Here at Tiny Prints, Halloween is one of our favorite times of the year. How can you resist all the tricks and treats? (We can't!) That's why we created this fun witch wreath—guaranteed to make every visitor to your doorstep let out a little chuckle.
What You'll Need
- Foam ring (we went with a medium size)
- Spool of black tulle
- Felt
- Ribbon trim
- Decorative bird (optional)
- Hot glue gun
- Stapler
Step 1: Get Wrapping
Start by gluing the end of the tulle to the foam ring, this will be your starting point. From there, wrap the entire ring with tulle so it is completely covered. When you get to the end, glue to hold it in place.
Step 2: Gather Round
Next you'll want to start gathering the tulle to make the "skirt." We found it easier to do this section by section. (3-5 inch sections at a time.) Next, add glue to a small section of the ring and attach the gathered tulle. Work your way around the ring.
Step 3: Staple Away
Once you have a full "skirt," staple the tulle to the ring too. This will keep it more secure and prevent it from unraveling.
Step 4: Do the Legwork
Now it's time to get creative. We used felt to make the legs and the shoes. You can pick any color you want. Then we added ric rac trim for the witch's socks. Again, let your imagination run wild with this step and make her legs and shoes as fun and crazy as you'd like.
Step 5: Add the Finishing Touches
We topped off our wreath by gluing on a spooky little crow. You could also try adding a spider or a miniature broom. The choice is yours. Then hang and enjoy!
If you try this craft, or any of our DIY ideas at home, send photos to email@example.com. We'd love to feature them. Happy crafting!

By Paul Gardner
I'm with Seamus O'Brien. The chairman of the New York Cosmos. Make that the New New New York Cosmos. For this is the second attempt to revive the legendary team of
the 1970s.
The first rebirth, in 2010, was financed by Saudis and run by Brits. It quickly disintegrated into a hopeless shambles as the Brits displayed, yet again, their utter ignorance
of the American soccer scene.
O'Brien -- another Brit -- has picked up the pieces. The Saudi backers are still in the game, but half the money is now O'Brien's. His
credentials are impressive -- a 20-year career in the Far East, the founder of World Sports Group, touted as "Asia's largest sports marketing company." Now comes the Cosmos
On Saturday the New (x3) York Cosmos will take the field for their first game in the North American Soccer League -- playing at Hofstra University's stadium, exactly
where the original Cosmos played their second season in 1972.
The new team is coached by Giovanni Savarese. An enormously popular figure in New York soccer, Savarese looks like an
inspired choice as coach. He's been signing players -- they include the 37-year-old Marcos Senna, but he's an exception, the rest are far from being world-class stars.
let's take a look at how the Cosmos will do against the Fort Lauderdale Strikers. But immediately O'Brien -- to my displeasure -- is extolling the business side of the Cosmos project.
"This is a unique opportunity," he says, "I would have regretted passing this up." Hell, is this the way soccer discussions must begin these days? I'm afraid it is, so my
displeasure is of little consequence ... the soccer will have to wait. We must talk money first.
O'Brien: "Soccer is a global game, part of the global economy -- and this team
wants to be a part of that." And "We're in the business of sport -- and sport today is a brutally competitive business." And "Sport is about economics, not the ability of
the players."
Gulp. Gulp!. But O'Brien's view of the future is interesting. Possibly even visionary. An electronic view. One in which television money becomes
even more important ... this is subscription TV he's talking about, not conventional TV. "Changes are going on now," he says, "revolutionary changes."
O'Brien and his partners have founded their own media channel, One World Sports, which will carry Cosmos games. A channel that not many people know about and even fewer can receive --
but start-ups are like that. I was around when ESPN began. It was no big deal.
Then there's more electronic stuff to digest -- "We're investing heavily in our
O'Brien's visions for the Cosmos may seem to float airily above reality -- well, visions do, don't they? -- but beneath them lie some very real problems.
Forget the global scene. How do the Cosmos make an impact on the American -- or the New York -- soccer scene?
After all, the aim of the New New York Cosmos was to be awarded a franchise
in MLS -- to become the league's second New York team.
"We said from Day One that we want to be an MLS team" -- thus Terry Byrne, the New New York Cosmos vice chairman,
in October 2011. Which made sense. Where else would the Cosmos play, if not in the No. 1 league, MLS?
Byrne is history, and his view of things does not make sense to O'Brien --
"I'm not aware of any statement made by us about being an MLS club," he says. True -- "us" being the New New New York Cosmos. Which means that the arrival of New York
City FC as an MLS franchise -- a move that would appear to have gazumped The Cosmos chances of an MLS franchise -- is of little concern to O'Brien. He dismisses it with "I couldn't
give a ..." and pauses for a suitable, and printable, expression of nothingness.
The Cosmos have joined the second tier North American Soccer League. From the O'Brien side of
things, it seems that the Cosmos have snubbed MLS, rather than the other way round. This was a choice, emphasizes O'Brien, not something forced on him: "We're happy with the decision
we've made. The MLS model is not for us. The structure of that league doesn't suit this club."
He's referring to the single-entity structure of MLS, with the
centralized control of its clubs and its salary restrictions. For O'Brien, with his global vision, that will not work for the Cosmos. Right -- in fact, I can't see it working for MLS,
which will have to abandon or radically revamp the comforts of single-entity if it wants to join the global soccer economy and fulfill Commissioner Don Garber's aim of being one of the
world's top leagues by 2022.
In the NASL, says O'Brien, things are decentralized and "we are able to do things like running our own licensing program. The success of the
league [NASL] is important to us -- we expect the league to be in 18 cities by 2018."
Which lets us know that O'Brien's vision of the future is medium term. He sees the
process of Cosmos regeneration and the coming of age of the NASL as a 10-year process.
All of which raises the possibility of two competing leagues -- something we had back in 1967 -- a
disastrous situation in which the two leagues (the USA and the NPSL) very nearly put each other out of business after just one season.
O'Brien shrugs that off: "Sport has
learned a lot in the last 30 years. A collapse [like that of the old NASL in 1984] wouldn't happen again. Lessons have been learned from the demise of previous leagues."
are back to strictly business talk -- because O'Brien's confidence is grounded in his view of the USA's financial strength: "The USA is the biggest economy in the world. This
will be the biggest soccer market, the biggest soccer economy, in the world in my lifetime. There's room here for 30 or 40 teams, maybe with promotion and relegation ..."
Well, 40 teams does not sound impossible -- and if the upstart AFL was able to muscle in on the established NFL in the 1960s, who's to say something similar cannot happen in soccer?
I'm doubtful -- because my frequent dealings, over the past decades, with second-tier soccer investors tell me that they are invariably people who have money, but not big money. It is
big money that will be required. The Cosmos it seems, have that; they are a massive exception to the norm. Could it be that the magic of the Cosmos name will attract big-time owners to the NASL?
Surely that is what O'Brien envisages when he proclaims that investing in an NASL franchise is, right now "probably the biggest business opportunity in sports."
On that
point, quite probably, rests how the future will judge Seamus O'Brien and his American adventure. Celebrated as the visionary who got it right ... or forgotten as just another Brit who got it
Oh yes -- the soccer. We'll get back to you on that, after that Cosmos-Fort Lauderdale game. A match-up from yesterday that carries a teasing hint of tomorrow.

need 3.0 help
Hello everyone. I'm here because I'm doing research on a project. I own a 2003 Saab 9-5 with a turbo 3.0 Catera motor. Most on my Saab forum say the motor can't handle much more than stock boost. The motor has a G17 running off the front bank of cylinders. Basically, I'm on a quest to make her twin turbo. I TIG and fab for a living, so fabrication costs are nil. My only expenses will be parts and computer tuning. I need help being pointed in the right direction as to who would have the knowledge I need to build up my motor to handle bigger turbos. Please take this seriously
Thank You

Re: need 3.0 help
Response. Id bet I can help as much as the people whove looked at this before me.
If someone on this board has an answer, they will let you know. This is a very helpful board. If nooone responds, you have an answer.
Re: need 3.0 help
The story is the same as with every stock motor out there. If you want it to handle more boost you have to strengthen and balance the motor. This means high performance rods and pistons, and a lighter balanced crank. Less rotating mass = higher rpms.
Long story short bring the engine to a machine shop, size the pistons and rods, then have them installed.

Re: need 3.0 help
Hi mate this has been tried in a few uk vauxhalls to no joy the biggest problem is cooling as the rear bank will get very hot! some tuned up NA 2.5 have been known to melt the no1 piston!!!! i only know of one thats been done in the uk and that cant be run too long :S and i belive the front valve springs are stronger so you would need to swap the backs out too

Modifying the SC480 for 2 ohm load
Hey guys i've been mucking around with a switchmode in class and i wanna build it into a car amp.
I've built an sc480 and was thinkin i could add a few more output transistors and make the thing stable into 2 ohms.
I've already read in silicon chip running higher rails is not a good idea as the transistors max voltage will be quickly exceeded.
Obviously i realise with power amplifiers the way to increase the output power is to run a higher supply voltage OR run lower impedance loudspeakers yeh?
So just as long as i have enough output devices so a 2 ohm load doesnt exceed the SOA of the transistors and the drivers can supply enough current there should not be any problem yeah?
Currently the amp has 4 output devices 2 pairs of tip3055 and tip2955 complementaries

So..... will it just.... melt???
Should i give it a go???

Okay here's a few things to think about.
You will need a much higher current supply, so as well as adding more outputs you will need to redo the PSU and up-current all the PCB traces. If the amp has protection, you will need to recalculate and possibly redesign the circuit. Will the driver/Vas stage cope with the extra output required to drive the extra output trannies? If not, that will need to be reworked as well.
These are just the first things that come to mind, I'm sure if I thought about it for longer I could come up with more. If you are capable of dealing with the above, then go for it, otherwise pick a more suitable amp if you don't like the smell of charred silicon.

the SOA of the output devices has to exceed the loadline of the speakers. Similarly the SOA of the drivers has to exceed the loadline of the speakers reflected by the outputs to the driver emitters. It's not just current but peak output current times a significant percentage of the supply rail. This percentage is already past halfway when the load presents a 45 degree phase angle and is approaching 75% of Vrail when the load is 60degree phase angle.
I suspect that 2pair of those puny output devices cannot cope with a 4ohm reactive speaker load. Doubling up the output devices might be a great way just to drive 4ohm properly.
This will very slightly reduce the loadline presented to the drivers, so you get a second advantage.

transistor options
The output transistors you mention are relatively weak, you can use the same number of far more capable devices and get much closer, if not all the way to your target.
For instance, the mj15003 & 4 pairs are more than twice as capable from a power, current and voltage perspective. They are also close enough in terms of their other characteristics to think they'd work without changing the rest of the circuit. If the to3 package is an issue consider the mjl21193 & 4, probably better transistors, slightly lower power handling.
Depending on the rail voltage present while trying to drive a 2ohm load two pairs of these transistors may be all you need...on a big heatsink...
Doubling up the 3055s will definitely help, but probably not enough.

Thanks for the replies guys.
For those unfamiliar with the circuit it uses a +/- 40 v rail.
Input stage is a diff pair of 557's with a CCS.
VAS is a diff pair with a current mirror.
Bias is supplied via a vbe multiplier
Drivers are mje340 / 350
Output stages are tip3055 / 2955 ( 2 complementary pairs )
Redesigning the pcb was in the back of my mind and increasing the track width for the high current tracks was definately already considered.
As far as the power supply is concerned it will not be a restriction to output power.
In the article for the amplifier it says the output into 8 ohms is 50w RMS and output into 4 ohms is 70wRMS. What restricts it from being closer to 100w RMS, is it the power supply or the current gain in the output, or something else?
As far as output devices go Mjl21193/4 or 15003/4 seem like a good idea, but i'd say 15003/4 are better cause im only going to use +/- 40 rails. Using mje 340 / 350 drivers does this seem more feasible?
I have read about the difference of a resistive load and a real (inductive/capacitive) load and i've seen the difference between the two. If anyone's got a link to more info it would be great as i want to learn how to draw all the complex impedances etc onto a load line etc.
thakyou for replies.

do you have a schematic?
Without looking it's hard to know, it could be the drivers and outputs current limiting (or a protection circuit), but I'd guess the power supply is the limiting factor. The current required for a 4ohm load is within the short term capabilities of the transistors, if not the long term, the TIP package is quite small...
Ignoring SOA issues: With a perfect 40v power supply etc your maximum peak current is 20A into a resistive 2ohm load, with 3 pairs of mjl21193 you get ~6 amps each. On-semi show a typical gain of 40 at 6A, so you'd need 500ma peak from the drivers, probably too much for an mje340, you might consider the mje15028 and it's partner.
There is a spreadsheet floating around that, suitably primed, performs SOA calculations, and will show you what safety margin a particular set of transistors offers with different loads, both resistive and reactive.

CrackerJack saidwow, thx man
I'm in for $150. So what should the rules be? swf size limit? anything goes? Needs to involve Chuck Norris?
maybe we can just set a simple size limit like whole thing (swf+assets) zipped <= X Kb
Also we should decide if subject is free or not
What about something related with widgets?
Not something made in Air for desktop, but something to be included in any template of file, as a component. So anyone can use it for free (if we decide so) and give AD some exposure with the resulting files.
EDIT : if design is a main issue, i would not limit on file size.
Agreed, I think this time we shouldn't limit anything except deadline.
as long as we decide a subject we no longer need size limitation
I'd like to have some fun making something with audio. I also like Pez's idea of freebies.
I made a banner that can be used on the official competition topic or whatever, and "yes, there will be blood". lol
Hope it's ok I used your fox envato!
bitfade said
being sick of all the crying threads about flash on AD, i tought it would be a good time to make another unofficial flash competition
For the above mentioned reason, I don't see a valid reason for making a competition; will just swallow potential author's time. In otherwords serious authors would spend time on making Flash item rather than working for competition. May be official competions to boost certain hopeful categories could be some what understandable. Ofcourse a competition just for making fun would be different case but that doesn't require a reason.
what about an as2 animation+scripts that can be compiled to html5 by Google's swiffy properly? tat means that content can run on all screens you can ever imagined.for example: http://swiffy.googlelabs.com/gallery/example2.html

from Department of Energy web site
I found this at
Derating gas burners
Many boilers and furnaces in today's homes are oversized, particularly if you've upgraded the energy efficiency of your home. It is sometimes possible to reduce the heating capacity of your gas boiler or furnace to make it operate more efficiently by reducing the size of the gas burner orifice, and possibly also the baffles. This is a difficult process that should only be performed by a qualified technician, and in some cases, it could violate local building codes and void manufacturer's warranties. If allowed, though, the modifications should cost less than $100 and can save up to 15% of your fuel costs.
Steam boilers should only be derated if the steam system is also modified to remove excess radiators, which is a tricky procedure. See the heading "A Special Case: Sizing Steam Heating Systems" in the Sizing Systems section.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Head men's basketball coach Jack Murphy and the Northern Arizona men's basketball program is proud to host their third annual Coaches Dinner on Thursday, July 31, followed by the two-day Coaches Clinic on Aug. 1-2. Speaking at this year's dinner will be former UCLA, Pittsburgh and NAU head coach Ben Howland at Pine Canyon Golf Club.
Howland is the third coach to speak at the dinner following current Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr last year and NBA legend George Karl in 2012. At the dinner, attendees will be able to hear stories from Howland and participate in a Q&A with the former Lumberjack coach.
Howland spent five years at Northern Arizona from 1995-99 and led the Lumberjacks to three straight seasons with 20-plus wins. The former Lumberjack coach guided NAU to its first Big Sky Tournament Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance in the 1997-98 season. That squad was inducted into the NAU Hall of Fame in 2004.
The annual Lumberjack Basketball Coaches Clinic began in the summer of 2012 by Murphy and his staff. The clinic aims at providing a platform for coaches to gather together and continue to learn in the game of basketball and leadership. The Lumberjacks Coaches Clinic features on-court demonstrations from some of the top coaches at the NBA, collegiate and high schools ranks.
This year, Murphy and his staff have assembled the deepest pool of coaches with three coaches in the NBA and eight collegiate coaches. The big names coming to Flagstaff include Howland, current Toronto Raptors assistant coach Jesse Mermuys, former Arizona head coach and current head coach of Central Arkansas Russ Pennell and David Grace, an assistant coach at UCLA who previously coached in the high school ranks in Phoenix.
If you would like to attend the dinner with Ben Howland, tickets are $75 per person and space is limited. For more information or to purchase tickets, contact Landon Cosby at email@example.com. For coaches looking to sign up for the Coaches Clinic, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

The hospital rising over Montreal's west end is supposed to become one of the world's leading medical institutions, a hub of ground-breaking research and top-level care. SNC-Lavalin, a jewel of corporate Canada building the $1.3-billion project, was running the project like clockwork – at first. Little wonder Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Philippe Couillard, Quebec's former health minister and current Quebec Liberal leadership candidate, were among the luminaries who flocked to be associated with Arthur Porter, the magnetic personality presiding over the McGill University Health Centre. Today, the dream behind the hospital is overshadowed by multimillion-dollar corruption charges against the men in charge. Dr. Porter is a wanted man. Former SNC-Lavalin CEO Pierre Duhaime awaits a court date. The politicians who once scrambled to share the glow at the conjunction of public and private prestige now duck for cover.
The project
For a period in the mid-2000s, the plan to build an English-language hospital complex in Montreal was the envy of the francophone half of the city, which watched helplessly as their own mega-hospital was delayed again and again.
While the French project languished on the drawing board amid recriminations and disputes over location, the English project hummed along, a veritable model of competent organization, efficient fundraising and community strength. Arthur Porter, who was to have a street near the site named for him, was not shy about crediting his own organizational acumen as the reason construction ever started.
The only thing holding the project back, for years, was the drawn-out wait for a political green light from the province. Successive PQ and Liberal governments had no interest in allowing an English hospital to rise from the vacant Glen Yards site while francophones scrapped over whether to build in Outremont, the affluent francophone bastion, or the downtrodden east-side core.
A prominent separatist group and some Quebec nationalists complained that there shouldn't be a separate English hospital at all.
The idea of building new super-hospitals to replace several decrepit hospitals, some dating to the Victorian era, first surfaced in 1991. In the late 1990s, eight of the city's hospitals were merged into two networks – the McGill University Health Centre and the Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal. In 1999, the province announced it would turn the two networks into prestigious and gigantic bricks-and-mortar institutions.
After a decade of bickering over language, location, specialties, and which of the old hospitals would be bulldozed, construction finally began three years ago. The English hospital complex is expected to be completed in 2015. The French hospital should have a first phase open in 2016 but won't be entirely ready before 2019.
The institutions
McGill University Health Centre
When the McGill University Health Centre was introduced in 1994, the promise was that it would become one of the 10 best medical institutions in the world, a magnet for research and innovation. "The status quo is not an option," said the MUHC chairman, Alex Patterson, 21 years before the new hospital would be complete.
The genesis of the health centre dates back to the early 1990s, when provinces were making big health-care budget cuts. One of the most popular approaches was to consolidate the administration of various hospitals. Most of Montreal's English-language health-care institutions are teaching hospitals affiliated with Canada's oldest and most prestigious medical school at McGill University, so it was a natural unifying force. There was a recognition, however, that most of these facilities were old and rundown, and merely removing a layer of bureaucracy was not going to solve that fundamental problem. The idea of a "super-hospital" quickly evolved from being a "virtual" facility to a new, bricks-and-mortar one.
But, along the way, the initial idea of replacing several old facilities with a new one succumbed to political pressure and the MUHC took shape as a new institution that would exist in addition to many of the old ones.
SNC-Lavalin Group Inc.
One measure of how important Lavalin Inc. was to Quebec in 1991 was how the provincial government forced smaller SNC Group Inc. to take over its giant, debt-ridden rival. The province literally declared Lavalin "too big to fail."
The combined SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. has grown exponentially from there. From Vancouver's rapid transit system to the Alberta oil sands to Ontario's Highway 407, SNC-Lavalin has had its stamp on many of Canada's biggest infrastructure projects. At $1.3-billion, SNC's contract to build Montreal's hospital complex is dwarfed by some of its national and international projects. But it should have been a prestigious hometown jewel for the Montreal-based company rather than just another piece of Quebec's growing construction and engineering corruption scandal.Report Typo/Error

The T-Birds raced among several nationally-ranked teams in the men's Blue Race, finishing just after No. 1 Oklahoma State (7th) and No. 19 Boise State (8th), and finishing ahead of No. 12 Indiana (21st). "This is probably one of our best performances we've ever had," head coach Eric Houle commented after the race. "In previous years, when the field included about 25 teams, I would hope for at least a top-20 finish. Now they've doubled the size of the field and we finished 10th." Ryan Barrus once again finished first for Southern Utah, recording a 25th-place time of 23:57.54 in the 8k. Barrus' time marks a new all-time best for Southern Utah on the Pre-Nationals course, beating out Mark Currell's 2007 time of 24:14.0. Mike Tate scored next for the Thunderbirds, racing to a 59th-place time of 24:17.17 with Hayden Hawks following in 71st place with a 24:24.61 finish. Dylan Marx and Anthony Brown tallied the rest of the men's points with respective times of 24:28.00 (79th) and 25:08.35 (190th). Tate, Hawks, Marx and Brown also broke into Southern Utah's course records for Pre-Nationals, ranking fourth, sixth, seventh and 10th respectively, and the squad's combined efforts resulted in a score of 425. "For Southern Utah to go in and produce that kind of showing is exactly what we hope for," Houle added. "It really speaks volumes of both the conditioning and the confidence these guys possess." Southern Utah's women spent the weekend racing at Santa Clara's Bronco Invitational, and now both squads will return home to prepare for the Big Sky Conference Championship, which will take place Nov. 2 in Bozeman, Mont.

Mother Suspected in 10-Year-Old Boy's Abduction
PALMDALE (CNS) - Palmdale sheriff's detectives sought the public's help tonight in finding a 10-year-old boy abducted by his mother outside a foster home in Palmdale.
Matisse Murphy was taken from the home at on Monday according to Deputy Jodi Wolfe of the sheriff's Palmdale Station. He is described as a black, about 4 feet 11 inches tall, weighing 80 pounds.
His mother, Nisshawn Murphy, 39, was ordered by the court to relinquish her parental rights due to several criminal convictions. She is 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 145 pounds.
Wolfe said cellphone records show that Nisshawn had made several trips to the

As has been the case all season for UNC, it was a tale of two halves. And like in last week's loss to N.C. State, an excellent first-half effort was the polar opposite of what took place in the final half.
"There were some familiar things that took place out there today, but our team battled and played hard," said UNC coach John Bunting. "There are some good things we can take from this game. There were some things that in my mind hurt us. Sometimes, things that just eat you up, because you know there are trying to make a play, and they get out of position and don't make the play and it hurts us.
"It's a game we had a great chance to pull off something special for our fans back home and our fans that came to the game, and I'm disappointed for them," Bunting continued. "But I'm mostly disappointed for the staff and the players that worked so hard this week."
UNC (2-5, 0-3 ACC) dominated the first half, gobbling up an impressive 266 total yards to Virginia's 127 - of which 35 came on a Matt Schaub scramble under heavy pressure. But as was the case last week, the lead was short-lived.
Virginia's Marquis Weeks returned the second-half kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown to put the Cavs right back in the game and give a major juice injection to a crowd in desperate need of something to get excited about.
"That was a big play because it gave them a reason to feel good about something," said
But history then sort of repeated itself in a cruel way for the Tar Heels, which, like it was in an earlier loss to Georgia Tech, may have ultimately been the game's deciding play.
UNC responded the Wahoos' first score with a nifty 71-yard drive, keyed by Durant's 20-yard third-down completion to Bobby Blizzard's fumble at Tech's two on UNC's first possession of the third quarter last month.
A UNC score against the Jackets could have meant victory. Today it would have meant a 28-7 lead and momentum would have swung back to the Tar Heels.
"Moving that ball down there and coming up with no points was also," Bunting said. "There were two very deflating situations in the second half and that was one of them."
UVa responded with a 98-yard scoring drive that included pass plays of 20 and 42 yards, as well as an 8-yard TD reception by Billy McMullen, who was wide open after losing UNC's
Schaub was also sharp, throwing for 154 of his 194 yards after intermission, which included the go-ahead score - a 35-yard toss to Ottawa Anderson with 11:53 left in the game.
Anderson crossed from right to left and received the short pass out in front of UNC's
Compounding matters, Durant, who was having a stellar performance (14-18, 226 yards, 3 TDs), left the game after hitting a helmet during a pass attempt, and was unable to return. Backup C.J. Stephens, who had thrown just 15 passes before today, was thrown into the fire, and the combination of him being rusty and increasing struggles along the offensive line made the final quarter seem like an eternity for the Tar Heels.
"I think collectively we were having some problems offensively," said Stephens. "There was a big momentum swing and we were trying to recover, and I've been in a few games since I've been in so definitely it takes you a minute or two to get your feet wet."
The Hoos scored two more times - a 22-yard field goal by Kurt Smith and a 17-yard scamper by Perman - to complete its barrage. And although UNC tacked on a late touchdown when Stephens hit Aiken for a 14-yard scoring toss, the game wasn't in doubt, and the Heels remained winless in Charlottesville since 1981.
All told, UNC allowed 298 yards in the final two periods, a 100-yard kickoff for a score, and fumbled at UVa's two. Few teams can survive such a half, especially Carolina, even when leading by 21 points.
The Heels opened the game strong, forcing a fumble (recovered by Darian Durant to Jawarski Pollock for a 7-0 lead with 7:02 left in the opening period.
UNC's second score came on a quick-strike from Durant to Aiken for a 78-yard score and a 14-0 advantage with 11:51 left in the second.
The Heels surged ahead by three TDs after John Lafferty hit Bobby Blizzard for 24 yards and a first down at the UVa four.
"We've been waiting for a while to run that on somebody," Blizzard said. "And the type of field goal defense they were running gave us a good opportunity to run something like that. We got them and it was a big play for our offense."
As for Durant, who was icing his right thumb when he met with the media, the waiting will now begin. He will have the thumb examined tomorrow morning to see if it is a break or just a bad bruise. Either way, it wasn't comfortable.
"It's sore," Durant said about the thumb. "There's a lot of swelling, but, that occurs with bruises and that occurs with breaks. So hopefully it's just a bruise."
Although there were many positives for a half, the negatives surely stand out. Over the last two games, UNC has been outscored 64-14 in the second half after holding a combined first-half margin of 31-7. Chapman and his mates know it too.
"We just have to learn to mature out there, in games and in practice," he said. "Once we mature more we will be a lot better."

The model numbers of all XS sight sets are listed with a numerical suffix: for example, the standard dot, pinned front sight for my J-frame was RV-0001N-4.
That last number is what you want to get, because it points you to the proper chapter of the large instruction sheet that accompanies each set that is ordered from XS.
Now, I'm not sure from reading your post whether you ordered the sights from XS and then gave them to a gunsmith to install, or whether the outfit that installed the sights handled the ordering, in which case the instruction sheet probably never came to you.
Anyway, see if you can get the model number of your sight set, then look for that last number (-#). Then get the instruction sheet and refer to the "chapter" that discusses proper installation of you particular set.
XS does recommend red loctite in many, if not all, cases to prevent sight screw movement after the gun has been sighted in to your satisfaction. So if no loctite was used in your case yet, I'm sure that will be the #1 recommended fix. Wait and see what others will say; I have only ever installed pinned front XS sights (on my revos), and so have no first-hand experience with rear sights, sight screws, sighting in, etc.

To All Depository Institutions and Others Concerned in the Second Federal Reserve District:
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("FRBNY") has implemented new procedures for depository institutions in the Second District to appeal adverse material supervisory determinations. These procedures are contained in the enclosed new Operating Circular No. 22 , effective July 8, 1996. They were developed in accordance with Section 309 of the Riegle Community Development and Improvement Act of 1994, and guidelines issued by the Board of Governors.
The procedures permit institutions to request an appeal of "material supervisory determinations," which include but are not limited to determinations relating to examination or inspection composite ratings, the adequacy of loan loss reserves, and significant loan classifications.
An institution may initiate an appeal by sending a "notice of appeal" to Chester B. Feldberg, the FRBNY officer-in-charge of Bank Supervision, within 30 calendar days of written receipt of the material supervisory determination. If the appeal is informationally complete, the FRBNY will convene a Review Panel to hear the appeal. The Procedures set forth guidelines for selecting a review panel and for conducting the hearing.
Questions on this matter may be directed to Martin Grant, Counsel
*Please note OC #22 no longer exists.

It's Election Day, which means millions of voters are headed to the polls. But there's a sizable number of people who aren't permitted to cast ballots because they've been caught up in the criminal justice system. An estimated 5.3 million Americans have currently or permanently lost their right to vote because of felony convictions--and given the country's ever-expanding prison system, that number will likely increase. At least four million of those people have completed their sentences or are on probation or parole, according to NPR.
This disenfranchisement was recently dubbed "the new Jim Crow" by author Michelle Alexander, because of the sheer size of its racial disparity. Since black men are incarcerated at a far higher rate than the national average, they are also denied the right to vote at a far higher rate--seven times the national average; 1.4 million African-American men have lost their voting rights, according to the Sentencing Project.
The Sentencing Project reports that several states, acting in response to advocates' pressure, have tweaked their laws in recent years to restore ex-felons' rights. But reform advocates are pushing the Democracy Restoration Act, a federal initiative that would restore voting rights nationally to those who have been released from prison. The bill was introduced by Michigan Rep. John Conyers and Sen. Russ Feingold, who's facing a tough day the polls in his home state of Wisconsin. With or without Feingold, advocates are urging members of Congress to support the bill, which you can read more about here.

Been reading posts here for days
I've driven Honda's, Toyota's, Infiniti's, Lexuses, etc for all of my 40 years. I'm in a Lexus GS430 now - previous was an '05 Infinit G35 couple. The GS is a good car, and the 4.3 sounds pretty decent when the foot is down, but I just need something with some excitement. My natural instinct would be to go for a couple-year-old IS-F.
However, I've always been smitten with the M3. Seems like everyone who drives them loves them. After reading hundreds of threads here, I'm pretty sold. Still undecided about coupe or convertible; I've always wanted a convertible of some sort, but 400+ pounds extra is a high price to pay.
I'm leaning towards an '08 or 09, Tech + Premium packages with Enhanced Prem Sound, silver or gray with black interior, 20-spoke wheels. The nearest one from Jacksonville FL per Autotrader is North Carolina - and a perfectly optioned IS-F popped up for sale five miles from my house - ugh! Must resist...
Welcome! Lexus makes some awesome cars, no doubt.
I got an 09 M3 Coupe in Feb, and love it.
Any specific questions I can help with, happy to try.

We have talked about the priority of making your Web site an efficient and successful "machine" for converting your traffic, and we've discussed strategies to help you improve your conversion rates. Today I'd like to step back and take a broader look at the nature of conversion, both as an idea that shapes the exchanges between you and your prospects and more importantly as a compelling process that should guide the entire scope of your online efforts.
The Idea of Conversion
When I use the word "conversion," I am not necessarily talking about a conventional purchase — the exchange of money for product or service — although that certainly is one outcome of conversion. More generally, I am talking about persuading a visitor to take the action you want them to take. The idea of conversion applies not only to sales but also to opt-ins, lead generation, sweepstake entries, affiliate programs, referrals, and registrations of every type (becoming a member, signing up for a newsletter, etc.). If conversion equals persuasion, then persuasion equals selling. Selling is both the art and science of professional persuasion using time-tested and proven methods and systems.
Keep in mind that "persuasion," as I use the term, does not mean manipulating or misleading. It is a particular way of communicating so that when your prospects ultimately take the action you want them to take, it is because they understands that action is in their best interest. Prospects who feel manipulated will take an action: They'll leave. And buyers who realize afterward that they've been manipulated won't buy again, at best, and at worst will return the purchase and say nasty things about you.
Conversion As a System
Conversion can be viewed as a complex system, the success of which depends on the system's ability to address the varying levels of need a user brings to the online experience. To be effective, your Web site must address these user needs at every point in the process. I've already covered all the components of this system in previous articles; now I'd like to help you synthesize these interrelated pieces by thinking of the conversion system as a musical score.
WIIFM: The Bass Line
At the most fundamental level, every user is motivated by the question, "What's in it for me?" (WIIFM). This is like the bass line — the perceived undertone that grounds the user at all times. In our musical score, think of WIIFM as the musical foundation around which the score deliberately moves the listener (your visitor) toward a satisfying and delightful ending that is and feels complete.
Failure to address WIIFM throughout your score is the single element most likely to interfere with higher conversions. Your visitors' motivations change by individual personality type (which can be categorized into driver, analytic, amiable, and social), mood, environment, intelligence, expertise in your product or service, level of experience with the Web, and other psychographic factors. By virtue of their complex natures, humans introduce an element of chaos into the system that will always thwart total predictability.
The goal of a good conversion system is to support a maximum degree of flexibility and acknowledge as many of these personal and psychological variables as possible throughout the structure and design of the site.
AIDAS: The Beat
On top of the sustained note, and presenting an organizing rhythm, is AIDAS (attention, interest, desire, action, and satisfaction); it adds to our musical score the beat that propels the user through the goal of conversion.
To maintain this momentum, Web pages must grab the user's attention and instill an interest to move forward. This is an iterative process. The site creates and nurtures a visitor's desire for the product or service until the decision to take action occurs, all the while making certain that the entire experience is satisfying. The ability of the rhythm to draw the user in, keep the user focused, and move the user along the process requires you to pay attention to every element in the design and execution of your site. The second the rhythm falters, the user disengages from the process and will typically decide to bail out.
The Five-Step Sales Process: The Melody
The tune, the component of our score that is easiest to grasp and the one to which the listener will most consciously pay attention, is the five-step sales process: prospect, rapport, qualify, present, and close.
The melody begins with prospecting (marketing tactics through which the user is directed to the Web site). Then, when the user arrives, the site immediately undertakes to develop rapport, just as would happen in a real-world sales environment. It communicates to the user that your company understands her needs and can meet them in a manner that isn't just satisfying, but delightful. Through the iterative experience of qualifying and presenting, your site helps your user clarify what exactly she needs, and suggests avenues for how to achieve that need, until your user is prepared to take action, the action you want.
Everything Else: The Harmony
A bass line and a melody line may sound OK, but it's the harmony that really thrills. All of the components of your site must reinforce each other so that the result sounds rich and full, not weak and thin. Pay attention to the details, and you'll have your listeners' rapt attention. Otherwise, at best you'll be just background music.
People intuitively understand music as a coherent whole. If someone omits a phrase, the music feels incomplete; we may not be musicians and be able to say why, but we know. Nor do you have to be a musician to hear dissonance and discordance, hardly a pleasant experience. Remember, too, that if you ignore parts of the natural melody line, you'll leave your listener stranded. And you can't go too far off the melody line, or you'll leave your listener confused. All are frustrating experiences for the listener, who will likely get up and walk out on your concert!
Customers want to know not only that you are playing their song but also that you are playing it the way they want to hear it. What does your conversion process sound like?

West Seattle Bridge construction celebrated with a series of summer events
30 years ago the dream of driving across a bridge to West Seattle without interruption (well as least most of the time) became a reality when the upper level West Seattle Bridge was built. It has led to many changes in the community, some of which are only happening recently. To commemorate this event, Hotwire Online Coffeehouse and other West Seattle businesses are collaborating with the Southwest Seattle Historical Society to create a series of 30th anniversary events this summer called "Bridging the Gap"!
The events kick off at 6-9 p.m. Thursday, June 12, 2014, at Hotwire with an exhibit of photos telling the story of the West Seattle Bridge.The event also marks the debut of a 30th anniversary "Bridging the Gap" T-shirt, based on the original design and manufactured at Seattle Logo Pro (owned by David Groves) in the Junction. Graphic artist David Kelliher, who created the design for Robinson Newspapers and the West Seattle Herald in 1984, will be on hand to sign the T-shirts, and Hotwire's "Bridge Blend" coffee beans will debut the same night. A portion of proceeds from sale of the T-shirts and coffee beans will go to our historical society. The T-shirts also will be on sale at West5 Lounge in the Junction as well as at the historical society's "Birthplace of Seattle" Log House Museum.
Other events:
-- Friday, July 11, through Sunday, July 13, 2014, West Seattle Summerfest booth, featuring interactive art in which visitors can color themselves atop the West Seattle Bridge. "Bridging the Gap" T-shirts and "Bridge Blend" coffee beans also will be available at the booth.
-- Monday evening, July 14, 2014, "Bridging the Gap: The Full Story Told by Those Who Were There," a free panel presentation in the Hotwire courtyard, including Charles Royer, former Seattle mayor and other city officials responsible for funding and building the bridge.
-- Saturday evening, Aug. 2, 2014, "Sleepless in Seattle," the 1993 PG-rated movie partially filmed in West Seattle, dusk in the Hotwire courtyard, part of West Seattle Outdoor Movies. Proceeds from refreshment sales will go to the Southwest Seattle Historical Society.

A teaching content revolution has begun in the Netherlands that could change the face of teaching across the country. The idea is simple: to make digital content available for all teachers and students via itslearning. The vision is huge: to have a fully plugged in teaching community that gets fresh and current content every day.
Imagine starting your teaching day by logging onto your learning platform to check for the latest teaching content. Perhaps the big news of the day is a new report on global warming. You browse the new resources, sorting by level and subject, until something catches your eye: an interactive geography exercise based on the global warming report. You review the content, and decide to teach it that afternoon.
This is a future envisioned by Erik van Noordenne, Commercial Director at da Vinci College. Erik is already responsible for delivering courses to 380 vocational colleges throughout the country. Teachers simply log onto itslearning and choose the course they want to use, and students automatically only see the courses they follow.
"At the moment, the content is still based on existing textbooks because that's what teachers are familiar with," explains Erik. "We have simply taken the content, adapted it for digital use and loaded it onto itslearning – and as more teachers get used to the concept, we are thinking increasingly digital. But the big change will come through the students, who already think and work digitally. The students will lead the way, not the other way around."
For Erik, this means making better use of the technology by creating more videos and animations, and linking tasks to different media, such as discussion forums and blogs. "The key is to think like a student," he says. "Students are happy online, they flick from static pages to videos and listening to podcasts. We need to think the same way when we make digital content. I don't think the big publishing companies can do it. They've spent too long thinking in paper."
As well as helping motivate students, there are a number of more concrete benefits to using a learning platform with pre-loaded digital content. A user subscription to itslearning – preloaded with 380+ courses – is around half the price of a single textbook, and doesn't need transporting or storing. itslearning also automates many of the daily tasks teachers need to do, such as marking assignments and completing reports, to help reduce teacher workload.
"There are many obvious reasons for using digital content," explains Erik. "But for many principals, it comes down to better teaching quality. Teachers don't have a lot of time, but many are already creating their own digital resources. If they can find the content they already need in the learning platform, they have more time to spend doing what they do best: teaching."

Complaint: Free weed at rallies not reported
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - A watchdog group says the free joints handed out by opponents of taxes on recreational pot must be reported as campaign contributions.
The left-leaning Colorado Ethics Watch filed a complaint with the Secretary of State's Office, saying the No Over Taxation group didn't disclose from where it got the marijuana cigarettes it gave away or what they cost.
The joints were given away at rallies in Denver and Boulder.
The Grand Junction Sentinel reports the committee couldn't be reached for comment Tuesday.
Colorado voters will decide in November whether to impose a 15 percent excise tax and a 10 percent sales tax on retail sales that start Jan. 1.

By Rob Kelly
Laurent Koscielny insists Arsenal will not let the pressure get to them in their final match of the season at West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.
The Gunners need a victory at the Hawthorns to secure third place in the Premier League and automatic qualification for next season's Champions League.
Koscielny admits that the stakes are high, but says he and his team-mates will only focus on beating Roy Hodgson's team rather than worrying about the wider implications.
"When you go on the pitch, we want only to win the game, so [the pressure] changes nothing," he told Arsenal Player.
"We go to West Brom to win, but you have a little pressure because you must get a win. But every team must win, like Tottenham and Newcastle and we have everything in our hands.
"If we play like a team, a unit, we will win."
Koscielny admits that Arsenal are fortunate to still be in control of their own destiny following their 3-3 draw with Norwich last weekend, and insists they will not waste this chance.
"Yes, we have had some luck," he said. "This season has been strange because we started with a number of defeats, so it was difficult. But after we came back we all played for our team-mates and we got back to fourth and then third.
"In football you will have some chances, but you have to be careful because things can change very quickly. For the last game, we have things in our hands and we must go to West Brom and win."
