Spent 1 night here. Room was quite large and very clean. Owners very helpful and always looking at ways to assist. Motel was booked out when we stayed so lots of people. Close to everything. Try to get a room towards the back of the building away from the road noise. Yes it is in the flight path of major airport but no problems at night and reasonably quiet.
?A nice clean motel room with a new bathroom?. Provided a small motel fridge, TV and ?table for two. There are seats outside the units for those that wish to smoke, making it more suitable for smokers than none smokers. ?It is noisy at times due to being ?close to the ?flight path? ?of the nearby Coolangatta airport?. The? bed was a bit soft for me but ?it maybe Ok for ?others ?who ?may like it soft. ?The internet was complementary though a bit erratic ??when using iPhones? ??(due to being in a regional area?)?. Karen at reception is welcoming and very friendly. With the exception of daytime aircraft noise this is a reasonable 3-4 star, good value and clean ??motel?.
We usually stay here once a year and the service and rooms are always top notch. They really look after their customers to make sure you are comfortable. The beds are super comfy to the point where i asked what brand it was. See you again next year!
We were greeted by a lovely, bubbly lady who was a wealth of information regarding food options, etc. Our room was very nice with a lovely upgraded bathroom. Comfortable bed and easy parking. Clean premises with easy to use air conditioning and TV. Also the Motel has very easy access to the Gold Coast airport which is only 10 minutes away. Thanks
This is a modern type motel as it's been refurbished. It's clean, comfortable and well maintained Good rate after booking only upon arrival in Tweed Heads. Continental breakfast for a little extra delivered to room. Out of the hustle of Tweed itself so very quiet after dark. Owner and staff delightful. Thank you for looking after me!
The rooms are so clean and management so willing to ensure your stay is perfect. No noise from the Kennedy Drive and position is so central. A plug for Ned Kelly's Pizza, just up the road. So tasteful and fresh. Both highly recommended.
Brilliant hotel, clean and friendly We were on a camping holiday towing our van and wanted accomodation that had room for it off the road overnight. Confirmed they did and arrived to find a large area available. Nice room upstairs with a comfy bed, thick towels, coffee and biscuits provided. Will return
We wanted to stay close to the Coolongatta Golf Club for a combined family reunion and Birthday. Checked out other motels in the area and decided on the Best Western Kennedy Drive Motel. We were not disappointed, Karen the owner took our booking and we were upgraded to a delux room simply by booking directly with the motel. All rooms have just been upgraded new matresses and renovated bathrooms. Housekeeping staff were excellent all requests were attended to promptly. The relief manager on duty was just as helpful, each day when she saw us she enquired if there was anything we wanted to make our stay more comfortable. Rooms are spotless and would definitely recommend this motel which is located close to all amenities and clubs in the area. The airport is close and aircraft do frequently land and take off and noise is not a problem which has been stated in other reviews.
This is our second stay here for business. The rooms are lovely and clean and well set out. Staff are super friendly and the beds and pillows are sooo comfortable! Will definitely be back. Highly recommend.
the room was big, clean and very comfortable, the hotel staff - Karen mainly was superb, very attentative, and made the stay very comfortable and warm. I will definitely stay there again and again, the hotel had all the basic but very good amenities, breaky avail, laundry services avail.
Super friendly owners and very obliging. Exceptionally clean room. Older premises but nicely renovated. Great value continental breakfast that was only$10 extra for the room. Good location. Ideal for passing through. Not really set out for extended stay. Well worth it.
Booked through TripAdvisor based on excellent reviews and price. Easy process, quickly confirmed by the motel email who also sent great directions. Booking in on arrival was fast and friendly and Karen was happy to recommend places for dinner to suit our budget. Loved the shade sails over car parks which also helped keep the hot Qld sun off the motel windows. Real bottles of milk was a welcome touch. Our triple room was very clean, modern, spacious and well presented. There were plenty of sockets to charge all our devices and nice cold air conditioning. Bath towels thick and fluffy and sheets crisp and clean. Overnight was extremely quiet - no road noise at all and minimal noise from neighbouring rooms. There are upstairs rooms so if you need ground floor access make sure you ask when booking. An interesting and important thing to note is the close proximity to the Qld border (and thr airport) but the motel is in NSW and on NSW Daylight saving time. We would definitely book again.
Good position. Well appointed rooms. Very roomy, modern & clean. Owner, Karen was the perfect host, suggested a place for lunch & dinner. Both were very good & close by! Another added touch in our room on arrival was a sachet called a "grooming kit", how cute was that! It included nail file, cotton buds, makeup removal pads and a little sewing kit. Very thoughtful, would definitely stay again.
My boyfriend and I chose this cute motel late night while driving up to Brisbane. Karen was so helpful! She left specific instructions on our phones on how to pick up the key and also left milk for us. We also had a voucher number for wifi. Karen also left a map for us with local restaurants and scenic sights nearby. Would definitely recommend just for the hospitality!
Great staff, very friendly and helpful. The rooms have gone through an upgrade with new bathroom and a very comfy bed. Very good value for money here and only 5 minutes from Coolangatta Beach. They have all the little extras you come to expect like free WiFi, Foxtel, tea, coffee and biscuits.
To catch an early flight the next day, we decided to stay near the airport for a night. Best western motel was quite near the pier for tweed river cruises and the seagulls club. It was only a 5-min drive to the airport. In about 10 minutes' drive, there is a tweed mall with a Woolsworth & a Coles attached to a petrol station. We booked a 2-bedroom suite at A$200 and it was enough to accommodate 5 of us with 2 King beds & 1 single bed. Check in was fast & easy and the staff was very nice and helpful. Wifi was strong and it has all basic amenities we need. The suite, though a little dark & stuffy, is very clean. The cleanliness has made up for the unpleasant strong odor of air freshener that filled the suite. We all had a good sleep there. At this price, it is a fair choice for a night's stay.
Upon arrive was greeted by Karen who was very welcoming & friendly. My room was upstairs and away from the main road so was very quiet. Room & amenities where very clean. Would definitely stay here again as it was also close to everything. Room was cleaned every day (I stayed for 4 days) and fresh towels where supplied daily. Great customer service.
Our flight from Coolangatta was cancelled and we needed a reasonably cheap room for the night. The manager Karen was lovely and helpful. Room was small and basic but for a small family room for AUD$190 we were very happy and comfortable. Had a great sleep and Karen organised a taxi for us for 5am so that was a great help.
Well looked after motel close to the NSW and Qld border attractions.Room was extremely clean and quite well appointed. Owners are very helpful and easy to deal with. Close to many food options . Overall would not hesitate to use as as base for a visit to the Tweed again.
I was very impressed by the size & comfort of the room. Modern plus the staff were very helpful in suggesting dining options for dinner. Location was convenient to the M1 & ideal stop-over on our trip home from Queensland.
Great service, super helpful staff who are well informed of all the local attractions and services. Rooms were clean and fresh, WIFI internet was excellent. I would stay here again for work or pleasure.
We stayed on Kennedy Drive as it was close to a wedding we were attending. The staff were helpful and friendly, rooms clean, beds were ever so comfortable. There was TV, aircon, iron and board, coffee and tea facilities and a pool. Great access on and off the M1 motorway. Free wi-fi during your stay a passcode is given to you on check in. Kennedy Drive will flood during severe rains and king tides.
Not the first time i have stayed here and wont be the last . Friendly greeting on arrival and very well laid out clean rooms . Far enough of the motorway to not hear noise , but close enough to get back on driving thru to Cairns
We have stayed the second time now at the Best Western Kennedy Drive Motel. Very friendly staff and the room was very clean. We were trying to break out the journey to the Gold Coast airport and stayed the night before we flew out. Not only can you leave your car there (small charge) friendly Karen drops you and picks you up at the GC airport! Would always stay here if I had an early flight from the GC.
Stayed here overnight with my husband & son- room was ok-very basic, bed was ok, bathroom had had a cheap makeover, was clean. Good for quick overnight stay, would not recommend for longer. RV reception was ver hit and miss, could hear the planes very clearly, however the fi stop between 11pm & 6am
The reception lady is so, so lovely and nice and helpful by suggesting food places and giving advice on places to travel. Such clean room and easy friendly establishment. Definitely a placecworth visiting again and again.
The room was very clean, everything worked very well and the staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. We would never hesitate to stay there again, should we be passing through this part of the country again.
I booked last minute for a night here. I was impressed from the beginning. Karen was fabulous and made me feel at home. The room was perfect for a night with those comfortable king coiled beds and fridge for keeping those treats chilled. I would recommend this hotel to anyone in the area. Thank you for making my stay fabulous.
This is our second visit here. We were dropping off our daughter in law at the airport and decided to stay the night before heading off to Brisbane for another event. Karen was most welcoming and remembered our previous stay and greeted me by my first name. She is truly a lovely, friendly person. On collecting our large bottle of milk, we entered our room which was immaculate as per last time. On our return from the airport, which is only a five minute drive away, we caught the free bus to the Seagulls Club where we enjoyed a lovely meal to finish off our day. We will always return to this Motel whenever we need to travel to the airport because the service is good, the rooms are clean and the WiFi is excellent!
This is an average motel with small rooms and basic amenities. It's ok for 1 night stop over, but I wouldn't recommend it for longer than that. The rooms seem to be clean with air-con, microwave and small fridge. The reception desk is helpful.
Stayed overnight on our way further north. Is close to the motorway but is still a quiet motel with no traffic noise. Close to Seagulls Club for a nice dinner. Very friendly staff, clean and comfortable room and very reasonable rates. Would stay here again.
I have stayed in many places around the world and I would throughly recommend this motel. It was very clean and very cozy. I loved the uniqueness of the brickwork in the room.The only sad thing was that I only stayed one night. It is very close to the airport which is a bonus when you have an early flight. The service was amazing. They could not do enough to for you. So very helpful. I will stay there again and I will certainly be recommending this to everyone I know that travels to Australia. Thank you for your hospitality.
Great service when we arrived and so helpful 2nd time there now and we will be back again best place in tweed heads to stay that's for sure. Also our son loved the pool very much could not get him out
I stayed for an overnighter for next day's trip overseas. The airport shuttle service was excellent. Very friendly and welcoming staff, helped with how to get to nearby eateries and sceneries. . . . .
We had to check in late at night, a nice message was left with our key. We got into the room and were impressed! It had everything you'd need and more! Bed was very comfortable, we had a great sleep and will certainly stay again if in the area! There's seems to be a fair difference between a 3 star and a 3.5 as the hotel was quite a bit nicer than most 3 star hotels we usually stay in.
Easy location to find off the main freeway. Room was well equipped with great comfy beds. Love it when a hotel supplies biscuits to accompany a cuppa. Unfortunately the hotel is under the plane flight path. They do stop overnight but were a morning wake up call.
We stayed here by chance after making a wrong booking at another hotel in Surfers Paradise and found the rest of the Gold Coast booked out. So we ended up at this property where we will stay the next time we fly out. They offer car parking while you are away at 1/2 the price of the big carpark operators and provide a shuttle service to and from the airport. We paid about $120.00 for the night and could have saved $80.00 on our parking should we have known about their parking services. We were very pleased with our nights stay.
Great Hotel, Love staff, Karen went above to make the stay more comfortable, Perfect accommodation for a overnight stop before heading out to the gold coast airport for a early morning flight/shift, will defiantly stay here again
Excellent lighting for reading, toaster, microwave, kettle, Spotless room, attractive decor, pool, wonderfully comfortable bed, handy to Gold Coast and Northern NSW beaches, shopping centres, eating places, well priced, lovely host.
What a find! We were blown away by the overall presentation. Spotless, spacious and very friendly staff. We appreciated the better range of crockery, the provision of a microwave and quality bedding. Convenient location.
We checked into Best Western for the night on our way to Queensland it was easy to find and near main roads. The room was clean and the bed and pillows were very comfortable, tea and coffee facilities were available with real milk not long life. The room also had a microwave and toaster. The Motel is a short drive from Seagulls club if you want to get dinner. It is located under the flight path for the Gold Coast air port however this was not a problem the few planes going over were not loud and the air port closes overnight. You need to be aware that your phone may change to Queensland time so if you need to be somewhere at a particular time keep an eye on this.
Great little find! We love our Best Western accommodation and were delighted to find Kennedy Drive Motel. Apart from always comfy "king koil" beds, our room was self contained which was an added (cost saving) bonus. Also friendly and thoughtful staff was most appreciated.
What a surprise! Helpful, friendly staff. Bed so comfortable just spotless throughout! No problems now choosing a motel on the Gold Coast this is a pearler! Leave the car at the motel catch a shuttle bus to a club 5 minutes away!
We stayed here for one night while heading further north. This is our 2nd visit and we will definitely be back again. Spotlessly clean, and the unit also has a microwave, plates, glasses and cutlery, which comes in handy. The little things are thought of- more so than some expensive places we have stayed in! Great wifi and the staff go out of their way to be accommodating.
The staff.. wow so friendly and helpful. We called to book a room while on the road. We needed a late check in which was made so easy by reception over the phone. Details for how to pick up keys late and directions from the motorway were texted to us after booking. Room was lovely with quality bedding. The only downside is the hotel is directly under the flight path for the airport that gave us an early wake up call. Regardless, would stay there again. Great service ??
My family and I stayed a week here and found the staff very friendly and helpful and the location ideal for proximity to airport and places to visit. The room was comfortable and clean. The swimming pool was well maintained and enjoyed daily by us. Everything was in working order and exactly what we needed to have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The rooms were also secure, with Internet, tv, microwave, fridge, toaster and air conditioning. The cleaners were available to clean and change towels daily. A great stay!
This motel and the staff are fantastic. I stay away from home for a majority of the month on business and this place is a haven... Great Beds, Linen, Pillows, all very important to me when I am away from home so much. The staff are Friendly, helpful and concerned about what they can do to make the stay bettter. Great place to stay.
Best Western Kennedy Drive is a well-maintained, clean and reasonably priced hotel. It is close to the airport but due to the time difference between NSW and QLD, the planes don't start till 7am, and not 6am.
Handy if needing to stay close to airport. Great service, great basic room for such a cheap price! Happy with our stay! Customer service was great, employees were friendly and helpful. Easy to use bus close by! $5 for ride provided by motel to airport which is ideal.
An older style property but fenovated bathroom,new beds, very clean and very comfortable. Easy to locate, just off Motorway,and very welcoming Manager,who was very helpful. We enjoyed our stay and felt that our custom was valued.would definitely stay here again.
We stayed for only one night, but it was a good and clean hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. the rooms were big, the internet connection good - unfortunately we did not have time to use the pool and other facilities.
We were made to feel very welcome as soon as we walked through the door. Beautiful lady Karen at the front desk welcomed us & made us feel at home. Rooms are super clean & beds are comfortable. Highly recommended.
Fantastic little motel. The room and bathrooms are very clean. We have stayed in a lot of hotels and motels all over Australia everything from cheap to expensive , but this is the first time time that I would give someone an excellent for cleanliness
Staff are very welcoming and rooms presented to a high standard. Whilst rooms are not large, the beds are very comfy and has all the needed amenities. Away from the water, Clubs and other motels but easy drive nonetheless.
Check in friendly, quick & simple. Room clean, good facilities, comfortable bed but not especially keen on the exposed brick walls. Don't stay here if you're not used to aircraft noise & want to sleep past 7 am. It's right on the flight path from the airport & has nothing to suppress the noise like a Sydney airport hotel.
This was one of the best motels I have ever had the pleasure of staying. The bed was lovely and comfortable, the rooms quiet and cool and the staff very friendly. I didn't try the pool but it looked nice and inviting. Good movie channels and close to the airport.
Receptionist is very friendly and know exactly which place to recommend. Very relaxing and quiet place. The motel is just about 1.2 km away at seagull. Enjoyed the night and we actually had a good feed at star buffet
From the moment we booked our room over the phone nothing was too much trouble. Received a very warm welcome on arrival and was offered fresh milk. The room was lovely and was spotless. We even had a new Queen bed which was very comfortable.
We booked online without seeing this Hotel. The service we received on check in was of a very high standard. We were also amazed by the level of cleanliness and space in our room. It was a pleasure staying here and could not fault anything.
very good excellent value friendly staff bit out of the way but makes up for it in every other way if you want a quality motel at a good price this is it very handy to many locations and easy to get to if coming from south
A well run and friendly motel. However as a light sleeper there was lots of noise. Hardly had my head on the pillow when the first of many planes flew overhead on final approach into Gold Coast airport. However for the price you won't find anywhere as friendly and rooms were basic, offered reasonable space and were clean. Would recommend to the budget conscience or those passing through for a night.
Stayed for five nights. Very friendly and helpful service with good advice about eating out. Convenient location (if you have a car). Rooms were clean and reasonably modern although our room was a bit small.
Extremely friendly welcome on arrival with great suggestion for eating locally. Upstairs room was big and very peaceful sitting on veranda watching the thunder storms. Would definitely stay again and go back to Seagulls club for a great meal.
Hospitality redefined. Thank you Karen for your outstanding service. The proximity of the property to the airport suited our needs perfectly. Late international flight required late check in at the property and this was all pre arranged with no fuss. In fact nothing appeared to be too much trouble for management. Highly recommended property.
Great place friendly staff.Very clean throughout .Bbq facility including outside dinning table & cover.loverly swimming pool shadded with deck chairs and tables.Close to very fresh seafood shops , bakery and Chemist.Top fishing spot 5 minute walk.
Great location if you're flying out of Gold Coast Airport as we were. Easy access off the Pacific Highway, friendly, helpful check in, lovely receptionist. The rooms are well equipped and spotlessly clean. Plenty of places to eat nearby, or you can order in. Good price too, we will certainly be back again.
This is our home from home when we travel - flying out of OOL. Ever friendly, helpful and the park and fly is a wonderful deal. Karen even washed our car for us last trip! The rooms are very comfortable, there are food outlets within a couple of minutes walk.
I have stayed at Vikki's motel it is great she doesn't make u put down money & if you cancel on the day you don't have to pay that day off. Vikki will help you out in anyway possible. She has very friendly dogs I would recommend this place to any interstate person/s or international person/s 5/5 stars
Spent a night there, Karen was so helpful from the minute I spoke to her over the phone. She organized a Pizza and advised everything I need to be aware of before getting to hotel. No one will give you such a personnel service. Rooms are clean, well maintained, you get everything you need. At the end she went to drop me off to the Airport, free ride YAY!
Had an overnight stay here. Room is clean and well maintained. Bed was comfy and had a good sleep. The owner was very friendly and had many good recommendedations. I am a light sleeper so I did get woken up by the planes in the morning. Should of guessed with the proximity tho. Free biscuits were cool
Clean, comfortable and great location to airport parking for an early morning flight. They do also offer stay and park option (which I didn't find out until we arrived). Would definitely recommend for overnight stop and even a for a few days as not too far from the ocean, restaurants & shops.
A great room for two, with a couch, padded chairs and table, basic kitchen utensils and plates, microwave, and wifi. A well-arranged room made this stay enjoyable. Friendly, informative hosts. Nearby Seagulls for buffet dinner was well worth it. Just off the highway near the airport and away from the busy city centre made this a great location, worthy of Best Western.
Room was on the small side, but fine for 2. It was well equipped, very clean and comfortable. The bed was fabulous, very comfortable. The real gem at this motel is Karen the host. She was helpful and friendly when we booked the room, and was extremely helpful when we arrived and booked in. She gave advise about local restaurants and tips about getting around the area. Really appreciated.
This motel is great, i stayed for business but I would also stay with the family if traveling in the area. the rooms are good and the beds are what you would find in a 4 or 5 star motel. Great value with great hosts.
From the very first minute that I spoke with Karen to enquire about a vacancy at short notice she were extremely helpful and very personable. Following up with me and ensuring I got a ground floor room was awesome. The motel was clean, secure and comfortable. Thankyou again I'll be sure to recommend your motel!!
My friend and I stayed here for the weekend and we were pleasantly surprised with the size of the room, its cleanliness and its facilities. Karen, the hostess, provided us with bus timetables and any information we asked for. She even took us to the airport on the day of our departure. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
This is a nice motel with nice clean comfortable room. The people are very friendly and helpful. We will be back next time we are in Tweed Heads / Coolangatta. We highly recommend this motel. Thank you

First page wooo! I promise to be neater in the future. I'm still learning, especially as an already messy painter.
Immediately I am drawn in. Your art style really shines through
Oh gosh oh gosh oh gosh
I am so exited for this, broski. Also I love your colors and the fact that you are doing this traditionally because it is gorgeous.
P.S. I for one am totally okay with messy painting. Just sayin'.
Also for a moment I thought his boxes said "Robotech." And they didn't DAMN YOU GETTING MY NERDY HOPES UP!

| FIAT Palio 1.2 - Issues Hello All, I am starting this thread exclusively to discuss Problem with Fiat Palio. This thread should answer all the querries related to Palio. To start with I have couple of issue with my Palio. I am looking forward for the answers/solutions from fellow BHPians. 1) I get hear a some kind of Explosions happening in my Engine. What is it. 2) Need to replace Front Wheel Bearing. Which Brand is the best one and the cost. I was quoted the price of 650 each with a local accessory shop (Brand JKB or some thing don't remember exactly). 3) Should change the lighting of the car, Searched foe VisionPlus but could not get that. Phillips Essential Rally H1 100W /12v & H7 80W/12V are currently available. Is it advisable to use they in My Fiat Palio. They say Cutout is not required. |
14th September 2009, 14:02 | #2 |
Distinguished - BHPian | Any upgrade for electricals like more powerful horns and lights (as they will draw more current than stock ones) will need a relay (cut-out). Is it SKB? |

| Explosions ? Air fuel mixture does burn in the cylinder in a petrol engine on application of spark,but it is a clean burn, i.e it does not burn explosively. 1) If you are hearing it or feeling it, it could be the knocking effect, which causes detonation of air fuel mixture in some pockets. One reaosn could be due to adulterated fuel (having low octane content). There could be others too. It could also happen if you are driving in wrong gears (though very rare) ... 2) It could also be pre-ignition, i.e. fuel air mixture exploding before spark - Happens when areas in the combustion chamber are very hot. Please take it to a qualified service station to get it checked. Could be carbon deposits causing issue 2. Last edited by Seeler_Rebeiro : 14th September 2009 at 14:29. |

BHPian | Well, explosions from engine mean something wrong with combustion ? Probably get a good premium fuel and try if it reduces.. else try using some octane boosters (few superbikers use these stuff, to increase octane content).. i dont know how much that helps though How old is your car? If it is too old, may be you need to get the spark plugs cleaned and checked as well. I heard engine decarb helps as well, not sure. If you are from Hyd, I would suggest visiting Solar Automobiles (balanagar), theres a guy Gangi Reddy, who used to work wid anuroop auto and now has his own FIAT garage... he does a good job and knows wat he is doing. So pay a visit and i hope it helps |

BHPian | 1) Explosions happening in my Engine - 7 year old car, but mileage? Think there could be issue of carbon deposits or the pistons itself in bad shape. Believe me all - I have seen the engine of a Palio in front of my eyes being opened - where only three cylinders had been running, the fourth was absolutely shiny new - god knows what the owner/driver was doing with his car. Better get it checked and the fuel which you use. 2) Front Wheel Bearing - SKF is a good brand. But would advise you to get it done at A.S.S. are there are plenty of spurious bearings available in the market - don't get conned while buying one. 3) lighting of the car - I am also in search of the elusive solution to this issue! |

But you do need to quickly take it to a good service center. Do not wait long or the issue may compound. Petrol engines cannot take these explosions unlike diesel engines. | |

one of the Injectors maybe faulty. better get it checked before other damages occur. also get the spark plugs cleaned or better replaced if its old, its very cheap. if you need to replace the injectors do pm me I know a place where you can get good price for palio injectors. | |

Senior - BHPian | There are several workshops and mechanics in Hyderabad who do a good job on Fiats and Palios. I have not tried Solar but have heard several complaints about them, most PUGgers in Hyderabad were going to Solar but have slowly started moving away. The 'explosion' could be some kind of a misfire, if you have a mechanic in Mumbai - get the spark plugs checked and replaced if necessary, also have the plug leads checked and replaced if necessary. If it is a kind of a booming noise it is probably pre-ignition due to engine being in advance or carbon deposits. A choked air filter too could cause some booming noises. If you are planning to drive the car to Hyderabad from Mumbai, I suggest you add 1 ml to 2 ml of 2t oil to every litre of petrol in the tank just before you get onto the expressway (i.e. about 50 ml of oil to a tankful of petrol). Drive normally and keep varying the engine speeds. Refuel with regular petrol thereafter and most of the carbon deposits will be flushed out by the time you reach Hyderabad. Once you reach Hyderabad please contact Srinivas (contact info sent in PM). If you do not want to fit a cut out stick to either Philips X-treme Power or Osram Nightbreakers (not the Vision series from Philips). Higher wattage bulbs will require a cut-out (relay). Ask your mechanic to source the wheel bearings for you. There are several good brands (and a few bad ones). Most good mechanics can spot a bad bearing by look/feel. Ideally buy all parts from a reliable shop who does not deal with spurious/re-conditioned parts. Cheers, |

BTW, Nightbreakers have a very good spread and throw. It is of the same wattage, but more powerful. It is expensive at abt 1300 a pair. I got myself a pair of Flosser silver tip bulbs of 70w each for the low beam . and 90w phillips for the high beam. I dont normally use high beam and hence didnt change the relay till recently. You can manage without relay if you dont tend to use the high beam becoz the existing relay/fuse is designed to handle more than the stock setup. It didnt give me any problem. But i suggest nightbreakers if you dont want to use relay. | |

Palmyrah palms become victims of EPDP[TamilNet, Wednesday, 18 March 1998, 23:59 GMT]The EPDP is cutting down a large number of Palmyrah palms surrounding its camp in Madaththuveli in the island of Pungudutheevu off Jaffna complained residents today. More than five hundred full grown Palmyrah palms in the area have been cut down by the EPDP cadres for security reasons said a member of the Pungudutheevu Vigilance Committee. His colleagues said that more than two thousand Palmyrah palms in the islands are expected to be cut down soon. The EPDP has been vociferous in its protests over the wanton destruction of the Palmyrah by the Sri Lankan army which finds the straight strong logs of the palm useful for building bunkers. The group has complained in the past that the environmental balance of the peninsula could be affected seriously as the Palmyrah is central to its ecology. The EPDP announced a program last year to plant a million Plamyrah saplings in Jaffna. |

Mirror, mirror on the door … That doesn't sound right, but actually, it's a stylish way to make a dramatic change in a room with a closet. Instead of boring flat door panels you can take advantage of the reflective quality of mirrors and enhance the room while at the same time make the space appear larger and provide a convenient way to check appearances.
A carpenter will charge $510 to remove the old door panels and hardware and install a new high end 5-foot-wide sliding bypass mirror closet door and operating hardware. If you have some carpentry experience, you can do the job for $415, the cost of the unit, and save 18 percent. It's a job you can do in a few hours and requires only a few tools: tape measure, Phillips screwdriver and a drill with bits. The job involves these steps: removing the old door and its hardware, installing the new roller hardware at the top of the door opening and on the floor, and then inserting the door panels between the tracks. Usually some minor adjustments are needed to the roller hardware that holds the door in the overhead tracks to compensate for a door frame that is not perfectly square.
Before you go shopping for a mirror door replacement, measure the height and width of the opening. The standard height for sliding closet doors is 80-81 inches and they come in widths ranging from four 8 feet. Keep that in mind when you're planning your job.
While you can replace the doors of a closet without removing what's inside, you'll find it's easier to work on the hardware by removing anything on the floor near it so you can move around it.
You'll find a wide selection of styles - some framed in wood, others in a range of finishes including white, pearl, gray and brass - sold at home, bathroom and design centers.
Now you know the average cost to replace a sliding mirror door, which includes the labor and material, and what's involved, so you can decide to do it yourself or hire a contractor. Don't forget to adjust the cost to where you live by adding your ZIP Code.

July 22, 2011 Collateral DamageSticks and Stones
Stephen Drew, ARI (Right ankle surgery) [AGL: 65, ATD: TBD] (Explanation) Even though initially the injury was thought to be from contact with the catcher's shin guards, the video clearly shows that the injury process was already in motion, as the ligaments are being sprained prior to contact. It was the continued rotational force between the ground and the body—not the compressive force of the shin guard—that caused the fracture. Drew's surgery will include a plate and three screws, obviously knocking him out for the rest of the year. In the long term it should not affect his offensive production significantly, but his range in the field may be affected for a time. Often in these cases, short quick bursts of speed take time to return to pre-surgical levels, even absent complications similar to those seen in Kendrys Morales. Sometimes, the quick bursts never come back, and the player is not as quick and agile as before.
Grady Sizemore, CLE (Sports Hhernia surgery) [AGL: 46, ATD: +.046] Sports hernias simply aren't something that most people can play with for long before the pain becomes too intense and needs to become addressed. The ATD above suggests that performance suffers during the period before the move to the disabled list and improves after the problem has been addressed. Sizemore's hernia will keep him out for the next six to eight weeks, which will give both his abdomen and knee a chance to heal.
Carlos Gomez, MIL (Fractured left clavicle) [AGL: 55, ATD: +.040]
Carlos Gonzalez, COL (Right wrist inflammation) [AGL: 3 (21DL), ATD: +.023(+.010DL)] This complex is mainly composed of a disc and several ligaments that keep it in place. It is only 5 mm thick, but it is the main stabilizer to the distal radioulnar ulnar joint on that side of the wrist and permits most motions of the wrist to occur. Injuries to this structure can be difficult to identify, and they're commonly misdiagnosed as recurrent simple sprains that end up requiring surgery. They can be difficult to pick up on MRI, leading to further imaging after the wrist continues to cause problems. After leaving the game on Thursday with a painful right wrist, Gonzalez went straight for an MRI to try to tease out the cause for the continued pain. The initial diagnosis of inflammation of the ligaments is not very specific, but it could include an injury to the TFCC. It's becoming obvious that Gonzalez needs more than a few days here and there to resolve the issue fully, so even if the TFCC is not injured, there is a chance that he will end up on the disabled list.
Orlando Hudson, SDN (Unconsciousness) [AGL: TBD, ATD: +.TBD] Flesh Wounds: Fernando Rodney should be activated in the next few days from a strained back... Brandon Kintzler will have the surgery for the stress fracture in his elbow, ending his season... Brad Thomas has been shut down from throwing for the next four weeks, since his elbow continues to be inflamed from a small spur... Kyle Lohse is having a "finger issue" examined, according to Tony La Russa, which could mean anything from a tendon injury to a circulatory issue. More details to come... Jordan Schafer was scratched yesterday because of a left middle finger sprain after sliding headfirst on Wednesday... Jason Bay is day-to-day with a tight right hamstring.

From the moment I got my computer online, I was searching out Porn. I watched movies, watching everything from group fucks to bestiality. One day I was watching some girl sucking off a Great Dane. Even this turned me on. Everything turned me on especially oral sex.
I've always loved oral sex but my girlfriends often shied away from it. Hell I had two girlfriends start complaining about TMJ saying it hurt too much to give me head. I'm no monster, about 7 inches of healthy cock, so I can't understand what the problem is. I assumed that was why I was always turn on by watching a big cock get sucked dry.
Sooner or later I started wondering to gay porn sites, watching men suck off men. I was so hard I could burst. I had to find out why, so I started chatting with the gays.
Late at night, when the folks were asleep, I'd be sitting at my computer with my dick in hand, all wet from spit and pre-cum. Typing one handed while I talked some queer through orgasm.
Curious: Can you feel my hot breath on your huge throbbing cock....my tongue streaking across the head tickling your slit.
random gay: Ohhhhhhhh Yeaaaaaah!
Curious: Mmmmmmmm I love the taste of your cock... I slide it into my mouth, slowly, one inch at a time. Oh I can feel it in the back of my throat.. Almost....mmmmmmmmmm I can feel your heavy sack on my chin as I swallow you whole.
random gay: Oh Yesssss...more...please don't stop.
Curious: I draw you out to the very tip very slowly sucking you, then thrust you into my mouth....over and over...slowly draw you out before swallowing you again...
random gay: Oh god I'm gonna.....
Curious: I rub the sensitive underside of you with my slick fingers as I fuck you with my mouth....getting faster and faster sucking you so hard my cheeks hurt.... I want to taste you...come on let me taste you...
random gay: Here i cum...I'm gonna
Curious: Cum for me ..... flood me with that hot spunk.....MMMmmmmmm I want it!!!
random gay: Cumminnnggggggg!!!!!
Many nights I'd spend on the computer, a cyber-cock-slut, sucking every guy who wanted me to, wanting to taste the real thing.
Then it happened. I met some guy who was minutes from my house, he had a big white van and he wanted to meet me for his first gay experience.
I shot out my door like a flash of light, grabbing my jacket and my black-jack (you never know what kind of freak some internet lover could turn out to be) on the way out. I met him in a dark parking lot. We exchanged a clumsy greeting, I could tell he was as nervous as I was, and got into the back of his van.
His name was Jason, he was a carpenter and had a nice build. Jason was wearing a pair of blue sweats, and a tee shirt. I could barely look at more than his crotch.
Just to be me, I asked him if he was sure he wanted to go through with it. In answer he just grabbed my crotch and felt my hardening cock.
"You can unwrap it if you want," I said as I started to feel his tool through his flimsy sweats. He unclasped my jeans and reaching in yanked me out. He started to jerk my off roughly, tugging my skin farther than it wanted to go.
After a moment he got scared, and said he couldn't go on...he didn't want to suck a cock. I was so disappointed and still horny as hell. I asked if I could suck his (god I wanted it) and he just ripped down his sweats in response.
There I was face to face with his impressive tool. An inch and a half thick and as long as mine glaring at me through his foreskin. Not only was this the first time I touched a penis other than my own, it was the first uncircumcised prick I have ever seen. I dove on it, I wanted to feel it in my mouth. The skin felt loose over his hard shaft, sliding up and down his pole as my lips surrounded the head. My other hand sought out his heavy balls gently rolling them in my hand. I opened my eyes to see my hand, this hand that had touched only pussy and myself in sexual bliss, curled around his big cock as I sucked him.
Again he grabbed my cock, jerking my roughly, pulling me till it hurt. Suddenly I felt his hot breath on my dick, making me throb for a hot wet mouth to replace his calloused hand.
I continued to suck this monster cock, taking it all the way into my mouth till my nose touched his balls. I could feel him expand in my mouth just as I could tell I was right at his lips. He was going to give me his seed. I had been waiting a long time to feel this, to taste his spunk.
Just as I readied myself for the flood from his big heavy balls, He pushed me off of him.
Jason said he couldn't go on, afraid it would mean he's gay. In other words he was scared because he enjoyed it too much.
Disappointed, I told him it was alright. "I'll be happy to finish what I started, but I won't force you," I said.
He apologized and we parted ways. I got back into my little sports car and drove home to masturbate to the memories of that big hairy cock in my mouth, imagining the feeling of his hot salty cum filling my belly.
It wasn't long before I got the chance to explore more, but that's another story.

@Maria Del Russo Hi, thank your for your tip, indeed It is good to be careful with those razor
@Icequeen81 I swear by men's razors! They give a much closer shave and my legs feel smoother for longer. Just make sure you're gentle when you're using the razor on your legs and underarms... more blades means more opportunity for nicks!
I used to wear men deo, It last longer, Indeed they have products that work faster, but that razor lotion and lotion sound like something I have to give it a try

UPDATE 3-In split from SocGen, TCW's fortunes seen set to rise
By Greg Roumeliotis and Jessica Toonkel and Jennifer Ablan
* CFTC has proposed exemptions for derivatives users
* SEC to meet Dec. 15 to consider similar exemptions
By Christopher Doering and Rachelle Younglai
WASHINGTON, Dec 10 U.S. companies on Friday told regulators they should not be forced to set aside funds to help manage their derivatives as doing so would divert vital cash needed to grow their operations.
Representatives from firms including Morgan Stanley (MS.N), and Chesapeake Energy (CHK.N), said they support new measures to reduce market risk but margin and capital requirements could curtail economic growth by curtailing investments in items such as new oil wells.
"We think it's more important to keep the money in the business than someone else's pocket," Jim Heis, a risk management director with Noble Energy (NBL.N), said at a roundtable hosted by regulators. "We feel that imposing margin requirements would divert capital away from capital drilling program," he said.
Elliot Chambers, assistant treasurer with Chesapeake Energy, told the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission posting cash to counterparties rather than expanding "would be disastrous" for the long-term health of the business.
U.S. regulators are scrambling to implement dozens of proposals as part of a broader push to overhaul the $600 trillion over-the-counter swaps market mandated under the Dodd-Frank financial law enacted in July. The market was blamed for aggravating the global economic crisis.
The new law allows "end-users" such as manufacturers that use swaps to hedge "commercial risk" to be exempt from mandatory clearing requirements. The bill prohibits most financial entities from receiving a clearing exemption.
"This particular set of rules that we're required to adopt may be as challenging as any we're going to grapple with," said John Ramsay, the SEC's deputy director of the trading and markets division.
The CFTC, which is working with the SEC to draft dozens of rules to tighten oversight of the OTC market, proposed on Thursday a rule for end users.
It said they could be exempt if at least one party to the swap transaction is not a financial entity, information is provided on how the firm meets its financial obligations associated with entering into non-cleared swaps, and the swap is being used to hedge or mitigate commercial risk.
The SEC is expected to meet Dec. 15 to consider similar exemptions for end users.
Steve O'Connor, a managing director with Morgan Stanley, said the margin requirements could be especially hard for those not used to having to post margin.
"It could put a new demand for financial resources on those end users," he said. "There is a trade off between cost to the end user and systemic reduction angle."

Papers Published
- Dowell, Earl H. and Bland, Samuel R. and Williams, Marc H., LINEAR/NONLINEAR BEHAVIOR IN UNSTEADY TRANSONIC AERODYNAMICS.,
Collection of Technical Papers - AIAA/ASME/ASCE/AHS Structures, Structural Dynamics & Materials Conference no. Pt 2, ad
pp. 654 - 670 .
(last updated on 2007/04/10)Abstract:
The accurate calculation of aerodynamic forces in unsteady transonic flow requires the solution of the nonlinear flow equations. The aeroelastician, on the other hand, seeks to treat his problems by means of linear equations whenever possible. He may do this, even when the underlying flow is nonlinear, if the perturbation forces are linear over some range of unsteady amplitude of motion. This paper assesses the range of parameters over which linear behavior occurs. In particular calculations are made for an NACA 64A006 airfoil oscillating in pitch over a range of amplitudes, frequencies, and Mach numbers. Comparisons are made with linear subsonic theory, local linearization, and, for steady flow, with a full potential equation code.Keywords:

Delta Goodrem Glams Up Vogue Australia July 2012
She recently released a brand new single and is featured as a coach on "The Voice" in the Land Down Under, so it seems fitting to find Delta Goodrem chosen for the cover of the July 2012 issue of Vogue Australia magazine.
The 27-year-old Aussie singer-songwriter looked enchanting in a Gucci dress for the Nicole Bentley shot front page while dishing about everything from her personal rebirth to being single again.
Highlights from Miss Goodrem's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Vogue Australia!
On her personal rebirth:
"I feel like it's a totally different chapter; I feel like I'm back to being me again."
On ambition:
"You learn as you go and I think when you want to be the best in the world, like I do …" A-ha! The best in the world? "Yep, absolutely," she says. "I know where I should be and I'm still only 27. I've had this wonderful, incredible journey with Australia and with different countries, but also due to my life, there have been lots of stops and starts, and so right now is the best time in my life to take flight again."
On being single again:
"I have so much love to give that it's hard for me to say [no]. I'm very affectionate and so I'm just happy to be single and meeting different people and just enjoying being a 27-year-old."

text: This started out as a pretty promising day for breakouts, but it really fizzled in the afternoon. ENTR was probably the best of them, and was 3rd best in relative volume on the new highs list. This has got a lot going for it: a high price relative line, a consolidation along the 50dma, and a strong pivot point at 4.30. One thing I noticed here, which may just be coincidence, is something I have been noticing lately; after the breakout in March, it hit a high of 5.09 before it's first pullback. It hit an ultimate high of 5.87, which became the new breakout point. Now I haven't calculated it, but I will bet the mid point between 4.30 and 5.87 is damn close to 5.09.

Now that the bombers are either dead or in custody, questions are being asked about the draconian decision to lock down Boston in the attempt to capture them on Friday. One million people told to stay indoors and not go to work or school in an attempt to locate and capture suspects who turned out to be the Tsarnaev brothers.
No planes, T, buses, cars, schools and offices. Imagine. Imagine as compliant a population as hard-nosed Bostonians. Make no mistake, they were in shock. Terror had once again shattered the peaceful certainties of another major city, and – as with New York in 2001 – a frightened urban population was looking for leadership; for someone to be seen doing something.
For Rudy Giuliani after 9/11, read Boston's Mayor Thomas Menino, straight-talking in a way that is startling to the British ear, used to trying to work out what Dave, Ed, Nick or Boris mean when they speak. Menino, struggling with the after-effects of a broken leg, agreed with Police Commissioner Ed Davis and other authorities that the city be shut down as the suspects were so heavily armed and capable of inflicting more damage. This was confirmed when the first shoot-out revealed a huge weapons arsenal.
The second shoot-out, which may have ended with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev shooting himself in the mouth, not only produced the alleged "perp" but another arsenal.
Bostonians and Americans will be happy they got their man (men) dead or alive, and that no one else will die, if still horrified at the past week's events. To them the end justified the means. Did it?
They got lucky. Perhaps too, you make your own luck. But they could have been a whole lot luckier if they had acted upon Russian intelligence warnings about the brothers in the first place. Proactive private action based on intelligence and understanding may have negated the need for a brute, reactive public display of force.

Suggestions for GPA 3.30 and LSAT 149?
July 25, 2008, 12:29:34 PM »
So I understand that I do not have a super high GPA, 3.30, I could have worked harder in college I suppose and I just took my LSAT and received a 149, I know thats not tremendous as well, but I am wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for a person in my position, other than taking the LSAT again, which I am planning on in the fall. Some schools I am currently considering are Widener in Harrisburg and Duquesne in Pittsburgh. I am interested in schools that offer dual programs with Government specializations, whether it be Public Administration or what not. Thanks for your opinions

I just looked at the LSAC GPA/LSAT calculator and it looks like you have a good chance of getting in to both. At Duquesne you have about a 50% chance or so and at Widener you have about a 65% chance.
Here's the link to the calculator:

I'd say you stand a good chance at and should consider California Western, Franklin Pierce, Nova SE, and Washburn.
Additionally, I think you have an outside chance at and should look at Albany, North Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

I would apply to a bunch of the Tier 3 and 4 schools in your regional location. On the east coast, there is Widener, New England School of Law, Western New England, Duquesne, University of DC, Roger Williams, City University of New York and University of Baltimore (consult usworldnewsreport for a full list of T3 & T4 schools).
Usually it helps to have a least one strong factor (GPA or LSAT) to counter act the other lower one. Obviously you cant change your undergrad GPA, but I would consider retaking the LSAT. Maybe take a course or hire a private tutor. Or if thats outside your budget, buy some books with exams and practice, practice, practice (you can get them pretty cheap on amazon.com). If you really apply yourself, your score should jump at least 5 points, which will significantly increase your chances of acceptance anywhere. and most law schools take your highest lsat score, so this will be beneficial.
i also would consider making your soft factors very good. make sure you secure good letters of recommendation that really show off your skill. work extra hard on presentation, and anything else you could possibly due to strengthen your resume.
i hope this advice helps. good luck!

yeah it does actually help alot, although right now I'm thinking of Franklin Pierce thanks so someone's suggestion and backup is Duquesne, should I just go ahead and apply to these schools with my current LSAT score or should I wait and take it over and apply a little later, the earliest I could apply for Franklin Pierce is October 1st, And the next time I could take my LSAT is later in October probably not getting my score back till like November or so. Would I be better off applying early with my current score? Or waiting and hopefully getting a slightly better one?

Waiting to get a better one. Your time would be better spent now studying for the LSAT and not filling out applications. In fact, you cant even fill out most applications until August or September, and most schools accept until February or March. Also, most law schools use a rolling admissions cycle (filling up the class as they go along, not waiting until they have everyone's app). This means that you'll want to apply somewhere around the middle...if you apply too early, they'll balk at your 149 and reject you because they will wait for future applicants with higher scores. But if you apply too late, the class may already be full. Its a balancing act. according to LSAC, most people fill out their apps between thanksgiving and christmas and this, in combination with the holidays, can jam up the admissions process and make things move slower. To play it safe, I would apply around Halloween or so. You will surely have your LSAT score by then (mine popped up in my email box less than 2 weeks after I took the test and before the scheduled deadline they previously noted). And if you dont have it by then, you can still apply...by the time you fill out the app, the school requests your info, all your documents arrive at LSAC...your LSAT score will surely have arrived. Good luck!

Apparently printed before DeForest Kelly was hired. Cool find — thanks for sharing!
September 5, 2011 at 7:27 pm
Awesome piece of Trek history. Whatever happened to Paul Fix, Lloyd Hanes and Andrea Dromm? Their replacements are legendary.
September 5, 2011 at 11:54 pm
LLoyd Haynes went on to a number of projects, including a starring role in an ABC series I watched every week and still remember fondly: Room 222.
Wikipedia says Haynes was dropped from Star Trek because Roddenberry liked Nichelle Nichols and her role of Uhura better for Star Trek.
Sadly, he died of lung cancer in the late 1980s. IMDB shows a long list of productions, in which he appeared. Perhaps you can find some or all of them via Netflix, YouTube, or other means.

One will always wonder how Paul Fix (a much underrated actor) would have played the Enterprise's Chief Medical Officer. Of course the series would not have been the same without Bones (Dr. McCoy), and he became a very important part of the crew. (And gave us the most remembered 3-word line from TOS: "He's dead, Jim"). We will always remember DeForest Kelley.
September 5, 2011 at 8:50 pm
Or his comment: "I'm a doctor, not a ____________" (fill in the blank).
September 7, 2011 at 1:39 am
At least his faous line he actually said… 3 times. Not counting, "He's dead, Captain." But my favorite, from Trouble With Tribbles: "Jim! This man is a Klingon!"
Kirk's "Beam me up, Scotty." wasn't. Lots of lines close to it… but ever that on.
September 5, 2011 at 8:04 pm
Wow this was really great, a great historical reference for all Trek lovers.
September 5, 2011 at 8:31 pm
No apostrophe in agencies or booklets. Plurals are not possessives or contractions. Please correct. it takes the air out of an otherwise fascinating article.
September 5, 2011 at 8:32 pm
You'll also notice that both pictures of Spock had his ears and eyebrows airbrushed to remove the points and make them appear human. NBC was concerned at the time regarding his devilish appearance and that it would make it harder to sell the show.
September 5, 2011 at 9:21 pm
Such a great piece of history, thanks for posting. But for goodness sake, if you're going to post articles online for the world to see, please bear in mind that plurals NEVER require apostraphes! An apostraphe is used for a contraction or when indicating possession – never, EVER for plurals.
September 5, 2011 at 9:22 pm
I wonder how many of these booklet's are still out there in the wild's. I'll bet most advertising agency's just dumped these without realizing how valuable they might be year's (or decade's!) later. Thank's for posting this incredible find! Do you have any other's?
Incredibly Petty -
September 5, 2011 at 9:51 pm
Thanks so much for sharing! Fascinating to see the cast members who didn't 'stick', as well as Spock with weird rounded ears! Just looks – deformed somehow! LOL
September 6, 2011 at 12:00 am
Thanks very much for posting this. It took me back to 1965, and the time I visited the local NBC affiliate when both Star Trek and "I Dream of Jeannie" were on the air. When TV was still going through the transition from Black-and-White to "Living Color," I walked into the reception area of this TV station and saw huge color pictures of Star Trek and Jeannie casts. It was one of those moments that sticks with you, much, I suppose, as people who attending the first screenings of The Wizard of Oz experienced, when the film shifted from Kansas-gray monochrome to vibrant Oz color.

Fascinating. When you think of the high powered gloss that now accompanies mediocre TV productions, it is remarkable that such modest promotional material sowed the seeds of what Star Trek turned into. Content is king … as the Big Bang Theory is proving today.

What are the dimensions? I'd love to print this out and re-create it on paper but would like it to be the correct size.
December 14, 2011 at 8:06 pm
I have an actual copy of this brochure (I came across it while working in advertising in the 1980s and cleaning out file drawers)…do you think that any one would want to purchase it ? and for how much? I loved all the Star Trek programs that followed. Am not a collector but have held onto this for years – it was truly a piece of TV history…any feedback appreciated – I tried to find out how to find a buyer years ago. Thanks.
December 19, 2011 at 2:19 pm
Hi Margaret – sounds like you could answer my question about the actual size of that brochure! Can you share the vertical/horizontal dimensions? I'd love to print one out from the scans provided here and it would be nice to know it was at the original size…
December 21, 2011 at 1:42 pm
I will measure when I locate brochure —pretty sure it was same as standard paper (as I have it in a manila folder) must be around 8 1/2 by 11 inches —but promise to follow up really soon.
Also thanks IA for feedback on selling I had made some inquiries to some Star Trek groups and figure on several hundred $s from some estimates-will let you know what I decide about how and how much to sell—been busy but so glad to have flound this blog site – Margaret
December 27, 2011 at 11:13 am
My guess was correct —I measured the Star Trek Pilot brochure and it is indeed 8 1/2 X 11 the standard size of plain copy / printing paper.
December 28, 2011 at 1:05 pm
Thanks so much, Margaret! Looking forward to printing up a simulated version for myself.

LT1962 misbehaving - why?
I'm building balanced to unbalanced converter on OP727 -> optoresistor volume control. I'm using LT1962 and LT1964 in the power supply. I don't see any problem with LT1964 so far, but LT1962 oscillates.
LT1962 oscillates at about 80Hz (sawtooth) loaded on 20uF OS-CON, it also oscillates with higher ESR capacitors (BG) as well. Oscillation amplitude is about 0.2V. It is also oscillates loaded just at TL074 + 2 LEDs. Oscillation in that case depends on LEDs current. LT1962 used in the standard circuit from datasheet with 18v input ant 14v output. I checked my PCB number of time it should be correct. Is there are some specifics in using LT1962? Are they generally behaving this way, or I just got ICs from bad batch? Thanks, Viktor |

No way 0.2V oscillation is normal behaviour for any regulator that deserves the name.
What is the dropout voltage in your supply? Have fun, Hannes

Oscillation is worse under load (30mA)
Dropout voltage according to design is about 4V. It is actually second stage of the regulator. The first is simplest transistor + zenner + resistor regulator to make 18-20V (so input will be within operational limits of LT1962) from 60v power amp input/driver stage rail. I probably will replace LT1962 with LT1761 or LT1086. LT1962 package is inconvenient to use with DIY PCB anyway. |

What value (and what type) is the cap across the input of the regulator?
An excessively high source impedance can cause squegging which may well be what you are seeing. Regards, Dan. |

Project had been put aside because of absence of time till 2 weeks ago.
Solution was pretty simple: WIMA capacitor on BYP picked up interference from Mastech "lab" PSU. Changing the capacitor to 1206 one helped a lot |
