Greetings again! Here I am exploring new horizons again. I'll just explain to
you what you need to know about the Sony Playstation 2 Dual Shock 2
Controller (SCPH-10010). How to use it and how to take care of it for your
gaming pleasure. Hopefully, I'll be able to go as in-depth as I can to
explain it. If ever I commit any mistake, please feel free to send in your
corrections/suggestions. They will be most welcome.
Now, my goals in writing this FAQ is to let owners of PS2s to have a greater
experience by knowing more about the Dual Shock 2 Controller. Take note that
I'm putting everything in my own words. That means, I'll be explaining almost
everything from experience. Also, the layout I'll be using would be

Manufacturer: Sony
For use with: Sony Playstation 2 (tm) Console, Sony Playstation and PS One
Model no: SCPH-10010 u / 97026
Retail Price: $24.99
Just like its predecessor, the Dual Shock controller for the PS, the Dual
Shock 2 controller features vibration function and analog controls for the
Sony Playstation 2 Console. But then, the Dual Shock 2 looks the same as the
Dual Shock controller. They both have 2 Analog Sticks, X, Triangle, Square,
Circle, L and R buttons and a D-Pad all in the same location. The only
difference is the Analog Buttons (see its section below).
It's quite simple, just plug in your Controller in the Controller Slot 1 or 2
at the front of the console. 2 Grips are available for comfort in playing and
the buttons are well-placed so that you'll have easy access to all of them.
Now, with regards to the games, you can easily customize them (on most games)
within the game itself. If you want to switch to Analog Control, press the
Analog button in the center of the controller. The LED display will light up
beneath the button.
Analog controls will give you much stability and precision in your games.
Example, your character in a game will walk if you slightly push the analog
stick and runs when you push the stick all the way. Most likely, the Analog
functions work in harmony with the Directional Pad. Let's say you move using
the D-Pad and change the camera view using the Analog Stick.
This is a cool feature of the Dual Shock 2 Controller. Just like the Analog
Sticks, the Analog Buttons (X, Triangle, Square, etc.) will give you much
precision while playing. A perfect example would be racing games, where how
hard you press the button determines how the gas pedal is forced down. Unlike
in the PS, the buttons will only function 2 ways. Either activated or not.
The PS2 will let you take absolute control of the game. Although this is only
a supported feature, some games may not utilize it.
First of all, consider where you bought your Controller. If you bought it
from respectable stores (or online stores for that matter) you need not
worry. Samples are Toys 'r Us, Electronics Boutique, Amazon.com, and much
Now, to know if your controller is an original by looking at the controller
and packaging itself, you can do it in many ways. First, Original controllers
comes with your PS2 consoles so if you have only one controller, it's an
original one if it came from the console. Now, for retail controllers (those
that are sold separately), you can check it packaging by looking at the Sony
logo as well as the Playstation logos. You should also check the Model
number. The model number is SCPH-10010. Also, buying from friends or other
non-retail or wholesale person may net you a controller that isn't original.
So, don't be afraid to ask if it is an original one and ask them a proof that
it is definitely an original one.
1. Third Party Controllers
Right now, there are lots of third-party companies that make Dual Shock 2
controllers. Examples are Nyko, Pelican, Mad Catz, etc. These controllers
have their own design and thus they have their own advantages and
disadvantages from the Original Dual Shock 2.
Some advantages are Turbo Functions that enables your button to be pressed
numerous times by just holding the button. Another advantage is the
programmable function. You can program a button to function as 2 or more
buttons pressed at the same time. One more advantage is that some Controllers
are remote controlled so you can just relax and finally forget worrying about
tripping the cord of the controller. But most likely, the controls are
sluggish. That's the disadvantage. Another disadvantage would be comfort.
Some controllers (no offense) are designed improperly and will give you
discomfort in holding them. Examples are: buttons are far away from each
other, the grips are too big, the grips are short, the buttons doesn't work
sometimes, the Analog Controls aren't precise, and sometimes the rubber of
the buttons wear out quickly.
It would hurt to buy third-party controller as they give new ideas on how to
control your game. What's not good is to buy bootleg controllers. Those that
try to copy the Dual Shock 2. First, they aren't supported by Sony in any
way, and most likely their performance is very much substandard.
2. Compatibility
If you may ask, the Dual Shock 2 CAN be used, I repeat, can be used on your
Playstation or PS One consoles. It works pretty much the same except for the
fact that PS games aren't capable of Analog button function as the PS2 does.
But you can just take it for fun and try it on your PS. =)
3. Warranty
The Memory Card has a 90-day warranty from Sony. It is stated that it is only
applicable in the US or Canada only and factory defects are the only ones
covered by the warranty. Accidents aren't covered in most cases but it's rare
(examples are: when you have your Controller shipped through a Courier
Service and the damage was incurred during its delivery).
What will void your warranty? Here are some instances. Opening up the
controller and modifying or replacing the contents of the controller,
accidents such are tripped cord (by tripping from it or cutting it
deliberately) and button wear out. Basically, just do what the Dual Shock 2
is intended for and you'll be just fine. Dual Shock and Dual Shock 2s are
known for longevity.
Proper care of your Playstation 2 Dual Shock 2 Controller will ensure long
life. I'll enumerate everything in this section according to what you should
do and what you must not do.
Things you should do...
1. Before playing, plug in your controller firmly and gently in and out the
controller port of the Playstation 2 console.
2. When storing your PS2, remove the controller from the controller port.
3. Keep it in a safe place after usage where it has room temperature.
4. Placing the controller in the case or inside the PS2 box is also
Things that you must not do are...
1. Do not yank the controller by the cord.
2. Do not forcefully plug-in or pull-out the controller from the port.
3. Do not experiment on opening up your controller and mess around with
what's inside.
4. Do not dump/submerge it in liquids.
5. Do not try to cut the cord at any time.
6. Don't throw your controller or step on it when you lose.
7. Finally, do not try to cut the cord and do something that will enable it
on other systems.
As you can see there are a more things that you should not do than the things
you should do. There your have it, just follow these and I'm sure your Dual
Shock 2 Controller will live a happy long life.
Sometimes the inevitable happens and something weird happen to your
controller. There are lots of things involved here and I'll list the most
common problems you might encounter.
Problem: The controls aren't responding
Probable Causes: The controller is not plugged-in correctly. The controller
is damaged. You forgot to initialize the button setting for this
particular game.
Solution: Check that the controller is firmly placed in the controller port
and the best way to check if it is damaged is to test it in the
menu of the Sony Playstation 2. If it works, try to set the button
configuration in your game.
Problem: My controller doesn't fit in the controller port
Probable Causes: You're using a non-PS2 controller
Solution: Read the manual of your controller and make sure it is compatible
with your console.
Problem: The controls are sluggish and respond quite late
Probable Causes: The controller may be worn-out
Solution: First, check with various games if the controller is still
sluggish. If it is, then there's a possibility that you need a
replacement for your controller. Of course, this happens very
rarely and will be likely to occur after years of usage.
Problem: The vibration function doesn't work
Probable Causes: The controller is damaged, you didn't activate the vibration
function in a particular game you're playing.
Solution: Check if you enabled the vibration function within the game you're
playing. Take note that some does not support vibration function.
If it is enabled and the controller doesn't vibrate during times
when it should be, the controller is most likely to be already
worn-out. You may need to buy a new controller to have a vibration
Problem: The cord accidentally fell off, or cut
Probable Causes: accidents or the one you bought is substandard
Solution: When the cord is cut, you can still repair it yourself by
connecting the different wires with matching colors. If it doesn't
work, you'll need to buy a new controller. Also, some bootleg, or
even third-party controllers, have substandard controller where the
wires aren't attached correctly and might induce the falling off of
your controller's cord.
Problem: My Dual Shock 2 doesn't work on my PS
Probable Causes: Third-party or bootleg controllers
Solution: This happens mostly on third-party or bootleg controllers. So my
advice is, use an original one from Sony.
Problem: The Analog stick doesn't work and the indicator isn't lit
Probable Causes: The controller is damaged. You forgot to activate the analog
Solution: Check the Analog function of your sticks on various games and
configure them to use Analog controls. If you can't activate it in
the game, or even by pressing the button in the indicator, your
controller's analog functions might be defective. But most of the
time, when this happens, you can still use the other buttons.

Market Basket Customers to Counter Execs With Own Full-Page Ad
Market Basket took out a full-page advertisement in Thursday's Boston Globe, advertising job fairs next week.
The company's two CEOs issued a statement Wednesday saying they "need'' workers back by August 4, and that they would advertise jobs with the expectation some employees would choose not to come back.
The ad, which ran in multiple newspapers, lists several headquarter positions—accounting for most of the employees who have actually stopped working, or who have already been fired. Most of Market Basket's store employees have still been going to work, but with an ongoing customer boycott they haven't had much to do.
It also lists store manager positions (in Market Basket lingo, a general manager is called a store director). Most store managers have signed a petition saying they will quit if Arthur T. Demoulas is not ultimately reinstated as CEO.
The ad from Thursday's Globe is below.

A group of Market Basket customers say they intend to take out a full-page ad of their own in The Lowell Sun this weekend. The ad would say customers plan to continue their boycott of the company until employees' demands are met. Customers are raising money to do so on GoFundMe.com. They have raised about $10,000 as of 4:30 p.m.
Sun publisher Mark O'Neil confirmed to Boston.com that the customer ad is scheduled to run in the Saturday paper, and that a second ad may run on Sunday depending on how the fundraising goes.

Honda Accord (1990-1993) Maintenance and Repair
pandia1 Posts: 1I am proud of the choice made ~ 15 years ago to buy this. Pity the SE leather was a '93. Chose the EX because I wanted the sunroof - every other perk like alloy wheels, etc., were icing. The alternate was the really "fabulous but expensive V6 Maxima'. At 119000 miles, TLC and "JUST HONDA" quality has kept this a beauty.
A major problem, literally affecting about a million cars 2nd to 4th generation honda Accords! At the start,(like U&I pay attention!) D4 starts flashing - code -15 , AND the car cruising at 50-70mph suddenly quits the transmission, and speed drops quickly to 20mph before limping to a stop - life threatening on a major road. !#*$^! Honda is too good a company to be so so stupid about this. Remember the "K" cars.
The problem is the A/T TCU-TCM. A $4 to $40 issue! Labor is about 0.5 billable hours!!! A small component of the "TCU" is blown like an old-time transister! My friendly local mechanic actually pulled the whole unit, opened the A/T Unit and pointed out the blown piece to me. The Honda factory price is $519.74, plus labor, misc., pushing a grand - my car's retail cost - $4,540 - for an excellent car!
My kingdom for a horse shoe-nail comes to mind! All every one, dealer or eBay, does is replace a $5-$15 dollar unit on the board! This is why the internet, eBay or even the dealer wants you to , respestively, WANT YOU to return the old A/T TCU or ask you to send them the unit, fix it, and turnover is two days! Just one burnt component on a circuit board! `
So, find some kid with soldering skill, a 'shack visit, and all is fine. Concurrent solenoid/s may need replacement, not related to the life-or-death A/T TCU. hONDA WILL NOT SELL JUST THE IC-BOARD. The A/T unit we see is just a very good housind for the board. This is the actual part number from Accord book, and the price from Honda's eStore: CONTROL UNIT, AT 28100-PX0-731 or 28100-PX0-732 - both priced $519.74. Then, labor costs! The ECU is attached but is not affected, and that costs $893.22!
Since the numbers involved are maybe milions, why did Honda recall and fix the circuit board? How come hundreds of lawyers are not filing CLASS-ACTION suits?
Does someone have to die or numerous maiming "accidents" have to happen, before the fiasco of the K cars are repeated?!
forkball88 Posts: 2hey i was wondering if by any long shot if Honda offered any type of discount or any noterity given to cars that crack the 300k mark. my accord is close to breaking 300k and is running fine aside from the regular maintanence and oil changes this car has been running fine on the same transmisson.
i was thinking of sending honda an email and photo of my car's life story and how it has endured throughout the years. what do you think the chances of getting anything from HONDA are?
Congrats on your good care of your car---I really don't think though that this will impress Honda all that much, but they might send you something, what the heck, why not?

chan5 Posts: 1I have a 93 Accord, Anniversary edition.
When I turn the AC switch on, the condenser fan does not run. however, when the engine temp goes up, both fans (condenser and radiator) run.
Is the condenser fan not supposed to run when ever the AC is on.
I was charging my AC system, and noticed that the Cond fan wasn't turning and it took for ever for the 134 freon to charge. When the raciator fan kicked in, the charge started filling.
I am wondering if there is any specific relay that turns the cond fan when AC is turned on.
Help from the Forum will be greatly appreciated.
i have a 90 honda accord lx. Its bee running warm recently, but that was attributed to the timing belt being adjusted too high. Unfortunately i discovered steam coming from under the hood and a hot spring coming from a small crack in the top of the radiator, and another at the top of the overflow resevuare. I was told the radiator was metal, it turns out its plastic. Why is water coming out of the top of the overflow bottle when the bottle is not even half full and is there a patch made for the radiator for a short term fix? :confuse: :lemon:
thegraduate Posts: 9,731It won't be their first 300k mile car, that's for sure, but it is notable! I read (in Motor Trend) of a 1994 Accord Manual Tranny Coupe that managed 1,100,000 before being sold; still running fine. All the guy had replaced was clutches, the instrument cluster, and regular maintenance done. I saw pictures of it, as well as the odometer - it read something like 700,000 - the first one, like my 1996 LX, had died, although mine played out at 111,000 miles, not 400,000 like his.
merkle Posts: 1songbyrd,
I had a similiar problem last summer with my 95 accord. Small crack in top of radiator, driving from Florida to St. Louis - got stuck in Tennessee. What happens is the radiator crack opens up at high temps, your coolant will leak out and the car will overheat. There is a patch kit made for this, costs about $10. It got me back on the road and seemed to be work fine. I happened to meet a radiator guy at a rest stop. He suggested replacing the radiator when I got off the road, to avoid further problems. A non-honda radiator was about $130, good for my piece of mind. I think the patch would've held for a long time, didn't want to risk it though. It's basically a piece of fiberglass mesh and an epoxy paste - rough up the crack and apply.
Don't know about the overflow bottle. I'd guess the steam is forcing the water out? Take care of that radiator, else major complications.
Plastic radiator was a shock to me. I was looking to solder the thing.
speedingaccord Posts: 1I drive a 93 accord LX and it does not overheat but it get close to the red on the temp gauge, I noticed that it only happens when I drive it for about 90-100mi and thats when it starts to warm up like that, no steam coming from under the hood I had that once and I replaced the hoses and radiator, the car has 191,000mi on it, the car does not warm up in town I only drive to school and back its about a 13min trip. Could it be the thermostat? Any help will be appreciated... thanks
thanks, and the plastic radiator shocked me as well. I wanted to sauder it as well. I had an old chevy s-10 that cracked in the same place but that was a simple solution being that it was metal. Do you think that it could the hoses running to the overflow tank that would make it run out of the top and not the bottom. If the water is not getting to the bottle it has to go somewhere right? could a hole in the hoses or them dry rotting cause the water not to get to the bottle?
Hello :
I have a 1993 accord EX (140K miles) that spilt a lot of oil today and was smoking as well.
Any idea what the problem could be ? Am hoping the fix will not be over the value of the car
Where was the oil spitting out from?
If it was out the tail pipe, my guess would be a head gasket.
Check your oil and see if you see any coolent in it, check the radiator and see if there is any oil in it. If so, head gasket is shot.
You can also do a compression check to see if one cylinder is leaking.
Thanks for the tip -
The oil is dripping from the front of the engine and does not seem to have any coolant in it ... guess i'll have to take it to the mechanic - don't know what estimates he'll come up with the car is probably worth $3500 ... and don't have to spend a huge amt.
wfrese Posts: 1Hello every one
I'm new to this forum, and I'm hoping someone can help me out with a somewhat extensice question. I have a 1993 Accord EX with about 160,000 miles on it. Overall, the car is in excellent condition and has ALWAYS been maintained well.
A couple of week ago, the I was driving the car as usual (and it was acting as usual), and while slowing down to a stoplight, the engine just suddenly cut-out, and when I tried to restart it, it would turn-over, but not start. Anyhow, the car ended-up getting towed, and the mechanic said it was the distributor. The car got a rebuilt distributor, and life went on as normal...
I had been driving the car around for a week,and had noticed that the engine was a little 'peppier' than normal (i.e: the car didn't really want to slow down when braking--it was like I was braking while still pressing the gas), but I thought that might just be due to the new part.
Long story short, later that week, and about 60 miles later, the car did the SAME thing. The engine suddednly cut-out, and would not restart.
So I had the car towed a SECOND time within that same week, and this time the mechanic is not sure what is wrong with it...
Here's what I do know: The 10 Amp ECU fuse located in the fuse box under the cars hood (passanger side) is reportdly the culprit; it keeps blowing, and when it is replaced the car starts. The mechanic reportedly tested all the electronics and the car's computer, and said that everything is reportedly working fine--hence he can not find the problem causing the short. He said that he could try replacing the ECU, but he was not sure if that would fix the problem since his tests siad it was reportedly working, and realizing I had just spent $$$ for a distribitor, he did not want to make mne [ay for possibly needless repairs.
Instead of a 10 Amp fuse, he put a 25 Amp fuse in the ECU slot (yes, I know this is a bad thing...), and the car will RELUNCTANTLY work. I.E: everytime I am driving and press the break to slow down the engine's RPMs will go down, and the car will sputter/choke like it is going to die, and then when the brake is firmly press the car seems to self recover...
I have done a series of 'experiments' and anything less than a 25 amp fuse will blow. Furthermore, this only occurs when the car is in drive, and the brake is then applied. I can drive it in reverse (or have it sit in neutral) and press the brake and nothing happens. Furthermore, the car can idle forever, I can slam on the gas or 'coast' to stop and nothing will happen.
So any thoughts?
1)Is there a ground thats bad?
2)Is the ECU really bad, despite the check reportedly being OK?
3)What is an ECU anyway, and how much will it cost? Given the recen distributor, I can't afford much more right now.
4)Is it possible this rebuilt distributor is causing this (I asked my meachanic this aand hes says definitely not--although I'm having trouble beliving him since this is when the trouble began...)
5) Is there any way I can at least quich-fix this problem to drive it to another garage? The car won't make it beyond the driveway without blowing a fuse, and I really, really do not want to drive it with the 25 amp fuse since I know that may potentially be shorting out other electrical circuits.
Pleas Help!!
mbkaiser Posts: 2I just recently bought 1990 accord 140K miles. Ran great all week, but had to rewire the radio. Got it home, and went to start, and the clutch was on the floor. I could get the car to start, but the clutch has no tension. I never blew a clutch before, thought it might be a fuse or relay. Is that how blown clutches act? What is a typical cost for repair. :confuse:
Probably the hydraulic clutch slave cylinder. Check the clutch fluid reservoir and I bet you'll find it quite empty.
Not a big deal. If you need a new clutch slave installed, maybe...I dunno....$150? If the clutch MASTER cylinder is bad, then you probaly want to also replace the slave cylinder, too...so maybe $300-$350 for all that.
Your clutch is probably fine, it's just the one or two pumps that help your foot move it.

Hi everybody!!!
I've got a '93 Accord LX with a new AC compressor I put in last August. The system was evacuated and charged with R134, and worked fine afterwards- until now...
In fact, nothing happens when I try to turn the A/C on. Not even the evaporator fan works... I'm thinking it's something electrical.
Are there any simple things I can check before taking it to the mechanic?
My guess is you lost your charge.
I'm assuming you ment the fan by the condensor, not evaporator. The Condensor is by the radiator, the evaporator is inside the car in the ductwork.
Condensor fan- that's what I meant. Even if the charge is lost, shouldn't the clutch on the compressor at least engage?
Clutch slave, master cylinder (I knew it was a bad sign when the only think in the reservoir was a few broken bits of rubber o-ring) on a 93 EX. Was timed really poorly (couldn't fix it myself) and ended up being ~$450 from the Honda dealer (oh and that included 2 new radiator hoses). The car only had about 75k on it at the time though.
I'm not an expert at A/C systems in cars, but for what I've run into, most (maybe all) A/C systems in cars have a pressure switch that keeps the compressor from running when the system is out of refrigerant. If the system was empty, and the leak was on the low pressure side, running the compressor could draw outside air (and moisture) into the system. That can cause alot of damage.
1993hondaex Posts: 1I have a 93 accord ex. It ran fine until my alternator went out. I changed the alternator today and belts. it started fine, but a belt needed adjustment. So like an idiot I didn't disconnect the battery and used a steel bar to nudge the alternator out a little, well it touched a piece on the alternator and sparks came form the battery. I then tried to start it and no power anywhere, lights horn, windows, locks all out. I cahnged out the battery after and nothing. Then I checked all the fuses inside and under the hood. I did find the battery fuse blown an 80A, then changed that. I even tried to jump the battery but still nothing. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
nomikal Posts: 3Car: 1990 Honda Accord LX automatic
Ok, the problem is that sometimes when I start my car the rpms in the tachtometer fluctuate up and down from around 1,000 rpms to 2500-3000 rpms or so. I'm not sure as to what the problem is?
-Thanks ahead of time.
doesn't the compressor need refrigerant and associated oil for lubrication and sealing? having the clutch not engage is a good thing when pressure is lost. i agree with you mrbill. amazon has probably got a good leak somewhere.
This is weird.... YOu touched a part of the alternator, and you shorted something???
BTW, there's no need to use a pry bar when adjusting the belts. Just loosen the nu holding the shaft under the alternator (shaft positioned parallel to the alternator), and use a 10mm socket with a ratchet on teh adjustment bolt (Perpendicular to the alternator) under the alternator and tighten the belt.
tom1sharon2 Posts: 40It appears that while prying on the alternator you somehow made contact with the output terminal. This wire connects to the battery through the 80A fuse in the fuse block.
If your entire electrical system is dead, it is
very likely that you fried the positive battery cable connecting to the fuse block before the fuse could blow (as evidenced by the sparks coming from your battery terminal). Hopefully this is the only damage.
To check this, use a multimeter or test lamp and check for 12 volts at the two input terminals on the forward side of the fuse block.
nathaneddy Posts: 3Could this be the same for a 93' Accord? One day last week my car wouldn't start with out cranking it longer than usual. I would crank for about 10-15 seconds and then turn it off. I tried not to panic and tried again. About the thrid time doing this it started right up. I havn't driven it for a week because I wasn't trusting it. I just got in it just a bit ago and it started right up every time. I know that what ever it is I can pretty much rule out the battery because it cranks, the starter because it sounds good and is trying to start, the main relay because I can hear it building pressure. I don't think a tune up would hurt but still probably not the problem. I feel like it is just either not getting gas or it is getting gas and not firing. That leaves me with a fuel pump or distributor right? If you or anyone else out there knows or has any ideas please let me know.
I would check for spark. You can get these gizmos that go inline with the spark plug wire before the plug itself from HFT that will flash when the spark goes through. If that flashes, you have spark.
I have had a few of these and never had a fuel pump go out. The main relay I have replaced on each. There is a procedure in the Haynes manual to test for voltage at the fuel pump. When you turn the key from off to on before crank, you should hear the pump kick on. If you don't, my guess would be you aren't getting gas and you need a main relay.
Relay is $70 and is on the inside of the firewall above the clutch. It took me about 45 minutes to change the thing (you have to take the plastic cover under the bottom of the dash off).
BTW, I did a post mortem on the relay. It has solder cracks around two of the terminals where there wasn't enough material to support thermal loading. Had I known, I would've just pulled the existing one, re soldered all the connections and put it back in. This is a pretty common problem of you google for it.
donswartz Posts: 28Please help me. I have a 1991 honda accord and my seat belt lights flashes and the alarm sounds. I have automatic belts. When I open the passenger's side door the sound and blinking will still continue. When I open the driver's side door it stops. When it is blinking and flashing I disconnect the driver's side selt belt and nothing happens and if I disconnect the belt on the passenger's side the light goes solid. I have taken out both seats. The harnesses below the seats are contected. I plugged and unplugged the wires from the seat belt control unit under the passenger's seat. I have read a lot of people are having problems with this just haven't been able to find the answer. Please I beg you please help. Thanks.
"Please I beg you please help" is rather desperate. That chime must really annoy you.
perhaps there are limit switche(s) in the belt runs that detect end of travel.
maybe one of them is disconnected or broken. here's a picture:
http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/jsp/mws/prddisplay.jsp?inputstate=5&cat- cgry1=Accord&catcgry2=1991&catcgry3=4DR+LX&catcgry4=KA4AT&catcgry5=SEAT+BELT+%28- 1%29
this diagram seems to suggest only one switch per belt run at the front of travel (closest to the front of the car). hazarding a guess, the switch isn't changing continuity as the belt moves off the full open position towards the "buckled-up" position at the back of the door/window frame.
looks like the switches are pretty cheap. installing / removing them? dunno if it's a DIY project or not. i suppose if i could get at the switch and determine how it functioned, i might modify the circuit to bypass it (don't know off hand if that means shorting the contacts together, or making sure they are always seperated. but the $22.00 is probably worth it to fix it rather than mod it.
swoopineagle Posts: 3I just bought a 1990 Honda Accord EX. it has 225,000 miles on it. it is just a work car. I drove it to work, after about 3 hours I left work and my car would not start. It would just turn over. I left the car there and came back to get it 1 1/2 days later. I tried to start it, and it started fine. I then changed out the spark plugs, air filter and changed the oil. I drove for about 1 week. Then I was going home from work and I made a stop to turn around and the car quit. It would not re-start. I came back to it the next day. And I replaced the fuel filter. It still will not start. I sprayed starting fluid in the air intake line and the car would start for a second, then quit. I beleave I am not getting any fuel. But I have been told there are many reasons why I would not be getting fuel. Is there anyone out there that would now what would be wrong. Or how to test the parts to see if they are working. Like the fuel pump. Please help. Thank You

180K+ miles and still runs strong.
* one bad coil
* many EGR cleanings
* oil change every 5000 miles
* hit it hard to redline quite often, actually...
Sounds like a reliable motor to me...

yeah, i've had mine almost 100k miles now on it. (only had it for the last 15k or so). only problem ive had is EGR.
if you get it, make sure to REPLACE and NOT CLEAN it. There are revised egr valves, Mazda N/A even admitted to the problem, and manufactured new ones.
Cleaning will only give you another 6 months before the CEL comes on again..
They will go as long as you let them. Regular maintenance and don't drive it like a meat head and it'll be fine. Although I bought mine @ around 80k miles and around 87k I bent a cam and threw a rod into my block. (protest) But I got a new block under warranty... 24k on the new motor.

Thierry Henry denied Friday that he was a cheat but said the "fairest solution" would be to replay the France-Ireland World Cup playoff that was decided by his hand ball.
Henry set up the deciding goal for William Gallas by controlling the ball with his hand in Wednesday's 1-1 draw at the Stade de France. The goal in extra time gave France a spot in next year's World Cup with a 2-1 aggregate victory over Ireland after two legs of the playoffs.
"Of course the fairest solution would be to replay the game but it is not in my control," Henry said in a a statement.
Earlier Friday, world governing body FIFA rejected a request by the Football Association of Ireland for the game to be replayed.
Henry admitted he handled the ball and felt embarrassed at how France qualified for the World Cup at the expense of Ireland.
"I have said at the time and I will say again that yes I handled the ball," he said in the statement issued to British media. "I am not a cheat and never have been. It was an instinctive reaction to a ball that was coming extremely fast in a crowded penalty area."
"I have never denied that the ball was controlled with my hand," Henry said. "I told the Irish players, the referee and the media this after the game."
The Barcelona striker expressed sympathy for the Irish.
"Naturally, I feel embarrassed at the way that we won and feel extremely sorry for the Irish who definitely deserve to be in South Africa," he said. "There is little more I can do apart from admit that the ball had contact with my hand leading up to our equalizing goal and I feel very sorry for the Irish," he said.

Fashion Dean Simon Collins To Leave Parsons
Beloved Parsons dean of the school of fashion, Simon Collins, sent out an email yesterday evening telling friends that he'll be leaving his role later this year. (Say it ain't so!) How does one of fashion's coolest cats explain his exit? His words tell it best. Read the explanation for his departure from the e-mail he sent out.
"Dear friends,
It is with a little sadness, some trepidation, and with boundless energy and excitement that I can announce I will be stepping down from my role as Dean of the School of Fashion at Parsons at the end of the Fall semester in December of this year. While I will miss every moment of what we have done here I feel the time is right for a new person to take this role and assume leadership of the School of Fashion. In turn this will enable me to focus on my rapidly expanding professional practice.
These past six years have been the most rewarding and enjoyable of my professional life and I cannot begin to describe how much I have loved and learned throughout. There have been so many highs (plus one or two tricky moments) that I shall never cease to be amazed at how much joy and learning can be crammed into such a short period. I have been amazed, amused, delighted, shocked, humbled, impressed, disappointed, bemused, bedazzled, perplexed, educated and above all inspired by so many people, by so many of you, and I will be forever in your debt.
I am honored to have played a small role in the formation of the School of Fashion and to perhaps have helped a few people and projects along the way. I have forged lasting friendships with so many people inside and outside the school that I know will endure long into the future. I am humbled by the kind words I have heard through these years and I will be forever indebted to this fine and noble institution for all it has allowed me to do.
My future is as busy as these past six years have been, and while from January 1st 2015 I will no longer be Dean I will still be doing all I can to support Parsons.
Because, of course,
Ave atque vale,

it is exceptionally valuable Information furthermore fascinating, thank you for this offer with all and every one of us that what truly perfect. which we're discussing it! A debt of gratitude is in order regarding offering.
What a decent occupation here.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Peyton Manning worked his way back into the Indianapolis Colts lineup and through a couple of uncharacteristic quarters in the season-opener.
He hopes another week of practice will help him revert to his efficient MVP-like form.
The Colts' franchise quarterback acknowledged Wednesday he wasn't himself in Sunday night's season-opening loss to Chicago.
"Obviously, you don't want to tell the Bears, 'Hey, I'll be this percent before the game,' " Manning said. "But I knew I probably wouldn't be 100 percent for that game. Hopefully, I can just keep working each week and get more and more comfortable."
Even Manning, who has never missed a start in 11 NFL seasons, wasn't sure what to expect after the longest absence of his pro or college career.
He spent six weeks recuperating from mid-July surgery to remove an infected bursa sac in his left knee and missed all five of Indy's preseason games. Manning didn't begin full workouts with his teammates until last week.
That created questions about how quickly Manning could get back in synch with Pro Bowl receivers Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne, and tight end Dallas Clark.
Clearly, the timing was off last weekend. Manning and the receivers couldn't connect consistently on deep passes and never quite had that precision the Colts' offense is known for.
"It went somewhat like I thought it would. I thought it would take about a quarter-and-a-half or two quarters to get hit and get a little bit of a feel going," he said. "But it's disrespectful to the position and to the NFL, for how difficult it is, to think that you can not only play but not practice in the preseason and expect to be at your top level in Week 1."
Manning wasn't the only player struggling against Chicago.
Indy rushed for only 53 yards, compared with 183 for the Bears, and Chicago converted 10-of-16 third downs.
So if Indy is to avoid its first 0-2 start since Manning's rookie season in 1998, the two-time league MVP and coach Tony Dungy know improvements must come swiftly.
"It needs to be [better], and it better be because we're going to have to play a lot better and I think we will," Dungy said. "That's our goal going to work in practice, sharpening up and eliminating some of those things that were just a little bit off."
Complicating matters are the adjustments Indy must make for injuries.
Pro Bowl center Jeff Saturday returned to practice Wednesday, a little more than two weeks after injuring a ligament in his right knee. Saturday was expected to miss at least six weeks but after deciding against surgery, Dungy said there was a chance he could play against the Vikings.
If he does not play, the Colts would again be protecting Manning against a strong defense with three new starters on the line -- left guard Charlie Johnson, right guard Dan Federkeil and rookie center Jamey Richard. Johnson played at left guard for the first time last weekend, while Federkeil and Richard made their first NFL starts.
Plus, the Colts may be without Clark, who injured his right knee in the first half of Sunday's game when a Chicago player landed on his leg. Clark said Monday's MRI revealed no structural damage and that he wasn't sure whether he would play Sunday.
Clark did not practice Wednesday although Dungy said he could return to work Thursday.
If Clark can't go, the Colts would likely use three receivers, adding 2007 first-round pick Anthony Gonzalez to the lineup. The Colts have been successful with that strategy when Clark sat out in previous seasons.
The other option would be using Gijon Robinson and rookie Jacob Tamme as the two tight ends. Both made their NFL debuts last Sunday.
"I'm definitely doing everything I can to get ready, but I can't say one way or the other," Clark said.
The injury rash has even hit the coaching staff.
Offensive line coach Howard Mudd is expected to miss two weeks after undergoing surgery this week to help ease the pain he had from an earlier knee replacement. Assistant line coach Pete Metzelaars will replace Mudd at practice this week.
But the far bigger issue for Indianapolis is Manning and how quickly it will take him and the offense to get in synch.
"It's not like I had a choice of whether I played in the preseason or not," Manning said. "It wasn't one of these, 'I'm not going to play because I want to rest my legs.' It was a pretty good accomplishment in itself the fact I was able to get out there and play."

About the Mercury Cycle
Astrologers look at the position of Mercury to analyze the current mental chemistry of human beings. Mercury tells us about how the day-to-day details of life will be handled and how office relations will go. When Mercury is fast, such things proceed swiftly with few obstacles. When Mercury is retrograde there are obstructions and snarl-ups. Mercury forward (which astrologers call "direct") is for forward motion and starting new projects; Mercury retrograde is for rest and contemplation and cleaning up old projects.
Every year Mercury goes through its normal cycle three times. This cycle has several parts: first we see Mercury race forward ahead of the Sun. Then it slows down and turns retrograde, or backwards. The Mercury retrograde period lasts for about 3 weeks, during which the forward-moving Sun will pass backward-moving Mercury, and they will greet each other in a day of illumination. After another week or so, Mercury will slowly turn and start moving forward again. Then it will speed up and race to catch up with the Sun, greeting the Sun as it rockets past. Finally, it will slow again and turn retrograde. The whole of Mercury's cycle lasts about 4 months, while the retrograde part of that is only 3 weeks. Naturally, this means Mercury goes through this cycle 3 times a year.
Mercury's Current Status: Efficiency is High
During November of 2009, Mercury is moving forward at a swift pace. This helps us handle details smoothly and stay organized. It's a great time for meeting deadlines, planning long-term projects and generally getting a lot done. You won't find yourself facing the kinds of snarls that come up when Mercury is retrograde. This condition continues through March, until Mercury slows down in the middle of April, preparing to turn retrograde on April 17. But that is then and this is now, so enjoy the easy ride by getting as much done as you can and by handling and clearing as much paperwork as possible during February, March and early April.
Mercury retrograde epiphany day has happened—have you had your epiphany yet?
If you've read my blog much, you probably know by now that Mercury moves in cycles lasting four months, or three cycles a year. Mercury moves retrograde (or backwards) for about three weeks of that cycle, and forward for the rest. Twice during each cycle, Mercury crosses (conjuncts) the Sun, once while both are moving forward, the other while the Sun continues forward but Mercury is moving backward. Those days when Mercury conjuncts the Sun are days of epiphany.
The Sun, by the way, is always moving forward, never backward. If an astrologer ever tells you that you have the Sun retrograde, they are pulling your leg.
The Mercury cycle is great for working on projects. It is a cycle of nature that has a flow that is good for various parts of a project; using the Mercury cycle can be like getting on a ride that helps your project get done. Mercury's retrograde period is a reflective period, during which it's best to slow down and meditate on your project or do research, but to not expect to meet deadline or sign contracts. It's also a good time for cleaning up a project in anticipation of beginning a new one. During Mercury retrograde, deep thought builds up pressure and insights can break through in the right timing. The day Mercury conjuncts the Sun is a day when clarity has a good chance of descending on those who are watching for it.
Mercury is now retrograde, and crossed the Sun on September 19, 2009: that was Epiphany Day. Sometimes the light dawns on Epiphany Day itself, other times it happens up to 2 days early or late; yours may be past or it may still be in the works. Whether you've had your moment of clarity already or whether there is more to come, there's just one thing to do: ruminate on it, let it all come together in your mind. Let the wave break and carry you to the end of the Mercury retrograde period and the fruition of your project.
Mercury's epiphany day is here—have you had your epiphany yet?
If you've read my blog much, you probably know by now that Mercury moves in cycles lasting four months, or three cycles a year. Mercury moves retrograde (or backwards) for about three weeks of that cycle, and forward for the rest. Twice during each cycle, Mercury crosses (conjuncts) the Sun, once while both are moving forward (but Mercury is faster than the Sun), the other while the Sun continues forward but Mercury is moving backward. Those days when Mercury conjuncts the Sun are days of epiphany.
The Sun, by the way, is always moving forward, never backward. If an astrologer ever tells you that you have the Sun retrograde, they are pulling your leg.
The Mercury cycle is great for working on projects. Using the natural flow of the Mercury cycle can be like getting on a ride that helps your project get done. When Mercury is direct, as it is now, great forward progress can be made.
Today is July 13, 2009. Mercury is now moving forward, and crosses the Sun this evening around 7:18 PM Pacific time: today is Epiphany Day. Now is the time to bring your project to a culmination–the atmosphere is ripe for a peak of office energy and efficiency. Maybe you've had your moment of clarity already; maybe there is more to come. Look for and make use of it!
In the upcoming weeks, Mercury will continue moving forward, but will begin to slow down by the end of August, preparing to go retrograde in its usual way. At that time, the office energy will be winding down and preparing to hibernate. So get everything done that you can now, while it's easy and the astrological weather supports progress.

(Note to educators: In the following article, I use astrology to present a non-pathologizing view of differences in learning style among individuals. I hope you find it useful.)
Mercury, ruler of Gemini, is the part of your chart that tells what your learning style is. If you know what element your Mercury is in, you can get some marvelous clues to using your learning style to your advantage, so you can learn faster and more thoroughly. Obviously no one part of the chart can tell us everything about a person and so your Mercury sign cannot encompass all of you any more than your Sun sign can. Keeping in mind that you are a vast being of which your Mercury sign & element are just one small (if important) part, let's examine this interesting planet and its influence on you and your learning style. And if you don't know what sign Mercury occupies in your chart, you can use Astro.com to make your own chart and find out.
When you have Mercury in the Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), you learn by pratfall and adventure. Fire is spontaneous and action-oriented—you need the freedom to just try stuff and be ok with failing. You need to apply what you learned right away, so you can really take it in. Mercury in fire has a visual learning style and will do best when presented with the big picture first and the details later—in fact, the details will make no sense to you without the big picture to contextualize them and you won't be able to retain them without it. You'll also learn best if you can put your own creative stamp on the project, infusing it with your own personality. Fire signs enjoy being seen and showing off, so doing a presentation to the group about what you've learned can be a way of cementing your understanding of what you've learned.
Mercury in the Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) learns best by doing. Mercury/Earth is a kinesthetic learner. If this is you, you'll do best when you can proceed slowly and deliberately and learn in a deep, thorough way. Other types (especially Air) may have grasped the material while you can end the course feeling that there's still so much to learn and that the class only scratched the surface. Earth also does well when presented with a pre-created structure, a conceptual set of bins or a toolbox, into which the new ideas can fit. When presented with the structure first, you Earth types learn eagerly, because you're enjoying getting cool tools that go into the toolbox. Mercury/Earth types like learning things that have a real use and will retain information best when shown how to apply it. Useless ideas are . . . useless.
Mercury in Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) types love ideas for their own sake. If this is you, you'll embrace theories and have a love of the pure, pristine quality of a beautiful idea more than you have interest in applying it. You'll grasp ideas quickly and you'll like to keep moving, so you tend to skate over the surface while a subject's depths may not capture your quick-moving mind. Mercury/Air types like to learn the abstract notion behind a thing before thinking through its applications. Since the Air learning style leans toward auditory, you learn well from lectures, often grasping and retaining lesson material the first time it is delivered, without even taking notes (which is especially frustrating to Earth types, who can take notes religiously and Fire or Water types whose note-taking can be atrocious). Mercury/Air types are avid readers and often go on learning far beyond school, because they naturally love information and the written word.
If you have Mercury in the Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), you are an emotive learning type. You learn by feeling your way along. Your style is intuitive and you are capable of making great leaps and grasping material instantaneously or sometimes not at all. You may have muddled around in your childhood for years before figuring out how you work as a learner, especially if your childhood home was a turbulent one. You need to keep your emotions clear in order to absorb and remember new material and on days when you are upset, learning may feel impossible. If you were lucky enough to come from a stable, loving family, you probably did well in school, even though you often can't explain how you got to the conclusions you reached. The teachers you had the most emotional affinity with were your best ones and their fond indulgence of you may have led to some of the best learning of your life. You learn from what others feel and you're sensitive to teachers' emotional states and can be suspicious and resistant to learning from teachers who put off a different vibe than they say they do or who want you to do as they say, not as they do. Having to shut off or ignore emotions while learning cripples you and slows you down, sometimes stopping you entirely.
The Types Compared
Most education and schoolwork is oriented toward Air-style learning, so those able to learn by listening to lectures and doing writing assignments and reading books do well. Teachers love them, not least because such students are a pleasure to teach and make a teacher look good. The other types, especially Water, do not do well and often are viewed by teachers as slow or obstructive, which is sad, because it's not a matter of intelligence, but of style.
Earth can succeed in the standard system through sheer diligence. By persisting and exercising a little ambition, Mercury/Earth types can rise to the top of the class. Mercury/Water types can go to either extreme—sheer brilliance or sheer failure. Their natural tendency is to hang back and absorb slowly, learning best from teachers they have an emotional affinity with. An unfortunate student-teacher chemistry can lead to disaster and throw off a Water child's whole academic career. Mercury/Fire types can also go to extremes, but they tend to be so charismatic and enthusiastic about the subjects they are interested in that the extra attention they put in at those times makes up for the horsing around at times when they are bored. When a Fire child is bored, the best thing the teacher can do is to give them a wacky, challenging assignment, especially one that puts them in the spotlight—then they will scramble to look good.
For Teachers:
If you are a teacher and able to find out something about the Mercury position of your students, this can help you teach them the way they need to learn. Even if you can't get details of your students' charts, identifying the types I've described and responding to them as suggested can help you more effectively teach the variety of styles you're likely to encounter. And if you teach large classes as if all four types were represented, you can let your students self-select the way they want to learn and more of them will succeed.
A really fine teacher can adjust or supplement their style to accommodate all types of learners and then students do not have to come away feeling stupid or wrong for learning the nonstandard way. Just being able to validate all 4 styles and work with them goes a long way toward awakening in a child the passion for learning. If you can avoid being the kind of teacher who presses your own style on students as if it's the one right way, you will have done a very fine thing. Simply acknowledging that there are different styles, each of which is valid, helps marginalized learners feel good about the way they learn and better able to use their style instead of being a victim of it.

The Messenger God
The Mutable Air sign Gemini is ruled by Mercury, messenger of the gods. Mercury's nickname was Quicksilver, which is what we sometimes call the metal mercury. If you've ever broken a thermometer and held a ball of mercury in your palm, you have experienced the mutability of Gemini—mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. It is as impossible to grasp, hold and contain as Geminis themselves. If you've ever dated a Gemini and become frustrated at their sheer evasiveness, believe me, it's nothing to the frustration Geminis experience at their own selves.
The mythological Mercury had wings on his shoes and his hat, and carried a winged staff called a caduceus, which was wrapped with two serpents. The caduceus has been adopted by the medical profession as a symbol (Mercury has historically been associated with medicine), and you can see a stylized version of it in the logo of the American Medical Association.
Mercury needed all the wings he could get because, as Olympian messenger, he was able to go to all 3 realms: heaven, earth and the underworld. He could hang out on Olympus with the other gods, roam the earth disguised as a mortal, and he was the only being (besides Pluto himself) who could travel freely to and from the underworld.
Mercury As Psychopompos Or Guide To The Underworld
The underworld was the domain belonging to Pluto (Hades to the Greeks) and was a realm forbidden to all other beings, both earthly and divine. To go there, you had to die, but not so for Mercury. He often served as an official escort, assisting mortals and gods to return from the underworld once they had entered the land of the dead. Examples of this include Orpheus' attempted rescue of his beloved wife Eurydice and the descent of Inanna, the Mesopotamian Venus, to restore her dead love, both situations involving the messenger god in a critical role as helper/escort. This role of Mercury as psychopompos (or as the OED puts it, "guide of the soul") symbolizes the ability of the human mind to mediate between the physical world of our bodies and senses and the inner worlds of emotions and the collective unconscious. I think individuals with Mercury retrograde in their natal charts have a special gift for guiding others on their inner journeys, perhaps from having so much familiarity with their own inner journeys.
The mind thus bridges three realms, transporting both the unknown mysteries of our darkest psychic corners and also the divine inspirations and aspirations of the ideal (Mt. Olympus) to earth, and making them relevant in the world of the everyday and mundane. Did Mercury have a realm of his own? Not that I know of. It seems to me he just belonged wherever he was.
The Flexible Mind, a Mass of Messages
Mythology is deeply symbolic and the stories that have taken shape around Mercury symbolize the human experience of our own brain. The ancients knew through their stories about Mercury that the human mind is nothing but a messenger service for carrying communications inside our bodies. They also understood that the human mind has a marvelous capacity to deal with life on 3 levels: heavenly, earthly and underworldly. Without the benefit of science or proof, their understanding was metaphorical but it served to give them all they needed to know about the mind, how it works and what it is capable of, allowing them to generate knowledge we still value today.
What Does This Mean About Gemini?
Geminis are pulled in many directions at once. They need to keep moving. They are mentally agile and quick. Their minds go with equal facility from higher thought to lower thought. They enjoy this duality and use polarity to understand a thing by contrasting it with its opposite. This flexibility, this mutability and the need to keep the message moving is the heart of Gemini's nature. When a Gemini learns new information and passes it on to someone else, a winged god flying swiftly somewhere pauses to smile.

On my Mercury Retrograde page, I've said that trying to complete projects with normal efficiency during Mercury retrograde is like having a picnic in a rainstorm. You may want to go through with the picnic, because it's what you planned, but if you'd realized it was going to storm that day, you would have planned the picnic for another time.
Knowing Mercury retrograde is coming is like being apprised of a Details Storm, an occasion where the wind picks up and swirls office details, communications and electronics equipment functionality into eddies of confusion and mess. Sometimes it's best to simply batten down the hatches. There is no way to know in advance exactly what form it will take (a fax breakdown just when you needed to get those papers to your loan officer? A heart-stopping letter from an ex? A life-altering, unexpected wipe of your hard-drive?) Your best strategy is to be prepared for anything. Clear your mind. Clean your desk. Take a break. And when the emergency strikes (as you know it will!), approach it calmly, with a clear head and an open heart.
It's October 14, 2008. Mercury has now been retrograde for 20 days. You may even have known that. Are you still trying to picnic in a rainstorm?
Mercury's retrograde stint finishes tomorrow (Oct 15), but don't expect things to get smoother until later in the week. In the meantime, continue the practice of taking yourself off the hook, relaxing and cultivating mental stillness. Have that picnic next week.

In my previous article You're Not Just Your Sun Sign I pointed out that human beings are too complex to be reduced to a single sign of the zodiac. I hope also that I made it clear that it's possible for a person to be a pretty strong type by virtue of having several planets in a given sign. One way this can happen is if Mercury and Venus are in the same sign as the sun. Because of the way the solar system is arranged, this is not at all unlikely. Here's why:
In our solar system, Mercury is closest to the sun. Venus is next in line, followed by Earth, then Mars, then Jupiter and so on. This means that from Earth's point of view (which is what matters in astrology, because Earth is where we live) the sun, Mercury and Venus will always be in the same quadrant of sky. You will never see Mercury opposite the sun in a birth chart and if someone tells you that you have that, they're pulling your leg because it's physically impossible. Mercury will always be found in the sun's sign or one sign ahead or behind the sun. Venus ranges a little further, but it will never be further from the sun than two signs ahead or behind.
So in any chart, relative to the sun, Mercury has three signs it could be in, while Venus has five. This significantly increases the statistical chances of Mercury, Venus, or both doubling up in the sun's sign, which will intensify the sun sign traits. This is why some people are purer types than others and it's also why some people may identify with their sun sign very little. If you are a solid Capricorn sun, but you have a flirtatious Aquarian Venus and a loquacious Sagittarian Mercury, you won't feel much like a Capricorn unless you have some other planet there (or at least in another Earth sign) to back it up. However, your Capricorn nature will out eventually, probably around the time of your Saturn return, when you are approaching 30 and find yourself suddenly taking life more seriously.
It's fairly easy to find out where your Mercury and Venus are in a natal chart reading with an astrologer who can show you around your "map of life." While you have your chart in front of you, look to see if a single sign appears three or more times. If it does, that is probably your strongest sign, whether it is your sun sign or not. If you enjoy reading the silly newspaper "horoscopes," then this is the sign you should look at, not necessarily your sun sign.
This is one of three related articles on the subject of why your Sun sign is not all that you are. For more insight, see the other two.

Students' needs reliant on expansion
To the editor:
I am writing to encourage community members to cast a vote on April 2 for the proposed $10 million of general obligation bonds to fund a Fairfield High School facilities renovation project. Information about the project can be found on the front page of the school district's web page which has the following web address: www.fairfieldsfuture.org.
The proposed project has been well thought out by many stakeholders and involves many aspects of the school. Academic areas, including the science, art, band, chorus, and industrial arts classrooms are being upgraded. Locker rooms, wrestling room, weight room, and the northern interior entrances of the gym are extracurricular areas being improved. From a safety point of view, outside entrances are being modified to ensure visitors have to enter through the main office. Additionally, the project makes every floor of the building handicap accessible, improves air quality with new heating and cooling systems, and slightly modifies the kitchen and commons area to provide the ability to serve lunch in a more efficient manner. Personally, I feel that investing in this project will improve our students' educational experience and have a positive impact on our community.
Again, I encourage you to study the plan and to cast a vote on April 2. Please feel free to contact any of the FHS administrators if you have questions about the plan or if you would like a tour of the facility.
— Jeff Courtright, Fairfield Community School District Activities Director

Three-star defensive end James Conner of Erie (Pa.) McDowell arrived at the Rivals/VTO Camp in Pittsburgh with no offers, but after winning overall MVP everything has definitely picked up for him. Now with five offers, Conner is pleased with how his recruiting process is moving along.
"I picked up a lot more offers and my grades are coming up, so everything is good," said Conner, who is 6-foot-3 and 230-pounds. "I'm really excited."
Conner's offers are from Pittsburgh, Toledo, Bowling Green, Eastern Michigan and Youngstown State. He has stayed busy with several camps this summer, including his two most recent at Pittsburgh and Michigan State.
Article Continues Below
"Both were really good," he said. "I have yet to lose a one-on-one rep."
Pittsburgh was Conner's most recent offer and is currently recruiting him the hardest.
"I like them a lot," he said. "It seems like they take their academics very seriously and my relationship with the coaches there is really good. I love those guys. It's also close to home so my brothers could come to my games."
Conner mentioned that he is done with his summer camp schedule and will now turn his full attention towards his senior season.
"It's going to be a whole new me this season," he said. "I want to be nationally ranked. I'm trying to improve everything. I'm trying to improve my speed, strength, endurance and just be a leader on the field."
Conner will play defensive end and running back this fall at McDowell, and while all of his recruiting attention at this point is at defensive end he believes that may change after this fall.
"Greg Garmon was our running back last year, but now I will get all of the carries this year so that might change," said Garmon.

RunKeeper for Android is still sitting at version 188.8.131.52 in Google Play, however those looking to see the 3.0 release can now do so. The RunKeeper team has recently released v3.0 in beta form and made it available for anyone that wants to check it out. The beta release can be found by way of the RunKeeeper Blog, but keep in mind — you will need to sideload the apk file. That small detail out of the way, lets get into what has been changed.
Right from the beginning, existing RunKeeper users will notice a big change — a new look. RunKeeper notes this as being a design that has been done with Android guidelines in mind. Putting the specific guidelines aside, we can say that the look is much improved as compared to the previous release. Some of the other changes touch on the 'Me' tab, the in-app reminders, audio cues and in-activity splits.
Diving in a bit further with each of these and we have a 'Me' tab that now pulls in details including your goals, personal records and activity totals. Simply put, your data is now easier to find given it is all in one location. The in-app reminders will let you schedule your next workout time and the in-activity splits will now display your pace per mile/km or workout interval. As for the audio cues, they were simply noted as being enhanced.
That all being said, there are some known bugs. If you are running Android 2.3 you may want to skip the beta as you have some crashing when viewing the training plan schedule and pop-up notifications are said to be hard to read. Otherwise, the bugs seem to be on the smaller (more of a hinderance than anything) side. Still, you may want to visit the RunKeeper Blog to check the complete list. A Google Play release date has yet to be announced, however we suspect that will come at a time when the bugs seem to be taken care of. One final warning, installing the beta release will overwrite the currently installed app (but your data will remain).
