		<description><![CDATA[Service Magic has generally been a good source of referrals for us. We've used them a couple of times in the past for other services, with generally excellent service from the contractors they have referred. 

We moved last week (finally) and the first thing we did was have the carpets cleaned and have a cleaning service to scrub the place down before furniture and boxes were unloaded and unpacked. We used Service Magic to get referrals for a carpet cleaner, and after getting estimates and interviewing several companies we chose Kwik Klean (www.kwikklean.com). We chose that company because we were dealing directly with the owner and figured that he would give us good service since it was his own company. We were very, very wrong.

What&#8217;s extremely interesting to me is two stories this week from Delta flights, where passengers took videos of their ordeal. The first story is a Delta commuter flight [...]]]></description>
