CMG are maintaining attitude control, don't they usually use russian attitude control during russian EVAs?

According to NASA PAO this is the first russian EVA preformed not just over Russian ground-stations since data is now feed through TDRS/MCC-H to MCC-M

Yup, that is correct. For reference, here is more info from the Expedition 25 thread:

From ISS On-Orbit Status Report for 10/11/2010.

RS EVA Flight Rule Change:
IMMT (ISS Mission Management Team) today approved a change in a Flight Rule which in the past called for RS EVA to take place only over RGSs (Russian Ground Sites) for downlinking Orlan suit telemetry via VHF (Very High Frequency). ISS, Soyuz, and Orlan suits utilize VHF-2 frequency pair. VHF-2 up to now had been limited to spacecraft emergencies or any contingency scenarios. The FR change allows Orlan spacesuit EVA operations over CONUS (Continental US) using the VHF-2 channel as well as spacecraft emergencies and contingencies. Use of VHF over CONUS requires GSFC network director pre-coordination due to frequency proximity to those of general aviation.

They are working on the installation of workstation

I don't know it it's the translator but the conversation between the crew  sounds really funny from time to time

I thought also that it was played like that but now I'm not sure. Probably Space Pete will know :)

It is hard to follow along with updates since they don't use the same system with an IVA that reads from a check-list. We can mostly hear the conversation between Oleg and Fyodor.

As a side-note the best russian translator I heard on NASA TV just came on.

First area of attachment complete and finally checks are in place to make sure it's secure before moving on to next location

If I understood correctly they are just installing gap-spanners before they start driving the 4 bolts that will hold the workstation in place.

:)

On the last Russian EVA (25), attitude control was handed over from USOS CMGs to RS Thrusters prior to egress. So I don't know why it's different this time. It could be an error on the part of the PAO.

It might be depending on their work location; if they are in the way for the thrusters but I'm not sure.

Reminding the crew to make sure their temperature in the suits are right.

Night-pass now so asked to remove covers.
