3.5 out of 5
2 Reviews
August 09, 2012
I purchased this liner to use as a lightweight sleeping bag in warm weather as well as to use as a liner when the weather gets cooler. Just got back from a backpacking trip on the A.T. in North Carolina. Nights were in the low to mid sixties and I was cold nearly every night. The large open gap on the side lets in alot of air. I felt that it provided little if any warmth at all. Maybe it works better as a liner than a lightweight/warm weather sleeping option. Also, after just one week of use, it has numerous thread pulls and snags; in total, more than a dozen. Hopefully it's still functional. However if this happened after just one week of use, I'm concerned about how long it will last. While this product, especially on sale, did not cost alot, I still expected more from Kelty. One positive point is that it is very light to carry and comes with a stuff sack.Pros: lightweight, Cons: develops numerous snags/thread pulls, doesn't provide warmth, not very durable, large open gap on side
Best investment in a long time!
July 23, 2008
Yet another great product from Kelty! The liner design is great, plenty of room to move, a fold down flap to create more comfort for height, plenty of breathing, best summer sleeping cover even for times at home!

Bucks County 1 - Into The Wild

Bucks County 1 - Into The Wild : Vance Crawford, Lance Luciano

Vance Crawford and Lance Luciano arrive in an SUV. The blue skies, sunshine, balmy air and nothing to do make a potent aphrodisiac. Lance's unbuttoned shirt seems an invitation to touch his smooth, firm chest. That's exactly what Vance does, peeling off his own muscle-T at the same time. Vance is paler and slim, with sinewy shoulders, a brightly colored ink sleeve, a ripped torso and a narrow waist with deep cum gutters leading to his bush. Lance eagerly removes the rest of Vance's clothes, buries his nose in Vance's navel then works his mouth south to the veiny, half-hard cock and low-hanging balls that await. The bulge in Lance's shorts is growing, so Vance helps him out of them. Out pops an enormous uncut cock. It looks good enough to eat and it's big enough to require two hands and a mouth. But what Vince really wants is to sink his shaft in Lance's buns. They fuck in several positions in the back of their SUV, Vance cumming first in powerful jets onto Lance's chest, then Lance shooting onto the ground. Lance's full lips invite a kiss, and he gets one.

Update, Feb. 1: City of Laurel spokesman Pete Piringer said "things went pretty smoothly" Thursday as police, public works crews, and other emergency responders worked to limit the risk posed by flooding on the Patuxent River.
Despite some leftover mud and debris, the MARC commuter lot at the Laurel train station reopened Friday morning after having been closed Thursday.
Riverfront Park was set to reopen Friday morning as well.
Update, 7:22 p.m.: City of Laurel officials say the Patuxent River is starting to recede in the area after surging significantly on Thursday.
The rise in the river's level was caused by the release of water from the T. Howard Duckett Dam made necessary by last night's heavy rains.
According to a statement from Mayor Craig Moe, the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission informed Laurel officials late Thursday that the water level at the dam had stabilized.
Further releases are expected in the coming days, but at a pace which will keep the river from spilling over onto its banks.
Moe said that the civil emergency he had declared earlier in the day would expire at 9 p.m. Laurel's emergency operations center is also set to close at 7:30 p.m.
Riverfront Park and the Laurel train station commuter lot by Lafayette Avenue will both remain closed overnight as a precaution. Moe said city officials would monitor the water level periodicially and make a decision Friday morning about the reopening of either location.
Update, 5:27 p.m.: The water level at Riverfront Park appears to have gone up by about two feet since 2:30 p.m., submerging much of the asphalt path that runs along the river.
Main Street and 7th Street (MD-216) are seeing heavy traffic at this hour as commuters avoid the closed southbound U.S. Route 1 bridge over the Patuxent.
Update, 3:40 p.m.: City of Laurel Spokesman Pete Piringer tells Patch that "two to three thousand" people are expected to be impacted by the evacuations, roadblocks, and other precautions taken by city officials around Thursday's flooding.
Follow Laurel Patch on Twitter and Facebook for updates on this breaking news. Sign up for our breaking news alerts.
Piringer also said that water levels are continuing to rise at this hour, and that the river has encroached on several homes close to the Patuxent River.
A number of cars parked in the MTA lot near the Laurel train station were also towed Thursday afternoon, Piringer said, as drivers had disregarded barricades set up in anticipation of possible flooding.
Mayor Craig Moe has been in regular contact with county and local officials from around the area, some of whom have offered the city additional support.
Emergency personnel continue to monitor roads, bridges, and other areas close to the river, Piringer said. Department of Public Works personnel are also bringing in portable lights to prepare for the evening.
Piringer said that while flooding was affected a significant stretch of the Patuxent, "no one has the environment like we do here" as far as population density near the river.
Update, 2:45 p.m.: City officials continue to monitor the Patuxent River and area flooding.
According to the latest report from the National Weather Service's Hydrologic Prediction Service, the water in the river has risen to 12 feet. This is after WSSC released water from two are dams.
Although officials suggested residents and businesses evacuate in downtown Laurel, many businesses remained open throughout the afternoon.
The water level is just touching the bottom of the southbound bridge on Route 1 near Washington Boulevard.
Although officials have not reported any rescues in the city of Laurel, two people were rescued off Route 198 in Anne Arundel County and police reported one death when a homeless woman was found dead in Maryland City.
Update, 2:15 p.m.: Officials have reopened Route 198 at 197, according to WTOP.
However, area parks like Riverfront Park are closed and residents are dealing with flooding in their backyards like homes off Avondale Street in Laurel.
Update, 1:44 p.m.: Police have barricaded roadways throughout downtown Laurel near Washington Boulevard.
The water is only to the bottom of the southbound bridge, but officials say the water could rise still.
Although many residents and business owners in the path of the flooding were advised to evacuate, many businesses in downtown Laurel remain open.
Update, 1:30 p.m.: Several roads have been closed as city of Laurel public works and police officials help residents and business owners evacuate, after Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission released water from two dams near Laurel.
According to Pete Piringer, spokesman for the city of Laurel, a flood warning is in effect for Howard, Prince George's and Anne Arundel counties due to the flooding of the Patuxent River.
Evacuations have been completed on the northern side of Main Street toward Howard County, Piringer said, and 197, 198 and a bridge Route 1 near the Howard-Prince George's county line remain closed. Traffic is being rerouted.
The city is working with the Red Cross and MEMA, opening its emergency operations center and a shelter at Robert J. DiPietro Community Center (7901 Cypress St.).
Update, 1:02 p.m.: Tracee Wilkins from NBCWashington has reported the swift water rescue of two people on Route 198 in Anne Arundel County. According to city officials it was near the racetrack.
The Route 1 bridge is closed at Howard County and Prince George's County line, according to Pete Piringer, spokesman for the city of Laurel.
Update, 12:44 p.m.: WSSC is reporting that it has released water from two dams near the city of Laurel to relieve pressure from excessive rainfall.
Water was released from both the Brighton Dam in Brookeville and the T. Howard Duckett Dam in Laurel, according to a press release from WSSC.
According to WSSC, the amount of rainfall overnight was more than double what was expected. Normally the Patuxent River is 2.4 feet when it enters the Triadelphia Reservoir, but the river reached 10.5 feet earlier today.
The commission is monitoring the level of the Triadelphia and Rocky Gorge reservoirs to determine when it should release more water and how much.
Original Post, 12:30 p.m.: City of Laurel officials declared a municipal civil emergency Thursday morning and are advising evacuations from the downtown area as the swelling Patuxent River threatens to cause significant flooding.
The move comes as the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission plans to release water upstream from the T. Howard Duckett Dam in the wake of heavy overnight rains.
"Projected releases from the Duckett Dam on the Patuxent River have increased and flooding will occur along the Patuxent River from I-95 near Laurel downstream," according to a statement from city officials.
Acting on an executive order from Mayor Craig A. Moe, authorities are recommending evacuations of all residences and businesses from Main Street north to the Patuxent River.
City spokesman Pete Piringer said people in the possible flood zone "should take action now to protect their life and property."
Laurel has opened its Emergency Operations Center, and the city is running an evacuation center at Robert J. DiPietro Community Center (7901 Cypress St.).
The intersection of MD-197 and MD-198 has also been closed due to high water. Intermittent power outages were reported around the city Thursday morning, Piringer said.
Patch will have more information on this story as it becomes available.

Postcards from Tomorrow's Data Centers
April 16, 2013 08:00 AM Today's data centers are essentially the same: long rows of metal racks stocked with machines, miles of cable, and elaborate cooling systems. But just because we build data centers this way in 2013 doesn't mean that's how it will be in ten, twenty or fifty years. Here's a few glimpses of what the future might hold, from printable electronics to nanotube processors to nuclear batteries.
Print Your Own Circuits
Photo: Printed Electronics
Image Source: Aneeve
3D printing will revolutionize the market for electronic equipment, if not the science behind it. With the right materials on hand, IT might simply print electronics for servers right inside the data center. For instance, Aneeve, a company spun out of research labs at UCLA and USC, is developing "nano enabled carbon electronics" based on nanotubes that can be printed on a carbon nanotube machine.

BKE Scoop Tank Top 11 11
best tank ever love the length, fabric is very durable and it stays in place! going to get the black one as well. February 2, 2012
nice love this tank very comfy ..would repurchase also love the length March 20, 2014
Love these tanks! I really love these tanks, I have purchased them several colors as they are a must have staple in my wardrobe. The thicker straps hide my bra straps and the longer length hides my butt when wearing leggings. I recommend them to everyone I see!!! As for the fit, I am a 8/10 top and always get a large as it seems they might run a smidge small plus I like to try to get as long in the length as possible. I also wash in cold and air dry just to make sure they don't shrink. February 4, 2014
Great tank, but some colors vary in cut. I bought this in 4 colors and love 3 out of the 4. The white one is a different cut than the black, red, and blue. It's about 2 inches wider and shorter than the rest. I returned it and ordered a new one thinking it was just a bad one in the bunch and the other one came in the same way. I had to return it again. Wasted shipping and handling for nothing. December 9, 2013
Order a size up LOVE this tank top. Its great quality and is nice and long; but definitely order a size up (at least). I have 24" waist and 29" hips and a medium was crazy tight. Next time I will be ordering a large April 21, 2013
Comfy tank, snug fit I love these tanks because thay are colorful, soft, and comfy. I am a true M in BKE, however these run a little snug. The large fits me comfortable. January 6, 2013
good tank top Great for people with long torsos! A little longer than normal tanks. September 17, 2012
Nice Fit I love the color of this top I bought it in the Surf A, HOWEVER I am 5' 3" and this top was soooooooooo long it literally almost reached my knees. And to try and tuck it in was a joke because it was so long it would come out the legs of my shorts. It was fitted but was very stretchy-so it had a great, body hugging fit. But it was so long that I ended up returning it :( July 11, 2012

The Color Blue
July 25, 2011 9:18 PM
The color of self-expression and truth
Most people claim blue as their favorite color. This is likely because it represents freedom, creative self-expression, communication, inspiration, confidence, integrity, wisdom, truth, and independence — America was built on these same values, hence, the blue in our flag.
Looking around my environment, blue is the least represented color. Here we have two bluebird salt and pepper shakers, lovingly given to me by a good friend. They hold a place of honor as my only blue treasures. The lack of blue in my environment could represent a feeling of limited self-expression. Curious!
Blue encourages creativity by producing a peaceful environment. We feel open and free to express and explore when surrounded by blue. This is important when brainstorming or conducting a focus group. People associate blue with the vastness of the sky and ocean. The color blue is linked with achievement and getting the "blue ribbon" And loyalty and dependability as in a "true blue" friend. As pink represents femininity, blue represents masculinity. It is one of the most politically correct colors with no negative connotations anywhere in the world.
Blue is the color of the throat chakra, centered around the thyroid gland. It encourages spiritual awareness, mental clarity, and imagination, representing knowledge, dignity, devotion, stability, and balance.
Physiologically, blue lowers blood pressure and body temperature. Seeing most shades of blue actually causes the body to produce chemicals that are calming. For these reasons, it is often chosen to decorate doctors' offices, waiting areas, healing rooms, and meditation spaces. Research has shown that people tend to be more productive in a blue room because they are calm and focused on the task at hand.
Conversely, blue represents cold, defeat and trouble. "I have the blues" associates the color with depression, sadness, gloom, and fear. Some shades (or too much blue) can send a cold and uncaring message. Blue is one of the least appetizing colors and should be avoided in dining areas and restaurants.
How to use blue to affect your life:
By adding blue to your environment or person, one should feel an increased ability to self-express. I had better put this into practice and add more blue to my very green and red envrionment.
Wearing blue is perfect when you need your audience to trust you and feel good about what you are saying.
When choosing what to wear to an interview, blue can help you reinforce a message of dedication, confidence, and loyalty. A warm shade of blue, like aqua or turquoise, is a great color to wear to teaching or nursing interview.
Over the ages, navy blue has become associated with steadfastness, dependability, wisdom, and loyalty, which is why it is so commonly used for uniforms with the military, police and the airlines. Navy suits are great for lawyers and other people needing to command great respect from others. Navy is definitely a power color and can be worn well at formal events.
A CEO might use a blue background when speaking to her staff about getting through the tough times, assuring them that she has a plan that will help everyone feel safer about their jobs and about the future of the company.
In the Feng Shui tradition, blue is used in the north area of the home and represents health, family, wealth, and prosperity. The color blue is most helpful in the bagua area of health and family (center left) and wealth and abundance (far left). Sky blue, used as a ceiling color, is known to assist children in performing better. Light blue is also the Feng Shui color of harmonious expansion and gentle growth; darker blue brings deep calm, serene energy.
Intentionally wearing a blue gemstone such as aquamarine, sapphire, blue aventurine, angelite, blue opal, or turquoise, encourages free flowing thought, creativity, self-expression and confidence. Blue stones are said to open the throat chakra, especially when worn as a necklace.
Choosing to wear blue says to the world, "I always communicate clearly and effectively." It also says, "I express myself freely."
Here hyacinths of heavenly blue, shook their rich tresses to the morn. — James Montgomery

History of the conflict with recent updates and developments
The conflict in the Darfur Region of Sudan began in February of 2003. At least 400,000 people have been killed; more than 2.5 million civilians are displaced. They now live in displaced-persons camps in Sudan or in refugee camps in neighboring Chad; and more than 3.5 million men, women, and children are completely reliant on international aid for survival, some of which isn't able to reach areas in Darfur. Women are raped and tortured and innocent civillians lack the most basic protection.
The Sudanese armed forces and Sudanese government-backed militia known as "Janjaweed" have been fighting two rebel groups in Darfur, the Sudanese Liberation Army/Movement (SLA/SLM) and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM). The stated political aim of the rebels has been to compel the government of Sudan to address underdevelopment and the political marginalization of the region. In response, the Sudanese government's regular armed forces and the Janjaweed – largely composed of fighters of Arab nomadic background – have targeted civilian populations and ethnic group from which the rebels primarily draw their support – the Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa.
The United States government, as well as other international entities, has recognized these atrocities – carried out against civilians primarily by the government of Sudan and its allied Janjaweed militias – as genocide.
In May of 2006 the Darfur Peace Agreement was brokered between the government of Sudan and one faction of Darfur rebels. The peace agreement has been largly ignored and inneffective and since then the violence has escalated. In August 2006, the UN's top humanitarian official Jan Egeland stated that the situation in Darfur is "going from real bad to catastrophic."
The African Union force of 7,000 is working to protect Darfurians in an area the size of Texas and its mandate has been extended until December. It needs more funding, more troops, and more support in order to be effective.
The UN Security Council authorized a strong UN peacekeeping force for Darfur by passing resolution 1706 (August 31, 2006) But the Sudanese government is staunchly opposed to the UN peacekeeping force. The Janjaweed are still active, there have also been new bombings on villages in Darfur.

Calipari speaks to leadership students
When a University of Kentucky College of Agriculture instructor in the Community and Leadership Development Program was seeking a guest lecturer to talk to her class about leadership, she looked no further than UK men's basketball head coach, John Calipari. After all, the Wildcats have been ranked at or near the top of the college basketball polls all season and have turned their fortunes around, thanks to the leadership of their first-year head coach.
Coach Calipari accepted the invitation much to the delight of course instructor Grace Gorrell.
"It showed me that one of his priorities is to connect with our students. Because there was no politics, no whatever. It was just direct communication, and he could not have been more gracious," said Gorrell.
CaIipari spent more than an hour talking with the students about leadership and taking questions from the audience, which also included students from other classes in the Community and Leadership Development program.

LETTER FROM CANADA about Michael Ignatieff. Michael Ignatieff is a journalist, a political philosopher, a novelist, the authorized biographer of Isaiah Berlin, and now the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, and surprisingly likely to be Canada's next Prime Minister. Ignatieff made his career not merely away from political office but out of the country, having spent some twenty-seven years in Cambridge, England; London; and at Harvard, before coming home, in 2005. What has led a man who has been called the perfect non-Jewish Jewish intellectual to the brink of power in a model liberal country? The writer met Ignatieff for breakfast in May in Toronto. They talked about why, at the age of fifty-eight, he had become a politician. Mentions Ignatieff's wife, Zsuzsanna. Ignatieff won a seat in Parliament in 2006, and he was ratified as leader by his Party in May of 2009. Canada is a very big country, and it is a very small country. For most of its history, the political, educational, diplomatic, and media elites have often all belonged to the same circle. In many ways, Canada is the model liberal country, with multicultural coexistence, superb social programs, and essentially no tradition of political violence. Though the Liberal Party that Ignatieff took over is now in opposition, it has long been the "natural party of power" in Canada. Most insiders think the likeliest result of the next election is another minority government, quite possibly with Ignatieff on top. Mentions his new book, "True Patriot Love." Ignatieff has written wonderfully about his father's side of the family, in the memoir "The Russian Album" (1987), telling the tales of the White Russian intelligentsia who came to Canada in the nineteen-twenties. This immigrant side buffers his mistrusted Scottish Presbyterian ancestry on the maternal side, the ultra-Anglophile Grants. Ignatieff's doubters could choose to see a sad consistency between his ambitions for Canada and his maternal family's ambitions for Canada, with the U.S. replacing Britain as the admired imperial power. Skepticism about Ignatieff's identity has been reinforced by the fact of his long absence. The real political question is whether Ignatieff can persuade enough voters in French Canada to return to the Liberals from the Bloc Québécois. The issue of national unity is overriding, and to Ignatieff the Prime Minister is secondarily a policy-pusher and primarily a unity-builder. Discusses the politics of collective rights versus individual rights in Canada. Mentions the Stratford Shakespeare Festival.

furniture delivery
Posted by on 01/02/2003
On 12/29/02 we purchased a queen mattress/box spring from Raymour and Flanigan Furniture, in Cherry Hill, NJ. We were promised a delivery date of 12/31/02 anywhere between the hours of 12:30 pm and 3:30 pm. You guessed it; no delivery! I made phone call after phone call to the store where we purchased the set, and also to the distribution center where deliveries are made from. I got nowhere! Every phone call was met with, I don't know where the truck is, I can't get in touch w/the driver, it will be there, but we don't know what time, etc., etc. Finally, at about 5:00 pm on New Year's Eve, I realized that I was not getting my mattress no matter what they said. They actually told me that the driver would continue to make deliveries until his truck was empty! Funny! They can't expect me to believe that, but they said it was true! Anyway, the store closed at 6:00 pm, but at around 5:15 the computers went down! How fortunate for them, just when I needed their help the most, but they can't help me at the store, I was told. They have nothing to do with the delivery service. I think that is pretty sad when they are supposed to be making the customer deliveries promptly! Well, my husband and I went into the store yesterday, 1/1/03 for a full refund, because we had paid by check, but we were told they show the delivery actually being made on 12/31/02! HAHAHAHA They also will not give me a refund, I now have to wait for my check to be mailed from "CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS" in the amount of $1239.14! They didn't hesitate to cash my check which I paid for in good faith two days before! This is their policy and I believe it stinks! They didn't even offer anything else! They actually called yesterday morning before I went in for the refund to see how I liked the mattress and did everything go well with the delivery! Never again will I trust Raymour and Flanigan! At a party on New Yesr's Eve, we were overwhelmed with other horror stories about this same store, so buyers beware! Thanks! email@example.com

I have never had any problems with a Raymour and Flanigan delivery...I don't think its the company's fault at all in your case, its the delivery men. One of the biggest problems is when a person delivers a piece of furniture they forget to tell the sales associate the special circumstances like and old piece being hauled away. So the delivery guys estimate a short time and they spend an hour messing around which delays all the rest of the deliveries. If you didn't receive your bed then you must have crooks for delivery men because they DO deliver until the truck is empty....why? Because the delivery men only get paid for what they deliver.
Raymour and Flanigan is a great store with great sales associates and great products. What other furniture store gives you the personal attention and free drinks at the door. Delays are bound to occur in any business....you can't give them a bad review just because your bed didn't come on the 31st....if you would have been patient it would have been there the next day.

I am writing about a purchase AT fLANNIGANS IN Olean, Ny
The sectional we bought is a Berkline and the cost was great and paid in faith. In 1 year the couch is falling apart. No one will make the deal right. We have talked to Berkline who brushed us off and Flannigans wants to rebuild the couch. The man who came twice said it can,t be fixed right and they have not gotten the right parts any way. Flannigans will replace the couch but wand us to pay 3% usage which is almost half of what we paid . We have even called the main headquarters and nobody cares. Barb

I bought a king size mattress from Raymour & Flanigan in 2006 with a 5 year extended warranty. The mattress has progressively gotten worse since day one with one side sagging. We scheduled a service call with the company and a tech came out - visually inspected the mattress and left. We got a call shortly thereafter that the mattress is not defective because it didn't have a big enough dip and there is a BIG difference between defective and comfortable. That is true customer service for you!!! Needless to say, I am pissed - a couple of grand later I have a mattress that is causing me daily discomfort and a company that could care less. I wanted to share my pain!!!
Posted by Herb Thomas on 2008-08-30:
Poor You! You bought a mattress and it was not delivered on the scheduled date. How could anyone blame you for marching right into the store the very next day and demanding your money back! How dare they not perform in accordance with the plan! After all, you are entitled to get what you paid for right away, just like every other person in this great country of ours! Why should you have to suffer the inconvenience of waiting another day or even another hour?! I say when you arrived in the store to announce your greivance the sales clerk should have fallen to his/her knees and begged your forgiveness. After all, you had to suffer the indignity of sleeping on the same old mattress you had in your bedroom for yet another night! You were right to protest! Yes, I am sure of it! Next time, make them follow you home with the truck carrying your merchandise so you can be sure to have it right away!

We purchased a Mattress from them- $1700. We bought the memory foam- Raymour and Flanigan brand- "Pisces" was the name of the mattress. Purchased it 8/2006- Within a matter of months- had sink holes where you lay. You can not turn this type of mattress over. After several calls and with some hassle- they sent someone out to verify. They came and replaced the mattress. It is now 9/2008- had the new one a little over a year. Sink holes again- and my back and body just ache every night. I am only 140 lbs- not like I am a big person. I wake up several times in the night in pain.

Horrible Place to Buy Furniture
Posted by Thp on 08/25/2005
NEWINGTON, CONNECTICUT -- I was warned, but I did not heed and now I regret it! The problems started as soon as we walked in the door and the sales lady wanted to show us everything (as long as it was top of the line). Had to search the store ourselves to find something in our budget. When we decided what we were going to buy she asked us 3 times if we wanted to take the cleaning warranty for $300, after we said NO 3 times. Then we brought up we saw an offer for no interest for 2 years and she said there was no such thing. Until of course we pulled out the newspaper ad with that day's date on it with the offer. "Oh", was her answer and then she asked if we wanted the $300 cleaning warranty again! We ordered a dining room set along with an entertainment unit that included 2 bookends, a lightbar and a console. We said we would only buy it if we could get it in a week (mind you they guarantee delivery of 3 days). She promised we would have it in 3 days (Tues), the absolute latest on Friday.
The call came in on Mon that they would deliver only the console on Tues and the rest may come in on Friday. I asked them to hold delivery of the one item so that all items could be delivered together. Ok. The manager of the Newington store then called the same day to ask us please to take delivery of the one item because he doesn't get paid unless delivery is made. Offered to waive the delivery fee. I told him no. He offered to hunt down the bookends and dining table. Called the next day and alas has found the bookends, light bar and dining table but that they released the console to someone else. I still don't understand. Anyway because I wanted him to stop calling me and was afraid if I held delivery again that they would release the other stuff I took it. Delivery came on Fri 8/19 between the hours of 9-3. Asked for the hour ahead call time so I could leave work. Called 20 min before. Delivered entertainment unit without console and dining table that had 7 wobbly chairs, 1 damaged end chair and table that they left without putting together. Asked the delivery guys about the chairs and they told me to put felt on the bottom. Said they don't put together furniture.
I then called the store manager and they should have indeed put together the table and that they would have to send a service technician to look at the chairs. I looked myself and the chairs were wobbly because the legs did not all have the circle wooden tabs, only 2 on each chair did - hence the wobbling. They set up the technician coming out on a separate day that they could deliver the console and put the table together. Came on 8/25 (called 20 min before instead of the agreed upon 1 hr before)to put the table together - guess what? Table had a chip. Was informed that they would send a technician out to repair! I told him that it was unacceptable, that I wanted a brand new table, not a brand new table that would be repaired.
So it's now 2 weeks later and I have damaged furniture in my brand new house still without a resolution. NEVER AGAIN, BUYER BEWARE!

Great (Well put together) Post - sorry to hear about your frustration. I've been there. Will avoid this company. And remember...as always...it could have been worse. They could have claimed YOU damaged the table, or that they weren't liable...or that, for religious reasons, they couldn't make a third or fourth trip back to your home. Congrats on the new house, though! Good luck - Mad Eye

I know when I get something new I want to show it off and it should look great. I'll bet because you didn't bend to there schedule they gave you the floor model. Who wants to show off new furniture thats broken.
I had my new couches delivered from Imperial and they snagged the couch on the wall coming in my house and wanted go give me a discount. They also left me with a couch with only two of the four legs on it and said they would go get me something from a different couch untill they could find them. NO WAY! You got to stay on top of them to get what you paid for.
Hope you have a nice house warming party and get to show off "perfect" new furniture.

Raymour & Flannigan Reviews - Where the customer is always WRONG, the prices are HIGH and delivery in 4-20 WEEKS
Posted by Raymoursucks on 10/22/2007
AMHERST, NEW YORK -- Raymour & Flannigan Reviews - Where the customer is always WRONG, the prices are HIGH and delivery in 4-20 WEEKS
I purchased $9,000 of furniture from Raymour & Flannigan (Amherst, NY). Customer service was OK, until they got my money. From there service was terrible. They delivered a damaged dining room table FOUR times. The delivered a non-matching ottoman, apologized and said they would replace in 4-6 weeks. I called 6 weeks later and they hadn't even ordered yet. 20 weeks later, still no ottoman. Customer service and sales people, not apologetic (must be a common occurrence).
My advice...GO ELSEWHERE unless you like high prices, later/no delivery and horrible customer service.

I worked at Raymour, its a tough gig there. In the Raymour that I worked at they had 40 salespeople on the floor. They make the sales people stand in a room called the bullpin and then dispatch them as the customers come through the door. Then you have to follow these customers until they leave the store. The whole time management is watching you. Customers dont like it.

Wells Fargo Credit Card
Posted by Chloe0601 on 06/22/2010
Had house under construction, went to Raymour and Flanigan to purchase new bed, mattress and chairs. They put it on a "1010" meaning not sure of delivery date. I had Amex gift cards to pay for my purchase, however, to "hold the sale price" they opened a Raymour and Flanigan credit card and then I could come to the store to pay with the gift cards. Took delivery of my furniture, go to the store to pay the bill in full, they don't take the payment there?? What I ask, isn't this like going to Macy's paying your bill in the store, no they advised me I had a Wells Fargo credit card because I had "good credit". Called Wells Fargo to no avail. Then I was advised to go to Wachovia Bank as they take the Wells Fargo payments. No such luck, they could not bring my account up to pay it. Call Raymour and Flanigan I requested they back the order out so I could pay it in full, they couldn't do it. So I now have Amex gift cards that were to pay the furniture in full, that cannot be used by Wells Fargo to pay my account. I could have paid for the furniture in full and never taken the Raymour and Flanigan credit card. Wells Fargo charges 25.99%, where is the "good credit" that I have. In speaking to others that have purchased from Raymour and Flanigan, it seems they have done this to others. Very angry that I was fooled and you must close this account out when you pay the bill otherwise it shows you have another Visa type account. I am done with Raymour and Flanigan.

Scam artists. Bait and switch
Posted by Wesleycrossnyc on 08/31/2010
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Scam artists. My wife and I bought a sectional sofa from the store located at 133 E14th Street, Manhattan NY 10003. It was $2050 which included $100 delivery surcharge. I wanted to finance it and Marc Silverstone who was our salesman offered us 12 months 0% finance. I mentioned that my credit score was 800 so they shouldn't have any problem getting me approved. I remember Marc made a joke that I was proud of my score. When we came to a counter to sign forms there was a place on a form where it said 25.99% APR and Marc asked me to put my initials there. Naturally I asked why it said that. He said it was an old form and it simply meant that it was going to be my APR if I don't pay the balance during the first 12 months. I signed the papers.
Trouble began when 3 weeks later they 'delivered' the furniture. They couldn't get it through the door and I have a very standard Brooklyn apartment door. I called R&F and they said that was something they couldn't help me with. I had to hire a company to get my furniture disassembled and reassembled inside the apartment for an additional $360. Not to mentioned that I had to take off from work so I could deal with that madness. I am still wondering what exactly I paid $100 for.
Then two more weeks later I got a bill from them which said 25.99% APR. I immediately called Marc at the store and asked him how come my bill doesn't say anything about the first 12 months interest free. He assured me first that it should be on the bill and that the bill also should specify the date by which the balance should be paid to avoid paying interest. I couldn't find it on the bill. He placed me on hold and when he picked up again said that I don't get 12 months at 0%, instead I get 30 days deferment of my bill and if I don't pay it within 30 days then I will be charged 25.99%. When I asked why he told me I was getting 0% financing when I asked him that multiple times during our purchase he said that he 'didn't recall such conversation'. Then he brought Drewry Penn on the phone, who introduced himself as a manager. Mr. Penn said that I was confused and misunderstood the terms. When I said that such thing as '30 day deferment' was not even mentioned when I was in the store and that I multiple times asked about the term he said 'We've got you on paper' and that 'against your word it would be Marc's and my receptionist's'. Further conversation with Mr. Penn proved to be fruitless because he continued to insist that I was simply confused (basically implying that I am an idiot) and 12 months 0% was never in the picture. I filed a complaint to BBB and am willing to go as far as sue them for misleading me and insulting me in the process. Bait and switch places should be out of business.

Wesley, thanks for posting. This is a great example of how customers are deceived by so called "honest" businesses. Come back and let us know if you make any headway with these guys...obviously, customers can trust no one any more.

Good info.
OK with filing with the bbb, but what you were told has no bearing in court vs the contract you signed. sleazy yea, but save your money and chalk it up as experience.
Posted by rockfishing on 2010-08-31:
R & F is a real sleezey outfit to deal with. We bought a kitchen table and chairs, and a new mattress. The kitchen stuff we picked up but it was pure insanity getting the mattress. First in was In stock ready for delivery. We had 3 out of stock delivery cancellations. Then they gave us a hard time cancelling the order. The refund to the credit card had ended up with me yelling in the store after getting sick of the lies. It's best to pitch a fit with these slimeballs.

what a horrible place to buy furniture
Posted by Foreveryoung917 on 09/20/2004
DEPTFORD, NEW JERSEY -- i walked in and was attacked by a salesperson. proceeded to buy 7200.00 worth of furniture. was told there would be no payments, no interest till 2007. LIE. bedroom furniture delivered 3 weeks late. 2 mattress sets i ordered broke. charged for 1 set i never ordered. have 3 different bills with 3 different amounts due. kitchen table delivered damaged. daily calls to store in deptford and warehouse. shuffled from manager to manager. and on top of all that i got a bill that i had to start making payments on furniture that was damaged. LIARS! eveyone i talked to had a different story. had to write to credit card company, B.B.B., had to get a lawyer. they even bad mouthed each other. the resolution: they came and took the furniture back ( which i wanted ). now i'm waiting for them to clear the credit card. had to date and document everything lucky i did. but it's still pending from the B.B.B. which has raymour and flanigan's listed as unsatifactory in their business dealings. it was a nightmare that lasted almost 2 months. now i have no furniture in my house . threw everything out because i thought i had found such a nice store to shop in. WRONG. the one thing i hate most in this world are LIARS.

Sealy Mattresses From Raymour And Flanigan Are Terrible!
Posted by Silly squirrel on 03/16/2009
LIVERPOOL, NEW YORK -- I purchased a full size pillow-top Sealy mattress from Raymour and Flanigan in 2004 that developed an impression of 3+ inches (making it uncomfortable to sleep on) within a year of using it. Raymour and Flanigan replaced the mattress with another one exactly like it due to "manufacture defect". The second mattress also developed an impression of 2.5 to 3 inches deep in less than a year. After calling in to notify Raymour and Flanigan that the second mattress had also failed, they gave me store credit based on the purchase price of bad mattress that I could use to purchase a different one. I ended up using the store credit towards a Sealy plush queen sized mattress. The same thing happened again with the plush queen mattress. It developed a very deep impression of about 3 inches were I slept on it within a year. As one might imagine I got annoyed at haveing my mattress fail every year. Raymour and Flanigan told me to "rotate" the mattress. This was BS since the impression was the same down the middle of the mattress rotated one way as it was the other. They replaced the mattress yet again with another one just like it that also failed and formed a deep impression in well under a year. After the second queen mattress had failed Ramour and Flanigan gave me store credit based on the price of my queen mattress to come in and select a different one.
When I came in the store to make this reselection the salesman was pushy and lied to me about what mattresses were available. He tried to talk me into getting onto a payment plan for a $2000.00+ mattress when my store credit was for $600.00 based on the queen mattress I bought just two years before. And get this; all there mattress prices had gone up. That meant that if I wanted to purchase a mattress the same as the one that failed, I would have to spend an additional $150.00-$200.00 on top of my store credit from the old mattress. I was very pee'd and ended up using my store credit to buy the cheapest Sealy queen mattress that I could find ( no thanks to the lying salesman).
At present 2009 the cheap mattress that I bought is forming a good impression. It hasn't even been 6 months since I bought it! All I really want at this point is to return the mattress to Raymour and Flanigan for a full refund ( which they don't do). I'll buy a $40.00 air mattress from Dick's sporting goods and sleep on it. At least it will never form an uncomfortable impression. If it's too soft I'll add air. If it's too firm I'll take air away. If anything happens to it I'm only out 40 bucks!

You have to call Sealy directly on this one. Its not really Raymours fault. After a certain time it reverts to the manufacturer.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-10-04:
I am getting the 'impression' that you are a large person. Honestly, there is no other explanation for you having 3 mattresses have impressions in them where you sleep. UNLESS, you bought mattresses that CONFORM to your shape. In that case, they are SUPPOSED to do that.
Posted by Brian on 2012-05-04:
Ladyscot - you're wrong. I'm 6', 180 lbs.. by no means a "large person" and have had the same problem. It's the manufacturer's fault.

I have had the same problem with R and F. Purchased a Simmons Queen Beautyrest-after 2 months 1 1/2 " depression that was starting to hurt my back-they claimed it was a mfg defect-changed with same bed-after 2 months same thing.Went to store-got upgraded bed Berringer Firm by Simmons-delivered had a tear changed that one to a Simmons beautyrest Elite-guess what...its sinking but according to R and F not enough..I wake up every morning with backaches. I now go to a chiropractor EVERY week because of it..i just want my money back-if i dont get it i will go to 7 on your side and complain! This was supposed to last me for 10 years??? yea right it didnt even last 10 months! If a company is soooo sure that there products are good supposedly stand by the product why then do i need to change my bed this is the 4th time in 1 year! Its awful! I would not recommend R and F to anyone and i dred the road i a about to enbark on just to get my money back so i can get a new mattress!!! BUYER BEWARE!!HONESTLY
Posted by bill on 2013-10-26:
All I keep reading is that Ray our and flanigan replaces manufacturers defects. They seem to be going out of their way to help people. They do not make the mattress, but sure seem to pay handlers to pick and load a replacement, and pay to have 2 men deliver and take back the mattress. Sounds like they are doing everything they can to satisfy the customer.
Posted by Brendan on 2014-01-25:
I have heard about and witnessed MANY stories just like this, especially from R and F. I'm not sure how the industry works, but I think they elect people to construct the mattresses on demand. Based on personal experiences, the stories I've heard, and what I've seen, I think they make bad choices in manufacturers. More often than not they're defective in some way from R and F - no exaggeration. And I think they should give you your money back in full. Store credit is shifty, and I think most of their salesmen are too.

"preferred customer" credit scam - misleading
Posted by Pmurf on 04/20/2010
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK -- I don't have the furniture yet but BUYER BEWARE these folks will scam you into a Wells Fargo Credit Account. They refused my Visa card and told me to get the sales price I would have to finance through Wells Fargo. Now I get the store charge in the mail. Nice! Wonder how far my FICO score has been knocked down by the extra credit!
Also really difficult to get in touch with Wells Fargo.... the dead end automated phone loop...
I will never, ever buy so much as a throw pillow at this scam joint again!!!!!!

They offered you a promotional rate if you used their financing. You didn't have to take it, but you wanted the lower price. Doesn't seem like a scam to me.

Bad Business Ethic and Rude Managers
Posted by Rdbunny14 on 02/25/2009
STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK -- My mother purchased a twin mattress from the Richmond Avenue Staten Island location of the store. The sales person was very helpful (or course he was, we were there to spend money) and eventually my mom picked out an acceptable mattress at a reasonable price, a Sealy Posturepedic Cambria Heights model. I should mention that we also went to Macy's to compare, but ultimately went with Raymour and Flanigan because of their free delivery and quick delivery date.
The mattress was delivered on time, with no hassles. However, after a few days, my mother was complaining that the mattress was too soft, and she thought that she should exchange the mattress for a firmer, more expensive model. We waited until today, 2/25/09. The mattress was originally purchased on 1/26/09. We went to he store to speak to Victor, who remembered us and told us to come with him when we explained the situation. He brought us to a woman who we assumed was the store manager. She never introduced herself, and would not speak to us directly, only to Victor.
After walking away from us, with our paperwork, she finally returned a few minutes later and told us that in order for us to exchange mattresses, we would have to pay an additional $99. This is because, as she said, they throw out the mattress, so this is them taking a loss on the product. We said, so then they throw it out? She said yes, even though it has been documented that this mattress is only a month old. In addition, we would now have to pay over $100 for pick up of the "old" mattress and delivery of the new one. Huh??But the original delivery fee was free. Before we've even upgraded we are already spending $200. We asked where in the policy this was written. She was holding a slip of paper in her hand, the one not holding our envelope, and said we should have received that information.
We told her that we didn't have it in our packet, and she then tried to slip it into our paperwork while calling us liars. At least Victor looked embarrassed and tried to get her to make a deal with us, but she basically told us that the policy stood, whether we had had it explained to us at the time of purchase or not, and to take it or leave it. She was so rude that we ended up leaving without our new mattress. This was a scam and we are so disgusted that we want everyone to know about their shoddy consumer practices, and their callousness in dealing with us.

The mattress is used, even if for only a month. I don't think thay can do anything with it other than throw it out. Most transfer stations and dumps charge a fee for disposing of mattresses.
With the large increase in bed bug infestations in recent years, who wants to take the chance on a used mattress?
(I am currently battling an infestation from a neighbor in an adjoining apartment. It ain't fun).
Sounds like a sound policy to me.
Posted by rdbunny14 on 2009-02-25:
It wasn't the policy that we objected to. And by the way, whether they tell you or not, most companies do keep the mattresses and just re-cover them. It saves them on shipping costs and materials. They have been doing this for years, and Macy's and Stern's were both sued over this issue years ago, but they still do it.
My issue was that they didn't share any of this with us until we wanted to return the mattress for a better one. Honestly, with the way they cated, I would have been more than happy to put the stupid thing on the roof of my car and bring it over myself, if we didn't need a replacement. I found their practices underhanded and shady, and the manager was openly hostile to us. This is not good policy, no matter where you go. They forget that they need us. I am making sure that they never forget.
Good luck with your infestation. I can imagine it is pretty miserable. I hope it all works out for you.
Posted by BokiBean on 2009-02-26:
I feel your pain, but mattresses are like underwear, you just don't take them back after you've had them for a month. And frankly, I've never had to have a mattress dealer tell me that.
BTW, I really DO feel your pain, I'm basically in the same situation with my mama, except that I know there's nothing to be done but listen to her complain about it. Sorry for your troubles.
Posted by NPNJ on 2009-08-11:
You expect to return a used mattress? that's gross. No they aren't allowed to recover and resell them. You even said it. If you changed your mind on such an item you can't expect the store to take the total loss. Be realistic.

Got a couch delivered with Fleas
Posted by Nannypink7 on 03/16/2010
Had a new couch delivered in the summer of 2009 and it came infested with fleas. It was delivered from the Queens, NY warehouse.
Their customer service would not pick up - I had to have people remove the couch and then rip all apart so no one else would take the couch.
They would not even give me a refund if I did not have the couch removed on my own.
My living conditions since August has been terrible. I can't seem to get rid of these fleas. It was a brand new apartment that I moved into that was totally clean.
They are a totally awful company, and everyone that I come into contact with I let them know what kind of furniture that they deliver.

Have you tried flea bombing the place? Having cats for years, occasionally I've run into flea infestation and the cans you can get at the grocery store always killed them off for me. I'm surprised you destroyed the couch. Why didn't you just get an exterminator to spray their flea treatment all over it, (and the rest of the place while there), and go after R&F for the costs?
Also, can you be sure the fleas weren't in the apartment already? Clean doesn't mean flea free. Get an exterminator now. They can rid the fleas within a day or two.

Thai >Marnee Thai Restaurant
1243 9th Ave, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9412237.765131 -122.466525
Daily 11:30am-10pm
Neighborhoods: Inner Sunset, Central West
best thai in the city – love this place! food is awesome, ambiance is awesome, service is awesome.
haha. awesome.
i love walking in the door and having my order already being put in the computer because the servers there already know what I want.
"pad thai, veggie? egg ok?"
sure is!
Will be my favorite thai restaurant forever.
Best retaurant of the area – This summer I went to Thailand, it was my first trip. At that time I eat Thai food, I loved it. After coming to my home town I feel like eating Thai food again. After a long search I got Marnee Thai Restaurant. Here I found the same food which I eat in Thailand. Cool Restaurant, Nice Atmosphere, Perfect Service. I am very very happy as if, I feel like I?m eating food in Thailand.
Best Pad Thai and Angel Wings Ever – Went to Marnee Thai due to Zagat reviews and friend's recommendations and it was the best. I recently traveled to Thailand and the pad thai's and angel wings there were not as tasteful as Marnee's. The owner might seem outspoken but once you get to know them, they greet you with a warm and loud greeting! The service is fast and the food is delicious. Been back to both locations ever since. So come with a big appetite for fast service and amazing food!!!!
Cook won Pad Thai competition in Thailand! – Living in the bay area, I have eaten at many Thai restaurants. I can honestly say Marnee Thai has the best Thai food I have ever eaten. Both locations! On top of that, this place has won more awards worldwide than any Thai restaurant I know of, including an award specifically for Pad Thai, which was won in Thailand!!!!!!! Anytime I think about going out for Asian cuisine, my first thought is here. The only time I WONT eat here is when I've had it the night before! Two thumbs up!
Awesome thai food! – I love the food here and it is nice and spicy! The appetizers are so delicious especially the imperial and summer rolls. I love the sauces that accompany the dishes especially the peanut sauces. There is only one problem it is the service cause they are too fast that sometimes you cannot finish your appetizers before your entrees. The place does get crowded but it is worth the wait!
Great Authentic Thai Food. Great Service. – I've eaten at many good restaurants in the Irving area before, but I made arrangements a week prior to my visit for a party of 20 because their website said they had a small banquet room. The staff were extremely helpful. They worked within our budget and e-mailed me a set menu for both the vegetarians and non-vegetarians in our group. We had mango salad, green beens, curry, fish, chicken wings, and roti dessert. Everyone could not stop saying how good the dinner and dessert was, and the portions were so generous that we took home several boxes of leftovers. I will definitely come back again the next time I'm near Irving.
BEST THAI RESTAURANT IN BAY AREA ! AND VERY FRIENDLY PEOPLE – I have been coming to Marnee Thai for years and their food is consistently wonderful and the service is very quick and friendly. I strongly recommend this place.
All I can say is that everytime my family or friends come to San Francisco, we always have to stop by Marnee Thai Restaurant either the one on Irving or the one on 9th Ave.
Marnee Thai is the best Thai food in the BAY AREA. I am not surprised that they won so many competitions. Marnee Thai food is to die for and very authentic and inexpensive.
Overrated Thai Restaurant – from all the great reviews i decided to give this restaurant a try. i had the calamari salad, pork green curry, and the bbq chicken. The bbq chicken was the best tasting of the three dishes. calamari salad didn't have that kick (usually a strong sour and spicy taste) like what i'm used to and the green curry was very bland. as for service, one of the worst i've experienced at a restaurant. our dish were taken away though we were not done eating, and after our meal we were asked to leave because of waiting patrons outside. i do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. there are plenty of good thai restaurants in the city that i would recommend, Ohsa is one.
Best food and atmosphere – Service is excellent, especially the owner is very nice. I love the all the food we had especially Phad Thai and Tom Yum Koong. Very friendly service and we love the atmosphere very much. We will be their regular customers for sure.
This place made me stunned !!!!! – My friends and I had a chance to visit Manee Thai on 9th avenue last week. Their waitress kindly seated us at the beautiful back room where will be opened only the place is filled. It was a busy night, so many people enjoyed their time along with wonderful meals. We tried angle wings and corn cakes as our appetizers. They made us stunned when they served them !! Good texture and the taste is definetly good. The entr'ees are wordless too describe; fortunately, we didn't miss the Mango sticky rice and Fried banana with ice-cream which they call FBI. I just wonder when will they have IRS. I will personally eat the whole plate of it : )
