Slight stumble under light load - 1995 ETC
Last week I bought my first American car, a 1995 Eldorado with the 4.6 300hp engine. On the test drive before buying the car ran very good, but now i'm experiencing a stumble in the engine when cruising. The car idles good (600 rpm), but when driving with slight throttle or on cruising speed, the engine stumbles slightly. It's not bad but noticeable. When i press the throttle more than 20% open, the car runs good and quick. The MPG is normal.
I already searched the forums, and learnt to pull the codes. But there's no engine error code at all.. only for the rear right suspension solenoid (S027). I cleaned the coil pack connectors, the throttle body and the coil pack ground cable. Didn't help. The spark plug wires look pretty new, but the plugs didnt so I replaced them today, but that didnt fix the problem.
The old spark plugs all had the same color, so I don't think it's a bad injector. Those engines are new for me, so I don't really know what to do now. Does somebody have a idea or suggestion to solve my problem?

Re: Slight stumble under light load
Welcome, jonkheer. How dirty was the throttle body? I know my car is a little different and a little later than yours, but I got significant improvement when mine exhibited such stumbling by cleaning a rather filthy TB.
Also, I've read that you can't really tell for sure how old plug wires are just by looking at them.
I've also heard that some of these cars can be pretty picky about the spark plugs, insisting on the correct delco part number--no substitutions tolerated! Try a search here on "correct spark plug", or some such. But, again, I'm not sure this applies to your eldo.
Sorry I can't be much help. Smarter people are likely making their way to your post as we speak. I just thought I might help get the ball rolling.

I have been having the same issue kind of relieved its not looking like a bigger issue. I bought some throttle body cleaner will post results...
Post results if possible I've been having the same issue plan on cleaning the TB
Re: Slight stumble under light load
I agree with Slice. Looks are no indication of how good the wires are. When I had a slight misfire on my '97, a new set of wires cured it. They looked good too.
Here's the (lengthy) thread if you care to read it.
Re: Slight stumble under light load
The throttle body was not very dirty. There was some carbon buildup inside, but not bad. I only cleaned it to be sure.
But.. er... i'm afraid that my local car parts shop sold me the wrong spark plugs. I got a set of Bosch HR8DCX's from them.. and after reading the suggested spark plug topics here, I understand this is possibly the most wrong choice of all the available brands? Oh well. Lets hope i can return them and get the money back :P
I totally agree about the wires- they look fabulous but I don't know how old they are. I've decided to buy 8 new AC Delco 41-950 spark plugs and a fresh set of AC Delco wires. Is 748J the correct part number for those wires? (found at the Rockauto site). There are some American car specialists nearby, so i'm gonna contact them for those parts, instead of the local car store.
Finding those parts can be difficult in Holland.. most of the USA car garages are specialised in older pre-1980 cars so they don't have many stock for modern Yank tanks.
Thanks for the advice so far, I'll keep you updated!
Re: Slight stumble under light load
Yes, 748J are the correct wires. 9748J will work too. They are cheaper, but not custom cut to length.
Re: Slight stumble under light load
Well, i spent my last weekend troubleshooting the Eldorado.. I bought new spark plugs and wires, and swapped them. I also cleaned the coil pack connectors during this job.
And.. the car drives a lot better now! But the stumble is still there, now only sometimes and less noticeable...
During last Friday night I drived the car for the first time in the dark, and i noticed something strange; ALL the lights are flashing! Not on-off, but from normal to bright and back, with a frequency of 2 times a second. This frequency doesnt change, it stays the same in the entire rpm range. When the engine is shut off, everything works in good order without flashing.
When I start the engine again, everything starts to flash and it doesn't stop doing that.. only when I shut the engine down.
Pretty weird.. so i went to investigate the problem today. I pulled the codes, and got a 'battery voltage too high' error. But the voltage always floats around 14.2-14.8 volts while driving, sometimes it spikes above 15v for a few seconds, thus generating the error. I thought the problem was lying in the voltage regulator, but the alternator with built-in regulator (i think) is brand new..
So I cleaned all the battery cables, ground connections and negative engine connection. I even made a additional negative earth cable on the inner wing. That didn't help. I also looked under the dash for faulty wires, but found nothing special.
But i noticed that the fuel pump speed also fluctuates simultaneously with the flashing of the lights, it's pretty noticeable when I keep my head around the fuel tank. Because of this reason, I think the flashing light problem is also the culprit of the stumbling engine, because the fluctuating fuel pump generates pressure spikes in the fuel lines, which makes the engine stumble under light load. Am I correct with this idea?
I'd love to hear a possible solution for this flashing problem.. since I cleaned all the connectors and the fact that the alternator is new, i don't have any ideas anymore for fixing this. I'd like to repair the flashing problem first, to see if the stumbling engine problem disappears simultaneously.
Re: Slight stumble under light load
Relatively rapid rises and falls in the indicated battery voltage are usually the fault of the alternator (actually, voltage regulator, built-in), a bad wiring circuit: fluctuating excitation or field voltage, or a bad/intermittent wire/connector/battery cable.
Rising and falling voltage affects EVERY electrical part of the car - from light bulbs to sensors to the PCM/ECM.
Re: Slight stumble under light load
perhaps a ground?

Re: Slight stumble under light load
If it were my car I would take it to an auto parts store and get the alternator tested in the car. Then pull it and have it tested again.

Re: Slight stumble under light load
As Ranger has said, though, a loose ground could be the cause of these voltage variations.
I don't know if I can go along with the idea of the alternator/voltage regulator being responsible, though. I'm not all that familiar with that part's failure modes, but my sense is that they would be more catastrophic. I may check the FSM's diagnostic chart for your "battery voltage too high" code (exactly what code was that?) for some clues.
Re: Slight stumble under light load
I think I cleaned all the grounds and wires in the engine bay. Are there more grounds in the car to look out for?
The error code is I052 / Battery voltage too high (also pops up sometimes on the dash while driving). The voltage is always around 14-14.6, but occassionaly spikes to 15.5 for a few seconds. This happens sometimes.. i think about 1 time per 2 hours? Not very often.
But where can i find the FSM diagnostic chart? Is 'FSM' the service manual? (which i don't have :P)
Re: Slight stumble under light load
FSM = Factory Service Manual (by Helm Inc. NOT Chiltons or Haynes). Ebay is your friend.
Re: Slight stumble under light load
Well.... I fiddled around with the wires yesterday. I tried to measure resistance in the engine bay main wires, to locate a possibly bad ground or wire. I didn't found any.. but there were some non original wires (somebody had bypassed the starter solenoid wires for no apparent reason), so i removed that rubbish. And I discovered that the + lead on the alternator connection had a spring washer underneath it, instead of on top of the cable connector, so I swapped it over. Nothing too special, and I didn't expect those 'solutions' to actually fix the blinking light problem.
But.. after those jobs.. the lights didn't flash anymore! I was really surprised with that, but also very confident! And the car drove like new again, no stuttering problems anymore!
When driving to work today, there was a small stutter again.. meh. I didn't look out for any flashing lights.. I thought, because I 'fixed' the flashing problem, that the solution laid somewhere else, so i decided to clean up the EGR system. I cleaned all EGR pipes, passages, the valve, and looked under the inlet manifold for small EGR passages. Didn't find them. The starter cable washer on the motor was slightly loose, so I tightened it. When everything was putted back together.. i discovered that my lights were flashing again! AAAARG!
But even when I disconnect the starter motor cable from the battery, the lights keep flashing. When I remove ALL cables from the positive pole of the battery, the lights stop flashing... so I tried another battery, without success. Using jump start cables between engine block and chassis to make good earth also didn't help.
I think I'm gonna pull my alternator out of the car and get the damn thing tested. I don't know another possible solution anymore..
Re: Slight stumble under light load
OK, i pulled out the alternator last week and brought it to a specialized shop to test it. Turns out the alternator is good, so that's one point tracked down.
After putting the alternator back in the car, I tried to test the L circuit on the alternator. If the car runs, and the L circuit is off, the lights don't flicker. The L wire puts a voltage of ~10V on the alternator, which gives ~14,4 volts at the battery. Then I hooked a external power supply on the L pin of the alternator, so I could adjust the input voltage myself. 12 volts on the L gives 16+ volts on the battery (and flickering lights), but when I turn the input voltage to around 3-4V, when the alternator just starts charging (measured 13V at the battery), the lights still flicker..
So I think the L circuit is doing its job as it should.
I also tried two different batteries, without any positive result..
Today I checked the whole engine bay for earth points, found some more at the gearbox, and cleaned everything up. Still no result. The thing what intrigues me is that you clearly hear the alternator working hard when the engine is running, even at stationary rpm with NO accessoires on! The alternator gets pretty hot too. I think the thing is outputting at it's max amps, but why is it doing that..?
Finally, I tried to determine which accessory circuit could be the culprit by pulling out those big 50A fuses out one by one, with the engine running. (well, all except for the ignition fuses of course). That didn't make any difference, so I think the problem must be in the wiring before the fuse box..
Tomorrow I'm gonna look under the inlet manifold again, but the last time i did this, i din't find anything wrong there.. i'm starting to get crazy! HELP!

I think the 2nd Round an interior lineman should be the target. Draft has very good talent at Guard. If they want the Pass Rusher take Branch or Mercilus if they get the chance that is
what about nick (al's son) toon being a 3-5th rd pick for the gmen..noone has mentioned him
[quote user="nycsportzfan"][quote user="tonyt830"][quote user="nycsportzfan"]
*Rumour Has it that Stephon Gilmore is right there with Dre Kirkpatrick as the Number 2 ranked CB in this yrs draft, which comes to no surprise for me, as i've been saying i'm not high on Dre Kirkpatrick, and presonally, i have Casey Hayward ranked higher as well as Gilmore.. I just don't see Kirkpatrick as more then a Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie type CB at his best...*** Heres my personal CB rankings, and u guys might laugh, because of how down i am on Dre Kirkpatrick..
1. Morris Claiborne LSU
2. Casey Hayward Vandy-* God, i love this kids game!
3. Janoris Jenkins No Ala
4. Stephon Gilmore S.Carolina
5. Josh Robinson UCF
6. Brandon Boykin Georgia
7. Dre Kirkpatrick Bama
8. Leonard Johson* Iowa St
9. Jamell Fleming Oklahoma
10. Omar Bolden- Kinda my sleeper CB.. I really like Bolden.. If healthy, he'd be sure 2nd rder...
Guys i don't like- Jayron Hosley,* Dwight Bently, Cliff Harris, Alphonso Dennard... I also got Trumaine Johnson more as a FS then CB... I love Trumaine Johnson by the way!* I like the Giants, like my CB's to have a bit of size to em, hence im just not a fan of guys like Cliff Harris and Jayron Hosley..* I make a exception for some, ala* Brandon Boykin.. [/quote]I agree with your list. I'm sure Claiborne, Jenkins and probably Kirkpatrick will be gone by 32. But I would not be disappointed with Gilmore, Robinson, Hayward or Fleming in the 2nd-4th rd area. I too am a Hayward fan, hell I pull for Vandy living down here in the Nashville area. So when I see a Vandy player getting some love from the media and analysts, it makes me want them to succeed that much more. And what I like about Boykin from Georgia, is that he can contribute in the kick return game.[/quote]* Ya, Boykins versatility is something i really like.. Heck, he can play some WR if u want as well..** He also plays bigger then he is...*** Hayward is just a all around stud.. I don't care if he dosen't run a 4.4 or something, the guy has great instincts and technique.. Hes no slouch against the run, and flat out makes plays.. Hes gonna be such a well rounded CB in this league.. I think whoever gets Hayward, is gonna get RD 1 production, and a future probowler.. I don't see how teams aren't seeing this, but come draft day, we'll see where he goes...[/quote]I think Kirkpatrick is going to end up at safety. He is physical enough for it.
Gilmore fits the Giant mold at CB. I could see them selecting him
[quote user="Redeyejedi"]I think the 2nd Round an interior lineman should be the target. Draft has very good talent at Guard. If they want the Pass Rusher take Branch or Mercilus if they get the chance that is[/quote]
OG class > OT class
[quote user="alau53"]what about nick (al's son) toon being a 3-5th rd pick for the gmen..noone has mentioned him[/quote]
I would fully endorse that. Kids a playmaker and probably would put up big time numbers in another offense
[quote user="nycsportzfan"]
*Heres the way Redeyes* Mock Draft went for the NFC EAST TEAMS... Lets see who did the best within the divison... There were trades in this mock, hence some rd's teams got a few more picks or no picks, or earlier picks in the paticular rd, depending on what the TRADES consisted of...
1. Coby Fleener TE Stanford
2. Trumaine Johnson CB/FS Montana
3. Bobbie Massie OT Ole Miss
4. Dajohn Harris DT U.S.C
5. Nigel Bradham OLB Florida St.
6. Vick Ballard RB Miss St.
7. Cordarro Law DE So. Miss
The Washington Foreskins**
1. Riely Reiff OT Iowa
2. Ryan Tannehill QB Texas A&M
3.* No pick( mock trade)
4. Josh Robinson CB UCF
4. Mike Martin DT Michigan
4. Billy Winn DT Boise St
4. Chris Givens WR Wake Forest
5. Brandon Mosely OT Auburn
5. Justin Bethel CB Presbeytirian
6. James Michael-Johnson LB Nevada
6. Tony Bergstrom OT Utah
7. Emil Igwenagu FB/TE UMASS
7. Danny Coale WR Virginia Tech
Dallas Cowgirls
1. Melvin Ingram OLB/DE S.Carolina (aquired by trade up with Phins)
2. Pick Traded away
3. Jayron Hosley CB Virginia Tech
4. Dominique Hamilton DT Mizzo
4. Jeff Allen OT Illinois
5. Russell Wilson QB Wisconsin
5. Terrence Fredrick CB Texas A&M
6. Emmanuel Acho LB Texas
6. Jarrett Boykin WR Virginia Tech
7. Taylor Thompson TE S.M.U
Philthy Eagles
1.* Courtney Upshaw DE/OLB Alabama
1. Mark Barron S Alabama (mock trade)
2. Alamadea Ta'amu DT Washington
3. Pick traded away(mock trade)
4.* Kirk Cousins QB Michigan St.
4. Nick Toon WR Wisconsin
5. Senio Kelemente G Washington
6. Matt Reynolds OT B.Y.U
7. No Pick (mock trade)
Ingram is the one guy I never wanted for the Cowboys.
I don't see Eagles taking Upshaw. Maybe trading up for Coples, otherwise, I suspect DT. With that wide 9, they can stand to get a 2gap DT. With that said, I don't think Ta'Amu applies as he looks like your prototypical 0. Washburn still loves his guys shooting upfield.
I would say Dallas [no mocked trades]
2. Ta'Amu
1. Still/Brockers
2a. Bobby Wager
2b. Chase Minnifield
I don't bother with Washington. They are a huge wildcard in need of a QB.
[quote user="Redeyejedi"]If they want the Pass Rusher take Branch or Mercilus if they get the chance that is[/quote]You think Branch or Mercilus are better pass rushers than Nick Perry? Or do you just not see Perry being available at 32?

And on top of that Tollefson is a FA... I have no problem with Chandler Jones in RD 2... Its also good, becasue it kinda shows me, if they have interest in Whitney Mercilus and somehow he drops down(i surely doubt it), then maybe we get em..
Mayock is putting in work that's for damn sure. Just saw him reporting from Oklahoma St. Pro Day and he looked exhausted. He was at Georgia Tech's pro day, Alabama, Clemson yesterday, and today Oklahoma St. This guy is one of the best in the biz in evaluating prospects and he's been getting his money's worth.

Last time we set off on a significant journey, we were all geared for cycling and camping. However, this is going to be a different type of trip. At first it was very difficult to part with the freedom such things as tent, sleeping bag and stove afford, but we've decided to keep it simple and try something new this time. Also, some of the areas we will be going are not that suitable for biking and camping.
I always hear long term travellers talking about taking less, and the comforts this brings
What a luxury it was to be able to shop in ACTUAL stores with RELIABLE brands! You may remember on our last trip when we sent the bikes home and became 'backpackers'...I had to wander the bowels of Damascus looking for some quality packs. However, this was all I could find. As memorable as they were (memories ingrained on our backs and shoulders as well) they were quickly replaced by new bags as soon as we arrived in Amman, Jordan. These at least resembled backpacks and not suitcases with straps...
I am happy to say that our current bags are only about 30-35 litres each, and even when we pack them, there's still extra room to expand. We really wanted small and easy to carry bags so that we won't be weighed down by them (both literally and figuratively)
So what's in there?
- Malarial Drugs (new to this trip including SE Asia. I'm not a fan, but have been extremely guilted into this. Also, bringing enough for 3 months is no a small amount. I think we have enough preventative protection - see below, but we still have them)
- Mosquito Nets (in case they're not provided or ripped to shreads - treated)
- Deet (in it's many concentrations. I remember stockpiling this in Canada when they outlawed products above a certain concentration. 100% doesn't seem to be a problem getting here...)
- Permetherine (new to us, seems like a wonder insecticide for fabrics. You treat your clothing and insects will actually die on contact - no skeeters biting through jeans. Good even after washing and lasts around 6 weeks, so were taking a bit of extra to re-treat before we head to Borneo...)
- First Aid Kit/Sewing Kit (our own combo of safety pins, thread and needles,bandages and a few tablets)
- Gorilla tape (you never know...came in super hand for fixing our bike racks last time...)
- Super Glue (boyscout training...)
- Towels (small and quick drying)
- Sleeping Liners (our substitution for sleeping bags
- Daypack (for shopping trips, lunches, laundry. Never hurts to have a spare bag)
- Bathroom Bag (has all of our soap, toothbrushes, etc.)
- Snorkels/Masks (being blind, I need my own prescription mask that I got in Egypt :) )
- Dive Cert
- Clothing (bit of this and that. a few choice pieces. mix of warm and cold.)
- KEENS (I LOVE my keens! Wore them throughout our last trip for cycling, hiking, lounging, etc. You can cut down a LOT of space by not having extra pairs of shoes/boots with you. These are comfortable in the heat, but you can put on a pair of socks if you're cold. If it's raining, your foot dries a lot faster than a pair of socks. Oh, also you don't need to pack socks! Great grip and toe protection. Can't say enough! Convinced Brian to finally see the light and he'll be sporting a new pair for this trip as well. I guess this doesn't technically count as something IN our bags, but wouldn't travel without!)
- Sunglasses ('cause we're goin' someplace where the SUN SHINES!!!)
- Rain Gear (Jury's still out on this one - comments appreciated. I don't really want to take our jackets as they're too bulky and I think will be too hot to wear. Currently thinking we'll be able to get umbrellas or sexy ponchos when needed. In the meantime, our bags have rain covers)
- Swiss Army Knife (don't really need to explain this...)
- Water Bottles (my new favourite piece of gear for this tripplastic situation. These bottles have a full biological filter built into them and will last through many many gallons of water. Read more about them here)
- Headlamps (necessary as electricity may not be always available, as well as for those 2am hikes up mountains for sunrise shots...)
- 2 cameras (my giant SLR and Brian's Lumix for video)
- Tripod (hopefully I'll actually use it this time and not just hike it around the planet)
- SD cards (worried that the hard drive on the computer may give out and easier than clouds or online photosharing sites)
- Journal (I'm so old-fashioned. Please know that these blogs have been written not once, but twice - once by hand and once typed :) )
- Kindle (wonderful addition! Now I have all the guidebooks we could want plus lots of reading material)
- Netbook (faithful Acer bounced around on our bikes for 6 months and has been our prime computer for the last 2 years in the UK
- Mobile Phone
- Tablet (new addition for Brian so he has something to do while I'm doing this..Also, has some great GPS run maps for when we get lost.)
- Chargers, cords and adaptors (waaay too many it's scary. We have just bought a new adaptor. Originally, we had our North American to overseas set; however, since living in the UK, we now have gear with a UK as well as European plugs. Our new adaptor matches EVERYTHING to ANYTHING and also charges USB)
- Dry Bags (waterproofing for computers, journals, etc.)
- Compression bags (does a great job shrinnking our clothing down to NOTHING. Also waterproof - bonus!)
- Locks (can't believe my old highschool locker lock is still around)
- Goodies and gifts (I have an assortment of photos, postcards, and Canadiana to give to our hosts and people we meet. One of the things that floored us on our last trip was the overwhelming kindness and generosity of people. We're also more involved in couch surfing now than we were before, so I plan to do this on the trip. Also packed in is a few balloons and bubble gum to share with any children we may meet).
- Toys and Games (for a little entertainment during down times)
- ooops, almost forgot the passports!

An excellent stay. I recommend it 100%. the house and the room spotless. the room is very large and comfortable. The ideal heating temperature. breakfast great assortment had as many things. and Alessandro majisimo.el train and tram stops are just 3 minutes walk. and you're 2 stops from the center. if I go to Rome I will stay in this house.
Una estancia inmejorable. os lo recomiendo al 100%. la casa y la habitación están impecables. la habitación es muy grande y confortable. La temperatura de la calefacción perfecta. el desayuno genial ya que había surtido de muchas cosas. y alessandro majisimo.el tren y tranvía se encuentran a apenas 3 minutos andando. y estas a 2 paradas del centro. si vuelvo a ir a Roma volveré a alojarme en esta casa.
Alessandro is a very attentive and friendly host. He tried to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The perfect room, fully equipped galley and Alessandro offers a breakfast variado.La great location as you link with Piazza Venezia with tram line 8.
Definitely we repeat.
Alessandro es un anfitrión muy atento y amable. Intentó que nuestra estancia fuese lo mas cómoda posible. La habitación perfecta, la cocina muy completa y Alessandro ofrece un desayuno variado.La ubicación estupenda, ya que enlazas con Plaza Venezia con la linea 8 del tranvía.
Sin duda repetiremos.
The location of the room in Rome was good, the room was clean, the owner Alessandro Pocci very nice and helpful. In short - how were very pleased.

Cosy kitchen where you can eat your breakfast. Trainstation nearby which can take you to trastevere in only 2 minutes. Would definitely recommend this place if you want to have a comfortable stay for a good price.
Very welcome, room and bathroom very clean.
Alessandro is available, accomodating and discreet.
Excellent quality / price ratio.
Très bon accueil, chambre et salle de bain très propre.
Alessandro est disponible, arrangeant et discret.
Excellent rapport qualité/prix.
Super! Sympathetic and unobtrusive hosts. The accommodation with bedroom, shared kitchen and bathroom with shower is perfect for a city break in Rome. Highlight the good location. The apartment is located in a pleasant neighborhood in which you can experience real Roman daily life, but also close to the center. We have achieved all the major attractions on foot. People who do not like to run, quickly come up with the tram 8, which holds a few feet away, directly in the center. Plus also the free Wi-Fi.
I will definitely be back over here. :-)
Super! Sympathischer und unaufdringlicher Gastgeber. Die Unterkunft mit Schlafzimmer, Küchenbenutzung und Bad mit Dusche ist für eine Städtereise nach Rom perfekt. Hervorzuheben die gute Lage. Die Wohnung liegt in einem angenehmen Stadtteil in dem man echten römischen Alltag erleben kann, aber auch nah am Zentrum. Wir haben alle wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß erreicht.

It was a very pleasant stay at Allessandro's bed and breakfast. Our train arrived at 23:00 in Rome and it was no problem that we arrived at Allesandro at 00:00 o'clock. The room was decorated very nicely and everything (including the private bathroom) was very clean. We could use the kitchen with all the equipments and every morning there was a lot of food and drinks. We could even use a laptop. The bed and breakfast is not exactly situated in the heart of Rome, but it's a nice neighbourhood next to Trastevere with good connections to all the curiosities like the Colosseum and the Vatican. We would definitely reccomend the place to other people!
HIGHLY recommended place.
Nice, clean and lively building -the neighbours were friendly and helpful the one time we needed them.
Very close to the train station and a couple of bus stops, so that was a plus. Keep in mind that you'll have to use at least two different means of transport to get to the "center" of Rome -or you could just walk half the distance, like we usually did.
The apartment itself was clean and comfortable.
Breakfast, fridge, stove, coffee machine, towels, hair drier, a fan and even a laptop were provided.
Used to staying in hostels, these were all welcome additions.
Funny locks throughout the building, takes some time getting used to. Kind like playing an adventure game, lol.
Didn't actually get to meet Alessandro, Emanuela was very helpful though :)
Greetings, Christos
Very nice place to stay during our visit in Rome!
Alessandro, thanks again for your concern when we were lost in Trastevere!
The room was clean and comfortable!
If we ever return to Rome, we hope to see you again!

Travel between friends. We arrived earlier than the check-in, no problem, bath towels available to us with personal information, and room for luggage storage. Immediately we are given the key of the house to be autonomous. Room clean, nicely furnished with new furniture and with every comfort. The private bathroom a few feet from the room, well organized and clean. The breakfast was self-managed but available there was any kind of coffee, tea and juices. Jams and chocolate, biscuits pastries and bread. Upon leaving we were also able to leave our bags in the room and resume in the late afternoon, even though check out was 11am in the morning. Good location with respect to points of interest, well served by public transport (less than 10 min by tram, 2 min by train)

It's not just the boats that have been given an extreme makeover in the new era of the America's Cup. You may have noticed the sailors too are also sporting a very different look these days.
Now decked out in helmets, body armour and life vests, the Team New Zealand crew have been said to look more like astronauts than sailors.
Previously, all they really had to worry about was protecting themselves from the sun, and maybe a bit of rope burn. If it was a dry day, they could comfortably get away with wearing a hat, shorts and T-shirt - some of the crew were even known to wear jandals on board during a training day.
But with the event shifting to super-powered wingsail catamarans capable of reaching speeds in excess of 45 knots (83km/h), the emphasis on safety and risk management on board has increased dramatically.
As well as all the protective gear, the crew also carry oxygen bottles and knives should things go horribly wrong and they are trapped underwater and need to cut themselves free of ropes or netting.
Rescue diver Calvin Hicks is on the team's chase boat every day the AC72 is out on the water, along with a St John Ambulance advanced paramedic, who volunteer their time.
It is fair to say the realities of the new high-danger environment have come as a shock to all the crew at some point.
"The thing that really put the shits up me was the rescue guys came in with St Johns one day and we had a meeting about what would happen in the worst-case scenario and how everything would play out. One of the guys in the chase boat was given the job of recovering bodies - that was when it really hit home," said Team New Zealand grinder Chris McAsey.
He has played a big role in sourcing and developing the team's safety gear. His challenge has been trying to strike the right balance between having adequate protectionand ensuring the team can still perform their roles in an athletic environment.
"We've got used to the gear now, initially it did feel a bit cumbersome. It was a big change going from just wearing shorts, T-shirt and shoes, where you try and keep any weight off you that you could, to wearing all this stuff," said McAsey.
"But you just know that if the time came and you needed any of this stuff, you'd be grateful for it."
Oracle's capsize in San Francisco Bay last October brought home to everyone just how dangerous the giant catamarans can be. While the Cup defenders suffered severe damage to their boat when it pitch-poled during a training run, the crew were extremely lucky to escape without any serious injuries.
Team NZ already had a comprehensive safety plan in place before they even started sailing their AC72, but the Oracle capsize served as a healthy reminder for the team of why so much time is spent on risk management plans. As a result of the accident, McAsey said they beefed up their safety training.
During some downtime late last year the team were also put through a number of training exercises designed to simulate what the crew would faced if they ever had a catastrophic failure.
In one exercise at the pool, they jumped off a 10m platform so they could experience what it was like falling from a height into water.
Before they did so, a piece of rope was tied around one leg so when they were underwater one of the divers held on to them. The crew then had to find their oxygen bottles, take a breath from it, then take out their knives and simulate cutting the rope before the divers would let go.
"This stuff is all very well in theory, the oxygen bottle is pretty straightforward - you stick it in your mouth and breathe through it, but in an emergency situation it's not that easy," said McAsey.
It's not just catastrophic accidents that the sailors have to worry about. Just falling from the boat while it is travelling at 40 knots would be likely to render you unconscious.
McAsey said he had had a couple of close calls where he had nearly been "flicked off", while just this week Rob Waddell nearly ended up in the drink.
But while it is high-stress stuff, McAsey still gets an "intense buzz" when the AC72 is up on foils flying downwind.

This thread is old, I realize, but I'm dealing with same issue. We either have to power load or crank a LONG way to get my supra 21V loaded. And if I go where I can get the boat in easily then the bow goes under the roller.
It seems the boatmate trailers don't have the bow stop the correct height. Some people have lowered it, but that means major structural welding and I'm not comfortable with that, so this summer I'm going to try and raise my bunks with spacers to see if that helps.
Very frustrating. My bow is showing gel coat damage due to the weight of the boat on the roller. It's totally smashed as we get it loaded, it shouldn't be that way.
Tips on loading boat
Back the trailer way in, pull the boat all the way up so the tip of the bow is maybe 1" from the roller and hook up and lock the winch. Pull the trailer forward just enough to raise the bow over the roller. Crank the winch the rest of the way.
I had your problem all the time, then I started doing it this way, now its easy as pie.2013 Outback V
Tips on loading boat
You can burry your rear truck tires 6" into the water and float on and off every time, only thing you have to worry about is the boat centering, which by pulling out slowly it centers most of the time. I could easily weld front bunks on my trailer but since I started doing it this way I have no need to.-Jake

Tips on loading boat
Shallow ramps. Probably 4-5 ft at full pool and nothing is ever full pool. A couple years ago I walked down one ramp, just under chest deep at the end of the concrete then a straight drop off o about a foot and a half or so. 3 feet father back it was thigh deep...
Powering on washes out the ground at the end of the ramp and then builds a sand bar right behind the ramp. Don't do it in shallow lakes...

PC Hardware in a Nutshell is the practical guide to buying, building, upgrading, and repairing Intel-based PCs. A longtime favorite among PC users, the third edition of the book now contains useful information for people running either Windows or Linux operating systems. Written for novices and seasoned professionals alike, the book is packed with useful and unbiased information, including how-to advice for specific components, ample reference material, and a comprehensive case study on building a PC.In addition to coverage of the fundamentals and general tips about working on PCs, the book includes chapters focusing on motherboards, processors, memory, floppies, hard drives, optical drives, tape devices, video devices, input devices, audio components, communications, power supplies, and maintenance. Special emphasis is given to upgrading and troubleshooting existing equipment so you can get the most from your existing investments.This new edition is expanded to include:
Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of PC Hardware in a Nutshell, Third Edition, is a scallop. The scallop is part of the pecten family, which includes other bivalve mollusks such as clams and oysters. Also called the fan shell or comb shell, scallops can be found on the sandy bottoms of most oceans, in both deep and shallow water. Scallops do not usually stay attached to rocks. Instead, they either rest on the ocean bottom or swim by rapidly opening and closing their shells. The water ejected by the movement pushes them forward and allows them a freedom of movement unusual in bivalves.The scallop's shell is made up of calcium carbonate and other minerals embedded in an organic matrix secreted from a layer of tissue called the mantle. The upper and lower halves of the shell connect at a straight hinge line that can measure from one to six inches. The shell's paired valves have sharp edges and undulating ridges that radiate out in the shape of a fan and range in color from red to purple, orange, yellow, or white. Sarah Sherman was the production editor, and Audrey Doyle was the copyeditor for PC Hardware in a Nutshell, Third Edition. Matt Hutchinson and Claire Cloutier provided quality control. Reg Aubry, Derek Di Matteo, and Jamie Peppard provided production assistance. Nancy Crumpton wrote the index.Hanna Dyer designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman. The cover image is an 18th-century engraving from the Dover Treasury of Animal Illustrations. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's ITC Garamond font.David Futato designed the interior layout. This book was converted by Andrew Savikas to FrameMaker 5.5.6 with a format conversion tool created by Erik Ray, Jason McIntosh, Neil Walls, and Mike Sierra that uses Perl and XML technologies. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans Mono Condensed. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano and Jessamyn Read using Macromedia FreeHand 9 and Adobe Photoshop 6. The tip and warning icons were drawn by Christopher Bing. This colophon was written by Colleen Gorman.

Comments about oreilly PC Hardware in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition:
In 2003, when I bought this book, I would have given it five stars. This book helped me make decisions about hardware to install in a PC that I was building. It was particularly useful because the authors weren't trying to sell me any particular item or brand. Having said that, this is the kind of book that absolutely MUST be updated at least annually. Today, in 2012, it is so far out of date as to be useless. I wish the authors would write a new edition, because I want to build another PC.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

PC Hardware in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition Review
By Scott
What a joy to use! Having used the Macintosh platform for 17 years, I really needed to become PC savvy , and in a hurry, for a client project I agreed to work through. This is THE DEFINITIVE reference work to learn the ins and outs of PC bits and pieces. After reading this book (cover to cover) I purchased another guide to PC Upgrade and Repair, twice as thick, but with not even half as much useful info as the O'Reilly guide offered. This one is all you need!

Shouldn't there be mention of networks & modems in here?I hate to harp on this because otherwise it looks like a marvelous book.... I ordered it from Amazon thinking that being a brand-new edition and from O'Reilly this will almost certainly be the most up-to-date general reference for PC hardware I'm likely to find.But I'm a bit dismayed at the fact that, after looking at the index and table of contents and flipping through the text, I can't seem to find a reference to network cards or modems at all. I see on page 5 there's a note saying that LAN is one of the less commonly available integrated functions on motherboards, which (having spent the last month shopping for components) strikes me as incorrect. 10/100 Ethernet or Gigabit LAN are available on many motherboards these days. Shouldn't there be a chapter explaining the difference between the two? I wouldn't expect a guide on installing home networks or anything, but maybe something addressing the differences between NIC, 56k modem, DSL, cable modem, and so on. And maybe some common configuration and troubleshooting issues? One doesn't build a computer without a networking component of some kind, these days.

Scare trade: Halloween candy you can feel good about
For most of us, Halloween has a strong association with candy. When you're little, you get to dress up and run around your neighborhood collecting it for free. When you're a bit older, you get to dress up, get drunk, and buy it steeply discounted on Nov. 1. And when you're a parent, you get to supervise kids on their candy-collecting mission, and sneak some after bedtime. Along with all this candy is the sense that, however old you get, Halloween signals a brief return to innocence.

You did a beautiful job painting your FW's! It makes me want to look for one that needs painting - maybe a soft pink! I guess I will add that to my wish list!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
You did a beautiful job painting your FW's! It makes me want to look for one that needs painting - maybe a soft pink! I guess I will add that to my wish list!
There may be times we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest. - Elie Wiesel
Wow! I really love the purple one!
I would love a deep red FW but all of mine are in too good of a shape to paint them. I do have a couple of 66's and also a 301 that are in terrible shape (cosmetically) that I'm considering having painted. I also like those paints that look different depending on how the light is falling on them.
I think your FW's are so cute. I was just wondering how does one go about painting a machine. Are you able to paint them at home , or are they painted like you would paint a car? Like in a Car Body shop. I would love to have a red FW. When Joe was talking about the color he would like, I thought I would also like one the colors of our Saskatchewan Rough Rider football team. Bright green & white.LOL.
My second FW is a purple one (it's my avatar). I was a purist and only liked them in the original color, so I bought a black one. Then last spring I saw an ad on craigslist for this purple one and it was a VERY good price. I have to admit I love it. It just makes me smile. And if it makes anyone feel better, judging by the condition of the case it was probably pretty rough condition before the repaint. But I love it! it's so pretty!
So many hobbies ... So little time

Skyangel: I love the purple one in your avatar. Do you have a close-up picture of it?
I'm repainting a 301 in a berry pink. I have it to the point where the decals were just applied. In a day or two I will continue with more clear coat...it will be finished soon. I'm also working on 5 featherweights, 1 purple, 1 bright red, 1 a metallic blue, 2 a metallic darker red. These machines were all in really bad shape, cosmetically, but now they're looking great.

A Newport Classic on Bellevue Avenue

- Nightly Turndown Service with Chocolates

The Destination
The summer home of presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy, the storied beach town of Newport, Rhode Island, is anything but dead come winter. It may be a nip chillier on Aquidneck Island, but the beaches are beautiful (especially with a light dusting of snow, which makes for cozy, romantic nights), and the Newport Mansions are always a sight to behold. "One of the best ways to see the mansions is by bicycle," says Lonely Planet. "Cruising along Bellevue Avenue at a leisurely place allows you to enjoy the view of the grounds, explore side streets and paths, and ride right up to the mansion entrances."
The Digs
The Inn on Bellevue is an historic Newport bed and breakfast only two blocks from the downtown waterfront. Built in 1891, the inn pays homage to its long history with period-appropriate Victorian furnishings. Elegantly decorated rooms offer basics like cable TV and free Wi-Fi, while some have jetted tubs or welcome pets. Each morning, you'll wake to a delicious breakfast served with sweet mimosas.
The Diversions
Miles of diverse shoreline and the National Historic Landmarks known as the Newport Mansions provide plenty to admire on Aquidneck Island. If the beach isn't your thing, browse hundreds of boutiques—selling everything from high-end clothing to local artisans' wares—along Newport's Bellevue Avenue. For dinner, try fresh-caught Atlantic lobster and a decadent dessert at local-favorite the Gas Lamp Grille.
"Staying at the Inn on Bellevue is always a good time. I write this as I am sitting down to breakfast in the parlor. This is my third visit to this inn, and it just does not disappoint."-- TripAdvisor

Collins: Other Republicans told me they wished they could have voted for the stimulus
posted at 2:05 pm on February 16, 2009 by Allahpundit
Skip ahead to 1:45. Specter said the same thing this weekend and was met with utter incredulity by our commenters. I'm skeptical too, but not because I put it past most members of the Senate GOP caucus; if the leader of the party is willing to say they can't be trusted, it's safe to take him at his word. Rather, I just can't figure out who the secret stimulus fans might be. See my analysis in the Specter post and feel free to offer theories.
The comic highlight here: Snowe's invocation at 1:05 of the "original principles of the Republican party." Which original GOP principle was it, I wonder, that calls for trillion-dollar Keynesian experiments in spending as a solution to recession? Note also how careful CBS was to include Collins's salute to Margaret Chase Smith, who was "known for taking on her party." The media's Strange New Respect for these two ain't that strange, is it?

Box Score
Junior attackmen Jake McHenry scored with 49 seconds remaining in the second overtime period to lift the Hobart College lacrosse team to a 9-8 ECAC Lacrosse League win at Bellarmine University this afternoon. McHenry buried a shot from right in front on the edge of the crease thanks to a feed from junior attackman Cam Stone.
Stone and junior attackman Alex Love shared game-high honors with five points apiece. Love's four goal day included a first half hat trick while Stone handed out a game-high three assists. Sophomore Gryphin Kelly dominated the faceoff X winning 14-of-21 restarts. He also matched his career-high with a game-high eight ground balls. On the defensive end, junior goalie Peter Zonino made 13 saves. Senior defenseman Reid Rosello was credited with one caused turnover, raising his season total to 20, matching his own school record set last year.
Bellarmine, ranked 20th in the nation in the Nike/Inside Lacrosse media poll, got a first half hat trick from long-stick midfielder Bobby Schmitt and Brogan Hill scored twice. Schmitt also had a game-high four caused turnovers. Karsen Leung handed out a pair of assists. Goalie Dillon Ward also recorded 13 saves.
Ward began the week first in the country in save percentage, but Hobart (5-6, 2-3) had his number early, scoring on three of their first four shots on goal. Stone scored on the Statesmen's first shot of the game and then two minutes later, set up Love for a 2-0 lead. Schmitt got the Knights (7-4, 3-4) on the board midway through the first quarter, but Love scored an extra-man goal with 2:47 remaining to give Hobart a 3-1 lead through 15 minutes.
Schmitt opened the second quarter scoring, but the Statesmen rang up three straight goals for a 6-2 lead with 4:28 left in the half. Sophomore midfielder Zach Reed started the run with an unassisted strike at the 7:36 mark. Three minutes later, Love fired a cross-crease pass to Stone, who scored an easy goal on a wide-open net. Twenty-six seconds after that, Love beat Dillon again.
Schmitt completed his three goal day with his final marker, 2:16 before the half. The goal was the last of the first half, but it launched a protracted comeback run by BU. Hill scored both of his goals in the third quarter while the defense shut out Hobart to make it a 6-5 game heading into the fourth quarter.
Cameron Gardner and Dylan Gatt scored back-to-back in the fourth quarter to give the Knights their only lead of the game, 7-6, with 6:19 remaining in regulation. The Statesmen had lost 14 consecutive games when yielding four or more goals in a row.
Hobart ended its 29-minute scoring drought when first-year midfielder Frank Brown finished a feed from Stone. Sixty-four seconds after that, Love netted his team-leading 36th goal of the year. He's now just two goals off the Hobart Division I season record he set last season. Love also moved up to third on the Statesmen Division I career goals list with 89, passing Jared Beebe '00 (87) and John Bogosian '03 (88) and moving within three of No. 2 Jamie Breslin '01.
BU's Michael Ward scored with 2:37 left in the fourth quarter to force overtime.
Zonino made a save in the final minute of regulation. In the waning seconds of the first overtime, Hobart survived a flurry of chances by Bellarmine. Gardner hit the post with 21 seconds left and Zonino made his final save of the day as the period expired, setting the stage for McHenry and Stone's heroics.
Stone has 26 assists on the year, tied for third on Hobart's Division I season list, just three of his total from last season. Jamie Kirk '07 holds the record with 38 in 2007.
Hobart held a 35-33 edge in shots and a 14-8 advantage in faceoffs while going 1-for-2 with the extra-man. Bellarmine won the battle for ground balls 31-27 but was 0-for-3 with the extra-man.
It's the first time in the history of the Hobart lacrosse program that the Statesmen have won consecutive overtime games (Hobart beat Colgate 9-8 in OT earlier this season). It's also the first time the Statesmen have won a double overtime game in five all-time chances.
Hobart will be back in action on Tuesday, April 16, when the Statesmen visit the Carrier Dome. The annual Kraus-Simmons Trophy game against Syracuse will face off at 7 p.m. The game will be televised by Time Warner Cables SportsChannel.

Wurlitzer, Rudolph 1938–
An American novelist and screenwriter, Wurlitzer has written three experimental and controversial novels. Flats and Quake comment on the vacuity of American society by examining violent post-apocalyptic urban landscapes, while Nog (published in England as The Octopus) has an alienated and disoriented protagonist. (See also CLC, Vols. 2, 4, and Contemporary Authors, Vols. 85-88.)
Edwin Morgan
The Octopus has an intense, hallucinatory quality that is impressive, but at the same time I would regard it as a less original and less startling achievement than [Robert] Creeley claims. 'The first decisive writing,' he says, 'to make adamantly clear what present experience of "people and places" is really all about.' More modestly, the book describes a fairly familiar sort of alienation and disturbance of mind, in a vivid American context certainly, but in style and method strongly reminiscent of both Beckett and Golding, to say nothing of lesser writers who have already explored similar territory. The hero—perhaps recovering from some mental illness (as is suggested by a nurse figure at one point),...
(The entire section is 208 words.)
Clarence Major
In one sense [Quake is] really an old fashioned adventure story where you see the hero—narrator—going through many changes, though without being changed; except in the end he loses touch even with language. We are brought into the company of an assortment of people in Los Angeles at the Tropicana Motel, who are either in shock or hysterical because suddenly the earth is falling to pieces. If this represents the collapse of anything, let's hope it also represents the collapse of the more artificial aspects of the conventional novel. By artificial, I mean such things as sentimental character development or the innocent but silly attempt to imitate Life as We Know It. No such thing is possible and Wurlitzer...
(The entire section is 322 words.)
Douglass Bolling
In Nog (1969) and Flats (1970) Wurlitzer demonstrated a remarkable ability to penetrate to the controlling forms and feelings at work below the surface of a profoundly confused, anarchical, and vacuous American society and mentality. His incisiveness together with fusions of the ironic, the grotesque, and the comic, the deployment of a relatively cool or detached first-person narrator, and a deceptively unassuming style is found again in his third novel, Quake (1972). Wurlitzer draws upon the strengths of his earlier fictions in a way which gives Quake a freshness and validity of its own. Like Flats the most recent novel explores the apocalyptic vein but in a manner more nearly that...

Original post made by Jill, Crescent Park, on Jan 8, 2007

Good question, I have the same problems.
We like Sizzlers, Chilis and Fresh Choice in Mountain View, Applebees in Redwood City. Depending on the age of your children, we like The Roadhouse on Castro Street in Mountain View, but it isn't really for the very young.
Unfortunately, can't think of anywhere suitable in Palo Alto, but would really love to get ideas from others.

Compadres in south Palo Alto on El Camino and Hobees are both good places, depending on the age of your kids. Compadres has a special deal for kids, I believe on Sunday nights, and Hobees has a kids menu that is very reasonable. With a Hobees coupon from Pizzaz you get a two-for-one adult meal any night of the week too!

Fresh Choice
Olive Garden - they have a kids menu, very reasonable prices. They let you substitute wheat pasta in most cases.

That Pizzaz coupon for Hobee's is not for all locations. Be sure to check the fine print.

We out with our kids way too much...but we find that there are many restaurants that on the outside seem to 'fancy', but are so friendly when you get inside. My kids don't run around in restaurants, but are very picky, and these restaurants have always been so great about making things 'to order'. Good luck!
- Tai Pan (yes, it looks fancy, but they are always sooo kind to our kids!)
- Hunan Garden
- Nola
- Mike's Cafe (both in Palo Alto and Menlo Park)
- Fuki Sushi

- Boston Market

I'll second the ideas for Mikes in Midtown,The Creamery, Bucks, & the FIsh Market.
Also, if no one has mentioned it yet, Max's @ Stanford shopping center. Med. Wraps on California Ave. is also great for kids - you can dine outside in the warmer weather, too.
For a slightly more special night out, my children & I have been very, very, well received @
St. Michael's Alley. We've gone there 6-7 times, & have always had an excellent evening.
In general, I think dining out with children depends mostly on the parents. I've never really had any problems with my 2 very normal, active boys.
Good luck!

Try California Cafe, it's slightly more up-scale than some of the other restaurants mentioned. They do have a children's menu for the younger ones but it is a great place to take your older children and get them used to choosing what maybe different foods off a menu. Don't let them eat too much bread first!!!!!

Pizz'a Chicago is one of our favorites. Also, my kids love Curry House (Japanese) in Cupertino.
a resident of Barron Park
on Feb 8, 2010 at 10:49 pm
I should add: Curry House has very reasonable and yummy kids meals, i.e., meatballs in Japanese curry sauce over rice, corn chowder, breaded prawn, potato wedges, egg slices and cantaloupe for 4.95. They also have spaghetti in tomato sauce and chicken teriyaki with similar sides.

Any Chinese restaurant will be child-friendly. Dishes are served "family style" so kids and adults can eat as much as they want; and you can easily take the left overs home for tomorrow. Different styles of Chinese food (Cantonese vs. Sichuan vs. Shanghai vs. Beijing vs. Mongolian, etc.) taste very different, so you have lots of variety to choose from.

Nuts-and-bolts information to plan your trip, plus a checklist of essentials to include when you pack and a list of links to local media
Entry Requirements: U.S. citizens need a valid passport and tourist visa to enter Russia. A written invitation to visit from a Russian citizen or organization, or proof of pre-booked accommodation (available for a fee from travel agents or hotels) is required to apply to the Russian Consulate for a visa. For visa assistance visit www.visa-russian.ru or www.russianvisa.org.
Visa Registration: Upon arrival, you'll need to complete an immigration form. Customs will check this form and return part of it. Within three working days of arrival, you must register. If you stay in a hotel, it will do this for you. If you stay in private accommodation, agencies around the city can complete the paperwork for you for a fee.
Security: Like any big city be aware of your surroundings and keep track of your valuables. Be on guard for pickpockets in areas popular with tourists.
Time: St. Petersburg is eight hours ahead of U.S. eastern standard time.
Money: The currency of St. Petersburg is the ruble. For current conversion rates go to OANDA Currency Converter. www.oanda.com/convert/classic
Phone Calls: The area code of St. Petersburg is 812. For phone calls to St.Petersburg from within Russia, dial 8 812 7-digit phone number. For phone calls to the city from outside Russia, dial your country's international access code 7 812 seven-digit phone number.
When to Go: St. Petersburg's climate is best described as maritime. It can be humid the year-round. The high summer temperatures of 70ºF (21ºC) are often mitigated by sea breezes. It's frequently sub-zero and snowy during winter. There can be a chill in the air in the fall and spring.
Getting There: American and Canadian tourists will most likely reach St. Petersburg by air. No airlines, however, offer direct flights between the city and North America. You'll have to take a connecting flight from one of about 30 European or Asian cities. You will arrive at Pulkovo 2 airport, ten miles (16 kilometers) south of the city. Alternatively, you might travel by sea, arriving at the passenger terminals on Vasilevsky Island and the Neva embankments. There are also decent rail and bus connections, particularly through Helsinki. All terminals are served by public transport.
Getting Around: St. Petersburg has an excellent transportation system. Using the underground, buses, trolleybuses, trams, and minibuses, you can access virtually any point in the city cheaply and reasonably quickly. Pay a few rubles on board the street transport. Pricier but entertaining are the water taxis. If you have a taste for independent exploration off the beaten track, buy a transport map in a newspaper kiosk or bookstore.
Tips: "Dress as you would at home."—Victor and Jennifer Louis, authors, Insight City Guide: St. Petersburg. Pack both comfortable and dress clothes. And since the weather is changeable, take layers and pack a windproof raincoat or jacket.
Passport/Visa: You'll need your passport and a Russian visa before you even step on a plane heading for St. Petersburg. And if you're arriving by land or sea likewise be sure to arrange your visa well in advance.
Proof of HIV-Negative Status: For those staying longer than three months you'll need a recent HIV-negative certificate.
Footwear: Stout waterproof shoes or boots good for walking are a necessity, particularly fall through spring.
Headgear, Coat, and Gloves: Be prepared for the cold anytime from late October to mid-April. Fur is acceptable in St. Petersburg.
Insect Repellent: The mosquito season usually runs from August to early October. Be prepared and save money by bringing insect repellent from home.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Yep, GrannyQ, you nailed them perfectly!!
Here's my Ella's Star...went together much more quickly than the Doe and Darts! I was able to get it and one other block finished today plus another block more than half done.
Great block, Carrie. Having all of those blocks ready to see is paying off and you're speeding right along.
Are those birds in the light blue. Their angles reinforce the narrow triangles of the block. Good fabric choice!
Don't worry spider.
I keep house
I donate quilts to the AAQI.
Oooo that's beautiful!!!!!
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
Ok--Yes, those are little birds. I got it with the "bird's eye view" block in mind, but liked it here too.
Ggal--I agree having the fabrics all pre-cut has been a big help!
I was able to get Eastertide done today. The white looking fabric is actually cream (sot sure why it got so washed out in the picture). The corners were giving me some trouble (stretched fabric too much trying to get the y-seams) so I just used the green fabric instead...
Next block is started...won't have time to finish until tomorrow afternoon.
Nice Block Carrie! I left the corners off completely & just made the radiating fabric go all the way ta the corner. Ya did good girl!
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
Very striking-we all remember how we struggled with those corners!!
Don't worry spider.
I keep house
I donate quilts to the AAQI.

The Law and Science of Animal Welfare
Why can you step on an ant but would be arrested if you beat a dog?
When it comes to our relationship with animals there are a lot of contradictions. There are some species that we welcome into our homes, feed and care for. Other species are food, pests, or simply beneath our concern. In Australia, as in many parts of the world, there are laws designed to protect the welfare of animals. But, which species do animal welfare laws actually protect and does it make sense biologically?
To unravel the Law and Science of animal welfare James was joined in the studio by Jed Goodfellow from the RSPCA and Macquarie University Law School as well as Professor of Evolutionary Biology at Macquarie University, Michael Gillings.

I went to the PM General Store and talked to them about suits and all kinds of other things. They are really friendly and helpful down there. That's where I bought the suit. I have an entry (well, a couple of entries) about it on my blog.
I like the suit. It fits well and I haven't been stung yet. I got the fencing type veil and I didn't like it. So I ordered and received the round veil as a replacement (so now I have two. I'll use the fencing veil as a spare). It was made in India. You can't get it on over boots. But I haven't had any trouble with it yet. However, the zipper is a little stiff, and every time I put it on I think about waxing the zipper, but never seem to get around to it. Maybe next time.

The Boston Phoenix has been covering the trends and events that shape our times since 1966. These selections, culled from our back files, were compiled by Dan Peleschuk, Ian Sands, and Eva Wolchover.
Silent treatment | 5 years ago | October 26, 2001 | Dan Kennedy found the media was holding its tongue on the issue of electoral corruption in Florida. "So, did George W. Bush really win the presidency? Or was Al Gore cheated out of his rightful victory in Florida? In the post–September 11 world, the contested 2000 election seems like a dusty historical artifact. Bush has, for the most part, been reassuringly steady in the early days of the war on terrorism. And Gore himself recently said, 'We are united behind our President Bush.'
"But the truth — especially about something as important as a presidential election — has intrinsic value. Which is why it's distressing to learn that the media consortium recounting the Florida ballots (the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and CNN, among others) has put its million-dollar-plus project on hold.
"The recount was suspended with little comment in the media. Eric Boehlert recently wrote a detailed piece for Salon in which he suggested that the consortium members were spooked by the notion of undermining the commander-in-chief at a time of national crisis; but there's been damn little elsewhere. . . .
"Bush is the president. That's not going to change. But the mess in Florida was an ugly episode. Bush entered the White House despite having lost the popular vote nationwide by 500,000 ballots, and despite no one's having any real idea who won Florida. It's important that the record be set straight, if only to reduce the chance of such a thing happening again."
Race train | 10 years ago | October 25, 1996 | Amid charges of racism and violence at Amtrak, Sarah McNaught reported on the company's attempts to remedy the situation. "In the wake of a Phoenix report two weeks ago ('Hate Train,' October 11), Amtrak has launched internal investigations into 16 incidents of racism and violence at the engineering division of the company's Boston commuter-rail operation, which it runs under contract for the MBTA.
"Documents obtained by the Phoenix, as well as interviews with several workers, revealed a 10-year pattern of public humiliation and physical assault, as well as racist jokes, slogans and posters.
"Amtrak's initial reaction, the day after the Phoenix report appeared, was to assemble a task force of four executives from the company's Northeast headquarters in Philadelphia. The task force spent three and a half days in Boston interviewing workers about the incidents in the story, and is responsible for preparing a plan of action for dealing with racism and violence in the company. . . .
"[Senator John] Kerry, for his part, was notified about the problems at the engineering division this past April, and followed up with a letter of inquiry to Amtrak. But the senator has not responded to several calls from the Phoenix about the recent developments, and Kerry campaign spokesperson Larry Cartman could say only, 'The senator's staff are following this.' Cartman says he is going to suggest to Kerry's staff that the Justice Department be informed of the incident at Amtrak.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but there's certainly more than a few
buildings around the world so unattractive, you wonder how they ever got off
