Chevrolet Cavalier Climate Control/AC Issues
jrmn Posts: 2had same problem . Turned out it was the serpentine chain that should have been replaced as manual said. One garage told me the S belt is fine, went to another place and told them i wanted it replaced and problem was fixed. To be fare to first mechanic the belt LOOKED fine on car but once off you could see it had to go.
I am no mechanic just telling what happened to me . Good luck -
kevdaddy22 Posts: 1My father and I just replaced the a/c compressor and condenser on my 2000 Cavalier. The a/c hasn't worked for years and I finally decided to fix it myself as opposed to pay serious $$$ to have someone else do it.
The problem is that we can't get the compressor clutch to engage. The relay seems to be working and we hear it when we turn the a/c on from inside the car. We tested the old compressor after we took it out by running wires directly from the battery to the compressor and it engaged. That made us think that maybe the a/c wasn't working NOT because the compressor was bad, BUT because it wasn't getting enough juice to engage the clutch.
Does anyone know how many volts the a/c compressor needs (at the compressor terminals) to engage the clutch?
email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks! -
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,192Now you know it won't engage unless you have the proper amount of refrigerant in there, all charged up, right?
If you're charged, then I'd suggest you find the pressure switch and test it by bypassing it. If the compressor engages when you buy pass it, then that's your problem--the switch (or low refrigerant if you haven't tested refrigerant pressure).
You can also test everything electrical right at the compressor's electrical plug-in by by-passing the pressure switch and reading voltage at the compressor.
Try not to run the compressor if you have little or no refrigerant.
If you are fully charged, and if you've bypassed the pressure switch, and you still get no clutch engagement, then you must have a bad HVAC control module in the dash.MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!

chiapaneco71 Posts: 2I have a '99 chevy cavalier and suspect that my a/c system has a leak on, I took it to a shop and they said there is no leak at all just low on refrigerant. They charge the system and after two months the system doesn't blow cold anymore. I change the compressor and accumulator, charge the system with refrigerant again and it blows amazing, after 1 year the problem shows up again. The question is: If I change any part in the system, (hoses, condenser, etc.) should I need to replace the accumulator again? I'm trying to find the problem by my side. I understand that moisture is bad for the system and gets in once the system is open.
Thanks. :confuse: -
teddybeardj Posts: 2Hi everyone. I have a 2003 cavalier. Its a 4 door, just a standard. No ls or sport or anything. Its a 4 cylinder engine. One day I was using the AC and it was fine. I went to work and when I came out it no longer cooled the air. A co-worker said it might be low on freon. He hooked it up and said it was low so he put some in, however it did not solve the problem. He says it shows as full. He believes it might be the low pressure sensor switch that is at fault. Does that make any sense? If so, is it a hard fix? Could it be a blown fuse?
I'm trying to resist taking it to a shop and spend hundreds to find it was a switch that is screwed on with two wires to unhook and hook back up or if it was a blown fuse.
Thanks. -
sly99 Posts: 1Hello everyone. Just got a cavalier 2000 base model. The climate control is acting funny. Fan blows to maximum speed whatever knob position is. AC is also activated even if I don't select it (can't deactivate it). Is this system controlled by one unit? If so, where is it? Is it expensive? Thanks in advance from a newbie!

maryjanemeows Posts: 3I am the original owner of a 2000 Chevy Cavalier with only 51,000 miles on it. I have been reading the forum posts and see that A/C problems are frequent with other owners. I don't know how to do anything to my car, except put in windshield wiper fluid and gas. So, I have to count on my mechanic for everything. I had to pay $109 diagnostic fee for the A/C problem and also for the electric window motor problem. The estimate to replace the A/C compressor and various related things is $1100. The estimate for new electric window motors and regulators is $410 each.
I don't know what else to do, but get these things fixed. I'm on a fixed income and can't afford to buy a new car. This is the second time that I've needed a new motor for my driver's side electric window. I didn't see anyone else in the forum with this problem. At first, one of the mechanics told me to get the dye to check for leaks in my A/C. Later the other mechanic told me I needed a new compressor. I hope that I am making the right decision to have these items repaired. Any thoughts? -
tbostick4675 Posts: 1i have a 05 chevy cavalier that the a/c was working fine, and recently it has not been blowing out of the vents as hard as it should. It is still very cold but barely blows out. Is there any kind of filter or line that could be clogged, I have always ran it on the setting that recirculates the air inside the car instead of the vented air, not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated.
carmanghia Posts: 4Do you get any difference in fan speed when you place fan speed switch in any other position? It is very possible that your blower motor resistor is defective. These aren't too expensive to replace. The resistor is located inside the car under the instrument panel on passenger side on the bottom of the heater case.
teddybeardj Posts: 2Yes Alyssa, I did. It was a bad evaporator. To top it all off, its a $900 to $1000 repair because they had to take the entire dash board off and get to it behind the glove box. I'll hope for you that its not the same thing as it was a very hard decision to put that much money out to fix it, but I would have been in a very bad comfort zone if I went through the 110 degree heat Nebraska heat index.
Then after they fixed that, I began hearing a clicking noise in the same area. They claim it was the fresh air door that was not closing properly because the motor went bad. What lovely timing. They unpluged the motor so I won't be able to turn the dial to get outside air, I can only get recirculated air. Big deal...I can live with that small problem, so that won't be getting fixed.
Good luck on yours. -
lonepalm929 Posts: 1I have a 2004 Cavalier. I haven't had heat or air in at least 4 years. I figured it would be too expensive to fix so I have just dealt with it. I have a new baby (with 2 older children) and we live in Florida. No A/C is really not an option any more.
If I have the air turned on (as long as I am moving) cold air will seep through the vents, but the fan will not blow. So the compressor is doing its job in cooling. I bought a new blower motor and tried to replace it, but it seems that there is no power getting to it. The power switch works since it does kick on the compressor and the light comes on to indicate the air is turned on. So it's not the switch. I've tried replacing some fuses but it still doesn't work. I've tested the pigtail that runs right into the blower motor as well as another one from the same area and neither are getting power.
Single mom with these three children. I only know enough to be dangerous when it comes to cars. If you tell me what to do, I can do it. But I have no idea what to even look for at this point. I've tried doing searches online and keep coming up with nothing.
Thanks for any help you can give. -
shadow48 Posts: 1I have a 2003 cavalier that is getting no power to the coil in the blower motor relay. I know all the numbers and letters pertaining to the heat/air control panel wiring and such, but unfortunately dont have it in front of me...I have power from the fuse to the relay port, i have a ground to the relay coil in that port...i can put a jumper wire from the fuse side in that relay port, to the blower motor (orange wire) in that port an the blower motor will work on all speeds...I NEED TO KNOW what triggers that positive side of the relay coil. I have changed the whole control assembly...i wished i had better schematics than what the Haynes manual gives because it is not the same wiring schematic or control panel thats in my car...PLUS i put a jumper in the relay port on the signal wire to the coil and cannot get continuity on any wires back at the control head...I DO have power at the control head with the key ON...Any ideas, gotta be simple, i just dont have the correct schematics...
htbf1964 Posts: 1if your system is empty (0psi) in system then do a standing pressure test with nitrogen to 150psi. let it stand for 2 hours minimum 4 hours is what id do. if u lose pressure u have a leak. standard microbubble leak solution is needed on a/c systems to find leaks of 2oz/year. if you do have a leak and have it located u can then find your solution. cars do lose refrigerant thru the compressor seal but it should be at a rate no more than 4oz a year. if you dont have a leak pull a vacuum to hold at 1000 microns and recharge system. dont let refrigerants in a system that does not have a vacuum pulled.
jdemongeot Posts: 1I have a 1997 Chevy Cavalier. Recently, the passenger floor, both the front and the back, becomes very wet when I run the air conditioning. I suspect the issue is a blocked condensate drain. Where is the condensate drain located on the 97 Cav and what is the best way to clear out the debris? If you can be specific as possible and/or include pictures, I would really appreciate it. I'm not a car genius and would appreciate any help. Thanks!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

This needs adjustment tho: "What this means is that the U.S. military
surge * already fraught with limitations * is unlikely to produce the kind
of results Washington is seeking in terms of undermining the momentum of
the Afghan Taliban insurgency." As you point out next, its an intel war.
But in any event, american success or failure was never going to turn on
how many troops europe provided. Don't want to even imply that.
Might suggest trimming back details a bit in both sections, but overall
great diary. Old school.

Subject: Diary
I think the transition from Marko's section to mine was good but the
conclusion could use some help.
Dire news continue to stream out of Europe, with the latest figures
released on Thursday showing a slow-down in the rate of expansion in
Europe's service and manufacturing industries. The composite index based
on a purchasing managers survey, conducted by Merkit Economics, fell to
53.6 points in January from 54.2 points in December.
Europe's problems are much more serious than those of the United States.
The recession actually started a good six months earlier in parts of
Europe than in the United States and Europe has yet to seriously address
the problems triggered by the U.S. recession, namely a number of European
banks are still worried about write downs due to toxic assets sitting on
their balance sheets. Banks are weary of lending and are holding on to
their cash, while governments are using any means necessary -- including
threats of regulation -- to prod them to lend.
The problem would be less serious if it was only constrained to the
economies on the periphery, but it is Europe's main economic powerhouses
that are hurting. The Euro's strength against the U.S. dollar is hurting
Europe's competitiveness, particularly hurting Europe's economic engine
Germany, whose exports account for 47 percent of its GDP. Furthermore,
unemployment is slowing inching upwards -- with only government stimulus
programs, which are expiring or largely expired, holding it back.
Finally, the peripheral economies -- starting with Greece, Portugal and
Ireland, but also including Spain -- are not looking good. Greece has in
particularly been rocked by investor uncertainty over Athens' ability to
cut its budget deficit. As investors become more spooked by Greek
macroeconomic outlook, the demand for the country's debt decreases,
raising costs Athens needs to pay to service its already enormous debt.
The question for Europe is what happens if Greece can no longer pay for
its budget deficit or debt servicing. It is at this point that the story
is no longer about Greece, but about Germany and the Eurozone as a whole.
Were Greece and a slew of Mediterranean countries the end of the problem,
Germany would be probably able to intervene and save the day. But how can
Germany have the economic and -- much more importantly -- political
bandwidth to bail out peripheral economies when it itself faces a
potential double dip recession. In the situation of economic uncertainty
-- with potential unemployment rising and more dire banking news in store
for 2010 -- it would be absolute political suicide for Berlin to try to
rescue Athens or Lisbon.
We are therefore in a situation where peripheral Europe and core Europe
are growing wider apart. Europe seems to be devolving into a "every man
for himself" scenario. The Europeans top priority being the growing
economic crisis at home has - among many others - geopolitical
implications for the U.S. strategy on Afghanistan. It places significant
limitations in the commitment that Washington's NATO allies in Europe can
offer to Afghanistan.
What this means is that the U.S. military surge - already fraught with
limitations - is unlikely to produce the kind of results Washington is
seeking in terms of undermining the momentum of the Afghan Taliban
insurgency. Here is where the battle in Afghanistan becomes even more of
an intelligence war. Pakistan is the one reservoir of intelligence that
could help the United States but there are a number of serious bilateral
problems between Washington and Islamabad as was evidenced by U.S.
Secretary Robert Gates' trip to the country today.
For starters, Gates, leading a 125 -member delegation flew into Islamabad
from Pakistan's arch rival India, where he issued statements that
reinforced Pakistani fears. Gates said that India is unlikely to exercise
restraint in the event that Pakistan-based militants staged another attack
along the lines of what happened in Mumbai in November 2008. This was
followed by a rare move in which the top U.S. defense official authored an
op-ed in a leading Pakistani daily (published prior to his arrival in
Islamabad) saying that there is no difference between the Afghan and
Pakistani Taliban. Gates also said that he would be asking Islamabad to
expand its counter-jihadist military offensive to North Waziristan - an
area in the tribal belt currently not being targeted by the Pakistanis and
is the largest concentration of both Afghan Taliban and al-Qaeda elements.
The Pakistanis were quick to respond and said that they had no plans for
any additional operations in the next 6 months to a year - beyond their
current engagements. The country's military spokesperson Maj-Gen Athar
Abbas said that it would take that much time to stabilize South Waziristan
before they moved on to newer fronts. There is no doubt that the
Pakistanis can't fight all types of Islamist militants in different areas
at the same time. This much was acknowledged by the Pentagon's press
secretary, Geoff Morrell, who told reporters that, "Their military is
operating at a higher operational tempo than it has in recent memory and
they are being stretched very thin, as our military is for that matter."
But the issue is not just one of capability. It is also about intent and
Islamabad's strategic imperatives. The Pakistanis realize that the United
States and its western allies aren't looking at a long-term military
commitment to Afghanistan. Therefore, from Islamabad's point of view it
makes no sense to go after those militants that fight in Afghanistan.
Doing so would not only exacerbate the insurgency within its own borders
in the short term; Islamabad would have to deal with a much bigger
cross-border mess long after western forces had left the region.
Furthermore, Taliban forces fighting in Afghanistan are tools for Pakistan
to roll back Indian influence in Afghanistan that has increased
significantly in the last 8 years. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that
Pakistan will undertake the kind of action that the United States is
seeking from it because it would be tantamount to national suicide.
Essentially, the two key pillars that the Obama administration has been
leaning on to fight the war in Afghanistan - Europe and Pakistan - are
both not in a position to help.

1928 & 29 Gordon Hudson Teams Curling Team
David and Kevin Hamblin first proved that they could win together w hen they teamed up with two schoolmates to win the Manitoba High School Championship for Morris High School.
They separated for a short time, a period when David won the 2000 Manitoba Junior Men's title at third for Matt Wozniak. After a 5-7 record at the National championship, that team broke up, and David Hamblin returned to the tee.
Re-united with Kevin, and coached by their parents Lorne and Chris Hamblin, the new team included Ross Derksen at third and Ross McCannell at lead. They qualified for the 2001 Provincial Juniors, finishing 4-3 and out of the playoffs.
Representing the Pembina Curling Club at the Provincials, the Hamblin team qualified for the Page Playoff 2-2 game with a 5-2 record, tied for first in the division with Ryan. However, Bay was awarded first place on the basis of a round robin win over Hamblin. The Pembina team defeated the Colin Wiens team from Winkler in the first playoff round and Bay in the semi-final. In the provincial final, the Hamblin foursome defeated Dan Kammerlock, who was unbeaten to that point.
At the Canadian Championship, the Manitoba team placed second in the round-robin with a 9-3 record, a game behind Quebec's 10-2. The Hamblin foursome defeated Northern Ontario 5-2 in the semi-final. In the National final against Quebec, Manitoba scored single points on the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth ends to take a 5-1 lead. Quebec's comeback fell short, and Manitoba scored a 5-4 final victory.
At the World Championship in Kelowna, Hamblin's Canadian team played Sweden in the final round-robin game. Sweden was undefeated; Canada had lost a game earlier in the week. A 9-5 victory for Canada gave the Hamblin team an 8 wins - 1 loss record, tied for first with Sweden, but they were granted first place in the playoffs based on that final round-robin win.
A 6-3 semifinal win over Scotland advanced them to the final against Sweden, who had beaten Switzerland in the other semifinal.
In the now 43-year history of the World Junior Men's, that final was one of the two lowest scoring final games ever. Tied 2-2 coming home, Hamblin dealt with the pressure of a last rock draw to the eight-foot circle to win the world championship. As third Ross Derksen called encouragement, front-enders Kevin Hamblin and Ross McCannell swept the David Hamblin draw to perfection - the winning point in a 3-2 World Junior Championship victory.
The Hamblin World Junior Champion team was inducted into the Manitoba Curling Hall of Fame in 2006.

My son and I have spent a lot of time lately searching through my gardening catalogs looking for plants that we can dedicate to family members. He is a little over two so he doesn't quite understand, but he likes it when we cut out pictures and say, "This is Nana's flower". "This is Auntie LuLu's rose."
I am really looking for flowers that are actually named after family members and friens. It should be fun and I know my son will love to help! |

April 10, 2013
On the Hill, academic interests and aspirations change from week to week, month to month, semester to semester. A simple hobby today can become tomorrow's passion—just as easily, a favorite pastime can be replaced by some new venture. This frenetic concentration is especially prevalent this week on the Hill, as course selection for fall of 2013 nears. Many Hamilton students – myself included – have put aside their textbooks in favor of the course catalogue.
However, experience has taught me to look past the catalogue—its descriptions sometimes suffer from being two-dimensional. Fellow students, upperclassmen who have gained a healthy degree of insight into Hamilton's academics, offer much more in-depth analyses. They can reveal what professors like and dislike in their students, which lectures are particularly interesting and whether the workload is far too heavy or just manageable. A simple conversation with a friend often reveals if a class is right for me or not.
But my peers at Hamilton do more than offer insight into particular courses; the tastes and preferences of friends oftentimes influence my scheduling decisions. When one member of my social circle sits through a life-changing lecture or talks up a particularly engaging assignment, the rest of us hop eagerly onto the bandwagon, determined to find the same mental stimulation.
For example, my good friends Max Newman '16 and Hashem Zikry '13 are both enrolled in a course titled, "Psychology and Detective Fiction." For this class, they each had to produce their own detective story—along the way, they asked for input. I became highly engaged in the assignment, truly invested in each short story; in fact, I was a little sad I could not write my own.
At this moment I am determined to enroll in that course—along with about five other friends who, like me, observed and took part in the creative process. But it's not available until next spring… so I will just have to wait. For the moment, I need to figure out my schedule for next fall.

Presto! Digitalization!
In 1962, WCBS-AM, New York, built its Blackrock facilities in mid-town Manhattan; a facility that would serve the station for nearly 40 years. During that time, the station grew and the best efforts were made to keep the facility up to date with the station's needs. When incremental changes are made to a facility, an unfortunate consequence is that the changes are typically based on short-term needs and do not work well with long-term plans. After 38 years, the WCBS-AM studios were ready for a major upgrade. The biggest challenge was to take the 38 years of facility operation and rebuild it in only six months.
Changing from old-style analog to nearly completely digital can be an operational challenge, but the reward is worth the effort.
CBS owns and operates its broadcast center at 57
Radio Systems served as the project's system integrator, providing wiring design services. During the planning phases, WCBS visited Radio Systems' offices several times to finalize plans and make the final decision to install the Klotz consoles, an approach suggested by Radio Systems. The original plan was to use a separate router and digital console approach that would be integrated later. The main advantage to this decision is that mix-minus settings could be created and stored for instant recall. With this on-the-fly mix minus creation, it is not necessary for station personnel to call a station engineer to set up a feed each time.
Seeing doubleThe studios occupy the 8
Having two on-air control rooms is not a typical practice, but because of the 24-hour news format, having the second studio allows each studio to be maintained without any on-air interruption or air staff inconvenience. The two rooms also allow each shift to set up in the studio before going on the air. This second purpose, while deemed desirable during the planning stages, is not used on a regular basis. Nonetheless, the capability exists when needed.
The two on-air control rooms are mirror images of each other. The rooms have dual, equal-size control consoles. Because most of the air shifts have dual anchors, it was important for each anchor to have some level of control over audio sources. The equal treatment also requires both anchors to be familiar with the console and studio operations, so if one anchor is absent, the other anchor is still in complete control of the control room. The dual arrangement also maintains an equal status between the anchors and does not place a physical hierarchy within the room.
Studio 8A, the second of the two control rooms, is setup for dual-anchor use.
Typically, both anchors set their consoles the same, but because of the routing design of the Klotz system, each console could have a completely different arrangement. There are three computer monitors above the console. Two of them display information from the Prophet Systems NextGen automation system. One shows the commercial line-up and the other shows the news actualities. The third screen is for the office network and typically is used to access the Internet.
The all-news format relies on a great number of outside sources such as traffic helicopters, traffic contributors and live actualities. Nearly every outside source requires its own mix-minus return feed. Creating this multitude of mix-minuses with a stand-alone analog console would have required a great deal of time and equipment. Changing the unique settings of these return feeds for each possible studio or workstations location would have made the task impossible. The router design of the Klotz Vadis allows these return feeds to be created once without intervention from the operator or engineering staff when a different use is needed.
The production studios also mirror each other, with the voice-over booth sitting between them on one corner. The editing suites are smaller rooms with basic program recording and editing functions. These suites also have the only analog consoles in the facility. This was done because these rooms typically do not require a large number of audio sources to be available. The most frequent use of these suites is to edit and assemble new elements of program features that have several interview pieces or require substantial editing.
Two production rooms, also in a mirrored configuration, share a voice-over booth.
The news workstations are used to gather news and make it available for on-air delivery. This includes writing the script, assembling any audio elements and saving the audio elements to the on-air system. The on-air scripts are read from paper. Each anchor has a printer at his position.
The edit suites, rooms 8F through 8I, have analog consoles with selectors for the sources on the Klotz router.
In the center of the news area sits a producer and associate producer. These people oversee the overall on-air operation and ensure that all the required elements are available and ready to go.
The station's main conference room is located next to the newsroom. There is a large window facing into the newsroom, where a clear view of the air studios is available. This allows the conference room to be used as a green room for guests and their entourage to prepare for and observe the interview. Tie lines also allow the conference room to be patched into the audio system for use as a large interview or performance space.
The rack room efficiently occupies the floor space at one end of the facility. The second row of racks houses the computer-based equipment.
Moving in
The studios were completed and operational in October 2000. The station's occupancy was immediate upon the facility's completion. Because of this, the shakedown period took place over the first few months of operations. Not only did the air staff transition to a new facility, they also moved into the digital age overnight. The change from carts and reel-to-reel recorders to digital consoles and automation was a difficult transition for some. Once the new methods and systems were learned, the staff embraced use of the new systems and found it hard to believe how operations were handled in the old facility.
CAT5 wiring is run throughout the facility with the Radio Systems Studio Hub system. Radio Systems was also the system integrator for the project. |
While the Klotz consoles are the center of the facility's operation, the backbone is the Radio Systems Studio Hub wiring system. All the studio interconnects are CAT5 wire. The StudioHub installation at WCBS is the largest terrestrial radio station installation to date. Many StudioHub components were also custom built for WCBS, and Klotz wrote custom software routines to accommodate the installation.
Stations continue to embrace digital technology to take advantage of its flexibility. For WCBS, the digital plan will allow the station to upgrade and grow without fear of becoming trapped in antiquated surroundings. The choice to go digital was not simply because it was digital, but because it should allow the station to operate in its new facilities for at least the next 40 years.

2013 Honda Accord Sdn Overview
The 2013 Accord is available as a sedan or a coupe and features two different engine choices. The basic engine is a 2.4L 4-cylinder making 185 hp, or 189 hp in "Sport" tune. The optional engine is a 3.5L V6 that makes 278 hp. Transmission options include a continuously variable transmission (CVT), only available on the 4-cylinder and a traditional manual transmission, which is available on 4-cylinder sedans as well as on 4 and 6-cylinder coupes.The Accord comes in a myriad of configurations. Sedans are available in LX, Sport, EX, EX-L, EX-L V6 and Touring. Base Accord LX trims come nicely equipped with features that include a Bluetooth-enabled stereo with audio streaming capabilities, a rearview camera, dual-zone climate control, hill start assist, 16-inch alloy wheels, an 8-inch screen and an alarm. The basic AM/FM/CD player also comes standard with an auxiliary input jack as well as a USB interface. The whole system is Pandora internet radio-compatible.
The Accord only gets nicer from there. The Sport trim includes 18-inch wheels, a 10-way power adjustable driver's seat, a leather wrapped steering wheel and a bit more power. EX Accords build on the LX with a one-touch power moonroof, 17-inch wheels and a nifty engine start button. EX-L Accords have a leather trimmed interior, 10 and 4-way power adjustable heated front seats, additional safety features including a lane departure warning system and a forward collision warning system and a standard CVT transmission. Touring models get adaptive cruise control, automatic headlights, Homelink, LED fog lamps and a standard V6 engine, along with all the other goodies from the EX-L. Options include a satellite navigation system on the EX-L and Touring models and a CVT transmission on the LX and EX models.
The sporty coupe features two fewer doors, but also a usable back seat. The swoopy styling provides a good compromise between good looks and a useful interior. The trim levels compare similarly to those in the sedan with the exception of the Touring model which is not available as a coupe. In a generous nod to the enthusiast, Honda allows the V6 Accord coupe to come equipped with a proper 6-speed manual transmission for maximum fun and driver involvement.
Safety starts with the latest electronic stability and traction control systems, which all come standard along with anti-lock brakes. Dual stage multiple threshold front airbags, front side airbags and side curtain airbags are standard as are active head restraints and a brake assist function. EX-L and Touring models get lane departure warning and forward collision warning.
2013 Honda Accord Sdn Model Changes
The Accord enters its ninth generation in 2013. Completely redesigned, the new Accord is actually slightly smaller than last year's car on the outside. However, interior dimensions have grown in several key areas, such as rear seat leg room. Most available engines make more power over last year. Styling has also been redesigned, and the 2013 Accord looks more grown up and sophisticated.
2013 Honda Accord Sdn Value
The Accord is a mid-sized car, competing against some of the best-selling vehicles in America. Prime targets for the Accord include the Camry and the Altima. The Accord is a solid value and the chassis is capable and sophisticated enough to be optioned up into a fairly luxurious vehicle, This versatility allows it to be either a spacious alternative to many economy cars or a less expensive alternative to many luxury cars. There is even a stylish coupe available with performance that matches many sports cars.
2013 Honda Accord Sdn Strengths
Fuel efficiency; interior space; long history of reliability; large number of configurations available.

Re: Shaker Hanging Shelves
Very Nice. I just built two of these last week, but I did not dovetail the bottom the way you did. I like yours better, plus I made mine out of pine. I wonder if we got the plan from the same book?
Re: Moated Chess Table™
Very Nice.
Re: Make Your Own Dowels
This sounds like a great idea, but it also sounds time consuming. I agree, there is nothing better than home made dowels. I use scraps from my project and just run them through the router table using a round over bit. You have to start about three inches in from one end and stop three inches in from the other end to keep square ends on the table, but you make four quick passes and your done. A little touch up with some sandpaper any your finished. Basically, a 1/8th round over bit will give you a 1/4 dowel and a 1/4 round over bit will give you a 1/2 dowel and so on.
Re: Federal style hall table
Very impressive. This is incredible work Frank.
Re: Shaker Wall Clock
Very Nice. Did you use a mechanical movement or a battery powered one?
Re: Burled Maple Coffee Table
Very well done. What did you use for a finish coat?
Re: SIdeboard
Very Nice. Do you work a lot with Veneer? I have not done any veneer work but just cut up a very nice croth section of black walnut. As a result I'm considering my hand at some veneer work to stretch the lumber a long way.
Re: Shaker Style Hall Tree
Yes, I used a small "L" bracket at the top behind the cove moulding so it remained hidden.
And thanks for the comments. :)
Re: Reproduction Trestle Table Circa 1820 Unionville, Ohio
I love the table, I'm actually researching this because I'm about to make one myself. The breadboard ends look really nice as well.
Re: Chess table
John, That is a very impressive table. I have a similar plan, however, I have only done the table top so far. I originally planned to do tapered legs, but changed my mind when I came up with the money for a lathe. As soon as I buy one I will begin the base of the table. My table top is made from Hickory. I used the heart wood for the darker pieces and then used a blonde shellac for the top. It's nice to see similar plans from other woodworkers.

- Date: 14 August 2012
- Artform: All
- Area: Midlands
This project tested new ways of targeting the local community with innovative marketing and digital tools in order to increase public attendance and engagement with the arts. It also provided participating organisations and authorities with organisational support and services across a range of marketing and audience development areas.
Its legacies include: eight toolkits for approaches to engagement and a better understanding of the benefits and practicalities of adopting a joined-up approach to marketing and audience development across the Black Country.
The Arts Nation West Midlands (ANWM) pilot engagement ideas were generated by Audiences Central in consultation with the ANWM Steering Group which included local authorities, arts and cultural organisations from the Black Country.
Engagement activity included; the establishment of an arts café, arts shop, use of ad bikes, roving ambassadors, media projectors, digital Screens and treasure trails deployed in a series of inter-connected events.
Over 30,000 people were engaged during five months of activity. 95 arts and cultural organisations benefitted from some form of organisational support via the ANWM campaign. The ANWM business-to-business resource website received 2,280 unique visits over 14 months.
The Black Country's existing arts and cultural provision was widely promoted to new and existing audiences.
Audiences Central's marketing and audience development support for participating organisations has led to a demand for continued organisational support and networking opportunities across the region
There is now a better understanding of the value and practicalities of collaboration, sharing marketing resources and of developing a multiple-venue programme of activity for target groups.
The pilot approaches have informed the production of eight engagement toolkits including; arts cafe, arts shop, roving ambassadors, media projectors, digital screens, ad bikes and treasure trails.

- Un-Buffered
Un-Buffered scores get rid of all the optimizations found when benchmarking with buffered. Un-Buffered gives a more raw score of the memory and gives you a better idea of what is overall a quicker module. It's interesting to see that the Kingmax TinyBGA memory module, while not being the fastest as far as MHz are concerned, didn't have any trouble going against the big guns from Corsair and OCZ.
While Kingmax might have taken the win here when it comes to gaming, you will find that they make use of the optimizations in the processor when gaming so due to the FSB being higher on the OCZ and Corsair, they should be an overall quicker module.

The AMA Pro SuperSport riders put on quite a show today in the action packed 18 lap race here at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca during the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix event. Riding his LTD Racing Yamaha with an engine that hadn't turned a lap until the warm-up lap, Huntley Nash endured a red flag race stoppage and relentless pressure from Top Gun rider Tyler O'Hara and went on to take his second career AMA Pro SuperSport win.
Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Team riders Colin Edwards and Ben Spies are delighted to unveil a special livery for their YZR M1s at this weekend's US Grand Prix at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
A sun-soaked Laguna Seca welcomed the MotoGP paddock to American soil today, where Jorge Lorenzo looked on good form to finish the opening session in second and his Fiat Yamaha team-mate Valentino Rossi made a solid start for sixth position. The Fiat Yamaha M1s are running in a special livery here to celebrate the forthcoming launch of the Fiat 500 car in the United States, which features the faces of 500 fans on both bikes and the riders' leathers.
The exciting AMA Pro SuperSport class will show the world just how bright the future is for American motorcycle racing with another race in this year's AMA Pro SuperSport Championship at the July 23-25, 2010 Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix event at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
Piloti's first motorcycle boot, the Moto 800, is set to make its highly-anticipated debut this weekend at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, as part of the 2010 Red Bull US Grand Prix.
The suburb north of LA is normally home to a lot of television and film production and star sightings are commonplace, but on Tuesday it was teeming with motorcycle racers… Fiat Yamaha's championship leader Jorge Lorenzo, Monster Tech 3 Yamaha riders Ben Spies and Colin Edwards; Yamaha legends Kenny Roberts Sr., Eddie Lawson, and Wayne Rainey – even AMA Superbike championship leader Josh Hayes and Ben Bostrom were all spotted in the nondescript warehouse district near Burbank's Bob Hope Airport – not a typical transfer point on the way to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
Hot off the heals of an exciting weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, the AMA Pro National Guard SuperBike series will once again take to the track for the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix weekend at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, July 23-25. The battle for this year's championship is up for grabs but two riders in particular laid claim to the title at last weekend's Mid-Ohio race.
After a weekend that saw the points chase break wide open, AMA Pro Daytona SportBike presented by AMSOIL rolls into Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in conjunction with the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix which is one of two appearances for MotoGP in the United States.

Edward Romero found guilty of horrific Alicia Martinez murder
Romero claimed not to remember what happened, informing Pagliasotti that he had blacked out.
At that point, Pagliasotti went on, Romero asked her to grab some trash bags from another room, and when she got back, he had already detached her arms from the rest of her body and was trying to do likewise with one leg through the use of a machete. He continued chopping until some of her remains were so small that he tried flushing them down a toilet.
Romero's attorneys didn't deny these actions over the course of the trial. Rather, as CBS4 pointed out, they claimed he suffered from Dissociative Identity Disorder, as well as another personality disorder, due to past abuses. As such, he had no memory of the killing itself -- just of his efforts to conceal it.Alicia Martinez's loved ones react to the verdict.
In the end, a jury didn't buy this argument, finding Romero guilty of every count against him. He'll be sentenced in March.
Look below for lots of supplementary material: booking photos of Romero and Pagliasotti, a CBS4 report from yesterday, 9News coverage from March 2012 and late 2010, and an interactive graphic showing the area near the scene. If you have problems seeing the image, click "View Larger Map."

Chief Executive's review Sir John Rose
World-class people
In responding to the short-term challenges we are currently facing and in developing the business for the longer term, our people are our strongest asset.
Rolls-Royce is a power systems company, powered by the knowledge, experience and imagination of all our employees across the world. Our advantages are dependent on the contributions they make and in this increasingly challenging period I am particularly indebted to all of our people for everything they do in support of the business.
Future prospects
The Group expects that in 2009 its global markets will be affected by reducing demand and the impact of financing constraints. We will continue to manage the consequences of airframe programme slippages.
Cash generation will be affected by the reduction in new orders and associated deposit intake and the impact on inventory of any delays or cancellations. There are also likely to be requests for customer and supplier financial support which will be considered by the Group on a case by case basis. In the current environment it is expected that in 2009 despite a cash outflow, the average net cash balance of the Group will increase. The Group's current view is that underlying revenues will continue to grow and underlying profits for the year will be broadly similar to those achieved in 2008.

East Chicago, Purdue grad Kawann Short happy with fit in Carolina
By LaMond Pope firstname.lastname@example.com/@lamondpope April 26, 2013 10:28PM

Updated: May 29, 2013 7:54AM
The Carolina Panthers were the first team Kawann Short visited as he went through the process leading up to the NFL draft.
The Panthers must have liked what they saw from the defensive tackle.
Carolina selected the East Chicago Central and Purdue graduate in the second round with the 44th overall pick of the NFL draft on Friday.
"It's a dream come true," Short told reporters in an interview posted on the Carolina website. "It's an honor to go back to the city. Visiting, I loved it from Day 1. And the coaching staff is unbelievable. And the group of guys I'm going to be around, it's going to be a great time."
Short earned 2012 Associated Press second-team All-America honors last season.
"Kawann is a legitimate three-down defensive tackle," Carolina general manager Dave Gettleman said on Panthers.com. "He plays the run well. He can play both techniques well. He's the most natural pass rusher of all the defensive tackles in the draft. He was at the top of our board. We worked him out, we brought him in, spent time with him.
"We feel really good about this pick. It gives us a tremendous defensive line rotation."
The two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection finished eighth on Purdue's career sacks (191/2) and tackles for loss (49.0) lists.
"It's natural for him. He's very instinctive about what he's doing, the way he uses his hands. He has great hips," Gettleman said. "The key to being a great pass rusher is being able to get hip to hip to that offensive lineman as quickly as possible. He's got that skill. And it's easy for him. When I first started doing the film study, I'm just shaking my head. You are almost shocked by it."
Short is ready to help out any way he can.
"I'm not the one defensive tackle that you can say 'he's a run-stopper or he's just a pass rusher.' I can do both," he said. "Once I get in that rhythm, it's non-stop. I have the ability to use different types of moves to make it in the backfield and cause disruption."
Short got a great vibe when he visited the team.
"When I first met those guys, It felt like 'man, I belong here,'" he said. "I feel like I can do a lot of things with this organization.
"… It's a great city, first and foremost. Just to play football for Carolina would be a blessing."
Short is the ninth defensive lineman from Purdue drafted in the last 10 years and the third defensive tackle in the past five years. He is the 25th Purdue player selected in the second round. It's the 16th consecutive year at least one Purdue player has been chosen in the draft.
"I ended up where I would love to be," Short said.

"I think there's just one kind of folks. Folks."
— Harper Lee, from "To Kill a Mockingbird"
Dick Burgess, 87, lives in the Glen Park neighborhood of Gary with his wife Kathy.
They've been married 57 years and have raised four children, all of whom attended Andrean High School. Dick and Kathy are retired from the Gary Public Library system. They are members of St. Mark Catholic Church in Gary.
"I was born in London, Ontario," Burgess began. " We moved to Miller in 1964; two years later, we moved to this house in Glen Park."
Tell me a little bit about growing up in Canada.
"Actually, I only lived in Canada until I was 6 months old. My parents settled in Detroit."
Did you know our mutual friend Dorothy Bishop is a die-hard Detroit Red Wings fan?
"Really? I loved hockey at one time. My father was a great hockey player. I was, too. But when it got to where every other period there was a fight, that just turned me completely off. I forgot about hockey."
Dick, I went to a fight the other day and a hockey game broke out.
"Ha! That's a good one."
Yeah, I got a million of 'em. But seriously. When you think about it, in other professional sports — besides boxing — fights are broken up as soon as possible. It is rather barbaric that the officials in hockey actually back off so the sadistic Romans, I mean fans, can scream with bloodlust while the toothless gladiators, I mean hockey players, beat each other's brains out.
"It is insane to me. Other sports have gotten tougher on that sort of thing."
Enough sports. I'm sure you're a reader. Name one of the first novels that really made an impression on you.
"Without a doubt, the first novel to really make an impression was Harper Lee's 'To Kill a Mockingbird.'"
That was an important novel dealing with racism and more.
What do you enjoy reading most?
"Fiction, biographies and some history."
"At the time, it was called Michigan State Normal. It was for teachers. It's now called Eastern Michigan. It's in Ypsilanti. I decided I didn't want to be an English teacher. I've always enjoyed libraries, so I became a librarian.
"At Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, they had a one-year library training program. I met my wife there. We both ended up with master's degrees in library science from the University of Michigan."
Was your first job in Gary?
"Yes, I started out at the main library on 5th Avenue. It was funny, I took a taxi to the library. When the cabdriver pulled up to the library I asked him, 'Where is it?' The library building looks like a storefront. I was used to the traditional looking libraries. Anyway, I started there and was eventually promoted as director of the John F. Kennedy branch in Glen Park.
"I was director for 22 years, then I was back at the main library the last couple years. The reason I moved to Glen Park was they had the perfect position for me. I'm a lover of classical music. They wanted a librarian who was knowledgeable in both music and film. I'm also a movie buff. It was a perfect fit."
What famous actor made his film debut in "To Kill a Mockingbird"?
"I'm drawing a blank."
Robert Duvall.
"Oh, yes! He portrayed Boo Radley."
Ever notice the ridiculous amount of all-time classic movies that were made in 1939?
"Oh, yeah. 'Gone With the Wind,' 'The Wizard of OZ...,'"
The list goes on and on. I think the original "Stagecoach" was made in '39.
"'Stagecoach' is one of the best westerns ever made."
When I was a kid, I remember our family going to the outdoor movie theater and seeing "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance."
John Wayne.
Jimmy Stewart.
For a couple of Republicans, they were pretty good.
I hear you're an avid fisherman.
"Oh, yeah. During the late1950s, Kathy's brother and I fished in a big lake and a small river for the first time."
What were the names of the lake and river?
"I don't remember. It was about 150 miles north of Toronto. We had a great time, but they have what they call 'no-see-ums.' Ever heard of a 'no-see-um?'"
Is this the beginning of a joke?
"It's a tiny insect about the size of a fruit fly that bites like a mosquito, but hurts much more. You have to wear long sleeves and gloves. If they get under your clothing, they'll put one heck of a welt on you. And it doesn't go away for several days. We wore nets over our faces, too."
Sounds like a real fun time.
"We were driving to a new spot while wearing our netting when we met an out-of-town farmer bringing in produce to sell. He almost ran off the road staring at us. He thought we'd just robbed a bank or something."
Catch any fish or just West Nile?
"Lots of perch and bass."
Let's switch gears. Changes in Glen Park since the mid-'60s?
"When we moved here, I believe there was only one black family on the block."
"We're the only white family on the block."
Gary as a whole?
"I think Gary has gone down hill in some ways, but it has stayed relatively steady. Detroit is a disaster. There is no downtown. At least Gary has a little bit of downtown left. Nobody goes to downtown Detroit.
"Now, on the other hand, the downtown section of Chicago is still very vital. With that said there's a lot of crime in Chicago. There's a lot of crime in Gary."
Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson?
"I think the new mayor is doing an exceptional job. It's not an easy job. They're finally coordinating all of the sections of the police department and getting it together, it seems to me."
Dick, it's been a pleasure. Any final thoughts?
"Well, I feel sorry for children because they have everything but what they need."
What's that?
"The fundamentals. To me, if you're bringing up children, let them be children. They should be able to have an imagination. They should be able to play outside. These kids are stuck in the house using their thumbs to play electronic games.
"Kathy and I volunteer at a children's home in East Chicago. We're baby cuddlers, that's what they call us. It's for children who are physically or somewhat mentally deprived."
What's the name of this place?
"The Nazareth Home; it's state supervised."

This is my first time posting to Weeds. I'm trying to attache 2 photos but not sure it will work. Hopefully someone can help me. My yard and indeed the whole county seems to be overrun with this aggressive yellow flowered plant. Has fleshy rhizomes (?) and seems to take hold in any bare area or where lawn is weak. Flowers open just in sunlight, but when they do it's a field of lemon yellow!
So once I get an ID, naturally the next question is: How can I get rid of this stuff? How does it move (seed I guess, since it spreads beyond immediate area). |
Image link: miserable yellow flower weed -- identification? (24 k)

I see only the full field photo is linked. How can I attach / send the closeup of the nasty plant? Sorry this is my first time putting up images on to the forums. |
I can't answer your photo question, but I'll take a wild stab at the yellow flower ID and guess lesser celandine (ficaria verna)? |
Here is a link that might be useful: lesser celandine
You can upload your images to any free web-storage (Photobucket, Picassa,etc.) and give a link to them here in your post. Do not ferget to make the pictures "public" so everyone could see them. |
- Posted by graficaamy 6 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 27, 09 at 21:36
Ranunculus ficaria -- it definitely is the culprit -- and it looks horrible. I can vouch that it's nearly impossible to dig up all the underground parts of a single plant, much less an infestation. I am now going to have to deliberate: Use Roundup / glyphosate even though I have avoided chemicals for years, or spend an eternity digging and probably not succeed. This link sent by kalmia10 says lesser celandine spreads mostly by the underground tubers, but here at my house it seems to pop up FAR from existing colonies, meaning 15 feet from nearest plant, as if it spread by airborne seeds. Is it just inadvertant movement of tuber segments??? or could it also spread by seed? |

404 Department of External Affairs to Pritchett
Cablegram 87 CANBERRA, 17 May 1949, 1.56 p.m.
Our 85. [1]
1. We have sought views of the Indian Government which holds to the principle that the Dutch should provide the necessary assistance. India considers that if assistance is not forthcoming from the Dutch the Security Council might perhaps be able to arrange for essential facilities to be made available from United Nations Administration stocks.
Procedurally this would have difficulties but it is possible that the Secretary-General might agree to draw on the Capital Fund with the endorsement of the Security Council. Because of the precedent it would create, however, it may be difficult to arrange assistance through this means and it is quite clear that pressure should be maintained on the Dutch.
2. In connection with your 72 [2], please proceed as indicated in your paragraph 1. You should also re-open discussions concerning scholarships. An indication through you from the Republicans to the effect that they would welcome immediate shipment of thefurther supplies allocated by Australia for Indonesia under the Australian - South-East Asia programme would enable us to move as soon as shipping is available the goods stored in Melbourne for the Dutch and Republicans.
3. For your information, we are examining possibilities of supplying some office materials of the kind listed by the Republicans but will await the outcome of negotiations with the Dutch before considering increasing the Australian contribution in this connection.

Check Out The Futuristic Concept Art of 'Elysium' and a Word From Neill Blomkamp [Exclusive]
Exclusive By Scott Beggs on August 6, 2013 | Be the First To CommentIf destroying a corrupt system of impoverishment was as simple as having a weaponized skeleton grafted onto our bodies and infiltrating the most secure fortress in existence, we'd all do it. That's a given. Fortunately we don't have to because Matt Damon is willing to take on the challenge for us in Elysium.
As Neill Blomkamp's first project since District 9, anticipation is at insanely high levels (according to our applause-o-meter), and while the trailers have paraded a drool-worthy design, we can now exclusively share a few pictures from the forthcoming "Elysium: The Art of the Film" from Mark Salisbury (like a movie with pages!) that give us a glimpse of the future.
But first, a brief excerpt from Blomkamps' foreword:
"People always say film is the combination of all of the arts. Throwing music, theater, visual arts, and writing into a blender and composing a medley of all of these things. To me the visual design element of this process is the most rewarding. I get the most kick out of visuals, and in film-making that runs from set design, to costumes, to props and cinematography.
Anything that approximated an "art of" book, or even behind the scenes photos, were always my favorite as a child because they had all of the wonders of cinema and the secrets behind its creation. It was like peeking behind the curtain, and seeing all of the ingredients that culminated together to manufacture the huge magic trick that is a final film."
Publisher Titan Books also has a pretty sweet limited edition that's signed by Blomkamp, boasts a limited edition Syd Mead illustration and a ton of other goodies.
I'll take one Versamex land cruiser, please.

PROVIDENCE — After a winter of doing little but turning the heat up, Danny Fox emerged from his home in Maynard, Mass., to walk the aisles of the New England Saltwater Fishing Show on Sunday at the Rhode Island Convention Center and contemplate, as only fishermen can, his promising future.
In one hand dangled a white bag with a new Shimano fishing reel ($200), a fancy sun-blocking hat ($30) and a plastic-wrapped, custom-made surfcasting rod ($500) made by a guy on Cape Cod. In his other hand he gripped a second new fishing rod ($200) — "it's a jigging stick" — and in his mind he held some potential mischief.
"There's a new reel over there for 1,100 bucks that I want," he said. "I just have to figure out how to get it in the house without my wife seeing it."
Fox, who is 54 and understands being in dangerous situations — he works on high-rise buildings glazing windows — wasn't really setting himself up for a domestic disturbance.
He had insurance money to spend, he explained, since a fire earlier this month destroyed their garage "and all my toys." The settlement was allowing him to upgrade his fishing gear.
And so he shopped Sunday with hundreds, if not thousands, of other fishermen with thoughts turning toward warmer days and arriving fish.
"It was so cold this winter, I'm ready to play," he said. "We've been hermits for too long."
Paul Pacheco, 52, of Wareham, Mass., stuck out of the crowd of mostly men in baseball caps and flannel shirts as he carried a 10-foot surfcasting rod along with him. And it wasn't just his choice of fishing tackle that seemed curious.
"I actually loved this winter because it was the first time in a while we had good ice for ice fishing," he said. "I fish all year. I don't care how cold it gets."
In another couple of months, he planned to use that new surfcasting rod to throw plugs into the swirling currents of the Cape Cod Canal in pursuit of — "Stripa!" he said, with colloquial enthusiasm.
Pacheco's largest striper last year was 38 inches long, caught in the canal. But as he spoke, those striped bass were mostly still off the mid-Atlantic coast in their wintering range.
Visitors to the show wandered up and down aisles where tackle manufacturers and distributors offered the latest in slippery lures and shiny wooden plugs, master fly tiers wove their saltwater "flies" of thread and fur, and charter boat companies chummed up business with blaring videos of giant tuna, fluke and shark being hauled over the gunwales.
Steve Medeiros, president of the Rhode Island Saltwater Anglers Association, said the recreational fishing industry seemed to weather the recession well.
It continues to bring in millions of dollars to the Rhode Island economy — as much as $179 million in 2011, according to one study, he said.
In a fisherman's mind, "every winter is a bad one," he said, "because you can't be fishing."
Fisherman John Stavrakas left the show with a new harpoon; the old one, he said, bent last year when he threw it into an 8-foot-10-inch mako shark, which, if you are a shark fisherman, is a good way to break a harpoon.
He was looking forward to another season of tight lines and fish stories.
"I've already pulled the shrink-wrap off the boat," he said.

Up to 45% off Dining Room Furniture* | Up to 65% off Jewelry & Watches* | Up to 70% off Select Area Rugs* | Up to 25% off Select Bedroom Furniture* |
Here is the great basic American cookbook�with more than 1,990 recipes, plain and fancy�that belongs in every household.
Originally published in 1896 as The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book by Fannie Merritt Farmer, it becamethe coobook that taught generations of Americans how to cook. Completely updating it for the first time since 1979, Marion Cunningham made Fannie Farmer once again a household word for a new generation of cooks.
What makes this basic cookbook so distinctive is that Marion Cunningham, who is the personification of the nineteenth-century teacher, is always at your side with her forthright tips and comments, encouraging the beginning cook and inspiring the more adventurous. She knows what today's cooks are looking for, and she has a way of instilling confidence and joy in the act of cooking.
In giving the book new life, Mrs. Cunningham has been careful always to preserve the best of the old. She has retained all the particularly good, tried-and-true recipes from preceding editions, retesting and rewriting when necessary. She has rediscovered lost treasures, including delicious recipes that were eliminated when practically no one baked bread at home. This is now the place to find the finest possible recipes for Pumpkin Soup, Boston Baked Beans, Carpetbag Steak, Roast Stuffed Turkey, Anadama Bread, Indian Pudding, Apple Pie, and all of the other traditional favorites.
The new recipes reflect ethnic influences�Mediterranean, Moroccan, Asian�that have been adding their flavors to American cooking in recent years. Tucked in among all your favorites like Old-Fashioned Beef Stew, New England Clam Chowder, Ham Timbales, and Chicken Jambalaya, you'll find her cool Cucumber Sushi, Enchiladas with Chicken and Green Sauce, or a layered dish of Polenta and Fish to add variety to your repertoire. Always a champion of old-fashioned breakfasts and delectable desserts, Mrs. Cunningham has many splendid new offerings to tempt you...
This is a basic cookbook for all of you who would like to learn basic techniques instead of going to the store and purchasing pre-formed, pre-packaged products. If you want to learn how to use kohlrabi or how to make puff pastry this is the cookbook for you. It explains how to use produce, meats and dry goods without going into the realms of haute cuisine. Save yourself a lot of heartache and buy this cookbook before you buy the fancy, glossy pictured cookbooks that tell you "go to the store freezer section and buy a package of puff pastry:" This book tells you how to make almost everything you will ever need to know from scratch. An excellent resource.
As usual, the book I ordered was shipped timely and arrived in excellent condition.
I already had this cookbook but, order this one as an early gift for my granddaughter. She's a teenager and has a real interest in cooking,baking,etc. She loves it. It is so easy to follow and has so many recipes. This is a good book for someone just learning or long time cooks! Grat value. Luv overstock.com!!
I have always loved this cook book and was so glad to find a new copy at such a reasonable price. Thank you for the great service.
I had a very old copy that I have used for the last 30 years whenever I need a basic recipe or "how to" for cooking meats, sauces, desserts. It was so old it was falling apart so getting this new copy was great and nice to have updated layout. I think it is one of the best all around basic cookbooks.

Following their critical comments about ballooning costs, county commissioners will get an update Tuesday on the Siesta Key Beach improvement plan.
Last month, commissioners complained that the price tag on the project doubled to about $20 million.
County parks employees will brief commissioners on the current plan.
The ambitious project calls for a large observation deck, more than 300 more parking spaces, most of them unpaved; landscaped parking-lot islands; landscaped circular entryway; new concession building; new restrooms; park-wide walkway; elimination of the public safety building at the beach entrance; nature trails; and paver walkways from the parking lot to the beach.
