We take a look at Gigabyte's X79-UD3 Quad-SLI/Crossfire Motherboard-Part I Featured

With the apparent delay of Intel Ivy Bridge and of course the Z77 chipset that goes with it) we there is going to be a continued demand for the X79 chipset and the pretty much every flavor of the LGA2011 CPU. To be honest I think that even after Ivy Bridge there will be a demand as the replacement for the LGA 2011 CPUs will not hit the market until around Q4 2012 or even later. So with that in mind we are taking a look at what at first glance appears to be a low cost X79 motherboard from Gigabyte. However, once you take a look at it you just might begin to see the serious overclocking and GPU benchmarking potential that it has. Let's take a look at the Quad-SLI/Crossfire capable X79-UD3 from Gigabyte.

Sales truths or sales consequences? They're up to you!
Published: November 15,2004
Here are a few nuggets of sales truths and sales wisdom that will make you think, make you act and make you money.
MANY DECIDE. If you want the truth about the sale, talk to a someone who will NOT make the decision. This person will tell you the real story — and with the new information you possess, you can go into a meeting with a decision maker and have real answers.
LIVE BY PRINCIPLES. Being a person of principle means that you are self-guided — and in that self-guiding way, you will come to inspire yourself. I would rather do business with someone who is principle-driven rather than money-driven.
Money-driven people have a few bucks but always seem to be on the hustle — and you can smell them — just like spoiled milk.
Principle-driven people have wealth — but that wealth is not just in money: it's in their reputation, in the actions they take and in their personal pride. Moreover, it's not just about their success — it's more about their fulfillment.
People that live by their principles are much more likely to be fulfilled when they are counting their money. We all count our money. The question is: How do you feel once you know the total?
THEY BUY. QUIT SELLING. The salesperson needs to understand that sales are about the buying motive — not about the selling system. If the buying motive is not evident or uncovered, the selling system doesn't mean jack.
NOTE: It's not about your selling skills; it's about their buying motives.
GET READY. If you haven't researched the customer, don't make the sales call
NO RISK — NO NOTHING. No one wants to take the risk, but everyone wants the reward that risk brings. YOU can get them off the fence, YOU can eliminate the board from making the decision and YOU can make them more comfortable by identifying and eliminating the risk elements of purchasing from you.
NOTE: If the risk is price — the compensation is value.
FLIP CHART GOLD. I always use a flip chart when I have a new idea or I start a new project. The flip chart helps you define and outline ideas and concepts in ways you hadn't thought of before. As you write each point, you're spurred on to the next point — and you think "Oh, yeah" while you write furiously. The flip chart is the perfect medium to make a concept transferable to the prospect.
NOTE: Flip charts are cheap. They cost between $50 and $200. Are you waiting for the boss to buy you one? MAJOR CLUE: You have your own money. Start to invest it in the most important person in the world: YOU.
What's one idea worth? What's an idea that you capture worth? How many ideas have you lost because you didn't write them down? The flip chart captures. The flip chart communicates, expands and solidifies plans. The flip chart preserves so you can see what you've done and revise your plans.
The flip chart is not an option.
ELECTRONIC MAILING. Start collecting names and e-mail addresses of contacts, customers, prospects, vendors, people of influence, friends and anyone in your business world. The single most valuable asset you or your company can possess during the next 100 years is your e-mail mailing list.
GIVE VALUE FIRST. Take a moment and list your top 10 powerful connections. You know, the people who make things happen and can make things happen for you.
Now ask yourself: "What have I done for these people lately?" Be honest. If you haven't done anything, these are people you call every once in a while just to suck their blood.
People call me all the time and ask to buy my lunch so they can "pick my brain." My response is: "I have a $1,000 an hour brain-picking fee, so I'll buy your lunch." That stops all the bloodsuckers. (I make about $10,000 a year eating lunch.) How many people are willing to pay you to go to lunch?
RELATIONSHIP CHAIN. Establish relationships with people above and below your main connection. Remember, it's not just your buyer. You have to know all the people in the food chain — so if one person drops off the food chain, you won't starve to death.
RELATIONSHIP QUALITY. The quality of your relationships will determine the outcome of events when there is a problem or issue with price, delivery, quality or service.
NOTE: I'm NOT saying that when you have a great relationship you can ignore important issues and skate by. I AM saying that a great relationship will act as a buffer and allow all problems and issues to be resolved harmoniously. And just to put the power of the relationship issue to rest — it is the single biggest factor in determining re-orders.

I am in the process of installing my rebuilt 1989 jeep wrangler engine (I selected 1990 above because it was the closest, but truly my vehicle is a 1989) and I am facing a little bit of confusion when installing the pilot clutch/bearing. I took the old one out already however I did not take note of where exactly the bearing set in the crankshaft. Therefore, when tapping the new bearing in, I don't know how far to tap it in. Yesterday I just simply continued to tap thinking it would eventually bottom out, however it never did it just went from being a real tight fit in the crankshaft to being much too loose where you could push your finger against any one part of it and it would easily move. I'm just needing to know how far I need to tap this pilot bearing into the crankshaft so that it will work properly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. College starts the week after next and this is my only ride. lol thanks!!!

My fiance and I are starting to research honeymoon spots for february/march. Would this be a good, romantic trip or should we stick with places like the Taihiti? I am just trying to find out if the season is right and if it is a good trip for us right now. I have heard mixed opinions on this region for a honeymoon. Thoughts?
Thailand Honeymoon?
5 Replies | Jump to last reply |

Thailand is a very popular honeymoon spot. Compare prices with Tahiti - you can have a fabulous honeymoon for about half the price of Tahiti. Since you mention Tahiti, it sounds like you are interested in a beach resort for at least part of the time. February is better than March weather-wise.
Take a look here for some ideas for resorts:
I'm not suggesting that you book through them, but this is a nice list that gives a sense of the range of honeymoon-worthy resorts in the Phuket area.
Report Abuse
You might want to combine a beach resort and some time in Bangkok- unless you are die hard beach folks.
Report Abuse
Thank you! So February is that much better than March for the good weather in Thailand?
As for beach versus town, we definately want to do both. Any recommendations of how long in Bangkok, Chaing Mai and Puhket? Any other city we should go to? Should we day trip in the beach area or two hotels?
Report Abuse
feb weather would be cooler for sure... april is the most hot month of the year.
for bkk hotels for a honeymoon I suggest: peninsula, anantara riverside, plaza anthanee, Conrad, st regis..
for beach I suggest jw Marriott khao lak, jw Marriott Phuket, renaissance Phuket, Sheraton krabi or my special choice is amari vogue at krabi.
Report Abuse
Definitely spend time in Bangkok. endless things to do/see and fabulous shopping and eating. I'd suggest choosing a beach that appeals to you and staying put. You can day-trip, but a day trip to a lovely place like PhiPhi will put you off because it is crowded with other day trippers. Choose one place and stay put - more time to enjoy, less time spent packing and unpacking.
Is there something specific you want to do/see in Chiang Mai? If so, I'd build my stop in CM around that activity.

A sad commentary on what our world has become. Glad he's bringing charges, hopefully it will spark action and get more to come forward and be responsible, rather than face a black mark on their records.

They HAD their chance to come forward and be responsible. He gave them more than enough time, and an opportunity that he had no obligation to give them.
Now, for being part of that destructive mob as well as for rejecting his generous invitation to take responsibility and rejoin civilized society, they deserve the black mark. Some people have to learn their lessons the hard way.

Electric rates for Rockford area customers of Commonwealth Edison dropped six percent Monday, a total of $135 million. It is the second phase of a 20 percent rate cut mandated by deregulation legislation in 1997.
The rate reduction was negotiated by the Citizens Utility Board and others as part of the Electric Service Customer Choice and Rate Relief Law of 1997.
Phase one of the rate cut, 15 percent, was effective August 1, 1998. With the second cut Edison customers will have saved $1.25 billion through the end of the year, according to CUB.
Other states have embarked on deregulation of their electric industries, but nowhere are residential customers saving as much money as they are in Illinois, said Martin Cohen, executive director of CUB. And the lower rates we have today are locked in until 2005.
CUB reports Edisons rates have dropped to about the national average and the Midwest average. Before the reductions Edisons rates were substantially higher than most major metropolitan areas.
Today the highest rates in the nation are in New York City where a kilowatt hour costs nearly 18-1/2 cents. Edisons current rate per kilowatt hour is a little less than 9 cents with the second phase cut.
Given whats happened in California and other states, Illinois deregulation law looks better all the time, Cohen said. But there is still a lot of work to be done before we have a truly competitive electricity market that will benefit all consumers.

Knight Foundation Announces $5M Open Call for Ideas to Improve American Cities
What makes a city successful? Miami-based Knight Foundation aims to answer this question with their latest contest, the Knight Cities Challenge. Innovators across all disciplines are invited to propose their idea to improve one of 26 Knight communities, cities across the United States with an established network of support for the foundation's initiatives. Proposals should focus on three key levers of city success: attracting and retaining talent, expanding economic opportunity, and creating a culture of robust civic engagement in the chosen community. "No project is too small — so long as your idea is big," says Carol Coletta, Vice-President of community and national initiatives for Knight Foundation.

Sou Fujimoto Named WSJ's Architecture Innovator of the Year
The Wall Street Journal has named Sou Fujimoto the "Architecture Innovator of the Year." The 43-year-old Japanese architect, who first gained international acclaim in 2008 with the completion of the Hokkaido Children's Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation, has been lauded by the magazine for his "future primitive" structures that are, as Fujimoto's believes, creating opportunities to explore "more possibilities" for daily life.
"Fujimoto's goal isn't just to make spaces—the basic function of architecture—but to make people relate to spaces in new ways," stated WSJ author Fred Bernstein.
In response to Fujimoto's selection, WSJ has published a comprehensive article about Fujimoto's life and work. You can read the article, here.

Winners Of The 2014 RIBA President's Awards for Research Announced
The RIBA President's Awards for Research, established to "promote and champion high-quality research and encourage its dissemination to the profession," have announced the 2014 laureates. Spanning four categories – Master's, PhD, University, and Practice-Located Research – the winning theses and projects highlight the need for research across the profession to nurture innovation and strategic thinking. Ruth Morrow, chair of the jury and Professor at Queen's University Belfast, commented on the judging panel's "disappointment" at the lack of entries submitted from outside London.
The disparity between the six London based schools and those in the rest of the UK (of which there are more than forty high-calibre institutions) continually makes itself manifest in RIBA student awards. In spite of this, half of the awards and commendations given this year are for students studying at schools outside the capital; the remaining half were awarded to students of The Bartlett (UCL). Morrow hopes that "next year, in the 10th anniversary year of the awards, that more universities and practices from across the nations and regions will submit entries."

Yesterday, during the opening of a new photography gallery, Centre Pompidou president Alain Seban announced the contemporary art museum will soon open a new design and architecture gallery inside the famed Renzo Piano- and Richard Rogers-designed building. "Eventually, there should be almost no offices in the building, and we'll keep only the technical facilities that are strictly indispensable," said Seban.

TED Talk: My Architectural Philosophy? Bring the Community Into the Process / Alejandro Aravena
"If there is any power in design, that's the power of synthesis."
In this TED Talk Chilean architect Alejandro Aravena, the founder of ELEMENTAL, speaks about some of the design challenges he has faced in Chile and his innovative approaches to solving them. Emphasizing the need for simplicity in design, Aravena talks about three of his projects: the Quinta Monroy social housing project, through which he developed the "half-finished home" typology for governments to provide quality homes at incredibly low-prices; his "inside-out" design for the Pontifical Catholic University's Innovation Center UC – Anacelto Angelini, which reduced energy costs by two-thirds; and lastly his masterplan for rebuilding a resilient coastline in Constitución Chile after the city was hit by the 2010 earthquake.
Aravena also emphasized the importance of community participation in his projects, saying: "We won't ever solve the problem unless we use people's own capacity to build." Watch Aravena's full talk above and take a peek at some of his key projects below.

Light Matters: 7 Ways Lighting Can Make Architecture More Sustainable
Sustainable lighting design offers various well-being and environmental benefits in addition to economic advantages for clients and users. Although daylight provides a free lighting source, for most spaces the amount and time of daylight is not sufficient and electrical lighting is necessary. A focus on sustainability becomes essential for minimizing energy consumption and improving the quality of life. Even though efficiency has significantly increased with LED technology, electrical lighting is still more widely used. Often the ambition for renovations or new applications goes along with a higher quantity of lighting instead of finding a better lighting quality with an adequate amount of energy.
Read on after the break for Light Matters' 7 fundamental steps to achieve sustainable lighting.

UK's First Frank Lloyd Wright House Blocked by Planning Inspector
A plan by Stephen Brooks Architects to build the first Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home in the UK has been blocked at the appeal stage by a planning inspector, reports the Architects' Journal. Based on a 1947 design by Wright for the O'Keefe family in California, the project was the brainchild of Dr Hugh Petter, a Frank Lloyd Wright enthusiast who negotiated for eight years with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation before gaining permission to build the unrealised design in Tyntesfield Springs near Bristol, thousands of miles from its intended location.

The first tenant has moved into the One World Trade Center, making Monday, November 3, the official opening of the (arguably) tallest building in the Western hemisphere 13 years after the tragedy of 9/11. The "extraordinary moment was passed in the most ordinary of ways," described the New York Times, as employees of Conde Nast entered into the white marble lobby (taken from the same quarry that produced marble for the original twin towers) and headed straight to the elevators to start their work day.

Luther Bible College offers courses in Spanish
Luther Bible College in downtown Rockford has announced that it will be teaching selected courses in the Spanish language.
Two courses are being offered in Spanish during the fall term beginning Aug. 25 and will be taught by two Hispanic pastors. Discovering the Bible, Part 1 will be taught by the Rev. Carlos Catalan, pastor of El Redenter Iglesia Ev. Lutherana (Redeemer Lutheran Church, 827 16th St., Rockford). How to Study the Bible will be taught by the Rev. Gilberto Gonzalez, a graduate of Instituto Teologico, Chicago.
Dr. David L. Powers, president of Luther Bible College, said a shorter course of study taught in Spanish is being considered where a student could earn a certificate in Bible knowledge. Such a course of study, said Dr. Powers, would be attractive both to pastors and lay people, such as Sunday school teachers, congregational leaders, and those wanting a structured approach to their personal development in the Christian faith.
The courses will be taught at the same level with the same requirements as the regular curriculum, Powers said. To assist the older student, we may use more audio-visuals in class lectures and use a student workbook approach. We want the student who may be unfamiliar with the formal classroom to make the adjustment successfully and finish the course with a good sense of accomplishment.
Luther Bible College is in downtown Rockford at 625 E. Jefferson St. Students represent a wide range of religious tradition. For more information, call 961-9673 or visit the Web site at www.LutherBible.org.

JBL Professional Introduces Control 25AV-LS Loudspeaker For Life Safety Applications
NORTHRIDGE, California â Delivering added functionality for applications where audio is critical to security and safety, JBL Professional has introduced the new Control 25AV-LS loudspeaker. Designed for applications where the music playback loudspeaker system also serves as the life safety system, the Control 25AV-LS (and the Control 25AV-LS-WH in white) is UL listed under UL1480/UUMW as a Fire Protective Signaling Speaker.
With powerful and highly consistent performance, the Control 25AV-LS is based on the successful Control 25AV loudspeaker. Like the Control 25AV, Control 25AV-LS features a 60W multi-tap transformer with 8 ohm bypass, InvisiBall mounting and a magnetically shielded woofer. With the Control 25AV-LS, system integrators now have a model for fire alarm, voice evacuation, or life-safety applications requiring a professional-quality compact loudspeaker, as well as for other applications where code may require that surface mount speakers carry a UL Listing.
âBecause we were able to develop the Control 25AV-LS from an existing model in our product lineup, JBL was able to deliver this new loudspeaker to the market very quickly,â? said Rick Kamlet, Senior Director, Commercial Installed Sound, JBL Professional. âHowever, no shortcuts were taken, as the Control 25AV-LS successfully withstood a rigorous safety agency approval process.â?
The Control 25AV-LS features a paintable aluminum grille. Coating the woofer in polypropylene and terminating its circumference in JBLâs WeatherEdge⢠a seamless, butyl rubber extension of the woofer surround, protects critical transducer elements. The polycarbonate tweeter diaphragm is reinforced with a thin film of titanium for added rigidity and endurance. Nickel/zinc rust-resistant terminals ensure a secure input connection. JBLâs exclusive SonicGuard overload protection is virtually inaudible to the listener, ensuring reliability while providing full fidelity sound.

Brussels' solution to eurozone sovereign debt crisis 'echoes Ponzi'
- 30 September 2010
The European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) hopes to provide a financial safety net for those Eurozone members being hammered by markets unconvinced that they can deal with the problem of high budget deficits and debt.
Countries the markets are most concerned about include Spain, Greece, Portugal, Italy, and, increasingly, Ireland. The seriousness of their situation was underlined earlier this week by the wave of anti-austerity demonstrations and strikes across Europe.
The idea is that the Euro €440 billion facility can be tapped at low cost by a eurozone member, via the European Central Bank, if that country's borrowing costs rise to unfeasible levels because of the market's wariness over its ability to deal effectively with high deficits and debt.
The EFSF, comprising funds raised through a bond issue, was awarded a triple A rating "with stable outlook" by rating agencies Fitch, Standard & Poor's and Moody's last week.
Jamie Stuttard, head of European and Fixed Income at Schroders, however, is unconvinced by the rating, adding that the "stable outlook" conclusion reached by the agencies is "incongruous" with the fundamental data on the creditworthiness of each of the guarantor countries.
Stuttard says all eurozone countries are on track to breach the Stability and Growth Pact this year. The Pact, agreed in 1997, aims to enforce fiscal discipline among eurozone members through agreed criteria such as an annual budget deficit of no more than 3% of GDP.
The breaching of the Pact will be a "poor result" for 2010, says Stuttard, adding: "We have a situation in which every single country is borrowing more – not only more than was borrowed in total debt stock last year, but more than has been enshrined in eurozone treaties. How can that possibly be called stable?"
The eurozone members' guarantees for the EFSF are in proportion to their contribution to the paid-up capital of the European Central Bank, plus a further 20% to ensure that the fund will be able to repay creditors if one euro-zone government cannot honour its guarantee.
Stuttard is concerned about the guarantee structure for the EFSF, with the creditworthiness of issues particularly sensitive to changes in the triple A ratings of countries like Germany, France and Netherlands.
In this respect he believes France is the potential Achilles heel over the next few years, pointing out that the European Commission has forecast France's annual deficit to be higher than Portugal, Italy or Malta in 2010 and that the country has not balanced its books since 1974.
Moreover, President Sarkozy's attempts to engineer Thatcher-style structural reforms have met with overwhelming popular resistance and studies suggest post-retirement obligations facing the French state put the country's finances in one of the worst consolidated positions in Europe.
The EFSF is seen by eurozone politicians and ratings agencies as the solution to their problems, a means of drawing a line under the eurozone debt crisis. Indeed S&P says it considers the facility to be the "cornerstone' to the EU's strategy to restore financial stability to the eurozone sovereign debt market. "Yikes!" retorts Stuttard. "How about improving the fundamentals as a cornerstone of restoring financial stability!?"
More broadly, Stuttard is worried about some of the conceptual implications of the EFSF. He feels markets should have learnt by now that the era of implicit guarantees - the buying of bonds of failed bond issuers because the bank, company, country in question is in some way too big to fail – is over as an investment thesis: "There is no longer the financial appetite or political appetite to bail-out every failed issuer."
Indeed the underlying operational premise of the EFSF, the idea of issuing debt to bail out debt is "clearly circular" and conjures up for him the spectre of Charles Ponzi, one of the greatest swindlers in American history.
The term 'Ponzi scheme' is attributed to his activities and describes any scam that pays early investors returns from the investments of later investors.

Hello everyone, I was wondered whether taking a plane or train between these 2 Nordic capitals is ideal? I am considering the cost and the time. While the flight is about an hour the train is 5, though I know the flight time should include transit between airport and city in both places. Has anyone traveled this route by train, is it scenic and worth the time investment? I will be there in early September.

I've done it Between Stockholm and Copenhagen in NOVEMBER. Weather was pretty much overcast and by the time we reached Copenhagen it was raining.
Rolling stock was in good condition and aboard internet was fairly fast.
As to the scenery..LOTS of fir trees for sure but certainly IMO nothing really memorable.
Yes your potential air trip should include the time for transport to and from the airports, the security, the luggage restrictions, etc.
I assume if you DO the rail trip you'll book it directly on-line through Swedish Rail...do NOT use RailEurope since you'll likely have a ticket mark-up as well as shipping charges.
Report Abuse
We flew since it les expensive and it was so easy to get to and from the Stockholm airport on the Arlanda Express train. Also used train to city center Copenhagen.
Report Abuse
Recommend the choo-choo....It's a relaxing, comfortable ride...city center to city center. We enjoyed it...we also used Swedish rail if I recall.
Report Abuse
I love traveling from city center to city center by train, but the tickets were $150+ vs. a $60 flight... I think the plane might win on this one from a sheer fiscal perspective, I've taken the train to/from Kastrup and it's only about $4 one way... Not sure about Arlanda, but it can't be so cost-prohibitive as to make a $150 one-way train ticket feasible.
Report Abuse
The price of the train varies depending on how early you book, which day of the week you travel, and how you book. On the Swedish railway website - http://www.sj.se/start/startpage/index.form?l=en - you can buy an adult single ticket for as little as 148 SEK, about $22.
Report Abuse
I am looking mid-week in September... and $22 would be great! I need you be my travel agent because I cannot seem to find such a low fare! I would prefer the train, as I do find a train ride to be incredibly therapeutic and relaxing in the middle of a busy trip through Europe, which all of my trips seem to be, for better or worse!
Thanks for the advice!
Report Abuse
You probably can't book yet for September. Where are you getting such a high price?
Go to http://www.seat61.com/Sweden.htm read what he says about booking tickets for Sweden, and follow his link to the railway web site.
Report Abuse
KW..looking at my journal, we paid equiv. of $26 ..so the $22 seems likely. I can't imagine $150.
Report Abuse
You can book only maximum 90 days out. Last year, we took the train from Copenhagen to Gothenburg and then a week later from Gothenburg to Stockholm. I got very low fares for both. We went 2nd class both times, [and it was fine]. Highly recommend it. Way easier than taking flight I think as you go downtown to downtown.
Report Abuse
Thanks for all the advice! I think I am definitely going to plan on the train. I think I was getting such high quotes because I was trying to book too far in advance!
Report Abuse
I would do the train just for comfort. The scenery is lots of evergreens and scrub oaks - but there really isn't a lot of scenery going by air either. If you check in advance you may find lower train fares - and definitely don;t use Eurail.
Report Abuse
I have travelled this route many, many times and my vote goes definitely to the train. As adviced by others, don't book your train ticket now, wait until 90 days prior to your date of travel and you will get a heavily discounted ticket. Be aware though that this ticket will be neither changeable nor refundable. But so is also the case with discounted air tickets. The train is so much more comfortable than flying and only takes 1 hour more if you consider transfer times to/from airports, check-in and security procedures. Crossing between Denmark and Sweden on the Öresund bridge is spectacular. Apart from that the scenery isn't but the comfort of the train wins.
In my opinion the only reason for flying is if you haven't been able to book a train ticket well in advance as flights then tend to be cheaper than the train. When going for the cheapest air fares, usually found with Norwegian Air Shuttle, you have to pay extra for check-in luggage and costs add up pretty quickly anyway.
Report Abuse
thanks all, i'm definitely going to go with the train, and i'm just going to wait and buy in advance.

There is a train departing Copenhagen this Saturday at 08:37, arriving in Stockholm 13:50. Price for a ticket in first class is right now 548 SEK (85 USD). Direct train, no changes en route.

Cheapest flight with Norwegian Air Shuttle is 661 SEK, departing Copenhagen at 11:10, arriving at Stockholm/Arlanda at 12:20. Extra charge for checked luggage.
Cheapest flight with Scandinavian Airlines is 747 SEK, dep 10:20, arr 11:30.

Good luck trying to buy an online ticket from SJ directly unless you live in Scandinavia! I haven't had any luck booking online (apparently they routinely block foreign credit cards) and they said the only way to book is to call them. However, I don't have an international calling option on my US-based cell phone. When I explained my challenges to the SJ folks via email, they said I should just try to find someone who lives in Sweden who can purchase the ticket for me.
Seriously? It's 2012...online international payment is not a new concept.
Report Abuse
The SJ web site is unfortunately known to work more or less randomly with foreign credit cards. For some people it works, for some it doesn't. However, a lot of people have reported that they have been more successful when buying tickets at Veolia's web site. SJ and Veolia are two different companies but they both sell tickets for each other's trains. You will get the same price for a SJ train at their web site as you will get at SJ's site.
Try this web site if your transaction won't come through at SJ's web site: http://bokatag.se/en/
Good luck!

Well, my Dad and I managed to purchase online tickets from SJ, but we are from New Zealand (don't really know why that would make any difference). We just printed out the tickets and saved the PDF with the tickets on it. We booked the 90 day in advance tickets (not the dirt cheap ones, the next model up so that we can rebook them in case of emergency). We are quite looking forward to the train journey, flying is too boring.
Report Abuse
Maybe you have good karma!
There are actually lot of complaints about the SJ web site and I have the feeling that it is usually US credit cards that doesn't work. For some reason.
Agree, train is so much better than flying! No security checks and you can bring as much liquid as you want and I even find a dense pine forrest more scenic than clouds.
