Ford Freestyle climate control
I have the 2006 Freestyle Limited AWD. With the auto climate system the a/c light will light above the external temp. This happens when it is cold out as well. If I hit the a/c button it will go out. Why is this on if it is cold outside? What function does it serve when it is on if ac is not needed?
tidester Posts: 10,109I recommend asking your question in Ford Freestyle or where other owners are more likely to see it.

vicenac Posts: 229The manual recommends keeping the air on to prevent moisture building up in the cabin.
The AC not only cools the air but also retains a lot of moisture and provides breathing air through the dash vents. The heat comes through the lower pipes.
The compressor will actually disengage if the CFC temperature reaches a certain low (not sure exactly how low).
In the beginning it bothered me too, but I noticed the air becomes more breathable (less stuffy) if I let it do it's own thing. You will notice that the dash vents put out a low quantity of cold air. -
rick2456 Posts: 320The so called upgraded climate control (standard on the limited) is a piece of crap. To me, trying to get the unit to put out what you want is a major safety hazard as your attention is detracted from the road when trying to adjust it. This is the one thing I absolutely hate about the car. Just give me the standard temp/fan/ac controls instead of having to fiddle with inside/outside tempertures, etc to get the unit to put out what you want. If I had to do it over again, I would have waited until one was available with the same options, minus the climate control which is a $650 option. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
stevedebi LAPosts: 3,863"If I had to do it over again, I would have waited until one was available with the same options, minus the climate control which is a $650 option. Stupid, stupid, stupid."
The $640 option is the Aux climate control, which is the one used for the rear passengers (my kids love it). Automatic dual-zone climate control on the front panel is standard on the Limited and SEL.
If you don't like it, why not just use the manual controls? Select where you want the air to come out, what fan setting you want, and how hot you want, then let it rip! If you want it to work like a fully manual system, you can set the unit such that the driver's side temperature sets both driver and passenger temp, over-riding the dual climate controls.
I often keep mine in vent (air out of the upper vents) with low fan... but I leave the dual controls on, as my wife likes a hotter vehicle than I do.
You do not have to use the automatic controls. :shades: -
mmccloskey Posts: 168Exactly as STEVEDEBI states:
Both my 2005 Freestyle Limited and other vehicle have auto climate controls. I don't like the auto mode so I use it in the manual sense; I set the temp, fan speed and recirculate/vent as I see fit when running the AC or heat. Works fine for me and I only adjust the temp as conditions warrant. Having the REAR/auxiliary climate controls helps to cool or heat the rear area of the Freestyle much quicker than just the front vents.
Making initial climate control settings before getting underway will certainly allow ones attention to remain on driving in a safe and prudent manner. Temp adjustments while driving can be made with very little distraction while in motion.
Driving comfortably and safely is the only way to travel!

nibyak Posts: 26I only have an SE but it came with dual front and rear control auto climate system. I agree a bit with everyone above. I Love the split zone front controls. I have an 85-mile commute (one way) with my wife and we always used to fight over the temperature setting. We have the rear controls also but I can't comment on how that works. For the most part I leave the rear set to off. I like the auto setting much more now that I'm in air conditioner season than I did in the winter. I always like cool air blowing in my face when I'm driving, even when it's 10 degrees outside. In the winter I use the manual control with the vent/floor setting because if you use auto, it blows the air on my feet. If I set the temp to 60 it blows air right around outside temperature (often a bit too cold). If I set it for 65 it blows screaming hot air at me while it's trying to get the interior temp up to 65 (too hot). There is no setting between 60 and 65 so I usually just go with the freezing cold. Like I said, I like it cool. Now that it's warmer I tend to use the auto setting more because it blows the cool air where I want it (in my face). The car also seems to cool down relatively quickly. I park outside during the day and usually start it with the remote starter (free if you bought the Freestyle it in Jan 06) and the car is usually on its way to being comfortable by the time I have all of my stuff loaded in the back. I do think that the manual control buttons are a bit on the small side and just about down on the floor. In my old Focus and Ranger, the manual knob allows me to set the temp it just right all of the time. I just have to wait for my wife to fall asleep before I can set it cool enough.
bobw3 Posts: 2,997The only change on the climate control is that I wish I could have the outside vents open without the fan being on...just to let the outside air drift in without any fan. I wonder why they can't put a speed zero on the fan. When you turn the climate control system to OFF, all of the vents close up.
rick2456 Posts: 320Thanks, I do use the manual controls. My primary complaint is getting the unit to put out hot or cold air by setting the temperture. At one setting the unit puts out cold air, but adjust it one degree, it puts out hot air. That is what I was complaining about. The temperature of the output air is dependent on the degree setting and the outside temperature, etc. I would much prefer a manual setting for air output temperature, not a degree setting as this is a car, not a house.

When I turn the ACC system off and the vents close up I get an annoying whistle when driving at highway speeds. If the ACC is on and the vents are open there is no such noise. Does anyone else have this problem?

wwest Posts: 10,706Up until a few years ago my practice was to disconnect the A/C compressor clutch connection during the winter months. That practice started with Ford back in 1968 and then Lexus from 91 to recently.
My 2001 Rx300 has two c-best settings that when set correctly result in the A/C being disabled indefinitely by simply turning it off one time.
Modern day automotive A/C systems can be hazardous, oftentimes resulting in sudden and complete fogging over of the windshield during cold weather operation. -
usaccess Posts: 2Hi,
I have a ford freestyle limited 2006. I wanted the side airbags, but misunderstood that all limiteds have standard side airbags (2007 onwards)
Is there a way to retrofit my car with side airbags ?
I also wanted the rear seat climate control, dont have it so thinking of getting a 12v fan. Comments ??

snowombat Posts: 3Does anyone of you with a 2007 Freestyle Limited have the Satellite Radio hooked? On mine the antenna and wiring is there, but not the radio converter... The other day the dealer gave me a Fusion for a few hours as they were putting the paint protection on my vehicule. Well the basic Fusion had the Satellite radio. I was ticked off and sopke to the dealer. He is trying to get the module so I can get the advertised Sirius Satellite radio. Any one with better luck???

richfig23 Posts: 15Hey Chad: I'm getting that same annoying whistling sound from my A/C system in my 06 Limited Freestyle, although I can't get it to stop by turning the system on/off. I have the dual automatic climate control with rear controls.
I've tried every combination I could think of to try to get the whistling to stop at highway speed (System On/Off, Recirculation On/Of, Auto On/Of, rear on/off), but it still whistles. I've been meaning to take it to the dealer (I bought it used this past October with 19k) but I haven't had the time to take a day off work. Now I'm thinking it's a cold weather related thing because now that it's warmed up a bit here in NJ, the whistling sound in not nearly as loud as a couple a weeks ago. I'm sure when I finally get around to taking it to the dealer, the whistle will go away completely :confuse: Does your whistle sound only come on when you have the A/C system off? Is this during cold climate?

ragtopmann Posts: 2Hi folks. Looking for some help please. I have a 2005 Freestyle ES with the dual climate control. Problem is the driver side is blowing semi cold and the passenger side is blowing warm. The rear AC is blowing warm too. I have both sides set to 60 degrees and the rear set to coldest possible. Inside air selected. Any ideas? I first thought it may be the blend door actuator not engaging all the way (if it has one). Could it possibly be running out of R134a (or whatever type it requires)? Living in Houston, TX makes this a priority. thanks.
lanbaba Posts: 45My car was in the bodyshop for a month after my wife hit someone stupid try to cut in front my wife (she's going straight) and make a left turn at the intersection. I just got the car yesterday, and I have exactly the same problem (cold air on driver, but passenger and rear are not). And, also now the driver's side third row window area, there is a high hiss/pitch sound if I turn on the a/c, but if I turn off the a/c but leave the fan on, the sound will gone. :sick:
lanbaba Posts: 45Just got the freestyle from the dealer after the accident. Now two problems from the a/c:
The driver's side is blowing cold air; but the passenger and rear are blowing semi-cold, or not cold air although I turn all the temp settings to 60F and the rear to the coldest.
There is a high pitch hiss sound from the driver side's third row panel(is that called the quarter panel, where the fixed windows located, the third row 12v outlet located). If I turn off the a/c but let the fan on, the hiss sound will be gone, but once the a/c on, the sound comes back.
Any ideas, guys? :confuse: -
jd1975 Posts: 2Was checking today and found oil on the condenser and found the condenser to be leaking. Added freon till we decide what to do with it. Cooling better but the passenger side still not cooling like the driverside. Condenser from Advance quoted is $189.00 . 06 Model only 53,000. Our 01 Taurus a/c worked well the whole time we had it. It had 145,000 when we traded it for the freestyle. If you have any luck let us know. My father in law is going to check with his Ford dealer and see what he can find out Mon. :confuse:
ejneary Posts: 1I had the same problems as other Freestyle owners have had. Hot day or around town at stoplights, warm air from vents. Freeway driving, cooler, but not COLD air.
I had it into Ford and they said that the system was working fine........
I did a bunch of research and found some links to the problem on an Air Conditioning site link below:
I am placing this info here for those that were like me and trying to find the answer with no help from the Ford dealership. They must have a procedure that does not identify this particular problem but it exists and it seems that LOTS of owners are having it.
The AC compressor is a newer scroll type that uses a control valve located in the rear of the compressor behind a plate with two screws. This valve fails to function properly and most people change the entire compressor and magically, they fix the problem when they could have only replaced the control valve for $30.00 like I did and get the same result!!!
I am not saying that this will work in every instance BUT, with less than 27K miles on my car, the chances of a bad compressor were very low. Also, the system was fully charged as indicated by my gauge and there were no leaks.
Here is a link to the replacement part:
http://www.techchoiceparts.com/ShowItem/116597-Scroll%20Compressor%20Control%20V- alve.aspx
This valve is located on the back side of the compressor and can be changed without getting under the car... YOU MUST EVACUATE THE R-134A FIRST!!! If you remove the retaining plate with the system charged, it will blow all of the refrigerant out on you. I simply evacuated the system first and then replaced the valve. The valve comes as the brass piece with its seal. You must remove the retaining plate from the rear of the compressor which is held in with two 10mm bolts. I have included a link to a photo of the plate below. This view is looking down between the radiator and the engine with the hood open.
So, here is the procedure:
1. Evacuate refrigerant
2. Remove two 10mm bolts on rear of compressor
3. Remove old control valve with spring
4. Move spring to new control valve
5. replace spring and control valve in compressor
6. Replace retaining plate with two bolts
7. Tighten bolts
8. re-charge system with refrigerant (Amount needed is listed on the tag that is on the radiator support)
9. cold air will come out of vents at idle.
I hope that this helps some people. I spent HOURS researching this problem and the Ford tech was not able to find this. -
sacnsc Posts: 1
automotivation Posts: 1At about 60,000 miles I replaced my ac compressor because the ac wasn't working properly. Ford did the repair. It has been about a year and a half since then and now the ac has begun working intermittently. A few days ago the AC was simply blowing warm air. I would shut the car off and sometimes the AC would be back on. This happened intermittently for the last 3-4 days. Sometimes the AC would start blowing out cold air after the car ran for 20-30 minutes. I took it to Ford and told them what was happening and they checked the pressure, vacuumed out the system and could not get the problem to happen to them. So when the AC was blowing warm air I stopped into the Ford Service Shop. As it sat running at the shop the AC began blowing cold air. They thought it might be a bad relay, so they switched out the relay with the fog light relay. The AC was working at the time but after I turned the car off, then took the car for another drive, it was not on again. So I believe I've eliminated the relay as the problem. When the AC is not coming on, the compressor is not turning. When the AC is working, the compressor turns and the AC is very cold. I've been trying to find a pattern but none seem to exist. Does anyone know what could be the problem? Does it sound like a pressure control switch, or a loose connection, or something wrong with the electronic climate control in the dash? I've read lots of forums and no one has mentioned this particular problem. Ford is trying to help pinpoint the problem but it seems they are a bit stumped too. Any help is appreciated.

Ski Jumping
Flying 450 FeetLaminated foam ski jumpsuits are one of the sports world's most tightly regulated pieces of equipment. The reason: Even small tweaks to surface area can add lots of lift. "People were tinkering with the suits and flying like bats," says Troy Flanagan of the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association. So the International Ski Federation standardized the gear. Suits can now be no more than 5 mm thick; the underwear, 3 mm. And, since airtight suits function as sails, the rules require materials that allow 40 liters of air per square meter to flow through them per second.
Banking Turns at 95 mph The U.S. team barrels around a bend in a Bo-Dyn ride called Night Train.
In 1992, former Daytona 500 champion Geoff Bodine dedicated himself to rebuilding American bobsledding. With the help of car designer Bob Cuneo, he formed the Bo-Dyn Bobsled Project and began building custom sleds to replace the retread imports the U.S. had been using. "Now the Italians are working with Ferrari; the British have McLaren; the Swiss have gone to Audi," Cuneo says. "But we were the first team to acknowledge the crossover between race cars and bobsleds." Bo-Dyn engineers have spent nearly two decades improving the suspension, streamlining the sled body and studying metallurgy for the steel runners. The payoff: The U.S. team won its first world championship in 50 years last February. Ultimately, Cuneo estimates that about a third of the team's success in Vancouver comes down to engineering.

Just got my Littmann Master Cardiology Stethoscope.. - page 3
Just wanted to say that it's awesome. Much, much better than the cheaper base models you see floating around. I'm not saying that those are worthless or anything, but this one was worth the money. ... Read More
6Jan 28, '07 by Mags4711allheart has about the best prices I've seen. I love mine, but I don't use it much. to the poster who wondered about better scopes coming out when they "get older," I've had mine for about 10 years and the Master Cadiology is still "the" scope out there. Hard to improve upon perfection.
I will STRONGLY caution all of you against wearing your scope around your neck. Do NOT do it (I did for years and learned the hard and expensive way...). Not only because some nutty patient could grab it and drag you down to them with it, and not only because you can catch it on things about chest level (IV tubing, etc), but most importantly because the oils from your skin hardens the tubing over time. I have (had) a neonatal Littman that was worn around a neck for several years and now the tubing is cracked in several places. There is a nifty clip you can buy from most uniform stores and sites that clips to the waistband of your pants that holds your scope neatly. Or buy a few of those "pajamas" they make for scopes, but you have to remember to take it off or push it way up when you are doing your exams. Can you imagine the number of bugs those things could be harboring if you didn't? I'd recommend getting a couple and switching them out and washing them frequently.
The Master Cardiology *is* "the" scope IMHO, but another thing to remember is that if you are even considering peds or neonatal as a career choice, don't spend the money because they don't work for little ones (the "adapter" is awful). Also, many, many facilities are moving away from your own scopes and putting one at every bedside, we just did...and I had purchased a new Littman Neo (because of the cracks in my other one) about one month before. Lastly, most folks aren't in need of hearing the intricacies of S4, pansystolic murmurs or diastolic rumbles, we aren't cardiologists. If you are going to do ICU, ER or Cards, maybe... But you need to consider all those things especially if money is tight. Here's a link to a comparision chart on Littmann scopes :
http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/allhe...tmannspecs.pdfLast edit by Mags4711 on Jan 28, '07 -
0Jan 28, '07 by Mags4711I almost forgot, I wanted to mention that if you have, or get a Master Cardiology, to take it to your local Things Remembered and get your name engraved on the head. That's the only Littman they can engrave, but it does fit in their machine, I had mine done for about $17. Well worth it. Tags can be removed, names on tubing can sometimes be scratched off (or if it's done with Sharpie on a light tubing-it just looks bad after a while). But an engraved head is permanent.
1Mar 5, '07 by ScrubzQuote from onduty23allheart.com does it for like $10-15 extra I think. Even if you don't get it engraved when you buy it, you could always just take it somewhere around where you live to engrave it for you.where can i go online that will engrave when you buy one from their site?Marisleydis likes this.
0Mar 5, '07 by anonymurseYou can also get a plastic tag with a metal plate (you specify the engraving) that snaps onto your scope at http://steeles.com/catalog/tag.html (only $4.49).Last edit by anonymurse on Apr 5, '07
0Mar 2, '08 by missyjillRNI love the Littmann Master Cardiology!! Had one since 2nd semester of nursing school...Unfortunately, l lost it in one of the isolation carts while doing nursing care I got the Littmann lightweight SE II to replace, but with this experience, nothing beats the acoustic quality of the Master Cardiology...Once you go MC, you can't go back....I just got a new MC from allheart.com, had it engraved, and imma hang on to it and never let go!!
0Mar 2, '08 by Alternator81I love my master cardiology, too! Yay! I am going to get mine engraved now! Thanks for the tip!

I have a Windows 7 Pro 64bit with SP1 desktop that has RSAT tools installed. I opened Server Manager and can't connect to the server (Server 2008 R2 core).
I followed the guide to enable everything on the server, added a registry key to enable read-only on the device manager as well. On the Windows 7 PC I turned on winrm, did the quick config, and added the server IP and name as trusted hosts. I still get an error when connecting. "Connecting to the remote server failed with the following error message: The WinRM client cannot process the requests. If the authentication scheme is different from Kerberos, or if the client computer is not joined to a domain, then HTTPS transport must be used or the destination machine must be added to the TrustedHosts configuration setting...."
I also added the name of the server to the windows 7 /etc/hosts file. Ping the server name translates to the IP of the server. Also opened up the firewall for "Remote Volume Management"
Both machines are on the same Workgroup, using the same Administrator account, with the same password. Any help appreciated.

Who is M.E. Brines?
M.E. Brines spent the Cold War assembling atomic artillery shells and preparing to unleash the Apocalypse (and has a medal to prove it.) But when peace broke out, he turned his fevered, paranoid imagination to other pursuits. He spends his spare time scribbling another steampunk romance occult adventure novel, which despite certain rumors absolutely DOES NOT involve time-traveling Nazi vampires!
A former member of the British Society for Psychical Research, he is a long-time student of the occult and a committed Christian who sees himself as a modern-day Professor Van Helsing equipping Believers for battle against the occult Principalities and Powers that rule a world in darkness. (Ephesians 6:12)
The author of three dozen books, e-books, chapbooks and pamphlets on esoteric subjects such as alien abduction, alien hybrids, astrology, the Bible, biblical prophecy, Christian discipleship, conspiracies, esoteric Nazism, the Falun Gong, Knights Templar, magick, and UFOs, his work has also appeared in Challenge magazine, Weird Tales, The Outer Darkness, Tales of the Talisman, and Empirical magazine.
*I'm often asked how I square my Christianity and "messing around" with the occult, as if I'm partial to bestial things with a goat under the amber light of the moon or something. No so. I'm a student, in the same way I used to study Soviet weapons and tactics back when I was a US Army officer. This gives my work a unique perspective no matter what your belief system. I don't judge. I just present the information and let the reader decide.

GMC Safari/Chevy Astro
hardwayalpha Posts: 17vibration upon braking, it started after 70000 miles. i don't remember if it started after i had the front tires replaced. i checked the pads and wheel bearings, everything seemed ok. i will replace the rotor upon the next brake job. but here is an idea, i have bought ne rotors they were warped. so even if you buy new rotors have them put them on the lathe and check them. or have them check the ones you have.
bunk1 Posts: 1i have a 1997 gmc safari..i have had all the same problems and fixed all that but never worked..now if you take it to AUTOZONE thay have a code finder you can hook up to your van ita all electronic and it pinpoints it perfectly except the fuel pump but when i did mine it came back Camshaft Sensor a $35 part relativly easy to fix and i havent had a problem since
christmastree Posts: 1I bought my extremely low miles 1993 Chevy Astro from the Air Force. Ever since I bought it it has belched white smoke, not when I first start it, but after a short trip. I assumed that the valve seals were leaking from lack of use, so I just finished replacing all the intake and exhaust valve seals. Did not (ouch) fix the problem. The big question, is the white smoke from water or oil in the exhaust? And how is it getting in there? The van has full power, so even though I have not done a compression check, I doubt it has a head gasket leak.

jahnsen Posts: 1I'v got a 94 Safari AWD with 150k miles that has begun to bleed gear oil pretty good when going down the road. It appears to be leaking on the driver's side where the spindle or driver's side wheel shaft meets or goes into the differential. Given that I know next to nothing about differentials or transmissions, is this leaking seal anything I could tackle myself or would I be looking at taking out the entire differential in order to fix the leak? Also if anyone else has had any experience with having this fixed.........what kind of money am I looking at to have repaired?
snowboarder4 Posts: 42I am interested in improving engine performance in my 1995 Safari conversion van. The V6 engine is a little under-powered in the mountains. I researched exhaust systems and found a Gibson Swept Side Exhaust Stainless Steel T-304 Superflow Muffler system for about $400, without installation. I want to know whether a high-performance exhaust system, as a single improvement, is a reasonable expenditure to increase horsepower. :confuse:
frankym Posts: 2Well, now that i have some time to sit & realx, ( work has been crazy busy this summer ),,,,,, I have to say i still love my van ,,,,,
I have recently done a tuneup on it, plugs, wires,cap, roter, wires ,,,,,, & had several diagnostic tests done on it, which all passed, replaced an egr valve, & the ignition module, ( it was corroded green ) & yet still, since the day i purchased it, there is still a very heavy exhaust smell coming out of the tail pipe. It smells like unburnt fuel to me ,,,,, :P no "rotten egg smell" , just very heavy fumes all the time ,,,, i can smell it when the windows are open, its really bugging me as i want it to run as efficiantly as poss, not only for my pocketbook , but for the enviroment as well. It seems to have plantly of power, however i have yet to do a mpg test,,
Any insight to this problem would be really appreciated ,,,,,,,,,
Hope you all cruise smoothly,.
cheers ,,,,,,
ps ,,,,
i did put in a sweet sound system in a few weeks ago , sounds quite good , nothing too extreme , Clarion 200 wt, deck with usb, 4 - 6.5 coaxial Pheonix Gold SD radial speakers, front & rear doors, Pheonix Gold 400 wt 4 channel amp, powering the rear speakers & 10 Clarion sub, ( behind my seat , where i can feel the bass, but not so much as to enetertain the nighbourhood when cruising ... good tunes sure helps with bad traffic, lol
cheers :shades: -
loudog55 Posts: 1Intrested in finding out what knocking & clicking sound could possibly mean, any ideas besides, Transmission. It feels sluggish, it knocks when just idling, could there be a safety feature, regarding the braking system that would make this sound, any ideas, feel free to share....just wondering if fixing it would be worth it.

hagglundbv206 Posts: 4my 98' astro power door locks are all dead. I have checked the fuses and tried disconnecting the rear switch and the front door switches, I also disconnected the relay which is located in the compartment with the jack. any ideas? kinda pointless to have a van if I can't even open the rear door. thanks
deebo1 Posts: 1My 1990 Astro gave me alot of trouble. The speedometer messed up on it,my Drivers door handle broke off.My rear sliding door wasnt opening from the inside.My back doors were jammed shut.I purchased it in 98 so maybe time made everything mess up.But Ive counted 20 plus Astro/GMC vans with broken handles why is this?And to top it off i now own a 95 astro and my a/c compressor seized up.Does every Chevy Astro owner have these problems? :confuse:

hardwayalpha Posts: 17Yes the oil sender is right on the back of the block rear of the distributor. I hand a very hard time locating a replacement, got the wrong one the first time and had to go to several parts store to find the right one. I found it in auto zone, it was $32.00 but they price matched Murray's. After replacing the oil sender the flutter stopped.
Thank for the info.
vinnie5 Posts: 1Hi, everyone. I have a 97 GMC Safari AWD. It's giving problems with the ABS supposedly due to front wheel speed sensors. Is there some thing we can do besides replacing the sensors? If the sensors are a problem, shouldn't the abs light turn on, on the dashboard.
Thanks for the reply.

update the it flutters less but still flutters. at 75k the engine should not need rebuilding but then they don't make them like they used too either. -
cob Posts: 210Mine flutters also but that is no indication of needing a rebuild. I have 110,000 and it still uses no oil between 3000 mile changes and there is no smoke out the tailpipe. It still pulls a 4500# camper. If you get past 100,000 these engines usually last and many go to 250,000 or more. It's the nickle and dime parts like starters, alternators, etc that usually go out.

thelek Posts: 3My wife was trying to plug in her cell phone into the cig lighter in her '98 Safari when she heard a pop. after that, the cig lighter and the door locks stopped working. as far as i can tell, everything else works. I don't get much chance to look at the thing because it is her baby and i only get involved when something like this happens.
I looked in the fuse box, and all the fuses there are good. but there was no fuse marked "Accessory". Is there another fuse box on this thing? Or is there an inline fuse somewhere that could cause this problem? any information would be helpful, thanks. -

Birthdays come but once a year, but for music lovers, what I like to call "that birthday feeling" is a semi-regular thing. I'm talking about the rush, tinged by anxiety, greeting the first download click on an album you've been longing to hear for months. It's a complicated wash of emotions, boosted by conflicting hopes and assumptions. You're about to get exactly what you've wanted; but what if it's not exactly what you want? And boy, that bike Mom promised to buy had better be cherry red.
For Dave Samuels, the love of his first two instruments — the drums and then the piano — naturally led him to the vibraphone. Samuels' gift for evocative melody and his rhythmic versatility make him one of the leading mallet players of his generation, empowering him to swing from the classic-cool sounds of Stan Getz and Gerry Mulligan to the contemporary rhythms of The Yellowjackets, Spyro Gyra and his Caribbean Jazz Project.

Creativity takes effect
Just which station is responsible for creating the first production room has probably been lost to history. No doubt it was conceived and perhaps constructed following a maintenance catastrophe that paralyzed the primary control room. A second studio, configured much like the main studio, then became a standard design feature of radio stations.
Because these second studios were set up as backup air studios, they used essentially the same equipment and had similar recording, playback and mixing philosophies. Eventually, the basic equipment would include the common audio recorders and players of the day but little else beyond microphones.
By the late '70s, production studios began to depart slightly from the traditional duplicate studio model. One difference is the inclusion of signal processing. No longer simply a duplication of the air studio, today's production facility has almost as much in common with a recording studio as with the broadcast booth.
Practical processing Signal processing has come a long way in the past 30 years. My 1969 edition of Tremaine's Audio Cyclopedia has a section on equalizers but makes little mention of other outboard devices, such as compressors and artificial reverb or echo.
A discussion during an NAB2000 seminar is a case in point. The moderator queried the audience about the technology they had used in the past. Most recalled that it was the early '80s before almost any outboard equipment, such as reverb, EQ, compressor/limiters or other signal processing infiltrated their production rooms. At the time, these devices were commonplace in the recording industry but not in radio broadcast. They were often bulky, expensive and hardly the type of equipment a bottom-line oriented station manager thought necessary.
By definition, an audio processor manipulates the waveform in some manner. Whether by analog or digital means, characteristics such as amplitude and frequency response can be shaped and modified to achieve the desired sonic effect. Musical pitch and tempo can be altered for a performance that is closer to perfection. Even subtleties such as mic selection and the reverberant field are now digitally controllable.
Why should we change the sound in the first place? There are two answers to this question: problem solving and station identity. The station with the best sound on the air has the best chance of attracting an audience and keeping it. The station that chooses to put better production on the air, broadcast better-sounding news actualities and maintain a more consistent level of audio quality has a step up on the competition.
When to process At nearly all radio stations, much program content is delivered from sources outside of the radio station in forms such as recorded music, commercial or promotional announcements and network feeds. The production of these elements is often carried out using the finest mics and processors. The local producer, therefore, must have similar tools available to avoid poor-sounding audio by comparison. A good room environment and microphone combination are essential, but additional help may be called for.
Voice processors have become common in air and production studios. Their function is to enhance the voice by controlling dynamic range and equalization. If an announcer tends to accent some words and drop others, the internal compressor will compensate for these variations in level. Excess vocal sibilance will benefit from the corrective EQ or de-essing circuitry in a mic processor. With the right EQ setting, a basic mic can sound better than it should. The right setup on the compressor can help hide room noise, such as that from the computer. Some processors include a means of linking units or controlling them externally through sidechains. Some mic processors allow external control of their compression function, which is especially handy in a talk format: the host mic can be set up to automatically lower the gain on the guest mics during a moment of controversy. (For more on talk-show technology, see Let's Talk, July 2000 BE Radio, pg. 28.) Many all-in-one mic processors go beyond multi-band equalization and dynamic range control to provide phantom power, phase reverse, dual-channel operation and other features.
One of the goals in the production studio is to make sure the final project attracts attention as intended. What good is a commercial no one notices? Enter "special effects" - sounds so unnatural they immediately attract the ear. Experimentation (also known as messing around) resulted in all manner of new sounds, from electric lasers, to Santa's elves and Darth Vader. The first generation flangers, chorus, reverbs and delays were often packaged as separate units. Some were originally designed for electric guitars but pressed into service in the production studio. Today, these effects processors are commonly combined into one integrated unit and include compressor/limiter functions, reverb, delay and EQ. Most ship with preset off-the-rack sounds, but they allow the user to create and store custom effects. Price points for these devices are as wide-ranging as the number and sophistication of the sounds available.
One of the oldest effects processors is the equalizer. Its original use was to match the frequency response of telephone lines or loudspeaker system to "equal" or flat response for more accurate reproduction.
A graphic equalizer is a collection of tuned filters that can boost or cut a particular range of frequencies. Human hearing has about a 10-octave range. Equalizers are usually described generically in terms of the number of frequency bands the unit has or how the sections are divided. A 1/3-octave EQ, for example, divides each octave into three parts.
In production, an equalizer can be used not only for special effects but also as a problem-solver. For instance, your field reporter has just called in a breaking story, but the feed has a mysterious hum. Using a graphic and your ears, you can determine which band of frequencies contains the hum. By reducing the level of the offending frequencies, you bring down the hum, making the reporter more easily understood. However, because the graphic works in fixed bands of frequencies, a more precise EQ may be called for.
The parametric EQ divides the spectrum into three or more frequency bands. The user first determines a general range for the individual band and adjusts for a center frequency. Second, using the bandwidth control, or Q, the user adjusts for the desired range of frequencies above and below the center. Boost or cut is applied as necessary. The strongest of these equalizers is called a notch filter and can be set to control a very narrow bandwidth.
The least glamorous production tool is the compressor/limiter. Compressors reduce the overall dynamic range of a source to prevent overloads and improve intelligibility or musicality. The operator sets the compression ratio. This means a signal of a given level may increase by several decibels, but the compressor will only allow a slight increase at its output. Above a certain threshold, the signal is completely limited; there is no output increase. The operator has additional controls for attack and decay, which are useful in musical situations where a misadjustment would cause distortion. Compressor/limiters are commonly used on individual voices or instruments in a mix, or as overall program limiting inline ahead of a recording device or transmitter.
When a commercial spot ran a little long in the analog production studio, you either did it over or fudged the label and hoped no one caught on. If a variable-speed tape recorder was available, you could try to crank up the speed a little and hope not too much of the dreaded chipmunk effect resulted. (A producer with access to a pitch shifter could pull the pitch back down for the final dub, but before digital equipment was common, quality pitch shifters were very expensive.)
Computer-based hard-disk editing systems have revolutionized radio production. They can help fit 63 seconds of production into a space of 59 seconds. Software programs emulate nearly everything in the previous generation production studio, from multitrack tape recorders to razor blades.
The leading software programs for disk-based audio recording typically ship with basic effects packages, including time-compression tools for the above problem. Add-on options, called plug-ins, provide additional signal-processing capabilities. Plug-ins can be provided from the original editor manufacturer or from third-party manufacturers. Many digital music software - on both Windows and Mac platforms - accept these after-market applications, which offer the same functional flexibility that traditional hardware users enjoy.
Many plug-ins emulate effects available only in hardware packages that cost many times the cost of the software. The current generation of plug-ins takes processing to a higher level, creating processors without parallel in the analog or hardware world.
Third-party plug-ins can be written for use with several programs. This is done by using an open format source, such as Microsoft's Direct-X for PCs or Steinberg's VST for PC or Mac. There are many other formats as well, some are not as common and may not offer as many third-party DAW choices. An editing program's ability to support plug-ins can provide additional flexibility for the future.
A number of software suppliers offer processors designed to remove hiss, background noises such as traffic, HVAC, or unwanted artifacts from the recording process. These processors typically work by sampling and then phase-reversing a portion of the offending sound. On the other side of that coin, some plug-in programs add noise back in to recreate the characteristics of analog tape recording or vinyl (33-, 45- or even 78 rpm) or to mimic the natural reverb of a particular concert hall or studio.
Analog, digital and software-based processors are essential in the well-equipped production studio. Of course, it takes a creative producer to bring out the best in your station. In some areas, talent like this is in short supply.

It's undisputed that virtually everyone had — for years — construed the Affordable Care Act to allow subsidies for Americans even if their state didn't set up an insurance exchange. But the Justice Department wants it to be clear that "everyone" includes the four conservative justices on the Supreme Court who voted to wipe out Obamacare in 2012 and will now hear a new challenge to the law.
Jeff Goldberg walks through the Boehner/Netanyahu Pact on every conceivable path and can't find one where it's not a disaster. Too true. Painfully true. To be clear, he's talking about a disaster for Israel and its security - not necessarily Netanyahu's electoral fortunes. He doesn't address that. Jeff also sees the move - or at least does so in this article - exclusively through the lens of Netanyahu's Iran fixation. I tend to think domestic politics plays a very large role as well. I would find the nature of the Iranian threat to Israel more convincing if the leaders of Israel's defense establishment saw it the way Netanyahu does. And they do not. Unlike Rabin, Barak or Sharon, he is no military man, though he served in one of the IDF's elite units as a young man. But that question is almost secondary to the key point Jeff makes, which is that in a fight he almost certainly cannot win (coercing Obama into abandoning his Iran policy) he is directly and immediately threatening - and more than threatening, concretely damaging - a lynchpin of Israeli security: the US alliance. The damage is not just with this President, who after all will be out of office in less than two years, but with Democrats and even American Jewry.

As you've no doubt seen, a stretch of the Northeast, from New York to Boston, is bundling down for a mammoth blizzard that may be anywhere from a historic storm to just a big storm. Our New York City staff is going to be working remotely tomorrow; our headquarters will be closed. But personally the major crisis was that I had let this epic storm coincide with our getting perilously low on my supply of Grady's Cold Brew Ice Coffee. And in case you think I'm kidding, I'm not.
Indiana Governor to start state news service to compete with the MSM.
I've been reading through your responses to my earlier post on the Netanyahu/Boehner Pact and the speech imbroglio. The question many of you are asking is, Will it matter? Will it have an effect? The simple answer is, I don't know. Unfortunately, that's the complicated answer too: I don't know. With anything to do with Israeli politics in the last quarter century, an important first rule of thumb is: do not underestimate Benjamin Netanyahu. The man is a scoundrel and deeply damaging to Israel's future. But as I noted earlier, he is a master of manipulating the pliable and broken parliamentary dynamics of the Israeli state and he repeatedly made himself as necessary and he is disliked. It is amazing how many things the guy has come back from.

There seems to be a growing backlash to the Netanyahu-Boehner speech stunt, both in the United States and Israel. As you can see from our current feature story, former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren has said the speech threatens a rift with the US and should be canceled. I want to say more about Oren's remarks and their context. But before getting to that, a few other developments.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu's office has tried to paper over the confrontation by calling the congressional invitation bipartisan. But Democrats were quick to note that is not true. Even American Jewish groups who seldom allow any daylight between themselves and the Israeli government appear shocked by Netanyahu's move and are having difficulty defended it.

classified as acceptable when it experiences a suitably specified run of successes. While such methods are not yet in use, Gaver's talk clearly demonstrated that new, different, and promising procedures for acceptance testing are feasible and under development.
Discussion of reliability growth continued in the workshop session dedicated to models, methods, and applications involving the linkage between field performance data and reliability growth. Fritz Scholz described a model applicable to the detection and removal of design flaws in a fielded system and discussed a methodology for estimating and bounding system reliability at each stage of the fault discovery process. William Meeker then presented a series of examples drawn from his experience with field data in the automotive industry—examples that motivate and strongly support the continuous tracking of performance data once an item has been fielded.
After summarizing these four presentations, we turn to the important issue of the management of reliability growth. The presentations of Jane Booker and Larry Crow were both representative of the modern global approach to reliability growth, which incorporates the best features of the classical theory yet goes well beyond it, using ideas that are integrative, inter- and cross-disciplinary, and comprehensive.
Ananda Sen provided a review of recent developments in modeling and statistical inference for reliability growth. In typical modern applications of reliability growth theory, a system's reliability is improved through a series of test, analyze, and fix (TAAF) episodes. Reliability growth modeling is a collection of techniques that attempt to model the (hoped-for) increasing reliability of a system as a function of the time spent in development and other relevant variables. Reliability growth modeling has historically played a role in helping to determine whether a system in development is likely to meet reliability requirements in time for graduation to the next development phase, and eventually to operational testing. Sen focused his presentation on systems for which the relevant data input into reliability growth models consists of successive times to failure (that is, total test time). See Sen (1998) for more detail.
Of course, it is not clear whether the process of reliability improvement can be usefully modeled as a function of time alone, since time is an indirect measurement of the workings of the TAAF cycle. However, it is useful to attempt to do so since these models can be used to (1) monitor the

Follow-Up Postings:
check with your local parks or even the college if you are close. They shouldn't have a problem with you raking up as much as you need. I grab a couple trash cans full every fall from an apartment complex around the corner from me. I tried to ask permission, but no one spoke english.. so I just get the ones off the sidewalk....they actually blow up against a fence, so I don't even have to rake. My worms love the stuff!

Reservation for students in National Institute of Technology in Tripura.
Byline: ANINew Delhi, Aug 27 (ANI): The Union Cabinet today approved the implementation of reservation for students belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes to the National Institute of Technology in Jirania in Tripura.
The Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Admission) Act, 2006 (CEI CEI Competitive Enterprise Institute
CEI Conferenza Episcopale Italiana (Italian bishop conference)
CEI Central European Initiative
CEI Comitato Elettrotecnico Italiano (Italian Electrotechnical Committee) Act, 2006) was notified on January 4, 2007. Section 3 of the CEI Act, 2006 provides for reservation of seats in Central Educational Institutions, according to which, 15 per cent seats are reserved for the SC 7.5 per cent for the ST and 27 per cent for the OBC OBC Other Backward Classes
OBC Ontario Building Code
OBC On Board Computer
OBC Organization for Bat Conservation
OBC Outline Business Case (UK government procurement)
OBC Oriental Bank of Commerce (India) .
Section 4 (a) of the CEI Act, 2006 provides that the provisions of Section 3 of the Act shall not apply to a Central Educational Institution established in the tribal areas referred to in the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of India The Constitution of India lays down the framework on which Indian polity is run. The Constitution declares India to be a sovereign socialist democratic republic, assuring its citizens of justice, equality, and liberty. .
The National Institute of Technology (NIT A measurement of luminance. One nit is equal to one candela per square meter (1cd/m2). Ten thousand nits are equal to one stilb. See candela. ) located at Jirania in the Tripura Tribal Area Autonomous District Council, Agartala was unable to extend the benefit of reservation to students belonging to OBC category in view of the non-applicability of the CEI Act, under Section 4 (a).
Several writ petitions were filed in Guwahati High Court The Guwahati High Court (Hindi: गुवाहाटी उच्च न्यायालय) was established on March 1, 1948 after the Government of India Act, 1935 was passed. , Agartala and High Court, New Delhi challenging applicability of reservation of the SCs and STs in NIT, Agartala while not extending the benefit of reservation to OBCs.
There was a popular demand from political parties and public representatives that the benefits of reservation for OBC should be extended to NIT Agartala in view of the substantial population of OBCs in the State.
A notification was issued with the approval of the President under Paragraph 12AA(c) of the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution of India on 13.7.2009 to the effect that provisions of Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Admission) Act shall apply to Jirania in the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council The Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) is an independent council administering the tribal areas of the state of Tripura, India. Its council and assembly are situated in Khumulwng, a town 26 km away from Agartala, the state capital. in respect of Central Educational Institutions situated therein namely NIT, Agartala subject to modifications of Section 3, 4 and 6 of the CEI Act, 2006.

So now we're ready to set up our model for 3D printing at Shapeways.
In order to change the print settings,
make sure that your scene is selected in the 3D panel.
Now, in the properties panel,
find the 3D print settings icon, the one that looks like a printer.
If you'd like to rotate the camera around your object,
make sure your selection tool is active, and choose the first option
in the 3D camera mode menu, located here in the options bar.
Click and drag anywhere on your canvas to move the camera.
Now, let's make our way through the print settings from top to bottom.
The first choice we are given is to select our printer's location.
For this tutorial, select the shapeways.com option.
After selecting Shapeways, open the next drop down menu.
You should see an impressive list of materials in which to print your 3D model.
These materials range from plastic to ceramic to metals
and even full color sandstone.
Find frosted detail plastic
and choose the ultra detail option.
I've found that ultra detail produces a high quality 3D file
that works well for the small size of this object.
Later, when using Shapeways, I'll be able to order the object in another material
if I so choose.
Find the detail level drop down
and choose to give this model the highest level of detail.
Now we're ready to export our printable 3D model
and send it to Shapeways.
In the 3D menu, choose 3D print.
It's important to know that by clicking 3D print
with the shapeways.com option selected
you're really just exporting the 3D object to a file that Shapeways can use
to print your object.
Printing doesn't actually happen until you place your order.
At this point, Photoshop will run a number of processes
that basically make sure your 3D model is fit for print.
This may take a few minutes.
When finished, Photoshop will tell you that your estimated purchase price
may differ from the actual price.
Click OK.
An export window will open.
Here you'll get a final print preview of your object
in the material that you've chosen.
Spend some time with the 3D camera tools to do a final check of your object.
When you're ready, click "export," and choose a location on your computer to save the file.
Now we're going to upload our model to the Shapeways website.
Make your way to shapeways.com.
If you don't already have one, click "sign up" to create a free Shapeways account.
If you have an account, log in.
Once you're logged in, you'll need to upload your 3D model to the site.
Choose "make and sell" and click "upload."
Upload your design by choosing "select 3D file"
and navigating to the file that you just exported.
It will have the extension .stl.zip.
Next, select your preferred unit of measure
and click "upload now."
While waiting for your model to upload,
be sure to scroll down to see the variety of materials
in which you can print your object.
I designed this piece to be small enough that I could print the object in raw brass
and still have it be under $20.
From here, feel free to print in any material that suits you.
Just note that certain materials have printing limitations
due to the size of the object.
When you've picked your material,
select "add to cart" and submit for printing.
It's that easy.
After placing your order, you can expect Shapeways to check your model
and the materials, and in no time, your object will be printed and shipped directly to you.
There you have it.
You've created and printed a 3D model directly from Photoshop CC.
