1987 4 runner fuel problem
My 4 runner will not start and narrowed it do to the fuel. I and not getting any fuel at all. Enen before the filter. I checked and tested relays and everything check out. I have a Haynes manuel and it tells me to check ifb I am getting voltage on the Fp terminal. I am only getting 9 volts cranking. I checked to see if I was getting voltage back by the fuel tank with ignition on or cranking and not getting anything. I was wondering it the ECU would cause the voltage issue?
I don't want by epensive parts without know it that was really the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Keep in mind that my truck is a 1991, so I will assume that your 22R-E is similar enough to mine.
Is the engine cranking (not just the starter turning, but the engine is actually turning over). If so, sounds like you are not getting the fuel pump to turn on (good deduction, eh?). You expect anything from 9V to 14V at various places on the ECU when you diagnose it, although measuring 9V cranking wouldn't surprise me.
So /no/ pressure in the fuel lines into the engine bay, right? Just making sure that the fuel pump is really definitely not running when you're trying to start.
-Any trouble codes stored in the ECU?
-Any other things electrical not working? In particular, does the ignition happen to be dead (check that you are getting spark while cranking).
-Check the EFI fuse in the main fuse block
-Check the AM2 fuse in the main fuse block (this feeds the EFI fuse as well as the ignition fuse, which is why I asked)
-Check the EFI relay (main fuse block in engine bay). The EFI Relay is relatively easy to check. Put voltage across terminals 1 and 3 and if the resistance between 2 and 4 is zero then the terminals are closed. With no voltage across 1 and 3, the resistance between 2 and 4 should be infinity (the contacts should have opened).
-Check the Circuit Opening relay (mine is up under the dash by the ECU). The Circuit Opening Relay is slightly more complex. Battery voltage across STA and E1. Terminals +B and Fp should close and +B and Fc should close. No voltage at STA and E1, both contacts should be open.
-Check the Starter relay (main fuse block in engine bay). Battery voltage across terminals 1 and 2, should see 3 and 5 get continuity. With no voltage at 1 and 2, terminals 3 and 5 should also be open.
If all of these check OK, check the wiring to the fuel pump. If you seem to have battery voltage there, the fuel pump might have failed. That's not so easy to diagnose in place, you have to take it out.
It's also possible that a fuel line is just clogged.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for getting back with great information. Yes the engine turns over but would not start. I did all the test for the relay per instruction from the Haynes book. The relays that I have located is below the fuse panel on driver side, the other is located behind the glove box next to the heater and AC fuses and the open circuit relay on the passenger side by the ECU unit. I cannot find the EFI main fuse in the engine bay. I believe this is the same one one the driver side by the fuse panel. I also checked the EFI fuse on the fuse panel and all checks out good.
That is correct no pressure in the line to engine bay. I even loosened the line between the pump and filter and definely no fuel pumping. I did check for voltage at the line to the fuel pump and I get none thats with key on or cranking.
I don't have a scanner to plug in for codes.
When I tested these relays I did a resistance test per the manual and test all came out good. I did not add voltage. Is testing it with voltage applied going to read different?
Raining out now but when I get a chance I'm going to try and trace the wire from the pump to the the relay as I get no voltage at the plug for the pump.
This happened to me, it was the fuel pump/sending unit. Costly, but fixed it right up.
Not sure if that's your issue, but you could test it.

It shouldn't be your fuel pump that has gone bad if you have no voltage at the fuel pump with the engine cranking. You will never get voltage at the pump if the key is on, but the engine isn't running. The computer is smarter than that and wouldn't let the pump run continuously if the motor isn't running. If I remember correctly and if its like most cars you should also get voltage at the pump when you first turn the key to the on position from off for about 5 sec or so. This is so the pump can build up and pressure that has bled down before trying to start. So you could also check that if you have somebody to help you.
If you still have no power at all at the pump I would check voltage on the output leg of the fuel pump relay. That would determine if you have a wiring problem between the relay and the pump. If no voltage there check to see if you have voltage coming into the the relay on the input and output side. If you have voltage on the pump side of the relay that is good. If you don't you have a problem between the batter and the relay, and your vehicle is a different wiring than mine so I will be no help there. If you dont have a signal to the relay from the ECM on the input side of the relay you could have a problem with a number of things like...ECM, CPS, Cam position sensor, bad wiring between ECM and relay. All sorts of things.
Hope this helps some, I have had these problems before on a number of vehicles. One other thing you might try is to manually put power to the pump and try and start the engine. If It doesn't start there is something else going on like with the ECM or sensors on the engine.

I forgot, there is a very important additional step!
If you short +B to the Fp in the diagnostic connection, it will bypass the circuit opening relay and the AFM switch. It will make the fuel pump run with the key to ignition as along as the EFI fuse and the EFI main relay are still working. This is where the early and late 22R-E systems might differ. On early 22R-E engines the bypass leaves the circuit opening relay in the diagnostic circuit (just bypassing the AFM switch) and in mine it seems that the Fp-to-+B jumper also bypasses the circuit opening relay. At least according to the FSM diagram. I dunno in a 1987 if the circuit opening is bypassed or not. It might not be bypassed with the diagnostic jumper between Fp and +B.
If jumping the Fp to +B does not make the fuel pump run, then the AM2 fuse, EFI fuse, EFI relay, pump or wiring have to be bad.
If it does run, then it has to be the control circuit, which is the starter relay, circuit opening relay, AFM. Also check that the ALT and AM1 fuses are good. I'd then check that the switch in the AFM is good and if so, then look at replacing the circuit opening relay.

Thanks for everyones great information. I have tested the EFI fuse, EFI relay and the open circuit relay and all came out good. The only one I have not been able to locate is the AM2 fuse. Is there another name for it? I did test all fuses in the fuse panel and all is good. I did try the +B to FP jump and turned on ignition and pump doesnot come on.
Dave suggested It has to be the AM2 fuse which is the only fuse I have not tested I need another name or help locating this fuse. it or the wiring between the pump and the relay.
Keep in mind, this is all in my '91.
The AM1 and AM2 are the big 30A (AM2) and 40A (AM1) fuses in the main box, right side behind the battery. In my fuse panel they are between to the huge 80A ALT fuse and the headlight relay.
If either of those was blown, you'd have several electrical things not working.

I'll check that out this evening when I get home from work. I Haven't noticed any other components not working. If AM2 checks out fine, I'll start with wires between pump and relay.

Coming Soon exclusively to the Official Claudia Christian Website and Store!
by Claudia Christian
THE ORIGINAL is about movies and acting, but touches on high fashion, martial arts, science fiction, and emergency medical procedures. It is a fast-moving and compelling thriller, with flashes of comedy set against desperate and deadly struggles between the Klassnys and Overlords. It has an appeal to a very wide audience, and contains some rare and honest insights into the real Hollywood.
THE ORIGINAL is the story of Sara Larkin, an actress who thought her career in Hollywood was on the slide. Then she kills herself, some mysterious people dispose of the body, and she gets on with life as someone else. At first everything improves. She gets a good role in a major movie, Assassinelle, and soon she is on the way to becoming a superstar.
All the while she is becoming less human… people called the Overlords are still trying to kill her, but the Klassnys have sent the deadly and psychopathic Doctor Svetlana to protect her. It is vital to the Klassnys that both Assassinelle and Sara become major hits. As the movie nears completion, a shadowy war between the Klassnys and Overlords erupts. Sara is caught in the middle, and neither side seems to be the good guys.
The Original will be available for purchase and download ONLY in the Official Claudia Christian Website Store in November 2014. All proceeds go to support the C Three Foundation.

The social dimension of patient decision-making is relatively understudied, although oncologists routinely recommend that patients bring a spouse or close friend to a medical visit. As African American patients talk about their options with thei loved ones, we need to understand how these social relationships effect patient attitudes and beliefs about chronicity, mortality, care, and cure to shape the decisions patients make, including whether to participate in clinical trials. The goal of this study is to develop an inter-personal framework to clarify how social relationships influence the way African American patients make decisions about lung cancer care. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the US;overall mortality rates are estimated at 72% for men and 41% for women. Outcomes are worse for African American patients who are generally diagnosed at younger ages, with more advanced disease, and greater comorbidities. Non-small cell lung cancer, in particular, is often diagnosed at advanced stages resulting in poor prognosis. Differences in how the disease itself manifests produce several treatment options even in the context of low overall survival rates. As African American patients weigh such treatment options with their significant others, we need to understand how these conversations affect patient attitudes and beliefs to shape patient decisions, including whether to participate in clinical trials. Though several different behavioral constructs explore dimensions of social support and social influence, they fall short of adequately describing the actual dynamic between patients and their significant others when they talk about making decisions outside of the doctor's office. This study will evaluate the applicability of these different constructs to inter-personal decision-making, and then use anthropological methods to explore the patient-family dynamic to elucidate an inter-personal decision-making framework in lung cancer care. Specific study objectives are to: 1) Develop a preliminary framework of inter-personal decision-making that incorporates applicable behavioral constructs (e.g. perceived versus enacted social support, social influence, dyadic coping,) to delineate the moment-to-moment interactions between patient and significant other;2) Survey African American lung cancer patients d 18 months of diagnosis (n=100) using the framework constructs;3) Refine the framework using qualitative data from joint interviews with a subsample of 20 patients and their spouses over three time points (post-diagnosis, treatment, after-care;n= 60 interviews) conducted at home or in community. This research is significant because it combines behavioral theory with patient-reported experiential data to investigate an important dimension of medical decision-making. Findings will lead to evidence-based psycho- social interventions to reduce treatment outcome disparities in African American lung cancer.
The relevance of this research to public health lies in increasing our understanding of how African American patients use conversations with their spouse or significant other to think about the decisions they need to make in the course of lung cancer treatment. We can use this understanding to better inform physician practice in caring for lung cancer patients and thereby address treatment and outcome disparities in this minority population. This work will lead to new interventions that will provide additional psychosocial resources for African American patients, their families and their physicians to help them make the decisions that are most appropriate to their particular circumstances.

Dental Implants Brooklyn NY
Welcome to Tooth Implant Brooklyn. On this site you are going to learn a little about who we are, and what we do. However, and we must stress, nothing makes more sense than setting up a consultation with one of our experts, so you can start the process of taking care of the problem you came here to solve. We can give you great information, and you are welcomed to go ahead and look around, but none of it is customized for your particular situation. When you contact the Pros directly, either through the form set up here on the page, or by calling us up directly – you can be sure that we will be able to help you get the ball rolling on creating what the majority of our visitors are looking for – a whole new smile.
Tooth Implant Brooklyn is a referral network; made up of experienced dental specialists of various disciplines, who were brought together to help you achieve a picture-perfect smile with the latest, and greatest, tools, resources, and knowledge available on the marketplace today.
Of course, time-tested solutions like dentures, bridges, and bonding are fantastic, and have their place in the world of cosmetic dentistry, but when you need to replace a missing tooth – there is absolutely nothing better than dental implants, period, end of story.
The artificial root that is placed within the jawbone doesn't just act like a real root, in time, it literally becomes a part of your anatomy! When we finish working with you to create that new smile, you really do get a set of new teeth!
Due to the increased rate of obesity here in the United States, we have also seen an increase in the amount of periodontal disease in this country as well. This is pretty easy to explain. The body is interdependent. In other words, one area of the body affects the other. There is no such thing as just "working abs," when doing fitness training, or expecting aspirin to just take care of the pain you are experiencing. When you work your abs, you are also working your back, and even your pectorals depending on the work that is being done. When you take an aspirin, you are also causing other chemical reactions to take place within the body – not just the masking of the pain.
When you are overweight, you cause your body to go into a toxic-fighting mode. Realize that when you are overweight, even slightly, you are experiencing high levels of toxicity within the body. This is what causes the body to create "fat," and helps to insulate your organs from these toxins. In order to create this miracle, the body needs nutrients. When someone is overweight, the majority of the time they are malnourished. Due to this malnutrition, the body looks to extract nutrients wherever it can get it. In many cases, it starts with the bone and with the teeth.
Now of course, we would love to have a world of healthy people, but that is not the reality of the situation. Until we see a change in the way people think about their bodies, we are going to continue to see an upward trend of periodontal disease. This trend, sadly, has caused our industry to boom. We have seen a need for our services like never before, and because the doctors in our network on working on so many people, so often, they are now able to deal with virtually any challenge a patient can throw at them.
Best Dental Implants Brooklyn NY
There are generally two kinds of dental implants: in-the-bone implants and on-the-bone implants. The first one is used most often, and that is because a large percentage of our patient base has a jawbone strong enough to handle the surgical procedure that takes place. This, of course, has nothing to do with the people themselves, and everything to do with the power of the human body. We can throw garbage into our system on a regular basis, and like the time machine from, "Back To The Future," it can take that garbage and turn it into energy.
However, there is a smaller percentage that must go through several more steps before they can be ready to have an implant set properly. Remember, we are using one tooth in our examples, however we can replace one, several, or even all the teeth in your mouth if need be. Now it won't be easy . . . but it can be done, and we can do it.
Once the the implant is given time to integrate with the jawbone, and is accepted by the body, the dentist reopens the gum line where the post was placed, and connects what is known as the abutment. The abutment is what connects to the crown. Once the abutment is in place, the dentist then cements the crown for a permanent fit.
Low Cost Dental Implants Brooklyn NY
If you have ever heard the saying, "There are many roads to Rome," then you know that there many ways to approach a problem. The same is true for any issues you may be having with your teeth. If they're crooked, you may need braces. If only one is crooked, you may be able to get away with bonding. If you are missing a tooth, and cannot afford an implant, a bridge and crowns may be what you need. As you can see, there are many ways to alleviate the stress of missing teeth, damaged teeth, or teeth that bother you due to a congenital defect. While we salute all dentists here in the U.S. and abroad, and the solutions they provide their patients – we also believe that implants are the very best solution for replacing a missing tooth.

With so many options available, at so many affordable price ranges, there is no excuse to suffer in silence.

Danny García, the man who left Amir Khan a wrecked shell on the floor of a Las Vegas ring in the summer, travelled halfway across America to witness his rehabilitation on a crisp winter's night in Los Angeles and reckoned Khan's thrashing of Carlos Molina was enough to justify a rematch.
Months of tedious negotiations and trash talk await, of course. Khan, also, will want time to let his fractured hands heal, the price he was willing to pay for pounding Molina with 156 power punches over 10 one-sided rounds in front of 6,109 Angelenos on Saturday night until the referee, Jack Reiss, decided the local fighter's cut and butchered face could take no more.
García, too, has work to attend to: defending the light-welterweight belts he ripped from Khan against Zab Judah in New York in February. There is also the small matter of García's father, Angel, who goaded Khan with racial taunts in Las Vegas and whose acid tongue remains in good working order.
But, encouragingly, the man whose final call it probably will be has no problem fighting Khan again. "If that's what the promoters want and the fans want, then we can do it," García Jr said. "If I have to give him another shot, then I will give him another shot."
Khan boxed brilliantly on the outside behind the fastest jab in boxing and made only a few minor errors of judgment. Those meaty counter-hooks he did take steadied rather than rocked him, unsurprising given that Molina was fighting at 10st in a major bout for the first time in 18 fights. It was as good as Khan has looked in a long time, vindicating his decision to leave Freddie Roach after losing to García, he would say.
The three judges scored it a shut-out for Khan before the stoppage and his new trainer, Virgil Hunter, declared with predictable hyperbole: "He is on his way again to becoming a truly great boxer."
Roach was in the building and smiling over the performance of his new welterweight hope Frankie Gómez, a 48-second winner against Pavel Miranda, but he slipped away quietly.
There is still heat between him and Khan, and the fighter's family are not happy with Roach's version of their split. "There are two sides to this story," his father, Shah, told me later, not altogether pleased with my account of it last week. "It will all come out soon."
What was wholly unexpected was García's fulsome tribute for the man he destroyed in July.
"I finished him in four rounds and learnt a lot from that fight and have since become a better fighter," the Philadelphian said. "I grew up in that fight because Amir is definitely up there. He is world class. I knew Amir was going to be fast but I thought, 'How fast can he be? He is only a human being after all.' But boy was he fast. I was thinking, 'Who else was in the ring hitting me!'
"I had to adapt quickly, because I am not the fastest starter in the world, but, as soon as I started landing punches, I knew I could beat him.
"I don't think his defence is poor – he is reckless. He tries to throw too many punches at one time and that's why he gets hit. He just needs to be a little more cautious. He just can't go into the ring thinking that he can destroy everyone, just because he punches fast. But I don't want to say too much because I don't want him to prepare better."
Khan impressed not only his family, friends and fans in this garlanded old venue (host to Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali in its 53 years, not to mention John F Kennedy the year he became President) but also his American partners, Golden Boy Promotions, his new TV friends at Showtime – and the formidable Team García.
The GBP chief executive, Richard Schaefer, hinted Khan's next opponent might be Josésito López in the spring, which would suit Hunter, who reckons he has some work to do on Khan yet. If García beats Judah, he could entertain Khan back in Las Vegas in June or July and victory there would set the Bolton boxer on the trail of the man who started his troubles a year ago, Lamont Peterson. There is much to do before then.
Angel García, who said of Khan before he fought his son, "I never saw a Pakistani who could fight", was in combative mood on Saturday, and remains a considerable roadblock in any talks.
"If we win on 9 February," he said, "we can sit down and talk about it.
"It's not about the money. The question I ask myself is 'if he had beaten Danny, would he have given Danny a rematch?'. Every time he beats someone, he never gives them a rematch. But every time he loses, he wants a rematch. It's a two-way street."
As for his son, he reckoned: "Danny is getting more mature. Before he would hurt you and let you recover. Now he just wants to finish. That's part of his mentality right now, to destroy you. Now he's the champion, he has to go out there and let people know he's the true champion. He's got to go out there and destroy people in four rounds."
Danny chuckled at the observation and observed: "I think Amir knows that my dad will be talking this time around as well, so it's not even going to bother him. But, in the first fight, Amir wasn't expecting it.
"So my dad just woke him up. The good thing was that he got under his skin. The crazy thing was that Amir seemed more worried about my dad than he was about me."
But maybe Danny is now just a little bit more worried about Khan.

Ailing Automaker Why GAZ Is Pinning Its Hopes on Opel
Ailing Russian automaker GAZ has an ultra-modern production facility -- but its business strategy is flawed. The company directors are hoping that a deal with Opel and Magna will give it the fresh start it desperately needs.
Not far from the "Motor of the Revolution" metro station a huge billboard advertises a "legendary automobile factory." Portraits of the company directors who have headed Russia's second largest automaker since 1932, beam down from between red stars. A huge speedometer hits 80, 100, 120 kilometers per hour -- and then abruptly jumps to 300.
Workers assemble trucks at a GAZ factory in Nizhny Novgorod.
But capitalism has not been kind to the long-established company. Since the end of the Soviet Union, the number of employees has shrunk from 110,000 to 40,000. Reduced working hours, lay-offs, flawed production policies and debts exceeding a billion euros all plague the company. And this, of all companies, is to be the savior for German automaker Opel?
GAZ touts itself as an "industrial partner" of the Russian state bank Sberbank and the Austrian-Canadian supplier Magna, which is to acquire 55 percent of Opel's shares. The biggest part of that majority stake, 35 percent, will go to the Russians. The buyers, Opel's American parent company GM, and the German government have agreed on that much -- the details, though, still need to be negotiated.
There are now increasing doubts about whether the deal will go well and whether a supplier can really help Opel. And the biggest concern of all is whether the Russian automaker can contribute when it needs help itself.
Andrey Slepushkin, an energetic production director in his mid-30s, has been pegged to perform a sort of miracle -- turning a factory that recently was at an 1980s-level of technology into a platform that will launch Magna's bid to conquer the east. Magna believes there is great potential to increase Opel's low market share in Russia from 3 percent to 20 percent. A new plant, which produced the sports utility vehicle Opel Antara not far from St. Petersburg, would be too small for such growth.
Slepushkin has worked in General Motors factories and speaks outstanding English, much to the enchantment of Magna workers on site. In one and a half years, he managed to assemble a $290 million production facility which had been purchased in the US and brought to Nizhny Novgorod for producing Chrysler Sebrings.
Blind to the Desires of Its Customers
The engineer is proud of high-tech robots that apply adhesive to rear windows before carefully putting them in place. "In Russia, this level of automation is only available with us -- just like at Opel in Rüsselheim," he said. He uses these kinds of phrases over a dozen times to envision the future collaboration. Quality control, computer-controlled precision -- everything like at Opel. Andrey and his bosses leave no room for doubt that "in about nine months, we will be ready to switch from Volga production to an Opel brand."
Billionaire businessman Oleg Deripaska pays a visit to the GAZ factory at Nizhny Novgorod.
The engineers and managers at GAZ have mastered a leap in quality that only few believed was possible. But even they couldn't shake the chronic illness of the Soviet-communist economy: they have remained blind to the desires of their customers.
As a result, they came up with a car they dubbed the Volga Siber. The name combination of Volga, the repair-prone GAZ classic, and Sebring, an unknown American car, put off customers. Russians don't want the discontinued models of the West -- instead they want budget-priced brands associated with quality.
During the debate about the name, Oleg Deripaska, notorious for his lone decision-making, reportedly had the last word. This significant model policy failure is fueling doubts about whether GAZ is the right partner for Opel.
Even in Moscow's government circles, people are discussing whether the GAZ managers are possibly following a fundamentally flawed strategy: They are using all their resources to pump life into the production of personal automobiles, a weak point for the company, but they are running the risk of neglecting their strength -- the production of vans and light trucks. Since the mid-90s, the "Gazelle" has been the company's bestseller. The line of minibuses and pick-up trucks has reached a 58 percent market share in Russia. The quality is passable and the 8,000 price unbeatable.
Unbroken Optimism
Recently, however, GAZ lost a bid to manufacture ambulances for the Russian Ministry of Health to a joint venture between Fiat and the Russian manufacturer Sollers. It was a warning shot. The outdated GAZ bestseller urgently needs to be modernized. On top of that, the £50 million (59 million) purchase of the British lorry company LDV ended in disaster. The company is now insolvent.
The Gazelle and the other GAZ vans and light trucks "aren't suffering losses during the crisis -- we have had to reduce our production from the peak value of 15,000 vehicles a month in 2007, a boom year, to 5,000," says one manager. At the assembly shop in Nizhny Novgorod, there is only one shift still working -- and then only three or four days a week. GAZ has just announced 5,000 more lay-offs to the employment office. The company's acting human resources director hanged himself in December in an office bathroom. "Because he couldn't bear the pressure," the newspapers wrote.
Nevertheless, Slepushkin's optimism is unbroken. He believes in Opel, even if the deal is not at all secure: The Germans are still flirting with interested parties in China. And Sberbank head German Gref suddenly predicted publicly that the Opel would also be a good partner for AvtoVAZ, a GAZ competitor, located in the southern Russian city of Tolyatti.
The GAZ directors hope that the market will rebound. In the first half of last year, Russia overtook Germany as the strongest auto sales country in Europe. The accumulated demand is huge in the massive country. In Russia, there are just over 200 cars per 1,000 people -- in Germany, it is over 550. Experts are confident that the country will have sales of over 5 million automobiles in the year 2020.
If that is the case, GAZ might be able to succeed at accomplishing what is promised by a slogan posted at the exit of its headquarters -- "a breakthrough in the Fatherland's automobile industry." With Opel's help, the failure of the Volga Siber could still turn into a fresh start.

Fat Loss For Idiots Weight-reduction plan for Success Making it Occur
Dieting is much too typically approached from the mindset of impending failure. Too many people have tried and failed so plenty of diets of their previous that they fight the next radical food plan with absolutely the information that they will fail on this try as well. Guess what? They will.
Henry Ford once mentioned, "When you think you'll be able to or suppose you can't you'll all the time be correct." For those who assume you're going to fail at this weight loss plan you are dooming your self to failure before you even deprive your self of the first bite. Take into consideration that before you begin as a result of only a real masochist might find pleasure in perpetuating this vicious cycle with out ever stopping to surprise why not one of the different diets have worked for you. Henry Ford also mentioned, "Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again extra intelligently". In case you had been questioning I would say his words are quite profound. Critically though, if you don't study the reasons in your failures you're actually dooming yourself to repeat them and if you are already preparing to fail why on earth would you even try?
And simply to notice, these strategies may be applied to the fat loss for idiots course for dropping fat quickly. Fat loss for idiots has been one of the well known dieting products for years.
You're the solely one that can take management of your must consume. You're the only one who can listen and notice when you are eating for emotional fulfillment and if you discover yourself consuming from necessity. You and also you alone can obtain your self out of your chair and in your feet. You're the only one that can take the duty for the situation through which you find yourself. There are health exceptions however even in these situations in case you are attempting diet seeking weight-reduction plan and failing again and again then you could in some unspecified time in the future in time understand that it's quite doubtless by no means the diets that aren't working.
We must all be accountable for our successes and failures in life. It's no different on the subject of dieting. There's few better feelings on the planet than for someone to notice and praise your efforts. If you're especially obese unfortunately, it may take a bit of extra time for people to truly notice the load you've lost. Too many women and men hand over simply because no one observed and that's an unbelievable shame. Give your weight-reduction plan practices a possibility to work earlier than you decide they are an incapability and furthermore you simply might shock yourself with a roaring success.
The reality is far too few folks maintain themselves accountable to their dieting and weight loss goals. Which means that far too many individuals are giving up with out actually ever bothering to offer it an effort. In case you have an issue holding your self accountable to your dieting ambitions, maybe you'll do nicely to diet with a partner. This helps you by no means only set targets but additionally to satisfy and exceed challenges alongside the technique. An associate may benefit from the partnership as she or he will most likely be challenged and feel the necessity to carry out better than if he or she had been dieting alone.
You could maintain your self accountable to your acknowledged weight-reduction plan and weight reduction targets with the intention to obtain any lasting results. If you have not had weight-reduction plan success previously, then perhaps it is time to convey a point of accountability into the image and make it take place.
Also, check out the fat loss for idiots review post.

Thesis: Members of the public who care about local produce might be good prospects to attend local theatre.
At first I thought I should file this idea away until the northern hemisphere spring; but it will probably take a little organizing to pull off, so why not talk about it now?
A company or a group of companies could set up a table at a farmers market promoting local theatre. The specific spin would be that like fresh, locally grown arugula and eggplant there is a special value in seeing art in your own community made by members of that community. Of course, you've got the strongest pitch if you produce works of local playwrights using local actors, but anybody can give this a whirl.
A table full of flyers and post cards staffed by an enthusiastic volunteer would get you part of the way. However, one of the fun things about farmers markets is getting to try the samples. To really execute this idea, it would be best to pull some excerpts from currently available work and perform 45-90 second snippets live and free for passers by. If you don't have the rights to do this kind of informal performance, commission micro-plays from local playwrights that in some way amplify the work you are trying to draw attention to. Perform those instead. Some kind of free sample is crucial.
That's it, a really simple one. And you've got months to get your execution ready for the spring.
Anybody already doing anything like this?

Through the first 17 games of the season Paul Martin has, quite literally, served as the Penguins' defensive anchor. He's registered a team-worst plus/minus rating of minus-11—and it's sinking fast. On a club packed with overachievers Martin sticks out like a sore thumb, for all the wrong reasons.
This could hardly be what Pens general manager Ray Shero envisioned when he inked Martin to a lucrative free-agent deal during the summer of 2010. Indeed, when the smooth-skating defenseman arrived in the 'Burgh, many regarded him as a poor man's version of another former Devil, Scott Niedermayer.
Thus far, the Pens have gotten a pale imitation. After a fine start in 2010-11 (seven points in his first seven games), the Minneapolis native's output has been positively pedestrian (two goals and 20 points) over his last 87 games.
Worse yet, the normally reliable rearguard's been prone to coughing up the puck of late, along with some poor decision-making. During a 5-3 loss to Carolina on Saturday he was caught up ice on the final two Hurricanes goals as a result of ill-timed pinches.
Martin's struggles in the Steel City are puzzling. There's no denying the 30 year old has the tools to be a top-notch defender. A fluid, nimble skater, Martin possesses tremendous closing speed, which enables him to cut off opposing puck carriers with relative ease. Smart and heady, he generally makes intelligent reads and handles the puck well. While hardly a bruiser, the 6'1", 200-pounder takes the body effectively when the situation calls for it. The only thing missing from his arsenal is a howitzer of a shot. However, there are far too many nights when No. 7 doesn't measure up to the sum of his abilities.
Maybe it's a confidence issue. Or perhaps he misses his regular partner, Zbynek Michalek, who's been out since October 22 with a broken finger.
Although it's counterintuitive given his skill set, it's possible the likeable redhead is more comfortable playing within the confines of a structured system like New Jersey's. Coach Dan Bylsma's full-steam-ahead approach—while highly effective—places extra demands on the defense. This might explain, in part, why Martin appears to be out of sync at times.
Whatever the reasons, the Pens need Martin to start earning his keep. Given the black-and-gold's organizational depth on defense, if he doesn't find his game—and soon—look for Shero to dangle him at the trade deadline.

"Sleep inducing"
Probably not
Very dry reading.
The stories could have been interesting but the way they were written seemed like they had been translated from another language - simple sentences and textbook sounding. I was very disappointed that these engaging stories of courageous and legendary women were so sucked of life. Try a different version if you enjoy storytelling.

Sapp takes punishment, dishes it out
Darrell Fry,
The St.Petersburg Times
, published 2 October 2000
After being benched for the first quarter, the Bucs' defensive leader registers a sack and blocks a field goal. Warren Sapp started Sunday's game in Tony Dungy's doghouse, but later made a big play to help Tampa Bay get into overtime. Sapp, last season's NFL Defensive Player of the Year, was held out of the first quarter as punishment for being late to a team meeting Saturday. Once in the game, the Pro Bowl defensive tackle registered a sack and partially blocked a field goal that prevented the Redskins from taking a six-point lead with 43 seconds remaining in regulation.
Sapp's absence from the first quarter didn't appear to cost the Bucs, who lost 20-17 in overtime. With Tyoka Jackson starting in Sapp's place, the defense kept Washington's high-powered offense in check, allowing just 19 first-quarter yards as Tampa Bay took a 7-0 lead. Sapp came in at 14:04 of the second quarter. He didn't have a big game, racking up two solo tackles and one assist. But he put his stamp on the game quickly.
After tying the game at 7, the Redskins threatened to take the lead with a first and 10 at the Tampa Bay 35 with 1:15 remaining before halftime. But Sapp bullied his way through the line and dragged down quarterback Brad Johnson for a 7-yard loss. That essentially killed the Redskins' drive, pushing them out of field-goal range. After a Johnson incompletion and a 4-yard pass to the Tampa Bay 38, the Redskins were forced to punt.
The blocked field goal came with the Redskins leading 17-14. Sapp pushed up the middle and got a hand on former Bucs kicker Michael Husted's 35-yard attempt, leaving the kick well short. "I got a great push from Don (Davis) behind me, and I just got my hand up," Sapp said. "Mike is notorious for kicking low balls. I blocked a couple in practice when he was with us, so we knew that coming in."
Sapp, however, refused to talk about sitting out the first quarter even though the punishment for such a team violation was typical. Last season, backup defensive lineman John McLaughlin and receiver Reidel Anthony were declared inactive for a game because of a similar infraction. Sapp said he was informed before the game that he would be held out of the first quarter, but he would not elaborate. When pressed about it, he responded by saying, "Next question." Eventually, he threatened to stop answering questions.
Sapp clearly was frustrated by the loss. Having to miss the first quarter only made things worse. After answering the final questions, he dressed and left quietly, speaking only to a few people. Other players were tight-lipped about the matter, too. "I'm proud of the fact that he didn't make a big deal about it. He accepted it just like everybody else on the team," linebacker Derrick Brooks said. "He sat out the first quarter and then came in and played a heck of a ballgame."
Brooks said the Bucs missed Sapp while he was out, but his absence didn't affect their ability to contain Washington. "We're a team and we just moved on and somebody else had to step up," said Brooks, who led the team with 11 tackles. The defensive line did a good job, especially Jackson. He had an excellent game."

Tichaona Zindoga
President Mugabe spoke authoritatively about the issue saying we are all one. The moment people or groups of people try to raise the tribal card they become anathema.
Are we not all happy that the political temperatures in the country have cooled, especially after the swift intervention of President Mugabe who told factionalists in the ruling Zanu-PF to shut up?
At this time last week, we were all in the grip of something heavy in foreboding; some kind of siege and deep fear that our country was hurtling towards something nasty and evil.
The signs, the bad omens, were there. The energy, the negative energy, was there.
Factional conflicts in the revolutionary party were taking worse turns and protagonists were willing to fight it out in public without fear or shame.
The gloves were off.
Thursday marked a climax, a crescendo of these factional fights as war veterans were bussed in ostensibly for a special meeting.
As we now know, their convenor, Cde Christopher Mutsvangwa, had not followed proper channels to legally hold that meeting.
And once they got into Harare, the war veterans were met with the force of police who made sure that they did not go ahead with the meeting and deployed tanks, teargas and other non-lethal means to disperse them.
The country was thus careened towards a cliff, which, the following day, it took President Mugabe's intervention to haul us back.
We are relieved.
You see, the danger with the path that the country was now taking is similar to a fire that is started by a match that is tossed off by a careless drunk in the veld.
It starts off small but burns down the whole forest, this tiny fire that burns big logs and whole trees of the bush.
And the winds of the sky blow the fire to reckless, dangerous potency, driving it forward with naked, lustful, consuming rage.
Pity the grass, the snakes, the little creatures that have nowhere to run: they become fodder and fuel.
But even the big trees are not left unscathed as the fires consume everything in the way.
It is easy to assume that when a fire starts in a veld, or anywhere else, it becomes a force on its own; an evil on its own, that is driven by a spirit and spirits of its own.
In the same manner, you could see that factionalism was beginning to drive as madly and in an evil manner of its own, and true to evil spirits, a whole legion of spirits of different shades and character converge on a feast of destruction.
Until they are cast out.
But the price of factionalism is high: who is going to talk about bread and butter issues and the economy caught in a life of death and an orgy of self-destruction?
Who thinks about the dying, the sick and the hungry?
Who cares about the woman dying while giving birth, children dropping out of school, rural girls that lack sanitary ware and people lacking access to clean water?
The problem of factionalism, especially the overt, naked one, is that it creates a false reality, wrong priorities and an unhelpful narrative.
It also creates false gods.
It can make giants out of midgets.
In the madness of it all, some people without any sophistication pose as prophets and high priests of a false religion.
Woe to honest people who are either driven to murder or are persecuted for doing the right things – or things they cannot help.
But then, as pointed out above, we are safe.
The President spoke (and we hope we are not seeing some characters talking in whispers at nocturnal venues).
That is a mourning, global picture of factionalism as lately as we have seen.
There is still one worrying aspect that came starkly out of the debacle – and this is the main submission of this piece.
It is talk about tribalism or regionalism.
Tribalism is not something new in Zimbabwe.
Some people would like to say tribalism is an African problem, an atavistic phenomenon that tells so much about our backwardness.
Scholars want to blame tribalism on colonialism which they say amplified divisions among African people and made them to fight each other in the classic divide-and-rule fashion.
That is largely true.
But before the coming of the white man to Zimbabwe, for example, as much as the country was at peace in itself, there were some tribes that were more aggressive than others.
In fact, all empires and societies were built on war, even though various would maintain their particular identities, culture and philosophies.
But modernity whether brought by wars, and especially now enhanced by knowledge was supposed to end all the harmful and atavistic characteristics of tribalism?
Alas, it didn't, especially in Africa.
Now it's as a threat to democracy – even worse than autocracy.
This is the view of Harvard scholar Professor Calestous Juma.
He says: "The challenge to democracy in Africa is not the prevalence of ethnic diversity, but the use of identity politics to promote narrow tribal interests. It is tribalism.
"There are those who argue that tribalism is a result of arbitrary post-colonial boundaries that force different communities to live within artificial borders…in the absence of efforts to build genuine political parties that compete on the basis of ideas, many African countries have reverted to tribal identities as foundations for political competition.
"Leaders often exploit tribal loyalty to advance personal gain, parochial interests, patronage and cronyism. But tribes are not built on democratic ideas but thrive on zero-sum competition."
Just these past weeks we heard a lot of disturbing noises about what tribes could or not rule Zimbabwe.
Then there was that pathetic, tragicomic assertion by Cde Obert Mpofu that no person from Matabeleland North province was fit to lead this country.
President Mugabe spoke authoritatively about the issue saying we are all one.
The moment people or groups of people try to raise the tribal card they become anathema.
You see these groups at the bar, at school and other social gatherings huddled together discussing their little agendas of supposed marginalisation or perceived superiority.
It is truly disgusting, hearing educated, mature people discussing that it is time for a person of this or that tribe to rule this country.
Come on!
This writer has expressed humble disgust at some people bent on pursing this route.
We have enough challenges to confront as a nation and whoever rallies the country around confronting issues of the day should be king.
And to rally the country around the national question presupposes unity not petty and atavistic tendencies such as tribe or region.
Prof Juma puts it nicely when he says: "The way forward for African democracy lies in concerted efforts to build modern political parties founded on development ideas and not tribal bonds. Such political parties must base their competition for power on development platforms."

Paula Deen
CINCINNATI — Paula Deen's merchandise and media empire is fast unraveling, and now a popular Tri-State market is joining several major corporations and dropping the celebrity chef.
Meijer, a hypermarket chain with stores in Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky, instructed its employees Friday to remove several cook books written by Deen from store shelves.
Meijer managers and employees were given "special service instructions" stating "All titles authored by the chef Paula Deen must be returned immediately. The titles need to be pulled from the shelves on the Tuesday (7/2/13) visit. If possible, please pull and return the stock earlier."
Meijer also included photos of "Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible" and "The Deen Family Cookbook" in its instructions on which items to remove from shelves.
Last week, the Food Network announced it would not renew the celebrity cook's contract. Following that, diabetes drug maker Novo Nordisk severed its ties with Deen. And after that, Target, Home Depot and Walmart announced their stores would discontinue sales of Deen's cookware and other items.
The fallout builds from revelations that the Southern celebrity chef used racial slurs in the past.
But amid the losses to Deen's empire, many book-buyers are standing by her.
As of Thursday morning, "Paula Deen's New Testament: 250 Recipes, All Lightened Up," ranked No. 1 on Amazon.com. The book is scheduled for October. "Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible," was at No. 13. Several other Deen books were out of stock.
Deen appeared in a "Today" show interview Wednesday, dissolving into tears and saying that anyone in the audience who's never said anything they've regretted should pick up a rock and throw it at her head.
The chef, who specializes in Southern comfort food, repeated that she's not a racist.

Currently we are at 6/16hc (4 in msv, 2 in hof) and also we have done Spirit Kings on 10man hc with some of the people.
We seem to aim for Garalon next, but i'm wondering if we should go for it or some other boss first.
On Spirit Kings 25, we havent had much training, but it's such a mess on 25. Recently we did Mel'jarak quite easily and seem to be quite solid now (had a lot of replacements during december-january).
(Also, to clear out things for our guildies, is it possible during a lockout to go for Will if we have done 4/6 hc and some have done Spirits before the lockout. I'm thinking that it works like FL that you need to clear all on hc but some insist that we go Will before Spirits.)

ABC took another shot with its interactive iPad app tonight, providing live content, character bios, trivia and polls to users as they watched Grey's Anatomy. ABC's Grey's Anatomy Sync iPad app is the second app of its kind. The first app, ABC's My Generation Sync, fell by the wayside last year as the tv show only aired two episodes. It was a shame because this new type of technology shared with Nielsen shows promise for what can be done in the future, bringing viewers interesting and interactive content live.
For those who had the chance to test out ABC's My Generation Sync, there was not much new to see. Still, it's great to see the app in action. The app syncing process was the same. Trivia, poll questions and other content were provided at the same time corresponding scenes were shown on tv. There was a new Facebook interface that popped up a few times asking questions like, "Do you think Callie and Arizona will get back together?" Facebook users' comments were shown and the app user had a chance to comment as well.
The poll questions contained a horizontal scrolling bar allowing the user to select various degrees of their choice between two answers. Final results showed up soon after. There were also bits of insider information provided via the "Director's Chair", "Editor's Choice" and "Production Notes" with such insights as how and why certain scenes were filmed.
Parts of the show focused on tweeting in the OR during surgery and how a doctor, who wasn't hip to the social media craze, became aware of how useful Twitter can be. He eventually answered tweeted questions from other doctors as he operated on a patient.
One disappointing part of this new app was the intrusion of Lexus ads. Not only did a banner advertising the Lexus show up several times between other content blocks, sometimes with a video of a car commercial, there were a few instances of trivia questions being asked about the automobile. A few ads here and there is understandable, but ABC over exposed the ads, and went over board with 3 Lexus related trivia questions. How many inspections must the Lexus RX pass during production? The answer is 3100.
A success for the most part, this type of app is sure to become more popular and widely used in the future. There are many avenues still to be explored to draw the viewer and app user in even more. Hopefully the ads won't be as frequent and intrusive next time.
