In a statement that came at 7:00am BST yesterday, the banking giant Barclays announced the departure of their chief executive Antony Jenkins. This news comes only three years after Jenkins took over the role when both Barclays' chief executive Bob Diamond and chairman Marcus Agius resigned due to the Libor-fixing scandal. The current chairman at Barclays, John McFarlane, will assume the role of executive chairman on July 17th until a new chief executive is found. Barclays opened on the LSE at 259.0p, reaching a peak of 262.0p around 12:50pm in light of the news before settling back down to around 257.9p. It therefore appears that so far investors have taken the announcement for a search of new leadership as a positive. But why was Antony Jenkins fired?
John McFarlane, the incoming executive chairman told CNBC that the board felt Jenkins was "not the right person" for the job. McFarlane went on to say that he felt the board had more confidence in his abilities than in the former chief executive. He further added it was "obvious" that Barclays was having a "number of issues" and criticised the bank's lack of agility and efficiency. There is a lot of speculation as to John McFarlane's overall involvement in the decision, arriving only two months ago as chairman. McFarlane also has something of a reputation for disrupting executive positions, considering his involvement in the removal of Aviva's chief executive Andrew Moss in 2012.
Antony Jenkins was also known to have differing views on strategy with Tom King, the CEO of the investment bank at Barclays. Tom King is said to have mentioned to several directors last month about quitting out of frustration, due to the contrasting opinions with Jenkins. One view that appears to have polarised views was Jenkins' desire to cut back on the investment bank to a level that King was not comfortable with. This came at an especially sensitive time when the investment bank is currently one of the worst performing divisions at Barclays.
Overall, with this large movement, Barclays remains steadfast, saying that this doesn't "signal any major change in strategy" and that the interim results will be announced as scheduled on July 29th. In terms of possible replacements for Antony Jenkins, news outlets such as the Financial Times suggested Tushar Morzaria who is currently the Group Finance Director at Barclays. This suggestion comes with a little more substance than speculation as the bank's own announcement referenced Tushar Morzaria, saying that he would work closely with McFarlane until the new executive is to be appointed.

Mark Wahlberg and Justin Bieber are set to duke it out on a basketball court to see whose balls are bigger! Paramount is in talks with both stars for an untitled basketball drama.
Apparently, both Wahlberg and Bieber are avid basketball players and the one-time rapper turned Oscar-nominated actor saw the young pop star play ball during a celebrity game for NBA All-Star Game weekend.
Wahlberg was impressed with Bieber's basketball skills, so impressed that he pitched the idea to Paramount powers-that-be. According to Moviefone, the project is being described as "The Color of Money" meets "The Karate Kid." Really?
Okay, so let's predict the storyline -- Wahlberg will play an aging street basketball player who sees potential in the young street urchin to be played by Bieber. Wahlberg will have son issues, while Bieber will have poppa issues. They resist each other in the beginning, but when they decide to join forces together, magic happens! Bieber wins the basketball tournament. The End.
Predictable right? You know what would make this movie work? Make the two sing and dance together!

I think this news is quite heavenly! "Glee" star Jane Lynch is set to play a nun in the latest big screen incarnation of "The Three Stooges" from the Farrelly brothers. She will star as a Mother Superior who runs the orphanage where our baby Stooges grow up. According to Deadline, Lynch will co-star with Chris Diamantopoulos as Moe, Will Sasso as Curly, and Sean Hayes as Larry.
But wait, there's more! EW is saying that "Curb Your Enthusiasm's" Larry David is in talks to also star in the comedy. It's in the early stages, but David and his longtime friends, the Farrellys, must make a decision soon because production starts in May.

Goodbye Ryan Gosling, Hello Armie Hammer? "Social Network" Star in Talks to Join Johnny Depp in "Lone Ranger"
Last week, we told you that Ryan Gosling was in talks to co-star in Disney's big screen adaptation of "The Lone Ranger" opposite Johnny Depp's Tonto. But sadly, Gosling was unable to join the Gore Verbinski-directed project because of scheduling conflicts.
Now, Deadline is saying that "The Social Network's" Armie Hammer is in early talks to star in the title role. Apparently, the story will center on Depp's character, which, as you may have guessed, would be an "unreliable narrator."
Can you imagine Hammer as the Lone Ranger? With a mask on? I think he would be perfect!

China announced Monday that its GDP slowed to 7.5 percent in the second quarter – big numbers by global standards, but poor for China. Economists are looking for signs that China may begin to revamp the world's second-biggest economy.
"This place is slowing down because they need to change the economic model because the old model has run out of gas," said James Mcgregor, an American journalist, businessman and expert on China who authored the book "One Billion Customers: Lessons from the Front Lines of Doing Business in China."

The harder you try to hold on, the quicker it leaves. Don't try to cling on to moments. Just cherish them. Live them. Appreciate them. Make the most out of them but allow yourself to taste the bitter and the sweet. And be ready to move on, because your life is calling.

While you may argue that the Touareg was the first SUV from Volkswagen, thing is, it never got the numbers being a high-end luxury SUV. Thus the Tiguan then is the first stab by VW in India at the lucrative SUV space. Sedans are losing favour and entry level luxury SUVs is a segment gaining momentum increasingly with a lot of competition. The Tiguan will not have it easy though as it has everything from the BMW X1 to the Hyundai Tucson to compete with. Has VW got a winner on its hands? And is it worth the Rs 31 lakh asking price (top-end)? We find out..
Looks subtle right?
Well, that should not be surprising now is it? As with all VW products, the design is pure understated elegance and there is a simplicity to its lines which is endearing. The front end is imposing enough with LED headlamps and DRLs along with a big grille while the side and rear appear to the be more sober but we like the all LED tail-lamps which spice up the slightly bland rear styling. What also helps though are the 18 inch alloys (Highline trim) which adds to the stance.
Build quality and paint finish is phenomenal and it feels solid. Overall like all their cars, it a fuss free design and stands apart from other SUVs. Like the Polo or Jetta, it will not get dated quickly and overall are fans of its design.
I am guessing the interior is all high quality..
Yep, business as usual. Overall quality and interior ambience is second to none and we would not like it any other way! The design is again what the VW philosophy is all about with the neat dash and well laid out, easy to use, clutter free design. Yes it is an all black cabin but the superb quality makes it shine through. Also the ambient lighting at night livens up the cabin considerably.
There is no base Trendline and VW has thrown the kitchen sink here. You have three-zone climate control, boot that can be opened simply by moving a foot in front of a sensor, panoramic sunroof, Vienna leather seats, Cruise Control, AppConnect, Rain and Light sensor, LED Headlamps with DRLs, 6 Airbags, Hill Start Assist, Auto Hold, Self-sealing tyres, electronic parking brake, rear camera, tyre pressure monitoring system etc.
There is no in-built navigation but the big touchscreen works nicely and we used navigation via Android Auto (Not available with Apple CarPlay). The drivers seat is powered and the seats themselves look and feel great with high quality materials all round.
The generous wheelbase means space and comfort is very good and the back, you would be happy with the space on offer plus thigh support is good too. With the sunroof, the all black cabin does not feel lacking in space at all and feels reasonably airy here. In terms of boot space it is 1655 litres with the rear-seat folded. In terms of storage, the glove-box is not really big but you have another space at top of the dash.
Want to know how it drives now..
There is only one engine option and one gearbox. Not that we are complaining as its a 2.0 TDI with 141 bhp/340Nm along with a 7-speed DSG. Standard is the the 4MOTION all-wheel drive system with variable torque transfer to the rear wheels. Before we start the Tiguan has the new gen 2.0 diesel so do not worry regarding its emissions or anything. Start it up and there is the familiar clatter but while the engine is slightly noisy at low speeds, it gets much smoother and quieter with progress in speed. At high speeds, refinement is really good- easily the best yet from VW and thanks to the wonderful refinement you pick out the slight wind noise.
Power is more than adequate and the superb DSG gearbox also gets credit. This 2.0 TDI is one of the smoothest we have seen from the VW stable. It is less erratic and the gearbox enables smooth build up. Lag is hardly there apart from the tiny bit at the start and it cruises brilliantly. You can use the paddles too which helps in spirited driving. Standard in the Tiguan is the 4MOTION all-wheel drive system with variable torque transfer to the rear wheels. There are also different driving modes on offer where things like the gearshift pattern and throttle response are altered.
Eco is where we thought the car was bogged down too much, Sport and Normal work very well. There is also an off-road mode where various off-road aids are bundled together. Now the 149mm ground clearance has raised a few eyebrows but fret not as its the fully laden figure with the unladen figure being close to 200. We had no issues with the ground clearance at all!
However the best part about the Tiguan is its handling. The light MQB platform aids flexibililty and the Tiguan drives like a big hatch. Body control for an SUV is very good and you do not mind pushing it around. High speed stability is fantastic with a slightly firm suspension set-up tuned to deliver near zero roll. Steering while light is direct and spot on. I have said that it has a firm set-up and at low speeds there is the VW firmness but it irons out mostly when speeds increase. But at low speeds, sharp potholes and bumps are filtered in but to be honest, it feels so nimble and agile that you forgive.
Final thoughts?
The Tiguan is every bit the car we expected it to be. It stradles between two segments and at the moment champions in many factors. Yes it is expensive (starts from near Rs 28 lakh), yes, its styling may seem conservative and it may lack the flash value but look beyond that and you have a brilliant SUV. Amongst the luxury crossovers at the moment it is among the best. It is built beautifully inside out, loaded to the brim, drives superbly, is reasonably spacious and its styling grows on you. It is an SUV built with clinical precision and the moment for sheer quality, driving manners, features, it is a very good deal. The Tiguan is perfect start for VWs SUV game in India.

Graeme Swann administers fitting last rites
Sahara Stadium (final day of five): England beat South Africa by an innings and 98 runs
The kill was a quick one. A victory that had always looked likely from teatime on the fourth day, once South Africa subsided under the weight of English pressure, came a little more than an hour into the final day on a ground empty of South Africa support. The margin of victory was massive, by an innings and 98 runs.
If the moment of success was low-key, it was only because the expectation was high after the events of the day before, the stunning nature of the achievement nonetheless for that. Once again, England, under the calm and purposeful leadership of Andrew Strauss and Andy Flower, followed near defeat with a comprehensive victory. They should patent the secret, bottle it and start flogging the goods.

The air bag, one of the foremost safety advances of the automobile age, can be dangerous to infants and children who sit in the front passenger seat. In two dozen accidents over the past three years, a passenger-side air bag has inflated with the explosive force needed to save an adult from injury -- but has killed a child. Seven infants in rear-facing baby seats were killed when the bag, expanding in less than a second at 200 times the force of gravity, slammed against the seat, crushing or inflicting brain damage on the child.
Engineers are working on technical improvements that would slow the bag's expansion or deactivate the bag when weight or distance sensors indicate a child is in the front seat. But those solutions could take years to perfect. Meanwhile, air bags are too valuable to abandon.
The automobile industry and consumer advocacy groups agree that the principal defense is alert parents who insist that their children sit in the back and buckle up. The same advice might save frail, elderly riders as well. James Hall, chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board, has called for engineering changes to improve air bags, but he rightly warned that there never will be a mechanical substitute for vigilant parents.Continue reading the main story

As a game developer do you: Risk a multi million dollar budget making a high def AAA title for the big consoles or spend 10% of that for higher potential return at lower per-sale price in the mobile market. Given the cost to develop, are you more willing to risk trying something original (that may flop) in the console market, or mobile?
It's a no brainer, and why the console market is the same old stale recycled garbage, and the mobile market has some of the most original game ideas seen in decades.
This whole "must be 1080p!" is what is killing the gaming industry. Because the games now cost so much to develop, no one wants any risk, and thus nothing original is attempted as it is risky. So we end up with "Call of duty 14" or "need for speed 25", which are mostly just re-skinned versions of the same old shit we've been playing since 1991.
Thing is, that's the nerd in you speaking.
The average casual gamer doesn't care. Example: wii being best selling current generation console: worst graphics.
The current iphone/appletv/android hardware is more than good enough and it is CHEAP. The games are CHEAP.
They work across devices - your tablet, smartphone and maybe TV set top box.
Top level graphics may matter to you (and me), but the average casual gamer just doesn't care so long as it is "good enough" and cheap. The new Xbox and PS4 are both good enough but nowhere near cheap enough and the games are expensive.
q: how many girl console gamers do you know?
How many games do the girls you know have on their phone?
My answers are: 2 and if my ex is anything to go by, 50+. Every single smartphone owning girl I know have many games on their smartphone. The mobile gaming market is many many times larger than the console market.

NADA economist predicts more than 13.9 million new car sales in 2012
As the U.S. economy continues to improve this year, Paul Taylor, chief economist of the National Automobile Dealers Association, predicts more than 13.9 million new cars and light trucks will be purchased or leased in 2012. Taylor, who is forecasting sales of 13.945 million new cars and light trucks for 2012 in the U.S., cites three key factors for the increase: aging vehicles, affordable credit and aggressive incentives.
Source: NADA Newsroom
Editor's note: NADA Chief Economist Paul Taylor will be available for media interviews in Detroit at the SAA Annual Automotive Outlook Conference on Sunday, Jan. 8, and during media days at the North American International Auto Show on Monday, Jan. 9, and Tuesday, Jan. 10.

Chrysler announced its best monthly retail sales in four year years, leading the pack of U.S. car makers who had capped a robust 2011 with strong December sales. Interest rates remain at historic lows which add fuel to the fire for consumers shopping for cars, said Paul Taylor, the National Automobile Dealers Association's chief economist. "Cash incentives and low interest rates are likely to be a part of manufacturers' efforts to regain market share," he said. Sales for the
calendar year increased 14 percent for the year to more than 2.5 million units.

Auto lenders are pursuing an unlikely growth market: people who have fallen behind on their mortgages. This trend also has helped auto sales, which were up more than 10% from a year earlier in 2011, partly because of increased availability of credit, says Paul Taylor, chief economist with the National Automobile Dealers Association. Brendan Hurley, an auto dealer in DeLand, Fla., ... says lenders have become more willing to work with dealers in structuring loan terms and to listen to
borrowers' stories.
Source: The Wall Street Journal
Americans' appetite for trucks of all kinds rebounded strongly in December, boosting pickups, vans and SUVs to a combined 54.8% of new vehicle sales. The strength of truck sales mainly was due to pickups and incentives that were more generous than usual. In fact, General Motors sold so many full-size Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierras that its pickup inventory — bloated as recently as November — fell below the 200,000 that GM wanted on hand at year's end.

Automotive business is war. And the next battle officially starts Monday at [Detroit's] Cobo Center, when the North American International Auto Show begins and 5,000 journalists descend on the Motor City. Last year, Japanese carmakers faced production and supply woes as a result of an earthquake and tsunami, then by flooding in Thailand. Now that they're back to business as usual, expect a formidable fight.

The NADA Story
The NADA story began in 1917 when 30 auto dealers traveled to the nation's capital to convince Congress not to impose a luxury tax on the automobile. They successfully argued that the automobile is a necessity of American life, not a luxury. From that experience was born the National Automobile Dealers Association. Today, NADA represents nearly 16,000 new-car and -truck dealerships with 32,500 franchises, both domestic and international.
"Cash incentives and low interest rates are likely to be a part of manufacturers' efforts to regain market share."

The phishers sent an email to the bank's clients along with a malicious attachment, which once opened installed malware on to the user's computer, according to reports.
The malicious software modified the customer's browser settings and directed them to a spoofed website whenever they tried to access their accounts online.
Once installed, the hackers used the spyware to collate banking login details and passwords, which they then used on the legitimate banking website to access the accounts and steal the money.
The bank did not disclose how much money the hackers took, but temporarily suspended the online urgent transfer functionality to prevent further fraudulent transactions.
"We are taking this incident very seriously and, in addition to informing our clients, are also implementing all of the technical measures that are at our disposal to stop criminals in their tracks," said Johan van Hall, member of the management team of ABN AMRO Netherlands.
"Safe usage of home and office computers is an essential requirement for secure online banking, and we plan to remind our clients even more frequently and urgently than before of that fact. In addition to being fast and convenient, online banking is also extremely safe, provided users take the right precautions," he added.

With spring comes the new leaves, the blossoms from the peach, plum and apple trees. We are glad the cold winter days are over.
We have already planted our Daffodils, already blooming. The plum tree looks like a white Christmas tree, it looks like it could be our biggest harvest yet. I have never seen oh-so-many blossoms on that tree.
We have just harvested the carrots this past weekend, in the warm sun late Sunday afternoon. It was good, sitting on the edge of the "stoep", my white winter legs baking in the sun, watching my parents work in the vegetable garden. To see the new leaves on the fig tree, and the the green ropes hanging from the young willow in the corner of the front yard.
Just to know that it is a new beginning. A fresh start.

Author's Pre Notes:
Much love and thanks to Dreamchylde for mentioning this theme and inspiring me out of my horrible writer's block I've been having.
Shelter me from the triads of hell and deliver me unto the arms of peaceful knowingness, for I am nothing without serenity holding me near…
The human words had been heard once, although where was beyond him. For remembering them in the first place, there should've been an inner battle existing, but strangely enough, there was not.
There are no standard ways of categorizing it…bearing witness to the horrors of the battlefield. It's one of those highly unstable variables that exerts no boundaries, only violent misgivings about the path its chosen. Everything that once existed is stripped into something no longer recognizable and tires to the point where exhaustion is nothing but a mere longing to have.
Glancing outward from the launching platform, Thundecracker hesitated. Sea gulls flocked above as the ocean air filled his wind intakes. Closing his optics, he breathed deep, letting the atmospheric gases pass through him untainted. In just under a few nano kliks, he would be there, on the battlefield, taking out the enemy with beautiful accuracy.
The talk said behind his back, about the lack of regard toward the cause, about the ever changing loyalty pattern to the duty at hand…He'd heard it all. But what is cause and effect if there are no explanations given in between?
Opening his optics, seeing the oceanic gateway span forever and a solar cycle, the human words punctured through…
The triads of hell….he was already bound inside them. There was no serenity holding him near, no peaceful bounties of pursuit, and no arms of knowingness beckoning him in…only nameless exertion holding him captive under blood tipped fingers….

OK, that's what I talked about in the last entry, the view from my study this morning. This was another day spent at home, relaxing, playing games, finishing Orson Scott Card's sci-fi novel "Ender's Game", winner of both Hugo and Nebula awards,
The book didn't impress me all that much. When it came out in 1985, it was criticized for the way it excused violence, but in the end it is not much more than a mix of Potter in space and Full Metal Jacket. In a way.
It's not a bad book. It's only not great. Still, I liked it well enough that I give the author another chance: I'll continue with the sequel, "Speaker for the Dead". Maybe the whole is more than the first part 🙂
The Song of the Day is "White Winter Hymnal" from the 2008 self titled Fleet Foxes debut album. Great song, see the video on YouTube.
4 Responses to "1185 – White Winter"
I also thought "what's the big deal?" after reading Ender's Game. I was not willing to carry on in the series. I'd be interested to know if they get any better…
I liked Ender's Game a lot more than you did (one of my all time favorite books) but I think Speaker for the Dead was my favoirite of the series. Xenocide (3rd in the series) was very good as well.
Your snowy scene looks very cold, but like the clouds are clearing and the sun will be out.
Ender's Game – well, I think I struggled through 2-3 of Card's books in that series, but didn't feel motivated to continue with the rest. In 1985 perhaps it won the awards because there was nothing better published that year?
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Nissan Pickup Owners Hangout
wise1 Posts: 91ny water or condensation in the dist. cap could be a problem. I have an 1986-1/2 pickup with the 2.4i engine and would like to know if any of you have had a problem with the engine not downshifting when you floor it for passing?? It's an automatic tranny of course but it bucks like a wild horse when you try to pass a slower vehicle. This truck only has 70000. miles on it and it was my late fathers truck so I'm trying to get things worked out little by little. Also what brand of brake shoes work well on this truck?? The brakes squeel when they are applied. :confuse: :confuse:
The truck that I have has recently began having severe power problems under 30 mph. It feels like it is starved for fuel, but it idles fine and revs up and down fine. But when it is in gear (auto transmission) it will barley move along at all until it reaches 30 then it takes off. This tells me that it is not plugs or wires. It is also intermittent. Under 30 mph it will barely climb hills or even go up slight inclines. Any thoughts?
It could be a timing chain that has jumped a few notches on the camshaft sprocket.
Remove the valve cover and check the front sprocket on the valve cam, You should see a DOT on the cam near one of the teeth. At that point there should be an odd colored link in the timing chain that matches up with the DOT, If not the chain has probably jumped. This will require removing the front of the engine and installing a NEW timing chain kit.
Good Luck!
That seems to be a major issue for this engine. I am puzzled as to why the problem is an issue only at low speeds and only intermittently, because once it reaches 30 mph it takes off like a rabbit. Thanks for the input.
boondocker1 Posts: 1My '86 Nissan King Cab truck has a strange problem with the passenger side headlights. When the regular lights are on, the light on that side is slightly dimmer than the one on the driver's side. When I turn on the brights, the bright headlight on that side doesn't come on at all, and the dim light on that side becomes so dim that one must look carefully to see that it is lit any at all. The lights on the driver's side are behaving normally. Any ideas about what could be wrong and/or how to fix this problem?
Hi,anyone know where I might find an intake manifold for 1989 nissan,2.4 pickup
What brake fluid is best?
If you want a new one you might have to get it from a dealer. I've got parts on the internet from Courtesy, but I don't know if they have the best price on an intake manifold. NAPA and similar auto stores have some of the parts that connect to the manifold.
Thanks for responding,I,ll check it out.Used is fine,best price I got so far is $200,
Dealer is outrageous,claiming they don't build them anymore.I don't want to spend more than the truck is worth.
Merry Christmas
I have a 1989 Nissan truck 4cyl that needs a auto trans will a 1993 240z work . What will? Please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
I wouldn't be too concerned out what brake fluid you choose for your '96 Frontier unless you're racing it. Check your owner's manual to confirm DOT3 or DOT4 (or either). DOT5 is synthetic I think.
HarleyQ Posts: 1I have a leak in my fuel tank and need too take the tank off. Does anyone know the procedure in doing this? Does the bed have to be removed?
I need a auto trans for a 1989 Nissan truck 4cyl col. shift. I have little money. Do's any body have one or know where i can get one? Email email@example.com or call 661-717-4667.
Thanks Bruce
I have a 92 nissan truck 4wd. 4 cylinder that I am having problems with. Sometimes the truck will sputter and not go at all when it reaches curtain rpms. (manual transmission) It only does it sometimes. It will run fine for days then all of a sudden start doing it again. Sometimes when I turn it off and start it back up it will run fine. I have replaced the fuel filter i thought it might have been something with the fuel. But i cant figure out what it is. What can this be?
plantpotter Posts: 9Just curious if you've noticed any correlation between the problems you've encountered and the weather, particularly high humidity?
no not weather wise. but the truck always runs fine in the morning after sitting over night
PALWETTO Posts: 1MY 1995 NISSAN P/U, 4CYL. 5 SPEED WILL NOT TURN OVER WHEN I PRESS IN THE CLUTCH. ANY HELP APPRECIATED
I would bet it is the starter relay. It should be located on the passenger side in the engine bay.
Regards !!
Your truck has a clutch interlock switch that prevents starting when the clutch is not pressed in. Perhaps the switch has gone bad. If so, the engine won't turn whatsoever. You will be able to find the switch easily near the clutch pedal. Unplug the connector, hook an ohmmeter to the switch and work it. If the meter doesn't register continuity in one position, it's your switch and it'll be a piece of cake to replace. Good luck.
I have a 1993 Nissan 4X4 pickup. How do I change the tail light bulb???
I do not have a repair manual and I don't see any screws to take the lens off.
Thanks a bunch.
In my case it's behind my bed liner. If you don't have one, it's real easy. If you look inside of the back of your bed, right behind the tail lights, there are two bolts. They maybe painted the same as your bed, so look carefully. Remove both bolts and the whole light assembly comes off. Now you can just twist each light socket to remove the bulb.
Thank you for the reply. I have a bedliner also. Do I have to take the bedliner out to get to the bolts???
Well, in my case I'm able to pry the liner back. It's kind of difficult to do by yourself, depending on how lose fitting it is by the tailgate. Otherwise, you might want to just remove it. Good luck
ultima Posts: 96Might be a stooooooopud question, but here goes...
I have an 1987 Nissan Hardbody Truck (2WD, Z24 Engine) as a second vehicle I keep around for projects and such and use my car (a Nissan Altima 3.5 V6) for work.
So here's my question... is there a way to ADD power-steering to the truck?
It's not a big deal for me to drive the truck (have always been able to handle the truck not having power-steering over the years), but my girlfriend has a VERY hard time driving it... turning the wheels while the truck is at a stand-still (manuvering in and out of the store parking lots, for example) and I was hoping there was a way to add power-steering to it to make it easier on her when she needs to use it.
Anyone know if this is possible? And if so, could you advise what would be involved in doing this... even what something like this might cost?
Thanks in advance!!!
RockZ Posts: 1Just had new starter, new OEM cables positive and negative from battery to starter sparkplugs,wires,and distributor cap,and rotor,and fuel filter replaced,and the truck still has a delay,or it won't start when I turn the Ignition.
Wondering if I need new ignition and is there something else it could be??
Please any help thankyou.
Check the starting RELAY. It is located in the engine compartment passenger side about a foot up from the firewall.
I just went throught the same sanario and it turned out to be a faulty relay......
Good Luck!
I have the exact same problem with my 95 2.4. my alternator went bad about 6 mo. ago, so i took my starter off and had a guy rebuild my alt. and check my starter because of the starting issue, he said starter was just fine. I had already replaced the battery, cleaned terminals, and i was going to replace the pos. terminal because it looked like there was some corrosion in the wire, and i figured that could be part of the problem. Friday I talked to a mechanic at nissan and I had him explain how to replace it and keep the fusable links intact. I started it up for him so he could see the sluggish starting, and he also suggested that i check my timing. I put a meter on it and checked the voltage drop while starting and it went down to 10.4 V, he said it should never get below 10.6, but even that seems really low. I also ohm'd out the ground wire, and it had quite a bit of resistance, the starting got noticably better when i used my jumper cables and ran it from the neg. term. to the motor. Well fri. night i got in my truck and it was dead, and jumping it didn't help so i push started it to get home. The clutch/inhibit relay clicks and everything goes out (radio..never lost presets, dome), the volt. drop is only .2V just enough for relay to click, i also swapped it arround with the A/C realy to be sure it was fine. At this point i'm out of ideas, and I'll probably just have to take it to nissan and pay the damn money...I HATE vehicle problems. Any one got any more ideas?
So today I talked to a guy I work with that used to be mechanic at nissan, and he said its common for some bushing or something to wear out because when it engages the starter it arcs and that causes it to wear away, and one way to tell if this is happening is to quickly keep trying to start the vehicle, and that will make the brass (or copper or whatever it is) piece to slip a bit farther down and let it make contact and start, then I would know it was my starter. So I tried this on my truck, but just my luck not a damn thing happened, so I figured what the hell I'll take my starter off one more time even though he said it was good 6 months ago, and have it tested again. It was every bit the b!7(# I remember, 1.5 hours later its out and I'm on my way to Advance Auto, where as luck would have it the starter did nothing! So now I know that the starter was bad, but I'll have to wait until tomorrow to install it to see if I still have the dead battery symptom at startup, if so then i'm taking it to nissan because that could be what killed the starter, if not then I know it was the problem.
colohunter Posts: 17I've owned this truck 11 years and have about 300,000 miles on it.
A few questions for my fellow Nissan Truck afficianados
I Changed the transfer case a couple of years ago. At that time I made sure the reverse sensor switch on the tranny was in working order but my Backup lights just won't work - or they'll work for a microsecond when I put it in reverse, then go out. What to do??? I thought the little piston on the sensor wasn't long enough but I compared it to replacement switches and they're the same. Any advice???
Next - I'm getting ready to replace the timing belt - how do I know when my motor is on Top Dead Center??? Any ideas about immobilizing the cam and drive shafts before I remove the old belt???
Also, I heard that removing the lower drive shaft pully is part of the job and that it's a real [non-permissible content removed] to remove - any truth to this?
Lastly, my steering seems kinda loose sometime - especially when I'm on asphalt highway with ruts and when I jack it up it's easy to move the front wheels right to left. Is it loose? Remember the age of this thing. Or is it suppose to be a little loose so there's less wear and tear when your 4-wheeling?
As for the back-up lights, disconnect the switch and put an ohmmeter on the switch leads. If the switch is good, you ought to see the meter move as you shift into and out of reverse. No need to run the engine of course.

- We met the Abusayaf group on the way to our apartment before curfew. We thought they were militaries but as we notice the badges on their arms, it was different.

Some speaks Illonggo, Illokano, Tausog, Marano, Maguindanao, Chabakano, Liaan, Nitibo, Kamayo, Surigaonon, and Davaoinyo. Davao mission is rich on culture and historical landmarks.

- Always prepare in advance. (Ramie)
- Bring shoes with thick soles. Bring more proselyting clothes and very few non-proselyting ones. (Rodel)
- No need to bring lots of clothing. Some are enough so that on transfer day there's no hassle. (Albert)
- Fold and go. (Lilibeth)
What blessings did you receive from serving a mission?
- First is that I got to deeply understand the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I felt like I was working side by side with Him. I learned to love the people around me especially my companions. (Neil)
- A loving beautiful wife and pretty respectful daughters. (Ramie)
- Many blessings. Being organized, using the commitment pattern in everything I do, learning how to set goals and plan and follow-up and evaluate have blessed me so much after my mission. (Rodel)
- Strong testimony, loving family, especially skills that I currently have which the LORD gave to sustain the needs of my family. (Albert)
- Have nice family relations. My beautiful wife is the greatest blessing from serving my mission. (Garin)
- I learned a lot to follow my leaders. (Rodrigo)
- Endurance. (Lilibeth)
What are some skills you gained?
- I learned how to play recorder flute, because one of the missionaries taught me. I learned more how to deal with people which helps me with my work now as a realtor. (Neil)
- I know how to cooked, I learned to manage time and advance planning, I know how to budget money and groceries, and socialize with other people. (Ramie)
- The use of commitment pattern. (Rodel)
- Communication skills, leadership, management. (Albert)
- Conversation with other people. (Garin)
- Faith. (Lilibeth)
What do you wish you knew/did at the beginning of your mission?
- I wish I already knew how to speak Cebuano and Ilocano languages before my mission. (Neil)
- I think I was very prepared when I entered the mission. (Rodel)
- To become a successful missionary- that's what we did. (Garin)
- Enduring. (Lilibeth)
Any advice/testimony for pre-missionaries going to Davao?
- For those who are preparing for their missions, I urge you to completely read the Book of Mormon, and learn to love your family. I know that as you do so, your faith will be strengthened and you will be more effective conduit of the spirit to further the Lord's work on earth. Please love your companion, your Mission President and your investigators. As do that, the Lord will feel your love towards him. (Neil)
- Serving a mission is only for two years or one and a half. Never waste your time spending it for personal reason or interest. Time is so short for you to do it. You will forever regret all the things you have missed to do while you're there. Give your best shot. For that is only one shot. If you miss it, then you miss your eternal happiness. (Rodel)
- Davao is one of the missions of the church, that is the best. (Albert)
- Just like my son when he go to mission- work hard, enjoy the mission. (Garin)
- Keep to the faith. (Lilibeth)
What was a funny language mistake?
- In my first area, we taught a less-active family and we were talking about cooking a goat. I asked the father how does he kill the goat? I said "binabanlian nyo po ba ng mainit na tubig?" The reaction of the father was like… "What did you say"?? My companion laughed at me because I spoke a deep tagalog language which our investigator didn't understand because he spoke Cebuano language. (Neil)
- I experienced a culture shock. I never expected it would happen because I am also a Filipino but it was so different in Davao. I spoke in Cebuano when approaching others in a bank or at the mall. To my surprise, one lady did not understand my queries because I spoke in Cebuano. I remember, one staff cued me and said: "Sir, please speak in Tagalog". So every time I'm in the office or mall, I used Tagalog but I was told, "Sir, bisaya pop". I was so confused what dialect to use. So next time, before I talk to someone, I always asked: "Bisaya or Tagalog?" then I'd got the right thing to do. (Rodel)
- They need to find out, especially in the Davao Mission which covers two different dialects, which means one word can have different meanings. (Albert)
- Ambot sa emo. (Garin)

Hey Anne :)
Well the tree is drawn and the background painted - yes, I mixed them digitally - the tree doodle is just made on common paper, therefore "tree doodle XII" just doesn't exist in that combined form. I hope that is not so disappointing ;). P

It was a notoriously crowded field. Yet as they gathered at a Town Hall meeting, only two gubernatorial candidates were on the raised platform.
They were Chris Ngige and Ifeanyi Ubah. By way of irony I had reduced the field that made it through the party rigmaroles to these same two candidates. Where did the rest of the field go? The answer is obvious and goes to the heart of why the Anambra elections can uplift or damage the future, not only of Anambra people but the Igbo Nation as a whole.
When I narrowed the field in facebook comments not long ago I got the usual mix of reactions, from those who agreed, to those who were genuinely upset at dismissing what the APGA leadership supposedly anointed for Ndigbo had done, to paid hands steeped in abuse on behalf of the APGA leadership. It was to be expected.I reiterate here that I consider myself a true friend of APGA leadership and as individuals they know how I relate to them in full appreciation of their persons. But for some reasons they seem to have become victims of Groupthink inadvertently set to damage the future of the Igbo Nation, in the path of their choice.
I have met with some of the APGA leadership and spoken several times on telephone and private brotherly meeting with the Anambra State Governor Peter Obi on evolving thinking about succession. I have also never quarreled with the idea of justice in turning to Anambra North, often left out, for gubernatorial candidate. I can see a few people from Anambra North who can lead the challenge of continuity and renewal. But I certainly do not see it in the direction they have turned to.
The Anambra elections are particularly important for several reasons. First, Nigerians confuse public office with leadership and so look to incumbent governors for leadership of the region. Secondly, the South East is not particularly lucky with current offering, ill health, age, and other challenges reduce the effectiveness of the current college of governors. Should Anambra be governed by an aloof, disconnected person, with a limited sense for how the Igbo nation should be engaged, the tragedy will be of greater magnitude than the afflictions before the Chris Ngige restoration.
My concerns go back to issues I have raised for more than 20 years which are now coming home to roost regarding care and strategy for the South East as my predicted Bontustanization of Nigeria is beginning to show its ugly face. I raised it repeatedly as a trustee and member of Aka Ikenga. On Chris Ngige's watch as President of Aka Ikenga, when I served as chairman of the Economic and Finance Committee of that Think Tank I was mandated to develop what I called the Niger Basin Project, a strategic plan for building a collaborating South East and South South zones into a region of economic prosperity.
In fashioning infrastructure linkages between production clusters based on factor endowments and new technology across the two zones the idea was to create a new Rhine valley in the NigerBasin. Lethargy in facing what is more important, including considering of the plan document at the WIC of 1998 in London has come to haunt all as the desolation of the homestead has bred the crimes of today. The vicious cycle is entrapment of for the people as keeping away from the home stead breeds more crime and more people keep away or need armies to visit home.
This clearly is the worst time for politics as usual as has been played by the APGA leadership which has relied on support from Abuja and playing the game of support from clergy as those who have disagreed with me on facebook, see as their assurance.
I know the Bishops of Anambra, both Catholic and Anglican. Three of them share a common surname. They are wise men and the Holy Spirit is still alive and at work in them. To use the wool of continuity to blindfold them on a greater good is not to give credit to the spirit of wisdom.
Given the way things continue to be done in Nigeria, anything is possible, as outcome but men of their word must stand up to be counted and so it is imperative that my voice be loud and clear, given the importance of this moment for which history will judge us all. Given how the APGA leadership has conducted things the field is narrowed to Ngige and Ubah, and Ngige is the man that fits the bill for the moment.
Of course, I have a partisan preference being of the same political party, the APC, as Dr Chris Ngige, but the bottomline is a picture much bigger. Like all people, he may not be perfect. Even if I criticized his not moving more quickly on the agenda I outlined at Aka Ikenga, when he became Governor, but there is no doubt in my mind that he is the person of the moment in Anambra.
In the affairs of a people there comes a time when grown men must stand to be counted. It is on the heads of elders that the coconut is broken. I have become one and will do harm to posterity should I not address a truth so naked. As I addressed Igbo elite, recently, Chief Simon Okeke smiled and whispered, the young have grown. I imagine he was thinking precarious 27 years old he first met standing beside the then vice – President Dr Alex Ekwueme. Many years have passed and several of the incumbent Governors of the South East call me big brother. I must not be like elders of the recent past who would not speak truth to power. I went for my conscience, history and God to judge me knowing that I was true to myself, even if I may be wrong.

Bodega Catena Zapata Argentino Vineyard Malbec
Wine Details
Wine Description
(1999 Vintage) The 1999 growing season in the high altitude wine country of Mendoza offered ideal conditions for the cultivation of truly exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec fruit. A dry, temperate Spring resulted in an excellent initiation of the vegetative cycle and an even, balanced fruit set. The warm, sunny days and cool mountain nights throughout the summer months allowed the grapes to experience a slow, gradual maturation process, helping to ensure a more complete ripeness.
