2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee has trouble starting.
My Grand Cherokee has trouble starting up from cold. The first time I try to turn the engine over, it just won't start. Then when I try the second time, it ALWAYS turns over. This has been going on for 3 months now. I never have any engine problems, it just doesn't want to start on the first try. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

floridadog Posts: 4this problem just started a week ago,i tryed to start it and it cranked very well but starts after i try several times and when it does start it sputters for about 15 sec's then runs well after that. i had the codes checked and no codes but with further checks found out carbon buildup!!! a mechanic friend suggested seafoam in carb. and gas tank. this did not cure the problem, could it be the fuel filter? thanks for any help with this problem,when it starts everything runs fine.
floridadog Posts: 4my jeep limited just started acting up since it was new! when i start the engine it takes several times 3-4 and then slowly starts up and after 15 secs starts running normal. i added some seafoam to gas and oil but it made no impact.
i was wandering if anyone with this engine type v-8 has experienced this.
its been acting like this for about a week. could it be the gas filter clogged?
thanks for any replys on this. -
jsen Posts: 1I have had the same problem for about a year now (starts the second or third time every time and once it is running no problems). I did my plugs, but not my ignition coils. It seemed to help, but it did not fix it completely. Did you change your ignition coils or the spark plug wires?
I have also read a lot of suggestions for replacing the crank position sensor for the same problem as well. Has anyone tried that? -

01jeepgrandc Posts: 1I had the same problem for about 1.5yrs. It started out as cranking after turning over about 5-7 times the first time but if I shut it down and crank it up again, it would fire right up.
In the beginning I could let it sit (after shutting down) for about 30min and it would still crank right up. However over time, I couldn't shut it down and run in the store for 5 min without it having trouble cranking. I took it to a mechanic and as I've read in all the forums, he suggested it was the fuel pump. $550 later it was not the pump. He cleaned the injectors cause he said they were clogged and that didn't solve the issue. I finally just took the jeep since he didn't have a clue of what the issue was. I replaced the fuel filter, crank shaft position sensor, temp sensor, plugs, and nothing worked. Finally I read an article that mentioned leaky injectors. I did the poor man's test but didn't have a leak. I did however think it was an injector issue, maybe clogged or failed. So I purchased on injector from O'Reilly's for about $40, took the injectors out and noticed all were shiny except #6, it was a dull color. I replaced that this weekend and the jeep cranks every single time just like new.
I have seen so many articles with people having the same issue but the thread would die off with no solution noted. I hope this fix will be able to help you guys and hopefully save you some money and offer a solution that doesn't take 1.5 yrs to come by.

Pamela RiemenschneiderDean Liere (left), Syngenta watermelon portfolio manager, and Craig Mathis, program manager, display the company's new Exclamation seedless watermelon variety at the National Watermelon Association convention in San Antonio.SAN ANTONIO — Syngenta punctuated its seedless watermelon category with a new variety designed to please both growers and retailers.
The Exclamation seedless watermelon joins the company's lineup as a late-season variety with firm flesh — a bonus for fresh-cut watermelon.
Craig Mathis, program manager for the Greensboro, N.C.-based company, said the variety offers a different genetic pool for growers, and complements other varieties in production. That includes the company's popular Fascination variety, now in its fourth season of production.
The Exclamation has a deep green skin, which appeals to retailers, Mathis said.
It's also available as a Full Count Deuces companion transplant, an option which helps growers reduce labor costs and keep the transplant process faster and cost-efficient.
The Deuces trays offer 3:1 seedless to pollenizer ratios, and help reduce errors in the field.
"In the next 3-5 years, you'll see the industry go this way," Mathis said.

Cleveland/Bradley Keep America Beautiful presents the award quarterly to a local company or organization that has done its part to keep the community clean.
Joanne Maskew, KAB executive director, said what cemented the group's choice for this quarter's award was how the "new" Whirlpool facility was built and the environmentally friendly practices that have been implemented there.
"You have done wonderful things here," Maskew said to a group of staff gathered outside to accept the award. "We love this new facility."
Dicky Walters, plant leader, said the plant's focus on environmental issues played a part in being chosen for the award.
Before the White Glove Award had been accepted, the plant's staff was also recently told it had been given the designation of being LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certified by the U.S. Green Building Council, said Walters.
He also pointed out this is the first time Whirlpool has received the White Glove Award.
"We're excited to have received it," Walters said.
Tim Edwards, manager of environment, health and safety, said the way the plant was designed makes the new plant more energy efficient than the previous one.
A white-vinyl roof reflects heat to keep the plant cooler, he said. More windows means less light has to be used during the day, and having a parking lot made of concrete instead of another material also reflects light and stores less heat, he added.
In addition to changes in the facility itself, Edwards said he believed employees' mindsets on reducing environmental waste have changed as well.
"With the new building comes a new culture," Edwards said. "We are recycling more materials."
Edwards added that one of the facility's future goals is to get to the point where none of the waste produced there makes it to landfills.
Whirlpool will keep the traveling White Glove Award, which includes a real white glove underneath the glass of a picture frame, until it is time for KAB to prepare it to be awarded to a new company or organization.
The two most recent White Glove Awards before this one have gone to Procter and Gamble's local Duracell plant and the Long-Term Recovery Organization.

10 Things I Won't Miss About The Brewers
Baseball October 13th, 2009
We've decided against doing a long, season retrospective post about the team. There is simply too much to talk about. For instance the pitching staff deserved its own post. Prince Fielder probably deserves his own post. So we're not done writing about the Brewers, not by a longshot. That being said, there are a few things that I am not going to be writing about. Things that bothered me all season long that I am so happy we don't have to put up with anymore. Things like Anthony Witrado and The Happy Youngster. Things like this:
- Tom Haudricourt's Twitter: Tyler Maas covered this excellently over the summer, but it needs to be reiterated. This was the most depressing thing to read about the Brewers all season. How anyone could hate watching the Brewers play baseball so much and be employed to write about it, I'll never know. The only thing worse than his constant complaining about the Brewers is his attempts at humor. Leave it to the professionals buddy. In his defense it's not like he just hates the Brewers, he hates his alma mater too. Read the rest of this entry »

Former Daley bodyguard questioned by Koschman special prosecutor
By MICHAEL SNEED email@example.com December 5, 2012 7:28PM
David Koschman (left) and Richard J. "R.J." Vanecko

Updated: January 7, 2013 1:30PM
The Koschman case . . .
Sneed hears a former bodyguard for Mayor Richard M. Daley has been questioned by the special prosecutor's office investigating the killing of David Koschman, who allegedly was punched by Daley's nephew, R.J. Vanecko.
◆ The line of questioning: Did the mayoral bodyguard, who has a relative involved in the Koschman case, chauffeur around Vanecko — who was indicted this week on a charge of involuntary manslaughter for the 2004 death of 21-year-old Koschman of Mount Prospect?
◆ Backshot: The bodyguard was removed from the mayoral detail by Mayor Rahm Emanuel and is now part of a federal discrimination lawsuit filed by 11 former white and Hispanic mayoral bodyguards who claim they were dumped, yet black officers with less experience and seniority were retained. The suit claims the city broke rules against racially and politically motivated hiring.
The Vanecko file . . .
Sneed is told that Vanecko, who returns to Chicago from his home in California for his arraignment Monday, has intermittently sought and held jobs on movie sets but "is kind of a bust -out, unable to make enough money to support himself," according to a Sneed source familiar with him.
Abbey blabby . . .
Word is that the creators of the hit Brit TV series "Downton Abbey" are looking into merchandising housewares and crockery of the period used on the set. Hmmm. How about the corsets?
The Romney file . . .
If you are wondering what former GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney was buying at Costco — in addition to foodstuffs — the multimillionaire businessman was shopping for cheap Christmas wrapping.
Cop shop . . .
Please note our oops! Sneed's fingers were typing so quickly we substituted the number "9" with the number "5" when referring to the police district with the largest shooting increase in the city this year in our Wednesday column on the shakeup in the police department.
Cabinet chat . . .
Sneed is told that President Barack Obama definitely wants a Lincolnesque "Team of Rivals" atmosphere in his cabinet . . . well, sort of. And for that reason Obama just chatted with former Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel from Nebraska, who co-chairs Obama's Intelligence Advisory Board, about a possible place in his Cabinet — adding fuel to the rumors that Hagel may be considered for secretary of State or Defense.
The Ax man . . .
Mustache countdown!!!! Former top Obama political strategist David Axelrod, the man with the 40-year 'stache, has 24 hours to go before he shaves it off on the "Morning Joe" show Friday. Axelrod promised he would lose the broom if he could raise $1 million for CURE, an epilepsy research foundation.
"The reality is beginning to stare me in the face!" chirped Axelrod to Sneed. Axelrod claims he may grow it back depending on wife Susan's edict.
The Pitt stop . . .
The latest twaddle via the Aussies' Herald Sun newspaper is an invite dispatched to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to attend the wedding of Pitt's ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, to actor Justin Theroux. The paper said it was Theroux's idea to show there are no hard feelings between the couples.
Lost & found . . .
A police bloodhound named after Kelli O'Laughlin, a 14-year-old girl who was murdered in her Indian Head Park home in 2011, just gave the girl's mother Brenda an early Christmas gift.
◆ To wit: The sheriff's police bloodhound, who has been in training to find missing people, found a lost and severely injured man in a south suburban Cook County forest preserve within six minutes of being released.
◆ O'Laughlin, who had given the dog a medallion to wear when she worked, was stunned — but not surprised when told what "Kelli" had done.
◆ Translation: O'Laughlin had been looking for a cross that day that she hadn't seen since her daughter's death — and she found it shortly before the bloodhound had saved the life of the missing man.
◆ Quoth O'Laughlin to the police: "I'm taking it as more than a sign."
Sneedlings . . .
Thursday's birthdays: Judd Apatow, 45; Gov. Andrew Cuomo, 55, and JoBeth Williams, 64.

text: I wear these shoes instead of trainers, on a day to day basis, and I find them very comfortable. They're reasonably light to walk in, but have good grip. (Watch out for all the dirt that gets trapped in the tread!) Size-wise, they're very roomy around the toes. Personally, I'd prefer something a little sleeker in appearance to make them more feminine, but perfect shoes are hard to find, and there's not much else to fault in these ones. I had to return the first pair which I ordered in my regular size as they were just too big. A half size down was better although still with space to spare. I could perhaps have gone down another half size but I use orthotics and once I'd fitted those in, the fit was just right. One thing I would do if I bought another pair would be to spend the £10 extra and buy the waterproof version. I have no idea how well that works, but it has to be better than having damp toes after a 5 minute walk in heavy rain. These are less water-resistant than I expected.

I've been drawing animals since I was old enough to hold a crayon. Much to my mother's dismay, many of my earliest "masterpieces" were images of Bambi drawn on walls, table tops, and any other flat surface I could find. Bambi was my first love as a very young child and I spent a lot of time drawing Bambi and other deer.
Later I went through the typical horse lover phase. There were stacks of paper piled high all over my room with images of horses and related ungulates.
At the age of 13 my father bought me my own horse. This helped tremendously to improve my art. Working with the animals every day, watching their movements and learning about their behaviors, taught me a lot about horse anatomy and mannerisms. A lot of what I learned about horse anatomy and movement could be applied, with a little modification, to other ungulates such as deer, antelope, etc.
It was in my teens, while being around horses, that I first started experimenting with oil painting. At first my paitnings were fanciful such as flying horses and unicorns. But, although I grew up in the city, my father took me on frequent weekend camping trips, so my interest in nature grew stronger and gradually my paintings moved more towards nature and realism.
It's unfortunate that my parents discouraged the idea of art as a career path and, as I neared adulthood, I was strongly enouraged to seek a more "practical" subject to study in school. Art was put on the back burner as I spent many long years struggling through college, trying to find that "right" major. All my "somewhat practical" interests leaned towards natural sciences and biology, none of which was "practical" enough. I finally settled on Business Administration just to graduate and move on.
After just 6 months of working in accounting I knew it couldn't last. But I didn't know what else to do.
Then there came one of those moments where one event, one person, can change your life. My sister gave me a gift certificate to an art supply store as a birthday gift. In the card was a note saying now that I was done with college maybe I'd have more free time to get back to who I really was. I nearly broke down in tears. At that point, I knew I had to get back into art somehow, some way.
I started painting frantically and after a local gallery picked up my work and sold the originals as fast as I could paint them I was encouraged. Soon other opportunities came along, such as art publishing and book illustration deals, which encouraged me further. I eventually quit my accounting job and started painting full time.

Consumer News Release
For immediate release -- Friday, November 12, 1999. Contact Bob Brammer - 515-281-6699
DES MOINES-- Attorney General Tom Miller said the way has been cleared for the first payment of $20.9 million to the State of Iowa by the tobacco industry.
"We expect to receive the first payment in three or four weeks instead of next summer," Miller said. "Then Iowa will receive another $55.8 million early next year. We knew we would receive this first $76 million no later than June 2000, but now the way is cleared for payments to start right away."
Miller said the Commonwealth of Virginia formally concluded its lawsuit today, giving the green light for tobacco payments to begin. Payments to states were set to begin when the threshold was reached of final action by 80% of the states representing 80% of the Medicaid total allotment, but no later than June 30, 2000. Virginia's action means payments can begin now. (Iowa's lawsuit was concluded last January; the settlement between the tobacco industry and the States was reached Nov. 23, 1998.)
The tobacco industry will pay Iowa over $1.938 BILLION by the year 2025, and similar payments will continue indefinitely at the rate of $60-70 million per year (adjusted for inflation.) The State Legislature will determine how the funds will be spent.
Miller has proposed that Iowa spend about $20.5 million of Iowa's first $76 million to reduce youth addiction and Iowa's toll of 5,000 deaths a year from tobacco-related disease. Miller says other states already are proving that a sustained and comprehensive approach can significantly reduce the toll of tobacco disease, addiction, and death.

General Managers talk in a dialect of their own. This, we know. But sometimes that dialect resembles more of a full-blown, foreign language. Sometimes I have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Case in point (this is Theo Epstein, talking about not hiring Mike Maddux as manager of the Cubbies):
"Mike was a very strong candidate and we spent a lot of time talking about the job. The thing that stood out with Mike is that were some more factors that went into our discussions with him with any other candidates. So in the end, it wasn't the right fit at the right time.
"But I'll say he's going to be a fantastic big league manager. He's already an incredible pitching coach and will make a great manager some day. I'm glad he was part of the process."
-Quote from the fantastic blog of T.R. Sullivan, the Rangers beat writer, http://trsullivan.mlblogs.com/.
I read that quote maybe five times over, before deciding it wasn't just me. It was also him. I'm sorry, but what does, "The thing that stood out with Mike is that were some more factors that went into our discussions with him with any other candidates" mean? I mean, really?
Maybe there was supposed to be a "than" or "as opposed to" in there, between "with" and "any". Or maybe he said "strawberries 'n cream" (that would be "our discussions with him strawberries 'n cream any other candidates". Totally likely, that.) and poor Sullivan was just so confused that he decided to omit the word altogether and hope nobody noticed.
Questions, questions.
One GM thing that does make sense? This. (Okay, it actually made no sense- who would willingly choose to visit Times Square, let alone sleep there?- but that makes the gesture all the more wonderful and selfless, I suppose.) Cashman also does awesome things like dressing up as an elf.
He is getting on my good side quick, needless to say. So was Theo, actually. Until that quote and this video where the focus is most definitely off. Not his fault, but still. Wrigley Field is beautiful and all, but you generally have the camera focused on the foreground or the interviewee when doing an interview.
Maybe they should get a new cameraman in addition to a new everything-else-that-could-be-new-under-the-sun.
In all seriousness, though, I am sort of selfishly glad that Maddux is staying in Texas. He looks better in Ranger blue than Cubbie blue. Not to mention that he's a darn good pitching coach.
Diamond Girl
p.s. JD is still siddin' down and talking things over (as previously discussed here). I can't speak for the Force, but the world is in balance.

Constipation is infrequent and/or uncomfortable bowel movements. Stool is often hard and dry. This is a common gastrointestinal complaint.
Constipation has many causes, including:
Constipation is more common in older adults.
Risk factors include:
Symptoms include:
Call your doctor if you:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. It may include a digital rectal exam of the rectum with the doctor's gloved, lubricated finger inserted into your rectum.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with blood tests.
Your bodily structures may need to be viewed. This can be done with:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Treatment may include:
Talk to your doctor about what is a normal frequency of bowel movements for you. The range of normal is quite broad. Some people have several stools a day. Others have 1 stool every several days.
Regularly using laxatives or enemas can be habit forming. Your bowels can become used to these products and require them to produce a stool. Stool softeners, though, are not habit-forming. Ask your doctor about how often and for how long to use these products.
Examples of medications include:
Set aside the same time each day to move your bowels. Typically, this works best first thing in the morning. Sit on the toilet for 15-20 minutes. Over time, your body will learn to have regular bowel movements at the same time each day.
Biofeedback may be effective in certain conditions. By working with a therapist, you learn how to control certain muscles that can help you to move your bowels.
Work with your doctor to treat other conditions that may be causing your constipation.
If you are taking medication that causes constipation, talk to your doctor to find out if you can take a different medication.
If you are taking opioids to relieve pain, you may have constipation. A medication called methylnaltrexone may help to reduce this side effect.
If you have severe, chronic constipation, your doctor may recommend surgery.
If you are diagnosed with constipation, follow your doctor's instructions.
To reduce your chance of getting constipation:

So do you drive differently in the Prius vs. the Mercedes? Because in the big truck I just roll along, slow down early, and basically don't worry about people behind me rear-ending me, but when I drove a car it was like "should I slam on the brakes and corner on two wheels or start slowing down 1/2 mile out so the yahoos behind me don't hit me?"

Today my wife was hit by this huge truck (chevy silverado) on the passenger side... the stupid dude pressed the accelerator instead of the brake and hit her while she was turning protected left.. Thankfully nobody was hurt.
I should say that the prius handled the impact very well.
The truck's airbag came off and front bumper and hood was damaged.. the right front of the prius is damaged.. doors and the front wheel took most of the impact.. but it was still running and I could drive it to the road-side. Still don't know what the cost is going to be.. and whether they'll be able to fix my poor 9 month old car

One of the issues I have with the Prius is that the government crash tests only give it 4/5 stars for driver and passenger front impact:
This is still better than older cars, but it could be better. The good news is that the Prius is being redesigned for 2009 (so it should be available late 2008). I would be the redesigned Prius would get top safety marks in everything, so you might consider waiting until the fall.
While the Prius redesign is fairly certain, there are other interesting rumors which may or may not end up having merit. Rumor has it that after the 2009 redesign, in the following years they'll come out with a second smaller Prius, and a third bigger Prius that's more Camry sized.
Also, I know Toyota has talked about producing a plug-in Prius...but as someone else mentioned, I certainly wouldn't expect it any time this year.
you all prius drivin
you all prius drivin vegetable eatin people are a bunch of fags, stick with the ram, cause when push comes to shove that prius will be torn apart when hit and a suburban being hit by a semi is way less worse then a prius by ram combo

I'm a member of the news
I'm a member of the news media, and a Prius Owner. Just got back from a really bad news story yesterday.
A mother and two children were riding their monster SUV down the expressway.
Hit a patch of ice, slid into the guard rail. Because of high center of gravity, the SUV tumbled over the guard rail and rolled over three times before coming to a stop.
Driver side window was shattered during first roll. Mother's head was thrown sideways out the open window as SUV rolled over.
Mother decapitated, pronounced dead on scene. Both children in hosptial in critical condition. ALL were wearing seat belts.
This is NOT an isolated incident. Detroit's dirty little secret is that SUV's are killing people by the 10's of thousands, in SINGLE VEHICLE ACCIDENTS.
SUV's and Pickups are by design, inherently unstable, and will roll over if the vehicle even hits a curb. Seatbelts are useless when your head is bouncing off the roof and side walls like those little lottery balls in the blender when they draw lottery numbers.
SUV's, pickup trucks, et al, are among the MOST DANGEROUS vehicles to be in a crash.
Bigger is NOT safer. Unless, of course you drive an Abrams Tank. And I understand they get about 4 gallons to the mile.
To the OP: You are the
To the OP: You are the quintessential potential hybrid owner in my opinion. You have a gas guzzler that you really don't need and you can take full advantage of the fuel savings and saving the environment some emissions.
I feel perfectly safe in both my wife's Prius and my Honda Civic Hybrid overall. I drive the speed limit 99% of the time, and I have always been a defensive driver and watch other drivers like a hawk at all times. I also anticipate what driver's are going to do (cutting in front of me on the highway, etc.) and always keep my eyes in front of me.
That being said, if I did get hit by a large truck or SUV, I'm sure I would have more damage/chance for injury than if I were in a similar sized vehicle. I try my best to watch out for the crazies so this doesn't happen.
But as far as the comment about single vehicle accidents, this time of year I see plenty of vehicles in the ditch, some overturned and MOST of them are SUVs or trucks.

A few facts about myself: I
A few facts about myself: I drive a Prius (2002 Model). I love a good steak as well as good sushi. (And before I get any vegetarians angry I also love a place where I work called the Sexy Salad.) I can tell you that apart for having to drive a tank the Prius is more or less the equal size and strength wise to most of the cars out there on the road.
I do drive differently in my Prius. That lady known as 50 MPG tempts me with alluring promises. I REFUSE to be a trail horse constantly tailgating the car in front of me. If he wants to go from 65 to 45 and back again every 15 seconds thats his business. Likewise I dont accelerate down a hill unless the overall speed has drastically increased; why waste a free lunch of going downhill? I also take my time slowing down letting as much energy go to the battery and not the brakes.
In fact there are times I wonder why I drive this heavy car!
Funny question.....the
Funny question.....the reality is that people like big cars because they are big, as simple as that. The bigger the car you drive, the more attention you call around you and stronger you feel. It has nothing to do with real physical safety, just psychological you could very well get kill in a SUV
If you drive a Prius you are
If you drive a Prius you are a typical loser. Let me guess you voted for a socialist Muslim nig-ger in 08, right? Liberal lemmings, grow up. AAAAAND.... don't forget Pearl Harbor! You fkn idiot libs are buying up the product of the same fkn chinks that attacked us! Duh!

Scenic Jewel Entertainment
The Jewel Lounge, just forward of reception on the Danube Deck, is the only entertainment venue onboard. A singer/pianist performs there in the evenings and occasionally on afternoons spent sailing. His rendition of Elvis' "Love Me Tender" had us running for our earplugs, but he did manage to get people dancing every evening. The crew show and the occasional folkloric show also take place on the dance floor in this venue.
The lounge has an uncluttered, modern look with floor-to-ceiling windows, black-and-white carpeting, and blue, gray, brown and orange couches and chairs. In the center of the room is a rectangular bar where passengers can order complimentary cocktails, fancy coffee drinks and other beverages, including a changing roster of cocktails, mocktails and martinis of the day. Bartenders have an Enomatic wine dispenser and a state-of-the-art espresso machine to assist them. Order at the bar, or wait for the circulating bar staff to come to you. The bar staff were very attentive and even came around to the Sun Deck on a warm day, so we didn't have to leave our loungers to get drinks.
Unlike ocean cruises, river sailings don't offer a full roster of scheduled fun. Onboard time is usually spent watching the scenery or relaxing in your cabin, on the sun deck or in the lounge with a book or drink. Every so often, the cruise director will schedule an activity like a galley tour or cooking demo by the pastry chef. But the itineraries are so port intensive, the staff doesn't want to overprogram passengers' time off. There is neither enrichment programming nor in-depth lectures on the destinations, though the cruise director does give a brief overview of each port the night before.
The main focus of a cruise on Jewel is the ports. All excursions are included in the fares, and Scenic is big on choice and possibilities for independent exploration. In each destination, passengers can choose from a few ScenicFreeChoice excursions. These will typically be a walking tour, a biking tour or a transfer to a museum or a nearby city for a tour. We found guides were generally good, but the walking tours often seemed rushed in an attempt to give an overview of the town, allow for free time and not tire out everyone with excessive ambling. All passengers receive a special GPS system called a ScenicTailorMade device. They are the next generation of the QuietVox systems many other river lines use. The devices function in three ways. First, they work like a QuietVox in that you can turn yours to your guide's channel so you can hear her explanations through your headset and don't need to stand directly next to her (great when you're walking down crowded streets in Europe and your group spreads out). Second, they contain walking tours for select cities, with maps that indicate key attractions and show your position; when you reach the highlighted places, prerecorded commentary begins to play, often with photos of that attraction. Finally, the devices serve as commentary during scenic cruising; as you sail by places of interest, the commentary will come on, explaining what you're looking at. This frees the cruise director from having to narrate and allows people who wish to snooze or read during sailing times to not be bothered by constant explanations on the PA system. The devices can be a bit finicky (mine constantly reset itself to Mannheim, despite our not cruising to Mannheim at all), but if you take a quick look at the card that explains the symbols, you will figure them out soon enough.
Scenic Jewel Public Rooms
The ship is laid out with passenger cabins in the aft half and public rooms in the forward half. The public decks are a half-flight down from each passenger deck. To wit, to get from the 300-level cabins on Danube Deck to the Lounge on the same deck, you must go down half a flight of stairs.
Reception is located midship on the Danube Deck. There, you can sign up for bike tours, make spa appointments, borrow electrical converters and ask questions. The cruise director also sits there to answer questions and provide handouts on the various destinations. They can also lend you binoculars or provide toothbrushes, razors and other toiletries you forgot to pack. Across this lobby area, glass cases serve as the "gift shop," holding jewelry, watches, logowear and some local items.
The main gathering spot is the Jewel Lounge, just forward of Reception. Flanking the entrance is an espresso machine (with lattes, hot chocolate and the like) and a tea station with several choices of loose-leaf and fine bagged teas. You can get your own drinks 24/7. Large flat-screen TVs are employed for cruise director presentations, and shelves on the walls and under glass tables house tour guides and other books for onboard perusing. The lounge is where the cruise director will give his daily port talks and make any announcements. It's also where people hang out to read, snack, drink, meet for pre- or post-dinner cocktails, or watch the river go by.
An elevator midship stops at all decks and half decks, except the Sun Deck.
Wireless Internet is available gratis throughout the ship. If you don't bring your own laptop, iPad or other digital device, the in-cabin TVs have Apple computer setups with cordless keyboards and mice. These can be tricky to use; ask reception or your butler if you need assistance.
A laundry and pressing service is available for a fee, but there are no self-serve facilities.
Scenic Jewel Spa & Fitness
The top deck Sun Deck is the main venue for catching some rays and watching the beautiful European scenery pass by. The forward part of the deck is furnished with the same black-and-white wicker chairs found on the sun lounge balconies, wooden tables and some umbrella coverage. The aft section has a giant chess set, collapsible awnings for shade, black fabric chairs and loungers, and tables for drinks. There's also a small outdoor space with tables and chairs just forward of Portobellos.
The spa is a small two-room job on the Moselle Deck. The front room has a windowless space for manicures (32 euros) and salon services like women's and men's haircuts (9 euros for beard-trimming, 24 to 42 euros for cuts and styling) and eyebrow "correction" and coloration (12 to 14 euros). The back room, with one high window, has a spa bed for facials (30, 60 and 90 minutes, ranging from 35 to 95 euros) and 25- or 50-minute massages (30 and 50 euros, respectively). It's pretty basic, but you won't get a hard sell afterward. Appointment times are limited with only two therapists onboard, so book early.
A small fitness center, located across from the spa, has one elliptical trainer, one recumbent bike, one rowing machine and one treadmill. Free bottled water and towels are available, and a large flat-screen TV provides workout entertainment. However, your workout might provide entertainment to others. The gym's corridor-facing wall is all glass, so anyone who passes by can watch you sweat. There's not much head clearance on the elliptical trainer, especially if you're tall; an upper-body resistance machine or some free weights would have been a better choice.
The ship also carries 30 electric-assisted bicycles for use in port. These are super fun. The bikes work like standard three- and seven-gear touring bikes ... but when you get tired, you can push a button to activate a small motor that offers six levels of power. Cruising along and want a bit of help? Try level one or two. Biking uphill against the wind while the tour guide gets farther and farther ahead? Bump it up to 5 or 6. Just remember to return to a lower level when you stop, otherwise your bike will kick into gear as soon as you begin pedaling, giving you a bit of a surprise. But the bikes are great way for people who are fit but haven't spent a lot of time cycling to enjoy a bike tour or simply tool around town on their own.

In "Wonderful Welcome," a Tapestry of Faith program
Gather participants in a circle around the chalice. You may say:
All around the world, Unitarian Universalists of all ages light chalices when they gather together. With this ritual, Unitarian Universalists can connect to one another, even though they might never meet each other.
Now we will light the chalice, the symbol of our Unitarian Universalist faith; then say together our opening words.
Light the chalice and invite the children to repeat each line of the opening words:
We are Unitarian Universalists.
With minds that think,
Hearts that love,
And hands that are ready to serve.
Together we care for our Earth,
And work for friendship and peace in our world.
Extinguish the chalice.

One project assigned the prisoners of war was the construction of a ski runway and lift at Snow Basin in Ogden Canyon to be used in the rehabilitation program for convalescent soldiers at Bushnell Hospital. Mr. Alf Engen, a depot employee and a world-renowned skier was asked to assist in teaching the Bushnell patients in the Advanced Reconditioning Program on week-ends and off duty hours. Twenty five prisoners of war were assigned this work. Full use of the mechanical ski tows and winter sports in general were offered the enlisted men and women of this area without charge. Classes were run in which the amputation cases were given special training in this sport. The amputees derived many benefits from this type of training. It helped them to develop coordination, agility and balance with very little chance of injury. It also proved to them that their physical disabilities were not going to keep them from enjoying life and in this way aided their morale.

as good as he is at fucking i think its time to get rid of jamie. too many scenes now.
as good as he is at fucking i think its time to get rid of jamie. too many scenes now.
That's a silly, spurious reason.
it is just boring now...we're not dating the guy, we dont need to see him a bunch of times. he does essentially the same thing in every video, it was hot...the first 6 times.
would be much better if there were lots of different match ups, instead of "x" and jamie every 4th video.
Re Jamie: Personally, I enjoy seeing a performer who actually enjoys himself as opposed to flavor-of-the-week novelty. With Jamie, you know you're usually going to get a hot performance.
Travis on Corbin Fisher used to be that way, but then they took one of the best bottoms ever and made him into an unpleasant, arrogant top (?!?!)
I have no idea what Jamie's personal preferences are outside of Sean Cody, but he supports the fantasy of being a real gay jock (as opposed to a muscle Mary).
More Jamie, please ... more, more, more.
BTW, did anyone notice that in the last vid it was advertised as "Bareback" but the onlt BB was on the acyual backs of the performers .... methinks I saw one condom on each dick = NON-BB
licious MY Jeffrey,Raymond,Jordan icious are up in HOT and Yes, it is a mid-week BB video. !!!!!! All I gotta say is SC running circles around CF
Oh Yeah and HOT
So it looks like Campbell (one of my all time favorite Sean Cody models) has flown the coop and is now appearing (or is soon to appear) at Next Door under the name "Campbell Stevens"
Campbell at Sean Cody:
Look forward to seeing what he does in the future!
For the love of God can we have balanced scenes if you are going to do bareback please at least show safe scenes too.
"Flipping Dykes I though they were a myth like Weapons of Mass Destruction" Grace Adler.
Raymond was growling during the DP part, sounds like a lot of pain. Other than that, everyone got the chance to fuck and be fucking. (YAY) It is a good scene.
Hahah...you make a very good point! What I MEANT to say (and should have) is that, since I doubt he's the NDS exclusive type, this means he's "out there" and can show up on multiple sites and for multiple studios. THAT'S what I'm looking forward to seeing. He's a serious cutie!
ROTFLMAO. . . which is ironic as they're both crackers fromRed State FL.
It's been a year since Campbell did anything for sc so I'm glad he's doing something. He looks good slightly scruffy. It's interesting that the whole time he was at sc he only bottomed and yet his first time out at ND he is topping (Campbell and Angelo top Austin Wilde). With his dick, assuming he has good wood, he could make a good top. I'd forgotten that he's another in the continuing series of former wrestlers.
I thought it was funny that in the nds promo clip Campbell couldn't remember the name of the web site he did the video for, and that they were faking that they had just finished the filming the video. Leaving both of those in the clip improved my opinion of nds.
I have been a member of SC for years, probably 4 or 5, so you know I am loyal to the site. I've stayed with them through highs and lows as far as models and performance go. I enjoyed this update with Jordan, Jeffrey and Raymond.
I do have one peeve. I turned the sound off completely. The moaning and groaning rivaled bull alligators in mating season. Some people like it I guess, or SC wouldn't do it so much, but to me, it is a turn-off when it is obviously faked.
That said, keep putting out the vids and I'll keep watching, with the sound off.
I thought it was fun, too. They apparently shot the video they were referencing the day before they shot the BTS but couldn't pull of the dupe. I can't blame Campbell for not remembering the name, there are like ten of them. It surprises me (although it shouldn't) that a lot of these boys seem to struggle when they are attempting to call another model by his porn name. It's easy to forget that they think of each other by their real names only.
Not just Campbell. Rylan's come out of retirement to shoot for NDS as "Rylan Shaw." I like the nod to porn giants of the past. . .
i am considering gettting subscription to seancody so i can see all the videos from 2010/2011 that i only saw pictures of. im new at paying for porn i want to know, is it possible that they will ever send me things in the mail?
The fake moaning and groaning, especially during the fucking, on sc videos is probably the biggest negative of sc videos these days. Noisy sex is ok some of the time, but a constant diet of over the top, staged audio sucks. It's no surprise that these three are loud. Raymond and Jeffrey are two of sc's loudest bottoms. And they decided to make the same fake sounds when they top. I'll bet these boys go home and have perfectly normal sounding sex.
The moans and groans on sc videos has gradually gotten louder over the years. Like everything else that's part of the sc formula (quiet period after anyone cums, 4-6 sexual positions with no transitions between the positions, short opening interviews, and some good bts videos), once it's part of the sc formula it will never change. I wish sc would hire a couple of sets of directors to mix up the style and pace of their videos. Letting some of the guys have some directorial freedom was one of the things that breathed new life and variety into BA videos.
It's ironic that sc is willing to try bareback sex part of the time but they aren't willing to try realistic sounding quiet sex part of the time. I like sc, but sc should get rid of the fake moans and groans.
sc doesn't send you stuff in the mail. In four years of subscribing to sc I have never gotten anything in the mail from them. The amount will appear on your credit card bill and that's it. I think that the only reason sc even asks for an address is to process the credit card transactions.
ok maybe i will subscribe then.
this is a long shot but do any of you sc experts:P' know which scene this is from..?
Subscribed to Sean Cody a long time ago but quit it after a while. NIce to see it's doing well again.
BasketBall LOVING MUSCLE HUNK NESTOR is up and looking SEXY YUMMY HOT!!!!! HOPE to see MORE of him and soon!!!!!
It's from Matt fucks Pete (sc862). Matt's dick is fairly distinctive and I'm a big fan of Pete and his butt is yummy in any shot.
Top view of the sexual position with shot in it (Matt fucking Pete doggy style)
Original frame you asked about at +18:11 (your original had been rotated)
Same position - long shot of Matt
Same position - closeup of Pete
Matt didn't do a thing for me.
Matt was never my favorite sc model. Matt had a very nice body, a good dick, and did a good job of fucking. When I watch him in a video there isnt anything I can point to that he is doing wrong. But I never got a vibe that he was very interested in what he was doing, and for some reason I dont find him particularly hot. When Devon Hunter said that Matt readily admitted that he was poor at sucking dick (and had a problem with teeth), my opinion sunk a little more.
Pete, on the other hand, I like a lot. I prefer Pete V1, to the bulked up v2 Pete. In watching Matt fucks Pete I can see why I like Pete. He has passion and is constantly touching and pawing Matt, at least in the sexual positions where that is possible. He cums a bucket and outside the sex, normally has a mischievous smile on his face. I wonder how he came out in the body building competition for which he was training.
He was equality versatile. And very easy on the eyes. It's tough to complain about abs that look like this:
Somtimes I feel the same about Matt; he seems to just go through the motions. I miss Pete (and Doug too.)
thank you for info. i agree that matt wasnt most interesting even though he was hot. very s traight i guess
Speaking of former Sean Cody models..Addison has been sentenced to life in prison for murder in FL.
The money he made with SC wasn't enough...? What's wrong with people?
Here's an article about it(I believe it's okay to post this).
Funny how many killers can take other lives so easily yet fear death themselves.
Speaking of older models, I liked Doug, Pete, Harley, Kurt, Billy, Devin. From the new ones I like Pavel, Jarek, Curtis was wow! with Liev lately and there's always somebody worth looking at. They seem to go bareback, not that I care either way, but I would not like it to influence what models they can get.
for the most part, most porn stars have other jobs. You're not going to become rich off porn for the most part if you're a worker.
Nestor's face reminds me of the Face on the front of Thomas the Train or whatever it is ... "the little engine that could" ?
According to some sources SC models are paid between $3000 and $5000 per scene depending their work and some have done nearly a dozen scenes during their stay. This can easily add up to 40 or 50 grand, which can go a long way for US standards.
Addison is definitely one of a kind.
An import from the United Kingdom, this 24-year-old is one of the wittiest and most charming models I've ever worked with. In the short time I've known him, I've been amazed at what he's been able to get away with.
The first night he was here a few of us took him out to dinner. A friend of mine was having difficulty getting some pepper. Addison threw his napkin over his forearm, went to the serving station, got a pepper cracker, and starting offering fresh pepper not only to our table, but to adjoining tables as well.
You'd think total strangers would be annoyed by something like that, but his British flair just made everything perfect.
Watch the video and you'll understand. He's definitely not shy!
Oh yeah, and he has a cock the size of a baby's leg!
Campbell and Noah would be a serious upgrade. That would be such a cute and horny scene!
Fuller was Dru's first.
I can't believe the story about Addison. Wow.
I'll say this too. I'm sure most of us have heard about the Active Duty tattoo scandal by now. That theme can also apply here.
Having someone with racist tattoos is bad in its own right but having someone who admitted to cold blooded murder still on your site ranks right up there as well.
licious MY DENNIS & PIERCE icious are up and it is a HOT BB flipflop of course!!!! I LOVE it!!!!
Again blowing CF out of the water and SC didn't use a blindfold to LURE us in. Just Saying. HOT
