WAXHAW, NORTH CAROLINA -- When we contracted our house to be built in 2013, we paid a 15k upgrade to have "wood" flooring throughout the main floor of the house. Engineered flooring IS NOT WOOD! There is about an 1/8", maybe less, strip on the surface of a 1/2" of cheap plywood lengths. We have had a multitude of issues. Everything from ends curling up to splintering along the sides of the boards, to water damage causing the finished 1/8" surface to peel completely away from the plywood underneath.
Our builder, the installer and Mohawk keep pointing fingers at each other in a circle. They have replaced about 40-50 full floors in our neighborhood, but won't replace mine as it wasn't deemed "defective." Defective or not, it is a piece of crap product that shouldn't even be manufactured. I have also recently learned that it was installed incorrectly, as it wasn't allowed to acclimate to the environment before installation. My neighbor is actually working with the state to have his issues corrected, and we have the same floor. What a joke!
Dear Amy, I'm Laura with Mohawk Flooring, and I'm very sorry to read about the experience you've had with your hardwood floors. If you could provide a little bit of info at the following form, we will pull your claim to review. I apologize again, Amy. Take care-- Laura
SUGAR LAND, TEXAS -- I have about 2000 sq feet of Mohawk wood floors. The floors were installed in a new construction home in 2011 by Village Builders (now Lennar) in Sugar Land, Texas. The floors are 3 1/2 years old. The top layer on the edges of the wood are coming apart in every single room. I have NO kids and very little traffic in the home. The floors cost close to 15K. Mohawk sent me a letter today which states "The Mohawk products is warranted to the original purchaser of the material. Our warranties to do not transfer from homeowner to homeowner."
I purchased my home from the original owner when the home was almost one year old. Therefore, MOHAWK WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. It is such a shame. Honestly, I would be embarrassed and ashamed to be employed by a company who fabricates such poor quality products. I suggest home builders find a new wood floor manufacturer unless you want unhappy customers! You will REGRET using your hard earned money on Mohawk products. At the least, you expect Mohawk would do what is right and stand behind their 3 year old product.
Hi there,
This is Laura with Mohawk Flooring. Thank you for reaching back out to us - we're reviewing your issue with your hardwoods, so we will be in touch with you soon. I'm so sorry for your concerns, and I want to thank you for sharing them with us and for allowing us the chance to address them.
TENNESSEE, TENNESSEE -- Mohawk Carpet Warranty requires the carpet to be professionally cleaned by a "CERTIFIED" carpet cleaner. Using a "Bissell" is not a professional cleaning. In fact it leaves harmful high pH chemical residues in the carpet. You voided the manufacturers warranty. You should be thankful that they replaced it.
Copied from Mohawk's Carpet Warranty Brochure... 5. Maintain your carpet according to Mohawk requirements in the section of this brochure labeled "Carpet Care and Guidelines", including having a minimum of one (1) professional cleaning every 18 months using cleaning products, equipment, systems and services specified/certified with the Carpet and Rug Institute Seal of Approval. (Visit www.carpet-rug.org for a complete list of certified products.)
You must show proof of cleanings in the form of a bill, invoice, or statement for cleaning services. Along with these documents, Mohawk recommends keeping a 2' x 3' piece of carpet from your installation for your warranty or in case you ever need to make a repair.
When we purchased our townhome we chose to have the builder put in the Mohawk engineered wood floors that were available as an upgrade. They looked fantastic on the sample. Since then have been very dissatisfied with these floors and have had numerous problems ranging from annoying to huge.
First, like other folks have noticed, they get smudges instantly after cleaning them, no matter what product one uses and no matter if you have socks, shoes, or bare feet. Second, we noticed that there are gaps between the ends of the boards where they are supposed to meet and sometimes between the boards on the long side. Also, many boards are not level where the ends meet, resulting in an annoying lip. It's hard to say if it's the product or the installers that have caused this.
A customer service rep at Mohawk said gaps are normal and we should see them go away as the seasons change - well, we've been through three seasons and there's been no change for better or worse. The rep I spoke with couldn't even tell me under what conditions (humidity, temperature, etc.) the gaps wouldn't be there and whether there was an actual quantitative size that below which was deemed acceptable. Because we're under warranty with the builder we are having them address the issues.
So far we've met with a rep from the company that installed the floors and he said that the acceptable industry standard for gaps and unlevelness is the thickness of a credit card. We said that's not acceptable. Then he said that it's a man-made product and we should accept these flaws. We said no, because it's a man-made product you can control such things and it's more dimensionally stable than solid wood (a natural product) so it shouldn't expand/contract that much AND the boards are glued down so they shouldn't move at all.
His solution was to fill all of the 60 or so gaps with these special filler crayons and shoot finishing nails through the boards that are not level to get them to stay down, then fill the holes with the crayons. The problem now is that the crayon doesn't match the color of the floors and you can see where the nails went through the boards anywhere there is light from a window. We are also concerned because we now have holes through the top protective coat - who knows what problems this will cause in years to come.
To add insult to injury, we found that two colors of wood have been installed in our living room. The rest of the floors are uniform in color but there are blond planks intersperse with our butternut. The installer insisted he ordered the whole house from one batch in order to avoid such a problem. Interestingly, the builder's punch-list guy admitted they've had similar problems with these floors in some of the other townhomes.
Now we are waiting for a third party Mohawk rep to visit to see if it's "normal variation." We still need to revisit the "fixes" the installer did because the floor looks worse now than it did before. More to come... In summary, it's not worth the trouble to even bother with Mohawk engineered wood if you have a choice (we know that now).
ORLANDO, FLORIDA -- Quality of this Mohawk flooring is total junk. I professionally install many forms or flooring, and this is some of the worst. The first thing I encountered was replacing the fridge, it left huge roller indentations on new floor. I thought well "you big dummy that's too much weight" but I've done that before with other laminates. Then put carpet under another heavy item to move it, and it also scratched the floor.
Now after replacing two huge areas I'm treating this stuff like glass, turns out glass is less fragile. I dropped a small piece of wood from like 8 to 10 inches from the floor and it dented it. Bottom line, do not buy or install this product. It will not hold up if you are homeowner, and cost you time and money if you are the installer. I felt bad for my customer, 14 grand just in material & it's crap.
I'm Jordan from Mohawk Flooring, and I'm so sorry to hear about these flooring issues. Do you know if your customer has contacted Mohawk's Consumer Affairs team yet? If not, here is a form that he or she can fill out online. Once Mohawk receives it, they will contact your customer right away. Again, I apologize for the issues your customer is experiencing. http://www.mohawkflooring.com/consumer-affairs/
This Carpet is the worst!!! We had just bought our first home and put in $4000.00 worth of Mohawk Carpet. We were told at Lowe's that this is really good carpet. It looked nice there and felt nice as well. Their sign said it was tough enough for kids, which was good because we have two boys and it was pet friendly which we have a dog. It was also supposed to not show stains which we wanted! Lowe's sold us on this Carpet.
We had it installed about 1 month after we moved in our house on October 13th 2011. So November we had our new carpet and it seemed really nice. It was around March when we realized we was getting a bald spot right in the middle of our living room. All the carpet strains kept coming out. We contacted Lowe's immediately and they filed a claim with the company.
The company sent out an independent inspector to look at it and write a report. The company denied our claim stating it was related to our carpet cleaner and our dog. We had a name brand carpet cleaner, Bissell and our dog never messed with the carpet. It ended up that Lowe's paid for part of our carpet and the company ended up paying for the rest after Lowe's kept on them for a good while.
So we had the new carpet installed which was the same kind of carpet. This was probably around May that it was installed. Within 1 month we began to see our seams coming apart. So I called the installers and they came to fix them, however it ended up being the carpet coming apart from the bottom of the carpet, the matting I guess. So we filed yet another claim. Once again the company has denied our claim. Lowe's said there is nothing else they can do and that they will give us a discount off of new flooring if we wish.
I am now stuck with crappy carpet from a company that does not stand behind their warranty!! My carpet looks dirty and worn only after a few months and it's all coming apart. I paid $4000.00 for this and it lasted less than one year!! I have two kids and do not have money to replace $4000.00 worth of flooring after a year. This company is horrible and I wish I would of never bought their carpet! I am a mother just trying to provide a nice home for my children and companies like Mohawk doesn't care! Don't buy this Carpet!!!
In August 2009, I purchased 1000 sq-ft of Mohawk's Mirador Porcelain Tile because I was impressed by the demo tile, but it proved to be a huge mistake for the following reasons. #1: No "Made in China" label or country of origin disclosure on demo tile or website. Several stores told me that this product was made in the USA by Mohawk. But to my horror, it was delivered in plain bundles labeled "Made in China."
It's beginning to appear that Mohawk buys this tile from China, sticks a Mohawk label on the demo tiles, and routinely fails to disclose the country of origin. Shame on Mohawk for deceiving customers! It also appears that "Shaw Tile Company" sells an alarmingly similar tile to Mohawk's Mirador line. So there's nothing Mohawk or USA about it.
Problem #2: Mohawk's inferior tile steeply drives up installation costs and significantly delays completion times. Installation was a nightmare: bowed tile with pinholes and chipped/broken corners along with a single edge that tends to be much sharper than the rest, enough to slice the installer's finger. Even after the most conscientious and costly installation, the defects are still blatantly obvious and the protruding lips are unavoidable.
Problem #3: Mohawk Customer Service is unconcerned and unresponsive. It's been over seven weeks since my initial complaint but still no action from Mohawk, not even a call back. My unfinished project appears to be indefinitely delayed and costs continue to rise.
My initial complaint was to the store and an unresponsive Mohawk field representative who asked me to leave him some tile at the store to examine, but never showed up to look at it. He expressed that he was confident that Mohawk's tile was within tolerance and told me to continue with installation. After numerous calls, the Mohawk rep finally looked at the tile, and from my understanding, his company agrees that the tile is defective, but is not prepared to act on my claim. Mohawk Industries tells me to keep waiting for an answer from the store.
It has been over 7 weeks since I sent them evidence of the defects, and Mohawk has yet to provide me with a viable solution, let alone a call back to let me know the status of my claim. When I called the Mohawk Claims Department, the Mohawk rep told me that she only communicates with retailers about complaints and not customers. Easy for Mohawk!
I've visited the store countless times but Mohawk doesn't appear to be doing anything with my claim. The store has called Mohawk numerous times but they just keep getting the run-around. Thus, from my experience, it's fair to conclude that Mohawk Industries has awful customer service, inferior tile, and does not stand behind its products. Buyer beware!
DALLAS, TEXAS -- I have been complaining about my tile since the day the I bought the home from the builder. The builder ignored my complaint because it was not on my 30-day list and I missed my walkthrough because my job sent me out of town and they would not reschedule it. After two years of frustration someone tipped me off and told me the local supplier was Heritage carpet and Tile. After fighting with them forever they finally came to the house and said the lead that is coming up from the floor is dirt.
I was outraged I had just had the tile professional cleaned by K C Tile and Kenny told me that what was coming up from the floor was not dirt. I called ** office who is supposed to be the VP of Mohawk. I sent up water samples and reports and they swooped it under the rug. After another year of living this nightmare I contacted ** the regional vice president of the company. He send out an inspector out here who references turned out to be false.
I called every one of floor eyes inspections references and they were all false regarding his education. He was told to take them off his website or there would be legal action taken. I reported this to ** who is the head of the claims at Mohawk was told by this inspector that my floor was dirty... It was cleaned again two days before the inspection was done. I hit the roof. I have sent them pictures, the socks that showed that even bleach does not remove the tar when washed and again they denied my claim.
I then took a video of my floor being cleaned and after it dried took a brand new clean pair of socks and walk on the floor, took off the sock and they were black. I called ** the President of Mohawk... That's the Guy at the top whom makes over a million dollars a year... By the way if anyone wants the direct phone numbers to any of these corporate executive please feel free to ask.
I sent ** the socks and he sent them to his legal department that hired an inspector that lives four hours away, gee I wonder why when there are 35 in the surrounding area of my home. But I have hired a laboratory specialist and another inspector and a water specialist to be here with a local news crew, the board of health and a camera team. I am done playing games... Now I am hearing this tile was made in CHINA. My family comes first and god help this company if there is a toxic substance coming from this tile.
NEW MEXICO -- We built a new home recently and used Mohawk for all of our flooring; tile, carpet and hard wood. We have a concrete slab and ordered/purchased a floating hard wood floor. Our contractor told us that because of the slab and shifting/settling of the ground a floating floor would allow the floor to "give" and not gap or break should the slab move. I don't if it was installed correctly or not. Right now (over 3 months since we complained) our flooring is still not right.
Our installer came by to look at it after we noticed that the floor was very wavy - high spots that you could actually see move up and down when you stepped on them - and when it started to separate between planks. They tried to fix it by ripping up some of the flooring and "pushing it together" with big straps. Obviously that did not work. They called Mohawk back in the middle of April to get them involved with the problem. Mohawk had to send out an "independent inspector" before anything could be done.
It took almost 4 weeks to get an inspector and then he didn't turn in his report for over 1 week after that. Of course Mohawk pays this "independent" inspector and found they were not at fault and it was the installer's problem. I tried to talk to customer service and they said they could not speak with me. They only speak to the distributors/resellers. I asked to speak to someone who COULD speak with me and I was told that no one ever speaks directly to the customer, it's their policy! I guess I should have known - Mohawk got its money from the distributor/installer and the installer got our money and now we're left with part of our floor torn up and no idea if it will ever be fixed.
A lot of finger pointing going on and Mohawk DOES NOT CARE if the customer is happy or not. I hope everyone who reads this will seriously consider NOT USING MOHAWK for any of your flooring needs. According to the independent inspector Mohawk will let anyone sell their product as long they pay them. Oh... And our floor gets smudges on it too and dog drool is super hard to get up!
DELAWARE -- I had subject flooring installed in my home and within 12 weeks we discovered that it was becoming discolored. We contacted the store where it was purchased and they pawned us off on Mohawk who also gave us the brush off. Their claim was that the floors discolored because of exposure to light. Well, what home does not have light?
I am light sensitive and the light in my home is extremely subdued and this was proven to an inspector who came to my home. He totally lied in his inspection report and stated that the floors were exposed to bright sunlight. Really? The furniture was in the rooms for 10 years but did not have any fading. Fabric is far more susceptible to fading than hardwood floors but 10 years of light on fabric caused no fading, but 12 weeks on Mohawk flooring changed the color of the floors. Can you say bull boys and girls?

Monday's letters: Different world
Published: Monday, December 17, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 14, 2012 at 5:38 p.m.
To the editor: In response to Louise Petersons letter in the Dec. 2 edition, she was so right regarding vocational classes in the schools. When my stepson was a junior in high school, we were talking about education, and he said college is not for everyone and I agreed. But you have to have a craft to be successful in life, I told him.
In the summer after his junior year, he worked as an intern for a company for six weeks and was then chosen for its four-year apprenticeship program after he completed high school. Upon completion of the apprenticeship program, he was given a full-time position. He currently makes $28.50 an hour and is a taxpayer.
Ms. Peterson, you are so right there is so much emphasis placed on every child to attend college, but there are other very good alternatives for those who feel college is not for them. How many college graduates are unemployed?
There are so many younger kids being left behind who feel college is not for them. There was a time when college was essential. Its a different world today.

Ugly rhetoric
To the editor: I am writing to protest, in the strongest terms possible, the publication of the column And the winner is dirty campaigning by John Fogle in the Dec. 7 paper.
Mr. Fogle makes sweeping comments about Democrats in general, using phrases like vicious negative campaigning, the lack of honor among Democrats and modern Democrats have much lower standards of decency.
How does publishing this kind of vitriol advance a civilized discussion about the vital issues this country is facing? Mr. Fogle is a prime example of that subset of Republicans who cannot believe their candidate lost. The anger and bitterness at that loss seems to be settling and hardening. As a proud Democrat, I will not stoop to his level of name-calling and ugly rhetoric.
He is looking to explain Romneys loss with accusations of dirty campaigning. Well, you know what? Thats OK by me. Because as long as the Republicans look to those lame (and bogus) excuses, they will not be examining the real reasons for the loss: a candidate who stood on all sides of every issue, an ideology that alienated almost every demographic group, and policies that would push us back to the 1950s.
Carole Repici
Hollow words
To the editor: We have a president who never had a real job in his life and a secretary of the Treasury who did not pay his personal income taxes for four years telling the 52 percent on Americans who do pay taxes how we must support their spending programs. They do not even have a program to reduce government spending, only more spending.
When the secretary of Treasury was caught not paying taxes, he paid up, but with no penalties, which all other citizens would have been charged.
Great bunch of leaders.

Here in Kentucky we love our basketball. Did you hear how I called it "our" basketball? Like we own it or something?
Well, I've been a fan since my earliest memories. The other thing I love is positive news stories. This one contains both.
Jason Mcelwain a young man who has autism. He's also a basketball player. What he was able to do should inspire us all towards being better people.

Child battling cancer gets Wheaties cover
Battling cancer is no joke. It's good to see encouragement coming, especially to children, who've only just begun their journey.
The 5-year-old girl has faced ups and downs in her battle with pediatric cancer—always with a smile on her face. Still has shared all of Leah's triumphs and setbacks on social media. Leah first captured our hearts last year when doctors diagnosed her with neuroblastoma, a rare cancer that usually affects children under 5 years old, giving her a 50-50 chance of survival.
I say, Wheaties should do this every month with a new child to root for!
What Pi Sounds Like
Does Science Argue For or Against God?
Very clear and easy to watch explanation that even though there are a vast number of planets in our universe, given the minimum 50 criteria needed to support life the number of candidates is only in the thousands.
At least, that's by today's current level of understanding.
Just remember, back in the 1960s, scientists told us alien life was almost a certainty.
So, does science argue for or against God? Seems pretty clear that, as long as, scientists check their agenda at the door, the facts show beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is a Creator.
The Universe Is Mathematically Precise
The Universe Is Mathematically Precise
The precision of the universe destroys the theory that it's all a big accident. There's meaning here. Which means there's meaning to life.
No honest person can look around and see the immense complexity of our universe, that balances on the edge of a razor, allowing for all of life on Earth, and then say it all came about through chance.
This video is just one more example.

Today in History: March 15
The Pine Tree State
Devil's Pulpit, Bald Head Cliff, York, Maine, circa 1900.
Touring Turn-of-the-Century America: Photographs from the Detroit Publishing Company, 1880-1920
On March 15, 1820, Maine became the twenty-third state in the Union. Originally a province of Massachusetts, Maine is noted for its picturesque coastline and dense woodlands. Even today, ninety percent of Maine remains forested.
Explorer Samuel de Champlain reached the coast of Maine in 1604 and claimed it as part of the French province of Acadia. France and Britain disputed ownership until 1763, when the region was ceded to the British during negotiations ending the French and Indian War.
In the nineteenth century, jobs in the timber industry lured many French-speaking Canadians to Maine. Vital Martin, a Canadian who moved to Maine in 1898, found the woods of Penobscot County crowded in comparison to rural Canada. "Me, I don't like to go out in the woods to hunt here," Martin admitted in a 1938 American Life Histories, 1936-1940 interview. "It is too dangerous," he continued, "You never can tell when someone will kill you for something else." For the most part, the French speaking Martin preferred the civilized comforts of Old Town, Maine to the isolated country life he knew as a child in Canada:
I wouldn't want to go back there,…This is a much better place…This job is steady the year around, an' she's not hard. I have a little garden there an' I Keep the hen…The work is much easier now for the womans. She have the washer, the Frigidhaire [sic], an' the electric light, an' she have the water on the sink. Yes sir, the world has improved very much since I live in Canada.

I'm Ashley (McMillan) Weightman. I grew up in the small town of Wimbledon, North Dakota. In 2005 I moved to Bismarck to go to school where I graduated from the University of Mary with a Bachelors Degree in Communications and Business. I began working at the CBS affiliate as a reporter while in college and spent three years there. From CBS, I moved to Devils Lake to work at WDAZ-TV for a year, before continuing to work at WDAZ in Grand Forks. I married the love of my life Travis on June 23, 2012 and we now live in Bismarck with our three year old son, Corbin. Travis works at KXMB-TV and I at KLJ Engineering and attend Rasmussen College where I'm pursing a Bachelors Degree in Human Resources Management and Organizational Leadership.
Weight has been a struggle for me since I can remember. I do well for a while and then fall off the wagon. Four years ago I lost nearly 50lbs and was doing great. Two months after maintaining my weight, I found out that I was pregnant and gained 70lbs in nine months. I figured after I had Corbin, some of the pounds would fall off. Corbin weight 8lbs 12oz and I only lost 3lbs. Ever since December of 2009, I've been doing fad diets for about a month, trying the gym on and off, and eat healthy and nothing seems to be working. I've recently had some health issues and my doctor told me that in order to have more children and be a part of my children's life, I need to lose weight, but most importantly, I need to do it for me.
Well it seems life has gotten away with me. When it's raining I try and clean house and do homework. When the sun is shining I must be outside. Work has started on our house, I was offered a full-time job in Human Resources, and did I mention I did the Color Splash Fun Dash 5k?!!!!
I'm not going to lie to you, it was hard. I think I would have done better had this HUGE hill not been taunting us at the mile mark and again at the 2.5 mile mark. It was HUGE!!!! My sisters, a friend, and I all started together, but Lauren and Sara are avid runners, whereas Andrea and I run when we feel it is neccessary. The had five different color stations and at the beginning we threw packets of color in the air before the shotgun start. We ran until we were at the bottom of the hill. Boy did my glutes feel that hill as soon as we were at the top. We then ran again when we caught our breath and when we crossed the finish line.
That was the greatest feeling ever; crossing the finish line and having people cheering for you was awesome!! My son and husband were there and Corbin ran up and gave me a hug and said, "great job mom, you did it!" That reason right there, is why, that same day, I signed up for another 5k. It's a glow run at night. You run by the light of and with glow sticks and they also throw color at you. I'm excited and even got my mom to do it!
I finished the Color Splash Fun Dash under the time I had wanted and I had a goal of beating certain people and I did, so life was good!! Except for the fact that my hair line was pink for a couple of days and my feet had some blue on them. But I can't wait until next year!
Here is to training and blogging more!!!

Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry are having what professional pop culture aficionados call one awesome girl fight.
Sorry, that was out of line ... cat fight.
So some of you sickies out there may remember last month at Cyrus' concert in Los Angeles. Perry, who was in the front row, obliged Cyrus when the singer went in to give Perry a kiss. Only Cyrus appeared to try get all French on her, which Perry wasn't having and pulled away.
That's right. Katy Perry kissed a girl ... and didn't like it.
Perry recently described the incident on Australian television, according to TMZ.
"I just walked up to her to give her like a friendly girl kiss, you know, as girls do," she said, explaining how stunned she was when Cyrus went Gene Simmons. "God knows where that tongue has been. We don't know. The tongue is so infamous!"
She makes a good point. The girl is worse than a puppy.
Perry may have meant is as a joke, but Cyrus doesn't seem to be taking it that way. firing back on Twitter "Girl if ur worried abt where tongues have been good thing ur ex boo is ur EX BOO cause we ALL know where THAT (tongue) been."
If she's talking about John Mayer, she kind of makes a good point, too.
We can only hope Perry isn't mature enough to let that go.

How have I not been using a foundation brush until now! Spend the money on a quality brush--it absolutely makes the difference! I even use this to apply tinted moistuirzer in the summer for a fresh, glowing look. And it really stretches the use of your foundation -- especially great if you're buying those high-dollar brands. Would def. reccommend!!

Good news everyone! I had a meeting with the IC parks supervisor at Peninsula this morning. It was really great to get him out there, acquainted with disc golf and the state of the course. Thank him if you see him!
Some things we talked about:
Hole 1. He's willing to do a prairie burn at the end of the week (cross your fingers)! Hole 15, and 11 maybe too, though not as likely.
Also, anyone know where those railroad ties came from/are for?
Hole 2. He wants to mulch the pathway to 2's pad. Also talked about closing down the pathway from short pin of 1 to pad of 2 due to mud and erosion, and creating a new path right next to it. I think we should just move 1's pin to the deep spot.
He might mulch around some pins. He might even plant grass. This week! Super cool guy.
Every other hole: I'm working on getting equipment donated for a days use. A skidloader, an atv, chainsaws and whatnot. All to clean up our fairways and light rough areas of deadwood. Theres some downed trees in the fairways we need to move around. I was given great advice and a green light from the parks and rec super, and am now writing up a proposal to get that equip donation.
When it comes down to it, I'm looking at a Saturday in early April? I'll need help. Lots of lifting and cutting to do. The more help I have is the more we can get done. Tell your friends. Tell your enemies. Tell rec players you see out there. I'm even asking the local Boy Scout troop if they would like to help. If ever you've claimed Peninsula to be perilous, you'll soon have a chance to do something about it.

Post subject: No news is frustrating!! Rant
My clinic is making me so frustrated. I love the dr and the nurses but as far as office staff and contacting patients I hate them. I had my egg retrieval Wednesday and was told that they were only able to retrieve eggs from my left ovary bc my right was hidden behind my uterus by scar tissue. The dr said it wasn't an issue bc he got 10 decent looking eggs from my left. The office said they would update me daily on my eggs/embyros and let me know if the were going to do my transfer Saturday or Monday. They called me Wednesday and told me one had died and Thursday they called to tell me that they tried to fertilize 9 but so far only 5 took but the others could still fertilize. I waited all day Friday for a call and never recieved one. I am furious. They have a tendency to call after business hours and I waited and waited for word and still haven't recieved any. I left a message last night on their machine for after hour calls and was informed by the machine that by doing so I might be subject to a $25 fee. My right ovary is hurting bc is is full of eggs while my left one is feeling great. I am just frustrated. I googled my clinic and one patient had said that she was to do a transfer and hadn't heard back from the office by the first estimated transfer date (mine is today) and it was bc they didn't want to tell her that her embryos had all died! I can't keep my mind from thinking that no news is probably bad news!

I am in the states. I talked to a friend who knows many people who have used the same clinic I am working with. She said alot of them got calls between 6-9pm. Yesterday was an emotional day. I was extremely weepy (all day) and bawled my eyes out bc that was the 1st possible transfer date and I hadn't heard from them. They did call at 8:30 in the morning to let me know I have 4 embyros remaining. Two are 8 cells, and two have 10 cells and that they would do the transfer Monday. I still haven't gotten a time for tomorrow's transfer but they said they would call me today.

3 posts in the past 48 hours.And I'm posting this just to i9mprove the statistics.. It's LABRYNTH, idiot!
I do remember warning you guys here on TW that it was a mistake to ban Dogz.The main instigators for Dogz removal ... K, Rabbitfighter have now also disappeared!?However ..... despite the few posts/replies etc, when checking the who is online, I have seen up to 30 Anonymous Users online.
I apologize for my role in Dogz' removal; the TW of today is indeed in a sorry state. No user surpassed Dogz in his alacrity (the way he drew out the best in posters in countless lengthy threads), his hospitality (his knowledge and warmth towards people from other cultures), and his wit (the various pictures of Effee in a fez). In my heart I know that I have killed something very beautiful.I, therefore, shall honour the memory of Dogz by wearing as my avatar a badge of shame of the TW that I and others destroyed. Dogz, at long last, has been vindicated in the eyes of TWers, and I humbly submit my apology to TW and beg for forgiveness.Sincerely,White PrismMy niceness is another quality others do not now know to handle.

text: The City of Charlotte Solid Waste Services has teamed up for another year with the Carolina Panthers, Keep Mecklenburg Beautiful, Bojangles' and Charlotte Center City Partners to sack waste and score big for recycling with the Tailgate Recycling Program.How To ParticipateTailgaters get a yellow recycling bag as they enter their parking lot prior to the game. Before heading into the stadium, tailgaters are instructed to leave bags (and collapsed cardboard if not in the bag) at the curb to be picked up by a Solid Waste Services' Special Services crew. In addition to bottles and cans, fans can add clean cardboard to the yellow recycling bags.Volunteers NeededJoin the fun while working for a cleaner, greener Charlotte at the same time. Volunteers are being recruited to assist parking lot operators in distributing extra bags and sharing information with fans about what to recycle and with collection. Volunteers are needed for regular home games which have a 1 pm kickoff. Volunteer commitment is from 9 am - Noon. Volunteers meet at the Hal Marshal Center (free parking). Volunteer coordinators will meet volunteers at the Hal Marshal building (700 N. Tryon St.) and arrange logistics.For more information, contact Jake Wilson at 704-432-1772 or 704-621-7372.

Company activity
In October 2011, Ashland Specialty Ingredients launched three new commercial grades of Benecel hypromellose (HPMC) excipients for the formulation of matrix tablets. These commercial grades (HPMC K250 PH PRM, HPMC K750 PH PRM, and HPMC K1500 PH PRM) of intermediate-molecular-weight polymers are designed to provide more predictable controlled-release profiles compared with blending legacy grades of HPMC. HPMC is used in hydrophilic matrix systems. Molecular weight plays a key role in dictating drug release, so formulators select specific molecular weight grades based on drug solubility and desired release profile, which often required blending different grades of HPMC. The new grades eliminate the need for such blending.
Meanwhile, Univar formed an agreement with Dow Corning in March 2012 for the US distribution of its silicone-based products, including pharmaceutical excipients, process aids, and fluids for siliconization. The agreement includes the United States and Puerto Rico and is an extension of the companies' existing partnership in Canada. Univar will sell a range of Dow Corning branded products, including simethicones, dimethicones, medical antifoams, and specialty fluids. The products are used in a variety of end-use applications, formulations, and manufacturing processes.
Also in October, BASF and Colorcon formed a collaboration for the development of future film-coating systems using BASF's Kollicoat SmartSeal 30D and new Colorcon preformulated additives. Colorcon developed a preformulated additive system for use with Kollicoat SmartSeal 30D to enable efficient preparation and application of this polymer in taste-masking applications. The preformulated additive lowers the number of materials to be dispensed by 50% and reduces the preparation time by almost 40%, according to the companies.
BASF launched Kollicoat Smartseal 30 D, an aqueous dispersion of a film-forming polymer with taste-masking and moisture-barrier applications in 2011. The excipient is highly impermeable to water vapor, which helps preserve the potency of sensitive active ingredients, according to the company. The polymer is stable in saliva and specifically soluble in gastric juice. These properties allow for effective protection from unpleasant taste in the patient's mouth and rapid release and onset of active ingredient action in the stomach.
Also in 2011, Dow Polyglycols, Surfactants & Fluids, a business unit of Dow Chemical, announced it is expanding capacity for Carbowax Sentry solid-grade polyethylene glycols, which are used as pharmaceutical excipients, APIs (i.e., laxatives) and in personal-care products. The company announced the expansion last October with the expansion slated to begin in 2012 to support global supply.
In late 2010, the chemical company Celanese launched VitalDose, an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) polymer-based excipient for controlled-release pharmaceutical applications. The EVA-based excipients can be used in the design of transdermal, subcutaneous implant, and mucosal insert dosage forms.
On the acquisition front, DMV–Fonterra Excipients GmbH & Co. KG, the 50–50 joint venture for pharmaceutical excipients between the Dutch dairy company Royal Friesland Campina and the New Zealand dairy company Fonterra, acquired the business and assets of Brahmar Cellulose Private Limited (BCPL) in 20011. The move positions the company in pharmaceutical microcrystalline cellulose and sodium carboxyl methylcellulose.
Evonik completed the acquisition of SurModics Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of SurModics, in late 2011. The acquisition gives Evonik ownership of SurModics' parenteral dosage forms services and bioresorbable polymers business. The new business includes two facilities for the development and manufacturing of polymers and drug-delivery systems in Birmingham, Alabama. Formulation approaches used with the bioresorbable polymers include bioresorbable microparticles, nanoparticles, liposomes, implants, and other polymer-based configurations. Evonik is a producer of functional pharmaceutical excipients, which includes coatings and matrix systems for controlled release of APIs in tablets and other oral dosage forms through its Eudragit product line. In 2011, Evonik acquired the Resomer polymer business from Boehringer Ingelheim. These polymers are used for controlled release injectables, bioresorbable implants and medical devices.
In May 2011, Avantor Performance Chemicals opened a new pharmaceutical formulation application laboratory in Sinnar Nashik, Maharashtra, India, with its partner RanQ Remedies. The new laboratory is used to characterize excipients, perform functional testing, develop and characterize drug formulations, and support customer applications and product implementation. In terms of excipients, RanQ has a position in microcrystalline cellulose and sodium starch glycolate and also has expertise in developing premixed and other application-focused pharmaceutical excipients that result in a homogenous mix and coprocessed excipients.
In Ireland, FMC completed an expansion of its microcrystalline cellulose plant in Cork. Production from the final phase of the expansion began in March 2011 and increased FMC's global capacity by 25% for pharmaceutical- and food-grade microcrystalline cellulose. FMC operates another microcrystalline cellulose plant in Newark, Delaware. In March 2011, Grace Davison Discovery Sciences, part of W.R. Grace & Co., opened a new technical service knowledge center in Southern India for customers in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.

CLEARWATER, S.C. -- Hooties Outdoors in Clearwater has been getting some phone calls.
"We've had quite a few, and people walking into the store as well," said Cary Davis, the owner of Hooties.
Lots of hunters across the state are confused about what's been called "Free Hunt Days" on Friday, Jan. 4, and Saturday, Jan. 5.
"The department was really trying to offer a day, so that people who didn't know if they were wanting to go hunting or not would have the opportunity to be able to go without having to spend the money for the license," Davis said.
But deer season has not been extended. Hunters without licenses can only hunt certain animals for free today and tomorrow.
"That would include, but not limited to: rabbits, squirrel, quail, small game," said Capt. Bob McCullough, spokesman with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.
McCullough says certain water fowl can also be harvested on Saturday with a Federal Duck Stamp. Some deer can be hunted only on Saturday, Jan. 5, but only by youths 17 and younger if they're accompanied by an adult and if they're the ones pulling the trigger, not the adults.
"And I know there's been a lot of confusion about that, but these two days do not extend deer season at all," McCullough said.
He says $475 tickets will still apply Saturday if you do illegally shoot a deer.
"But, you know, every situation's different, and, you know, I'm not going to sit here and say that everybody would get a ticket or wouldn't get a ticket," he said.
By the way, this free hunt weekend only applies to South Carolina residents, so it'll be against the law for Georgians to cross to border and hunt in South Carolina without a license.

STOCKTON – The cremated remains of a child were stolen during a burglary at a north Stockton home, authorities said.
A woman called police at 2:12 p.m. Wednesday to report a burglary at her home in the 8000 block of Albany Drive, just north of East Hammer Lane, officers said. The burglar stole a large amount of clothing and a small blue velvet box, which contained a gray urn with the initials "ZT" on the front, police said. Inside the urn were the ashes of the woman's child, authorities said.

Found this today at the local aquarium,
Takifugu fasciatus, or "Obscure Puffer"
It is apparently a migratory fish local to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. They inhabit the bottom parts of the river and are omnivores.
They obviously like burrowing in the substrate - although appeared to be fairly active. The local area would be temperate to subtropical and freshwater to brackish. No mention as to max size, but these were at least 8".
Photos (c) me -- but not very good as (as is always the case) I didn't have my own camera handy.

Long before other states became the butt of national jokes about their hanging chads (Florida), crooked governors (Illinois) or latte loving lifestyle (California), there was New Jersey.
The Garden State existed in an alternative reality of Snookis and Guidos on MTV's "Jersey Shore," with mobbed up Sopranos in velour track suits and big hair as far as the eye could see. Then Hurricane Sandy struck the state in October -- leaving at least six dead in a wide swath of destruction -- and suddenly real life in New Jersey didn't seem so funny.
It took weeks to restore power to much of the state, and with thousands of hurricane victims facing a cold, dark holiday season, a group of New Jersey expatriates from around the Bay Area have banded together to launch "A Very Jersey Xmas," a nationwide campaign for storm relief. Using Mountain View-based crowdfunding Web platform Fundly, organizers are throwing a party where revelers are encouraged to "Jersey up" Christmas in the guise of their favorite Jersey character (such as Bruce Springsteen, Tony Soprano or Queen Latifah).
A Chris Christie impersonator is expected. The faux governor is rumored to be in seclusion -- carbo loading.
Terrifying sight
Like Christie, the state's corpulent capo, New Jersey is big boned. Eight million residents and a lot of hair spray make it the most densely populated -- and in many ways stickiest to leave -- state in the nation. "It means you have these intense, shared experiences," explained Jersey transplant Pat Reilly, a publicist who served as Willie Brown's press secretary when he ran for mayor of San Francisco and now is spearheading the effort to raise funds. "Watching Sandy bear down on my friends and family, on my state, was terrifying."
She's from Bloomfield, which Reilly described as "five miles long, two miles wide, with 20 pizza parlors. And I probably worked at 10 of them." Like many Jerseyites, she spent summers at the shore, where the hurricane ripped up miles of historic boardwalk. "For me, seeing the Seaside Heights rollercoaster in the Atlantic was like seeing the Golden Gate Bridge in the Pacific," she said. "That boardwalk is a landmark that almost defines what it means to be from Jersey. I lost my retainer on that rollercoaster back in 1979."
Jim Gold, who is going old school to the party as Hoboken native Frank Sinatra, grew up in Montclair, N.J., before moving to the Bay Area to work at SAP Labs in Palo Alto. "There's a sense of horror and helplessness seeing it from 3,000 miles away," he said. "I spent countless hours on the boardwalk at places that are now underwater, places that are iconic for so many of us."
Bill Clerico, the 27-year-old CEO of Palo Alto startup WePay, rallied to support his home state after returning from a Thanksgiving visit there. "It's crazy," Clerico said. "You drive through places like Seabright, and it's like driving through a canyon -- there's debris piled on either side of the road. Growing up in that area, the ocean was what we did every day during summer, we'd be down at the beach club. And all those places are gone, or changed forever."
Wider reach
Reilly said fundraising efforts like "A Very Jersey Xmas" weren't possible even five years ago, but crowdfunding sites like Fundly -- powered by WePay -- have allowed small nonprofits and short-term relief efforts like hers to reach beyond a door-to-door donor base. "The idea is that a lot of people come together on the Internet to make something awesome happen," said Dave Boyce, CEO of Fundly. "With people's friends networks already assembled on the Internet, the ability to use those same networks to do something more than play virtual Scrabble has only become available in the last few years."
The superstorm also made landfall in New Jersey's neighboring state, New York, where national media make their homes. Boyce said that on the Fundly platform, fundraising for aid in the two states has probably run about 75 percent in favor of New York. "The devastation was similar," he said, "but (Jerseyites) haven't seen the same coverage."
That's true even though New York, unlike Jersey, is not a place inclined to think of itself as just "York." The organizers of "A Very Jersey Xmas" haven't hesitated to have fun with the stereotypes that once made their beloved state a bit of a joke.
"Part of being from New Jersey is you don't have that chip on your shoulder that New York does," Reilly explained. "What other state in the nation has so many characters who can be identified with one word? Snooki? Bruce? And I think that speaks to New Jersey's character. It's a state filled with real people who can take a joke."
Contact Bruce Newman at 408-920-5004. Follow him at Twitter.com/BruceNewmanTwit.
The party is at Temple Nightclub in San Francisco on Dec. 5 from 6 to 9 p.m. Donation levels range from $10 (the "Snooki") to $1,000 (the "Real Housewives of New Jersey"). Proceeds from the parties will go to the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund (http://fundly.com/very-jersey-christmas-sf).

Many times I tried the Forum Search engine but honestly - it doesn't works well
Is somebody out there who can explain why I - most of the time - get error messages like:
The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: dimension scale.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards.
common words??? ............... at least one word but not more than 14 characters??? .............................. PLEASE - can you teach the Database for the Forum what are really common words in combination with a CAD Software and kill or extend this limit of 14 characters. Or do I have to search on this way: dim* sca*
I (we) try to keep this Forum clean without asking 27 times the same question - but how do I know how many times this question was ask and answered?

A new lawsuit accuses police in the St. Louis County town of Ellisville of violating the rights of drivers by prosecuting those who flash headlights to warn other drivers of police presence and speed traps.
The American Civil Liberties Union said the lawsuit was filed Tuesday on behalf of Michael Elli.
In November, Elli flashed his headlights at oncoming traffic and was pulled over by an Ellisville officer. Elli was cited for flashing lights to warn of radar ahead. The charge was eventually dismissed.
The ACLU said the prosecution violates the driver's First Amendment right to free speech.
A message seeking comment from Ellisville's city attorney was not returned.

This week (download here), we discuss stretching. We discuss how and why we stretch. We discuss the different kinds of stretches that we perform before and after a run. We also dived into next week's topic – that is, balancing running and regular life. How does one maintain a healthy run/life balance?
Other discussion of note was the Daily Mile 40 mile November Challenge. We were invited to join this challenge and we think you should too. It will be a fun way to stay focused and engaged with the community.
We also received audio feedback from Jake (Run Like Health podcast). Jake left some good feedback on where to get affordable winter running gear such as tights.
Congratulations to all the New York City Marathon (NYCM) finishers and special congratulations to Megan (@veganrunningmom) for running an awesome race today. She finished 1st in her age group and she was the 9th woman overall!
This week's Twitter Search and Follow segment featured @Loic – a tech nerd who finished the NYCM. Congrats and you are welcome on the show for a race report at anytime! Fellow geeks, lets get a twitter campaign to get @Loic on – send him tweets and let's get him on! He is a great tech guy and it will be awesome to hear his thoughts on running (and also great for the show).
Until next time, leave feedback on iTunes, email questions and comments to feedback [at] GeeksInRunningShoes [dot] com or just 'like us' on facebook! Also follow us on Twitter, Jason (@guttocutwl) and Ray (@adeyemiking).
