At Turnure Medical Group we are committed to helping patients obtain a healthy weight, but more importantly teaching them to maintain a healthy weight by establishing lifestyle modifications to their diet and exercise. Our program is quite different than most commercial weight loss programs as it is tailored to each patient's individual metabolism. The program uses only science evidence-based medicine and all instruction is given by qualified and trained professionals with college degrees.
We Offer Several Approaches to Weight Loss:
- Nutrition & behavioral counseling with a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist
- Individualized exercise prescriptions with a Certified Health Coach/Therapeutic Exercise Specialist
- Weight and body measurement print out using our state-of-the-art scale
- Nutrition plans tailored to YOU
- Medical weight loss program with FDA approved prescription meal replacements
- Safe FDA approved medications
Our programs are closely linked with dietary and behavioral counseling as well as exercise instructions. Our Medical Weight Loss and Nutrition Program is medically sound, individualized by a Nutritionist, Registered Dietitian, and Certified Health Coaches. Our Therapeutic Exercise Specialist is certified by the American Council on Exercise and all providers are supervised by medical doctors in the office so patients can be assured that any medical conditions will be addressed during the process. Dr. Turnure (Board Certified in Obesity Medicine) is the Medical Director of the program. Our staff also maintains continuing education through the Obesity Medical Association.
Why Is Being Overweight Unhealthy?
Being overweight is not an appearance problem, it's a medical problem. There are over 53 serious diseases that are caused by being overweight – heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stroke, diabetes and cancer to name a few. It is the 2nd most preventable cause of death killing over 300,000 people per year. Studies show that even losing as little as 10 pounds can reduce blood pressure.
Getting Started
The first step is to make a consultation appointment with one of our professional staff. They will explain the options of our program as well as the cost. Consultations are $35 and we have plans as low as $60 for a half hour visit. We are also able to bill some insurances and offer 12 months of "interest free" financing through *Care Credit.
*Upon approval of credit, minimum purchase required
At your first appointment, we will do a Body Composition Analysis. Our scale uses bioelectrical impedance (BIA) to estimate your body composition. It runs a light electrical current through your body, measures the degree of resistance (or impedance) to the flow of the current, then uses this information to estimate how much body fat you have.
Check Out Our Yelp Reviews!
Why the Scale?
It's a simple fact that you can't improve what you don't measure. Getting on the scale promotes accountability as well as reliability. We agree that it is not always about the number and that is why we offer a scale with bio-electrical impedance. Using this technology we can accurately measure your body fat and muscle mass index. The purpose is not to discourage you but encourage you.
How the Program Works
- Starting Phase: You will be prescribed low-calorie FDA approved meal replacements or a modified meal plan with your own food. We recommend weekly weigh-ins with behavioral, exercise and nutritional counseling for accountability. FDA medications will be administered by a physician if needed. We offer a monthly Newsletter with Nutrition and Exercise tips.
- Transitional Stage: You will be on a modified low-calorie diet where regular food will be put back into your daily routine. Meal plans can be provided by our Nutritionist or Registered Dietitian. Behavioral, nutritional and exercise instruction will continue to be used until you are comfortable that you can do this on your own. Some patients continue to see our staff on a bi-weekly or monthly basis.
- Maintenance Phase: You are now a Pro and have learned how to maintain a healthy lifestyle to keep the weight off. We offer an Annual Membership where you are able to purchase the shakes and bars at a discount as well as come in for weigh-ins every quarter. We realize that maintaining a healthy weight can be a lifetime challenge so we welcome you to come back if needed.

In Case You Were Watching the Game
- July 11, 2007 |
- By Alejandro Benes
By now you've no doubt read enough about the 78th All-Star Game and what happened between the lines. (Yes, Ichiro Suzuki is faster in person.) Let me get your eye back on the ball. The real headline to the two days I spent in San Francisco attending a myriad of All-Star Game events is: "Sabathia Snubbed, Throws Party."
The manager of the American League squad, Detroit Tigers skipper Jim Leyland, decided not to start C. C. Sabathia, the ace of the Cleveland Indians, in favor of Oakland's Danny Haren. For Sabathia, the non-start meant that he and fellow All-Stars Jose Reyes and David Wright of the Mets, Justin Verlander of the Tigers, Carl Crawford of the Devil Rays, Josh Beckett of the Red Sox, and Torii Hunter and Johan Santana of the Twins could stay out even later at Sabathia's 27th birthday party thrown for him by the good people of Crown Royal and Playboy at the movable Crown Royal Playboy Lounge, housed for the night at the Galleria Design Center.
The Playboy component was appropriately and amply represented by a dozen or so not-so-amply clad Bunnies, all-stars in their own right. The lighting in the atrium building was vintage disco in Crown Royal purple, making the bright white cottontails on the Bunny costumes that much more, um, intriguing as they bounced and gyrated to the tunes spun by DJ Jazzy Jeff, who wore a Phillies cap. The Bunny ears didn't move or, at least, didn't attract as much interest.
If there is an off-the-field, baseball-related headline to the 78th All-Star Game, it is that Barry Bonds behaved pretty much like a mensch all week. The consensus over cigars and drinks with some baseball executives -- at an undisclosed indoor location where smoking is not permitted by law, but was permitted by the baseball-loving owner of the establishment -- was that Bonds was generally gracious with the media, taking their questions for more than an hour, though he didn't answer the ones about steroids. It's unclear if tax evasion came up. He embraced the role of fan favorite, high-fiving well-wishers on his way into AT&T Park, though it's unclear if he greeted anyone who might have mentioned the "clean" or the "clear." Or tax evasion. Bonds even threw a party on the eve of the game but, unlike Sabathia's celebration, it was very private and, by all reports, Bunny-free. Bonds received a huge ovation when he was introduced hitting second behind the Mets' Reyes.
If there is an on-the-field baseball-related headline, it is: "No Splashdown!" The wind-blown flags atop the stadium pointed toward left field on both days of the festivities. The disappointment of the fans was especially evident on Monday night during the annual Home Run Derby, and more so if you were a fan in a kayak in McCovey Cove waiting to pluck a souvenir out of the water. Only the Twins' Justin Mourneau, last year's AL MVP, reached the boats, but with a foul ball.

Fuji XF 55-200mm | Michael Reichmann on Luminous Landscape
Fuji always dances to a different drummer. While any of the major camera makers would introduce one or more zoom lenses along with a new camera system, in Fuji's case, when they launched the X-Pro 1 they did so along with three primes. Not a zoom in sight. If I knew the Japanese translation for chutzpah, that's the word that I'd use for such an unconventional marketing strategy. And you know what? I worked. Instead of playing the me-too game that the other companies systematically follow, Fuji turned it on its head, introducing several fast primes before their first zoom, the excellent 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R OIS last fall. Now, in the Spring of 2013 they have started shipping a 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 OIS, equivalent to an 80-300mm in terms of angle of coverage. Incidentally, their lens road map shows a third zoom coming, a 10-14mm f/4 OIS. If you already own the Fuji 18-55mm you'll be familiar with the feel of the 55-200mm. These lenses share the same design aesthetic, and that's a pretty good one, especially given the lens' reasonable US $700 price. Fit and finish are first rate, and the lens is relatively light weight without feeling flimsy. As with the 18-55mm there is an aperture ring, but it is displayed on-screen rather than have apertures marks on the lens barrel, the way they do with Fuji primes. There is an "A" position as well as one for manual aperture control. Also, as with the shorter zoom, there is a OIS On-Off (stabilization) switch on the lens barrel. Zoom control is firm and smooth. Almost perfect. Manual focusing (when enabled) is fly-by-wire, but also has a very smooth feel. The lens is shipped with a lens cap and a metal lens hood.

Will China Call America's Military Bluff?
As a territorial dispute between China and Japan intensifies, Beijing is behaving toward the United States in a way that may initially appear counterintuitive. Although China has not openly sought U.S. mediation in the row, its Foreign Ministry has issued statements designed to provoke increased U.S. involvement.
Why would China want to draw the U.S.—the world's foremost military power—into the conflict?
There is a clear explanation.
'This Land Is My Land!'
China claims that the Diaoyu islands—called Senkaku in Japan—have been a part of its territory since 1534 or earlier. Japan rejects those claims and says Tokyo has full sovereignty over them. The dispute has simmered for decades, but it greatly intensified in September 2012 when the Japanese government bought the islands from their private Japanese owner.
The purchase infuriated the Chinese, prompting them to make many incursions into the waters and skies around the islands. These moves are designed to challenge Japanese control.
Washington's Role
As Japan's longtime ally, the United States is obliged to defend Tokyo in the row. Although Washington doesn't take an official stance on the sovereignty of the islands, it recognizes Japanese administrative control of them, and acknowledges that they fall under the U.S.'s security and defense agreements with Japan. Since Tokyo has also admitted shortcomings in its defense abilities that leave it unable to effectively counter Chinese activity around the islands, it's clear that, in the event of a conflict, Japan would depend significantly on U.S. backing.
The U.S. hopes that its pledge to militarily back Tokyo will frighten China, and prevent Beijing from taking more aggressive action in the dispute.
But does America's pledge actually intimidate China?
'Peace in Our Time'
In his second inaugural address on January 21, President Obama mentioned "peace in our time," a phrase made infamous by former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain as he promised that the world would have peace with Adolf Hitler before World War ii. Perhaps the president didn't intend to quote Chamberlain, but the phrase encapsulates the naive nature of his foreign affairs.
"A decade of war is now ending," Mr. Obama also said. And his actions suggest that he believes his words. He pulled the U.S. out of Iraq in his first term, and has mapped out a plan to follow suit in Afghanistan during his second. His decision to nominate Chuck Hagel as defense secretary screams "anti-interventionist" as loudly as anything could.
Writing for the Financial Times on January 21, Gideon Rachman said: "In foreign affairs, it looks as though Mr. Obama's biggest goal is to be the president who brought the boys back home. … It is already clear that in the second Obama term, the Pentagon budget will fall—and America will seek to cut back rather than expand its foreign engagements."
The idea of being drawn into a conflict with China is nearly too unbearable for the current administration to contemplate. And clear understanding of this truth has fueled China's increasingly provocative rhetoric toward Washington.
Counterintuitive Behavior From Beijing?
On the same day as Mr. Obama's speech, China's Foreign Ministry accused Washington of bearing "undeniable historical responsibility on the Diaoyu issue." Why? This angry charge was made in response to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton saying Washington opposed any action that would undermine Japan's administration of the islands. Clinton's comments "ignore facts and confuse truth with untruth. China is strongly displeased and firmly opposed to it," the Chinese statement continued. It was the second time in a matter of days that Beijing had placed some of the blame on Washington for the Sino-Japanese territorial frictions.
Many analysts wonder why China would spout off provocative rhetoric toward the U.S., since logic suggests that China would want to keep the world's most powerful military far from the conflict. Taiwan's Beijing-friendly China Post said the Chinese statements about the U.S. "appear to be an attempt to prompt Washington to use its influence to soften the stance of Japan, which has steadfastly refused to hold talks over the islands" (January 22).
Softening Japan's stance may be one outcome China desires, but Beijing could be banking on another significantly more far-reaching result: to expose the U.S. military as a force that can be countered.
Beijing views the outcome of any potential confrontation a question of will more than of military might. On this front, the U.S. is at an overwhelming disadvantage. Because of this, the threat of U.S. military involvement may not only fail to deter China from increasing its provocations, it may serve as a prime opportunity for Beijing to expose the U.S. as a timid and unreliable ally to Japan.
Stratfor points out that Beijing may view U.S. involvement in the dispute as an "opportunity to reshape regional perceptions of Washington's military commitment to Asia" (January 21). Since the U.S. is a war-weary power still struggling to extricate itself from over a decade of war in Afghanistan, "Beijing is calculating that Washington will continue to seek to avoid new conflict in Asia" (ibid).
There is a stark dichotomy between the peace-in-our-time U.S. and increasingly confrontational China. When war becomes a question of will, the outcome between these two is already determined.
'I Will Break the Pride of Your Power'
If the situation plays out as Beijing hopes, China will be able to vividly prove to America's allies that Beijing can effectively neutralize U.S. military power in Asia. If the U.S.'s Asian allies see that alliances with America are not reliable, their survival instinct will compel them to instead rally behind China.
Such an outcome would have repercussions far beyond Asia. It would confirm what the U.S.'s Middle Eastern enemies have long suspected, and greatly embolden radical Islam. It would also show Europe that the world needs a new superpower—one with a spine—and hasten the EU's unification to fill this power vacuum.
The U.S., as a military power, is in rapid decline. This sobering deterioration of America's military resolve was forecast decades ago by Herbert W. Armstrong. Just after the Bay of Pigs fiasco of 1961, Mr. Armstrong pinned the blame for America's loss not on the nation's military, or even on President Kennedy, but on the American people: "Unless or until the United States as a whole repents and returns to what has become a hollow slogan on its dollars: 'In God we trust,' the United States of America has won its last war! … [T]he God America has deserted gave it its most humiliating defeat! What does the Cuban debacle mean? It means, Mr. and Mrs. United States, that the handwriting is on your wall!" (Plain Truth, October 1961).
Mr. Armstrong based this sobering forecast on a biblical prophecy about what God would do with America's will to use its tremendous power if it rejected God's law: "I will break the pride of your power" (Leviticus 26:19). In the decades since Mr. Armstrong wrote those words, the American people have increasingly rejected God's law, and the U.S. has thrown varying degrees of its weight behind dozens of military conflicts. Each of the halfhearted efforts has sapped a little more of the nation's pride in its power.
Then, on Sept. 11, 2012, terrorists attacked the U.S.'s diplomatic mission at Benghazi, Libya, killing four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens—all on the anniversary of the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center. It was an act of war, and the ultimate insult to the U.S., yet Washington's bewildering response was to apologize for the production of a video that was not actually related to the attack.
Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry said the U.S.'s flaccid response to that act of war meant the Leviticus 26:19 prophecy had then been fully fulfilled: "It's no longer God saying, 'i will break the pride of your power." It's now God has broken it! I've never seen America in such a low as this!"(Satellite Transmission, October 1, 2012).
The Chinese seem to recognize the U.S.'s shattered will to use its power. And they may well be preparing to put those tatters on display for the whole world. To understand what this broken pride will mean for the U.S. in the years ahead, read The United States and Britain in Prophecy.

There's Something Unholy In The Way He Kills.
A young Jesuit Priest, Michael Killan, is summoned home when his brother is found savagely murdered, one in a series of terrible killings.
The body of a young woman is also discovered. Like Michael's brother, her blood has been smeared across the walls. To Michael, it is a message that the murderer is driven by a deep spiritual torment, and is certain to kill again. Determined to stop the killer, Michael descends into an urban underworld that threatens to destroy everything he believes in. Driven by a lust for revenge, tempted by the love of a woman, d by a pain within him equal to the killer's, a new battle between good and evil is about to commence. Those who have lost their faith have nothing left to lose. The question is not who will win - the question is who will die.

I Need Help with L-Jet / AFC Fuel Injection Topic FAQ

It should pulse from what I understand - I used a DMM, not a test light and got varied readings.
This sounds very reminiscent of my problem...you read my build thread, the parts about where I found two connectors that I had mistakenly grounded, that grounded out the entire FI system, right?
If the test light is connected between the terminals in an injector plug then it sure sounds like it could be, or possibly a bad ECU but that's really rare.
Thu Oct 27, 2011 8:24 pm
tootype2crazy, you've made a lot of headway and are close to a solution. It is easy to feel frustrated but really you are doing well. I think you understand the process but I would like to restate it to be sure, and for future readers.
Each injector has two wires. One wire goes back to a common connection with a similar wire from the other 3 injectors. Those 4 wires from the four injectors are hooked together and then one wire goes from there back to the ECU.
The other wire on each injector goes back to the ballast plug where each injector has a seperate resistor dedicated to it. 12V+ leaves the double relay when the key is on and flows through the resistors to each injector. 12V+ is provided by the double relay through the resistors and ground is provided by the ECU (1979 lacks the ballast resistors I think but it works the same).
Each injector is a magnetic coil like a doorbell. When the circuit is complete the magnetism opens the pintle and fuel under pressure escapes. It acts just like the doorbell when the doorbell button is pushed only the doorbell button is electronics in the ECU. 12V+ is ALWAYS on the injectors when the key is on and the double relay energized. This means that if you (discconect the distributor so not to damage the points) turned the key on and measured voltage at the injector the voltage should ALWAYS be there. The test light should be on. This is true regardless of which side of the injector you are on - either wire. Now, when the ECU "pushes the doorbell button" it grounds all 4 injectors at once so they open for that moment. If you are measuring voltage on the 12V side the light may not change much, however if you are on the other side wire of an injector which goes back to where all 4 injectors tie together and go to the ECU, then the circuit will be grounded off and on as the engine cranks.
So if you don't get flashing on one side of the injector, move to the wire on the other side. If both sides are on all the time when the engine is cranking then the ground is not being made inside the ECU or a wire is not connected properly to the ECU (power or ground).
Last - make sure you have 12V at the positive side of the coil when the ignition is on and that cranking the engine causes a spark. If that 12V voltage is missing then the ECU has no signal at all to know when to turn on or off. It relies on the coil primary pulses to know when to fire the injectors. This means that the points also have to open and close properly or the ECU will not know to flash. How often the points open and close is the signal that tells the ECU the baseline amount of fuel to deliver before it adds extra for cold temperatures and load. If anything in this statement confuses you please PM me with a phone number and I will call and explain it and answer questions. It is late, a Friday for me and my brain isn't working well tonight.
Thu Oct 27, 2011 8:26 pm
if you "think" the injectors are not firing then pull one out and reconnect it; then crank the engine.
that will take you from "thinking" about what the injectors are doing to "knowing" what the injectors are doing.
keep at it, man.
we're here to help :)

Success!!! I got it running beautifully. I noticed that when the cold start valve was disconnected it would try to fire on some cylinders but just couldn't start. So I re-cleaned all the ground connections. The one for the double relay, under the plenum, the negative battery cable to body connection, and the transmission ground strap. I even took a bit of emery cloth and a pick and cleaned in the wire spades themselves. After this I noticed it would fire powerfully on a few cylinders but still wouldn't start. So I decided to start back at the basics. I took the hydraulic lifters out, pumped them up, reinstalled them, and then adjusted the valves. I turned the key and bam, it started right up and runs beautifully. Now I just have to get it off the jack stands and see how it drives!
Fri Oct 28, 2011 7:55 pm
Nice!! :D Glad to hear good progress.
Sat Oct 29, 2011 10:04 am
Ok I have it driving around. It idles great, but when it's time to drive it, it seems to be lacking in power a great deal. It definitely has a lack of power in the mid range, say from 1500-2500 RPM. I'm thinking the original problem of my low fuel pressure could be at fault here. I'm planning on getting a different gauge to see if it really has low pressure. Any thoughts on which one I should get or how to proceed? The gauge mounts directly to the rail where the nipple would normally be.
Sat Oct 29, 2011 10:24 pm
I picked mine up at my local Napa, along with a brass 90 deg fitting on the back so it would face the rear of the bus when testing. A couple of German clamps and some proper fuel line:

you might try putting a few drops of oil on the wick under the rotor in the distributor and also a drop or two on each weight pivot. You may have a sticky set of weights. The other thing I would look at would be your timing when you are done with the oil. Make sure it is 28 - 30 degrees BTDC with the hoses off at 3500 RPM.

79 federal setup with an intermittent problem. I have a gate that needs to be opened and closed when leaving the house. Car starts fine and idles well. When I drive to the gate and get out to close it sometimes it idles really low and dies if it was a cold start. It is almost impossible to restart. By tricking the cold start injector to squirt fuel (running the starter for sec but not letting then engine catch a few times) I can get it to run very poorly by flooring the throttle. Sometimes a few of these rounds goes by and the poor running turns into a good strong rev and I am good to go.
This is never a problem after it has warmed up. If I dont stop at that gate and just hit the road again no problems at idle but somtimes I get a stumble or miss at speed.
The poor running almost sounds like its firing on less than four and lots of white smoke from the tailpipe. I have had similar symptoms on another van but it was the points burning because of a bad plug wire. On that one the problem went away after I replaced the ignition parts. I really feel like this is a ignition problem but Ive gone through that system with twice. Once looking for suspects then just swapped everything from a known good van including distibutors.
If I leave it be when it acts up and come back it sometimes it starts right up, sometimes it needs to be babied.
I began with basics by adjusting valves and the ignition system. I checked the fuel pressure and it sets at about 35 psi at idle even when the problem occurs. Replaced fuel filter anyway. Tested fuel regulator and it responds as it should. Put a spare on for fun. Put a different coil and swapped doulbe relay for a known good. Took off every vacuum hose and inspected and tested big ones but just replaced the small ones. Swapped s boots known good van. Plugged brake booster line to rule it out. Took a propane torch and went over the whole engine, nothing changed. Temp sensor 2 test ok but also swapped it from a good running bus too. AFM is not sticking when problem occurs and the contacts look really clean. AAR closes as it should and opens when cold. The wire that goes from ecu to negative side of coil has continuity even when problem occurs. Injectors squirt when attempting to start when problem occurs. Verfied cold start valve operates and doesnt leak. Wiggling harness when engine runs ok doesn't replicate problem and wiggling when problem occurs doesnt make any difference. Compression is about 115 give or take for all 4 with the lowest reading on #4 of 110 ish.
So, any ideas? I have been pulling my hair out trying to make this a perfect bus but this seems to be one tack that won't come out of my rear! Thanks for reading.
Fri Nov 04, 2011 11:39 pm
I have two suggestions - kiddingly - don't stop at the gate. :)
I would sniff the engine when it is warm to be sure the AFM is adjusted properly. You may have a tiny change in air to fuel ratios since it was new and it may be a little lean now - due to anything from a small vacuum leak to aging or even alcohol in the fuel. The engine was not meant to be left idling after starting it until it was warmed up. Start and drive away.
When the engine starts it knows it needs extra fuel because it is cold so the cold start valve injects a little fuel and that helps it start cold. That burns off quickly. The TS2 (temperature sensor 2) tells the ECU (electronic control unit) that the engine hasn't warmed up and it needs extra fuel. The AAR (aux air regulator) opens up when cold and acts as an idle bypass to speed the idle up. Once it warms up and closes the idle drops to the normal circuit. If your mixture is a little off or the idle speed too slow, then the engine dies on you at the gate because it is just a wee bit too cold still to operate properly cold. If you drive it off it warms up and then it is inside that window where it can operate. If you sniff it then you will know if the mixture is set correctly. One area where vacuum can leak is that the injector seals get old and dry out. If you haven't replaced them and the fuel lines, it would be good to replace them and all the fuel lines before you sniff it. If the mixture turned out to be way off then you might want to do more service on the FI - replace the hoses, service the distributor etc but my guess is that the dying is normal because the car just needs the idle mixture tweaked to factory settings. At least that is my guess.

Everyone says that but I just have to or the horses could get out LOL! It wouldnt be such a big deal if it would fire right back up but it is quite the annoyance.
Checking the mix is exactly the kind of thing I didnt think to do, now to find an exhaust sniffer.
Sat Nov 05, 2011 5:35 pm
make sure you rule out ANY other possible causes first.
you shouldn't automatically assume your FI is at fault.
these aren't T3s :lol:
if it feels like it's only hitting on 3 then that's where i would start.
is this a new problem or has it always been this way?
Sat Nov 05, 2011 7:25 pm
This is a new to me bus, only had him a month. PO was a vanagon and subaru mechanic who took ownership when the previous owners got fed up. He said it seemed like a point issue but he really didn't give a damn about aircooled and was just looking to unload it. It was good price and the parts alone on the sunroof will cover the cost of it if there was serious issues. I drove it home and realized what a gem the car was if only I could get the bus to run well.
I just don't know what basics I'm missing. Ive swapped the entire ignition system (distributor to plugs) from a running bus. I did the compression test when bought it and at a buddy's with his tester to confirm the readings. I've confirmed fuel pressure even when its acting up. Cleaned the grounds under #3 and by the double relay. I've been swapping parts from a good running bus and nothing I've swapped has affected the running of the good bus or improved the problem.
I don't know if running on 3 cylinders is the description to use, more like it idles so low is it shakes like its missing. Also it doesn't just die it starts, runs fine and revs strong, drives good, then you stop and it slowly idles lower and lower until it dies even if you hold the throttle open once it begins its gradually downhill. I will say with the way the temperature dropped the last two days the bus is staying running shorter before it dies and is much harder to start. Today while driving I got really bad hiccups from the engine but it didn't quit on me. First thin I did was check the dwell and it was right where I left it at 45 degrees. Points has a small gray spot so I sanded them, put it back in, checked dwell and timing, thinking all was well then set off but the hiccuping continued. Got home dwell wasn't changed and couldn't see anything on the points.
I took SGKents advice and swapped out the injector seals, I had already swapped all the fuel line about a week after I bought it. No change. I attempted to richen the mix with out a sniffer to see if the problem improved. I turned the AFM screw clockwise/in about 3 full turns before it bottomed out and tried to start it at half turn intervals while it was dieing. with no improvement. I set it back to the original setting.
Sat Nov 05, 2011 8:38 pm
If it's been half as cool and damp in Oregon as it's been here I'd be looking at plug wires and other ignition components myself, once it warms up and dries out it likely works fine :wink:
Sat Nov 05, 2011 8:53 pm
The bus I swapped ignition systems with hasn't been affected though. Maybe tomorrow Ill swap it all back.
Sun Nov 06, 2011 12:58 pm
if richening the mixture didn't affect it then I doubt if it is FI related unless the pump is dying for some reason under those circumstances. You should have seen some change. Tell me - is there anything unusual about where the gate is - unlevel ground where the bus sits at an unusal angle or up hill, downhill etc? If you start the bus say in a parking lot in a shopping center, drive it the same distance as to the gate and let it idle the same - does it die there as well. I am wondering if you have moisture in your fuel that is getting picked up when you are at the gate if you are on an angle or something like that. You say you have already monitored fuel pressure when this happens?
Also - please don't double post on this. Make an entry in the other thread you have going on this to use this thread exclusively so we don't have to chase all over trying to see what your answers are.

Sorry I just thought if it wasnt FI related it shouldnt go here anymore. Westfabulous just started having me try stuff and I went with it. How should I consolidate? Just link to this thread in the other one? Maybe copy and paste what was said too? I did make a mess of things. Thank you for the help and patience.
The gate is level ground and I could try a parking lot but Id have to leave it there for a while because this only occurs after a cold start. I have tried driving around the house and stopping and it just dies as well with no restart. I have left my fuel pressure gauge attached so I can read what happens when it dies and I keep fairly consistent 35 psi.
Sun Nov 06, 2011 3:29 pm
if the fuel pressure is a consistent 35 psi +/- then it is unlikely to be a supply problem.
Gotta think about this one.
Sun Nov 06, 2011 3:56 pm
Quote: lso it doesn't just die it starts, runs fine and revs strong, drives good, then you stop and it slowly idles lower and lower until it dies even if you hold the throttle open once it begins its gradually downhill.
What about compression WHEN it is doing this? You say it is a 1979. That probably has hydraulic lifters. Oil has a different thickness when it is cold. Maybe there is a problem with the lifters being out of adjustment or a valve is sinking. That might only show up when the oil is thick enough not to allow the lifters to bleed down. If you had a valve sinking the lifter might be holding it open when the lifter is unable to bleed down because the oil is thick. At RPM a slight valve being open would not be as noticed and the engine oil would warm pretty fast to where the oil would thin out and allow the lifters to bleed down quicker. Once the problem starts I can see where fouled plugs etc would not be easy to get rid of just by opening the throttle. Also if it is an intake it would affect other cylinders too.
Nect check the ground straps and battery cables. Measure voltage at the battery when this is happening to be sure we aren't experiencing a voltage drop. The battery is most likely to be at its lowest voltage when cold, when the engine has just been started and when the engine is running slow. My 1995 Acura, now totaled, was maybe 10% slower cranking one morning so I replaced the battery. The bass in the sound system came back when the new battery was installed. On late Acura RL's some owners for example get weird things like computers lose their memory etc even though the car starts fine - it is a symptom of the battery getting weak. Electronics do weird things when battery voltages drop. So try to rule that out as a possible cause. This includes the igntion switch which can do weird things as well when it wears out - which they frequently do in buses. I carry a spare TSII and spare ignition switch the failures are frequent enough.
Next if you have a spare ECU, swap it. One thing it could be is a bad ECU. Rule out the ECU. That is an easy swap.
As BusDaddy said - now would be a good time for fresh plugs, wires, cap and rotor if the PO didn't already swap them. They do weird things when old and damp. You could have a cap that has carbon tracks in it or a rotor that is so worn the voltage isn't jumping from it when it is cold.
Sun Nov 06, 2011 5:06 pm
Unfortunatly I dont think I can swap ecus, my other FI is an 76. Ill have to ask some friends if they have a 79 I can borrow.
Thats a new theory about the valves. I only ever did compression while the engine was warm. Ill try that if it acts up tonight. Would a decent test also be to set the lash to .006 like one was attempting to bleed it up? This would be sure to close the valves all the way and if it dies then I could rule out stuck open valve twice with the compression test.
I had the same idea on the battery voltage being screwy, but I have been swappinh batterys with the good bus and the poor running bus because of all the fruitless starting to keep it all charged up. Lowest voltage I pulled from a battery when swapping it was 12.2 ish. It has done this with both batterys in it. That should rule out poor battery right?
I know when the engine is running I get 13.6 to 14 at the coil so the alternator and VR are putting out. The coil when not running doesn't get to much of a voltage drop, maybe .3 volts. I should have mentioned I cleaned up the battery cables at the posts, at the starter, at the negative to body, and the trans ground with a steel bristle brush when I was going through this on my own. Ive done so much I lost track of that!
Ill buy some new ignition stuff on Monday and try it out, worst case Ill have nice new
Also in case anyone is readint this though for their own problem solving here is a link to a thread I created to try to solve if it wasnt a FI issue:

My X-Factor Favorite! [Video]
Most of you know I hardly ever watch television. I try…I mean I really enjoy some of the shows, but I turn on the TV so infrequently and it seems when I find something I like, I seldom find it again…or the season is now over, or they have pre-empted it, or they are running a re-run of the same episode.. Needless to say, I haven't had much luck with TV but I do have a few shows that I've caught occasionally and really enjoyed!
So the other night…X Factor was on and there was this amazing singer whose voice just brought tears to my eyes! I was so impressed! Now, granted I haven't seen all the other singers in this competition, but in my immediate opinion…I thought he could be a definite winner!
I found the video of his performance on you tube and thought I would share it with you. Funny I caught the very end of his first audition too and loved it. Here is his vid bio and 2nd performance.
See what ya think…and comment below!

PHILADELPHIA -- Senators coach Cory Clouston, with his club 2-1-1 in its past four games, opted not to make any lineup changes. G Brian Elliott made his sixth straight start while D Alex Picard and D Christoph Schubert were healthy scratches. "They're playing well right now. Why break things up?" Clouston said. "(Elliott's) confident ... He's very comfortable and familiar with getting a heavy workload. He did it several times (in the AHL). We played seven games in 10 nights one time and he played six of them." ... C Mike Richards returned to the Flyers lineup after missing five games with the flu.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- India has asked the United States for six Lockheed Martin C-130J aircraft in a Foreign Military Sales deal worth a total of $1.2 billion.
The U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency, in its notification to Congress, said that in addition to the six planes the deal includes six Rolls Royce AE 2100D3 spare engines, eight AN/AAR-47 Missile Warning Systems, eight AN/ALR-56M Advanced Radar Warning Receivers, eight AN/ALE-47 Counter-Measures Dispensing Systems, eight AAQ-22 Star SAFIRE III Special Operations Suites, eight ARC-210 radios, and 3,200 flare cartridges.
Also included are spare and repair parts, configuration updates, communications security equipment and radios, integration studies, support equipment, personnel training and training equipment.
"The proposed sale will provide the Indian government with a credible special operations airlift capability that will help deter aggression in the region and provide enhanced humanitarian assistance and disaster relief support," the agency said.
The prime contractors will be Lockheed Martin Aeronautics in Marietta, Ga., and Rolls-Royce Corp. in Indianapolis, Ind.
Offset agreements associated with this proposed sale are expected, but at this time the specific offset agreements are undetermined and will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractors.

TV: Fox Sports San Diego
Radio: 1090-AM, 860-AM (Spanish)
Today's matchup
Mets RHP Jeremy Hefner (1-4, 5.52 ERA)
Hefner, 26, was in the Padres system through the end of last season. He was 9-7 with a 4.98 ERA in 28 starts for Triple-A Tucson in 2011 but was waived from the 40-man roster in November. The Pirates claimed Hefner last Nov. 18, waived him and the Mets claimed him on Dec. 12.Drafted by the Padres in the fifth round of 2007, Hefner was 46-34 in the Padres minor league system. He faced the Padres on May 24 and suffered the loss, giving up six runs on nine hits in 3 2/3 innings. He has allowed 56 hits and nine walks in 44 1/3 innings.
Padres RHP Edinson Volquez (7-7, 3.51 ERA)

If you hate finding a really great series only to discover you have to wait a year for the next book, you've hit the jackpot. The Croak trilogy [1] is complete!
Lex has hit a bit of a rebellious stage, and when she bites a guy at school who called her a vampire, it's the last straw for her parents. They send her to spend the summer on a farm with an uncle she barely knows. Lex quickly learns that the only thing being reaped in the town of Croak is souls, and she's destined to become a Grim too. The series follows Lex as she tries to catch a Grim that's gone all rogue and is releasing souls from people who aren't yet dead. Warning: do not start reading this series unless you've got time to finish it, it's addicting.

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and influenza are the 8th most frequent primary and an important secondary cause of death in the US. Information suggests that etiology and possibly frequency of CAP have changed since the last CDC-sponsored population-based study. Even the definition of CAP has undergone revision, with exclusion of a group with the newly-defined healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP). Unfortunately, lack of an appropriate population-based pathogen-specific study to define HCAP has now resulted in significant controversy. Conversely, developments in molecular diagnostic techniques, such as urinary antigen testing and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection of bacterial and viral genes, have not only made documentation of etiology more accurate than culture-based methods but define etiology in a greater proportion of cases. All these factors coalesce on the need for a contemporary population-based estimate of CAP incidence based on an accurate etiologic diagnosis. In response to this need and the resultant CDC Funding Opportunity, we developed a consortium of three urban Chicago hospitals to recruit 1500 adult CAP patients over an 18 month period. Combining with a previous study at the same centers using a nearly identical protocol will allow accurate estimates over >3years. An accurate population-based estimate of incidence requires inclusion of an urban population with the variety of racial/ethnic, socioeconomic, and access to healthcare characteristics seen in patients admitted to these hospitals. Several subgroups of patients presenting to the hospital with pneumonia are excluded from the current CDC study, such as recent hospital discharges. Since these patients are routinely coded with ICD-9 CAP codes, they will impact our incidence calculations. We will therefore expand inclusion criteria for this proposal to recruit these patients, expecting that molecular diagnostic tools will demonstrate that a high percentage of their pneumonias are caused by usual CAP pathogens. We will also address concern regarding an increased incidence of community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) pneumonia. Microbial etiology will be determined by extensive diagnostic testing, including routine use of urinary antigen detection, paired serology, and a battery of CDC-approved PCR assays. The role of influenza and bacterial co- infection will be aggressively explored with PCR, culture, and paired serology. Whole blood quantitative PCR (qPCR) of a pneumococcal gene and a generic bacterial 16s ribosomal gene will increase diagnostic sensitivity. Confirmation that qPCR correlates with mortality, septic shock, and organ failure will challenge conventional dogma that these complications are due to the host response rather than bacterial factors. Our data combined with that of other participating centers will provide a more accurate contemporary assessment of pneumonia incidence and etiology. Results will inform future decisions regarding diagnostic testing, empirical antibiotic therapy, and the opportunities for vaccination and other prevention strategies.
Community-acquired pneumonia, often complicating influenza or other viral infections, remains an important cause of death in the US. Patient risk factors, antibiotic resistance, effectiveness of immunization, and the bacteria and viruses that cause pneumonia have changed in recent years. This study will define the incidence of pneumonia in an adult urban population and determine the microorganisms causing these pneumonias by addition of new molecular diagnostic tests. This information is critical to design appropriate future prevention and treatment strategies.

Story source:
David H. Trinklein, 573-882-9631
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Few garden flowers give more and ask for less than daylily. In the quest for a "no maintenance" perennial, daylily is about as close as one can get, said University of Missouri Extension horticulturist David Trinklein. There are some who maintain that daylilies thrive on neglect, he added.
With their ease of care and the myriad flower colors, types and sizes available, it is little wonder why daylily is America's most popular perennial flowering plant, said Trinklein.
Daylily belongs to the genus Hemerocallis, a name derived from the Greek words hemera (day) and kalos (beautiful). It makes reference to the fact that the showy flowers of this plant rarely last for more than 24 hours.
Daylily is thought to be native to China, Japan and Korea. A written record dating back to 2697 B.C. indicates Chinese used it as food and for its perceived medicinal properties. It is mentioned in several 16th-century European herbals under a variety of names no longer used today.
By the late 1800s, many daylily species had found their way into American gardens. But it was the work of plant breeder Arlow B. Stout that started daylily on the path to the popularity it enjoys today. Stout received plants and seeds from China in 1924 and began a program of breeding and improvement.
His work inspired professional and amateur plant breeders to hybridize daylily. Their efforts resulted in an astonishing 83,955 daylily cultivars registered by the American Hemerocallis Society, according to its 2017 database.
Such a multitude of cultivars requires a sizable glossary to describe daylily flowers and distinguish one cultivar from another. Terms such as single, double, spider, circular, flat, informal, triangular, star and recurved are a few of the many terms used to describe flower form. Flower color and/or pattern are described by terms such as self, blend, polychrome, bi-tone, bicolour, watermark and eye zone.
An extensive list of terms associated with daylily can be found at www.daylilies.org/ahs_dictionary/dictionary.html.
A sun-loving perennial, daylily needs a minimum of six to eight hours of direct sun daily. However, a bit of late afternoon shade does help to preserve flower color and longevity. In shady exposures, the lily produces abundant foliage but very few flowers.
Daylily prefers a medium-heavy garden loam, although it can tolerate a wide array of soil textures. Soil of any texture can be improved by incorporating liberal amounts of organic matter in the form of well-rotted manure, compost or peat moss before planting, according to Trinklein.
Fertilizer should be applied sparingly; too much nitrogen can be detrimental. "If daylilies produce lush, abundant foliage but few flowers, they probably are receiving too much fertilizer," Trinklein added. Daylilies growing in fairly rich soils need little if any additional fertilizer.
Although daylily is fairly drought-tolerant, adequate water increases flower number and size. Water is important in the spring when the plants form scapes and set buds and later when plants are in bloom.
Daylily faces attack by a variety of pests and diseases, but most do only minor damage. Aphids, thrips and spider mites are the most common insect pests. Crown and root rot, leaf streak and daylily rust are diseases that can be problematic.
Like most clump-forming perennials, daylilies need periodic division for best garden performance. The frequency of division depends largely on cultivar and growing conditions.
Cultivars known for their reblooming tendency such as Stella de Oro should be divided relatively frequently. This helps to force new growth throughout the growing season, which is the primary factor that causes a daylily to rebloom. Daylilies can be divided or planted any time the ground is not frozen. However, late August through September is considered the most ideal time, Trinklein said.

santa barbara county has excellent surf and a wide variety of waves to choose from. it's primarily blocked from south swells due to the channel islands, but there's an abundance of energy that comes from the west/northwest during the fall and winter months (sept-march). not a far drive from san luis obispo county to the north or ventura county to the south either, where you'll undoubtedly find options if there's nothing happening in SB.
otherwise, if the waves are on, you can surf right on campus if you grab a dorm on the beach. plenty of waves to be had in town to the east or head further down the coast for the points/reefs.

oh if you don't have a car but are staying on or near campus, don't fret. there's still surf to be had within walking distance. campus point is where everyone goes when it's good, so it's usually the most crowded break. it's the southernmost point on campus, you can't miss it. it's also offshore in west/northwest winds so that's the spot you probably need to check if a big northwest is wrapping in.
if campus point is too crowded or has too much water, head east from the point and you'll end up right off the 1 in goleta beach park where there should be some beachbreak to ride.

There are several things you should know about the owner of Nick's Pasta Place. First, her name isn't Nick. It's Gina. And she's not Italian. Gina Koutros is Greek.
It's true that she's been to Italy. She spent a week there last year. And it can't be said that she enjoyed the place. Venice she disliked particularly. Crossing the Grand Canal at night, she candidly admits, was "spooky."
Owners of Italian restaurants, of course, don't have to be Italian, but that said, Gina Koutros's credentials do seem a little slight. And even more damning, until she purchased Nick's in January 1997, what she knew about the food industry was -- well, to say "negligible" is to put it kindly. A math teacher, she bought Nick's because, as she put it, "it's more fun to run a restaurant." Many others have made a similar determination -- and ended up losing their shirts. But Gina defied the odds. By dint of her personality and an innate shrewdness, she's made a go of Nick's, transforming it into one of the nicest restaurants around. I have to hand it to her banker. Had she come to me to borrow money, I would have referred her to the nearest psychiatrist.
Gina -- I use her first name because this is what her patrons call her -- is a natural restaurateur. She doesn't only chat with her customers. Like a healer, she lays hands on them, as well. I've even seen her pull up a chair and sit at their tables. She stands by the door when people arrive, exulting at the sight of them; and when they leave, she's by the door again, this time wishing them well and urging their quick return.
Gina, you will have guessed by now, is the motherly type. My companion said she reminded him of Irene Dunne in I Remember Mama. And she loves children. (She may be Greek, but she's no Electra.) "Did you get dessert?" she asks a departing youngster. The child's mother frowns. Unlike Gina, who clearly approves of dessert, this mother clearly doesn't.
Nick's is not ornate. In one corner, a refrigerated display case purrs contentedly -- of course it would; it's full of great desserts -- and above the open kitchen, someone has painted a frieze: pots and pans and skeins of garlic, and waiters, on what look like skates, balancing plates piled high with pasta. The only other decorations are the plastic vines and plastic grapes -- Gina's idea -- strung along two walls. The suggestion is of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine. But Nick's presiding spirit is more demure. I can't imagine Gina putting up with vomitoriums. And as for bacchanals....
Outside, there's an area where, if one wants to, one can dine al fresco. This, too, sports vines -- the natural kind. Looking very pastoral, it put me in mind of Silvius and Phebe, the lovers in As You Like It, romping in the Forest of Arden.
The previous owner's shade still haunts this menu in such selections as Nick's shrimp, Nick's baked lasagna and Nick's veal scaloppine. But Gina has made her presence felt as well. In addition to the holdover items, there is now Gina's pasta, Gina's roast chicken and Gina's shrimp risotto.
Because everything sounded so good, it took me an age to make up my mind. And even then, I wasn't sure I'd made the right decisions. "Are they good choices?" I asked the waiter. By way of answer, he gave me a conspiratorial wink. I do love it when waiters take you into their confidence like that. "You and I are men of the world," that wink seemed to say. "We're two of a kind."
On our first visit, we began our meal with Nick's shrimp and cozze (both $6.50). The shrimp are sauteed in butter, lemon juice and lots of garlic before being transferred to the oven where, according to the menu, they're "baked to perfection." Which is not a word of a lie. The shrimp, while crisp on the outside, still retain a little of their chewiness and are quite delicious -- so much so that on my return visit, I ordered them again.
While not as successful as the shrimp, the cozze, or mussels, were good as well. The shellfish are steamed in white wine, after which herbs and tomatoes are added to the cooking liquid, which is then reduced to make a sauce. Nick's sauce, I thought, lacked force. I'd have preferred something more emphatic.
Our main course consisted of Gina's shrimp risotto ($12.95) and Nick's veal scaloppine ($13.95). The risotto, prepared on a stovetop and then baked, was superb. Moist to the point of near-soupiness, it came with lots of shrimp and, because of the presence of olives and goat cheese, tasted pleasantly tart. The veal wasn't quite in the same league. Overcooking had made it tough. But I quite liked the cream Marsala sauce. And the artichokes were a good idea, nicely offsetting the sweetness of the wine.

For lunch a day later, we ordered zuppa maritata ($4.50), served, we were told, at Italian weddings. Basically, this is chicken soup to which additions have been made -- penne pasta, spinach and several excellent and very light chicken dumplings. The soup itself lacked depth. A little lemon juice would have helped enormously.
For entrees, we ordered Gina's pasta and Gina's roast chicken (both $11.95). The pasta -- fettuccine in an acceptable Alfredo sauce -- came with shrimp, mushrooms and lots of green onions, and while there was much to enjoy about it, the spectacular-looking chicken breast managed to upstage it. Marinated in olive oil, lemon juice and garlic and baked a mahogany brown, it too was a little overcooked. And a little oversalted. But the roast potatoes were perfect. Smelling of rosemary and brushed with oil, they were cut into wedges big enough to choke a cat.
When we stood up to leave, Gina was by the door, this time dispensing mints. "Are you from England?" she asked me. "I was in England last year," she went on. "For a day." Gina, clearly, is no great traveler, so I didn't bother to ask if she enjoyed the place. I have every confidence that she found London just as she found Venice: spooky.
Nick's Pasta Place, 4057 Bellaire Boulevard, 661-0025.

ATLANTA -- The Flames' lack of success in Atlanta has nothing to do with bad karma, bad luck or bad breaks.
Just bad performances.
The 5-2 defeat yesterday afternoon was another example of a Flames team not playing up to snuff and paying for it against a 29th-place Atlanta Thrashers squad happy to take advantage.
"We're in a position where other teams are going to be playing hard, trying to knock us off, and we weren't determined enough," said Calgary captain Jarome Iginla. "They got a couple of good bounces and we weren't resilient. We had a push in the beginning of the third (period), but -- starting with myself and Olli (Jokinen) and Cammy (Michael Cammalleri) -- we have to be like that off the start.
"That desperation and determination has to be from the start, and we didn't have that, unfortunately, again."
The suddenly struggling Flames (39-21-6) followed a clunker in Carolina with an atrocity in Atlanta.
Needing to regroup after being blitzed 6-1 by the Hurricanes and well aware of their winless history in Atlanta, the Flames provided another sub-par outing.
After opening their seven-game road swing with a pair of victories, the Flames suddenly find themselves on a road trip potentially careening out of control.
And they have only themselves to look at for reasons.
"What's defined us this year as a team is our competitiveness and our determination, and we didn't bring it again off the start like we should have," admitted Iginla, who scored his 30th goal of the season but was minus-2. "It wasn't necessarily like we got pushed around or anything like that -- last game, they out outplayed us physically -- but I don't think we were as determined and competitive enough to create enough chances and play in their zone.
"It's not just shots and stuff, but it's zone time. When we're going, we're hemming teams in, we're going down the walls, we're hitting them, causing chaos, and we haven't been able to do that the last couple of games."
The Flames, who called Atlanta home before moving north of the border in 1980, have five losses and one tie in their six trips back since the Thrashers joined the NHL. But all but one of those games is ancient history. The concern right now is how to regroup before facing the New Jersey Devils tomorrow night.
A starting point is the lack of intensity displayed the last two games.
Another would be the lack of smarts. Against a Thrashers team that will miss the playoffs, turnovers, poor positioning, weak goaltending and foolish penalties were all costly.
"We helped them out," said Calgary's other marksman, centre Craig Conroy. "They've got good players. I don't know how many penalties we took, seven or eight or nine, but it's too many. They made a good play and capitalized, and all those penalties take guys out of the game."
With six players already out of the lineup due to injuries, the Flames had to summon another skater from the minors because right winger David Moss missed the game due to a death in the family.
Could it be a case of all those subtractions adding up?
"I don't think it's an excuse for the way we're playing," Iginla said.
"We definitely have very important players out, but we've also shown that we can win games if we play a certain way."
Bryan Little scored twice for Atlanta, including a sharp-angled offering with his team's first shots, while Tobias Enstrom, Chris Thorburn and Ilya Kovalchuk added singles.

Small but irritating problem with Office 2002
Hi, all! I came here for help with a more serious issue which I posted about in the General forum, but while I'm here, I might as well ask another question that's been bugging me.
I still use Office 2002 most of the time. It seems to work fine with newer versions of Windows, but there's one little glitch that bugs me - opening or closing the "Find and Replace" dialog box is very slow. On Windows XP, it would pop up more or less instantaneously. Since I upgraded to Vista, it crawls up the screen over the course of several seconds, and back down again when I close it. This behaviour has remained the same under Windows 7, even on an otherwise much faster and more powerful machine than I ever ran XP on.
Anyone know a fix, or at least an explanation, for this issue?
