Memorial Day Events:

Read more about the history of Memorial day here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_Day -
Memorial Day is a US federal holiday wherein the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces are remembered.^[1] The holiday, which is celebrated every year on the final Monday of May,^[2] was formerly known as Decoration Day and originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service.^[3] It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.
Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. Many volunteers place an American flag on each grave in national cemeteries.
Annual Decoration Days for particular cemeteries are held on a Sunday in late spring or early summer in some rural areas of the American South, notably in the mountains. In cases involving a family graveyard where remote ancestors as well as those who were deceased more recently are buried, this may take on the character of an extended family reunion to which some people travel hundreds of miles. People gather on the designated day and put flowers on graves and renew contacts with kinfolk and others. There often is a religious service and a "dinner on the ground," the traditional term for a potluck meal in which people used to spread the dishes out on sheets or tablecloths on the grass. It is believed that this practice began before the American Civil War and thus may reflect the real origin of the "memorial day" idea.^[4]
Memorial Day is not to be confused with Veterans Day; Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving, while Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans.^[5]For complete references please click here.

Laminate Flooring vs. Hardwood Flooring: The Great Debate

Laminate Flooring vs. Hardwood Flooring: The Great Debate

Warmth, natural beauty and timeless appeal have made hardwood flooring one of the most sought-after amenities for homes across the country. Laminate flooring, which is crafted using a High Density Fiber (HDF) with a top layer that offers a similar look, gives consumers an alternative to solid wood. If you’re trying to figure out whether hardwood or laminate is right for your home, consider the pros and cons of each and how they relate to your lifestyle and your budget.

Price

When choosing between hardwood and laminate flooring, consider both the price and the quality of the investment. Laminate is popular for its affordability, and it can cost a few dollars per square foot all the way up to 50% less than hardwood when you include installation. Premium laminate products can have moderate resale value, while well-maintained hardwood floors can increase the resale value of your home exponentially.

Installation

With locking, glue-down or floating installation options, laminate floors are usually easy to install (or uninstall if you’re replacing your floor). Some solid hardwood floors require nail-down installation, which can be time-consuming and make future removal more difficult. However, with current technology, many popular hardwood options are now available in engineered forms that require installation similar to that of laminate.

Maintenance

Laminate and hardwood floors are both relatively easy to clean, but they differ in maintenance requirements. Most laminates are more resistant to moisture, fading and scratches, so they can be a better choice for kitchens or bathrooms where a lot of water is used, spaces that receive a lot of sunlight, or areas that face high levels of foot traffic. Then again, if damaged, laminate floors might not be easy to repair, while you can fix imperfections in hardwood floors by sanding or refinishing.

Durability

You can keep hardwood and laminate floors looking beautiful for years, but the difference between them becomes more pronounced as time goes on. With proper care, the life expectancy for most laminate flooring is about 20 years. Well-kept hardwood flooring can last a lifetime and add classic appeal to any home for generations.
