It was a beautiful day Saturday morning. A little foggy at first, but that had burned off my the time the start of the race at 8:00 am. I grabbed my racing bib and shirt that came with my registration. I really liked the shirts for The Ready or Not 5K this year. They were technical tees this year and bright orange with the name of the race on the front of the shirt and all of the sponsors on the back. I will defiantly wear this shirt for my next race.
I started to stretch about a half-an-hour before the race and then went for a warm-up jog. I met some of my fellow runners from the Kalamazoo Area Runners and my friend Lars and we chatted about our goals for our race and how everything has been going since we last talked.
We all lined up at the start line a couple of minutes before the race. I lined up a couple of rows behind all of the Otsego high school runners since most of them are a little faster than me. The horn sounded and we were off.
I got off to a slow start the first 200 meters and then turned on the jets and tried to catch the pack in front of me, but I fell a little short and they started to pull away from me as we approached the mile mark. I hadn't raced in a couple of weeks and I could feel it as I became somewhat winded. My first mile time was 6:10 so it was a good time.
The second mile was a struggle to run and I did my best to keep the runners that were in front in sight. I focused on that to keep my mind off me being tired. I hadn't had a really good week of running. I was unable to finish my interval workout because I became really tired and winded after eight 400m intervals. Then my easy runs felt hard even though I was running easy times.
I had caught my second wind by the last mile and I was using the energy I had left in me to push myself to the end and to keep my legs kicking. With about a half mile to go in the race one of the high school runners tripped and fell about 50m in front of me. I started to slow down to help him up, but his friend had helped him up and we all continued to the end.
I crossed the line with a time of 20:24 another good time for me and I finished 2nd in my age group. My friend Lars was not too far behind me with a time of 20:58. He broke his goal of 21 min, got his best time ever, and he finished 3rd in his age group. Lars told me he kept an eye on my bright neon green shirt I had worn that day. I'm glad I could help out.
Steve Long always does a good job putting on this event to help support the Otsego Running Club. His son even finished second in his age group which was a great thrill for him. I cannot wait to run this event again next year.

Deer hunting may be long over for this year, but I came across this deer meat guide and the what's what of a deer when it comes to butchering.
When I go hunting I always remember the days with my Grandpa, my dad, and I spending hours cutting up the deer we got. Good memories.. I even learned a few things from this guide.
Check out the deer meat guide here.
The page also features how to properly field dress a deer, and a butcher who skinned a deer in under two minutes! Pretty impressive!
Good luck on the hunt!

Saturday night's annual preseason battle between the Giants and Jets at MetLife Stadium always has a lot on the line for Big Blue and Gang Green fans, but this season fans of both teams are extra excited.
For the first time Super Bowl XLVIII (48) will be played at MetLife Stadium.
A lot of excited fans were at MetLife Stadium Saturday night and although football season hasn't even officially begun, many fans already have their eye on the Super Bowl
When it comes to tailgating the weather didn't get much better than this and neither does the food -- so much so many couldn't resist when offered some.
Making this day even better -- two of New York's best playing against each other at their shared home in Meadowlands.
The New York Giants hosted the New York Jets Saturday at MetLife Stadium in the third preseason game for each team. Couple Joe and Lindsay root for different teams so Fox 5 had to ask – if they get married what are you going to do?
"The kids will definitely be raised Giants fans to the best of my ability," said Joe.
"They'll be half and half," said Lindsay.
Not up for debate is the NFL's new security policy that basically says your bag either has to be clear or very small.
"I left my bag home. I just threw everything in my pockets," said one Giants fan.
"What I did is I put it in another bag so it doesn't all spill out. I mean, if it protects us I guess its ok," added another Giants fan.
Despite being months away, fans are already talking about the Super Bowl which will be played at MetLife Stadium.
"I hope the Jets are going to be in it, seriously," said one diehard Jets fan.
"Super Bowl 2014, Gino Smith," added another.
That's right Super Bowl predictions are already being made from both sides.

Floral One Shoulder Chiffon Maternity Dress Style 261208D 10 10
Not pregnant and it was perfect I loved this dress and even though I am not pregnant I took the chance of ordering it online! It was perfect for an outdoor wedding. I am 5'10 and was worried about the legnth...it too was perfect...I only had to have it altered at the bust and the strap tightened. It was 99 degrees and I could not imagine having a heavier dress! March 6, 2012
Not what I expected I saw this dress online and read the wonderful reviews and ordered it immediately for a wedding that was re-scheduled to an earlier date because we found out we were expecting. When the dress arrived, I was shocked. It was 100% see through throughout the skirt and looked very cheap. It got worse once I tried the dress on. I hated it and I didnt think it was even worth getting altered to see if I could make it work. The top portion was made very awkardly and did not look flattering at all. I panicked and started shopping around in stores. I settled on an off-the-rack dress at a Davids Bridal store; and returned this one immediately. The return process was fairly painless though, and everything worked out. I can see this dress working for a petite expecting bride that needed a VERY casual dress. Otherwise, I wouldnt recommend it. February 29, 2012
Couldn't have picked a better dress!! This dress was very easy to size and order and I just needed to have a few small darts put in on the right side that didn't have the flowered strap just to make sure it could support the ladies and had it hemmed since I'm only 5'4". I loved it on the hanger when it arrived and I loved it more when I tried it on!! I couldn't have picked a better dress for my special day and I highly recommend this dress to anyone, whether they are expecting a little one or not. August 16, 2011
Perfect I wore this at 8 months pregnant to our small wedding ceremony at the JP. This is the second marriage for both of us, and with me being so far along in my pregnancy, this really was the perfect choice. I was pleasantly surprised how well it fit since my boobs were huge. I actually ended up needing it altered at the bust area. I actually felt really pretty - even with a huge belly. July 15, 2011

Space Expedition Corporation says that Sir Bob Geldof will be an astronaut on an upcoming flight to space.
The singer, philanthropist and Nobel Price nominee says he was offered the trip as a birthday gift.
"Being the first Irishman in space is not only a fantastic honor but pretty mind-blowing, Geldof says. "The first rock astronaut space rat! Elvis may have left the building but Bob Geldof will have left the planet!"
SXC Founder Michiel Mol says, "He is an icon of social responsibility and in projects like Live Aid, he proved that entertainment and meaningfulness can be a great combination."
Geldof will be undertaking his first step of training in the space flight simulator based in the Netherlands September 26, 2013. He says he's not even a fan of roller coasters.
SXC is planning to launch 100 people into space next year. The launch will take passengers 62 miles into space.
It is charging $100,000 a ticket for the initial flight. It is unclear if Geldof will be on that flight.

Phoenix police said they are looking for a Phoenix woman and her toddler who disappeared Saturday night following an aggravated assault incident.
The alleged victims are identified as 19-year-old Jazmine and her daughter, Trina.
No last names were provided.
"I'm concerned for her safety. I'm concerned for her health. I'm concerned for her life and my niece's life,"said an emotional Jacqueline Stevens.
She tells CBS5 her niece Jazmine and great-niece Trina came to live with her three weeks ago.
"We were supposed to, you know, get her help and get her on her feet and try to get her away from him," Steven said referring to Jazmine's estranged boyfriend, 29-year-old Juan Francisco Alvarado-Meza.
Phoenix police Sgt. Steve Martos said Alvarado-Meza and another man forced their way into Steven's apartment, near 36th and Van Buren streets, around 8:00 Saturday night.
"He's a violent, violent person," Stevens said about Alvarado-Meza.
She said Alvarado-Meza brutally beat her male friend who tried to stop the men from taking Jazmine and Trina.
The friend was knocked unconscious.
When he awoke, Jazmine and Trina were gone.
Police said they do not know if they left voluntarily, but Stevens said she has no doubt Jazmine and Trina were taken against their will.
Martos said they're seeking Alvarado-Meza on a charge of aggravated assault.
He's described as a Hispanic man with a large tattoo on his upper chest and shoulder.
Jazmine was last seen wearing a black tank top and black basketball shorts with a white stripe.
Trina was wearing a pink T-shirt and pink camouflage pants.
Police have not identified the second suspect.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Phoenix Police Department at 602-262-6141.
Those wishing to remain anonymous may call Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS or for Spanish 480-TESTIGO.

The Milwaukee Brewer bullpen took some much deserved heat for their slow start. The late blow ups by the pen...especially John Axford contributed to the team's slow start. But over the last month the pen has actually been very good...even Axford. The bullpen ERA dropped to 2.95 over the last 34 games which ranks Milwaukee fourth in the NL. And Axford has seen his ERA improve to 4.82 and hasnt been scored upon in his last 15 appearances. Axford says his curveball has been much better and he's throwing it more. Jim Henderson and Francisco Rodriguez have also thrown well at the back end of the pen with the exception of Henderson's gopher ball to Giancarlo Stanton the other night...but even that was only Henderson's 2nd HR allowed in his entire big league career. Now about that starting pitching...even though Kyle Lohse and Yovanni Gallardo had recent back to back 8 inning stints...the starters have been struggling and until they get more consistent results...the team is probably going to languish near the cellar.
You never like to earn something because of an injury to another player but Brewer shortstop Jean Segura will probably start in his first All-Star game now that Troy Tulowitski of the Rockies has gone down with a broken rib that will keep him out for an extended time. Segura has been excellent this year so he definitly deserves the All-Star recognition.

This underground hub at the World Trade Center has been closed since 9/11. That changed Thursday morning.
Port Authority officials reopened the West Concourse, a walkway 44 feet below street level, that will triple-link the World Trade Center, the old World Financial Center building -- now called Brookfield Place Pavilion, and the Battery Park Ferry Terminal.
For lower Manhattan commuters it's a welcomed return.
The concourse suffered severely during September 11th. The multimillion-dollar restoration includes an open-air design without columns allowing natural light to flow in.
Developers have secured several retailers to lease space. This will offer shopping and dining options for the tens of thousands of commuters and tourists who will pass through the tunnel daily to see one world trade center.
It is a pathway that bridges the World Trade Center's future with it's gone but not forgotten past.

To ensure that all relevant PEA personnel receive information about SAIS data uploads, ESS Data Management is re-sending the following message that was widely disseminated last month to PEA administrators (i.e., Superintendents, etc.) regarding an upcoming deadline:
In an effort to comply with Federal reporting requirements, the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) requests that the following current year data be entered into SAIS by December 14, 2012:
- enrollment data as of October 1st (commonly called the October count)
- Special Education program participation data,
- English Language Learner program participation data, and
- Free and Reduced Price Lunch eligibility data (NCLB Indicators 1 and 2)
We look forward to your assistance in this important effort.
Please note, the data elements listed include special education data, but also include additional data required by other ADE program areas. ESS has traditionally imposed a mid-December deadline for the annual October 1 Special Education Child Count because of the timeline required for submission to OSEP. Since other ADE program areas have similar federal reporting deadlines, the agency has decided to ask for all listed data elements with the same timeline used by ESS. Special education administrators and data managers should not see any difference in reporting timelines since these have not changed for special education data uploads to SAIS; however, many other program areas are now requiring data to be uploaded to SAIS much earlier than usual this year.
Other points of point of clarification:
- "Enrollment data as of October 1st" pertains to data for all students, both general and special education
- "Special Education program participation data" pertains to both state and federal special education data elements, including the data needed for the federal October 1 Special Education Child Count.
It is important that all data listed is uploaded as quickly and accurately as possible. While ESS is focused primarily on the October 1 Special Education Child Count, data from all of the listed elements is used by ESS for a variety of data collections/analyses throughout the year. Failure to upload data by the timeline has the potential to not only impact your PEA's grant funding and other federal submissions, but can cause inaccurate reporting of other ESS data points.
Let us know if you have questions.

Ashley Furniture--Functional and Flawless after 10 Years!
Posted by
We purchased a matching Ashley Furniture Sofa and Love Seat at the end of 2003 for our new home.
We have this furniture in our living room and use the furniture every day.
The set is Hunter Green in color and both the love seat and sofa have buttons on the side whereas the seat becomes a recliner when button is pushed. There are two on each piece. The back reclines and a footrest pops out. They are extremely comfortable and we use the recliner feature daily.
What impressed me most is that all of the recliners still work every time, even after 10 years of daily use.
Also, both of the pieces look just like they did the day they were delivered. There are no stains, rips, tears or blemishes anywhere in the fabric of the furniture.
This is an unsolicited review from the owners of the furniture in Sarasota, FL.

No Furniture! Order Placed and Paid in Full 11/13/12; POOR Customer Service.
Posted by
PEORIA, ILLINOIS -- I placed my order 11/13/12. Prior to placing the order, I had made it very clear to the salesman that I needed the furniture quickly and was assured that would be no problem. However, after placing my order and signing the paperwork, I was informed the delivery date would not be until 12/18/12, with the reason given the holidays as the culprit. Although disappointed, I did agree to this delivery date after being assured by the salesman I would have my furniture by Christmas.
Delivery date arrived, passed and no phone call was received. I called the store 12/21 and was informed the salesman who I had dealt with was no longer at the store. Stated he had been "let go" due to false promises. Was informed my order had been delayed until 12/28 and that someone should have called me in regards to this. This person was very apologetic, said will speak with the manager and have someone follow up.
I did receive a phone call on 12/22 and was told after some phone calls were made, my loveseat could be delivered on the truck scheduled for 1/1/13 but my chair had been delayed again to 1/7/13. Was asked if I wanted my loveseat delivered when it came in on the 1st and I asked if I would have to pay another delivery fee. A manager was consulted and I was then told since there was such a long wait for my ordered furniture and because of the poor customer service by the original salesman, there would not be another delivery charge.
I requested for my loveseat to be delivered when it arrived on the truck around the 1st and I was told I would receive a phone call the moment it arrived. Of course, no phone call was received around the 1st or on the 7th. I called the Peoria store the evening of the 7th, and inquired about my order. First I was told the order was delayed until the 14th. I asked why I was not called regarding the delay. I was placed on hold, then was informed the chair had arrived but the loveseat was delayed until the 14th, and when it arrived, I would be called to make arrangements for delivery.
I then reminded the individual about the 12/22 verbal agreement regarding the separate deliveries with no extra charge. She expressed no knowledge of this and stated would have the manager call and discuss with me first thing 1/8/13. It is now 945 pm and no phone call was received. Surprise, surprise.

Ashley furniture has horrible reviews here, especially regarding delivery. I do want to point out, if there was no firm promise in writing as a part of your sales contract, any verbal agreements are worthless. Most sales contracts have a caveat similar to "any promises made not specifically listed in this written agreement are invalid".
Obsfucation on 01/09/2013:
You should take this oppurtunity to cancel the sale and get your money back. If you had received the furniture, you'd quickly find that it is crap. Bail out while you still can. Since they failed to deliver, don't let them try and hit you with a re-stocking fee.
clutzycook on 01/09/2013:
Agreed. Get EVERYTHING in writing! Better yet, take notes, or have a witness with you do it. Record date, time, names, people involved, what was said and promised. Have everyone sign the paper once the exchange is complete.
At Your Service on 01/10/2013:
Did you place the order with a credit card or some other form? If you've placed your order with a credit card you are close to your 60 day limit for disputing the transaction.
It's far too often that home furnishing retailers promise product and can't deliver. I would humbly suggest contacting your bank immediately and DISPUTE THE TRANSACTION IN WRITING.
With respect, if you don't than you'll be stuck with what you're going to get handed to you.
So, with that said, best of luck -- 'cause you're going to need it.
wjk898 on 01/10/2013:
Ashely did the same thing to me. Far as I can tell they NEVER have available the item(s) you purchase. This site and several other ALL have nomerous complaints of this exact nature. I was lucky. I cancelled my order because I was leaving town for 6 months and they couldn't give me a date they would deliver the item. Fortunately for me they gave me a refund on the spot. But you will see, most people are not so lucky.
Although I am a big proponent for cheap "throw away" funiture (because for the most part, that is all you can find these days), stay away from this outfit. This is NOT an isolated experience. This store shows stuff they often have no ability to deliver. Read this and other sites. You'll see.

Poor Design...
Posted by
AUSTIN, TEXAS -- In 01/2008, we purchased (from an outside retailer)an Ashley Furniture brand sleeper sofa, dual reclining loveseat with console, and a wedge (to make a sectional). All is great with the sofa and wedge, however, after having this furniture for just a month we had to have the loveseat replaced. The reclining release is a metal lever with rubber from the top to about halfway down it that is between the arm and the cushion. When no one is sitting in it the rubber is down far enough but when someone sits down the cushion of course goes lower and this exposes bare metal to the fabric. I reclined my seat one night and heard a ripping sound. I stuck my hand between the cushion and the arm where the lever is and the fabric on the side of the cushion had been ripped, totally exposing the stuff the cushion itself is made of. My husband checked his side and his had done the same thing. We called the retailer, they came that nite and picked the piece up, contacted the local Ashley representative and after a week and a half told me that they were going to replace the entire piece rather than just try to repair it. OK, cool deal, no problem.
About a week later we received the new piece. Again, all was going well until about a month to 6 weeks later my husband called me while I was on my way home from work and said that his side had ripped, yet again. About a week later, my side did the same thing. We again called our local retailer, they asked me to contact Ashley directly, so I did and was told this is the only complaint they have had since they switched to this new reclining release design and that they would forward the info to our local Ashley rep (this was on 04/11/2008). Two days ago (05/20/2008) I was finally informed by the Ashley rep that we are the only people that have reported this issue. Now, they said that they have sold several hundred of the same piece that we have and also that there are at least seven different pieces that use this same design.
I was also told by the guy at our retailer's store that our rep had looked at his numbers and that just in his small service area he had shipped roughly 750 pieces in the last year or so (not exactly sure on the time frame) with that same release and has had no complaints. My retailer is telling me that I can either select new furniture from his store and return what we have now or that the Ashely rep said that he could issue him a $200(cash)credit which he could in turn give to me and we keep the current furniture "as is". Either way, I feel like we are getting fairly compensated but its still frustrating having to deal with these things in the midst of the daily chores of life...
Now, I wrote all of this to let you know that if you have Ashley brand furniture with this kind of reclining release YOU NEED TO SEE IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO YOUR FURNITURE AS WELL!! If this is happening, please please please call Ashley Furniture and let them know so they will change the design so this does not continue to happen to other people because they, of course, cannot change the design based on a single complaint. I don't know about you, but when I pay good money for something, I don't think I should be having ANY problems with it after just a month...

Why Waste Money On A Warranty?
Posted by
hurricane hunter
We purchased a leather couch and loveseat from Ashley's, which was quite expensive, and thought we had quality furniture. Within four months, the color was rubbed off the back of the lovseat. We also had another problem prior to that, and the technician was sent to correct that problem. In order to get the original set replaced, we were required to buy a more expensive couch and loveseat since the original style had been discontinued. We also had to add more toward the extended warranty on the leather.
Everything was okay for the first month, then we noticed a slight scrape, or maybe a defect in the leather. A representative at Ashleys Customer Service informed me that since the furniture had been delivered more than 48 hours ago, that the problem was not covered by their warranty, and that unless I knew how it happened, the extended warranty would not cover the damage either.
This is a total ripoff by Ashley that they will not honor any type warranty. Never again will I purchase an item from Ashleys.

Ashley Furniture - Worst Furniture - Worst Customer Service
Posted by
FREMONT, CALIFORNIA -- We purchased a microfiber sofa and love seat recliner from the Ashley furniture store in Fremont in August 2007. The furniture when it arrived was as expected. But within a few weeks we started noticing micro fiber elements sticking out from all parts of the furniture - this was not fiber leaking from the seams but rather fiber magically leaking from within the fabric all over.
I opened a case with their customer service in Southern California back in Feb 2008. An Ashley Furniture technician came home in April to look at the leaks and stated that he had never seen anything of this nature in his entire tenure and was going to recommend the quickest possible resolution. After waiting for a couple of weeks and still not hearing back from their customer service, I called them and to my surprise was told that the technician had stated in his report that the leak was "normal" and we "may have" used a high power vacuum and caused the same.
After many more conversations, their customer service agent "Jamie" called me up in early May to state that Ashley would take back the furniture and would give us store credit to buy an alternate set. I waited for a couple of more weeks to get the credit - but nothing happened. On May 17th, I again called up Jamie who indicated that her supervisor "Ron" or manager "Tran" were supposed to have gotten back to me by now - and apologized profusely for the delay. Two more weeks go by and nothing happens. I called back on the 7th of June and to my surprise was told by "Kim" (another customer dis-service rep) that "Jamie" had quit the company and had thrown all her case paper work in the trash.
After being asked to speak to the manager, I was transferred to Tran who wanted me to send him pictures of the leaking fiber (to start the process all over again) for him to make a decision on by Tuesday (6/10). I posted a youtube video and sent him a link. Till date - as expected - no response. I am quite sure they have no intention of fulfilling their warranty. We paid $1800 for furniture that looks like a camel going through puberty.
Store Purchased From: Ashley Furniture - Fremont, CA

Maybe if you put as much effort into monitoring your customers satisfaction during and after the sale as you do monitoring this website, your need to monitor this site would go away. YOU should be the one contacting the errant store in an attempt to salvage what's left of your bad reputation. I would like to thank you Tammy for a least making an effort here to address the situation and hope that your efforts continue in that direction.
Tammy02 on 07/10/2008:
Since AFI does not have access to each of the stores individual sales records, we are unable to monitor their customers satisfactions. Because, the vast majority of consumers who post on M3C or any other complaint forum do not provide their name or where they purchased from, we are limited to how we can assist them.
If the consumer responds to my M3C message or email, with the name that appears on the invoice and the name and location of the store, we do contact the proper parties to look into the situation in further detail. However, if the consumer does not provide us with the necessary information we request, we are unable to let the store know their customer has an issue.

Terrible Quality & Highway Robbery
Posted by
NEVADA -- In 2005, my husband and I fell in love with a red durapela couch set at our local Ashley furniture store. As we never buy on impulse, we visited this store about 5 times and asked all kinds of questions before we decided to purchase the set.
We asked specifically about the durapela and how durable it really was. We were informed it was the highest of qualities, very strong, the color would stay, etc. They were so sure, they offered a lifetime warranty on the whole couch! We were also pleasantly surprised when the manager informed us that durapela was "stain resistant". With two kids and the words stain resistant, we were sold.
The nightmare began... It took FIVE months to receive our couches. FIVE months of being told they were on back order, they were so popular the company couldn't keep up, etc. We asked to cancel our order and were told couldn't.
The couches arrive and one leg is cracked in down the middle. The store informs us that once the furniture is at our home, they assume no more liability. We'll have to call Ashley Corp. We made several calls with no return call.
The durapela is NOT stain resistant, not in the least. Simple things like WATER cause "puddle" like stains and you have to use a special soap to clean it or the puddle-stain gets even bigger. Then after you clean it, the fibers rub off, leaving your once brilliant red couch with a tarish black tinge.
The back corners of the couch have ripped seams.
There are several broken springs which have ripped through the material and are now destroying the cushions.
The fluff in the back of the couch has compressed to nothing where the cushions meet so that when you sit, you get sucked in between the back cushion and the seat cushion.
And about three of the legs now have the cracks down the middle and the ultra thin paint has several chips, making the couch look even more ghetto.
Needless to say, I'd never buy from Ashley again. We paid WAY TOO MUCH money, for this type of quality. These couches are three years old and I think their only use is a good donation tax write-off.

What do you mean you could not cancel? I would have, in a heartbeat. No responsibility once it's in your house? Pure BS. What about the "Lifetime Warranty"? I know, it was not in writing and they say "we never said that". Right?
It's not much help now but at least you know you are not alone. As you can see on this site Ashley Furniture is one of the worst, if not THE worst furniture company in existence.
Integrity101 on 01/14/2008:
We couldn't cancel as we'd already paid for the furtiture. They said we could pay the 20% restocking fee and cancel, but we had no desire to lose near 300.00! The lifetime warranty wasn't on the whole couch, just the frame. Of course, not what we were told.
Seriously, I won't be buying from Ashley ever again. I wish I would have seen this site...

Ashley Furniture Industries- or Tammy02,
The store in question no longer exists. We had moved from said town and on a recent visit and discovered the store is not there. And why would Ashley being willing to back us now, when in the past we received no support?
Regardless, your office should handle issues with quality, despite what store managers decide to do. It's your name that is on the line, not Manager John Doe's name.
It's obvious, based on my experience and those listed on this site that Ashley has poor quality furniture. The furniture isn't worth the money we paid.
Why don't you address the issues listed in my post? Durapela is NOT stain resistant, a claim made by Ashley. So that misinformation aside- Why do the fibers rub off when I clean the couch? No couch should do that. You should be able to clean your couch without losing pieces of the couch each time. A professional cleaning is 200.00 per couch because the fibers are so delicate! Ridiculous...
Why are the springs broken? No one jumps on our couch, including our children.
Why are the seams ripping, in the same places? A problem well noted on this site.
Why is the paint on the legs so delicate? You have to know that couch legs are exposed to some reasonable beating, the vacuum for one.
Why do the covers on the seats slip forward, and the fluff on the back of the couch compress so that you get sucked in between the two when you sit?
If you'd really like to assist, here's how you can-
Replace my couches with a different set (equal to what we paid) or refund our money. If I don't receive a reply, I'll assume Ashley is not really interested in correcting this problem.
Tammy02 on 02/15/2008:
Since "Integrity101"s original place of purchase is no longer able to assist with warranty claims, I have sent "Integrity101" an email suggesting to send us the necessary information so we are able to assist according to our warranty. Once we receive the information, the next available Consumer Affairs Representative will be in contact with "Integrity101".

Bad Product, Worst Customer Service, Worst Extended Warranty
Posted by
HOUSTON, TEXAS -- I bought a Sofa and Love Seat from an Ashley local store in Houston, TX. They looked very good in the store. The Salesperson and her lady manager insisted we pay extra for the extended warranty and they promised to refund the whole price of the warranty if we do not use it.
After few weeks the seats started to sink and the springs, actually the whole structure started to bend inwards, it seems to suck in the person setting on them as if they are shorter... Anyway, it was within the warranty so we called it in but they said that is not covered under the warranty. We explained that the whole structure of the sofa and the love seat are collapsing but they insisted. We explained that the springs may have become loose and again they said it is not covered. What is covered then?
They referred us to the web page for their coverage that is many, many pages long of exception to coverage.
We tried complaining, but no one cared to even return our calls.
Unbelievably they keep sending us mailers and emails to come back and buy new stuff. Have they no shame?

Don't Buy Ashley Furniture!
Posted by
STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK -- I purchased the Commando Black Sofa & Love Seat September 2011, by December the vinyl was peeling away from the fabric and the cushions were sinking. I contacted Ashley about the problem, Since I have never seen something like this before I felt they should have checked it for manufacturing defects and substandard fabric. Their response to me was they has nothing to do with the warranty of the furniture, and the store I purchased it from said the fabric wasn't under warranty (I guess that because they know it garbage) Now I'm out of $1000 dollars.

Judging from most Ashley reviews (similar to yours), they just don't care about customer service or quality. They are, however, consistent. You can receive poor quality and service at most Ashley stores coast to coast.
Sandy in Canada on 11/05/2012:
My DuraBlend recliner rocker started peeling and flaking the same as yours about 3 months ago. It has gotten much worse so I called the store where I bought it 4 years ago. I bought the extended warranty at the time of purchase. I was told by the store to contact the company that handles the warranties. I did that and when I sent them pictures of this rocker, they came back with an offer of 1/2 of my original purchase price returned to me. After I reviewed the warranty document (which I had them email me ) it said I was entitled to full original purchase price if the item could not be repaired, and clearly it cannot. I informed the warranty people I expected full credit for what I paid. A short time later I received an email stating that I had a credit for my full original purchase price waiting for me at the store but my warranty is now void. I won't buy this DuraBlend product again! It is garbage, I'm just thankful I found my receipt and am getting credit for what I paid.

NEVER buy anything from this retailer. They sell you, close the store and tough luck afterwards
Posted by
S. PORTLAND, MAINE -- Purchased a love seat late 2009 as well as a 5 year extended warranty. 3 years pass, have an issue with the piece and both Ashley Furniture and the company Ashley was selling their warranty, both refuse to do one thing for me. Warranty company, Elite, say because the store I purchased the piece from closed, they can do nothing. BULL. They have NOTHING to do with the individual store. Ashley says the same thing, that I need to address the situation with the company THEY sold me the warranty for. I am sure Ashley got a piece of the $60 I paid for the policy but they wash their hands.
DO NOT buy one piece of furniture from this company nor ever buy a 'warranty' from a fraudulent company named Elite.

Frankly, this is why it generally pays to know a little bit about how the warranty coverage is handled before making the purchase. I have found the best warranty programs directly from the manufacturer or retailers.
trmn8r on 11/16/2011:
I've heard an identical complaint about extended warranties and completely different companies.
Venice09 on 11/17/2011:
No one wants to honor warranties anymore, regardless of the retailer, manufacturer or company. This is easy to figure out from reading the reviews. Extended warranties are even worse.

Will they really beat the price?
Posted by
FAIRFIELD, NEW JERSEY -- I went into Ashley's Furniture on Rt.46 New Jersey to buy a couch, loveseat, and tables. I found the ones that I liked. I spoke to the salesman (who was wonderful) about purchasing the selected items and that I had seen them in another furniture store for a cheaper price. He said that they would match and beat the price by 10% if I should proof of the other stores' prices. So I went to the other store and asked them to write it up for me. The owner at the other store wrote it up on the back of his business card - he wrote the model number and price. I took that card to Ashley's Furniture detailing the prices and items. Do you think that I got that "Beat Your Price and discount 10% deal? NO! I was there one hour and forty minutes with saleperson. The saleperson was great but it was the manager who was not interested in making a deal! In today's market, wouldn't you want to make a deal/sale for your store? The manager has to approve the transactions and she was by no way friendly or helpful in making a transaction happen. SO for anyone looking to get that 10% deal - good luck because it is a lot harder than they make it seem! Make sure you have everything itemized by picture, color, size, shape, and anything else you can think of. They will find something to not give you that 10% off!

ADVERTISED price. NOT a price written on the back of a business card. And did you tell the competition you were going to Ashley? You wasted that guys time, which is money, to try to beat another store. Tacky.
PepperElf on 10/22/2009:
as far as the store knows you might have written it up yourself or bribed the man into claiming that was the price
they need to use something they can verify
because yes there are people out there who would run scams to get something extra cheap

At Walmart, we price match, IF you bring in the AD.
Anon on 11/16/2013:
I am located in Florida and recently purchased a sofa love seat combo from Ashley. I did not intend to purchase it from them and told the salesperson that immediately as to not waste his time. I explained that I would be getting it from the NEX bc they sell Ashley at a military discounted price with no tax and they wear having an additional 25% off. I was only in the store bc the model I wanted weren't at the NEX for me to physically see. The salesperson continued to persuade me to get my sofa and love seat from his store claiming the 110% price match no matter what. After thinking it over we decided to go with Ashley since they price matched everything and could guarantee delivery in 2 wks versus 12 at the NEX, however, they charged us tax which was $158. I hate to be a bugger but the salesperson kept assuring me that after they price matched that I would be getting an additional 10% to make up for the tax. But when we came in to sign the paperwork and pay a different guy said no they couldn't give it to us. At this point I am like oh well but at the same time I don't like it when a company says 1 thing and does another.

I wish that I had been smart enough to read these reviews before I bought a $600 power recliner for my husband a week before Christmas 2013. Less than 2 months later the power part of it didn't work anymore. There is no other way to operate the chair so it is completely useless. I bought this recliner from the Ashley in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. I called to get service on it, and find out they outsource service to a company called US Quality in Houston Texas. When you call there you are on hold for at least 20 minutes, then you have to wait a month or more for someone to come out to fix it. I told the manager at the store that I wanted to exchange the chair or I want my money back. Why should we wait for a repair on a useless chair for a month? She really couldn't have cared less, no empathy whatsoever. (Her name is Theresa) She said that there is a manufacturers warranty for a year on it. Who would want a chair that breaks down in 2 months??? I am still waiting to see if the repair people show up. From what I have read, that is a real issue with this company. I will never buy another stick of furniture from that place again! And you know how it goes, I will tell everyone that I can about this, and already have.

After 5 months the jury finally gets to decide. They'll be back on Monday to start deliberations and Charlie Langton and M.L. Elrick will be back on Fox 2 News tonight with the latest, and not just from inside the court room but also on the sidewalks nearby.
We'll also be back on Tuesday to keep an eye on the jury proceedings, and try to read the signs, as it were. But mostly to be here when they come back with a verdict. Have a great weekend and make sure you tune in again next week.
Judge Edmunds says there are no special instructions for the bribery charges.
She's on count 18 now, Mail fraud... all the counts from 18-30 are either mail or wire fraud. Counts 31 through 36 are tax evasion charges against Kramer and counts 37 and 38 are tax evasion charges against Bernard.
Count 1 is the RICO charge. The rest are the extortion charges.
Judge Edmunds says now, a sad moment, she has to discharge the alternate jurors, who have been sitting for months but won't get to deliberate. It's an extraordinary gift you have given your community. Says the Jurors have asked to have one last lunch together, they can, but they can't discuss the case.
Judge Edmunds says if the Jury wants to start on Tuesday that's fine, the deliberations are up to them.
Says to the alternates, since the deliberations may take time, they are not excused from the case, and she warns us, the press, we can't talk to them. An alternate could be called back if something happens to a juror.
Says Mr. Shea has reminded her to tell the jury they still can't read about the case,even the alternates.
Judge Edmunds now swears in her staff to protect the jury, not communicate with them unless they have a written message. She adjourns the jury for the day. Says for those of you in the press they will be deliberating until 4:30 each day starting Tuesday.
Judge Edmunds says when deciding the extortion charges if guilty they have to decide whether it was under fear of economic harm or under color of official right. One or the other.
On the attempted extortion, same thing.
She's reading through the whole jury sheet now with all the charges. We have the list of charges on the "Complete Coverage" page if you want to follow along.
Judge Edmunds is now reading additional instructions, that the jury must be unanimous in which types of underlying acts they agree on to make the RICO Charge. Must be two acts, and the jury must agree on which two.
Judge Edmunds reads updates on exhibit numbers and which exhibits of evidence will now be admitted and some that are dropped. She's reading a long list of WA1-15's and the like. Now she's reading the list of exhibits dropped, does the same thing for the defense exhibits.
Kwame is sitting with his elbows on the table, head leaning on one hand. That visual Chutkow showed of the altered document had to be a blow to the defense, it was quite dramatic.
Judge Edmunds is now giving the jurors their final instructions. Now she's talking about what they need to do in the jury room. That they must pick foreman, communicate with the court only through written messages through the foreperson. Tells them never to write down if the jury is split, nothing in writing on how the jury stands on their decision.
They must not conduct there own investigation on the case, not even look at a dictionary, and certainly don't go on the Internet.
Whether guilty or not guilty the decision must be unanimous.
Says now that the case has concluded they can finally talk about the case.
Do not hesitate to change your mind if other jurors convince you that your were wrong, but don't change your mind just to get out of the jury room and get the case over with.
Notes, can be used only as memory aids, must rely on own recollection of evidence.
Chutkow says when Thomas calls the State Grants chapter of the overkill. Well, stealing money
The defense jumped over the sinkhole, why, because Mr. Ferguson turned over a false document to you. This was a lie to you. The defense presented you an alternate theory to make it seem like Bobby was already on job before that damaging text message. Somebody removed that date because they didn't want you to see it. Chutkow has a cool visual that shows the "real" document writing floating down and covering the "fake' Document writing exactly, except for the removed date. Does the same thing with another document when the 8 for August was turned into a 3 for march. The sinkhole happened in August.
Chutkow says pay to play corrupts the system, if he hadn't let Bobby run rampant through the contracting community. Did lake shore's business grow. Yes, but only after they agree to start paying Bobby. Contractors that were honest stayed away. This isn't about protecting the contractors, who are the real victims... the taxpayers. They're the victims, they didn't get fair government.
He addresses the jury directly now, Says it now you're time to work together for a verdict, work together, you represent the community and you together can do what's right.
It's clear that Kwame Kilpatrick used the public he was supposed to serve, not elected so he could quietly stuffed money in his pockets. He was entrusted to act for the people of Detroit.
Chutkow says Evelyn read from JFK's Book Profiles in courage, says his sister Mrs Eunice Shriver also talked about it, the founder of the special Olympics, she told college students at a commencement, "these are most bitter days as our leaders stand revealed, these are not evil men but shallow and hollow men.....let's see if we can grow something better in the Desert they left behind"
Chutkow says the scale of corruption Kilpatrick left behind is monumental. Tells the jury they are charged with representing the city. Says all of us in this room know beyond a reasonable doubt that you are just the people to do it.
And he hands the case to the jury
Chutkow says that chart the defense showed you about how much Civic Fund money Kwame used is misleading. They didn't include $500,000 in money he used for his campaign, to give to family and friends like Christine Beatty.
And Chutkow says remember the folks who gave money to the fund said no they wouldn't have given money had they known it was going to be used for stuff like Yoga and vacations. That's fraud.
About paying back the fund, that sliver of a check only got paid after Kilpatrick was subpoenaed about the Civic Fund expenses.
Next Bernard. Mr. Shea talked a lot about James Rosendall's credibility. Chutkow admits Jim was in a jam,but why, because Rayford Jackson and Bernard Kilpatrick were in a money dispute, and Bernard was threatening to blow up the deal. Mr. Shea said it wasn't wrongful because it was a legitimate debt. If it was legit Bernard could have gone to court like anyone else owed money. But he didn't, why not, because the whole thing was illegal.
Why didn't Kwame use his special administrative powers to push through Synagro deal, because he lost those powers in 2006. Why did Rosendall lie to his bosses, because he was in an illegal deal with Bernard. And Rosendall went to jail for that. Says lying to his boss mean Rosendall knew what he was doing was wrong.
Says the defense says Rosendall's testimony was bought and paid for, but Rosendall had already served his time in jail, there's nothing else he can get from the government for testifying.
And Chutkow tells the judge this might be a good place to take a break, 15 minutes.
Chutkow says the defense made a big deal about correlating payments with withdrawals. You saw the safes stuffed with cash, who need to go to the bank, when you can go to the safe to get money for a payment.
Says Kwame went out of his way to steer contracts to Bobby. Says when they found out Andre Cunningham had his phone tapped, Bobby and Kwame went out behind the Manoogian and conversed with their hands over their mouths.
Chutkow says we also know from Mahlon Clift, on one occasion, just one occasion that we know about, that they shared 90,000 from the spoils of their enterprise.
Chutkow says the jury will have all the charges when they get a copy of the indictment so all he really needs to talk about is the Racketeering.
He says you'll see Federal offenses of Extortion, bribery, mail and wire fraud, You need only pick two offenses, or any two state bribery offenses to satisfy the requirement. Or any two mail and wire fraud offenses. Chutkow has nifty visuals, showing the witnesses and the company names. Tells the jury that they only need to pick any two of these, that the actual act didn't need to be accomplished, only that two or more of the participants agreed on it.
Chutkow says let's look at the cash, all the money found in all of Bobby's safes around town. All the money going into the Mayor's bank accounts. Says before he became mayor Kwame acted like a regular person, putting just enough money in his accounts to pay his bills. After he acts like someone taking bribes.
Says the defense claimed all that cash came from the splash of red birthday party, but all they showed you were little checks like this for ten dollars.
Says the Mayor would turn down no check, no matter how big or how small.
You heard office staffers says giving cash was expected, and the person who told you that made just 32,000 a year.
Chutkow says what these lavish parties show is the selfishness of the Mayor, it was a one way street. And think about this, If Kilpatrick had no problem shaking down a poorly paid staffer do you think he'd hesitate to shake down a business man of means. And that splash of red? It was a title wave of green.
What kid of public official asks for a gift from someone who is looking for something in return. Like asking for cash from Rutherford to buy suits in Dubai.
Chutkow says the defense claims Bernard Parker was tethered T the government. But he was subpoenaed just like everyone else.
The defense claims a no show payment was legit, but where's the paperwork, why did Bobby give a fake invoice, with bogus descriptions or work he didn't do, why put it in his wife's name? Because it was an extortion payment and he wanted to hide it.
That hastily hand written contract on Baby Creek, it says if they get the bid they'd pay Bobby. Chutkow says they wanted to make sure the administration would see it, to make sure they knew Bobby was being taken care of.
Chutkow shows another text: Bobby: they know you're holding that contract right?
Chutkow runs through more. Asks, why is a mayor of a major metropolitan city talking about contract prices? Because he was going to share in the proceeds.
Why would the DWSD director tell a subordinate to write a letter saying a contract wasn't needed. Because Mercado needed a cover, and after the memo was written Mercado came out and took the "advice" in the subordinates memo.
And that Rec department official who spoke up when bobby was double dipping on Patton Park and Heilman, what did she get? She got berated while her boss just sat by and let Bobby do it.
Chutkow says when Ferguson wanted a piece of the sinkhole project he sent a text to the Mayor saying we need to meet on how I move in.
Says if Soave was such a big shot, not intimidated, why did he dump his friend. Because the Mayor told him to. When Bobby was causing trouble on the job why didn't he just dump Bobby.
And let's talk about Kathleen McCann, who got a text from Bobby saying you act like Mercado made a decision ever.
Another contract and another text message where Bobby says you don't need to worry about the director. Worry about me. Says this company got it's DHB yanked, but then mysteriously got it back.
Human Rights. Kim Harris said his boss told him to yank a certification and the order came from the Mayor. What Mr. Evelyn didn't tell you about was the back story. That the Mayor called a meeting a told Mercado to write that letter Evelyn showed you.
Chutkow now talks about Bobby talking about strategically losing a major bid. Says the only one who'd do this was someone who wanted to hide his relationship with the Mayor.
Chutkow says Bobby's power even trumped family ties. Show the message where Ayanna Kilpatrick was complaining about getting booted out of work. Says by picking Bobby over his sister, he was really just looking out for his own personal interests.
Says when the defense says they were always honest about there friendship,that's not true. Shows a text where Kwame tells Bobby not to talk about friendship to a reporter just say he supports the Mayor.
The attorneys are in a sidebar with the judge. They are winding there way back to their seats now. I have no idea what they were talking about but Mike Rataj and Susan Van Dusen are having a bit of a conference. It doesn't look like Rataj was the focus of the sidebar but there has been speculation that yesterday's dust up with Fox 2's M.L. Elrick may have caught the Judge's attention.
Judge Edmunds turns the stage over to Mark Chutkow who says this case has always been about bribery and extortion, that what the defense has presented has been a smokescreen. He says Kwame and Bobby were out only for themselves, that they crushed the competition then laughed about it.
Chutkow shows more text messages he says show Bobby and Kwame mocking business people.
Chutkow says Evelyn made much about "mentoring" in his closing. But you heard Bobby say bobby made Lakeshore put E&T trucking on a contract, then bobby got mad because E&T wasn't paying him a fee, and told Bernard Parker to talk to his snitches to see if he could get E&T's DBB certification pulled. Chutkow says this was a company he was supposed to be mentoring, but instead, he kneecapped them.
Says Tony Soave stuck by Charlie Phillips even though Phillips got axed from the contract Bobby wanted. But now Phillips, with Soave's mentoring, runs a multi-million dollar company.
Chutkow says let's look at the real minority fronts in this case. Like putting Akuna Olumba on a Synagro trucker contract. Where are the boots on the ground as the defendants like to say.
The court room is humming. Prosecutor Mark Chutkow is standing at the podium waiting for the judge. Kwame Kilpatrick is quietly reading a book. bobby is smiling, and chatting with his attorney Gerald Evelyn.
"All rise, court is in session."
Good morning from the Theodore J. Levin Federal Court House on the last day the lawyers take the field and the first day the jurors start to deliberate ( if all goes according to plan.)

The benefits of combining enforcement and traffic management
Jason Barnes considers how combining enforcement equipment with other traffic management technologies might benefit our future if only the will were really in place to do so.

Assessing the potential of in-vehicle enforcement systems
Jason Barnes considers the social and ethical ramifications of using in-vehicle safety technologies to fulfil enforcement functions.

In a prepared statement, Duane Alexander, MD, director of the NIH's National Institute of Child Health and Human Development calls Karumanchi's findings "the most promising lead yet in the pursuit of a life-threatening disorder that has defied all attempts to prevent or cure it." Alexander was not involved in the study, but researchers at his agency were.
We have had to sit on this news for a few days now...which as you can imagine is very tough for us!! The attached link is one of the best of the articles out there about the news and we will follow-up shortly with an interview with Dr. Karumanchi who is a professional member of the Preeclampsia Foundation and who passionately supports our work.
The reality is that this study may have identified proteins which are present in women with preeclampsia but not those without. That would mean that a blood test might be able to predict who will and won't get preeclampsia. I think though, the bigger challenge we face (when the time comes) is figuring out who gets this blood test and who pays for it. Right now we all know of stories of women having to insist on a proteinuria test being taken...so not to downplay this work at all...because we are all very excited about what it might mean and more than anything about the energy that it will mean is now focused on preeclampsia...but the reality is that for the meantime, we still have to be our own best advocates, we still have to be vigilant, and we still have to watch out for the women around us who are pregnant and have never heard of the disease.
