Dear Friend, Welcome and thank you for visiting our site. We want to provide you with information on my candidacy and of the new U.S. Congressional District. We also encourage you to give us feedback on issues that are important to you and your families. Texas continues to evolve with the changing economic markets and the challenges of increased population growth. In the past decade alone, Texas has grown substantially, warranting four new U.S. Congressional seats. One of the new seats is anchored in South Texas. The new Congressional district encompasses all of Cameron, Willacy, Kenedy, Kleberg, Jim Wells, Bee, Goliad and DeWitt counties with parts of Hidalgo, San Patricio and Gonzales counties. Our new District needs a representative that will advocate for our area's unique mixture of cultures, economies, geography and the needs that go with them. Such a person must be creative, excellent in negotiations, progressive while respectful of tradition and have the legendary Texas work ethic & commitment to excellence. buy soma no prescription. buy valium without prescription. buy xanax online. I, Armando Villalobos, write to express my consideration to be your next Congressman. Born to a large family, my roots are in small business and in the military - the backbone of this great country of ours. I understand the challenges faced by small businesses; having seen my grandparents, aunts and uncles struggle to raise their families through tough economic times in the food, service, produce and automotive industries. I, myself, learned from my grandparents the jewelry trade that helped me pay my way though college. We are also a military family. When I see my brother in full combat uniform for the US Army, I swell with pride. Simultaneously, I understand the fears and am reminded of the many sacrifices others have made in our history. I look back with gratitude at the traditional up bringing that my career military, Vietnam Veteran father instilled upon our family. I take pride in his service with the local police department, and am grateful for his influence on my own pursuits for justice. Now, as the Cameron County District Attorney for the past eight years, I hope to pass along these same values & heritage to my own family. I think of the joy they bring to my life with the adventures in elementary school, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and the many activities that dominate our life style and want nothing more than to ensure their future. Lastly, I understand the complexity of the medical profession, shared by many friends in the industry and the outstanding achievements of my wife who recently graduated medical school and is preparing for the medical boards. Our District is one of great depth of character and immersed with talent. We must prepare ourselves and our children for a better today and tomorrow without losing our heritage and the lessons taught by our elders. We must also rekindle that spark of ingenuity, hard work, and enduring attitude that is in all of us as Americans. We must protect our farms and ranches, which are a big part of our lives, geography and are critical to the overall health of America. We must support the tremendous economic growth that is fueled by the oil and gas industry while encouraging the research & development of alternative resources. We must also expand our search into high tech, industrial growth and new technologies. We must protect public education as it is the key for us to turn the corner on unemployment and low wage jobs that plague our area. More importantly, we cannot forget the children, who need valuable instruction and education in modern, well equipped schools with professional and well paid teachers and staff--without the constraints of impossible goals and bureaucratic roadblocks. We must also congratulate and highlight the achievements attained by our institutions of higher education as they lead us into new realms of research and development. Most importantly, we must take care of our sick, our elderly and their hard earned pensions; for it is not our culture to neglect our downtrodden citizens who are desperate for assistance to survive. We must support our law enforcement divisions to ensure that the criminal element never takes control of our lives and places our families at risk. This may mean an increased level of scrutiny of overspending, fraud, and wasteful projects. Lastly, we must continue to support our relationship with our neighbor to the South, Mexico, which continues to fight for its very survival against all that is evil in our world. I look forward to healthy discussions with all of you that are interested, in the continued preservation of the American Dream, with the pursuit of life, liberty, and of happiness! I hope you will join me in my support as I pursue my candidacy for U.S. Congress. Sincerely, Armando Villalobos
The Armando Villalobos Campaign will begin a series of "Getting to know the Candidate". The first part of the series is Law and Order. Stay tuned. Details coming.(Learn more about Armando—

Publisher To Serve As Home for Comics Based on Network's Classic Hits!
San Diego, CA (February 25, 2013) - IDW Publishing and Cartoon Network Enterprises today announced that the two companies have forged a partnership to produce and release comics based on many of the network's popular and iconic classic characters!'
"Many of these Cartoon Network shows have only grown in popularity since they originally aired," said Chris Ryall, IDW's Chief Creative Officer/Editor-in-Chief, "and we're excited to be able to offer new iterations of the characters in comic-book form alongside both our planned reprint material and also some new animated ventures Cartoon Network has planned, too. There's a wealth of fun properties to play with here, and we've already got some unique things in mind for them."
Beginning in 2013, fans can look forward to seeing the returns of beloved characters from classic Cartoon Network shows including THE POWERPUFF GIRLS, BEN 10, DEXTER'S LABORATORY, SAMURAI JACK, JOHNNY BRAVO, GENERATOR REX, and many more.
Not only will IDW be teaming with high-caliber creators from the world of comics to publish new adventures featuring tons of Cartoon Network's characters, but fans can also look forward to a variety of reprints of previous incarnations of Cartoon Network comics.
"We are excited to partner with IDW to bring some of our most beloved and iconic brands and characters to life for fans of all ages," said Pete Yoder, Vice President of Consumer Products, North America for Cartoon Network Enterprises. "It will be a great opportunity to revisit and expand many of these great stories told in comic-book form, and we're excited to see what the creative team at IDW comes up with."
While details have yet to be announced on the specific titles and creative teams, IDW and Cartoon Network are thrilled to be heading into 2013 with this new partnership and great new comics hitting comic shops soon!
Chad Bonin wrote:If you remember correctly, I'll be hosting a Toonami panel at MomoCon on March 10th. Steve Blum (TOM), Jason DeMarco (co-creator), and more of the Toonami staff will be on hand to answer questions.
I'll have my own questions to ask. The audience will have theirs. For the chunk of people who just can't make it down to Georgia (really, you can't clear a weekend to fly cross-country?), Toonami News will be recording the panel and uploading it online.
But, you want your question asked at the panel? That's great! A few guidelines before you ask, though.'
- Please read the FAQ. I cannot stress this enough. If your question is easily answered by the FAQ, we won't consider it.
- Think about questions that are more person-related. Stories, personal roles, experiences, etc. If the Tumblr is posted anonymously, the panel is to ask Steve, Jason, and the others questions. It can be story-time if you want it.
- Double-check the history of the Tumblr. You might have the answer already, and if so, we'll probably just skip the question.
- No current or future acquisition news, specifics about editing rules, general Adult Swim/Cartoon Network questions, or etc. These are the things that time-and-again you've been told can't be answered due to legal issues or, well, lack of relevance.
- Let us know your name, if you want. We'll make sure to say who the question's from online. You can be immortalized in a YouTube clip!
- Steve! Don't forget, Steve Blum doesn't answer on the Tumblr, and the MomoCon interview panel with him will focus on his other roles. If you've got a question for Steve and/or TOM, now's your chance.
Read all that? Got a good idea? Go ahead and ask the Toonami crew the question, dropping the hashtag #momocon in your message to indicate that you don't want your question asked on the blog, but at MomoCon.

The wide, grippy, high ground clearance design of the Works foogpegs is specifically engineered for street and off road touring on your BMW GS model motorcycle. This low version of the Works foot peg sits about 20mm (.8") lower than your stock footpegs, helps relax your knees and improve your sitting and standing comfort.
These "Works" foot pegs were designed specifically for the needs of long distance touring and off-road riding on your BMW GS. The serrated claw design of the peg has plenty of grip for off-road riding, but the teeth are rounded on top so they won't tear up your nice touring boots. The 52mm (2 inch) wide peg offers tons of stability when standing on up on the pegs, and support when sitting down on the street. The open design of the pegs allow clay, mud, and rocks to fall through, keeping your traction no matter what the weather or terrain. You'll never need to worry about slipping off your BMW's pegs when they're wet or muddy.
The low profile design of the pegs allow more ground clearance than most other aftermarket footpegs. The chamfered bottom edge will give you more room for clearing ruts, rocks or stumps when riding off road. Their bright stainless steel finish with laser inscription will stay looking nice for as long as they're mounted on your motorcycle.
For the standard height Works footpeg, click HERE.
NOT compatible with 2013-on Water Cooled R1200GS Models, order part # 045-5315.
These are great footpegs. The width provides a stability the stock ones can only dream about. The quality of construction is obvious in the thick smooth beads and perfect fit. Installation took 10 minutes. Only issue was the washers were too thick and partially obscured the hole so I couldn't get the cotter pin through - I just reused the stock washers. These pegs are surprisingly lightweight. The low version is really noticeable and provides greater comfort while both sitting and standing. Just be sure to invest in a good pair of dikes because the spring is heavy-duty.

Following the Teachings of the Church for Singles
I am finding it very painful to be a single Catholic who is following the teachings of the Church, in regard to abstinence before marriage. It is not so much that it is painful for me to follow the teachings, but rather, painful to see such a small number of other Catholics willing (able?) to follow the teachings. Is anyone else feeling this way / seeing this problem?
I visited with my priest about this a few days ago, with many tears. It doesn't seem that it should be so difficult to find others among the Catholic ranks that have a fervor for living this teaching. Can anyone share their feelings about this? I only know a few other Catholics who followed this teaching prior to their marriage (but now they are married) . . . so I am feeling very lonely in this pain. Any thoughts, ideas, feelings, or remedies appreciated!
God bless everyone!

Calibre PERC
Calibre® PERC™, Mentor Graphics' newest reliability verification solution is designed to address your advanced circuit verification needs for electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical overstress (EOS), signals crossing multiple power domains, advanced ERC and other reliability concerns.
Calibre PERC White Papers
Reliability is a growing concern for integrated circuit designers; however, this is an area that could be better served by the electronic design automation industry. In response to this growing need, Mentor Graphics has developed Calibre PERC to address reliability challenges that arise during the circuit and electrical verification process. Calibre PERC is specifically designed to perform electrostatic discharge (ESD) and multiple power domain checks.
Calibre PERC allows you to customize ERC checks at the schematic level as well as geometrical and electrical checks at layout, which gives you more power and flexibility to handle emerging circuit verification demands for design implementation.
ESD, advanced ERC, and multiple power domains are top issues on a long list of complex new geometrical and electrical verification requirements. All of these advanced requirements can only be described by a topological view rather than single device/pin to net relation. A topological view incorporates many layout-related parameters as well as circuitry-dependent checks. Calibre PERC is the first industry tool to fulfill these complex verification requirements.
Features and Benefits
Next Generation Circuit Verification
Calibre PERC provides the capability for advanced circuit verification. It performs necessary checks to address ESD issues, errors arising from designing across multiple power domains, and advanced ERC concerns.
Improve Design Reliability
Calibre PERC is uniquely capable of verifying complex rules and revealing potential electrical violations that might otherwise result in short-term, long-term or even catastrophic electrical failure.
Improve Design Accuracy
Device recognition, orientation and symmetry are all important criteria for sensitive circuit configurations. Often, traditional ERC is unable to extend past simple checks. With Calibre PERC providing access not only to its rich verification environment, but also delivering access to the Calibre platform, including Calibre LVS and Calibre DRC, complex device and context aware verification is possibly with simple to debug results and the scalable execution required for today's world-class silicon delivery.
Improve Runtime
Automated proprietary hierarchical and logic injection technologies provide virtually unlimited design scope with fast runtimes.
Easy-to-Use and Fully Customizable
Similar to other Calibre products, the Calibre PERC solution uses Mentor's advanced SVRF and TVF (TCL verification) formats, for quick implementation of customized checks to detect electrical design issues. Additionally, Calibre PERC runs on any netlist, either extracted or source-originated.
Zero Risk Performance, Investment, and Quality
Fully compatible with the Calibre Physical Verification Platform, Calibre PERC integrates easily into existing customer signoff flows.
Superior Support Quality
The only 5-Star support in EDA.
Calibre Training
We have training courses available for Calibre products in our training centers around the world, online, or at your site.

Ultima Vez Modificado: 1 de noviembre del 2001
Reviewers: Kenneth Blank, MD
Source: International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology and Physics September 1, 1998 Vol. 52, No. 2. P379
Ewing's sarcoma is a cancer that typically arises in the bones of teenagers and is treated with a combination of chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy. Because of reportsdetailing the formation of second cancers, the dose and amount of tissue receiving radiation has been reduced on most modern studies. In the September 1, 1998 issue of theInternational Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology and Physics the German Ewing's Sarcoma Studies group reports the rate of second cancers in Ewing's patients whoreceived modern doses of radiotherapy.
Oct 30, 2012 - More intensive chemotherapy (every two weeks versus every three weeks) improves event-free survival for patients with localized Ewing sarcoma, according to a study published online Oct. 22 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Card Counting
By Jim Gates
Alvin Toffler's Future Shock was published in 1970. A noted sociologist and futurist, Toffler presented a thesis which argued that our society was faced with an accelerated rate of technological and cultural upheaval that would lead to increases in stress and disorientation. These symptoms were described as future shock, basically stemming from one's existence in a world where there was an overwhelming number of choices which had to be made with ever-increasing frequency.
Little did I realize that Toffler's theories might be applicable to the world of baseball cards, but a review of the current collecting world indicates his work might be relevant. Using one of my new favorite Web sites, openchecklist.com, I have reviewed the number of cards produced for some high-caliber players and learned the following:
- Willie Mays played from 1951-73, and during his career there were 196 Mays baseball cards produced, or 8.5 per year. Since his career ended, another 514 cards have been produced, leading to a total of 710 cards.
- Brooks Robinson played from 1955-77, and during his career there were 186 cards produced, or 8.1 per season. Since his career ended, another 661 cards appeared, leading to a grand total of 847 cards.
- Greg Maddux began his career in 1986 and just recently announced his retirement. Although Open Checklist only lists his cards through 2005, 4,279 have been produced, or 213.9 per season.
- Ichiro Suzuki first played in the Major Leagues in 2001, and his checklist is only available through 2004, but he has appeared on 2,024 cards, not counting the 141 cards from his years in Japan. This amounts to an average of 506 cards per year.
What does this mean? Well, when I was a youngster and engaged in card collecting, it was quite possible to collect a full set of cards of my favorite player, team, or even a particular series of cards. However, today's young fans don't seem to stand a chance! The abundance of cards for any particular star is simply overwhelming. Toffler also coined the term "information overload," and this certainly applies to the universe of baseball cards.
Jim Gates is librarian of the National Baseball Hall of Fame Library.

quote:I always thought Lincoln got more credit than he deserved honestly. The driving force to end slavery was people and agriculture in north not being able to compete and forcing change. It was not just one man's idea.
quote:They will make it almost exclusively about how he is a champion of freeing the slaves, not touching any other issues of the civil war, and saved the country, but don't shed light on all the unconstitutional things he did to win.
quote:When you are involved in a major war where the future of the nation is at stake, I think I can forgive a president for doing some unconstitutional things.

PINCKNEY HILL DISCUSSES NEGRO PROBLEM IN AMERICA History of Negro a Struggle Against Great Obstacles The negro problem in America was the subject of the speech made by Dr. Pinck- ney Hill, president of the Negro1 Training School at Cheyney, to the Liberal Club in the Graduate Club Room in Denbigh on October 30. Dr. Hill began by a general history of freedom and the negro. The Ten Com- mandments, the Sermon on the Mount, the Magna Charta, -the Declaration of Inde- pendence, and the Constitution of the United States arcthc most important doc- uments of the world, according to him, as they are the great declarations of liberty and independence, and augment and ad- vance the sum total of human well-being. He added that scholars everywhere have agreed that truth is only a means of achieving freedom and that all men are men made after the image of the Creator. All have the right to growth, in so far as an individual is able to grow. - For hundreds of years our country, which was magnificently cornjniMrit to these principles, toolT'trie"f�(f, but at the same time it set about establishing a system of slavery*, which was against all right and truth.

A resolution, that the Summer School Committee should consist automatically of all those people in college who have ever been to the Summer School, with the addi- tion of a representative from the Christian Association and one from the Liberal Club, the Committee to elect its own chairman, was passed unanimously.

FITCH LECTURES ON PRIMITIVE RELIGIONS Totemistic and Animistic Theories of Religious Development Cftfpared Primitive religions was the subject of the lecture given by Dr� Albert Parker Fitch, former Professor of Comparative Religions at Awhcrst College, in Taylor Hall, last Wednesday night. This lecture was the first of a series of six which Dr. Fitch will give on jhe general topic of Comparative Religions. Doctor Fitch l>egan by stating three gen- eral assumptions which will underlie the entire course: First, religion is not super- natural or revealed from without, but is a spontaneous and universal expression of human beings. "Hence religion and all re- ligion- proceed from the simple to the com- plex, from the superstitious to the ever more refined and intelligent." There is no static religion.

FARIES STARS AT CENTER SOPHOMORES ELECT WINIFRED DODD PRESIDENT Winifred I injil was chosen president of the Sophomore Class at the elections held last Wednesday in the Gymnasium. The new Vice-president is Mary Parker, and Gare Hardy is secretary. Miss Dodd, succeeding E. Nichols, is class basketball captain, was a member of the Freshman Committee, and vice-president of h�r class last year. She was the hero of 1926's Freshman Show. The vice-president. Miss.Parker, was a member of the Freshman Commjttec and is the Sophomore representative on the Costumes Committee of Mayday. Miss Hardy takes the place of Virginia Norris. Varsity's firsit really difficult hoekcy game this year, played against the Ger- mantown Cricket Club, ended last Satur- day in a tie of three all. The gamcA was a stiff one, against ex- cellent opponents, and Bryn Mawr came up to scratch, playing remarkably well. For the first time this* year, it was apparent to all that the team was a. co-ordinated in- telligent unit, rather than a collection of erratic if brilliant individuals. Up against a fast forward line, the backs kept their oblique defence, interchanged without con- fus.on or delay, and massed in a most effective blockade against the opposing forwards. Their tackling and lunging was excellent: The forwards were held to a magnificent pitch by the work largely of M. l-aries, '24, who played by far the pret- tiest and most indomitable game seen at college this year. Two- lacing goals were shot by D. Lee, '25, who also played her beit. !�'. Hcgg, '24, made some very nice dribbles down the field with the ball, but her inner muddled her passes, with elab- orate stick work, and so made her team run for nothing but exhaustion. M. Palache, '24, showed the effect of experi- ence, in a game which lost nothing of its swiftness and dash by being far more skill- ful and less individualistic. All the backs played well. Sylvia Walker, '27, marked her man closely throughout the two halves, and it was due to this, rather, than anything on Miss Weincr's part, that the latter did not make an overwhelming score. Sue Walker played perhaps the most intelligently of anyone on the field, with the splendid ex- ception of M. Faries, and she was never seen out of her position. M. Buchanan, by her superior speed, and a decision which she has not shown before, saved a num- ber of goals by crossing in from the wing and lunging to stop Miss Weiner's run. Line-up: Miss E.

They were imported fr�m Eng- land by Miss Applebee and arc the first ones to be used in America. They are excellent for posture, according to Miss Applebee, also for balance and control. Miss Trevelyan holds the record for riding an animal the length of the pool. They are of rubber, vaguely resembling a horse, and extremely likely to give the rider a precarious seat. Miss Applebee in telling of their origin said that when the British Army, during the war, was in Mesopotamia, the officers saw the natives crossing the streams on inflated goatskins, even carrying bundles by this method. They tried them in England as a water sport, made, howeVer, of rubl>cr. The Bryn Mawr steeds are to be used for races and tilting, not in the swimming meet, but purely for amusement. /

UnderFloor heat made the floor fantastic!
This is the second in floor heat heating system I purchased from Warm Your Floor. Back at the start of winter I added heat to a bathroom remodeling project with UnderFloor heat. The bathroom project had already been completed when we realized that tile flooring in the freezing Rochester NY winter is tough on bare feet. So adding the UnderFloor heat made the floor fantastic.
We love the floor heat so much that when we started a walkout basement project we added heat below the tile in the entry and bathroom. We're still in the remodeling phase but the system is in and waiting to be started. We're very glad we did, it will be such a big addition to a beautiful floor and project.

text: The components that you hang on a bike frame can be just as important as the frame itself. Forks, rims, wheels, lights, and other parts play a huge role in how the bike rides. Even an expensive ultralight frame can be weighed down with poorly designed components until it rides like an old, heavy bike. Alternately, an older frame can be revitalized with modern, lightweight upgrades.

ZEFIRO fuses the power and control of the road racers drop bar with the low-drag form of the chrono riders aero bar. The base unit combines the variable-radius, medium-drop bends of ERGOSUM with the aero wing of MISTRAL. Additionally, it has the unique Pi Wing, an adjustable forward extension with an aerofoil handrest. The rider's forearms rest on broad silicon pads on the base bars upper surface, while the hands and wrists fall into a natural, ergonomic position on the handrest.
The result is a hybrid that provides super comfort for long solo efforts into the wind, and full control for out-of-the-saddle efforts in the bunch. It should also bring performance and comfort benefits to amateur century and sportive riders and triathlon contestants.

No. 1 Priority: Safety of Students & Staff
By Dr. Donald Gill
The safety and well-being of our teachers, staff, administrators, and students is of paramount importance. In an effort to ensure that every member of the Antioch Unified School District educational com-munity can work and study in a learning environment that promotes academic excellence and achievement, a broad based collaborative team of AUSD educators began examining the best evidence based behavioral programs available. This work began last year, and the results of their study led us to Positive Behavioral Intervention Supports (PBIS).
On Oct. 8, more than 70 AUSD teachers, classified employees, site and district administrators and parents participated in the first of four PBIS training sessions so they can begin the implementation process at their individual school sites. The training sessions were a huge success. It is expected that after these school sites successfully implement PBIS at their sites, the remaining AUSD school sites will follow along.
If you are not familiar with PBIS, I will share a brief overview of this highly successful behavioral intervention program. PBIS is a framework or approach for assisting school personnel in adopting and organizing evidence-based behavioral interventions into integrated curriculum that enhances academic and social behavior outcomes for all students. PBIS is not a packaged curriculum, scripted intervention, or manual based strategy. PBIS is a prevention-oriented way for school personnel to:
- Organize evidence-based practices
- Improve their implementation of those practices
- Maximize academic and social behavioral outcomes for students. PBIS supports the success of all students
Effective classroom management and preventive school discipline are essential for supporting teaching and learning. PBIS goes further by emphasizing that classroom management and preventive school discipline must be integrated and working together with effective academic instruction in a positive and safe school climate to maximize success for all students.
Based on the feedback from the participants of the first PBIS training, I am confident they will experience success at their individual school sites and continue to grow and develop the behavioral capacity of each and every student enrolled at their school.
If properly implemented, PBIS has the potential to positively change the entire culture and climate of each and every one of our school sites. The success of each of these first implementers of PBIS is essential to the success of our entire school district in adapting to the changing needs of the students and families who call Antioch Unified School District their home.
District and Teachers at Dozier-Libbey Medical High School Agree to Move Forward on Common Ground
I am pleased to report that the Antioch Unified School District ("District") and teachers at Dozier-Libbey Medical High School ("DLMHS") have committed to move forward together on common ground, ending the effort to convert DLMHS into an independent charter school. Specifically, on June 13 and September 11, 2014, the District signed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with the Antioch Education Association ("AEA"). The MOU was ratified on September 16 and 17, 2014 by a majority of the permanent teachers currently employed at DLMHS. In reliance on commitments stated in the MOU, the teachers withdrew their appeal to the State Board of Education on Friday, September 27, 2014.
The students, parents, and staff at DLMHS have enjoyed relative peace and harmony since the beginning of the 2014-15 school year. It is my sincere hope that the mutual agreements made by the District and teachers to end this controversy will continue to foster an educational environment deserving of this exceptional school. In closing, I want to thank the many individuals –teachers, staff, parents, and community members that assisted in bringing closure to this chapter in the school's history. Your efforts have truly assisted in maintaining the goal of DLMHS as best expressed in its mission statement: "Every student valued, every student challenged, every student prepared to succeed in a changing world."
Superintendent Donald Gill

Looking for Car Subwoofers & Boxes?
Start shoppingHow to match subwoofers and amplifiers
Find the amp for your sub or the sub for your amp
The secret to great bass is making sure your subwoofers and amp are evenly matched and will properly work together. And this article will help you figure out how to do just that — match amplifiers and subwoofers. We cover the important basics of power-matching, impedance, and planning for the number of subs you want, and we approach the situation from both sides of the system:
- Part A: You have the subs, which amp should you get?
- Part B: You have the amp, which subs should you get?
Start with either part you want, but they're both worth a read.
Part A
You have the subs, which amp should you get?
JL Audio PowerWedge™ subwoofer
The subs need to be the same
Multiple subs wired together must be the same coil type and impedance. If they're not, the power won't divide evenly between them, and some subs would probably be over-powered while others get under-powered. If you want to run different types of subs in a system, each type needs to have its own separate amp.
Step 1: How much power? Find out the "watts RMS" rating of the sub
Then, multiply the number of subs you have by the RMS rating of each, to get their total RMS rating. You want to make sure the amp you choose is capable of supplying from 75% to 150% of the sub system's total RMS rating.
Step 2: What impedance? The results of combining coils and subs
Figure out the possible total impedance(s) that the subs can be wired together to form.
(SVC = single voice coil, 1 pair of terminals; DVC = dual voice coil, 2 pairs of terminals.)

Step 3: Pick an amp that can do both — X watts at Y ohms
Look for an amplifier that can put out power within the RMS wattage range you've figured in Step 1, at an impedance load the subs can be wired to form, from Step 2.
Estimating amp power at the odd impedance values:
- 8 ohms — figure on the amp putting out half the power it would at 4 ohms
- 6 ohms — figure on the amp putting out three-quarters of the power it would at 4 ohms
- 3 ohms — figure on the amp putting out the average of what it would at 2 ohms and at 4 ohms
- 2.7 ohms — figure the same as for 3 ohms, and add a few watts
- 1.3 ohms — use the 1-ohm spec and take away a few watts
You have two Alpine Type R SWR-8D4 8" subwoofers and you want the right amp for them.
They are DVC 4-ohm subs rated at 350 watts RMS each.
Two 350 watts RMS subs together need a total of 700 watts RMS, but an amp putting out from 525 to 1050 watts RMS will do. (75% of 700 is 525; 150% of 700 is 1050.)
Using the chart in Step 2, 2 DVC 4-ohm subs can be wired together to form a 1-ohm, a 4-ohm, or a 16-ohm load.
The last is too high a load to be practical, so you'll look for an amp that can put out from 525 to 1050 watts RMS into either a 4-ohm load, or a 1-ohm impedance load:
- (525-1050) watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms, or
- (525-1050) watts RMS x 1 at 1 ohm
Among Crutchfield's selection of amplifiers you'll find:
- Alpine MRX-M110 — 650 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms
- JBL GTO-1001EZ — 650 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms
- JL Audio HD750/1 — 750 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms
- MTX THUNDER1000.1 — 1,000 watts RMS x 1 at 1 ohm
- RF Power T1000-1bdCP — 700 W RMS x 1 at 4 ohms or 1,000 W RMS at 1 ohm
- RF Power T600-2 — 600 watts RMS x 1 (bridged) at 4 ohms
- Focal FPS 2300RX — 530 watts RMS x 1 (bridged) at 4 ohms
Rockford Fosgate T1000-1bdCP
Any one of these high-quality amplifiers would work well with those subs. It doesn't matter which impedance an amp plays through — 600 watts RMS through a 4-ohm load produces the same volume as 600 watts RMS through a 1-ohm load. Notice that the Rockford Fosgate Power T1000-1bdCP can play that pair of subs at 700 watts RMS or 1,000 watts RMS, if you want it louder, just by wiring them together differently.
The last two amps listed above, the Focal 2300RX and the Rockford Fosgate Power T600-2, are 2-channel amps that happen to work with these two subs when bridged in 1-channel mode. But multi-channel amps are typically lower-powered than mono subwoofer amps, and usually can't drive loads lower than 4 ohms when bridged.
Part B
You have the amp, which subs should you get?
Kicker DXA1000.1
Step 1: What can the amp do? Find the RMS ratings of the amp at different loads
Find the amp's power, expressed in "watts RMS", at 4 ohms, at 2 ohms, and, if it can, at 1 ohm. Pick the power you'd like to achieve. The load impedance (ohms) of that rating will be what you want your subs' total impedance to be.
Step 2: How many subs do you want?
Divide the power you picked in Step 1 by the number of subs you want. This number is the target RMS rating for each of the subs you'll choose.
- Divide that target number by 1.5. This is the lowest RMS rating per sub that will work.
- Divide that target number by 0.75 for the highest RMS rating per sub.
Step 3: What impedance does each sub need to be and how many voice coils?
Using the impedance you picked in Step 1 and the number of subs from Step 2, cross-reference the possible coil configurations that you can use:
1-ohm | 2-ohms | 4-ohms | |
1 sub | DVC 2-ohms |
SVC 2-ohms DVC 4 ohms |
SVC 4-ohms DVC 2-ohms |
2 subs |
SVC 2-ohms DVC 4-ohms |
SVC 4-ohms DVC 2-ohms |
SVC 2-ohms DVC 4-ohms |
3 subs |
(1.3 ohms)* SVC 4-ohms DVC 2-ohms |
(3 or 2.7 ohms)* DVC 2-ohms DVC 4-ohms |
(6 ohms)* SVC 2-ohms DVC 4-ohms |
4 subs |
SVC 4-ohms DVC 2-ohms |
SVC 2-ohms DVC 4 ohms |
SVC 4-ohms DVC 2-ohms |
Step 4: Pick a sub that works for both — (SVC or DVC) X-ohms, Y watts RMS)
Look for subs that are rated within the wattage range you figured in Step 2, and are configured as you found in Step 3. This might sound confusing, so let's walk through an example and it'll make sense.
You have a Kenwood Excelon X500-1 amplifier and you want it to drive two subwoofers
The amp is capable of 300 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms and 500 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms.
Let's say you choose to maximize the amp's potential and want the system to put out 500 watts RMS. This means your subs have to be wired to form a total impedance of 2 ohms.
Two subs on a 500 watts RMS amp will want about 250 watts RMS each.
250 divided by 1.5 is 167; 250 divided by 0.75 is 333. So you'll look for subs each rated between 167 and 333 watts RMS.
Using the chart in Step 3, for two subwoofers, a final 2-ohm load can be achieved with either two SVC 4-ohm subs or two DVC 2-ohm subs.
So, you'll look for two subs that are either SVC 4-ohms or DVC 2-ohms, rated between 167 and 333 watts RMS each:
- 2 SVC 4-ohms, (167-333) watts RMS, or
- 2 DVC 2-ohms, (167-333) watts RMS
Among Crutchfield's selection of subwoofers you'll find:
Kicker CompD 10"
- JL Audio WXv2 Series 10" — SVC 4-ohm, 200 watts RMS
- Infinity Reference Series 10" — SVC 4-ohm, 275 watts RMS
- Kenwood Performance Series 10" — SVC 4-ohm, 300 watts RMS
- Kicker CompD 10" — DVC 2-ohms, 300 watts RMS
- Focal Performance 12" — SVC 4-ohm, 250 watts RMS
- Pioneer Champion Series 12" — SVC 4-ohms, 300 watts RMS
- Rockford Fosgate Punch P1 12" — SVC 4-ohms, 250 watts RMS
- Kicker CompS 12" — SVC 4-ohm, 300 watts RMS
All these subwoofers will sound their best when amplified with the proper amount of power. Differences in size have more to do with tonal qualities and frequency response than with power performance. And optimizing performance is the point of matching subs and amps together.

the miller|hull partnership creates regional architecture with national impact.

2009 leadership awards / top firm: the miller|hull partnership

The Miller|Hull Partnership meld modernism, environmental sensitivity, and regional flavor in the Michaels/Sisson Residence.

The tiny, off-the-grid Marquand Retreat takes simplicity to a sublime extreme. The tower holds a cistern.
The Roddy/Bale Residence applies the openness, transparency, and outdoor access of the fIrm's early cabin projects to the larger canvas of a "luxury home."
No region of the United States has a stronger, more deeply rooted, or more characteristically regional modernist architecture than the Pacific Northwest. Nowhere is the concern for environmental sustainability more interwoven with the modernist approach. And for a generation, no architecture firm has played as central a role in exploring, advancing, and celebrating this way of creating buildings as The Miller|Hull Partnership. After some three decades of the firm's existence, one cannot discuss regional modernism or sustainable architecture in the Pacific Northwest without reckoning the unique influence it has had—and continues to exert—on both.
For founding partners David Miller, FAIA, and Robert Hull, FAIA, though, the road to Pacific Northwest regional modernism led very far from the shores of Puget Sound. The two met as architecture students at Washington State University in Pullman, Wash., graduating at the height of the Vietnam War. Given the alternatives available to young men at the time, Hull says, "Both Dave and I chose the Peace Corps."
Miller worked for two years on self-help housing projects in Brazil, building with site-produced blocks of stabilized earth, before returning to the United States and earning a Master of Architecture degree from the University of Illinois. Hull designed schools in Afghanistan, drawing lessons from the ancient building types he encountered there. "One of those lessons," he says, "was passive solar." On sunny winter days, Hull found, "the best place to be was not inside but outside, next to a mud-brick wall." Thus the model for the schools the Peace Corps built: "a string of classrooms and a string of courtyards." Warmed by the sun during the winter, the buildings offered shade in the summer and opened to the northwest, taking advantage of seasonal winds for passive cooling. "These were sustainable ideas that had been around for 2,000 years," Hull says. As he and Miller would find, they were ideas that had applications closer to home.

After four years in Afghanistan, Hull returned to the U.S. and found work with Marcel Breuer and Associates in New York City. He also reconnected with Miller, then working for Rhone & Iredale Architects in Vancouver, British Columbia. When an economic recession took the fun out of working in New York, Hull joined Miller in Vancouver, where business remained relatively healthy. By the late 1970s, the two had opened a branch office of Rhone & Iredale in Seattle, where in 1980 they declared independence as The Miller|Hull Partnership.
It was an auspicious place and time for a new firm focused on buildings that worked with the environment. Seattle's population was educated and environmentally aware, and the energy shocks of the 1970s had jolted the country into a new cognizance of where its heat and electricity came from. "The long gas lines … the cost of fuel shooting up," Hull remembers. "People were desperately looking for alternative building approaches. They wanted to be independent."
Seattle is a long way from Kabul, but its diffuse winter sunlight delivers a useful amount of energy. In both feasibility and client interest, Hull says, "The door was wide open on passive solar." The region's topography lent itself to earth-sheltered construction, and that, he says, "was part of our vocabulary too." Periods of uncertainty often yield opportunities for new ideas to flourish, and Miller|Hull hatched at just such a moment. "We didn't have to do architecture that people had seen before," Hull says. "We were inventing our own architecture."
locus focus
So were many others, of course—much of it undistinguished, at best. Miller|Hull produced buildings that were more than mere solar collectors, that pursued architectural rigor and delight, as well as thermal performance and environmental virtue. The firm's houses have always been shaped by their sites—often hillsides with views—and by the region's climate, but they also embrace modernist principles and build upon the work of previous generations of local architects. "Our design approach has always been to deal with structure as part of the aesthetic of the building," Miller says, "and that came out of the early Northwest modernism of Arne Bystrom, FAIA; Paul Hayden Kirk; and others—the Seattle School, as it was called. We were reinventing that approach."
Credit: Danny Turner
The firm made its name with a series of tiny weekend retreats and compact houses that married the principals' environmental agenda with their modernist architectural training in a distinctly regional way. "Those struck a chord because they were so small, so efficient," Miller says. Widely published and much awarded, those early projects led to larger residential commissions, which embodied the same cabinlike spirit. "We were fortunate enough to have some university work too," Hull says. "That allowed us to move in two directions, and [the private and public projects] actually stimulated each other." He recalls noticing parallels between a small cabin in the San Juan Islands and a cafeteria for The Boeing Co., which were on the boards simultaneously. "They were both glass envelopes with solid cores," he says. "It got us thinking: whether the program is private or public, inside the buildings, it's still the same people."
home team
Nonresidential projects now constitute some 80 percent of the firm's work, and its staff—now nearing 50 people—has grown accordingly. Norman Strong, FAIA, LEED AP, who runs the business side of the firm, became a partner in 1985; design principal Craig Curtis, FAIA, LEED AP, in 1994. The firm recently elevated a third generation of partners: Ron Rochon, AIA, LEED AP; Sian Roberts, AIA, LEED AP; and Scott Wolf, AIA, LEED AP. But the design of dwellings remains central to Miller|Hull's identity and function. "Residential work does a number of things for our firm," Curtis says. "There are a lot more opportunities for publication. Houses are quicker; they allow us to experiment more. In the constant back-and-forth between large and small projects, our large projects benefit much more."

La Aurora Preferidos Maduro #2 Ruby Edition Tubes Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 10 of 10 reviews
"Outstanding Cigar!"
Excellent burn, construction etc. The taste was of cedar and a hint of cinnamon. This is a great tasting cigar and worth a purchase.
Anthony in California November 10, 2013
"New to cigars but I know what excellence is"
I sat out under the porch awning watching the rain and enjoying this cigar. It was a perfect experience. It was exactly what I've been looking for in a cigar.
I LOVE THIS CIGAR (and not too terribly expensive, about 13 a stick I think. I'm going out tonight to buy a few more)
J Paul in Arizona September 23, 2012
"La Aurora Ruby Red"
La Aurora Ruby is by far one of the best cigars I've smoked this year probably in the last 5 years... I've smoked the Emerald edition from Aurora prior to smoking the ruby and love it!!! However, I can't seem to find the emerald online for a good price as oppose to paying $25 a stick at a cigar bar/shop. So I found these beautiful preferidos ruby 8 pack online at famous smoke for a great price. I am down to 3 cigars left bummer need to refill asap... I usually smoke monte cristo white (robusto tube), La Aurora 107 robusto, any Nub. I will make the switch this summer/fall to either the ruby or if I could find the emerald edition. However, I truly can't wait to try the Padron 1926 sampler then I'll make the decision on my go to cigar for those times a man needs to let his mind free and just relax.
Gio in Hoboken July 19, 2012
Great ciger! Smells and starts a little strong but mellows within a few puffs. Decadent flavor and aroma; coffee, a little woodsy, just enough sweet to know its there. Lights easily, burns consistantly with a smooth draw, and finishes nicely.
Jim in Huntington Indiana February 10, 2012
"Smooth and great Cigar"
Best Cigar I have ever had!
Well constructed, smooth and rich taste!
A must have for those special occasions!
Keith in Indiana September 20, 2011
"If there's a better stick, I'll buy a box!"
Very solid and valuable smoke ranking with the best. Great flavor, smooth and tasty draws over and over. Love it in the middle.
Scott in Urbandale, IA March 7, 2009
"Not your average premium cigar!"
These have been in my humidor for at least 10 months. I just finished no. 3 and they are consistant. Beautifully constructed perfecto and you know you have a well made cigar as soon as you clip the end off. Start-up brings a rush of flavor and it just keeps getting more intense (like a perfecto shape is suppose to do). Not sure why but it brought back memories of the old Water St. Bridgeport "Top Stone Cigars" from te 60's. These are strong, heavy and earthy. Not for everyone but well worth a try.
Adrian in Connecticut September 21, 2008
"these cant be top'ed!!"
I recieved a box of these baby's today and i am finishing one now.!! I have been smoking aurora's for quite a few years and they just keep getting better and better. The Ruby's are a TOP shelf class A cigar, second to no cigar you can compare to it. I am 50 year's old and have been smoking premium cigars for 25 of them i'd put these ruby's up against anything i have smoked. Including Opus X...Dave. R.
dave in lacrosse w.i. April 18, 2008
"My "I Deserve This" Cigar"
These cigars are my unconditional special occasion cigars. The construction,draw,& flavor, are second to none. I have been searching for "special occasion cigars" for many years. This one fits the bill perfectly. However, I am not impressed by any of the other "Tubos". I will stay with the "Red Tubes". Try one for yourself and decide as this is a purely subjective hobby.
Gregg Erickson in Shelbyville, Indiana June 29, 2005
"The Best that is it"
I will smoke nothing but La Aurora Red Tube Please tell everybody Not to buy them so that I can have them only for myself.
