Recent editorials from West Virginia newspapers:
Nov. 4
News and Sentinel, Parkersburg, W. Va., on spending fiascoes in state:
Once the cost of waste and outright wrongdoing in West Virginia's massive program to improve Internet access is added up, it will not be surprising if the total is in eight figures.
State officials admit $7.9 million was wasted in purchasing unnecessarily expensive network routers. Some analysts say the waste actually was twice that. And millions more may have been spent improperly when state bidding procedures were ignored in a communications tower project.
It all was part of a program to spend $126.3 million in federal "stimulus" money given to the state. Misuse of much of that money has received national attention.
Earlier this month, state legislators were told they should stiffen purchasing rules to avoid similar waste in the future. Lawmakers should accept every recommendation along that line from the Legislative Auditor's Office — and more.
In addition, investigations of misspending should continue. Those who broke state rules should be fired — and/or prosecuted, if crimes occurred.
Too much money was wasted for state officials merely to try to do better in the future.

The Herald-Dispatch, Huntington, W. Va., on one chain's decision to stop selling a drug used in making meth:
A decision by Rite Aid pharmacies in West Virginia to stop selling cold medications that have only pseudoephedrine as their active ingredient has received mixed reviews.
But in the short term, it's at least a small step forward in efforts to reduce the illegal production of methamphetamine, which is highly addictive to its users and poses serious hazards to anyone else in the vicinity of meth-making labs.
The decision by Rite Aid applies to a few products that are sought out by people because they contain only pseudoephedrine and thus are easier to use in making potent methamphetamine. Rite Aid stores will continue to sell medications that contain both pseudoephedrine and other active ingredients such as antihistamines and pain relievers, which typically aren't in such high demand for illegal meth production.
Rite Aid's decision came after a recent report by The Charleston Gazette showing that some of its stores were among the state's top sellers of products that contain pseudoephedrine. A Rite Aid spokeswoman said the company was committed to doing its part to combat methamphetamine production.
Jason Grellner, vice president of the National Narcotics Officers Association, told The Gazette that Rite Aid should be commended. ...
Last year, West Virginia lawmakers passed a bill that allowed the state's participation in a tracking system called NPLEx, which required all pharmacies in the state to report sales of pseudoephedrine products. ...
If other pharmacy chains make the same move as Rite Aid, perhaps the prevalence of illegal meth labs would drop significantly. But short of such a widespread buy-in by the those selling pseudoephedrine products, mandating prescription-only sales may be the only way to crimp methamphetamine production. The two other states that require prescriptions have seen sharp declines in meth-lab seizures. That's the kind of results that West Virginia must pursue.
Oct. 31
Charleston (W. Va.) Gazette on vast campaign cash poisons politics:
Four West Virginia coal industry millionaires evidently exceeded federal limits for political donations — nearly all given to Republicans — reporter David Gutman revealed.
But those federal limits are a joke, easily evaded via "soft money" and "dark money" and "super PACs" and phony "social welfare" groups and other schemes that let the rich funnel vast sums to the GOP. Some political fronts aren't allowed to campaign directly for candidates, but they can buy slanted TV spots smearing their opponents.
For example, it's estimated that casino mogul Sheldon Adelson poured as much as $150 million into last year's attempt to defeat President Barack Obama. He's on record as giving $20.5 million to a super-PAC that backed Newt Gingrich — and when Gingrich sank to the failure he deserved, Adelson poured $30 million more to a super-PAC for Mitt Romney, who likewise sank to failure. Federal donation limits didn't impede Adelson. ...
Currently, another pending case, McCutcheon v. FEC, may destroy the few restraints on political cash that remain. The Lexington Herald-Leader said this case may lead to a "nightmare plutocracy" of "selling government to the highest bidders." It added:
"Defenders of democracy back to Theodore Roosevelt have fought to curb the poisoning of our political system by money infusions from wealthy individuals and corporations. But lately they've been losing."
In the pending 2014 West Virginia race for U.S. Senate, Republican Shelley Moore Capito already has $3.2 million in campaign funds, while Democratic challenger Natalie Tennant has only $153,000 — a 20-to-1 lopsided advantage. When the avalanche of TV ads begins, brace yourself for 20 smears on one side for each one on the other.
If people simply ignored the television barrage and voted according to their personal beliefs, the problem of "poisoning" by the rich would fade.

As we reported last night, after a state audit found the problem part-time administrative assistant Craig Masters agreed to reimburse the county. As of September 1st, he had paid back $1,500.
Auditors determined because Masters is a part-time employee, he was not eligible for the 146 hours of sick pay he received in 2012.
The county mayor chalked it up to a mistake.
Following our story last night, former sheriff Kent Harris took to Facebook to comment on our story and criticize his former employee, Sheriff Mike Hensley.
Here's exactly how the post looks:
"[A] mistake is getting one check you are not due and turning it back in. When you keep almost five [thousand] dollars you are not due and only start to pay it back when state auditors force your hand that is fraud and theft -- which is something Masters and Mike Hensley know well. I thought Mike Hensley was all about [transparency] why is he failing to speak after repeated attempts? My hope is Unicoi County will get a honest sheriff in next year's election. Mike Hensley -- believe me --will do, say, even swear to lies to get what he wants."
Harris left office after Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agents launched a criminal investigation. However, after two hung juries prosecutors dropped their case.
We tried contacting Sheriff Hensley again today but have still not been able to reach him for comment.

Born from a deep-rooted winegrowing background, it was only in 1986 that the Domaine became entirely dedicated to a passion for wine. Consequently, the Domaine sold all other businesses in the field of hi-tech ventilated suits.
This choice was matured through long consideration and thought for both quality and environment-friendliness. The goal was clear: produce the best wine in each appellation, while preserving nature and man. La Mordoree therefore acquired new lands, broadening its vineyards and enriching its appellations with new cherished parcels of land.
A Cote of Many Grapes
The appellation of Cotes du Rhone encompasses much of the land of the area, not to mention much of the wine - over two-thirds of the wine produced here is of the Cotes-du-Rhone appellation. Wines here need only be from the Cotes de Rhone geographic area (which is fairly large) and consist of one or more of the 22 varieties permitted. Being such a wide...Read More About Cotes du Rhone
The Rhone region of France has a delightful selection of red varieties. There are 22 grapes allowed in the Rhone AOC, about half of them red.

We had a big day yesterday! It felt awesome: it was so hot in the kitchen and we were working really hard and sweating like crazy. Anyway, the biggest thing that happened is that we used the new macaroon machine. Pretty sweet. There is a short video above of what the macaroons look like once they are pressed. More videos to come! It was very strange using it for the first time. There were so many expectations to battle and new methods to use. During the first batches every other macaroon was not looking right and we had to throw it back into the "hopper." That was scary.. "did we make a mistake" "are we going to fail" "will we lose a lot of money?" All of those thoughts came up. The machine is BIG and heavy and after using it for a few hours Ian concluded that it really works to it's potential when we have A LOT of macaroon batter in there...as you can see in the video. So it looks like our production schedule will be changing. Instead of making all or most flavors a day, we will be doing only one or two and just filling all of our dehydrator space with single flavors. This is going to change things significantly, especially how much storage space we need. August cant come sooner, we are really ready for this move!!
On another note, we dropped off samples to our local Wegmans supermarket yesterday. It is such a great store and it is a dream to sell our stuff to them. At first we submitted ourselves to the corporate headquarters in Rochester and we were denied. This time someone recommended that we go through our local store's manager. So we had a few conversations with and finally met Gary yesterday and he will be communicating with the corporate buyer now. Think positive thoughts everyone! If you live in Ithaca, it would mean so much to us if you recommended our products with the manager there! The more requests there are, the more they will see a need for our stuff.
So many exciting things happening. None of which would be possible if it weren't for our amazing and supportive community. What a place to start a flourishing business! Thank YOU for your support by simply reading this blog and being in tune with us. We love YOU. What are you grateful for today? Let us know, right here.

Windows Media Center is included in some editions of Windows 7.
When used to its fullest, Media Center can turn your computer into a powerful home entertainment hub. You can unleash the full power of Media Center by connecting your computer to an HDTV and using a Media Center remote to control all the action from your couch.
Another option is to connect your computer to a standard computer monitor, keyboard, and mouse. You can even stream your media over a home network to an Extender device. For more information, see Set up a Windows Media Center Extender.
No matter which way you choose, Media Center keeps you entertained by letting you:
Watch, pause, and record live TV.
For more information, see Watch TV in Windows Media Center and
Record TV in Windows Media Center.
See slide shows of your photos.
For more information, see View pictures and videos in Windows Media Center.
Play any song in your music library, or play CDs or DVDs.
For more information, see Listen to music in Windows Media Center and
Play a CD or DVD in Windows Media Center.
If you're using an edition of Windows 7 that doesn't include Media Center, you can probably upgrade your computer to one that does using Windows Anytime Upgrade. For more information, see Windows Anytime Upgrade: frequently asked questions.
The first time you start Media Center, you'll see an informational setup page and two setup options. The quickest method is, not surprisingly, Express. You can choose this option now if you want to jump right in. However, let's walk through the Custom setup options to give you a better idea of what you can do with Media Center.
The first time you start Media Center, on the setup page, select Continue, and then select Custom.
When you reach the page titled Get the Most from Windows Media Center, select Yes to allow Media Center to download album cover art, DVD cover art, current TV guide listings, information from online media services, and other useful information.
If you choose the Express setup option now, you can return to the Custom setup process later by following these steps from the Windows Media Center start screen: scroll to Tasks, select Settings, select General, select Windows Media Center Setup, then select Run Setup Again.
That's it for the required setup options. The rest of the setup process is optional, but there are a few items on the Optional Setup page that might be of interest to you.
Display Calibration is helpful for getting the best image quality possible on your TV screen or computer monitor.
Display Calibration takes you through the main part of the process with a series of questions. If you're unsure about the details of your hardware setup, such as the name of a cable or the type of display you have, look at the illustrations in Display Calibration—they can help you figure out what type of connection you're using. When you've finished answering the questions, and you're happy with the way your display looks, close Display Claibration. If you're not satisfied, you can use the additional display options under Adjust display controls.
You can return to Display Calibration any time:
On the Windows Media Center start screen, scroll to Tasks, select Settings, select General, select Windows Media Center Setup, and then select Configure Your TV or Monitor.
If your computer is connected to a surround sound system, you can use Speaker Setup. Choose your speaker configuration, then use the test to play a chime sound. Listen closely to each individual speaker to make sure it's receiving a signal.
If you're not getting any sound at all, double-check that all the cables are plugged in correctly and that the volume on both your speakers and your computer is turned up. (Even the most savvy computer expert can accidentally leave the Windows Mute option on once in a while.) If you still can't hear any sound, see Sound cards: frequently asked questions.
If your computer is connected to a TV, note that many video cards and cable types don't support audio signals. You might need to connect the sound card in your computer directly to your speakers. For more information, see Connect your computer to a TV.
You can return to Speaker Setup any time:
On the Windows Media Center start screen, scroll to Tasks, select Settings, select General, select Windows Media Center Setup, and then select Set Up Your Speakers.
Each time you start Media Center, it automatically scans the Music, Pictures, and Videos libraries on your computer. But what if your music files are on an external hard drive, or your pictures are on a different computer in your homegroup? Don't worry—Media Center has solutions.
In Media Library, select the type of media you want to add (for example, Music), and then select Next.
Select Add folders to the library, and then select Next.
Select On this computer (includes mapped network drives), and then select Next.
Browse to the folder where your files are stored, select the check box next to the folder, and then select Next.
Media Center will search the folder for digital media. It will also save your folder selections for the next time you start the program.
If you want to import files from a shared folder on another computer, the process is similar: select On another computer and Media Center will search for shared folders rather than local ones. For more information, see Add media files to Windows Media Center.
You can return to Media Library any time:
On the Windows Media Center start screen, scroll to Tasks, select Settings, and then select Media Libraries.
This option only appears in the Optional Setup menu if Media Center detects a TV tuner. A TV tuner is a hardware device that you can connect to your computer through an internal expansion slot or an external expansion port, such as a USB port. With a compatible TV tuner, you can connect a TV signal to your computer to watch and record TV.
TV Setup will guide you through the process of setting up a TV signal to watch and record in Media Center. When you reach the TV Signal Detection Result page, select Yes, configure TV with these results, and then Media Center will do most of the work for you.
You can return to TV Setup any time:
On the Windows Media Center start screen, scroll to Tasks, select Settings, select General, select Windows Media Center Setup, and then select Set Up TV Signal.
For more information about setting up TV tuners, see TV on your computer: Understanding TV signals and TV tuners.
When you've finished setting up Media Center, select I have finished, select Next, and then select Finish to open Media Center and start exploring. All of your digital music, photos, and home movies—as well as a variety of online media—will be only a few clicks away.

Dow sets a new high; S&P 500 just misses
A late-day surge pushes stocks solidly higher, but the S&P 500 again stalls before its all-time high of 1,615. Health care and energy shares lead the rally.
For the second time in two days, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) just missed setting a new high. But not to worry. The Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) did march to a new high.
The market overall rallied into Tuesday's close, with the Dow moving up 112 points to 14,560, breaking a record set March 14.
The S&P 500 closed up 12 points to 1,563.77. That was about 1.4 points below the index's Oct. 9, 2007, closing peak of 1,565.15. The index came within a quarter-point of that level on Monday but fell back on worries about Europe.
The Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) added 17 points to 3,252, its second-highest finish since Nov. 7, 2000.
The market pushed higher on decent news about the housing market. While new-home sales fell in February from January on a seasonally adjusted basis, the sales for the first two months of the year were the best since 2008.
The housing report offset a decline in consumer confidence. But economists attributed the decline to when the survey was taken -- several weeks when retail gasoline prices were rising. Retail gas nationally averaged $3.658 a gallon nationally, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report.
That's down 13 cents a gallon from a peak of $3.786 a gallon, reached Feb. 27.
If there is a downside to Tuesday's finish, it is the resistance that the S&P 50's 1,565.15 record is exercising on the market. Continued inability to move above that 2007 closing high -- or its intraday record of 1,576.09, reached on Oct. 11, 2007 -- could lead to a breakdown in the index.
The rally was broad, with all 10 sectors of the S&P 500 moving higher on the day. Health care and energy stocks led the rally. Intel (INTC), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Boeing (BA) were the Dow leaders; 21 of the 30 stocks in the index were higher.
A total of 139 stocks overall hit new highs today, including Visa (V), Williams-Sonoma (WSM), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and American Express (AXP).
The day's gains were the best since March 5. The Dow is up 11.1% this year, with the S&P 500 up 9.7%. The Nasdaq is up 7.7%.

The unemployment rate IS down, for sure. But it's not because we are creating jobs, it's because people are retiring or dropping out of the workforce. The labor participation rate is at a multi-decade low and millions less people are working now than were in 2008.
Home sales ARE up. Building permits ARE up. Home prices ARE up. It would be nice if we knew exactly how much REO the banks were holding onto. I'm still seeing quite a few homes that are clearly vacant and that also aren't for sale. There is definitely more new home construction going on now, but this is a double-edged sword considering the number of "used" homes that are empty.
And finally, consider this. With a roughly $16 trillion GDP growing at roughly 2%, we're talking about roughly $320 billion in growth every year, or about $27 billion in growth every month. Ben is pumping $85 billion into the economy every month. So we're getting $27 billion in growth for our $85 billion investment. Not such a rosy picture. This doesn't count the additional $83 billion per month in deficit spending by our fed gov.
The same thing happened under Clinton.... Too many ignorant people tie the stock market to how the economy is going.
Sure, a strong market is nice... HOWEVER; it means very little when you have the government involved in "quantive easing" aka propping up the market, to the tune of $90 billion a month by some estimates!
So, now instead of a false tech bubble, then a false housing bubble, now we have a false government bubble. Just imagine what happens when the government bubble pops! It will make every collapse before then (combined) look insignificant.
Do you understand that he has added over 5 trillion in debt? Do you know what hyper inflation is? You need to look it up because all that "profit" of yours will be consumed by it and what's left will go in higher taxes to that bigger government you voted for back in November. Clueless.
Tip - Let me see if you are saying the same thing by the end of his term. Obammy's policies are the spitting image of Carter's - it's just a matter of time before inflation hits the roof. We are alreay on a 10% inflation track if you look at REAL numbers. Don't be deceived, simpleton, don't be deceived!

What a farce! Nobody that I know is doing any better. The stock market gains and highs don't mean anything to most of us. So, who is actually doing better? The extremely rich that's who. Another day of good new for them and nothing changes for the rest of us.
Hard work and perseverance have lost the battle to a corrupt system that takes care of an elite few.
This is an artificial rise of the dow by government and banks. I know how this all works and you all will see a crash bigger than any from recent memory soon. Those that are foolish enough to believe the govnt/media hype about the economy turning around deserve to be skinned when the time of plunder starts. I laugh and feel pitty for those people who still watch cnn/fox/cnbc, etc propaganda stations and claim they are informed and know whats going on.
I read the comments below and most are posting comments in the correct direction, its people like that are the epitome of brain dead mainstream media whores that argue a bogus and false argument. God help us.
whether true or not, ride the train while it's going up and know enough to pull out when the gettings good. The market is the next bubble.
Whether you're Dumbocrat or Republithug neither one of the parties has anyone with enough financial sense to fix the issue. They just have the ability to pass a law so they can steal yours.
You voted it in, either vote it out or live with it and ST*U. There are no two parties once on the hill.
QE1,QE2,QE3 the Fed is driving the market while they devalue the dollar. The stock market opens higher on future sales over night, quess who is doing the night buying. The dollar is under pressure as the worlds reserve currency, no one is buying bonds to float this wet dream economy except the Fed at the tune of 65 billiom a month, 1 trillion a year.
What happens when the Fed quits propping up the stock and bond market, quits buying toxic assets. We are heading for the mother of all crashes and there is nothing out there that can stop it.

Chalkboard is obvi nothing new these days. If you follow any interior design trends or even do a light browse on Tumblr these days, you know that chalkboard paint is EVERYTHING. I LOVE it a little too much! It's my dream to have a little country kitchen with a chalkboard wall. It will happen, however, until then I will kick it apartment style and chalkboard what I can. I thought I would show you what I have done in my own little apartment here in Frenchland…CHECK IT.
This old dresser has been in my boyfriend Daniels family for quite some time. When we received it, I believe it was baby pink. We refinished it, painted it white, and we have used it in our bedrooms for years! This year we refinished it yet again in chalkboard paint and then added some new handles. It really goes to show that with a little effort you can recycle things you already have. Also, right now the dresser is being used as a little bar in our kitchen area. Get creative and move stuff around. Just because it's a dresser doesn't mean it has to be for clothes. Just because it's a bookcase doesn't mean you can't use it for your clothes or shoes in your bedroom. Moral of the story; Breath new life into things you once thought were shit.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign reports two-thirds of the more than $100 million spent in the series of recall elections over the last two years went to vendors in other states.
An estimated $32 million for campaign services were spent with Wisconsin businesses and groups, but $69 million were for consulting, printing, mailing and other media services from outside the state. More than half of the total money spent went for radio and television ads.
The details released Tuesday were based on spending reports connected to the recall elections of Governor Scott Walker, Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch and 13 state senators.

He's a teen they didn't know, in a state 1,000 miles away.
But in Harrisburg, the verdict in the Trayvon Martin case is hitting home.
"It's sad, man," said a near-tears Larry Jackson. "It's sad."
Jackson welled up thinking about a dead Trayvon and a free George Zimmerman.
"You could give him five years, ten years, give him something," Jackson said. "Come on!"
Jackson and several other African-American men at Eddie's Barber Shop got a little off the top - and a lot off of their chests
"Trayvon didn't pose no threat," said Charles Morrison. "He wasn't looking through cars. He wasn't acting in a suspicious way or committing crimes in the neighborhood. He was just walking through the neighborhood."
The men were most deeply cut by a verdict that seems to support armed amateurs racially profiling. Khalif Omar is a Vietnam veteran and a Muslim.
"I dress like this and I come walking through your neighborhood. Does that give anyone the right to ask me, an American, what I'm doing there just because I'm Muslim?" he said.
Longtime attorney Corky Goldstein understands their frustration over the verdict.
"Did he (Zimmerman) follow him (Martin) because he was a black guy with a hood on? Would they have followed Dennis Owens if he was white and just walking? Probably not," Goldstein said.
But Goldstein says there was a proper arrest and charges. There was a trial with both sides represented, a jury and a judge. Goldstein says in this case, the legal system worked.
"Do I think justice was served as we know it in America? Yes," Goldstein said.
But in the midstate's black communities generally, and Eddie's specifically, Goldstein would have a tough time convincing the jury.
"If Trayvon would've killed him (Zimmerman), if it was the other way around, I believe he would have got the worse-case scenario from the jury," said Morrison.
Omar, the Vietnam veteran, concluded: "Justice wasn't done. It makes everything I served for in America go down the tubes."
Omar said there will be a rally for Martin on Wednesday, although the exact time and place had not yet been finalized.

A red rope guarded by police marks the "quarantine line" around the West Point slum in the Liberian capital, Monrovia.
Beyond it, more than 70,000 people are trapped -- angry, scared and increasingly hungry -- as authorities seek to halt the spread of the deadly Ebola virus.
As soon as a CNN team crossed the line, it was swarmed by people desperate to be heard.
Since the government designated the slum an Ebola quarantine zone last week, there has been no way out. Stuck without sanitation or running water, and with food supplies for many running low, people fear for their lives.
The quarantine measures were imposed after rioters looted an Ebola treatment center in the slum, claiming the virus was a government hoax.
A nurse at the center told CNN she arrived for her shift that night to find the center destroyed and not a patient to be found.
The center is slowly being rebuilt, but it lacks basic equipment and facilities. Medical workers have to wash their protective gear for reuse and have little more than a squirt of bleach to rely on.
'I'm scared of everything'
It is the only refuge for the slum's frightened residents. But the most that they can hope for is to be made comfortable while they wait either to overcome the virus -- or not.
Like many residents of West Point, Charming Fallah, a hairdresser, has to travel out of the township to make a living. She is the only breadwinner for her two children and her elderly parents.
"Right now, my mother doesn't have anything," she told CNN. "First, I was the one that provided for her. But as time goes by, she's complaining the rice is finished. I just came from my parents' house and she has nothing."
Asked if she is more scared by the disease or by hunger, Fallah replied: "Both. That's what's worrying us. The hunger, the Ebola, everything. I'm scared of everything."
Her fears are far from unfounded. Experts have described the West African outbreak, centered in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, as the worst in the history of the virus.
Doctors, nurses succumb
The World Health Organization said Monday that 120 health care workers have died in the Ebola outbreak, and twice that number have been infected.
Public health experts say several factors are to blame, including a shortage of protective gear and improper use of the gear they do have.
In a commentary released this week in the Annals of Internal Medicine, doctors from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, wrote that personal protective gear made to shield health care workers from Ebola-contaminated fluids isn't being used properly. The commentary says that even with the correct gear, a health care worker is at risk for infection if contaminated protective clothing is not removed correctly.
The Ebola virus is transmitted through direct or indirect contact between bodily fluids from an infected patient; that's why taking off the protective gear correctly is essential.
Dr. William Schaffner, chairman of the Department of Preventive Medicine at Vanderbilt University's School of Medicine, says following the proper sequence of removing protective gear can keep health care workers from infecting themselves.
The sequence is simple. You start with the gloves, then take off the eye protection, gown and surgical mask. Follow up with washing your hands.
Why is this particular sequence so important?
"Because if you leave your gloves on, and take off your eye protection first, you could pass the fluids from the gloves to your eye mucus," explains Schaffner. "No matter where you are, no matter what day of the week it is, never change the sequence of how you take the equipment off."
One or two doctors per 100,000 people
The fact that the disease has killed so many people working to care for infected patients is making it increasingly hard to combat the virus in West Africa, WHO said.
"It depletes one of the most vital assets during the control of any outbreak. WHO estimates that in the three hardest-hit countries, only one to two doctors are available to treat 100,000 people, and these doctors are heavily concentrated in urban areas."

This floor is really nice looking but man was it hard to install. Whenever we tried to smack the pieces together I had to hold them down with all my weight for them to actually groove together. They did not fit well together at all. And they chipped easily. We had a 16x18 room and it took us 2 days to finish it.

Wish that the product had a little better padding in the package some pieces were damaged otb, however useable in spots where I could cut the damage off. Instruction that come with the flooring are quite lacking they are just pictograms of what to do, but who needs instructions anyway. Table saw made getting quick and easy cuts especially when ripping the boards length ways.
Best Uses
This product was at a great price for what was needed in our basement. After installation I am very impressed with final results.
Service and delivery comments:
Home delivery was not offered at store. Had to pickup. After phoning in order it did arrive on time as per clerk at localo store. The one thing that was upsetting was I was never given an order number( even after calling and asking for it) was told they would call or email info and that never happened.
Best Uses
We used this flooring in our home and we get lots of compliments on the appearance and quality.

1 answer
A:For helpful tips & instructions; Please go to our http://www.lumberliquidators.com//brands/brands.jsp?brandName=WallsCeilings,
Q:is this product water resistant and is it ideal to put on top of concrete basement floor
1 answer
A:Yes floating laminate flooring is ideal over concrete subfloor that is flat and level with no more variance than 3/16" in 10' or 1/8" in 6'. A 6 to 8 mil poly sheeting moisture barrier should be laid for floating floors for an On or Below Grade Concrete subfloor. Overlap seams 4-6" and tape with duct tape. Overlay perimeter 3-4" up wall. Then lay an approved underlayment for floating flooring. Foam Underlayment, Eco Silent Sound, Bellawood Premium Underlayment, or Quiet Walk underlayment for floating floors.
Q:Can this be used in a bathroom?
1 answer
A:Due to the excessive moisture present in a full bath we cannot recommend any of our solid natural flooring or laminate products for this application, I would suggest one of our vinyl Tranquility products. We have a 2mm peel and stick and now a 4mm click together product that can go in full bath areas or where moisture is a concern. Thank you for your inquiry.
Q:I plan on installing a 6mm Black Forest Oak in a 3 season sunroom. I will be laying it over an exsisting indoor/outdoor carpet. Do you recommend that I use a moisture barrier?
1 answer
A:Unfortunately not, any carpet will have to be removed because it offers no moisture protection or support to the locking system..

Flip Winter the Bird with Your Very Own Vegan Boots! »
Put your sandals away kiddies, winter is here! That means it's boot season. Don't let all the Uggs and leather boots get you down, there are plenty of vegan boot options. Where? I'll tell you where! I've searched online and compiled a brief sampling of some of the superfly options available. YOU'RE WELCOME.
First up, Madden Girl Cazino tan pleather slouch boots from Alternative Outfitters. Clocking in at a lean $69, these boots are dope and I want them. Moving on!
I present, the westward bound boots for $54.99 from ModCloth. If you are concerned you can't pull these off, STOP BEING CRAZY.
Next, we got the Narmada boot on MooShoes. For $165, these riding boots can be yours! And you can pretend you own a horse! A rescue horse you saved from a life of misery in the rodeo! It'll be great.
Let's move on to "booties" as they're uncomfortably called. Vegan Chic has the Narmada boot from Neuaura for $124.99. If you don't think these are awesome, you are crazy and I feel bad for your whole family.
On the cheaper side of booties (that's what she said?), here is a lovely pair of boots for Go Jane: the leatherette buckled ankle boot. These bad boys are only $17.70.
For my last act, I am leaving you with an amazing pair of boots you cannot afford. Unless you can afford them in which case, let's get married! I'm an excellent cook and I'm great in bed. These boots, named Finn (the picture is actually of an older model with a different name, but it's the same), are made by my favorite vegan shoe company of all time, Beyond Skin. They are 100% vegan AND they are supercool about production, like no sweatshops. As it says on their site, "fret not, no humans, animals or small children were harmed in the making of our shoes." The problem isn't the shoes, it's the damn U.S. dollar! It sucks! We can't compete with the British pound! So the boots are £ 224 and according to google, today that is $368.50. Yowza. Actually, that's not HORRIBLE. They last a long time. Anyway, buy them for me! Yay! It'll be great.

The Kansas City Chiefs were the big winners today at the NFL's franchise tag deadline, re-signing starters WR Dwayne Bowe and P Dustin Colquitt while also tagging LT Branden Albert.
Following the news that Albert was tagged, the Chiefs released a statement on the move.
"Today was the league's deadline to designate a franchise player and we felt it was in the best interest of the Kansas City Chiefs to place the tag on Branden," General Manager John Dorsey said. "We will continue to negotiate with Branden and his agent to reach a deal that is mutually beneficial. We are looking forward to working with Branden in the near future."
The Chiefs and Albert have until July 15th to reach a long-term deal. If they do not, Albert will have to play under the tag or not play at all.
The Chiefs can also remove the franchise tag before July 15th if Albert doesn't sign it first. It is a leverage game and right now, the Chiefs hold the upper hand.
Albert can try to hold on to some leverage by not signing the deal but he puts himself at risk by doing so because the Chiefs could turn around and decide to draft LT Luke Joeckel. If they do so, they could then take the franchise tag off the table, thus immediately making Albert a free agent. The problem for Albert, would be that he wouldn't hit free agency until late April. By then, most of the teams willing to pay big bucks for a LT will have already made moves, thus Albert would find a much cooler market than he would have had the Chiefs not used the tag on him.
The Chiefs hold Albert's rights for the 2013 season but there is still a small chance he could end up on another team.
In my opinion, Albert's best bet is to sign the deal and work toward a long-term contract with the team.

STEVENS POINT, Wis. (WSAU) - Portage County supervisors passed their 2014 budget Monday night.
Finance Director Jennifer Jossie says after the board's changes, the 2014 tax levy will be about sixteen thousand dollars less than originally proposed, but up 2-point-1 percent over this year. "The levy is sixteen thousand dollars lower than the proposed budget. The levy for 2014 will be $25,715,728. The tax rate for 2014 will be $5.36 per thousand dollars."
The levy is just over 22% of the total county budget, which totals $116,592,867 dollars, which is $7,093,855 dollars higher than the proposed budget from County Executive Patty Dreier.
The County Board made several amendments. Supervisors added fifty-thousand dollars to continue funding the Justice Works program, which works with non-violent offenders to reduce recidivism and help mentor prisoners to get their lives on track and stay out of trouble with the law in the future.
The board also removed $16,000 dollars earmarked for EMS service in the southwestern Portage County Town of Grant.
Health and Human Services will get $40,000 additional dollars from the fund balance for one year to fund the Healthy Beginnings program.
The Aging and Disability Resource Center will receive $9,000 additional dollars for Early Memory Loss program from the county's fund balance.
Board members added 3.5 million dollars to the levy for repaving nearly six miles of County Highway X, which is a project that has been delayed for several years.

Don't Be Shady! How to Choose the Right Sunglasses For Eye Health
Written on May 29, 2012 at 7:00 am , by fitsugar
Sunglasses aren't just for complementing your bikini while you lounge on the beach. They're a must for protecting your eyes from UV damage. Sunglasses also shield the eyelids and the skin around your eyes, helping to prevent wrinkles and skin cancer. But before you run out and drop a small fortune on a pair, here are some things to consider.
- UV protection is most important: UV rays can damage the eyes causing cataracts, benign growths on the eye's surface, and snow blindness, a temporary and painful sunburn of the eye. As mentioned above, it can also lead to skin cancer around the eye, so make sure your pair guarantees 100 percent UV protection.
- Polarized lenses have nothing to do with UV protection: Polarized lenses act as a filter to absorb light waves, which helps to reduce glare that bounces off smooth surfaces like pavement or water. While they're great for offering clearer vision in extreme sun, being labeled "polarized" has nothing to do with how well they protect the eyes.
Keep reading to find out what else to think about when buying sunglasses.
