my engine light is on - auto zone says fuel vapor sensor (I have the part it's not installed yet)
now the fuel gauge is not registering correctly at idle it'll drop below empty - could it be the fuel level sensor? or sending unit?
2 Answers
Inspect the fuel level sensor connector to the sending unit for any corrosion. Clean it and test it to see if it reads a full gauge. Grounding that pin to a good chassis metal contact will test the fuel level sensor for their full gauge readings.

Slideshow: My Pie Monday: Japanese Pizza, Pecan Crust, and More!
Scott D's Yellow Tomato Margherita
"I found some yellow tomatoes and decided to make a Yellow Tomato Margherita. I thought it would be a nice change and also would freak my guests out. I used a four-day-old cold-fermented dough made with Caputo flour. The pie actually tasted very similar to my usual red-sauced Margarita. Everybody thought it was delicious and was one of their favorites. I cooked it in my fire brick-lined barbecue." —Scott D.
hmw0029's Japanese Pizza
"Here is my 'Japanese pizza' (J-pizza? Japizza?). I came up with shungiku-miso pesto when I was cooking for my family in Japan. I liked it a lot and thought it might work on pizza. So I went all out and did a Japanese spin on the toppings. For the shungiku-miso pesto, I swapped components of classic pesto. For the herby green component, I used shungiku (edible chrysanthemum). For the nut component, I used ground sesame seeds, and for the hard cheese/umami component, I used miso. Plus garlic and olive oil (thought about using sesame oil, but I think it would be too strong). Toppings: salt-pressed tofu, carrots tossed in salt and oil, and a sprinkle of yuzu shichimi. It was accidentally vegan, and delicious." —hmw0029
Norma's Pecan-Crust Pizza
"This pizza dough was made with a blend of 80% King Arthur Sir Lancelot flour, 10% Spring Wheat Prairie Gold (ground-up kernels), and 10% pecan flour. This pie was dressed with my regular tomato sauce, a blend of mozzarella and mild white cheddar, grape tomatoes, a couple of slices of red and green pepper, and a piece of fresh basil, after the bake. It had a hint of pecan flavor from the ground pecans. I have a spice and nut grinder that I used to grind the Prairie Gold kernels and also the pecans into flour. I also used the preferment Lehmann dough formula for this pizza but added more water because the Prairie Gold and pecan flour did affect the hydration of the dough formula." —Norma427
Adam Kuban's Pineapple Pizza
"This is from either Kenji's New York–style pizza dough or the Cook's Illustrated thin-crust pizza recipe, I'm not sure which, since I had batches of both, unmarked, in my fridge last week when I made this. The sauce is definitely Kenji's New York–style pizza sauce. I'm addicted to that shit. Having solved the 'creepy bagel' crust issue, Girl Slice now says, 'I actually look forward to Pizza Night now,' and of course she gets to request toppings. Here, a pineapple pizza, since it's one of her favorite toppings. (See 'Pineapple Pizza. I Love It. Get Over It.'." —Adam Kuban
Dhorst's BLT Blue Pizza
"Two day cold fermented sourdough topped with aged mozz., Applegate turkey bacon, cherry tomatoes and gorgonzola. Finished post oven with a bit of romaine lettuce and cracked black pepper. It could have used a bit of brininess or heat to balance the richness. Hot honey, has been ordered and just may do the trick here. Yeah, yeah, dmcavanagh—salad on pizza—I heard you before I even started making the pie ;)"—Dhorst
Cookhacker's Sausage, Mushroom and Caramelized Onion Pizza
This is my favorite pizza. It's a very easy to make sourdough whole wheat pizza crust (recipe here) brushed with olive oil and topped with a simple garlic tomato sauce, slow-cooked caramelized onions, spicy Italian sausage, sautéed sliced mushrooms and part-skim mozzarella with a dusting of garlic powder. It's baked on a pizza stone in a 500°F oven for 10 minutes. If I don't have it at least once a week, I get suicidal." —Cookhacker
Gregmcg's Cook's Illustrated Thin-Crust Pizza
"Best I've ever made. I modified the recipe to make personal-size pizza due to my pizza stone size, and these fit on the plate. I also only let them rise for about 8 hours. Made four pizzas for six people, and we all like the pie to be more well done. Everyone raved about how good they were." —Gregmcg
James S.'s Tomato-Mushroom Pizza
"Here is this week's pie. The dough is half Caputo '00' and half organic all-purpose flour, with a little vital wheat gluten to bump up the protein (I didn't have any bread flour on hand.... yeah the blizzard got me). I used about 15% preferment of Ischia and a touch of yeast. Cold-ferment for 3 nights. Once again I used my oven in an oven, using fire bricks to create a box in my oven. Baked at 550°F for about 9 minutes. This pie is a fresh tomato (jarred from this past summer's farmers' market) with half mushrooms, fresh mozzarella, and basil." —James S.
Rick C's Asparagus Pizza
"This was made with Trader Joe's dough. It has fresh mozzarella, and sautéed mushrooms, asparagus, and onions. No sauce, but instead had some garlic and Italian-spiced infused olive oil. This pie was cooked in a 500°F oven on a pizza stone for about 10 minutes." —Rick C.

Comments Thread For: Chris Arreola Will Be Ready For Stiverne By Mid-April
The final WBC heavyweight eliminator between Chris Arreola and Bermane Stiverne (22-1-1, 20KOs) is once again hunting for a new date. Citing bronchitis, Arreolas trainer pulled his boxer from the fight with Stiverne. The fight was scheduled to make place on March 9th as part of an HBO televised split-site edition of World Championship Boxing.
The fight has been shuffled around several times. Last September, Stiverne's promoter Don King secured the promotional rights after winning the WBC's purse bid with a whopping submission of $1.1 million.

Hopefully only a short break for Arreola, he's a guy who needs to stay active in order not to fall back and get out of shape. Sounds good if the Stiverne fight happens by mid April, fingers crossed.

Ramirez is a good trainer he just needs to quit being so friendly with Arreola. When it comes to training friendship should be put aside and it should be all business. I serious doubt the Great Manny Steward had beers and tacos with his fighters...

SUWANEE - The little girls squealed in delight at the kittens at the Georgia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Suwanee Monday.Dropping off a check for a $100 donation from their cookie profits, more than a dozen Brownies could barely contain their excitement at the chance to pet or hold one of the strays. "I like animals. I think they are cute," 6-year-old Jordan Everett said after placing a black kitten back in its cage. The girls in Troop 1253 chose to donate the money to the shelter to get their Cookies 4 a Change badge, voting for the shelter over adopting an animal at the zoo or the aquarium. The choice surprised Jordan's mom Angie Everett, who thought the girls would pick the zoo. But she said many have pets at home. "I think they connected with this more," she said of the no-kill adoption shelter. While many of the girls and their siblings held their noses or their ears as they shuttled through the shelter's dog room, Claire Ferry, 7, enjoyed the cat room. "I wanted to go to the animal shelter," she said of why she voted for that choice. "This is the first time I've been." Claire doesn't have any pets at home, she explained. "My mom won't let me - allergies," she explained before turning back to the four-legged felines. The money, which was about 10 percent of the troop's profit from selling 1,200 boxes of cookies this year, will go to food, rent and other expenses at the shelter, a staffer said.

Dr. Yamaguchi rocks....he is soo nice, and he completely understands people like me who have a humongous phobia of dentists. He always listens to me about my pain during all procedures and even has his staff call me at home to check on me afterward. He is the best dentist I've ever been to and I absolutely recommend him.

Casino Ratings guide
|5 star rated online casinos are just a cut above the rest. They have solid reputations, financial stability, and longevity. 5 star sports books offer world class customer service, more betting options, larger limits, and mobile/tablet/desktop betting platforms. 5 star books welcome all recreation and professional players.
|4 star rated online casinos are just a small notch below 5 star rated sports books, in most cases the only difference between the two is longevity, limits and betting options. Payouts are fast and hassle free, you can't go wrong with a 4 star book.
|3 star rated online casinos are safe to play at. They offer decent betting options, good customer service. They may offer a slightly bigger bonus offer than top rated books to compete. Payouts may take a little longer but you will be paid. This is not a good option for players with deeper pockets.
|2 star rated online casinos are play at your own risk sports books. They offer decent betting options and poor customer service. They use larger bonus offers and gimmicks like free contest etc to bring in extra business. We do not recommend playing with a 2 star sports book or anyone that offers large deposit bonus options. Stick with 3 stars and above or go to Las Vegas or Atlantic City to place your bets.
|Black List
|Run! They will take your money and not pay.

I was so happy to have the opportunity to intern at CCH over the summer. It is an amazing and organized not-for-profit that benefits so many people in need in the Chicago area. Through the organization, I gained a better understanding of the issue of homelessness and how critical of a role CCH plays in advocating for the needs of the homeless. I am grateful to CCH for providing me with insights into the issue as well as an idea of how an organization is run effectively. The staff and volunteers are all so friendly and committed to the cause. They balance the different facets from fundraising to advocating for public policies very well. I am so impressed with the CCH team and am honored that I got to be a part of it!

CCH has helped me gain a better understanding of homelessness and the importance of advocacy. Working there as an intern has helped shape me as a social justice advocate and as a person in general.

I have long been a supporter of Chicago Coalition for the Homeless. I have seen the effects and successes CCH has brought about in working tirelessly for those who have great needs. Because of
their dedicated work, it is rewarding to contribute time and money to support CCH since I know how
effectively they spend the money.

I was blessed to work with the Coalition this past summer. They do profound work advocating for homeless rights. They match with advocacy with outreach services to truly serve the whole community. What a welcoming and inspiring organization!

I have been volunteering with CCH for 10 years and I have always found it to be a wonderful nonprofit. Their advocacy work is vital to protecting homeless and at risk people in Chicago and Illinois. Their staff are great to work with and I am always glad to help the organization. I would recommend helping this group to anyone who wants to work towards lasting solutions to urban homelessness.

The Chicago Coalition for the Homeless is a fantastic organization. They are genuinely passionate about raising awareness for a cause that affects so many. I got involved by raising money through their guest bartending program which is a clever and fun way to get people involved in donating to a worthy cause. I would highly recommend getting involved in any way that you can. I cannot imagine not having a warm bed on our cold winter nights.

My experience at the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless has been extremely fulfilling. In addition to the skills and knowledge I've acquired while tending to organizing needs, I've gained a more thorough understanding of the political and activist process. This will be infinitely helpful in future endeavors that require organizing principles.
Without the time I've spent learning the ropes at CCH, I wouldn't be nearly as prepared for professional positions as I am now.

I first got involved with Chicago Coalition for the Homeless as a Policy Intern in the fall of 2012. They are doing such incredible work to fight with people who are homeless for their rights. The people who work there are great, and the work they do in their community organizing, policy, and law departments is so effective that I decided to stay involved by joining their Associate Board. It is a great organization, worthy of your time and money!

I chose to do my internship with CCH because I want to be a change agent for Homelessness. I believe change agents assists in altering the capabilities of human beings and organizations. I am only interested in positive changes that will improve the lives of individuals. My life experiences (being literally homeless for ten years) has given me insight and understanding of what it feels like to be on the receiving end of services and good counsel of social workers. I believe that the coupling of my experience, passion, academic knowledge and tools of social work are a perfect blend for becoming an intern and team member at the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless. I believe that my involvement in CCH will teach and mold me into the agitator I was meant to be, help me reach my goals of becoming a good advocate for marginalized communities, and become an excellent policy maker.
Chicago Coalition for the Homeless. Believe me I have made the right decision in joining CCH!
The Chicago Coalition for the Homeless was established in 1980. The mission statement is,
"We organize and advocate to prevent and end homelessness, because we believe housing is a human right in a just society."
There are three main programs/campaigns:
Outreach Programs Sweet Home Chicago Legal Aid
Speakers Bureau No Youth Alone Resources for youth
Women's Empowerment Budget Advocacy Resources for Students
Reentry Project Prostitution Alternatives College Scholarships
Jobs Project Round Table & SAGE Healthcare enrollment
Horizons Creative Writing Plan to end Homelessness in Chicago
Writing Outreach
The Community Organizing Department has many branches of organizing. The outreach program endeavors to provide outreach at over 30 facilities, with four field organizers, Dollie Brewer, Rachel Ramirez, Wayne Richards, and Dasia Skinner leading the way. The different branches of Community Organizing are, Outreach program, Speakers Bureau, Women's Empowerment Project, Reentry Project, Job s Project, and the Horizons Creative Writing Outreach. CCH has a statewide program headed by Jim Picchetti which organizes service providers in nine suburbs. The Community Organizing department of CCH also operates a Speakers Bureau, which goes out in the community to talk at churches, schools, and civic organizations, about homelessness and their experiences while homeless. CCH has a mobile legal aide clinic run by Beth Cunningham, which goes out in neighborhoods to serve unaccompanied youth. CCH effectively offers information that lets parents know about the rights that their homeless children have, dealing with the Chicago Public Schools. Their outreach allows parents, families, and children become involved in the campaign to end homelessness and advocacy.
The Advocacy and Public Policy department includes the Sweet Home Chicago Campaign, No Youth Alone, Budget Advocacy, Prostitution Alternatives Round Table (P.A.R.T), SAGE, and the Plan to End Homelessness in Chicago. The Sweet Home Chicago campaign works with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and nine other community organizations including Jane Addams Senior Caucus, Community Renewal Society, Albany Park Neighborhood Council, CCH, Bickerdike Redevelopment, Kenwood Oakland Community Organization (KOCO) and Action NOW works towards affordable housing, more SRO's, making TIF funds available in low income neighborhoods to rehab apartment buildings and restoring vacant property.
The Advocacy and Public Policy department has the No Youth Alone program. This program advocates for unaccompanied children. An unaccompanied youth is a youth living without a family or guardian. A state wide youth committee was organized in 1983, which helps the No Youth Alone program work towards programs and policies that will help unaccompanied youth.
The CCH Law Project helps homeless youth and children. Over 250 children and youth are helped a year by four lawyers. These lawyers represent youth in Chicago, Suburbs, and downstate Illinois. In 2014 the Law Project closed over 298 cases. The law project works with the CCH community organizers by doing outreach at shelters.
Some significant victories of CCH are the enactment of the Illinois Homeless Bill of Rights. This bill of rights provides information about the legal rights of homeless individuals and how they are protected by this bill of rights. It makes it illegal to discriminate based on a person's housing status. In the spring of 2014 with help from the media, community and legal pressure, CCH was able to stop the closure of two cubicle hotels that the city of Chicago was trying to close. Through CCH advocacy in Springfield over the past few years, SAGE (Survivor Advocacy Group Empowered) working with End Demand Illinois has developed support for new legislature that will end felony charges for prostitution in Illinois. They had already worked to pass three laws over the past three years that focused on traffickers and customers, but also had restorative step for the females who are prostituted and often homeless.
CCH continues to advocate in Springfield and with state legislators to maintain state funding for shelters, and homeless prevention grants, and homeless youth funding.
Current campaigns of the Community Organizing Department are the Reentry Pilot which is designed by CCH, CHA, the Safer Foundation and former incarcerated men and women. This pilot can improve how CHA addresses and helps house ex-offenders. Another campaign CCH is currently involved in is Homestretch. After the screening of a documentary entitled 'Homestretch" about the lives of three unaccompanied youth in Chicago, CCH launched a campaign to raise $59,112 for work with homeless youth. 59,112 is the number of students identified as homeless by Illinois public schools last year. A continuing campaign is the college scholarship program. CCH awards renewable scholarships to seniors who have been homeless, a client of the law project, or a youth leader for CCH

I've been volunteering with the Coalition for almost 2 years and really value all of the great relationships I've made over that time. The Coalition is really skilled at bringing people together to fight homelessness and have great skill empowering people without homes to speak and fight for themselves. CCH has a long list of significant accomplishments in getting policies through on affordable housing, reentry, services for homeless youth, and preserving/increasing state budgets. It is a great group of people with a real positive attitude to the work they do. Go CCH!

This morning I am closing up the house, closing up the bag, and closing up my all too brief sojourn at The Sabine Farm. I leave with a heavy heart, in many ways, since this place is such a peaceful refuge.
Back into the Roman fray I go.
This morning I am closing up the house, closing up the bag, and closing up my all too brief sojourn at The Sabine Farm. I leave with a heavy heart, in many ways, since this place is such a peaceful refuge.
Back into the Roman fray I go.
It's hard not to expect to find the Budweiser Beer Wagon somewhere in the photo.
God speed, Father. I pray that you have a safe journey.
Paene insularum, Sirmio, insularumque
ocelle, quascumque in liquentibus stagnis
marique vasto fert uterque Neptunus,
quam te libenter quamque laetus inviso,
vix mi ipse credens Thyniam atque Bithynos
liquisse campos et videre te in tuto!
o quid solutis est beatius curis,
cum mens onus reponit, ac peregrino
labore fessi venimus larem ad nostrum
desideratoque adquiescimus lecto?
hoc est quod unum est pro laboribus tantis.
salve, o venusta Sirmio, atque ero gaude;
gaudete vosque, o Lydiae lacus undae;
ridete, quidquid est domi cachinnorum.
I know 'tis the wrong time for the sentiment, but I was reminded of this little ode of homecoming. May your travels be safe, and may you keep a bit of such respite with you amid the craziness that is Roma.
Safe travels Padre….
Have a safe trip back to Rome father.
"Laughter and sadness link us with things long past away and remembered without dishonour; and we can see not altogether without tenderness the twilight sinking around the Sabine farm and hear the household gods rejoice when Catullus comes home to Sirmio. Deleta est Carthago."
(G. K. Chesterton, "The Everlasting Man," Part I, Ch. 7: "The War of the Gods and Demons")
Deus caeli det tibi bonum iter et pacem.
Thanks for the greetings from everyone.

You will never hear anything bad coming from me pertaining to gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgender people, transsexuals, or any other kind of person because I find that those people are the best people, and by far the nicest. However, I don't like boy-on-boy or girl-on-girl fics or shows merely because I am insanely jealous and not a homophobe. As long as everyone understands that, I am happy. Don't like it, keep it to yourself or else I'll run off crying T.T

Thanks for helping!
Big flavors - the sopes were really, really good. The tacos, too. Will have to go back to try the other things on the menu.
The steak tacos were great. Not a fancy place, service was good. Food was very good. Much better than any chain Mexican, and you get a lot of food for a good price.
This unassuming little taco joint is well worth the visit! The food is very authentic, much like you would find on the Texas border. We love the tacos al pastor, carne asada, and carnitas. If they have empanadas available make you to get one to finish off your meal!
If you knew a place like this existed- you could never in good conscious eat Taco Bell or Chipotle tacos (and I love Chipotle) again! There is no comparison. Fresh, hot, and reasonably priced. The hot sauce is TRULY hot so beware if you are a lightweight, but it's awesome. I had the spicy pork, sauced beef, and chicken tacos....
This was a breath of fresh air compared to all the "chain" Mexican restaurants in the area. Of coarse not as good as California/Texas or grandma's Mexican food, but still above the rest in this area. Short menu makes it easy to order, enjoy some favorites like tacos, I recommend Al Pastor, the pozole, carne asada, and sopes. Would definitely...
When someone met me and knew that I am from Mexico he exclaimed "You have to go to El Costalilla"... A little far but worth every minute and drop of gasoline El Costalilla is an authentic little restaurant. It is owned by a mexican man who serves great steak tacos, fantastic ceviche tostadas and the best Tacos al Pastor ever!...

Court Issues Ruling on Debit Card "Swipe Fees"
August 7, 2013
On July 31 the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that the Federal Reserve (Fed) set interchange fees for debit card transactions higher than intended in the authorizing legislation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank). These fees have been come to be known as "swipe fees." Fed staff had initially recommended a 12-cent fee but issued regulations in 2011 stating that the fee could not exceed 21 cents.
The court found that the Fed "clearly disregarded Congress' statutory intent by inappropriately inflating all debit card transaction fees by billions of dollars." Before Dodd-Frank, swipe fees for debit cards were 1.2 percent of the transaction amount. The ruling affects only debit card transactions because credit cards and preloaded cards issued by banks with assets less than $10 billion are exempt from the interchange fee rules.
For most retailers, including campus stores, debit card fees represent the single largest operating expense behind payroll, argued NACS (The Association for Convenience and Fuel Retailing, formerly the National Association of Convenience Stores), one of the plaintiffs. Retailers typically have increased the prices of goods to offset the high interchange fee, especially for low-priced items. With lower swipe fees, institutions and campus stores could pass savings along to students.
The Fed will need to convene a new rulemaking process before it can lower the cap on fees. Until then, the existing rules remain in effect.
More information about timing and direction will be available after a status conference with the Court, which is tentatively scheduled for August 14. It should be known by September whether the Fed will appeal the decision.

CARLSBAD, Calif., Aug. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Isis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISIS) announced today the publication of two papers in the journal Cell demonstrating that single-stranded short interfering RNA (ss-siRNA) molecules distributed broadly, activated the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway and reduced expression of targeted genes in animal models. The RNAi pathway is a mechanism that can be used to inhibit expression of genes. The RNAi pathway has typically been engaged by short double-stranded RNAs (dsRNA). Once engaged, the RNAi mechanism removes the 'sense' strand of the dsRNA leaving a functional 'antisense' single-stranded RNA to bind to the target mRNA and cause degradation. In these studies, Isis scientists and collaborators demonstrated that ss-siRNA molecules can effectively trigger the RNAi pathway and selectively inhibit the expression of a targeted gene.
In the published study titled 'Single-stranded siRNAs activate RNAi in animals', Isis scientists evaluated the absorption, distribution, metabolism and activity of the ss-siRNAs designed to utilize the RNAi pathway. These data show that single-stranded RNA-like antisense oligonucleotides are broadly distributed to and active in multiple organs and effectively engage and trigger the RNAi pathway without the need for complex formulations or delivery vehicles typically necessary for double-stranded RNAi molecules.
"Double-stranded siRNA drugs require complex formulations to achieve sufficient delivery for systemic activity. This requirement has severely limited the development of safe and effective drugs that work through the RNAi pathway. In contrast, single-stranded RNA-like antisense drugs can be administered subcutaneously and distribute to tissues without the need for formulations. In addition, approaching RNAi with singl

Obama at United Nations: We Must Stamp Out 'Apocalyptic Cult' ISIS
President Barack Obama warned that "dangerous currents" threaten to create a "darker world" in a wide-ranging address to the United Nations General Assembly on Monday.
Obama slammed Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad as a "tyrant" and urged the international community to work together to defeat ISIS.
"There is no room for accommodating an apocalyptic cult like ISIL," the president said, using an alternative name for the terrorist group.
Never mind the fact that opposing both Assad and ISIS is contradictory.
Never mind the fact that Obama used the "alternative name" for ISIS in order to cover up what he's trying to do in Syria. ISIS means Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, and ISIL means Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. By using the acronym for ISIS that does not allude to Syria, Obama is trying to make us forget that he's trying to make all of Syria safe for ISIS by overthrowing Assad, and that the parts of Syria they already dominate, they were able to do that because we, the Saudis and the Israelis have weakened Assad.
But it's this part about "apocalyptic cult" that interests me.
ISIS is not an "apocalyptic cult," as such. They are fundamentalist Muslims who want to live under and enforce fundamentalist Islam. I am not aware that fundamentalist Islam is any more or less apocalyptic than, for example, reading the book of Revelation literally.
However, it may be good news that Obama is calling ISIS an apocalyptic cult. If we are officially going to start reading ISIS as an apocalyptic cult, we have to remember how the Federal government treats our own domestic apocalyptic cults. Need I say Waco in 1993? This means that the Feds will soon send in the FBI-ATF to burn down ISIS installations and fighters and their children with fires started by otherwise prohibited chemical weapons, all on a rumor about ISIS leaders engaging in pedophilia and child abuse.
