A Certificate is a document which is earned by an individual against a significant effort either mentally or physically. Usually people get certificates when they complete a landmark in their education or achieve a performance level in their professional life. There are certificates like Employee of the Month/Year, Performance Recognition Certificate, Award Certificate etc that can fill the life of an employee with excitement and motivation to do more and more good work for his/her employer.

. We are from Los Angeles and were visiting London. and I needed socks that would wick away moisture as we walked all over London. Wore these with my shoes and I had no blisters on hot hot hot muggy days.

Needed to buy trainer socks and great to see black as well as white. I cannot wear ordinary socks so the low ankle is perfect. Also the two for one offer could not be ignored.

Well priced and warmer than they look. The only downside is that for my size feet 8 they take some getting used to putting them on, but am fine with them now.

Very stretchy, a good tight fit so they don't slip or move about

STOUGHTON, Wis., Sept. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Nelson Global Products, a manufacturer of fabricated high-performance vehicle exhaust and emissions equipment and systems, has entered a new phase of its rich history with the ribbon-cutting of a new headquarters campus including an extensive engineering and design center.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130930/CL88412)
Nelson has established Stoughton its home base since its founding in 1939.
The ceremony -- attended by Stoughton Mayor Donna Olson, Stoughton Chamber of Commerce and city development officials, and other members of Nelson's executive management team – was hosted by Tom Gosnell, president and CEO of Nelson.
In operation since early this year, the new $3.75 million headquarters consists of a 25,000-sq. ft. office building which encompasses the 100 employees and key departments including product design and engineering, marketing, sales, accounting and administrative support staffs. In another area of Stoughton, the company also opened an extensive testing facility for product development and performance validation.
"While Nelson is and will be an international company, Stoughton with its rich family-based community will always be our home and at the core of our business values. All of us -- especially the 100 persons in this complex -- place high value and appreciation on the efforts of the city to help our company and our employees stay here," said Gosnell.
"We at Wind Point Partners are proud of the progress the team at Nelson has made to grow our customer base, improve our manufacturing efficiency and enhance our standing in the community," said David Stott, director at Wind Point Partners. Nelson is a portfolio company of Wind Point Partners, a private equity firm in Chicago.
"Lead by our teams of people, our new headquarters has the same opportunity to impress all our visitors, much like our sales force presents to customers...a positive and friendly experience prefaced by learning more about our deep capabilities of serving customers," Gosnell added.
Nelson's vice president of Business Integration, Sue Vanderbilt, said. "We've made so much forward progress in improving our products' and services' quality and effectiveness to our growing customer base. It's a proud moment for all our futures."
Vanderbilt and Todd Kane, director of facilities, were responsible for the daily management and liaison of the headquarters project.
The building's themed lobby distinctly features distinct experiential items:
1. Who We Are - complete with mission and vision as well as the company's rich history and legacy;
2. What We Do - detailing the different exhaust-tubing products engineered and manufactured; and
3. Who We Work For - listing the key global customers of commercial vehicles in the market segments served: On-Highway Trucks, Off-Highway Vehicles, Outdoor power vehicles and specialty vehicles, and the related Aftermarkets.
Ground was broken for the campus in June 2012. Nelson partnered with Vogel Bros. Building Co. as its design/builder and Potter Lawson, Inc. for the facility design.
About Nelson Global Products
Based in Stoughton, WI, Nelson Global Products designs, manufactures, and markets a broad range of high performance exhaust products and tubing for OEM and aftermarket use for the global on-highway and off-highway markets. In the past three years, the company has acquired eight companies, with 15 plant locations, and almost 3,000 employees. The product portfolio includes: tube forming, acoustic management systems, exhaust structures, thermal management systems, emissions systems, pressurized tube assemblies for air-hydraulic-and-lubrication and ultimately structural assemblies, advanced metal forming, fluid transfer systems, and the related aftermarket parts.

Bodog Fight: webisodes this Tuesday and Saturday
Other Event News
MMA News Written by Arnold Lim - The Sushiboy
Tuesday, 20 November 2007
Tuesday, November 20 will be Scott Henze (20-9-2) and Steve Connelly (12-3), filmed September 29 in Evansville, Indiana. Henze was looking to rebound from a devastating loss to former Bodog Fight Welterweight Champion Eddie Alvarez, who KO'd the Indiana native in Costa Rica earlier this year. Conversely, Connelly, also from Indiana, came in riding a three-fight win streak.
"Connelly's a real character," says Bodog Fight Commissioner Jeff Osborne.
"He won the world face-sucking contest and appeared in the National Enquirer when he was just nine years old. He was able to suck his entire face in like an old man, mainly because he had no teeth."
Connelly fights under the nickname "No Sweat", but not because he takes it easy in the ring.
"He was born without sweat glands," says Osborne.
"Unfortunately, this means he can't cut weight the way most fighters do, by sweating off the pounds in the sauna. He has to do it the old-fashioned way - diet and exercise."
Don't miss a second episode of The Vault on Saturday, November 24, featuring Brazil's Marcus "Ossoduro" Vinicios (2-3) and Canada's Dave Pogson (0-1).
Filmed in 2006 at the PNE Agrodome in Vancouver, British Columbia, this middleweight bout drew oohs and ahhs from the crowd, with Vinicious showcasing the Brazilian art of capoeira.
"A lot of people think capoiera is not a fight, it's a dance," says the Brazilian. "But capoeira is everything your body needs to survive. If you need to punch somebody you gotta do it, if you need to tap somebody out, that's fine too."
Bodog Fight: The Vault offers streaming video of all-new never-before-seen fights each Tuesday and Saturday, commercial free. Each "webisode" is fully downloadable and iPod-ready, featuring a previously unaired bout from the Bodog Fight archives.
This exclusive Bodog TV footage is only available online at bodoglife.net/fight, twice honored at the 2007 Digital Marketing Awards.
This cutting-edge website will also provide fans of Bodog Fight with the latest information on where to catch the show when it returns to U.S. television for an all-new sixth season.
Yes, we will be back, bigger and better than ever in 2008!
Filmed in beautiful Vancouver, Canada, series six will showcase all-new fights, a fresh crop of fighters, and an informative new desk segment with hosts Paul "The Mauler" Lazenby and Bodog Fight commissioner Jeff Osborne.

Las Vegas Summer League Day 7: Studs, Duds
Day 7 of the Las Vegas Summer League is in the books, and we're going to take another look at some of the studs and duds for the day. Here they are for Thursday, July 19:
Damien Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers – Clearly the star of the day, Lillard dropped 31 points on 11-for-22 shooting from the field, but the highlight of his day was a nasty dunk on Atlanta's Keith Benson. That got the Cox Pavilion crowd pretty excited about the proceedings, and Lillard's fine performance—which included 7 assists—helped fuel the Blazers to an 84-78 win. Fellow rookie Meyers Leonard chipped in 9 points and 13 rebounds, as well, looking strong in the post and very good on the offensive glass.
Thomas Robinson, Sacramento Kings – Considering Robinson made the Duds list for Day 6, it was nice to see him turn it around with 15 points and 16 boards on Thursday. He got some easy shots around the basket, but still only shot 6-for-14, which is a little disconcerting considering the competition. He was a double-double machine in college, and this was a nice step in seeing some of that ability translate over in his transition to the NBA, though it would be nice to see those flashes with a little more consistency.
Derrick Williams, Minnesota Timberwolves – While Williams didn't shoot great from the field (6-for-14), he did score a game-high 23 points, including a ridiculous 11 free throws. Williams says he's down to 233 pounds (and still losing weight) thanks to his having trained with the same trainer who slimmed down Kevin Love, and that's obviously had a positive impact on his game. The way he dunked the ball today, he's definitely feeling lighter on his feet than last season.
Christian Eyenga, L.A. Lakers – He dunked, he hit shots, and he pushed his team to a win in this last Summer League game for the Lakers this year. That's a good game for the wildly athletic Christian Eyenga, who scored 22 points on 10-for-15 shooting from the field. He looked great, and with play like that he could get some more burn with the Lakers' second unit this year.
Tobias Harris, Milwaukee Bucks – Tobias Harris put in a heck of a game, scoring 21 points and grabbing 12 rebounds, but let the record show that it did come against the D-League Select team. Still, that stat line was one of the best of the day, and combined with John Henson's 15 points and 8 boards, the Bucks frontcourt had a pretty good night.
Terrence Ross, Toronto Raptors – Ross has had his shining moments in Summer League so far, but his game against the Knicks on Thursday wasn't one of them. He played only 17 minutes in the Raps' final game of the week, but in that time he shot only 2-for-8 for a measly 5 points. At least his team won, thanks in large part to Ben Uzoh's team-high 16 points.
Fab Melo, Boston Celtics – To be fair, Melo left the game in the third quarter after injuring his hand on Thomas Robinson during a strong post move by the Sacramento rookie, but his 13 minutes of playing time were not productive, as he didn't score at all and really only showed up in the score book with a block, a foul, and a few rebounds.
Hilton Armstrong, L.A. Clippers – The Clippers signing Ryan Hollins didn't boost Armstrong's chances of getting a spot on the team, but Hilton really didn't help his case on Thursday by putting up a 4-point, 6-rebound effort for L.A.'s Summer League team. He played all last season with a team in France after spending his first several years of professional ball with NBA teams, and with numbers like that it's going to be hard to convince teams to get him back into the league.
Check back tomorrow for plenty more of the latest from Summer League. Just because the week is winding down doesn't mean we're done keeping you on top of everything that's going on out there. There are plenty of more studs and duds to come.

Customizing SMF > Graphics and Templates
Smilies updated
Daniel D.:
I don't have problems to see the pics and classify them, but it was faster with the old ones. It's hard to describe... :-[ The cheeks (?) are too dark if I compare them to the eyes/mouth etc. Orange (Dark yellow) and brown are a good team, but you can't use them in this tone for the smilies.
It's a problem with the colors - I don't know how to explain it, it deals with the ease of a visitor to classify them or to look at a (HTML) page. I think I don't have to write an essay about it, but you should build the forum in a way that you can read it as easy as possible. Damn, that's not easy to write (even if I would use german).
Daniel D.:
Is there one day in the year where you not taking drugs ? :P

Take a Look at This
Many times when a patient presents for care, they have a specific problem they want to address.
How Upper-Trap Weakness Contributes to Neck Pain, Nerve Root Pain and Shoulder Impingement
Most of us focus on the shoulder that is elevated, the obvious overactivity of the levator scapula, and the problems that creates. But few of us even look for the shoulder that is depressed and downwardly rotated.
Mood and Burnout (Pt. 2): Manage Overwhelm by Building Capacity
We hear the language all the time: "I'm burned out." People say this when they're working long hours, in the midst of a seemingly never-ending project, sandwiched between caring for teenagers and elderly parents simultaneously; or – most often – when referring to their careers in general.
Hip Joint Health and Postural Support
Mobility for normal daily functions depends largely on the health and integrity of the hips. As the mechanical hub for the lower extremities, the ball-and-socket joint of the hip is very stable. It is injured less often than the shoulder, knee and ankle.
The Diagnosis Detective: Determining and Treating the Cause
Over the years, I have equated what we do as chiropractors during our clinical evaluations to being "diagnosis detectives." In my practice, evaluating an injury like a detective would examine a crime scene has proven to be one of my most successful clinical habits.
The Lateral Subsystem and Lower Extremity Pain
Human locomotion is an incredible demonstration of muscle activation, timing, sequencing and patterning. The very idea that we can stand upright and put one foot in front of the other to get from point A to point B without falling down is miraculous.
Unlocking Secrets of the Pelvis (Pt. 3)
In part 1 of this series [Aug. 15 issue], we began to identify the many asymmetries human beings are all born with and detail how these asymmetries, when they become excessive or unchecked, can create a cascade of imbalance in every system of our body, resulting in dysfunction, pain, degeneration and eventually disease.
Patellofemoral Pain: Fascial and Exercise Treatment
I recently had a male high-school senior come in who was having some patellofemoral pain, as well as some distal iliotibial band (ITB) pain. He had just started end-of-summer training to play high-school football.

I think it would be helpful for the readers if you could list the sections and pages that you found …Read Morethese references.
From my understanding, the references to alcohol prohibition pertain to the parcels within the 132 acres that have pre-existing Conservation Easements that have to remain intact. I believe there are listed "do not disturb" and "sensitive habitat" areas signed into conservation easements.
These do come with use restrictions that were part of the signing documents when the area was signed into the easements (probably long before the sale). This typically occurs when a piece of property is signed into a habit conservation plan.
These easements carry on in perpetuity regardless of transfer of ownership of the property.
There are many parcels throughout the County, owned by private and public entities that have such easements. In these cases, the actual land owners cannot make changes to these areas without approval by the easement holders, who in turn typically have oversight by the agencies responsible for the HCP, more than likely the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
I think the readers would benefit greatly by viewing the text.
One reason I typically stay away from these boards (especially in our town), is that there is a definitive divisiveness that exists; and both sides seem to have dug their heels in so deeply that neither side can acknowledge that there may be some points of concession and agreement on both sides.
It's like two people staring at each other through one-way glass, without the ability to occasionally look back in the other direction.

Ordered an iPad mini with retina from www.johnlewis.com and paid for next day delivery. I ordered at 8:30 am and did not receive a dispatch email that day, so I got worried when I read many bad reviews. However I needn't of worried as I received the email with a tracking number at 12:50 am the next day. Received the iPad later that day and could not be happier with it and John Lewis's service.
Ordered 3 bracelets online and was told they would be available to pick them up today at my local waitrose store 'after 2 pm'. 25 mins before I was due to collect them...as I was on my way there, I receive an email saying they won't be available to collect and they will text me when they are. This is totally unacceptable to me. How can they just give 25 mins notice? I've been inconvenienced already and now I have to wait for them to tell me when they are ready! I think they are out of stock but still took my money...
It my first time using John Lewis online...I won't be using them again.
made a order, got them to price match, order delivered on time, price match paid back into my bank within days, second time i have used them, buy my tv's from them due to the 5 year guarantee
My husband purchased a good-quality Skagen watch for me from JL for my birthday November 2012. Within a few months it developed a fault, working only intermittently. I took it back to JL who suggested I get the battery checked by an independent jeweller, which I did (another car trip, more petrol). It wasn't the battery, so back to JL, who sent it off to the manufacturer in Europe, meaning I was without the watch for at least 6 weeks. Back to JL to collect repaired watch. Within the last couple of weeks, the watch developed the same fault. Back to JL. The assistant suggested it was the battery - again! I reminded her that I had already been through this process before, and she said that I should never have had the battery checked independently - even though I was advised by JL to do just that!! Unbelievable! I asked for a full refund as it was obvious to me that the watch was seriously faulty. This was refused - her reason being that the watch had to be sent back to the manufacturers THREE times before a refund would be granted! Not only that, but the so-called 'lifetime guarantee' stated on the purchase documentation did, in fact, expire either three or six months after purchase, (she wasn't 'sure') and therefore I was unable to claim on the guarantee either. Meanwhile, the clock was ticking (not, unfortunately, my watch), and half an hour had passed in an attempt to sort out this debacle. Shop floor managerial support was summoned as back-up but I stood my ground, and when it was quite obvious that I was not going to be fobbed off (excuse the pun), the assistant reluctantly called the manufacturers who immediately saw sense and agreed that I should be recompensed. I was then offered vouchers or a replacement. I politely refused and insisted on a full refund, as I knew was my right. Managerial staff disappeared leaving the assistant to deal grudgingly with my card refund. From her desk away from the counter she curtly ordered 'put your card in'. I waited for 'please'. It didn't come. She repeated it, without 'please'. And so I asked her to show her manners and say 'please'. She mumbled an apology as she shuffled paper around her safe-away-from-customer desk. The woman, may I add, was of senior age, like myself, and should have known better and shown good grace. Never have I been treated so disdainfully in a store. I am so disappointed in JL - like very many shoppers I returned expecting above-average customer care and I couldn't have been more wrong. I will never return to JL High Wycombe.
Seems something is amiss with their usual good service. Spent 40 mins on phone trying to order a Kindle. At every stage of order there appeared to be a problem and put on hold, After nearly 'losing the will to live' I was informed that the system had failed. Asked to be informed when resolved but apparently this was beyond their remit. Thought it strange and phoned back. The member of staff who answered was bemused by suggestion of a system failure. Order was eventually placed. Received order confirmation with delivery within five days. Week later I phoned and was told my order had been stopped by IT Dept., in his words 'this Kindle isn't going anywhere'. Not even a courtesy call to inform me of any problem. Like others on site I am a Partnership member who spends hundreds of pound a month in this group of stores. Unless JL 'buck up their ideas' they will lose many loyal customers!
I have been trying to buy a new laptop as mine broke and I have assessed assignments due in so I am in need of one ASAP. So far I have paid for 4 laptops, set day delivery, wracked up a bill from phoning them and I have receive two refunds, empty apologises and NO laptop. Seems I'm not the only one.
I decided to purchase an IPad Air from JohnLewis.com as they offered a 2 year guarantee. Apple was having their one day annual 'Black Friday' sale and JL was matching the deal (in theory) on line. After placing my first order I received a cancellation notice approximately one hour later. They cited it was due to the security check on my credit card. I tried calling customer service but gave up after being on hold for 20 minutes (0800 from mobile). Giving them the benefit of the doubt I decided to try purchasing again using my debit card, which is essentially cash. Precisely an hour later I got another cancellation. I called JL (at a cost on my mobile) and this time pressed 1 to place an order. Within a minute I was through to someone. They had a look and said the system didn't have a 'specific' reason as to why my card was rejected. Concerned, I called the bank. The bank informed me there was no issue and they had authorised the item. They provided me with an authorisation number to give JL (why their system doesn't have capability to insert the number the bank have given them I don't know). I then called JL back. Their customer service informed me there was nothing they could do and that both items had been cancelled and that if I tried again there was "no guarantee the same wouldn't happen again". They also informed me the department that cancels orders (sets up auto system) were off for the weekend. A reasonable person, I indicated I understand sometimes systems go wrong but given it was a one day sale item, could they then hold the item until Monday at the sale price. They could not do this. In fact there was nothing they could do. Furthermore I'd asked for the item to be sent to my local Waitrose for click and collect. They could have asked for identification from me there to prove my identity (it was my card) and I would have happily done so. At this point JL have now locked up over £1000 of my money, which according to the bank is in a holding account at JL's request. I had several other 'big' purchases I wanted to make over the weekend and now cannot. After 4 hours of frustration, I went directly to the Apple website and purchased the same item in 2 minutes....no issue. I can only speculate as to why John Lewis cancelled my orders but it would seem as though they don't really want to sell items they 'price match'. Why not just be honest? I've subsequently remembered the same happened to me last year with a Dyson product I tried to buy from them. Again they never could tell me what the issue was with the security of my account. Is it because of their extra warranty that items sold on price match don't pay out for them? They must factor this into the business model. Regardless, I will have them investigated and will stop shopping in their sister company Waitrose as a result. I have had no issue shopping for items over £500 on line anywhere else and if it really is just a case of their security I suggest they look at the system or at least empower their customer service team to resolve issues. In the end I'm glad they didn't get my business as I can only imagine how horrific their customer service would have been in relation to the extra warranty. Well done John Lewis, you've lost a customer for life.
After being a loyal customer for many years spending thousands of pounds, I will never ever buy anything from them again. I ordered a MacBook from them and paid extra to get it delivered on a Saturday as I work full time 9-5 through the week. Waited in all day on the Saturday.....no MacBook. My bank account however had been debited with£1000 however they claim the MacBook has been lost in between their warehouse and the courier firm....NOT MY FAULT!! But allegedly until they have investigated I can't get my money back despite it being lost hundreds of miles away. Am disgusted and furious!

To summarise them in a few words. They DO knowingly oversell. Customer services are so so and on some occasions are pretty crap. They tend to deliver on time. Email responses are often very delayed and don't answer everything you've asked for - like pulling teeth. I wouldn't recommend them, but they are better than the likes of Currys. I don't know why people rave about them.

I have order initially sony TV and was waiting wating waiting at last i had to cancel the order , funny thing one fine day delivery boy came knocking my door with TV, I said clearly that i cancelled TV which they took it back..
Being shamless i again trusted and placed an order(two different order on same day) for some premium shampos and soaps for CLICK and COLLECT and i got text message they it will be available next day to pick it from ruslip waitrose ..actual story started here , am keep on getting this messages on my phone that order will be ready to pick it up for next day and this is happening from last three days .
I will be flying in next couple days and am really mad at the service , what a pathetic service and i wish i would have order from actual provider..
JOHN LEWIS SHOULD START looking in the reviews and atleast improve service and if they can't they should not claim for what they can't handle..
We ordered a washing machine for delivery today between 7am and 2pm and I took the day off work in order to receive the delivery. We even paid an extra £19.95 for the so-called 'Express Delivery' service, because our old washing machine had broken down. By 2.15pm, the washing machine hadn't turned up so I called Customer Services. They told me the washing machine wouldn't be being delivered today due to a 'technical problem' with the order. Well, thanks very much for letting me know John Lewis! The soonest they can now deliver it is in 7 days time - so, not only will we be without a washing machine for 7 days, I will have to take another day off work in order to (hopefully) receive the delivery! What compensation have they offered me for this? A £15 gift voucher!!!!! FIFTEEN POUNDS!!! Are they for real?? I am absolutely appalled, especially with a company with supposedly excellent customer service.
What a shambles,ordered a rug ,it was too small so ordered a larger one and paid extra. they collected the rug and waited for the new one to arrive ...no rug. phoned them and no idea what was going on so did it all again. 2 weeks later TWO rugs come...was told it would be on the friday,no time given, waited in and got here at 8pm the delivery men take one away and tell me to check my bank account ...THE FIRST RUG IS NOT REFUNDED AND I HAVE BEEN CHARGED FOR TWO EXTRA RUGS....JOHN LEWIS HAVE £400 OF MY MONEY AT THE MOMENT.the new rug is covered in glue so also needs to go back . phoned on saturday and was told they would call me on monday ...no call. I call again and no one knows what the hell is going on .....no record of the order AAAAARRRRGGGHHHH. now waiting for them to investigate and ring back. I loved john lewis as it was so efficient .....i will never use them again
We will never order another item from John Lewis. The name used to mean something, and in a way, I suppose it still does - "shop here for shoddy service".
We ordered a washing machine 2 weeks ago, for delivery today. We saw this morning that the tracking said it was out for delivery, which was scheduled between 11am and 5pm. At a quarter to six we called customer services who claimed they'd tried to contact us as the item couldn't be delivered due to "manufacturing issues" - an odd claim since it was out for delivery.
You know it's bad when a company cares so little they can't even be bothered to lie convincingly to their customers.
We ordered a seat from Peter Jones, John Lewis on Kings Road. Waited 6 weeks for delivery for a small chair.
Given a delivery day, which happens to be today and told to be in-house 2pm-9pm.
They didn't turn up and at 9.15pm said they weren't coming as the delivery service had to work within "driver hours". My wife took half a day off waited in all day, no calls no nothing till 9.15pm. Simply outrageous. They then tried to get us to commit to stay in tomorrow afternoon. We have to argue with them to get a discount and a time which suited us. I would use caution with this service. I will not use this service or buy from Peter Jones again.

My husband bought me an Apple Mac Book on line as a surprise and collected via local Waitrose, all good so far. He bought this from JLP as his perception would be that the service should something go wrong would be impeccable, WRONG! To be honest I only wanted a laptop so when it totally died and would not power up after 6 weeks I wasn't too bothered. I assumed that JLP would either give me a replacement or our money back. When I took it the Trafford Centre Store I was treated like dirt. The lady who was allegedly helping me did not give a dam. She didn't make any eye contact she could hardly bring herself to speak to me she clearly wasn't bothered., she carried on doing something else on her PC the whole time. She actually told me to take it to the Apple shop but said "they could be hit and miss". Eventually they agreed to test my mac with one of the power leads, it was as if they were doing me such a favour! I left it and returned to the sour faces 30 mins later, when they told me rather smugly it was now working fine with my own lead. Why would I go to the shop an inconvenience if it hadn't been working? I wanted it to be returned for checking but they offered me nothing, still the bad attitude, no smiles no sorry for the inconvenience nothing, shameful customer service. I will not be buying anything again from JLP and I will ensure everyone I know and do business with is made aware that there is no additional benefit to buying Apple from JLP

John Lewus High Wycombe used to be a brilliant store until their recent "refurbishment". Yes, there are more items on display but nothing is in stock. Three times I have been there recently and none of the 6 items I wanted was available. The assistants replies was always "we can order it and it will be here in two days". I can do that sort of shopping on the internet and as a result I went to other stores in the area and John Lewis lost over £1000 of revenue.
Went to my local John Lewis store at the weekend to order a TV. Didn't have any available to take away and couldn't deliver for nearly two weeks. Decided to go home and order from their website. When I went online I discovered TV was £100 more expensive than their store price. Phoned the store first thing the next day just to make sure I hadn't got mixed up with price, but no I was correct, the website price was £100 more expensive. Phoned John Lewis Direct who said they would need to raise a price query with their pricing department. Took them two full days to come back to me confirming they would match their store price. I was told I would need to pay full price and they would refund the difference back to my credit card five days after I received the TV. So much for them saying that they are never undersold! You would think they would have altered their website price!
Anyway I ordered the TV and selected express delivery and paid £19.95 extra. Was told delivery would be between 7am to 2pm. Order didn't arrive and I phoned customer service. They couldn't care less. Was passed to six different people. Disgusting attitude. Couldn't care less. They said there had been a system error and that I would need to reorder the a TV and wait 7 days for delivery. Very unhelpful. No explanation at all to explain what had happened or why I had to reorder. I took the day off work to wait in for delivery that never arrived! This was a wedding present and this whole situation has left a bad memory of our special day in our minds.
I don't know where the TV is and all I have been informed is that they are looking into it! I hope it turns up soon!
My advice to anyone is never order from John Lewis Direct. The customer service is terrible and staff couldn't care less.

I am astonished that John Lewis don't get an average of at least 4.5 stars. I have bought maybe 20 different things from John Lewis over the last couple of years and have received nothing but excellent service. Any replacements or refunds were dealt with quickly. The guarantee is excellent, often better than other stores and more importantly fuss free. The quality of their own products is also exceptional and great value. I only wish they had a bigger range of items, so I don't sometimes have to buy what I want elsewhere.
I asked a lady who was attending customers in the shoe department if I could try on a pair of boots I liked in my size. I was told to "seat" and that someone will be with me soon. I really didn't like the tone of voice the lady used, I felt like a child being told what to do. The same lady came back with my boots, I tried them on and asked if she had anything similar to the once I was trying on. She wasn't very helpful, so I had another look round the shop and picked another 2 pairs to try on. When I asked if could try them on, lady said that they wouldn't fit me (I'm size 16) because they are very narrow. For a minute I thought we weren't speaking about the same shoes, but we were. I really don't mind an honest opinion when I shop, but that lady was just extremely rude; made feel me awful and made me drop a few tears. Instead of asking again, my partner and I decided to leave the shop and go somewhere else. I stopped at Dune on a way back to the car, and the pair of boots I really wanted to try on in Jl –I bought in Dune together with a pair of heels and a handbag. Oh well John Lewis, you lost yourself a £500 deal that day, and trust me I' disgusted with your customer service as this was the second time this happened to me (the same shop assistant in the shoe department, older mature lady with blond hair) and I'm not going to spend a single penny in the Aberdeen store ever again. The first time my sister in-law complained to the manger about the service we received from this small-minded lady, but obviously nothings has improved...
Like Mr Ashford i ordered online a 46" TV my 1st delivery slot available to me was 10 days wait, the time slot was 7am to 2 pm as i got held up in traffic i got in at 7:18 to find a calling card with a number on it. i called the number straight away only to have an answer machine message telling me they were shut until 8am.
Got through at 8am only to be told they dont deal with online deliveries and i had to call another number, why this number is on the calling card then is extremely poor for a company like this.
called the new number and was told that the time slot was 7am to 2pm like i was some sort of second class citizen, i told her that i wasn't that simple and i knew what the time slot was, i also said this never got confirmed by email like the website says, then the helpful bit came, she said she will call them to see if they can re-deliver today. after a 5 minute wait i was told the delivery was on the way back to the depot and they couldn't re-deliver today, not sure why as they deliver up until 9pm i then had to book another delivery slot and yet again it's a nine day wait. so by the time i get my goods they would have had my money for 19 days. why is it the customer is always out of pocket with these large companies.

It pains me to say how much I'm unhappy and disappointed with JL.com, because I like shopping at their stores.
I ordered an Elika Krea cooker hood and waited a week for a delivery day. I had to go out unexpectedly and the driver called when I was still 15 minutes away. He wasn't for waiting (why don't they give you a bit more notice?), but fair enough, my fault for not being in.
He gave me a number to call for re-delivery and I, foolishly thinking it would be a day or so, was shocked to find a) it couldn't be dropped for collection at the local store (why?, M&S can do it), and b) it would be another week. When I said can't you do a bit better, the lady said she would 'escalate' it to the planning team who would call me to prioritise the delivery.
OK so far, but when the call came a day later, I was told it would now be 10 days as more slots had been taken since my last call!
I cancelled the order and ordered from Boots Kitchen Appliances, who are brilliant (check their reviews versus JL).
It's up to JL.com whether they care about this stuff, but they have definitely lost a customer permanently. Too many others to buy from who do so much better.
Bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 in July 13 with a 2 year warranty included. It developed a catastrophic fault in early August 13; it just would not function. Contacted John Lewis Technical Help Line, what a joke! Ended up returning it to store, despite it being bought online. They sent it away for repair and it came back nearly a month later "unrepaired" Had to continually chase JL, got passed from pillar to post, trying to get an explanation of what "unrepaired" meant. They finally explained that "unrepaired" meant the item had a fault that was not covered under the manufacturers warranty. JL say the fault could have only occurred by the tablet being dropped; despite the fact that they gave me a receipt saying the Tablet was in "as new" condition, and I know it definitely had not been dropped.
JL point blank refused to resolve the issue with me, and left me no course of action other than to hand the complaint on to my solicitor. Guess what, despite my solicitor contacting them twice they have not done anything. Perhaps they will respond when we sue them.
Having spent close on £2000 at John Lewis Electrical over the last 18 months I am particularly upset at their response to a genuine customer service request. They have had nearly £340 of mine since July, for an item that was not fit for purpose and wants replacing. Would I recommend JL? Definitely not! Would I shop we them again? Definitely not! Is their warranty worth the paper it is written on? In this case I would say definitely not!!
Bought an excellent Toshiba Regza TV in 2010 when John Lewis still had a remnant of a reputation. Five year warranty too. A few weeks back it started playing up. Wouldn't switch on from standby (see google its a common fault and the excellent customer service team at TOSHIBA sort it instantly with a free software update sent out on memory stick) JL ignored my support request for a week, despite notification they respond within 24hrs! I never got any help until I started to complain. Then it was just one fiasco after another as one chump passed the problem onto another. I asked that my concerns be sent to head office as an official complaint. It never happened. Today I got an email from technical support saying they would like to send an engineer out and the TV could be away for 28days as they test it and make sure the repair works. What an utter waste of space. Who on earth could be without a TV for a month!!
I told them TOSHIBA had sorted the problem out with good old fashioned customer service and it was a common fault that if their dozy service engineers were any good would have known about already and flagged it up on the system as there have been thousands affected.
Needless to say they will never see any of my money again and it wont be long before we see yet another good old British brand bite the dust because chimps have taken over the asylum. What a waste.
BE WARNED they will take your money with a smile but the service wont be worth the paper its written on.
My husband and I are in the process of decorating and furnishing our new house. Having seen the G Plan vintage range of armchairs online (which are almost exclusively sold in JL) and really loving them, we went up have a closer look at the Blue water store yesterday. For a start, there were at least 6 customer service personal milling around, chatting about various things but none seemed interested in helping us at all. When we approached one lady she even said "oh can you ask someone else"?! Seriously. None of the chairs we wanted to see were in store so we couldn't see them anyway. Phoned around other stores myself today, they also didn't have any of the range on display and basically said they they were made to order and therefore probably not on any of the shop floors. Huh? Giving up on the idea even though I love the look of these armchairs, at nearly £800 each I do need to sit before I buy! I think G Plan need a new partner as their furniture is amazing but JL just aren't selling it.
Why we got a gift list with them god only knows!! Have to wait four weeks for delivery! They are really overpriced and staff are rude and you have to use 0845 numbers to speak to anyone. Wish we'd gone with debenhams or even argos!!
Paid extra for 4 hour timed slot. Was called to be told on their way, but when they arrived they made lots of poor excuses due to John Lewis policy they cannot remove the old washing machine or install the new one. Was told to call customer services to re-arrange the delivery and installation / removal. Have to wait another week for them to come again. What a waste of time. I will avoid buying from them again and use a local company instead.

I have tried to by a washing machine.
Something you need soon - 1 week delievery, pay more for 2 days, pay more for 2 hour slot, pay more to have installed, pay more to have old one taken away (approx £80 extra if you went for all).
Reluctanted ordered and booked for 10 days time. 2 days before - given a different date. Attempted to call customer relations - long story short - spoke to 6 people over 2 days, computer error, cannot override, cannot offer helpful time, cannot do anything.
Spoke to local service 5pm friday evening - will do a better machine for cheaper than JL, delivering for free the next day, will also install and take away the old one for free!!!
Buy local. AVOID JOHN LEWIS
It as been 1 week, since we ordered a parcel, and it as been 2 days that the company HERMES ( that works with John Lewis), should be delivering at my house, been watching the track number, they say that they have been trying now two days... and is just impossible, or they have a invisible van and a invisible delivery person, No one showed up.... but the report says it has..... been calling John Lewis and nothing... nobody can resolve this problem....need now with some urgency, and there is no way I am getting this parcel tomorrow, since the van is invisible!!!

Over the school summer holiday I started to re-decorate my office / spare bedroom before my holiday guests came and decided to order a day bed that would be the focal point from John Lewis.com. I ordered the item on 09/08/13 and within five days called customer services to order a swatch. I tried to do this online, but the item I had ordered had been removed from the website. Customer services were unable to get the swatch organised for me and told me that they were unable to get one from the manufacturer either. At the time I felt frustrated because I wanted to match my soft furnishings and paintwork for the room. I felt that no great effort had been made to assist me in this matter and at the end of my call started to reflect that the John Lewis experience was not meeting my expectations. I continued with the decoration of my room without the swatch and with guests arriving just after the 20 day delivery promise in the confidence that John Lewis would honor the contract to which we entered when I paid in full and the money was removed from my account.
Needless to say the item did not arrive within the time promised and that I was inconvenienced and unable to put up my guests as anticipated. I now have a room decorated specifically for this item and have now reached the unhappy point where I have cancelled the order because over the past three weeks I seem so to have been constantly phoning and chasing for the bed I designed the room around.
Last Thursday I thought I had reached a successful outcome when a customer service adviser told me that the bed could be delivered the following day. Sadly this was not convenient at such short notice. 40 or so days later and after much complaining I was told the delivery could come on Monday so took time off work but you guessed it.... the item did not arrive. I called customer services (again) who told me that the item had been cancelled and was not available from the distribution center. Also that it would be a further fortnight before shipping could be organised by the carrier because there were no other deliveries to our area.
So I have a room fully decorated to accommodate this item, guests who have been delayed and no day bed.
If it's urgent or important don't bother going to John Lewis.
I wasted so much time buying a laptop and printer from here, many journeys back and forth to return unsuitable (advised by John Lewis "trained" staff!!) products.
The staff who I dealt with (when you`re lucky enough to find someone available - grossly understaffed) constantly mis- informed me and sold me the wrong equipment. They did not seem to know about the products they were selling (even some of the basic things!). After returning a chrome book (not have been advised it works in a totally different system) and an equally unsuitable printer, I was then sold another laptop and a printer which are NOT compatible. This now has to be returned also. This is after asking advice about the products and being recommended these items and assured they were compatible.
The service was not acceptable with the staff generally badly informed, rushed and when I complained, not particularly polite.
Furthermore, I ended going to P.C. World for advice on the products which John Lewis had sold me! They offer a free half hour session to get you started with your new purchase. John Lewis do not. They do offer a free phone help line for a month, but I was not offered this when I bought my laptop/printer and was only told about it during my complaint to one of the managers. P.C. World were also offering Windows Office for £20 less if you purchased it at the same time as a laptop/P.C. John Lewis did not offer that although when I pointed it out to them they did do a price match.
I don`t know what has happened with John Lewis but they do not inspire the same confidence that they once did. Staff who knew their department inside out and were known for their excellent customer service.
I, for one will not ever buy any electrical good there again. Nothing but aggravation.
Every single time I go to John Lewis, I spend a hour or so in the baby section looking and high chairs etc etc but when ever I go to buy something they say "ooo no that's not in stock. Do you want us to order it for you?"
Then they just go on the johnlewis.co.uk website and order it.... I may as well have shopped online!
Other than that they're pretty good!
I have had nothing but bad experiences recently with John Lewis They have lost the plot. I have several complaints, a bin of the wrong colour and a response in 10 minutes, I am still waiting. A Tv with a used dongle, a computer that was ordered in Oxford st for delivery to Brent Cross. When we arrived complete with reference and correct time, the computer had not arrived. A camera bought for my birthday when opened had been dropped and damaged, a call to the store could not resolve the situation and I was TOLD to return it. I could go on. I have walked and bought my washing machine from Appliances online same guarantee and 1p cheaper.
Ikea now give better service than JOHN LEWIS.
My wife and I got married in July and used JL.com for our wedding list. We also just bought our first flat and bought some of our furniture in store to be delivered. In short, we've had a terrible time dealing with their delivery service. They give you very wide ranging hourly slots which is understandable, but we've had a bed delivered twice now which has been damaged. The second time the delivery guys even thought it was a joke. When they have delivered our wedding items, they left certain products out meaning that we had to take time off of work to have more boxes delivered. All of this is solvable from a company point of view, so I hope that they work harder to iron these problems out or I will continue to shop elsewhere.
Had a problem with an click & collect order that had gone awol at a local branch of Waitrose. A replacement was with me at my door the following morning. Customer services were apologetic and determined to correct the problem. A joy to deal with.
I had my new home refurbished. John Lewis kitchen planner was excellent, Can't fault but the fitter was awful. JL don't use their own people any more. Several repeat visits needed for crooked drawers, visible wiring, poor line up, but still left with a badly scratched sink where fitter poured silicone sealer across whole base and was hard to remove and stained cupboard base. I was told 'what do you expect for a budget kitchen?' [£15 000]
In addition I paid £50 to have a dampness test for my floor prior to Amtico being laid. this was not done and caused delay. JL could not admit error or apologise. [or refund!] I had just paid £1000 to have my stored furniture delivered and no where to put it. I was told I needed door lintels and extra scree [an extra £1400]. Floor prep men threw / hid all the broken Marley tiles under the kitchen units. I had to clear this up and had an asthma attack from the toxic dust.
Fitter [excellent] didn't need to put in lintels and told me to tell JL . Answer 'Oh the cost was taken up with extra scree.'
Not according to fitter but it was arranged over the 'phone and I had nothing in writing. JL guy getting his own back. because I complained At the end of the day it has cost them money. I promptly cancelled a big soft furnishing order.

Ordered a bed and stayed in all afternoon waiting for the delivery - it didn't arrive. Called customer service who offered no explanation and said they could arrange a re-order date in 8 days time or if I paid £16 they could deliver in 4 days. When I complained the assistant said there was nothing she could do as it wasn't their fault!!???
Paying for lunch. John Lewis card declined. Try again declined. Queue of people. Embarrassment. Phone JL. Computer voice insists enter card number and answer two security questions. Takes time keying into mobile, computer announces passed security and in queue. Advisor answers and wants to security check again. Ask what point of computer security check if advisor repeats? She blanks question three times. OK answer her questions. She explains a letter has been returned to them so they stopped my card until I confirm my address. Text me or phone me with your question yes, but stop my card and wait until I'm at the front of a queue and card declined so I phone you?! How incredibly lazy and rude. Not anti-fraud would have contacted me to check previous payments not fraudulent. I said I was cancelling my card, but advisor said I couldn't as I had to phone a different number to do that! Sums up John Lewis Credit Card. Must be better??
Organised a day to take my daughter to John Lewis for her 21st birthday present 3hour round trip from My home to theNorwich store.She chose her sewing machine with a rushed shop assistant who picked up a card and gave it to a checkout lady,few extra bits and bobs added on the bill, but the machine was not in stock, supervised by staff as the checkout lady was new,what a mess that was, then the supervisor had to leave so someone else stepped in. Went home 3days later delivery arrived wrong machine, phoned them they wanted me to drive it back to the shop because the delivery was parcel force not their van, confused at this point as it was so far for me to travel and they made the mistake. they also said if I wanted the other machine they would not let me pay the difference I had to pay in full for the machine to be delivered. So I payed £249.00 for the correct machine. they would not organise for the wrong one to be picked up at the same time so i had to phone to organise that. I was out of pocket for two expensive machines, I have phoned 10 times now at(£1.54 a min)the unwanted machine was picked up over two weeks ago I have had 4 reference numbers and still no one has contacted me to refund my money ahhhh £219.00 of my money John Lewis has still got.
I ordered bridesmaid dresses and accessories and it was it was great experience for me. I could have made life easier for myself though....all the items went into the sale a few days later - so I reordered the same in the sale and returned the full price items for a refund. When I phoned John Lewis they said I should have called and they would have refunded the difference to save the extra work I created for myself. I thought that was quite good!! No problems with ordering or returns...actually one refund didn't appear so I rang customer services and they applied the refund straight away! I've knocked off 1 star for having to ring them for that missing refund, otherwise a positive shopping experience.
Ordered a washing machine. There was a problem with getting authorisation on my card. John Lewis said it was my bank but my bank confirmed that the payment had been sent to them. I told John Lewis to cancel my order as I was sick of getting passed from person to person only to be told something different every time. They assured me that no payment had been taken but on checking my bank account I could see that the money was gone. Now I can't get them to speak to me. They just sit in silence whilst I rant and then lie to me. So the upshot is that I don't have a washing machine and I don't have the money in my bank account to go and buy another from somewhere else. I have no idea when the money will go back into my account because I keep getting told different things. When I try to drill down into the detail they just tell more lies! I thought I was shopping at a quality retailer. How wrong I was. I had never used John Lewis before and I sure as heck won't shop with them again. This has to be one of the most traumatic shopping experiences I have ever had in my life!

My new favorite tea to assist with my muscle/joints! Get Limbered has the typical light flavor of green rooibos with hints of exotic herbs that are not too over-powering for my taste. I must say, I have tried other similar teas and this one seems most pleasant as well as effective! |

I am training for a marathon and I drink this tea after my long runs. It helps my poor aching joints after hard exercise. When I first opened the tin and smelled the tea bags I started sneezing, there seems to be a lot of pepper in this! The flavor is very spicy but it is not overwhelming. |

It's a rare but life-threatening infection spread to humans by tiny ticks encountered in the woods or backyard gardens. And this summer, a Powassan virus health scare in the U.S. prompted a New York senator, American medical authorities and even the New York Times to warn of an urgent need for better research, prevention and treatment strategies to combat a pathogen that's on the rise — perhaps due to climate change — throughout the Great Lakes region.
But the virus that grabbed headlines south of the border in August has a tragic Canadian connection that explains its name and still haunts a Northern Ontario family that, in 1958, suffered the sudden loss of a four-year-old son and brother from what was then an unknown infectious agent.
At the same time, however, the child's death gave science what remains its key weapon against the virus: a test developed by Canadian microbiologists to identify the deadly organism, which attacks the central nervous system and can cause fatal or crippling encephalitis — brain swelling — in about 30 per cent of those who develop symptoms.
For more than 50 years, the first documented victim of the disease — a preschooler from Powassan, Ont., a small town about 20 kilometres south of North Bay — has been referenced only anonymously in medical reports and scientific journals. In keeping with privacy rules, medical investigators kept descriptions of the boy and his final days clinically bare: "During the afternoon of the fourth day after onset," noted the landmark 1959 study that announced the isolation of the Powassan virus, "the patient suddenly stopped breathing. He was placed immediately in an artificial respirator. Spontaneous respiration did not recommence … ."
But now, the boy's 65-year-old sister — just 10 at the time of her brother's death — has spoken publicly for the first time about the anguish of a family tragedy now immortalized in the name of a fatal infection, one now expected to appear in more headlines in the coming years.
And when Sue Cossar remembers the September 1958 passing of her little brother, Lincoln Brian Byers, her words convey an enduring grief, but also a hint of solace that doctors — while initially confounded by the boy's death — were able to discover, at least, what took his life.
"He was an amazing little guy," said Cossar, who was second-youngest of the nine Byers children and had a special fondness for Lincoln, next in line and the "baby" of the family.
"He loved picking berries," she said. "He was a really good kid. It was very hard on my Mom and Dad."
Mom and Dad are both gone now. But in 1958, the family lived on a farm about 12 kilometres west of Powassan, a property still owned by one of Cossar's older brothers. Lincoln, she recalled, loved animals and thrived in the rural setting: "We always said he was too good of a kid. We always grumbled that we had too many chores, but he was always out in the barn."
The first sign of trouble came on a late-summer afternoon, Sept. 17. "I remember him going to the barn with the boys — with my two older brothers. And they brought him up from the barn because his eyes had started twitching. He couldn't control his eyes."
Lincoln was taken to the family doctor in Powassan. "Dr. (J.E.) Dillane — I don't know how — he knew right away. He told Mom and Dad: 'You get him to Sick Kids' Hospital as quick as you can.' "
In those days, it was at least a six-hour drive to Toronto's renowned Hospital for Sick Children. "They took him down that night," Cossar said. "Two days later he went into a coma — I think that was on a Tuesday. By the Friday, he had died. It was very traumatic … ."
Dr. Donald McLean, a Sick Kids physician and medical researcher specializing in microbiology, along with his colleague, Dr. W.L. Donohue, had tracked Lincoln's deteriorating condition and sought permission from the Byers family for an autopsy. The two doctors detected an anomalous inflammation in the boy's brain tissue that would come to define a strain of virus new to the medical world.
The course of Lincoln's illness was summarized in a May 1959 article by McLean and Donohue in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
"Twelve hours before admission the child's mother noticed blinking of his left eyelids," the study stated, "and his eyes moved rhythmically to the left. His father noted some tremor and unsteadiness of the boy's left arm. The child complained of dizziness … ."
By the time he'd reached Toronto, Lincoln had a "right-sided headache" and a rising fever. Two days later, "neck stiffness was noted for the first time," his temperature soared and the boy's increasing drowsiness deepened into a coma. He died on Sept. 23, 1958.
McLean and Donohue discovered, under the microscope, inflamed cerebral tissue and "degenerating nerve cells." Later experiments with mice exposed to the infection confirmed Lincoln had died from a newly identified viral pathogen: Powassan virus.
Cossar recalls how McLean and his colleagues then travelled to Powassan and surrounding areas to conduct an emergency research study to learn more about the virus that had killed Lincoln. Park rangers and other outdoor workers were tested, but the Byers farm was ground zero for the medical probe.
The researchers found a high concentration of virus-carrying ticks in some squirrels in the area. The findings appeared in later editions of the CMAJ, which once called McLean a "talented tick-hunter" and documented his success in profiling the presence of Powassan virus in ticks found on squirrels and other small mammals at various sites in Canada and the U.S. His findings even prompted a front-page story in the Globe and Mail in February 1960.
"My brothers, they would catch squirrels — and this is what the doctors figured had happened," Cossar said. "They would skin these squirrels. And Lincoln would hold them while they were skinning these squirrels. And this Dr. McLean from Toronto figured it was a tick that, you know, had bitten him."
The illness has remained relatively low on North America's public-health radar over the years. But a severe case in northern New York this summer and new studies showing a greater-than-expected reservoir of the virus in Hudson Valley ticks led the state's senior lawmaker in Washington, Sen. Charles Schumer, to declare war in August on the "emerging Powassan virus threat." Schumer also pressed the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to do more to fight all tick-borne illnesses, including the more common but less virulent Lyme disease.
"The need for more research is clear and compelling. We need to bring Lyme disease and the Powassan virus out of the weeds and better educate the public about how to keep themselves and their families safe," Schumer said at the time.
The Times later editorialized in support of a stepped-up public-health strategy to fight Powassan virus. Lyme disease may be well known, the paper said, but "what most don't know is that the same family of black-legged ticks can also cause other diseases that are even more dangerous."
A CDCP study published in 2012 showed only 47 reported cases of Powassan virus since 2001 across the U.S., but nearly all occurred in the last half of the decade — mostly in the northern states of Minnesota, Wisconsin and New York.
While mild symptoms can be treated, there's no known cure when the virus takes strong hold of a victim, and the ratio of deaths to total cases — compared with other tick-borne illnesses — is extremely high. Five of 15 people in New York diagnosed with Powassan virus have died since 2004.
According to the Saskatoon-based Canadian Co-operative Wildlife Health Centre, Powassan virus has been diagnosed in people in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick. As in the U.S., the virus is fatal or leaves victims with debilitating effects in about one-third of all cases, though the number of documented cases is smaller in this country.
Ticks are most active between late spring and early fall, and experts have warned that climate change could increase the incidence of Powassan virus and other infections spread by ticks in northeastern North America.
A U.S. study published in the September issue of the CDCP's Emerging Infectious Diseases journal noted that "because no vaccines or effective antiviral agents exist" to fight the virus, people should, above all, "take precautions to prevent tick bites" — wear light-coloured clothing with long sleeves and pants tucked into socks, use insect repellent and check themselves and pets for ticks after being outside.
The study also noted that doctors should become more familiar with the Powassan virus "because this disease is likely to increase in areas to which it is endemic."
Last week, the U.S.-based pest-control company Terminix also pointed to rising concerns about the Powassan virus to urge the public to take steps to avoid tick bites, including the possible use of backyard insecticides.
The thought of the virus becoming more common, said Cossar, is worrying: "It gives me goosebumps."
The recent public alarms about the infection contrast with the decades of quiet sorrow the Byers family endured following Lincoln's death. But Cossar recalls one other time, many years ago, when memories of her lost brother were stirred by talk of the Powassan virus.
She was working at a store in Powassan when a Toronto doctor and his wife dropped in to shop. They began discussing the link between the town's name and the viral infection. The place, Cossar remembers the man saying, " 'is well known for the Powassan virus. It was the disease that killed a young boy here.'
"So this was just out of the blue," she said. "I'd never heard anybody talk about it before. And it was a weird feeling. This was my brother that he was talking about."

6 cups cabbage, shredded
1 carrot, shredded
1/2 cup fresh bean sprouts
1 celery stalk, diced
2 tablespoons chopped onion (optional)
1 (4 ounce) can shrimp, drained
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
black pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten
20 egg roll wrappers
vegetable oil for frying
These are the best egg rolls ever! I fried some and baked some in the oven at 400 F for 30 min.
Amazing, though I think it was lacking in something. Next time I think I'll add some oyster sauce or something like that.

these came out tasting JUST like egg rolls you get from a chinese restaurant! i added a little imitation crab, but other than that followed the recipe. i also didnt fry at the end, i brushed with olive oil and broiled them for about 5 min and they got crispy on both sides. didnt feel like the mess of frying. they were still great!
Very good family liked them! to save time i used the cabbage and carrots that come in the bag for coleslaw! Saved me a lot of time and clean up!
This recipe turned out great. It was easy to make and everyone loved it! It says 8 servings, but this made 16 egg rolls to be exact!
These Eggrolls are very GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!ROUVER ROCKS!!!
These were not bad, but we did not prefer the taste of the shrimp; it seemed to overpower the entire roll. I'll probably try this again sometime using chicken.
These egg rolls were De-lish! My husband and I fought over the last ones! Definatly a recipie I have passed on!
