Historical Traveler Reviews Carter House Inns Eureka
Not so much
Was really looking forward to our stay at the Hotel Carter after reading good reviews and travelogues that raved about the place. Sadly, our experience was disappointing at best.
You can count on a very comfortable bed and some nice bath salts. And for the high price that you pay, that's all you get. Breakfast not included, snooty staff who seem to have been "coached" to act smug and condescending (too bad they haven't been coached to be good servers), cramped and dark room...the charm is forced and it's just too easy to feel uncomfortable at this place.
We escaped one night and quickly discovered that the surrounding neighborhood is sketchy and scary. There is a correctional facility (and a dozen bailbonds offices) just two blocks away.
Best service we ever got
Excellent service! And we stayed at this place with a 14 month old baby. The staff was very accomodating, the food was delicious, and the hotel was tastefully decorated and cozy... I recommend it!
Good but should be a bit better for the price
As with another one of the reviewers, we found the Carter House to be a very welcome respite in an area where the lodging alternatives are not very appealing. Having stayed at inns in other locals with similar concepts and in the same price zone, however, we noted that the Carter House does aim a bit higher than it hits. The suite we stayed in was cozy and nicely appointed with a comfortable bed but very dark, and there was no light over the two-person jacuzzi in a windowless bathroom, which defeats its intended use for relaxing as opposed to just getting clean. There were two fireplaces, but both had only gas-operated flames (no actual fire) -- probably more safe but they don't throw off any warmth. The restaurant is obviously a big point of emphasis and priced accordingly, but we found it disappointing because one of us (me) is a vegetarian (not vegan) and although they tantalizingingly offer a vegeratarian option for their five-course special dinner menu, the entree (a risotto) our first night was lacking in any flavor. The rest of the food was good (although they forgot to give us bread until after we got our entrees), so we figured it was a fluke and tried again the next night, asking if the cook could provide something different -- they gave me pasta with the exact same stuff on it and also no flavor. This would be exactly what you'd expect in a so-so restaurant but is not acceptable at a place with these aspirations and these prices -- it's too much to pay for a dinner that's obviously an afterthought for the chef. I would recommend that they follow a rule of making every dish tasty enough to satisfy a nonvegetarian foody or not bother with vegetarian options at all -- other upscale inns have tried and succeeeded. Nonetheless, the breakfast is very nice. The staff was friendly. And, again, noone is trying to do anything like this in this area.
Redwood oasis
my sister beth and I found carter house on our way from a visit to napa driving up to portland, OR. I have to disagree with the review stating the carter house is "trying to be something it's not" because it's exactly what the area needs - an oasis for a couple of self-proclaimed and shameless Foodie Wine Geeks. yes eureka is a small city, but what do you expect - its an old port town in the middle of redwood forests!
no one else between san fran and portland can offer the kind of service and extravagance you find at their place. we were treataed like royalty and it was worth the price. if you're saving money, stay at a motel.
the carter victorians are obviously meant to be a memorable experience, and they have succeeded in that.
This Place is Greatly Over-Rated
This place was the worst experience of my three weeks travel in Northern California. Noiseyneighborhood, smugg & haughty staff, adequate lodging at exobinate high prices. The good reviews must have been written by relatives of the owner , or the owner him/her self.
Jacques Duhameeuw, Ghent, Belgium
This Place is AWESOME!!!
I have never felt so pampered in my entire life... The staff is incredible - the decor is fabulous - the Food scrumptious!
A real gem!
Walking into this lobby was a real joy--I had just spent 8-9 hours traveling and the warm, cozy and personal atmosphere was very soothing.
My room was right off the lobby--it was simple, yet had a lot of character. I stayed in the newer building (where the restaurant is located). The breakfast was really good and the coffee was excellent.
This was a perfect port in the storm after a busy day traveling.
Luxury in Eureka
My sister and I had the good fortune of finding the Carter Hotel while traveling through the coastal redwoods of Northern California. After a day spent enjoying the art galleries and Victorian architecture of Eureka, we spotted the Carter Hotel from the marina. The staff was very accommodating in this incredibly romantic hotel. The intimate lobby and spacious rooms are filled with exceptional, original art. Our room facing the bay was filled with antique pine furniture, fireplace, and elevated whirlpool tub. And this was just the start of our stay. We enjoyed delightful conversationLuxury and tasty nibbles with fellow travelers in front of a splendid roaring wood fireplace. Then the most incredible dinner of the year. We were offered the choice of ala carte or prix fix menus. We decided on the prix fix (referred to as a discovery menu) option and enjoyed a five course meal with wine pairings with our appetizer, soup, entr�e and dessert.
The Hotel Carter and Restaurant 301
The Hotel Carter and adjoining Restaurant 301 are a tradition with my husband and me. We returned just this September 2003 for our second trip. The rooms are lovely, spacious and convenient with the restaurant below. We are always greeted warmly, the glass of wine and social hour before dinner is friendly, the hot hors d'oeuvres perfect. I can truly recommend this place to all. Breakfast cooked for you the next morning sends you happily out to start your day.
Restaurant 301--we found through Wine Spectator. Since we enjoy California wine touring what a treat to read through the 100 page list of wines. That was entertainment. Our dinners have always been superb, thanks to the Chef and the staff is well trained but very friendly and down to earth. Must eat there and try a new wine.The suggestions are based on knowledge and interest. Great desserts too. You will not be disappointed.
Hardly worth the price....
My wife and I stayed there recently and were less than impressed.
Overall the Carter House is trying very, very hard to be something that it isn't, and something it could never be: classy, stylish, elegant, and cosmopolitan. The rates are ludicrous for what you get, the rooms were mediocre at best, and the atmosphere left much to be desired; a small place, in a small town, with a big price tag. Do yourself a favor and keep driving, or stay in Arcata.

This is a gimmicky book that actually works for once. It is an intelligent and well thought-out discussion of Java design patterns, and if you dont know what a design pattern is then this is an excellent way to find out. It is also an interested discussion of object-oriented design. I found that the authors often anticipated my reaction to their initial explanations and asked the questions that I would have asked had it been a lecture. - Mike James, VSJ, April 2005

Chase Winovich comments on his Michigan choice
The University of Michigan's football recruiting class of 2014 is ranked No. 1 in the country so far by ESPN. Tonight, the Wolverines' class added a Western Pennsylvania flavor.
Thomas Jefferson linebacker Chase Winovich, a heavily-recruited outside linebacker, announced tonight he will attend Michigan. His other top choices were Pitt and Ohio State, but it appeared that the final decision came down to Michigan and Pitt.
Winovich is 6 feet 4, 220 pounds and led Thomas Jefferson in tackles last season. He had scholarship offers from schools across the country.
Here are some of Winovich's comments about his decision and a few other things:
On how long he knew he wanted to go to Michigan: "It was after my third trip to Michigan a few weeks ago that I woke up the next morning, went out to breakfast, made a trip to my brothers' house [in Toledo] when it really hit me. I said 'Michigan is the place where I belong.' I just got that feeling. It wasn't something that was forced, either."
On Ohio State, where he also visited: "It might be great for some other kids, but it just didn't fit me. Coach [Luke] Fickell, coach [Urban] Meyer and coach [Mike] Vrabel are awesome and great guys. But it just doesn't feel right."
Winovich has been to Pitt "four or five times." His last visit to Pitt came only a few days ago.
On turning down Pitt: "I went down to Pitt with an open mind. I wanted to give Pitt as fair a shot as I did Ohio State and Michigan. I found out that I really liked Pitt. They're class 'A' people. That's what is tough. It's your home city. Their coaches are so genuine in their approach to everything."
Winovich said he had a number of reasons why he chose Michigan.
On one of the factors that gave Michigan the edge over Pitt: "I think what might have helped sway Michigan was the fact that I think they have a legitimate shot at winning a national championship."
On anything else he wants to say: "I just want to say thanks to my family, friends and teammates. None of this would've been possible without them."

Loved their shrimp fried rice and soup. Wait staff were very friendly and efficient. Did not have to wait for refills on drinks. Service was fast. Nice atmosphere. I will definitely visit again.
There pan fried dumplings are best, fish with green beans is yum and we always order chicken with Chinese vegetables.
Friendly and fast service. Very tasty dishes. We ordered 3 mains, 1 appetizer, 1 soup and the family fried rice. All good. There sweet buns are also very tasty. Good value for the large portions.
THis is the closest we've come to a great, family, Chinese Restaurant. Had the mu shoo shrimp...made JUST like I asked. They are responsive to customers' requests and always delicious.
We were happily surprised by the service and the food. Fresh hot food for a great value. Will def return another time. The soups were hot and delicious.
Went for lunch and had the lunch special. The food came out fresh, hot & delicious....all at a reasonable price. My boss loves this place and though there are Chinese Restaurants closer to our work place, he will drive to this one for the Hot & Sour soup alone.

Are you paying too much for aviation services? It can be challenging for top management to answer such questions. Here are 10 rules to follow to ensure that your flight department is operating effectively.

If insuring a jet were like insuring a car, you wouldn't need this article-or much help at all. You'd simply call your insurance agent, tell him what model you were buying, make a few quick decisions about coverage limits and be done with it.

Chartering out your jet when you don't need it can seem like a no-lose proposition. It's certainly not earning you any money sitting in a hangar. On the contrary. So why not put it to work to help defray your ownership costs? You may well want to do just that, but not before you've carefully weighed the pros and cons.
"When you get into the larger aircraft it becomes like a hotel, with dozens of staff supporting the plane based in a galley area down below. You have very comprehensive cooking facilities, and on larger aircraft we have looked at theatres, with spiral staircases and a Steinway grand piano. The limitations for what you can put inside a plane are pretty much the limits of physics, and even money cannot always overcome that. Even so, people are still always trying to push [the limits]. "
-Howard Guy of Design Q, a UK-based consultancy

AAP failed as it went beyond constitution: Sheila Dikshit
Former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit Saturday said the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government failed because it started to go "beyond the constitution".
"Though AAP tried to tackle Delhi's problem, but I don't think they succeeded because they started going beyond the constitution... and that is when they really failed," said Dikshit.
She said the Congress supported the AAP government, thinking they will fulfil all the people-friendly points and promises made in the past and in their their party manifesto.
When asked if the Congress was expecting early assembly polls, Dikshit said that it was for the Lt. governor to decide.
"It is for the Lt. governor and the home ministry to decide when the polls can be conducted," she said.
Kejriwal Friday resigned as the chief minister after Congress and BJP legislators "defeated" AAP's attempts to introduce the Jan Lokpal bill.
Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung had earlier written to Speaker M.S. Dhir saying the bill should not be tabled in the assembly as he has not approved it.
However, Kejriwal was adamant on introducing his pet bill in the assembly and announced his resignation later at his party office when the bill could not introduced.

ical for Thunderbird Lightning
How can I "import" ToDoist tasks via iCal to Thunderbird Lightning. I found instructions only for outlook...
I tried the following steps but failed:
in Thunderbird Lightning
File-> New-> Calendar -> Network -> CalDav
copy and paste the url for my ToDoist setting - but the tasks can not be synchronised with Thunderbird Lightning
All responses
Hello Ivonne,
Please try to use the iCalendar (ICS) format rather than CalDAV and try to add it this way.
Also, please use the Synchronize button and wait about 1-5 minutes to make sure that the calendar synchronizes correctly and you should see your Todoist tasks in your calendar.
Best regards,
Hi David,
I did it the way you explained and synchronised the calendar as well. I did not receive any error message but no tasks are being displayed still. What should I do now? Thank you.
When you're viewing the calendar tab in Lightning, you should see two areas - the list of events at the top and the calendar itself. Please tell me - do you see any of your Todoist tasks even in the list of events.
During the attempt to reproduce this issue, after adding the Todoist calendar nothing happened at first, then the tasks were visible only at the top in the list of events and after a couple of minutes all appeared within the calendar itself.
Do you have tasks in Todoist that have a due date or due time? Please note that only these tasks are synchronized. Tasks with no due date won't be added to the calendar.
Best regards,
This feature doesn't seem to work for me as well. I have Lightning installed in Thunderbird and followed the instructions above to no success. Can you let us know if there is a fix for this?
Hi Cecilia,
This is a known issue that has been reported to our developers already. As soon as we have a fix, we'll let you know.
So sorry for the inconvenience.
This issue has now been fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hi David, Thanks so much for the update. I have re-added the Todoist feed to my Lightning calendar. Works like a charm.

Camp Kudzu's WOW Video of 2015 from Camp Kudzu on Vimeo.
Camp Kudzu is dedicated to empowering and educating kids living with type 1 diabetes through summer camp and year round programs. Camp Kudzu's power is transformative. It adds joy, hope and confidence to young lives. At camp, children learn to reach for their dreams without being limited by diabetes. This experience happens in the fresh air and in the gathering places and paths of camp in the company of health care professionals, mentors and caring, well-trained counselors.
Camp Kudzu is Georgia's single largest resource, outside hospitals and clinics, for diabetes self-management education. It's a Georgia-based nonprofit. Camp Kudzu offers summer camps, family weekends, teen retreats, adventure trips and more. The focus is on fun, but the lessons are critical to long-term health. Children who have access to quality diabetes management education at a young age can reduce their risk of diabetes-related complications and often display greater emotional resilience in coping with their diabetes. Camp is a child-friendly atmosphere where healthy habits are reflected by adult role models living with diabetes as well. Diabetes camp also offers the same benefits of any other residential camp which includes activities, games, new friends, and a lot of fun!
"There is one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in." – Graham Greene

Did not have the crab but used 6 lbs of shrimp. Excellent - even had the garlic spread on french bread (just like roasted garlic!). This will be our new company dish - no real preparation and everyone gathering around the cooker to help (we have a 32 quart crab/turkey propane gas cooker)flag if inappropriate
I didn't have crabs and made it with kielbasa sausage chunks as a substitute. It tasted great but made it a little greasy.flag if inappropriate

Re: Flight into Xi'an that is not domestic
No offence, but it would be nice if you didn't sound so whiney. :)
The information that you're looking for is actually readily available on Xi'an airport's website -- but I guess you don't read Chinese?
The only South-East Asian airport that has direct flights to Xi'an would be Bangkok. Don't bother with Singapore unless you don't mind transiting via Shanghai -- trust me, I know this route well.
China Eastern MU282 (0330--0730) flies on Wed/Sun; Bangkok Air PG831 (0325--0700) flies on Tue/Sat.

Pink again the star Saturday nightPublished 10:48am Wednesday, August 8, 2012 Updated 10:48am Wednesday, August 8, 2012
The Tough Enough to Wear Pink partnership with the PRCA Rodeo has the potential to make a local impact during the Tough Enough to Wear Pink night on Saturday. The funds raised will benefit the Lake Region Healthcare Cancer Care and Research Center, bringing the fight to Fergus Falls.
The dollars raised through donations, raffles, and activities will stay in Fergus Falls, according to Denice Laymon with Lake Region Hopsital Foundation. Other supporters include the Friends of the Foundation and an anonymous benefactor promising to match every dollar donated in the month of August, up to $100,000.
"The donor is someone that believes in the cancer center and the Friends of the Foundation, and who wants to keep the money close to home," said Laymon. "Come support this. If $5 is donated, it's worth $10."
On Saturday, Aug. 11, the PRCA Rodeo and sponsor Wrangler challenge rodeo attendants to wear pink to bring attention to the cause against cancer. For every ticket sold, $2 will be donated to the Cancer Center. "Of course, the Cancer Center is about more than breast cancer, but we fully recognize the power of pink and Wrangler's partnership with the PRCA to help benefit cancer care and research," said Laymon.
Tickets are on sale at RHRA, BJs, or at the gate. Adult admission is $15, kids 6-12 is $8, and 5 and under get in free.
That night, there are several other opportunites to support the campaign, all located under the tent on the Red Horse Ranch Arena grounds.
The Lake Region Hospital Foundation and Friends of the Foundation will hold several additional activities and fundraisers in conjunction with the rodeo. A pork chop dinner served by the Underwood Lions, and silent auction along with face painting and juggling for the kids will be held under the big tent on the rodeo grounds Saturday night before the rodeo from 4 to 6 p.m.
The winning raffle tickets are worth a pink custom "Go Float Impulse" electric watercraft donated by Frontier Powersports, a gold bracelet donated by Dave Peters Jewelers, or $500 cash donated by Marco Inc. Raffle tickets are on sale now at the Lake Region Healthcare Gift Shop.
"The rodeo kick-off is the balloon release, which is a very emotional event," said Laymon. Memorial or honorary balloons for loved ones affected by cancer will be released at 7 p.m. Those who wish to purchase a balloon should contact the Friends of the Foundation at 218-998-6370.
If rodeos aren't your thing, there are still several other ways to donate to the foundation. Pink cowboy boots are stationed at local businesses, and the gift shop in the hospital has merchandise such as pink shirts for sale. You can also donate directly to the LRH Foundation, 218-736-8195, 712 Cascade Street South, Fergus Falls.
"We think what we're doing here in Fergus Falls is great. We want to sustain it and continue making a difference. Even better, the dollars stay here in Fergus," said Laymon.

Wellcome to the Forum.
You have excellent 67 camera and lenses. I am forum member for 7 years and saw most natural and breathtaking pictures from that lens group.
They were taken under nordic light and like Vermeer. I think best camera for North Sea light. I heard diamond business is great there and old timers were selecting the diamonds quality with seeing the yellow orange minimal cast while holding the diamond pieces againts the sky.
They say purest white light is at Holland. In my opinion , you could open the windows of your studio and see the limits of lenses and yourself.
I saw some ultra saturated and having an alien appearance with these lens under dim light but as I told you , each lens have a soft spot.
By the way We dont talk about digital cameras here but at DPUG.
If you will scan and make digital printed film , it is the address.

SEATTLE — Aaron Harang has shown a knack in his brief Mariners career for following his worst outings with some of his best, but he out-did himself on Tuesday.
Coming off a start in which he didn't even make it out of the third inning against the Yankees, Harang was masterful in a 4-0 victory over the Houston Astros at Safeco Field. With Team USA playing soccer simultaneously at Century Link Field, the game drew just 10,266 fans, the second-smallest crowd ever at Safeco.
They saw Harang fire his second shutout in his last four starts and eighth of his career, a two-hitter that matched the best outing of his career. He also had a two-hitter against the Pirates on Aug. 29, 2007 while pitching for Cincinnati. Harang struck out a season-high 10, his first game of double-digit strikeouts since April 13, 2012 while with the Dodgers. Harang didn't walk a batter.
"He was fantastic,'' Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "When he commands his fastball and it rides like it was tonight and he's able to leverage it downhill, and climb when he wants to, he's real good. When he does that, his secondary stuff is locked in, too, and that's how it was tonight."
The key for Harang, now 3-6 with a 5.60 earned-run average, is to do that more consistently. He's tied for the major-league lead in shutouts but has also mixed in some stinkers along the way.
"It's muscle memory, that repetition of working right,'' he said. "They say it takes a certain percentage of doing something bad or wrong to throw everything off, and it takes four times as long to get it back to being right.
"It also comes with feel. Some days you feel great, and you can throw every pitch in any count. Other days you pray you can throw just one pitch for strikes. When you can throw more than one pitch for strikes and get ahead early, it makes all the difference in the world."
The Astros, meanwhile, continued the sloppy play that had marked their loss to the Mariners on Monday. Endy Chavez led off Seattle's first with a double into the right-field corner, and when the throw in skipped past shortstop Ronny Cedeno for an error, Chavez moved to third.
The Mariners were on the verge of stranding him there after a popup and strikeout, but with two strikes on Raul Ibanez, Astros starter Bud Norris uncorked a wild pitch that allowed Chavez to score.
Rookie Nick Franklin led off the second with another double, leading to another error on the throw back to the infield that allowed Franklin to reach third. The error was Houston's fifth in 10-plus innings in the series, and quickly led to a run as Michael Saunders lined out to deep left to bring in Franklin.
Ibanez launched a homer to center off Norris with one out in the sixth, his team-leading 13th of the season. The Mariners completed their scoring in the eighth when Chavez led off with his second double of the game, moved to third on Brendan Ryan's ground out and came home on Kyle Seager's single.
Wedge was pleased with the Mariners' alertness on the bases and their situational hitting.
"If you're not banging the baseball around, situationally, you have to be better, you have to execute, and you have to play heads-up baseball,'' he said. "Those are things you should always do anyway, but it's that much more important when you're not banging the ball around. It has to be everyone's mindset."
As for Harang, he lasted just three innings against the Angels on April 26 and came back with his first Mariners win his next time out. He was battered by the Angels on May 21, and bounced back with a four-hit shutout of the Padres.
Last Thursday, the Yankees touched him for six runs in 21 / 3 innings, but Harang again reversed the trend.
No Houston runner got past first base, and Wedge barely hesitated in sending him out for the ninth despite Harang's 107 pitches. He needed just seven more to get the final three outs.

The Healthy Tusc Task Force's summit, "Building a Healthier Community Together," will be Nov. 3 at the Performing Arts Center at Kent State Tuscarawas.
The Healthy Tusc Task Force hopes to correct high obesity levels in the Tuscarawas Valley with a daylong summit Nov. 3 to provide school, business, health care and community leaders the tools and resources to make a difference.
The summit, "Building a Healthier Community Together," will be at the Performing Arts Center at Kent State Tuscarawas.
While Ohio is the 13th fattest state in the union, Tuscarawas County's obesity rate is higher than the state average.
"Our county's rate is in line with the three fattest states in the nation," said Barbara Burns, director of the WIC program at the Tuscarawas County Health Department and chairman of Healthy Tusc Task Force. "We're right behind Mississippi."
Ohio is 12th in the nation for its poverty rate. "There is a direct link between poverty and obesity," she added.
"We're hoping for a great attendance from surrounding communities as well," she said. "Obesity does not stop at the county line."
About 32 percent of residents of Carroll, Harrison and Coshocton counties are considered obese, which is in line with the rate in Tuscarawas County.
"People who live in rural Appalachian counties tend to have higher obesity and health disparity rates than those who live in rural non-Appalachian counties," Burns explained.
Studies show that residents of this area tend to exercise less than the state average, eat fewer fruits and vegetables, smoke more and drink more alcohol, she said.
Speakers at the summit will include:
n Mark Fenton, a public health, planning and transportation consultant and adjunct professor at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science at Tufts University.
n Jessica Donze Black, a registered dietitian and director of the Kids Safe and Healthful Foods Project for Pew Charitable Trusts.
n Debra Kibbee, director of the Physical Activity and Nutrition Program for the International Life Sciences Institute Research Foundation.
Also scheduled are Bruce Hathaway of Y-USA; Dr. Tim McKnight of Trinity Hospital Twin City's Fit for Life program; Joseph Cimperman of Healthy Cleveland; and psychologist Nina Kucyk.
"These speakers are going to address strategies, tools and resources that will help area leaders in making changes we need to combat the obesity epidemic," Burns said.
Kibbee thinks there needs to be more of a focus on all children, not just those who are overweight.
"There are many children who are inactive and eat poorly," she said, noting that 80 percent of U.S. children are not meeting guidelines for eating fruits and vegetables and only 50 percent are meeting guidelines for engaging in vigorous physical activity.
"Therefore, we need to help all children become healthier," Kibbee said.
She addressed the question of what parents can do to help their kids.
Page 2 of 2 - "The role of the mother is the most critical piece," she said. "She empowers the family to be healthy."
Parents should look at the food the family is eating and the level of physical activity family members are engaging in, Kibbee said. But she added that parents should not try to make sweeping changes in their lifestyle, which is unlikely to work. Instead, they should focus on one simple thing, such as going from drinking full-calorie soda to diet soda and then to water, or eating more vegetables.
"When a family is successful at one little step, they'll try another," she said.

I'm a bit unsure as to how a regular member/subscriber can lock a thread in classifieds, so I'll let Sean or someone else field that one. If you have an "administrative" tab in the top right corner menu above the first post in the thread, there should be a "close thread" option there. I think that's how it should work, but logged in as a moderator, I'm not positive.
We have no problem with potential buyers making offers on "best offer" sales, as long as it doesn't become disruptive. Some have even proposed auction style sales (not necessarily with eBay rules--for instance the seller could decide to take the last bid that remains unchallenged for 24 hours, or with other rules), and the problems that people predicted have just never come about. The truth is, if people want an auction, they prefer the established rules and systems of an auction site, and we can't provide that. If the terms of sale are too onerous, no one will buy. If no one wants to do the research necessary to make a fair offer--which I always do whether the seller names a price or not--then sellers will figure out that this strategy is unsuccessful. The market seems to be regulating itself fairly well, so as long as it doesn't impinge on the culture of the forum, we'd prefer fewer rules to more.
The donation has always been voluntary. It's up to Sean to decide if that should change.
One thing that's come up that we haven't made a rule about is "bumping" threads. Personally I find this a bit silly, and it's been mentioned by a number of users as a source of irritation. For now, we'll just recommend that if you want your ad to have more visibility, or to be more successful, then provide more information or new information, if you're going to comment on your own ad--try better photos, examples of what the lens or camera can produce, a demo video, offer extra incentives like free shipping or accessories, or try a lower price.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
A Clayton County middle school student allegedly told investigators he reported a bomb threat, Wednesday, because he was "bored," said sheriff's officials.
It is the third bomb threat made against a Clayton County school this academic year. Arrests were made in each case, but nothing harmful was found in any of the schools.
Clayton County Sheriff Kem Kimbrough said such threats, which disrupt the school day as investigators clear the buildings and look for explosive devices, will not be tolerated.
"We will actively pursue and prosecute the individuals involved," he said.
Kimbrough also urged parents to talk to their children about making threats such as this one.
"Parents need to take the time to educate their children that these types of activities are against the law," said Kimbrough.
Kimbrough's office provides resource officers for many of the county's schools.
Lt. Brian Crisp said the 14-year-old, who cannot be identified because of his age, called 911 Wednesday morning to report overhearing two people talking about a bomb inside Pointe South Middle School, near Jonesboro.
"He told the operator he was not a student, but heard two males talking as he walked past the school," said Crisp.
However, the investigation revealed that the call came from a phone on school grounds. Crisp said the Clayton County Sheriff's Office and the Clayton County Police Department K9 Bomb Squad conducted a sweep of the school, but found nothing.
"The students were able to return to class after only a brief delay," he said.
Investigators identified the phone used to make the call. Several witnesses identified the caller by his voice, said Crisp.
"After initially denying the allegation, the juvenile finally admitted he placed the call because he was bored," Crisp said.
The student was arrested and charged with making terroristic threats and disruption of a public school. He was taken to the Martha Glaze Regional Youth Detention Center in Clayton County, pending a later court date, said Crisp.
The incident is the third one reported this school year. In October, Crisp said two juveniles were charged in connection with a bomb threat made at Charles Drew High School.
Crisp said the bomb threat was called in by a juvenile using his mother's disconnected cell phone. The sheriff's office, assisted by local and metro Atlanta bomb technicians, responded to the school and searched in vain for a destructive device, he said.
An investigation led Clayton deputies to the two juveniles, and they have been charged, said Crisp. They were not identified because of their ages.
In January, a Morrow High School student was arrested for making back-to-back calls about a bomb inside his school. In one of the 911 calls, the 14-year-old boy told the dispatcher he wanted $2 million.
The boy, who cannot be identified because of his age, was charged with three counts of felony terroristic threats, three counts of misdemeanor unlawful conduct during a 911 call, and two counts of disruption of a public school.
That student had enrolled in Clayton County Schools in September, after serving probation in Philadelphia for threatening another student with scissors. At his subsequent Juvenile Court hearing, Judge Steven Teske learned that the boy already had 15 absences and 52 tardies. Relatives told Teske they had concerns about the boy's association with gang members.
The boy was expected to return to Philadelphia, after being evaluated at a Riverdale treatment facility.

USA-Tax-News.Com reported today that,
Senator Chuck Grassley, ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, has criticized the version of the economic recovery legislation released by the House Ways and Means Committee last week for leaving out provisions that would curtail the reach of the alternative minimum tax for another year.
"The tax bill released by the House does not contain an alternative minimum tax patch for this year. If the alternative minimum tax patch is not enacted into law, millions of middle-class Americans won't get much of the tax benefits that they appear to be getting under the House bill, because the alternative minimum tax will take these benefits away," Grassley commented in a statement.
"It makes no sense to give tax cuts with one hand and take them away with another. I'll fight to have the alternative minimum tax patch for 2009 included in the Senate version of the stimulus bill, so that millions of middle-class Americans won't have their tax cuts taken away before they ever receive them," he added.
The Stimulus bill was approved by the House Ways and Means Committee last Thursday.
BNA Software had noted the lack of the AMT patch over a week ago and reported,
One noticeably absent provision in the stimulus package was an alternative minimum tax "patch" for tax year 2009. Raising the AMT exemption levels in 2009 to keep more than 20 million taxpayers from facing the tax would cost an estimated $80 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Lawmakers in both houses have expressed concern that inserting the AMT patch into the stimulus bill would either crowd out other tax incentives deemed to have a far greater stimulative effect on the economy or could push the cost of the total stimulus bill above their unofficial limit of $1 trillion.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters Jan. 15 that the immediate priorities for House Democrats are the investments in infrastructure and middle-class tax cuts in the package, not AMT.
Rangel echoed that view in comments to reporters, but said he expects senators to push harder for an AMT patch.

The artificial chromosome expression (ACE) technology system uses an engineered artificial chromosome containing multiple site-specific recombination acceptor sites for the rapid and efficient construction of stable cell lines. The construction of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines expressing an IgG1 monoclonal antibody (MAb) using the ACE system has been previously described (Kennard et al., Biotechnol Bioeng. 2009;104:540-553). To further demonstrate the manufacturing feasibility of the ACE system, four CHO cell lines expressing the human IgG1 MAb 4A1 were evaluated in batch and fed-batch shake flasks and in a 2-L fed-batch bioreactor. The batch shake flasks achieved titers between 0.7 and 1.1 g/L, whereas the fed-batch shake flask process improved titers to 2.5–3.0 g/L. The lead 4A1 ACE cell line achieved titers of 4.0 g/L with an average specific productivity of 40 pg/(cell day) when cultured in a nonoptimized 2-L fed-batch bioreactor using a completely chemically defined process. Generational stability characterization of the lead 4A1-expressing cell line demonstrated that the cell line was stable for up to 75 days in culture. Product quality attributes of the 4A1 MAb produced by the ACE system during the stability evaluation period were unchanged and also comparable to existing expression technologies such as the CHO-dhfr system. The results of this evaluation demonstrate that a clonal, stable MAb-expressing CHO cell line can be produced using ACE technology that performs competitively using a chemically defined fed-batch bioreactor process with comparable product quality attributes to cell lines generated by existing technologies. © 2010 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

New Old Stories: "The Motor Pirate"
As regards the appearance of his assailant, Mr. Bradshaw can give few particulars, save that he was clad in a large leather motoring coat, and his face completely hidden by a mask. The car can, on the contrary, be easily identified. It is boat-shaped, running to a sharp cutting edge both in front and behind. The body is not raised more than eighteen inches from the ground. The wheels are either within the body, or so sheathed that they are completely hidden. It has apparently seating accommodation for two persons, the seat being placed immediately in the center of the car. Mr. Bradshaw is quite convinced that petrol is not the motive force used for its propulsion, and as he cannot imagine that an electric motor of any kind was employed; the rapidity of motion, the perfection of the steering, the absence of noise and vibration, are so remarkable that he is utterly at a loss as to what build of car was driven by the stranger."
Copyrighted in 1904 and straddling the science fiction and "shocker" (aka murder mystery) genres, The Motor Pirate has much to teach us about the early days of the automobile, some of it quite intriguing. The 261-page 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea-like novel written by G. Sidney Paternoster is about a highwayman terrorizing the English countryside around London with his beyond-the-state-of-the-art automotive mount.
Ostensibly intended for young people—a fact supported by the inscription in my copy signed "From Mother"—the high quality of the writing means that in all likelihood the novel would have found a much wider audience; a "motor-mad world"—as one Boston Herald reviewer enthuses—"will thoroughly enjoy reading [it]." Though the storyline is predictable, the book is not without some remarkable revelations. Original copies can be had for as little as $10, or you can read it for free here.
Let's tick off some of what's not necessarily surprising in The Motor Pirate, but nevertheless useful to be reminded of:
- Early roads were highly variable in quality from place to place and across weather conditions, both in the United States and in England. In a single drive, one could encounter everything from broad boulevards and bumpy paving stones to deep, rutted quagmires and cow paths. In good weather, dust was a real problem, and driving at any appreciable speed necessitated the driver and passengers wear masks and long coats.
- Piloting an automobile for any significant length of time (in the book, five hours was enough) led to cramping and severe pain in the hands and the head, as well as intense thirst, sickness and even delirium. A recognized remedy was champagne, much as it was for French racer Jules Goux when he drove in the 1913 Indianapolis 500 that he won after stopping to drink the stuff. Whiskey and soda is also carried onboard the protagonist's car in The Motor Pirate, "for emergencies."
- Tires were one of the weakest points of an automobile, frequently falling victim to punctures or catastrophic blowouts. They're seen as enough of a trouble in The Motor Pirate that one of the characters spends his leisure time testing new forms that he's invented in an effort to improve them. Precise steering and engine vibration were also troubling automotive concerns.
- Headlamps were of the acetylene kind, were actually thought bright by users and were often demountable for use as portable torches. Automobiles, at least in England, were obliged to repeatedly toot their horns as they drove through towns to warn people and animals out of the way. And automobile clubs could be employed to assist in road-related concerns, in the case of The Motor Pirate, to search for the criminal who was plundering travelers.
As you might expect from a sci-fi novel about cars, the really cool stuff in The Motor Pirate has to do with automobiles. As seen in the passage at the top, the hallmarks of the rogue's miraculous conveyance are its extreme speed—at one point in the book, it is calculated at 100 MPH—and its relative silence and quality of running.
According to some sources, The Motor Pirate was actually first published earlier, in 1903, a full year before Henry Ford's 999—a far more unwieldy contraption than the Pirate's—set a world land speed record of a comparatively slow 91.37 MPH.
Considering that the protagonist, in an effort to increase his likelihood of capturing the Pirate, purchases the fastest production automobile of the time—a 60-hp Mercedes—this date remains plausible if Paternoster was a fast writer. With a top speed of 68 MPH, the Mercedes is set then to participate in what may be the world's first fictional car chase, one that, stretching from the area around London to the southernmost tip of Cornwall, would easily surpass Bullitt in audacity and excitement.
Given a date of 1903, the means by which the Pirate's car is able to achieve such speeds—aerodynamics and a very special powerplant—are particularly intriguing. Streamlining for production automobiles at the time was non-existent, and airplanes, long credited with inspiring aerodynamics in car design—had yet to take to the air. It would be December before the Wrights' powered aircraft would fly, and even that would be entirely devoid of wind-cheating cones, curves and fairings, though ovoid airships with tapered noses and tails had been around for nearly two centuries.
While the cover art of the 1905 edition, published by Stitt of New York, was likely influenced by the ballistic shapes of three American land-speed record setters: Walter C. Baker's electric Torpedo-1 and Torpedo-2 of 1902 and 1903, and Louis S. Ross's January 1905 twin-Stanley Steamer-powered car, Paternoster's inspiration was probably nautical, a fact born out by the terminology he uses to describe it and the ship-like vehicle depicted in the frontispiece, which has been present since the first edition.
As to the powerplant, and in light of a fairly straightforward plot, discovering its motive principle ends up being the driving—ahem, sorry—force that keeps you reading. Even by today's standards, the Pirate's car's performance is enviable. In 1903, it was intoxicating. Paternoster speaks to the primal part of every speed lover when one of his characters muses…
Imagine what the possession of that car means on a night like this, with the roads clear from John-o'-Groat's to Land's End. Fancy flying onwards at a speed none have ever attempted. Can you not see the road unwinding before you like a reel of white ribbon, hear the sweet musical drone of the wheels in your ears." (46)
I won't spoil the surprise, as The Motor Pirate is worth a read for folks interested in the details, attitudes and dreams of early motoring history. The cutting-edge car in this science-fiction novel is not driven by internal combustion, nor electric power or even magnetism. Let's just say… There's a great future in hydrogen.
Custom Chevrolets find a home in VCCA
Customized 1957 Chevrolet. Photo courtesy Gary Binge.
The people at the Vintage Chevrolet Club of America who thought of this surely have a valid point: Of all the historic Chevys you see on the street, how many of them are completely, totally stock and unmodified? If your answer tends toward "not many," you'll be right in line with the VCCA; since the number of non-modified cars is on the wane, they've come up with a new chapter for Personalized Chevrolets.
What does that mean, exactly? First off, it's a standalone chapter with no geographic boundaries. Second, it will have its own criteria for eligibility, contest judging and rules. The first of the rules is that eligible Chevrolets be street legal, which means no pure racing cars. The degree of acceptable modification has yet to be determined, but the planned basics will limit the chapter to Chevrolet cars and trucks with engines produced either by Chevrolet or by another General Motors division, as per the car's original window sticker. The idea here is to give the potentially thousands and thousands of people with modified Chevrolets their own home in this huge club. Interested, or have ideas? Drop chapter director Gary Binge an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Facts, figures
I was recently asked how many car club members there were in the US. After a little mining of my files and the Hemmings Club Pages, I said 1,629,543…
SC/Rambler = early halo car
We often praise the individual collector car clubs in our articles and other writings, and for good reason – they offer not only a community, but also resources and expertise. For example:
Just today (or yesterday – I forget when people plop things on my desk), I got the latest issue of Tough Americans, the club newsletter for the National American Motors Drivers and Racers Association. Halfway through, they tossed in a copy of a letter from Dave Landrith, of Hurst Performance Research, Inc., to American Motors dealers, detailing exactly how they should go about positioning the new SC/Rambler in their showrooms and use it to sell AMXs and Javelins.
Now where else are you gonna find something like that?
Tall-steppin' Trucks in Texas
Yes, even Chevrolet's versatile, transformable pickup has its own fan club.
One of the things you learn quickly here at Hemmings is that marque clubs exist for every kind of vehicle you've ever heard of, and a lot you've never heard of. Here's an example of that dynamic in action if there ever was one: Come September 17 and 18, the Chevrolet Avalanche Fan Club — yes, one indeed exists — will hold its annual Memorial Get-Together in Cameron, Texas, about halfway between Austin and Waco. Surely, a vehicle and venue have rarely been so ideally complementary. First introduced in 2002, the Avalanche is an upmarket version of the Chevrolet K-series crew cab pickup, loaded with luxury items, cladding galore along the rocker panels and atop the pickup bed sides, the latter sweeping upward to meet the rear cab window. It completely fits with GM's marketing strategy based on luxury trucks and SUVs, which was effective until gas soared past $2.50 a gallon.
But this is Texas, where big, brassy trucks rule, and the Avalanche group — which bills itself as the largest Chevy truck club extant — intends to turn out in force in Cameron, with club members from as far as New Jersey expected to be on hand. So fill that tank with Texas tea and start rollin' up some miles, pardner. For information, call 425-744-8081, or go to www.chevyavalanchefanclub.com

1998 Honda Civic • 170,000 miles
I have had the check engine light on for a little while now and when I had the code scanner read it, the TPS came up. However I have already had the TPS replaced but not the throttle body with it. I just recently found out that it is recommended for my car that both should be replaced at the same time. My car is still having problems with the rev's while I am driving. It's still fluctuating when maintaining a certain speed or rising drastically for a brief moment when shifting gears (auto trans). If I were to take off the throttle body and thoroughly clean it out with brake cleaner and put it back on, will that fix my problem? Or should I go ahead and replace the body altogether?

I have configured CentOS 5.4 as a router/firewall (iptables) as such, and it is working fine:
eth0 - Public IP/Intenet, DHCP
eth1 - 192.168.0.0 internal "net1"
eth2 -10.0.0.0 internal "net2"
I want to add a fourth NIC, eth3, which will be assigned its own Public IP/Internet address (thru DHCP; my ISP provides two). The purpose it to route all net1's internet-bound traffic through eth0, and all of net2's internet traffic to eth3. This allows me to use one router/firewall machine instead of two separate ones.
I anticipate that without some specific routing instructions, the default route will be eth0 for all net1 and net2 internet traffic (eth3 will be ignored).
I thought of using just one NIC (eth0) but create an alias (eth0:0), but IPtables (and possible DHCP) can't differentiate between the two (besides, nics are inexpensive).
Is there a way to do this through routing commands, or even use iptables prerouting/forward functions (or is using iptables problematic)?
