It's been another busy year for ecommerce, with one of the key themes being the widespread adoption of responsive design.
But have retailers finally gotten to grips with mobile, or is there still much to be done? I lean towards the latter as, though some brands provide an excellent mobile experience, many are still woeful.
I've asked our ecommerce experts, agency and client-side, for their views...
What were the most significant trends in ecommerce this year?
James Gurd, Owner at Digital Juggler:
From an SEO point of view, there has been the usual merry-go-round of updates and changes in approach. Yes there are hacks/workarounds but none accurately replace the data we had before, so there is more emphasis on page-level optimisation now.
I think we'll see more landing page optimisation, focused on the overall UX and top line metrics like bounce rate/click through/visit-to-basket and visit-to-order. GA's move to universal analytics and introduction of its own Tag Manager is a big move and disruptive for other data management companies.
Google is sensibly using its position as the # analytics tool to pull people further in to its ecosystem. There will be a lot of time and effort spent in 2014 on realising the potential of universal analytics. I wish I could claim to understand exactly how it can and should be used but there are far smarter analytics people out there!
RTA is growing but still isn't being used to its full potential by many retailers. The more companies invest in data and analytics, the greater the potential to drive value through RTA.
Paul Rouke, Founder & Director of Optimisation at PRWD:
This year we saw some of our top ecommerce clients tackle their European ecommerce presence rather than focusing, and only investing in their UK experience.
We see this trend continuing as brands realise the impact of Conversion Rate Optimisation and importance of native customer insight has on increasing the revenue and market share in their next largest European territories.
The single most significant trend we've seen this year with our Ecommerce clients is the involvement and buy-in from the very top of the organisations we work with.
We've seen this across our CRO programmes, as budget holders invest where measurable ROI can be seen. And while the practice of refining a site using analytics, customer insight and statically sound testing is still a specialist area, it's giving many brands a real advantage over their competitors in increasingly competitive markets.
Have online retailers finally gotten to grips with mobile commerce?
Stuart McMillan, Deputy Head of Ecommerce at Schuh:
I think most online retailers have woken up to the fact that mobile is here to stay. However, I still hear people talking in a desktop frame of mind; we're as guilty as anyone at this. Whenever we look at mock-ups of new functionality I always see people looking at the desktop version first.
We (ecommerce professionals) spend our time sat at desks looking at websites, so it's difficult to make the mental shift. However, our customers already have and will continue to move in droves to a more mobile online existence.
I've spoken to a number of professionals who have expressed frustration with the challenges in making a responsive site work for mobile, the difficulties in down-scaling a desktop experience. I think we'll only have gotten to grips with mobile when we start thinking about mobile-first and asking about how we can up-scale it for desktop.
We're all going to have to get good at mobile commerce, if not, we'll wake up in Q3, there will be more customers browsing our sites on mobiles than on desktop PCs and we'll be making no money from them.
We'll be launching schuh responsive in the spring, we relaunched our outlet site as a responsive pilot a couple of weeks ago and we've already seen good conversion growth. I think we'll see some conversion growth on schuh when we relaunch but perhaps not as much, as it is a more mature offering.
Nick Whitmore, Managing Director at Whitmore Media Ltd :
The short answer is yes, but a lot of companies think because they have a responsive website or an app, that they've cracked it.
This couldn't be further from the truth. I think the eBay mobile website is very poor indeed, so is the app. If one of the biggest names in ecommerce can't get it right, the rest of the pack has very little chance!
James Gurd:
Yes and no. Some have made good moves with further investment in native apps and the alignment of the UX/UI patterns across devices but there are still many unoptimised mobile journeys.
From a pure design perspective, I think M&S has made a good start in aligning the desktop/mobile experience and the mobile site and app are consistent. I just wish it would stop throwing up annoying pop-up banners on the mobile site.
Pinterest was the first (I think) to use mobile site real estate to promote native apps – a clever little banner using device detection to promote the relevant OS version and prompt you to download, then if you have the app installed, message changes to encourage you to switch from mobile site to app. I've not seen any data to validate the impact.
Depesh Mandalia, Head of Digital at QualitySolicitors
In short, I don't think we as an industry have a right answer yet. Mobile site? App? Responsive? Other?
Context, product and demographic play a central role in defining the mobile strategy, yet with Google reporting threefold increases in tablet uptake to 30% and smartphone uptake doubling to 62% across the UK we're still yet to really see, in my opinion, the truth behind the mobile device.
Indeed you can now browse through your Smart TV, Google Glass, games consoles and soon your car. We've already heard of Smart Fridges gaining and losing momentum and other 'mobile' devices will continue to pop-up with the ability to interact with the ecommerce channel.
So quite short of getting to grips with mobile, I'm not so sure we can keep up with the pace of change.
I personally think that websites that don't have some form of mobile experience are missing out on the fundamentals however beyond that is really down to the individual companies to research with their customer and keep pace with digital trends to maximise profitability.
Comments (4)
When talking about responsive design, don't think you've cracked it just because your page scales to the device screen size. Sure, that's a big step forward for some, but your webshop is a store just like any bricks-and-mortar store and the objective should primarily be to make it easier for your customers to buy.
The "Add to basket" button just doesn't cut it on mobile devices, where you can't quickly review what's in your basket at any given moment, or you have to hit "Continue Shopping" every time you've put something in it; it's just not fit for purpose when shopping on an iPad for instance. There needs to be an emphasis on an improved user experience and a shortening of the time from inspiration to basket to improve the visit-to-basket/visit-to-order ratios.
Have a look at what can be achieved when you let your customers "swipe" goods into an ever-present basket on their tablet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhxcIyN05lQ
This is the kind of experience users expect these days, and it's live now in the UK.
It's really interesting to watch how the progress of mobile sites and mobile technology from a wide range of companies is being carried out. I think that 2014 will see more businesses incorporating mobile as part of their overall strategy, given how we are shopping these days.
Despite the adoption rate, there are still plenty of companies who need to work harder to get mobile right. It's the same with any form of technology though – you'll always have early adopters and those who utilise and move with the technology later on. Ultimately, companies need to market where consumers are. I think 2014 will bring some interesting trends for companies.
I really love this post. The information in this article is really unique and useful for me. After reading this article, I think I have some ideas for myself. I do follow your articles recently. Thanks for sharing this post. Hope to read more interesting information from you. Great job!
The mobile / responsive design front is a really interesting one because there is still this focus on replication rather than actually trying to understand what a customer actually wants to do on their phone.
A prime example here is travel companies trying to encourage a user to buy a £1,000+ holiday on their phone when actually all they want to be able to do is easily research and see everything about the holiday (pictures, reviews, details) on their screen. The problem being, these latter elements are largely missing.
I like the comment above about needing to design for mobile first but I think it's more than that - it's about how we design for environments and match the users expectations as closely as possible based on what they'll want to do on the device. I'm not saying don't let someone book on their mobile as our results show that some people do but making their initial interaction with the site as easy and intuitive as possible...

Coconut Bay, Burlingame: Bar has lounge feel
Bar Bites
The Coconut Bay empire is expanding. It now consists of two restaurants in downtown Burlingame - the original serving bargain Thai street food, and the new restaurant down the street offering more upscale dishes as well as a full-service bar.
The bar is separate from the dining area, so it has a lounge feel, with a patio; cozy, intimate seating areas; and, of course, the bar. Free appetizers are offered during happy hour, and you can order sublime snacks off the restaurant's extensive menu. Whether you're waiting for a table, watching the game or seeking some unusual, Thai-themed cocktails, the Coconut Bay bar is a lovely spot to chill.
The vibe: Relaxed but well dressed. This is a nice-looking restaurant in a well-heeled town, and no one wants to look shabby.
The crowd: Mostly locals. Some arrive after work to eat and unwind; others come to watch sporting events. Later in the evenings and on weekends, the crowd is younger and more vibrant.
Best seat: The comfortable rattan chairs on the patio. Bring your dog.
Killer app: Roti with curry ($7.50): crispy fried flatbread with a delectable coconut-based dipping sauce. The golden cups ($8.99) are a conversation starter - adorable little pouches filled with a chicken curry - and include enough to share.
Signature drink: The GTT ($6), with Thai tea, gin and lime - who'd have thought Thai iced tea and the G&T would create such a happy fusion? The lychee daiquiri ($7) is sweet, refreshing and fragrant.
Also on tap: Beer and an extensive wine list, including some very-high-priced bottles.
Bonus: Happy hour is every day from 5 to 7 p.m. with $4 house wines along with beer and well drinks at half price. It includes a free appetizer: your choice of ladyfinger rolls, chicken satay or spring rolls.
If you go
Coconut Bay: 1107 Howard Ave., Burlingame. (650) 558-8268. www.coconut-bay.com. 5-10 p.m. Monday-Saturday, 5-9 p.m. Sunday.

As probe continues, Ridgefield stunned at shooting
Police not releasing name: Home owned by John Valluzzo, founder of Military Museum
RIDGEFIELD -- The call to police Friday night came in from Florida. A woman in a Ridgefield home, the caller said, was being threatened by her intoxicated partner who was waving a gun around.
Police raced off to 423 Ridgebury Road, where an officer shot and killed a gun-wielding man after he pointed a weapon at the cop, authorities said.
Police Saturday said their investigation was continuing, and they did not release the name of the victim or the officer involved in the shooting, which happened about 5:15 p.m. at the home owned by John Valluzzo, the founder of Danbury's Military Museum of Southern New England.
But the shooting shook up the community of 23,600, known for its upscale homes on well-manicured wooded properties and its tony village center of art museums and galleries, shops and restaurants.
Several shots had been fired at the residence, sources said.
"It was a very long ordeal. Very frightening," said Ellen Baltuch, a neighbor of the Ridgebury Road house. "I don't know who lived there. I'd never paid any attention to them. But we are so close, it was quite scary."
Ridgefield First Selectman Rudy Marconi, who grew up in the town, said the shooting was "unprecedented."
"This is definitely an anomaly for something like this to happen," Marconi said. "I can't remember a time when there was a fatal shooting like this."
The house at 423 Ridgebury Road was purchased by Valluzzo, of New Canaan, in 2009 and sat vacant until two years ago. Valluzzo could not be reached for comment Saturday. The Ridgefield town clerk said Saturday that Valluzzo was the owner of the home as of a month ago.
Valluzzo, 75, is a decorated Korean War veteran. He founded the Military Museum of Southern New England in Danbury in 1995. He owns homes in Connecticut and Florida.
A source familiar with the investigation said the woman in the home Friday night had placed a frantic call to a friend or relative in Florida, who in turn had called police in Ridgefield.
The source said that the man who was staying in the house was divorced and living there with his partner.
The large stone house with a red roof is set back from the road and is behind a gated driveway and black iron fence in a neighborhood on the town's west side near the New York border. It is one of several similar homes on the road.
According to a listing on the real estate website zillow.com, the home is known as "Rosecrest" and has more than 9,000 square feet, including four bedrooms and three and a half baths. The last recorded sale of the home, according to the website, was in July 2009 for $1.2 million.
The home is about a mile from Ridgebury Elementary School and about two miles from Ridgefield High School.
An autopsy on the man who was killed is set for Tuesday.
The state police Western District Major Crime Squad is investigating the shooting.
The last criminal incident in Ridgefield that resulted in a fatality was in 2003 when Simone Harris' ex-husband, David Harris, strangled and beat her to death with a baseball bat.

ATLANTA (AP) — Zoo Atlanta officials say twin newborn giant panda cubs born there are gaining weight rapidly, an encouraging sign in their development.
Rebecca Snyder, the zoo's curator of mammals, said in an update this week that the firstborn cub used to be smaller, but has now surpassed his brother in weight. He has more than tripled his weight in two weeks. He now weighs 361 grams, while his brother weighs 360 grams.
The twin males born July 15 to Lun Lun and her partner, Yang Yang, are the first giant panda twins to be born in the U.S. since 1987.
A new photo released by Zoo Atlanta shows the faces of the cubs beginning to take shape, with their eyes and noses now clearly visible as they rest on baby blankets.

New research shows that boys are increasingly using sexually explicit social media messages to flirt, and it may be hurting them, as much as the girls who receive it.
We've long known about sexting: when kids use sexually provocative language and pictures.
But after four years of collecting interviews from students ages 4 to 18, their parents and their teachers, clinical psychologist Catherine Steiner-Adair, a Harvard instructor, has concluded that the courting behavior children now use is much more aggressive and sexual than it used to be.
"Boys are getting horrible messages today about how one makes an overture to a girl you have a crush on," Steiner-Adair told Here & Now. "The ethos today is a kind of crude, sexually aggressive overture is the way to proceed."
The irony, she says is that boys don't want to be this way. Rather, they are mimicking what they see in a "misogynistic" culture.
Steiner-Adair found that, "kids were often thoughtful and apologetic," through the course of her research.
The problem, Steiner-Adair says, is that there is no acceptable or healthy outlet to talk about sexuality.
"We're a sex saturated culture, yet we are a country that has a gag rule on teaching healthy sexuality," she said.
Steiner-Adair says the way boys learn about treating girls has long-lasting impacts as boys become men. She sites research that one in six women report unwanted sexual contact–whether rape or assault–on college campuses.
"For me one of the most moving comments I heard over and over and over from 18 to 25 year olds was 'We're the most connected generation history, and yet we are the worst at real love,'" Steiner-Adair said.
- Catherine Steiner-Adair, author of "The Big Disconnect: Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age." She is also a clinical instructor in the department of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and an associate psychologist at McLean Hospital.
It's HERE AND NOW. And it once was, you knew a boy liked you if he pulled your hair. Well, new research shows that today, many boys are sending incredibly sexually explicit social media messages instead, and it's harming them as much as the recipients.
Now, we've long known about sexting, but psychologist Catherine Steiner-Adair spent four years interviewing 1,000 kids from fourth grade up, and she says with smartphones, sexting is now the new flirting. One result, she said: Boys aren't learning the cues you'd get in normal conversations, how to read faces, how to interact socially.
But she says we also caricature boys as sexual aggressors and in so doing, we neglect their emotional lives. We're going to have a conversation about this. Her book is "The Big Disconnect: Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age." She's an instructor at Harvard Medical School and an associate psychologist at McLean Hospital.
So Dr. Steiner-Adair, I'm no prude, but some of these texts you show us are stunning. Unfortunately, we can't be specific because of SEC regulations, and we want to be careful of tender ears, so I will paraphrase. You cite a boy who texts a girl he doesn't know, says: Can we hook up because I - and then a crude request for oral sex. That's casual?
CATHERINE STEINER-ADAIR: Not only is it casual but it was done - and I heard from other kids as well - it's frequently done while texting across the room from one another, sitting in math class.
YOUNG: Well, tell us more about why that's damaging.
STEINER-ADAIR: Well, there's damage to boys, and there's damage to girls. I think boys are getting horrible messages today about how one makes an overture to a girl you have a crush on. And there's a real gotcha sort of shock-and-awe way of going about seeing if you can, as boys would say, get with a girl, which can mean anything from be her friend to, quote, "hook up," or actually maybe even have a nice romance. But the ethos today is a kind of crude, sexually aggressive overture is the way to proceed.
YOUNG: But do they mean it in a mean, attacking way?
STEINER-ADAIR: Most of the boys I spoke with really don't. They are just mimicking what is around in our sexually aggressive and misogynistic-saturated culture. They really often feel creepy themselves, and they'll debate, you know, how far can we go? And it's somewhat thrilling, it's certainly titillating. But they don't mean it to be cruel or harassing although they also often know that what they're doing crosses a line.
And when I challenged it with some, you know, they say, well, it's not nasty, it's not mean. So there's a lot of confusion, and it's very hard for boys to understand what it's like to be a girl receiving this text in math class or doing homework.
YOUNG: Well, you talk about a case of a boy who sent a naked snapshot of himself to his girlfriend, far more common with these new phones than it might have been three to five years ago. She was shocked. She'd never seen that before. And you say she felt the relationship suddenly lost its innocence, which hurt her. But her reaction surprised him. He really liked her.
STEINER-ADAIR: Absolutely. And this is what I mean when I say we're neglecting our boys if we don't talk to them about the fact that even though you might hear doing that in a TV commercial or a rap song - "send me a dirty picture of yourself" is a cool thing to do - in real life, it plays out very differently.
The girl was devastated. Her heart was broken. She felt so demeaned. She couldn't believe he would expose himself to her in this way. And she couldn't believe that he didn't think what it meant to her.
YOUNG: Well, you mentioned messaging. It's in the news - politicians in New York. It's online. Now, parents know their kids can access porn sites, but you give an example - and again, this may be graphic for some - a puzzled, young boy asks you, why would a woman like being choked? Now, that told you that he'd seen pornography.
STEINER-ADAIR: Absolutely. Beginning around the age of 12, quite tragically, boys as well as girls, many of them getting their sex education from YouTube and some very crass and sadistic and misogynistic material. It's ironic. We're a sex-saturated culture, yet we're also a country that has a gag rule on really teaching healthy sexuality.
YOUNG: Look, expound more on why this is as unhealthy for boys as it is for the girls. There's research that shows that they actually really do want love and not sex.
STEINER-ADAIR: They do, although boys certainly do experience their bodies, you know, differently than girls do. I think it would be horrible to assume that they, too, don't long for a really loving, kind relationship. And when they are only given role models that are pretty crass and disrespectful - you know, all kids want to join the dominant culture; that's what growing up means. And the dominant culture, unfortunately, has some pretty ugly role models.
It's very hard sometimes for boys to really feel comfortable even with each other, their friends, talking about how being the dude, being the man, is - actually feels really bad. And what I also found, though, in doing these focus groups all over the country was when given the opportunity to reflect, to think, to talk, even students in fourth, fifth and sixth grade were very thoughtful, were often apologetic.
YOUNG: Well, your book is called - again - "The Big Disconnect." The disconnect between what young men really want and how they are now acting through these texts, that's part of the disconnect, but also a lot of parents are too busy working and also, maybe don't even understand it's a disconnect.
STEINER-ADAIR: It is a disconnect, and there is a big disconnect, according to research. MacAfee just did a great study on teens' use of technology and what parents are aware of, or think they know. And there is a big gap between what parents actually know about what their kids are doing and what, in fact, their kids are doing.
And just in the last two years, we've seen an uptick of about - from 25 percent now to 43 percent of teenagers - 16, 17 on up - who lie very clearly; not only hide what they are doing - which is pretty easy, by high school, for most kids to know how to do - but then in fact when asked what to do, they lie. So it's really challenging. This is not easy.
And once you reach a certain point, you cannot know what your kids are doing. So then what becomes most important is how you react, how you react to the stories they talk about other kids, what other kids are doing, because if you get really judgmental or too intense or oh, my God, we'd die if you did that, your kids won't come to you when they're in trouble. Good kids, really good kids - probably your kids, perhaps, at some time - are getting in some tricky spots or bad trouble.
It's really important that you be approachable and calm when they come to you because if we can't prevent it, then the next most important thing is how we respond - it's the first-responder principle - when your children are in trouble.
YOUNG: Yeah, or you come across these texts.
STEINER-ADAIR: Yes.
YOUNG: I mean, they're - we again, we're trying to be aware of tender ears, but it's pretty stunning to see. And again, what's the danger of young men thinking that that's the thing to say to young women? What does it do to them emotionally?
STEINER-ADAIR: It hurts them. It hurts their understanding of what love is about, what women are about, how we treat each other as human beings. And if it goes on, I mean, we have a very serious problem in our college campuses right now. You know, one out of six women have unwanted sexual attack or assault or rape by a male. We have a hook-up culture that we all know is pretty damaging for kids.
And for me, one of the most moving comments I heard over and over and over from 18- to 25-year-olds is, you know, it's a real paradox because we're the most connected generation history, and yet we are the worst at real love.
YOUNG: Catherine Steiner-Adair, author of "The Big Disconnect: Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age." Thanks so much.
STEINER-ADAIR: You're welcome, thank you for having me.
YOUNG: And I also asked Dr. Steiner-Adair what's a parent to do, and she said ask, ask to see texts, especially with young kids. They will show you, then let the conversation begin. And you can continue at hereandnow.org. By the way, on Monday, sexual abuse in the military. Latest news is next, HERE AND NOW. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

California sells winning $425 million Powerball ticket
(CNN) — It was either a very restless or restful night of sleep for someone who bought a Powerball ticket in Northern California.
Restless knowing their life had changed forever. Or restful knowing they had a boatload of cash coming their way.
The California Lottery announced late Wednesday that one winning ticket was sold for the $425 million jackpot.
The winning numbers were 17, 49, 54, 35, 1. The Powerball number was 34.
The winning ticket was sold at Dixon Landing Chevron in the Bay Area town of Milpitas. The station will get $1 million bonus.
Wednesday's jackpot ranks as the sixth largest in U.S. history.
The largest was $656 million in the Mega Millions game in March 2012. That was split by three tickets sold in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland.
The Powerball game is played in 43 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. A single ticket costs $2, and the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 175,223,510.

Jackie O dress
Added Nov 11, 2012
by skeeler
Austin, Texas, U...
This is another dress from the Famous Frocks book. As usual, I had to make some adjustments. Despite a shallow chest alteration, the bodice still tended to bunch up there, so I inserted a piece of boning to keep the front flat. The boning can slide in and out for washing or if/when I change my mind about the need for it. It seems to help it lie right. This dress has pockets, so you know I'll wear it. Fabric is Japanese cotton from the Contemporary Cloth online store.
This dress was pretty easy to make, but I call it "intermediate" because I found the alterations challenging with the unique neckline.
Material Notes
Cotton fabric with back zipper

Organizers say there's a wide variety in the 3,000 books available, with paperbacks at 50 cents to $2, hardback novels $1 to $4 and children's books 10 cents to $1.
"The books are reasonably priced, but we also take donations as well. So come check that out," Dawn Buckallew, secretary of the council's board, said at Tuesday's Chamber of Commerce luncheon.
The Assistance Council provides services to those in need. It has a food shelf at the First Baptist Church and gives help with utilities. This month, it will give out food for Thanksgiving meals and then to do the same next month for Christmas.
"There's a great need there," said case manager Mary Strack. She said about 125 families will get help with the holiday meals.
The group's recent trivia night raised more than $3,000, and its auction raised more than $8,000. The Dec. 3 Chamber of Commerce luncheon, also with an auction, will be a fundraiser for the group as well.

What is the difference between general use and industrial use?
Latest Updated:09/01/2005
What is the difference between operational amplifiers/comparators for general use and those for industrial use?
An operational amplifier/comparator for general use is recommended for use in consumer products, whereas one for industrial use is recommended for use in industrial equipment. The latter are designed for use in sets that operate in difficult environments and therefore have a wider ambient operating temperature range than the former. Moreover, with operational amplifiers/comparators for industrial use, all devices are subject to testing with all test items.
(Example) Single-power-supply dual operational amplifier
For general use (UPC358G2) : Ambient operating temperature range: -20 to +80°C
For industrial use(UPC1251G2) : Ambient operating temperature range: -40 to +85°C

Hatch teaches internet 'valuable jargon lesson'
(KUTV) Linguists and Civil War buffs may appreciate the lesson Sen. Orrin Hatch delivered on Twitter after a term he used on Politico raised some eyebrows.
Hatch, or his official office Twitter account, schooled the internet on the origins and meaning of a phrase he used about shooting a wad, referring to his own Republican Party.
While talking about healthcare and the GOP agenda, Hatch, ready to move the political agenda to tax reform said on Politico:
As far as I'm concerned, they shot their wad on health care and that's the way it is. I'm sick of it.
Commentators on social media thought the phrase had an entirely different meaning from the one Hatch intended, one often used as a sexual reference.
Hatch, or his official Twitter account, didn't just sit back and take the responses, but instead answered with what the account called "a valuable jargon lesson on 'wads' and the shooting of them.'"
Hatch's office linked to the Oxford English Dictionary online, that promises to help users "discover the story of English." Hatch, seemingly tongue-in-cheek and inviting comments about his age, Tweeted, "As few of you were alive during the Civil War," followed by references from the OED online about muskets.
Hatch embedded a reference where the phrase refers first to "a plug of tow, cloth, etc. ... to retain the powder and shot it position in charging a gun or cartridge."
A second definition on the same entry seems to fit Hatch's quote on Politico. It says:
In fig. phr. to shoot one's wad, to do all that one can do.
Twitter, or at least some on it, seemed unconvinced and responses were plentiful, including some who thanked Hatch for his levity.

Production Times:
Just a quick reminder that we print everything ourselves by hand. That said, it takes 3-6 business days before your order will ship during the regular season and 7-10 business days during the busy season (October - December).
If your order contains Limited Edition items, the turnarounds will be different than those stated above. Please make sure to pay attention to the turnaround times noted on each product's listing, as refunds will not be issued if you fail to read the turnarounds.
General Shipping Policy:
All items ship 3-6 business days AFTER the stated production time unless otherwise specified. Our production times generally increase to 7-10 business days during busy season, October - December. You will receive an email notification when your order ships. If tracking is available, it will have tracking information attached.

After we ship your parcel, it is in the capable hands of Canada Post, USPS, UPS, FedEx or DHL. That said, we are not responsible for any mail delays or shipping errors after the parcel leaves our production centre. We are also not responsible for lost shipments.
As always, we will do our best to help you track a parcel or find more information if your tracking number isn't up to date, but it's always best to reach out to the shipping provider directly to determine the most current status of your parcel's whereabouts.
Return Policy:
We traditionally say that all sales are final. That's because we ship a lot of shirts with tattoo sleeves that are considered "custom" products. That said, your satisfaction is the most important element of our business. If there's an issue with damage / sizing, please email us.
This said, Little Misfits is a positivity plus company. That means we want both our customers and our employees / vendors to have a delightful and happy experience shopping and working for us.
Due to that we don't tolerate abusive or blatantly rude behaviour from our customers OR from any of our staff or vendors. To spell it out, if you send us an email where you swear at us, use racial slurs, or are blatantly rude, there's a good chance your order will be cancelled and credited minus up to a $5 "No Play Zone" fee. In turn, this fee will be used to do a random act of kindness for the staff member who replied to your inquiry. It's pretty much karma.
If you have a question about a product, please email / tweet / facebook message us and we'll do our best to answer asap.
Local Orders / Pick Ups:
It usually takes us 5-8 business days to turn around a local order unless otherwise specified on our product listings. If you need your item more urgently, email / facebook message us and we'll do what we can to help.

If your order includes in-stock items and preorder items, it will ship once your preorder items arrive in stock.
Custom Orders:
Please make sure that you review your order for accurate spelling and size before you check out. Due to the nature of custom orders, we cannot replace items for containing spelling or grammatical issues, so please make sure it's exactly what you'd like before you complete your checkout.
Tattoo Sleeves:
Tattoo sleeves are NOT sewn in to shirts over a certain size or sleeve circumference. This is due to the fact that sewing the sleeves in to the shirts at a larger sleeve circumference causes unsightly bunching.
In most cases, if we can sew the sleeves in to the shirt, we will. Depending on the blank manufacturer we are stocking at the time, however, you may see sleeves at the 4T ot 4/5 size come separately from your shirts.
In many cases our customers prefer to have the sleeves not sewn in because it allows the intended recipient to be able to enjoy the sleeves with other shirts.
We utilize a variety of shirt blank manufacturers when producing your garments. Sizing may vary due to this. The sizing we follow if we have to fulfill your order using 2 different manufacturers is based off American Apparel children's sizes charts:
For example, if you ordered a size 3T and we fulfill your shirt with an American Apparel shirt blank, you will receive a size 2. This is because American Apparel's size 2 is measured by the manufacturer as a size 2/3. In many cases, a size 3T in another manufacturer will only vary a half inch to an inch in length.
Please keep this in mind when placing your orders.

Be bold enough to use your voice, brave enough to listen to your heart, and strong enough to live the life you've always imagined. - Unknown
Growing up it's easy to get wrapped up in other people's expectations of us. Whether it's teachers, coaches, parents, siblings or friends, everyone has an idea about the person we "should" be and it's not always the same as the idea that we have.
It takes courage to go against the expectations of others and stay true to ourselves... even more so when you're a misfit. But the beautiful thing about life is that the people who truly love you, love you for all the unique parts of who you are at your core. And truly, your life opens up when you're true to yourself.
Always and forever trust in who you are, because there's no one else like you!
Rad things about this design:
- Design printed with super durable ink
- 100% cotton onesie
- Made to order (so it takes 3-6 business days (Monday - Friday) to produce them for you before they are shipped)

I have played SWTOR and some in my Steam group play that game. You could make a comment in my Friendly Neighborhood Atheist Group on Steam and get some responses.
Nope, I stay away from MMO's. I get sucked in too easily.
Any one on here still play SWTOR and know of a good atheist friendly guild?
When of my arguments against the moral argument for God, is to compare morality to good strategies in games. Obviously when trying this one does not want to imply life is just a game. However ontologically I reckon the two do have the same status. Has anyone else thought of this and or tried it.
ESO does look good. Have to wait until the semester's over though or I'll never get any work done!
ill be in it too.
I will playing ESO starting this sunday.
Hey Carl - yeah sounds like a fun game too. I think I will get it.
I got sick of waiting for a US release, and downloaded the Japanese version of Phantasy Star Online 2...and am absolutely loving it! :) Still considering ESO as well though.
eso is almost here!!!!

Download here: Episode 28 - Celebrity Robots Brought to Life
In today's episode we speak with celebrity robot maker Fred Barton who is best known as ROBOTMAN. As an expert in the Sci-Fi genre, he'll be giving us an overview of robots in the cinema from the first shoots to today with a special emphasis on his all time favorite, Robby the Robot from the 1956 Forbidden Planet. Finally, tell us who your favorite movie robot is for a chance to win a Sci-Fi DVD or Blueray of your choice!
Fred Barton
As a teenager in highschool, Fred Barton decided he needed to have his own full size version of Robby the Robot from the Forbidden Planet. After home-making all the parts he ended-up with his first celebrity robot and went on to restoring the original Robby movie prop. However, it is only in 1996 that he decided to make a living out of his childhood passion and build robot collectibles for museums and our fellow enthusiasts.

The title of "A.C.O.D." stands for "Adult Children of Divorce," apparently a subject that director and co-writer Stu Zicherman knows all too well. He also, thankfully, has enough distance on it to keep his movie lightly knowing and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny while acknowledging the real pain a grown man can experience when dealing with parents who act like squabbling children.
Adam Scott, that ubiquitous human cartoon of a leading man ("Friends With Children," TV's "Parks and Recreation"), stars as Carter, a successful Atlanta restaurateur whose childhood traumas surrounding his parents' bitter divorce are behind him. He thinks. When younger brother Trey (Clark Duke) gets engaged to his girlfriend (Valerie Tian), Carter has to man up and convince dad Hugh (Richard Jenkins) and mom Melissa (Catherine O'Hara) to both attend the ceremony.
OK, stop right there. Any movie that puts two great character actors like beady-eyed Jenkins and crazy-eyed O'Hara in the same movie, let alone the same scene, is worth your time. "A.C.O.D." is no big deal in the grand scheme of things — a little messy, a lot predictable, a few too many jokes that land on the sitcom end of the spectrum — but it has a cast of pro farceurs who put a spin on almost everything they do. That would include Amy Poehler as dad's second (or third) trophy wife and Jane Lynch of "Glee" as Carter's once and future therapist, who turns out to have gotten a best-selling self-help book out of her patient's adolescent crisis.
Even Jessica Alba works a few pointed chuckles out of her small role as one of Carter's fellow subjects. "A.C.O.D." knows that the damage done to children by toxically self-absorbed parents has a long, long tail and the more the hero tries to rise above it all and be a paragon of maturity, the more trapped he is in old resentments. As the hero's easygoing girlfriend, Mary Elizabeth Winstead has the thankless task of being the movie's beacon of common sense; she and we wait patiently for Carter to figure it all out in time for the end credits.
Scott's probably the perfect actor for this, since he's too likably lightweight to suggest any emotion more crippling than exasperation. The best, most acridly funny scenes in "A.C.O.D." have to do with Carter's battling parents learning that the line between love and hate is thinner than they remembered, and Jenkins and O'Hara dive into their roles with shameless exhibitionist gusto. You may find yourself wishing the movie were all about them, but I guess that's been their son's problem since day one.Ty Burr can be reached at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @tyburr.

Dental Implants for children
A. Dental implants are only successful when fused to the bone structure. The jaw bone growth is not complete in children and usually is not fully developed until adolescence. If the implant is placed and the bone growth has not been completed, the implant may shift or cause more severe problems. A 'space maintainer' may be used for children who have lost teeth before the bone growth completion to prevent the surrounding teeth from shifting. The space maintainer will be removed once, the bone growth has completed and properly restored with an implant or bridge.

As a veteran of both the armed services and the defense industry, I think I have a useful perspective on the military budget. And my experience tells me that in our search for ways to reduce our federal deficits, we shouldn't start with hospital and nursing-home care provided by Medicare and Medicaid, but rather with wasteful spending at the Pentagon.
In my combat tour with the United States Army in Vietnam in 1966-'67, I experienced the waste of resources and weapons that didn't work. Later, in my contracting career, I observed needless cost overruns, padded grants and foolish projects.
The problem is that our military budget has taken on a life of its own — it's no longer there simply to fund our legitimate defense needs. It now has economic and political purposes that often supersede the goal of keeping us safe at reasonable cost.
That's why closing redundant military bases is so traumatic and Congress continues to vote funds for weapons the top military brass doesn't want or need.
This is evidence of the military-industrial complex President Eisenhower warned us about in his farewell address more than 50 years ago. It can now be consider the military-industrial congressional complex.
While continuing to maintain a strong defense against legitimate threats, it's time we dismantled this dangerous complex in the interest of a sounder federal balance sheet, a more stable economy and a healthier society.
We spend more on defense than the next 17 countries combined and account for 40 percent of all the military spending in the world. Politicians and experts from across the political spectrum have called for judicious cuts in our bloated defense budget.
Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins can be leaders in making defense cuts a central component of the final "fiscal cliff" deficit-reduction deal. I urge them to exercise that leadership.

GOP has long since stopped aiding fight for civil rights
In his letter to the editor titled "Democrats, not GOP, practice racism" (Nov. 30), Jones Gallagher of North Berwick states a number of examples of Democratic racism from the 19th century through the 1960s.
What Mr. Gallagher fails to understand is that our political parties were not as ideologically polarized as they are today and that it was liberals in each party who fought for civil rights while being opposed by conservatives at every turn.
Today, we take for granted that the Republican Party is the conservative party while the Democrats are (somewhat) liberal and progressive. That was simply not the case during most of the last 150 years since the founding of the Republican Party.
It was the signing of the Civil Rights Act that polarized the positions of our current political parties. When President Lyndon Johnson signed the act into law, he stated that he had "just delivered the South to the Republican Party for a long time to come."
President Johnson was absolutely correct, as the Republican Party and President Richard Nixon wasted no time in implementing their "Southern strategy" of winning elections in the Deep South by appealing to racism against African-Americans. In the half-century since the signing of the Civil Rights Act, the Republican Party has carried the mantle of racism with barely any shame.
There is a continuous thread from the Dixiecrats leaving the Democratic Party for the Republican Party right through this past election and Charlie Webster's very revealing post-election comments. Anyone who lives outside the conservative media bubble can see the plain truth.

'Cookie caper' overshadows day of inspirational talks
Having been an enthusiastic recipient of the wonderful offerings of TEDx, I wanted to write and support this amazing organization that hosted more than 400 people, both students and adults, Dec. 7 at Cape Elizabeth High School.
I am sorry that the actions of a few in what has been named the "cookie caper" ("Police investigate pot cookies at Cape Elizabeth High School," Dec. 10) was somehow confused with TEDx's mission of calling people to creativity, the beauty of being human and a keen awareness that what we are passionate about can lead to great things in this society.
Principal Jeffrey Shedd said it so well in quoting Abraham Lincoln that TEDx is a platform for following "the better angels of our nature."
On a personal note, I was most happy to work with Adam Burke, the executive director of TEDx, and Mark Dvorozniak, a parent, to offer the participants apple butter and Borealis bread as a morning treat. I can assure you this food was only laced with the goodness of Maine.

Towns making gay pairs, not the needy, top priority
I think it is wonderful that some communities have decided to extend their hours to accommodate the anticipated increase in certificate of marriage requests for 2013.
Surely I can see how town managers, mayors and council members feel it is more important to spend extra monies in expediting same-sex marriages than to spend their extra monies and efforts in, well, let's say, food pantries and/or heating assistance.
Yes, I'm extremely impressed with the display of fiscal responsibility they demonstrate. It is so reassuring to see leaders who prioritize potential voters from certain groups over the basic needs of their less fortunate citizens.
Next time you notice someone in need on the street in these communities, tell them, "Thanks for not eating today. It's more important that so and so get their wedding certificate."

Wind power places unfair burdens on those nearby
It is interesting to read that wind turbine operators from Green Mountain Power in Vermont instructed police not to arrest the publisher of a weekly newspaper, the Barton Chronicle, who was nevertheless charged with trespassing during a wind turbine protest a year ago, and subsequently spent $10,000 in legal fees defending himself against the criminal complaint.
On Vinalhaven, neighbors of the wind turbines have spent more than $100,000 in a Maine Superior Court action whose goal is simply to get the state of Maine to do a better job protecting people from industrial noise in a rural setting.
While wind power raises more questions than answers, one fact is for certain: It is impinging on citizens' free expression and imposing severe penalties on those in its path.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) – University of Missouri undergraduates who are state residents will pay 1.7 percent more in tuition next year as the four-campus system holds its annual hike to the rate of inflation.
The Board of Curators approved the tuition increase Thursday while meeting at the Kansas City campus. Room and board will also rise.
The increase for the 2013-14 academic year is slightly less than earlier estimates of a 2 percent boost. State law limits annual tuition increases to the federal Consumer Price Index. Larger increases require approval by Missouri's higher education department.
Annual in-state tuition at the flagship Columbia campus will rise to $9,343, an increase of $158.
Out-of-state undergraduates will see similar increases in Columbia and Kansas City but pay 4.4 percent more at the Rolla campus and 6.8 percent in St. Louis.

What Kansas State Says About America
As College Football Gets Richer and Flashier, a Stubbornly Traditional Team Keeps Winning
Let's not mince words about this. Kansas State, the No. 1 college-football team in the land, lacks some qualities that most of us have come to associate with the sport's elite.
Unlike Oregon, which has flashy uniforms and a thoroughly modern offense, or Notre Dame, which has history to burn, or Alabama, which has the best coach money can buy, the Wildcats are about as sexy as the south end of a northbound mule.
This is a prairie school derisively known as Silo Tech whose team is a collection of walk-ons, junior-college transfers and under-recruited players. Its coach, Bill Snyder, is a 73-year-old white-haired taskmaster who speaks with the sort of clipped sentences and even tone one would expect from a football coach on the prairie. "We've done all right," Snyder said.
Nobody is even sure why they're winning. The Wildcats rank No. 8 in the nation in scoring, but their biggest strength is that they excel in the overlooked parts of the game: They're No. 1 nationally in turnover margin, No. 2 in punt returns and No. 7 in kickoff returns. "I have friends who have said, 'They just don't pass the eye test,'" said Fox Sports analyst Charles Davis. "I get that. I understand it. But I'm telling you, trust what you're seeing in the results."
After starting the season ranked No. 22, Kansas State has won 10 straight games and earned the No. 1 ranking in the all-important Bowl Championship Series standings. If they beat unranked Baylor Saturday and No. 18 Texas on Dec. 1, they will undoubtedly play for their first national title.
Should they keep winning, the Wildcats will surely draw fire from those who like their football saucy and who judge the sport's health by the quality of its TV ratings. Kansas State doesn't allow earrings or hats in the football complex. No dreadlocks hanging out of helmets. No missing practice or class.
But what Kansas State represents is a truth that's sometimes inconvenient in college football: that winners come in many flavors. And the flavor of this season may turn out to be Red State Surprise.
"There is a military aspect to the team, in terms of discipline," said Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, a former student body president at Kansas State. "And in an era of self-promotion, this team believes that the player next to you is more important than your own glory."
Even by Kansas standards, the Wildcats are unheralded. Their identity is built around insults, typically cow-related, hurled from the manicured lawns of its larger and more urbane sister, the rival University of Kansas. Meanwhile, they represent a town and state that remain deeply red.
"I don't think we've been as conservative in our political leanings as we are right now," said Joe Aistrup, a Kansas State professor who specializes in Kansas politics.
That could make Kansas State the ideal opponent for Oregon, which is ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press poll and is on track to meet the Wildcats in the BCS championship if both teams win out. "Big universities are liberal and the political left can be elitist and snooty, especially to people from small towns," said Lisa Ryckert, the mother of two Kansas State students who with her husband runs a farm in Paola, Kan.
Perhaps the strangest thing about Kansas State's success is that it has almost nothing to do with top-rated high-school recruiting classes. The Wildcats' last four classes were ranked 89th nationally on average by Scout.com, a recruiting site. In 2009, Kansas State's recruiting class was 112th—last among schools in BCS conferences. Kansas State also has 27 junior-college transfers on its roster, the most among its peers, according to JCFootball.com data.
Granted, the Wildcats aren't devoid of high-school stars: Linebacker Arthur Brown, a transfer from Miami (Fla.), was once one of the top recruits in the nation. Still, "on the BCS level, this is unheard of," said Scott Kennedy, Scout.com's scouting director. "It's a complete anomaly."
Its superstars and players at critical positions fit the mold. Quarterback Collin Klein's 12 passing and 19 rushing touchdowns have made him the odds-on Heisman Trophy favorite. He came to Manhattan from Loveland, Colo., seeking a wholesome environment to play college football, and Kansas State was the most prominent school to offer him a scholarship.
Then there is team captain B.J. Finney, a candidate for this season's Rimington Trophy, awarded to college football's best center. He was a walk-on with more pedigree on the wrestling mat than the gridiron when he arrived. In fact, at least 19 former walk-ons have earned starting jobs at Kansas State since 2000, including Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson.
"We do end up with more kids who are taught at an early age that if you want something, you get it yourself, because no one is going to give it to you," said Dave Dreiling, a Kansas State graduate who is chief executive of GTM Sportswear in Manhattan. "There are no handouts around here."
Even the way the Wildcats look on the field diverts attention from them. Every week, Oregon debuts a new combination of six Nike tops, five pants, four undershirts and five helmets, not to mention a variety of cleats, socks and accessories, said a Nike spokesman. Even hidebound Notre Dame unveiled new blindingly bright gold helmets this season.
Kansas State wears one purple uniform at home and one white uniform on the road—and that's it. "At Kansas State," Davis said, "the throwback uniform is the current uniform."

text: Making A Table | Curly Ambrosia Maple (ep71) Projects, Simple Builds 18 Comments Share this:FacebookGoogleTwitterTumblrPinterestReddit My friends Jay Bates and April Wilkerson were visiting so we could build some projects together. My son wanted an end table for an alarm clock so we figured we could come up with one for him. He likes bright colors so I choose to dye a piece of curly ambrosia maple to act as the centerpiece of the table. The base was going to be muted in flat black paint to let the top be the main attraction. He ended up loving it which is all I can ask for. Having Jay and April in the shop was a blast. With woodworking being such a solitary hobby, I highly recommend trying to work with others in the shop. Not only can it make it a ton more fun, but you can learn so much from each other. It's cool to see how even small and simple tasks are performed by someone else. Of course having an extra set of hands for glue-ups is nice as well. If you aren't familiar with Jay or April definitely check out their stuff. Both make some really awesome stuff. While at my shop April was learning several different methods for mortise and tenons in this video and Jay has a really good video showing how to make mortises with a router. Now let's get to the build! The miter saw is where I started to start breaking down the curly ambrosia maple. With a level taped to the board, April was able to rip one side of the uneven board on the table saw. Then the level can be removed, the piece flipped around, and it can be ripped to final width. Then Jay and myself brought the maple down to final thickness on the planer. Using my crosscut sled, April cut the piece in half to prepare for glue-up. Some glue on the edges and set tightly in some clamps, the top could dry. A nice even bead of glue squeeze out indicates a nicely glued joint. Jay then used a card scraper to smooth everything out and finesse the glue joint. Here is our finished glue up. For the front apron that was going to have the drawer, two edges were ripped off on the table saw, the ends of the middle piece were removed, and the center section discarded. This is a great way to do an inlay drawer front and to get grain match. We opted to do an overlay drawer front instead. Then just glue the four pieces back together and you're done with your drawer opening piece. I turned my attention to the legs of the table. I started with an 8 foot long piece of select pine. It measured 2″ square. I cut it in half, and then into quarters. After squaring up one end on each piece and clamping those ends flush, I cut all our to a final length of 23″. After laying out where the tenons were to go, we all took turns on the hollow chisel mortiser creating the mortises. We could then clean them up with a chisel. Using my homemade tenon & spline jig, I made tenons on each end of the apron pieces. Once we had some glue on the tenons and in the mortises, we could proceed to clamping it all together. After mocking up the top it looked a little bulky. On the table saw I added a chamfer the the bottom edge of the top. Figured wood such as curly maple really looks best with a stain or dye. Using a foam brush, I applied a #12 Bright Red Cherry dye. It's a water based dye and also helps raise the grain. After applying it, I immediately wiped of any excess with a clean rag. Once fully dry, I sanded it lightly to remove the raised grain. Making sure not to sand too heavily and cut through the dye. Four coats of satin spray lacquer sealed the dye in and gave a beautiful finish. Jay and April painted the base with some flat black water based paint. After gluing and brad nailing some drawer runners to the base, I made a corresponding groove in the drawer using a straight bit in my router table. Click here to see how I make my drawers. I also added some paste wax to the drawer runners to help everything slide nice and smooth. After temporarily installing the false drawer front with some double sided tape, I permanently attached it with some screws from the inside. Lastly I could secure the table top to the base using some table top clips. Below you can see some pictures of the completed project. Thank you so much for checking out this build.

My granddaughter and I made a similar one with an oak top (see Lumberjocks). I like the red dye on the top. Reply Nick August 28, 2016 thanks Tom – very cool to hear – I'm really digging the color of thetop as well Reply umpire20 August 28, 2016 Nick, you three are insane. That's why I watch all of you on your respective channels. Great looking table. Reply Nick August 28, 2016 haha, thanks – sometimes a little insanity if the only way to go! Reply Tony O August 30, 2016 Do you have any dimensions or plans? Reply Nick August 30, 2016 I don't currently for this one – I think this is the only table plans I have – https://nickferry.com/product/end-table-cutlistplans/ – doubt I will make any for this particular one Reply Dale Durfey September 1, 2016 How hard is it to line up perfectly the drawer grooves with the wood runners? Your drawer seemed to fit very tightly into the table. Great project! Reply Nick September 1, 2016 not overly difficult – granted the more practice you have the better you'll get and the tighter you can make the tolerances – worth giving a try for sure – it's a fun and effective way to do it! Reply inventionaddict September 4, 2016 Very nice projects. How do you like the tapering jig? Do you have a link? Did not see it on your tools page. Reply Nick September 4, 2016 thank you – I don't like that tapering jig – I've had it for many years now and I have never fully liked it Reply Ethan September 18, 2016 Great project! What was the final dimensions of the top if you don't mind Reply Nick September 18, 2016 I'm not near it right now but I'd say around 20″ x 12″ (give or take) Reply Ed Connors September 27, 2016 Hey Nick… fabulous project! I truly love the contrast with with the colors, makes the top stand out. The pics of the step by step process is nice, a lot of people leave out the critical pics in the steps. Great job and thanks for sharing! Reply Nick September 27, 2016 thank you, I appreciate it! Reply Anthony January 5, 2017 Pretty cool project man. Might use this in my son's room. I'm in the middle of trying to find time to finish his bed first. Just for shiggles and giggles, try this finish technique on your next project. It's the one our finish guys use and I've had a lot of success with it also. First sand to a 150 grit. Remove all dust with a blower nozzle and a brush. Stain. Allow to dry. Then use a sealer on the stain. Allow to dry. Sand with a fine sand sponge. Stain again on top of the sealer. Allow to dry. Then use a spray lacquer 2 coats, lightly sanding between coats. It makes the stain so much more consistent and deep. Once again, thank you for sharing you talents. The vids are fun to watch. Reply Nick January 5, 2017 thanks much – I may have to try that sometime – might be too much fuss for me though Reply Ryan Wilford June 19, 2017 It's rare seeing bigger projects laid out like this, in an easy to follow format, thanks! I personally find the red cherry dye a bit tacky – does fit the black legs though! In the end it's all a matter of personal preferance… Reply Nick June 19, 2017 thanks much!

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - King College was placed at No. 47 in the first NCAA Division II Women's Basketball stat report's free-throw percentage, the organization announced.
The Lady Tornado so far owns a .735 free throw percentage. Lake Erie leads the nation with a .833 free throw percentage. Leading the team was Ashley Deans (Greeneville, Tenn.) with a .864 free throw percentage which ranked No. 51 in the nation.
King, with a 2-10 record, travels to Mars Hill (N.C.) College for a 2 p.m. contest Thursday.
