Chevrolet Repair Questions? Ask a Chevy Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello and thank you for using Just Answer
the most common cause is the Air Temp Motor (Driver Side)
you can try a re-calibration of the system to see if that helps if not you need to remove the Air Temp Motor and inspect the linkage if connection is good replace the Air Temp Motor
Click here for more information on Air Temp Motor
recalibration can be tried by by pulling the HVAC/ECAS fuse for 30 seconds, then turning the ignition on for one minute. if that does not work you can also try removing both battery cables and hold them together for a few seconds.
if recalibration does not help the Temp Motor is the most common problem

This is about the artist while she was growing up. Works shown are pre-professional.
Mathilda Ann Tanner was born April 6, 1977 in Red Bank NJ, and moved with her parents to Westboro MA in August 1977, where she attended school from nursery school through high school. She exhibited artistic talent early, winning a children's Halloween art contest in the tri-town local weekly newspaper at age 7.
In middle school, Mathilda was named "artist of the year" in both 7th and 8th grades. She also earned summer pocket money by making paintings of people's cottages on Martha's Vineyard.
In high school, she was termed "the best artist I ever taught" by John B. Hayes, art teacher with (then) over 25 years of experience. She was asked by her classmates to be yearbook art director.
Like most high-school girls, Mathilda asked permission to paint her room, with surprising results:
Entered into the annual Boston Globe Scholastic Arts Contest, she won "Gold Key" awards both for an oil collage and her total portfolio submitted – and is still the only student ever to win two Gold Key awards in the same year.
Mr. Hayes risked giving Mathilda an entry form into annual Arts Worcester exhibit, in which numerous adult artists are initially not accepted through juried entry, and her ceramic sculpture "The Truth about Pottery," was accepted into the exhibit.
While in college at UMass/Amherst, Mathilda entered a self-portrait into the Westboro Fine Arts show and won first prize.
While vacationing with her family on Martha's Vineyard in 1994 when she was seventeen Mathilda demonstrated her artistic skill to Geoffrey Borr, potter and proprietor of Chilmark Pottery. The demonstration piece she created immediately sold for $350 and Mathilda was hired! She workd as Artist in Residence at Chilmark Pottery during her shih school, college, and teacher's summer vacations.
Her works at the pottery have been exhibited at Shaw Cramer Gallery in Vineyard Haven.
One piece "Four Seasons", an incised vase, was chosen as the full-page frontispiece for a feature article "Potteries of the Cape and Islands" published in Cape Cod Life magazine. It later sold for $1,400.
Her works have been entered numerous times in the annual Agricultural Fair in Chilmark, Martha's Vineyard, and have won first prize every time except once – the exception being when the judges told her that she deserved 1st prize but that "she was discouraging other artists, and anyhow, they wanted to give the prize to a 92-year-old entrant".
In her first year at UMass/Amherst, Mathilda entered a design for T-shirts for the school's "Sonic Sol" festival, and won:
Television producers noticed her mural at Korova Milk Bar in New York City and asked to meet her, and then enlisted her to be the feature in an episode of "Date Patrol" on The Learning Channel. Some of her paintings were shown in the episode, and she also created a work at an easel set up in Grand Central Station on the show.
Arriving in New York in August 2001, Mathilda secured commissions and some sales almost immediately, only to see some evaporate in the economic downturn following the terror attack of September 11, 2001. So, she got herself a job at the art supply house Pearl Paint, on Canal Street in New York.
But a retail job is no living, especially in New York City. Mathilda made the decision to apply to the New York City Teaching Fellows (NYCTF) program. NYCTF has over 30,000 applicants each year, but fewer than 10 percent are accepted into the program. The process is daunting – first an essay must be judged highly enough to get the applicant into a full day of interviews. Then, the applicant must be favored with all five of the interview panels. Finally, the applicants getting that far must pass two exams similar to the SAT or GMAT exams. And in Mathilda's case, and administrator's error assigned her to a third exam, one which was to have been taken only after a summer's college course. But Mathilda took and passed all three exams at the same sitting.
NYCTF students must have a 4-year undergraduate degree other than a degree in education. Mathilda has a Bachelor of Fine Arts (cum laude) from U/Mass at Amherst. The students attend graduate classes for two summers and two years of nights, after which they attain a Master's degree in Education. They are required to interview for a school job at the conclusion of their first summer session, which includes practice teaching in summer school. On her way to the job fair, administrators at Harry S Truman High School in the Bronx stopped her and said that they wanted to hire her for their school.
In her first teaching year, Mathilda taught special education 9th grade environmental science. She was tremendously successful and popular both with the school administration and with students. (Many NYCTF graduates can't handle the real-world teaching stress and drop out.) During her first summer vacation, Mathilda was told that her assistant principal had shown the principal her Web site, and that the principal's reaction was "why don't we have Mathilda teaching art?"
Starting the 2005-06 school year, Mathilda taught three daytime art classes and two special education science classes, and also two elective after-school art classes. But, during mid-year, NY City cut school budgets, and that eliminated her art classes, and she was reassigned to be a resource room teacher in their place.
Also in the 2005-06 school year, she was the art director for the after-school art students' Animé Club who created the school's first all-student permanent mural.
She said "I love working with these talented kids, and I can't wait until the murals are complete and I can post photos of them for the whole world to enjoy."
In 2009 Mathilda left teaching to manage Chilmark Pottery on Martha's Vineyard.
In 2010 she moved to Black Mountain NC, near Asheville NC to start a career as an independent artist d/b/a Firefly Arts.

text: Posted October 11, 2013 Reports are surfacing from all over the place that there is a case of MRSA, commonly known as Staph infection, going around the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The NFL's Ian Rapoport reports that in addition to kicker Lawrence Tynes, guard Carl Nicks was diagnosed with MRSA on Thursday and cornerback Jonathan Banks was diagnosed on Friday. Here's why you should care: the Eagles play the Buccaneers on Sunday. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the NFL Players' Association may recommend not playing the game on Sunday depending the outcome of a report on the MRSA containment of Raymond James Stadium. http://www.whizwitsports.com/1/post/2013/10/buccaneers-players-contract-mrsa-may-not-play-v-eagles.html Rick Stroud @NFLSTROUD 1h Bucs GM Mark Dominik said they have a third case of MRSA. Team has been in contact with NFL and NFLPA. Rick Stroud @NFLSTROUD 1h With 3 known cases of MRSA among Bucs players and none known among 31 other NFL clubs, the team does not believe the workplace is unsafe. Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 1h NFLPA tells @wingoz that, depending on what MRSA containment report says, the NFLPA could advise Bucs-Eagles not to play this weekend. nflpa may advise that the game not play this week in tampa...which would really suck for them because: Rick Stroud @NFLSTROUD 10 Oct #Bucs game with the Eagles Sunday is a complete sellout, the team announced. how often does that happen? seriously, it's not a disease that you want to mess around with. lawrence tynes is out for the year and carl nicks is out indefinitely and it's probably going to be the same for banks and mrsa can do some real damage. still, it's almost comical what's happened with that team this year. it would be a shame not to be able to capitalize on it.

It'll seem like I'm leaving
Going forward is sweet and just what I deserve
After it all, a nice fruit preserve?
Go back is STRESSED
Lose one of the three s's to get DESERTS
Forward is DESSERTS which are sweet and getting your Just desserts means getting what you deserve.
A fruit preserve can be served as a dessert.

Parkway Bowl
When Toronto native Thomas F. Ryan invented five-pin bowling in 1909, it caught on so quickly that soon Canadian geese began travelling in flying V formations to show their support for both the sport and the newly discovered concept of aerodynamics. And today, at Parkway Bowl, visitors can enjoy the game however they please, lacing up shoes on one of the 20 five-pin lanes or four hybrid lanes that toggle between five- and tenpin setups. Bowlers can also add bumpers to compensate for poor aim or attend glow-in-the-dark bowling sessions to compensate for poor outfit choices.

During grooming sessions, certified groomers treat small ($50), medium ($55), or large ($60) dogs to bathing, drying, and brushing.
Sonoran Desert Pet Resort
Sonoran Desert Pet Resort's 1,500-square-foot, air-conditioned indoor dog park simulates the outdoors with the same artificial turf used for professional football fields so pooches can wrestle, dive for balls, or perform elaborate touchdown dances safely during daycare hours.
Overnight guests bed in private rooms, some equipped with televisions playing soothing music, movies, or the NYSE ticker. They enjoy two meals a day, playtime with dogs of similar size and temperament, and air-conditioned quarters. Feline patrons lounge in two-room suites; their litter boxes are in a separate area from sleeping quarters, which are both well ventilated.
Pet parents can also opt for extras for their pooches, such as more one-on-one time with the human staff or a nice bone to gnaw on. Certified groomers primp four-legged friends with FURminator treatments to reduce shedding and ramped bathtubs for less stressful baths. Pets and owners can even attend the pet resort's training sessions to teach basic obedience or correct behavioral problems such as anxiety or refusing to salivate when a bell rings.

Drum Corps World was among the first companies to sign up with Drum Corps International to support the broadcast on ESPN2 that originally aired on Tuesday, September 6. The 30-second commercial was put together by DCW staff member Rob Sheiffele, a producer with the television program "Extra," and John Christensen, an independent filmmaker based in California, who recently completed a documentary on the Blue Devils called "11 1/2 Minutes."
ESPN2 will rebroadcast the first hour of the DCI program (with a new ending) on Tuesday, September 20, from 3:00 to 4:00 PM Eastern time. The second hour will be rebroadcast (with a new beginning) on Friday, September 23, from 2:00 to 3:00 PM Eastern time.
The full two-hour program and the two one-hour programs are expected to be reshown on ESPN2 additional times during the coming year.
Drum Corps World Publisher Steve Vickers is hoping to sign up many new subscribers for the newspaper during its 34th season of coverage. A special price for first-timers offers $10.00 off the regular prices for all six levels of mailing service.
Initial response has been very strong in the days following the September 6 showing and response to the Drum Corps World 30-second spot has been encouraging.
This is the first time the publication has advertised nationally in this way and Vickers said it is in large part to support DCI's efforts to bring the drum and bugle corps activity to a wider number of young people who might be interested in trying out for a group in their area and to encourage people who are exposed to the activity for the first time through the medium of television.
The ESPN2 network reaches 80% of homes with cable access and, according to DCI, the number of viewers anticipated will hopefully be considerably more than any previous telecast during its 30-year run on the PBS television network. This will be the first time that the program will be broadcast at the same time in all areas of the United States . . . 10:00 PM Eastern time, 9:00 PM Central time, 8:00 PM Mountain time and 7:00 PM Pacific time.
Your comments about the commercial are welcomed by sending an e-mail to Steve Vickers at email@example.com.
Enjoy the program, support your favorite corps and Drum Corps International!

I was told by the surgeon who did my Lifestyle Lift that he was doing a platysmaplasty. When I asked if he did, he said no. When I asked in person, he said he did a partial one. My neck looks loose and he said that's because the area of my tongue at the back of my throat is too large to create a tight neck. No one else seems to be getting this information about the tongue interfering in a good result. Any opinions?
Tongue Interfering with Lifestyle Lift Results?
Doctor Answers 2
Tongue and facelift results
I'm not sure why your surgeon would say this. The base of your tongue is related to the back of your throat. If you have swelling of your tongue base it can cause difficulty breathing and swallowing, it should have no bearing on the ability to tighten your platysma muscle.
As was mentioned by the surgeon below, there are many anatomical features that can inhibit the creation of a sharp neck and jawline, a large tongue would not be one of them. I would seek a second opinion.
Large tongue causing a full neck?
There are several other options that may interfere with obtaining a sharp neck angle such as a subcutaneous fat, lax platysma, sub-platysma fat, anteriorly located hyoid bone, small chin, prominent submandibular glands, etc.
However, large tongue base is not a commonly identified problem. This may be the case but typically a large tonge (macroglossia) obstructs the oral/nasal cavity or falls into the back of the throat: (glossoptosis).
You may want to obatin a second opinion to make sure your large tongue is not a sign of some other problem.

This Dad's Disneyland Costume Would Make Walt Disney Proud
If you want to dress up as a Disney character for Halloween, there are so many to choose from: Snow White, Cinderella, Aladdin, Tinkerbell, and a plethora of colorful villains are all popular choices. But Rob Cockerham wanted to take the whole "Disney costume" idea to the next level; he wanted to dress up as Disneyland. Like, literally the entire theme park. He created the whole thing himself out of foamboard, paint, and accurate maps of the park, giving his face a prime spot in Cinderella's Castle. Check out more photos of the finished product and the process at his website, and head over to YouTube to see a video of Rob's costume in action, narrated by his adorable son. [The Mary Sue]

It wasn't the best day for photography at Kennedy Space Center. The morning was overcast. The Sun played hide and seek with the clouds. Being a Saturday, KSC was largely lifeless.
But the absence of humanity also provided more freedom to shoot photos at places normally bustling with activity.
Below are photos I shot around the space center. I wanted to show you things you don't usually see, or different views of familiar faces.
The entrance to the Solid Rocket Booster Assembly and Reburbishment Facility on Schwartz Road just east of Kennedy Parkway.
The NASA Railroad Yard, looking north towards the Vehicle Assembly Building.
The three NASA locomotives. Looking south towards the railroad yard.
NASA locomotives 1 and 3.
A closer look at NASA locomotive 3.
The Processing Control Center with the Vehicle Assembly Building in the background.
Orbiter Processing Facility 2. The orbiter Endeavour is inside.
Orbiter Processing Facility 1. The orbiter Atlantis is inside.
OPF-1 looking towards the VAB.
OPF-3, the future home of the Boeing CST-100 crew capsule. Mobile Launch Platform 1 is in the background.
The west side of the VAB. High Bay 4 is on the left, High Bay 2 on the right.
An attempt at artistic expression. I think I failed.
The gate to High Bay 2. Note the crawlerway approaches HB-2 but not HB-4. Any future use of HB-4 will require an extension of the crawlerway.
The Utility Annex at the southwest corner of the VAB.
Another look at the Utility Annex. Watch your cigarette butts.
VAB on the left, Launch Control Center on the right. The LCC just got a new coat of paint.
A transporter crawler in the foreground, with OPF-3 behind it and the VAB in the distance.
Mobile Launch Platform 1 on the left, Space Launch System mobile launcher on the right.
The bottom of MLP-1. This platform launched Apollo 13, the last three Moon flights, and the first five Shuttle flights. Note the openings on the bottom for the Solid Rocket Booster exhaust.
MLP-1 to the north of the VAB.
A wormhole opens over the SLS mobile launcher tower. Actually, it's a high-speed image of the sun peeking through the clouds.
A more conventional view of the SLS mobile launcher tower.
The SLS mobile launcher platform. This platform was originally designed for the Ares I program.
The famous rocks that comprise the crawlerway surface. The rocks are harvested from the Alabama and Tennessee Rivers. The Launch Control Center is in the distance to the left, VAB High Bays 1 and 3 to the right.
Launcher Road at Ordnance Road. Not exactly Hollywood and Vine.
The south side of the VAB as seen from the KSC press site. That's the replica orbiter Explorer still waiting for Space Center Houston to send a barge to pick it up. They were due in February. What's the hangup, Houston?
The famous countdown clock.
The countdown clock from a less flattering angle.
The barge canal leading into the Turn Basin and the press site. This canal was the delivery route for the Saturn V stages and later the Space Shuttle's external tank.
The CBS News press facility at the press site. They're the only remaining TV network with a facility at this location.
This was one reason I was out shooting photos today. I wanted to find the location for this 1972 photo with Apollo 17 on the LC-39A pad. Image source: FloridaMemory.com.
This appears to be the location of the 1970s-era billboard listing Apollo launches.
The only remnant of the Apollo billboard.

A New Start: Lady Cats open district schedule on Friday vs. T-High
By BOBBY "BUTCH" BURNEY | News-Telegram Sports Editor
Jan. 3, 2008 - Sulphur Springs coach Tina Carrillo stacked the Lady Cats' final four non-district games with quality opponents to get them prepared for the district season. Tomorrow she gets to see if the strategy paid off.
The Lady Cats open District 11-4A on Friday by hosting Texas High, the team that beat them out for the third and final playoff spot last year. The games will start with the freshmen at 4:30 p.m., JV at about 6 p.m., and varsity at about 7:30.
The Lady Cats will take an 8-11 record into the meeting, having lost their last four contests. But, those games came against Class 2A's No. 2 team, Winnsboro; Class 5A schools Longview and North Mesquite, and then Royse City.
Three other Lady Cats losses have come against Princeton, No. 4 in Class 3A, and twice to Rockwall Heath, No. 9 in Class 4A.
Carrillo believes that while the Lady Cats' record isn't as impressive as last year's non-district mark (16-5), they will be better prepared for district after she improved the quality of their schedule.
"I think it's good practice for what's to come, what's down the road," she said. "It's good for us to see teams that are overly athletic and are better in some parts of their game than teams we're going to be playing in district."
They will open against a Texas High team that has struggled to a 4-12 mark while getting adjusted to a new coach and losing one of its best players a month ago. The Lady Tigers beat SSHS in a one-game playoff last year to see who would be the No. 3 seed in the district.
Getting off to a good start at home would be an advantage since the Lady Cats have to play four of their first six district games on the road. They travel to North Lamar (18-5), the No. 12-ranked team in the state, next Tuesday, then have to play arch rival Mount Pleasant on the road before returning home to host Lindale (14-6), the most improved team in the district.
The Lady Cats also want to end their current downward trend that has them losing nine of their last 11 games after beating Class 5A Allen 45-43 in overtime at the Winnsboro Hoop Fest Tournament.
Sophomore guard Stefanie Pruitt has emerged as the Lady Cats' top scorer, averaging 9.2 points per game. She also has hit a team-high 33 3-pointers. Senior Jessica Savage has hit 23 treys and is averaging 5.5 points per game.
Senior forward Stephanie Conley and junior guard Mackenzie Cross are both averaging over eight points per game. Conley also leads the team in rebounding at 10.7 per game, more than twice anyone else on the team. Cross, meanwhile, is the Lady Cats' leader in assists and steals.
