Plans Unveiled For Fair St. Louis
St. Louis' Burnin' Love expected to be a hot time Tuesday night
St. Louis' Burnin' Love festival at Forest Park will be held on what's expected to be the warmest day of the year so far.
The outdoor festival celebrating the Gateway City's 250th anniversary had originally been set for Friday night, Valentines Day, but had to be rescheduled because of bitter cold and icy conditions at the venue.
The event will now be held Tuesday evening at the top of Art Hill.
Festivities will include music, food, fire dancers, video presentations and a World Record attempt. More than 300 St. Louis couples plan to get engaged, or re-engaged simultaneously. There will also be special activities for the kids.
The event kicks off at 6 p.m. and caps off with fireworks at 9:15.
UPDATE: Boat House in Forest Park damaged by fire
An iconic structure in Forest Park will be closed for awhile.
The Boat House Restaurant caught fire Wednesday evening. St. Louis firefighters arrived to find smoke pouring from the building.
Dave Sutter of the St. Louis Fire Department says the one alarm fire was located in the roof of the building. Fire officials say it may have started near the fire place which had been burning since 10:00 a.m.
No patrons were in the Forest Park eatery when the fire broke out, and the ten employees inside all made it out safely.
The roof was seriously damaged, but its believe the building can be repaired.
It's official: Fair St. Louis 2014 will be at Forest Park
Next summer's Fair St. Louis will be held at Forest Park. The Fair Saint Louis Foundation and St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay made the official announcement Wednesday evening at the Art Museum.
The 34th annual festival will be centered on Art Hill on July 3, 4 and 5. The 137th Veiled Prophet Parade will march through Forest Park instead of downtown St. Louis.
That's because the $380 million renovation of the Arch grounds won't be finished in time. It could be done in time for the 2015 fair, but that decision won't be made until late next year.
The 2014 event will include the traditional air show, concerts, fireworks and a Kids Zone, with the main stage at the foot of Art Hill near the Grand Basin. And Fair officials are promising several new elements that will be unveiled early next year.
Mounted Police return to Forest Park
Four years after the discovery of lead paint forced closure of the St. Louis Mounted Police stables in Forest Park, the stables are open once again. The stables were closed for remediation in 2009. Lt. Carlos Ross says three police officers and one park ranger are certified to ride six horses, but he is seeking to increase those numbers. The St. Louis Mounted Police Unit dates to 1867. The unit disbanded in 1948 but was re-established in 1970.
Forest Park stable again home to mounted patrols, horses
The St. Louis Police mounted patrol horses are back in Forest Park full time.
The horses had moved out of their stables at the park after lead paint contamination became an issue in 2009. Since then, the horses were kept at a private farm, makeshift stables at other parks and recreation buildings according to a report in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
But a million-dollars in donations to Forest Park Forever made repairs at the old stables possible. The stable is now home to the unit's four horses and to two park ranger horses.
Charges filed in fatal Forest Park shooting
Charges have been filed against two men after an attempted holdup in Forest Park Monday night led to a fatal shooting. The St. Louis Circuit Attorney's office has filed second-degree murder and armed robbery charges against Joshua Hunter and Jamaal Robinson. Both are 20 years old. Hunter and Robinson were with 18 year old Antonio Nash Monday night when they approached a man and his female friend who were jogging near the Grand Basin at about 11:15. The man happened to be an off-duty St. Charles County sheriff's deputy. After being threatened and seeing that the suspects were armed, the deputy used his service weapon to shoot all three robbers. Nash died from his wounds and Hunter and Robinson are hospitalized. The joggers were not injured. A St. Louis homicide investigation continues and an internal investigation by the St. Charles County Sheriff's Department will be conducted when the St. Louis police have completed their inquiries. Police say the deputy appeared to be justified in using lethal force. He has been placed on paid administrative leave.
Thieves break into dozens of cars near LouFest
More than two dozens vehicles were broken into near LouFest over the weekend.
Police say thieves targeted a total of 29 vehicles on Sunday. Most of the vehicles were parked in the 5100 block of Clayton. Owners reported various electronics were taken. Police say the thefts occurred in the evening, with the majority concentrated between 9 and 10 PM.
The musical festival was held in the park on Saturday and Sunday.
Two Forest Park venues reporting attendance up
"Remarkable." That's what the Muny's executive producer Mike Isaacson had to say about attendance this season. It was up 9% over last yea, well over the 5% boost Muny executives had hped for, according to a report in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Including free tickets and community outreach, a total of over 383,000 people took in a show this year. That is the highest number in six years.
The most popular shows, Mary Poppins and Shrek. It was the first appearance at the Muny for both of the family-friendly shows.
And the Muny Opera isn't the only entertainment venue in Forest Park that's celebrating its popularity. The St. Louis Zoo has broken another record.
Officials say the zoo has nearly 53,000 members as of July 31. That is an 11% increase of the same time last year and represents a 20% increase over the past five years.
The zoo was also happy to announce that they have 1,000 members who paid at least $1,000.
Muny's 2013 season opens with "Spamalot" tonight; new cooling fans debut
Actor John O'Hurley will star in tonight's first show of the Muny's 95th Season featuring Monty Python's Spamalot. John is best known as "J. Peterman" on Seinfeld.
When the curtain goes up on the 2013 season at 8:15 each night, theatre-goers will be treated to something new...cooler, quieter fans that were installed during the off-season.
The Muny's seven-show season runs through mid-August and like last year patrons can take the Muny Trolley between the Forest Park-DeBaliviere MetroLink Station and The Muny, They are offered on 20-minute intervals from 7:22 p.m. to 8:02 pm. before the show and for two trips or more if necessary, to the station after the performance ends. The cost is $2 for adults and $1 for children ages 5 to 12.
During the day, the #3 Forest Park Trolley conveniently connects area residents and tourists to all of the Forest Park attractions and the Forest Park-DeBaliviere MetroLink Station. For $2 for adults, $1 for children 5 to 12, and $1 for seniors 65 and older and disabled customers (with a valid Metro Reduced Fare Permit), visitors can ride the #3 Forest Park Trolley all day from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Labor Day. Visitors don't have to worry about driving in traffic congestion in the park, finding parking or moving their cars as they enjoy more than one attraction in the park by hopping on and off the Trolley. The #3 Forest Park Trolley conveniently drops off and picks up passengers at the front door of the park attractions.
Customers purchase tickets aboard the Trolley bus and the ticket is valid for unlimited rides on a single day on this #3 Forest Park Trolley route only. All Metro tickets, passes and transfers are accepted on the route as well. The Trolley runs every 20 minutes. A schedule and map of the route for the #3 Forest Park Trolley is posted on Metro's website at www.metrostlouis.org. Customers can also call Metro Transit Information at 314-231-2345 or 618-271-2345 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday for more information.
The Forest Park Trolley service is a partnership between Metro and Forest Park Forever and its Park Partners: Saint Louis Art Museum, Missouri History Museum, Saint Louis Science Center, and Saint Louis Zoo.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) - The Seattle Seahawks finally won a road playoff game Sunday, taking a 24-14 NFC wild-card victory over the Washington Redskins, who lost Robert Griffin III to another knee injury in the fourth quarter.
Marshawn Lynch ran for 131 yards, and Russell Wilson completed 15 of 26 passes for 187 yards and ran eight times for 67 yards for the Seahawks, who broke an eight-game postseason losing streak away from home.
Seattle will visit the top-seeded Atlanta Falcons next Sunday.
Lynch's 27-yard run with 7:08 remaining gave the Seahawks (12-5) the lead. On Washington's next series, Griffin reinjured the right knee he sprained about a month ago while trying to field a bad shotgun snap.
The knee buckled badly, and the Seahawks recovered the fumble and kicked an insurance field goal.
Kirk Cousins replaced Griffin, but Washington (10-7) was unable to come back.

Words of Sympathy

Confessions of Former Shopaholics
How two people's shopping addiction jeopardized their relationships and finances.
Overflowing closets, jewelry boxes stacked one on top of the other, unopened shopping bags scattered throughout the house—these are all telltale signs of a person with a shopping addiction. Just as gamblers can't resist a trip to the casino, those with a shopping compulsion cannot stop themselves from frequenting the mall or visiting the websites of their favorite stores. Although the addictions are significantly different, gamblers and shopaholics both surrender to a vice that can tear their finances apart. The temptation to swipe one credit card after another is hard to dispel, despite the destruction a shopping spree leaves in its path.
Approximately 2 to 5 percent of Americans have a shopping addiction. For many, the consequences are devastating: More than 1 in 20 Americans have a shopping habit that jeopardizes their relationships or careers, according to a study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry.
A number of misconceptions surround shopping addiction. Despite popular belief, the Internet hasn't completely revolutionized the way so-called "shopaholics" operate, according to Donald Black, a psychiatrist and professor of psychiatry at the University of Iowa who studies impulse-control disorders. Even though the Web has made retailers accessible at one's fingertips, shopping online doesn't provide the same sensory experience as a brick-and-mortar store. "One of the things compulsive shoppers will tell you is they really enjoy the shopping experience, and I'm not sure that Internet shopping provides them with the sensual pleasures they're looking for," he says. "They like the sounds, the smells, the feel of fabrics—you can't have that shopping online."
In addition to varying shopping methods, not everyone with a shopping addiction has their finances fall apart, since some possess the financial resources to support their spending habits. However, the majority of compulsive shoppers exhibit habits that have damaging effects on their personal lives. For instance, mothers may be hitting the mall when they should be taking care of their children, or people go shopping rather than socialize and eventually lose friends.
[See: 10 Signs You Shop Too Much.]
Much of America's growing number of shopping addicts is a result of Western civilization, says April Lane Benson, author of I Shop, Therefore I Am: Compulsive Buying and the Search for Self. "Consumption fuels our economy. Materialism is rampant. We think that if you can't buy happiness, you just don't know where to shop," she says. Some onlookers admire compulsive shoppers' ability to spend a lot of money, which can encourage them even more. "A lot of times, it's a smiled-upon addiction," Benson says.
Because of the way society enables their addiction, compulsive shoppers often rationalize their habits. Some think they simply have good taste, which warrants their need to keep up with the latest trends. Others falsely believe they have the assets to support their hobby. Many times, they are overlooking the root of their addiction: emotions that may include loneliness, boredom, depression, or the desire to feel empowerment.
Another energizer is the high some shoppers feel at the point of sale. But the rush is only temporary, Black says. Once they go home and see how much they've spent, the euphoria usually disappears. This can lead people to feel "buyer's remorse." Many hide the items—in the trunk of their car, in the attic, in the storage room—to conceal their shopping addiction. "They know what they're doing is wrong and obsessive, and they're either ashamed or embarrassed by it," says Black, "otherwise, why would they hide it?" In some extreme cases, people purchase a bunch of items, suffer from buyer's remorse and return the products, only to come back later to buy them again. Benson calls them "returnaholics."
According to Benson, shopaholics can never get enough of things they want but don't need. Consequently, she says compulsive shoppers need to figure out what it is they're really shopping for; For most shopping addicts, she says it's never the items in their cart.

TSome of the owners on site were not happy.he room is sparse. The building where the office is has a pet friendly designation but not the condos. We showed up with our dog.This condo has been put up as a rental by the condo association. The furniture is just okay and somewhat unmatched. Although there is a full kitchen, there is no table and chairs for meals. We had to ask for a second chair and make use of the desk and chair as a dining table. The chair we were brought was unbalanced and scary. Housekeeping was spotty. Some days we got towels and some days not. We had to ask for a broom to sweep up sand from the beach.

The side door was open, I was told when I checked in that it doesn't lock just kick it. My room key didn't work. (this is after I told them three times that I'd be staying two nights) Returned to the first floor to find the phone in the hall rings to the front desk...oh wait there's no one there! The phone outside was disconnected. There was no number on the front sign, window, etc. to call. Other people were outside also trying to figure out how to call the manager. I found a scratch piece of paper with a number of a hotel, which fortunately was the correct hotel. The manager answered and met us at our room in her pajamas.

The science of policing

Not too long ago, new police recruits were told when to show up for work and assigned to a beat, often with little more than a few hours training. Most had to buy their own weapons and if evidence was collected at all, it was as an afterthought and with little accountability.
But as science progressed, so did policing. Evidence collection, processing and analysis grew more focused and exacting. Researchers delved into the mysterious workings of the mind, found ground-breaking new ways to identify criminals and victims and made the streets safer for the officers who patrolled them.
Join us below as LET celebrates a few of the many scientists whose works have contributed to the success of modern policing.
An accidental discovery continues to save lives
Chemist Stephanie Kwolek's curiosity and a willingness to see things through became a lifesaver for thousands of police officers, service members and firefighters the world over.
The young DuPont chemist had been experimenting in her research laboratory, searching for a new method in which to manufacture fibers and polymers (large molecules, which occur either synthetically or naturally, that are comprised of simple repetitive units). She and other researchers had been asked to find high-performance fibers that could reinforce rubber tires and make them more durable.
Kwolek's experiments led her to discover an odd opalescent substance that, she has said, most chemists would have discarded, but she thought there might be something to this new chemical compound she'd found. Kwolek asked that it be tested by another part of the lab, which specialized in spinning the liquids to measure, among other things, their strength and stiffness. Although rebuffed several times, Kwolek persisted until they spun the substance and the numbers were surprising. Kwolek retested the substance several times before taking her find to her bosses. Her discovery launched a new field of study in polymer chemistry.
The consumers that DuPont initially targeted—tire companies—weren't terribly interested in the new substance because using it meant they'd have to retrofit their production lines. However in 1971 DuPont introduced its find as Kevlar. Today, Kevlar has dozens of applications: It is used in bicycle tires and other sporting equipment, in musical instruments such as the reeds on woodwinds and as drumheads, to construct ropes, brakes, hoses, and even as a substitute for Teflon in some frying pans.
But its most significant application turned out to be as a component of protective gear for emergency responders. In addition to vests and gloves for police, Kevlar is also employed in turnout gear for firefighters and became widely used by the U.S. Armed Forces to make facemasks, helmets and armored vehicles.
Kevlar, which even its discoverer admits fought the odds to make it into production, ended up as the catalyst for saving the lives of countless men and women, both on battlefields as well as on the mean streets of the world's cities.
Identification right at their fingertips
Crime fighters had long been searching for an infallible method with which to identify criminals. In the 1870s, a French scientist named Alphonse Bertillon formulated a system for classifying habitual criminals by measuring certain human bones and keeping meticulous records of those measurements. The problem with Bertillon's system—which was used worldwide—was that it was cumbersome. Agencies that employed it had to keep extensive records and the measuring process itself was time intensive.
The Bertillon method remained in vogue for decades, but proved its fallibility in a case involving identical twins with the same aggregate bone measurements. The world's criminology community still lacked a foolproof method for determining criminals' identities until a British physician stepped up to the plate.

Cornell College Scholarships & Grants
Cornell College offers an attractive merit scholarship program. Many of our students earn academic scholarships, ranging in value from $10,000 to full tuition. Fine arts scholarships and awards range in value from $2,000 to full tuition, and are awarded to students regardless of major.
We also offer awards to transfer students and we connect students with a wide range of outside scholarships.
General scholarship guidelines
All students admitted to Cornell are eligible for Cornell scholarships. Scholarship recipients often qualify for additional need-based financial assistance, including grants, work-study programs and loans. Scholarships are renewable annually if you make satisfactory academic progress, with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0.
Decisions and notification
Scholarship decisions will be based on your overall attractiveness as a candidate for admission and on the date you submitted your application. You are not guaranteed an award simply by satisfying the eligibility criteria associated with a particular scholarship, and in some cases you may be offered a scholarship at a higher or lower level than your eligibility would indicate. You may be awarded a combination of a Cornell scholarship and award, though the award will be limited in value to $4,000 or less.
Academic scholarship notifications are made at the time of admission. Fine arts scholarships notifications are made once all required materials have been reviewed.
Applications and additional information
- Academic scholarships
- Fine arts scholarships
- Scholarships for transfer students
- Outside scholarships
Cornell Grant
The Cornell Grant is a renewable grant that is awarded to students based on demonstrated need. If a student's financial need stays similar from year to year, they can expect the grant to be re-awarded. If a student's financial need changes in future years, the value of the grant may be adjusted.
CSA Grant
The CSA Grant is a grant that is awarded to students not based on financial need. Students may expect to have their CSA grant renewed at the same value each year up to three additional years.

VMware Plans Virtualization for Mobile Phones
The virtualization specialist adopted the know-how for the product through its acquisition of Trango Virtual Processors
The virtualization specialist adopted the know-how for the product through its acquisition of Trango Virtual Processors. VMware predicts that the coupling of hardware and applications in one thin software layers means handset manufacturers can produce their devices more quickly. For users, the benefit would be combining private and business usage as separate personalities into one handset, thereby reducing the need for multiple devices.
VMware MVP itself supports among other operating systems Windows CE 5.0 and 6.0, Linux 2.6.x, Symbian 9.x, eCos, µITRON NORTi and µC/OS-II.
According to Gartner Group's Monica Basso, VMware seems to have hit the mark with its product, calling it a "very promising and potentially fast emerging market." She predicts that more than half the smart phones shipped in 2012 will be virtualized.

I cant completely recall receiving this item but if it's the one I'm thinking of I didn't like the scent of it. It was hydrating, but scent would keep me from buying.
Great moisturizer. Nice big bottle, absorbs quickly, no scent. I'd definitely buy this again. Also, one of the least expensive options on this site.
Had this in a sample a couple months ago and really liked it. Has a great subtle scent to it. I don't use this as a face moisturizer, but it works great as a body moisturizer. The size of product and price are great value, so I'd highly recommend it for anyone looking for a good standard moisturizer!
I like to call this stuff man lotion because that's exactly what it is, no smell and its thick enough to get a nice coat on your skin with a small amount. Best to use when you step out the shower and your body is a little damp...great product
My daily go-to moisturizer is Kiehl's Original Musk Body Lotion, but I am frequently required to show up "fragrance neutral," and Kiehl's discontinued the unscented version of their product, and while I love their Creme de Corps, I was blown away by Tall Drink. It is exactly the weight and moisture balance I like best, feels fantastic after my shower and is absolutely fragrance free. This is one of those monthly box samples that lasted long enough for me to really fall in love with.
I really hate lotions that leave me feeling slick. This product is great. It stops my dry skin from flaking but doesn't leave a shine or an oil slick.
Wasn't ever much a "hydrator", but I like this. I notice a difference in my skin. Do not notice a musky smell others have reviewed.
Excellent product, absorbs quickly and doesn't leave and greasy film behind. Scent is clean, simple and doesnt compete with your cologne. Get two, one for home one for the gym bag
I found this moisturizer to be very effective, much more so than I was expecting. It's nice and thin in its density, so you're not smearing some thick streaky stuff all over your body. Absorbs quickly, leaves a nice matte finish, and doesn't take much to get the desired effect. Also a good value for its efficacy, price, and quantity.
All I can say is I am not a fan of hydration products because they tend to lube you up and dry you out. However, I will be purchasing a full size! Well made hydrator !

Welcome! NYIT-Vancouver offers the following degree programs:
Please see Academic Programs or Frequently Asked Questions to learn more about these programs.
Vancouver is a lively, scenic coastal city surrounded by the great outdoors of British Columbia. The NYIT campus lies in the cosmopolitan downtown area, near financial and shopping districts as well as cultural venues, and it is easily accessible.
"The M.B.A. at the NYIT-Vancouver campus has given me the knowledge and skills to pursue work in international business fields, providing me with a competitive edge over my peers. The program also provides a great opportunity to study globally. When I decided to transfer from the Vancouver campus to NYIT's campus in New York, the staff at Vancouver gave me great guidance and support. The staff and faculty are very helpful and insightful, and were always there for me. Thank you!"
- Neel Shah
NYIT M.B.A. student
About the M.B.A. program in your language:
Plans are underway for the NYIT-Vancouver graduation ceremony and luncheon on Friday, May 30 ...
New York Institute of Technology's Vancouver Campus is pleased to announce these new master's degree program opportunities in some of the hottest industries around the world:
Master of Science in Information, Network, and Computer Security
We have received approval from the Minister of Advanced Education of British Columbia for our proposal to offer a Master of Science in Information, Network, and Computer Security (M.S.-INCS). This new master's degree in the field of cyber Security is a cutting-edge program designed to prepare students for leadership positions in addressing a major challenge faced by modern organizations. The M.S.-INCS will be ideally suited for graduates of baccalaureate programs in computer science, engineering, operations research, mathematics, and related areas. The program is a two-year program (although particularly strong, well-prepared, and hard-working students could complete the requirements more quickly). We will be taking applications starting in September 2013 for a planned program start-up in January 2014.
Master of Business Administration with concentration in Finance or Tourism.
The highly sought-after M.B.A. has been the flagship program of NYIT-Vancouver for over a decade. We now have approval from the Minister of Advanced Education of British Columbia to add two optional concentrations to our already valuable M.B.A. NYIT M.B.A. students now have the opportunity to concentrate in one of these areas and receive either an M.B.A. (Finance) or an M.B.A. (Tourism). Each concentration is achieved by replacing the three elective courses (nine credits) with five courses (15 credits) specified for the concentration, extending the program by two courses (six credits).
All of the above are approved by Citizenship and Immigration Canada. (See http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/institutions/participants.asp) and recognized by the Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials (See http://www.cicic.ca/687/postsec.canada?id_postsec=2113).
Friends, family, and faculty honored 24 graduates of the Class of 2013 at NYIT-Vancouver's twelfth graduation ceremony and luncheon held at VanDusen Botanical Garden on May 31. Attendees included NYIT Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Rahmat A. Shoureshi, Ph.D., who conferred M.B.A. degrees on the graduates. The student speaker was Eros Tuladhar. Read more.

Toilet sweating is almost always caused by the toilet leaking water from the tank into the bowl and down the drain. Dye test the toiet by putting some food coloring in the tank to see if it leaks into the bowl without flushing the toilet.
If the sweating is not visible on the tank and sides of the bowl and trapway, and the dye test is negatve then the toiet probably needs to be reset.

"Malarky is one of the bravest, most blackly funny novels I've read in a long time."
– Dan Wells of Biblioasis
Download Here:
Dan Wells (Biblioasis) & Anakana Schofield (b4b – s2.e3)
May 10th
Maurice Sendak died last week. His newest book, Bumble-Ardy, is the story of a pig who has never had a birthday party, but, at his ninth birthday, his Aunt Adeline allows him to go hog wild… (!?). And did you read Dave Eggers' The Wild Things? No? Well, it really fleshes out the story of Max and his visit to where the wild things are. RIP, Maurice Sendak.
And what about the Toronto Comic Arts Festival? Can you possibly offer any real excuse for missing such a mind blowing line up of guests and tablers? Seth, Marc Bell, Chester Brown, Kate Beaton, Jeff Smith, Bryan Lee O'Malley….
Features: Dan Wells & Anakana Schofield
Dan Wells is the publisher and editor of Biblioasis, a small press based in Emeryville, On. They publish "beautifully crafted" editions of literary fiction, poetry, essays, and works in translation. Sometimes, if you catch Dan at a festival or special event, you might even get yer mitts on his handbound, limited edition books. Dan joins us in "fighting form" after a night of fundraising in T.O. to talk about his new batch of books. He says, "this season may be our strongest yet, in terms of literary merit, across the board." And he segues to Anakana Schofield, calling her novel Malarky, "a tale of an Irish farm wife, turned sexual outlaw."
Anakana Schofield is an Irish-Canadian writer living in Vancouver who is perhaps more comfortable as a reviewer for the Times Literary Supplement than as a novelist. And yet her first book, Malarky, is making waves. We talk to her about creating characters, facing madness, double widowhood, finding inspiration in the street and the workplace.

"I used this card as a joint christmas card and birth announcement and it was perfect! I included birth announcement on the front of the card and than a christmas greeting on the back. The card is beautiful and exactly what I was looking for."
"Everyone in my family absolutely loved receiving this birth announcement. It is such a sweet design, the paper is obviously high quality and the printing was flawless. My mother-in-law loved it so much, she asked for a few more copies to hand out.....I had to order more :)"
"I was very pleased with this card. I paid extra for the edges to be rounded and I am glad that I did. It gave the card a softer appearance. I used black and white photos and thought it was a great balance. Great purchase to announce the arrival of our sweet baby girl."
"The design was beautiful, very crisp and easily coupled with the selected font. I enjoyed this project very much. I would have written more on the front, as the brightly printed back doesn't allow for any handwriting once you are mailing. Overall very happy with product."
"We ordered 100 pearl shimmer (Blessed) announcements for our little guy and you cannot imagine the compliments we received on them. They were beautiful, excellent quality and overall a great product. The only complaint I would have was the envelopes didn't seem to have a good quality glue on the seal so I put a piece of tape on everyone. They probably would have been ok but I just worried."

1-800-LeafGuard(724) 602-4282
LeafGuard of Pittsburgh is proud to be the only gutter installer in the greater Pittsburgh area to install and service LeafGuard Brand gutters.
LeafGuard Brand by Englert is the original and only one-piece, seamless, gutter system, with a built-in hood that covers the gutter bottom and deflects leaves and other debris. The hood is not an add-on, but an integral part of the gutter itself. LeafGuard keeps rainwater running freely and safely away from your home – each and every time it rains.
LeafGuard Brand gutters are guaranteed not to clog. With LeafGuard gutters on your home, you can forget about climbing ladders to remove leaves, pine needles, acorns and other debris that can collect in an open gutter and cause leaks, clogs and overflowing.
With a LeafGuard gutter system, rainwater will always flow freely to your downspouts. Here's why: LeafGuard gutters are roll-formed, at your home, out of heavy gauge aluminum into a patented one-piece seamless system. Rainwater flows around the hood and drops into the gutter bottom. Leaves and other debris are shed to the ground below.
Don't be fooled by imitators that call themselves "leaf guard" or advertise their products as "leaf guards". LeafGuard® is the only, patented, one-piece, seamless, debris-shedding, covered gutter system in America, and it is only available to you through LeafGuard of Pittsburgh in the counties of Lawrence, Butler, Beaver, Allegheny, Westmoreland, Washington, Greene, Fayette, Clarion, Armstrong, Indiana, and Monogalia (WV).
