Ford Check Engine Light
Ford Check Engine Light Codes
The check engine light turning on can be quite intimidating, especially to see that little light on your vehicle's dashboard suddenly illuminate, but in reality, it is not something that should cause you to shut down in fear right away. If you hear the term, diagnostic trouble codes (DTC), these are just another name for check engine light codes. These are automotive computer codes stored by the ECM, also known as the OBD (on-board computer diagnostic system) in your. There are hundreds of different codes that your check engine light can accurately represent. While that sounds daunting, with a little patience, tackling basic diagnostics will give you useful knowledge about your vehicle and will also allow that vital Check Engine Light to do what it is genuinely supposed to do: be your guide. Unfortunately, apparent and useful vehicle symptoms do not invariably accompany an illuminated Check Engine Light. Since there are hundreds of imaginable OBD codes, there are also hundreds of imaginable reasons for the light, including:
- Fuel and air metering systems problems
- Computer output circuit issues
- Loose Gas Cap or Missing Gas Cap
- Bad Spark Plugs
- Transmission issues
- Old Battery
- O2 Sensor
- Emissions controls issues
- Ignition system faults
This is why it is important for someone who does not have a lot of predominant automotive knowledge to not assume what a code means. If the engine light comes on due to a serious concern, you risk damaging your vehicle further by not repairing the issue right away. When your check engine light comes on, you should get it checked out rapidly by a adept certified Ford mechanic. Call Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa at 4806901279 today or schedule your check engine light service online today!
What could cause the check engine light to come on in a Ford?
When your check engine light comes on, this could be as simple as tightening or replacing your gas cap. Still, the check engine light could also be a warning of a meaningful problem that could cause serious damage to your engine and come with a hefty and expensive repair bill. Depending on your make and model, the check engine light will illuminate or blink. A steady and continuous glow typically means something less serious but a flashing check engine light signifies that your vehicle's engine is in significant trouble and useful service is necessary rapidly. If your check engine light is flashing in your Ford, we immensely propose not to drive the vehicle and schedule Ford service today. Below is a list of the most common reasons your check engine light can come on:
- Issues with any aftermarket items. An aftermarket alarm, exhaust or other item can wreak extreme havoc on your Ford if it's not installed properly. These aftermarket components and accessories can drain the battery, trigger the check engine light, or even prevent the car from starting. If these issues sound familiar, bring your to Ford and have our team of gifted certified mechanics guarantee that your aftermarket items were installed correctly and aren't causing any issue. Getting accessories, particularly aftermarket parts and accessories, or using OEM components first place might cost a little bit more but could help you save substantially from having to get poor work and damage caused by poor installation work corrected.
- One of the most common and frequent cause is that your Ford gas cap is loose, damaged or missing. The gas cap for your Ford serves numerous purposes. It prevents perilous gas fumes from being released when you aren't driving, it seals the fuel system and helps maintain pressure within the fuel tank. What happens if you have a defective fuel cap? If your gas cap is old or has a ruptured seal, you can lose fuel through evaporation which will result in more trips to the pump and be more expensive. Luckily, to replace a gas cap isn't expensive. If your check engine light turns on swiftly after you put gas in your Ford, first thing you should check is to make sure the cap isn't loose — or that it's still on your car's roof or at the fuel pump.
- Your O2 Sensor (Oxygen Sensor) needs to be replaced. The Oxygen sensor, known as the O2 sensor, measures the amount of oxygen in your exhaust system. If there is excess oxygen in your exhaust system, fuel burns more promptly and your car will be less efficient when it comes to fuel economy. So what happens if I don't replace your O2 sensor? A defective sensor can not only affect your miles per gallon, but it can cause meaningful damage to your catalytic converter and your Ford 's spark plugs. The O2 sensor sends data to the vehicle's onboard computer to determine the definitely correct mixture of air and fuel that enters the cylinders in your engine. A defective O2 sensor can still cause a car to fail an emissions test.
- Your catalytic converter is bad or going bad. The catalytic converter is a part of your Ford 's exhaust system. The catalytic converter's function is to turn the carbon monoxide created by the combustion process into carbon dioxide. A damaged catalytic converter is ordinarily caused by invariably neglected maintenance, which is why Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa offers a complimentary multi-point check with each Ford service. If you have an issue with your catalytic converter and don't get it repaired, your Ford will not pass an emissions test, show a lack of engine performance and will negatively affect your fuel economy. Your car may run at a higher temperature, too, which can cause other dangerous problems from overheating.
- The battery is low or dead. The battery in your Ford is each vital. Without a car battery, your car won't start, light up the road ahead, play the radio or charge your phone. Today's car batteries last much longer than they did a few decades ago, and they don't genuinely require maintenance. The price of a new one depends on the type of Ford you drive, but check our current service coupons and specials.
- Your mass airflow sensor (known as MAF) needs to be replaced. The mass airflow sensor in your Ford is what determines how much fuel is required to run your engine efficiently by measuring the amount of air entering the engine. As a part of the engine management system, the mass airflow sensor helps adjust to certain changes, like altitude. If your Ford is having trouble starting, idling rough or has a sudden quick change in the position of the throttle pedal, this could be a crucial sign of a defective mass airflow sensor.
- Your Ford has a vacuum leak. Each Ford has a vacuum system that performs a wide variety of functions. The vacuum system still helps lower unhealthy emissions by routing the fumes as gasoline evaporates through the engine. If you notice that your RPM is high in idle or randomly surges, a vacuum leak could be the cause. Over time, vacuum hoses can dry out and crack, particularly if they're exposed to intense heat or extreme cold.
- New Spark Plugs or Plug Wires are required for your Ford. The spark plugs are the part of your engine that ignites the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber of your car. This explosion is what moves the pistons and makes the engine run smooth. The spark plug wires deliver the spark from the ignition coil to the spark plugs. If your spark plugs or spark plug wires are bad or old, you will experience a noticeable poor performance and reduced power. In some extreme cases, your engine will have trouble starting or continuing to run. Worn spark plugs and plug wires can cause clogged catalytic converter or damage to ignition coils and O2 sensors, leading to more expensive repairs.
Check Engine Light Service Ford
What do you do when you're driving along in your Ford and suddenly, a yellow light illuminates on your dash and says "Check Engine". If you're like most Ford owners, your heart sinks exceptionally because you may have exactly idea about what that light is trying to tell you or how you should react. The fear of the unknown (or the cost of the unknown) can be just as stressful. But take a deep, peaceful breath and realize the light coming on doesn't mean you have to pull the vehicle over to the side of the road and call a tow truck, but it is recommended that you get your Ford checked promptly. Ignoring that warning could end up causing major, huge damage to expensive engine parts.
When your Ford 's ECM (electronic control module), which is the vehicle's onboard computer, finds a problem in the electronic control system that it can't correct, a computer turns on your check engine light. This amber or yellow light is usually labeled "check engine" or "service engine soon", or the light may be nothing more than a picture of an engine, or a picture of the engine with the word "check."
When the light turns on, the ECM stores an engine code or "trouble code" in its memory that can rapidly identify the issue, whether it's a sensor or a failing engine part. This code is read with an electronic scan tool that is used by our Ford auto repair mechanics at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa. There are likewise a number of essentially inexpensive code readers that are designed for do-it-yourselfers, should you select that route too. While this code will tell you the issue that is detected, a true diagnosis still requires an experienced professional to determine the exactly correct issue and repair it.
Is it safe to drive your Ford with the check engine light on?
This question is not immensely simple because it all depends on the severity of the issue. If the cause is a minor issue, such as a loose gas cap, it should be secure to drive. This is generally indicated by a steady glow of the check engine light. If you notice a difference in the performance of the car, it could be an indication of a more serious problem. If the check engine light is flashing, this means that there is a serious issue and it is suggested to service your Ford quickly. Call the experts at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa by dialing 4806901279 so you can describe the issues. Or reduce your speed and bring your Ford to our certified mechanics as shortly as imaginable.
What Does the Check Engine Light Mean?
One of the most commonly misunderstood lights or indicators in your Ford is the check engine light. The check engine light is part of the crucial onboard diagnostics system, and displays in a wide range of different ways. It can say "Check Engine", it can be a symbol of an engine, it can even be a combination of both. This light illuminates in either an amber or red color and is part of the diagnostics system found on your vehicle. Onboard computers increasingly have controlled and monitored vehicle performance since the 80s and do a wide range of things for your Ford. Some of these essential duties include controlling engine speed, ignition timing, shifting automatic transmissions and implementing stability control, just to name a few. With that being said, the check engine light can mean a wide range of different things. It can be as simple as your gas cap being loose or as unpredictable as engine knocking. If your check engine light is on in your Ford, contact Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa. Our Ford service department can help you find out what code is turning your check engine light on or diagnose why your check engine light is flashing. Contact Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa today!
How much does it cost to get the engine light checked?
The average cost for a check engine light diagnosis & testing is generally between $88 and $111. The good news, Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa offers entirely complimentary multi-point inspections and free diagnostics, in most cases, to help determine the cause of your check engine light. The check engine light warns of issues ranging from a gas cap that's not properly tightened to a more serious failure like a bad catalytic converter or a problem with one of the car's oxygen sensors, so it good to get the proper code reading and diagnosis.
Ford Check Engine Light Flashing
Although there are countless potential causes of an illuminated Check Engine Light, we know from years of providing Check Engine Light Diagnosis Service that there are many common causes including something as simple as a loose gas cap. Other mainly common reasons for a Check Engine Light are damaged oxygen sensor, a malfunction with the fuel injection system, broken emissions control part, broken head gasket, dirty mass airflow sensor, or broken spark plugs to name a few. No matter what is the root cause of the Check Engine Light, we have the Ford Certified Technicians and the certified service protocol to isolate the root problem and utterly repair it as required to restore factory specifications. When this happens, the Check Engine Light turns off, and you can leave the service center knowing that your Ford issue was entirely fixed.
Every Ford was designed with a high-technology performance monitoring system with a computer, and a series of sensors positioned strategically throughout the car on its crucial systems. The quick sensors are continually detecting conditions while sending important data to the electronic control unit. If the electronic control unit detects that the data is out of factory specifications, the Check Engine Light illuminates telling you that there is a problem. However, sadly that is the limitation of the Check Engine Light – it won't tell you what exactly is wrong nor what to do about it. That's where we come in; Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa provides a Check Engine Light Diagnosis Service that isolates the core problem and gives you a recommendation on what to do next from a Very Qualified Service professional.
How many miles can you drive with the check engine light?
Since each check engine code has its own level of severity, it is usually difficult to predict how many miles you can be secure in driving with the warning light on. If you check engine light is flashing, we propose that you pull over and contact Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa to help determine if your car is secure to drive in or if we propose a tow truck. It could be anything from a bad sensor to plug wires needing to be replaced. The safest bet is to decipher the code and then plan your strategy accordingly.
Ford Check Engine Light
A flashing light reveals that the problem is extremely serious and if not taken care of quickly may result in major and serious damage to the car. If the check engine light in your Ford starts flashing, that means that the problem needs attention quickly and your Ford should be brought in rapidly. This blinking light ordinarily reveals a severe engine misfire allowing unburned fuel to be dumped into the exhaust system. There it can instantly raise the temperature of the catalytic converter to a point where damage is likely, requiring an costly and major repair. Some owners ask if spark plugs cause the check engine light to flash? This can absolutely be the cause. A defective, old or dirty spark plug can cause the engine to misfire. If your check engine light is always flashing, please contact our team of automotive experts at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa quickly by calling 4806901279. If the problem is totally ignored or you continue to drive, this can spread to the spark plug wires, catalytic converter, or ignition coils which can lead to a immensely expensive repair.
Will the check engine light reset itself?
The check engine light on your Ford will ordinarily shut itself off if the issue or code that caused it to turn on is fixed. For instance, if the cause of your check engine light coming on was a loose gas cap, if it's tightened, the light will expeditiously turn itself off. Again, if your catalytic converter is working perfectly, and you did a lot of stop-and-go driving, that may have turned on the check engine light due to the high usage of the converter. In most cases, your Ford light will go off after about 20-40 miles. If you drive over that amount and the light is still on, you will need to bring it in to Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa so the light and code can be double-checked and reset.

Boggs, who later served three years as ambassador to the Vatican during the Clinton administration, died of natural causes at her home in Chevy Chase, Md., according to her daughter, ABC News journalist Cokie Roberts.
Boggs' years in Congress started with a special election in 1973 to finish the term of her husband, Thomas Hale Boggs Sr., whose plane disappeared over Alaska six months earlier. Between them, they served a half-century in the House.
"It didn't occur to us that anybody else would do it," Roberts said in explaining why her mother was the natural pick for the congressional seat. Her parents, who had met in college, were "political partners for decades," she said, with Lindy Boggs running her husband's political campaigns and becoming a player on the Washington political scene.
Roberts called her mother "a trailblazer for women and the disadvantaged."
In a statement, President Barack Obama said Boggs' legacy "as a champion of women's and civil rights over her nine terms in office as the first woman elected to the United States Congress from Louisiana will continue to inspire generations to come."
When Boggs announced her retirement in 1990, she was the only white representing a black-majority district in Congress. "I am proud to have played a small role in opening doors for blacks and women," she said at the time.
As family tragedy brought her in to Congress, so did it usher her out. At the time of her July 1990 announcement, her daughter Barbara Boggs Sigmund, mayor of Princeton, N.J., was dying of cancer. Sigmund died that October.
Her son, Thomas Hale Boggs Jr., is a leading Washington lawyer and lobbyist.
The elder Boggs was first elected to Congress in 1940, two years after the couple married. Both were also active in local reform groups.
Lindy Boggs was more than the typical congressional wife. She ran several of her husband's political campaigns and helped him in his Washington and New Orleans offices.
"Early on, Hale established with politicians at home that I was his direct representative and that they could say anything to me that they could say to him. Whatever decisions I made, they would be his final decisions," she said in 1976.
Breaking with most Southern whites, Lindy Boggs saw civil rights as an inseparable part of the political reform movement of the 1940s and `50s.
"You couldn't want to reverse the injustices of the political system and not include the blacks and the poor. It was just obvious," she said in 1990.
She worked for the Civil Rights Acts of 1965 and 1968, Head Start and other programs to help minorities, the poor and women.
After she entered Congress, Boggs used her seat on the House Appropriations Committee to steer money to New Orleans and the rest of the state. As a member of the House Banking and Currency Committee, she used typical steely grace to include women in the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974.
"I ran into a room where there was a copying machine, wrote in `sex and marital status' on the bill, and made 47 copies," she said. "When I took it back into the subcommittee meeting, I told them I was sure it was just an oversight on their part."
Boggs changed the way politics operated, former Sen. J. Bennett Johnston, D-La., once said.
"I've seen it time after time," Johnston said. "On difficult issues, powerful men and women are going toe to toe, sometimes civilly, sometimes acrimoniously. Lindy Boggs will come into the room. The debate will change. By the time she leaves the room, she usually has what she came to get."
As the first woman to chair the Democratic National Convention, in 1976, she decreed that she would be addressed as "Madam Chairwoman," rather than "Madam Chairman" or "Madam Chairperson."
"I'm a woman," she said. And, "Why should it be neuter?"
When Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005, one of the hardest-hit facilities was Lindy Boggs Medical Center, a historic hospital named in her honor the previous year.
Her Bourbon Street home also was damaged and The Washington Post reported in February 2006 that she was living in a hotel nearby.
"There are worlds of friends I miss," she told the newspaper. "The culture is not there."
Corinne Claiborne was born March 13, 1916, on a plantation near New Orleans, a descendant of William C.C. Claiborne, the state's first elected governor. She came to be known as Lindy, according to Roberts, because a nurse thought she looked like her father, Roland Claiborne, and called her "Rolindy."
She attended Sophie Newcomb College, affiliated with Tulane University, and met her future husband when both were editors of the Tulane student paper. She taught school between graduation in 1935 and their marriage in 1938.
As part of a group of well-connected women called the Independent Women's Organization, she took to the street in a "Broom Brigade" in 1945, sweeping the streets to publicize the need to sweep out graft and corruption.
In her first election for Congress, in March 1973, she had to overcome prejudice against her gender and privileged background.
Said her Republican opponent, Robert E. Lee: "I've covered this district by foot, by car, by air. This is something that takes a strong, healthy man. ... A socialite is not going to do this district any good in Congress."
Her constituents disagreed, giving her at least 60 percent of the vote in every election from then on.
In 1991, a room in the Capitol for female members of Congress was renamed the Lindy Claiborne Boggs Congressional Women's Reading Room to honor her long association with Congress. According to the House website, it was the first, and only time so far, that a room in the Capitol has been named for a woman.
Her Vatican posting was from 1997 to early 2001, and she said her goals were to work with the Vatican on promoting democracy, tolerance, religious freedom, peace and human rights.
In 2000, she announced that she would resign after President Bill Clinton left office, no matter which party won. "It's been an honor and a privilege and a wonderful opportunity to be in this position, but it's also extremely exhausting," she said at the time.
Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, said in a statement that Boggs possessed "a keen intelligence and enduring charm," and was "a true original" who was "as graceful as she was effective."
"The country has lost a champion for civil rights and a trailblazer for women," the said.
In addition to her children, Boggs is survived by eight grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.

Photos from Sandy's path
A weakening Sandy, the hurricane turned fearsome superstorm, killed at least 50 people, many hit by falling trees, and still wasn't finished. It inched inland across Pennsylvania, ready to bank toward western New York to dump more of its water and likely cause more havoc Tuesday night. Behind it: a dazed, inundated New York City, a waterlogged Atlantic Coast and a moonscape of disarray and debris - from unmoored shore-town boardwalks to submerged mass-transit systems to delicate presidential politics.
Watch ABC7's Ben Bradley report from Cape May, NJ
"Nature," said New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, assessing the damage to his city, "is an awful lot more powerful than we are."
More than 8.2 million households were without power in 17 states as far west as Michigan. Nearly 2 million of those were in New York, where large swaths of lower Manhattan lost electricity and entire streets ended up under water - as did seven subway tunnels between Manhattan and Brooklyn at one point, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said. The New York Stock Exchange was closed for a second day from weather, the first time that has happened since a blizzard in 1888. The city's subway system, the lifeblood of more than 5 million residents, was damaged like never before and closed indefinitely, and Consolidated Edison said electricity in and around New York could take a week to restore.
"Everybody knew it was coming. Unfortunately, it was everything they said it was," said Sal Novello, a construction executive who rode out the storm with his wife, Lori, in the Long Island town of Lindenhurst, and ended up with 7 feet of water in the basement.
The scope of the storm's damage wasn't known yet. Though early predictions of river flooding in Sandy's inland path were petering out, colder temperatures made snow the main product of Sandy's slow march from the sea. Parts of the West Virginia mountains were blanketed with 2 feet of snow by Tuesday afternoon, and drifts 4 feet deep were reported at Great Smoky Mountains National Park on the Tennessee-North Carolina border.
Sandy devastates New Jersey shore
National Guard troops searching from the skies see destruction up and down the Jersey Shore, repeated in town after town.
"I'm usually not afraid of storms, but this one really scared me. And I told my mom this will be the last one we ride out on an island," said Rita Mckelvey, West Wildwood, NJ, resident.
"I didn't expect it would be this bad. I didn't expect to see homes in the middle of the road," said Gov. Christie.
Many residents who ignored evacuation orders, and found themselves stranded, are now safe. Canoes and heavy trucks became their lifeboats. Sandy also didn't spare an amusement park.
"The amusement pier at Seaside Park is essentially half washed out," said said Gov. Christie. "The devastation at the Jersey Shore is unthinkable."
In Brigantine, New Jersey, the storm surge delivered one boat to the side of a home. Another was marooned in the middle of the street.
In Ocean City, a wall of water rushed inland, drowning homes and damaging buildings.
Even Atlantic City's huge casinos were damaged. Small pieces of the sign atop the Trump Taj Mahal are missing. Several sections of the famous boardwalk were washed away.
The southern tip of New Jersey escaped serious damage thanks to a last minute course correction that sent Sandy a bit north.
"It really helped knock down the wave activity. So it was a tremendous help with that shift in the winds," said Diane Sorantino, Cape May, NJ, police chief.
That means on Tuesday in Cape May residents can laugh off some of Sandy's souvenirs.
"There used to be so much sand and now it's all gone," said one child.
"We've lost quite a bit of beach, but we know where it is," said Larry Schneider, Cape May, NJ, resident. "On the road and down the street."Sandy impacts presidential campaign, East Coast
With Election Day a week away, the storm also threatened to affect the presidential campaign. ABC7's Charles Thomas report on the race Federal disaster response, always a dicey political issue, has become even thornier since government mismanagement of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. And poll access and voter turnout, both of which hinge upon how people are impacted by the storm, could help shift the outcome in an extremely close race.
As organized civilization came roaring back Tuesday in the form of emergency response, recharged cellphones and the reassurance of daylight, harrowing stories and pastiches emerged from Maryland north to Rhode Island in the hours after Sandy's howling winds and tidal surges shoved water over seaside barriers, into low-lying streets and up from coastal storm drains.
Images from around the storm-affected areas depicted scenes reminiscent of big-budget disaster movies. In Atlantic City, N.J., a gaping hole remained where once a stretch of boardwalk sat by the sea. In Queens, N.Y., rubble from a fire that destroyed as many as 100 houses in an evacuated beachfront neighborhood jutted into the air at ugly angles against a gray sky. In heavily flooded Hoboken, N.J., across the Hudson River from Manhattan, dozens of yellow cabs sat parked in rows, submerged in murky water to their windshields. At the ground zero construction site in lower Manhattan, sea water rushed into a gaping hole under harsh floodlights.
One of the most dramatic tales came from lower Manhattan, where a failed backup generator forced New York University's Tisch Hospital to relocate more than 200 patients, including 20 babies from neonatal intensive care.
Dozens of ambulances lined up in the rainy night and the tiny patients were gingerly moved out, some attached to battery-powered respirators as gusts of wind blew their blankets.
In Moonachie, N.J., 10 miles north of Manhattan, water rose to 5 feet within 45 minutes and trapped residents who thought the worst of the storm had passed. Mobile-home park resident Juan Allen said water overflowed a 2-foot wall along a nearby creek, filling the area with 2 to 3 feet of water within 15 minutes. "I saw trees not just knocked down but ripped right out of the ground," he said. "I watched a tree crush a guy's house like a wet sponge."
In a measure of its massive size, waves on southern Lake Michigan rose to a record-tying 20.3 feet. High winds spinning off Sandy's edges clobbered the Cleveland area early Tuesday, uprooting trees, closing schools and flooding major roads along Lake Erie.
Most along the East Coast, though, grappled with an experience like Bertha Weismann of Bridgeport, Conn.- frightening, inconvenient and financially problematic but, overall, endurable. Her garage was flooded and she lost power, but she was grateful. "I feel like we are blessed," she said. "It could have been worse."
The presidential candidates' campaign maneuverings Tuesday revealed the delicacy of the need to look presidential in a crisis without appearing to capitalize on a disaster. President Barack Obama canceled a third straight day of campaigning, scratching events scheduled for Wednesday in swing-state Ohio, in Sandy's path. Republican Mitt Romney resumed his campaign with plans for an Ohio rally billed as a "storm relief event."
And the weather posed challenges a week out for how to get everyone out to vote. On the hard-hit New Jersey coastline, a county elections chief said some polling places on barrier islands will be unusable and have to be moved.
"This is the biggest challenge we've ever had," said George R. Gilmore, chairman of the Ocean County Board of Elections.
By Tuesday afternoon, there were still only hints of the economic impact of the storm. Airports remained closed across the East Coast and far beyond as tens of thousands of travelers found they couldn't get where they were going.
IHS Global Insight, a forecasting firm, predicted the storm will end up causing about $20 billion in damages and $10 billion to $30 billion in lost business - big numbers probably offset by reconstruction and repairs that will contribute to longer-term growth. Americans can also expect higher gas prices in the short term.
"The biggest problem is not the first few days but the coming months," said Alan Rubin, an expert in nature disaster recovery.
Sandy began in the Atlantic and knocked around the Caribbean - killing nearly 70 people - and strengthened into a hurricane as it chugged across the southeastern coast of the United States. By Tuesday night it had ebbed in strength but was joining up with another, more wintry storm - an expected confluence of weather systems that earned it nicknames like "superstorm" and, on Halloween eve, "Frankenstorm."
It became, pretty much everyone agreed Tuesday, the weather event of a lifetime - and one shared vigorously on social media by people in Sandy's path who took eye-popping photographs as the storm blew through, then shared them with the world by the blue light of their smartphones.
On Twitter , Facebook and the photo-sharing service Instagram, people tried to connect, reassure relatives and make sense of what was happening - and, in many cases, work to authenticate reports of destruction and storm surges. They posted and passed around images and real-time updates at a dizzying rate, wishing each other well and gaping, virtually, at scenes of calamity moments after they unfolded. Among the top terms on Facebook through the night and well into Tuesday, according to the social network: "we are OK," ''made it" and "fine."
Around midday Tuesday, Sandy was about 120 miles east of Pittsburgh, pushing westward with winds of 45 mph, and was expected to turn toward New York State on Tuesday night. Although weakening as it goes, the storm will continue to bring heavy rain and flooding, said Daniel Brown of the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
Atlantic City's fabled Boardwalk, the first in the nation, lost several blocks when Sandy came through, though the majority of it remained intact even as other Jersey Shore boardwalks were dismantled. What damage could be seen on the coastline Tuesday was, in some locations, staggering - "unthinkable," New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said of what unfolded along the Jersey Shore, where houses were swept from their foundations and amusement park rides were washed into the ocean. "Beyond anything I thought I would ever see."
Resident Carol Mason returned to her bayfront home to carpets that squished as she stepped on them. She made her final mortgage payment just last week. Facing a mandatory evacuation order, she had tried to ride out the storm at first but then saw the waters rising outside her bathroom window and quickly reconsidered.
"I looked at the bay and saw the fury in it," she said. "I knew it was time to go."

Hurdle happy with effort on fundamental drills
BRADENTON, Fla. -- Clint Hurdle has gotten an extended chance to see through the rebirth of the Pirates, who announced an extension to his contract as manager on Tuesday.
Hurdle, 55, was approaching the final year of the three-year contract he signed in November 2010. The 2014 option in that agreement has been exercised, and added was a club option for 2015.
"I feel privileged to have the opportunity to continue and finish what we started," said Hurdle. "There's no place I would rather be than in a Pirates uniform. I'm very humbled, and really look forward to the challenge in front of us."
Should he finish out the length of the contract, including the option year, Hurdle would become the first manager to serve a five-season stint with the Bucs since Jim Leyland guided them from 1986-96.
"We feel it's a good match, with my situation," said general manager Neal Huntington, himself given an extension through 2014 with an option for 2015 late during the 2011 season. "This is something we all felt more comfortable with.
"This is a conversation we've pretty much had since the day we hired him: When is the right time to put that extra year in place? And we felt now is the right time," Huntington added.
It was a quick process. According to Hurdle, the subject was first raised about a week ago, when Spring Training camp opened, and the conversations leading to the agreement occurred within the last 48 hours.
"There weren't really a lot of negotiations," Hurdle said. "A contract needs to work for everybody: For Bob (club chairman Bob Nutting), for Neal, for myself, and for the coaching staff and players."
"Clint Hurdle has played a significant role in the transition of an organization that has improved at the Major League level by 22 wins over the past two seasons," Huntington had said in a statement accompanying the announcement. "Clint's leadership, infectious positive energy, passion and knowledge transcend the clubhouse and we believe he is the right man to help us return championship-caliber baseball to Pittsburgh."
Hurdle's Pirates reached a peak of 16 games over .500 last season, when they sported a winning record for a stretch of 107 days through Sept. 18, though ultimately the club finished with a losing record for a 20th consecutive season.
However, the 79 wins marked an improvement over the 72 wins of 2011, which came following 105 losses in the season prior to Hurdle's appointment.
Hurdle's rally cry in 2012 following a similar late-season fade in 2011 had been, "Finish!"
With 685 wins as a big league manager, Hurdle will enter the season 15 victories shy of becoming the 11th active manager with at least 700 wins in the Major Leagues.
"We love Pittsburgh, absolutely," Hurdle said on Monday, including wife Karla and younger children Madison and Christian in that sentiment. "This is your opportunity to be a small part of a group accomplishing a goal. From the first day I took this job, I said I wanted to reconnect the city with its baseball team.
"There's still unfinished business, we haven't yet gotten where we want to get, but I think we did re-ignite the fan base to some degree."

About Butterick 5882: Straps, Etc.
I wanted to clarify something about the straps on B5882. As I mentioned briefly in my last post, I had intended for the straps to twist when worn. And, as it turns out, the folks at Butterick (while genius) are not mind readers. Who knew?!
So I wanted to show you pictures of the dress as I made and styled it, so you can make your choice when sewing the pattern. Here's a picture I took in my sewing room, right after I finished the dress.
Oh! And here's the dress on display at the Craft and Hobby Association in Anaheim last month!
Several of you asked about how to do an FBA on this pattern, so I'll be sure to write about that soon.
Thanks again for all of your support! It means the world to me.
P.S. Several of you mentioned waiting for a sale to purchase the pattern, and you're in luck! Patterns are currently $1.88 on the Butterick site. The sale ends this Thursday, February 28th.

Thanks for the sale info I'm going to grab it now. And I really do just LOVE this dress!!ReplyDelete
I forget if it's this week or next week (and I'm too tired to go look it up), but they'll be $1 at Joanns' soon.ReplyDelete
wow, the dress looks fantastic. Love it so much, it is defo going on my to do list...ReplyDelete
A gorgeous dress! I wish to make one for myself one day. Maybe sooner than later thanks to the sale. Thanks for the hint!ReplyDelete
And huge congratulations on your book and everything else you've accomplished since the start of this wonderful blog of yours!!!
- AnonymousFebruary 25, 2013 at 12:05 PM
Thanks for clarifying about the strap! I can't wait to get my hands on your newest lovely pattern. :)ReplyDelete
I snatched both of your new patterns up! I also brought a few more I had my eye on as shipping was 12$ so I figured I should make it worth it.ReplyDelete
Looking forward to the FBA tutorial! And thanks for the heads-up about the sale. I've been waiting for a sale so I could get your coat pattern. :)ReplyDelete

Wow. The dress looks great. Congratulations on the release of the pattern.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 25, 2013 at 12:44 PM
Still not on the UK site!!! But I'm all about the fba so am happy to wait :DReplyDelete
Took advantage of the sale, so my patterns on its way. So glad you're planning to do an FBA tutorial for it so my tired brain doesn't have to try to come up with a method for it on it's own. I think it's wonderful that you went for the shelf-bust design for this season's pattern since those are nearly impossible to find in the vintage pattern market.ReplyDelete
Great timing on the sale! I also prefer your strap "twist" since it seems we also see a bit more red on your version of the dress. It makes more sense to me. But as you said, either way turned out beautifully.ReplyDelete
This dress is amazing! I can't wait to make one for myself. I LOVE the fabric you used too, where can I find it for myself?ReplyDelete
This is such a striking design! I wish I had more fancy functions and less irrational fear of cleavage so I could actually justify making it. I'll just have to live vicariously through everyone's versions, which are sure to be great!ReplyDelete
Since you promised the FBA, I'm def. getting one now!ReplyDelete
I love the twist in the strap! Such a great detail, and how lucky are we to have the styling direct from the designer herself!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 25, 2013 at 3:03 PM
Thanks, I have been checking Joanne Fabrics for this pattern to go on sale but I never have time to get to the fabric store so this is great. I want to make this dress for my New Orleans Jazz Fest vacation.ReplyDelete

This pattern to gorgeous,I've always love this bustline,Thanks Gertie!ReplyDelete
I will be buying it today!
I am so in love with this pattern! Thanks for the pics of how it should be. It cleared things up for me!ReplyDelete
- StephanieFebruary 25, 2013 at 6:02 PM
ordered it! very excited :)ReplyDelete
Hi there Gertie,ReplyDelete
I love the dress and was tempted to buy the pattern, but was put off as the dress on the model made it look like the bust part was quite shallow............I am small busted, as is my daugther, so that part needs more coverage, due to our lack of shelf!! LOL.
So, really pleased to see the dress on your dummy, which seems to show the bust cups as more balanced to the rest of the dress.......can you tell us, it looks like they have tucked under part of the cups as there are only 3 pleats and your dress has 5 pleats in the cup if you see what I mean. Could you clarify this.
Your picture of the dress seems to be more in proportion to the rest of the design. Would love to know before I purchase the pattern.......Love your choice of fabrics by the way.
Pleased to see that you are going from strength to strength. I keep on dipping in and out of your book and am enjoying it very much.
Damn sales, I just spent more money eeep! :)ReplyDelete
Love love love this dress. I can't resist a good sale so I will probably end up buying the pattern. I'm also enrolled in your bombshell dress class on craftsy. I was very inspired by a pleating technique in the latest Threads, that looks a lot like the pleats on the bust of this dress. So I'm thinking of incorporating that detail in when I make the bombshell dress, assuming it wouldn't add too much bulk to the bust area. Seeing on this dress makes me think it'll actually work.ReplyDelete
I'm also obsessed with having a retro cherry print dress this summer, and the fabric you used is making me swoon. Swoon! You would not believe how difficult it is to find a cotton dress weight cherry fabric on the wide world of the interwebs!
Well, anyways. Congratulations, Gretchen, you're my sewing hero :)
Lovely! I snatched up the pattern as soon as it came out and just made the first version (and corresponding pattern review) on my blog! You can see the results here: http://www.edelweisspatterns.com/blog/?p=3627ReplyDelete
I love that there's a way to make the shelf bust a little higher, and it really highlights the pleating more that way!
Happy sewing!
This is such a gorgeous pattern! I'm so impressed, now I'm even more eager to learn so I can make this dress some day.ReplyDelete
I have been loving sewing through your book and this dress looks perfect for the summer. I will have to get the pattern but I may need to finish up some more projects from your book before I get to sew this cutie up. ~Major MomaReplyDelete
Gertie, I am one of the people who bought your Starlet craftsy class. You have gotten a bad name at Craftsy - for the lack of interaction available, which is totally different to all the other instructors - and for the messed up lining pattern which just doesn't work... I have had issues with the patterns in your book too, and there is no way I will buy any patterns by you again - whether they're made by Butterick or not. If you want people to continue buying your stuff you really need to honour your commitments and practise quality control.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm sorry you feel that way! You can get a full refund for the Starlet class, as it is no longer offered by Craftsy, which is why I don't participate in it. There was indeed a grading error with the pattern, and Craftsy felt it easier to pull the whole class than correct it. So they should have given you a refund anyway.Delete
As for the book, I'm not sure what your complaints are, so can't really respond there. But shoot me an email if you need help with anything!
Thank you for adressing this! I have asked Craftsy for a refund now, will let other know if I get it. Also, I love your book, and as you are making a new one, my biggest issue with it was the pattern sheets. I had hoped for induvidual pattern sheets for each pattern, finding the right one was dificult. For your next book, could you consider making separate sheets for each pattern? If not, how about a color code, so it would be easier to follow the lines? This had given me so much frustration I have decided not to use the patterns at all and rather use your sections on tecnique and fitting.Delete
I love almost everything about the book, as well, but I agree color coding the patterns would have been helpful. I was still able to sort it out, but just for the sake of constructive criticism for your next book-- I'd gladly pay an extra buck or two if that's what it cost for color coded patterns.Delete
Seems I forgot to ask for an actual refund, and they did not offer me one in their answer, however they offered to switch it for another jacket course, a quilted jacket, witch includes a butterick pattern, including shipping. I guess I'll go with that!Delete
Have now purchased all of your butterick patterns. I was waiting eagerly for the spring patterns and am beyond satisfied!
Hi Gertie,Delete
Your Bombshell class is still available on Craftsy. As you mentioned you don't participate in the Starlet class because it isn't offered any more, can you comment on why your support has been withdrawn from the Bombshell class?
Thanks for the feedback, all! Could not agree more about the pattern sheets. We're looking at other options for book 2, I'm really hoping one will work out financially.Delete
Neurula, yes I can comment on that. Craftsy classes only require teacher participation for a year. After that, they generally appoint an assistant teacher.
I want one!!! This dress is gorgeous!ReplyDelete
I love the dress, but it's a lot smaller than I am. Will Butterick ever issue it in larger sizes?ReplyDelete
I am trying to get through your Craftsy course too. I feel I need more time than anything. I watch and re-watch the videos until I get cross-eyed, but when I watched it all through and take a break, I come back and it makes more sense, or at least, I can see another way I can do it that makes sense to me. I hope to be done the dress before the End of Time.
I'm really looking forward to your casual dress book. I'm hoping it will be an easier, kinder, gentler version of your couture book for the sewing doofus that is myself.
- paloverdeFebruary 27, 2013 at 1:44 AM
The shelf bust dress pattern is completely out of stock already! I was all set to order it, too!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the sale tip ;) I went ahead and bought all your pattern, in both sizes :D I always do that since you never know when you'll need bigger or smaller.ReplyDelete
To make your version, did you just flip the bias tape down and it stay there?
it is beautiful and very nice i like this thank you so much =)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 27, 2013 at 1:30 PM
I think it looks perfectly beautiful with or without the twist! And whooohooo, $1.88 patterns> Thanks for the tip! I am heading over to Butterick.com now.ReplyDelete
im looking for a sewing mach. and dont know what to buy i would like to make clothes but my husband wants it for more heavy duty things such as tents and camping gear. do you have any suggestions?ReplyDeleteReplies
Dear Geoffrey,Delete
I don't have Gerties expertise, but I would highly recommend starting with a used Singer in good condition. I picked mine up for a song when computerized machines became the rage. True, it only does four different stitches, but I have never found the need for more. It hasn't broken in fifteen years, and I do the maintenance myself. Just like with cars, the less computerized elements, the less to break down. I use it for apparel sewing, mostly vintage, so it fits :) I also repair my husbands canvas camping gear with it, renewing seams and adding patches. Hope you find the perfect machine! You might try a local sew and vac repair,they often have these great older machines.
I'm a newbie sewer but am continuously drawn to all the vintage vocue patterns,(I now have 2 dresses and a coat with about 6 more patterns cut and ready to be made up.)ReplyDelete
Having discovered your blog I have gone straight onto Amazon to grab your book and am looking everywhere for your Butterick patterns but can't find them. Are they being sold in the UK at all as I really really really want to make this dress?
My pattern is sitting in my mailbox right now! I can't wait to sew this dress - gorgeous! www.thatssewamy.comReplyDelete
Thank you Thank you Thank you in advance for doing a FBA for this pattern! I'm an H cup and I tried on a dress very similar to this with the shelf bust at Trashy Diva. They were sold out of the color I wanted and I suspect that the shelf is supposed to go under your breasts rather than somewhere in the middle. I need to get this pattern now!ReplyDelete
You made that one? It's gorgous! I just picked it up to make some time soon. :)ReplyDelete
Do you think this would work in seersucker or a nice quilters cotton?ReplyDelete
I'm thinking about getting this pattern (after there are instructions for a FBA!), and I just wanted to clarify something: the bias band is supposed to sit at your underbust, right? It looks like it hits just below the fullest part of the model's bust.ReplyDelete
Very excited by this pattern. Do you know when this pattern will be available in Australia and does the sizing run true to size?ReplyDelete
Gertie, I am just finishing sewing this dress and I have to say, I love it! I am just having trouble with one thing... the strap under the bust. It is pesky and wants to flip up (like in the Butterick photo). Did you do any hand-sewing to keep it behaving? How do you keep it in place?ReplyDelete
BTW - I took your Bombshell course and LOVED it, too. I am in Phoenix and can't wait to hear where you are doing an appearance.
- Laura DMarch 21, 2013 at 4:44 PM
I just picked up this pattern and fabric last week. I'm glad I came across this before making the dress, now I can make sure that the strap sits correctly. I thought it looked a little off in the Butterick image. Overall it's a stunning dress and I'm psyched to make it!ReplyDelete
Just want to congratulate you on your line of patterns.ReplyDelete
I just found out about you and your blog today.
Just wanted to say how beautiful this pattern is as I don't wear dresses hardly(prefer skirts and cute tops). Now I think I will make one for myself!
Best wishes and can't wait to see your upcoming patterns.
- AnonymousMay 10, 2013 at 6:00 PM
I like how Butterick photoshopped the picture of the dress on their website once they found out they didn't photograph the strap turned down as you intended! ;)ReplyDelete
thanks admin good blog and text. mirc indir mevlana sözleri kapak sözler abiye modelleri moda sitesiReplyDelete
Hi Gertie -- quick question about this pattern. I'm newer to sewing with a pattern, since I started out as a quilter. It says to cut the strap in both the contrast fabric and the main fabric, but as far as I can tell, only the contrast fabric is used for the strap. Or am I missing something? Can you provide some guidance? Making this dress for my rehearsal dinner and I want to get it right! Thanks so much! :)ReplyDelete

Ask Amalie: What's next for Red Sox?She is mostly likely right, of course, but I really don't like it when people state an uncertainty as a concrete fact. There are many ways to communicate that the chances of any Red Sox baseball after October 3 is mighty slim; why not use one of them? Writers (and fans) in Boston and New York declared the 2004 ALCS over after three games -- and they all ended up looking like fools. (Jeez, even Jim Donaldson gets it, admitting he was "stunningly wrong" in 1999 and 2004.)
We finally have our answer. The Red Sox will not be going to the postseason this year ... All hope is gone, at least where it concerns the rest of the Red Sox season.
So: Cool Standings is up an entire percentage point (2.1%).
BP has the Sox up to 3.6% (+1.5%!), 1.4%, and 2.9%.
1935 - Cleveland leads Boston 5-3 at Fenway, but the Red Sox have the bases loaded with no one out in the bottom of the ninth. Joe Cronin lines a pitch off the side of the head of Cleveland 3B Odell Hale. The ball caroms to SS Bill Knickerbocker, who throws to 2B Roy Hughes, who throws to 1B Hal Trosky to complete a triple play and end the game.
1996 - Marlins LF Joe Orsulak throws out three Expos at the plate in a span of five batters. He throws out two runners on consecutive plays to end the third inning, then guns down another in the fourth. Montreal wins 2-1.

In Colorado, Empty Gun Dorm Sends A Message
Young people are not exactly renowned for their judgment.
We are, after all, talking about an age group that has to be told it is a bad idea to text while doing 70. Or drink alcohol till it spews from your nostrils. Or wear a T-shirt and flip-flops to interview for an office job.
So no, judgment is not their forte. Yet even they have enough sense to steer clear of the gun dorm.
You haven't heard about the gun dorm? Well, back in August, the University of Colorado announced it was segregating students with valid concealed-carry permits in dorms of their own on its campuses in Boulder and Colorado Springs. This, after the state Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling that struck down the school's ban on people bringing guns on campus. So now, a student 21 years or older who has a permit may be armed in the dorm or even in class, though not, for some reason, at a school event requiring a ticket.
Recently, the Denver Post decided to count the number of young gunslingers who wanted to live among their own. How many kids had rushed to take advantage of this opportunity?
Let's just say there is not a waiting list. The Post reports the number of kids who opted for the gun dorm is zero. A big, fat goose egg.
The paper speculated on a few reasons for this: maybe there are not enough students with carry permits who live on campus; maybe students with such permits find it more convenient just to sneak their guns into the old dorm.
OK. But isn't it also possible at least some of this preference for unleaded dorms reflects a happy outbreak of simple sanity? Is it too much to hope at least some students recognize — as the court did not — that an environment full of immature judgment, poor impulse control, overactive hormones, sexual rivalries, drug use and binge drinking is perhaps, not the best place to introduce weapons of mass destruction?
One keeps thinking that surely there has to be some middle ground that balances the rights of responsible adults to own firearms with the need of a society to ensure that people who ought not have access to them are denied. But we will never get there so long as the debate is dominated by the sort of extremism Colorado exemplifies.
As has happened with conservatism generally, the gun rights movement has lurched hard to the right in recent years, has alienated reason, ostracized compromise and fetishized guns and gun ownership to a point that seems psychologically unhealthy.
What was once a campaign to ensure the right of people to bear arms has mutated into a campaign to ensure guns at all times for everybody everywhere and to smack down those who would seek to ban them, even from places where banning them makes obvious sense.
In Georgia, for instance, they've been arguing over whether or not to allow guns in churches.
In Arizona, Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia, you can bring a gun into a bar.
And now, in Colorado, where a deranged man shot up a movie theater in July and two disaffected teenagers broke the nation's heart with a 1999 massacre at their high school, they say it's OK to bring guns into the dorm.
An armed citizenry will help deter crime, goes the "thinking." As if we were all living on the set of some old TV western.
But this is not Bonanza. This is a nation where shell casings crunch underfoot, children and the mentally ill have guns, and there have been, according to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, 60 mass shootings just since the attack on Gabrielle Giffords in 2011. You do not solve a problem of too many guns in the wrong hands with a policy of guns at all times for everybody, everywhere.
Maybe that's the message of the empty gun dorm. And that suggests pretty good judgment after all.
