AILA Doc. No. 09030637 | Dated March 6, 2009
On 3/6/09, President Obama signed a short term continuing resolution (P.L. 111-6) that will provide funding through Wednesday, March 11, for programs and agencies normally covered by the nine regular FY 2009 appropriations bills that have not been enacted.
The continuing resolution also extends two immigration related programs -- the EB-5 regional center program and Basic Pilot (E-Verify) program-- through March 11. It is also intended to provide time for the Senate to complete action on the omnibus bill by early next week.
The continuing resolution was passed by both the House of Representative and the Senate on 3/6/09.

where are you? here in NY the back-up isn't kel-tec, its the company that tests a round through the gun to include with the new sale (not all manufactures do this and it is law in NY and..Maryland?)
So here, that is the back up.. and they are POPULAR right now.
If you are elsewhere... i don't know. Have you asked the LGS if they can get one, why they have none?

Re: We seriously need to get more XLR owners in here.. Any ideas?
LORD CADILLAC: You mentioned the XLR information was the way to go, but didn't know where to start... As a new XLR owner, this is the type of information I was looking for:
How many of my car were made? So, straight facts on production numbers would be a key. How many of each year, each color offered, each interior/exterior combo, etc.
04-05 XLR owners will want to know everything there is about the Headlight issue.
A list of every recall that was issued on each year
What are the common failure/problematic issues. What are tips of maintenance to help avoid any further issues.
What similarities does the XLR have with other vehs? We know it shares the same platform as the C6, but let's get specific. What exactly is the same and what appears to be but is not? What parts are interchangeable?
What are the tricks of the trade with this car? Meaning... hold this button and that button at the same time for 10 seconds and (x) will be reset.
What does XLR even stand for? (Is it.. eXperimental Luxury Roadster?)
What bolt pattern and offset are needed for aftermarket rims? How big of a rim can you go? How wide? How big of a tire can you stuff out back?
Horsepower... tell me how I can make more! What other options do we have other than D3 Performance? Do they own the market? What are all the basic bolt-on options? Who can tune these cars?[/QUOTE]
Nearly every question you pose has been answered in the various XLR forums. As you go through them, you'll see many of the same questions repeated because folks want a fast answer without doing any work themselves. Search is your friend. For any prospective owner I highly recommend reading EVERY online post before you purchase an XLR to make an informed decision. It's worth the time.
The only engine swap I've seen for an XLR was a guy who gutted one and converted it into a dragster. Then destroyed it. So while you may see wistful owners talking about an engine swapout, it's just that --talk. Modifying this car invites all kinds of functionality issues since the Northstar is so integrated with the rest of the vehicle's systems. It's not impossible, just technically impractical and not financially feasible for all but a very few. If you want more horsepower, buy an XLR-V; don't waste your time and money on a base model.
Basically, this car is too complex for the majority of DIY's. Without a Tech 2, you're pretty much stuck, unless you want to guess your way to a fix, and parts aren't cheap enough to do that.
Due to the low production volume, system integration, N* powerplant, mods are few, and experts are rare. The LS engines have a long history of mods, and gurus to create them. Not likely for the XLR. D3 is it if you want any serious changes. Few owners want to let someone with no experience on the XLR experiment with their vehicles. Would you?
I agree with your comment regarding demographics. Younger, less affluent buyers will snap these up, thinking they've gotten a great deal only to find out they can't afford the keep the vehicles maintained. Price of ownership is high --no matter what somone pays to get in. Headights and shocks are still $1k each.
There's an oft-repeated myth that dealers charge more, when in fact, you're getting someone who's been trained on the vehicle and know what they're doing (most of the time, --but not always.) Take this car to an independent garage and just see what happens if you think you're gonna save a buck. In most cases, you're going to pay for the mechanic's training-- on your car! Unless it's something simple like exhaust, brakes, or wheels it isn't worth the frustration and hassle. Buy a shop manual and you'll get an inkling of what I mean. An alternator replacement costs a small fortune and requires lifting the engine!
The numbers speak for themselves. Compare the number of XLR posts on this site to say, the '04 CTS-V. They post more in a week than the XLR section does in a year. And the XLR section will always have a higher question than answer rate.

Re: We seriously need to get more XLR owners in here.. Any ideas?
This is the only article that has brought this much feed back. If you will look at the other questions on other articles, you will see that only a couple of people make a comment about it, but between 10 and 200 people have read it. I think it is like school, only one person raises their hand, while all of the others are scared to look bad saying something wrong.

Re: We seriously need to get more XLR owners in here.. Any ideas?
This is the type of thing I'd be interested in as well. I recently joined when i was looking for info on a power module for the other caddy. A 1984 fleetwood formal with only 15 k. The XLR which is an 06 had more than that when I bought as it came off lease in Sept. 2009. Mine has been very good, and I love it. I drove an Allante for 20 years before the XLR And always liked it.
What I want from this forum...well, I am one of the less affluent folks who would rather do some serious preventative maintenance on this strange XLRV than pay a dealer to do the work. So, aside from oil changes and applying some mothers to all of those roof gasket parts (thankfully, you can stop the roof in any position), there must be some learnings from all of you that I can apply to keep this baby healthy.
Also in agreement with other posts...needs to be a local owner's club in my no. Cal area.
Re: We seriously need to get more XLR owners in here.. Any ideas?
could not have said it better myself...Maybe Lindsay could be of help here..They have a great reputation, i would love to have them chime in and get involved...Anyway, i flew down to Florida sat. and bought an o4 silver with ebony int. to match my 06 CTS-V...I drove it 1,300miles back to Balto with about 3 pit stops along the way and i loved it...So, i now am a true XLR man....I am putting it up on my lift tomorrow Monday and taking a good look and the underside to see the similarities it has with the C5 vette i owned...
A new radiator was put in last week and a new roof motor, sensors etc. etc. has been done in the last year. so hopefully the power steering and other problems don't pop up... seeya Greg O.

Re: We seriously need to get more XLR owners in here.. Any ideas?
XLR.jpg Get attention it does. Everywere u go it turns heads. I picked up my 2005 crimson pearl in july. It's only been six months and I have waxed it 5 times. People cannot believe it is a 05. When the roof is down it is so exciting. I still cannot get over the ease in which it accelerates. Smooth as silk.......
Re: We seriously need to get more XLR owners in here.. Any ideas?
The crimson red is IMO the best looking color....There are not too many XLR's in the Md. Va DC Pa area..I have only seen 2 in my life around here...My silver XLR with Ebony interior was all that was available..and I had to fly to Fl. to get it...
Like the silver...does not show dust.
Saw my first XLR in Florida myself...most cars of that initial price, I never really paid attention to...but after sitting in it, I was instantly hooked.
No local clubs in the Bay area either...have been invited to join a vette club lol
Re: We seriously need to get more XLR owners in here.. Any ideas?
Your right about that.....The silver platinum looks clean even after driving in the rain. I do like that.. My black corvettte I would take to rallys and after driving only 12 miles I would have to feather dust it down.. Looked as if I hadn't washed it in weeks..lol Anyway I reside in Howard Co. between DC and Balto. and like I said I have only seen 2 in my life......
Re: We seriously need to get more XLR owners in here.. Any ideas?
Your site has been a valuable resourse. A year ago I wouldn't have known what you were talking about, if you ask me about an XLR. Along with this site and other resourses, I know enough, that I feel comfortable buying one. I'm having my 2009 black cherry X , transported here. I should have it by the last of Feb. or so.
You folks do a great job. . . . . Carry On

Softball Opens Horizon League Tournament with 5-2 Win over YSU
By Rachel Buck (@GBRachel)
DAYTON, Ohio (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The top-seeded Green Bay softball team received production from nearly its entire lineup and starter Ashley Nannemann (Burlington, Wis.) limited the Youngstown State batters to just two hits as the Phoenix opened the Horzion League Tournament with a 5-2 win over the fourth-seeded Penguins on Wednesday evening in Dayton.
Green Bay outhit Youngstown State, 12-2, and saw all but one player record a hit in the contest as it improved to 25-12 on the season. The team will now face Valparaiso on Friday at 10 a.m. CST in the next round of action. Valparaiso advanced with wins over UIC and Wright State earlier in the day.
It was a big fourth inning that broke the game open for the Phoenix, as it drove in four runs on six hits to take the lead. Senior Shannon Butts (Greenfield, Wis.) led off the inning with a single before sister Stacey popped up on a bunt attempt for the first out. However, back-to-back singles by freshman Kaitlyn Huemmer (Sun Prairie, Wis.) and junior Miranda Spangberg (Wausau, Wis.) loaded the bases for DP Abby Brinkmeier (Eagan, Minn.), who cleared the bases with a double to the gap in right center to put the Phoenix lead at 3-0.
The Phoenix again loaded the bases with singles from sophomore Kelli Hutchinson (Trevor, Wis.) and junior Hailey Mohrfeld (Menomonee Falls, Wis.) before senior Miranda Reinke (Milwaukee, Wis.) reached on an RBI fielder's choice that allowed the final run of the inning to score.
A leadoff home run by Youngstown State's Samantha Snodgrass got the Penguins on the board, 4-1, in the top of the fifth inning. The team added one more run in top of the sixth, putting two runners in scoring position for Katie Smallcomb who delivered an RBI groundout to cut the Phoenix advantage in half, 4-2.
Green Bay got one of those runs back in the home half of the sixth, putting runners on the corners with two out for sophomore Marissa Michalkiewicz (Appleton, Wis.) who singled to left and put the Phoenix lead at 5-2.
Nannemann threw her 10th complete game of the season to improve to 9-7 on the season. She held the Penguins to just two hits while allowing two runs (one earned) with two strikeouts and three walks.
Shannon Butts finished the day 3-for-4 at the plate, while Brinkmeier was 1-for-2 with three RBI.

Carlos A. Zarate, M.D., a NARSAD Independent Investigator Grantee (2005), has pioneered revolutionary studies that have led to novel treatments for mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder that begin working much faster than previous options. With a strong focus on the pathophysiology of severe mental illnesses, his goal is to develop better treatments particularly for patients living with depression, bipolar disorder and/or other mood disorders. His research into a drug called Ketamine has resulted in rapid-acting depression treatments that work within hours and last 3-5 days or more. Because of the speed at which this drug reacts within the body and the duration of its effects, it is possible that emergency room doctors may have a possible treatment for those suffering from depression and acute suicidality.

I do not use internet sources for teaching materials, since it gets a waste of time in order to find a good one. But here let's write the sites and the context of it or for what reason it will be useful. We can even write down the dictionaries that we use most!
I hope we can all benefit from it.

For what lol so the get ripped on the next day...dose anyone know how we can keep them put longer or even know what do put over them so they dont get ripped off so easy???
Think Ink.
newsstands, mailboxes, gte boxes... best place to find or stick stickers... they will never get torn off that ive seen inless someone has beef with you. Phone booths are aiight here and backdoors of buisnesses stay up a little bit.. Electrical boxes on sides of buildings, and light poles in the middle of medians in the street never get ripped off either. But thats dallas. An easy way to keep em stuck up is to get one of those glue pens with the felt tip or roller tip load it full with wallpaper glue slap and mark over it with trhat wall paper glue... Shit stays good maybe after a few months the glue will get weatherbeaten and disappear but most of the time they stay up.

When some people think of detoxification, they think of a specific regimen they follow to get rid of the toxins or wastes that have built up over time in their body. But the truth is, our bodies are amazing! It goes about it's business of detoxing constantly without any help from us. Every time we take a breath, urinate, have a bowel movement or even cry, our bodies are getting rid of waste. Our various bodily systems target the toxins and eliminate them in remarkable ways.
Given the world we live in – with all of its environmental poisons, prescription drugs, polluted air supply, heavy metals, antibiotics contaminating even the water we drink and use for bathing – it's no wonder I hear patients report they are feeling tired, achy and just not themselves. These unnatural toxins, which we're exposed to us on a daily basis, can overwhelm our bodies, especially our liver and lymphatic systems. This in turn disrupts our hormonal balance. No wonder we don't feel up to par. We're fighting to just keep clean!
Let's look further at this together. Your body has a remarkable way to take care of healing itself, with your support. You can help to boost your body's natural detoxification processes and in turn feel refreshed and rejuvenated. Detoxing helps your mental focus, improves digestive processes, and promotes clear skin. It's not an overwhelming or lengthy process. It's one of the easiest steps you can take to dramatically improve how you feel.
We can help answer your questions about detoxification. Our resources give you a closer look at the lymphatic system and show you can incorporate an easy two-week detox process. We also have several other ideas on how to prevent toxins from threatening your wellness. You can come to know your own body's rhythms and how nature meant for it to cleanse itself. You can feel at home in your own body!

' "I don't know if you'd call it swagger," said Marcus Foligno, whose play has sparked the team's fortunes. "I've only been around here for 10 days or so, so I don't have the basis to compare what it was like around here earlier this year. I can say that this team has the confidence to do just about anything. We know what we need to do. But as excited as everyone here is right now, we haven't won anything yet, and there is work to be done. The minute we lose focus of that is when things will become unhinged, and in a hurry."'

My name is Russ. I am a fan of the Mandalorian culture and obviously Boba Fett is my favorite Star Wars character second only to an Ewok. And ESB is my all time favorite movie of both trilogies and that is second only to The Phantom Menace. I kid... No seriously, I was joking. Anyways, I am inspired by what the 501st do and I guess I was living in a "cave" full of Mynoks for many moons. So of course I want to get a canon ESB Armor so I can join the Guild. I have sent a couple messages to Fettpride.com via Facebook cause I heard he is the best at what he does. But if anyone has suggestions on another US based maker then by all means feel free to let me know. I am also on Mando Mercs and have the resources to get all the soft parts and had even asked a guy who made metal armor but he was kind enough to tell me its not thick enough for 501st standards and Bobamaker would be pretty expensive being shipped from the UK. Im a strong guy and would sport metal armor all day long but seems pvc is the armor material thats best suited. Cool by me... so again any other suggestions would be appreciated.
And in the future, it may not be 501st passable, but I would love to slowly start building my own armor in the form of Canderous Ordo. Hes a pretty gnarly dude even if he is off a video game.
Anyways, nice to meet the lot of you fellow hunters.

Obama's nomination of Sotomayor to the Supreme Court has brought to the forefront the issue of affirmative action, both because she, a Hispanic woman, was chosen and as it relates to her court decisions and statements. In light of the nomination, I have thought and talked more than ever about the issue of affirmative action and have decided to address the issue here and open up the comments section and PG Polls for each of you to share your view.
I've always viewed affirmative action as a temporal issue. By that I mean that, like most policy problems, it is not black and white, and furthermore, that it is a matter of timing. The day after blacks were emancipated from the tragedy of slavery in America, they certainly needed a boost to assimilate into the already advanced white society and economic market. At some later point, affirmative action becomes counterproductive and detrimental to its own ends of racial equality.
Affirmative action, without question, accentuates and perpetuates division based on the color of one's skin. The more we artificially elevate or suppress opportunity for a person based on race, the more we highlight color differences, foster resentment and cheat equality. Any special treatment, positive or negative, someone receives based on nothing more than the color of his or her skin is quite literally racist and not the ideal for America. The ideal is for there to be no material differentiation between people based on the color of their skin. As an aside, I believe the "melting pot" that is the United States affords us a wonderful opportunity to celebrate and learn from diverse cultures, races and ethnicities. I do not believe we should ever be "color blind." That is unrealistic and undesirable. We all benefit from people who are different from us and rightly celebrate our shared heritage with those who are similar. However, there is a stark difference between celebrating disparate races and scoring a person differently based solely on skin color.
As I said, I believe affirmative action was necessary after slavery and at some point becomes detrimental and wrong. Now, whether that "tipping point" has been reached or is still some point in the future is a matter of honest debate. I do not pretend to have the answer; however, I suspect we are not quite there yet. To be clear, based on my experience, I believe affirmative action is still appropriate in certain circumstances but is growing less so. A friend of mine, arguing against affirmative action, pointed to the election of President Obama as proof that the ultimate end of affirmative action had been reached and thus it is no longer necessary. Leaving politics aside for the moment, the election of Barack Obama was an inspiration to the entire world and a huge step toward racial equality in this nation. The intangible impact of a black man taking the oath of office in a nation where 146 years before such a man may have been a slave is enormous. However, it is not necessarily indicative of the end game in racial equality. Equality will have been achieved when over a 100 or 200 year span the proportion of black presidents approximately reflects the proportion of blacks in society. Barack Obama is a remarkable man who has accomplished a first; however, I'm not sure that means we can honestly expect those proportions to equalize without a little more boosting of previously suppressed minorities.
The impact of Obama's election illustrates one of what I see as the three major justifications of affirmative action. A black man serving as president, or CEO or doctor serves to shatter glass ceilings that children of the same race may have believed existed, giving them hope that they too can reach for the highest levels of position and success, even to be the most powerful person in the world. When later generations are not constrained by the weight of what has never been done before, they will reach higher and achieve more, further equalizing the races, erasing the opportunity and achievement gap and moving the nation towards a time when the color of one's skin says nothing about who the person will grow to be and need not be considered in getting them there. For proof of this point, I look no further than the new hip hop song by Maino entitled All The Above. In the song, Maino says, "This what the ghetto done made me; I put that on my father. Tryna hope for tomorrow. When I think that I can't, I envision Obama."
Second, all parties benefit from an educational environment that is diverse in ideas, talents, backgrounds and race. My education at Duke was much richer for living with and learning from people of different races and cultures. Admissions officers at Duke have told me that Duke, like most universities, practices affirmative action in making admissions decisions. To the extent that practice enriched the diversity of my experience and thus quality of my education, I am glad they do.
Third, in professions such as law and medicine, it can be important that the demographics of the practitioners reflect that of the general population. This is principally a matter of trust, and trust is crucial between a patient and doctor. By and large, people are more trusting of those they see as similar to themselves, yes, even in terms of race.
The issue of affirmative action has of coursed come before the Supreme Court numerous times. Chief Justice John Roberts said in 2007 that, "The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race." In 2003, writing the majority opinion for a Supreme Court case on the constitutionality of racial preferences in university admissions, Sandra Day O'Connor said, "We expect that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today."
In conclusion, I believe affirmative action is unarguably unfair on the individual level (to the white applicant who is rejected to allow for a minority's acceptance) but is beneficial to society as a whole both today and into the future. A world where the most qualified applicants are people of a variety of races is better than a world in which all of the most qualified applicants are white. I, like most Americans, agree with Martin Luther King that people should "not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." I look forward to the day when all glass ceilings are broken and affirmative action is abolished forever.
Please comment and vote in the new polls on the site: Do you agree that affirmative action is a temporal issue? Do you believe affirmative action should be practiced today?
What I've come to realize with the health care debate is that where you stand depends on where you sit, sort of. More accurately than where you sit, it is where your focus and chief concern is. My point is this, if you have or most care about people who have satisfactory health care then you vigorously oppose socialized medicine for all of the reasons Danalee and the Wall Street Journal have articulated. If you can't afford or most care about people who can't afford health care under the current system then you may support any means to extend coverage universally, even through a single payer system, despite and regardless of what aggregate cost such a plan would have on the system as a whole, especially those who can now afford care. As with so many policy problems, where you stand depends on where you sit."

Maybe so, but you should still be proud that for that short time, your controller managed to bring so much business to orthopedic surgeons.
I would get this in a heartbeat if I wasn't certain my evil washer would eat half the letters by the fourth washing. Also if I wasn't broke. Awesome shirt.
dcroe05 wrote:I like this in theory, but this is muddled.
The skull is associated with the "Alas, poor Yorrick" speech. But the text here is the "To be, or not to be" speech.
Word. It's a really wonderful idea for a shirt, but as a theatre nerd, I just can't let this slide.
Everyone's just always picking on Arkansas aren't they? And now you Woot? After all the service I've given you? Ouch. You cut me real deep, Woot. REAL deep.
I've never seen this design before, especially not in the reckoning.
Billy Madison came to mind... not sure why.
Didn't even hesitate before buying. major Hamlet fanboy.

That is why when washing printed shirts, you turn them *inside out*. Nothing to rub off, that way and for the bachelors in the audience, it makes a convenient 'is this clean' system. Also, Woot's shirts are fairly durable as far as printing goes.
Very nice fellow Utah resident, ^5
xoring wrote:Not as awesome as Nevermore. I will not be buying this one.
There's no need to be so harsh. Gosh.
I'd only buy this if it was Sean Connery holding it.
Was expecting a flood of turkeys for the week and awoke to this
bluejester wrote:...or you could say Wear this shirt: If you are an English Literature Major who is currently working retail. Hey, those groceries aren't going to sell themselves you know!
As an English Major, I resent this. I only worked retail for six years before moving on to bigger and better things....shipping retail...
Also, I see no disconnect between the skull and the speech...he's contemplating death. The real question is, if I eat nothing but ramen between now and Christmas, can I afford this shirt?
Congrats on another fine tee, Adam.
irockash wrote:I'd only buy this if it was Sean Connery holding it.
I'd settle for Patrick Stewart.
abramokids wrote:Is Nevermore not selling well enough?
It's selling fine. That's why this one was made.
I am ordering one simply to annoy those "artistic" shirt lovers who hate Nevermore.
I placed my order not so much for the shirt, but for the DESCRIPTION of the shirt. (I admit, this has happened to me before.) For those of you hung up on the To-be speech's placement on Yorick's face, go back and read the play again. The skull works in the gravedigger scene BECAUSE Hammy has been mucking around in mortality issues throughout the entire play. I have no problem using the skull as a backdrop for suicidal contemplation.
Ser o no ser, he ahí el dilema!
Congrats ApeLad!
"If you put 1,000 monkeys at 1,000 typewriters, eventually they'd type all of Hamlet. They'd also look silly in T-shirts."
- famous quotes extended
All work and no play make Jack a dull thespian.
Where is TGentry? I need some cherry picked numbers to explain how shirt.woot is actually diverse and doesn't print the same stuff over and over again.
Oh, would this be inappropriate to buy for a five year old girl? What if said girl was reciting Hamlet before she was four?
Why yes I am raising the world's tiniest Shakespeare geek. Someone had to.
I wish there were medical.woot.com so I could buy a real surplus human skull!
chrisprender wrote:All work and no play make Jack a dull thespian.
Well, if there's no play, he isn't really a thespian at all...
The one thing I don't like about this design is that some of the words go off the edge of the skull. Yes, they could be shadows, but then there would have to be more, especially at the very bottom.
Otherwise, nicely done. Bets on how long this will stay in the Reckoning?
chessasaur wrote:They could have just charged my card and mailed me the shirt without even telling me. It's that good.
This goes for me too. One of the best designs Woot has had in a while.
I would buy it but I am worried about the text fading. I looked into getting the Nevermore shirt and apparently it was a major problem to the extent people bought more than one shirt so they could switch to a new one when the words faded out.
Quasiskunk wrote:Yurick never looked so good! And I knew him.
But evidently just acquiantences since you don't know his name...good thing he's not alive to see this.
Mel Gibson would approve - if you want to be associated with Mel Gibson! - as, in his film portrayal of Hamlet, he performs the "To be or not to be" soliloquy in catacombs, near his dead father.
It's a revolution. Soon enough the reckoning will just be text-image shirts. Forcing people to read pictures. The world is mad.
I'm sorry, but this shirt slightly angers me. It is the wrong imagery with the wrong text. I'm sure many people know it, but many don't and it just further solidifies the miss-conception.
Like a morbid fusion of Nevermore and Celtic Skull.
Do all skulls look like that or did Hamlet chop the top off?
xninjagrrl wrote:I'd settle for Patrick Stewart.
I wouldn't call that settling
sacrerouge wrote:I wouldn't call that settling
Alrighty then, Make it so...
morsmordre wrote:Word. It's a really wonderful idea for a shirt, but as a theatre nerd, I just can't let this slide.
The skull is fine. It looks cool, and it's another hamlet reference--it doesn't have to be the SAME reference. I think it adds another level of depth to the idea. And you can't complain that it's not the whole thing--a quote is a quote, if you want the whole thing, read the whole play.
What I DON'T like is the punctuation. Maybe it's taken from some later revision, but it's so different from both the First Folio and the Second Quarto that it's enough to change the rhythm and alter the meaning. But again--you buy the shirt to wear it, you buy the play to read it.
That said, if I had the dough, I'd definitely buy this shirt, because it's flat out dope.

You sir(or ma'am), have made my day.
congrats on the print apelad! kind of a rags to riches story with you and printing at woot. Only 4-5 months ago you were concerned about how dailies were being picked and printed and not yours and you have since found so much success. I guess dreams do come true!

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by basketbills, Feb 10, 2014.
Wait, what?
This is a shortened version, watching it during the game was much creepier. (I hope this makes it, I am posting it at work where I can't see these things.)
If you look closely, you can see his lips mumbling the words to the national anthem. He wasn't hitting on them per se, but if there were two dudes there, he would not have sat in that chair.
Probably just making sure they are familiar with the area. You guys really make a big deal out of nothing.
Turns out that was gores' niece. Woops.
If I recall correctly, the girls got those two guys sitting behind them to move into the empty seats so he wouldn't sit there anymore.
Ernie is correct.... a review of the tape shows that the two guys behind the ladies were sitting in those seats for the remainder of the game. If the ladies were indeed relatives of Mr. Gores, then they may have given him feed back on his persona and how he was coaching the team. From this point in the game, the Pistons were outscored 34-18 and blew another 4th quarter lead losing the game 106-99.
Why do we think these chicks are related to Gores?
wahah, no seriously, why?
Blue eye shadow, gives them away every time.
Kyle Singler's gotta be on suicide watch right now.
You didn't notice their head tilts?
The two chicks ladies look depressed in the still shot. They might be friends of Gores Dumards Cheeks Stuckey Billups Jennings... oh heck, they could be just employees of the Pistons, in marketing and their salaries depend on Piston wins.
It's possible they were undercover coaching guru's doing a little spying and reporting back to Gores.
Separate names with a comma.

LEWISTON, N.Y. — The Canisius women's basketball team gave up 15 second-chance points on 13 offensive rebounds and Niagara shot 10-for-17 from behind the arc as the Golden Griffins lost 69-60 to the rival Purple Eagles at the Gallagher Center on Wednesday night.
Sophomore Tiahana Mills led Canisius with 12 points to go along with seven assists, the seventh time this year Mills has had six or more assists in a game. Three Golden Griffins — senior Jamie Ruttle, redshirt junior Courtney VandeBovenkamp and junior Kayla Hoohuli — each scored nine points with Hoohuli pulling down a season-high seven rebounds.
"After Niagara's hot start, it felt like we were battling uphill all night," Canisius coach Terry Zeh said. "I felt we let their top outside shooters get too many good looks at the basket, and they did what good shooters do by knocking them down."
Niagara made its first four shots from the field and jumped out to a quick 12-6 lead just over four minutes into the game. Canisius wasn't able to get free from the outside and attacked Niagara inside, with 10 of the Griffs' first 12 points coming in the paint. Niagara led 27-21 after a 3-pointer from Meghan McGuinness, the sixth 3-pointer of the half for the Purple Eagles.
Canisius (8-13, 4-8 MAAC) held Niagara scoreless for the rest of the half, with the fourth basket of the half from Mills making it 27-25 at the break. The Griffs overcame 1-for-7 shooting from behind the arc in the opening 20 minutes by going 11-for-19 on two-point shots.
Canisius took its first lead of the game on a bucket one minute into the second half from Ruttle. Niagara regained control with a quick five-point spurt and used a 3-pointer from the corner from McGuinness to go up 34-30, a lead the Purple Eagles never relinquished. The Griffs trailed by nine before getting 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions from freshman Lauren D'Hont to make it a three-point game.
Niagara (7-13, 5-6 MAAC) would use a 9-3 run to go up 56-45 after a basket from Victoria Rampado with just over six minutes left. The Griffs cut the lead in half with a 3-pointer from senior Jen Morabito and two free throws from VandeBovenkamp and trailed 56-51 with four minutes left. The Griffs forced a miss on the the Niagara next possession, but McGuinness grabbed an offensive rebound and drained two free throws to start a 6-0 run that put the game away.
McGuinness led all players with 22 points while Chanel Johnson had 14 points. McGuinness and Val McQuade combined for eight 3-pointers as Niagara shot 10-for-17 from behind the arc.
Canisius returns to the court on Friday, Feb. 7, when the Golden Griffins face Niagara for the second time in 10 days. Game time at the Koessler Athletic Center is set for 4 p.m., with the game being shown live on ESPN3.
Notes: Wednesday was the 83rd all-time meeting between the two rivals... Niagara's win was the first time in five meetings that the home team won in the series... The seven games with six or more assists by Mills ranks as the second-highest total by a Golden Griffin in the last 10 years... Hoohuli made a 3-pointer for the 20th time this season, the highest total in the MAAC... Canisius scored a season-high 22 points off turnovers... Niagara's 3-point field goal percentage of 58.8 was the highest by a Canisius opponent this season... Canisius now holds an 8-7 lead in the Battle of the Bridge all-sports competition between the schools

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The University of North Carolina track and field teams garnered six individual wins or top collegiate spots on across three meets on Saturday as the Tar Heels faced their first day of competition apart as they hosted the Gene Anderson Invitational, continued their successes at the Armory Collegiate Invitational and showed strength in distance at the JDL Invitational.
At home at the Gene Anderson Invitational, Sarah Howard continued her strides in her freshman season as she threw a season-best 51-0 (15.54 meters) in the women's shot put to win the event.
Chris DiLorenzo won the men's shot put with a throw 57-0 ¾ (17.39 meters). It was DiLorenzo's best throw since returning from ACL surgery.
AJ Hicks won the men's weight throw with a hurl of 59-6 ¾ (18.15 meters) and placed second in the men's shot put with a throw of 55-4 ½ (16.87 meters). In the women's weight throw, Avana Story threw 55-11 (17.04 meters) to be the third-best collegiate in the final tally.
Romar Morris made his way into the UNC school records in his first outing on the track as he ran a fifth-best all-time 6.85 in the preliminary round of the men's 60 meters. Morris finished second in the final.
Sami Jorgensen won the women's 3,000 with her time of 10:04.25. She was followed by Caroline O'Hea in fourth in 10:36.59.
Macon Gambill was the top collegiate in the men's mile as he raced a collegiate best 4:17.78. Mike Jacobs was the fourth-ranked collegiate in the mile with his time of 4:20.64.
Tory Kemp placed third in the women's 60-meter hurdles in her season-best time of 8.81.
At the Armory Collegiate Invitational in New York, Elizabeth Whelan and Marisa Dobbins finished one-two in the women's college 800. Whelan ran in a personal best 2:10.44 and Dobbins in 2:11.09.
"We had a good day here in New York," said assistant coach Mark VanAlstyne from the Armory Collegiate, "Opening the morning with a win and second place in the women's college 800 meters was great for us. Lizzy Whelan won and looked very good while doing it. I was impressed with Marsia closing well to earn that second-place spot late."
The men's 4x400 relay placed second in the college division in 3:17.34.
Chrishawn Williams placed second in the women's college triple jump with a distance of 40-4 ¼ (12.30 meters).
Lianne Farber placed second in the women's championship mile, racing 4:40.19. Annie LeHardy followed suit in fifth place with her 4:46.78, a personal best four seconds better than her PR set at the Hokie Invitational last weekend. Karley Rempel placed 10th in 4:47.60. In the men's mile championship, Patrick Schellberg placed 11th amongst the elite milers in the country with his time of 4:10.68.
"We showed good instinct. We raced hard, put up a fight, and improved," added Coach VanAlstyne, "Overall it felt like we made progress. The most important thing is we continued to compete hard and fight at crucial points in the races and good results came out of it."
In Winston-Salem, N.C., at the JDL Invitational, Isaac Presson placed sixth in the men's elite mile with his time of 4:07.97. Steve Magnuson won the men's mile clocking in at 4:11.13.
"There was a rabbit in [Isaac's] race to set the pace at about 1:58 flat. There were four collegiate and four pros in the race and the rabbit kept a fast pace for them," said assistant coach Angela Reckart, "It was a great race, a great scenario, a great set-up, and a great experience for Isaac. It may have been a little fast for him at this point in the season but we're pleased with his fitness and confident in his first outing in the mile this season."
"Steve won his heat and took the lead with about 400 [meters] to go and was able to hang on," added Coach Reckart, "We're really pleased with his performance and are excited to get back to work and keep working towards ACCs and the national meet."
The Tar Heels are back in action next weekend as they head west to the Nebraska Invitational on Saturday, February 9th, and the Husky Classic on February 8-9th.

Its bad enough going to a concert and wondering who all these old blokes are that look familiar but have grey hair.its interesting to note, my generation does not see the need to dye its hair, but baseball caps make you bald by the tuime your 30 it seems!
The acquired features are testaments to your life. Wear them proudly.
My wife went with me and got "the scoop" from all the girls, and Cindi and Ann, you will like this, they told my wife I was very nice to them, always pleasant, but a brat!!! Can you believe that horse nonesense??? grin
The whole affair was very surreal. Some of my mates looked exactly the same, some didn't fare so well.
My class of 74 has reunions, but I can't be bothered. I didn't hang out with any of them when I was in high school, why would I start now? Funny thing is I still look like I did in high school, people recognize me all the time, but I can't remember them at all. They're all much older than me, anyways! :evil:

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I learned to sail on an H16 with no experience. I can rig and right one solo. Granted I am not a small guy (6'2" 230lbs when I owned the boat) but there are several inexpensive aids (righting line) and some easy to learn techniques to right them. $1000 - $2000 will buy you a decent used one. The Hobie forum is very helpful (wish they were around when I started sailing) and almost anywhere you see boats someone has sailed an H16 so getting help and advice is easy.
I plan to get one for my daughter when she is old enough... OK it's for me too. I think it helped me become a better mono sailor since I had to fully understand sail trim and think ahead of the boat or uncomfortable things would happen.
The best part is the thrill of flying a hull while trapping out. You just don't get that feeling on any mono dinghy.
If you decide to go for a used H16, pm me and I will be glad to share some advice on what to look for. Also, take a look at the hobie forum and they will be glad to help. I find beach cat sailors to be the most friendly and helpful around. I even saw experience racers helping a rookie to tune his boat.
|We went to Belize, and the resort had Hobie Waves available for visitors to use. They're simple, relatively cheap, and pretty difficult to damage. Belize is built on coral, and repairing anything takes months, not weeks, so they have to have things that will hold up to abuse from careless guests. My background in Solings made me disappointed by the performance, but that's the tradeoff. Those suggesting a Hobie 16 are headed in a performance direction, but what are you going to do when your guest zips off five miles before he capsizes and starts drifting towards Cozumel, just when you've mixed the marqueritas?
I have sailed the Wave, Getaway and the Hobie 16 out of the sailing center I am a member of. Based on your implication that the people sailing the boat will not likely get into sailing, the Wave is probably the best choice of the three.
Wave: Simple to rig and sail and it can easily handle three adults or two adults and two children. I have seen two kids capsize this boat (160# total crew weight,) but it is generally very difficult to put this boat on its side. If someone develops even a remote interest in sailing well, (s)he will quickly get frustrated with the boat's lack of sail adjustments.
Getaway: Also easy to rig, but as you surmised it's too heavy for one person to manhandle on the beach. The mainsheet traveller allows for better sail control, and multiple clew positions allows you to tune the sails for different wind conditions (and of course you can always furl the jib if things get harry or only one person will be sailing.) I capsized once and found the boat impossible to right by myself but two could right it easily.
Hobie 16: This boat is much faster than either of the other two and more technical with jib sheet block tracks, battons in the jib, and an outhaul on the main. I'd hesitate to allow a beginner to sail this boat alone. I haven't capsized this one so I can't say much about it in that regard.
While I can't agree that that all of the posters suggesting Hobies...
had sailed before; I suspect many of them, myself included learned on a Hobie 16 (a Prindle 16 was my first boat, not counting a 2 hour rental on a Sunfish).
That said, I'm not sure cats are a good choice in general. If there isn't enough wind to power them up--and they don't come to life until you can get one hull light in the water--they aren't much fun. If there is enough wind, they are really for people who want to sail with gusto.
I would start asking about small monohulls, like the Laser and Sunfish; they are popular for good reasons. I would NOT be comfortable letting a non-cat sailor borrow a beach cat on a breezy day. Most rentals shut down if there is enough wind (more than 10 knots) to be interesting.
Better yet, have then sail on the intracoastal side. They've no business on the Gulf or Ocean unless they KNOW they can right the boat.
I should have read the OP more closely.
all of the advice to get an H16 comes from people who already know how to sail. I too like the 16's better but they are bad boats for a complete beginner. They WILL overpower them. They WILL capsize them. They WILL have trouble getting them upright again.
I got a Hobie Wave for the visitors at my house for three reasons
1. Though you cant repair plastic, it is pretty nearly bulletproof and wont need repairs. I have had a wave for 5 years and it is pretty near impossible to break the plastic hulls. Believe me, my teenage son and his friends tried and if it were easy they would have done it.
2. It is very forgiving for new sailors. No boom means they can't kill themselves (unlike an H16 or the others like it) and it is hard to capsize - it has more buoyancy than the fiberglass boats do. There is a good reason that this is the boat the resorts rent out.
3. It is fast. Maybe not as fast as a 16 but plenty fast for a beginner (or for me most of the time) with the added benefit that a Wave can go out in winds that would keep the 16's on the beach. It is an inherently safer boat.
As for righting it, get a collapsible canvas bucket to add weight.
And do get beach wheels. You will want them. A getaway would be impossible without and a wave difficult.
and if it were up to me, i would get two waves instead of one getaway. then you can race!
Personally, I lost all respect for Hobie when they switched from catamarans to ...
... beach toys. Although I may change my tune if I can find a ride on a Wildcat. What I saw looked very intersting.
Buy a used 16, 17, or 18. Much better sailors. Or for that matter a Prindle 16 will be lighter and easier to haul (320 pounds).
Beach wheels work if it is pretty level and flat. Otherwise, with 2 people they can manage a lot.
Whether they are hard to right depends on many variables; weather (actually easier when it's blowing), size of the person, the boat, and whether the mast gets water in it. All are simple with 2 people. I like the Hobie 17 or the Prindle 16 for ease by a single sailor (160 pound minimum).

I owned both H16's and an H18 before buying my lead sled. I also did demo sails and new owner training for the Getaway. Go for the H16. You can have3 adults (thogh very crowded) on it, it sails fast, there are thousands of used ones waiting for some one to buy them, and they can take a beating. I like the fiberglass hulls better because you can repair any damage that may happen and they do not flex as much as the rotomolded hulls. Hobie crosslinks the plastic in the hull mold for the Getaway. This means that you will not be able to heat or chemically weld any more material to the hulls. So, if you have a big gouge in the hull, you will not be able to repair it. Getaways are heavy for thier size compared to the H16 or the H18. With the H16 if it is windy enough to capsize it is windy enough to right the boat solo. On a dolly the H16 is very easy to move up and down the beach. The H18 is tough to pull up a beach on a dolly. I am a sizeable guy at 6'2" and 260lbs and I had trouble over long distances.
In summary I say the H16 because it is affordable, fun, easy to sail single handed or with two others on board, and they are solid boats.
Live Sex Webshows
The rotomolded hulls are generally tougher, but if they get a hole, they are irreparable. I don't know all the science involved, but repairs won't stick to the plastic used for those hulls. The local Hobie rental outfit near me switched to the 16 for lessons, but he still does use Waves for rentals.

Respiratory Care Program Overview
The accredited Respiratory Care Practitioner program has been expanded at Seattle Central. New students will receive a Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree in Allied Health with an emphasis in Respiratory Care. Once prerequisites are met, students start the program in spring quarter and take classes in sequence. Students can start support classes at any time in preparation for the spring quarter track.
After 90 credits, students will receive an Associate of Applied Science (AAS–T) degree in Allied Health and will then continue working toward a BAS Degree, which requires an additional 90 credits. In addition to classroom and laboratory instruction, students get real–life clinical experience at local health care facilities.
Respiratory Care Practitioners work with other health care professionals to treat patients with cardiopulmonary disorders. This may include the use of medical gases, medications, aerosols, lung drainage, ventilatory support, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, airway management, respiratory disease management and diagnostic testing.
The track meets Respiratory Care Practitioner licensure requirements of Washington state, and is fully accredited by the Committee on Accreditation for Respiratory Care. Upon completion of the BAS program, students will be prepared to take the Advanced Practitioner Exam given by the National Board for Respiratory Care.
BAS degree in Allied Health—Respiratory Care—180 credits
- Students begin the Respiratory Care track in spring quarter only; prerequisites can start any quarter.
- Becoming a Respiratory Care Practitioner might be a good fit if you enjoy science and are interested in helping patients with heart/lung disorders. Practitioners work under the direction of a physician as part of a health care team.
- Areas of study include human anatomy, physiology, applied microbiology, chemistry and a wide array of courses in respiratory care.
- Respiratory Care Practitioners generally work in acute care hospitals, sub–acute and skilled nursing facilities, medical clinics, research, rehabilitation facilities and home health care. They also may choose to work in education and sales.
- By 2016, the Bureau of Labor and Statistics projects a 23% increase in employment for Respiratory Care Practitioners.

Six-Strand "Caribbean Amber" Jewelry Set
Item #46825S
Price: $120.00
- Description
- Reviews
Translucent romance, the Six-Strand Caribbean Amber Jewelry Set showcase the dazzling beauty of "Caribbean amber"—a gorgeous replication of rare fluorescent green Dominican amber, painstakingly created from Columbian copal by Lithuanian jewelers. The decorative filament necklace is secured with a lobster claw clasp. The teardrop dangles feature French wires. Natural variations will occur. Necklace, 17.5"l.; Pierced Earrings, 0.875"l.
Museum Provenance
Though 40-60 million-year-old Baltic amber is renowned for its glowing beauty, younger 20-40 million-year-old Dominican amber is prized for its stunning fluorescent blues and greens evocative of the Caribbean Sea. Saluting this rare translucent beauty, Lithuanian jewelers developed a complex and expensive process to replicate its stunning green hue. Made from younger Mesoamerican amber, or copal, the dazzling result is making its Smithsonian debut in this extraordinary collection—each piece a magnificent reflection of the numerous amber specimens, beads, carvings and jewelry held in our National Museum of Natural History's Janet Annenberg Hooker Hall of Geology, Gems and Minerals.
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.

I was hunting the Coastal Zone in NJ this past week and on Monday it was cold with plenty of ice. The guide and I were in the process of moving to a new spot, when we came around a turn in the channel and some Seagulls took off from the water. As the one Seagull flew I noticed he dropped something and it landed on the ice. After pointing it out to the guide he motored over and broke thru the ice with the boat so I could pick it up. It was a duck, but only had the wings and legs attached. the breast and head were picked clean. The legs were barely hanging on and wouldn't you know it had a leg band on! It was a very old band and the numbers were still visible. It said,"Avise F & G Wildlife Service." The leg was hanging on by a little skin, so I pulled it off and put it in my pocket. That evening the guide invited me over to his house for dinner. After much soul searching I decided to give the band to him. It was his boat and his marsh and I did nothing to earn the band. Needless to say he accepted.
Now we had trouble identifying the duck cause it only had the wings to go by. Of course he will get the info back on the certificate for the positive ID, but maybe you can help with the ID by the picture till he gets the info.
Here is the pics of what was left of it.

Arts Around Town: Heroes of the Civil War: Kent Courtney at Kutztown Folk Festival
The Kutztown Folk Festival marks the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War this year during its nine-day run, beginning Saturday through July 8, at the Kutztown Fairgrounds as host to a special road show exhibit detailing the Pennsylvania Dutch involvement. Sharing the stage as he brings actual experiences of soldiers and civilians of the time to life through music will be New Orleans native and Hanover resident Kent Courtney, who comes to the festival for the first time.
Now in its 63rd year of celebrating the Pennsylvania Dutch culture, festival organizers saw only fit to include the milestone anniversary in its programming by featuring the "Pennsylvanians and the Civil War" road show, with experts available on topics of the Pennsylvania Dutch involvement, medical practices during the war, Calvary tactics, quilts which served as directional signs for the Underground Railroad, and the life of an infantryman. Also slated are a reenactment encampment, Calvary horses, and a private collection of Civil War artifacts never before made public.
As a musician, Courtney will be performing authentic Civil War era tunes. Dave Fooks, executive director of the festival, said Courtney will be performing and interacting with visitors pretty much all day, every day, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., right in the middle of the Civil War road show area.
"With the exception of lunch and an occasional short break, people won't miss Courtney," Fooks said. "He's a person who truly loves what he does and for that, he didn't want scheduled time slots."
Fooks said it was the festival's history advisor, Dr. Dave Valuska, who recommended Courtney as "the only person who can do a credible job performing Civil War era music, both battlefield and civilian, as well as be able to discourse in length actual experiences of soldiers and civilians of the time, based upon his extensive research."
Courtney has received national media coverage for his dramatic multi-media format and interpretations of Irish, Scottish, English, Nordic and French folk music. He plays the mandolin, guitar, drums, harmonica, accordion, recorder and banjo. He's performed regionally at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire. He's also the author of "Returning to the Civil War, Grand Reenactments of an Anguished Time."
Courtney frequently appears on The History Channel and has been heard or seen on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Good Morning America," The Travel Channel, BBC, PBS, A&E, CNN, C-SPAN, and National Public Radio. He said he appeared on The History Channel 72 times in July 2011, in repeated programming that marked the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. He recently appeared as Terrence Mullens, one of the conspirators, in The History Channel's "Stealing Lincoln's Body." Mullens was one of many who, in 1876, tried to take Abraham Lincoln's body out of his mausoleum in Springfield, Ill., and hold it for ransom.
In The History Channel's "April 1865," Courtney portrayed General Breckenridge who, as Secretary of War, surrendered the Confederacy to General William T. Sherman. He also played the concertina in a tavern in the opening scene of the PBS documentary, "Slavery and the Making of America," with Morgan Freeman. He said he's currently working on a music project in collaboration with New Age pianist/composer Kori Linae Carothers on the reading of letters written during the Civil War.
A graduate of the University of New Orleans with a concentration in geography, Courtney said he was always drawn to "old-time things and living history" and credits his father, a Civil War buff, who would bring him to historic battlefield sites and tell him stories of heroism and valor. His parents were musically inclined, he said, with his mother in the church choir and his father a "barbershopper." He grew up on the lyrics of Stephen Foster's "Camptown Races" and "Oh! Susanna," both Civil War favorites sung by his parents.
"Music of the past brings alive the consciousness of people," Courtney said. "There's a commonality of experience that's shared." With that, he said he hopes those who experience his music at the Kutztown Folk Festival "will feel a close kinship to America's past and closer to fellow man."

Music has gone to the birds for the Pennsylvania Sinfonia Orchestra, who has paired nature with classical music and come up with a "Musical Salon" fundraiser on Saturday, June 30 from 1 to 5 p.m., at the stately Allentown residence of Ken and Pam Burton of 2803 W. Chew St., Allentown.
The event will feature live chamber music by Sinfonia musicians while guests stroll through gardens on the grounds and hear gardening presentations that relate directly to the city's designation as an Audubon Bird Town. Local gardening and birding experts Claudia Steckel and Barbara Malt will describe how particular plants can promote backyard habitats that create food and shelter for birds and other fauna.
Steckel is a consultant to the Pennsylvania Land Trust for plant community and plant species surveys, a member of the Rose Garden Neighborhood Association (Park and Garden Committee) and owner of her own business, Botanical Inventory. Malt is vice president of the Lehigh Valley Audubon Society, and co-author of "Birds of the Lehigh Valley and Vicinity" (with Peter Saenger and Kevin Crilley). Both Steckel and Malt are active with Allentown's Friends of the Parks.
Talks are scheduled for 1:30, 2:30, 3:30 and 4:30 p.m., to alternate with music.
