Show David Thomas photographs of royal diadems and coronets and it's as if you've presented him with snapshots of old friends.
"Ah, now this is the Imperial Crown of India," says the former Crown Jeweller (1991 to 2007), his eyes lighting up. "It was made for George V to wear at the Delhi Durbar in 1911 and is divided into eight arches, which shows it is for an emperor. Four arches is for a king or queen, one for the Prince of Wales."
Next in the line-up is Queen Victoria's diamond tiara, made for her in 1870.
"This is my favourite," he enthuses. "It's as light as a feather. Queen Victoria suffered from migraines, you see, and she didn't want anything heavy around her head.
"The St Edward's Crown, which was placed on our Queen's head at her coronation, weighs five and a half pounds. What with that and the heavy robes, I think there was a lot of shoulder-massaging once the ceremony was over."
Mind you, that was nothing compared to the kerfuffle on her wedding morning in 1947, when the fringed tiara she was to wear (made for Queen Mary in 1919) snapped. Urgent repairs by the then Crown Jeweller saved the day.
Indeed, being Crown Jeweller is a 24/7 job. In addition to regular trips to the Tower of London for coronet-cleaning and maintenance, the holder of the post is permanently on call.
"Even on holidays abroad, I'd pack my morning suit and a stiff-collared white shirt in case I got the call," says Mr Thomas, 69. "The job entails not just keeping the current monarch's crowns and jewels in order, but ensuring all is ready in the event of a coronation."
In other words, the Crown Jeweller is on succession stand-by, ensuring that the paraphernalia that will adorn the person of the Prince of Wales on the day he is crowned king remains in a state of scramble and lustrousness.
Mr Thomas has a long-standing connection with Prince Charles; it was the Prince who recommended him to the Queen, and also engineered his departure from his first employers, Collingwood of Conduit Street (he joined at 17, as a jewellery-cleaner and postboy), to Garrard & Co of Regent Street.
"The Spencer family were my clients at Collingwood's," he recalls. "As I understand it, there was a slight rift over the price of the engagement ring that [rival jewellers] Garrard's made for Diana. Garrard's decided that they needed the future king of England as their client, so they headhunted me in 1986. They held the warranty as Crown Jewellers, and the idea was that I'd eventually take over from Bill Summers, who was the Crown Jeweller at the time."
And so the mantle was placed around the shoulders of David V Thomas (he uses the V, for "Vyvyan", to distinguish himself from a fellow jeweller). Little had he imagined, as a chemist's son growing up in post-war Swansea, that one day he would be the Queen's man about crowns.
Not that he's ever made great capital out of his royal connections. Ask him to reveal the inscription engraved on the inside of Diana, Princess of Wales's wedding ring and he blanches. That said, he does have a few royal gems he can pass on. For example, the late Queen Elizabeth's attachment to her pearls.
"As she got older, she couldn't bear to be without them," he says. "I remember having to re-string an entire necklace in the course of a day, which was a challenge. For many years, I worked with Princess Diana, recording, photographing, cataloguing and adjusting the pieces of jewellery given as gifts."
His dedication to the royal cause has been recognized, not just in his being the awarded the MVO (Member of the Victorian Order, for services to the Queen herself) but in the way in which the Crown Jewellers warranty was removed from Garrard once he had left (it is now with Kentish jeweller Harry Collins).
For his part, Thomas thinks the dropping of Garrard & Co was due to the way in which the firm's reputation was tarnished when it was taken over (and merged with rivals Asprey) by the Sultan of Brunei's famously profligate playboy brother Prince Jefri ("a bit of a naughty boy," he says).
Nevertheless, when it comes to the workings of the monarchy, his instinct is not to question but to marvel.
"I viewed my time as the Crown Jeweller as a great privilege," he says, with cheery reverence. "There aren't many jobs in which you find yourself handling the Black Prince's ruby, the very stone that Henry V wore in his crown at the Battle of Agincourt."

WOW! That's a nice bag and a cute cat!
I finally decided to add Corkus. http://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=115779Tried for a blend of "drink", bitter and yet charming somehow.
Sure, I could do that.
Adagio has a free shipping offer today if you didn't use points/GCs, so I couldn't resist getting Ivalera. I have a feeling that it will be a very good tea!
Hopefully, I'll come up with some new blends soon!

When my son was born prematurely at 27 weeks, no one asked me if I wanted them to try to keep him alive. His tiny body, weighing less than 2 pounds, couldn't have survived without medical intervention, but he received it without question and he thrived and grew into the amazing, perfectly healthy 7-year-old boy he is today.
But babies born just a few weeks sooner than he was would get no medical intervention and would be left to die if a top doctor in the UK has her way. Dr. Daphne Austin, who heads up the NHS, says very premature babies -- those born before 24 weeks -- are too expensive to save. In a recent documentary she said keeping them alive is "prolonging their agony," and that the money used to treat them could be better spent treating things like cancer. She also said doctors are "doing more harm than good by resuscitating 23-weekers."
As harsh as it sounds, I've got to say I agree with her in some ways.
With my son we were lucky, blessed, under a lucky star, or whatever you want to believe -- but he is the exception for babies born so small. Many at his gestation have long-term disabilities and challenges that they and their families must deal with for life. And he was born a full four weeks after the limit this doctor is talking about. Four weeks is a long time, a lifetime really for these babies.
According to an article in the Daily Mail, of the babies born before 24 weeks gestation, only 9 percent ever leave the hospital. The rest die. Of those who survive, only 1 in 100 escapes without a disability like blindness or cerebral palsy. There are discrepancies in the exact statistics depending on who you ask, but the bottom line is that the odds are very much against these babies.
Everyone loves a great preemie miracle story, and they're beautiful, truly they are. But there are many more families who lose their children after extreme measures are taken or who live painful lives trying to help children with extreme medical needs.
Also, while you never want to put a price on a life, the fact is that the extraordinary efforts taken to try and save these babies are expensive. In the United States alone, premature births cost $26 billion, and if that money could be used to help save lives that have better chances of being saved, then we have to at least consider that fact.
Modern medicine is amazing, and our instinct is to fix anything and everything and marvel at our powers. But sometimes that power goes too far, and we have to step back and let nature step in to guide us. That's tough for me to say, because if doctors had stepped aside when my son was born, I don't think he would be with us today, and that very thought crushes me. But there has to be a line drawn somewhere it seems, a humane line that doesn't try to force a life that may not be meant to be. I don't know if 24 weeks is the line, but it is an important part of the discussion that's going to continue as prematurity rates continue to rise.
Do you think very premature babies should be resuscitated?

A six-year-old Suitland girl died Saturday after becoming entangled in the cords of a window blind in her home, according to the Prince George's County Fire Department.
A relative found the girl unconscious and wrapped in the cords around 12:30 p.m. in a home in the 6700 block of Larkspur Road in Suitland, fire officials said.
The relative and rescuers attempted to resuscitate the girl but were unable to revive her, fire officials said.
She was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at a nearby hospital.
Prince George's officials urged parents to keep window cords out of reach of children, particularly those under 5, who are most susceptible to being strangled by cords.
Cribs, child beds, seats and toys should be kept far from blind cords.
More information about protecting children from cords can be found at windowcoverings.org.

My name is Conners and I have a WONDERFUL 3 yr. old APBT named Shasta that I totally adore! Prior to Shasta becoming restricted, I was in the process of having her trained to be a certified Therapy Dog for St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program to give back to seniors and sick kids, some of what she has given to me. But because of Bill 132, those that were going through the training or in the program were withdrawn because of their breed.
I took her to a small town Seniors Home that didn't require the certification that some homes and hospitals require. She drew the seniors in and they loved our visits, especially the local retired dog catcher of the town that couldn't believe when I told him about the ban on Pit bulls soon to come at that point.
I, myself am disabled with multi health problems and phobia's. I did not go out to get a dog, let alone an APBT. It seemed as if the two of us were fated to be together.
For one, because of my disabilities and nerve damage, I never thought I would be able to handle such a strong dog and never even considered it, along with my old dog, Bunny had died after 20 years, 3 years previously and I vowed I'd never get my heart broken like that again. But...instead, she came to me as a favor to a young couple with a young child and a new-born to house train and train for gentleness because of the kids. To make a long story short, their hands were full with the children and work and by this time the pup and I had worked, bonded (though I tried to deny it because I knew I would have to give her up) and through all this, they asked me if I would like to keep her. She had become my life and got me outside and around people that I had phobia's with. She got me to enjoy being around people and as long as she was by my side, I had nothing to fear. I don't mean in a nasty fear, but fear as in phobias.
We started going further and I taught her how to pull wagons and sleds to pull my groceries home from the store. We took out the garbage to the bins in the same way. She wakes me in such a pleasant way when I need up. She is not allowed to bark unless someone is at the door to let me know, so she learnt how to say, 'Mom'. She can say it clearly now and people on the phone often mistake her for a child when they hear her.
Yet, the government banned them all the same and now she must always be on a leash and muzzle when out in public.
In the Dog Leash Free Parks, she must be leashed and muzzled at all times, which at first the city would not even allow them to enter.
She has no backyard as I live in an apartment on the first floor. She has nowhere to run because of the leash, but I do get her out in the summer when I ride my bike and she gets good exercise then. (Yet another accomplishment I would never of thought possible before her).
The government treats the dogs and the responsible owners like criminals and you feel like they are waiting for us to slip up. Both Shasta and I have been in the news several times and in our local newspaper for my stand against the city bylaws of their proposed Pit bull bylaws and Shasta outside City Hall promoting the positive side of Pit bulls and her use as my (uncertified due to her breed) Service Dog.
We are currently taking the Canine Good Neighbor course to photocopy our certificates to the government once we have completed and passed, to show them how well manners and behaved and in control our dogs are and not what the media has portrayed our dogs as.
We have Clayton Ruby as our lawyer that we are trying to make amendments to the DOLA to responsible owners of ALL breeds in Ontario. NO BSL! Responsible ownership and education along with other amendments we are asking for.
I also have one cat, Petu as my BrandyCat just passed away Jan. 18th after giving me 22 wonderful years with him, so I'm not passed the grieving stage.
Petu was a 1 year old rescue that I saved from Northern Ontario as the owner was going to drop him off in a blueberry bush to fend for himseld in late fall. He is now 12 years old.
My human family are a an adult son and daughter out on their own and I have two grandsons, 3 and 6.
Probably a lot more than anyone needs to know.

During Apple's Q4 2010 conference call today, surprise attendee Steve Jobs took it to RIM, their BlackBerry link, and upcoming PlayBook tablet saying they'll have to fundamentally re-invent themselves to catch up.
Highlights, paraphrased:
- Steve Jobs! (SJ): 14.1 million iPhones represents 91% growth. Handily beat RIM's 12.1 million BlackBerry's sold in most recent quarter. Past RIM, doesn't see them catching up. They must become a software platform company. A challenge for them. A high mountain to climb.
When it comes to their PlayBook tablet, he lumped them in with criticism for smaller screened Android Tablets as well:
- SJ: Other tables appear to be just a handful of credible entrants. Almost all use 7" screens compared to iPad 10". Would offer 70% of benefits. But only 45% as large because of diagonal measure. 7" screens a bit smaller than bottom half of iPad screen. Not big enough to make great tablet apps.
- SJ: Apple has done extensive testing, really understand this stuff. Limits to how close you can place elements for usability. Why 10" is minimum size for great tablet apps.
- SJ: Every tablet user is also smartphone user. No tablet can fit in your pocket. Giving up precious diplay area to fit tablets in pockets isn't the way to go. Tweeners.
- SJ: iPad now has more than 35,000 apps. New tablets will have 0.
- SJ: Competitors have a tough time coming close to iPad pricing even with smaller screen. Apple creates own chip, battery chemistry, enclosure, everything. Incredible product, incredible price. Competitors will likely offer less for more.
- SJ: New crop of tablets will likely be DOA. Too small. Will increase size next year, abandon customers and developers who went 7-inch.
That's some tough talk for the entrenched enterprise champion, with an incredibly passionate install base wrapped up in BES and BBM. Is QNX the reboot he's talking about, or is the Torch and Style a sign it's not coming fast enough?

Rebirth Carnival, Edition 1.1
Wow, what an awesome response for the second edition of the Rebirth Carnival. I've asked for what not to say to a pregnant woman, and did I get boatloads....
Christina is an independent childbirth educator (you all know how I love those!!!) who reminds us of how long the wrong choice of words can stay with you and making assumptions about other women's choices is just not cool.
Molly's personal experience shocks me, because I thought I heard it all til someone jokingly commented on her post-pregnancy body. Her post ends with a a quote that I believe shoots right at the heart of what I am trying to point out...
Gloria Lemay, a childbirth advocate, speaker, and writer shares two posts about how, although not always a bad choice of words, but bad timing can have the same effect and off hand assumptions can knock a confident woman down a few notches.
Leanne adds "Can I?" as something that should be said... and Enjoy Birth adds her thoughts on a similar thread. Also, don't eat a cheeseburger on the way to the hospital.
Heather (who calls me a "reformed labor and delivery nurse"...hmmm) mentions some things that she's heard- personal and to others- like "you will never go into labor". Eck, talk about boosting confidence!
Amy Romano thinks it's ridiculous that professionals would advise pregnant women to bribe your labor nurse. I agree.
And some have written some great lists of things not to say, some with extra commentary:
- Kathy lists almost all the ones I've heard and her take on them all... with exception to "natural childbirth is like natural dentistry"... really? Come on, people!
- Reality Rounds' list has sparked a lot of talk.
- Ciarin offers up some things no one should say, including things health care providers should never say. Like "oops!"
- SuSuseriffic provides some guidelines on what not to say including remembering that a pregnant woman is more than her pregnancy. Thank you for the reminder; I think it's something many forget!
Thank you, everyone, for such a great collection! The next carnival will be on September 6. Theme will be "first births"... so share the first birth you've encountered whether it be your own, one you assisted with, attended, or even just your thoughts on what you want for the first birth experience. Email your submissions to knitting-fool AT hotmail DOT com.

From Pollster.com
Obama and Patriots fan Ted Kennedy were at Giants home stadium The Meadowlands today. Said Barack, "This campaign is about bringing people together, and for me to be able to bring a Patriots fan to the Meadowlands the day after the Super Bowl is like bringing the lion and the lamb together. We can bridge all gaps and all divisions in this country."
Obama then congratulated Giants fans, and said he had been commiserating with Kennedy. "My Bears didn't even make the playoffs," Obama said. "Although I think we should take heart, Ted, by the fact that sometimes the underdog pulls it out."

A Surge that I approve of
From Pollster.com

Do you really think Obama is going to get all of the Gore votes (that's what happened in the graph you posted)?ReplyDelete
I seriously doubt it. Garbage in, garbage out.
This is just a "best fit" regression graph of all the publicly published polls. Whether the Obama surge came from Gore or Edwards or undecided voters is not addressed by the graph. Each poll varies in methodology, and most stopped including Gore by Aug 2007.ReplyDelete
So, I have no idea whether O will "get" all those votes, but I certainly approve of the trendlines.
Edwards stayed flat. Hillary! stayed flat. Obama only increased when they stopped counting Gore's votes.ReplyDelete
res ipsa loquitur
(although I admit I'd prefer Obama to Shrillary.)
It became clear that Gore wasn't going to run at the same time people started really paying attention to the race. Obama has consistently chipped away at Sen. Clinton's lead since then.ReplyDelete

Every girl, whether she's in secondary school, college or on her own, should know how to protect herself against date rape, also known as acquaintance rape. Although the incidence of sexual assaults against young men is underreported to police, date rape is overwhelmingly committed by males against females, and so this section is addressed to parents of teenage daughters.
In a national poll conducted by the Kaiser Permanante healthmaintenance organization, one in seven girls aged fourteen to seventeen said that a date had tried to force them to have sex. Two in five reported knowing at least one girl who'd been hit or beaten by her boyfriend. Rape is an act of violence, not sexual desire.
What can make acquaintance rape doubly traumatizing is that it is difficult to prove in a court of law. The sexual assault almost always takes place in private, with no eyewitnesses—and, many times, no signs of physical force. Rather, the rapist uses his physical advantage and the threat of violence to intimidate the woman into submission. If the victim presses charges, and many do not, the case turns on the word of the accuser versus the word of the accused. She says, I was raped against my will. He says, no, the sex was consensual.
This is a nightmarish scenario to have to contemplate. If you heeded your protective instinct, you'd probably chaperone every date or at least follow several car lengths back in an inconspicuous rental. Alas, you can't; you're learning to let go, remember?
The best that parents can do to ensure their daughter's safety is to talk to her about the types of dating situations that are most likely to snowball out of control and therefore should be avoided. Review with her the following tips for making wise decisions about the people she dates, the places she goes, and how she behaves.

In answer to those questions, the only two Jewish Preschool Curriculum that I own and think are really wonderful are:
From Plan to Product- Click Here to Check it out
Curriculum of the Arts- Click Here to Check it out
There are so many websites and blogs out there with Jewish Preschool resources that honestly, you can really make your own Jewish Homeschool Preschool Curriculum. Its just about proper planning and not getting overwhelmed by all the information that's out there.
At this stage in the game, its really not about content. Its about developing skills. If you take the average 4 year old in a Jewish Preschool who comes home with a state of the art Arts'n crafts project every day as well as a 5 page newsletter at the end of the week going into detail of everything the teacher covered in class that week about Rosh Hashanah, chances are if you ask them what they learnt about Rosh Hashanah they will give you the same answer as the Jewish Homeschooled 4 year old who spent the week playing, coloring, helping mommy bake round challahs and honey cakes and munching on apples and honey.
What we do need though, are things to keep our little preschoolers busy and challenged, things to help them develop those little brains of theirs. We also need our sanity so having a curriculum helps us stay focused.
With the help and guidance of my good friend and fellow Homeschooling Mama, Altie (she did a guest post on Kids in the Kitchen Here) I have put together some guidelines for creating your own Jewish Homeschool Preschool Curriculum. So grab yourself a notebook or iPad or open a word file on your laptop and answer the following questions...
What are your Goals?
In order to have a successful year, you need to figure out your goals for your days, weeks, months and year. You also need to know that as much as you plan, things will always come up and throw everything off, and that its okay.
Goals for the School Day:
The average Homeschool Preschool Day is 2-3 hours. There is so much that can get done during that time, so if used right, those hours are gold. It may take a few days/weeks to find the routine that works for you. Start out with a lose plan and tweek accordingly. If your kids work better in the early morning, take advantage of that time. If baby naps in the afternoon, grab that hour. With Homeschooling, you really need to let go of 'the norm' and do what works for you and your family.
Circle Time- Honestly, circle time never really went down in my house. It got old really quick, so if it works or you, go for it, but don't be too hard on yourself or your kids.
Davening- It's always a good thing to start the day with giving Tzedakah, singing a song about Tzedakah and then davening. Decide what prayers make sense to do with the little ones. Too much will have them yawning, acting up, scooting across the carpet and getting into trouble. Start small and add on new tefilos when you see they are ready. Have a special mat or blanket where you do it every day. Bring in a CD if you have (I recommend My First Sing-Along Siddur ) and props (a stuffed Torah, musical instruments, standing up, doing motions)- make it exciting for them. Remember, this can take only 5-10 minutes. It's okay, have realistic expectations and have lots of activities lined up for the rest of your school day.
Here are some things to include in your davening time-
Alef Bet- Hebrew Reading and Writing- At this age, its about introducing the letters to them. Make it fun, very tactile. Giving your 3 year old a matching worksheet will buy you about 1, maybe 2 minutes. Giving her a big letter Alef with finger paints to color it in will give you a good 5, maybe even 10 minutes, so plan accordingly!
Here is a list of Alef Bet Curriculum you can explore:
Goals for the School Week:
How many days is your school week? Some do Monday-Friday, Some do Monday- Thursday (thats me!) and some include Sunday. Decide what works for your family and plan accordingly.
Parshah- The Weekly Torah Portion- The weekly Parshah is a great time to learn about Halachos and Midos from that specific Parshah. It's always nice when things are connected so try bring out those gems each week for your kids.
Goals for the School Months/Year:
Yom Tov- Jewish Holidays- It is really easy to get overwhelmed when planning your school year. You know yourself and you know your kids. Take some time at the beginning of each month and write down each Holiday and underneath each one write down a bunch of fun and easy Arts'n crafts projects and activities that you will do. Designate, however many days or weeks as you want to work on these projects. Make yourself a Pinterest Board and closer to the holiday, start jotting down the days you want to do each project/activity and get the supplies you need. You dont need to do 25 fancy projects with your 4 year old. Keep in mind that simply peeling an apple by themselves and cutting it up with a plastic knife is a fantastic and very rewarding activity for them.
Here are some resources:
And here are some Jewish Holiday Crafts Books:
The above is your very basic Jewish Preschool Curriculum. Yes, it's so much easier to just 'follow' a curriculum, but chances are your child may not be interested in everything in the book. If you know your child, work with them and give them things that they love doing. I know my son has no interest in coloring, so giving him a Rosh Hashanah coloring book as an activity to fill up 20 minutes is not going to work. But giving him clay and asking him what Rosh Hashanah things he would like to make and then paint can buy me a serious half hour, maybe more! But give my daughter the coloring book and she will be busy busy busy with her crayons, markers, colored pencils and paints as she creates masterpiece after masterpiece.
So as we get to know our kids, take each holiday, Parshah, Special Jewish Day, Hebrew Reading/Writing and gear it toward them. You will both benefit because when the kids are happy and busy, mom is happy too. No need to fight with our kids to do something they clearly have no interest in doing. We all lose that battle.
So the bottom line is, have realistic expectations from your kids. If they are playing on the floor happily, don't stop them to tell them its time to do an activity. Let them play, use that time. If they are busy doing an activity, don't stop them to tell them its time to go play outside. Have lots of flexibility within your day and you will all be happy.
Most important- Breathe. Allow LOTS of playtime- work it into your schedule. I am working on a Jewish Homeschool Planner and hope to post it soon.
Have a wonderful Shabbos and I hope this was helpful!

Ever thought about How To Lose Weight Fast?
Do you wish to lose weight quickly, a lot of people do? We are in an era of speed an age when we all want fast results. Regardless of the fact that the surplus weight someone carries required time to amass they often times want to be rid of it in a short period of time. That's why most people are trying to find the quick fix and explains the lure of the latest pill, potion or exotic tea.Lose Weight Fast

The points to avoid in order to lose weight and also to lose it fast are diets. Diets give attention to food and the focus during an eating plan is usually on which you can not have. Cutting out foods, counting calorie intake, fat reduction, points and stuff like that mean that every one of the focus is on food, food, food.
People on diets learn which foods are 'bad' and which foods are 'good.' They learn what to prevent and just what they could have and again it's all regulated food, food, food. Because of how the mind works this focus on food will make you crave food and particularly the foodstuffs you have been told not to have.
To lose weight fast is a lot easier than you ever imagined. First of decide what you want, not what you wouldn't like but what you want. Keep the main objective off food for the time being and focus on size and shape and level of fitness then record it.

Hyundai Santa Fe Paint
pebbles10 Posts: 1i am trying to find out if my sante fa maybe recall for the paint that is coming off
and making it look very old0
santafeltd2011 Posts: 4there is no recall Hyundai is denying fault my 2011 started to peel off just months after buying the truck they blamed me when i had a detailer come to the house once a month they claimed they were washing and waxing it wrong get that [non-permissible content removed]Been looking for a law firm ever since having a hard time trying to get one to take this on anyone know of a law firm willing to do this class action post in here give them this site0
kj79 Posts: 1I just took my 2009 WHITE Santa Fe into a body shop to have them look at some paint peeling. They said they've seen the same thing in Santa Fe's. Two guys at the shop said get rid of it as soon as you can. They told me the dealership would tell me a rock did the damage. And sure enough, the dealership said it was caused from a rock. I will be getting rid of my Santa Fe ASAP. NOT dealing with this.0
carlos75 Posts: 1I just wanted to add myself to the list of people experiencing these problems. My white 2007 Santa Fe's paint is peeling like crazy. Don't know what to do.0
dannyh1 Posts: 1I now take pictures of other Santa Fe's in parking lots. I swear, 75% of them have a similar if not exact same issue as mine. I've loved this car('03 Santa Fe, merlot color). No major issues, but I can not in good conscience ever purchase a Hyundai again. I feel like white trash, but will drive this thing for at least another 2 years. No choice. I've looked into paint jobs, and that route just isn't feasible. After finally overcoming a horrible reputation, Hyundai needs to not only recognize they have a major problem, but they need to make it right.0
Funny I started this tread years ago. My Santa Fe paint has been pretty much stable. I have no peeling, only clear coast scratches that nomidea how they get there. I do however never use automated car washes. I always wash by hand. This is still not acceptable, I had a scratch on the rear when I bought the car I swear was done while they washed it before I picked it up for purchase. Anyway they had their paint repair guy fix the scratch and he did a really good job, I asked him about the paint being bad. He said all paint is bad now, also that you can scratch the clear coat with your finger nail, thanks to the environmentalist. I cant accept that answer because I have seen Fords and other cars that have paint that stand up over time.
This car has been good so far almost 100k but I wont be buying another. I dont like the way the Hyundai corp deals with this issue at all.1
canarybbb Posts: 1Hi All,
I see that I am one of many. I own a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe. My clear coat has peeled off down to bare metal in areas like roof, top of doors and top of door panels, anywhere that the sun always beats down. I just thought it was because I didn't take good enough care of the care. However, as I look at the posts it seems that it doesn't matter all that much, that this rash of paint failures happens even to Hyundai's that were garaged. I never thought about it being a fault on the Hyundai Corps part. Well at least I'm in good company. Maybe if enough of us post on this site, it will help someone ambitious enough to start a class action suit.1
9 years old when did it start? sun will do this, i have a camry had no issues with paint, it started peeling around nine years, Had it in the very hot fl sun for two years at 9 and 10 years and it started.
Just depends on when it started? Also its too old for lawsuit. You can thank the greens, for forcing car companies to change paint to the current junk they use.1
I was looking through some youtube videos, and there is this guy that shows how to plasti dip your car.
It very interesting and can be done on the cheap. I was thinking this would be a good way to
fix the issues some Santa Fes are having with paint.0
My Santa Fe has paint bubbling on the hood, above the windshield, and along the driver side door. I spoke to consumer affairs today and they advised me to take it to the dealership and have them look at it and they said whatever the dealership says they will honor. Well I took it this afternoon and three different managers said the same thing....looks like a bad paint job!!. So they put a claim in with Hyundai and we play the waiting game. However, after reading all these posts I think I have some leverage. I too would like to be apart of the class action lawsuit.1
chproverbs356 Posts: 1My white 2008 Santa Fe just started to peel on top like overnight!!! I am so upset, as it started peeling just a few weeks after purchasing a 2013 Tuscon.......this is not fading-I had a Jeep Cherokee for 12 years and it did fade from sun-this is not the same issue....so frustrated!!!1
I have a 2010 red Santa Fe. The clear coat peeling started with one door handle at about 30K miles. I did not realize the white-ish spot on the handle was a bubble in the clear coat. At 42K that bubble started to peel and then a 8" by 2" strip on the driver side quarter panel started to peel. I called the dealership and they said bring it in. I got there only to be told that the warranty expires at 36K miles. I told the tech on the phone my mileage reading while making my appointment for their viewing. I was very angry for making an unnecessary trip. Today I noticed at 48K miles that all the door handles are bubbling/peeling. I called the dealership again and was told they would talk to the district manager and get back to me in one week. If I get blown off this time, I will be taking this to the local Dallas new channels. This is unacceptable. I have purchased at least 6 brand new American made cars in my life time and this has NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE. Normal wear and tear on a paint job should not result in peeling clear coat. This Santa Fe is my first foreign car purchase - it won't happen again!!!1
I watch scotty kilmer on you tube. He says if you want to avoid peeling clear coat, you need to wax your car once every three months. The cheap clearcoat and paint hey use cant handle the suns rays.
Make sure you wax those cars.0
Clearcoat is just paint. I wash my cars maybe twice a year and rarely wax them. Don't see what good waxing would do if the paint was bad from the factory.0
The wax blocks the ultraviolet light from deteriorating clearcoat and paint. I am just letting you guys know of a way to perhaps stop this inferior paint from getting worse.0
Too much work for me. :-) The Michigan rust is going to get my cars in a few more years anyway but they are both over 14 now. Kind of surprised that the paint has done so well actually.0
maxwell65 Posts: 1My 2009 Santa Fe started to peel back in December.I was washing it and noticed about a 1"spot of paint coming off on the hood just above the headlight.I took it directly to the dealer and was informed that with 38,500 miles it was out of warranty. I painted the spot but it has since grown to about 3" x6".Two more spots on the hood have started to appear, Did I HEAR CLASS ACTION.1
We got word today from the dealership that the Hyundai rep said the charge would be $1100.00 and they will pay $400.00. They were not going to fix the side panels like their body shop manager said needs to be done. I can get my entire vehicle painted for $1600.00. I will never buy another Hyundai. They don't seem to care about the loyal customers. We have purchased 3 Hyundai's since 2006 (over $50,000)!!1
I was told by their body shop manager that eventually the entire cars paint will bubble if it is not fixed. My husband found on consumer reports that Hyundai models up to 2010 had paint issues. Now, you would think if this many people are complaining about the paint, they would have recalled them. No, they are only interested in get your money then they are done with you.1
Do you have a link to the Consumer Reports article on the paint issue that you mentioned above? I'm sure many of us would be interested to read it.0
As I have posted, my 1987 Hyundai Excel peeled paint on the bumpers. They still peel paint over twenty years later. Mine is a 2007 and it isnt peeling, but the paint is still not up to'par with other manufactors. I get told paint is made poorly nowadays from everyone that owns a car. But Hyundai is unacceptable, I havent seen this tyoe of problem on even stinky Chevys. Their clearcloat is so light its missing on some parts of the paint.
The way they keep saying your warranty is up after 36k miles, and they know they have a problem will prevent me from ever buying another.
I must say I have had warranty work done on my car since owning it, and the dealership has been good at fixing the issues. Last month at 96k, my throttle sensor went out and they replaced the and the entire throttle. I know that would have cost over $600. I did have to pay $100 under my extended warranty and the throttle wasnt covered under the 10 year/100k warranty, what crap that was too. Its an engine component and should have been under the 10/10.
My issue there is they couldn't just replace the $25.00 sensor, supposedly its not replaceable. Thats what will keep me away in the future as well.
Other warranty work, valve cover leaked, so gasket replaced, leaked on alternator so alternator replaced. Drivers seat switch broke and replaced.
The car has been alright overall, and should last me years more, but its my last. You dont back your product you lose business period. You may save like 3k on a twenty thousand car but its not worth it.0
wms09 Posts: 1I left work at 5pm tonight with a few small chips in the paint on the hood and roof of my white 09 Santa Fe. An extremely hard Houston rain (raining sideways at times) pounded the car for about 8 - 10 miles. The rain, with thunder and lightning, was so hard I could barely see my wiper blades. Then I began to see swatches of something. Irregular shapes splattering the windshield along with the rain. To my SHOCK when I reached my destination and exited the car, HUGE patches of primer are now very clearly visible ALL OVER the hood and roof. I drove straight to the dealership to show them, but because I have 68,000 miles on the car, they said there is nothing they can do. Several of the bare spots are larger than my hand. Sales people looked at it in awe saying they'd never seen anything like it. This is CRAZY!0
hyundai_paint Posts: 1We bought a new 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe four months ago in Toronto, Canada and have less than 6000 km on it. We discovered a chip in the driver's side paint a bit smaller than a dime but going completely through the paint down to the metal. We took it too the dealer who said there was a dint there -- if there is it is almost impossible to see -- and they would not fix it under warranty. I have owned many cars over 50 years and kept each of them for years and never once have I seen this type of damage. I will pursue this with Hyundai but am not hopeful based on what I have read. I'm all for a class action suit on paint quality.0
I have a 2011 Santa fe the door Handels and a very very big spot on the hood peeling it's embarrassing !!!. They said they will only cover if under 36,0000 or 3 years. I have 22,00o miles. Still making payments and pissed. There's gotta be something we can do.0
Has Anyone received any results or started any action about paint issues.my 2011 Santa fe paint on hood pealing and on door knobs also blk paint peeling off metal piece between windows0
kcolem1969 Posts: 1So did anyone find a solution? I am just now becoming brave enough to bring the issue to the dealers attention and needless to say I am not feeling very confident that they will take care of business. Any advice is appreciated...that karen0
amalaur1 Posts: 1I am the owner of a 2009 Santa Fe. I am sorry to report that the paint is coming off in big chunks right down to the metal. I have taken the car to two reputable body shops which concur that there is a manufacturing problem with the paint. So far I have gotten nowhere with Hyundai. I am in the process of filling out papers with the Better Business Bureau. This is sickening to say the least. I can't believe all the people that are having the same problem. I will never again buy a Hyundai. I think the consumer needs to be warned of this HUGE problem.1
bill_smith Posts: 1My 2009 Sage Green Santa Fe has been peeling for a few years now. Mostly on the hood and around the windshield. The paint doesn't stick to the primer at all. I had read somewhere that some EPA rules put restrictions on the chemicals required to make the paint stick. Why Hyundai and not others??? I just got done a wonderful job of plasti dipping the affected surfaces but when I peeled the overspray tape off, the Hyundai paint came off with it. It simply isn't stuck at all. Will try again with Frog Tape for Delicate Surfaces. Have my doubts there is a way around it. Hoping to get lucky.1
Everyone always like to point fingers at "regulations" but obviously not all cars have bad paint. Not even all Hyundais. Looks like there's something wrong either with their supplier or the application.0

Akrapovic Racing Power Combo Yamaha FJ-09
Akrapovic and Dynojet, two brands well known for high-performance have been combined to give you a one-stop shop for absolute power! All Akrapovic Exhaust Systems were originally designed to work with your factory fuel tune however, there is still horsepower waiting to be unlocked by way of a Power Commander V. Dynojet has compiled the largest library of fuel maps on their website, making this combo that much easier to set up. The Racing Power Combo consists of an Akrapovic Racing Exhaust System and a Dynojet Power Commander V.
The Akrapovic Racing Line has been designed specifically for demanding riders and represents an ideal balance between price and performance. The exhaust systems are dramatically lighter compared to stock exhaust systems and feature exceptional production quality and increased engine performance combined with pure racing sound output. The headers and mid-pipes are constructed of high-quality stainless steel conical tubes with precision handcrafting. A special process known as hydroforming is used in the manufacturing of the exhaust pipes. This process injects pressurized water into each tube to form the ideal shape for optimum exhaust flow without causing creases or compromising the strength of the steel.
The Dynojet Power Commander V is a vital first step into the world of motorcycle fuel tuning. The ability to adjust your motorcycle's fuel map is vital if you have added a high-flow air filter, aftermarket exhaust system or smog block-off plates. All of these modifications will, in some way, alter the air/fuel ratio in your engine. The Dynojet PCV, with its microprocessors and PCV Software, allows you to adjust your motorcycle's fuel map up to +250%/-100% to ensure an optimal setting. Dynojet offers a large database of free, downloadable maps for many combinations of motorcycles and aftermarket parts.

Blend the mint, basil, nuts, cheese, lemon juice, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper in a food processor until the herbs are finely chopped. With the machine running, gradually blend in 1/3 cup of oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Generously sprinkle the lamb racks with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a grill pan or heavy large skillet over high heat. Place 1 lamb rack in the skillet and cook just until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the lamb rack meat side up on a heavy large baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 2 lamb racks.
Roast the lamb in the oven until cooked to desired doneness, about 20 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer the lamb racks to a work surface. Set aside for 10 minutes. Cut the lamb between the bones into single chops. Spread the pesto over 1 cut side of each chop. Arrange the chops, pesto side up, on plates or a platter, and serve.
Alternately, the racks of lamb can be sliced then broiled before serving. To broil the lamb: Use 18 to 24 meaty single lamb rib chops (about 2 1/2 ounces each, from 3 racks of lamb). Preheat the broiler. Arrange the lamb chops in a single layer over 2 heavy baking sheets. Lightly brush the lamb chops with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Watching closely, broil the lamb chops 3 inches from the heat source until cooked to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Spread the pesto over the chops. Arrange the chops pesto side up on plates or a platter, and serve.
Do-Ahead Tip: The pesto and lamb racks may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead. Cover the pesto and lamb separately and refrigerate. Allow extra time for the chilled lamb to roast.

Drivers, team bosses and senior executives from major sponsors are making elaborate plans to avoid meeting or being photographed with Max Mosley during the Monaco Grand Prix. The May 25th race will be the first Mosley will attend since the Max Mosley Sex Video leaked. According to The Times, some teams are even going as far as employing scouts to keep them informed of Mosley's location and movements.
The Times goes on to report that "the clear majority of team managers" think that Mosley's refusal to resign is hurting the sport. According to the paper, the Monaco Royal Family have expressed similar concerns. Mosley was ordered by the Royal family of Bahrain not to attend their F1 round, didn't attend the Spanish Grand Prix for fear of embarrassing King Juan Carlos and the Turkish Prime Minister's office approached Bernie Ecclestone to ensure their boss wouldn't encounter the besieged FIA President.
FIA's general assembly will meet on June 3rd for a vote of no confidence in their President. [via The Times]

The Earth Belt
by Martin Gardner
Imagine that you are on a perfectly smooth sphere
as big as the earth. A steel belt is stretched tightly around one of
its equators.
One meter of steel (a little bit more than a yard) is added to this
belt so that it is raised off the surface of the sphere by the same
distance all the way around. Will this lift the belt high enough so
that you can:
1) Slip a playing card under it?
2) Slip your hand under it?
3) Slip a baseball under it?

Quote from the other thread, varning spoilers ahead.
Is this the reason the later LEDs doesnt use those fancy transparent armor anymore?It is said that the Mirages get their butt's kicked so badly during the Space War with the Vagires that the creation of the Wunderschatze and the Cloudschatze are a direct result of that. Amaterasu decided he wanted a dedicated space fighter with the power of a MH in his forces because his MH forces got decimated at Stant....
The first scene in book1 with the LED and the Black knight show the LED with normal armor.
During the Colus-Hagooda war we see a couple of the first prototype LEDs and they have seemingly normal armor.
And when Amaterasu showcases them to the galaxy somewhere around 3007 they have gotten that transparent armor.
Does the war with Stant deplete the AKDs resources so much that they had to stop making it? Or is that a simple case of Nagano not having the skills to draw the LED like they are supposed to look like when he first started?

Gun control advocates led by President Barack Obama suffered a huge setback Wednesday as the Senate defeated a delicately crafted compromise aimed at strengthening background checks for gun buyers – and then proceeded to reject a ban on assault weapons and limits on ammunition clips.
The votes were a bitter reminder that winning even the most gentle of gun control measures faces a near-impossible path to winning congressional approval.

"All in all, this was a pretty shameful day for Washington," a clearly irritated Obama said after the background check vote.
The Senate will resume voting on gun measures Thursday at noon. But the amendments it will consider are seen as minor, and once those votes are done, lawmakers are scheduled to move on to other business. It's unclear when the gun legislation will come up again.
Gun control backers thought this time might be different, that they could reverse the years of frustration getting meaningful gun control legislation approved. The horror of the Dec. 14 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, where a gunman killed 20 schoolchildren and six adults in Newtown, Conn., was never far from the minds of senators.
Victims of gun violence from Newtown, Tucson, Colorado and other sites of recent horrors watched the votes from the galleries. "Shame on you!" Patricia Maisch, a survivor of the January 2011 Tucson shopping center shootings, shouted as the Senate vote to reject the background check compromise was announced.
At the White House after the vote, Mark Barden, the father of a child killed at Sandy Hook, recalled how "we met with dozens of Democrats and Republicans, and shared with them pictures of our children, our spouses, our parents who lost their lives on December 14th. Expanded background checks wouldn't have saved our loved ones, but still we came to support a bipartisan proposal from two senators."
The disappointment and anger were clear. Obama had a personal lobbying effort unlike any seen by a president since the Clinton administration. After the background check defeat, he went to the Rose Garden, flanked by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and Vice President Joe Biden, and put the blame for the defeat squarely on the gun lobby. Giffords was severely wounded in the Tucson incident.
"All that happened today was the preservation of the loophole that lets dangerous criminals buy guns without a background check," Obama said.
"Instead of supporting this compromise," he said, "the gun lobby and its allies willfully lied about the bill. They claimed that it would create some sort of 'big brother' gun registry, even though the bill did the opposite."
The strategy worked, Obama lamented. "Unfortunately, this pattern of spreading untruths about this legislation served a purpose, because those lies upset an intense minority of gun owners, and that in turn intimidated a lot of senators.''
To change Washington, he said, "You, the American people, are going to have to sustain some passion about this. And when necessary, you've got to send the right people to Washington."
In vote after vote Wednesday afternoon, gun control backers came up short of the 60 needed for passage.
The background check compromise got 54 votes. The assault weapons ban got 40, even after Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., pleaded with colleagues to "show some guts." The effort to put curbs on ammunition clips got 46 votes.
The votes largely reflected geography. Senators from more rural, more conservative states sided with gun rights advocates. Senators with more urban constituencies backed gun control.
Gun rights supporters tried to get some changes to the bill, and those too failed. A bid to expand concealed-carry laws got 57 votes. An alternative to the background check compromise got 52.
Many had thought the tortured memory of Newtown would finally help win at least the background check effort.
"If tragedy strikes again – if innocents are gunned down in a classroom or a theater or a restaurant – I could not live with myself as a father, as a husband, as a grandfather or as a friend knowing that I didn't do everything in my power to prevent it," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
But conscience meant different things to different senators.
Reid's Nevada colleague, Republican Sen. Dean Heller, was seen as a potential swing vote for the background check compromise. He voted no.
"The onerous paperwork and expansion of federal power mandated in this legislation are too great of a concern," he explained in a statement. "I believe that this legislation could lead to the creation of a national gun registry and puts additional burdens on law-abiding citizens."
That was the opponents' chief complaint. The background check provision was viewed as a mild form of gun control. Crafted by gun rights backers Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., it would extend background checks to gun shows and online sales but would exempt private transactions.
Manchin, a National Rifle Association member, pleaded with colleagues to back the measure and said on the Senate floor that the NRA had lied about the measure's reach.
"There is not a universal background check," he said, answering critics. "There is nothing in this bill that basically says that you're living in a neighborhood, and you want to sell your neighbor your gun, you can do it. No background checks are required."
Other opponents argued that the Manchin-Toomey approach simply wouldn't work.
"We should not further strain the existing broken system by expanding the use of an incomplete database to more transactions," said Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa. "We should fix the existing system."
Grassley and Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, offered an alternative that would increase the number of mental health records entered into the federal background check database.
The Senate voted on a host of other gun provisions. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, tried to require states to respect concealed-carry gun permits issued by other states. Cornyn, speaking on the Senate floor Wednesday, insisted that it wouldn't establish a national standard for concealed-carry.
"What it would do is to effectively treat concealed-carry licenses like a driver's license," Cornyn said. "If you're driving from Virginia to Texas, you don't have to obtain a separate driver's license for each state you drive through."
But Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., drew a line at his state's border.
"Concealed-carry is my greatest worry," he told reporters Tuesday. "The good news there is, instead of needing 60 votes, we need 41" to defeat the amendment.
The Senate also voted on a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines long sought by Feinstein. She had succeeded nearly two decades earlier getting an assault weapons ban passed and launched a forceful renewed effort after the Newtown shootings, but by Wednesday morning, she had all but conceded that the push would not succeed.
"Not every issue we vote on in the Senate is a life or death matter – I believe this is," she said on the Senate floor. "I urge my colleagues to stand tall and support this amendment."
But few senators were present – one was Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, a North Dakota Democrat who was presiding over the empty chamber. She voted no on Feinstein's amendment.
