Gold Fields Cut by UBS, Goldcorp and Randgold Disappoint, Miners Fall
Gold has gained 1.4% to $1465.79 today but that hasn't helped most of the gold miners, as downgrades and uninspired earnings weigh on their stocks.
Goldcorp (GG) has dropped 1.7% to 28.37 this morning after missing earnings. Cowen's Adam Graf and Misha Levental sum it up:
The company reported adjusted EPS of $0.31/share, compared to the Street at $0.38/ share, and $0.50/share y/y. Earnings were primarily affected by lower realized gold prices y/y, lower by-product revenues (volumes & prices), and early higher-cost production contribution from Pueblo Viejo. Costs during ramp-up are often significantly higher than average LOM costs.
Randgold Resources (GOLD), meanwhile, reported earnings of 76 cents a share this quarter, down from 97 cents a year ago, Reuters said. The company said it would cut costs to account for lower gold prices. Randgold's shares have fallen 0.5% to $79 today.
And what would a day be without the requisite downgrade of a gold-mining stock? UBS cut Gold Fields (GFI) to Neutral from Buy because it failed "to identity any strong stock-specific catalysts." Its analysts also worry about the stability of the dividend at current gold prices, which are below UBS's $1600 forecast. If current prices hold, the analysts say, they would have to cut earnings estimates by about 40%.
Oh, and Gold Fields remains its favorite South African miner:
It remains our top pick though, offering (1) lower exposure to SA labour risk & (2) relatively
more stable cash flows from offshore assets versus that of its SA peers.
Gold Fields has fallen 2.4% to $7.19 today. The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) has dropped 0.7% to $29.46.

Looking for ideas of what to check next. I have a 1991 75hp Mariner outboard and I am losing pressure on my fuel line. I have to pump the bulb first time out in the morning and then again if I fish in one spot for a while. If I do not it will bog down on me and may or may not kill. If I pump the bulb too much while I am bogging down I will partially flood the motor and kill it. I then have to turn the key for several 15 second bursts or more to start the motor. I have replace the bulb fuel line twice to make sure I didn't get a bad one the first time. I also replaced the fuel line from my built in gas tank to where it goes to connect with the bulb gas line. Does this sound like the fuel pump? I want to eliminate any cheap fixes that I can before replacing the fuel pump. I blew a cylinder a few years ago and I assume the carbs were all redone at that time by my guy. I owned it for the past 20 years and I have only used non oxy fuel. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.
By hoppe56307 · PostedPreds make it to the finals. I thought someone said they were the last team in and technically the 16 seed. Who ever they face in the finals it will be a battle, hope the Sens make it. But would be nice to see Cullen get a cup.
By Musky hunter 82 · PostedI finally just said screw it, so I picked a couple of guys that I thought would do good (Christie, and Rojas) and some over looked guys that have had a little success this year, and were from the area. Would never had expected Alton Jones Jr, to go from 80 something place on day 1 to the top 12. Glad he was on my team though
If you haven't planted your tomatoes yet......plant them laying down on their side. Pick off all the branches up to the top.Lay the plant in a trench and cover the stem up to the top. Put a soil pillow under the top. Just be careful not to break the stem (I have). Tomatoes are the only plant that will send out roots from the buried stem. You will wind up with a large root ball to feed the plant. This also puts the roots closer to the surface where the soil is warmer instead of deep where it is cool.
By thatoneguy · PostedAnother disaster. I tried making relatively safe picks, and bombed. I have gone from the top 60 after two events all the way down to just over the 90th percentile. I need to just go with my gut
that is what we were thinking too.

Before you begin, make sure you have a good strong battery and make sure it's charged up. If you have a bad or weak battery, you may want to replace it because if it doesn't crank good and strong, you are likely to get a low, inaccurate reading. Make sure your engine is warmed up to operating temperature(if possible). About 10 minutes of riding should do.
First, take out the spark plug and thread in the adapter for the compression tester. Make sure you have the correct size adapter for your particular ATV. Slide your kill switch to the "off" position. Some ATVs won't crank over with the kill switch in the "off" position, so if yours is like this, then you will need to either unhook your ignition coil or ground the end of the spark plug wire to a good ground. You can use a jumper wire with alligator clips on each end to ground it. Next, make sure the throttle is in the wide open position. You can either hold the throttle lever with your thumb or you may be able to tape it or use a zip tie to fasten it to your handlebars to hold it in the wide open position. If you don't have the throttle in the wide open position, you will probably get too low of a reading. Also, if you are testing a newly rebuilt engine, the engine needs to have been run for, at least, 30 or 40 minutes or you will probably get too low of a reading.
NOTE: Before you begin with the actual test, make sure the threaded adapter is screwed in good and isn't leaking any air out around it.
With the throttle in the wide open position, push the start button and crank the engine over until the hand on the gauge stops moving. Each time the engine turns over the hand should raise a little more until it reaches the maximum compression of the engine. When it stops, that is your compression reading. This usually takes no more than 10 seconds. Try to avoid cranking an engine for more than 10 seconds at a time as this is hard on the starter and the battery. Now, push the relief valve on your compression gauge and that will reset the hand back to zero. It's a good ideal to repeat the test a couple or three times to make sure you get an accurate reading. On kick start models, it will be the same procedure, but obviously you will be kicking it over instead of using a start button. Worn piston rings and cylinder walls will increase the number of strokes it takes to reach the maximum reading. If you're kicking, it could possibly take as many as 10-20 kicks to get the highest reading.
You will need to check your repair manual for your particular model for the correct compression specifications. See note below. Usually, an engine will run OK if it has at least 100 PSI of compression. Most engines will have somewhere between 100-250 and some as high as 300 PSI, depending on the engine. Sometimes they will run with under 100 PSI, but usually not very well. If you get a low reading, you can do a "wet test" to try to help determine the problem.
If your reading is too high, then you probably have carbon built up on your piston and combustion chamber.
NOTE: You may get a low reading on some engines because some engines have a decompressor assembly built into the camshaft. Check the service manual for your quad to see whether or not your quad has a decompressor assembly built into the cam.
If you got a low reading, pour about 1-2 teaspoons of clean motor oil down into the cylinder through the spark plug hole and do the compression test again. If your reading increases, then your rings or cylinder walls are probably worn. If your reading doesn't increase, then it's probably your valves. You could have a bent valve, you may have leaky valve seats, or your valve clearance may not be adjusted properly. Also, low compression can be caused by a blown head gasket.
*Worn piston rings or worn or damaged cylinder walls
*Leaking valves
*Valve clearance not properly set
*Blown head gasket
CAUSE OF HIGH COMPRESSION (stock engines)
*Carbon buildup in combustion chamber and on piston
NOTE: Compression testing is a good way to keep track or "gauge" the wear in your engine. When you first get your ATV or when you rebuild the engine in your ATV, you can do a compression test and then later on, you can do them periodically. This will help you determine the wear in your engine each time you do a compression test and will guide you in knowing when your engine needs rebuilding.
This is about all I can think of. I hope I didn't leave anything out and I hope this helps everyone with their compression tests.

The 2013 Texas Legislature kicked off Jan. 8 with a rosier budget picture than last session, which could be good news for TMA's goals of restoring many of the harsh cuts enacted in 2011. Fewer bills filed so far this session also could mean more air time for health care issues.
That includes Medicaid, expected to remain a focus for lawmakers. As such, making headlines was the TMA Board of Trustees' decision at TMA's Winter Conference to support a bipartisan, federal-state solution to reform the state's Medicaid program and expand coverage to poor, childless adults.
Meanwhile, just one month into session, TMA already reached landmark agreements on bills addressing certain scope-of-practice and end-of-life issues. A number of insurance-related bills have medicine on alert.
Key committee appointments of House and Senate members of the house of medicine could play a big role in moving medicine's efforts forward.
On the Senate side: Sen. Bob Deuell, MD (R-Greenville), kept his spots as vice chair of the Senate Health and Human Services and State Affairs committees and as a member of the Senate Finance Committee; rookie Sen. Charles Schwertner, MD (R-Georgetown), won a seat on Health and Human Services; and new Sen. Donna Campbell, MD (R-New Braunfels), was appointed to the Senate Education Committee.
In the House: TMA Alliance member Rep. Susan King (R-Abilene), Rep. John Zerwas, MD (R-Simonton), and new Rep. Greg Bonnen, MD (R-Friendswood), have seats on the Appropriations Committee. Representative King and new Rep. J.D. Sheffield, DO (R-Gatesville), are on the Public Health Committee. Dr. Zerwas also is on the Human Services Committee, and Dr. Bonnen is on the Insurance Committee.
Let the Budget Battle BeginIn early February, Senate and House members began tackling their respective budgets, albeit conservatively.
Both chambers unveiled budgets of about $90 billion in state funds. That's well above last session's $80 billion budget, but still below the $101.4 billion that Comptroller Susan Combs projected was available for the 2014-15 biennium. The state's Rainy Day Fund has about $12 billion on hand that lawmakers appear reluctant to touch right away.
Both draft budgets, Senate Bill 1 and House Bill 1, take into account the $4.5 billion needed to make the Medicaid program whole from last session.
The Senate Finance Committee began hearings on SB 1, and physician leaders urged lawmakers to fund medical education and graduate medical education programs; mental and public health; and family planning and women's health services.
TMA officials already see signs of improvement on medical education funding. The initial Senate budget puts $33.4 million into the Texas Physician Education Loan Repayment Program – way up from the $5.6 million from last session and higher than the $20 million in funding when the program first started. Lawmakers are looking to use the new money to add 200 physicians to the program over the biennium.
TMA physicians also asked senators to reverse the 20-percent payment cut for physicians who treat patients dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid.
In a partial win, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission reinstated payment of the $147 Medicare Part B deductible for these patients in January. It's up to the legislature to restore the 20-percent Medicare copayment that Medicaid used to cover for poor patients.
Medicaid Front and CenterMedicaid already is the subject of several bills that aim to save money by expanding Medicaid managed care, adding quality-based payment initiatives, and fighting fraud.
On the latter, Senate Bill 8 would essentially codify controversial state regulations that physicians believe could allow authorities to charge them with fraud for simple billing errors. TMA officials are working to ensure due process protections are included in that bill.
Despite Gov. Rick Perry's staunch opposition to expanding the state's Medicaid program as prescribed by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, some lawmakers entertain the idea of finding a state-based solution that would allow Texas to get some of the extra federal dollars available.
Nor do physicians want the state to miss out on money that could go a long way toward helping their patients – so long as it fixes the broken program to win back the doctors needed to take care of those patients.
That's the gist of a recent policy statement that seeks expansion of coverage for poor, childless adults that is not traditional Medicaid.
How far those conversations go in the legislature remains to be seen.
Landmark Agreements on Scope, End of LifeThere is no question, meanwhile, that TMA and nurse practitioners broke ground on a bill that protects diagnosing and prescribing as the practice of medicine, while allowing doctors to delegate their prescribing authority to advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) and physician assistants (PA) as part of a physician-supervised care team. TMA officials say Senate Bill 406 will help establish a more flexible and collaborative practice model that improves on current site-based restrictions and expands access to care.
Months of discussions among TMA, the Texas Academy of Family Physicians, APRNs, and PAs led to the filing of the bill by Sen. Jane Nelson (R-Flower Mound) and Rep. Lois Kolkhorst (R-Brenham). The Senate Health and Human Services Committee unanimously approved the legislation, which heads to the full Senate.
Still, TMA officials anticipate other legislation aiming to expand the scope of practice of other allied health professionals. House Bill 624, introduced by Rep. Bill Zedler (R-Arlington), for example, requires health plans to pay podiatrists, optometrists, and others the same rate as their physician counterparts.
Senate Bill 303 could be another big step forward in helping to resolve the end-of-life debates that are a regular session item of late. The legislation protects doctors' rights to do what they believe is ethically and medically best for patients in their last days, while updating the Texas Advance Directives Act to give patients and their families more time and help during such discussions. Senator Deuell worked on the bill with TMA, the Texas Hospital Association, the Texas Alliance for Life, and other health care, religious, and right-to-life groups.
On the insurance front, House Bill 620 introduced by Rep. Craig Eiland (D-Galveston) seeks to regulate the so-called "silent PPO" market and prevent health plans from subcontracting physicians' discounted rates without doctors' knowledge.
However, TMA officials have a careful eye on Senate Bill 257 (Representative Deuell), which could limit physicians' ability to challenge an incorrect payment made by health plans.
House Bill 522 by Rep. John Kuempel (R-Seguin) authorizes health plans to directly pay ambulance providers and could apply to physicians not in a patient's plan. But TMA lobbyists say it is unclear whether the bill would be more administratively burdensome for doctors than the current assignment-of-benefits process.
Cutting Red TapeTo help reduce administrative burdens for practices, TMA supports HB 1032 by Representative Zerwas. The bill requires the Texas Department of Insurance to appoint a stakeholder workgroup to design a uniform and standard prescription drug prior authorization form applicable across all payers, including Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program, and workers' compensation. A similar bill in the works addresses the standardization of a prior authorization form for medical services.
TMA also is pressing for measures to relieve doctors from Department of Public Safety backlogs by making the renewal of their license to prescribe controlled substances concurrent with the medical license renewal process.
On the other hand, House Bill 595 could create another hassle factor for physicians: The bill, sponsored by Representative Kolkhorst, requires various health care entities to report to the state on quality and costs. TMA is monitoring the bill to discern to what degree physicians would have to submit such data.
On public health, Rep. Myra Crownover (R-Denton) said she plans to reintroduce a bill supporting the TMA and Texas Public Health Coalition's goals for statewide smoke-free legislation, particularly for employees who have little option but to work in smoke-filled environments.
Several vaccination bills filed would help the coalition advance its vaccine policy: Senate Bills 62, 63, and 64 by Senator Nelson, and Senate Bill 40 by Sen. Judith Zaffirini (D-Laredo). In the House, legislation by Rep. Donna Howard (D-Austin) preserves young adult vaccination data of those whose parents consented.
TMA leaders also testified in support of half-a-dozen bills to ban texting while driving. A similar effort passed both chambers in 2011 but Governor Perry vetoed it.
Record February "First Tuesdays"Legislators heard all about medicine's agenda through TMA's initial First Tuesdays at the Capitol lobbying event on Feb. 5 with a record turnout. Nearly 300 physicians, medical students, and TMA Alliance members knocked on the doors of their representatives and senators to discuss Medicaid, medical education funding, public health, and other critical issues.
The remaining First Tuesdays events are March 5, April 2, and May 7.

I think USA and Russia were the strongest federation in political, and most of ISU money came from USA. But now, Japan is in that role. So overall, USA-Japan-Russia-Canada.
I think USA and Russia were the strongest federation in political, and most of ISU money came from USA. But now, Japan is in that role. So overall, USA-Japan-Russia-Canada.
Korean federation? I bet its the weakest of them all that produced a world or Olympic champion. They couldnt eke out a win for Yu-Na at the 2008 Worlds, at the 2011 Worlds, or even at the 2008 GPF in Korea (her only international competition at home to date, junior or senior), where at each event the call could have gone either way.
What makes Kim unique is that she was such a pioneering skater for her country (though the same could be said for Chen, too).
If Fernandez can achieve top results for Spain, and it looks like he is on the way to accomplishing this, I think that could provide a serious boost to Spanish skating.
I agree with your saying that most of the times the right skater wins despite politics. But we all know that there are as many instances where some skaters win with the help of politics -- especially when the stakes are major, which is especially bad for the sport because the major events are exposed to more viewers and potential new fans, who could turn indifferent. We have witnessed, with various sports, the adverse effects match/score fixing controversies can have on the sport in the long run.
I think Glam is misunderstanding the difference between personal endorsements Yuna has, and ISU sponsorships which coincidentally Japanese federation shares many of them with.
Last edited by l'etoile; 10-31-2012 at 12:06 PM. Reason: unnecessary details.
by media/coverage, the US is still the best but the problem is the viewers aren't there as it used to be thus
this sort of trying of revival back to the good old golden years' of US FS
I'd rank:
Italy - Chinquanta
I do find it intriguing that people think because Orser's Canadian he's really high ranked in the Canadian hierarchy. The only Canadian he coached was Cynthia Phaneuf and that was for a couple months (Nationals, 4CC, WTT). He's fairly international. If Orser is really THAT good at politicking, though, it would be an impressive feat.
Otherwise, what Buttercup said.
Japan = USA = Canada = Russia > EU >>> China,Korea,Kazakhstan,Australia etc.
In a grand frame, equilibrium of power between 4 federations.
EU : european no.1~2 bonus
Canada and Orser made Yuna into WC and Oly C. She made the perfect move at the right time. Amazing the luck all the way/along with talent. So sad for Orser it ended so poorly. I'd love to see Javier be his second WC. Javi is wonderful and belongs on podium with the best in the world.
It is interesting, thinking that back then Yunas move to Orser was considered risky by many and was scoffed by a few.
Not that Yuna went to OGM coach & IMG speaker which are Orsers present position.

If Canada, which is not even Yuna's nationality, supposedly "made her champion," what does it say for the rest of the champions from US, Japan, Canada, or Russia? It would definitely be much easier for them to make their skaters champion, then they must have all earned their titles not with their skating, but witha push of their OWN strong federations. Even though it is a hard fact that figureskating is a political sport, to say a skater was backed by a federation other than their own is much far-fetched to say the least.
Plus, Canada had Joannie as rising hope for their own champion in the meantime. It doesn't make any sense.
If Canada were so powerful then Chan would still be winning and Davis and White would be relegated clearly to second and that is NOT the case. Now if we were talking PR or media attention then the Japanese and American skaters would be the clearest faves.

Tatsu, from Seaguar, is a fluorocarbon fishing line widely considered to be the strongest, most sensitive fluoro line ever created. Tatsu shocked the world when it was first introduced stateside, most anglers balked at the high price tag, that is, until they fished with it. Without a shadow of a doubt, Seaguar Tatsu is the finest fluorocarbon fishing line ever developed combining the most strength and sensitivity with the lowest diameter and highest degree of invisibility. Throughout the centuries, the mythical, mighty dragon has been described as fierce, formidable, stealthy, and virtually indestructible. Like the flexible, lithe, and armored scales of a Dragon, TATSU has a tough, but soft exterior, while hiding an inner strength incomparable to any other line on the planet. TATSU is a Double Structure Fluorocarbon (DSF) line. Made with two custom, 100% Seaguar Fluorocarbon resins, extruded in one solid piece, TATSU is simply the best of the very best in Seaguar lines. No other competitor can match Seaguar's proprietary extrusion process that
releases the performance power of this uniquely structured line. Seaguar's strongest and softest line, TATSU is the apex of Fluorocarbon.
We want to be clear when we say this is the greatest fluorocarbon ever made - this isn't opinion - it's fact. Every aspect of this line rates higher than any competitor's. While many other lines are excellent, this is the mark for which all other fluorocarbon line strive to reach. It's no secret within the industry and continues to prove true as more and more anglers give Tatsu a shot. Freshwater or saltwater fishing - both will benefit from the use of Seaguar's finest fluorocarbon. We carry the Seaguar Tatsu Fluorocarbon in eight line sizes: 4 - 25lb.
We also sell the Seaguar Tatsu 1000 yard Bulk Spools.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Author; I Don't Know Where I Want to Be -But it Isn't Here!
Hope everyone is excited about starting the new year freshly.
A NEW Beginning is this month's theme and I am looking forward to the theme challenges. Who out there has some new ideas they are trying out for their next piece?
I know I am toying with several and by the end of the week there will probably be a few new ideas on the list as well. Ahh, the idea of fresh projects is so alluring.

We make green juice now, every morning. Too bad I don't have a goat for the leftovers. Hmmm...

Since we are in summer raspberries,blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, bananas,guavas, peaches and nectarines, avocados and tomatoes are almost our entire diet. Yum! But of course that is because they are growing in either our yard or our neighbors'. Love that goat idea.......goat cheese..yum..
Can't wait to see your next art piece on this idea of yours
Author; I Don't Know Where I Want to Be -But it Isn't Here!
Holidays are settled out now. What are you all starting project-wise? There are so many new ideas to experiment with this year. What are your 'New Beginnings'? A New subject? New technique you've been a little scared to try?
Put that new resolution into a quilt with some fresh art techniques too...................
My recently hatched plan is taking an old pattern I like and adding some oddball visual elements to totally change it.
To wit-- this very,very,very easy 'puzzle pattern' which I made up a few years ago for a neighbor. Someone will I ask I know so......I only work with measurements for this pattern. (If you look at the photo you can see it is merely 7 rectangles made into a square that don't even need any accuracy. The trick is merely in where you place the different colored rectangle 'puzzle bits'. You can draw one up yourself for the sized scraps you have lying around)
Anyway, I think it needs some more interesting spaces put into the puzzle itself and a piece or two off to the side waiting to be placed.
OTOH this Q won't be going on the wall. The original plan was to do a wall art piece but we just heard yesterday about a young friend whose house just burnt to the ground a few days ago. He is a musician and everything, including his instrument which is way to make a living, was in the house his already poor family rented. Here most people don't have contents insurance as it is way to costly. So I can help him piece his life back together a tiny bit but want to play with these new ideas for this pattern at the same time. So that is my goal for the month.
Now what about you guys over there???? What are you up to this new year?
Author; I Don't Know Where I Want to Be -But it Isn't Here!
i am still playing catch-up. i do see an end to the tunnel. my dear son has visited from london and is currently in nyc with friends. he flies out tomorrow and says he will be gone a year. makes me very sad, but he is old enough to decide these things for himself. i do miss him, and the others, now that they are all far away. so it is another new beginning with an empty nest. you'd think i'd have this down pat. as for the tunnel, there are still afew time sensitive projects i need to do. i am determined to get some fabric dyed. i'm taking a craftsy class on resist printing and it has re-kindled my desire to get some made. i have a huge investment in the tools and have done only one small piece. time to kick into gear!!
i must say i like the creations you two are showing. i am interested in doing a puzzle quilt, as i am so many other designs. it would be great for an autism fund raiser. and, dotty, daniel may have missed the boat with your lovely lily! such nice looking kids!
off to the dr's. have had 3 migraines in the last 2 weeks, and that's enough of that! hopefully there's a magic cure/preventative out there, short of removing my head, which i have considered! but then, what would i do with all my earrings?? ciao !

The only bad days are the ones you don't get.
Here is a new idea with improved technique. I took a class at my LQS and appreciate the instructor's tips on using fusibles.

Nancia your catching up isn't contributing to the migraines I hope. BTW I used to have those terribly and when I hit menopause they went away. So there were several good aspects to that time frame.
It sounds like you are in a fabric creation time warp. My back patio and the summer temps are also beckoning me in that direction. Well. actually any excuse to get my hands all blue and green will do my husband thinks..

Hi all
Do you know if there is a difference between the queen marker pen that is sold in the bee-stores, and the other that is sold in the book stores?
The first is sold for 6-7 euros a piece and the other for 3 euros a piece.
I personally don't think that the pen factories make <<special>> pens for bees.
What do you all think?


text:
The best coloured bees according to me is Egyptian honey bees- bright orange bands with one or two silvery black end bands. great look
The second one for me is the Cordovan italians- great look with the yellow colour.
The third one is Carniolans-Great look with the black and white bands(white bands due to the hair.
Which bees do you think is the best with colour? please post your replies

Hi all,This is my first post, so go easy!!!I have a 99 GMC Sierra with an Alpine CDE-9846 head unit (CDE-9846 description). I installed Kicker DS65 speakers in the doors (DS65 description)I also recently purchased a Sound Ordnance B8PT (B-8PT description)I have had one heck of a time getting it set up. My chief complaint is that the EQ in the HU is very basic, and does not provide a good range of options. However, I noticed I'm missing the entire bottom end. I can hear the subwoofer, but it's not nearly low enough. Im missing critical pieces of the bottom end, I can't even hear melodic bass riffs in my drum and bass music (for reference, it plays perfectly well via home system, headphones, and through my Honda Accord system w/stock HU, Kicker KS65 components in the front, and Kicker KS69s in the rear deck). The Kickers in my car blow away the truck system.Thing is, my music sounds fairly normal (so I think everything is hooked up correctly), but it's been exceedingly difficult to tune. My biggest frustration is that the Alpine HU has these "centers" around certain frequencies, and won't give me decent sound. The subwoofer is connected via the switchable pre-amp RCA output from the Alpine. When I tweak the 'subwoofer' level, it responds. And when I tweak the 'bass' level it also responds. I would have thought that the overall system bass and treble adjustment wouldn't affect the sound coming through those RCAs?
I'm at wits end figuring out how to adjust/tune it properly. Any ideas? Here are my current settings:Alpine settings:- bass: 80 Hz, +4 level- treble: 10.0 kHz, +7 level- subwoofer: +10 levelSubwoofer settings:- level: almost 3/4 max- boost: 3 db (out of 12)- frequency: 100 Hz- remote level: 1/2Thanks in advance!

Hopefully you have the RCA output in the head audio setting switched to subwoofer ?
Forget the treble for now, it don't affect the S/O.
Bass center at 80 or 100 hz. I would try the most narrow setting. This will affect less frequencies above and below the 80 or 100 hz. Bass level +10.Subwoofer preamp output (not the S/O. in the head menu still) +15.
On the S/O, level about half, freq about half, bass eq 0db, play with the phase. Remote level full.
Now see what you have. I have this same powered sub in a small extended cab truck. It shakes the mirrors, thumps my back, and has great bass guitar musicality.
I'm thinking maybe you don't have the RCA output from the Alpine set to subwoofer.
Also, since you don't have a highpass filter for the full range truck speakers, there is a chance you are experiencing some phasing and/or frequency cancellation issues and it is affecting the percieved bass response from the S/O sub/amp. Why I said to play with the phase knob on the S/O. It is nice because it don't have to be set at 0 or 180 only, but anywhere in between, which can help. Make doubly sure also that all your polarity is correct, including the red and white RCA outputs from Alpine to S/O, and your speakers.
Wow, excellent advice! I have experimented with a couple similar settings, I'll have to try your recommendations this afternoon. I am sure that the RCAs are correct, and I do have the subwoofer set to "on" in the setting menu. I did try 'widening' the bass center band, but it didn't seem to do much.
I think the most confusing part is how the overall 'bass' level affect both the full-range speakers and the subwoofer. I would have thought the two would have been independent.
I'll try things out tonight, but I'm hoping I get some nice kick in the low-end from this speaker. I was surprised by how much of the low-end is missing (seemingly 100 Hz and below is absent from my music). If that's the case, it may be that this sub is not performing as spec'd (down to 40 Hz). I'd hate to have to replace the HU just to check out my theory, but perhaps something with a wider range of EQ adjustment is just what I need?
Thanks again, I'll follow up soon.
You might think your full range Kicker speakers are the *** for bass, alot of peeps do. I have experience with them and know they aren't. A good option since you don't have a highpass filter nor an amp for them is to use 150 hz bassblockers on them. When you get it all tuned/EQ'd well, all the sound will seem as tho it is originating close to dash center, optimally.
Another thing you should try is to set all your EQ, sub level, etc. in the head where you want, then with the S/O RCA's disconnected, turn the volume up until the Kickers distort, then down a notch at a time until they stop distorting. Now turn off the power, reconnect the S/O RCA's, set the S/O how you want, listen to a well recorded bass heavy song, turn up the level on the S/O until it sounds good. You should do this with the engine started and the doors and windows closed.
I don't have anything useful to add to this, just something caught my eye:
SpinDoctor15Hi all,This is my first post, so go easy!!!
This post should go in the "First Post Hall of Fame"! You gave all your equipment with model numbers, links to all of them, precisely described your problem, even listed your current settings. Well done!
You should see some of the other "first posts" we get here. Goes something like this:
YO I got 2 12S AND THERE SUPER LOUD BUT OTHER DAY THEY WERENT SO LOUD 1 WAS LIKE 4 TIMES LOUDER THAN OTHER AND ONE SMELLD AND SMOKED WATS WRONG??????? OH I HAVE 12S HOOKD UP TO 5000 WATT AMP AND CAP IF THAT HELPS THAKS
So thank you for taking the time to type like a human, and welcome to the forums!
1998 Honda Prelude, Pioneer DEH-P9400BH + Sirius tuner, Kicker KS6.2 front components, Kicker KS6930 rear speakers, Alpine MRP-F300 for speakers, Alpine SWR-1022 in ported box, Rockford Fosgate Punch 501s for sub.
some of your issue may be due to improper phasing. correct phasing is important!!!
from what i've read so far, the only phase correction available to you is the "reverse mode" for the subs and a bit of crossover frequency selection choices (crossovers impact phase). you may also be able to move the sub, which will also affect phasing. reverse the phase, and see if that helps (but that will affect every other frequency in the sub range, so some frequencies may become suddenly louder, whilst others will be weakened.
in a perfect world, a single speaker with all the component speakers aligned on the same plane that played the entire spectrum of sound would eliminate phasing issues. home audio has this (tweet, mid and woofer are very close together), but car audio does not (at least not as good, anyway... you usually need to add a sub somewhere in the trunk/cargo area to car audio systems). that makes things tricky, cuz a sub usually ends up way back in the vehicle, while the primary speakers are located up-front. so that presents a delay... cuz sound takes time to reach your ears compared to something like light, which is virtually instant. sound is slow... i learned this in grade school while at recess. the kid that got in trouble that day had to clap erasers as punishment, and i noticed that the sound had a great delay from the time i saw the erasers clap to the time i actually heard the clap. matching subs with front speakers requires some timing consideration. otherwise, they may be completely out-of-phase at certain frequencies and you can end up with nearly zero output as the front speakers work against the sub. cross-overs can be a big aid here, but there will always be some overlap in freq response between the primary speakers (preferably the front speakers, but that's another argument) and the sub.
you've really got to play around with those filter frequencies. i haven't read a "correct" way to do it, it's usually just trial and error. really helps to have test tones and an SPL meter, but sometimes the best possible equipment is your own 2 ears! after all, that's the equipment that matters most...
the way i do it is to first set the front speakers. the front speakers should always be the priority in a SQ system (where sound quality is a matter of import).
i get them sounding as nice as i can, and then i add the sub. sometimes it works right off the bat, but not usually...(well, never to be perfectly honest) you've got to play with the sub crossover settings and sub position a LOT. and if you ALSO adjust the front speaker crossover settings, it squares the permutations (meaning it becomes a mathematical nightmare!). but you don't need to understand math to know what sounds good... thank goodness!
i might be more confusing than helpful, so i'm gonna pause here and hope you are kinda getting me. you stated some very technically correct things earlier, so i don't want to insult you. i'm good with subs tho, just i tend to go overboard and give a half dozen ported box designs only to find out the OP just wants a sealed box! box design probably takes double the time as actually building the box!
Thank you all for the great inputs. I'm happy to have joined a community where folks actually KNOW what they're talking about!
So, I've tried a couple things today, none to great success...
GLH: I made all the adjustments according to the settings you recommended. Most of the adjustments were good choices, however, the one that just didn't work was the Bass level set to +10. It made everything completely muddy and overloaded. Furthermore, the bottom end (sub 200/100 Hz or so) is still absent. So, I dialed bass level back to a comfortable +4 and left all the other settings as you prescribed. Thanks for the good suggestions.
J Ro: I appreciate the thought you've put into my issue as well. I did play around with the phasing, and I know how it's responding as I change it, yet I've determined that this is definitely not the issue. Whether I sit in the driver's seat or if I hop in the back of the cab and get up-close with the sub, it doesn't affect the loss of the low frequency.
I'm still hung up on whether/not the 'bass level' should affect the output of the sub. When other people tweak their system, does the 'bass' EQ setting affect the sub? (outside of the 'subwoofer' EQ setting?) When I set my 'bass' level to 0, all bass disappears, including the subwoofer. That's what is getting me confused. I would think that the full-range speakers would miss the bass, but that the sub would keep on kicking? That's also why the bass level +10 drowned all the sound in muddy bass.
One additional observation: it doesn't appear that the crossover frequency is affecting the sub. I'm still getting higher tones out of it (and am missing the low notes) even with the freq. range adjust down to 80 Hz. It doesn't seem to be impacting the sound. Since my full-range speakers don't sound good with this Receiver, and the subwoofer doesn't seem to be operating properly with this Receiver, could my problem really be the Receiver?!

This HU only has one set of RCA outputs, and I'm sure the polarity (red/white) is correct. I'm wondering if the 'switchable' nature of this channel is actually causing it to be amplified from the HU, rather than clean or un-amplified. Perhaps I don't have a good understanding of how this actually works?
I'm going to try another experiment tomorrow. I have an iPod with music loaded where I know the bass pattern. I'll connect it to a cable I have with stereo mini-jack on one end converted to RCA red/white on the other. I'll then connect it directly to the sub and listen for the low tones I expect. If I hear them (knowing the rest of the music will be absent), then I can assume that the sub is capable of handling my music the way I expect, and that the HU is just terrible. If I DON'T hear it playing nice low notes, then I'll wonder if the sub is even capable of the stated 40 Hz on the low end of the range. I'll report back soon ;-)

gotta say WOW! you're a natural at fault isolation! definitely try that, and let us know what you observe. it would indeed isolate the HU as the issue if sending the signal to the amp directly from a known good source resolves the issue. kudos! i may have suggested the same thing myself...

Hehe, I wish that too! I have attempted to switchitbck and forth but it doesn't affect the sound much. I can hear a difference hen it amps the front speakers vs the sub, but it isn't large, and doesn't drastically affect the sub freq range. Will try my iPod trick this morning and report back ASAP!
The RCA preamp output must be switched to subwoofer output, and that output connected to the sub amp.
Switchable Preout: The preamp outputs can be switched from front channel outputs to a non-fading subwoofer preamp output with a variable level of 0 to +15. When the subwoofer is activated in the Setup menu, the preout is switched at the same time. When the subwoofer is deactivated, the preout is switched back to a front channel output.
Great first post - it's usually about the 4th post that we find out about the 5,000W amp.
The EQ settings typically WILL affect the subwoofer RCA's as well.
You really have PLENTY of EQ control with the Alpine HU, but they can be MUCH trickier to setup than say setting a Pioneer HU to "Powerful". If you play with the settings, you should eventually get the sound you want.
I would also recommend downloading some test tones and burning them to CD and testing them to see what plays on the subwoofer and what plays on the head unit.
There should be a DRASTIC difference between the pre-outs in FRONT and SUB mode - although not as much if you have the LPF on on the B-8PT and the HPF off on the HU.
Crutchfield's Tech Support may be able to help also (assuming you bought new from them).
Hope This Helps!!!
Anyone else have suggestions?
2002 Ford Focus JVC KD-A815 Sony CDX-GT410u Sony XT-100HD HD Tuner Stock speakers, no amp, no subs
Thanks again for all of your help. I have spoken with Crutchfield customer service and gone through multiple setup options. It appears I'm just not getting the low-end from this sub that I expected. I'm disappointed since the frequency-range published in the specs show it will reach 40 Hz. I do have a test CD (The Ultimate Test CD), and the 40 Hz tone is audible, but barely there.
This is also reflected in the music I've been playing. The Apline HU is set up about as near perfect as I can get it. I also disconnected the RCAs and plugged in an iPod (ran mini-stereo to RCA output cable straight into the sub). I received the same musical response from the iPod as I did from the HU, which means that the sub-100 Hz tones were weak and lacking in similar passage of music.
I spoke with a Cust. Service rep, Kevin, about other options. My new plan is to get the nicely-priced Q-Logic/Q-Customs dual-10" box, plant a nice 500W 2-Ohm amp in the back and run 2 SVC 4-Ohm subs in parallel. Should give me the low end and the oomph I'm looking for. Thoughts on that setup?
The Q-Customs box (link to product) allows for a top mounting depth of 5" for the subs. These guys all fit the bill (comparison), any feedback on my potential choices? I'm would LOVE to get some JL Audio in my truck. I have owned a Polk sub in a previous truck and was largely unimpressed when feeding it 300W from a Kenwood 2-ch bridged amp, so I'm not thrilled to look at Polk again, but I'm open to the idea. Thanks in advance!
Your expectations were too great.
I do not believe you correctly understand how speaker specifications are rated.
A person looking for the kind of bass obtained with a 500 watts dual subwoofer setup should not be looking at an 8" powered sub.
Mine works great for the purpose I am using it. It is set to lowpass at 80 hz and is doing so nicely. The rearview mirror trembles and the bass is not distorted.
Because my name is on the business, I work hard to make sure you get the best possible shopping experience. I look forward to hearing your comments .

Please join us for the International Conference Frontiers in Systems and Synthetic Biology '13 (FSSB'13), which we will hold March 20-24, 2013 on Georgia Tech's campus in Atlanta, Georgia. With this conference we celebrate the rapid progress in the computational analysis and manipulation of biological systems and highlight as one of the cross-cutting themes the role, advancements and applications of Biochemical Systems Theory as one of the contributors to this progress.
FSSB'13 will be held in a single-track fashion and allow plenty of discussion among all participants. The program will consist of invited and contributed presentations, poster sessions, an interactive session on education, and a panel discussion. These activities will be organized in four topical areas:
Topic 1: Novel Methods of Systems Biology
Model design and identification
Simulation systems
Design and operating principles
Topic 2: Novel Methods of Synthetic Biology
Computational and experimental methods
Gene circuits
Molecular dynamics
Topic 3: Applications of Systems and Synthetic Biology
Microbial systems
Metapopulations from the microbiome to terrestrial and oceanic biosystems
Metabolic engineering
Applications in higher organisms
Topic 4: Education and Science Communication
Undergraduate education
Graduate education
What do postdocs in systems and synthetic biology need to know?
Two special events will be the following:
- The educational session will be organized in an interacting fashion that will highlight how knowledge in systems and synthetic biology can be acquired by young scientists and newcomers with diverse backgrounds and how it can be communicated effectively.
- Toward the end of the conference, we will hold a panel discussion addressing the following questions:
- Do large-scale simulations help us understand how a biological system functions?
- Do we need to understand design principles to succeed in systems and synthetic biology?
- What needs to be done to move systems biology forward and how can it inform synthetic biology and metabolic engineering
To initiate this discussion, three leading experts will give brief presentations. Afterwards, the audience is requested to contribute to the discussion. It is hoped that the frank discussion of these types of probing questions will enable students and junior researchers to put the conference presentations into perspective and to align their own niches within this exciting new field of biology.

Posted by Nate Elliott on October 17, 2011
I've noticed a disturbing trend in one of the markets I study. Thirty percent of marketers say their top social media goal is creating brand impact, but only 10% tell us they measure brand impact — a gap of 20 percentage points. But then while just 4% say sentiment or engagement are their top goals, a whopping 26% measure these numbers —leaving us with an almost identical gap of 22 percentage points, but in the other direction. It's clear what's happening here: Marketers are using sentiment and engagement numbers as a proxy for brand impact surveys.
Deep down I love the idea of measurement proxies. A properly constructed and proven proxy could be a cheap, quick, and effective stand-in for direct measurement of things that are quite frankly hard to measure — like brand impact.
But there's a big problem here: I've been looking pretty hard for good measurement proxies for a while now, and I've found very few that could be described as "properly constructed and proven." And I'm pretty sure none of the marketers in our survey have proven their proxies — because if they'd tried, they'd have almost certainly failed.

Mr. Blade. Is there a way for you to send that direct to my email so I can forward it to the editor of my local fish wrap?
Get this. I live in S.W. Florida. The home of contraband and all things politically INcorrect.
The local paper has a ChiCom broad by way of Seattle as Editor. An obese Bostonian as Editorial Page Editor and an empty SummersEve box from Ponce, PR as Community Editor.

I'd seen that just before you posted it BB,,funny shit,, for sure. I loved the looks on some of the representatives faces in the background,,,,, And they all knew they they didn't have a leg to stand on when it came to a common sense response to his comments,,,,

Absolutely awesome!!!
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller
He gets it.

Elderly Woman Helps Church Member, Becomes Theft Victim
Police Say Man Stole Debit Card From Good Samaritan
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - An elderly woman is the victim of identity theft after she tried to help a man from her church.
Colorado Springs police said Essie Garner was arrested Saturday after he stole money from the Good Samaritan who tried to help him. Kathryn Young, 78, said she met Garner at the Salvation Army Church where she volunteers.
"I just couldn't believe it," said Young of the theft charges. "I was still in shock when he was walking out of here with handcuffs."
Young said she got a call from her bank that $2,000 had been transferred from her loan account to her checking, and there had been several ATM withdrawals. Police said Garner was caught on camera taking out money, and admitted he stole Young's debit card.
Young said she had been warned by her pastor about offering Garner her spare room as he looked for a job. She said she has been burned before by people she offered to help, but still felt compelled to do it.
"God tells us in the Bible that he's given each of us a plan to fulfill in our life, I'm still trying to find it," said Young.
She said, this time, she's learned her lesson, and has promised her daughter she'll never take in a stranger again. But she said, despite what happened, she'll keep looking for ways to help those who need it.
"I'll keep trying to do good, that hasn't bittered me," said Young. "I was always taught that everybody has at least one little bit of good in them, and I always look for it."
KRDO Newschannel 13 found out that Essie Garner has a long criminal past in El Paso County. He's been convicted of assault, criminal mischief and several fraud and theft charges.
Young said she has fraud protection on her debit card so she's hoping to to get all of her money back. Besides being careful about who you trust, there are other things you can do to protect your money and information.
