So what should you do if your carpet
develops ripples? If the carpet is
still under warranty, the best thing
to do is contact the installer and
the retailer where you purchased
the carpet. If you don’t get any
help there, the manufacturer would
be the next logical step. Often a
manufacturer will be able to exert
some pressure on the retailer to do
the right thing. You may have to be

Internet Tidbit: Calendly
Have you ever had to play phone or email tag over and
over trying to get a meeting set up? Next time you need to
schedule something with someone, use Calendly instead. All
you have to do is connect your Google Calendar to the site,
and Calendly will know your availability. It can then coordinate with others
to find all possible meeting times. Someone looking for a meeting time with
you can even make their own appointment with you. The service is free, but
if you want to schedule group meetings you would want to upgrade for $10
a month.
Firework Viewing Safety
The National Council of Fireworks Safety recommends public fireworks
displays as a safe alternative to using fireworks yourself. Although you are
not handling and lighting the fireworks, there are some safety precautions
you should take when attending a public display.
Spectators should obey all show personnel and respect all safety barriers
set up in the area. The best viewing locations are a quarter of a mile or
more away. Attempting to get close to the firing area with the hopes of
seeing a better show will actually decrease your chance of enjoying the
action.
Although it is rare,
occasionally a
firework component
may fall to the
ground without
exploding. These
materials should
never be touched. If
you come across any
firework or portion
of one, notify law
enforcement or
fire personnel
immediately.
If you are headed
out to a fireworks
show and think your dog might enjoy it too, think again. Pets have
very sensitive ears and the noise from a fireworks display can be quite
uncomfortable for them. They will be much happier safe at home.
Finally, don’t bring your own fireworks to a public display. Sparklers,
fountains, and other items are dangerous when handled and detonated
when a crowd is present. You’ll find plenty of excitement by just watching
the show.
