I just recently bought a 1992 Cabriolet which seemed to be running well. It only has about 63k miles on it and the interior is clean, so I jumped on it. I fully expected to pour some money into this machine to make it REALLY awesome, but it was pretty awesome when I got it.
Here's the issue... or at least the first of I'm sure many that I will post.
This morning I took the car to work. It's about a 40 mile trip, all highway. When I got close to my office, I had to stop at a stop sign. As I went to proceed, the power choked for a while and then died. I stopped for a minute and tried to restart the engine. On about my third attempt, it started back up, and I drove up to the office, another half mile with no incidents. When I got parked, I popped the hood and got a scent of something burning. It seemed to be coming from the right side of the engine, between the battery and the engine.
Here's some of the background that may be helpful:
I just got it back from my mechanic, whom I fully trust. He had changed out the valve gasket cover and changed the oil. I changed all the spark plugs, wires, and distributor cap about two weeks ago. Other than these things, I have no idea when any maintenance had been done to this vehicle. It did not come with records.
Odd performance items that may or may not have any bearing on this problem:
- When idling after warm, the engine pressure drops below 1 bar to about .8, and my light starts to blink. This was happening consistently when I first got the vehicle, diminished when I had put 20w50 oil, as recommended here, and now has started again after I had the oil changed.
- The exhaust sounds kinda like a diesel. Lots of put put put put putting.
- When first started up, my engine has a hard time finding the correct idle speed, as described in the link above. It revs up and then down and then up and down. After about a minute or two, it settles down.
So, should I drive it home? Anyone know what my problem(s) is/are?

UF gymnasts open title defense at NCAA regional
Published: Saturday, April 5, 2014 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 4, 2014 at 9:27 p.m.
Saturday in the Penn State University Rec Hall, the top-ranked Florida gymnastics team begins defense of the program's first NCAA title when the Gators are joined by five other teams for the University Park Regional beginning at 4 p.m.
NCAA gymnastics
Who: No. 1 Florida (15-2) at NCAA University Park Regional Championships
When: Saturday at 4 p.m.
Where: Rec Hall at Penn State
UF has not competed since finishing second at the SEC Championships on March 22, and coach Rhonda Faehn noted it was a welcome break from the grind of competition.
"It's been wonderful," she said. "It was definitely needed. We were able to give the athletes a little bit of downtime after coming back from SECs, so they got kind of a few days' break from doing full routines. When you've been doing them for 3 1/2 months straight, it gets a little tiring.
"It was really a nice benefit to have those few days to not do full routines, but really kind of break down the routines again and do individual skill work. It gave them a little bit of rest both mentally and physically, which was great because they were charged up again when we started going really hard."
This is the ninth straight year Florida has been a top regional seed, and the Gators are the only team in their regional field to have advanced to last year's NCAA Championships.
Joining UF will be No. 12 Oregon State, No. 15 and host Penn State, No. 23 New Hampshire, No. 29 Kentucky and No. 36 Maryland. The top two teams will move on to compete at the 2014 NCAA Championships in Birmingham, Ala., April 18-20.
The Gators won the program's 13th regional title last year in Gainesville — their eighth in the last nine years under Faehn — en route to winning their first NCAA crown.
"We've just been practicing and polishing up everything," sophomore All-American Bridget Sloan said. "Rhonda always emphasizes that for postseason, it's not really about whether you're going to make the routine or not, because we know we're going to make it. It's going to be whether you want it, how bad you want it, and how well you're going to do. We've really been focusing on the smallest details."
While the Gators, who came up just short of winning their third straight SEC title two weeks ago, weren't thrilled with their runner-up finish, they quickly put it in the rear-view mirror.
"Practices have been going great," junior All-American Kytra Hunter said. "After SECs, we came back like usual and watched film, and we definitely saw just all the little things that we could fix. Honestly, we did a great job, and we just need to carry that over to regionals and nationals and just keep our enthusiasm up."
Faehn feels it was a good learning experience for a team that opponents have been aiming at all season.
"Perhaps it was tough for them to say, 'Hey, why do we have this target on our back?'" Faehn said. "I think they felt like that before SECs, but I don't think they feel like that anymore. I think they feel that they have something to prove."
The Gators know what is at stake.
"The team is very excited, because this is the best part of the season," junior standout Rachel Spicer said. "We don't need to change anything up. We just need to go in and have fun like we always do, and we'll hit our routines."

The Baltimore Ravens clinched a playoff berth on Sunday despite the disappointing loss to the Denver Broncos at M&T Bank Stadium, 34-17.
Although the Ravens had officially punched their ticket to the postseason with a 9-5 record, quarterback Joe Flacco isn't proud of being playoff bound with the team currently on a three-game losing streak. The mood in the Ravens locker room isn't exactly high-spirited with the team's recent struggles via Garrett Downing of BaltimoreRavens.com:
"We're a 9-5 football team, and it feels like we're 0-14 right now. But that's just the feeling that you have right after a game like this," Flacco said.
Along with the recent struggles, the Ravens have been dealing with some of their best players on both sides of the football battling injuries. Baltimore was able to get linebacker Terrell Suggs back on the field on Sunday against the Broncos despite the torn biceps muscle, but Ray Lewis was unable to go with his triceps tear.
As if the injuries on the defensive side of the football wasn't costly enough with Suggs not at 100 percent and Lewis still trying to get back on the gridiron, the Ravens also suffered a major blow to the offense on Sunday with wide receiver Torrey Smith going down with a concussion in the loss to the Broncos.
Smith's concussion may severely impact the offense moving forward with the second-year wide receiver quickly becoming Flacco's favorite target downfield. Smith is on pace to surpassed last season's numbers with 44 receptions for 767 yards and seven touchdowns.
With two of their best defensive players nowhere near 100 percent and arguably the best offensive threat in the passing game having an uncertain playing status moving forward, things aren't getting any easier for the Ravens moving forward. Baltimore may have clinched a playoff berth regardless of the loss to the Broncos this past weekend, but it may be a foregone conclusion that this team could be one-and-done in the playoffs.

Part 1 of 6
While reality is universal, each one of us forms a different impression of it based on our psychological development. In the process, we forget that what we believe as our impressions may not be reality. These impressions are generally split into polar categories of 'good' and 'bad.' Thus, we see certain aspects of reality, the material world and humanity, as positive and others as negative. Interestingly, the categorisation of reality into good and bad is fluid. What is positive for one person is negative for another.
Part 2 of 6
Two people working with the same boss can have a completely different perception -- one may think that the boss is encouraging and supportive, while the other may find him harsh and discouraging. Also, for the same individual, what is negative at one point can turn into something positive, later. A teenager who hates his parents for telling him to focus on studies may feel a sense of gratitude towards them later in life.
Part 3 of 6
What we think is 'good' or 'bad', to what extent is it real or imagined? What gratifies and supports our point of view is seen as good and what frustrates us gets labelled as bad. Consequently, we embrace and attribute an exaggerated goodness to one aspect while ridiculing other attributes. The 'idealised version' of any aspect is nothing but a false veneration that refuses to take a critical look at both self and object. Extreme idealisations and exaggerations may be disconnected from reality. We also tend to hate and create an excessively devalued version of the other aspect, the counterpart of what we identify with.
Part 4 of 6
Our mind is inherently programmed to split reality into 'good' and 'bad.' Fear and narcissism are responsible for this splitting. We are scared to encounter pain and wish to restrict ourselves to pleasure. Anything that fulfills our desires becomes good and the rest is considered bad. Secondly, we want people to admire us and fuel our self-love. Hence, anything that makes us feel good about ourselves is exalted and the rest is discarded.
Part 5 of 6
The tendency to split impressions into good and bad becomes the root cause of individual, interpersonal, social and political problems. When we categorise a person, a group, a community, an ideology, a political party or a nation as bad, we are filled with rage. We refuse to understand or engage with it. We give up hope that the negative can also have a positive side. All we want is that the negative entity should either adopt our perspective or get destroyed. This paradoxically forms a vicious cycle of hatred and destruction. The entity we hate starts hating us back with similar intensity.
Part 6 of 6
In order to liberate, we need to repeatedly remind ourselves that the impressions we form are tentative. Rather than accepting our negative feelings towards others as real, we need to put it through rigorous questioning. As a psychologist, I have often found that the ability to understand, accept and celebrate difference needs to be cultivated. Anything that is different from your perspective can also be interesting, genuine and wonderful. If this simple point can be internalised through repeated practice, there will be bliss. Mystic-poet Kabir said, "Bura jo dekhan main chala, bura na milaya koy./ Jo man khoja apna, to mujhse bura na koy." -- I searched for the crooked, but met not a single one./ When I introspected myself, I realised that I was the crooked one.

Chevrolet Repair Questions? Ask a Chevy Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Does it require taking the steering wheel off if so is it better to take it to a dealer or can I do it at home.
There is a difference between changing the ignition switch (electrical part) and changing the ignition lock cylinder (part the key goes into) Sending you instructions for both. Some of it will be repeated, but you should read both so your sure of what your doing. You can rent a steering wheel puller. If you just unhook the battery and wait 10 minutes, that will disable the air bag, so it is safe to work with. Thanks
1995-98 Models
See Figures 3, 4 and 5
CAUTION When performing service around the SIR system components or wiring, the SIR system MUST be disabled. Failure to do so could result in possible air bag deployment, personal injury or unneeded SIR system repairs.
When carrying a live inflator module, make sure that the bag and trim cover are pointed away from you. Never carry the inflator module by the wires or connector on the underside of the module. In case of accidental deployment, the bag will then deploy with minimal chance of injury.
When placing a live inflator module on a bench or other surface, always face the bag and trim cover up, away from the surface.

Thank you for such an in depth answer I believe it is the cylinder lock because we got the truck started by putting the key in and giving it a good whack. If I am off base please let me know.
If everything else was working, there is always the possibility that the starter motor or solenoid was not doing it's job. If it is still dong so it is pretty easy to test the starting system. If not, let me know how far into the tear down you are and maybe we should see about diagnosing some of it first? If the thing still will not engage the starter, see the note below, or let me know what it is doing, thanks
If you are sure the battery is good and fully charged and the cable connections are all good. You will need to check for voltage at the small purple wire on the starter solenoid while some one engages the starter. If you have good voltage at the purple wire and at the large battery terminal both, you will need to replace the starter. If you do not have voltage at the purple wire let me know so we can test the starting system and find where the problem is. I will need to know if it is a standard shift or an automatic. But be sure to check to see if you have any theft or security lights coming on, on the dash first. It may be an issue with the security system also. Thanks, Bob
Thank you very much I will check back with you as I go. I have not started yet I wanted to get answers before I started. I will check the starter first and go from there. You are very informative, and that is awesome!!!

OSOYOOS TIMES-July 14, 2010
By Paul Everest – Osoyoos Times
Following a public hearing where roughly 20 people spoke up, Osoyoos council gave third reading to a zoning amendment that would allow for the development of a marina at the Lions Park lagoon.
Nearly 90 people gathered at the Sonora Community Centre on July 6 for the second public hearing on the matter, followed by a special meeting of council where the reading was given.
The Lions Park lagoon area is adjacent to the Lake Osoyoos Sailing Club and is zoned Parks and Recreation.
The zoning does not include marina operations as a permitted use in the area.
The zoning amendment, if adopted, would allow for a marina to be developed at the site.
At a special meeting on June 24, the amendment was updated to clarify where the amendment would apply — "the immediate area surrounding Lions Park lagoon" — and to provide a definition of a marina.
The definition is "the use of buildings, land or surface of the water for the sale and/or rental of water sports equipment, boats, docking berths, marine supplies and may include the sale of petroleum products."
The marina concept, which has not been approved by council, would have the Town and the developers of the Watermark Beach Resort develop the facility together.
Preliminary designs for the marina include the development of 30 slips within the lagoon, two F-shaped docks each containing 52 slips extending roughly 75 metres out into the lake as well as parking and landscaping alterations to the area.
The idea of developing the marina at the site has raised some concerns within the community and prompted calls from the public for more information about the proposed project.
During the public hearing on July 6, which followed a public hearing held on the matter on May 17, nearly a dozen residents expressed concerns about the project or suggested alternatives to the proposed marina concept.
Five written submissions also brought up concerns regarding the project.
The concerns included the sale of fuel at the site, the effects the marina could have on the neighbouring sailing club, a lack of police patrols on the lake, erosion damage to the shoreline caused by fast-moving boats and parking limitations around the proposed marina site.
Some people suggested that the lagoon should be cleaned up and slips could be developed there without the F-docks.
One local realtor said the Town and the resort should concentrate on developing a marina in the lagoon for a year and, after that time has passed, assess the situation to see if a larger facility would work.
Osoyoos Lake Water Quality Society President Mark McKenney said the society is now taking a "position of neutrality" on the concept but added that the F-docks should not extend 75 metres into the lake, as per Town regulations.
A Town of Osoyoos zoning bylaw states that docks shall not extend beyond 30 metres from the lake's high water mark.
McKenney also offered to have the society "monitor" the marina project.
People in favour of the marina concept said there is a high need to provide more moorage facilities for the lake as well as a need to improve the boat launch near the marina site and clean up the lagoon.
Some said a marina would provide new jobs and business opportunities in town including opportunities for watercraft sales and storage.
It was also pointed out that if people could dock their boats at a marina, there would be less of a need to store boats on trailers which end up getting parked on the community's streets.
Rob Rausch, owner of Wakepilot Wakeboarding, said the marina concept could allow for the centralization of watercraft-focused businesses.
With a centralized location for operations, he said, those businesses, along with the RCMP, could educate watercraft owners about how to operate their crafts safely and respectfully on the lake while monitoring fuelling and watercraft operations on the water.
Suggestions of having the marina located in front of the Watermark Beach Resort were also brought up.
A development permit issued to the resort in 2006, however, included a condition prohibiting the development of any moorage facilities on its property as the Town's preference is to keep Gyro Beach open to swimming.
Councillors Marg Chadsey, CJ Rhodes and Ted Cronmiller voted in favour of giving the amendment third reading, while Coun. Michael Ryan and Mayor Stu Wells voted against the amendment.
Ryan once again tabled an amendment to have "the sale of petroleum products" removed from the definition of a marina included in the zoning amendment, but his motion was voted down 3-2 with Cronmiller, Rhodes and Chadsey voting against it.
Ryan then tabled a motion that any marina developed in the Lions Park lagoon area would be subject to a development permit process and if the project is phased, council would have to approve each phase.
This motion passed unanimously.
The zoning amendment allowing for a marina at the lagoon site is likely to come up for adoption at the next council meeting on July 19.

Les: If boats were banned, the economic impact to the town would be devastating. I'm all for a safer, cleaner, more controlled use of motorized craft on the lake, but this is a huge economic driver for the tourist industry.
I'd be happy to see the ban of Seadoos and Tubing as an activity as these two generate much of the danger and injuries on the lake but the use of all motorized craft would be short sighted.
Whats really needed is enforcement of the safe boating standards by RCMP rather than just setting up water based roadblocks looking for drinking and boating (although this needs to continue as well).
There is a happy medium where boaters and non-boaters can enjoy the lake together but all or nothing isn't the solution.
Alain Cunningham ( Director of Planning and Development for the City of Osoyoos ) has stated that there will be NO expropriation of private land to allow for the widening of Spartan Drive .
If this is the case , how can they have a new sidewalk and two lanes of traffic on Spartan Drive by the lagoon / marina as they do in this plan .
First reading, second reading, third reading and they still don't see it. Our Council Chamber is a Chamber of Darkness.
Osoyoos lake, difficult to pronounce, incorrectly spelled is a problem which can easily be solved by renaming it. I suggest
CULTUS LAKE # 2, because that is where it is going.
Better yet ban the drug dealers, strippers and coke heads from whitesands and let the families have it back…but I guess getting rid of the drug money in Osoyoos would be detrimental to the local economy as well.
It's done, now let's get on with it. However, based on the public open house meetings, comments contained on the papers website, recent fuel spills and comments from others I think the town should hold off on allowing fuel and rental seadoos at the new marina. The amendment will allow for these activities but the town does not need to approve them until such time that it can be seen as a prudent business move, for both the community and tourist needs since both services already exist on the lake.
hay wait a minute. where's everybody goint to leave there boats, so they can drink in the bar. we will all go broke.OMG. hahaha.

Great Tour with Gold Rush Tours
Trip Start Mar 14, 2006
241Trip End Mar 15, 2007
History of Kalgoorlie Boulder per a travel brochure
[The joint cities of Kalgoorlie-Boulder are one of the most important mining areas in Australia. It is situated 59 kms east of Perth. It played a major part in the development of Western Australia. Before the turn of the century, the State struggled for economic survival and it was the discovery of gold that secured its future. Kalgoorlie-Boulder saw an influx on labour and capital investments which was a timely boost since the pastoral industry was struggling to survive
Kalgoorlie Boulder was not the first town to develop and prosper from gold discoveries. Southern Cross in 1888 and Coolgardie in 1892 had seen fortune seekers flock to the area and stake their claims. Paddy Hannan and his fellow Irish prospectors Thomas Flannigan and Dan Shea were part of the Coolgardie gold rush. It was 1893 and after fossicking around Bayley's Reward for eight months, they left Coolgardie and headed east. Due to a lame horse, they decided to camp near what is now Kalgoorlie-Boulder's Mount Charlotte. Maybe it was the luck of the Irish that led them to the discovery of nearly a hundred ounces of gold. Within a few days 700 men were on the new find panning from dawn to dusk. Consequently one of the richest square miles on earth was named the Golden Mile, stories of fame and fortune rapidly spread and Kalgoorlie's history began.
Means of travel for most of the hopeful prospectors was on foot generally pushing a wheelbarrow heaped with food and mining tools. For the winners here was wealth and luxury but death and devastation also haunted those lured by the riches that lay on and beneath the soil. The major problem was lack of water. Drinking from shallow, muddy water holes resulted in sickness and death for many of the prospectors
In 1931 the State's largest nugget of gold was found by J & J Larcome in Larkinville near Coolgardie. Aptly named "The Golden Eagle" it weighed an incredible 32,177g or 1,135 ounces. Gold production rose and fell over the years but the boom never ended. Later, in the 1960's a world shortage of nickel encouraged further exploration in the Goldfields. Fortunately huge reserves were found in the region and in spite of frenzied share speculation the nickel boom became an alternate income at a time when gold was in a recession.
Gold mining today is a far cry from when Paddy Hannan first staked his "Reward" claim last century. There is little reliance on luck nowadays. Changes since the mid seventies have meant that lower grade and larger tonnage deposits can now be mined economically. The market price of gold determines which methods and what ore should be mines and processed.
In 1989 a new management structure was established to take Kalgoorlie-Boulder gold production into the 21st century
The boom and bust atmosphere of the goldfields remains unchanged. There is a feeling of independence amid isolation, of resourcefulness, determination and humour and at the ever-growing city still revolves around the all important gold and the money which comes with it. The main street, Hannan Street, is lined with old buildings and shaded verandahs and is still wide enough to accommodate turning camel trains and even caravans.]
The tour I went on was a great introduction to the city of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, exploring the magnificent architecture of the 1890's along the cities' main streets, and learning of the region's fascinating history. Highlights included a visit to the Super Pit, a drive along the infamous Hay Street red light district and Hammond Park (where there were peacocks in display and a miniature Bavarian Castle built by George Kaspar in 1976 from an estimated 40,000 individual Goldfields gemstones). We also stopped off at the "Little Boulder Sweet Shop" where they advertise "'Sweet' memories of days gone by - Not only a sweet shop ..
On completion of the morning tour we were transferred to Kalgoorlie's newest attraction, the Australian Prospectors and Miners Hall of Fame. The exhibition halls were dedicated to mining past, present and future. This also included the Hannans North Tourist Mine and an opportunity to go on an underground tour, see a gold pour demonstration. I was most impressed with the Museum and glad to have taken the tour.
The city itself appeared to be a rather rough and ready sort of place. As the driver said, if you don't like drinking, playing sports and mining, you probably won't like living in Kalgoorlie. I wanted to go back to the same restaurant for dinner tonight but it was closed as were most other restaurants. I wound up at a rather rough place on the main street where not only did I have to wait for about an hour and a half for a burger but they'd run out of hamburger buns and were using 6" rolls. There was also a fellow acting up there who, after he tossed something heavy and metallic over our way (our being a mom, her young daughter and a friend). He was asked to leave the place and came over and pleaded with me that boys were only boys while they were young. I did not feel comfortable walking home and took a cab.
Erica apparently can not get on the train tonight so will make her way back to Perth with me where she will catch a plane to Adelaide.

mini split Wiring question???
i bought a mini split system and the wiring between the indoor and the outdoor units confuses me. I was going to have a 30A disconnect between the service panel and the outdoor unit. According to the wiring diagram, i need another 20A disconnect between the Indoor and the Outdoor units along a 5A breaker / or a fuse between leads S1 & S2. can someone explain this to mehttp://hvac-talk.com/vbb/images/smilies/confused.gif. Thanks!!!
Attached Thumbnails http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/attachment....1&d=1249240458
I believe some jurisdictions require a disconnect for this line because it feeds line voltage back into the house for the fan motor. Ask your inspector if you need the disconnect. Are you in the UK?
No! I am in Texas.
What is the model number?
it is a 2.5 ton cooling Fujitsu unit. ASU30/36CLX. i know how to read the diagram, but doesn't know what it translate to hardware wise or is it necessary. i know it is essential for a regular central system. on this, all the literature connects straight from outdoor to indoor with fuse or a disconnect
Again, this can only be answered by your inspector. I just had a quad zone Mitsu system installed ,and the company did not use disconnects between the outdoor and indoor units. I just ran a 30A fused disconnect(w/ 20A time delay fuses) for the outdoor unit and that's all.

Ripoff Report
ResMac6501 Congress Ave 2nd Floor Boca Raton, Florida USA
ResMac, ResMac Inc, Boca Raton Branches Beware!! ***STOP*** ***CAUTION*** Read this first! Boca Raton Florida
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
What you can expect if you decide to become a Branch or do business with ResMac:
Underwriting: Underwriting is inconsistent. Only 30% of all of our branch submissions were underwritten correctly by a competent underwriter. The other 70% had questionable underwriting. i.e. not running DU correctly, not calculating income correctly, not knowing LP is also an option, over conditioning wasted weeks to finally get it waived, last minute conditions were constantly being added after being cleared for docs.
Appraisals: ResMac appraisers always act like they are certified home inspectors and notate unnecessary repair comments, causing unnecessary 442 or additional conditions. In a business where lenders are supposed to use an unbiased appraisal management company, all their appraisers sure seem to have a lot in common in how they appraise. Appraisal fees are too high; $450 across the board when it should be only $350 for non-FHA loans.
Service: Service is bad. Good luck getting any help or answers from anyone. The Underwriting manager will not admit fault in her department. Harvey Kopelowits, President/Company Attorney, will just pass you back to the person you are complaining about. Nelson Haws, Owner, knows all the short comings but will just replace you with a new unsuspecting Branch to maintain a steady net profit. Mark Havlik in licensing will take forever to get anything done related to licensing. Jeanne Delormier, Chief Compliance Officer, will deny all great marketing ideas with no feedback on what they will approve.
Lack of loan program options: ResMac brokers out all loans outside of conventional and FHA. Anything non-vanilla will be brokered out resulting in horrible pricing and turn times.
MARTI SYSTEM: If you lock a loan through MARTI that is brokered out, they will not honor the pricing. MARTI is not sophisticated enough to give accurate pricing on these type of transactions yet they allow you to lock, submit, and make you wait weeks and months going back and forth with their investor. After a month of waiting, I discovered they locked one of my loans with the wrong investor voiding my original approval and rate lock.
Commissions: Keep detailed records of all your earned commissions. ResMac will not pay you unless you fight for your check, especially when you decide to quit. Their act of professionalism goes away real quick.

Tokay gecko populations decline due to overhunting, say activists
Activists warned yesterday that wild populations of Southeast Asia's striking tokay gecko were in danger of being overhunted for use in traditional medicine in China and other countries.
Calling the industry "colossal", wildlife trade monitoring network TRAFFIC said that despite high reproductive rates and adaptability, tokay gecko populations "are still susceptible to over-harvesting". Population declines had been reported in places like Thailand and Indonesia, it said.
The tokay gecko can grow up to 40cm long, weigh more than 300 grams and is distinguished by a brilliant coating of spots that range from bright yellow to red and its loud croaking call.
It ranges throughout Southeast Asia and is not a protected species in most countries.
It is used in traditional medicines in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Vietnam to treat asthma, diabetes and other ailments, TRAFFIC said, adding that an individual specimen can command hundreds of dollars.
Data showed Taiwan imported 15 million of the geckos since 2004, it said. Trade accelerated in recent years amid rumours the geckos could help cure Aids, which the World Health Organisation has refuted.

IBM Thinkpad R31 freezing up
I have a Thinkpad R31 that has recently started freezing up. It will boot up and work fine for approximately 10-20 minutes and freeze everytime. The only thing I have noticed is that the battery has completely died around the same time, but the computer should still work if plugged in.
It did the same thing a couple of years ago when I replaced the hard drive, can I have the same problem or is there something else I can look at?
if plugged in, the batt. should not die as it should be on ac power only. and did the "same thing" occur before or after the new hdd went in? flip it over and make sure the fan(s) are not blocked with dust buildup as overheating will do the same thing. knowing OS helps us too.
but what do i know? i'm just a mouse....
When my hard drive failed the last time it showed the same problems, freezing up with the need to hold down the power button to get it to reboot, however, it did not freeze up as consistently as it does now. I am running Windows XP with service pack 2. The fan appears to be clean and it still cuts in. I tried running the computer with the battery out and it boots up fine for the same 10 minute or so timespan and then freezes.
xp home or pro? i'd check for spyware/virus as these can cause any number of odd symptoms including what you describe. then run scandisk/defrag to check integrity of the drive would be my next step. scandisk thorough will tell you if you have bad sectors and hopefully will 'hide' them so the drive will last a bit longer. 2 yrs isn't that old except in dog years, but what do i know? i'm just a mouse....
That's what I was figuring about the hard drive, the first one lasted 4 years. It's XP home and I would love to be able to run the scans and things, I have tried, but the computer always freezes up before they have time to complete.
go to CMOS (setup) and run the test there, but it's probably time for a new hdd......but what do i know? i'm just a mouse.....
If you haven't solved your problem yet, you might be overheating. I have a T60P and the fan was weak and wouldn't always work. I overheated and would freeze after some 10-15 minutes of use. I put a house fan pointed at my computer and sure enough it took much longer to overheat. I called support and they replaced the fan and voila. You can get a program called TPfancontrol and it will tell you the temperatures of your chips.
HAHAHAHA...I like cast steel valves as much as the next guy chongzi35, but I think your in the wrong area. Unless your talking about using them for a oil immersed PC or something.
If you do have to change out your hard drive you could try using Knoppix to recover the data. You might also try to look into the BIOS logs to see if there were any errors.

Honestly, this sounds like you are making excuses. Your only other post than this one is asking whether you can make it as a "modeler/animator" which indicates that you have a certain amount of grasping at straws going on here.

This is, to put it kindly, a terrible idea.

Then you are in an ideal situation to learn. Every person I know who wanted to switch career tracks who was in a similar position went home from their day job and worked 6 or 8 hours every night at the job they wanted to do. That's what it takes.

In all honestly, it's likely you will not be as good. But you can be close, if you are dedicated enough. Even with all the people telling you that age doesn't matter, the truth is that he probably already has 20 or more years experience over you. That's a lot of catching up to do.

3 years is an arbitrary number. All serious artists are learning and improving all the time. There may be some point at which you could call yourself "employable," but there's no finish line here. Can it be done? Yes. Will it be the hardest thing you've ever done and test every ounce of commitment you can throw at something? Yes.
