Lupe Fiasco Claims WHO Slept With Eminem's Girl?!
Photo Credit: Getty Images
Lupe Fiasco is at it again and this time he finds himself between Eminem and Drake!! Lupe has been very vocal about his thoughts on Eminem's new music lately. When Eminem dropped "Rap God", Lupe sent a subtweet that read "...What's a God to a non-believer again? Hahahah...Shots!". Yesterday, after Em's album, "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" leaked, people noticed that he brought up Lupe's name in a song called "So Much Better". Em raps:
If i spent more time with you, you say
"Ok yeeah, I'm coo-coo, hey?" Well, screw you
And I'd be the third person who screwed you today
Oh, four? Dre, Drake, Lupe? Oh touche
Lupe wasted no time in tweeting the response below:
Yikes!!! I don't know if Lupe is just having fun with the situation or he knows something that we don't. Either way this could get interesting because Lupe isn't a stranger to name-dropping.

text: That Sheriff deputy way over reacted in that circumstance. If he cannot handle that situation in a calmer manner he needs to find a new line of work. Threatening to shoot the citizen in the back was way off base. The Sheriff in Citrus County should have fired that guy before his shift was over. That video could be use in future lawsuits if that same deputy hurts a citizen in that county. The video imputes knowledge to the Sheriff and county officials that they have a problem and failed to act to protect their citizens from his future egregious acts. Hopefully that deputy is no longer in law enforcement.

text: Did the Bulls develop rookies while Jordan was there? Did they plan for the long range?? NO No one has developed a long term dynasty since the Celtics of Russell, and they lasted for a long time because he did. Same for Magic. Same for the Bad Boys. They only lasted until they got old or had salary problems. Who did Chuck Daly develop?? Unless your rookie is of very high caliber, they don't play much until someone gets HURT. Amir, Maxiel and the like, will develope in one of two ways: 1. Someone gets HURT and they have to play. 2. In the NBDL - that's what its for. As long as the Piston's five stay healthy - AND THAT'S A VERY BIG IF - then the rookies will not play much, nor should they. This trying to play games with the minutes is ridiculous. No coach is going to go through those machinations. He's paid to WIN. Match-ups, fouls, etc. determine who plays. Not some dreamed-up-in-the-shower rotation.

MOVIE REVIEW: Captain America: The Winter Soldier
I cannot say enough good things about this movie. I absolutely loved it. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is hands down my favorite film in the whole Avengers series. Most importantly, it has what the other Avengers films were lacking...a storyline.
We get a much deeper look at not only Captain America but also Nick Fury and Black Widow. In other films, those two feel like they're just "there," but Winter Soldier gives them more depth. We start to see their tortured sides that could play a role in upcoming films.
Steve Rogers is still trying to adjust to his new life in the 21st century and it's not that easy. All of his friends are dead, or dying, and he has a pretty strict code of ethics that seems to have been left behind in World War II. Apparently it's not easy to get back to normal life after being trapped in ice for decades. Add that to the realization that S.H.I.E.L.D. is crumbling and being taken over by an evil organization, and it's safe to say that Rogers has seen better days. He does make a new friend in the Winter Soldier. We are introduced to Sam Wilson, AKA Falcon. He's a nice addition to the series, even if it isn't a major part.
One of the things that makes me love Captain America more than the other Avengers is how real he is. Yes, he's a genetically engineered super human, but he's a normal guy at heart. Iron Man, Tony Stark, is a billionaire playboy that has his issues but he has no real rules. And Thor is a God. What problems could he really have? Captain America has strong beliefs and he fights for the people. I feel like I can relate to his emotions and struggles.
I truly believe this is a near perfect movie for this genre. There's some incredible action, great character development, humor and Scarlett Johansson. I'll never complain about seeing her on the big screen. If you've found yourself enjoying any of the Avengers films, you will almost certainly love The Winter Soldier. It's a very solid bet for a trip to the movies.

Water in Furnace Ducting
I just had my furnaces cleaned and was told I have a problem with water in the ducting. My house is what is called an up/down duplex. The basement is a separate living space (was always designed to be) so has its own hot water, furnace etc. The ducting for the downstairs furnace is in the floor, it was laid and the concrete poured over it during construction.
I'm not sure what to do about it. I could probably get a sump pump to remove what's there now (and plan on doing so). The furnace company says I need to discontinue use of that ducting and put in new ducting as it will just continue to build up over time. Since the basement is fully finished, and rented out, this is no small thing.
Does anyone have any advice? I'm not sure who I should be calling to see what my options are.
My first question would be how much water? If it is minimal and the leaky area can be rerouted, then a water vapor remover is a possibility. A co-worker has one and he used it to remove the mold and moisture from his very water damaged bathroom. It was $3k but they can be rented.
I'd say the real issue is the continual leak if it is persistant and then if there are mold concerns. Rerouting pipes is a popular and cheap way to resolve slab leaks.
If the issue is ground water seaping into the ducts and not pipes, maybe you can have a Rescue Rooter type place do an "inside the pipe" re-pipe. They run a balloon through the broken pipe and when it expands and dries, it works like a new pipe.
Thanks for the response.
I don't think anything can be re-routed without major repairs/renos. The ducting is under the concrete floor. I suspect it is ground water seepage as it's in the bedrooms, far from any water pipes and we had a really hard downpour the other day for over 12 hours straight.
My plan was to dry it out (sump-pump?) and then monitor it to see if it recurs and if so, how quickly. If it stays dry, then that's great, but I'm doubtful.
When you refer to re-piping inside the existing pipe, do you mean the hot air ducts? That's an interesting idea and definitely worth looking into if that's available here.
Yes, I assume repiping the ducts could be done just the same as a normal pipe.

CANADA FX DEBT-C$ rallies as BoJ stokes risk appetite, oil prices rise
* Canadian dollar ends at C$1.4006, or 71.40 U.S. cents
* Bond prices higher across the maturity curve
By Fergal Smith
TORONTO, Jan 29 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar gained against a stronger U.S. counterpart on Friday after a Bank of Japan rate cut into negative territory boosted global asset markets, while oil rallied and data showed Canadian and U.S. growth in line with economists' expectations.
The Canadian dollar settled at C$1.4006 to the greenback, or 71.40 U.S. cents, stronger than Thursday's official close of C$1.4048, or 71.18 U.S. cents.
It has made sharp gains since Jan. 20, when the currency hit its weakest since 2003 at C$1.4689.
"Another wild ride for dollar-Canada," said Jack Spitz, managing director of foreign exchange at National Bank Financial, who added a strong finish to the session bodes well for momentum.
"Canada has been a relative outperformer based predominantly on crude oil," he added.
Oil prices have rebounded more than 25 percent since hitting 12-year lows last week on prospects of a deal between major exporters to cut production and curb one of the biggest supply gluts in history. Continued...

Headline"Hello everyone. Well, here I am. That old saying, nothing ventured, nothing gained, comes to mind as I type these words."
I am a reasonably happy, very independent, outgoing (maybe sassy :-)) intelligent person. Kind, honest and generous. Love laughing (can tell a good joke) and most of all, believe I still have a huge amount of love to give someone out there.
I am a nurse by profession and for the past 30 years, have run a business across Australia, teaching phlebotomy. I love my work. I love taking blood (sad really when you think about it! And Please hold the Dracula jokes unless you can come up with something new that I have not heard before.......LOL) but I know I make a difference out there when a person has to have it done. My work, along with my family, has filled my life for such a long time but I know I am not content. I have 2 beautiful supportive daughters and a 6 year old grand daughter who has made the world all bright and new again.
I miss the romance - I want that special warm feeling when you look up and he is watching you with that smile. I am constantly reminded how much is missing, in fact how essential it is, to have that special someone - the one toothbrush, the meal for one, travelling on a plane on a Sunday afternoon.
Lots I like to do in life,Many activities and interests. But, there is something I have come to realise. You can be doing anything or absolutely nothing and be the happiest you have ever been, simply because of the person you are with. Yes?
So, to finish, you get to the stage in your nearly content life where you know that it is not enough and think 'Maybe, if I try hard enough and look long enough, I may just find that someone who will be the last piece of that wonderful puzzle that will make life complete.
So, with some trepidation and cautious excitement, I take the plunge. Who knows, you might just be there when I log on next:-)

This Is What The World's Fastest Bicycle Looks Like [Pics]
Pill-shaped design could break the pedal-powered speed record.
Students from Liverpool University in the U.K. are looking to break the world's pedal-powered speed record of 90 mph, with a bicycle that looks nothing like a bicycle. The ARION1 is encased in carbon-fibre, and requires the rider to navigate using a camera and on-board monitor.
Sitting just a few centimeters off the ground, the students claim the bicycle is 40 times more aerodynamic than a Bugatti Veyron supercar. "The project is no simple undertaking but, at this stage, just six months in, we are in a great position," said Ben Hogan, one of the inventors.
Expected to be ready before the end of next year, the team from Liverpool University will attempt to break the world record at the World Human Power Speed Challenge in Battle Mountain, Nevada, which takes place in September, 2015. The current record is held by a Dutch team, who set the record last year when they reached an impressive speed of 83.1mph last year.

It goes without saying: you want the best infant car seat for your newborn. Car seats save lives and reduce injuries, which is why they're required in all 50 states. Most hospitals won't let you take baby home without one.
Baby's first car seat will be an infant car seat, also called a car seat carrier. (The seat detaches from the base and has a built-in handle, so it's a secure, easy way to carry newborns around.) This car seat is always positioned rear-facing, and always in the vehicle's backseat.
Why rear-facing? Because it's the safest position, hands down. The longer you can keep your baby rear-facing, the safer he will be. Rear-facing infant car seats generally support babies up to 22 lbs., although some support as much as 35 lbs. The more, the better!
All car seats must meet or exceed specificcar seat laws and federal standards. From the safety experts' viewpoint, the "best" infant car seat is one that
Beyond these safety basics, some infant car seats offer additional features that, we think, make them better choices. Some offer enhanced safety features or are easier to install correctly. Others provide greater comfort or convenience. Here are some of the things our buyers look for:
And after you buy, be sure to read your manual (even if you rarely read manuals) and follow the manufacturer's installations directions. Many manufacturers also provide installation how-to videos online. Register your car seat with the manufacturer, so you'll be notified of any news or recalls. And, since four out of five car seats are installed incorrectly, periodically take advantage of free car seat inspections held in your area. That way, you'll know your infant car seat is always doing its job to protect your baby.

Chris Froome maintained his 12-second lead at the top of the Critérium du Dauphiné standings after a tough fifth stage on Thursday.
Froome's Team Sky team-mates combined to ensure he reeled in closest rival Alberto Contador in a stage eventually won by Simon Spilak of the Katusha team.
Spilak shrugged off his rivals on the final descent, finishing 14 seconds ahead of Wilco Kelderman and England's Adam Yates, with Froome and Contador in a group of 24 riders who finished three seconds further back.
The result leaves Froome out in front while Kelderman has moved level with Contador in second place in the overall standings as a result of the six bonus seconds he earned at the line.
Froome told Team Sky's official website: "Sometimes it's the days that don't look so hard on paper that turn out to be the really tough ones and today was non-stop.
"It took 85km for the breakaway to form and then Contador went up the road to put us under pressure. I still had four team-mates at that point though which meant I could stay calm in the knowledge they would pull him back.
"I'm hugely proud of the guys today, they did such a massive job and it gives us a lot of confidence moving forward."
Friday's sixth stage sees the riders given a break from the mountains as they traverse the 178.5km stage from Grenoble to Poisy.

Adult to Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation Cohort Study
2013 February
A2ALL LDLT Patients Featured in NIDDK Recent Advances & Emerging Opportunities Publication

NIH Launches Study of Living Donor Liver Transplantation
BETHESDA, MD (October 7, 2002) -The NIH today announced the Adult to Adult Living Donor Liver Transplant Cohort Study (A2ALL), to take place at 10 U.S. centers over the next 7 years. The national project will investigate the experience of a group of patients eligible for living donor liver transplantation, focusing on the factors influencing outcomes of living donor liver transplants for both donors and recipients. Researchers will compare outcomes of this new procedure with the outcomes for patients who receive livers from cadavers.
"Our goal is to gather accurate data in a disciplined, careful way so we can give liver transplant patients and potential donors solid information about the risks and benefits of this innovative and controversial procedure," says Jean Emond, M.D., Chief of Transplantation Services at Columbia University and a co-chair of the study. Carl L. Berg, M.D., Director of Hepatology at the University of Virginia, is also a co-chair. In addition to vital clinical issues, the A2ALL will investigate important research issues such as liver regeneration, liver cancer, and infectious hepatitis.
Liver transplantation is the only cure and a life-saving measure for people with end-stage liver disease. Although liver transplants have become relatively common in the U.S. in recent decades, in 2001 some 17,000 patients waited for livers to be donated, while fewer than 5,000 cadaveric livers were actually donated that year. The shortage of cadaveric organs has led surgeons to look to live donors to close that gap. The liver is a large segmented organ that can potentially be split without harm to the donor and with benefit to the recipient. Because the liver, unlike most organs, has a remarkable ability to regenerate, the donor's remaining liver grows to its original size within weeks. Likewise, the donated lobe will also grow in the recipient's body.
For children in need of liver transplantation, living donor transplantation from an adult has been very successful and has become an accepted medical option. Adults in need of liver transplantation require a larger segment, as much as half or more of the donor's liver. This requires a more extensive and complex surgery, with potentially greater risks for the donor and the recipient. The procedure has evolved so rapidly that over half of the living donor transplants performed to date have occurred since 2000. Evaluation of donors as well as surgical procedures vary from one transplant center to another. Although the large majority of living donor liver transplants have been successful, there are few data to inform potential donors about risks. Post-surgical problems for donors can include infection, pneumonia, and leaking bile, which can require further surgery.
Because the procedure is expanding across the country, a group of concerned doctors called for more research on risks and benefits and an outside regulator to certify hospitals that would perform the procedure in the New England Journal of Medicine (April 4, 2002). They also asked for uniform medical criteria in picking donors and recipients. "There is no regulation of surgical interventions. The A2ALL study can break new ground in shaping the way we approach transplant surgery," adds Robert Merion, M.D., study chair and leader of the data coordinating center at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
"The NIH, with assistance from the American Society of Transplant Surgeons (ASTS) and The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) are cooperating to provide much-needed data about what works best in this emerging surgical field," explains James Everhart, M.D., M.P.H., of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, which is funding the study along with the ASTS. "Transplant surgeons place a great deal of importance on the well-being of both donors and recipients. This partnership with NIDDK should give us solid data for the high quality patient care we all want to provide," adds James Schulak, M.D., ASTS President. HRSA, like the NIH, is a component of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Sony's response to the video game motion-controller fad, the Playstation Move, arrived last Friday. As I am always willing to make great sacrifices for my readers, I ordered the whole shebang and spent some time this weekend checking it out. In this case the whole shebang means the Playstation Move Starter Bundle ($100), the Playstation Move Navigation Controller ($30) and a second Playstation Move Controller ($50). Suddenly Microsoft Kinect's $150 entry fee doesn't seem so bad, does it? Granted you don't need all the moving parts to get started with Move; you can do a lot with just the Starter Bundle, and honestly I've yet to use the Navigation Controller (and you can use a Playstation Sixaxis Controller to accomplish anything the Navigation Controller does, it just isn't quite as ergonomic). I'm going to go out on a limb and say if you're going to buy two of these three items, get the second Move Controller rather than the Navigation Controller.
[ Get news and reviews on tech toys in ITworld's personal tech newsletter]
Anyway I'm getting ahead of myself. The Starter Bundle includes the Playstation Eye camera, one Move Controller, a copy of Sport Champions and a disk full of Move-enabled demos. The Eye camera plugs into a USB port and has to be positioned above or below your TV, in the center. The base of the camera has a flat edge; if you turn that to face backwords you can sort of drape the Eye over the top of a flatscreen TV and it'll hang in place pretty nicely. The Move & Navigation Controllers are both wireless but they have to be charged via a USB cable that is not included. You got one with your PS3 but if you have more than one component you're probably going to want more cables so you can charge several of them at once (these aren't proprietary cables so you may have one that came with some other piece of gear). Of course Sony will happily sell you a charging station, too ($30 and it charges both a Move and a Navigation Controller at the same time). So one of the big criticisms we've seen of the Move is that it's just a Wii-too product. That is, it's essentially a clone of the Nintendo Wii's control scheme. There's real merit to this point, particularly if you limit yourself to playing the Sports Champions games that are included in the Bundle. Sports Champions includes six games: Disc Golf, Gladiator Duel, Archery, Beach Volleyball, Bocce and Table Tennis. It's a good selection since it offers different kinds of experiences: Gladiator Duel will get your heart pounding (and in my case, let me work up a sweat) while Bocce is quite sedate and requires some thought. Disc Golf is a great demo for the precision of the Move; if you've ever thrown a Frisbee then you can play Disc Golf. Gladiator Duel, Archery and Beach Volleyball all support two Move Controllers and particularly in the case of Duel, the second controller (it serves as your shield) really enhances the experience. Most of these games are pretty good. I thought Gladiator Duel was probably the strongest of the bunch, and Volleyball the weakest (it felt more like volleyball drills than a whole game). With six selections I didn't dig deeply into any single game, so keep that in mind.

Macro photos of freshwater amphipods
amphipod tiff spotted edit colour_filtered unsharpen_filtered by ernie.cooper, on Flickr
It has been waaaaay too long since I posted any photos. Funny how life can speed-up and suck all your timeespecially over Christmas holidays when you have kids! Anyhow, Im back and after a 2-week hiatus I have finally posted some photos on my blog of freshwater amphipods (that I took last summer). The photo above is of a very pretty specimen of Gammarus lacustris; apparently the only species of freshwater gammarid amphipod found in British Columbia.
Whenever (and wherever) I have collected freshwater Gammarus in the past, they have been coloured drab shades of brown and olive green. But as you can see, the specimensIcollectedfrom this particular stream showed some real diversity in colouration, including some really pretty specimens with bright red spots on a translucent yellowish body. Others had a single very obvious bright red spot on their side. I still dont know if the spot was on the critters exoskeleton or was something inside the body
amphipod red spot sharpened copyright ernie cooper_filtered by ernie.cooper, on Flickr
I really need to get back to that stream again this summer to collect more of these crittersand do a better job of photographing them
Wow, gorgeous pics. I love the colors!
Fantastic shots
awsome, keep posting.
Thank you.
Hi all, and thank you for the kind words.
The mystery of the amphipod with the red spot has been solved...it turns out that the red spot was actually an acanthocephalan (thorny-headed or spiny-headed worm) parasite called Polymorphus. Acanthocephalans are parasitic and dont have a digestive tract; they are basically a sack containing reproductive organs and musculature with a spiny proboscis that can stick out of one end. The proboscis is used to stab into and attach to the gut of its host (the animal in which it is living and feeding from). They ingest nutrients directly through their body surface.
The cool thing is how Polymorphus alters the behaviour of the host amphipod. Gammarus lacustris are preyed upon by ducks (amongst other predators). Needless to say they generally try to avoid being eaten and tend to avoid light and stay away from the surface (where ducks are). However, Polymorphus eventually causes its host to becomes attracted by light and swim towards the surface to increase the likelihood of being eaten by a duck. The bird then becomes infected by the parasite...
Below Ive uploaded a tightly cropped version of the red-spot photo. Now Im wondering what the little clump is that is growing on the back of the amphipod (in the upper right corner of the photo)?

Study: "Cyclical Relationships' Lead to Stress
|She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not ...
Researchers say the worst relationships
are of the cyclical kind
Scientists call those couples who break up and
reunite, for years or decades, engaged in a
"cyclical relationship" which love counselors
say carry the most drama.
Researchers at the University of Kansas
studied couples who repeatedly
broke up and
reunited. They
found that those couples suffered poor
lower self esteem and more anxiety
about the future.
Dallas love couch Jennifer
Styers says so called
cyclical relationships reflect society's increasing
fear of commitment ... to just about anything.
"It paralyzes people to the point where
they get close and then they back off.
Which, hence, is what I think that the
cycle is."
Styers says people become
reluctant to walk
away forever losing their investment
of time.
"You get close but then too close
and then someone backs off
and then because of the backing
off they get into a comfortable
space and they are able
to enter back in and then the same
cycle happens
over and over."
In an age of insecurity, Styers says the last
thing singles need is insecurity in
what is supposed to be a source of security.
"Cycling like that is very unhealthy
and it probably messes with
people's minds more than a
bad relationship in general," she says.

Biggest, cheapest, best car-top cargo box!
It's huge. Easily holds 2 large suitcases with extra room even. It's strong & secure, latches down tight with a turn of the key. It's light: I did one-man installation by myself. For under $400 you won't find another car-top cargo box that actually keeps your stuff dry. Even driving through rain, everything stays dry. Love it.

What is the problem? Lack of consumer trust
The Digital Agenda for Europe acknowledges the importance of building digital confidence and the difficulty for citizens to be fully aware and understand their existing rights in the digital environment. Today, consumers do not entirely trust cyberspace. Consequently, they are often afraid to take advantage of online services. Consumers will not shop online if they feel their rights are not protected.
Why is EU action needed? To increase confidence in the Digital Single Market
It is necessary to increase consumers' awareness about their protection when acceding and using online services. This will encourage consumers to conduct more activity online and will also contribute to the virtuous cycle of the digital economy, the results of which in terms of growth, jobs and innovation would be largely self-reinforcing.
Digital Agenda for Europe – Action 16 concerns the issuing of a Code of EU Online Rights by 2012 summarising the existing digital user rights in the EU in a clear and accessible way. The Code has been published in December 2012.
The objective of the Code of EU Online Rights is to enable citizens and consumers to find simple, codified explanations of their rights and obligations, set out in a transparent and understandable way.
Under European Union legislation, citizens in the EU already enjoy a series of rights that are relevant to the digital environment, such as freedom of expression and information, protection of personal data and privacy, requirements for transparency and universal functional internet services and a minimum quality of service. However, these rights are scattered across various laws and due to the complexity of the legal framework many online consumers might not be aware of them.
This is precisely the reason for establishing this Code: to make citizens aware of their minimum rights and the principles recognised in EU law when going online, being online, and when buying and consuming services online.
What has the Commission done so far ?
The Code of Online Rights has been published in December 2012.

I need some help from the pros. Ive been an exterior painter professionally for about 12 years now, with minimal interior experience. Everything Ive learned on interior painting has pretty much been self taught. Im working on a customer's house right now, much drywall repair required. Im using the 5 minute sheetrock patching compound to repair these imperfections, letting them dry, sanding them, wiping walls down with a tack cloth, washing the walls with a damp cloth, wait for that to dry, apply primer to patches, wait to dry, then painting. Now Im getting these little bubbles popping up everywhere. What am I doing wrong? Please help
What primer are you using? What paint?
Im using SW's Cashmere low lustre latex paint
Is the peeling just onn the patched areas or is it on the entire wall? Have you tried rolling out just the Cashmere finish on an unprimed, unpatched wall, such as a closet? Doing this will help isolate the cause. What size roller nap are you using?
The one thing I think you can eliminate from your prep is a tack cloth. In drywall finishing/repair only a rag dampened with clear water is necessary. Tack cloths may leave an oily residue behind that a latex topcoat could react to.
Most tack clothes are soaked with a varnish-like material. To eliminate this I think will solve your problem.
It's the five minute patching compound, it's the heat of the plaster content. It's plaster that causes it to harden. I was having a similar problem when I was on my three coats of 45 minute patching compound kick. I was getting bubbles and no one could tell me why. In researching online I stumbled across an out of the way place and found that answer. I switched to two coats of 45 and one final coat of blue lid and the problem went away. I haven't had it since, about three years now.
So, it's all good now. I think I eliminated the problem by removing the tack cloths from the process and using a new quart of primer.
Thanks for all your suggestions!
Gonna go with JSheridan on this one. I have had the same happen to me so I quit using the quickset stuff and haven't had a problem since.........maybe someone brighter than me can explain the chemistry of why this happens.
Possible his new primer has high alkalinity resistance. It's basically plaster, the quicker the dry the more plaster. Five minute stuff, boy do you even get up the ladder? Five is not really for spot patching, it's for heavy work, like filling big holes that need quick turn around.
The moment I read why I was having that problem, and I was having it alot, it dawned on me that it started when I changed my system. Once I switched back it went away for good.
I have had the same problem over the years:censored:. A lot of times I cant Waite for joint compound to dry:no:.one thing I have found out ,I use to mix the mud in the tray using a 6 inch knife ,and I still do ,but now I also use a putty knife to mix it real good .you have to get in the corners of the tray and make sure there is no dry pockets of mud when you are Appling to the wall .in conclusion:huh: stir it good. I am about 2 years with out a bubble:huh:

Connecting power switch to amplifier
I'm almost done wiring up the amplifier (older Punch 150) to drive my subwoofer, using the factory BA system, but am really wondering about something and how it works:
I read a post here (I think by Matt) where it stated you could get the amplifier "switch" (what you'd normally get from an aftermarket power antenna 'out', for instance) from either the cigarette lighter (ignition on) or from one of the factory amp speaker +
The lighter makes sense but I don't want my amp on all the time (the ignition is on), but I am not sure about the speaker method. Does that provide 12 vdc? Would it cause the amp to go on and off between the sound (from that speaker) being on/off/low, etc.?
Any other sources maybe I'm missing? the two yellow/red on the amp seem to be 12 vdc constant, so that's out...I've already wired a dedicated 12 v from the battery for the main power, but need this one and only want to do this once :)
Re: Connecting power switch to amplifier
you can go from the cig lighter. check to see if it only has power when the jeep is on, that is what i did!!!
Re: Connecting power switch to amplifier
Thanks...yeah, I am going to do that as a last resort, but with a manual switch (no matter how I hook it up), so if I don't want to run the amp/sub.
However, I'd really rather have something 'automatic' and "part time", so to speak, so that the amp isn't on every time I turn the ignition on/drive...BTW - is that powered in 'acc' position too?
Re: Connecting power switch to amplifier
You can use the cigarette lighter still, just put a switch in the wire between the cigarette lighter and the amp. If the amp doesn't see the 12v, it will not turn on.
Re: Connecting power switch to amplifier
exactly what EKAZ said, just make sure the toggle switch is a heavy duty one. You want it to hold the current without frying or melting
Re: Connecting power switch to amplifier
True...I was just hoping to provide a more automated method, so I don't have to remember to operate this switch. However, more than likely I'll have to go this way. Guess I better plan on running another wire on back :D (which thankfully is pretty simple on these)
I guess I don't understand how the speaker method would work anyhow...I mean, does it provide 12 vdc? wouldn't it vary? I guess I'm a little confused on that.
Side note on the main power...I am thinking of putting a 20 amp fuse close to the amp and one close to the battery (30 amp?). That long length kind of makes me nervous and the batt. would serve as a safety in case the wire grounded out somewhere and the amp fuse would help protect the amp itself; if that makes sense.
Can't wait to get this sucker hooked up!
Re: Connecting power switch to amplifier
How did you want to automate it? It's either on or off. You can leave the amp to power on everytime the ignition is on and just turn down the bass all the way. I'd like to know how you wanted to automate it as it's more of a I feel like bass today, now I don't. Your amp needs a remote turn on, so a switch in that wire will work. Leave the switch in one position and the amp turns on with the ignition and you're all set. Flip the switch and the amp is off.
As for the speaker deal, it basically "sees" the signal at the speaker and uses that to turn the amp on. It will not cut out during low parts of the music as there is signal as long as the radio is on.
Re: Connecting power switch to amplifier
you just need a remote turn-on lead? I have heard of some using the power button on the rear-view mirror for the radar detectors...or you can pigg-back an acc fuse like I did for my radar detector. Come on with the car, turns off with the car...I can't remember which one I used, but here is a pic. Since this power the radar detect. I am not sure if the same piggy-back will work since all you need is a pulse saying "turn me on"...but it probably would work...guys?
Re: Connecting power switch to amplifier
I guess when I say 'automated', it would operate like an aftermarket system that uses the power antenna lead (from the aftermarket radio if you were using) as the remote switch (or 'automatic' when radio is turned on or off becomes the 'on/off' of the amp). The other switch I am talking about would run inline on this lead and be to bypass the amp/sub (not the factory unit) at times that I don't want to use it; say when I'm sitting in the car at lunch and listening to talk radio...
The speaker thing makes sense but I was starting to get confused if it was a constant 12 vdc signal (that is needed by the amp), being the sound level varies. Perhaps I don't understand how the speaker receives it signals and how it 'knows' what is louder vs. quieter. Meaning, if the voltage doesn't vary, then what does...Watts? I suppose what is confusing me is the amp's requirement of this wattage, if that's the case. Say you had 0.01 watts vs. 26 watts (peak, let's say as an arbitrary #) output to a speaker, is that always 12 volts and would it affect the amp's 'on/off' signal? More specifically, there must be a limit that is needed by the amp? Hope my ? makes sense.
As for that other location, I guess I'm looking for something that is only activated via the radio somehow...I just don't feel comfortable having the amp on all the time everytime the ignition is on...I know I can put a switch on that 'on/off' 12 vdc lead, but again that is something I'd rather avoid (having that as the primary on/off for the amp; as a secondary that's ok, as I explained above), if I can otherwise. However, if the speaker thing doesn't work right (for the watt/voltage, etc. requirement of the amp's on/off). looks like I'll have to go that route. What I like about the speaker thing is that the amp would ONLY be on when the other factory amp/stereo is on...
[Edit - Since I've already piggybacked the right front speaker + with an open buttsplice and I'm gonna run the multimeter there to see how it behaves...If it looks like it's either 0 or 12 vdc, then that'll work, although I'll still run a 'bypass' switch between that output...Just real curious about this whole thing (how that signal varies)...]
Re: Connecting power switch to amplifier
well since I used a PAC adapter I connected the remote turn-on lead from the adapter to the amp...have you thought about using the green (30) fuse under the dash? it is for the stereo amp...would that work?
Re: Connecting power switch to amplifier
I would've preferred that adapter myself, so I didn't have to cut into my amp's harness, but Jeep budget sucks and is mostly non-existent :( I had this Punch 150 for years and finally fixed it (two capacitors inside were bad), as well as a LOC, sub passive crossover, sub and even a noise filter if need be (I have too much crap laying around :D )
I am assuming that 30 amp fuse serves the two yellow/red wires at the amp? If so, those are constant 12 vdc 'all the time' leads...
Re: Connecting power switch to amplifier
OK, update...you cannot use the speaker + as a signal on/off as it's only 6 vdc...So, without going on the radio side of things (which I don't want to at this point) looks like the only other choice for me is to use the accessory power for now, ugh :(

Los Angeles • The creator of "The Walking Dead" is suing AMC over what he claims is an effort to deny him tens of millions of dollars in profit from the hit drama.
Oscar-nominated writer-director Frank Darabont ("The Shawshank Redemption," "The Green Mile") and Creative Arts Agency filed suit Tuesday in New York Supreme Court against defendants including AMC Network Entertainment LLC.
Their suit claims that despite four seasons of "unprecedented programming success and profitability" for the defendants, Darabont hasn't received any profits for developing the series.
AMC declined Wednesday to comment on the suit, which also alleges that Darabont was fired as producer without cause. He developed "The Walking Dead" from Robert Kirkman's comic book series about zombies.

the GM6 & GM 9 Blockers identical to the GM12 though with a vinyl cuff & front as opposed to all leather; the catchers with the GM's 6&9 in some ways superior as they too had more nylon & vinyl but with a leather pocket making them easier to break-in. Not a huge difference really, and several pro's did in fact use/preferred the GM6&9 to the 12's....
as for the armpads, I mean really, what can you say? They were hideously designed. Either all cotton quilted or worse poly/cotton that didnt breathe with inserts for wafer thin pieces of rubber foam about the thickness of a Ritz Cracker. Zero shoulder or collar bone protection, and you wanted a smaller belly pad as they too were otherwise cumbersome, rigid....
and as for the Plante mask, yep, I had one too, but the cheaper model available

for like thirty bucks that really, a tennis ball couldve shattered. Absolute piece of crap. You had to spend like $200+ to get the real deal with the ridge-lines & full wrap, back headplate, roughly double the price of what Harrison & others charged for a custom job. Interesting procedure at that; youd lie down on a bench, bathing cap on your head, straw stuck in your mouth to breath through, eyes taped shut & cotton balls shoved up your nose & into yer ear holes while the Plaster of Paris applied to your face for the mold dried over a couple of hours.
