OF TIME! This experience has been completely unacceptable to my fiance and I and everyone else I have told and will keep telling more of this. As of today I still don't have my wedding set! VERY UNHAPPY ALL AROUND WITH THIS SERVICE!

AURORA, ILLINOIS -- JBRobinson has the WORST customer service of any company I have ever dealt with! The customer is NOT their first priority, their commission is! BE WARNED!
Here is my story: I bought an engagement ring in November 2011 from JBR Fox Valley, Aurora, IL. I proposed in January 2012. My fiancé wasn't happy with the ring so we took it back to JBR to pick a new setting and change the prongs because she didn't like the ones on the ring. The ring came back in the new setting; however, the setting/diamond was now crooked, there were gaps on the sides of the diamond, and the prongs were different sizes. So, we took the ring back AGAIN to get a diamond that was slightly larger in the table to cover the gaps, have the setting/diamond straightened, and have the prongs resized and consistent. The ring came back and now the diamond that was put in the ring was crookedly cut and they put the original prongs back on the ring that my fiancé specifically said she didn't want in the beginning. We took this botched up ring home hoping to just live with it since we were so sick of not being heard. Some time had passed and my fiancé just thought she would get a wedding band and just wear that (sadly enough). Well, the whole process started again. We ordered the band but wanted it shaved down to match the engagement ring. It came back unshaved. It doesn't even remotely match the engagement ring and we were told that was the only band that goes with that ring (which we found it was not – there are a few to choose from). So, we left again feeling defeated and very unhappy.
After numerous attempted phone calls to the store, and then calls not being returned, and visits to the store; we decided to just call JBR customer service to see what could be done, and hopefully just return everything. Customer service told us we had to go to a store, any store, to have the ring inspected and that they could help us. We went to the Joliet, IL location since we were sick of the lack of service and botched up repairs through the Fox Valley location. The assistant manager at Joliet, IL called corporate while we were there and corporate investigated our purchase and repair history. Part of the investigation is them calling the store of which the ring was purchased. Apparently, the assistant manager at Fox Valley is married to the manager at Joliet. The assistant manager at Fox Valley told her husband at Joliet not to return or exchange our ring and so he did not. In fact, he wasn't even on site that night but he called the Joliet store and specifically told the assistant manager to who was researching for us, not to exchange or return our purchase! WHAT?!
All we would have liked at this point in time was to not be treated like criminals and for JBR to compromise and at least let us return the wedding band; especially with the pattern of returns, visits and frustrations we've had with them! I really hope corporate JBR is aware of the shadiness that is happening amongst their stores! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE EVER!!! Social media sites…here we come!
Don't let this happen to you! Go to Zale to buy your diamonds!

Valpo Splits Twinbill with North Dakota State
Saturday, April 14, 2007Nick Mazzone (Carol Stream, Ill./Glenbard North H.S.) tossed a four-hitter in the nightcap, but errors hurt Valparaiso in the opener as the Crusaders split a doubleheader with North Dakota State on Saturday. Valpo lost 12-4 and won 7-1.
Game two saw Mazzone earn a seven-inning complete game, striking out six while allowing just the one run to improve to 2-4.
Valpo jumped in front with three in the first off starter Jeff Hille (0-6). Zach Rodeghero (New Lenox, Ill./Providence Catholic H.S.) singled home Jeff Rickert (Hamilton, Ohio/Fairfield H.S.) and later scored on Jason Brunelli's (Greenfield, Wis./Greenfield H.S.) double. An error late in the inning allowed Brunelli to score an unearned tally.
Rodeghero added RBIs two and three on the afternoon in the second with a single up the middle to increase the lead to 5-0. Colin Reynolds (Crookston, Minn./Central H.S.) led off the third with his first homerun of the season for the sixth Crusader run.
After the Bison answered with one in the bottom of the third, two more North Dakota State errors led to the Crusaders' final run in the fourth.
Rodeghero finished the opener 3-for-3 with a pair of runs scored and the three runs batted in to lead the eight hit attack for Valpo.
A pair of errors proved costly for the Crusaders in the third inning of the opener, leading to six unearned runs by the Bison. With the game tied at one, back-to-back errors on sacrifice bunt attempts set the stage for the big inning.
Valpo answered with three in the top of the fifth to cut the deficit to two. Mark Schoeck (Bellefountaine, Ohio/Bellefountaine H.S.) singled home Rickert and Ryan Manthei (Kenosha, Wis./Tremper H.S.) followed with a bases loaded two-run single.
North Dakota State added three runs in the sixth, two coming on a Greg Plecki single, along with single runs in the seventh and eighth for insurance.
The Bison scored first in the game on a sacrifice fly in the opening inning while the Crusaders answered in the top of the second. Josh Piazza's (Glenview, Ill./Notre Dame H.S.) single brought home Manthei to knot the game at one.
Jake Laber (3-3) earned the win for North Dakota State, pitching six innings and allowing four runs and 10 hits. Elliott Gibbs (Munster, Ind./Munster H.S.) suffered the loss (2-3), allowing seven runs, only one of which was earned, and four hits in 2.2 innings.
Valparaiso (9-18) and North Dakota State (4-18) will wrap up their four-game weekend series on Sunday with another doubleheader beginning at noon.

When the Elephants Dance
Tess Uriza Holthe - Author
An unprecedented celebration of Filipino culture by a brilliant new author destined to join the ranks of Arundhati Roy, Manil Suri, and Amy Tan
In the waning days of World War II, the Filipino people were caught between a brutal Japanese occupation and battling U.S. forces. In this compelling, incandescent novel, thirteen-year-old Alejandro Karangalan, his spirited older sister Isabelle, and Domingo, a passionate guerilla commander, narrate the story of the Karangalans-a family who huddle with their neighbors in the cellar of a house near Manila to wait out the war. In their crowded refuge, the group shares magical stories of Filipino myth and legend. Spellbinding, with a dazzling array of ghosts, witches, supernatural creatures, and courageous Filipinos from history, these tales transport the listeners and give them new resolve to survive.
January 1945
Mesmerizing...truly exciting to read. (The Washington Post)
A powerful tale of the Philippine Islands and a testament to the resilience and courage of the Filipino people. (San Francisco Chronicle)
Q: The opening scene with the young boy being captured by soldiers stemmed from actual events in your father's life. When did he first tell you about what happened to him? What was that experience like?

Where: JSU Stadium in Jacksonville
Radio: 91.9 FM (Jacksonville), 97.9 FM (Oxford)
Four-down territory
1. Keep the string going: The Gamecocks haven't lost to the Racers since the first game of the series in 2003. A win today would extend the series winning streak to 10 games and make it the fifth longest streak against one team in the history of the program. The game also is JSU's conference opener and it's a fairly important one because league preseason Nos. 1 and 2, Eastern Kentucky and Eastern Illinois, also play each other today. The Gamecocks are 8-2 in Ohio Valley Conference openers.
2. Exploit what you see: The Gamecocks lead the OVC in rushing, while Murray State is last in the league in total defense and rushing defense. The last time a team couldn't stop the JSU run, the Gamecocks ran for 523 yards and produced four 100-yard rushers in the same game. If the Racers open up the passing lanes to concentrate on the run, the Gamecocks can exploit that, too. In his two best games to date, Max Shortell has thrown for 216 yards against Alabama State and 263 against Georgia State.
3. Stick a fork in them: Life would be much less harrowing for the Gamecocks if they could hold onto a lead. They've had double-digit leads in their three closest wins — two entering the fourth quarter — and barely got out with their skin. They led Alabama State 24-9 after a big third quarter, then had to hold on after two turnovers deep in their territory led to touchdowns that cut the lead to two. They led Division II North Alabama 10-0 early and needed double overtime to win. And last week they led 23-9 entering the fourth quarter before two big special teams mistakes got Georgia State back in the game. JSU needed overtime to win.
4. Protect the home field: The Gamecocks are looking for win No. 250 at home since JSU Stadium opened in 1946. They enter today with a mark of 249-96-8. Since joining the OVC in 2003, they have the highest home winning percentage (.782) and most wins (43) in the league. They are 23-4 in their last 27 home games and have won seven straight. Six of their last eight wins that have been secured in the final two minutes or overtime have come at home.
Key matchup
Murray State receiver Walter Powell vs. JSU cornerbacks: Powell is a consensus preseason All-American and Walter Payton Award candidate who is a threat as both a receiver and a return man. He caught nine passes against Florida State last year and had more than 300 all-purpose yards and five touchdowns in a win over Missouri State earlier this season. He hasn't really hurt the Gamecocks as a receiver during his career, but has broken off some nice returns.
The Gamecocks appear to have enough offense to take advantage of Murray State's defensive shortcomings and get a boost with senior guard Taylor Johnstone's return from a four-game NCAA absence. The question becomes can they continue coming up big on defense to hold off the Racers' potentially explosive offense. The bet here is they should find a way in what promises to be an entertaining game. ... Jacksonville State 36, Murray State 27.

This is an open letter from the editor of TvNewsLIES.org to Rory O'Connor in response to his interview with the CBS News Chief Sean McManus. The interview can be read here:
I hope you remember me. I am the editor of TvNewsLIES.org. We met at one of Danny Schecter's C-SPAN interviews and then again at his office in NY. We had discussed possible collaborations at the time.
I just read your interview with the CBS news chief and I have one thing to say…I am stunned. I am absolutely stunned that you had face time with this person and those are the questions you chose to ask.
America has never been led down a more dangerous path by our news media. The levels of deception and information omission by our corporate news media have never been greater while the level of distraction, (i.e. Laci Peterson and missing hikers) has never been more prevalent and you use this valuable opportunity to confront one of the criminals in chief to ask questions as if you were a high school kid doing his first interview with your principal. After 2 paragraphs I was expecting you to ask him about his favorite color.
Opportunities Passed (I would have said missed but by all appearances you did not miss anything…you knew exactly what you were doing…and not doing):
You could have asked him why six years into a PNAC driven global war on terror, war on civil rights and war on the US Constitution no mention of PNAC has been made on CBS, not even on 60 Minutes.
You could have asked him why CBS News broadcasts have not informed the public about the fact that 7 of the so called 9/11 hijackers are still alive or about the hundreds of other contradictions between the official story of 9/11 and the official body of evidence.
You could have asked him if he thought PNAC's published desire for a "new Pearl Harbor" represents a reasonable and valid concern about who had motives while also having the means and opportunity to conduct the attacks of 9/11 and if he thought it was too far fetched to think that it is just coincidence that the US would have our first new Pearl Harbor in sixty years when men who wrote about the the benefits of having one just happen to be in positions to prevent, permit or conduct the events of 9/11, our new Pearl Harbor!
You could have asked him why CBS has not highlighted the ten thousand six hundred scientists, scientific researchers and Nobel laureates who signed a petition condemning the the Bush administration for political interference; thus endangering our health and life on Earth.
You could have asked him why the entire news media and political apparatus of our nation are incestuously intertwined with secretive organizations like the Council on Foreign Relations.
You could have asked him why there has never been a single news report informing the public that the Federal Reserve Bank is not part of the government and is a private, for profit corporation that appears to completely control our monetary policy, recessions, inflations and economic collapses while it answers to no US government body including Congress or the executive branch.
Instead you chose to ask questions like: "Is it true you are the living reincarnation of Roone Arledge?", "You'll make more money this year?" and "Are you looking at new potential revenue sources?"
Need I say more?
Rory, I could go on and on but you get the point. I met you several times and I thought you were one of us: members of the reality based world who care about our nation and global community. Your close ties with one of the people I respected most, Danny Schecter, served as stamp of approval for you in my book.
By virtue of your close ties with Danny, after reading your interview I also question Danny's legitimacy as a media watchdog. I also don't know with whom I should be more angry, the head of CBS News who, because of his position as a leader of a corporate news entity, is an enemy of all American citizens, or with you; a person who had the chance to confront the enemy and instead played along with him and helped to legitimize him.
A very stunned and disappointed - make that angry,
Jesse Richard - Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

- Health Notes
Vitamin B-ComplexVitamin B-Complex
- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount WhyWound Healing Follow label directions [3 stars]Thiamine (vitamin B1), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), and other B vitamins have all been shown to play a role in wound healing. For this reason, some healthcare practitioners recommend a high-potency B vitamin supplement to promote wound healing.Canker Sores 300 mg B1 daily, 20 mg B2 daily, 150 mg B6 daily [2 stars]People with recurrent canker sores may have a B vitamin deficiency. Supplementing with vitamins B1, B2, and B6 has been reported to provide relief.Acne Rosacea Refer to label instructions [1 star]The relationship between B vitamins and rosacea is unclear, one study found it caused rocacea-like symptoms, other preliminary reports have found benefits.Alcohol Withdrawal Refer to label instructions [1 star]Research suggests it is possible that successful treatment of B-complex vitamin deficiencies may actually reduce alcohol cravings, because animals crave alcohol when fed a B-complex-deficient diet.Anxiety Refer to label instructions [1 star]Double-blind research suggests that supplementing with vitamin B-complex multivitamin may reduce feelings of anxiety, perceived stress, and tiredness.Athletic Performance Refer to label instructions [1 star]B-complex vitamins are needed to produce energy from carbohydrates. Exercisers may have slightly increased requirements for some of the B vitamins, including vitamins B2, B6, and B5, athletic performance can suffer if these slightly increased needs are not met.Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder Refer to label instructions [1 star]B vitamins have been used for ADHD. High amounts of B vitamins have shown mixed results in relieving ADHD symptoms.Hives Refer to label instructions [1 star]In one study, treatment with a hydrochloric acid supplement and a vitamin B-complex supplement helped to treat people with hives.Indigestion, Heartburn, and Low Stomach Acidity Refer to label instructions [1 star]People with achlorhydria (no stomach acid) or hypochlorhydria may not metabolize B vitamins properly, putting them at risk of developing various nutritional deficiencies, which could presumably contribute to the development of a wide range of health problems.Indigestion, Heartburn, and Low Stomach Acidity, and Vitamin B12 Deficiency Refer to label instructions [1 star]For people who have inadequate absorption of vitamin B12 due to low stomach acid, supplementing with vitamin B complex can help correct a deficiency.Osteoporosis Refer to label instructions [1 star]In one trial postmenopausal women who combined hormone replacement therapy with B vitamins and other nutrients and dietary changes increased their bone density by a remarkable 11%.Premenstrual Syndrome Refer to label instructions [1 star]Research has linked B vitamin deficiencies to PMS, so some women may benefit from supplementing with B-complex vitamins for symptom relief.Tardive Dyskinesia Refer to label instructions [1 star]In some studies, taking vitamin B-complex along with other nutrients appeared to prevent the development of tardive dyskinesia.Vitiligo Refer to label instructions [1 star]PABA, a compound commonly found in B-complex vitamins, has been shown to repigment skin affected by vitiligo.
The vitamin B-complex refers to all of the known essential water-soluble vitamins except for vitamin C. These include thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), biotin, folic acid and the cobalamins (vitamin B12).
"Vitamin B" was once thought to be a single nutrient . Researchers later discovered these extracts contained several vitamins, which were given distinguishing numbers, leading many people to the erroneous conclusion that these vitamins have a special relationship to each other. Further adding to confusion has been the "unofficial" designation of other, non-essential vitamins, as members of the B-complex, such as choline, inositol, and para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA).
Each member of the B-complex has a unique structure and performs unique functions in the human body. Vitamins B1, B2, B3, and biotin participate in different aspects of energy production, vitamin B6 is essential for amino acid metabolism, and vitamin B12 and folic acid facilitate steps required for cell division.
Each of these vitamins has many additional functions, though none that require all B-complex vitamins simultaneously. Human requirements for each B vitamin vary considerably-from 3 mcg per day for vitamin B12 to 18 mg per day for vitamin B3 in adult males, for example. So, taking equal amounts of each one-as provided in many B-complex supplements-makes little sense. Megadoses of B-complex vitamins sometimes taken to combat everyday stress, boost energy, or control food cravings, do not appear to offer benefit unless a person is deficient in one or more of them.
Most multivitamin-mineral products contain the B-complex along with the rest of the essential vitamins and minerals. Since they are more complete than B-complex vitamins alone, multiple vitamin-mineral supplements are recommended to improve overall micronutrient intake and prevent deficiencies.

Comments about NUGENIX™ Testosterone Booster:
I'm 33, 5'11, 150lb, workout 3-4 times a week and eat clean.
I had my testosterone levels tested a few month ago and my levels were 399 (under 400 is considered low). I took 3 pills per day for about 3 months, got tested again this week and my levels are 298.
So this product has been ineffective for me and I'm just gonna stop taking it.

Comments about NUGENIX™ Testosterone Booster:
I tried two bottles of Nugenix with no noticeable difference in sex drive, energy, or muscle. The only thing it boosted was the cost of two bottles of this stuff from my wallet.

I have been using this product on and off for 8 months and when used with an excersize programm I found it did help with recovery time and muscle building but I didn't notice any difference with my sex drive. One thing, I stopped taking them for a month and when I went to take them again, the powder in the capsules had turned into a liquid goo... Anyone else had this happen. Are they still safe to take?

PARKS IMPROVEMENTS: Unadilla Township Community Park
Unadilla Township awarded $30,000 for park improvements
The Unadilla Township Community Park project is almost complete. The new walking path around the perimeter was finished last week and the pavilion will be lit up by solar lighting by October first.
These great new additions to the park were primarily funded with a $30,000 grant obtained through the DNR, with the help of Mark Pascoe and Stantec Engineering. The Township matched the grant with funding of only $7,500.
The Park and Recreation Committee's next goal is to have a playscape for kids up and running by this time next year.

Passkey International has a new tool, RoomList Express, that transfers rooming lists between meeting planners and hotels electronically.
The technology lets planners upload their rooming lists to a Web site and then maps the planner's file to the hotel reservation system, allowing the data to be imported.
The Quincy, Mass. — based company's original Passkey product lets attendees book hotel reservations online in the group block, while giving planners and hotels visibility into the bookings. But attendee self-booking is only half the picture — many organizations pass reservation data to the hotel as a rooming list rather than having attendees book themselves. Those lists have to be re-keyed — a chance for errors — and are often transferred as insecure e-mail attachments or faxes.
Approximately 500 hotels (full Passkey licensees) have the new tool.

Wireless Networking
This page gives detailed information about connecting to Baylor's wireless network called AIRBEAR WPA2.
AIRBEAR WPA2 not for Office Use
AIRBEAR WPA2 was originally deployed to cover classrooms and common areas where students may gather. It is not intended to be a substitute for the wired network connection available in all faculty and staff offices, and therefore, is not guaranteed in those areas. Wireless, as currently deployed, is less secure and connectivity is less reliable, much like a cell phone. The wireless network could also have an adverse affect on the backup process. Although faculty and staff may experience some wireless signal in their office, this is based on their proximity to a classroom or common area. ITS requests that all employees use the wired connections while in their offices to ensure better reliability, security and backups.

Recording and playing back screen activity
Xnee, Gnee, Cnee, and Pnee – these strangely named tools record and play back mouse and keyboard actions.
The Xnee tools give users the ability to record mouse movements and keystrokes, replay them on another machine, and thus repeat entries like a macro. Many Linux users developed an interest in screen recorders during the Beryl/ Compiz boom. Another option for preserving desktop results is Xnee, a tool that captures mouse clicks, movements, and key presses by sniffing communications between the X server and X client. If you replay the recorded file on another computer with Xnee, Xnee will repeat the steps.
