The reasons people hike are varied, but often include fitness, an appreciation for nature, spirituality, or just for recreation. Here are some tips that will help make for a better and safer hike.
Risks - For those new to hiking, it's important to be aware of any risks for a hike being planned. Being aware of these risks should play a part in what is selected for equipment to take on the hike. Some of the most common hazards that hikers encounter, include injuries, illness, inclement weather, forest fires, disorientation, sunburn, dehydration, frostbite or hypothermia. There are risks from nature, as well. A wise hiker will take steps to minimize his or her risks, whether they are the small things like poison ivy and mosquitoes, or potentially more serious things like tick diseases, snakebites, or attacks from wild animals. According to forest service officials and seasoned hikers in this area, such encounters with snakes or aggressive animals are quite rare. But, one should be alert, nevertheless.
Equipment - There is a large variety of equipment that hikers select from in planning outings that will last for at least several hours, or longer. These things would include, but not be limited to: water, backpack or supply pack, compass, good trail map, sunscreen, insect repellent, lip balm, light rain gear, a super lightweight space blanket, extra clothing if it is cold out, a hat, sunglasses, first aid kit, and food. Other kinds of gear that are favorites would include cameras, GPS equipment, a radio for weather updates, and cell phones. Some hikers that go into areas where there are mountain lions, coyotes, or other unfriendly animals, will sometimes carry pepper spray or air horns. Those planning an overnight hike will need to pack in all the overnight gear of their choosing.
Foot Care - Blisters are a common problem for hikers. It's far better to avoid blisters, than to have to deal with them after the fact. Good, sturdy, but comfortable footwear is a must. One must understand that a sweaty foot is more prone to blisters. Hikers approach this in several ways. One method that works well for many is to generously coat the toes, and balls of the feet if necessary, with Vaseline. Others prefer specially designed socks that wick moisture away from the feet. Some like foot powders to keep their feet dry. Some hikers do several changes of socks on long hikes. A serious hiker will find what works best for him or her, and stick with that.
Hiking Ethics - Most hikers are conscientious and considerate. There are some common standards of ethics practiced by good hikers. These things would include: making sure to obtain permission to hike on private property; respecting the solitude and peacefulness of the surroundings by not shouting, or playing music loudly, or setting off fireworks (also a great fire hazard and usually illegal); being courteous to other hikers, including giving uphill hikers the right-of-way on trails; not snapping tree branches back on hikers following; not defacing rocks, trees, signs, etc.; stopping to assist another hiker in need; and being careful to protect the environment. Please be aware of occasional horseback riders on these trails. Horses can sometimes spook easily, so please give right-of-way to horse traffic.
Dogs on the trails, especially loose dogs cause problems every year. Nearly every dog owner assumes their dog would never attack hikers, yet it happens many times on trails around the nation every year. Dog owners who allow this to happen usually can't be reasoned with, so your only defense is carrying pepper spray or some other form of repellent or deterrent to protect yourself or your children.
Fire Dangers - Historically, fire has been the greatest risk hikers and mountain bikers have posed to the environment. Often, there is no really good reason hikers need to make fires, since there is such a wide variety of foods that preserve well and do not need to be cooked before consumption. But, for those who must make a fire, it is important to double all efforts to make sure not even a spark or ember remains of the fire. Smokers need to apply the same effort to make sure everything is totally extinguished. Shooting off fireworks in forest areas is irresponsible and reckless and can lead to very steep fines and even jail time.
Protecting the Environment - Hikers can minimize the impact of hiking to the ecology, by making sure they pack out all trash; not polluting streams, lakes, or springs; staying on trails - especially when the ground is very sensitive after precipitation; not disturbing the wildlife; and following any other special precautions posted by landowners or government agencies.
Finding Your Pace - Those who make hiking a regular event in their lives, soon learn they have a certain pace that they are most comfortable with. Hiking in groups can often be fun. But, if there are many varying paces, the hike can become a logistical nightmare, and even dangerous, if it leads to stragglers getting lost or left behind for some reason. Group hikes should be organized so that all hikers can be accounted for at all times. Having a designated leader and a "whip" at the end of the line usually works well. If this arrangement is not possible, it is better to just hike only with those whose pace is compatible to yours.
Getting Lost - For hikers planning on hiking into remote areas, it is especially important to have one or more partners with you - especially if you are going off-trail. Bringing a first-aid kit and plenty of water is a wise choice. While a cell phone may be of some help, one should not assume it will be a sure solution for getting help if lost or injured. If injured, one is not always conscious to make a call. And, even if an injured hiker is conscious, cell phones are notorious for not working in remote areas, due to interference from steep hillsides or canyon walls. GPS units, normally quite helpful, are also subject to failure, whether it is dead batteries, damage from being dropped or lost along the way. Carrying a small compass is always a good idea. Bringing a good map of the area you are hiking through adds to integrity of your planning.
Off-trail hiking (or "bushwhacking") is not advisable for novice hikers, or those who do not know how to read maps, or anyone with physical limitations or weaknesses. The further from a road or trail, the greater is the chance of getting lost. This can be further compounded by thick forests, nightfall and inclement weather. One of the most important things to do while hiking is to take mental notes of your surroundings, so that you can find your way back if you get off-trail or if your trail just fades out. Remember, while walking back the way you came, the perspective will be different. Some hikers use digital cameras to take a series of photos of landmarks, so they can follow those landmarks back in reverse order. However, dead batteries or a lost camera can ruin even that.
If you must hike solo, it is very important to make a written route plan, including an expected return time. The plan should be left with someone very dependable who will check for a safe return. A hiker may also be able to advise the local sheriff's office of any solo trip plans, along with their expected return time and contact information. If the hiker does not return by the registered time, authorities will know where to search in a timely manner. By doing this, the chances are greatly increased of actually rescuing a missing hiker. If you do find yourself lost, it is usually better to stay where you are at and make a safe and dry shelter that will be visible to rescuers.
Rock Climbing - Much of the butte and canyon rock composition in the Panhandle region is a mixture of sandstone, siltstone, a type of a chalky limestone, and volcanic ash. In some places the composition has been cemented together fairly well by nature. However in most places it is rather soft or crumbly. Also, if using trees for anchors, the root systems are often very horizontal, as evidenced by all those you will see blown over. Technical climbers will find few if any places for reliable anchors. Rock scrambling is generally the best that can be done on Nebraska summits and canyons.

After 12 years of marriage and 3 kids, my husband and I moved to a new house. Some of our furniture was exhausted (that's the stage beyond tired), so we saved up to replace it and give our new home a fresh start.
Off to the stores? I think not. Instead, to furnish our home on the cheap, I discovered that Kijiji, Craigslist and local sites have treasures waiting for a new home, for a fraction of retail prices.
I went online to Urban Barn and Crate & Barrel to get inspiration for a low entertainment cabinet. I found this one for $600. Definitely not in the budget.
Entertainment cabinets I found on Kijiji were tall and bulky, so I searched under "sideboards". And there it was… a sideboard intended for china, that works perfectly for our entertainment gear. The sliding glass door also allows a remote control to operate our system, even when it is closed.
When Kijiji sellers posted this fabulous chair and a half, with matching ottoman, they received non-stop emails. I happened to be one of the first replies and I sent follow up notes to show that I was a serious buyer. It worked!
Be persistent if you see something you really want. We use the ottoman in front of our couch, and the mega chair gives a cozy reading spot in that little nook.
Our fireplace has a quirky corner mantel. One splurge item that I was hoping to add there was a square mirror. I found the perfect mirror on Kijiji, but I couldn't pick it up right away, and then the post was gone.
Six months later I took a long shot and did a very specific search for "square mirror", and there it was again… waiting for me. The seller had just re-posted it and this time I scooped it up right away.
You can also search under a specific retailer (for example: West Elm, EQ3, Pottery Barn), if you are hoping for higher-end item. As well, I recommend searching Craigslist under "Furniture-By Owner" to eliminate the furniture posted by dealers, since dealers will likely be a bit more expensive (or a lot more expensive!).
Ikea's unique furniture names make it easy to search for specific pieces second-hand. Their Hemnes line is my favourite for appearance and quality. These pieces hold their value and sell for at least 50% of the retail price. But if you search diligently for a specific piece, you might do better than that.
I happened upon the Hemnes wardrobe from a motivated seller. It is now a dresser/closet combo for our nursery. We drove a bit further than our local Ikea store, but it came assembled, which is worth a lot!
Make sure to ask the seller specific questions about the condition and dimensions of an item, and also if it is from a smoke-free and/or pet-free home (if that is important to you). You don't want to waste your time going to check out an item, only to realize you forgot to ask an important question and the item isn't what you expected.
Also, consider how the picture appears; a well-presented item is less likely to disappoint. Most importantly, if you are going to negotiate the price, do it through email or phone. As a seller, I expect buyers to pay full price unless we have made another arrangement before pick up.
Before posting this article, I decided to give myself one more challenge to find the perfect accent chair for our bedroom – one at an online retailer and a comparable one second hand. I love the shape and style of this one from Urban Barn (Sale price: $349). Don't love the price, and it is too grey for our space.
Love the shape, dimensions, colour and the price of $80. I asked all the important questions and the presentation convinces me it is from a clean home. Now to go scoop it up!
Overall, I spent about 25% of retail prices to update our home. Each purchase has a story behind it, and a sense of victory that comes from a fabulous find.
It's hard to believe that a few years ago I overheard someone talking about buying skates on Craigslist, and I asked who Craig was. Since then, I have become an avid online shopper – and I've never looked back.
How do you furnish your home on the cheap?
So glad you posted this! Just bought our first home in August and we furnished the ENTIRE house on Kijiji, and I mean EVERYTHING! Bedroom furniture is all Hemnes 😉 I love that line too! I buy or sell something almost daily, it's an awesome way to save money and still get what you want!
By the way, thanks for the couponing tips Mrs. J, I just started and am LOVING it!!!
Thanks Sarah. We should start a Hemnes fan club. Glad to hear you are doing well with couponing – Mrs. January is awesome (note: I am not Mrs. January, or that would sound really arrogant) 🙂 Keep it up!!
Love Kijiji! Took me a while, but I finally found a pair of matching electric recliners for $100 each! They are only 2yrs old, but the seller was moving out of the country & wanted them gone!
Another fave decorating secret in the GTA is Moveline Liquidations! (Hope it's ok to post – http://www.movelineliquidations.com/index.php) They get inventory from hotel renovations – some of it brand new, much gently used. I got a huge gilt mirror for my dining room for $25 & some framed floral paintings for $5 each. If I had room for it, they had a gorgeous red leather love seat the day I was there last for $130. Definitely some cool finds at good prices.
Great example of patience when you have something specific in mind. I haven't heard of that liquidator's before-appreciate the lead.
Hilarious!!! Tell your mom she is a kindred spirit indeed.
I've bought a few nice wood pieces through Craigslist as well as in local thrift stores but there is something about used upholstered furniture that bothers me. You just never know what could be inside that stuffing. I'm glad it works out for others but I will stay away from those items.
YOUR HOME looks lovely and I think you are teaching us all to live within our means and prosper for the future. Good Job!
Thanks. You are so right about the importance of living within our means.
I've found Winners/Homesense can be great for furniture… the key is, you have to go there often and be ready to jump on a great deal because they often only get a single piece, sometimes only to one specific store, but the savings can be huge. I recently found a great deal on a chaise there, and it was 50% lower than retail because of a defect; the defect was a chip on one of the legs. This is a leg that is UNDERNEATH the chaise, so the only way you can see it is if you flip the thing upsidedown!
Nothing like a great deal…bit of a rush if we are honest, right? That sounds like a fabulous find.
Love Kijiji, sometimes distance can be a problem but if you are patient you can furnish your home for much less $ than retail. Just be sure to look everything you buy carefully for any defects as not returnable like a store of course.
That is very good advice about checking for defects Jo. I once bought a Hemnes nightstand sealed in the box and got home to find it was not the colour that the gentleman had advertised. Thankfully I was able to exchange it at the store, but I did learn my lesson!
To me, that seems like a huge price that you paid, but if you're happy with the amount you paid that's what matters.
As for couches and chairs – I would NEVER, and I mean NEVER buy them secondhand. With the infestation of bed bugs hitting Southern Ontario and the fact they can live for up to a year… yeah, never happening!
I completely understand your concern about bed bugs. The chair and ottoman were from a house that looked like a model home in a very ritzy area (not that there couldn't be bed bugs with good taste, but I had a good feeling)…living on the edge!
I know I spent more than some readers might, but this time I wanted to invest in pieces I loved (and not fall into my bad habit of settling for something just because it is on sale). Plus, I budgeted ahead of time for these items.
We've found liquidation stores are very good for buys on new furniture. Bought a tub chair (suede/grey colour) for $25. new because it had a little nick at the back of the chair. Reg. price was $300. @ Leon's & Bad Boys. But because I knew how to repair the nick (fabric glue) & the fact that it would be facing the wall made it a perfect fit. Have also bought at the same store a nice table lamp for $25., wooden end table for $35., wooden dinette table with 4 chairs for $50., dble. mattress & box spring (frame included) for $100., etc. nice just to look around these places.
Great article with fabulous tips. Your home looks lovely…..you did a great job by placing that square mirror on a corner fireplace!
Bed bath & beyond is another fabulous place for the "scratch & dent" section". I found a huge painting in a gorgeous frame which was reg. $169.99 reduced to $24 because a little piece of the frame was missing in the corner.

Q: I was surprised this code compiled (C#). Curious of why? Found this construction while reviewing some code and I was expecting it to not compile at all, tbh. Any reasons why this is permitted?
int i = 0;
switch (i)
{
    case 0:
        int k = 0;
        break;
    case 1:
        k = 1;
        break;
}

Edit: even more strange, adding Console.Out.WriteLine(k); after case 1: gives error use of unassigned variable 'k'...

A:
Any reasons why this is permitted?

We probably cannot say for certain: The essential answer is "because it is" or "because your reasons for thinking it shouldn't be differ with the thinking of those who designed the language" but we can't really speak to questions like "what were Microsoft thinking when they designed it such that...", unless perhaps someone is one of the privileged few to have sat in that design meeting and can be authoritative
SharpLab.io will, however, tell you what happens under the hood; it compiles then decompiles your code and shows you the result, so you can get an idea of what your code was transformed into by the compiler:

 Note: swapped your numbers for other, non-default, ones so that identification of what was what can be maintained after the compiler changes the names
A lot of the code you write is syntactic sugar for something else; here you can see your int k isn't buried within the switch, scoped to only "within the first case", but transformed into something else entirely.. It's thus legal C# because nothing prevents it not being, and you can rationalize that in a way that will help you remember it.. In a similar way, perhaps this looks like it shouldn't work:
    object o = "";

    if(o is string s){

    }

    s = "";

s looks, to me, like it's created within the scope of the if, yet it's accessible outside the if.. You'll find a similar explanatory transformation if you run that through SharpLab..

A child custody dispute between a Tennessee father and a Hungarian mother with U.S. citizenship spotlights the intricacies of international child custody battles. A May trial decides whether the custody case will be heard by a U.S., Hungary or Romania judge. The parents were married in Romania, but the children were born in the United States. The children lived in Hungary from 2004 to 2012. In the summer of 2012, they visited their father, who ended up filing for divorce and keeping the children with him in Tennessee. He sought primary custody of his children in the divorce.
The mother, who went through the U.S. State Department to get her children back in Europe, has argued that her kids were wrongfully retained in Tennessee. She argues that the father is in violation of the Hague Convention treaty. The father has argued that the children speak English and have become acclimated to living in Tennessee. The mother claims to have proof that the children miss their European home. The decision of where the custody battle will take place depends greatly on whether the mother gave consent for the father to enroll the children in school in Tennessee.
International child custody cases are often complicated and emotional and decided upon different factors. Parents don't gain any distinct advantage in courts by moving their children to other countries before starting custody battles. The Hague Convention treaty was designed to keep parents from taking children away from their "habitual residence" countries. Under the treaty, children that have been relocated by parents are considered to be wrongly removed from their home environments. The treaty takes into consideration whether children have become accustomed to their new environment and whether they are better off with the parents who took them to other countries.
International cases involving children who have lived in European countries generally go before federal judges. Lawyers often have to educate judges about the specifics of the Hague Convention treaty or focus on certain areas of the treaty that apply most to their cases. A parent living in the United States would need to have a strong case for how his children have acclimated to the lifestyle of the United States and for why he is a better parent to have primary custody. Sometimes parents have to go through multiple court battles before getting a decision on child custody.


If there are two things women care about most, their hair and giving back to the community must be in the running. This in mind, salons across the country are pairing up with non-profits the world over and offering cuts and coloring services that donate to their organization of choice.
It is no wonder, then, that Trashy Roots Salon & Spa has paired up with Children At Heart Ministries of The Texas Baptist Children's Home for a day of luxury and giving back.
Their annual Cut-A-Thon invites walk-ins to $15 cuts and $10 waxing, allowing all proceeds to go to The Texas Baptist Children's Home.
Children At Heart Ministries, through The Texas Baptist Children's Home, is a Christian organization dedicated to serving children in the community and building better family relationships. The organization strives to break the cycle of child abuse and family crisis through ministry and support.
For all of those curlies here in Austin, TX, Trashy Roots Salon & Spa owner Anna Craig is a DevaCurl certified Stylist and the 2011 regional winner of the Salute to Stylists Contest hosted by NaturallyCurly.com, Inc.
Craig specializes in precision and curly girl haircuts. She also has numerous interviews and videos on both NaturallyCurly.com and CurlStylist.
In addition, the salon employs two other DevaCurl certified stylists, one of whom speaks Spanish, and an extensionist.
So, if you are looking for a great curly cut, good conversation or some longer locks that are good for you and the community (talk about multitasking!), head over to Trashy Roots Salon & Spa, Sunday, July 31.
Keep in mind that salon will only be taking walk-ins and only accepting cash.
For all of those curlies who do not live in Austin, but who would still like to donate to the cause, you can head over to the Children At Heart Ministries site and make a quick donation online. Also, keep a lookout for local salon philanthropy activities in your hometown. Your salon may just be featured next!

Risky Business: Whether an Increased Risk of Harm Supports Legal Standing in Data Breach Class Actions Continues to Divide Federal Courts of Appeals
Tagged with Article III, Attias v. Carefirst, Beck v. McDonald, Clapper, data security, data-breach, Future Harm, Future Injury, Galaria v. Nationwide, Hackers, increased risk, risk of identity fraud, risk of identity theft, Spokeo, standing, SuperValu, Whalen v. Michaels Stores, Zappors
By: Andrew C. Glass, David D. Christensen, and Matthew N. Lowe
Every data breach class action in federal court must confront a threshold question: has the plaintiff alleged a sufficient "injury in fact" to establish Article III standing? The inquiry frequently focuses on whether a plaintiff has standing simply by pleading an increased risk of future injury from the theft of personal identifying information (PII). This is because many named plaintiffs do not––because they cannot––allege any present harm. The federal courts of appeals continue to weigh in on the issue of whether allegations of possible future harm suffice for Article III purposes. But far from providing clarity or consensus, recent appellate decisions have reached differing conclusions, which appear highly dependent on the nature of the facts alleged in each case.[1]

Home / Louise Bourgeois Artwork
This page displays some of the Louise Bourgeois pieces that we've handled over the many years that we've been in business. If you're interested in acquiring or selling a piece similar to one of these, please don't hesitate to let us know.
Famous for her large-scale sculptural and installation works, Louise Bourgeois has led a long and prolific life. She was also a talented painter and a printmaker.
Bourgeois began practicing art in Paris, where she was put in connection with the Surrealists in her early career because of the associative, fantastical features in her art. In her long career, she explored various subjects, domestic and universal, always juxtaposing female and male forms. Her dialectic art is often described as feminist, although the artist never used the term in that way herself.
After she moved to New York in 1938, Bourgeois turned to sculpture. Organic, tactile, evocative forms she created come from her contemplation of the body and its physical presence. Early on, she was using unorthodox materials, such as latex or cloth.
Bourgeois exhibited her work with prominent Abstract Expressionists such as Mark Rothko or Jackson Pollock, and in 1982 she became the first woman to present a solo retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
In 1993, Louise Bourgeois was selected to represent the United States at the Venice Biennale. Her work has been shown in virtually every major museum in the world, included in momentous group international exhibitions and she had several significant retrospectives during her lifetime at the Tate Modern and Centre George Pompidou, among other venues.
Compelled to create, Louise Bourgeois saw art as an act of perpetual liberation and a guarantee of sanity. Her influence is yet to be scaled, while she remains one of the most significant artists who created in the 20th and 21st centuries.
Born in Paris, France in 1911, Louise Bourgeois died in New York in 2010, at the age of 98.

This training approaches sexual harassment through the perspective of the victims, highlighting the negative impact on employee morale and empowering employees to speak against it. There's more to the cost of sexual harassment than the monetary penalties.
A recent class action suit settlement of $10 million between the EEOC and a major U.S. corporation is painful evidence that sexual harassment still plagues our workplaces.
The cost of sexual harassment extends beyond the monetary and takes a significant toll on employee morale and retention. Sexual Harassment: New Perspectives DVD drives home key training points by focusing on the perspective of the victim.
I liked watching the manager find his way after receiving sound advice about trust from a colleague. The employee reactions were believable but the production, at times, had the unrealistic feel of a daytime drama.
Easy to remember learning points.

Savers and pension administrators warned against scams
The pensions regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority and the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) have warned pension scheme administrators and savers of a potential heightened risk of scammers.
The three organizations are all members of the Pension Scams Action Group, a multi-agency task force dedicated to protecting savers from scams.
Although the three organizations have yet to see evidence of an increase in pension scams, they said they want to act preemptively given concerns about the cost of living crisis and rising unemployment rates. interest.
They believe that scammers will seek to take advantage of economic uncertainty.
Nicola Parish, executive director of frontline regulation and spokesperson for TPR's pension scams action group, said: "Scammers are exploiting uncertainty. And savers' worries about their finances can make them more vulnerable to common fraudster tactics.
"Scammers can pose as people or organizations that savers trust.
"They may contact savers out of the blue to make promises that seem too good to be true – because they are."
Regulators have also raised concerns about the impact of recent economic turmoil, such as extreme movements in gilt yields.
They warned it could lead savers to mistakenly decide there is a risk to their pension pots and make hasty decisions about their finances.
AJ Bell, head of retirement policy, Tom Selby, said: "All of this uncertainty will inevitably have made people more vulnerable to scams and more at risk of making bad retirement decisions, like withdrawing their entire pension in one go. once and potentially pay thousands of pounds. in unnecessary income tax as a result.
"The reality was that the post-mini-budget problems we witnessed, and the subsequent intervention by the Bank of England, were intended to prevent a 'death spiral' in UK government bond sales, rather than there being a direct or immediate threat to people's pensions.
"The hedging instruments at the heart of the crisis were held by defined benefit (DB) plans, which means that the majority of defined contribution (DC) plans were not directly affected.
"Even in the case of defined benefit schemes with LDI exposure, provided the employer was not at risk of bankruptcy, their pensions should have been secured.
"It is vital, as the dust settles on the ILD crisis, that all parties involved in communicating the issue reflect on the unnecessary distress caused to people who thought their hard-earned pensions might not be secure."
Charlotte Jackson, head of counseling services and client protection strategy at MaPS, called on savers to seek free advice from MoneyHelper's retirement specialists before making important decisions.
Common signs of a retirement scam include:
to be contacted out of the blue
expressions such as "pension release", "loan", "loophole", "savings advance", "one-time investment", "cashback"
guarantee of better returns
help release money from a pension before the age of 55, not to mention the HMRC tax bill that may arise
high pressure sales tactics – limited time offers to get the best deal; use couriers to send documents, which wait for them to be signed
unusual high-risk investments, which tend to be offshore, unregulated, with no consumer protections
complicated investment structures
fixed-term retirement investments – which often means people transferring don't realize something is wrong for several years
The Pension Scams Action Group has also called on savers to beware of recovery room or secondary bedroom systems.
This happens when scammers approach people who have already been scammed and offer to help them get their money back for a fee.
Parish added: "Anyone who receives an unexpected call about their pension – even if the call appears to be from a reputable organization – should hang up.
"Reputable callers are unlikely to call out of the blue and they won't ask for money up front to pay for their services."
Pension plan trustees have also been urged to remain alert to the risks of scams and suspicious transfer requests.
Trustees are urged to follow best practices to protect savers from scams, including warning savers of the increased risk of pension and investment scams in times of uncertainty and providing some of the common signs of a scam.

Cheyenne Regional Medical Center / News / Media / Breastfeeding Pod Installed at Cheyenne Regional Medical Center
Breastfeeding Pod Installed at Cheyenne Regional Medical Center
Freestanding Suite Provides Clean, Quiet Space for Breastfeeding Moms and Babies
Cheyenne, WY—Cheyenne Regional Medical Center has installed a Mamava breastfeeding pod to offer visiting moms a secure, clean space to nurse their babies or pump breast milk in private. The pod is located on the west end of the hospital's first-floor, between the emergency department and admissions/medical imaging waiting area.
CRMC is the first facility in Wyoming to install a Mamava pod.
"CRMC encourages mothers to breastfeed due to the many health benefits it offers for babies and moms," said Lori Boussuge, a CRMC lactation consultant. "So it makes sense that we would want to provide moms visiting our facility with an easily accessible, quiet and clean space where they can nurse or pump."
The freestanding pod has two benches, a shelf, mirror, coat hook, fan, occupancy-activated lighting, a dual outlet and USB port. It can be locked from the inside and can only be accessed by downloading and using the Mamava app. Instructions for using the app are printed on the outside of the pod. A mother, baby, another adult and two or three young children can occupy the pod at one time.
"Mamava pods have gained popularity across the United States, and especially in busy places like airports and hospitals, because they offer moms a quiet and private place to nurse and pump," Boussuge said.
Another benefit is that a mom can bring her other children into the pod with her.
There are more than 750 Mamava pods installed throughout the United States and Canada.
Currently breastfeeding moms not employed by CRMC can nurse or pump in private in one of the hospital's public restrooms. Employees have access to four lactation rooms, located in different areas of the hospital's East and West campuses. The lactation rooms are not easily accessible to the public.
"Women are also welcome to nurse in public areas of the hospital," Boussuge said, "but not everyone feels comfortable doing that. And some babies have an easier time nursing in a quiet, distraction-free place. The pod will offer a private, easy-to-access space for those who prefer that option."
Boussuge made the point that the pod is to be used exclusively for nursing or pumping.
"We want to be sure the pod is kept clean and fresh-smelling, somewhere that is conducive to feeding a baby or expressing breast milk," Boussuge said. "It's harder to do that if the pod is also being used for changing diapers."
A diaper-changing station is available in the hospital lobby's public restroom, which is nearby.
CRMC's Mamava pod was funded by a $16,500 grant from the Cheyenne Regional Foundation.
"We want to thank the Foundation for funding the pod and especially for seeing the value of having a space like this for our breastfeeding mothers and babies," Boussuge said.

The race to publish books milking Apple co-founder Steve Jobs's leadership traits and offering them as lessons for managers has not ended even a year after his death. The author of this book, Jay Elliot, a former Senior Vice President of Apple, is fully aware of the overkill. He himself has already done a book on his former boss called The Steve Jobs Way.
He thus takes pains at the outset to explain the need for this one.
"Isaacson's Steve is not the Steve I knew," he says in his preface, referring to the bestselling Steve Jobs: A Biography by Walter Isaacson. He adds that the book was "unfairly negative and critical of him (Jobs)".
Jobs believed the best hiring results came when one was picky, choosing employees as carefully as one would a girlfriend or boyfriend, a husband or a wife.
One settles down, hoping for a gripping inside account of how Jobs ran Apple and made it the most valuable company in the world. But what one gets is more of Jobs's approach to human resources, and less of other aspects of management. Not surprising, considering Elliot's primary responsibility was HR. Still, the book has many interesting snapshots.
It reveals a lot, for instance, about Jobs's passion for selecting the right people. Best hiring results, according to Jobs, come when one is picky, choosing employees as carefully as one does a girlfriend or a boyfriend, a husband or a wife. You need to light each others' fires. Jobs, Elliot tells us, participated in hiring more than 5,000 people.
And how did Jobs interview candidates? He was never interested in resumes. He never trusted professional recruiters. Instead he looked at the kind of talent the person being interviewed could bring to the company. His interviews were more of conversations. The value he attached to people is best summed by a quote Elliot reproduces: "When you're in a start-up stage, the first 10 people (you hire) will determine whether the company succeeds or not."
To foster innovation, Jobs preferred a pirate-like organisation to a bureaucratic one. This, says Elliot, was critical to Macintosh's initial success in the 1980s. We also learn how good Jobs was at saying no. Even when it had become a $30-billion organisation Apple had just 30 products. Jobs agreed to develop those 30 after saying no to hundreds of others.
We also get insider knowledge on Jobs's use of language. In his vocabulary, "bozo" was a person who was not doing things as fast as he wanted. "That's s---" meant he was not happy with the user interface of a product the engineer had shown him. The comment every employee of Apple loved to hear was "insanely great". It was his highest praise.
The book does not follow chronology. So reading from cover to cover may not be a good idea. There are repetitions galore. It is better to read the chapters in a random manner.

The peter pepper is an heirloom chili pepper that is best known for its unusual shape. It is a type of Capsicum annuum, though it is not officially recognized as a cultivar of the species. The fruits tend to be very hot. It is so hot that it is as hot as a serrano pepper.


It is five years today since Nigeria slipped into infamy: five years since the remote town of Chibok in Borno State powered tragically into the global spotlight. It was the day Nigeria's former president, the military, and the police watched helplessly as Boko Haram terrorists drove away with 276 schoolgirls they had just captured as they prepared to set an external examination. As the world marks the fifth anniversary of that dark episode, President Muhammadu Buhari and his security chiefs should get the message loud and clear: bring back the remaining 112 young ladies.
When he assumed office, Buhari was able to liberate the territory occupied by Boko Haram and flush them out of their Sambisa Forest stronghold, where the bulk of the captives were reportedly being held. Seriousness in having the girls back had yielded a breakthrough: First, in 2016 when 21 of the girls were returned after negotiations brokered by the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Swiss government. Later in 2017, another batch of 82 of the girls was released in exchange for some Boko Haram commanders earlier captured by the Nigerian security forces. Full details of the swap remain under wraps.
It is clear however that apart from another four of the girls that escaped individually, 112 of the girls are still in captivity. They must be found. One of the returned girls said in 2016, "When you are with them, there is a constant fear that they can kill you. Or maybe the bombs or stray bullets from the soldiers can also kill you. It was just terrible." Five years of this nightmare is much too long already, the hellish experience must be brought to a close. We hold Buhari to his word that he will not consider the insurgency defeated until all the girls are freed.
All Nigerians share in the collective guilt. The episode will remain the darkest chapter of the Jonathan administration; together with the security chiefs that served under him. They betrayed the confidence reposed in them and let the girls, the community and the country down; it took 18 full days after the abduction for Jonathan to acknowledge the disaster.
Apart from the intrepid amazons that demonstrate often, joined by some civil society groups and individuals, most Nigerians have opted for arms-length sympathy. The #BringBackOurGirls group led by Oby Ezekwesili and Maryam Uwais could hardly muster enough people to help shut down Abuja in their peaceful marches to remind the government consistently and the world of the girls' anguish. Whereas the rest of the world views the plight of such innocents as a collective responsibility, many Nigerians maintain an aloofness that is at odds with our culture, shared values and the surfeit of religious fervor that pervades the country.
The military's failure to press their advantage and destroy Boko Haram has enabled it to regroup and resume the kidnapping of girls, children, and women. In February 2018, it kidnapped another 110 girls, this time in Dapchi, Yobe State, but released all but one five weeks later, due to the quick reaction by the Buhari government. The only victim held, then 17-year-old Leah Sharibu, has become another iconic symbol of resilience and personal integrity: she remains in captivity as punishment for refusing to renounce her Christian faith.
The United Nations estimated that over 1,000 children were kidnapped by the group between 2013 and April 2018. An equal number of women and girls have been captured and used as "wives," cooks and domestic servants. According to the Combating Terrorism Center at the United States Military Academy, West Point, Boko Haram has used more female suicide bombers than any other terrorist group in history. Some 244 of the 434 bombers the group deployed between April 2011 and June 2017 were female, mostly adolescent girls, compared with Sri Lanka's defunct Tamil Tigers, the previous record holders that used 44 female bombers in a decade.
All options should be on the table: ransom, rescue, if militarily feasible, and continued military degradation of Boko Haram with its ability to hold territory, hide or hold hostages. For countries conscious of their responsibility, the life of even one citizen is never trifled with. They never close the files until nationals held hostage, missing or even deceased are brought home. Thirty-seven years after he went missing in battle with Syrian forces, Israel recovered the remains of Sgt. Zachary Baumel from Lebanon and gave him a befitting burial. Israel's release of 1,027 Palestinian militants in exchange for a single soldier in 2011 typifies how far a country can go to protect its own. Though it has a long-running official policy of not paying the ransom, the United States finds legal ways around this, exchanging five Taliban fighters in exchange for Army Sgt. Bowe Berghdal (a deserter), in 2014; more frequently, its commandos mount rescue operations, deploying the full range of its military, technological, intelligence and diplomatic power. The United Kingdom government does not pay ransom for hostages but allows individuals and companies to do so.
We encourage the Nigerian government to continue to work through third parties and diplomatic "back channels" to recover the girls. France, Spain, and Germany pay ransom to secure the release of their nationals. Islamist terrorists, says a BBC report, have earned $125 million as ransom from diverse governments between 2008 and 2015. Ultimately, however, the solution to the terrorist rampage is to destroy Boko Haram by the improved military, intelligence and local policing.

Is Foundation Waterproofing Really Necessary?
While you don't entirely have a choice when it comes matters of efficiency and safety, the majority of what you will do in your home is by choice. So when it comes to waterproofing the foundation, you may find asking yourself if it is really necessary. Well, think carefully. If you are willing to risk potential mold growth, water seepage and basement flooding, then you don't have to waterproof your foundation. Otherwise, it is a necessity. A home is a long term investment whose value can be increased by making simple improvements like waterproofing.
In addition to increased value, waterproofing the foundation of your home also guarantees the safety of your family, furniture and any belongings stored in the basement. There are many benefits that accrue as a result of waterproofing your foundation, but the most important one is that it helps keep your home dry and clean.
Waterproofing your foundation keeps your basement and by so doing, it indirectly gives you additional space to store your belongings or hang out with family. The basement covers an area equivalent to an entire floor and if not used, the area is a waste of space. Knowing that it will stay dry, you can take advantage and turn the space into a living space, an extra bedroom, a game room or an office. Additionally, extra functional room increases the value of your home.
It is the most obvious benefit of waterproofing your foundation. A dry basement is especially important to those living in areas that are prone to heavy snow or heavy rains and storms. Excess water weakens the foundation with time, thus compromising the structural integrity of your home. Repairing the damage caused to your home will cost more money and time than it would cost to waterproof the foundation. A dry basement will protect your belongings from water damage. A waterproof foundation will keep your home, resilient to mold attacks, floods and leaks.
Waterproofing in Toronto will keep your home free of moisture. Stale air and increased humidity accelerate the growth of mold and mildew. Both of the above pose health risks, including allergies. Taking precautions to ensure that your home is not prone to mold and mildew will guarantee safety from issues that arise as a result of their growth.
Imagine the day when you bought your house. It was an exciting day and you probably promised yourself to keep it safe. You also vowed that if circumstances allowed, you would enhance it to make it more beautiful and increase its value. One of the simplest ways to achieve that is to ensure that your foundation is waterproof.
Believe it or not, a waterproof foundation can save you a lot of money in energy bills. Wet basements make a house feel cold, a situation that can be worse during winters. By waterproofing your foundation and keeping your house dry, you take the pressure off your HVAC during the cold and hot season thus reducing energy bills.
While foundation waterproofing is not entirely necessary, it's a recommended investment that's required to maintain the resiliency of a home. After all, you would want to keep your home dry and safe, wouldn't you?


The largest Residence Inn in Marriott's portfolio, LaSalle was a redevelopment of a historic office building to a 325,000 S.F. 35-story, 382-key hotel in the Financial District of downtown Chicago, IL. Working closely with the architect, VOA Associates, Inc., MillRock efforts assured that the kitchens and vanities fit the site conditions while retaining Marriott's requirements for customer amenity. The challenge and limitations of the downtown location required that the 16 truckloads of cabinets be delivered with precision orchestration. Every one of the truck deliveries had to hit a 2-hour window prearranged at the "hoist" in order to suit the project requirements. The project was quite successful and thrives as a historic reminder to Chicago.

Introduction to Seiko Watches
Wristwatches have been known to stand for style, elegance, class, maturity, and confidence ever since the nineteenth century. No matter the profession or gender, people have been dousing themselves and showcasing their love for fashion and style by carrying an elegantly designed timepiece on their wrists, and a new Seiko watch is the perfect piece to make a statement.
Wristwatches first came into fashion when the battle-worn soldiers came back from the First World War wearing pocket watches in a self-made cocoon on their arms. The fashion quickly spread, and people started to try and turn the odd design into a fashion statement. Eventually, the idea of wearing a watch on one's wrist was born.
People can have the most expensive of smartphones, but it is a particular kind of wristwatch that does the talking for its wearer. New Seiko watch designs are constantly being created in order to support this practice.
Long ago, in the late nineteenth century, there was a young man with a dream. Kintaro Hattori, opened a workshop to repair and design watches and clocks in Tokyo. His hard work, dedication, and love for innovation are still running through the Seiko watch company which is always looking for new, creative ways to build a fashion statement which Hattori was famous for.
Seiko is a Japanese word which literally means 'success.' Hattori was not overconfident when he named his company such. Even a hundred and thirty-seven years later, the company still holds reverence and respect among the watch suppliers. Seiko watches have been known to set the standard for fashion and style. Originally a watch repair shop, Seiko has since then worked hard and through its innovation has reached the top of the line when it comes to timepieces.
Hattori is known for a lot of 'world's first.' Under his banner, the company introduced the world's first pocket watch, the world's first quartz watch, six-digit LCD quartz watch, multi-function digital watch, diver's watch with a titanium case, TV watch, voice recording watch, and so on and so forth. New Seiko watches continue to follow tradition and take the world by storm.
Seiko 5 [Seiko Automatic 7S26]
Available in seven different case coverings, Seiko 5 is 43.4 mm in size and is a hardlex glass/crystal type. Its other features entail 21 jewels.
Available in men and women, Seiko's Presage is a combination of Japanese aesthetic and Seiko's innovative watch ideas with the more traditional craftsmanship. This particular piece is an original design of Seiko. It gives the owner the best of both worlds, the taste of traditional craft and the essence of the modern times.
Seiko has introduced a lot of firsts, and not only in Japan but worldwide as well. Seiko launched its first Seiko diver's watch in 1965, establishing a new ground or pinnacle for the rest of the world to follow; and it has not stopped ever since. It all started with a letter from a frustrated diver complaining that his watch stopped when he crossed a certain water level during his dives. Thus, began the journey of years of research and hard work which led to the invention of the first diver's watch.
The Seiko Prospex is the ultimate package deal for adventure seekers. Be it divers or mountain fanatics, Seiko will not give up on you, be it underwater, sky or on land – Seiko is the timepiece to choose.
Seiko has constantly been striving to be better and better with age and time. Available for, both, men and women.
Astron GPS Solar - Seiko Solar Watch
Available for men only, at this time, Astron GPS Solar is the world's first GPS solar watch. Just connect with a GPS network and align it with your time zone. Running on pure light energy, the device will never run out of battery or need a recharge.
The Astron brand also has a chronograph setting installed, which offers an extremely simple to use a six-hour long chronograph. A chronograph is a device which is used to measure time in its minute seconds, ex: a stopwatch.
Mens and Women's Seiko Watches for Sale
A watch is unisexual; adorned by men and women alike. The charisma that the watch exerts speaks for itself. Seiko watches cater to the needs of both men and women. While the watches for men exert more masculinity, roughness, and have a bit of an edge to the design; the ones for women are sleek, feminine, and make the owner a bit soft at the knees.
Seiko watches have an enormous collection which the buyers can browse through and select the design that suits their personality best.
Where to Buy Seiko Watches?
Seiko is an international brand. Its branches are dispersed throughout the world and are easily accessible. ShopWatches.ca is a trusted retailer of fine, authentic luxury watches online with unbeatable prices and selection.
Eric Adams
One of Seiko's mission is to create precise and beautiful watches. And that's exactly what they have done. They first released the world's first quartz watch in 1969 with the Seiko Quartz Astron. Fast forward to 2012 and the company puts out another world's first - the first GPS solar watch which was the Seiko Astron. Other popular collections are their Prospex Diver, Presage and Brightz.

Life timeline of J W 'Tex' England
J W 'Tex' England was born on 12 Jul 1896
J W 'Tex' England was 7 years old when The Wright brothers make their first attempt to fly with the Wright Flyer at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, were two American aviators, engineers, inventors, and aviation pioneers who are generally credited with inventing, building, and flying the world's first successful airplane. They made the first controlled, sustained flight of a powered, heavier-than-air aircraft on December 17, 1903, four miles south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. In 1904–05 the brothers developed their flying machine into the first practical fixed-wing aircraft. Although not the first to build experimental aircraft, the Wright brothers were the first to invent aircraft controls that made fixed-wing powered flight possible.
J W 'Tex' England was 18 years old when Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, were assassinated by a Yugoslav nationalist named Gavrilo Princip in Sarajevo, sparking the outbreak of World War I. Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria-Este was a member of the imperial Habsburg dynasty, and from 1896 until his death the heir presumptive (Thronfolger) to the Austro-Hungarian throne. His assassination in Sarajevo precipitated Austria-Hungary's declaration of war against Serbia, which in turn triggered a series of events that resulted in Austria-Hungary's allies and Serbia's declaring war on each other, starting World War I.
J W 'Tex' England was 24 years old when The Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified, guaranteeing women's suffrage in America.

It was adopted on August 18, 1920.
J W 'Tex' England was 43 years old when World War II: Nazi Germany and Slovakia invade Poland, beginning the European phase of World War II. World War II, also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, although conflicts reflecting the ideological clash between what would become the Allied and Axis blocs began earlier. The vast majority of the world's countries—including all of the great powers—eventually formed two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most global war in history; it directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In a state of total war, the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. World War II was the deadliest conflict in human history, marked by 50 to 85 million fatalities, most of whom were civilians in the Soviet Union and China. It included massacres, the genocide of the Holocaust, strategic bombing, premeditated death from starvation and disease and the only use of nuclear weapons in war.

Nagasaki is the capital and the largest city of Nagasaki Prefecture on the island of Kyushu in Japan. The city's name, 長崎, means "long cape" in Japanese. Nagasaki became a centre of colonial Portuguese and Dutch influence in the 16th through 19th centuries, and the Hidden Christian Sites in the Nagasaki Region have been recognized and included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Part of Nagasaki was home to a major Imperial Japanese Navy base during the First Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War.
J W 'Tex' England was 57 years old when Jonas Salk announced the successful test of his polio vaccine on a small group of adults and children (vaccination pictured). Jonas Edward Salk was an American medical researcher and virologist. He discovered and developed one of the first successful polio vaccines. Born in New York City, he attended New York University School of Medicine, later choosing to do medical research instead of becoming a practicing physician.

Two years later he was granted a fellowship at the University of Michigan, where he would study flu viruses with his mentor Thomas Francis, Jr.

See what our customers are saying about our people, our products and our service!
For many years now, my husband and I have turned to Mariann Watling at Pucher's Westlake for our window treatments and paint needs. Mariann's wealth of knowledge and experience have always led her to make recommendations that we were pleased to follow. Her most recent recommendations involved picking the paint palette for our entire first floor as well as the exterior of the house. The results are remarkable! Even though I doubted a little bit her choices at first, I have to admit that she knew exactly what she was doing. She gave our home an upscale look both inside and outside. Her recommendations for window treatments were also very useful and once again we listened to her. The overall final look is one we will enjoy for many years to come.
My overall experience with Pucher's was excellent. The staff's professionalism, courtesy, knowledge and speedy service and clean up is highly recommended. Pucher's more than met my expectations and I am completely satisfied. The installers did a wonderful job and met the time frame I needed from them. They did not leave a speck of dust for me to clean up!
Bill, the Berea store manager, was great. My new floor looks wonderful and adds so much to my home. Thank you Pucher's!
Mariann helped me select window treatments for a newly remodeled kitchen. She was patient, creative and offered practical suggestions to deal with some unique aspects of our windows. Tom installed the window treatments. He was one of the most professional people we dealt with! He is meticulous, patient and works until the job is done right. I would absolutely call Pucher's the next time we need home redecorating and remodeling assistance. Thank you for an outstanding customer experience.
Once the beautiful new blinds were installed, my husband said "Wow - our house is starting to look like a great home."
Customer service distinguishes Pucher's from other retailers. Going back several generations to a location on Storer Ave, I believe. Pucher's Paints was the place my family relied upon for their paint, and later, flooring and window covering needs. Product knowledge is key.
A personal recommendation brought me to your store. I will gladly pass on to others a recommendation for your fine, prompt service.
We have shopped Pucher's for over 20 years. Always impressed with the help and knowledge of store staff. Love the vast array of design products and selection. The staff has been the same for years which leads one to believe that they enjoy working at Pucher's.
Attentive, AAA service. Would DEFINITELY recommend you. I'm an Angie's List member and I will let them know.
Patty was extraordinarily helpful when I was deciding on window coverings. She really provided design advice and spent a great deal of time with me studying various options. Because of her help, I was confident in my choice and absolutely love the finished product!
Our new carpeting is just beautiful! It makes our family room look larger and matches perfectly with our decor. Our sales consultant was helpful with many suggestions. The installer was very neat and his work was remarkable. This was our first project with your store and we will have another project in the future.
I always trust and look forward to Bill's guidance and suggestions with color. Julie was also helpful in selecting color/fabric. Pucher's is definitely our store of choice when it comes to remodeling our home.
I would not deal with any other store for my flooring, carpeting, blinds and hopefully, draperies. The salespeople in your Berea store are great!
The services provided by Pucher's helped put the finishing touches on our renovated basement. Their professionalism and attention to quality provides trustworthy service. We are satisfied customers and will definitely refer and HIGHLY recommend!
I had a great experience with Pucher's! We definitely needed new carpet for four bedrooms and the stairs and hallway, but I was not looking forward to the chaos and disruption. Everyone at Pucher's did a great job to minimize the chaos and make this a very easy experience. Sherry (Pucher's Westlake) did an outstanding job of helping us pick the carpet and explain the process. Steve and Ryan did an amazing job on the installation - great workmanship, very professional and when they left, everything was clean and neat. We are thrilled with our new carpet and our overall experience with Pucher's. Thanks!
Everything was done smoothly and efficiently. Installation was scheduled at my convenience at lunchtime not to disrupt patients coming to and from my office.
I made the mistake about seven years ago of going to a large home improvement chain for carpeting. The price and selection were fine, but the installation was not good. I was not comfortable with the people who came to the house and the job was just ok. I will not do that ever again. All of the installers through Pucher's have been both professional and personable.
We love the carpet in the living room & dining room that we purchased from Pucher's. The sales staff & installers were great. Our family always thinks of Pucher's as the "go-to" for decorating. You have furnished our family homes with carpeting and window treatments many times. Thank you to all involved.
Having Pucher's two blocks away has been wonderful during the past eleven years as we have worked to restore and improve our 1871 Victorian home. For virtually every project, Pucher's has been our first stop - even before hitting Home Depot for drywall, wood and hardware. Pucher's is where we have come for inspiration and ideas, and the staff at the Berea store - Bill, Cindy, Susan & Julie - have been more than helpful. In fact, they showed genuine interest in our projects and offered useful advice that was based on experience. From the multi-colored exterior paint job to the interior color design and carpeting, Pucher's has helped us revitalize a classic old house, and we continue to receive compliments from family and friends, and even from passers-by who like the "painted lady" look.
I am not good with any type of change. But, the people at Pucher's helped with my new selections. When the whole family got together for Easter, everyone loved the new look. I was so pleased with the carpet installers. We had a "Big Box" store install our bedroom carpeting and their installers left marks in our baseboards every foot or so. I then had to go over all the baseboards and cover all the marking - what a mess! With Pucher's' installers, they did a beautiful job and were done quickly. I've already recommended Pucher's to friends and family.
Tom, our installer, was tremendous. Very professional installing our blinds. Nothing to clean up afterward. He explained everything to us on how to make sure the blinds last. Was very patient answering our questions. I'd recommend Tom to anyone who needs something installed. Tom waited for me to get home before he came out at 5:30pm. Mariann, our sales lady, came to our house to match up a color that would look best with the room. She also was very patient with us looking at several different colors at the house and the store helping us to pick the best color.
Everything went smoothly from the in-store-service through the installation. The staff at the store took the time to discuss our ideas for our house and what product they could provide to best meet our needs. The installers did a wonderful job - they were efficient and tidy without rushing through their work needlessly. Everyone involved was very courteous.
Not only did I like installer Brandon, I liked the work he did. He's welcome in our house anytime.
We just love coming home now with the new beautiful shades & curtains & carpet in our great room. Our sales consultant took some time to know us and help complete the room to a beautiful sophistication that is so us. The kitchen just received coordinating window treatments that flow nicely with the rest of the downstairs. The store has nice, efficient people to work with and we look forward to having the next room done as we have in the past. So pleased!!
We found dealing with Pucher's a great experience! I have bought different things there, from wallpaper to floor cleaner and I'm satisfied with it all. When I went to buy my carpet, I wasn't sure what I wanted and I think Cindy knew I wasn't pleased with what I first picked out. So she brought out different samples until we hit on the perfect one. Thank goodness for her! The men who installed the carpet did a great job. With all the carpet I've bought from other stores, never once did they ever sweep the rug when they were finished! I hope I can buy something in the near future.
Your sales staff are very knowledgeable. They have even answered questions about projects we are working on ourselves. We have had shades and blinds installed on three separate occasions. Dave has always been on time, pleasant, professional and cleans up after! Also gave demonstrations on operation and cleaning tips. Personally, we are trying to give the neighborhood businesses our business instead of the chains - there is a difference in quality.
Mariann (Pucher's Westlake) was more than helpful in the overall process of my blind selection.
Your tile installer (Rob) was a master craftsman who did impeccable work and did not leave until the cleanup was spotless.
We have lived in our home 45 years (we built it and did most of the decorating ourselves). I always shopped at your Bay Village store. I knew I wanted to buy from Pucher's before I entered your store. Since this was a seldom-used guest bedroom, I wanted a good quality, less expensive carpeting. I was also concerned about the hidden extra's (removal, etc). Katie Bartlett itemized everything in writing before I even asked. I was also able to save by scheduling install the day before Bay Village's bulk pickup.
I'm very happy with the color Katie picked for my blinds. I have no eye for color. I brought in paint and carpet samples and she picked a color that goes great in my family room.
Our home is 160 years old so we are a work in progress. All the flooring now matches throughout our home, improving its appearance 100%. When the product was not shipped on time, the both the sales person and installer went into overdrive to meet our needs.
We have bought from Pucher's for many years. Always a good experience. Staff is courteous and knowledgeable. Prices are reasonable. Timely on installations. Always a good job - that's why we keep coming back.
We moved into our home in December 2011 and put off updates because both bathrooms were carpeted. We liked the selection at Pucher's and made the right choice. Friends like the new floor. A beautiful match with countertop.
We have lived in Berea for over 30 years. Every time we need carpeting, paint, wallpaper, etc., we do our "due diligence" and get our estimates and shop. We always end up buying from Pucher's. Your prices are comparable to the places claiming to be "discount" and the selection is better. We know that we will get a quality product.
Debby helped us pick out the contemporary colors for our basement. I was nervous, but trusted her. Our basement looks fabulous. Everyone compliments us on the look!
Working with Sherry was a very nice experience. She went out of her way to get more carpet samples for us from the manufacturer. She answered all of my questions about warranties and carpet padding. The installers were friendly and did a "bang-up" job. This was our first experience with Pucher's and should we need your services in the future, we will certainly use you again. We are so impressed with the quality, the price and the friendliness. Your name was given to us by a neighbor and we are eternally grateful. We have had a lot of carpet installed (we built in 1966) and never have we had an installer who vacuumed or cleaned up as well as Steve and Ryan.
The staff at Pucher's has always been friendly and helpful assisting me with color choices for my home (I've always been a little afraid of color). I finished the last room recently and the colors flow nicely, giving a war, coordinated feeling throughout the house. I never thought I would be happy with a richer color palette, but in the process I've learned not to be afraid to try something new. I really love the colors we chose. Debby was available to visit my home and could relate to my particular needs and taste.
Pucher's' installers were very knowledgeable about their product and the installation process. They were neat and precise about clean-up and attention to detail. They called my attention to an electrical problem behind the stove and I was able to have it repaired by an electrician the same day.
Susan helped me a great deal in selecting the proper vinyl for my kitchen, foyer and baths, also focusing on meeting my price point. I'm very happy with the installation and vinyl selection.
I've experienced poor service from other vinyl companies in the past. Pucher's is #1 on Angie's List and I can see why. If you want the best - go to the best - and that is Pucher's.
I came to Pucher's for help to buy a shade for my newly painted bathroom. Cindy asked me what I had in mind. She looked up my paint color, gave suggestions regarding type of shade, fabric and color. I now have the perfect Graber shade that adds the right touch to the bathroom.
Lisa, Dave and Miguel (Pucher's N. Royalton) are very easy to work with and very knowledgeable. I feel very comfortable with them. This was our first experience with Pucher's and it will not be our last. I would especially like to commend Lisa with helping pick out our window treatments!
We have used Pucher's Decorating since we bought our home in 1987 and remodeled it over the years. Your quality and service have always been the best.
