Ukraine's hopes of signing a free-tradepact and other agreements with the European Union at a summit in November have caused concern in Moscow, which aims to derail Ukraine's pro-Europe policy and keep the country focused on the former Soviet bloc. It has already warned that Kiev would forfeit its special partner status with Russia if it goes ahead with signing theEUaccords.
Ukraine's economy is heavily dependent on exports of steel, chemicals and grain, more than 60 percent of which go to the former Soviet market, with Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan - all members of the Customs Union - the biggest markets.
"I don't want there to be any illusions ... Practically, for our Ukrainian partners, entry into the Customs Union will be closed," Medvedev told his deputy premiers during a weekly meeting.
"This is a key political decision that the leadership of Ukraine is making," he said.
Russia, which would like control of Ukraine's gas pipeline network, has used the promise of much cheaper gas to try to coax Kiev into the Customs Union, which was set up in 2010 and offers tariff-freetradebetween members. Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich dismissed the promise as "humiliating".
Last month, Russia sounded a warning shot to Ukraine, conducting extra customs checks on Ukrainian imports over several days. Russian President Vladimir Putin has also spoken of possible "protective" measures by Moscow and its Customs Union allies.
More than just losing geopolitical influence in the former Soviet region, Moscow is also concerned that Ukraine'sEUagreement could lead to the re-export ofEUgoods into Russia, mostly tariff-free, where they could threaten sales of Russian-made products.
Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt, speaking during a meeting ofEUforeign ministers last week, criticised what he called Russia's "economic warfare" against former Soviet countries that aim for closertradeties with the European Union.
Moldova is also seeking freetradeagreements with theEUat a summit ofEUleaders and their counterparts from some former Soviet states in November in Vilnius.
A Russian envoy last week warned Moldova that its pro-Europe drive could cause it to lose its control over the breakaway territory of Transdniestria and lead to a more costly energy relationship with Russia, its main supplier of gas.
The 28-memberEUhas set democratic progress in Ukraine as a condition of any landmark agreements to be signed with Kiev in November and the issue of jailed ex-Ukraine prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko, whom Western governments want to be freed, could still jeopardise any agreements.
The Customs Union gained fresh impetus last week when Armenia announced its intention to join. (Reuters)

I don't watch a lick of TV. But...I have and will watch any move ever produced (i.e. Cool As Ice) and any HBO series as well.
Speaking of, has anyone seen This Is The End? Wow. I think my already compromised melon was further damaged by two hours of hypoxia during my hyperventilative state. That theater was pumped with nitrous or that's the best comedy in history. I'm talking 107 Minute Abs. I cried more than when your wives/girlfriends/slampigs saw The Notebook while on their periods. Wow. Gotta go see it again daily.

All jokes aside, is the OP talking about water getting trapped at the ankle or calf? The slack of a suit is going to typically be at a thinner part of the body (wrist, ankle, collarbone, small of back) and that's where water should build up. Either that or he's not pulling the arms and legs of the suit to their full extent of form-fitting.
I haven't been in the game long, but XCEL is all I wear (brahs...I even got the street apparel. What?!) and between the different thicknesses I have 5 of their suits and three 2mm toppers (and two pairs of baggies). I love their gear, but it's long on the appendages. Then again, even when it's long, that doesn't really matter when the suit is as tight as it should be. I think the OP needs to go down a size. Are we talking about a 6/5, 5/4, 4/3, or 3/2? I'm XLS in a 6/5 all day for XCEL. In a 3/2, I'm an LS at most, perhaps an M. All I know is that if the suit is the right fit for you, even longer arms or sleeves won't be an issue. My 4/3 is like that because it's used (previous owner was taller) and is a bit long but snug as heck otherwise.
All bodies don't have the same composition either. However, I'm going with the least common denominator (slimmest major body part) and getting a suit to fit that and working through the fact that other parts are a bit on the tighter side. If its something not so special like an SLX then trim the sleeves or legs. If its drylock and has quality seams on the cuff, you're senseless to pay top dollar for seams you're gonna cut off. As for making pinholes in any part of the suit, you best be talking about a warmer water suit. If not, I reckon you've never felt the sting of 36-53 degree water on bare skin for sustained time periods. Anyone who had seam leaks at the crotch in northern winter can back me up with full force.
What thickness and suit style are we talking about here? Are you sized properly for the suit in question based on the XCEL sizing guide? If so, and your calves (not ankles) are ballooning with water, you either really do need to hit the calf raise machine til the next winter solstice or go get a custom made suit as they are out there. For those saying that there should be any more than a very thin layer of water between skin and suit, you either don't surf in cold water or don't know the point of a wetty.
Then again...I'm the guy in New England who went hoodless in a 4/3 as of March 1 and into baggies and a 2mm topper as soon as the water hit 54 and air 75. Don't listen to me, as I'm either a medical miracle in thermoregulation or just some jerk looking for attention by some feat of strength (idiocy) by surfing cold water wearing insufficient protection.

Are you postulating that the tufts of leg hair are creating excessive space between the suit and skin? If so, then your legs must look like Austin Powers' chest, in which case no wetty is needed due to all-natural insulation.

I have a 3/2 xcel with the same issues. Water comes in and stays in my legs. A lot of people have this problem. If I take a few falls I go to the beach to drain the water. Sometimes it drains out when I stand up on the next wave. Shortboard seems to give me more issue than longboard.

I've never had this problem with any of my ripcurl suits, maybe try a different brand, they aren't all created equally, meaning their sizing may be slightly different from brand to brand

The International Pacific Halibut Commission recently set quotas for this summer's fisheries.
A steady stream of action is expected in the spring and summer coastal halibut fisheries.
"We ended up with a catch quota that I would say is pretty much status quo to last year," said Heather Reed, a state Fish and Wildlife halibut resource manager. "Fishing on the coast last year was good."
The International Pacific Halibut Commission last week adopted a quota of 999,000 pounds — up from 989,000 last year — for commercial, sport and tribal fisheries in Area 2A, which covers Washington, Oregon and California.
Last year, the sport fishery in Washington was allowed a catch of 214,110 pounds. In the past decade, the sport catch fishery has remained stable with a low of 393,000 pounds in 2010 and a high of 511,000 in 2006.

The halibut fishery off Neah Bay and La Push is tentatively planned to open May 9, and fishing will be allowed Thursdays and Saturdays only through May 18. Catches will then be assessed to see if additional openings are possible.
Westport, on the south-central coast, opens May 5, and fishing will be allowed Sundays and Tuesdays only through May 21. Catches there will also be assessed for additional openings. There will also be a nearshore halibut fishery off Westport open daily beginning May 5 until the quota is achieved.
Ilwaco opens May 3, and fishing will be allowed Fridays to Sundays. This area will remain open during spring and summer unless 80 percent of the quota is caught before mid-July. That is a change from past years when it would close between mid-July and early August.
State Fish and Wildlife will have a meeting for stakeholders and the public on Feb. 8 at 9:30 a.m. at the Natural Resources Building, Room 175A in Olympia to present tentative catch options for the coast and look at fisheries for inner Puget Sound.
Last year, Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca east of Sekiu had a catch quota of 57,393 pounds.
The eastern Strait and Puget Sound was open May 3 to June 2 with fishing allowed Thursdays to Saturdays, except for Memorial Day when it was open Thursday to Monday. The western Strait off Sekiu was open May 24 to June 23 with fishing allowed Thursdays to Saturdays, except for Memorial Day.
The limit in all areas will remain one halibut daily with no minimum size limit.
Final approval of halibut seasons will be announced in early March.
Columbia spring chinook seasons finalized
Sport anglers on the Lower Columbia River will see a big dip in the number of hatchery spring chinook available to catch this season.
State Fish and Wildlife managers adopted regulations based on an upriver spring chinook forecast of 141,400, which is about 25 percent below the 10-year average. Last year, 203,000 adult fish returned to areas above Bonneville Dam.
While the forecast is smaller in than the past few years, it is still twice as large as those that occurred in the 1990s.
Anglers this spring will be allowed to catch up to 5,000 hatchery upriver chinook below Bonneville from March 1 through April 5. Fishing is currently open below the I-5 Bridge. The fishery could be extended if catch levels remain under the guideline.
An additional 670 adult hatchery fish will go to fisheries between Bonneville Dam and the Washington/Oregon state line located 17 miles upriver from McNary Dam.
Last year, anglers fishing below the dam caught 10,160 upriver spring chinook, along with 3,175 returning to tributaries of the Lower Columbia River.
The length of the Lower Columbia spring chinook fishing season is dictated by a lot of factors.
"The last several years, the fish have arrived late, and normally we start to see a steady stream at Bonneville Dam by mid-to-late February," said Joe Hymer, a state Fish and Wildlife biologist. "In 2011, they didn't show up until early March."
Other components include water temperature and flows, stock or age of fish, and even the presence of sea lions below the dam.
A new rule implemented on the Columbia River mainstem requires anglers to now use barbless hooks.
For specific dates and rules on the entire Columbia River spring chinook fishery, go to wdfw.wa.gov.
Spring chinook fishing is currently open daily for boat and bank anglers from Buoy 10 to I-5 Bridge. The sport fishery extends upstream to Beacon Rock March 1 through April 5. Sport fishing will be closed March 26 and April 2 for possible commercial fisheries.
Beginning March 1, bank anglers may fish from Beacon Rock up to the fishing boundary below Bonneville Dam.
Fishing above Bonneville Dam will be open daily to boat and bank anglers March 16 through May 5 between the Tower Island power lines six miles below The Dalles Dam and the Washington/Oregon state line located 17 miles upriver from McNary Dam. Bank anglers can fish from Bonneville Dam upriver to the Tower Island power lines during that period.
Beginning March 1, anglers below Bonneville Dam may keep one hatchery adipose-fin clipped adult spring chinook daily. Anglers above Bonneville may keep two hatchery-marked adult spring chinook daily beginning March 16.
Fisheries officials will manage the season with a 30 percent buffer until the forecast can be updated in late April or early May.

text: Greetings! This is my first post here, so a bit of an introduction: I was a fairly active photographer back in the early 1980's. I did news and editorial assignments for my college paper, shot a wedding now and then, took lots of shots "for myself", etc. I have a limited amount of darkroom experience from the college paper days. I stopped shooting for about ten years, then in the late 1990's I bought my first digital camera. Around 2005 or so I bought a nice Nikon DSLR, and have been a pretty serious digital shooter ever since. Mainly, I shoot product photos for my company's web site, as well as family shots. A few months ago on a lark I bought a Mamiya RB67 setup. Back in the 80's, that was the camera I wanted but couldn't dream of affording. Now that they are practically giving them away, I had to have it. Having run about ten rolls through it, I am totally re-hooked on film. Its been a fantastic re-awakening into the world of deliberate, manual photography. I'm very fortunate to have a local shop that still does processing. I can get a roll of 120 processed with lo-res scans (each one is about 2MB or so) for under $10. With my experience in digital, its easy enough to load the scans into Photoshop and tweak them to perfection. So that got me thinking that the next step on this is to get my own scanner to bump up the quality of my scans. Looking around, I figure a budget of something like $1k would get me something worth working with. But then that got me thinking that what I really should do is start making my own analog prints...in other words, instead of spending $1k on a scanner, put that money into an enlarger setup and go that route. I think that's where I want to go. My problem is I really have no idea where to start. I'm looking for some advice on how to get started...how to experiment with various techniques and papers and whatever other variables there are...without going down too many dead-ends that make me start from scratch all over again. I'm limiting this strictly to B&W for now, since I have at least a little experience with that. I'd like a setup that allows for the biggest possible prints. One thing I like from my digital workflow is being able to make monster prints (I have a 24" HP inkjet). I don't know what the largest sizes of photo enlargement paper are, but I want to be able to use it. My question comes down to this: If you had a budget of $1k and wanted to set up a darkroom from scratch, where would you start? I'm not worried about making the "best" decision regarding all the various options to start, but I do have a sense that I want to get the right enlarger, since I expect that's the one thing I'll be living with the longest. Are there any books or websites you would recommend? Are there any dealers that specialize in used darkroom gear that I should visit? (Some dealer that is to darkroom gear what KEH is to MF camera gear would be perfect.) Any recommendations on where to buy chemistry/paper? If it matters, I'm in Omaha, NE. Thank you so much for any comments or advice you can offer!

Endogenous Matching and the Empirical Determinants of Contract Form
Empirical work on contracts typically regresses contract choice on observed principal and agent characteristics. If (i) some of these characteristics are unobserved or partially observed and (ii) there are incentives whereby particular types of agents end up contracting with particular types of principals, estimated coefficients on the observed characteristics may be misleading. We address this endogenous matching problem using a data set on agricultural contracts between landlords and tenants in early Renaissance Tuscany. Controlling for endogenous matching has an impact on parameters of interest, and tenants' risk aversion appears to have influenced contract choice.

Wilhelm Leopold Colmar
Freiherr von der Goltz
(12.08.1843 - 19.04.1916)
place of birth: Bielkenfeld, Ostpreußen (Ivanovka,
Preußen: Gen-Gouv von Belgien, OBH,
German baron and military theorist,
Freiherr von der Goltz was one of Germany's ten active duty field
marshals during the Great War. Born the second son
of an impoverished Prussian landowner and former military officer,
Colmar von der Goltz was commissioned as a lieutenant at the age of 18.
He served in both the Austro-Prussian War (wounded
at Trautenau) and the Franco-Prussian
War, where as a general staff officer he saw action at
Mars-la-Tour and Le Mans. Baron
von der Goltz was married to Therese Dorguth, with whom he had five
Colmar von der Goltz spent much of his post-1871 career in
staff positions, taking this time to also serve from 1878 to 1883 as a
history lecturer at the Military Academy, and to pen the military
histories noted for their scholarly analysis: "Roßbach und Jena" and
"Das Volk in Waffen" (A Nation in Arms). He thereafter was
promoted to major and in his restlessness was sent to Turkey as
military advisor to the Ottoman Empire (1883-1895), where he helped
modernize the Turkish Army. Upon his return to Germany, Lieutenant
General von der Goltz served as a divisional commander before being
selected as Chief of Combat Engineers and Inspector General of
At the turn of the century, von der Goltz
consistently warned of an impending military conflict with England. His
attitude ruffled some feathers at Great General Staff, and so in 1902
he was brushed off to the province of East Prussia where he commanded
I. Corps. He had been in line to succeed von Schlieffen as
Chief of General Staff, but instead remained in Königsberg
as Inspector General of the Sixth Army Inspectorate, simultaneously
serving as commander of all troops based in East Prussian. In early
1911, von der Goltz was promoted to general field marshal but retired
from military service two years later.
As Germany marched to war, Field Marshal von
der Goltz returned to active duty in 1914 to serve as military governor
of Belgium. In November 1914, he transferred back to
Constantinople as Sultan Mehmed V's senior military advisor and
eventually replaced General Liman von Sanders as commander of the
Bosporous Army in Mesopotamia, present-day Iraq.
Later, as commander of the Turkish Sixth Army, he fought Sir Charles
Townsend's Anglo-Indian forces at Ctesipon and supervised the
five-month siege of Kut-al-Amara. On 19 April 1916,
a few days before the garrison surrendered, von der Goltz died in
Baghdad due to complications from typhus; he was also (falsely) rumored
to have been poisoned by the so-called Young Turks.

May is Arkansas Heritage Month, and this year's theme is "Dreams and Determination: Arkansans at Work." Our state has a rich tradition of determined citizens who made history and changed lives for the better. Because of that tradition, it is fitting that the kickoff for Heritage Month will be held at the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center in Little Rock. The Center, through its own story and the exhibits it houses, draws attention to some of the richest examples of perseverance in Arkansas history.
The Mosaic Templars of America was founded as a fraternal organization in Little Rock in 1883. It was established by innovative Black leaders who were determined to provide illness, death, and burial insurance to African Americans who were denied such services from the white establishment. Eventually, other industries were housed in the original downtown headquarters, including a building-and-loan association, a publishing company, a business college, a nursing school, and a hospital. By launching such businesses, the organization's leaders improved life dramatically for Black Arkansans during the long era of segregation.
The Mosaic Templars of America was so successful that its economic effect reached beyond Little Rock to towns across Arkansas, and well beyond our borders. By the 1920s, it was recognized as one of the largest Black-owned business enterprises in the world. The organization also provided skills-training that otherwise was unavailable, and many of its members were actively involved in the fight for civil rights.
Even the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center building itself, which stands on its original site on the corner of West 9th and Broadway, offers a valuable lesson in strength of character. Years ago, as the area declined and businesses moved out, the building eventually stood empty and abandoned. A grassroots effort by community leaders worked to save it from destruction and to turn it into a museum. But, in 2005, just as renovation began and a new life for the building was within sight, a fire destroyed the entire structure, except for the cornerstone.
Not to be deterred, the Department of Arkansas Heritage built a new building, closely resembling the initial historic structure. Dedicated to telling the history of African-American life and business in Arkansas, the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center collects, preserves, interprets, and celebrates Black heritage, culture, and community. It contains stories and artifacts of Arkansas history from 1870 to the present. In doing so, it provides all of us the opportunity to learn more about the achievements of African-American Arkansans, particularly those who have excelled in business, politics, and the arts.
The exhibits showcased at the Center give visitors, young and old, examples of perseverance, resolve, and determination. By tracing our history, we can see how the work of our ancestors affects us today. In remembering that history, we are better equipped to make the right decisions moving forward.

Mandrake Move 2.0 doesn't seem to find my USB flash drive
I've been using Mandrake Move 2.0 for 1 week. I've figured out how to connect to the internet and I've purchased the pqi intelligent stick 128mb flash stick as recommended on the Mandrake recommened HW area. In the boot process, from what I can tell, the software doesn't pick up the flash drive. Is it possible that it doesn't read it because its a 1.1 USB instead of a 2.0?

Ford Explorer Mercury Mountaineer 2005 and earlier
I don't believe there are any controls in the back of the Explorer. The Expedition has second row controls, but not the Explorer. NOBODY has third row controls...
chuck1 Posts: 1,405There are controls in the for the back seat of my wife's 2002 Explorer. They are located up on the headliner kind of in the center. The question is - Is this a decontented item for 2004 or 2005?
Can you please help me figure out my problem? I just purchased a used 1997 Mercury Mountaineer and the only problem I have with this nice vehicle is the radio. It sounds like there is maybe not enough power to bring the sound on through or all the speakers are blown. There is not that type of sound where speakers are blown though like heavy rattling, so just can't figure it out. Also, in the back seat where you plug in your head phones in the radio control; that works fine if you use the head phones. I just don't know much about radio and speaker electronics. I sure appreciate your time and help. Thanks!
You mean the rear seat speakers are weaker than the front ones? If so, that's normal for this car, why I don't know but that's how they are.
Thanks for the response; however no, all the speakers are weak; they are barely coming through even with the volume turned full. The only way I can listen to it decent would be through the head phones.
then, I'm betting the amp is bad, not the speakers.
Thanks so much for your reply to my problem. Where is this amp located and how do I get it replaced or checked?
Well, now it gets a bit sticky for me. I'm pretty sure it's in the back behind a side panel somewhere, but beyond that, I'm not sure. The actual radio on these cars isn't in the dash, all you have there is the control panel, and the CD/casette player possibly, but the rest of the radio guts is elsewhere in the car. Makes it hard to steal that way. That's what you need to replace probably..... I'd talk to the parts guy at the dealership. Talk to the old codger with the Ford cap on his head......behind the counter.
meemee Posts: 8we have a 04 Lux. Mountaineer. We live in the north east wher it has begun to get very cold. The tire pressure warning system is always going off. Dealer says it is sensitve to the cold pressure changes. Is this common? Any fix? Or just ignore it?
akangl Posts: 3,650Always had its tire pressure light on in the winter. Took us a while to get the pressure exactly right, after that it was fine. I learned to ignore it for the most part until we got it figured out. They are very sensitive to the cold tire pressure, so pick your poison, either adjust it carefully or ignore it.
I have an 03 Explorer XLT, which I am generally happy with except for one issue: it does not have AdvanceTrac stability control.
In looking at the NHSTA rollover resistance ratings, electronic stability control seems to really make a difference in reducing rollover.
Now I'm thinking - is it worth taking a loss and trading in my 03 Explorer for an 05 Explorer with standard stability control? Any thoughts out there on this matter?
Personally, wait till next year. A redesigned version will debut next year.
mschmal Posts: 1,757Alot of people aren't aware that 10 degrees of temperature change will change your tire pressure by about 1 psi.
The pressure sensors are required by NHTSA to be extremely sensitive. The best time to check your tire pressure is on a cold morning.
If you find that you don't have time to check your pressure in the morning. JUST ADD 1 pound of pressure for every 10 degrees of expected temperature difference.
It is normal, the fix is to pump them up to about 40psi in the fall, so that they stay adequately inflated when the temperature drops overnight and you won't set them off in the mornings. You may need to bleed them in the spring again, to keep them from being over inflated in the summer. In short, they need to be checked every couple of months to keep them within safe parameters, and not neglected.
explorerx4 Central CTPosts: 11,929ant14, have an '02 explorer. thinking somewhat the way patrick9 is, so i can get stability control and side curtains. also power moonroof
what will be better about the '06?2017 Ford Fusion SE 2014 Ford F-150 FX4
It'll be resystled, a more powerful 3V 4.6L (from the Mustang), a few other modifications like suspension tuning and such, some new items added, etc. Remember it's the 4th year of the product cycle, therefore it means the modifications will be a bit more extensive.

Last month Steve the host posted a link that was a press release referring to 2004 Explorers tranny clunk or something like that. Does anyone know if the 04's have a different trans. than 02 or 03 explorers? Why only 04 owners questioned?
Same tranny, but different fluid was used.
ANT14 I have been a reader of this forum for quite a while and I think you have posted on here many times in the past. I currently own my 3rd Explorer. I had a 93 sport and now have a 99 XLT and a 02xls. This explorer run will end for me on 12/23 when I trade both my Fords in on my first import SUV. I may be beating a dead horse with this question but in your opinion how with all the problems that Ford is having with the redsigned 02 and newer explorers are they able to get away with no recalls or at least the willingness to repair the ones with major problems even out of warranty? I am mainly talking about the Rear End Pinion Gear/Drivetrain issue that they will not own up to.
You are more prone to hearing about Explorer complaints since there are so many of them on the road. We are talking about 350-431K units yearly. When one thing goes wrong, many more people are seen complaining since it affects a higher population.
Explorer on average, are near the top of their segment in reliability, and beat some comparable imports. But when something does go wrong, it's viewed as "the sky is falling"...While Honda has transmissions failing at high speeds, and Toyota has oil sludge/engine problems yet are easily forgiven. Something the media recently has been critisized over doing.
If a recall hasn't been issue, chances are it's affecting such a lower percentage of the vehicles population, and/or NHTSA hasn't found a need to require the manufacturer to initiate a recall.
As I've mentioned before, if a specific dealer hasn't been willing to fix your issue, you can try another, and/or try Ford's Customer support and document the issues till a resolution is made.
Thanks ANT14 Dude do you work for Ford? I have called every Ford dealer in my local area as well as the Customer Support Lines (I wonder if over in India where they are answering the phones they call it customer support with a straight face) and I have gotten no help what so ever. I know Ford has alot of vehicles on the road, the way I see that is if you have made that many vehicles you should know how to engineer and build a rear end that works and will not begin to fail in large numbers and in short time periods. I mean is the rear diff. in a vehicle like the Explorer some kind of new technology?
I would guestimate a good 90% of the time, it's not really Ford's fault. It's really the supplier's. Because of the bad economy, and the increased costs on raw resources/materials, it's much more diffucult for supplier's to manufacturer/supply a part and keep it profittable for themselves while fighting for business with competitors. Therefore, change the formula on one part, and it can adversly affect it. Everything down to "the oven wasn't set at the appropiate temperature", and that itself can cause an issue for the mentioned issue.
Many times the manufacturer has no idea there's an issue with the part, and goes ahead to install it. Us as consumers, will always run the risk of testing most of these parts, even if supposedly they have been used before-yet the formula changed a bit.
One of your suggestions was to contact my local dealers about the rear end problem. This response you just gave must be a canned answer that Ford is telling their people to give to customers. The service mgr. at one of my local dealers gave me the same line of bull. I was going to ask what dealership you worked for so I could bring my truck in to you but I already see what response I will get. Look I don't mean to target the brunt of my frustration toward you but I do not believe that a company like Ford can use a supplier like Dana for rear ends and settle for faulty/cheap parts and not be able to accept the responsibility when they do so. A Service Mgr. told me that it was not Fords fault it was the supplier. I then asked for the suppliers phone # and a contact name and was told that the supplier did not take calls from Ford customers with problems. The redesigned Explorers came out in 01, how many years and how many rear end failures have to occur before Engineers at Ford will either fix the problem or find a new supplier. This is not rocket science but I guess Ford is smarter than all of us consumers because they can continue to build sub par vehicles with known mechanical problems and foolish people myself at one time included, will continue to buy them. I sure would like to hear others opinions on this subject.
I do not deal directly with dealership experiences, other than taking care of it for friends (for other manufacturer's) when they can't resolve an issue. The same advice I'm giving you, is the same advice I've given friends whenever they have an issue over any vehicle.
If you understand the structure of how dealerships work, you will understand that it's not Ford's fault directly how a dealership treats you. There's certain limitations overall, the dealership is seen as a service center, and outlet. Or for another example, it's like returning an item to your favorite dept. store...If one won't do it, you try the other, and the other.
You could contact the supplier and your own, and vent your frustration, although their contract with Ford doesn't require them to even read or respond to your letter. And because of the contract, it means Ford is bound to them till the contract expires. At that time, Ford will assess if they wish to continue the contract with a certain supplier. We all saw what happened with the Ford/Firestone marriage.
Now pertaining to the current issue, it only affected certain '04 vehicles, because that's when the supplier messed up. The problem was caught, and rectified promptly. In your case I would continue to press the issue till you reach a resolution.
I myself have been known to drive to 7 counties, to get a friends POS Passat fixed, over an A/C mold issue that dealer's didn't wish to touch. It was an "interpretation" case.... I SMELLED it, they didn't. Hence, no one wanted to bother. Found one dealership 190 miles away that did.... (4th time the charm though). But I'm annoyingly persistant that way, others might not be.
I have a 03 Explorer that had the rear end 'whine' problem. It took about three visits to the dealer, but it did get fixed. I was just persistent and they finally told me that a fix was not yet available, although a fix was being worked on (I believe this was around Spring 04) and that they would call me when it was available.
Well they did call (yes, a minor miracle IMHO) and about 2 days later the problem was truly fixed. I have not had any problems at all since then. I believe they (Ford) replaced the rear end gears,etc.. (minus the housing).
ANT14 Thanks for your responses to my questions.
Patrick9 how many miles were on your 03 and I am assuming that it was under warranty. How many miles on truck post repair?
Still have 94 Explorer, 140,000 miles - original engine, transmission. Have only repaired A/C and normal wear items on truck since new.
Had 97 Mountaineer. No mechanical problems in 24,000 miles.
Had 98 Mountaineer. No mechanical problems in 30,000 miles.
Had 02 Mountaineer - No mechanical problems in 35,000 miles.
Have 04 Mountaineer - No mechanical problems so far in 8,000 miles. Although transmission sometimes misses a shift. I'm not ready to quit buying Ford products because of it though, after this kind of track record, if the transmission does fail on this one, I'll get Ford to fix it. Plenty of time left on the warranty. If the truck turns out to disappoint me, I will turn it back in when the lease is up and get another one. After all of these great trucks, I'm probably due for one with a glitch, don't you think? Unlike some people, I don't expect perfection, because they're machines and machines sometimes break. I just expect it to be fixed as agreed, by the manufacturer's authorized dealer. And usually, they do that pretty well, I've found at my Lincoln/Mercury dealer here.
whatsachevy Posts: 136My wife's '03 Explorer XLT V8 has been occasionally making a clunking noise and seems, at times, to "slip" at lower speeds. The vehicle has approximately 14,000 miles. Just got it back from the dealer for the second time. First time they said it was the transmission solenoid which they replaced. Noticed the "slipping" sensation again. Second time they couldn't find anything else wrong. I have also noticed a "clicking" sound when starting forward or backward from a standing stop. It almost sounds like the hubs unlocking on my old pickup. Dealer did not mention anything about any reoccurring rear-end problems. If anyone has any additional information on this issue, could you please post. THANKS!
We currently have approx. 13k miles on our Explorer. We noticed the rear-end whine very early on, and I think it finally got fixed at approx. 9-10k miles. So we have been driving with the fix for about 3-4k miles or so.
One other thing I should mention (see post just above). We also had an issue where it would feel like the transmission would 'slip' or 'shudder' when going around corners. For example, when making a right turn from a stop sign - you could feel a shudder or slip. I thought that problem was related to the rear-end whine issue, but it was not. This problem was fixed prior to the whine problem.
All of the above was corrected under warranty.

I think everybody has had some kind of issue with the elevator. It's a serious design flaw. Mine failed in flight and caused a very bad crash. I sent mine in to Horizon Hobby 2 weeks ago and havent heard back from them. I really feel they will not come through for me but we will see. It's only a matter of time until you crash your plane because of elevator failure unless you fix it. I wouldn't fly it until it's fixed. Most people have had luck with the CA hinges, zip tie reinforcers and what not. I talked with a guy at Horizon and they said they were going to fix the problem in the next production run IF they get enough complaints about it.
If anyone else has experienced problems with their planes, please contact Horizon Hobby customer service at (877) 504-0233 and let them know about it. If the machine puts you on hold too long, a recording comes on and will ask you for a call back number. They WILL call you back if you cant wait on hold. If no one complains about it, they won't be aware of any issues and won't change anything. It's really up to us, as consumers, to demand better products for the kind of money we shell out for these "toys", which arent cheap! We can help Horizon be a better company and produce better quality planes if we just make them aware when we have any problems.
i dont want to come across as a fanboy, but i think theyre aware that the elevators are garbage. the ones from frankie work great, if you dont mind the color difference.
ok, im a fanboy. i dont care.
We're already all over the elevator issue, although it will be a while before any new design works its way through the distribution channels. Not all elevators seem to be affected, either. My best advice is to inspect, and if you find a problem, reinforce with tape or install new hinges.
Were was everyone back on page 29 post 435? https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...070619&page=29
Saying NO NO! dont buy that battery.....well i bought 2 of them and 2 and a half weeks later (slowbycity) i get them. Now im new and dont know anything so you can be assured i didnt test voltages or anything because i dont know how. Im flying around and right when im over the lake at the park i lose all control crash into the water. i go get a fishing pole and try to fish it out. 20 minutes and 20 pounds of seaweed later i got it. The esc is fried and where it was is all burned up the pilot top is still in the lake along with the nose cone the plane is soaked and who knows what still works on it. So if you dont know what your doing like me spend the extra money get the parkzone battery the speed they ship is worth it alone.
How do know it was the battery? and what charger did you use?
I guess it's relative Hover, but I don't want to mislead anyone. The Phase 3 spinner is only .50 more than the stock P-51 BL spinner and as you pointed out the "Frankie" spinner is $2.00 less than the stock P-51BL spinner.
Have you tried your LHS for a stock BL spinner? Probably not going to find one. That seems to be why most people (including me) have used the "Frankie" spinner. Wish Horizon would get the parts for the new P-51 to the LHS for stock...
Other than the looks, I would also like to point out that I am sure most people have had the stock P-51 spinner fly off unintentionally, either by a crummy fit or a crash. This will not happen on the Phase 3 spinner as it is held on by screws. Additionally, the Phase 3 is clear lexan painted red on the inside - this keeps the spinner from losing paint due to scratches when you land and nose over a little. The Phase 3 spinner looks as bright and shiny as the day I put it on.
For ME - if you consider that the Phase 3 spinner is only .50 more than the stock spinner, or that if you buy the "Frankie" spinner at $2.50 cheaper (You will end up with a spinner that needs to be painted ($$) or you have to run a spinner that does not match at all) the Phase 3 is well worth the extra" $$$
After all, I have to keep my image of a "Baller" up - so what's .50 when I easily spent 1,000 X that for my gold pinky pimp ring? LOL
I can atest that the hobby city batteries are awsome. I have always bought high end lipo( thunderpower,flightpower,enerland,polyquest,SMC ex. and the lipos I have gotten from hobbycity at 1/10th the cost have performed as well and some have performed better than the highend name brand lipos. More times than not the cheap hobbycity lipos have outperformed my more expensive lipos(and that really get to me)
Check your charger, and check the other battery. I cant see it being the battery is you lost all control b/c even if a cell died the bec would still work allowing you to have control over your plane(it would just shut off the motor and dont ask how I know)
I never had any problems with it (not even the elevator) it did break in the crash though along with the rudder wich nearly cracked off. other than that and the burned away foam where the esc was its ok i guess. maybe i just need a new, better, esc and hopefully everything else still works.
If you are 'new" and "dont know anything" as you put it - READ. Read every page of this thread. I read over 600 pages on this web site and RCUniverse before I bought the PZ Corsair and I am still learning. One thing you will do is discover that just about EVERYONE on here has a different OPINION on what is the best...
It is up to you and ONLY you to figure out what works best for YOU. The answer to the type of battery, how to find the planes CG, type of ESC, type of motor, elevator mod, best Rx, Best Tx etc, is all contained here at RCgroups.
I would like to suggest two more things...
1. If you "dont know" ask BEFORE you try something - everyone here is very helpful and will be more than happy to get you on your way.
Also - I posted THIS on the first page, 8th post of this thread. It has been discussed in detail. Your plane flamed out because you did not upgrade the ESC.

I would like some other input here, but I personally cannot think of anyway that a battery can fry an ESC. One typical scenareo is that the motor is over taxed by too many volts, or too much prop. This causes it to draw more current than the ECS can handle. The ESC Fries. You loose all control and crash out of control. Of course with just a dead battery the motor will not run, but you still have control. Total loss of control = dead ESC. But a 3S battery cannot cause the Gunfighter ESC to fail. Something else has to cause an excessive current drain.
Other thoughts on this?
yeah im kidding....mostly
i dont blame anyone for not saying dont use that battery and im sure the battery is a good battery the esc just couldnt handle it. 1.) if you go back i did ask questions wondering if thats a good battery for the stock setup and nobody really said anything so i figured what the heck i should have researched myself rather than asked.
and 2. i fly mostly over land but there is a pond at the park im just unlucky i tried pulling up but nothing happened my reciever is probably broken too then i bet eh?
im just trying to warn people be careful with the batteries you put in there with the stock esc cause mine failed with a battery thats the same with just a slightly higher c rating.
I use a more powerfull battery(thunderpower propower 1350 30C) than the one you posted and dont have an issue with my all stock plane I even use d a 1800 30C propower today for more weight in the wind (blowing 20+mph today when I flew)
See the common theme? They are all saying you need to go to a BIGGER ESC.
Believe me A - I am no electronics expert, but basically when you go to a bigger battery or bigger prop you are drawing/pulling more AMPS through your ESC (Speed Controller). Each ESC is rated 18a (The A is for amps) 20a, 30a, 40a etc.
Anytime you are pulling more electricity through your ESC to go faster you need to go up (higher number) on your ESC.
Take some time and start at the beginning of this thread. read from page one to here. You must be a pretty smart guy, after all, you found your way here You will be amazed at what an expert you will become from reading and listening to what all the great people who know more than you or I know, post on here.
Sorry to hear about your plane. Now get her fixed and promise me that you will ask BEFORE you try something the next time.
Good Luck...

Express Logic Responds to Copyright Infringement Ruling
Express Logic, Inc., the worldwide leader in royalty-free real-time operating systems (RTOS), provided a clarification of the results of its arbitration against Green Hills Software, alleging copyright infringement of its ThreadX RTOS. The arbitration was brought by Express Logic against Green Hills Software in June, 2006, for infringement of Express Logic's copyright on the ThreadX RTOS, as well as for contractual and statutory violations. Green Hills counter-claimed for defamation and contract violations. Express Logic's claim of copyright infringement was based on its belief that Green Hills Software had engaged in copying ThreadX API source code contained in Express Logic's tx_api.h header file during the development of the u-velOSity RTOS. The arbitrators, none of whom were judges, noted that Green Hills did in fact copy the ThreadX API header file, but ruled that their copying did not infringe Express Logic's copyright on ThreadX. The arbitrators also denied all of the non-copyright claims of both parties.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 (UPI) -- A U.S. congressman reversed himself and is now praising an Indiana University student who published an Internet tool to create fake airline boarding passes.
Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., last week said Christopher Soghoian, 24, should be arrested for posting the tool that created a Northwest Airlines boarding pass, but now says Soghoian performed a public service.
On Friday, the FBI executed a search warrant on Soghoian's home and confiscated his computer equipment. Wendy Osborne, a special agent with the FBI's Indianapolis field office told the Washington Post she could not discuss the case as the warrant had been sealed, and that the FBI would investigate jointly with the Transportation Security Administration and decide whether charges would be filed.
Markey, meanwhile, said Soghoian had caught the TSA off guard and exposed a security vulnerability.
"He picked a lousy way of doing it, but he should not go to jail for his bad judgment," Markey said. "Better yet, the Department of Homeland Security should put him to work showing public officials how easily our security can be compromised."

Hot Trailer: Watch 'On the Road' with Kristen Stewartby Andy Neuenschwander
Jack Kerouac's groundbreaking novel "On the Road" may be one that you picked up in a bookstore knowing it was a classic, or one that was assigned to you in one of your English classes. "Twilight" probably isn't. But the two do have one thing in common: Kristen Stewart.
The first trailer for the movie adaptation of "On the Road" has hit, and fans of K-Stew will get to see their first glimpses of the "Twilight" star in her newest role. A little bit of skin? Check. Some jazzy dancing? Also check. Robert Pattinson wearing makeup? Nowhere to be seen.
Starring along with Stewart are Sam Riley and Garret Hedlund, who have had very different careers of late: Riley has stuck to indie films, while Hedlund has starred in big-budget action flicks like "Tron: Legacy" and "Troy," and will appear next in "Akira," should it actually get off the ground.
Also appearing in the movie are Kirsten Dunst, Viggo Mortensen, Amy Adams, and a host of other talented actors.
Check out the trailer below for as long as it lasts... if it gets pulled, you can always watch the trailer at the "On the Road" Facebook page.

Under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), "the book" is to buy equipment late in the year in order to claim a half-year's deduction. However, your situation may call for drastic measures.
Strategy: Replace worn-out or obsolete equipment right now. If you load up on such purchases early in the year—and purposely "flunk" a tax-law test later on—you'll come out ahead.
Here's the story: Normally, business assets (other than real estate) that you buy are treated as if they were placed in service halfway through the year, regardless of when that actually occurs. That's commonly called the "half-year convention" in tax lingo. For five-year MACRS assets, the first-year write-off is 20 percent of the cost; it's 14.29 percent for seven-year assets.
For instance, since computers are five-year assets, ...(register to read more)

Joe Mathis had not been talking with Notre Dame much so when the Irish offered on Tuesday the Upland, Calif., four-star defensive end was surprised.
The 6-foot-4, 254-pound prospect said he knows the basics on Notre Dame but he has a lot of time to make his decision so over the coming months he'll learn much more about the program.
"They just hit me up and they said they want to offer me," Mathis said. "I wasn't even talking to them before.
Article Continues Below
"It's a cool offer. Notre Dame is a great school. I don't really know too much about them really but I'm definitely going to consider them. I'm interested in everybody right now. I don't have a top five so I'm definitely looking at them."
Notre Dame is the latest offer for Mathis, rated as the eighth-best strong-side defensive end and No. 93 prospect in the early 2013 rankings by Rivals.com.
Mathis, a former Washington commit, had a top five early on and was thinking about making another pledge but has decided to slow things way down. Now he doesn't plan to narrow his list until his senior season and then make a decision at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
The four-star said it's nice to take it easy and to analyze each school to make sure he's doing the right thing. With so many major offers - and now Notre Dame in the fold - Mathis will have a lot to think about.
"It is nice sitting back," Mathis said.
"This way I could focus on school and getting better. It's easy to say I don't have a top five and I really don't. I'm going to give every school an equal chance until September. That makes it easier on me."
Mathis could be close to another offer. He said Alabama has been in serious contact with the Upland coaches and something might happen soon.
"They've been calling every day," Mathis said. "That one is to be continued."

Santa Claus reached out for a little help from Stopbadware.org this week.
The consumer advocacy group said it was approached by an Incline Village, Nevada, man who has legally changed his name to Santa Claus and who asked them to help figure out why his website was being flagged by Google's website filters.
It turned out that Santa's website, Santaslink.net had been hacked.
Claus is a children's advocate who has travelled across the US meeting with legislators, according to his website. He also makes seasonal appearances as Saint Nick.
"He had consulted local experts, which we can only assume were elves, but they were unable to identify anything wrong with his site," wrote StopBadware.org developer Jason Callina.
"Nestled all snug in the bottom of his homepage was a nice little bit of code containing a badware link," he added.
The problem was soon resolved "and the workshop is once again a safe place," Callina said.
Stopbadware.org was founded earlier this year, with funding from Google, Lenovo and Sun Microsystems as a community watchdog to help protect consumers from malicious software like spyware and viruses.
Callina said he's learned something from the Santa Claus experience.
"The moral of the story is that the Grinches who are looking to spread their unsafe software are willing to hack even Santa's website."

Celtic face loan star selection dilemma
Neil Lennon admits his bid to prevent Mo Bangura lining up against Celtic for Elfsborg in tomorrow night's Champions League third qualifier at Parkhead has almost certainly been in vain.
The Hoops manager has been strident in his position that the on-loan striker would be best served not playing against his parent club.
However, the 24-year-old striker from Sierra Leone arrived in Glasgow for the first leg, with the Swedish club's boss Jorgen Lennartsson reiterating that he will play if required.
Lennon, speaking at the pre-match press conference at the club's Lennoxtown training complex, is now preparing for a "strange sort of scenario."
"I am not going to make a big song and dance about it but the reality of it is, there is a big possibility that Mo could play," he said.
"If he plays, he plays and we are preparing for it as if he is playing.
"You would probably need to ask him how he is feeling more than me.
"We made our feelings pretty clear over the last week or so but we have to respect Elfsborg's decision.
"I am trying to do what's best for Celtic and the Elfsborg manager is trying to do what's best for Elfsborg.
"There is a good relationship between the two clubs. I just think it puts Mo in a very difficult position.
"I wouldn't like to be in that position myself, put it that way.
"I am sure Mo will know plenty about our players but we also have plenty of information on Elfsborg.
"I watched them at the weekend and Johan (Mjallby, Celtic's Swedish assistant) knows Swedish football very well so we will be well prepared for them."
Parkhead midfielder Joe Ledley was quoted as saying that if Bangura "scored the winner and knocked us out of the Champions League, then it would be difficult for him to come back."
Lennon was asked about the nightmare scenario and he recognised the danger.
"We are talking hypothetically so we will cross that bridge if and when we come to it," he said.
"It is a situation that doesn't occur very much in football but we will deal with as best we can."
The former Celtic skipper stressed the increase in quality Elfsborg represent in comparison to Irish League title holders Cliftonville, whom the Scottish champions beat 5-0 on aggregate in the previous round.
"They are the Swedish champions with international players, full-time obviously and 17 games into their season, so they are match-sharp," he said.
"They are a good, very well-organised side who pass the ball very well.
"There is a good mixture of youth and experience in their team and they are obviously off the back of winning the title so they come into this season confident.
"I think they are probably putting more emphasis on qualification into the Champions league than their progress in the league, so they are a very dangerous opponent.
"It is a concern that the longer the game goes on we might tire a little bit quicker than they will but I think we have enough quality on our side to give them enough problems."
Lennon, who insisted there had been no second bid from Nottingham Forest for defender Kelvin Wilson, revealed that Derk Boerrigter will be added to his squad if the 26-year-old Ajax forward completes his medical this afternoon.
The Northern Irishman said: "He is the type of player we have been looking for, for a while. "He is a very fast, direct, left-footed player who has goals in him with his left and right foot.
"He is also very powerful. He has good experience and he has played at a high level for the last two or three years.
"So if all goes well we will be absolutely delighted to get that over line."

Good Morning All,
Checking in after two days away. Thursday was the long drive to the oral surgeon's. He is still thinking another surgery, but wants to wait until I have had the colon surgery. He has prescribed me two different steroids for now to see if we can get me to a liveable level of movement/painlessnes. Of course I need to take a bunch of other stuff to counter act the sideeffects - so it seems all I do all day is tend to dental stuff and take pills. It could be much worse, so I don't mind too much.
DH came with me and I did a little shopping - again. There is enough nip in the air that it made me finally purchase some fall clothes that will take me thru the season as my regular fall clothes are still too big - I only got a few as they won't fit too long, if I gain the weight they want me to.
We came home via Waterbury and Stowe and visited the Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream factory - dh had never visted. Sample flavor of the day was Strawberry Cheesecake.
We stocked up on local wines, local chocolate and local coffee, cider and some pumpkin butter too - which I will slather on my toast this moring.
Also bought some hot pepper jelly, which is lovely over cream cheese then served with crackers or tortilla chips.
Yesterday was busy filling prescriptions and catching up. More of the same today. Hoping I can get my fall decorations out and up.
Well the coffee is ready...
Sue - great news about your middle daughter - prayers have been answered.
RD - I hope you get to fly out - happy house hunting!
Phyll - praying all goes well this weekend - I know it is difficult
Have loved the recent moose pictures!
Hoping you all have a meaningful day,
NCL Dream
