Lions and Tigers and Bears, OH MY!
This may be the best thing I've seen EVER.
I'm Lori. I'm 40, a scientist and a freelance writer). Fanfiction is my drug of choice. This is where I dump all my obsessive fannishness along with whatever else strikes me. At the moment the dominant fandom is Sherlock. That can change at anytime. Be warned. Eye protection should be worn in this area.
I am also a crafter and I have an Etsy store.
You're probably after fic. My fic can be found here at AO3 or here at LJ. The LJ post is more complete for now. Moving fic over to AO3 is a pain in my hinder. I also have some stuff at ff.net under MadLori as well.
I have published one novel, a gay romantic thriller, under my pseudonym. You can buy it here or at Amazon.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Focal FPS 2300RX by Buck Pomerantz My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. Focal Power Symmetric Amplifiers Focal studied the interaction between speakers and amplifiers so that their FPS Series amps can make your speakers sound their absolute best. Focal makes no compromises when it comes to the design and internal components in their amplifiers, so you'll get reliable, high-fidelity reproduction for your music. Versatility The FPS 2300RX 2-channel amplifier sends 155 watts RMS per channel to a pair of full-range speakers or a set of components. This amp can also handle low-impedance loads, so you could power a pair of 1-ohm subs with 430 RMS watts each in stereo mode. Or, you can switch this amp to single-channel mode and drive a single subwoofer with 750 watts RMS of bass thunder. High-pass, low-pass, and band-pass filtering adjusts the output to match a wide variety of speakers, components, and sub combinations. A bass boost and wired remote give you even more control over your subs' performance. Pure signal, superior sound The dual power supply in the FPS 2300RX uses a unique circuit design to ensure stable performance under any conditions. A heavy heatsink with a thermostat-controlled, progressive-speed fan keeps all the parts running cool. Focal's engineers stripped all signal paths of side-tracking circuits, so your music makes its way through the amp with maximum fidelity and minimum interference. Dynamic soft clipping allows an ultra-clean signal to pass to your subs while protecting them from destructive "clipped" distortion. Plug-in capacitors Optional High Cap outboard capacitor modules plug directly into the amp, smoothing out any power fluctuations caused by sudden system demands, so you enjoy consistent, superb sound quality. The FPS 2160 amplifier accepts two High Cap modules, one for each section of the dual power supply.

Features Controls Connections Features AB-Class Amplifier Design: The Focal FPS 2300RX amplifier features an AB-class amplification design for excellent sound quality. Symmetrical Design: The Focal FPS 2300RX utilizes dual mono symmetric construction (PCB circuits in perfect mirror-image) that clearly increase the independent performance of each of the amplifier's channels, while improving the staging and the stereo disassociation. CEA 2006 Compliant: The FPS 2300RX's power ratings are measured according to the strict standards dictated by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards allow you to accurately compare the rated power output of all CEA 2006-compliant amplifiers, even if they come from different brands. Manufacturers who adhere to the standards can display the CEA 2006 logo on their products and packaging. CEA 2006 Rating: 155 watts x 2-channel in 4-ohms @ 20 to 20,000 Hz with 1% THD+N 1-Ohm Stable: The amplifier is stable down to 1-ohms in stereo, and 2-ohms when bridged. Stereo: 2-Ohm Rating: 265 watts x 2-channel in 2-ohms @ 1kHz with 0.04% THD 1-Ohm Rating: 430 watts x 2-channel in 1-ohm @ 1kHz with 0.05% THD Bridged 4-ohm Rating: 530 watts x 1-channel in 4-ohms @ 1kHz with 0.03% 2-ohm Rating: 750 watts x 1-channel in 2-ohms @ 1kHz with 0.04% Soft-Clipping: The amplifier's dynamic soft clipping feature protects your connected speakers from distortion. Controlled Cooling System: The Focal FPS 2300RX utilizes a progressive controlled cooling system to regulate the amplifier's temperature by controlling air flow through an active fan and integrated cooling fins. Even before the thermo-regulated 3-1/8" low-noise cooling fan begins rotating at 122°F, the "T" shape of the amplifier's cooling fins permits 17% of active surface heat dissipation while guaranteeing extreme rigidity to the chassis. Note: The cooling system only works when the amplifier temperature exceeds 122°F. The rotation speed of the cooling system depends on the amplifier's temperature. Protection Circuitry: The Focal FPS 2300RX amplifier employs the following protection circuits- short circuit, thermal overload, over voltage, polarity reversal. LED Indicators: The green LED "Power" indicator means the amplifier is on and operating properly. The red LED "Protect" indicator means that the amplifier has shut-down and is under protection. Anti-vibration Feet: The Focal amplifier is equipped with four integrated damping rubber feet to resist vibration. High-Cap Compatible (optional): The optional Focal High-Cap (091FPSCAP, sold separately) is an external power supply module. Once connected to the Focal amplifier, it increases the amplifier's power supply. The resulting benefit is a higher-fidelity audio signal from the Focal amplifier and overall better music performance, with enhanced dynamic behavior, improved speaker control and punchier bass. Note: The Focal FPS 2300RX requires two Focal High-Caps. Controls Front-mounted Controls: The amplifier has controls conveniently mounted on the front panel. Gain Control: You can adjust the level of the input signal with this rotary control. Range is 0.2 Volts to 5.0 Volts. Crossover Switch: This 3-way switch lets you select the crossover operation as High-pass, Band-pass, or Low-Pass. Frequency: Using this rotary control, you can select a cutoff frequency between 50 Hz and 500 Hz or 500 Hz to 5,000 Hz. The crossover has a slope of 12 dB/octave. Direct Mode: The audio signal of the Focal FPS 2300RX is directly amplified without any crossover adjustments. Bass Boost: The bass boost, centered at 95 Hz, is variable between 0 dB and +9 dB, using this rotary control. Wired Bass Knob: The Focal FPS 4160 comes with a wired bass-level control knob. The bass-level is adjustable from -9 to +9 dB. The bass-level knob also features a mute button to completely attenuate the audio coming from the amplifier. The bass-level knob features integrated flanges and comes with two screws to mount the unit under the dash. It includes a 16' cable to connect to the amplifier. Note: The wired remote measures 2.625" (w) x 1.0625 (h) x 2.4375" (d) Connections Front-mounted Terminals: The Focal FPS 2300RX has all of the cable connections on the front of the amplifier for a clean installation. Power Input: Two set-screw terminals are provided for connecting the power and ground cables. The terminals can accept up to 2-gauge wire, however, a 4-gauge wiring kit is sufficient for the 60-amp rating of the built-in fuse. The set screws can be tightened/loosened with the supplied Hex wrench. Remote Turn-on: A set screw terminal for connecting the remote turn-on lead. The terminal will accept up to 10-gauge wire. The set screw can be tightened/loosened with the supplied Hex wrench. Speaker Outputs: Two pairs of set-screw terminals are provided for connecting speakers. The terminals can accept up to 8-gauge wire. The set screws can be tightened/loosened with the supplied Hex wrench. Pseudo-Balanced Inputs: The amplifier is equipped with one pair of left and right gold-plated RCA jacks for the input signal from the head unit. These pseudo-balanced inputs help to reject ground noise. Remote Control: An RJ-14 jack for connecting the supplied remote bass control module. Maxi Fuses: The amp is equipped with two 50-amp Maxi fuses. Two spare fuses are included with the amplifier. Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs (what are the Labs?)
