Mother allegedly leaves her 2-year-old son unattended; she's arrested on drug charges
Nov 13, 2012 | 25 Comments
News-Register Staff
A McMinnville woman, whose 2-year-old son was found unattended and outside the residence where she was living, was arrested Monday afternoon by McMinnville police.
Sgt. Tim Symons identified her as Hope Ashley Clark, 25, of 201 S.W. Agee St., No. 14. She was charged with one count each of second-degree child neglect, endangering the welfare of a minor and frequenting a place where a controlled substance is used, in addition to two counts of possession of a controlled substance/heroin and methamphetamine. Additional charges are pending.
Clark was lodged in the Yamhill County Jail on $22,500 bail pending her arraignment at 1:20 p.m. today in circuit court.
Symons gave this account:
Officers responded about 1 p.m. to the residence and learned the toddler had been outside and unattended for about one hour. They reported that Clark was located sleeping in her apartment, and did not know where her son was.
Several tenants told police that this was not an isolated incident. They reported the child had been left outside and unattended several times during the past few months.
A search of the apartment turned up marijuana, meth, suspected heroin and drug paraphernalia. The drugs were within easy reach of the toddler who was placed in the custody of a relative by the state Department of Human Services.
Anyone with information about Clark's recent activity as it's related to this case is asked to call officer Jared Wiebold at 503-434-7307. He can also be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Could a thoughtful person really look at her and the millions like her and say "it's not big deal...its just marijuana"
We should never give up on Hope or others in her situation. We should do all we can to help. There is still "Hope" for her...
It's definitely going to shake things up. Just exactly what we need. New policies because the old ones are not working. The insurance racket is going to have to figure some things out as well.
Ask an old timer from the greatest generation if they ever thought they would live to see the day that gay marriage would be legalized and you would be consider evil if you dared to say marriage should be between a man and a woman.
It's always one gentle step after another and another and another...Better to just stay firmly rooted at the top of the stairwell.
And those that want to allow drugs to be used on the streets, purchased in special stores...this might be what you have coming your way in a few years.
What it really comes down to in my opinion is resonsability of majority. Is the majority of those using something gone to cause harm to others or themselves and how does that conflict with the freedoms that the constitution allows, or does it?
Thus we might apply laws such as legal limit, or can't drive under influence (something even prescription drugs) are regulated with..(Pack )..
Would YOU want someone who is HIGHT on MARIJUANA to CARE for YOUR child?
If it's leagl, there is somewhat of a "defense" yet marijuana, "natural" or not, does impair you, as a parent, a driver, a worker, a child-care or elder-care provider - in every aspect of your life.
This woman is an example of how drugs affect your ability to do the things that should be common sense - like making sure a 2-year old BABY is being cared for properly.
I'm not for the use of pot and I certainly think this parent has a lot to think about in how much she cares about her child.
Any drug - marijuana, alcohol, etc - is selfish in nature and makes the user make poor decisions - and she has an addiction. While ya'll are busy bashing Hope with her poor decisions and her addiction, think about the fact that this "baby' ya'll care so much about may read this thread years from now and see the horrible things you are calling his mother. It's a public forum - have some decency.
Talk about the drugs - the ballots - politics - the damage it causes families - but unless you know this woman and her family please do not pass judgement on her on a public forum. Yes, she was arrested. I know her well enough to know this may be a wake up call that she needed - and that she has a family that gives a damn about her and will be here with her through this to get her strong again.
You guys are like vultures - eager to sit here and point fingers while you are anonymous on the site and have probably had HORRIBLE things happen at one time or another in your past. You are raising your hands to throw stones at someone who is damaged - while you're probably no better than she.
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. (Those of you who HAVE made comments about her)
Look in the mirror. No - you probably haven't had drugs in your house - or left your child outside unattended - but I'm sure you've done things you are ashamed of, because you are HUMAN.
If you give a damn about "the baby" - stop bashing his mother. It is called COMMON DECENCY.
Did i say it was NOOOO, i said now that it is legal, that will be used as a defense, just like prescription drugs ---- I can just hear the stupid idiot when they get caught neglecting their kids or driving a car, or working a dangerous job....
but, but, it's legal! I didn't know it would be that bad, I had no idea it would turn me into an idiot, i mean, you can buy it at the store! c'mon, is anybody with me here?
....I don't care what your opinion is on the subject, this is MY opinion and I'm entitled to it as much as you are to yours!
If you don't want to be looked at. Don't put youself in a positions to have that happen.
I tell my son, if you don't want to have to explane, you better not do it....
For what it's worth, I think this article has more intent than to expose Hope...
for example one could argue. taking drugs makes one tired and not able to care for child. however one could also argue it wasn't the drug, but the choice to take them. see the difference?
I've ran across a lot of addicts in my time and usually when you give them a list what they value, they almost always pick family and yet their choice to use puts that at risk. so .. that means they value use the most. that is reality..
the hard part in my opinion is getting them to see that and not enabling them. there are plenty of programs.
woukld be one I would suggest.
I have family myself I have choosen to put aside because their choices and actions from them are not very cool. I would much rather have a relationship with them but I can't tollerate the sideshow that comes with their habbits. I can only hope that someday we can all be together again. Get this, neither one of them smoke pot...

Methods For Giving Your Garden Pond A New Lease Of Life no comments
Right Choice of Plants and Aquatic Creatures
Landscaping of gardens can get a definite dimension with the addition of a water garden. Your backyard pond could go on to grab eyeballs with the right choice of plants and embellishments, to convert it into the center piece,to draw in all the compliments. A pond not only comes alive with water in it, but also derives a new character with the right choice of plants and aquatic creatures. With rock -work ,lighting , fountains and waterfalls, and above all, a careful placement and choice of plants , your pond soon discovers its new identity as a water garden.
But as in the case of any water body management, a water garden too requires a careful look at its own set of problems and its mitigation in the best possible way. Let's take a look at some of the most common issues:
- A water garden derives its real character from the plants that we choose to include in its ecosystem. Not only should the plants be hardy, but also be able to survive the climate. Therefore, finding unique and rare plants that are incapable of taking the change in the environment, is not recommended.
- It's equally important to ensure that the root systems of the plants you put in the water garden are healthy and do not have harmful weeds attached. In case you add on aquatic plants, they will to a large extent help in the survival of the fish in the pond and keep the ecology of the pond well balanced.
- While some plants you introduce in the pond will supply the much needed oxygen for the fish and other creatures and help in providing them food, but on the other hand, the cause for worry for all pond owners,is that they may also bring along the rather invasive presence of weeds. These may grow all along the shoreline of the pond and try to invade the pond from the exterior. Weeds once out of control deplete the nutrients in the water which not only harms fish but subsequently all the other plants. Shoreline weed management needs to be tackled not only in a timely manner but also effectively,to banish any chances of it becoming an infestation. In fact, there are a number of weeds which look rather harmless and even attractive, but multiply monstrously to not only takeover the pond but harm all other lifeforms in it. As the weed grows, its roots choke the base of the pond and kill roots of the aquatic plants. Soon they cover the surface of the water cutting out sunlight and inhibiting the circulation of water.
Methods Of Weed Control
Weeds happen to grow at a pace that makes them go out of control very soon. Prompt and informed action is necessary to keep them at bay. The simple method of identification, removal and residual cleanup, after the action will ensure that its reappearance is also limited. It is quite easy to find varieties of products to aid in weed removal and control ranging from liquid herbicides to the granular variety. What is important is to note the method of usage which depends on the potency of the herbicide, the size of the water body and the area that needs to be treated. You may need to either do a basic spot reduction of weed or may have to carry out extensive de-weeding , whatever the need, choosing the right kind and the right potency of the herbicide specific to the weed is of great importance. One has to take care not to harm the fish life or the harmless microorganisms that maintain pond ecology. The follow up action is of equal relevance or the debris goes on to create siltation and choking of the roots of the other plants. Chemical treatments must be strictly in accordance with the application mentioned on the label. If you need a detailed list of which herbicides are needed for which plants you can download a free PDF at http://www.livingwateraeration.com.
Steps To Make Your Garden Pond A Safe Haven
It's imperative that you maintain the balance between fish and plant life in the pond using an aeration mechanism to circulate oxygen. This will prevent siltation at the base ,and will make the water more clear. Apart from that , the stones and rocks you may have used for beautification won't gather any moss. Using filters in pumps will give it durability and control the algae far better.
Adding a water fall or a small tiered fountain brings in natural aeration apart from providing visual appeal. It also provides the necessary oxygen and keeps the water clarity high. Another way to add oxygen to the pond is with a pond aeration system. Aerators for ponds are bar none the most effective and efficient way keep healthy levels of oxygen in your pond or water garden.
Keeping fish would go a long way in making your pond attractive, as well as keep the mosquito population at bay .
Do consider using pebbles and lighting of any kind to highlight the features of your pond. Adding day or night blooming lily to lotus, some plants that float and others that are completely submerged , would require some from of lighting to bring on its unique beauty at night.
With timely intervention to safeguard the pond's ecological balance, a few basic innovative ideas to beautify it, your pond will merge the focal point of your garden and provide you will hours of pleasure and satisfaction.

As soon as the Colorado winter hit, Christensen began making icicles – around 4,000 to 8,000 daily! By building up the icicles, the artist made the castles' ornate ten foot walls and stunning 40 foot towers. Over three million gallons of water and melted snow were funneled and pumped through an on-site system similar to a sprinkler to create the ice structure.
As the water spouts out of the PVC sprinkler heads, it freezes into smooth, fan-like pieces. The fan pieces are the basis of the icicles used in construction. Larger columns are made by hanging the PVC pipes higher and pumping a higher volume of water through to freeze. More and more icicles are created and joined to the support structure with water. The entire castle is freestanding, with no wooden or metal supports – it's all ice.
Christensen has embedded 200 compact fluorescent bulbs into the building to create an ethereal experience. When illuminated, they cast 350,000 lumens of light in misty blues and greens, which make the castle glitter with light.
Visitors are welcome to wander the icy labyrinth by day or by night. The ice walkways are maintained daily – they're cleared and leveled so that guests can safely explore the installation. As the season passes, the Ice Castle at Silverthorne changes, melts, and grows, making it a site to witness again and again.

Debate: What Good Are Planetary Boundaries?
Bob Lalasz is director of science communications for The Nature Conservancy.
Does Earth have limits — limits to how far we can push its natural systems and deplete its resources, beyond which we will incur major blowback?
Almost every environmentalist would answer "yes" — and have pugnaciously strong opinions about what we should do (or stop doing) to avoid crossing them. But what does science tell us about those limits? Which are really science-based? Can innovation can stretch any of them? Are they useful for motivating policymaking and behavior change?
A world-class panel of scientists grappled with these questions last Thursday's during "The Limits of the Planet: A Debate" — the final forum in this year's "Nature and Our Future" discussion series, sponsored by The Nature Conservancy and held at The New York Academy of Sciences headquarters in lower Manhattan.
The major disagreements of the evening came over whether outlining global limits for the stable functioning of nature (as opposed to tipping points for individual ecosystems) is good science — and whether "limits" are the correct approach to achieving environmental goals. On this point, not everyone was in the Bill McKibben/350.org camp.
"The evidence is incontrovertible that there are local tipping points — for coral reefs, for instance– but not so for global ones," said Erle Ellis, a panelist and associate professor of geography and environmental systems at the University of Baltimore, Maryland County. "It's not a runaway train. Ecosystems change, but it's not a domino effect. You can change all the systems on the planet. But does that constitute a global tipping point?"

What I dont understand is for healing there making it a little bit less face roll, healers will have to carefully select which heal to use, much like in TBC days with the downranking system.
As for tanking there saying dungeons will be less AoE faceroll, and threat wont just be handed out with Misdirection and Tricks. Meaning tanks will actually have to be good at generating threat, and DPS need to be good at CCing and not breaking it.
Now I'm all over it, but wouldn't this make the game too hard for all the bads they seem to cater to?

2013 Volvo S60 T5 AWD
by Dan Roth (RSS feed) on Sep 20th, 2012 at 2:59PM
The Volvo S60 T5 with all-wheel drive struck us as a whole 'lotta Euro sedan for the money the first time we tried out this new-for-2013 powertrain combination. There are several fans of the offbeat and Swedish on the Autoblog team, me among them, and this $38,170-as-tested (including $895 destination) S60 has a fjord-load of style and comfort that you'll pay a lot more for in some other Euro-brand showroom. Driving Notes The T5 AWD is the sweet-spot for the S60. It's not underpowered, yet it's still efficient, and it comes well-equipped with all-wheel drive for a price that's way... Read More

The brazen defiance of the North Korean regime is stunning. It's a performance that carries a strong message for the West and regimes that are contemplating the possibility of starting nuclear programs of their own.
It may be tempting to dismiss the importance of the launch since the rocket failed to go into orbit and disintegrated after liftoff. But North Korea succeeded in defying the world and managed to carry out an important test of its missile program.
Those who are paying attention to the unfolding drama in the Korean Peninsula include the leaders of Iran and those trying to stop Iran's nuclear ambition. Pyongyang's decision comes at a time when the West is preparing for new talks with Iran.
At the end of February, North Korea made an agreement with Washington to stop all missile tests and uranium enrichment in exchange for the United States to deliver 240,000 tons of food. (While the regime cannot feed its people, the budget for new launching pads, rockets and a huge military has not run out.)
Now Pyongyang has broken its word. It is claiming that launching a satellite into space is not a military test, so it does not violate the international agreement; rather, the event was meant to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of its founder and "Eternal President," Kim Il Sung. But that explanation persuades no one.
The United States and its allies warned North Korea to stop the launch, saying plainly, "Don't do it." President Barack Obama, in a thinly veiled message to Pyongyang and also to Tehran, warned that "treaties are binding. Rules will be enforced. And violations will have consequences."
It's not clear what those consequences might be. The U.S. says it will not deliver the food aid agreed to in February, but that further punishes a population living in misery. The true consequences of obtaining nuclear weapons, as North Korea has done, are becoming increasingly clear.
The North Korean dictatorship may just be the most brutal regime on earth, imprisoning, starving and isolating its people. Despite its self-acknowledged "responsibility to protect" victims of state power, the rest of the world tiptoes around the atrocities, afraid to provoke the unpredictable regime because it has a nuclear arsenal.
What the latest missile launch may be is a propaganda campaign, a show of force to consolidate power by Kim Jong Un, who took power in December after the death of his father, Kim Jong Il. The Kims have ruled North Korea since its founding after World War II.
Since North Korea tested its first nuclear weapon in 2006, the country has become more of a threat to the region and the world. It has used extortion, manipulation and intimidation against its neighbors and against the United States. It has killed, kidnapped and terrorized those in neighboring countries. And it has become a provider of nuclear technology to dangerous regimes.
In May 2010, it fired a torpedo that sank a South Korean submarine, killing 46 sailors. South Korea, a strong ally of the United States, responded with a trade embargo. Six month later, the residents of the small South Korean island of Yeonpyeong fled in terror as the North fired 130 artillery shells. The attack killed no one but caused widespread panic. North Korea's nuclear and missile tests have also put Japan on edge more than once. Today, Japan seems like it is preparing for war as it awaits the latest missile launch.
And according to a leaked report from the United Nations, North Korea has become a supplier to the nuclear programs of Iran, Syria and Burma. In 2008, videos of North Korean workers inside a mysterious plant in Syria added to suspicions and helped convince Israel that Syria was building a nuclear reactor to produce weapons-grade plutonium. The reactor was later destroyed by Israel.
Because North Korea obtained nuclear weapons, its erratic behavior and appalling actions have become almost impossible to stop. That reality has come with a terrible cost to the suffering people of its people and with a price tag whose final tally in world peace is still unknown.
For a country such as Iran, the impunity that has followed North Korea's success on the nuclear pathway is an incentive not to give up its own nuclear program. For the rest of the world, it should serve as a reminder of how dangerous it would be to allow more nuclear weapons anywhere, but especially in the Middle East, the most unstable region on earth.

The Civil War has been transformed over time into a kind of holy war, depicted as an era when ordinary people put aside their individual aspirations to risk their lives for a cause greater than themselves. But they were real people facing real risk, and they reacted to their situations in decidedly human ways.
MORE SEX IN THE CIVIL WAR returns to the fertile ground of the epic conflict for a look at the way it affected society's views about sex and the behavior of individuals. Historians tell of the scores of officers who found themselves embroiled in sexual scandals, and how ignorance about sexually transmitted diseases created a public health crisis. See how pornography and prostitution were transformed into big businesses during the war. And get the stories of bawdy conquests and illicit unions directly from the diaries and letters of the people involved.
For many, the Civil War turned into a period of sexual excess and carnal indulgence, with soldiers both Blue and Grey taking refuge in back-alley brothels.

Puberty and Girls
Girls and Mood Swings
Because of the surges in hormones during puberty, many girls feel moodiness at times, especially right before their periods. This is called premenstrual syndrome (PMS). PMS may cause:
- Irritability
- Difficulty sleeping
- Fluid retention
- Anxiety
- Dietary cravings
Once your period starts, the PMS symptoms usually disappear. It's helpful to exercise during PMS and your period in order to boost your mood and help you feel your best. If your mood is lower than normal, talk to your health care provider about your feelings.
Some girls have a decrease in self-esteem and body satisfaction if they hit puberty earlier than their friends. Other girls feel different if they enter puberty later than their friends do. That's why it's important to understand what's happening in your body, and realize that every girl goes through the same changes -- some sooner, some later. But if you have not gone through puberty by age 14, including menstruating, you should see your primary health care practitioner.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel and SRT climb onto stage
by Steven J. Ewing (RSS feed) on Jan 14th, 2013 at 12:05PM
This is indeed a case of not knowing how much we wanted something until it arrived. We've been big fans of the Jeep Grand Cherokee ever since the new model arrived a couple of years ago, and while the update you see here might seem just a slight refresh, it's actually much more than that. For starters, the 2014 Grand Cherokee marks the return of a diesel model here in the States, with Chrysler's new 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 under the hood, churning out 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Of course, all of the Grand Cherokee's usual... Read More

Dyson DC 41 Vacuum Does Is Not Recommended for Use on Many of Shaw and Karastan's (Mohawk) Carpets
Posted by
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS -- On 5/21/2013 I wrote this to Dyson via their website
Dear Customer Support Agent;
We heard the advertisements addressing the Dyson DC 41. We donated our Hoover and bought the Dyson. It is lighter and seemed relatively effective on pet hair on my 20 year old carpeting (Cabin Craft Nylon)
Today I went and picked out new carpeting. To my surprise both Karastan and Shaw said not to use the Dyson on their soft carpets. Unfortunately it is these two carpet series that I like.
I feel cheated in that nothing in the Dyson brochure or users manual or in your advertisement said that Dyson vacuums are not approved by two of the largest carpet manufacturers. I would like a full refund for the Dyson (purchased at Target) so that I can purchase an "approved" vacuum sweeper from the list below. .
Standard Upright Vacuum Models
Hoover UH70120 ($100-$150)
Hoover UH70205 ($150-$200)
Hoover U5780-950 ($150-$200)
Dirt Devil UD70115 ($50-$100)
Eureka AS5203A ($50-$100)
Lightweight/No Depth Adjustment
Oreck Magnesium ($250-$300)
Oreck Magnesium RS ($450-$500)
Hoover Nano UH20020W ($50-$100)
Canister Vacuum Models
Hoover Canister S3865 ($300-$350)
Oreck Quest Pro ($350-$400)

Subject: RE: Dyson DC 41
Dear Sir/Madame,
Thank you for contacting Dyson. We are sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with your Dyson product.
In regards to your inquiry, Dyson vacuums are safe for use on all flooring types including bare floors when used in accordance with the user guide for the machine. We recommend following the guidelines set forth by your carpet manufacturer with regard to their warranty coverage.
In regards to your request for a full refund, we offer a 30 day return policy on items purchased on www. Dyson. com. This includes replacements parts, tools, and machines. To get your money refunded, simply return the machine to Target and they will be happy to refund your purchase.
If you have any additional questions, contact us at questions@Dyson. com. Thank you very much for your time.
Dyson Online Support (rh)
For product support, troubleshooting videos and more visit www. Dyson. com/support
The issue is
1- Dyson is NOT SAFE to use on all flooring since it is not approved by the leading carpet manufacturers and does not have the seal of approval from CRI (Carpet Rug Institute)
2- the vacuum in question is a year old, not thirty days old
3.- CRI http://www/. carpet-rug. org/ states that an unapproved vacuum will damage the carpet (and void the warranty?)
Dyson does not mention this in any of their publications. They have misled me as a consumer and I want a refund of 4/5 of purchased price (since the vacuum is warranted for 5 years)....

FoDaddy19 on 05/22/2013:
I'd be willing to bet the Dyson will work just fine on your carpet. Anyway, I don't think it's Dyson's fault that you chose to buy carpet that apparently has an approved vacuum list, especially when you bought the carpet after the vacuum.
BigAl on 05/23/2013:
Not wanting to play the devils advocate here but why do you think a full refund on a 1 year old vacuum is fair? What Dyson was telling you is that they have no control over the warranty from a carpet manufacturer. I personally do not see how any carpet manufacturer could determine that you used a Dyson. If it makes you feel any better, read the warranty that you will get with your carpet purchase. You may be surprised how ineffective it is.
Birdie on 07/26/2013:
We own a Dyson ball multi-floor vacuum. Had new Shaw Luscious carpet installed and found that my 4 year old Dyson will not push on this carpet. There is no way to adjust the height of the roller. I contacted Dyson and went through multiple steps with them and was told not all carpet manufactures recommend them and I should have checked what vacuums where approved for the carpet. (Who does this?) The representative said the suction is too strong for my carpet. I now have a $500 vacuum that sits in the closet. I was disappointed in Dyson and the rep offered no solution except to park it. I have a year of warranty left, but not being able to use it on my carpet is not a warranty issue. Lucky my mother gave me a 30 year old Hoover that not only works great on my new carpet, but also suctions up more on my older carpet that the Dyson ever did. Hope to get more years from this old girl, when she dies I will be looking at the Hoovers.
Byron on 11/15/2013:
We recently bought a dc41,, not a good vacuum at all !! If you are going to spend 600 on a vacuum DO NOT GET A DYSON !! Don't have time to list all the problems with the vacuum and customer service. I will never own another one
TLWiz on 02/19/2014:
I have not used Dysons since I think they are overpriced plastic things with bad reviews but quite a few of the vacuums on the "approved" list are really crappy ineffective vacuums.

Wow, That Was Fast!
Posted by
A couple of weeks ago, I got the crazy idea to clean my house. I managed to get my room cleaned and vacuumed, then I started on Baby Clutzy Deux's room. I started the vacuum up, but I noticed that the roller brush wasn't rolling. I pressed the on and off button and got no response. I checked the brush for obstructions, broken belt, etc and everything was fine. So I called the customer service line. After some over the phone troubleshooting, the representative decided it needed to be taken in for repair. Fortunately Dyson gives all of its vacuums a 5 year warranty and mine is only 2 years old. I had two options. The first was to take it to the local Sears to see if they could fix it (insert blood-curdling scream here) or take it to the Dyson store about 45 minutes from my house. Fearing that I would never see my poor Animal again if I took it to Sears (and I told the representative so), I dropped it off at the Dyson store approximately 10 days after my phone call.
At the store, the salesperson asked if Friday was soon enough to get it back to me (this was Wednesday, mind you). I told him that was fine and the girls and I left (it actually took me longer to get them out of the car and situated than it did to drop off the vacuum.
The following day, as I was driving home from work, my phone rang. It was the Dyson store calling to tell me that my vacuum was ready to be picked up at my earliest convenience. Wow, a less than 24 hour turnaround for a repair? Since I was already 2/3 of the way home, I stopped off the following day and picked it up. As it turned out, the on/off switch for the roller brush went bad, so it was fixed. Now my vacuum will hopefully work great for many more years.

Over-Rated Product, Horrible Customer Service
Posted by
MyDyson sucks
CARLYLE, ILLINOIS -- My husband purchased my DC25 at a Loew's store as a Christmas gift in December 2008. I immediately went on-line to register my vacuum.
At first the vacuum worked great though the hose IS very stiff and awkward to use. Last month I noticed the vacuum lost suction and the button to engage the beater brush wasn't working. This means your roller brush won't work.
I e-mailed the company. They e-mailed me back saying I should call them. I had my son call for me and what follows is bizarre and unsettling. The phone service tech told my son that we were not registered! He also told my son that because we did not register our warranty could not be honored. Folks, my warranty documents which came with the vacuum specify that as long as you have your receipt verifying your purchase date (and I do)you have a five year guarantee of free parts and labor. He also told my son that repair costs could go up to $100.00, maybe more but don't worry they have a cap on those charges. My son said with costs for repair that high people would just go buy another vacuum. Get this, he said, that's the best thing to do because these vacuums are so affordable compared to ones in their class!!!!!! Affordable!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!! My husband paid a little over $400.00 for my vacuum and this monkey suggests we can simply go buy a new one!!! When my son tried to call them again this week (within their suggested phone hours) no one picked up the phone. I e-mailed them again telling them this all well as the comments made by their "service rep." I have received no reply. My husband thinks this is a crooked company and I'm beginning to think so too.
Bottom line folks, save your money and buy an American made, cheap vacuum. It'll work just as well and when it goes, just dump it and save yourself the hassle of dealing with customer service reps who obviously know nothing about their product or serving anyone's needs except this greedy company.

ChuhBaca on 02/05/2010:
I'm sorry you had that experience with the company; it doesn't speak well for them. Personally, I believe that the strongest measure of customer service is how a company deals with a problem. Do they view it as an opportunity, or a bother. While not the worst experience I've heard, this is definitely not a positive experience.
That being said, we have a Dyson in my house and love it! We purchased probably 6 years ago and it works as well as the day we brought it home. I have noticed poor performance once in a while, but that was because it just needed to be cleaned (the roller brush, or a clog in the line). A couple of minutes and it's back to new.
As for the price, we had someone demo some high end vacuum and they were asking $4,000 for it!
saj80 on 02/05/2010:
Per the FTC, registration is not required for warranty coverage. I purchased a Dyson about a year ago, and have the same problems; loss of suction, rollers wearing out, etc. I, too, agree that they are overpriced and not the greatest quality, and will never even consider buying another one.
Slimjim on 02/05/2010:
Bingo Saj. I have never heard of registration being a condition of warranty. All it does is prove when you bought it if you lost your receipt. BTW, It also helps them prove a unit is out of warranty if a retailer tries to get a customer warranty work on a unit a few months past. (That's why I never register a product). I would complaint to the FTC on this. You have a receipt showing when it was purchased new, and a busted vacuum.
Nice screw job Dyson. Booooooo!
andbran on 02/05/2010:
a friend of mine bought a animal Dyson years ago and loves it.
Venice09 on 02/05/2010:
I believe another reason for registration is to identify product owners in the event of a recall. I agree that it is not a condition of the warranty.
Slimjim on 02/05/2010:

After finally getting through to someone else they found my on-line registration and apologised. I will be bringing in my Dyson to a repair site located close by at THEIR expense. This person also told me that other customers complained about the first guy my son spoke to.
I used this vacuum nearly every day but do not think it should have gone bad this quickly. I truly wish I could find a vacuum cleaner made in the U.S.A. and made with ALL metal parts. The plastic used in most cleaners today breaks too easily. I emptied my canister on this vacuum as soon as it appeared to be full. I kept it as clean as possible. No little kids use it either, just me.
Glad your "friend" likes his animal Dyson but mine sucks!
swimmermom on 06/23/2010:
Sorry about that.. I;m having the same problems.. Never again I will not purchase a Dyson. I depend on mine everyday. So I really need something that will work for me. Anybody know of any vacuum cleaners that are not disposable.swimmermom

Feeling Swindled
Posted by
FORT WORTH -- My fiance and I purchased a Dyson Animal for ourselves this past February as a Valentine's gift for ourselves. We have two medium sized dogs and a cat. We were initially thrilled with the Dyson for the first week and a half. We were careful to keep the canister clean so the filters would operate properly. Then this tiny little plastic part snapped off. I contacted Dyson by phone to see about repairs. They were very nice, however finding out that my online registration never took should have been my first clue. The representative told me the website wasn't working right. No big deal she set up our registration warranty. 5 years is pretty good and considering we paid almost $600.00 dollars definitely good to have. I explained what the problem was and she gave me the location of an appliance shop in our area that would fix it. We dropped the Dyson off a day later (schedule reasons). The people there told us it could be 2 weeks before repairs would be done due to their workload and having to order parts. No worries, this is understandable.
Two weeks later I called....still no parts. I was reassured they should be in shortly and they would let us know. 3 weeks and one day later I called again. STILL no parts. So I asked them what number they used to contact Dyson. I called Dyson to see what the hold up could be. The representative was professional and understood my frustration but just kept telling me backorder, backorder, backorder...not acceptable at this point. The thing I found out was that parts are coming from New York. How could parts coming from New York still be on backorder??? I explained to the representative that I was prepared at this point to return the entire machine for a refund. Spending as much as we did and only getting a weeks use out of it and haven't seen the thing in a month now.
Once I emailed customer service through the Dyson site and twice now I've emailed them through personal email. I have yet to get a response to either communication.
I feel like I've been swindled big time. I suppose the only way to actually get a response is to call them. I plan to call over the weekend and talk to the highest manager possible. This is ridiculous...why can't the machine simply be replaced if this "backordered" part is not available. I've paid more than enough for it.
So far not thrilled with Mr. Dyson's claims of things "working properly."
I'm also not impressed with shotty manufacturing and materials trying to support such "amazing engineering"
Beware the cash cow!

I found this review very helpful. Judging by Dyson's commercials and their prices I would think they would provide a better than customer service relationship than this complaint implies. Bad Dyson!
Good luck to you getting resolution. Post back here if you hear anything.

Expensive Vacuum That Doesn't Work as Good as One for 60.00
Posted by
Dyson customer service really isn't there to deal with your cares or concerns at all. They know you spend a lot of money for a vacuum that just keeps breaking down and their attitude is you didn't buy it directly from us so who cares.
I have had the first piece of junk finally replaced as it kept breaking down constantly and ripping hoses this is a really poorly made vacuum the Animal as it is called. Second vacuum does the same thing breaks the hoses all the time they are just a plastic hose not strong or rigid plastic but very thin see through something like a hose for a commercial hair dryer it is clear with metal coils and it doesn't stretch as far as they claim it does no not at all it just rips at the end of the plastic collar. This is not a cheap replacement hose either it costs over 50.00 for a new one.
If you don't keep coverage on the unit you are really in trouble to have to pay for the hoses up front. I have a Hoover and never ever have I had to replace the hose in all of the years that I own it and paid 60.00 for it not 600.00 like a Dyson Animal.
Not a good experience firstly buying the unit and secondly trying to keep it in hoses and thirdly dealing with rude women at the customer service department not one couldn't care less about my concerns and I have spoken to plenty over the years. I do not recommend this vacuum to anyone and will not ever.

Dyson, Shame on You Dyson Inc
Posted by
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS -- Got a DC24 Animal in Mar 2012,it broke in May and I still don't have it back.. Called Dyson and they walked me through their "easy fix" It did not fix it... I sent pics as requested, and the same day I sent extra pics to Alexandra at Dyson, I got a letter in San Diego saying the engineers said there was nothing wrong with it. It is broken, the beater bar doesn't work, suction is bad....WHAT DO THEY THINK, CONSUMERS ARE DUMB....How did I get a letter from Chicago to San Diego the same day? I didn't, it was posted 5 days before they asked for pics of the broken beater bar... So they lied again.
I had to threaten lawsuits against them to take the vacuum for service.. Sent it it in Dec 16th 2012, today Jan 24th, 2013 and still no vacuum back....They won't return calls, all the supervisors never return calls. I have this documented by recordings and videos also... This broken beater bar damaged my carpet in May 2012, and no resolve to this issue either still to this date... Now they won't call or email back, and I have had a non working vacuum since May 2012, and no vacuum since Dec 2012, as it has disappeared in the shop somewhere.. SHAME ON YOU DYSON INC

Customer Service is the Worst
Posted by
CHICAGO, WASHINGTON -- Don't buy anything from Dyson. I needed to exchange a part and tried calling numerous times with waits longer than 30 minutes and I'd have to hang up. I then e-mailed and a week later got a response that I had to call to get a RA. Finally I called and waited 40 minutes to talk to someone and they told me it was past 30 days and there was nothing they could do. I then sent letter to them and was told 2 weeks later, it was my fault for not contacting them within 30 days. I am returning the part, with receipt confirmation, disputing the charge on my CC and filing a complaint with the BBB. I'm tired of these companies thinking they can just rip off consumers without repercussion. I know fighting for your rights is a hassle and seems easier to just forget about it, but on principle I am not letting this go.

Incredibly Poor Service
Posted by
My wife and I recently purchased a Dyson Ball DC25 vacuum from BJ's in Richmond, Va for $500. Works OK on hardwood floors but not very well on carpets. My wife called the customer service number printed on the vacuum cleaner to request service to resolve the low vacuum issue. She received incredibly rude and unacceptable response from two different representatives. The first representative hung up on her when she asked to be connected to her supervisor. My wife called back and the second person she talked to was also rude and refused to give her the name of her supervisor. My wife has worked in banking for 30 years and knows the importance of quality customer service. She intends to pursue this issue tomorrow. At this point in time I am not the least bit impressed with Dyson. We have owned Electrolux vacuums for many years and have always been satisfied. The Electrolux model BJ's had was $100 less expensive. Looks like we made a poor purchase decision. More expensive doesn't mean better quality.

I assume that a discussion took place prior to asking for a supervisor. What was that discussion? That is a key, missing detail.
Most companies don't allow customers with issues to speak with a supervisor without a lower level CSR discuss the issue first.
Anonymous on 02/24/2011:
I have a Dyson Animal and it works exceptionally well on our carpet, as well as the hardwood. It does sound like there is a problem with your particular vacuum. There is a button that you push for the brush vs hard floor settings. Is it working? If it isn't the brush will not spin for carpet cleaning.
If you purchased the vacuum recently, as you stated, isn't it possible that you can return it for a refund? Hope you get this problem resolved to your satisfaction. If you can't return it, then I do hope you give Dyson another call. Maybe the third time will be the charm.
clutzycook on 02/24/2011:
singsing, you use your Animal on the solid floors? How well does it work? I would love it if I could just use the Dyson and not have to haul out my mini canister when I do my hardwood and tile floors (which is 90% of my floors anyway). I've tried to use other upright vacs on my floors before and have consistently been disapointed.
Anonymous on 02/24/2011:
clutzy, I do use my Dyson on all my solid surface floors and it picks up everything. Just be sure to change the setting.
I also have a Hoover hard floor vac that picks up dirt and also cleans the floors spotless. I love that thing for washing the floors. I haven't had to scrub on my hands and knees for forever. But, I find I never need to use it for just picking up dirt.

Company refuses to repair/respond
Posted by
My vacuum gathers debris around the belt. I brought it in to be repaired and the repairman refused to look at it and belittled me. I then emailed the company and received no response. I'm stuck with an expensive vacuum that doesn't work - I'm forced to pick debris out of the belt every time before I vacuum.
I've bought cheaper vacuums that worked better. Don't get sucked into the hype - just because some guy goes on the television and brags about how awesome his product is doesn't mean that it works.
Bottom line, if you want a good vacuum, it's best to buy one from a company that values its customers and charges a reasonable amount for its product. I'll never buy Dyson again.

Dysons Work Great If You Don't Use Them!
Posted by
FORT WORTH, TEXAS -- I own a Dyson DC 18 that worked great until it lost all SUCTION! Customer support reps were great at helping me trouble shoot with no success. I dismantled the machine as far as I could without voiding the warranty to look for potential blockage, no blockage seen. I utilized a flexible probe to assure that no potential blockage was present beyond what I could not visualize through all hoses and intakes, none were found. Assured that I had done all I could to this fine machine I called support who agreed that service by a Dyson certified tech would be needed. After all I invested in a 350.00 dollar machine because it had a great warranty and claim of "NO LOSS OF SUCTION". To my surprise and regret I come to find out that the machine has a blockage? After questioning the Dyson certified tech about the blockage and all that I have done he informs me that I needed to blow air from a compressor through the machine to clear the blockage of dust, hair and particles which accumulate in the cones of the canister. Humm isn't that part of the technology that is supposed to keep the machine from losing suction?
Isn't dust, hair and dirt particles a normal course of daily vacuuming? Well needless to say the "BLOCKAGE" is not covered by the warranty. When I complained to the Dyson helpline representative he insinuated that possible neglect of the machine had occurred. All this without ever asking for a name, serial number or documented history. Hmmm I guess if I had kept my Dyson in the box or just simply not used it then the suction would be pristine. If you intend on using this machine then be sure to invest in an air compressor to maintain it. If you do plan on using it then be aware that blockages ( accumulation of dust and debris in normal course of cleaning within the patented cone system ) will NOT BE COVERED! Has anyone else experienced these issues? I began searches on this very occurrence and was surprised to find that DYSON was cited on May/30/2007 for Breech of Industry Rules by the Advertising Standards Authority for claiming that Dyson vacuum cleaners were better than others because they did not rely on filters which meant no CLOGGING and therefore no loss of suction. The manufactures literature clearly instructs on the cleaning and maintenance of the FILTER.
I clean my DYSON DC18 FILTER every six months! The Oxford dictionary describes a BLOCKAGE as a obstruction, obstacle, hindrance, barricade, CLOG, close off, shut off. Funny how Sir James DYSON creator of the DYSON does not think that a blockage is a clog but my DC18 sure did because it clogged, had a blockage and SHUT OFF!

MyDyson sucks on 02/16/2010:
The supposed "techs" you call to give you advice on your Dyson are not very educated about their products. When my husband took in my Dyson yesterday the man at the authorized Dyson repair store did not have anything good to say about his own personal dealings with them.
No more Dysons for me!!!
Anonymous on 02/16/2010:
I don't think I would spend that kind of money on a Vacuum. Seems to me a lot of people are having problems with them. I have a SEBO vacuum that was given to me. I've had for over 4 years, and absolutely love it. No problems, nothing.

I guess we can say this product doesn't suck?
Anonymous on 02/16/2010:
I was reading a Consumer Reports mag the other day, the Dyson didn't get that good of a rating. Seems to me the Hoovers are the way to go for vacuuming. My grandmom has an Oreck and she loves it. That also didn't get that great of a score, but it was the lightest of all the vacuums. My mom had a Dirt Devil vacuum she paif 99 bucks for. That thing is the noisest thing I've ever heard, but she says it works great.
Anonymous on 02/16/2010:
Tennboy, over in Ireland they call vacuums Hoovers. Every vacuum is a Hoover.
PepperElf on 02/16/2010:
personally I'm more for the old fashioned bag-vacuums.
the whole "bagless" idea is OK - until you realize you have to change the filter out on a regular basis and the filter is actually more expensive than a box of bags
old fart on 02/16/2010:
Paying 350-400 dollars for a freakin' vacuum cleaner is just plain nuts!
For that price it better be able to cook dinner and baby sit the pets..

Show synopsis An impetuous princess discovers that her reckless choice has put both her family and her father's kingdom in peril in this animated adventure from Pixar films. As a toddler, Merida (voice of Kelly MacDonald) saw her father, King Fergus (Billy Connolly), do battle with one of the fiercest animals in the kingdom -- a horribly scarred hulk of a bear named Mordu. Though Fergus lost his leg defending his family, Merida and her mother, Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson), managed to escape the beast before it vanished back into the forest. Years later, Merida has grown up to become not just a skilled archer, but also a beautiful princess who inspires a competition among the eligible bachelors in the land. But Merida has little interest in getting married, and the harder her mother pushes the issue, the more fiercely she resists it. When the tournament for her hand gets under way and a deep divide opens between mother and daughter, Merida makes a wish that threatens the future of both her family and the entire kingdom. Now, with only a brief window of time to set things right, Merida must summon the courage to atone for her mistake and prevent a past tragedy from destroying any hope for a peaceful future.

The "One Thing" Behind the Genesis Debate
The one thing on which the entire Genesis debate hinges is whether we acknowledge the role played by hermeneutics.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The one thing on which the entire Genesis debate hinges is whether we acknowledge the role played by hermeneutics.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
"We should be slow to accuse another of discarding the authority of Scripture, and therefore denouncing them, just because they interpret Scripture differently than we do."
Learning about science has taught me humility about my Bible reading and it has pushed me to think again, to read again, to ask again, and to wonder all over again what the Bible was saying when it was written and how the Bible was heard to its original hearers (so far as the evidence permits us to know such things).
This week in origins news, a great collection of articles by key players in the conversation about theology and science, a surprising science fair discovery, and the Apollo 11 anniversary!
For my part, the historical setting of the text plays an important role in how I read. It's not a problem in my view to see the authors of Genesis embedded in their times, writing in the scientific/mythological terms they knew, even if those terms are now obsolete.
"There are clues in a text as to how the text should be written, so with Genesis, the rhythmic nature of Genesis 1 and 2, the almost poetic, and hymnic, function that it would have played in the liturgy of the earliest Jewish lives… it seems to me that there are clues here that it should be read in a theological way."
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
The confident assertion that the Bible trumps science stems from a misunderstanding of the purpose of the scriptures, and a misapplication of the Bible to answer questions that can only be answered by the application of science.
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
Sometimes, out of fear or some sense of being required to defend our position, Church leaders and teachers have hastily set up a boundary marker around some doctrinal theory which they have confused as a core doctrinal issue.
"Being confronted with evolution may have been the catalyst for asking the difficult questions, but the real problem for me was not evolution – it was biblical literalism."
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.

A memory swivel is a wonderful choice for a bar stool. Swivels are ideal for rooms that do double duty. For many homeowners today, the kitchen is the heart of the home and it often is connected to a dining room, living room or family room. A bar stool that can switch position to look to the kitchen and another seating area or TV viewing area is a boon to these types of multipurpose spaces. Read More
Bar stools with memory swivels are available in all design styles to make it easy for you to find the best one for you. Go for the look of a traditional British pub with a leather and wood bar stool with memory swivel. Brown leather, turned legs and nailhead trim create a sophisticated look that is just right for your cozy family room bar area.
A modern mix of silver metal and white upholstery is a California cool take on the classic metal bar stool. The light color keeps your décor garden fresh. A black memory swivel bar stool with a delicate curlicue cut-out back creates a focal point. A decorative look like this is perfect for a bar area that is adjacent to a more formal seating area. Choose a memory swivel bar stool with beautiful taupe or beige upholstery for a great contrast to the dark stain of the wood.
Memory swivel bar stools are available in two major height choices. Counter height is perfect for a bar area that is the same height as your kitchen counter. Bar height is ideal for a memory swivel bar stool for a separate bar or for the raised bar area on your kitchen island.

Albany Police say they've arrested the man responsible for a triple stabbing in the city on Monday that left one woman dead and two others injured. Our Erin Vannella joined us with the latest from Albany.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- Police are saying they have caught Michael Anderson, 29, the man they believe stabbed three Albany women Monday night.
According to Albany Police spokesperson Steven Smith, Anderson was caught on Lark Drive.
Police say Anderson is wanted in connection with the stabbing of Gwynn Carter, 43, Shaquasia Thomas, 26, and Tonette Thomas, 20.
Tonette Thomas died of her injuries. Carter and Shaquasia Thomas are at Albany Medical Center in critical condition.
Police say the victims all knew the Anderson and this was not a random act of violence.
