- Preston74 said...
another great rom. thank you my friend. testing now, no problems so far. BTW. nice lockscreen wallpaper:)
one thing, in settings missing auto lock option, so i was unable to disable auto lock. solution is remove file from Windows\StartUp.
- January 26, 2011 at 5:30 PM
I have one Small Question.
I have been using your previous
test rom and on that rom
I had no problem to get the "WORD SUGGESTION" to work in swedish.
In this rom it seems like you are using anoter method for this instead of xt9.
Can I change this in some way or do you have a cab for this?
Now I can only get english words eaven though I have installed some cabs for swedish et9 keyboard.
I also wounder if there is some
- January 26, 2011 at 6:38 PM
Great rom! So far, no problems.
Is there a way to get those little FN / Shift icons, when pressing those keyboard buttons, next to a keyboard icon in the bottom bar??
Keep up the good work!
- January 26, 2011 at 7:37 PM
Can we get FB tab back?
and what about lagy, slow calendar agenda tab?
Appointments in agenda appears only after 5 sec from opening htc/sense calendar tab
Thanks for developing and bringing perfection to xperia x1 :]]
- January 26, 2011 at 8:41 PM
- Williyung said...
Fb tab isn't htc sense official tab, you can install by yourself.
I don't have that calendar laggy issue. Hardreset/softreset if you haven't done it.
- January 26, 2011 at 9:24 PM
- Williyung said...
The autolock is placed under /utilities as Lock Device
- January 26, 2011 at 9:33 PM
- Arthur said...
Hi Williyung
Here is link of ezinput cab I installed:
my situation same as on top page 9 comment the man solved this problem useing WM6.5(21901) instead of 23569
many thank of take your time
your work not only shining my X1, but also me. :D
- January 26, 2011 at 10:50 PM
finally.... broooo... hopefully i can donlod this with success...
- January 26, 2011 at 11:12 PM
Done soft/hard/soft resets, you can find short video how it looks: youtube.com/watch?v=-7uCdJwhYiM
No problems with windows mobile calendar, lag problem only on HTC/Sense calendar. I noticed that non recurring items shown almost instantly, lag occurs on recurring items only!
p.s. same question posted on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10915692#post10915692
post no. #1197

Is there a way to get this back?
(some cab or something)
- January 27, 2011 at 2:26 PM

tenkyu prof willy, download now,

- January 27, 2011 at 3:28 PM
Dear willi this rom is perfect.better than your previous rom.
but I feel the sound quality is low,
I cant feel deep base like your previous rom .( with sound boost )
- January 27, 2011 at 5:10 PM
just flashed this rom.
work fast for me. new icons are excellent. love it! :P
but is it rom UC compatible?
- January 27, 2011 at 9:36 PM
hi Willi,
first of all,i'm sorry my english sucks!
i've used this rom for almost two days,heres my opinions:
what i like about it:
1-good looking!shiny and smooth,new icons and new soft key design(gorgeous design)are fantastic.
2-good battery life.
3-good speed.
4-more free RAM.
my problem with this rom:(i mentioned some in TEST rom,but no one listended and had no interest!)
1-i had my first SOD with this rom.and it was NOT during charging.
2-so many lags in sliding between manila tabs and new sms button on manila tab,some times i think it freezed!(happened in test rom,too.)
3-once i had a graphic issue(looked like may screen was broken! ).after restart it was fine.
4-i have still my problem with panel(white strip at the top of the panels)-(happened in previous romes)
5-i still have problem with sbp time and profile indicator on taskbar(after an alarm,it changes to ring,but the device's still on vibrate)(happened in previous roms)
6-valid time of quick gps is expired!
what i missed!:
1-% battery enhancer
2-4*4 quick link(the 3*3 are faster)
3-the new button you added in TEST rome beside the menu that links to resco task manager.
4-don't be angry,but you're rom are getting very simillar,i mean you are always use manila 2.5(wich is the greatest manila and you're doing your job so well)but why don't you try manila 2.1 or even win 6.1(which requested so many times by another of your fan).
i think the best of your rom that i used so far is 23127.i had no problem with it (except the sbp time,and core player ,and white strip top of the panel)and i decided to flash it again and never change it!!!
thanks you again.
wish you the best,love u,bisarzamin.
- January 27, 2011 at 11:36 PM
I also have had 2 sod during the last day.
I did task 29 and then stock rom
before flashing this rom
- January 28, 2011 at 1:13 AM
Hi Willy,
I've installed your ROM (build 23149)and really like it so far (no bugs and running smoothly.. you did a great job;) )
The only problem I have is with my call display feature... with the original ROM I could see the name of the caller even if it's not in my contact list and now this feature disappeared...
Please give me some ideas how I can solve this issue.. maybe just to change some setting or to install a newer build?
- January 28, 2011 at 2:10 AM
hi willy i experience some lag or small freezes during usage of your latest masterpiece but otherwise it's just great, i like new wallpapers .we have also a lot of free ram considering that we use manila...could you cook identical rom without manila ? just a thougt ..
i tried almost all roms which you can find on xda , but when i installed your rom for the first time i never wan't to try any other rom :) love you work

bukmark dulu..
mau ganti ROM tp lg keburu2 ;)
- January 28, 2011 at 5:41 AM
Downloading :)
I have the same question as someone before, can you make visible the FN/SHIFT ICON, I really miss that specially when I type SMS and mails.
Maybe in the Top bar or below.
- January 28, 2011 at 8:19 AM
sorry to ask stupid question
how to set finger keyboard as default?
- January 28, 2011 at 9:49 AM
less quality in earphone .
less bass .
also some times windows media player stop for 1 sec .
willi did you change audio driver ?
- January 28, 2011 at 10:52 AM
- Williyung said...
Yes, I did. Will look into it.
Googling for sipchange
The FN/SHIFT icon won't work with WM 6.5.3, nothing can we do.
Disable sense, then softreset, you'll get more free ram and I think not much different with a rom without sense.
Oh really? So from where the phone get/know the caller name if it's not exist in your contact list?
Can your phone show the SIM card contacts now?
- January 28, 2011 at 12:10 PM
- Williyung said...
Here's my answers:
1. still unknown solution
2. It won't/rarely happen after couple softreset with power button.
3. still unknown solution
4. Panel was built with 6.1 interface. wm 6.5.3 has different size of taskbar, that's why it has white strip on the top. You can try latest uTask version which has position fix feature.
5. Which version are you using?
6. I think I don't need to tell you that your quickgps need to be updated. It also may caused by wrong date/time setting.
Next answer:
1. I don;t like it
2. I don't like it
3. I removed it because I want to ensure that some reported freezes issue from previous rom isn't caused by it.
4. I don't like it. If I do something that I don't like, the result won't be good. Also wm 6.1 and manila 2.1 are pretty dead ( no more developments from ms and htc).
I build roms for fun, and I like something new.
23127 might be more stable because it doesn't use patched OS files, but the effect is the video call doesn't work.
If you ask me, I would prefer use a rom without patched OS files though video call doesn't work (I don;t need it, anyway), but ppl need it, so it's the best mix for now, I think.
- January 28, 2011 at 12:32 PM
cannot connect the internet via usb (Ativesyn)
- January 28, 2011 at 12:34 PM

Connected and synced well here.
Try to restart your x1/pc or try another usb port.
- January 28, 2011 at 12:42 PM
It's a feature that offered by a Canadian carrier (Rogers):
but I think I've already found a sollution :)
I will try it.. hopefully it will work..
- January 28, 2011 at 1:35 PM
- Preston74 said...
hey willi, a new version of WiMoSpeed supports xperia. but not work with this rom. its says: "could not identify version of OEMXIP". its because of patched OS files? if yes i will try it with build 23149. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887469
- January 28, 2011 at 3:01 PM
willi may I have prevoius rom audio diver ? in previous rom sound was perfect but in this rom quality is not perfect.
Less bass
Could you pls provid a cab for previous audio driver
is it possible ?
also windows media player stop for secends when I am working with opera.
It look likes so much pressor to cpu .
If you cant do any thing for sound pls let me know so I will change rom with previous version .
- January 28, 2011 at 4:50 PM
- Preston74 said...
Yes! WiMoSpeed 1.04 works with build 23149. it runs stable so far at 691.2 MHz.
i just set cpu speed on 691.2, save settings and created a link with actual setting. then with total commander transferred this link file to the windows startup directory.
and yes, performance is better now. start menu load more faster or when i press phone key, the dialer appear alot more faster.i can notice a difference now:)
its need more testing, but in the future maybe Wiili can cook this app into rom?
- January 28, 2011 at 5:46 PM
hi my friends & hi willy;)
I see there are different problems again
u were right about graphic issue.after some turning off & on after this problem is will be solved.
there is no SOD for me
no charging freeze
it seems that autolock & password shouldn't be enabled together.
utask is ok with rom u can add it again I think,if u like it;)
letter/block recognizer & transcriber are working with rom.
everything else working;)
it will be stable if we don't full it with various programs:D
what about a super speedy titanium rom willy:D
- January 28, 2011 at 7:22 PM
- Williyung said...
I noticed it's better to do softreset with power button instead of using softreset apps, and the rom will be more stable.
Sometimes softreset with apps may cause not accurate battery consumption.
Super speedy titanium rom? I doubt I can :p
Seems the issue is not caused by patched OS files, because 23149 also uses the pacthed files.
I think it's because incompability the OEMXIP (Device Kernel) that I use in 29007. I changed it, anyway. You need to report and give my rom link to the author.
Try this fix: http://www.mediafire.com/?sjd7n0dsrq9r0bu
How to install:
1. Disable sense
2. Softreset
3. Install the cab
4. Softreset
5. Enable Sense
6. Softreset
Let me know if it fixes the issue.
- January 28, 2011 at 9:49 PM
- Preston74 said...
i already reported the problem in application thread. will see.
did you try winmospeed, what do you think about this?
- January 28, 2011 at 10:08 PM
- Williyung said...
I haven't tried it with other build. Just tried to 29007, and error as you wrote.
I still need 29007 on my x1, so can't flash another build for a while.
Will try it as if it has a solution and let you know my opinion.
- January 28, 2011 at 10:13 PM
- Preston74 said...
i think its worth to try. i have installed cht 2.0, a few widgets, gingerbread theme and MMappLauncher. after 1 hour, my overclocked xperia have a lot of free ram and runs really smooth:)
see screenshots:

Woww..really cool! Can't wait to try :)
- January 28, 2011 at 10:57 PM
hi willl
version 3.2.0,build 2803
1-about panels i don't use them and usually don't install them,i tried it just for curiosity.but in some other 6.5 roms it works properly.however no problem.
2-i'm using sbp time version 3.2.0 build 2803.but i don't have this problem with other roms.
3-sorry about my foolishness!about quick gps!
4-it's ok,don't be upset.i just told to think about it for a change and help more people.
i agree with you about win 6.1 and manila 2.1,but i think it's the best combination for devices like x1.
x1 is an old device and can't handle the way devices like hd2 handle,you know...
5-i don't use video call either(it doesnt work in my country!).that's i love 23127
6-good job man,good job!
take care...
- January 28, 2011 at 11:01 PM
- Williyung said...
1. Which version of 6.5 roms you tried? Old UI or New UI?
If it's old UI/ wm 6.5.0, then yes, it won't have white strip line, because wm 6.5.0 has same taskbar size as wm 6.1.
Could be also that roms use position fix apps if it's wm 6.5.x.
2. Ok, I'll give a try for that version.
3. no problems my friend
4. That's me. One of my reason why I still want to buy X1 though it was lost is because I feel I haven't done with X1. I still want to learn and learn, and try to find a way how to optimize the new features like sense and 6.5 to our old device X1, though it's hard. But I won't give up that easy.
Ppl maybe think I'm stupid to do that, but again, that's me!
6. Thank you..
- January 28, 2011 at 11:33 PM

- January 30, 2011 at 6:50 AM
Wicked ROM, super speedy. Though for some reason, incoming texts are stamped 5 hours earlier.
eg. I get text at 10pm but its stamped at 5pm
Is this only happening to me? or is anyone else experiencing this too?
- January 30, 2011 at 9:20 AM
I reverted to the test rom since it had ezInput with xt9.
Is there a way to enable that on the latest rom.
I also found the test rom faster.
- January 30, 2011 at 2:58 PM
- Armin J said...
Hi willi, I am so glad that you are back here with a new x1 and also new Rom.
I tested this Rom for 3 days now, and I can say it has NO BUGS and ISSUES.
Just wanted to thank you for your high quality Rom.
Also the Sound Quality is not that bad as I heard people saying, Bass is very good, (I haven't tested the previous Rom to compare with)
Anyway, this is great, even I have been using this in heavy duty, but it does the Job great.
- January 30, 2011 at 5:34 PM
Hello willi, right now I have installed 28237 build sense 2018 cookie, and I have 2 questions:
1. When I go to the tricolour screen (pressing volume down and power button) I noticed that appear KOVS100 instead of KOVS110, is there any problem on that?.
2. At the hardware information screen shows 256mb of ram, but then I go to start menu\system\memory and says that it has only 192mb of ram; the task manager also indicates only 192mb of ram.
What's wrong?, It's a problem related to the rom or something in my phone?
(beside this everything works great)

i like use SPB keyboard, because there is CTRL key there. unfortunately, on WM 6.5 the option in SPB cannot be edited. so i have to use default setting of it, whereas i want to customize one.
Are there applications for Virtual Keyboard which CTRL key exist there?

hi willy
I had sod about 2 days ago but after that I'm using it without restarting.no problem:P
it is the new rom not first one that u sent;)

I'm so like use this version. But it hasn't had no radio. how i add radio here?
Because my x1 can't upgrade to WM 6.5 using under micro SD, at last using FRUU.
Could i upgrade radio here using FRUU too?
pls help..thanks

langsung aq coba ya ko..
thanks for the new update.
i will give you a report soon.
- February 1, 2011 at 9:23 AM
- Williyung said...
What kind of radio did you mean? If it's Firmware's radio, then you don't need to add the radio, your X1 should have radio flashed from stock rom.
Custom rom doesn't include firmware's radio.
- February 1, 2011 at 10:58 AM
- Williyung said...
Did you flash to stock rom before flash this rom?
- February 1, 2011 at 11:00 AM

i have flashed my x1 using [ROM X1] 826x WM 6.5.3 build 29007 - Sense 2019 (Wednesday, January 26, 2011)
But i cant play radio here. "unexpected error" message is exist while.
If Custom rom doesn't include firmware's radio, so how i can install radio firmware to this ROM?
Because my x1 can't upgrade to WM 6.5 using under micro SD, at last using FRUU.
Could i instal radio firmware v1.16 here using FRUU too?
thanks so much master willi :)
- February 1, 2011 at 11:05 AM
- Williyung said...
- I don't bring my headset right now, so can't test the radio apps, when I opened it, it just said to plug the headset, no errors as you mentioned.
I think it's not related to the firmware's radio. Did you Hardreset after flashing? Which version of your radio?
- To flash firmware's radio, you need the radio's ruu_signed.nbh (radio image file eg. v.1.16) and the flash utility. You can use the utility that came with my rom, it's same.
- FRUU can be used to flash radio, but you need to replace the pre*.nbh with the radio's .nbh, so better use the flash utility above.

What's wrong?, It's a problem related to the rom or something in my phone?
(beside this everything works great)

i have done hard reset after upgrade is finished. Did my upgrading is corrupted?
At last,i have checked at Device information mentioned, radio version: 22.214.171.124
I hv got new radio version here:
if i want to use flash utility, please give us procedure step by step to do that?
*Note: I have had radio firmware and Flash utility
Thanks brade :)
- February 1, 2011 at 11:51 AM
hmmmm,nope :D
I'll do it again in some days.I tired of flashing:D
- February 1, 2011 at 12:12 PM
- Williyung said...
- Try to hardreset
- The procedure is same with flashing rom.
1. Placed the ruu_signed.nbh and the utility at the same folder
2. Execute the flash utility and follow the instruction on screen
3. X1 restart and done
1. Mine show KOV110. I'm not sure if it'll cause issue. Better you flash back to your stock rom again and redo the hardspl.
2. The rest is used by pagepool

must i rename ruu_signed.nbh be kovsimg.nbh?
recently, i already put both of file flash utility & ruu_signed (renamed: kovsimg.nbh) and follow instruction but still exist message windows "invalid code" so that flashing radio is failed.
how the way if i'll use FRUU flashing procedure?
- February 1, 2011 at 12:32 PM
- sigitdido said...
message windows writen: "INVALID MODEL ID"
- February 1, 2011 at 12:36 PM
- Williyung said...
- No need to rename.
- The utility should work for both names ruu_signed.nbh or kovsimg.nbh, make sure the file name doesn't have double extension like this: kovsimg.nbh.nbh
Also check list this:
- Your pc should have net framwork 3.5 installed
- If you're using vista/win7, run the utility as administrator
- Make sure there;s no *.nbh file on your root dir sd card.
I've shared how to use FRUU on Indonesia's thread. Someone has also paste it to kaskus, it;s the same..just read it.

ok. my flashing is successfull.
Thanks master :)
BTW, after upgrade radio firmware, hard reset is must too ??
or just do soft reset only..
many thanks :)
- February 1, 2011 at 12:51 PM

No problems :)
No need to hardreset..hardreset is required only after flashing rom or maybe you have weird bugs that others don't.

Did you install X1 Media panel?

No, i don't install X1 Media Panel.
Must i install that one?
I've ever flashed using 826x Build 21682 sense 2019 and radio icon in multimedia can be executed and worked normally.
Why instead of 826x WM 6.5.3 build 29007 - Sense 2019 ?
- February 1, 2011 at 1:24 PM
- Williyung said...
No, as I remember Media panel R3A beta conflict with some radio apps like power radio.
I can't confirm for your issue right now, need a headset to test it when I get home. But it seems no one reported this issue so far.

Hi willy.
I've installed this Rom And i should say it's great and nice working. More battery stability and better sense performance. Keyboard is supporting auto correction and Farsi (Persian) language. There is no problem so far.
By the way, I've heard you are currently working on a new kitchen, with Android and Win phone for X1, is that possible? when we could wait for it?

Hi Willi, big thx for another awesome ROM, it is working great, but I have one little problem - people tab is messed up, it shows wrong names of contacs, althoug phone nubmers are sometimes correct, somtimes not. I tried to do resync of contatcs but it didn't help. Any clue how to solve this, it's really annoying, because one time I dial emergency line instead of my friend. Thx for any advice. Keep up good work, you're the best ;)

- February 8, 2011 at 9:57 PM
One question:
when put your x1 as a portable usb drive connect with PC, and just then a coming call ring it, the ringtone will change if you save your ringtone mp3 in your SD card.
I think it is not a bug becoz that when you connect your device with PC, the SD card will not be read by mobile. So the device can not find the ringtone file from SD card.
The solution of this question is copy your favorite music into SD card, and then set them as your ringtone.

why using this ROM cause me often use task manager.
Some application have no EXIT menu and really cant be stopped by Click (X), they are still running -need some memory- on background. So to close them we have to run task manager and kill it to free up amount memory. thanks.

I found that the current build sometime doesn't want to wake up. Don't get me wrong, it's not SOD. The phone seems "wake up" again but there is only the top bar, the rest stays black, none of hard buttons work except Turn On/Off. I had to remove the battery.

@ bisarzamin:::
I have in my X1 SPB Time newest SPB time downloaded form official sites (spbsoftwarehouse.com) and no problem. But I´m using SPB mobile shell 3.5.5 (not SENSE UI), because with sense battery life is about one day, and with SPB shell It´s 3 days.
@ Willy:
Another great ROM, but battery life is very bad for me (maybe my battery is dead). With switched off 3G and switched on SENSE about 1 day, with 3G and SENSE on - about 18hours...

Your ROM still the best! At least on my X1. Not like other ROM, I never experience hiccups when play mp3 in your ROM. Are you have tried Dynamics GTX 2.0, the sound is Outstanding!!! Your ROM would be PERFECT if the patch can apply on yours, one more thing can you make WMP default video players instead HTC's in your next ROM, coz HTC's very laggy. Many many thanks before.

hey guys.. I found a maybe-true SOD/CHARGING FREEZE SOLUTION!!
before, I'll explain this thing :
willy and some other friends said that reflashing stock ROM before flashing a custom ROM, and then never do task29, is also true to avoid SOD
but, I always do task29, and my ROM never SOD/charge freeze for two week.. will report you soon after my further test
here it is :
- use S2U2, then set to lock the device when Backlight turns off (s2u2 settings-> power)
- NEVER use the power button to sleep device. Instead, You can assign left or right softkey, or the X-panel button to execute s2u2, if you want to lock the device before keeping it in pocket.
- you can set the S2U2 to power off the device after 5 seconds (s2u2 settings-> power), so after executing s2u2, the device will be powered off after 5 seconds
how can S2U2 prevent SOD/charge freeze?
- the main idea to prevent Sense SOD/charging freeze is to change to another screen before sleeping the device. So, Sense services will not run (because it is in the background), even when waking the device, because S2U2 is now the foreground. SOD/charging freeze occured by Sense services.
- in another post, Willy said that using the original autolock (on power button) can prevent SOD, but I think that's not true.. because the lock screen comes AFTER the device WAKES, NOT BEFORE the device SLEEP
try it guys.. but I NEVER face the SOD/charge freeze for 2 WEEKS, even when charging the device overnight
(Screen freezing or phone hang still also a problem, but they are seldomly happened.. yes, because Sense is rather heavy for X1 CPU)
Please correct me, Master Willy or friends, if I'm wrong.. :) I'm using Willy's latest ROM for now..

I know maybe that's because you lost your old kitchen.. I feel very sorry about it..
When I reflashed back to 826x_21682_Sense_2019, I feel the truly Willyung!! fast, data connection okay, trouble-free.. your old icons is better IMO..

As far I could `google` the problem, this is a SENSE issue, not an 826x ROM probem.
Did you guys got this feature working with any other SENSE ROM?
There are some workarronds out there. Did any worked?

Thank you Kdio,
I installed Energy ROM (Sencity) and the SMS issue has been gone. This ROM also uses Sense 2019 and Win 6.5. So this can be fixed.
Energy ROM has some mayor flaws though. I get a freeze almost every day. And they arent even reproducible like the sms bug. So I'm switching back to Willys ROM.
Thank you again Willy.
- April 10, 2011 at 4:18 PM
Since I cant yet post in the XDA-Developers section I'm giving some more feedback here:
Just wiped (Task 29) my phone and installed this ROM.
- doesnt count characters in message-view of sense
- great menu when long pressing home button, but does it have to vibrate so long when set to vibrate? I really cant stand this feeling
- when charging it charges until full, drops down to 95, charges til full etc. I dont know if other ROMs do this as well but just hide it. I'm worrying a bit about my battery
- have to test the sms issue

Recently, I embarked on a mission to become proficient at writing MDX queries. This is a challenge, as many of you may already know. MDX, though a query language, is very different from T-SQL as I quickly found out. Each week I will share with you a puzzle and then a couple of days later I will share my solution. Please don't post your solutions on this blog post. Only post them on the Solution post, which will contain Solution in the title. Each solution post will contain a section on terminology and concepts if any new ones are introduced and the MDX query that is the solution to the puzzle. In this first posting there will be a few. The puzzles will start out very basic, but will move to more advanced MDX techniques as time progresses and my skills improve. I will be using the Adventure Works 2008 R2 cube, which can be downloaded from codeplex. So, let's get started.
My first puzzle was to write what I thought was a very simple query. Here is the puzzle:
|Show: Product Internet Sales and Order Quantity Measures
Rows: Product Categories and SubCategories
Columns: Ship Years
Filter: Only Show Men from Customer Dimension and Exclude NULL values
Hint: You will need a tuple for year and measures and for the rows.
Remember, don't post you solutions here. Save them for my solution post. I will post it along with the steps that was taken to solve the puzzle in a couple of days. Here is a screen shot of what the results should look like:
Don't forget to check back in a couple days for the solution.
Talk to you soon,

Funeral arrangements have been announced for the Rev. Andrew Greeley, the outspoken Chicago priest, novelist and sociologist who died this week at age 85.
A wake for the Rev. Greeley is scheduled for 3 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at Christ the King Catholic Church, 9235 S. Hamilton Ave.
Visitation is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. to noon, Wednesday, with a funeral Mass following at noon, also at Christ the King.
Greeley had been an assistant pastor at Christ the King early in his priesthood and has long been associated with the parish.
Greeley died Wednesday night at his home at the John Hancock Center, several years after fracturing his skull in a fall at the Rosemont Blue Line "L" stop. An autopsy by the Cook County medical examiner's office found that he died from heart disease, with a contributing factor being the accidental head injuries he suffered in the fall.

3246251196 replied to boxerboi's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubCoincidentally, I was going to ask how many miles you should be getting out of a 1.25 with 15£ petrol. I seem to be getting about 100. Does that sound about right? (I still have the problem of my oil going somewhere I do not know. Drinking oil is this car)
Torturous Remains Of A Blown Head-Gasket
3246251196 replied to 3246251196's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubJust to add more information. I have noticed that I can rev the car right up so long as it is in neutral; when this is done there is no evidence of any rattling noises. This leaves me to think that it could be something to do with the clutch? Just an idea.

Torturous Remains Of A Blown Head-Gasket
3246251196 posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubMy fiesta (X Reg, 1.25, 16v etc etc etc) is not running as it should be. I had the head-gasket fixed a number of months ago and ever since then it has never ran the same. I understand that this is normally the case for any car - that is to say, once the head is sorted the car is never really the same again. However, these are the problems with it at the minute: 1. The car seems to be "pinking"; I have tried using injectorCleaner in the tank and that has done nothing. Basically, when hitting the accelerator, there is a horrible clunking noise (rattling) I hear and simultaneously white smoke coming from the exhaust; now I am aware that the exaggerated release of white smoke from the exhaust tends to be a symptom of Coolant leaking through somewhere - however - it seems as though this cannot be the case because the Coolant levels have not dropped at all since the head gasket was sorted. So where this white smoke is coming from is beyond me. Also, where/why this rattling noise exists is beyond me. 2. The car is using up a lot of oil. In about 2-3 weeks it used up a "MAX" level of oil. Could this really just be pinking? Is the car even pinking at all? What could this all be? Thanks.

Rattling Noise; especially when flooring
3246251196 replied to 3246251196's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubYeah, it was checked. And there is no water decrease from the coolant either. The only thing which I have not done correctly is having the water a little over the MAX level on the coolant.
Rattling Noise; especially when flooring
3246251196 replied to 3246251196's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubStill having this problem. I used injector cleaner in the tank as well. The car still has this annoying problem. This rattling noise is followed by white smoke coming out of the exhaust too. I know that different colour smokes means different things. - Do you think it is pinking? - If so would I need to use more injector Cleaner?

Ford Fiesta 1.25 sucking sound problem
3246251196 replied to pevans91's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubYeah, I remember getting that. I blew a hole in my exhaust when I pulled away from a red light way to strongly. Blew a hole in the exhaust and, to be honest, it sounded amazing. But it was all sorted within a day.
Rattling Noise; especially when flooring
3246251196 replied to 3246251196's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubIt is surely a no-no, but there are times when I need to get up to 70 quick. I think the problem might also be something called "pinking" according to a friend. I put some injector cleaner in the car and it helped it a little. But it is CLEAR that there is no where near as much power in it as before. I do not even think I could pull of a frontal wheel spin anymore. Also, I recently got new pads/discs for my brakes. They are sound. However, the front left wheel - after a long journey - is so hot. You could honestly cook a breakfast on the alloy. I am afraid this is going to warp my discs again. Clearly something is not right but I have no idea why the alloy/disc gets SO hot; it is not warped at all AT THE MINUTE. I took it on a long journey last night and could hear a weird noise from it - like a screaching every so often. In summary, I have this "pinking" problem (which it may not even be pinking); I also have this left front wheel overheating. Finally, the car does still seem to get so hot inside which seems completely irregular.
Rattling Noise; especially when flooring
3246251196 posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubAfter having a gasket fixed I have now noticed that my Fiesta (2000, LX, Zetec, 16v, 1.25l) is making a concerning rattling noise which seems to come from the axels (maybe - that is a complete guess). This happens not always, but mainly when I floor the accelerator. Moving off from 1st is not an issue and even going to 2nd proves to be sound. However, when I get into 3rd and floor it (or, almost floor it) there is this rattling noise and white smoke coming from the exhaust also. It certainly does not look too healthy. Can someone try and diagnose such a problem or suggest something. Thankyou.

New London business owner Cornish ordered to testify at California murder trial
New London business owner Roderick Cornish has become a reluctant witness in a cold case murder in Orange County, Calif., that he says he knows nothing about.
At the request of California authorities, New London Superior Court Judge Hillary B. Strackbein on Wednesday ordered Cornish to travel to Santa Ana, Calf., on Aug. 19, to testify before a grand jury in the murder trial of Norma Patricia Esparza. Prosecutors allege Esparza may have confided details of the case to Cornish during telephone and online conversations.
Esparza is accused of helping plan the April 1995 murder of Gonzalo Ramirez, a man she said raped her in her dorm room at Pomona College in Claremont, Calif., three weeks before he was killed. Her boyfriend at the time, Gianni Van, whom Esparza would later marry and then divorce, is accused of slaying Ramirez with a meat cleaver and is awaiting trial along with Esparza and two others.
Esparza went on to become a psychology professor who lived and worked near the border of France and Switzerland, married and had a son. She was traveling to the United States for a conference in October 2011 when she was detained at Boston's Logan Airport in connection with the murder.
Cornish, owner of Hot Rod Cafe on Bank Street, had gone to Logan Airport to pick up Esparza and, California authorities allege in court documents, had more than a dozen phone conversations with her while she was being held in county jail in Massachusetts while awaiting extradition to California. The calls were recorded, and Orange County prosecutor Michael Murray alleges in an affidavit that "Esparza and Cornish seem to talk in code at times."
"During at least one phone call, Roderick tells Esparza he loves her," says the court document. "Esparza tells Cornish in another phone call to delete all of their email correspondence and Cornish agrees to do so."
The affidavit indicates investigators permitted Cornish to take possession of Esparza's luggage when she was booked in prison and that during one phone conversation, they discuss a gift she brought for Cornish that he would find in her luggage.
"... It also appears that Esparza may have confided in Cornish about the murder of Gonzalo Ramirez and that she and Cornish are attempting to delete any electronic trail regarding these communications," the affidavit says.
The computers could be examined forensically and deleted messages recovered, the affidavit says, but Cornish could legally refuse to speak to investigators and could simply destroy his computer.
"The People seek to compel Cornish to testify in front of a Grand Jury, immunizing him if necessary, so that he can be questioned regarding what Esparza told him about the murder of Gonzalo Ramirez," the affidavit says. "This will avoid the likelihood that Cornish can refuse to provide a statement and destroy evidence before it can be obtained via search warrant."
It is unclear how Cornish and Esparza met. A New London native, Cornish, who is 49, lived out of state for a number of years. He eventually returned to New London and in 2005 opened Hot Rod.
Before granting the interstate subpoena Wednesday, Strackbein noted the State of California would pay for Cornish's airfare and hotel during the three days he is expected to be needed. She also gave Cornish an opportunity to describe any hardships that would prevent him from traveling to the West Coast.
Speaking on Cornish's behalf, attorney Anthony R. Basilica said Cornish runs a seven-days-a-week business and has a 3-month-old baby.
"Also, he has nothing to offer in this case," Basilica said.
The judge said Basilica could check into having Cornish testify via video conferencing from the courthouse but granted California's request based on "the fact that there's a pending murder case and the court believes he's a material witness."
Reached by phone later at the restaurant, Cornish politely declined to comment.
Basilica, also reached by phone, said, "California is just trying to squeeze anybody who has any possible knowledge or connection with anybody."

LMFAO Wins Top Hot 100 Song of the Year + Top Duo/Group at 2012 Billboard Music Awards
LMFAO took home not only the Top Duo/Group Award at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards, but also the Hot 100 Single of the Year – beating out stiff competition from the likes of Katy Perry and Adele.Jason Derulo, just out of a neck cast, presented the Top Hot 100 Song of the Year Award, even admitting it was a "tough one!"
The party rockers, fresh off of a performance of a medley of 'Party Rock Anthem,' 'Sorry for Party Rocking' and 'Sexy and I Know It,' danced their way up the stage. Their cohort Q shot out streamers and almost got poor ole' Redfoo in the eye!
The hip-poppers were beyond thrilled and moved by the win, giving an earnest and warm acceptance speech. "This is amazing," Redfoo gushed. "This is a dream come true." One group in particular that they thanked? "The DJs, the DJs, the DJs!" Redfoo grinned. "Dance music is back, baby!"
And it's not going away. 'Party Rock Anthem' is enjoying its whopping 60th week on the Billboard Hot 100, tying with none other than Los Del Rio's 'Macarena' for longevity. It's only the ninth song to ever remain on the charts that long!
Sky Blu had some words of his own as well. "This is the first time we've ever been up here to accept an award. It's all because of this man right here," he said pointing to his uncle Redfoo. "He taught me everything I know." Redfoo then thanked his own dad, music legend Berry Gordy, before the duo thanked their fans profusely. The newly shorn Sky Blu added, "This is proof you can do whatever you dream of."
When the duo won Top Duo/Group, they were quick to thank their 30-deep Party Rock Crew as well as their fans — and reminded viewers and listeners once again that if they dream it, they can do it.
We'll be they're toasting with some 'Shots' to their victories!

BRUSSELS, Belgium — Oxford Economics, one of Europe's global forecasting and research consultancies, has released a report that provides a wealth of statistical analysis and case studies, demonstrating how business aviation delivers substantial benefits to not only its clients, but also to local governments and communities.
Commissioned by the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA), the study outlines the significance of business aviation in Europe and quantifies how the sector's activities directly and indirectly contribute to European economies.
The report confirms that business aircraft primarily carry key corporate decision-makers on high value-added trips, EBAA officials said. Moreover, Oxford Economics has deduced that each additional passenger flown on a business aviation flight generates the same GDP as nine business passengers on a scheduled flight.
Contrary to popular belief, business aircraft are not solely reserved for wealthy individuals for private use. Instead, as one major aircraft operator estimated, 80% of these aircraft are used by corporations, including a quarter of the firms in the Eurostoxx-50 (the Eurozone's 50 leading companies), and 20% of those in the DAX (the German equivalent).
Europe's economic recovery is very much dependent on the region's ability to remain competitive in the global marketplace and stimulate investment. "It has been shown that two-thirds of executives declare face-to-face contact to be crucial in deal-making. Business aviation facilitates such meetings like no other form of transport, thanks to the flexibility of its service," says Brian Humphries, EBAA President. "If you consider Oxford's finding that 96% of city pairs served by business aviation in 2011 had no scheduled connection, it is little wonder that business aircraft passengers place a value on business aviation flights that is between eight to fifteen times higher than those made on scheduled airlines."
The Oxford Economic Study also underlines the importance of business aviation to the local economy. It finds, for example, at Farnborough Airport in the UK, direct on-site employment is estimated at around 1,000, but an additional 4,000 jobs in the local area are part of the airport's wider supply chain. Elsewhere NetJets' recent order for new planes will help sustain 5,000 jobs in Belfast into the medium term. Business aviation's contribution to physical investment in the local economy is also noted. For example, looking ahead, Paris-Le Bourget airport expects to spend around €70m in the coming decade upgrading its facilities.
"What this study clearly points out is that business aviation is playing a key role in facilitating Europe's recovery," says Fabio Gamba, EBAA CEO. "This importance should be recognized in policy formulation, with legislators developing regulations and mechanisms that bolster business aviation activity in order to further stimulate the growth of our region, rather than ignore it as it was evidenced with the European Commission's proposed recast on slot allocation, or penalize it as the Italian government has done by introducing a double tax on owners and passengers, resulting in dismal traffic figures in the country."
The European Business Aviation Association was founded in 1977 to defend the interests of business aviation. Today, more than 500 business aviation companies (direct members or members of associate organizations) rely on the EBAA to protect their business interests. It is the only voice to represent business aviation among the European institutions. For more information: EBAA.org.

Locke beats Burnett to secure Bucs' first sweep
PITTSBURGH -- Jeff Locke acknowledged that his start Sunday did not feel like a start in the Majors. The emotions were different for the 26-year-old lefty.

PITTSBURGH -- Jeff Locke acknowledged that his start Sunday did not feel like a start in the Majors. The emotions were different for the 26-year-old lefty.
Locke had grown used to sharing and learning with A.J. Burnett when the veteran took Locke under his wing during his two seasons in Pittsburgh. The two shared something else Sunday -- the pitcher's mound at PNC Park.View Full Game Coverage
In this meeting, the mentee got the best of the mentor as Locke's Pirates swept Burnett's Phillies with a 6-2 win. It was the Pirates' first sweep of the 2014 season, making them the last team in the Majors to accomplish the feat, and the Bucs finished their 10-game homestand with an 8-2 record.
After a pregame hug and some words of encouragement while warming up in the bullpen, Locke and Burnett had jobs to do. And though the two of them pitched well, Locke had the better afternoon and got the win.
"We spoke really briefly before we got in the bullpen and told each other to have fun today and go get 'em, pound down," Locke said. "He did a great job, I threw the ball well and I guess that's all you can really ask for."
Locke pitched eight impressive innings, allowing two runs, only one of which was earned, on 100 pitches. Fifteen of Locke's outs came on the ground, and he had just one walk. His effectiveness allowed him to pitch eight innings for his second straight start and third time this year.
Clint Hurdle said the key to the ground balls was that Locke threw his fastball and changeup on a downhill angle, and the Pirates manager noted that Locke threw his curveball just four times Sunday.
"When you got something working, there's no real reason to change it," said Locke, who has a 2.23 ERA in six starts since joining the Pirates rotation in June. "You don't want to over-think and say, 'Maybe I should throw more curveballs today.' … You start doing things like that, people will recognize what you're doing to them."
The Phillies had three hits against Locke, but the one that hurt was Marlon Byrd's second home run in as many days, which came in the seventh. But Locke retired the last five batters he saw after that, and he ended his day with four strikeouts. The other run he allowed came in the first inning after third baseman Pedro Alvarez's 17th throwing error of the season.
Locke's friend and counterpart got a warm reception before he threw a pitch, as the Pirates before the game on the scoreboard played a video tribute to Burnett, who tipped his cap to a standing ovation from the crowd of 33,408.
"It made me feel at home," Burnett said. "It caught me off guard. I don't know what to expect. It was a warm reception. Very classy."
Pirates fans had more to cheer about after Burnett's former batterymate, Russell Martin, doubled in the first off the right-field wall, scoring Andrew McCutchen and Neil Walker. All three of the Bucs' hits in the inning came after Burnett struck out his first two batters.
Burnett settled in and allowed just one more run, when Josh Harrison tripled and scored in the third. The right-hander totaled seven strikeouts and, just like Locke, threw exactly 100 pitches.
"It was a good game all around," Burnett said. "A couple pitches here or there. That ball to Cutch. Cutch is Cutch. The ball caught a little bit more of the plate to Russell. He put a good swing on it. The triple by [Harrison]. You take those two away, and we've got a pretty good ballgame."
The Pirates ensured the sweep in the eighth inning with three runs off the Phillies bullpen. McCutchen, Starling Marte and Jordy Mercer all had RBIs in the frame. McCutchen drove his run in on a triple, and he ended the series with seven hits and five RBIs, while the Phillies, as a team, ended the series with 11 hits and five RBIs.
The Phillies were the last of five straight opponents to face the Pirates while in last place for at least one game of the series. The Pirates went 12-4 in that stretch and in the process gained 4 1/2 games on the slumping first-place Brewers.
"It's always fun for everybody when we're playing the brand of baseball we expect to play," Hurdle said. "Our challenge is to play our best baseball regardless of our competition. ... It has been a good run of our team playing good baseball in all facets."
But on Monday the Pirates start a series with the Cardinals, whom they jumped for second place in the National League Central with their latest victory. It will be the first time they have played a team with a winning record since June 15 in Miami.

LITTLE ROCK � The House on Tuesday approved a bill that would remove the governor's authority to suspend or limit the sale, dispensing or transportation of firearms during an emergency.
LITTLE ROCK � The House on Tuesday approved a bill that would remove the governor�s authority to suspend or limit the sale, dispensing or transportation of firearms during an emergency.
Without debate, the House also approved legislation that would make it a crime to harm an unborn child from conception to birth.
The gun bill, House Bill 1819 by Rep. Charlotte Douglas, R-Alma, passed in a 78-9 vote.
Douglas said the bill is part of the National Rifle Association�s legislative package and is intended to ensure that Arkansans are able to defend themselves in times when the government may not be able to defend them.
�What I am asking you to vote on today is the preservation of a basic right for all Arkansans, you and I, to be able to defend our families and bear arms during emergencies,� Douglas told House members. �There is no emergency exception to the people�s Bill of Rights.�
Speaking against the bill, Rep. John Walker, D-Little Rock, said it appeared to afford people opportunity to offer armed resistance in the event that the governor calls in the National Guard to restore order in an emergency.
�The idea cannot go forth from this chamber that the right to bear arms is a right to bear arms against this government,� he said.
Matt DeCample, a spokesman for Gov. Mike Beebe, said in an interview that the governor�s office is still reviewing the bill. He noted that Beebe has never exercised the authority that the bill would remove.
The bill goes to the Senate.
The House voted 76-10 to approve Senate Bill 417 by Sen. Jim Hendren, R-Gravette, which would change the definition of �unborn child� in criminal and wrongful death statutes.
Under current law, criminal charges and wrongful death lawsuits can be brought against a person who harms a fetus at 12 weeks or more of gestation. SB 417 would allow action against a person who harms an unborn child at any point from conception to birth.
The bill goes to the Senate for concurrence in a House amendment that added exemptions for certain situations, including contraception and in vitro fertilization procedures.
The House voted 82-2 to approve SB 332 by Sen. Johnny Key, R-Mountain Home, which would raise the contribution rate school districts must pay for the public school employees� health insurance program.
Currently, the minimum amount per employee is $131 a month. Under SB 322, districts would be required to pay at least $150 a month per employee.
The bill goes to the governor.
In a 90-0 vote, the House approved SB 803 by Sen. Bobby Pierce, D-Sheridan, which would allow the state Board of Correction to implement a co-pay charge for inmate-initiated health care requests. The co-pay would be $3 per visit.
The bill goes to the governor.
The House rejected SB 737 by Sen. Cecile Bledsoe, R-Rogers, a bill to appropriate up to $2 million in surplus money to the Department of Human Services� Division of Behavioral Health, in a 39-11 vote.
Rep. Justin Harris, R-West Fork, told House members he has repeatedly requested a meeting with Division of Behavioral Health officials to talk about a 7-year-old girl who is in a mental institution, but no meeting has happened. He asked that SB 737 be held up until officials meet with him.
The Senate on Tuesday passed SB 857 by Sen. Alan Clark, R-Lonsdale, which would require the Department of Workforce Services to make quarterly reports to the Legislative Council on the department�s efforts to enforce laws that require people on unemployment to seek suitable employment or lose benefits.
The bill passed 34-0 and goes to the House.
Elsewhere Tuesday, the House Transportation Committee gave a �do pass� recommendation to SB 225 by Sen. Eddie Joe Williams, R-Cabot, which would prohibit the names of children involved in traffic accidents from being released to the public. The bill goes to the House.
The House Public Health, Welfare and Labor Committee endorsed HB 1929 by Rep. Andy Davis, R-Little Rock, which would establish new criteria and procedures for assessing water quality in Arkansas. The bill goes to the House.

Travis Williams Recaps His Final Four Experience
Atlanta, Ga. – Tennessee State head men's basketball coach Travis Williams had quite an eventful week at this year's Final Four in Atlanta. Williams attended head coaching meetings with some of the nation's best throughout the week, was honored at a banquet where he was nominated for the Joe B. Hall Award and volunteered at the 2013 NCAA Youth Clinics.
At the meetings, Williams and other premier collegiate coaches talked x's and o's while also being briefed on new NCAA rules and regulations.
"This year's meetings were a little bit different in that I was sitting there as a head coaches," Williams, who was previously a TSU assistant for three seasons. "I learned a lot while there and the NCAA always sets up top-notch instruction classes."
On Friday night, Williams attended the annual awards ceremony where he was a finalist for the Joe B. Hall award, which is presented annually to the top first-year coach in Division I college basketball.
"Although I didn't win the award, it felt good to mentioned in the same breath as some of these other coaches," Williams said. "I'm still proud of what our team accomplished this season."
Another honor awarded was the John Mclendon Award, given the nation's top coach. The accolade is named after one of the best coaches in Tennessee State history and a trailblazer for civil rights in basketball.
McLendon became the first African American coach to win an integrated national championship. TSU went on to win the NAIA Division I Men's Tournament in 1957, 1958 and 1959, making him the first coach in history to win three consecutive NAIA championships.
Georgetown's John Thompson III won this year's award.
Finally, Williams wrapped up his Final Four experience with a community service event at the NCAA Youth Clinics.
Williams mentored the young children, as well as gave them a few pointers in regards to their basketball games.
"[Coach Williams'] participation was greatly appreciated not only by us, but by the NCAA and most importantly, the kids," said Wade Hageman of the National Association of Basketball Coaches.
Of course, Williams also took in a few of weekend's Final Four games, but now he is back at working trying to get TSU there next season.

"The Third Bullet" by Stephen Hunter; Simon & Schuster ($26.99)
"The Third Bullet" by Stephen Hunter; Simon & Schuster ($26.99)
Someone should have asked a sniper.
That's what Stephen Hunter — a bestselling novelist who created Bob Lee Swagger, the best shooter there ever was, the Gun Whisperer — believes.
The gaping hole in the middle of most Kennedy assassination theories, Hunter says, is that the theorists, even those attached to the original Warren Commission, don't know the first thing about shooting, ballistics or angles.
"Looking at the body of assassination material," the author says, "too many people who knew too little have said too much."
Hunter's action-packed new thriller, "The Third Bullet," puts Swagger on the case and introduces a shockingly plausible alternative to the Lee Harvey Oswald "lone gunman" explanation.
Without giving too much away, it involves a conspiracy of just three people, a sharpshooter hidden in the neighboring Dal-Tex Building and an "exploding" bullet that leaves no forensic trace.
"I'm very curious what the assassination community will make of it," Hunter says.
But ultimately it makes no difference if experts try to pick apart his scenario, because there's a safety net for Hunter: His book is a work of fiction, and is not presented as revelatory findings and gospel truth.
"I know what criticism will be leveled at me," he says. "It's that I want it both ways, that I want credit for an ingenious theory, but I don't want to be held too strictly to a standard of truth because this is a thriller. The only answer I have to that: guilty, guilty, guilty."
"The Third Bullet" is Hunter's eighth book about Bob Lee Swagger.
Bob is a man's man, a throwback to another, more rugged time. He's part John Wayne, part Ted Williams, part Audie Murphy. In Vietnam, he earned the nickname "Bob the Nailer" because of his prowess with a rifle. The things he can make a bullet do boggle the mind.
If anyone is capable of walking through Dealey Plaza in Dallas nearly 50 years after the shooting of President Kennedy and seeing possibilities that no one else even considered, it's Bob.
Alas, Swagger is a fictional character.
But Hunter, who visited the requisite Dallas landmarks, including the Dal-Tex Building, from which a "second shooter" could have theoretically fired the fatal bullet, is hardly a rookie.
He's not a firearms savant like the character he invented, he concedes. "But I'm a guy who, from age 3 onward, has loved and been attracted to and been absorbed by guns."
Hunter maintains that he is one of the first people to bring that kind of knowledge to this historic mystery.
"It's not something you can pick up from reading a few copies of Guns & Ammo," he says. "You have to know the culture. You have to know what is possible and what isn't. You have to develop an ear for what is authentic and for what is just hooey."
Hunter also vetted the ballistics issues with experts, which is more than most conspiracy theorists seem to do.
"The Third Bullet" also casts serious doubts about Oswald, a lifelong ne'er-do-well, and whether he was capable of succeeding as the shooter.
For example, when Swagger wonders why Oswald didn't take the obvious shot, when Kennedy was closest to the Texas School Book Depository and was a barely moving target, only to take three rushed shots as the motorcade pulled away, the reader will wonder the same thing.
But remember, "The Third Bullet" is a thriller, so it's possible not only for Swagger to raise interesting questions, but also to solve the mystery and even mete out justice 50 years after the crime.

text: Hi all, Is it posible to use google apps as e-mailserver instead of installing my own on my hosting server. I know I can create mx records to google and then create a google apps account for each domain that is hosted. verify the domain and then create users and mailboxes on google apps. But is there no way to automate it or integrate it in ISP config? so that when you create a new hosting with a domain (and or alias domain) It will create a google apps account for it. Adds the alias domain. Then when you create mailboxes in isp config it will actuatly create them in google apps. kind regards.

A collective bargaining agreement has been reached between the city of Ardmore and the International Association of Firefighters, Local #1881, for the fiscal year 2013-14.
Among the highlights in the agreement is a 3 percent cost of living increase, which exceeds the 2.5 percent the union received last year.
"It was all done in the spirit of cooperation to make a fair deal on both sides," said Jaime Watts, human resources director, "and what is, I think, we settled on, a fair deal. Overall, I was pleased with how things went. They did a good job, and came in good faith, as did we, to reach an agreement, and both sides worked hard."
The department will also receive payment for lodging at the city rate rather than the IRS rate when attending training. Watts said it will allow firefighters more options in choosing a place to stay, allowing them opportunities to lodge closer to the training sites.
A change in the wording of an agreement for buyback time on sick leave was also agreed upon. The city buys back one hour for every six not spent, but with prior wording, it was understood 24 hours of sick time had to be accumulated for the 1 in 6 ratio agreement to take effect. Firefighters will no longer need to have 24 hours accumulated for the buyback to take effect.
There was also an increase in two incentive payments. Basic EMT qualified firefighters will see an increase from $0.10 to $0.21, and EMT intermediate pay will be raised from $0.21 to $0.31. All of the 30 fire suppression employees of the fire department have the required basic EMT qualifications. Union President Dave Tomlinson said there are six to eight employees with intermediate qualifications.
Tomlinson said the agreement keeps Ardmore in the middle of its "universe" of comparative cities in the state. A universe consists of the five cities in population above Ardmore and the five below.
"You always like more; we feel like we are doing pretty good," Tomlinson said. "We are average, and we used to be the lowest. You want to be better than in the middle, but the economic recovery is slow."
Tomlinson said conditions began to improve for the fire department with a bargaining agreement spanning 2007 to 2011.
"We made leaps and bounds to get in the middle of our universe, and we have stayed there," Tomlinson said. "Our goal is to get to the top, and we feel like we do an excellent job."
One area Tomlinson would like to see improvement in is manpower, which lies outside the bargaining agreement. The department employs shifts that can have a maximum of 10 of the 30 fire suppression employees on the city payroll. That also includes shift supervisors.
"Most everybody in our universe has more manpower," Tomlinson said. "It's something we don't have any control over. Hopefully, there will be an examination of that in the next few years.
"We know it's bad times. We know the city is doing better than some. We need to get back to levels before the economic downturn."
Watts and Finance Director Ken Campbell represented the city in the negotiations. Kyle Hallum, Pen Phillips, Chad Mansfield and Tomlinson represented the union.
The negotiations for this fiscal year were wrapped up more quickly than last year. Ardmore City Manager J.D. Spohn said the city was appreciative of the way negotiations were conducted, and commended the agreement that has been set in place.
"We appreciate the work everyone did in the negotiations," Spohn said. "The professionalism and service the fire department displays in protecting the citizens of Ardmore does not go unnoticed or unappreciated."
