Google PageSpeed is a required tool for the modern website. If your PageSpeed scores are too low, Google ranks you lower. If your site performs badly, Google ranks you lower. If you do not use SSL, Google ranks you lower. So, a good Google PageSpeed score is crucial but not easy to achieve out of the box with the WordPress Twenty Fourteen theme. Actually, its out-of-the-box score for mobile is around sixty and for desktop around seventy. These scores are not bad, but they are not very good, either. Average ranks you lower.

Foray into Jenkins, Puppet, Docker, and Photon
I have made a foray into Jenkins to deploy VMware Photon within my vSphere environment. This foray has the end goal of using Jenkins, VMware Photon, and Docker to deploy applications within my hybrid cloud. I have an increased need to deploy web properties as well as to automatically apply in-depth testing to those properties. Quite frankly, the amount of time it takes me to do these things by hand is just getting to be too much of a time sink, so now it is time to use modern tools to augment my existing scripts. Here is my journey into the new world. Continue reading Foray into Jenkins, Puppet, Docker, and Photon
Removing Genericons from Twenty Fourteen Theme
There are a number of interesting attacks out there, and one of them is related to Genericons, which are used by the Twenty Fourteen theme. There are also serious performance issues with Genericons, so dumping them is a good idea. Here is how I did that without using a child theme. My whole goal for using Twenty Fourteen was to modify it without using a child theme. Not that hard to do, but it does take some forethought. Here is how I achieved this bit of magic and boosted performance at the same time!

WordPress Hacked: Security Steps and Cleanup Take III
In WordPress Hacked: Security Steps Take II, I wrote about the tools and steps to take to secure your WordPress installation. The current steps to take are the same. The tools, however, have changed significantly. Even as the steps changed from WordPress Hacked: Security Steps, now we look at the tools once more. I will reiterate the steps at the end of the post for completeness. However, let us begin by examining the tools. I have removed quite a few from my installs that I had previously recommended, and I will explain why below. Continue reading WordPress Hacked: Security Steps and Cleanup Take III
WordPress Hacked: Security Steps Take II
It has been a year since I wrote WordPress Hacked: Security Steps and there are now some new plugins and tools to help with security of your WordPress site. The steps to take to find hacks are the same as the security steps previously mentioned, but there are some new tools and services that may make your life easier and alleviate more attacks. So here is an updated set of rules, plugins, and actions to take. I suggest Reading the original post as a part of this one. Continue reading WordPress Hacked: Security Steps Take II
WordPress: Optimizing Steps
As you know, I have been working with my WordPress installation to improve security, but also to improve site optimization and speeds to download, etc. In this tools such as Google Page Speed and Yahoo YSlow have been incredibly useful. My goal has been to increase the Page Speed and Yahoo YSlow scores to as high as possible. This takes quite a bit of effort to achieve, I had some failed starts, bad plugins, and the need to code things to optimize the site more. So here is how I achieved my current score of 82/100 with Pagespeed. More work will be done with the ultimate goal of achieving 100/100, but that will take quite a bit of coding it appears.

I was sorry to read Bradley Wallis's review above. However, this seems to come with the territory for people who devote their lives to helping to change the world. I spent over 10 years with this organization in a number of roles including Board Member, volunteer, donor, and personally visited and participated in distributions in Africa and China. I'm not aware of any chair that can be purchased or manufactured for less that is the equal or better to than this chair. If it existed, I know Don Schoendorfer would be the first to recommend it. The goal of this organization has never been to provide the ultimate solution to the massive need for mobilization for some of the most forgotten people in the world. I would ask any naysayer to join in a distribution of these chairs someday. Ask one of the recipients who has been living in a corner of a hut in the mud who now can roll out into the sun and rejoin life again: "would you prefer to return this low cost chair you received for free, so I can go and look for a $500 chair for you that I have no idea I can pay for or that you will ever receive."I doubt you could convince one person to give up their chair. As for Jesus, well he comes with the territory. I'm sorry if that offends anyone but the organization is founded by and run by people of faith. There is no religious overtone to the giving away of the chairs. People are told why and how the organization happens to be motivated to do this work. I've never seen or heard a complain on the other side of the field. The few that do come up are from folks at this end.

SethSpeaks Top 50 Twins Prospects
Part 4: 1-10
Good Morning! Today I will be catching a flight to the cities at 6:30 a.m. I will spend the entire day there and won't fly back until 7:30 tonight. So, hopefully I will be home by about 9:00 tonight. I hope you enjoy the posting. Hopefully we can get just as many comments as we did yesterday.
Today, I am going to jump right back into my Top 50 Twins Prospect series with part three. Last Friday, I posted my choices for prospects #36-50, and yesterday my choices for #21-35 were posted. Today, I am back with my selections for numbers 11-20. Before making my selections, I will remind you of who my choices were for numbers 21-50. Again, don't take this as anything other than a fun look at several of the Twins prospects. I enjoy following the Twins system and think that it is important, as a Twins fan, to understand what is going on with the minor league system. Think it doesn't matter? Look at the 2006 Minnesota Twins roster this season and tell me that developing a strong minor league system isn't important to the big league club!
If you have any questions or comments on any of these players or their rankings, I would love to hear your thoughts. The final part of this list will be posted tomorrow. It will be my Top 10 list on Friday. If you have thoughts, or if you have a Top 10, 20, 30, or 50 Prospect list, I would love to see it and share it with other Twins fans, so please e-mail me or leave Comments below.

#11 – Chris Parmalee – OF/1B – 18
#10 – Alex Romero – OF– 23
2006 Team: Rochester Red Wings
Acquired: signed as a free agent by the Twins from Venezuela in 2002
It was a strange year for Romero, I think. He started the season with Rochester, but struggles and infrequent playing time meant a quick demotion to New Britain. In his 48 games there, he hit .281/.384/.461 with 11 doubles, two triples and five home runs. He then returned to Rochester. All told, in 71 AAA games, he hit .250/.300/.301 with eight doubles and two triples. I have heard that at AAA he became more of a slap hitter, losing any power. However, if you are like me and have watched Romero seasons, he always starts out slow and then comes on big. He did it at New Britain in 2005. He did it in Ft. Myers in 2004. I think had he stayed in Rochester the whole time, he would have adjusted. That's why I am still high on him. He will make that adjustment and I think he will have a good 2007 season there. He is a good average hitter who has shown some flashes of power and some flashes of speed (although many reports say his speed has lessened.) He's still a top 10 prospect in my book.
2007 Projection: Back in the OF with Rochester
Potential: a good bat, good speed guy who could start for a big league team
Could be in Minnesota in: 2007
#9 – Trent Oeltjen – OF – 23
2006 Teams:
New Britain Rockcats
Acquired: signed as free agent in 2001 out of Australia
Those of you who have read this site know that Trent Oeltjen has been one of my favorite Twins prospects to follow since he hit .298 with 29 SB in 2003 at Quad Cities. He has continued to progress consistently through the system. At the start of the 2006 season, he was sent to New Britain and played alongside Denard Span and Doug Deeds. When Romero was demoted, I feared that Oeltjen would lose time, but he played so well that he had to get At Bats. So, he played the different OF positions and DH. He was the Twins representative in the Futures Game this summer, and he has represented the Twins and Australia for several years in International competition. On the year, in 113 games, he hit .299/.278/.411 with 16 doubles, ten triples and three homers. He also stole 23 bases, although he was also caught 11 times. To me, Span gets all the notice, but Oeltjen has a lot of speed, plays great defense and shows a little extra base hit pop in his bat. That is why he is a Top 10 prospect in my book.
2007 Projection:
playing OF in Rochester
Potential: good glove, good bat, good speed OF
Could be in Minnesota in: 2008
#8 – Alexander Smit – LHP – 20
2006 Teams:
Beloit Snappers
Acquired: signed as free agent in 2002 out of The Netherlands
Smit rockets up this list with an unbelievable final three months of the year. In 2005, Smit started the year at Beloit, but struggled with his control inside and outside the strike zone. He went back down to Elizabethton and dominated. He again started the 2006 season in Beloit, in the bullpen. He struggled at first, again with control. But at some point, something must have clicked. He found better control and in doing so started showing the immense talent that this young, lanky lefty has. He was moved to the starting rotation and continued his success. For the season, he went 7-2 with a 2.99 ERA. In 108.1 innings, he gave up just 77 hits. He walked 53 (still too high, but a great improvement) and struck out 141! He just kept getting better each month, and he was my minor league pitcher of the month in August. In 30 innings that month, he gave up just 11 hits. Even with his 15 walks, his WHIP was just 0.87. He struck out 45 batters! I really believe that we are just beginning to see the talent and potential of Alexander Smit. I think he will just get better now, and I think he could be another lefty in the Twins line of talented lefty starters. However, at 20, he still needs time and patience.
2007 Projection:
starting in Ft. Myers
Potential: Potential to be another dominating lefty starter
Could be in Minnesota in: 2009
#7 – David Winfree – 3B – 21
2006 Teams:
Ft. Myers Miracle
Acquired: Twins 13th round pick in 2003 out of Virginia Beach (VA) H.S.
The 2005 Twins Minor League Player of the Year had an interesting year. He had wrist problems early and missed time. Then he missed over a month with some personal issues that he has hopefully been able to move past. In 67 games with Ft. Myers this year, Winfree hit .276/.328/.490 with 13 doubles, 13 homers and 48 RBI in just 261 at bats. He was an RBI machine the year before too. The Florida State League is not a power hitter's delight, and despite the missed time, Winfree hit very well there. He will be participating, with Matt Moses, in the Arizona Fall League, which should be interesting. Like Moses, he is not great with the glove at this point. But again, he is a hitter and a run producer, and he is quite young. I would not be surprised to see him surpass Moses in the Twins plans.
2007 Projection:
starting 3B in New Britain
Potential: Potential power hitting big league 3B
Could be in Minnesota in: 2008
#6 – Eduardo Morlan – RHP – 20
2006 Teams:
Beloit Snappers
Acquired: Twins 3rd round pick in 2004 out of Coral Park, FL
Of the six pitchers that the Twins took in the first three rounds of the 2004 draft, many believe that Morlan has the most upside. He just also might take the longest to get there. The question seems to be whether he will be a starter or a bullpen guy. From the sounds of it, he wants to stay in the bullpen. He throws the ball harder when he's a reliever, which only makes sense. But the Twins really like to let their top pitching prospects start in the minor leagues to continue to build arm strength. Right now, he really only has one pitch, so he will need to develop a secondary pitch or two. In 2006 at Beloit, he pitched in 28 games and started 18 of those. In 106.1 innings, he gave up just 78 hits and walked 38. He struck out an impressive 125. The problem so far has been some arm problems. He has missed a little bit of time each of the last two years. So, I am sure that the Twins will be patient with him, but he certainly does have the world of potential.
2007 Projection:
starting in Ft. Myers
Potential: Potential to be another dominant Twins closer
Could be in Minnesota in: 2008
#5 – Glen Perkins – LHP – 23
2006 Teams:
New Britain Rockcats/Rochester Red Wings/Minnesota Twins
Acquired: Twins 1st round pick in 2004 out of U. of Minnesota (and Stillwater, MN)
The former Gopher really had a decent year, regardless of his AA record (which you can see on the left). With the Rockcats, he was 4-11, but he did have an ERA just below four, so that isn't horrible for the league. In 117.1 innings, he walked 45 and struck out 131. He also missed a couple of weeks in midseason with a tired arm. I like the strikeout rate, that's for sure. He made one start for Rochester at the end of their regular season and took the loss despite giving up just one run. Then in the playoffs, he threw six shutout innings in relief of Francisco Liriano, and he also made another great start for a win. He was rewarded with a September call up. He has pitched two innings over three games with the Twins. He has looked good, looked sharp. I still think that Perkins needs some AAA time, and he needs to work on the consistency. That said, he could be ready by midseason to step into a rotation spot if one is available.
2007 Projection:
starting in Rochester
Potential: quality, long-term #3 type starter
Could be in Minnesota in: 2007
#4 – Anthony Swarzak – RHP – 23
2006 Teams:
Ft. Myers Miracle
Acquired: Twins 2nd round pick in 2004 out of Ft. Lauderdale, FL
For some reason, I have been predicting a big breakout year next year for Swarzak. Call it a hunch, or a feeling, but I think that he could move a level or two next year. Swarzak returned to the Miracle and really put together a strong season. In 27 starts, he went 11-7 with a 3.27 ERA. In 145.2 innings, he gave up 60 walks (should come down) and struck out 131. However, he is called tough and a competitor. Apparently he didn't have his curveball working much this year, but his fastball alone was quite good. He is also working on a changeup. If a pitcher can have three quality pitches, he can be tough! He just needs to keep the ball down in the zone. I think that the full season in the Florida State League was good for Swarzak, but I believe he is now ready to take on the Eastern League, and maybe even the International League by season's end.
2007 Projection:
starting in New Britain
Potential: #2-type starter
Could be in Minnesota in: 2008
#3 – Alexi Casilla – SS/2B – 22
2006 Teams:
Ft. Myers Miracle/New Britain Rockcats/Minnesota Twins
Acquired: came to Twins in JC Romero trade last December
The funny thing is that I was hoping the Twins could get someone like Erick Aybar from the Angels for Romero, but in the end, Terry Ryan and his scouting department and minor league staffs found another diamond in the rough in Casilla. After having a very solid year in the Midwest League in 2005, Casilla really came into his own this year. He stayed in Ft. Myers until the first half of the season was complete. There he hit .331/.390/.406 with 12 double and six triples. He was also 31/37 in base stealing attempts. He moved up to New Britain and immediate started and hit second. In 45 games there, he hit .294/.375/.382. His batting average only dipped below .300 on the season's final day because he went 0-7 in a double header. He had ten doubles, a triple and a home run there. He was also 19/23 in steal attempts. So, Casilla has shown to put together quality at bats, have some extra base pop, hit for average and steal bases. We have seen the quality at bats in his few plate appearances with the Twins, and last night he collected his first big league hit. 50 stolen bases is great at any level. In the game last night, we saw that he can play a good second base, can turn a double play and has a very strong throwing arm. I have to wonder if he has shown enough to the Twins brass for them to consider trading Luis Castillo.
2007 Projection:
playing 2B in Rochester to start.
Potential: #1 or #2 hitter with big SB potential
Could be in Minnesota in: 2007
#2 – Kevin Slowey – OF – 22
2006 Teams:
Ft. Myers Miracle/New Britain Rockcats/Team USA/Rochester Red
Acquired: Twins 2nd round pick in 2005 out of Winthrop U.
What an amazing season 2006 has been for Slowey! I thought that last year, when I ranked him 9th after just two-plus months of pro ball may have been too high, but he has been even better in 2006. He started with the Miracle in Ft. Myers and in reality, he outpitched Matt Garza. However, Garza was promoted, but Slowey only had to wait until the season's 2nd half. There, Slowey went 4-2 (thanks to minimal run support) with a 1.01 ERA in 14 starts. In 89.1 innings, he walked just nine and struck out 99! In New Britain, he made nine starts and went 4-3 with a 3.19 ERA. In 59.1 innings, he walked 13 and struck out 52. Now, we know that he doesn't throw much over 90 mph, but everything I have read or heard says that he has impeccable control. That can be seen by the low walk total, but an equally important point is that it can be seen in the lack of hits. He has great control and movement of a number of pitches at a number of speeds, all in an attempt to keep the hitter off stride. Slowey was selected to pitch for Team USA in the Olympic Qualifier. He did well, but really showed his stuff in the championship game. With about 50,000 fans in the stands, Slowey gave up just one run in five innings against Cuba, in Havana. How's that for composure!? And, when he got back from there, he joined the Red Wings and in the IL championship series, he started one game and gave up just one run in 7.2 innings. If not for our #1 prospect, Slowey would be the easy choice for that spot. Also, he has shown a great ability to adjust to a new level after a rough start. Kind of like with our NFL "Expert" Picks. Last year, Slowey finished in last place out of 12 panelists. This year, he has shown great improvement already!
2007 Projection:
starting in Rochester
Potential: long time #2 type pitcher, who really is a #1, who could be the Twins #4!
Could be in Minnesota in: 2007
#1 – Matt Garza – RHP – 22
2006 Teams:
Ft. Myers Miracle/New Britain Rockcats/Rochester Red
Wings/Minnesota Twins
Acquired: Twins 1st round pick in 2005 out of Fresno State U.
As I did last year, I wanted to get this list published before one of the players would lose eligibility. Garza stands at 47.1 innings with the Twins, so if he gets eight outs in his Saturday night start, he will lose his rookie eligibility for 2007 and would no longer fit the criteria to be on this list. However, this is a 2006 list, and to leave Garza out for any reason would, in my mind, be a mistake. Like Casilla, Garza has made the jump from Hi-A ball to the big leagues. He made eight starts in Ft. Myers and went 5-1 with a 1.42 ERA. In 44.1 innings, he gave up 11 walks and struck out 53. At New Britain, he made ten starts and went 6-2 with a 2.51 ERA. In 57.1 innings, he walked just 14 and struck out 68. He moved up to Rochester where he made five starts. He went 3-1 with a 1.85 ERA. In 34 innings, he walked seven and struck out 33. The Twins were really struggling to find starting pitching and after trying to hold back Garza as long as they could, they finally had to call him up. He has now started eight games (and made one relief appearance) and has gone 3-5 with a 5.32 ERA. In 47.1 innings, he has walked 21 and struck out 35. Now, his walks are up and his strikeouts are down since his recall. I don't think that is unusual. Blessed with a fastball in the mid-90s, a good slider, a good curveball and a good changeup, he has #1 potential as well. If by next year, he can change one of the 'good's' in the previous sentence to a 'great', he will be special already next year. When he can turn a couple of them to 'great', he could be another All-Star.
2007 Projection:
starting in Rochester
Potential: long time #2 type pitcher, who really is a #1, who could be the Twins #4!
Could be in Minnesota in: 2007
So there you have it, the Top 10 (and the Top 50) Twins Prospects. Twins fans should be drooling at the possibility of a starting rotation involving Johan Santana, Francisco Liriano, Matt Garza, Boof Bonser and Kevin Slowey or Glen Perkins, or Anthony Swarzak.

I am very disappointed with Lowes in Williamsburg Virginia. I've received such wonderful service in the past 10 years. This time, my husband and I are renovating our home with carpet & vinyl. We've been to the store to set up our measurement detail and paid for it and were told to wait for a call from Quality to schedule a date for measurement by an installer. More than a week later, I've called numerous times and have been to the store to ask what in the world is going on? I've been told I will get right on it they take my phone # again and still no call to schedule a date for measurements. I'm not sure where the break down in communication lies, but I'm taking my business elsewhere.
What a nightmare. Do not ever shop at Lowes.com or for that matter Lowes. They are thieves. They have my money, no product, no customer support, and no idea if I will ever receive my purchase; I've been robbed before and Lowes just did it to me again.
Its been 9 weeks from my online purchase, I've spoken to 5 customer care reps and no one can tell me the status of my order. I for one will never use Lowes again. And I will be telling this horror story to anyone that is looking for a home improvement store (it's hard to improve your home without the product and you can't spend the money they've stolen; Lowes will not cancel my order and give me back the money they've stolen). If you like to give your money away give it to a homeless man on the street, at least you'll feel better than giving it to Lowes and have nothing to show for it.
On March 8th, 2016, I needed to buy a variety of purchases as usual, I had a Matt Chober, a manager, ( I asked him for his name) and what my intentions were,( to send you an email), contacting this office,he never left my side, no matter what department I needed a purchase, he gave me important information about the products I was interested in, if we went into a department and he had a question he called the person in that department, great attitude. Perfect customer relations. Also the cash register person, I try to get into her line whenever she is working, what a lovely lady, and there is a Zac person, you see these people give me every reason to not take my business anywhere else. I hope I get a reply from you to be assured that you have received this email.
We shop at Lowes in Grandville Michigan. Today were in to order more flooring, and found it to be on sale, at a better price then we purchased it for the week before. We stopped at the Customer service desk to see if we could get credit back for the price difference. Everybody there was awesome! Considering we didn't not have our receipt with, Pam was able to pull our info up, and credit our account. I thought for sure we would have to make another trip to the store, with receipt in hand, it make that happen. We always get great customer service at Lowes. Several people at the Customer Service desk worked together to take care of us. I would also like to mention the guy we bought the floor from. Jeffery has talked to s several times about options, he helped us compare one from to other. He has been out standing as well! really, I wish all stores treated their customers this well. We always enjoying shopping at Lowes. Thanks so much
My husband and I bought a Maytag Washer at the end of May 2015. The agitator broke in August, I placed a called to get the washer fixed under the manufacturer's warranty or through the extended warranty I bought at Lowe's. They told me it would be about 7 days to get the part and fix the washer. Today is September 14 and I am still waiting on the part. I have place numerous calls to Customer Service, spoke with several supervisors, and even called the parts guy myself and still have no answer on when my washing machine will be fixed. I'm frustrated and very unhappy with the service I've received and will never buy another appliance from Lowe's again.
I went to my local Lowes in Reynoldsburg which is on Broad St. to purchase a gas stove. I waited a few minutes then pushed the call help button in the department. After another few minutes I saw a person at the sink and shower desk, she was more than glad to call on her phone for help in appliances. After a total wait of about 15 minutes and still no help I left.
To employee relations, I was in the Oakland Maryland store looking for pipe fittings. An employee named Tyler asked if he could help. After telling him what I was trying to do he said I was looking at the wrong stuff.He then said follow me I can save you some money(MAGIC WORDS). He got my fittings and saved me about 20.00 dollars. TYLER is a credit to LOWES. Please let him know that his employer is as happy with him as the customer was. Sincerely, David W Crockett
My husband and I recently purchased a shed kit from the Lowe's store located on Watson in Buckeye. We have had such a hard time putting it together because of the following reasons.
1. Most if not ALL of the boards that were included in the kit are warped – some of them are usable but most are not, so we have to go back and purchase boards that are not warped.
2. The nailes that are included are cheap and break very easy. So we have have had to go and purchase different screws to put what we have together.
3. What was pre-cut did not match the measurements indicated on the instruction book.
4. The instructions had to be written by someone who doesn't know English, as it is so poorly written.
My husband noticed that the first thing it said on the box was NOT to return it to the store. However, since we have had such a hard time with this shed, my husband has decided to start to go to Home Depot instead. We are so disappointed as we PAID EXTRA to have this shed delivered just to find out that it is of such low quality. I look forward into hearing back from Lowe's as to the excuse that they make for such a product that is sold in their stores…….waiting to see.
I been in Lowes several times looking at Vinyl flooring I am always more confused when I leave than when I went in. The installation what confuse me. I understand I have to remove remove the old vinyl myself, hire a plumber to come in and re-install the commode, they will not put it together in the back even with a waiver, move my appliance in kitchen & laundry room etc. All I want is for them to tell me they will take care of every thing. I fully expect to pay for every thing.
I have to take my time to give credit to this young lady that helped me at your Lake Charles, la. Store. Yesterday
While I was buying LED sercutiy lights and changing my can lights in my home to LED lights and she helped me so much she even bought me to look at the lights on display so I could compare the brightness. These bubs are not cheap and you do need the right ones for your needs. The funny thing,I kelp looking at her name tag so I could tell the store manger and I gave up and told her to please give her name so I can give her credit for helping me like no other. Her name is Felicia Fontenot sales ID 1382183 store 589. And my wife loves the lights . Mark Richard Welsh,la.
On Friday, May 8, 2015, my sister and I were in Lowes (in New Westminster,B.C.)looking for storm/screen doors. Don Fraser was the most obliging customer service person I have ever met. He was well groomed, friendly, so helpful, patient and a young man who went beyond. I am disabled and he didn't treat me any differently than others. I was soooo impressed. Thank you Lowes for hiring him. This was my first visit to Lowes and I will go back. It's a shame you don't have a store in Langley. We have room at the old Target store on Fraser Highway and other locations.
On Jan. 29, 2015 I went to Lowe's Inverness Fl. store with a plumbing list as long as your arm and plumbing experience as short as your eye brow! Somehow I just happened to get the help of Steve Ashby, Steve stuck beside me from 10 AM until 2 PM.–never leaving to go to lunch but only intermittenly helping other customers in between. I have never encountered anyone more knowledgable or helpful than Steve Ashby in any business, I could never have gotten the plumbing supplys for my project without his willingness to make sure I had everything I needed. Thanks again Steve.
You have an employee that works at your Venice Fl. store #1683. Her name is Annie Black in the hardware department. She is a great credit to Lowes and its customer service. My son and I were in the store looking for a very small part and couldn't find it, that was on Jan.21,2015. Annie took us around and stayed with us until she found it. She is a great employee of a great store. Thank you Annie Black. People like you make shopping a pleasure.
I bought some plants which did not make it. I was told there was a guarantee. Also I put my phone number instead of my Lowes card and that I didn't need to keep the receipt because it will show up. When I took them back with the plastic container they couldn't bring them up. Some they could not match because they no longer carry. Anyway I got really irritated because I obviously bought those from Lowes, but because they no longer carry them to match them they would not credit me. I am a good customer at Lowes and the other day spent $190.00. But from now on I will no longer shop there because your refund policy is not right.
What is the status of our order 306204954. We received a call on 6/18 that our order was in. We went to pick it up on 6/19. After 30 minutes of waiting they could not find the order. Mike said he would follow up and let us now. Please let me know if your records show the deck boxes were delivered to the kent/midway store. Thank you
I was in the Wilson, NC store looking a freezer and James "Rambo" Smith come up and said may I help you with a freezer. Very helpful, polite and will mannered. James "Rambo" Smith is an awesome employee and I will look for him to help me the next time I am in the store to purchase an item. I shop at Lowes quite often and not all the employees are polite and helpful. Some act like they don't want to help you and act like they are mad with the world. James "Rambo" Smith is awesome. Thank you 6-17-14
Annette at customer service was awesome and very helpful. Outstanding at customer service
To whomsoever it concerns,
I was in your store at Pittsburgh Mills, Frazer township on 6/2/14 at 7:30 PM. I had called the store 45 minutes prior, to get information on putting a larger order in for a deck redo and to have it delivered. The lady on the phone from customer service told me that there were few delivery spots open for 6/6/14 and that I need to come in right away. I went to the store and was told that the " Pro service area was closed at 6:00pm. " I was angry that I had just been told to come in and had just drove 40 minutes.
The casher was very helpfull and called for help. Several people came but were not sure how to put order in or how to set up a delivery. Then an Asst. Manager, Gary, came to help. He was pleasant and helpful. He took the next hour to put in the order of materials, walked me through the store to pick out items that I was not sure of what I want to use. Such as hinges, nails veruse screws. He set up a delivery for the 6/6/14 in the morning.
He took an upsetting event and turned it into a plesant experience. I have a new faith in Lowes Customer Service. Gary needs to be a Manager. I work in health care and know the importance of service. A Job well done! Thank You.
I have waited all day for Lowe's shipment on order placed on 05.04/2014. Order # 304965126. Estimated arrival date listed as 05/13/2014. Current Houston time is 12:37 am, Wednesday, the 14th. I did a check on the Lowe's site using the order number and find that my package was shown as DELIVERED under the Purchase Status. This is not correct. What is going on?
I hard Lowe's to put up a fence at my home .The man that did the fence did a fine job . But when they delivered the material for the job they broth to much material. I call the store about this they said they would set a date to picked it up. Well they set the date for Tuesday March 25 2014 but no one has come and picked it up yet. I am going out of town for the weekend . I would like it picked up before then .The manger at the store is not concern about this but it is on the side of the road .Please see if some one can pick this material up It is about a 1000.00 dollars wert .I am not going to be responsible for this .
Store # 0342 Worst customer service experience, I will be taking all my business back to Home Depot. I have had a damaged part to fix my washer shipped to me twice. The insist that they can get it right a third time. I am a family of five without a washer. Not happy. I went into get a resolution with the manager on duty Monica and got the brush off. She was too busy to help me with a resolution. She told the appliance associate she trusted is judgment and to handle it. Don't buy appliances from Lowes. I regret not going to Sears or Home Depot
I would just like to take a moment to acknowledge James Scott *paint* department at the Lowes in East Ellijay Georgia 1793 team. He is a valuable asset to this company. Not ONLY does he mix my paint he is also very helpful with all of my projects when it comes to recommending products and directions in completing the job I have at hand. He is always very pleasant and courteous. He will scope down the aisle and if he sees you he will come and ask if you need help with anything…So I would like to say Thank you for a job well done!
Hi I just wanted to let you know that my husband and I tried out the Lowes in NewWestminister in BC for the first time we loved it and want to say thanks so much to a Parm in Paints she was so help ful and knowlegable : the Store #3056 –we since have purchased all of our paints–Lighting–Staircasing and will continue using Lowes because of her great customer service :)–(Sorry Home-Depot)

Dental implants are small posts placed beneath the gum to work as the roots of missing teeth. An artificial tooth is then fitted to match your teeth and mouth and improve your smile. An implant can replace one tooth or multiple teeth and looks and feels natural.
Success rates of dental implants vary, depending on where in the jaw the implants are placed but, in general, dental implants have a success rate of up to 98%.Read more…
Getting whiter teeth used to mean wearing gel filled plastic mouth trays daily and even as long as several weeks. However, due to better technology, our practice is capable of whitening your teeth and give you a brighter smile within just over an hour!
We help you to take care of your smile and preserve it for years to come. Our job is to make sure that all your dental needs are met and help you smile with confidence.Read more…
We offer some of the strongest ceramic crowns available in the world with excellent aesthetics and translucency besides an outstanding marginal fit.
Dental Crowns, or dental caps, are used to restore broken or cracked teeth. Crowns and bridges are fixed prosthetic devices. Unlike removable devices for example dentures, that can easily be taken out and cleaned every day, crowns and bridges are cemented into position.Read more…
With today's technology, dentures are created to look natural in appearance and give the impression of a beautiful smile.
Dentures should be the treatment of last resort for the replacement of natural teeth, when extensive work cannot be done anymore. We as an experienced dental practice can give you a new smile and dental function with the latest technology. We will ensure that you have a denture that is comfortable and you will have a natural smile.Read more…
Tooth decay, trauma or cracks can cause the nerves of teeth to die. When this occurs your tooth can often still be saved with root canal therapy. Severe pain, swelling, sensitivity to hot or cold, or a darkening tooth, are signs that a root canal problem exists.
After a root canal, most patients experience little pain. All patients are given pain relievers however, to minimize any discomfort. Teeth treated with root canal need to be restored afterwards.Read more…

Reflections from the North CountryWritten in the last years of his life, Reflections from the North Country is often considered Sigurd Olson's most intellectually significant work. In an account alive with anecdote and insight, Olson outlines the wilderness philosophy he developed while working as an outspoken advocate for the conservation of America's natural heritage.Based on speeches delivered at town meetings and government

I have heard the singing in many places, but I seem to hear it best in the wilderness lake country of the Quetico-Superior, where travel is still by pack and

To the outdoorsmen who often canoed and portaged with him through the northern Lake country, Sigurd Olson was affectionately known as the Bourgeois—the name that voyageurs gave two hundred years ago to the trusted guides who took them over this same territory.

Essential Articles and SpeechesSigurd F. Olson (1899-1982) was one of the greatest environmentalists of the twentieth century.

Falling Down
If theres one factor that completely separates a comedians live performances from his pre-recorded material, its the thrill of possible failure. You know: that chance that he could get out on stage and bomb his ass off. Like, the booing, jeering, heckling sort of bomb.
But sometimes laying an egg on stage can be a good thing. Just look at Bill Burr. Last year, Burr became a virtual messiah in the comic world for sucking it up so bad during a show in Philadelphia that the audience basically turned mob. But instead of allowing himself to be booed offstage, he snapped like a brittle twig and started returning the favor. For the next 15 minutes, Burr savagely brutalized the Philly crowd with a barrage of curses, insults, and slurs nastier than any episode of Yo Mamma. There were uplifting moments (Lets talk about Heart Disease, something youre all going to fucking die of, and Im going to laugh at your funeral) and sad moments (I hope your mother gets herpes in the center of her asshole). But no matter what, Burr always kept his eye on the prize, punctuating each tirade with a verbal countdown of his remaining time on stage. He was like the comic version of Michael Douglas in Falling Down. And by the time he was done, the crowd was in tears: They gave him a huge, standing ovation. For Burr whos hosted his own HBO Special, released comedy CDs, and starred in the Chappelle Show it was his finest moment.
Chance of a repeat? Slim. But anything could happen, as Burr takes the stage Friday through Monday at the Improv Hard Rock Live (5700 Seminole Way, Hollywood). Tickets cost $16 each night, save New Years Eve when theyre $75. Call 954-981-5653, or visit www.improvftl.com.

From School Library Journal
Grade 5–9—Packaging Blake for this audience is no small challenge. The book begins with a heroic attempt to explain some of his themes and philosophy in a four-page introduction. Maynard speaks of the poet with insight, eloquence, and obvious admiration, but his comments are more likely to be appreciated by adults than by children. He prefaces each poem with explanatory comments that are also thought-provoking and illuminating. They are mostly age-appropriate, but at times they go beyond the intellectual range of middle schoolers. Most of the selections are from Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience. Maynard does not shy away from the fact that many of them have strong Christian images or deal with harsh social themes. The artwork is well matched to the tone of the poems. Cimatoribus's illustrations are at the same time childlike and surreal. The simplified shapes of the figures contrast with the rich, textured colors and reflect the complex nature of the poetry. As a whole, this work does an admirable job of presenting Blake to young people.—Donna Cardon, Provo City Library, UT

From Booklist
The newest entry in this excellent series offers 31 short poems or very brief extracts from longer ones--enough to provide a sense of Blake's profoundly individual point of view and to turn on readers to his elaborate, fantastical vision of the natural and supernatural realms. Maynard opens with a coherent account of Blake's life and a persuasive explanation of why he is worth knowing, then supplies brief commentary for each poem. He mixes such familiar selections as "The Lamb" and "The Tyger" with less well-known poems, many of which are thematically linked or paired; original spelling is preserved throughout, but unusual words are defined in the margins. The introduction includes just three of Blake's illustrations, but in her own stylized paintings, Cimatoribus effectively captures each poem's mysterious tone and feeling of otherness. John Peters

The typical asking rate per listing is in the $0's per square foot per year. The Larkspur submarket is experiencing a decline in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate fell $16 per sqft per year. That's a 100% decline in rent.
In the last 90 days, 1 listings have been listed, which means new availabilities most likley are leasing quickly. You'll want to be prepared to tour spaces as quick as possible. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet posted, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around sqft. Most properties in this market are around 2 floors. Most buildings in this region were built in 1996 and are Class B.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Arts, entertainment, and restaurants are the dominant industries in this region. Commute by bike is the most popular way to get to work amongst Larkspur residents. Commuting approximately an hour a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

Work started last August on the new museum now called the Coos History Museum and Maritime Collection.
The museum's rotating exhibits will be based on input from the community.
"It's been a long slog for a lot of people. They've been raising funds for 15 years for this project, and it's just heroic really," said Frank Smoot, the museum's executive director.
Smoot said the staff have photographed and cataloged every piece in the old museum to ensure they preserve the existing collections when the new space is completed.
Tours are already lined up for the new Coos History Museum and Maritime Collection, expected to open in December.

This is a brand new state park - just opened in July. Although there are no trees yet, it is a beautiful park! All sites are concrete pads with picnic tables & fire ring. Free wifi with a fairly strong signal. Cellphone service is little to none unless you go to the Lodge, then it is good. Highway 19 between Salem & the park is VERY curvy & hilly.

This state park and campground opened last month, so we knew not to expect any shade near the campsites.
Other than that, they did a first-rate job in the design and layout with extra-wide roadways. Plenty of full hookup sites. Clean restrooms and showers.

This is a brand new park. All facilities are brand new and shiny and well maintained. There are 62 electric sites and 12 walk in. The sites are not large and for now there is absolutely no shade for non primitive sites. The scenery of this nearly 500 acre park is what makes it special. Many trails to hike and the Sinking Creek river offers a beautiful place to swim, fish and float. The park has a beautiful lodge and restaurant overlooking the bluff and creek boasting decks to sit and relax to enjoy the view. - skeeter417

We stayed in loop 2 site 219 which has full hookups. We stayed from June 28 - July 1. The concrete pads are fairly level, the hookups are in the concrete pad. The spacing on the sites range from nearby to spacious. The campground has basic, electric, equestrian, and FHU sites available. There are numerous trails including a connection to the Ozark Trail. This area is very remote, the campground store has everything you need if you forget something including the only WIFI hotspot in the campground. This campground is a cell phone dead area "NO SERVICE". You can get cell phone service at the Park Visitor Center which is a mile away. - 2G's

We arrived on a Friday for a 4-night stay in loop 3. The check-in process was easy and the staff was very nice and provided us with a campground map. Our first stop was at the fresh water fill, which was very slow. For some reason, they have a water pressure regulator on the potable water faucet which made a 90 gallon fill last about 25 minutes. Loop 3 is a premium electric site and the sites are well spaced and pretty level with a concrete pad. We had an ant problem at the site and I wished I had bought some insect spray as we kept finding them in our TT and climbing up the stabilizer legs. I used the shower and toilet in our trailer but my wife used the loop's flushing toilets and shower. She reported they were clean but the showers do not have vent fans and were very damp and humid. The campground store has a fair amount of items but a bit costly. The staff at the store and the park ranger I talked to on a few occasions was very friendly and offered us suggestions on places to swim since the Shut In's river was closed due to high water. One annoyance I had was with some of the grounds crew. They used gas powered leaf blowers to clean off the porch area at the store while my wife and I sat at the outdoor tables...very loud and annoying. The laundry room had 4 working washers and 4 dryers and was fairly clean. There was no Sprint or AT&T cell service in the CG and the store Wi-Fi is a bit slow. - Iraqvet05

The only downside to this campground is the route you have to drive to get there! Narrow, winding, curvy, hilly, no shoulders on many of the roads and that's just the roads to get to the state park! Once inside the campground, the roads are adequate and nicely laid out with ample room between sites and room to get backed into back-in sites. There are several loops with a variety of services from which to select.
You are very cut off from the outside world in this park! There's no internet, phone or TV to be had anywhere in the campground. Even at the store where we were told you could get service, we didn't find anything on either Verizon or AT&T. We didn't really find this to be a huge problem other than us personally adjusting and changing habits for a few days.
All the staff we talked to were very friendly and helpful. The surrounding scenery and the river are amazing! Well worth the visit. - PegL

Beautiful area! Summer weekends get crowded with a party atmosphere. They have canoe and raft rentals for floating. The "beach" area is a great place to hang out at once the floats trips have shoved off for the day, it's an easy walk as it's part of the campgrounds. Bathrooms seem to be keep as clean as possible for all the people that were there the weekend that we stayed. Watch for lower hanging branches if you have a larger RV or motorhome. Sites appeared to be mostly dirt or gravel. - DDnDoug

A beautiful park! The park sits on the Black river, although RV sites are not on the river. Most RV sites are water and electric only, with one dump station available as you leave the park. Some of the sites are very difficult to get into if you have a big rig; watch those overhead branches! They do have a few pull through sites, but even some of those are better to back in and out of to avoid the many trees. This place gets busy in the summer, so you probably should call ahead. I've had some trouble with the electric boxes over the years; the place could use a few repairs. Free, abundant firewood most of the time. - jaybird777

This campground was a mixed bag. On the plus side, it sits right on the Black River, which is crystal clear, and has gorgeous scenery. The campground rents tubes, canoes and rafts, and will take you five miles up the river for a delightful float trip back down to the campground. The campground offers free firewood, and has limited supplies in the camp store. It is close to Johnson Shut Ins State Park, which is a wonderful place to spend an afternoon swimming. On the negative side, this is definitely a campground and not an RV resort! There are no full hookup sites, and the dump station was difficult to maneuver around, messy and smelly. Lots of shade trees make the sites awkward for large RV's. Sites were sandy. There are sites for horse campers, and if you don't have a horse, you definitely don't want to be in one of those sites! It seemed to us that most of the people camping here were repeat customers for many years, and we felt a bit out of place as "newbies". The office staff weren't overly friendly, and didn't seem to care whether they had our business or not. We enjoyed the river, but if we returned to that area, I think we would try one of the other campgrounds. - shayerk

A very nice secluded park along the Current River. We had a particular site that was just a few steps from the river with our own private sandy beach. No hookups, but it seemed to be generator-friendly, and there is a water spigot centrally located to fill your tanks as needed. We just stopped for one night, but it appeared to be a popular camping destination. Self-registration center; $14.00 a night. - JaredWPhillips

What a pleasant surprise this campground was-- we practically had it entirely to ourselves. It was hard to choose a campsite-- they were all long, level and shaded, plus each one had a level area for a tent. In addition to the parking spur, fire ring and picnic table, each site had a counter height table with a shelf above that, all sheltered by a roof, where you could do your meal prep. There was no electricity or dump station. Vault toilets were located throughout the campground. There were several water spigots and some were threaded so you could fill your tank. The campground has a trail that lets you access the 12-mile hike/bike trail that encircles the lake. We used this trail to reach the boat launch where they had a nice shady, waterfront picnic area. Further down the trail (or accessible by car) was a lovely beach area that appeared to be locally popular. The beach restroom did have flush toilets and coin operated showers. The lake is 440 acres and has a no wake rule. There is also pedestrian access from this lake-front trail to the Trace Creek section of the Ozark Trail--- Missouri's long distance hiking trail. The campground has 39 single sites, 7 double sites, 9 walk-in tent sites, and 4 group sites. Some of these are available for reservation on recreation.gov. Our rate reflected the access pass discount, but there is no discount on the double sites. - midcenturynana

Nice Forest Service campground on the Huzzah creek. During the week in October I had the lower loop to myself. Fall colors were beautiful. The non-electric sites were nice and level. The few electric single sites are large but are unfortunately not level and the pads are narrow. There are a few double electric sites that are level but twice the price. Site 28 was the most level of the single electric sites. - Kevin5203

This is a nice relaxing National Forest camp ground. Paved roads and paved pads. A few sites have 30 Amp electric that worked very well. Several threaded water spigots available to fill fresh water tanks from. No dump station - need to dump at a private RV resort. Huge sites but some of the RV pads were narrow with big drop offs at one or both sides of the pavement. The paved entrance road and camp roads are well maintained. The entrance road was due for some tree trimming, but it was not too bad - had to drive around a few low-hanging branches.
Overall this is a great place to get away and enjoy the forest, Huzzah creek with its really neat brown gravel and the very tall red bluffs. - eb145

This is a campground that is part of the Mark Twain National Forest. The campground is located near Davisville, outside of Steeleville, Missouri. Steeleville is known as the float capital of Missouri. The Huzzah Creek runs around the campground. The campground gets its name from a beautiful red bluff overlooking the creek near the campground. This was a nice quiet campground with a 2 mile hiking trail through the park. The hiking trail was very nice and you can fish or wade in the creek. You can catch river trout and other fish in the creek. - junebug

Taiwan's economy finds itself at a crossroads

As exports decline and the local IT sector loses its edge in innovation, Taiwan now stands at a crossroads. The island's next steps in its economic development plan will determine the country's future.
Last year, the Council for Economic Planning and Development (CEPD) promised a prosperous 2013, and indicated that GDP growth might exceed 4 percent. However, the Cabinet's Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) recently adjusted Taiwan's economic growth rate predictions downward to 1.74 percent for 2013.
The DGBAS said weak exports were the main reason behind the worse-than-expected economic growth rate this year. This claim, however, contradicts evidence that worldwide exports were measured to have grown in November.
As a result of this worldwide export growth, the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) in the U.S. reported growth in the purchasing manager index (PMI), a gauge of the manufacturing sector, in November. The score reached 57.3, the highest seen since April 2011. The export order index also reached its highest point in the last two and a half years or so. High demand from markets in Europe, Japan and China drove growth momentum, the ISM said.
As a result of strong exports, Japan's PMI reached 55.1, its highest number in four years. The eurozone's PMI was pegged at 51.6, which was higher than expected and also marked a two-year high. Analysts said that exports drove manufacturing sector growth in the eurozone.
As exports contribute more than 60 percent to Taiwan's GDP, the fact that the country's exports have suffered recently as exports surged elsewhere around the world signals a warning that deserves our attention.
It appears that nations around the world have placed more focus on developing their manufacturing sectors, and it has become clear that Taiwan will face even greater competition with foreign firms in the future.
Scholars from several research institutes indicated that the competitiveness of local companies appears to have declined over the years. As the electronics and optical industry produces the bulk of Taiwan's exports, Taiwan's IT sector has a pressing need to innovate.

Sickos come in all stripes. Who knew?
During the 2009 meeting with LDS Stake President Mitch Jones, the father of Brock's victim asked her point-blank if she was having a sexual relationship with his son. Brock denied it -- with her county supervisor husband sitting in the room with her.
Why didn't the victim's father go directly to the police instead of meeting with the LDS official with his suspicions?
