Went all over town looking for some lead bullets and powder to load up some IDPA fodder. The freaking shelves were bare. I spoke with one of the guys I know and he related a conversation he had with one guy looking for primers:
Guy walks in " Got any small rifle primers?" Clerk: "Nope." Guy: "Well I will just have to hold on to what I have." Clerk; : What do you have now?" Guy: " I have 20,000 small rifle primers and 200lbs of powder." Clerk: "Wow, what kind of reloading press do you have?" Guy: : "I don't reload."
I mean really? The clown does not have any use for what he is hoarding but his doing so adds to the problem, my guess is its the same with ammo....... "Gee I don't have a 9mm or 223 but I better get lots of ammo."
I have what I really need, I just refuse to break into my good ammo for punching holes in paper and would usually get all my IDPA supplies at the beginning of the season now my practice and my hobby suffer because these jerks that are scared that the sky is falling.
How much ammo do you really need for any conceivable fantasy SHTF scenario?

I am having a screened porch built,, using Azec porch floor, which is narrower than Azec decking and is tongue and groove. My understanding is azec porch should be laid on a slight decline of 1/4" to allow for drainage. My husband and I notice the floor did not appear to have this decline so he asked the contractor who said if it is on a deline, there will be an opening at the end of the screened porch to allow for drainage and will be a potential problem with bugs entering. Is this true? He claims he has an azec porch and has not had a problem with drainage. If the problem is an opening for drainage, couldn't a screen be put in place where the drainage holes are? I am concerned about rains, snow and drainage issues. Since this floor is tongue and groove, is there any way or room for water to drain? This is a second home so the house is unoccupied much of the year and I certainly would not want drainage issues and, possibly, compromise he integrity if the azec composite. This is a big project and is quite expensive, so I would rather be proactive now rather than reactive later. I know very little about a screened porch construction, but I did some reading prior to making my decision on the azec porch vs, the azec decking. Maybe the recommendation for the 1/4" inch decline is for a porch that is not screened?? I might add this is in an area that has humid hot summers and cold winters with occasional snow and ice.. Please help.... I will be talking to him as early as tomorrow or Tuesday. I certainly do not want to put him on the defensive, but I need to know if this is standard practice. He does nice work and I am not in the trade, but at the same time, this is contrary to what I have read. Maybe we should go with the azec decking and save $2575, but I really like the look of the porch floor since it is a screened porch and not a deck. I also like the fact there are no visible nails on the floor. Thank you, all, for your expertise and input! |

Hyundai Santa Fe Engine Problems
Hoping someone may help me with this.
My SUV has had hesitation at about 45mph. Today, @45mph my car starting lurching & check engine light came on. As I slowed down, the lurching stopped and the light went out. I parked my car & will have it towed to the shop in the morning. Any idea, is this something major? It has 104000 miles on it.
Thanks for all your help!

santafe71 Posts: 4No. I was in traffic, going from 60 down to 45. Once it went below 45, I would step on the gas and it felt like it wasn't going to go any faster and it was starting to "shake" I stayed below 40 for about a mile(lots of road construction) before I was able to pull off.
I'm just hoping it's nothing too major. -
flc2006 Posts: 81It is speculated that the Santa Fe base engine will be the 2.4 liter Theta II which has estimated horsepower of 175-180 plus hp
should the 2.7 liter V6 be replaced by this engine Yes or no?
The 2.4 in my opinion has great advantages like timing chain, plus better fuel economy, easier to maintain. -
joe97 Posts: 2,248I think Hyundai should.
Here is what I would like to see:
Fact: the next coupe will have 2.0L turbo four (rumored around 223hp) and 3.8L V6 (300hp+) (2.7L V6 removed)
Speculation: the Tuscon redesign should come with 4 cylinder only (2.7L V6 removed)
Speculation: I know Santa Fe's 2.7L V6 is there mainly to keep the price low but I think Hyundai should offer only the 3.3L V6 on the SF. -
joe97 Posts: 2,248Not a chance, at least in the crossover lineup. If anything, it would be Veracruz, but the diesel variant is coming over to the North American market in a few years.
I can see the coupe with V8 but why when the V6 produces upwards in the 300hp range. Hyundai could, however, with 400hp output in the coupe :-) -
oscar_gata Posts: 96The Elantra and Sonata are getting diesels in '09/'10? It's expensive to have a diesel engine that passes emissions (around $5000), and both the Elantra and Sonata already get good mileage. EPA rates Sonata as the best mileage Large car and the Elantra gets 25/33 mileage, the best in its class for a non-hybrid. Adding a diesel to a larger SUV makes sense, but for these? Not so much!
j craig Posts: 4In the AM when I start the engine immediately revs to 2000 rpm and stays there for at least 15-20 secs. ( I can just feell the metal on metal inside the motor). It slowly falls back to a fast idle as the motor begins to warm up. My dealer just says "they all do that" and there's no way to adjust so just forget about it. Since a lot of wear can happen during this start up period does anyone have any comments on their experience on start up. (Lucas additive?) Thanks
somedai1 Posts: 416it is typical for a car to rev high and then settle to its normal rpm with no action from the driver. whether or not that is too high - i'm not sure... but it seems normal. if it does not settle back to it's normal rpm then there is a problem or if it stays high for an extended period of time. if you actually feel grinding then there is a problem. if you are just concerned for the wear of your engine - i would suggest using synthetic oil all the time - possibly royal purple. Lucas is good but it may not be necessary. Hyundai says not to use additives. oil companies say their oils have all the additives they need already in the oil. if friction concerns you you can try all the different advertised stuff to see what works for you. if you have that ticking noise in your engine CD2 helps but it will not repair any major problem.
bbawt Posts: 3My service dept just told me the clacking sound when accelerating when the engine is cold is likely "piston slap" - very rare but occurs. They said they may need to rebuild the engine or replace the engine. The SF is just under 2 years old and 24k kms. I really don't want a "new" rebuilt vehicle, even the new engine makes me nervous. Any advice or thoughts on how I should be handling this?
allan1966 Posts: 1My 2004 Santa Fe made a noice and then just stopped. I got a 04 Santa Fe with 3.5 L the water pump locked up going down the road. It never overheated. the Auto repair shop also replaced the timing belt. The mechanics told me that the engine would have to be replaced after they started it up. I think that they might have gotten the timing belt off a tooth. Like I said earlier the vehicle never overheated it stayed just around 210 degrees never did smoke. The timing belt wasn't that bad just frayed on the edeges. The engine has only 51k miles & frequent lof's. I am not sure if I trust this mechanics dianosis . He first said the engine seized and then when a mechanic friend talked to him the auto repair mechanic said it started but it made a noise and he shut it off quick. The said this was a common problem with 2004 engines. i been trying to look it up on internet and i do not see that this is a comon problem (I am I wrong). I think something fishy. The story keeps changing and I said i was taking it to another mechanic. They only charge me for the cost of the parts but did not finish the job (did not hook up the altenator or wires) and I afraid to take it out of the shop and blame it on the next shop (who happens to be owned by a friend of a friend). What do you think or know about known problems with 2004 Santa Fe engines or could youmake any suggestion how to handle this problem?
santafe10 Posts: 1On April 24.2010 I purchased my Santa Fe 2010 Limited AWD V6 3.6L, with 6 speed automatic transmission.
On August 20.2010 with 4222 miles on the odometer The Hyundai Technician diagnosed "main bearing failure" need to replace "short block".
As of today September 6.2010 I'm still without my Santa Fe.
I've contacted the Hyundai Corp. for a replacement engine to no avail.
Has anyone experienced engine problems on the new 2010 3.6L engine?
Thank you, -
chaliec Posts: 3Engine on my 2002 Sante fe just shut down while driving! Mechanic can't find whats wrong with it. Plugs r getting spark & fuel but car will not turn over, starter just turns & turns. Did computer diagnostics with the ecu, but nothing showing up either. All fuses & relays appear to be good.
Can anybody help?
Chalie C -
chaliec Posts: 3Thanks 4 you reply!
It has 191000 and no the timing belt hasn't been changed. Compression test was done on the 3 right side cylinders and their all pushing 120. No noise when starter is engaged trying to turn over engine, so I don't think valves were bent. Fuel & spark are getting to plugs. Gone to try the crank sensor next, even though they didn't get that error code. Do you know where that is located on the 2.7 Delta? -
pen2guin3 Posts: 5I almost have the same problem as the above post but upon restarting my engine does turn over and starts but roughly 4 to 7 seconds later it dies again...? Any possible causes and/or solutions would be much appreciated. OK - first thing first I have a 2004 Santa Fe (4 cyl 2.7 L FWD) with only 42,000 miles on it. Coming from home work roughly doing 25 - 35mph my car all of a suddenly stalls - coasting to a stop (while crossing a very busy intersection I might add). After putting it in park I try to restart it - the engine cranks over as usual and starts but roughly 4 to 7 seconds afterwards it stalls again. I did this 4 or 5 times again with the same results. I'm almost positive the check engine light is on. The next day I popped the hood to see if the belt broke but its fine so I tried to start it again (same results engine starts but after 4 to 7 sec. stalls again). Before this engine trouble I haven't had one ounce of trouble from my Santa Fe. Not to be funny but yes there is a half a tank of gas in it...lol.. with all fluids filled as they should be. After some research I kind of think its the Crank-shaft sensor (seems to be a problem with them in the Santa Fe's). Does anyone have the same issue and/or solution before I finally take it in to the dealership...? Thanks in advance......!
altosteph Posts: 3I've had 2 incidents now where it seems that my 2009 Limited AWD Santa Fe (auto transmission) has lost power while driving. I was not driving in AWD with either incident. I have about 48K miles on the car.
The first time, I was driving on the expressway at 65 mph and suddenly I lost the ability to accelerate. I would push down on the accelerator, the RPM dial would increase, but the car would not accelerate and started slowing down gradually until I pulled off to the side of the road. 3 lights came on -- The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) and Check Engine (Malfunction Indicator Light) had a steady light. The AWD System Warning Light flashed. I pulled off to the side of the road. Shut off the car, and then restarted it without problems. The check engine light stayed on, but the other lights went out. The next morning I took the car into my local mechanic (the check engine light was on as I drove it there) and of course by the time they looked at it, the check engine light was off. They kept the car for a couple of days, test drove it several times and couldn't reproduce the problem.
The 2nd incident occurred about 3 weeks later...same scenario except that I was driving about 40 mph at the time. The check engine light stayed on when I used the car a couple of times over about a 16 hour period, but then went off. I'm taking it to a local dealer this weekend for them to check it out.
Has anyone else experienced this, or have any suggestions of what to look for? -
cm2120 Posts: 1This exact thing just happened to me yesterday, same make/model & same mileage. I am going to call the dealer today to have them take a look but I am wondering what the final outcome was of your issue?? I am actually out of town on a family vacation so this is putting quite a dent in our plans...I would be most interested in hearing back from you as to what the root cause of the issue was, what the repair consisted of and the approximate cost.
Thank you,

Montpelier High School debaters head to national tournamentBy Gayle Hanson
Staff Writer | May 14,2013Jeb Wallace-Brodeur Staff Photo
Montpelier High School debate champions Tom Nowlan and Nina Merriam sit with their trophy in the schools library.MONTPELIER To hear Montpelier High School debate champions Nina Merriam and Tom Nowlan tell it, the two have a history of debating one another that goes back to their years at Main Street Middle School.
We used to fight all the time, said Merriam, a senior heading for Smith College in the fall.
I dont remember what we argued about, but we were always taking different points of view, said Nowlan, a junior.
Now, the two have parlayed their head-butting skills into a trip to Birmingham, Ala., in June where they will compete in the National Speech and Debate Tournament, a contest that pits teams from around the country against each other. It wasnt an easy row to hoe.
When we first started working together all of our meetings would turn into debates, said Merriam. Now, we do a lot of work on the Internet in preparation.
If the two students have been arguing with each other since middle school, it was under the guidance of Marijke Russo, MHS English teacher and debate coach, who taught Merriam and Nowlan the ins and outs of presenting an argument in a formal context. Students dont get to pick their subject or which side of an argument theyre on instead they work with the topics and guidelines set for them by the national organization.
Students must be able to argue either the pro or con position on any debate topic. And when the Montpelier pair placed first in the regional championships, competing against students from schools in three states, it was by arguing in favor of government-supplied health care.
When they go on to the national championships the topic will be drones, and there is more than $200,000 in scholarship money in the offing.
We were really surprised at the high level of debate that we have here in Montpelier, Merriam said. Not every town was as well prepared as we were.
Both Merriam and Nowlan credit their participation in debate for making them much more effective communicators, both in and out of school.
I just want to emphasize that this is a transferable skill, said Merriam.
The two admit they are very different in terms of both their personalities and presence, as well as the type of work they do in preparation for debate.
I came into debating with a lot of fire and passion, said Nowlan. Ive always been contentious and argumentative. Nina has definitely taught me to express myself in a calm, controlled manner.
Merriam, the more measured of the two, usually spends a lot of time in research and preparation.
Were the total opposite in our styles. Hes passionate and really quick on his feet, while I like to prepare a lot for building our argument, said Merriam, whose older brother also debated at Montpelier High School.
Both students could agree on one thing: that it was worth their time to get involved with debating at MHS and sticking with the program.
It takes a lot of time, said Nowlan. So my advice to other students thinking about debate is to stick with it.
While the two will travel in June to Alabama for the national debate championships, Merriam is headed first to Georgia along with four other MHS students to the National Academic Quiz Tournament in Atlanta over the Memorial Day weekend.
The five-person team includes Merriam and four sophomores, Martin Allen, Jonah Francke, Seth Herz and Mitchell Whalen.
The thing Im really excited about is that we have four students competing who are sophomores and freshmen, said Brooke Pearson, who coaches the academic scholars team. That means that weve got a good group coming through for the future.
Things arent looking as good for the debate team. When Merriam graduates Nowlan will be the sole student debater left at the school.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER A Republican representative has once again introduced legislation to allow for a...

not feeling pregnant and worried
Comments (8)
I haven't been ravenous since I started the 2nd trimester. I doubt I've gained any weight since my last appt. I am 14 weeks today and my next appt. is next month (anatomy scan). Your body probably doesn't need the extra calories right now. Imagine if we ate like pigs the entire 9 months?!
My appetite has gone down since I started the second trimester, but I am still gaining weight. This happened with my first pregnancy too, so I'm not worried about the appetite thing. I do feel like my bloat has gone down though and felt a little less pregnanct because of that, but am trying hard not to worry:) It is so hard not to worry though!
Not much has sounded good to me for my entire pregnancy as far as food goes, but I do notice that about once a week I have a day where I am an empty pit! I had that day yesterday and just couldn't seem to stay full. On a normal day I don't have that nearly as much and have actually drastically cut down on how much I'm eating and my portion sizes since I became preggo. If I eat to much at a time I feel super sick.


text: So in my house right now is a HUGE bag of mini butterfingers & ..it has three different kinds in it..the regular kind..the ones with peanut butter in them and some other kind ive never had before that have the texture of kit-kats. .Please lord don't let me eat any! Oh & by the way butterfingers just happen to be my favorite candy :/ I could seriously see myself eating 15 of these lil mini devils lol...Not even kidding either. Ever wish you lived in a house where EVERYONE was on a diet ? I just wanna go tell everyone " you cant bring that in here " but I realize not everyone is on a diet..sigh =[

Dear one and all,
Sorry to disturb you all but I thought I would reinstall fallout 3 the other day. Unfortunately it's run into a problem.
Right at the beginning when you are born, I choose whether i'm a boy or girl, and the doctor in front of me moves away. I can then cry and my mother says effectivily aww. Unfortunately then the game goes no further. I can still cry and the hospital noises are still around but thats it. The game doesn't continue.
I've tried looking around the net and noted that a few other people have had the same issue but no one has replied with a decent answer other than downloading some mod that will skip the whole beginning. I really don't want to skip the beginning and would like the full fallout experience.
if anyone could help with this I would be most greatful.
PS - I have patched the game to its most current edition

Hey, I never played F3 on a PC, but I found this on the internet (which is a web destination):
"Delete all the files in your my documents/my games/fallout 3 folder and start the fallout 3 launch menu. It'll tell you its going to detect settings for your computer. Accept them, DON'T CHANGE THEM AT ALL, and just hit play.
Once you start a new game, it should work; it did for me. I think it has something to do with altering the suggested settings."
Hope it helps.

A Reporting Limit (RL or RDL) is the limit of detection for a specific target analyte for a specific sample after any adjustments have been made for dilutions or percent moisture. Some state regulatory programs require a laboratory to prove it can reliably "see" down to its RL by setting the RL at the lowest point on the calibration curve.
In contrast, the Method Detection Limit or MDL is lower than the RL (often much lower) and is a statistical calculation. Since the MDL is below the point of calibration, results reported down to the MDL are not reliable and must be qualified as estimated values and, as such, carry a "J" qualifier designation.

Chávez ratchets up military spending, as Obama reaches out to Latin America
"The Russia-Venezuela condominium is emblematic of geopolitical forces rising to challenge US leadership and influence," Ariel Cohen, a former Soviet expert at the conservative Heritage Foundation, wrote in a recent report.
Even taking into account a legitimate need for military modernization, the US has made clear it is uncomfortable with Venezuela's frenetic pace of purchases, which critics insist could spark a regional arms race. Venezuela, meanwhile, insists that sitting downwind and unarmed from the world's sole superpower is just as uncomfortable.
In a world defined solely by geopolitics, the military buildup is frightening but the geopolitical argument taken alone ignores the billions of dollars worth of commerce linking regional economies. For example, Venezuela and Colombia are both among each other's most important trading partners and both sides have taken concrete steps towards improving their frayed ties since President Juan Manual Santos replaced Álvaro Uribe last year.
"While this may not fully appease skeptics about Chávez's intentions, it is a gross distortion to define the Venezuelan leader as a 'security threat,' " the Council of Hemispheric Affairs wrote in a policy report earlier this year.

I was so surprised when Chris reached out for me to take over her salon Top Cuts. I heard that she had been ill, but I also heard she had made an amazing recovery and I already knew what she was capable of skill wise, so I thought it must have been a joke.
I was gobsmacked when I saw the behavior of her staff and manager and got to know more about her business model -- it was not the Christine I knew. I quickly discovered the staff felt the same way, and they all wanted the "Old Chris" back. I was nervous she was gone forever.

Junkfood Horror: Worst Halloween Costumes in B-Horror
Features By Brian Salisbury on October 31, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to Junkfood Cinema; the only thing tricky about our treats is getting to them before we do. This is the scariest movie column on the internet. It combines the horror of watching terrible movies with every child's worst nightmare: heart disease. Every witch-filled week we are haunted by a terrifyingly bad film that we manage to exorcise from the house by mocking its many ghastly faults. Then, because we don't speak ill of the dead…when they're in the room, we profess our undying affection for said abomination. Lately, we've been going the more conceptual route, which is frightening in and of itself considering the unsettling dearth of smarts in our skeleton crew. However, knocking on the door of Junkfood Cinema will always yield a delicious, if sure-to-kill-you-slowly, snack themed to the movie. Happy Junkfoodween, bats and ghouls! This is our absolute favorite holiday of the year. While we know many of you may be conflicted and not wish to choose Halloween over that other big holiday at the end of the year, we have no compunction about telling Guy Fawkes Day to take a flying fawk. This is the time of year when adults are allowed to be children again…wild, boozed up, scantily clad children. Okay, well maybe not children, but at least more inclined to indulge their love of things like candy, scary movies, and dressing up in costumes. This tradition is not lost on the horror genre and even the schlockiest of titles often feature Halloween […]
'King Kelly' Trailer Was Shot Entirely on iPhones, But Don't Let That Scare You
Movie News By Nathan Adams on September 26, 2012 | Comments (1)If modern technologies like video upload sites and HD video cameras small enough to fit into phones are scaring you because of the new possibilities they bring to narcissistic vanity goblins like Internet porn stars and reality TV actors, then King Kelly might be the scariest horror movie you see all year. But, if teenage-aimed movies like Project X, which glorify the most vapid and soulless aspects of party-obsessed youth culture, really get under your skin and make you mad, then King Kelly might be the funniest piece of satire you see all year. Shot entirely on iPhones and telling the story of a teenage girl who makes amateur strip videos (Louisa Krause) looking to get into the world of indie filmmaking (you know, so she can be famous), King Kelly appears to be a brutal skewering of the self-obsession and celebrity worship that's running rampant in today's culture. Thanks to advances in modern technology, nearly anyone can now take a shot at becoming famous (as long as they're willing to humiliate themselves), and the effects of that seem to be a gradual poisoning of our society that's not looking like it's going to end anytime soon.

Ioana Uricaru, Assistant Professor of Film and Media Culture at Middlebury College, was born in Romania and grew up during the country's communist dictatorship, experiencing the violent anti-government uprising in 1989 and the equally traumatic transition that followed. She initially studied Biology, graduating with a Master of Science in Biochemistry from the University of Bucharest before she decided to become a filmmaker.
She relocated to Los Angeles in 2001 to study at University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts, where she received a Master of Fine Arts in Film and Television Production and a Doctorate in Critical Studies. Her doctoral research focused on the relationship between discourse and experience in cinema, analyzing it through the perspective of the neuroscience of emotion. Her scholarly work on contemporary Romanian cinema has been published in The Velvet Light Trap, Film Quarterly and The Blackwell Companion to Eastern European Cinemas (edited by Aniko Imre), and her film criticism and reviews have been published in several Romanian and international newspapers and journals.
Professor Uricaru is a director and screenwriter whose films have been included in the Official Selections at festivals such as Cannes (2009), Sundance (2011) and AFI (2007). She co-directed the omnibus Tales From the Golden Age (Mobra Films, 2009), distributed commercially in over 30 countries, including the US. Her first feature as a writer-director, After the Wedding, currently in pre-production, has been developed through the Cinefondation Residency of the Cannes Film Festival and at the Sundance Directors' lab program.

Days after Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 went down, the crash site remained in near chaos, with no cordons around plane debris, investigators complaining about access and the remains of victims lingering before being moved to refrigerated railcars. Pro-Russian separatists were at the site Saturday and at times hostile to emergency workers and journalists but appeared to be largely absent on Sunday. (Follow the latest updates on the Malaysia Airlines crash in Ukraine.)

CANBERRA, Australia—Australia offered to send urgently needed energy supplies to Ukraine to help outflank Russian curbs on coal shipments to its smaller neighbor that have contributed to blackouts across the country.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said resource-rich Australia was ready to sell coal and uranium shipments directly to Ukraine, whose president, Petro Poroshenko, is on a three-day state visit here. Mr. Poroshenko and Mr. Abbott also pledged closer diplomatic and trade ties following the downing earlier this year of a Malaysia Airlines plane, allegedly by pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine.
"Australia is an energy superpower and energy security is very important to Ukraine, particularly given its current vulnerability to supply," Mr. Abbott told reporters in Melbourne on Thursday. Diplomatic relations between the far-flung allies have warmed since the tragedy, which killed 38 Australian citizens and residents who were on board the downed jet.
Ukraine is embroiled in an armed conflict with pro-Russian militants who have choked off coal supplies from mines in areas under their control. Russia's blockade has worsened the country's plight, squeezing the supply of coal to several thermal power plants. A plunging currency has added to Ukraine's woes.
Mr. Abbott has been a vocal critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin over his backing of the separatists, who are accused of shooting down Flight MH17 with 298 people aboard in July.
An international investigation is under way, but Russia maintains the Ukrainian government and military brought down the plane.
Mr. Abbott has also been critical of Russia's backing for the pro-Moscow militants and its annexation of Ukraine's Crimea peninsula. In a meeting with Mr. Putin ahead of last month's Group-of-20 summit in Australia, Mr. Abbott demanded the Russian president do more to assist the Dutch-led investigation into the downing of the airliner, and to end his support for the rebels.
"I would say to Mr. Putin that this is an opportunity to be a statesman as well as a patriot," Mr. Abbott said Thursday. Mr. Poroshenko said he had discussed nuclear-energy cooperation with his counterpart, but didn't say whether the Australian prime minister's specific offer had been accepted.
"There is the possibility for Ukraine to buy Australian uranium for our nuclear power stations," Mr. Poroshenko said, telling reporters that Mr. Abbott, who is beset by slumping voter support at home, was among one of his own country's most popular foreign leaders.
As well as being a major coal exporter, Australia is one of the biggest suppliers of uranium, and holds the world's largest recoverable reserves of yellowcake. Mr. Abbott's government earlier this year suspended uranium supplies to Russia as part of a swath of retaliatory trade and banking-related embargoes imposed in the wake of the MH17 disaster.

Trucks carrying parts of the wreckage of downed Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 arrive at Gilze-Rijen military base in the Netherlands Tuesday, from Ukraine.
AMSTERDAM—The first pieces of wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 arrived in the Netherlands on Tuesday from Ukraine.
Two convoys of trucks arrived at the Gilze-Rijen military air base, and another two are scheduled to arrive later in the week.
The wreckage could provide more clues about the cause of the crash, and investigators will reconstruct parts of the Boeing Co. 777 jetliner. They have set up a research facility in one of the air base's hangars.
The Netherlands suffered the highest death toll in the July 17 disaster, and it is leading the international investigation into the crash and identification of the victims.
Flight 17 was most likely downed by a missile when it was traveling to Kuala Lumpur from Amsterdam, a catastrophe that killed all 298 people aboard and rained shards of aircraft and bodies across a remote conflict zone controlled by pro-Russia rebels.
Ukraine, the U.S. and other Western governments have said the rebels, who were armed with surface-to-air missiles, are responsible for the crash. Moscow, however, blames Ukraine.
The recovery of the wreckage had been delayed because of fighting between Ukrainian government forces and the separatist fighters. A train carrying the wreckage left the area on Nov. 23 for the government-controlled city of Kharkiv, where it was transferred to trucks that needed around a week to get to the Netherlands.
The Dutch Safety Board, the government body in charge of the crash investigation, in September issued an interim report that found high-energy objects struck the plane and caused it to break apart.
The final crash report is expected next summer.
By Andy Pasztor, Robert Wall
Debris from the crash site of the Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 is being load at the Pelahiivskyi train station ahead of its transportation to Kharkov last month.
European air-safety officials are considering novel steps to safeguard airliners from potential military threats in the wake of July's downing of a Malaysia Airlines jet, but some proposals are provoking controversy among other countries.
The safety discussions follow the death of 196 Dutch citizens and 102 victims from other nations in the presumed shootdown of Malaysia Flight 17 by a high-altitude antiaircraft missile over eastern Ukraine. Propelled by intense public demands for action in the Netherlands, Dutch authorities are pushing to create a first-of-its-kind passenger notification system—intended to explicitly warn travelers about possible dangers of flights over war zones—according to industry and government officials.
Specifics are under debate and the outcome remains unclear. Dutch officials envision that such warnings would be provided to passengers before takeoff, according to these officials. But it remains unclear exactly how or when travelers would receive the notifications.
The initial concept sparked strong opposition from international safety experts concerned about unilateral action by the Netherlands or the European Commission.
At the same time, the European Aviation Safety Agency, the region's premier regulator, is conducting a detailed safety review in conjunction with military and intelligence groups of recent overflights of various countries by Russian military planes. EASA previously steered clear of military matters, but an agency spokesman said European Union defense officials asked it to investigate the matter more closely.
Russia in the past has denied its flights are provocative.
The separate initiatives highlight Europe's continued focus on finding new ways to protect passenger planes from the fallout of hostilities on the ground or military maneuvers in the air.
The issues are expected to come to a head on Tuesday and Wednesday during closed-door meetings in Montreal, when a task force set up by the International Civil Aviation Organization, an arm of the United Nations, debates recommendations for stepped-up warnings to airlines about airspace hazards.
Both EASA and ICAO, as the U.N. group is known, seek more extensive security data to provide better guidance to carriers about where it is and isn't safe to fly.
The high-level group advising ICAO favors, among other things, more-coordinated sharing of information about hostile threats to commercial aviation world-wide. Members of the task force, according to people involved in the process, also are seeking a compromise that will satisfy Dutch passenger-rights advocates while avoiding disruptions to current ticketing and routing arrangements.
Dutch officials didn't respond to requests for comment. Spokesmen for ICAO and the International Air Transport Association, the airline industry's top global trade group, have declined to comment on details of the task force's deliberations.
Based on preliminary recommendations, the ICAO panel is expected to call for more timely and proactive steps to formally alert carriers when airspace is closed due to identification of antiaircraft missiles or other advanced weapons on the ground. In addition, ICAO already has launched pilot programs to set up centralized clearinghouses of updated information about shifting military threats to airliners.
ICAO's policy-making council won't consider any proposals until February and internal plans indicate some of the changes could take many more months—or even years—to implement. Nonetheless, one ICAO document emphasizes "there is significant room for improvement to reinforce and enhance" civil aviation safety with regard to conflict zones.
Patrick Ky, EASA's executive director, told a hearing of the European Parliament's transportation committee in September that his agency was entirely dependent on U.S. intelligence in assessing the safety of airspace in other regions. Since then, however, the downing of Flight 17 and its aftermath have led EASA to start working more closely with European military and intelligence personnel to develop ways to share relevant security information, according to industry and government officials.
"Intelligence services should share information about air-space issues better," Peter van Dalen, a Dutch member of the European Parliament's transportation committee, said. The information should be circulated among security services and all airlines, he said, expressing frustration that some carriers were avoiding Ukrainian air space before the Malaysian airliner was shot down while others continued flying there.
Traditionally, intelligence agencies have opposed to widely sharing information, particularly with companies. That remains a potentially major stumbling block for ICAO's plans.
Thomas Windmuller, senior vice president for security at IATA, the airline trade group, said the challenge can be managed through the type of information that is shared. "We don't need to know sources and methods" by which the intelligence was collected, he said. "We need to know what the operational consequences are."
Where there are doubts about airspace security, flights should be barred, Mr. van Dalen said. Ukraine had closed airspace below where Flight 17 was cruising, though left the air space above 32,000 feet clear for airlines to traverse. Partial openings make no sense in an era where "there is so much modern equipment that could be in the hands of insurgents," Mr. van Dalen said.
David McMillan, a veteran safety official who previously ran Eurocontrol, the region's umbrella air-traffic control network, is heading up the ICAO task force. At a conference in Abu Dhabi last month, Mr. McMillan said Flight 17 convinced both industry leaders and regulators "to act urgently on what many people saw as a new threat."
Since the wide-body Boeing 777 was following an authorized route in unrestricted airspace open to any airliner, Mr. McMillan told the audience, the tragedy came "as something of a surprise to many" national aviation authorities. But looking forward, he predicted "it will be exceedingly difficult for intelligence information to be shared" outside existing national cooperative agreements.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization last month said flights of Russian bombers have surged recently and that alliance members conducted more than 100 intercepts of Russian aircraft this year. The Russian planes typically don't file flight plans or use transponders, which makes them difficult for civilian air-traffic controllers to detect.
Michael Fallon, the U.K.'s defense secretary, said in a recent interview that such flights provocative and illegal. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg also urged recently "more transparency and predictability" between Russia and the alliance "to avoid that the crisis spirals into something worse."

A train carrying debris from the crash site of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 heads for Kharkiv on Sunday.
MOSCOW—A train carrying the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 left a separatist-controlled area of Eastern Ukraine on Sunday bound for the government-controlled city of Kharkiv, Interfax reported.
The Russian news agency said the debris will later be shipped to the Netherlands, which has suffered the highest death toll in the July 17 disaster and has led the international investigation and identification of the victims.
Flight 17 was downed by a missile when it was traveling from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, a catastrophe that killed all 298 people aboard and rained shards of aircraft and bodies across a remote conflict zone controlled by pro-Russia rebels. Ukraine, the U.S. and other Western governments have said that the separatists, who were armed with surface-to-air missiles, are responsible for the crash, while Moscow blames Ukraine.
The agency said the wreckage is being accompanied by Dutch police and observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. The OSCE wasn't available to comment.
The train, which has 12 freight cars and one passenger car, will arrive in Kharkiv, the largest city in the Eastern Ukraine, on Sunday evening, according to Russian news agencies.
The train is also carrying the remains of some victims. Most of the human remains from the crash have already been recovered and were shipped to the Netherlands via Kharkiv.

A crane carries wreckage of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 near Hrabove, east Ukraine, on Sunday.
HRABOVE, Ukraine—Recovery workers in rebel-controlled eastern Ukraine have started collecting debris from the crash site of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, four months after the plane was brought down.
Sunday's operation is being carried out under the supervision of Dutch investigators and officials from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. The recovered fragments will be loaded onto trains and ferried to the government-controlled eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, and the investigation into the cause of the crash is being conducted there and in the Netherlands.
All 298 people aboard the Boeing 777 flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur were killed when it was shot down July 17 over a rebel-held area of Ukraine. Ukraine and the West have blamed the attack on Russia-backed separatists using a ground-to-air missile.

Russian President Vladimir Putin left a weekend meeting in Australia of the world's wealthy and developing nations ahead of other world leaders Sunday, after facing stiff criticism over Moscow's role in the Ukraine crisis.
As leaders gathered for a meeting of the Group of 20 major economies in Brisbane, British Prime Minister David Cameron took a swipe at Moscow and threatened tougher sanctions against Russia, while his Canadian counterpart Stephen Harper told Mr. Putin to "get out of Ukraine" amid unconfirmed reports of Russian troops and tanks entering Ukraine.
Russia and Ukraine loomed over the weekend forum, as world leaders met to sign off on a target of global growth of 2% or more by 2018, agreed in February during a meeting of world finance ministers.
The leaders of the U.S., Australia and Japan on Sunday issued a joint statement saying they agreed on "bringing to justice those responsible for the downing of Flight MH17" in eastern Ukraine. The U.S. and other nations have accused Russia of stoking violence that led to the shooting down of the Malaysia Airlines flight in July by Moscow-backed separatists, killing all 298 people on board. Russia has rejected any link to the shooting down of the airliner, as well as accusations of sending troops and armored vehicles into Ukraine.
In the lead-up to the G-20 meeting, Australia's navy tracked a small but powerful Russian fleet making its way south in international waters off Australia's northeast coast, led by a missile cruiser and accompanying destroyer, with two support ships. The Russian Embassy said the ships were researching climate change.

Ukrainian soldiers prepare to load coffins with the remains of passengers from Flight 17 onto a plane during a Saturday ceremony at the airport in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv.
For Robby Oehlers, whose cousin was killed aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, it took 13 weeks for his patience to snap.
Since the plane was shot out of the sky in July, he and his family have had no updates from Dutch forensics teams trying to identify the remains of 20-year-old Daisy Oehlers and the other 297 victims who were on board the plane. By mid-October, amid stalled international recovery efforts at the Ukrainian crash site, they had lost hope of finding a remnant of her to bury.
So on Oct. 19, Mr. Oehlers journeyed to the crash site in eastern Ukraine to call attention to the predicament of bereaved relatives. He was amazed at the voluminous amounts of personal belongings still strewn across miles of agricultural fields—and appalled to see a human forearm under airline debris. "Our country is moving on. But we [the victims' families] still can't," he said. "Their bones are still in a field far from home."
Monday marked a national day of mourning in the Netherlands, where more than 1,600 relatives and friends of victims gathered in an Amsterdam conference center for a ceremony organized by the Dutch government. Candles were lit to represent the victims, 196 of whom were Dutch citizens.
The ceremony was attended by Dutch King Willem Alexander and Queen Máxima and scores of public officials from the Netherlands and other countries that lost citizens in the disaster. Relatives read out the names and age of each victim. Some gave a speech or recited a poem in which they expressed grief, but also gratitude to rescue workers.
But behind the public expressions, tension is simmering among many families as they struggle with emotional and legal fallout in the wake of the disaster. Some Flight 17 families have split over issues of inheritance and debt, while others must untangle guardianship issues for parentless children.
Many others, such as the Oehlers, face an agonizing decision of how and when to bury their loved ones when investigators still haven't recovered all of the remains.
Flight 17 was downed by a missile on July 17 when it was traveling from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, a catastrophe that rained shards of aircraft and bodies across a remote conflict zone controlled by pro-Russia rebels. Ukraine, the U.S. and other Western governments have said that the separatists, who were armed with surface-to-air missiles, are responsible for the crash, while Moscow blames Ukraine.
Since the disaster, the Ukrainian ground war has raged on. Despite the insecure conditions, the Dutch-led forensics and crash investigators have visited the site 10 times, according to Jean Fransman, spokesman for the Dutch Security Ministry. The government says that it is committed to gathering all the remains.
"The main reason to go or not to go is the safety assessment that we do every day," he said. "Every opportunity we have we take. Even if it is a small opportunity, with a small team, we take it."
The cautious pace has raised controversy. It has forced Dutch investigators to delay publication of the final crash investigation report until 2015, after initially indicating that the report would be finished by 2014. That time frame means that no possible criminal or civil cases could be filed in Holland until two years after the crash, Dutch lawyers say.
For families, the slow pace of investigation has left many in emotional limbo about a basic issue of burial.
"Dutch bureaucracy is slowing it [the investigation]. There is no urgency," says Bob Van der Goen, a retired lawyer whose firm represented victims in two previous airline crashes. His son, who took over the firm, represents 10 Flight 17 families as they explore what other recourse they might have for compensation before that report is finished.
By late October, forensics teams had identified remains belonging to 289 of the people aboard the plane from the collection of body parts and charred bones collected days after the crash in July.
News of a positive identification has been bittersweet. A couple dozen families have received recognizable corpses. Many others, such as Silene Fredriksz, who lost her 23-year-old son, Bryce, have been told that only a small portion of their loved ones' remains have been recovered. In her case, her child's right foot.
"The government is telling us, 'Here is your child.' But who can agree to bury a simple bone…when there might be more [body parts] that could be found? It is agony," said Mr. Oehlers, whose cousin Daisy was Bryce's girlfriend. "A parent can barely cope with burying a child one time, let alone twice. The government doesn't understand this pain."
Mr. Oehlers, a former Dutch military airman and a contestant on his nation's version of "The Voice" reality-television show, said it was a mix of personal frustration and political calculation that led to his decision to fly to Ukraine himself last month.
His family was one of the few that by mid-October had no positive identification from the forensics teams. He felt that the nation's attention to the disaster had faded. So, before he left Amsterdam, he arranged with the country's national broadcaster to film his journey.
When he arrived at the crash site, he was amazed at the ease at which a determined person could reach the area.
At his cursory exploration at one portion of the crash site, he felt an emotional punch when he saw what he said was a clearly recognizable human forearm lodged under a piece of airplane wreckage and the underbrush.
"That is when I snapped," he said. "I thought, 'If these were Americans, there wouldn't still be body parts on the ground three months after a disaster.'"
His visit was broadcast on state television news. A day afterward, Dutch forensics investigators back in Holland called to say that a 10-centimeter bone shard collected from the crash site in July had been identified as Daisy's hip bone.
On Oct. 31, a week after Mr. Oehlers returned from Ukraine, Dutch official investigators publicized their own collection efforts at the crash site, after weeks of no action. The team collected several bundles of remains and personal items. These fresh pieces of evidence arrived in Holland on Saturday.
Mr. Fransman, the government spokesman, says that the Oct. 31 recovery effort wasn't conducted in response to Mr. Oehlers' trip or timed to coincide with the national commemorations. "We welcome comments and criticism from the families and public, but they don't influence our work," he said.
Not all families are as angry as Mr. Oehlers. Others, such as Hans de Borst, are still numb with grief.
His 17-year-old daughter Elsemiek was one of the first victims to be identified. Her body was on the first of the flights in July that repatriated remains from Ukraine.
After he buried his only child—who was killed together with her mother and stepfather on the flight—Mr. de Borst turned inward to cope with his loss. He has taken indefinite leave from his job as a banking executive. His modest suburban home outside of Rotterdam is now filled with photos of his dead daughter, her life frozen into snapshots of happiness and smiles.
Mr. de Borst is complimentary of the Dutch government efforts to handle what has become a national tragedy and wary of lawyers and politicians he believes are trying to capitalize on his and other families' grief.
Mr. Oehlers has been criticized within the family-support network that has sprouted up in Holland. But Mr. de Borst says he understands his motivation to act.
"Robby went there. I think it is good what he did," Mr. de Borst said. "I know these people say that more should be done, that they are angry with the government and they want them to do more. But you have to be realistic. It is dangerous [in Ukraine]. I think they [the government] are doing everything they can."

...and it worked really well! It's that time of year when there are squash and zucchini everywhere. Thought y'all would appreciate another recipe to use it up. I julienned my squash and prepared them the same way the carrots are prepared in the recipe. I think almost any vegetable would go into this dish well. Jap Chae is a yummy, filling Korean stir-fried noodle dish, flavored basically with just onion, soy sauce and sugar. The sweet potato starch noodles, aka glass noodles, can sometimes be found on the "Asian/International Aisle" of chain grocery stores, if you don't have a market that specializes nearby. Everything else is readily available. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Jap Chae Recipe and Video
Follow-Up Postings:
Good thought! You might also want to try pickling them lightly with some rice vinegar. One of our fav Korean fusion restaurants puts pickled young ginger or pickled radishes (depending on the season) into the bebimbop (rice bowls) but it would work for Jap Chae as well. Don't let the squash sit in the rice vinegar; just a quick dip for a minute or two, and out again. |
Thanks, Amanda, I've kept that link. I'm always looking for something quick that uses lots of vegetables. No getting sweet potato noodles anywhere within 50 miles of here, of course, but it's on my list for the next trip to the Asian market! Annie |

Being the Center of the Universe
I was helping a friend with his business website on Sunday; he uses Shopify for ecommerce but wants to move to WordPress for his CMS mostly because of the excellent WPML plugin for multilingual websites (affiliate link, but I would recommend it for free).

Bending the Truth
Cereal is my breakfast food of choice. I usually buy it at Costco, and last time we were there I happened to buy a box of "Vector" cereal "meal replacement". The front of the box advertises the fact that it contains 13 grams of protein per serving, and I wondered as the box was in my cart whether they had sneakily included the protein from the milk (after all, it is the "suggested serving").

Sealing granite countertops is a DIY project even a novice DIYer can handle. Follow these step-by-step instructions (with pictures) to protect your countertops.
Contractors say homeowners with this trait are the most satisfied with home improvement projects.
Want to update your bathroom without leaving it outdated in a decade? Consider these bathroom remodel ideas for counters, colors and style that transcend time.
Angie's Answers
Artificial (quartz) is cheaper, more uniform, has fewer voids to collect dirt, and is almost as abrasion and chip resistant.
Granite is more expensive, stains and collects dirt a little easier as a rule, and is slighly more chip resistant as a rule.
For durability, I would not rate one over the other - barring a 250 lb guy hopping up on it and cracking it, either is likely to outlive you. Selection is typically based on appearance - quartz tends to be more uniform looking and does not always do a good job of simulating the veining and variations that natural stone has.
Now some of the man made stone counters rival the real granite and othe stones without the maintainence of stone. There are many of them out there and it is more a choice of looks than anything else. Corian is still a strong choice of tops today and one advantage is it can be repaired when scratched on site. If you don't mind the maintainence you can't beat the looks of real stone though unless you need a few pieces to make up the top as the graining may be hard to match up. I am impressed though at how realistic some of the man made products have become. It is more an issue of what brand are available in your area. Most all are made the same way with crushed stone and basically an epoxy binder used to make the sheets.
Countertop Installation reviews in Jupiter,
Shortly after we contracted Doggers for the work.
Overall it was a great experience considering the length of the project and the way in which the stages were followed, no complaints here. End result turned out amazing. The kitchen completely functional, as opposed to the previous layout it had, and now with the addition of the laundry room we have more space. The bathrooms are amazing to look at. The tile work, and detail is perfectly symmetrical and clean, impressive. We never had an issue and they covered every detail as promised, so job well done."
At first I communicated with emails because I like documentation. No email was ever responded to. Phone calls had time delays up to more than 24 hours. Texting seemed to work but with delays. During the project, I stopped in the office to communicate some concerns. I learned our project manager was on a 4 day cruise. Someone in the office wrote down my concerns but no one in management or anyone else responded. I had to wait until our project manager returned from the cruise. All the workmen, installers, plumbers etc. arrived on time. CThe workmen who did all the installation were courteous and cleaned up after themselves. We took the precautions of covering our furniture with plastic when the kitchen counters were installed. There was a significant about of "quartz dust" from the drilling of the holes for the faucets.
We purchased all the faucets for bathroom sinks, kitchen sink, the kitchen sink, water filtration faucet and garbage disposal independently from the company. The two new bathroom sinks were purchased from the company. The company staff were polite.
The lack of prompt communication, the lack of attention to installation details are the reasons I would not hire the company again."

Emmanuel Adebayor completes £5m move to Tottenham
Emmanuel Adebayor has completed a £5m move to Tottenham Hotspur from Manchester City.
The Togo striker impressed during a loan spell with Spurs last season, scoring 17 Premier League goals.
Adebayor's Spurs record
Games: 37
Goals: 18
Assists: 12
Yellow cards: 8
Adebayor will be among the top earners at White Hart Lane, but City will subsidise the 28-year-old's wage, having paid him £175,000 per week.
The former Arsenal man revealed the news on Twitter: "Tottenham here I come! I'm hungry for goals. Get ready."
Adebayor had two years to run on his City contract, having been sent out on loan for most of the previous two seasons to Real Madrid and then Spurs.
"I am pleased to be signing for Spurs on a permanent basis after finally agreeing my departure with Manchester City," Adebayor added.
"It may have taken longer than expected but I am delighted to be back at Tottenham Hotspur. I really enjoyed my time here last season and I am hoping we can achieve great things together again."
It is understood Spurs refused to break their strict wage structure to accommodate Adebayor.
But with the player refusing to accept a big pay-cut, City were forced to accept having to continue to pay the player the difference between his earnings with them and his new wage of around £80,000 in order to complete the deal.
The development completes a protracted saga, which has dragged on throughout the summer after a disagreement over Adebayor's right to a loyalty bonus pay-off from City.

23rd August 2012 - 12:44The whole problem with Adebayor's wages stems from the footballing genius that is Mark Hughes-don't forget City still have the likes of Santa Cruz on the books on stupid wages too.This is why no initial contract for a footballer should be for more than 3 years - once you find out they are good enough put them on a 6 year contract, like Vincent Kompany is now!

"No club shall enter into a contract which enables any other party to that contract or any third party to acquire the ability to influence in employment and transfer related matters its independence, its policies or the performance of its teams"
City stop paying Ade's contract ends? -
