Contraception & PregnancyAsk Dinah your question
I'm a mother of baby boy of a few months old. The other day I had sex with my husband and we did it the doggy style. he cums inside me, but after that i washed it and clean inside me by using water. Can I be pregnant? I want to know the percentage if i can conceive by that sex. Because my ob-gyne told me to be pregnant after 5 years because my body can't bare the pain when i deliver my baby. I had a c-section.
Dinah answers: Not only is Doggy-style a possible way to get pregnant, but of all the positions, it is possibly the best way: when he enters you in this position, it allows him to enter deeply, which is good for weaker sperm (and makes little difference for strong sperm). Washing after sex makes no difference, except for the possibility of causing irritation. If you do not want to get pregnant again, you need to be more responsible and use effective post-natal contraception.
I was inspired to write to you as I was reading your question pages. Nothing seems to be similar to me. I am 28 years old woman and my boyfriend is 31 years old. We are going to get married in 3 months time. I am still a virgin. I believe in romance, masturbation and oral sex, but when it comes to the penetration part, its always something to think about my future. I don't want to be rushing into it and get pregnant before marriage and I want to do that only once i'm married because i believed that you can peacefully make love without any worries in mind after marriage. My boyfriend and I have a mutual thinking and understanding on that too, which was a blessing. 2 days ago, he came to the house and we were kissing, hugging and massaging each other. I was literally naked except panties on me and he was totally naked without any. When we were kissing, I started to touch his penis and my boyfriend has pre-mature ejaculation. So my hand was a lil bit wet and it dried and i continue touching his penis. After a while, i was on top of him, kissing and he was on top of me, kissing, caressing, and both of us were humping, then i realized that his pre-cum came and spilled on my panties surface. After that he stimulated my clitoris for me for a while too. I didn't bother to change my panties because what i know all this while was that pre-cum doesn't have sperm in it and moreover its only on my panties surface which will not cause me to become pregnant. Then finally we slept. The next day, out of curiosity i tried to search in Google about pre-cum facts and all, and most of the research articles and blogs that i read mentioned that there's no confirmed proof that pre-cum does or doesn't have sperm, and it seems to be that even if the pre-cum spills on the panties surface, chances of getting pregnant is high too. I find it weird because I am still a virgin even if my bf's hands was lil bit wet with his pre-cum before he fingers me, he only stimulated my clitoris, and it doesn't goes to my vagina. I am confused now, whether or not i will become pregnant because of this silly things. I am under medication too due to hormonal imbalance and was suspected PCOS, and my gynae asked me to take progesterone hormone tablets (provera) until i lose certain weight and menstruation cycle comes back as normal. And the day this incident happened was the 2nd day after my period ends. I am so confused and worried after reading those articles. I badly need your advice on this 2 questions too: 1) I just want to know even if both of us undress and humping to each other, but we didn't penetrate, are there possibilities for me to become pregnant just because of the pre-cum? 2) We are planning for honeymoon post-marriage, if i am under medication and my period comes between 25th-30th of the month, and i will start taking my hormone tablet from the 1st of every month for 14 days (each month), when is the best time to make love and not get pregnant during honey moon? We are not planning safe sex.
Dinah answers: Pre-cum may or may not contain sperm. If a guy has masturbated recently and has not urinated, then there will be some semen in his urethra. If he has urinated, this would have cleared out the semen. If you are not sure, it is best to play safe and consider the pre-cum to be risky. Generally speaking, wearing panties will prevent sperm from reaching you, but if there is a large amount of ejaculate, the panties may not be enough of a barrier. I would say that pre-cum could not wet the panties enough to soak your vulva area and allow the sperm to travel. Panties in this case will be a good safety net. However, if you touched him and then touched your vulva (or if he did it) you can transport live sperm in the cum or pre-cum is not yet dried. From what you described, you appear to be safe, but there are a lot of conditions. In short, next time if you want to stay safe and worry free, no exchange of body fluids – pre-cum, vaginal lubrication or ejaculate. Regarding your honeymoon, I hear your romantic idea of having totally unrestrained sex, but the safest thing to do is to plan contraception. The pill can allow you to stabilize your period so you'll know exactly when it should arrive, if you start taking the pill at least a month before (and plan it to your dates). Condoms are also effective and don't demand preparation or long-term commitment. If you are adverse to contraception, for some reason, take into consideration that with the stress leading up to your wedding, there is a real chance that your period could be delayed or behave erratically. I'd suggest you avoid this extra hassle and the worry about getting pregnant too soon, especially when you've been waiting to have worry-free sex for so long.
My boyfriend and I just had sex. I'm not a virgin but he was and he had no idea what he was doing. We're only teens and I asked him if he had came inside me and he said he didn't think so. Do virgin guys normally ejaculate the "first time"? And we'll I'm kinda scared that I might get pregnant. I'm not in my ovulation days and I didn't feel him ejaculate. Is there a risk I can get pregnant? I didn't see this anywhere else and this is very important to me.
Dinah answers: Yes you are at risk. Virgins can ejaculate, after all, virgins ejaculate during masturbation all the time. As far as feeling him ejaculate, only a particularly sensitive women with a certain amount of experience will actually feel the ejaculation happening. Most women don't really know when he ejaculates by the internal feeling, they know because of his moaning and muscle relaxation. You need to wait until the expected date of your next period and then take a home pregnancy test. Next time, please don't take chances having sex without contraception and STD protection.
I masturbated before fingering my gf. But the semen dried on my hand. Will it cause pregnancy? My gf is in the safe period.
Dinah answers: If the ejaculate was totally dry when you touched her, you and she are safe. If you have correctly calculated her safe days, then you really have nothing to worry about. To be safe in all future cases, always wash your hands with soap between masturbating and touching her vaginal area.
I have been on depo provera for a few years. Earlier this year I started dating a new partner and a few months later we had unprotected sex (first and only time). It has been one week since that encounter but I am now experiencing cramps like a period (and I hadn't had a menstrual cycle since I started depo) and a brown slimy discharge with no smell. Could I be pregnant and is it ok to have sex?
Dinah answers: You should go get a check up about the cramps and discharge. It may be nothing, but since it is something you haven't had since starting to take depo, its worth seeing to. There is no problem to continue having sex. Actually, it can help with the cramps, especially if it brings you to orgasm! Of course, make sure to make it protected sex every time, until you know whats going on.
If you were touching your boyfriend over this boxerbriefs, in essense like groping him and there were two very small wet spots on them from his precum, then with the same hand you rubbed yourself over your panties to make yourself cum, no insertion of the fingers, just rubbing over the panties. I've been wondering, curious, and concerned. Thank you.
Dinah answers: You shouldn't be concerned; as long as you both keep your underwear on, you are usually safe. Small amounts of liquid cannot pass through two layers of material and remain active. In future, if there is a full ejaculation you should mind not to let any wetness come in contact with your genital area. Otherwise, messing around with your underwear on is a fun and safe way to enjoy sexual play.
me and my girlfriend had sex yesterday, and about five minutes after we finished we went for a second round. I did not wash my hands after I took the first condom off and before I put a second one on. Is it possible for her to get pregnant?
Dinah answers: If you removed and replaced the condoms properly, there is no reason to worry. The risk lies in touching the semen and then touching the outside of the new condom. Although it is theoretically possible to transfer live semen this way, the chances of it happening are tiny because semen dries in minutes, and even less if it is not left in big pools or if it is warm in the room. Well done for behaving responsibility. Just keep in mind next time that if you have any doubt about having touched semen or pre-cum, wash your hands and dry them well.
My boyfriend and I were preparing to have sex last night. I got on all fours and he entered me. I didn't realize that he did not have a condom on. About a minute later, the phone rang so he exited me and I answered the phone. When I got on all fours again to continue I happened to glance over my shoulder and see that he was unprotected, so I told him to put a condom on and we proceeded to have sex a number of times that night using a clean condom after each episode. However, still panicked from the unprotected instance, I took Plan B four hours after that instance. My period ended nine days ago. Will I become pregnant? I am terrified.
Dinah answers: You acted very responsibly after discovering that your boyfriend had been so irresponsible. By the way, I hope that you will talk to him about this, so that you know that you can trust him without having to check up. Taking Plan B, and doing it so efficiently (it is most effective in the 12 hours after the act), offers you the best protection under the circumstances. Considering that he did not actually ejaculate inside you and that you then used Emergency Contraception, the risk is reduced to negligible. You may find that your period is a bit delayed due to stress, so try to comfort yourself and relax. You have managed this situation optimally!
If I am on Birth Control, and generally take it on time (sometimes an hour or two off) and I have unprotected sex with a guy a few times in a day, if he cums inside me and I don't even attempt to get it out, what are the chances of getting pregnant?
Dinah answers: Taking the pill within an hour or two of the same hour each day is considered excellent contraceptive coverage. When taken perfectly the pill is 99.7% effective so you can feel secure, this means only 3 women out of 1,000 who use the pill for a full year will get pregnant anyway. If your guy ejaculates inside you, there is no use in trying to wash it out, you cannot reduce the chances of pregnancy this way, all you can do is increase the chances of infection in the area, so please, don't bother.
I am a virgin (so is my boyfriend) we try not to be too sexual with each other but one night we found our pants off, rubbin' uglies, but he was never inside me. After enjoying myself, i realized that i felt pre-cum or just straight out semen on me... how would i know, i've never had sex, never got near that point! so we were rubbing and there was liquids shared. I ran away and tried to clean myself off but i just used water, not knowing that sperm needs to just be wet to live... my real question is: If i have never had sex before is it possible to get pregnant? Does sex have to happen to tare open the vagina more for semen to go in fertilize or not?
Dinah answers: Yes, yes, yes! I have personally met a young couple who got pregnant in this situation. It is rare but definitely possible. The vagina does not have to be torn open by sex, it is naturally open and all that semen needs to enter is a trail of vaginal fluid (cervical mucus) which is produced when you get excited. By the way, washing yourself is not necessarily helping the semen by keeping it wet. Nor is it hurting the process. The semen that find their way in can manage without your help, nature takes care of the process. Washing yourself after sex, especially if you wash internally, can just cause scratches inside, which increase your chances of catching an STD, if you are exposed.
I had sex with my boyfriend. I may have been close to ovulation at the time because my CM was very creamy, and 2 days after intercourse, my CM was clear and like raw egg white. He wore one of those spermicide condoms. the thing is, before he had put on the condom, he had already inserted himself about 3 times, then he pulled out, removed the condom and ejaculated away from my vaginal opening. once he was done ejaculating, he inserted his condomless penis into me for one last thrust before he lost his stiffness. Would the spermicide from the condom be enough to coat the vaginal wall and protect against any sperm-tainted pre-cum or any remnants left on his tip after ejaculation?
Dinah answers: No! You seem to know so much about fertility and yet you don't understand the basics. There is a reason that people are instructed to use condoms from start to finish. You don't get credit for using a condom most of the time. I would even say that inserting a penis after ejaculation is as effective as not having used a condom at all.
I want to consult you after I had anal sex with my girl friend, I pulled out before ejaculation, and during the process I always make sure that I doing anal instead of vaginal. After that I was fingering her, then again anal sex. What I am worrying is, is it possible that she can get pregnant, even if I pulled out before ejaculation, and there might be small amount fluid (pre-cum) around her anal area during 1st and 2nd times of anal sex?
Dinah answers: Theoretically anal sex is safe to prevent pregnancy (but not STDs). However, as you are aware, the anal opening and the vaginal area are very close and any liquid that spills during sex, either semen or pre-cum, can land up traveling, especially if she is aroused and has a lot of lubrication from her vagina. The safest way to have anal sex, to avoid both pregnancy and STDs, and also to keep things cleaner, especially if you want to ejaculate inside, is to use a condom. It is important to have lots of lubrication at the start of the penetration and may be also to add in the middle if you find it dries up. Unlike the vagina, which produces lubrication when a woman gets aroused, the anus does not become wet on its own, so you need help to improve the feeling and to prevent the condom from tearing.
i had oral sex with a girl, and she is now pregnant and claiming it is mine. i did not ejaculate in her. Her best friend told me she inserted it in herself afterwards is that possible she could have got pregnant that way. i dont know if I should tell my girlfriend or not so please help me. i need to know if it could be mine.
Dinah answers: There is no use in getting into the theoretical possibilities of transferring semen like this. It is enough to say that under all the right conditions it might work, if she moved fast and was very fertile, but this is too important a matter to do guesswork. You need to speak to her directly and try to understand if she has any claims and if you are the only person that this could possibly be. If she does believe that it is yours and if you are interested in pursuing this, you should take a paternity test. It can be done before the birth, if she does one of two tests (amniocentesis or CVS) which test the amniotic fluid. If she is young and doesn't plan on doing these tests, which test for down syndrome, or she has missed the opportunity, you can have the test done at the time of birth when the placenta can be sampled and sent for testing. Of course you can always take a blood sample from the baby at any later point too. Since this is a long-term business, you may want to be honest with your girlfriend and let her know how you feel about it and what you plan to do about it. I wouldn't recommend sneaking behind her back, since so many people already seem to be involved. You'll want the support of a close partner during this process.
Is it 100% sure that using condoms can prevent pregnancy? thanks!
Dinah answers: No, condoms are not completely safe for protection against unplanned pregnancy. If they are used perfectly they are 98% safe, meaning that 2% of women who use them for a full year will get pregnant sometime during the year. Unfortunately a lot of condom users don't use them faultlessly. Research shows that typical condom use is only 85% safe. This is still pretty safe for each single time that it is used, but you can take the odds up considerably by practicing before using, using the right lubricant if necessary, learning to roll it on while squeezing the air from the nipple and removing it quickly and carefully. Please check out the contraceptive efficiency chart to get a better picture of condom and other contraceptive safety.

Need help NOW! In major major trouble...
Im 300 miles from home, my jeeps ****ED and im looking at over 1000$ no matter what i do to fix it or get it home. I got in it and it wouldnt start. It wouldnt turn over, wouldnt try to turn over, wouldnt even make a noise. I assume battery... jump it. NOTHING. AAA comes out, trying 10 different things, nothing. When you turn the key to start everything comes on like its gonna start but it wont. It dosnt even make noise. I make sure the key fobs were ok. I tried everything i possibly could. My options are stay here and take it to a shop and pay out the ass to have it fixed, and its gonna be a few days, i called everywhere, so im gonna have to pay for a hotel for more nights to stay till its fixed. Other option is tow it home which is looking like a better option, they say they will flat rate it for me instead of 4 miles a gallon.
HELP ME guys please for the love of god, anything is better then nothing right now. Im not happy...
Re: Need help NOW! In major major trouble...
Shit man...I know mine has had "gremlins" in the electrical system before (shut off on the freeway doing 80mph) so I know they can be temperamental. Do u have any aftermarket electrical? Stereo? Hids? Are the grounds good? Did u test the battery? What else did AAA do? Sorry man, hang in there
Re: Need help NOW! In major major trouble...
Nothing after market besides my satelite radio. He took off and cleaned the terminals, tried getting a code outta the thing, tried to see if the starter was jammed. Nothing. Im so ****ed.
Re: Need help NOW! In major major trouble...
2005 GC lorado. 76,000 miles.
Re: Need help NOW! In major major trouble...
When you turn the key to ON do any of the warning lights come on? If not, Your ignition switch could have went!
Re: Need help NOW! In major major trouble...
I dont even remember. Possibly the battery light? Not sure, i was in a fit of rage, said some not nice things to the car haha. I am gonna go back in the am and i will get a video for you guys. ON TOP OF IT im gonna get a 20$ parking ticket for it being stuck where it is, just an extra kick in the balls
Re: Need help NOW! In major major trouble...
Even if its the battery i dont know why it wouldnt even attempt to start with jump starts, AAA's help, cleaning the terminals... nothing. Im gonna try and sleep, leave anything you can think of ill be up early to check, my girls parents are gonna come down and try and help. Ill let you guys know in the am. THANK YOU
Re: Need help NOW! In major major trouble...
Main ground gone bad?
Re: Need help NOW! In major major trouble...
Since it is an 05 have you replaced the battery? They last about 5-6yrs then without warning it will die and it will be dead even with a jump as the battery your trying to jump it with probably doesn't have enough CCA's to turn the engine over. Plus all the electronics will not function properly with out their necessary voltage.
Find out if any of the lights come on when your turn the key to the on position or if it's completely dead. Check all fuses also.
Start with the easy stuff and go from there.
Re: Need help NOW! In major major trouble...
I would assume its a relay gone bad or one of major fuses.. Alternator could have gone bad also. When a alternator goes the car will still run until it drains battery completely.
Re: Need help NOW! In major major trouble...
Could be the starter right? Do the 4.7's have the same starter issues the 5.7's have? Right after buying mine (used) i went to start it and nothing happened, no click click or anything; so i assumed the battery and left it for the day. I get home that night and try it just for fun and it starts right up. It did this a couple times until i replaced the starter. The starter was pretty cheap at $70. The install wasnt too bad, but doing it on the road could be difficult.
Give it a shot in the morning and hopefully she'll start right up, fingers crossed for ya man! btw, where are you stranded? Maybe a friendly local WK'er is right around the corner from ya
Re: Need help NOW! In major major trouble...
I doubt it's going to cost you anywhere near $1000.
Calm down, get a mechanic to check it out.

Getting the Bearings
Over a decade ago, I was a Radio Rookie myself. A lot has happened since then -- high school, college, and various jobs -- but I recently found myself drawn back to radio as an intern. Throughout the last few months, I have had the opportunity to help lead the Short Wave multimedia workshop, an after school program held in two high schools in lower Manhattan.
Having been a Rookie before, I had a general sense of what the program would be like, but in the years since my experience, I'd forgotten the details and also how it felt to go through the process. As I watched the students progress through the different stages of the program, I wanted to get a better sense of the challenges and rewards of the programs from the Rookies themselves, so I set out to conduct some interviews of my own.

Start your engines and race with Mario and his friends with their finely tuned racing machines in Mario Kart Wii. Use 3 different control styles with the Wii Wheel included in the box.

This module will give you the knowledge and skills to work as a surgical first assistant, providing non interventional assistance to surgeons during operations and delivering safe care to patients. It's a structured and programme, based on the national guidance developed by the Perioperative Care Collaborative (PCC, 2012).
Our Surgical First Assistant level 6 module allows you, as a registered nurse or operating department practitioner, to participate in assisting surgeons during operations.
We anticipate that you'll have two years' post-registration operating theatre experience and be able to demonstrate current experience in the scrub role. This is to ensure that you come to the module with a good understanding of the role of a surgical first assistant.
As a surgical first assistant, you'll be expected to have the same level of knowledge, skills and expertise as that of the medical practitioner you are replacing; you would be judged against this if a patient made a claim. This module will equip you to practice at the appropriate level.
Once you've completed the course, you'll be in a position to make sure this role is used appropriately in your organisation, reducing the risk to patients and staff and improving safety.
Do you see something that is not right in this course? Let us know if there are any mistakes and you will help users like yourself.

Have you done any lymphatic drainage? I just had medial thigh lift in Brazil. Due to anemia, I couldn't have any other procedure with it. There are massage techniques you can use on the scars to help break down the tissues and soften up... READ COMMENT

Elizabeth and Jeremy's Wedding
"As soon as we walked in Men's wearhouse and showed the sales associate our color swatch from the bridesmaid's dresses she instantly knew the color and showed us the matching tuxes. I was nervous about coming up with a look but she showed me all the options and made it easy! My husband even got excited about it. When it came to returning the tuxes they were very flexible. It was a great and easy experience."

"Ordered tuxedo's in 2 States-California & Kansas. Only issue was with 1 Top Hat; hat wasn't there and then was given a hat that was too small. Had tuxes w/tails, top hats, gloves & canes-perfect look for Movie Theme wedding. Entered Reception to Puttin' On the Ritz :)"

The government of Pakistan is angry at what it terms an American incursion within its territory that resulted in the death of 20 civilians including women and children. The attack occurred in a remote South Waziristan village. Pakistan officials claim three helicopter gunships and commandos were involved in a pre-dawn attack on a house in the village. Witnesses said troops entered the house of a local tribesman, opened fire, and threw a bomb into the house. Pakistan military officials said they had the right to retaliate against those who conducted the operation. Prime Minister Gilani termed the attack "cowardly" and "outrageous" and expressed his anger that US forces were conducting military operations within his nation without authorization of the Pakistan government.
There is no doubt Taliban and al-Qaeda forces operate within Pakistan territory. The issue that has yet to be adequately addressed is how best to deal with this situation. American military leaders want action, Pakistan government officials want to use negotiation. Until that difference is bridged this will not be an isolated incident.

Peanuts a Golden Celebration the Art and S (1999)
by Charles Schulz
Work details
Peanuts: A Golden Celebration: The Art and the Story of the World's Best-Loved Comic Strip by Charles M. Schulz (1999)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A great look at 50 years of the Peanuts gang. Nice stories about some of the issues covered. A book that any fan of Peanuts should have in their collection.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0062702440, Hardcover)Charles M. Schulz has been cartooning for an astonishing 50 years (the "Peanuts" strip itself debuted October 2, 1950, but he drew an earlier incarnation called "Li'l Folks" before that). Peanuts: A Golden Celebration is a remarkable collection of strips spanning that time period. Readers get to see the first appearance of Linus, Marcy, Pigpen, and Woodstock, and even the momentous first time Lucy holds a football for Charlie Brown to kick. Schulz comments on the cartoons and his inspirations via notes in the margin, ranging from boyhood stories about his father (a barber, just like Charlie Brown's) to an account of the time the narcolepsy experts at Stanford University expressed concerns over Peppermint Patty's constant sleeping in class. One of the most interesting inclusions is that of several letters of complaint, ranging from readers whose religious sensibilities have been offended to a 1969 missive from Schulz's own syndicate asking him not to depict Franklin in the same school as the white students anymore. Naturally, the much-loved "Peanuts" holiday specials are covered, as is the musical adaptation You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, but it's the strips that really make the book. Readers can follow the evolution of Schulz's drawing style--deliberately less realistic as the years went on--and even check out a few panels drawn by Schulz's own cartooning heroes. This is a terrific compilation that serves well both as a chronicle of popular culture and as just a really funny collection of comic strips. Don't wait for the Great Pumpkin to bring you one. --Ali Davis
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:22:23 -0400)
This book honors the art of the author & lets readers relive the life & times of the most beloved - & the most widely syndicated - comic strip in history, from its infancy in 1950 right through glorious middle age. Watch as your favorite characters grow into their most popular incarnations - Charlie Brown as tenacious baseball manager; Lucy as psychiatrist; Snoopy as Flying Ace; Linus as acolyte of the Great Pumpkin. One hundred ninety-two pages of two-color strips & 64 pages of four-color Sunday strips (more than 1,000 strips in all) & photographs are rounded out by Schulz's own comments (offering rare insight into the mind behind the mayhem). Annotation. Will Charlie Brown ever get to kick the footballs? Will Schroeder finally return Lucy's love? Will Linus give up his security blanket? Will Peppermint Party ever pass a test? And, most importantly will Snoopy--that canine literary ace--ever be published? "To take a blank piece of paper and draw characters that people love and worry about is extremely satisfying. It really does not matter what you are called or where your work is placed as long as it brings some kind of joy to some person some place."… (more)

How do you keep it new and fun?
I probably shouldn't air this on the forum, but I think Im burned out. Ive been building rod my whole life. When I was young it was all so big and cool, and exciting. Im my middle years the hobby turned into a job. Still fun, creative, and a little ego satisfying, an honest days pay for a awesome day of work.
It seems like lately, I get done with a day of making other people happy with their cool cars, and I have little or no interest in going to the shop to get my stuff done. For the first time in my life the rods are leaving me flat. I always remember hearing that you never want to buy a mechanics car. Now its starting to make since. Its to the point where I don't even want to look at old cars, much less go to the local rod night and mingle. Has anybody else hit the wall? How did you get the juices flowing again. Ive got three personal projects going right now and I don't even want to look at them. Any advice would be a huge help. If a pm would be more appropriate please feel free. Maybe this is normal? I don't really have anybody to bounce this off of that could possably understand, after all, whats could be any better than building rods? right.
take a little fishing trip...........then back to the hotrods....sounds like you just need a break.
i agree, take a vacation at least from your own stuff for a while enjoy the nice summer weather and in the fall you should feel better about getting on with your projects as we turn to more indoor things as the weather cools off.!!
Alright Mr. Twister, I have alot to say on this subject and expect a PM from me later. I could list 500 jobs here that are to me and probably you too, totally boring!!! I've done a few of them. For now, sit down with a legal pad and write down all the things you like about what you're doing. Then list what you don't like. I'm pretty sure you'll find in the "con" column, only one or two things. Repetition, no appreciation, etc.
Everything gets somewhat boring after awhile. Step back. Maybe you do need a change but I think you just need a different perspective. JMHO. I'm not you but I'm pretty sure you could do something else and would find very quickly, that you're most happy doing what you are doing now. Then again, it might be time for something totally different.
I guess what I'm saying here.........finally.........is when you look for what you like, it shows up, and when you look at what you don't like, that is what shows up. Hang in there bubbaloo, things will work themselves out.
Later, JD
Yeh, You guys are right, I need a vacation. I just got the ole KTM LC4 out and aired it out around the neighborhood. Nothing like a quick bike ride to clear things up. I relized I havnt had a real vacation in years. I think a dual sport ride to San Quintin Mexico is in order. Cheverolet 4X4 hit the nail on the head, The fishing is unbeliveable down there. Thanks guys I really appreciate it!!! Oh, and its just an awesome night here in San Diego for a motorcycle ride. thanks again. Bob

I`ve certainly experienced burn out and lost interest in my projects. Like tonight I went to see a friend who has a rod, hadn`t seen him in a while, He had recently added a new carb to it, and he don`t know how to tune it, the car wouldn`t idle, so I had it done in a few minutes and he said to his wife. "See there, he always knows what to do and how to fix it, he`s the man around here, hot rods like him" and I said "yeah they do, unless it`s mine, I can work on anybody else`s and not run into any issues, I work on mine it does nothing but give me endless problems for no apparent reason and it makes me lose interest, because it keeps me pi**ed off cause I don`t enjoy it if all I do is work on it"
The last build I did was one such disaster. I built a Vortec 350, complete with comp hydraulic roller cam, vortec heads, jet hot coated headers, I sunk some money into it. When I took the block to my machinist and he checked the bore, he said ".001, it`s in good shape and will easily take a hone without problems" I said fine. However, trusting to his work, I didn`t check the bores when I got it back, I checked the crank clearences, but not the bore clearance as at the time I didn`t have a inside micrometer. I assembled it, making sure all was going smooth. We fired it up and it ran great, except it sounded like a diesel, when it got up to temp it got slightly quieter, worst piston slap I`ve ever heard. after about 6000 miles it went to smoking like no tomorrow, pulled it out, checked the bores, .009, some higher none lower, I just shook my head. I never said anything to my machinist, I just let it go and said forget it. My everyday driver which is a pickup with a 4.3 V6 was getting tired, so I rebuilt it without issue, it runs like a champ.
My back is out right now, so this is my break. Until I get operated on, I won`t be doing much. I have another project in the works, and when I`m able I`ll dive into it, but if something goes wrong it will be the last one I build for performance. As I can`t see pouring cash into something and getting nothing but headaches in return. It`s still a mystery to me to this day how the h*ll the bores ended up at .009. he had to have honed it like no tomorrow to get that far.
[QUOTE=DoubleVision]I`ve certainly experienced burn out and lost interest in my projects.
I guess when I stand back and really look at it, Its all good. I dont have motor problems anymore. I buy crate packages now, they come with headers, computers, and dyno time. I let those guys deal with standing behind their work. I guess I was in one of those "wo me moods". Iv already called a couple of my buds and we are going to do a warm up ride this weekend, then hit mexico for 4 or 5 days in a couple of weeks. That should put everything back into its right perspective. You need to chill, and take care of that back. Been there done that. Hang loose, and thanks for the post. Bob
I have to have more than 1 hobby.
I love car painting but I burn out after the summer season, then
I do something different for a while.
For me it's woodworking, I have a wood shop and build furniture in
the winter. By the end of winter, I'm burned out on that and get
back into the car work with warmer weather.
I just can't stay interested in only one thing all the time,
I need other interests. I also fish a lot.
But do other things, don't let one thing consume your life.
I follow jcclark's route; never met a hobby I didn't like. However, building cars is still as much fun as it was 40 years ago. The ways I keep it intersting are;
1) DON'T buy pre-made stuff. Look at a challenging part and either fab it yourself or go to the junk yard and find something you can convert to solve your problem.
2) Attack each step of the build as a separate project. I come to motor mounts and that is the only thing I think about until it is done. It is amazing how interesting a seemingly unimportant pieces like that can be if you obsess about it for a few days. Keep doing that and all of a sudden the car is done before you know it and I had a blast building it!
3) Keep challenging yourself with other projects that keep you from your true love of wrenching. Spend a week painting your house or building the wife a cabinet for the wash room or re-roofing your house or redoing the back yard landscape and you will be yearning to get back to the grease pit.
After vacation, it will all still be the same when you get back The time away from the shop may give some clearing in your head as to what your problem is.
I noticed a month ago, you wanted to sell off tons of parts, etc. So, I think you are going through whatever is bugging me. Too many project cars, plus saving tons of stuff for future use.
I think some of us in our age group feel burdened by "un-finished" possesions. Everytime I see a part that I saved for a project, I now realize I may not ever finish it, and trip over all the stuff which makes it hard to work. And if you've got 3 projects started, that's overwhelming.
I'm selling off & scrapping what I can, to focus on just one, I hope, a body style I've wanted for 35 years. And it's all your fault, Metal Twister! You put up those pics of the 32 Ply coupe turned convertible! You really pulled that one off in style! So, I bought a junk 32 topless 5window Ford; and I now see I need to downsize and get rid of most everything else.
I just found out last week that I now have full custody of my 15 yr old son instead of 5 days per week. Now I need to move back to a town that will enable him to stay in his school. So, maybe being forced to move, will force me to get rid of 35 years of "I'd better save this" type parts & projects.
I'm sorting iron today for a scrap run; and tossing a few pieces in the "sell on ebay pile". Ebay is really getting the big stuff & cars gone so far!, plus the $ goes to the money pit 32 It feels good to watch it go away.
I don't think you will ever be happy without a piece of metal in your hands that needs some "metal twisting". Take a trip, sort it out, and make some changes.
Thanks FJ, I have come to respect yours, and others opinions here.From this brief post I must say, You've earned my respect, You are doing the right thing by your son. Maybe you can get him involved with the rods like I did a few years back. I still think Its the best thing Ive ever did for him, and me for that matter. The Plymouth is coming back to the shop in a week or two to finish up the fine tunning on the bows. Then to upholstery for new top and to the paint booth for a shinny new coat. Ill be wetting your appitite with a pic now and then. Thanks FJ. for the kind words of encouragement, You need to let me know what I can do for you? Hang in there, I guess this is what life is all about.lol It seems at 51 I would have had it all figured out years ago!!! thanks again.
I may be qualified to say that I know exactly how you feel.
Not many here are in the same boat as metal twister. Turn your hobby into a job and it won't be a hobby anymore.
I have been working on cars and motorcycles since I was 14..(earlier than that really, but I built my first 4 stroke dirtbike motor that ran after I was finished with it at 14..)
I quit my regular job of 12 years building fiberglass rod bodies 10 years ago to open my own street rod shop. I call it automotive fabrication, because I do make many of the parts that I use on cars. I can't really build eveything....my customers would never pay for it.
Willys can afford to do it like that , he has a regular job.
The shop is still open, it is my only source of income, and I get to work on all kinds of cool stuff. (right now in my shop there is a 56 chevy waiting to get a full Jim Meyer front and rear suspension and an original 32 ford 5 window coupe frame that I have been working on. My customer is bringing his original steel body down in the next few weeks so I can continue doing my stuff on it..
I just finished all of my part on a stretched 33 ford roadster pickup and it's in the paintshop. )
Meanwhile my 69 mustang hasn't run in 18 years, my wifes 70 mustang covertible is sitting in the middle of the shop with it's motor next to it on a stand, unassembled , and my 37 sedan has not even had the rat crap cleaned out of it since I picked it up last year. My xr500r is in the loft along with our other dirtbikes.
My blazer runs good and I just put a granny low four speed and a new set of rear leafs in my Old Yeller truck...( that made me feel good )
But still, I get done with trying to scratch a living out of this place working on other people's cool stuff and the last thing I want to do is pick up a wrench.
I don't really want to go riding because if I get hurt then the movie is over.
I take my old shovel out for a ride every week or so, but it doesn't feel like it used to.
I hope that someday I too can enjoy the hobby like I used to.
Lately I have been working on my house, but it doesn't seem to do it like gas powered stuff.
I too have been trying to figure out how to get the joy out of my stuff again. I guess it needs to come from within.
I like coming on the BB because I think it makes me feel good to help someone who does enjoy the hobby.
(that and rooting out trolls for a bashing is always fun)
Like F&J is doing, I have been thinking though that I might ditch all of the crap that has been following me around like a ball and chain and make room for what I really want to do. that would be like a big dose of Viagra.
But at this point I don't do it because I know I won't have time for it either and I'll get discouraged again.
I'd sell the shop and take a job at wally world as a greeter or something but I don't think I will ever make someone a good employee again.. I've developed too many bad habits.
That's my sad song, in 100 years no one will care.
Later, mikey
my signature lines...not really directed at anyone in particular..
BE different....ACT normal.
No one is completely useless..They can always be used as a bad example

Boy Mike, after I read your post, I thought I wrote it. Guess in a weird sort of way its good to know that Im not the only one in this boat. Maybe we need a good 12 step program for old Hot rodders, a good solid program that will be proven for the next generation. Ha Ive already provided the first step. step #1) admit you have a problem #2) ?

You guys make me feel brilliant. I retired in 93 and began building/restoring cars. My Bud had 3 vehicles started in different stages and I had plans for my 36 coupe and a couple of old Broncos. Well, between the two of us, we have cranked out 18 vehicles and did some pro-bono work for some deserving folks that could not afford it along the way. This has been a hobby and we turned down work all the time because people would see our work and want us to do theirs. We always said we did not want to make a job out of our hobby and have stood by this. I feel brilliant because you have just verified what I thought would happen.
I too am well aware of what you are feeling. I found myself loosing not only interest, but time, where does the time go!!
One thing I have done over the years is find variations of the passion, in other words "change it up a little".
Take on a restoration instead of a rod. Maybe a custom, get into some other style you have never tried.
If you follow a "Theme" on every car, follow that theme on every nut and bolt. You will find that the persuit of that theme will keep you interested. The reason being it changes from project to project. Just that works wonders.

It's too bad that in this day and age, we have to worry about a company changing its name so as not to be confused with a violent organization. ISIS had announced its intention to re-brand earlier this year, but recent developments have forced it to move up the timeline.
It is expected that the newly named Softcard will be facing a new competitor when the Apple iPhone 6 is introduced on September 9th. The next iteration of Apple's smartphone is expected to offer NFC connectivity and a new mobile payment platform. Currently, certain models of the iPhone can use the Incipio Cashwrap case that comes with a micro NFC chip, and works in conjunction with the ISIS mobile wallet app.
While the ISIS terror group has recently changed its name to ISIL, it probably is still a good idea on Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T's part to change the name of its mobile payment service

8 miles a day??? A 7 mo old pup? Jimminy Crickets!!!! That's a boat load of walking for a baby.
Wow, I don't think I even have time in my day to walk 8 miles.
But 5 cups sounds about right.

how's my 383 build going??
Scat9000 crank scat pro comp I beam 7/16 screw, icon forged flat tops, 11.1 w/64cc heads, this is a 383 stroker the rods are 6", my question is what type of head to use with my setup its going to be a bracket motor,I already have a .500/.500 246@.050 302 advertised flat tapet cam I plan on using. Thank you all , any info appreciated
With that compression i'll assume it's a race engine. Do you already have the parts?
Yes I lack the heads and intake, I'm just not sure about what head to use
I've heard good things about Dart heads. But if you're on a budget a lot of guys use the Patriot freedom series 800 bucks ready to run is hard to beat.
Procomp 210's, buy them bare, assemble and check everything yourself. Clean up the casting and bowl area.
if you have the money large port vortec heads are great too.
for ar ace engine,buy the heads first then match the cam to the head flow numbers.

I like the patriots. Same specs as the more expensive brands. Only reason they're cheaper is because you're not getting the big name that goes witht the higher cost pieces.

/// What's Behind the Success of Feedly?
If you use Feedly, you might be interested in learning how it got its start, and how the end of Google Reader was a huge advantage for Feedly. In fact, according to Business Insider, the site was able to make more than $1 million and catch the attention of 15 million users practically overnight.
Business Insider's Alyson Shontell described how co-founders Edwin Khodabakchian and Cyril Moutran were able to get and keep most of Google Reader's former audience. For example, they made sure their servers could keep up with the suddenly increased demand once Google Reader shut down. And apparently, Feedly's founders believe the company is so successful because "Feedly is a productivity, not leisure, application. He feels his product is less of a news reader, like Flipboard, and more of a professional resource, like LinkedIn's Pulse."
If you want to learn more about how Feedly is doing, check out the full article at Business Insider.

FEMA Denies Aid To West, TX For Blast
The Federal Emergency Management Agency is refusing to provide money to help rebuild the small Texas town where a deadly fertilizer plant explosion leveled numerous homes and a school, and killed 15 people.
In a letter, FEMA says it reviewed the state's appeal for the funds to help West. But the agency says the impact from the explosion "is not of the severity and magnitude that warrants a major disaster declaration."
West Mayor Tommy Muska says the money is needed to cover $57 million in damage, including $40 million to rebuild a destroyed school. The West Fertilizer Co. blew up in April.
The letter is addressed to Texas Gov. Rick Perry and dated June 10.
FEMA did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Nonprofits to Receive Stimulus Money for Home Energy Efficiency
Florida is receiving 175 million federal stimulus dollars to make homes more energy efficient.
The money will be distributed through nonprofit groups, and there are concerns about the state's ability to keep track of that much cash, according to the Capitol News Service.
The Capital Area Community Action Agency is one of the groups receiving money. The agency will get $6 million for four counties.
"Our normal weatherization fund is around $350,000 for all of those counties, said Dorothy Johnson with agency.
They are hiring extra staff to help keep track of how the money is being spent.
The money won't begin circulating in Florida until September, but five states that have already received the weatherization dollars are reporting misused funds, according to the news service.
Florida's 'Stimulus Czar' Don Winstead said extra measures will be in place to keep everyone honest.
"I think the Department of Community Affairs has built a strong oversight mechanism there for paying attention to those monies," Winstead said.
The Department of Community Affairs is hiring 10 extra people to make sure contractors are doing the work the state is paying them to do.
In the past, families that qualified could receive $2,500 to weatherize their homes. Because of the stimulus money, the amount has been raised to $6,500, according to the news service.

Travel Postcard: 48 hours in Kathmandu
By Gopal Sharma
KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Nepal's capital, Kathmandu, is an ancient town dotted with Hindu and Buddhist temples, a riot of color and dust with clogged streets where stray cows and dogs vie for rotting leftovers beside swanky malls.
The city is ringed by rolling hills and has many satellite towns, such as Patan and Bhaktapur, which are popular with tourists. The area has seven old monuments that are listed by UNESCO as World Heritage sites, all within less than two hours' drive.
Reuters correspondents with local knowledge suggests how visitors can get the most out of a 48-hour visit.
7 p.m. - Thamel, known as "a city within a city," is the tourist hub of Kathmandu. For dinner try one the rooftop restaurants that offer a fantastic view of the city skyline. For music lovers there are restaurants that offer food and drinks with accompanying live concerts.
9 p.m. - Pop into one of the many discos which are popular with well-heeled Nepali youths.
7:30 a.m. - After breakfast take a "heritage walk" through the ancient parts of Kathmandu. In a few minutes are in the 14th century, with narrow alleys and rutted streets, shops with low, carved doorways and pigeons sitting on a maze of telephone cables that swirl overhead from utility poles.

The HMO Research Network Virtual Data Warehouse: A Public Data Model to Support Collaboration
Submission Type
Informatics, Data Reuse, Health Information Technology, Research Networks, Standardized Data Collection
The HMO Research Network (HMORN) Virtual Data Warehouse (VDW) is a public, non-proprietary, research-focused data model implemented at 17 health care systems across theUnited States. The HMORN has created a governance structure and specified policies concerning the VDW's content, development, implementation, and quality assurance. Data extracted from the VDW have been used by thousands of studies published in peer-reviewed journal articles. Advances in software supporting care delivery and claims processing and the availability of new data sources have greatly expanded the data available for research, but substantially increased the complexity of data management. The VDW data model incorporates software and data advances to ensure that comprehensive, up-to-date data of known quality are available for research. VDW governance works to accommodate new data and system complexities. This article highlights the HMORN VDW data model, its governance principles, data content, and quality assurance procedures. Our goal is to share the VDW data model and its operations to those wishing to implement a distributed interoperable health care data system.

Supermarket Stocks Fall on Kroger's Sales Miss
There was a time when Kroger (KR) outpaced peers in the supermarket industry.
It made a name for itself by becoming more value-oriented ahead of the recession and implementing a rewards program to appeal to cost-conscious consumers.
Today, the stock fell 3.6% to $40 after the company's failed to deliver the revenue growth that Wall Street expected.
Early Thursday, reported fiscal third quarter financial results. Net profit of $299 million, or 57 cents a share fell 5.7% from $317 million, or 60 cents a share, a year earlier. Excluding some special item, earnings were 53 cents, meeting consensus estimates from sell-side analysts.
Sales grew 3.2% as same-store sales continued to climb upward. But at $22.5 billion, Kroger's third-quarter top line fell short of the $22.75 billion expected by analysts.
The news pulled down shares of other supermarket chains. Safeway (SWY) fell 3.3% to $33.08, while Supervalu (SVU) retreated 1.2% to $6.38.

Quick question on an LS7 clutch swap
Hey guys, stuck on mobile access for the next few hours and have searched as much as I could. Just looking to confirm for an 07 V that the LS7 clutch assembly is a direct bolt in, no shim and that you need to notch the case a wee bit to clear room for the remote bleeder. I plan to leave the factory master and replace the slave with the LS7 unit. Stock clutch still works ok with 67k on it but trying to lose a little weight and noise.
Thanks in advance

Re: Quick question on an LS7 clutch swap
Yes, all you need is the LS7 slave, flywheel, disc & pressure plate assembly and no shim. I didn't have to notch the bell housing in my '07.

Re: Quick question on an LS7 clutch swap
I had to notch my bellhousing on my 07 with the ls7 slave (you could probably bend the one line, but notching the non-critical area seemed easier)
Thanks guys

Re: Quick question on an LS7 clutch swap
We had to bend the slave cylinder line to get it to match up. Everything else was direct bolt-on
Re: Quick question on an LS7 clutch swap
I really don't want to muddy the waters, but i also did the LS7 clutch in my car and if I had to do it again with what I know now, I would look into using a LS6 slave with the LS7 clutch/flywheel. I don't know the details about what shim would be required if any behind the slave cylinder, but the LS7 slave comes with a line that is intended for a Corvette, hence it is about 18" longer than the original LS6 slave hydraulic line. Folding up this extra hose between the trans tunnel and the bell housing(tight space), along with the required modifications/grinding of the bell housing to accommodate the different angle of hydraulic line that the LS7 slave has than the original LS6 slave. What I am saying, is that if I had a mechanics shop that was going to do this swap over and over, I would better pick the parts the second and third time around.Our phone number is 503-316-1811 We're here M-F, 8-5 Pacific Time.

Re: Quick question on an LS7 clutch swap
Use the CTS-V slave and pay $100 more for it than an LS7 plus you have to buy a shim. I think if I were to install a fourth LS7 clutch I would deal with the extra length of the line rather than forking out an additional $200ish. The extra line never hurt the performance of either of my LS7 clutches.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
If the post is relevant then it doesn't matter if it was started an hour ago or 10 years ago. I found it to be good reading. Lighten up, I think its tacky to be a house mother on the Inet.
If you have a problem reading old threads then take it upon yourself not to waste your own time.
alerion 38
I sail on SF Bay and checked into the new Alerion 38. Big dinero. I think they're intended for a well-heeled, older sailer who sails in relatively calm waters and enjoys a boat that performs well. Suspect it's quite speedy but if you're looking for a cruiser- the newer AE 38 are intended to be a day-sailer with maybe overnight capability for a couple. If I had more bucks and SF Bay winds were less than our avg 20-25 knots, I'd consider one.

I am a cruiser, not a racer, but hope to find something that has a bit of speed i.e.PHRF in the 150''s or better. I want a boat that is well suited to the light air and shallow waters of the Chesapeake, but also that has the ability to go offshore occasionally i.e. Bermuda, Nantuckett. Although not a requirement, I would also like to find a boat that couples classic exterior styling with a semi modern technologies.
I am interested in something late 1980''s or more current, but would consider older if the boat was in very good condition. Any thoughts on Bristol 35.5 or 38.8, Tartan 35 or 37, and Sabre 362 or 38 MKII? Anyone know anything about the Alerion 38???
Any thoughts on other boats that should be considered?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry about the post...the not at the end is a typo....I started to say some unkind words about one of your choices but remebered what mama used to say......If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
121 Guy
Bristol etc.
My two cents....three really...
I kick myself for not buying a Sabre 362......You really need to compare the designer as well. Jim Taylor is a great one. I've sailed on several of his race boats and cannot speak enough good words about them.
That said, my best friends dad is 78 and is selling his Alerion 38. I've sailed on her and helped put her together. He is the first owner and she has had great care during her midwest fresh water life on Lake Michigan....once again the designer, in this case Carl Schumaker (may he RIP) is another of the great ones. The TPI construction is also very nice. She is the white one on yachtworld sitting in Michigan.
Both sail great and each has plusses and minuses....the interior on the 362 is bigger, the Alerion has more sail combination options with the yawl rig and will be easier to sail with the Hoyt self tacking jib boom. Alerion has a tiller, Sabre a wheel....interesting is that when the tiller is in dock mode on the Alerion, she has one of the largest and most comfortable social cockpits I've been in.
Good luck on your search!

I sat there and read through those posts before I realized it was 5 years old. It is annoying. It's not that the material is any less relevant, although Jeff H's 2001 comments about Tartan's inconsistent build quality seemed particularly prescient!
Wouldn't it make sense to freeze threads after a year of inactivity? I'm sure there would be a million reasons why not, but after that long a new thread could be started.
Plus, I'm afraid I'm going to mouth off at someone's comment in a thread only to find out they died years earlier in a tragic sailing accident.
|I would consider the Morgan 38/2 a pretty big step down in terms of build quality, finish and design.
please don't revive dead threads. you really should start a new thread instead... reviving old dead threads is both tacky and considered poor net etiquette.
Jeff H -
Would you include the Morgan 38 2/3/4 in this comparison? Why, why not?
Bristol vs. Sabre Vs. Tartan or others
Er, make that splicing new docklines.
Bristol vs. Sabre Vs. Tartan or others
At Kw''s prompting, (and as a break from slicing new docklines)a quick comment and then my thoughts on the boats in question. A PHRF rating of 150 for a 38 footer (or even for a 35 footer) falls in the incredibly slow range. A 38 foot boat with a reasonbable turn of speed should be down around the 109 to 120 range (for example my 38 footer rates in the 80''s) and a 35 footer with a reasonable turn of speed should be down around 126 to 132 or so(for example a C&C 35 rates around 129). A fast PHRF rating for a modern 38 foot racer/cruisers are down around in the 21 to 30 range.
-Bristol 35.5 or 38.8-
These are solid, low tech boats. They are not very good in the prevailing light air of a Chesapeake summer but they really come more alive in breezes approaching 10-12 knots. Ted Hood was a master at designing heavy weight boats that also sail well. Still they give away a lot of performance.
Without doing a lot of homework, I beleive that both boats were available in three versions. Deeper fin keel, keel centerboarder, and shoal keel. Both the deep keel and the keel centerboarder have reasonably performance up wind and dead down. If I remember right there was a shoal draft version that I rafted up at a cruise with us some 10 years back and watching that boat try to beat was painful for all of the leeway. A good case could be made for either Deeper fin keel, or keel centerboarder.
I will say that the 38 is probably my favorite Bristol although I am not a huge fan of the Bristols. Bristols are the antithesis of the type of boat that I would prefer for the Bay because of their heavy weight, mediocre performance in a short chop and poor rig proportion. (I really consider their IOR rule inspired big jib/small mainsail to be a very poor cruising rig.)
Tartan 35 or 37,
Tartan is a weird company. It seems like it has been in and out of finacial trouble for much of its existance and has varied the build and design quality of their boats throughout the history of the company. I have never been a fan of the original Tartan 37. While these were good boats up wind, their motion with the wind past their quarter is absolutely miserable and all else being acceptable would be a deal breaker for me. The IOR rule inspired big jib/small mainsail being a very poor cruising rig applies here as well. The 37''s particularly seem vary in build quality more widely than other Tartan models, with some seemingly built to a very high quality and others I''ve been on were so clearly poorly built that I would rate the Beneteau First 38 to be a substantially better built boat. Today the 37''s have reached cult status and so, in my book they are overpriced for what they are. Still and all somebody must really like these boats but they just don''t knock my socks off.
The original 37 was replaced by the 372. I have always like these much better. I must admit that I have only been on board these at boat shows and so can only go on first impressions, but my first impression is that these are pretty nicely built boats. I have spent a little time on a Tartan 31 which is a contempory of these boats and thought that appeared to be very well constructed, although I thought the deck hardware was a bit undersized.
I have always liked the Tartan 3500 and think that is a really nice boat for the Chesapeake. With rating of 117 or so for the deep keel version, these are pretty quick boats. My limited time on these also suggest a very good build quality but in talking to the owner of one a few years back, he indicated that there were several winch options on these boats and he regretted going for the smaller option. To paraphrase how he put it, "As a cruiser I did not think that I needed the bigger winches. It was only after sailing the boat that I realized that as a cruiser I did not have an 8 man racing crew aboard, one of which typically nicknamed something like ''Moose'' to bring in the jib. My wife and I have real troubles in a strong breeze." This was not a terribly large man but I still suggest that you see if you can determine if the boat in question has the bigger winches as a pair of larger winches can be $4K to $5K even out of the discount catalogues.
Sabre 362 or 38 MKII
These are both really nice boats. I especially like the layout of the 362 with its aft head and galley. The head has a separate shower area which makes the shower much more useful. Of the three manufacturer''s, I slightly prefer Sabres. These just seem to be slightly more consistent in producing solid boats that ballance sailing ability with good construction.
Alerion 38,
These are very interesting boats which combine the beauty of a traditional boat with modern construction (built at TPI who also builds J-Boats) and underbodies by Carl Schumaker who is one of my favorite designers. I can''t say that I have any real experience with them but they do have a certain charisma. From what I have seen they impress me as being quite expensive and thier ketch rig makes no sense to at all to me.
Let me throw a couple more boats in the mix.
C&C 38 MkIII
These are really nice boats that are very similar in concept to and priced quite competitively with the other boats on your list. They are set up to be performance oriented as well as good cruising boats.
Beneteau First 38s5 and First 38:
Beneteau is kind of the GM of boat builders in that they have quite a few boat divisions and models. They builds boats with a wide range of quality and purpose. Beneteau gets a lot of hard knocks on the internet but if you don''t spend much time with Bene''s it is easy to think that they are all built to the quality level of the more budget oriented lines.
Having spent a fair amount of time with the First Series boats, I really like the 38s5 and the earlier Frers(Berret?)designed First 38. These are well rounded designs that can certainly be purchased for a lot less than the other boats on you list and should sail as well and hold up as well as these others.
I also am very impressed with the new 36.7 which is a Farr design and should deliver new within your price range.

Kate Hudson & Matt Bellamy: Groucho Club Couple
Looking to beat the midweek slump, Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy hit up the Groucho Club in London, England last night (November 7).
The "Fool's Gold" actress and her Muse main squeeze seemed annoyed as they exited the SoHo hotspot given all the attention they garnered.
In related news, Bellamy recently revealed that their son Bingham's in utero heartbeat is featured on his band's new song "Follow Me."
"It was recorded on an iPhone just before [Kate] pushed him out. It was totally spontaneous, two days before the baby's arrival, and Kate was in the hospital with this…strap thing, which I had no idea about, and suddenly we could hear everything. It was incredibly emotional."
Enjoy the pictures of Kate Hudson out in London with Matthew Bellamy (November 7).

Cyanide studios have announced a new game that's probably worth keeping an eye on. Isometric rpgwith skill trees etc. According to gameranx combat is similar to baldurs gate / dragonage . which I guess means real time with pause. Apparently its based on a board game called Confrontation.
preview here:
and the official website:
Sounds promising, thanks. Bookmarked it and shall see how it pans out. Little concerned about the limited skills mentioned in the article but if it preforms as indicated I can live with it.
