I am a fabricator. It happened again so I thought I share this as a warning to others. Got a call from a customer that selected a quartz surface for her countertops. Her sister, an accomplished chef, was visiting and damaged my customers countertop by placing a hot pan on the counter. The chef sister has granite at her home and is used to putting items from the stove and oven anywhere she wants. Damaging a quartz countertop with heat is a rare event (we've had about a dozen incidents in 12 years and several thousand jobs) but it's usually a situation just like the one described above where a guest in the kitchen does the damage. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I just had a silestone countertop installed- this is a quartz, correct? |
There was a frequent poster (was it KevinMP?) who recently posted that he cracked his granite in a similar way by putting a hot pot on it. Bottom line, granite and quartz can crack if hot things are placed directly on it with no trivets. Rare, but possible. It's one thing to crack your own countertops, but honestly I think it takes a special kind of cluelessness to do this as a guest in someone else's home. I wouldn't dream of setting a hot pans on someone else's countertops. Crazy. |

If she is a chef that works in a restaurant she is also probably used to cooking at much higher heat than the typical home cook. |

I'm with taggie on this one. Home kitchens are not commercial kitchens - most of us do plan a certain amount of "prettiness" in a home environment, while it rarely enters the commercial equation. So how difficult is it to use a trivet? If you can't find one, leave hot pots/pans on the cooktop. |
I gotta ask. What's she going to do about it? Pay for the repair? Replacement? I'll bet the kitchen owner is absolutely sick. |
We're going to try a repair. It's a 2 year old install so we will be billing her. I don't know who will be paying. unfortunately when a quartz top is heat damaged it's because the resin is burnt so it's not repairable like a scratch or even a crack in granite. Usually the burnt area, which often looks like a crescent moon, is so large that any attempt to grind it and repolish it is doomed to failure. |
- Posted by lovetodream (My Page) on Wed, Apr 17, 13 at 17:48
If that repair doesn't work, what's her other options? Just have to replace the entire counter? Wonder how hot is too hot. I try to be careful, but should we basically treat it like laminate? |
- Posted by may_flowers (My Page) on Wed, Apr 17, 13 at 17:57
If it's in the reflection from a light source, she'll see the repair. My quartz was dulled on install by BarKeeper's Friend. The fabricator took a 5 hour class from Caesarstone to learn how to polish out the surface. After 2 1/2 hours of using various polishing tools and compounds, it just spread the dulled area into a bigger circle. They replaced my countertop. Does the customer know she won't get a pristine surface and it could make it worse? |
cust knows a repair effort is unlikely to succeed. We have been successful on lighter colors. You can bring the polish back but in my experience the worked area will always show if the lighting is right. Occasionally the lighting is such that the worked area doesn't show. usually you end up replacing the top which can get REAL expensive if the damaged piece is seamed to other piece(s). A replacement part is almost guaranteed to have a slight color difference that would show at the seam. you could have two pieces that are VERY close in color but that difference will show if the pieces are seamed together. |

Kylee Kieser had some time alone on Saturday at the Cave Creek Golf Course in Phoenix, and that was just fine with her.
"When I was out there, I was like, 'Oh my gosh, this is my last year, this is it,' said Kieser. "When I said that to myself, I knew I had to go because winning this meet was my goal."
Kieser broke away from the field at the 1-mile mark and then rolled on alone to victory in the Arizona Division II girls state cross country championship race.
Kieser delivered the only individual title for the East Valley, winning the Division II girls championship in 18:53.01, more than 30 seconds ahead of Nogales' Konnie Zuniga.
Kieser, who ran for Casa Grande the last three years, had hoped to deliver a team title for the Padres, but they fell just short of Nogales, who scored 77 points. Marcos de Niza got the runner-up trophy with 97 points, well ahead of Tucson Sahuaro (128).
"I really wanted this team title for my teammates because we worked so hard," said Kieser. "I felt like we were ready."
Kieser's teammates, Paige Libsack and Jessie Teniorio were 11th and 14th, respectively but Nogales, last year's team champ in 5A-II, was too deep to catch this year.
Perry finished 13th with 356 points and was led by a ninth-place finish from Taylor DeLaVega (20:06.31).
In the Division II boys meet, Tucson Catalina Foothills claimed the team title with 63 points, easily ahead of Peoria Sunrise Mountain (118). Sunrise Mountain's Brandon Kocmund was the individual winner in 16:02.
Perry was the top East Valley team in Division II, placing fifth with 178 points, four points ahead of McClintock. The Chargers' Eduardo Roa was the top East Valley individual finisher, placing fourth in 16:16.65. Perry's Patrick Hardwick was eighth in 16:52.22.
In the Division III boys race, Tuba City's Billy Orman set a new course record on his way to his second straight state title. Orman finished in 15:03, beating the record set by former Flagstaff Sinagua star Brian Shrader, who is now at Oregon.
Chinle was the team champion with 77 points, followed by Flagstaff (94) and Mingus (119).
In the Division III girls race, Chinle's Rolando Jumbo was the individual champion, finishing in 18:34.55. The Page girls emerged as the team champions with 133 points, edging Chinle (144) and Flagstaff (156). The top East Valley teams were Saguaro in 9th (388), Tempe 12th (550) and Higley 14th (585).
Hopi swept the Division IV team titles, with the girls scoring a meet-low 33 points. Gilbert Classical Academy was the top East Valley team, placing seventh (198), one spot ahead of Valley Christian (203). Tempe Prep was 10th at 237.
Many Farms was a surprise runner-up in the Division IV boys meet with 111 points, followed by Pinon 136. Horizon Honors led the East Valley teams with a seventh-place finish (182). Valley Christian was 10th at 260.

you can download it here
you would place it in the apps folder on the SD card sd:\apps\
yea i looked in that thread but they didn't have any for this emu. i know some others were having issues getting this latest version working with forwarders too
you could hook it up to the wii and use wiiMC. but i don't know what file types it supports. i know it will support the common ones though
i wouldn't recommend it. the moment you attach the HDD to the 360 it will want to format it or possibly lock the drive messing everything up on it
even if they were going to come out with a new system menu i doubt there would be a reason to upgrade to it
GX seems to be my favourite right now just for the fact that it has the channel layout out and plus you can view all gametypes (wiiware,VC,wii and GC games) at the same time unlike wiiflow where they...
hey everyone,
has anyone been able to find a forwarder that works with the latest version of genplus GX yet?
even with the backup if you don;t have bootmii that is pretty much it
i use a program called MultiGameISO Creator to extract games from a multi game disk.
you can find the program in a package you can download in the wiihacks "playing gamecube backups" guide
i use a program called gamecube multigame ISO creator. worked for me everytime

the wii doesn't have any kind of ports like that

bravo and the mega CD support. i have my fingers crossed for 32x support too
the main reason why anyone would want to mod an xbox 360 would be to pirate games so getting banned doesn't matte. and if you get banned that is 50 bucks you don't have to waste on an xbox live sub
i can confirm that it was added to the modded version of USB configurable loader. the version that first has gamcube ripping support is version 70r32. the current version is 70r34. you can just...
from the sounds of it the wii you bought probably cost more than all the batteries you have
also nintendo will never ban you from the shop channel or playing any games online well they would ban you if you use cheats when playing a game online but that is about it
very nice. i love how you can have all you're NAND files in a separate directory instead of having them at the root of the card. and you can have all your games displayed instead of like how wiiflow ...
sounds like the codes are having a bad effect. does the game start without the codes?
since its in every game then i believe the only way would be to mod the game to cut it out
hey guys does the latest revision still take away the ability to play game cube backups from disks? if so i will just wait till they get support for USB drives working
since you keep mentioning that it is a network hard drive. do you intend to connect the hard drive to the wii or were you trying to find out if you can get the wii to access the hard drive over a...
going into the system menu will get the controller working but it will not keep the controller paired with the wii. nintendo calls it a "one time mode" so you will have the same problem next time you...

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

This week I'm thankful that, if all goes as planned, Kit and her mother and I will meet on Friday. I've been away from my sewing machine and have at least 4 quilts I want to finish by June so am antsy to return, but I'm thankful for this sort of 'retreat' from the real world for a few days. I think it will help to give me a kick-start when I return home. @:) SharonG/FL-MN |

In engineering, manifestation of progressive fracture in a solid under cyclic loading, as in the case of a metal strip that ruptures after repeated bending back and forth (see metal fatigue). Fatigue fracture begins with one or several cracks that spread in the course of repeated application of forces until complete rupture suddenly occurs when the small unaffected portion is too weak to sustain the load.

Not the quality I expected for the price I was not particularly satisfied with the quality of this duvet cover. The cotton feels and looks like a cheap batik or cotton shirt that looks crumpled as soon as you put it on. The trim had lots of loose threads. I am actually afraid that when I wash this it will look like I've had it for many years.

Here are some comparisons that might help you make an informed choice.
Best Reasons to Have a California King Bed

Take a look below for some of the most frequently asked questions about duvet covers.
How to Secure a Duvet Cover
A duvet cover can protect your comforter from dust, spills, and other dirt, but sometimes getting it on and keeping it in place can be tricky. If you've ever fought to get one onto the duvet or struggled to keep your duvet from slipping around in its cover, then you'll want to follow these tips for securing duvet covers.
Duvet Cover Buying Guide
Whether you call them comforter covers or duvet covers, they are the best thing you'll find to keep your comforter (or duvet) stylish as well as clean. Duvet covers are relatively inexpensive, come in a wide variety of styles and colors and can keep your bedding protected and looking great. This duvet covers buying guide provides information on how to buy duvet covers and how to choose the one that is right for you.
How to Maintain Luxury Duvet Covers
One of the best things about duvet covers is that they allow you to keep your duvets fresh and clean without much fuss. Of course, the covers need some maintenance, and the more luxurious they are, the more careful you may need to be. Fortunately, keeping them clean and feeling great isn't difficult. Here's how to maintain your luxury duvet covers.
Popular Duvet Cover Styles and Fabrics
Duvet covers are available in a variety of fabrics and patterns. The right style for your bedroom is a matter of personal taste. When choosing a duvet cover for your comforter, pick out a style that will go well with the furniture and flooring of your bedroom.

What You Need to Know about Duvet Covers
Changing the look of your whole bedroom is easy when you use a duvet cover. Sometimes referred to as comforter covers, they are the best thing you'll find to keep your comforter or duvet stylish as well as clean. Here's what you need to know when you're shopping for one.
Duvets vs Down Comforters
A new duvet or down comforter is a fast, easy way to change the look of your bedroom decor. These bed coverings can also keep you warm and toasty on a cold winter's night. Traditionally, the word duvet, a French word meaning "down," was interchangeable with down comforter. Today, however, when most Americans say the word duvet, they are actually referring to a duvet cover. Duvet covers are made to slip over many different types of comforters, whereas a down comforter can be used as a standalone bed covering. Take a look at this article to learn more about the differences between duvets and down comforters.
How to Put on a Duvet Cover by Yourself
Putting on a duvet cover is a fast, simple process, even though it may seem potentially troublesome. If you do it correctly, the duvet will lie flat inside the cover, free of wrinkles and bunching. All the process takes is some pulling and shaking; no tricky folding or awkward stuffing is necessary. Fasten the buttons or snaps, and your new duvet cover will be ready for plenty of use. Look below to learn precisely how to put on a duvet cover by yourself.
Best Bed Frames for a Master Bedroom
When furnishing the master bedroom, don't cut any corners on your bed frame. After all, you'll probably have the same bed frame in your master bedroom for years to come. Instead of making do with any old bed offered by discount furniture stores, choose one that you'll be happy to have in your master bedroom for years to come. But more than just choosing between a queen bed frame, king size bed or California king bed, there are a variety of bed frames you can choose from. Before you make a hasty decision, consider these ideas on the best bed frames for your master bedroom.

Getting Started
Join our editor-in-chief for a backstage tour of a Home cover shoot
By Elle Decor Staff
Watch the behind-the-scenes video of our cover shoot
Ever wonder how we craft Home's covers? We try to find at least one contender at each location shot for our features section, first choosing the room's best angle in terms of an image's aesthetic impact, placement of our logo, and positioning of any text. We painstakingly move furniture and accessories (many of which we've brought in) to achieve the ideal setup—a process where even an eighth of an inch matters.
For any given issue, we'll have several possible winners in hand. But sometimes we conjure a concept from scratch to suit a theme, as we did this month with the help of Candice Olson and her team. To create a magical—but temporary—transformation, virtually everything you see on the cover was spirited in the day before the shoot so we could compose a room divinely dressed for spring (in midwinter Toronto). Then we perched Candice on a sofa from her own line, and—after hours spent perfecting her hair, makeup, wardrobe, and every detail in the photo—voilà!
To watch the behind-the-scenes video of our cover shoot, click here. Inside the magazine or on the cover, our makeovers aim to be instructive and inspiring. Why not take a cue from them and launch the season with a brand-new look?

beautiful frame, timeless wearability
Despite its somewhat innocuous appearance, the Lenox has a really nice genuine weight and feel to it. Not a huge surprise, because its Mazzuchelli acetate is the cream of the crop (some of the finest frames in the world use this same acetate), and it shows in the Lenox's beautiful construction and amazing finish. The Cider Tort. and Rootbeer colorways have an incredible depth to the acetate - nearly rivaling what I've seen from vintage Ray Bans or Persol. Sticklers to detail, RAEN also uses stock Zeiss lenses, and the everyday clarity shows in spades.
* coverage is big, but temple width is not super wide - luckily, because of the legitimate acetate, an optician can help customize the fit for you

Spent the last few weeks stumbling around noob-like in the molle world, piecing my revised ghb pack together on the new platform. Learned a lot and coming to actually like molle after years of avoiding it, but it's taken a while to find pieces that are "really" what I want, rather than what's most-often encountered.
Actually have found three different carriers that work well for 15-round M1 carbine magazines, which was a happy ending to the most time-intensive aspect of the search. Two of them were originally intended for other purposes, and one specifically made for them.
Also tried & tested a new small integral solar charger & battery pack, with disappointing results.
Other than that, just more of the same.

good to keep cloth tablecovers clean
By mother of 3
from oxford, nc
Comments about Clear Tablecloth Protector:
I use it on a table that is used 3 times every day it is thin but tough.
Does a fairly good job protecting table
By The Singing Beader
from OH
About Me Budget Shopper
This protective clear table cover is easy to trim to adjust to the size of your round table. I put it over my printed elastic edged plastic table cloth, then tucked the edge in the elastic underneath the table. It adds extra protection to the surface. The clear table cloth is not real thick, so cats can claw and chew through it. I replace it about every six months.

If true then you've got to think he deserved 7 years. Obviously he never meant to kill the lad but if you as a person who trains in punching people go over and **** someone unnecessarily then you're putting them in serious danger.
It was nearly five years ago!
I've never had any grief down Call Lane, can't fault it really.

Hurt The Monkey!
Dec 7, 2000

Customer Service:
Effort vs. Reward:
Full Review
If I ever get my hands on that darned monkey-I am going to ring its scrawny bossy little neck. Of all the ways to waste time on line-Treeloot.com is the absolute worst-mainly because it is just a waste of time, you will get
out of the time you spend there. Unless of course you want to count being bossed around by an animated monkey.
What Is Treeloot.com
to be a sweepstakes, reward type-site. HA! Basically, what you do is get roped into clicking on an animated tree for 15 minutes. Now allegedly somewhere on the tree there are prizes, and there is something called
banana bucks
that you can earn and win by clicking on the tree over and over and over again. The Monkey will tell you that you can use those banana bucks in Treeloot.com �s special store-I will get into that later!
Every time you click on the tree-you get sent to a page where the monkey tells you that you won a few banana bucks, or that you didn�t win anything. Then the monkey tells you to �support the sponsors� by clicking on their banner adds. Then when you click on the banner adds-
You HAVE to click on those banner adds
-the monkey tells you that you need to actually
visit the Sponsors site
i.e. click around each site-or the visit does not count. The monkey is supposed to give you hints about where to click next on the tree-all that the monkey told me to do was visit more sponsors.
You have to do this-click, get bossed around by an annoying animated monkey, click, earn banana bucks for a minimum of 15 minutes-or you get absolutely nothing! No banana bucks, no prizes-assuming that you actually clicked on a prize-no nothing.
So What
I get for 15 minutes of my time?
not a thing. I spent 15 minutes clicking all over the tree, I would get a message telling me
Congrats-you have won $5 in banana bucks, or you have won $10 in banana bucks
and I was told I could spend them in the Treeloot.com store when I was done. I visited the Sponsor sites; the monkey bossed me around. In the end I ended up with $97 in banana bucks-now, at one point I was told I had won $100 banana bucks, but I ended up with $97 banana bucks-how I have NO idea and I figured that $97 in banana bucks was better than nothing-NOT-but I was done playing with the stupid monkey.
Off I go to the store-where I discover that my $97 worth of banana bucks will buy me----- a whole lot of nothing. For such and such amount of banana bucks, I can �buy� a special offer to get $5 of a $10 purchase as a Sponsors site-or something like that. You know the offers-the same one�s that fill up my email folders-for free. Only at Treeloot.com I have to
to take advantage of offers that I have already been offered for free. If I recall correctly, the only thing you could actually �buy� was a stuffed monkey-and that cost some ungodly amount of banana bucks plus a whole lot for shipping and handling.
I wasted 15 minutes of my time and got nothing for nothing. I won�t be going back to Treeloot.com-and I don�t recommend anyone else go there either. If you want to play with animated monkey�s online-go to Trancos.com and play their
Monkey Million
game-it takes a fraction of the time, and your odds of winning are much higher.
Treeloot.com is an example of the fact that there are lots of sites on the web that exist to make money off of you. The only thing Treeloot.com does is direct you to their sponsors-nothing more, nothing less. They �offer� you the chance to win something for nothing-and that is what gets them and their sponsor�s hits. Personally, I won�t be buying
from any Sponsor of Treeloot.com. Any business that would be in cahoots with that bossy ugly little monkey isn�t to be trusted. I do NOT recommend this site to anyone.

April 19 (Bloomberg) -- From the bombing in Boston to the ricin scare on Capitol Hill, is the U-S doing enough to keep Americans safe? On Bloomberg Government's "Capitol Gains," Peter Cook talks with Rep. Peter King (R-NY) who serves on both the Homeland Security and Intelligence Committees. King says "we have let our guard down" since 9/11 and hopes that this week's events will serve as a wake-up call. Meanwhile, he says Congress must reassess homeland security spending in order to make the country safer from attacks. (Source: Bloomberg)

Recently I was setting up for a session when I noticed my hand controller was still a bit wet from the dew when last used 3 nights before. I did the two star alignment successfully and just as I was to input the first object the screen went blank. It was still illuminated just no text and the slew arrows were working. I tried rebooting the scope a couple of times but still nothing just couldn't get the text to come back. I disassembled it on the spot and checked all the contacts everything was good. So I wonder if the dew got into the circuits somehow and caused it to malfunction.
This was the older HC model with the DSO shortcut buttons. It had to be replaced with the latest HC. I thought I wasn't going to like it but I quickly got used to it. I particularly like the fact that the Constellation menus is faster. Still sluggish but noticeably quicker in scrolling.
Did dew kill my HC?

If it is caused by wetness, it should be OK when it dries out.
Posted 18 September 2013 - 09:02 AM
I've been using NexStar HCs on the incredibly dew-heavy Gulf Coast for over a decade and have never had a problem of this kind. Possible solution? Reseat the display ribbon cable connector.
Posted 18 September 2013 - 10:56 AM
I did check the cables at the time they were all secure. The old HC is trashed now so troubleshooting is a moot point. I was just concerned about keeping the new one dry.
Posted 19 September 2013 - 07:07 AM
Well, it's likely dew had nothing to do it. Ribbon cable problems are the usual culprit, as I said.
Posted 19 September 2013 - 03:18 PM
My HC on my GPS C-11 has started giving me issues. The "east" slew button doesn't want to work when I first power up the scope for alignment. After a little fiddling it begins working and once I get her all set up it's no longer an issue. Would the ribbon cable connection cause that or do I have a contact going out?
Posted 19 September 2013 - 05:02 PM
Sounds like a button contact to me...they can be cleaned. They don't give trouble as often as the cotton-picking Autostar buttons, but they can occasionally be a problem.

Mountain View Merlot 2011
Mountain View
- California
- United States
- Lake County
The year 2011 was an interesting year for many northern and central European countries, as the weather was more than unpredictable in the spring and summer. However, in most countries, the climatic conditions thankfully settled down in the late summer and fall. The result of this slightly difficult year of weather in France was a set of surprisingly small yields, but overall, these yields were of a higher quality than those harvested in certain previous years. A fantastic set of wines was also made in Italy and Spain, and the Rioja wines - when released - are set to be very good indeed. Austria also had superb year in 2011, with almost fifty percent more grapes being grown and used for their distinctive Gruner Veltliner wines than in the year before. Possibly the European country which had the finest 2011, though, was Portugal, with wineries in the Douro region claiming this year to be one of the best in decades for the production of Port wine, and the bright, young Vinho Verdes wines. In the New World, the Pacific Northwest saw some of the best weather of 2011, and Washington State and Oregon reportedly had a highly successful year, especially for the cultivation of high quality red wine grapes. Chile and Argentina had a relatively cool year, which certainly helped retain the character of many of their key grape varietals, and should make for some exciting drinking. South Africa had especially good weather for their white wine grape varietals, particularly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and many South African wineries are reporting 2011 as one of their best years in recent memory.
With its dark blue colored fruits and high juice content, Merlot varietal grapes have long been a favorite of wine producers around the globe, with it being found in vineyards across Europe, the Americas and elsewhere in the New World. One of the distinguishing features of Merlot grapes is the fact that they have a relatively low tannin content and an exceptionally soft and fleshy character, meaning they are capable of producing incredibly rounded and mellow wines. This mellowness is balanced with plenty of flavor, however, and has made Merlot grapes the varietal of choice for softening other, more astringent and tannin-heavy wines, often resulting in truly exceptional produce. Merlot is regarded as one of the key 'Bordeaux' varietals for precisely this reason; when combined with the drier Cabernet Sauvignon, it is capable of blending beautifully to produce some of the finest wines available in the world.
California has long been the New World's most important and prodigious wine producing regions, with a history which stretches back to the 18th century and the Spanish pioneers who settled here. Today, California produces vast quantities of wine, and if it were a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine on earth. Despite experiencing many problems in the mid 20th century, including a very serious blight which almost crippled the state's wine industry, the ideal terroir and excellent climate ensured that Californian wines soon became the envy of the New World once again. California produces a vast range of wines, and utilizes a long list of fine grape varietals, with many wineries and their produce more closely resembling those of France and other Old World countries in regards to character, practices and flavors
Whilst there are several strains of native grape varietals in the United States, it was the introduction of the European species which prompted the country to begin producing wines on a large scale. Over the past few centuries, experimentation and cross-breeding has produced great successes in regards to the quality and suitability of the fruit grown in states such as California, Oregon, Washington and New York, and the past few decades have seen New World wines from the United States reach much higher standards. Arguably the finest United States wines have always come out of California, where the climate and terrroir is most suitable for fine wine production. The masterful blending of classic grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, amongst others including Syrah and Chardonnay, have had world beating results in recent years, prompting many to suggest that there has never been a better time for buying and drinking United States wines.

Long-Reach Stop for Crosscut Sled

I built the "Ultimate Crosscut Sled" featured in AW #75 (October 1999). It works great, and recently I've added an adjustable stop, which makes it even better. I thought other AW readers would be interested in my upgrade. My 50-in.-capacity...

Was at Bass Pro today they had a lot of long gun ammo, both rifle and shotgun, but very little handgun. I was able to get some .38 spcl, they did have some 40 s&w, but I passed because I was closer to being out of the .38's. One of the local gun shops is trying to get almost &40.00 for PMC bronze in .357 magnum, which I had purchased at another local shop for $25.00, very uncool.
The sky never was.The Sky is not falling?
It was (and continues to be) merely a conjunction of forces involving perception, reality and demand/supply mechanics.
The threat from an abusive governmental tide of ignorance via laws that reduce availability is still there. So long as illegally-minded congress rats still breathe their foul air of deceiving the People and going against the Constitution, we'll have this threat.
The high prices are still there.
The wars are still raging.
Those that find they're "low" (by their standards) will still see that; and those that find they're "full" will now see that.
The simplest way to gauge the level of the problem is to look at the overall prices. Generally speaking, average prices seem to be 2-4x higher than 18mos ago, with some exceptions. That pretty much says it, right there. Until general availability is high and prices have stabilized (at whatever level), it's hard to say it's over.
In the long run, I agree with many who suspect we are likely just seeing the tip of the iceberg.

I have picked up a 2.5inch Taurus Judge and have be amazed at the complete lack of 45 Caliber ammunition available in town or on the web.
Whether or not this is an excellent defensive gun is another discussion, but without good defesive ammo it is not very effective.
I would like to know what the best ammo would be and where it is available.
Present I have only .410 8 Buckshot
Would like to get the new Federal Defensive 000 buckshot and 45 Caliber.
Many thanks for the warm welcome
Well the local Walmart here has had a few boxes of 357 Sig, and gust added a couple of boxes of 357 magnum. Both Winchester white box. Last night they also had two boxes of 9mm in a different brand, either Blazer or something else, I can't remember, and no I can't look at the box cause I didn't buy it, I don't have a 9mm Yet!
