Took car to shop got ready to leave shop car wouldn't start after they brought the car back to me to leave the shop
There is a clicking noise in the front of the car that occurs while driving. I thought it was the steering, but it happens as I'm driving straight too. I had my oil changed and tires rotated today, but the mechanic said he didn't know what it was. A code P1443 came up,with no DTC definition found.
The car will not always start unless you spray it with starting fluid.
Ignition chime does not go off when car started unless I GENTLY and minutely, move the ignition clockwise after starting car. Opening and closing doors does not do the trick. Will come back on if I use headlights or use blinkers. Can turn car off while in drive. Will replacing the ignition key warning switch (11A127 Ford $23.89 part)do the trick? If so, where is it located and how do I do it myself? Is there a simpler fix? It's driving me crazy. I'm lucky. First time I've had this problem in almost 13 years. Thanks!
the compressor is stopinng the motor from turning over!! is there a way to run a shorter belt or do i have to replace compressor?
I am trying to pass my upcoming emissions test and currently am being held back by a "check engine" light. A friend suggested I replace the canister purge solenoid (after already having replaced the purge flow sensor, which didn't cure anything). My problem is locating the canister purge solenoid . . . anyone have any info?
my car is not working thought it was the battery but when it is charging i get power but when it is unhooked nothing also when it is charging with another car and I try to start it all it does is click??? any ideas
There is a popping noise when I slightly turn the wheel fairly slowly. As in normal corrections while driving, the popping noise will occur. I do believe this is a pop, and not a squeak while turning as the squeak problem has been answered already. How to fix this? Thanks!
There is a "popping" noise when I slightly turn the wheel left of right fairly slowly, as in just making the normal small corrections while driving on the road, the popping sound will occur. It may be the squeaking sound already mention but this sounds more like popping.
The passenger seatbelt in my Mustang has reciently failed to uncoil or recoil. Ford dealership quoted $525 for a replacement plus installation cost. Is a replacement this expensive?
i just bought a 98 mustang that has sat for a year. fuel pump doesnt seem to be working. is there a way to unseize it without replacing or do i need to replace the pump? if so where can i find out how to do this?

In this aerial class you'll use a low-flying, soft fabric sling to support your body as you explore yoga postures and key Pilates principles on the floor—and in the air. (C'mon! You can do it!) Our Aerial Conditioning class is a blast, designed to strengthen your core and upper body, while cultivating balance and exercising your full range of movement with guided support. Class emphasis is placed on breath awareness, dynamic alignment and efficiency as a source of power. Embrace gravity—and defy it. Grip socks recommended (available for purchase).
This classic Pilates Reformer class focuses on the body as a whole, to increase flexibility, strength, balance, agility, create a stronger core, improved mental well-being and a fuller range of motion. All while turning the abdominal muscles, lower back and hips into your body's powerhouse.
Because Reformer Pilates is a non-impact, balanced technique, it's great for just about anyone—from the super-fit, to beginners to those coming back from an injury. Space is limited to 10 TRIBE members per class. Grip socks required (available for purchase).
Cardio Fit is a moderate intensity workout that combines strength and cardio segments using bands, dumbells and gliders. You will challenge your aerobic and anaerobic threshold every time so come prepared to get your cardio on! This is a fun class is also set to high energy dance music, so along with your cardio, bring the Funk! Wear your sneakers or grip socks.
Wanna release some stress? Lose some inches? Tone your arms, hips, waist and glutes? If so, this creative kickboxing class is for you.
Cardio Kickboxing combines dance, kickboxing and kung fu for a whole lotta heart-happy fun. The class is similar to Tae Bo, but provides a groovier, higher impact fitness experience. Join us and you'll learn various kicks, strikes and combinations, while burning over 500 calories!
Dry shoes and an iron will are highly recommended.
HiiT class will be sweaty, challenging, exciting and FUN. This high intensity interval training class will start with a dynamic warm up, followed by an ideal mix of strength and conditioning moves interspersed with cardio bursts (aerobic and anaerobic). Each burst will target different parts of the body, and because of the Tabata timing, it makes it easier to push yourself as hard as possible for 40 seconds. Sneakers recommended.
Wanna blast your midsection into shape? This is the Pilates class for you! Using traditional Mat Pilates protocols (the use of exercise mats instead of traditional Reformer equipment), light weights, resistance bands, and standing exercises, you'll strengthen your body, define muscle, jump start your metabolism, burn fat, and increase your flexibility. All it takes is a little resistance and counter-resistance—and a whole lotta yes I can. Grip socks recommended (available for purchase).
This Barre class blends together the best of Pilates, dance, yoga, core conditioning, and body sculpting. Get a complete body workout through a high energy and low impact Barre class that tones your muscles with isolated movements, isometric exercises, orthopedic stretches and light weights complimented by a continual fat burning process. This class tones your seat, abdominals, thighs, arms as well as strengthens your legs, back, and improves your posture. You will use our own body weight for resistance targeting each of your muscle groups to the point of fatigue. Then, you will stretch those muscles in a way that promotes long and lean muscle growth developing a long and lean physique.
Classes utilize light weights, stretch bands and, of course, TRIBE's ballet barre, to lengthen and align the body. This Barre class is recommended for people of all levels. Space is limited to 12 TRIBE community members.
If your goals include rock-solid glutes, toned and shaped calves, super-cut arms and a great chest (IOW, the bod of a God), then reserve your spot for Power Barre today. We'd love to have you! Grip socks recommended (available for purchase).
Power Reformer is our signature class and is what sets TRIBE Fitness apart. It is a very unique workout that combines strength training at an unapologetic pace, with the core and balance training of a reformer. The pace will keep your heart rate elevated for the full 50 minutes to maximize full-body strength and ensure a high-intensity cardio workout. If you're looking for Pilates, this isn't the class. But if you want lean, toned muscles, strength, endurance and fat-burning, this workout is for you. Structured in 15 minute increments covering upper body, legs and core, Power Reformer works every muscle and boosts metabolism, helping you to jack the gravitational forces that even the most dedicated men and women face every day (and look great naked). Space is limited to 10 TRIBE members per class. Grip socks required (available for purchase).
Simply put, Power Reformer/Jumpboard is aerobic version of Power Reformer. And here's what makes it so fun—and so challenging:
Using an attachment that converts your traditional Pilates Reformer into a horizontal jumping machine, you can, with one, quick adjustment to the attachment's spring tension, jump (again, horizontally) on your reformer as if it were the floor. Cool, huh?
Welcome to Power Reformer Jumpboard, a choreographed cardio routine that uses the principles of Plyometrics to build speed and power through activation of the fast-twitch muscle fibers in your quadriceps.
In this class, you'll challenge your core, elevate your heart rate, improve coordination, burn calories and strengthen muscles. Space is limited to 10 TRIBE members per class. Grip socks required (available for purchase).
Interested in Power Reformer but just starting out? No sweat. (Well, okay. Maybe a little.) Why not consider the Power Reformer Lite? It's a "lite" version of our most sought-after, signature class, designed to help you fight the force—but with a little less intensity. Space is limited to 10 TRIBE members per class. Grip socks required (available for purchase).
Originally developed by Navy Seals, this full-body workout is performed with suspension training equipment that, by design, helps to isolate specific muscle groups and optimize their potential. It's a super-concentrated, highly effective workout that blends strength training and cardiovascular conditioning for serious military-grade might and muscle. Space is limited to 12 TRIBE members per class. Sneakers recommended.
This class introduces the Tabata style of highly effective interval training developed by a team of researchers from Japan. A truly amazing option, the format incorporates short burst of intense effort for 20 seconds followed by a 10 second rest period. Tabata interval training will use a variety of equipment and variations so you never get bored. Sneakers recommended.
Tabata is a proven effective and demanding method of interval training that can seriously supercharge any TRX workout.
Our Tabata TRX class is a full-body workout that uses your body weight, TRX resistance-training straps, sand bags, kettlebells, a rip trainer (an innovative resistance cord system that creates a variable, unbalanced load, enabling you to develop core strength, explosive power, flexibility and endurance) and dumbbells to maximize muscle strength and get your heart rate up and running royally.
Tabata TRX is high-intensity interval training, friends, and it follows a very specific format: 20 seconds of super-high intensity exercise (think sprints), followed by ten seconds of rest, then repeating eight times, all in a total of four minutes. Yeah, it's hard work, but hard work makes for a harder, happier camper.
So…who's in?
Sneakers recommended.
This class is a great way to get going with the TRIBE. We're talkin' low-intensity exercise that incorporates traditional Pilates principles, including, some mild strength training and lots of stretching using the unique Pilates reformer springs to lengthen you out.
Seriously, friend. If you're looking for a stress-free intro, a man or woman rehabilitating an injury, or simply someone who wants to focus more on stretching and workout recovery, Tone & Stretch is the place to be. Space is limited to 10 TRIBE members per class. Grip socks required (available for purchase).
This unique, fat burning workout pairs TRX techniques with hardcore Power Barre exercises to tighten and strengthen the entire body. With music pumping at 150+ beats per minute, you'll be sweating and burning like you're a back-up dancer for Beyoncé's World tour. Can you say, "Bootylicious"? And guys! Want that defensive "back" like Seahawk #29? This is the class for you! Space is limited to 12 TRIBE members per class. Grip socks recommended (available for purchase).
Yoga Flow classes take the basic yoga postures and links them through breath, movement and music for an amazing physical and uplifting experience that will totally get your groove on. This yoga class encourages balance, gratitude, and strength to aid in opening areas where release is needed while combining movement matched with the breath.
Yoga Flow is perfect if you like your yoga practice to feel like a dance. Over time, movement in the sequence becomes more fluid, the mind is able to relax and the practice becomes a moving meditation. Who knew?

hey guys, i follow you up to the point of intergrating the final line. How would I intergrate [x^-2.e^-x] dx thx
Solve the following differential equation, i.e. solve for y: dy/dx - y/x = 1/x + y + 1 I have this so far, 1. dy/dx= (y + 1 + xy + x)/x 2. x dy = (y + 1 + xy + x)dx 3. Integrate both sides... xy + c = xy + x + .5x^2y + .5x^2 + k where c and k are constants 4. c = x + .5x^2 (y...

OKLAHOMA CITY - A bill that makes it more difficult for a minor in Oklahoma to get an abortion without parental consent has been signed into law by Gov. Mary Fallin.
The abortion measure was one of 22 bills signed into law Tuesday by the Republican governor.
The bill addresses Oklahoma's judicial bypass procedure that allows girls younger than 18 to ask a judge's permission to get an abortion without parental consent. It requires such a bypass to be obtained in the county where the girl lives, a move supporters say will prevent girls from venue shopping for a willing judge. The bill also requires a parent granting consent of a minor's abortion to present a government-issued identification.
Another bill signed by Fallin allows judges to carry firearms anywhere in the state.

In Kasese, Western Uganda More than 40 people including security forces have been killed today Saturday as Ugandan armed forces stormed the palace of a controversial King in Rwenzori area.
Police spokesperson Andrew Kaweesi said 10 police officers were killed by armed militants.
He further said 32 Rwenzururu royal guards were also taken out of action.
This came as security forces try to nip in the bud a possible rebellion in Rwenzori.
The Rwenzururu kingdom led by a former soldier accuse government of marginalization, a charge officials deny.
The Kingdom is suspected of recruiting and arming a militia to secede from Uganda and create what is known as Yiira Republic.
President Museveni has since warned that the Yiira Republic will never include even one inch of Ugandan soil.
He further said revolutionary leaders who paid a huge price liberating Uganda would never allow such a secession.
Official statistics indicate that 8 people were today killed in Kasese Municipality.
Three died in Maliba market; two in Bugoye; three in Kagando, Kisinga and three in Bwesumbu.
Government deputy spokesperson Shaban Bantariza said weapons were found in Rwenzururu palace.
He further stated that militias which have been running training camps in Rwenzururu were found at the palace.
The turmoil in Kasese has since raised fears of a growing insurgency.

Leona Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Threats to Leona with this build
|You will destroy this overgrown pigeon with ease. He will be mid most of the game, but his defenses are easily avoidable with a well placed E.
Praising the sun.
Alright, so let's talk early game. Usually you will be starting Q, so feel free to ***** smack anyone crossing a foot over that imaginary middle line in your lane. Your ADC won't have to worry about free pokes while you're around to smack the **** outta people. Build all your skills to level 1 before upgrading, as these will all be necessary for the combo.
The Wombo Combo
You know the feeling. You're walking back to your lane from base when you see that your turret is being attacked. This is when Leo really starts to shine. Signal your ADC to move into river area and get ready to attack. Start scaring them off, then unleash hell on them before they reach river, or just before. Start your W, then grab them with E, stun with Q. They should be half health by now, due to your ADC joining the fight. Finally, just as they think they have hope, preset your ult and leave the rest to the ADC. Place your ult 1 second or so in front of the enemy, 99% of the time, they won't have enough time to react. Just walk away, go finish off the minion wave, pick up some gold, and recall. Restart the cycle from there.
Another good thing about Leona is that her skills reset in almost no time. By the time you kill your enemy laner, take some minion kills, recall, buy some items, and return to your lane, your ultimate will be completely done it's cooldown. At level 2 with nearly full build, your ult should be at 60 second cooldown. That's as long as it takes to cook minute rice. Leona can call down a divine solar nuke in the time it takes Uncle Ben to prepare your Basmatti. DO YOU REALIZE HOW INSANE THAT IS.
Little tip, just for trolling your opponent. You can flash in the middle of using your E. Try grabbing an enemy, rooting him, then flashing over a wall. Hoodini Leona.
Your passive applies a stacked debuff on anything you hit, meaning that you can E an oncoming minion wave, then just let your ADC oneshot the entire wave with an AOE. This is why I like supporting Corki, Varus, or any ADC with the ability to skillshot/AOE that is able to hit multiple enemies or minions. Along with this, using your W as a wave clear in large groups of minions is always a good idea.
Thank you for reading, please feel free to like this and favourite it. It always is nice to be nice. Or something.

The busy holiday travel period is supposed to put a smile on the face of the airline industry. Instead, it got a black eye as payback for a few severe customer-service blunders...
The busy holiday travel period is supposed to put a smile on the face of the airline industry. Instead, it got a black eye as payback for a few severe customer-service blunders.
The computer meltdown that forced a Delta Air Lines-owned regional carrier to cancel all its Christmas flights, and the US Airways staffing problems that resulted in a 10,000-bag pileup in Philadelphia, compounded the financial bruising large carriers suffered all year at the hands of their small-but-growing, lower-cost rivals.
For starters, the delays — whether caused by computer, labor or weather problems — add to the cost of doing business. That's something US Airways, Delta Air Lines and other major carriers can ill-afford at a time when jet-fuel prices are soaring and fare levels are too low to cover their operating expenses on a good day. Stranded passengers are often given lodging, meals or seats on other airlines, while employees must be paid overtime.

Perhaps more troublesome for the industry going forward, analysts said, is the public-relations damage caused by the holiday snafus — the latest being a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Seattle that lasted 28 hours, in which the jet was diverted to Moses Lake, food and water ran short and the toilets stopped working.
The delay resulted from fog, mechanical glitches and regulations that limit the number of consecutive hours crews can work.
"We're finally seeing the big guys getting closer to cost parity with the low-cost carriers and so we're entering a phase where the battleground now is going to be on customer service," said Kevin Mitchell, who runs the Business Travel Coalition, a Radnor, Pa.-based advocacy group.
To the extent consumers think financially distressed carriers are staffed by workers grumpy about wage and benefits cuts, carriers such as US Airways, Delta and United Airlines face another disadvantage to fiscally fit rivals such as Southwest Airlines and JetBlue Airways, Mitchell said.
He said US Airways' baggage fiasco was by far the worst incident of the past week and it will damage the image and bookings of the bankrupt carrier. The airline has said it could liquidate early next year without more concessions from employees.
But there could also be ramifications for the rest of the carriers, which lost more than $5 billion over the first nine months of 2004 and, with few exceptions, are not expected to turn a profit in 2005.
"It just adds to this perception that travel is just not what it used to be and is, in fact, getting worse," Mitchell said.
US Airways hopes to counter that perception this weekend with help from managers who have agreed to volunteer at its hub in Philadelphia. It was there that an unusually large number of baggage handlers and flight attendants failed to show up for work, according to the airline, crippling operations already hampered by bad weather.
For its part, Delta's regional subsidiary Comair said it will replace the scheduling system that malfunctioned with one that can handle more transactions.
Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta on Monday asked the agency's inspector general to examine the problems that caused Comair and US Airways to cancel thousands of holiday flights.
Meantime, discount carriers are trying to use their rivals' misfortune to their own advantage.
AirTran issued a news release Monday, "AirTran Airways Holiday Performance Sparkles," in which its CEO, Joe Leonard, thumbed his nose at US Airways by boasting "our baggage handling performance was exceptional" and that "our crew members went above and beyond the call of duty."
Southwest and JetBlue took a different approach, but the message to US Airways — we're coming after you — was clear. Both slashed round-trip fares in markets where they compete with US Airways.
US Airways spokesman David Castelveter said his company recognizes competitors are going to "crow" a little bit, but that it won't detract from the airline's focus on rebuilding relationships with customers.
"It's clear that there are customers that are upset with us and that are going to book away from us," he said. "We're trying to restore the confidence of customers we let down.
"We will be reaching out to customers in other ways that I can't discuss right now," he said.
Airlines also need to work on their relationships with their employees, who have sacrificed pay, benefits and more to help their companies, said Robert Mann, an industry consultant based in Port Washington, N.Y.
"You've got to have motivated employees, but it's hard to motivate employees in a positive way when you're just whacking them over the head all the time."
Mann said tension between labor and management was not the only industrywide strain exposed in the past week.
By dangling low fares, carriers have helped revive passenger traffic to levels not seen in several years. But with this surge in fliers, delays on runways and in the skies are increasing and likely to get worse.
The bad weather that hit the Midwest just before Christmas — and the labor and technological mishaps that made matters worse — only highlighted the underlying stress in the system, Mann said.
Even if airlines manage to make it through this holiday weekend without more foul-ups, "the delays in the summer of '05 and beyond are likely to be just as bad as the late 1990s and 2000," Mann said.

Unpretentious, with friendly staff, smiling cooks in an open kitchen, and daily specials with delightful surprises, restaurant Caillebotte is a welcome addition to a neighborhood that's already a food lover's delight.
We arrived for lunch on a rainy afternoon after a stroll down the nearby market street, rue des Martyrs. Our appetites were already stimulated by rotisserie chicken sputtering on the sidewalk, and Sebastian Gaudard's tarte au citron and almond croissants (reportedly the best in Paris).
A smiling hostess seated us just inside the front door, at a square marble-topped table the color of clouds. We looked out on a group of 20-somethings from a nearby office, middle aged regulars on stools at the counter, and three cooks in an open stainless steel kitchen whipping emulsions with hand blenders and sending out copious starters and plats.
The menu offered modern takes on French comfort food: velouté de potiron with potato-comté gnocchi; parmesan risotto with Brittany shrimp and chorizo; milk-fed pork; roasted duck; lotte meunière with bacon et pain brulé.
We started with ravioles de légumes in pot au feu, an aromatic broth that demanded sopping with freshly cut bread. A few greens atop the large, tender pasta brought a freshness, color and crunch to a dish that otherwise had me imagining a fragrant, long-simmering stew on a winter day in a village in the Alps.
Everyone around us ordered the plat du jour, and we took our cue from the crowd. To be honest, the formule encourages this, as the plat du jour with starter or dessert is just 19€, and mains à la carte start at 21€.
Our poached chicken with hand-cut veggie chips and parsnip purée (the last infused with white chocolate!) was light and luscious at the same time. Served in a shallow white bowl, it was a splendid combination of flavor and texture. The chicken was melt-in-your-mouth tender, the chips, made from beets and sweet potatoes, satisfying. The white chocolate added richness to the parsnips without making them sweet.

Q: 2002 Chevy Trailblazer,2WD,92K miles. My gas mileage is ridiculously poor on 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer
I am getting about 8-10 miles/gallon or maybe 180 miles to the tank and I can't figure out why. In the last 2 yrs it has gotten worse. The system is not producing any codes and I don't have any check lights on but I know my truck (I bought it brand new in '02) and the gas mileage was never this bad in the earlier years. I have had it checked out but mechanica can't finds anything even after replacing the fuel filters. I think it's a fuel pump going bad because the "empty" will come on when I need gas and when I start it later it will be off and the needle is a little higher. Slightly erratic gas needle but not obvious by any means.
I see no answers here and this hasn't been helpful at all... I'm getting hardly 10 mpg... Can anyone explain what's going on? I had a friend that had a similar size SUV of another maker (Pacifica) experiencing the same horrible gas mileage everyone was thinking transmission, tune-up whatever; however, they vehicle showed a code for the catalytic converter during the complete computer diagnostic test … Sure enough order the item had it installed ..WHAM-O… problem solved.. Does anyone know what solves this problem for the 2003 Trail Blazer 4.2ltr? Please help a single mother three kids and need the help seriously.
Fuel level sensor issues are not uncommon for the 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer. That however should not affect your actual fuel mileage. The calculated fuel mileage may be incorrect if you are using the fuel gauge to determine the fuel used. The most accurate way to calculated fuel mileage is to use the trip meter to register the miles driven between fill-ups and the gallons filled at each fill-up. On board system are only as accurate as the fuel sensor readings, which in your case are incorrect.
Thank you for the reply. The only reason I didn't think it was a fuel level issue is because when the light comes on and the needle shows empty, I can go fill up and it takes the whole 15 gallons. Is there anything else that could cause such poor gas mileage. I thought it might also be a fuel pump issue or maybe the injectors are spraying too much fuel than it needs to power the truck. Any thoughts on that? My mechanic followed the fuel lines and found no gas leaks of any kind
The engine computer should compensate do a pretty good job of compensating for fuel system issues that could cause reduced fuel mileage. If to much compensation is required the Check Engine Light will turn on and fault codes will be set. One exception to this rule can be a failed oxygen sensor. I would be wise to have your local repair shop check the oxygen sensor operation.
is the air filter dirty? You may be running a rich mixture [ not enough air for the gas to burn] Check and or change the air filter. not a costly item!!!!!!
any check engine lights on, may just need a tune up

Hi Guys,
Were only 2 weeks out from the offical start of the 44 weeks of rain. We're going to get a preview this weekend. See radar. I better start looking for that glue bottle.

Morning Guys,
Fall got here on Fri, but here in Seattle, one lost Summer day managed to find it's way here today. See chart. It's only a one day event. Tomorrow it's going to be 65, raining and windy. I better get the batterys charging.
Bob in Seattle
So a few weeks ago I went out flying with a fellow glider guider here in Rochester. The day was perfect and conditions for lift couldn't be better. I decided to take out the Pulsar because I had not had it out in a while and I wanted to work on my flap to elevator settings and tweak my dual rates. You know, important stuff. Mark was in the air first with his new 2.5 meter Pulsar, wow what a plane. It was only half a meter longer but it really made mine look tiny. I did my usual preflight checks, did a couple of hand throws, the second one was 125 yards , and declared it good to go.
Launch 1, I wanted to play it safe so I took it up to about 400 feet and started to play with the flaps. I would throw the flaps, observe the plane's pitch, make an adjustment to the radio and then do it again. I was getting close but didn't have it perfect and decided to land. Oh it looked nice. I fiddled with a couple of things and launched it again. I was trying some 2S batteries and the launches were OK but not the rocket ship launches that come with a 3S battery.
Launch 2, This launch I found some lift as soon as I shut down the motor. The Pulsar climbed very nicely and I called out to Mark to come over and enjoy the ride. He did and soon both of us were climbing out in this really nice thermal. The higher I went the faster it climbed and soon I realized that the Pulsar was getting small really fast, too fast. So I deployed full flaps and waited for it to start to get bigger but it didn't, it just kept getting smaller. Now I'm getting nervous, I like the Pulsar but it has a very thin wing and it has a narrower cord than my Riser so it can be harder to see at altitude. It was around this same time that I can recall Mark proclaiming that he had never seen lift like this before and, frankly, neither had I. And then it happened, the Pulsar blinked out of sight. I gave it a second, didn't see it then stuck the right stick into the lower corner, just like I had read about here on RCGroups. I immediately reacquired the plane and watched it slowly spin down from the hungry plane eating thermal. My quick thinking and calm state of mind had denied the thermal its prize.
But this thermal was not finished, although I was slowly making my back to the ground Mark was still up and now the hungry thermal placed its sights on Mark's new plane. He deployed his flaps and started to point the nose of his plane down but he was also having trouble escaping the powerful rising air. He would quickly build up speed only to have to level out and immediately start climbing again. Flaps were not going to be enough to escape this monster but it seemed to take up the entire sky so flying out of it was not going to be easy either. By now I had dropped a couple of hundred feet, was feeling much better and was getting ready to stop the big spin and pull back the flaps. The thermal sensed this and decided that I should not be allowed to leave its grasp for so small a price. At around 400 feet I noticed something odd with my Pulsar, something was not right. It took a second for me to realize what had happened but it was clear that part of my wing was no longer attached to the plane and was fluttering away, while the Pulsar continued its spin towards the ground. There was very little I could do at this point. I redeployed flaps and activated crow in an attempt to slow its descent. I said something like "Uh oh" and Mark saw its spin and wanted to help but he was still battling the thermal for his own plane.
The fuselage came to rest in the middle of a very big soybean field and the separated wing floated down into the same field but further away. I did my best to mark the direction of the wreckage with my transmitter antenna. Mark was able to recover his Pulsar and get it back safely to the field but that thermal just didn't want to let go. Now the search was on. Not to bore you with the gory search details but suffice it to say you never want to have to walk a bean field in shorts. Although they look nice and soft and fuzzy they are not. After about an hour and a half of searching Mark located the fuselage. The other wing half was not located that day. I went back about 5 days later and was able to find it after about 45 minutes of walking the rows.
So now I get to decide whether or not to scrap it or try to repair, rebuild it. Amazingly there was no damage other than where the wing broke and the servo wire was pulled through the wing. Fuselage is fine, tail is fine and outer wing panels are fine. For now the Pulsar is back in its case and will wait there until I finish the Raven build, then I will decide what to do with it. Here are a couple of pictures of the recovery effort taken by Mark.

Wayne, that sounds like an experience I had with the first prototype of the electric Chrysalis 2-meter.
I'd been trying to prove a point that dynamic stability was at least, if not more, important than static stability. I'd mounted the 7S RC2000 Nicad motor battery deliberately too far aft, so that the C/G was about 3/8" behind the aft limit, making the plane's static pitch stability slightly divergent. I got it about 50 ft. in the air, trimmed it out, then handed the transmitter to a first-time beginner. With nothing more than verbal coaching from me, she did fine for quite a while (maybe ten minutes or so), just motoring up and down the field on part throttle. Then, out over the cornfield beyond the end of the runway, she got her rights and lefts mixed up and turned the wrong way. The turn took the plane out of sight behind a tree, and she was no longer able to correct for the instability. The plane dove into the fully-grown 8-10 ft. tall corn.
Corn is about like a forest of broadswords made from coarse sandpaper. About half a dozen of us tried looking for it, got carved up pretty badly, gave up that night. I came back the next day with long pants, some arm-length fingerless "gloves" I made from some long cotton socks, a ski mask and my cowboy hat (this was in August, with the usual high heat and higher humidity), and started walking (more like wrestling through) the rows.
A week and a half, and three severe thunderstorms later, I finally found it.
I'm sure you've heard how crashing in water is worse than crashing on concrete. Well, corn is more similar to water in that regard. The wing was pretty much confetti everywhere outboard of about 6" of the fuselage, and the fuselage wasn't much better. The motor, a Goldberg "Turbo 550" (Speed 600 can motor) would still turn, but with some squeaking. Miraculously the battery and radio equipment were still usable (nicads don't mind being deep-discharged). OTOH, some of the balsa was starting to mold.
The only thing that was still truly airworthy was an experimental piece I'd installed a while before - a rudder hinge (this was the conventional-tailed version) made from Blenderm, just to see if that tape was adequate for something as big as a 2-meter. The Blenderm hinge was as good as the day I'd put it on.
Hi Bob,
Purchasing a new wing is not really an option because they changed how the new ones mount. I am going to think about it for a while but may try my hand at scratch building a new center section. We'll see. Will finish the Raven first.
Yep, corn is worse. I've walked through both. At least the beans stayed below mid chest, corn attacks the entire body, head to toes. And if that were not bad enough, finding things in corn is much harder because you cannot see anything, the corn is so tall any possible reference points are obscured from sight. It is like a jungle and you can only really see about 3 rows, maybe 4. I also lucked out in that the weather was nice in between the time it crashed and the time I found it so no weather damage.

When it comes to acting out drama teacher Aimee Membery is a class act.
Her talents have been recognised by actress Pauline Quirke after she became the youngest person to open a branch of the star's international drama academy.
University of Central Lancashire acting graduate Aimee is the principal of the first North West branch of the Pauline Quirke Academy of Performing Arts (PQA).
The 24-year-old was chosen to open the school, at Penwortham 's Priory Academy and now teaches weekly performing arts classes to four to 18 year olds.
Running the school is a dream come true for Aimee, who graduated in 2011.
After leaving university she worked as an assistant manager at a travel agency while pursuing her dream to become a drama teacher then worked on a freelance basis for a local company before being picked up by PQA.
Aimee said: "I'm thrilled to have this job only a couple of years after leaving university and it's great that Pauline Quirke was willing to give me a chance.
"The Preston PQA has really taken off and I've seen some talented youngsters come through the door already."
Aimee has already snapped up two other former UCLan students to work at her academy; acting graduate Samantha Edwards and Edward Rastelli-Lewis who has a degree in film and media.
She added: "I was keen to tap into local talent and am building a team of dedicated professionals to teach at the academy. UCLan encourages students use the strengths of others to make themselves a better person and this attitude has enabled me to use contacts I gained at university to develop and grow my own business."

Google Home Services Ads Impact On Local SEO
Google announced that they would experiment with home service ads in July 2015 beginning their beta testing in the San Francisco Bay Area. It did not take long for the first batch of home service ads to appear for locksmiths, plumbers, and house cleaners.
The newly implemented HVAC home services ads are now on display. The beta test is still going on, and Google recently announced that they are expanding to the Sacramento area and now offering two new services to their test, which will now include HVAC and Electricians.
Something to take note of: We have recently learned from Google Adwords support that they are no longer accepting any new plumbers to the beta test, so the handful of plumbers we see right now are the final candidates who are being featured during this experiment. Reports about the success from those in the beta test have been reported already.
A home services provider in the Bay Area, Shafer Contracting, told CNBC he saw his business grow 30% since he was featured in the home services ads. This makes the recent expansion to the Sacramento area a prime opportunity for those who service Sacramento to invest in being a part of the home services program before they reach capacity like it has in San Francisco.
The current list of home services Google is testing on right now include
- Plumbers
- Handymen
- Locksmiths
- Home Cleaners
- Electricians
The new home services ad is a product of Adwords and Google's attempt to get their share of the home services market and compete against similar service providers like Home Advisor, AngiesList, and Amazon Home Services.
What We Have Seen So Far With Home Services Ads.
It has been many months since the initial rollout of home service ads in the San Francisco Bay Area. Since I live in the Bay Area and work in this industry space and I have been keeping tabs on how the new ads have been progressing over time
The current home services ads are composed of these elements for every ad:
- Name of Business
- Face of Business Owner
- Ratings
- Business Location
- Phone Number
- Send Request Button
As many SEOs may have noticed, Google home services ads for these specific industries have taken over Google's local packs. The previous local packs are occupied by Google's free my business pages which used to rank companies with its variety of ranking signals.
How pros qualify for home services ads
- Background Checks – Social Security and Criminal History
- Reputation Assessment – Reviews and Ratings
- Appropriate Licenses
- Proper Insurance
These are the following cities in the Bay Area we have found that trigger the home services ads to appear above the organic results. The ads have gotten more detailed as time passes by, Google is doing a great job in covering their bases by hitting specific services related to every industry. Popular and simple project search queries like "toilet repair" and "sink repairs" are showing home services ads like expected.
|Alameda, CA
|Albany, CA
|Atherton, CA
|Belmont, CA
|Belvedere, CA
|Berkeley, CA
|Brisbane, CA
|Burlingame, CA
|Campbell, CA
|Castro Valley, CA
|Colma, CA
|Cupertino, CA
|Daly City, CA
|Dixon, CA
|Foster City, CA
|El Cerrito, CA
|Emeryville, CA
|Fremont, CA
|Hayward, CA
|Hercules, CA
|Hillsborough, CA
|Los Altos, CA
|Los Gatos, CA
|Millbrae, CA
|Milpitas, CA
|Monte Soreno, CA
|Mountain View, CA
|Newark, CA
|Oakland, CA
|Palo Alto, CA
|Piedmont, CA
|Redwood City, CA
|Richmond, CA
|Ross, CA
|San Francisco, CA
|San Leandro, CA
|San Lorenzo, CA
|San Mateo, CA
|Santa Clara, CA
|Saratoga, CA
|South San Francisco, CA
|Stanford, CA
|Sunnyvale, CA
|Union City, CA
|Woodside, CA
But, I noticed as time went by that the ads were doing a better job in populating for more complicated and detailed projects like "slab leak repair" and "trenchless sewer repair." So, over time, we are noticing the evolution taking place as the tests continue. It also appears that these home services ads are only for desktop and is currently not implemented on mobile search.
Local pack is being shown in mobile search Google is also testing out layouts that include both the home services ads and the local pack as well – which could be a route for them to go in the future. But, I doubt this option to be permanent because it will be confusing for users to see two Google offerings and take up too much real estate from the organic search results.
What Could This Mean For Local SEO?
If you work with small local home service providers, this may be very alarming for you because ranking in the local pack is the most important component of any Local SEO campaign. Our agency works with many home service providers, and our portfolio contains some plumbers, electricians, home cleaners and HVAC contractors. So, what if home services ads become permanent?
If this beta test were to become permanent, it will eliminate the need for local SEO in these industries because there would be no more local packs. Taking a look at the data from a pool of our local home service providers who rank in the local pack, I can already see the struggles that await Local SEOs.
Looking at a sample size of businesses we have that currently rank in the local 3 pack for keywords like plumber + [service area] or [plumbing related service] + [service area], we noticed that the traffic coming from the local pack makes up a significant portion of the overall organic traffic going to the website's homepage.
For the plumbing companies and HVAC companies, the local pack accounts for 30-60% of all organic traffic going to the home page of the website when ranking in the local 3 pack.
Why is Google Doing This?
We do believe that Google Home Services will leave beta testing at some point and be a mainstay in the SERPS. We can understand from a business perspective how this makes a lot of sense; they can do away with free Google Business listings in the local pack and profit from offering these ads instead. These home service ads are similar to how Google have recently expanded to other industries and offering ad programs like Google Shopping and Google Flights. With the recent expansion to Sacramento, it leads us to believe the initial round of testing in the Bay Area is going well for Google.
From my years of experience in the Local SEO space, I believe this is also an effort to fix the problem of ineffective Google Business local listings. The local packs for home services return less than valuable search results, because the current Google business pages are not being managed properly or are lacking all the information that the customer would need to make a buying decision.
The home services program will allow Google to vet qualified technicians and set up a listing for their users that are more appealing and helpful from a UX perspective. If we look at the image from a mobile search for "San Francisco Plumbers" we can see that the current local 3 packs is showing 3 businesses that have little ratings, and the top business listing has a weak 2.2/5 star rating. When this happens the users does not get what they are looking for from local 3 pack in terms of business offerings or prices, so they will look down in the organic rankings to find more relevance and quality.
When we look at organic search results for home services related queries in a local area, we can begin to understand why Google has decided to compete in the Home Services space.
So, if we dive into the organic search results for a search query like "plumber in San Francisco" we can see the motives to implement these ads. The organic search results are far from diverse, the first three results are Yelp pages, and the rest are from similar home service directories like Yellow Pages and Angie's List.
Google introduces Home Services Ads to offer their list of vetted home service providers who have passed a rigorous background check and deliver the offerings that potential customers are looking for, without having to send searchers to another home services directory in their organic search results.
This is essentially taking out being the middleman for the middleman so that Google can be the primary beneficiaries from their searches in an effort to gain another revenue stream using Adwords. This can also be a continued effort from Google to answer searcher's queries without them having to click an organic result at all, much like how rich answers work.
Taking all the information above, do you think Home Services Ads are permanent? What do you think this means for the future of Local SEO? Do you believe this ad program will expand to other industries in the future? Let us know what you think with a comment below.

CARLSBAD, Calif., (Feb. 12, 2007) — Monster Energy-backed Ryan Villopoto (Pro Circuit/Kawasaki) took another giant step toward clinching the overall AMA Western Region Lites class championship this past weekend in Houston, winning the Lites main event in come-from-behind fashion in front of nearly 50,000 fans at Reliant Stadium, Round Six of the 2007 Amp'd Mobile AMA Supercross Series.
With the win Villopoto now leads Jason Lawrence by 34 points for the overall championship, 147-113. A win this weekend in San Diego, or a poor performance by Lawrence, would clinch the title for the young Washington native prior to the series' final Western Regional Lites championship round in Seattle (April 28th).
Said Villopoto on his $1,000 Progressive Direct holeshot: "The start was tight, I was lucky to have the fastest bike out there.
With Lawrence tight on his rear tire after the start, the No. 1 and No. 2 riders in the series got into a pretty aggro battle, trading the lead briefly early in the race, then having Lawrence take the lead when Villopoto was unable to avoid a downed rider. The points leader was able to right himself and take off after Lawrence, catching him within three laps then putting seven seconds on his rival for good measure.
"It's racing, said Villopoto of the banging incident with Lawrence. "I did go wide on that turn and left it open for him. But nothing more I can say about it. We're going for a championship here next week in San Diego.
Finishing 9th on the evening was Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Chris Gosselaar. Gosselaar is in 5th place in the overall Lites class standings.
Next up for the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team is Round Seven of the 2007 Amp'd Mobile AMA Supercross Series at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium. Last year Villopoto finished 5th at San Diego.
Monster Energy supports the sport. Be it motocross, surf, skate, snow, BMX — name it — the athletes are rockin' Monster Energy more than anything these days. Check out all the flavors — Original Monster Energy, Monster Lo-Carb, Monster Assault and the new Monster/fruit juice hybrid called "Khaos.

The SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), the world's largest gold bullion ETF, fell more than 1.5 percent today on news that George Soros cut his position in the fund by a whopping 55 percent to 600,000 shares during the fourth quarter of 2012, according to a quarterly regulatory filing.
Gold was last trading just above $1,607 after ending the session yesterday at $1,634.75. It hit a low just below $1,600 early in Friday's session. Viewing gold prices through the lens of the ETF, GLD closed yesterday at $158.35, and was last trading at $155.41 after hitting a low of $154.57.
Soros Fund Management holdings of GLD have ranged from 42,800 shares in 2011 to as much as 6.2 million shares in 2009.
However, Soros, while certainly well regarded, isn't known for being a steadfast gold bull. In September 2010, the billionaire investor said the yellow metal was "the ultimate asset bubble"; at the time, prices were trading at a mere $1,275.
A fellow billionaire, John Paulson, is known for having more conviction in the gold bull market. His closely watched holdings of the SPDR Gold Trust remained unchanged during the fourth quarter at 21.8 million shares.
Nevertheless, today's plunge in gold prices below $1,600 may have little to do with either of these billionaire investors, which Soros and Paulson detailed in so-called 13-F documents each filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday.
13F filings, required of institutional money managers who have at least $100 million in qualified assets under management, must be filed with the SEC 45 days after the end of each quarter.

The award came just days after Colombian voters narrowly rejected the peace deal
Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos won the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for his efforts to end a five-decades-long civil war that killed more than 200,000 people in the South American country.
Nobel authorities conspicuously left out his counterpart, Rodrigo Londono, the leader of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, from the honor.
The award came just days after Colombian voters narrowly rejected the peace deal that Santos helped bring about. The committee said that voters' rejection doesn't mean the peace process is dead.
"The referendum was not a vote for or against peace. What the `No' side rejected was not the desire for peace, but a specific peace agreement," said the committee declaration.
Santos is better known by his nom de guerre Timochenko, signed the peace deal last month, ending a half-century of hostilities.
However he had to bear a major setback from the public in the shock vote against the agreement in a referendum six days later.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee said it believes that Santos, despite the `No' majority vote in the referendum, has brought the bloody conflict significantly closer to a peaceful solution.
Award should also be seen as a tribute to the Colombian people who, despite great hardships and abuses, have not given up hope of peace, and to all the parties who have contributed in the process, said committee.

Essay by: makingo
Music blasted from Sage's room as I walked into the kitchen where my parents and Sage's now were.
"Hey honey, why aren't you with Sage?" My mother greeted as I took a sit next to her.
"Uh…Sage kind of kicked me out of her room."
Sage's mother shook her head; she was obviously very upset over her daughter's actions.
I smirked. Her parents were probably very unpleased with Sage at the moment. I wonder how much shit she would get in with them later on.
"That girl, she's very stubborn." Her mom muttered.
Her dad's fists were balled up, his knuckles almost turning white. I could tell he was holding in his anger and probably trying to keep himself from going and yelling at Sage.
I personally would love to see that. This girl needs to really be straightened out. Who the hell does she think she is anyway?
"We are so sorry about Sage; she will come around…eventually. It's all pretty new to her." Sage's dad said slowly, taking in a breath.
My mother, being the person that wanted to make everyone comfortable faked a laugh. "Oh don't worry about it, it's completely understandable." Patting me knee under the table, she continued. "I'm just happy that Nate isn't giving us trouble. At least both of them aren't rebelling. Now that wouldn't be too good."
I tried very hard not to roll my eyes at that, but failed, earning a nasty look from my dad. Well…they knew I wasn't going to "rebel". I wasn't like my sister.
I didn't want to let my parents down, as much as my selfishness would tell me I did.
"Uh... yea, what my mom said." I nodded.
Mrs. Phillips smiled and then grimaced. "That girl and her music, how rude." She shook her head, and then yelled. "Sage honey! Turn down that music and come downstairs. It's rude – we have guests over you know!"
I smirked when a very grumpy Sage appeared at the doorway of the kitchen, gliding over to the fridge without even looking at any of us. "What." Came out of her mouth as she opened the fridge and popped open a can of Root Beer.
"Well," My dad chirped in, "We've decided that it's best if you come over to our house, and live with us from now. You don't have a problem with that do you?"
I looked back to Sage, just waiting for her outburst. But it never came. She just stared blankly ahead at something and gulped down her drink like no one was talking.
Her dad shifted uncomfortably in his chair. "Sage, are you listening?"
Oh man, he is pissed at her.
"Huh? Oh yeah, whatever." That is what she said. She has got to be kidding me. I really thought I was in for a show.
Now if I was surprised, you could have guessed what the reactions of the adults were. They were looking from one to another, probably think the same thing; what happened to the stubborn Sage?
I think this is my queue to jump in and help my future hot bride. "Well hot stuff, I'll come and help you pack then." She stood frozen while I struggled to push in my chair.
And then came the outburst I was waiting for. "WHAT! THE! BEEP! ARE! YOU! TALKING! ABOUT!" She yelled, furiously. My parent's picked a real lady.
I couldn't help but laugh at that, as I looked to my parents. "You guys got a crazy one? What does she have…short term memory loss or something?" Like honestly, does she not remember what my mother just told her? I made my way to her, being nice and re-informing her about the plans. "My dad just said that you would be living with us…and you said whatever Sage. Are you okay or what?"
It took a second for her to register my words in her brain. "You have got to be kidding me." Huh…that came out calmer than I'd expected.
What a bimbo. "A, a, a DURR! Wake up." I couldn't help but laugh again, being around this girl would be fun. She's so dumb. I wrapped my hands around her waist, bugging her even more. "Come on, we are leaving soon so you have to start packing." I explained, guiding Sage out of the kitchen.
She didn't do anything to resist, she just followed me numbly as I led her up the stairs.
Well…nothing good lasts for too long. She snapped backed to her normal senses and shot out of my grip, yelling me to let go of her like I was some rapist or something. God, some people are just harsh. I watched as she ran up the remainder of the steps and slammed the door to her room once she was inside.
I sighed as I walked back downstairs. Was I too ugly for her or something? I didn't think so…but then again people have different standards.
…who am I kidding? We are perfect for each other. She is gorgeous and I'm dashing.
Perfect match.
Now all we need to do is work on that damn personality of hers.
"NATHANIAL! GET YOUR SLEAZY ASS UP TO MY DAMN ROOM THIS INSTANT!" I groaned. I just sat down for heaven's sake.
Ugh, don't want to make the bitch angrier do we now? I took my time going up the stairs, because I felt like it. "Yeah, what?" I asked, stepping into her room.
Oh, someone is mad. She's crossing her arms at me. "Where the hell do you live you cow?" Oh..and she's glaring too.
Wait a minute…cow. I'm not going to lose that am I? Cow though? Where does she get cow from? This girl is ridiculously cute in a weird way man.
"Cow? That's really nice Sage."
"Answer me damn it." She growled, hitting me lightly over the head.
Oh okay, so she likes violence.
I wonder if she likes violence in the bed. Or if she likes to dominate.
Hmm…we'll have to see tonight.
"Just two hours or so away from here. Why does it matter?" It wasn't like it made a difference. She wouldn't be living there for a long time anyways.
To England we would go after the wedding.
I wonder who's going to be the poor person to tell her that. She is going to jump off a cliff.
"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GO TO SCHOOL HERE IF I LIVE FREAKING 2 HOURS AWAY FROM IT." She screamed, going completely ballistic.
"You are going to go where I go. Same school…we get to spend a lot of time together." I smiled, stepping closer to her. I wonder if she'll like the fact that it's an all guys' school. Oh man, her face will be priceless.
Sage glared, taking a step away from me. What was wrong with her? Maybe she was a lesbian.
Holy shit that would make SO MUCH sense. Hmm… that's kind of hot.
"Hell no, that's it. I am not going anywhere." She stomped all the way to her bed, grabbing her phone forcefully and dialing a number. "Dude, I'm going to kill myself." She stated all of a sudden.
Whoever she was calling answered, and then Sage rolled her eyes. "Not literally idiot." Wow... who is she calling idiot? I felt my phone vibrate.
Hey bro. A bitch, eh? That sucks. But listen, you can always do what I did. Love you.
I sighed. She just didn't understand. Did she not understand how much she hurt mom and dad when she left like that?
But still…you know what's happening here? Well guess what, I'm going to start World War III because they want me to move in with this cow named Nate, or AKA my future husband." Sage complained to whoever she was talking to.
I texted Shailyn back.
Yes, but a hot one, remember that. And no, I'm not doing what you did. You know I could never do that.
I was going to be king soon, not another child that my parents pretend wasn't born.

If you're like most athletes, you believe that a commitment to the psychological dimension of your game will not only enhance your performance but also bring you closer to reaching your potential.
If you are also like most people, you may begin a mental skills program enthused and motivated for the first couple of weeks. But if you don't see dramatic results immediately, you may be tempted to revert back to your earlier habits.
Here's a look at some common roadblocks people face when dabbling in sports psychology, and what athletes can do to push through the resistance and reach their athletic goals.
No Quick Fix
In some ways, mental skills training is like the familiar New Years Resolution to "get in shape." Unfortunately, data indicates that 50 percent of the people who start an exercise and fitness program drop out within the first six months.
Our culture has sold us on the idea of quick fixes and immediate change. Instead of thinking of mental preparation as a "magic pill"—think of it as a "steady diet."
You will see results only if you commit to it in the same way you do the technical, tactical and physiological aspects—namely consistent and prolonged effort over time.
Why Athletes Give Up on the Mental Game
If so many top-level athletes and coaches extol the benefits of mental training for peak performance, then why do a relatively small percentage of teams and individuals commit to practicing and refining this critical part of performance?
Listed are the top four reasons athletes and teams give up on a mental skills program:
- I don't have enough time
- I'd like to do psychological skills training (PST) but I don't know how.
- You're either mentally tough and motivated or you're not. It can't be taught or acquired, so why try.
- People need to "pull themselves up by the bootstraps" and not look for improvements from this new fad. We never did any of that stuff when I was an athlete.

Personal and political considerations complicate the renaming of the MOSI school.
By LETITIA STEIN, Times Staff Writer
Published November 13, 2007
TAMPA - In uneven, oversized letters, the children wrote the name they want for the new school at the Museum of Science and Industry.
MOSI Partnership, with a bubble over the "i."
They've been using that name since the school opened in August. Principal Cheryl Dafeldecker pleaded the case at the last School Board meeting, before the vote on the official school name.
"Keep us our MOSI Magic," she said, invoking their mascot.
If only it were so easy. The kids were up against organized petition drives for local African-American leaders and a pitch for recently deceased John J. Iorio, a longtime University of South Florida professor and the father of Tampa's mayor.
After deadlocking, the board put off a decision between the MOSI Partnership and Iorio names until all members were present.
In this case, Hillsborough finds itself in the unusual position of naming a school that's already up and running. But drama over school names is nothing new.
Lobbying can be intense over the opportunity to name a school for a favorite civic leader. Geography is always fair game - think Westchase Elementary. Some think there's a sweet spot for prominent educators.
There's no magic formula.
Just ask Hector Vila, one of seven brothers whose collective military service spans World War II to Operation Desert Storm. He sought to place the name "Vila Brothers" on a middle school opening in Citrus Park.
Sen. Bill Nelson wrote a letter of support, along with a who's who of local politicians, from Public Defender Julianne Holt to County Commissioners Rose Ferlita and Brian Blair.
Alas for the Vilas, it wasn't enough. After two votes at the board meeting last week, applause rang out for Sgt. Paul R. Smith Middle School, recognizing a former Hillsborough student posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism in Iraq.
While Vila was pleased to see a soldier honored, he wonders what it will take to see a Vila Brothers school. In a previous attempt, he collected signatures for a petition drive, at the suggestion of a school official. Two thousand names later, it didn't do the trick.
"I learned in the Marine Corps, if you go take this route and you're not successful, you try another one," the 76-year-old veteran said, proudly touting his USMC Korea service on a polo shirt.
He pondered his next move at the kitchen table. "You just keep trying until your mission is complete."
For Fran Costantino, that may involve compromise.
She is leading the Iorio push on behalf of the East Ybor Historic and Civic Association. After the board's tie vote, she proposed as a compromise the Dr. John J. Iorio Elementary School at MOSI.
"I think it's just a waste when we name schools after geographic references and subdivisions," Costantino said.
Others, though, have lobbied for geographic names as a way to foster a sense of community.
Costantino shied away from a petition drive, given Iorio's high-profile daughter. If she had made the decision political, she thinks the effort could have seen a better chance of succeeding on the first try.
"The system is fundamentally flawed, and it needs to be revisited," she said, suggesting a points system to vet candidates. "It should be on merit."
Carol Kurdell, Hillsborough's longest-serving board member, has named well in excess of 60 schools. She finds few decisions more emotional.
"It's never easy," Kurdell said. "People need to understand that we take it very seriously."
Petitions and letter-writing campaigns don't sway her, although she appreciates the input. She says a conversation sometimes makes the difference.
Nothing is set in stone. She initially voted for the MOSI Partnership name, but might reconsider on the tiebreaker.
The museum's president hopes she'll wait until the next school.
"There will always be a new elementary school in town, and there will always be opportunities to name them after famous people," MOSI president Wit Ostrenko said. "But there will only be one school at MOSI."

'Deadpool' Emojis Revealed as '12 Days of Deadpool' Continues
Deadpool is here to solve all of your texting needs. As part of the full-fledged marketing campaign for Deadpool, starring Ryan Reynolds, 20th Century Fox has unveiled a new set of emoji's featuring the "Merc with a Mouth" and some of his friends as part of the studio's "12 Days of Deadpool," social media marketing blitz.
The emoji's can now be downloaded on Apple and Google Play devices. New content from the film has been released each day counting down until the new trailer will debut on Christmas Day. The emoji's are the 8th day of surprises in the "12 Days of Deadpool." Other highlights from the "12 Days of Deadpool" include the "Ugly Christmas Sweater" photo, a new teaser image, and a page from the script with notes included from Wade Wilson/Deadpool himself.
Deadpool isn't your typical Marvel superhero and tells the unconventional story of a foul-mouthed anti-hero. "Deadpool tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life," shared ComicBook.com The "12 Days of Deadpool" continues this week, leading up to the new trailer on Christmas Day. Take a look at the first trailer below. See Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool when the film hits theaters February 12, 2016.
