This is a great forum, joined wbb last week and I love the concept of this online journal.
I'm a 31 year old male, 5'6'' 172lbs had my body fat checked a couple weeks ago at 18% ( I think thats a pretty conservative estimate, the PT who tested me did not seem too confident in the calipers or the equations)
I plan on using this journal to keep track of my diet, and to monitor weight training to make sure that I continually push the poundages up, I think alot of us continue to use the same weights year after year and wonder why we're not growing!
Here's my plan: Weight training four days a week.
Clean diet, high protein, moderate carbs, low fat.
Supplement with Omega 3's, creatine, glutamine.
30-45 min cardio, 4 days a week.
I would like to get my weight down to 155lbs, see a little bit of abs, and then start a bulking cycle at that point .
With a clean diet, hard training , a clean life style (no more drinking, smoking, etc..) tons of water and a great attitude, this should take just couple of months.

Any back work? Hamstring work? Tricep work (not that it is necessary considering the involvement in chest work)? That looks like a lot of stuff for chest and bi's...not much else?

Picked up some Chocolate Whey today, will start taking 3 shakes per day /w 1%milk, fruit , & creatine when I get it..
Hey vegas, just checked in. Good luck with the journal.
Thanks Mic! It seems to be helping already, ya don't want to cheat on your diet or miss a workout when you have to log it in later, it's only my 2nd day but I'm enjoying having this journal!
Welcome to the boards and congrats on all your new beginnings
You've checked out MY BIG JOURNAL so I thought I'd check yours out too. We're like almost the same height & weight & age...kewl.
You seem to be off to a good start...lots of enthusiasm. Good.
It's good that you anticipate what we on the boards will tell you about with your diet....
To effectively reach your goals, you will need MORE and BETTER sources of lean protein. PB&J sandwiches aren't the worst thing to eat, but they could be even better with ww bread, natural (organic) pb and sugar-free (or low) jam. I'm not a soda pop fan so I can't endorse their use...water is best for me. Wet carbs, too will do good for you as will complex carbs from yams, potatoes, brown rice & oatmeal.....
But you knew we'd say so cuz you know some stuff about nutrition, right?
Best wishes to you.

Might want to add in some carbs with the first meal because I believe that most of the whey when consumed by itself will be oxidized and used for energy due to low glucose levels in the morning.Originally posted by Vegasbound03

Kate Beckinsale showed off her sexy back on the red carpet at the 2011 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in West Hollywood, California on Sunday night.
She dazzled on the red carpet wearing a black long sleeve Julien Macdonald dress which she teamed with a Chopard ring and a Tacori earrings.
Kate's dress has a black sheer panel at the back which also works its way down her sleeves.
It's far from being Kate's greatest red carpet moment, but it works for the occasion.
I'm glad she's back to being a brunette, I wasn't a fan of the temporary blonde do.

Panini anuncia seminário via internet sobre captura de imagem na agência, apresentando o vice-presidente sênior do Frost Bank, David Rathke
Panini, the global distributed capture market leader, will host David Rathke, Senior Vice President at Frost Bank, one of the nation's leading financial institutions, to present a WebEx online seminar Tuesday, March 23, 2010 at 10:00am EDT, with a second session at 2:00pm EDT that same day.
Frost Bank recently enabled their branch network with teller image capture - a process of converting checks to digital images at the earliest point of presentment to facilitate electronic clearing via image exchange - providing the bank with many operational efficiency and cost saving opportunities. The implementation included over 100 branches in the major metropolitan areas of Texas as well as smaller markets and utilized the Panini Vision X®, the world's leading check scanner, including Panini's AGP (advanced graphic printer) feature for receipt printing. David Rathke will present the Frost Bank Branch Capture Experience, a summary of Frost's branch capture project. "We are pleased to have completed this very important bank initiative and look forward to sharing our experiences with the industry," states Rathke. Mr. Rathke's presentation will include the bank's processes prior to teller capture, vendor selection process, business case, and implementation and training considerations.
In addition, Brian Loos, Manager Sales Engineering, Panini, will present Branch Capture – A Market Perspective. According to Celent, an industry leading research and consulting firm, branch capture has experienced phenomenal growth, with nearly 3,500 financial institutions installing some form of branch capture over the past year. Loos will speak about the evolution of branch capture, the benefits of teller capture, current implementations, industry standards and keys to a successful branch capture implementation.

52 for 50
Posted on November 18, 2010
Come February, I will be 49: in the fiftieth year of my life. I'm not dreading anything at all about it. But I am pausing for thought. About where I am, what other lessons I'd like to teach myself, and how I want to enter my fifties. Maybe it's time for a list.
But NOT a bucket list.
I'm not in the market for a list of things I need to accomplish or places I need to see or shit I need to get done before I die. There are already plenty of those lists out there and many of them are beyond daunting: go to carnival at Rio, stand at the North Pole, become fluent in Greek, ride a camel across the Sahara, get a Doctorate, climb an active volcano… Face it: some of these folks are going to need far more money, vacation time and balls than most of us will ever acquire in a lifetime.
Don't get me wrong: bucket lists are grown-up, Sears Wishbook Christmas lists that serve an important purpose. We need to own these dreams and aspirations in order to balance the day-to-dayness of our lives. And like that Wishbook list, we know we won't get everything… but we cling to the possibilities.
No, I don't need a bucket list: what I'm deriving is about something different… it's about turning 50.
Starting on my 49th birthweek, I'll be working from a list of 52 new things to try, one a week, up to my 50th birthweek. All reasonable, simple things.
I'm calling it my Beach Pail list. Beach pails are smaller, easier to handle and much cheaper than buckets. Just like the items on my list.
Here are the rules for what can't go into my Beach Pail:
- No more than $30 and a few hours' time per item… less if possible (thus, learning to Tango is out).
- No practice needed for the initial attempt (such as sky-diving, which I have already done, by the way…).
- No ongoing lessons (like those needed to learn Japanese).
- No permanent body marks (such as a tattoo or dying my gums blue, for example).
- Nothing that would normally need to get done (writing my will goes on the TO-DO list: not this one).
- No extensive travel required (seeing the Pyramids is out).
- Nothing that smells like a dare (for me, that would be something like swimming with sharks).
- Nothing that borders on silly (like making fire the old-fashioned way).
- Nothing that, frankly, can never happen without bending the rules of the universe (such as levitating or no longer eating chocolate).
- UPDATE: nothing I've ever done before.
Here's a small sampling, in no particular order, of what can go into the Beach Pail:
- Eat tofu
- Try Haiku
- Plant peonies
- Bet on a horse
- Go target shooting
- Learn to spit. Really well.
- Play Bingo at a Firehouse
- Bake authentic, crusty French bread
- Watch the Director's cut of Bladerunner
- Sleep in a hammock

So, why this Beach Pail list, you ask? What's the point?
I want to infuse more moments of surprise, joy and variety into my life. I need to remind myself that I'm not too old to try new things. I want to create new interests and experiences without investing large amounts of time and money. I want to know that these small excursions beyond my normal self can happen freely (and often free) when I am more open and willing. I want to add interest, invite possibilities, take baby steps outside my element. To challenge myself on small levels. And create new stories to tell as a result.
I think you get the picture.
The world is filled with new and exciting things to try that take only minutes to experience. And I'm marching head-on into my fiftieth year, ready to try 52 new things.
My Beach Pail list springs into action in February. Join me!
Or at least send along some suggestions for me to try, keeping in mind my rules…
UPDATE! I finished my Beach Pail list on February 20, 2012. To read the final list of 52 items, click HERE.

I found you through Kim, Queen of Arts, and I love this post, and love that you chose a beach pail. Anything to do with a beach makes me grin. Here's a maybe for your list…find a good used book store and spend a few hours wandering through it. We have an awesome one here, and I can get a ton of books for $30…..and then turn them back in for some store credit! Oh, and find yourself a really cool glass for that Bloody Mary!
I think this idea is pretty neat – I'm going to make my own Beach Pail list.
I'm also borrowing the whole 'learn to spit' thing. How come girls never get to learn how to spit?

Build a sandcastle? Go a whole day without doing anything productive at all? Paint your bedroom black? Spend one whole day naked (at home please!).
I've built sandcastles before (and adore the process!), and painting the bedroom black would drive the hubby right out of the house, so that's not something I can rightly consider…
but I simply love love LOVE the idea of spending an entire day naked! This is sooooo going on my Beach Pail list – thanks bunches, Clara!
UPDATE: ADDED RULES for BEACH PAIL LIST: Nothing I have already done, and nothing that would drive the hubby from our home…!
Clara in Paradise
Ok, so the following item I was going to suggest ("Drive husband out of the house") is out? Shame.
Oh no – that goes on a completely different list! xo
Style Maniac
oh I love this! Can't wait to follow along. As for suggestions, seems you've got a pretty clear idea where to start. I imagine one thing will lead to another and the year will fly by.
Go to the beach in the winter time, no people (unless you bring your husband) just you the sand and the waves .. . great place for reflection.
p.s. make sure you dress warm .
I can help with #8!
Something I know you have done before, but needs to be done again & again by everyone.
Find someone that can make you laugh uncontrolably, then spend the day w/ them!!

First Look at the 2012 Snappers
by, 05-04-2012 at 04:14 PM (869 Views)
This article originally was posted at Knuckleballsblog.com
If you follow me on Twitter (@JimCrikket), you know that the Twins low-A affiliate, the Beloit Snappers, are making their first trip to Cedar Rapids this week and that Ive spent the past couple of evenings at the ballpark watching them take on the Kernels (the Angels Midwest League affiliate).
Theyve played 1+ games in the series so far (Thursdays game was suspended by thunderstorms in the 3rd inning and will be resumed at 5:00 today, prior to the scheduled series finale), so I thought Id put up a quick post with my initial impressions.
The guys who are getting all the attention for the Snappers are infielders Miguel Sano and Eddie Rosario. Sano is the consensus #1 ranked prospect in the Twins organization and Rosario is most often listed as either #2 or #3, so they both have some game. They arent the only guys on the team with some talent, though.
Wednesday night, I had arranged use of the suite that my company has out at Memorial Stadium, so I hosted a number of my coworkers and their significant others as we watched what started out as a pretty ugly display of baseball, frankly. To give you an idea of how ugly, the Snappers won the game 6-5, but the teams each scored only two earned runs on the night. Thats not pretty.
After two innings, the teams were tied 2-2 in the runs column, but the Snappers led 3-2 in errors. Two of those Snapper errors were charged to Rosario and Sano and they both were the kind that made you cringe. The conventional wisdom is that both players have work to do on defense with Sanos size perhaps making staying at 3B a challenge and Rosario trying to learn a new position at 2B, after being an outfielder throughout his career. The conventional wisdom may be pretty accurate in this case.
But lets face it, if Sano and Rosario are fixtures in the Twins 2015 lineup, it wont be because theyre gold glovers, it will be because theyre capable of hitting the crap out of the baseball. Rosario had a tough night at the plate, going 0-4 (no Ks though) before being lifted after hitting in the 7th inning. Sano fared much better, with three hits in 5 at-bats, including a rocket double down the left field line that Kernel 3B Caleb Cowart managed to get a little leather on.
As I mentioned, though, Sano and Rosario arent the only players with some baseball talent. Relief pitcher Corey Williams came in to finish off the final two innings and slammed the door on the Kernels, walking one and striking out two hitters, without giving up a hit, to earn his fourth save on the year. Shortstop Tyler Grimes has only played four innings so far this series, but hes made a couple of pretty impressive plays in the field. Finally, 1B Rory Rhodes may be struggling to get his BA up over the Mendoza line, but he hit a HR Wednesday night that was a monster. It cleared the fence. It cleared the picnic area beyond the fence. From my vantage point, it appeared to clear the street beyond the picnic area. Im not 100% sure its come down yet.
Eddie Rosario was lifted in the 7th inning Wednesday night, for what I assumed was defensive purposes, but when I arrived at the stadium Thursday night, I saw he wasnt in the lineup for the Snappers. It made me wonder if he was hurt or, perhaps, had been bumped up to Ft. Myers. But he was in uniform warming up with the rest of the Snappers in LF before the game, so the latter clearly wasnt the case. Ill be interested to see if he plays tonight.
Heres another thing I really liked seeing Sano and Rosario seemed to be enjoying themselves before and during the games. They were loose and smiling during warm-ups and both were generous with their time signing autographs for fans along the wall by the Snappers dugout before the games. Thats not always the case, especially with visiting teams top prospects. Then again, there was no shortage of fans in Twins caps and shirts at the ballpark this week. Its always a bit of a split crowd when the Twins affiliate comes to Cedar Rapids, so the Snappers get plenty of support.
With that, Ill wrap up with a few pictures from last nights abbreviated trip to the ballpark.
(Apologies for the size of the photos... Haven't figured out how to make them smaller in this place, but obviously it doesn't work just to copy the smaller versions from our Knuckleballs blog. - JC)
Miguel Sano signing a few autographs for fans
Eddie Rosario warming up before the game... he's changed positions once already, but could he really be thinking about pitching?
... or catching? Say it ain't so, Eddie!
The Snappers loosen up with that time-honored tradition of a game of "Pepper"
Thursday's starting pitcher, Matthew Tomshaw, is off to a nice start for the Snappers, but wouldn't get much of an opportunity to pitch before the rains came
OK, this was a swing and a miss by Rory Rhodes Thursday night... but on Wednesday, he launched a ball about as far as I've seen one hit at Memorial Stadium in recent years
Tyler Grimes at shortstop for the Snappers in the sunshine... obviously prior to the thunderstorm that was to soon arrive
The thunderstorm may have caused the game to be suspended in the 3rd inning, but the crowd didn't let a little thing like that keep them from enjoying "$1.50 beer night"

Judge Rebukes Lawyers for Rowdy Conduct in Controversial Case, Questions Safety of Courtroom Chairs
Posted Nov 22, 2011 3:56 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A judge in Sri Lanka expressed shock over the rowdy behavior of some lawyers in a packed courtroom last week after an unpopular ruling, saying that their proper remedy was an appeal rather than taking out their frustration on courthouse chairs.
Colombo High Court Judge Deepali Wijesundera also urged attorneys to inspect their chairs carefully before taking a seat, in case they had been damaged in the fray, reports the Ceylon Daily News.
The incident concerned the court's majority ruling in the so-called white flag case against former army commander Sarath Fonseka, who was sentenced to three years and fined for propagating a false rumor in violation of emergency regulations. The case is described in detail in an earlier Sunday Times article.

According to Wired, next month at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas, a security research duo will demonstrate how they built a Money-mining botnet on online application-hosting services – perhaps like Amazon Web Services, Heroku, or Cloudbees – using only Free Trials and Freemium accounts.
Cue the overly-dramatic sky-is-falling music as we mourn the demise of SaaS Free Trials and Freemium (remember, those uses of "free" are very different).
I know a lot of entrepreneurs, founders, executives, and product marketers at SaaS and Cloud companies will read that Wired article and say to me – since I've been quite vocal about not being a fan of requiring a Credit Card to get started on a Free Trial – "See Lincoln… not having a credit card wall opens up our system to abuse!"
But they're wrong… and here's why.

On Saturday, January 19 2013, comedian John Pinette did his stand-up comedy act at The Paramount Theater in Rutland, Vermont. That Saturday was my first "official" night working as an usher. It was pretty cool because I got to see the show. The act began at roughly 8:00 pm.
So who is John Pinette?
I've gotta say-It seems lately I have lived under a rock with what's going on in the current Entertainment world. I didn't really know much about him prior to this event, but after seeing this show I would have to say that John Pinnette is a pretty damn funny guy.
He is an American actor originally from Boston, Massachusetts and has been a stand up comedian for the past 25 years! He is known as "The King of Food Comedy"; as well as being a "Self-proclaimed Fat Guy". He has also been traveling all across the United States currently with his "Still Hungry Tour".
From what I have witnessed he is surely a class act. He talks a lot about food and you never quite know where he is going to go with it. The stories he goes on about kept me quite amused. Not only are his words enough to make you feel like you're about to go into hyperventilation from laughing so much (in the best way possible of course!), but he has this remarkable way of keeping you quite intrigued throughout his performance and you can't help but think – "Man! What is he going to say next? Where is he going with this? This is great!"
I would have to say his funniest moment from the show from my personal experience was his "Chinese Buffet" routine!
There is something extremely relaxing and exciting about seeing him Live. It was a good comical time! So would I go to the next John Pinette show? Absolutely! There is just something about food and comedy that makes my heart smile like a watermelon! John Pinette= Some pretty funny stuff!!
You can check out more of his laugh out loud material on Comedy Central and check out his more of his hilarious DVDS HERE.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- Tom Ciccarelli can't imagine life without his red 1967 Ford Fairlane.
His late father, Patrick, co-signed so he could buy it new from the former Conn Ford.
Ciccarelli and his late wife, Carolyn, took memorable trips together to car shows.
And the retired 66-year-old from Cuyahoga Falls plans to pass the prized possession -- with only 29,000 miles -- along to his kids when he's no longer around.
"Nobody could put a price on that, you know?" he said. "I've had crazy offers on it and everybody looks at me and says, 'Why wouldn't you take the $25,000 for that car?' You can't replace something like that."
Such is the emotional attachment and passion people feel for their historical vehicles, especially in Northeast Ohio.
The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles has issued about 360,000 historical plates statewide, with more than 151,000 based in Northeast Ohio. Overall, there are 11.8 million vehicles registered in the state.
Vehicles only have to be 25 years old to qualify.
Cuyahoga County, the most populous in Ohio, leads the state with 31,147 historical plates, according to a Beacon Journal analysis of state data.
Franklin County is second with 23,963, and Summit County is third with 22,225.
Northeastern counties Stark (16,491), Lorain (12,392), Lake (10,892) and Mahoning (10,611) also are in the top 10. Medina is 11th with 9,262.
The number of historical plates issued doesn't surprise collectors.
"Once you're a gearhead, it's in your blood," Rich Cragle, 44, of Springfield Township, said about the passion that comes along with owning an older vehicle.
He has two pickups: a 1976 Ford F-150 and a 1975 Ford F-100.
Ciccarelli has owned "umpteen hundreds" of vehicles through the years: Cadillacs, Lincolns, Chevys, Pontiacs and Dodges. He's partial to Fords.
"You see something, you really like it, and you buy it," he said.
Ohio started offering historical plates in 1953 for vehicles that were at least 35 years old. That restriction dropped to 25 years in 1973.
Drivers pay a one-time fee, a little more than $30, then don't have to renew the plate.
The only catch is that these vehicles are supposed to be used only in parades, tours and collector club activities and not for general transportation.
Because owners never have to renew the plate, BMV officials aren't sure if the 360,000 figure is an accurate representation of historical vehicles in Ohio.
Some of those vehicles might have left the state or even been scrapped since the plate was issued, they said.
The number of plates issued in Northeast Ohio isn't surprising, given its strong automotive history, said Derek Moore, the curator of transportation history at the Western Reserve Historical Society, which runs the Crawford Auto-Aviation Collection.
That history includes such former car companies as Peerless and Chandler, and current Ford and General Motors plants in the area.
"A lot of those people who work for car companies tend to be people who enjoy cars," Moore said. "So a lot of those people get into the collector-car hobby, and that's a big part of why Northeast Ohio is collector-car heavy, because of the history of this area."
Some interesting facts about historical plates:
--?Vinton County in southern Ohio has the fewest with 253.
--?Ohioans are most fond of vehicles from the late 1960s, with the top five years being, in order: 1966, 1969, 1967, 1965 and 1968.
--?The most popular decade for historical vehicles is the 1960s, with 113,926 plates issued.
"That doesn't surprise me because of that baby boomer generation," Moore said. "The '60s is probably their first cars as young adults, and they are going back and living that nostalgic era of their life and trying to find the cars that they owned when they were younger.
"And also there's an abundance of American cars in the late '50s and '60s era. Those are the cars that have survived, along with the 'muscle car' era."
--?Five plates are issued to vehicles built in the 1800s.
--?Chevrolets rule.
BMV records are poorly kept when it comes to brand and model identification.
Some brands, for example, are entered as "CHEV" and others as "CHE."
Many don't even list a model.
But there are at least 105,633 Chevrolets and 73,928 Fords with historical plates. Pontiac is the third-most popular at 17,217.
Some of the vehicles with historical plates might not match your vision of a historical vehicle.
More than 48,550 vehicles from the 1980s have a historical plate -- 13 percent of the total.
"It has now reached a point where cars from my childhood are getting historical plates on them, so it's getting very weird," Moore said. "It is odd to go out and see a 1980 Chevy with historic plates on it. It doesn't seem quite right, but it's the rule and that's what they deem as a classic."
Some motorists with historical plates are abusing them and using their vehicles every day, collectors said.
"I see it all the time," said Jason Burdette of Barberton, who restored a 1972 Ford Galaxie into a police car.
Those owners think it's a way to avoid paying an annual registration fee, he said.
At first, David Schultz, the former executive director of the Glenmoor Gathering of Significant Automobiles and a collector who has four cars from the 1930s, was surprised to learn there are so many historical plates issued in the state.
Then he thought about it and concluded it isn't that shocking at all, given the fact that vehicles have to be only 25 years old and that number is always growing.
Moore said it's nice to see so many historical plates issued.
"It's great to hear that people are keeping the cars and saving them," he said.

House Tour: Harriet Maxwell Macdonald
Harriet is one of the co-owners Ochre, a fabulous little shop in New York that features her own line of furniture and lighting. So it's no surprise then that the apartment she shares with her husband, Andrew Corrie, is just as fabulous and beautiful. When I'm feeling better I will update the post with witty comments and product details. Until then, I'm going to go back to nursing my broken heart.

Ouch, sorry you didn't have a great weekend.
These photos are beautiful. I love how so many of them are 'elements' rather than a vista of the room/space in its entirety. Second last photo is so beautiful.
And that breakfast nook, I agree with Jane Flanagan, it's fantastic!

Thanks for all the sweet comments!
I haven't googled the Collette Dinnigan dress to look for it but you can check www.collettedinnigan.com for stockists.
For a similar bed, try "Newfield" at www.charlesprogers.com.
The red leather "Snooze" chair and stool are from Ochre and not cheap, $6,190 and $1,660 respectively.

History of Mary B. Austin School
Mary B. Austin School began as Spring Hill School just prior to 1900 on a site across Stein Street from our present location. The main building was opened on the present site in September, 1910, with a principal and two teachers. Additions were made in 1929 to the small building. In 1943, the name was changed at the request of the parents to honor Miss Mary B. Austin, who had served for over 20 years as principal.
The school system built the "annex" in 1946 with parents adding the cafeteria in 1947. The PTA added two extra classrooms in 1959. The facilities were last renovated in 1967. Seven portables have been added since that time. The original Spring Hill School wood frame building was moved onto the campus by the PTA in 1988 to house kindergarten classes. In addition to Miss Austin, principals have included Miss Catherine Lining (1943-1966), Miss Flora Mary Pearson (1966-1978), Mrs. Glenys Mason (1978-1989), Mrs Lexie Barnett (1989-1999) and Mrs. Jackie Zeigler (present).
Austin School is accredited by the state of Alabama (1978) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
Austin has been a Partner in Education with Springhill Memorial Hospital since 1988. Other partners include Mobile Museum of Art, Bank Trust, St. Paul's Episcopal School, Springhill Medical Center, Regions Bank, Murphy High School, Springhill Presbyterian Church, Zeas Restaurant, Elizabeth's Garden, Alabama Art Supply, Morgan Keegan and Company, , Jumps-a-lot, ICS Communications, Inc., Al's 5 & 10, Home Depot, Harvest Church, AT&T, Zoghby Uniforms, Pump It Up, Springhill College Department of Education, Springhill College Department of Athletics.
Austin serves a student body of racial, economic and cultural diversity. Many prominent citizens are Austin alumni who retain fond memories of "Old Ann," Play Day, and excellent teachers. Austin is noted for achieving a high rate of academic success for its students in an atmosphere of caring concern for each individual and with the involvement of the parents, community and staff, past and present.
In 2002, Austin was placed in a new two-story building in September. A new administration, media center and classroom addition was completed and opened March 2003. The original Springhill School was totally renovated and serves as an open classroom for our student body.
Bricks and cornices from the original main building were saved before its demolition and are now incorporated into the school sign located at Stein an Provident.
For the School Year 2006-2007, Austin received the prestigious national award of NCLB-Blue Ribbon School by the Us Department of Education. We were one of only two schools in Alabama to be recognized for this honor. NCLB_Blue Ribbon Award honors schools that are academically superior and/or have shown dramatic gains in student achievement. Austin was selected because we helped close the achievement gap and achieved gains and have received recognition by Alabama State Department of Education of exceeding AYP scores and closing the achievement gap.

Chevy Blazer Starting and Stalling Problems
I have a 1974 Blazer with a 305 in it, I just replaced spark plugs, cap, rotor, wires, fuel filter, some hoses and PCV valve. It starts up strong, runs fine for a bit - drive it around the neighborhood - then once I come to a stop it basically dies on me, sometimes it will start right back up again - sometimes it will just crank and crank.
What other things should I be looking at, fuel pump? Can a bad coil cause this??
I would appreciate any help, thank you.
What other things should I be looking at, fuel pump? Can a bad coil cause this??
I would appreciate any help, thank you.
This is reaching back, but no computer and manual fuel pump with a carb. Float level and needle/seat would be one to look at - does this have an air idle solenoid on the carb? Isn't there a small brass filter in the carb base where the line screws in too. Fuel pressure should be checked (believe 9-11 lbs but check online to be sure). Coil could heat up and die as well as wiring to the key switch could be loose.
I have an 01 blazer 4.3 vortec and Im having trouble I think with the fuel system. When I would pull up to a stop light and sit there longer than 5 min. it will cut off on me and and now its shutting off while im driving down the road. I have no problem starting it backup though. Fuel pump or possibly injectors?
That or coil, sensor, MAF, vac leak, cap/rotor/wires/plugs etc - mileage? First when was the fuel filter changed - first place to look and its $15 ($75 with labor). Air filter not too dirty? Fuel system has a test port on the metal line that requires a special valve to connect and then ckeck the pressure. 60psi min with key on engine off (start pressure) and 54psi running. If those check out then on to electrical/sensors/etc. Any SES light on and codes?
Fuel filter should be changed every 25-30k miles and is under the drivers seat area under the frame on the inside. Its always a pain to change up there - $10-15 part and about $50 labor. One end is quick connect squeeze tabs to release (after pressure released) and the other end requires 2 open end wrenches. Have to take the bolt out of the plastic holder also to get the filter out.
Pressure test NOT normally done by auto stores but they may have a free reantal tester to use at home or take to a shop and they will do that and the filter plus analyze the problem so you don't throw too many parts at it.
jmojardin Posts: 3I'M DRIVING A 2001 GMC JIMMY V6 4.3L. LIKE 2 MONTHS AGO I NOTICE THE FUEL GAGE WAS NOT WORKING...I REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP ASSY. NOW THE GAGE IS OK BUT THE CAR CUTOFF AT ANY TIME,I REPLACE AGAIN THE FUEL PUMP, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSIST. THE VEHICLE SHUTDOWN WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING OR AT COMPLETE STOP..I AM THINKING IF THERE IS ANY PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL FILTER, I NEVER REPLACED. ALREADY 75K MILES ON IT.IAM REALLY CONFUSE IF I HAVE TO REPLACE AGAIN THE FUEL PUMP FOR THIRD TIME. SOMEBODY SAY THERE MAY BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE THERMOSTAT. ANY IDEAS?? THANKS
First change the fuel filter a $15 part, then if problem still happens test the fuel pressure at the test port on the metal line at the top rear of the engine. Its a special tester and once you have it or get a shop to do it the pressure should be 54psi when running or alittle higher (but not lower than 53) and if there is a starting problem its 60psi with the key on engine off. Also check all connectinons at the top of the tank and there is a fuel pump relay in the fuse box under hood.
One end is a snap or quick disconnect that you squeeze the 2 tabs and it pulls off (after pressure released). The other end requires 2 open end wrenches. The bracket it is in is held on by one 13mm bolt to the frame that has to be taken off to get the filter out of the bracket and the lines are simply snapped in to the top of that bracket. You will get gas on you and its kind of a pain but shops charge about $35-50 to change so up to you.
When I drive down the road sometimes when I step on the gas the engine bogs and stalls, if I quickly put it into neutral and restart it will have all kinds of power for a few miles then do the same thing. I relaced the fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator EGR valve, spark plugs and cap, I put a fuel pressure gauge on the test port and it reads with KOEF 65lbs. and with the KOER it reads 58lbs. I also put a vaccuum gauge on engine and could find no leaks. Why does this do this and how do I correct the problem? Help this is a safety issue, my family uses this vehicle.!!
No codes come up until after it happens then it comes up oxygen sensers port 1 and port 2. You can step on the gas and the engine just bogs it has absolutely no power . Put the car in neutral ( while still moving ) count to 3 and restart and have all the power you want. Tried Hi test gas , fuel additives, still happens! This has me totally confused. Need help, someone told me to replace the computer.
The mileage is 124000 and the year is 1996
Clean MAF sensor - tells computer mass airflow or rich/lean settings - could trigger the O2 sensor code if too rich. Check/clean EGR. This does have the newer style injection so could be fuel pump heats up and pressure drops - have to test at test port. Coil could be failing due to overheating due to ignition module never shutting off so always a low voltage to it. On from there.
ednedy07 Posts: 2Last night on my way home from a friends house I stop'd to put gas. I parked did the usual routine and as I came back from paying for my gas I lined up my car. I turned it off and when I finished I got back in my car and tried to start it. The thing was that it wouldn't start. It cranked but no ignition. So I got a jump from some guy and still no luck. The Battery light and the Service Engine light is on. And another thing is my power windows still work when I take the key out of the ignition. Please Help...N-E-one! :mad:
Replaced the Mass Air Flow sensor today. Very Costly and STILL does it. !!! Doesn't do it all the time, sporaticly, but it always happens when you really need to step on the gas in traffic, what now? How many sensors do I replace? This is baffling me as well as others. If the fuel pump is over heating, wouldn't that be dangerous being in the fuel tank? Plus, the fuel pump was replaced by the dealer 6 months ago. Please any help would be appreciated!!
That was why I suggested clean it! Clean the EGR also. Most repair manuals list details on these and also coil testing. If the pump is 6 months old and a Delco doubt it could be that - fuel pressure test is required to be sure. Did you check all vac lines also for rot. If you keep getting O2 sensor codes there should be 3 of them - 1 in each exhaust in front of the cat and 1 behind it. There are many things that could be causing this . Have you looked at the injectors where they plug into the lower intake to see if they are not cracked or clogged - plastic squeeze connectors hold them in but this requires removing the upper black plastic intake to check which is not easy if never done before.
I did have the injectors checked and even replaced the fuel pressure regulator . I checked the fuel pressure and it's KOEO 68lbs and with the engine idleing it'd 54lbs. which is within spec. I'm at wits end , the wife said if it's not fixed by weekend it's GONE, HELP, I LOVE THIS TRUCK!!!
00blazer Posts: 2I have a 00 blazer with the 4.3L vortec. Driving home one night from work it just died on me. I got it towed to a local shop and the found it to be the ignition rotor spun off hte shaft and put a hole threw the cap. So once this was fixed I started noticing that the truck didn't want to start all to easily. I've tested power and vacum lines. I've found that its not holding fuel pressure when the car is off. Any ideas on how to fix and whats involved? Any help would be appriciated. Thank you in advance...

Currently, Kirko is prepping his Atlantic Records debut set for the summer. To kick things off right, the 2013 XXL Freshman premieres "Hoe" featuring YG and Yo Gotti. Produced by P-Lo of HBK Gang, Bangz describes it as a fun and club record. "It got that Cali sound to it. It got that bounce to it. YG on it. YG got the place, of course, on lock right now," he says. "It got that type of vibe to it. It's some shit that you be vibing out to. It's some shit you can ride to."

"I worked with the cats that did "Drank In My Cup" for me and "Keep It Trill." I worked with Knock City on a couple good records on there. The Runners, they got a record on there," Kirko says. "It's gonna be crazy. It's gonna be a great album this year. A lot of people say their year is their year, but this is my year. I'm finna take over the game." - XXL

Public hearings set this week for I-94 freeway work
The state Department of Transportation will host two public hearings this week on the I-94 East-West Freeway Study.
The study concerns plans to reconstruct 2.85 miles of I-94 between 25th St. and 70th St. Design ideas include double-decking the freeway or digging a tunnel for traffic.
Department of Transportation officials say they hope to begin design work next year, with construction beginning in 2019.
The first hearing will be on Wednesday from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Tommy Thompson Youth Center at Wisconsin State Fair Park, 640 S. 84th St. Attendees should enter at Gate #5.
The second hearing will be on Thursday from 4 to 7 p.m., at Marquette University High School, 3401 W. Wisconsin Ave. Attendees are asked to enter the building from the parking lot on Michigan St.
The same information will be available at both hearings.

In the doctors office I grabbed a womens magazine. I noticed the topic of gun shootings all articles were about women living through horrifying experiences.
Being put into the position of having to protect children or loved one. Having to live with thoughts that will haunt forever. Each story ended with a statement about stronger gun laws are needed to keep this from happening. Fear of the unknown is reason for this belief.
We all need training, education, practice. Take your mother, sister, daughters to a gun training course. Women, we need to protect our children, parents, spouse if we are ever up against someone trying to cause great bodily harm, rape or kill. Knowledge is power, freedom is necessary. During womens suffrage, many people fought for our rights that enabled us to now make our own decisions about our lives.
Do not take away the things that can empower and protect you. Learn about ammunition, actions, types of guns, acronyms.
If you were in a room with a gun that needed to be made safe, would you be able to accomplish this, or would you run to find a man who might know how?

Whew! Its been a hot one. Whats going on out there? Weve been setting records for heat, tornados, hurricanes, flooding, droughts and blizzards.
Theres something bad wreaking havoc with the atmosphere, but it cant be global warming. According to our Republican congressmen, global warming is a myth.
When I was a teenager, I always liked rain because it made my dirty car look clean. Now, when it rains, it makes my clean car dirty or my dirty car dirtier.
This year theres less water available to provide the hydro-electric power we take for granted. Idaho Power warns us to use our air conditioners sparingly or face power outages.
They raised my electric bill 18 percent in April. I didnt see that coming. My average usage varied little during the past year. I know, because I monitor it.
Maybe Idaho Power needs to do more to endorse wind turbines and other natural sources of power instead of worrying about upsetting their monopoly.
This countrys major polluters dont own the sun or the wind, just the Republican Party.
I wonder if all the big wheels at Idaho Power use their air conditioners sparingly.

Distance seems so close. On Saturday, July 20, in the Nation/World section, an article titled Keeping A Promise certainly touched home for me.
From 1985 to 1990, I worked for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the Office of Veterans Services as a personnel officer.
During most of the time frame, I had the honor to work directly for Commissioner Thomas J Hudner, Medal of Honor recipient. The opportunity to work for Commissioner Hudner is the highlight of my 38 years of government service.
Mr. Hudner told me the story of Ensign Jesse Brown many years ago. For this story to be shared with me many years ago and to read in the Idaho Statesman on July 20 of Capt. Hudner going to North Korea to hopefully bring back Ensign Browns remains is a remarkable story. To conclude, I pray that Mr. Hudners mission is a success.
CHARLES J. MURPHY, Eagle
Editor's note: Mr. Hudner's trip to North Korea was cut short last week because of heavy monsoonal flooding. He hopes to return later in the year to continue his mission to find Brown.
Joan Hurlock was raked over the coals when Gov. Butch Otter nominated her for a position on the Idaho Fish and Game Commission earlier this year. She did not get that appointment, supposedly because she wasnt enough of a hunter and didnt have the right credentials.
What exactly are the credentials of the lumber company owner and the Magic Valley aviation company executive who were just appointed to the commission?
It seems to successfully become a member of the Idaho Fish and Game Commission, you just need to have an irrational fear and hatred of wolves, and advocate to see them eliminated in any indiscriminate and inhumane way possible.
