Those handles are great!
Thanks! They were SO hard to make, though. Took at least 2 hours just for the handles.
Lol, I can definitely believe that! I have had a good look trying to work out how you've done it and I thought that it looked a bit tricky! It does look fantastic though

Fire causes $300K damage to Carmel home
No injuries reported
CARMEL, Ind. - A fire at a large home in Carmel caused more than $300,000 in damages early Wednesday.
Just after 5:30 a.m., witnesses reported heavy smoke and flames shooting from the roof of a residence in the 500 block of East 111th Street.
Carmel Fire Marshall Bruce Knott said the homeowner was asleep when the fire sparked, but he was quickly awakened by the home's alarm system.
Although the homeowner escaped the fire unharmed, he was hospitalized for observation, officials said.
Investigators said the fire appeared to have started in the rear of the home where the homeowner said he had been grilling the night before.

Addressing what some witnesses described as a "flashing light'' right before the accident, Stevens said, "We are confident that any theories concerning flashing lights …can be discarded as a cause for that crash.''
Some had theorized that the driver, Henri Paul, was blinded by a flash of light that sent the car careening into the pillar.
Stevens also addressed the theory that Paul was part of a plot to kill the princess and Fayed. Stevens said that theory was disproven by the fact that the princess and Fayed changed their plans unexpectedly late in the evening of the crash.
"At 7 p.m. that evening, Dodi al Fayed and the Princess of Wales left the Ritz Hotel to go to Dodi al Fayed's apartment," he said. "They had no intentions of returning to the Ritz Hotel that night.''
Stevens said that the couple had planned to dine that night at a well-known Paris restaurant and were on their way there, when, "because of the attention of the paparazzi during the journey, Dodi al Fayed instructed his chauffeur to drive instead to the Ritz Hotel.''
At this point, Paul was unexpectedly called back to the hotel to drive the couple for the remainder of evening.
"Until he was telephoned at 10 p.m. by the Ritz Hotel night duty security officer, he cannot have known that he would be returning to the Ritz Hotel, nor did anyone else,'' Stevens said.
Much has also been made about the fact that the princess was embalmed soon after her death, which made a proper autopsy impossible.
Stevens said Diana was embalmed "for presentation reasons'' and that the decision was made by the embalmer at the time.
The report comes amid a minor media renaissance surrounding Princess Diana and the ever-embattled royal family.
"The Queen,'' a Hollywood movie about the royals' muted, baffled response to Princess Diana's death has generated Oscar buzz. On Tuesday, Diana's sons, Prince William and Prince Henry, announced plans to hold a massive concert this summer at Wembley Stadium to commemorate what would have been their mother's 46th birthday.
Also, a public inquest will be held in England next month to determine the cause of Diana's death.
And Burrell resurfaced this fall to resume his years-long waltz with the press with a new book about Diana's previously unreported private thoughts, feelings and letters. The former butler's 2002 revelation of a note that Diana wrote to him in 1996 sparked the latest investigation.
"My husband is planning an 'accident' in my car, brake failure and serious head injury to make clear the path for him to marry,''' the note said.
Stevens said that the note was investigated and that while there seems to have been "some premonition'' on the part of the princess, he dismissed the notion that there was any sort of plot to kill her.
"It has been part and parcel of what we've considered,'' he said, wearily.

Two undocumented immigrants rescued Saturday near Kingsville by Border Patrol agents
CORPUS CHRISTI - Two undocumented immigrants were rescued Saturday after becoming lost near Kingsville and activating an emergency beacon.
Border Patrol agents at the Kingsville station were alerted Saturday morning after a man from Mexico and a woman from Honduras activated the device. The pair said they were traveling with a group when they were left behind and became lost in the brush, according to a news release.
The pair had not eaten in two days and had received little water.
They were taken to Christus Spohn Hospital Kleberg for medical care and will be returned to their country of origin.
The Border Patrol has six of the tall, red emergency beacons placed throughout six ranches in the Rio Grande Valley. When activated, it sends out a distress signal to the Border Patrol.
Saturday's rescue is the first time the beacon has been activated since being installed in December, officials said.
Border Patrol officials said they have rescued 80 undocumented immigrants in the Rio Grande Valley since the beginning of the 2012 fiscal year.

When they saw it was the 7th inning of the baseball game one took off running for the beer stand while his friend is yelling "BUY THE KEG"!
you know you made it when your beer pong table is made from imported italian hardwood
So at what point while he was throwing up on the girl next to him did you think "yeah, im going to hit that"
i was focused on more important things... like standing, and not spilling my beer
Yeah he kicked my ass... He probably wouldnt have hit me as hard though if I wasnt lauging and yelling " I fucked your sister I fucked your sister" over and over again.
I submitted an essay to my history teacher comparing changes in the middle ages to the song changes by David Bowie. I can't wait to see my grade on that.
Its a three day weekend with Valentines day thrown in... Im obligated to get drunk
So... 5th graders can't whisper for shit, but apparently I have an awesome rack.
Just turned my microbiology homework into a drinking game. The words are getting blurry but I think we're really bonding.
Im watching someone hooking up in the library
I woke up around 30 bottles of beer, with a piece of aluminum foil in my hand, that had "you Win" Wrote in sharpie..

A Renville County man has been sentenced to nearly 4 years in prison for selling methamphetamine. 22-year-old Tanner William Jarvis of Renville was sentenced to 41 months in the State Correctional Facility in St. Cloud for selling meth to a member of the Brown-Lyon-Redwood Drug Task Force on two occasions in the fall of 2012. He pleaded guilty to a charge of 2nd-degree drug sales, and as part of a plea agreement, an additional charge of failure to register as a predatory offender was dismissed. Jarvis was convicted of 5th-degree non-consensual criminal sexual conduct with a person more than 2 years younger than him in 2008 at the age of 17, and has committed numerous other crimes since then, including at least 4 DWIs.

Crescent moon earrings with a dangling teardrop gem. Hook posts.
*By Free People
*By Free People
Measurements:Length: 3"
Rated 2 out of 5Â by 5 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Kmpiche Hmmmm... ok, so first, they are really pretty and really unique. The problems are, they are not hook post, they are straight push back posts. The real issue is that the backing is SUPER DUPER CRAZY thin. They bend without any effort and I am not convinced how sturdy they will be. I was terrified the posts would snap while putting them in. Again, they are really, really pretty. I am concerned with the sturdiness though, not enough to send them back. I figure I could rig a new pair if the posts bent or worse. I would suggest using the rubber type of tube backing that hook earrings come with instead of the metal push backs they came with. 11.21.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by jsh90 So cheap These were so disappointing. They looked so cute on the model, but in fact they're incredibly cheap. Not worth it, so sad. 1.11.2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by alli Disappointment... I purchased these earrings in the store and never thought to check to see if the posts were "flimsy". One bent in half when I was just trying to take the back off. AND if you look at the picture online they have hook posts, not posts like stud earrings. I would return them, but they are so pretty! I just purchased different posts from Hobby Lobby and changed them myself. The stones look a little different too. They look more like labradorite. 1.2.2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by MissusC super cheap construction To start - the gems were different colors from the picture here... but no huge biggie (I can live with that). But the backs to these earrings are also not as pictured. They are posts with backs but the posts must be made out of the cheapest metal possible because I couldn't even push on the backs without the metal bending sideways. Super disappointing.

Kind Of Creepy Stock Photo Of The Week.
Nothing to see here, as they say when they want you to look. Just a mother lovingly kissing her daughter. Very lovingly.
It's the head-tilt that does it, I think.
The photo is titled "Woman female girl" on photoxpress.
That doesn't really help out.

The Nationals have Young, Kearns, Pena, Church, Ryan Langerhans and Nook Logan, but they too need a CF.
Though Washington Nationals President Stan Kasten has spent much of his time with the club explaining why he believes signing expensive free agents should be the last step in a rebuilding process, Kasten himself met with former Atlanta Braves center fielder Andruw Jones recently at Jones's Atlanta home, a source with knowledge of the situation said yesterday.
The contact with Jones, believed to be extremely preliminary, means the Nationals have at least touched base with all three top center fielders on the market. The agents for Torii Hunter and Aaron Rowand confirmed initial contact from Nationals General Manager Jim Bowden last week.

475+ old bridges in Illinois
View Single Post
Fart Letter
Joined: Sep 2003

Oddometer: 5,133
Old Bridges
Follow my track log as you read this--and you'll see just where I am.
I first went to bridge
icg rd2 O-WB
which was a wooden bridge over a railroad track.
I guess I didn't take a picture of it---but after crossing the bridge the road ended very quickly
at a house on a muddy dirt road---it was their only way to their house------the bridge was in bad shape
and if it gets closed--they will have no way of getting to their house.
Next up was
skillet fork O-TT
A really neat old bridge that brought traffic down to one lane.
Nice to find this one still standing.
If and when the Illinois economy regains itself---I'm sure they'll tear it down.
Next up was
icg3 rd C-WB
Which was a wooden bridge over the railroad---there were many of these going over this
same railroad----however after riding a bit thru the mud and tall weeds the bridge was blocked from my side
and after looking on the other side---it looked like you couldn't even get to it from there.
I tried to get to
johnsonville C-PT
It was down a muddy road that was grown up in trees--and I wouldn't have had to hike to it
probably on private property to it---------and I didn't.
Next up on the track log you'll see
endsley creek C-PT
I never saw any kind of a bridge there---there was a tiny creek with a culvert--and
I guess that was it ??????
But my favorite find of the day------
sycamore creek C-PT
I went down a road that dead ended at the bridge and creek----I went passed the last house
and down a very muddy hill-----a big GS would have sunk in the mud------on a dry day it would be fine.
On the other side of the bridge---the road had gone back to nature pretty much and you'd have
to hike in from the East side.
I stayed here awhile----had a snack---a drink---and pondered the bridge.
Closed to all traffic
Built 1909
Pony truss
Length of largest span: 60.0 ft.
Total length: 84.0 ft.
Deck width: 13.5 ft.
Weight limit-------one KLR with a fat old man-----maybe !!!!
Another bridge---the Dorsey bridge--on the Little Wabash was gone---and I had wandered down a dead end road
that was flooded at the end---and into a whole bunch of hunters along the river drinking beer around a campfire.
I was a little worried as they all glared at me.
But after I took my helmet off and they saw I was just some fat old man with a smile-- we had a great time talking.
I finally told them the reason I went down this road was to find an ole bridge.
They all laughed and pointed to the river---the bridge was gone but you could still see the pilings
sticking out of the water-------dang it---------I didn't take a picture.
Before I left they invited me to stay and drink beer and said I could come down here and camp anytime
I had also tried to see this bridge from a levee on the other side of the river---you can see that in my track log--but
it was extremely flooded.
Next up was drainage
ditch3 O-PT
Which was replaced with this horrible concrete structure which just bout made me sad.
Up next
tr454 O-PT
The sun was going down----deer were everywhere---it was getting colder and I had to work
at finding this one and almost gave up.----but I thought to myself---heck this could be the last time
I get to ride all winter-----and I had to backtrack quite a bit cause I couldn't get across a drainage ditch
to find this one---the track log there will confuse you there.
I was dissapointed at what I found---but proud I had "Endeavored To Persevere"
It was replaced---but not long ago.
I don't think that road went thru---but it was way too muddy out there for me to try.
I think this just serves farmers to get across the drainage ditch.
I had so much fun today---ran my electric vest and heated grips all day.
My KLR is so much fun to ride and is so dependable---if it ever fails to start I'd expect the world
to quite turning.
By the way-----the bridge in this picture with my 950 on it----I tried to get to as it was
kind of on my way home--but the road to it was under 4
feet of water.
It is bridge
grayville O-TT
Man I hope it didn't wash away-------it's my favorite.
You can see on the gps track log how close I got to it---I couldn't see it thru the trees--unless it was gone

The customers will be there in Istanbul in twelve days – will you?
MARPA and the Association of European Airlines (AEA) will co-host a PMA meeting in Istanbul on May 25-26. By my count we have 29 customer-personnel attending the conference – these are air carriers and MROs that are interested in PMA solutions. You can see the current "early registration list" online to see who has already committed. And we are hoping to confirm a few more European carriers before the end of this week.
"29 customer representatives in an intimate setting like that? Unlimited access to air carrier and MRO purchasing representatives? I can't think of a better networking opportunity for a PMA company that wants to sell into Europe"
Customer attendees will include (but not be limited to):
Why are they gathering? To learn more about PMA and to network with PMA companies that can provide them with solutions. Why have AEA and MARPA gone to the effort to bring these air carriers together? To help educate the world about PMA and to help our members make sales to air carriers in the region!
If you've been dying for an opportunity to have one-on-one time with air carriers and MROs that are eager to learn more about PMA, then this is the conference for you. If you aren't yet registered for the conference, then you should be.
Looking for more opportunities like this one? Take a look at everything that MARPA is planning for the remainder of the year to help promote YOUR export sales.
PMA manufacturers who are exporting their parts from the U.S. need to ensure that they remain in compliance with the U.S. export regulations. In addition to the BIS and DDTC regulations that apply to aircraft parts, exporters also need to remain in compliance with Treasury Department regulations.
Some of those Treasury Department regulations include lists of people and entities that you ought not to do business with. Every agency has multiple lists that you need to examine, but Treasury is doing something to consolidate its lists and make it easier to review them. This consolidation should make it easier to search to ensure compliance, whether you are searching on line or using a computer program to automatically research your business partners.
The Treasury Department office with jurisdiction over export programs is the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC). OFAC has a list of Specially Designated Nationals (SDNs) as well as other (non-SDN) sanctions lists. OFAC is now offering all of its non-SDN sanctions lists in a consolidated set of data files called the Consolidated Sanctions List. This consolidated list will include the following:
OFAC announced that it plans to discontinue some of these lists as separate lists, so they will only be available as part of the consolidated list.
Persons seeking to check whether there are OFAC sanctions that might apply to their transaction should be sure to check their export business partners (by personal name and company name) against the Specially Designated Nationals List and the Consolidated Sanctions List.
One can also use the Sanctions List Search which consolidates both lists into a single searchable database. This tool is useful because it can automatically search for names that are close (bot not exact matches) and can be set to find matches with different levels of confidence (which will then be reviewed by a human to assess whether they actually match).
Exporters should also check the details of their transaction (including destination country) against the Sanctions Programs and Country Information page, which list sanctions programs based on country and on certain other criteria.
Over the past few months, I have encountered a number of PMA exporters, and European PMA importers, who have asked for clear guidance on how to distinguish a "critical" PMA parts from a "non-critical" PMA part.
This is an important distinction because under the Bilateral Airworthiness Safety Agreement (BASA) that was signed between the United States and the European Union, there are three types of PMA parts that are accepted in the European Union (for installation on products certified or validated by EASA) without further showing. Those three "acceptable" situations, as described in the BASA Technical Implementation Procedures (TIP) are:
(1) The PMA part is not a "critical component"; or
(2) The PMA part conforms to design data obtained under a licensing agreement from the TC or STC holder according to 14 CFR §21.303; or
(3) The PMA holder is the holder of an EASA STC which incorporates the PMA part.
Thus, non-critical PMA parts are directly acceptable (and they should have text on their export 8130-3 tag that states "This PMA part is not a critical component"). So there is a significant advantage to having a clear understanding of when a PMA part is critical and when it is not critical.
This can be a little confusing if you don't know where to look. The FAA has used the term "criticality" to define different categories of parts for approval purposes, and to set differnt levels of FAA involvement in the approval process. The distinct use of the term means that we need to look in the right place for the definition of "critical" that applies to our export/import transactions.
For purposes of US exports of PMA parts that are imported into the European Union, the controlling guidance is found in the BASA's Technical Implementation Procedures for Airworthiness And Environmental Certification (BASA TIP). The definition of critical component for purposes of that document is found in Section 1.6(i) of the BASA TIP:
"Critical Component" means a part identified as critical by the design approval holder during the product type validation process, or otherwise by the exporting authority. Typically, such components include parts for which a replacement time, inspection interval, or related procedure is specified in the Airworthiness Limitations section or certification maintenance requirements of the manufacturer's maintenance manual or Instructions for Continued Airworthiness.
Don't fall for the temptation draw a semantic difference between a "critical component" and a "critical part." The PMA acceptance procedures found in section 2.8.2(a)(1) of the BASA TIP explicitly cross reference the definition in section 1.6(i).
In light of this definition found in the BASA TIP, the question of whether a PMA part is "critical" will be based on the decision of the FAA (the exporting authority) about whether it was critical at the time of approval.
The regulatory guidance for critical parts is found in the marking requirements discussion in section 45.15(c) of the FAA's regulations. That section makes it clear that an article is "critical" if it has a hard time specified in the Airworthiness Limitations section of the manual (instructions for continued airworthiness), like a life limit, then it is a critical part (or critical component).
Under normal circumstances, there are two methods for specifying such a limit on a PMA part. The first is during the FAA approval process (usually as an airworthiness limitation published in the instructions for continuous airworthiness), when the airworthiness limitation section associated with the part would be approved. The second is by an FAA airworthiness directive issued after initial approval in response to an identified safety issue.
Thus the best source for identifying whether a PMA article is "critical" is the PMA manufacturer, who should be able to tell customers whether there were any such hard times associated with the article as part of the approval process (or review of the PMA manufacturer's instructions for continuous airworthiness). If the FAA did not establish that the part was critical at the time of approval, and if they did not subsequently issue an airworthiness limit (such as through an airworthiness directive), then the part is not critical.
The U.S. Commerce Department will hold a webinar on November 29 to discuss the effect of European Evironmental Regulations on U.S. Aerospace companies.
The European Union has a regulation called the REACH regulation. REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation & restriction of CHemicals.
REACH imposes certain obligations on companies that manufacture certain chemicals in Europe, and on companies that import certain chemicals into Europe. Under REACH, the continued marketing of substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs) requires an authorization. Businesses active in the aerospace marketplace use a number of substances that are being considered for SVHC classification, and unauthorized import into Europe of such substances could violate REACH.
For more information, see the notice on the Commerce Department website.
At the MARPA Conference, Kevin Cox of LarsenAllen mentioned IC-DISCs as a way to minimize federal taxes on profits from exports. After his presentation, I asked if his organization could provide us with more information, because this seemed like a useful structure for MARPA members performing significant exports. In response, his colleague Steve Roark wrote us the following article describing the IC-DISC and the way that a US exporter can use an IC-DISC to reduce its tax obligation. Contact information for LarsenAllen is at the bottom of the article.
Manufacturers and distributors work hard to provide products and services competitive in the global economy. Now more than ever, generating foreign sales is a necessary component to growth. Competition for export sales is burdened by many factors including foreign competition, tariffs, fees, foreign taxes and so forth. Wouldn't it be great if companies could get a break from this burden? The rallying cry by many companies is that Congress needs to act now to allow U.S. manufacturers to be more competitive in the global market. Well, Congress did act – they just acted about 30 years ago. Years ago, congress recognized the growing disparity in global competition and provided a way to help compete on a level footing in the face of these burdensome requirements. The vehicle to do this is through the tax strategy called an IC-DISC.
Organizations that have export sales can significantly reduce their Federal tax by creating an Interest Charge-Domestic International Sales Corporation (IC-DISC). It's a long name, but the concept is quite simple. By creating a separate entity, a domestic organization with international sales can defer and/or reduce their overall tax burden related to the income on these international sales.
The IC-DISC reduces U.S. taxation on exports of property originating in the United States for direct use outside the U.S. There are two types of sales that qualify. The first is for products shipped directly outside of the U.S. The second is for products sold in the U.S. that ultimately are added to a product that is shipped internationally. Many contract manufacturers and distributors are part of a supply chain that serves large OEM's whose products end up outside the U.S. Parts shipped domestically to these OEM's may also qualify for this tax advantaged status, even though on the surface they aren't what you think of as foreign sales.
An IC-DISC can be used in a number of ways. Some of the advantages and benefits provided by an IC-DISC include:
• Permanent tax savings on export sales. Although an IC-DISC is a tax exempt entity, any cash distributed out of an IC-DISC is taxed to the shareholders at the capital gains rate of 15 percent. This results in up to a 20% savings on Federal taxes on the income associated with foreign sales.
• Tax deferral on export sales. An IC-DISC also allows a company to defer up to $10 million dollars of taxable income to the future. This can be a significant benefit if cash flow is tight, or if you are a proponent of deferring the payment of tax to Uncle Sam.
• Means to facilitate succession planning. An IC-DISC offers a number of capabilities for executing a succession plan. An important feature of the IC-DISC is that shareholders can be corporations, retirement accounts, individuals or a combination thereof. This can result in an effective means to distribute cash to beneficiaries in a tax-advantaged manner.
It doesn't take much for a company to benefit from an IC-DISC. Companies with as little as $500,000 of export sales have shown savings from establishing an IC-DISC. In addition, the set-up and recurring maintenance of this strategy is relatively minimal compared to the savings.
IC-DISC's have been around for close to 30 years, yet they are not widely used in small to mid-sized organizations – why is that?
One reason is the misconception that they are too complicated or administratively burdensome. An IC-DISC strategy does require a company to establish a separate entity to report these international sales. The IC-DISC is a "paper" entity created to make the company more competitive. It does not require corporate substance or form, office space, employees, or tangible assets. It simply serves as a conduit for export tax savings. Customers do not need to know about the IC-DISC, and contracts remain as they are today. In addition, the transactions required to be reported in the IC-DISC can be summarized and reported once a year.
Another reason is that in the past this structure didn't provide much benefit. There were other provisions in the tax code that provided deductions for international sales. These provisions expired a number of years ago resulting in the IC-DISC strategy once again becoming more advantageous.
If you think this strategy may be an option for your company, it is important to act quickly. An IC-DISC is only allowed to provide benefit beginning on the date the IC-DISC is formed (benefits are not available retroactively). The sooner a taxpayer creates an IC-DISC entity the greater their benefits will be.
To maximize savings and ensure proper IC-DISC formation and administration, businesses that wish to create an IC-DISC should seek assistance from a qualified tax advisor. While the concept and administration are relatively simple, it is important that the initial set-up is done properly to maximize and protect this tax advantage status.

Today, MARPA filed Comments on the Proposed FAA ICA Policy (Policy Statement, PS-AIR-21.50-01: Inappropriate DAH Restrictions on the Use and Availability of ICA). MARPA's comments supported the policy, and provided both a historical and legal context for the acceptance of the FAA policy.
The FAA policy was written in response to the growing practice of manufacturers licensing their manuals on the condition that the licensee repair station or air carrier/operator pledge to refrain from using competitive products like DER repairs or PMA parts. We have written about this practice in past blog posts.
The FAA retains the power to influence the method of distribution for ICAs, because the regulatory appendices that describe the minimum standards for such ICAs require the ICA-publisher to have a mechanism for distributing the ICAs and their amendments, and to submit that mechanism to the FAA. This permits the FAA to establish standards for what will be considered acceptable or unacceptable among such distribution mechanisms.
The FAA policy makes it clear that it is not acceptable for manufacturers to license their ICAs using restrictive licenses that preclude competition. For example, an engine manufacturer may not license its ICAs on the condition that the licensee agree not to purchase PMA parts for the engines.
MARPA has encouraged its members to make their ICAs available to the industry without inhibition. MARPA has also decried practices that would preclude access to PMAs as a condition of obtaining ICAs (when ICAs are already required to be made available under the regulations). Thus, MARPA is very supportive of the FAA policy.
MARPA exhorts the entire aviation community to file comments with the FAA supporting the FAA ICA Policy Memo. Comments may be filed by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
After months of warnings, it should have come as no surprise to anyone that yesterday, American Airlines parent company, AMR, filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code.
This is a restructuring, so it is expected that AMR will emerge form the restructuring. Most aircraft parts are sold to airlines on credit, so many MARPA members may have concerns about their receivables owed by AMR.
It is normal during restructuring for post-filing transactions to receive a preference in the payment scheme. So if you sell AMR an aircraft component the day after the bankruptcy, then you are much more likely to get paid 100% of the transaction price than if you had sold the same part the day before the bankruptcy petition was filed. If the restructuring is converted to a liquidation, then liquidity problems could make the preference meaningless.
Existing creditors may receive only a percentage of the amounts owed them or they may receive all of their outstanding receivables from AMR depending on the nature of the debt and the negotiations with the bankruptcy trustee. The bankruptcy trustee has the power to terminate contracts that are not favorable to AMR, and it has the power to make deals with irreplaceable vendors who demand payment of prior receivables in exchange for continued service. If you have a very large receivable outstanding with AMR, or if you have an ongoing relationship with AMR, then you should seriously consider hiring bankruptcy counsel with experience in negotiating post-filing remedies.
Ongoing case information will be posted to the AMR restructuring website.
Supplier and vendor inquiries are being routed through the Trading Partners Response Center (TPRC). You can call that response center at (866) 736-9011 (toll-free from the United States) or (703) 286-2757 (international toll).

The FAA has updated the advisory circular that provides guidance on detecting and reporting suspected unapproved parts (SUPs). This advisory circular is identified as Detecting and Reporting Suspected Unapproved Parts, FAA AC 21-29C CHG 2 (August 17, 2011).
The update provides new references to various sections in Part 21, to coincide with the October 16, 2009 changes in Part 21. It also makes reference to the new commercial parts definition (part of the 2009 rule change), and clarifies that commercial parts are approved parts.
All references to "fabrication inspection systems" are removed from the guidance in this change. The concept of "fabrication inspection systems" was removed from the regulations in favor of unified standard production quality system regulations for all production approval holders. Now, PMA regulations point to 14 C.F.R. 21.137 as the source for standard production quality system requirements for all production approval applicants and holders.
Finally, the guidance is updated to reflect changed addresses and telephone contact numbers.
The newest guidance can be found online here:
At the 2011 AFRA Conference, Stuart Rubin discussed some of the economic factors affecting the current aviation marketplace, and affecting the future of certain aircraft types. For PMA part producers, this information provides valuable insights into the markets for PMAs – illustrating both diminishing markets for certain older aircraft types, as well as increased competition from surplus spares.
Rubin concluded that increases in fuel costs are causing the discontinuation of use of smaller transport category aircraft (like 50 seat jets). He feels that it is just too expensive to operate these smaller aircraft relative to the potential revenue that can be realized from their operation.
Rubin examined a series of cacts about "parked" aircraft (those tha tare "parked" in the desert).
Rubin used these data points to examine some aircraft valuations. He noted that larger aircraft tend to be more successful in holding their value for longer periods, as compared to smaller aircraft.
The FAA's Advisory Circular (AC 00-56A) sets forth steps that are necessary in order for a civil aircraft parts distributor to become accredited. The FAA lists five accreditation organizations that will certify a distributor: Aviation Suppliers Association (ASA); American National Standards Institute (ANSI); General Aviation Parks Suppliers Association (GAPSA); Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE); and Transonic Aviation consultants, Inc. It is important to note that the FAA reminds distributors that being accrediting is entirely voluntary and not mandatory.
AC 00-56A mandates that civil aircraft parts distributors, in order to be accredited, must have a quality system in place. A quality system is defined as "[t]he total network of administrative and technical data and detailed procedures required to maintain the product and parts thereof to specified airworthiness standards." In other words, a parts distributor must have a quality system in place to assure customers that parts documented with the correct information indicating what the part is for as well as administrative procedures to ensure that employees are trained in their respective roles.
The elements of a quality system are set out in section 6(a) of AC 00-56A. The following is a summary of the elements:
A distributor becomes accredited by one of the accreditation organizations certifying that the distributor is in compliance with AC 00-56A and with the accreditation organization's own standards. Therefore, if a distributor meets the accreditation organization's quality system standard—a standard that ensures that the distributor's quality system provides acceptable level of control as mandated by AC 00-56A—they will become accredited. For example, ASA has their own standard known as the ASA-100 standard. In order to be accredited by ASA a distributor must meet their standards. For a copy of the ASA-100 standard please visit: http://www.aviationsuppliers.org/ASA/files/ccLibraryFiles/FILENAME/000000000035/ASA-100%20Rev%203-5.pdf
It is common to see most distributors accredited because of their interest in robust quality assurance. Many customers require that distributors be accredited in the first place before a business transaction takes place. Therefore, it is important to be aware that when dealing with a distributor, they may or may not be accredited which could in turn affect your business.

Been on this dating site for a while now and...
Been on this dating site for a while now and met a few very nice women along the way….But I'll admit, mostly my failure to proceed or continue, which hasn't lead me to the special one I have been looking for. One reason or another I have dropped the ball, looking back, and more than likely missed out on meeting some wonderful women due to my apprehension or predetermined results of the whole encounter/date. I'm sure a few of you can relate to what I am trying to say with that…. But, as I stated in my profile earlier, life is short and can pass you by faster than you realize. So I am going to attempt to be better at pursuing my life balancing partner this year by using this website to actually "meeting" whom I am communicating with provided we both feel it is the right moment and the initial attraction is there…. That being said, I would like to change a few items on my profile a little this year too…. I like to spend my free time working out at the gym and working on the never-ending chore of fixing up around the house. I think it's an 80% to 20% split and that's why I don't work out at home because I tried to combine the two together and that does not work very well… I like to go to different restaurants around town and try them out. Finding Fresh fish, or as close as we can get out here, works as well. I also like to try unusual places and dishes to mix things up a bit. I like to go to movies, all types given a good plot. Getting outside I like to "hike" meaning I like to take walks up Sabino, Catalina State park, etc. Nothing too crazy like a 15 mile hike. What fun would that be?? I like to visit the beaches for a weekend or week. San Diego, mostly, and perhaps my old grounds such as Santa Cruz in Northern Cal. Long trip however, so that may not happen too often.Nice to see it again however…Love the salt air and the waves…Walking the mall can be interesting with the right person, well just about everything is interesting with the "right" person.

New dog. Learning alot from him more than he is learning from me. So far...
Middle of the Road
Since I like to hike, Pima canyon, Sabino,etc. I like to watch live Blues and rock bands. I have a lot of camping gear that seems to be gathering dust lately. Interested? A trip to the coast, San Diego. Love the beach. Seems to calm the soul.
Let's get together and see what happens...
Sleeping in on a Sunday morning, If I have a reason to stay in bed on Sunday morning... Watch a "good" movie. Read the paper, drink coffee on my porch and watch the sunrise. Gardening, house repairs, sitting in my hot tub. Oh, and I can cook. Can U

OWN Orders Michael Sam Docuseries
OWN: OPRAH WINFREY NETWORK announced today a new multi-part documentary series following the life of Michael Sam, who made history when he became the first openly gay football player drafted into the NFL by the St. Louis Rams. OWN partners with Emmy-winning producer Craig Piligian's Pilgrim Studios and Emmy-nominated filmmaker Amy Rice ("Lindsay," "By The People: The Election of Barack Obama") to produce "The Untitled Michael Sam Project" (working title) which spotlights the former University of Missouri football player and his historic journey as he prepares to enter the biggest professional sports league in America.
This special documentary series will feature a deeply personal, up-close look at the remarkable man at the center of this groundbreaking moment in professional sports, as the All-American defensive end and SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Year enters the competitive world of professional football. Cameras will follow Sam as he works to earn his spot on the St. Louis Rams all while under the intense scrutiny of being the first openly gay player in the NFL.
"We are honored that Michael is trusting us with his private journey in this moment that has not only made history but will shape it forever," said Oprah Winfrey. "I am proud of the focus on authentic storytelling in our new documentary series format. The next real-life story we follow in 'The Untitled Michael Sam Project' promises to spark valuable, important discussion on life in America today. Acceptance and illumination start here."
"Like every player out there working to make a team right now, my focus is on playing football to the very best of my ability," said Sam. "I am determined. And if seeing my story helps somebody else accept who they are and to go for their dreams too, that's great. I am thankful to Oprah for her support and excited to work together."
"The Untitled Michael Sam Project" is produced with OWN by Pilgrim Studios and is executive produced by Craig Piligian, Nicholas Caprio and Johnny Gould. Amy Rice, Ralph Wikke and Mitch Rosa are co-executive producers. Cameron Weiss, Joe Barkett and Howard Bragman are producers.

Couldn't run my household without it!
By Dodie

Comments about 3M Packaging Tape Refill:
I use this tape for everything! It is so dependable and ALWAYS comes off the roll easily without sticking to everything before it reaches the job for which it was intended. I make sure I always have it on hand, and have even given it to 11 girl friends as the little Christmas gift that each of our 12 Bunko Buddies gives to each other.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

heavy duty shipping tape
By imee h
from Undisclosed
i really like the little one sample you sent, but i need mostly the heavy duty packaging tapes because i travel and i got tons of boxes to ship out.. Thank You .
Best Packaging Tape
from Milford PA
I mail quite a few packages, and even more this time of year, I have tried cheaper packing tapes, but Scotch is the best, I gave up trying the others and am loyal to Scotch. The tape sticks the best and you don't lose the end of the tape because it's a heavier weight and over-all better quality. It's also great for school projects and doing crafts. I would never buy another brand again they are a waste of money and cause more frustration using them....Scotch is 'stuck' with me now!
EXCELLENT Heavy Duty Shipping Packaging tape
By Phyllis D
from Salisbury, NC
This little dispensor and the heavy duty shipping tape is one of the eaziest I have ever used. It fits well in the hand, is not large and bulky. The tape is super, super strong. Holds so well for shipping heavy items. Does not split; does not come loose. Try one you will love it.
Heavy Duty gets the job done
from Berkeley, CA
I am the book review editor for a professional journal. Every three months, I send 20 or 30 books out to reviewers in the United States and Canada. Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Tape really helps me get all of the books packed and ready to ship quickly. It is strong and adheres well to the shipping envelopes. It also helps to reinforce the address labels, assuring that the packages reach their destinations safely.
Can't Do Without It

Tape It Up, And Ship It Out!
By Cher P
from Chicago, IL
Scotch Heavy Duty Packaging Tape with Dispenser is outstanding! The tape itself is so sturdy that it gives me complete confidence when sending packages in the mail, by courier, or even for storage purposes. I honestly feel better knowing I am using Scotch Heavy Duty Shipping Tape. The dispenser is, well, dispensable! *LOL* It makes it so convenient you do not have to worry about scissors. Now, if you are like me and sometimes finish your taping work a the post office, this is the most convenient way to use the tape. I love this product!

Check these out, too...
Hey, girls! My name's Leora, and I'm a senior in high school. I've been interning here at GL for about three weeks now and it's pretty much every girl's dream job. Not only do I have the opportunity to do what I love—writing—but I also get to give advice to girls searching for solutions to real-life problems and to help them develop the confidence they need to be who they are! How awesome is that?
OK…I'm going to be completely honest with you—I'm a little bit of a bookworm. I completely confess to willingly signing up for AP Chem this year and two summers ago I really enjoyed interning at a science research laboratory where I wore a lab coat, splash goggles, and gloves—basically the entire chemist ensemble. Simply put, I worked with chemicals and test tubes and conducted a ton of experiments. You know, gel electrophoresis, growing bacteria, developing neurons…that kind of stuff. I'm not gonna lie. I had fun trying to cure diseases and study proteins!
So you can understand why I was in for a little change when I came to GL: No lab coat, no goggles, and no chemicals. Just me, my laptop, my secret obsession with pop culture and my enthusiasm for writing. I've always been fascinated with the publishing business, and through my internship with GL, I've been lucky enough to learn about the inner workings of a successful, national magazine. I've come to learn how truly important it is for everyone to work together as a team. And how crucial it is for creativity and originality to be expressed and embraced.
As an intern, I get to write articles for the GL website. One of my favorite things to do is write about relevant health and entertainment topics. I love covering stories from red carpet events like the Oscars to the health risks of sugary sports drinks. I love keeping you girls up to date on anything and everything you've gotta know to stay informed.
So like I said, this internship is an incredible opportunity and has taught me so much about the magazine world. But what I've learned most of all from this experience is that if you really want something and have, well, a crazy dream, if you turn your aspirations into positive action, anything is possible. Like Miley Cyrus sings in her hit-single (you guessed it) "The Climb: "It's not about how fast I get there, it's not about what's waiting on the other side. It's the climb." So whatever your hopes are—from curing cance to becoming the editor of a successful newspaper or magazine—never give up on your dreams. Perseverance and determination are everything. And like Miley says, it really is all about the climb.

The Global FlyFisher - The Largest and Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tying
Trip Reports
Grüß Österreich! Hello Austria!
Meeting Austria... and Andy
Part 1 - Where I wet my first fly in the idyllic country and stay in the even more idyllic Gasthof Bräurup in Mittersil
Pictures of idyllic scenes from cheerful operas pass by my inner eye as I pass by the buildings on the mountainsides. Wooden houses, windows framed by colorful flowers, cows on hillsides so green it hurts the eyes. All set in a beautiful landscape and backed by mountains, which can make a flatlander like myself dizzy.
My first meeting with Austria is a confirmation of my impression from films and pictures. It is beautiful on the fringe of being cute - even though the cuteness seems genuine enough. I was on my way to a week of Austrian fishing - a week, which would give me a taste for more. I want to return to this beautiful country. Before leaving home and while planning the trip I researched a bit. One name popped up several times: Gasthof Bräurup. Expensive but very nice said a Dutch friend. Excellent service and great fishing water said an American.
And true enough: my three days in Bräurup in the Mittersill area could easily have been extended to the whole week. The hotel is extremely cozy, food is fine and plenty and often you will find fly tying fishers in the bar at night. If you prefer to keep drinking and fly tying separated - for no obvious reason - you can buy your flies in the hotel's own flyshop the next morning.
Andy - a local guide, who followed me around for a couple of days - told me that Bräurup not only has the largest privately owned fishing area in Austria, but actually one of the largest in Europe. When you approach the hotel over the mountains, you get a beautiful view over the valley. Most of the waters here belong to Bräurup. Several lakes, miles of small and large rivers and countless smaller streams - from slowly running, flat streams to frothy, white mountain streams.
Most of these waters are only open to the guests of the hotel, and many of the only require a short drive to be reached. A few will take you further up into the mountains and will have you hiking for a few hours. The quality of most is superb. The fish are brown trout, rainbows, brook trout, and grayling. The brook trout and grayling are dominant in many of the colder high altitude lakes and streams.
I was there in August, which in Austria means warmth and sun. This of course also means melt off from the mountains, and many of the larger rivers were white and silty, and not fishable. This was particularly the case in the central river the Salzach, which could not be fished at all during my stay. But the major part of the waters was in an excellent condition; crystal clear with visible, working fish.
The fish were not large on the average. A one pound fish is fine and four pounds requires some time and effort. Much larger fish are caught on a regular basis - trophies as Andy referred them.
Fishing in the fast, frothy mountain rivers is quite special. The stretches vary with fast sections, necks and falls followed by deep and slow pools. This yields a varied fishing with a lot of entertainment. The fish will happily take everything from deeply fished jigs and gold beaded nymphs to small dry flies such as small caddis patterns and ants. A common nymphing method is short upstream casts where you follow the line with the rod tip to allow the fly to sink deep.
In many rivers the fish would rise from surprising depths to a CDC&Elk and in the lakes the fast brook trout would willingly take small ants and Rackelhane's, which were vibrated on the surface or slowly retrieved on the smooth surface.
In the very calm and clear watered Elistabeth See I had to use a secret weapon - a small, naturalistic damsel nymph in marabou that was slowly drawn over the bottom - before the beautiful and clearly visible brook trout showed any interest. But then things gained speed! The fish, which averaged a pound, were a pure pleasure on my 7½' Partridge splitcane.
