Tabbed navigation w/ image backgrounds-text-align problems
Hi all,
I purchased a pre-built template from a company. Yes, I know most people would say this was my 1st mistake. But I'm trying to re-design a site for a professional org. I'm involved with in a hurry.
So, the XHTML/CSS files they sent me have some serious issues. Live links are below.
#1-The tabbed nav. menu has individual images as backgrounds. I'm having trouble moving the text for the menu to the right because it won't line up with the images. Everytime I try to use margin-left or padding-left on either the <li> or <a> tags, all the background images move to that value & screw up the flow of the nav. menu. What would be the best approach to fix this? Use <div>'s instead of <ul>?
#2-The <div> header has a nested div element for a search box. It looks like this was done because the two div elements each have a separate background image. Whatever the reason, in Dreamweaver the nested search div box appears below the tabbed nav. menu. I've tried tweaking the widths of the header div and search div, but they won't line up. Of course they line up perfectly in a browser preview. Is there something I'm missing or is this a DW fluke?
Here's the live link to the page w/ the tabbed nav. alignment issue: http://www.alarchivists.org/new-template/subpage1.html. And here is a screenshot of how DW is screwing up the header alignment. http://www.alarchivists.org/new-temp...late-error.png.
Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

What would be the best approach to fix this?Code:#mainmenu ul li {float:left; line-height:36px;
margin-bottom:0; margin-left:0; margin-right:0; margin-top:0; } #mainmenu a { color:#FFFFFF; float:left; height:36px; margin-bottom:0; margin-left:0; margin-right:0; margin-top:0;text-align:center;
}You don't have to check the compatibility of the display in DW's design view. It's not browser and thus it may not render everything right.Whatever the reason, in Dreamweaver the nested search div box appears below the tabbed nav. menu.

Ok, so for the tabbed menu images, to centre the text you should just need to apply:
That sorts out the tabs in the middle, but because of the odd way the images are constructed, the tab in the left and right hand tabs isn't quite right.Code:#mainmenu a { color:#FFFFFF; display:block; float:left; height:36px; margin:0; text-align:center;/*centre the text horizontally*/ line-height:36px;/*centre the text vertically*/ }
To sort out the left one:
and similarly for the right tab:Code:#mainmenu1 { background-image:url("images/homepage04.jpg"); padding-left:10px;/*move the text over to the right a bit*/ width:116px;/* reduced width to account for the padding }
Re your search box, if it's OK in a (decent) browser don't worry about it.Code:#mainmenu6 { background-image:url("images/homepage09.jpg"); padding-right:10px; width:117px; }

Berlin has more questions on state hospitalBy DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | November 24,2012MONTPELIER The state appears unlikely to meet its goal of starting construction on a psychiatric hospital in Berlin before the end of this month.
But acting Mental Health Commissioner Mary Moulton and local officials in Berlin say they think the $22.5 million project is still on track.
I dont think anybody saw show-stoppers, Berlin Development Review Board Chairman Robert Wernecke said Wednesday.
Board members had questions including what sorts of trees and shrubbery would be planted on the facilitys grounds and what materials would be used to build a retaining wall.
Wernecke said he expected the state would be able to provide satisfactory answers to the questions in time for his boards next meeting Dec. 4. He said the five-member panel would then deliberate and likely issue its findings later in December.
That would delay what state officials earlier this year had said they hoped would be a November start of construction on what has been a fast-tracked project since the Vermont State Hospital in Waterbury was forced to close due to flooding from Tropical Storm Irene in August 2011.
Wernecke scoffed at the idea the state might have expected approval from his board in time to start construction this month.
To think theyre going to have a shovel in the ground the same week we have a hearing is ... optimistic, he said. I think that would be a very, very high expectation. Im sure they recognize that.
Now the challenge will be the onset of winter weather, Moulton said.
Were hoping that it doesnt freeze over in the next couple of weeks, she said.
Wernecke said the project has drawn little opposition. Three parties asked to intervene in his boards review: the town of Berlin; the Berlin Mall shopping center; and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont. The shopping center and Blue Cross Blue Shield are near the site of the planned psychiatric hospital, which is to be built along a road northwest of Central Vermont Medical Center.
Wernecke said the town has been pushing for a promise from the state that if the town sets up a municipal water system something its considering the state hospital would be a customer.
Moulton said she will be talking with the town police department about any increased police coverage that might be required and how the state might support that.
The state has been under intense pressure since Irene to map the future course of its mental health system. Lawmakers last winter approved a plan to replace the 54-bed Waterbury hospital, which long had been viewed as antiquated and in need of major updating or replacement, with a 25-bed facility in Berlin and a series of smaller psychiatric units scattered around the state.MORE IN Vermont NewsLong-time city employee casualty of Barre budget process Full StoryMONTPELIER A new legislative report says the livable wage needed to make it in Vermont...

Gear Question
da man
what color is resin jacquard? better yet,...
what color is resin jacquard? better yet, what is jacquard?
What up mayne.. The Resin color is like a really dark green. Not really "sweatpants" green, more of a midnight green. The Resin colorway also has lime green accent colors which looks freeeeesh. Super sick colorway.
Jacquard means that there is texture or pattern in the fabric. On these pants, the material has some texture so it's not just boring polyester feel. Hope that breaks it down for you. Peace.

Tourists will be happy to know that most visits to Cyprus are enjoyable, and trouble-free. Cyprus travel can be a fun and exciting experience, and those planning a trip to the island will definitely want to experience its outstanding beaches.
Cyprus Beaches
Each of the Cyprus beaches offers something different. Some have silky, golden sand, while others feature a mixture of sand and tiny pebbles. In addition, some have small coves as well as sand dunes, especially those found in isolated locations.
Most of the beaches lend themselves well to water sports, including sailing, wind surfing, and scuba diving. Cyprus is a also member of the "European Blue Flag Campaign" where only quality beaches are awarded the coveted Blue Flag approval seal.
Ayia Napa
Ayia Napa beach is noted for its attractive and extremely popular Nissi Beach. The sea here is calm and blue, featuring fine, gold sand, making it ideal for sun-worshipers of all ages. A tiny island is situated approximately 100m from the shoreline to which people swim for fun and exercise. Taking this excursion is a favorite activity of locals and tourists alike.
Limassol Beach
The beaches of Limassol are some of the most popular in all of Cyprus, and the numerous fishing towns and villages that surround them only add to their appeal. Pissouri Bay, located between Paphos and Limassol, is an interesting tourist attraction, as this area is believed by locals to be the birthplace of the famous Aphrodite. The bay is surrounded by restaurants which feature traditional Cypriot food as well as outstanding views of the Mediterranean Sea. Kourium Beach, located just outside Limassol offers a spectacular view of the Greco-Roman Amphitheater.
Beaches of Protaras
Sirena and Fig Tree Bay are unique beaches that offer clear, shallow waters, and as such, are perfect for families with small children. Fig Tree Bay is the more spacious of the two, and cafes, hotels, and restaurants are laced around this busy shoreline. Konnon Beach is situated approximately 2km north of an attractive little village called Cavo Greko, and is a bit more secluded than the other beaches.
Paphos Beaches
Perhaps the most famous shoreline of Cyprus is at Aphrodite beach, where the goddess was said to have arisen from the sea. A little further away, surrounded by a collection of villas, is a horseshoe-shaped beach named Coral Bay. This area features the finest, silkiest sand of all the Paphos beaches, and one will see tourists and locals frequenting this area in equal numbers.
Turtle Beach
On the edge of the Akamas Peninsula, on the island's west coast, are some of the most secluded and attractive beaches in Cyprus, and those at Polis and Latchi should not be overlooked. Turtle Beach--sometimes called Lara Bay--is where the endangered green turtle species come each season to lay eggs. The area features an extraordinarily rugged landscape and is well worth some exploration if one has the time. However, visitors should keep in mind that due to the landscape's rugged terrain, a 4x4 vehicle should be used for sightseeing excursions.
Cyprus Weather
Cyprus features a standard Mediterranean climate, and sunshine is typical throughout most of the year. June, July, and August are ideal months for those who enjoy hot weather. Summers in Cyprus are dry, with temperatures easily reaching 95 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit in August. Pleasant sea breezes offset the long hot summers in the coastal areas, and such breezes are generally present throughout the year. Cyprus weather is mild in winter; however, snowfall occurs often in the Troodos Mountains, located inland from the shore.
There is no bad time to visit Cyprus, as each season has its own unique appeal. Those who enjoy sunshine and golden sand will have the experience of a lifetime should they choose to vacation in this beautiful area of the world.

JR: As we discussed, these measures are coarse. But to lose a lot of money, hospitals will have to do badly in multiple domains. If they're just a laggard in one area, such as patient safety, but above average in outcomes or patient surveys, it will balance out.
TL: Have consumers been using any of these measures—patient safety measures, satisfaction scores, and the so-called process measures like making sure a patient gets an antibiotic one hour before surgery?
JR: Most evaluations show that consumers don't use these data in selecting hospitals.
TL: Why don't they use them?
JR: A lot of things that put you in the hospital are immediate problems that don't lend themselves to comparison shopping, and consumers are directed to hospitals based on their doctors' preferences, their insurance coverage, geographic convenience or their general sense of a hospital's reputation.
TL: Are there any measures being used by consumers?
JR: That's a great question. I don't think a majority of consumers use any of them.
TL: That brings us around to our fellow journalists. How should they use these measures, if at all?
JR: Journalists can use them, but they should do so carefully. No one measure captures the overall hospital quality, and you should be careful about your comparisons. With the right context, I don't think there's anything wrong with using the patient safety indicators in stories.
TL: Can you give me an example where a news organization used them properly?
JR: The Dallas Morning News is a prime example of how to responsibly use the measures its coverage of Parkland Memorial Hospital. Texas has good discharge data, and the paper did its own analysis of patient safety measures, comparing Parkland to other large Texas hospitals. Patient safety measures were just one piece of the coverage. They used lawsuits and government inspection reports. So, bottom line: Patient safety measures can be a good piece of a larger mix, but they themselves are not solely definitive.
TL: What should journalists not do?
JR: They should not use them without talking to the hospitals, and they should be very cautious in comparing teaching hospitals to community hospitals. They should also make clear that they should not imply the safety ratings cover all the patients in a hospital. They cover only certain types of cases and accidents. They should also not assume that a hospital rated better than average by Medicare is in fact superior or trouble-free—those could be underreporting problems.
TL: So should they construct any rankings of hospitals based on the measures?
JR: It depends on the context. I wouldn't do the ten worst or the ten best hospitals.
TL: How should reporters use the mortality measures, considering that the latest research reported in Health Affairs shows they haven't reduced mortality?
JR: Just because publication of data hasn't led to improvements doesn't mean the data isn't accurate. The mortality data—rates of people dying within 30 days of discharge—is pretty good.
TL: Do you have any other advice for journalists?
JR: As complex as these measures are, they are great ways to get conversations started with a hospital executive you are interviewing. Also, when hospital executives say Medicare data is not accurate, press them to produce their own internal data to prove their data are more accurate than Medicare's.
TL: Think for a moment about reporters just starting to cover hospital metrics. What should they do?
JR: One thing they should do is drill down into the spreadsheets from Hospital Compare, because there's a lot more data than CMS puts on its website. For example, CMS publishes only the percentage of patients who rave about their hospitals, but the full data include the percentage of patients who panned their experience.
TL: Anything else?
JR: When you're working with patient experience data, you want to be very careful in comparing patient satisfaction in very different geographic areas. Patients in some areas like New York, Miami, and New Jersey are more likely to voice their complaints more freely, and hospitals in those areas are more likely to have lower ratings than hospitals in South Dakota.
TL: Should we be using the so-called process measures—like the portion of pneumonia patients receiving a flu vaccine, or the portion of heart attack patients receiving discharge instructions?
JR: I don't think the process measures make for great stories because they represent the minimal expectation for basic care. Most hospitals are getting a score of 93 or 94 or even 99 percent. It's not compelling to do a story that says a hospital has a three percent lower compliance on a measure than the average. Very few places are showing up as outlying poor performers.
TL: Then they may not be compelling for consumers either? Would you agree or not?

Like the other reviewers, I made this for the 4th of July and it was more popular than the fireworks! I've made it several times in the last year and it always gets rave reviews. And it couldn't be easier!
This is a creamy and delicious dessert, my wife and I love it since the first time we tried it. We've done it only with strawberries ans it's still fantastic
This is one of the best summer deserts ever. Perfect for the 4th of July. Not only is it beautiful, it's delicious, and best of all easy to make.
Mine came pretty close to the way this dessert looked when it was featured on the cover of the magazine. It was my first introduction to mascarpone cheese (although I suspect that my favorite bakery uses it in their cannoli's) and all loved it. I'm going to make it again for 4th of July.

Editorial: City Council must weigh residents' worries, local mental health needs
Like most places, Sacramento definitely needs more mental health services. But there are reasons to be wary about the proposal before the City Council tonight for a 120-bed private psychiatric hospital.
It's not only the loud objections lodged by residents in Woodlake, who oppose the bid by Signature Healthcare Services to build the facility on vacant land across Highway 160 from their north Sacramento neighborhood. There are also concerns about where low-income patients will get psychiatric care and how much local taxpayers will be billed. To do their due diligence, council members need to weigh all these issues.
The proposed hospital would cater mostly to patients who have private insurance and can afford high-end inpatient treatment for mental health and drug and alcohol abuse. County mental health officials oppose the plan. They say that Sacramento already has three similar private hospitals. More than than one-third of patients in these private facilities come from outside the county.
What's needed, the county says, are more psychiatric beds for the needy who are eligible for federal reimbursement under Medi-Cal. Federal money can cover nearly half the $950-a-day cost when the county places Medi-Cal patients in an eligible private hospital; the proposed Signature Healthcare facility would not be eligible.
After budget cuts in 2009 forced the county to close its crisis unit and slash its treatment beds in half, it signed contracts with the three private hospitals (Heritage Oaks Hospital, Sierra Vista Hospital and Sutter Center for Psychiatry) to treat some indigent patients for free in return for higher county payments.
The county wants the same deal with Signature Healthcare. The company is prepared to sign such an agreement, says Gregory Thatch, its local attorney for the permit. Good – there should be a level playing field for all the private facilities.
The county also wants Signature Healthcare to guarantee transportation and continued care to patients when they are released, and to provide at least $25,000 a year to help clean up the American River Parkway near the site; so far, the company has agreed only to assist volunteer efforts.
City planning officials, who are recommending approval of the project, say the conditions sought by the county on the permit "fall outside the city's land-use authority over this project."
City officials, however, have come up with conditions to allay residents' worries about public safety. Signature Healthcare would provide 24-hour security at the hospital site. It is also offering to provide private security patrols twice a day in the neighborhood and to pay for a $1,000 city permit that would allow armed guards to go into the city park.
Neighborhood leader Tom Powell calls the offer "obscene." He told The Bee's editorial board on Monday that the neighborhood doesn't want private security patrols, which he fears could create a Trayvon Martin situation.
Residents also assert that Signature Healthcare – which owns and operates eight hospitals in California, Arizona, Illinois and Texas – has a spotty record, including federal fines and a pending lawsuit alleging fraudulent Medicaid and Medicare billing at its Pasadena facility.
This decision is not a straightforward rezoning. Council members should consider not only whether this proposal is a good fit for Woodlake, but also whether it addresses the county's broader mental health needs.

Pappardelle noodles tossed in a creamy ricotta sauce with Swiss chard and salty Parmesan. When I don't know what to make for dinner I turn to pasta dishes like this with a few simple ingredients and minimal prep and cooking time. Even though the ingredients seem simple, altogether they are something special.

Hi bean lovers
I'm posting this here because I haven't gotten much interest in the Seed Exchange forum. If anyone would like to trade some of my tomato seeds (fresh, grown by me) for a few "shelly" type beans please email me. I got interested in them (shelly) by reading threads on this forum. I can't grow a lot in my small yard but want to try a few to find the one or two to continue growing. So far I have a unamed French flageolet (coming someday) and Kentucky Pole Wonder (also coming) but would like another one or two types in 10-12 quantity. If tomatoes aren't your preference please look at my trade page (mostly flowers and herbs). Thanks for reading. |

I have some "Purple Italian MARCONI POLE BEANS". Here's the description -- HIGH YIELDING PURPLE POLE BEANS will need a fence or trellis for support. The easy to see purple pods stand out against the foliage to get you in and out of the garden fast. Also are stringless. Pick when the beans are 5-7 inches long. Open-pollinated I don't have many but I can send you about 10 seeds if you would like to try these. I've never grown them (I purchased the seed last year). I would be interested in your Principe Borgheseand and Purple Russian tomato seed. Let me know. |

Gear Review
Super Warm Bomber Stylin
This is such a bad ass jacket! Its bomber style with a slim fit. Its super warm yet still fitted and allows for total movement. It has plush satin and taffeta lining which guarantees maximal warmth with low profile insulation. The sick extras on this jacket include quick- venting pit zips, a removable waist gaiter that can connect to any Burton pant for head to toe coverage. Last but not least the shell of the jacket is a Dryride Durashell which is a 2 layered coated heathered Dobdy Woven fabric (this means you will stay totally dry and warm and this fabric will hold up against any wipe out)!

How I quit my job to travel: The social entrepreneur
My decision to travel came as a surprise to many people. In 2012, after eight years as a social entrepreneur, I was headhunted for an important non-profit organisation in Ottawa, Canada. But I had already made my decision: 30 March would be the last day I would "go to work".
Growing up, my father – an airline manager – was often sent on international postings; meaning every three years we would move to a new school in a new city and learn new cultures and languages. My parents spared no opportunity to go on family trips as well: I was just 11 the first time my friends and I camped with Bedouins in a Jordan desert. My nomadic childhood meant that my feet never stayed grounded in one place until my late teens. In an effort to become independent, I tried my hardest to have a stable, life. I went to university, I bought a car, I worked full time – but it always felt like a bit of a struggle.
I remember the day I decided to travel long term. During a two-week tour across Mexico I met a group of travellers who were heading through to Central America. I, on the other hand, had to return home. As I boarded my flight back to Ottawa, I wondered what kept me from going on, to Belize, Guatemala and further. Deep down that was what my heart desired, and once I realised that, something within me shifted.
I started imagining all the places I would go, the things I would be able to do with my new-found freedom. Less than three months after the Mexico trip, I headed to Costa Rica, this time taking a more off-the-beaten-track approach to test the limits of my comfort zone. That trip turned out to be one of the most remarkable experiences of my life and I realised that great things can happen when I let down my guard.
Since 30 March 2012, I have travelled from the tip of Cape Breton on Canada's east coast to the source of the river Nile in Uganda. I have walked 850km across Spain on the Camino de Santiago and sand boarded the dunes of the Sahara. Travel has provided me with unexpected opportunities to grow and serve better as a social entrepreneur: inspired by the kindness of people in every corner of the world, I have helped find innovative solutions for communities in Europe, Africa and Asia.
- Volunteering at a school in Mbale, Uganda. (Saul Ekusai)
After three months on the road, I realised I wanted my travel to have more meaning, so I started exploring local initiatives to build a deeper connection with the communities I was visiting. My first stop was volunteering on an organic farm in a small village outside of Timisoara, Romania, thanks to a tip from a traveller I had met in Spain a few months earlier. I was so inspired by this work that I reached out to my professional network, asking for leads to other grassroots volunteer programmes. The outcome of this single email was an invitation to Kenya and Uganda by two organisations, Elimu and the Canadian Friends of Pearl Children, who work to improve the lives of youth in some of the world's most impoverished communities. I worked on the frontlines to understand their social objectives and assisted them in aligning their business and communications activities for greater impact. At Elimu, for example, we developed human interest stories to appeal to people back in Canada, using media, social networks and community programming strategies to deliver those stories with integrity and meaning. Working in the field, versus sitting in my office in Canada planning these activities, made a huge difference to what I delivered and how I felt about my work.
Word spread about my work with youth education, and I was invited to help create a programme in Pakistan to improve the quality of education at a school serving at-risk children from poor families. I raised seed funding to start The Lotus Project, and the 2013 pilot project has helped more than 1,000 children at a school in Karachi. At a distance now, I feel thrilled when one of the students signs up on Facebook and manages to locate me, when it was just a few months ago we started computer lessons at the school.

Only one woman had a better run than Fix as Fix cruised to victory. Chaffins 2nd place time was 5:35:08. Fronhofer took 3rd in 5:36:35. Mariana Lara Planas, of Colchester, VT, had a great run1:49:50 to Fixs 1:49:04to almost catch Fronhofer and finish 4th in 5:37:06.
Half-Ironman triathlons by their nature draw only the best-trained, serious triathletes. The Journey had athletes attend from all over the East Coast, Canada, California, as well as some from the Midwest. Vermont Sun events usually see about 40% of the field coming from Vermont. The Journey had 20% from Vermont.
Superior local finishes included Middlebury 50-54 age group women Caryn Etherington and Linn Larson. Despite a flat tire on the bike, Etherington took second in the group in 6:14:21 while Larson used a solid swim and bike to finish third, in 6:52:33.
Middleburys Steve Hare had a strong, balanced race, dominating the mens 50-54 group winning in 5:03:29 and placing 11th overall. Pete Solomon of Middlebury took fifth in the mens 45-49 in 5:35:12. Joel Palmer, of Vergennes, celebrated his 43rd birthday by placing tenth in the mens 40-45 group in 6:29:00.
Two Middlebury teams did very well as Townsend/Rosenberg/Carrara won the mens over-40 division, in 4:50:02. Team Holmes/Dayton/Madden won the female team under 39 group, in 5:10:40.
The athletes were supported with aid and refreshments on the bike course by the Middlebury and Vergennes Union High School cross-country teams coached by Chas Lyons (Vergennes) and Noah Hurlburt (Middlebury). The run course had members of Kelly Higgins Middlebury field hockey team handing out food, water and aid at every mile. Race organizers received many post race e-mails from athletes thanking all volunteers for the support, encouragement and aid they received throughout the day.
The volunteers on the bike and run course deserve a great deal of credit. They were absolutely awesome, said racer Julie Dewaele.
The kids energy and enthusiasm at the aid stations was amazing. It made the very difficult conditions easier to handle for the triathletes. We live in a great community, said race director Jerrod Rushton.
The Vermont Journey had many sponsors including local businesses Mr. Ups, the Middlebury Inn, All Occasions Tent Rentals and J.P. Carrara.

Todd Purdum: The Real Math for Obama and Clinton
One of Hillary Clinton's most persistent—if so far mostly private—arguments against Barack Obama is that he "can't win" a general election against John McCain. That's what she supposedly told Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico, just before he endorsed Obama.
For most of this year, in fact, Obama has done better against McCain in hypothetical head-to-head match-ups than Clinton has. And an analysis by our friend Chuck Todd, NBC's crack political director, now suggests that Senator Clinton's contention is far from conclusive. She and Obama both have similarly plausible—though substantially different—paths to the 270 electoral votes needed for victory in November.
Here's how Todd's math works:In match-ups against McCain, the states in Obama's base add up to 168 electoral votes, while Clinton's total 172. The states that lean toward Obama have 42 electoral votes, while Clinton's total 44. The toss-up states total 112 for Obama, and 101 for Clinton. The differences are interesting and significant: Todd gives Clinton a sure victory in New Jersey, while Obama is given only an edge. He gives Clinton an edge in Arkansas, which he says would lean toward McCain if Obama were the nominee. He sees Obama as more competitive than Clinton in Virginia, Colorado, and Missouri.
But the overall picture is similar. Big, important states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan are rated as no better than toss-ups for either Obama or Clinton against McCain. This alone helps explain why Clinton is staying in the race, however difficult her path to the nomination may be: she has so far done better in all of those states than Obama has.
But the math also suggests that it is dangerous, and self-destructive, for either Clinton or Obama to go around suggesting that the other "can't win." That kind of talk hurts both of them, and only helps McCain.

GMC Safari/Chevy Astro
dlm1954 Posts: 57Sounds like a broken cable or the back brakes are so far out of ajustment the brake doesn't work. The back brakes on these Astros was always a major problem the self ajusters are useless, I always ajust mine manually every 3 to 6 months or your using the front brakes all the time. I've never had any luck trusting the self ajusters, and I have to back out of my driveway every day so if they work at all the back brakes would stay tight. DLM1954
dlm1954 Posts: 57Also if ajusting the rear brakes manually does'nt cure your brake problem check cable if it's not broken there should be an adjustment by the rear wheels where it y's off to the wheels. I've always had to ajust mine manually or the rear brakes didn't work and I pull a bass boat through Tennesee and it can get pretty hairy trying to stop with just front brakes working coming down one of those hills; and most astros have not all I've seen have this problem. If you don't adjust the rear brakes manually they will not work properly. GOOD LUCK DLM1954
keeshond2 Posts: 4I checked the cable and all looks good, so I went to adjust the rear brakes manually. I jacked the rear end up, put the rear on jack stands, crawled under the van and there were no openings for me to get to the self adjuster. I was thinking about making my own opening. Looks like a screw driver would work pretty good. I think the cover GM used is just pop riveted in place. I think you are right about the back brakes not really doing much work. I have a 2002 camry that has over a 100K and original brakes. My Excursion has 80K with original brakes, but I go through front brakes on this Safari in about 30K.
I also tried backing up and pumping the brakes as I go, everyone on my street thinks I am an idiot because I went almost the whole length of the street doing this and no results. So do I break out the covers to get to the adjusters or do I have to take off the wheel and drum and adjust for the inside. I don't think that makes any sense but like I said earlier, I am limited on mechanical skills.
I would appreciate an advice.
Keeshond2 -
dlm1954 Posts: 57I usally use an air chisel to knock out the factory ajusting plugs but a screw driver would probaly work fine and I've used screw drivers several times to ajust brakes when I couldn't find my ajuster. I've got several for differant kinds of vehicals but when I need one I can't find it so sometime I'll just grab a screw driver. Just make sure you put the vehicle in neutral and turn wheel while ajusting so you don't lock it up; unajusting is alittle harder than ajusting. But other than that it's a fairly simple procedure. You can buy a pack of ajuster hole plugs at about any auto supply to keep debris from getting in the drum. You said you go through front brakes real often and like I said before these astros usally always are stopping with only the front brakes unless you keep the rear ones manually adjusted. DLM1954
flintlockdave Posts: 7We had the shorter wheelbase 1987 version and now own an extended (which became the only size available) 2003 and I have noticed this many time. We just look at each other and say "87." Wonder if there's some way to remove or modify the steering stops to give more steering wheel travel?
dlm1954 Posts: 57I have the EXT- ASTRO and it seems to have have a short turning radius that I have noticed, nothing like my longbed pickup which takes a 10 acre field to turn around. Does it have oversize tires because it seems odd mine I always thought turned really short for it's size and I run 235- 70's which is the largest tire recommended for the ASTROS without having steering problems. DLM1954
dlm1954 Posts: 57I'll bet that's it I forgot about the the height change, that is probaly the problem with 215-70 tires I would say with 15's you would have a lot of tire clearance; but there's one of the guys on here that sells tires or something and he says there is not much differance between the 215's and 235's but I know theres a differance in an inch taller wheels. My 95 EXT ASTRO with the 235-70's turns on a dime so that must be it' the height I guess.
jiggs1 Posts: 5I have changed out the transmission and now the cable that comes up to the linkage on the intake and hooks to the throttle needs to be fined tuned. A friend said he knew how and set it initially, it works after a fashion however it does not shift right. It goes through all the gears how ever it jerks in last shift and then free wheels at high speeds.
as long as it has to work to keep up the speed all is fine,,,, however when you let off the gas ever so slight and wait , it will coast and the engine slows up. if you want to keep up the same speed when you step on it that is when the engine has to rev. up to catch up with the forward speed of the van. Got to be the adjustment. Any help would be great.. thanks to all .. Jiggs. -
jiggs1 Posts: 5Hey gang, I hope I haven't posted this twice, if so please forgive.
I have just installed a transmission in my 91 Astro. It now does not shift as it should.
it does fine until the last shift, then it is just a little bit rough, ( it kinda double shifts) that is it bumps and then gives out with a small bump and then all is well, as it picks up speed and I get up to speed limit and ease off of the throttle it goes to free wheeling, if I let off the gas it coast until I put my foot into it and the the engine races to catch up with the rest of it.. I am thinking that the cable that comes up from the right side and is hooked inside the pan is out of adjustment.. does any one know the trick???? or is it a guessing game of hit and miss???? I had a friend set it when we got it installed and he said that it may need more adjustment or playing with... Help...
I can pull the dog house and play with it but is there a correct way to be right with out making ;a guessing game out of it... thanks for any help. jiggs. -
joelmich Posts: 3Our 1999 GMC Safari that has 125,000 developed a ticking/knocking noise on the right side of the engine. I have had some people tell me that it sounds light a collapsed lifter. The runs fine except for this noise. I put in some mystery oil from and the noise is not as nocticable now but I can still hear it. Now when ever I changed the oil, if I do not put a QT of mystery oil in the crack case, the noise come back but after the mystery oil is substituted for 1 QT of engine oil, the noise dies down but you can still faintly hear it. Has anyone else had this problem and is it really a collapsed lifter?

cbharobby Posts: 19Same thing happened to me. Cheap pot metal latch. Anyway, just bust off any left on the handle until its all gone. Just the piece that moves, not the body. Look in there, and the latch is pointed at the 10-11 O'Clock position.. Doors unlocked, just screwdriver it over to the 1-2 o'clock and it will pop open. You have a 4 screw panel in the side of the door. Take that off so you can see what your doing. What I did it just drill a 1/4" hole in the latch, and ran a bolt through it sticking out the back, to lever the door open. Had to elongate the plate (drill/Dremel/whatever), to get a full swing on the bolt. Worked for years now. The lock is separate, so even like this, no one can break in. Hope this helps. Be gentle with the other latches too. Had to replace the drivers door, and a real pain. Go to a junk yard if ya want, and you will see more. Maybe pick up one now for a spare, as Astros last a long time.
spike99 Posts: 239Perhaps your GM 4.3L engine has Piston Slap? Piston Slap is common on many GM engines. Especially the 4.3.
My 2001 Safari 4.3L has piston slap in really cold weather. Especially during its warm up phase. For more details, surf: http://www.pistonslap.com/photos.htm
For me, I get my local auto shop to install Synthetic "5-w30" during colder weather. In the summer hotter months, use normal Synthetic 10w-30 oil. This seems to help reduce engine noise...
Hope this helps...

dlm1954 Posts: 57The best way to determine a noise is use a automotive stethoscope because a knocking noise you think may be coming from one place will actually resonate from any where,and a stethoscope is the best way to find out.The 350 chevy engine has a push rod driven fuel pump and it's hard to tell how many people that's been charged for lifter replacement that didn't help the problem because it sounds just like a lifter and it's just a worn fuel pump spring or worn push rod. DLM1
cbharobby Posts: 19First, its a 4.3, V6, not a 350 V8. And had many, with never a pump rod go bad. Thing is, the fuel pump is in the tank, electric. And getting a "ear piece scope" in there is very difficult. If its a half speed always "tick", its a lifter. Piston slap will be engine speed, and a slap on the throttle, will increase it. Pretty simple. 50 years Chevy, 175000 my Astro...do what I said..Rislone...or just live with it until the cam gets "wiped", which is many years. Lose a little perfomance, but not worth any major engine work...
awdastrojunk Posts: 534 years in the automotive racket, I can tell you all that the BEST stethoscope which works and can been thrown at a wall, stepped on, drivin over and has multiple functions is..........: A very, very LONG Screwdriver!! Prefferably one with a synthetic plastic handle and not wood. The high impacts plastic gives a clearer and better resonance picture than wood. Again just my own opinion. I have a craftsman which is 24" and it gets almost anywhere I want. Those "Doctor" Ear type are good if you plan on giving a full physical and a " pap smear", then perhaps that may work well. But for us motor guys, I think most might agree with me that the screwdriver described is the best way to go and usually the cheapest.......!!!! You will be amazed at what you can hear and how clear it is!!
dlm1954 Posts: 57Some peple don't know how to use the proper tools, yes a screwdriver will work so will a wooden and maybe you could cut off your dogs leg and use it to, but there are the right tools and the wrong ones and you don't have to use a doctors scope they make one for autos in the twenty first century some people just can't understand how to use them I guess.Personally I've diagnosed several knocks with them with no problems as with a screwdriver but sticking a six inch screwdriver down in an engine bay with the motor running sounds a little stupid when you can use the right tool with a 30 inch line, of course that's only my opinion but I still have both my ears and all my head from not using a screwdriver, wooden stick or dog leg. I'm sure your quite an automotive genious but maybe you should update your tools a little more often. DLM1
spike99 Posts: 239Hi thebigal,
Thanks for posting your exerpiences of how to replace brakes on your van. Man, you sure do have patients. And lots of it.
For me, I do a much different approach. The high level steps are: In the morning, I drive my van to my local auto-shop, tell guy to inspect and if needed, replace the brakes. Before end of day, he calls and tells me that my van is ready for pickup. I walk to the local auto shop (which is only 15 minute walk away), pay the bill and drive my van home. Only thing I do NOT like is "paying for the work". But overall, each auto shop in my area always use the higher quality brake pads and best of all, I don't get my hands dirty. If wondering, I used to change my own previous brakes. But, had way too many experiences of slipped wrenches and skinned knuckles. Thus, I now let the full time auto mechanic brake repairs today. Luckily, the 2 auto shops in my area "are trusted", and always give reasonalbe rates.
Thanks for posting your brake replacement experiences. I enjoyed reading your well constructed posts. Like all of your posts on this forum, I enjoyed reading them. Thank you.

hulscher Posts: 3We have a 2001 GMC Safari and the whole entire pad from the back of the van to the front of it are SOAKED! We took a 6 hour trip this weekend to MN when we noticed we have a GREAT BIG problem! My husband has torn everything out, all of the seats, carpet and pad. Where should we start to look for the leaks? We know that the seal/weather stripping has to be replaced in the back of the van but we are wondering how could soooo much water be on the inside of the van. (granted it rained about 60% of our trip) I have read some of the similar postings but am not sure what step is next in this long process.
P.S. I enjoy our van very much and am a little distressed about this. I have to drive my husband's pick-up , so any advice to speed this up would be very wonderful! Thank you for this site!

Tall Buildings have enjoyed almost two decades of unprecedented development – built in greater number, height and geographical spread than at any time in history. That position is now under threat from the twin challenges of global climate change and a severe international economic recession. Many projects are being cancelled, put on hold or reducing their pace of moving forward as the recession tightens, and questions are increasingly being asked of the sustainable credentials of high rise, especially in light of some of the design excesses of the past decade.
We are at a unique juncture in time, where the global recession gives us an opportunity to pause and reflect on what tall buildings have become, and where they should head into the future. Are they meeting the challenges of climate change in helping create more sustainable urban environments? Is it appropriate for a tall building to be used as an icon to project the vitality of a city or country on a competitive world business stage? Have the fundamentals of skyscraper conception, financing, design and construction been sound in the past 10 years of boom, or is there a need for reflection and change? Will the projects that have stopped or slowed, even at an advanced stage of construction, ever be realized? What will be the signs of recovery and what policies can cities and governments implement to aid recovery?

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Great tire
By 08cbr1kk
from Dallas, TX
Comments about Dunlop Qualifier Sportmax Q2 Motorcycle Tire:
This is definitely an upgrade from the original qualifier. Tire seems to be more round shaped hence leaning the bike over is effortless. They warm up quickly, faster than the pilot 2ct & corsa III I previously had on the bike. I did, however, feel more "grounded" with the Diablos. Very close in comparison, but a better bang for buck. Better than the pilot 2ct in my books.

Awesome Tire for Street or Track
By Crotchrockety
from California
I've ridden on many of the new street bike tires, BT-016's, M5's, Corsa IIIs, and Power Ones. The Q2's offer outstanding grip that equals or surpasses every other tire mentioned above, plus, they offer better longevity.

Excellent Tires
By Cisco Kid
from BC Canada West Coast
I purchased these tires after riding on a set of BT021's. I am giving feedback relating to use on a CBR1100XX lightened up and modded with few extra performance goodies.These tires are some of the best I have ever used for inspiring confidence comparing to a set of Mich Pilot Power race on previous GSXR750. Turn in is awesome, wear decent, expect 4k-5k out of set. Heat up is excellent , traction excellent, Strong front grip under hard braking. hooks up well. Would buy again!!
great tires

Great all purpose tire. Not super aggressive Track days or everyday riding.

Space A Travel Eligibility for P/T Service Connected Disabled Veterans
Petition to Amend United States Code, title 10, section 4744 to include P/T 100% Service Connected Disabled Veterans eligibility into Category 7 of the Space A Travel Flight Program Benefit for available unused passenger seats.
Space available travel is a privilege that derives, in part, from United States Code, title 10, section 4744, which states, "officers and members of the Military Departments & their families, when space is available, may be transported on vessels operated by any military transport agency of the Department of Defense". Space available travel is defined as "travel aboard DoD owned or controlled aircraft and occurs when aircraft are not fully booked with passengers traveling under orders". It is a privilege offered to United States Uniformed Services members, DoD personnel & other entitled persons.
Out of the (6) Categories of current & former military service members. Our Permanent & Total 100% Service Connected Disabled American Veterans, who served our country, were discharged under Honorable Conditions currently are NOT entitled to this privileged use of the Air Mobile Command Space A Flight travel Program.
Currently our active duty service members & dependents, civilian employees of the department of defense & family members, DoD school teachers & family members, Foreign exchange students of the DoD, students, retired service members & dependents, ROTC candidates, the USO, Red Cross Personnel to Boy Scott Leaders, etc., are all entitled under the 6 Categories.
This privileged is extended to just about anybody and everybody, but the service member who served their country and was injured with a service connected injury that has become a permanent & total disability because of it.
SO, WE NEED YOUR HELP! RIGHT this WRONG! By signing you are letting your Legislator's know, they need to amend title 10 to include a Category 7 which will entitle all military service members with a 100% PT service connected disability, the privileged to be eligible use of the Space A Travel Program.
Thank You!

1 year ago Comments: As a person in this category (SC100% Disabled) I do not ask for any preferential treatment or to move to the head of any lines or service rendered.. I ask only to be included to the group of existing beneficiaries some who their eligibility before mine could come under question if exposed to the scrutiny of the American voters.

Once again, there has been senseless violence against our nation's youth in the recent stabbings at Franklin Regional High School near Pittsburgh. First and foremost, I would like to extend condolences to the families of those who were hurt by this tragic event. With God's mercy, there were no fatalities, but there easily could have been.
"Whoever killed a person … it shall be as if he had killed all mankind; and whoso saved a life, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind" (5:33). If this simple Qur'anic principle is followed, there would be very few of these tragic events.
