Philadelphia International Airport has something new for us to pass the time between flights.
Located in the concourse between terminals A and B is Intellifit, a virtual fitting room. All you do is get inside a cylindrical kiosk, fully clothed, for a few seconds. This kiosk sends low-power radio waves to take detailed measurements of your body. The software then creates a free, FitPrint that can be used to find your perfect size in clothing brands like Lands'End, Gap, Nautica, Dockers, Jos.A Bank, Levi's and Nordstrom.
So the next time your stuck in Philly try something new and see what your free Virtual Fitting Room has in store for you.

Blown-In Insulation
I want to share my story about our family's experience when we trusted a company to blow insulation into the exterior walls of our home.
I am not going to name the company, but this is a well-known large company located in Erie with offices outside the Erie area as well.
We decided to have our home's exterior walls insulated in the Fall of 2006. We live in an older city home and knew there was absolutely nothing in-between our walls. We contracted a company after a sales guy assured us about his product and that the job would be well done by his crew.
Many flags were raised when the job was done. We were not to happy about their clean-up, the amount of siding they broke, and that they were blowing in the wrong insulation to begin with. Although I was not happy with the company's professionalism, the job was supposedly done and although I always had a suspicion, they were paid $300 less and were on their way.
In November 2007, I had a new cable line installed in a third floor room. Since the cable guy was drilling holes I asked him to check if he sees insulation. . . . He sees no insulation and this now leads me to the beginning of a fiasco to get the insulation company to return to my home and prove to me that there is insulation in my walls.
After, a few months of the run around, two guys finally come out and they confirm only about 1/4 of the house has been insulated. You have got to be kidding! They never insulated my home. These two guys proceeded to do the job that was never done a year and a half ago, with a promise to return a week later and finish a few other areas.
Meanwhile, I spoke with a lawyer friend and he says you need to contact the Attorney General if this issue cannot be resolved between us.
A week later the two guys never returned. From this then started numerous calls, complaints, emails, and consumption of my time. I finally had it resolved where I got my money back, plus some. Although I never needed to send my letter to the Attorney General I wonder how many homes this company promised to insulate and never did.
Fortunately I listened to my instinct, even though it was nearly 2 years later.
