Computer Tree
At ComputerTree, we provide computer training to customers of all ages and interests. It is always interesting to see how people use today’s technology to enhance their lifestyles.

The couple’s daughter, Helen from Philadelphia, gave them an Apple iPad as a Christmas gift.
Ace Hardware
Traditionally,when we think of the hardware store, we think of men like Tim Taylor from the old Tool Time television series, or thoughts of the “helpful hardware man.” It was a place for men to congregate and talk shop. The new Cloverdale Ace Hardware Store, however, introduces a whole new experience to ts customers that is equally enticing to their women customers as well.

Rick was a mystery to me. He’d been in prison a good while, and had a bone-deep wariness about him. I often wondered what he thought about things, how he felt inside; while always polite, he was hard to read. I was with four inmates from A New Leash on Life, a North Carolina Department of Correction program at the Forsyth Correctional Center. We were waiting for “clicker” training instruction from an expert.
