It was fleeting summertime by the Volga river, and I was in love with Maria. I was also in Kostroma.
It was fleeting summertime by the Volga river, and I was in love with Maria. I was also in Kostroma. It was hard to believe that I had spent a whole week in this old Tsarist town, traipsing overgrown pavements, perspiring under giant skies. And wasn't all this grass growing at a preternatural rate? Perhaps speed was in the nature of Russian herbage, given the certainty that frosts would kill it all within weeks.
The whole of Kostroma, with its ancient, off-colour trading arcades, seemed to have exploded in undergrowth. There beside the brown waters of the Volga, I expected to find horses being saddled up for journeys into Tartary.
Instead, here was Maria, pale and serious. "Of course, I am not planning to spend the rest of my life in this dull little place," she told me. Nor, apparently, was she impressed by the fact that the dynasty of the Romanov Tsars had originated here.
Later she pointed at a low concrete wall overlooking the river. "This is where we usually sit," she sighed. And we sat. There was nothing else to do. So what now? Where could this possibly lead, beyond days, and more days, waking up in an old hotel room with peeling wallpaper, while receptionists downstairs knitted socks and waitresses in the breakfast hall looked affronted when asked to bring coffee? I was in Kostroma. I was in love. But right now I could only hold my head in my hands, listening to thunder and incessant rain, beside a dank skyline of unkempt trees and storm-stained tower blocks.
Maria, too, was losing heart. When I called her the next morning, she gave me several plausible reasons why we could not meet that day. "The Ipatevsky monastery?" she yawned. "Isn't that your kind of thing? Can't you go by yourself? The frescoes are startling." I imagined her hands dropping effortlessly at her side. Her eyes would close in a sceptical smile. She was the most startling thing in Kostroma. Other than suicide. In other words, I only had one choice: to get on to that river, and out of this town, fast.
What was a Russian river for, after all, if not for escaping hopeless loves?
According to Chekhov, the Volga put gloom into people's souls. "Whoever is born on the Volga carries her image through life," added Trotsky. Perhaps, then, the Volga would continue to lash me with images of the beautiful, unobtainable Maria, no matter how far down its length I travelled. I hoped so.
Every day, one saw the boats drifting past, southbound for Astrakhan and Rostov, or northbound for Moscow. And at Kostroma's dilapidated boat station, one afternoon, I found a vessel for Kazan.
"You do whatever you want," said Maria with a fixed smile, her lashes glittering in the sun. "Yes, I'll do whatever I want," I replied, handing my fare to a drunken sailor, securing for myself a private cabin, with a sink and a window. After all: what more than this (I now asked myself) could a man want from life? I would travel to the south, down Europe's longest river. I would submerge my emotional heart within that of Russia itself. Turgenev or Pushkin would have done the same. Probably.
Only later, on deck – after I had watched Maria, clutching her skirts, disappear in a shimmer of gold up the bank and into the trees – did I realise that the atmosphere on the Yakov Sverdlov might be stretching my penance a little too far. Turning round, I got the feeling that I had blundered into a Soviet sanatorium.
Here we were, floating away from the station with a sinister, disembodied voice crackling from the bridge. A mournful silence was about to descend. Just a few old men and women with sandals on their feet and mushrooms of silver hair on their heads were shuffling about. One minute we were in farmland scattered with shacks and rickety wooden houses; the next we would be in forest-choked wilderness stretching to distant green horizons.
Only the safety instructions, pinned to a wall below deck, featuring a man with tousled hair and a stiff upturned collar like a romantic poet, looked interesting. Otherwise, there was nothing to do, except pace the narrow decks, or gloomy corridors occupied by cleaners in turquoise aprons and peroxided hair.
Even the bar was closed, which shocked me. At dinner a polite waitress asked if I wanted tea or coffee with my meal. It was as though we were here to escape, not into drunkenness, but from it. "Please," I begged. "Give me vodka."
So I ate and drank alone, while oil-smooth waters fanned out in silence behind us. The white cupolas of a lonely monastery came gliding by. A tiny rowing boat passed in front. I saw those sandy banks turn golden in the evening sunlight.
Were we, or were we not, sailing through the ruins of a dead empire? From time to time, empty factories came in and out of view, surrounded by cranes rusted into immobility. And yet here on board, pedantic old rules still operated. One announcement spluttered at 8am, telling us to get up. Then came another at 11pm, when the sky was still streaked with polar light, telling us to go to bed.
One morning, from a wooden chair on deck, I tried asking a man in a tracksuit and plastic sandals if he had done this trip before. "Seventeen times," he mumbled, as the boat pulled into one of the locks built along the river. Huge machinery began towering up around us, including weed-clogged ladders and slabs of concrete so mighty that only Soviet Man could have built them. On shore, men stood beside motorcycles with sidecars of Second World War vintage. One old woman in a headscarf with a sickle over one shoulder was walking along the towpath. She was so close she could have stepped on to the boat. "Morning," she said. The old man beside me suddenly sprang into life. "What's the name of this place?" he burst out from his deck chair. "It's been a pleasure!" we all called out, when the lock doors finally opened and the boat began to inch forward.
Kazan, a few hours later, was quietly frying in the sun when the Yakov Sverdlov arrived. I seemed to be the only passenger disembarking. The sultriness of Kostroma, here, had been replaced by a desert heat. I no longer knew where I was. Could a city, 500 miles east of Moscow, be considered a part of Europe? But perhaps it was. Grand 19th-century buildings, with towers and slate roofs, stood on street corners. At night, young people began walking the streets, listening to live music and drinking beer – but the Russian winter would smother even these slight pleasures in a few weeks' time.
Five more days on a boat, or two on a train: that was the choice I faced when considering the next leg of my journey down the river, to Volgograd. Thinking back to the sanatorium, I chose the train.
On board, the next day, I promptly found myself in a compartment with a huge, blond, military man, who was only 23 years old, but wore a loaded gun in a halter strapped round his shoulders.
"Don't worry, I'm an off-duty body-guard," he told me. He was from Ulyanovsk, of all places, now renamed Simbirsk: Lenin's home town, a few more stops down the river. He had been in special forces in the Russian army. "How can I help you?" he kept asking. "You want the window open? You need tea?"
But when the window stuck in its frame, and when the movement of the train had slowed to a gentle bounce, his blond features sagged grey with anxiety. "You see, I was born in Lenin's home town," he kept sighing. "And what can I do about that?" It was as if he were talking about a wayward uncle who had taken to crime. Lenin, for him, was still slightly bigger than Russia. And now, whether Lenin stayed in Red Square, or got buried, or suffered anything else, was a great worry and a responsibility.
No matter. The next day, a family from Dagestan moved in. There was dad (friendly), his 17-year-old daughter Fareeda (attractive) and 15-year-old son Tamerlane (smart). There was also a swarthy man from Azerbaijan who had fallen in love with Fareeda, and who later explained to me how he felt about her. "What do you reckon about that empty compartment down there?" he asked.
"Are you crazy?"
Everyone, it transpired, had spent the previous eight months working in the frozen oilfields of northern Siberia, and now wanted to enjoy a hot summer in the Caucasus. "My sister has set fire to him," Tamerlane explained, as if in sympathy for the Azerbaijani's condition.
We sat around for hours, drinking tea. People kept buying me pieces of cake. We picnicked on strawberries. Tamerlane gave me old Soviet coins in exchange for English ones. Fareeda spent three hours making up her eyelashes and looking dark and beautiful. This was the Russian south.
Rolling across the steppe into Volgograd at dusk, I glimpsed the gigantic statue of Mother Russia from the train, marking the point of the German surrender at Stalingrad on 31 January 1943. We seemed to have entered another, stranger, world. I disembarked under a hot night sky and soon found myself in a magnificent hotel room, a Stalinist palace, with parquet flooring, a ceiling 6m high, and a balcony overlooking the city's central square.
But the strangest thing was to have the place completely to myself. Walking the corridors I met no one. All I could hear from the square, far below, were outbreaks of funereal music. Events unspeakably terrible had once happened in this city. Now it felt as though the Soviet regime lived on; as if this whole hotel or maybe this whole city was no more than a ghost. One could only suppose that my journey down the Volga was coming to some kind of meaningful conclusion.
To Astrakhan there remained another 24 hours, by boat. From deck, on that last day, I would see wide sandbanks and cliffs of loamy soil crumbling into the water. In this heat, it would not have surprised me to see water buffalo breaking the surface. Surely I was coming to the end of Europe now? So it seemed. Astrakhan, to judge by its name and proximity to the Caucasus, promised oriental costumes and a mêlée of peoples and tongues. And on my first night in town, I could almost believe it, to judge by the people carousing, late, by the shores of the Volga. A Middle-Eastern spin had entered the pop music. The local mobsters sat over shashlik and tea under trellises.
From my room, I called Maria in Kostroma, to tell her that I had reached the end of the Volga. "You mean you are still in Russia?" She sounded very far away.
"Of course."
"What have you been doing?"
I told her how I had come 2,000 miles along the river that protected Muscovy, that nourished and inspired the nation, that saved it from fascism...
"I'm glad you are enjoying it," interrupted Maria, with the voice of one who did not intend to be so easily defined. And suddenly, on that hot night, a presentiment of Russian winter came blowing through my heart.Reuse content

Trees - common enquiries
My neighbour's trees (including council trees) encroach over my boundary - can I cut them back?
If you are concerned about trees overhanging your boundary you are able to exercise your 'Common Law' right to maintain your boundary. Under Common Law you are entitled to prune back the branches or roots that grow over your boundary from neighbouring property, only to the boundary line but not beyond (that would be 'trespass & damage').
You are required to offer these branches/roots back to the owner, who has no obligation to accept them (in the majority of cases the owner will not accept them). If that's the case it's your responsibility to dispose of the pruned branches/roots responsibly - you are not entitled to deposit them on the tree owner's land without their permission (this would be regarded as 'fly-tipping'). Residents can dispose of this sort of waste at the Longshot Lane Household Waste Recycling Centre.
However, if the overhanging tree is protected under planning law, you will require the council's written consent before you carry out any work. Examples of this are where the tree has a tree preservation order or is within a conservation area (pruning or removing such trees without permission is an offence in law).
You can check the status of a tree by searching our online map.
Map showing TPOs in Bracknell Forest
If you prefer, you can get a simple yes/no response from us to confirm whether a tree is protected by a TPO. You can do this by completing our protected tree online enquiry form.
My neighbour's trees (including council trees) are blocking my light and shading my property- what can I do?
Technically the tree owner only has a duty to ensure their trees are safe and there is no legal restriction on height that trees can grow to. If you have concerns regarding a tree ask the owner how they intend to maintain it and explain your concerns. You may also be able to cut the overhanging branches back to the boundary yourself (see Common Law above) but you cannot prune the tree's height without the owners express permission. Before either you or the tree owner undertakes works to the trees it is important to check if they are protected by a tree preservation order, or located within a conservation area.
My neighbour's trees (including council trees) are shading my property so badly they affect my quality of life
The tree owner is not required or obliged in respect of any law to prune the tree for the benefit of his/her neighbour's level of light. The only exception might be under the Anti-Social Behaviour Act where the trees are assessed and shown to fall within the definition of a 'high-hedge'. If you believe this to be the case, please contact our Environmental Health Team. For further information please visit GOV.UK.
What action do I take if I suspect that trees are causing subsidence to my property?
It is important that you contact your home insurance provider, who will look into your concerns and may want to investigate the damage as part of a claim.
If your insurance provider believes that your neighbour's trees (including council trees) are implicated in the damage, they will contact the respective tree owner on your behalf.
The tree is affecting my television and satellite reception
There is no legal right to television reception. Pruning trees is unlikely to provide an adequate solution to signal interference. There is also no basis in law or policy for the expectation for the council to mitigate the problem. Advice is available at:
Birds roosting in the trees outside my house are creating a mess on my property
This is not recognised as a legal nuisance and the inconvenience it may cause is not sufficient justification to remove or disfigure the tree. Unfortunately, pruning the tree is not the solution either, as the birds will simply roost on the remaining branches.
The tree outside my house is dropping leaves/fruit/cones on my property
There is little the council can do as this is a natural process and not one the British legal system recognises as a 'legal nuisance'. Please contact us.Similarly, there is nothing we can do to alleviate the symptoms and effects of pollen on residents. Please see NHS advice relating to hay fever for more information.
Tree roots are growing through the pavement - who do I report this to?
To make sure that the pavements are maintained in a safe condition, all footpaths throughout the borough are inspected regularly and assessments are made about their condition. Any safety defects identified are then included in a programme for repair.
You can send us a report online using our condition of road online report form. Alternatively, please contact Customer Services.

Beoordelingen van andere accommodaties van deze host
We genoten van het verblijf in het appartement zeer veel. Het appartement was schoon en goed onderhouden en heeft een prachtig uitzicht op de Augarten. Daarnaast is het appartement goed gelegen. Sleutels af te halen enz. heel gemakkelijk. Dank je wel!
Wir haben den Aufenthalt in der Wohnung sehr genossen. Die Wohnung war sauber und gepflegt und hat einen tollen Ausblick auf den Augarten. Außerdem ist das Appartement gut gelegen. Schlüsselübergabe etc. ganz unkompliziert. VIelen Dank!
Het is een super mooi appartement!
Ondanks bouwplaats was alles super schoon en rustig. We maakten een thuisgevoel. Het appartement is ook zeer kind veilig in mijn ogen.
We zouden graag opnieuw en opnieuw!
Es ist eine super schöne Wohnung!!!
Trotz Baustelle war alles super sauber und ruhig. Wir haben uns ganz zuhause gefühl. Die Wohnung ist auch sehr kindersicher in meinen Augen.
Wir würden immer wieder gerne kommen!!!!!!
Gunstige locatie. Grote lichte gezellige appartement. Er is alles wat je nodig hebt + thee, koffie, suiker, enz. We hadden een geweldige vakantie. Wenen is prachtig.
Convenient location. Large bright cozy apartment. There is everything you need + tea, coffee, sugar, etc. We had a great holiday. Vienna is beautiful.
Very nice apartment which had pretty much everything we needed. Lovely high ceilings and a quiet residential neighbourhood. Location is great and we were able to use the hop on off bus Red Line stop 8 for Augarten to get into the Ring with the Vienna Pass. From the airport take the S bahn to Praterstern station and fro there a taxi is 8 euro to the apartment.
The 5 tram runs every 5 minutes and connects to the U bahn in 2 stops. There is a Billa and Lidl within 2 minutes walk from the front door.
Host was in apartment on arrival and then left us to enjoy the delights of the city. Would definitely stay here again.
Only suggestions would be a little more information about tram timetables and amenities in the area in English. A microwave would be a welcome addition to the kitchen.
Very clean, nice and complete appartment. With large rooms, large (and good) beds) and spacious hall. We stayed here with two adults and two older children. They very appreciated the excellent Wifi connection. A great location to be in the centre quickly, with tramstops and metro nearby. So its very easy not only to reach the centre of town, but also Schonbrunn and the Prater park. We could rent a garage as well, which proved very handy. Within a few minutes walk you can reach supermarkets and bakeries. Real perfect. No negative points at all! And last but not least: the appartment is easy to find, and Gisella was there to give us a warm welcome and took time to give us tips and information.
Perfect place for a family with two children.
We had an absolute lovely stay at the apartment! It is very spacious, clean, comfi beds, great showers and house and kitchen have ALL the amenities needed, so you don't need to bring anything along, which is great! Gisella and Pia are lovely and cheerful home owners, very relaxed and trusting. We thoroughly enjoyed Vienna, it is very easy to reach the city center by subway. The adjecent park is lovely to visit too! Hope to come back one day
Excellent Place, perfect for our needs here in Vienna.
We are six doctors who have a meeting every year for discussions. Nice big kitchen suitibale for all of us and our discussions, but also bedroms en modern bathrooms. A calm area, nice park and not too long walk to the city.
Gisella is a very nice and kind hostess.
We can strongly recommend this fancy apartment!
The Society of Munthe

Lena Karlberg, Bengt Larsson, Anders Molin, Magnus Eriksson, Åke Hazell and Jonas Jonsson.
Just returned from four great easter days in Wienna.
The apartment fully met our expectations. Bright, clean, spacious, quiet and perfect location.
Gisella was a very helpful host. Told us about things to see, good restaurants and how to get around.
She also helped to get a new bed. The sofa was not very plesant for our tall young peple, travelling with us. So a suggestion would be to change the sofa to a real bed :-)

What Part of Your Car Should You Modify?
As one of the companies that can provide you with the best whitney auto parts for your cars, of course, it is also one of the abilities of the company to help you know better what parts of your cars that you should modify. The discussion, then, will be below.
– Wheels and Tires
If you want to modify this section or part of your car, you can do consider the price of the wheels and tires first. It is because the ability to replace the wheels is usually hapered by the prices. the reason is because their prices are quite expensive and even more it must be matched accordingly with the number of wheels on the car.
– Car horn
To modify the horn of the car, usually for the standard horn that has a price of about 200 thousand or less, you can choose a great horn, the sound of which is not too loud but you could use a horn that does not interfere with other road users.

Today's Morning Brief is brought to you by the Association of Canadian Port Authorities. Today is World Maritime Day – a day to celebrate the indispensable role of Maritime transportation, the backbone of international shipping that brings goods to Canadians.
Giorno vs. Trost debate now looking unlikely – Premiers send Trudeau letter demanding meeting on health care – Trudeau defends approving LNG project – Price tag for passengers' food, drink on PM's plane was $1,300/person – Trade brings better jobs: EDC – Sanders helps Clinton court millennials – Congress disses Obama one last time – And finally, the hearing loss epidemic of the Trump campaign.
Good Thursday morning to you.
To read your Morning Clippings, click here.
So this is disappointing: It appears the most anticipated debate of the week in Canadian politics — between Stephen Harper's former chief of staff, Guy Giorno, and a suddenly bellicose underdog Conservative leadership candidate, Brad Trost, over the appropriateness of the former's relocation expenses and the latter's free MP travel and accommodation — isn't going to happen. In a Facebook post late Wednesday afternoon, Giorno said a debate with Trost that was supposed to take place on CBC's Power & Politics Wednesday night won't be on the cards until Trost agrees not to sue him for anything said on the program. Our BJ Siekierski has more on the circus.
Forget about the weather, the premiers are itching to talk healthcare. They've sent a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to ask for a sit down on healthcare funding before the first ministers' meet to discuss climate change this fall. "In the letter obtained by CBC News, the premiers say if a meeting on health care is not possible by mid-December, they want the prime minister to commit to extending increased health-care transfers for at least another year."
Still with climate, word is the Liberal government is going to be bringing the Paris agreement on greenhouse gas emissions to the House for debate and a vote by MPs next week. CBC News has that story as well.
Trudeau, meanwhile, now finds himself in the hot seat, defending the decision to grant conditional approval to a massive liquefied natural gas project in northern British Columbia. As CP's Bruce Cheadle notes, it was a bit of a Goldilocks defence in an effort to position the feds in the sweet spot of a boiling debate over energy development and environmental protection.
As for where the sweet spot lies on this one, we're not sure — but you can be certain the Conservatives are licking their chops over it. In the latest expenses to be exposed, fears about passengers traveling on a government Airbus with the prime minister not being well-fed can be put to rest. It turns out $1,300 per person was spent to keep those who accompanied him on his first two international trips stocked in food and drinks. That's a whole lot of peanuts. CP's Joan Bryden has that story.
The populist anti-trade rhetoric dominating political debate in the United States and Europe is based on verifiably false and outdated notions about the risks and benefits of globalization, according to a report released yesterday morning by Export Development Canada. The research was presented by Peter Hall, vice-president and chief economist of Export Development Canada, in Ottawa at a breakfast event for policy makers and business people organized by iPolitics Live, the live journalism arm of iPolitics. More about the event here.
Hillary Clinton is trotting out the big Bernie guns and hoping that her former adversary can help her connect with millennials drawn to third-party candidates. Yesterday Sanders was stumping with the Democratic nominee in New Hampshire.
From our friends at Politico: Congress' overwhelming rebuke of President Barack Obama on a bill allowing 9/11 victims to sue the government of Saudi Arabia — and the bitter finger-pointing that followed — was a fitting coda to the dysfunctional relationship between the Obama White House and Capitol Hill. "In the twilight of his presidency, Obama on Wednesday was summarily handed the first successful veto override on a bill that was wildly popular in Congress, yet stoked sharply worded warnings from top administration officials about potential national security ramifications." Obama says the move was "a mistake" and "basically a political vote."
Finally, we leave you with the hearing loss epidemic of the Trump campaign. And while you may have been waiting for the Saturday Night Live logo to appear on your screen during Monday's debate, only to be disappointed, here's your consolation prize: There's a new Donald set to air this weekend.
Have yourself a good day.
Only the news you need, from all the sources you know.

Why Exterior Electrical Outlets Stop Working
Recently the exterior outlets have gone out. The effected areas are the entrance outlet, the rear outlet, the exterior light as well as the outlet inside the garage…
Electrical Question from Ted about Exterior GFCI Outlets
Background: Ted, a Homeowner from Snohomish, Wa
Additional Comments: If this works out well I will certainly suggest this to other people.
Dave's Reply:
Thanks for your electrical question Ted.
You most likely have a GFCI outlet or circuit breaker that has tripped off which controls these areas.
Check at all the locations that you have described for a GFCI Outlet and push the reset button. Sometimes the main GFCI outlet is located in the laundry room in a convenient location to make it easy to reset when situations like this occur.

Where do I find the source of a table?[edit]
I want to edit the table/chart "Rankine temperature conversion formulae" in the article "Rankine scale" but I can't find the source of the table. --Coroboy (talk) 11:29, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
:If you click 'edit' at the top if Rankine scale, you'll get here, and the table is indeed in there.
- It begins;
Wrong table removed
Chzz ► 11:39, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
- Chzz, wrong table. He wants the one that's transcluded, id est this one Template:Temperature --Imagine Wizard (talk • contribs • count) Iway amway Imagineway Izardway. 11:42, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
- Argh, no, sorry, wrong one!
- I think you mean Template:Temperature, which is transcluded on that page? Chzz ► 11:44, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, he does. How do you edit that one? --Imagine Wizard (talk • contribs • count) Iway amway Imagineway Izardway. 11:47, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
Coroboy, you can now edit the page, and you'll see the wiki table at the top. Cheers, Chzz ► 13:44, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
While you were doing that, I found my way through the template and fixed that. I had lots to learn about templates and nested templates! I ended up at [[:Template:Temperature/R/int] where I made the necessary change. --Coroboy (talk) 14:03, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
Your Changes to "Template:Temperature/Ro/int" et. al.[edit]
Please be aware that for differences in temperature, for non-absolute scales like Celsius (and any scale for which 0 of that scale ≠ absolute zero) require the degree symbol to be after the unit, to clarify that a difference is intended, rather than a position. For instance:
- "Four Celsius degrees above 20 degrees Celsius is 24 degrees Celsius"
- "3 Fahrenheit degrees below 84 degrees Fahrenheit is 81 degrees Fahrenheit."
Just as you cannot multiply positions by constants on relative scales ("half of 30°F is 15°F"), you can't add positions on relative scales. Let me know if you have evidence to the contrary before I revert your edits to the page (and sister pages) mentioned in this message's title. Ironmagma (talk) 00:45, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
- I don't profess to be an expert on this matter. I just observed that the usage "C°" was not supported by any article that I had read to do with temperatures. The article Celsius includes the statement "The degree Celsius (°C) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale as well as a unit to indicate a temperature interval, a difference between two temperatures or an uncertainty." In response to your message I have done some investigating and discovered some lengthy discussion on Talk:Celsius#Symbol for degrees Celsius. If you want to discuss the matter further, please take it up with the editors there.
- If you decide that "C°" is correct for an interval, then you will have a lot of articles to correct! Coroboy (talk) 20:29, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
Romanization of Russian[edit]
Sorry I missed the rest of it. There is no easy way to undo older edits when there are intervening edits in between—it has to be done manually. Fortunately, in this case the intervening edits seem to only have re-arranged a few spaces, so it shouldn't be a big deal. I reverted the article to the version of March 3. Thanks for catching this! Best,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); April 2, 2011; 00:42 (UTC)
April 2011[edit]
Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Helvetica: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Oneiros (talk) 07:58, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
WikiProject Writing Systems[edit]
I've noticed you editing a large number of articles concerning Wikipedia:WikiProject Writing systems, and would like to invite you to join the project by adding your name to the participants' list. WikiProject Writing Systems aims primarily to provide Wikipedia (en) with a consistent treatment for each writing system and general information relating to the study of writing systems. Many writing systems already have extensive pages, and the systematic information on those pages is not presented in a consistent way. A main purpose of this WikiProject is to present that information consistently, that many notable writing systems are documented, and to ensure that each of the major subject areas relevant to each is covered, at least briefly. Your work on maintaining letter pages is definitely within the scope and interest of WikiProject Writing Systems, and personally, I would welcome your input on developing a standard format for letter pages.

Template for character computer codes[edit]
I was wondering if you wanted to work with me on setting up a standard tempate for tables of character computer codes that would allow us to systematize all that work you've been doing on the Cyrillic. If you would like to work on getting a standard format for those entries, I'd be happy to lend my assistance - I'm pretty good at the template syntax. VanIsaacWS 13:46, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- I'd be happy to discuss what is needed. I have not done much work with templates. Where is the best place for the discussion to be put? —Coroboy (talk) 23:02, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
I've had this project on the back burner for a while, but I managed to get template:UTF-8 working correctly, so the template can work quite efficiently now. Take a look at User:Vanisaac/charmap and let me know what you think. I basically stole your table from Che (Cyrillic) and turned it into an all-purpose template. VanIsaacWScontribs 05:35, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
- I like it. Don't worry about having stolen 'my' table! See User:Coroboy/sandbox#tests of template User:Vanisaac/charmap for further comments. —Coroboy (talk) 19:32, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
- Ahh, it's not sanitizing the inputs for spaces. That's a good thing to know. I had just copied the input for display and then formatted it for easy reading. Thanks for the heads. I had thought that lower case hex was neutral for HTML character reference, but I'll do some research, seeing as you think otherwise. VanIsaacWScontribs 20:36, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
- I got it whitespace sanitized now. I still don't know how to remove leading 0s for the numeric character reference, so right now, it automatically pads for consistency, even if it's less correct. Turns out that upper case is generally preferred for numeric character reference, so I've switched it out. VanIsaacWScontribs 21:08, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
- Well, I managed to find a way to get the leading zeroes truncated out, so I think it's all set. Let me know what you think now. VanIsaacWScontribs 10:24, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
- Last comment: I had the label "Unicode name" because I intended to use only the official Unicode names of characters. You now have "character name".
- I'm not doing a lot of Wikipedia editing at the moment, so it may be some time before I make a lot of use of this template, but it will make things easier. Thanks again for doing this. —Coroboy (talk) 13:42, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, the label "character name" was deliberate in order to account for non-Unicode characters mapped in another encodings or are available via a private use agreement. eg. I can imagine someone citing Tengwar letters, which have a private use agreement (CSUR), and, I believe, an older extended ASCII encoding, ala ISO 8859, but are not in Unicode yet. VanIsaacWScontribs 14:55, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

- I also got it to properly format when an alternate encoding does not have a mapping for a particular character. Now a blank or undefined parameter will format correctly, and will actually do better than a dash or N/A, which will show a "0" in the decimal column. An undefined parameter will simply show a blank cell in both the decimal and hex columns. VanIsaacWScontribs 22:32, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Sorry but there are no "other versions" of English. There's English then there's American. If I wanted to read an article written in American I'd go to us.wikipedia.org.

WP:DAB, entries are sentence fragments[edit]
Hi Coroboy,
I notice at WP:DAB you clarified and referred a couple of things to MoS. You also included the statement
- "Entries are sentence fragments; do not end them with periods or other punctuation."
While I have no particular problem with this, I have found in the past in tidying up DAB pages there is a mix of whether each entry does or does not end with a period (other punctuation e.g. a comma or semicolon seems much rarer). What I have tended to do is follow the prevailing style in the DAB, i.e. make all the entries end with a period or none of them (except the last, if appropriate). I don't mind being wrong here but is this definitely policy/style buried somewhere else in MoS (in which case should we have a ref to it) or did you just make it up? I don't mind, but in practice DABs do vary a lot in style e.g. how people introduce them, categorise them etc, so it is probably not a good thing to slip this in as "policy" without consensus if it is not already there.
I am no expert on this matter as I tend to use MoS and these pages etc as a reference guide, not as something I edit and pore over for its own ends. I am glad others do but am no expert (and MoS is such a constantly moving tar pit I doubt one article in a hundred actually meets it, since it is self-contradictory in many places.)
I'll put this at WT:DAB if you want, just wanted your own view first. Best wishes Si Trew (talk) 07:46, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
- Apart from adding a full stop, I only added the statement quoted above. The addition at WP:DABSTYLE is one of the points made at MOS:DABENTRY and it was the only point in the instructions you get when you begin to edit a DAB page that was not already included in WP:DABSTYLE. I copied the wording directly from the instructions given when you begin to edit a DAB page. —Coroboy (talk) 10:00, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Character set templates[edit]
(A year late, and a dollar short but...) Good work on the
chset-xxx templates! I helped get the ball rolling, and I'm glad someone found the time to clean up the templates so that they are finally fully wikified. — Loadmaster (talk) 15:41, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notifications[edit]
Symbols in character encoding tables often link to disambiguation pages - some symbols simply are ambiguous. I have therefore opted out of receiving bot notifications about inserting links to disambiguation pages. —Coroboy (talk) 16:45, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Tofa Language Page[edit]
First of all, thank you for developing the page. I don't speak Russian, but I can clearly see that there's a lot of research out there already published in Russian. Speaking of Russian sources, it appears that the link to the spreadsheet for the first reference on the Tofa language page is unsourced. Do you know where it is from? RlndGunslinger (talk) 22:27, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
- The spreadsheet comes from the official site of the Russian Federal State Statistics Service. I have added that information to the reference. —Coroboy (talk) 00:19, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
- Awesome; thank you! :) RlndGunslinger (talk) 12:00, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
- Some follow up: I have found several sources quoting numbers of native speakers in the 40-50 range in 2002. While under normal conditions one might expect the speaker population to grow, this would be truly exceptional in a critically endangered language, especially without a revitalization program. I'm still digging into sources to find out whether any efforts exist, or what they might be, but in the meantime, do you have any more information about how the Russian source got its numbers? Frankly, I'm rather skeptical of that kind of growth, and I think that those numbers may either be inflated or conflated. RlndGunslinger (talk) 04:10, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- Awesome; thank you! :) RlndGunslinger (talk) 12:00, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
- The Russian source is the official statistics from the Russian Federation Census of 2010. The question asked in the census has the sense of "What languages do you have a command of?".
- One source of increased numbers of people reporting the use of minority languages is the growing sense of freedom to openly acknowledge the use of a language which in the past has been illegal to use in public or provoked strong negative reactions from Russian speakers. —Coroboy (talk) 08:44, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

95% of this park is ownership-based. The area we were in was one of only a couple designated for short-term stays. It is a huge place and fun to walk around. How big, walking the perimeter is about 1.5 miles. Most owned spaces have RV's on them, but there are also ones with destination trailers or tiny homes (mostly park models). The short-term areas have exceptionally long pull-through spaces and a goofy system of being in one space, but hooking up to the pedestal for another site (makes sense once you see it). Great base-camp for hikes in the area and day trips to Grand Teton NP or Jackson Hole. - BubbaChris

We stayed here for just one night. Very nice community. Lots of summer full timers, with one section for short term travelers. Active Pickleball club play every morning. Heater on pool was broken, otherwise would have enjoyed water aerobics. Definitely would stay here again. Not on main road so no road noise. Good Wifi but will depend on your location. - Leocamp

This park has quite a few full time residents and snowbirds who buy their spaces. There aren't many spots available for overnight or weekly. The spot we had was "ok" - gravel and not very wide. But the people there were friendly. Didn't like that you had to get a key from the registration office in order to unlock the garbage cans to dispose of your garbage, but I guess they have their reasons for doing this. Also, our sewer drain was uphill which was kind of weird. - travel44

This is a decent campground if you don't mind being in the middle of nowhere. The sites are gravel and large. It's kind of like camping in a big gravel parking lot. The laundry facilities are clean and the machines worked well, but $2 for a regular-size washer and dryer is a little high. The campground doesn't offer any discounts at all, which is why we only stayed one night. - Pull Toy

An excellent place to stay. The views of the mountains and valley are great, as are the owners. The sites are nice and wide and sit up on the slight hillside to overlook the view. Hookups are modern and in excellent condition. Highway noise was not excessive, and light during the night. We had a great stay and will return. - imatravlin

Nice place, nice owners! The best Wi-Fi we have had so far on this trip and they use passwords. A bit of road noise during the day but not a problem at night. The shower rooms/laundry building is not heated so when you want to do something in that building you must turn on the heat timer. We stayed here five days in mid May so it was very cool and windy. The Wolf Den restaurant was not open during our stay. You must drive to Alpine (12 miles) or Thayne (8 miles) for any restaurants or groceries. We recommend the Yankee Doodle cafe in Alpine. The shade trees are small: no shade. It rained while we were here and the gravel/dirt roads and sites tend to become gravel and mud. Luckily the mud dries relatively quickly. We would stay at Wolf Den again in the future. - Drgnfli

We spent one night in this little park. Appearance is a bit shabby, and there are lots of seasonals/fulltimers, many of whom appear to be in the area for work. Owners are friendly and helpful, however, and the site was reasonably level, utilities worked fine, and the campground's location, back in a little canyon, kept the road noise to a minimum. Very quiet at night. Good for an overnighter; there's not much competition in Star Valley. - PokyRVer

Quiet, small park just far enough off US 89 to mute most of the road noise at night. Owners are very friendly & dog friendly, the sites are level but back-in only. This is an older park but it is the best option for exploring Star Valley WY area since the other RV parks in the area are directly on US 89 and really are nothing more than parking lots. - cfmelville

We were friendly greeted by the host and escorted to our site at arrival. We had no concerns for the Tavern in the front. I was disappointed to find no picnic table, however, we carry a fold-out aluminum table and chairs so were ok. The site was very narrow, but level...view of hills was lovely. - CJtripping

Check-in was through the park host. Had to visit the tavern onsite in order to process the credit card. Sites are narrow but there is adequate room to park the tow vehicle. Placement of the water spigot made it necessary to use an extension water hose to reach my city water port. No cable TV. TV reception from the Pocotello Falls repeaters was weak and snowy. The dumpster was constantly overflowing and trash had to be set on the ground. On the plus side, the wifi was the best I've experienced in weeks. This place is OK for overnighting but we won't be returning. - RVRenter

We didn't have any reservations after a day of driving through Yellowstone, and Jackson was so expensive and busy we were glad to find a place outside of the chaos and high prices. The lady that registered us was very nice and we were happy to have water, sewer, and electric. Although we were a bit disappointed there was no cable hook-up, our 13 year old was happy to have Wi-Fi! I was a little nervous with the tavern being right there because I was afraid it would be noisy but I was wrong. It was peaceful and we were able to walk to a Family Dollar to stock up on a few items! - NancyT

Small park being converted from mobile home to RV. Site had plenty of room from next and was fairly level. Good power water pressure high and sewer. In a pretty area convenient to Jackson without the exorbitant prices. Great as a base to explore the area. Road noise during day but we were gone. Quiet at night. Some full time residents in the remaining trailers but everyone was nice. Beautiful trails right across the road for walking and dogs. Would stay here again. - Darbone

We saw the reviews online and decided to try it, since there aren't a lot of choices in the area. Prices in Jackson are sky-high! This is a former mobile home park that the owner is converting to accommodate RV's. But, he wants mainly seasonal people, so you'd better call ahead to see if he has any spaces. Also, there is no office, so he has to know you're coming and be there to meet you. I would consider this a "back-yard" campground. There are a few sites along the driveway and a couple out back. There are full hookups, but no bathrooms or any other amenities. No Wi-Fi or cable or picnic table. There's a little grass around and a few trees, but we didn't have any shade. The mosquitoes were bad. He had just had the electric post put into our site, and the power kept cutting off, so we had issues there, but we got it working. - mom2wildlife

Small campground above Snake River along US 89. Some traffic noise. Sites along the river are the best, 6 & 8 are great. A few long sites for big rigs. Tables, bar bq, and fire rings. Lots of pine trees to give you shade. Only 14 sites with room between. Drive back & forth to Tetons & Jackson Hole would be long. Big climb down to the Snake to fish. Stayed in 17 ft Casita. Good overnight stop. - 2blondes

All sites are very large back-ins; roads are wide and access is good for larger rigs. Room to unhook toad. Friendly hosts on site. Made it our base for Jackson and Grand Tetons. Some traffic noise from highway but sound of Snake River was soothing. Group site across road. We were the only campers in our loop and there was only one in other loop. Site 8 looked best. Rate is Golden Age. - mvano

Dealing with frustration/emotions in poker?
What do you guys do when you get frustrated in poker? I mean, I'm happy I got out of my 24BI downswing at 100NL. I shot up like 36BI in less than 3 weeks switching from LAG to TAG, heavily reduced variance, and completely got out of it. My game has definitely improved a lot. But in the past few sessions, constantly running into the top of my opponents' ranges, getting called downed in spots where nobody is ever bluffing and where my range is so nutted, keep getting sucked out on, and losing flips over and over has been getting pretty annoying. It feels like it just eats away at me, especially at the higher stakes where the money really does matter. And especially right after experiencing a long, huge downswing that drove me insane.
Just yesterday, I played a two hour session. The very last minute I was supposed to play (so around the last 2-3 hands), I flop top two, GII OTF vs top pair + flush draw BB vs BTN, and lose the coin flip for my stack. I then lose my very next two and only all-ins preflop AA vs QQ, and KK vs AK. And today, I was only up 1 BI after a pretty long session because I spewed in some bad spots and got some coolers preflop. Then the last 15 minutes of my session, I lose 2BI in like 50 hands. I got sucked out on vs some loose aggro dude who was always playing back at me in a 3-bet pot, in some Zone poker, lose a coin flip (again) AK vs 22, and all that. I've been losing so many coin flips lately it's ridiculous, especially today. It's even more frustrating when you have 99 vs AK against a crazy guy 3-betting every hand, you dodge an A/K OTF & OTT, and then get owned on the river. He was tilting like crazy, and then when I have a hand he's at the top of his range. I think if he flopped an A/K it wouldn't have been as bad, but especially against a crazy dude losing to the A river was just pretty frustrating. Just after tonight, I noticed started to feel like really really hot. Like fever hot, maybe more. I just quit right after two big suckouts. It felt like my body was burning even though I was playing at night, and it was decently cool. I don't have tilting issues like I used to though, so it doesn't really affect my game.
I find the game pretty intriguing and interesting, but I get frustrated at times. I mean, I'm okay losing a BI or 2 when I get outplayed, just being pretty card dead, or just "normal" variance. But it really starts to take a toll when it just doesn't stop, and just keeps going on and on for like 20k+ hands and several long sessions in a row. Especially after recently getting out a huge downswing I didn't really anticipate or think would actually happen, and regaining my confidence back. And it really sucks when it's the last minute or last 10 minutes of your session.
I don't know. I used to be really passionate about poker. But ever since the first few months, it began to feel more and more like a job, especially as of lately. And it's not social at all, and not really any fun. You're behind a computer screen multitabling 2 Zone 2 cash with no interaction. You are constantly using your brain to figure out the best way to deceive people about your range to take their money, constantly ranging your opponent, making some pretty thin calls and value bets, thinking about what you can rep and what he thinks you have while pulling off a bluff, etc. Good decisions are punished constantly, in addition to every bad or suboptimal decision you make. The money feels like a lot to me for my age, and I think this further amplifies the swings/emotions I experience in poker. Is it possible to find poker intriguing, enjoy it somewhat, and yet hate it at the same time? I'm not saying I entirely hate the game. But sometimes it's hard not to hate it. I don't know... Maybe I should take a break again? I've taken a lot of breaks from poker, long and short ones. They do really help. I feel kind of obligated to play though since I just finished my first year at Uni and am on summer vaction . My summer is the only time I can actually grind everyday if I wanted to. It's a bad feeling though, because I feel like I'm starting to get more and more negative at times...
The grind and its accompanying variance is getting to you. Time for a break, methinks.
When it stops being fun, starts getting frustrating, and starts affecting you, you should quit.
I had a near-7-year break from poker before coming back to it earlier this year. When it stops being fun, the grind starts to become like a job. I quit overnight when this happened to me 7 years ago.
I agree with Timovieman that taking a break might be in your best interest. Seven years, tho, might be too long for you. Even though summer is the only way to play every day for you, maybe take a week off. Completely clear your mind of anything poker - to the best of your ability. Focus on another hobby you love. Meditation is a great way to clear the mind of stress.
If you decide on a break, list out the pros and cons of poker in your life. When you come back to poker a week - or seven years - later, re-write the list. Compare. Does anything change?
When you come back to it, come back with a vengeance. Maybe even drop down in stakes for a while. What's your pre-game routine? Do you meditate? Workout? Do you have a song list to get you pumped up? Do you proactively analyze your game and strive to plug leaks?
Good luck!
When I get bored of online poker, I play live instead. For some reason, I can sit down at a live poker table for 8-10 hours without getting bored, yet I struggle to play online for longer than 3-4 hours before calling it a night and doing something else. I'm not saying I never get bored playing at a live casino, like if I played 8 hours a day for 7 days a week, I'm sure I'd get bored eventually, but in general, I just find that my endurance is a lot better in live poker, since I don't have to concentrate as hard and click buttons every 2 seconds. I can just play with my chips, glance around at other tables, talk to the person next to me, grab a drink, look up stuff on the internet on my phone, etc.
That's why a lot of professional poker players recommend mixing it up between live and online poker. Live poker is great for fun, variety and socialising, whilst online is great for improving your game and countering variance.
re: Poker & Dealing with frustration/emotions in poker?
I've heard live poker is so much better than online. But aren't you card dead often? Or just keep catching second best a lot? That's been happening to me a lot the past few sessions, and I play around 30x+ more hands than live players do.
This is what happens when try to beat cash monster PokerStars. I realized that, when began loose all I won at MTTs at the cash tables.
Obviously, my game was extremely accurate,however it cocouldn't save me from crashed AA against QQ, QQ ahainst AK and so on.
I can't say you, why PS beat me every cash hand I have played...
So now I played only MTT and be cool.
My bankroll used for tournaments only.
I hear ya. Just last night (or early this AM) i was playing a few FR tables at Bovada and an MTT or two. I've gotten decent at online MTTs but have been getting crushed on rivers or outkicked so much lately. And then to boot I got into it with some maniac who was building a massive stack all night mostly off rivered suckouts and trash talking. I FINALLY flop a set of 7s and we're both deep stacked and "this IS it" I'm thinking. We get into re-raising battle on flop, get it all in, guy flopped a set of Aces and wins. All he could say was "I bet you wanted to talk shit so bad thinking you beat me." He was trolling me a bit, I reloaded and got some ok spots but overall left down a few BIs for night. I had to laugh and compliment the hand but sometimes it definitely feels like doom switch bad luck that people spaz shoving get lucky then when you think you've got them crushed they beat you on nearly 100-1 odds of pulling a higher set.
My frustrations aside either take a break or if you're comfortable doing so, go play some live poker. As others said I find it much more fun there's so much to take in, it's slow pace, and for me it just melts away online donk rage. I'm finding that live even though im new to it I can find hero folds pretty easy, pick spots well, and generally feel little pressure to make snap calls or worry about losing to suckouts. Probably due to the slower pace and the fact that I can see the action without some clock ticking down in my face.
I may actually consider just using online for MTTs and live for cash. I'm still a loser overall online cash but a general overall winner online MTTs and live cash. But like you I'm torn, online cash can be lucrative and can get you massive amounts of experience day after day.
Im having similar problems dealing with emotions and frustration and somebody on these forums recommended "The Mental Game of Poker" by Jared Tendler to me, and its just a phenomenal book and I would recommend it to anyone even if they dont play poker. Seriously, check it out!
As far as breaks, Im beginning to think you should have breaks built into your game. I think its probably detrimental to play every single day. maybe limit yourself to 4 or 5 days a week
re: Poker & Dealing with frustration/emotions in poker?
I would tell you the same thing my mentors keep telling me....
One hand at a time.
Things will improve.
Poker is one never ending session.
All we can do is play the hand our best, we can't control the cards, our opponents, or the short term results.
And I was the one who recommended "The Mental Game of Poker" to mbrenneman. Read that shit man. Read it again. And then, if you still are having issues, read it again. That's what I do sometimes.
And I am going through the same thing you are. It is so similar to what I'm going through, I could have wrote it.
Just try and remember the passion you have for the game. This is what led you to this exact moment. Posting on forums, studying HHs, thinking about the game (too much, I'm sure), and if you're like me, daydreaming about the success I (we) will certainly enjoy one day, if we learn the game enough.
Just play the best you can, get through the run bad. It'll be over soon.
When you're running really badly (20 + buy in downswing) it really starts to affect your confidence and your psyche. Sometimes, even booking a 1 or 2 buy in win for the day is a good thing. I know 'stop win' policies are bad (quitting while winning is clearly a bad idea), but sometimes going to bed at night knowing you booked a win can just give you the nudge you need to get over your confidence problems. It's worked for me, at least.
anytime you get upset it only makes things worse. Where poker tilt is concerned, prevention is always better than cure. You'll save yourself a lot of wasted time, squandered money, and unnecessary grief if you can spot the warning signs ahead of time. To do this, you must learn to recognize your triggers – those things in the game that, for whatever reason, are so upsetting and offensive to you that they have the power to put you on tilt.
Tilt triggers generally fall into one of two categories: things that happen within the game itself, and external factors that are technically not part of a poker game, but which make you more vulnerable to tilt.
If once every 5k hands you spew off 1 BI you didn't have to lose toward the end of a bad session, you lose 2bb/100 from your winrate. In lots of games that's way too big of an edge to lose. If you tilt and spew off an additional 2-3 buyins once every 20k hands when running super bad, you can basically erase your entire winrate. It's actually pretty sick how low the margin for error is.

We really enjoyed our stay at N Street Condos. Could walk over to City Place and the city park was just down the block. The condos were clean & well kept - check-in is a breeze - enter the door code - you're In. The other guests were friendly and parking was sufficient. We plan on coming back next year and look forward to it. The washer/dryer and full kitchen makes vacation life a lot easier.
Ted was amazing to work with! More than helpful & super responsive. The place was perfect. Lovely, clean, & seriously had everything one could need to feel like they were in their own home from cooking/baking utensils to cleaning products, from beach chairs & coolers to a washer & dryer. I would highly recommend this place to anyone, and wouldn't imagine staying elsewhere when/if I stay in the area again. Thank you, Ted!
My first experience with VRBO in Florida but I was very impressed. Ted was more than helpful and understanding. The property felt like home for the 9+ days that we stayed there. Will definitely recommend this manager and property to everyone!
This was our first Florida adventure. I was a little leary about booking something sight unseen and giving out personal info, but Ted was very patient with me and answered all my questions & concerns in a timely manner. The fact that he allowed dogs was a big plus and the surrounding parks and fields were great. The condo pics were exactly as pictured, but I would probably ask for a two bedroom next time, for a little more space and being on the first floor with the dogs was also very convenient.
City Place was okay, but for more "flavor" we liked the Clematis St. area for great dining & entertainment. We found Grease, a hamburger bar which was wonderful and had excellent service. There were a number of great restaurants & shops to choose from, but after an afternoon at the Roger Dean stadium, which was about 15 mins. From the condo, we would hit A1A and eat at the Dirty Dog for great fish & chips. Ft. Lauderdale was about 45 mins away and not far to travel if you wanted to see Bob Seeger! The Kravis Center was within walking distance and we had a lovely night enjoying the music of Audra McDonald. Concerts & attractions are all over the area and very easy to get to.
We also met some very nice people at the condo and the gentleman that maintained the units, couldn't have been nicer. Needless to say, we had a very positive experience.
This one bedroom condo made a perfect home base for our Florida Vacation. The condo is in a historic area,and appears to have recently been refurbished. The neighborhood is charming, with a park nearby for walking, ect. The pictures of the condo are accurate. Just 3 miles away is an entertainment district "City Place" with restaurants, shops, and free concerts on weekends. There we enjoyed a good tasting and reasonably priced meal at "City Pizza". I especially enjoyed the Chef Salad. For activities we: attended 2 spring training baseball games, toured the Flagler home, toured the Jupiter Lighthouse, attended an antique car show, and took a Diva Duck tour. While in Jupiter we ate at "The Lazy Loggerhead Cafe". It is in a park setting,near the beach, only open breakfast and lunch. Our waitress Lori was fabulous. There I had ginger chicken salad, and noticed they had a variety on menu. After one of the ballgames we ate at "Leftovers" in Jupiter. Sweet potato crusted salmon was so good, it just melted in my mouth. We were in Florida in March,so not swimming weather, but we did go just 4 miles to the beach for a walk, and took a longer drive down the coast on A1A hwy. Ted the property manager was easy to deal with. He set up payment per email & a phone call, then emailed me a door code prior to our arrival. I would rent this place again and recommend to friends.
A wonderful surprise! I stayed the month of Dec. and could not be happier with this selection! The location which is in an historic, private, very quiet, safe residential neighborhood is fantastic for walking to City Place, great restaurants and museums. The beach is literally a 5 min. scenic drive away. My unit had a lovely view of a park with dozens of gorgeous old Banyan trees that are right out the front door! Both the unit and the surroundings had that "old Florida" feel to it. Charming! The time I had here exploring was good for my soul, easy on my pocketbook and it was especially terrific to have my little animals with me. I also want to mention that the other guests I met during my stay were all lovely, interesting folks and from all over the country. I would have stayed longer if there had been availability. I would come back in a heartbeat! Thank you!

I've got a 1033 Lionel 90 watt transformer that I use for lights/accessories. Its been working great for several months. Last weekend, however, after running my trains for several hours I noticed that this transformer was overheating; So much so, in fact, that at one point I went to touch it and it was so hot that the red handle was starting to melt. I replaced the unit with a type V 150 watt transformer for the 1950's and that helped. But I let the type V run for several hours and, though it did not overheat, the lights began to flicker on occasion as if there was something going on over time.
Questions: 1.) Was I running too many watts off of this transformer -- the 1033? 2.) Are these transformers supposed to have shut off circuits when they overheat? If not can you install one? Are they all this dangerous? My obvious concern is, if I fell asleep in my train room or forgot to turn off the transformer, couldn't it cause a fire? I like the look and performance of these old classics, but I'm concerned about safety.
