FCPS Delivers Strong Economic Value

BOE to Hear BEACON Report, Public Welcome
The Board of Education of Frederick County anticipates good news at its regular 6 p.m. meeting on Wednesday, March 25 when the agenda includes learning about the economic value of the county's public school system. The public is welcome to hear how Salisbury University's Business Economic and Community Outreach Network (BEACON) analyzed the economic, employment and fiscal impacts of Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS).
The study examined the value of FCPS diplomas and other degrees earned, the impact on local wealth and the value of reduced future public costs. The report focused on four major categories of economic value. The categories are benefits from FCPS operations, value of diplomas and degrees awarded, economic development impacts and reduction in public costs.
Analysis of economic and employment benefits from FCPS operations, the first category, includes the impact of dollars spent on salaries and local-vendor supplies and services. This direct spending that stays within the county creates a "multiplier" or "trickle down" effect as money is re-spent in the local economy. The study found that every $1 FCPS spends in operational monies retained in the county results in total local spending of $1.48. Similarly every $1 of capital spending retained in the county results in total local spending of $1.61. Every $1 in capital spending retained in Maryland results in total local spending of $1.80. Every $1 million in FCPS capital spending results in 8.4 additional in-county jobs.
Examining the economic value of degrees awarded, the second category, the BEACON found that in recent years FCPS has annually graduated students who will realize additional lifetime earnings of about $883.45 million, in estimated present value. The county income tax to be paid on the additional earnings is about $1.8 million per graduating class. Based on the improved college readiness of FCPS seniors, about $1.2 billion in additional lifetime earnings can be attributed to FCPS graduates forecasted to graduate college. The present value of county income tax on these additional earnings is about $25.45 million per graduation class.
Research into economic development impacts, the third category, indicates that additional economic activity generated by FCPS graduates who work and spend in the county positively affects property values and property tax revenues. Each graduating class is estimated to add $116 million in real property values and $1.23 million in real property tax revenues.
Finally, analysis of reduction in public costs, the fourth category, revealed that over the past five years, each FCPS graduating class was associated with about $124 million savings in public healthcare costs, over $81 million savings in future crime-related costs and over $9 million in future welfare costs.
FCPS has posted the full report online:

FCPS Recognized for Financial Transparency
Posted by
Dian Nelson
Earns Highest Possible Accolade
Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) earned the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). This is the sixth consecutive year that the school system has earned the highest form of recognition for accurate and full disclosure in governmental accounting and financial reporting.
"Every year, FCPS earns national recognition for its stewardship of taxpayer dollars. The people of Frederick County can take pride in the fact that our school system is managing its budget responsibly and transparently. Responsible financial stewardship is a hallmark of FCPS," says Leslie Pellegrino, executive director of FCPS Fiscal Services.
Pellegrino commends Budget and Finance director Robert Reilly and all FCPS Budget and Finance Department staff for their dedication and hard work throughout the year in keeping the school system's financial records in good order: "Our staff is committed to accurately handling and reporting all financial transactions. The dedication that they bring to their work on the behalf of taxpayers has resulted in this outstanding recognition. Every taxpayer in the county can be proud of their hard work. The financial accountability FCPS provides to the public and the resulting honors FCPS has received set our school system apart."
According to the GFOA--a nonprofit professional association serving about 17,500 governance finance professionals--attaining the certificate is a significant accomplishment for a government entity and its management. An impartial GFOA panel determined that the FCPS Budget and Finance Department meets "the high standards of the program including demonstrating a constructive 'spirit of full disclosure' to clearly communicate" the school system's finances.

BOE Reappoints Superintendent Alban
Posted by
Dian Nelson
The Board of Education reappointed Dr. Theresa Alban as superintendent of Frederick County Public Schools at today's meeting. Her new term will begin on July 1, 2015, and run through June 30, 2019.
"Since 2011, Dr. Alban has demonstrated exceptional leadership skills as superintendent. She has focused on boosting student achievement, building relationships with parents, families, businesses, and the wider community, and demanding excellence at every level of FCPS as an organization," said Brad Young, BOE president. "Her driving goal is to expect excellence everywhere, and she has consistently delivered on that goal."
Mr. Young noted that while Dr. Alban's new contract makes no adjustment to the superintendent's base salary, it does stipulate that the superintendent will receive annual increases equivalent to those provided to other school system employees. The Board also provided additional contributions to her retirement benefits.
Dr. Alban's tenure as superintendent has been marked by dramatic changes to the face of public education in Frederick County and throughout the state. Moving to new curricular standards, new student assessments, and a new model for teacher evaluations are among the most far-reaching changes that Dr. Alban has navigated. At the same time, she has guided FCPS through the most challenging national and local economic conditions in almost a century. In the face of all of this, Dr. Alban has proven to be a passionate advocate for students, teachers, and families and has maintained a sharp focus on the achievement of our students. At the same time, Dr. Alban has worked with the Board of Education to develop a new forward-looking strategic plan for the school system. Her work has helped to ensure the continued strength of public education in Frederick County.
Dr. Alban leads one of the larger school systems in Maryland. She directs a budget of over $500 million, responds to the needs of almost 41,000 students and their families, and manages more than 5,000 employees. It's a 24/7 job that requires enormous dedication and energy.
Her goals for the next four years include effectively implementing the school system's new strategic plan, continuing to close gaps in student achievement while increasing achievement for all students, and continuing to build strong and productive ties with families, businesses, and institutions and organizations throughout the county.
The Board appreciates Dr. Alban's ongoing commitment to the students and families of Frederick County and looks forward to her continued leadership of FCPS.

INDIAN LAND – Vera Witherspoon still can't believe she witnessed history.
Along with her son and a few cousins, the Indian Land native braved cold temperatures and massive crowds in Washington, D.C., to watch Barack Obama become the 44th president of the United States last month.
"For me to be able to be there and witness this, I never would've thought I'd be there," Witherspoon said. "I knew this day would come, but to be there and to witness this was just an awesome occasion."
Only days before, Witherspoon, 52, was at home in the Steele Hill area, which she recently moved back to after several years in Charlotte.
She began her trip to Washington on Jan. 17, flying first to New York to meet her son, Monte Witherspoon. They flew to Washington the next day. Once in the nation's capital, the two stayed with her cousin, Clarence Strain, and his wife, Ruby, who live only three blocks away from the Capitol building.
"We were in the midst of all the action," Witherspoon said. "That was very exciting."
On Jan. 19, she and her family toured the National Mall, taking in the sights and shopping for souvenirs at the hundreds of vendors stationed across the area. They ate at several restaurants and watched crews set up the inauguration stage.
On Inauguration Day, they woke up at 5:30 a.m. Adorned in Obama gear, including T-shirts and hats with his name and likeness on them, she and her family walked to the Mall for the celebration. But despite picking their spot the previous day, the crowds had already filled to capacity in that section, and they were forced to stand farther back.
"From where we were, we could see the inauguration stand, but we basically watched it all on the monitors," she said.
According to reports from the scene, there were between 1 and 2 million people watching the inauguration along with Witherspoon, most watching from the area between the Capitol, the White House and the Lincoln Memorial. Large television screens were set up around the Mall so spectators could watch the new president take the oath of office and hear the president's speech from far away.
Witherspoon remembers seeing people climbing trees near her, just trying to get a glimpse of the new president. What really impressed her, though, were the large numbers of elderly people in the crowd.
"They didn't want to miss this," Witherspoon said. "It was a historical moment."
She said it was nearly impossible for spectators to attend both the inauguration and the parade that followed, so she just stayed where she was. She and her family were even filmed cheering for the president by a film crew from MSNBC.
"There was a wonderful spirit in the air," she said. "Just to see all people of different nationalities, different ages, standing together. Everybody was just so happy. It was a wonderful, wonderful experience."
Witherspoon, who works as a marketing consultant for AT&T and is also an associate minister at El Bethel AME Zion Church, said several other members of her family also attended the inauguration.
Her brother from the Lancaster area, her sister from Atlanta and her niece and nephew all traveled to Washington as well, though they didn't have a chance to meet while there.
It was only after the celebration was over, and everyone had returned home that she spoke with them to find out how their respective trips went.
Now that she's had time to reflect on the experience, Witherspoon says she is very impressed with the president and his wife and expects he will be good for the country.
"I do have faith in Obama, that he will stay grounded and rooted and do the right thing for everybody, not just one particular race, or Democrats or Republicans, but for the whole nation," Witherspoon said.

The service, the enthusiasm of the hotel Team from the guy at the door to the girls in the bar and restaurant was outstanding. The service was of the absolute highest standard and quality. They all made our stay in Cologne a memorable one. Well done to the Hotel!! - Douglas
Great value! Isabel and Jonas were very nice and helpful. We have three young teenagers and the space was good as there were three separate rooms. A short walk to the bus/tram to get into Cologne and great grocery store is a 3minute drive. Would definitely stay here again ! - Anonymous
obsługa super - Mariusz
Overall this hotel was excellent in all aspects, I found the staff to be the best thing about the hotel. They were so friendly and helpful and really made us feel welcome. This is my most favorite hotel I have stayed in for the reason of the staff and facilities. - Ash
Nice friendly couple who speak excellent English and have a wonderful Hotel, the room was more like a small apartment with it's small but very well equipped kitchenette. Breakfast, Ahh! Breakfast! I wish we were staying for longer instead of just passing through...

Bucs, Nicks part ways
Tampa, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and guard Carl Nicks mutually agreed to part ways on Friday.
Nicks signed a five-year, $47.5 million contract with the Bucs in March 2012. The deal included $31 million guaranteed.
"I'd like to thank the Buccaneers organization for working with me as I have attempted to get myself back on the football field," Nicks said in a statement. "However, after careful consideration, I have made the decision to step away from the game. This was by no means an easy decision, but I believe that it is what is best for me and my family as well as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers."
A Pro Bowl selection in 2010 and 2011 while with New Orleans, Nicks played in just nine games with the Bucs over the past two seasons.
"I know this has been a difficult time for Carl and his family, but we respect his decision and thank him for his effort in trying to get back on the football field," Bucs general manager Jason Licht said in a statement. "Carl is a very prideful athlete and has been an elite level guard in the league. We are all disappointed that he will not be a part of this new chapter of Buccaneers football."
The 29-year-old Nicks missed the final nine games of the 2012 campaign with a toe injury that led to a MRSA infection. He had been medically cleared for training camp before both sides made the decision to move on.

Pennsylvania elects lieutenant governors in the midterm elections, that is, even years that are not Presidential election years. For Pennsylvania, 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018 are all lieutenant lieutenant gubernatorial election years. Legally, the gubernatorial inauguration is always set for the third Tuesday in the January following an election. Thus, January 18, 2011 and January 20, 2015 are inaugural days.
In the event of a tie, a joint session of the legislature shall cast ballots to choose the lieutenant governor from the two top vote getters.
If an election's outcome is contest, the members of both chambers of the legislature shall select members of the special Commission to resolve the contest.
Details of vacancy appointments are addressed under Article IV, Section 14.
The President Pro Tem of the Pennsylvania State Senate takes over as Lieutenant Governor at any point when the elected Lieutenant Governor is unable to serve.
If the Lieutenant Governor has become Governor under Section 13, then the President Pro Tem becomes the new Lieutenant Governor and vacates her own Senate seat.
If the Lieutenant Governor's disability is temporary, the President Pro Tem serves as Acting Lieutenant Governor until the disability is removed.
The lieutenant governor presides in the Pennsylvania State Senate and is first in the line of succession to the governor; in the event the governor dies, resigns, or otherwise leaves office, the lieutenant governor becomes governor.
He or she also has such responsibilities and duties as the Governor may assign.

Matt Wieters and J.J. Hardy each had three hits with two runs scored and an RBI for Baltimore, which has won four of its last six games. Chen (2-1) got the starting assignment in the opener of this three-game set and threw 6 1/3 innings. The left-hander didn't allow a hit until James Loney's one-out double in fifth and gave up only four more hits in his outing, including Evan Longoria's two-out RBI single in the sixth. It wasn't a smooth performance for Tampa Bay starter Chris Archer (1-1), who was roughed up for seven runs and 12 hits over five innings. "It is humbling. It motivates you to work harder," Archer said. The Rays fell to 3-4 on their nine-game road trip. Baltimore scored in each of the first three innings, building a 6-0 lead. A two-out single to shallow center field by Wieters scored Nelson Cruz in the first inning. The O's smacked a combined five doubles over the next two frames and three of them produced runs. Hardy doubled to open the second and was on third base when Ryan Flaherty blooped a ball over Longoria's head for an RBI single. Cruz and Davis hit consecutive two-out doubles to increase the lead to 4-0. Wieters led off third with an extra-base hit and scored on another by Hardy. Steve Lombardozzi followed with a single to plate Hardy. "A lot of big two-out hits, a lot of big RBI with guys on second," Wieters said. Flaherty added a second run-scoring single in the fifth. Game Notes The Rays were 13-6 against the O's last season ... Tampa Bay has scored three runs or less in seven of its last eight games ... Chen issued his first two walks of the season ... Archer recorded six strikeouts ... Baltimore was 6- for-13 with runners in scoring position ... Orioles right fielder Nick Markakis went 0-for-5 to snap an eight-game hitting streak. 04/15 07:35:11 ET

The BMW 7 Series is a line of full-size luxury vehicles produced by the
German automaker BMW. Introduced in 1977, it is BMW's flagship car and is
only available as a sedan or extended-length limousine. The 7 Series
traditionally introduces technologies and exterior design themes before
they trickle down to smaller sedans in BMW's lineup.[5]
A more modified version of the 7-series is the Alpina B7, made by Alpina.
The B7 has performance-focused features - aesthetic features include body
and bumper skirts, uniquely designed wheels, and a slightly modified
interior. More importantly, the Alpina B7 features a revised engine and
other performance enhancements. For example, the E65/66 (745i/Li and
750i/Li from 2003-2008) versions of the B7 featured a supercharged 4.4L V8
with 493bhp.
The 5th generation BMW F01/F02 went on sale in November 2008 and is
currently still in production. The BMW F01/ BMW F02 was the first BMW
7-series available with an 8-speed automatic transmission and BMW all-wheel
drive. It is the first BMW 7-series where all engines are turbocharged. The BMW ActiveHybrid7 was the first
7-series to use an electric motor.
The BMW front suspension is a double wishbone design, instead of the
MacPherson struts used on previous generations.
It is in this generation that BMW changed the nomenclature from E to BMW
F01, thereby making it the first BMW to have so.
Also the BMW model numbers have been changed for the new engine lineup. BMW
730d/Ld for the 3.0l inline six 258bhp diesel, BMW ActiveHybrid 7 for the
3.0l inline six 310bhp petrol hybrid, BMW 750i/Li for the 4.4l V8 473bhp
petrol, BMW 750d/Ld for the 3.0l inline six 385bhp triple turbo diesel and BMW 760Li for the 6.0l V12 544bhp
All the engines are twin turbocharged
for maximum efficiency and power. For 2014 it received BMW's new second
generaton iDrive touchpad.
In the driver's and front passenger's area, precisely defined lines and
surfaces create a sense of exclusive dynamism. The design of the instrument
panel closely complements the design of the displays themselves. The driver
is surrounded by a wrap-around cluster of three intermeshing displays,
creating the typical BMW driver-centric cockpit. The three-dimensional
display technology means that at the visual level the instrument panel
styling appears to carry over into the displays themselves. In other words,
to the eye the interior space seems to continue into the solid structures
of the instrument panel, generating an impression of unprecedented depth
and spaciousness.
The left-hand display mainly presents vehicle-related information, while in
the centre a programmable cluster displays speedometer, rev counter and
other information, as well as context-adaptive supplementary data, which is
displayed as and when relevant. Meanwhile, the right-hand display – the
Driver Information Display – provides additional infotainment
information. The driver also has the option of controlling all these
functions by voice command. Two large, deeply contoured single seats add to
the appeal, inviting passengers to retire into their own personal
"comfort zone". A retractable table, the angled Rear Seat Displays and
the rigid backs of the front seats create a very private ambience,
sectioning this area off from the rest of the interior. The sense of
privacy is accentuated by modern, flowing geometry and the use of select
materials, with lavish wood surfaces extending from the rear parcel shelf
to enfold the rear seat occupants in a cosseting three- dimensional space.
Strategically placed lighting slats integrated into the wood echo the
surrounding styling and, with their warm glow, accentuate the modern and
cosy ambience. Finest-quality aniline leather in Batavia brown and a
lighter Silk shade, Silk nubuk leather and the warm brown, layered lime
wood all have a natural aura which offers unique visual appeal and quality.
The division between darker materials in the upper areas and light
materials in the lower areas creates a feeling of warmth and a luxurious
sense of space.

England's top four: Games that matter in the English Premier League's last round
May 18, 2013, 10:22 AM EDT
Come Sunday there'll be 10 games, one start time, but very little meaning in the English Premier League's last match day. The relegation battles are over, with Queens Park Rangers, Reading, and FC Cup winners Wigan Athletic set to go down. The title's decided, and between Swansea City and the Latics, so are two of the Europa League spots.
All that's left, in addition to some meaningful goodbyes, is the fight for the top four, with England's final Europa League spot the consolation prize:
1. Newcastle vs. Arsenal
The Magpies, terrible over the last couple of months, won last weekend at Championship-bound QPR. Their safety means only pride's on the line for Newcastle on Sunday.
Arsenal, on the other hand, secure a Champions League spot (and potentially, third place) with a win at St. James Park. After Tuesday's 4-1 win over Wigan, the Gunners seem ready to push rival Tottenham to Europa League, even if the first hour against the Latics didn't exactly scream 'killer instinct.'
2. Tottenham Hotpur vs. Sunderland
Arsenal's result could be rendered irrelevant by what happens at White Hate Lane. If Spurs fail to win, the Gunners will finish in the top four. If, however, Arsenal trips up at Newcastle, Spurs return to Champions League with a win over the Black Cats.
It's two North London Champions League aspirants against the league's North East rivals – a pair of floudering clubs who were given a relegation reprieve by Wigan's fall. On paper, Arsenal and Spurs should win. But if there is a stumble, it will probably occur up north, giving André Villas-Boas's side a route into Champions League.
3. Chelsea vs. Everton
Only a Blues loss and huge win by Spurs (like, 15-plus goal-win) will cost Chelsea their top four spot. The more intriguing scenarios are the ones where the Blues fall to fourth.
The obvious one: if they lose and Arsenal wins, Chelsea finish behind the Gunners.
The less obvious one, one discussed earlier on the blog: The potential tie for third. If Chelsea and Everton end scoreless while Arsenal defeats Newcastle 2-1, the Blues and Gunners will finish with the same point total (73), goal difference (+35) and goals scored (73).
That would lead to a one-game playoff. The winner gets a direct route into Champions League (and third place). The loser has goes through a play-in round.

Over the years I've had a lot of tile work done but Peter hands down is the best I've seen! For Peter it's more than a business it's his passion and it's evident from the quality of his... work!! Without a doubt the next time I need a tiler I will call Peter first!VIEW MORE »VIEW LESS »
I do not think I could recommend Peter enough. To me my project seemed difficult because I needed him to cut around tiles I wanted to keep. Peter is a Surgeon. He worked with my wife while I was... on the phone to come up with ideas to make what we wanted work and I cannot thank him enough. His prices were very reasonable and worth waiting on if he has a backlog.VIEW MORE »VIEW LESS »

I would recommended Peter's Tile for your tile job without reservation. Communication with Peter was very easy. We were provided with a very clear and itemized estimate. Peter was willing to answer any easy questions that we may have had. The finished product, a retiled shower and master bath floor, was outstanding.
Peter's Tile sure lived up to their great reviews on kudzu. We have a completely new bathroom now! Agnes came out, gave us a written estimate along with how many sq ft of tile would be required. Peter showed up on the agreed on date and handled everything. Left the floors very clean. Very easy to work with....I just tried to stay out of the way. A great job with a very good price. When we are ready to redo our downstairs bathroom, Peter's tile will be getting another call.
Honest, neat, hard-working, professional, reasonably-priced� the list of adjectives to describe Peter could go on and on. Peter is truly wonderful at his craft and did an outstanding job on both projects we had him work on � a backsplash in our kitchen and renovation of our master bathroom (floors and completely new shower). His work is exquisite! Look no further for your tiling needs... Thanks Agnes & Peter! Jay & Ali Sapp
Peter is very professional and shows up on time always. His work is outstanding, and makes sure you are happy with the outcome. He was reasonably priced, not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. I wanted quality, and that is what I got with Peter's Tile. I called them because I saw other reviews on Kudzu recommending them. Will recommend them to others in the neighborhood. It is so hard to find good contractors today. Peter is one of those good finds.
Peter's tile was able to work with my schedule to get my bathroom & laundry room floors tiled in just two days. The work is high quality and they did a great job protecting my carpet and hardwood floors while Peter worked. Peter is a quiet, hard worker and will deliver quality results. Agnes is great from the estimate thru the installation in answering questions before installation begins. Their prices were the most reasonable in the area.

I strongly recommend Peter's Tile to anyone who wants a quality job from a friendly responsive gentlemen. Peter finished my bathroom this summer after another company's referral (Dauphin Tile) walked out halfway through a job, leaving their tools and taking some of my money. Peter completed the job in short notice and was able to meet my tight budget. He didn't a beautiful job and was always on time and, I'm mad at myself for not using him to begin with and for taking so long to write this review. I will use him for my next bathroom. This company is destined to grow as they focus on quality and customer service.
If you're looking to have tile work done, no need to look any further. Peter is THE BEST contractor I've ever encountered. He is professional, timely, neat, and, VERY GOOD at what he does. He completed a renovation of our bathroom shower and floor, laundry room floor, kitchen backsplash, and entry way tile. He shined in an almost artistic manner everywhere, but really knocked it out of the park in our bathroom - he took care of all the demo on our old shower and built our new shower (including reworking some plumbing) to completion. All we had to add at the end was a shower door. He respected our home, our family and did everything he could to ensure our experience with him and his work was positive. Pricing is competitive and his work is as good as it gets. If you need tile work, this is your man!
I hired Peter's tile to do mosaic glass tile on the backsplash in my kitchen. He did just a great job. It was done in a very short time and the work was excellent. Would do business again.
I contacted Peter's Tile through Kudzu after reading reviews, and I am so glad I did!!! I had a glass backsplash installed, with a bit of a complicated pattern, Peter took his time, never got flustered, and the result is Stunning, I feel like I am in a Showroom!!! Quick to resond, estimate [thanks Agnes], call back, just a wonderful experience! As others have said, Look no further, this is your tile guy! Patsy White, Smyrna
I contacted Peter�s Tile to install a backsplash. I was pleasantly surprised by the quick response, and even more so by the comprehensive and competitive estimate. Peter arrived promptly, covered the floors and countertops before beginning, and before I knew it, had completed the job, including the clean up. The backsplash is beautiful and I couldn�t be more pleased with the result! Both Peter and Agnes are very professional and it was pleasure working with them. Look no further � you�ve found your tile contractor.
I can't imagine having a better experience than I did with Peter and Agnes. From the beginning they were responsive and professional. Their prices were fair and competitive. And finally, Peter's work was simply amazing. He replaced my kitchen floor in less than 48 hours but he didn't rush through the job. He took his time, and it showed in the details. I've had my share of bad experiences with unreliable contractors in the past, so I was prepared for some headaches, but with Peter there literally were NONE. If you are looking for a tile man, look no further. I'm already dreaming up more renovation ideas so I can have him back. Thank you Peter and Agnes!

Peter did a great job retiling our master bathroom! His attention to detail and the quality of his work are incredible. He was so easy to work with and very dependable, finishing exactly when he said he would. When we remodel our other bathrooms we will definately use Peter's Tile.
I have used Kudzu on several occasions to select contractors for a variety of projects. Though I have always been pleased with the results, I have never felt compelled to post a review - until now. Peter and Agnes deserve all of the accolades they have received. They are both exceptionally professional, courteous and reliable. Agnes actually answered the phone when I called to inquire and she came out the next day to measure and provide me with an estimate. They were able to schedule my project so that it was completed within two weeks of my initial call. Peter's work is incredible. He treated my home with great care, going above and beyond to protect the carpet and other areas while he worked. He is hard working, very knowledgeable and absolutely the best at what he does. He replaced the tile in my shower and tub surround with tumbled travertine, helped me decide on the design, and my bathroom has been completely transformed. He is extremely fair in his pricing and the finished product exceeded my expectations while staying within my budget. Without me even asking, Peter even hauled away other items I had stored at the end of my driveway to be discarded. Peter and Agnes are a pleasure and I look forward to working with them again.
Peter transformed our 36 year old bathroom and shower into a masterpiece. We could not be more pleased with his work and attention to detail. He is very neat and tidy and careful with floors and furnishings. We highly recommend him.
Peter and Agnes visited my home, reviewed my problem and gave a very fair quote to tile master shower floor. Peter did an outstanding job with the new tile floor and you would never know this floor was not part of the original tile installation. Talented, timely and thorough and I highly recommend this young man for all tile related projects...Big and Small he is your man!
Peter just recently completed tiling our master bath which included the floor, ceiling and walls in the shower, the bathroom floor and the tub surround as well as the floor in our powder room. His work is flawless. Agnes was lovely to work with in getting the original estimate and Peter was professional, timely, neat and a pleasure to have in our home. Our master bathroom is beautiful! We plan to use Peter's Tile again in the near future.

Ideas for Protecting Vent Free Fireplace from Baby
We have a Temco ADF42-5 Vent Free fireplace mounted about 8 inches off the floor (no hearth) in our family room. There is only a mesh screen, no doors. I do not see glass doors as an option on the Temco (or distributors') website... which I assume is because it's a vent free fireplace and the liability of someone operating the darn thing with the doors closed would be too great...LOL.
Anyway, we don't use it much (in fact, the gas has been turned off for two years) since we live in Florida and the number of months to turn on the gas just for this (all electric home) is only two or three... not really worth it.
The fireplace is a focal point of our great room and is directly opposite the main entry/foyer, so I don't want something gaudy (like a piece of cardboard), but I also don't want something that will be easy for a soon-to-be-walking baby (toddler?) to get around. I don't want her chewing on the little briquets and moving the logs around (or even gnawing on them!). I've toyed with getting a piece of Lexan cut to fit, and seeing if I could somehow wedge it in there while still being able to take it out when/if we wanted to use it.
We looked at free-standing fireplace screens, but those just seem to be too flimsy for the strong arms of a strong-willed child. :)
Other ideas??

Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn
ARR Beta/Release Information
Just some key points from the new roadmap worth mentioning in case some of you missed it, what with the holidays and what-not~
Beta application site will open early January. A URL is not yet available.
Beta will start mid-February.
Beta will be 4 Phases long.
Phase 1 & 2 is PC only, 3 & 4 is PC/PS3.
Game servers will be physically located in Japan in Phase 1 & 2. Worldwide in 3 & 4. Worldwide play will be available in all Phases.
In between each phase will be a 1-2 week 'debug' period when the beta is unavailable.
Those eligible for the Beta are:
---FFXIV Legacy Status Holders
---FFXIV Service Account Holders (This applies to all FFXIV players, not just 'Active' ones)
---Applicants selected through the Beta Tester Application Site (You need a Square-Enix account to join in the Beta, however to apply you do not)
All Legacy status holders qualify as testers in phase 1.
Gamepads will be supported from Phase 2 on.
All FFXIV service account holders qualify as testers in phase 3.
1.0 characters will be migrated over starting in Phase 3.
Character data will be erased after Phase 1, 2, & 3.
Phase 4 will be an Open Beta (anyone can join, just need to make a Square-Enix account - don't need to be selected), "characters created during this phase will be carried over to the official release"(I'm not entirely sure if this means all character progress or just the actual character, server, name, etc.), and the NDA will be lifted.
Each Phase will last anywhere from 1-4 weeks (look at roadmap for exact estimated times). This means if all goes according to plan from the roadmap the earliest the Beta will conclude is roughly mid-April and at the latest the Beta will end is in mid-June.
There were no specifics on the timing of the official release of the actual 2.0 client as to how soon it would be available after the Open Beta (Phase 4) has ended.
<u>Objectives of the Beta:</u>
---Level Progression Rebalancing
---Battle System Rebalancing
---Crafting/Gathering Systems Rebalancing
---User Interface Refinement
---Bug Reporting and Fixing
---Version 1.0 Character Data Import Testing
---Server Stress Testing
---Benefits such as early access may be offered between the open beta and official release.
---Version 1.0 service account holders will be able to download the commercial ARR client
free of charge.
---Those wishing to play on PlayStation®3 are required to purchase a copy of the game for
that system.
---Beta/Release roadmap announcement:
---Beta Test Roadmap (Goes into detail as to what exactly they will implement, what issues they will address, and what specifically they will be testing for in each Phase):
---Letter From the Producer XL (12/27):
---For reference, the Alpha Test Information as some of the details pertain to the Beta as well:
^For example, if you were an Alpha Tester, you need not re-apply for the Beta for the PC version. If, however, you wish to apply for the PS3 Beta and the PC Beta and were a Tester, you will need to apply again when the application is available in early January. Also worth remembering is that "Participation in the Alpha Test does not guarantee selection for the Beta Test."
Hi. How ya' doin'?
Awesome. Feburary here I come.
Stop seeking salvation through beauty
Craft rebalancing eh? Hope its freakin easy and not hard meaning having to make a bunch of crap just to make 1 actual piece. Inner and outer pieces of armor to just make a chest piece, that stuff takes up space.
open beta characters carry over? dang that's nice!
thanks for posting
PSN: Vithar ~ Xbox: Vithar360

I really love this shot in black and white, just working today on website and images to sell.
thank you so much for your input it helps me see more.
Stunning image Lina. Well done.
I only enhanced just a bit the circle of light already present.. thank you so much John!!

Me too! Focus and clarity are right on! And I love the capture of light!
Oh Joanne.. I love the light here!!! thank you!

excellent work
oh my….this one truly shines….beautiful:)
Nice in B/W…
So beautiful Linaji :)
fab work x
Beautifully composed, with great light. The angle makes for a dramatic shot, and the second sailboat in the background adds much. A fav.
Wow! Stunning photo!
It is quite lovely in black and white. Give the impression that there are two suns—on above and one highlighting the people on board. I think the black and white emphases the sun sparkling on the waves.
I thought of you the other day while at the beach with my niece. There were what appeared to be sailing lessons going on and as I took pics with my little point and shoot (just because I could) I thought of the lovely images Linaji makes. It made me smile. :)

I can't believe it - Monarch cats!!
Yesterday I was out in the "xeric garden", which is the front southwest corner of my lot next to the sidewalk. It is a hot, dry garden. I'm growing some Asclepias tuberosa, a few A. curasssavica seedlings, and there is some A. syriaca common milkweed that planted itself. Last year I registered as a Monarch waystation, purchased a sign, and installed the sign in this garden. That way, people can read the sign as they pass by on the sidewalk.
I was poking around the garden, and nearly fell over when I looked down and there was a 2nd instar Monarch cat on the tip of one of the common Milkweeds!! I collected the little guy, and searched the other milkweeds in the yard. Found a 2nd little 2nd instar cat on the wild milkweed in back.
I'm about 20 miles northwest of Boston. The earliest I have seen Monarchs here is mid-July. Last year they didn't show up until mid-August. Obviously a female came through the area in the last 7-14 days! If I'd had any idea, I would have looked for more eggs/cats much sooner. :)
Congrats terrene! Wish you the best of luck. It has been a weird season so far. Like you, I never normally see an adult Monarch until August. This year, I have already raised and released 34 adults, and my milkweeds have been covered with cats.~~Angie
Thanks guys! My caterpillar raising is ramping up! 2 Monarch cats and 1 BST (who is acting very pokey and not progressing past 2nd instar).
It seems that Monarchs are in an unusual migration pattern this year. Hopefully they will be adaptable and find milkweed whereever they go! The common Milkweed in this area is big and budding, so they is plenty of food for cats. Maybe I'll have more than the usual # of Monarchs this year? X my fingers
