GAINESVILLE - A Gillsville woman already jailed for identity fraud and theft faces dozens more charges as the investigation into her case continues.
Hall County authorities said in a press statement they obtained additional warrants on March 25 for Kathy Ann Cantrell after they found she opened four credit card accounts in the names of two different people. She is charged with using the credit cards 460 times in an eight-month time period between June 2013 and January 2014.
Investigators said she received over $40,120 in currency, goods and services with the fraudulently-obtained credit cards.
Authorities increased the amount of Cantrell's bond to $2,685,000. She remains in the Hall County Jail.
See story linked below for information on the previous charges filed against Cantrell.

Some northeast Kansas dentists report they can't serve all of their KanCare patients because of long-standing low rates from Medicaid.
E. Hamrick Swan Jr., a Manhattan dentist, said the current reimbursement rate accounts for about 40 percent of his fee. He said low rates are one reason that dentists aren't moving into underserved areas where many of the patients are covered by KanCare, the managed care plan running Medicaid in Kansas
"The Legislature has put it on dentists' back to support these people," he said. "They're underserved because nobody can afford to make a living at 40 percent of their fee."
Swan said he still takes KanCare patients, but he will need to reduce how many he accepts. Practices need to have a majority of their patients paying through private insurance to cushion the low rate for KanCare patients, he said.
"If the percent of patients (covered by Medicaid) hits 40 or 50 percent, you're having trouble," he said. "It's getting very difficult to meet all of my obligations.
Aimee Rosenow, public information officer for Kansas Department of Health and Environment's health programs, said the switch to KanCare included a requirement that rates couldn't fall below their 2012 levels, though they could rise. The state spent $57.3 million on dental care for KanCare recipients in 2013, up from $50.7 million for Medicaid dental services in 2012, she said.
"None of the rates have been cut pre- or post-KanCare," she said.
Kevin Robertson, executive director of the Kansas Dental Association, said Medicaid reimbursement rates haven't decreased since 2001, but they may not go as far for providers because other costs have risen. He said the flat reimbursement rate paid to dentists covered about 50 percent of costs in 2009, but he believes it amounts to a lower percentage now.
"There hasn't been a cut," he said. "There just hasn't been an increase."
Some offices also are reporting trouble getting paid because the managed care organizations running KanCare want to preauthorize some procedures and sometimes decline to pay part of the bill, Robertson said. For example, the organizations have been reluctant to approve nitrous oxide, otherwise known as laughing gas, for patients who don't want to be conscious during procedures, he said.
"A lot of the problem we're having now is getting reimbursed in general," he said.
Jodi Hauschild, office manager for East Topeka Dental Associates, said the Topeka practice doesn't take KanCare patients, but its two-day clinic in Holton can take a limited number of patients. Only a small percentage of their Holton patients pay through KanCare, she said, though they work with foster homes in the area to serve new child patients.
The total number of patients is limited because the clinic only opens on two days, Hauschild said, but reimbursement rates also limit how many KanCare patients they can accept. The length of time to process KanCare claims also creates headaches, because it often takes more than a month to get paid, she said.
Still, dentists Benjamin Rutherford and Carrie Peterson accept some KanCare patients in Holton because so few other providers do, Hauschild said.
"They feel like it's providing a service in that rural area," she said. "It's pretty necessary in that particular community that somebody be a provider."
Kathy Steck, assistant office manager at Topeka Dental Clinic, said the office is one of only a few in Topeka that take KanCare. They make it work because the three dentists and 20 assistants and hygienists on staff can see a larger volume of patients than most practices could, she said.
"Whereas one doctor at a practice can only see one patient, we can see six," she said.
Steck said the office doesn't turn away KanCare patients, but new patients often have to wait several months for an open slot. They already are booked through May, she said.
"It would be helpful and nice if other providers in Topeka would accept Medicaid," she said. "We just don't have room for them all."

I enjoyed the extra ice, was made quickly. then one day it stopped working. It was of course past the warranty...It does not have a section that keeps ice frozen...it melts and will cycle back and make more ice.Read More

Fine at first; then disappointment
This is more like the first EdgeStar portable ice maker I purchased about 5+ years ago. That one was wonderful & we just loved it, so I had no hesitation in purchasing this one. The last one's fan (which had hard plastic blades) finally wore out & made a terrible noise. So I returned to Overstock & looked up EdgeStar again. We didn't care for the fact that this one was a little more difficult to tell that it needed water. The first one just had a red light that would come on when water should be added. But this machine made plenty of ice for us & at first we were very pleased with it. Then, about a week after having it, a loud noise started occuring during operation. It sounds a lot like the noise our old ice maker made before the fan went out. Since it has gotten louder over the past few days, I regretfully will be returning it. I'm extremely disappointed as I had looked forward to at least another five years of using this wonderful machine.Read More
This ice maker does make ice, although it takes some time to make any great quantity. The ice, even after several cycles, still seems to have an after taste though.Read More
NOT a Worthy Purchase
This icemaker broke within 6 months of usage. Save your money--buy bagged ice, instead!Read More
I owned another for nearly four years before it wore out. I was so excited to get this one. I am so disappointed.Read More
Wish the cubes were bigger
I love this machine, if you don't have an ice maker and have lived with ice trays, you will kick yourself for not buying this item sooner! It is SUPER FAST and keeps making ice all night as long as you need it. No mess, no fuss, just recycles any ice that melts into new ice.Read More
Questions & Answers

Gift college student
"We have this ice maker and all of a sudden it won't do anything. The only thing that will happen is that the little scoop that moves the ice out of the tray will start to move, then stops. No water goes in or any other movement. Please help. Is there a manual?"
Thank you for contacting us jdn09. You will be contacted by Customer Care.
"is there a parts breakdown on this unit? I lost the little plastic plug that closes the hole and then you screw the cap on over it. it still works great, but does drip water."
Hello weo75, we will have Customer Care contact you right away. Thank you for shopping with us.
"Just acquired this unit used. Can we run vinegar water thru to get hard water deposits off inside unit? Do we just put water in and open the plug on the side to have it flush out?"
Hi pookiekoa1, unfortunately I was unable to confirm this information, sorry for the inconvenience, have a great day!
"Is there something wrong with my ice machine? I received this ice machine 2 days ago and gave it a test run on my kitchen counter. I opened the top (cleans it out), filled water to the line, plugged it in, and then turned the power button on. I selected my ice size and heard things churning on the inside. I then waited for about half and hour and nothing happened. I looked up online for trouble shooting problems and went through all of those issues. Nothing seems to be working and I cant get the thing to make ice. Any suggestions?"
Thank you for your question kkohli. You will be contacted by Customer Care. Have a great day.
"Can this be plugged into a regular home outlet?"
Thank you for contacting us, yes this can be plugged into a standard home outlet. Please let me know if you have any further question.
"Is there a temperature setting anywhere on the ice maker? I am very pleased with it's ice making ability, however when the ice tray needs to be emptied, the tray needs to be drained of excess water before emptying in an ice bucket. If the ice bucket is put in the freezer, the ice cubes then freeze together in clumps and need to be pried apart."
Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
"Can this machine be hooked up to a water line..ie..like the ice machine in my refrigerator."
This machine is designed for portable use only.
"What is the capacity of the reservoir? Does it have an auto shut off when ice basket gets full? Does it have a timer for auto start or auto stop?"
This portable ice maker does have an automatic shut off when the ice basket gets full. The unit does not have a timer for auto start and stop. Once you fill the unit with water, the ice making cycle lasts 6-15 minutes, depending on the size of the ice cubes selected.

One water provider is invoking religion to get its customers to pay up.
The Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB) in Pakistan has begun sending customers the following text message: "Have you ever wondered if you've paid for the water you are using to perform wuzu?"
Wuzu is the washing ritual Muslims traditionally perform before prayer, according to Atlantic Cities.
Karachi has a problem: Only 10 percent of customers pay their water bills. In a new text-message campaign that invokes religious themes, KWSB is stepping up its efforts to make customers pay.
Wajid Iqbal Siddiqui, a KWSB official, said customers sometimes invoke religion when asked why they are not paying their bills. The most frequent excuse, he told Atlantic Cities, is this: "Tomorrow, you'll want to charge us for sunshine and the air we breathe. Water is Allah's blessing. Why should we pay for it?"
Not all of KWSB's text messages invoke religion.
"Some merely tell customers to keep an eye out for their next bill and remind them to pay before the due date. Others contain tips on how to save water. Often, the texts alert customers about water supply disruptions and breakdowns — something that happens regularly in Karachi, with its aging and inadequate water infrastructure," the report said.
KWSB computerized its billing system as recently as 2007, according to the report. By plunging into the digital age and making text pleas to customers, officials hope to increase revenue and "make water service more reliable," the report said.
But revenue is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Karachi's water problems. Just this month, KWSB officials predicted major upcoming difficulties. A KWSB spokesperson said lower dam levels and lower levels of rain will result in water shortages, according to the News Tribe.
In the developing world, supply capacity cannot keep up with demand in many places.
"Karachi experiences this syndrome to a large extent and consumers face the consequences of a faltering water supply for a sizeable period of time. People have resorted to various kinds of alternative arrangements and though these ensure a basic type of supply, at best they are quasi legal," according to Water Supply In Pakistan, an in-depth study published by Oxford University Press.
Crime poses problems, as well.
"Tanker trucks controlled by mafia gangs illegally pump water out of hydrants and sell it to desperate customers at inflated rates. KWSB doesn't use water meters because there's no money to pay for them and the power supply isn't consistent enough to run them anyway," Atlantic Cities reported.

A SELFLESS schoolboy has had his head shaved to raise money for a charity set up in memoryof his best friend, who died after suffering a brain tumour.
Alfie Wellington, 12, of Point Road, Canvey was devastated by the death of 11-year-old Danny Green in July 2012 of brain and spinal cancer.
The Leigh Beck Primary School pupils had been inseparable since they started nursery together.
Determined to do something in Danny's honour, Alfie decided to part company with a whole year's growth of hair to raise cash for the Danny Green Fund.
Alfie's mum, Kim Wellington, said: "They'd known each other since they were babies. They went to nursery and primary school together and were really good friends. He took it really badly when Danny died, as they were so close.
"He's been growing his hair since last summer. Rather than growing down, it had been growing outwards, so I'm glad he's had it cut.
"It's such a lovely thing for him to do. I'm extremely proud of him. At first, he thought he would get £50 or so, but we told him to aim higher, and so far he's raised £430."
The Danny Green Fund was set up by Danny's family to help young sufferers of the condition he had, posterior fossa syndrome.
It is a rare condition which can occur after a brain tumour is surgically removed from the brain stem, causing loss of speech and the ability to swallow, weakness and poor balance.
It leaves some children, as was the case with Danny, unable to hold up their heads, or walk.
Danny's mum, Lisa Green said: "It's such a great thing to do – especially for a young boy of 12. To do this in his friend's memory is amazing.
"Alfie and Danny were very close and were often referred to as Dick and Dom at nursery, as they were always together."

Notes: McPherson providing big 'D'
Notes: McPherson providing big 'D'
On Wednesday, McPherson started two double plays that figured prominently in the Angels' 5-1 win over the Yankees. The rookie third baseman also was on the receiving end of what he said was the hardest ball he's ever seen hit when Alex Rodriguez scorched a base hit to left that McPherson barely had time to get a glove on.
Regardless, McPherson felt he should have made a play on it, or at least knocked it down. But he said he's starting to get more comfortable at the position with each day that he's in the lineup.
"I've been feeling pretty good at third ever since I went down to Triple-A," McPherson said. "Hopefully I'll just keep building off it."
The 24-year-old was hitless in his first two games after being called up April 18, but he's hit in six of his last seven games, including doubles in each of the three games at Yankee Stadium.
McPherson has yet to hit a home run with the Angels this season, but said he's content to go the other way as most pitchers have been working the outer half of the plate. The bigger issue for him is making the adjustments to Major League pitching so he can develop his timing and worry about the homers later.
"I want to get on base and take my walks. I want to be a more consistent hitter," McPherson said. "What suits me best and what fits the team best is to square up and put the ball in play."
With no one in position to unseat McPherson at this point, third base is essentially his job to lose, but his play is raising the confidence level within the organization.
"His quality of at-bats has jumped up," manager Mike Scioscia said. "There are adjustments that every player has to go through and we need production from that position. The more he gets comfortable the better it is for us."
Cloud 9: David Matranga got the call he was waiting for Wednesday when the Angels pulled the infielder up from Triple-A Salt Lake to replace Maicer Izturis, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained MCL in his left knee.
Matranga said he was watching the Angels playing the Yankees on television with his wife, who was also surfing the Internet. Sarah saw a report that Izturis was hurt and they began to speculate who might be called up, but didn't think he would be included.
When Salt Lake manager Dino Ebel later called, Matranga didn't recognize the phone number and thought it was a friend. But disbelief was quickly replaced by excitement when he realized he was to join the Angels for the finale at Yankee Stadium
"It is an unbelievable feeling, shock. I've never been here," Matranga said. "To experience the history of this place is amazing."
Matranga had played in the New York/Penn League, but his trip to New York City was a first. It was also to be a quick one. After landing Wednesday, he went to the team hotel and then left immediately for the ballpark. The team charter was scheduled to leave for Minnesota after Thursday's game.
With Adam Kennedy and Bengie Molina set to return in early May, Matranga's time with the Angels figures to be short. But he plans to make the most of it.
"You just never know. I've seen so many weird things happen," Matranga said. "You try not to play manager, general manager. It's easy to get caught up in that, but I've been in this game long enough to know anything can happen. I figure I won't be here too long. I'll just try to help the team."
Matranga's previous Major League experience was brief. He was called up for one game in 2003 by the Astros to replace Julio Lugo, and later that season was called up briefly for Jeff Kent.
"I didn't even make it out of the pot that time," Matranga said of his proverbial cup of coffee. "It was still brewing."
Matranga will be called on mostly to pinch-run, but he can also play second, third and short and some outfield.
Trainer's room: Matt Hensley is scheduled to have arthroscopic surgery to repair a small tear in his right shoulder at the Kerlan-Jobe clinic in Los Angeles on May 3. Team orthopedist Dr. Lewis Yocum will perform the surgery.
Hensley was moved from the 15-day DL to the 60-day DL on Wednesday to make room on the 40-man roster for Matranga.
Progress: Bret Prinz threw from the mound Thursday, his second bullpen session since going on the 15-day DL with a right shoulder strain April 11. Scioscia said the reliever could be headed to Arizona for extended Spring Training as early as the weekend.
On deck: The Angels will travel west to Minnesota for the middle leg of their three-city trip. On Friday, right-hander Paul Byrd will face Twins right-hander Carlos Silva at 5:10 p.m. PT in the first of a three-game series.

A common wage determination hearing was held at 10 am this (Thursday) morning in the County Courthouse Annex building on the Schnellville Road Bridge Replacement Project.
Union Representative Kenny Overton from Evansville headed up the meeting.
Representing citizens of Dubois County were Mike Witte and Jerry Apple.
Overton presented the classifications of jobs for the project. They included carpenter, ironworker, laborer, and operating engineers for heavy equipment and teamsters for driving trucks to and from the work site.
After Overton presented the common wages, he made a motion to accept those wages and the motion was passed by all three on a voice vote.
The wages will now be placed into the bid packages for the project. Dubois County Engineer Jason Heile was in attendance at the hearing and said that the amount of the project will be around $500,000.00.
Heile says that bids will be open on April 15th for the project. He says that the project will start this fall and should be completed by spring of 2014.
The bridge replacement is on Schnellville Road near 400 East, just east of U.B. Klem Furniture.

Three and out: Redman the man for Steelers
NFL.com Staff | Tags: Three and out, Chris Ivory, Darren Sproles, Isaac Redman, Jake Ballard, Mario Manningham, Mark Ingram, Matt Flynn, New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, rashard mendenhall
Mendenhall likely out: The Steelers expect to be without RB Rashard Mendenhall for their Wild Card game against the Broncos after he suffered a knee injury in Week 17. Isaac Redman had a nice game in his place, rushing for 92 yards and a TD. That was against the NFL's 30th-ranked rushing defense, but the good news is that Denver hasn't been much better against the run. Despite improvement during the second half of the season, the Broncos still gave up 126.3 rushing yards per game — good for 22nd best in the league. Redman may not be the first RB that comes to mind if you're selecting a Playoff Challenge squad, but with the Steelers being a favorite over the slumping Broncos, the chances of the second-year back having an encore in the divisional round is likely.
Ingram likely done for season: Saints RB Mark Ingram (toe) wasn't a factor for the final month of the season, and is now expected to have season-ending surgery this week. New Orleans has boasted a deep stable of running backs all season, proven by Chris Ivory's 127-yard, one-touchdown performance Sunday against Carolina. The problem for Playoff Challenge owners is that you never know who will have the big day. Darren Sproles is about as close to a sure thing as you'll find in the New Orleans backfield. After watching this week's opponent, Detroit, give up 45 points to Matt Flynn and the Green Bay Packers, the red-hot Saints have reason to be optimistic.
Manningham, Ballard feeling OK: You may not have known it by watching Sunday night, but the Giants are banged up. Mario Manningham played with a balky knee while TE Jake Ballard sat out altogether. But QB Eli Manning could have more of his weapons at hand for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Manningham saying his knee feels "fine" and Ballard suggested he could be back in action this weekend. Atlanta was a middle of the road defense against the pass during the regular season, which could have a bigger impact on Manningham, who has been relegated to the No. 3 WR role. Ballard, however, was becoming a bigger part of the offense before his injury and could slide back into a very productive slot.

|I thought this route was really cool. As mentioned, it's much longer than it looks from the bottom. You are in for a surprise once you pull the roof. The finishing arete is very cool looking and provides a memorable finish.

|The roof moves were great and felt different from anything else I've done at the Loaf. The upper arete climbing was cruiser fun, but you do have to pay the price of admission with the sequency slab start. While I found the start was the hardest part, others found their crux at the roof. Fortunately for those redpointing, you can easily do some "roped bouldering" to suss out the start moves.

Self-Defense for Travelers--Advice Wanted
In a few months time I will be starting a new consulting position that will require me to travel (by air) frequently. I currently have a FL CCW which works for me almost everywhere with the exception of the Northeast.
However, being that I'll be flying week in and week out, traveling with a firearm (assuming the destination recognizes the FL CCW) will be a hassle. Carrying knives will also require me to check-in; something I'd prefer to avoid. Post 9/11 I much rather print my boarding pass from home and go directly to the gate.
For those of you who have been in this situation before, what did you do? Can anyone else give me some good pointers? If you're staying at the same hotel week after week is it okay to ask them to "hold" things for you? Anything would be helpful.

New way of tracking muscle damage from radiation
St. Jude team shows magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) holds promise for predicting long-term damage to children's muscles, enabling doctors to better avoid it
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could become a valuable tool for predicting the risk of muscle injury during and following radiation therapy, according to investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
The researchers report that MRI can spot the immediate injury done by radiation therapy to the muscles of children undergoing radiation treatment for certain types of soft-tissue cancer. This also indicates that MRI might one day be able to help doctors predict the amount of long-term damage that radiation may cause. A report on these findings appears in the Oct. 25 online issue of Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
The study's findings are significant because as radiation treatments become more advanced and complex, clinicians must have a way to predict the outcomes--including side effects--on specific patients, according to Matthew Krasin, M.D., associate member of the St. Jude Department of Radiological Sciences.
The St. Jude study showed that changes in images taken of muscles before and after radiation therapy for soft tissue sarcoma and Ewing sarcoma are related not only to the amount of radiation the child received, but also to the child's age and the presence of a nearby tumor.
"We hope that detecting these changes at such an early stage may help clinicians predict which patients need an intervention to prevent late damage," Krasin said. Soft tissue sarcomas are cancers that arise in muscles, fat, blood vessels and other soft tissues. Ewing sarcoma is a cancer that arises in the bone or soft tissue, usually in the arms, legs, pelvis or chest wall.
St. Jude researchers studied the muscles of 13 patients before, during and 12 weeks after they received radiation therapy for soft tissue sarcoma. The team used a technique called quantitative T2 to determine the extent of swelling in tissues before, during and after radiation therapy; and a technique called dynamic enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DEMRI) to study what happens to the blood supply at a microscopic level.
"These techniques are powerful, non-surgical ways to look into the body and study the microscopic and biochemical changes that are occurring in each patient after radiation therapy," Krasin said.
The team made 60 images of the same area, including a dynamic view of what was happening in the muscles during a six-minute period following infusion of gadolinium, a contrast agent.
"The rate at which the contrast agent flows in and out of a region, or whether it leaks out of the blood vessel, helps us understand whether the blood supply is in poor or good condition," Krasin said. "Changes in T2 measurements may indicate an increase in swelling following radiation therapy, which is evidence of inflammation that could be treated."
The researchers believe that the early changes they see in muscle, such as swelling and leakage, might help them predict how much damage will occur in the muscles during the course of many months. By better understanding what causes these changes, clinicians will then be able to design better radiation treatments to avoid potential problems or treat the injury at an earlier stage, Krasin said.
The other authors of the study include Xiaoping Xiong, Wilburn E. Reddick, Robert J. Ogg, Beth McCarville, Susan C. Kaste, Sheri L. Spunt, Fariba Navid, Andrew M. Davidoff, Larry E. Kun and Thomas E. Merchant, all of St. Jude; Lijun Zhang, formerly of St. Jude and currently at Dana Farber Cancer Center, Boston; and Fredric A. Hoffer, formerly of St. Jude and now at Children's Hospital & Regional Medical Center, Seattle.

Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Excise Commissioner Rishiraj Singh who is not new to controversies stoke another one by stating that staring "annoyingly" at a woman for 14 seconds can land a man in jail.
Singh was at an event organised by a charitable trust in Kochi, where he was talking about women's safety. "There are sections in law to jail a man for annoyingly staring at a woman for 14 seconds. Please use it (the provisions in the law), if it is the case."
Kerala Sports Minister E P Jayarajan termed Singh's bizarre statement as "irritating".
"The remarks are irritating. If a bureaucrat makes remarks which are not in law, certainly the minister concerned will examine it and necessary steps will be taken," he told reporters.
Singh's word does not seem to have gone down well and drew varied reactions on social media.

NAIROBI, Kenya — Predictions are a mug's game but this one, from veteran Sudanese politician-cum-troublemaker Hassan al-Turabi, might be on the money.
This Reuters article quotes the predictions of the Islamist head of the opposition Popular Congress Party:
"I expect the Sudanese people to stage a revolution and I think this will happen very soon," said Turabi. ...
"I hope it will be a peaceful revolution so we can get a real multi-party parliamentary system," he told reporters.
President Omar al-Bashir is facing an increasingly coordinated armed rebellion along the southern border and is president over a faltering economy and an increasingly restive population in Khartoum.
His time may be coming.

Seacret Reviews – The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Jessica here. First off this ain't your average Seacret Review.
Let's face it, you didn't come here for average.
You want to cut through the crap and get to the truth.
Well I've got dirt!
I happen to be a successul Seacret Agent. But I hold nothing back in this review.
I'm going to give it to you straight.
So strap in.
The Lowdown
Seacret Direct is a beauty and skincare company with a product line that revolves around mineral rich salts and mud from the Dead Sea in Israel.
These guys basically found a way to bottle the "Fountain Of Youth"
The product rights were acquired in 2005 and the company was born.
If you've ever walked through a mall then chances are good you have felt the wrath of the Seacret Kiosk Ninjas.
These people have mastered the art of getting your attention and making sure you leave the mall with their products in hand.
More recently the company has adopted the Network Marketing/Direct Sales model to their already booming business.
Seems to be paying off as they recently surpassed the $1 Billion total sales mark.
Say it with me…
Cha Ching!
The company was founded by brothers Izhak Ben Shabat and Moty Ben Shabat.
Who'd a thunk a couple a renegade Israeli brothers could escape the toil of their war torn homeland to come to America and build a skin care behemoth like they have?
From selling toy helicopters in mall kiosks…
and driving ice cream trucks in Houston, Texas…
these two have come a long way to now be partnered with an industry heavy weight like L'Oreal in the multi billion dollar skin care industry.
It's an epic story and an amazing example of the American Dream at work!
Every time I ask someone about the Ben Shabat's the words I constantly hear back are "Humble", "Gracious", "Savvy", and "Kind".
Let me start off by saying the Seacret Product Line is vast and there's no way I can cover it all here.
But let me wet your appetite with an overview of the line:
- Facial Solutions: Cost $14.95-$249.95, face washes, lotions, masks, daily use skin care, great for all skin types, pricier than over the counter skin care, lot's of selection…maybe too many.
- Body Solutions: Cost $14.95-$49.95, daily use body care for all skin types, salt scrubs, body butter, mineral soap, nail care, by far one of the most relaxing and my personal favourite product line.
- Age-Defying Solutions: Cost $249.95-$349.95, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, tighten skin, this stuff is botox in a box without the needles, the most expensive products Seacret offers but dramatic results are common and impressive.
In my experience the product line although not cheap is incredibly high in quality.
The Age-Defying line definitely delivers the most wow factor and instant results. Although the Facial Solutions offers an overwhelming variety of products, there really is an option for EVERY type of skin.
The Body Solutions line is definitely the most relaxing and enjoyable that truly brings the spa experience to a bathroom near you.

Compensation Plan
So you want to make bank huh?
Cool, you can!
If you decide to become an Agent and be eligible to earn an income there are no on going monthly fees to pay over and above your start up and yearly renewal fee of $49.
You will however need to remain active in order to keep the checks coming.
To be active you need to have $49 of personal autoship OR roughly $260 in total customer volume.
The Seacret Direct compensation plan is a binary plan with a bit of a twist.
Like all compensation plans there are pros and cons to a Binary plan.
I'll hit you with some knowledge on the pros and cons and the rest of the dirty details in my Seacret Direct Compensation Plan video here.
There are 5 ways to earn:
- Product Sales
- Preferred Customer Program
- Team Commissions
- Leadership Check Match Program
- Performance Bonuses
It's a fair plan with some really fun incentives.
- High quality products that offer compelling instant results that have already been proven and selling incredibly well in the market place for years.
- An inexpensive way to generate income from home and enjoy business tax savings.
- A fantastic corporate leadership team that treats Agents like family.
- Solid 8 year track record.
- Financial stability and an impressive partnership with L'Oreal.
- Large opportunity for international growth with sights set on lucrative Asian markets.
- Lucrative compensation with fun incentives.
- High quality products are on the pricier side compared to some products in the market place
- Marketing materials and business system for Agents still needs to have kinks ironed out
- Compensation plan although lucrative can be convoluted and tough for new people to understand
- Product line is huge and may offer too many choices for the consumer
- The failure rate of new Agents will no doubt be high as it is in every company like this
All In All
Now through out this review I've tried to give you the goods and the dirt.
Even though my opinion comes with a bias as I am an Agent I feel like I've been as objective as possible based on my experiences and research.
Here's the deal.
If you use Seacret skin care products consistently and as instructed "you gon look good!!!"
The products flat out work and make you look and feel younger.
Want to stack chips with Seacret as an opportunity?
Hold on. Scud missile of truth coming right at you.
95% of people who join will NEVER make the money they want to make.
Bottom line.
They are building the business with methods that our slow, painfully awkward and seem down right stupid once you know better.
Seacret Direct trains it's agents to:
- Make a list of friends and family.
- Do 3 way calls with their upline.
- Host Wow/Home parties.
Can some of these strategies work?
Sure, I made six figures a year doing these things.
But they are painstakingly slow and soul sucking.
…Banking on old aunt Rose to saddle up and become a recruiting machine is insanity.
…Going to boring evening networking events only to be pitched by 10 other hyenas is a waste of time.
…Thinking of how you're going to prospect your server every time you go out to eat is moronic.
Know why people won't join someone who uses the tactics above?
Because WHO would want to emulate that garbage?
Building a business with Seacret doesn't have to be that painful.
I show people how to build a real business, have a life and keep their soul.
I teach people how to identify their Hungry Target Market (HTM).
This is a huge market of people who ALREADY want to buy Seacret products and join the business.
Once you discover your HTM I'll teach you how to build an endless list of leads and even show you how to have them blowing up your phone.
Now what do you think sounds more fun and effective:
Trying to twist creepy uncle Jims arm to come to your Wow Party?
Or leveraging the internet to market to the massive group of people with credit cards in hand already looking to buy?
Uhhh no brainer. Sorry Uncle Jim.
Now don't get me wrong, there's still work involved.
Don't become an Agent if you're just looking for an easy way to make a little cash.
Use the products, look like a million bucks, and hit the casino (you'll have more fun).
If you join do it because you're serious about creating a real business either part time or eventually full time.
Let's Rock And Roll
That sound like you?
If not that's cool, go here instead and get yourself all perdy.
But if you're ready to go to work for your dreams then you need to pick someone to lock arms with.
With an admitantly heavy bias your best option for a sponsor is me!
Seriously though…it is.
Because signing up with someone who can't offer you value…
…or a competitive advantage puts you on the same playing field with 95% of other Agents in the company.
You may be thinking "ok that makes sense, so whatchu got that others don't Jess?"
Well, to start I'm a blogger. A good one.
I know how to make the internet yield to me.
I can generate leads online with my eyes closed.
I can then feed my team with these leads or teach them how to fish online themselves.
The best part of mastering the art of ancient internet sorcery is that my system allows me to makes sales:
…without having to run around town doing home parties
…without trying to try to twist my friends and families arms to buy
…without having get on the phone with unqualified people who don't want to talk to me
I can cater strictly to people already looking for me who want to buy.
I rank my content and videos and leads flow to me 24 hrs a day seven days a week.
Easy peasy.
Pass me a Corona and I'll show you exactly how you can do this too.
I also have the offline skills that thrill and have built successfully there as well.
If you're one of the crazy ones who's into that…
I can show you how I broke into the top 1% of the Direct Sales industry with those skills too.
Big fat BUT…
I love my free time and family too much to work with everyone.
My time is spent with people who are committed, serious, and fun to work with.
If you want to rock and roll:
Lets Rock!
Your Seacret Weapon,

Steps are set to be taken to improve safety on a Bradford road where three pedestrians have been killed since 2010.
Manningham Lane is one of five roads in the Bradford West area where priority action is said to be needed to reduce deaths and serious injuries.
The three pedestrians who died were: * Iris Moss, 68, who was hit by a car in June, 2010. The male driver was later jailed for a year for causing death while driving without insurance; * Norman Cowen, 50, who was struck by a speeding car in January last year. The car driver was later given a suspended six-month jail sentence for causing death by careless driving; * Steven Ley, 56, who was in an accident with a silver Volkswagen Polo last November.
In addition, between 2009 and 2013, there were two crashes in which people were badly injured and 33 accidents in which people suffered slight injuries.
Bradford West Area Committee will this week be asked to approve spending £30,000 on traffic management measures in Manningham Lane, between the junctions of Grosvenor Road and Bowland Street. The plan is part of a £142,500 package of road safety work proposed for the west of the city.
The other four priorities are: l Installing a double mini roundabout at a cost of £17,500 at the junction of Allerton Road and Bullroyd Lane. There have been two serious accidents and five where people have received slight injuries in the last five years l Providing a pedestrian refuge and improvements to Give Way signs at a cost of £10,000 at the Summerville Road and Woodhead Road junction following two serious accidents and three where people received slight injuries l Carrying out traffic calming at a cost of £35,000 at Stoney Ridge Road, following one serious accident and 15 where people suffered slight injuries l And a lane closure, turning area and mini roundabout at the Daisy Hill, Crow Tree Lane and Pearson Lane junction, at a cost of £50,000, following 22 accidents resulting in slight injuries.
In addition a total of £42,000 is expected to be spent on traffic management schemes in Bradford West, including traffic regulation orders, access measures and disabled parking spaces.
Funding for all the schemes comes from Bradford's share of the West Yorkshire Integrated Transport Authority funding to implement the local transport plan. This year 70 per cent of the funding must be spent on casualty reduction schemes, identified using data on the number and type of accidents. As a result, Bradford West has a budget of £203,000 for 2014/15, with £142,100 for casualty reduction and £60,900 for other community priority schemes.
Mike Cowlam, Bradford Council's interim strategic director for regeneration and culture, states in a report to the area committee: "It has been acknowledged at a West Yorkshire level that there needs to be a re-focus on casualty reduction in order to meet the Killed or Seriously Injured (KSI) reduction target within the Local Transport Plan.
"There is has been determined that the next three year implementation plan will introduce an evidence-based approach to prioritise a significant proportion of the budget available for traffic management measures to address those sites where it is expected that highways improvements will improve safety and reduce casualties."
The report will be discussed at the area committee meeting being held on Wednesday at 6pm at Bradford City Hall.

WASHINGTON (Mar. 5)
Flexing its muscle in a battle to win $10 billion in U.S.-guaranteed loans for Israel, a powerful Jewish umbrella group accused the Bush administration Thursday of proposing conditions on the Jewish state that are not applied to other countries seeking similar assistance.
The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations said Secretary of State James Baker had "misstated the history of U.S. loan guarantees to foreign lands" when he told lawmakers Tuesday "the United States conditions its economic and military assistance to countries when we give them that assistance."
According to Shoshana Cardin, chairman of the Conference of Presidents, "only in the case of Israel has the administration insisted on demanding a political requirement as the price of its approval" for such aid.
She said that last year, Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia and Yemen had received a total of $3 billion in credits through the Export-Import Bank and that "none of these loan guarantees were tied to political conditions."
And during the past five years, she said, the United States has "unconditionally guaranteed more than $12 billion in loans to Arab countries, irrespective of the policies of the governments involved."
At a Senate appropriations subcommittee hearing Thursday, Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) pressed Baker on why the United States had placed no political conditions on that $12 billion in loans.
"Senator, I don't know, because I don't know what guarantees you're talking about," the secretary of state replied. "I'll be glad if you give me the list of guarantees; then I'll send you an answer for the record," he added.
But it was Baker's testimony to a congressional panel last week that set off the sharp reaction from the Conference of Presidents, which represents 48 major American Jewish groups.
Baker announced that the Bush administration would only be willing to guarantee $10 billion in loans for Israel if it agreed to halt all construction in the administered territories.
The United States would be willing to guarantee less than that amount, he said, if Israel stopped all new construction and only completed building projects already begun.
Israel plans to use the loans to help absorb up to 1 million immigrants expected to arrive by 1995. While the Bush administration has committed itself in principle to assisting in this humanitarian cause, Baker basically told lawmakers the amount of loans Israel gets depends on the amount of money it spends on West Bank settlements.
The Conference of Presidents held a closed-door meeting Thursday with one of Baker's chief aides to express dissatisfaction with that stance and with hints this week that the secretary might even toughen it with new conditions.
The meeting with Dennis Ross, director of the State Department's policy planning staff, was described as a friendly but intense exchange.
The Jewish leaders were said to have expressed concern about the administration's willingness to reach an agreement on the loan guarantees and the implications that would have on both U.S.-Israeli relations and the Middle East peace talks.
Key members of the Senate subcommittee that controls foreign appropriations have been meeting throughout the week with Baker to try to reach agreement on a loan guarantees package. They want to achieve a deal soon so that the guarantees can be included in the foreign aid bill that Congress must adopt by March 31.
But on Thursday, Sen. Robert Kasten (R-Wis.), the ranking Republican on the subcommittee, told reporters that the two sides are still far apart.
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), the subcommittee chairman, has proposed that Congress approve the guarantees now and give the Bush administration the discretion to work out the timing and terms under which they will be released.
Kasten, who favors extending the guarantees to Israel with no strings attached, is reportedly willing to give the administration that discretion but only after the first installment of guarantees for $2 billion is released. Israel has asked that the $10 billion in guarantees be spread over five years.
But Baker is said to be hanging tough on retaining full discretion.
Leahy and Kasten were hoping to bridge their differences with Baker before he departs this weekend for a meeting in Belgium of the North Atlantic Council.
That way, Leahy can convene his subcommittee next week to begin moving the foreign aid bill through the legislative cycle.
Kasten told reporters he expects the bill to reach the Senate floor in such a way that it can ultimately be sent to Bush by the March 31 deadline.
While Kasten was making that comment on the street outside a Senate office building, Baker suddenly appeared in front of him and gave the startled senator a big bear hug.
Kasten smiled and said they would be talking to each other soon.

Thirty-four organizations from across the Bay watershed have received more than $2.1 million from the Bay Program and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation for projects that will protect 3,400 acres of land, restore approximately 15 miles of streams and plant more than 160 acres of marsh and wetland grasses.
The funding was awarded through the Chesapeake Bay Small Watershed Grants Program, which provides grants to organizations and municipal governments working to improve the condition of their local watershed.
The 2008 Small Watershed Grants were announced at Tyler Elementary School in Washington, D.C., which will benefit from a $50,000 grant to install a 13,000-square-foot rain garden on its grounds. The rain garden will filter polluted runoff, integrate watershed education into school studies and provide a model of low-impact development techniques for other urban schools.
Also featured at the event was D.C. Greenworks, which received a $75,000 grant to work with the District Department of the Environment to develop a green roof subsidy and incentive program to increase the number of green roofs in the District of Columbia. The project will develop a green roof toolkit to educate homeowners and businesses about the benefits and financing of green roofs.
At last year's Executive Council meeting, the District of Columbia agreed to champion green development by promoting the use of green roofs, urban trees and other green infrastructure to reduce polluted runoff. D.C. Department of the Environment Director George Hawkins participated in the grant announcement and spoke of the value of the D.C. projects to the city and health of the Chesapeake Bay and its local waterways.
Other 2008 Small Watershed Grant recipients include:
- The Friends of Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge will release sterilized, radio-collared rodents named nutria to allow scientists to track and eradicate invasive nutria populations on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
- The Henrico County (Va.) Soil & Water Conservation District will provide 2,500 county residents with soil test vouchers to promote proper fertilizing and reduce nutrient runoff to the James River.
- The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay will hold a biofuels summit to develop a strategy that integrates water quality concerns into developing the Chesapeake region's biofuel industry.
View the full list or a map of 2008 Small Watershed Grant projects.
Since 1998, the Small Watershed Grants program has provided $20.8 million to support 555 projects. These grants have been used to leverage an additional $65.4 million from other funding sources, resulting in more than $86.2 million being invested in watershed restoration efforts.

Last month, our own resident Apple Geek, Christian Ziberg, posited that Neofonie's actually-quite-impressive-looking WePad tablet was playing a game of chicken with Cupertino in their choice of brand name.
Steve Jobs, after all, has claimed that Apple owns the "Pad" trademark. They don't (at all!) but they'd still have a successful lawsuit on their hands: the WePad's name is confusing to customers, since both brand names distill down to a "personal pronoun + the word 'Pad'" formula.
Brand confusion was clearly Neofonie's intention in christening their tablet the "WePad…" but it looks like they've thought better of it. According to the company's Facebook fan page, Neofonie have renamed the WePad to WeTab, although all other features remain the same. Good choice, guys: you don't want to fight a legal battle with Apple, and your tablet appears good enough to stand on its own merits.
While Neofonie was at it, they've also announced pricing. The 16GB WiFi-only model will cost at €449 ($573) while the 32GB version (which has WiFi, 3G, GPS and 1080p out via HDMI) will cost €569 ($726), with deliveries to start in June. That's actually very competitive with the iPad's pricing in Europe. The WeTab's looking like a good bet for Apple-hating, would-be tablet owners.

This makes an extra quart of cooked beans. Save (or freeze) for another batch of escarole, or serve them simply warmed in their broth. This recipe is from Palizzi Social Club in Philadelphia, PA.
Lightly browning the beans and aromatics for a few minutes before you add the tomatoes gives a lot of depth of flavor to the sauce.
This white chili recipe works well with ground chicken or turkey, too.
The weeknight, veggie-heavy, nothing-in-the-house-to-eat dinner. Top with a fried egg if you're feeling peckish.
This toasted spelt soup with escarole and white beans was inspired by the classic Italian pasta and bean stew. Unlike macaroni, the grains stay nice and chewy, even when reheated days later.
You have a can of beans? You've got a meal. In this kale soup recipe, they take the place of traditional dried beans.
If you like bold, assertive flavors—like broccoli rabe and lemon—this rustic white bean side dish is the recipe for you. Try it with roast chicken or pork tenderloin.
To prevent the pasta from getting too soft, we cook it separately and toss it with olive oil and chopped parsley, then spoon it into each bowl of soup.

Andrea Huspeni of Entrepreneur.com reports, "The internet has been around for decades, but many mom-and-pop shops continue to drag their feet when it comes to creating an online presence. To help, there's Locu, a service that allows companies to create a digital footprint through self-service tools. Four Massachusetts Institute of Technology students — working out of a lab put on by Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web — founded the site in 2011. Locu has managed to get 30,000 businesses to sign up for it service, by providing an easy-to-use dashboard for small business marketing materials. So it allows companies to update online content like menus and pricing lists. The company works on a freemium model, offering some of its basic services for free, with additional benefits costing $25 a month."
Huspeni continues, "Locu's ability to scale and generate revenue helped the startup catch the attention of Scottsdale, Ariz.-based GoDaddy. In October the domain and web-hosting giant snatched up Locu for a reported $70 million. We think this is pretty impressive. So for the month of November, Locu is officially Entrepreneur's Startup of the Month. With that comes bragging rights for life, naturally… We chatted with co-founder Rene Reinsberg about motivation, getting acquired, challenges and advice."

Hyundai Santa Fe Maintenance and Repair (2006 and earlier)
Due to normal operation or was there a problem?
What was replaced? Just the pads?
I owned the 03/2.7/4WD and at 27,500 I needed the front pads replaced. I thought that was too soon and the answer I got was the Santa Fe is real hard on the Front brakes. Yeah, didnt buy it either...Cost: $ 110.00, it included labor, pads and having the rotors cut.
wagkat Posts: 2When i turn on the AC all the lights come on and i can't steer. what is the issue
I sometimes hear a noise ( more like a squeal ) when I back up. This only happens when it rains or conditions are wet. The pads were replaced and the rotors resurfaced. The dealership claimed it was normal.
Well mine doesn't do it, so I would not class it as normal. As it is only when it is wet, could it just be fan belt squeal?
It comes from the rear, only when I back up. The squeal only occurs when it rains or there is a lot of dew and it only last one or two applications of the brakes.
That transient squeal from the brakes, particularly in reverse is normal. It's classically heard when the brake pads are moist. If you drive through water you may get the noise until the pads dry out (usually after a few applications of the brake). I've experienced the same phenomena in several different cars over the years. Brake pad dust can make it worse, so if it bothers you, you can always bring it in and have them clean the pads.
As long as it doesn't persist all the time, I wouldn't worry about it.
vegito1971 Posts: 24I finally got around to taking my 2006 Santa Fe to another dealership that seems reputable today. Unfortunately I had to go 50+ miles to get there. BUT they did at least take time to investigate the problem whereas the other took the "prove it's still broke" attitude with me.
Ironically the Service Manager at the "new" dealership was able to duplicate the problem with the lumbar collapsing within about 10 minutes and 0 miles. What a shocker! Finally someone can vouch for my claim and I am no longer a "liar". Now he has gone back to Hyundai Corporate and is awaiting a response.
The previous dealership had the thing 4 separate times and claims to have not been able to duplicate the problem. What incompetence!
On a related note I received a call from Hyundai Customer Service for a follow-up Satisfaction Survey for round 4 at the previous dealership. They asked me to rate the dealership in several categories on a 1 to 10 scale with 10 being the best. On the first question I asked if 0 or negatives were allowed. Unfortunately 1 was the lowest the surveyor replied while laughing. So I made it pretty easy on him and said "give 'em 1's across the board". At first he thought I was kidding as he laughed but I cleared that up (LOL). Then we had a nice little 15 minute chat, elaborating on the issues. He ended by asking what this dealership could do to improve their rating in the future? My response "close up shop" and for Hyundai to revoke their license. He really got a kick out of that one.
Perhaps Hyundai might yet be able to salvage faith from me in their service and products. Only time will tell though.
Its sad you had to go so far to get any support. I am glad you found a dealer that would help. Good luck...
My 2003 santa fe is sporadically dying. It is a 4 cylinder, FWD base model. It has 46,000 miles on it. Last week my wife was driving the vehicle and when she went to start from a red light the car just dies. No sputter, no check engine light, just instantly died as if she had turned the key off. Slipped it into neutral and cranked right up and ran fine for the next week. Yesterday the same exact thing happens, but while she is driving a steady speed of 40. Just dies, no sputter, no light, nothing. Slipped into neutral started fine and ran fine. Today while stopping at a stop sign same thing. If its a module it would seem it would throw an engine light. If its a fuel filter issue it would sputter as the motor will still try to fire from the gas in the lines ahead of the filter and will sputter on fumes. Ignition is the only thing that comes to mind, but I am seeking your opinions here. Its going to the dealer next week but just thought I would try to figure it out as its not really that safe to drive when it randomly dies.
Thanks alot in advance ya'll.
Wow. Had the same exact issue on my 03 but it happened with less than 10k miles. Man, was I upset. Had roadside assistance tow it back to the dealer. Turned out to be a bad crank sensor if I remember correctly. Otherwise a good truck. Turned it in for the 07 Limited. Never looked back.
I had a friend who had the same problem, but his turned out to be that he was dancing to his Celine Dion CD too hard in the car and was hitting the ignition key with his knee! :shades:
discipleguy Posts: 3I have a 2001 SF V6. I just put 100,000 miles on it. I have never changed my spark plugs, timing belt or pretty much anything else. It runs and starts very well. I still average around 23/24 MPG. Should I go ahead and replace the belts and spark plugs even though I'm getting good performance (we all know it costs an arm and a leg to change plugs on this SUV)? It's not a timing chain so will it hurt the engine if it breaks while driving? I have always changed oil, rotated tires, done alignments, and air filters on a regular basis. What preventative stuff should I absolutely do at this point? Your professional advice/opinions are greatly appreciated. I LOVE this vehicle. It has been such a dependable and comfortable ride. Praise God.
It will definitely be cheaper to change the timing belt BEFORE it snaps. Personally, if they've not been changed, I would change everything you mention now, but at the very least I would get the belt done.
flaham Posts: 1This is my first post but I have a question that I haven't seen anywhere. My 2003 Santa Fe "shrugs" when I brake--although it doesn't seem to happen as much if I stop either angled down or up. 76,00 miles (we camp frequently) and this is the only problem we have had. I LOVE this vehicle!! Previous car was a GMC Safari but with two new knees it was difficult to climb up. Now I just slide in. Anyone have any ideas as to what is causing the "shrug"?
A shrug or more commonly called a wave. One or more of the rotors have begun to wear unevenly. Have them looked at. If you have kept up with the brakes a simple cut and new pads by a trained mechanic will solve the problem.
mycgilligan Posts: 10Does anyone have experience with getting Santa Fe body parts repaired after a wreck? I have a 2007 Santa Fe Limited with the premium package and had it for just 4 weeks when last week I was hit by a Harley!! He got me in the drivers side in front of the front tire. So it looks like I'll need to replace the entire front end piece, head light, hood, and piece over the tire:(( The head light actually still works! Police report isn't in yet, so no info from insurance company until probably next week, but just thought I would ask for info/advice. Have never had a wreck or been involved in one, ( and I'm 43), so I'm not sure what to expect. Do I need Hyundai parts to keep the warranty intact? I know that I would rather have the real thing. Do I have to take it to a Hyundai dealer collision center or can I go to a private body shop? Should I contact Hyundai? And if so, who and how? Luckily, only the Harley guy was hurt, but not bad--just scrapes and bruises. :sick:
0patience Oregon CoastPosts: 1,591Do I need Hyundai parts to keep the warranty intact?
You probably won't have a choice, there aren't much in the way of aftermarket body parts available yet for the model year 2007s. As for the question about the warranty and aftermarket parts........Yes, they can refuse to honor any body warranty in regards to the replaced parts if you use aftermarktet parts.
Do I have to take it to a Hyundai dealer collision center or can I go to a private body shop?
You can take your vehicle to any shop to have the work done, but in my opinion, you will be far better off at the dealer for this new a vehicle.
Should I contact Hyundai? And if so, who and how?
Hyundai's customer service is quite good and they may be able to provide you some information regarding your vheicle and its repairs. You don't have to contact Hyundai at all.
Understand that because your vehicle's model year is the current one and your warranty is still intact, you should do what ever possible to utilize OEM parts and keep your warranty intact.
If your vehicle were 5 years old or older, then I would say it would be up to you as to whether you wanted to use aftermarket or OEM parts.
Realize that as far as parts fit and look, OEM replacements are usually far better than aftermarket.
Hope this helps.
lucky15 Posts: 72I just purchased my Sante Fe 6 days ago and I have noticed several squeaks and rattles, when I test drove it I was on smooth interstate highway most of the time and I did not notice any noises but driving on city streets brings out all of the imperfections in assembly, I have not read of anyone else having this problem, am I the only one and if not was the dealer helpful in finding them. I traded in my wifes 93 Lexus on it and her car being 14 years old didn`t have one squeak or rattle in it, but it did have a few other problems, maybe I should have stayed with Lexus.
Odd...I have driven over some pretty bumpy roads and the 2007 SF is VERY quiet. This is the first report of noises.
Granted, mine only has about 1100 miles (mostly city on not so good roads)but the only noise I have heard is the pass seatbelt hitting the pillar when no one in is sitting in the seat,
When testing a vehicle I do a pretty good one on the one I am thinking of...it FIRST goes on a very bumpy road, then a curvy one, and lastly the hwy.
I would talk to the dealer and he should be able to find and repair them...BTW: do check the fastening of your spare tire mount.....IMHO Lexus is a good vehicle but way over priced for a Toyota,,,in fact so is Toyota for a Toyota.:}
It seems like dealer cooperation is a really BiG factor with this manufacturer...(so was my Mini cooper...one dealer was great ....the next terrible.)
The price is what originally attracted me to the SF.
No matter what you buy these days, it seems as though there are more lemons and less attention to detail than the older cars.
I have a 2007 gls Santa fe auto with 2500 miles. The car is pretty good it rides and handles great. My problem has been excessive tire noise or the drive train. The tires have been balanced and checked by the dealer and the Hyundia field rep they say the noise is normal and does'nt need a repair. I also have a clicking noise in the front when I first start off or go from fwd to rev. Dealer says I have to wait till the noise gets worst??? Has anyone else had these issues.
Suggest you get their diagnossis and recommendation in writing...specifically.."wait until it get worse"...sheese...and on a new car too! I would complain to Hyundai cust service about that one and go on record there too!
Yep. Thought it was the cold but I hear it constantly from forward or reverse just when you start off. Thought I was too hard on it so I started to go easy but I still hear the click but only when I start out. Does not seem to be a performance issue but its worth mentioning to the shop and have it on record.
Limited AWD w/ 6700 miles.
Still sounds like a defect of some sort...It is cold here too and was really cold in the beginning of Feb when i bought it.... and I have not heard any clicks or noises from My AWD 2007 SE.
I start it...let it run for 20 seconds or so and then put into reverse...so far...all is normal. IN FACT IT IS very QUIET. fORGET THE PERFORMANCE THING...YOU DID NOT PAY FOR CLICKS AND DO NOT WANT THEM! imho
BTW: have them check your tie rods...just a guess.
Geez, I hope we have not bought a 1st year "in the shop mobile" However, we must remember that most forums tend to attract people with trouble and HOPEFULLY the new SF is solid stable ride...I am not in the mood to be getting another auto so soon and as we know these get killed the first few years...worse than the others.
Heck, gas is going up so fast, my driving habits are changing anyway.....my milage is about 15 city and 23 hwy...normal for an SUV I guess.
One thing that attracted me was the roadside assistance program as well...
Funny when researching before I bought...all was great...Now I am becoming a bit nervous about my purchase. THIS FORUM IS A GREAT ONE!
rick2456 Posts: 320I have noticed the tire noise also. It changes depending on the type of pavement you are on. I think it is more a trait associated with the bridgestone tire. It is not that loud, but is noticeable. I will definitely not put the same tires on it when I replace them. If you find out anything different, please let us know. Thanks.
Hi all,
Thanks for the feedback. The tire noise does depend on the pavement type old rough pavement is the loudest. but in New Hampshire thats all we have. I even had the air in the tires replaced with put nitrogen. That did make the tire feel better on the road but it didn't change the noise level. The clicking sounds like its in the axles or transmission and only happens when you first start off in forward or reverse. I already have a call into the hyundai rep in New Jersey. It seems that the dealers are poorly trained and dont have a good communications with Hyundai.
Well, The 2003 santa is still sporadically dying. The dealership however says that it needs to be verifiable. It hasnt died for them and they gave it back to us. 10 Fu#$(*g minutes later it died. We return and they keep it for a week still nothing so we are getting it back. Damn this warranty. Do you guys know if this is Hyundai's policy, or just a dealer policy. Pelican, you seem to be the adjunct forum admin what do you think?
Hi bkirk1,
Is the clicking sound you are describing a repetitive clicking (click-click-click-click.....) that continues as you drive or does it just happen once each time you start driving?
The electronically controlled braking system in the 2007 Santa Fe's goes through a self-diagnostics each time you turn on the ignition and start driving, usually at about 10 to 15 mph. It will momentarily pulse the brakes, which can be heard as a soft click or thump coming from under the car. I can easily hear it if I actively listen for it. Otherwise you might not notice it. This is normal.
2007 Santa Fe AWD Limited with Premium and Touring packages
Dark Cherry Red with beige leather interior
The clicking seems to be the cv joints. I will bet a weeks salary on it. I have the shop looking at it Sat. Will update when I know more...
I understand how frustrated you must be. I traded in my 03 for the 07 and we had a similar issue. While driving it would just cut out. Had it towed back to the dealer only for it to start right up when they tried. After several trips they discovered it was a crank sensor I think. Unfortunately they cant fix what isnt broken at the time. They must justify the parts they replace or they will NOT be compensated for the parts and labor. The dealer has to put some effort into the diagnosis. In my case when they kept it they used it quite often. 122 miles to be exact but it did fail and they had to get it towed back. hahahah. How does it feel. It sounds like your dealer isnt making an honest effort to fix it. If you have another dealer within a reasonable distance from home I would give them a crack at it. Keep us posted. Good luck...

Barack Obama is Home and Dry, for Sure
By M G Singh, 1st Mar 2012 | Follow this author

Posted in WikinutNewsPolitics
President is standing for re-election. there is more than an even chance that he will win
Obama and his second Term
The US presidential election is due in 2012. Without doubt this is the most imortant election in the world, as the man os becomes the president of the USA will preside over the globe as a power broker. The United States is the most powerful nation with global reach. It also controls the monetary regime of the world and the dollar is the world standard for trade and commerce. The US President sits over the globe like Atlas.
President Obama is standing for re-election. It will be his second term if he is re-elected. After the 22nd amendment, the US Congress has limited a American to only 2 consecutive terms as president. Thus Obama who has already completed one term can run only for another term. Either he wins and becomes president for another term or he becomes a one term president and goes into history accordingly. Generally it has been seen that the incumbent president has more than a positive chance of getting a seconfd term. Thus Obama will enter the race with an advantage. In the last 65 years only 2 presidents failed to get elected for a second term. Thus the odds are stacked in Obama's favor.
One other factor going in favor of Obama is the weak candidates opposing him. Without going in for names and personalities, its safe to say that they lack the charisma and appeal of Obama. His opponents are resorting to personal attacks. Some have even labled him a communist out to destroy America. Nothing could be further from the truth. Obama is working hard on the economy and he has processed a subtle shift in foreign polcy. There is thus reason to surmise that Obama will be home and dry to don the mantle of the US president for another term.

A Northern Ireland security company is urging business owners to make security top of the their new year's resolution lists following a recent court ruling in England which saw an alarm company found
negligent in the case a fire which devastated Weston–super-Mare's pier pavilion in 2008.
Lisburn-based Mercury Security Management Ltd, Northern Ireland's biggest independent security company is warning business owners to ensure that their alarm systems and processes are fit for purpose before it is too late.
"We would urge business owners to make no compromise when it comes to ensuring your security system is water tight at all times and in the hands of a reputable firm," said Mercury Security Director Liam Cullen.
"Only last week, a security firm in England was deemed negligent over a fire which caused almost £40M of damage to the Weston-super-Mare pier when, due to a number of basic errors, the alarm went off at 01.35 but the fire authorities were not alerted until almost 07.00.
"By this stage, it was of course too late and although an interim compensation payment of £30M has been awarded, this cannot replace the loss suffered by the owners of the pier, which has been in existence for more than 100 years," added Mr Cullen.
"A lot of people think that once they have an alarm in place, this is the answer to their problems but it is really only the first step of a process which needs to leave no room for error. Every business and property owner should now look closely at who is doing their monitoring.
"We have found an increasing demand from clients for cost effective bespoke solutions for alarm systems that are monitored 24 hours a day by our NSI Gold Accredited ARC/RVRC monitoring centre.
"Once the alarm is triggered in relation to fire or intrusion we contact the owners and the relevant emergency services to respond to your property immediately. We can also send our highly
accredited Mercury mobile division to the property directly.
"We know that times are tough at the moment and many businesses have to make cuts to survive but we would urge companies not to cut any corners when it comes to the vital issue of security."
Weston-super-Mare pier first opened in 1904 and after the fire was rebuilt and reopened in October 2010.
Mercury Security Management Ltd provides bespoke stand alone and integrated security solutions to clients across a number of sectors including retail, finance, government and residential,
Founded in 2001, Mercury operates out of offices in Lisburn, London and the Republic of Ireland and offers a wide range of services including Installation and monitoring of electronic security systems, remote
CCTV monitoring, manned guarding, concierge services, key-holding with alarm response, satellite- tracked mobile patrols, staff and vehicle escort services, lone worker monitoring, vehicle and asset
tracking, approved and accredited training.

USB Warming Gloves
Relief From Old Building Syndrome: USB Gloves
If your office building is old (like mine), and you are nowhere near those old-school radiator heaters that line the walls (like me), and the windows are not exactly "double-paned" to keep the heat in (you know it), there's a good chance you will be f-f-f-freezing come Winter. So what can you do, other than huddle by the heat of your desktop? Get some USB Heated Gloves, that's what.
The good part about these USB gloves is the open fingers that will still allow you to type up that TPS report in no time, since there's no fabric hindering your keystrokes.
Plus, you can heat each one individually (you know, in case your right hand is colder than your left) and connect them to your PS2 and Xbox 360 for toasty, warm gaming. And for only $25 bucks, they may even make a funny stocking stuffer for the zombie-handed female in your life! You know who I mean.
Oh, and for using your iPhone in the cold weather? Well, that's when you pick up a pair of these classy gloves.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Thanks for your question.
Hope you are doing well.
Do you have neck stiffness?
History of trauma to finger?
Have you undergone any investigations so far?
History of Arthritis?
Are you taking any medicines?
Do you have swelling in wrist?
Numbness and tingling sensation in arm,finger?
Hi. I will answer your questions in the order you asked them
1. I do have neck stiffness. I have disc buldges in my neck, one rather large. this was found 3-4 yrs ago when I was having severe pain in my right shoulder and numbness in my fingers. Saw a spine/neuro surgeon. Prescribed therapy. I have done two rounds of therapy
2. No trauma to fingers. My line of work for the past 6 yrs was warehouse....opening boxes, tieing knots, computer work but not for long periods of time. Repetitive work....I quit my job in Aug of last year, hoping that would be the end of my hand problems. Both of my surgeries were during that time.
3. No. Have not investigated further. When this was hurting during the night, I had decided I would call my dr first thing this morning. Since I've been up, I thought i'd wait till next week. Just to see what the day brings.
4. I assume I have arthritus. I have joint pain in other areas...mainly in both knees
5. As for meds, I've been taking Loratadine 10mg and Fluticasone nasal spray for maybe 3 mos. My condition is much improved so I haven't taken any this week. Occasional Ambien That's it.
6. No swelling in wrist. The finger that is hurting is a little puffy.
7. I have had tingling/numbness in my hands for a long time. This is an every night occurance.
Can all of this be tied to my disc bulges?
Hi,Thanks for providing more information.
As per your description,as you have pain in neck,wrist,ring finger so possible differential diagnosis may include Cervical spondylosis,Carpal tunnel syndrome,Tendonitis.
So you should make an appointment with your Orthopedist.
In the meantime you should take OTC Advil.
Also wear wrist splint at night.
Avoid bending at elbow.
Soak your fingers in warm water for 10 minutes twice a day for next 3-5 days.
Take proper rest.
Avoid computer use for prolonged hours.
Avoid activities that require you to keep your arm bent for long periods of time.Avoid leaning on your elbow or putting pressure on the inside of your arm.
Keep your elbow straight at night when you are sleeping. This can be done by wrapping a towel around your straight elbow or wearing an elbow pad backwards.
Hope this helps.Please rate me high if you are satisfied with our conversation.In case you have further query press reply to expert button.Bonus and positive feedback are appreciated.Thanks.
Thank you for your quick response
I will try your suggestions.
I definately had my elbow bent with added pressure for the past few days. My 6 mos old granddaughter was here for 5 days.
I will also read up on cervical spondylosis.
What does the soaking do for me?
Thanks for the follow-up.
Soaking in warm water helps in relieving swelling,inflammation,pain in finger.
So you should try it to get good results.
Also make an appointment with your doctor as well.
