Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty.3 by Buck Pomerantz Total audio control via your laptop Rockford Fosgate built their 3Sixty.3 processor so you can enjoy amazing sound quality from your vehicle's sound system the quality you'd expect from a high-fidelity home stereo system or a pair of really good headphones. This sophisticated signal processor works with your laptop to give you awesome control. Once you load the software from the included setup CD, you can connect the 3Sixty.3 to your laptop with the included USB cable, and get to work creating a perfect-sounding system with the user interface controls displayed on your computer's screen. Setting up The 3Sixty.3 can handle up to 8 inputs, whether they're line-level signals from an aftermarket receiver or speaker-level signals from a factory radio. You can set the input signals to combine together or stay distinct, and then assign them to up to 8 output channels. The setup CD includes a track to help set input levels and another track that's used in the "Auto Normalize" feature that flattens the entire system's EQ response curve automatically. The remote amp turn-on connection features an adjustable delay, so you'll never hear a pop when you turn your system on. Add sources The 3Sixty.3 lets you add sources through both auxiliary RCA and TOSLINK optical connections. A wired remote control lets you switch between main source, auxiliary input, optical, or a Bluetooth® enabled device. The Bluetooth feature can be set to "Auto Play," which automatically switches the source over to your Bluetooth device when it sends out a notification or plays music. Central control The main user interface screen displays your speaker configuration, a wired remote simulator, an EQ graph, and the EQ controls. Each of the 3Sixty.3's 8 channels has its own crossover network, level adjustment, delay setting, polarity switch, and 31 bands of equalization. You can link channels together, if you want them to have identical EQ settings. The main control panel for the 3Sixty.3, as it appears on your computer's screen Crossover networks Each crossover network can be set as a high-pass, low-pass, all-pass, bandpass, high-shelf, or low-shelf filter, so you can take care of virtually any combination of speaker components. You can choose between 4 classes of crossover filters to achieve the exact audio response you want. (See bullets for details.) If that weren't enough, you can also select between 4 different slopes for each crossover response curve to attain unbelievable clarity from each of your speakers. EQ and time alignment The 31-band parametric equalizer on each channel gives you the sonic power and control to really make your sound system sing. (That's 248 total bands of EQ, if you want to tweak them all.) Time alignment can be accomplished by measuring distances or by time settings, so your music gets centered on your listening position for an incredible improvement in musical clarity and realism.

Features Controls Connections Features Interactive Signal Processor: As the automotive manufacturers increasingly make their source units (radios) an integral part of the vehicle, it becomes increasingly harder to change them out and upgrade your system. The Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty.3 Interactive Signal Processor makes it possible to utilize your vehicle's factory source unit and still create the sound experience that fits you. With an easy to use interface, the 3Sixty.3 connected to your vehicle's source unit and an amplifier, you can create a sound stage that is personally tuned to your vehicle. The 3Sixty.3 gives you all the benefits of creating the best system possible without compromising the manufacturer's integrated source system. The Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty.3 Interactive Signal Processor is the perfect solution if you need to add aftermarket equipment to your factory source unit, integrate your mobile devices, or have complete control over your car audio signal. The 3Sixty.3 can function as an OEM integration "black box" or a complete surround sound DSP. Featuring 8-channels of interactive signal processing, it can handle the most complex system design. Plus with features like Bluetooth streaming, selectable crossover types, and a USB interface; the 3Sixty.3 offers the versatility you need to upgrade your OEM car audio system without replacing the factory head unit. Note: To tune the 3Sixty.3 properly to your factory car audio system, the source unit must have a CD player and an amplifier with RCA inputs. A Windows PC laptop is also required for initial setup and adjustments. DSM: DSM (an industry-leading manufacturing process) utilizes high-speed robotics, high-quality 1% tight-tolerance parts, and large board traces. The discrete components are laser etched to meet a particular value and a very low tolerance. This lower tolerance improves the efficiency of the circuit, decreases cross-talk from other discrete components, and lowers operating temperature. T Frequency Normalization: Frequency normalization is achieved by characterizing the frequency response of the audio source based on a reference input signal. This reference input signal is used to establish a reference frequency response, which is stored in memory and used to select equalizer settings. The system restores missing spectral content by summing multiple input signals from the audio source. The system then normalizes the frequency response based on characterizations of the signal by utilizing equalizer settings from memory. Bluetooth A2DP Audio Streaming: The 3Sixty.3 includes a Bluetooth wireless dongle which allows you to wirelessly stream audio from your Bluetooth-enabled device. RFLink: RFLink is a communication protocol allowing multiple Rockford Fosgate components to link-up with each other to provide intelligent control. The 3Sixty.3 features two RFLink jacks. Either one can be used to connect the included wired remote control. Power LED: The RF logo illuminates white once initialized, illuminates blue when connected to a PC, flashes blue when transmitting data to/from a PC, and flashes red when a problem has occurred. Mounting Options: The Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty.3 should be mounted inside the vehicle, such as under the passenger seat. It can also be mounted in the trunk area. It should never be mounted inside the engine compartment. Controls Interactive Graphic User Interface (GUI) Controlled via Windows PC: Once you have installed the Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty.3, a windows PC laptop will be need for initial setup and adjustments for the interactive signal processor to properly work with your system. The 3Sixty.3 includes a setup disc with windows PC software to configure the interactive sound processor to your vehicle and car audio system. Your PC must use a Windows XP, VISTA, or 7 OS with at least one USB (type-A) connection and have an internet connection. Once you've loaded the software onto your Windows laptop, you will then insert the disc into your vehicle's source unit (head unit). Configuration Menu: The Configuration menu is used to set up the assign input/output configuration, input summing, assign source presets, input level set, and denormalization of a high level input, of the 3Sixty.3 processor Assign Input/Output: The 3Sixty.3 can handle up to 8-channels of input and 8-channels of output. In the Assign Input Configuration page there are three possible input sources available; Low Level (RCA), High Level (Speaker), Optical (Toslink). The input and output channels can be assigned in any configuration/combination. The labeling of the inputs and outputs on the 3Sixty.3 is simply a guide for the most common system found in vehicles. Input Summing: The 3Sixty.3 can take two or more non full-range, high-level signals and combine them to make one full-range low level signal. When an input is set "High Level (Speaker)" you are given the opportunity to select an output channel from the diagram and select which inputs you would like to sum for that output channel. You must assign at least one input channel for each output channel. Assign Source Presets: The 3Sixty.3 can save up to four separate EQ settings (Presets). The four presets can be setup so that each source can have a dedicated EQ setting or so that each source can run multiple EQ settings. Any source that does not have a preset assigned to it will be disabled. the remote will skip any unused sources and presets during selection mode. Input Level Setup: The 3Sixty.3 utilizes a very unique circuit to detect the maximum output voltage that can be achieved from each channel of your source unit at a very low THD level. The 3Sixty.3 comes with a special modulated signal on track 1 of the Setup Disk that is used to measure the source unit's output. Insert the Setup Disk into your source unit, and select track #1. Each input channel selected in the Assign Input Configuration window will display a level meter, indicating the voltage for that channel as well as the amount of THD measured. The THD level is indicated by the color of the level meter. A green level meter indicates an acceptable amount of THD, while a red level meter indicates an unacceptable level. Turn the volume on the source unit to maximum, then reduce the volume until the level meter for every channel is green. Then, make note of the final source volume on the source unit level, which is the maximum level the source unit should be turned up to once the installation is complete. On the "Input Attenuators" page, the input level of each channel is displayed using a level meter and underneath each level meter is an attenuation level slider. In order to ensure an equal output voltage on all channels, the "Auto Range" feature attenuates each input channel to 2V before entering the DSP. This is the maximum input voltage needed to achieve the maximum 8Vrms on the 3Sixty.3's output. Input Denormalization: The 3Sixty.3's input denormalization function is designed to measure the electrical frequency response of each channel from your source unit and calculate the correction curve needed to flatten the output of each channel. It then combines the correction curve with the source units output, giving you a flat frequency response on the output channels. Select track #2 (Correlated Pink noise) on the 3Sixty.3 setup disk. The volume of the source unit can be left at its maximum level unless the source unit has a volume dependant equalization circuit such as most BOSE systems, in which case the source unit should be set to half of the maximum level calculated when level setting the input. Select the "Auto Normalize" button, this can take approximately 1-5 minutes to calculated the correction curve needed to normalize the output. You can now use the drop down menu to switch between the measured input frequency response and the corrected output frequency response displayed on the graph. The color correlating to each channel on the graph will be displayed on the right hand side. The "Read Results" button on the left hand side is only used when a 3Sixty.3 processor unit has been previously configured and the user wants to view the input or output curves previously calculated without rerunning the "Auto Normalize" function. Speaker Selection: The upper left of the GUI displays a picture of a vehicle with the speakers (channels) displayed that were initialized in the Assign Input/Output section of the initial configuration. Each speaker (channel) can be configured individually or you can link together channels. For convenience the sub woofer channels just have one check box to link the level, crossover, and EQ. By selecting to link the left and right channel level, crossover, or EQ together what you do with one side will be duplicated to the other side. The speaker (channel) that is selected will be highlighted blue and the channels name will be displayed above the vehicle diagram. Equalizer: The EQ graph will start with a perfectly flat response (20-20KHz) when first setting up your equalizer, then any changes/additions to the 31-band EQ, filters, or Q, will be displayed in the EQ graph. Every channel has its own independent (unless linked) EQ adjustments. The EQ adjustments can be broken down into three separate sections; Crossover Network(s), Level & Delay, and the 31-Band EQ Adjustments. Crossover Networks: The crossover adjustments consist of three parts; Crossover Type, Crossover Class, and Crossover Slope. Crossover Type: The crossover type for each channel can be configured as either high-pass (HPF), low-pass (LPF), band-pass (BPF), low-shelf (LSF), high-shelf (HSF) or completely by-passed (AP). After selecting the crossover type, you will need to enter the frequencies (20-20kHz) you would like your filter(s) to cutoff at. Crossover Class: The crossover class for each channel can be configured as either Linkwitz (Q=0.49), Bessel (Q=0.58), Butterworth (Q=0.707), or Chebychev (Q=1.0). If you are not sure which class to use, we recommend starting with a Butterworth filter because of its flat response characteristics. Crossover Slope: The crossover slope for each channel can be configured as either 12dB/octave, 24dB/octave. 36dB/octave, or 48dB/octave. The steeper the slope, the faster the roll-off; resulting in less content passing through the device from the unwanted frequency range. Level & Delay: The level for each channel of the 3Sixty.3 can be attenuated up to -40dB. This feature can be used to; reduce the output voltage for amplifiers that have a maximum input voltage that is less than 8V, adjust the balance or fade, or to level set a source. Each channel of the 3Sixty.3 can be delayed by up to 10 msec. The delay can be entered in distance or time. 31-Band EQ Adjustments: The 3Sixty.3's 31-band parametric EQ has five main adjustments used to adjust the outputs frequency response; Band, Frequency, Q, Gain, and Polarity. There is also three master resets that can be used to return each main EQ adjustment back to default. In addition to the four main adjustments, you can invert the phase or mute the selected channel(s). Band: Each channel of the 3Sixty.3 has a variable 31 band EQ. The default frequency for each band is set to 1/3 octave increments, however each band's frequency can be changed to any desired frequency. Frequency: Each band of the EQ has a variable frequency (20-20kHz) that the user can change from the default value. Q: Each band of the EQ has a variable Q that the user can change from 0.1 to 6. Gain: Each band of the EQ has a variable gain that the user can adjust the level from -24dB to +24dB. Polarity: You can choose to reverse the polarity of each channel. Balanced/Unbalanced Switch: For matching the output of the 3Sixty.3 to the input of the amplifier, the interactive signal processor utilizes a compensation circuit to insure an 8V pre out regardless of the switch position. Remote Output Delay: Remote Output Delay Timing options include 1 sec, 2 sec, 4 sec, or 8 sec. This allows you to customize the time delay from when the 3Sixty.3 initializes (turns on) to when it turns on any external amplifiers connected to its REM OUT (blue wire in 4 pin power harness). This extended timing ensures that the source unit and 3Sixty.3 are on and initialized before initializing (turning on) the amplifiers, therefore eliminating any turn-on "pop" noise. Wired Remote Control: The included wired remote features two 3-way rotary knobs. The two knobs can be programmed to control two of the following three functions when rotating the knobs; Master Volume, Sub Output Level, and Punch EQ Output Level. Pressing the knob on the left selects between four inputs (Main, Bluetooth, AUX, & Optical). Pressing the right knob switches between 4 stored EQ presets. The wired remote control's 8 LEDs indicate multiple functions. If either of the knobs are rotated all 8 LEDs work sequentially to indicate the level of what the user has configured that knob to do. When no LEDs are illuminated the configured knob is at its minimum output level position, and when all the LEDs are illuminated it indicates the max output level position. When no knobs have been rotated or 5 seconds after one has been rotated, the LEDs function changes to indicate the "Preset" selected (1-4) on the four LEDs above the right knob and the "Source" selected on the four LEDs above the left knob. The source LEDs are as follows; (1) Main, (2) Bluetooth, (3) AUX, and (4) Optical. The wired remote control comes with 19.5' of cable and a mounting bracket, and should be mounted in a location that is readily accessible to the driver. The casing surround the remote control can be removed to flush-mount the device. Connections Power/Ground Connections: The 3Sixty.3 interactive signal processor includes a detachable 4-pin connector with 16AWG wire leads for the Power, Ground, Remote In, and Remote Out. 8-Channel RCA Inputs/Outputs: The Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty.3 is equipped with 8 RCA inputs and 8 RCA outputs for Front Left/Right channels, Front 2 Left/Right channels, Rear Left/Right channels, and Sub Left/Right channels. The RCA terminals are nickel-plated to resist signal degradation and corrosion. Note: The 3Sixty.3 can be set up to create a 8-channel output with only 2-channels (Left & Right) of input. However, for the best sound stage, it is strongly recommended to connect into all of the outputs from the vehicles factory system. If you are not using all 8 inputs (Front/Front2/Rear/Sub) you can SUM the inputs during configuration under the OEM system setup. Keep in mind that if you choose to use SUM, all left channels selected will form one signal and all right channels selected will form one signal. Stereo imaging will be maintained, but your fader may cease to function depending on the channels selected to sum.8-Channel High-Level Input (w/ Signal Sense Turn-On): The interactive digital processor includes a detachable 16-pin connector with 16AWG wire leads for connecting up to 8 high-level channels of input. The 3Sixty.3's high-level input offers automatic signal sense turn-on, which means the device automatically turns on when it senses an audio signal. Note: Make sure to maintain signal polarity when using the high level inputs. Failure to do so may cause undesirable phasing effects and the signal sense may not turn on the unit.AUX RCA Input: The Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty.3 is fitted with a stereo RCA auxiliary input for connection of an external portable audio device. Optical Input: The unit's optical (toslink) input supports stereo PCM audio (S/PDIF) 48kHz/24-bit. USB Port: The interactive signal processor utilizes a USB 2.0 (type-B) connector to connect the 3Sixty.3 to your Windows PC for programming.

I purchased this product to upgrade the quality of my entire audio system and at first, I was highly impressed with the sound. I went with an all-Rockford setup in my 2013 Mustang, but decided to return this processor. The sound quality was okay, but I made up my mind to return this processor. Pros: Outputs decent quality. It will definitely boost the audio gains you can expect from installing this processor. Installation is simple and the software is very easy to use when setting up. Cons: -Software pulls up once out of five attempts. Causes the computer to crash far too often -Bluetooth is a waste, especially if you're running Samsung or a majority of newer Android devices. My LG G3 can't even connect to the processor and Rockford stated their BT isn't great with connecting to products outside of Apple, which I don't use. -Too much pink noise and distortion. No amount of tuning could solve this and it was VERY annoying. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 360.3 for OEM Written By Kevin M., Houston, Tx on Thursday, August 21, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) great device for OEM integration. gives you all the ability to adjust settings to your liking. install was simply, software setup wasn't difficult either. Pros: easy install, ability to adjust settings, software, bluetooth Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 The Good and the Bad! Written By JF, NorCal on Tuesday, July 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The unit sounds great when you are able to get the PC interface working. Connecting was hit or miss, I would say 1 out of 4 tries worked. The 360.3 is very slow to respond to changes in the software. Each change will cause the audio to mute for a second. This includes eq, volume and delay settings. Very annoying. As far as a DSP interface, this one is dragging it's knuckles on the evolutionary scale. DSP has been out since circa 1990's, the 360.3 should be much better than it is. The bluetooth interface, which attracted me to the unit, worked ok, occasionally it would loose connection. Strange, intermittent issues with the remote were first traced to the proximity of the supplied cable to the stock class D amp (found this out on youtube, confirmed by RF) and later the cable itself had issues. I gave two stars for physical attributes and overall sound quality. 20 years a professional audio engineer and 25 as a car audio guy, I have never had to fight with any piece of gear like this one. Pros: The unit is a good size and easy to mount. The control and USB interface cables are off the shelf and easy to replace for resale The software is basic IMO very similar to the BitOne. The unit did not give off much heat.The sound was fine and the physical layout is well thought out. Once things were set I was happy, until I encountered the listed interface issues wanting to make adjustments. Bluetooth was nice when working Cons: Slow, temperamental USB interface, Software changes causing mute and delay. Remote cable should be shielded and labeled with the known class D interference issue. LED brightness on remote needs addressing. Bluetooth could use some improvement. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Product!!! Written By PK, Garden Grove, CA on Monday, October 07, 2013 This is the best OEM integration processor I've installed for my car stereo. The flexibility is unlimited, I can do so much to improve the sonic quality of my stock head unit. Installation was easy too, the balanced output is completely noise free even when the amplifier gain was up pretty high. I upgraded to the 3Sixsy.3 to place my old AudioControl LCQ-1 and what a big difference. It took me a long time fine tune the LCQ-1 to be acceptable and only minutes with 3Sixty.3 to sound great. I would recommend this unit for any OEM integration upgrade, it totally eliminates the sound quality and amplifier compatibility issue with your current OEM system. Pros: Every feature is a Pros. Cons: None, if only I can connect to unit wireless to tune it instead thru the USB cable. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Impressive technology Written By BD, Memphis TN on Thursday, June 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Unbelievably versatile, not for the beginner, great value for all it is capable of. Pros: Best way to get aftermarket sound with oem controls. If used in a fully active setup, you can (and must) adjust everything correctly to get the best sound. Cons: You can adjust everything, so if you aren't versed in proper use of time alignment, crossover settings, eq adjustment, amp headroom and gains, etc... You need a pro!! I am a pro (engineer now, did car audio professionally some years ago), and I had to do research to figure it all out. 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Good 2 go! Written By Sean, Ohio on Tuesday, December 25, 2012 I recently purchased this. This is a very good unit the sound quality is also good, it automatically analyzed my vehicle & did an initial tuning but I still need to do more fine tuning myself, a big plus for me was there was no turn on or turn off click or thump, unlike my previous integration unit. There are a lot of features on this unit I'm still learning about. But overall I am very pleased with my purchase. Pros: Sound Q & the many features Cons: Slight to loud humming coming from the unit when u turn up the volume on the unit itself it plays thru the sub. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked Will the unit get ride of enjin noise? [ Ronald Sep 04, 2014 ] 6 answers If you are still using the factory head unit for the car rather than an after market there is a bit of a hissing sound that is produced from the speakers. However, the sound is very clear when you turn up the volume. As for engine noise, there is none that I could hear of. I feel that if I were to use an aftermarket unit; the 3sixty.3 would perform much better since it would not have to convert the factory audio to flat. Knowing that there is no aftermarket kit for my car yet I will have to settle with what I have. [ Ashley Sep 09, 2014 ] Not likely to remove engine noise. Common problem for engine noise = grounding. [ Kevin Sep 05, 2014 ] No, this unit or any other will not get rid of engine noise per say. It might provide a band aid however there is probably and underlining issue somewhere. Engine noise can be a number of things. Bad equipment ground to chassis, burned trace on circuit board(s), poorly designed gear, wire shorted to chassis. Hunting down noise is as much science as it is luck sometimes. [ John Sep 05, 2014 ] I don't know that it would get rid of it.. It depends where the noise is originating. Most engine noise is eliminated with good solid ground connections and proper install.. [ MARC C Sep 05, 2014 ] Contrary to those trying to sell expensive cables, filters, etc., engine noise is usually caused by a ground plane issue. Ground all 12V system components, like your amps, head unit, powered crossovers, 360 (if you get one), etc. in the same place. Important note- the common ground you create can be an extra ground if one of the components is already grounded by it's chasis; in other words, there's no need to isolate everything. This has worked for me 99% of the time. In rare cases where you have really crappy components or a super noisy alternator and/or bad/loose alternator wiring or some other issue I've not encountered, the noise may not go fully away. If this is the case, the troubleshooting can get a bit more complex. Now, back to the 360; I purchased it, because I wanted to create a complex system but keep my fctory head unit. It's also VERY good at adjusting the soundstage. [ BRADLEY L Sep 05, 2014 ] No it will not get rid of it.

FMW Fasteners has added the complete line of Powers Fasteners' Wall-Dog™ Light Duty Anchors to an already vast line of online anchor products.
"We have incrementally built our online anchor product offering with premium products from the best manufacturers in North America," said Taha Raja, General Manager of FMW Fasteners. "The addition of the Powers' Wall-Dog™ Light Duty Anchors to our web store gives the online consumer access to the complete line of Wall-Dog™ products in quantities, colors and head types that they won't find in the typical Home Depot, Lowe's or local hardware store."
"The Wall-Dog™ anchor is unique in both it's simplicity and it's versatility," said Steve Baker, Sales Manager at FMW Fasteners. "As a single piece anchor with no moving parts or secondary components needed, the Wall-Dog™ can be used in drywall, wood, brick, concrete and plaster. This makes it a very attractive choice for the at home do-it-yourself consumer, the general contractor that faces every situation imaginable in the field or the installer that has to adapt to different base materials to install their products."
Looking for Promotional codes or Free Shipping? FMW Fasteners is currently offering several "promo codes" (one for $10 off and another for 15% off) that can be used at the time of order in their web store. To receive these automatically you must register online at www.fmwfasteners.com (or in many cases a quick Google search will return active codes that can be used). All online orders of $25.00 or more qualify for free shipping.
Powers Fasteners, Inc. has been a worldwide pioneer in the fastening industry since 1921 and today is the leading supplier of concrete and masonry anchors and fastening systems in North America. Powers has extensive engineering and manufacturing expertise in several product groups, including mechanical anchors, adhesive anchoring systems and powered forced-entry systems such as powder-actuated and gas fastening systems. For more information, visit http://www.powers.com.
FMW Fasteners is an online provider of anchor products, nuts, bolts, socket products and screws. Founded in 1986 in Houston, Texas, FMW Fasteners stocks premium products by Brighton Best, Simpson Strong-Tie Anchor Systems, Swan Secure - A part of the Simpson Strong-Tie Family, Toggler® Anchor Systems, Powers Fasteners and many more.

We just let the dawgs out.
Experts — journalists, analysts, consultants, bankers and gurus can't "do" so they "advise." They can tell you what is wrong with your product, but they cannot make a great one. They can tell you how to sell something, but they cannot sell it themselves. They can tell you how to create great teams, but they only manage a secretary. For example, the experts told us that the two biggest shortcomings of Macintosh in the mid 1980s was the lack of a daisy-wheel printer driver and Lotus 1-2-3; another advice gem from the experts was to buy Compaq. HEAR what experts say, but don't always listen to them.

FMW Fasteners has added metric bolting to their online store with the addition of DIN 931 Class 8.8 Hex Cap Screws, DIN 933 Class 8.8 Fully Thread Hex Tap Bolts and Class 8 Hex Nuts.

"Our customers continue to drive the evolution of our business and the demand for metric fasteners is a part of that growth," said Steve Baker, Sales Manager at FMW Fasteners.

Free shipping options are always available along with some additional ways to save through promotional codes or Google Checkout."

Ladies and Gentleman, I present to you…THE WEEKEND. Have a great one!
Beautiful Friday morning here in Houston…let's do this!
WEDGE-ALL® wedge anchors are a non-bottom bearing, wedge style expansion anchor for use in solid concrete or grout-filled masonry. A one-piece clip ensures uniform holding capacity that increases as tension is applied. Guaranteed to bring you years and years of enjoyment…
How SMBs find cloud success…read more
FluoroKote#1 possesses a low coefficient of friction which reduces torque requirements. When FluoroKote#1 coated fasteners are used, galling and seizing issues are dramatically reduced.
Due to the absence of nut locking oxides after extensive exposure to corrosive environments, fasteners coated with FluoroKote#1 do not need to be removed by torching, cutting or nut splitting.
The easy on/off properties exhibited by these fasteners provide safe removal with wrenches. Lower plant maintenance and increase safety by using FluoroKote#1 coated fasteners.
Really glad to hear that the East Coast was able to make it through the weekend without too much damage from wind, rain and storm surge. Hopefully post storm flooding doesn't become an issue. Only 3 more months of Hurricane Season! WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
"The cure for Apple is not cost-cutting. The cure for Apple is to innovate its way out of its current predicament."
[Innovate: make changes in something established, esp. by introducing new methods or ideas]"—Steve Jobs - May, 1999
[Excerpt from a real email]
"Is it possible for me to contact someone you sold a carton of the screws I need and try to buy 50-75 of them from them?
I'd throw in a "Crawfish Lizzy's Daiquiri Shak t-shirt if it will help-they're flashy & they're soft. It's my give-away but most guys I give them to never get to wear them because their significant other usually takes them for a nightie."
and I'm the mayor…
Can you please quote me 100 pieces of each line of this 167 line RFQ…
[Cris Carter voice] C'mon MAN!!!!!

It seems we need 28 hours out of 24. The best we do is 24 x 7 with online sales www.fmwfasteners.com
Have the floodgates opened today? Extremely busy and not just locally…bring it!
It's monday morning, second cup of coffee, markets are tumbling, the S&P has downgraded Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in a move related to the US Treasury downgrade, the media and the blogosphere is buzzing about what this means…my sense is that this is the new normal.
The markets continue to answer with a single reaction to the uncertainty, "Sell first, ask questions later." What does this mean for our economy? For your small business? In what ways are we going to be impacted?
No one fully understands the outcome at this point to answer these questions but I do think that the long-term outcome of the "Great Recession" of our lifetime is that work has changed, forever. Anyone care to share their thoughts on ways to best survive going forward?
Small business owner,
Do you ever receive these?
Dear Sirs,
How are you ? Hope you everything well.
Our factory is specialized in manufacturing various of metal products. Please find attached some of our products.
Also, we can manufacture for you according to your drawings or samples, please feel free to contact us if you are in need of metal products,we would like to give you our best price and service.

UM-Dearborn's community service personnel scholarship program has helped nearly 30 police officers further their education
July 18, 2011
DEARBORN / July 18, 2011---Nearly 30 local police officers are furthering their education at a reduced cost thanks to a community service personnel scholarship program at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
Since Fall 2009, the University has formed partnerships with eight police departments: Allen Park, Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, Detroit, Novi, Southfield, Taylor and the Wayne County Sheriffs Office.
These partnerships allow officers pursuing undergraduate or graduate degrees at UM-Dearborn the opportunity to receive a special scholarship which provides a credit for 20 percent of their tuition costs and fees each semester.
Prospective students may be admitted to any undergraduate or graduate program the university offers as long as the programs admission and eligibility criteria are met. UM-Dearborns 20 percent tuition credit works in conjunction with any tuition reimbursement program offer by the police departments.
The city of Dearborn Heights is the newest municipality to join the program. The citys mayor, Daniel Paletko, a 1973 College of Business alumnus, visited campus last month to participate in a signing ceremony for the partnership.
We are pleased to join the University of Michigan-Dearborn in this partnership Paletko said. The University has a long-standing history of educational excellence we are confident this will prove to be a great benefit to the city, eligible members of our police department and the University.
This is a historic event for the University of Michigan-Dearborn and the city of Dearborn Heights, said Kevin Early, associate professor of sociology and director of the Criminal Justice Studies Program at UM-Dearborn. This partnership will strengthen the relationship between law enforcement and the academic community. We look forward to working closely with the city of Dearborn Heights.
Paletkos officers will join the 27 others who have already received scholarships as part of the program. Collectively, these students have received more than $32,000 from UM-Dearborn for their undergraduate and graduate studies on campus.
Partnerships with additional city police departments are in the works, according to Susan Cushnier, who helps manage the program at UM-Dearborn.
About UM-Dearborn
Founded in 1959 with a gift of just over 200 acres of land and $6.5 million from the Ford Motor Company, University of Michigan-Dearborn is a metropolitan university serving southeastern Michigan, committed to excellence rooted in strong academics, innovative research and programming and civic engagement. The University has nearly 8,900 students pursuing more than 90 bachelor's, masters, doctoral and professional degrees in liberal arts and sciences, engineering, business and education.

Comfy, Cozy with Relaxed Look
I bought this out of season at an unbelievable $40.I needed a really slouchy "ez to travel with" coat to visit family up north in winter. I guess it's oatmeal (I call it taupe). It not only gets attention for being comfy & warm looking, it doubles as a toasty blanket in airports, etc. It can be tossed in a bag, pulled out & worn in a flash. Really happy I snagged the bargain.

Warm in Milwaukee!
I don't usually write reviews, but this coat is the best coat I've ever had. I've have the oatmeal colored one in tall as I am 5'10. It's awesome to have a coat with long sleeves and enough room inside the coat to wear a thick sweater and long Johns. :) I purchased one for my 6 ft tall Swedish friend in MN.' She loves it too! Last winter I purchased a red one for myself. Please continue selling this coat in tall. I noticed that last season the tall size was not an option. I had to purchase it in x lg and tailor it.

Great coat
Living in Chicago can be pretty cold in the winter. This coat kept me warm and looks great! I'm 6 foot and this was perfectly long! Love that!! My only complaints are that the hood is too pointy, you like a cone-head with it up! Also the buttonholes are too big. The coat never stayed closed.

Long Berber Coat
Fantastic coast. Would highly recommend it and the price is great. I bought it in the beige/oatmeal color and get compliments every time I wear it. It is fantastically warm and cozy and can add many layers under it when in snowy climes. I love it so much I am now going to purchase the red one and keep looking at the black one too, but as I live in southern California!!! -- that seems a bit excessive.

Light and Bright: 10 Sorbet Recipes and Other Non-Dairy Frozen Treats
Kitchn Recipe Roundup
Sorbet is an all-season treat, but my love for it really doesn't hit its peak until the languid months of mid-summer, when ice cream starts to feel a bit too rich, too heavy for my torpid existence. I need something light, cool, and juicy, and sorbet is exactly it. However, this makes it a lovely treat for late spring, too. Here are a few favorite sorbet recipes from our archives, along with a few other special non-dairy frozen treats. (Sweet wine slushies, anyone?)
• 1 Spring Dessert Recipe: Strawberry and Honey Sorbet
• 2 Plum Sorbet with Lemon Verbena Cream
• 3 Summer's End Nectarine Sorbet
• 4 20-Minute Almond Berry Sorbet
• 5 Recipe Review: Yogurt Sorbet from Patricia Wells
• 6 Spiced Apple Cider Sorbet
• 7 Try This at Home: Influenza Sorbet from Jeni's
• 8 Sweet Wine Slushies: One Ingredient, Elegant, & Easy

When I've made sorbet, it's frozen into a brick after popping it in the freezer. Does anyone have a suggestion as to why this happens and how to prevent it? I'd love it make it more often. Thanks!
@SWEETPEACOOKS: Add a teeny little bit of alcohol to the sorbet while it is churning. It keeps the sorbet from freezing solid and helps it remain scoopable with the texture you expect.
You can choose a complimentary liqueur depending on the flavor. I use orange liquer in raspberry sorbet, and I think khalua would be a nice addition to chocolate sorbet. I'd say a tablespoon per quart for liqueur with less alcohol and maybe a teaspoon for vodka/rum (not too much or it won't freeze at all). Those are not exact measurements, though. You may want to find recipes that include alcohol and see how much they advise, for when you want to taste alcohol and when you just want to improve texture.
Awesome tip, I just got an ice cream maker and was worried about that.
i second @Irina is Dinner! alcohol definitely keeps sorbets/frozen yogurts from getting too hard/icy in the freezer.
i recently used a tablespoon of vodka (cheap stuff-- in a plastic bottle) in a quart of frozen yogurt-- you can't taste a thing, and the texture is totally perfect. the first time i made the recipe, i omitted the vodka, and the frozen yogurt turned into a brick in the freezer-- so vodka really made a big difference!
I thought I used something boozy in my strawberry sorbet last year, but maybe I didn't :) I did use some amaretto in a chocolate yogurt and it was still a brick. I'll have to try it again this year. Thanks!
might you have an especially cold freezer? Does store bought ice cream get really hard too?
This is amazing!! Looks so delicious!!
I have a blog that is devoted to homemade non dairy ice cream and sorbets!
please have a look! :)

"Great (long) listen"
The story sounds a LOT like Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, or George R. R. Martin's series. So if you liked either of those then you'll like this.
It's LONG. Very very long, which is a good thing if you like long audiobooks as I do. I listened to all of part one (~7 hours I believe) without fast forwarding at all... by part 2 however, I ended up FF through some of the longwinded descriptions. (But I listened to Jordan's book 10 on audio and FF through parts of it as well.)
The narrator is pretty good - he tries hard to change voices and, for the most part, you can tell the characters apart from his tone. He mispronounces the odd word but otherwise, he's completely listenable.
I would buy this audiobook again... so if you like long detailed fantasy (very detailed), you should like this. If you prefer your stories short and to the point... perhaps this isn't the one.
"Reviews are misleading: a very good urban fantasy"
I got this book a couple years ago and just got around to reading it last week. I read the reviews before I started it and didn't really have high expectations, based on those reviews.
Hmmm... I don't know what those others are reading that made them think this book is less than a 4 for its genre. It is an urban fantasy with a female protagonist who is not weak and whiny - that in itself makes this book exceptional. The fact that there was also a story, some character development and some believable romantic angst just bumps it upward.
There isn't much sex, but what there is was well-done and believable. The story was reasonable, and, while maybe the bad guy scenes were a bit over-long, they were okay too. The only thing I would note as a drawback to the story was how William felt very much like an 'add-on' - and his role in the story as it relates to Rose was way more 'weighty' than it should have been, given how little time passes.
But, ultimately, as soon as I finished this book (yesterday), I bought the next in the series from Audible and am starting it today. The narration is good - she does seem to over emphasize sometimes, but overall she does a good job. There is no graphic violence, a little bit of somewhat detailed (but short) sex and minimal swearing.
"Nice collection of well written short stories"
Considering that, for the most part, I don't like short stories, this was an exceptionally well-written, interesting and original collection. I have read some of Bacigalupi's works before (Wind Up Girl comes to mind), and I like the dark, depressing future bio-tech world the author has created. All these stories are set in the same world - or, if not the exact same, the same type of world - and they almost feel related, even though they all have separate plots and characters... it is the tone, pacing, and bio-tech I guess, that makes it feel like a single story.
I enjoyed some stories more than others, but as the ones I enjoyed the most are not the same ones that other reviewers enjoyed, I guess that is personal taste. Essentially, though, they are all clearly written by the same author and if you like the first story in the book, you should like all of them well enough. The stage is the same, just the actual characters change.
The stories have different narrators, and, while all of them are at least good, some of them are better narrators than others. I don't think you'll find any of them off-putting though. The stories are dark but not graphic or gory.
"Even better if the humour resonates with you"
I started this book once and put it down because the first few pages simply didn't engage me. I thought the first character/scene was a bad choice to start a book with, and it seemed that it was setting a tone (almost humorous) that I didn't think fit the concept (zombies)...
Then I picked it up again and forced myself through the first chapter and, suddenly, found that it was actually a pretty decent zombie novel. It retained a strange sense of humour throughout which I didn't quite "get", but that might be because I have no idea what rural Wisconsin is like. And I have never met in real life anyone who was anything like the majority of characters in the novel.
But, all that aside... it was well-written, with a nice bit of suspense, and a home-grown bad guy to boot. So the story wasn't actually about zombies taking over the world (what zombie books are usually about), but more of how a small town comes together in the face of crisis (which is, incidentally, zombies in this case, but could have been any wide scale crisis). Ultimately I enjoyed it, and suspect I would have liked it even more, if the humour/characters had resonated with me a bit more.
The narration is good. There is some swearing but it is not excessive and there is no real gore or graphic violence.
"Perhaps it is more about poverty than race..."
In a way it is too bad the author aligned the book so closely to Jim Crow and brought the argument forward only in terms of racism. The argument really should have less to do with racism than with poverty and a lack of hope.
Yes, more blacks are in jail than other races, especially considering the racial makeup in America. Yes, the prison and policing systems are money making engines. Yes, the war on drugs is a lost cause. And, yes, probably, it was all sculpted to be the way it is.
But that doesn't change the fact that it is the abject poverty and lack of hope or opportunities that is the source of the problem. Born poor and inner city, raised on the streets, attending sub-standard schools, not having any realistic hope of ever pulling yourself or your family out of it... that is the problem. If people had hope and opportunity, they would not turn to drugs or crime, and they would not get a criminal record which further condemns them to a life of poverty.
Changing post-prison reception or perception is not the solution. Crushing the process that impoverishes entire segments of the popluation is the solution. End the abject poverty, show some light at the end of the tunnel, and millions of boys turning to men will not be committing crimes simply to survive.
The narration is fine. There is a specific phrase that is repeated pretty much every chapter which was a bit annoying and redundant, but... I suppose that was the writer's thesis. It was educational enough, but probably too narrowly focused to see the real problem.
"Guns and deception = suspense and butt-kicking"
Ahh... some butt-kicking mind candy.
No deep morals here, no lectures, just lots of guns and deception.
It is probably the best of the Grey Man series... the author has matured, and his characters' actions have become more realistic.
It is not truly a vigilante justice story because the good guys are not really good guys, and the bad guys are not really bad guys, and there isn't really anyone you'll want 'punished' for their bad behaviour. But it does have lots of action, a bit of suspense, decent characters, and a solid wrap up.
You won't need to have read the others in the series to read this one. The author doesn't really repeat parts from the other books either, so if you did read them, you won't see much of them repeated here - it is a new story. And while it is not Lee Child's Jack Reacher, it is a decent fill in.
The narration is very good, there is some swearing, some non graphic, mostly gun-related violence, and no sex.
"Better than expected, except for how it ended"
I will start by mentioning the thing that bothered me the most about this book: it just stops. Reading along and... suddenly it is over. There was no real indication that there was an end coming up. Doesn't mean that it was not a logical place to stop, just that there was no real build up and denoument that lead me to think the end of the book was coming.
Other than that, it was a reasonably well-written zombie novel. Yes, it works with the standard clichés and the characters are pretty run-of-the-mill. But there is some satisfying vigilante action, some zombie action, and some militant faction action.
What more do you want from a short and quick read? It ain't literature folks, it's a zombie book. And a relatively well written one for that. I will read more in the series.
The narration is good, there is some swearing, no sex and the violence isn't graphic.
"Skip it. Too formulaic with flat characters."
ummm... okay.
It was not very well written, and I think this poor writing (specifically dealing with character development/behaviour) took too much away from what, otherwise, might have been an okay story. Maybe.
It is a lot like Daemon except, of course, much more lecturey and person-does-A and then person-does-B formulaic. The writing simply didn't flow, and there was little suspense.
This might be because the characters were not very distinct or "real" feeling, so... basically, we don't care what happens to whom or why... they all sound the same, so it is hard to tell if it was person one or person two who had something happen to them.
Was the techy component good?... well... it was better than the character development, but... again, it was written so stiltedly that it felt like I was reading a how-to manual. And I don't know that the tech was as "cutting edge" as it thinks it is. Sure, it's not "real" at the moment, but this author certainly isn't the first to use a self-actualizing AI as the premise of a story.
And the sub-title makes no sense at all. Oh well, live and learn. I won't be looking for any more books by this author.
The narration was okay. There is no sex or gore and the language is too dull to even have much in the way of swearing.
"Back on track with a solid Ceepak storyline"
I had been disappointed in the book just before this one in the series. I thought in that book Danny was getting tiresome, and Ceepak was not featured very much. This book has gotten back on track.
The mystery is a bit more detailed than usual, and there is a huge personal component to the story that had been missing in the last book. Some things were resolved in a very unexpected (but much welcome) way... I am not sure what this will mean for the next book in the series (assuming there is one), but I think the resolution here was fitting, and necessary.
Otherwise... the tone and pacing, and mystery level of this novel are pretty much the same quality as they were in the other books in the series: A+.
The narration is excellent. There is some minor swearing, no gore and no sex.
"An urban fantasy that reads like literature..."
Okay... I hate to admit it, but... I looked up the author on the internet because I was convinced it was a female writer (it is not). Why, you might ask, did I wonder this? Well, because the female characters are fully realized, and not just objects to be rescued, and the main (male) character is sensitive and responsive - like a woman might want a man to be - rather than crass and manly like many 'action' heroes are.
Of course, Ring is not really an action hero, and this novel falls into the urban fantasy genre, not the action genre. But it is only urban fantasy in that some of the characters are immortal... the story itself, and the main characters, all have a feeling of realism. In fact, the biggest reason why this novel doesn't really feel like an urban fantasy is because of the quality of the writing, and the lack of 'cheese'.
Maggert has fantastic vocabulary. The book almost feels like literature, but it is not dense or heavy - it just has a lovely use of language. There is some non-graphic sex, which was well-placed and... I don't recall any swearing.
Overall, this book is actually better than book one was - and that's saying something since book one was pretty good. This one has a more concrete resolution, and characters which are consistent internally and over time as well. It was not a cliff-hanger ending, but I will read any more in the series. I think that if you were going to pick up this book, though, you might enjoy it more if you read the first book first since the characters will make more sense if you do - and this is definitely a character driven novel.
The narration is terrific. It's a female narrator for a male main character, but don't worry, she doesn't narrate the men in "falsetto", and each of her characters are distinctly voiced.
"As realistic as a zombie book could be..."
It is actually a bit better than book one. It is a mature, non-hack-n-slash zombie book - well, there is some hack-n-slash, but it is not so much against the zombies as it is against the other survivors.
In fact... it is almost like the zombies are just a side concern of the book. There is only interaction with them when necessary, and all the 'bad guys' here are other humans. Zombies are sorta treated like mosquitoes: very annoying, you try to avoid them, and kill them when they're close enough, but you won't be digging out the fogger to spray the forest around you.
Cyrus does spend a little too much time thinking about how sociopathic he is (or is not as the case may be), but I suppose that is also part of his narcissistic nature.
Is the, err, religous extremism realistic... no, not really, but it is as well written as such a theme could be. And these fanatics are as believable as anything else is in a zombie apocalypse. It is well-paced overall, and the characters are actually pretty well-fleshed.
The narration is very good, there is some swearing but overall, it is not particularly graphic or gory. I will keep my eyes open for more books by Knapp.

Though the BMC Racing Team will not have a leader vying for the overall classification at the Giro d'Italia, the squad is motivated to go for stage wins in the Grand Tour that begins Saturday.
Versatile Line-Up
BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Fabio Baldato said the nine-man roster was built to be competitive in each of the 21 stages. "I have confidence in Alexander Kristoff for the sprints, guys like Martin Kohler, Danilo Wyss and Simon Zahner in the breakaways, and climbers like Johann Tschopp and Mathias Frank," Baldato said. "Our three young Americans – Chris Barton, Chad Beyer and Chris Butler – have a good opportunity for them to show themselves and learn in a big race." Last year, Tschopp soloed to win the Giro's penultimate stage and was third in the mountains classification.
Morale Is Good
BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Max Sciandri said morale is good and he and Baldato will do their best to share their own knowledge of the race. Both are multiple stage winners at the Giro. "We're very committed, even if we don't have a GC contender, to doing the best we can do," Sciandri said. "Motivation will be a key ingredient because it's going to be a really hard Giro."
BMC Racing Team Giro d'Italia Roster (May 7-29):
Chris Barton (USA), Chad Beyer (USA), Chris Butler (USA), Mathias Frank (SUI), Martin Kohler (SUI), Alexander Kristoff (NOR), Johann Tschopp (SUI), Danilo Wyss (SUI), Simon Zahner (SUI).
Sport Directors:
Fabio Baldato (ITA)
Max Sciandri (ITA/GBR)
Doctors: Giovanni Ruffini (ITA), Max Testa (ITA). Mechanics: Antonio Biron (ITA), Kevin Grove (USA), Geert Rombauts (BEL). Soigneurs: Stefano Conti (ITA), Raniero Gradi (ITA), Maarten Vanduffel (BEL), Freddy Viaene (BEL). Bus Driver: Francesco Villa (ITA).
