Stanley Cup....anyone watching??
Comments (36)Lars, I just re-read your post. I really like you & this statement didn't register at first... "...but I imagine that there were a lot of people from out of town there." Were you implying that, as the other team, there were many Bostonians & New Englanders there & that if THEY would have rioted you wouldn't have been surprised? I hope that's not what you meant...'cause while I wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise, New England has lost their reputation as "long-suffering losers" & have some experience nowadays with winning championship games without doing tens of millions of dollars in damage to Boston or somebody's else's town. New England Patriots: 2002, 2004, & 2005 (Super Bowl Champs) Boston Red Sox: 2004 & 2007 (World Series Champs) Boston Celtics: 2008 (NBA title champs) Boston Bruins: 2011 (Stanley Cup) We surely understand how Vancouver feels. The Red Sox, the Bruins and the Patriots delivered many calamities but zero championships for a LONG TIME. But this city has ridden an unprecedented wave of success over the past decade. The Bruins' victory in the Stanley Cup finals on Wednesday night made Boston the first city to win championships in all four major sports within a 10 year span. Like the other trophies, the Stanley Cup will go on "tour" throughout New England so all the loyal fans can touch it & snap a picture. Yesterday, it was pushed through the streets of Boston in a baby carriage so fans could admire. :) It's been a LONG time since Boston's won the Stanley Cup & they were the last of our four teams to get their championship...they knew New England was counting on them to deliver. Fans were too happy to destroy anything. They were too busy kissing people they'd never met before! :) /tricia...See MoreAdvice on damaged NC furniture. Is this normal?
Comments (11)I too had a major problem with Rose Furniture.I had ordered from them once before,an armoir with no problems. I had ordered 2 dressers & 2 desks for my daughters. The trucking company called with their date & delivery fee. Rose Furniture was off by $120.00 (started to feel leary already) The Friday before my Sunday delivery, the trucking co. left a message that 1 of the dressers was too damaged to be delivered. 2 e-mails & 3 frantic calls to Rose Furniture, I was unable to talk to anyone from Rose F. When the truck arrived at my home, I decided to deduct the entire price of the dresser from the bill and told them they had no choice but to take a personal check from me(keep in mind they only take cashiers checks)As I inspected the rest of the furniture, the dresser mirror was cracked, along with the wood molding around it. I was told they would send someone to fix it, ah..no, I deducted the entire price off the bill also and told them to retun it to Rose. I had gotten 2 out of 4 pieces. Monday a.m they called and "reminded" me about our contract, they would fix the furniture & it would be 6-8 wks.I told them keep it, I did not order broken furniture & we'll call it even, I then recieved the NASTIEST e-mail from my salesgirl, & told me I had to pay them 30% restocking fee, I in turn told her to try to get it, Rose does not take credit cards, & they should riemburse me for the delivery fee.This very nice woman from Rose continued to call me for 2 wks, she wanted to know how she could accomadate me, I thanked her for always being very pleasent & helpful, but also suggested they should take at least 200.00 off the bill, I never heard from them again! As it turned out, I ordered the pieces from a family owned buisness, & saved 150.00!!!! I do not reccomend ordering furniture from NC. I have found the prices may be slightly lower, but they get you with tax, gas and delivery fee. It is no longer a bargain! Oh yeah, sorry this was so long...See MoreAmazing the condition my Stanley Furniture Came in
Comments (34)Daisyntn, Oh how I wish I had this information when the Stanley Furniture was still here. I did email Mr. Scheffer the pictures and the link to this site but I got no response. Customer Service at Stanley said once the store gets the furniture they are not involved. But I do want to call Mr. Scheffer when I have some time to remind him what he is doing to his reputation by not caring about what the stores are getting from China that does not seem to be inspected properly. I lost hours and hours an days of work and missed seeing my father before he died due to the furniture fiasco I had to go through due to Stanley Furniture's misrepresentation of the quality of their furniture and the store not inspecting it first before it ever arrived in my home....See MoreDisappointing info re FPE Eco paint after talk w/ Emmett
Comments (26)"Titanium dioxide. Waterbased vs oil based finish. Titanium dioxide is what makes white paint white. You can add titanium dioxide to the base up to a point. After you reach that point, the paint takes on the properties of titanium dioxide and ruins the paint. Almost all factory finishes are now waterborne; cars, furniture, ect...The main difference is the carrier. FPE waterborne paint is made with alkyd urethane base. So are some other brands that are equivalent. Another good base is acrylic urethane or acrylic copolymer. As far as the VOC is concerned, use a fan but waterborne is much lower than oil based." Yikes. Talk about confusing. All alkyds will indeed yellow. The type of oil used in the alkyd (safflower, corn, tung, etc) plays a part along with the type of solvent used. Both the presence ammonia (think bathroom) and/or absence of light will accelerate yellowing while bright light can reverse it (to a certain extent). Most alkyds do indeed dry harder than latexes but then again, they are not as scrubbable. The new water dispersible alkyds like Eco do offer a nice compromise between latex and oil but if yellowing is a concern because you will be painting cabinets white next to another white object (think appliance or tile), then a premium latex would indeed be your best choice. BTW, like most things, there is a rule of diminishing returns with TiO2. Up to a certain level, you do indeed get incremental hide but after a certain level, you are just wasting money. What this means is that FPE doesn't cost twice as much as other because it has twice as much TiO2 as other premium brands (never mind that its volume solids would need to be in the 70% range) - you need to look elsewhere to solve that puzzle. Keep in mind it's only the white/light base that has a high TiO2 load in any paint - TiO2 is pulled out of the other bases in order to hit the deeper colors....See Moresusanlynn2012
