AnnaSophia Robb has credited The Carrie Diaries with teaching her about fashion.
The actress admitted to Us Magazine that she actually had a limited knowledge of fashion before being cast as style icon Carrie Bradshaw.
"I've started to care a little more about fashion," Robb revealed. "I'm starting to wear a lot more tights now. Carrie wears a lot of tights."
She continued: "I'm starting to wear more patterns. Carrie doesn't really have a specific color - it's more layering of different patterns and textures and eras together."
Robb went on to admit that she occasionally tries to emulate Carrie Bradshaw's style in her own life.
"It kinda depends on the day - on how much energy I have to put into it," she teased. "On New Year's I wore a big poofy white skirt, which is very Carrie... big crinoline!"
The actress recently discouraged Carrie Diaries viewers from comparing the show to Sex and the City because they are targeted at different audiences.
The CW airs The Carrie Diaries on Mondays at 8/7c.

May Alert
"If it is not broke, don't fix it." There are times where this saying holds true, but in a safety program that attitude can cost you. An effective safety program is constantly adapting and changing to the unique environment of your business. There will be no two programs that can be run exactly the same. When developing your safety program, have you thought about how a preventive maintenance program fits in?
There are generally three types of maintenance: corrective, predictive, and preventive. Corrective maintenance is the action of fixing the equipment once it breaks or malfunctions. Predictive maintenance uses various tests and sensors to judge the condition of the equipment and fix it before it breaks. Using thermal cameras to measure the heat of a motor or bearing is one form of predictive maintenance. Preventive maintenance is planned or scheduled maintenance. Being proactive about maintenance and fixing it before it breaks can save time, money, and your employees. Replacing worn tires on your vehicle is better than having a blow out on the highway. Spending $100 on a worn fall harness is better than spending $100,000 on an injured employee.
5 Reasons You Need a Preventive Maintenance Program
Blog Contributed by MW Industrial
Let's face it, a lot of us are guilty of not giving our equipment much thought when it's working just fine. If it ain't broke, and all that. The problem with this mindset boils down to dollars. Simply put, you're going to spend significantly more money if your strategy is to simply react when an issue comes up with your equipment.
A successful preventive maintenance program improves the performance and safety of your company's valuable assets. Equally important, regularly scheduled maintenance helps you avoid unplanned downtime.
According to Plant Engineering's 2017 Maintenance Report, 69% of respondents have decreased downtime with a preventive maintenance program, while 66% report a reduced probability of equipment failure, 63% experienced improved overall equipment effectiveness and 62% have improved their plant's safety.
Need more convincing? Here are 5 good reasons why a proactive preventive maintenance approach will reduce your costs and improve overall operations.
1. Save Money
Unplanned downtime caused by equipment failure can cost a fortune in lost production revenue, not to mention emergency repair costs. Back in 2006, one minute of downtime in the auto industry was found to cost a whopping $22,000.
From paying technicians overtime to the cost of overnight parts delivery, everything is more expensive in an emergency—especially when a production line goes down.
A preventive maintenance program is simply good business. How good? How about a 545% return on investment, according to a recent study from Jones Lang LaSalle? Not a bad ROI, to say the least.
2. Maximize Efficiency
Regular equipment maintenance optimizes operations so you can run at maximum efficiency. According to CMMS software company, eMaint, most maintenance organizations operate at only 10% to 40% efficiency and spend a staggering 50% of their time on emergency work.
Keeping your equipment running at optimal potential increases uptime, enhancing production while reducing costs. Poorly maintained equipment uses a lot more power, resulting in increased energy costs that add up over time. Well-maintained equipment also reduces scrap produced by machinery that's operating at a sub-par performance level.
3. Prolong Equipment Life
Preventive maintenance programs result in longer lasting, better-performing equipment. According to Plant Engineering's survey, aging equipment is the leading cause of unscheduled downtime. Regular maintenance protects your investment and improves both your equipment's lifespan and performance. And as we all know, more efficient, effective equipment translates to higher profits.
4. Reduce Maintenance Costs
Reactive maintenance is widely thought to be anywhere from 2 to 5 times more expensive than preventive maintenance. Over a period of time, regularly scheduled maintenance minimizes breakdowns and makes for much quicker, easier repairs when issues do arise.
It's simply smarter to replace components that wear down before they fail. Preventing problems before they occur is always going to be less expensive than equipment failures.
5. Improve Safety and Reliability
Poorly operating machinery can create hazards and unsafe working conditions. Dulled and warped edges on equipment with grinding gears can be dangerous. Regular maintenance inspections ensure that faulty equipment doesn't cause injury. And when your equipment is in safe working order, your employees stay safe as well.
A preventive maintenance program can also help you earn a reputation as a reliable partner. Putting this proactive strategy in place goes a long way to helping you complete projects on time and deliver products without delay.
There are endless ways a preventive maintenance strategy can improve your operations. Implementing a successful preventive maintenance program can be time consuming and costly, but the rewards are well worth the effort.

We use the internet everyday, traveling from one website to the next, but most of us don't know what happens to our data as we sign in and out of different sites.
Decentralized Applications (Dapps) are apps that don't require any trusted third party to operate. Instead they are automated and immutable software applications that offer the power to #decentralize infrastructure availability and provide globally inclusive organisation and governance models and can advance through community driven evolution.
DApps, is usually pronounced D-Apps (especially in the Ethereum community) but more recently is often being pronounced simply as it's spelt… 'dapps'.
Decentralized Applications work in a P2P manner and this mechanism provides Security, Privacy and Immutability. Traditional tech companies are in for a challenge when it comes to Dapp competitors, as the concept provides many benefits for end-users and look to be widely adopted in the near future.
Your future grandchildren may one day ask you "Did you turn a blind eye to centralized abuse of power or stand up for DApps?"
Dapps work in a P2P manner effectively removing single points of failure, recording history on a publicly verifiable virtually unhackable blockchain providing security, censorship/corruption resistance, privacy/transparency and immutability.
Apps vs DApps : Centralized app models will likely be replaced by decentralized models in the near future.
It's a technology array of open-source protocols and often a decentralized organisational structure to govern its evolution. Although in its infancy, decentralized apps & Web3 technologies are set to become a powerful tech stack for creative, entrepreneurial or philanthropic individuals to interact with it. And by the time the millennials are running the show, the old school hierarchical and patriarchal organisational structures (that are still in existence) will likely be a human rights crime. Centralization enables corruption and elitist thievery, Decentralization is the dream, Dapps are a major part of the solution.
The DApp industry in its infancy, the 'buidling' phase… or early-stage life-cycle where we are seeing it's infrastructure currently being built with some early consumer facing experiments.
In the near future, we will surely see more sustainable examples that solve real problems including:
Our guess is the "if you can't beat 'em join 'em" mentality will apply to incumbents wishing to stay relevant with the fast emerging DApp alternatives.
When UX & UI of DApps are competitive with regular centralized apps, the DApps should obliterate the status quo as they encompass the increasingly sought out properties and benefits of what decentralization can provide such as:
Future generations may look back and view current centralized models of power and control in such a bad light, reminiscent of how we now look back at any socially accepted racism of the past.
As the DApp industry enters its mid-late stage of its life-cycle in many years from now, it's quite likely that many or most types of traditional business, nonprofit and government models completely convert to decentralized structures through the utilization of DApps.

MTV tonight announced the Top 10 UK MC's of 2010 and it certainly wasn't short of controversy.
The panel, which included: Joseph 'JP' Patterson (MTV), Logan Sama (Kiss 100), Ras Kwame (Broadcaster), Charlie Sloth (BBC 1Xtra/Radio 1) Chantelle Fiddy (RWD & Mixmag), Hattie Collins (RWD), Elijah (Butterz), Stanza (True Tiger), Ara (The Jump Off) and Donatella (Flava) all discussed and voted for their favourites. However, news has leaked that the list was altered at the last minute owing to pressure from industry representatives for leaving out certain individuals; namely Chipmunk and Dizzee Rascal.
The altered list did not affect the number 1 spot, with Tinie Tempah rightfully reigning supreme after an incredible 2010, but the whole premise of the list appears to be unclear.
Does chart success determine the position? What is the definition of an MC? Is Dizzee still classified as one? And obviously, why was the list altered?
If chart position is the main factor that determines the list, it begs the question; why was Wretch 32 removed following the success of 'Traktor' in the UK chart?
The inclusions of Maxta on the original list and Lowekey on the revised, is a bizarre choice on both counts; neither have had any success in the charts and if you ask any grime fan they will no doubt bombard you with names of MC's who are deemed better than the aforementioned.
The first of which would be JME, who unexplainably is nowhere to be seen. And this after having released what SME believe is the best grime album of 2010; BLAM! Any ideas? No neither do we.
None the less; MTV should be given credit for commissioning the show and as a result giving the UK Grime scene the exposure it deserves.
You could argue that it's irrelevant who made the list as the show has sparked discussions around the country; especially on Twitter where opinions have been rife since the announcement. Artists on the list will be recognised for being there and those who didn't make it will be the names on everyone's lips for weeks to come.
Check out the lists below:
Orginal list
1. Tinie Tempah

4. Wiley
5. D Double E

Last night, SME and the entourage had the pleasure of seeing Jessie J's live show at Scala in Kings Cross and with it, celebrate her Number 2 single in this weeks chart.
Getting straight to the point; Jessie was incredible. Her amazing voice filled the intimate venue, while her charisma and cheeky personality had the crowd in stitches and hanging on her every word.
So often artist (cough*Drake*cough) pad out their sets and only succeed in boring all of those in attendance. However, with Jessie we were not only treated to a vocal masterclass, but at times a stand-up comedy set. The girl is hilarious! And the best part is that it's all completely genuine because she was born to perform.
She opened the set with Mama Knows Best and followed with Stand Up, Nobody's Perfect, L.O.V.E and Who's Laughing Now.
The highlight of the night however, was Jessie's performance of Big White Room; the first track she ever wrote.
She announced that while recording her album, the perfection for which she aims has thus far eluded her on every recording of this song which means so much to her. "It's just never felt right" she said.
So, we were treated to something very special. The beautiful performance which was about to follow, would be the final recording of the song and will feature on her album.
At her request, the crowd were silent and she gave a flawless rendition which drew goosebumps all around. Watch the performance below:
This was followed by a special appearance from our favourite Essex boy Devlin who took to the stage to perform their new single 'Price Tag'.

Joker kills it once more. This time with a remix of Devlin's album track 'Let It Go' taken from Bud Sweat and Beers.
Full of synths and bass; just how SME like it. Screw faces at the ready.

Tom Cruise in Rain Man
Tom Cruise as Charlie Babbitt, yuppie exotic car sales executive
Across the United States, Summer 1988
Film: Rain Man
Release Date: December 16, 1988
Director: Barry Levinson
Wardrobe Credit: Bernie Pollack
WARNING! Spoilers ahead!
Let's kick off this summer's #CarWeek! As today, July 3, is Tom Cruise's birthday, there's hardly a more appropriate subject than the iconic Buick Roadmaster he drives for his trip across the United States with Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man.
Cruise stars as Charlie Babbitt, an L.A. yuppie with a failing exotic car import and sales business who just had to postpone a romantic getaway with his girlfriend Susanna (Valeria Golino) to return to Cincinnati for his estranged father's funeral. With his business in trouble, Charlie at least looks forward to the promise of a substantial inheritance until he learns that his sole endowment from the millionaire's estate is the very 1949 Buick convertible that drove father and son apart in the first place… Continue reading

Mogambo: Clark Gable's Navy Polo and Khakis
Clark Gable as Victor Marswell, big game hunter
Kenya, Summer 1952
Film: Mogambo
Release Date: October 9, 1953
Director: John Ford
Costume Designer: Helen Rose
WARNING! Spoilers ahead!
Red Dust was a steamy 1932 pre-Code drama that starred Clark Gable as a rugged yet caddish outdoorsman embroiled in a love triangle with the brassy Jean Harlow and the classy Mary Astor. The film was remade two decades later with Gable reprising his similar role though, in true Hollywood fashion, the two female leads were recast with the younger Ava Gardner and Grace Kelly, respectively.
Goodfellas – Henry's Herringbone Fleck Sportcoat
Ray Liotta as Henry Hill, New York mob associate and club owner
New York City, Spring 1964
Film: Goodfellas
Release Date: September 19, 1990
Director: Martin Scorsese
Costume Designer: Richard Bruno
It's gonna be a good summer!
…as Jimmy Conway tells Henry Hill after watching him split up the take from a recent robbery at the JFK's Air France terminal. Cargo thefts had always been a mob tradition, but the April 1967 heist of $420,000 in cash set a new high mark for the mob as the proceeds were all in "totally, totally untraceable". No need for shady fences or risky transactions of stolen goods.
Henry dresses fashionably for the robbery, wearing a herringbone sports coat that shows up a few times over the course of Goodfellas. It's a fine primer on how one can dress for a date, a heist, or even burying a mob murder victim. (Not that BAMF Style condones that sort of thing…) Continue reading
Casino Royale: Bond's Blue Sunspel Polo in Bahamas
Daniel Craig as James Bond, recently reactivated British secret agent
Bahamas, July 2006
Film: Casino Royale
Release Date: November 14, 2006
Director: Martin Campbell
Costume Designer: Lindy Hemming
After a brief lesson in How Not To Vacation 101 (getting a beautiful bedmate killed, stabbing an international arms dealer in the middle of a museum, being mistakenly arrested as a potential plane bomber, and checking his work e-mail), James Bond is taken back to the Bahamas via helicopter to meet with "M" and discuss his future.
What'd He Wear?
Following his adventure in Miami, Bond returns to the Bahamas via helicopter, dressed far more casually than he was for his initial arrival. Although casual, it is still a classically simple look and provides Bond with his first on-screen polo shirt since the Connery era. The outfit is very fitting for the warm climate and can be easily adapted for any man. Continue reading
Bond Style – Bolivian Desert Combat in Quantum of Solace
Daniel Craig as James Bond, rogue British secret agent
Bolivia, Summer 2008
Film: Quantum of Solace
Release Date: October 31, 2008
Director: Marc Forster
Costume Designer: Louise Frogley
Recently, I covered Butch Cassidy's attire while in Bolivia. Exactly 100 years later, James Bond was wreaking havoc on the country in Quantum of Solace. Of course, real Bond fans know that the film's version of "Bolivia" was actually filmed in the Atacama Desert in Chile.
Some have complained about Bond wearing jeans for these scenes, but it's actually very utilitarian and – come on already, people – this was 2008, not 1958. With some jeans costing thousands of dollars, albeit impractically, denim has come a long way from being the domain of the laborer. Continue reading
Don Draper's California Adventure
Jon Hamm as Don Draper aka Dick Whitman, overwhelmed Madison Avenue ad man
Los Angeles, September 1962

When he's sent to California on a business trip, he gradually begins to realize the opportunity open to him and he embraces the chance to take an impromptu vacation. Continue reading

Lyrics "With My Love I Could Get Through To You" Music and Lyrics by Danny Hauger
Clearly in the morning,
Cloudy in the night.
Clarity is waning,
Wrong the becomes the right.
Too many escaping,
Wisdom of the heart.
But I want to break free.
With my love I could get through to you,
With my heart I can try,
Its been so long since I was really true.
An authentic sky between us now.
Turn off all the warning signs,
And speak to me the stars,
Light up all the vulnerable incandescence,
And show me who you are.

Spoilers for Solo: A Star Wars Story ahead…
While you were celebrating #StarWarsDay2018, Lucasfilm was busy building fan anticipation for the upcoming official release of Solo: A Star Wars Story on May 25. In this new 30-second clip, entitled "Ride," we get a few more snippets of dialogue and another "new" look for the Millennium Falcon:
I was not eagle-eyed enough to find it, but one of my tweeps spotted a familiar shape flying through the frame:
In the last solo spot the falcon recovers the original shape, maybe the end of the movie? pic.twitter.com/xw5NejLD4I

Awesome TV spot. Awesome spot on the TV.
Can't wait for May 24, my friends. Can't wait… JB

With Amazon Prime Day fast approaching we're getting ready to bring you all the best deals throughout the sale when it starts at midday on July 16 and right through Prime Day itself on the 17.
There will be hundreds, if not thousands of deals to choose from and we'll be rummaging through the lot to find you the best deals on TVs, laptops, games, consoles, smart home tech, Amazon devices and lots more besides.
As we're keen tech buyers too though, we'll also be on the lookout for a few bargains to treat ourselves on the day. So we've had a little roundup around the TechRadar office to show you what items we're planning on buying on Amazon Prime Day if the price is right. I'll get the ball rolling then.
Brendan Griffiths: Deals Editor
I've made my peace that the Kindle Oasis just isn't coming down to a sane price anytime soon. Instead, I'm hoping Amazon Prime Day is going to give me a chance to finally go full Android and by that I mean buy a Chromebook. Seeing as I use my work laptop at home too, my home laptop wasn't exactly getting much use, but I was still pretty annoyed when the most recent Windows update bricked it. So replacing it with something cheap seems like the sensible option.
That being said, I'd like something new rather than the same old laptop experience. So, seeing as I'm buried deep into Google's ecosystem now, the stripped-back OS and synchronicity of Google's suite and Play Store apps is really appealing. Ideally, I'm hoping for something that doesn't weigh a ton, with a brushed steel finish and 4GB of RAM so hopefully it won't fall over every time I open three apps at once with a stupid number of Chrome tabs open permanently too. So ideally, I'd love to see something like this Acer Chromebook CB3-431 for £200. That or I'll ply our IT guys with beer and Haribo and ask them to fix my old laptop.
Matt Hanson: Computing Editor
I've recently moved into a new house, and its back garden was covered in pebbles. Just in time for the summer, I've got rid of the pebbles and sprinkled grass seeds, which have sprouted and grown at an alarming rate. So now I'm thinking of ways to cut the new grass without stomping all over the virgin lawn (which is much nicer than any of my neighbours', I've noticed with joy). So, I'm asking Father Bezos to leave a robotic lawn mower in my stocking this Amazon Prime Day. The Flymo 1200R Lithium-Ion Robotic Lawn Mower looks like it will do the job splendidly, so I am hoping it gets a nice discount on the day. It's currently listed as one of Amazon's Choices, and while I am not really sure what that means, I hope it results in a bit of a price cut.
Cat Ellis: Downloads Editor
I'm death to laptops. I don't leave them on cafe tables or spill tea all over them – I'm simply a heavy-handed typist and few notebooks can handle such a hammering. I should probably invest in something you could safely run over with a tractor, but if an IdeaPad 320S saw a hefty discount this Amazon Prime Day, at least replacing my latest victim would be inexpensive. A great deal on a little coffee machine would help keep my eyes open for those long typing sessions as well (and stop me falling asleep on the keyboard). With the right Amazon Prime Day deal, a cute little Nespresso Vertuo Plus could provide the caffeine hit I need to meet my word targets.
John McCann: UK Phones Editor and Licensing Lead
Last year I got very excited over the announcement of a new computer game. Two Point Hospital is the brainchild of the folks behind the legendary Theme Hospital, and it looks to bring the iconic action bang up to date. There is a problem though. It's a PC game and the only computer I have at home is a humble, first-gen Chromebook. There's no way I'll be able to run the game, which means I need an affordable, modest laptop to get my gaming fix. If the Dell Inspiron 15.6-Inch Gaming Notebook can shed another few hundred from its price tag then I'll be curing patients til the cows come home.
Joe Osborne: Senior Editor
Since I've made the smartest decision of my life in relegating the horrid tasks of sweeping and mopping to a Roomba and Braava Jet, respectively, I'm chomping at the bit for the chance to automate my most hated chore: mowing my lawn(s). Yes, like my buddy Matt Hanson, I just really want a Roomba for lawns, and in particular the Worx WG794 Landroid robotic lawnmower. This beauty costs a small fortune, but can mow your lawn at 40 minutes per charge, able to return to its charger automatically to prepare itself for the next mow. This means more time to spend with my family on Sundays and less time pushing a gas guzzler around the yard. The product would be a perfect candidate for a summer Amazon Prime Day sale with all of those lawns to mow across the US.
Adam Marshall: Subscriptions and Services Editor
Ever since sitting next to a couple of dentists at a wedding last summer (more fun than it sounds), I've been conscious that my filling-riddled set of not-so-pearly whites are at risk from deteriorating further by my insistence on using a classic manual toothbrush. I missed out on bagging a new electric brush during Black Friday, so I'm hoping Amazon will deliver a bargain brush on Prime Day. Using the best electric toothbrush guide produced by our friends over at T3, I've got it narrowed down to either the Oral-B Genius 9000 or Philips Sonicare HX9332 – if either come in under the £100-mark, then I'm sold.
James Peckham: Wearables Editor
A robot vacuum and an Amazon Echo Dot are how far I've managed to get along the road to making my flat into a fully automated smart home. It may not be a tech-filled paradise just yet, but the next stepping stone is plugging in some smart lights. This Amazon Prime Day feels like the perfect opportunity to grab my first Philips Hue Starter Kit to connect up to my Echo Dot and be one step closer to never having to leave my bed again. As much as I'm looking forward to a price drop on the Starter Kit, I hope Amazon doesn't have a flash sale for all of its smart home products as I'm not sure if my bank balance will be able to take it…
Phil Hall: Photography Editor
Sony's just launched the rather excellent but very pricey RX100 VI high-end premium compact camera. Now, I'm not expecting it to be heavily discounted this Amazon Prime Day, but older RX100 series cameras don't die, they just get cheaper, and as we saw on Black Friday, there were some fantastic deals to be had on these powerful pocket cameras. Hopefully that means we'll see the RX100 IV and RX100 V nicely discounted.
My old Garmin Forerunner 910XT multisport watch is starting to look a bit tired, and takes an absolute age to find a satellite when I switch it on, so with a bit of luck I'll be able to nab a Garmin Forerunner 735XT for under £200.
Fingers crossed this lot gets a discount on Prime Day then! If you want to know what the best deals are on the day be sure to bookmark our Amazon Prime Day 2018 hub.

Word of an international crisis reaches your desk in the United Nations Headquarters. How will you react? How will you respond to the reactions of other nations? A four-member Cedarville University team recently had to come to grips with such questions at the collegiate Dayton Model United Nations Conference (DAYMUNC). At DAYMUNC a crisis situation or global issue is presented to the student "delegates," and they must react just as their assigned country would. In the three-day-long conference, students exercise skills of diplomacy, leadership, persuasion, negotiation, speaking, and writing, to come up with a written resolution that all "nations" can agree to and pass. All the while, a committee judges participants on their teamwork and ability to represent their country. With two students assigned the country of Ireland and two the Philippines, the Cedarville team spent three weeks before the conference gathering all the facts they could about the political and diplomatic stances of those nations. Their hard work paid off, as senior Kimberly Edlund (Cedarville, Ohio) and sophomore Jack Gray (Juneau, Alaska) earned First Honorable Mention and Honorable Mention, respectively. Juniors Colby Mathews (Bedford, Ind.) and Timothy Sparks (Toledo, Ohio) also represented their nations well. Edlund, who is team captain, found DAYMUNC to be a challenging experience. "We can talk about global issues in class, but we are talking from an American standpoint," she remarked. "Model UN forces us to step outside the American viewpoint and see what other countries experience." This understanding of other countries is essential in today's world, according to Cedarville Professor of International Studies Dr. Frank Jenista. The former American diplomat explained, "No matter your major or GPA, if you don't know what's going on in the world and can't communicate effectively to people who are different from you, you aren't headed for success in the 21st century." He continued, "By preparing students who understand other cultures, are comfortable with the cross cultural environment, and most importantly can communicate effectively to people from many different worldviews, we're preparing our students to carry out much more effectively Christ's command in the Great Commission."

The 80s was full of decade defining moments, some of them fictional and some of them tragically real. Many of them were broadcast on TV and with only a few channels to choose from the majority of us were witness to them through our TV Screens. Here's our list of 10 80s tv moments that we'll always remember!
1. Scott & Charlene Get Married
As weddings go this was probably second only to another certain wedding further down our list. We all tuned in to see the pair get married. It also gave Angry Anderson a hit record with 'Suddenly' Get your tissues out here it is in all it's glory!
2. Torvill & Dean Win Olympic Gold
It was the winter of 1984 and the nation gathered around their TV sets with bated breath to see Torvill and Dean perform there Bolero routine. Not only did they win gold but they were awarded the perfect score! There place in the nations heart remains as strong today. Here is their Winning Bolero performance.
3. Channel 4 Starts
It was the 2nd November 1982 4.45pm (Why didn't they go with 4.44pm) when the nation gained a fourth TV channel. In this day and age new channels appear almost daily but back then it was a very big deal. The first programme ever broadcast on Channel 4 was of course Countdown!
Here is the moment the channel started Broadcasting.

We had our old & tired flooring (20 years old) replaced or redone by Dan's team at Signature. On the main floor we had the old hardwood sanded & refinished and added new hardwood in the dining room. We are very pleased with the result. It all looks like new. The transition between the old & new hardwood is completely unnoticeable. We also had new carpet installed in the living room & office on the main floor and on all of the upper floors. Amazing difference in both the look & feel. Overall we would recommend Signature – they were helpful & knowledgeable when we chose the flooring at the showroom; any concerns or questions were addressed promptly & the price was fair. Can't really ask for more. Thanks Dan!
Just wanted to send you a thank you for all your great work in ordering and scheduling our flooring installations. You made it very easy and stressless for us. Also please extend our thanks to the flooring crew for the amazing job they all did. Very professional, friendly and clean. We could not be happier with the results.
Thank you for sending Leszek to repair the grout in the floor. So far it looks great and we were very impressed with this nice gentleman. He did a great job.
I wanted to let you know how impressed we were with your installation team at Signature Flooring. They exceeded all our expectations and did a fantastic job. The plumbers and cleaners were excellent as well. I cannot say enough about how pleased we are with the new floor. We would not hesitate to recommend Signature Floors to anyone!
In 2016, Signature Floors was brought in by our insurance agent after a water leak caused severe damage to a portion of the maple flooring that extended throughout the main floor of our 15-year-old home. Signature was extremely professional, diligent and responsive to not only replacing the portion of flooring that required a special order, but in refinishing the entire floor in a colour more suited to our home. It completely changed the look of the house. We were delighted with the results.
I wish to pass along my extreme satisfaction with the work completed by Signature Floors. Thank you for the excellent job.
Hi Dan, Thanks for the professional work done during the process of selection and installation of our new beautiful floor at home Best Regards
Such a pleasure to work with Dan and his team. I had our kitchen, front room, halls and stairs redone and was both amazed by the speed at which the work was completed (Greg W. is awesome), and thrilled with the final outcome. The price was reasonable and I will definitely be back when I am …
Our condo had a water flood that damaged our furnace rooms, laundry room and a significant area of the wooden flooring. Starting from the selection process of the tiles and laminated wood styles to the completion of the renovation, Signature Floors exceeded my wife's and my expectation. The final product was immaculate and accurate in all …
We used Signature Floors to install hardwood in our kitchen and family room. They also removed the laminate from the family room and reinstalled it in a bedroom after removing the old carpet. Dan the owner was very courteous and responsive. The install team did a great job and was also very courteous and professional. …

We have worked with Spurgeons to shape the research, and then to develop media packages to secure coverage – to create discussion and to raise awareness of the charity's work and impact.
We have generated media coverage in titles including the Sunday Mirror, The Week, First News, Charity Finance, BBC Radio London, Nursery World and Church Times, as well as multiple blog posts. We also secured Spurgeons as a Mumsnet campaign of the week for 2017 and 2018.

Seattle Cop Pepper Sprays Teacher Who Was Talking On Phone (Video)
A Seattle police officer apparently pepper sprayed a high school teacher, Jesse Hagopian, who was talking on his cellphone while walking in a Martin Luther King Day parade on Jan. 19.
A video (below) of the incident was uploaded to YouTube on Jan. 28 by Hagopian's lawyer, James Bible.
"I felt the piercing pain shoot through my eye, my eardrum and my nostril, all over my cheek and face," Hagopian told KOMO (video below).
Hagopian filed a tort claim, the first step in a lawsuit, on Jan. 28 against the City of Seattle and the police department, noted The Stranger.
"(Hagopian) was pepper sprayed irrationally by a police officer, no provocation and no reason," Bible told KOMO.
Seattle Police Department spokesman Patrick Michaud said he couldn't comment as he had not seen the video, but Seattle Mayor Mayor Ed Murray said in a statement, "We have worked to create and implement a comprehensive and transparent police accountability system that will be the most robust in the nation. Under the accountability system that we've set up, the uses of force that occurred during the MLK protests are currently under review and being investigated."
