Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra Fuel Pump/Fuel System
ph10 Posts: 1I have the same thing going on with my truck. I notice a hissing sound in the gas tank area. I googled it and found a guy who said there was a hole in the fuel line coming up from the pump to the top of the pump assembly. The fuel is drianing back into the tank and pressure is not holding. The fuel line apparentlly rubs on the springs that hold the pump on the bottom of the tank. Now I have to find out how many electical connections my pump has so I can order the right one. All is see on the searches I've done show that unbolting the bed is easier than dropping the tank.
hillbillybob Posts: 1I had no tail lights at all. I replaced brake light fuse, signal flasher. Now when I turn on my park/head lights, the stupid fuel pump runs for about 5 seconds. The truck runs fine, the front lights work fine, I have no rear park/brake lights., only signal lights.
Ran new ground wire at bumper in place of a rusty one. Inspected for loose cables, checked bulbs, checked fuses....Now I am lost, and need help. :confuse:
horseman08886 Posts: 1I have a gmc 2500 6.0 v8 sierra, the last few times i have been a issue I cant quiet put my finger on. At ignition the truck seems to be starving for fuel after i give it a little gas it kicks right over. I'm unsure if its the fuel filter or the spark plugs or what I am looking at.

1995 Silverado - Ran out of fuel.
1) Added more. Vehicle started ran a few seconds and died.
2) Replaced Fuel Filter Same symptoms.
When vehicle does start, I can pump the gas at it will run a little longer.
I think it might be the Fuel pump relay.
Any Suggestions?
I have a 95 gmc sierra z71, it has the 5.7 350 in it. Ive been having problems trying to repair the truck, the truck starts percfectly most of the time and it will run for a while until i try to put it on Drive then it just dies, after a couple of times of doing this the truck won't start, i try pouring fuel into the carb and it will start briefly but will die soon after, while runnin i hit the gas and in squirts fuel but suddenly stops, ive replaced fuel pump, fuel filter fuel relay, ignition coil, control module, rotor, but still no solution. A couple of people have told me to replace the pick up coil but that involves removing tr distributor and ive never done that. My question is, could the pick up coil be causing this?? Or does anyone know of anything else i should check??

Out of all the countless Satanic BM bands out there, go figure they pick a Xian one. That's liberalistic dick-licking MTV for you.On second thought, any self-respecting BM band would not be seen on television, especially something as cancerous and degenerate as MTV.
I hear Gorgoroth lately made an MTV video
i believe that people who project personalities such as this have been designed by judaen conglomerate music organizations in order to combat the spread and possible conversion of indo-european youths back into their ancient spirituality through underground black metal art.
Out of all the countless Satanic BM bands out there, go figure they pick a Xian one.
Having reviewed the thread, baby Jesus is most definitely weeping at this point.
By the way, theres no such thing as Christian Black metal. its a complete contradiction in terms.

SK Telecom, the largest provider of wireless phone service in South Korea, is in talks to acquire Sprint Nextel, the troubled U.S. wireless carrier, according to people familiar with the talks.
SK Telecom, which is smaller than Sprint , would be joined in any deal by private equity firms that would contribute cash towards the purchase, sources told CNBC.
Sprint shares closed 9.44 percent higher Tuesday. SK Telecom fell over 2 percent in early Asian trade Wednesday.
A deal is not imminent and while the talks are on-going, participants caution that any agreement would at best be weeks away. The board of Sprint, which has been struggling with significant subscriber losses, is divided about whether to sell the company as some of them hold a belief that a turnaround for the company may not be far off, according to people briefed on its position.
Sprint has recently seen some good news as the introduction of Samsung's new phone, the Instinct, has been well received.
Any deal with SK Telecom would have to be friendly. The Koreans have no plans to pursue Sprint should it not wish to be acquired. The talks have not reached a crucial phase, and specific negotiation on price has yet to take place, but they have heated up in recent days.
Again, that does not mean a deal is imminent. Sprint briefly entertained takeover talks a few months back with Deutsche Telekom , but nothing materialized.
Complex Deal
An acquisition of Sprint by SK Telecom would be complex. First, it is smaller than Sprint in market value and therefore needs the inclusion of private equity partners and of course, it is Korean.
While foreign ownership of a wireless provider is not without precedent—Deutsche Telekom owns T-mobile—it is not without regulatory challenges. It would be the largest purchase of a U.S. company by a South Korean firm.
SK Telecom, which has over 22 million subscribers in South Korea and controls roughly half that country's wireless market, does have an American Depository Share listed on the NYSE. It is not clear if it would use cash or a combination of cash and its ADS's to pursue a deal.
SK Telecom and Sprint employ the same wireless technology, and SK Telecom has made it clear it is focused on global expansion.
For its part, sprint is trying to stem a tide of subscriber losses and a decline in average revenue per user and cash flow. It is expected to show that churn declined over the most recent quarter. The company appointed a new CEO, Dan Hesse, late last year.
A spokesman at Sprint declined to comment on what he called rumors and speculation. A SK Telecom spokeswoman said the company was checking on the reports.
Whether or not this deal happens, it is reflective of what is a surprisingly robust M&A market. Bankers tell me that strategic purchases, whether cross-border or domestic, will keep coming.

Give Your Small Business a Spring Clean – 8 Tips That May Inspire You
by Caron_Beesley, Community Moderator
- Created: May 16, 2013, 7:44 am
Did you give your business a spring clean this year? Are you looking for new ways to boost sales, build your brand or get your business plan back on track?
This is the topic of one of SBA's monthly web chats – Small Business Spring Clean: How to Keep Your Business Ideas Fresh – hosted by Octavia Kuransky, Program Development Manager at Central Alabama Women's Business Center (and archived on SBA's Learning Center).
Check out some of these great suggestions from Octavia's session and be inspired!
Q: When should a small business website be updated?
A: "Great question. An outdated website sends the wrong message to potential clients. Recently, we had an expert in to talk on web development. He recommended a monthly sprucing and the inclusion of a blog in order to make your website more attractive to Google."
Q: What's one of the best ways to get your press releases picked up by the media?
A: "I notice greater success in generating press coverage when I can connect to a breaking news story or some issue that is of interest already. Cultivate a relationship with a reporter so that you can call them directly and not have to reinvent the wheel each time. Collaborations always seem to be of interest to the press especially if the outcome can be shown to have some real impact. That should be your aim—to show impact. Impact equals news."
I'd also add another point - try and target reporters who have influence on social media. Check their Klout score (a measure of influence), the kind of stories they write about and share. Look for a match with your product/industry.
Q: As business development specialists, most of our business involves providing a service to our clients (i.e.: consultations, training, etc.). How can we combine our services with technology to better conduct business? How can we take advantage of technology as service providers? And, is it prudent to do so?
A: "Let me share with you a strategy we are currently launching here at The Women's Business Center. The most requested workshops—usually those containing basic building block type information—we'll be putting online. This frees our rather small staff to do more sophisticated work and workshops because we aren't continually having to do ALL workshops. And the basic ones can be self-tutored. We believe this to be a good strategy because, in effect, we can provide more and more varied workshops to the general public."
Q: What is the best format to utilize social media to grow your business?
A: "The short answer is, it depends on the business. Some businesses should stay away from certain forms of social media. For example, a Facebook page might not be appropriate for a medical doctor. A review of your target market and a short consultation with a professional can help you determine what kind of social media is appropriate and most effective for you."
Q: What are some easy ways to spring clean my expenses related to my business?
A: "Great question. I would pick a number, say $200 or so, and any expenditures with an annual outlay of above this amount would have to either show a benefit—meaning the expenditure is directly parlaying into revenue—or absolute necessity. If the expenditure cannot do that, eliminate it or find a less costly way. You might even set some goals for expenditures—like how much you will spend on advertising for the year."
Q: I own a franchise business. It's been open for 7 years, and I need some capital infused to help me grow. I am a sole proprietor. Any suggestions?
A: "Yes, I have a suggestion. Gather up all your financial reporting, including tax returns, and make an appointment with someone at SCORE or an SBDC. Did you know that it might be possible to get a coach at SCORE who has experience in your industry and can mentor you? You can, of course, also make an appointment for an informal meeting with your original funder. If your cash flow is marginal, ask about a SBA (loan) guarantee."
Q: How do you get started with marketing in a service-oriented business?
A: "I always recommend to any business, regardless whether it's a product or service, that it be informed by the target market which has been previously identified in the marketing section of your business plan. This is because we know that certain demographics have certain shopping habits. For example, girls 18-25 tend to shop online. So if you're marketing to that age group for merchandise, I would advertise online. It helps to pay attention to where your competition is marketing; they may have done the research for you."
Q: How do you fine tune your elevator pitch after you do your spring cleaning?
A: "Here is a general rule of thumb for composing elevator speeches. Name (you'd be surprised how often people forget to say their name in the press of the moment), the name of your company (again, people forget), the purpose of your service or product (this should just be a sentence or two) and last but not least, something that adds a sense of urgency or uniqueness about your firm or product."
More Information about SBA Web Chats
SBA's monthly web chats provide small business owners with the opportunity to submit questions live or in advance to experts in fields such as business law, tax, marketing and more. If you're looking for an opportunity to get your questions answered, find out about upcoming web chats by signing up for SBA email updates or follow SBA on Twitter and Facebook. You can view the web chat archives on the SBA Learning Center.

every point of view. I believe support of social media is too important to
get hold of the market. Also innovation to be taken place from website point
of view, which should flourish new things in offering rather the showing the
outdated stuff.

small business website is really an important step to keep customers come
regularly and also for Google to index the website on first page. I have seen
your blog is ranking high on Google for many keywords because of high quality
content and regular updating.

yearly spending from January up until now, but crunching the numbers allows
you to see where you are overspending and identify opportunities to cut
costs. Doing this will put you in a better financial position for the rest of
the year.

it gets the attention of Google's bot and thereby increases the site's
visibility. I have believed for the longest time that social media sites are
not for every business. In fact, I think that it bodes well for only a few
businesses. Writing articles, posting reviews or comments and establishing
relationships with other sites, businesses and publications has proven to be
immensely helpful.

Maria Kang on "Fit Mom" Photo: I Aim to Inspire!by Free Britney at . Updated at .
"Fit Mom" Maria Kang is speaking out in defense of her "What's Your Excuse" photo that caused such a stir online, claiming she was just trying to inspire.
The 32-year-old mother of three revealed that she never intended to bully or shame others with her fitness photo shoot, but rather share a love of exercise.
Yet after posting this photo to her Facebook page, Maria became the target of online critics who called her a "bully" who was calling out other women:
Maria Kang was shocked when her Facebook page blew up with commenters calling her "selfish," a "fat shamer" and worse after the ad went viral.
"I did not know I was going to ruffle this many feathers," Maria said. "I knew that not everyone was going to like the photo but I wanted to inspire others."
"Obviously these three little boys are symbols of time. I'm able to keep them a priority. Of course it's not always my first priority but it's one of my priorities."
"Whether I work out at 5 a.m. or 5 p.m. or 10 p.m.," the fitness enthusiast says, "it's always some part of my daily goal to take part of my health."
Thousands of women did speak out to support Maria (and praise her physique), while taking inspiration from Kang, despite the vocal opposition.
After issuing a non-apology, her second explanation is a bit less defensive, albeit just as adamant that she meant no harm and was being positive.
Maria explained that continues to share her photo and story online because she wants to help other moms who struggle to find the time or energy.
She also says she's been doing this long before the infamous photo.
"I have always been open, I've had a blog since 2007," she said.
"I'm vulnerable and very transparent I don't feel like I want to hide anything, to me it's important to be real with yourself, and be real with others."
That's "because maybe," she said, "you are inspiring others."
What do you think of the photo? Is she shaming anyone?

Never heard so much lying in my life as whats underneath me. A hidden drain? WTF? I personally have a rebuilt asshole valve and my farts can be heard 1/2 mile away! Impressed? I had laser surgery last week and today I can look 2 feet up a cows ass and tell you what's the best cut of meat! Center of Biotechnology? Well I just sold 3 masterpieces of macaroni art to the NYC museum of fine arts for 2 mill! Impressed yet?
Please listen! She admitted on Facebook to breast implants, having been a bodybuilder, posing in such a way that her pregnancy tummy is tucked in, and photoshop. She has a profile on the Bodybuilders site, showing her rock hard globes boob job. This photo should have a disclaimer warning about its fakery. Not a taunt: "What's your excuse?"
From Maria Kang's Facebook:
March 11, 2013
"After winning the national Filipina title to represent the U.S. in an international competition in Manila, Philippines, I made a swift decision to receive a breast augmentation. At the time, I felt incredible pressure from my pageant coaches, family members and the overall industry to alter my physique. I was very lean and lost much of my breast tissue in the weight loss process. I knew the moment I got off the plane pageant officials would take my measurements and know that at 30-24-33 I was not bringing to stage, a very competitive physique.
Up to that point, I had won or placed every pageant I competed in. I enjoyed the preparation and focus required to perform talent, speak with conviction, walk with grace and present the best overall package. I was a competitor, after all, and I would do nearly anything to win.
I regret not thinking about the long-term impact of my decision more fully before the operation. Unlike most women who receive 300-500cc of saline to enhance their breasts up to a C or D cup, I opted for a more humble 225cc, which gave me a proportionate B cup. The day after my surgery, I felt incredible pressure on my heart and was rushed into emergency surgery for a hematoma in my left chest area. Just a few days later, I vividly remember having to attend a compulsory event as a title holder for Miss San Francisco Chinatown and wearing a hidden drain to my chest. I still have faint scars. I still have lack of sensation and I do believe it limited my ability to nurse efficiently."
There is a research article titled: "Asian women have greater abdominal and visceral adiposity than Caucasian women with similar body mass index". It is published in the Nutrition and Diabetes Journal. You can find it on the National Institutes of Health, National Center for Biotechnology Information, U.S. National Library of Medicine site.
The article contains gems that helped me to figure out that Maria Kang was a fraud.
"Our findings build on limited past evidence, suggesting that Asian women carry greater abdominal and visceral fat when compared with Caucasian women with similar overall adiposity. This may contribute to their elevated metabolic risk for obesity-related diseases."
"Compared with White women, Japanese American women tended to have a shorter standing height, lower leg-to-height ratio, lower hip circumference and a smaller chest depth."
"In a small study, greater VAT in proportion to total adiposity was detected among young women (but not men) of mixed Asian ancestry (n=18), compared with Whites (n=36). In another study, greater VAT was observed in Filipinas compared with their Caucasian or African-American counterparts of similar or higher BMI. Greater visceral adiposity was also reported among the Canadians of Chinese descent, compared with Caucasians."
"Our findings confirm previous studies that reported a high prevalence of central obesity among Asian ethnic groups. In addition, our results are consistent with limited past data that suggested a greater visceral fat deposition in young Asian-American women and in older Filipinas compared with Caucasians."
When I saw the photoshopped photo, I thought: "An Asian woman with boobs like that with a tummy like that? It does not happen."
So I went to her site and her Facebook. After investigating for a while, I found the truth. She has breast implants, used to be a bodybuilder, and poses in such a way that her pregnancy tummy appears tucked in.
I was very shocked that almost no one but me seemed to suspect that her look was fake.
"My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge."

Electronic medical records (EMRs) are becoming an increasing important source of phenotypic information for clinical and genomic research. Researchers create and iteratively refine phenotype algorithms using structured and unstructured data to achieve high positive predictive values to identify true cases and controls from EMR data. The Phenotype KnowledgeBase (PheKB.org) is an online collaborative repository for building, validating, and sharing electronic phenotype algorithms and their performance characteristics.
On PheKB you can:
- View existing algorithms
- Enter or create new algorithms
- Collaborate with others to create or review algorithms
- View implementation details for existing algorithms
Phenotype algorithms can be viewed by data modalities or methods used:
- ICD and CPT codes
- Laboratories
- Medications
- Vital Signs
- Natural Language Processing
Algorithms can also be viewed by:
- Implementation results (positive predictive value, sensitivity, publications)
- Institution
- Work Group
- Network affiliation (e.g., eMERGE, PGPop, PGRN)

Columbus >Food & Dining > Saigon Palace
114 N Front St, Columbus, OH | Directions 4321539.964520 -83.002736
Neighborhoods: Uptown District
Great food and service – It is a kinda small but unique restaurant. They have great fried rice and pad thai, or i should say the best in OH. The pho they serve is way better than any other Vietnamese restaurant i've tried in Columbus. Highly recomemded if u want to have take outs at night too. Fast and delicious.
It is what it is - small, unappealing - a true dive - BUT CLEARLY the BEST PAD THAI ever! Many other dishes are very good - portions are generous and price is very reasonable! The folks who run it are simply there to provide you with great food!
Not Vietnamese food – I went to this place after reading the reviews. There is a very limited menu and there is only 2 items on the entire menu that is vietnamese food. For the most part, it's a mix of chinese and thai food put together. I agree with one of the reviewer's on the hygiene...or lack of. It is pretty dirty and the wait staff look unkept. This is not a vietnamese restuarant but rather a chinese take out place. Save your money unless you want expensive take out.
Excellent Food! – Although located in the ridiculously lame downtown of Columbus, OH, the Saigon Palace serves Vietnamese fare that, while not top-tier, is still better than any other Vietnamese restaurant Columbus has to offer. The atmosphere of the place leaves something to be desired, but from my experiences there, their regular clientele don't eat there because of anything else but the great food and great service.
The waitstaff, for the most part, is very helpful, thorough, and quick. One time I went to the restaurant for lunch and it was absolutely packed, with at least ten people waiting by the front door. There were two waiters for the entire place, and they did an excellent job of making sure everything went smoothly. If you go to the Saigon Palace now, there are two male waiters working there I believe. Avoid the older one if you're not in the mood for a ten minute conversation. The younger one is quicker and gives better service, but definitely not a talker, and certainly doesn't excude much warmth.
All in all, it's defintely not place a place for a romantic date. But if you want an excellent lunch at a very low cost (large portions only around 7.50), or even a quick dinner and tea (they have an assortment of teas: ginger, jasmine, green, black, and white), definitely stop by the Saigon Palace.
Best chinese food in town!!! – I have been going to saigon for years now since I work close by and I have to say that all the food are great and they have a variety of menu. My favorite is is the Chicken Lemon Grass and the Pad-Thai dish. They're extremely delicious!!! And this is the only place where I can find Tofu dish in downtown....for you who are vegetarian...this is the best place to go to.
And I did try the new pho and the spring roll, they're actually delicious!! Maybe they have had improved from the last time.
But, I highly recommended this place for anyone who love to eat chinese food!!
Regular Customer!
Pho or Dirty Dishwater? – I can only speak for the Pho and the spring roll. Both were less than impressive. I have lived in Las Vegas for the last 3 years and have been eating at Pho Saigon 8 for almost that long. Maybe I've been spoiled, but this pho was terrible. In order to avoid being rude I just pretended I was full. The other reviewer was right on -dirty dishwater with noodles that might have been in the dishwater all night. I needed to purge after that - YUCK!!!!!
Worst Pho I Have Ever Had – I have eaten pho for years now and all around the country. Most of my pho eating, however, has occured in LA, which admittedly probably has the best pho in the country. That said, the pho I got at Saigon Palace was the worst pho I have ever had. Full stop. It had none of the recognizable characterisitcs of pho. It didn't come piping hot. The noodles weren't flat. The broth tasted like dirty dish water. I have never sent food back before at a restaurant, but this "pho" I had to send back after just one bite. To their credit, they did give me another dish. Some lemon grass chicken dish or something. It was pretty poor too, but edible, at least. The whole thing wasn't cheap either. The pho was like $11. The lemon grass chicken was the same. Bottom line: this place has the worst pho. It shouldn't even be called pho. Do yourself a favor and go to Lac Viet (in the North Market) if you want pho. It's only like 4 blocks from Saigon Palace. The pho there is always delicious and hot, and the people who run it are pure joy.
Wonderful food, best staff of any restaurant in city. – The restaurant looks like a real dive, but the food is some of the best I have ever had. The Java Tofu and the Crispy Veg. Springroll are very, very good. The springroll is piping hot when it comes to the table and the Java Tofu is an egg and tofu fried apetizer that is highly recommended. The staff is very attentif and helpful in recommending things from the menu, our waitress was very helpful in helping us determine what items were just as spicey as we wanted and which items were more mild. Very friendly and welcoming.
This is definetley one of Columbus' hidden jems.
Best Vietnamese in Town – This restaurant is a hole in the wall, but the food and service are wonderful. We've tried some of the other Vietnamese restaurants in town, but the food at those places has been bland and boring. The flavors at Saigon Palace, though, are rich and exciting. One of our favorites is the Bun Salad. You have a choice of meats, including (by order of preference) pork, chicken, beef, and shrimp. Order a "combination" of meats and they add a chopped up spring roll, which is a nice addition. They also have a nice Pho (noodle soup), with lots of flavor. Again, a choice of meats is offered, although the shrimp was rather bland. The also have a Banh Xeo (crepe) that isn't on the menu that is very tasty. I think the waiter called it a "happy pancake" or something like that. What the restaurant lacks in atmosphere is more than made up for by the skill and effort of the people who work there. We love this place.

"I did cry, I did cry," said Robin Griggs. She's carrying a heavy weight.
"They were big babies. They had color. They looked like they had life."
Griggs is No. 9 on the jury that convicted abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell for killing three babies after delivering them alive during illegal late term abortions.
"I just thought about the pain that baby might have felt and I just couldn't believe a mother would lay their and let him do that to her baby," said Griggs. She is now venting her experience sitting months listening to horrific testimony and looking at gruesome pictures.
"How he performed his late term abortions wasn't right. I think somewhere down the line he kind of got lost," Griggs said. She described Gosnell as arrogant.
"When some of his employees would come up and testify against him and say things, he would kind of look at them like I don't believe she or he is saying this," recalls Griggs. "I think he's an intelligent man and that money and greed took over. I think he kind of preyed on people with low self esteem and who had problems," she said.
Griggs said she's glad Gosnell accepted a deal for life in prison meaning the jury did not have to decide on the death penalty.
"I feel relieved. I felt it was emotional for me knowing that this man's life was in our hands."
Griggs' family collected newspapers every day covering the trial. She plans to read them all but after that she's not sure if she can shake the images of the babies embedded in her mind.
She said, "I don't know if I could ever get it out of my head. Being up close and personal is totally different from what you see on the television or what they write about in newspapers."
Griggs said she and the other jurors wished Gosnell would've taken the stand. They wanted to hear from him but they stand by their verdict.

After good rains in Spring, Summer was dry as usual but with an unexpectedly cool January reminiscent of the 2002 vintage which was perfect for the vines to ripen and maintain healthy canopies. This cool period led to the grapes in most regions maintaining excellent natural acid levels and very deep rich colours. February and March were quite dry and balmy with cool nights and warm days. This long cool Autumn was perfect for the development of Shiraz, allowing each parcel of fruit was harvested at its optimum flavour development.

Re: dodecagon 3-d shape
Dual Polyhedra. I wondered what it would be called. I bet there aren't triple polyhedra! Maybe if you deal with unsymmetrical things like the continents on the Earth and draw a dot in middle of each and connect... I think that would just be a jumbled mess, I'm not sure. I suppose a 3-D computer program could do the process of finding the next shape and displaying it. Doesn't a golf ball have 236 indents? I thought that was a Trivial Pursuit question, but it was a long time ago, so I might have the # wrong.

I have an HTML5 project that links out to another URL page on about 5 slides. Jim was kind eough to inform me that there is a known issue about Captivate linking to URLs that are not hand typed. All of the URLs are hand typed, and all advanced actions are set up so that on the last click fo the button, the slide should advance to the next one, and the URL should open in a new tab (in that order) . This happens perfectly on the first set, but the second set doesn't advance the slide, it just opens the new window. If you return to the captivate window and click the next button it respawns the new window, never going to the next slide. I've cleared the project on my webserver, forced slides to be-recreated, rebuilt the advanced action, all with no effect. Anybody else running into anything simiilar?
This is a bit of a show stopper for me since I don't want to just have to code a button - my hope was to make this run like a native iPad app, but if I can't take away the chrome because users have to have it to navigate it can't be done.
Try using a bit of Javascript to do the advancement instead doing the assignment throught the advanced actions panel.
So in your advanced action get rid of:
Assign cpCmndNextSlide = 1
and do an execute JavaScript action and use this bit of JavaScript:
cpCmndNextSlide = 1;
Publish for HTML5 and test on a real web server. I typically do testing on my local web server.
Hope that helps,
Jim Leichliter
Thanks Jim! Sorry for being a pain - my project is due at 11:59 and I wasn't thinking this would be an issue since the first one worked. whoops! I'm doing all of my testing on a live server - the CS major kindly gives everyone a small webspace for use during school, even if they aren't CS majors (which I'm not). For this javascript, can I combine it with my window.open function? or does it need to be separate?
Try including it. It does not need to be separate.
ok - since my brain is scrambled from working with jQuery and I'm not really any better at javascript, here's what I have in the script window :
function open_win()
function forward()
did I wrongly assume it doesn't need script tags or anything?
When you publish for HTML5, you have a whole new JavaScript API available to you and the captivate movie control variables are actually global JS variables. So it would be something like this:
function forward() {
cpCmndNextSlide = 1;
well, I changed it to -
function open_win()
function forward() {
cpCmndNextSlide = 1;
the first part worked (it opened the new window) but it didn't forward the slide.
Try navigating to the next slide first, then open the new window...
ok, switched them around and realized two things, one , I was looking at the slide previously where the advanced action is functioning properly, and two, that means that the window.open command is not working either. So the advanced action on the previous slide with the go to next slide/page URL on the last step is working. It then transitions to this slide, the advanced action shows/hides the three text boxes on click, but once the last click is reached with the javascript command on it, nothing.
Try viewing in Chrome with the console open (CTL + SHIFT + J). Are you getting any errors? Always debug and troubleshoot with the console in Chrome, or with Firebug in FireFox. It will tell you exactly what's going on... and you can even step through the JS code to see the order of operations.
Thanks Jim! I've been doing all of my testing in Safari since I'm on an iMac and on my iPad 3. Luckily I do have Chrome and Firefox on the mac - I just learned about firebug this weekend but haven't had a chance to get it installed/figure out how it works.
I'm not getting any errors in the Chrome console as I step through the project. The first advanced action is working again, but the second is still not if anything being activated it appears. But the text boxes are showing as designed. IF it would help, the most current version of the project is here:
What does the JS look like in your advanced action? (need screenshot).
Looks like you've defined the functions, but have not called them.
//call functions
are they called in the javascript first, or somewhere ele on the slide? one of those times I wish I wasn't such a noob.:)
Add this to your existing JS code at the bottom:
Jim, you've made my week! Thank you so much!! It works like a champ now! so I've got two hours to hopefully figure out how to get a message box to appear in a jQuery window and test to see if this bad boy will work without chrome on the iPad now.
Glad to hear it Rhybeka! I wish you success on your project!
Looks like I spoke too soon - it works fantastic on the iMac - still looping on the iPad. I wonder what the difference is besides Safari?

SOUTH AFRICA: SA fantastic hunt....lion+14!
Hunting report
This is my and my husband's (Jamie) third trip of a lifetime to Africa and we hope it is not our last! Though we have enjoyed AfricaHunting.com for several years now, this is our first trip report. Our first two trips were unresolved for quite some time but now we hope we have gotten our issues worked out by no longer working with our previous outfitter, Johan Swart. It took us 2 years to get our first year's trophies and only with the help of our PH. Last year? Well...that's a story for another day. So without further ado, here is our hunting report! Since we haven't done reports for our previous trips, the length of this one will make up for it.
Our three-week trip took place in August 2012 beginning with photographic safaris in Pilanesberg and Madikwe. Our PH, Danie Combrink, (whom we have had on all of our previous trips) arranged our SAPS paperwork before we arrived so our post-flight experience at SAPS was short and sweet. We stayed at Opikopi Guest House in Pretoria and enjoyed a wonderful stay while finally being able to sleep flat after our last 16-hour flight. The next morning we traveled to Kwa Maritane in Pilanesberg, where we stayed for 3 nights. This was adequate time to see the entire park with our PH as our guide. Though we didn't see the actual kill, we got to watch lions feeding- a first for us.
Attachment 13278
The roads were pretty bumpy a lot of the time but all in all we had a great experience there. We saw lots of giraffe, zebras, elephants, black and white rhino, blue wildebeest and some hippos along with many varieties of antelope.

Attachment 13281
Attachment 13282
Our lodge was extremely comfortable and the breakfast and dinner buffets were awesome!
Attachment 13283Attachment 13284
There is a watering hole by the restaurant but we weren't at the lodge enough to view anything that came there. We registered our guns at the gate, which was a pretty painless process.
Our next stop was a 2-day stay at The Bush House in Madikwe. Due to rhino poaching concerns the trip into the park with our guns was a bit more eventful. We were met with loaded guns put on us while we were interrogated. We had to go through 3 gates before we got to our lodge (the gun welcoming only occurred at one gate). We felt that they could have a better system in place for hunting visitors since we had to fill out paperwork at every gate. It was all good, though, since they evened out our end-of-the-barrel welcome with a second welcome at the lodge consisting of hot towels and sherry. Our gate experience did not prevent us from having an awesome time there as well, however. Again, our accommodations were beyond expectations and we would certainly make a repeat visit. They also have a watering hole by their lodge and like Kwa Maritane they also had a hide to be able to view the watering hole at ground level. Elephants and friends came in with the dependable timing of Old Faithful each day in between our daily game drives. From the hide we were close enough for elephants to be able to crack our peanuts for us with their feet so it made for quite a party.
Attachment 13285
Beyond enjoying another lion feeding Jamie also got to experience being kissed by an elephant on one of our drives. We had just watched this elie sparring with a younger (humiliated) bull. The older elie came up to the vehicle- not aggressively, but merely inquisitive. He wanted to see who it was that had witnessed his recent triumph. After checking out the rest of the vehicle he picked up Jamie's hand with his trunk and investigated him. When he was satisfied with his investigation he slowly went back into the bush. It was an unforgettable experience. It brought Jamie back to memories of our trip last year to Zim, where the elephant encounters were plentiful (though not quite that intimate!). A few hours earlier we also got to enjoy seeing wild dogs feeding. Our conclusion is that you know its going to be a great game drive when your ranger says, Please don't tell the owners this happened!
Attachment 13286Attachment 13287Attachment 13288Attachment 13289
Now on to the hunt! Jamie took his Remington 700 300 Win shooting 150gr Barnes Vortex ammo and Stiller 375 RUM shooting 250gr TTSX for the lion hunt (story to follow) and any other big critters. Both guns wore the latest fashion of MPI stocks.
Our first stop was by Kuruman. We are more ketchup and two-piece silverware kind of people and though our lodge was a bit fancier than those standards this did not take away from the great experience we had there. A common experience was to open your door and hear the gallop of a kudu running across the lawn, kicking up divots of grass as he chased a letchwe under the sprinklers. Once the animals left the security of the lodge grounds, however, they were as wild as any other game we've experienced so Jamie still had good hunts. Though it was a large property, it was also saturated with game. There were lots of rolling hills and a different landscape than what we've hunted previously.
The first morning we went out and checked the rifles to find the two Leupold VX-6. 2-12 scopes fared the plane ride very well despite airport baggage handlers attempts to the contrary. We weren't out long before we found out that there are mountains in South Africa! We saw a few Barbary sheep but didn't see any large rams. Then we rounded to the backside of the mountain and found a herd of about 30 sheep with several good rams. It was interesting to see how once they startled they grouped up, making it very challenging to pick one out. The ram that we wanted was right in the middle of the pack so Jamie put him in his scope and had to wait. After 20 minutes waiting and Danie knitting a new scarf, the herd began to shuffle and Danie looked up from his knitting needles and started to say hes co BANG! Danie was going to say that the ram was coming but Jamie wasn't going to wait around for Danie to start the matching cap. After Danie got a chance to rub the blast out of his ears they measured the great trophy- a 29 Barbary sheep. The trip up the mountain to get him was quite precarious with all the loose rock.
Attachment 13290
After the pictures were taken we were off for more hunting. We saw several very good kudu in the 50-53 range; but Jamie had told Danie he was looking for a 55. Jamie had one particularly appealing kudu in his scope for several minutes at one point but Danie couldn't say he would go over 53. It was a tough decision but we let him go after a great stalk and a lot of fun. We spent the rest of the day looking at many black and blue wildebeest, zebra and eland.
Danie said the letchwe leave the lodge grounds in the night so we were going to look for them first thing in the morning. Jamie felt bad that he was going to hunt a letchwe that was playing in the sprinklers but he underestimated the personality change that took place once they left the security of the lodge grounds. Shortly after leaving we spotted a group of 5 males in a clearing and Danie and Jamie got off the pickup to make a stalk. After a few hours of playing cat and mouse in the thick brush (and arguing over which one was the right one when they could only see one at a time) Danie said, "That's the one!" and Jamie shot him running through the brush (the letchwe that is). After he went down Jamie turned to Danie and asked, "Was that the right one??" Danie smartly replied, "You shot it, so I guess so." When we got there Danie affirmed it was in fact the right one and we had our second trophy- a 29 letchwe.
Attachment 13291
That day we had a picnic lunch up on the mountain. Boerewors were cooked over the open flame and we were able to have our ketchup after all (and we even got a break from the task of using multiple pieces of silverware!). Soon after we found a blue wildebeest that Danie thought would at least go 28 and after a short stalk he gave us the slip (the wildebeest that is...Danie wasn't done hunting yet). There was a big herd of springbok in the fillet so we decided to switch our attention to them. While looking for a good male we saw the blue wildebeest running through the trees. After a short time of stalking he gave us the slip once more. Now it was personal! They got back in the pickup and decided to try to get him from a different angle. We spotted him across the valley and the pickup went on as a distraction. After sneaking several hundreds yards the wildebeest knew something was up and was watching us. They had to crawl a couple hundred yards- bush to bush. As we were trying to figure out how to get a clear shot all of a sudden the wildebeest was gone again!! We thought we were going to hang our heads in defeat but then saw him running towards us. We figured he was trying to get downwind. Running while trying to get him in an opening, he circled past us and Jamie shot him on the run. A 29 blue wildebeest now earned Jamie his new camp nickname "Mr. 29". Jamie said that was fine with him as long as he didn't shoot a 29 kudu!!
Attachment 13292
Our third morning out another PH said he saw another large kudu using pickup lines on a female near camp. We went looking for it, finding the unimpressed female, but not the bull.
Attachment 13294 They then shifted their attention to look for springbok. Soon they saw a large kudu bull; but Danie yelled, "wait...he's got one horn shorter than the other!" Continuing on, a large warthog jumped out of the brush near the pickup and Jamie asked for parental permission and as he got his approval, his gun went off before the full answer could be given. Jamie and Danie have a pretty good relationship that way. A 13 warthog was not a bad morning start!
Attachment 13293
Heading back to camp for lunch, the PHs wanted to look in the area where they had seen the big kudu male that morning. They found him near a waterhole and we then added a trophy Jamie has been waiting on for 3 years- a 56 kudu!

Our next stop was lion hunting by Vryburg. Here is Jamie痴 story of his hunt:
As we drove up to the property we were going to hunt, we saw our target was waiting for us near the gate. Only a few minutes into the hunt, we already knew this was going to be interesting. Before our hunt Danie asked Johnny how aggressive the lion was and Johnny痴 response was, 展ell, you never really know. The first thing I thought when I saw him was that the lion was not afraid and concluded he must either be really tame?r not tame at all!
We went in another gate so we could get around him and drove to where we thought we should get out to walk and intercept where he was. Danie and Johnny both had their 458痴 and I had my 375 RUM as we went to look where he was, stopping to glass into the bush every few paces. When we got to where we could see he had been lying, he wasn稚 lying there anymore! We continued on figuring we壇 pick up his track where he went into the bush and continued to stop and glass every few paces. We came to the edge of a small clearing and Danie and I both stopped to glass the opposite side of the clearing. After going about another two paces, the other guy exclaimed while looking where Danie and I had just glassed, 典here he is! He had circled around and was now stalking us from behind. I hadn稚 felt like a mouse in at least a week so I was wondering where I had left my hole! The lion was 60-70 yards away with only some small brush between him and us. We quickly discussed whether we should try to get closer and I said we should wait and see if he lays down, thinking that if we tried to get closer while he was still standing then he would likely charge. The lion crept forward to the edge of the bush on his side of the clearing and laid down. We decided not to try to get closer, presuming he would charge if we did. Looking through the scope I found a small opening in the bush directly into his chest. Danie, the other guy and I were all trying to get the sticks up in front of me. We got the gun on the sticks and my first shot was good- directly through the heart. My second shot zinged his mane as he wheeled around, going in his right shoulder and through his lung. My third shot we think was missed and likely hit the brush. The fourth shot went through his spine. When we walked up to him, we threw rocks at him every few feet. The other guy with us could really throw rocks! He was throwing them starting at 40 yards and continued to do so every few yards. At about 7-8 yards from the lion he was going to throw one more under the brush and it ended up hitting Danie痴 rifle barrel. The lion was dead when we got there with a bunch of branches in his mouth. The next day Johnny told me that he hadn稚 said anything before this since people take things differently, but he said he had been nervous going out to hunt that day because he knew this lion was quite aggressive and a fighter. This was only the second time in his history of hunting 300 lions that he had ever been stalked. Just after the hunt Johnny called his mom whom he said had been down on her knees until after this hunt was over. His wife痴 dad also called from a funeral he was attending of a family member to check in. Glasses of champagne were all around as we concluded the hunt with photos and memories for a lifetime.

_DSC7455LR.jpgI wouldn't take this photo until AFTER the hunt!!
Our hunting had gone so well up to this point that we were ahead of schedule so we decided to hunt in the Bronkhorstspruit area and stayed at Luiperdskloof Game Lodge. The lodge was on a small reserve so there wasn稚 hunting on the property. Instead we went out from there to various concessions. Again, we had a repeat experience of an extremely comfortable lodge and great hunting.
Our first day there we went to one of the concessions that we hunted in 2010 where it is more open and easier hunting. In the course of the day we added a 23 black wildebeest, 22 red hartebeest and a huge stallion zebra with 81 stripes (unfortunately Danie said that Rowland Ward is 82 stripes). The zebra was so beautiful that we now have to find a place to display our full mount zebra that we will be a part of our new d馗or. This was a small concession and Danie had brought his own skinner. Since the zebra was so large we took him to the local butcher shop. It was quite interesting to see a zebra hanging between the cattle and the sheep while Danie was overseeing the skinning.
_DSC7482 LR.jpg_DSC7502 LR.jpg_DSC7520LR.jpg
The next day we went looking for common reedbuck and this resulted in meeting an interesting rancher. He had plenty of personality and was fun to visit with. He was trying to thin out his reedbuck population because the blacks have been putting out poisoned corn to get the reedbucks for meat, which has resulted in his horses eating the poisoned grain at times. The rancher said we could shoot any we saw because he and his neighbors could use the meat. We passed on some females since we didn稚 want to scare the males; but after shooting a 12 male we also got a female as well.
_DSC7550 LR.jpg_DSC7555LR.jpg
It was a lot of work getting them out of the swamp so we decided to call it a day. It may not have been a huge trophy but we had a terrific day of hunting. We spent the rest of the day on a game drive by our lodge and got some great photo ops as well as spotting some jackal.
The next day we went to another concession near the ranch we had hunted the day before in hopes of finding a mountain reedbuck. Halfway up the very steep, very rocky mountain, Jamie and Danie had a good laugh over noting that their shoes were still wet from walking in the swamp the previous day. As they topped the mountain they spotted a group of reedbuck with a very nice male. They hid and watched them until they calmed down and then had another crawling stalk to get into a shooting position. Sitting on Danie痴 shoulder while also standing on, Danie痴 foot Jamie got in a steady position to shoot a fantastic 8 reedbuck. Now they just needed to get their trophy down the hill. After a 10 minute argument, Danie won and carried the reedbuck down the half mile mountain on his shoulders. He looked to me like a shepherd bringing home his sheep.
_DSC7676 LR.jpg
They also had klipspringer on the property but had never shot one so we thought the conditions were ripe for a real trophy. So after a few granola bars and dry lemon, back up the mountain they went. Jamie saw one out of the corner of his eye and they worked in that direction, peeking over every rise. When they had about given up on finding him they ended up nearly tripping over him. He darted over the hill and in the little time it took the guys to catch up he had gone under the fence to the safety of a neighboring concession. There at 25 yards stood a monster of a klipspringer with his hooves in his ears, tongue out while chanting, 渡a-na-na-na in contempt. Jamie swiftly raised his gun, pointed it at him and let out an enthusiastic, 釘ANG! As the klipspringer once again darted off over the next mountain, Jamie turned and walked by a puzzled Danie. Jamie proclaimed that he had gotten his klipspringer to which Danie chuckled with a reply, 添es, and he痴 a great trophy!?br>
The next day we wanted to go back and get our nemesis on the right side of the fence but the concession owner was busy hunting in another area for a few days. We moved on the Ermelo area. One night they tried calling in jackals but unfortunately none of the jackals answered. We did, however, manage to acquire some needed wedding decorations for the concession owner that included two porcupines (for the quills).
The daytime hunting was much more successful. One of the goals was a white blesbuck and we went to an area with large herds (mixed in with common). They spotted the one they wanted but had trouble with him not positioning himself away from the rest of the herd. While they were standing on a ridge, waiting for the blesbuck's next move a duiker jumped out from below. Jamie once again asked for parental permission and as the PHs discussed the matter in Afrikaans over a cup of cappuccino, the duiker was gaining ground. Upon permission, the first bang (real- not spoken) Danie directed, "Behind him! This shot shifted Mr. Duiker into Road Runner gear. Leading the duiker further ahead, the next shot was more successful. Getting the duiker on the run came to the surprise and amusement of the PH that was escorting us on this concession. Jamie has gotten used to shooting animals on the run with his love for fox and coyote hunting and now he was able to put his experience to good use in Africa!
_DSC7908 LR.jpg
After getting the very old, 5 duiker they were also able to achieve their intended goal by getting a 15 white blesbuck. This trophy was also a patron of the retirement home where the duiker lived.
That afternoon we went to another concession in search of fallow deer. Since the area was quite open, there was only a lone, usable tree to hide behind. A termite mound surrounded the tree and Jamie used this as a gun rest. The height was just a bit too much so to compensate Jamie stood with one foot on a rock that they found while his other foot was nearly up to his chin while digging into the termite mound for support. Unfortunately I don't have photos to offer the visual. This turned out to be a successful shooting position, however, and the team was happy with the results. When Jamie asked Danie how he was supposed to measure him Danie sheepishly grinned, "How am I supposed to know? It looks like a good one!" So maybe somebody reading this can tell us if it is in fact a good one.
All in all the guns and loads worked fantastic. Jamie used the 375 for the lion and zebra and the 300 on the rest. The TTSX worked great and did very little damage to the hides on the smaller animals yet when put in the right place, it knocked everything down quite quickly. Only one recovered bullet- 149 grains. Interestingly many of the animals bled more out of the entrance than the exit. Jamie was also very happy with the performance of the VX-6 scopes.
In closing, we had a fantastic trip to Africa and we would definitely make a repeat stay at any of the places we experienced on this trip. We are grateful that this successful trip with Danie has helped us to heal from our negative experiences from our last two hunts, largely incurred by our previous outfitter. The hunt for us is about a lot more than the shooting and Danie helps make the hunt memorable in every way. Danie has recently decided to go out on his own and be his own outfitter and we support him in his endeavor. It has taken us several years to finally begin to understand the cultural differences we have with South Africa but learning the culture and experiencing it all has only added to our enjoyment of Africa- despite any difficulties we've encountered.

13435 Ventura Blvd, Sherman Oaks, CA | Directions 91423-381234.147158 -118.426019
Neighborhoods: South Valley
Great Browsing Atmosphere – Along Sherman Oak's Ventura Blvd, The Psychic Eye Bookstore offers a calming environment to sink into a collection of curious tomes, fragrant oils, herbal ingredients for majick practices, hand-made items, greeting cards, wall hangings, lanterns, and more. My main gripe about the place has always been its lack of organization. Although it is always clean and tidy, I can't find anything specific there. If I want a book on a particular topic or by a particular author, I am better off going anywhere else. If I am OK poking thru their collection for things I did not plan on getting, I sometimes come out with a real gem. They do make it easy to look thru the inventory. I have purchased audio programs there that have been life-changing. They have some psychics there who are dead-on accurate and extremely helpful - not all of them, but the ones who last long-term are among the best I have met. They also offer classes. I have not taken any but hopefully I will. I regularly buy their essence oils, incense, and small gift items. Those interested in occult jewely will be delighted by the unique and comprehensive selection for a wide range of prices. I have bought their tapestries for tableclothes and bedspreads and enjoyed them a lot. The employees are mellow and unintrusive, polite and helpful when you have a question, but otherwise, they let you shop in peace. It is a great place to pull out of traffic and relax for a while. THe parking, however is dodgy, and you may have to park a few streets over to get a free spot. Besides the parking, the only thing keeping me from giving this icon a 5 star rating is the disorganization of the books. The used section is actually much better than the new section.

Book Shop lacking Books – I was underwelmed when I went to this shop. The atmosphere wasn't very welcoming & most of the shelves were empty. First time I've gone to a metaphysical shop and left feeling worse than when I went in.
Offbeat Atmospheric Shopping at it's Best! – I had been to the Psychic Eye's Burbank location before..it was small and rather unimpressive, but the one in Sherman Oaks blew me away. There's a great selection of herbs, candles, Tarot cards, tumbled stones, as well as religious statues (from every religion there is, I think) and tons of great gifty items. I tend to stop by a couple of times a week now (blush) because there's always something new to look at, I enjoy getting a reading every now and then from their psychic readers. For the most part, the psychics are good readers and genuinely believe in what they do, which is very nice. The staff are fun and helpful, despite the fact that their phones ring off the hook and rarely let them away from the front desk.
If you do stop in, listen to some of the music they play...it's a really unique blend of New Age/World with really cool ambient electronica and soundtrack jazz mixed in. All in all, a truly unique atmosphere and fun place to shop. Definitely recommended!
Affordable Therapy or where to buy unique gifts. – I am very lucky to have this store in my city. It helps me, when I'm down or up, or just want to have extra inspiration. I've always got help and when I'm in need it's my "therapist". I'll go there with my BIG VERY IPORTANT UNIQUE problem and after 15' minutes reading I feel helped. I'm able to afford whenever I need immediate help.
Plus as a store it's special & the staff is helpful & I'm also able to afford to buy things. It's fun. It's great!
Eclectic bookstore offering spiritual guidance for every religious and metaphysical persuasion. – The Scene
This unique chain offers an exhaustive collection of books about, and paraphernalia from, every religion you've ever heard of--plus some you never knew existed. This shop also maintains a staff of professional psychics who give private readings on-site.
The Goods
Whoever your deity of choice is--Buddha, Shiva, Jesus--this shop stocks statuettes of them all, along with Wiccan altar chalices, divining pendulums, smudging herbs, candles, incense and tarot cards. The spiritual art and artifacts represent not only all the major (and minor) religions, but the spiritual cultures of the Incas, Aztecs and the ancient Egyptians. You can even pick up items from Marie Laveau, New Orleans' Voodoo Queen.

Can we expect Climate Justice in Copenhagen?
Hemantha Withanage a senior environmental scientist and the executive director of the Centre for Environmental Justice / Friends of the Earth Sri Lanka gives his response to the question in his latest blog entry.
Climate change is very high in the global political agenda at the moment. 15th Conference of Parties to the Kyoto Protocol will begin on December 7th, 2009 in Copenhagen. COP 15 will be a very crucial event in the history of human race. However, we cannot have much hope since the developed countries so far very hesitant to accept their historical responsibility to the climate change and enter to a genuine deal...
