Rockford Fosgate continues to develop progressive sound technologies. Their aim to produce a smaller amplifier, with all the power and clarity you expect from the Punch name.
The award-winning "Dynamic Thermal Management" 3-stage cooling system uses forced air to dissipate heat evenly across the amp and out through the heatsink. The internal components in these compact amps stay cooler, resulting in higher efficiency and lower distortion. You get more installation options, without sacrificing wattage or audio quality.
MEHSA is a Rockford Fosgate proprietary process that increases the heat transfer from the MOSFET devices to the heatsink. This allows the heat to escape more readily from the amplifier, so that the transistors stay cooler.
The P400-1 mono amplifier dispenses up to 400 watts RMS to your subwoofer or speaker system, and you can tailor the sound with variable-frequency high- and low-pass filters. The onboard variable bass boost lets you add some low-frequency punch to compensate for your car's acoustics. An optional wired remote control lets you tweak the sound from the front seat for quick adjustments while you're on the road.
I first purchased a jl 300-1 and was told its was a great amp, I used it for a week and wasn't pleased at all. So I tried the punch 4001-1 and it straight up smashed the JL amp by miles the same system just changed the amp and now I love my system.

Full-Range Mono-Amplifier: The Rockford Fosgate Punch 400-1 is a mono-amplifier that is capable of powering either subwoofers or full-range speakers and features an all-pass, high-pass, or low-pass crossover filter.
Cast Aluminum Heatsink: The cast aluminum heatsink dissipates heat generated by the amplifier's circuitry. The inherent advantage of casting provides a 30% improvement of cooling over conventional extrusion heatsink designs.
Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM): DTM Evenly distributes excess heat across entire amplifier heatsink.
MEHSA³ (Maximum Efficiency Heat Sink Application-Third Generation): MEHSA is a Rockford Fosgate proprietary process that increases the heat transfer from the MOSFET devices to the heatsink. The multi-layer insulated metal MEHSA substrate operates with minimal thermal resistance, spreading heat both downward and outward to quickly dissipate heat from each device across the heatsink. This allows greater power output, enhanced thermal stability, and maximum reliability.
Trans-ANA (TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier): Trans-ANA is a circuit that allows the audio signal to pass through the amplifier at low voltage. The signal is directly level-shifted to the fixed high voltage rails via a pair of drive transistors. Signal linearity is assured by an active node formed by the drive transistors at ultrasonic frequencies. The result is crystal clear sound quality.
NOMAD (NOn-Multiplying Advanced Decision): NOMAD is an intelligent protection circuit that uses an analog computer to make real time decisions regarding temperature, voltage, current and impedance. The unit is protected without limiting sound output unless needed.
TO-247 MOSFET: The Punch 400-1 utilizes ultra high performance MOSFET output devices, giving the amplifier more power handling capability as well as lower thermal impedance for more reliable operation, even under the harshest load conditions.
DSM (Discrete Surface Mount): In the manufacturing process high speed robotics are used to place 1% tolerance parts and large board traces. DSM improves the efficiency of the circuit, decreases cross-talk from other discrete components and lowers operating temperature.
Power and Protection LEDs: The LEDs are located on top of the amplifier. A blue Power LED illuminates when the amplifier is turned on. A red Thermal LED illuminates if the amplifier overheats. The yellow Protect LED illuminates if a short circuit or too low an impedance is detected at the speaker connections. When any of the protection circuits engage, the amp automatically shuts down until the problem is corrected.
Internal Crossover: The amplifier's internal crossover has a 12 dB/octave slope. It's selectable for high-pass, all-pass (full range), or low-pass operation and is variable from 50Hz to 500Hz.
Punch EQ: Punch EQ works along with the crossover switch. When the crossover is set to low-pass, the Punch EQ acts as a variable bass boost; 0-18 dB at 45 Hz. When the crossover is set to high-pass, the Punch EQ acts as variable treble boost, 0-12 dB at 12 kHz. When the crossover is set to all-pass, both the bass and treble boost circuits are active.
Power Connections: The power and ground terminals are nickel-plated captive c-clamp wire connectors and will accommodate up to 4-gauge wire. An external 60-amp fuse (not included) must be installed on the power wire. If a wiring kit is used which includes a fuse with a value other than 60-amps, the original should be replaced with a 60-amp fuse. The remote turn-on terminal will accept wire sizes of 12- to 24-gauge. A Phillips-head or slotted screwdriver (not supplied) is required to tighten/loosen the terminals.
Differential Input: Differential input circuitry measures the voltage of both the positive (+) and negative (-) portions of the input signal, subtracting the voltage common to both conductors (noise); resulting in a cleaner signal. Reducing the noise on the input then improves the sound quality of the output.
Dual Speaker Terminals: : The Punch mono-amplifier features two pair of speaker output terminals so you can easily connect two 4-ohm speakers to the amplifier in a 2-ohm load configuration. The two pair of nickel-plated clamp wire connectors will accept 8-gauge to 18-gauge wire. A Phillips-head or slotted screwdriver (not supplied) is required to tighten/loosen the terminals.
Remote Punch EQ (PEQ) Connection: An RJ-45 jack is provided for connecting an optional remote PEQ control (575ROCKPEQ, sold separately). If you use the remote PEQ, the Punch EQ control on the amp is disabled, and replaced by the remote.
Note: Previous model Punch Bass and Para-Punch remotes will not work with this amp.
At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team. They verify what's in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.
Thanks for your question. This amp would work with component speakers (it will do the full frequency range), but is really better suited for connection to a subwoofer. For information on selecting the best amp for your system I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to help determine the differences between the amp models and help you make the best choice for your system. [ Jeff Mar 13, 2014 ] Staff

HD format war is over. I liked this DAV system from the first sight, but lucks Blu-ray support. Slow reaction/respond from SONY...
Yes but there's a still a huge market for DVD players and systems - Blu-ray is miniscule in comparison. Most people have big DVD collections and the F200's 1080p upscaling helps people make the most of them. I imagine Sony will continue making DVD systems for years to come. But in any case, if you want a Blu-ray system, then Sony has launched one (the HTP-BD2RSF).
What are the actual dimensions of the sub-woofer? I cant find these details anywhere...
After a bit of research and your review, I purchased the Sony DAVF200. No buyers' remorse here. I replaced my space hogging, 5.1 LG LH-W760IA, which just turned three years old. What really sold me on the Sony was the the S-Master Digital Amplifier. A couple of years ago I bought a Sony CMT-CPZ2 micro system stereo powered by the S-Master@2X75 watts, simply excellent sound. The DAVF200@405 watts is even better. Playing A DVD, Listening to FM or a CD is pleasing both to the eye and ear. The LG system was good, but not in any way better, in playing a DVD, But it's purported 700 watts, couldn't hold a candle to the Sony DAVF200 when it came to listening to a CD, FM radio or The television. There is simply no comparison to the depth and clarity of sound.
No, I no longer have 5.1 sounds behind my head(only a hint of 5.1), but the trade off, at least for me, is totally in my favour. Watching a DVD is crystal clear, with great sound and listening to a CD or FM is once again enjoyable.
Negligible drawbacks I had to adjust to, were adjusting my TV bank to compensate for the vertical height of the main panel and the CD,DVD ejector being on the right side of the unit. Also, I gave up trying to gather in the wires and cable in the back of the unit and securing them with the ties and bracket.
All in all, an incredibly good system at an affordable price. through the years I've found that rarely can you go wrong with Sony products. No, I don't work for them. In apology to LG, while my LG 5.1 looked good but performed poorly, my LG 42" LCD Looks good and performs wonderfully.
In closing, I'd like to thank you folks, at Trusted Reviews for helping me, in making a sensible and non-regrettable purchase.
You asked for sub-woofer measure Amit.
They are 200 x 640 x 640 mm (aproks.).
I see that everyone is delighted with the system; from my experience it significantly lacks in power (bas especially) and sound details. I have to say that after reading your opinions I am beginning to think mine should be taken to the dealer to see if everything is OK with it.

2005 Gerard Boulay Monts Damnes Sancerre
Retail: $39.99
$29.98per bottle
Product Description:
"A conscientious grower with a growing collection of old vines, Boulay's wines - while delicious in youth - can be riveting after 7-12 years. Sourced from old vines in a steep site which a retiring vigneron in 2004 offered Boulay the opportunity to begin farming, the 2005 Sancerre Mont Damnes smells alluringly of honeysuckle and lime, comes to the palate creamy in texture, with a lush mingling of lime, pink grapefruit and honey that is almost late-harvest in character, and finshes with a hint of sweetness backing succulent honeydew melon and sorbet-like grapefruit. Unlike its Clos de Beaujeu sibling, this is possessed of both a cooling, minty streak and a considerable impression of chalky, salty minerality. Boulay's having retained in tank and then blended back a portion of Mont Damnes has helped it retain cut and freshness for the vintage." -
"Bright straw. Incisive citrus, quince, fresh herb and mineral aromas are pure and expansive. Deeply concentrated as well as energetic, with medium body, chewy texture and powerful orchard and citrus fruit flavors enlivened by zesty minerality. Finishes on a tangy lemon zest note, with mouthwatering acidity and outstanding length." - 92 Points - Josh Raynolds - Stephen Tanzer's IWC

Quarterback Jordan Luallen emerged as a burst of energy offensively in recent weeks and created a special conclusion to a circuitous college career.
CINCINNATI - Jordan Luallen can easily be spotted on the sideline. Screaming, jumping and trash-talking. Hugging, waving and high-fiving.
His excitement level could only be matched by the mascot, maybe. Coach's attempted to calm him down in the past, but with little effectiveness. Players don't bother.
"I think people try to at first but then realize I am just kind of in my own zone," Luallen said.
After a touchdown run at Memphis Luallen offered a shush to the crowd.
"I don't know what I was thinking," he said. "It just happened."
Luallen's intensity explosion doesn't stem from crushing Five-Hour Energys in the locker room or a last-minute weight-room party pump. Enthusiasm begins the business of affecting the game in any way possible.
"That's just my personality, too," he said. "I want to be very involved in everything. Whether it's me playing or cheering on my teammates I feel a very big part of this team and this program. I put a lot of time and effort into it. Regardless of whether I am going to play or not that's just who I am."
Lately, his sideline persona took on a different feel.
For a player who transferred schools, dropped weight, added weight, evolved as a leader and unselfishly learned five different positions in hopes of an opportunity to help the team win on the field, Luallen treats Saturdays like they have been half a decade of unrecognized labor in the making.
Because that's what they are.
Luallen exited Center Grove High School (Ind.) expecting make an impact as the No. 22 ranked quarterback in the country by ESPN.com. His reputation began with running skills as a quarterback, so he headed to Georgia Tech with their triple-option offense. He'd eventually transfer to UC eventually playing quarterback, wide receiver, linebacker, tight end and fullback.
He'd experience brief flashes of opportunity, but for the most part relegated to head cheerleader duty again this year as a tight end/fullback on a spread attack. That is, until the last three weeks.
Offensive coordinator Eddie Gran inserted a wildcat package into the offense with Luallen at the helm spelling Brendon Kay. Experiment evolved into effectiveness instantaneously. Over the last three games he's rushed 27 times for 151 yards at 5.6 yards per carry. Only Tion Green has rushed for more yards over that span (153).
Luallen also hit 5 of 6 passes for 72 yards. He's contributed a touchdown (one rushing, one passing) in each of the last two games.
"For all the stuff I have gone through, all the position changes, I don't know for everyone else but it means a little bit more to me," Luallen said. "A lot of these guys, some of my teammates, have been able to be successful since Day 1. I've had to work five years to be able to get consistent playing time for three games."
The firebrand off the field assumed the same role on it.
"He's always a spark," linebacker Greg Blair said. "He's always being vocal when we need a spark being a crazy dude on the sideline."
Saturday against SMU Luallen will take the field for Senior Day ceremonies as one of the most under appreciated models of what made Universtiy of Cincinnati football a household name.
The AFCA named Luallen to their 22-member All-Good Works team in September. He was the first Bearcats player to receive the honor. A regular in the community, member of the 2012 Big East All-Academic team and a player whose taken mission trips to Nicaragua and other countries, he's developed a full-circle education beyond football.
You can find Luallen hours before kickoff leading the team prayer at midfield. You'll find him this summer collecting his Masters and - he hopes -- beginning his career as a strength coach. He and his girlfriend even hope to one day adopt a child from Haiti.
There's college athletes who do everything right and then there's Luallen. Only, many role models aren't rewarded with more than a pat on the back and excellence in leadership award. Until three weeks ago Luallen stood in the express lane for the same fate. His time on the field Saturday would end with hugs for his parents following pregame ceremonies.
Instead, Luallen takes on the role of offensive spark in the Bearcats critical final month run toward a possible American title. His path to this moment weaved circuitously and with a pit stop at two schools and five positions but concludes the way he hoped from the beginning: Making plays as a college quarterback.
"It's definitely not anything I expected," Luallen said. "Kind of brought everything full circle, so that has been kind of cool being able to end my career where everything started. It wouldn't feel as good now if I hadn't gone through what I've gone through. Had I done this from the beginning, yeah, it would be cool. But it definitely wouldn't be nearly as satisfying for me to end my football career having some success."

Nov. 19, 2013
PITTSBURGH – University of Pittsburgh head softball coach Holly Aprile has announced the signings of Kayla Harris and McKayla Taylor to National Letters of Intent. The duo will join the Panthers in the Fall of 2014.
"We are thrilled to welcome McKayla and Kayla to the Pitt Softball family! Our goal is to recruit outstanding student-athletes who will fit our culture both on and off the field," Aprile said. "McKayla and Kayla both represent the Pitt ideal very well. They are versatile and athletic competitors with a passion for the game who also hold themselves to a very high standard academically. We are looking forward to their arrival on campus next fall and to supporting their growth and development throughout their respective careers."
Harris hails from Chesapeake, Va. and is a standout for Greenbrier Academy and her club team, the Virginia Legends. A dual threat in the circle and at the plate, Harris led Greenbrier Academy to the 2013 VISAA Division II State Championship title for the second straight season and compiled countless accolades, including: 2013 Max-Preps Softball Small School All-America Team, Virginia Pilot All Tidewater Player of the Year, TCIS Conference Player of the Year and VISAA Division II State Player of the year, among others. She was the conference player of the year and a first team all-state selection in 2012 as well.
Harris' stats were off the charts, batting .494 with 58 RBI, 34 runs and 11 homeruns in 2013. Maybe more impressively, Harris was a perfect 27-0 in the circle with a 0.59 ERA and 285 strikeouts. Dating back to the 2012 season, Harris was 52-1 in the circle and had 82 hits at the plate.
A native of Cyppress, Calif., Taylor currently attends John F. Kennedy high school and plays her club ball for the Riptide Gold. A sure-handed infielder, Taylor was tabbed the 2013 Empire League Defensive Player of the Year for carrying a .950 fielding percentage. She also produced at the plate as she led Kennedy High in home runs while batting .402.
A multi-talented athlete, Taylor was also a four year starter on the varsity soccer team where she was twice honored with the team's Coaches Award and was the 2012 Offensive Player of the Year.
Before Harris and Taylor join the Pitt softball program next year, the Panthers play their inaugural season in the ACC. Pitt will open the season by participating in the Cal State Fullerton Tournament on Feb. 7-9.

The struggle between Christianity and the Islamic Faith.
History is so often written when religions collide. Different faiths and the intolerance of others to conform to the practice of a certain faith has erupted into violent bloody conflicts all through-out history. It can be said that the Crusades started not because of a culture clash between Christianity and the Muslim faith but, because of the thirst for more power, influence, control and wealth of the Catholic Church and by the nations of the Islamic faith. We have to remember that when two religions each so important to the cultures and way of life of nations clash it is because one leader or another seeks more power, control, and wealth. It is this thirst for power that has instantly created a hotbed of hate which has ignited most of the major wars through-out history. Take for instance, more recently, what happened in Ireland when the Catholics and the Protestants religions ignited a total civil war. Violent assaults continued to escalate in Ireland for years before a peace agreement was reached with the Belfast "Good Friday" Agreement of 1998.
Religion, like politics even though here today in the United States church and state are supposed to be separate but undoubtedly they are so much intertwined that there is no escaping the fact that one has influence on the other. When we take a close look at all the terrorists attacks that have set the world on fire because of a faith where a leader is seeking more control, power, and wealth from others we should trace back in history to find the root cause. And, from that hopefully find an applicable end to all the carnage that has only continued to escalate today between the Islamic religion and Christianity.
To step back in time and retrace the steps of the Catholic Church in 1090 which was what many historians signal as definitive moment in history that today has manifested into the global terror network we are seeing with the Islamic Extremists. This is when Pope Urban II was gradually losing influence over the rulers of Europe especially Henry VII. Let's not rule out the fact that the Islamic religion where the Muslims were just as thirsty to quench their own thirst for more power, control, and wealth were poised to invade Constantinople. Here we have two distinct entirely different cultures and their own religious beliefs and yet a common denominator of each seeking more power, control, and wealth from the other by any means necessary.
In 1095 Pope, Urban II saw an opportunity to regain more power and authority for himself when the Greek orthodox church in Constantinople implored the Pope to come to their aid. Constantinople at the time was on the verge of being overtaken by the advancing Muslim army. As a result Alexius, the head of the eastern church (the Byzantine Empire) asked for and got military aid from the Pope. It was the Pope in seizing the moment to act to gain more power and influence by soliciting all to come to join forces in a spiritual war against the Muslims. When the Pope offered all those who would join redemption of sins and guaranteed salvation was a major influence for thousands to fight the Islamic nations. When he decreed "as Christ's heralds come to aid those Christians and destroy that vile race those infidels from the lands of our friends, Christ commands it" was a focal point that triggered one of histories most horrific acts of mayhem and bloodshed upon another religious faith and culture. It is said that the term infidel can be traced back to this period in history. Both religions used the term infidel believing that each religion had it's own ideology that theirs was the one true religion and all others who did not practice it were considered an infidel, a non believer. The end result was death and destruction for both Muslims and Christians. The mass carnage when the First Crusade took control of Jerusalem was a testament to the wilfull disregard for life.
What we are seeing today is a extension and a continuation of what was started over nine hundred years ago. The ideologies of two distinctly different faiths and cultures in a world that has only gotten much closer has made that hotbed of hate and indignation flare up into a firestorm of flames of destruction and death. The intolerance by individuals for other cultures and beliefs have manifested into the horrific carnage we are witness to practically everyday.
It was just recently that the African nations where different religious beliefs are interwoven into societies one religious faction has used violent means to dictate and impose their doctrine upon all others. The recent mass murder of innocent school children in Nigeria is just a continuing assault by extreme religious groups imposing their radical ideology upon unsuspecting victims. A totally barbaric assault that just is another escalation and extension of more terror inflicted upon humanity. When groups especially the Islamic Extremists whose own ideology is so radical use such horrendous hideous acts of wanton terror in slaughtering innocent lives continues to show that the world is still reverting back to the cave of the Neanderthal.
It is these types of violent atrocities which should be a wake up call to all heads of state that rouge insurgents are hell bent on imposing their reshaped ideologies upon who ever doesn't conform to their own radical rule of thought. The cultures of nations have only confounded and complicated the rational of societies. Today, what we are seeing is the Islamic religion and culture is almost the complete opposite of the American society and way of life. The evolution, if you want to call it that, into a society that has relinquished many moral values that the Islamic faith still hold dear has only exasperated the continuing conflicts between nations and existing cultures.
The world is getting to small to handle all the violent wilfull carnage against one another. When intolerance of different religious beliefs continues to escalate into bloodshed, where nations cannot realize that humanity has the abilities capable of doing extraordinary things for the betterment of mankind, when we don't realize that each human being is a unique individual, and when religious beliefs of individuals don't conform to the rest of a society beliefs all contribute to the on going struggle to find answers to stop individuals from using violent means to impose their will on others.

On the ranch, John Grady joins up with Billy Parham, and the two form an abiding friendship. Though Parham is much more a realist, he finds himself drawn further into Grady's dreams, namely a beautiful teenaged Mexican whore whom John Grady is determined to release from bondage and to marry. Through physical injuries, personal trauma, and many dangerous trips across the Mexican border, the two young men struggle to do what they think will make things right. A full cast of cowboys, landowners, barkeeps, pimps, and desperate whores set the stage for the final curtain call on the American West. (running time 3 hours, 2 cassettes) --Colleen Preston

Distilled vinegar to go up in price?
I was wondering if distilled vinegar will be going up in price. It seems to be a good standard item that many of us have on hand for various uses since it is so inexpensive. But I read that in the US it is made from corn.
Just wondering if this is another item that will be affected.

To make a great cleaner take orange peels,stuff them in a jar and cover with white vinegar and cap jar.Let it sit for at least 10 days then strain into a spray bottle.The smell of the vinegar has completely gone,and you are left with a citrus smelling all purpose cleaner.08-12-2012, 02:05 PM #6

text: America has many military personnel that are or have returned home from combat only to find they have no longer have a job. So here is a possible solution that will serve many purposes. The Department of Homeland Security could hire these personnel as armed security guards at schools, certain events, etc. What better way for Homeland Security to spend the money rather that buying an underwater robot for Columbus, Ohio which has virtually no lakes or waterways, or some of the other asinine things they gave money to other communities to buy. Now our military people have jobs and are schools will be safer. Just a thought........ :blink:

I'm happy to announce that Vanessa De Vargas of Turquoise will be dropping as our West Coast Correspondent contributing a post or two each week!

Four Roses Thoroughbreds' Silver Wagon became the beneficiary of a wicked speed duel and won the $300,000 Carter Handicap (gr. I) by 1 1/4 lengths with a late rally on the far outside Saturday.
The well traveled 6-year old added the Carter to his victory earlier this year in the General George Handicap (gr. II) at Laurel while topping the $1 million mark in career earnings.
"The pace worked out really good," Javier Castellano said after riding his first Carter winner. "They went very, very fast. It was a key to the race because it set up perfectly for me."
Less than half hour after a paceless Wood Memorial (gr. I), there was a scramble for early supremacy in the Carter. Fastest of all was Latent Heat, who ripped off fractions of :21.76 and :44.34 while flanked by Kazoo to his inside and the 2-1 favorite, Keyed Entry, to his outside. To his credit, Latent Heat got far the better of those two rivals, but once he shook them and turned for home he had little left.
Diabolical was first to get there, but Silver Wagon soon followed, sweeping right by to take the winners' share of $180,000 in a time of 1:21.46. Diabolical, ridden by Cornelio Velasquez took second by three quarters of a length. Ah Day, who was last early, passed the three speedsters and finished third under Mario Pino.
"He's been training lights out since we got him back from Florida," said winning trainer Richard Dutrow Jr., whose brother Anthony won the Bay Shore (gr. III) with Bill Place two races earlier and was the trainer of record when Silver Wagon won the General George. "Down there, he didn't want to train. As soon I get him back here, he runs to the track. I just can't figure it out."
For Velasquez, the near miss on Diabolical cost him his third consecutive stakes win on the day. "The horse was very good down the stretch. I looked outside and saw Javier coming. My horse dug in, but was just not good enough today."
Silver Wagon, who won the Sports Page (gr. III) over the Aqueduct course Nov. 4, improved his lifetime record to 7-3-6 in 24 starts with earnings of $1,159,193. The gray horse by Wagon Limit has won five of 12 tries at the seven-furlong distance.
Dutrow said Silver Wagon will "without a doubt" be pointed to the Metropolitan Handicap (gr. I) at Belmont Park May 28. To his backers the third choice paid $6.90, $3.70, $3.00. Diabolical returned $5.70, $3.80. Ah Day's show return was $4.10. Latent Heat, Keyed Entry and Kazoo trailed. Wild Jam scratched.

Mile Jedinak knows some people have already written off Australia at the World Cup but says his experience at Crystal Palace proves shocks are always possible.
The midfielder was appointed Australia captain yesterday after a stellar season as skipper at Palace, who staged a remarkable revival in the second half of the campaign to finish 11th in the Premier League.
Australia's task in taking on world champions Spain, Holland and Chile in the group stage in Brazil next month is one that would challenge any country but Jedinak believes they are able to produce a surprise.
"If this season was any indication for me, all I'll say to you is we were written off every week," Jedinak said. "We were always supposed to get a hiding — we all know how that turned out. Surprises can happen."

Few things on this Earth make me happier than an awesome collaboration. When word hit of the MAC x Archie's Girls Collection I was bouncing in my seat. How fun! Such a sordid love triangle between Archie, Betty and Veronica surely makes for fabulous makeup!
Each side of the launch, Betty and Veronica, has a limited edition Pearlmatte Face Powder. Veronica has Veronica's Blush and Betty has Flatter Me, which is the product we'll be focusing on for this post.
What the MAC website says about Archie's Girls Pearlmatte Face Powder:
Love is in the details with all-new Pearlmatte Face Powder combining pearlized and satin shades to achieve an array of looks. Hearts are adorably stamped onto the base. Effortlessly blends with a rich and creamy texture. Use for highlighting and blush effects or as an Eye Shadow with a velvet-smooth finish. Limited-edition Archie's Girls packaging.
Flatter Me has a Golden peach base (Shell Pearl Beauty Powder) with coral hearts (Foolish Me Powder Blush). The shade of the combined colors provides a soft sheen to the cheeks and is certainly buildable in color.
Flatter Me is definitely my top choice from the entire collection. My favorite way to wear this is on top of Cream Soda Powder Blush from the same collection.
For more information on this collection, please see the Official Press Release.
MAC Archie's Girls Pearlmatte Face Powder retails for $30.00 and is available at your local MAC counter (try Nordstrom, Macy's, Bloomingdales) or store as well as online at maccosmetics.com.

AC working but heat won't shut off on passenger side
I would guess that there is a valve somewhere that controls the flow off coolant to a little radiator that supplies heat to the passenger side and that the valve is not operating correctly. So much for my guess, What should I check first? Where is it? What does it look like?
I have the same problem and I see no one with a solution. The majority of All of the threads are questions and no answers. Why is this and they are years old. Why.
Ac unit not blowing cool air on passenger side
Here is the solution to your ac problem with the passenger side not working. The AC unit has a default switch when the Freon level is low. This default switch will provide cool air to the drivers side and push hot air to the passenger side. This way when the Freon is low the driver will not be hit with hot air blowing in their face which will cause them to pass out.
I added Freon and everything works great now. Please ensure you use the lower connection which is also identified as the fatter line when inputting the Freon. Hope this helps.
Thanks for posting your resolution...as you indicated, many times... members for some reason don't post back with their outcome. Those that do...is what makes these forums great resources for owners...the forum is only as good as the collective...so again, thanks for adding back some value. :)

they really need an updater like windows update. I guess it would make it easier for the hackers to jailbreak and unlock, because they could just have a look through to see all the changes.

I've got around forty apps installed through Cydia, installer and Appstore. I don't perticualy want to have to re-install everything again (although I Will) when DEV's sort FW2.0,2 out.
I am quite familuar with SSH, what would I need to back up apart from application folder to be able to transfer the

Or is this not an option.

Someone should compress the ipsw files..
They pretty much are compressed- thats why you have to unzip them to edit them.
he's saying he used quickpwn with a downloaded 2.0.1 file after upgrading to to 2.0.2. I'll try now and post back
so can you quickpwn a 2.02 with a2.01 file?
It seems that texting is much smoother than it was before. I'm gonna text like crazy and see if it starts getting messed up again .
Edit: So far so good with the texting, only a millisecond hitch with long word corrections.
Shutdown time: ~16 seconds

Absolutely fantastic, could not have asked for better! Very caring as I was a wreck! Giovanni and Amrick.
The service provided was excellent, efficient and nothing was too much trouble. The removals crew (Andy J, Andy L, Cookie & Presto) were absolutely brilliant, everything moved and reconstructed quickly and efficiently, and importantly, without a single scratch, scrape or breakage.
You can't [improve the service]. The lads removing were brilliant. I very rarely meet such good service. Billy and the lads were all really helpful, friendly and courteous. The move was delayed and they had to stay late, on a Friday evening and not one of them complained. I couldn't speak highly enough of them.
Out of a number of similar companies I contacted, the person who answered the phone was by far the most warm, polite and helpful. Although it was one of the most reasonably-priced quotes we had, the main reason for choosing Britannia Bradshaw was that from the very first phone call, we had the sense we could trust your company. When it comes to having your possessions shipped overseas, that trust is more important than small differences in price.
We contacted Britainnia Bradshaw several times before being visited for a quote. Each time, staff were kind and helpful, going out of their way to be helpful and reassuring. They were a main reason we chose to go with Brittania Bradshaw. They were fantastic. It took four people working a very long day to get us packed, moved and unpacked. Even in the final hour, they were hard-working, kind to our children and incredibly professional. Great service, a competitive quote and willing to work with our tight timeframe for a move.
The whole day went very well, we were very impressed how the men moved all our belongings so quick and efficiently, with no breakages or damage to our belongings. The move was far better than we thought it would be. No improvements required by us.
Tony and Andy were both extremely helpful. They were very polite and courteous and made the move less stressful for us. They were so organised and very quickly packed all our belongings into the van with such expertise. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
The team arrived early introduced themselves to me individually. Very efficient and took great care in packing my belongings. Very impressed with their hard work and professionalism. Credit to the company in my opinion based on my experience.
Moving home never stress free. But working with Britannia Bradshaw has ensured that the logics packing, storing and moving were a breeze. Everyone I dealt with was not only professional, but took a real interest in understanding my requirements and meeting them. I couldn't be happier. I'll definitely recommend your services and keep your number to hand - though I do hope I'll have a breather before I need to call you again :)
Spoke to Lynne and she was so helpful as I had been in touch with another local firm who were not good in understanding your needs. Lynne knew all the answers to my questions first class thank you Lynne.
My wife and I have not got words to say what a fantastic crew we had they worked so hard and the professional way that they worked was unbelievable. Nothing was any problem to them and they were a pleasure to have been with on this day, they made this move and took all our stress away from us. We would like you to personally thank the three lads which we had the pleasure of meeting they were : Marcin Niedziela, Julian Jackson, Kamil Lesniak. All were 100% 10 out 10

People have died from tobacco-related diseases since the opening of the first FCTC working group on 28 October 1999.
Alternative Livelihoods and Environments: The Facts
Tobacco is grown in more than 120 countries on more than 4 million hectares of the world's agricultural land. [1] While the amount of tobacco cultivated in developed countries is steadily decreasing, cultivation in developing countries has increased significantly, with hundreds of thousands of small farmers encouraged and supported by the tobacco industry to take up cultivation of a crop that is labour and input intensive and brings a host of health and environmental dangers, 'without the slightest promise of wealth'. [2]
The World Health Organization (WHO) cites studies indicating that if the land taken up by tobacco cultivation was devoted to food production, it could feed between 10 and 20 million people. [3] Thus, WHO states that 'hunger and malnutrition are made worse when countries use scarce land for tobacco production'. [3] Incentives offered by the tobacco industry, such as ready supply of agricultural inputs and the promise of guaranteed crop sales, push farmers in the developing world towards growing tobacco rather than traditional food crops. Yet most small tobacco farmers find that they make barely enough money to eat.
Tobacco cultivation harms the health of farming communities. [5] Tobacco is a very sensitive plant prone to many diseases, requiring large and frequent applications of pesticides, which expose farmers to a range of risks that include genetic damage, nausea, muscle twitching and convulsions, respiratory problems, kidney damage, and skin and eye irritation. The absorption of nicotine into the skin of those who tend tobacco crops causes 'green tobacco sickness', the symptoms of which include nausea, vomiting, weakness, dizziness, headaches, abdominal cramps, and breathing difficulties. Tobacco cultivation also has negative impacts on the environment, including depletion of soil nutrients, pollution from pesticides and fertilisers, and serious deforestation (due to land clearance for tobacco cultivation and use of wood to cure tobacco leaves), which contributes to adverse climate change. [6]
The dramatic increase in tobacco production in developing countries has contributed to a fall in world prices for tobacco. [7] While financial returns for large tobacco manufacturers have increased with an oversupply of cheap tobacco leaf and an ever more technologically advanced manufacturing process, the profitability of tobacco growing has decreased significantly. [8] Tobacco growing is highly labour and input intensive, and many small tobacco farmers are trapped in cycles of poverty and debt. Tobacco is often grown on a credit system (whereby agricultural inputs are provided by a tobacco company and the farmer is obliged to sell all of the tobacco leaf to the company, at set prices which are sometimes lower than the value of the initial 'loans', until the 'debt' is paid off). Whole families, including children, are required to devote their time to the care of tobacco seedlings and the harvesting and curing of leaves. Children working with tobacco are placed at high risk of injury and illness, and are denied vital educational opportunities that could help lift them out of poverty. [9]
The notion that tobacco cultivation is highly profitable has been propagated by the tobacco manufacturing industry, which has for decades 'encouraged countries and families to grow tobacco, claiming that it will bring them prosperity'. [10] Emerging studies show that there are a range of alternatives to tobacco growing that are likely to be more economically viable for small farming families and less harmful to farmers' health and to the environment. Research indicates that many tobacco farmers would like to switch to alternatives, but that they often face considerable challenges, including access to credit, markets, technical assistance, inputs and skills, and roads and other public infrastructure. Initiatives to diminish these barriers, protected from interference by the tobacco industry, will assist small farmers in securing long-term sustainable livelihoods. [11]

Parking, public transport major concerns for retailers
Parking, accessibility and public transport are the key factors affecting local retailers in Malta's primary commercial districts, according to 23 per cent of operators, a PricewaterhouseCoopers study has found.
Despite these concerns, most retailers believe business will be positive or stable this year after reporting a slower or flat season between December and January.
Information for the barometer of retail market sentiment was collected during the third week of March among the food and beverage, clothing, ICT, cultural and recreational retail business community in Valletta, Sliema, Ħamrun and Paola.
Retailers in these shopping districts also cited competition, customer spending ability and utility costs among the factors affecting their activity.
The barometer reveals Christmas activity slowed considerably in Paola, where 56 per cent of respondents said December to January sales were down compared to 2011; 53 per cent of Ħamrun retailers reported a decrease in business, followed by Valletta (49 per cent) and Sliema (40 per cent).
The negative sentiment in Paola and Ħamrun appears to linger for the rest of this year. In Paola, 44 per cent of retailers have a negative outlook, while 37 per cent are confident about the year's prospects. In Ħamrun, 42 per cent are negative with 29 per cent expecting flat year-on-year sales. In Sliema, 44 per cent are positive, and 27 per cent expect sales to be the same as last year. In the capital, 35 per cent expect sales levels to remain unchanged, 33 per cent are positive, 25 per cent are negative.
Valletta retailers (36 per cent) are the ones to be most concerned about parking for customers, followed by Sliema (16 per cent). Sliema (27 per cent) and Paola (23 per cent) are the two areas to be most worried about competition.
Paola and Ħamrun are more worried about utility bills (23 and 24 per cent) than Valletta and Sliema (11 and 10 per cent).
Sliema's business also raised the issue of the affect of politics on their business in the wake of the general election – six per cent of Sliema retailers said politics impacted their business, compared to four per cent in Paola, two per cent in the capital, and none at all in Ħamrun.

Seared-Tuna Niçoise Salad with Sesame-Miso Dressing
Here a classic Niçoise salad is reimagined with Japanese flavors, including a delicious miso dressing, black sesame seeds and crispy sheets of nori.
- Total Time:
- Servings: 6
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 pound thin green beans, trimmed
- 1 pound baby potatoes
- 1 pound tuna steak, 3/4 inch thick
- Salt
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 1/4 cup light miso
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 5 ounces tatsoi, baby spinach or mesclun greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 6 small radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 Hass avocado, thinly sliced
- Black sesame seeds, for garnish
- 18 large sheets seasoned nori
How to make this recipe
Put the eggs in a saucepan with cold water and bring to a boil. Cover and let stand off the heat for 10 minutes. Drain and shake the eggs to crack the shells. Fill the pot with cold water and ice; let cool. Peel the eggs and transfer to a plastic bag. Add the mirin and soy sauce and refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and fill a bowl with ice water. Boil the green beans until crisp-tender, 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beans to the ice water, then drain and pat dry. Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and add the potatoes to the ice water to cool slightly. Peel the potatoes and slice 1/3 inch thick.
Preheat a grill pan. Season the tuna with salt; rub with the sesame oil. Grill the tuna over high heat for 3 minutes, turning once, for medium-rare. Let stand for 5 minutes, then slice the tuna.
In a mini food processor, combine the miso, vinegar and mayonnaise. Slowly add the vegetable oil and process the dressing until creamy.
Drain the eggs and halve them. On a large platter, arrange the greens, vegetables, eggs and tuna. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Pass the nori sheets and dressing at the table.
Suggested Pairing
Lively, green apple-scented Spanish Verdejo.

Gas Dryer - Not Heating
Whirlpool Extracare
Checked Lint Filter
Checked Blockage in Exhaust
Checked Gas Valve
Checked Control Panel (Not Fluff)
Tried different heat settings
Still, no heat but it tumbles fine, I just had new belt installed.
It did heat up once for a few minutes then back to cold.
Any help? Here's the rear of the drier.
When you turn it on....after a few seconds you should hear a click. This is the gas valve being energized. If you don't hear the click then start checking the Temp sensors. Depending on your model, you could have 2 to 3 of them. One is over temp....then you should have an under temp...and then maybe 'above' temp...
Open the top cover...there should be a copy of the schematic in there.
I heard the click after a few seconds, this time it had heat coming out the exhaust BUT it did this to me earlier as well then went cold again. Does this sound like a sensor issue?
It went cold again, I unplugged, replugged. Reset dial, restarted, several seconds passed I heard click then some sort of secondary mechanical process occurred with in the unit (perhaps gas valve opening), secondary mechanical process stopped. This time no heat again.
So, does this sound like igniter? If so can the part be appropriated retail?
Replacing Igniter
Just watched a youtube clip, seems straightforward replacing igniter in fire-tube but it had me taking the drum out first and accessing from the front. If you see my original photo there appears to be a back panel with hex nuts. Can I replace igniter here or does it have to be from the front of the unit.
it is not going to be an ignitor issue, most likely solenoids on the gas valve are getting weak. Very common problem they will work for a few minutes and then overheat. If the
I was good replacing the igniter but now it could be a solenoid? At this point I'll call in a pro. I live in Santa Barbara where the cost of living is extraordinarily high so this service call will be a minimum of $200. :( Bummer. It's a Whirlpool Model #LGR6611LQ0. If I definitively knew what to replace I could definitely do it myself but don't have time to troubleshoot. Thanks everybody. I'll post what the actual repair was.
I have a final tidbit on information which may help with identifying the faulty part. I popped the tab of the front of the drier to have a look down the fire-tube. Initially, it glowed bright red and then flame, we had heat! Walked away, checked 10 minutes later no heat. Hit start again, this time the igniter glowed bright red but never caught fire. Does this definitively to a part or part(s) I can order and replace?
Thanks again everybody.
Sounds like the gas solenoid.
I would give all the connections a pull and push...make sure all of your connections are good.
If I was troubleshooting it, I would put a meter on the gas solenoid and watch it. If at any point I have 120Vac but not gas...the solenoid is bad.
replace both the solenoids on the gas valve, they come as a kit, and you will have it fixed. Cost about 30.00

Hempstead, NY - March 11th, 2014 - The Third Squad reports the details of a Robbery Arrest in Hempstead at 11:35am on March 11, 2014.
According to Detectives, at 12:36am two male subjects approached a twenty four year old male victim as he was sitting in the driver's seat of his vehicle that was parked on Meadowbrook Road. The subjects were wearing bandanas over their faces and began to bang on the victim's window. The victim in fear of his safety put his car into reverse colliding with the car behind him which in turn pushed into a third vehicle, belonging to the subjects. The subjects attempted to flee the scene in that vehicle but the accident caused significant damage to all three vehicles. The subjects then fled the scene on foot northbound on Fulton Avenue. No proceeds and no injuries were reported.
On March 11, 2014 both subjects were arrested by Hempstead Police when they filed a police report stating that their vehicle was stolen during a robbery. Arrested for these incidents were Demarrius Jackson, 19, of 839 Statler Road Columbia, South Carolina and Taron Fenner, 18, of 708 Old Manor Road Columbia, South Carolina. Both defendants are each charged with two counts Robbery 2nd Degree, Menacing 2nd Degree and Possession of a Dangerous Weapon 4th Degree. Defendant Fenner is additionally charged with False Written Statement. Both defendants will be arraigned on March 12, 2014 in First District Court 99 Main Street Hempstead.
