It looks good Guvnah. It is good to see that (finally!) someone else has been able to work on the carbs. I like what you are doing.
I noticed the test on your thermowax valve. It is a good method but you need the water to be hotter than what you have. The valve doesn't change much until it hits about 72*C. It needs to be 72*C to 88.8*C to do much. It is worth trying again if you can get it that hot.
I'd like to see if there is an electronic choke available that we could fit onto our carb system. That could make things easier.
Also, a heads up. You might know about this already. After you adjust the sync screw and tighten the lock nut, re-check the balance of the butterfly's. Sometimes when tightening the lock nut, it will throw the synchronization out. Also, it might be a good idea to clean and apply some red RTV or something to the lock nut after you have the final synchronization. On my car, the lock nut came loose and I barely limped the car home to fix it. After I applied red RTV, the synch has not budged.
The sun has finally deigned to shine on Coventry today so I'm going to be re-installing them now here's the question I need an answer to TL;
If you went outside now and took your air filter case off looked down the carb barrels (engine cold and switched off) what position would your choke butterflies be in?
I would expect them to be near enough fully closed i.e. vertical across the barrels and fully impeding the airflow in preparation for its next start up. Would I be right in assuming that? or do the butterflies only assume their cold start position when the ignition switch is turned ON using either stored vacuum or that generated during cranking?? That's what I need to verify mate.
The choke butterfly's are closed (or nearly closed) until the engine temps start to warm up.
Twin Keihins re-installed...
Just the choke butterflies to sync. Same principle as the throttles but without stripping off the springs quadrants et al I decided to set them up by eye/feel. As TripleLude noted the settings of these isn't as critical as the front end. The left hand carb is the fixed item and the right hand one has to be matched to this. Only difference is that instead of a pukka screw/locknut adjuster you alter the angle of the r/h butterfly by closing or opening up a metal 'tang'. In my case the gap in that tang needed to be closed up a tad but just applying random force with a pair of pliers seemed a bit hit or miss. First thing therefore was to measure the slot in the tang = 0.080" http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/9...ingsetting.jpg I then took the 10thou blade out of the stack of feelers, put them back in the slot and compressed the tang onto that so there'd be no chance of over-doing it. A squint at both chokes told me that it was a gnat's knacker away from being spot on so I took the 4 thou blade out as well, repeated the adjustment and that looked good enough for government work. http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/5...eresetting.jpg (n.b. A 'gnat's knacker' is an informal but widely accepted Standard UK engineering measurement roughly equal to 0.25 of a 'tad' or 1/10th of a 'gnat's cock'. Commonly used to express the persuasive index of various weights of hammer!) One thing that does concern me is the state of the choke spindle and its bushings as it passes through the carburettor bodies. There's a few thou free play in all directions. http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/9...okespindle.jpg The spindles are of an engineering plastic so I'm hoping that the wear is in the spindle and not the soft alloy of the carb. It's going to leak air into the carb's front end but how significant is the effect of this going to be? The manual suggests that this condition is enough to render the carb a paperweight! (well it would say that wouldn't it?) If this turns out to be serious then I'll just get the drillings re-sleeved or bushed to take a new spindle, how much is a new carb pair?? $3k+?? Scrap the carb...? my arse!! So now they're ready to drop back in. An hour's work (probably half an hour now I know how to do it and which lines go where) and we're just about there. Re-fill the cooling system, check for anything left in the engine bay, then give the engine a 10 second crank to get some fuel into the lines and drillings. Didn't expect it to fire up first crank... ...and it didn't! lol, Time for a strategic 'technical tea break' and contemplative ciggy. (y' just can't say 'fag' on an American forum without getting into complications) Vac hoses! There's an open stub off the branch manifold, its clean end tells me there's a hose somewhere, aha the one that dissappears down between the two carbs to a tee piece where it splits the vacuum to a sprung diaphragm valve on the base of each float bowl. In the process of finding that I discover a few split ends on a few more vac lines. Out with the side cutters and snip them back 1/2" an re-install. Oops forgot the line to the air control diaphragm on the filter box. Ohhhh....kay then. Another scan for stray tools - all clear - and hit the starter. Nope but the whiff of fuel tells me that mixture is arriving in the chamber/s. Doh! of course, no choking, hasn't run for a week and a half, I need to roll the choke valves shut manually whilst cranking it?? I'm single handing it so fish around in my pocket and find a 20mm electrical grommet. I wedged that in the choke quadrant stop which flipped the butterflies almost shut. This should do it... And she lives! Fired up straight away, knocked my estimated tickover setting back on the throttle stop and she's sitting there burbling happily at 1100rpm. Now I can tell that sounds a whole lot sweeter. there's still a misfire in the mix (I'd always assumed there would be more than one fault) but the difference is marked. I gave her a few minutes to warm through and checked that the top rad hose was full of coolant (haven't bled it yet) and took it for a quick spin. Wow! the difference! Now the pots aren't squabbling over fuel they've got their act together (literally) and she's away like a greased weasel. Haha! Right then a few tubes of ale will be cracked tonight chez Guvnah and a toast to TripleLude. Cheers chap. The Guv.
Congrats and cheers to success.
I laughed at the description of a gnat's knacker. It's good to see success and another carb lude is back on the road.
woww, im glad/shocked to discover 2.0s'
this might be a dumb question but is it possible 2 put a vtec head on our ludes?
VTEC is a fancy way or saying 'valve overlap in higher RPMs'. You can achieve valve overlap with an adjustable cam gear and it's a lot less work. :camper:
I wish I had 10 post so I could see pics
So then; time to get further in and get to the bottom of this misfire. To have a garage mech look this over is going to cost me £40/hour!! and from the blank reactions I've had so far from those who have peered into the engine bay I sense that I could be looking at writing these chancers a blank cheque until they stumble on the actual fault and still there's no guarantee of it being found. So being that I consider everything suspect until it's been proved good I've saved a few shekels and invested in one of these puppies...
Draper 37442 compression tester...
Shot at 2009-09-05
Cost me £27 which is probably what a garage would charge for a comp check but this way I get to keep the tool of course. Seems pointless to try and 'tune out' a fault and if one or more of the pots are low then no amount of carb juggling will effectively compensate. Results to be posted up tomorrow if the weather holds off.
damn, I think that tool should be in every enthusiast's box. Yet, I never thought of getting one. Guess I will then, lol. Oh, and great work Guvnah and TripleLude.
Speaking of which, what should the compression be in a healthy B20a3?
just throwing this out there as i had running issues with my s model before doing the s / si swap. what i found when i removed the engine was that the intake to carb boot had dry rotted and ripped. i think i saved it. if i did i will post up a pic of it. i don't know for sure if that was the only problem with the running of the car, but i do know it was the source of a major vacuum leak. it actually looked like the previous owner tried to remove the carbs and thats what caused the rip.
I always use my dad's compression testing tool. In order to get an accurate reading, you have to open the throttle all the way AND open the choke venturis all the way. If the choke is not open, the reading will be low.
I am not sure what the results should be. My B20a3 has a severely milled head, so the compression is not stock.
Guvnah, what octane fuel have you been using? At the next fill-up, try the highest octane fuel you can buy and see how it runs. Over here in the states we are supposed to run premium (which is 92-93 octane). Keep in mind that there is different octane units of measurement. 93 octane in the states is different from 93 octane in Europe.
So you see...
Shit. In California, we're limited to 91 octane. Unless you go to Allied Fuels. They have 100 octane pump fuel. It's the only place within at least a 60 mile radius that has anything different. There is some places that carry F&L and VP, but god damn are they expensive.
Whatever the reason it would not engage more than a half turn in the plug holes and there was no way I was going to apply anything more than hand pressure unless I want to be picking brass swarf out the cylinders. I did manage to get some kind of seal though so decided to try for a set of readings.
pot 1 - 135psi
pot 2 - 145
pot 3 - 135
pot 4 - 125*
*The abberation on cyl 4 was due to the impossibility of getting a full seal due to the interference from the power steering fluid rail. It just couldn't be aligned dead square and for some reason this plug has always been 'tight'. A tell tale "phhhhwitt" at the top of the stroke whilst cranking must have been that lost 10psi.
The low overall readings were due to the fact that I was single-handed and as TripleLude says the choke and throttles need to be held fully open to get a full (higher) reading. All things considered from looking at those numbers I reckon the compression is good to go and not contributory to the misfire which is good news. I still can't make a definite call on that cyl 4 reading but I'm confident that all is well, what matters is that they are all near enough the same given the restriction of the guage fitting, the age of the car, the fact that the butterflies were closed during the test (which must have robbed the guage of 10psi at least) lead me to think all is well. I am at least reassured by these figures.
As for the fuel grade we have 'unleaded' at 95 RON, 'Super-unleaded' at 98 RON and '4 star' leaded (is this what you know as 'premium'?) at 98 RON but which has been progressively removed from sale but is still available from certain licensed retailers if you can find them. They even have to produce a map for the benefit of the 'classic car fraternity whose cars won't handle unleaded at any RON. I run the 'lude on Super-unleaded as there's nowhere local that does the 4 star jungle juice.
This afternoon I am gonna yank the carbs again and have a concerted attempt to get the bowls and vac slide chamber opened up and blow these jets through with some carb cleaner and a footpump. I can the get a good look at the integrity of the intake stubs as 2ndOne suggests. I'm just waiting on a call from the motor factors telling me the manifold gasket's arrived 'cause I want that off too.
We'll get there in the end and thanks for the continuing input chaps, it all gets assimilated.
All the vehicle breakers and scrappies I've rung around the country are turning up a blank when it comes to a replacement used pair of Keihins but if all else fails then I have a dastardly and fiendish plan to whack a set of four ganged motorcycle carbs into it. Muaaaaar-ha-ha-ha-haaaar! (twiddles pointy moustachios) This has been done to a 'Lude on two occasions I'm aware of.
Here's one thread I've found...
My God that's a clean car.
Now here's an interesting feauture on an interesting company...
Bogg Brothers specialise in fabricating inlet manifolds that allow the quad carb rig from a Yamaha R1 to be bolted into Vauxhalls particularly but reckon they can accommodate other marques
This really appeals to me and hopefully will let me bin all that ball-ache with the myriad vacuum lines. If I can bin most of that I'd be a lot happier and it would tidy up the engine bay no end.:Rock: I'd just need to figure out what can be binned and what must be retained.
M-spec's lude is clean. Like he said, the cam and small carbs are the restrictions. To be honest, quad 40mm carbs are a little too much. Dual 45mm carbs are about as big as you want to go without P&P and bore. If the air intake speeds drop too low, the a/f mixture will have a hard time.
I would do quad 35mm or dual 45mm carbs. If I could, I would definitely change out the cam. ColtCams has three cam grind options for the SOHC. The 2nd option is good for daily driving, and the 3rd option for all racing.
The second generation preludes with carbs can get up to 200HP with the SOHC engines. They are very similar to the B20a3/4.
Every second revolution of a 4 stroke engine will draw the swept volume of each individual cylinder through its carburettor. For my motor that'll be 1958cc / 4 = 489.5cc ; call it 500cc = 1/2 a litre.
At 1500rpm that equates to 0.5ltr x 750(rpm div by 2) = 375ltr/min
At 5000rpm that means 0.5ltr x 2500 = 1250ltr/min
So I'm thinking that all I need to consider with regard to potential donor carbs is that they can ensure proper fuel atomisation at all points between these two airflow figures down to the idling/tick over speed. Surely any carb that in its original service had to supply a cylinder of around 500cc and worked within a similar rev range would therefore be a suitable candidate?
Then of course there is physical size considerations, room for filtering, ease of connection to the throttle pedal etc but the big one is all about airflow.
code 14: Electronic Air Control
apparently has been coming on/off
should i b worried?
Check it out I went and linked the manual pages you need for the EACV.
That's an easy one to troubleshoot compared to some of the other parts.
thanks for the best info i found on this carb car i had a low rpm reading
Hi everyone, I'm very glad to find you, B20A3 people :smile: I read the whole thread and I registered because of it :) Anyway, I have a '90 Prelude S (Ex), the facelift version with B20A3 dual carb engine originally bought from Germany with german manual and carb scheme sticker under the hood (I'm mentioning that for The Guvnah in relation to his European/American uncertainty of engine numbers). My Lude is currently in Bulgaria because that's where I'm from, so please excuse me for being slow with the understanding of some technical words, English is not my native language (and my knowledge on Preludes is not yet very deep as well). Much respect especially to TripleLude and The Guvnah - your pics helped me a lot in getting along with my car :) I have a question though.
I have the common high rev cold idle issue too. It's very annoying to me especially now in the winter with temp around 0C it starts directly at 2000 and in between changing gears while in neutral *sometimes* it bursts even to 3000-3200 for few seconds and then back to 2000. It takes like 30 MINUTES!!! to decrease to the normal 800-900 rpm (usually in heavy traffic driving conditions). So I'm fed up and ready to turn some screws - TripleLude replied to ambiorix (with similar problem) to try the "fast idle screw", but shouldn't it be the "choke adjust screw"?
And aren't the screws just adjusting the consequences of something not working properly instead of finding the source of the problem?
One more thing not connected to the first issue - I saw an ad of a dual carb 3gen Prelude with 4WS. Is there a factory version of B20A3 with 4WS?
If the choke is increased too far, it may choke the engine even when warmed up. Basically, the choke would never fully disengage. I struggled with this problem when I first started learning about the carbs and tuning.
If the choke is decreased too far, you will have trouble starting the car when the engine is cold. I learned this the hard way too. It can leave you stranded unless you know how to adjust it on the spot.
It's always better to find the source of the problem. There are cases where the carbs are really old and things like the jets may not flow fuel like they did when first tuned. Or possibly the thermowax valve isn't expanding to spec. It's always better to rebuild the carbs, but then you will likely have to re-tune them anyway.
In your case: Make sure your car has had a recent tune-up. There are two fuel filters to replace. Valve lash adjustment, 88.8*C thermostat, etc. Then look for any obvious signs of a problem. Check engine light, vacuum line damage, dirty carb springs and levers, etc. If everything is ok, then focus on tuning the carbs a little. Adjust the cold idle screw. If you find a problem later, you can always turn it back up.
post back your feedback is appreciated.
Thanks for your your quick reply. Cold engine starts extremely easy and fast but with one small detail - I need to tap the gas pedal once (with key on contact) before I start ignition (I guess this pumps gas to the carbs). So I guess I'll try to experiment with the choke screw. Everything else from what you mentioned as a tune-up is ok, I believe, except for the second fuel filter? I only replaced the one in the rear left side of the car, next to the tank :blush:
luude help
Hey ya'll
I have a 91 lude, and "she" came with baggage. I inheritated the smokin (which got fixed). I had timing issues - tha got fixed and now my latest issues are Hhc ppm 361 and standard is 220 in Joizy. I also got engine lite on which saw is 9blinks (cyl sensor) and 4 blinks is tdc/crank sensor. where are they in car and where do i buy the sensors? thanks

Hey everyone,
I have been looking on crutchfield.com as well as ebay at a couple different in-dash touch screens. I know I want one that does not flip out but instead is one that fits the whole stereo like the picture below. Price would probably be up to the $500 or more mark, and I have a 02 WRX if that helps. If you guys could steer me in the right direction for what model worked best for you and maybe post some pictures of your set up that would be great. Thanks.

Takeaway Listeners Respond to Education Series
Takeaway listeners from Vancouver to New Jersey have been responding to this week's series on education with stories about their favorite educators, testimonials about their own schools, and observations about public education in the United States.
One listener from Oregon spoke about her first grade teacher, and the love of learning that she instilled in her: "When I finished my master's degree, I walked over to her home and knocked on the door, reintroduced myself after all of those years of not seeing her, and told her how she inspired me to pursue my education."
Another listener, this one from Vancouver, wished she had done the same. One of her teachers in high school called her after class one day, and asked what her plans were for college. "She told me, you are too bright not to go to school," the listener says. "I, thanks to her, had a life that I never dreamed that I would ever have."
In addition to calls from students, we also received calls from teachers. "Schools are a middle class institution, and need the support of the home in order to be successful," a teacher from New Jersey pointed out. "That's the reason that urban schools and suburban schools are so vastly different, and talking about them in the same conversation is like comparing apples to grenades. It simply can't be done."

Does it ever seem like the most inconvenient of roadside problems strike at the most inconvenient of times? Fortunately, emergency road service can minimize your headache when you're running late for an important meeting, rushing to pick up your child from day care, or when you're in the middle of a road trip and suddenly a tire pops, or you realize that you're down to the last ounce of gas.
If you find yourself among those that currently don't have emergency road service, contact your insurance company to inquire about this benefit. If you're wondering what exactly emergency road service includes, here's a list of common features.
- Towing. Have you ever been stranded anywhere? Almost everyone has a need to have their car towed at some point in their life. Whether you drive a new or used car, there are a number of reasons why your car may suddenly stall.
- Lost key and lockout. This service comes in quite handy for anyone who's prone to losing their keys or forgetting them inside the car. If you constantly find yourself rushing to get from point A to point B – all while juggling other tasks – you know how likely this scenario can be. Emergency road service can provide a locksmith in almost no time.
- Fuel delivery. Sometimes your schedule is so hectic that you can barely find the time to make it to a gas station to pump gas in your car. Other times, gas prices are so high that you're actually afraid of pumping gas. Whatever the reason, almost everyone has seen the low fuel warning light go on. For those unfortunate moments when you couldn't get to a gas station soon enough, emergency road service will come to you with a nice supply of fuel.
- Flat tire service. Although everyone should have a spare tire, or the tools necessary to patch a flat tire, not everyone does. Seeing as a tire blowout is very common, this is perhaps the most widely used feature of emergency road service.
Many insurance companies now offer emergency road service as a benefit to their members. To be on the safe side, it's best to check your policy to make sure this benefit is available to you. There's no worse time to discover you don't have emergency road service than when you most need it.

London is experiencing a spate of brick thefts as thieves try to make thousands of pounds by selling them for use in extensions at the homes of wealthy residents.
Police are investigating more than 30 reports of brick thefts in east London alone but it is understood the problem has spread across the capital.
Thieves are pulling down walls of churches and cemeteries to steal the valuable "London stock" yellow bricks, which can pre-date the Victorian era.
Experts warned the bricks, which can sell for up to £1 each, are being sold on the black market to building merchants unaware they have been stolen.
They are then used in extensions at the homes of Londoners who want the sought-after and distinctive bricks.
Waltham Forest council deputy leader Clyde Loakes has been working with police to expose the crimewave.
He said: "It's a strange phenomenon but it does not diminish the distress when vans are literally driving into people's front gardens in broad daylight.
"There are examples of people driving into the garden walls to dislodge as many bricks as possible, scoop them up and then drive off.
"We know there's been a brick shortage and people tend to refurbish and extend their own houses instead of moving home.
"Often, that means extensions, where small amounts of bricks are needed, as opposed to large amounts." Batches of 100 reclaimed yellow bricks sell online for up to £120 per pallet and there is no suggestion that merchants and wholesalers are part of the scam.
Construction specialist Robert Tiffin, 63, owner of the Tiffin Group, said: "Every brick they steal will get them £1 if sold on the black market. They could pick up £200 or £300 as easy as you like. It's a cash-only business."
Yellow London stock bricks were used by masons and builders for the majority of building work in London and the South-East until the early 20th century. The distinctive colour comes from the local clay from which the bricks were made.
Police are investigating the spate of thefts in Waltham Forest, Newham and in surrounding boroughs.
St Patrick's Roman Catholic cemetery in Leytonstone has been targeted twice in the last month, including an incident on February 26 where a foreman was abused and had a brick thrown at him by a would-be thief who fled in a van.
On March 6, caretaker Steve Williams, 62, chased off three men who tried to steal bricks from St Mary's, a Grade II-listed church on Goldsmith Road in Leyton.
Pc Sam Mason said: "We are investigating a number of brick thefts in the borough of Waltham Forest and are aware of similar offences in surrounding boroughs. Enquiries are ongoing and we urge anyone with information to call police on 101."

Having on your resume that you have experience in producing the Super Bowl for BBC should guarantee some extra looks. Well, after Sunday, Feb. 3, that will be true for Kent State University student Dan LeBeau.
This week, LeBeau and a four-man crew from Kent State's TeleProductions' unit will travel to New Orleans, La., with the department's satellite uplink and production truck for Super Bowl XLVII to provide production and satellite capabilities for the BBC's live broadcast of the game.
TeleProductions was contacted by a company it had done business with previously and then went through a rigorous negotiation process to make sure its truck and production team met all of the technical and professional requirements necessary to fulfill the live broadcast needs.
"We are extremely excited about the trip," said Jeff Bentley, executive producer of the Kent State Sports Network and senior producer in TeleProductions. "We are continually trying to establish new clients, and this gives us the opportunity to increase our visibility and reputation as a capable and reliable production/satellite provider. We also see this as an excellent opportunity to promote our outstanding TeleProductions' department and staff, as well as Kent State University."
Besides LeBeau and Bentley, TeleProductions' staff members Dan Tonneli, Bill Kennedy and Jason Forbes will make the trip to assist with the production.
"LeBeau is one of TeleProductions' most experienced student workers and will be responsible for audio and camera set-up, as well as monitoring the equipment during the game," Bentley said.
"Almost everybody in this industry wants to be involved in a Super Bowl production," LeBeau said.

February 3, 2012 | Family Planning Funding Cuts
Video duration: 28:30
Family Planning Funding in Texas is being cut. The total amount to cover the next 14 months is 12.4 million dollars. It is a cut of 79 percent. Planned Parenthood will receive no funding. University Health System will receive 610,500 dollars which is down from 1.77 million. This federally funded program has saved Texas money by reducing Medicaid costs to care for unplanned pregnancies

"We've been checking our calculations for months," said NASA scientist Dr Scott Hardsum. "There's no doubt about it. London is not even close to the centre."
"Do wot?" commented taxi driver Roy Winston (45). "You're 'avin' a bubble, aintcha?"
On being assured the news was genuine, Roy's incredulity only increased. "You can't trust scientists, mate," he said. "Saw one on the telly claimed he'd discovered an Oxoplanet.
"Bleedin likely that, aintit?" he added. "Whole world made of beef cubes."
"Bit tasty though," commented Roy's colleague Mike Caine (35).
Residents of London seemed wholly uninterested in the most exciting aspect of the new discovery - the true location of the centre of the universe.
"It's in Glasgow," said Dr Hardsum: "Celtic Park to be precise."
"Arse," commented Rangers fan Alex Govan (29). "Now I'm gonnae have to move to another universe."

Passive Subwoofer, Bi-amped with Electronic External Crossover
Newbee subwoofer help needed from fellow DIYers.
Building 2 passive closed subwoofers using either the Peerless 10 or 12 XLS. This will simply be 2 closed subwoofer boxes each with a Peerless XLS woofer (no plate amp or internal Xover). The subwoofers will be bi-amped using a dedicated power amp and active electronic Xover. By bi-amping with an active electronic Xover and incorporating 2 subs vs. one, I hope to eliminate some of the classic problems associated with the seamless transition of subwoofers into a hi-end audiophile system.
Question: On a good track or am I missing something? Any suggestions or comments?
Strictly audiophile use, NOT home entertainment
Room Dimensions: 25 X 25 X12 H
SS Subwoofer Amp: Behringer A500 (500W Studio Amplifier) 2 channel variable gain controls
Electronic Xover: Marchand XM9
Subwoofer Connection: Preamp -> Electronic Xover -> Amp -> Subs (direct line connections)
Xover from Main Speakers: @ 45 to 50 HZ. The adjustable Xover will be upstream of the amplifiers hopefully allow for a more seamless Xover transition.
Subwoofer Box Design: Will use the 1.8 cu/ft THOR if 12 or North Creek Poseidon if 10 as general guidelines.
So it's actually an active subwoofer and not a passive one at all.
Apart from the incorrect thread title, you seem on the right track in most things except the box seems way too big for the 12 inch and you haven't stated the volume of the 10 inch, and you haven't mentioned anything about EQ, which will be needed due to the low Qts of the XLS drivers.
Thanks richie00boy for the response. Once again, a newbee here, so be patient. Sorry for the confusion on the Passive, but just wanted to drive home that this subwoofer DIY project is simply to build 2 cabinets with woofers in them, no plate amps or Xovers. Id love to simply use Kit designs or diagrams and construct them from there, but cant find a kit to meet my needs.
Will use the Linkwitz THOR and North Creek Poseidon for general reference and WinISD for final specific design. I appears the THOR (12 XLS) is in a 50 liter cabinet and the Poseidon 10 is reportedly about 1.5 cu/ft, but these figures include space for the plate amp.
As for the EQ, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
The XLS10 is really made to be used with it's accompanying passive radiator. It can work in a sealed box but the response will be a bit light. Look to correct this with a Linkwitz Transform or maybe some other kind of EQ such as a dedicated subwoofer 'graphic equaliser'.
1.5 cu ft is a bit big for an XLS10. I'm sure once you start playing with WinISD things will become more apparant.
Once again, thanks so much for the inputs. As a result am now looking at the Peerless XXLSS, newer sealed box version of the XLS. Hopefully this will be a little more appropriate for my design.
Also, checking out equalizers like the Pyle (PLE730R) 7. Don't know where this will end up, but will certainly getting an ATI Sound Pressure Level Meter and Rives Audio Test CD.
What ya think?
My opinion of cheap sound level meters is not high. You might as well just set it by ear. As for test CD's you can burn your own easy enough. I made one a while ago, I'll try and upload the wav files and Nero compliation data to my website for people to download.
XLS series has much better BL than XXLS. I think XXLS is just a thing to gain more interest of car tunners.
Two options you may think about. I don't know what the main speakers are but you xover point to the subs is fairly low.
One thought would be set the xover to the midbass a bit higher(maybe the 80Hz range) to help unload the midbass from having to reproduce the lowest frequencies. Kinda the same reason for the sub in the first place but lowering the midbass bandwidth will help clean up the sound where it will be more audible.
Second thought is if you still want to or need to xover to the sub in the 40Hz - 50Hz range, you could tune the midbass (I assume closed box alignment) for an f3 at your xover frequency and not use the highpass section of the electronic xover.
If you have full control over all the parameters, you could do both one and two above.
Have put the SPL meter on hold and will be trying several Xover points in 5Hz increments ranging from 70Hz to 40Hz. Will see what the sonic impact is.
Thanks one and all for the observations and advice.
For less than $100US you can buy an active woofer XO. The one from Reckford gives you quite a bit of flexibility. Does the Marchand also do this?
Variable subsonic frequency (low pass)
Variable high pass.
Variable boost
Variable boost frequency
Variable gain.
I picked one up here in Canada from Creative Sound Solutions.

How to make HM fabric softener
I came across this and thought it was a great idea. It costs alot of money for the really pretty scented softeners, and since this recipe calls for Hair Conditioner, you can easily find a scent you'd love. I got a ton of VO5 conditioners (cheap), so I'm gonna give it a shot. here's the link>>

Word of caution using this money-saving mixture. The ingredients in hair conditioner can coat the sensor in your dryer and it will no longer sense when your clothes are dry, causing over-drying and wasted energy. You should also wash the vent screen often because the ingredients in conditioners can coat the screen and block the air-flow. It can build-up in washers (especially front-loaders) and cause mold growth, so you may need to clean your washer more often. The residue can also build-up in the dryer vent and may cause a fire if not cleaned out regularly.
If you have a new washer/dryer, you might want to contact the help-line of the manufacturer to see if using the homemade mixture will void the warranty, or if it's even recommended for use in your machines.
There are many chemicals and oils in hair conditioner that you can't be sure how they react when heated in the dryer, since they are not designed for fabric/dryer use.
I've heard that using this homemade mixture reduces the flame retardant coating on children's clothing.
I'd suggest vinegar only in the rinse as a low-cost, non-toxic alternative. If static in the dryer is a problem and the reason you like softeners, there are several non-toxic ways to take care of that. If you have a lot of static, you have over-dried fabrics that are made from synthetics. Remove those items while they are still slightly damp to prevent static. If you forget and your dried laundry is full of static, give the clothes a quick spritz of water and give the dryer a couple tumbles on AIR (no heat). The water should discharge the static.09-23-2009, 09:18 AM #3

Thanks GL for the heads up on that. It's certainly something to think about. But living here in FL, I rarely use the dryer. Believe me, it takes alot less time to line dry too, so I take full of advantage of the Fl sun and high temps
Thanks again!

Feb. 6, 2014
Redshirt junior captain Mark Beams talks about being selected as a tri-captain, opening the season at Notre Dame this weekend (Feb. 8) and how he plans to use his degree in biochemistry.
On being selected as one of three tri-captains ... "It's definitely a huge honor. I don't think I'm the only one who is capable of fulfilling this role. I think any of the other cross country captains are capable of leading this team as well. It's a big honor and responsibility. I'm kind of bridging the gap between distance and the other event groups and trying to get some cohesion there -- that's really what we're looking for."
On the team coming together under coach Clayton ... "Things are definitely going very smooth. I feel like coach Clayton, and coach Rajewsky, are getting things done with sprinters and field event guys that haven't been done in the past. As a team, we've had a lot of good meetings and are working towards one unified goal. We're definitely moving in the right direction."
On most of the distance group competing for the first time at Notre Dame ... "We're very excited to get out there and get our first race and our first time. Morsi (Rayyan) got into the Mayo Mile, which is a prestigious mile at Notre Dame, so that's exciting. We're looking to get some fast times to get us into the 'A' heat at the Husky Classic. I think from the distance side, that's mostly what we're looking for."
On personal and team goals for the season ... "Individually, I would like to place very well in indoor and outdoor track -- in the 5K and 10K. I would definitely like to qualify for the indoor and outdoor national meet. As a team, we want to get as many scorers are possible, especially from the distance side -- I think we've been lacking a lot of scorers on the distance side of things on the track. That's something we definitely want to change and I think we have the capability to do it. We've had the capability for a while; we just need to implement that."
On the progress he's made as a distance runner in four years ... "It's kind of overwhelming when you take a step back and look at where I came from to where I am now. Overall the entire process has been very incremental so I think it's been easier to take it piece by piece. It's been pretty incredible."
On his decision to major in biochemistry and his future plans ... "I've been interested in science since middle school, when I took a science class with my high school cross country coach, ironically. He was a great teacher, and a great coach, and I really got interested in the subject. I like how it's very well defined and analytical. Health sciences also interest me. I've definitely thought about going to med school or getting a master's or PHD in biochemistry. I think I'll definitely be doing more school after undergrad. My main career path ideas right now are being an ER doctor or doing food science with biochemistry, developing sports nutrition supplements and things like that."

Salisbury Post
Finally, everyone is noticing Jacob Dobbins.
Dobbins, a North Rowan graduate who has committed to play baseball at Methodist, is a catcher.
Catching is the most precious commodity on the Rowan C
By Mike London
Catching is the most precious commodity on the Rowan County Legion team after knee surgery ended starting backstop Ross Steedley's season.
Dobbins seems less concerned than anyone as Rowan opens the playoffs tonight at Newman Park against Mooresville. He sounds excited, not nervous.
"I hate it for Ross, but it's an opportunity for me, and I think I can handle it," Dobbins said. "I kind of look forward to playing every night and getting in a hitting groove."
Rowan was required to send in a fixed playoff roster June 30. It got the bad news on Steedley after that and doesn't have the option of promoting a Junior Legion catcher such as Austin Shull or Hernan Bautista.
Pitcher/outfielder Matt Hall has been appointed Dobbins' backup and is a heartbeat away from putting on a chest protector. The catcher is the most vulnerable player on the field, always a broken finger on a foul tip or one bruising collision away from being sidelined.
Dobbins was a steady .333 hitter for three varsity seasons at North and was named to the all-county team this spring.
He batted .300 in 50 at-bats for the 2006 Legion team, sharing the workload with Kevin Creason when Steedley was shelved by a balky hamstring.
Dobbins has gotten lots of swings this summer with Steedley fighting the normal bumps and bruises that are part of the catching profession.
He's performed exceptionally, batting .338 with 30 RBIs in 74 official at-bats.
Only No. 3 hitter Weston Church and cleanup man Trey Holmes have produced more RBIs, and they've both had more than 100 at-bats.
"There is nothing at all wrong with Jacob's swing," Rowan coach Jim Gantt said. "When a guy drives the ball hard the other way like he does, you just don't mess with him a whole lot."
Where Rowan loses something with Steedley out of action is on defense. That's not a knock on Dobbins, who is well above average, but Steedley was one of the best ever when he had a mask on. As far as throwing, receiving, blocking the plate and handling the pitching staff, he had no peers.
Parents aren't always the most objective people in the world, but Mark Dobbins -- Jacob's father and the guy who taught his son to hammer the ball to the opposite field -- is a realist.
"I've never complained once about Jacob playing behind Ross," he said. "Ross Steedley is a great catcher. Someone has done an unbelievable job coaching him."
Dobbins appeared headed for another summer as Steedley's backup. That changed with Steedley's ill-fated slide into second base that resulted in a torn meniscus.
Dobbins has risen to the challenge of a starting role, especially on defense.
"Jacob had a real good game at Statesville," Gantt said. "Keegan (Linza) was pitching. He buried a lot of third-strike breaking balls in the dirt, and Jacob blocked every one of them. That showed me Jacob was staying in it mentally, and that's a real good sign. It's big for the pitchers to know he's going to block those balls."
Dobbins' year has come full circle. His senior high school season got off to an awful start. He had one RBI in North's first 10 games. He was taking hittable pitches, then chasing bad ones.
"I couldn't find my swing," Dobbins said. "What I've always worked on with my dad is line drives to right field and center, and I was pulling the ball, rolling over, and hitting groundballs to shortstop. About the last seven or eight games, it finally started to click."
Dobbins hit four homers down the stretch, the first ones he'd ever swatted for the Cavaliers. All came on the road. All were big, including one in the state playoffs.
He carried that momentum into the Legion season, and he's gotten in increasingly better shape. The 6-foot-2 slugger weighed 215 pounds in the spring. Now he checks in at a svelte 200.
"His body is sure a lot different now," Gantt said. "He's still a big boy, but he's moved that weight around some, and he carries it real well."
Dobbins attended camps at Appalachian State and Wingate and received a mailbox full of recruiting letters, but he remained uncommitted throughout the school year.
After North and Rowan Legion teammate Jason Ridenhour decided on Methodist, that's where Dobbins really wanted to go. Ridenhour, who will be his future roommate, did a nice job as his press agent.
Methodist assistant Kevin Allingham, a Catawba graduate, made the trip from Fayetteville to watch Dobbins play against Montgomery County. Dobbins homered and knocked in five runs. That probably sealed his college destination.
"This summer's been a good situation for Jacob," Gantt said. "People got to see him, and now he has a great opportunity to play in college. The best thing of all is playing Legion ball didn't cost him a dime."
Dobbins, who plans to major in business administration and sports management, moved to Rowan from Gastonia when he was in second grade. He signed up for Spencer Little League, and his coach put a mask on him the very first day.
"They stuck me back there behind the plate," Dobbins said with a laugh. "I guess it's because I was always one of the big kids."
Ten years later, Rowan Legion fans are glad they put that mask on him. Right now, he's as important as anyone on the roster.

The VS840 received FCC approval for use on the CDMA/EvDo bands along with LTE band 13, which belongs to Big Red. The device is similar to the recently launched LG Spectrum and Verizon will probably market the LG Connect 4G as a lower priced option for its LTE customers. While it is unclear if Verizon's model will be upgraded, the version headed to MetroPCS will have a 4 inch NOVA display with WVGA resolution and a dual-core 1.2GHz processor will be under the hood. 1GB of RAM will be aboard the unit and the rear and front-facing cameras are 5MP and VGA respectively. Android 2.3 will be installed.
No word on when we might see the LG Connect 4G launch on either carrier, and of course pricing is not yet known. What we do know is that the FCC has given thumbs up which means one less thing that needs to be done before the phone is up for sale.

I hate my life. Heater fan reinstallation @ 0% after 2 hours
OK folks,
I spent about 2 hours in my freezing garage this afternoon attempting to reinstall my heater fan. Previously, I got it out and freed up the bearings for smooth running. However, I now cannot get it back in for the life of me.
I read after taking it out that it's a good idea to make marks on the strap that holds it in and the motor so you can get it back in more easily. This would have saved me some time but I think I still have a problem. (Besides, mine had enough dust on it that I could see the pattern of where the strap was).
Essentially, I can get the motor in and nestled into its little spot, but the strap is just way short of where it needs to be, lby about 1/2". I have the strap hooked into the little metal strap in the back, I've taken that motor out and put it back into its spot about a dozen times (or more) trying to see if I had the wrong orientation, something caught, or what.
I see a notch on the little riveted in metal strip in the back. On my car, it is facing up. I am somewhat suspicious that it may be in backwards, and that the notch is supposed to face down, and the end of my strap fits into it there. This would provide me the extra length it appears I need. Also, flipping that strap would put the notch on the other side, which seems to make sense, since the end of the strap isn't lined up with the notch if I have it positioned as it was originally installed, but it looks like it might line up if flipped. If this is true, though, then how in the world was it ever installed in the first place? Perhaps whatever magic tool they used in Germany was able to strap that sucker down despite the error?
Here's a picture of what I'm talking about. Can anyone who has done this before comment?

Indian Ocean sea level rise threatens millions -study
The team of researchers in their study used long-term tide gauge data, satellite observations and computer climate models to build a picture of sea level rises in the Indian Ocean since the 1960s.
They found that sea-level rise is particularly high along the coastlines of the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea, Sri Lanka, Sumatra and Java and that these areas could suffer rises greater than the global average.
But they also found that sea levels are falling in other areas. The study indicated that the Seychelles Islands and Zanzibar off Tanzania's coast show the largest sea-level drop.
"Global sea level patterns are not geographically uniform," said co-author Gerald Meehl of NCAR in Boulder, Colorado.
The study is published in the latest issue of the journal Nature Geoscience.
A key player in the process is the Indo-Pacific warm pool, a large oval-shaped area spanning the tropical oceans from the east coast of Africa to the International Date Line in the Pacific.
The pool has warmed by about 0.5 degrees Celsius (1 degree Fahrenheit) over the past 50 years, primarily because of mankind's greenhouse gas emissions. The warmer water has strengthened two major atmospheric circulation patterns that have a major impact on sea levels.
"Our new results show that human-caused atmosphericoceanic circulation changes over the Indian Ocean, which have not been studied previously,contribute to the regional variability of sea-level change," the researchers say in the study. Continued...

'Ghost ship' spotted
IS THIS the ghost of the famous Elizabethan ship that floundered off Alderney in 1592?
IS THIS the ghost of the famous Elizabethan ship that floundered off Alderney in 1592?
Alderney holidaymaker Bill Cook photographed the spectre-like vessel on Wednesday 19 December as it headed towards the breakwater.
Mr Cook was on a drive around the island with his wife.
'It was a misty day and quite atmospheric and my wife asked me to stop the car so she could take a picture of the lighthouse,' said Mr Cook.
'She was just using her point-and-shoot camera and said she could see something at sea.
'I got my camera out and zoomed in on it and I could make out a small three-masted vessel hugging the coast.
'We watched it for a while as it made its way to the breakwater and towards Guernsey, passing a Condor ferry on the way.'
Mr Cook suggested it could be The Matthew, a replica of the 15th-century ship that took John Cabot from Bristol to Newfoundland.
'When I got back I noticed it wasn't docked, so I thought it could be the one I saw.'
But doubts persist. Enquiries to the organisation that runs the Matthew for corporate and public trips have not yielded a response, and the vessel did not stop at Guernsey or Alderney, according to harbour authorities.
Was it a ghost ship?
Email me at email@example.com if you have any information.
Alderney is to stage its very first performing arts festival.
The event, to be held from Friday 24 to Sunday 26 May, will see performances from talented groups and individuals from the world of dance, theatre and music.
Performers travelling to the island for the festival include Reinis Zarins, an up-and-coming Latvian concert pianist, Breton dance troupe Legendanse and the more-modern Rockabellas.
It will also feature sets from Alderney troupes such as the Vocalistas, Tom Hicks and Casey Jo from Guernsey and workshops on skills such as mandolin and percussion playing.
Comments for: "'Ghost ship' spotted"
is this not the winter scheduled Bumblebee Cruise service?
It was either motoring, or being towed by a Submarine.

A sneaky attempt at trying to boost Alderney's ailing tourist industry.
Could it be the Black Pearl?

Curious,I was on a very recent visit to St Malo,(this year),and in one of the inner harbours near the Casino,was what i beileve to be the above so called ghost ship,Except it was far from ghostly! Hope this info helps any budding ghost busters.
Island Wide Voting
See that Rosie.They even go for drives around the island in Alderney!
Definitely Condors new ferry - faster and more reliable!
I think the vessel is "Etoile du Roy" currently at St Malo, she is on AIS digimaps.
My wife and I boarded the Étoile du Roy in St.Malo in September. By comparing the photos I took of it it does look very similar to the one pictured above.
You Sir are correct. A graphic comparison does in fact prove that this is a photo of the Étoile du Roy ship. Thank you
If a ghostly ship one with propellers!
Note wake and flag direction!
Not under sail, being moved by power.
Devil's Advocate
There was a big tall ships race in St.Malo this year, the channel was full of tall ships.

Oh for the romance of a ghost ship. Even though the chances are slim to say the least, it is a nice thought that our ancestors are still out there somewhere.
Ghost ships are nothing new, merely a side effect of living in a multidimensional Universe.
What appear as ghosts are simply atmospheric particles being perturbed by virtual particles a la "Brownian Motion" travelling across the void to our 4 dimensional existence.

A brief history
Mindfulness is said to have originated in Buddhist thinking and meditation practice over two and a half thousand years ago. Its original purpose was to address and relieve self-induced suffering caused by the dysfunctional ways people habitually tend to respond to their experience.
Over the last 30 years, mindfulness has become secularised and simplified to suit a Western context. In the 1970s anecdotal and research findings about the ability of meditation to reduce unhealthy psychological symptoms triggered interest in mindfulness as a healthcare intervention. Jon Kabat-Zinn at the Medical Centre at the University of Massachusetts introduced the first eight week structured mindfulness skills training programme which gave considerable psychological, and some physical, relief, to patients experiencing intractable severe pain and distress from a wide range of chronic physical health conditions. This came to be known as MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction).
MiSP's classroom curricula
The roots of the MiSP curricula (.b and Paws b) are MBSR and MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy), the latter being a programme developed largely in the UK to help adults cope with depressive relapse. MBSR and MBCT are the two most well-researched and evidence-based mindfulness programmes available. However, .b and Paws b are not therapeutic interventions; they are curricula designed to introduce young people to the potential benefits of mindfulness in the safety of the school classroom. Taught by well-trained teachers .b and Paws b offer a toolkit of practices, most of between about 1 and 10 minutes, which aim to dip children's toes into mindfulness in ways which they find helpful and enjoyable. To have a significant impact these curricula should sit within a school's broader frameworks of social and emotional learning, safeguarding and pastoral support.
A key finding from the early research is that pupils enjoy .b and Paws b and there is certainly no evidence to suggest that any harm is caused by this relatively low exposure to simple, secular mindfulness practices. Indeed, early research suggests that mindfulness may provide young people with a valuable life skill by supporting them in number of areas: to feel calmer and more fulfilled; to get on better with others; to concentrate and learn; to manage stress and anxiety; to perform well in music and sport. However, it is certainly not a panacea and further research is needed to deepen and test our understanding of this. MiSP is therefore committed to further research into the effects of mindfulness for both staff and pupils in schools through randomised controlled trials.

Ja Rule Album to Drop Day Before He Enters Prison
Ja Rule has revealed that he will be releasing his new album, 'The Renaissance Project,' on June 7, the day before he starts his prison sentence for a criminal weapons charge.
The Queens was arrested with a handgun in 2007 with fellow rapper Lil Wayne, and pleaded guilty to the weapons charge in December. Last week, Rule's lawyer successfully lobbied to have his prison sentence delayed so that he could settle a federal tax issue. He will now surrender to authorities on June 8, to begin his two-year prison term.
"Breaking news………RENAISSANCE PROJECT JUNE 7th!!! … " Rule tweeted over the weekend. The album, his seventh, will be released through his record label Mpire Music, and distributed by Fontana Distribution.
'The Renaissance Project' was initially titled 'Venni Vetti Vecci 2010,' a play on his debut album of the same name. Rule axed the title after an experience he had while on a recent trip to Africa. "I changed the name of my album from Venni Vetti Vecci 2010, first of all, Venni Vetti Vecci was my baby; that was my first album," Rule explained. "You can never duplicate that era in time. That was my whole life's work in that album up until that time."
Despite a looming bid in the clinker, Rule seems to be enjoying himself. In Australia over the weekend, he lounged poolside in Surfers Paradise.

Hey there all. My name is Manny. I'm 31 y/o w/m. I live in the Bronx.
I am a NYC P.O., I love the job, just can't stand some of the guys I work with, (but I'd still take a bullet for any of them).
I carry a G19 as my service weapon and a G26 with +3 mag extension as my off-duty, but I carry them both while I'm working.
I'm still trying to figure out the best wayto carry my G26 while working. As of now, I carry it in a shoulder rig under my shirt.
I tried the ankle holster, but I do run after alot of perps and I feel as if I'm gonna lose it. I tried the IWB holster, but it's uncomfortable when I sit.
Off-duty, I holster up with a Blackhawk Serpa with figer release and matching mag holder.
I feel more comfy with the extra mag and the +3's when I'm off-duty. That's 13+1 in the G26 and an extra 13 on the hip.
A buddy of mine only had 10+1 against 2 perps. He emptied them out into them,one guy hit 5 times, the other 3 times, 3 went wild, but didn't have enough to finish the job. One of the perps let one round go from a .357, my buddy took it in the chest. All we can say now is that he was a good Cop and the services were beautiful.

The Finnish mobile phone giant will get back to the top of the pile in smartphones, and its upcoming Symbian^3 based N8 will help it get there, Nokia's chief executive Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo has said.
Speaking to investment analysts earlier this week to explain a 32 per cent drop is operating profits, Kallasvuo was attempting to install some confidence that it can reverse its recent downturn in fortunes.
"Nokia will make a comeback at the higher end of the smartphone market," he said. "We are approaching the end of this painful product transition at the high end of our product portfolio. Delivering the N8, with a high-quality user experience, will mark the beginning of our renewal. We will achieve our potential and regain high-end leadership in our industry."
Kallasvuo admitted that Nokia has essentially been too big and slow to compete in the challenging US market. ""Frankly, we have been trying many times {to succeed in the US}, but it has turned out to be a painful experience; but the learning is here. Symbian earlier generations have not been, from a time-to-market point of view, fast enough in getting over that hurdle. It's meant we have missed some time windows."
However there is still some potential for confusion for consumers. Kallasvuo believes that Nokia will sell 50 million Symbian phones, but will also use its Meego OS for high-end handsets.
This is in contrast to Apple with its single OS and while different Android manufactures are using different point releases, all handsets are based on the same focused OS.
Will the N8 put Nokia back in the game for high-end handsets – or is it already too late? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Famous basketball pro who's disqualified for bad behaviour dresses as a girl and joins the women's league.
Q: What do you do if you're a famous male basketball pro and you're disqualified for bad behaviour?
A: Easy - you dress as a girl and join the women's league.
So it's a laboured comic set-up, but it does offer the chance for a whole lot of boob gags, the sight of hero Jamal (Nunez Jr.) having his legs waxed and oh, hell, why not a few more boob gags while we're at it? And that's about the level of this resistible comedy.
The only surprises here are the missed tricks: there's no male-female transformation scene, and the revelatory scene is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it job. Supporting performances from Fox and Pollak are strong, but Nunez Jr. isn't nearly sympathetic enough to involve us in Jamal's plight - and he's given very little help from the unexceptional script. A few lewd laughs are all this attempt at a comedy of mistaken identity has to offer.
There may be a lot of boobs out there on the court, but there's only one tit. As limp as it is lazy.

Congrats. My experience mirrors yours. I have the chromed model as well. Simple smooth double action trigger and surprisingly accurate and easy to control.
Picked up a new Ruger LCP (380) with the hard chrome slide and barrel earlier this week. This is my first 'mouse' gun, and I wasn't sure what the expect.
Out of the box the fit and finish of the gun was perfect. The gun was tight with no play whatsoever. There were some marks on the top side of the chamber, but apparently from the test firing of the gun. Before taking it to the range I took the LCP apart, cleaned, and lubed the slide and gun. It took me a little practice, but taking apart and reassembly of the LCP is very easy. The model LCP that I purchased has the chrome slide and barrel. The chrome finish makes cleaning a snap.
At the range two targets were set up 10 yards downrange. Testing was done with PMC Bronze 90 grain FMJ ammo. One target was used for standing unsupported shooting and the other was used with a benchrest (no sandbags or other supports). If I had to do it over again, I would have gotten used to the sights before testing, and it took me a few shots before I learned where the point of aim was on the LCP.
I can't say that I'm the best shot or that I was even that taking that much time with each shot. It was clear to me immediately that the gun was capable of greater accuracy than I am capable of delivering. In fact, I was shocked with how accurate and easy to shoot the LCP is. The trigger pull is long, but smooth. There was no problem staying on target throughout the trigger pull.
I had no failures of any kind with the LCP. The recoil was hefty, but didn't bother me much at all. I had read some feedback on the 380 round having significant recoil, but it was well within manageable for me. Your mileage may vary.
I am thrilled with the Ruger LCP. It is obviously amazingly concealable, fit and finish are excellent, and the LCP is far more accurate than what I expected. Highly recommended so far.

Congrats. My experience mirrors yours. I have the chromed model as well. Simple smooth double action trigger and surprisingly accurate and easy to control.
Congratulations. Safe shooting.
Congrats on the new gun. I like the looks and function of the chrome slide. Best of luck with it.
Nice little gun, don't ever leave home without it!

sure hes a mad racist tho
sure hes a mad racist tho
Whats even more crazy about Travis Fulton is he has 248 wins and only 7 by desicion!!!
WTF Fulton - 40 fight win streak, most people do well with 4 or 5.
1-1 in the UFC and never got to come back.
He has had a crazy amount of pro boxing bouts aswell.......crazy as mofo.....
But you've got to imagine there's hundreds of unlicensed bouts and old school ironmans not recorded too.
The other interesting thing in his 300+ MMA fights, he has only fought outside of the US/Canada a handful of times.
So do you think that in all that time he ever held down a regular job or was fighting his only job and way of paying the bills?
I think he was earning a fortune thats for sure!!

Long Story Short: Has anyone seen a set of Wii A/V cables that has both the yellow Composite Video jack and the red/blue/green Component video jacks built into the same cable?
Long Story Long:
I have multiple GameCubes that are hooked to multiple TVs. Each GameCube is connected to my flat panel via Component (via switch box), but connected to a different video source using the composite video cable. For those who don't know, the GameCube's Component situation is kinda weird. The Component Video cables are just that - video. For audio, you have to additionally connect the standard composite audio/video cables, leaving you with an extra video cable (that you can conveniently route to another display). Using this, I have my entertainment center set up so that the GameCubes all display on the flat panel *or* each of them can send out to one other display for multi-player gaming (Four Swords, Double Dash, etc.).
I'd like to do something similar with my two Wiis. Obviously, one can be directly connected to the flat panel (either way, in multi-player or single player, one Wii is going to the flat panel) - so I can just use the standard Component cables for this.
But for my second Wii... Sometimes I want to play it on the flat panel (via Component) and sometimes I'd like to send it to a secondary display (which would require Composite). The way I have it set up now is by using the Composite cable and splitting the signal to the two different displays... but then I lose that slight upgrade in picture quality from not using Component when using the flat panel.
So, what I'm wondering, is if anyone has ever seen a (good) "All-in-one" A/V cable for the Wii that has both component and composite video in the single cable?

Yeah, something like that. I'm not sure about the brand (looks like there are some bad reviews), but now that I know they exist, I'll have to start looking at them closer in-stores.

I don't think this is a good idea. You're asking a Wii video output to send signal to two devices at once. Even if you're only using one device, other device that isn't being used will still draw the signal. This might cause permanent damage to your Wii's output.
You should really get a video receiver that's designed to do this.

|San Juan, Argentina (January 7, 2014) – American's Robby Gordon and navigator Kellon Walch rebounded following two frustrating stages at the 35 Dakar Rally to finish 6th in the third stage of the famed race. The team's SPEED Energy / Toyo Tires HST Gordini finally performed as expected and allowed the duo to finish just seven minutes and two seconds behind stage winner Nani Roma of Spain.
Despite beginning the stage as the 28 of 121 cars, thus having to drive through fellow competitor's dust and significant traffic, Gordon passed more than 20 cars during his more than three-hour and five-minute race. In doing so he shaved more than 21 minutes off of Frenchman Stephane Peterhansel's overall leading time.
The day's route covered 301 kilometers through the Pre-Andes Mountains. High altitudes in the two previous stages may have been a contributing factor in the team's vapor lock issues with the HST Gordini's fuel supply, therefore, Tuesday's successful run at the Rally's highest altitudes yet is certainly good news for the leading American team.
Wednesday's 657-kilometer (408 miles) monster fourth stage is the longest scheduled for 2014 and will run from San Juan to Chilecito, Argentina. The long distance will not only test the drivers and navigators, but also each car's fuel capacity, as refueling during the stage is not an option. While the stage will take drivers through rivers and steep descends into canyons, it is expected to be fast and wide open, giving drivers the ability to make up time on the field if mechanical and navigational problems can be avoided.
The 15-stage Dakar Rally will conclude January 18.
Be sure to watch the nightly highlight show of the 2014 Dakar Rally January 6th through January 18th on NBC Sports Network at 5 p.m. EST/ 2 p.m. PST. Check local listings for exact channel and time.
