Ah-Ha! It's my caching preferences that are making the difference, and not the browser itself or the fact of it being asp. The IIS server is just stopping after a 304. Well, I've left the topic area of the Browser forum, and will probably need to haunt the Microsoft forum now. Thank you encyclo for pushing me to look more seriously at the server logs. I have confirmed the analysis, by the way, by setting my Opera preferences to "Never" for rechecking images. The page loads fine with that setting. However, I'd better check other browsers and set them to "always check"...it still looks like maybe Opera is stopping after the 304 rather than the server, because no more GETs arrived. ----- By the way, one cookie is being set, and the server headers are: HTTP/1.x 200 OK
Digging through the logs, I noticed that the Opera GETs stop after the server issues a 304 (a re-used image requested a second time on the same page). Once the 304 is sent, everything stops. But Firefox never issues a second GET for that graphic....

Exactly! That's the crowd they need to pay more attention to. This is the same crowd that bought the Wii even though it was terribly under powered and merely had a catalog of mini games. This crowd has cell phones, and therefore will be instantly familiar with a lot of the titles on the console.
You're probably right though. The shock value gets people talking. Unfortunately, it almost becomes a self parody due to the claims being made within it and the mainstream alienating style.

Will be available Mon 6/17 when my new phone is delivered. I upgraded so I don't have any need for this any more. This phone is still competitive with some of the newer phones, dual core 1gHz processor, 1gig RAM, 4G LTE, etc. It's been cased with a screen protector almost it's entire life so it's in really nice shape. It's never been rooted or messed with, I just used it for typical smart-phone type stuff: browsing the web, email, a few games and the occasional phone call. It did go through Android update at some point, I'll have to see what version it has. The phone will come with the white/gray Incipio Silicrylic Case (http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartph...cone-core.html) and I can include a charger as well as the box it came in and all of the literature that came with it. $100 shipped. Will try to get some pictures of it tonight.

Hot answers tagged dredd
When Anderson releases the computer hacker guy and lets him walk free. Dredd tells her that releasing a felon is not only a fail but a criminal offense. Anderson explains that she has already failed because she lost her side arm (an automatic failure). She says "I'm not going to be a judge and I don't need to be a mind reader to know it" implying that she ...
I grew up reading 2000AD and Judge Dredd, and the snippet I just procured from an IMDb user on the Dredd page below does a good job of summing up my own theories:
If you know the story-line in the comics, what Anderson is sensing behind his need for control is his sense of doubt about the judicial system. In the comic this sense of doubt leads him to quit ...
Dredd reasons that the detonator's signal will not reach the
explosives from the ground floor, so he forces Ma-Ma to inhale Slo-Mo
and throws her down the atrium to her death. (Source: Wikipedia)
So its clear that building doesn't blow up because of signal range.
No, Dredd 3D is not an adaptation or inspired by a specific storyline.
Alex Garland did consider adapting one of the more well known Judge Dredd storylines such as Origins, but decided that that he would not adapt such a big epic and instead went for an approach of writing an original story - a kind of 'day in the life of Judge Dredd'.
You can read more ...
Dredd in the movie was by no means a psychic. The scene that you're talking about, Judge Dredd after he was hit by that armor piercing round and was sitting on the floor he might have seen Anderson coming behind the bad guy after he had moved right next to confront Dredd which would have made him say wait to buy him some time.
The interview scene you describe was discussed here and is, in my opinion, nicely explained.
No, I don't think Dredd is a psychic. There too many tell-signs.
For example, the scene before MaMa clan starts shooting those three big guns. He had to go there and take a peek. A psychic would read it from the nearby corner. As we see, he goes by his guts and ...
Actually, my take on it was that while she acknowledged she technically failed, she ultimately turned in her badge because she couldn't handle the questionable ethics and the emotional intensity of the job. Case in point: she executes one of the Ma-Ma clan members who was begging for his life, then later discovers he was the husband and father of a Peach ...
I have a theory for the jacket, I noticed that in the initial part of the movie where they make the reference to three gangs who fought for control of peach tree namely
Peyote Kings
Red Dragon
The Judged
Its shown through a bunch of sequences as Mama clan try to fight for control and the last gang they eliminate is shown to be The Judged and ...
That whole wall seems to be an imitation of judge's gear. Helmet, jacket, assortment of weapons. You'll remember the movie starts with Dredd putting on his gear.
The imagery hints that Ma-Ma is no different from the judges (a running theme in the movie) and given that judges aren't even around most of the time she's a more legitimate authority. The clown ...
Paul Leonard-Morgan wrote the film's industrial music score.
Leonard-Morgan created music to suit the film's futuristic setting. He
experimented with band-based music, but decided it sounded
over-produced and too safe. He turned to electronic music and used
1980s-style synthesisers and modern sound modules to create various
combinations and ...
I think the jacket is a trophy from killing a high ranking member (possibly the leader) of a rival gang. The Judge's helmet seems to indicate that she keeps trophies like this, and seeing as they are displayed over the bed, I think she is showing them off. A woman like MaMa obviously feels the need to display her power often and violently, so it makes ...
Just a thought...
One of the interpretations of the paper unicon at the end of Blade Runner is evidence that Deckard is a replicant or synthetic human created for a purpose. Is it possible that Dredd is synthetic, created to bring the law to Megacity One. The film mentions that Judge numbers are so low they can only respond to 6% of crimes - synthetic ...
I noticed the wire tiger on my second viewing, I've just watched it again for the fourth time (I do love it!).
According to Alex Garland one of the crew made models from wire and he made the tiger; it does seem far too haphazard to put someone's little model in.
I had jumped to the conclusion that it was like the origami at the end of Blade Runner, but ...
Wouldn't say it was his doubt about the system, not at that point of the movie, at least.
From the interview about the comic-book sequel to the movie: "[This Dredd] is younger, a little more enthusiastic about his job as the years have ground him down less. He doesn't have any of the creeping doubts about the system that may have crept in."
Source: ...
From IMDB-Trivia:
In Ma-Ma's penthouse there is a Judge's helmet hanging on her wall with a length of gold chain attached to it, a nod to the comic design of Judge Dredd where the gold chain would link the badge to the uniform collar
Looks like the jacket kind of says "prop of" something or "proof of" something. Maybe the former. The way I hope it turns out is that's the jacket of the pimp she killed and he was one of the leaders in a gang. After she killed him she ran off to start her own thing so she could take on the rest of that gang. It would make sense since in the movie she spoke ...

Separate nuclear import pathways converge on the nucleoporin Nup153 and can be dissected with dominant-negative inhibitors
Current Biology, Volume 8, Issue 25, 31 December 1998, Pages 1376-1386
Sundeep Shah and Douglass J. Forbes
SummaryBackground: Proteins generally enter or exit the nucleus as cargo of one of a small family of import and export receptors. These receptors bear distant homology to importin β, a subunit of the receptor for proteins with classical nuclear localisation sequences (NLSs). To understand the mechanism of nuclear transport, the next question involves identifying the nuclear pore proteins that interact with the different transport receptors as they dock at the pore and translocate through it.Results: Two pathways of nuclear import were found to intersect at a single nucleoporin, Nup153, localized on the intranuclear side of the nuclear pore. Nup153 contains separate binding sites for importin α/β, which mediates classical NLS import, and for transportin, which mediates import of different nuclear proteins. Strikingly, a Nup153 fragment containing the importin β binding site acted as a dominant-negative inhibitor of NLS import, with no effect on transportin-mediated import. Conversely, a Nup153 fragment containing the transportin binding site acted as a strong dominant-negative inhibitor of transportin import, with no effect on classical NLS import. The interaction of transportin with Nup153 could be disrupted by a non-hydrolyzable form of GTP or by a GTPase-deficient mutant of Ran, and was not observed if transportin carried cargo. Neither Nup153 fragment affected binding of the export receptor Crm1 at the nuclear rim.Conclusions: Two nuclear import pathways, mediated by importin β and transportin, converge on a single nucleoporin, Nup153. Dominant-negative fragments of Nup153 can now be used to distinguish different nuclear import pathways and, potentially, to dissect nuclear export.

DNA-Damage-Induced Nuclear Export of Precursor MicroRNAs Is Regulated by the ATM-AKT Pathway
Cell Reports, Volume 3, Issue 6, 27 June 2013, Pages 2100-2112
Guohui Wan, Xinna Zhang, Robert R. Langley, Yunhua Liu, Xiaoxiao Hu, Cecil Han, Guang Peng, Lee M. Ellis, Stephen N. Jones and Xiongbin Lu
SummaryExpression of microRNAs (miRNAs) involves transcription of miRNA genes and maturation of the primary transcripts. Recent studies have shown that posttranscriptional processing of primary and precursor miRNAs is induced after DNA damage through regulatory RNA-binding proteins in the Drosha and Dicer complexes, such as DDX5 and KSRP. However, little is known about the regulation of nuclear export of pre-miRNAs in the DNA-damage response, a critical step in miRNA maturation. Here, we show that nuclear export of pre-miRNAs is accelerated after DNA damage in an ATM-dependent manner. The ATM-activated AKT kinase phosphorylates Nup153, a key component of the nucleopore, leading to enhanced interaction between Nup153 and Exportin-5 (XPO5) and increased nuclear export of pre-miRNAs. These findings define an important role of DNA-damage signaling in miRNA transport and maturation.

Kinesin-1-Mediated Capsid Disassembly and Disruption of the Nuclear Pore Complex Promote Virus Infection
Cell Host & Microbe, Volume 10, Issue 3, 15 September 2011, Pages 210-223
Sten Strunze, Martin F. Engelke, I-Hsuan Wang, Daniel Puntener, Karin Boucke, Sibylle Schleich, Michael Way, Philipp Schoenenberger, Christoph J. Burckhardt and Urs F. Greber
SummaryMany viruses deliver their genomes into the host cell nucleus for replication. However, the size restrictions of the nuclear pore complex (NPC), which regulates the passage of proteins, nucleic acids, and solutes through the nuclear envelope, require virus capsid uncoating before viral DNA can access the nucleus. We report a microtubule motor kinesin-1-mediated and NPC-supported mechanism of adenovirus uncoating. The capsid binds to the NPC filament protein Nup214 and kinesin-1 light-chain Klc1/2. The nucleoporin Nup358, which is bound to Nup214/Nup88, interacts with the kinesin-1 heavy-chain Kif5c to indirectly link the capsid to the kinesin motor. Kinesin-1 disrupts capsids docked at Nup214, which compromises the NPC and dislocates nucleoporins and capsid fragments into the cytoplasm. NPC disruption increases nuclear envelope permeability as indicated by the nuclear influx of large cytoplasmic dextran polymers. Thus, kinesin-1 uncoats viral DNA and compromises NPC integrity, allowing viral genomes nuclear access to promote infection.

Add/View Comments (0)Smad2 Nucleocytoplasmic Shuttling by Nucleoporins CAN/Nup214 and Nup153 Feeds TGFβ Signaling Complexes in the Cytoplasm and Nucleus
Lan Xu, Yibin Kang, Seda Çöl and Joan Massagué1,
Correspondence: Joan Massagué, 212-639-8975 (phone), 212-717-3298 (fax)Abstract
- The transcription factor Smad2 is released from cytoplasmic retention by TGFβ receptor-mediated phosphorylation, accumulating in the nucleus where it associates with cofactors to regulate transcription. We uncovered direct interactions of Smad2 with the nucleoporins CAN/Nup214 and Nup153. These interactions mediate constitutive nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of Smad2. CAN/Nup214 and Nup153 compete with the cytoplasmic retention factor SARA and the nuclear Smad2 partner FAST-1 for binding to a hydrophobic corridor on the MH2 surface of Smad2. TGFβ receptor-mediated phosphorylation stimulates nuclear accumulation of Smad2 by modifying its affinity for SARA and Smad4 but not for CAN/Nup214 or Nup153. Thus, by directly contacting the nuclear pore complex, Smad2 undergoes constant shuttling, providing a dynamic pool that is competitively drawn by cytoplasmic and nuclear signal transduction partners.

Presstopia CS Map v01.00.00 released
I recently created a
mapping application
for a
Community Server
site I administrate. It allows users to plot themselves on a map of the world to show other users where they are located. The application uses
Microsoft Virtual Earth
to create the maps and geocode the user's locations, and was developed using CS 2.1 and ASP.NET 2.0. It may however work with earlier versions too.
I finally managed to tidy it up and package it, and have made it available as a free, open source
. Enjoy!!

Grant back in work
Filed: Friday, 13th January 2012
By: Staff Writer
Former Hammers manager Avram Grant is set to be confirmed as the new boss of Serbian champions Partizan Belgrade.
novosti.rs report this morning that the Israeli - who had been out of work since being fired at West Ham following a disastrous first season in charge - was named as replacement for the outgoing Aleksandar Stanojevic at a board meeting this morning.
The website states that Belgrade offered the vacancy to Grant after being satisfied that he can "achieve results that are planned and expected by the army of fans", despite the 56-year-old having failed miserably at West Ham and in his previous post at Portsmouth.
Grant was hired by David Gold and David Sullivan shortly after they had fired Gianfranco Zola, who had kept West Ham in the Premier League the previous season despite having been forced to work on a shoestring.
West Ham finished bottom of the Premier League in 2010/11 having gained just 33 points - some seven points adrift of safety.

The La Sportiva Helios has no qualms about taking on a multitude of terrains. Road? Why not. Trail? Totally. Stream Crossings? Child's play. This minimal, fast-draining shoe will take you anywhere your legs can go. I'm pretty sure that if the Helios' integral gusseted tongue had the capacity for speech, it would say that it's up for anything. I also imagine that it would be totally annoying about embellishing stories and you would always have to be like "Dude, that's not what happened. You don't even have eyes." It would probably put a lot of strain on your relationship.

Purchsed these shoes soley for trail running but once I put them on I coudn't take them off! I wear them almost everyday, about to buy another pair to use just for running. Very well ventilated, extremely lightweight for the size and design, no cosmetic flaws yet. I've used them on several moderate trail runs, mountain biking, and hiking to some crags! Very pleased with La Sportiva and will probably never buy another american running shoe after using these.
I have logged 50 miles since I first bought the shoes and they are still going great and the tread does not seem to be showing much wear and that is even with a little bit of road wear in there as well. They work well for my feet but if you have wider feet might not be the best choice for you. I have noticed that sportiva shoes tend to be narrower than other brands.
These shoes are great. Super light, though with more support than the minimalist Vertical K and without feeling the rocks mash up my soles. Have done several 50k trail races in these, hold up well.


text: Pending Home Sales at Two-Year High in JulyThe forward-looking indicator hit its highest mark since the home-buyer tax credit was in place. By Claire Easley Pending home sales rose strongly in July, hitting the highest level seen since April 2010, according to data released today in the National Association of Realtors' (NAR) Pending Home Sales Index. The forward-looking indicator, which measures contract signings on existing homes rather than closings, was up 2.4% from June to a reading of 101.7. Year-over-year the index rose 12.4%."While the month-to-month movement has been uneven, more importantly we now have 15 consecutive months of year-over-year gains in contract activity," said Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist, in a statement discussing the numbers. "All regions saw monthly increases in home-buying activity except for the West, which is now experiencing an acute inventory shortage."NAR projects that existing-home sales will rise 8% to 9% this year compared to 2011.See the National Association of Realtors' full release discussing pending home sales in July.Claire Easley is a senior editor at Builder.

Crowds jammed into the Physicians Memorial Auditorium and three overflow rooms at the College of Charleston Saturday night to see Richard Dawkins, the world's most famous atheist and evolutionary biologist.

You make up your statistics? Secularism is not atheism. The Economist number, 83% believe in God in America. The other 17% are not atheists, some agnostics and some baseball fans. America ignores you, for the most part. |
Since: Mar 11 19,662 |
America is going more and more secular and it's great to see such a huge turn out. Sadly for the religious churches are closing at an all time high rate.
This is why believers are spending so much time, effort and money trying to argue with atheists. Their ways are dying, people are less and less likely to surrender control of their lives to an imaginary god. |
"The boys are back in town..." Since: May 07 11,427 |
Judged: 1 1 1 What Dawkins was actually quoted as saying was,Dont ever say I dont understand something, therefore God did it. The word "therefore" is crucial to the meaning of the sentence. I think Dawkins might be okay with I dont understand this, so I believe God may have done it. The former statement purports to be a statement of fact and a logical conclusion rather than a statement of faith, while the latter is a confession of faith in the face of ignorance, hardly commendable or intellectually defensible, but understandable nonetheless as it doesn't imply that others must believe the same as well. The problem with belief in the face of ignorance is that it often removes the motivation to overcome that ignorance by replacing it with knowledge. It causes some to reject any data that conflicts with that belief, failing to recognize the tentative nature of conclusions made without adequate data. Such faith sometimes encourages a stubbornness that causes people to cling to ignorance even when knowledge is easily accessible. And that is a pity. |

The trend is towards reduction of bias in general, but in all of the demographic groups polled atheists are still subject to more than any other category, including Muslims and gays. That bias is still high enough to make election to top positions very difficult for nonbelievers. |

Sergio Floccari sealed Lazio's place in the Coppa Italia final as his late effort helped them to a 3-2 aggregate win over Juventus. Lazio won 2-1 on the night with Alvaro Gonzalez and Arturo Vidal the other scorers.
Genoa pulled off a surprise in today's early match in Serie A, beating a Lazio side whose title tilt is firmly on the rocks, but the hosts almost let a three goal lead slip, with the Romans rallying, albeit futilely, to a 3-2 defeat.

12/22,23&25. 20th Anniversary of Kung Pao Kosher Comedy @ New Asia Restaurant. 772 Pacific St. SF. $44-$64. Featuring Judy Gold, Scott Blakeman, Mike Capozzola and Lisa Geduldig. Tickets/Information Available: Here.
Kung Pao Kosher Comedy™ is celebrating its 20th anniversary with the return of headliner, Judy Gold. In October of 1993, then 31 year old San Francisco-based Jewish comedian and New York transplant, Lisa Geduldig, had an epiphany that would solve a worldwide dilemma and answer the age-old question, "What are Jews supposed to do on Christmas?" She found herself telling Jewish jokes at The Peking Garden Club in South Hadley, MA at what she thought was going to be a comedy club but ended up being a Chinese restaurant, which she discovered upon her arrival. A phone conversation with an old friend from Jewish summer camp about the irony of telling Jewish jokes at a Chinese restaurant led to the idea of Jewish comedy on Christmas in a Chinese restaurant, and brainstorming Jewish, comedy, and Chinese food-related words led to the coining of Kung Pao Kosher Comedy.

I Need to Learn How to Say No to DoughnutsAssuming the doughnut isn't actually pleading with you (if it is, you have bigger problems), you simply need to work on avoidance. First, locate your motivation with a balance sheet; remind yourself about the evils of too much sugar, saturated fat, and calories, not to mention the lack of nutrients. Remember, too, that sweet treats can trigger swings in your blood sugar, priming you for energy crashes followed by more cravings for sweets. From the January 2009 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

DVD Review – Meat Loaf: Guilty Pleasure - Page 2
In fact, after watching "Guilty Pleasure" I'd venture to say that there may be no harder working entertainer in music today. Backed by some of the most dedicated and talented musicians I've ever seen, Meat gives his all. And even though he is likely fully aware of his vocal decline, he still leaves everything he has on the stage. 'Guilty Pleasure' is an enjoyable romp through the Meat Loaf catalog.
New Meat Loaf fans might be better served starting from the beginning with the original "Bat Out Of Hell", one of the best-selling albums of ALL time with over 43 million copies sold.
Having seen this concert, I still lament the fact that I never saw the classic Meat in his prime. Which is not to say that this DVD isn't up to standards. On the contrary, it only reinforces the fact that seeing Meat Loaf is more than just a concert. It's an experience.

New Nail Tutorial?….I Think So :)
This is my attempt at re-creating a design that I found online a while ago, here's the original picture….
and here's my finished nails…
Excuse my messy edges, I find that if I go in with nail polish remover and a Q-tip I usually end up slipping and removing half of the design, so I just wait until I take a shower to pick off all the edges.
Alright, to begin, I used the same black, yellow, and orange that I used in my last tutorial (H&M's Black is Back, Summer Sunrise, & OPI's Hot & Spicy), the only color that's different is the red, which is Color So Hot It Berns from OPI (below)
(Naked nails, OH NO!!!)
Alright, to get the colors to really look like they're blending into one another I used a little piece of an old sponge that I dipped into the polish and used tweezers to hold the piece and stipple it onto my nail.
So start off by painting your nails yellow….
Then use a piece of any sponge to stipple on orange, don't go all the way up to where you're covering up the yellow, and try to add a gradient….
then do the same with the red and make sure not to cover the orange….
Now, you can leave your nails like this, I just thought putting a black design over it would make the colors blend nicely, I don't have a black crackle so I just did the same design as the one in the original photo and then I added a layer of top coat. There you go, gradient nails made easy.

Unlike the others, Stafford's dreams came true.
In May 2007, Stafford won $112 million playing Lotto, but what is most amazing is that she'd been planning the big win for a while and even had a written strategy.
As a firm believer in the power of visualization and meditation techniques, Stafford had been envisioning that she'd win $112 million. She had been visualizing this goal for four months.
"I had been planning ahead by looking at the house I was going to move into, the cars I was going to drive and the charities I was going to donate to," Stafford told AOL News. "I wrote everything down, like a businessman writes a business plan, and I'd look at the list and focus on it."
Stafford first became interested in the idea of visualization around 2002.
"Growing up, I was always reading," she said. "I love books that deal with the mind and utilizing the mind. I wanted to see what I could do to connect with the parts that are underutilized."
Of course, thinking about winning oodles and oodles of money is something everyone does, but Stafford believes the key to her big win was that she had a plan for what to do after the win.
"You do have to have a plan for the aftermath -- unless you're Kreskin the magician and can predict the future," she said. "Otherwise, I try to live life as it comes."
Stafford's take-it-as-it-comes attitude is especially extraordinary, considering the difficult life she faced before her ship came in growing up in an underprivileged East L.A. neighborhood.
"Actually, it wasn't that bad," she corrected. "We were rich in the things that matter. We had love."
Still, in the late 1990s, Stafford had to deal with tumultuous change when her brother died in a tragic car accident, leaving his five young children in foster care.
Stafford quit her job and adopted his children, but she didn't have the means to support them. She became embroiled with court cases and hearings as she battled to regain custody of her brother's children for over a year.
Once Stafford won her big prize, she started figuring out how she could give a lot of it away.
"We were raised with the sense of philanthropy," she said. "Growing up, I was the person who saw the UNICEF commercials and would send my allowance. Being generous is just who I am. It's like it says in the Bible: As you give, so shall you receive."
Well, she's good at it.
In just a few years, Stafford has quickly become one of the biggest philanthropists in Los Angeles, donating $1 million to the Geffen Playhouse to fund a program that exposes children to the arts.
"It's important that we not lose a sense of culture," she said. "If we do that, people lose a sense of themselves. The arts help stimulate the brain and help people learn math and science. Plus, some children learn better in an artistic environment."
Stafford now sits on the board at Geffen and is also working on a new Internet portal that generates large resources for global philanthropic causes such as poverty, health care, the environment and education.
When Stafford isn't giving some of her fortune away, she works on expanding it in other ways. She is investing in new cancer drugs that show promise and has a production company, Queen Nefertari, that makes films with a message.
"I would love to find the next great speaker or artist," she said. "I am a seeker."
Stafford continues to visualize new goals for the future and admits that some of the things she focuses on are, well, personal.
"I am currently working on health goals, but there are challenges -- like if I see a cookie I want!" she said with a laugh.

I am an electrical engineer and industrial controls technician with 28 years experience. I have worked for decades as a backyard mechanic on automotive electrical, electronic, and computer problems. I have even repaired cars with electronic problems that diagnostic repair shops could not find and gave up on. This problem is with MY car. It is a 1999 Chevy Astro Van, 4.3 Vortec, 2 wheel drive with automatic overdrive transmission. VIN 1GCDM19W1XB136980. It has started to miss and stumble mostly at speeds above 50mph. It does not do it all the time, but it does it quite often. The higher the speed, the worse it is, especially from 70 to 85mph. I get code 300. I can sometimes drive 100 miles on the interstate without a single miss and then it comes back and sometimes badly. I don't seem to lose power or gas mileage, it just stumbles and runs rough. It seems to stop if I acclerate or decelerate. It does it crusing on level ground, but a slight increase in load such as starting to climb a hill seems to make it stop until the road levels out again. If I reset the computer, it may miss for 50 miles before the check engine light comes on. I have replaced cap, rotor, ignition wires, plugs, ignition coil, ignition control module, fuel filter and knock sensor. I removed and cleaned and lubed EGR valve, although the plunger moved freely. I have another computer, but it will have to be programmed by the dealer before it will even start the car. I think it is going to be the computer. All 6 injector coils read normal resistance. All vacuum hoses look good. I can sometimes make it stumble at a fast idle. With the cowling off, I can sit in the drivers seat and watch the engine jump. If I disconnect the battery to reset the computer for 5 minutes, I can sometimes start it back up and rev and fast idle with no miss. The engine jumping and dancing, and 5 minutes later, zero motion of the engine regardless of the rev or fast idle speed. Then it comes back. One possible clue. Sometimes my fuel pump sounds louder than other times. It does not seem to make a difference - it will miss if the pump is louder or quieter. By the way, I found a place that sells used computers for $35.00. I have gotten several over the years from 1980,s to present. If you get a bad one they will give you a free swap. If interested email me. The place is in southern Indiana. Help! [This message has been edited by kenmcg (edited 11-22-2005).] IP: Logged |

Look very closely at fuel pressure. These are very sensitive to fuel pressure changes. Put a oscillascope (if you can get your hands on one, you should your a electrical tech!) on the power feed wire of the fuel pump. I bet youll see spikes instead of a rolling wave form. IP: Logged |

quote: Erick, I'm a little confused. I can get my hands on a scope, but I would expect the fuel pump power feed to be 12 volts DC which would just be a flat line on a scope. I do suspect ripple or noise in the 12 volt power because my gas gauge flutters constantly at high speed. It works but it flutters back and forth about 1/32nd of an inch. It is like a slight blurr to look at the needle. I did check for AC voltage on the battery with the engine running with a voltmeter but could not detect any. Do you think the voltage regulator could be letting noise through from the alternator? If I did see ripple in the feed to the fuel pump, where do you suspect it would be coming from? Ken IP: Logged |

I had a 98 blazer with the same symtoms your describing. I took it to a friend of a friend after I couldnt figure it out. He jumped the fuel pump relay and attached his lab scope around the wire. On his scope, the wave form was very spiky. This cause a momentary loss of fuel pressure/volume that wasnt detectable with a fuel pressure gauge and thats very random. Its just an idea, seems like a fuel problem. IP: Logged |

quote: My local GM dealer can do a complete diagnostic with waveform analysis and all the bells and whistles for $89.00. I'm just to proud and studborn to give in yet. I think the gas gauge flutter is in the gauge, because my oil pressure, engine temperature, and voltmeter dashboard gauges are very stable and no electrical noise in the AM radio. I have Harbor Freight Tool stores in this area. Right now they have a fuel system pressure gauge with hoses and adapters on sale for about $9.00, so I'll pick one up this week. They had the best deal I have found on a code reader and resetter for $39.00 on sale. Everything they sell goes on sale a few times a year, so I usually just wait. I appreciate your input and suggestions. Even Autozone wants $400.00 for an Astro fuel pump and the most of the junkyards ruin them during removal because the fuel necks on the top of the pump are plastic and you have to disconnect the hoses BEFORE you drop the tank. I had to put a fuel pump in my daughter's 98 Astro and I looked at 7 of them before I found one that the junkyard didn't break the necks off of. I finally located a place that had one still in the vehicle and I told them DON'T PULL IT UNTIL I GET THERE. They still broke something else on it, but I could fix it so I got it for $10.00 instead of the $150.00 they were wanting. Ken IP: Logged |

My thoughts (for what there worth): 1) Using a low amp probe to look for a fuel pump problem is useful, as is just looking at the AC waveform on the B+. The amplitude is small, but the pattern mirrors the amp probe waveform. This helps more for pumps that occasionally won't start (although if you have a cavitating pump, you'll see it with the scope. A good one: 2) The fluxuation of the sender and gauge has little to do with the fuel pump pressure as the fuel level sensor uses it's own ground wire. 3) Don't buy a $9 fuel pressure gauge. If your going to do quality diagnositics, don't buy junk. Gauge jumping around? Is it the guage or the pressure? If I'm using my MAC guage, it's the pump. If I'm using my cheap-o, who knows....I have to put it on another good running rig to verify each time. 4) You are getting an intermittent misfire code. GM allows you to see the individual cylinder misfires to determine where the problem lies. I would suggest you take a look at them before jumping into one diagnostic strategy or another. If you only have a couple of cylinders misfiring, why not look at just those? See what they have in common and such....... Sometimes it is just better to hire a professional than to stab parts.....

You won't believe this. (I'm not sure I do yet.) Since you pointed me in the direction of a fuel pump/fuel pressure problem, I decided on a hunch to swap the fuel pump and air conditioning relays, since they are identical. I could not get anything done last week or until today. We had Thanksgining at Grandma's and then a second one at my house on Friday where we are Grandma and Grandpa. Plus overnight guests through Sunday. I am a CNC machine tool service engineer some 13 years now and had to drive 300 miles south on Monday and spend the night. My local Harbor Freight Tools store is 50 miles north and Monday was the last day for the sale on the fuel pressure gauge set. I went to the website for Harbor Freight and store locator and mapquest and found that one store was only 2 miles out of my way and another store was 6 blocks from my monday night motel. Anyway, I have the gauge set. Since I swapped the relays, I drove 650 miles in two days at 70 - 88 mph and no miss and no check engine light. I got a new relay today. I will put 12 volts to the coil on the suspect relay on my workbench and measure the contact resistance and they I will tear the cover off and inspect the contacts. Also, my fuel pump has never operated noisy since I swapped the relays. THANK YOU for pointing me in the fuel pump pressure direction. It was YOUR input that led me to a solution, if I indeed have one. Final results in a few days. Ken IP: Logged |

quote: I have a 91 Chevy S10 extended cab pickup truck with a 4.3 model 220 (2 injectors) throttle body injection system. It is a 4 wheel drive. It uses the old CCC or C3 Computer Command Control system. In the summer I can go out and start the truck and it idles fine from cold engine to full operating temperature. In the winter, I have to MAKE it run until full operating temperature or it will die. First it starts right up and fast idles, then gradually slows down lower and lower until it dies. After about 5 minutes, it will lope. It will rev and slow down and die. After about 3 more minutes. It will lope and catch itself just before dying - rev and almost die and after 5 or 6 loping cycles finally die. After about 3 more minutes of making it run, it will finally idle just slightly faster than normal, maybe 200rpm faster than normal. Then finally at operating temperature, it will idle normal and I won't see the problem again unless it sits for 3 or 4 hours. If you take off with a cold engine and drive for 8 or 10 miles you won't see the problem unless you have to stop alot. I never get a check engine light. In the summer, if you run the air conditioning, it will be fine on highway or city stop and go driving for hours - until you shut it off. If you try to go again in the next 2 hours, it won't idle until you make it run or drive it for about 5 minutes. It doesn't lope. It just dies like you shut off the key, if you let go of the gas pedal. It only does this if you run the air conditioner. I don't see any bad vacuum hoses. It does not flood, because cold or hot, it fires right up if the hit the key with a little bit of throttle. Any ideas? It is like it is responding to a temperature switch somewhere. IP: Logged |

It kind of sounds like a bad fuel pressure reg. I just had a dodge spirit that was doing the same thing, the reg was sticking and acting goofy. Ive seen a few of these w/ broken regulator springs, causeing weird surging/idling but will run fine warm. The diapram kit is only 30 bucks or somethin, so give that a shot. If not, closely inspect the IAC motor and hose to MAP sensor. small cracks can show up in very cold weather. Hope that helps. IP: Logged |

Remove the Throttle body and clean out all the passages. The PCV port gets restricted and you get the same problems. The PCV port makes a 90 inside the throttle body so remove and clean from both sides. IP: Logged |

I have the same problems with a 98 gmc safari van. Any clues as to what is causing the fuel guage to flutter like that? I also had the random misfire problem..After replacing the ignition control module and feeding it a bunch of fuel system cleaner the random misfire went away. IP: Logged |

This is kind of funny, I googled 'random misfires' and this page was the first result. I spent this entire last weekend working on the same problem. With a '99 Astro, no less. I've only just started. I tried the spark plugs first just in case, 'cuz it would be the simplest option, and on a normal car it would be. I now believe there should be private hell for whovever designed the engine of this vehicle. Not just for the hour dissassembling the dashboard and figuring out where the plugs were, but also for the hour spent figuring out how to get at them. Luckily only one is really difficult to reach. The others are only slightly difficult. But, starting up the car this morning the problem was worse. It seems to react to cold and wet, especially wet. The worst misses are only when there has been heavy rain. The sepentine belt seems to be squealing, too and it's a bit past due for replacement, but I'm not sure if that is a seperate problem. When I looked at the distributor cap there was some slight oxidation but not too bad. The rotor looked decent, no large burns or tracking, the only thing was a small black dot in the center. I'm not sure how to check the fuel pump at all. I'm nowhere near an expert on cars. I'm a mechanic by budgetary nescessity. Luckily I've accumulated enought tools over the years to tackle most things, but diagnosis is difficult. I knew there were misses, I was hoping the OBDII reader would tell me which cylinder, or something. But no, it's random. Should I look to the fuel pump immediately or try the belt or coil? As I said, I'm not 100% sure how to test these things. But testing is cheaper than random replacement. IP: Logged |

Question: What is the Difference Between Graphic Design and Desktop Publishing?
Graphic design and desktop publishing share so many similarities that people often use the terms interchangeably.
There's not really anything terribly wrong with that but it is helpful to know and understand how they differ and how some people use and confuse the terms.
Answer: The short answer:
- graphic design jobs involve the creative process of coming up with the concepts and ideas and arrangements for visually communicating a specific message
- desktop publishing is the mechanical process that the designer and the non-designer use to turn their ideas for newsletters, brochures, ads, posters, greeting cards, and other projects into digital files for desktop or commercial printing
While desktop publishing does require a certain amount of creativity, it is more production-oriented than design-oriented.
Desktop Publishing Software Is A Common Denominator
Graphic designers use desktop publishing software and techniques to create the print materials they envision. The computer and desktop publishing software also aids in the creative process by allowing the designer to easily try out various page layouts, fonts, colors, and other elements.Non-designers also use desktop publishing software and techniques to create print projects for business or pleasure. The amount of creative design that goes into these projects varies greatly. The computer and desktop publishing software, along with professionally-designed templates, allow consumers to construct and print the same type of projects as graphic designers although the overall product may not be as well-thought out, carefully crafted, or polished as the work of a professional designer.
Graphic design is the process and art of combining text and graphics and communicating an effective message in the design of logos, graphics, brochures, newsletters, posters, signs, and any other type of visual communication.
Desktop publishing is the process of using the computer and specific types of software to combine text and graphics to produce documents such as newsletters, brochures, books, etc.
Graphic Design = "Good" and Desktop Publishing = "Evil" Myth
Graphic design and desktop publishing are often used interchangeably but, in part because it is an activity also used by non-designers, desktop publishing is often considered a lesser activity than graphic design. In truth, the two are separate but intertwined disciplines.Not everyone who does desktop publishing does graphic design, but most graphic designers are involved in desktop publishing - the production side of design. The term desktop publisher can refer to a designer or a non-designer but it often carries negative connotations of an amateur.
Some graphic designers are quite vocal about their distaste for desktop publishing, which is somewhat amusing since much of what they do does involve desktop publishing. What they are really upset about is not desktop publishing itself - it's an invaluable part of the entire graphic design process - but rather the misuse (real or perceived) of desktop publishing software by non-designers.

NASHVILLE — Local customers of Chattanooga Gas will continue to enjoy the full benefits of a $735,000 penalty paid by ConocoPhillips in 2012.
Last week, the energy giant abandoned its effort to get state regulators to eliminate or at least cut the assessment.
ConocoPhillips attorney Tom Midyett last week notified the Tennessee Regulatory Authority the company was withdrawing its request to cut the penalty almost in half. Authority directors have rejected the proposal twice, most recently on June 17.
The Houston-based company ships natural gas to the Invista manufacturing plant in Chattanooga through intermediary Chattanooga Gas. The problem started when no gas was shipped from December 2010 to Jan. 6, 2011.
ConocoPhillips said it was a scheduling mistake caused by human error and the gas went elsewhere. The company argued Chattanooga Gas customers weren't harmed by the diversion.
But the act drew a penalty under Chattanooga Gas' tariff -- a state-approved rate and service schedule. The penalty is distributed to the company's residential, commercial and industrial customers as credits against their gas purchases.
Efforts to reach Mike Hastings, a ConocoPhillips official, were unsuccessful. He had previously declined to comment after the TRA on June 17 rejected the company's request to rehear its petition.
Tennessee Attorney General Robert Cooper's office, which represents consumer interests through its Consumer Advocate and Protection Division, said in a statement that "the ultimate outcome of this case saves the ratepayers of Chattanooga a considerable amount of money and preserves regulatory policies intended to protect the household and business customers of Chattanooga Gas Co."
ConocoPhillips could have pushed for a full-blown case with evidence before the TRA. But attorneys familiar with rate hearings said that, having lost twice, ConocoPhillips could spend a lot of money for only a slim chance the authority would reverse.
As a result of dropping the matter in an intermediate regulatory stage, the company cannot appeal the case to the state Court of Appeals, attorneys said.

While Music City dwellers have been struggling to fend off the cicada invasion, LeAnn Rimes and her new husband, Eddie Cibrian, have been soaking up the sun and sand at the Esperanza Resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
The couple wed last month in California, but work schedules kept them from taking a honeymoon until this week. However, it seems the trip was worth the wait.
âBeautiful night on the beach!!!!â Rimes tweeted on Sunday before adding, âGoing to sleep to the waves tonight!!!!â And just for good measure, she was sure to rub it in on Monday, tweeting, âWeâve been out for 2 hrs on the beach and in the pool!â
Letâs hope they're also rubbing in some sunscreen.
