Prague Hotel and Restaurant U tri pstrosu or At Three Ostriches
We recently visited Prague and stayed at the Hotel Hoffmeister which is an excellent LL property with a wonderful restaurant of which I can't say enough. However, we also discovered a charming small 4 Star First Class Hotel called Hotel U tri pstrosu (in English: At Three Ostriches) information at [email protected]. The hotel is located directly in the heart of the historical centre at the famous Charles Bridge and in the immediate visinity of the otehr distinguished Prague sights. A beautiful renaissance house from 1597 is situated in place of the original middle-age pub, which was frequently visited by Charles IV, the Czech King and Holy Roman Emperor, when he watched the construction works on the gothic stone bridge in the 14th century. The house was built by Jan fux, a supplier of ostrich feathers, a fashion novelty of the time, who had the front No. 11 of his house decorated with three ostriches to advertise his business. Since 1606, thes three ostriches have been the symbol of the house. In 1714, an Armenian businessman opened in the house the first coffee shop in Bohemia. In the years 1972-76, the house underwent major restoration works supervised by Prague's conservation authorities. Its colored facade was renovated and the hous was rearranged to serve as hotel and first class Restaurant.
We had dinner there and were served an excellent Menu de Degustation with various wines matched to each course. We had quite a feast and walked back to our hotel quite happily. I would highly recommend this hotel, but especially the Restaurant by the same name.
Re: Prague Hotel and Restaurant U tri pstrosu or At Three Ostriches
Hi travelfan
Your post on the Three Ostriches Hotel in Prague intrigues me because of its rich and colouful history going back to the late 1500s. I'm fascinated by your description of the restaurant that's in this old hotel and wonder what sort of meal you enjoyed there. Was it a Bohemian version of the famed and delicious Weiner Schnitzel or perhaps the traditional Czech Vareniky (Stuffed Dumplings)? Please fill us in on what delicacies you had at this venerable eating establishment.
Re: Prague Hotel and Restaurant U tri pstrosu or At Three Ostriches
Hi Curt,
Les Trois Autruches is a wonderful classic restaurant. You can get traditional local food there, if you wish, but you can also get a wonderful 6-course tasting menu with assorted wines, consisting of such delicacies as warm goose liver cream with mixed baby greens tossed in a warm balsamic vinaigrette and green asparagus tips in tempura, local venison served pink with chaterelles and truffles, broiled sea bass in a light cream sauce with baby lima beans, a palate cleanser of lime sorbet laced with slivovitz and yoghurt soup with vanilla ice cream topped with chocolate crumble. This menu would do any first rate French chef proud. The price runs about 49 Euros p.p. plus wine, but it is a meal to remember. Now, you made me hungry all over again...

If you had to die by drowning, drowning in a sea of bacon would be the way to go.

Unless, of course, this is your means of frying the Bacon, in which case please proceed.

"Bacon of the entire sky"
I'll spend my life seeking out this Bacon.
There must be a missing verse in the Bible where it talks about Heaven:
"The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone… The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass." (Revelation 21)

Any ideas on how I can join some people on sails around here in New Haven CT. Just moved here and having a hard time meeting people in the sailing community.
Please check out the Stonington Harbor Yacht Club. Www.shyc.us. We have both Corintian and full
Active membership depending upon age. You might enjoy the Ideal Ladies who get together regularly to sail our Ideal 18s. There is Friday evening PHRF and weekend J-24 racing and someone always needs crew. We also have spring and fall Laser frost biting.
We are a year round club with many social and educational events.
I am a past flag officer, board member and Race Committee member and would be happy to speak to you about our club and sponsorship.
Thank you so much for your reply! I was reading the last issue of cruising world in to my surprise they put my post in their magazine. I took a look at the website and it looks like a lot of fun! I have never been to Stonington but I will have to venture that way. I enjoy mystic every time I have been there.
I've lived & sailed from New Haven, East Haven, West Haven & Branford for over 50 years. The Yale Boat House in Short Beach Branford, on the water, is where the Yale Sailing Team resides. It used to be for a nominal annual fee you could use their boats, take sailing lessons,keep a small sailboat to be dry sailed there. Branford Yacht Club is a sort of blue collar club where members are obligated to provide services to the club to keep the expenses down. I've been out of New Haven since 2001, but I probably still know people who who could introduce you for membership. New Haven Yacht Club in East Haven, an all sail yachtclub, is also a situation where the members are obligated to provide services, but unlike Branford, they don't have slips, all the boats are on moorings. There is also the Pine Orchard Yacht Club in Branford which also has a golf course on the water and Milford Yacht Club. Probably the best way to start would be to noodle around the Yale Boat House or wander around Bruce & Johnson's Marina in Branford or Milford Boat Works on a nice spring week-end when everyone is working on their boats.
If you post some information about yourself and the kind of sailing you want to do ( racing, cruising, daysailing etc.) I might be able to hook you up or hook you up with someone who can. Good luck!
I am a student at the University of New Haven and veteran of the Navy. I am studying Mechanical engineering and focusing on renewable energy research. I am looking to learn and enjoy being on the water, I am open to racing, and daysailing or just giving a helping hand sanding and painting if some one needs it. I do not feel I should pay thousands of dollars to learn to sail but I also realize the importance in safety and knowing what is going on. I have walked around Milford and the Boat Works. There are a bunch of beautiful boats out there. Unfortunately, it was late into the season and the people I talked with were getting ready to get their boats out of the water.

Amazon.com has the LaCie Rikiki 640GB Portable Hard Drive for $120.33, after $13.66 savings.
Toshiba to ship 640GB laptop and portable drives
Awhile ago Western Digital released its top-capacity laptop hard drive, the Scorpio Blue, which is the first 2.5-inch hard drive to offer 1TB of storage. On Tuesday, Toshiba announced its own largest laptop hard drive to date, the MKxx65GSX, which caps at 640GB.
Though smaller in capacity, the new Toshiba hard drive has two advantages over the WD Scorpio Blue. First, it spins at 5400rpm as opposed to the 5200rpm of the WD, meaning it potentially has a faster throughput speed.
The new Toshiba drive also comes in the regular 9.5mm thickness and therefore will work in all applications where SATA 2.5-inch hard drives currently are used. The Scorpio Blue is 12.5mm thick and therefore only fits in laptops with a larger hard drive bay.
The new hard drive is built based on Toshiba's new 320GB-per-platter design which, according to the company, reduces power consumption and heat dissipation by more than 80 percent compared with 3.5-inch hard drives of the same capacity. This helps save energy and prolong the life span of the drive.… Read more

Photo: Grey Crawford What's the point of a planet-friendly makeover if your castoffs end up in a landfill? "Tossing them out negates the effect of the environmentally correct products you put in," explains environmental designer Danny Seo, who recommends doing the following.
Appliances: Stores like Lowe's and Home Depot will often haul away a used appliance for recycling when you buy a new one, but if you're stuck with an old model, call 800-GOT-JUNK and they will pick it up, recycle what they can, and take the rest to the dump for a fee. Computers, printers, and other electronics: Staples stores will take small items for free, larger ones for $10 each, and recycle them. Or contact your local waste management department; many cities have drop-off sites for electronics and toxic waste. Magazines, office paper, newspapers, catalogs, and mail: If your area doesn't offer paper recycling, look for Paper Retriever recycling bins in your town. The proceeds benefit schools and nonprofit organizations in your community. Carpet: Find a local carpet collection and recycling service at CarpetRecovery.org. Random Items: You can always donate clothing, kitchenware, furniture, and other household goods to a local charity thrift store and get a tax deduction. Or keep functional items out of a landfill by giving them away. Post a classified ad on Freecycle.org or Craigslist.org. Above: Actress Kerry Washington shopping with designer Danny Seo.

CARRERA'S WOMAN by ED McBAIN writing as RICHARD MARSTEN
We were just about even. The Mexican sky hung over our heads like a pale blue circus tent. We crouched behind the rocks, and we each held .45's in our fists. We were high in the Sierra Madres, and the rocks were jagged and sharp; high outcroppings untouched by erosive waters. Between us was a stretch of pebble-strewn flatland and a solid wall of hatred that seemed alive in the heat of the sun.
We were just about even, but not quite.
The guy behind the other .45 had ten thousand dollars that belonged to me. I had something that belonged to him, his woman.
She lay beside me now, flat on her belly. She was slim and browned from the sun, a colorful print skirt curving over the smooth roundness of her body. Her legs were long and sleek where the skirt ended. I held her wrist tightly, her arm twisted into a V behind her back. She had stopped struggling now, and she lay peacefully, her head twisted away from me, her hair looking like black, untamed weeds against the ground.
"Carrera!" I shouted.
"I hear you, senor," he answered. His voice was fat, fat the way he was. I thought of his paunch, and I thought of the ten G's in the money belt, pressed tight against his sweaty flesh. My money. I'd worked hard for that money. I'd sweated in the Tampico oil fields for more than three years, socking it away a little at a time, letting it pile up for the day I could kiss Mexico goodbye.
"Look, Carrera," I said, "I'm giving you one last chance."
"Save your breath, senor," he called back.
"You'd better save yours, you bastard," I shouted. "You'd better save it because pretty soon you're not going to have any."
"Perhaps," he answered. I couldn't see him because his head was pulled down below the rocks. But I knew he was grinning, and I wanted to strangle him for it.
'I want that ten thousand," I shouted.
He laughed aloud this time, and my fingers tightened involuntarily around the girl's wrist. "Ah, but that is where the difficulty lies," he said. "I want it, too."
"Look, Carrera, I'm through playing around," I told him. "If you're not out of there in five minutes, I'm going to put a hole in your sweetie's head." I paused, wondering if he'd heard me. "You got that, Carrera? Five minutes."
He waited again before answering, and then his voice drifted across the flatland. "You had better shoot her now, senor. You are not getting this money."
The girl began laughing, a throaty laugh that started somewhere down in her chest and bubbled up onto her lips.
"Shut up!" I told her. I let her wrist go for a second and slapped her on the behind, hard, the palm of my hand smarting. I grabbed her wrist again, and bent her arm up behind her.
She was still laughing.
"What's so damn funny?" I asked her.
"You will never outwait Carrera," she said. Her voice was as low and as deep as her laugh. "Carrera is a very patient man."
"I can be patient, too, sister," I said. "I patiently saved that ten thousand bucks for three years, and no tin horn crook is going to step in and swipe it."
"You underestimate Carrera," she said.
"No, baby, I've got Carrera pegged to a tee. He's a small-time punk. Back in the States, he'd be shaking pennies out of gum machines. He probably steals tortillas from blind old ladies down here."
"You underestimate him," she repeated.
I shook my head. "No, baby, this is Carrera's big killing--or so he thinks. That ten thousand is his key to the big time. Only it belongs to me, and it's coming back to me."
She rolled over suddenly, pinning my arm under her back. She wore a peasant blouse with a swooping neckline, and a shadowed cleft was deep between her breasts. Her lips were a little too full, almost swollen looking. And her mouth was a little too wide for the narrow oval face. She looked up at me through heavily fringed eyes, smoldering brown, intense with the reflection of the Mexican sky--and with something else.
"If you were smart," she said, "you would leave. You would pack up and go, my friend, and you wouldn't stop to look back."
"I'm not smart."
"I know. So you'll stay here, and Carrera will kill you. Or I will kill you. Either way, you will be dead, and your money will be gone, anyway." She paused and a faint smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. "It is better that you lose only your money."
I glanced at my watch. "Carrera has about two minutes, honey."
"And after that?"
"It's up to Carrera," I said. As if to check, I shouted, "You like your girlfriends dead, Carrera?"
"Ten thousand dollars will buy a lot of girlfriends," he called back.
I looked down at her. She seemed to be comfortable resting against my arm. I could feel the warm flesh of her back where it pressed against my hand.
"Did you hear your boyfriend?" I asked.
"I heard."
"He doesn't seem to give a damn whether I shoot you or not."
She shrugged, and her sudden motion did things to the front of her blouse. "It is not that," she whispered. "He simply knows that you will not kill me."
"Don't be too surprised, baby."
She lifted one black brow against her forehead, held it bent there like the crooked wing of a raven in flight. The smile flitted across her face again, was gone almost before it started. "You will not kill me," she said.
I didn't answer her. I kept staring at my watch until the five minutes were up. I was suddenly sweating all over. My shirt stuck to my back, and I could feel the perspiration trickling down my chest, oozing through the blond hairs that covered it. My brow was beaded with enormous drops of sweat that converged and slid down the side of my nose.
After a long while, she said, "See?"
That was all she said. I looked at her for a few seconds, and then I released her wrist, pulling my arm from under her. I held the .45 on her as I undid my belt. My dungarees were tight around my waist. I'd thrown them on the night I caught them both in my hotel room, Carrera and this wench. Carrera was fast for a fat man, but I'd grabbed his woman, and I'd kept her with me on the chase that led through the streets of Tampico, out past El Higo, Taniajas, Tancanhuitz, Chicontepac--Mexican towns as old as the Aztecs, towns with rutted cart roads that had raised hell with the tires of my '46 Olds. Carrera had driven an old Ford. He drove it recklessly, ditching it when we reached the mountains, stumbling forward on foot then, with the girl and me close behind him.
"Roll over," I told her.
Her eyes opened in mock surprise, then narrowed lewdly.
"Why, senor!"
"Let's not get cute," I said. I grabbed her shoulder and shoved, and she rolled over, her skirt lifting with the movement, lifting over a soft, browned thigh. She pulled it down quickly, and I grabbed her hands and crossed them behind her back. I wrapped the belt around them tightly, looped it through, and took another turn. She sat up when I was finished, and studied my face carefully.
"My feet, senor. Are you not afraid I will kick you to death?"
She was mocking me, and I was ready to answer when I realized her last statement had been a carefully calculated one. She was trying to shame me into leaving her feet unbound.
I pulled my shirt tails out of the band of my dungarees, and started to unbutton the shirt. I was going to tear it into strips and use these to tie her feet together. I thought of the sun overhead, and I realized how pleasant it would be with a blistering sunburn and that fat pig across the dirt alley with a .45 pointed my way. I buttoned my shirt again and let it hang outside my trousers. Then I sat down across her knees quickly, pinning her legs to the ground. A surprised look crossed her face, and her eyes grew saucer-wide as I took the hem of her skirt in my hands and began tearing.
She tried to kick, so I shoved her back with the heel of my hand, and she sprawled onto her back and lay still while I tore a wide band from the bottom of her skirt. It made the skirt a good deal shorter. Her knees were round and smooth, and her calves were muscular, like a dancer's calves, rippling with a supple, sinuous grace. She looked at me with unmasked hatred in her eyes. She was Carrera's woman, all right, clear to the marrow.
I tore the band of material into narrower strips and reached for her ankles. She kicked out viciously, aiming for my face as I bent over her. I threw one arm across her legs, looped the material under her ankles. I straddled her then, my back to her face, and finished knotting the cloth around her ankles. I did a good job. Not so tight as to stop circulation, but tight enough to prevent any running around. I got up then and lit a cigarette, tucking the heavy Colt into my waistband.
"Now what?" she asked. She was leaning back against the rocks, a loose strand of hair falling over one eye.
"What's your name?"
She didn't answer.
I shrugged. "Suit yourself," I said.
"My name is Linda," she said at length.
"Make yourself comfortable, Linda," I told her. "We're going to be here for quite some time."

Analysts say Apple is exploring a cheaper iPhone and a higher-end model for release later this year. (Apple / January 9, 2013) |
A lower-end iPhone and higher-end model of Apple's flagship smartphone could be launched by mid-2013, according to reports.
"We believe Apple could launch a higher-end iPhone model by the June quarter versus its more typical September/October timing for a new iPhone launch," Canaccord Genuity analyst T. Michael Walkley said in a report to investors, a Yahoo News report shows. "We also believe Apple could potentially launch a lower-end iPhone focused on more price-sensitive pre-paid markets, as we believe consumers in markets such as China, Latin America and Eastern Europe would have very strong demand for a more affordably priced 3G iPhone."
The iPhone 5, launched in November 2012, did very well for the company during the holiday season, and it appears Apple wants to continue that success with a newer model. Some reports show the next generation iPhone will come in a variety of colors, not just the black and white versions.
While a lower-end iPhone would be a dramatic shift in the company's strategy.
Some reports show the lower-end iPhone might resemble the current smartphone, but with a less expensive polycarbonate plastic body instead of the aluminum shell of the current iPhone 5.
Apple has not confirmed any of these reports.

After almost 7 years of WoW, 4 85's and numerous other alts with only one significant break of a month back in 2006, I've logged on less and less in recent weeks and decided to give RIFT an honest try for awhile. I still run a weekly 10m FL but once that's done, I've been back on RIFT.
4.3 has some things I'm looking forward to, so my WoW time will surely increase a bit then, but I'll admit the change of scenery has been nice.

Fractional Delay in the Frequency Domain for Beamforming Applications
Real-time processing of audio signals in microphone and loudspeaker arrays often requires the implementation of fractional delays. The proposed methods are particularly relevant in applications that use windowing and frequency transforms. The short-time spectrum can be modified to obtain the equivalent delay. Various approaches to the problem are discussed and evaluated in the context of beamforming precision resulting from time-alignment errors.

This album is much better than her previous debut album. Every song, I mean every single song on this album is lovable...not likable but loveable and is pure genius.
The sound of the album is more of a sythesized-pop/R&B feel (remember, this WAS the 80s), with the signature Whitney Houston ballads. The album features productions and writing from Narada Michael Walden (who produced most of the album - and frequently produced for many, many artists throughout the 80s and early 90s), Jellybean, Billy Steinberg/Tom Kelly, and Michael Masser, among others.
Most notable hits are "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)", "So Emotional" (my personal favorite), "Love Will Save The Day", "Where Do Broken Hearts Go," and "Didn't We Almost Have It All." Another notable song is "I Know Him So Well" which features Whitney's mother Cissy Houston.
Overall, if you are a fan of the great pop sounds of the 80s, or just addicted to Whitney's amazing voice, this is for you!
Worth every penny...buy it

The Chron discovers the lack of waterfront planning
So the Chronicle's John King (who's generally not a bad architecture critic and really seems to understand city planning) finally discovered something that some of us have been talking about for months: There's no comprehensive planning on the waterfront. Instead, it's all developer-driven projects that make little sense as part of a well-thought-out future for the area.
Once again, we are hampered by the Chron's paywall, so unless you subscribe you can't read the whole story. But here's the gist of it:
Instead of mapping out how the next frontiers of growth should be filled in, Mayor Ed Lee's administration is letting developers frame the debate. They select a site, cook up a proposal and then see what will fly.
He notes that there are good touches in the new Warriors proposal, although:
[N]obody envisioned an 18,000-seat arena on a pier until the Warriors called City Hall. The team loved the glamour of the camera-friendly location. The Lee administration saw a chance to fill a void left open when the America's Cup organizers shifted gears. .... the whole effort is aimed at soothing objections to what the team owners want. It isn't connected to a pre-existing vision of what this part of the city could be.
There have been successful community-based planning efforts in other parts of town. But the waterfront -- which is unique and immensely valuable -- is nothing but a collection of projects that developers want. And Lee is going along:
Today, instead, we have a mayor's office that wants to make things happen. Progress is measured in terms of construction jobs, housing units and new buildings that might lure the likes of Google up north. Planners on the city and state payrolls are put in the reaction mode, massaging the details the best they can.If this continues, some of what gets built could be terrific.Some of it could also be an alien presence in the city around it. And that's not a legacy that any mayor should want.
It's all too reminiscent of Dot-Com Boom I, when Willie Brown was in charge and city planning was driven entirely by campaign money. Highrise office buidlings in the residential Mission? No problem -- just wave the dollars in front of the mayor. Not saying Lee is that corrupt -- but he's so excited about building stuff that he can't bother to take a step back and ask: Is this the city we really want?
you wouldn't be able to resist crowing about it here.
Kinda like you wouldn't be able to resist a snarky comment about here?! The trolls on this page haven't the slightest speck of self-awareness.
When will you begin to write the pieces others, opinion-leaders - react to? Right now you're basically the reverse echo of what ever the Chron writes - as much as your mock them. It's gotta hurt.
Ha, high rises in the mission? Jesus christ, is it possible that 5-6 stories is considered a high rise in this city? The mission should contain low to middle income housing in the form of new 20 story apartment buildings, its done in Brooklyn, why not here? But yes, let's all complain about the rising costs of housing and the pushing out of our creative class due to rent costs, but then do nothing about it. Just madness to me
Even though soon only rich people will be able to enjoy it.
We are a quaint village by the sea with "progressive" values. 5 stories is a highrise!
wants to come and live in SF, when you find that you cannot afford to because the NIMBY locals refuse to build high - something that is very well known to be the only way to keep housing affordable.
Fuck brooklin
Has the Gaurdian investigated and detailed, in an article, the contractors to politicians money flow?
Including the returns the contrators get on thier politician investments at the exspence of citizens of SF?
what are the chances that such an investigation shows the top 1%ers using their government to screw the 99%ers?
follow the money
We are afraid of planning here, after World War 2 we tried to create a blue print on the how, where and places for growth. We tried to plan for transit both public transit and private cars, see freeways. We had a pretty good ferry service before the car, but taking forever to plan a rebirth. We planned for San Francisco which at one was the job center. Guess what Silicon Valley changed that, it has taken so many years to accept that fact and some of you still don't even get it.
We have to have farms within 20 miles of San Francisco but yet we lose farms faster then ever. Far off housing, public transit and freeways can't be build fast enough and even it we could. We don't have the money. A bike won't solve the problem.

PUBLISHED MONTHLY BY THE VILLAGE OF FREEPORT Vol. 9-11 November, 1959 The repaving of SouthGrove Street from Sunrise Highway to Front Street makes a mile and twotenths more of road improvement in the Village of Freeport. PRESENTING YOUR COMMISSIONERS When it comes to knowing Long Island, Manhattan born Gustav J. Berkel, Member of the Sewer Com-mission, bows to no man. For when Gus came to the Island in 1917 sell-ing an ice cream line he covered his territory, town by town, on a bike. Pedalling through Freeport he took a special liking for the place and by 1923, the L. I. R. R. had replaced the bicycle as Gus1 mode of transporta-tion and he and_ the former Jeannie E. Rein moved into 216 Pine Street and they are there yet. Gus spent his whole business life in the ice cream business and when he retired in 1957 he had gone along way from be ing a salesman on a bike* Gus was the Sales Promotion and Merchandising Representative of the Pioneer Ice Cream division of the Borden Company. His retirement gave him, as he puts it, "the time to give freely to the various aspects of civic administration, in particular the challenging problems of the Sewer Commission." Time is something Gus has always given. He served on the Draft Board for District #4 in World War II; he was a member of the Park Commission from 1936 to 1938 and Chairman from 1938 to 1941. He was a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals from 1941 to 1943 and has served as a member of the Sewer Commission since 1954. Always ready to take on extra duties, Gus has served on many special com-missions appointed by the Mayor. He has also found time to be a mem-ber of the Grand Jurors Association of Nassau County; Life member of the Elks and member of the Southwest Civic Association. Gus is proud of the progress the Sewer Commissionhas made with 90% of the Village now connected and by I960 the entire Village will be 100% connected to the modern sewer system. Gus is also proud of the four children he and Jeannie have raised in the 49 years of their marriage, not to mention their 19 grandchildren. Gus and Jeannie still keepthat 8-room house on Pine Street which may seem like a lot of house for two people but it often seems much too small when the children and grandchildren all come to visit. Gustav J. Berkel, Member, Sewer Commission KNOW YOUR DEPARTMENT HEADS Some people might think of Free-portas a reasonably small communi-ty but to Edwin C. McKeeman, Super-intendent of Sewerage operations, it seems awfully big whenyou consider that he is responsible for over 100 miles of sewer lines--the equivalent of a pipeline running from the Village clear to Philadelphia. Ed and his 15 employees supervise this vast oper-ation in which 3-1/2 million gallons daily flow into the treatment station south of the Freeport'Stadium. So basic is modern, sanitary sew-age operation to the health and well being of the Village that Ed has stu-died this subject, and advancements in techniques at Union College, Cor-nell University, New York Universi-ty, as well as at the State Lab in Al-bany. He has also kept in constant touch with sewage administrators in surr ounding state s and communitie s. Freeport born and educated--as is his wife the former Lillian Streeseman--Ed started his Village career working on the die sel engines in the power house back in 1925. He advanced to the point where, in 1943, he was manager of the Sani-tation Department. In 1952 when the Sewage Division was made a separate department Ed became the head of this new organization. Ed has been a mernbe.r .of Hose Company #4 since 1922. He was Chief of the Freeport Fire Department iii 1935.- A. charter member of the New York Sewage 8t Industrial Waste Association, he also served as President of the State Sewer Association, an organization of over 600 members. He is a member of the N. J. Sewage Waste Association anda member of the Federation ofSewage and Industrial Waste Asso-ciation, an international organization. Noting that Freeport had a main pumping station and 3 sub-stations for auxiliary duty, Ed points out that an $800, 000 improvement pro-gram is to be started shortly to increase the capacity of the plant to care for an eventual population of 37, 000. Ed feels this will keep the Village comfortably ahead of sewage requirements to meet anticipated increases in population. The McKeemans have one child--Jean, who attends Junior High-- and they live at 123 New York Avenue. * * * * * . Edwin C. McKeeman, Supt. Sewer Department

Adobe have contacted me by phone to discuss the crashing of RoboHelp.
We have established that the crashes occur when you move from one menu drop down to another (e.g. With the 'Tools' menu drop down open moving to the 'Window' menu crashes RoboHelp). If we open a menu drop down and then close the drop down by clicking above the menu item and then open another menu drop down RoboHelp does not crash!
As to the solution to stop this Adobe are still investigating.
I will keep you informed.
Thanks for posting the temporary workaround. That is not something that has been reported before on any operating system.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
Hi there
I too am surprised by this behavior. But something occurs to me here that you may wish to try.
I've always been personally annoyed by the menus that tend to play hide and seek. What I mean by this is that the menus only reveal a certain number of commands until you hover a while. Then the menus expand to fully reveal.
In the video below I demonstrate how to change this behavior so this doesn't occur.
I believe the default setting is for the "hide and seek" menus to be enabled. As I don't seem to experience the crashes you do and my menus are configured to fully display, and you claim that manipulating the menus seems to be the key, I'm wondering if this is why I don't see the crashes and if changing the behavior on your own system will bring you some much desired stability.
Please do try adjusting the settings and see if that helps things.
Cheers... Rick

Thanks for the suggestion Rick.
I will certainly apply this in future as the disappearing menu items annoys me too. Unfortunately though it has not resolved the problem and as soon as I move acrosss menu items, bang RoboHelp is no more!
Adobe are still looking into this and I have now sent them the installation logs. I will keep you updated.
Thanks again for the help
Has Duncan's temporary workaround worked for you? Just curious.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
In all honesty, I haven't tried it. I have another huge deliverable outside of RH, so I'm off on another tangent for the time being.

That's the same experience I had. Once I took that out of the equation, most of the problems resolved. Not all - I still get a few crashes from time to time, but most.

I have the same problem on Windows 7 laptops
I had a previous Windows 7 laptop and Robohelp 8.02 started crashing. When I got a new computer it was OK for a few weeks - but started crashing again a few days ago.
At first this was intermittent, and I thought I'd solved it by rebuilding the project (manually importing the topics), but that was not the case.
I am not allowed to run these magic cleaners...
Two questions
1. Is it a problem only on laptops?
2. Is one solution to run Robohelp in vmware?
How big is the CPD file?
I have RoboHelp 8 running quite happily on a 32 bit Windows 7 machine.
Any source control involved?
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
Like my esteeemed colleague Mr. Grainge, I too have been running RoboHelp 8 quite successfully on Windows 7. My machine is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. It's also a laptop with 4 gigs of RAM and a Pentium processor.
Cheers... Rick

.CPD file is 870KB. Re the CPD file, I use the option 'clear project cache (cpd file)' under options.
Re version control, we use TFS, but I have switched this off (taken the project out of version control), built the prject from scratch, to no avail.
I have no doubt that Robohelp can run sometimes happily on some Windows 7 computers. In fact (and I should have made this clear), it does seem to depend on what project I run, and even on where I run it: that is Robohelp crashed whenver I saved a topic, but when I copied the whole project file to a new folder, it ran quite happily (for a while)! The access rights on all folders seemed OK in the original, so it wasn't that.
For me, the issue is this: sometimes but not always, and for unknown reasons, Robohelp continuously crashes.
Is there a way - any way at all - that I can continue to use Robohelp?
I should also mention, I ran the MS system file checker tool SFC.exe (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833). It found no errors in my system files.
Could the issue be the depth of path?
A project that is in C:\MyProject can run quite happily but put that same project somewhere in your profile so that the true path is a mile long and you can have problems.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
I don't know what else to suggest. It seems like the only thing left is the solution IT will not allow you to run. I think my line would be if you will not allow this to run, what suggestion do you propose?
I'm sorry I cannot resolve this one.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
I am also running robohelp 8.02 on a windows 7 pro 64 bit. I am having the same problem with my menus, If you select a menu you must deselect that menu before selecting a diferent menu or robohelp will crash. robohelp will also crash if you select the same style to reapply the style. I have been running robohelp since robohelp 5.0. Now with my new laptop robohelp is very unstable. I am trying to run the health advisor as discussed earler it this forum and will post back to advise if it helps.
Hi there
You might try configuring the menus different than the default in an attempt to see if this is the culprit.

Well Frapdoodle!
I really hate to suggest this because it was suggested to me recently for another issue. But perhaps it will help.
If you change your Windows Theme to something fairly generic, does it help? I was having an issue and it was suggested that I change my theme from my pretty customized theme to a basic theme and sure enough it changed the behavior for me. I didn't like it much because dagnabbit, I *LIKED* my theme!
But it may be worth a try to see if it helps.

Thank you! Thank you! I have 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium on my new HP Laptop and am on a 30-day trial for RoboHelp 8 (used RH 5 some time back and now the company wants a documentation update). After turning off services and turning them back on one at a time, I determined the culprit was my Biometric Authentication Service (Mfg: DigitalPersona, Inc.). It works in conjunction with the Validity VCS Fingerprint Service, but the fingerprint service wasn't the one that was making it crash. After searching online I found that I could turn the Biometric Service back on after reading http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/addbuz/thread/15fff39 b-69a7-48f4-b932-58d4c330984e which makes several suggestions. This is what I followed:
Method 2:
Reconfigure HP Security Manager (HP SimplePass Identity Protection)*
A. Click on Start>All Programs>HP SimplePass Identity Protection
B. Expand Password Manager, and select Settings
C. Uncheck the prompt to add logons for logon screens option, click Apply, then restart the system
* This solution was provided by HP. We don't know what other effects they can expect from making the noted changes, and you may want to contact HP for more information if you chose this workaround and need more detail.
I do use the fingerprint service to initially log in, but not for anything else.
Hope this helps! If it weren't for this forum, Adobe would have lost a sale... Thanks again!

Please report the same to Adobe as a bug. That way it will be logged in their databases for things to check and/or know about that affect RoboHelp. You can pretty much copy and paste the info you typed earlier.
Link to the bug reporting form is in my sig.
Cheers... Rick

Tawni, did you ever figure out which service was causing your problems?
Suzi solved the problem with Biometric Authentication Service, but my PC isn't running that service, so I'm looking for another culprit.
In the meantime, I guess I will have to switch off the services one by one until I find the one causing the problem -- assuming that a service is actually causing the problems in my case!
If I find the culprit (or another solution), I will post it here.
Rather than going back and forth with "try this" now "try this" does RoboHelp create any error logs that I can examine to see why one of my projects crashes every time I save it? I've rebuilt this project 2x already and it works fine for a while, then one day decides to crash everytime I click Save, Save All, or CTRL+S. The changes are saved, thank goodness, but it's a PITA to have to wait for the crash to finish and then reopen every time I save. (It also seems to coincide with Windows OS updates, so I suspect some shared file is to blame.)
Yes, I'm on Win 7 64-bit, which isn't supported, blah, blah, blah. My question is regarding error logs that might be created each time RH crashes. If yes, where are they?

<PS>I've read and tried all of the suggestions in this and many other posts that list crashing problems. It's not a problem with:
Correction: CTRL+S does not crash it, so that's my workaround for now. I have not yet tried disabling services. I don't really have any extraneous services turned on. I'm on a work computer so there are somethings I have to leave running and I can't install any fancy utilities or anything like that.
Yes, I just now checked updates again and it is patched. The fact that 32-bit users on Windows 7 suggests that the fact that I am using an unsupported 64-bit OS, and that not all of my projects have the problem suggests that the 64-bit part isn't the issue. As I and other posters have said before, when I create a new project or recreate a project from scratch, everything works great--for a while. Then it gets this crashing problem. I have too many projects to maintain to rebuild them every month. I have just have restrain myself from clicking Save on the menu in this project and just use CTRL+S.
