BUG!!: please fix :)
Hi, found a bug..

the shortening function IS working, if I use it on an url without CSS selector or xpath.
so if I shorten like this:

The css selector is correct, so no errors there. I also tried with {#escape} {/escape} around the css selector and also encoding and decidong using your tags for that - but nothing works

make a new paste option for html
just want to paste a gmail signature into gmail formatted....but it all comes out as html code unformatted...
can you add an option to paste html code formatted??
I mean - paste the html the way it should look - not as the code
the reason is because using xpath I get the details about an email I am about to send (recipients email etc) and append my signature links with tracking code specific for that recipient...

Allow to trim text by certain number of characters
I would like to be able to trim "x" amount of characters from the beginning or end of a text result. For example, I'm using xpath to copy a model number from a webpage, but the model number is preceded by "Model #" in the tag I'm pulling (e.g. "Model # 1234").

text: Return air is related to forced air type home heating systems. The return air in these systems is circulated from the furnace (heating supply air) in ducts, to individual rooms. In the rooms (except for bathrooms and kitchens), there should be a return duct for the "return air." This is air that completes the circulation and returns cool air back to the furnace in return ducts. Return ducts are typically under negative pressure, so should be sealed so as not to "suck in" pollutants during the trip back to the furnace to be re-heated. The furnace needs this full closed circulation of air to minimize its "suction" on the rest of the house, which can cause induction of soil gases and radon, and can pressurize the house with supply air, which can increase the air leakage and home heating costs.

Despite a 39-year Stanley Cup drought, the Philadelphia Flyers have showcased a collection of players considered to be fan favorites. Bobby Clarke, Pelle Lindbergh, and Eric Lindros are a few of many. But what about those who left the organization only to announce that they were coming home to Philadelphia? Here are the top six Flyers who returned to the Flyers after leaving the City of Brotherly Love.
6. Craig Berube
Statistically speaking, Craig Berube's name won't headline any franchise records for the Flyers. That is, unless, the category is penalty minutes. In that case, Berube's name is ninth all-time among members of the orange and black to sit in the sin bin. But the current head coach of the Flyers mirrored the identity of the team he now leads, which makes his multiple returns to Philadelphia sentimental.
As an enforcer for the Flyers for parts of six seasons, including the 186-87 team that lost to the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Final, Berube shared in the high's and low's of the roller coaster ride that Flyers fans know all too well. In fact, it was the 1987 loss to Edmonton that Berube recalled to be one of his worst memories when he talked with The Hockey News back in 2009.
"I guess losing in the Stanley Cup final; Philadelphia vs. Edmonton and then with Washington against Detroit."
Craig Berube is the 18th head coach in Flyers history. This was, at the start, his seventh season as a Flyers assistant coach.
— Sarah Baicker (@sbbaicker) October 7, 2013
Fun fact: Craig Berube and Dallas Eakins have the lowest combined body fat of any two coaches in NHL history.
— Dan Tencer (@dantencer) December 29, 2013
Berube may have tallied only 10 goals throughout his two tours with the Flyers, his 1,054 games played with five teams, including the Flyers, led to his most recent return to Philadelphia resulting in a coaching career that now positions him behind the current team's bench.
"Berube is the right man for the job. You can see it in Berube's everyday interaction with players, the amount of reverence they have for him – even when he cracks a joke with his dry wit. How respected is Berube? He played for the Flyers, Flames and Capitals during his career – and all three teams wanted him back for a second stint." — Frank Seravalli, philly.com
Berube's contributions to the Flyers, as well as the discernment he brings to his coaching approach, makes his return to Philadelphia not only pleasant, but relevant.
5. Rick Tocchet
Rick Tocchet's name may be associated with the enemy now that he's an assistant coach for the Pittsburgh Penguins, but that doesn't negate the multiple tenures in Philadelphia as a Flyer.
The former head coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning broke into the league with the Flyers, spending seven and a half seasons with the orange and black. After 42 games of the 1991-92 season, Tocchet was dealt to Pittsburgh, where he'd go on to win a Stanley Cup that very season.
"I said, 'I came from a team that's rebuilding,' recalled Tocchet. 'I got traded to the Penguins, to an All-Star team. There is no way I am going to sit in the stands watching the playoffs.'"
Tocchet's time in Pittsburgh turned out to be brief, however, as he was on the move again after 51 games into the 1993-94 season. Overall, the two-time Flyer made stops in Los Angeles, Boston, Washington, and Phoenix (on top of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh). After coming home to Philadelphia in 2000, Tocchet helped the Flyers reach the Eastern Conference Finals by scoring five goals and adding six assists over a stint of 18 playoff games. Coincidentally, Tocchet's efforts aided the Broad Street Bullies in eliminating the team he won a championship with in the Conference Semifinals.
"He was the type of player that stood up for his teammates," said former teammate, Keith Acton. "He's the kind of teammate that you really respected."
"A physical player that finished his checks and could play that grinding game which all fans would respect, but certainly in Philly they really respected that kind of play"
If the reports are true, I think it's super rad @RealRocket22 will be an asst. coach for the Pens. One of the smartest hockey minds I know.
— Sarah Baicker (@sbbaicker) June 25, 2014
Since re-joining the Penguins this past offseason, Tocchet has a good idea of how he'll be received in Philadelphia now that he's assisting Pens head coach Mike Johnston. After all, he did get booed by Flyers fans on draft night.
"Former Flyers player and analyst now Penguins assistant coach Rick Tocchet couldn't even feel the love while he was making the Penguins selection. Funny how things change so suddenly." — Brian Nestel, Broad Street Buzz
Tocchet left Philadelphia before for Pittsburgh, albeit it was a trade. But the former grinder spent nearly a decade away from Philadelphia before returning. Who knows if history will repeat itself one day in regard to his coaching career?
As of today, though, there's still a part of Rick Tocchet in Philadelphia. His nine-game consecutive goal streak lives as tops in franchise history to this day.
4. Mark Recchi
Number four on the list of best returns to Philadelphia is the three-time Stanley Cup winner who just happened to be part of the trade that sent Rick Tocchet to Pittsburgh in 1992. And although Mark Recchi spent parts of five seasons throughout his illustrious career with the Pittsburgh Penguins, he spent close to a decade with the Flyers between two tours.
After winning a Stanley Cup in Pittsburgh in 1991, Recchi joined the Flyers, giving Philadelphia his best overall career production. Recchi's first two full seasons with Philadelphia were monstrous, pitting together back-to-back 100 point seasons. His 53 goals and 123 points in the 1992-93 season stood to be his all-time best, despite the team failing to earn a berth in each season Recchi was present in his first go round.
"He may never have reached the ultimate goal with the Flyers, having to win his three Stanley Cups elsewhere, but Recchi was one of the best players in Flyers history during his 10 seasons in Philadelphia, and while his first five years he was an offensive dynamo on bad teams, his second five years was as a veteran who knew how to play the game, and who the fans fell in love with, who had a significant influence on several future Flyers – most notably Simon Gagne." — flyers.nhl.com
Mark Recchi (10/2/02), Mike Richards (2/8/06) and Mike Knuble (2/2/08) have also done it for Flyers since 1987. Three goals on 3 shots.
— Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) January 27, 2013
Recchi would go on to spend parts of five seasons with the Montreal Canadiens before coming home to Philadelphia a second time – in 1999. And after scoring 34 goals for the Habs in the 1996-97 season, Recchi would never reach the 30-goal threshold again in his career. He did, however, collect 91 points in his first full season back with the Flyers in the 1999-00 season.
Recchi would go on to lead the Flyers in points the following season with 77, and later in the 2003-04 campaign with 75.
"Philly is a great town, very similar to Boston as a sports' town," Recchi recalled. "I really enjoyed my time there. I thought I warranted staying (in 2005-06), but things happen for a reason. It's part of the game. It wasn't a bad deal. I ended up winning the Stanley Cup."
The now retired ex-Flyer suffered three concussions with Philadelphia throughout his two stays, which makes his 627 points in 602 games with the Flyers even more remarkable.
3. Simon Gagne
Upon Simon Gagne's first departure from Philadelphia, he was Philadelphia's longest-tenured player. After scoring 524 goals in 664 games over 10 seasons, former GM Paul Holmgren traded the long-time Flyer to the Tampa Bay Lightning for what seemed like a bag of pucks. All it took the Bolts to acquire Gagne was Matt Walker and a fourth-round draft pick.
"Anytime you're talking about a young man that has brought as much to the organization that Simon has, it's very difficult," said Holmgren after the trade.
For Gagne, however, things worked out. After finishing the 2010-11 season with the Lightning, where he would add 40 points in 63 games, he signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Kings. There, he joined former Flyers, Mike Richards and Jeff Carter, who would end up winning the Stanley Cup in 2012.
Gagne's longevity in Philadelphia, as well as his memorable Game 7-winning goal in the 2010 Eastern Conference Semifinals against Boston, were the biggest factors in the city's adoration for Gagne. That embrace was received in 2013 when the Kings traded Gagne back to the Flyers for a conditional fourth-round draft pick.
Kings GM Dean Lombardi, who has roots with the Flyers himself, traded the underutilized Gagne after he appeared in only 11 games of the 2012-13 season.
"This is a good player that I've known a long time, and I know that if he would have wanted to go anywhere, that would be the place he wanted to go," Lombardi explained. "Given that we had to do this, if we can, I would certainly put him someplace I know he'd be happy."
Gagne would wrap up the 2012-13 season with the Flyers with five goals and six assists, including a goal in his first game back with the old orange and black.
"A highlight video of Gagne's first stint with the Flyers was shown during the first period, officially welcoming the popular forward back to Philadelphia, where he spent his first 10 NHL seasons before being traded to Tampa Bay in 2010.
"He seemed unaware of the video, at first, but then acknowledged the cheering crowd with a half-wave. Gagne received a louder ovation when he took a pass from Brayden Schenn feed and slammed a shot past Holtby for a 3-0 lead." — nj.com
Gagne's second tour of duty for the Flyers didn't last as long as his first, and it ultimately ended worse than his first departure. After Gagne expressed a serious interest in returning for the 2013-14 season with the Flyers, GM Paul Holmgren apparently told the veteran forward to "hold tight." Gagne was never brought back, and has been out of hockey since his recent invite to the Boston Bruins' training camp this year.
"We're always signing old, ex-Flyers! Bring up the kids!"
"Oh, look… Gagne's gonna be a Bruin…"
— Mikey D, O&BP 🤙🏼🏴☠ (@MikeyD_OandBP) August 15, 2014
"I had my meeting with [general manager] Paul Holmgren before the free-agent market opened and he told me to hang tight," recalled Gagne. "I thought I was going to be with the Flyers. That didn't work the way it was supposed to. I made the mistake of telling team employees the Flyers were the only team I wanted to play for this season. I got caught up."
Even if Gagne ends up making the Bruins squad this season, it's only fitting that when his time to retire does come, that it's done as a Flyer.

2. Bernie Parent
In the beginning, there was Bernie Parent. The only Flyers starting goalie to lift a Stanley Cup appeared in 38 games in Philadelphia's inaugural season, posting a 16-17-5 record as a second-year netminder in the league. His struggles would continue, as the 20-win benchmark eluded the young goaltender.
"…Originally drafted by the Boston Bruins, he was selected by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 1967 expansion draft. He struggled at times during the early years of his career and found himself sent to the Toronto Maple Leafs in a trade during the 1970-71 season. The trade proved to be a blessing though, as Parent backed up another legendary goaltender, Jacques Plante." — Andrew Rodger, XHockey
Parent's return to Philadelphia in 1973 may not have garnered as much fanfare as that of Simon Gagne or Mark Recchi, but the Montreal native would end up achieving what neither of the mentioned ever did in Philadelphia. It's because of Parent's back-to-back Stanley Cup championships that the events following his return trumped the news of it.
"In 1974, the Flyers won the Stanley Cup, Parent pitching a shutout in the final game. In 1975, the Flyers won the Stanley Cup, Parent pitching a shutout in the final game.
"In the 40 years since, no Philadelphia athlete, active or retired, has enjoyed more popularity." — Jack McCaffery, Daily Times
The five-time All Star ended up finishing his career with the Flyers, posting winning records in the six seasons since being traded back from Toronto. After the 1978-79 season, Parent retired with a pair of Stanley Cup championships, two Conn Smythe Trophies, and a couple Vezina Trophies to add to his legendary fame.
The Hall of Famer remained with the organization that brought him back in 1973, serving as a goaltending coach, in which he tutored both Pelle Lindbergh and Ron Hextall to Vezina Trophies respectively.
The secret to being happy is accepting where you are in life and making the most out of every day. http://t.co/xIIifJs3rB
— ICU Investigations Inc (@ICUinc_PI) March 20, 2014
And although Parent is now away from a formal coaching position, his influence is still mightily heavy. In February of last season, Flyers goalie Steve Mason was growing frustrated with the team's struggles. A chat with Bernie, however, resulted in a quick turnaround that brought about the Steve Mason that earned the starting job in the first place.
"It was just a really enlightening conversation with a great goaltender in his prime and my goaltender coach as well," said Mason.
At 69, Parent is still front and center in Philadelphia, consistently contributing to philly.com. And although his two seasons away from Philadelphia seem minuscule in comparison of others mentioned, the life and career of Bernie Parent automatically make his return a celebratory event.
1. Ron Hextall
As if Ron Hextall needed any introduction. The first goalie to score a goal in both Flyers history, and NHL post-season play, now serves as the current GM of the Flyers. And when it comes to Philadelphia, there's something in the water that keeps the 50-year-old coming back. How else do you explain the four-time 30 game-winner's third return to Philly?
"Obviously I'm excited about it," said Hextall after being named Flyers assistant GM in 2013. "Quite frankly, it came together in a very short period of time here. I had a brief conversation with Homer at the draft and then it just kind of steamrolled toward the resolution that happened today. It's obviously a little bittersweet for me, I had a great time in L.A. … In this decision, I'm sure you guys were going to ask what it was all about. I don't have anything earth shattering except to say it was a gut feeling.
"There were a lot of little things," he added, "… but in the end, I'm following my gut here to what I think is the right move."
I always thought it was strange Ron Hextall wasn't working for the Flyers. Nice to see he's back in Philly as assistant GM.
— Brian Costello (@bcostellothn) July 15, 2013
But before Hextall was dubbed hockey's next "can't miss," executive wise, he lamented a legacy between the pipes in Philly. It was for the Flyers that Hextall began his career with, and it was the Flyers he ended his (playing) career with. Over the course of 11 seasons in orange and black, Hextall created a legacy that is sure to stand long after he leaves hockey.
When Hextall left the crease for good in 1998, he left behind a legacy littered with records, accomplishments, and reputation. To this day, the current Flyers GM holds the NHL record for most penalty minutes by a goalie in a single-season (113), and holds five Flyers all-time records. With an all-time great in Bernie Parent before him, Hextall's 240 career wins for Philadelphia, as well as his 45 playoff wins leaves him in exclusive company. And that's before delving into his offensive prowess.
"He spent the majority of his playing career with the Flyers and is, to this day, one of the best goalies the team has ever had. His return to the organization is the only excuse that we needed to remember his wild playing days (that, and it's the middle of July and it's a fun thing to do).
"Hextall won the 1987 Vezina Trophy and added the '87 Conn Smythe though the Flyers lost the Stanley Cup Final to Edmonton in seven games. Along with his ability to stop a lot of shots, he brought an incredible level of physicality to the position and rewrote the record book when it comes to goalies and the penalty box. In each of his first three seasons in the NHL, he tallied at least 100 penalty minutes. Hextall was suspended multiple times over the course of his career and still holds the career record for most penalty minutes by a goalie with 584. There's nobody else even close." — Adam Gretz, CBS Sports
Hextall's Conn Smythe Trophy made him only the fourth player to win the award while playing for a losing team in the playoffs at the time. Jean-Sebastien Giguere has since been the fifth as of 2003. Furthermore, Hextall wasn't even the first Flyer to accomplish the unwanted feat. Reggie Leach holds that accolade, winning the Conn Smythe in 1976.
4 goalies won Conn Smythe as member of losing team in SCF. Crozier(DET) '66, Hall(STL) '68, Hextall(PH) '87, Giguere(ANA) '03. Just sayin.
— Mike Morreale (@mikemorrealeNHL) June 14, 2014
But that's neither here nor there. After all, Hextall established an identity predicated on toughness and attitude. He was also quite the stick handler, holding the Flyers' all-time record of points scored by a goaltender with 28.
Hextall's growing legend in his first stint with the Flyers mattered little, however, when the team was neck-deep in the Eric Lindros sweepstakes. Hextall, who publicly let his disapproval of a trade be known was ultimately shipped to Quebec, where he'd spend only one, notwithstanding successful, season with the Nordiques.
"For Lindros, the Nordiques got goaltender Ron Hextall, defensemen Steve Duchesne and Kerry Huffman, centers Mike Ricci and Peter Forsberg, a 1993 first-round draft pick, future considerations and $15 million.
"Initially, Hextall and Ricci were contemplating not reporting to the Nordiques but seem to have reconsidered." — Lisa Dillman, Los Angeles Times
The following year, Hextall found himself in Long Island, the current landing spot of former Flyer, and current Islanders GM Garth Snow. Thanks to the NHL's expansion, adding the Florida Panthers and the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, Hextall was part of a deal that sent Mark Fitzpatrick to Quebec. But Hextall's impending return to Philadelphia wasn't quite complete.
"Ron is OK with this trade," said Hextall's agent, Steve Mountain back in 1993. "He likes the East Coast, and the Isles are a good, young team."
Hextall's return to his familiar conference didn't quite turn out the way former Islanders GM Don Maloney had envisioned, though. In 65 games for the Isles, Hextall posted a pedestrian 27-26-6-5 mark, which was mirrored by a disappointing .898 save percentage.
In September of the following year, fans cheered at the Spectrum upon hearing the news that Ron Hextall was coming home to Philadelphia.
"When the trade information was displayed on the video screens at the Spectrum last night during the Flyers' 2-1 loss to Quebec, the news was greeted by a resounding cheer." — Bob Ford, philly.com
After being waived following the 1998-99 season, Hextall retired and immediately joined the Flyers front office. But in 2006, Hextall left yet again. This time to join the Los Angeles Kings to become Dean Lombardi's assistant GM.
"We didn't want to lose Hexy, but I think it's a move in the right direction in his career," said former Flyers GM, Bobby Clarke. "He was very important to us, but he was also in our organization behind [assistant general manager] Paul Holmgren."
"I think it's good for his career," added Clarke. "He came to us and wanted to try for the assistant position in Los Angeles, we gave him permission and Dean Lombardi hired him. We wish him the best. He was a good man for us and we hate to lose him, but if it's best for his family and his life then I think he's got to do it."
Although Hextall went on to win a Stanley Cup with a group of former Flyers in 2012 with the Kings, he inevitably returned. The rest is… well you know… history, history in the making, or something along those lines.

Sony Computer Entertainment America has been hit with a lawsuit alleging "deceptive marketing" of Killzone: Shadow Fall because the PlayStation 4 game's multiplayer mode does not run at the resolution advertised.
The suit, filed by California resident Douglas Ladore in Northern District California court, alleges that Sony advertised Killzone: Shadow Fall would run at native 1080p resolution but "used a technological shortcut that was supposed to provide 'subjectively similar' results."
In March, Eurogamer's Digital Foundry analyzed Shadow Fall's graphics and reported that the PS4 game's multiplayer component runs at 960 by 1080 resolution — as opposed to 1920 by 1080, or 1080p resolution — with a "high-quality temporal upscale."
The lawsuit alleges that Sony advertised — through videos, its official website, social media and Killzone's retail packaging — would offer 1080p graphics. "Unfortunately, Sony's marketing and on-box representations turned out to be nothing more than fiction," the lawsuit says.
In the wake of Digital Foundry's report, Killzone developer Guerrilla Games took to its official website to explain its technical solution for Shadow Fall's multiplayer graphics.
"In both [single-player] and [multiplayer], Killzone: Shadow Fall outputs a full, unscaled 1080p image at up to 60 [frames per second]," producer Poria Torkan wrote. "Native is often used to indicate images that are not scaled; it is native by that definition.
"In Multiplayer mode, however, we use a technique called 'temporal reprojection,' which combines pixels and motion vectors from multiple lower-resolution frames to reconstruct a full 1080p image. If native means that every part of the pipeline is 1080p then this technique is not native."
Torkan went on to explain how temporal reprojection works.
"When up-scaling an image from one resolution to another, new pixels are added by stretching the image in X/Y dimension," he said. "The values of the new pixels are picked to lie in between the current values of the pixels. This gives a bigger, but slightly blurrier picture.
"Temporal reprojection is a technique that tracks the position of pixels over time and predicts where they will be in future. These 'history pixels' are combined with freshly rendered pixels to form a higher-resolution new frame."
The lawsuit alleges that "'temporal reprojection' is not the 'native 1080p' that Sony promised" and that Sony has not updated its packaging and marketing to reflect the game's actual resolution. Class allegations in the suit include negligent misrepresentation, false advertisement, unfair competition and fraud in the inducement. The amount sought in the suit exceeds $5,000,000.
The suit was filed by law firm Edelson PC, which hit Sony and publisher Electronic Arts with a class action suit in 2011. Attorneys for the firm, then known as Edelson McGuire, filed a putative nationwide class action lawsuit after Sony and EA promised a free copy of Battlefield 1943 to PS3 owners who purchased Battlefield 3, then failed to deliver the extra game. The firm is also behind the class action suit against Sega and Gearbox that alleges the two companies falsely advertised Aliens: Colonial Marines.
Polygon has reached out to SCEA seeking comment on the suit.

Negative feedback is often referred to as shunt feedback and here in this application we will use it in conjunction with emitter degeneration.
How is this accomplished? Quite easy! Shunt feedback is accomplished by adding one resistor and a capacitor between collector and base of our transistor. For this exercise I'm going to go to an r.f. application and replace resistor R4 with a choke, it could easily be a transformer. Look at Figure 1 below.
Let's look at the choke RFC. What does it achieve for us?. Any inductor resists or opposes a change in current flowing in it. This has the effect of dumping any r.f. voltage through the C3 coupling capacitor.
What if we replace the RFC with a tuned circuit?. What benefits will accrue to us?.
we would introduce a measure of selectivity.
higher gain becomes possible
higher output power also becomes possible
Now let us review some our lessons from LC filters by examining a fairly basic LC resonant circuit as the load in place of our RFC.
Now here in figure 2 is a bog standard LC resonant circuit which comprises an inductor and a capacitor. You will note there has been a link coupling wound on the inductor.
Firstly the inductor could be of a fixed value such as one wound on a toroid or it could be a variable type similar to the ones found in receivers and used as IF transformers. Secondly the capacitor could be a fixed standard value one (e.g. 100 pF) or it could be a fixed standard value with an additional parallel capacitance in the form of a trimmer capacitor.
Either way we would have one variable element (inductor or capacitor) which allows us to tune to the frequency we want. Figure 2 uses a fixed capacitor with a parallel trimmer.
Here we are only mainly concerned here with the principle of a tuned circuit as a load. In this example we have a final load of 50 ohms connected to the output link coupling of our tuned circuit. Assume, just for discussion purposes, that in this example we needed a power output of 100 milliwatt from the amplifier and that we have available a power supply of 12V. Further,
2 * Po = [Vcc - Ve]2 / R
or [2* 0.1] = [12 - 3.22]2 / R
or [2* 0.1] = [ 8.78 ]2 / R
and R = 77 / 0.2
= 385 ohms
Therefore the load presented to the output of our amplifier needs to be 385 ohms. The impedance ratio is 385 / 50 or 7.7:1 and the turns ratio on the transformer (inductor) is the square root of that number or 2.775:1.
Again for discussion let us say we are designing this resonant circuit to work in the 40 metre amateur radio band. If you have done the LC filter tutorial you would certainly know that the LC at 7.2 Mhz is about 490.
Now contrary to popular belief you will NOT get terribly impressive results from a single resonator circuit. That is really not the purpose of our resonator here. It's purpose is one of impedance transfer. We could just as easily used a low pass filter or even a high pass filter to achieve the same effect.
Let us choose an arbitrary inductance by selecting a suitable toroid core for the frequency. An Amidon T50-2 is a very such core. It has an AL factor of 49.
Assume for convenience that we wind 28 turns of #22 wire on this toroid. This many turns will occupy the entire winding area. What inductance results?
L = 3.84 uH
With such an inductor at 7.2 Mhz where we have said the LC is 490 we would need a total capacitance of about 128 pF to resonate with it. This would be provided by a fixed value of say 120 pf together with perhaps a 20 pF trimmer as depicted in figure 6. The inductor needed 28 turns primary and the turns ratio was 2.775:1 so our secondary turns to connect up to a 50 ohm load must be 10 turns. Before you go any further just review all that again.
Next we will have to check if our class A amplifier is going to remain linear and also prove our resonator circuit is no where near as flash as you might first think. More important, this particular design has potential deep flaws in it.
Above while calculating the load resistance for 100 milliwatt of power output I told you:
2 * Po = [Vcc - Ve]2 / RL
= 385 ohms
What I didn't tell you, but some advanced students might have worked out, the amplifier signal voltage could follow this excursion:-
on negative peaks down to zero before going into saturation and on positive peaks to 12V + 8.78V = 20.78V.
Obviously the only linear portion is plus and minus the potential swing of 8.78V or 17.56V Pk to Pk. To be able to do this our current must fluctuate from zero to twice our Idc value of 0.7 mA.
By using ohms law our load resistance, RL
RL = E pk / Idc
= 12543 ohms
All right what has gone wrong? Let's re-work that equation to get the Idc we should have:
Idc = Vpk / RL
= 8.78 / 385
22.3 mA
Clearly I should have gone about this design another way. What I should do is make a list in the correct order of procedures or steps and calculate my components from those steps.
And if you think basic high school maths was a waste of time well check this out. There are no short cuts in life.
Now here's what you gets for your money in figure 3
Another aspect which must be looked at most carefully is heatsinking. Our little 2N2222A is copping a lot of current and would require a decent heatsink. Actually I would consider using a T05 type transistor such as a 2N3866.
We do not have to use the above output LC circuit all the time because it's performance leaves much to be desired. Why?
We have an inductor of 3.84 uH used at 7.2 Mhz. It's inductive reactance is (2 * pi * 7.2 * 3.84) = 174 ohms. It would have an unloaded Q of about 160 i.e. Rp = QU * XL = 160 * 174 = 27840 ohms. This figure is the unloaded impedance. But we are connecting up to a 50 ohm load and are going to extract power from our little amplifier.
Now we have designed for a RL of 469 ohms which appears in parallel with the Rp of 27840. After calculation, [ Rp * RL ] / [ Rp + RL ], you should get a net load of 461 ohms. Our gain is now really 461 / Re or 461 / 56 = 8.2 BUT the loaded Q, QL is RL / XL or in this case QL = 461 / 174 = 2.65.
Alert students who have done and remembered the LC Filter Tutorial will know that our loaded bandwidth is Bw = Fo / QL or here it's 7200 Khz / 2.65 = 2716 Khz or 2.7 Mhz WIDE. In short it sux!.
What to do?. Well you can always go back and re-arrange all your design formula so you eventually get a better result. You could for example, connect the collector to a tap on the primary of the inductor, say about 9 turns up from the bottom of the schematic and reduce the secondary turns down to 3 turns. What effect does this have?.
The ultimate load is still 50 ohms. The unloaded Q and inductive reactance remain unaltered so Rp is still 27840. What would change is this. Firstly the primary:secondary turns ratio is now 28:3 which when squared transforms the primary impedance up to:
[ 28 / 3 ]2 * 50 = 4355 ohms
which again is in parallel with Rp of 27840 making a net RL of 3766 ohms.
QL is RL / XL
which is:
3766 / 174 = 21.64
a profound change is it not?. Therefore Bw = Fo / QL or here it's 7200 Khz / 21.64 = 332 Khz which is a more respectable figure. Of course you always believed you were going to get a narrow and razor sharp filter didn't you?.
Hey what sort of load does the transistor see?
Well a 28 turn primary which we just established has an impedance of 3766 ohms and the collector is tapped 9 turns from the bottom so it's as before 28:9 or
RL of 3766 ohms / [ 28 / 9 ]2 = 389 ohms
and gain is now 389 / 56 = 6.94 or nearly a quite respectable 17 dB voltage gain (ignoring any losses in the LC filter). That's about as thrilling as it gets.
Yes folks the output circuit could well have been a low pass LC filter designed to transform a desired RL of say 400 ohms to 50 ohms. The circuit would have looked like this.
Rfc is not critical, it just resists rf getting into supply line, any thing with a reactance of about 20,000 ohms will do. Just ensure it can safely carry the necessary current. XC1, XC2 and XL are components calculated per low pass filter design. XL should be made variable (that's what the red line indicates).
When the output is terminated into an appropriate load and then monitored on a scope, the output change is quite profound whilst varying XL to proper resonance.
I've added two more resistors in, one in the collector to aid stability and one more in the supply line.
broad band amplifiers
buffer amplifiers
small signal amplifiers
low pass filters

The Walking Dead is now returning from its mid-season break but season 9 still isn't available on Netflix just yet. Here's when we're going to be seeing season 9 of The Walking Dead arrive on Netflix in the United States.
The Walking Dead continues to be a big hit for AMC despite many fans turning on it in past years. It still attracts big audiences but is no longer the only zombie show in town. It's also spawned a spin-off show called Fear The Walking Dead which, sadly, isn't available on Netflix.
The ninth season of the show represents the biggest and most radical season yet (or it should) as some of the show's biggest stars are set to depart by the time the finale airs in 2019. Andrew Lincoln and Lauren Cohen who play Rick and Maggie respectively are both leaving the show this season. We've also learned that Danai Gurira who plays Michonne is also now scheduled to depart from the show. Despite this, it would seem that Season 10 is definitely still going to be going ahead.
This season also has a big shake-up with the story too with (spoilers for season 8) the war now over with the saviors and Negan neutered.
The Walking Dead Season 9 Netflix Release Date
Note: this only applies to Netflix US and Canada – other regions may vary
As we said above, season 9 will definitely be coming to Netflix in line with the previous eight seasons which have landed on a regular schedule. AMC shows coming to Netflix are a rarity now with only three shows from the network due to come to Netflix in 2019.
Season 8 was added on September 24th, and it has now been confirmed that season 9 of The Walking Dead will be arriving on Netflix in the United States and Canada on September 1st, 2019.
The reason AMC adds the show so late to Netflix is, in part, to help with promoting and catching fans up for the new seasons which often then starts airing in late September/early October.
Will The Walking Dead leave Netflix?
It's always been a fear for many that The Walking Dead may one day leave Netflix. After all, we've seen a significant shift in the past few years with Netflix focusing on their originals as third parties take their titles away.
As we've explained before, however, Netflix has an existing legacy contract with AMC for TWD. That means all past and future seasons will be on Netflix until the show ends. With that said, AMC could buy out its way of said contract but that doesn't look likely.
What about other Netflix regions?
Netflix Canada and Japan will also be the recipient of season 9 and will be arriving roughly the same time as the US, September 2019. Some European countries and Latin America will also be a recipient but those dates are harder to predict. Season 9 should be available by the end of the year or in early 2020.
Are you looking forward to catching the new season of The Walking Dead on Netflix? Will you be watching live or will you wait for it to drop on Netflix? Let us know in the comments.

Coolest Cars For Sale On Motorious In The Middle Of June
⚡ Read the full article on Motorious
These are some of the most interesting cars in our inventory, available to buy right now!
What a diverse market the collector car industry represents. Every week, the Motorious editorial staff does a dive into the classified section of the site to find the cars for sale that we would want to buy for ourselves. These cars are more than worthy of a new garage, and we're thrilled to be able to share our picks with the readers each week. Here is a list of cars to check out as we roll into the first during the middle of June.
1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS Convertible Is A Restored Gem
The first-gen Camaro is an icon among classic car collectors in just about all forms, but cars equipped with the RS and SS packages always seem to be a litter more coveted. For a perfect example of this, just check out the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS Convertible that is currently up for sale through Corvette Mike Midwest.
Numbers-Matching 1969 Plymouth GTX Looks Fantastic
Whether you're looking for a great way to start your classic Mopar collection or want to beef up an already impressive garage, this '69 Plymouth GTXis a good option to consider. This highly presentable muscle car is a numbers-matching example, something which is becoming more difficult to find these days. That alone adds considerably to its collectability both now and in the future.
Vengeance Racing Upgrades Boost This 2018 Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE
Even in stock form, a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is a serious muscle car, with some arguing it's more of a supercar. That second point might be debatable, but there's no arguing that this particular ZL1 modified by Vengeance Racing is something to be respected. With more than 860-horsepower on tap, it should be obvious this Chevy should really only be driven by those with plenty of experience using high-powered, rear-wheel-drive cars.
1937 Cord 812 Is Artwork In Motion
When it comes to the best designed automobiles, pre-war cars are always at the top of the conversation, and the Cord 810/812 lineup is an excellent example. Although this car was only offered for two model years (as the 1936 810 and 1937 812), it was at the cutting edge of vehicle design, and this gorgeous 1937 Cord 812 would make the perfect addition to an elegant collection as it is currently up for grabs through the Classic Car Club of America's Full Classics Online Auction.
Paint The Town Red In A Restored 1966 Pontiac GTO
As car enthusiasts, there are certain cars that will stop us dead in our tracks due to its sheer beauty along with admiration of the amount of blood, sweat, and tears that were endured on one piece of rolling art. This meticulously restored 1966 Pontiac GTO is one of those cars.
Set The Pace With This Indy 500 C5 Corvette
The Chevrolet brand and Pace Car program are a natural fit - especially when talking about Corvettes. Chevy's sports car has filled the Pace Car position more times than any other make/model in the program's history, will no fewer than 15 notices under its belt. This particular example, a 1998 Corvette Indy Pace Car convertible is a pristine celebration of the program, and one of the Special Edition production models Chevy released to the public.
Elvis Presley's 1967 GMC C10 Ranch Truck Up For Grabs
Elvis Presley had a vast collection of cars, trucks and motorcycles, but one of the lesser known vehicles formerly owned by The King is a trio of 1967 GMC C10 pickup trucks used on his Circle G Ranch. This truck will be up for grabs during the upcoming GAA Classic Cars auction in July, and it will certainly be one of the most high-profile lots.
Here's Your Shot At A 2020 Chevrolet Corvette
There's no denying that the all-new C8 Corvette will likely be the hottest car to arrive in 2020 (and probably one of the most collectible), and if you want to own one of these first-year sports cars, this 2020 Chevrolet Corvette being sold through Classic Cars of Sarasota might be your best shot. This Corvette rolled off the Bowling Green, Kentucky assembly line back in January, and now it's ready to roll into your garage!

Did you have any doubts about SimCity's forced always-online requirement? Well, Maxis' Senior Vice President Lucy Bradshaw has some things to say about that.
In an interview with Videogamer, Bradshaw defended the contested necessity of the forced multiplayer, and explained how Maxis was planning to make it as painless as possible for players -- unlike Diablo 3's much-documented troubles.
"In the past Sim Cities were these kind of isolated little islands, they had their own closed economies," Bradshaw said. "What we wanted to do was put you, in a sense, where you had kind of motivation and purpose and context."
I can kind of understand that. I'm a big fan of realism in games, and what's more realistic than trying to play something like SimCity alongside a jerk friend whose inability to manage his city is going to affect your economy? It's certainly not convenient, but that's what I dig in games, so bring it on, jerk friend. Still, how is this always-on requirement going to mess us up? Have Maxis been taking careful notes on all the mental breakdowns we experienced during Diablo 3's rocky launch?
"Like I say, the asynchronous multiplayer aspect to what we're doing allows us to be very graceful in how we address any kind of hitches. We also take very seriously games as a service," Bradshaw explains.
"With something like SimCity it's just so compelling a kind of addition to the game to put you in a context that we've decided that multiplayer is a very important feature for this one."
This is the sort of thing Blizzard claimed to believe in as well -- but the number of times we've had to deal with Error 37 might suggest otherwise. Obviously, no developer wants their game off to a disastrous start -- but do you think that Maxis will be able to pull this off better than Blizzard have? How do you feel about its necessary online requirement?

and discover all this peaceful and democratic country has to offer. Zambia has a rich fauna and flora, impressive cultural heritage, magnificent rivers and waterfalls, as well as The Big Five.
Thinking of travelling to Zambia? Then here is some information to help you plan your trip.
International irlines fly direct into Livingstone are British Airways, Emirates, Kenyan Airways, South African Airways, and the budget airline 1Time. KLM, Kenyan Airways, Ethiopian Airways and Emirates fly in to Lusaka. Within Zambia Proflight operate domestic flights between the major cities, Lusaka, Livingstone, Ndola, Chipata and Mfuwe as well as small flights into the National Parks. For the extravagant traveller the option to fly by helicopter from Lusaka to Livingstone (6 hours by road) would be a unique experience!
Road Transport
There are many tour operators based in Livingstone that can arrange private road transportation in the form of transfers in and around Zambia. For the more adventurous traveller the option to hire your own off road vehicle to traverse Zambia's National Parks or simply a rental car is also available in Livingstone. Please note that Zambia is a vast country without a great road system outside of the main access routes; ensure you plan your time on the road wisely! Travelling at night is never a good idea in Africa due to bad or no road lighting and markings as well as wild and domestic animals venturing onto the roads – all being very common cause of accidents. Budget travellers can make their way to Livingstone on a variety of local and international buses (some more reliable than others!) as well as participating in a huge variety of organised "overland safaris" covering the length and breadth of the African continent.
Visa Requirements
Many visitors to Zambia require visas. For some foreign nationals, these can be obtained at the point of entry into Zambia, however other foreign nationals need to apply for visas from within their own country of residence before commencing their journey. It is therefore important that you at the point of entry, but you must check with your closest Zambian High Commission or Zambia Embassy in your country of residence to find out the current visa requirements. If a pre-arranged visa from your country of residence is required, this can take a long time to process.
Single entry tourist visas are suitable for visitors not planning to visit neighbouring countries whilst in Zambia - for example joining a Day Trip to Chobe National Park in Botswana. These are available on arrival, depending on nationality. Double-entry tourist visas are ideal for visitors planning a side trip to neighbouring countries. These can be obtained at the port of entry, subject to nationality. Multiple Entry Visa: This last up to 90 days and is the perfect solution for travellers wanting to use Livingstone as their base but travel in and out of Zambia several times during their itinerary. THIS IS ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH A ZAMBIAN EMBASSY and take time to organise.
There is also the new KAZA Visa, which allows visitors to the region to travel in and out of both Zimbabwe and Zambia. These can be purchased at the border.
Zambia is a malarial area and it is important that you visit your doctor in your country of residence and obtain a prescription for anti- malaria prophylatics and check whether there are any other innoculations recommended for travel within Zambia. Wear long trousers and long-sleeved shirts in the evenings and use anti-mosquito spray. The use of mosquito nets is advised, especially during our summer months and the rainy season. Please also note that at the time of writing, South Africa is requiring that all transit passengers from Zambia have a valid Yellow Fever Certificate even if in transit between international flights, and even though Zambia is not regarded by the World Health Organisation as being within the Yellow Fever zone. Zambia lies in the tropics and it is important that you use high factor sunscreen as the sun is overhead for much of the year. Please make sure that you have adequate travel insurance to cover you throughout your trip.
Zambia is a safe and peaceful country to travel through, but always check with your embassy before departure for current updates on Travel Advice. Driving at night is not recommended due to the condition of some of the roads and wild animals. Always respect local customs and avoid being caught up in demonstrations or involved in politics.
Credit Cards and Cash
VISA credit and debit cards are accepted everywhere, but please note that at the time of writing there is only one ATM in Livingstone which accepts MasterCard. Travellers Cheques are not easy to cash in Livingstone unless you have a local bank account. USD are accepted in many lodges and hotels, but it is better if you have small denomination notes. There are many bureax de change where you can change your money, but beware of illegal money changers on the pavements. It is illegal to change money on the streets and often the notes are fake.
Travel Documentation
Certified copies of passports, insurance certificates & personal documentation should be stored separately from the originals.

Hollywood is buzzing about Nikole Beckwith's "Stockholm, Pennsylvania," a movie script with eerie parallels to the story of three Cleveland women who were held captive for 10 years and reunited with their families this week.
The script, which was already a hot property as a finalist for the Motion Picture Academy's 2012 Nicholl Fellowship and voted to the 2012 Black List, "Stockholm, Pennsylvania" is based on Beckwith's stage play of the same name.
The script, which she is also attached to direct, concerns a young kidnapping victim who after 19 years, is reunited with the family she barely remembers. Longing for the life she remembers and the man who made her who she is, she struggles to feel "at home," forcing her mother to work harder than ever to "find" her daughter.

The shocking events of this week in Cleveland have given the project even more urgency in Hollywood. Even before that, producers were lining up financing in advance of a fall shoot.
Greg Ammon of Uneac Films will produce with Beckwith's manager Dan Halsted of Manage-Ment.
Several Hollywood executives who attended the Little Black Book event at the Thompson Hotel were buzzing about the project on Wednesday night.

Earlier on Thursday, Beckwith was one of five writers accepted into the Sundance Institute's coveted 2013 Screenwriters Lab, which takes place from June 22-27. She'll workshop "Stockholm, Pennsylvania" with industry professionals including author/screenwriter Walter Mosley.
On Tuesday, police discovered three missing women — Amanda Berry, Michele Knight and Gina DeJesus — in the same Cleveland home. Ariel Castro, a 52 year-old former school bus driver, was arrested with his two brothers who did not live in the home with him. The victims' rescue is credited to Charles Ramsey, a neighbor who helped free Berry before she called police and alerted them to the other women being held captive.
Beckwith's plays have been developed with the Public Theater, Playwrights Horizons and the National Theatre of London, among others. She is represented by ICM Partners and Manage-Ment.

When the new year rolls around, many people turn their attention to improving their health and make resolutions to try out a new diet or join a gym. Choices like these are great for personal well-being, and they have the added benefit of improving your sex life. If you're a gay man, you may have some additional health needs to stay on top of in 2018 – but isn't having your hottest year yet worth the extra effort? Here are five resolutions that can help you stay healthy and virile next year:
1)If you are having any trouble getting or keeping an erection, consider getting some of those "magic pills" that increase blood circulation, such as Viagra and Cialis. Before taking any erectile dysfunction drugs, however, you should consult your doctor and discuss potential complications with other medications you're taking. ED drugs are dangerous for patients who are taking nitroglycerine for coronary artery disease. ED pills also don't mix well with some "recreational drugs." Certain HIV medications can increase both the effectiveness of ED pills and their potential side effects, so the smallest possible dose of ED drugs must be used to balance safety with performance.
2) Practice safe sex and protect yourself against AIDS. Knowing that your partner has passed an HIV test is not always enough, as the virus can be transmitted before it shows up in a test. The deadly virus can find its way into your bloodstream through any minor break or crack, either in your skin or in the mucous membranes lining any body cavity. When in doubt, heed the usual advice about using condoms or avoiding intercourse. Condoms may cramp your style, and, yes, sex feels a lot better without them – but your life is at stake. You can love sex even with latex. You just have to do it with discernment, caution, and care.
3)One issue that is blind to sexual orientation is prostate cancer, the second-leading cause of death in men in America. More than 200,000 cases are detected each year in the US alone. The best way to beat prostate cancer is with an early diagnosis, and the key to early diagnosis is a yearly digital rectal examination by a qualified examiner, a PSA (prostate-specific androgen) blood test, and an ultrasonic-guided prostate biopsy, if needed. Published data has shown that a PSA in conjunction with a digital rectal examination doubles the detection rate of early prostate cancer. Though bringing up cancer can feel scary, asking for a PSA screening is one of the best ways you can protect yourself from this threat.
4)Make the resolution to turn up the heat on your sex life – have as much safe sex as you can fit into your schedule. Frequent sexual activity is a sure way to increase your cardiovascular fitness, mental acuity, inner enthusiasm, and psychological tranquility. This is the time to be more innovative in the bedroom and more adventuresome with your partner. The greatest aphrodisiac is love itself. Be creative, be bold, be proactive, and care passionately about the needs of your partner, and the rewards will be endless.
5) A healthy diet and vigorous exercise program are essential for sexual fitness. Doctors recommend 30 minutes of aerobic exercises four or five times a week to maintain cardiovascular fitness. Avoid overeating, refrain from excessive drinking, and make sure you consume plenty of fiber. A diet high in fiber and protein but low in saturated fats and simple sugars is effective at both helping men maintain their prowess and preventing diseases such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, and prostate cancer.

Hydrocarbon Resins
Hydrocarbon resins are glass-like oligomers produced by polymerization of by-product streams, such as aliphatic (C5), aromatic (C9), DCPD (dicyclopentadiene), or mixtures of these, resulting mostly from the cracking of petroleum hydrocarbons for ethylene production. All hydrocarbon resins can be hydrogenated to improve color, odor, and stability as well as modifying compatibility.
Compared with Rosin based resins and Polyterpene based resins, the hydrocarbon resins have the benefits in high thermal stability, light color, polymer compatibility, low odor, direct food contact and excellent cold resistance.
Both Hydrocarbon resins and Natural resins, they have given the uncertainty and volatility existing in adhesives, inks and coatings markets. It is advisable to opt for both these sources of tackifiers and not completed depend on one.
Hydrogenated C5/C9
Foreverest© Hydrocarbon Resin Family, collecting the hydrogenated C5/C9, combined the benefits of Rosin based resins with Hydrocarbon resins, give a completed solution for industrial markets.
Compared with C5/C9, in HMA industry, the Hydrogenated C5/C9 acts to plasticize the polymer at elevated temperature. They usually have to be accomplished without significant negative effect on the cohesive strength of the polymer at ambient temperatures. Equally important for hot melts is the requirement that the thermal stability of the mixture is not impaired. in this respect, unhydrogenated C5/C9 are unsuitable for hot melts, and hydrogenated resins are the most suitable.
DCPD Resins
About 33% of the global DCPD production goes into the production of hydrocarbon resins. The key end-use sectors impacting DCPD demand include the tire and automotive industries, as well as the adhesives and construction sector. It is estimated that the supply of DCPD in China will be larger than the demand in the next few years. 93% of DCPD now is used to produce unsaturated polyester. The production of DCPD hydrogenated petroleum resins with high added value will be the focus for the development and use of DCPD in China.

1992 Ford Mustang Convertible - Guest Appearance
Dave Stinson's '92 Mustang Convertible Has Onlookers Saying, "Doh!"
Related Video
Turn on Fox at 8:00 p.m. on a Sunday, and for half an hour you'll be transported to the town of Springfield, where Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart, and Maggie Simpson will have you saying "Eat my shorts," "Dude," and "Doh" in no time. The show has been on the air since December 1987, racking up more than a few awards during the course of its 19-season, 404-episode lifespan.
While Dave Stinson isn't a Simpson, he does live in Springfield-Massachusetts, that is. And while his '92 GT may be just a few years younger than the popular animated sitcom, it makes everyone who looks at it say, "Dude, what a ride!"
What ended up a looker started out as a regular old beater. "I bought my Mustang with the original intent of it being my daily driver to replace a beaten-up '87 four-cylinder LX convertible," Dave says. "I was 18 at the time and had no interest in the car-enthusiast hobby whatsoever."
That soon changed. "I had made some good friends in the Mustang scene, and about a year later, I started modifying the car," Dave says. "Throughout the years, I got more and more into the scene and kicked the car up a notch every chance I got."
Dave started with the looks and under-pinnings of the Fox-body before contemplating adding power to the nimble Pony. He left the stock front upper and lower control arms on the car, but swapped in a set of Bilstein shocks that work in conjunction with the MAC progressive-rate lowering springs. Steeda bushings and a caster/camber kit from Maximum Motorsports made sure the alignment was spot on and the wheels pointed in the right direction. The 8.8-inch rear was beefed up with a set of axles from a '95 Cobra and the installation of a set of 3.73 cogs. The chassis was tied together with a set of custom full-length subframe connectors and the same Bilstein shock/MAC spring combo out back.
Dave then moved on to the outside of the car, where he threw a host of body components and a set of shiny shoes at it. The stock headlights and bumper were tossed for a set of Diamond clear lamps and a Cervini's Stalker front bumper. The factory hood was replaced with an ABC Exclusive 2½-inch Mach 1 model lid, while out back, the decklid received a Design Concepts Cobra-style wing, as well as the installation of a Cobra rear bumper and a pair of '93 Cobra taillights. Once the body components were on, Dave sprayed the sheetmetal with numerous layers of DuPont Vibrant Red paint, followed by an appropriate amount of clear. Rounding out the stunning good looks of the topless Stang were the chrome 17x8-inch Cobra rims. The front wheels were shod in Yokohama ES 100 rubbers, while the rears were wrapped with a pair of Goodyear Eagle hoops. Adding a bit more visual flavor was the custom fiberglass cowl cover.
With the foundation for big power laid down and the outside fascia built up, it was time for Dave to move into the interior and drivetrain areas of the Mustang. The factory chairs made way for a set of Cerullo XR seats fashioned in white vinyl. Dave then recovered the rear seats in white leather before installing a custom in-dash gauge pod whipped up by Al Lindgren of Speed and Sound (Memphis, Tennessee). Add in the count-less billet accessories and the custom door panels, floor mats, doorsills, and radio panel, and anyone can see the amount of love Dave put into his pride and joy. A thumping sound system showcases an aftermarket head unit and a trunk filled with a couple of subwoofers.
Dave was finally ready to tackle the chore of giving his Mustang more power. He kept the stock 5.0 in as-cast condition, leaving the crank, rods, and pistons in place. He lowered the compression ratio from the factory 9:1 to a blower-friendly 8.5:1, then added a set of Edelbrock's Performer aluminum heads featuring 1.90-inch intake and 1.60-inch exhaust valves. The stock camshaft runs the valvetrain geometry up the pushrods, through the lifters, and to a set of Ford Racing Performance Parts 1.6 roller rockers.
The powerful punch of this Pony comes in the form of a Vortech S-Trim centrifugal supercharger that blows in 12-14 pounds of boost through an Anderson Ford Motorsports Power Pipe. The air is funneled into the Professional Products Typhoon intake manifold via an SCT 90mm Big Air 2600 mass air meter and Accufab 70mm throttle body. The nastiness is piped out of the combustion chambers via a pair of BBK 1 5/8-inch shorty headers linked up to a BBK 2½-inch exhaust system showcasing a set of the company's high-flow cats and a pair of MAC mufflers.
The combustion process doesn't happen unless you have fuel and fire, so Dave made sure that both were adequate to cover the expected big power of the stock-displacement, small-block Ford. An SCT chip and tune, as well as some help from XX Tuning in Hartford, Connecticut, made sure that the tune for the pushrod powerplant would be spot on. A Crane Fireball ignition coil and a set of Taylor plug wires and Autolite plugs ensure the spark is present. As for the fuel side of things, a 255-lph fuel pump supplies the needed go-juice, which is regulated to 39 pounds of pressure with a Kirban fuel-pressure regulator. Spraying the flammable fuel into the runners of the intake manifold are a set of 42-pound injectors, courtesy of FRPP.
When it came time for the transmission, Dave knew an upgrade would be needed. "With the new tune and engine, the car was running like a beast," he says. "The transmission was another story, though. It was definitely not able to hang with the new combination anymore." He gave it some thought and decided his only two choices were to rip out the AOD that was in the Mustang and build it to bulletproof specs, or swap to a T5 stick. "I used to own a Thunderbird Super Coupe with a built AOD, which I absolutely loved to drive, so the auto bug was in me," he says. With that in mind, Dave decided to do something different, and that was to retrofit a 4R70W into the Fox-body.
Jay Broader of Broader Performance (Weathersford, Texas) handled the assembly of the 4R70W, which sports cryogenic internals, high-energy clutches, and a fully manual valvebody. Before the trans was installed, Dave threw in a 3,000-stall converter. He then tackled the 4R70W swap, which he said went fairly easy. "Aside from the custom wiring harnesses and the realization of new sensors being needed upon install, my Mustang club member Dan Hyland and I were able to perform the swap with relative ease," he says.
Of course, once the mechanical aspect of the convertible was completed, Dave polished and shined everything under and on the car to perfection before heading to the car shows around his home. His polishing efforts were so good, he offered his services to others on various Mustang Web sites, eventually branching out to sell stock-to-polished parts on eBay. Each time he cruises in the drop-top Stang, though, he's reminded of how much fun he has with this car-crafting hobby.
"I've never had this much enjoyment out of a car," Dave says. "It's still surprising how docile this car is. One second I can drive it like it's the stock AOD-equipped Mustang I started with, and the next moment I can blow the tires off and create a smoke show in Third gear."
He says the best part, though, is the looks his car gets each time he takes it for a spin. "It's a unique build, and the recognition it gets every-where is awesome. I can't take it down the street without people going crazy."
Bart Simpson better put some power to his skateboard. Dave Stinson's Mustang is liable to make him say "Doh!"

While she was only originally conceived as a limited-use supporting character for the Joker in 1992's "Batman the Animated Series," the minor super-villain Harley Quinn immediately broke out to massive popularity with the DC fandom. This however was hampered by criticism over her emotional dependency and loyalty to the Joker despite his propensity to abuse her in their relationship. The 2011 DC Comics re-launch saw Harleen Quinzel finally begin to shine as her own antiheroic character, later seeing her adaptation into the DCEU film franchise played by Margot Robbie. But while her latest film will not be until 2020, she is already hitting streaming market on a mature animated series.
IGN reports that DC Universe has got an official release date lined up for their "Harley Quinn" cartoon, and it was only appropriate that this was revealed this week at the 2019 New York Comic Con (NYCC). It should be recalled that NYCC 2018 was where the very first teaser of the show was revealed (that with its snide remark at the similar but un-realized "Deadpool" animated series). So without further ado, it can be said now that "Harley Quinn" on DC Universe will be coming out on November 29.
The announcement of the show's premiere on New York Comic Con this year was made by the executive producers, Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker. They were also accompanied by "Harley Quinn" co-writer and artist Amanda Conner (from the character's "New 52" iteration of DC's re-launch), who talked about how the DC Universe series, produced by Warner Bros. Animation, DC Entertainment and Yes, Norman Productions, drew inspiration from her comic book art style in how the characters were rendered in the upcoming cartoon, particularly Harley's "current" look of top and hot pants and multicolored dyed hair.
"Harley Quinn" on DC Universe stars the voice talent of Kaley Cuoco ("Big Bang Theory") as the titular character and Maiden of Mischief, along with an ensemble cast of both actors and animated DC voice veterans such as Giancarlo Esposito ("Better Call Saul") and Diedrich Bader ("Batman: The Brave and the Bold"). Aside from the NYCC 2018 teaser, there was also a longer trailer released during the 2019 San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) featuring more scenes from the show, set to Joan Jett covering the theme song for hit 1970s sitcom "The Mary Tyler Moore Show."
