Poor Customer Service

So we're in the market for a used ski boat, and I've been searching all over for a Sport Nautique. I've been searching all over, ebay, correctcraftfan.com, planetnautique.com, some others, and boatrader.com. I think I found one on boatrader and it's 2 hours away at Culver's Portside Marina in Culver, In. So I call and get no answer so I leave a message to call me back. Now the boat is listed for $25400, which is pretty ridiculously high for that year and model, but whatever. No call back by the next day. I emailed them through boat trader the first day I saw it too, but no email back to me after a day. Literally 6-8 phone calls to Tom, the owners voice message box in the next day or two and not a single call back or answered phone. I emailed them again, but nothing.
I understand it takes some people a little time to get in touch with people, but if you had someone interested in buying a $24,500 boat, wouldn't you at least call them back or shoot off a quick email? Finally, another day passes and I get an email, "the sport is sold, I'll find you another one."
This guy must think he's the only boat dealer on the planet. I sent him back an email explaining that since his complete lack of communication and customer service, I wasn't interested in dealing with a marina like that. Even if they did have a boat I was interested in, I wouldn't buy from a dealership like that.
It really speaks volumes about a companies lack of customer service when you treat people like that and can't communicate in a timely manner or with a somewhat professional type email response. Yes, Tom, I'll gladly take my $24,400 and spend it somewhere else.

Jesus paid the price and the check cleared!

Good lesson from About.com: Color Theory Lesson: Complementary Colors

The complementary color of a primary color (red, blue, or yellow) is the color you get by mixing the other two primary colors. So the complementary color of red is green, of blue is orange, and of yellow is purple.

What About Secondary Colors?





The complementary of a secondary color is the primary color that wasn't used to make it. So the complementary color of green is red, of orange is blue, and of purple is yellow.

Why are Complementary Colors Important in Color Theory?



When placed next to each other, complementary colors make each other appear brighter, more intense. The shadow of an object will also contain its complementary color, for example the shadow of a green apple will contain some red.

How am I Going to Remember This?



The color triangle as (shown above) makes it easy to remember: the three primary colors are in the corners. The color you get by mixing two primaries is between them (red and yellow make orange; red and blue make purple; yellow and blue make green). The complementary color of a primary color is the color opposite it (green is the complementary of red, orange for blue, and purple for yellow).


Print out Color Mixing Triangle Worksheet and paint it in. It may seem like a simple exercise, hardly worth spending time on, but it's the first step in a fundamental painting skill -- successful color mixing. Put it up on the wall where you can see it at a glance until you've internalized which colors are primaries, secondaries, tertiaries, and complementaries.

What Happens if You Mix Complementary Colors?


If you mix complementary colors with one another, you get a tertiary color, particularly browns (rather than grays).

Obama campaigning for 2012 already

Since my comment on his YouTube video probably won't get posted after screening, here's what I posted (no need for it to go to waste):

Is he going to run on the theme of "HOPE", because I hope Barack Obama doesn't screw up the country more than he already has.  I hope the economy doesn't get even worse than it already is and I hope we elect a leader who actually cares more about this country than what the rest of the world thinks about it.
My hope is that someone other than Obama gets elected president in 2012.
