- Seat CoversHow To Install A Set Of Custom Seat CoversThe design and construction of seat covers have truly come a long way. Computer-aided design and better production methods have allowed the creation of modern seat covers that are custom-tailored to fit individual makes and models - stretching like a glove over every contour. And thanks to modern materials, today's covers will stay form-fittingly snug over each fold and crease - even under heavy use. Passengers won't notice they are add-ons, and you may forget they're not original equipment yourself. Installation is relatively easy and does not require any tools because seat covers we sell come equipped with all the straps, zippers, and clips you'll need to snugly secure them in place.May 05, 2016
- Seat CoversWhich Seat Cover Fabric Works Best For My Needs?Seat cover design and construction have progressed a great deal in recent decades. Not so long ago, the phrase "automotive seat cover" brought to mind loose-fitting lamb's wool or sheepskin covers which slid over an entire seat like a leaf bag. This type of cover was virtually the only choice available, so the fact that they fit poorly, slid off the seats, and constantly pulled up at the corners was taken in stride because they were, after all, one-size-fits-all products. Since they were universally shaped, a single product was tasked with fitting seats in large pickup trucks as well as those in snug sports cars.June 30, 2015
- Pet TravelWhich Seat Cover Works Best With Pets?If you own a dog, chances are you already know the joy that comes bringing them along in your car or truck. Part-best friend and part-family, dogs appreciate every nuance that riding in a car brings – things we used to appreciate as children but have forgotten as adults. Watching the scenery, hanging a head out the window to enjoy a cool breeze, and observing other animals in passing are just some of what bring dogs a great amount of pleasure during the ride.June 24, 2015
- Seat CoversUniversal & Custom Fit Seat CoversBecause many modern vehicles can travel a higher number of miles and continue to run and feel like new, many buyers looking at today's typical three-year old car have come to expect perfection, and are willing to pay for ones that look the part inside and out. Seat covers are probably the easiest and most effective way to keep your vehicle's interior looking new as long as you own it, which puts more money in your pocket when it's time to sell.January 20, 2014

Bring Your Bunny to Work Day Took a Turn When Bunny Was Hired [VIDEO]
I've had Graham for a couple of years now. He's a lion-head rabbit, which is why he's so poofy. It's also probably the reason he looks like a stuffed animal. I love his little face.
Everyone has wanted to meet him the most out of my "kids," so I thought why not do what I had done once before at my old job: "Bring Your Bunny to Work Day." I could never have expected to happen what happened though.

Bottle of red or bottle of white? We asked our resident wine expert, Ginny Mitchell, to weigh in on some of her favorites on the Trenchermen list.
Southern Oregon is an area I am very passionate about right now. Recently, I was introduced to a handful of producers in the region creating truly unique wines. I think there is a general misconception that red wine from Oregon is always Pinot Noir. While this holds true for the famed Willamette Valley, the Umpqua Valley, encompassing the new Elkton AVA (American Viticulture Area), and the Rogue Valley have a hotter climate that bodes well for a number of varietals. This can mean everything from Tempranillo to Syrah to Gewurztraminer. Not only is there more variety, the wines are often more economically priced.
At Trenchermen, we offer four different wines from Southern Oregon. The following are two of my favorites:
Brandborg 'Love Puppets' Pinot Noir, 2008, Umpqua Valley, Oregon $70
I'm a huge fan of Brandborg wine in general, so much so that on vacation in Willamette Valley, I drove the three and a half hour drive to Elkton just to see the winery and hang out with the winemakers (who are salt of the earth, great people). Terry and Sue Brandborg set up shop in Elkton in 2001 after searching for the ideal spot for growing Pinot Noir. Located in the Umpqua Valley, Elkton is 25 miles from the coast and is a cooler region found in the valley.
I am especially obsessed with 'Love Puppets' because it is very reminiscent of a Burgundy Pinot Noir, showing incredible terroir and characteristics of tart red cherry, caramel, and allspice while maintaining finesse. With a lighter body and beautifully balanced acid, the 'Love Puppets' pairs well with a variety of dishes.
Cliff Creek Cellars 'Claret', 2007, Rogue Valley, Oregon $74
Traveling further south to Rogue Valley AVA, you'll find Cliff Creek Cellars. Veteran winemaker Joe Dobbes apprenticed in both Germany and France, honing his craft with some of the most prestigious producers in the world. I was recently introduced to the Cliff Creek Cellars 'Claret'. This red 'Bordeaux' blend comes from estate fruit grown on Sams Valley Vineyard. The blend is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 20% Merlot, aged for over a year in French oak.
Tasting this wine was an experience in itself. When I took a whiff of the wine, I immediately knew I was going to enjoy it. The nose is intense and intricate, offering aromas of cedar, clove, allspice, violet, bacon and anise. The palate presents white and black pepper as well as darker, overripe fruits. This full bodied, juicy wine is perfect for the winter season!

No deal yet as issues remain
Despite afternoon rumors that a labor deal was done, those reporters closest to the talks knew better.
System issues remained to be hashed out as Thursday's meeting between the players executive committee and NBA officials went past the 9-hour mark at 9 p.m. EST.
How much longer Commissioner David Stern would remain locked in a room with union executive director Billy Hunter and union president Derek Fisher was unclear. And could they see their way toward a deal that could be ratified by both players and owners?
The alternative was not an appealing one, as Stern said a radically different offer would be made if the sides could not agree at this time in the negotiations. He essentially sidestepped his deadline of 5 p.m. EST Wednesday, but how long would he be able to hold off hard-line owners who wanted a tougher deal?
The players were determined not to give too much on luxury tax issues and the mid-level exception, after already conceding a great deal of ground on basketball-related income, moving at or near a 50-50 split after receiving 57% in the previous labor agreement.
Meanwhile, players waited anxiously for some news. Former Bucks guard T.J. Ford tweeted: "Is the lockout over yet!!!!!! And union executive committee member Roger Mason Jr. answered from the negotiating table or somewhere near it: "No bro. Still a ways away."

Stabilization exercises are intended to optimize function of the muscles that are believed to govern trunk stability. Debate exists whether certain muscles are more important than others in optimally performing these exercises. Thirty healthy volunteers were asked to perform three frequently prescribed stabilization exercises in four-point kneeling. The electromyographic activity of different trunk and hip muscles was evaluated. Average amplitudes obtained during the exercises were normalized to the amplitude in maximal voluntary contraction (% MVIC). During all three exercises, the highest relative muscle activity levels (> 20% MVIC) were consistently found in the ipsilateral lumbar multifidus and gluteus maximus. During both the single leg extension (exercise 1) and the leg and arm extension exercise (exercise 2) the contralateral internal oblique and ipsilateral external oblique reached high levels (> 20%MVIC). During exercise 2 there were also high relative activity levels of the ipsilateral lumbar part and the contralateral thoracic part of the iliocostalis lumborum and the contralateral lumbar multifidus. During the leg and arm extension exercise with contralateral hip flexion (exercise 3) there were high relative muscle activity levels of all back muscles, except for the latissimus dorsi muscle. The lowest relative muscle activity levels (< 10% MVIC) were found in the rectus abdominis and the ipsilateral internal oblique during all exercises, and in the contralateral gluteus maximus during exercises 1 and 2. The results of this study show that in exercises in four-point kneeling performed by healthy subjects, hip and trunk muscles seem to work together in a harmonious way. This shows that when relative activity of muscles is measured, both "global and local" muscles function together in order to stabilize the spine.
Joint stability is defined as the effective accommodation of the joints to each specific load demand through an adequately tailored joint compression (as a function of gravity and coordinated muscle and ligament forces) to produce effective joint reaction forces under changing conditions [43].
To meet this requirement for joint stability, specific training of the local muscles, like the lumbar multifidus (MF) and transversus abdominis (TA) muscles has been advocated [17, 35–38]. In particular, the difference in timing in so-called local and global muscles during specific exercises has been extensively investigated [18, 20, 21, 23]. In contrast, the current study focuses mainly on the evaluation of normal co-operative activity of several muscles by measuring the relative activity of these muscles.
The division into a local and global muscle system refers to the functional classification to discriminate between the muscles responsible for inter-segmental stability (local) and spine motion (global), based on the anatomical division proposed in 1989 by Bergmark [7]. More current research based on relative muscle activity levels and stability analysis has shown that because this classification is not necessarily correct, some rethinking may be required [10, 26, 27, 32].
The division of trunk muscles into local and global ones mainly results from seeing the muscles in isolation and not taking into account their intricate functional relationship with collagenous structures like the fascia. An example could be the action of the gluteus maximus (GM) and latissimus dorsi (LD); within the framework of local and global, these muscles would typically be classified as global [7]. However, Vleeming et al. [44] have proposed that tension in the posterior layer of the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) induced by the latter muscles may contribute to limitation of joint movement by simultaneously stiffening the muscles and fascia of the lumbar spine and sacroiliac joint while enabling transfer of loads between trunk and limbs. Besides the LD and GM the posterior layer of the TLF also has connections to the abdominal internal and external obliques, which was confirmed by Barker et al. [4].
Stabilization exercises are designed to improve function of the muscles that are believed to govern trunk stability and, when these muscles are functioning optimally, they will protect the spine from trauma [10]. Stabilization exercises are often used in clinical practice. The four-point kneeling position provides a relatively low-loaded, non-anti-gravity posture in which good balance can be easily achieved when a neutral spine position is maintained [14, 31].
The single leg extension task in four-point kneeling provides both low joint loading and limited muscular activity, suggesting that this position could be an appropriate choice for persons starting a rehabilitation program for lumbopelvic pain [8]. In four-point kneeling an isolated contraction of the inferior fibres of the internal oblique muscle (IO) can be achieved more often and more consistently compared with a prone position [6, 38]. Haynes [15] suggests that the four-point kneeling exercise involves the whole body and in this way it could prepare the muscular loop and slings for upright bipedal functional tasks.
Although these kinds of stabilization exercises are often used in clinical practice, a clear description of the relative muscle activity during these exercises has only been described in small unisex populations [27, 31], or with a restricted focus on certain muscles [1, 40].
Therefore this study investigated the relative activation level of certain trunk and hip muscles during these exercises in four-point kneeling. In this way a normative database, which is necessary to interpret the results of patients performing these exercises, can be created.
Thirty healthy volunteers (15 men and 15 women) participated in this study; their mean age was 19.6 (range 19–23) years, mean height was 176.6 (range 157–194) cm, and mean weight was 66.9 (range 42–84) kg. All subjects signed an informed consent. The subjects had no previous experience with stabilization exercises. Subjects were excluded if they reported any past or current low back pain (LBP), current neurologic deficits, and/or pain or disability of the upper or lower limbs. The Ethics Committee of the Ghent University Hospital approved the protocol.
The skin was prepared by shaving excess hair and rubbing the skin with alcohol to reduce impedance (typically ≤ 10 kΩ). Disposable Ag/AgCl surface electrodes (Blue Sensor, Medicotest GmbH, Germany) were attached parallel to the muscle fibre orientation, bilaterally over the following abdominal muscles: internal oblique (IO) [13, 24, 41], external oblique (EO) [8, 9, 13, 24, 41, 42] and rectus abdominis (RA) [2, 3, 8, 9, 13, 40]. Marshall et al. [30] showed that on the site medial and inferior to the anterior superior iliac spine, the fibres of the TA and IO are blended, so a distinction between the muscle signals cannot be made in this location. The selected back muscles were: lumbar multifidus (MF) [11, 29], the lumbar part of the iliocostalis lumborum (ICLL) (lateral to the vertical line through the posterior superior iliac spine, above the iliac crest) [29] and the thoracic part of the iliocostalis lumborum (ICLT) [11, 13, 29]. Regarding the arm and leg movements, the activity of the latissimus dorsi (LD) [13] and gluteus maximus (GM) [13] were measured.
The maximum interelectrode spacing between the recording electrodes was 2.5 cm as recommended by Ng et al. [33], and each electrode had an approximately 1.0 cm² pick-up area. The raw surface electromyographic signals were analogue/digital (A/D) converted (12-bit resolution) at 1,000 Hz (MyoSystem 1400 Noraxon).
Three-dimensional data of the movements were collected by using an ultrasonic movement analysis system (Zebris CMS 50, Isny, Germany) with local markers. Spatial marker positions were derived by angulation and used to standardize the angular positions of the lumbar spine (L1, L3, L5) in the sagittal plane.
Maximum voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC) of the muscles were measured in three trials before the experimental tasks. These exercises were performed to provide a basis for EMG signal amplitude normalization [1–3, 6, 13, 24, 40, 42]. Danneels et al. reported a description of the different isometric exercises [13].
After the registration of the MVICs, the subjects performed three experimental exercises often used in clinical practice to train stability of the lower back. These exercises were performed in the four-point kneeling position with movements of the extremities of both sides (Figs. 1, ,2,2, ,3).3). The exercises were executed in a random sequence. To standardize the position of the subject and the equipment, markers were placed on the floor. At the beginning of each exercise a neutral spine position was assumed by the examiner and the subject was encouraged to hold this position during the course of the total exercise. The neutral spine position was set about halfway between full extension and a flat position of the spine [11]. The dynamic phases, lifting and lowering of the extremities and movement of the trunk, lasted 2 s. During the static phase, the leg was held for 5 s in an extended position. The pace of 60 beats/min was set by a metronome. Three trials for every exercise were performed. A pause of at least 15 s was allowed between the trials. The starting positions of the lumbar spine were determined in the sagittal plane. The complementary angle between the line connecting the markers on the spinous process of L1 and L3 and the line connecting the markers on the spinous process of L3 and L5 was calculated.
For the EMG amplitude analysis, manually selected, artefact-free, raw EMG sections were used. The stored data were full-wave rectified and smoothed. For each of the muscles the root mean square (RMS) was calculated for the three repetitions of the different exercises. The mean MVICs were used to provide a basis for EMG signal amplitude normalization. The static phases of the exercises were analysed, using an interval of 4,700 ms after the defined starting point of the holding position. The mean (of the three repetitions) normalized EMG values were calculated. Noraxon MyoResearch software 2.10 was used. The ipsilateral and contralateral muscle activity values during the asymmetric bridging exercises were averaged. Ipsilateral involved the same side as the extended leg and contralateral represented the other side. Three general activity levels were created: high, moderate, and low relative muscle activity.
Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 11.0 software package (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL) for Windows. The level for statistical significance was set at α = 0.05. A two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyse the effects of the factors muscle and exercise. There was a significant interaction between the two factors (P < 0.001). Consequently, least significant difference LSD post-hoc tests were performed on the differences between the muscles in the separate exercises. Given the huge amount of data, only the most relevant differences in relation to the research question are presented in the results section.
Figures 4 and and55 present the relative EMG levels (% MVIC) of the different muscles, and a classification is made into high, moderate and low muscle activity.
The muscles that show high relative activity (> 20% MVIC) during all exercises are the ipsilateral MF and GM; the difference in activity between these two muscles is not significant (P ≤ 0.44). During exercises 1 and 2 the abdominal obliques, contralateral IO and ipsilateral EO, show a similar high relative muscle activity (P ≤ 0.86). During exercise 3, both the ICLL and ICLT (on both sides) have high activity levels. In contrast, during exercise 2, only the relative muscle activity of the ipsilateral ICLL and contralateral ICLT is high. During exercises 2 and 3, the relative muscle activity of the contralateral MF is high.
The muscles that demonstrate a moderate relative muscle activity (10–20% MVIC) during all exercises are the contralateral EO and the bilateral LD; there is no significant difference between the activity of the contralateral EO and the LD (P ≤ 0.94), or between the two LD muscles (P ≤ 0.74). The abdominal obliques, contralateral IO and ipsilateral EO (no significant difference: P = 0.41), and the contralateral GM show a moderate relative muscle activity only during exercise 3. The relative muscle activity of the GM is not significantly different from the activity of the abdominal obliques during this exercise (P ≤ 0.22). The contralateral ICLL and the ipsilateral ICLT show similar (P ≤ 0.76) moderate activity levels during exercises 1 and 2. In addition, the ipsilateral ICLL and the contralateral ICLT and MF show moderate activity levels only in exercise 1; in this exercise the difference between the ICLL and ICLT muscle activity is not significant (P = 0.93), but the relative muscle activity of the contralateral MF is significantly lower than that of the ipsilateral ICLL (P = 0.01) and the contralateral ICLT (P = 0.01).
A low relative muscle activity (< 10% MVIC) is created by the ipsilateral IO, the contralateral GM (except for exercise 3), and the bilateral RA. The bilateral RA shows a significantly lower relative muscle activity compared with all other muscles during all exercises. In exercises 1 and 2 the ipsilateral RA is also significantly lower than the contralateral RA. In exercise 1, the contralateral GM muscle activity is significantly lower than the ipsilateral muscle activity of the IO, but not in exercise 2.
The measurements of the lumbar curve in the sagittal plane at the beginning of the exercises were 13.06° ± 5.00° (range 4.17°–21.87°) in exercise 1, 12.65° ± 4.77° (range 3.08°–21.19°) in exercise 2, and 11.72° ± 3.95° (range 3.47°–19.58°) in exercise 3.
The present study investigated the relative activation levels of major trunk and hip muscles during exercises in four-point kneeling. A classification into three general activity levels was created, and a possible relationship with the anatomical classification of local and global muscles was studied.
The ipsilateral GM and MF show a high relative muscle activity (> 20% MVIC) during all exercises in four-point kneeling. Although this is in accordance with earlier studies [1, 8, 40], the latter results are only available for certain muscles, and only for exercises 1 and 2. In addition, our results seem to indicate that the chosen sequence of the presented exercises challenging the balance and whole body stability correlates with increased and more varied muscle activity.
The results also show a high activity of the contralateral IO and the ipsilateral EO during exercises 1 and 2. As previous studies showed lower activity levels of these muscles during exercises 1 and 2 [8, 40], these results raise doubts about the statement that this type of exercise mainly activates the paraspinal muscles and not the abdominal muscles [8]. It was suggested that the contralateral IO muscles were activated to maintain a neutral pelvis and spine posture, in effect balancing the internal moments and lateral shear forces [8], but this seems to occur in association with ipsilateral EO activity. In this way, the results of the current study indicate that the abdominal obliques to create a stable unit accomplish an ideal co-operation.
Also dorsally, there seems to be a co-operation between the ipsilateral and contralateral back muscles. Recruitment patterns of the ipsilateral ICLL together with the contralateral ICLT are recognized. This is consistent with the findings of Callaghan et al. [8], although that group reported lower activity levels concerning the contralateral MF.
The contralateral EO and the bilateral LD show moderate activity levels (10–20% MVIC) during all exercises. In contrast to earlier findings [8], the results of the present study show that extension of the upper extremity does not seem to influence the LD muscle activity. In general, in contrast to its classification as a "global" muscle, symmetrical activity is confirmed during all exercises. A possible reason for such equalized action of the LD could be the tensioning of the TLF in a cranial direction, needed to control the trunk irrespective of the movement or position of the upper limb.
In exercise 3 there are moderate relative activity levels in both the contralateral IO and the ipsilateral EO, and the difference between them is not significant. It seems as if the contralateral IO and the ipsilateral EO can play a role in supporting the stable position to control the neutral spine position. This can not be confirmed by earlier research, as some researchers did not discriminate between ipsilateral and contralateral muscle activity [1, 40] and others did not generalize to those terms because of varied results for the contralateral IO [31]. The hip flexion that is added in exercise 3 in comparison to exercise 2 seems to create a lower abdominal muscle activity (P ≤ 0.005, except for the ipsilateral IO).
The ICLL and ICLT seem to act together and also reach similar moderate activity levels [8]. By the stretch the hip flexion in exercise 3 causes on the contralateral GM, this muscle exhibits a significant higher muscle activity in exercise 3 in comparison to exercise 2 (P < 0.001). It seems that to counteract the more challenging body position by adding the hip flexion, there is a compensation of the ipsilateral GM and ICLT and the contralateral MF.
The low-level symmetric activity of the RA throughout all exercises is confirmed by previous studies [8, 40] and by studies of related exercises [6]. According to Callaghan et al. [8] it indicates that this muscle was not functionally active and did not contribute to stability. However, as the muscle is bilaterally active at a constant level during all exercises, stability analysis (including external loads) is needed to assume that the limited activity is irrelevant. In the current study the contralateral GM also seems to show relative low activity levels during exercises 1 and 2. During all exercises (even on the side opposite to the leg extension) the GM muscle is still active, preventing flexion of the hips and thus preventing destabilization of the spine. The ipsilateral IO also creates a small relative muscle activity.
Although a distinction is made between high, moderate and low relative muscle activity, the electromyographic activity never exceeds 32% of MVIC. It is mentioned that useful stabilization exercises for the clinic with the aim to hold and control the lumbar spine in a neutral position, work the trunk muscles at approximately 30% of their maximum [25].
The results of this study show that in uncomplicated exercises in four-point kneeling performed by healthy subjects, the investigated muscles seem to work together in a harmonious way. These results tend to confirm the recent findings describing that, based on relative muscle activity, no single muscle appears to be superior in enhancing spine stability, but as loads are applied to the spine there is an integration of the different muscles in order to balance the stability and moment demands [26, 27]. However, the results of this four-point kneeling position cannot be extrapolated to the erect posture, which is the usual posture for the population being investigated.
It seems relevant that in the present study muscles are active in stabilization exercises that are also strongly related to the main thoracolumbar fascia (TLF), such as the IO, EO, GM and LD. Muscles like the ICLL, ICLT and MF have a hydraulic amplifier effect on the different layers of the TLF. The posterior layer of the TLF is ideally positioned to regulate tension via its extensive muscular attachments to both "local" and "global" muscles [5]. When loading the TLF for instance by the IO or EO, deformation and structural integrity of the fascia should be protected by muscles like the LD and GM. The overall effect of these muscles acting together could have a positive cascading effect on the stiffening of both the lumbar spine and sacroiliac joint [44].
Based on the results of differences in cross-sectional area [12, 16] and timing [19, 22], there may be some inhibition of certain muscles and dominance of other muscles [38] to maintain a stable body position in LBP patients. The RA activity during flexion-extension movements [39] and the EO activity during both flexion-extension [39] and left rotation movements [34], as well as the muscle activity of the left thoracic erector spinae during lateral flexion movements [28] were higher in LBP patients than in healthy controls. However, during coordination and left rotation exercises the MF showed lower activity levels in LBP patients than in healthy controls [11, 34]. So-called local muscles might demonstrate lower and so-called global muscles higher activity levels in LBP patients compared to healthy subjects. The present study, describing both local and global muscle activity, provides a normative database, which allows comparison with specific pain populations in future research. Apart from the muscle activity levels, further integrated research on muscle strength, muscle timing and movement patterns in specific LBP populations is necessary to effectively distinguish between normal and abnormal spinal function.
Based on the harmonious way in which all trunk and hip muscles work together in controlling the neutral spine position during these exercises in four-point kneeling, no single muscle seems to be superior in enhancing spine stability, at least seen from the perspective of muscle activity and not timing. Our study results indicate that both "global and local" muscles function together to stabilize the spine, and this study provides a normative database with which to compare specific pain populations in future research.

DAVID BOTTKE, PLAINTIFF,v.STATE FARM FIRE AND CASUALTY CO., DEFENDANT.
Plaintiff David Bottke brings this action against Defendant State Farm Fire and Casualty Company ("State Farm"), alleging that State Farm breached its insurance contract with him and violated Pennsylvania's Bad Faith Statute, 42 Pa. Cons. Stat. Ann. § 8371 (2008). Currently before the Court is Defendant's motion for partial summary judgment on Plaintiff's bad faith claim. For the following reasons, Defendant's motion is granted.
A. Facts
Plaintiff has a homeowner's insurance policy, as well as several endorsements to that policy, with Defendant. (Def.'s Mot. for Partial Summ. J. [hereinafter "Def.'s Mot."] ¶ 8.) On February 16, 2007, the furnace in Plaintiff's home broke, causing the pipes to freeze and burst, resulting in water damage to his home. (Id. ¶ 9; Pl.'s Resp. to Def.'s Mot. for Partial Summ. J. [hereinafter "Pl.'s Resp."] Ex. C [Letter from AMC Plumbing] & Ex. D [Claim Log] at SF084.) Plaintiff reported the loss to State Farm that same day. (Def.'s Mot.¶¶ 9-10.) On February 20, 2007, Alice Hoffman, the State Farm representative handling Plaintiff's claim, and James Wagner, Plaintiff's public adjuster, inspected Plaintiff's home. (Id. ¶¶ 10, 16; Claim Log at SF083.) Wagner also called a contractor, FloorWorks, to perform emergency services, including drywall and flooring removal. (Def.'s Mot. ¶ 16; Claim Log at SF083.) At some point after inspecting the property, Wagner submitted an estimate of $87,728.31 to State Farm for the loss. (Pl.'s Resp. Ex. F [Wagner Estimate].)
After an initial inquiry, State Farm determined that Plaintiff's loss was covered.*fn1 (Def's. Mot. ¶¶ 15, 24; Claim Log at SF077; Def.'s Mot. Ex. E [Feb. 20, 2007 Letter].) Accordingly, State Farm issued payment to FloorWorks for the emergency services it performed, issued Plaintiff an advance payment that he had requested, and scheduled a time for a building contractor, Madsen Kneppers & Associates ("MKA"), to perform an inspection. (Def's. Mot. ¶¶ 24-25; Claim Log at SF077, SF082.) On April 20, 2007, Ron Mahon of MKA and Wagner inspected the water damage to Plaintiff's house. (Claim Log at SF076.) After inspecting the property, Mahon requested, from State Farm, FloorWorks's supporting documentation for the loss and a copy of a report completed by the HVAC contractor, who inspected the property on March 2, 2007. (Id. at SF075, SF083.) Hoffman followed up accordingly. (Id. at SF075.)
State Farm received a copy of MKA's estimate on June 4, 2007. (Id. at SF073.) The estimate states, under the heading "General Notes," that it was "derived from repair recommendations based on the following": (1) "a site investigation performed by MKA on April 20, 2007"; (2) "site notes, phote [sic] documentation and take-offs at the time of inspection"; and (3) "discussions with David Bottke (homeowner) and James Wagner from Alliance Adjuster Group." (Pl.'s Resp. Ex. E [MKA Estimate] at SF138.) The estimate describes the damage as follows: "On February 16, 2007 a frozen water pipe was discovered to have burst in the baseboard heater on the east wall of the left (east) front bedroom. The house sustained water damage." (Id.) The scope of the estimate "include[d] replacement of water damaged materials throughout the house," which MKA estimated to be $37,687.87. (Id. at SF137-138.)
After reviewing MKA's estimate and comparing it with Wagner's estimate, Hoffman sent a letter to Plaintiff on June 21, 2007, enclosing payment of $21,509.98 per the MKA estimate with some adjustments and attaching a copy of the estimate for Plaintiff's review. (Claim Log at SF073, SF234; Def.'s Mot. Ex. L [June 21, 2007 Letter].) The June 21, 2007 letter explained that State Farm had deducted from the MKA estimate the amount that State Farm already paid to Plaintiff and amounts attributable to a prior overlapping loss.*fn2 (Def.'s Mot. ¶ 29; June 21, 2007 Letter.) The letter also explained that State Farm had adjusted the estimate for depreciation and to include twenty-percent overhead and profit instead of the fifteen-percent figure used by MKA. (June 21, 2007 Letter.)
On October 24, 2007, Hoffman and Michael Pacchione, Hoffman's team manager, met with Wagner to reinspect the property and discuss their differing estimates. (Def.'s Mot. ¶ 33; Claim Log at SF068.) State Farm contends that Wagner agreed to review and revise his estimate, while Plaintiff asserts that Wagner only agreed to review his estimate and revise if appropriate. (Def.'s Mot. ¶ 33; Claim Log at SF068; Pl.'s Resp. Ex. A [Wagner Aff.] ¶ 10.) Irrespectively, Hoffman and Pacchione subsequently spoke with Ron Mahon of MKA and requested a revised estimate based on their discussions with Wagner. (Claim Log at SF067.) State Farm ultimately paid Plaintiff an additional $1,245.07 based on MKA's revised estimate. (Def.'s Mot. ¶ 38; Def.'s Mot. Ex. S [Nov. 28, 2007 Letter].) The revised estimate, which was included in a November 28, 2007 letter to Wagner with State Farm's additional payment, contains the same general notes and damage description as the initial estimate. (Nov. 28, 2007 Letter.)
Shortly after the October 24, 2007 meeting, Wagner advised Hoffman of additional damages. (Def.'s Mot. ¶ 34; Def.'s Mot. Ex. P [Oct. 28, 2007 Letter].) Wagner reported that FloorWorks recommended removal of part of the second floor hall bathroom walls, and that Plaintiff's plumber, AMC Plumbing, discovered two additional leaks that needed repair. (Oct. 28, 2007 Letter.) Plaintiff also submitted an invoice from AMC plumbing for $5,000.00 for the repair of the broken pipes. (Def.'s Mot. Ex. R [Letters Regarding Invoice]; Letter from AMC Plumbing.) After speaking with Charlie Heiland of AMC Plumbing to ensure that the repairs related to Plaintiff's loss, Hoffman sent Wagner a check for $5,000.00 to cover the repairs. (Def.'s Mot. ¶ 36; Claim Log at SF066-67; Letters Regarding Invoice.)
On November 19, 2007, Wagner sent Hoffman a letter requesting that she add to the estimate the cost of tearing out the walls in the second floor hall bathroom. (Def.'s Mot. ¶ 37; Def.'s Ex. S [Nov. 19, 2007 Letter].) Hoffman followed up with Mahon of MKA regarding whether tearing out these walls was necessary as a result of Plaintiff's loss. (Claim Log at SF065.) In a December 5, 2007 letter, Hoffman informed Wagner that, based on MKA's opinion, State Farm did not consider the removal of walls necessary. (Def.'s Mot. Ex. T [Dec. 5, 2007 Letter].)
On February 11, 2008, Plaintiff filed his Complaint in state court. Defendant subsequently removed the matter to this Court. The case was initially sent to arbitration; Plaintiff appealed for a trial de novo, which is scheduled for January 26, 2009.
B. Contentions
The parties do not dispute that Plaintiff's property was damaged on February 16, 2007 nor do they dispute that the loss is covered - indeed, they agree that State Farm paid Bottke $42,307.75 in connection with his claim.*fn3 (Def.'s Mot. ¶¶ 7, 24.) Instead, the parties dispute the scope of repairs and method of repairs necessary to properly restore Plaintiff's property. This will be the focus of Plaintiff's breach of contract claim at trial. The focus of the instant motion, however, is Plaintiff's bad faith claim. Plaintiff claims that when Hoffman hired MKA, she falsely represented that there was only one leak at Plaintiff's house when she knew that there were several. According to Plaintiff, this led MKA's representative, who inspected Plaintiff's property and prepared an estimate accordingly, to drastically underestimate the cost of the repairs. Thus, Hoffman was aware that MKA had underestimated the extent of Plaintiff's loss and State Farm therefore acted in bad faith in relying on the estimate (thereby denying Plaintiff additional monies he is entitled to) because State Farm knew it to be inaccurate.
This allegation of bad faith - Hoffman's alleged misrepresentation of the number of leaks - is the sole basis for Plaintiff's bad faith claim on summary judgment. Although Plaintiff's Complaint alleged seventeen examples of State Farm's bad faith, Plaintiff pursues none of these on summary judgment. In fact, at oral argument, Plaintiff's counsel suggested that he only learned of a basis for his bad faith claim at the arbitration in this case. In other words, Plaintiff's counsel seems to imply that he had no basis for his bad faith claim when he filed it.
In support of his bad faith claim, Plaintiff relies primarily on a statement from Wagner in which Wagner attests that he, Hoffman and Pacchione were in agreement that the damage to Plaintiff's home was caused by several, not just one, pipes that burst, but that he "hear[d] the representative from MKA say that he was told by Alice Hoffman that there was only once [sic] leak in the property." (Wagner Aff. ¶¶ 11, 13.) Wagner further attests that "Hoffman herself . . . admitted that she told MKA that there was only one leak" and that "[t]he MKA representative also conceded that had he been told the truth about the number of leaks it would have affected his estimate." (Id. ¶¶ 13-14.) At oral argument, Plaintiff's counsel explained that he had not deposed Hoffman or Wagner, but alleged that these statements were made in the course of the arbitration (of which there is no transcript). Defendant, of course, disputes that Hoffman specifically represented that there was only one leak on the property and disputes Wagner's account of the MKA representative's testimony. In support of his theory, Plaintiff also relies on a letter from AMC Plumbing to Wagner, which indicates that multiple pipes at Plaintiff's house needed repair, and MKA's estimate, which, in its description of the damages, notes that "a pipe was discovered to have burst" at Plaintiff's property. (Letter from AMC Plumbing; MKA Estimate at SF138 (emphasis added).)
Summary judgment is appropriate when the admissible evidence fails to demonstrate a dispute of material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. FED. R. CIV. P. 56(c); Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 247-48 (1986). When the moving party does not bear the burden of persuasion at trial, it may meet its burden on summary judgment by showing that the nonmoving party's evidence is insufficient to carry its burden of persuasion at trial. Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323-24 (1986). Thereafter, the nonmoving party demonstrates a genuine issue of material fact if sufficient evidence is provided to allow a reasonable finder of fact to find for the nonmoving party at trial. Anderson, 477 U.S. at 248. In reviewing the record, "a court must view the facts in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party and draw all inferences in that party's favor." Armbruster v. Unisys Corp., 32 F.3d 768, 777 (3d Cir. 1994). Furthermore, a court may not make credibility determinations or weigh the evidence in making its determination. See Reeves v. Sanderson Plumbing Prods., 530 U.S. 133, 150 (2000); see also Goodman v. Pa. Tpk. Comm'n, 293 F.3d 655, 665 (3d Cir. 2002).
Pennsylvania's Bad Faith Statute provides a cause of action when an insurer "act[s] in bad faith towards the insured." 42 PA. CONS. STAT. ANN. § 8371. In the insurance context, "bad faith" is defined as "any frivolous or unfounded refusal to pay proceeds of a policy." Terletsky v. Prudential Prop. & Cas. Ins. Co., 649 A.2d 680, 688 (Pa. Super. Ct. 1994) (quoting Black's Law Dictionary 139 (6th ed. 1990)). In order to prevail on a bad faith claim, an insured must show that the insurer did not have a reasonable basis for denying benefits under the policy and that the insurer knew of or recklessly disregarded its lack of reasonable basis in denying those benefits. UPMC Health Sys. v. Metro. Life Ins. Co., 391 F.3d 497, 505 (3d Cir. 2004) (citing Terletsky, 649 A.2d 680). To constitute bad faith for the failure to pay a claim, the insurer must have a dishonest purpose. The Nw. Mut. Life Ins. Co. v. Babayan, 430 F.3d 121, 137 (3d Cir. 2005). Although the refusal to pay need not be fraudulent, mere negligence or bad judgment is insufficient. Id.
The burden rests with the insured to show bad faith by clear and convincing evidence. Polselli v. Nationwide Mut. Fire Ins. Co., 126 F.3d 524, 528 (3d Cir. 1997). To satisfy this standard, the insured must present evidence "so clear, direct, weighty and convincing as to enable a clear conviction, without hesitation, about whether or not the defendants acted in bad faith." Bostick v. ITT Hartford Group, Inc., 56 F. Supp. 2d 580, 587 (E.D. Pa. 1999); Terletsky, 649 A.2d at 688 ("[B]ad faith must be proven by clear and convincing evidence and not merely insinuated."). The clear and convincing standard raises the insured's burden in opposing a summary judgment motion "because the court must view the evidence presented in light of the substantive evidentiary burden at trial." Babayan, 430 F.3d at 137 (internal quotations omitted). Furthermore, since the essence of a bad faith claim is the denial of benefits without good reason, an insurer is entitled to summary judgment if it can show a reasonable basis for its actions. See Jung v. Nationwide Mut. Fire. Ins. Co., 949 F. Supp. 353, 360 (E.D. Pa. 1997); Quaciari v. Allstate Ins. Co., 998 F. Supp. 578, 581 n.3 (E.D. Pa. 1998), aff'd, 172 F.3d 860 (3d Cir. 1998) (Table).
State Farm argues that Plaintiff cannot prevail on his bad faith claim because it did not deny his claim, and in fact, paid a substantial sum to cover the loss. Alternatively, State Farm argues that even if Plaintiff's bad faith claim is cognizable, it fails because State Farm "promptly processed, investigated, and resolved Plaintiff's concerns and paid him all amounts due under his policy," and acted reasonably in reliance on MKA's estimates.*fn4 (Def.'s Mot. at 12, 14.) Plaintiff counters that bad faith claims are not limited to claim denials and that he has produced sufficient evidence of bad faith since Hoffman misrepresented crucial facts to the contractor she retained to examine the damage.
An insurer need not deny a claim outright to trigger liability under the Bad Faith Statute. See UPMC, 391 F.3d at 506 ("While the alleged bad faith need not be limited to the literal act of denying a claim . . . the essence of a bad faith claim must be the unreasonable and intentional (or reckless) denial of benefits.") (emphasis added); Robbins v. Metro. Life Ins. Co., Civ. A. No. 08-0191, 2008 WL 5412087, at *7 (E.D. Pa. Dec. 29, 2008) ("[A] bad faith claim does not require the denial of benefits; rather, a plaintiff can ultimately receive benefits from the defendant and still allege bad faith based on the temporary denial or suspension of benefits."); O'Donnell v. Allstate Ins. Co., 734 A.2d 901, 906 (Pa. Super. Ct. 1999) ("[S]section 8371 is not restricted to an insurer's bad faith in denying a claim."). Accordingly, the mere fact that State Farm did not deny Plaintiff's claim outright does not insulate it from a bad faith claim. See Hollock v. Erie Ins. Exch., 842 A.2d 409 (Pa. Super. Ct. 2004) (upholding finding of bad faith where insurer, among other things, arbitrarily valued plaintiff's claim).
However, this does not mean that Plaintiff's bad faith claim overcomes summary judgment. Plaintiff's claim rests almost entirely on two paragraphs of his public adjuster's statement - that Wagner heard an MKA representative, presumably Mahon, state that Hoffman told him there was only one leak on the property and that Mahon's estimate would have been higher had he known the truth, i.e., that there were multiple leaks. Although Plaintiff also points to MKA's initial estimate as additional evidence in support of his theory, because the estimate notes that "[o]n February 16, 2007 a frozen water pipe was discovered to have burst," the document expressly states that it was based on the April 20, 2007 inspection of the premises, notes and photographs taken at the inspection, and discussions with Plaintiff and Wagner, who were presumably vigilant in ensuring that Mahon appreciated the extent of damage to the property. (MKA Estimate at SF138 (emphasis added).) There is no mention of Ms. Hoffman and no indication that anything she might have conveyed to MKA was considered when figuring the estimate. Furthermore, nothing about MKA's estimate suggests that it was predicated on the number of pipes that burst, rather than the damages caused to Plaintiff's home. Instead, the estimate was for "replacement of water damaged materials throughout the house." (Id. (emphasis added).)
Even taking as true that Hoffman told MKA that there was only one leak on Plaintiff's property and that this statement somehow adversely impacted MKA's estimate, there is no evidence that Hoffman acted in bad faith. Indeed, this Court asked Plaintiff's counsel at oral argument how knowledge of multiple leaks would have altered the contractor's estimate, but he was unable to render an explanation other than to generally suggest that the estimate would have been higher. Furthermore, the number of leaks is irrelevant given the contractor's review of the damage caused, especially since State Farm paid the plumber to fix the leaks and that the parties sole dispute now is the cost of repairs to the home.
In this respect, this case is distinguishable from Atiyeh v. Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Co., 185 F. Supp. 2d 436 (E.D. Pa. 2002), on which Plaintiff so heavily relies. In Atiyeh, the plaintiff sustained personal injuries in a car accident. The defendant-insurer initially paid upwards of twenty-thousand dollars in wage loss benefits to the plaintiff. Nine months after the accident, one of defendant's agents decided to request an independent medical examination ("IME") and contacted Concentra Medical Examinations, a vendor used by the insurer, in that regard. The doctor whom the vendor selected to perform the IME received the file, which included a referral letter cc'ing defendant's agent and stating that: "Claimant is not working. Address return to work issues. Restrictions. Anticipated duration of any restrictions. Timeframes for reasonable full and partial disability status. Please see enclosed pictures of claimant's car depicting very minimal damage!
Claimant has been out on disability for 9 months now!" Id. at 438 (quoting referral letter). The doctor's post-IME report opined that the plaintiff was not disabled and was capable of performing the responsibilities of her job, and the insurer terminated the plaintiff's wage loss benefits on that basis.
The insurer moved for summary judgment on the plaintiff's bad faith claim, but the court denied the motion, concluding that an issue of material fact existed as to "whether the IME was a reasonable basis for Defendant to discontinue Plaintiff's wage loss benefits, because [the doctor performing the IME] may have been unduly influenced by the statements on the Concentra referral letter." Atiyeh, 185 F. Supp. 2d at 440.This was because the letter suggested to the doctor how he should opine as to the plaintiff's condition.
The evidence in this case falls far short of the evidence of bad faith in Atiyeh. Whereas the Atiyeh plaintiff could point to a smoking gun, Plaintiff here relies on unwarranted conjecture. In Atiyeh there was a rational basis for concluding that the letter indicating that the insured sustained minimal damage, insinuating that her disability was questionable, and requesting that the doctor "address return to work issues" suggested to the doctor that he should opine that the insured was not, in fact, disabled. In contrast, a jury could not reasonably infer that Hoffman's alleged statement that the contractor should investigate "a" leak at Plaintiff's house was intended to influence an estimate intended to repair the Plaintiff's home based on the damage sustained, especially since the estimate does not suggest any foul play on its face. Indeed, Plaintiff himself cannot articulate how the estimate was affected by this alleged misrepresentation. Furthermore, State Farm acted in good faith by meeting with Wagner, having MKA revise its estimate, paying additional funds to Plaintiff, and promptly paying for the plumber's repairs to fix the multiple leaks. Without clear and convincing evidence from which a jury could conclude that Hoffman manipulated the MKA estimate, State Farm can show a reasonable basis for its actions. Accordingly, summary judgment is warranted on Plaintiff's bad faith claim. See Albert v. Nationwide Mutual Fire Ins. Co., Civ. A. No. 99-1953, 2001 WL 34035315, at *7 (M.D. Pa. May 22, 2001) (granting summary judgment on plaintiff's bad faith claim because "[a]n issue of fact exist[ed] as to the actual value of the loss, but the Plaintiffs have failed to show by clear and convincing evidence that Defendants acted in bad faith by providing Plaintiffs with their estimate").
Since Plaintiff falls far short of establishing that Defendant acted in bad faith, summary judgment is warranted. An appropriate Order follows.
AND NOW, this 22ndday of January, 2009, upon consideration of Defendant's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment and Plaintiff's Response thereto, after oral argument on January 21, 2009 and for the foregoing reasons, it is hereby ORDERED that:
1. Defendants' motion (Document No. 25) is GRANTED.
2. Plaintiff's bad faith claim is hereby DISMISSED.

This month we introduce you to Steve Groseclose, Senior Director of Risk Management, Sustainability & Real Estate at GLOBALFOUNDRIES U.S. Inc., one of the members who helps make our network so unique.
NAEM provides not only an effective way to keep current on developments but to get exposure to new perspectives. That's particularly important to help avoid industry-specific blinders that can limit creativity and effectiveness. I'm looking forward to expanding this to our entire team with GLOBALFOUNDRIES joining as a corporate member.
I get to look across a broad range of EHS and risk management issues daily and draw on my multi-disciplinary background. We are a lean and fast- paced company, providing plenty of opportunity to dive into issues and engineer solutions.
We come from a proud line of EHS and sustainability innovation from AMD, Chartered Semiconductor, and most recently IBM's Semiconductor Division. There's a trove of awards across decades. Personally, for me the one that stands out is our EPA Climate Protection Award from 2008, shortly GLOBALFOUNDRIES was established from AMD's semiconductor wafer fab operations. That award came at a pivotal time of integrating sustainability into the company from design to operations to marketing of consumer products. More recently, at Fab 8 in Malta, New York, acceptance into the Leadership Tier of the New York Environmental Leaders program and LEED Gold certifications cap off a 6+ year effort to establish this site and develop mature programs. Our Singapore site is a frequent winner of Workplace Safety & Health Council awards. The awards and accomplishments of IBM's Microelectronics Division are too many to list, and together we look forward to continuing and improving upon that proud history.
In 2008 – in the run up to the launch of GLOBALFOUNDRIES - there was a need to design an organizational model to prepare for and adapt to the sea change for our company and the industry as a whole. The approach we developed -- Integrated EHS, Security, Risk Management and Real Estate -- has proven itself over a fascinating period of growth and change for our company and the industry. We're lean, integrated, and flexible. And we continue to find ways to add value to the company and adapt to new challenges.
Don't fixate on a clear career path. Soak it all up and be prepared to take on new challenges wherever and whenever they arise. Each one is a unique learning opportunity.
I am fascinated by the complexity in small things and "empty spaces". Take a close look. There's a lot out there.
Play with my kids, and ride my bike (along and/or with the family) and work on my house.

When NAEM joins the Greenway Foundation for a cleanup along the South Fork of the Platte River in downtown Denver later this month, its efforts will be powered by environmental, safety and sustainability leaders from companies such as Toyota Motor North America Inc., Procter & Gamble Co., Lockheed Martin Corp., Bose Corp. and The WhiteWave Foods Co.
Each year NAEM's annual conference convenes more than 550 attendees for a three-day showcase of the latest strategies corporate environment, health, safety and sustainability (EHS&S) leaders are using to keep employees safe, minimize their company's environmental footprint and deliver business value through sustainability programs.

In many situations you may be required to provide an important document such as your passport, birth certificate, identification card or academic records for an application or as a supporting document. Rather than submitting the original document, in most cases a Certified True Copy will suffice.
When you need a Certified True Copy of a document, a Notary Public is required in most jurisdictions. At Red Seal Notary, we certify a photocopy of your original document as being a true or genuine copy of the original by affixing a signature, seal and statement to that effect on the copy. As a result, the veracity of the copy is assured to persons to whom the photocopied document is later presented.
Certified copies are commonly required for academic, employment, and government applications. A foreign University may want certified copies of your degrees and academic transcripts. An employer may want certified copies of your vocational documents. A regulatory body may want certified copies of identity and qualification documents before issuing you a license.
Applying for a visa for another country is another common case that requires Certified True copies of documents like your passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate or name change certificate if your name has changed, and if applicable, your military service record.
You may be required to submit Certified True copies of academic records and other qualifications to apply for professional or trade licenses, or post-secondary programs in Canada or abroad. This can include proof of citizenship and residence, transcripts, degrees and diplomas.
When you need a certified copy of your important paperwork, Red Seal Notary is only a click or a phone call away.

Accommodations were spacious and comfortable. However, the big picture window in the setting area needs to be replaced. The needed A/C air blew behind the curtains instead of in the room.
The pricey Gustav restaurant
No cell service in the area and unusable wifi is unacceptable. Buy another router or two, you don't have enough. It was impossible to plan anything and this caused huge hassles on our trip. It's 2016. get some more routers.
Staff was great!
Location near Blue Mountain Village
The "resort" was old and tired
I'm sure it was not the cold Canadian winds or the freezing weather conditions that make us think the crew @ living waters were warm, friendly and inviting. From the front desk, to the concierge, to the staff; all of them displayed 5 star hospitality & quality. Highly recommended.
ongoing construction - but this is to improve the existing amazing facility and features of this place.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.

Z-drugs are a group of nonbenzodiazepine drugs with effects similar to benzodiazepines which are used in the treatment of insomnia.[1] Some Z drugs may have advantages over benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines actually worsen sleep architecture whereas certain Z drugs such as zaleplon have less or no disruption of sleep architecture.[2]

Unfortunately, I agree with the other reviews. I have been in this store several times only to be disappointed every single time. I have finally learned my lesson, I will never go back. I have never been approached by a salesperson to see if help could be provided. If you are fortunate enough to find one, they act annoyed when asked for help. I had not been there in a while so I thought that maybe things had changed. I am currently building a house and my builder suggested that I go to Progressive so I went back yesterday. Again, no one asked if I needed any help. I was finally approached by someone that told me the store was actually closed although there were other shoppers making selections. After stammering from shock, I said "ok, I'll leave". He merely replied, "ok". He never once asked if he could help in any way or to please come back during business hours. I have never experienced such horrible customer service. I can't render an opinion on the quality and value because I never had the opportunity to evaluate them.

We bought all our lighting from Progressive 12 years ago; Good quality and good service. I was warned that it had changed and that you could not get anyone to help. I didn't believe it from times past. Well, it was more than true. I went in and wandered around and was told that it would be a long wait. I then called to see if I could get someone on the phone. The person on the phone 'was too busy at the moment' but would 'get one of the other sales people to call me that afternoon'. It has been 2 weeks and no call. I always check Kudzu first and then Yelp. I should have believed the reviews. Not good at all, Progressive. How can you turn that many customers away? this long time one won't be back.

Contentious sales help (if you're lucky enough to find someone), inflated prices and non-existent follow up after the sale. Product quality and showroom viewing are helpful, but expect to be ignored. Then you might hear the staff complaining at their desks while you wait to be ignored again. Odd place.
Posted: 7/28/2013 • Link to this review
If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I recently visited looking for a replacement foyer chandelier and have never seen such blatant disregard for customers!! I had a question, went to the back of the store to customer service and asked for assistance. An associate rudely told me she was assisiting someone else and that I could go up front and ask the receptionist. The receptionist??!!There were at least 4 other sales people in the back and not one of them said "someone will be with you in a moment" or even acknowleged that I was a customer waiting to be helped. I waited another 5 minutes as sales associates ignored me. Finally, I decided that even if I found something, they didn't deserve the sale, so I left! The only thing I can say about price is that from what I could tell, the previous reviewer was right. For the short time I was there, I saw lots of red "50% off" tags on items, that once reduced, the price would still be high in comparison. Between the poor customer service and inflated prices, I don't see how they stay open. I'll be gladly taking my business elsewhere!

This place operates on a pretend permanent 50% discount. Every lighting fixture is "listed" at a very laughably high price. Then they put an "X" through it and expect us to believe that the "half" price is really a good deal. Only the "half" price is a good twice as much as Home Depot or Lowes (who aren't exactly lighting discounters). They do have a good selection of rather attractive lighting fixtures, but they are mostly the facade-type that are made of very thin and flimsy metals. So you're not really getting what you pay for. When we were remodelling, we went in here to check it out and didn't stay long. Some people were treated to good service, but we had to hunt for help and it took a while to get anybody's attention.
