Faulty Sunbeam Heaters-SQH310
Posted by Gimpychris2763 on 01/28/2012
SCHENECTADY, NEW YORK -- I have been using the Sunbeam Electric heaters, model SQH310 for the past 3 years and have been very satisfied. However, this year I purchased one at our Walmart Store and found it to be faulty. On the past heaters I owned when you turned it off the red indicator light went off. On the new heater, it stayed on even though the switch was in the off position. The thermostat did not work. I took the heater back and got a replacement. The identical problems were with the 2nd model. I called the Sunbeam consumer line and was told by the representative that the light should go out when the heater was turned off. He said to go back to Walmart and have them open another heater and plug it in at the store. Again, the light stayed on and the thermostat did not work. I informed Walmart that these heaters seemed to be defected. They could care less!! They said it was Sunbeam's problem and they are the ones to do a recall. I called Sunbeam again. This time the representative said it was alright if the light stayed on. Apparently it lets you know the unit is still plugged in. I can somewhat understand this even though I like the old design where when you turn it off, it is off!! No current is running through it!! I then questioned why on all three heaters the thermostat is not working. On the 3rd one I asked for my money back. These WERE great safe heaters. Apparently there has been a design change and I no longer trust them. They had a great product and for some unknown reason, they trashed it. I will no longer be buying Sunbeam products. They are having problems with ALL their products-heaters, electric blankets, electric heating pads and coffee pots.....etc etc etc. I no longer trust this company. What infurates me also is how the Walmart "managers??" show absolutely no interest or care about the problem. Even when I told them these things could cause fires-three heaters with broken thermostats?? If fires results from these heaters can Walmart be sued?? If not-why??

The light stays on all the time or it goes off eventually? If it goes off eventually, it may just be a warning that the unit is hot (I've seen that with flat top stoves). What indication did you have that the thermostat was defective (other than the light)?
Posted by trmn8r on 2012-01-28:
The light staying on could be a safety feature, because I believe it is recommended to unplug these before leaving unattended.
A good owner's manual SHOULD include the operating modes and explain how the light is supposed to work.
When you asked about the thermostats not working, what explanation were you given? If all the units had non-functioning thermostats, the manager should have shown at least an interest in letting someone know.

In answer to the two comments on my report for the SQH310 Sunbeam heaters.-In answer to the first question, the light does not go out after a time-it stays on until unplugged. The 2nd question-when you have obtained a comfortable heat, you slowly move the thermostat dial to a lower heat until it shuts off-this maintains the temperature the room was at when you lowered it. As the room cools down, the heat will go on automatically to maintain the desired temperature you selected and shut off once reached. . As stated, I have been buying these heaters for the last 3 years and they all worked this way. The three I bought this year (and returned) the thermostat did not work-it did not turn itself back on to maintain the heat. And yes, I have read the instructions and yes, the thermostat is to work this way, but doesn't. Why is this happening on the 2 I bought and the one we tried in Wallyworld?? Who knows-did they leave a part off in the manufacturing of these units this time? Who knows!. I am totally disappointed-I heat with oil and these heaters were great to keep the oil use/high price down. They WERE great heaters

in the manual it states light may remain lit until the heater is unplugged
Posted by northernlites on 2013-01-02:
My husband and I had bought our SQH310 Sunbeam Quartz Heater about 3 months ago, at Wal-Mart also. The first 2 months or so it worked fine I was able to use the thermostat feature and all was good. Now it constantly shuts itself off. When it's not on the thermostat setting it is supposed to run continuously. It will run for maybe 5 minutes, then shut off. According to the directions you are supposed to unplug it for 30 minutes for it to reset itself. This does not help at all! I have also been wondering why that light stays on at all times unless I unplug it. I am so not happy with this heater and now question its safety since it is not performing properly.
Posted by Nancy on 2013-11-07:
I too had the older Sunbeam heater and it worked great for a few years. I had to buy a new one this year. The one that the light stays on. It stopped working today and the unplug for 30 minutes to reset didn't work. I took the heater apart, took off the front grill and turned the 2 tubes that get red around and around. Apparently they are like batteries and get oxidized or dust in them. Anyhow it is working like new again. Hope this helps someone that has this problem.

I too had the old sunbeam heater since my daughter was about two and she's now ten, I bought the new SQH310 model and it has been a terrible experience. First of all it want come on 2 however when you put it in 1 and set the temperature it only stays in for about a minute and a half. I will NEVER buy a Sunbeam product again.
Posted by Robert Robinson on 2014-03-05:
I have the same thermostat problem with my Sunbeam heater. I'll set it to 70 before I go to bed and when I wake up it can be 55 and it still won't turn itself on. I have to turn it off and back on and sometimes even then it won't "realize" that it's freezing. I emailed Sunbeam about it a year ago and they said I had to send it to them. I'm not paying for shipping to send them a product that they made defectively!

Sunbeam Electric Blankets are not good quality
Posted by Oshaman1 on 10/14/2009
This is the fourth Sunbeam electric blanket we've had in 4 years. It has dual controls and does not work properly as it does not get warm. This has happened to the other three blankets also. They work for a month or so and then "crap out"! Each time I have complained to the company and they tell me to ship it back to them - at my own cost - and they will "evaluate" it and make a decision as to whether it can be repaired, or if it is even coverd by warranty. It is only a few months old.....how can it not be covered, but....even more ....how come it does not work properly?
I sent one back already (at my own cost) and they wanted to charge me to repair it. Now...no sir....not again!
I'll never buy another Sunbeam electric Blanket, and let me tell you....."buyer beware" of this company.

I agree with you. I have to buy a new one every year. It's very disappointing
Posted by PepperElf on 2009-10-14:
i wonder what brand i have. mom gave it to me... so it was probably at least a year old before it became mine.
it's still in the cedar chest tho. personally i rarely ever used it by itself. it is always used on high, and usually with another blanket on top, to help trap the top-heat too.
it works best with my Woobie. (a military style poncho liner that's omg warm) electric blanket + woobie = awesome defense against upstate NY winter
Posted by bcd on 2009-10-14:
We purchased a Sunbeam electric blanket (dual control) three years ago. We live in Florida and only used it for two or three weeks in January 2007. When we attempted to use it again in January 2008 it was only about 30% as effective as it was a year earlier. It had a two or three-year warranty but the receipt was lost. I totally agree with this review but I don't understand why the OP purchased three more. Good review.
Posted by jktshff1 on 2009-10-14:
stupid question, but why an electric blanket anyway? Heat on, put dog in bed to warm up, kick dog out, cover up...sleep..not hard. Unless you are bouncing around enjoying yourselves and throwing blanket everywhere!! LOL!

Do you have kids bouncing on your bed? That'll do it every time.

Quartz Heater Caught Fire
Posted by Jhop on 11/15/2010
Purchased a new tower quartz heater last week, model SQH310. I had it on right before I went to bed and the top right corner of the unit caught fire... flames were coming out of the top. The unit wouldn't shut off while it was burning so I unplugged it from the wall. Called Sunbeam 888-264-9669, but all they are doing is replacing it. I asked if the unit had any problems but couldn't get an answer.
I'm glad I didn't fall asleep.

I had this happen with the plug of a Sunbeam Warming Blanket; the customer service was very willing to replace it, but they weren't to eager to admit that there might be a problem with the blanket.
Posted by RestaurantGuy on 2010-11-15:
They are offering to replace the defective product for you. What more would you like them to do for you?
Posted by MDSasquatch on 2010-11-15:
When they replaced my warming blanket, I wanted a little bit of assurance that it wouldn't happen again. Is that too much to ask?
Posted by Anonymous on 2010-11-15:
Definitely faulty. Nowadays, most things have an automatic shutoff / fail safe to prevent things like fire and overheating.
Posted by Anonymous on 2010-11-15:
New unit or not, I would be afraid to use it.
Posted by dan gordon on 2010-11-15:
I would be letting the Consumer safety commission or similar and notify them of this inciden t. Replacing the unit is nice but others may have had the same situation so contacting another agency and voice your concerns will help others.
Posted by trmn8r on 2010-11-15:
This unit has been sold for a long time now, and I found no other complaints of fire.
An electrical heating device, by its nature, has a higher degree of risk than the average appliance. Think Revlon 1875 hair dryer with sparks and flames (google it). But this heater should be more reliable than a handheld dryer.
I assume you were hoping either to get a refund or find out there is a widespread problem. My guess is you won't and it isn't.
Posted by consciousconsumer on 2010-11-17:
I believe this will be a widespread problem.
Bought my SQH310 8 months ago, used it last winter and this last week for the first time this year. Today, when I turned the power switch to the low wattage setting sparks lit up the inside compartment under the switch then caught fire.
Posted by Okieyankeegirl on 2010-12-10:
I just filed a complaint with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission regarding the near fire with my Sunbeam SQH310 heater. I'm sure they will have to do something about this heater if/when they receive enough complains. I have a second heater (we bought 2) that I'm now afraid to use for fear it too will short.
Posted by C. Spencer on 2012-01-04:
Six week old SQH310 Sunbeam quartz heater. Strong "electrical source" odor from heater and thereafter there was no difference between 750 or 1500 watt heating. It operated at 1500 regardless of setting as evidenced by heat output and the brighter orange color of quartz tubes. At 750 setting the tubes did not glow as brightly. Called Sunbeam and first lady gave me run-around and told me I didn't know how it operated, etc, and that nothing was wrong with it. I knew better! Asked to speak to her supervisor and when I told the supervisor the problem she immediately offered a no cost Holmes heater replacement w/ same 750/1500 watt rating and did not want the Sunbeam heater returned.....kind of tells me there is a manufacturing defect they would rather not admit or deal with, but wanted to have it quietly go away.

Faulty Product
Posted by Joe123 on 01/30/2006
WICHITA, KANSAS -- I purchased a Mr. Coffee Coffeemaker, Mdl ESX33 on August 3, 2005 to replace a Mr. Coffee coffeemaker Cat No. DCM 180AWH that I had for over 15 years.
The new product although it look nice was a piece of crap and I should have returned it within the week, but I did not. The problems I had with this coffeemaker were:
1. Would not turn off automatically in two hours as stated in the users manual,
2. It was almost impossible to pour liquid from the "drip-free" decanter without having the liquid run down the side of the decanter;
3. The "brew basket" would not stay shut and opened some when the machine started up. Today the "brew basket" opened enough to cause the hot liquid and coffee grounds to spill all over the counter top.
Mr. Coffee use to be a good product, and I have used this product for over 30 years with two different Mr. Coffee brewers, both the same model that operated without any problems. The last one which started to leak after 16 years was replaced with the ESX33 model. That was a mistake.
I will not use this new model any more and it will be designated to the trash after 6 months of use. I will not purchase a Sunbeam Product again to show my total dissatisfaction with the crap that Sunbeam is making.
My recommendation for anyone considering purchasing the Sunbeam Product "Mr Coffee" coffeemaker is NOT TO DO SO.

Maybe you just got a bad one, Joe. There's a defected unit or two in every so many shippments. If you want to get a quality coffee maker that isn't Sunbeam...try Krupps. They're very well made.
Posted by spiderman2 on 2006-01-30:
A few years back I bought a Mr. Coffee that was just terrible. Water sloshed out the back because the overflow hole was too low and the basket didn't stay in place among other issues. Unfortunately I didn't save the receipt. I contacted Mr. Coffee directly, just to let them know of the issues with that particular model (not asking for anything because I had no receipt for it) and they sent me a brand new, different model coffee pot that has worked wonderfully ever since.
Posted by Ponie on 2006-01-30:
I've had a couple of Mr. Coffee's in the past. In fact one that's about 20 yrs. old is back in the box as a 'just in case' coffeemaker. Only reason I ever put them out to pasture is I wanted to upgrade. Now you can't make me part with my HB Brewmaster. But if it goes, I've got my spare Mr. Coffee to carry me over until I get a new coffeemaker.
Posted by Mad Eye Moody on 2006-01-30:
I've had the Krupps Coffee Maker for almost seven years. Granted, that's not THAT long...but I've left it on all day numerous times and it's taken some beatings and it's still kickin out the mud.
Posted by ejack053824 on 2006-01-30:
I have a Bunn coffeemaker thats lasted 19 years...was given to me by my father. Its still kicking ass!

We just got a Cuisinart that grinds the coffee then brews it all in the pot :) wonderful yes. Will it last more than a year? I doubt it.

Quality Control
Posted by Steff on 01/23/2005
HENDERSON, NORTH CAROLINA -- Since September 2004, we have had three different NEW Sunbeam Queen Size Mattress Warming Pads. The first one lasted about 5 weeks, then one side of the pad ceased heating. The seller replaced the pad, but within three weeks, again one side (not the same one as the first)failed to heat. The seller again requested that the unit be replaced. This was done and this time, the pad lasted 4 days then it failed totally, nothing would work. Previously, about 4 years ago, we purchased the warming pads for all our beds (3), for our daughter's family (2) and my wife's parents (1). All of these with the exception of one, are still working as though they were brand new. So something has declined in the quality of materials being used in the construction of the pads.
When we replaced the defective one for the fourth time, we purchased a warming pad made by another manufacturer and it has been working perfectly now for over a month, so it is not something that is happening when we get it home.

Heater a fire hazard
Posted by Okieyankeegirl on 12/10/2010
We run the Sunbeam heater to take the chill off the master bedroom and have owned it almost a year without any problems. Last night about 3 minutes after I started the heater, I smelled the distinct burnt electrical odor but didn't see any smoke. Out of fear of a fire I turned off, unplugged and transported the heater into an area that had no combustibles. My husband removed the casing and found that the wiring around the switch was burned. I'm glad I was awake and not asleep when the unit shorted.

Quick action may have saved your house and life. Wonder why the breakers did not trip when the unit shorted out?
Posted by Venice09 on 2010-12-10:
Smart and quick thinking on your part. You really should let Sunbeam know about this. Thanks for the heads-up on this model.
Posted by trmn8r on 2010-12-10:
This is not uncommon with portable electric heaters, so much so that as I read the letter I anticipated it was the switch before you stated it.
The problem is likely the switch contacts failed - they made intermittent contact. The resistance and current being drawn caused them to heat and melt the body of the switch. Electricity can do nasty things.
Posted by bcd on 2010-12-11:
A circuit breaker trips when the load attempts to draw current (measured in amps) above the rating of the breaker. A device does not draw excessive current when electricity arcs at the contacts of a switch. There never was an electrical short.
Space heaters should not be used while sleeping.
Posted by trmn8r on 2010-12-11:
Correct, bcd, a circuit breaker won't help here. I forgot to mention that. And you are correct - using a space heater while sleeping is asking for a problematic wake-up call.
Posted by natb1 on 2012-11-29:
I have owned a lot of sunbeam space heaters. They generally dont last more than 1 season. Some fail within a month. I keep getting sucked in by the $15 price tag. BTW...you would think a ceramic type heater would be "safe" compaired to standard heating elements. I do run my ceramic at night, keeping them AWAY from ANY combustibles. I even place them on a spare piece of ceramic floor tile. I own 2 traditional heating element types, also made by Sunbeam. They both have failing themostatic switches which open and close rapidly, causing steady pulsing of surge currents. This caused the lights in the house to "flicker". Traditional heating elements all have significant surge currents when FIRST engergized because they have very LOW "off/cold" resistance. I had one ceramic type fail where half the element burned up, while the other half was putting out heat. I dont know if ceramics fail so quickly because of their "nature" or if its just crappy Sunbeam?
Yes....you can start a fire with LOW electrical current. Circuit breakers DO NOT protect against electrical fires caused by "shorting" equipment.

"trmn8r on 2010-12-10", Exactly, I had the same situation. Very scary. Very cheap on/off/1/2 switch.

Heating Pad Burned a Lazyboy Chair
Posted by Renfrewite on 03/29/2007
PETAWAWA -- My mother-in-law recently bought a Sunbeam heating pad that adhears to your body that is suppose to have an automatic shut off after 2 hours. Well this is the very first time my father-in-law used it and it was left sitting on his lazyboy chair and it didn't shut off. After about 6 hours my mother-in-law smelled something buring and went to investigate in the living room. The top of the heating pad was burnt as was the chair and it was only set at medium setting, can you imagine how hot high setting is? I took pictures of both the heating pad and the chair and I still have the receipt. I wrote to the company last week with no reply from then and then again today, so we will see if they reply back. There is no email address to send the photos to and I asked for one so they could see the damage the heating pad did. If no one had been home the whole house would have burned down. I say either Sunbeam starts making quality and safe products or they should be shut down for good. I will never ever buy a sunbeam product!!

My guess is that there are probably a list of precautions included with the heating pad.
Like...CAUTION. Heating pad will get HOT. Or, don't leave heating pad on and unattended.
Of course, nobody ever reads them.
Posted by rhondam718732 on 2007-03-30:
Robf I'm sure you're right but since a heating pad is designed to be placed on skin, it shouldn't burn through fabrics!
Posted by Sparticus on 2007-03-30:
I'm always fearful of those things when I use them at night and fall asleep... they do get pretty hot... but to actually burn through some fabric... that is a bit too hot... unless it was buried under something that trapped the heat... but it sounds like it was just sitting on the chair.
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-03-30:
Try going to your local fire department for some help. If you can get them on your side Sunbeam will take notice as they do not want the bad press if it makes the news. See if you can get the fire department to write up an incident report so you will have something in writing.
Posted by MRM on 2007-03-30:
Defintely send Sunbeam the pictures of the burnt blanket and the incident report from the fire dept, and they may respond back to you
Posted by poppapia on 2007-03-30:
Give them a little more time. One week isn't long enough for the company to investigate.

I have a friend whose mother being a diabetic had little feeling in her feet. She put a heating pad on her feet and it burned her. I don't know how long she had it on - probably a long time. She had to have her foot amputated.
Posted by Shakra on 2007-03-30:
As a diabetic, you are told to never use heating pads. I don't know what she was thinking. It's for that very reason that she wasn't supposed to use one.
Sparticus, I hope you are kidding about falling asleep with the heating pad on at night. Otherwise, Robf is correct about people not reading the warnings.
Also, no one should use a heating pad more than 20-30 min. at a time. I wonder why they have a two hour shut off time. That's just dangerous.
Posted by Renfrewite on 2007-04-03:
I have a contact phone number for sunbeam in case anyone wants to contact them. 1-877-327-0016. They called me today but I wasn't home so they will be calling me tomorrow, I will let everyone know the outcome.
Don't forget it was only set on medium setting and was suppose to shut off after 2 hours and didn't.
Posted by Renfrewite on 2007-04-03:
And in reply to Robf, yes there is cautions printed on the label, but it says nothing about leaving it on unattended (it's suppose to shut off automatically) And says nothing about getting so hot it will burn through fabric, especially only on the medium setting.

I purchased a Sunbeam electric heating pad. I hadn't noticed that it had been made in China or I wouldn't have purchased it. The cord is so stiff I can barely wind it up for storage and it has overheated to the point that I had to toss it out. I'll never purchased another item from Sunbeam again. ..it used to be a good company but not anymore.mh
Posted by Timi Headley on 2011-06-10:
I also have the same problem!!! I bought a Sunbeam heating pad at Walmart. I set it on L with the two hour timer. I sat on the couch with it on my back because I have deep joint pain from Lupus. I ended up with a large blister at least 1 inch across and a bit deep.
I went back to Walmart and bought first aid supplies. Then I stood in line and returned the heating pad and chose a new (Sunbeam) heating pad thinking that maybe it was just a fluke because the timer didn't shut it off!
So, then I was on my 2nd Sunbeam heating pad from Walmart. I set it to Low on the two hour timer again. I received another blister on my back from the 2nd heating pad. When I returned this one to Walmart I asked for a refund and I asked to speak to the manager of the store thinking that he would likely pull them from the shelf for liability reasons and send them back to Sunbeam for a refund on THEIR purchase. The manager treated me terribly. Because of that, I offered to let him see the burns on my back. They weren't in a spot that would compromise my dignity AT ALL! He was rude and said that he didn't want to see my back but he yelled those words at me!
Because of that manager and because I thought they should know so they could protect other people by changing their product, I called the Sunbeam manufacturer! I asked them to refund my costs for the first aid supplies and the third heating pad I would have to buy. They asked for pictures and copies of my detailed receipts. I did what they asked and I DID receive that refund from them.
I went to WALGREENS for a 3rd heating pad! I chose the Dry/Moist optional pad w/2hour Timer! However, I HAD TO choose a Sunbeam pad because that was the ONLY ONE they carried!!! Yesterday I woke to a 2nd or 3rd degree burn on my hand. It's a circular burn bubble that popped yesterday with the skin coming off it as well and it has a 2nd layer of blister with a 3rd layer of blisters even other those!!! I don't know if I'll be able to get it healed before it becomes infected!
The only thing I want is for these pads to stop burning people. I am not a person who jumps the band-wagon and sues people! I am NOT sue-happy! Were I sue-happy I'd have done that instead of calling Sunbeam about the 2nd burns!
I called a personal injury/faulty product injury attorney today! They told me to Goole and Yahoo etc. search this under every thing I could think of. I entered Sunbeam Heating Pad Burn and there were so many hits that I couldn't believe my eyes!!! Why is there no class action suit about this?
Posted by Rhonda on 2012-01-06:
It is unimaginable that someone could burn so bad (2nd or 3rd degree burns) without knowing they were being burned! And if it burned that bad, it shouldn't take overnight to find out it occurred. The 2-hour shut-off is for those who forget and leave it on. NO ONE should apply heat (or cold) to their body for more than 20 minutes at a time. According to my physician and physical therapist, you can do 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off, but you shouldn't do it for 2 hours straight.

I was using my Sunbeam heating pad on Nov 10 2012 when the control unit "popped" and "flashed" leaving my left hand black, a hole in my comforter and black on the control unit. I was able to put water on the comforter - avoiding a possible fire - washed as much of the "black" off my hand and noticed a slight burn down the side of my little finger.
Product: King Size pad - 17" X 24"
Model # 7640403
Purchased: approx 1yr ago - unfortunately I cannot locate the receipt.
The comforter was received as a gift last Christmas therefor I do not have a receipt for the cost of the item. I have taken photos of the damage/injury however I cannot get in contact with anyone to complain to the company which is "handled" by Jarden Consumer Solutions.

Heating Pad Leaves Scar
Posted by Homeshop2u on 10/01/2012
Sunbeam heating pad is suppose to have a 2 hour shut-off, but this product burned a hole in my back the size of a nickel. I sent two letters concerning my burn, but felt brushed off by their representatives, one even stating, "Our lawyers only speak with other lawyers." So I contacted a lawyer. Unfortunately he told me that Sunbeam is under so much litigation now, it would take a long time to get to court. Also they will wrap lawyers and individuals up in so much court fees (filing, requiring specialists, etc), it wouldn't be worth money or time.
What type of justice is this in our country when large corporations can force consumers into financial ruin just to get justice?

You should be able to locate an attorney that would take this issue on a "contingency" basis if you have a good case. This is normally no up front money from you, but they will take a percentage of any award you may receive (around 1/3 of the award) and if they lose you owe nothing.
Posted by melissa253 on 2012-10-02:
My question is and may as well be Sunbeam's question: When you felt the heating pad getting too hot for you, why didn't you turn it off/remove it from your body?

They probably fell asleep with it on, which most owner's manuals warn against for this very reason.

410 SW Broadway, Portland, OR | Directions 9720545.521300 -122.678500
Not great, only OK. – Took my parents out to dinner to the Typhoon on Broadway. As it was raining outside, we rushed into the restaurant. Even though it was during dinner hours, the restaurant was not busy. The two hostess at the counter just looked at us and didn't even bother to greet us. I had to look over at them for good 30 seconds before one of them said hello, yet didn't bother to ask us anything else. I was the one who had to ASK if we could get a table for four.
After being seated, our waiter was nice, but didn't smile at all throughout dinner service. The food was "okay." My mom kept complaining how all the four dishes we ordered were too salty. We ended up asking for another bowl of white rice, in order to balance out the saltiness of the the dishes. At the end of the night, of the four of us, we only finished about half of what we ordered. Nothing special about the Three Flavored Halibut, and the King's Noodles was just drowned in what seems like oyster sauce.
I'd say, skip Typhoon. Presentation was nice, but overpriced for food that was only OK, and had no authentic taste. I think I'll stick to Thai Ginger in N. Portland, where I've been going to for years.
I am embarrased for them! – Just got our order from the Delivery service, Tom Kha and Tom Yum-What an insult! The Coconut soup was just coconut milk with tons of salt and some over boiled chicken-Nothing else AT ALL in the way of traditional seasonings.The Tom Yum just had grainy shrimp and a few floating mushrooms-No Ginger, Lemon Grass,etc and no spice at all-The broth tasted like chicken soup. True, we did order Medium since when we get our Thai food closer in at a little Thai place medium is kickin' hot! I spent most of the time adding my own curry spices and Tom Yum mix to try to make it taste better but ended up throwing it all away because the salt was way too strong. Been to Thailand many times and sort of in the know... Typhoon, what happened to you? We just went to Bo Restobar a week ago and the food was equally awfull (drinks great as well as service)-And when I asked what happened to the fabulous menu they said they had to separate themselves from Typhoon-Wonder why? Perhaps that Oregonian article said it all...Geez, just wanted some good Thai and watch a movie at home...
zero for two meals- DO NOT EAT HERE! – I've never written a review for a restaurant, let alone a negative review.. an experience has to be particularly traumatic for me to be driven to write a poor review about it online. If they had a 'negative stars' option, that would've been it.
We went to this restaurant because it was next door to our friend's hotel on Broadway, and because they had a separate vegan menu.
Both of our "vegan" dishes, ordered from their separate menu, came out with animal products in them. The first was obviously full of chicken and we sent it back. By the time they had brought out a replacement, we'd realized the other dish we had already started eating had egg in it. Nothing was taken off the bill. We were pretty disgusted and would never ever go back there again.
Bad service, bad atmosphere, expensive, sub-par food – Do not ever, ever go to Typhoon. The service is terrible, close to abysmal. My last trip there, I was with one other person, on a slow Wednesday night. We ordered appetizers (chicken satay that showed up after the main course, were cold, and seemed to have been sitting there for a while), and two main courses (I had green curry, it was alright but the beef had the feel of shoe leather, and it was also cold). Our drinks took almost 20 minutes to come out (and tasted like they'd been filtered through an ashtray). The food is overpriced, and the quality is beyond poor. I once even found aphids in a salad. The cleanliness definitely leaves something to be desired as well. Finally, I've heard (but cannot confirm) they seem to be in yet another legal battle over labor law violations, so I can only imagine why their waitstaff doesn't care. Strange side-note, I used to work right around the restaurant on broadway, and I saw one of their old bartender's being put into the back of a police car earlier this year, not too sure what that's about. So, if you want Thai food, try one of the hundreds of Thai restaurants in Portland, but please leave Typhoon alone.
OverPriced and Under-Authentic, or: How to be an Americanized Thai Restaurant – "From humble beginnings on Northwest 23rd, Chef Bo Kline and Typhoon! have become icons of the Northwest food scene. "
If I'm not mistaken, it was their downtown location that was there first. So, they are lying about their "humble beginnings".
dont get me wrong, the food is good... But, its not that great. Ive had better food and service from Arawan Thai Cuisine on 82nd and Johnson Creek.
In short, if you like overpriced, overly pretentious settings to impress your out of town friends by the amount you can charge to your corporate account, this is the place for you! If you like real Thai Food cooked by real Thai people I would suggest the afformentioned Arawan restaurant or, for really great authentic food, go to Mai Thai on Belmont/30th.
After all, its your hard earned money that your wasting to support downtown/northwest rents!
Our 23rd location was the first location... it started in December 2005. I'm sorry if your expierence at Typhoon wasn't that great. We appreciate your business and hope you will come back.
The Typhoon! Team
Beautiful presentation, but flavors were just okay. – After seeing their TV commercial and hearing them mention the finest ingredients used in their cooking, I wanted to give Typhoon! a try. The restaurant is very elegant and the lighting is relaxing. I ordered Pad Thai and it came to me in a very nice presentation. However, the flavors were bland and the consistency was not to my liking - kind of on the goopy and pasty side. You may be paying for the finer ingredients and presentation, but that's about it. I probably will not go back unless I'm with a group who chooses Typhoon! unanimously.
GREAT FOOD! – I love the food at this place! The restaurant is beautiful and the food is always fabulous! I'm super picky and they always get my very strange orders correct. Love it!
High prices, Inconsistant food, really small portions and okay staff – I love Thia food and have eaten at Typhoon many times. The food is sometimes good and sometimes just "okay". The spicy green beans are yummy, the yellow curry is good. Make sure you specify what veggies you do not like if you order the spicy veggie w/ crispy basil (it comes with fried tofu and many veggies like 2 kinds of mushrooms (and lots of them), baby corns, cauliflower, brocolli, green beans etc..)) Cashew Nut Chic is okay and you have to order and pay for rice as it does not come with your meal. The Atmosphere is neat, trendy and new and they are right on broadway so location is nice.
very interpersonal... – I heard about Typhoon! through a friend who's husband loves to eat at during lunch. We both decided to go there last night and give it a try. We called about two hours ahead for a reservation, I know not a very good timing, but they said that they would be able to accomodate us. Right when we get in there the host went to go set up our table and then seated us all the while talking to us as if we knew eachother. LOVED it, felt like I was with people who were enjoying themselves versus just wanting to get the job done. After we were seated, our server came to check if everything was okay (our drinks were already there when we got there). We asked many questions about the food and he was VERY patient and telling us his honest opinion on what we probably wouldn't like. We order our dishes and they come out approx. 12 minutes later, for a full house i'd say thats pretty fast. For the price were paying, it doesn't look like your getting a big amount of food, but as I was eating I became more then full and the food was amazing. I could taste all the sauces that they used and the spicy-ness was fantastic. Speaking as a native thai, some of the dishes were a bit up in the air and not very thai, but if you know what to choose, completely delightful. In the end the price was worth way more then what we paid, it wasn't just the food, it was the service, how they talked to us as if we were regulars'. On our way out we had 4, read it again, 4 different workers say "Thank You, have a great night" now I know I should have been the one to say thank you, they were great. Definately going to go back. This time, i might even call a day ahead for a reservation instead.
lunchtime gone.... – I work near this restaurant and had thought it would be fun to order thai and take out to eat on the Square in the sunshine, so called a good 45 minutes in advance to be sure to have it ready by the time my lunch came around (and told them so). I came in exactly as planned, but nothing. They went into the kitchen to check on it, nothing. when they came back to the front reception area, they asked me what I needed again- even though it was exactly the same person I talked to 5 minutes ago.... "Oh yeah, let me check on it".... Again gone for 5 minutes. Long story short, it took me my entire lunch break to get the food (over an hour and a half since my initial order by phone!!!) so I didn't even get to eat as I planned. Sure, I could have said "forget this" but I wanted to be reasonable and patient- I know better now and will NEVER bother giving them my business in the future. Sorry, your mediocre food is not worth that kind of wait!

By CALVIN WOODWARD The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Anyone who paid attention to a hearing in Congress this week knew that the administration had been implored to beef up security at the U.S. Consulate in Libya before the deadly terrorist attack there. But in the vice presidential debate Thursday night, Joe Biden seemed unaware.
Vice President Joe Biden and Republican vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., shake hands before the start of the vice presidential debate at Centre College in Danville, Ky., on Thursday night.
The Associated Press
Republican Mitt Romney has opened a large, 7 percentage-point lead over President Obama in must-win Florida, according to a new poll of likely voters conducted for The Miami Herald and the Tampa Bay Times.
Romney's 51 percent to 44 percent advantage is just on the cusp of the poll's error margin – and it marks a dramatic 8-point shift since last month.
"Obama's now swimming upstream," said Brad Coker, pollster with Mason Dixon Polling & Research, which conducted the survey of 800 likely Florida voters this month and last for the Herald and its news partners, including Bay News 9 and Central Florida News 13.
The previous poll, which showed Obama with an inside-the-error-margin lead, was before last week's debate when Obama gave a lackluster performance while Romney appeared to excel. This latest poll showed that 5 percent of those who said they were undecided before the debate say they will vote for Romney. And 4 percent of those who said they favored Obama pre-debate moved away from the president – 2 percent toward Romney and 2 percent undecided.
Even Democrats were upset with Obama's performance.
"I was disappointed," said Phyllis Apple, a 90-year-old Democrat from Aventura. "He didn't look like he was ready to fight. Maybe the president thought it wouldn't look presidential."
A top political adviser to the president, David Plouffe, acknowledged that the debate was a "wakeup call" and that the race has tightened. But, he said, he believes in the campaign's message and its vast volunteer army that can turn out nontraditional voters who don't necessarily get picked up in polls such as this one.
– The Miami Herald
"We weren't told they wanted more security there," the vice president asserted flatly. During a night in which Biden and Republican rival Paul Ryan both drifted from the facts on a range of domestic and foreign issues, that was a standout.
A look at some of their claims:
BIDEN: "Well, we weren't told they wanted more security there. We did not know they wanted more security again. And by the way, at the time we were told exactly — we said exactly what the intelligence community told us that they knew. That was the assessment. And as the intelligence community changed their view, we made it clear they changed their view."
RYAN: "There were requests for more security."
THE FACTS: Ryan is right, judging by testimony from Obama administration officials at the hearing a day earlier.
Charlene R. Lamb, a deputy assistant secretary for diplomatic security, told lawmakers she refused requests for more security in Benghazi, saying the department wanted to train Libyans to protect the consulate. "Yes, sir, I said personally I would not support it," she said.
Eric Nordstrom, who was the top security official in Libya earlier this year, testified he was criticized for seeking more security. He said conversations he had with people in Washington led him to believe that it was "abundantly clear we were not going to get resources until the aftermath of an incident. How thin does the ice have to get before someone falls through?"
He said his exasperation reached a point where he told a colleague that "for me the Taliban is on the inside of the building."
RYAN: "Look at just the $90 billion in stimulus the vice president was in charge of overseeing — this $90 billion in green pork to campaign contributors and special interest groups."
THE FACTS: Dismissing an entire package of energy stimulus grants and loans as "green pork" ignores the help that was given to people to make their homes more energy efficient, grants to public entities constructing high speed rail lines and tax credits to manufacturers to install equipment fostering cleaner energy.
To be sure, there were notable failed investments, such as $528 million to the politically connected and now-bankrupt solar power company Solyndra. But Ryan's claim made it sound like every penny went down the drain.
More broadly, economists are nearly universal in saying Obama's $800 billion-plus stimulus passed in early 2009 helped create both public-sector and private-sector jobs, even if they fell short of what sponsors had hoped. Douglas Elmendorf, director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, estimated the stimulus saved or created more than 3 million jobs.
BIDEN: "We went out and rescued General Motors."
THE FACTS: Actually, the auto bailout of General Motors and Chrysler began under President George W. Bush. The Obama administration continued and expanded it.
RYAN: "And then they put this new Obamacare board in charge of cutting Medicare each and every year in ways that will lead to denied care for current seniors. This board, by the way, it's 15 people, the president's supposed to appoint them next year. And not one of them even has to have medical training."
THE FACTS: Ryan is referring to the Independent Payment Advisory Board, created under President Barack Obama's health care overhaul law. It has the power to force cuts in Medicare payments to service providers if costs rise above certain levels and Congress fails to act. But it doesn't look like the board will be cutting Medicare "each and every year," as Ryan asserts. Medicare costs are currently rising modestly and the government's own experts project the board's intervention will not be needed until 2018 and 2019 at the earliest — after Obama leaves office if re-elected to a second term.

/ Newsroom / Latest Releases / Release No. 0464.11
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28, 2011—Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced today that the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Risk Management Agency (RMA) will support crop insurance education and outreach in 47 states to ensure that small and underserved producers get the information they need to effectively manage their risk and remain productive. Awards totaling approximately $13.6 million from two RMA programs—Targeted States and the Education and Outreach programs—will support thousands of American farmers, ranchers and producers.
"Despite hardships and setbacks due to extreme weather conditions in many parts of the country, American agriculture is experiencing its strongest year overall thanks to the dedication and resilience of our farmers and ranchers," said Vilsack. "USDA is committed to diversity, inclusion and performance in everything we do, and we need to continue to ensure opportunities in agriculture for all Americans. Through these partnerships, traditionally underserved agricultural producers and those in targeted states will receive assistance in understanding and using risk management tools."
The partnerships announced today will provide farmers and ranchers access to a complete set of conferences, targeted instruction, strategies, and networking opportunities at a local level.
The Risk Management Education and Outreach Agreements program is awarding $8.5 million to fund 109 agreements. Examples include:
Under the Risk Management Targeted States program, $4,999,821 is being awarded to deliver crop insurance education and information to agricultural producers in 16 states designated as historically underserved with respect to crop insurance. These targeted states include Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
The Risk Management Education and Outreach and Targeted States programs are designed to help ensure that farmers and ranchers effectively manage their risk through difficult periods, helping to maintain America's robust food supply and the survival of small, limited resource, socially disadvantaged and other traditionally under-served farmers . RMA administers these partnership projects as well as the Federal crop insurance program, with funding and authority from the Federal Crop Insurance Act.
RMA helps producers manage their business risks through effective, market-based risk solutions. RMA's mission is to promote, support, and regulate sound risk management solutions to preserve and strengthen the economic stability of America's agricultural producers. Federal crop insurance provides support to American producers as part of the "farm safety net." A strong farm safety net is important to the vitality of American agriculture.
Complete listings of the agreements can be found on the RMA Web site at: http://www.rma.usda.gov/aboutrma/agreements/.

I'm a student at Michigan State University in East Lansing Michigan and I'm studying advertising and would like to spend my life working on campaign advertisements. I'm thinking I should find a campaign to work with this summer would be a great opportunity to get my foot in the door to the field of campaign advertisements. I've already filled out volunteer info for the Peter Hoekstra campaign and Mitt Romney campaigns but haven't heard anything back from anyone, I was always under the impression that they will take any volunteer they can and becoming a campaign volunteer was fairly simple. Is it to early in the process for them to take volunteers or whats the deal?
So what do I need to do in order to link up with a campaign? As you can imagine East Lansing is just up the street from the state capital Lansing so I would think there are opportunities literally five minutes up the street from me.
Also any word of wisdom for working in the political advertisement would be greatly appreciated. Michigan State does indeed have a great ad program but political advertisements are not really covered in the program so I feel I need to take proactive steps to get into the field.
It should be noted I'm a huge conservative with libertarian leaning. I watch Fox News many hours every day and check site such as the Drudge Report, HumanEvents.com, Townhall.com on a daily basis. I have a burning passion for small goverment and personal freedoms and think I would be a value to any campaign I'm just having trouble finding one.

What you need to know about Immunity Issues: Most allergies (or auto-immune disorders) are caused by an imbalance in your pet's immune system that leads to coughing, sneezing, sores, loss of fur, excessive licking of paws and other uncomfortable symptoms. Not to mention the frustration of watching your pet suffer.
Immune Balance is a proprietary blend which features phytosterolls – a natural form of steroids – to help your pet maintain a healthy balance in their immune system.
Why your pet needs this: This product naturally maintains the balance in your pet's immune system. The benefits are similar to using traditional steroids, but without the negative effects. From the most common seasonal or food allergy relief to rare autoimmune issues, Immune Balance supports your pet's body to keep their autoimmune issues under control. Plus there's the added bonus of fewer vet visits!
Why It Works: If you're looking for a natural, effective alternative to traditional steroids, Immune Balance makes an excellent choice. Unlike conventional medicines, which are often temporary and have negative side effects, Immune Balance offers lasting results by using the approach Mother Nature intended; a simple botanical extract derived from naturally occurring fats in soybean oil.
Available in 90 easy-to-administer capsules.
Review Rating: 4.5
Manufacturer: Only Natural Pet
Active IngredientsPhytosterols 95% (derived from non-GMO Soybean Oil) 52.6mg (Allergy Info: the sterols in this product contain NO soy allergens)
Inactive Ingredients - Gelatin (capsule), Magnesium Stearate, Rice Flour, Silicon Dioxide
Suggested Use
Dogs: 1 - 2 capsules for each 25 lbs. body weight daily.
Cats: 1/2 - 1 capsule daily.
Dosage may be increased or decreased depending upon the health of the animal. If more than one capsule is given, dose twice per day. If possible, give between meals with a low animal-fat treat or snack (tuna water, apple sauce, soy or rice milk, etc.)
Immune Balance may work best if given 1 hour before or after a meal, and when added to a treat that does not contain a high amount of animal fat (peanut butter, apple sauce, or a bit of lean meat work well).
The effectiveness of Immune Balance, as with ANY herbal or natural remedy, varies with the health of the animal. An animal being fed a high-quality diet with adequate vitamins and enzymes will respond better than an animal on a poor quality diet. Each animal's system needs support in healing from within. Please see the article What You Need to Know About Your Pet's Food for information about feeding the best quality diet.
For animal use only. Do not use if product appears tampered with. Keep product out of reach of children and pets to avoid unintended consumption. In case of accidental overdose, contact a health professional immediately.

Didn't work for us due to stomach upset
By vanessa
from oakland,ca
About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Only Natural Pet Immune Balance:
I do think that based on the rest of the reviews that this stuff works however not for our dog. My vet recommended it to us since our dog was suffering from hives, feet licking, essessive itching and other issues with possible allergies. We used 3/4 of the bottle only to have the same issue. An hour after giving the dose, he would burp, wretch, spit up food then would toss and turn trying to get comfortable. When we would go for our walk, he would obsess over grass eating. So I stopped the immune balance and all was normal stomach-wise but of course we have to find something else natural to help with his over active immune system. I'm jealous for those with success with this item.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good, but...
By Zachary Cole
from Chicago, IL
Immune balance works great for my Golden with allergies, but the downside is that the main Active Ingredient is derived from Soybeans, and soybeans give (at least ours) dogs gas... and I mean constant gas, like every ten minutes.If using, I'd recommend only one capsule, and pair it with a dog foods targeted for gastrointestinal support.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Soybean oil has such a negative connotation these days, and we don't want to draw negative attention to this product when we know the phytosterols are safe: We use GMO free soybean oil AND, after processing the soybean oil into phytosterols, there is no protein left, and so the sterols do not contain soy allergens. Meaning, a dog with a soy allergy will NOT be allergic to this product.
Great stuff

I give these pills to my dog with canned food, noticed a huge difference, less scratching, eye,ear, and skin looks and smells much better.
By BULLDOG'S MOM
from CHATTANOOGA TN
I have a 70 lb. English Bulldog that is now 5 years old. For the first 3 years, he (Pete) suffered with allergies and was always scratching and digging at his eyes and face. His muzzle and eyes were always red. We tried the expensive dog food anti-allergy formulas as well as other premium brands and they made little difference. We had him allergy tested and they couldn't pinpoint any specific cause for the allergies. We had to put an inflatable tube around his neck to keep him from scratching up his face after having to pay for multiple eye surgeries. He was ALWAYS getting ear infections. A holistic medical doctor told me to take him off of meat and put him on a vegetarian diet because he was reacting to the steroids and drugs given to the animals before they became dog food. We did that and the difference was immediate and significant. Then we heard about Only Natural Pet and tried adding the Immune Balance pills to his vegetarian diet. TREMENDOUS and immediate improvement. He has been on these now with the vegetarian diet for the last two years and is a different dog. I also put my older dog, a pug, on this as well. He fights constant eye infections because his eyes no longer produce tears. The Immune Balance pills work like a natural antibiotic for him and keep the infection under control. But you do have to be religious about keeping them on the pills to have good results. I give the 70 lb bulldog 4 pills twice daily and the 27 lb. pug 2 pills twice daily. I wrap the pills in the "duck" pill caps by Greenies so they think they are getting a treat and not being punished. And Only Natural Pet has some of the best prices on those as well. Our vet has been amazed at the difference in Pete now. YES I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!!

I would recommend this product to anyone

Product works great for my dog.She as chin acne and within two weeks you can see results.I missed a cycle of buying product and her acne came back.Soon as I started her on it again within that one to two weeks it as gone away so I know that it's the immune balance that worked on her.So much better than getting her steroid shots ever time she as a breakout.
Time Will Tell
By Dog Lover
from Columbus OH
I'm using this product in hopes of avoiding future ear infections in my 13 year old dog who evidently has seasonal allergies which ultimately end up as red inflamed ears. He's only been on them for a couple of weeks so I'm holding my breath as the leaves start to fall which usually brings on the allergies. So far so good.
Better than injections
By Weda737
from wilkesboro NC
Great for my leukemia and herpes positive cats. It keeps their Pododermatitis (swollen and painful paw pads) at bay and extending the time between those nasty steroid injections that have long term side effects and makes them feel crummy all day. Also for a young dog with Inflammatory bowel disease. Only con is that it must be fed with a low animal fat treat. Hard to administer every single day to multiple cats. Rather it were in a liquid form.
I'm a believer
By Abby's mom
from Olive Branch, MS
Someone recommended this product as he'd had good luck with his dogs. I wish I'd known about it months ago - could have saved my nearly 5-year-old GSD from all sorts of side effects from pred and anti-histamines. They worked while she was taking them, but back to scratching and breaking out when they were gone. She had some hot spots on her chest and belly and after a few weeks of IB, they were gone. She's great. Hardly scratching - and I can't believe it's because the molds have taken a holiday! (Giving her a couple of baths with the DERMagic organic skin rescue shampoo bar didn't hurt either.) I got a new bottle, just in case she has some problems down the road. The only thing that was kind of a pain was giving the IB an hour before or after a meal...had to set a timer so I'd remember to do it. But it was worth it.
Sorry it didn't work

I can't sing the praises of this product highly enough. I have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier that has had horrible problems with her feet for about 6 years. Several Vets and a Vet Dermatologist have been baffled and treated it with everything on the planet...one vet even concocted her own potion. I changed her food numerous times and started making her food. Nothing helped. The assumption is that it's allergies....but we don't really know for sure, despite years of tests and trial and error treatments and a LOT of money. She was on steroids much of the time....but they only gave her temporary relief and not always. When I started giving this to Annie I didn't have high expectations but after only a few days...with only one pill a day (she is ultra sensitive to everything) I was surprised to see improvement. I assumed that it was just a glitch but when her feet continued to get better I realized that it was actually working. Her poor raw, bloody, itchy, feet are almost completely healed....she doesn't even lick at them anymore. The last one of the many pus filled nodules is almost gone. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Annie is like a new dog.

DENVER -- Colorado Rockies right-hander Shawn Chacon on Monday was chosen National League co-Player of the Week. Chacon became the first pitcher in the history of the 11th-year franchise to earn such an honor.
Chacon allowed no earned runs 14 innings over two starts -- a 12-1 victory at
Arizona on Tuesday, and an 8-0 victory over San Diego on Sunday. In Sunday's
game, Chacon shared the shutout with relief pitcher Brian Fuentes and Jose
Jimenez, who pitched an inning apiece.
Chicago Cubs outfielder Sammy Sosa, who hit his 504th career homer on
Wednesday to tie Eddie Murray on the all-time list, was the other co-Player of the
Chacon, 25, is 3-0 with a 0.98 ERA that ranks second in the NL. In his last two
starts, Chacon has struck out eight, walked four and held hitters to a .163 batting
"He continues to make positive statements," Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said.
"He's in a good place right now, in a good rhythm."
Catcher Charles Johnson said he has been impressed by Chacon's arm and brain.
"He throws hard, and some guys that throw hard the way he does have a tendency
to overthrow. But he throws a two-seamer down in the zone and throws his
change-up to try to make you hit ground balls. He does a lot with his pitches.

Jamie Benn signs; Quick hits from Blackhawks at Stars
By Allan Muir
• Win, lose or draw, the big story in Dallas was going to be the signing of restricted free agent Jamie Benn. More accurately, his agreement to sign. That's an important distinction because the actual papers won't be inked until today, and that poses a bit of a problem. Benn is expected to practice with the team, but he's unlikely to be available for Saturday's home game against the Blues. The reason? He can't obtain his work visa until the contract is official and a same-day turnaround on a Friday isn't likely.
• The contract itself — five years, $26.25 million — is a win/win. Benn wanted shorter term and more money, but he had no real leverage to get both. So this isn't the deal he wanted, but he won a commitment that sets him up for life … and he'll still be in his prime (28) when it is finished, an ideal point at which to break the bank. The Stars have to be thrilled with both the term, which keeps him locked in for the rebuild, and the cap hit, which is lower than several recent deals for roughly comparable players like Jeff Skinner and Travis Zajac.
• The fans at the AAC were so excited by the news when it was announced midway through the second period that they probably didn't notice the odd wording that credited Tom Gagliardi and Joe Nieuwendyk with signing Benn. Obviously it's Gagliardi's money, so yes, he did the deal…but when have you ever heard put that way? It's almost always the team or the GM that gets credited with the deal. Maybe this is Gagliardi's way of trying to prop up his image in a sports landscape dominated by celebu-owners Jerry Jones and Mark Cuban.
• I'll just go ahead and say it: Kari Lehtonen might be the best goalie in the NHL right now. The big Finn was great against Detroit Tuesday night, losing his shutout bid in the final four seconds, but was even better in this loss, dominating the angles and jauntily flashing the leather. He made all the saves he was supposed to and about half a dozen that he had no right to. For the longest time it looked like his fast feet and quicker glove would be enough to steal the game, but the breaks–especially Trevor Daley's deflection of Patrick Sharp's wide shot–conspired against him. He'll have to be even better Saturday for the Stars to have a chance against St. Louis. Don't bet against him.
• Dallas' defense was in shambles all night. The couldn't control the gaps, allowing the Hawks to enter the zone at will and tee up on Lehtonen. It's a group-wide issue, but if you're making a list of the league's roughest starts, Alex Goligoski deserves consideration. Everything's a struggle for him right now.
• It'd be gracious to suggest that rust is all that's nagging Dallas captain Brenden Morrow right now and that he deserves a little time to hit his stride after not playing during the lockout. The truth of it is the 34-year-old's game went into deep decline last season and he's been even worse through four games this year. He's routinely a step behind the play, and he makes too many mental mistakes when he does have the puck. His time might be up.
• Can't say enough about the resilience of the Hawks, who came back from down 2-0. They play the game the right way, with speed, panache and puck hunger. Lots of talk in the press box about how that speed was the envy of the league, but I don't think that's all it is. Chicago looked faster as the game wore on — I'm thinking conditioning might be their secret edge right now.
• The Hawks neutralized every edge the new-look Stars had enjoyed through their first three games. They were better in the circle and they won the majority of the battles along the boards, giving them a huge edge in puck possession. They had the Stars chasing them all night, earning six power play chances and not going on the PK themselves until midway through the third.
• Patrick Kane is as fun to watch as anybody right now. When he's confident he starts to dangle and tonight the puck was on a string for him. His pass to set up Marian Hossa's OT winner was a stunner.
• I wasn't actively watching for Nick Leddy, but the 21-year-old defender played a game that commanded attention. He's always been quick, but he seemed to have an extra gear tonight. That might be a tribute to his improved positioning — he always seemed to be in the right place. Thought he made good offensive reads, too.
• It's almost too easy to take potshots at Corey Crawford, but geez could he break this pattern already. He allowed Loui Eriksson's shorty with less than a second left in the first and only a Duncan Keith crease-fishing expedition saved him from doing the exact same thing at the end of the second. It's not that he lets in goals. It's that he always seems to let them in at a moment certain to inflict the most soul-crushing pain upon his teammates and their fans. It's hard to imagine this team going into the playoffs with Crawford and Ray Emery as their tandem.
