Winter Cover One Day Delivery. Review by Rich K
Winter cover was delivered on ONE DAY! All looks well, easy to install. I have been dealing with Doheny for over 15 years. Very satisfied.
Best Cover Review by Cliicker
I have had a pool for 12 years. I live on a very windy corner and tried everything to keep a cover tied down for the winter like milk jugs, water bags, wrapped the entire top in plastic wrap, cover clips. Nothing worked. I had to buy a new cover every year until I found this cover. On the third year now!!!
Size and mesh as advertised,recommend. Review by Matt in New England PATS!
The cover advertised 27' for 24' pool was as described. Fast shipping. Fits great. The mesh works great, had first rain fall and not one puddle on cover. The grommet is stitched in separately with mesh binder. Cover has only been on a couple weeks but already met my two requirements. I will not have to be OCD in getting water off cover before freeze occurs. All covers in past have held up to winter winds, snow etc. and I don't expect anything less from this cover. Covers never last more then a couple of years regardless of advertised warranty. That's my personal experience anyway. I have found late spring sunshine to do in most of my covers.
Great Cover Review by Bmore
I bought the Pro-Tek Cover and I couldn't be more satisfied. I love the feel and look of the cover and with the 4ft overlap it easily covered my 24' pool with extra to spare. Already with the North Carolina winds coming in, the cover has withstood the onslaught.
Thanks again
Works well Review by Drew
To me a cover is a cover, we got one before and it lasted 3 seasons, and we are in OK, where the weather and wind change all the time. Doheny's ordering and shipping is fast and easy. I cant complain

Fine coats of fur, dazzling neckwear and graceful models strutting their way across the stage – all were on display Saturday at the Washington County Fairgrounds convention hall. But there were no fashion models sashaying down a catwalk. In fact, "catwalk" probably would be a most unwelcome term. The centers of attention at the fairgrounds were competitors in the Three Rivers Shetland Sheepdog Club of Greater Pittsburgh dog show.
About 100 pampered pooches, along with their entourages of owners, breeders and handlers, performed in multiple competitions during the American Kennel Club-licensed event. Handlers entered canines in one of two categories: "independent specialty," which was specific to Shetland sheepdogs, and "all-breed," open to all AKC-recognized breeds.
"There was a big entry today," said Jennie Hynes. "A lot of dogs had won other specialties, and the number competing was just more than average and fairly large."
Hynes' dog, Scout, won "best of breed" honors in the Shetland contest in the face of some serious opposition – eight former or current champions were in the lineup.
Hynes said she drove more than seven hours from her home in Wilton, Conn., in order to enter the contest.
"There's people here from Virginia, North Carolina, Canada," Hynes said. "All kinds of places."
Hynes said the drive was well worth it.
"Usually, winning a specialty, which is specific to your breed, is more prestigious because there is more competition," Hynes said.
Cathy Artis, Three Rivers Shetland Sheepdog Club president, said contestants paid $650 apiece to enter the competition, which offered no cash purse. For these contestants, prestige is the ultimate honor.
"We've been here since 6 in the morning," Artis said. "Dog people start early."
Artis said Shetland sheepdogs, also called Shelties, are a fantastic breed. The small to medium-sized dogs are known for their hard work and enthusiasm. The breed was originally raised to herd sheep and is a descendent of other herding canines like the collie. Some speculate that when they reached the Shetland Islands off the coast of Scotland, natural selection caused the breed to miniaturize, much like the islands' famous pony.
"They're one of the most intelligent dogs in the world," Artis said. "They're ranked in the top three almost every year."
Ginny Shultz of Upper St. Clair took home the medal for the competition in obedience with her Sheltie, Hoover. She said that in a league of intelligent animals, Hoover is a sophisticated standout.
"He's been training for the past three years straight," Shultz said, "from the time he was 8 weeks old until November."
Shultz said Hoover's talent makes him a natural. But like many other gifted professionals, Hoover knows he's good.
"If you want to ask him, he'd tell you he's a prodigy," Shultz said. "He's got a ton of drive."

Castle Shannon community unites to plant trees
Castle Shannon community unites for planting project
A sunny springtime morning provided a nearly perfect backdrop for a community to get together for a good cause. On April 27, about 50 people showed up in their work clothes to plant 19 trees along several Castle Shannon streets. The project was carried out by a grant from TreeVitalize Pittsburgh, which is a joint project of Allegheny County, the City of Pittsburgh, Tree Pittsburgh, the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy.
Castle Shannon Council Vice President Michael Warhold, who is also a member of the Castle Shannon Revitalization Corporation, said the response of community members who wanted to volunteer to plant trees was "overwhelming." "We're just thrilled," he said. "Community support is what drives this project. Without community involvement, we would not have had the opportunity to receive this grant."
The volunteers, who ranged in age from 6 years old on up, were split into two teams to work on two areas in Castle Shannon. One team worked along James Street off of Willow Avenue and another team worked on planting trees along Poplar, Park and Willow avenues.
Prior to the start of the planting, volunteers received a tutorial on how to properly plant a tree from Jeff Bergman of the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, and Joe Stavish of Tree Pittsburgh. Bergman said the trees planted under the TreeVitalize program have about a 96 percent survival rate.
Bergman said so far this spring TreeVitalize has had 23 volunteer plantings around Pittsburgh. He said by the end of the season, TreeVitalize will have helped to plant 1,500 trees.
"It's a great turnout," Bergman said. "The Castle Shannon people are very organized." He added that he could tell by the way everyone was interacting with each other that Castle Shannon is a "very active community."
The trees planted weren't small – each weighed about 300 pounds. The trees planted on James Street are Kentucky Coffee trees, and are shade trees that when mature will grow to about 50 feet tall. More ornamental, showy trees that won't interfere with power lines were planted along Park and Willow avenues, including Red Bud trees and Cherry Trees. Elm trees were planted along Poplar Avenue.
"I like helping people," said 9-year-old Sarah Goldenberg, who helped plant several trees. She was especially excited about the trees with purple flowers that she helped to plant in front of her house on Park Avenue. Sarah and her 6 year-old sister, Abigail, helped plant trees along Poplar Avenue as well.
Sarah Williams, a senior at Keystone Oaks High School, said she heard about the tree planting from her biology teacher and thought it was a "cool opportunity." She, along with several other students from Keystone Oaks, helped to plant several trees. "I want to make Castle Shannon beautiful," Williams said.
After the planting, which took a little more than two hours, Debbie Gallo, director of Castle Shannon's Shade Tree Commission said she was "shocked and thrilled" by the turnout of volunteers for the planting. Both she and Warhold said they hope to make the TreeVitalize planting an annual event in Castle Shannon.

The Washington County district attorney's office executed search warrants on opposite ends of the county within a span of 16 hours beginning Thursday night and seized a large quantity of heroin and other drugs, making two arrests.
Washington County District Attorney Gene Vittone said his drug task force first arrested Christopher D. Byrd, 30, after a search late Thursday of his residence at 1321 Gilmore Ave., Donora, produced 54 bricks of heroin with a street value of $16,000, a loaded 9 mm semiautomatic handgun and $6,400. Byrd was home during the search, the affidavit indicates. The volume of heroin seized is equivalent to 2,700 stamp bags, the record shows.
Byrd, who has a criminal history that includes a drug conviction, is charged with drug possession with intent to deliver, drug possession and a firearms offense prohibiting felons from having guns. He is lodged in the Washington County jail on $200,000 bond.
Friday morning, the task force arrested Jebidia James Keiser Jr., 33, after a search launched at 7:30 a.m. under forced entry of his residence at 564 North Kings Creek Road in Hanover Township produced 27 live marijuana plants, oxycodone and hyrocodone pills and a .45-caliber handgun, Vittone said.
Once inside, detectives asked the suspect's mother, Kathy Keiser, to contact him and have him return to the home, the affidavit indicated. He allegedly confessed to growing the marijuana and smoking crack to a detective in a garage where some of the items were found, the record shows.
While searching his bedroom, detectives said they found 13 razor blades containing a white powder, three plastic bags containing white powder, 27 pipes for smoking marijuana and three crack pipes, according to the affidavit.
The raid followed an undercover sting in June in which the task force alleges it used a confidential informant to purchase an unspecified amount of cocaine from Keiser in a buy arranged over his cellphone.
Keiser is charged with marijuana possession with intent to deliver, drug possession, possession of drug paraphernalia and criminal use of a communication facility. District Judge Valarie Costanzo remanded him to the jail on $40,000 bond.
"This demonstrates the professionalism and the resolve of these police detectives with the drug task force to fight dangerous drugs everywhere they are located within Washington County," Vittone said in a news release. "I am very proud of law enforcement today."
While carrying out the Donora raid, the task force had assistance from officers with the Charleroi Regional and Carroll and East Bethlehem townships police departments, as well as representatives from the Washington County sheriff's office. Hanover police assisted in making the other bust.

District Judge Robert Wyda dies
District Judge Robert Wyda dies
Judge Robert C. Wyda, 54, the magisterial judge for Upper St. Clair and Bethel Park, died Aug. 5.
According to a representative from the Allegheny County Examiner's office, the cause of death was listed by his primary care physician as "natural due to cardiac history."
Wyda was married to his wife, Shannon, and they have two children.
Jack Allen, Bethel Park Ward 2 councilman, said he had known Wyda since he was first elected judge. He had served as district judge since 2000 with his offices in the Bethel Park Municipal Building.
"He was a good friend," Allen said of Wyda. "He was the most fair person that anyone could ever go in front of."
Allen added that Wyda had a good relationship with the Bethel Park Council. Allen, who serves on the Bethel Park Veterans Memorial Committee, said Wyda was a keynote speaker at one of the committee's events.
"He was a very proud veteran," Allen said. Wyda served in the U.S. Naval Reserves from 2003-08.
Allen was close to Wyda's family as Wyda's daughter worked at the Bethel Park Dairy Queen owned by Allen for the past three summers.
"Rob was in the store all the time," he said. Allen added that although Wyda had a history of heart-related problems, he was at a local gym all the time.
"You would never know," by looking at him that Wyda had health problems, Allen said.
"You're never going to want to meet a more genuine person," said Russell Del Re, vice president of the Upper St. Clair Board of Commissioners. "He was just a down-to-earth, fair person. He treated you like you were a friend."
He said the Board of Commissioners found out about Wyda's death during a break at the board's Aug. 5 meeting.
"It was quite a shock," Del Re said. "He's definitely going to be missed."
Rep. Tim Murphy also released a statement on Wyda's death. He said, "I'm deeply saddened to learn of Judge Robert Wyda's passing. Rob was a respected public servant, admired Navy officer, and a beloved family man. He served his family, his community and his country with honor, courage and commitment. And he did it all with a smile. I pray that his wife, Shannon, and their children find strength during this difficult time. I will miss him."
Upper St. Clair Township Manager Matthew Serakowski said he knew Wyda though business and was also personal friends with him. He said he had known Wyda since he became district judge.
"He was a wonderful man. It came as a complete shock," Serakowski said of Wyda's death.
As a judge, Serakowski said Wyda "treated everyone that came before him fairly." He said he gave everyone an opportunity to correct their mistakes.
"I have nothing but good things to say about him," he said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, Serakowski added.
Flags at both the Bethel Park and Upper St. Clair Municipal Buildings will be flown at half-mast in honor of Wyda.

A Washington High School football player with the last name of Thomas has dreams – however unrealistic they may seem at the time – of playing college football, buckles down as a senior, then earns a scholarship.
Sound familiar? It should.
First Bryan Thomas, from Wash High to Bowling Green. Now younger brother Rhamir, who found success as a linebacker this past season, his first as a starter, and as a result earned a partial scholarship to Youngstown State University.
"I would say that his story is just like mine – started taking it more serious, trying to become better, just a better football player and trying to play at the next level," said Bryan Thomas, who had 33 tackles and 3.5 sacks at defensive end for Bowling Green this past fall. "Trying to do anything you can do to do that."
While every Shai McKenzie scholarship offer brings more and more attention, Thomas' commitment was much more subtle, a choice between Youngstown State, Notre Dame (Ohio) College and California University.
"I was thinking about going there before football," Thomas said of Youngstown State. "I was going to go there for school. Then when they started recruiting me, it was even better."
Rhamir Thomas was a freshman when current Prexies coach Mike Bosnic took over in 2009, the same year Bryan Thomas was a senior.
For Bosnic, the comparison absolutely fits.
"It took a little bit of time for (Rhamir) to mature into his body," Bosnic said. "I wasn't terribly shocked by that because I had coached Bryan, and Bryan, in a lot of ways, was very similar. He was a late bloomer."
Not just with football, either.
Rhamir Thomas struggled with bouts of immaturity early on his career – lack of focus, discipline issues. He always did OK in school, but when it came to football, he never took it too seriously.
Until this year.
After the final game of his junior season, Thomas was fed up. No more special teams; he wanted to start.
So over the offseason, Thomas worked on his agility and changed positions from defensive line to linebacker, keeping his weight around 200 pounds, just toning and sculpting what his 6-2 frame already had.
He saddled up next to Jaylin Kelly and learned all he could about hand placement and footwork. He became more of a leader.
"I'm really proud of the way he stuck with it," Bosnic said. "He really matured – not only into a great football player, but he's becoming a really good person, too.
"He's become a leader in school and a good student."
Thomas had 94 tackles, three sacks, one interception and three fumble recoveries last season, teaming with Kelly to anchor a defense that allowed 12.2 points per game.
In the WPIAL Class AA final at Heinz Field, Thomas made eight tackles, three of them solo, and also recovered two fumbles during a 34-7 loss to Aliquippa.
Thomas benches 260 pounds and runs a 4.7-second 40-yard dash – OK numbers, sure, but ones that will surely improve considering he's only recently tapped into his potential.
"I know I could do better," Thomas said. "I wish I had another year at linebacker. I could've done more."
For now, though, Thomas has done plenty.
Even though the man who set the blueprint for him couldn't pick out exactly why.
"Honestly, I don't know," Bryan Thomas said. "Sometimes it just happens for you. I felt like he realized one day he knows he needs to do something, and he did. He pursued the goal that he set."

School directors in McGuffey School District are asking that the Washington County commissioners be found in civil contempt for failing to begin a countywide property tax reassessment.
The board voted at its meeting last week to direct its solicitor, Susan Mondik Key, to file the petition at the next status conference before Washington County President Judge Debbie O'Dell Seneca.
That status conference is set for 9:30 a.m. March 19.
The petition also will ask the court to have the county reimburse the school district for attorney fees associated with the case.
McGuffey and Washington school districts have been attempting since 2008 to compel the county to conduct a property tax reassessment, contending their residents are now overtaxed. Since the last reassessment was done in 1979, there has been increased commercial and residential development in the county.
Washington School Board will be deciding whether to join in the contempt order request. Its director of operations, Rick Mancini, said Monday he wasn't sure whether the issue would be on that night's agenda or come before the board at its March 11 meeting.
In December, the state Superior Court ordered the county to begin its reassessment, but the county has appealed that decision to the state Supreme Court, pointing out that other counties in the state have not reassessed for decades. However, Key previously noted it is wrong to compare heavily forested and sparsely populated counties in the state's northern tier with Washington County, which now has a casino, new hotels and growing residential development in Peters and North Strabane townships.
Commissioners also have argued they should delay a reassessment in case statewide property tax reform is undertaken in the Legislature. Spending the estimated $8 million to do the reassessment now would be a waste of money for taxpayers, they say.
The school districts do not believe there will be immediate statewide property tax reform.
O'Dell Seneca held a status conference in January and scheduled another six weeks later to see what, if any, progress has been made.
Key said she will be presenting the request to hold the commission in contempt at that time.
"We're saying they're under a court order to do it, and that's why we hold them in contempt," she said.
Mancini estimated that Washington and McGuffey have spent about $30,000 each in legal fees to compel the county to begin the reassessment. It would be at the court's discretion how much of those fees might be awarded back to the districts and how far back the compensation would go, said Key.
The school districts are sharing the attorney costs.
"Each time the school districts have had to go to court, they are paying," Key said. "And the only reason we have to go to court is because the commissioners haven't done anything."
Larry Maggi, chairman of the county commissioners, did not immediately return a call seeking comment Monday.
This is the second time the school districts have attempted to have the court found in contempt. A similar request was dismissed in June 2011.

Former 'Biggest Loser' contestant exercises with SF Elementary students
Former 'Biggest Loser' contestant exercises with SF Elementary students
A little encouragement paid off in a big way for students at South Fayette Elementary School. Instead of teachers encouraging students, this time it was the fourth-grade class at the school sending letters of encouragement to Michael Dorsey, a recent contestant on "The Biggest Loser" reality television show.
Dorsey was so touched by the letters from the students that he wanted to thank them in person, so on May 3, all of the fourth-graders at South Fayette had the chance to meet and exercise with Dorsey.
Students in Sarah Oddis's fourth-grade class started writing letters to Dorsey while he was on the show. "I had known him from college," Oddis said, adding that Dorsey was a professor at Cedarville University when she was there. "We wrote letters of encouragement," she said of her class.
"It really worked out awesome," Oddis said of Dorsey's visit. Students in her class also made posters welcoming Dorsey to the school.
Fourth-grader Aliya Schraeder said she was "really excited" to see Dorsey. "I wanted to see his change – before and after (he lost weight)," she said.
"I've never met a famous person in my life," said Kendall Yeaman, a fourth-grader. "I think he's a really good guy."
"It was awesome to watch him on the show," said fourth-grader Ray Urska. "He was very athletic."
Dorsey, a motivational speaker and teacher, who lives in Baltimore, Maryland, has lost more than 130 pounds as a result of the show. Dorsey explained to the fourth-graders that it was because of an injury when he was younger that he stopped playing sports and "slowly, surely started really becoming 'Big Mike.'"
"I didn't take care of myself," Dorsey said. He said he soon found he was too big to go on roller coasters at amusement parks, which is something he's loved to do since he was a kid.
Dorsey said once, he was at Hershey Park and tried to go on the Lightning Racer there, and the safety bar wouldn't lock. He said the workers at the park kept saying, "All we need is one more click," for the bar to be secured.
Dorsey said he remembers standing up from the ride and realizing "I was one click away from getting what I wanted." He said he felt like "I could never reach that one click."
But, after losing weight, he decided he would try to go on a roller coaster again.
"Thanks to you all encouraging me, I heard my click," he told the students. "I realized I was important. Each and every one of you are important."

USC's Grabowski garners MVP honors
Jordan Grabowski had a propensity for scoring like NHL great Wayne Gretsky. However, he gave up goals for baskets some time ago and has never regretted it.
Because the commissioner of the USC basketball recreation league would make fun of hockey to him, Grabowski tried out for travel ball and quit playing hockey in the sixth grade.
"I'm glad I did, Grabowski said. "Basketball led me to a pretty good future."
Yet, the foundation was built on hockey. And, its tenets sharpened Grabowski's aptitude, not to mention attitude, on the courts.
"Jordan was such a tough, hard-nose kid," said his high school hoop coach Danny Holzer. "He was very composed and confident.
"He wanted the ball in his hands, whether is was to make the play or to pass it to somebody who would make the hoop. He just refused to lose. He was an emotional leader for us and he kept things always positive."
Those were just lessons Grabowski learned from the sports in which he participated.
"I'm a very competitive kid. I can't stand losing," he said.
"My favorite thing about basketball is just the intensity and competitiveness. Basketball taught me to forget about things quickly that aren't in your favor. Like missing a shot. You have to forget about it immediately."
While a short-term memory is beneficial in basketball, Grabowski didn't miss much when he played for the Panthers. For two straight seasons, he led USC in scoring.
After a junior year, when he averaged 15 points, five rebounds and two assists an outing, Grabowski ratcheted it up a notch. He fired in 16.6 points per game. In addition to scoring, he also led in assists with 76 and rebounds with 110. He managed 27 steals.
The 6-0 senior guard guided USC to a record 17-game winning streak, not to mention a section title. The Panthers reached the Elite Eight in the WPIAL Quad-A tournament and finished 20-4 overall.
"Jordan was my favorite player to watch in the section," said rival coach Gary Goga from Peters Township. "The kid flat out carried (USC). He was a beast this year."
Grabowski carried the Panthers, in part, because of his deft outside shooting. He ranked No. 2 on the club and buried 48, 3-point field goals. His biggest trey lifted USC to a dramatic win, 57-56, over Norwin in the first round of the playoffs.
Grabowski's touch comes from disciplined practice. From 10 designated spots on the court, he shoots until he makes 10 one-handed shots. "I don't know where I got my accurate shooting. Definitely not from my dad," said the 19-year-old son of David and Reci Grabowski. "He was a slasher, not a shooter. I guess I would have to say it's from my practice routine."
While practice made perfect for Grabowski, the Panthers enjoyed success this season because they got along perfectly. That made the year especially enjoyable for Grabowski.
"This definitely was my most favorite," he said. "Our team had a connection like no other team I've been a part of. It was good. We have made some friendships that will last forever. That's why I think we played so well."
The Panthers played well up until their disappointing defeat to Seneca Valley. In that season-ending loss to the Raiders, 44-34, Grabowski fired in 16 points.
"We just couldn't make a basket against Seneca Valley," said Grabowski of that nightmare contest where the Panthers missed their first 14 shots and shot less than 35 percent from the field.
While Grabowski "wished" he and his Panthers could have had a shot at WPIAL champion and PIAA runner-up New Castle in the playoffs, he has a couple shots to put on a scholastic uniform again before embarking on his collegiate career. Grabowski was selected to play in several post-season all-star games, including the Roundball Classic and the Hoops For the Cure.
"The Roundball Classic has been one of my motivations since my freshman year," he said. "I'm excited to play in these all-star games."
Grabowski is equally excited about his college prospects. Allegheny, Penn State-Behrend, Thiel and Westminster have offered him an education. Grabowski hopes to study business and management. "In the future, I'd like to possibly own my own sports team or coach at a high level with other small business things on the side," he said.
To date, there is nothing small about Grabowski's accomplishments. While leading his Panthers to success, he garnered his own accolades. A two-time, all-section performer, he concludes his scholastic career at The Almanac's MVP for boys' basketball.
"It's truly an honor," he said of the distinction. "I am grateful to have received this recognition. There are a lot of good players out there. So this means a lot."

A Washington County judge will continue to hear a dispute between Range Resources Corp. and Robinson Township despite the Marcellus Shale driller's request that he step aside.
Judge John F. DiSalle's order, filed Monday, said the involvement of his wife, Diane, with the Peters Township Marcellus Shale Awareness Group nearly two years ago "has not in any way affected the court's ability to hear the case" fairly and impartially.
Diane DiSalle was involved with the group that collected more than 2,400 signatures to have a referendum placed on the November 2011 ballot to amend Peters Township's home rule charter. It would have prohibited gas drilling and related gas drilling activity, such as the installation of pipelines and compressor stations. The measure was defeated at the polls.
"Such activity does not constitute a circumstance where the court's impartiality might reasonably be questioned under the code of judicial conduct," the order continued.
In an affidavit, Range's spokesman Matt Pitzarella noted that in summer 2011, Diane DiSalle, who lives nearby, had knocked on his door and asked him to sign a petition for a drilling ban. He said he spoke with her for three hours before she left.
Pitzarella also claimed to have seen an anti-drilling sign in the couple's yard prior to the election. DiSalle said they never had such a sign in their yard, although their neighbor did.
In addition, the Marcellus Shale awareness group is listed under Pennsylvania's Department of State business entity filings as being "owned" by Diane DiSalle. The group maintains a Facebook page, but that page indicates the group was dissolved Feb. 2.
Range admitted it was aware of Diane DiSalle's connection with the group since July 2011, and the company did not ask the judge to recuse himself in another case, MarkWest Liberty Midstream and Resources LLC and Range vs. Cecil Township Zoning Hearing Board, over which DiSalle presided from April 21, 2011, through Jan. 22 of this year, when he sided with the zoning board.
According to an order filed Monday, DiSalle reviewed the matter with the three other judges from the Washington County bench and concluded that "this is not a situation where a significant minority of the lay community might also reasonably question the court's impartiality."
Range is suing Robinson Township for failing to allow the company to begin gas operations on two properties it had leased for gas drilling. The company filed its lawsuit against the township Jan. 28, even before township supervisors voted to deny the gas extraction company two permits to drill for gas on the Parees property, 167 1/2 acres off Midway-Candor Road, and the Kendall property, an 84-acre tract at 1620 Valley View Road, Bulger. The board cited the company's insufficient documents as its reason for the denials.
In its suit, Range contends the township has fabricated a number of issues, including the board's "befuddlement" over the number of wells the company wishes to drill and its site plan. Range also opposed attorney John Smith acting as both the township's counsel and hearing officer. Smith later recused himself, and Jonathan Kamin now represents the township on gas drilling issues.
Range claims the township has acted in bad faith and that its failure to comply with sections in the state's Municipalities Planning Code means the conditional use Range is seeking has been approved.
In a companion order to the one in which DiSalle found that Range failed to meet its burden of presenting evidence that would require him to recuse himself from the Robinson Township case, he also scheduled a status conference for April 29.

Nikon 1 J2 review: All Quiet on the Eastern FrontMonday October 29 2012 Sensor Review
In terms of image quality, the Nikon 1 J2 doesn't show a whole lot of progress with respect to its predecessor, the J1. We would have preferred to see the J2 benefit from a redesigned sensor, but it appears that Nikon has chosen instead to reserve its latest 1" sensor technology for its expert-level camera, the Nikon 1 V2.
With respect to a conventional expert-level digital compact with a 1/1.7" sensor, the Nikon 1 J2 stands out with its much higher sensitivity. But this advantage may well shatter once the new generation of 1/1.7" sensors come on the scene — moving from CCD to backlit CMOS technology.
Compared to the Sony RX100, with which it shares the same size sensor and a similar footprint, the Nikon J2 lags behind primarily in dynamic range. The low-light results for the two cameras are very close.
As far as the micro 4:3 compact hybrid market goes, the Nikon 1 J2 has some seriously good points in its favor, but even so, the situation may radically change with the upcoming generation of Olympus Pen cameras that benefit from the OM-D E-M5's new 16-Mpix sensor.
So it's in the areas of features and ergonomics that users will find the strengths of the new generation of Nikon compact hybrids. And they are numerous: with its different creative modes, Full HD 60p video, 10 fps burst shooting, and speedy autofocus, the Nikon 1 J2 is a compact for the general public that will really shine in family and action photography.
Further readings for the Nikon 1 J2 review: All Quiet on the Eastern Front
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
The Nikon 1 J2 retains many of the same characteristics of its older brother, the J1, including its 1", 10-Mpix CMOS sensor. Other than its new 3", 921,000-point screen, the new version of Nikon's compact hybrid puts particular emphasis on creative modes. How does the Nikon 1 J2's sensor perform with respect to its predecessor, to its direct competitors, and to expert-level hybrids and compacts? Some answers from DxOMark.

Re: What a stupid camera
So you don't care about how cameras compare but you care about Amazon sales rankings? OK. Justin Bieber outsells most artists. Does that make his music the best? Not even close.
You said the Nikon 1 was a dead-end concept. But the very fact that it compares favorably to other cameras, even some with larger sensors means that not only is a NOT a dead end concept, but is a great choice for people wanting great IQ in a fast shooting camera. And I don't know if you've used both cameras (I've owned both a J1 and RX100) but the J1 and RX100 bodies are exactly the same size. Look up the specs. Identical size.
The only reason the RX100 is popular is because it's one of the first P&S with a large sensor. That;s it. BUT it has muçh slower AF and performance than a J2. And the slow f4.9 lens at 100mm, is equivalent to f13.4 on FF. Not exactly desirable for portraits where you want subject/background separation. RX100 also has terrible macro performance, no macro mode. I don't know about you, but I like P&S for macro because they have deep DOF and focus extremely close. The RX100 doesn't, so why buy it? For 1/2 EV better high ISO vs other P&S? Not enough reason for me.
The Nikon 1 cameras have blazing fast AF, super accurate predictive tracking that an RX100 can't even do. For sports/action photography an RX100 wouldn't even be anywhere in the running. The RX100 is a snapshot camera, no more. It's main selling point is size but the J2 without the lens is the same exact size, but is a much more versatile camera. Period.
I'm not sure why you feel so threatened by the Nikon 1 camera, but if you don't like it, find a different camera. Nobody cares if YOU think it's a stupid camera.

Re: What a stupid camera
I only mentioned the sales because you mentioned the sales.
The RX100 is smaller in every measure. The RX100 is 101x58x36mm. The J1 112x61x30. And while the RX100 is deeper, that includes a lens with a 18-100mm equivalent focal length. Add in the 31mm of Nikon's 29.7-74.25mm equivalent lens and the J1 is larger all around. Even Nikon's 27mm pancake lens adds 22mm, still making the J1 larger. The RX100 grows when the lens extends, but that doesn't affect its pocketability. Moreover, the lens on the RX100 is both sharper and much faster, with a maximum aperture of f/1.8.
I agree. One of the first P&S with a large sensor. It was groundbreaking. The problem is, this should not have taken them so long. This should not have been groundbreaking. Moreover, as we saw from Canon, simply putting a large sensor in a camera was not enough. It had to be engineered around that sensor and priced correctly. Canon produced the completely crap G1X and charged way too much for it. It was a sales failure as a result. It wasn't completely about the sensor. It was about the total package.
I did little macro work with the RX100, so I cannot comment on it. But if you like macro work, why not get a dedicated lens on a larger sensor? I do all of my macro work with the 60mm EF-S on a Canon EOS 20D. It's an excellent combo.
I agree that the J1 and V1 are faster cameras, but in their price bracket, my experiences with the E-M5 and the new NEX-6 were much better. I'm sure that the E-PL5 will be just as fast or faster as well. Other cameras will always be able to catch up, but the V1/J1 will always have a smaller, less capable sensor and a difficult value proposition unless Nikon drops the price significantly.
I completely disagree that the V1/J1/V2/J2 are more versatile cameras. Unless Nikon produces a super-fast lens, the Sony will always have a huge ace in the hole. And being forced to carry around multiple lenses does not make the Nikon more versatile/compact, it makes it less.
I am angered by the Nikon 1, not threatened. I am angered because it is the creation of an arrogant company that is relying on its massive distribution network to push out retrograde products at high prices. Instead of innovating, instead of giving us the most for our money, they try to maximize profits and prevent cannibalization of extant products.
And when Nikon commands such a large hunk of the market, when they don't move forward, they drag the entire industry down to their speed. That pisses me off.

What a stupid camera
Really. The 1 is the very definition of a dead-end concept.
I don't have complete info, and lord knows Nikon is being cagey about the sales for this camera, but is the 1 still actually selling?
All of my contacts and friends in the business say that the 1 isn't selling at all, but most of them work in camera shops. Are these selling at Best Buys and Targets?

Re: What a stupid camera
Very surprised that Nikon can come put with such an UGLY camera.
I guess the product engineer was asleep or quarreled with his wife the day when the camera was designed.
Or perhaps it is a JOKE from Nikon ? !

Re: What a stupid camera
I guess you didn't bother reading the article where the J2 competes very well against both the RX100 and cameras with larger sensors like the Olympus EP3.
And the Nikon 1 has the advantage of actually being able to do great AF tracking because of the PDAF (a feature that NO current mirrorless has) and shoots 12 to 15 fps burst rate. If that kind of performance is "stupid", where does that leave the competitors?
So I don't know what's stupid about a camera with solid IQ, and AF and processing performance that blows the doors off the competitors.
The J1 is a best seller on Amazon, is found in all big box stores like Best Buy and Costco here in the US, and is consistently in the top sellers in the Asian markets.
Lastly, here's a tip. It's not enough to say something is "stupid" you have to say why you think it
's stupid.

Re: What a stupid camera
I absolutely read the article. I don't care how it compares to other cameras, I have problems with the very concept of the camera.
It's an overpriced camera with a tiny sensor that will always underperform other cameras with larger sensors. It's the same reason why almost everyone discounted 4/3 when it first launched back in 2003. 4/3 was designed to solve technical issues of the time. Those issues no longer exist, so we are left with a camera system that is by design inferior.
The Nikon 1 takes this problem to a new level. Sony's RX100 is much more logical. Take a small sensor and make a small camera. Don't take a small sensor and make something bulky.
The IQ is good for a sensor of its size. To say that it is generally good is an overstatement. All of my time with the J1 left me feeling like I was using an expensive point-&-shoot... which I was, and the images looked like it.
If Nikon had taken the benefits of the V1/J1 and put it into a P&S with top-quality glass, I would have called it a marvel--the next generation of P&S technology, destined to compete with the influx of cell phone cameras. But they didn't. Instead, they built a bulky, fundamentally inferior camera at a high price.
And I don't understand how you can say it compares well with other cameras. Vis-a-vis the Sony, 1.6 fewer stops of dynamic range? You call that comparing well? And it doesn't compete at all in comparison to the Olympus E-M5. And while we're on the subject of comparing it to 4/3 sensors, they sucked! Everyone knows that the 4/3 sensors made by Panasonic weren't competitive. That's why Olympus (finally!) ditched them for Sony, and why even Panasonic has likely started using Sony's sensors for the GH3.
The continuous shooting uses a great number of technical tricks (such as the electronic shutter) that results in distortion of images that I don't like. The standard, "shutter-open-expose-shutter-close repeat" mode of continuous shooting is only 5fps (on the V1, the J1 only has an electronic shutter).
Moreover, the burst rate fills up the buffer so quickly, that you can only capture a second of time in photos. The window is too small. I have as good a chance of getting a shot if I simply fire off one and hope that I got it.
That's not to say that it's bad. Using the standard 5fps shooting rate allows for ten seconds of time. That's good, but no better than other cameras.
And the J1 and V1 only began selling well on Amazon after the large price drop in anticipation of the J2 and V2. Before that they were somewhere around 500th.
The J1 only has 73 reviews after being on the market for a year. The V1 has 47. The Sony RX100 has 159 after having been out for only five months and is still, right now, outselling the V1 and J1. The V1 is #144 in "camera & photo," while the RX100 is #14. The Sony NEX-5n is #17.
For further information, we can look to Flickr. The J1 is 32nd in the Nikon list, and the V1 is 46th. They don't even appear on any other lists. The J1 had 82 users yesterday upload images, the V1 only 48. The NEX-5n had 311. The RX100 had 167. The E-M5 had 339. Even the old Panasonic GF1 had 173.
All of the data indicates that the Nikon V1/J1 are being destroyed in the marketplace. And rightfully so. They are overpriced and under-designed, intended not to provide the consumer with the most for their money, but wedge a product into Nikon's extant product line-up without competing with their DSLR business. It is a cowardly product.
Moreover, merely being available in locations doesn't equal sales. And the Asian markets are unique. Both Panasonic and Olympus have been doing very well there, and everywhere else they are tanking hard.
So here's a tip for you, too. Don't condescend to people you don't know and about whom you have little information. Nor should you read into their posts and infer things they didn't say.

HARRISBURG – Republican Gov. Tom Corbett's liquor privatization plan could result in many more retailers selling beer and wine than he anticipates, a Senate Democrat said Thursday, as industry players critiqued legislation that has yet to be introduced.
Sen. Jim Ferlo, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Law and Justice Committee, said at least 10,000 retailers would qualify for the new licenses, twice as many as Corbett estimates, and warned it would compound social problems and crime.
"I just see it all on the down side," said the Allegheny County lawmaker, whose committee oversees liquor legislation and who favors keeping the state store system.
Corbett spokesman Eric Shirk said the administration's consultant based its estimate of 5,000 stores on the experience of other states.
"Our number is based off a scientific, educated study," he said.
Shirk noted that Corbett's proposal calls for increased funding for state police enforcement activities, stiffer penalties for sellers who serve alcohol to minors and expanded treatment and prevention programs.
Corbett has billed his plan as a revenue-neutral strategy for enhancing consumer convenience and modernizing Pennsylvania laws governing the sale of alcoholic beverages. The plan is expected generate a four-year windfall of $1 billion from the initial sale of licenses, which the governor proposes using to create a block grant program for public schools.
Unlike licenses involving the sale of liquor, Corbett's plan sets no limit on the number of wine and beer licenses that could be sold to retailers including big-box stores, grocery stores and pharmacies.
Licensees would face annual renewal fees ranging from $10,000 to $35,000 and limits on how much they may sell per transaction. For example, convenience stores could sell only one six-pack of beer at a time.
Most beer in Pennsylvania is sold by the case through about 1,200 retail distributors, while wine is sold at the more than 600 state stores that Corbett wants to close and replace with twice as many private liquor and wine stores.
Efforts to get the state out of the liquor and wine businesses have perennially failed.
Corbett's initiative would dramatically open the sale of alcoholic beverages to private entrepreneurs, ending 80 years of state control, but critics were taking shots at the plan even before it was drafted into legislation.
Law and Justice Committee Chairman Charles McIlhinney, Ferlo's Republican counterpart on the panel, said last month he is sponsoring a bill that would keep the state stores open while allowing beer retailers to buy special licenses to sell wine and liquor.
Mark Tanczos, president of the Pennsylvania Malt Beverage Distributors Association, which represents many of the 1,200 beer distributors, objected to a proposed $150,000 fee that distributors would have to pay for enhanced licenses that allow them to sell wine and to sell beer in six-packs as well as by the case.
"We've been asking to let them sell six-packs for 30 years," said Tanczos, who owns a Bethlehem distributorship. "I don't know why we're singled out to pay that much."
Jay Wiederhold, president of the Pennsylvania Beer Alliance, which represents about 45 wholesale distributors that deliver beer to retailers, said the proposal would increase overhead because trucks would be making more trips and more stops without an offsetting increase in revenue.
"You're really not going to sell much more beer," Wiederhold said. "If you bought a case of beer a week, you're still going to buy a case a week."
Louis Sheetz, executive vice president of marketing for the Altoona-based Sheetz convenience store chain, which was granted a license to sell beer at its Altoona store in 2010 after a court battle with distributors, said the one six-pack limit is unrealistic because customers typically want at least two six-packs, or 12 cans or bottles.
"A case equivalent (24 containers) would be a great customer convenience," he said.

What baseball's latest legislation really means
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – The brains and brawn of the seven easterly Cactus League teams arrived mid-afternoon Monday in groups large enough to fit in rented SUVs, here because replay is coming, and because catchers will be protected, and because the game is changing for the better.
Inside a theater in the Colorado Rockies' complex, men from Park Avenue would stand at the front of the room and explain for two hours, and soothe, and defend, and cajole, and whatever it would take to hoist the soul of the sport into the 21st century. Replay has broadened, and so have the technology and the mechanics of it, along with the choices left to a manager with already enough to think about.
[Also: Why Barry Bonds' immense presence at Giants camp makes sense]
And, just Monday, MLB and the players' union released a draft of their plan to save the catchers, which, in essence, said that catchers without the ball cannot block the plate and runners without conscience cannot go out of their way to bury said catchers. It is less a ban on collisions than it is a guideline for what can and cannot occur when two men and one ball arrive at about the same place at about the same time.
"We're trying to eliminate the vicious hits," said Joe Torre, who, along with Tony La Russa and others, spearheaded the legislation, known as Official Baseball Rule 7.13. "We'll see if we have to do more or if this gets the job done."
One participant said that about 10 percent of the two-hour meeting was spent on the new rule. The rest was on replay, and what it's going to look like, and who it will impact, and what the strategies will be. There was PowerPoint. There was conversation. One challenge per game, per manager. If a challenge were upheld, the manager would get another. If the challenges are burned by the seventh inning, challenges are left to the umpires' discretion. The process is meant to be quick and transparent and definitive, though MLB officials grant it may not be, and that the particulars of replay are likely to evolve. As to its quickness and definitiveness, we'll all find out together, including the managers, whose most frequent questions have been about the timing of the challenges – as in, the amount of time they have to request them. To that end, a challenge could come at the end of an argument, or between batters, or during a pitching change.
Fundamentally, La Russa said, "We're after the key play that may have been reversed, and correct it. And it's going to be faster than the arguments."
Asked if he is confident in the system as it stands, La Russa said, "I am. We put a lot of work into it."
As for the protection of catchers, home plate could still be a blood bath, if that's a concern, so everybody wins.
Catchers will still be in the way, if they choose. Baserunners will still try to separate them from their memories.
Rest easy; it's still baseball.
Turns out, word of a ban on home-plate collisions was somewhat exaggerated, as Monday's unveiling confirmed. They're not banned. They're not even really frowned upon.
There are rules of engagement, is all. If those get blurry (and they will), then replay – yes, replay – will sort it out.
What is banned:
• A catcher (or any other player) blocking the plate without the baseball.
• A baserunner deviating from his direct path to the plate in order to initiate contact with the catcher.
That's it.
When a catcher leaves a path to the plate, no violation. When a runner slides – charmingly defined as "the runners buttocks and legs should hit the ground before contact" – no violation.
So, we get a few more swipe tags, a few more slides, and fewer catastrophic injuries, such as concussions. That's good.
Reckless disregard for the rule, such as a baserunner going after a catcher, would not only result in the runner being called out (regardless of the play's outcome), but could bring further discipline – ejections, fines, even suspensions – from Torre.
Yes, in a game that often changes slowly, it may have been a lot to digest for the dozens in the room Monday afternoon. Off to the side, the man leaning on the cane was a reminder that this isn't simply about the players and the managers and how the rest of us plan to keep up.
The umpires, supervisor Steve Palermo said, "Are very receptive." "It's to get the play right," he said. "Believe me, nobody wants to get the play right anymore than the umpire. … I've told the umpires, use this as a gift and not a burden. You get a chance to get something right or confirm it. Either way, you're getting it right.
"Baseball's given us a chance to be perfect. Or, at least, close to perfect."

Thank you for the update Dr_SLUMP! I have fixed the links for Teela and Skeletor.
For an even nicer looking display, I recommend downloading the un-punched card and creating your own punched look with one of these!
You can see it's much cheaper to go with the other sellers (~22 instead of ~35).
Also, Chris Faccone is continuing to put out some amazing MOTU artwork! It would be fun to make a whole series of clamshell art with his stuff! Something like this...

Washington County Commissioner Diana Irey Vaughan's campaign committee from her unsuccessful bid last year for state treasurer is being sued by a political consulting firm and its affiliate over an unpaid bill of more than $20,000 for fundraising work.
Marquis Strategies of Beaver and Clark Brett of Morgantown, W.Va., filed the lawsuit Wednesday in Washington County Court, claiming the Friends with Diana fundraising arm of Irey Vaughan's campaign and its manager and treasurer owe them 10 percent of the $210,518 they raised for Irey in the months leading up to the November election, court records show.
The two-count lawsuit charges the McMurray-based campaign with breach of contract and unjust enrichment for accepting campaign money raised by the plaintiffs without compensation for their efforts. The claim seeks $21,050 from the campaign.
The plaintiffs state in the lawsuit there was a verbal agreement with Jason Fitzgerald of Harrisburg, who served as campaign manager, and the campaign's treasurer, William Henry of Venetia, to collect a 5 percent fee from each of them on a monthly basis. The court record indicates the industry standard is to collect 10 percent of campaign income.
Irey Vaughan, a Republican, lost the election to incumbent Democrat Rob McCord.
Henry referred comment to Fitzgerald, who claims the lawsuit is "without merit."
"We have paid the company in full," Fitzgerald said Thursday.
He said the agreement to use Marquis did not involve any conversations with Irey Vaughan.
"The whole basis of this is over a misunderstanding between myself and (Marquis)," Fitzgerald said.
Adam Henry, a Cranberry attorney representing the plaintiffs, said the lawsuit "is a straightforward breach of contract case."
"Our clients did work for the campaign and have not been paid," Henry said.
Irey Vaughan did not return a message seeking comment.
