What the Photographer had to say
I took this shot after waiting on Newcastles Nobbies Beach (where the now-famous Pasha Bulka beached in the storm) for another glorious sunrise. I was not disappointed - with yet another awesome sunrise in Newcastle. I am blessed to live in a place like Newcastle - where there are clean and beautiful beaches and plenty of wonderful and dynamic landscape to take photos of, any time of the day!

Tak-MAK, Squak-MAK and Flak-MAK
For a more universal and easy to find caliber choice I have a 24" .223 sporter barrel that was a gift from S. Pence. I made two recoil lug discs/spacers on the lathe. They were .187" and .189" thick, 1.30" OD and 1.065" ID. With the .187" lug the bolt wouldn't close so I fitted the .189" lug in place and it worked just fine. I recrowned the barrel and shot a few firelapping rounds down the barrel to smooth everything out and, yes detractors, increase the jam length about 15 thousandths. On the factory load side, the Black Hills 40 grain Ballistic Tip load left the barrel at 3470 fps, with a group of .5 MOA. With handloads, I had good luck with 24.5 grains of AA2495 in Nosler brass, BR4 primers and 55 grain Berger bullets. With a COAL of 2.317", I got 2960 fps and 3 shot groups averaging .6 MOA. The 52 grain Sierra Matchkings, also pushed by AA2495, are averaging .4 MOA. I feed the .223s using the AI 10 round plastic magazine. It has plenty of room fore and aft inside the magazine to load your cartridges out to an overall length of 2.55" (compared to normal AR-15 magazine length of 2.26").
Extra Bolt (top), wood barrel vise spacers and Surgeon action wrench tool for changing barrels (middle left), Borka adjustable torque wrench(center), nylon single round loading block (middle right), AI 5 round .308 magazine (bottom left), Alpha Industries 10 round .308 magazine (bottom middle) and AI 10 round .223 magazine (bottom right)
I purchased a used take-off 7-08 barrel for $45. It was blued, 22 inches long and .66" OD at the muzzle. I recrowned it on the lathe and broke the crown's edge with a .45 FMJ bullet smeared with 220 and then 320 grit lapping compound. I threaded it to accept a Ross muzzle brake threaded 5/8-24. The brake is Stainless Steel that I sand blasted with a Campbell Hausfeld sand blaster using play sand strained thru a screen. I wanted the hole to be .030"over bullet diameter so Ross, the brake maker, drilled it out to .314". The brake has 3 chambers with 3 top ports and 3 ports on each side. It cost $40 shipped and was money well spent. I made a spacer .080" thick to time the brake top ports to be top dead center.
I found that 7-08 cartridges won't feed through a 700 that has feed lips intended to feed .204 cartridges. I had read that this would happen but figured I would find out firsthand before I moved to the next step in the project - converting the rifle from a drop floorplate magazine to the detachable AICS magazines. In the mean time, I just single loaded my handloads. I forgot to mention that I have a second bolt to handle the 7-08 and .308 cartridges. Speaking of bolts, you may want to paint barrels and the appropriate bolt that works with them the same color. That is, the 7-08 and .308 barrel could be painted OD green to go with a .462 bolt that is also painted OD. The .204 and .223 barrels could be painted black to go with a .378 bolt that is painted black. If the colors match, you're good to go. That might prevent you from bringing your rifle to the bench with a .223 bolt and a 7-08 barrel. Ask me how I know this.
The jam length for this barrel is around 2.78" for the 7mm Sierra Matchkings in 150 grain and 168 grain weights. That's a pleasant surprise since that COAL is shorter than magazine length. Factory R7M081 ammo loaded with 140 grain PSP bullets averaged 2750 fps and yielded 2 MOA groups. I pulled the bullets and weighed the powder. I loaded some 'Mexican Match' ammo by dropping 2 grains of the powder (from 45 down to 43 grains) and seating 150 Matchkings at 2.766". I was rewarded with a quarter inch group with a muzzle velocity of 2640 fps. With R-P brass, 210M primers, 38 grains of Varget and the 168 Matchkings set at 2.77 ", I got 2454 fps and 3 shot groups just over half an inch. This is understandably a soft recoiling load since 41.5 grains is the max load in the Sierra loading manual. The same powder charge with the 150 grain Matchkings yielded 2480 fps and similar groups. With a compressed charge of 47.5 grains of H4350 in resized FC 308 cases (172 grains in weight) under the 150 grain Matchkings at 2.766", I got 2700 fps and .6 MOA 3 shot groups.
I was using a .185" recoil lug but found that the fired cases were SAAMI minimum minus .001". Consequently, I fitted a .186" lug that put me right at SAAMI minimum, based on the .308 Precision Mic. Checking the bolt lug engagement, I found that one side was carrying most of the load. I lapped the lugs using 220, 320 and 600 grit lapping compound and then made up for the lost metal by installing a thicker .188" recoil lug. This work brought me up to SAAMI minimum plus .001". Checking jam lengths at this point using the F.A. COAL gage resulted in the 140 grain Gamekings measuring 2.791", the 150 Matchkings measuring 2.781", and the 168 Matchkings measuring 2.782". I decided that I needed to try the Hornady 162 Amax bullets but wondered if they were too long to stabilize. The reps at Hornady gave me the length of the bullet as 1.425". Plugging that into the Miller twist rule equation for a 1:9.25 twist barrel and adjusting it for 2600 fps and 20 degrees F, I got a stability factor of s=1.37. That's pretty close to 1.4, so I figured it would work just fine. I bought a box, shot some groups at 25 to 30 degrees and got nice round holes at 100 yards. Varget gave me good groups of .3-.4 MOA at a COAL of 2.954". That's too long for the mag, but they load fine with the single round loading block.
I loaded up some 150 grain Swift Sciroccos over 43.5 grains of H414 and shot some bare 10% ballistic gelatin at 100 yards. The muzzle velocities (not impact velocities) were 2663 and 2664 fps and the bullets penetrated 22.5"and 22", weighed 143 and 141 grains, and expanded to .62" and .61". The 140 grain Accubonds at 2741 and 2745 fps, penetrated 23.5" and 24.5", weighed 110 and 105 grains and expanded to .53" and .54". The 154 grain Interbonds at 2691 and 2664 fps, penetrated 21.5" and 24.5", weighed 144 and 146 grains and expanded to .66" and .69".
The following shots were fired at 30 yards, rather than 100 yards. The 140 grain Trophy Bonded Bearclaw, fired at 2725 fps, went 20" in bare gel, weighed 137 grains and expanded to .65". The Winchester 140 grain Failsafe at 2733 fps weighed 121 grains and expanded to .39". The Speer 145 grain Nitrex Grand Slam at 2621 fps went 24", weighed 116 grains and expanded to .60". These were factory loads.
Tube gun
As I mentioned in the 7-08 section, the feed lip cuts in the action were set up to feed .204s and wouldn't feed the 7-08s. To continue the project I needed to solve this little problem. By switching from the drop floorplate magazine system to the AICS detachable magazine I could use the AICS metal magazines to feed the .308 and all its offspring (.243, .260, 7-08, etc.) and the AICS plastic .223 magazines to feed the .223 and its cousins (.204, .300 Whisper/Blackout, etc). The plastic magazine has the same width and fore/aft measurement as the metal magazine so both types of magazine fit in the same magazine well. My next step was to consider which bottom metal to go with. I had fitted Surgeon bottom metal to a couple of stocks and really like their system. I will use the Surgeon Bottom Metal and a McMillan stock for my youngest son's 700. CDI also makes bottom metal that is affordable but with which I have no experience. Another option, and the one I went with for this rifle, was to glue the action into a Tube Gun Kit. I found an excellent condition MAK XC (across the course) repeater tube gun kit, spare mag and nylon single round loading block for $495 at 6mmBR.com.
MAK (Mike, Archie, Kevin) tube gun kits have been covered in at least two other PS articles written by Robert Whitley (February and October 2004). The benefits of the MAK include ease of set-up as a switch barrel rifle, free floating barrels, no bedding to worry about, weatherproof (aluminum) construction, increased action stiffness and multiple stock options (any AR-15 stock will work). The kit is made up of an aft cap (to which the stock attaches), receiver sleeve (holds the action), sight rail (flat or 20 MOA slope), handguard and trigger guard. Holding it all together are thirteen screws, five of which hold the sight rail. To tighten these screws, especially the action screws, you can use a torque wrench, such as one of the fine Seekonk products. Another option would be to use a Borka adjustable torque wrench. The torque settings change depending on which hex hole you chose - the one shown in the photo allows settings of 36, 43, 50, 57, 65 and 72 inch-lbs. For its features, it's handy, light and priced right.

Marvin Gaye's 1964 Passport Found Inside an Album Bought for 50 Cents
Monday's (Feb. 3) episode of PBS' "Antiques Roadshow" finds a man in Detroit who brought in a 1964 passport belonging to Marvin Gaye.
"It came to me by pure accident, actually," says the guest seeking an appraisal for the item. "For years, I worked for the Motown Museum here in Detroit, started when I was 18 years old. I was a Motown collector– anything Motown, I loved. And after a Motown musician had passed, we had gone to their house to pick up some items that the family wanted to donate to the museum, and they had said, 'Is there anything else you wanted? Because otherwise, it's going to be in the estate sale this weekend.'"
There were a number of albums and records the family offered the man, but he turned them down because the museum already had so many. However, the Motown collector in him couldn't resist a good bargain.
"So I went back to the estate sale and bought some albums and 45s," the man said. "When I got home, I was going through them and out of an album fell this passport. And so it literally fell into my hands."
The Motown collector said he bought the album for 50 cents. After examining the document, "Antiques Roadshow" appraiser Laura Woolley said, "I wouldn't put less than $20,000 on the passport if you were to insure it."
Needless to say, the man was stunned.

This is my second posting, but I've been reading and learning from your discussions for several years now.
I picked up a small swarm August 19th. It was not much larger than a couple of softballs, hanging about seven feet off the ground in a small tree. On the sidewalk beneath it was a small cluster of bees. There were also a fair number of dead bees scattered around on the street next to the sidewalk. I brushed the ground cluster into a small cup and as I feared, the queen was there and alive. I put her in my catch hive and then got the cluster from the tree, too. The next morning I transferred them into a nuc. The queen was dead on the bottom of the catch hive. I put her in a jar of alcohol.
I kept this nuc separated from my other three hives since I was concerned by the number of dead bees. I kept a casual eye on it, expecting it to die out over a few weeks. It didn't die. It seemed to be doing quite well. I looked in yesterday and there were capped and uncapped brood on three frames!
So...what's happening? Two queens in the swarm? or maybe more likely, two small swarms in very close proximity?
Has anyone else had this experience?

Water everywhere, but will it reach dams?
Page Tools
A wet Sydney weekend has failed to make any major impact on water catchment areas, but the rest of the week's forecast looks promising for NSW farmers.
Rainfall as high as 90 millimetres was recorded in Avalon on Sydney's northern beaches and 49 millimetres in Belrose, but only four millimetres was recorded where it was most needed at Sydney's main water supply, Warragamba Dam.
There was slightly better news at Woronora Dam, which recorded almost 23 millimetres for the weekend period.
Sydney Catchment Authority spokesperson Debbie Low said most of the rain would have been absorbed by the dry soil, although it was possible the run-off could continue to flow into the dams over coming days.
But much heavier falls were needed to have any significant impact on levels, she said.
"It does take about five days for the rain to reach the dam; we might see a bit more coming over the next few days but at the moment we are getting 250 megalitres a day into the dam," she said.
"Back in 1998, we had 250,000 megalitres a day and the dam went from half-full to full in a period of about two weeks.
"We would need about 40 millimetres a day for seven days to bring the dams up to 70 per cent and to even begin considering easing water restrictions."
The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast rain to continue until Friday, with heavy falls possible in catchment areas on Wednesday and Thursday.
A bureau spokeswoman said the rain experienced in Sydney had fallen over most of the state in the past couple of days.
Batemans Bay recorded 101 millimetres over the weekend, while the state's central tablelands had 20 millimetres to 30 millimetres.
Most of NSW could also expect moderate to heavy rain falls for the rest of the week, she said.

DCCC 'Drive to 25' Campaign: Holding Republicans Accountable for Trying to Cut Seniors' Benefits
The DCCC will announce this morning the latest phase of its "Drive to 25" paid advertising and grassroots campaign. Republican Budget Chairman Paul Ryan said that he intends to target Social Security and Medicare in House Republicans' forthcoming budget. The DCCC's advertising campaign will hold 10 House Republicans accountable for supporting Ryan's radical scheme to privatize Social Security and dismantle Medicare as we know it.
"Everyone agrees we need to cut spending, but House Republicans are making the wrong choices by forcing seniors to shoulder the burden while not asking Big Oil companies making record profits to sacrifice even the smallest amount," said Jennifer Crider of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "The DCCC will go district-by-district to stop House Republicans' plans to cut seniors' hard earned benefits in the middle of a recession just so Big Oil companies can keep their taxpayer subsidies."
Additionally, the DCCC is launching a new action center, www.StopBenefitCuts.com, to highlight that Social Security belongs to the people who worked their whole life to pay into the system, but House Republicans want to use Social Security and Medicare as a piggy bank for the government. At www.stopbenefitcuts.com people can send letters to their Members of Congress and print out a pledge for their Member to sign.
Automated phone calls, live phone calls, print ads, and emails will begin in the following districts:
- AZ-01 (Paul Gosar)
- FL-10 (Bill Young)
- FL-22 (Allen West)
- MI-01 (Dan Benishek)
- NV-03 (Joe Heck)
- PA-11 (Lou Barletta)
- TX-27 (Blake Farenthold)
- WI-01 (Paul Ryan)
- WI-07 (Sean Duffy)
- WV-01 (David McKinley)
Text of the automated phone call running against Representative Paul Gosar follows:
Hi, this is _______ calling on behalf of the DCCC. Did you know that Representative Paul Gosar is part of a majority of the Republicans in Washington pushing to cut seniors' benefits in Social Security and Medicare? If we don't act now, 106,289 seniors here in Arizona could have their benefits cut in the middle of a recession.
Everyone knows that Social Security belongs to the people who worked their whole life to pay into the system. But Representative Paul Gosar wants to use Social Security and Medicare as a piggy bank for the government.
We can't turn Social Security over to Wall Street banks or make Medicare into a voucher system.
Press 1 now to be connected with Representative Paul Gosar and tell him to cut taxpayer subsidies to Big Oil, not seniors Social Security and Medicare benefits.

Home Depot? (x-post)
I heard a rumor that the reason Home Depot is cheaper than most other hardware stores is because they sell a mixture of good stuff and factory seconds. Any of you heard this? I've seen some evidence of this as well. There tools and hardware, no matter what brand seem to be a little crapier than the ones i have gotten from, say Ace or a locally owned hardware store.
(crossed posted on the contractors forums)
I believe that this is urban legend. The reason that large companies can sell at reduced prices is due to volume buying, in house manufacturing and proprietory products.
I have not heard that but ,it would stand to reason though.
If you think about it look at say sears,they sell mostly american made,good quality stuff,well ,except their tape measures they have really gone downhill:DBut anyway,most of their stuff is well built quality merchandise that will and does stand the test of time and you will pay for that up front.
While the other places will throw in a mix of good ,better ,best ther are some places that will only give you pretty much one choice and it is usually good ,well made tools or hardware or whatever and you will pay a premium for that product whatever that may be.My $.02 worth :cool:
Funny you should mention tape measures....
Oh GAWD....
A few weeks ago I purchased 3 tape measures from Orchard Supply Hardware which I understand is now owned by sears. I purchased a Komelon 12 foot self lock for my son, a small Stanley (simple one) 12 foot for me and a Olympia(?? unsure the brand) 25 footer for myself.
I was TRYING to replace a VERY worn Craftsman 20 footer that has a very unique side button clamp that I have had (and loved) for many many years.
I loved the markings on the Olympia... what a beautiful blade even had the 8ths 16ths etc labeled with numbers making things really easy for those of us who'd rather be using metric... I mean this was the easiest to read, clearest and prettiest blade on a tape measure I have ever seen.
Of course the story doesnt end with happiness and light... If you get the LEAST bit of grit into the Olympia tape it simple refuses to retract at all. After about the 4th time I cleaned it in as many weeks, I gave up and left it extended one last time wrapped the tape measure body in 20 feet of its own beautfully marked tape and took it back. Got the 25 foor KomelonUSA and will see how that goes.
The little 12 foot stanley was not much better surprisingly... I opened it up and they seem to have gone downhill too. Cheap pot metal body, plastic internals... I'll probably take it back too.

What I'd REALLY like is to find a blade like the one described above for the old craftsman I still wear on my hip (the one I wanted to replace) I looked briefly at OSH and they had no blades, Sears did not either.....
Sorry to hijack the thread :-)
It's CPV
Lets say Porter-Cable has a framing saw, you see it in your local tool shop for...say $189
It's quiet, light, strong, and has a great blade
You shop around a bit and see it in HD for less
It's only $159...what a bargain!
Hold on there partner, here's what happened
HD brass saw the P/C saw and said great, we want to carry that, but we want to charge less than $189
P/C says we can't lower our price to you, it's a great price
Now comes the CPV
Customer Perceived Value
Big Box says well, our average customer won't see the value (extra $) of that magnesium guide...can you make it steel?
Our avg. cust won't perceive the value of those fancy motor bushings, or that fancy blade
Make your saw for us to these new specs and we'll carry your saw
And we'll sell it for $159
If P/C says no, then Big Box won't carry a P/C framing saw
Voila, Home Despot has a de-spec'd P/C saw that looks like the one at the local tool shop
I think that Home Depot does sell seconds. I've been told that their Purdy paint brushes are thinner than those purchase elsewhere. I've also been told the same thing about their ceramic tile. And though I have no proof, I think that their appliances are a little off.
Seconds at Home Depot?
This doesn't really belong in the Tool forum but it has got to do with whether Home Depot sells factory seconds or not. My suspicions have been aroused by the fact that I recently laid 800 sq. ft. of laminate flooring on the main floor with a product that was labeled as being manufactured exclusively for Home Depot and thus, by buying it in bulk, could sell it at an unbeatable price. While I was laying this stuff it looked fine but now I can see more seams than I care to. It seems to get worse by the day and I have thought that now it could be I am just looking for more. I have done 4 bedrooms upstairs with a different brand of laminate without this problem so it wasn't my first attempt at laying the stuff. I don't know if the material was seconds or whether there are so many manufacturers jumping on the band wagon with quality control and manufacturing accuracy which leaves something to be desired. I must admit, it has made me skeptical.
The de-spec'ing of tools I mentioned above extends to hardware, sundries, paint, all materials
Volume sounds like the simple answer as to why HD is cheaper
But it's not really all that simple
Any 2, 3, or even 10 percent discount that HD would get is swallowed up by the problems associated with huge volumes and low-payed employees
Warehouse and floor damage, returns, lost, stolen...it just goes on...
They simply cannot keep damage/loss down like a store or small chain can
The product, materials, service, must be cheaper from the manufacturer
It must be de-spec'd
If that means cheesing out on QC then that's the way to do it
If that means putting 6 oz. of BIN in the 10 oz. spray can so it looks like the same one in your local paint store, than that's the way to do it
It says 6 oz on it, there's no lying involved...technically
Manufactured exclusively for HD is not a good thing
Home Depot? ( X-Post )
Home Depot like most other large lumber retail stores own nothing in the store. They are what is called a logisic company. From the factory to them elimanating warehouse. They stock your invetory and shelve it,run they sales adds and bag it for you for a peice of the pie.
The Purdy paint brushes HD sells are thinner than ones purchased at paint supply stores. The dishwashers are not as quiet as there counterparts sold elsewhere. The GE fridge has a second rate icemaker. I hate HD. But I go there every day.
Also, I agree with Slickshift that these big box stores may contract with manufactures for a special model saw (or anything else for that matter) without some of the quality extras, but they then couldn't sell that as the same model #, could they? I have to think that if I buy a PC 557 biscuit joiner at a PC dealer or buy a 557 at HD, it's the same stuff.
I had a recent experience with HD. I bought a 1/2" Black and Decker drill, burnt it out in a day. They took it back no questions asked and I bought a Milwaukee 1/2" for about double the price (well worth it). Was the Black and Decker a factory restored or just weak? I'm not sure, but they have a good return policy.
I smell a lot of BS here.

Niche market
A niche market is the subset of a larger market. Niche markets can refer to many various ways in which a business specializes to serve the needs or wants of a special group of customers or clients. For example, a business can serve a certain age-group, or it can serve customers who desire products unique designed for those who are left-handed. In other words, there are endless ways in which a company can serve a special niche.

Former Bank of England governor Mervyn King has warned European banks are facing a "last chance" to convince financial markets they are solvent as a rescue plan was launched for Portugal's Banco Espirito Santo.
The European Central Bank is due to publish the results of its latest "stress test" of 128 European lenders in late October and will assess the actions financial institutions have taken to bolster their capital buffers.
"What will be disappointing is if the review comes up with very reassuring answers about the banking system that markets clearly don't believe," said Mervyn, Lord King speaking in Australia.
"The previous stress tests for banks in Europe didn't really convince markets of their seriousness — and this is really a last chance for Europe to put in place a credible set of tests on the financial worthiness of all the banks in Europe."
He added: "Financial markets will be looking very carefully in the autumn at whether the statements made about the capital positions of different banks are credible and a lot hangs on this."
The warning came as Portugal's central bank announced plans for a good bank/bad bank split for Espirito Santo, the country's largest listed lender.
Portugal's bailout fund, provided by the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, will lend €4.9 billion (£3.9 billion) to the good bank, which will be called Novo Banco. Depositors will be protected but shareholders will be wiped out.
"The plan carries no risk to public finances or taxpayers," said Carlos Costa, Portugal's central bank governor at a news conference in Lisbon last night. "There was an urgent need to adopt a solution to guarantee the protection of deposits and assure the stability of the banking system" he added.
The ECB President, Mario Draghi, said earlier this year that a number of other European banks are likely to fail this autumn's stress test and will be required to raise more capital.Reuse content

Dangan Ronpa
this wiki
This article is about the first game of the Dangan Ronpa series.
Dangan Ronpa: Academy of Hope and High School Students of Despair is a murder-mystery visual novel focusing on a group of fifteen high school students as they are baited into killing one another by a sadistic teddybear by the name of Monobear/Monokuma.
The game is set at a special, elite high school which only accepts students of the highest caliber in various fields, but it allows in one average student each year, chosen by raffle. The events of the game are shown through the eyes of Makoto Naegi, one such average student.
The gameplay is similar to the Ace Attorney series but with an emphasis on faster gameplay. Each chapter of gameplay takes place in three distinct stages: exposition, investigation, and school trial. In the exposition stage, the main plot progresses and the player can build relationships by spending time with the other characters, in a system similar to Social Links in the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series. This section typically ends with the discovery of a crime scene, which leads to the investigation stage. Investigation parallels that found in the Ace Attorney series, as its basic purpose is to gather points of evidence to use in the school trial. The school trial stage includes several different minigames, all of which require high speed action and critical thinking to complete. series but with an emphasis on faster gameplay.
==Synopsis ==
The game uses a special graphics technique, termed "2.5D Motion Graphics", used to blend 2D character and item art within a 3D explorable environment. The game used "pop art", a bright and colorful style, as a way to contrast the dark subject matter of murder. Scenario writer Kazutaka Kodaka stated he desired to "...shake user's heart by showing a devastating accident in not devastating ways. But, by some measure, it might be more shocking than showing a devastating scene.
Release and ReceptionEdit
Prior to release, a free demo version of the game was made available. A bonus key chain with a figure of the character "Mono Kuma" (Mono Bear) on it was given to people pre-ordering the original PlayStation Portable version. The game sold 25,564 copies in Japan in its first week, making it the top selling PlayStation Portable game of the week, and eighth across all platforms. After three months of sales, the game had sold over 85,000 copies, a number Spike CEO would label a success.
The game was ported to iOS and Android in August 2012, with new features such as retina display support, touch screen controls, and a new image gallery. The game could be purchased either separately by chapter, or as a whole like the PlayStation Portable release.

State recognizes fourth-graders for making Christmas ornamentsLt. Governor's office names winners of state Christmas Ornament Competition
Junaluska Elementary School fourth graders decided to get crafty last month when they submitted homemade Christmas ornaments to the office of Lt. Gov. Daniel J. Forest as part of the State of North Carolina 2013 Christmas Ornament Competition.
For the competition, Forest was looking for students to make North Carolina themed Christmas ornaments to display at the historic Hawkins-Hartness House in Raleigh.
On Friday, the students were recognized by Rebekah Bradley, an assistant to the chief of staff office of the Lieutenant Governor, who visited the school and awarded the top four fourth-graders for their creative designs.
"We were absolutely thrilled you guys made ornaments for the Christmas tree," Bradley told the fourth-graders, who gathered in the media center. "Our tree was the most beautiful out of all the trees in Raleigh. Everyone who came in the office said it was beautiful and so creative. So thank you — it has been such a joy to demonstrate the work you did for us."
Bradley awarded Emma Burris with first place, and gave her an NC state flag. Leah Jones came in second, followed by Luke Wilson with third and in fourth place was Zoe Mina.
Bradley also presented a NC state flag to the staff of Junaluska Elementary School.
Julie Buchanan, the Junaluska Elementary art teacher, was instrumental in helping all three fourth-grade classes create their themed ornaments. The school currently has about 60 fourth-grade students.

The Canisius College men's lacrosse team couldn't overcome an early deficit at Robert Morris, falling to the Colonials, 15-11, on Tuesday night. The Griffs are now 2-4 on the season, while Robert Morris improves to 6-3.
"This certainly was a real battle between the lines - up and down and back and forth," said Canisius head coach Randy Mearns. "Non-stop athleticism was on display today. I'm very proud of the effort of our players but we couldn't pick up a ground ball in the third quarter. That really hurt our chances of winning today. We also didn't bury our shots when we needed to and they were a much more advantageous team on the night."
Senior Jimmy Haney led the Griffs with five points and four goals in the defeat. Classmate Travis Gibbons chipped in four points and three goals, while seniors Brandon Bortignon, Simon Giourmetakis and Brendan O'Hagan plus freshman Cody Gould each added one tally.
Senior Sean Callahan recorded 10 saves in 40 minutes of action for Canisius in net, his fourth double-digit save performance of the season.
Freshman Brandon Bull turned in a strong performance at the faceoff X for Canisius, winning 7-of-10 restarts on the night in addition to a team-best six ground balls.
The schools traded goals early in the contest and with the game tied at two, Haney netted his second goal of the night to give Canisius a 3-2 advantage with 7:15 remaining in the first.
However, Robert Morris quickly answered with a goal just 10 seconds later, which ignited a 5-0 run. The Colonials capped the streak with 12:59 remaining in the second frame for a 7-3 lead. Canisius closed the gap to two by intermission with three of the final four goals of the half, including Haney's third tally of the game with just one tick remaining in the second for the 8-6 score after 30 minutes of play.
The Canisius offense, however, was unable to carry the momentum into the second half with the team netting only two man-up goals in the first 27 minutes following the intermission as the Colonials built a 14-8 advantage. The Griffs netted three of the final four goals of the game but the comeback bid ran out of time as the Colonials held on for the 15-11 victory.
Robert Morris finished the game with a 44-37 advantage in shots plus a 46-32 edge in ground balls. Jake Hayes led the Colonials with four goals and six points in the winning effort, while Dillon Pope recorded nine saves in net.
Canisius is off until next Tuesday, playing at Binghamton in non-conference action. Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m.
Game Notes: Robert Morris has won the last three games against the Griffs after Canisius took the first five games of the series ... The Colonials have averaged 15.3 goals per game in the three wins after averaging just 8.8 goals in the five Canisius victories to start the series ... Canisius has recorded multiple man-up goals in three-straight games ... The Griffs have converted 47.1 percent of their extra-man chances (8-17) in their last three contests after posting a 13.3 rate (2-15) in their first three games ... Gibbons has netted four hat tricks in six games this season ... The senior had zero in 30 games during his first three seasons at Canisius.

Where I stayed
Happy New Year from the COLD USA!
This is turning out to be an odd holiday for us.The weather in Pasadena for the Rose Bowl Parade was great. The day after the parade, when we went to view the floats, it was 76 ' F, so SUMMER. We liked Pasadena, and could have spent a week there. We just took in the parade and floats, doing very little else, other than walk the area. Maybe we'll make it back another time when the hotel rates aren't $220/night!
We did get to have dinner with our Ohio friends who were there to see the Buckeyes win the football game! They met us at a great seafood place just up the street from our Pasadena Saga Hotel. We hadn't seen them in a couple of years, so it was nice to have a little visit.
from our Florida friend, Naomi, that she would have to go to Mexico City when we were planning to visit her in Fort Lauderdale, because her sister was ill. David had just booked the flight to Florida a week before we left home, so we had to go there.
The train trip to San Antonio was very nice.
Our closet roomette was comfortable and the food delicious.The scenery was no heck, but the ride was relaxing. Unfortunately, when we checked into our historic Crockett Hotel (as in Davie Crockett), we discovered the city drains the river along the famous Riverwalk between Jan. 3-12 for cleaning and maintainance! Fortunately, we like to walk new neighbourhoods, so just did the tourist route anyway, discovering historic areas, little arty shops, and beautiful architecture along the way. Unfortunately, we must have brought the "Alberta Clipper" with us, as San Antonio experienced its coldest winter in 25 years! Fortunately, we had brought toques, gloves, long silk underwear, and fleece jackets, so were warm enough. It just wasn't pleasant! We spent two days and 12 hours in the amazing San Antonio Museum of Art, toured the Alamo and watched an IMAX film of the Alamo events, rode the cute trolleys around the historic downtown, and enjoyed some good meals
Today, we had an early flight to Florida, where we thought we'd have some warmer weather. Unfortunately, they, too, are experiencing extremely low temperatures! It was raining, windy, cloudy, and cold when we landed, and it hasn't improved all afternoon; the forecast is for -6 ' C tonight, so it's not good! They are worried about orange crops, and the Salvation Army was setting up emergency warming rooms. The weather reporter was warning people about the windchill temperatures. We will go to the art gallery tomorrow (a special showing of Norman Rockwell paintings is featured this month) and hope the temperatures improve.
Hope you are having a good start to 2010.
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
Hi Gail and David - Great commentary - and I SO enjoyed the colourful pictures!
What a bummer, that your weather is not good!
Hope it improves considerably!
safe travelling ! J

Bus2025: RATP's plan for a 100% eco-friendly bus fleet by 2025
Since 2014, RATP has been engaged in a major technological and ecological transformation with the goal of converting the majority of its fleet to electric-powered buses by 2025: that is what Bus2025 is all about.
This ambitious plan was developed out of STIF's determination to eliminate diesel buses from its network in the Ile-de-France region.
By 2025, RATP want to roll out a 100% eco-friendly bus fleet in the Ile-de-France region, including electric and biogas buses, in keeping with targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20% inscribed in the Ile-de-France urban transport plan.
The energy transition and reducing the impact of climate change are top priorities for RATP.
With Bus2025, RATP will thoroughly transform its industrial facilities (bus depots) and fully engage in the energy transition phase for its bus fleet. This transition is already underway with the purchase of the first hybrid buses, a vital step before the deployment of electric buses.
RATP is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption per passenger/km by 20% from the 2004 level by 2020.
The Bus2025 plan will reduce RATP's carbon footprint by 50%.
Bus2025: Key dates
The energy transition will be conducted in 3 phases:
Today: step up the share of hybrid buses in the RATP fleet. Henceforth, all new bids to tender will be for hybrid, electric and natural gas (NGV) buses.
2015-2017: testing and trial runs of all new electric bus technologies and existing recharging systems. Preparation of the programme to adapt bus depots.
2017-2025: launch of bids to tender for the massive deployment of electric and biogas buses.
2015, our first year of experimenting with electric buses
RATP launched a vast trial programme to test electric buses under real operating conditions with passengers for the period 2015-2017. These tests are designed to prepare bids to tender for high volume purchases of electric buses as of 2017, with massive shipments as of 2019.
The first 100% electric bus line by 2016
Starting in 2016, RATP will operate a 100% electric bus line with standard buses under real operating conditions. This will be a European first for a fleet of this size. Line 341 (Charles de Gaulle-Etoile - Porte de Clignancourt) will be equipped with about 20 100% electric standard buses supplied by Bluebus, a subsidiary of the Bolloré group. The bus will only be recharged at night, at the bus depot. With an autonomy of 180 km, the buses will be able to circulate without needing to be recharged during regular service hours. Like the current standard bus, these electric buses will have a capacity of over 90 passengers.
Other bus manufacturers will also participate in the trial phase
In addition to the Bluebus project, as of year-end 2015 RATP wants to begin testing other electric bus technologies and recharging systems on two benchmark bus lines with passengers: line 21 (Gare Saint-Lazare - Stade Charlety Porte de Gentilly) and line 147 (Eglise de Pantin - Sevran-Avenue Ronsard).
RATP has signed agreements to test electric buses with three European manufacturers – Heuliez Bus (France), Irizar (Spain) and Solaris (Poland) – and with two Chinese manufacturers that are in joint ventures with European firms –Yutong, in conjunction with Dietrich Carebus (France), and Ebusco. These buses will begin circulating as of late 2015. RATP will test one vehicle per manufacturer.
In addition to testing rolling stock and battery autonomy, RATP is also preparing
RATP will be able to rely on its experience in the transformation and distribution of electrical power for its RER, metro and tramway networks, and on its relations with RTE and ErDF. The programme will tackle the problems of hooking up with the ErDF network and/or the RATP network, and will build a power architecture for each bus depot to enable them to transform and distribute energy for an average of up to 200 buses per depot.
Goals of the 2015-2017 trial period
Through these tests, RATP will be able to generate feedback on the performance of the powertrain (batteries, engines) and recharging systems, with support from the RATP-EDF partnership signed in 2014.
For RATP, it is also the occasion to measure the repercussions of this new technology on operations (impact on machinists, passengers, local residents, etc.) and maintenance (reliability of rolling stock, changes to industrial and maintenance facilities, and adaptation of the bus depots' power supply).
The hybrid bus, a transition towards the electric bus
While waiting for electric bus manufacturers to meet all of the technical and economic constraints of operating within a dense urban environment, RATP and STIF are investing in hybrid buses.
Today, RATP and STIF have ordered 523 hybrid buses, of which 63 are already in circulation on the RATP network. By mid-2016, all 523 hybrid buses will be in circulation.
Development of a biogas bus line
Adapting industrial facilities
To increase the number of biogas-powered buses, RATP must adapt its bus depots. In agreement with STIF, the first bus depot to be converted to 100% NGV will be the Créteil site, which has accommodated 90 standard NGV buses since 1999. Since 1 June 2015, these 90 buses have all been powered by BioNGV. By 2016, all 140 of the depot's standard buses will be fuelled with BioNGV. By 2017-2018, all of the Créteil depot's some 200 buses, both standard and articulated, will be powered by biogas.
The Bus2025 plan: Key figures
RATP operates 350 bus lines in the Île-de-France region
The RATP bus fleet comprises 4,500 vehicles, 97% of which are diesel buses
60% of its buses comply with Euro 5 standards or higher
RATP, with funding from STIF, will purchase 550 hybrid buses by mid-2016
As of 2016, RATP will equip its first 100% electric bus line
In 2016, all standard buses at the Créteil bus depot will be powered with biogas
17,000 employees (machinists, maintenance staff, and engineers) work in the bus department
1.1 billion passengers were transported by bus in 2014 (+15% in 10 years).
2025 target: a 100% eco-friendly bus fleet comprised of about 80% electric buses and 20% natural gas (NGV) buses
The Bus2025 plan will reduce RATP's carbon footprint by 50%

F1 points leader Sebastian Vettel wins Canadian Grand Prix
MONTREAL (AP) -- Sebastian Vettel won the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday, leading almost the entire way to extend his lead in the Formula One points race.
Starting from the pole position, Vettel finished 14.4 seconds ahead of Fernando Alonso's Ferrari. Lewis Hamilton, the 2012 winner, was third after holding the lead for three of the 70 laps when Vettel made an early pit stop.
After practice and qualifying were slowed by rain, the sun came out Sunday for a warm and dry race on the Ile Notre Dame. That gave Vettel, who skidded in the rain on the final straightaway to give up the lead here two years ago, a clear path to the checkered flag.
"We've had good races before, but it didn't come together to win," Vettel said on the victory podium. "It made up for that today. Great feeling. Great car by the team and we were really able to pull away from the rest of the field."
Vettel, of Red Bull, picked up 25 points in the championship standings to extend what had been a 21-point lead over Lotus' Kimo Raikkonen. Raikkonen finished ninth for two points.
Vettel's biggest difficulty on the 2.71-mile Circuit Gilles Villeneuve came when he brushed the wall in the 11th lap. But he kept extending his lead before pitting in Lap 16 and switching from supersoft to the medium tires that he continued with for the rest of the race.
Hamilton moved into the lead with Vettel in the pits, but the three-time defending Formula One champion went back to the front in the 19th lap and stayed there for the remainder of the race.
He lapped Raikkonen in the 34th lap - halfway through the race. Vettel ran wide on a chicane in Lap 52, but it did not substantially eat into his lead.
By the end, the Red Bull car had lapped every other in the field except for the top five finishers.
Alonso, who is third in the standings, passed Hamilton, who is fourth, at the start-finish line in the 62th lap to take third place. Vettel's teammate, Mark Webber, was fourth and Monaco winner Nico Rosberg was fifth.
It was the third victory of the year for Vettel, but his first career win in Montreal. On a rain-soaked course two years ago, Vettel skidded slightly on the final backstretch and Jenson Button passed him for the win.
The dry track was a break for Vettel but not for rookie Valtteri Bottas, who made the second row for the first time in his career. He said after qualifying that his car would not be able to compete on a dry track - and he was right, quickly falling out of the top 10 before stabilizing his position and eventually finishing 14th.
With his ninth-place finish Raikkonen tied Michael Schumacher's record of recording a point in 24 consecutive finishes.

Poorer people are more likely to have been exposed to these infections, so their bogus studies are designed to give the privileged a pretext for war of cultural genocide against the poor. This pseudo-science was originally invented in Nazi Germany, and the American Cancer Society and its axis enthusiastically embraced it and have used it for its intended purpose ever since. And teach them that the anti-smokers destroyed democracy by censoring the media and preventing informed smokers' advocates from refuting their lies, and that's how they got their smoking bans passed.

San Diego Symphony on Saturday night — the best concert ever
Yes. I'm going to go with that.
Garrett Harris 10:27 p.m., May 22
(Page 2 of 2)
On its website, Burnham boasts these accomplishments by its scientists: (1) the laboratory technique that forms the basis for the PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test for prostate cancer, (2) the enabling technology for the cancer drug Epogen, and (3) one of the first vitamin-based drugs for cancer, Targretin.
Nancy J. Beddingfield, director of institute relations for Burnham, says that Epogen, controlled by Thousand Oaks biotech Amgen, provides no royalty stream to Burnham.
Targretin throws off a modest royalty. It is controlled by a San Diego biotech, Ligand Pharmaceuticals, which is truly a Burnham spin-off. Ligand has two Targretin products that serve small niche markets. The company has lost money for 11 straight years, and last year was its worst. Its cumulative deficit is $973.3 million. It has restated its earnings for 2002, 2003, and most of 2004 and just announced it will pay $12.2 million to settle related lawsuits. The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating the earnings problems. Ligand admits it has faulty internal financial controls. Last week, David Robinson, chief executive since 1991, resigned under pressure from unhappy institutional shareholders.
Another Burnham spin-off was Telios Pharmaceuticals, which went into bankruptcy in the middle 1990s and was later purchased. A third spin-off is NeuroMolecular Pharmaceuticals, which is privately held and based in Emeryville.
In filching our clusters, Florida will suffer expensive disappointments.

An innovation district, an energy corridor, and a logistics hub are three major elements of the Lower Schuylkill Master plan, a long-term vision released by the City this month that accounts for 68 percent of the city's underutilized and vacant industrial land.
Penn's 23-acre South Bank campus is located on the former DuPont site between 34th St. & Grays Ferry Ave., and the Grays Ferry Crescent section of the Schuylkill River Trail park just south of the Schuylkill River where the river makes a turn before the Grays Ferry Bridge and continues south towards Bartram's Garden and the airport. This campus represents a long-term redevelopment vision that also serves an immediate need.

Procrastination Time..
Recently i developed the symptom of not knowing where to pursue my career and in life. I always had the intention to try my luck in Australia but i know i am not done with Malaysia just yet, until at least until next year. I assured that where i am now, is the best place that Malaysia can offer me until it is time to say goodbye. Apparently, no was the easy answer.
Plenty of options are available at my finger tip and for once, i can actually go into a totally new field and move to my next phase of life. Since i am not exactly very happy with where i am right now, isnt this the best opportunity for once to try something that i might be brilliantly good at? But the most important question is am i ready to go on to the next phase knowing another phase of life is just around the corner?
So i thought i might explore why i am not happy around where i am. As an associate consultant, i expect to be treated like one, that is i will do the work and learn my technical stuff. Identifying and selling the firm's services, should not be my problem but the managers. Unfortunately the problem with every single firm, when the order to get more billing comes down from the Big Boss to the small bosses (managers) and the small bosses cant perform, we small fries are like the targets for shooting. In my opinion, i feel that is bull shit. Not only that i feel my team doesnt have the urge to push forward. Every year, promises and targets are made, every year i see them where they are, at the same place doing the same thing. I was told at the start of the year, the team will expand double the size by end of the year, i see no change and its already August coming into September. You think i am stupid ar? 3 months and you want to appoint 7 staff, you got to be kidding me please.
It seems then, there should not be a problem why i should leave in a split second. I wish i could.
My paper is on the 4 September and hopefully after that i can really decide whether i want to stay or leave for good. Where should i go i ponder? Should i apply for the investment banking job that my friend has always been talking about? Or a cool food writer job? Or back in the firm with a different scope i.e. Advisory? Audit? I wonder i wonder..
It will be sad though, i have made friends with my big boss and some of my seniors in my team, colleagues from every other department and even the admin people as well..Imagine trying to make friends with another new group very well knowing you might quit 9 months-12 months from the day you join..kind of crap isnt?
Dilemma eh? Why is life so complicated i wonder..For now..my study should be the most important..and i m feeling kind of hyped up for it..lets study !!

I just got my degree, thinking of doing my masters but decided to put it on hold for the next few years. This time round, I'm studying for my own personal pleasure rather than doing it for paper chase. It's a whole lot of difference experience.
Take your time to decide which path you want to go. That said, every new job is the same after a while.

- Cirnelle said...
Well, you can't be 'enjoying' a job while thinking you don't know if you're 'enjoying' it now... gosh! I can really talk a load of crap at night. But at 1.5 years, it is a bit too rash a decision to make, since you'd probably still feel unchallenged by being an AC, you'd much rather do SAC or C jobs and get those grey matter a'stewing.
The thing is, if I'm not mistaken, only a C is entitled to be seconded over where you are... and in tax, those are few and far between. One person's been sent to London recently. That would mean it's at least another 2 years before the next one. Just nice for you, no?
P.S. Investment banking ain't what its cracked up to be.

Recently I removed a bunch of bees from a house an got almost a 5 gallon bucket of honey from the hive. I have strained it once through wire screen and 5 times through nylon panty hose. I set the sealed bucket on my deck ( 80 degree days here) where it has been for almost a week. I checked it today and it is still cloudy and has a very fine grain feel to it like it may have crystals.
How can I clear up the honey?
How do I get rid of the grainy texture?
How do you pour honey without getting air into it?
Please advise. I hope I don't have a bucket of bad honey.

Gas Pains
Tom grew up in Milwaukee, bartended in Wauwatosa in the '70s and moved here in 1984.
Commentary, observations and musings about the outdoors, life in general and maybe Tosa politics and personalities will be the order of the day. He savors a lively debate as much as terrific cooking.
Hitting Our Stride
Making the grade. Back in the saddle. In the groove. On track.
There are plenty of ways to describe the feeling that things are working out. And I've been looking for an excuse to give that new hip a work-out and see if Girlfriend could still run with the other dogs and flush and retrieve birds. I just finished my seventh week on my new and improved leg and Girlfriend is nearly fully recovered from her battle with an auto-immune disorder that knocked her down for the count beginning in November of last year.
It was time to see if both of us had any stamina for some serious play.
Sure, I know that a few of you have suggested that I simply go to the mall and shuffle-around in circles with the other mall walkers. The truth of the matter is that malls make me edgy and nervous. The only thing more annoying than a mall is Wisconsin Dells in July or Fish Creek in October. On top of that you can't even take your Labrador retriever to the mall for a walk.
You're probably thinking - What else?
Get out of bed at O-Dark-Thirty and chase pheasants.
This last Saturday, Girlfriend and I invited ourselves to join Lawyer, Lawyer's Bro and Salesman to hunt birds in four degree cold and a stiff north wind.
How cold was it?
I'm glad you asked that question. Cold enough to bring tears to your eyes and freeze your fingers. Take my advice - never stick your tongue on a frozen shotgun barrel. No matter how much someone wants to bet.
Get this - Girlfriend never skipped a beat.
And I walked (if the pedometer is to be believed) 2.1 miles in snow and on uneven terrain, up hill. In minus 15 degree windchill. I take that back. I made that up about the up hill part. It was flat. Like a mall. Only with fresh air and slippery spots. When it was finally time to seek shelter from the cold and wind we had ten birds in the game bag between the four of us.
Lest you think it couldn't get any better than that there was a country watering hole in a small town across the road from the Catholic church where we sought solace and warmth.
Not the church - the tavern.
About the tavern-keeper, Salesman cleaned a couple of the birds out back and the exceedingly accommodating barkeep fried-up a batch of pheasant fingers for us.

I started out using plasticell foundation. I have found that the bees have not drawn out cells as well as I would have wanted. For others who use plastic foundation: What do you do to get the bees to take the foundation?
I started out using plasticell foundation. I have found that the bees have not drawn out cells as well as I would have wanted. For others who use plastic foundation: What do you do to get the bees to take the foundation?
I started using them last year and have found that they really don't draw it out that well unless there is a flow on. The second choice would be to feed lots of sugar water but that doesn't work as well, in my opinion. Next year I will be using bees wax foundation in the brood boxes and plastic for supers. I have used both in the brood box and have found that with all thing equal, they draw out and begin useing the bees wax first. Just my experiences.
i made up some nucs in june and replaced the frames from the colonies i took the brood from with some wax coated plastic foundation. the bees drew the comb out out very quickly, however this was during a flow and i've never started out a hive with it. judging from that limited experience with it, i would not hesitate to use any in the future, and will be using some this spring in some mediums to start some shook swarms out on. the foundation is likely to be 20+ years old.
I dont like it at all, just swaped out 100 frames of plasticell , got about 100 more to do, out of 100 sheets only about 10% drawn out right. the worst foundation I ever tried using, im just glad I didn't have to pay a lot for it, it came with some frames I bought cheap, now I see why it was cheap.....
I'm having the same problems as posted on previous threads and posts above. As this was my first year I don't have a whole lot of equipment and next year I'm going to all mediums. I may be going to all beeswax unless there is some secret to make this stuff work. As it stands I am unimpressed with the plasticel.
Don't really know. All I use is plasticell (wax coated from Dadant). I just put it on the hive in Jan or Feb and when I check in June they are full of honey. Also use it in the brood chambers.
For those frustrated by problems when using plain plastic or beeswax coated plastic foundations - under the same non-flow or dearth conditions the bees will chew holes in plain beeswax foundation and worse; while they don't seem to be able to damage the plastic foundation any more than the wax moth larvae do.

I have had pretty good luck with it. I am slowly buying more as I go to replace the starter strip method. I use it both for brood and honey
Your talking about the solid plastic frames right ? I have had ok luck with them they are drawn out much better in a flow.... Has anyone tried the predrawn out plastic frames ? Might be called cell rite, cant remember.
I believe the bees just have to cap it. Not sure how it would work, in suppers, and if you could get the brood casings out of a deep frame of it.
Seems like over time your cells might get to small to be useful. Anyone had any luck ?
I use platicel foundation in wood frames. It always seems the bees stop filling out the two outer frames

Don't read if too long for you.....
December 5, 2012 Owning a vehicle means problems, from bad gaskets to ailing alternators. One thing we shouldnt have to worry about is the vehicle glass spontaneously exploding. Yet that is exactly what many drivers have faced over the years with their sunroofs.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has received enough complaints on the matter to open an investigation into exploding sunroofs in the 2012 Hyundai Veloster. Hyundai drivers report glass raining down on them after their sunroofs suddenly shattered while cruising down the highway at 70 mph, as well as reports of sunroofs that exploded while the vehicles were parked and unattended.
The thought of glass exploding above your head might seem absurd, but it can occur to any make and model of vehicle.
One owner of a 2005 Volvo S40 contacted CarComplaints.com immediately after her sunroof exploded while she was driving down a North Carolina highway.
It sounded like a gunshot right above my head and I had no idea where it was coming from, said Alexandra, of North Carolina. I could hear air coming into the car even though all my windows were up.
Alexandra was understandably upset when she described what took place.
It looked like a meteor bounced through my car upwards and out the sunroof glass. The remaining sunroof glass was pointed toward the sky, so I knew nothing hit the glass from the outside, Alexandra said.
What she described is exactly what many drivers have reported. The sunroof has clearly blown upward, not toward the inside of the vehicle as you would see if an object struck the glass from the outside.
I lucked out on my side of the car because the passenger/backside got the brunt of it, Alexandra said. I used to nanny in college and drive the babies around. My first thought was, Imagine if I had those kids in here when this happened!"
While the government investigates Hyundai over the problem and Volvo must answer to Alexandra about her S40, CarComplaints.com has heard about the problem for years from drivers of the Honda Accord, Audi Q5, Mazda CX-9, Chrysler 300M, Honda CR-V, and many other vehicles.
The story is always the same. Whether the incident occurred when the vehicle was parked or traveling at highway speeds, the remaining glass structure is always pointed toward the sky. Owners must then face the task of convincing the dealership and manufacturer that the sunroof wasnt hit from the outside, a battle that can lead to expensive repairs and denial of insurance or warranty coverage.
Additionally, Alexandra was fighting with the dealer to fix the scratched paint caused by flying glass.
What could cause a sunroof to explode or shatter?
CarComplaints.com contacted four of the top university mechanical engineering professors and asked that very question. All agreed the problem could be found in the glass itself, not necessarily how it was installed in the vehicle. In fact, all types of glass products can explode, including ovenware, patio tables, even glass balconies. Its occurred for years and the problem has grown in vehicles because more cars come standard with a sunroof/moonroof, something that was once considered a luxury option.
A sunroof is made with tempered glass that is designed to break into small pieces for safety. Any imperfection in the glass--whether caused by a bad batch of glass or a scratch from a rock--can cause the glass to shatter when under pressure. The pressure might come from the vehicle itself because every vehicle is more airtight than ever.
Because a glass sunroof is under a lot of compression, air pressure or temperature changes can all contribute to pressure on the glass. All it takes is one microscopic imperfection and time to allow the problem to reach a level where the glass explodes.
Previous unrelated investigations found nickel sulfide crystals in shattered glass. These crystals can grow and if their growth is in the correct direction, the glass will shatter from the pressure.
Hyundai Veloster owners are waiting for an answer to why their sunroofs exploded. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration would not discuss the case because the investigation is currently open.
