by Buck Pomerantz Heat is the enemy of all amplifiers — sucking power away from your music and damaging internal components over time. Rockford Fosgate came up with some clever innovations that keep these Class D Punch amplifiers running cool, improving efficiency and reducing their size so they can fit in almost any vehicle. Punch performance The 4-channel Punch P500X4D amplifier sends 150 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers, giving you the crystal-clear power you need to hear the full impact of your music. You can also put the amp into 2-channel mode to drive a couple of subs with 500 watts RMS each. Separate front and rear frequency filters give you razor-sharp control over your speakers' clarity, while the onboard Punch EQ bass boost allows you to reinforce your music's low end when you're using a sub. Small and cool This versatile amp utilizes full-range Class D amp technology, drawing much less current from your car's electrical system than traditional amps, running cooler and generating tons of power from a remarkably compact chassis. Rockford Fosgate builds this amp using precision components assembled by high-speed, super-accurate robots this Discrete Surface Mount system results in less interference between parts, lower operating temperature, and increased life for the amplifier. An amplifier that's built to last, packed with power, and fits almost anywhere — what more could you want for your music? Product Highlights:4-channel car amplifier150 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms (250 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms)500 watts RMS x 2 bridged output at 4 ohms (4-ohm stable in bridged mode)CEA-2006 compliantseparate variable high- and low-pass filters (50-500 Hz, 12 dB/octave) for front and rear channelsseparate variable bass boosts (0-18 dB at 45 Hz) for front and rear channelsfull-range Class-D amplifier designDiscrete Surface Mount construction4-gauge power and ground leads and an 100-amp fuse recommended wiring and hardware not included with amplifierno onboard fuses when installing multiple amps in a system, an additional 100-amp in-line fuse between the distribution block and the amplifier is recommended11-15/16"W x 2-3/16"H x 8-5/16"Dwarranty: 1 yearOur 60-day money-back guarantee 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.
Rockford Fosgate Punch P1000X4D Written By Anonymous, Golden valley, az on Saturday, November 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sounding amp has plenty of juice
Rockford P1000X4D Written By TypeS-ing!, U. S. Virgin Islands on Friday, October 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This amp had been great so far, my music sounds great at high levels for extended periods of time when I out driving around all day. It has stayed at good temps as well. Pros: Size, stays pretty cool and helps music sound clean. Cons: None so far.
GREAT AMP Written By JORGE, MIAMI, FL. on Tuesday, September 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) VERY GOOD AMP, EASILY PUSHES MY FOUR EXELON XR1800 SPEAKERS. NO DISTORTION. EASILY ADJUSTABLE. GREAT QUALITY.

Rockford Fosgate Punch P1000X4D Written By Anonymous, Queens, Ny on Tuesday, August 27, 2013 Have this amp hooked to some Rockford punch pro speaker and it def puts out what it needs to
Performs well Written By Mr.NuJ, San Jose, CA on Thursday, August 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed in my 2012 Civic. Powering Polks 6.5 component in front and Polks 3 way 6.5 in rear. There seem to be a little clipping and chirping. Not sure where it's coming from; head unit or iPod or the Sony DSP installed. I have everything installed by a professional that was highly recommended by Yelp in San Jose. I would give it 3.5 stars for the chirping - but it might be from my lack of experience with amp tuning abilities. Pros: 150 RMS x 4 has plenty power. Fits under my passenger seat. I would prefer to have it installed in the trunk but I have a CNG Civic so there's literally very little room in the boot. Cons: Runs a little warm, produces chirping.
more bang for your buck Written By Rick 10, Houston, TX on Monday, August 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great product for a awesome price. Was going to buy a 300 watt amp from a retail store for about 200$, then I was sold when I saw 700 more watts for 50 dollars more. Pros: Great price break for a superior brand. It protects speakers from being blown out by shutting them off when they're getting to hot.
rockford fosgate p1000x4d Written By miket, richmond va on Sunday, July 28, 2013 I got the p1000 to power a pair of subs and am very happy with it. lots of power at a very good price.
Great Amp! Written By DNoakes, B.C., Canada on Sunday, July 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome amp! Lots of power, clean and clear sound. I no distortion at higher volumes. One of the best and clearest amps I've bought so far. It's even clearer and cleaner than my JL HD600/4. Pros: Clean, clear acurate sound! Cons: Doesn't come with remote punch eq control.
P1000 Written By Rob Y, Elk Grove ca on Sunday, July 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This amp was a breeze to install and the sound is very clean. I was running an original Soundstream 4 channel amp pushing 75x4 @4ohms and 150x4 @2ohms and it produced a very natural sound but the P1000 does the same with some extra power left in reserve. Would recommend this amp to all @ this price. Pros: 250x4 @ 2ohm and the ease of adjustments for me because the dails are on the top of the amp. Perfect for my set up. Cons: None

This amp was a great deal i have it running a MM polk auido 15 bridged and 4 kenwood 5x7 in a F-350 super crew. Very happy with this product and is a steal at this price. Pros: clean looking design, easy adjustment even when mounted.
clean, powerful, love the size Written By Anonymous, Colorado on Monday, June 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Love the size, build quality, and so far the performance. I will continue to analyze the sound as I listen. Paired this with a P1000X1D, set of 4 Alpine SPR-50c, and a Punch P3D4-10. Sound is super clean and punchy. I need to run some CDs through to criticize the highs as so far it has all been compressed sources. Pros: size, build, sound Cons: none so far - super price on Crutchfield
Dont bother Written By Fixitguy, Spokane, WA on Sunday, June 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought two of these and they both made a chirping noise at certain volumes. my $100 sony xplod amp actually sounded better too. sent both back for refund. I used a 4 gauge amp install kit. Cons: if you are ok with random chirping noises from your stereo.. then try this!
excellent price, but just ok quality Written By mike, tampa, fl on Monday, May 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) you can not beat the price of this powerhouse. i have it running a set of t2 rf comps and 2 6.5 soundstream voice speakers in the extra cab colorado extreme. also have the t1500bdcp running 2 12 inch obsidians. it is much louder then my old school 240.4 as it should be, but it cuts out when the voltage drops even to 11.9 volts. i know i need to upgrade my alternator, but even so, my pioneer 80prs has the voltage meter on the face, only the highs shut off as soon as the reading drops below 12 volts even for a split second and it takes about 3 seconds for the highs to kick back on. not sure if it has something to do with it being a class D amp, or maybe it has a defect, but i will have to email Crutchfield and ask. besides this problem though, the sound quality and the power cant be matched for this price. Pros: loud, clear, excellent value Cons: amp sometimes cuts out, will upgrade my electrical system and if the fixes the problem, i will try to update this review. should be a few weeks before i can shell out 500 bucks for a 250 amp alt.
This Thing Rips Written By TR, Connecticut on Sunday, April 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) All I can say is BUY this Amp. You won't be dissapointed Pros: Easy setup Runs very cool. Cons: None yet
Rockford Fosgate Punch P1000X4D Written By Anonymous, Houston Texas on Saturday, April 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great price for great amp
HORRIBLE AMP Written By David, Dallas, TX on Friday, February 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I gave this amp a chance after seeing the price break and also going on the reputation of Rockford Fosgate being a amplifier company. I was shipped one and had it professionally installed. The amp started making weird sounds like "chirping" coming from all 4 channels. We sent the first one back and had another one shipped out- same problem on second amp!! After also replacing my Headunit and going through my wiring, I finally took it to a very high end car audio shop and they diagnosed that the amp was indeed defective. There must be a defective build issue on this amp. Installed a new Hertz four channel and sound disappeared immediately. Crutchfield was great about returns, but they need to seriously consider stop selling RF if this is the quality they are going to put out to market. Pros: Lots of power Cons: Does not work AT ALL!

Cheryl Cole describes intense chemistry with Tre Holloway
Cheryl Cole has opened up about her relationship with back-up dancer boyfriend Tre Holloway, describing the intense chemistry the pair have on stage. She's even teasing the possibility of marriage.
She reveals in an upcoming documentary: "There is a presence with Tre, he gives 100 percent on that stage every single time. He doesn't know any other percentage.
"There is a stronger connection and a chemistry you wouldn't have with any other dancer."
Tre accompanied the star on her recent arena tour, and Cheryl continues to describe how special it was to share moments on the road and on stage.
She says: "To have that relationship is rare, to be able to have it with you and share those moments is pretty special actually."
Cheryl also jokes about wedding bells with Tre in the documentary, entitled Cheryl Cole: Access All Areas, saying: "Did you know that we are getting married in the winter?"
Tre responds: "I didn't know that."
They may not be tying the knot anytime soon, but the couple are planning on buying a home together. It's been reported Cheryl and Tre are shopping for a beachfront property in Los Angeles. Fancy!
We're so happy Chezza's happy. Don't forget Girls Aloud's comeback single Something New is out now. Are you a fan? Let us know in the comments below.

[Web] View older versions of web pages with Cached Pages
Posted By Kent On April 2, 2014 @ 5:52 PM In World Wide Web | 1 Comment
[1]A cached page is basically a snapshot or an earlier version of a web page. It can be quite useful especially if the live or actual version of the page that you are trying to view has been removed or updated by its owner. Speaking of which, there's a simple web tool that you can use to view or access these cached posts or pages. This free online tool is called Cached Pages.
Main Functionality
So what is Cached Pages? Well, it is basically a free online tool or web app that is specifically designed to access the cached version of any web page. So all you need to do is to copy and paste the URL of the page that you are trying to view and then the said tool will immediately show you the cached version of that page and you can even choose as to whether you want to open the cached version that was saved by Coral, Google or Archive.org. You can even open the page's live version. This can come in handy especially if you want to compare the live and the cached version.
[2]A cached version of a page or post can come in handy at times wherein the actual or live version of the page is no longer accessible. Like, for example, when you're trying to view a blog or forum post. These types of posts may be frequently updated and so, there's no guarantee that the post that you're currently seeing will still be available in the next few days or so. It's just that if you only rely on your bookmarks, then the page that you're trying to view will be eventually refreshed or reloaded to its latest version. So if you want to access the previous version of that page, you'll need to use a tool like Cached Pages.
Speaking of which, the way Cached Pages works is quite simple. Just go to the web app's homepage (see link below) and then paste the URL of the page that you are trying to view. After which, choose from the given list of options. So basically, you have the option to view the cached version of the page that was saved by Coral, Google or Archive.org. Do keep in mind that this online tool only serves as a gateway for you to be able to access the cached version of the pages from the above mentioned services. If you wish to access several cached copies or versions of a particular page, you better choose the option to view the page via Archive.org.
Anyways, I tried using this tool to view a copy of a deleted forum post and it worked fine. It does what it's supposed to do and it managed to access the cached forum post in just a matter of seconds. It's also very stable and responsive plus it's user interface is very straightforward. In other words, what you see is what you get. It just doesn't go beyond that.
To sum it up, I can say that Cached Pages is a pretty decent tool that you can use whenever you need to access the cached version of a certain post or page. It's just that with this tool, you can only view one page at a time. Furthermore, it lacks the option that will allow you to download the said cached page as a screenshot, PDF or .txt file.
I find Cached Pages very useful especially when it comes to viewing specific posts or pages that are no longer available on their respective websites. It's also very simple to use so you won't have a difficult time using it even if you're not really that well-versed with computers. So if ever you're in need of such a tool, go ahead and feel free to check it out.
Price: Free
Version reviewed: N/A
Requires: Works on any browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc.) on any modern desktop operating system (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, Mac OS X, Linux, etc.)

Why I Give a Damn
Dec 29th, 2010 11:28 AM By TeresaFirst off, let me tell you that I am straight. I'm a (somewhat) normal straight girl, but I give a damn. I don't have any real religious beliefs, open to everything and everyone no matter who they are. But my parents are the exact opposite; hateful, close-minded, and very homophobic. They hate how I support gays and gay rights, wondering if I'm gay just because of the fact that I believe in gay rights. When we or they watch shows and they see a character who looks/acts differently, they will automatically say that they are gay. Almost all the time they are right, but it still hurts that my parents would make assumptions without knowing anything.
They don't want gay marriage, believing that it's wrong and not natural while I wholeheartedly do. I have a lot of bi-sexual friends who are girls and I don't mind that at all. I hate that my friends get discriminated against by people and the government just because they aren't straight like me. I felt so sad when I heard about all the gay teen suicides in September, feeling so bad for all of them and wishing that I could have talked to them, tried to help them and convince them that life is worth living and that people do care about them, like me. I want to be a counselor/therapist when I get older, wanting to help teens who are feeling lost and lonely, like no one cares about them and thinking that nobody would give a damn if they were alive or dead. Well, I do care, and this is why I give a damn.
High School Misery
Dec 29th, 2010 11:17 AM By MarkI am happy to say I survived my teenage years in the mid 1970's because someone gave a damn about me. High School was the worst experience of my life. I faced constant fear, ridicule, and jokes. Comments were yelled across the high school gym at pep rally's. I don't recall how many times I sat in my room wanting it to just be over. Something always stopped me from following through with it, but what I just don't recall anymore.
I didn't even know what gay was at 16, I just knew that I couldn't talk about how I felt. I knew something was different just had no clue what it was. I dated women, I wasn't a social loner, I had friends and was very outgoing in the community. I felt as if I couldn't say anything or everyone would abandon me. I never told my parents what I faced either (including to this day).
The person who saved my life to this day does not know that she did. She gave a damn about me as a person when I was at an extremely low point in my life sometime around the spring/summer of 1976. In a small town of 7000 people in the Midwest (Ohio to be exact), being "different" was not acceptable regardless of what that difference was (remember, small farm-town). Someone moved to town that helped change my life. The new county 4-H extension agent. This person genuinely cared about the things that we were all going through as teenagers. This person helped me learn to "love me" regardless of outside influence. I learned to care about me and respect of others from her. (I still hid my sexuality until I was almost 21).
Senior Year
Dec 21st, 2010 09:54 AM By KatieDyke. Slut. Whore. Penises drawn on my car once a week. First I was just the weird new girl, then when my sexuality came up it became this big ordeal. I had people whispering about me. My mom refusing to let me see my girlfriend. My dad telling me he would have to disown me if I ever came out. My first girlfriend ever flaunting me through school like a circus animal. I never thought it would of turned out to be such a big deal, but it lead me to feel as though I was worth nothing.
I went to the counselor two times a week. On meds, seeing a therapist, and thinking about suicide all the time. I tried to throw myself at guys trying to be straight, but I ended up feeling ten times worse and didn't feel like myself. I had attempted a few times to kill myself. I didn't see what I had to live for. I felt embarrassed and ashamed of who I was, I couldn't accept the fact that I was lesbian. Most of my peers, parents, and siblings seem to think I was a freak, or it was just a faze or that I was hanging out with the wrong crowd. After all I had been through, I am glad to say it has gotten better and I have come along way.
From Pain to Growth
Dec 21st, 2010 09:49 AM By DanielI will never forget that night. It will both haunt and strengthen me for the rest of my life.
I had gone to a neighborhood bar to spend some time with high school friends that were in town for the Christmas break. I had had a few drinks but nothing excessive. On the way home, I decided to stop for a bite to eat. While in the drive-thru line, I noticed a truck behind me with two young adult men in it that was inching closer and closer to my car. I didn't think much of the men since my plan was to get my food, eat it, and drive home safe and sound. I was wrong.
Since I had been drinking, I decided it was best to pull aside and eat before I made my way home. The truck from the line followed me. I was quite frightened at the sight of the truck and at the approaching man that began walking to my car. I rolled down my driver-side window very slightly to see what he wanted. He implied that he had seen me before and asked if I knew anyone from a certain high school in the surrounding area. I did and the conversation continued quite casually. After about 5 minutes, the man asked if I wanted to sit on the sidewalk and eat with him and his friend before I went home. Since we knew many of the same people and he seemed extremely friendly, I agreed.

I Almost Didn't Give a Damn
Dec 14th, 2010 03:13 PM By HollieI was bullied and ridiculed everyday in high school for being a lesbian. Even my mother gave me an extremely hard time whenever I came out to her. I had a hard time getting through the end of the day, and so I thought I wouldn't be able to get through life. I ended up attempting suicide and was in the hospital for a few days. It was one of the worst times in my life.
I realized that nothing was worth giving my life up, and that the bad times wouldn't last forever. Now, I'm in college learning how to become a teacher so I can help kids that are experiencing hard times in school like I was. I also have and amazing girlfriend and my family has become more accepting of my sexuality.
I give a damn because giving up your life because things get rough isn't how to overcome the obstacles. There is so much more life to live after high school and college. That is why I give a damn.
When I was 9 I Knew I was Different…
Dec 14th, 2010 02:35 PM By AshleyWhen I was 9 years old I knew I was "different", but it wasn't until I was in middle school that I had the courage to tell my best friend that I thought I was bi-sexual. She responded in a strange way… she kinda gave me a look and just pretended that she hadn't heard me. I mean, I didn't understand she was my best friend right? Because of that reaction I didn't want to tell other people or act on my feelings.
It wasn't until my 10th grade psychology class that I figured out that hiding this would only hurt me more because I was living a lie. I had friends that were openly gay and I always admired their courage. But I could never find it in myself to come out to the world. I was terrified, but I figured that I needed to tell my mother. My biggest advocate and support system. We were riding in the car together alone just her and I and I kind of blurted it out "mom, I'm gay". She didn't say anything at first then she said, "you can't be gay, people don't just blurt out that they are gay!" I was surprised, I mean I don't know what I expected to happen but I definitely didn't expect that.
Stay Alive
Dec 13th, 2010 10:29 AM By CameronI am a female to male transsexual. People have asked me when did you decide to become a guy or why did you decide to become a guy and I tell them I was always a guy I just didn't know for a long time who I was. I went to school in the 60s and 70s in a small Montana town. There were no gay people on TV or in my hometown and certainly no trans folk.
I hated school, I was different, when I was young some people thought I was a boy which made my Mom mad. I stuck out like a sore thumb, I was teased and I was in trouble all the time. I had only one friend through all of school. I was lonely and depressed. I didn't go to any of my school dances and I often contemplated suicide, I think if I hadn't had that one friend, I probably would have.
I was in my late 20's when I had my first relationship with a woman. When I moved to Alaska I found a large GLBT community, I lived as a lesbian for over 20 years and met my first transgendered individual, it wasn't until almost 6 years ago at the age of 50, I figured out I was transgendered, my partner of over 15 years has stayed with me. If I would have killed myself all those years ago, I would have missed out on the life that I have. It's not perfect, but I am happy.
School won't last forever, there is hope. Don't throw your life away. You and your life are important.
Category: All of Them
Dec 09th, 2010 10:55 AM By kellyMy story is like no other, but I hope I can help other people see people for who they are not who they love. My mother is bisexual, she is also Christian and loving and works really hard. She raised 4 daughters by herself and has dealt with social, professional, and religious intolerance for her choice in being open about who she is.
She gave my little sister the strength to never live in the closet about being gay and never let us live in fear of the world for any reason. I to am bisexual and my 3 children are adopted to a married gay couple. A few years ago I traveled the states and I spent a lot of time with at risk teenagers and saw first hand what not being who you know you are can do to you.
Most of them were homeless or closeted. They were shunned and bullied and hooked to drugs and abused. Some took their lives and every one that's left I still talk to and try to help.
I give a damn because I don't want to lose any more children to hate and I don't want anyone to be able to tell my sister that its wrong for her to love and be loved in return. We need to take a stand, this has been allowed for far to long. This is the last kind of open discrimination that is widely excepted and that is not right.
Being Christian and Giving A Damn
Dec 09th, 2010 10:17 AM By ChloeHello, my name is Chloe, I'm 17, straight, and I live in London in the UK. And I truly give a damn.
I guess you could say that I am a born again Christian, as I decided to get baptized again this year. But before I did, I was questioning whether this was right for me, as a lot of what is in the bible, I didn't agree with; mostly the way in which people interpret the bible to say that being gay is wrong. That God will punish you if you're gay and you will spend the rest of eternity in Hell.
Before this, I was really excited to be turning seventeen this year in October, and was thinking about what I can do to celebrate my birthday with my friends and family. It wasn't until I received an event request telling me to wear purple on October 20th. Curious, I clicked it to find out more.
I was horrified to see the stories of six teenagers who committed suicide, purely due to their sexuality.

Lenses / Re: Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L II
« on: February 07, 2012, 07:34:41 AM »
With No IS and the price tag on this lens, I am going to give a serious consideration to Tamron 24-70. Hope there will be some test results out soon...

Conspirancy theories aside, this sounds like the thinking of a marketing department to me.
First time I ever heard "thinking" and "marketing department" in the same sentence. In my experience, marketers take their orders directly from Satan -- no thinking necessary.
Replace the 75-300 with a 70-300L - will be better for journalism
i dont care if it has better specs than a nikon or not. what I care about a high quality working package and this list of rumoured specs basically ensure that I am eagerly awaiting to see how the AF is if it is as good as last gen 1D AF i'll be over the moon+1
I think the G1X dxo measurements are a bit worrying, looks like Canon still can't make as good pixels as Sony. Seems to perform about the same as the 7D from 2009... but of course you can compete in other ways than sensor quality I guess...Tell me, why G1X should be better, than semi-professional DSLR 7D?
Am sure Canon can do an excellent job with sensors, and we will see it in 1DX model, for example.
Because it is produced two years later. It is the same pixel size, 4um pixels should perform better today than two years ago.
It is not necessary to differentiate the G1X and 7D on the sensor, the 7D is a DSLR with the autofocus, speed, build, interchangable lenses etc.
I would be surprised if they make the G1X sensor deliberately less good than they can, then they could just as well make a smaller sensor instead and made the camera more compact.
But sure, 1DX will be a safer benchmark to look at. Of what I have seen so far I'm a bit afraid that the sensor performance hype coming from Canon on the newer and coming models are more about JPEG noise reduction in digic5 than about raw sensor performance. I'd love to be proven wrong. But if I'm right I can keep my 5Dmk2 longer, so that's kind of ok too :-).
If you are talking about DSLRs Nikon uses it to differentiate between sports/low light camera and they high MP studio camera.Thank you! That is exactly what I was wondering!
The Nikon D3s is 12MP and 9fps while the the D3x is much slower with 24mp.
At some point I'm sure we'll have a D4x and D4s.
Canon doesn't really seem to have a set routine for using S and X. They do have the 1Ds which differentiates it from the 1D as being full frame. But I don't know why they chose an "s".

Concierge.com's insider take:
Discover exactly what art historians mean by "Flemish Old Masters" at the Antwerp Royal Museum of Fine Arts. This is the native city of Rubens, and the collection not only contains the largest number of works under one roof by that master of voluptuous goddesses, but the museum's very entrance halls were frescoed by the man himself (or at least by his army of assistants). Other famed Low Country names abound too: Jan van Eyck, Hans Memling, Frans Hals, and Brueghel. The works on display span five centuries, all the way up to the 20th, but the Renaissance masters are why you visit.

Can you believe that I have been selected for a FREE in-home security system?
And finally, If I get one more call from my Captain alerting me by means of a Fog Horn, I am going to frisbee my damn phone right out the window.
How on earth do these companies get away with wasting my cellphone minutes? I refuse to have a home phone because all I got were people begging for money; everyone I might want to talk to already has my cell number. But when telemarketers start calling my cellphone (and I hardly doubt they are on the "In-Network"), they waste my minutes one by one while I try to get a hold of the company to bitch out the service rep. Apparently the "Do-Not Call" List is just an imaginary place that exists in the electronic world.

Rotherham goalkeeper Adam Collin is hoping to benefit from prior experience of Wembley in Sunday's play-off final with Leyton Orient.
It will be Collin's third visit to the national stadium in five years following two previous trips with Carlisle that had differing results.
In 2010 the Cumbrians were thumped 4-1 by Southampton in the Football League Trophy only to return 12 months later and enjoy the winning feeling by seeing off Brentford.
The preparation for the two finals were polar opposites, with the second year being treated like a normal game, a formula that bore fruit.
And that is the wisdom the 29-year-old will try and impart on his team-mates as they prepare to do battle against Orient, with Championship football next season the prize.
"The first time we went down, we went down a few days beforehand and did the whole tour and built it up quite a lot," Collin said.
"In the second year, we didn't do that and came away with the victory.
"I think we've got to treat it like any other game. Play the game and not the occasion.
"It's a big stadium and we will see that when we walk out but we've got to put that to one side and concentrate on the game.
"We went down there a couple of days early and had a long tour. It detracted a little bit from the game.
"The second time we went down, we trained, played the game and got the result. I think that's the best way to approach it."
Despite those prior trips to Wembley, Collin admits that Sunday's clash is the biggest he has played in and is desperate for the chance to play in the Championship.
"It is by far and away the biggest game of my career," he added.
"I want to play at the highest level I can and this is going to give me the opportunity to get up that next level into the Championship.
"It's definitely the biggest game I've been involved in."

Pashtun women's sports on rise in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Directorate encourages women's sports in province
By Javed Aziz Khan
PESHAWAR -- Only a few years ago, Maria Toorpakay Wazir used to fetch water in clay pots for her mother and cut firewood in the forests of troubled North Waziristan.
Now, Toorpakay, 19, has emerged as Pakistan's squash champion.
Toorpakay has broken tribal tradition by leaping onto the squash court to take on all comers. Her ambition is to become a UN Messenger of Peace and encourage more women to play a role in society.
She is not the only female athlete from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) doing her part to dispel the stereotype that Pashtun society represses women.
"We have many girls representing Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and tribal areas in different games all over the world", Rashida Ghaznavi, head of the Directorate for Women's Sports, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, told Central Asia Online.
The province has developed a full-fledged directorate to elevate women's sports while complying with local traditions, she said.
"Apart from bringing laurels to my country by winning major squash events all over the world, I want to become a Messenger of Peace as well as spread that message through music", Toorpakay said.
Born in Shakai, South Waziristan, Toorpakay grew up in the Miranshah sub-division of North Waziristan and later in Darra Adamkhel town of Frontier Region Kohat before her family settled in Peshawar.
"My father wanted me to join sports so I could control my anger and weight. I first started with weight-lifting and later switched to squash", Toorpakay said. The champ, who used to brawl with boys, has a masculine-looking haircut. "I never wore a burqa, and if I wear it, people will think that a boy is inside it".
Toorpakay scored her first title in the Hasham Khan Junior Championship. Later she became the youngest winner of the National Women's Squash Championship by beating Muqaddas Ashraf in straight sets.
Another Pakistani squash champion is Carla Khan, who lives in Britain but has represented Pakistan in a number of events. A cousin of squash legend Jehangir Khan, Carla later lost permission from international bodies to represent Pakistan because she lives abroad.
"More and more girls should come forward in sports. The media need to create awareness in this regard so parents will encourage their girls to participate in games", said Mian Iftikhar Hussain, minister for information of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Sports will develop tolerance and give hope to terrorism-stricken spectators, he said.
The province and FATA's all-female schools and colleges support women's sports to a greater extent than before. Students can play many sports.
"We encourage our girls to play, as inside the college building they have no problem. We have some good teams from across the province and a few from FATA competing at the national level in different games", Hina Mumtaz, a female teacher in Peshawar, told Central Asia Online.
Women's sports suffered a shock in the province when the previous government of the six-party Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal religious alliance banned male coaches from training girls and men from watching women play on athletic fields. However, authorities allowed female coaches to train girls and women to watch them play indoors.
"We have been holding coaching and training camps for girls in walled premises so it would be easy for the parents to send their daughters for playing and training", said Rashida.
She observed that apart from Toorpakay, a number of other Khyber Pakhtunkhwa women have earned fame in sports.
Right-arm medium-pace bowler Qanita Jalil, in her 20s, said she found it tough initially to get into sports, but her father and brother encouraged her to play cricket. Today she is a key member of the national team.
One pioneer is track star Shabana Akhtar of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, now 38. She was the first Pakistani woman to represent Pakistan in any Olympics by competing in 1996 in Atlanta. Later she participated in the Women's International Games in Islamabad in 1996 and won four gold medals, setting records in the 100-metre and 200-metre dash.
In the 2nd Islamic Countries Women's Sports Solidarity Games held in Iran, Shabana bagged a gold medal in the long jump and another in the 4 x 200-metre relay.
Shabana's efforts took her to contests in Germany, Sweden, Indonesia and elsewhere.
"We even have a women's kabaddi team. Apart from it, our girls take part in table tennis, football, netball, hockey, badminton, taekwondo and each and every game played in the country", Rashida said.

For us you look more as Westerner than a Pushtun. The Westerners have vowed to destroy our honor; sometimes it molds our Malala into its own culture to play with our dignity; we curse upon the women who play before other men; when the honor of a woman folk is auctioned openly before the entire public. Women means modesty. Mad are the people who encourage immodesty of women. Will your honor tolerate if your daughter or sister goes before other people in half dress. For God's sake, prevent your girls from following the path of Malala, otherwise you will repent.

Video Collection: BMW Films - The Hire. All the BMW fans and not only are most likely familiar with the BMW film series, The Hire.
Averaging about ten minutes each, The Hire was a series of eight short films produced for the internet viewing from 2001 to 2002. A form of branded content, all eight films featured popular filmmakers from across the globe, starred Clive Owen as the "Driver", and highlighted the performance aspects of various BMW automobiles. The plots of each of the films differ, but one constant remains: Clive Owen plays "The Driver", a man who goes from place to place (in presumably rented BMW automobiles), getting hired by various people to be a sort of transport for their vital needs.

We need to win 23 of the remaining games to be safe. What worries me is our poor goalscoring record. Most of the teams below us are scoring - Wigan, Southampton, Reading etc. And even Villa got three today. If we continue to play the one up front system, and never change it whatever happens, goals are going to continue to be at a premium. And that may cost us in the end. Having signed two new strikers, it is up to Hughton to employ them and set the team up so we can get the best out of them. Can anyone explain why he introduced Becchio three minutes from the end?

Working to be the most livable city in the country means placing a high priority on providing excellent customer service. In all 12 municipal departments, our goal is to be responsive, transparent, and accountable. – Mayor David Bieter

With the arrival of spring, Boise residents are getting outside to clean up their lawns gardens, and garages. To help with "spring cleanup", residents have two weeks of unlimited curbside trash service from April 1 to April 12.
The program is simple. Set out extra trash on your regular trash day in 20-32 gallon containers at least three feet from recycle and trash carts. You can also put yard waste in PAPER leaf bags (this material will NOT be composted). Bundled tree branches less than four feet long and under 65 pounds can be set out next to leaf bags and overflow cans. Overflow stickers are not required during these two weeks. However, trash set out in plastic bags or in unapproved containers will NOT be collected.
Here are ways to practice the principals of reduce, reuse and recycle during Spring Cleanup:
If residents have questions, send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or call 384-3901 to speak with a staff member in the Solid Waste program.

2D vs. 3D Pain Visualization: User Preferences in a Spinal Cord Injury Cohort
- Fotios Spyridonis,
- Gheorghita Ghinea
- … show all 2 hide
Research on pain experienced after Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) has revealed that not only are there several types of pain present in the same individual with this kind of trauma, but also that people who suffer such an injury can describe the characteristics of the same type of pain in different ways. Making it possible, therefore, to more precisely describe pain experience could prove to be vital for an increased quality of life. Accordingly, fifteen individuals with pain after SCI were asked to describe their pain experience using a 3 Dimensional (3D) model of the human body that could be used as an aid in communicating their pain. The results of this study suggest that the consensus of the participants approved the ability of the 3D model to more accurately describe their pain, an encouraging outcome towards the use of 3D technology in support of post SCI pain rehabilitation.

OneSteel sets deadline for plant closure
PUBLISHED: 21 Nov 2011 00:02:12 | UPDATED: 21 Nov 2011 15:12:30PUBLISHED: 21 Nov 2011 PRINT EDITION: 21 Nov 2011Ayesha de Kretser
OneSteel chief Geoff Plummer says rapid progress is essential for turning around the steel maker's fortunes. Photo: Tomasz Machnik
OneSteel chief executive Geoff Plummer says he has 12 months to turn around the company's Australian operations or risk closing its flagship Whyalla steel making plant in South Australia in what would be another devastating blow to the local manufacturing industry.
Mr Plummer said the ailing steel maker believed it could return its blast furnace in the SA city to generating cash but admitted the situation was under review. "The market is understandably frustrated," he said before the company's annual meeting in Sydney today.
Battling a high dollar, rising coking coal prices and weak construction spending, OneSteel and fellow steel maker BlueScope Steel won a $300 million assistance package from the federal government in July as compensation for the carbon tax after giving assurances they would each keep making at least 500,000 tonnes a year of steel in Australia.
OneSteel has the capacity to produce 2.7 million tonnes of steel a year, with 1.2 million coming from Whyalla, giving the company the option of maintaining the full assistance even if it closes the facility where it produces most of its emissions.
Such a decision would have political consequences for the SA government and would be costly for OneSteel, given redundancy payments and the cost of remediating the land. This is why management is focusing its efforts on restoring performance.
Mr Plummer also said he was increasingly frustrated some unions were using the Fair Work regime to get entrenched in workplaces where they did not really have the confidence of employees.
He said BlueScope Steel's decision to shut one of its two blast furnaces and exit the export market in August was not the right one for OneSteel to follow, given the investment required to close Whyalla and the fact the steel produced there was not exported.
"BlueScope had before them a simple but dramatic decision to shut one blast furnace because they have one blast furnace that only works on exports," he said.
"A lot of people in the market are looking for a simple, large solution. We don't think that's the right thing to do at this point; down the track it may be."
But in his most definitive comments on Whyalla yet, Mr Plummer conceded the company had limited time to improve its financial performance.
"We can't sustain a long period of the results we had last year so we have to be able to demonstrate progress over the coming year or so."
OneSteel is expected to give the market more detail today about its efforts to turn around its local steel manufacturing division, which generated a $185 million loss in 2010-11.
Many analysts predict the company will close its local pipe and tube mills – steel products that are under pressure from cheap Chinese imports – and look at rationalising its distribution arms. It will outline plans to expand its iron ore mining capacity beyond the current 9.3 million tonnes already targeted.
Mr Plummer countered criticism over not taking decisive action in closing excess steel making capacity, pointing out that while many had called for Whyalla's closure, historically the steel business had generated the cash to support its more profitable iron ore mining operations.
"People have asked should we shut Whyalla or should we have not started it again," Mr Plummer said. "The question is, how do you deal with the cost of transition? But we might have to do that if we form the view that we can't turn the business around."
OneSteel must meet this objective fast but the broader conditions– with expectations the dollar and input costs will stay high – makes it tough. The market is also concerned these factors may make it harder for OneSteel to pay its interest bills.
Mr Plummer said financial performance had to improve and the board had worked hard since the financial crisis to manage balance sheet risk.
OneSteel took on debt through the $US935 million acquisition of the world's biggest mining consumables business, Moly-Cop, as well as the $330 million acquisition of Western Plains' iron ore mines. Some question whether the business may need to raise equity to pay off borrowings.
"The board's view would be that the last thing we'd want to do is raise equity in the current circumstances," Mr Plummer said. "We've been working pretty actively to ensure we're not in that position."
The company is expected to provide more information about interest payments today. OneSteel refinanced its debt in April and May – the same time it was pushing through price rises for its steel products when sentiment momentarily improved.
"If you look at the investment grade we are, I don't think many people would expect that we'd have a covenant anything like four times earnings," Mr Plummer said. "For a range of reasons, a lot of people have overstated what they think our underlying interest is."
Mr Plummer defended the acquisition of Moly-Cop, which produces grinding balls that compete with Chinese products. "We would have paid too much if we didn't believe the earnings were going to improve," he said, adding that only one Chinese rival was close to making grinding balls of similar quality.
"It's easy for somebody to make grinding balls and get it right 80 per cent of the time," he said. "But the problem if you get it right only 80 per cent of the time is that 20 per cent of the time when a miner is trying to maximise his productivity, 20 per cent of the time he's not doing that.
"For what he might save in the cost of grinding media – a relatively low percentage of his total processing costs – they're not going to do that. It's one of those things you really have to get it right 100 per cent of the time."

Mayor - Tammy de Weerd
Mayor Tammy de Weerd, a third-generation Idahoan, has served as the Mayor of Meridian since January of 2004. She has lived in Meridian and been an active volunteer in the community for nearly two decades, serving the citizens of Meridian in an array of voluntary and elected capacities. She brings to the office extensive experience as an elected official, community volunteer and businesswoman. Tammy was a charter member and first president of the Meridian Parks and Recreation Commission, and served two years on the Planning and Zoning Commission before her election to Meridian City Council in 1999. She served 4 years on Meridian City Council, 2 as Council President. Tammy was first elected Mayor on November 3, 2003, then re-elected to a second term on November 6, 2007.

Her list of goals include providing the best possible services to citizens; increasing citizen involvement; expanding parks and recreational opportunities; preserving safety; and enhancing the City's economic development efforts to provide jobs, diversity in housing, places to shop and top quality redevelopment of downtown Meridian. During her tenure, Tammy and her leadership team have established policies and initiatives to improve the quality of life for all Meridian residents. She has united the leaders of business, education, youth and the faith community and, as a result, Meridian has been recognized twice in Newsweek as one of America's 100 Best Places for Young People and was listed as one of the 100 Best Places to Live in CNN/Money magazines. While in office she has served on a number of regional boards and commissions and chaired the Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho.

In 2002, Governor Dirk Kempthorne recognized Tammy as Idaho's first Individual "Brightest Star" for her efforts to build a better community at home in Meridian and statewide on behalf of families and children. Her vision and coalition-building skills reflect her commitment to active partnerships between government and the private sector. Tammy looks to the future, making decisions that continue to lead Meridian to be a 'premier place to live, work, and raise a family.' "We are poised to climb new heights." She believes, "Teamwork and partnerships are key to the City's future." Tammy and her husband Jan have four children.

I wanted to add that getting a degree in Art is not necessary for this field, but it can really offer you an opportunity to get your work critiqued by professors that have worked in the field.
In addition they can also put you in contact with people that they know in the industry. Your drawing style will also become more polished and professional as well.
I definitely recommend going this path because just like with writers you will find there is a lot of competition for jobs.
