Review of Lowe’s, Missouri City

Posted by by cjziegle on Citysearch On July - 31 - 2011 ADD COMMENTS

Due to my experiences with this store, I will never step foot in Lowes again and I am selling my stock. I feel they could care less about their customers.

They attempted installing Kraftmaid kitchen cabinets for my mother over a year ago, and she still has damaged cabinets – consequently she can’t even install counters or a running kitchen sink. Now they finally admitted things went wrong, but getting them to fix it is like pulling teeth. The customer should not have to go through this…

How to Watch TV News: The best book on the TV news biz

Posted by Houston.BloggersPub On July - 31 - 2011 ADD COMMENTS

How to Watch TV News: Revised EditionI used to actually review all the books I read. I’m not sure how many out there really care about what I read, but I did get through one you might like if you are into TV news. How to Watch TV News: Revised Edition by Neil Postman and Steve Powers was a book that came out a while ago and was recently updated. If you are interested in a TV news career…read this book. If you are new to the TV business…read this book. If you are just a media geek…read this book. After working in TV news since 1995, I found this book to be the most accurate depiction of how and why the business runs the way it does. Also, watch this movie.

I'm Feeling Lucky: The Confessions of Google Employee Number 59Currently I am reading I’m Feeling Lucky: The Confessions of Google Employee Number 59 by Douglas Edwards. I will review this book when I finish. (In full disclosure, the publisher sent me a free copy to review on my blog).

Here are some other titles I read and recommend. Obviously a lot are rock music books, so keep in mind, you probably should be a fan of the band to read them. The Vince Neil book was the worst of the group, Sammy Hagar’s was the best of the bunch. If you click on any of the titles, you will be taken to Amazon.com where you can buy them. As an affiliate member, I get a small percentage of the sale. Thanks in advance.

Bossypants by Tina Fey

Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock by Sammy Hagar

Eddie Trunk’s Essential Hard Rock and Heavy Metal by Eddie Trunk

Tattoos & Tequila: To Hell and Back with One of Rock’s Most Notorious Frontmen by Vince Neil

Review of Cougar Pallet Inc, Houston

Posted by by JohnVic7 on Citysearch On July - 31 - 2011 ADD COMMENTS

I was referred to this company by a friend and I was unfortunately disappointed. The delivery was fast,but the quality of the pallets was not at all what I was expecting. The pallets seemed to be poorly made. I overpaid for a product expecting quality because of the company name.

Review of Grand Travel & Cruise, Sugar Land

Posted by by chuck borromeo on Citysearch On July - 30 - 2011 ADD COMMENTS

My family had our best vacation ever thanks to Oslynn. She made sure that the trip exceeded all expectations and we were just awed each day. But the pleasant experience started way before the trip. Oslynn handled our travel arrangement like no other from the reservation, flights, land arrangement, hotel stay, dinner reservations..so stress free and just perfect.

I have been in luxury hotel development for many years. The Barcelo Riviera May resort complex elevated the standards of all …
