With More Strikes Planned, Greece Is Not A Happy Place
When the going gets tough the Greeks go on strike. Some of that may be just Mediterranean exuberance and a culture of democratic expression going back in history.
Here's what's happening this week:
Monday, March 8
Greek tax officials stage 48 hour strike
Garbage workers stage 4 day strike
Greek court officials stage 2-hour work stoppages (all week)
Greek Communist union PAME rally in central Athens
Wednesday, March 10
Local government workers stage 4-hour work stoppage
Thursday, March 11
Greek umbrella unions GSEE, ADEDY 24-hour strike. Protest in central Athens (0900 GMT)
Stikes are also being considered by teachers, gas station owners, lawyers. Although most Greeks probably do recognize the need for austerity measures, it doesn't mean they like them. And in a culture of protest that can sometimes turn violent, Greece is not a happy place these days.

Reviews for this host's other properties
our impression is mixed 1 / we are not in the apartment we had booked because no hot water! 2 / we asked to change accommodation drnier because it was not equipped with component and were struggling to dormir.Heureusement we leave as a water leak occurred when we left!! = Waste of time to move and carry the bags 3 / Ilya, very nice and offered us another apartment supposedly equipped with shutters ... but still the same! we had to hang every night the bed covers up the window for the darkness (with stool of the apartment). positive: quiet and well placed negatives: no lighting ds bathroom - no current in Electrical sockets. - No blackout curtains - the refrigerator broke down ... In summary: We booked one apartment, we moved to another and we move to have the same problem in a third! thank you Windu
notre impression est mitigée
1/ nous ne sommes pas dans l'appartement que nous avions réservé car pas d'eau chaude !
2/ nous avons demandé de changer de logement car ce drnier n'était pas équipé de volet et avions du mal pour dormir.Heureusement que nous partons car une fuite d'eau s'est produite à notre départ !!!! = perte de temps pour déménager et porter les valises
3/ Ilya , très sympa,nous a proposé un autre appart soit disant équipé de volets ...mais toujours pareil ! nous étions obligés d'accrocher ts les soirs le couvre lit en haut de la fenêtre pour avoir de l'obscurité (avec escabeau de l'appart).
point positif : calme et bien placé
points négatifs : pas éclairage ds salle de bain - pas de courant dans prises élect. - pas de rideaux occultants - le réfrigérateur est tombé en panne ...
en résumé : nous avons réservé 1 appart, nous nous sommes installés dans un autre et nous avons déménager pour avoir le même problème dans un troisieme !
merci Windu
Everything perfect, well-kept apartment in the center, the host, who waited for us despite the late hours of the night. Thank you and best regards :)

I was involved in an emotionally and financially draining civil lawsuit with my commercial landlord. The lawsuit dragged on for nearly two years. My landlord was himself an attorney and knew how to exploit the legal system to his advantage. Despite that I am a physician and a business owner, I felt I was being bullied by the landlord.
Bill Dyer came to my rescue. He was not my original attorney at the beginning of the litigation. But I am so glad that he joined forces with my original attorney to quickly settle the case on favorable terms.
Mr. Dyer has a big firm background, but he did not come off like any big firm attorney that I have ever met. He showed great passion in fighting for justice and standing up for "the little people." Mr. Dyer quickly analyzed and mastered all the legal issues in my case and basically took control of the court-ordered mediation. He persuaded the mediator and even my landlord that I would win if the case went to trial. It especially helped that my landlord was familiar with Mr. Dyer's reputation as a trial lawyer and he clearly did not wish to tangle with Mr. Dyer in court.
Mr. Dyer and my original attorney worked together to save my business and put my legal nightmare to rest.
I wholehartedly recommend having Mr. Dyer on your side. There is no greater comfort than knowing that you have a brilliant and passionate advocate when you go to court. Thank you, Bill, for helping me through a difficult time in my life.

Helped me in a really odd case -- one that is so unusual that if I provide details it would be recognizable. He nailed the strategy of the plaintiff's lawyers early on, and also got my homeowner's insurance company to step up to their responsibilities in representing me.
He demonstrated both flexibility and imagination. It was a minor case for him -- but an important one for me. He treated me as if I were his biggest client rather than his smallest. I can only assume he treats every client as well. I would use him again if I ever got sued again.
Posted by anonymous
Bill Dyer is one of the best lawyers in Texas. When he seizes a project you can expect work that is of the highest quality. I am a lawyer and have employed lawyers both when I owned my own lawfirm and now as general counsel of a multi-national corporation and I have not met anyone who can research, write or try a case better than Bill. His work is simply of the highest quality available.

Mom called them when I was having horrible coughing all night from my collapsing trachea. They gave her the simplest remedy over the phone- just give me a little bit of Robitussin! Let me tell you I choked like a champ and spilled that stuff all over- but it worked! Oh, I love making a mess!


text: So it looks like my hard drive died in my Premiere. It's only been a little over 2 years, too. Before sinking money into a new TiVo, should I call customer service and see if they'll help me out on replacing it? I mean, having been a loyal TiVo customer for 6 years has to amount to something, right?

Hi All
I'm doing my first HM in October and have been training on treadmill and outdoors. Is it advisable to start making more of the training outdoors based in the 6 week lead up to the race? Starting to get a little worried about it all now. I'm following a plan and set to run a 7 mile run this weekend and not sure if I should go outdoors, or try inside on the treadmill so I can monitor speed and distance.
Is there any advantage to doing any of your training on the treadmill - why not get as much outdoors in as possible? If you're in an OCD mood about measuring time and distance, use a map (MapMyRun or Google Maps) and a stopwatch to keep track of things. And it's worth remembering that average speed on the treadmill doesn't correspond to minutes/mile on the road!
Can't remember which one it was, maybe Jack Daniels, but one of the top coaches said to do no more than 30% of miles on a treadmill because it doesn't give you the varied terrain training needed to run outdoors.
So it's ok to do a few workouts indoors, but I'd get your longer runs moved outside as soon as possible.
Ditch the dreadmill as often as possible. There is absolutely no substitute for training on the surface you will race on.
If you are on the tready, set it to 1 % incline, and/ or vary it a bit, - I started that way, and it's OK if there's a good reason not to run outdoors ( lone female in dodgy part of town/ ice on roads, etc) , but you will need to do some outdoors runnig to get used to the unevenness/ kerbs/ pacing yourself/ how to cope with weather. Oh, and it's more interesting running outdoors.
Get out as much as you can but don't imagine that the tready stuff is a wate of time0 it isn't , but it is definitely second best, except maybe for speed work if you don't have access to a suitable bit of track/ path, and you don't have a stop watch- better to measure out an appropiate bit and time yourself.
I think you're asking the question because you already know the answer...! I'm not going to slam the treadmill as I think it can have its place (I've been using it in the London heatwave the last few days, and also set very extended hill intervals from time to time that I couldn't emulate outside without a lot of travel).
But, as others have said, it's best to run outside on the surface that you'll be running your event on, as much as you can. Your feet land repetitively in the same way on a treadmill whereas outside, you're constantly having to adjust to tiny variations in the surface - that needs training in itself, and then there's wind resistance, the elements, you name it.
Also, I don't know how you fare dealing with boredome when running a long distance on a treadmill, but the repetiveness does get to you after a while - no such problem outside as you can switch your focus at will from outside to what's going on inside and back again.
Maybe compromise if you really like the TM and keep one quality session a week or fortnight?
Best of luck with your HM!
Get outdoors and in the fresh air! Treadmills are a great tool for increasing and maintaining a consistent pace. However, your legs will need to become conditioned to running on the roads as the surface is harder. Prepare yourself for the conditions you will be running in and you'll feel more confident on race day.
Get outside !!!!!! treadmlls are a last resort

Repairing Split in Wood Door?
Hi Guys,
What is the best way to repair a split in a wood door? Our front door has a split from the bottom of the door all the way up to the bottom of the window(about 12 inches from the bottom). The split goes completely through the door where you can see light coming through the door.
I thought about just putting very strong wood glue in the split and clamping it down but I worry that would eventually resplit. Is there a better way to do this?
That sounds like the way to go, glue and clamp.
Check to see that both the top and bottom of the door has been sealed against moisture. I would repaint the whole door again to insure it is sealed.
Gluing and clamping would be the best alternative if it will hold. You might try these epoxy wood restoration products. They are a bit pricey but I like working with them. This assumes the door is to be painted.
I've had success using a shop vacuum to suck the glue all the way through the split. Lay your bead of glue on one side of the door and use the vacuum to suck it out on the other side. Then clamp and hope for the best.
Best of luck with the project, rredogg
Depends on how far the split is from either door edge. IMO--putting glue into the crack/split and clamping it until it dries is just buying time until it splits again. Your first problem is to determine why the door split: either the wood has dried out or has been wetter than it should have been over some period of time. I like to use screws to pull these doors back together, along with a good exterior wood glue in the split. The chances of a door splitting after installation of screws is nill. IF the split is near the middle of the door there is a way to use an extended drill bit to get into the door that far, from one edge, to put wood screws in. Good Luck, David

The Moravians in Georgia HTML version
Chapter 3. The First Year in Georgia
The Voyage.
In the year 1735 a voyage across the Atlantic was a very different thing from what it is in
this year of grace 1904. To-day a mighty steamship equipped with powerful engines,
plows its way across the billows with little regard for wind and weather, bearing
thousands of passengers, many of whom are given all the luxury that space permits, a
table that equals any provided by the best hotels ashore, and attendance that is
unsurpassed. Then weeks were consumed in the mere effort to get away from the British
Isles, the breeze sometimes permitting the small sailing vessels to slip from one port to
another, and then holding them prisoner for days before another mile could be gained.
Even the most aristocratic voyager was forced to be content with accommodations and
fare little better than that supplied to a modern steerage passenger, and those who could
afford it took with them a private stock of provisions to supplement the ship's table.
And yet the spell of adventure or philanthropy, gain or religion, was strong upon the
souls of men, and thousands sought the New World, where their imagination saw the
realization of all their dreams. Bravely they crossed the fathomless deep which heaved
beneath them, cutting them off so absolutely from the loved ones left at home, from the
wise counsels of those on whom they were accustomed to depend, and from the strong
arm of the Government under whose promised protection they sailed, to work out their
own salvation in a country where each man claimed to be a law unto himself, and where
years were to pass before Experience had once more taught the lesson that real freedom
was to be gained only through a general recognition of the rights of others.
On the 3rd of February, 1735, the Moravians arose early in their London lodging house,
prayed heartily together, and then prepared to go aboard their vessel, "The Two
Brothers", Capt. Thomson, where the Trustees wished to see all who intended to sail on
her. A parting visit was paid to Gen. Oglethorpe, who presented them with a hamper of
wine, and gave them his best wishes. After the review on the boat Spangenberg and
Nitschmann returned with Mr. Vernon to London to attend to some last matters, while the
ship proceeded to Gravesend for her supply of water, where Spangenberg rejoined her a
few days later. On the 25th of February they passed the Azores, and disembarked at
Savannah, April 8th, having been nine and a half weeks on shipboard.
The story of those nine weeks is simply, but graphically, told in the diary sent back to
Herrnhut. Scarcely had they lifted anchor when the Moravians began to arrange their
days, that they might not be idly wasted. In Herrnhut it was customary to divide the
twenty-four hours among several members of the Church, so that night and day a
continuous stream of prayer and praise arose to the throne of God, and the same plan was
now adopted, with the understanding that when sea-sickness overtook the company, and
they were weak and ill, no time limit should be fixed for the devotions of any, but one
man should pass the duty to another as circumstances required!

Ancilla College is continuing in its efforts to offer the best educational experience available, and in that quest, the college offers a program to help nursing students achieve the next level of certification, taking them from the role of licensed practical nurse to registered nurse. Ann Fitzgerald, director of the division of nursing and health sciences at the college, said the bridge program is intense, but it only takes one year.
"It's a bridge between the two, and it takes – we have it planned out so you can be a registered nurse in exactly one year. So we go May to May, basically, is what the plan is, and we have spaces open and we are ready to bring in some more LPNs and give them the opportunity to become registered nurses, which opens up a whole new world for them," said Fitzgerald.
The bridge program crams two years' worth of nursing courses into a single year. The program is difficult, but Fitzgerald said Ancilla College has the only nursing program in the area that offers a nursing tutor to help students at no cost.
Fitzgerald said the summer portion of the course is part-time with four credit hours, offering a brief respite before the full-time schooling begins in the fall. She said it isn't an easy program, but then, very few things in the medical field are easy.
"I do not lie to students; it is not an easy program. If you find an easy nursing program, let me know. You want to keep in mind that the responsibility involved in being a registered nurse, you have to be very careful, you have to be very knowledgeable, and that is our job to get you from point A to point B, and we do that very well. We would encourage any LPNs who are interested, even if you're just thinking about it, give us a call, let us know how we can help you," Fitzgerald said.
Ancilla College is boasting a 100 percent pass rate for this year so far, and Fitzgerald said they hope to continue that.
"We are very proud of that and we are proud of our students who have gone in there and just knocked that test out and are out there working as registered nurses in the community. That is the goal, and that is what we're striving for, and our students have been very helpful with that – obviously we can't do it for them; they have to do it for themselves," Fitzgerald said.

Each summary provides an overview of the Principal Office's functions and certain programs and activities. It also provides the name of the building that each Principal Office currently occupies in Washington, D.C. so that it can be cross-referenced with the Department's complete physical accessibility study bound separately as Volume III of this report (NOTE: Not available in electronic format), with the Executive Summary found in Chapter 4.
The Evaluation section of the Principal Office summary is a narrative description of the responses provided on the protocol regarding the status of the accessibility of the programs, policies, and practices of the Principal Office. It also includes a list of the auxiliary aids and services that currently exist in that Office. The protocol distributed asked each Principal Office to identify from a given list the aids and services that exist in that Office. That list is reproduced below and includes certain aids or services that were not included in the protocol but were identified as available by at least one Principal Office. Currently, five auxiliary aids or services are available from each Principal Office, even though the Principal Office itself may not have recognized this fact. They include access to the Department's sign language interpreter contract, the Federal Information Relay System for telecommunications and paper and pen for the hearing impaired, and computer diskette and large print for the visually impaired.
The list at the end of each Principal Office summary identifies the auxiliary aids and services existing in the Principal Office, and indicates whether they are available from within the Principal Office itself, through the Department, or through an external source with which the Principal Office contracts directly. The five auxiliary aids or services common to each Principal Office are listed at the end under the subheading "General Services Available." However, not every Principal Office recognized that these were available as aids or services. The inclusion of any of these five aids indicates that the Principal Office recognized that it possessed the capability to provide this aid or service.

The Origins Of Modern Constitutionalism
Double Majesty and Judicial Review
Wormuth, Francis D.
As we have seen, the doctrine of double majesty entered English law as early as the thirteenth century in Bracton's formulation, "The king should be under no man, but under God and the law, for the law makes him king." Bracton, like Glanvill before him, identified English law with custom. In the fifteenth century it became usual to speak of English law as bearing some relation to the law of nature and reason, a characterization borrowed from Roman law. By such means common law was given an objective validity, so that it was able to stand its ground as a rival and limit to the power of the king. Sir Edward Coke in the early seventeenth century boldly declared the independence of the common law in his famous opinions in the Case of Prohibitions
and that of Proclamations.
In an age when government was very largely identified with the person of the king, it was easy to translate this opposition into one between all governmental power on the one hand and common law on the other. Coke made this extension in the much discussed dictum in Bonham's Case that "when an act of Parliament is against common right and reason, or repugnant, or impossible to be performed, the common law will control it, and adjudge such act to be void."
He cited four precedents, of which Professor Plucknett has found one to be valid.
This idea of the superiority of common law found frequent expression in the next hundred and fifty years. Chief Justice Hobart approved Coke's dictum in Day v. Savadge
in 1614, as did Chief Justice Holt in City of London v. Wood in 1701.
A few Civil War pamphleteers denied the omnipotence of sovereign power.
John Fortescue-Aland published an edition of his distinguished ancestor's Absolute and Limited Monarchy in 1714. In the preface he felt obliged to warn, "where my Lord Coke says that an act of Parliament made against Magna Carta is void, he is not to be understood of every part of it, but it is meant only of the moral part of it, which is as immutable as Nature itself; for no act of Parliament can alter the nature of things, and make virtue vice, or vice virtue." William Rawlin, the Attorney-General of Barbados, in 1715 delivered an opinion on an act passed by the local legislature; citing Coke, he declared that the act was "contrary to common right and reason," and therefore void.
It is worth noting, however, that Sir Edward Northey, Attorney-General of Great Britain, had "no objection, in point of law, against the said additional act."
Occasional pamphlets and speeches through the eighteenth century approved the principle of Coke's dictum.
, the first edition of which appeared 1742-1753, quoted Bonham's Case,
and it was from this source that James Otis derived his famous argument against the writs of assistance.
But the only serious attempt by an English author to apply the doctrine to a concrete case appears to be Granville Sharp's
Address to the People of England
, a very curious pamphlet of 76 pages published in 1778 against the proposal to suspend the writ of habeas corpus. "Such a suspension, I say, of common justice and common right is so fundamentally subversive of the British constitution of state, that no authority of parliament can make it legal; because it is high treason against the king and people!" The bill violates the law of God, nature, and reason, and English law as well. The judges are bound by their oaths; "they must not obey even an act of parliament which sets aside this matter of 'common right,' I mean the common right of personal liberty to all ranks of men that are innocent for crimes and free from debt." The pamphlet concludes with an argument that the impressing of seamen is likewise unlawful, as contrary to "the laws of British freemen" and Magna Carta; even an act of Parliament cannot validate the practice.
Unlike other arguments for the superiority of common law, this is not a casual dictum but a plea to the judges to supervise Parliament in a concrete case. Blackstone had already rejected this proposal as not feasible.
Lastly, acts of parliament that are impossible to be performed are of no validity: and if there arise out of them collaterally any absurd consequences, manifestly contradictory to common reason, they are, with regard to those collateral consequences, void. I lay down the rule with these restrictions; though I know it is generally laid down more largely, that acts of parliament contrary to reason are void. But if the parliament will positively enact a thing to be done which is unreasonable, I know of no power in the ordinary forms of the constitution that is vested with authority to control it: and the examples usually alleged in support of this sense of the rule do none of them prove, that, where the main object of a statute is unreasonable, the judges are at liberty to reject it; for that were to set the judicial power above that of the legislature, which would be subversive of all government.
In his Address, as on many other occasions, Granville Sharp was arguing for an unpopular cause. It would be tedious and unnecessary to offer quotations to show that Englishmen in the eighteenth century trusted to the admirable device of the Gothic constitution to protect their liberties, without a thought for judicial review. But what Sharp demanded has occurred in the United States, where the courts have repeatedly invalidated statutes which altered the rules of common law. For the most part this has been done through the due process clauses of national or state constitutions. So it has been held that the legislature cannot alter the common law rule of liability of employers for injuries suffered by employees,
or abolish the common law defense of insanity,
or dispense with the need of an overt act to constitute a crime.
The very strong bias of common law judges for rules of common law is evident in a thousand cases. The common law has set a boundary to political power. In 1815 Justice Story, in annulling an act of the Virginia legislature for the reason, substantially, that it departed from the common law, said: "The state itself succeeded only to the rights of the crown; and, we may add, with many a flower of prerogative struck from its hands."
Here is the medieval doctrine of double majesty.
The courts have not confined themselves to the protection of formal rules of common law. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, institutions which had grown up in the shelter of the common law acquired the same sanctity. The courts stubbornly insisted upon the nineteenth century practices of the market and on certain kinds of freedom of contract. This was a sort of modern extension of double majesty. Since 1937, however, the opposition of the courts to social legislation and to control of economic activities by the state seems to have ended. With it the controversy over judicial review has probably also come to an end.

Brown defeats Faber again
Results by Brady Crytzer
In front of a nearly sold out Arco Arena in Sacramento, WEC featherweight champion Mike Brown successfully defended his title in a highly anticipated rematch with "The California Kid" Urijah Faber via unanimous decision. Though the fight was highly competitive, Brown controlled all five rounds with explosive takedowns and heavy punches. Following the second round, Faber complained of a broken right hand and his punch output decreased substantially. Faber was reduced to throwing elbows exclusively and Brown easily outpointed him. Judges' scorecards read 49-46 twice and 48-47.
In one of the most incredible performances of the year, featherweight hopeful Jose Aldo knocked out Cub Swanson in stunning fashion with simultaneous jumping knees just 8 seconds into the first round.
Donald "The Cowboy" Cerrone made quick work of a debuting James Krause by submitting him in the first round with a rear naked choke. The official time of the stoppage was 4:38.
MMA legend Jens Pulver may have had his last hurrah as he was quickly submitted by the 20 year old John Grispi in the first round. The guillotine choke forced the tap at :33.
Bantamweight Rafael Rebello used slick jiu jitsu to hand Kyle Dietz his first professional loss via rear naked choke at 2:55 of the first round. Lightweight Anthony Pettis displayed nearly his entire jiu jitsu arsenal en route to submitting Mike Campbell in just 1:49. Antonio Banuelos scored a three round split decision over Scott Jorgenson in a spirited 135 lb. battle. Frank Gomez finished Noah Thomas late in the second period with a tight arm triangle at 3:12. Bantamweight Seth Dikun submitted Rolando Perez with a tight triangle choke at 2:30 of the first round.

It is up to the person or people who asked you for an intervention effect to say exactly what they mean. There are a number of ways of thinking about intervention effects.
As you can see, there is no single statistic that defines the effect of an intervention. To begin with, you might ask what the effect of the intervention would be on the population as a whole, or on the individual who receives it. Secondly, you need to define whether you will measure the effect of the intervention assuming that any other differences between treated and control groups are irrelevant, or whether you measure the effect in a contrafactual scenario in which there are no other differences between the groups.
And so on.
Talk to your supervisor for clarification.
Part of the problem may be that you need to be clear as to what each of the measures you calculated tells us about the efficacy of the intervention. But don't calculate until you get a clear answer from these people.

How to tell if you're a dude (in case there's any doubt): You consider bacon appropriate as an appetizer, entree and dessert dish; you bought a DVD burner just so you could save all the episodes of Shockwave on The History Channel; and, finally, going to see "Warbirds on Parade," a display of World War II airplanes and other aircraft, memorabilia, classic cars and additional dude stuff sounds like a good way to celebrate your wedding anniversary. (It is not.) Seriously, dude, load the kids up into the family truckster and head out to the Lancaster Airport, 730 Ferris Road at Belt Line Road, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Saturday. Among the 35 to 40 aircraft on display will be a WWII Corsair--that's the plane Robert Conrad flew on the '70s TV show Baa Baa Black Sheep--and a Russian Hind D, the helicopter seen in Rambo. Fighter planes! Rides in a vintage air transport and trainer (available with a donation)! That, my friends, is a full day of fun, so you better pack a lunch. Perhaps a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. "Warbirds on Parade" is presented by the Commemorative Air Force DFW Wing. Suggested donation for attending the show--the non-flying part--is $10 per carload or $5 per person. Visit dfwwing.com for more info.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Wide Transom
There seems to be a lot of discussion about why newer boats have wider sterns. There are a lot of reasons that modern boats tend to have wider sterns but increased accomodations is not necessarily one of them. More on that later. If we look a little bit of history, after the Fastnet disaster a lot of attention was focused on what makes a good seaworthy boat. Motion at sea became a popular research topic. Hull forms and weight distribution was studied in great detail. One of the trends that came out of all of that study was boats with longer waterlines and finer bows. Moving the waterline forward reduced pitching and making the bow finer reduced the impact with waves in a chop.
As bows became finer the center of bouyancy moved aft as well. At first this produced boats that developed a lot of weather helm as they heeled and which tended to jack their rudders out of the water and wipe out easily. As designers got better at modeling hull forms this became far less of a problem.
This combination of fine bow and powerful stern sections were found to offer exceptional upwind performance and reaching speeds that are substantially higher than theoretical hull speeds. So this fine bow, more powerful stern hull forms were really a win-win design trend that offered greater speed, coupled with better motion comfort and seaworthiness.
In a recent issue of Sailing World there was an interesting couple paragraphs dealing with theoretical hull speed which touched on the issue of theoretical hull speed as it relates to these new hull forms. I am quoting here:
"Waterline''s affect on hull speed is theoretical and not absolute. As a hull goes faster, the bow wave stretches to the point where the bow and stern wave become on wave cycle, whose wavelength is equal to the waterline length. This brings us to wave theory. "
"The speed of a wave (in knots) is equal to the square root of the wavelength (in feet) multiplied by 1.34. If your boat has a waterline length of 32 feet, the theoretical hull speed is 7.6 knots. The waterline length is thought to limit the hull speed because if the boat goes any faster the stern waves has to move further back taking the trough between it and the bow wave along with it. As the trough moves aft, it causes the stern to drop, making the boat sail uphill."
"Except for planning designs, sailboats typically can''t generate enough power to go any faster and climb their own bow wave. But a boat with extra volume in the stern can exceed its theoretical hull speed because the extra bouyancy prevents the stern from dropping into the trough. By the same token, a fine-ended design might not achieve its theoretical hull speed if buoyancy in the stern is insufficient." (Written by Steve Killing and Doug Hunter).
I do think that it is a bit of a stretch to say that these broader sterns resulted from trying to stuff in additional accommodations. I say this because as the stern gets broader, displacement is removed from the bow thereby reducing usable accomodations volume in the bow. If anything the accomodations are just shifted aft a bit. That is not necesarily a bad thing as the stern is generally a quieter area with less motion than the bow.
Wide Transom
If you look at a lot of the around the world racing boats (e.g. Around Alone, etc) they have exactly the same trend ("almost Wedge shaped"). There is a definite sailing performance enhancement to that. Not necessarily a "better" more comfortable ride though...that is where the details are important in the design.
BTW, I agree with you when it comes to the aesthetics of some boats, but you can still get very nice designs that are being built today, but the original designs were probably in the 80''s. My boat for instance (''99 build) has the original underbody and design from the 80''s, but has been enhanced "slightly" over the years to have a slightly wider stern. But not so much so , that it looks like a wedge of pie.
Wide Transom
OK. I know we have had a thread before about the wide sterns on modern boats. I recently looked at pictures of the new C&C99 and noticed it too follows this design trend. Looking further I noticed many other boats of similar aged design and size also have teh wide transom. They are almost Wedge shaped!
Then I looked further to find examples of boats that looked aestheically pleasing to me. The look I was after did not take into account actually living on the boat but was more concerned with curves and lines from the exterior. Most of the boats I liked were built in the late 80''s or were 60 feet or longer.
So here is the question:
Are the wide transoms in todays boats a compromise of performance for comfort or do they actually improve the sailing characteristics of the boats?

I have a 2003 z71 Suburban with the Bose set-up. When the vehicle is turned completely off, the radio gets tremendous reception. As soon as the key is put into the run position (without starting the burban), the reception goes to interference. I can't listen to AM at all with the key just turned to on. I had the radio out and everything looked like it was connected fine. I am at a loss and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

one of our Florida snakes
1 Attachment(s)
In case you think I'm overly squeamish about snakes in my yard, here's a photo some guy took about 100 miles south of me. Yes, I've seen them this long. This snake looks like he's checking traffic so he can cross the road. So far, the recommendation to put moth balls around the area where my snake was hanging out may have worked.
Attachment 77338
I don't mind snakes at all and enjoy watching them or at times pick them up. But if I ran into something like that I would be going the other way fast.LOL
They said on the news that our freezing temps, which we have more often now in the winter, are helping to kill off some of the big snakes, not native to here.
To be that long it must have been an anaconda.
If using moth balls makes you feel better, fine. There only thought to be effective on a very few types of snakes and only if by chance they crawl over them.
Put them in a HD plastic bag and smash them and pore it out as a powder.
A bunch of big round balls does nothing.
Making sure to seal up every way for them to get in, getting rid of bird feeders that hold seed, sealing up and livestock feed will help.
Snakes do not eat feed but they sure eat mice, birds and rats that do.
One of these was crossing the road in front of me once. More recently hiking in Ocala alone I heard dried weeds rustling and across this path was a yellow Burmese python so big I may not have been able to put my 2 hands around it. I ran very fast.
That's exactly why shotguns were invented! If I saw that thing in my yard there would be a stain on the lawn and snake meat in the grill.
oh yum.
I've eaten a lot of things, but not snake meat.
There must be a market for snake skins----boots and purses and hat bands.
black racers get up to 5 feet, that snake is NOT an anaconda( way too skinny)
We are getting a lot of pythons and Boa's that get that big but they are usually bigger around also. A lot of people get them for pets then they get too big or they get tired of them and turn them loose. And yea starting over here in central Fl. The first frost or freeze will kill them. That is why the biggest problem is from the everglades and south around Miami.
I was on the Marjorie Rawlings 'Yearling' trail in Ocala when I saw the big yellow snake.
Did you read how disappointing the snake hunt was last yr down in the Everglades? They didn't get nearly as many as they expected and aren't sure if maybe the estimated numbers are actually lower than experts say.
The big brown one that was crossing the road in front of me, (like the one in this photo) was when I lived down in Vero Beach, Indian River county. I also had a mangy bobcat stroll past my back door one day. I started to go out the door and he was just a few feet away and turned his head and gave me a half hearted snarl and moseyed on his way.
I'm squeamish looking at the picture from all the way over here. I hope this thread doesn't set Two knots back in her recovery process.
After seeing a big barred owl fly low over my yard one night, plus the hawk who sat near my front door munching on something, and the racoons, and the possum, there are many nights, as I'm going to sleep, I hear noises outside but no way am I going to peek outside. I don't want to know what's out there.
Good plan...but its a good job all those predators are hanging around. They will make short work of those old snakes...
As I told Two Knots...out of respect for your sanity I will NOT be posting that you tube video of the giant snake that can open doors..
I SAW THAT VIDEO! Was the snake trained? (can snakes even be trained?)
I wonder how their intelligence ranks compared to other animals?

Though pot is really a great new product to be presented in a few American states, it nonetheless responds to advertising exactly the same as do non-reusable diapers, snacks or perhaps dog food. Smart branding is smart promoting, in spite of virtually any controversy which usually encompasses the item. Actually, from time to time, the better debate, the easier the branding method! It is the general public that must be changed. Presently, thoughts are generally polarized, as undoubtedly they will often be to a specific degree. However, it is probably inevitable that eventually marijuana will surely be observed as alcohol's small sibling.
Nonetheless, for those who are charged with operating a medicinal marijuana dispensary, Medical Marijuana Branding is a problem of the highest importance. CannaBusiness, as it's known as, actually desires people that actually understand the issues required to take care of its CannaBranding, since the problems aren't much different from those shared simply by each and every kind of business, product and service that is seeking to stake out a share involving the net! Look for a marketing and advertising organization that utilizes SEO that will turn web page searchers straight into website visitors who'll therefore end up being turned into item purchasers.
Just like is the case with drones, or even robots or a fresh drug heading to the marketplace, that uniqueness of marijuana marketing will certainly fade in time as men and women recognize the advantages of medical cannabis as well as the reality that for people who demand it, it really is not going anywhere soon. As well as web-based applications, it is vital for dispensaries and also medical marijuana clientele to have to have access to iPhone plus Android apps, if regarding zero other cause than pertaining to the interest associated with benefit. Social media is an additional important consideration, one that just about any cannabis design agency must not merely contemplate, however currently have plans to put into action.
Now there are more than 200 different health conditions which were proven to answer throughout the optimistic style for the use of medical marijuana when approved by the doctor. Every one of these ailments signifies a sensible pool associated with potential clients to which to showcase an individual's items. The usage of weblog posts, functional search engine optimization and search term consumption are usually just a few of the many tools on this disposal of a well-thought out cannabis marketing agency.

VI. Stratification in the United States and Worldwide
The advent of the global economy--with its emphasis on transnational capital, multinational trade, and new technology--is seen as the hallmark of progress in a new world order. Open trade agreements and the entrepreneurial spirit infecting Europe, Asia, and the United States can certainly foster new opportunities that can be beneficial. Many of these opportunities can also be exploitative to a nation, society, group or individual, or the environment. The fast pace of deregulation and change ensures the creation of new classifications of labor, as well as the creation of a new globally elite set of economic and social classes. Where is the accelerated economy taking us, and who will we be five years from now as a result? The Web sites below on stratification were selected to help shed light on the issues, including welfare reform worldwide.
Explorations in Social Inequality
One of the best stops on the award-winning Web site Sociological Tour through Cyberspace. It provides an annotated discussion with links to the major issues in inequality, including theory and measurement of social class/mobility. Stratification and inequality issues are also explored using the themes of race, gender, ethnicity, and education.
Center for Working Class Studies
The CWCS creates social spaces for civic and academic conversations on working-class life and serves as a clearinghouse for information on working-class culture, issues, and pedagogy. The web site includes information about working-class studies as a field of study; information on courses, research, and programs at YSU; a bibliography on working-class studies; plus links to other related web sites.
Institute of Commonwealth Studies
The Institute of Commonwealth Studies is the only postgraduate academic institution in the United Kingdom devoted to the study of the Commonwealth. Its purpose is to promote interdisciplinary and interregional research on the Commonwealth and its member nations in the fields of history, politics, economics and other social sciences, and subjects like development, environment, health, migration, class, race, and literature.
The Official Mahatma Gandhi Web Site
Online biography with links on a key figure in the historic struggle to free India from English colonial rule.
BBC NEWS: Macau Handover
BBC News Online looks at what the handover means for Macau and the region as five centuries of European colonialism in Asia come to an end.
Anti-Imperialism in the United States
A very insightful online look at the anti-imperialist movement in the United States is presented here. Issues addressed include the Spanish-U.S. conquest, the Philippine war, and the recognition of Panama. Links to other sites on the subject are also included.
International Council on Social Welfare
The International Council on Social Welfare (ICSW) is a global nongovernmental organization that represents a wide range of national and international member organizations that seek to advance social welfare, social justice, and social development.
Welfare Reform on the Web
Background on welfare reform in the United Kingdom, along with resources on current issues in the subject, is provided here. Topics at the site include social security, child care, housing, education, and community redevelopment.
Stateline: Welfare Reform
Many objectives of welfare reform are played out on the state and local level. The Stateline.com Web site is devoted to political news on a statewide level. It includes links to political news briefs in each of the 50 states. The welfare reform section at this site provides up-to-date information on the status of hot issues in welfare reform on a statewide level.
Multinational Monitor
An online magazine devoted to taking a critical look at the roles, functions, and impact of multinational corporations in the national and global economy, as well as society at large. The site contains a featured article, as well as a special section called Focus on the Corporation, which highlights the way in which companies exploit labor, hijack the competition, and receive corporate welfare.
Global Trade Watch
Global Trade Watch fights for international trade and investment policies promoting government and corporate accountability, consumer health and safety, and environmental protection through research, lobbying, public education, and the media. It is a division of Public Citizen, a national consumer and environmental organization founded by Ralph Nader in 1971. The site includes resources for activists and volunteers, as well as an online article, Citizen's Guide to the WTO.
Time Magazine: Corporate Welfare
What would you do if you discovered that the United States spends more on corporate welfare than it does on all other welfare programs combined? The Web site to the November '98 cover story provides access to the revealing 18-month investigation by Time Magazine on how government subsidizes industry. The site describes how corporations benefit, providing case studies and examples that even include Time-Warner itself. The site provides a great set of additional net links on the subject as well.

THIS WEEK IN TEC….There has been a lot of gas blending of rich nitrox mixes for our students doing their advanced nitrox course on sidemount. Both Two Fish Instructor Stephanie and our latest divemaster Trine have been able to extend their dive bottom time with the use of extra tanks and mixes of nitrox over 40%. In total, these mighty women have been carrying 3 tanks underwater in order to optimise their dive time especially in the 20 to 40 meter range. Their tec instructors Hiro and Sandy have shown them a new way to plan multi level dives and understand the calculations behind their dive computers.
In addition, Gerard completed his sidemount course with Hiro and found out all the ins and outs of the small modifications that he can make to his own sidemount equipment. He's back to Komodo to put all his new skills to test in the water. Tec instructors Sandy and Hiro enjoyed a great morning of rebreather diving around Siladen on Sunday and came face to face with a school of giant jacks. It's amazing the difference in how close you can get to fish when you don't have bubbles. This upcoming week we have rebreather and sidemount rescue workshops with all our local guides to ensure they can help any diver in need – stay tuned for photos!

When the original EOS 5D was launched it had almost no competition. The only other full-frame DSLR available at the time was its big brother the EOS 1Ds Mk2, which was much larger and heavier, and considerably more expensive (the EOS-1DS was around £5000). The lightweight and (relatively) reasonably priced EOS 5D brought the advantages of full-frame photography within the reach of amateur photographers, and more importantly within the reach of many thousands of existing owners of Canon 35mm film SLRs, who could now afford to use their lenses on a digital camera. It's really not that surprising that it was so successful.
Five years on however the 5D Mk2 isn't going to have it so easy. Most of those 35mm users will have already made the switch to digital, and it also doesn't have market all to itself any more. It has to compete with two very good lightweight full-frame DSLRs, in the highly accomplished shapes of the Nikon D700 and the Sony Alpha A900, both of which are over £300 cheaper than the Canon camera. The 12.1-megapixel D700 might appear to be outclassed by the 21.1-megapixel 5D Mk2, but its advanced 51-point AF system, 5fps shooting speed and impressive high-ISO noise control should not be dismissed lightly. The Sony A900 is an even more formidable opponent. It has a 24.6-megapixel CMOS sensor, built-in sensor-shift image stabilisation and sensor cleaning, 5fps shooting in Raw+JPEG mode, a tough weatherproof body and what is widely acclaimed as the best viewfinder on the market. Against such competition the EOS 5D Mk2 may be in for a rougher time than its illustrious predecessor.
Physically the Mk2 is clearly its father's son. The body is almost exactly the same size and shape as the original 5D, measuring 152 x 113.5 x 75mm, and has exactly the same body-only weight of 810g, although adding the new 1800mAh battery pushes this up to 890g, or just shy of two pounds. This new battery is significantly more powerful than the 1350mAh pack in the 5D, and has greatly improved cold weather performance. One of the Mk2's new features is an option to keep track of the charge and overall condition of several batteries, and the charge level can now be expressed as a percentage, similar to Sony's InfoLithium cells.
The camera's controls are also virtually identical to the previous model, with Canon's familiar two-wheel system. The menu has had a thorough overhaul to improve its appearance, and now includes an on-screen quick menu similar to those used by Sony and Olympus, navigated via the small joystick control to the right of the screen. Although this does provide quick access to all the main shooting functions, the control logic is a bit counter-intuitive at times. While the joystick is used to navigate and select which item to adjust, the actual adjustments are made using the two data wheels (the large wheel on the back of the camera and the smaller finger wheel just behind the shutter button), and it's not always obvious which controls what. In the Sony and Olympus menus, the D-pad can be used to make adjustments as well as selections.
The main menu is rather daunting in its complexity, but among its nine pages and dozens of options it does provide more customisation of every aspect of the camera's operation and performance than anyone could ask for. It's certainly not recommended for beginners, but in the hands of an experienced photographer it
This is undoubtedly my dream camera!
By the way, it says 1920x180 Video recording in your specification table.
I really think Canon missed a trick installing the same old 9 point autofocus system (which I hate!) in the new 5DMK2...that and the 3.9 FPS are my only gripes in an otherwise brilliant camera. Even the price is acceptable.
I have been shooting Pro Canon for 8 years now and have always found the locations of the AF points pretty useless, especially when shooting sports subjects, with the centre focus point being the only point with reliable sensetivity, especially in low light. If only they could have spread them out further (rules of thirds anyone?) so that focusing and recomposing wasn't always necessary.
I already have a 1D MK3 and 2 x 40D's (the best value all round performing DSLR IMO) and a 5D, and am inches away from pulling the trigger on this one, again....I did have 2 pre-orders on this body 4 months back - and none of them came up with the stock when I had the cash. Stock levels still seem to be very low in the UK and they are very hard to come by sans kit lenses.
We'll see how long I can resist!
I have had the 5DmkII for just over a month now and i must say it is a superb bit of kit.
I would buy this camera just for its high ISO noise capabilities, even if the rest of the package was not as good as it is( yes i know the d700 is /slightely/ better at high ISO, but the canon range of pro lenses is more diverse if you don't want to shoot primarily wide angle).
I agree with you lifethroughalens, that the 9 point autofocus is a slight disappointment, but it really isn't the end of the world. The 6 additional (invisible) assist points really do help the AF when tracking moving subjects allot and it will do fine with action/sports as long as this is not your primary concern. Focusing is accurate & fast in all but but very low light.If you want to shoot sports, the 1DIII is still the way to go. Moving the points further out would be ALLOT better i agree.
I have a few examples of moving subjects here
This dog is running extremely fast and i had no problems tracking him.
I also have a few, non-center, panning shots that i have not yet uploaded which focused equally accurately.
I would not buy the 5DmkII as a sports body, your 1DMKII is already the best you can get for this, but i would buy it in a heartbeat to replace your existing 5D or 40D bodies.It really is allot better at high ISO and considering that the 5D Classic was great, this is a very bold statement!
If you like strobist work, having the ability to comfortably use these high ISO's without the fear of shed loads of PP to remove noise, you can use much lower speedlight power levels so you can keep up very high refresh rates.
Personally i cant wait for the 1DIV - if it has these ISO capabilities along with 10fps shutters speeds, it could possibly be the perfect camera, but that is pure speculation obviously.
"The only other full-frame DSLRs available at the time were its big brothers the EOS 1D Mk2 and EOS 1Ds Mk2"
Theh 1D series is not full-frame!
Life is so damned cruel. Commiserations. Mind, this was about the cost of my Canon D60 when it first came out. It seems, in many ways, to be the ideal camera suiting most users needs - including 1080p video. Spring is here, March 1st and just saw a bee at my window! Great time to have a good camera. Me, I am now using a Samsung GX20. I wanted something different from Canon and it IS very different. LOL! Nah, it is a great camera. For 𧺫 from Amazon you get a camera better than a Canon 50D and access to all those old and new Pentax lenses. Maybe a Canon 5DMkII next year...
Another example of video. Not recorded by me unfortunately!
@ Kaben
Thanks for the info & opinion on the 5D MK2, love the shots of your 'flying' dog :)
Would like to see a 100% crop of one of those just to see if the sharpness is there. I'm sure it is, but I like pixel peaking. I've always had issues with the AI tracking on anything other than the 1D series bodies, certainly the 40D's and the 5D are way, way to slow to track fast cars and wildlife reliably...even if there just coming directly to camera.
@red hot sheep. Error fixed. Thanks! My last camera was a 1D Mark II and it is indeed not a full-frame camera - the sensor in that measured 28.7 x 19.1mm and it had a 1.3x focal length multiplier just like the 1D Mark III, the 1D Mark II N, and the original 1D.
The 5d MkII is the Obama of cameras: All the fawning is a bit unseemly. Yes, it's a great camera, but how much of the greatness is actually the 5D it updates? There is really nothing innovative about the MkII. It has basically the same sensor, tricked out with more pixels, i.e. more pixel density, with processing for the added noise. The cumbersome video is tacked on -- glorified live view output -- as a marketing gimmick, plus a few peripheral improvements. A 1.x but certainly not a 2.0.
As the long-awaited update of the 5D, the MkII a fiasco, a hasty attempt by Canon to catch up after being stirred from their complacency by the Nikon D700. And now there's Panasonic's GH1, a true innovation and a potential Canon-killer.
"And now there's Panasonic's GH1, a true innovation and a potential Canon-killer"
I think the key word there is 'potential', because panasonic are a *long* way off Canon in the development cycle. The GH1 may well be a good system, but who would want to invest in a camera system from panasonic instead of canon or nikon - if you were serious about photography?
I have read on the dpreview forum of a number of problems with the Video mode of the 5D MkII, including the following.
Stuttering of the video recording is said to happen with changes in brightness of the scene during shooting. Seems to be a result of the auto-focus system altering the aperture of the lens, and interrupting the recording stream. Locking the aperture does not seem to work. Even if it did, I cannot see how this would be of use on a video camera. It will encounter variations in brightness during shooting a scene, and exposure must be continuously variable.
The built-in mike picks up the sound of the autofocus mechanism.
The Quick-Time MOV recording file format is also roundly condemned by non Mac users.
I wonder if 5D Mk II users could comment on just how serious they have found these and other shortcomings with the Video mode.
I agree the camera is a perfect piece of kit i am a pro of 28 years and have used teh iDS MK11 for years, i am very dissapointed with the video capture as i thought it would be good when the family wanted to take some video but the focus is useless, who wants video without real time autofocus, the only good video i have taken is when i did not move, whats the point !!!
I borrowed an EOS 5D MkII with the 24-105 f/4 and the Speedlite 580EX II flashgun to shoot a friend's wedding last weekend, and I couldn't possibly have chosen a better kit for the job. I kind of wish I hadn't though, because now I have got to get one myself by any means necessary. Anyone want to buy a kidney?
Well that's a co-incidence as I was shooting a friend's wedding with the 5D2 that weekend too.
I agree, it's a great camera. Full frame is something I've craved for so long and it's just beautiful - suddenly my 24-70mm lens becomes pretty much the only lens I need for most situations.
Got some nice shots of the occasion despite the locations, a dingy registry room, basement restaurant and the total cloud cover (nebulous). I was using a Metz 45CL4 digital flash (or trying to) and tried to keep ISO at a maximum of 1600, which is definitely still very good. 3200 is acceptable for some shots but beyond that, you'd be hard pushed to salvage a decent colour shot I think.
I find its frame rate plenty good enough and have the 40D as a back up. The 9-point AF worked well in group situations, allowing me to just concentrate on getting a decent shot so no complaints about that. Also took a little video, using an external Rhode shotgun mic, but that was pretty awful really. All that kit weighed a tonne so things were very shaky! Didn't have opportunity to set up a tripod despite having one with me. Looked the part (a prat) at least.
Don't know anyone needing a kidney right now, Cliff. If I find someone I'll let you know. I wasn't paid for the day and it'll be a long while yet before I can afford any more tasty camera or a/v gear, or even beer come to think of it. Yup, plenty of sacrifices made in the pursuit of photography, taking it and viewing the work of others (mostly motion-photography of course). So, I hope you find the funds soon or otherwise get hold of one without needing to sell body parts first!
I would like to know why Canon is trying to combine an HD video in this outstanding piece of equipment! Either you shoot photos and it's already hard enough to get the right one or you concentrate on making a movie. It is absurd to combine both. Maybe for the low entry level but not at this level which is a professional level. That's why I won't buy this camera to replace my aging EOS. I have got a fantastic SONY HD camera. Why must I pay 2000 odds pound for a camera who is not going to help me shooting movie.
It's ridiculous and Canon should NOT mix pleasure and professionalism. Great great mistake from Canon.
Alex, many professionals are using this camera to take video, be it wedding or more theatrical. With the wide range of professional lenses available and (almost) full manual control of depth of field etc, they're getting very good results which far exceed anything but dedicated professional video-cameras that you'll really only see very serious video-photographers use.
Canon were mostly just responding to the competition in providing video and live-mode shooting but there is a great deal of sense in keeping up with consumer demands even on a more professionally featured camera like this. Photo-journalists, capturing news reportage or sporting events can also process high quality (2 megapixel) stills from a video sequence, this resolution (1920x1080) being more than high enough for web usage and good enough for most typical print mediums.
The limitations of using an SLR is again in having the right accessories - a better professional grade microphone (on shoe or off) and something to support such a heavy piece of equipment since you can't just rest it on your shoulder. Something like the fig-rig (from Manfrotto) would really help stabilise shots. My own limited experience shooting video has been mostly candid. I did however take some macro-video of a tiny garden spider and I can see, if you're determined and good at it, a proliferation of genuine creative uses for DSLR captured video - tilt and shift, fish-eye, lens-baby etc which you can already find on such sites as Vimeo and YouTube.
Until Canon catch up with the makers of such unoffical firmware as the Magic Lantern team and provide additional much-needed features for this camera such as gain control and timestamping, then the camera will still best serve for stills use. The video function doesn't interfere or diminish the rest of the camera's functions or performance and so I myself am very glad it's included though I don't see myself ever using it for creating any serious video.
As of 2010, just ordered mine via Digital River and staff sales. On backorder as ever it has been wherever you order it from. Come on Canon I have just sold my 5d Classic and don't want to feel I have shot myself in the foot.

HELP : car wont start, code P0171/P0174
So my car started acting up about a month ago at a traffic light, wanting to die and no matter how much i hit the gas peddle it wouldnt go over 3k-4k rpm but little by little i managed to get it home where it finally died. so i turn the key and it cranks but nothing so i got the scanner and got the codes P0171/P0174.....so ive been spending about a month on here reading up on the causes and problems and heres what ive done so far :
checked all fuses in fuse box and all are good
replaced fuel filter
replaced fuel pump (i can hear it turn on and off)
replaced spark plugs
replaced air filter
cleaned the MAF sensor
checked all the boots for tears and are all good
checked the nipple on the fuel rail today and a lot of fuel came out
so i went to jump the car (since its been stopped for about a month) and left the cables on the battery for about 5 minutes and turn the key and NOTHING....fuel pump turns on, engine cranks and turns over, but doesnt start
Can anyone help me??? i dunno what else to do but take it to the mechanic :( maybe i missed something??
Could it be a bad battery??? i noticed that after i remove the jumper cables, the car doesnt turn over and theres a clicking noise when i turn the key but all the lights and flicker with the clicking noise for like 5 minutes and then dies???
UPDATE fuel lines were crossed when i changed my fuel filter :banghead: car running smoother then ever....thanks for the help guys, surprised no one thought of this tho lol :clap:
thanks guys
You probably have a bad MAF or intake leak somewhere..
I was having the same problems minus the starting, but I found it was a bad DISA valve. Its really easy to replace unfortunately, the part is quite expensive ($100used -$300ish new). I was lucky to find a cool guy on this forum who was selling one for pretty cheap.
My DISA valve crapped out at 102k so its possible that this could be it.
any other ideas??? battery maybe??
I had same codes p0171 p0174 and found out it was my DISA. Fixed it and now it idles fine.
Suggest you read the first 2 links below in my signature.
Keep in mind, many times even if you find a single problem like the DISA that seems to clear your codes, you may in fact have other problems.
The only way to verify you engine is running properly is to verify fuel trims with a scan tool that can read real time data.
Also while you are at it, verify you coolant temp is correct as well, see this link - http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthr...ght=thermostat
Did any lights on your dash turn on before the car died? Like battery light ? dsc/traction control light or brake light for eg?
I highly suggest you read the sentence in my sig under the picture of my car.
Suggest you read my posts here and in other threads.
You need to take your battery to get charged and tested first. Advance auto parts can do it rather quickly.
Start there,
Then check your fuses again.
Check your disa to see if it is bad.
After you have done that we can go further.
yea everything turns on on the dash when the car has the jumper cables connected, radio turns on and the engine cranks and turns just, doesnt start
going to buy a new battery at walmart tonight and if thats not the problem, ill just return it
replace intake manifold runner control, clear codes
Arvin's Samsung Galaxy S3
Charge/replaced battery.
Before turning key on, push throttle pedal to the floor and hold it there, then turn the key and try to crank engine for up to 20 seconds at a time.
Have been seeing many flooded cars in the cold weather lately.
If your try to start car with pedal to the floor and nothing, try the opposite, get a can of Starting Fluid, good 2 second shot into MAF opening once air filter has been removed.
Also if the engine sounds like it is spinning too fast, then you may have to pull plugs, put about a tablespoon of oil in each cylinder, turn engine over a few times, put plugs back and and see what happens.
Good luck!
what is that???
its what people call a disa
Arvin's Samsung Galaxy S3
Sounds more like a spark issue. Test to see if your getting a spark. Than test for fuel on the fuel line pressure second.
YES, you should clear the codes to see if they go away or other codes come up.
UPDATE : went to check on the car today and hook it back up with jumper cables, then i realized that i never checked the fuses under the hood so i checked them and they were all good....so 15 minutes go by and i turn the key....all lights come on, fuel pump turns on and i turn the key....engine turns over and doesnt start.
so i decide to check the fuel nipple again and this time no fuel came out of it. so i turn the key to position 2, fuel pump turn on and i give it another go and same thing. i check the nipple again and no fuel......so it has the be the fuel pump relay right???
i have a half of tank of gas, so im not leaking fuel anywhere
Before you go and assume it is the fuel pump relay, check your power at the fuel pump. If you don't have proper 12v, then check your power for the fuel pump working back thru fuses, to relay and then ebox fuse. If you do have power, then you need to go forward and check your fuel pump, and then fuel filter.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
*If the pet you are interested in has an asterisk by his/her name, it is because they were not admitted into the shelter with a name so I have chosen one temporarily for them.
If you would be interested in sending a donation, please email me directly and I can give you a mailing address. If you'd like, I will also update you on how the money was used. Thanks so much!
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
