More on manners.

Experts offers tips on nightlife manners.
Do agree? disagree? Any that you care to flaunt?
To me these were all common sense.
I disagree with "everyone stands until everyone sits". In fact, I hate when groups hover around empty bar stools that they are not sitting in, but aren't really leaving open for people to slide right in, either.
also disagree with the "everyone stands" rule - people get to sit as chairs become available - women first (though really I'm not sure why)
and disagree with dress codes - what you wear doesn't send "a message to the world about what kind of person you are." having that belief however does.
re: thimes
That might be good for an offshoot discussion. I definitely think it does send a message. Don't interpret that to mean I think you should dress up all the time, quite the contrary. But it does send a message. A lot of people think it "shouldn't" and I hear that a lot, but it does, whether you think it does or not.
re: rockandroller1
we'll never agree on this one, but I'm good with that - it doesn't for me - whether you think it should or not :)
Edit: Let me rephrase that. I guess I can see why people feel that how you dress causes people to have preconceived notions of "what type of person you are". I guess I've learned that it doesn't translate to "how well you behave or interact with others". And I have a serious problem with establishments that have dress codes, as if how you dress will somehow dictate how well you behave - or are they saying "we only want people that are willing to take on the outward trappings of this stereotype". It just doesn't work for me.
What do I wear to send that message of "what type of person I am"?
re: thimes
In certain circumstances it will make you appear to be disrespectful. In some those circumstance you might be be able to prove otherwise but to some the damage will be done.
I have a family member that showed up at our siblings formal wedding in polo short, athletic shorts and high top, dirty sneakers that were not laced and no socks. My (now) SIL still talks about years later as does her family. It is made even more obvious due to the family photos.
He dressed similarly for our fathers memorial service and worse left his hat on until my mother said to take it off. She took it as a direct slap, as did my brother. I can tell that every single person at those occasions questioned what kind of person his was.
Again, we are reminded often as it these type of occasions where we are able to take group photos. I have had many people ask who that "bum" was since we are all dressed up in the pics.
He is also morbidly obese which he used as excuse for not "dressing up". However he insisted on black tie for his own wedding and wore a top hat and tails. He did not understand why people didn't want to do that for an outdoor garden wedding at midday. He looked just as foolish that day as he did dressing poorly but made the rest, who took his request seriously, miserable.
re: thimes
Themes, I have the perfect story to support your argument. Back before I became a truck driver I worked in a metal fabrication facility in Reno NV. It was hot dirty work and I worked from 330 in the afternoon until 2 in the morning 4 days a week and we were off Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. we were paid every week at the end of our Thurs shift, and we would go out and cash our paychecks. more often than not I would go to a specific Denny's restaurant to have dinner/breakfast before I went home to sleep. I guess they had a new waitress who took one look at me and sat me in a closed section where she could keep an eye on me. I received the worst service I've ever received in that restaurant and called the manager the next day to let him know about it, but you should have seen her eyes when I opened my wallet in order to pay the bill. I am assuming that she knew why she only received a $2 tip and I never did see her on that shift again.
re: PotatoHouse
In your case your clothes probably were sending the correct message. Here is a guy who works in a factory of some sort and gets hot and dirty. The kind of guy who might enjoy breakfast at Denny's when he gets off work and who might leave a nice tip if the waitress takes care of him.
Waitress was to dumb or inexperienced to "read" it.
I've worked in factories and have done other hard manual work. There is a great deal of difference in appearance between somebody who gets hot and dirty at work and a bum who might run out on a check.
Of course when I got off shift at the plywood factory I frequently stunk so bad that the other customers would have complained if I had been within 50'.
re: rockandroller1
re: paulj
I do want to add that most of us are not black and white on this. We may want to be completely black and white, but we are not. I like to think that I don't judge people based on their clothing, and I try, but I have noticed that I do. I want to improve on this, but I have to be honest that I still do -- unintentionally.
That guy has a brandname powesuit. Oh, he may have a lot of money...etc..etc.
I think we may have mentioned in another thread. Why do medical doctors wear a labcoat in their office? There is no practical reason -- not this day and age anyway. But it has been showed that uniforms send a certain level of command and authority.
re: Chemicalkinetics
There''s a thin line between authority and pretension.
re: Chemicalkinetics
yes and the thought process behind school uniforms is that eliminates/reduces these type of jusdgements.
However as many parents of kids who wear uniforms will tell you the kids still are victims of status and the uniform does not leave them free of judgment. What it does is make the shoes/sneakers you wear, the back pack you carry, your notebooks/school supplies, etc even more "important".
Not wearing the "right" clothes is the most common type of bullying in schools, even ones with uniforms.
re: foodieX2
So, I guess the solution is that parents should spend more time teaching their kids not to judge and less time judging others?
re: MGZ
Wow. Wow. That is a very insight -- not saying that you are necessary correct, but definitely insightful. At the very least, worth thinking about.
Kids earn from parents -- good or bad. If parents are concern about judging other people's look and making fun of people's clothing, then their children can and will pick that up. Not to say that bullying is learned from parenting, but this is a very insightful view.
re: MGZ
No that is not the answer/solution because I am sure a number of these kids parents have done just that.
I don't think that once you get to your pre teen/teen years it matters what your parents are telling you and modeling every day. Adolescents are trying to figure out who they are and where they fit in and clothes are often what is used. She a stoner, she's brain, she's a drama kid-forten identifiend by how the dress. It's what many of them do. Doesn't make it right. It just is.
My parents taught me well and I still wanted to look and be like everyone else starting in middle school and thru my early high school years. It wasn't until my junior year that I developed my own "sense of style" but honestly looking back 35 years later it was still an effort to fit in/be cool and if I couldn't to be that than to be "different".
By college it started to matter less but it was also the '80's where "dress for success" and status symbols reigned. You were judged if you didn't research a company's culture before an interview or showed up at club with the wrong jeans.
re: foodieX2
<My parents taught me well and I still wanted to look and be like everyone else starting in middle school and thru my early high school years.>
Yeah, but you did that to feel belong, to survive. You want to be liked. That is NORMAL. However, you probably were not the bully. I was like that. My parents me well, but I still want brandname cloth because other kids have them. I waned to be cool. However, I did not make fun or bully others who did not. It is like: I wanted the brandname clothing or shoes to feel belong and to get accepted, but deep down I also know that it is not that important and therefore never made fun of others who do not.
This is, however, different from people who really do believe that "dress represent people". I think parents can influence on that level.
<ou were judged if you didn't research a company's culture before an interview or showed up at club with the wrong jeans.>
I don't remember that part or maybe I was completely stupid and ignorant about it.
re: thimes
Disagree about clothes. Clothes send a message whether you want them to or not. Right or wrong, they still do.
re: kengk
Thinking clothes matter is silly. I refuse to participate. Judging people on their appearance is predicated on the assumptions that you draw from 'em. If someone's wearing dirty clothes do you assume they are poor and unworthy or maybe were cleaning their gutters before having to run into town? Does someone's hairstyle really tell you much about 'em or are you drawing conclusions based upon your prejudices? At bottom, such assumptions are only one (really short) step away from judging someone on the color of their skin or whether or not they have the right genitalia.
re: foodieX2
Nah. I own a nice Brooks Brothers tux and three bowties. If dress is required/suggested, I'll wear it – been doin' so since my first prom when I was fifteen. Even wore it to a celebration for the current Vice President's reelection as a Senator. I might chuckle at a pompous guy who wore a clip on, but I'd never assume that the guy who was only in a suit was inferior to me.
At bottom, I'm good at a lot of things, have had over twenty years of formal education, but realize that there is always someone who possesses skills that I don't.* If they don't have a tux to wear to a wedding, it doesn't mean they deserve less respect as a human being or are somehow someone I should look down upon. All I'm sayin' is, I know people judge, I've been (wrongly) judged myself. I just think we should be better and avoid prejudging. You know what the old saying is about "ass u ming"
*I once had a really rich client, discussing what an ass Donald Trump was (after he ran yet another company into bankruptcy), note that he always realizes that there is always gonna be someone richer or smarter than you. "You might hold the honor for a day or two, but it can't last."
re: foodieX2
I honor specific requests and I don't prejudge. Each is in accord with refusing to elevate rule over reason.
re: foodieX2
I think there is a very different expectation when invited to "an occasion" (such as wedding and funerals that you mentioned) and going to a bar or nightclub (which is what the article was about).
For me those are two different discussions.
re: MGZ
" If someone's wearing dirty clothes do you assume they are poor and unworthy or maybe were cleaning their gutters before having to run into town?
If I were dirty from cleaning my gutters, I would clean up and change clothes before running into town. That's how we were raised. Guess the times change.
re: ttoommyy
OK, so that I understand. Let's say you're me. You've been up and down the twenty-five foot ladder and powerwashed four gutters. When you get to the fifth, you realize that you have a coupla missing screws. You then get down off the ladder, shower, change clothes, and go get the parts you need? Then go back and finish the work you were doin'? Would you do the same if you had just drained the oil outta your car and realized you were a quart short? That, my friend, perfectly illustrates rule over reason.
At bottom, I see no value to pretense.
re: MGZ
I misread your post. I thought your going into town was after you were done with the chores. Of course I would not shower and change if I had to run into town for a couple of minutes to buy supplies for the job at hand.
That said, I see people in my town sitting having lunch in nice restaurants in "work clothes," baseball caps and other inappropriate clothing for a respectable, sit-down restaurant. That I disagree with.
re: MGZ
You seem to be confusing "clothes send a message" with something else. Intentionally I'm sure.
Now; somebody has a little motor oil smeared on their face and they are buying motor oil at the store, what is the message? A guy who is changing the oil in his car or some worthless human being that we should all shun and ridicule because he has motor oil on his face and dead grass in his hair? Hmmmm.
re: kengk
"You seem to be confusing "clothes send a message" with something else. "
Nah, I ain't confusin' anything. My point is that clothes don't send a message, It's just that some folks choose to assume one from what they see, based upon their past experiences/ingrained prejudices. What if that same guy stopped to get a sandwich while he was out? Keep in mind, I've been that guy.
re: MGZ
It's interesting that we keep talking about "dirt" in this topic.
I find it hard to believe that seeing someone in a suit sends a positive message after AIG, Madoff, Enron, etc, etc, etc.
- like I said, this is one of those things that people either subscribe to or don't. And I wish people would type "I judge people by how they look" rather than saying "people judge", because that is what they mean when they type that but are using "people" to put the guilt elsewhere - as if we have no control over this (IMHO) :D
re: thimes
Well put.
re: thimes
re: thimes
AIG, etc., have nothing to do with it. People who wear suits may be of high character or low character. No one should attempt to judge a person's character by his suit. But if you dress like a slob, you're a slob. That much is evident. A restaurateur has the right to exclude slobs if he wishes.
re: GH1618
"But if you dress like a slob, you're a slob. That much is evident."
How so? Do you really subscribe to that notion for all encounters? Does that mean that if I wear a cowboy hat, jeans, and boots I'ma cowboy? Maybe I'm just stoppin' in for a bite on my way to a costume party.
"A restaurateur has the right to exclude slobs if he wishes."
Conversely, than, a restaurateur would have the right to exclude the overdressed if he wishes? I mean, is a "No Suits Allowed" policy permissible? (Morally, not legally - I know the answer to the latter.) If you want to endorse prejudice, do so, but be honest about what you're doing.
re: thimes
You're connection between suits and companies that had various issues fails to take into account that many of the places you listed didn't require suits. The guys I knew at the shops you mentioned rarely wore suits and often wore jeans to work. Business casual rules at many big companies.
re: Bkeats
So, then, they were criminals and slobs?
re: MGZ
I will add this short story to the mix.
About 10 years ago I was leaving for vacation but decided to come into the office for half a day to tie up loose ends. There was a "closing" taking place in the conference room and for whatever reason the client was rather upset demanding to speak to the owner/President of the company. After sending my VP/Office Manager to the conference room, with no success, I decided I would go down and see what I could to to sooth the situation.
As soon as I opened the conference room door and the client saw me dressed in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt, the look of utter disgust on the clients face said it all.
I view myself as the ultimate representative of my company and my employees, as such I portray myself in as formal of a manner as possible. Outside of the above mentioned story I have never gone to work in anything less than a suit and tie for 23 years.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm just a well dressed horses ass!!
re: jrvedivici
But, it seems you're proving my point. You may have been dressed like a slob, but you clearly are not.
re: thimes
A dress code is the prerogative of the management — a potential customer who doesn't like it can go elsewhere. Arguing about it would be bad manners, in my opinion.
You're wrong — clothes do send a message. Obviously, they will not be an exact indicator about "what kind of person you are," but they are an important part of the first impression you make. People will judge you according to how you dress, like it or not. If you are male, and keep your hat on indoors, I will think you a boor.
re: thimes
I take issue with the advice (for women) to wear heels. Per Peter Boyd, "...wearing heels never hurts." After a day in heels, it can hurt, so I'll probably be wearing flats, thankyouverymuch.
re: thimes
An athlete?
re: thimes
< they'll have to kick you out >
But sneakers are the best shoes to kick people in their heads.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Steel toed boots are much more effective.
re: jaykayen
THe heels thing shows how disconnected from Boston this is. The Greater Boston area, historically the center of the shoe industry in the US, was long (in)famous for its fondness for sensible shoes.
re: Karl S
*moves to Boston*
re: jaykayen
re: jaykayen
So why do all the ladies in my office building prance around in hooker shoes? Might explain why they're always sour
re: BiscuitBoy
Because some "rules" can ruin an otherwise great mood!
re: jaykayen
yes, all the peeps in the article are men, but if your heels hurt, your shoes don't fit right.
We all know—or have been—"that" guy (or girl) who's ruined a night out with the clink of one glass too many.
Wasn't this last statement from the linked article the overall perspective on advice for nightlife manners anyway?
For some it should be.
Experts? An expert is someone who couldn't get a job teaching. Think for yourself is the best advice.
re: beevod
re: GH1618
I think it really depends how one interpret "think for yourself". To me, (maybe just me), beevod probably meant what you said. We should think with common sense and observe the environment. If everyone is sitting down, then don't stand up. If everyone is standing up and waiting for host, then don't be the only one sitting down.
Observe and think, don't just rely on dead books for guidance.
re: GH1618
Quite right, GH! Well said indeed.
re: GH1618
"Manners are social conventions which, when observed, make interactions between people easier and more pleasant. People who insist on making their own rules are boors."
But, if one knows the rules and chooses to contemplate the purpose underlying 'em, is that wrong. As I noted on the other thread, should we have maintained the rule where only land owning, white, men were able to vote? Shouldn't we still be using fingerbowls at every meal? How do we determine which rules of etiquette apply when there might be a conflict? Do we go by what country we're in or what the nationality of the host is?
Elevate rule of reason if you want, but forgive us heathen who choose not to see the validity in that approach.
re: MGZ
< the rules and chooses to contemplate the purpose underlying 'em, is that wrong. >
That is an excellent point. But what if other people are stupid? No, I am serious. I remember reading an article that some of the American table etiquette rules are due to the fact that steel used to be much softer now (not as good) and it had real application and consideration. I cannot remember. I will post it if I can find it again.
Let's just say I am correct, then this is practice based on restriction which no longer exist. Yet if you don't follow it, other people (who knows less about the history and science than you do) get pissed off.
You know what. Let's just take your example. Neck ties. There was a time that neck ties have real practical application. None exists now -- which you and I know, but others may not. So now, you have people who are going to get pissed and offended at you for not wearing a tie -- for what?
re: Chemicalkinetics
As usual, my friend, you make good sense. I spose that's really the point - should we ever give up on trying to find more universal solutions, promulgate 'em, and, hopefully, make things better? In the end, we'd likely all be more comfortable.
re: MGZ
Here is what I wanted to quote. Published by Chad Ward.
"The rift started, by some accounts, with Cardinal Richelieu, chief minister to France's King Louis XIII, who was so disgusted by a frequent dinner guest's habit of picking his teeth with his knife that l'Éminence Rouge, as Richelieu was known, had the tips of the offender's knives ground down to prevent it happening. Always desperate to follow fashion, others in the court soon did the same. Whether the story is true or not, once forks began to gain popular acceptance there was no longer any need for a pointed tip at the end of a dinner knife to hold and spear the food. In 1669, King Louis XIV of France decreed all pointed knives on the street or the dinner table illegal. Not only were new knives to be made with rounded tips, all existing table knives were to be rounded off to reduce the potential for violence. The new style of knife rapidly spread to other European countries, including England.
By the beginning of the 18th century, knives imported to the American colonies had the new blunt tips. Because Americans had very few forks and no longer had sharp-tipped knives to spear food, they had to use spoons in instead. They'd use the spoon in the left hand to steady the food as they cut it with the knife in the right. They'd then switch the spoon to the opposite hand in order to scoop it up to eat. Our distinctly American style of eating continued even after forks became commonplace in the United States. Emily Post calls the practice "zigzagging" in her 1920s etiquette books. I like think of it as the American Shuffle."
re: beevod
and if thinking for yourself means arguing with a doorman about a posted dress-code, it's a fool's errand, dripping with arrogance.
i don't know of a single restaurant in boston that has a dress-code anymore. and many bostonians are frightfully casual, especially the men. however, certain bars and night-clubs do. it's management's choice. if you think it's ok to go someplace in a backwards baseball hat and pyjama bottoms, see where it gets ya.
re: hotoynoodle
"Like most top-end restaurants in France, La Petite Maison doesn't care a fig about dress codes. That's one reason that lunch here, in this London outpost of a famous Nice watering hole, is such a deeply enjoyable experience. Nearly everyone was dressed casually, and two large family groups made a happy noise in the centre of the room. "
re: INDIANRIVERFL
lol, i read it that way too, but having worked as a bartender for years each shift brought fresh hell of how ridiculously people can behave. before and after consuming alcohol.

9. Zoolander, 2001
This is one of the few times Ferrell is the bad guy throughout the whole film. He is very easy to dislike in this film while, at the same time, is hilarious. The majority of his humor comes from dealing with Ben Stiller's character. Stiller says a lot of dumb things throughout the film and Ferrell's facial expressions are too funny.

It is quite common in many countries for children to share their parents' bed. In the U.S. this practice is often questioned. In a culture that emphasizes independence, co-sleeping is feared to "spoil" kids, making them too dependent, needy and clingy.
Surveys show that 25 to 30 percent of American parents sleep with their children for all or part of the night, despite our societal prejudices. Many parents report great reasons for sharing the family bed: easier breastfeeding, more quality sleep for you and child, a more secure kid as a result of closeness and touching and feeling safe. But, there can also be drawbacks, such as wet sheets from accidents, less quality sleep for you if you can't get used to a restless child and in rare cases, even the danger of suffocation for your baby.
So, to co-sleep, or not to co-sleep?
Easy Breastfeeding:
When your child awakens with a need to feed, you are right there. You won't need to crawl out from under the warm covers, prepare formula and walk down the hall. There is no need for your child to cry and cry until you can make it to their crib.
Extra bonding for working moms:
You may be at the office all day, but your child will be comforted sleeping next to your warm body at night -- a soothing stand-in for daytime attention.
Feel More Rested:
Easy, half-awake breastfeeding prevents daytime grogginess that comes from being snapped sharply out of deep sleep. Plus, your sleep cycle can become regulated to your child's, so your waking and sleeping patterns won't be at odds.

Adblock[1] and Adblock Plus[2] are web browser extensions/open source programs for blocking or filtering advertisements or pop-ups on websites.
Adblock and Adblock Plus
Contrary to popular belief, Adblock and Adblock Plus are not developed by the same programmers. Nor Adblock Plus is the upper version of the program Adblock. Adblock is developed by indepented programmers.
The very first one is "Adblock Plus". Which has been developed by various programmers from the company Eyeo GmbH on 2006[3]. It was only an extension for Firefox. On 2009 independent programmer Michael Gundlach created an alternative program "Adblock" for chrome web browser which is completely unrelated to but inspired from "Adblock Plus"[6].
Adblock's Anti-Ad Campaign
On Aug 27, 2013 Adblock developers started a new campaign to get rid of advertisement.
The campaign simply planned to put an end to ads with raising over 50000 dollars.[4] In other words: with buying ads.
"One ad to end all ad" project rejected by most of the internet community. (on left). On the same day youtube user Ockeroid uploaded an animated parody of Adblock campaign video(on right).
On April 1 2012, Michael Gundlach turned "Adblock" into "Catblock" for April fools day. Ad images or animations had changed with pictures of cats or image macro series as known as lolcats. [7]
Site Ruin – Economical Controversy
Most websites doesn't block ad-blocking software usage. Although cases may vary from a simple banner suggesting disabling adblock solutions to negating website access.
For example, when visiting the popular videogame modding website gamebanana. the above image would appear in place of regular banner ads, encouraging users to disable their ad-blocking utilities.
In similar fashion. Users that venture in the flash animation portal Newgrounds would see a series of agressive-esque banners commanding them to turn off their adblock add-ons (see below) Although the anti-adblock banners only appear if said users nevigate the site using obsolete blacklists.
Other sites opt for more extreme measures, especially those related by file hosting or movie/series streaming. These measures include, but are not limited to, restriction of website usage, disabling certain characteristics, or even making it impossible the browsing on web page. Forcing users to disable their adblock programs.
Some Adblock Plus users noticed they couldn't access webpages due to anti-adblock scripts, and started creating threads in the official Adblock Plus forums asking how circumvent those restrictions.[8] Blacklist-Maintainers soon updated their lists making the Anti-Adblock scripts being not executed when the browser requests to server the contents of the page, but not just because these commands were forcing the disabling of Adblock-plus, but also because some these scripts were privacy and security threats.
Adblock's counterattack caused the webmasters of the sites involved begun to implement more sophisticated utilities on their websites, in order to minimize the by-pass attemps.

I have made Nigella's Redcurrant Slush sorbet, but as it churned in the ice cream machine it became almost foamy, doubled in volume and it turned out light pink in colour. Also after 3 nights in the freezer it was still very soft and did not harden at all. I skipped the Cointreau (so I could not blame the alcohol for the softness) and I use a Gaggia ice cream machine. Why does this happen and what can I do to prevent it? I would really like to have a bright red sorbet.

Serpentine Belt Service At Cambridge Auto Center In SAN ANTONIOPosted November 28, 2014 9:04 AM
If you've ever heard a squealing sound under your sedan hood, chances are it was your serpentine belt. Your serpentine belt is a long belt that's driven by your engine. It winds around several accessories that power important automotive systems in your sedan. Let's go over them.
First, the serpentine belt drives your air conditioning system. It spins the compressor that makes the cool air that takes the edge off the summer heat in SAN ANTONIO.
More importantly, the belt powers the alternator. The alternator creates electricity that's used by your sedan's electrical systems and also charges your car battery. Without the alternator, the battery will go dead in a few miles.
The serpentine belt may also run the pumps for both the power steering (some are electric) and power brakes (some use vacuum boost).
And, on most sedans, the serpentine belt powers the water pump. The water pump circulates coolant through the engine to keep it within optimal operating temperatures. On some SAN ANTONIO cars, the water pump is powered by the timing belt instead of the serpentine belt.
When they understand what it does, SAN ANTONIO auto owners realize that if it breaks, it affects a lot of systems. That's why auto manufacturers outline recommended replacement guidelines in the owners manuals. If this important maintenance component is not included in your owners manual, come see us at Cambridge Auto Center.
At Cambridge Auto Center in SAN ANTONIO, your considerate service specialist can perform a visual inspection of the belt to see if it has any cracks that signal the belt could fail soon. If the belt has more than three or four cracks every inch, has deep cracks that penetrate half the depth of the belt, is frayed, is missing pieces or has a shiny glazed look, it needs to be replaced regardless of age or mileage.
If it has lost a significant amount of thickness, it also needs to be replaced. Talk to your considerate service professional at Cambridge Auto Center. There's a special spring-loaded pulley attached to the engine called the tensioner pulley. Its job is to make sure there's a constant tension on the serpentine belt so that it doesn't slip. The spring can become worn and no longer provide the necessary pressure to keep the belt tight. At Cambridge Auto Center, we recommend SAN ANTONIO auto owners that the tensioner be replaced at the same time as the serpentine belt.
As mentioned, a squealing sound could alert you that the serpentine belt needs to be replaced. It may be loose if you hear a slow, slapping sound when idling your sedan.
All in all, the serpentine belt's is essential to the operation of your sedan. And it's not that pricey to replace at Cambridge Auto Center – so it's good to do so before it fails.

I Can See Clearly Now: Wiper Blade Replacement In SAN ANTONIOPosted November 21, 2014 1:49 PM
About 90% of our driving decisions in Atascosa are based solely on what we see. So having a good pair of windshield wipers is extremely important.
Most SAN ANTONIO drivers have experienced the frustration and fear of not being able to see clearly during a storm, or when our sedan windshield is just dirty. In fact, it's estimated that 46,000,000 motorists across the nation are driving with wipers that can't adequately clear their windshield in a storm.
It seems like our wiper blades are always at their worst when we SAN ANTONIO car owners need them the most. If that sounds like you, you've got plenty of company in the Atascosa area. 78% of drivers only change their wiper blades after the blades function so poorly that they become a safety hazard.
SAN ANTONIO motorists need to change their thinking. Instead of blades being something to replace when they fail, we need to consider wiper blades as a key sedan safety component. Then we'll stay ahead of the storm.
SAN ANTONIO auto owners really ought to replace wiper blades twice a year; in the spring and the fall. If you live in the colder parts of TX, you may even want to get special winter blades in the fall.
Winter blades are made to resist freezing. Speaking of winter and freezing Atascosa conditions, if your sedan has been sitting for a long time and the windshield becomes frozen, don't use your wipers to clear off snow and ice. That can shred your blades and may even damage the wiper motor.
Your wiper blades live outside in the freezing cold and blistering SAN ANTONIO sun. Over time, they become hard and brittle, and then tear. They also lose their flexibility and just don't clear the sedan windshield effectively. Worn wiper blades aren't just a safety hazard for SAN ANTONIO auto owners; they can also scratch their windshield. That may require replacing the entire sedan windshield – that's a costly consequence for neglecting such a small part.
AutoNetTV and Cambridge Auto Center recommend SAN ANTONIO auto owners replace worn blades right away. Your SAN ANTONIO service center can provide you with a quality replacement blade. At Cambridge Auto Center, they cost about the same as they would at the store – but installation is included.
Of course you also need washer fluid to help your blades do their essential work. Even though Cambridge Auto Center will top off the washer fluid with a full service oil change, it is a good idea to have some extra fluid at home. Bring it with you if you're heading out on a road trip.
Always use windshield washer fluid. Plain water, even that fancy French bottled water, just doesn't cut it. It can freeze in the fluid reservoir or on the windshield itself, making things worse. Besides, water won't clean your windows as well.
So follow these tips to keep your windshield clear and your eye on the road.

A Cold Day In SAN ANTONIOPosted November 12, 2014 11:29 AM
Most SAN ANTONIO auto owners worry about a breakdown or a tire blowout on a busy TX freeway but don't worry too much about failure of their air conditioning system. A breakdown at the side of the road can be a miserable and dangerous affair during Atascosa rush hour, but so can a long ride in a hot sedan.
A lot of SAN ANTONIO drivers judge their vehicles' air conditioning systems as "non-essential" and so may neglect them in favor of repairs and maintenance that keeps the sedan running. But preventive maintenance of an air conditioning system is simple and inexpensive, while auto a/c repair can be very costly in SAN ANTONIO.
Helotes auto owners should have the refrigerant in their air conditioning system checked regularly to ensure it is adequate and clean. Air conditioning systems often fail because air and water have contaminated the refrigerant. Air reduces the efficiency of the refrigerant, and water can cause rusting of the system's components. If your refrigerant is contaminated, the system should be evacuated and recharged. This will actually extend the life of your air conditioning system, preventing pricey repairs, and keep it at peak performance.
Inadequate refrigerant indicates a leak in the air conditioning system. Over time, seals in the system can crack, causing the refrigerant to leak out, reducing the efficiency of the system. Replacing these seals will keep your sedan air conditioning system at its best, and, again, will help you avoid more pricey repairs.
At Cambridge Auto Center, we advise our SAN ANTONIO customers to run their air conditioner periodically in the winter. This will keep the seals from drying out and cracking, saving them the inconvenience of this relatively minor repair.
Check with your sedan owner's manual or with your SAN ANTONIO service professional for information about how often your sedan air conditioning system should be serviced.
Another piece of good auto advice: if your sedan air conditioner isn't working or is starting to show signs of breakdown, NOW is the time to get it fixed at Cambridge Auto Center in SAN ANTONIO. Waiting will only increase the chances that you are in for major repairs and a significant repair bill.
On a final note, if you own an older vehicle, you should check into upgrading the air conditioning system. Vehicles manufactured before 1993 often contained a refrigerant known as Freon. The manufacture of Freon was outlawed in 1993, leading to an ever-dwindling supply, which leads to an ever-steeper price for SAN ANTONIO auto owners in TX. If your vehicle still uses Freon, you should have it retrofitted to use the new, EPA-approved R134A refrigerant. The retrofit will actually pay for itself by reducing the cost to recharge the refrigerant in your sedan.
Remember, preventive maintenance — of your entire car — will keep you on the road. And, in this case, it will help you keep your cool!

Drive Train - What You Need to Know In SAN ANTONIOPosted November 4, 2014 3:43 PM
One SAN ANTONIO automotive service issue that doesn't get much attention is driveline service. Drivelines don't get talked about very much around Atascosa, but they're very critical. First let's define what the driveline is:
Taking a small step back, the power plant is comprised of the engine and transmission. The driveline starts there and includes all of the components that transfer power from the transmission to the wheels.
That's not really a lot of components, but they handle the full force of the engine. Without the driveline you're not moving. So SAN ANTONIO motorists need to take good care of it. The driveline components differ depending on whether your vehicle has front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, all wheel drive or four wheel drive. For purposes of our discussion, we're going to have to oversimplify a bit.
If you are ready to have your drive train looked at, give us a call:
Cambridge Auto Center
9823 Fredericksburg Road
Call Us at 210-697-9600
Let's start with front wheel drive. The point where the transmission stops and the driveline begins is a little blurred with front wheel drive because the transaxle houses both the transmission function and the differential function. The half shafts that send power to each front wheel, come out of the transaxle. The shaft is connected to the wheel by a constant velocity, or CV, joint. The CV joint is protected from dirt and water by an airtight, flexible rubber boot.
So, Cambridge Auto Center driveline service would include properly servicing the transaxle and inspecting the cv boot to see if it's torn or loose. If it is, it needs to be replaced and the CV joint inspected for damage. Repairs may be in order. Besides visual damage to the airtight CV boot, you might hear a clicking noise when turning. Recommended maintenance for the transaxle and CV joints will be spelled out in your owner's manual or check with your considerate Cambridge Auto Center tech.
On to rear wheel drive. The driveline for a rear wheel drive vehicle starts with the driveshaft – that long tube that connects the transmission with the differential on the rear axle. Some vehicles in SAN ANTONIO have a two piece drive shaft. The shafts are connected to the transmission and the differential with big universal joints. Most SAN ANTONIO motorists have probably heard the term 'u-joints'. These joints can wear out, just like the CV joints in front wheel drive vehicles. You may hear some clunking or feel a jolt when shifting into drive or reverse – if you do, get your driveline inspected at Cambridge Auto Center in SAN ANTONIO.
The differential on the rear axle sends power out to each rear wheel through half shafts in the axle. The differential fluid needs to be drained periodically and replaced with clean fluid. When the seal on the end of the axle is damaged or leaks, the axle will need to be serviced. The routine maintenance item here is differential service. Be sure to check your owner's manual or SAN ANTONIO service advisor for intervals.
Now let's go on to all wheel drive. Remember that the difference between all wheel drive and four wheel drive is that an all wheel drive vehicle is essentially providing power to all of the wheels all of the time. The sedan may be able to shift more of the power to the front or to the back depending on where you need traction. All wheel drive vehicles are designed to work well on dry pavement. Even some high-end sports cars from makers like Lamborghini and Porsche have all wheel drive.
Some all wheel drive vehicles are designed to work well off-road in SAN ANTONIO, but all hard-core rock crawlers are four wheel drive. These guys thrive in mud, sand, rocks and hills – but they don't work well on dry pavement when they're in four wheel drive. So they have the option to shift to rear wheel drive only on dry pavement.
Most all-wheel drive vehicles are very similar to front wheel drive when it comes to the front end. They also have a center differential that transfers power to the rear differential. Connecting it all is a shaft from the transaxle to the center differential and another from the center differential to the rear differential. So all of the normal front wheel drive service is essential as well as service to the center and rear differentials.
Four wheel drive can be thought of as a rear wheel drive vehicle that can also send power to the front axle. There's a transfer case in the middle of the vehicle that can be shifted to send power through a drive shaft to a differential on the front axle. So SAN ANTONIO motorists need differential service for the front and rear differentials and for the transfer case as well.
The bottom line for SAN ANTONIO car owners is that the maintenance schedules are in your owner's manual. Your SAN ANTONIO service advisor can answer any questions you've got. If this is the first time you've heard some of this stuff – it's time to ask someone at Cambridge Auto Center if any of it needs to be done now.

Keep Your Cool In SAN ANTONIOPosted October 30, 2014 3:39 PM
SAN ANTONIO drivers rely on their car's coolant system to keep their engine cool. Coolant (also called antifreeze) mixed with water flows through your sedan engine and absorbs heat. The mixture then flows out to the radiator where it's cooled by air flowing over the radiator. From there the coolant/water mix circulates back through the engine to absorb more heat.
There's a reason we mix coolant and water. Water alone actually does a good job transferring heat from the engine. The problem is that water boils at a temperature that's easily reached inside your sedan's engine, so it can turn to steam which does not conduct heat as well and is harder to contain.
Also, if it's freezing outside in SAN ANTONIO, the water in your engine could freeze while your vehicle is sitting out in the TX cold.
So, if you remember your SAN ANTONIO high school chemistry, you'll know that a mixture has both a higher boiling point and a lower freezing point than either component alone.
Coolant, or antifreeze, is specially formulated to keep your engine safe in a wide range of environmental and operating temperatures in and around SAN ANTONIO.
Whenever your sedan is running, the coolant in the cooling system is working to keep your engine from overheating. When it's cold outside, the coolant acts as antifreeze to keep the fluid from freezing in your engine.
All that exploding fuel in your engine creates a lot of heat. Without coolant, the metal sedan engine parts would expand so much that the engine would seize up and stop running. The costly parts could be broken or warp so badly they would have to be replaced. It could even be so bad that the whole sedan's engine is ruined and has to be junked.
This is why it is critical that SAN ANTONIO drivers check coolant levels frequently and have their sedan cooling system inspected for leaks. Also your sedan vehicle manufacturer has a maintenance requirement for draining and replacing your coolant. These recommendations can vary widely, so check your owner's manual or ask us at Cambridge Auto Center in SAN ANTONIO.
The reason SAN ANTONIO auto owners need to change the coolant is that it has additives in it to protect the cooling system. As you can imagine, with all the heat, the cooling system's a pretty harsh environment. The additives keep the fluid from becoming corrosive and damaging the radiator and other sedan cooling system components. Over time, the additives are depleted and the coolant just has to be replaced.
Many SAN ANTONIO auto owners ask Cambridge Auto Center why there are different colors of antifreeze. It is very important that you use the correct type of antifreeze. The different types of antifreeze – or coolant – are different colors so you don't mix them up.
The car makers use different materials to make the cooling system, and they require different types of antifreeze to protect them.
So check with us at Cambridge Auto Center in SAN ANTONIO or your owner's manual for the right kind because using the wrong coolant can void the warranty for your sedan cooling system.

Deciphering the Cambridge Auto Center Menu BoardPosted October 22, 2014 5:07 PM
Let's talk about deciphering the auto service menu board. SAN ANTONIO, TX service centers like Cambridge Auto Center have a board that lists the routine services they provide. But some people don't know what these services really are unless they ask. Let's go down a typical list, in alphabetical order, starting with air conditioning service.
Feel free at any time to give Cambridge Auto Center a call at 210-697-9600 to learn of the many services we offer, or stop by our SAN ANTONIO, TX auto center at 9823 Fredericksburg Road 78240.
First remember that all of these services are recommended by vehicle manufacturers. They set how often or at how many miles the service should be done.
Air conditioning service involves purging the old refrigerant and capturing it for proper disposal. Then fresh refrigerant is installed. The fresh refrigerant will lubricate the system and will also help it cool better.
Alignment. Service centers like Cambridge Auto Center make sure all four wheels are lined up and track with each other. This reduces tire and suspension wear and improves safety and handling.
Battery service. Service centers like Cambridge Auto Center inspect the battery for corrosion, leaks or damage. Test the battery's ability to hold a charge. If the battery's still strong, clean it up. If not, replace it.
Brake service. This could be two things. A brake inspection to see if the brakes are working well mechanically and to see if the pads are still safe. If not, replace the pads and make any repairs that might be in order.
The other thing is to evacuate the brake fluid, clean out the system and replace it with fresh fluid. This is important, but often over looked.
Cabin air filter. The cabin air filter is the filter that cleans the air that comes into the passenger compartment. It works like the filter on your furnace at home. It gets dirty and needs to be changed often.
Cooling system. This is the cooling system for your engine. Replace the old coolant with fresh to protect your radiator and other cooling system components from corrosion.
Differential service. Every vehicle has at least one differential. They don't require service very often, so people don't think of them much. The differential transfers power from the drive train to your wheels. Drain the old fluid and add fresh lubricant.
Engine air filter. This filters the air that's burned in the engine. It also gets dirty and needs to be replaced often.
Fuel filter. This filter cleans the fuel before it gets to the engine. Like the other filters, it too gets clogged and needs to be replaced in order to maintain good flow.

Training Received by Technicians In SAN ANTONIO, TXPosted October 15, 2014 12:28 PM
When your car breaks down in the SAN ANTONIO, TX area, or just needs some routine service, it can make SAN ANTONIO car owners a little nervous. Because your car's so important to your life, you need to be back on the road as soon as possible. And with the problem fixed right the first time.
We've been checking into some of the vital training our SAN ANTONIO TX technicians receive, and we're very impressed. It's amazing how much knowledge and skill goes into diagnosing and repairing a modern car. So it's not like when your uncle worked on his hot rod over weekend.
Today there are four cylinder engines around SAN ANTONIO that make more power than the V-8's in luxury cars 20 years ago. A new V-6 Toyota Camry could beat Sonny Crocket's Ferrari in a race to 60 mph.
Our engines are more and more powerful and at the same time their MPG keeps inching up. And they're so reliable. This is all due to engineering. But the benefits come to SAN ANTONIO drivers at the price of simplicity. Modern cars are so much more complex from a mechanical standpoint that it makes your head spin.
Then there's the electronics. Some cars on TX interstates area have several networked computers controlling most of the engine functions and many other vehicle functions as well. SAN ANTONIO motorists take all of this sophistication for granted – but somebody has to fix it when it breaks.
It's a real challenge for the techs at Cambridge Auto Center and other SAN ANTONIO auto service centers to keep up. It requires a high level of commitment on the part of the auto technician and the service center as well. In addition to the training, there's the financial commitment to purchase the diagnostic and repair tools as well.
So where do SAN ANTONIO service professionals go for training? There're many sources. It's usually a combination of formal classroom training, training provided in the service center by auto parts and equipment manufacturers, on-line courses and home study courses. There are many independent certifications available all the way up to Master Technician.
And AutoNetTV produces monthly training for SAN ANTONIO automotive service centers called The Pro Channel. If you were to watch the Pro Channel segment on re-flashing the engine control computer, you'd be amazed at how much is involved: special software, hardware interfaces and a tremendous amount of knowledge and skill.
Service centers in SAN ANTONIO, TX have a lot of other resources available as well. No one can know everything, so service centers like Cambridge Auto Center subscribe to data services, technical libraries and even on-line communities that can help them with they run into a difficult problem.
It's like those medical diagnosis shows on TV. Here are the symptoms – what's the diagnosis and treatment. Diagnosis is every bit as much an art as a science. SAN ANTONIO car owners want everything to be simple, straight forward and cheap – and sometimes it just isn't.
So, be more relaxed next time you take your sedan in. SAN ANTONIO motorists can trust their considerate Cambridge Auto Center techs. You're in good hands. The more you know, the more comfortable you can be with your automotive service decisions at Cambridge Auto Center. Visit AutoNetTV.com to see more great auto tips videos about many service topics.
At Cambridge Auto Center, we provide quality automotive service including chassis lubrication, fuel filter and chassis lubrication.<br><br>

Wheel Balancing at Cambridge Auto CenterPosted October 9, 2014 4:49 PM
So you love your job, and your family life is great. Congratulations! You have achieved balance. But can you say the same for your wheels? SAN ANTONIO auto owners can tell if their tires are out of balance by vibrations at higher speeds on TX freeways. If one of the front tires is out, you feel the vibration in the steering wheel. If it's a back tire, you'll feel the vibration in your seat.
Tires and wheels are pretty heavy. When a tire is mounted on a wheel at Cambridge Auto Center, it is usually not perfectly balanced. So the service specialist will spin the tire on a machine to determine where it's too heavy. He will then place weights on the wheels in strategic locations to balance it out. When a tire is out of balance, it actually bounces down the road instead of rolling smoothly. Since the average size tire rotates at about 850 revolutions per minute at 60 MPH, it is actually slamming into the pavement 14 times a second. That's where you get your vibration.
Most SAN ANTONIO auto owners are surprised at how smoothly their car rides after balancing all four wheels.
Most high-quality tires sold in SAN ANTONIO hold their balance pretty well for motorists. They just get out of balance gradually with normal wear and tear. If you suddenly feel a vibration, it is probably because you lost a wheel balancing weight along the way. Definitely get a balance at Cambridge Auto Center in SAN ANTONIO if you feel a vibration, change your rims or have a flat repaired. Putting off a needed balance job leads to excessive and harmful tire wear, wear to your shocks, struts, steering and suspension parts. Wheel balancing not only improves your ride and handling, but also can save you some expensive repair bills and possibly an accident. Additionally, you will get better MPG.
Some Atascosa car owners have their tires balanced at every rotation. Others do it every other time. Check your owners' manual for your requirements, or ask your considerate Cambridge Auto Center service professional. Doing this will put you on the path to mechanical wheel balance.

The Cambridge Auto Center Guide to Saving Fuel: Car WeightPosted October 2, 2014 3:51 PM
The team at Cambridge Auto Center in SAN ANTONIO and TX car owners are all talking gas mileage right now. Better gas mileage. Fewer emissions. SAN ANTONIO car owners want to save the environment and their pocketbooks.
And we all know—or should know—that preventive maintenance will help maximize fuel economy. But is there something more SAN ANTONIO car owners can do? After all, some of us SAN ANTONIO folks can't cut back on our driving, and others would like to do more to economize.
Weight is one major enemy of fuel economy. The more you lug around in your vehicle, the more fuel you have to burn to get from SAN ANTONIO to Boerne. And that means buying more gas in SAN ANTONIO and producing more emissions.
Of course, your sedan's weight isn't negotiable. And you can't do much about the weight of your passengers. And this isn't an article about diet and exercise.
But look around your sedan. Are you hauling a bunch of unnecessary weight around TX? Do you really need your golf clubs every time you leave your SAN ANTONIO home? Store sports equipment in the garage. Load it when you need it and store it when you don't. Who knows? The extra exercise just might reduce the other type of weight in your vehicle.
The same goes for anything else in your car: make-up kits, music collections, extra electronics, spare clothing; whatever your particular extras may be. Pack it when you need it; store it when you don't.
Clean out your SAN ANTONIO. You'd be surprised how much weight you're lugging around SAN ANTONIO in plain old junk. Toss old papers, leftover food, and regular old dirt. Even if it's not a lot of weight, you'll feel better when you get into your car. A good cleaning is also part of good car care.
Now, don't toss stuff you really do need. You do need that spare tire—the one in your trunk. And a kit of emergency essentials is not a bad idea. But just carry around the day-to-day essentials. You can pack a more extensive kit and store it in your garage, then toss it in your SAN ANTONIO when you go on a longer trip, but you don't have to lug it around all the time. After all, are you a driver? Or are you a junk chauffeur?
Lose the junk and save some money in SAN ANTONIO.

Selecting New Tires and WheelsPosted September 26, 2014 9:12 AM
Some of us SAN ANTONIO car owners just love tires. All those little rubber hairs on new tires and the smell is wonderful. SAN ANTONIO drivers live in a great time for tires. No matter how you drive between SAN ANTONIO and Atascosa, where you want to go or the look you're after; there is a tire for you.
The same is true about wheels. The hardest part for SAN ANTONIO motorists is choosing from the thousands of wheels available at TX tire shops.
The team at Cambridge Auto Center may not be able to help with that, but we can help you get some things in mind before you consult with your SAN ANTONIO tire professional. Let's start with function and think about how you drive.
For example, maybe you have a large SUV but you don't drive off-road around SAN ANTONIO, so an off-road tread isn't important. Also, because you are not out bouncing over rocks in the TX backcountry, you don't need a high profile tire to protect your rims. So that means you can probably go with the low-wide look.
If you have a winter season with rain and snow or if you find you need better ice and snow performance, they make great, high-performance snow tires that won't make it look like you are driving a tractor.
There really are a lot of options for any given vehicle. SAN ANTONIO auto owners will find it very helpful to have a discussion like this with their SAN ANTONIO tire pro or the tire experts at Cambridge Auto Center when they need new tires. You can find the best solutions for your driving needs and to make improvements in ride or handling.
Picking a wheel that is the same size as what you are now running is important and pretty simple. But, it gets trickier if you want to upsize. Just get some help when you go bigger. All that tire and wheel still needs to fit in the available space. You do not want your tires to rub when you turn or hit a bump. SAN ANTONIO car owners also need to make sure their brakes and suspension bits will fit with their wheel of choice. It doesn't matter how great your car looks if it's not drivable.
Taller, wider wheels and tires probably weigh more than your stock shoes. And it's "unsprung" weight - that has a big impact on brake performance. The upsized shoes increase rotational inertia - if you go too big you may need to upgrade your brakes to compensate.
Another possible problem is an inaccurate speedometer. This happens because the number of rotations can change with the new wheels. Fortunately, speedometers and odometers are all controlled by the engine computer; so it is manageable to get it reprogrammed at Cambridge Auto Center to compensate for the bigger tires.
No matter what you are after: low cost, long life, high performance, traction or stunning good looks, your wheel and tire professional at Cambridge Auto Center in SAN ANTONIO, TX can help you identify your needs and give you a custom fit. With all the options available, you don't have to compromise. There is a tire out there with your name on it!

Excellent location!
Expensive breakfast
views from the room looking at the river was beautiful, very nice relaxing place. all in all a nice place to stay.
A few small things, light bulb out, iron cord was messed up and microwave timer still had time on it.
responsive staff clean room comfortable bed
food was subpar, actually returned may dinner fan was unbelievable annoying- no lo'/hi setting!! stayed on constantly
Comfortable, clean, spacious, friendly and welcoming. Lovely location overlooking the river, easy to access. Arrived back late after a long day out 10 mins before the restaurant closed. No problem whatsoever, they took our order, we went to our room to change, food ready on our return. Really impressive flexible service.
Ok, so it's minor, but, the shower furniture (shampoo/soap tray) is positioned at just the height and location (by the shower head) that when you drop something you will crack your head on it as you straighten up.... be warned!
