CLEVELAND -- Coco Crisp received a scheduled day off on Wednesday, lending manager Bob Melvin the chance to play Ryan Sweeney, who could potentially start again on Thursday in one of the corner outfield spots.
"I was thinking about giving Coco a day off in New York, and then he went 4-for-4 that night, so he changed my mind," Melvin said, smiling.
But Crisp had collected just eight hits combined in the other 15 games he started after missing six contests with a strained right calf. He also hasn't stolen a base since the injury, but still ranks second in the American League with a career-high 37 for the season.
Sweeney entered Wednesday facing similar struggles, though his can be linked to inconsistent playing time. He came into Wednesday's contest with just 45 at-bats in the month of August, over which he tallied nine hits.
Still, Melvin believes that, given the right circumstances, Sweeney "does have the ability to be an everyday player."
"When you bring in Crisp, [Josh] Willingham, [Hideki] Matsui and [David] DeJesus, I think he knew going into the season that the role would be different for him this year," Melvin said. "The difficult part is you accept the fact that you're not an everyday player, and consider yourself a role player. But you still have aspirations to be an everyday player. That's difficult, so this has been a tough year for him."
Blevins recalled, Fuentes on bereavement list
CLEVELAND -- Lefty Jerry Blevins joined the A's again on Wednesday for what he and the club hope will be the sixth and final time.
"You can't promise anything to anybody about that, but I would say there's a good chance," manager Bob Melvin said. "I'd like to see that. Things can transpire to where sometimes it just doesn't happen, but I think everybody would like to see that happen."
Blevins, who has gone back and forth between Triple-A and Oakland this season, was brought aboard for the team's third game in Cleveland to take the active roster spot of Brian Fuentes, who was placed on the bereavement list.
It is unclear when Fuentes will return to the team.
It marks Blevins' sixth stint of the year with the A's, who are likely inclined to keep him around for the final month as rosters will officially expand on Thursday.
The left-handed reliever has been called up twice already on the club's current 10-game road trip. He joined the club Friday in Boston and allowed one run on four hits, spanning a combined three innings in two appearances against the Red Sox. He was then sent down between games of a doubleheader on Saturday.
"You obviously want to reward a guy that's taken several bullets for the team," Melvin said. "There have been several times where he probably went out for a second inning thinking, 'I'm the length guy, and I'm going out with a move to make tomorrow, and I'm going to be the guy.' He's had to persevere through a tough season."
Blevins provided the A's with two perfect innings on Wednesday night, striking out three.
Fuentes, who has a 1.59 ERA over his past 22 appearances after posting a 5.09 ERA in his first 38, is eligible to be reinstated on Saturday.

Amarillo, TX - The Texas Water Development Board just released a report showing water levels on all but one of the 26 wells in the Ogallala Aquifer dropped considerably during 2010 to 2011.
The average drop was 3.5 feet and one well went dry about 18 months ago.
To understand what the drop really means, a well in Hansford County contained water at around 70 feet deep in 1950.
Now pumpers hit water at 150 feet.
The figures from 2011 to 2012 are expected to be gloomy as well, with a continuing downward trend but at a less rapid rate.

Good pressing pat. I don't like to waste my time or energy on too many warm up sets either. I like to find what my working sets will be an then warm up my joints with more reps and a lighter weight and then progress to my working sets with no more than triples.
...shit. I totally forgot you were doing 5/3/1.... I suck. Yeah that all makes sense now.

Nice benching, I never surprise myself on bench so good for you. I am the same way on warm-ups, I know some people just need to warm up forever but a couple sets of 5 usually does it for me.
Gotcha Rob. I definitely will need to tweak it soon though. I keep surprising myself..lol
Thanks for the read guys. I'm definitely changing the warmup structure. Outdid my expectation again today.
5/3/1 Week 2, Day 4

Surprised myself with 220. I had a few more in the tank but my depth was borderline illegal so I called it quits. Reps felt good though, despite coming off 10 straight days in my cubicle.
Box squats are just wearing me out. The reps are easy but the fatigue is ridiculous. I guess superset with GHR is part of that. Speaking of GHR, I worked on my form and they are MUCH more difficult. Sadly, I'm still not doing them perfectly.
Shut it down with 2 sets of assistance work left. Got softball tonight and the 5K in the morning. I won't win the race but they're raffling off a TV and a Garmin watch. I won top prize at a race raffle a couple years ago. It was a glass pumpkin..LOL

Your selling yourself short on your absolute strength at the moment in my opinion Pat, alter those numbers and start working with the heavier weight your capable of.
I will. I decided this morning to recalculate for next cycle instead of a marginal increase. I have deload next week then the new cycle starts so I'll get something more suitable going. When I set everything up I honestly didn't think I would put up those kind of sets. I think my excessive warm ups this past year may have been hindering me more than I thought. Thanks for lookin out.

I'll go against the grain and say hold fast. Strength is a marathon, not a sprint. You need to give yourself the ability to run these month long cycles over and over. I'd say run no less than 6 cycles worth. Even using the smallish jump Wendler recommends, you're looking at a 30lbs jump on your bench and press and 60lbs for your dead and squat in 6 months of training. That's phenomenal work. Stick with it man.
Fuck, fight, or hold the light.
Solid squats man. I'd have to agree on not making too big of a jump on 5/3/1.
Thanks for the input fellas. I forgot I've got one more week before deload anyway. I think I will let it go as planned. I have to keep in mind there's no place for impatience in this plan, that's for sure.
5K was a wash today. Literally. It pissed down the rain the whole time. They had a delay then brought us to the start line, then a "5 minutes to start" warning, which turned into another 15-20 minutes waiting for them to get volunteers (bless those people) in place. I was soaked through by the time they fired the pistol, and be the end of the race I was water logged down to my shoes. Worst. Run. Ever. The last half mile was a total downpour and high wind. I even had a leaf hit me in the face. I've never walked in a race but I was dying to about 1/3 of the way in. Running in rain like that affected my breathing. It was like getting water boarded..lol. I was struggling to get a good breath. Blah blah blah.. 30:20. 👎
Pics of a loser.

Solid work Pat, keep at it. That's a lot of power cleans.
Back extensions like hypers on a 45º or a ghd, or on the ground?

Yeah Paul, they wear me out but I love to do them. But, I need something high volume as my accessory work. The lighter sets of 10 were REALLY shitty though.
Rob - On the GHD. That pad really kills my quads. I'm experimenting with the length and height. I think I can find a happy medium somewhere.
2 mile run. Took about 18 minutes.

Pretty good session. 170 x 10 was a total grinder. The last 4 reps were slooooow and rep 10 was just sheer willpower..lol
Tweaked my Achilles yesterday. Felt tight but almost normal this morning. If we can scrounge up a full team I'll have softball tomorrow so hopefully it feels ok. A friend of mine ruptured his Achilles back in July so I'm a bit paranoid. He told me yesterday they told him it was like sewing two mop heads together. Sounds great, no?

Whenever I bench for high vol on the last set, I always get paranoid cuz I train (generally) alone. Do you have someone to catch just incase?

I have a power rack and the safety bar setting I use is perfect. It allows me to bring it to the chest but if I bring it a few inches toward my neck I'm low enough under the pins that I can slide out from under it. I usually know when I won't get the next rep so I've only had to set it down 3 or 4 times ever. I've also been rotating the shoulder to tuck my elbows in per Kelly Starrett and it's made me much less shaky on the slow reps.

Softball later, hopefully.
Next week is deload. On squats, my 1RM ever is 280. Because I hadnt done it in a while I called it 275, and set my training max (90%) at 245. So I repped 235 x 8 today. I had a couple more in the tank but I was getting low on oxygen and didnt wanna pass out..LOL Still, my calculated 1RM is almost 300. I don't intend to try it anytime soon but that's still a nice feeling.

Didn't you just go on vacation? I'm jealous. I am not jealous of your softball team though, haha.
LOL. Our softball team BLOWS. It's still fun but we might work a little harder to find some players outside of our company bext time.
Yeah we did two in June and another in August..lol. We try to do a regular vacation and a couple long weekends every year. My wife is a teacher so we end up doing a lot of stuff in the summer since I'm the only one who has to take vacation days. She's good at finding deals too.

Hello. So, I made a 24 x 36 title block with attributes and saved it as a wblock. However, I get two problems.
1) When I inserted the title block into a 24 x 36 paper space, The titleblock does not fit. and the texts are messed up as well. The text are in in their respective places. What I did to create the title block is to basically created a title block border and then created the text. So, I made a block out of the borders and then a block out of the text then I made a block out of the whole thing (text and border). After i saved it as a wblock. When saving as wblock i chose entire drawing and once i chose object. So, maybe this entire process is wrong?
2) When I try to test plotting with this title block i made (even though it does not fit in) it does not show up in print preview. not sure what to do. Please help.
Also, How do I make some of the text Bold and others not? but keep them all same style?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Usually when something won't print it means the objects are on a non-plot layer, either defpoints or another layer with the plotting turned off. Check that your titleblock objects are on a layer set to plot and the block of the tb is on a plotting layer as well.
You may need to post your tb here to make it much easier for others to trouble shoot for you.
For #2, another possible reason for it not to preview or plot is that the plot area is not set correctly.
For your last question, if you create the text with MTEXT (rather than TEXT), you can assign a single text style and then (depending on the font) you can selectively over-ride certain properties (like bold, underline, italic, color, etc.).
OK. I will upload the title block that I Created.
Warning! Educational product.
I suspect the block not fitting has to do with units conflict (mm vs. inch) between the block (wblock) and the current drawing (the one you are inserting it into).
The issue with the text (attributes) is probably related to using the 'Standard" text style. The style is defined one way in the drawing where you developed the blocks and another way in the drawing you are inserting it into. When inserting one drawing into another, the current drawing's definitions prevail. You can avoid this by not using the "Standard" styles; instead create and apply unique text styles in the blocks.
You've also created what appears to be an unnecessary block definition (or two). The block named "TITLE BLOCK BLOCK" just adds another level of "blockness" to the drawing file, requiring two block explosions to get to the attributes in the "TITLE BLOCK" block. I assume what you ultimately want after inserting this drawing into another (and exploding it) is just the border (TITLE BLOCK BORDER) and the block containing the text and attributes (TITLE BLOCK). If so, all you need in the final "wblocked" drawing is an insert of each of those block definitions. (I suppose if you are using something like DesignCenter or a block insertion tool, then having these blocks defined might be helpful.) You might also consider combining the border and the title block with the text and attributes into one block.
The "entire process" is certainly not wrong. It just needs some refining.
Are you making a metric tb or an imperial tb? It measures to approximately a metric A1 sheet. But you need to allow for 2 or 3 cm all around for plotters, most won't print or bleed to the edge.
The drawing may not show in a preview because you didn't specify a plotter or printer, so there was nothing to preview.
Do not use text style name of standard, create your own name(s) and assign your fonts to those styles.
You don't need "What is the" in front of the attributes, just Project Number, Date, Name, etc.
Don't make a block inside the tb drawing. Get your border lines and attributes and other text the way you want them (in Modelspace) and save the file. Then insert that file in Paper Space when you want the tb in a drawing.
If you create a template file then you can insert the file into the template and use that for any new drawings.
One last thing, you don't create a wblock, that is a command that creates a .dwg file.


text: Bengals cornerback Adam Jones, questionable with an abdominal, will play on Sunday but it's unknown for how much -- or if he'll even be on the punt return team as Cincinnati's most dynamic runner. This may be the reason that Cincinnati activated wide receiver Dane Sanzenbacher for the first time this year, giving the team a punt returner to replace Jones, who will be limited to defense. Also active are the team's most recent additions in cornerbacks Curtis Marsh and Chris Lewis-Harris.

One of the benefits of being a woman is a keen sense of intuition. However, when it comes to dating, is it okay to rely on your gut instinct about a man, even if your sense is he's not relationship material after talking to him for under an hour? In this video, Dating Coach, Matchmaker and YourTango Expert Jasbina Ahluwalia says that in order to determine whether you're too quick to judge the guys you date, you should consider three things. Is Past Dating Experience Relevant?
First, how well do you think a guy knows you after a first date? After all, really getting to know someone takes time. Second, Jasbina says, "instant chemistry is not always the best indication of long term compatibility." Want to know the third thing Jasbina wants you to think about? Check out the video and find out.

Cuomo pushes for local gov't restructuring board
Apr 26, 2013 — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he hopes to soon create a statewide board to help fiscally strapped local governments restructure.
Cuomo says he'll soon create a special government restructuring board that can work with local governments in financial crisis to help cut costs and perhaps share services or merge with other governments. He says many municipalities have been "unable to pay their bills for a long period of time", and more state aid won't change that.
"Our solution has been, we come up with an annual subsidy to get the city from one year to the next," Cuomo said. "But that just kicks the can down the road."
Local governments, in particular upstate cities, have been squeezed by a property tax cap that limits revenues, declining population, and high costs for benefits for workers. Cuomo says the binding arbitration law that governs portions of union contracts is due to expire this year, and he hopes that can provide another opportunity for cities and other local governments to save money.

The Ravens signed veteran CB Travis Fisher on Monday. Fisher, who played for Seattle last season, participated in the club's latest minicamp in May.
Fisher, 30, has 74 career starts in eight NFL seasons. He will compete for a reserve role with the Ravens, who were looking to bolster their CB depth with CBs Fabian Washington and Lardarius Webb coming off season-ending knee injuries.
Fisher played in four games for Seattle last season. He previously played for Detroit (2002-06) and St. Louis (2007-08).
The Ravens also signed undrafted free-agent S Brad Jones, who played collegiately at Cincinnati.

When I was in high school, back in St. Louis, Anacrusis was the best local band on the scene, bar none. They are, and were, true musicians, a cut above the rest. In 1993, just before they released Screams and Whispers, I ran into a couple of the band members at a local record store. They told me about their upcoming album and I told them how much of a fan I was. They gave me an advance demo copy of Screams and Whispers on cassette, on the condition that I promise to buy the CD when it came out!!! Imagine my excitement!!! I readily agreed!!! When the CD came out, I faithfully purchased it (which I would have done anyway). Shortly thereafter, I saw them perform that album live at Mississippi Nights in St. Louis. They rocked that place better than anyone before or since. All I can say now is this: if the members of Anacrusis are reading this, I want to thank you for being the great musicians that you are. Whatever you do, continue to make your music. The world will be better for it. To everyone else out there, buy these CDs and you will be glad you did.
Anacrusis Biography - Anacrusis Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
The glory days of the great power trios are faithfully re-visited as Inside Out Music proudly submits the sophomore release by the mighty Jelly Jam. Jelly Jam features the almost other-worldly musical talents of Ty Tabor (King's X) on guitar and lead-vocals, John Myung (Dream Theater) on bass, and Rod Morgenstein (The Dixie Dregs) on Drums. The (power) trio format gives these uniquely gifted musicians the freedom and space to stretch out and really show what they're capable of doing, but never at the expense of their listeners. Huge and catchy guitar riffs are driven by a thunderously, tight rhythm section within song structures that swing from surgical precision to free-form instrumental jams. Ty's vocal skills and knack for melody are also on display in abundance. The Jelly Jam will be playing showcase dates in support of the release (details TBD) This release will have direct appeal to the formidable fan bases of Dream Theater and King's X.

You just had to dig way beneath the surface. These guys are wicked fast. They have that thin guitar sound some people dislike… it's not as chunky and bassy as some bands, but they have a more progressive sound. It's still quite heavy, in fact the bass is allowed greater prominence by thinning out the guitar sound, which still has a sharp edge to it. They are also articulate and at ease with changing tempos within their songs. Cool live shows, too, as I remember from way back in 1991.
Progression and technical proficiency have long been an important part of extreme music, but you usually tend to find those elements in death metal bands like Cynic, Atheist, Alchemist, and of course Death. In the thrash metal arena, Anacrusis was the most innovative band in terms of taking the straightforward thrash sound and fusing it with technical virtuosity and musical/vocal experimentalism, creating a complex and engaging variation of thrash metal that set them apart from the rest of the genre's mainstays.
Released in 1991, Manic Impressions was the band's third album, and is arguably their most technical work. The intricate riffwork, innovative bass lines, and otherworldly vocals all add up to an utterly unique thrash metal album. I'll grant that it does come across as cold and clinical, but there is a level of emotion to the album, however bleak it may be. And most importantly, the band never lets their technical prowess get in the way of writing actual songs, like some other over the top technical acts tend to do. I prefer the more moving Screams and Whispers (hence the 4-star rating), but Manic Impressions is still an awe-inspiring technical metal album.
I highly recommend Anacrusis to all thrash and/or progressive metal fans. If you're into old school bands like Testament, (old) Metallica, Watchtower, Cynic, Atheist, Believer, Alchemist and Death, or even newer bands like Spiral Architect, Mercenary and Nevermore, you should definitely check out Anacrusis. Either of the band's Metal Blade releases – this album or Screams and Whispers are good places to start.
do you like exotic guitar riffs and changes? this album is for you. extremely heavy, manic impressions is some of the best work by anacrusis. it's unfortunate that they are no longer together. all you need to hear is the opening for "paint a picture", and "something real", which is the heaviest love song that i've ever heard. by far, it is the greatest song too on this album. kenn nardy's vocals are twisted between whispers and pain filled screams. after hearing the talent of the twin guitar power of kevin heidbredder and kenn nardy, it'll make you wonder how metallica got so big on such garbage after anything after" in justice for all" came out. true talent, such a shame they only released four albums. their previous album "reason" is another must have if you honestly want to hear a great band that was never given any chance to succeed.
Tortured Soul Kenn Nardi and crew entered a Wisconsin Studio in the winter of 1991 to create one of the finest records ever. There are several big changes here, most noticeable being the excellent, cold, mechanical production, and the addition of Chad Smith on drums, who couldn't misplace a beat if he tried. These two factors make this an incredibly tight, focused album, something that was lacking on the first two. The guitar tone is mostly treble, which allows Emery's bass to just cut right through, which is to the benefit of all who hear, as his performance just blows me away every time I listen. Another reference to Voivod, as both bands made the step to DDD on their cyber-releases (Nothingface). What else can I say, the first three notes of the album are indicative of what is contained within, an aural buzzsaw, unrelenting until the final hi-hat fade closes the album. Lyrically, incredibly depressive, as madness and life (usually the former resulting from the latter) are explored very personally, with Nardi's delivery brought up a notch on both ends, his clean vocals becoming more pronounced as are his shrieks. A guitar tech-fest, exchanging the hyper looseness of Reason for razor sharp riffage. I usually find that perfection is attained at the cost of emotion, but that's not the case here, as you just feel the pain contained within. A mathematical trip into an intricate mind, Manic Impressions is the culmination of 4 extraordinary musicians in the first half of their finest hour. If you ever see this, buy it, period.

Is it only in some browsers?
The content is sitting in the right place in firefox for me./
But, you do have content that doesn't fit in the widths you've defined.
e.g. The zip.png image is 316px and #leftwrap is 230px, that's where I would start looking.
Only define widths where you must, if you want everything in the sidebar at 230px then set that width on the parent and leave all child elements without a width, they will naturally be 100% if they are block elements.--

MOSCOW, Ohio (AP) -- The owner says he'll restore a tornado-damaged house in southwest Ohio that was once part of the Underground Railroad that helped slaves fleeing the South reach freedom.
One of several tornados that hit the area Friday ripped off much of the second story of the two-century-old Fee Villa in the heavily damaged Ohio River village of Moscow. Owner Joel Knueven's second-floor screen printing studio was demolished by the storm, and every window was broken.
He had completed major improvements on the home last summer, including replacing bricks and covering the exterior with fresh white paint.
He tells The Cincinnati Enquirer (http://cin.ci/ze2LNv ) he's optimistic about rebuilding on the first-floor walls that remain. He promises the house will be "better than ever."

Everything you need in a gaming mouse.
by Mergatroid Mania on December 3, 2010
Pros: Most of what the MX Revolution has plus a few extras
Cons: No customizable weights, they changed the way the scroll wheel works.
Summary: RIP MX Revolution...Long Live G700
My MX Revolution finally bit the dust. I had been using it for 3-4 years and I finally wore out the buttons.

Summary: RIP MX Revolution...Long Live G700After using this mouse for a weekend I will be returning it. Just like the Razer Mamba, this mouse has a very short battery life. About 5 hours under heavy use. This is not good enough for a gaming mouse. At least with the Logitech you can use a standard NiMH battery, so when your battery starts to die you can pop in another. Still, considering the MX revolution lasted about 3 days on a charge and my old 3-4 year old Revolution still lasts two days, this mouse (and the Mamba) are a real step backwards for wireless mice. I will be trying the Microsoft Sidewinder X8 on Monday. CNET and MS claim the battery will last 30 hours. We'll see. Given that two of the "best" wireless gaming mice only had a 5 hour battery life if the X8 is no better then I cannot recommend any wireless mice for gamers unless they can dig up a Logitech Revolution. Of course you can always plug in the wire, but then what's the point of paying extra for a wireless mouse?
My MX Revolution finally bit the dust. I had been using it for 3-4 years and I finally wore out the buttons.
I bought and tried the Razer Mamba, but I didn't like the charging cable, iffy electronics and poor battery life. If the Mamba was left plugged in all the time, it would be great. That's a bad thing to say about a $150 (CDN) cordless mouse.
I returned it and picked up a G700 for $99. It has the same sensitivity as the mamba, and the same polling rate. The shape is very similar to the Revolution as is the weight. Where the Revolution had two buttons and a rocker wheel on the thumb side, the G700 has four buttons. They are stacked in two sets of two over top of each other. This may take some getting used to. The scroll wheel still has the free movement ability as well as the ratcheting ability but you have to toggle between them by pressing a button immediately behind the wheel. Personally I preferred the acceleration detection and scroll wheel button activation on the MX revolution. A simple flick of the finger would activate the free moving wheel. The mouse wheel also has the left/right rocker switches I've gotten so used to. The G700 has another (2nd) button right behind the scroll wheel that is programmable. On the left side of the Left Mouse Button is a set of three buttons one behind the other. The two forward buttons are set up for changing the DPI on the fly (up and down). The third button is programmable (actually all the buttons are programmable). There are three LEDs on the left side of the mouse that serve two purposes. If you set up a button for "check battery" the lights will display how much charge is left in the mouse. If you change the DPI using the DPI buttons, the LEDs will indicate which DPI level you are currently at.
The Setpoint software has been changed, and now includes macros and profiles (as most gaming mice do now).
Charging is done by using a mini USB cable, and the mouse can be used during charging. Logitech has done away with the charging cradle however, something I will miss as I got used to leaving my mouse in the cradle whenever it was not being used.
So, I give this mouse high marks for it's higher resolution and polling speeds, as well as a solid build and more buttons. I liked the rocker wheel on the Revolution, but its place has been filled by the extra two thumb buttons. The scroll wheel is actually a step backwards in my opinion, however I understand a lot of people were complaining the Revolution was hard to activate the scroll wheel functions (I never had a problem with it myself). At least the free movement option is still there. I think the new sensitivity and polling speeds, along with the ability to change DPI on the fly and charge the battery during use balance out the loss of the Uber Scroll Wheel from the revolution, and the charging dock (I liked it).
I can honestly say this mouse is close to the same as the Revolution. I have not yet had the opportunity to see how long the battery lasts. I will edit this review when I do.

Good mouse...except for the battery life
by jeeves86 on July 18, 2012

Summary: After two years of solid use, my Razer Mamba died on me. I did some research and came across the Logitech G700 gaming mouse. At $99 CDN, it was still a little pricey, but not as expensive as the Mamba.
I grip my mouse with my thumb and the side of my ring finger and this fits comfortably in my hand. It features a material that almost feels abrasive when you first start using it, but you do get used to it and it helps provide extra grip. The top of the mouse surface is smooth though.
The ability to change DPI settings on the fly, the extra programmable buttons and the Setpoint software are all great features of this mouse. Haven't had any issues with them yet, having used the mouse for over two months now.
The free scroll and the ratchet are something I thought I would never get used to, having not ever used anything like it before. I have to say I am pleasantly surprised. It takes a bit of work training your fingers to reach a button behind the scroll wheel, but it's not much.
The one major downside to the G700 is the battery life. The thing eats through batteries like they're candy. It only uses one battery, which is probably why it eats through them so quickly. Logitech could have saved its customers a lot of frustration by designing the mouse to use two batteries. At the most, you'd get a day or so of heavy use out this mouse, so best to stock up on some rechargeable double As. I have to say I'm particularly glad that the mouse didn't come with a charging base either, as I was growing tired of the night-light that the Mamba had shipped with.
If you can put up with the thing eating through batteries, this is an awesome gaming mouse.

Hurricane Cosme has formed in the Pacific off the coast of Mexico.
The hurricane's maximum sustained winds Tuesday morning are near 75 mph (120 kph) with some additional strengthening possible during the day. The hurricane is expected to weaken Wednesday and Thursday.
Cosme is centered about 365 miles (585 kilometers) south of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and is moving northwest near 18 mph (30 kph).
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami says the storm will generate large swells that will affect parts of Mexico's Pacific coast Tuesday and parts of southern Baja California starting Tuesday night and into Thursday. The swells are likely to cause dangerous surf and rip current conditions.

Common Car Amplifier Problems and Solutions
Categories: Mobile / Car Electronics
Many car amplifiers are incorrectly diagnosed and sent in for repair/returned because of incorrect hookup. Sometimes the amp itself really is at fault. Here are a few common problems and what can be done to troubleshoot, as well as fix them (my fixes are the most common. They are not definitive in any way. Your amplifier could have a completley different problem, though it is unlikely):
Problem: Amplifier does not turn on.
Solution: Rule number one in amplifier hook up is to make sure the amplfier has a good ground. This means that it is secured to bare metal that is clean, rust-free, and tight.
Is the remote wire hooked up? Be sure it is, and that it is hooked up to the blue wire w/white stripe coming from the head unit, NOT the solid blue wire.
After that point, if the problem still exists, you're probably looking at bad parts in the PSU (power supply unit). The majority of the time, it's because mosfets are blown. It is never a bad idea to try hooking up the amplifier in a different car or taking it in to be tested just to be sure. Sometimes you can open the amp up and find physically fried components. For space constraints, I'll leave it at that.
Problem: Amplifier goes into protect.
Solution: This can be caused by too low of an impedance from the way the speakers are wired, and sometimes a poor charging system (if the amp goes into protect when the volume is turned up).
Otherwise, it's likely that the output transistors failed. That's the most common cause for an amplifier to go into protection. With no power applied to the amp, grab a multimeter, set it to ohms, and measure the resistance between the output transistors terminals. You should find none that have anything close to zero ohms between any of the terminals. If you find one or more that read ~0 ohms between therminals, they need to be removed from the circuit and checked. If you have several in parallel, it may seem as though the entire group shorted, but generally one fails and the others are OK. Of course, when you have one defective transistor in a group of parallel transistors, you must replace all of the transistors in that group. Open or broken emitter resistors can cause an amp to go into protect. If you don't find any shorted outputs, make sure there are no broken terminals on the emitter resistors
Problem: Amplifier is getting very hot/shutting down.
Solution: This is normally a result of the gains/input sensitivity being set too high. In addition, a lower impedance than the amp is rated for can cause this problem (and in the case of a lower impedance, it can cause permanent damage). Make sure your gain isn't turned up all the way, and that there is at least a bit of dial space between the max and where it is currently set. Be sure the speakers are wired to an impedance the amplifier can handle, and that the speakers are in good working order.
If the above have been met and the amplifier is still overheating, the best thing to do is add external cooling fans. PC fans work great, and I suggest getting the 3-5" models. They can be hard wired to the car's electrical system and a simple switch can be wired inline to turn them on and off.
Problem: Amplifier's volume turns down.
Solution: Many new amplifiers have protection circuitry that will limit the volume if they begin to get too hot. In this case, you would want to refer to the above problem for the solution.
Problem: Amplifier keeps blowing fuses.
Solution: This is usually caused by shorted output devices or power supply rectifiers. I'll refer you to the solution for the amplifier going into protect as it is basically the same thing, and is usually the root of the problem 95% of the time. Beyond that, it could be a shorted filter cap, some sort of short across the power rails, some short across the output, or shorts across the primary,. And, let's not forget loose hardware (any missing screws or nuts? A loose one under a pc board can short out most anything.)
Problem: Amplifier has intermittent or no sound.
Solution: This basically comes down to two troubleshooting steps:
- Try connecting a portable CD player to the RCA inputs (via headphone to RCA cable) and see if you get sound. If you do get sound, then the RCA cable from the head unit could be bad, or the head unit's RCA outputs could be fried or not turned on.
- Try hooking up a known-working speaker. If the speaker works, then chances are the ones you have are blown. Press down on the speaker cone of the likely blown speaker, and if it scratches, it's definitely bad.
Again, if that doesn't solve the problem, there is definitely a problem with the amplifier itself. Usually one of the output devices is to blame (seeing a consistency here? ;) ).
Problem: There is alternator whine or noise through the speakers.
Solution: This is another classic example of a bad ground. You must have a good ground connection. If the ground has been checked and is not the problem, a noise suppresor might be necessary. You can find one here.
Admittedly, some of my solutions are not for the novice, but I thought it would be good if they had an idea of what is actually wrong with their amplifier. If the problem you are having is not listed here, email me or engage me in the TechLore Forums.
my amp seems to be working fine [only the green power light is on/not the red protect light] but NO sound comes through my sub.. but my back two interior speakers still play music/whereas my front speakers don't
*and the music gets all scratchy unless i change settings to play through rear speakers only

Hey I have a 2,000 watt amp and i have been useing it before for my subs and recently i put it back into my truck and it works good with a low volume but once i turn it up the woofer starts going crazy and i know its not the woofer becuase i put the woofers conected to another amp and it works perfct. So what can be wrong with my amp?
i have an american pro amp its like 800 watts and it goes into protection mode when turned on..i get a second of bass or sound but thats it...if i turn the switch on and off a few times i may get 3 to 4 seconds of sound but it goes right back to protection mode,, anybody know whats wrong??

I have a Sony xplode 222 running my mids and highs and a boss audio 2.500 running my subs, it's s cheap setup but sounds suprisingly good , my problem is that my amps lose powr for no reason . Then out of nowhere they'll come back on. I've ran a 4awg power wire to a distribution block and good ground , I'm stumped any advise would be greatly appreciated
Just bought a new amplifier, everything is wired up correctly but I'm still having problems, as soon as I tick the car over the red light flicks on and off and nothing happens? When I Turn the car back off, the green light comes on then off. Red light comes on and off and then both come on and fade? All this happens with in 2 seconds? Does anyone have any ideas? Really need to sort this out its driving me nuts! Thanks
I have a JL Audio amplifier 300/2 that I had on my truck , it turns on but gets hot and it barely moves my subs I don't know what's wrong with it.

Can someone help me out? I have 12v from my battery but when I check it at the amp it only reads around 9v, which is not enough to push the amp. Does anyone know what would be the problem for this, or what I could do to fix this? It was working before it just stopped working while I was driving. The green light is on and the red light is flickering but no sound from the subs, it is a kicker cx 1200 if that helps at all.
Ok hooked up a 600w amp today and I have checked EVERYTHING. The radio will randomly just shut all sound off. When this happens I can not control the radio at all. No volume or changing song/ station, so when this happens there is no sound for a few seconds or minutes and it is random we can go 30 minutes without a problem or it can happen every 5 seconds. Please help.
Can some one answer my question. My amp and speakerr have been wrking fine but as of late. When music comes on I have a lot of feedback frm my amp and the bass sounds muddy and not clear. Is this a ground wiring issue
Check the ground, make sure you have bare metal connection. sand the paint off where you are grounding to and make sure all connections to amp are tight, it sounds like the vibration is causing the problem.
Thank u very much for your help JD but that's not the problem. you see my amplifier and my radio are sitting on the bench. I was bench checking before I installed. I bought the amp used at a pawn shop in Houston. I really believe there's component burned out inside amplifier. The more I push it the quicker it shuts off. Comes right back on for a split sec if volume is up and stays on longer if volume is low. Also found solder shaking around in the cabnet. I need to know what component would give those kind of symptoms, and will a multi meter work to test it?

There are no kangaroos in Austria.
We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in!
Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth.
The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party.
This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality.The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself!

So I got the update on my N8, looks pretty cool. I was looking for the weather widget. Is this something I gotta download from nokia store or should this be preloaded with belle ?

I read in the Finnish blog N8FIN that this weather widget was not included in the upgrade but it will be probably be included (among other new widgets) in a complimentary upgrade soon. Not nice for me, as they have not given any official info on that...

The widgets included in Nokia Belle are the same across all devices, and thus the Nokia Belle update for N8, E7, X7, C6-01, C7 and Nokia Oro includes the same widgets as the Nokia 700, 701 and 603 launched last year with Nokia Belle. Unfortunately, the weather widget is not available on Nokia Belle as it was a concept that was in the end not included in the final software version.

Yeah I was looking for it too, I have seen pictures/videos of a 'weather' bar widget (which when clicked takes you into the Nokia Map weather app) and a 'my location' widget which appears to take up half a homescreen (which when clicked opens Nokia Maps) and neither of these came with the recent Belle update/Maps 3.08 install.
Will these eventually be released officially by nokia because both look excellent?
If not where can I get hold of them without ruining the already installed Nokia Maps 3.08
Thanks all

It comes in Nokia Maps Suite 2.0. Rolled out today in Nokia Beta Labs.
Never worked for me before. Now does.
Looks gorgeous. It rocks.

Cheers again

The weather widget has been released as a beta version app in Nokia beta labs. I already have a weather widget from the leaked version of belle. All I want to know is, where do you install the beta weather widget? Is it in C drive or can it be installed in E drive as well?
Hi blitzkid
The weather widget from Beta Labs automatically installs in C but my advice is for you to keep for now your weather widget from leaked Belle. I've installed the Beta version and the night doesn't work; it's by night and the widgets keep showing the sun
They'll probably release a fixed version soon.
I hope this helps you.
