2002 SL1 - How do I recharge the A/C system
I've searched this forum from top to bottom trying to find a thread telling how to simply recharge the a/c system, unfortunately those that I read are all about problems (compressor, leaks, etc.)
Fortunately I only need to know how to recharge my system. My 2002 SL1 has 149,000 miles and has never been recharged (I'm the original owner). Last summer the A/C wasn't very cold, so I thought this year I better do something about it.
I'd love to find a Richpin06a youtube video "SHOWING" how to recharge, but unfortunately he doesn't have a video on this.
So...... is this something someone with limited knowledge can do? I changed my own starter last fall (seemed a bit complex to me), and I've done a handful of other things under the hood so I figured I might be able to do this too.
Do I just need to get a can of 134a with a guage and refill, or is there more to it than that? I read that there are 2 ports, and upper and lower, and I think I would connect to the lower (but I would need to locate it).
Any help would greatly be appreciated! Thank you.
My SL1 is a manual transmission by the way.

Re: 2002 SL1 - How do I recharge the A/C system
Unfortunately, there is a lot more to an a/c system than simply refilling it. Refrigerant doesn't burn like oil--if it's gone, there's a leak. If it's a very slow leak, you could get a few more years out of it by "topping it off", but if it's a faster leak, you'll just be venting expensive and dangerous chemicals into the air (contributing to global warming). Further, contrary to popular belief, there is no way to accurately charge it without first recovering the remaining refrigerant, and then adding a specific weight (listed on the under-hood label). The pressure inside an a/c system is not dependent on how full it is: in fact, with the system off, you could keep adding refrigerant all day, and the pressure wouldn't increase above a static value (look up a pressure vs temperature chart, if you're curious, but at 70 degrees, it's right around 70 psi; on a hot day, or after the car has been driven, you can expect something around 90 psi). As you add more, it condenses to a liquid, and the pressure will not increase.
Now, when it's running, the high pressure will increase as you add more refrigerant, but there's no way to know how much pressure you want, because there are too many variables. The compressor will automatically change how much it pumps, in order to keep the low-side pressure the same (so obviously that's no indication), and depending on the heat-load and humidity, the high side pressure can vary anywhere from 120 psi to 300+psi.
The "recharge kits" typically come with a single gauge, which is completely useless. That gauge will only show pressure on the low-side. Well... the low side pressure is controlled by the compressor displacement and the airflow/temperature across the evaporator, not by the amount of charge, so as long as there's enough refrigerant for it to function, it will stay about the same. In fact, with a properly charged a/c system, the lower the low-side pressure, the better (the lower the pressure, the colder it is). Once it gets down to 25-30 psi, the compressor will change displacement to pump less, to prevent the evaporator from freezing over with humidity and blocking airflow (or, on many other vehicles, the compressor will simply shut off for a few seconds).
Yes, you can do what most people do: hook up a "recharge kit" to the low-side port, and add some refrigerant until it blows cold, but that's not the correct way to work on an a/c system, and if you accidentally get some moisture in there, it will create an acid that will destroy the compressor and lines.
If you want to work on your a/c system, there's plenty of information out there, but you'll need some tools: a manifold gauge set (both high side and low side), a scale to measure refrigerant by weight, and a vacuum pump. You'll still need to go to a shop to have them recover the remaining refrigerant (some may do it for free, if it's clean and you don't want it back, because they can re-use it).
And finally, avoid anything with a "leak sealer" in it. These are typically useless at sealing leaks, but work very well at jamming the thermal expansion valve (TXV: a variable size leak inside the system that creates the pressure differential). They can also damage the compressor. Get whatever r134a you can find without additives (except perhaps UV dye, which is very useful for finding leaks). There is no "better" r134a, so don't waste money on products claiming to be colder, synthetic, or better in any way (there are better refrigerants than r134a, but that's a different matter).

Re: 2002 SL1 - How do I recharge the A/C system
And to 'un' confuse some, a little bit more to digest.
Google any youtube video and you'll have more 'knowledgeable' people showing how to recharge any vehicle a/c system. From one view point this is a no-brainer but there are consequences - refrigeration is simply not about a few cans of R134a.
For one, no one ever mentions that servicing vehicle a/c systems requires (1) raising the engine rpm's from service manual recommendations, (2) a full manifold set of gauges are used for correct a/c servicing, and (3) the store refill kits never mentions raising engine rpm's due to liability issues and the real hazards of high pressures working in and around vehicle a/c systems. If you never knew that your a/c system's high side pressures easily exceed 250psi on HOT and HUMID days, consider it when you're standing less than a few feet away from the condenser coils...................
Recharging done at the 'DIY' level can be done if done carefully. Saturns requires 2k rpm to service a/c systems; all pressure monitoring is done at 2k rpm. Idle rpm pressure measurements are useless and have no basis for reference. In one way, ask yourself if you drive at idle speed or not? 2k rpm is the recommended engine rpm for a/c servicing. The low and high side pressures and cabin temperatures are measured with the fan blowing at medium-high speed with windows open. If you are certain that no leaks have occurred with factory dye and oil not marking any spot where a leak can occur (anywhere) and the service valves haven't shown signs of leaking from their valve cores, a refill might work. Normally, its recommended that a shop do this by removing remaining refrigerant into recycling equipment, leak testing by evacuating the empty system then refilling with the correct amount of R134a. This ensures a correct amount as R134a systems aren't as tolerant of over or under charging as R12 systems were.
If you buy and use a small dial type thermometer to stick into the center vents of the interior, you'll be able to monitor temperatures better. Buy only R134a without leak sealer. Refrain from magic cans purportedly claiming better efficiency with certain mixes. Unless you do the research, plain R134a with or without a pressure gauge is all that's needed. Using a pressure gauge is better as you'll see different readings the moment you plug in to the low side pressure port. All vehicle a/c systems using R134a deliberately make two sizes of ports to prevent the uninformed from attaching refill cans into the high side port (remember, 250psi when a/c is running). All store refill kits with hoses will only attach to the low side port. Yours is on the hose attached to the rear of the compressor. The high side port is near the battery (another reason to move this port away from the compressor for the uninformed) and is plumbed into the high pressure line after the condenser coil/filter/drier.
With a low pressure gauge and R134a ready for injecting into the system, connect the refill hose to the low side port next to the compressor, a/c ON, interior HVAC set to vent, fan on medium speed, thermometer in the vent, raise engine idle to 2k. Note the pressure reading. Now open the valve on the R134a can to feed gas into the system. Do not invert the can unless you know what can occur with feeding liquid R134a into the compressor. As engine speed sucks R134a out the can, the can will turn cold - immersing in a bucket of warm water will help transfer heat from water to warm the contents and stabilize internal can pressures. As temps drop the internal can pressure drops and slows feeding R134a into the system. Warm water is all that's needed.
Inject about half the can and stop to measure interior temps and gauge pressure. Guessing is about all you can do here as to how much R134a is needed. Caution is needed to prevent over filling a system so feeding in a few ounces at a time and stopping for a minute or so will allow the system to stabilize - the time to monitor interior temps. Ideally, at 2k rpm (and correlated with outside temps) low side pressure should be around 30-35 psi(no lower) while interior temps drops down to around 45F. Do not inject any more R134a to lower interior temps. This is where over filling can become hazardous with foolish ideas of more refrigerant to lower temps. It simply doesn't work this way. What will occur is a point of no return where temps begins to rise. The thermal expansion valve always regulates refrigerant to around 35F (always above freezing) that corresponds to about 30psi @2k rpm. The correct amount of R134a will allow cooling and no more. Adding more R134a above the amount needed simply raises the high pressure side above 250psi and loads the system down where the compressor drags. Adding just the right amount of R134 will lower interior temps until it stops while not over filling and raising the high pressure side.
If your compressor ran before but no cooling occurred then maybe a can will be more than sufficient. Once your system is cooling, drop the engine rpm back to idle, disconnect the refill can, replace and tighten the service valve caps and go for a drive. If you notice better cooling its because more air is flowing to cool off the condenser coil - another reason for not over filling when car movement adds to the cooling effect. Air forced through the condenser coils lowers high side pressures and allows better a/c efficiency to cool the interior quicker.
If this seems like a lot of information, you should read the correct procedures when using a full set of refrigeration gauges, vacuum pump, and temperature/pressure chart......

Re: 2002 SL1 - How do I recharge the A/C system
It seems intimidatng, but it can be done right DIY without going broke.
Harbor Freight has a marginally acceptable manifold gage set that goes on sale for about $55. You also need a can tap as the HF set doesn't come with one (the set assumes you are using commercial grade tanks, not12oz Walmart refill cans). Then you need some way of evacuating the system.
I already had a Mightyvac hand vacuum pump from harbor freight I bought a couple years ago (~$35 IIRC) for bleeding brake calipers, changing PS fluid and a few other handy tasks. Since i was already practically out of r134a, I just blew it out to the atmosphere (get over it, this is the same stuff they use in keyboard cleaner and I never buy that. R12 was the nasty global warming stuff). I managed to rig the mightyvac to the manifold and pull 15 psi of vacuum which held steady for 1/2 an hour. i suspect my freon leaked out the fill cap schraeder valves and i bought new caps with Orings, cleaned up the fill nozzle seal surface good.
Put 2 full 12oz cans of r134a in and she's been good for a week now. So far..... Fdryers info is all 100% spot on, but it really isn't rocket science. Richpin DOES have a video for operating a manifold gage set and he shows you the high/low pressure specs by temperature, so look up that video.
It's hard to find cans that don't claim to be 'leak seal', but they are out there. i suspect PAG oil inherently has some leak seal capabilities with the rubber orings though. Good luck.

Re: 2002 SL1 - How do I recharge the A/C system
Also, to properly evacuate and boil the moisture out of an a/c system, you need to pull very nearly a complete vacuum (at least 29"HG, where a full vacuum is something like 29.2"HG). I don't think you'll be able to do that with a hand pump. You can get a vacuum pump at harbor freight for about $100 that will be sufficient for the occasional small job (no, don't get the really cheap venturi effect (air compressor powered) one--that's not good enough). You need to keep the pump on for at least 15 minutes (but the longer the better). After that, close the gauges, and turn off the pump. Give it at least a half hour, but preferably overnight, to make sure it's not leaking (the compound (low side) gauge should stay at 29inHG). Once you verify that it holds vacuum, attach the can of R134a to the yellow hose. Loosen the hose at the gauge, for just a second, to purge the air (tighten it as soon as you hear/see refrigerant coming out). You can charge into both the high and low side simultaneously, at first. Hold the can upside down, so you get a liquid, and heat it in a cup of hot water (not boiling, though). Once it stops charging, close the high-side gauge valve, turn the can right side up, start the car, and turn on the a/c. Raise the rpm to 2000, and continue to heat the can of refrigerant in the hot water--this should suck very nearly all of the refrigerant out. Close the low-side valve while the a/c is still on, and before lowering the rpm to an idle. Attach the next can. Depending on the size of the cans, you may not need all of it (you add it by weight). Assuming this is the case, you'll need a scale to weight it as you gradually add refrigerant. Too much is worse than too little, so don't go crazy!
Be careful to never operate the system with both valves open. You can only charge to the high side when the system is off. With the a/c on, never tip the can upside-down. This could result in sucking liquid into the compressor (similar to hydro-locking an engine).
The warmer the can is, the better, but don't get it terribly hot, and don't use an open flame or anything like that to heat it--a cup of hot water works well.
Finally, R12 was not banned because of its global warming potential--it was banned because it was destroying the ozone layer (still controversial--I'm not sure if I believe it or not). R134a, on the other hand, does contribute significantly to global warming--that's why it's in the process of being banned (already banned in Europe). R1234yf will most likely be the refrigerant of choice in US cars very soon (despite the fact that it's more flammable than the "supposedly dangerous" hydrocarbon based R134a/R12 substitutes like ES12a).
If you need to get rid of some, there's a good chance an independent shop will do it for free or for very little money: it's very little work, with the right equipment, and then they have it to reuse (it's not cheap...)

Re: 2002 SL1 - How do I recharge the A/C system
Wow. I was hopening that this was going to be a really simple/quick job. I thought the gague on the can would be more than enough. Sounds like this is really a royal pain in the rear!
Not sure what my car idles at, but if I do it I'm a 1 man operation, so I would just have to let the car idle and go from there.
I surely don't want the can or compressor exploding on me...... Dang, I just don't know what to do. I suppose I could call around and ask how much various garages charge to do this.
My car gets cool, but not COLD like when it was new.

Re: 2002 SL1 - How do I recharge the A/C system
Before you start all this stick a thermometer in the central registers, run the car to 2500 rpm, turn on ac, recirc, and fan at speed 3. Record the value from the thermometer, outside temp and humidity and report your results.

Re: 2002 SL1 - How do I recharge the A/C system
At idle, the compressor is turning too slowly to perform at full capacity, so any readings (temperature or pressure) are virtually useless.
There is plenty of information out there (youtube, various forums, etc). Be careful, though--there is also a lot of misinformation, particularly with regards to working on a/c systems.
When in doubt, ask first, before you do something (even if you think it's a stupid question).
The first step, before you do anything else, is to get some pressure and temperature readings and do a visual inspections (make sure the fan is working, and that the condenser/radiator is not restricted by dirt, bugs, or plastic bags). Note the ambient temperature and humidity, too: the warmer and/or more humid it is, the higher the high side pressure and duct air temperature will be.

Re: 2002 SL1 - How do I recharge the A/C system
No offense, but if you find that step difficult, you are in way over your head. You might want to take it to someone with more experience, or at least try to find someone with a bit of automotive experience to help you.
Working on the a/c is not hard when you know what you're doing, but it's certainly not how you start out working on cars...
If you do something wrong, you could very easily ruin the compressor (which can cost over $1000 to have a shop replace). Or, even worse, you could end up with an injection wound: high pressure refrigerant forced through your skin=very bad. Whatever you do, be sure to wear safety glasses, and gloves wouldn't be a bad idea, either (if you spill refrigerant on yourself, it can cause frost-bite because it will boil very fast, becoming very cold).
And finally, if you do end up venting any refrigerant on purpose (I don't recommend it, but that's what most people do...), or even accidentally, if anyone sees what you're doing and the EPA finds out, you will get some pretty serious fines ($25,000 is standard, I believe). Keep that in mind if you have any nosey neighbors.
Some thermometers may take longer to respond than others, so make sure you wait until the temperature reading stops going down.

Re: 2002 SL1 - How do I recharge the A/C system
I would totally pay someone to service my ac, but how do you know the mechanic is going to follow the proper procedure and not just pump some refrigerant (possibly with some sort of leak stopper) in there?
I guess this is the same question as "How do you find a trustworthy mechanic?" The answer, as far as I can tell, is: you can only judge by becoming knowledgable enough to do the repairs yourself. Sigh

Emmylou Harris
Classic Country, Christmas Music
Though other performers sold more records and earned greater fame, few had as profound an impact on contemporary music as Emmylou Harris. Blessed with a crystalline voice, a remarkable gift for phrasing, and a restless creative spirit, she traveled a singular artistic path, proudly carrying the torch of "cosmic American music" passed down by her mentor, Gram Parsons. With the exception of only Neil Young -- not surprisingly an occasional collaborator -- no other mainstream star established a similarly large body of work as consistently iconoclastic, eclectic, or daring; even more than four decades into her career, Harris' latter-day music remained as heartfelt, visionary, and vital as her earliest recordings. Harris was born on April 2, 1947, to a military family stationed in Birmingham, Alabama. After spending much of her childhood in North Carolina, she moved to Woodbridge, Virginia while in her teens and graduated high school there as class valedictorian. After winning a dramatic scholarship to the University of North Carolina, she began to seriously study music, learning to play songs by Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. Soon, Harris was performing in a duo with fellow UNC student Mike Williams, eventually quitting school to move to New York, only to find the city's folk music community dying out in the wake of the psychedelic era. Still, Harris remained in New York, traveling the Greenwich Village club circuit before becoming a regular at Gerdes Folk City, where she struck up friendships with fellow folkies Jerry Jeff Walker, David Bromberg, and Paul Siebel. After marrying songwriter Tom Slocum in 1969, she recorded her debut LP, 1970's Gliding Bird. Shortly after the record's release, however, Harris' label declared bankruptcy, and while pregnant with her first child, her marriage began to fall apart. After moving to Nashville, she and Slocum divorced, leaving Harris to raise daughter Hallie on her own. After several months of struggle and poverty, she moved back in with her parents, who had since bought a farm outside of Washington, D.C. There she returned to performing, starting a trio with local musicians Gerry Mule and Tom Guidera. One evening in 1971, while playing at an area club called Clyde's, the trio performed to a crowd that included members of the country-rock pioneers the Flying Burrito Brothers. In the wake of the departure of Gram Parsons, the band's founder, the Burritos were led by ex-Byrd Chris Hillman, who was so impressed by Harris' talents that he considered inviting her to join the group. Instead, Hillman himself quit to join Stephen Stills' Manassas, but he recommended her to Parsons, who wanted a female vocalist to flesh out the sound of his solo work, a trailblazing fusion of country and rock & roll he dubbed "cosmic American music." Their connection was instant, and soon Harris was learning about country music and singing harmony on Parsons' solo debut, 1972's G.P. A tour with Parsons' backup unit, the Fallen Angels, followed, and in 1973 they returned to the studio to cut his landmark LP Grievous Angel. On September 19, just weeks after the album sessions ended, Parsons' fondness for drugs and alcohol finally caught up to him, and he was found dead in a hotel room outside of the Joshua Tree National Monument in California. At the time, Harris was back in Washington, collecting her daughter for a planned move to the West Coast. Instead, she remained in D.C., reuniting with Tom Guidera to form the Angel Band. The group signed to Reprise and relocated to Los Angeles to begin work on Harris' major-label solo debut, 1975's acclaimed Pieces of the Sky, an impeccable collection made up largely of diverse covers ranging in origin from Merle Haggard to the Beatles. Produced by Brian Ahern, who would go on to helm Harris' next ten records -- as well as becoming her second husband -- Pieces of the Sky's second single, a rendition of the Louvin Brothers' "If I Could Only Win Your Love," became her first Top Five hit. "Light of the Stable," a Christmas single complete with backing vocals from Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Neil Young, soon followed; Harris then repaid the favor by singing on Ronstadt's "The Sweetest Gift" and Young's "Star of Bethlehem." For her second LP, 1976's Elite Hotel, Harris established a new backing unit, the Hot Band, which featured legendary Elvis Presley sidemen James Burton and Glen D. Hardin as well as a young songwriter named Rodney Crowell on backup vocals and rhythm guitar. The resulting album proved to be a smash, with covers of Buck Owens' "Together Again" and the Patsy Cline perennial "Sweet Dreams" both topping the charts. Before beginning sessions for her third effort, 1977's Luxury Liner, Harris guested on Bob Dylan's Desire and appeared in Martin Scorsese's documentary of the Band's legendary final performance, The Last Waltz. Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town followed in 1978, led by the single "Two More Bottles of Wine," her third number one. The record was Crowell's last with the Hot Band; one of the tracks, "Green Rolling Hills," included backing from Ricky Skaggs, soon to become Crowell's replacement as Harris' vocal partner. Released in 1979, Blue Kentucky Girl was her most country-oriented work to date, an indication of what was to come a year later with Roses in the Snow, a full-fledged excursion into acoustic bluegrass. In the summer of 1980, a duet with Roy Orbison, "That Lovin' You Feelin' Again," hit the Top Ten; a yuletide LP, Light of the Stable, followed at the end of the year. Shortly afterward, Harris quit touring to focus on raising her second daughter, Meghann. Evangeline, a patchwork of songs left off of previous albums, appeared in 1981. Shortly afterward, Skaggs left the Hot Band to embark on a solo career; his replacement was Barry Tashian, a singer/songwriter best known for fronting the 1960s rock band the Remains. In 1982, drummer John Ware, the final holdover from the first Hot Band lineup, left the group; at the same time, Harris' marriage to Ahern was also beginning to disintegrate. After 1981's Cimarron, Harris and the Hot Band cut a live album, Last Date, named in honor of the album's chart-topping single "(Lost His Love) On Our Last Date," a vocal version of the Floyd Cramer instrumental. Quickly, they returned to the studio to record White Shoes, Harris' final LP with Ahern at the helm. Her most far-ranging affair yet, it included covers of Donna Summer's "On the Radio," Johnny Ace's "Pledging My Love," and Sandy Denny's "Old-Fashioned Waltz." After leaving Ahern, she and her children moved back to Nashville. There, Harris joined forces with singer/songwriter Paul Kennerley, on whose 1980 concept album, The Legend of Jesse James, she had sung backup. Together, they began formulating a record called The Ballad of Sally Rose, employing the pseudonym Harris often used on the road to veil what was otherwise a clearly autobiographical portrait of her own life. Though a commercial failure, the 1985 record proved pivotal in Harris' continued evolution as an artist and a risk-taker; it also marked another chapter in her personal life when she and Kennerley wed shortly after concluding their tour. Angel Band, a subtle acoustic collection of traditional country spirituals, followed, although the record was not issued until 1987, after the release of its immediate follow-up, Thirteen. Harris, Dolly Parton, and Linda Ronstadt had first toyed with the idea of recording an album together as far back as 1977, only to watch the project falter in light of touring commitments and other red tape. Finally, in 1987, they issued Trio, a collection that proved to be Harris' best-selling album to date, generating the hits "To Know Him Is to Love Him" (a cover of the Phil Spector classic), "Telling Me Lies," and "Those Memories of You." The record's success spurred the 1990 release of Duets, a compilation of her earlier hits in conjunction with George Jones, Willie Nelson, Gram Parsons, and others. Fronting a new band, the Nash Ramblers, in 1992, she issued At the Ryman, a live set recorded at Nashville's legendary Ryman Auditorium, the former home of the Grand Ole Opry. At the time of the record's release, Harris was also serving a term as president of the Country Music Foundation. In 1993, she ended her long association with Warner Bros./Reprise to move to Asylum Records, where she released Cowgirl's Prayer shortly after her separation from Paul Kennerley. Two years later, during a stage in her career when most performers retreat to the safety of rehashing their greatest hits again and again, Harris issued Wrecking Ball, perhaps her most adventuresome record to date. Produced by Daniel Lanois, the New Orleans-based artist best known for his atmospheric work with U2, Peter Gabriel, and Bob Dylan, Wrecking Ball was a hypnotic, staggeringly beautiful work comprised of songs ranging from the Neil Young-penned title track (which featured its writer on backing vocals) to Jimi Hendrix's "May This Be Love" and the talented newcomer Gillian Welch's "Orphan Girl." A three-disc retrospective of her years with Warner Bros., Portraits, appeared in 1996, and in 1998 Harris resurfaced with Spyboy. Following the release of Trio II later that year, she and Ronstadt again reunited, this time minus Parton, for 1999's Western Wall: The Tucson Sessions. In 2000 Harris returned with Red Dirt Girl, her first album of original material in five years, featuring appearances from Bruce Springsteen, Patti Scialfa, Jill Cuniff, and Patty Griffin. She also made an appearance on the soundtrack for O Brother, Where Art Thou?, along with a number of traditional blues, country, and folk artists. In 2003, Harris released Stumble into Grace; two years later, she collaborated with Conor Oberst on I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning, as well as recording a version of "The Scarlet Tide" with Elvis Costello for the soundtrack to Cold Mountain. The retrospective The Very Best of Emmylou Harris: Heartaches & Highways was also released in 2005 on Rhino. All the Roadrunning, a collection of songs written with Mark Knopfler over the course of seven years, was released in 2006. In 2007 Harris sang a duet with Anne Murray, which appeared on Murray's 2008 album Duets: Friends and Legends. The Brian Ahern-produced All I Intended to Be arrived in 2008 as well. Hard Bargain, Harris' 21st studio album, was released by Nonesuch early in 2011. Produced by Jay Joyce, the album featured the striking Harris originals "Darlin' Kate" (written for Kate McGarrigle) and "The Road" (written for Gram Parsons). She contributed vocals to three songs on the Nick Cave/Warren Ellis-composed score to the film Lawless, including "Cosmonaut" and "Fire in the Blood," as well as a reading of Townes Van Zandt's "Snake Song." Harris also recorded Old Yellow Moon, a duet album with songwriter Rodney Crowell, a reunited version of her Hot Band, and producer Brian Ahern, performing the work of songwriters they admired. The album was issued in February of 2013. The pair followed it with The Traveling Kind, produced by Joe Henry. A mirror image of its predecessor, it showcased the pair's writing in collaboration with Mary Carr, Cory Chisel, Will Jennings, and Larry Klein, among others, as well as covers of songs by Lucinda Williams and Amy Allison. Nonesuch released the album in May 2015. ~ Jason AnkenySee stations that play Emmylou Harris

--Woody Hayes
Kevin Goldstein said this about Terrell Young:
Nationals: Terrell Young, RHP, Reds
By the time you read this, chances are good that Young has already been sold, for as much as $200,000. It's easy to argue that he's the best pure arm in the draft, with a plus-plus fastball, but he's also a guy with a very long injury history, command problems, and no real second pitch. He offers plenty to dream on, but it's a pretty distant dream and no sure thing.

Country Artist Tim Sweeney to Premiere New Music Video with Sign Language 1/28
Country Music Artist Tim Sweeney teamed up with Los Angeles Director Jules Dameron to produce a groundbreaking music video for, "Baby I Try For You" an upcoming release from Tim Sweeney's debut album "This Time." The video will premiere for invited guests at Arclight Cinemas in Pasadena, California on January 28th at 7:30 pm.
"The popularity of American Sign Language ('ASL') music videos has exploded on YouTube," says Tim Sweeney, "and I became captivated by the beauty and artistry of many of the ASL music interpretations."
Sweeney wrote "Baby I Try For You," as a tribute for his son "Timmy" who was born with Down syndrome and Autism and never developed the ability to talk.
The song beautifully expresses his son's perspective trying to communicate to his mother how much he loves her and how he wishes he could tell her. Sweeney commented, "I just felt he was trying to tell us that everything would be alright and that he loves us, and I was just trying to be his voice at that moment."
Sweeney had to find a Director for the video. "Not many people in the record industry supported my idea of using ASL in a mainstream Country Music video," but Sweeney ignored detractors and persisted until he found the ASL Music Video "Hero" Starring Sean Berdy directed by Jules Dameron. Sweeney reflects, "Jules work in that video was just amazing; the combination of the ASL story, the story and the performance of the actors and their expressiveness took that song to a whole new level for me. The video story and the ASL haunted me for weeks; it was such a beautiful artistic combination." "Baby I Try For You" was simply the right song at the right time to make such a combination into an extraordinarily moving, emotional experience.
Prior to the premiere of the video, there will be a discussion with Tim Sweeney and Jules Dameron regarding the making of this Groundbreaking Music Video.
Tim Sweeney's debut album - This Time is available on iTunes on January 28, 2013.

1849 Oregon Exchange Company Five Dollar1849 $5 Oregon Exchange Co. Five Dollar AU53 PCGS. K-1, R.5. The identity of "N. G. & N." (Norris, Gregg & Norris) was a numismatic mystery for a number of years, and an even more confusing array of initials appears on the obverse of the Oregon Exchange Company five dollar gold pieces. Above the beaver (a favorite device for Oregon area private issues, as seen on the North West Company token) are the initials "K.M.T.A.W.R.G.S." and below it are "T.O." Each acronym has its own importance -- and its own mistake.
High-Grade AU53 Example of K-1
High-Grade AU53 Example of K-1
In the case of the eight-letter acronym, each letter stands for a prominent businessmen of Oregon City, Oregon Territory, who was a founder of the Oregon Exchange Company, issuer of the pieces. The founders are, in order, Kilborn, Magruder, Taylor, Abernathy, Wilson, Rector, Campbell, and Smith; a "G" was used in place of the "C" for Campbell. The "T.O." should have read "O.T." for Oregon Territory as well. Both errors were corrected on the ten dollar Oregon Exchange Company dies, created later.
Unlike other private/territorial issues, the Oregon Exchange Company pieces were not alloyed to a particular standard (see Kagin's Private Gold Coins and Patterns of the United States) but left as the "NATIVE GOLD" seen on the reverse of the five dollar pieces. This example was struck from yellow-gold with a slight orange cast. Both sides show a number of light abrasions and occasional pinscratches, though the protected areas show traces of reflective luster, thus accounting for the AU53 designation. Listed on page 388 of the 2013 Guide Book. Population: 1 in 53, 3 finer (6/12). (PCGS# 10288)

The alleged FBI and U.S. Attorney investigations into the Newark watershed may have something to do with that.
In a recent interview with NJTV, Booker called the watershed, "one of the big policy losses that I had in Newark."
She clarified that there was no watershed moment when she decided to move into films.
"line separating waters flowing into different rivers," 1803, from water (n.1) + shed "ridge of high ground between two valleys or lower ground, a divide" in the topographical sense, perhaps from shed (v.) in its extended noun sense of "the part of the hair of the head" (14c.). A loan-translation of German Wasser-scheide. Figurative sense is attested from 1878. Meaning "ground of a river system" is from 1878.
watershed wa·ter·shed (wô'tər-shěd')
A ridge between two areas that directs drainage to either side.
The area of marginal blood flow at the extreme periphery of a vascular bed.
Ridges of the lumbar vetebrae and the pelvic brim formed in the abdominal cavity, which determine the direction in which a free effusion will gravitate when the body is supine.
A ridge of high land dividing two areas that are drained by different river systems. On one side of a watershed, rivers and streams flow in one direction; on the other side they flow in another direction. Also, the area drained by a water system.
Note: By extension, a "watershed" is a critical point that serves as a dividing line: "The parties reached a watershed in the contract negotiations."

Does the Average Greek Citizen Understand the Causes of The Country's Financial Crisis?
Question: Does the average Greek citizen understand the causes of their dilemma? Do they know that the average American citizen also has and largely still is spending more than they bring in?
Paul Solman
I don't know. But the most convincing exchange I had on the subject was with cab driver "Evgenios" from Cameroon, who came to study in Greece 37 years ago and stayed. Here it is:
PAUL SOLMAN: But do they [the Greek people] take responsibility for the fact that THEY borrowed more than they were earning?
EVGENIOS: Greek people, no. All they say about that is it's the responsibility for the government.
>PS: Do the Greek people understand that part of the fault is theirs for having spent more than they earned?
E: No. Definitely not.
PS: Why?
E:: Because you know what we call 'victory' is a child with many fathers. The defeat is always an orphan.
PS: An orphan?
E: Yes. They blame someone else.
PS: And who do they blame here?
E: They blame the politicians, I mean the government, the government who made all those things.
PS: Who's taken out the loans?
E: Yes.
PS: But half the people in Greece work for the government.
E: Of course [laughs]. Of course they work for the government. But they are people executing orders. It's not their fault.

A Brave, Probably Doomed Attempt To Understand Some Of The Weirdest GIFs On The Internet
Let's see how many we can manage. This post is kind of NSFW and also really weird.
1. Erm.
Where it's from: This didn't take very long. It's from this film review.
2. Whut.
Where it's from: Took a bit longer, turned out to be from this video by Cyriak Harris.
3. Why.
Where it's from: From this amazing video. Probably one of the best videos on the Internet, in fact. In which a woman who dabbles in animation tries to make a comedy video while singing a Rolling Stones song and just fails in every conceivable way.
4. Hmm.
Where it's from: Easy. Long convoluted story but it's from a 90s Apple advert that became a meme.
5. Weird.
Where it's from: It's an advert for Big Shake.
6. Things are getting strange.
Where it's from: No idea.
7. Right.
Where it's from: Uploaded to Tumblr and removed for breaching terms of service, apparently. But most likely a Seapunk creation.
8. Wrong.
Where it's from: This was projected on a big screen at a Tobacco concert.
9. This is starting to make me feel weird now.
Where it's from: It's from a NSFW short film. Which is basically a parody of a parody of other films.
10. "I've… seen things you people wouldn't believe."
Where it's from: fail. Uploaded to Imgur in 2012. Attempts to contact the original poster have drawn a blank. Possibly related to some completely unsubstantiated and hugely libellous rumours that circulated on a couple of web forums in 2007/8.
11. "I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate."
Where it's from: It's from a really weird ice cream commercial.
12. "Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion."
Where it's from: It's a really disturbing scene in this documentary.
13. "All those… moments… will be lost in time."
Where it's from: Not, as many people online claim, from a Japanese milk commercial. It's from a parody of a Japanese milk commercial on this site.
14. "Like tears… in… rain."
Where it's from: It looks like it was a submission on this 2005 thread. In case you were wondering it's Gary Busey's head merged with a film called The Gate.
15. "Time… to die…"
Where it's from: Appears to be French in origin but that's about as far as I got because I was laughing too much.
Updated: March 14, 10:32 a.m. GMT: The director of the video from which the GIF is taken has got in touch! His name is Matthew Lessner, and this is his video.
16. I just need to get off the internet to be honest.
Where it's from: Don't know. Look how happy he is!
17. Buseys.
Where it's from: BUSEY.
18. This is a thing.
Where it's from: Does it really matter?
19. Really starting to think all this is quite bad for you.
I feel a bit sick.
20. Why is the what.
Where it's from: some form of hell.
21. Wefoijewfoih.
Where it's from: woifewoifjo
- Uber has suspended its low-cost UberPOP service in France following protests last week.
- After two previous missions failed, Russia's Progress rocket took off to resupply the International Space Station ?
- BP has agreed to pay a $18.7 billion fine to settle legal actions over the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
- Liberia has reported three new cases of Ebola this week. The country was declared Ebola-free on May 9.

Great when you get it working
It took some time for us to get these phones programmed properly and working consistently on our Asterisk system. Once we got the tftp server running though, with centralized configuration management it really shows the power of the system. We don't use any scripts on the phones, which makes them more expensive for what we use them for, but it ends up working pretty well. The 6731i is a good basic phone, but things like directories are harder to use.
Great system
The 57i phone is great for the receptionist. For small systems there are plenty of BLF buttons. For a little larger system add some BLF modules. We use the Aastra Link Pro 160 central equipment. It makes programming very easy, even with SIP trunking and DID.
Irrelevant Review
The mangling of SIP communications protocols by either your gateway/firewall or internet provider has absolutely nothing to do with the quality, features, or reliability of the VoIP handset. That's like giving the garbage collector a one star review because you are angry with the ice-cream truck driver. Deal with the real issues, and stop blaming innocent bystanders.
I have a few of these, have used them for years in many different office environments, and have no complaints. I've dealt with Firewall / SIP issues too, but recognize clearly that they are unrelated to the chosen handset.
Not content with system & provider
We have moved recently, Aastra phone is indeed plug and play (Aastra 6757i) but then we had to cancel our internet provider and subscribe to a new one. Internet continues to work, phone system has not worked for over a month... Sales Staff have frustrated our IT people with incomplete answers regarding setting, firewall work arounds and how to edit important fundamental elements so that we can use our phones. We are almost at the point of throwing this system in the garbabe.
As far as I'm concerned, the Aastra 6757i phone is the industry standard.
great system
Phone has worked fantastic for me. I've had for about 2 years. switching my Profider, but only if I can keep my phones. Dependable, great sound, 2 lines...1 walk around. Large display, ez but lots of functions. for my small business i've been very happy and would purchase again.
Love it
What is not to love, easy setup and very reliable, owned one for almost a year now, not even one glitch!
Great phone, excellent features, great value.
The Aastra 57i is the phone we recommend over other phones. If you need a to program a feature a specific way, Aastras are the best to accomplish it and the 57i is an attractive well designed large LED phone. Excellent all around
One of the best IP phones sold today.
We use a few different manufacturers of IP phones for our Asterisk IP-PBX, and a few models of each. Our favorite is the Aastra, and specifically the 57i. The standard features on the 57i, along with the ability to customize button mappings and create new feature sets, are the best. Support on the phone is excellent, as well. The quality of the LCD, and its size and brightness is very good. Customers like the Aastra and my experience has been that once they use this phone they stay with it and when they have had mixed phone types end up prefering the 57i.
Aastra 57i Great Phone but needs better support
We purchase three 51i, four 57i and one 57iCT phones for our small business. Phones are connected to a Sangoma 600 FXS/FXO card in a Phoneboch 1U server.
Love the phones, but found them to be difficult to program and the scripts provided through Trixbox do not work as well as I feel they should. We want to use the day/night feature of the phone. Installed the script but it did not work without some extensive investigation into setup tweaking. Finally got it to work but it worked on only 4 of 5 phones. Then 2 days later day/night did not work again. We have decided to achieve the same goal using Trxibox program rather than spend our time dealing with Aastra scripts.
Aastra does not support the scripts and without the scripts the phone does not do all that they claim it does.
A big problem is figuring out what is controlled by Trixbox and what is controlled by the phones.
By the way, called Aastra support to figure out some issues with the phones. Save yourself the trouble, the advice we got was wrong and the gal on the phone did not seem to know what she was doing. Little to no help. We solve the problems on our own. Thankyou for nothing Aastra!

I believe making the lives of those around me better is important; live and let live, the golden rule, ten commandments...all have merit. It sure would be nice to fall in love.
