Let's go back a little, my house have 3 bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen eating area. I had hardwood flooring put into my living room and hallway when I 1st brought the home. The kitchen was laminate wood, which after awhile I started hating. So I wanted to put hardwood flooring in the kitchen and my master bedroom, I wanted the colors to match well as close as they could. I have something like natural oak flooring. Now on installation day when the guys showed up and I requested that they do the carpet 1st since I have already cleared out those 2 rooms. They told me that they only do wood flooring and that another group would come and do the carpet.
This was unknowing to me since Empire didnt mention that when I setup the appointment. They brought in the sample to show me and it was way off from what the rep told me that I was going to be. Not only was the color of the size was off as well, they brought 2 1/2 size but the wood I already had was 3' wide. They made some call them left since the product was wrong. Since flooring had issues they went ahead a cancel the carpet installation without asking me what I wanted to do. A couple hours later the rep was able to get them to upgrade my product and arrange for the product to ship over night from Atlanta to Nashville.
So the next day 16 Feb 2013 Saturday I received a call from the Nashville manager saying that the flooring didnt make it on the truck so they wouldn't be able to come out since they didnt have to product. Talk about being "P' off, I had miss a whole day off work now I didnt get anything accomplished at all. They wanted to reschedule but I told them I would call them when I am ready to reschedule. I called to reschedule on Monday 18 Feb 2013 for Saturday 23 Feb 2013. I specifically ask that they send out the carpet installer 1st and was told they would put it in the note. The day of the installation 23 Feb 2013, the carpet guys showed up but they forgot their paperwork. Anyway the carpet color looked correct so they when ahead and install it. They were pretty quick and was done in less than 2 hrs. So here I am waiting for the wood floor to show up, at around 1pm I call the rep and ask him what time will the other guys be showing up. He said that he would call and find out what's going on.
After he call me back, he told me that the wood was schedule for next Saturday 2 Mar 2013. I really couldnt believe what I was hearing, how in the world could they mess up my installation again. I was so infuriated at the time tears stared to run down my face. The rep told me there's nothing that he could do since the office is usually close on Saturday and that I would have to call them on Monday. This infuriated much more, therefore after I calmed down I called customer service and cancel the rest of the installation.....moral of the story is really bad service from this company....my overall satisfaction -5 on a scale of 1-10.....how in the world do you schedule something for a customer when they didnt require that scheduling, guessing they know my schedule much better than I do.."EXTREMELY" bad service I will never use them again or recommend anyone I know to use their service. I should have listen to my dad's when he told me to cancel when they messed up the 1st time. WORSE SERVICE EVER!!!!

This is the week where fantasy owners get to stuff their faces with turkey, stuffing and plenty of hockey action; more on that later in the roster trends. Here are some of the players we are giving #HockeyThanks for in the fantasy world so far.
A healthy Sidney Crosby is where he belongs near the top of Yahoo fantasy rankings and it sure looks like there is no slowing down No. 87 on the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Even though he hasn't scored a goal in 10 games, the reigning Norris Trophy winner, P.K. Subban of the Montreal Canadiens, is the top-ranked fantasy defenseman with his 10 power-play points and 78 shots.

Sketchy in Olde TownPosted Aug 12, 2014
Arrived to a "nonsmoking" room reeking of smoke. Was supposed to have a pullout couch/roll away. Lock on door was broken as was the air conditioning. The carpet was sticky. The bed linens were clean at least. Staff were scarce and not very helpful. The one apparent employee besides the front desk person was smoking a cigarette and studying my daughters and I as we unloaded our bags. When I asked for a solution to the room situation I was told that they were full but they could spray deodorizer for us. The room then smelled of orange oxy clean and cigarette smoke. That room had not been nonsmoking in some time. Had it not been so late I would have found another place. Now, my kids have "sketchy town, USA" as part of their vacation experience.

Was very disappointed in breakfast. No cartons of milk. Bagels were hard and tasted old. Cream cheese hard. No yogurt. Eggs were powered or appeared to be. We go to that area at least twice a year and will be looking at staying somewhere else.....

Not worth the money $80Posted Feb 5, 2014 on Hotels.com
I was so dissatisfied that I left as soon as I could (after one night) and asked for a refund on the other two nights I had planned to stay based on the 4.0 rating I read that the hotel had. I got a nearby hotel for nine dollars more with two meals. This Comfort Inn Old Town Portsmouth, VA is probably rated 4.0 because of its location to the hospital which most people who stay there find convenient and perhaps rate it high for that reason. Or perhaps, when you book through a third party (which I did) they give rooms that are not of good quality because people get a discount and do not come directly to the hotel to book.

The IPM Institute of North America has a review of five commonly encountered pests, including bat bugs (pictured), that can be misidentified as bed bugs.
The IPM Institute of North America has a review of five commonly encountered pests, including bat bugs (pictured), that can be misidentified as bed bugs.
1. Spider Beetle. Spider beetles are the shape and size of fleas, oval and dark brown. They may appear bloated and reddish brown, as if they had just fed on human blood. Au contraire! Spider beetles typically feed on goods found in household pantries during the night or in dark locations, and are not blood suckers.
2. Cockroach Nymphs. Cockroach nymphs hide in cracks and crevices preferring to stay close to food, warmth and moisture. They are most active at night. They appear white immediately after hatching or molting, and quickly turn a reddish brown, much like a bed bug. However the cockroach nymph is more like the shape of a cylinder, whereas a bed bug is shorter and oval, or apple-seed shaped. Exposure to cockroaches can lead to asthma and trigger asthma attacks, good reasons for using IPM to prevent problems with these pests, and to act effectively if they appear.
3. Booklice. Booklice are commonly mistaken for bed bug nymphs. They are smaller in size, ranging from translucent white, to gray or brown in color. They can often be found under wallpaper and along the sides of windows and window sills. Their primary food source is fungi, pollen, mold and fragments of dead insects.
4. Carpet Beetles. Although carpet beetles are small, round and brown they have distinct wings. Their larvae look like furry caterpillars. Carpet beetles do not bite, but allergic people can experience welts if exposed to their tiny hairs. Carpet beetles can damage fabric, furniture, carpeting and clothing that contain natural animal fibers.
5. Bat Bugs. Bat bugs are very similar in appearance to bed bugs and are best identified by an expert entomologist with a microscope. The primary difference is the longer length of fringe hairs located just below their head. Also, as their name suggests, they feed on the blood of bats, commonly found in attics. If bats are eliminated and bat bugs left behind, feeding on humans and pets can occur.
The IPM Institute also recommended that people can brush up on bed bug identification by accessing FMC's "A Visual Guide to Adult Bed Bug Anatomy."
A new study from Penn Medicine researchers in the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics demonstrated that bed bugs, like the triatomines, can transmit Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease.
The program enables pest management professionals (PMPs) to evaluate ActiveGuard Mattress Liners in real world applications.
Ronnie Caldwell, president of Innovative Pest Management, Denver, N.C., is one of the stars of the new Bruce Hedrick video 'A Better Man.'
The country has detected its first domestic case of the painful mosquito-borne viral disease chikungunya in the southwest of the country, the state government of Chiapas said on Saturday.
The company's 1st Bi-Annual Thermal Remediation Bed Bug National Conference will be held March 8-10, 2015 in Grapevine, Texas.

The Order of the Jedi: Title for Star Wars Episode VII Revealed?by Tyler Johnson at . Updated at . Comments
The past week has seen a storm of rumors, speculation and official announcements regarding JJ Abrams' upcoming addition to the Star Wars franchise.
First, confirmed cast members were revealed, then it was reported that Zac Efron and Lupita Nyong'o will also be starring in Episode VII.
Now, a Twitter user who claims to be have ties to the production has leaked a slew of new rumors about the highly anticipated film:
First, and most importantly, the source (who apparently unleashed a barrage of tweets then promptly deleted his account) claims to know the full title of the movie:
Star Wars VII: The Order of the Jedi may sound like some sort of Hogwarts/Hoth hybrid fan fiction, but the quickness with which the potential title was scrubbed from social media has led many to believe that that is indeed the film's proper name.
Other very possibly BS rumors leaked by this mysterious, Sith-like super fan include:
- Luke Skywalker will now be an Obi Wan Kenobi-like mentor figure
- Princess Leia is now "Queen Regent of the Republic"
- Han Solo is "High Commander of the Republic"
- The bad guy will not be a Sith Lord
- A press release unveiling other major plot details is scheduled for May 4th
Get it? May the 4th be with you? Good one!
The mystery tweeter also confirms earlier reports that Daisy Ridley will play Han and Leia's daughter in the film.
Check out the gallery above for the other new additions to the cast.
Nothing new there! All that same 'guesswork' has been tossed about and debated by fans for ages now.
A "mystery" tweeter who deleted his account isn't really "confirming" anything.
Episode VII: The Order of the Jedi? That is a stupid title! 1.) You can't use Jedi in the title, it was already used for Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, you're just repeating titles now.
2.) You said "the" twice; The Order of the Jedi. You couldn't just said "Order of the Some Other Word Than Jedi"?
so kids will be entertained?
I'm not buying it. Zac Efron is not going to be in the movie.

November 27, 2014
JANESVILLE (AP) -- Janesville police are trying to determine who shot a calf, took the meat and left the carcass behind.
The calf, weighing about 400 pounds, was shot with a small-caliber bullet and then slaughtered sometime between noon on Saturday and when it was found at about 6:30 p.m. on Sunday.
The calf's mother was found bellowing near its offspring.
Ochs Cattle, of Milton, owns the cow and rents the grazing land on which it was found.
Owner Ron Ochs says company personnel will now be on high alert, and they will step up patrols.
The calf was bred for showing and valued at about $1,000. It was born in February.
Ochs Cattle owns about 250 beef cattle that graze all over southern Wisconsin.

James Gattuso handles regulatory and telecommunications issues for The Heritage Foundation as a Senior Research Fellow in its Roe Institute for Economic Policy Studies.
Prior to joining Heritage in 2002, he was Vice President for Policy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. In that position, he oversaw the institute's policy work, and supervised the overall management of the organization. Before that, Gattuso served as Vice President for Policy Development with Citizens for a Sound Economy from 1993 to 1997, where he directed the research activities for that organization.
Gattuso also has served in the federal government. From 1990 to 1993, he was the Deputy Chief at the Federal Communications Commission's Office of Plans and Policy. From May 1991 to June 1992, the FCC detailed him to the office Vice President Dan Quayle, where Gattuso served as Associate Director of the President's Council on Competitiveness.
Gattuso is currently serving his second tour of duty at Heritage. From 1985 to 1990, he was a Heritage policy analyst with a responsibility for a broad range of issues, including telecommunications, transportation and antitrust policy. Before coming to Heritage the first time, he was an associate with the Washington law office of Squire, Sanders and Dempsey, where he handled matters before a number of regulatory agencies.
In 2002, Gattuso's work on government bailouts and free markets earned him the prestigious Drs. W. Glenn and Rita Ricardo Campbell Award. It is given to the Heritage employee who has delivered "an outstanding contribution to the analysis and promotion of a Free Society."
Gattuso graduated magna cum laude from the University of Southern California in 1979. He received his law degree from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1983, where he was a member of the UCLA Law Review. He is a member of the California and District of Columbia bars and is the author of a number of articles written for newspapers, magazines and journals.

Why I'm staying: replying to CNN's 'Why millennials are leaving the church'
For From DC to BC
Editor's note: This post by Sarah Shumway originally appeared on her blog, From DC to BC. It has been shared here with the author's permission.
As a part of the "millennial" generation, I read CNN's religion blog post "Why millennials are leaving the church" with great interest. The author explains how churches are trying to appeal to my generation through casual services, pastors in skinny jeans, and coffee shops in the meetinghouses — at the cost of teaching what constitutes the heart of Christianity. With the ongoing cultural wars, pretentiousness, and seeming exclusivity, young people my age are struggling to find Jesus when they go to church.
Reading this article made me think carefully about how my faith, the Mormon church, is instituted. While I admit that our church leaders have their own struggles in retaining some who are my age, I think that the Mormon institution solves many of the problems that other millennials experience when attending church. This is my list so far, though it is hardly exhaustive:
1. We are taught to view our fellow members as our brothers and sisters.
Just as we don't choose who our siblings are, neither do we choose whom we will worship with (it's all contingent on location). In fact, the first feature a visitor to a Mormon congregation may notice is that we address our fellow members as "brother" and "sister." This practice consciously reminds us that we should love and accept others in our faith as part of an extended family — regardless of socioeconomic background, political affiliations, race, etc. To partially accomplish this, our bishop (our congregational leader) assigns each member to visit fellow members at least once a month to share a spiritual message, as well as watch over their spiritual and physical welfare. Moreover, we feel a sense of responsibility in helping our fellow members who may be experiencing health difficulties, family crises or just need an extra hand with housework. I believe that this setup has taught me to be more loving and accepting towards others, as well as emulate Christ's behavior in my life.
2. We are asked to participate in a given capacity to help the congregation.
Every member is given a "calling" or responsibility to help sustain the congregation's needs. While being a member, for example, I have had callings that range from directing the ward choir, planning monthly activities for more than 200 people and arranging musical numbers for church meetings. It has not always been easy balancing these callings while pursuing graduate studies and working part time. But I believe that my personal efforts to assist my congregation has reminded me that religiosity is far more than simply attending church; it requires sacrifice on my end. Moreover, since Christ spent his life serving others without worry of "purse or script," I am grateful that I can learn to become more like my Savior through serving his children.
3. Having an unpaid clergy, our church leaders are refreshingly sincere.*
Being a bishop or a Mormon church leader can be emotionally and physically exhausting. Without monetary gain, however, I know that my leaders are serving me because they genuinely care for my well-being. I don't expect my church leaders to be perfect (see my previous post on this), but their efforts to do the best they can for my sake makes me greatly appreciative of them in my life.
4. We are taught to ask questions.
Joseph Smith's first vision (and subsequent visions) occurred because he had a question to ask God. One of our books of scripture, the Doctrine and Covenants, is a collection of revelations based on someone's question. Moreover, we are taught to seek for personal revelation from God, through asking God questions in our prayers, or through searching for answers in our scriptures. In some ways, I would argue that the heart of Mormonism is asking questions. I would also say that my faith has helped me answer the deepest yearnings of my soul.
5. Our doctrine is not a laundry list of what we can and cannot do.
Ultimately, we believe that we are on this earth to return back to God, who is our Heavenly Father. While our faith, actions, as well as certain ceremonies play a significant role in our salvation, God ultimately judges us by our hearts. Our church, then, strongly emphasizes a gospel that is based on becoming like Jesus Christ.
These are my thoughts so far. Please respond as to why you are staying in your faith either on my blog or on social media, using the hashtag #whyimstaying.
*In no way did I mean to offend those of other faiths who have paid clergy. I have definitely seen exemplary leaders of other faiths show genuine sincerity to their congregations. I am only speaking from my own experience. For me, knowing that my leaders are working for my sake without any thought for monetary gain is a strong indicator of their sincerity.

Experience a Victorian Christmas
In many ways the Victorians invented Christmas.

Go back through the centuries to the Tudor era to see how the merchant and his family would have celebrated Christmas at the Tudor Merchant's House in Pembrokeshire (6-28 December 2014) or help decorate a Tudor manor house for Yuletide at Little Moreton Hall in Cheshire (29-30 November 2014).
You can also learn about Tudor Christmas customs at a seasonal lecture at Uppark House in West Sussex (11 December 2014) or why not pay a visit to a Tudor Father Christmas at Trerice in Cornwall (13-14 & 20-21 December 2014).
Christmas through the ages
Take a trip to Christmas past with a medieval Christmas at the Brockhampton Estate in Herefordshire (6-7 December 2014) or celebrate Christmas at different stages in history at Dunster Castle in Somerset (7, 13-14 & 20-21 December 2014).
Compare an Edwardian Christmas with today's traditions at Kedleston Hall in Derbyshire (6-7, 13-14 & 20 December 2014) or find out what Christmas was like on the front line during the First World War at Sutton House in London (30 November 2014).
You can also get into the spirit of a 1920s Christmas at Nyman's in West Sussex (1 December 2014-6 January 2015), a 1930s Christmas at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk (15-16, 22-23 & 29-30 November 2014 & 6-7, 13-14 & 20-21 December 2014) and a 1940s Christmas at Felbrigg in Norfolk (12-14 December 2014).

This is the most important thread on the landing strip
Wow. Didn't know this.
And I just bumped the "World According to SuperNewb" thread in the Everything Else forum last night!
Because he's a troll, every post amounts to nothing more than pure jibberish
I know its a nice novelty act and some people think its cute, but if you don't have anything to say other than nonsense you're just cluttering up the board with nonsense
But then again I'm sure some would say in that case I should start by banning myself
Super Newb was totally original and hysterical. He wasn't hurting anyone.
if greeen jetz and ham wuz ananimal he'd be a bacon
Now I'm missing YeastInfection...
