Nevada Museum of Art – Tiffany Exhibition
I had the pleasure of going to see the Tiffany Exhibition yesterday at our own Nevada Museum of Art. How lucky we are to have this first class Museum in Reno. In collaboration with the University of Nevada, Reno School of the Arts, the Museum presents a music performance series interpreting and responding musically to the 3 Tiffany era exhibitions on view through May 20th.
I saw 20 exquisite lamps by Tiffany Studios and other lamp manufacturers of the Art Nouveau era. They are all from the collection of Dr. Byron Vreeland. The colors are fantastic and the entire display is shown on a huge dragon fly built with oak counter tops to show the lamps at their best. In Company with Angels; 7 rediscovered Tiffany Window are magnificent. Found in an old barn after being stored there for years they were salvaged, cleaned and once again can be seen and enjoyed. The arms from the Robert M. Lee collection features the finest-known collection of privately owned Tiffany & Co. arms.
Ticket for the show can be purchased at www.nevadaarat.org

Your Rights as a Propane user
Did you know that if you use Propane in areas like: Many part of rural Nevada, Galena Forest Estates, Scotch Pines and higher up the Mount Rose Highway, you have the ability of using varies different companies. You have a few rights that you might not know about.
You can change dealers if you are dissatisfied with either the price your dealer is charging or the service you are receiving.
Obtain the current posted price for propane and any additional charges that may apply to its delivery. Know at the beginning of the day that a price change might take effect.
Know the annual tank rental fee and you can own your own tank and regulator.
48 hours prior to disconnection of service you have to be notified.
The person working on your tank has to be LP-Gas licensed by the LP- Gas board.
If you decide to change dealers they have to remove their tank within 30 days, after you have notified them in writing. What ever propane is left in your tank after being measured is refundable to you as is the remaining rental fee. This should be refunded to you within 15 days at the price you paid for it.
Here are a few questions to ask before you choose a dealer: Are there written descriptions of services that will be provided, is there a charge to install/service tank, are you to be on a schedule or do you have to call first, will it cost extra if you call for service outside of your normal schedule, how am I priced… on annual use, area, quantity or other criteria, does the dealer offer discounts that apply to you, and does he offer equal payment plans.
