The federal government has mailed out a number of rejection letters for Qalipu Mi'kmaq First Nation membership, and it is asking other applicants for more proof.
These letters have a watchdog group in Newfoundland and Labrador questioning the entire process.
When the application process began in 2008, aboriginal leaders expected about 10,000 people to apply for band membership. However, when the application process ended in November 2012, roughly 103,000 applications were sent in.
Hector Pearce is a spokesperson for the Mi'kmaq First Nations Assembly of Newfoundland, formerly known as Qalipu Watchdogs. He said the rejection letters are asking applicants for more information that would demonstrate their connection to the Qalipu Mi'kmaq band.
Pearce said while he can prove his bloodlines, he doesn't have anything to show for the powwows and other activities he's attended.
"You don't get involved with these activities, say, with your culture, so you can prove something. You get involved because you're interested, it's a significant part of you," said Pearce.
Some receiving flat-out rejections
Pearce said there has been another letter mailed out — this one a flat-out rejection ending that person's application, with no chance to appeal.
Two of Pearce's grandsons received rejections, and were each told they didn't attach a long form birth certificate.
"I'm not sure, I'm 100 per cent positive we did, because these birth certificates are in my files."
Brendan Sheppard, chief of the Qalipu Mi'maq First Nation, is unsympathetic.
"The criteria is there, and people just have to meet that criteria, and if they don't, obviously it's going to get rejected," Sheppard said.
Meanwhile, Pearce said he's had hundreds of phone calls from other applicants in the same situation, adding legal action is inevitable.
His group is meeting on Thursday night to figure out the best way to fight.

159. Pardon the monologue, but
last Saturday my 90-year-old grandfather made a cameo at my family's Thanksgiving dinner (Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving? Nah). My grandfather grew up in the Bronx and has worked (as he still works) in the shipping department of Apex Mills of the last 105 years. I don't see my grandfather all that often, and frankly I don't know all that much about my grandfather, so when he's around I make an effort to expunge some wisdom from him. This time, he brought with him a photo album his brother Barry assembled. The album was a collection of photos dating back to the mid-1800s. On that side of the tree, my family hales from Romania and Russia, coming to American in the late 19th century. One of the photos in the album is a family photo, the patriarch being my grandfather's grandfather. Unfortunately, the spelling of his name completely eludes me. I know it's very Jewish and very Russian and begins with an A., so I'll call him A for the purpose of this story. In the picture, A has a long dark beard, craggy complexion and one eye that is mostly cornea, with the exception of a smudge of pupil hugging the bridge of his nose. I'll spare you the details on his wife. As my grandfather flips past the picture, he mentions that A was a founding member and former president of the Eldridge Street Synagogue. A friend of mine also came to dinner that night. She showed up late and she ended up with a seat next to my grandfather. My friend, like me, is a guilty fair weather Jew and I thought she would enjoy my grandfather's documentation of Jewish culture in old-ish world New York. He took her through the album (in painful detail), but when he came to the A family picture, he passed by it without much of a shoutout. I was surprised; I thought A's role in the history of Eldridge Street was a highlight, so I chimed in. This is the conversation between my grandfather and I:
M: Boompa, you forgot something!
G: I did?
M: Yes! Tell Jess what A is famous for.
G: For being a good-for-nothing asshole?
M: No, I'm serious. Tell her abut his big accomplishment.
G: Oh. He had 14 children.
M: Not what I was thinking.
G: with 5 different women.
And that is why I love New York.
-Katie Schmidt
160. I love New York because of the awesome communication going on everywhere you look. And by that I mean the non-verbal communication we exchange
Damn, you're hot, Fuck off, I want those shoes, What the fuck is that smell? Are you really standing that close to me? Thank you, I needed that, I'm going to cut you
etc. I could write a book.
-Jenna Martinez
161. I love New York because you never know what is coming next.

Re: Working FT & morning sickness
With this one I had twin toddlers at home, taught 16 units and kept this baby a secret at work until 20 weeks. All that time I was throwing up 3 times a day average with MS all day. Here is how I survived,
- eat constantly little bites, even if you feel like throwing up. It is REALLY hard to swallow when you feel like things will come up the other direction but you just have to do it. Mind over body. Do-not-over eat!!!
- I took vit. b6 and unisom every night (MW recommended it)
- Motion sickness bands hidden under long sleeves at work. Hold the ball down even more if you feel like you are going to puke.
- Vomit bags in my work bag and car just in case, gave me great peace of mind.
- Sleep in when you can, sometimes my hubby would take our twins in the morning and let me sleep in until 8 or 9, this made a world of a difference.
- Wear comfortable clothes and fabrics that breath, that cold sweat that happens right before you throw up is worse in synthetic fabrics.
- Eat tons of protein, it helps a lot. Eggs helped me the most since I could hide them in other foods like French Toast.
- Some moms use preggie pops but I preferred gummy bears, I would eat two or three if I felt like I was going to loose it at a bad time.
I hope it gets better mama, you can do it!

Re: Working FT & morning sickness
I haven't read all of the replies, so I apologize if I duplicate answers. I am 34 weeks pregnant and threw up at least 6-8 times a day until 26 weeks. I worked through it, which really surprised me. Normally throwing up freaks me out and has me out of it for a few days. I took zofran for a few times before I actually started to throw up, but once I started throwing up, I didn't really find it worked well. At about 14 weeks I started pepcid, and it made a little differerence, but not much. I liked preggo pops and always had them around. Each week was different what I wanted to eat, but I always made sure to eat a protein and carbs at the same time. I liked mcdonalds breakfast burritos for a good long while and had one every morning on the way to work. I carried a big cup with me everywhere and threw up in them. I know it sounds terrible, but I didn't want to get up while in the middle of it, and it felt better just to be still and throw up. Then I'd go to the bathroom and clean out the cup. Luckily, I usually did the majority of my throwing up in the morning before work, but I then usually threw up 2-3 times at a random time throughout the day. I honestly thought at 17 weeks that I was going to die and couldn't deal with it anymore. I would cry everytime I knew I was about to throw up. I just pushed through and eventually it ended. At some times, I thought I was going to throw up for the rest of my life. My head started to mess with me. It sucks. What's funny is that this is my third pregnancy, and I didn't throw up once in either of the other two. Good luck. Hopefully yours is short lived. Get a good support system, it helps alot!

Rev Dan Eddings - Appointed District Superintendent
It has been annouced that Rev Dan Eddings has been appointed as the new District Superintendent for our district. He will officially begin 1 August 2017. Below is his letter to our District.
4 Jun 2017
Dear Pittsburgh District Family:
I am excited to announce to you today that I have accepted the appointment of the Board of General Superintendents, in consultation with your District Advisory Council, to become your new District Superintendent. This appointment came as a complete surprise to me, but not to the Lord. My first reaction was one of shock, humility and even a measure of fear as well. I had never really given any thought to being anything else but a "Pastor" in the local church. That call of God was humbling enough, but the thought of being a District Superintendent was, to say the least, overwhelming. As I shared this possibility with my wife Deb and we began to pray and consider the possibility, my heart began to move from a sense of shock to excitement. The more we prayed, the more God seemed to stir my heart. I requested a meeting with the District Advisory Council to allow me the opportunity to hear their heartbeat for the Pittsburgh District and better understand what it was they thought your district needed in a new leader. After meeting with them for a couple of hours, listening to their love for the district and what it was they thought the district needed, I was certain this was of God!
Now, does that mean that I think I have everything I need to be a District Superintendent? By no means! But I do believe that God has been preparing me, my wife, my family and each of you for this time. Knowing that this is God's will has also reminded me that when God calls, He also promises to equip and give everything needed to complete that call. There is much for me to learn in the days ahead. But I am excited and looking forward to getting to know each of you and working together with you, to see God's Kingdom continue to grow. I am confident that as we seek the Lord, unite together for His purposes and trust Him in every step, great days are ahead.
Because of some district responsibilities that Deb and I have here on the Upstate District, we want to be faithful to complete our commitments. Deb coordinates Family Camp for the Upstate District and is also the director of our NYI Camp 789. I am also ending a ministry to this local church and community that has spanned over 13 years. We have a home to sell and our youngest son to get ready to head to Eastern Nazarene College. Therefore, in order to support Deb in her obligations, and to close out the local ministry, I will not be officially starting until 1 August 2017. However, I will be present for District Assembly, and Deb and I will be down for a day or two of Family Camp so that we might begin to get to know each of you and begin to develop the bonds we will need to have to work together in the days ahead. We are excited to get to know each of you and allow you to get to know us as well.
Please know that you are very much in our thoughts and prayers and we look forward to being with you soon.
Dan Eddings

Damn! She's fine as f@ck!
Meet Rockell
Featuring: Rockell
Date: September 10th, 2012
Photos: 82
SCORE doesn't get many models from Alabama. Why this is so is unknown. If we knew someone to complain to, we would draft the letter now. Alabama's most famous export as far as we are concerned was Autumn-Jade. And that was 14 years. Now comes gorgeous and angelic blonde charmer Rockell. "Southern girls rule!" says Rockell. She says that because of modeling, she's had the best adventures and met the coolest people. She has been modeling for about two years and started off when a photographer saw her pictures on a social site. Rockell likes to stay in shape with Zumba (and is doing a great job, at that), go shopping ("Sometimes I just buy my bras off the rack but I'm sure my big boobs need to be fitted."), travel to new places and play video games.

Bag Trips Explosives Alarm at Airport
Published 7:00 pm, Wednesday, January 8, 2003
Three terminals at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport were evacuated Thursday after alarms sounded to indicate a bag may have contained explosive material, officials said.
"The machine found something," Transportation Security Administration spokesman Ed Martelle said Thursday night. "The problem is we don't know what and we don't know how much."
Neither the bag nor the man who carried it has been found.
"It begins to look less and less like someone was trying to avoid something," Martelle said after a review of the events.
Initial accounts that the man grabbed the bag and left were revised Thursday night after TSA officials re-examined screener comments.
Martelle said a screener was concerned about something that looked like power transformers or stereo speakers in the bag. The bag was screened a second time and was OK'd. Martelle said the screener handed the man the bag and he left, but the alarm then went off.
Martelle said the machine was checked and was performing accurately.
Martelle said he did not know what type of explosive material was detected.
Federal regulations that went into effect Jan. 1 require that all checked bags be screened for explosives by an X-ray machine or manually checked by a TSA screener. Carryon bags remain subject to the X-rays and random gate searches for explosives and other forbidden materials.
Thousands of passengers were rescreened. The breech delayed at least 400 flights, but operations returned to normal early Thursday night.
DFW is the third-busiest airport in the country. It had 777,386 takeoffs and landings in 2002.

Spreading "The Grassroots Stimulus Story"
Spreading "The Grassroots Stimulus Story"
By Grace Lee Boggs
Michigan Citizen, Mar. 29, 2009
This week I am sharing "The Grassroots Stimulus Story," an article by Susan C. Strong, Executor Director of The Metaphor Project, which helps individuals and groups find the language that evokes the best American values.
As Marshall McLuhan said four decades ago, "The medium is the message."
Or, as Confucius put it approximately 3000 years ago, "If language is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant; if what is said is not what is meant, then what must be done remains undone; if this remains undone, morals and art will deteriorate; if justice goes astray, the people will stand about in helpless confusion."
In the media these days there is a lot of talk about the administration's multi-billion dollar "Stimulus" but little or nothing about what millions of Americans are doing at the local level to live more simply and cooperatively. For example, planting community gardens, walking and biking instead of driving, exchanging skills and services with our neighbors, moving our money from big banks to credit unions, even creating local currencies with local merchants.
Most of these things are being done out of necessity, in order to survive in these hard times. But in the process we are also discovering the power within us to create a new economy that is an alternative to capitalism, based not on money and greed but on caring for one another, at the same time moving our planet in a more hopeful direction.
We not only need to share and spread the stories of these grassroots activities but become part of the movement to build communities and cities of hope. That is the best and maybe only way to keep alive the history-making "Together We Can" spirit of Obama's presidential campaign.
"As the wheels of D.C. slowly crank out top-down, compromise solutions for our problems, out in the grassroots some people are taking matters into their own hands. When Republicans decide to make life more miserable for the hardest hit Americans, who dares rely on D.C. alone? Some communities are getting more interested in urban gardening, local cooperatives, or trading and bartering events. Others are banding together to assist those who have been foreclosed out of their homes. Add to this the city and county greening projects already going on, far below the national radar, and you have a burgeoning unreported national trend. And these are just a few of the many bottom-up citizen initiatives possible.
"It's high time the media, online and off, and our government took notice. This could be the biggest recovery story of all. Reporting what's happening now as a national trend will also help it gather speed. And speed is what we need. Although Washington means to use the economic crisis to jump start a green recovery, we'll need a lot more than top-down efforts to succeed.
"Fostering bottom-up grassroots solutions is also sound science. Modern ecosystem research shows that collapse can lead to a much healthier order of things, starting close to the ground. Reporting in the latest World Watch magazine (March/April 2009), Thomas Homer-Dixon notes that collapse in nature 'liberates. . .enormous potential for creativity and allows for novel and unpredictable recombination.' The emerging pattern is 'far less interconnected and rigid. . .and far more resilient to sudden shock. 'It encourages 'new behaviors and relationships.'
"History shows that human societies follow the same pattern. Our propensity to experiment and invent has always been the key to our survival. But we must actively foster that kind of reorganizing now—before a deeper collapse wipes out what we'll need to shape a new way of living. We know there are much bigger crises ahead—the end of reasonably priced oil, major global warming ravages, and the onset of serious resource overshoot. Maybe if we get going with a vigorous grassroots transformation now, we'll be able to ride those storms out too.
"At this point though, the most important thing is the story: collapse can lead to rebirth in more resilient form. Including the grassroots piece of the story is vital. That bottom-up path calls on some of our best national traits too—our innovative, pragmatic, can-do, roll-up-your sleeves style, as we work together, close to home, helping to reinvent a new and healthier economy."

``Jamie Dimon, the chairman and chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase (JPM), announced on Tuesday night that he has been diagnosed with throat cancer. "The good news is that the prognosis from my doctors is excellent, the cancer was caught quickly, and my condition is curable," the 58-year-old Dimon said in a statement. "Importantly, there is no evidence of cancer elsewhere in my body." Dimon said he would likely begin an eight-week course of radiation and chemotherapy treatments at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital.''

Have you made a commitment to Christ?
Have you been considering baptism but not sure what it means? If you would like more information on baptism or would like to participate in the next service, the baptism class is the next step! It's a great opportunity to ask questions, learn more about the history of baptism and what it means personally to take this step. Everyone is welcome to attend the class, even if you just want information about baptism. We only ask that you please let us know.
Why Should I Be Baptized?
- Believe and baptize are very closely linked. (Acts 2:40-41; 8:36-40; 10:48; 16:15; 16:33).
- Jesus showed by example that we are to be baptized by being baptized himself (Matthew 3:13-17).
- Baptism is understood to fulfill, in part, the command of Jesus to confess him before humanity (Matthew 10:32).
- Baptism not only signifies resurrection to a new life in Christ, but it is also a public commitment to walk in Christ's way. Baptism means we now belong to Christ.
Who Should Be Baptized?
- All those who accept Christ as their personal Saviour and Lord should be baptized.
At Northview Community Church we wait until our children are old enough to believe and understand the true meaning of baptism before we baptize them.
For those seeking membership with Northview it is a requirement to be baptized as a believer, even if baptized as an infant.

Mr Steven Mulyagonja, an accountant in the office of the Inspector General of Government (IGG), has been suspended over fraud-related charges.
Mr Mulyangonja is accused of creating ghost workers and drawing salaries from the government payroll. Apparently, the scheme was exposed after payroll reforms recently rolled out by Secretary to the Treasury Keith Muhakanizi, who directed that payroll issues be decentralised for easy tracking.
Mr Muhakanizi's directive came after incessant complaints by civil servants of missing salaries and payment of ghost employees. IGG spokesperson Ali Munira said: "He was suspended to pave way for internal investigations."
Sources say, Mr Mulyagonja, who has worked with the IGG for more than 10 years, had allegedly engaged in tinkering with the payments for a long time.
The Daily Monitor could not establish whether Mr Mulyagonja had any blood relationship with the IGG, Justice Irene Mulyagonja. "I think he is not a relative," said Ms Munira. Other accounts suggested they were related. Justice Mulyagonja is relatively new in the office.
Justice Mulyagonja is said to be furious with Mr Mulyagonja over his alleged financial misappropriation. Apparently, preliminary findings show that out of the alleged fraud, the IGG could have lost up to Shs800m.
Our sources say Mr Mulyagonja's alleged fraud was discovered after he reportedly posted money into staff accounts and later asked them to refund it in cash to him.
The money would reportedly be posted as salary advances. Unfortunately some of the staff who received money in their accounts had not requested for any salary advances.
Ms Munira was noncommittal on the nature of offence committed by Mr Mulyagonja. "There are no ghosts involved. It has to do with some financial payments internally," she said.

We are based on the north bank of the River Conwy in the Village of Deganwy. We have an active COD (Conway One Design) racing fleet, which races weekly between the months of May and October.Our cruiser fleet also races regularly during the summer months.We have a very active social programme centred around our club house in Deganwy Village. Have a look at the social pages for a list of events. Feel free to drop into the clubhouse one evening if you are in the area.
Our Club House Opening hours are Monday to Saturday, 5.30 to 11 pm Except Friday when we open at 4.30 pm, and Wednesdays and Sundays when we are closed.
For general enquiries, email email@example.com or you can call the club house on 01492 583690
Conway One Designs - What Are They ?
Project 100
Conway Yacht Club is launching PROJECT 100 to celebrate its centenary in 2011 by aiming to get all 16 boats to the start line for the club regatta that year. Great effort will be needed to achieve this and to establish a mechanism for future care of this part of our local maritime history. The Project 100 scheme is seeking local support from enthusiasts, potential sponsors, and anyone interested in sailing the boats. Plans are at an early stage but please fill in the book of support to be kept up to date on progress.
Why Now
One Design racing is fun and competitive with none of the complications of handicapping (adjusting race times for boats of varying ability sailing together). COD's have been sailing this way in the Conwy Estuary since 1928 and have always been a colourful part of the local scene.2011 sees the centenary of The Conway Yacht Club which despite its name is based in a fully equipped club house in Deganwy village. Project 100 is just one of a number of initiatives planned to commemorate 100 years of racing.
The aim is to get all COD's ever built, up to full sailing condition and on the start line for the CYC's regatta in the Menai Strait in the summer of 2011.Currently four of the sixteen boats are at risk. At risk implies that without urgent attention they could be lost from the fleet and from the areas maritime heritage within the next year or two. Two are in the custody of CYC and two are in private ownership. In other areas, notably the South coast of the UK there are thriving fleets of traditional One Design boats that are either privately or club owned. They may be rented out to club members, used by local training associations like the Sea Scouts, or be used for corporate days out. CYC will be pursuing all these and other options in an effort to retain the integrity of the fleet and widen its appeal to young and old, sailor and non sailor.
Several of the at risk boats need total keel up restorations. The skills needed to carry out this work are rare, but the club is fortunate in that a recent full restoration of Seriol has shown what is possible with skill and a lot of hard work. Commercial rebuilding is probably out of the question due to costs, so the CYC intends to establish a re-building programme of its own using its in house skills to supervise the rebuilding. Funding for materials and some specialist work will be required and all avenues are being pursued here from public and private funding to corporate and individual sponsorship and donations of materials. In addition a new base for the rebuilding will have to be found with enough space for rebuilding and perhaps storage for those boats awaiting work. Perhaps this could be opened to the public.
The main cost will be time, but CYC hopes that individuals or groups will want to become involved in working on and then sailing one of these unique vessels. Skills can be learnt with the satisfaction that a part of the local heritage is being preserved for future generations, and with any luck some exciting sailing might be had as a result!

Ford E350 SD won't crank only after refueling?
I have a 2010 Ford E350 SD XLT, the Flex Fuel engine. Only have ever used unleaded in it. I keep having a no start issue, but only after fueling ( and I have never "kept adding" fuel after the first click when fueling). Cranks but won't turn over, wait a few minutes, then usually struggles but starts and I can drive away as normal. Also, when I get the no start, I get a oil light icon on my dash in green that isnt part of my normal start up icons, but there is plenty of oil, no leaks or burning we can detect, and the oil gauge once started is fine and the green light clears. No OBD codes or check engine light. Also intermittent rough idle issue when fan kicks on, only in idle, drops rpms, then "jumps" and over compensates until settling back down to normal idle speeds. I think this is related as a fuel issue, not electrical.
12 Answers
Hard starting after a short hot soak, long crank time required for starting. Struggles to run at first when it finally starts. This happens after fuelling. 2010 E350 SD xlt. flex fuel Vehicle always fueled since new with unleaded. During hard start, green warning light for oil. clears after start. Oil level is safe, and pressure indicator shows good. No OBD code set. Rolling idle speed "when fan kicks on idle drops, When fan kicks off, idle rises." This translated version of the info can be called in to your dealer with your VIN number. The service advisor for Ford can make use of your vin to tell you about updates, parts or procedures that may apply. He/she can also discuss where you are with your last major service and current mileage. There may be a Idle quality issue known to them that has a bulletin instructing them what to repair or replace. This is your best course of action because of the Year make, model etc.
If you want to address a replacement of idle air control parts and throttle body clean, and tune up parts, you may want to obtain your own motorcraft replacement parts for best results and install them, but I recommend you let them diagnose it, research it,Inspect and test the parts that come into question, and report their findings first.
Thank you for your suggestions. We have taken it to ford 4 times so far for the rough idle issue us a few o2 codes that kept triggering. So far we have done a fuel service, replaced a few sensors, replaced a valve, cleaned the throttle body manually, and reprogrammed the computer for a known issue with o2 codes. The problem persisted and is getting worseand now the van won't start after refueling. Ford answer was to allow them an open ended diagnostics at almost $100 an hour, which is why I posted here. They have no idea and we can't afford to throw more money (we are in over $1000 already!) At it without having some idea of where to start. Another mechanic said maybe it's a vapor lock or a problem with the purge canister or fuel pressure sensor (but again, was hoping someone had a similar issue before so we aren't just throwing more money at it!)
You could ask their service manager to drive it as you do, Then stop for fuel. He could bring the test equipment so when the concern is actually happenning, he could verify it and write down the fuel pressure and volume readings. If the fuel return pipe in the tank is too close to the uptake screen, it can be supplying fuel vapor instead of just being immersed in the gasoline. Ford has issues that occur, then reccur after a few years because of Production methods by the carter fuel pump company, or what the tank factory does with the pump and tank. These kind of concerns can be seen on some models, and then others, and then the first one again as time passes, and the suppliers methods revert. Verifying loss of pressure while it is having the symptom. That is enough to direct the testing to the regulator, the return line, the pump, and then having the vapor in the injector fuel rail instead of liquid gasoline. Then the engine gets cranked, the injectors cycle, the vapor purges, and the fresh gas comes with just enough pressure. It takes serious dedication to stay with it while it acts up and tests get indicated, and then run. Costs rise, they look for people who work cheaper, just like any business. As a consumer, you must keep relating the symptom and how to make it act up to get satisfaction. Keep appealing to a higher court within the Ford organization. They have the knowledge and the power. You just want to get the right person's attention.
My information is experience, not verified facts about this particular vehicle, fuel pump, or regulator. My language is streamlined about your concerns to help you communicate with Ford, in theirs. Try using what I suggest. The way I communicated it, without telling them what to do, but inquire, and show them your data and expenditures so far. You can settle the bill at the end of the rainbow, but for a while, You have to believe they can get to the test that defines what it loses at fuel-up. After they experience the concern, you will have won them over. If not, give them this data from the webpage to refer to as suggestions to clear up the possible confusion. Write them a sheet to attach to the repair order. Ask them to attach it. Ask them to introduce you to the manager or director of the service department. Ask what else you can do, Or what Ford agency in your area may be more well versed with this model in your area. Sometimes a truck dealer service area has more for you than a car and light truck dealer perhaps. Ask for Ford phone numbers to call so you can get them the engineering attention they may need from the Ford Hotline.
If you have anything on the front of the truck that could block airflow, I recommend removing it till you have this concern erraticated. I have seen bug shields and tire carriers and bumpers and other accessories that are not Ford approved, cause an increase in engine compartment heat and reduce available air to the fresh airstream of the air cleaner. I have also seen add on equipment interfere with fuel lines and electrical systems. It could be valuable and save time to make a list of all add ons and eliminate them as possible contributing causes to increasing heat present in the engine bay. Dont give up !
The fuel cap holds pressure, yes? And that accompanied by engine heat soak is the 2 things that are in play. The ability of the fuel pump to make enough constant fuel pressure to fill and pressurize overcoming the vapor that may be being offered to it by the return is what I question. Then the return's dump out proximity to the pick-up screen, like a taurus, they were too close together. The pressure could fall to 12 pounds. The engine would finally start and run poorly till it purged the injectors. You could have a helper bleed the fuel rail while conditions were right and if bleeding it resulted in vapor or bubbling fuel ejected, then the engine crank time was reduced, you know what to tell them.
Since I have not had to remove a pump exactly like yours, I can merely speculate. There is also a reason to inspect the existing pickup screen. It can be partially stopped up by fuel debris kindly sold to you by the gas station. The possibility of metallic dust created by the environment the tank was manufactured in had been a factor in the distant past. This wears away at the pumps internal parts. Reduces its ability to produce as much as it used to. When they changed designs to a new type, I saw troubles like that for the trucks. We drove them with the fuel pressure gauge installed and watched the pressure during the road test. Since the gauge had a dump circuit, you could bleed the circuit and look for evaporation in the discharge.
The V8 engines of many makes had a crossing passage between the heads. If one of these had burn through, The resulting heat could try to cook the fuel in the (obsolete) carburetor. But the engine coolant temp would stay low enough not to overheat the engine. If the fuel rail is right above that, it may need some kind of way to insulate it from that radiant source or conductive reaction. They dont pay me enough to redesign it for them because I'm not qualified. Anyways, hope you find more after reading my imaginationings.
NHTSA cites sulfur content in fuel for reduced fuel pressure in GM cars. The idea being that it wears away at the clearances in the fuel pump's internal parts. Their pumps have been failing at 30K on some models and their pickup screens have been discussed in bulletins for filtering down to too fine a micron. It has lead to them redesigning with a complete fuel "module" which means the consumer has a choice, Buy a filter every 15K or buy a new complete tank,pump,lines. when it starts to have issues. Because their pumps have to draw so much power to push the dirt, they damage themselves trying.
Hello, just checking to see if you ever had the issues fixed on the 2010 Ford E350 XLT? I have the exact same problems and they are only getting worse? Thanks
Mines a 2011 E-350 XL, same exact problem. Waiting to see what the result of this issue is. Not sure where to start. Yesterday my engine died twice at two different traffic lights. It started right up like there was no problem at all.

While Pheonix Wright spends a well-earned vacation, the Ace Attorney series knows no pause and jumps more than 100 years in the past. This time, you will bring justice in Meiji era Japan and Victorian Britain.
Whereas Ace Attorney Dual Destines symbolized the twilight of the judiciary system, Great Ace Attorney describes its early days. Indeed in the early Meiji era, the job of lawyer itself just had been created and there's much to do to ensure fair trials. In this context, Asôgi Kazuma is sent to learn as much as possible about modern law in the most advanced country in the field : Great Britain. That's the first problem of this new episode : Naruhodo Ryunosuke, the main character, is not a lawyer and doesn't even wish to become one before being forced by the circumstances. So from the very start, he looks rather shallow compared to our usual hero in blue suit.
The transition is very awkward and weights on the narrative in a whole, which ends up uneven. The first trial taking place in the Japanese capital is very exciting, with a number of crazy plot twists and an historical context amazingly illustrated. The Westernization of Japan is described here like it is in Natsume Sôseki's I am a Cat. It is pretty fun to witness the cultural and economic differences between Japan and the West at that time, as it triggers a lot of hilarious anecdotes. In brief, everything from the costumes to the politics is brilliant of authenticity and history-lovers should love it. Follows a second chapter rather dull, without any trial, and its conclusion is so stupid that the player is left with mixed feelings.
The (very large) part taking place in the UK immediately revives the interest. Once again, the general design is absolutely fantastic. First of all, the mischievous Sherlock Holmes takes the scene in a very surprising manner, but efficient nonetheless. Every chapter of Great Ace Attorney is introduced like a Sherlock Holmes novel, the second one being no less than an extremely clever parody of The Speckled Band! The great detective is like you'd imagine, very confident in himself and a bit mocking, but there's a small difference : his conclusion are all far-fetched! This brings us to one of the new feaures. When investigating a location, Sherlock Holmes will make some unrealistic hypothesis : it will be up to you to "correct" it and find out the truth by pointing out the right detail. That said, there are not a lot of those phases, nor are they very complex. In spite of this, Great Ace Attorney full of delicious easter eggs for the readers of Arthur Conan Doyle's series.
It's still a pleasure to wander in past London, where we appreciate once more the genius character design that made the series famous. The secondary characters have been designed in great detail : from the old officer of the British army proud of its service to Scotland Yard, the various situations and conversations of this episode are as good as ever. Cherry on cake, one of your client will be Natsume Sôseki himself! The famous Japanese novelist is totally eccentric, speaking time to time in yojijukugo, those idioms in four kanjis. All that is greatly enhanced by the soundtrack, which contains delightful melodies in investigation, and exhilarating themes in the key moments. Confess the Truth 2015 in particular is sumptuous composing, ideal for the turning points of the trials. On the other, I lament the fact that some characters haven't been shown in more depth : Susato ends up being a rather classic sidekick without any big role (although Athena had her own chapter in Ace Attorney Dual Destinies) and prosecutor Barok Von Zieks never appears outside the courtroom. That's the first time the main antagonist haven't got a proper background, quite a shame…
The trials of Great Ace Attorney don't differ much from the traditional gameplay of the series, that is to say showing the right piece of evidence at the right moment. Even though the game rises the challenge a bit by avoiding unnecessary hints like Ace Attorney Dual Destinies had, the evidence list is often not that big and the cases didn't feel as complex or surprising as in the previous games. That still leaves the fun of solving cases without modern scientific investigations, with weird means like the music box or the botanic book. The game system introduces the jury in the decision process, but doesn't really change things much as it's heavily scripted. It's very much like the multi-witness system seen in Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney (which also comes back in this game) for you simply have to find the contradictions between the jury members.
The 3rd chapter is quite exciting as it's very tense, and delivers some deep thinking about the lawyer's role (a it like in the end of Justice for All) : should Naruhodo believe his client at all costs? Should he win by any means? His carrier or the truth? The stakes are high and our young jurist faces a tough choice, and so is the player. The 4th chapter is way less interesting (common crime, unsurprising solving) but fortunately the last one comes to a deeper and more emotional conclusion. The broader story appears more complex by adding a lot of political or technological elements connected to each other. Generally, this latest Ace Attorney comes further close to a visual novel rather than being a puzzle game.
The last issue with this game is that there are some mysteries left unexplained. The culprit of the first trial flees and you don't know anything about his motive. The question regarding The Hound of the Baskervilles doesn't find an answer. Worse, those two characters are shown 15 seconds to never be seen again in the narrative! Is that a sign of a chaotic development or of an upcoming sequel? I would wish for the latter. Another serious letdown : dubbing. Altough the trailers shown before the game came out were all fully voiced, everything has vanished in the final version! It's as mute as the other entries. When you think that even modest Vita visual novels include full dubbing, some complaining is in order. All the more annoying that Capcom also forbids us from taking screenshots via the Miiverse. Tight budget? Last minute hesitations? Great Ace Attorney looks unfinished…
Uneven, questionable on some parts, Great Ace Attorney is nonetheless fascinating in the fun provided by the characters, the beauty of its design and the outstanding historical rendering. A game definitely enjoyable and moving towards the end, even though the gameplay doesn't shine like in previous episodes.

I've got to disagree with you about Joe Johnson last night. I've been hard on him frequently this year (or at least I wonder if part of him doesn't take comfort in Woodson's unimaginative, Joe Johnson-centric offense) but I thought he played an excellent game last night.

With Boston guarding him tightly and with numbers, he still scored 21 points on just 11 shots with only one turnover. He only had two assists but that was due as much to his teammates' shooting as any poor passing on Joe's part.Bret LaGreehttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-20777211356406122012008-05-01T13:21:00.000-04:002008-05-01T13:21:00.000-04:00Why not? It's not like Boston has been some kind ...Why not? It's not like Boston has been some kind of contender outside of this year anyways so they might as well make every series got the full length. Every additional game played adds to the cumulative total dollar amount of profit for each team in the playoffs. Unfortunately I have not cared enough about the NBA for a long enough time that I don't remember the exact terms of how playoff ticket sales are distributed, but even if you throw that out, the merchandise and advertising sales alone become multiplicative with each game played.

To put it shortly, it just makes good business sense to extend every series to seven games if possible. Of course, doing that will also have the side effect of increasing the risk that your team doesn't make it out of the series and therefore negate the goal of said business plan. But that's a calculated risk one must take if wanting to maximize profits and the value of the franchise.

Although, even with this all being stated, none of it is in any form of control by anyone other than the players themselves, and they are definitely not interested in stretching out each series to seve games, so therefore I don't see that happening, at least not intentional mind you.

So, coming back down to the fan level... I hate Mike Woodson and his non-coaching @$$; Is there no one in that organization who has the fortitude to tell Josh Smith to stop being a freaking bonehead and stick to his role of making amazing blocks and dunks?; Where's our all-star JJ? I'm tired of mediocre no-name JJ showing up on the road; and finally, I think we can win this one at home but will lose the series. The season was a sucess in that we accomplished more than we did last year and more than what was expected even after making the playoffs.

Lincoln Seeks Bond to Repay 2009 Rescue as Costs May Fall: New Issue Alert
Lincoln National Corp., the insurer that took a U.S. bailout, plans to sell notes as Moody's Investors Service said it expects relative yields on corporate bonds to fall as corporate earnings grow and defaults decline.
Lincoln, which bought a lender in late 2008 to qualify for federal aid, will offer as much as $750 million in notes and $335 million of stock to repay its $950 million rescue, the Philadelphia-based company said yesterday in a statement distributed by PR Newswire.
Moody's expects spreads to narrow following the recent "European-inspired erosion of U.S. corporate credit worth" because companies are boosting profits and fewer high-yield, high-risk issuers will default this year, John Lonski, chief economist at Moody's Capital Markets Group in New York, wrote in a research report dated yesterday.
"A recovery by cash flow amid corporate borrowing restraint and ongoing monetary stimulus should narrow credit risk premia following a satisfactory resolution of sovereign debt issues," Lonski wrote in the report. The trailing 12-month high-yield default rate may decline to 2.7 percent by December 2010, from November 2009's peak of 14.5 percent and April 2010's 7.9 percent, the report said.
Chief financial officers in the U.S. said they expect earnings growth of 12.1 percent in the next 12 months, according to the Duke University/CFO Magazine Global Business Outlook Survey, the results of which were released June 9.

The CFOs' outlook suggests that the high-yield bond yields relative to Treasuries of similar maturity is at least 2 percentage points too high, Lonski wrote in yesterday's report, which said there is a "relatively strong historical correlation" between the survey results and high-yield spreads.
Sales in June of corporate bonds rated below Baa3 by Moody's and BBB- by Standard & Poor's are headed to fall short of the $6.8 billion of securities issued in May, the lowest since March 2009, according to Bloomberg data.
Potential issuers "are sitting around waiting to see when the next shoe is going to fall," said Christian Wagner, who helps oversee $150 million as chief investment officer of Longview Capital Management in Wilmington, Delaware.
"Many companies are choosing to wait to issue at lower prices," said Wagner, who said Longview has increased its holdings in corporate bonds and Treasuries by about 20 percent from last month, to 35 percent.
Moody's Cuts Greece
Relative yields have increased as European leaders face growing skepticism about their ability to contain the region's sovereign debt crisis. Moody's cut Greece's credit rating four steps and into junk status yesterday, from to Ba1 from A3. The country, which was already rated junk by S&P, last month agreed to a package of additional austerity measures to qualify for financial aid from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund.
Moody's said the "macroeconomic and implementation risks" for Greece associated with the EU-IMF support program "are substantial and more consistent with a Ba1 rating."
Lincoln and Hartford Financial Services Group Inc., the Connecticut-based carrier that repaid $3.4 billion in U.S. aid in March, won relief funds in 2009 after appealing to Treasury for the same support offered to banks during the 2008 financial crisis.

The extra yield investors demand to own investment-grade debt instead of Treasuries fell 2 basis points to 211 basis points yesterday, according to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch's U.S. Corporate Master index. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.
High-Yield Spreads
Spreads on high-yield debt fell 11 basis points to 716 basis points yesterday, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch's U.S. High Yield Master II index. That's 192 basis points from the year's low of 542 basis points on April 26.

No More Celebrity Stylists Means a Freer America
Oh that's cute. Because the economy is dumb these days, famous celebrities have gotten it into their bone-swaddled, pea-sized brains that they can dress themselves. This means no more work for scary skeleton stylist ladies like Rachel Zoe!
Yes, the New York Observer brings us word of the untrending. The economic downturn has caused TV and movie houses to slash their budgets, and personal stylists are one of the first things to go. So that could explain why It girl celebs like Gossip Girl's Blake Lively have been dressing themselves of late. They'll go to showrooms and fashion expos on their own and pick out what they like, enraging some of the bitchiest of the fashion bunch:
"She's the one that looked like a mess in that Nina Ricci dress at the Golden Globes!" sniped celebrity stylist Phillip Bloch [of Lively], who has worked with Halle Berry and Salma Hayek. "This is why you need a stylist. If you go to a designer, their goal is to get you out the door and on the red carpet in their gown come hell or high water. They're never going to say, 'This just might not be right for you.'"
Hey girl, hey. Bloch does have a point, albeit a useless one, though it doesn't address the other reason why celebrities might be ditching their highly-paid helper monkeys. As stylists like Zoe, Stacy London, and Bloch become celebrities in their own right—with reality shows and bitchy newspaper quotes—it begins to pull back the curtain on how our favorite stars look so damn fabulous all the time. No, natural acting ability does not come hand in hand with innate fashion sense. Ha! It's all very practiced and calculated, sometimes down to what one wears to the grocery store.
So while the American empire crumbles all around us, celebrities increasingly do not want to be associated with the embarrassing largess of paying someone lots of money to pick out their clothes in the morning. Bloch says this is a cutting out of "the middleman," which is apt and true. And it's an unnecessary middleman! Maybe everything in the entertainment industry just got too overheated, too frivolous and expensive. Now's the time to issue some correctives, so let's start with the people whose jobs are really just entirely made up.
Of course then we'll have to march down the line axing everyone from dog walkers to, gulp, people who recap television shows, but if it'll get America back on the right track, then so be it.
We can't dress ourselves and we're damn proud of it. Won't you join us, rich and famous celebrities? Potato sacks unite!

At each meeting they learn from guest speakers and have a chance to win an ever-growing jackpot raffle. MEMBERSHIP ON THE RISE: Thanks to the club's social, upbeat approach, more than 25 new Lions of all ages have recently joined through helping with projects and attending fun meetings and open houses. The club's original pres-ident, 104-year-old LeRoy DeBast, still proudly serves. STAYING ON TRACK FOR THE BLIND: For the past 35 years, the Lions have held an annual track and field meet for visually impaired youths. More than 100 students convene at the Washington State School for the Blind for the fun com-petition, pre-meet career talks by visually impaired adults and a post-meet dance. FAST FOOD: Since the Lions started "Walk and Knock" in 1982, it has grown to become the county's largest food drive. Through asking for food donations door-to-door on the first Saturday in December, Lions and other volunteers collect enough food to stock 13 food banks through March. ROCK STARS FOR A CAUSE: The Lions' biggest fundraisers are their eclec-tic benefit concerts featuring local talent, including themselves. Lions have sur-prised audiences by dressing in costume and rapping, singing reggae tunes and crooning country oldies. These good sports have raised close to $100,000 for Sightfirst II and other causes. WHY SERVE? "My boss ordered me to join a community service group. Against my will I joined the Lions because they met at lunch. That was over 25 years ago. Since then, I've learned how good it feels to be a member of a group that helps so many in so many ways." –Roy Pulliam, membership chairperson Lion Sandy Hammond helps a visually impaired competitor at the annual track meet. OVERHEARD "When you go to work every day, you work hard, fight the fight, chasing the almighty dollar, and that has its place. But you just don't do that with the Lions club. You feel really good after doing what we do." –Todd Probasco, 2012-13 president of the Orland Park Lions Club in Illinois, in the Orland Park Patch. "If we want to live in this community and we want to be a good community, we have to take care of the people who live here who don't have the resources." –Dr. Sally Freeman, grand marshal of a Lions parade in Rincon, Georgia, and an owner of Effingham Eye Care, which provides free eye care in part-nership with Rincon Lions. From the Effingham Herald. "It's definitely like being royalty. And the Lions club gives you free corn dogs!" –Mendota (Illinois) Sweet Corn Festival Queen Madeline Piller in the Mendota Reporter.
