They called to because they wanted me to set up a Dyson Vacuum display inside of a Fred Meyer Store. I was called on 11-16-2012 on a Thursday. Exactly one week before Thanksgiving. The job entailed my company setting up a Dyson display inside Fred Meyer. It was laid out with little information from the owner Theresa.
Now my company usually does not work with 3rd party Maintenance companies, just due to the lack of getting paid. There is a little saying in this business The bigger the Company the harder it is to get paid!" Theresa was very nice and just minimized the job as simple and no more than 2 hours! She said she would pay $120 to complete. [continued below]....
par with our company hourly rate of $ 54 per hour.
I explained we were a net 30 company and to send us the new vendor packet and I will get it filled out. This includes the W-9, Liability Insurance naming the company as a holder, etc. She explained that she had 1 store and needed it done ASAP, I told her give me till Monday.
Once I arrived onsite it took 30 min to even get in touch with the person that knew what was going on. You have to find the manager of the home department and tell him "hey I need display space to put up this Dyson display" Once he determines where I can put it finds the boxes that contain all the display equipment we are 1 hour into it and the job has not even began! I call the office to alert Theresa that this is going to take longer than 2 hours as allocated. I get an answering machine and leave a message.
So now I unpack the 3 large boxes that contain the display set up, imagine 3 boxes that contain a 60" TV. So they are large boxes just for a reference point. Finally boxes are all unpacked and display material is assembled! Now we are at 2.5 hours and setting up the display on the actual sales floor has not began.
Theresa the owner is 3 hours ahead of me and is not answering the phone. So what do I do? Clearly this job is going to take longer than the 2 hours. The smart thing to do would be to call the company and tell them whats going on and hey its going to take more time which is going to cost more money right? But remember they are not answering.
The Fred Meyer Home Manager just broke down the Eureka display to give room for me; I have a freaking mess of Dyson stuff all over. Do I just leave? Seriously, as you read this what would you do? Well I said I gave her my word I would get this done and I will just tell her " hey this took longer than what you allocated the job for and just put my faith in her that she
would pay me the additional labor that was required to complete the job. How do you think that went? Exactly no chance right! Yep instead she asked me to complete another Fed Meyer Store 40 miles away! I tell her it will be an additional $60 dollars and she agrees. I ask her to please send me the revised work order that reflects the new amount of $180 dollars not the $120.
What do you think will happen if I never got the $180 in writing? I wouldnt get paid. Mind you I am asking for this on Monday 11-19-2012. I NEED THE REVISED WORK ORDER or I cant start the job. She wants it done by 11-21-2012 Wednesday. I never receive the new work order, am I suppose to drop my Thanksgiving plans and just go do the work? This company already cheated me out of added labor, so I think not.
Thanksgiving comes and goes and I get an e-mail on Monday the 11-26-12 from Theresa's Husband part owner Chris Bradner wondering whats going on why isnt the 2nd store completed. It was a pure blame e-mail telling me I was contracted to do something and I was not fulfilling my obligation etc. I replied send me the revised work order for the $180 bucks, I have been waiting for it for 5 days.... I even had my office manager call him.
My office manager has been with me for 7 years and said this guy was rude, aggressive, manipulative, and she had a bad feeling. Usually when you have had these types of encounters this early on is indecisive of what will transpire when it comes time to getting paid.
Finally the revised work order comes in on Wednesday 11-28-2012 with the authorized amount changed from $120 to $180 however it states HUGE bold letters work must be completed by 11-28-2012. If you are following this at all the work was to be done on Thursday 11-29-2012. So why is he writing this work order like that. Where there is smoke there is fire right?
So my office girl calls asking him to change this and immediately Chris gets extremely defensive and is questioning why we care you can hear his wife Theresa in the background getting upset.
All because we want the paperwork to be accurate to the job, cost and date? What is wrong with that? Next we start getting threatening e-mails from Chris Bradner from everything how we will be removed from ALL vendor lists, denial of payment, blasts against our company that are untrue.
All for what?
Because we tried to work with a disorganized company, we get punished and denied payment? I mean what a horrible outfit! How can you be so angry and mean to people that want to help your company, and then trash us and threaten us with payment. Its wrong.
If you see this company CPM Solutions or Theresa Bradner or Chris Bradner run. It is not worth the headache and the expenses they will cost your company. They strike me as a fly by Night Company as well, their lack of logo, lack of website and only cell phones should have made me think of this in hindsight but you just dont want to believe that people are so cruel and hurtful. Cost of doing business I guess.

we had the same issue
AUTHOR: nchandymansolutions - ()
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, October 29, 2014POSTED: Wednesday, October 29, 2014
We had the same issue, if you look on your work order, does it say they are under another company? ours said atlantic fixtures on the sign off so I simply went to: americaninstallationcompanies.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=67 and emailed them what was going on, any dates, contact info, etc is helpful! This had been going on since last May, once I contacted Atlantic CPM had us a check overnighted with a tracking number provided, we are now paid in full. I hope this helps you as well!

The called my company back about a year ago ,and it was a total waste of my time, I had the same difficulties with Chris and his wife on getting answers and getting paid. I had to raise my voice and get red with them to pay me. I'll never do work for them ,they evidently are running a scam. makes me wonder why are these other companys doing business with them? I'm sure we will see more report on them in the future if they are still around.

Product Reviews
I really love this piece however it is smaller than I thought. I am still happy with it and will continue to shop with Acorn when something takes my fancy.
A fabulous series!! THe quality of the 3 season collection of 'Downton Abbey' which we recently ordered from Acorn is excellent, and we could not be more pleased with our purchase. It was an investment price-wise, but is providing us with many hours of super high level entertainment at our leisure and choice of timing.
I really like the crystals - especially with the sun shining on it!
This is much better than the butterfly vase. Kathleen
Very pretty but much smaller than I thought it was a litle disappointed
Smaller than I expected but provides beautiful rainbows when sun is shining.
Very pretty. I did not hang it yet but held it up to light. Lots of rainbow colors.
Bought for daughter after having purchased one for myself and another daughter last year. Love it and sit in a rainbow of colors in my kitchen each morning that the sun is shining. Guests and family are amazed at the rainbow of colors flickering all over my walls and floor.
Even though it is small, it sends prisms of light all over the living room when the sun hits it, just beautiful.
I was impressed with the quality of the crystals. As a feng shui consultant, I search for products with excellent chi , energy, , and this is a wonderful crystal item. Think the price was a bit high but am quite happy with the purchase.
The crystal was beautiful. Can't wait to see colors in the sun. Just wish a mistake wasn't made when shipping and it had arrived in time for Christmas, as it was a Christmas gift.
I love these Crystals, they are gorgeous and high quality, and will make nice gifts!
Just what I was looking for!
Beautiful piece, but read size description well-picture gives impression of larger item, size includes the chain to hang it by-so item was ALOT smaller than I thought. Still beautiful though!
Bought for my daughter in L.A. who has it hanging in a window in her office. She loves it, and the colors it emits on her walls.
Very nice little gift, produces enchanting rainbows all around the room!
The person I bought this for loved it.
Sun catcher is very pretty, but a lot smaller than I thought it would be. I don't know why someone would make such an attractive item so small.
Have always loved the effect these kind of items give when placed in the sunlight... like hundreds of tiny diamonds glistening all over my walls.
GAve this to a coworker and retiree. It's beautiful and she loved it.
I like the idea of making rainbows with light in a favorite window. It's a happy gift.
This crystal gives off so many prism lights from our window that it is blinding. Very pretty hanging there as well.
I bought this fir my mom and she thought it was very pretty.
I read the other reviews and purchased on the strength of the positive remarks, but I was truly disappointed in the overall size of the prism and the crystals. The photograph does not place it in a context to gauge the scale of the item. My son requested a prism for the south-facing front window of his new home. I'm adding to the gift some antique prisms from an old chandelier in hopes that the desired effect will be achieved. It certainly is a pretty bauble but I believe its price is high given the quality.
i am still waiting to recieve the austrian crystal rainbow maker. i did receive the chest i ordered but never received the austrian crystal rainbow maker. will not likely every order from acorn again.
Never saw the product. Had it shipped to recipient, who got it on time, in good shape, and loved it.
Who wouldn't love this rainbow?! I do wish that there was a way to have an option on the chain length, but I don't see how that could easily be addressed.~
It's beautiful Crystal however the large clear ball is unattached from the chain and there's no connector to put through the ball to attach to the chain, I'll have to produce something to use to attach the ball to the rest of the Crystals. I like the item but I would like to have received it the way it was advertized.
Too small ! would be really nice if the size could be doubled.
Find a sunny window, hang up the crystals and you will have wonderful colorful rainbows all over the room.
And if I hadn't remembered I'd ordered it, I would have thrown it away...you need to improve your packaging.
It arrived with one of the crystals smashed and it was much smaller than I had anticipated. Acorn was great refunding my money in a timely manner.
does sparkle in the sun,but way to tiny to be noticed. first disappointment from acorn
I love crystals especially Austrian. I wish you had more.
Because since I bought it we have not had much son even though we had a lot of warmth it was cloudy, so as of right now have not seen much color floating through my living room.
Love it...exceptional colors
My wife loves this Christmas present. The rainbows bring some warmth into our frigid, winter day.
My wife loved the Rainbow Pendant. She was a member of the Rainbow Girls in her youth. The Rainbow Necklace she had then was stolen. This Pendant provided her with some fond memories.
Your rainbow maker is a joy. Gives some color to the shorter days in winter. I love mine and have given them as gifts. Thank you for the rainbow maker.
I live in Hawaii where rainbows are almost a daily occurrence. I love them and am so grateful for them, but I wanted a little more - I wanted to bring them inside. This beautiful rainbow crystal allows me to do that! So beautiful!
I bought the rainbow maker for my 85 year old mother. This present made her smile. She has an enclosed/glassed porch and will gets tons of pleasure from it.
It is a charming little prism however it is much smaller than anticipated. I had been looking at ones locally for the same price and felt I would have made a better choice if I had bought from a local source where I could judge scale easier
The first one I got was not in good condition, but the 2nd try item is perfect and looks just like the photo.
every thing is fine, I have no dislikes, the quality of the crystal was particularly impressive.
I have this in the kitchen window above my sink and when it gets full sunlight, makes rainbows in various areas.
It is beautiful, but it was much smaller than I anticipated.
It was much smaller than I thought it was going to be. But it is on the window and have a lot of rainbows so I kept it. Kind of expensive for such a small one.
much too small to be of any use, magazine display was misleading
The picture makes the rainbow make look much bigger than it really is. The rainbows are not as spectacular as the picture shows as well.
Bought for a gift. A little smaller than hoped for, but absolutely gorgeous. Waiting for the sun to appear in midwinter Illinois.
It was a bit smaller than I thought it would be, but is very pretty in the window. Haven't heard yet from those to whom I gave them as gifts.
Bought this for a Christmas present for my niece. I know she will like it. The quality is great just, as I said, a little smaller than it looked in the catalog.
This is a very pretty piece. All the crystals glitter in the sun. Just lovely.
I purchased this item for my niece and nephew to give to my sister at her wedding. When my sister opened the package, sparks really flew everywhere. The reception was in a restaurant decked out for Christmas and the light was just right. Everyone ooohed and aahhhed.
I thought this would be perfect for our niece who has an eclectic personality. She is a writer and teacher of many facets , which our part of the rainbow maker.,
More beautiful than I expected. Also usable as a pendulum. I ordered two. One ofr myself and one for a gift. Now I am ordering a third one.
I purchased this for a friend who recently lost her dog. It was a memorial gift for the 'rainbow-maker' in her life. This is absolutely beautiful, and she loves it.
It was the perfect gift for someone whose husband was dying. She went out and bought three or four more! Now I am givingg one as a Cchristmas present for someone else who needs some cheering up. Thanks!
Purchased it to brighten up the apartment. It doesn't do it!
Loved it !! Will be ordering another!!
Love it, but didn't read the description well....thought it was bigger! it's beautiful though.
bought for greenhouse window. beautiful piece, very happy with purchase
I liked the things I ordered

No. Bobby Deen revealed in a February 2013 interview with the Knoxville News Sentinel that he and Katy Mixon broke up. He stated that they had to end the relationship shortly after she moved to Los Angeles even though he had been regularly commuting to visit her.
The exact date of the breakup was not found, but it's been known that they had been dating since late 2009.
Deen lives in Savannah, Georgia, but also spends a lot of time in the New York City area filming his cooking show Not My Mama's Meals.
Bobby married Claudia Lovera from Caracas, Venezuela in July 2013. Claudia is an avid runner and a producer. They said their vows in front of about 75 family members, a month earlier than initially planned.
The wedding was held in the living room of Paula Deen's waterfront home. Chatham County Probate Judge Harris Lewis who conducted the wedding performed the nuptials in two languages as the bride was born in Venezuela - Savannah Morning News.
Of interest, Single Man, Married Man, penned by seven New York-based men who are single, engaged, married and divorced argues 'all men' who say they don't want to get married are 'lying'.
According to one author, men lie to 'get their women to listen' and insists telling the truth is 'risky'. Another suggests men are more likely to feel guilty about changing their barber than cheating on their partner...find out more at Colorado Newsday.

Music/Lyrics: Anastasio, Marshall, Herman
Vocals: Trey (lead), Mike, Page (backing)
Original Artist: New York!
Albums: Farmhouse, Alpine Valley, Ventura, Lullaby Versions of Phish V2, Amsterdam
Debut: 1997-06-14
Historian: Phillip Zerbo (pzerbo)
Last Update: 2015-09-15
"Dirt" is one of the most simple – and decidedly dark – songs in the Phish repertoire. The sparse lyrics evoke images of death, perhaps suicide; a radical disconnect from love, and life itself. In a typical Anastasio twist, these gloomy lyrics are juxtaposed against "ho-hum, happy-day" whistling intro. Trey once noted that the swirling, soaring guitar refrain against the "shout your name into the wind / never hear your voice again" of the song's conclusion was influenced by the composer Maurice Ravel. The result is a song of ethereal beauty that belies the song's morbid theme of ultimate escape.
"Dirt" – 6/22/97, Koblenz, Germany
"Dirt" made its public debut on 5/21/97 at Burlington's Club Toast by the one-off band 'New York!'; this initial live version is difficult for performers and listeners alike. Fans of the song should also check out the acoustic demo by Trey and Tom Marshall on Trampled By Lambs, or the 6/14/97 Phish debut to visit the song's early roots.
"Dirt" saw heavy rotation in its debut year (twenty appearances in the six months after its debut alone) and it remained in setlist fixture through 2003. Absent from rotation in 2004, "Dirt" returned in Phish 3.0 on 6/4/09 at Jones Beach, and has since been in two-to-three appearance per year rotation, excepting 2014 when it was not played at all. A mood piece with no improvisational expansion to date (or likely), representative versions can be found in otherwise outstanding shows including 7/1/97 Amsterdam, 12/29/97 MSG, 10/10/99 Albany, 8/1/09 Red Rocks, 10/25/13 Worcester, and 8/23/15 at Magnaball.
Fans of the song will also want to visit Trey's solo acoustic performances, including 2/15/99 Higher Ground, 11/5/05 Cincinnati, or 2/27/11 Chicago.
"Dirt" – 8/23/15, Watkins Glen, NY

All things energy, from solar and wind power to efficiency and off-grid living.
By Comly Wilson
energy efficiency, home energy audit, energy conservation, Comly Wilson
The following energy-saving tip is brought to you by CleanEdison.
Tonight when you get home from work or school, call your utility company and ask what incentives they have for you to get an energy audit for your home. Many utilities have been offering free energy audits for years, but very few people have actually taken advantage.
In case you're unfamiliar, an energy audit is an assessment of your home by a certified energy rater in which they use diagnostic equipment to determine a list of recommendations for how you can improve the efficiency (and comfort) of your home.
If your utility offers free or discounted audits, make an appointment for after April, so you'll have done most of the easy stuff before he/she gets there.
