Facial Hair Friday: William and William (A Tale of Two Neck Beards)
Why were neck beards ever socially acceptable? In my humble opinion, they are the facial equivalent of mullets or bowl cuts. Unlike bad haircuts, however, they may have had some useful characteristics. Maybe they kept cold wind from blowing in men's collars. Maybe their wives objected to prickly beards and mustaches but the husbands still wanted facial hair?
At any rate, two of President Lincoln's cabinet members had neck beards.
William Fessenden, whose neck hair is on the less-offensive side of neck beards, served as President Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury from July 1864 to March 1865. Prior to his appointment, he served as a Whig Representative and then a Republican Senator for Maine, during which time he strongly opposed slavery. Part of the Peace Congress in 1861, he was appointed as Head of the Finance Committee. His fantastic performance on the Committee prompted his appointment as Secretary of the Treasury. He stabilized the national financial situation, then resigned to return to the Senate.
Fessenden headed the Joint Committee on Reconstruction and was responsible for readmitting Southern states to the Union. He recommended procedures based on the Constitution and the Law of Nations and recommended safeguards to prevent future rebellion. He was widely considered the leader of the Senate Republicans. However, during President Johnson's impeachment trial, he bravely … [ Read all ]

Facial Hair Friday: The Curiously Facial Hairless Members of Lincoln's Cabinet
In the late 1700s, as Americans fought for their independence, most men were clean-shaven. As we moved into the 1800s, however, facial hair—elaborate facial hair, at that—came back into style.
Despite this shift, many men remained clean-shaven. A smooth face was often considered more professional and refined, but facial hair denoted ruggedness.
It is not a huge surprise, therefore, that many of President Lincoln's cabinet members had no facial hair.
Montgomery Blair was an abolitionist despite his upbringing in a prominent slave-holding family in Franklin County, Kentucky. He was also one of the founders of the Republican party. President Lincoln appointed Blair as his Postmaster General in 1861, then replaced him in 1864, following Blair's own suggestion. Blair told his wife that the President "acted from the best motives" and that "it is for the best all around." He campaigned for Lincoln's reelection and remained close with Lincoln's family.
Simon Cameron was orphaned at age nine and apprenticed to printer and editor Andrew Kennedy. He entered into journalism, and later rail line construction and banking, among other business enterprises. He was first elected to the Senate as a Democrat in 1844, but eventually switched to the Republican party. Although Cameron was nominated as a presidential candidate in the 1860 election, he gave … [ Read all ]

Facial Hair Friday: Gideon Welles, Bearded and Bright
Since the new film Lincoln has spent a few weeks in theaters, we thought it'd be interesting to learn more about President Lincoln's fantastically hairy cabinet.
First up is Gideon Welles, who served as President Lincoln's and then as President Johnson's Secretary of the Navy from 1861 to 1869, the longest anyone had held the position. Born to an esteemed Connecticut family, Welles had facial hair almost as prodigious as his political presence.
Gideon Welles graduated from what is now Norwich University in Vermont with a degree in law. However, he found he had a knack for journalism and became editor and part owner of the Hartford Times in 1826. That year, he was also elected to the legislature. As a Jacksonian Democrat, Welles supported wide-spread enfranchisement and President Jackson's anti-bank campaign. In 1836, Jackson appointed Welles as the postmaster of Hartford, Connecticut, until William Henry Harrison removed him in 1841.
When the "slavery issue" emerged in the 1850s, Welles became a major figure in the newly formed Republican party, serving as Republican national committeeman and member of the party's national executive committee. He also helped establish the Hartford Evening Press to support the party. He was a strong advocate for … [ Read all ]

The Real Widows of the Pension Office
Today's post was written by Pamela Loos-Noji, a former volunteer with the Civil War Widows Pension Project. The National Archives holds 1.28 million case files of pension applications from family members of deceased Civil War Union soldiers. A team of more than 60 volunteers, led by National Archives staff, is digitizing the files and placing them online. Pamela will be giving a talk on "The Real Widows of the Pension Office" on October 16 and 18.
The reason I decided to volunteer was an article written by a friend of mine about her experience working with the Civil War Widows Pension Project. She wove a compelling story of the person at the center of her file and brought the relationship between a mother and her soldier son to life in a way that surprised me. I was hooked. I, too, wanted to find stories, have people from the past speak to me of their lives, and to share what I learned.
The years after the Civil War were right in the middle of the Victorian era. In my mind, Victorians were uptight, straight-laced people who did not express strong feelings and who acted in a very proper manner. I couldn't have been more wrong!
In fact, I learned a lesson I thought I'd already learned about history. People are the same as they've always been. … [ Read all ]

Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on display in New York City
The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation. . . . In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free—honorable alike in what we give, and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best, hope of earth. President Abraham Lincoln, 1862.
Two original versions of President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation will be displayed together for the first time in the Schomburg Center in New York City from September 21 to 24.
This is a rare opportunity to see the signed draft that is part of the holdings of the National Archives. This document represents the transformation of the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation from intent to action. On September 22, 1862, Lincoln's handwritten draft was transcribed, affixed with the Seal of the United States, and signed by him. The Proclamation now carried the force of law.
The Proclamation had been in development since the summer. In July 1862, President Lincoln read his "preliminary proclamation" to his Cabinet but decided to wait for a Union military victory to issue it. On September 17, 1862, over 6,000 Union and Confederate men died at Antietam in the bloodiest day in American history. Thousands more were wounded or missing. It was also the 75th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution.

North Korea
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a country in East Asia, located in the northern half of the Korean Peninsula bordering South Korea and China. Its capital, Pyongyang, is the country's largest city by both land area and population. It is a single-party state led by the Korean Workers' Party (KWP), and governed by Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un since 2012. It has a population of 24,052,231 (UN-assisted DPRK census 2008) made up of Koreans and a smaller Chinese minority. Japan 'opened' Korea in 1876 and annexed it in 1910. The Republic of Korea (ROK) was founded with US support in the south in August 1948 and the Soviet-backed Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) in the north in September that year.
Swedish firm denies selling North Korea snow cannons
Most Popular
When North Korea's state media last week issued pictures of leader Kim Jong-un visiting a new ski field he ordered built, one firm in Sweden couldn't believe what it was seeing.
Its snow cannons were being used to coat the slopes of the Masik Pass Ski Resort in white - despite European Union sanctions meant to prevent impoverished North Korea getting its hands on luxury goods and equipment.
"I have no idea how they turned up in North Korea. We did not sell them directly to North Korea," the chief of the Areco company, Johan Erling, told the Dagens Nyheter newspaper.
Kim last Tuesday took a ride up a ski lift in the resort, a pet project he had built with "lightning speed" and which he claimed was "the centre of the world's attention", North Korean state media reported.
Pictures of the resort showed some of its reported 110 kilometres of ski runs, a hotel, heliport and cable cars - and, in some of them, Areco's snow cannons.
Erling said he had called Areco's reseller in China, who assured him "he hadn't sold snow cannons there".
The machines were therefore likely second-hand and difficult to trace, Erling concluded.
The North Korean resort made headlines in August when Switzerland blocked a US$7.6 million sale of ski lifts to Pyongyang, calling it a "propaganda project" for the regime.
But North Korea's leader has been undeterred in trying to portray his country as host of a string of "world-class" leisure parks.
In October, Kim opened a water-park complex with indoor and outdoor pools, slides and saunas. In September, he watched films at a new "4D" cinema in a renovated amusement park, where he also rode a roller coaster.

In a famous Andy Griffith show, the excellent Briscoe Darling indicates his love for music by telling Sheriff Taylor: "If you've got time to breathe, you've got time for music." I feel much the same way about a favorite passion of mine. To slightly alter Darling's line, if you've got time to breathe, you've got time for barbecue. And my love for the slow-smoked meats has taken me this summer to key points in Oklahoma and Texas. As Bob Phillips says, why don't you hop in and ride along.
Anyone familiar with me knows that I swear by the high quality of Head Country dry rub and barbecue sauce when running my smoker at home. Seasoning meats with the rub before putting them on the smoker means that the end product will have a great deal more flavor than unseasoned smoked meats. And their sauce is an excellent product that isn't too tangy or too sweet, a fitting compliment to a finished piece of smoked beef, pork or chicken.
To learn a little more about this family-owned operation, I trekked up to Ponca City, located in the northern part of the Sooner State and headquarters of the Head Country operation, roughly twenty-five miles south of the Kansas border.
History notes that the story started when Donovan "Bud" Head was a cook on a naval destroyer during World War II. It was there that he developed his now legendary barbecue sauce recipe. After leaving the military and returning home to northern Oklahoma, Donovan continued making the sauce for friends and family. In 1977 the recipe was sold to a nephew, and commercial production began. It's now the top selling bottled sauce in Oklahoma and has made serious inroads into neighboring states.
In addition to their production facility, the Head Country folks also run a barbecue restaurant in Ponca City. It's a relatively small and unpretentious building decked out in standard western decor. Once inside, there's no mistaking it's a barbecue joint. The smell of smoke hits you as soon as you enter. And the food doesn't disappoint. Everything from brisket to ribs to half chickens are seasoned and slow-smoked to a delicious and tender state. And your typical side dishes are impressive as well.
Quite a bit farther south and much closer to home is Main Street Barbecue in Durant. A relative newcomer to the barbecue scene, meaning it opened its doors within the last twenty years, Main Street is an old bank building that has been converted to a top-notch eatery.
While the owners are youngsters, they have accelerated the learning curve and cook delicious smoked meats like aged veterans. And while you can get standard, delicious sides such as pinto beans, potato salad and coleslaw, they also feature more variety with awesome corn fritters , waffle fries and deep-fried, battered green beans that come with ranch dipping sauce.
Once south of the Rio Rojo again, my trek took me to Central Texas, a region just east of the Austin area to legendary barbecue restaurants that have been highly touted in print, on television, the internet, etc. Basically all of these joints started out in the late 1800s or early 1900s as combination grocery stores/meat markets. Since refrigeration technology was in it's infancy and imperfect, there tended to be more spoilage of fresh meats, which, of course, meant lost sales and profits. In order to curb such losses, aged meats were slow-smoked to tender perfection in giant brick pits and sold as barbecue. One market after another started cutting back on their grocery business and further emphasized their barbecue side until they became known largely as barbecue restaurants.
While the restaurants in Oklahoma served their offerings on plates and provided silverware, sauce, etc, the famous barbecue joints of Central Texas perhaps leave you feeling as if you have stepped back to a point in time when food was served in a more rustic fashion. Don't shy away from the seemingly less civilized process. Embrace it in all of its glory and enjoy the experience. As my mother used to say, get it all over yourself.
In these Lone Star legends you typically start out by ordering your favorite smoked meats, including brisket, ribs, sausage, chicken, pork loin, ad infinitum, from a counter in a very warm room that houses the brick pits where the meat is smoked, cooked and kept warm. Plates, knives, forks? Perish the thought! Your meat is served on a giant piece of butcher paper with your choice of crackers or white bread to go with it.
From there you step into an air-conditioned dining room to finish your ordering process with a choice of standard sides, drink, dessert and lots of napkins. Sauce? As with silverware, perish the thought. It is argued that the meat has plenty of flavor thus eliminating the need for sauce. Now you sit down and eat with your hands, thus relishing in the ultimate barbecue experience. (For the squeamish amongst you, plastic ware is provided for sides and dessert. I mean, let's face it, we are not animals.)
Now that I have described the Central Texas process, let's visit a few of the legendary joints. We're gonna have a good time, I can feel it all over more than anywhere else.
I decided to go to my farthest point south and start making my way back north. So I started at The City Market in Luling, appropriately located on Davis Street.
City Market got its start in roughly 1958 and has been widely praised in publications such as Southern Living and Texas Monthly. It was here that I got my initiation into the process of ordering your meats first while standing next to hot pits fueled by post oak wood. I literally had to step out of the way while the pit master stoked the fire right next to me. Since meats are sold by the pound, I wasn't frowned on when I asked for only one each of the following: slice of brisket, a pork rib and a sausage ring. The experience lived up to my expectations. And locals apparently agree. Even though it was just a little after 10:30, the place was quickly filling up with folks headed to tables with their butcher paper-wrapped smoky delights.
From Luling I headed north to what is considered the Barbecue Capitol of Texas, Lockhart. It's home to what some call the Holy Trinity of Texas BBQ - Kreuz Market, Smitty's and Black's Barbecue. While I took in the first two joints named, I merely peaked in on Black's lest I go on barbecue overload. Not that I am slighting the place. Many say the food there is awesome. It's just that they do a buffet line and serve on plates, and I was staying true to the butcher paper routine. Plus it gives me a reason to return to Lockhart when the urge hits.
Kreuz meat market and grocery store was started in 1900 by Charles Kreuz, Sr. Eventually the grocery side gave way to the smoked meat side, and by the 1920s the barbecue business was taking off. In 1948, the business was sold to a veteran employee, Edgar Schmidt. In 1984, Schmidt sold the thriving restaurant to his sons, Rick and Don.
In 1997 Don Schmidt retired leaving the operations to Rick. Roughly that same year Rick had a disagreement with the building owner, his sister, Nina Sells, over rent and proposed renovations. While you would think something as awesome and heavenly as tender, delicious slow-smoked meats would only foster family togetherness, such is not necessarily the case. Trust me, this I know.
By 1999 Rick had moved to a new, much larger building farther north on Colorado Street. The new Kreuz Market houses eight, sixteen-foot-long brick pits that go through 80 to 100 briskets, 100 racks of pork ribs and 6 barrels of sausage on a typical Saturday. To call it impressive is a serious understatement. The food and atmosphere were a true experience.
So what became of the old, original Kreuz Market? It became known as Smitty's, and is still doing an impressive business of its own.
As I watched locals going into Smitty's, I did not realize that they were using the rear entrance. Therefore, I encountered the very warm pit room first. As a result, I walked right by a hot open fire that feeds the pits.
No closed firebox here; the heat and flames were right in the open. As I wondered how such an open fire doesn't appear to raise serious liability issues, it dawned on me that entering from the front of the restaurant, facing Commerce Street, means you don't get close to the fire. Lest I appear totally ignorant, I kept this minor epiphany to myself.
As with the other joints, the food and atmosphere lived up to expectations; disappointment was nowhere to be seen.
From Lockhart I drove roughly sixty miles to Taylor. Driving slow allowed my appetite to return. So I took in my last stop for the day, Louie Mueller's Barbecue. It is no exaggeration to say that Mueller's has seen a lot of publicity as of late. This rustic looking icon, started in 1959, has been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives and the Cooking Channel's Man, Fire & Food. It has also been a recipient of the highly-coveted James Beard Foundation Award. It is now run by third-generation pit master, Wayne Mueller.
While you are not allowed quite as close to the pits as the previous places, they make up for it by skipping air conditioning. But not to worry, there are lots of large windows, all of which were open on this hot July 22nd.
And the food? Once again, disappointment was nowhere close. The sausage was spicy and delicious, the pork rib came clean off the bone and had an intense smoky flavor, and the black crusted brisket melted in my mouth. I seriously paused a moment to let it all soak in.
After Taylor it was time to return to Fannin County. My arteries could take no more; several days of eating salad lie ahead. But it was well worth it. It was much more than just good food. It was: stepping back in time and enjoying legendary barbecue joints that have fed millions of people over many decades; enjoying ordering from the pit rooms and being served on butcher paper. It was, in other words, a blending of two of my favorite passions - barbecue and history. I enjoyed every little second of it. As Hank Williams, Jr. stated in his song "Country State of Mind:" if the sun don't come up tomorrow, people I have had a good time.

Are you talking about the brake pedal? You asked about it not going down, then say it goes down?
Reply9lives, January 23, 2014, 07:47Rookie
yes I am talking about the brake pedal, the one near the gas pedal. It goes down when I first start the car and shift into reverse, the I take my foot off the pedal to back up it is when I step on the brake pedal agin to stop car from backing up that it will not go down. Seems after a few seconds if I try it again it will go down. Today I did not let car warm up much and it did it for the first time going forward
ReplyProfessorG, January 23, 2014, 08:48Master
possibly vacuum to the brake booster issue; Have vacuum supply, check valve tested. Would seem the vacuum is not recovering quickly enough.

what are you looking for in a help desk we use one that's open source but it dosent support email or AD. so im looking for something difrernt but as of yet ive not found anything open source.
If any.
We're currently looking to migrate to a better helpdesk system, so any recommendations would be oh so helpful.
Ones I know so far are the likes of Zendesk, but Zendesk is way too expensive (and probably overkill too)

We use Request tracker which is free/open source. We use it for our own queues the Admin Staff and also the Premises staff.
uses Imap to connect to a mailbox and pulls the info from there. Its Linux based.
We use spiceworks here, works fine. Note, however, that the network health scan/discovery scan can chew through resources on the machine you put it on. We put it on our file server, and it ended up using around 70% of the server's capabilities, slowing everything else down.
So, put it either on its own server or in a VM where you can control its resources.
In my last school, I started with GLPI but found it a bit unreliable (it has improved greatly since then - that was 4 years ago). When I left, I was using Request Tracker.
All of these are free, the latter 2 are open source.

Hmmm, Spiceworks looks very interesting. I'll have a look at that
Manageengine service desk plus. Good helpdsk software prob to powerful for a school though.
In house system built built by our web guy. Great System shows requests on a 50inch plasma on the office wall
It's a shame Spiceworks hasn't got a Linux release, as we were looking to either externally host or integrate with our current web server.
We are a big fan of Web Help Desk, nice and easy to use with EDU pricing as well Web Help Desk - Powerful and Affordable Help Desk Software
OSTickets - It's free and highly customizable!!
I'll just add that OSTickets works with AD.
+1 for Spiceworks

You just have to be careful what size they are.
What we do is tie one to the bow handle and hang it in front of the bow so it's out of the paddlers line of sight, no night vision problems.
We also tie one to the back of the paddlers PFD shoulder strap, so it's up higher and both boat and paddler are marked.

WATERBURY -- A fistfight on a dance floor erupted into a bloody brawl in a bar parking lot that left a New Haven man recovering from stab wounds, according to police.
Witnesses told police Henry Montgomery, 40, and his girlfriend, Lady Williams, 30, were dancing at the Barley Corn on Store Avenue early Saturday when Richie Fortt, 26, cut between the couple.

Ford Freestyle Maintenance and Repair
If you can catch a good sale on those XtraVision twin packs at Pep Boys, you can get them cheap. I forgot what I paid for mine, but I remember it was a screaming good twin-pack sale. The same H13 went out on my '05 F150 2WD, so I figure I might as well get the twin pack because the '05 Freestyle will probably have an outage before too long. They say replace them in pairs, but I don't see why. So what if the older one is slightly less bright?
What I really want for my birthday is to fit a pair of LED fog lamps to the Freestyle. Gotta have that. Anybody seen anything like that? LEDs would be cool because they draw so little current (amps).
romie5123 Posts: 1I also today took our 2006 ford freestyle in because of rear brake issues. The freestyle needs pads & rotors. (and a caliper on the right side.) $500.00 dollars. There is only 31,000 miles on the car. I am not happy to say the least. There seems to be a problem from what the other posts suggests. Any solutions???
I think my 500 had a new caliper at about 25-30k....It was hanging and causing the brakes to be wrecked.......I was quoted around 300.00 for fronts on my 500 which I was told that needed to be replaced (also was told that my shocks are shot after 30k........so I will take the brakes with a grain of shot.....)
500.00 doesn't sound that bad for new gear
Have '06 freestyle with 45K miles. Developed pattern of starting ahrd. And then just wouldn't start earlier this week. Would turn over but not start. Lights would dim some so I changed out battery 2 days ago. Started okay for 2 days then same problem. Took 8 minutes of cranking to start. Finlly floored and cranked until it started. THinking fuel filter any other thoughts?
bruneau1 Posts: 468I don't know if my problem is the same as yours, but my Freestyle was having cold start problems. The dealer replaced the throttle body under our extended warranty. Works fine now. Good luck. Have your codes checked- we had two codes come up and there is a TSB on this problem.
dukhook, The dealership service dept. should be told about TSB 06-20-7 by number so they can look it up, as it solves the problem:
2005-2007 Five Hundred, Freestyle
2005-2007 Montego
Some 2005-2007 Five Hundred, Freestyle, and Montego vehicles built on or before 6/6/2006 may exhibit a long cranking time or a possible no-start on initial start attempt. This symptom may also be accompanied by the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0300, P0316, P2107, and P2110. If the vehicle exhibits the long crank / no start issue, reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM). If the vehicle just exhibits these DTCs without the long crank / no start symptom follow normal Powertrain Controls/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual diagnostics instead of this TSB.
Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 44.24 and higher or 45.3 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2006.9 DVD. Calibration files may also be obtained at the website.

plan_engineer Posts: 1Yup, the transmission behavior in the Freestyle is a bit unusual but it's no mistake.
It downshifts (allows the engine to rev-up) when going down a steep hill to maintain a steady speed. It means you don't need to downshift into a lower gear, like you would in most cars, to allow the engine to do most of the braking. This prevents brakes from overheating will extend the life of the brake pads. So, if you are coming down a hill, it keeps the truck from go more than ~5 MPH faster than when you were at the crest. To defeat this feature and let it coast faster, simply hold the gas pedal slightly depressed for about 3 seconds. If you push it very slightly, you won't rev-up the engine, but you will signal the computer that you want to let the truck coast faster.
The trans also downshifts when you go uphill greater than a ~5% grade so that the engine will be reving alittle faster, just in case you want to pass or accelerate, so the truck will have better throttle response. I don't know of any way to defeat this, unfortunately.
I like the feature where it downshifts on the downgrade because I don't even need to touch the brake, even though everyone else on the road has their brake lights going on & off. Just sit back, and let the engine do it's thing. I wish I could disable the downshifting on uphills though--while the passing response is nice, I usually just want to maintain a steady speed up the hill and don't need any downshifting.
(Yes, I was an automotive engineer in the past...)
zobes Posts: 1I need to replace a brake light and I can't remove the lamp housing from the back of the car. I have removed the two screws from the inside of the door but the housing still appears to be attached. I'm not sure what it's stuck on but I'm afraid of applying full force and breaking something. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas? Thanks!
curtisc63 Posts: 10I had to replace the gas liftgate struts on my 2005 a few months ago. Struts and install from my local dealer would have been $85. Struts alone from Ford were $35+/- and install was only a couple minutes each side. Very easy to do, no tools needed (that I recall).
BTW - I believe NAPA also had the struts but they were ~$30 - not much different.
bobnu75 Posts: 21Also, there are two pins with heads on the front of the assembly that pressure fit into rubber grommets in the body. Once the screws are out, if you grip the front of the light housing (on the side of the car) with your finger tips and wiggle it back towards the rear (it eventually comes out) to get the pins released from the grommets.
bobw3 Posts: 2,997I just had to replace the power steering pump at 72,000 miles. It didn't fail, but it's been groaning pretty loud on hot days. It was covered under my extended warranty, so I didn't have to pay anything ($0 deductable) but I'm wondering how much I would have paid if I didn't have the warranty.
sycamoreken Posts: 1Hello all.
My wife and I bought our 2006 Freestyle with 80,000 miles on it last month. We love almost everything about it, the cargo space the comfortable ride, and its apperance. We have had a couple of things happen that I did not see addressed here in the posts I read. (I only read about half, but did do a 2006 search.)
The first thing that has been happening is that after sitting at an idle for 5 minutes or more with the AC on it behaves strangely when put into gear. The warning lights come on and it revs and jerks. When truned off and then turned back on it is fine.
The other issue is with the car surging as i did see on here. It does this at low speeds such as in a parking lot or when I slow down to park. This is disconcerting to say the least. I thought it was because I was hitting the acc. with my big foot while applying the break, but that is not the problem.
Any help on how i can fix these issues would be greatly appreciated. I'm glad i found this board. It has a ton of great info. thanks to you all.
Also, where can we get an owners manual? It was not in the car when we bought it.
Thanks in advance for any help provided.
There are occasional problems with the "throttle-by-wire" system on the Freestyle reported by some owners. That might be what you are seeing. Your foot on the accel pedal actually sends an electrical (not mechanical) signal to the engine. The accel pedal is directly connected to an integral transducer, and that might be the part that is going awry here. Also, the engine itself must receive the electrical signal via a sensor to command the engine throttle to move, so there might be problems on that end. A Ford technician is accustomed to these issues, since Ford has been using the throttle-by-wire system. I think there may be Technical Service Bulletins published by Ford for use by technicians to help guide them through diagnosis/replacement. A Ford dealership (service advisor) might be able to find that Technical Service Bulletin through a keyword search on their computers into that database.
There was a discussion between myself and jrmust (among others) Click Here to view.
The throttle body sensor (on the engine) and the accel pedal transducer are both possible failure points, and the discussion and Technical Service Bulletins cited may help you in a conversation with a Ford technician. Possible anyway.
carstenb Posts: 37that part is worn/cracked on our 2005 FS (56k mls). It's in the repair shop right now and replacement will be around $500 as it is not covered by the ESP. I didn't find anything related on here but on another forum
Seems to be not uncommon and a bit early for them to wear out. Does anyone know if there's a TSB out (couldn't find one)? Should i complain and try to get some money back or do i just have to accept it?
Thanks, Carsten
I did a bing.com search (starting to like that better than google.com) and found a cool PDF file some Freestyle owners may want to peruse. Click Here for article.
Back on carstenb's subject (#1293 above), rockauto.com sells a motor mount (articulated bushing) for $71. Couldn't find the torque strut or transaxle roll resistor for sale anywhere.
Caution: It seems very unlikely that all three of these would suddenly go bad at the same time. I wonder if the repair shop is putting their thumb on the scales here. A little extra business for them. I'd ask for the old parts back, although, if this is fraud, they might be able to rough the old parts up a little to fake wear. Just suspicious. Those parts normally break if the vehicle is operated over rough roads, but even then its incredibly rare for all three to fail at the same time, and especially after just 56k miles. Has the car hit any severe bumps recently? Those mounts and torque structural elements get stressed heavily when curbs or railroad tracks are hit hard, or just rough roads.
I think if you complain to Ford it will go nowhere.

And at least for a while yet, there are customers who have been buying resin sets who would like buy more sets to "finish" their collections, rather than sell it all on E-Bay and start over with GameTiles.
And those who would like to start. my biggest concern is about buying advanced pieces that don't quite match Game Tiles for basic sets that I am not confident will ever be produced. Not an issue for Realm of the Ancients , but for Wicked Sets, and other sets it concerns me. I could by the Den of Evil expansion, but it seems that it sort of requires the first Den of Evil.
Basically, I am saying it is hard for those of us who don't have years of sets to get started in resin if we can't expect to be able to buy basic sets. If they are not there for the Game Tile new customers, then the sets will die off because the older customers already have them.

The more resin sets new customers buy, the more likely they are to be restocked again.
But loaded phrases can reduce any customers' willingness to buy resin sets for those very reasons.
My hope is that rather than lose any resin sets or lines permanently, DF might consider doing a kickstarter every couple of years for resin sets that they don't want to restock routinely. They would be able to control the minimum order size and assure that the sets ordered don't take up valuable inventory space. And since these sets/lines have already been developed, there would be very little cost involved in reviving a resin set for a kickstarter.

I almost hate to weigh in to this morass, but i will add my two cents worth.
(By way of disclosure: i own only a few bits and pieces of resin, no whole sets. I came to this through the Kickstarter and Dwarvenite fits my mobile game style. I will own resin one day and would like to supplement my GT collection with some signature rooms and pieces for memorable encounters.)
What i find most troubling about this entire dialogue is that resin seems to be at risk because dwarvenite is so successful. Part of that is that it is the only thing available. It is hard to fault resin for not being viable when no one can purchase it at any price. eBay has shown us quite clearly that resin sets can absorb a price increase.
As much as i am waiting for the next Kickstarter, i really wish DF would restock resin first. Last time around they missed a huge opportunity to sell resin to the new converts to the fold, That business went to eBay instead. A quick troll of these forums will find many people who have spent hundreds and in some cases thousands of dollars on resin sets, just since May. Lost opportunity for DF and lost revenue that could help keep the signature product viable and available.
Have a full inventory of resin, then do the next Kickstarter. Then the products can compete and compliment one another on a level playing field. Only then will you know what customers will truly support. Once accurate data is at hand, then can decisions be made about the fate of certain product lines.
Kickstarter is an exciting way of doing business, but it is also troublesome. By offering great deals up front, you run the risk of saturating the market and decreasing the volume of regular day to day sales. Resin is a magnificent insurance policy against the "all at once" nature of dwarvenite kickstarters, but only if it is available. While windfalls are great, they come with their own challenges. There is something to be said for a steady revenue stream. With dwarvenite and resin, DF can have both. I sincerely hope that they make the choices that will allow those two lines to continue to coexist.

Unfortunately Resin production takes 3 times as long as Dwarvenite....you must factor that in...so, if we were to hold off till we restocked resin we would be waiting till 2015....I think I can guess the answer to: should we wait till then? I am not trying to be a dampener here, I appreciate all the ideas and comments it is often helpful...bit there are SO many factors to think about when we make our plans....DwRvenite is helping Resin not the reverse though...ack....gotta turn off electronic dev

And since these sets/lines have already been developed, there would be very little cost involved in reviving a resin set for a kickstarter.
My understanding is that KS takes the first 10% of all money raised. Resin is already relatively expensive, and adding 10% to pay a middle-man would exacerbate that. Presumably the inflated price would suppress demand, at least to a degree. KS is great to raise capital for something that would not otherwise exist, but not ideal to re-start existing product lines (for which a price point has already been more-or-less established).
A pre-order system would be better, if DF can make that work. Before KS existed, other niche manufacturers would take pre-orders over an extended period of time, not charging credit cards but keeping track of order volume, and then when the orders reached the target number, they'd charge all the cards and produce the product. This requires a loyal customer base, since it requires trust on both sides. Customers have to trust that they won't be charged until and unless there's a product there, and the vendor has to trust that too many customers won't back out or cancel their cards or change addresses and forgot to notify them... However, if DF needs the immediacy and hype that KS brings -- now, now, now, or miss out! -- in order to concentrate the sales within a short time window, in order to reach critical mass in order volume before production costs jump again, then maybe KS would be the way to go.

Yup. I really think DF would benefit from their own mini-KS-like platform built in to their store.
Program in minimum # of copies per set and minimum # of total sets. Use Amazon payments (not as nice as paypal, but at least they get the "conditional/expiring" authorization bit right). Once the minimum gets reached give a 1-2 weeks notice to newsletter subscribers that "an order is imminent! pre-order now from the following sets in this batch:...."
and just leave it running. Yes every 90 days people would have to re-authorize their pre-order if the minimum quantities aren't reached, but again that seems like a plus... and both sides are protected in the transaction.

Nielsene has provided a much better worded version of what I had in mind when I mentioned preorders. Once the shipping insanity is handled it might not be a bad idea to look into putting together a preorder setup along those lines to take advantage of the demand.

I weighed in with my comments before on the topic of restocking resin sets. I own about 100 DF resin sets and still want more.
In my humble opinion, I think it's a mistake to restock resin sets. Here are the reasons as I see them from a marketing standpoint;
1) The price point could never compete with Dwarvenite.
2) It has a high risk of "burning cash flow" that's needed elsewhere.
3) There's no real need for resin lines, because the core product lines can be made in Dwarvenite for half cost.
4) Resin lines would now be a niche product line at best. Resources need to be utilized for major product lines; Dwarvenite.
How do you satisfy those that want resin without risk to the companies financial wherewithal? I see two options that have already been mentioned;
1) Kickstarter
2) Pre-orders.
If I where running the company though I wouldn't even consider restocking for another year or so until 1-2 more KS launches. This would be due to not having the financial or labor resources to handle two different product lines. DF needs to establish their new and much broader customer base before adding in supplemental DF resin sets.

" 3) There's no real need for resin lines, because the core product lines can be made in Dwarvenite for half cost"
I dont think most of us have seen the dwarvenite so I can't comment on
how the quality compares to the resin line. I have a feeling it will
be good but not as good as the resin line.
Sure maybe all the core sets can be made from dwarvenite but are they really going to make cavernous river sets in Dwarvenite? Really? If thats the case
then we will be stuck with cookie cutter basic dungeons which is fine for new customers but not for me. There are still some resin sets I must have.
I feel that if Dwarven forge was not going to resock the resin sets then they should have said something. Sure they want to expand their market with a cheaper alternative but they can't forget the die hard loyal fans that supported them until they got to this point. Restock the cavern line and Realm of the ancients at least and I will shut up for awhile.

i still want to get some resin caverns and cavern lake/river sets. they have been out of stock since i had the budget to afford them. and i really hope we see a restock of the ancients set. right now, there are 10 out of stock sets that i want, not counting the LE stuff.
ive had my room and passage set (with bowties) a long time, but only recently have i really been able to really increase my collection.
preorders could work, depending on how the system is actually set up.

Diamond Creek Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock Terrace 2009
Winemaker's Notes:
Not yet reviewed; 2008 vintage rated 95 points by Wine & Spirits: This wine's dark, curranty tension captures Red Rock's cooler, northern exposure. It takes the rich, saturated flavors of classic Napa Valley cabernet in a fresh direction; a walk in the woods harvesting berries and morels. The finesse of the tannins combines with the zesty cool of the fruit to trigger all sorts of pleasure receptors in the brain. This is elegant and hard to resist, though it will reward a decade of patient cellaring.

Over the past decade Red Rock has gained an enviable reputation for producing superb ultra premium wines. They are handcrafted on the estate from vines that creep up the side of a dormant volcano west of Geelong. The mineral-rich soil, low rainfall and cool climate result in a unique terroir which, when coupled with sensitive winemaking, yields distinctly individual wines with power and finesse.

Editorial Reviews for Diamond Creek Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock Terrace
While not terribly aromatic, this does show a nice balance of oak-derived spice notes, slightly herbal and earth-framed black raspberry and cassis notes, and an intriguing floral element. Nicely scaled, this has a rich edge but is still medium-bodied with lively acidity and soft, velvety tannins. There's a nice core of fleshy blackberry fruit along with a little meaty edge that drives to a slightly drying, modest finish. This is a really finely textured wine, with a nice balance of flavor that doesn't hit you over the head and ends with some refreshing structure. 87pts
Member Reviews for Diamond Creek Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock TerraceAdd your review
Very rich and flavorful with nice fruit and tannins. This is one of my go-to wines that I always have a few bottles in the cellar. Very consistently excellent from vintage to vintage. Great with grilled beef. Over the last few years the price on this has dropped from around $20 to under $13 at some of the big retailers, making it a really good bargain.
decent, not tannic. good value
Full bodied dry red, medium body. Good value.
Full bodied. Not too oaky. Fruity and light peppery end.

External Reviews for Diamond Creek Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock Terrace
WINEMAKER'S NOTES2009 was an excellent vintage that featured only light spring rain, warm summer weather and no abrupt climate changes at season's end. This allowed us to be highly selective during harvest, choosing the very best fruit only when completely ripe. The result of these amazing conditions is a perfectly balanced and elegantly textured wine with supple tannins, rich fruit concentration and alluring notes of spice and wood. It is a lovely accompaniment to filet mignon topped with bleu cheese, grilled lamb chops or truffle buttered potatoes. - WineryTASTING PROFILEAppearance: MagentaAromas: Cherries, currants, and aniseFlavors: Blackberries, plums, dark chocolate and toasted oakAppellation: CaliforniaBlend: 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, 5% Malbec, 3% Merlot, 2% Cabernet FrancAlcohol: 13.5%Total Acid: .58pH: 3.73Barrel Regimen: 15 months in French oakReleased: January 2011
The cornerstone of Coppolarsquo;s Diamond Collection, this Cabernet-based blend is hearty and full-flavored, but very soft on the palate. Deep black fruit and spice notes abound, making this a great easy-drinking red for burgers, pulled pork or goulash.
Soft and lush, this is a super ripe blend of Bordeaux varieties blackened to fig, dark cherry and prune flavors. The tarry tannins will match braised meats.
This Claret is always elegant, but this year it's a true show stopper; lush with a beautiful tapestryof smooth tannins, intense flavor, and seductive aromas.
In this Bordeaux-style blend, Cabernet Sauvignon takes the lead to give the wine its deep color and texture. Soft on the palate, with notes of wild blackberries, dark cherries and a hint of cedar smoke.
This bright Cabernet reveals deep fruit flavors of blackberry and blueberry. Coppolarsquo;s Claret is a rich, full-bodied Cabernet with enticing overtones of spice and oak. This wine ends in a delightful long finish. Claret makes for a delicious complement to any red meat dish.
Layers of luscious flavors are revealed in each bottle, exuding style and confidence. This Cabernet is multi-faceted and complex with layers of berry, cherry and toasted oak flavors.
