CLEARANCE, NY -- New from Innovative Concepts in Entertainment is Ice Age, a video redemption game based on the animated movie franchise of the same name. The licensed amusement features characters and themes from the movie.
In the game, players use mallets to whack soft rubber acorns, which sends strategically placed ice cracks toward the center of the playfield in an attempt to score points. Encountering a scrolling cartoon character or object will stop the ice crack for a variable number of points; the closer to the playfield center, the higher the points will be.
The acorns are associated with the movie's Scrat, a saber-toothed squirrel who is obsessed with acorns and is constantly putting his life in danger to obtain and defend them.
ICE officials observed that the "Ice Age" film franchise is the highest-grossing animated movie property of all time. The first movie was released in 2002 and was followed by "Ice Age: The Meltdown" (2006) and "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" (2009). The fourth installment, "Ice Age: Continental Drift," is scheduled for release in July 2012.
The arcade game adaptation was developed in conjunction with Play Mechanix, the videogame studio that worked with ICE on Deal or No Deal and other coin-op games.
The game unit is equipped with a 42" LCD that serves as the playfield and 22" high-def LCD marquee. It measures 94" high x 34" deep x 69" wide. In two-player configuration, it offers continuous, independent play on each side of the field.
Clarence, NY-based Innovative Concepts in Entertainment has been developing redemption games for more than a quarter of a century, including favorites like Cyclone, Wheel of Fortune and Deal or No Deal. Ice Age debuted at the recent IAAPA Attractions Expo, along with Deal or No Deal Mega. Also new is Emporium, a 60" double-capacity crane; Lift Mania, a merchandiser in which players control forks to gently lift prizes off shelves; and styling enhancements to ICE's winner-every-time crane lineup.
Separately, ICE is making available high-value wheel variants for Deal or No Deal Mega. ICE vice-president Joe Coppola said that higher-value wheels improve games in the field set at higher costs per play.
"ICE came up with the new wheel values after significant testing, and we've found these new values give the player a much more interesting risk/reward scenario when they reach the final case and have the opportunity to spin the Mega Bonus wheel," he said.

Everybody liked Mo. Throughout his political life and especially during his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1976 thousands of people were drawn to Arizona congressman
A meticulously documented, straightforward history not only of Udall and his 30 years in Congress but also of his family, of Arizona and of the nation in the latter 20th century. It's an essential read for any longtime Arizonan or newcomer who wants to best understand this legendary man, his liberal policies, his leadership both in Arizona and on the national scene and how how Arizona politics have evolved.
Arizona Republic
Political junkies will enjoy this readable biography. . . . Highly recommended.
Library Journal
Morris K. Udall by his humor, humanity, and courage. This biography traces the remarkable career of the candidate who was "too funny to be president" and introduces readers to Mo the politician, Mo the environmentalist, and Mo the man. Journalists Donald Carson and James Johnson interviewed more than one hundred of Udall's associates and family members to create an unusually rich portrait. They recall Udall's Mormon boyhood in Arizona when he lost an eye at age six, his service during World War II, his brief career in professional basketball, and his work as a lawyer and county prosecutor, which earned him a reputation for fairness and openness. Mo provides the most complete record of Udall's thirty-year congressional career ever published. It reveals how he challenged the House seniority system and turned the House Interior Committee into a powerful panel that did as much to protect the environment as any organization in the twentieth century. It shows Udall to have been a consensus builder for environmental issues who paved the way for the Alaska Lands Act of 1980, helped set aside 2.4 million acres of wilderness in Arizona, and fought for the Central Arizona Project, one of the most ambitious water projects in U.S. history. Carson and Johnson record Udall's early opposition to the Vietnam War at a time when that conflict was largely perceived as a just cause, as well as his early advocacy of campaign finance reform. They also provide a behind-the-scenes account of his run for the presidency the first House member to seek the office in nearly a century which gained him an intensely loyal national following. Mo explores the paradoxes that beset Udall: He was a man able to accomplish things politically because people genuinely liked and respected him, yet he was a loner and workaholic whose focus on politics overshadowed his personal life. Carson and Johnson devote a chapter to the famous Udall sense of humor. They also look sensitively at his role as a husband and father and at his proud and stubborn bout with Parkinson's disease. Mo Udall will long be remembered for his contributions to environmental legislation, for his unflagging efforts in behalf of Arizona, and for the gentle humor with which he conducted his life. This book secures his legacy.

"There were so many people involved in the orchestration of this conviction," Sandusky maintained.
The orchestration of 'Idomeneo,' too, is something of the nature of a revelation.
The orchestration is remarkably fine with effect, color, and variety.
In beauty of melody and gracefulness of orchestration this chorus of the fays is specially noticeable.
And his orchestration, with its daubing, its overladen, hysterical color!
I am very well pleased with its contents, but not quite so satisfied with the orchestration.
Oh, that wonderful bit of orchestration where Mimi speaks of fear!
We had a Cuban pianist there who played the orchestration of the first act of Parsifal with surprising agility.
On the question of orchestration we never had a moment's hesitation.
The orchestration is immensely rich and expressive, and is quite independent of the voices.
"to compose or arrange (music) for an orchestra," 1855, back-formation from orchestration. The figurative sense is attested from 1883. Related: Orchestrated; orchestrating.

15 Books to Empower Tween Girls

Even though this book was written in 1924 the daily devotions are still relevant to life today. I have been reading this devotion for years now, and I never tire of it. I am always gleaning something new from his devotions as I strive to be "My Utmost for His Highest."...
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was born July 24, 1874, in Aberdeen, Scotland. He came into a personal relationship with Jesus as his Savior in his teen years under the ministry of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, and studied art and archeology at the University of Edinburgh before answering a call from God to the Christian ministry. He then studied theology at Dunoon College. From 1906-1910 he conducted an itinerant Bible-teaching ministry in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan.
In 1910, Chambers married Gertrude Hobbs. They had one daughter, Kathleen.
In 1911 he founded and became principal of the Bible Training College in Clapham, London, where he lectured until the school was closed in 1915 because of World War I. In October 1915 he sailed for Zeitoun, Egypt (near Cairo), where he ministered to troops from Australia and New Zealand as a YMCA chaplain. He died there November 15, 1917, following surgery for a ruptured appendix.
Although Oswald Chambers wrote only one book, Baffled to Fight Better (since updated and titled Our Ultimate Refuge), more than thirty titles bear his name. Mrs. Chambers, a court stenographer, compiled the rest of her husband's published works from her verbatim shorthand notes. For half a century following her husband's death she labored to give his words to the world.
My Utmost For His Highest, his best-known work, has been continuously in print in the United States since 1935 and remains in the top ten titles of the religious book bestseller list with millions of copies in print. It has become a Christian classic.
The Oswald Chambers material is published and licensed exclusively by Discovery House Publishers through arrangement with the Oswald Chambers Publications Association, Ltd.

Hey @all, check out this great track by QAudioProductions: http://audiojungle.net/item/journey/3853695
Cool stuff!
Very cool! Congratulations
Congrats! Totally well deserved
Yeah! 50 sales in the first 2 months. So happy! Thanks to everyone. There are so many great and talented people here.
Merry Christmas to all of you Danny
The Walking Dead… I notice there are a lot of Walking Dead lovers here…. such a great series with some great music and actors. Game of Thrones is great as well.
Other series I love: The X-Files, Millennium, Dexter, Happily Divorced
Great and very interesting interview, Sam
I have no problem with 7 or even 10 days. I mean, it's an indicator of how careful our music is chosen. The reviewers are doing a great job and I think they listen very carefully to our tracks and check every detail. You can't do that in a minute. A careful check needs time. And the better the music is chosen the better is the database's quality. And the better the quality the better the sales… at least I hope so So, the best is to use the time while the upload is processed to create something new.
wow, you guys have so many great tracks out there.
@:sapphire: I really love your track "Emotions". Cool sound.Ok… one of our own tracks… hard to decide, it always changes. Right now this trailer music is one of my favorites: http://audiojungle.net/item/epic-trailer-music/3357743
Hope you like it, too.
Congratulations Good work
thanks for the info

By Mike Mangan, The (Binghamton, N.Y.) Press & Sun-Bulletin
Greer Wright has opted for the America East instead of the Big East.
Wright, the leading scorer for the Binghamton University men's basketball team last season who was strongly considering transferring to Big East program Cincinnati, confirmed on Wednesday he will return to the Bearcats for his senior season.
The 6-foot-7 forward from Florida averaged 15 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists last season, earning America East first-team honors.
Wright said academics played a significant role in his decision to stay at BU. A Human Development major, Wright said that some of his credits accumulated at BU would not be accepted at Cincinnati.
"At Cincinnati, I wouldn't be able to graduate on time, or I would have had to change my major, which I really didn't want to do," Wright said. "That was one of the main things; my parents wanted to see me graduate.
"Also, I just wanted to come back and be with the guys that I was with last year, Kyrie (Sutton), Chretien (Lukusa), Mahamoud (Jabbi), all those guys were great to play with."
While Wright will remain at BU, two other players from last year's Bearcats squad that finished 13-18 under first-year interim head coach Mark Macon have decided to transfer.
Starting point guard Dylan Talley, an America East All-Rookie team honoree, and reserve forward/center Pina Guillaume have transferred to Blinn College, a junior college located in Brenham, Tex. Their transfers were originally reported on www.foxsports.com and confirmed by Wright.
In May, Kraidon Woods, a power forward who had sat out last season for BU after transferring from Arizona State, transferred to Drake University.
Talley and Guillaume, as well as Macon, were unavailable for comment on Wednesday.
Wright said Macon was supportive as he explored his transfer options, which included Big East programs Connecticut and South Florida.
"Coach Macon ... during the whole process, he told me to take my time and he wished me luck with whatever I did," Wright said. "But I'm back, and it's back to business."

Mike Taylor = People I Wanna Punch 4-16-2014

Yes.....it is Wednesday. But before any punches, something a little different.
Poor fans,students and faculty at the University of Texas. Seems that somebody has helped the landscaping department by adding extra color amidst the bluebonnets.
First they will replace jockies and then ?
Shall we begin "virtual punching" ?
Even if I were a Los Angeles Lakers fan, he is the one reason I would refuse to continue my fandom. Very poor choice by management for the position Okay, there are a huge list of other other reasons why I'm not a fan, but for the sake of this article....work with me.
There are certain individuals who will take advantage of tragedies for the sake of pulling off what they consider a practical joke. All in poor taste and the following is a perfect example of sheer idiocy.
Another really bad 'Sports' movie ? Many think so.

Exclusive: Freshcraft brothers opening Block & Larder on Tennyson
Lori Midson
First thing's first: Despite the enviable success of Freshcraft, one of Denver's best watering holes to study the attributes of craft beer, brothers Aaron, Lucas and Jason Forgy, all of whom own Freshcraft, aren't looking to reinvent the wheel when they open Block & Larder on Tennyson Street later this fall. In fact, according to Jason, Block & Larder won't be anything like Freshcraft.
See also: Lucas Forgy, exec chef of Freshcraft, reveals his favorite beers
"We're still working on the details of the concept, but I can you that this will be a chef-driven, food-focused restaurant -- not a bar -- and a very different concept from Freshcraft, from top to bottom," stresses Jason, who took over 3,000 square feet in the former Yankee Trader building on Tennyson Street, a structure that will house two tenants, the second of which has yet to be disclosed.
The focus, says Jason, "will be on proteins with an emphasis on in-house butchery." Think beef, lamb, boar, fish, pork and other cuts. And while Jason notes that the space will include a "very nice bar," he and his brothers are still contemplating the beverage program. "We're still fine tuning a lot of things, but the goal is to continue to own and operate good restaurants, and because this concept is so different from Freshcraft, we may hire a beverage director, in which case, we'd want to allow that person to build the bar program," explains Jason.
The space, which will accommodate around 100 seats, is owned by Gravitas Development Group, the same company that pioneered the construction of the mixed-use shipping-container project at Broadway and Larimer, and the trio of brothers are hoping to start construction in mid-June. "This area is one of the most up-and-coming neighborhoods in Denver right now, and it was a great opportunity, so we decided to jump on it, and while we're still in the pre-construction and licensing phase of opening the restaurant, we're hopeful that we can start construction next month and open in mid-fall if everything goes according to plan," Jason says, acknowledging, of course, that "everything is dictated by permits and inspections."
The brick structure, which was originally constructed in the 1930s, is a full build-out, and part of the plan to is to restore the exterior, which will include sliding glass panels that fully expose the streetscape. "The building has to be brought up to code," notes Jason, "but when we've finished the construction, the whole front of the restaurant will open to the sidewalk, which will be really cool."
The name, Block & Larder, he notes, is twofold. "Larder was a food storage area in medieval households, similar to a pantry, but different because there was no meat and fish storage, which we'll have, and the block reference is to a butcher's block, and we'll be doing a lot of butchery," he says.
When Block & Larder opens, it'll serve lunch and dinner.

Today, I had drunk sex with a girl that I barely know. I didn't have a condom and was nervous about getting her pregnant, but she assured me that I could pull out. Right when I was about to pull out, she wrapped her legs around me and yelled, "BE MY BABY'S DADDY!" I couldn't get out in time. FML
Just because someone's opinion is different doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong... but usually it is, let's be honest. Take your political and religious views and shove them up your ass. Sorry if it's full from your ego already, time to make room. You can pick on a person for anything except that which they cannot control. That means when you begin to spew retarded bullshit, don't whine when people call you out for it. If you have your head royally shoved up your ass, I hope you get explosive diarrhea. It might teach you a lesson. Or not, knowing you.

Some people may think February is the slowest month of the year to work with your landscape, but really it's not.
February is a good month for doing dormant pruning of deciduous trees and shrubs (with the exception of spring-flowering plants that are pruned after they bloom).

Miss Rose had been older than Moses when I was a little girl and there were times I fully believed she never missed a church service because she was making sure the preacher was getting the story straight - since she had undoubtedly been there when it happened. So when Granny called my cell a few years ago to tell me the news, I was surprised to hear it, but not for the reason Granny thought.
"Are you sitting down, Sug'?" she asked.
During winter months, many homeowners try to overwinter potted plants inside. Others enjoy inside plants year round, but there can be problems.
Low light, low humidity, dry air and too much soil moisture are the primary culprits that can weaken and destroy our indoor plants. Proper management of these growing factors, of course, is essential to your maintaining healthy, vigorous houseplants.
Sometimes gardening terms can become confusing and lead to wrong cultural practices.
For example, the term bulb is used to apply to a number of different plant structures which are planted and propagated on their location and make-up. Above ground bulblike structures are called crowns, and the below-ground ones are bulbs, corms, rhizomes and tubers.

Ah, another "why didn't I think of that?!"
Kevin always has the BEST grilled cheese combos. And if this has veggies in it…then I can so have two. You know. For the nutritious value.
I am so trying this with pickled asparagus!
This looks DELISH. My hubs isn't a fan of grilled cheese, but he LOVES Asparagus so I will def have to try this! Thanks for sharing!
I've never tried that but will now. I have asparagus in the cupboard and always have cheese and bread so there's lunch sorted.
My brain knows immediately when something can be turned into a grilled cheese concoction, and when DH is not around for lunch, that's when you can usually find me happily chowing down a crispy buttery cheesy sandwich. Never tried it with asparagus, but I trust u with all things yummy, so I'm gonna do this!
That a great idea. I will have to check out closet cooking too. Thanks.
This is an amazing (and amazingly simple) idea! Thanks for sharing!
I love this! I used to make a sort of rolled quesadilla with just these fillings, plus ham…or bacon. Grill until melty, and I guess you know it's yummy. 😉 Fresh mango or pineapple salsa and you're in heaven.
I always enjoy seeing your posts. You have the best timing for knowing just what I'm craving. And I just got asparagus from the market, too! Could you maybe adopt me? 😉

Salk Institute board of trustees elects leader in venture capital
Benjamin S. Schapiro, founder, chairman and CEO of QuestMark Partners, a late-stage venture capital fund in Baltimore, Maryland, was named to the Salk board of trustees in November.
Schapiro, who graduated from Randolph-Macon College in 1964 with a degree in economics, began his career in investment banking in 1966 at Robert Garrett & Sons, which merged into Alex Brown and Sons in 1974. During his 32-year tenure, his efforts encompassed institutional, international, and private client accounts, real estate finance, corporate finance, merger and acquisition transactions, as well as public and private investing in emerging growth companies.
Schapiro currently serves as chairman of the board of Lifebridge Health, a regional health care organization based in Baltimore, and on the board of the Deer Valley Music Festival; he has also served as chairman, vice chairman and trustee or board member of a number of endowment funds, charitable organizations and professionally managed portfolios.

Fast-paced, end-to-end and played by some of the biggest sports stars on the planet, basketball is justifiably one of the most watched games in the world.
Invented in 1891 by Jim Naismith, the sport spread from the YMCA to colleges and then, in 1936, to become an Olympic sport. Today the NBA is one of the most popular professional sports leagues in the world and has produced icons like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlain, and Oscar Robinson.
These days it's all about the Miami Heat and their galaxy of stars. LeBron James, globally recognised as the best player of his era, has catapulted interest in the sport still further and has truly taken over from Michael Jordan as the game's biggest name.
Interest in US basketball doesn't stop with the NBA, though – the college game is almost as popular, with massive crowds flocking to see the stars of the future.
A high-octane sport, it's brilliant to have a bet on, its short bursts of play especially enticing for in-play punters. The breaks in the action, so common in US sports, also help in translating your view on the match into an in-play bet. Close games are commonplace and regularly end with a buzzer shot from 3 point territory. What better scenario than this for a cheeky live bet on the team trailing?
Not only that, we've got plenty of pre-match markets like total points scored in the match, double chance and loads of handicap betting.
It may be NBA powerhouses like the Bulls, Lakers, Heat and Celtics that hog the limelight, but basketball is played all over the world – and we've got markets from its every corner. Bet on Partizan Belgrade and Panathinaikos in the Euroleague or Issa Town and Al Ahli in the Bahrain championship – as with pretty much all the sports, if it's played, you'll be able to have a bet on it with 888sport.
And now there's even a chance to see NBA stars closer to home, as London gets set to host more and more one-off games over the coming years.
Opening an account to bet on basketball with 888sport has never been simpler – and it comes with our slam-dunking treble odds on your first bet, too! Why not join on mobile today, where it's as simple as APP, TAP, BET!

Gemma Arterton Takes Gamble on 'Runner Runner' with Timberlake
by Ben Pearson
May 30, 2012
Source: Variety
It's possible that British actress Gemma Arterton has a wealth of talent, but I think it's safe to say we haven't seen it yet. So far, she's best known for looking beautiful in thankless roles in big budget action movies like Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Clash of the Titans, and Quantum of Solace, and she hasn't been given many opportunities to break out from the typical "love interest" parts she's been playing. Add one more to the pile, since Variety reports that she'll be the object of Justin Timberlake's affection in Runner Runner, the upcoming gambling thriller starring Ben Affleck and Anthony Mackie. More below!
The Lincoln Lawyer director Brad Furman is directing Runner Runner, which stars Timberlake as a Princeton student who is cheated out of his tuition playing online poker. He finds out the website he used is hosted from a remote island location and confronts Affleck's character, who runs the whole thing. But Timberlake is soon lured into being Affleck's right-hand man, while an FBI agent (Mackie) tries to use him to bring Affleck down. The script was written by Rounders writers Brian Koppelman and David Levien, so this should be an interesting thematic follow-up to that project considering this is a more modern tale about gambling online. I'm not expecting much from Arterton, but she has a lead role in Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters next year alongside Jeremy Renner, so perhaps that will be a better look at her talent. Thoughts?

Freddy Bell Is Back In Uniform
The Rochester Police Department will announce today that Fred Bell is being appointed the new deputy chief of operations.
It is a risky, outside-the-box move that will do much to determine the course of the department over the first years of the Lovely Warren administration.
Typically, the DCO – as the position is often known – labors in public obscurity, essentially running the department behind the scenes for the far-more-visible chief. It is a position best filled by the most qualified, respected and energetic of commanders.
Bob Duffy – who went on to become chief, mayor and lieutenant governor – spent six years as DCO. The last DCO – Mike Wood – was a wildly talented officer. Unfortunately, he was a victim of the purge that came with the new mayoral administration. His boss – Chief James Sheppard – was pushed out because the new mayor's team feared his popularity and potential electability.
Sheppard's deputy chief of administration – Mike Ciminelli – was a holdover who so impressed the mayor that she made him her chief.
And today he is going to make Fred Bell his DCO.
In terms of emotion, I'm thrilled.
In terms of logic, I'm uncertain.
Because Freddy Bell – as I've always known him – is an old man. He may be 70. He swore on to the Rochester Police Department in 1967. That's 47 years ago. He has been retired for almost a decade and has spent a good chunk of the intervening years literally on the beach on a tropical island.
He's not coming out of retirement, he's coming out of another world.
But he's expected to be sworn in Monday and take hands-on, around-the-clock command of the cops on the street. He's supposed to teach them, mentor them, discipline them, inspire them, command them.
While schmoozing residents and activists across the city, putting forward a charm offensive meant to break down the "police-community divide" that some people can't stop talking about.
It's a mighty tall order.
But if anybody can do it, it's Freddy Bell.
In my early days as a reporter in Rochester, Capt. Freddy Bell was one of the larger-than-life section commanders who seemed to know and be known by everyone. One of the first black officers on the Rochester department, he was also one of the first high-ranking black officers, and that meant a lot to a lot of people.
But Freddy Bell wasn't skin color, he was personality. He had a cool and a charisma, a mixture of flair and gravity, a distinctive smile and a way of winning people over. And people trusted him. Good people, bad people, they knew he was a man of substance. When folks had a problem, they went to Captain Bell. When they needed something done, they went to Captain Bell.
And over and over I heard about people who were getting advice or encouragement or having doors opened for them by Freddy Bell. He seemed like a good guy who was well liked if not downright loved.
But those were different days.
Cops are meeker now, and Freddy Bell had a bit of a strut. He was a man in the way men were defined back then, tough and confident, with a touch of ego. He came up in a department with a different culture, he saw some bad stuff go down. It will be challenging for him to engage and lead officers who were in junior high when he hung up his uniform. He may have to introduce himself to a city that doesn't really remember him. The neighborhood folks who almost adored him have been, at least in part, replaced by people who will not be as embracing. He may be a little uncomfortable with political hangers on who are far from his equal.
Logically, I can think of a variety of reasons why he could be a bad choice for deputy chief of operations.
But emotionally, it's a different thing. I miss the old days and I miss some of the old cops, maybe this one more than most. This guy has a career that commands respect, and maybe he still has the abilities that made that career successful.
If the mayor wants drug dealers off corners, and she wants neighbors to feel comfortable with the police, Freddy Bell might be a perfect fit.
It depends on his stamina. It depends on his ability to rekindle friendships and make new friendships. It depends on his ability to connect with and inspire officers who realistically could be his grandchildren.
The odds are against him.
But I'm betting on this horse.
This is a gutsy assignment that says something about the chief who suggested it, the mayor who approved it, and the old man who accepted it.
I don't know if it will work, but I sure want it to.
Freddy Bell is back in uniform, and that feels good to me.

WESTBURY, NEW YORK -- I recently bought a lot of furnitures at Jennifer Convertibles located in Carle Place, NY and I had terrible experience. It took the company 4 times to deliver my furnitures and even so, there are 2 items that are still missing at this point. When the company calls to schedule the time for the delivery, I asked them to confirm what items being delivered to make sure they have everything, they told me that the "only make the call, they don't know what items are being delivered" so you don't know what you're getting until they actually show up at your house.
First, when we went to the store to schedule the delivery, we scheduled it for Friday 9/23/16. However, the store manager, Cinthia changed it to Sunday, 9/25/16, and didn't bother to call and tell us. The 3rd time they made the delivery, which was supposed to be the last time, we were still missing a bed and a mirror.
When I called the store to ask about it, the store manager, Cinthia, blamed me for not telling her what was missing. I told her that every time they deliver, there was a list of the items so she should know what had been delivered and what was still missing. She was rude and argumentative and at some point during the conversation, she hung up the phone on me. Then she told me when I called back that she didn't know where the missing items were at that point. She said she would find out the next day and get back to me which she never did.
Throughout this conversation, she kept repeating that it was my fault that she didn't know about the missing items. I had to call the store back to talk to someone else who found out that the missing items were transferred to the wrong warehouse. When I called customer service to complain about this store and how the store manager conducted business, I was promised a call from the Regional Manager, "John", to resolve the issue. Well, 4 days later I still have not heard from that manager. Obviously, customer service is not important to him. Most of the company's representatives we talked with were rude.
Throughout my life, I receive excellent customer service and poor customer service and anywhere in between. However, Jennifer Convertibles really broke the records for me in terms of poor customer service. I don't usually rate my experience online. However, I'll make an exception this time and give my rating on this experience. I don't want anyone to experience what I had to go through with Jennifer Convertibles.
WESTBURY, NEW YORK -- Do not buy from this store. I purchased a convertible with an upgrade air mattress. The pump broke even though I hardly used the bed. I replaced it and it broke again after one year. Jennifer only covers it for a year. I was a month off. They would gladly replace it for three times the amount I paid for the pump last year. I called the manufacturer and they offer a three year warranty but Jennifer will not do that. They are totally worthless.
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK -- I have never written a bad review before, but I think customers deserve to know this. Ok here is my nightmare story and biggest disappointment ever: I have ordered a sofa bed from Jennifer Furniture. We negotiated the date of arrival and I had to take a day off at work, as they were not able to specify the exact (or near) hour- just told me between 10am and 3pm. So I waited... and they brought a wrong one. I was really pissed as I needed it. I awaited guests for couple of nights and had no place to put them. So I had to pay a hotel for them! Ok.
You would think they will apologize and be very sorry... You think wrong, no in Jennifer. Such a rude attitude and impolite behavior, I was really amazed! I have never experienced such a bad customer service in my life... Not only I had to wait another week or two for the sofa, I had to take another day off at work... But the best part was just about to come.
The manager promised me the discount for the wrong sofa and late delivery. It was just 100 USD, ok, better than nothing... But guess what? They never send anything and he didn't even answer my emails. Hilarious!!! This is how the manager should behave? For 100 bucks? Are you kidding me? I have the name of the Manhattan Jennifer Furniture manager, if anybody would be interested and will be happy to provide it.
LOS ANGELES -- Issue: Couch is beyond repair and needs to be replaced according to repair technician. A part of the frame on the underside of the frame broke off of the couch on 6/21/07 and was called in to the customer service number for repair. A technician arrived on 7/20/07 to repair the couch which he did he best to repair but could not return the couch to original working order. The frame was put back into place, but the springs under the cushion remained sunken and lower than other sections of the couch.
A second claim was put in for repair, upon which another technician arrived on 8/21/07. This technician, Robert, explained how couches sold by Jennifer Convertibles were of very poor quality and constructed of particle board and shoddy craftsmanship. He tried to repair the couch for the next 2 hours and said that the couch was beyond repair and needed to be replaced. As all repairs are done via contracted repair centers and not directly through Jennifer Convertibles he would need to submit a report which would state the couch could not be repaired.
At this time the couch needs to be replaced in a timely manner as it was not fixed per the original claim which was placed within the warranty period. The couch has not been able to be used for the last 2 months and at this point legal action is an option. The couch has been broken for over 2 months at this point, and the staff in the call center at Jennifer Convertibles is beyond rude when dealing with my issues. In particular **, when asked to speak to his supervisor, will put a woman named ** on the phone who's conversational tactics are to speak over you or to put the phone down and walk away from it.
If you do call, demand to speak to ** and demand that you see action within 1-2 days, not the normal 7-10 business day window that they say is mandatory. ** does have the authority to push repairs through and put a 'rush' on your repair. Remember that when the service technician comes to repair your couch, he is on your side. He has repaired more horribly constructed pieces of furniture from Jennifer Convertibles and knows what you are going through. Make sure that the technician reports the item as unrepairable and then push for Jennifer Convertibles to send you a new item.
Be nice to the service people, they are not Jennifer employees and are your best shot at getting a new chair, couch, parts etc. Use this number to verify when reports are sent to Jennifer Convertibles and to make sure the technician can find your house.
If Jennifer Convertibles owes you parts, or a part has to be ordered for your item, this is where it comes from. Obviously Jennifer Convertibles does not like you knowing where their suppliers are, so if you are waiting for parts call the number above and say you are ** from Jennifer Convertibles and that you are checking on the status of an order for a customer.
(note: I had to do this within the first days of my purchase. My couch did not come with screws for the feet/legs and Jennifer Convertibles told me over and over after many calls that they were on order. When I finally tricked a rep into giving me the number I called the parts contractor myself to only find out the parts were never ordered. I ordered them myself and had them sent directly to my work. My couch was on towels for over 3 months.) Good luck if you already own a Jennifer Convertibles item, and if you do not then STAY AWAY. Spend a few more bucks and go somewhere else. The few hundred you would be saving is not worth your time or energy.
UPLAND, CALIFORNIA -- I purchased a sectional couch and dinette for a very good price about $1100 for all that furniture. The person who sold it to me was the manager. It was purchased on January 21st and I paid a little more than half. I was told that it would take about 6-8 weeks before they would be delivered. I asked if I could just come pick it up since it was $159.99 of delivery fees. The manager said "well you could but you don't want to do that because the dinette has several pieces to put it together and you don't want to go through all that trouble" I agreed and decided to purchase it.
At the 6 week mark March 11 called and spoke with **. She was very nice and informed me that the manager that sold me thre furniture was gone for 10 days. She said Jennifer manager from the Pasadena store was assisting their store in the meantime. ** was the only one who could check the status of my order. I thought no problem I understand ** is a sales associate and that information was only available to management. I waited until Sunday March 3rd and didn't get a call from manager **.
I called the upland store and ** answered I asked her why I didn't get a call she apologized and said she spoke with ** and that it was only 6 weeks and that I still had another 2 weeks and to call back by Wednesday or Thursday. Okay no problem again. I called back Wednesday March 6th and got ** again. She said that she would leave a note for ** whose covering the store and that ** would call me back. I didn't get a call back on Thursday or Friday so I decided to call.
On March 8th I spoke with ** again and she said she would email the manager and get some info I heard her typing while I stayed on the line. She said she sent the email and would call me back when she got a response. So I waited. ** left a voicemail saying this "your furniture was stuck in customs and it will be available to schedule a delivery date after April 5th." I was irritated at this point. I'm in a new apartment with nowhere to sit and eat. I called her back and said that my receipt stated 6-8 weeks and after April 5th is 10 weeks.
She sounded surprised and said "wow really 10 weeks, okay let me see what they can do" so I waited again for a call back. I received a phone call back from Jennifer the manager from the Pasadena store and all she did was repeat the same information ** gave me. She was also very rude saying "I was just about to call you. I'm with customers and don't have much time." I started to thank her for helping me when she rudely cut me off and said she call back with any other information. I didn't get a call back and at this point I don't want the furniture.
I call upland on Saturday and get ** explaining the conversation I had with ** and that she was very rude, ** apologized and I asked her if I could just get a full refund that I am dissatisfied with everything that had happened. She apologizes and said that I could get refund but that the manager would have to do it and said he would be back in on Monday. I called Monday and spoke with the manager and he said that there is no full refund I would have to pay 30% of my purchase. I was very unhappy with this. The manager was not helpful and very rude.
He continued to say that the price I got my furniture for were a great deal and that I just need to wait for my furniture. I asked if I could get compensated for having to wait 2 weeks more than they said. He immediately said no then said well I can talk to corporate but I guarantee they will only credit you $25 bucks. I then asked since I already paid can pick a couch off the showroom floor so I have something tonight and he said no. He directed me to the website for the customer service phone number and said see what corporate can do. I get to the website and there is no direct phone number to corporate.
All there is is an email to address your concern. I emailed and then decided to Google the customer service number and find there are over 100 reviews of customer service horror stories with Jennifer convertibles. I call the number and they direct me to ** ext ** and I have already left 2 voicemails at 2 and 4 and have yet to get a call back. My only options are pay 30% and get no furniture or fight with the voicemail inbox and wait until after April 5th to schedule a delivery date. This is horrible service!!!!
GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA -- My delivery window was between 1 and 5 pm. It was rainy so I can appreciate that they might be running a bit late. I called the store at 4:45 pm on Nov. 20 to make sure they were still coming. ** told me in a very non-caring way not to worry and that they were coming. She did not apologize or anything about the late schedule and the call ended.
At 5:30 pm I was feeling bothered by ** attitude and worried that she just blew me off so I called again. Once again, her attitude was such that I was the problem - must have lots of customers in that showroom on a rainy Sunday evening at 4:45 pm so you can't take a minute to attend to my concerns! And she quickly said that due to the rain they were probably running late. I asked if there was a number to call the delivery folks with and she said there wasn't. She said they use an east coast company that does the scheduling and that they were closed.
Then silence again (I think she took a class where they taught the student to just go silent and not say anything else when confronted by a difficult retail issue)... I commented that her attitude was uncaring and she insisted that she did not have an attitude. She also added that deliveries go until 9 pm. Well, I was not told this when I scheduled my delivery (they had over one week to schedule this delivery for me!). I was told 1 to 5 pm and I had plans for the evening.
Also, I have worked with other vendors and I have always found that they call you on the day of the delivery OR I have even received calls when they were running late. That's just courtesy and customer service, folks! I wish I would have read these reviews before I went there to support a business in my city. Never again. I would rather go to Ikea or Living Spaces (which means driving outside of Glendale). I have heard satisfactory comments from my friends who have shopped at Living Spaces.
The Glendale, Ca Jennifer Convertibles store has uncaring employees and they either have too much business so they think they can blow people off or they are barely hanging on and can't handle what business they do have and use fly by night seedy delivery companies. I paid $100 for delivery (and have read of other reviews where they sock it to you with these delivery charges at Jennifer Convertibles).
And I am still waiting... 6 pm. Let's see if they come at 9 pm tonight. Not a single phone call from them - makes me mad! If I don't get my delivery tonight, I will be posting again. Final word: I would not be feeling this way if the customer service was a bit more attentive. Thanks, **! You are a gem... I know you will go far in the sales and retail world!
WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA -- We were in the market to purchase a new leather couch. We shopped all of the local chain stores for our purchase. When we came to Jennifer Convertibles the salesman informed us that not only did they have the best pricing but the best warranty in the industry. Of course the warranty intrigued me, so I asked for specifics. He proceeded to tell me that it covers all these stains including pet urine and damages that could be caused by the pets.
I asked specifically what that meant. He proceeded to inform me that if a dog or cat was to damage any fabric/leather part of the sectional they would replace it no questions asked. Since we have three dogs, that was very appealing to us. No other competitors offered such a warranty we purchased it right then and there. I was still skeptical so I asked to speak to the store manager. To my surprise he informed me he was the manager. This eased my suspicion.
I was still nervous about the warranty, so when the couch took a ridiculous time for delivery (another issue/lie) we checked out another location for the company. To my pleasant surprise, this sales person also offered the same extended warranty with the pet coverage. This made us feel a little more comfortable about our decision and figured it would be worth the wait.
To make a long story short, after receiving delivery finally of the long awaited couch, we had to make a claim within a couple of weeks. After submitting all the paperwork and pictures we come to find out that they do not cover pet damage. So I went to call the store only to find out that they closed and are closing all the Florida locations. This was never disclosed at the time of purchase either.
I am a very educated consumer, but when two store managers assure me about warranty coverage I let my guard down. I will never do business with this company again, and suggest all consumers to do the same. By the way, the company is currently bankrupt (I wonder why?) and being taken over by a Chinese company. Does this bother anybody else?
My son bought a sofa and loveseat at Jennifer for his first apartment. We were all so excited! We opted to pick it up for him in order to save $150 and to have the furniture sooner. No problem at the warehouse, they were very nice but in a hurry to get rid of it because it was pouring rain. We get it into his apartment and can't wait to set it up.
We open the boxes and are disappointed to see how poorly it is made, everything has to be assembled, even the arms have to be attached to the sofa. We get it all together and realize one arm is broken on the inside, the wood "support" is broken and the arm sags. We call customer service and after an hour get no one due to "a high volume of calls". Big surprise.
Next day I reach a person and they decide to have a technician come and take a look at it. My son takes off from work, waits all day and the tech says it is indeed broken, that it looks like forklift damage and that Jennifer will send a new arm in about 2 weeks (Now we are glad the arms do pull off and on, easy to replace!). We wait and wait and finally get a nasty letter from Jennifer stating that the technician was not authorized to promise a new arm.
He was wrong about the forklift damage, and they would do nothing about the broken arm because we picked it up at the warehouse and signed off on it even though it was fully wrapped and crated and you could not assemble it anywhere there and besides, the rain would have ruined it all. They accused us of dropping it and trying to rip them off. Long story short, they were very rude and did nothing to try to fix it and we paid a furniture repair guy $75.00 to fix it, still cheaper that delivery! It was never comfortable, didn't look the same as the one on the showroom floor and he was thrilled to get rid of it one year later and buy a real sofa. Once they have your money you are TOAST.
QUEENS, NEW YORK -- My wife and I visited the Jennifer Convertibles showroom on Northern Blvd, Queens and purchased a sofa set along with a coffee table and rug during the July 4th weekend. My wife and I were excited in that we moved into a new home and this was the first pieces of furniture to furnish the house. However, when the delivery came within the week, the delivery men only took the loveseat to the living room through the side entrance door and left all the other items in the garage because our front walkway was being concreted.
Then men tell me that they will come the following day to move everything upstairs. I refuse to sign the delivery paper as the delivery is incomplete. According to their policy, the delivery staff is to empty all cartons, wrapping and packaging as well as assemble the coffee table. I expect them to come as promised the following day but they never show up.
I call the sales manager the following day to inquire about the delivery but he tells me someone will come to complete the delivery. When I call him back again, he tells me that the manager of the warehouse has a paperwork with the successful delivery with my signoff! I begin to question the integrity of this company. Who forged my signature? I ask to see the copy of this paperwork and am never shown.
For two weeks, I called the sales manager wanting to get my sofa delivered from the garage to the living room and finally gave up. The sales manager tells me that he couldn't do anything until he saw the delivery paperwork and that he apologized for the inconvenience. I had to move the sofa, coffee table and rug up myself with couple of other people.
I am still in the process of disputing the delivery charges with my credit card merchant. This involves fraud as someone forged my signature. Beware when buying from Jennifer Convertibles. I now realize that if you encounter any problems with this company, they will give you the run around till you finally give up.
PARAMUS, NEW JERSEY -- Oct. 17th, 2013- It's been a nightmare to say the least. I ordered a leather living room set which arrived with a 2 inch rip on love seat and additional leather chair. It took 4-5 weeks to get another delivery replacement. Once again the chair was defective with feet on chair that was not even. Very wobbly. The delivery man told me just put felt pads on them. I told him take it back which he was to happy about since it was 6pm and a 2 flight walk up. I then called the general manager of store who did not return my phone call.
Nightmare #2 - my dinning room chairs are wobbly and my coffee table. My night stand is cracked on one of the legs. The lamp they sold me is ripped. After 3 weeks of waiting they sent a technician who also stated to just put felt pads on the wobbly furniture. I lost my cool on that statement which seems to be their MO and said, "I did not buy furniture with pads. They should all be level to the floor. Get this junk out of here."
He wanted to glue my night stand to repair that. That really blew my cork! To which he called his office and advised them the furniture was factory defective. It has been 2 weeks and NO-ONE has called me to give an update on me getting replacement furniture. I find this company does not CARE once they get your money. The quality is terrible to begin with but I never knew it would be this bad.
I called customer service who advised me that corporate still did not get report from technicians which is outsourced. I STRONGLY suggest that you stay away from this furniture company. It's really depressing to see made in the U.S.A tags on this furniture (if that's even true) on such poor quality merchandise.
