Piratefest Day 1
Amy, Olivia and I headed down to the David L Lawrence Convention Center on Friday for the season ticket holder only portion of Piratefest.
The general public would have to wait until Saturday and Sunday to attend. As an added perk, since I had paid for my three season tickets in full, I was granted early access at 4 PM, two and a half hours before the rest of the season ticket holders are allowed in.
Therefore, when 4PM came, we walked in, and the few season ticket holders that were paid in full flocked to the autograph lines and the clubhouse store to take advantage of their 40% off coupons. It made the hall eerily empty.
By the way, Jeff Karstens was working scanning our tickets:
And Andrew McCutchen, James McDonald, and Neil Walker were working passing out the calendars to fans:
Our first stop was the Pirates Clubhouse store.
There I purchased a Pirates 2011 style BP hat for $14 with the VIP shopping coupon that was sent to me. The second stop was the authenticated merchandise area. There were lots of game used jerseys, balls, bats, line up cards, etc there.
Some of the merchandise was rather pricey. An Andrew McCutchen game used road jersey?
I considered buying a Herbie Andrade game used jersey to hopefully get the guy to like me again after seeing me switch shirts to the visiting team, but $125 seemed too expensive.
I did end up buying some game used merchandise. First, I bought a bag of four game used baseballs:
The balls were in a grab bag. Each ball was game used and has an authentication sticker on it with a hologram. I got a ball from Opening Day 2008 in Atlanta, a ball from the 2008 home opener, a ball from 2011 when Joel Hanrahan set a save record, and a Garrett Jones RBI base hit baseball from June 20 2011 vs Indians. Pretty cool, they've got to be worth more than the $5 each that I paid. At worst I was planning on peeling off the stickers and giving them away as decoy balls throughout the 2012 season.
Also, there were lineup cards from every game from the 2011 season. They were all in chronological order, so I flipped through and bought one from the day Olivia was born. She was actually born as the game was going on!
So, it will get framed and hang in her bedroom. It was only $25 by the way, not too bad.
There was a large Christmas tree in the middle of the convention center, but besides that, there weren't many Christmas decorations. It was all black and gold everywhere.
We took advantage of the low crowds to head over to the MVP zone, which is a season ticket holder only area with short lines. There we got autographs from:
Daniel McCutchen and Michael McKenry.
McCutchen recognized me and asked how many balls McKenry had thrown me. I told him 'none.' I also told him he threw one to me in 2011, albeit by accident, as it was a random flip up into the stands in Cleveland.
There was Alex Presley and Kevin Correia:
and Clint Barmes, Jose Tabata and Chris Resop. Joel Hanrahan was at the table too, but bailed about two minutes before I got up to the table.
We also stopped by the 2012 Promotional booth, where many of the give aways from the coming year are on display. There was a wall of shirts from Free Shirt Fridays:
And a closer look at the 12 shirts that will be given away:
First is a plain looking white tee shirt that's kind of boring, followed by a rather sharp black shirt.
There is a camo Pirates logo shirt and a generic gray shirt.
Two weird design shirts, one of silhouettes of Pirates players past and present, and another silhouette of Andrew McCutchen on a white shirt:
A gold Pirates shirt, which is great for ballhawking because it makes you stand out, and a gray shirt with the Pittsburgh skyline on it, as seen from PNC Park:
Two really weird shirts for rappers:
And a Roberto Clemente shirt along with a snazzy gold Pirates shirt to conclude the season:
Other items were a Pirate Parrot doll and Pirates bowls:
A Joel Hanrahan bobblehead and Neil Walker mom and kid jerseys:
A Pirates umbrella:
A Pirates floatation device, sunglasses, and hat:
A kids necklace, visor, cooler bag, and gym bag:
The promotions didn't get me very excited. It seemed to be the same old stuff except with a different design. The Pirates gym bag and a couple of the shirts are the only promotions that I would be interested in actually keeping for myself.
Piratefest also features game shows that fans can participate in. There was deal or no deal, which is so boring because its old and the prizes have been the same for years:
And Jeopardy, which was painful to watch,
mainly because the three contestants were idiots.
The kid on the left didn't know Andrew McCutchen's number. I missed one question: Bob Friend let the league in what category in 1955? There was one other question I didn't know: What is the Minnesota Twins' mascot? Every other question I answered aloud to Amy correctly.
Before leaving at 6:40 pm, I played three games. I ended up winning free tickets on two of them. Not bad.
Piratefest is always something I look forward to every year, and its usually the same stuff every year, but it still breaks up the offseason a little bit and gets me looking forward to baseball again.
9-25-11 PNC Park
Today was my final game of the 2011 season at PNC Park. I attended with Olivia and Amy, and unfortunately, there wasn't any batting practice.
I was worried that I may get shut out because the Pirates players were to meet with fans at the gates, leaving me with just the Reds to get a ball off of.
At 11:30, when the main seating bowl opened, several Pirates were finishing some pre-game tossing before heading out to the gates to meet fans.
I was able to get Tony Watson's attention as I stood about six rows deep and he fired me a strike for ball #1 when he was finished throwing. Here he is a few seconds after tossing me a ball, walking towards some fans to sign autographs.
I've gotten a ball at all 78 games this season – thanks to Tony for extending that streak.
I then headed to the first base side and changed into my Reds gear as the Reds came out to stretch and throw.
When the Reds started throwing, I stood behind Matt Maloney and snagged two balls within a few minutes.
They were overthrows that I corralled here:
However, they were both given back to Maloney, as he needed them to warm up. The first I tossed back, and the second I glove flipped to him. He promised to give the ball back when he was done.
Even though I snagged two balls, it was the same ball on two different occasions, so I'm only going to count it as one ball. I've seen lots of ballhawks count similar snags as two, even here at PNC Park, but that's just padding your stats. You can't snag the same ball twice. Period. Even if you give it back and get it again.
Unfortunately, some teenager moved in and count another overthrow which took the ball that I was awaiting out of play. It meant that my ball #2 was given away to someone else. Oh well. It goes down in my stats as a snag from Jeremy Horst, one of the least accurate long tossers in the league.
Horst, Maloney and Bill Bray were playing catch, so after Horst finished he left, and Maloney moved to the outfield side to throw at a distance of 60 feet to Bill Bray.
When he was done, he tossed me a ball as a thank you for giving back two baseballs to him.
Olivia was getting a little bit fussy, so we decided to leave before the game even started. It's been a long season, so rather than being at the ballpark until 4:30, we found some other stuff to do without 28,000 other people.
On the way out, these Pirates players were at the gate:
That's Pedro Alvarez, Jared Hughes, Mark Strittmatter, Ray Searage, Jason Jaramillo, Ross Ohlendorf, and Jason Grilli from left to right. We didn't stop to talk or take pictures as there was a ridiculous line waiting to meet them.
Here are today's baseballs: (only 2 pictured because one was given away)
This will be my last game of the regular season. As for playoff games, you may remember last year I attended a Division Series game in Cincinnati. You'll have to stay tuned to see if I attend any playoff games this year…
Game: 3 balls (3 thrown)
Season: 422 balls (175 hit, 95 thrown, 88 device, 57 found)
Games: 78 games
Average: 5.41 per game
Career: 1,544 balls
Attendance: 28,758
9-24-11 PNC Park
Today was the last night game of the year, and Steve Miller Band was playing a concert after the game, so there would be a sell-out crowd on hand tonight. However, since there was some big cheerleading competition going on outside of PNC Park, there wasn't a large crowd for most of batting practice.
I came into the game needing seven balls to get 418 and make my 2011 campaign a top 5 all time ballhawking season. Sure, it isn't any close to the 544 I snagged last year, but its a small consolation prize.
Things got off really slowly for me, and I only snagged one ball within the first half hour of batting practice. That was a Pedro Alvarez opposite field home run that landed three rows back and took a giant hop into the upper bleachers, which I scrambled up the steps and grabbed.
My second ball of the day was glove tricked near the end of Pirates BP by the bullpen door.
Near the end of batting practice, things were going so poorly for me that I completely ditched left field and headed over into foul territory on the first base line as some Reds had come out to warm up.
There, I got who I think was Jared Burton to toss me ball #3 of the day after he finished his warm up tosses.
In the meantime, I noticed that Joey Votto was signing autographs near the dugout. I never ever go for autographs – I got only one other one this year – Ryan Vogelsong – but I figured that this was a former MVP and that his autograph was worth something. I got Votto to sign the sweet spot of a nice clean extra ball that I brought with me.
My fourth ball came a bit later as a pitcher airmailed Devin Mesoraco. I picked it up and offered it back, by holding it up, but they already had a second ball and picked up immediately where they left off as if they never even lost the ball, so I put it away in my bookbag.
My fifth ball came from Edinson Volquez, sort of. He caught the ball and rolled it towards the wall as if to get rid of it. I walked over and reached far over the railing and grabbed it. Then I held it up to see if Volquez or his teammates wanted it back. They could've cared less, as they were talking.
At 5:30, I searched the right field wall for Easter Eggs and found one.
It was ball #6 of the day, and #417 of the season, tying Nick Pelescak's 2010 mark.
I then returned to left field and got a toss up from Dave Sappelt.
He retrieved a ball from the wall and then tossed it up into the crowd. I was in the second row, and it was right to me, just over the heads in the front row, much to the dismay of some 20 year old in the front row.
My 8th and final ball of the day was a clean catch of a Brandon Phillips home run ball. I caught that one in the second row, and it caused some controversy with another fan. The ball ticked off the fan in the McCutchen jersey's glove and right into mine. It sounded like a foul tip being caught by the catcher.
Well, he thought I robbed him, even though I was a row behind him, and he kept giving me sour looks throughout the rest of BP, and talking to his friends and gesturing in my direction. Oh, and he's not a little kid despite his tiny frame (its tough to tell from that pic)- he's probably at least 20, and he already had a ball in his hand, so don't feel bad.
In the meantime, batting practice had become too crowded to have much range.
I finished up with 8 baseballs, and then went back to spend the evening with my family.
Today's baseballs:
Game: 8 balls (2 hit, 4 thrown, 1 device, 1 found)
Season: 419 balls (175 hit, 92 thrown, 88 device, 57 found)
Games: 77 games

Career: 1,541 balls
Attendance: 37,388
9-13-11 PNC Park
There were two new bag checkers at the gate today and they made a huge fuss over the line. First, they made us all back up 15 feet, and then the gate supervisor in white and yellow started getting sarcastic with Ian and Nick because they weren't backed up an additional foot beyond his arbitrary line.
Anyhow, I got lucky and found three balls in left field today upon running in, and then quickly caught two home runs on the fly. The first was running to my right here:
And the other home run was caught in the front row after I climbed over two bleachers here:
I looked up at the clock. It was 5:01. I have quickly snagged five balls within the first minute. Surely I would reach double digits today.
After a few minutes of inactivity when a lefty was in the cage, I took a few minutes to write the numbers on those five balls before they got all confused.
With only myself, Ian Weir and Nick Pelescak actively competing for balls, and another low crowd, this were looking up.
However, I wouldn't snag another ball for over an hour.
That's how bad Cardinals BP was.
Since the Cardinals were so stingy with tossing up baseballs yesterday, when the Pirates left the field, I didn't even bother changing into my Cardinals shirt. I just threw on my Cardinals hat.
So, I made my way all over the place from 5:01-6:05 trying to snag balls. Center Field, Right Field, Left Field. I thought my streak of three games with at least 8 balls would be snapped. However, in the last group, I made a clean catch of a Tony Cruz home run here:
The tracked down another one of his home runs under neath the Rotunda for ball #7.
Finally, in his last round of cuts, I made yet another clean catch of yet another Tony Cruz home run ball for ball #8.
After batting practice, Amy, Olivia and I made our way over to the All You Can Eat Seats. I had never eaten there before, and since I was hungry I ate three hamburgers, a hot dog, and some popcorn before the game.
During the game we sat here:
But I didn't come close to snagging anything else.
Here are today's baseballs:
Oh, and after the game, my check engine light came on, putting in jeopardy my weekend trip unless I can find time to get it fixed between now and then.
Game: 8 balls (5 hit, 3 found)
Season: 398 balls (172 hit, 84 thrown, 87 device, 55 found)
Games: 73 games
Average: 5.45 per game
Career: 1,520 balls
Attendance: 16,544
Remaining games to reach goal of 413: 3 (maybe 4 if I do an away game this weekend)
Needed to reach goal: 15 (5.0 per game)
9-12-11 PNC Park
Amy pointed out that I forgot to mention that we attended a Renaissance Festival over the weekend. Here's a picture from that.
Shooting arrows was the highlight because I was surprisingly good at it. Anyone, this really doesn't tie in at all, unless I made some weird caption like, "Erik Jabs aims for 413 as the season winds down, to break his 2nd best single season mark."
The Cardinals are in town now and have been really stingy this year at tossing up baseballs, so I was going to need some luck today.
Upon running in, I spotted a ball in the front row. I ran over to snag it when out of no where a ticket seller who works at the windows on the first base side of the Honus Wagner statue shot out of his chair in the handicapped seats and raced down and grabbed the ball. He literally snatched it as I was closing in and not but five feet away from grabbing it. Nick Pelescak was right there too and might have grabbed it also. We both gave him a look like, "Are you serious?" He said he was going to give it to a little kid (even though he had already been there since God knows when and had a whole bag full of baseballs that he had already picked up from the hour of batting practice when there were no fans in the stadium). Nick started saying some stuff to him, and I'll try and get his name and picture tomorrow. Anyhow, that ball was kind of important because it would end up costing me my first double digit game since June.
I got my first ball of the day from Jason Jaramillo:
Then I went on a hit-ball snagging rampage from the end of the Pirates BP through the Cardinals BP. Every ball I snagged the rest of the day was a batted ball.
I caught a Pirates home run as I walked up the bleachers one after the other and made a pretty difficult clean catch here:
When the Cardinals came out, I snagged two Matt Holliday home runs within 20 second of one another. They may have been back to back.
One was a home run that landed on a staircase and stayed on the steps. I scrambled up the steps and grabbed it with my bare hand as another ballhawk reached for it a split second late with his glove.
The next pitch a ball landed about twelve rows up into the upper bleachers. I raced up and snagged it as a few other ballhawks raced after it
It happened up here:
Ok, I'll admit those two snags were kind of lucky.
My fifth ball of the day was a home run that I picked up after it bounced off a bleacher. A young ballhawk who was maybe 10 years old tried to rip it from my glove, so after I had possession of it I asked if he'd gotten a ball yet. Nick Pelescak standing nearby said, "Yeah he got one already," so the ultra aggressive young fan just walked away. There was a lot of random non-regulars there getting lots of baseballs today.
Ball #6 was really ridiculously lucky. A deep home run landed in the wheel chair section and as I was drifting over, it hit something and took a soft ricochet right at me. I snagged it immediately in the air. That was truly lucky.
I was later told by Nick that ball #6 was hit by Albert Pujols.
After spending an unsuccessful round in right field for a group of solely left handed hitters, I made my way back to left field and immediately snagged a ground rule double near the bullpen:
Immediately, I thought it would be pretty cool to get one more ball. I had gotten 8 balls on Saturday and Sunday, and wanted to continue that streak to three games.
By the way, look how EMPTY it was at 6 o'clock!
Anyhhow, ball #8 happened when Tony Cruz launched a deep fly ball that sailed way over my head. Realizing it was headed toward the rotunda. I just turned and ran underneath the rotunda, and when it started bouncing around the concourse, I tracked it down for ball #8.
For good measure, Cruz lifted another home run at the very end of batting practice that I caught right behind this lady's head.
Amy and I had club seats for today's game, but I didn't feel like staying, even though I was on 9 balls and only needed one more for double digits. I sold the seats after we left the park, and then we went and got dinner and I went to the gym. I felt it was a better usage of my time than running all over the ballpark trying for one more ball. Plus, we plan on staying at tomorrow's game as we have tickets in a section that I've never sat in before…
Here are today's baseballs:
Game: 9 balls (8 hit, 1 thrown)
Season: 390 balls (167 hit, 84 thrown, 87 device, 52 found)
Games: 72 games
Average: 5.42 per game

Needed to reach goal: 23 (5.75 per game)
9-11-11 PNC Park #1,500
Sundays usually are rather uneventful. Typically, there isn't batting practice since its a day game that follows a night game. However, today was another lucky Sunday at PNC Park – both teams would take a full batting practice.
For the first half hour, fans aren't allowed to enter the seats. For whatever stupid reasoning, season ticket holders are allowed in from Monday-Saturday, but not Sundays. As a result, I stood behind section 141.
And got Ross Ohlendorf to toss me my first ball of the day.
Ohlendorf, a right handed pitcher, was wearing a glove on his right hand and throwing balls into the ball boy left handed. His toss to me was left handed and it just barely cleared the gate. Ross is the friendliest Pirates pitcher when it comes to toss-ups. I really hope he gets his season turned around so he can get some positive momentum going into next year.
Ross tossed up another ball that was right to me, but it hit the gate. An usher walked over and picked up the ball and pocketed it, right in front of six fans who were five feet from the ball.
At 11:30 when the stadium opened, rather than set up shop in left field, I went searching for easter eggs.
I found ball #2 in left field under a bleacher:
Ball #3 along the first base line in the handicapped seats:
And ball #4 a few feet away from my third ball.
I then realized that I was now on 1,499 career baseballs, so I made my way over to the Pirates dugout to try and get a player to toss me #1500. If you read this blog regularly, you may recall my 1,000th ball came last year in Cleveland via the glove trick.
The last Pirates group contained Matt Hague, Gorkys Hernandez, Jason Jaramillo, and Pedro Ciriaco. Once they finished their round, it marked the end of batting practice. On his way into the dugout, I called out to Pedro Ciriaco and asked if he minded tossing me a ball that was directly in his path as he approached. He obliged and flipped me a well worn filthy ball for #1,500.
Here it is:
After batting practice, Amy took this cheesy picture of me and the ball:
Anyhow, moments after I snagged that ball, the Marlins pitchers were finishing up their tosses down the right field line. I threw on my Marlins gear and headed over. It helped that I was *the* only fan there. Not even were any Pirates fans asking for balls. As a result, Clay Hensley threw me ball #6:
and Jose Ceda tossed me ball #7, even though he had seen me get one from Hensley. "You already got one," he said. "Yes," I replied, "it's up to you if you want to give me another one." Ceda stared at me awkwardly for a moment then threw me the ball.
At 12:00 I headed back to left field and caught a ground rule double off the bat of Jose Lopez here for ball #8.
By the way, there was a special 9-11 logo painted onto the field. Unless you're under 10 years old, I'm sure we all remember where we were on September 11th 2001. I was a junior in college at Washington & Jefferson and woke up hearing some bewilderment next door. "Those are people jumping from that building!" Someone was yelling. I turned on the TV and watched it all unfold.

9-10-11 PNC Park
It was a Saturday, so the gates open an extra half hour early. However, I wasn't able to take advantage of it, as I didn't get to snag a ball until 4:50. That was thrown by Alex Presley, pictured at right here:
My second ball of the day was a ground rule double that I snagged here:
A fan in the front row tried to knock it down, but they just slowed it down and it came right to me.
Ball #3 was a glove trick ball that I gave away to another ballhawk who hadn't gotten one yet.
My fourth ball of the day was a clean catch of an Andrew McCutchen home run ball in section 136. I had to get up on the bleacher to make the catch.
When the Marlins came out, I changed into my Marlins gear and caught a John Buck home run on the fly.
My sixth ball of the day was retrieved using the Cleveland Stick. A ball had landed in the ivy on the 'S' in Pirates during the early portion of batting practice. As soon as the rest of the stadium opened, I ran over and knocked it out with the Cleveland stick, and reached in with my hand to pick it up. Pretty simple.
In the mean time, Burke Badenhop spotted me about eight rows back after I had snagged this ball and attempted to toss me a ball, but it ended up short. I could've still gotten it, but a younger ballhawk ran by and caught it two rows in front of me. Luckily, Badenhop had another ball in his back pocket that he tossed me for ball #7. This time his throw was right on the money.
My final ball of the day was a towering home run hit by Mike Cameron. I ran to my right, up some steps, and picked the only open row that was available to me and made the clean catch. I had to manuever amongst these stationary fans:
I ended up catching it in the eighth row behind the guy in the gray shirt.
After BP I left, as Amy and Olivia were at home waiting for me.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Vice-President Joe Biden says the United States can't lead the world in the 21st century with its current energy policy.
He says the U.S. will trade its dependence on foreign oil for a dependence on foreign clean energy technology if the nation's leaders don't act.
Biden spoke Tuesday at the fourth-annual National Clean Energy Summit in Las Vegas.
National politicians and green technology leaders are attending the conference to discuss energy security and independence.
Those scheduled to appear include U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval and California Gov. Jerry Brown.
Chu said in his opening remarks that oil prices will increase while green energy will become cheaper in the future.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has hosted the conference since 2008.

The project is a freehold development. It is located next to Bartley MRT Station. The Gazania How Sun Drive actually is a residential condominium, which was previously known as Sun Rosier Condo. Developers have been submitting the bids for the plot of land. The developers submitted 4 very close bids and it was very close indicating that they were up beaten on the property market. The project Gazania includes 78 apartment units and plot ratio of 1.4 with the 146,046sqft land area.
The Gazania Luxury Development Condo
The Gazania project is the most recent investment of the company designed for a luxury lifestyle. It is a mixture of contemporary and modernized residence lifestyle.

In short, a premium luxurious lifestyle awaits you so come and become a part of The Gazania SingHaiYi Family.
Therefore, the market for new private home sales for 2019 is riddled with uncertainty on whether there will be enough buyers of units to sell at all. However, this decline might be a blessing in disguise as the market craze witnessed in 2018 will normalize slowing up things to enable proper planning and harmonization of the demand and prices. This will create for sales for The Gazania Freehold Condo at How Sun Drive.

Well I started the week by sleeping through most of Monday after working the Sunday night shift, I slept surprisingly well on Monday night too although I woke at 2:30am on Tuesday and couldn't get back to sleep. Despite technically being an adult I still always wake early on my birthday, even though I wasn't particularly excited about it.
So did I do anything special to celebrate? Probably not by many peoples standards but for me I enjoyed it. I tidied the house in the early hours, watched a bit of TV, had a long hot bubble bath, made a homemade veggie bhuna, drank half a bottle of malibu and relaxed. Maybe its a sign of getting old but clubbing really isn't my thing anymore!
Wednesday I had a very good chat with a lady from HMRC, rather than attending one of their workshops they are now offering telephone workshops which are supposed to last about 20 minutes. Mine lasted a good hour and the amount of information I gained was fantastic. I'm no longer scared about the dreaded self assessment, in fact I'm quite looking forward to receiving it and getting stuck in (I will probably regret saying this in a few months time!) So the rest of Wednesday was spent sorting receipts and trying to get things into order.
Thursday I spent quite a bit of my day playing with my new birthday present, a Kindle. These things are absolutely fabulous, I'm quite addicted to it now. I did have a few technical issues with it first off trying to collect it to my wireless network however the ever reliable 'turn it off and on again' worked a treat and I was soon up and running. Now I just need to find a nice handmade case for it... or maybe a few nice cases!
Friday I was back into work. Where does the time go? Hopefully you can see why I didn't get much done.
I didn't completely forget about my paintbrush though, I did find time to paint a few photo frames, first up are these cute stars and hearts:
As Valentines day is fast approaching I also painted these two designs:
That's all I have to offer this weekend, note to self - must do more next week!
As usual I'm linking up with Wendy's Handmade Monday so please do go and have a look at what others have been up to.
Until next time

Ever since Getty photographer John Moore visited Iran 10 years ago to cover parliamentary elections in Tehran, he's had an itch to experience the country behind the headlines. He finally got his chance this past June when he was approved to tour the country on a one-week trip from Shiraz to Tehran.
Mostly free from the constraints of traditional news — he did happen to document the 25th anniversary of the death of Ayatollah Khomeini along the way — Moore visited Iran's most prominent cities, monuments, and squares for a look at the everyday life of average Iranians.
Though he had been pleasantly surprised by Iranian hospitality on his trip 10 years ago, he was again struck by how friendly, open, and hospitable most Iranians were to him, an American photographer documenting their country.
We've collected a selection of Moore's photos from the trip here. More of his work can be seen on Getty's Reportage website.

By Dan Proft (Full article published in The Chicago Tribune on 10/29/15)
Why are the feds giving Hastert such a sweet deal?
Should we still call him "coach" as well?
I mean if we are going to participate in the fiction that the plea agreement between former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert and U.S. Attorney Zachary Fardon is justice, then we might as well take it to the absurd extreme when we next see Hastert shopping for wrestling singlets at Dick's Sporting Goods.
...For the "I'm a fiscal conservative but anything else goes" crowd within the Illinois GOP who suggest we ignore a candidate's character and private conduct as long as everyone is getting paid — folks who have been awfully quiet during the Aaron Schock and Hastert meltdowns — remember this: When you induce a state of moral comatosity in a party, if you wake up at all, you do so in the superminority.

A seminar on Search for the Ancient Kingdom of Gangaridai: Evidence and Findings from Wari Bateswar, jointly organized by Bangladesh Archives and Records Management Society, PATA, Skal International and Dhaka Regent Hotel and Resort was held on 18th November 2014 at the Bangladesh National Museum. Honorable Minister for Civil Aviation and Tourism Mr. Rashed Khan Menon, MP was present as the Chief Guest and the Secretary for the Ministry for Cultural Affairs Dr. Ranjit Kumar Biswas was the Special Guest. It was attended by the members of BARMS, high government officials, historians, archaeologists, university students, journalists and tour operators.
Professor Sharif uddin Ahmed, President of BARMS in his address expressed that the principal theme of today's seminar is concerned in rediscovering an important part of Bangladesh's history. The problem associated with the subject is primarily the lack of historical records and documents. Thus he stressed the importance of the study of history and heritage of a country for its national confidence building and socio-economic developments. He particularly emphasized the need for preservation and conservation of historical documents and general management of government records as future sources of history. But for proper conservation and preservation of contemporary records and documents vital information may be lost and true history cannot be written thereby allowing the opportunities for vested interested groups to distort the past.
Mr Abdul Muyeed Chowdhury the former Secretary to the Government of Bangladesh and President of Skal International Bangladesh stressed that the study of history especially the study of archaeology not only enhances knowledge but also contributes to the economy of a country particularly through tourism.
The renowned archaeologist Professor Dr. Sufi Mostafizur Rahman presented his paper Search for the Ancient Kingdom of Gangaridai: Evidence and Findings from Wari Bateswar.
He elaborated his subject through various arguments and presentation of slide pictures of his excavation work at Wari Bateswar, Narsingdi, Bangladesh. From the archaeological evidence excavated from Wari Bateswar he concluded that the site is at least four thousand years old and the place may be identified with the famous ancient kingdom of Gangaridai mentioned by the ancient Greek and Roman historians and writers.
After his presentation the floor was opened for discussion. Many distinguished historians, archaeologists and academics put forward many counter arguments and questions regarding the paper. The eminent historian Professor Abdul Momin Chowdhury who was presiding over the seminar congratulated Professor Sufi for his excellent presentation but cautioned that further research and excavation works have to be carried out before coming to a final conclusion.
Dr. Ranjit Kumar Biswas Secretary to the Ministry of Cultural Affairs emphasized that it is essential that the state should make its utmost efforts to preserve its archaeological heritage and conserve the historical records and documents of the country. He assured that the Ministry of Cultural Affairs would do all it can to highlight the glorious history of Bangladesh and preserve its cultural heritage.
The Honourable Minister Mr. Rashed Khan Menon gracefully acknowledged that he has been much benefitted by the discussion in the seminar and promised that he would do his best to preserve and develop the historical sites and remains of the country so that tourism could be more promoted. He also emphasized that a nation's history and heritage must be studied by the coming generation and told the audience that while he was the Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Education he recommended that the study of history and heritage particularly of Bangladesh must be made compulsory in colleges and universities. He declared with pleasure that it has now being implemented by the National University of Bangladesh.
In the seminar there were a large number of university students and junior archivists who took part in the deliberations and showed much enthusiasm in the record keeping and record management and for preservation of historical sites and heritages of Bangladesh.
The seminar would go down a long way in the development of archival management and historical studies in Bangladesh.

This year our holiday greeting focused on New Year's Resolutions (Or New Yeh Resolutions as we have begun calling them around the office, of course devolving into thick New Yohk accents…) Of course, mindful self-improvement isn't everyone's favorite part of the New Year, but even thinking about what you'd like to change can set you on the path towards a better day-to-day.
One of my favorite instances of a new years resolution was that of a close friend of mine who resolved to read a book a week a few years ago. A voracious reader (and at the time, an English major) she not only pulled it off, but upped the ante the next year, reading a book a week in addition to all the books she read for her regular course load. Even if she hadn't achieved it, just by trying she still would've read far more than in a standard year.
So we thought we'd put the question out to the entire design community. What are you planning on improving and changing in the coming year? We'd love to hear from you! Write/Sketch/Photograph/Model (heck render a 3-D representation if you're feeling especially ambitious) your 2012 plans. We know you all are visual people, so use whatever medium fits the task best and then tweet it @yehID #NewYehRes From the incidental to the revolutionary we want to hear what you're going to do to make 2012 the end-all and be-all (figuratively, of course)
To get the flow started a few members of our team have done their own resolution documentation. Our Masterpieces? Not necessarily, but we will be keeping them in the office as a tangible record of our 2012 ambitions.
Now its your turn! Print out our template below and visualize your own New Years Resolution. Put it up in a great place as a constant reminder of what you want to achieve. And don't for get to tweet us! @yehID #NewYehRes

As you all know, 80% of my daily life is spent with my contact lenses on. I cannot live without them. Well actually I can, but for me it is so much convenient to wear lenses than my glasses. And one of the things that bothers me a lot is my laziness in cleaning them. I just changed the solution then put them to their cases and wear them again when I wake up.
Powerful cleaning.
Say goodbye to irritations!
Quick & Easy.
Ready in seconds!
Ready to use.
Everything included? Check.
I'm currently using my Septoclens solution with my Jitterbug set.
The Jitterbug is available at ANGELCONTACTS for $21 only!
The also sell the lens case in different colors! They have it in pink, purple, yellow and blue!
It saves a lot of time and effort! *especially if you are lazy like me! haha*
The product came in a box with instructions:
1. GETTING STARTED - set the Jitterbug on a stable surface then place the contact case on top (the case will automatically latch on)
2. LIGHT CLEAN - Press the "RAPID" button (left) for a quick cleanse. The unit will send sonic pulses for a duration of 16 seconds.
3. DEEP CLEAN - Press the "EXTEND" button (right) for an overnight cleanse. The unit will pulsate every 15 minutes for an overall 6 hour cycle time.
The only downside that I noticed is that the vibration is loud.
So to fix that, I put the jitterbug on top of the velvet pouch that came with it to absorb some of the vibration and stick the plastic suction cup to my mirror to make sure that it won't go anywhere.
Overall, it is one of the best inventions ever when it comes to contact lenses!
Definitely recommended!
Here's a quick video that I took with the jitterbug in action. :>

LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — We're just about a day away from hundreds of Razorback fans pouring into Little Rock as the Hogs take on the Alcorn State Braves.
It's one of the last few games slated for War Memorial Stadium in the capital city/ Stadium officials tell Channel 7 News, as of Thursday afternoon they had sold around 40,000 tickets, and have about 15,000 left.
Despite the 11 a.m. kick-off, finding your own place to tailgate last minute will be nearly impossible.
"People already came out that have the scholarship parking spaces and then staked their tents for their parking space, we sold out on our reserve tailgating so we should have a good time, and people are calling waiting to know what time they can get on the golf course in the morning to start their tailgating," said War Memorial Stadium Executive Director, Jerry Cohen.
"I actually wouldn't mind 11 o'clock because the last few games I've come out here in the evenings, there have been so many drunks out on the golf course I wouldn't want to bring my kids out here...so that was a key factor for not bringing them in the past," said Hog fan Larry Meeks.
Reserved tailgating opens at 6 a.m. and golf course tailgating opens at 7 a.m.
Be sure to tune in to Channel 7 News on Friday night at 7 p.m. for the Razorback special.

7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess
Audiobook(CD - Unabridged)
Do you feel trapped in the machine of excess? Jen Hatmaker was. Her friends were. And some might say that our culture is. Jen once considered herself unmotivated by the lure of prosperity, but upon being called "rich" by an undeniably poor child, evidence to the contrary mounted, and a social experiment turned spiritual journey was born. 7 is the true story of how Jen took seven months, identified seven areas of excess, and made seven simple choices to fight back against the modern-day diseases of greed, materialism, and overindulgence. Food. Clothes. Spending. Media. Possessions. Waste. Stress. Jen and her family would spend 30 days on each topic, boiling it down to the number seven. Only eat seven foods, wear seven articles of clothing, and spend money in seven places. Eliminate use of seven media types, give away seven things each day for one month, adopt seven green habits, and observe "seven sacred pauses." So, what's the payoff from living a deeply reduced life? It's the discovery of a greatly increased God — a call toward Christ-like simplicity and generosity that transcends a social experiment to become a radically better existence. 7 is funny, raw, and not a guilt trip in the making, so come along and consider what Jesus' version of rich, blessed, and generous might look like in your life.

The author identifies 7 areas of excess in her family's life and chooses to focus on changing their ways in each area. By focusing on one area for 4 weeks, they could see which changes to make and get to work. I enjoyed the book thoroughly. I liked the author's approach... self deprecating humor with truth bombs sprinkled throughout and all tied to her faith. I also understand how overwhelming changing habits of excess can be all at once... I appreciate she tackled them one by one. Easy read that leaves a lasting impact.
Well written: just when it gets pretty serious she throws in funny stuff. This is a good wake-up call for all of us who can afford to buy the book. We have a whole lot of stuff we don't need! Even if you don't do the things she does as drastically, moderation is what we need to remember to apply to our daily lives.
If your "closet" is overflowing with food, clothes, money, waste, stress, etc. and you don't have room for one more thing, then this book is a MUST READ. Jen Hatmaker struggles, falls to her knees, rises up again and triumphs in this experiment with excess. She did it not only for herself and her family, but for all of us who question our own "full closets". I found this book to be insightful, helpful, hilariously funny, and demanding. Jen Hatmaker backs all (or most) of her opinions up with His word and what He expects of us. I will be rereading this book, suggesting it to friends and requiring my husband to read it.
This book will quickly help point out any possible excess you may have in your life and/or force you to think about how others survive with what they have and how you might change your lifestyle to help others. After living the 7 experiment, you can't help but thing of "things" differently.
By the time I was half-way through the second chapter, I had already ordered 3 more books for my friends and family to read. This struck a cord in me, a sense of ingratitude that I couldn't shake...still can't. Even if a person just improved on one of these areas in their life, they and their community, would be the better for it. Great job, Jen!
I was asked to join a handful of women to go through 7 beginning in September. I had no expectations but was left more than a little bewildered after our introductory meeting in June. I just finished the book and my world has certainly been turned upside down. I work at a mega church much like the ones Jen describes and cannot shake the eerie notion that Jen is right ... if members of the early church walked in to our doors they would be totally bewildered and think God's word must have really been altered since they read it. Looking forward to meeting with my group tomorrow night to discuss. As far as wearing only 7 articles of clothing in September ... that I'm not looking forward to as much, ha!
For me, time is of the essence - so if I'm going to read a book, I prefer that it is non-fiction and ultimately enriches my life somehow. This book is that and so much more. Recommended as an excellent book by one of our pastor's wives whom I respect very much, I purchased two copies - one for me and one for my sister who reads even less than I do. We each devoured our own copy, reading slowly, allowing it to marinate in our minds. Coming together on our lunch hour, excitedly sharing our thoughts, ideas and reactions...and ultimately our convictions, we are determined to follow in Jen's footsteps, who definitely appears to be following in God's.
Another great book by Jen Hatmaker! She challenges you, but in a humble way, sharing her own struggles & difficulties, all while making you laugh hysterically!
A friend asked some friends to read this book to discuss. I am an avid reader and decided to check it out. I was a little skeptical reading the summary but the book truly changed my perspective on my Christian walk. We are not called to continue to bless the blessed. We are called to those less fortunate. To the unlovely. To the lost. I am using this book as a discussion point in a new women's group I am starting to help women find their calling. Where does God want you to be?
My biggest concern in this book is some of the sources that Jen has used in a couple of chapters. In the chapter on waste Jen uses a source names Rosemary Radford Ruether. Look her up on Wikipedia and see all of her accomplishments and what she believes. She is a feminist and an new age earth lover who believes that all creatures, plants, animals insects have a soul. Jen must like Ruether because almost all of page 116,119 and the bottom paragraph of 120 is all her writings. Most of it is word for word form Ruethers work. Jens book is covered with a social gospel message which believe if we as humans try hard enough, we can fix the worlds problems. The problems of the world are all symptions. The root cause is sin. The last thing I will comment on is the last chapter of the book titled Stress. This chapter is another thinly veiled guide to pagan practices. The source for The Seven sacred pauses is Macrina Wiederkehr. Please look her up, she has a website that is full of religious pluralism, that many religious belief systems are equal, valid and acceptable. I encourage anyone wanting to use this book to please review the sources. I would not recommend this book to anyone.
It's sounds cliche but this book was life transforming for me. In the best possible way. Not only did this book make me laugh all the way through, but it made me take a closer look at so many things that have become so 'normal' in my day-to-day life. She makes you really give thought to the excess in every area of our lives, but in a way that will make you feel enlightened, encouraged, empowered to change what you'd like to, and always does it with scripture and the most wonderful kindness with people at the heart. Her writing makes me want to be a better person.
This book has changed the way I view things in my life. I have already gone through and started to donate things to the homeless and I'm making more room for God. I think Jen is supper funny and I totally can relate to her feelings on a lot of things. What an amazing ready. You will cry, laugh and feel goosebumps as you feel God working on you while you read this.
An eye opener to say the least.
Love her writing style. Makes one think about how spoiled Americans really are. Makes one think about how grateful we should be for what we have. And, how giving we should be as a people of excess.
She came across as way too superficial and materialistic for me to even finish this book. I gave it some time, hoping it would get better, but by Chapter 6, I gave up. She's incredibly boastful and repetitious in her book. Hatmaker most certainly did not behave as a woman of God.
I thought this would be a good book about clearing out my stuff. Hatmaker instead taught me some serious lessons about how little I really need to be happy and how important it is to really love your neighbor. She is super funny, too! Love the book.
Jen Hatmaker is such a "real" person! Her books always make me think . . . do I do that? Am I like that? Her faith inspires me to try harder and relax more. I loved 7. I loved how she was honest with how each month went: seven items of clothing and forgetting to pick a coat in winter, eating chicken for a month, how her kids and her husband felt about giving up technology . . . 7 sounded so drastic when I first read about it, but as I read each month, I kept thinking, I could do this! I could learn to live with less and it would be good for me to get the "stuff" out of the way so I can listen more. I loved how she backed up each month of 7 with facts on consumerism, hunger issues, poverty facts. It was thought provoking and really made me exam how my family and I live our lives. Are we caught up in the "isms"? Do we perpetuate the problem? Could one person or one family make a difference? I think that is the whole point that Jen was getting at.

The Coriolis flow meter market has been one of the fastest growing flow meter markets over the past five years. Despite their higher initial purchase price, many users find Coriolis effect flow meters a good investment when considering total cost of ownership. As such, process plants are increasingly selecting Coriolis meters to replace differential-pressure (DP) devices, and their use is also growing in the oil & gas industry.
One of the most important features of Coriolis effect flow meters is that they measure mass flow. While volumetric flow measurement is sufficient in many cases, mass flow measurement provides certain advantages. For example, many products are sold by weight rather than by volume, and in these cases it is often desirable to measure mass flow. Chemical reactions are often based on mass rather than volume, so mass flow measurement is also often required in the chemical industry.
While both volumetric and mass flow apply to liquids and gases, mass flow is especially appropriate for measuring gases. This is because gases are more readily affected by temperature and pressure than are liquids. Pressure has minimal effect on liquids in terms of compressibility, and is often ignored in making volumetric measurements of flow. The effects of temperature on liquids are also often disregarded, except where high accuracy is desired.
Whereas magnetic flow meters provide accuracy in the range of 0.5 percent, many Coriolis flow meters achieve accuracy of 0.1 percent. It is the high accuracy of Coriolis flow meters that is one of the major reasons for their extremely rapid growth over the past five years. Companies that need flow meters for custody transfer, or want highly accurate measurement of mass, have a good reason to select Coriolis flow meters.
What Is the Coriolis Effect?
Coriolis flow meters are named after Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis, a French mathematician and engineer. In 1835, Coriolis wrote a paper in which he described the behavior of objects in a rotating frame of reference. While this is sometimes called the Coriolis Force, it is more accurately called the Coriolis Effect, since it is not the result of a force acting directly on the object, but rather the perceived motion of a body moving in a straight line over a rotating body or frame of reference.

One common example given to illustrate the Coriolis Effect is that of a ball propelled through the air a long distance in a straight line from the North Pole toward a target on the equator. By the time the ball arrives at the equator, it will not land at its apparent target, because the earth will have rotated sufficiently underneath the moving ball so that it will land some distance away from the perceived target on the equator. From the perspective of the person standing where the ball is "thrown," the ball will appear to have curved.
A similar example is someone throwing a ball from the center of a rotating merry-go-round. If she throws the ball at a horse on the edge of the merry-go-round, assuming the merry-go-round is rotating at a rapid pace, she will not hit the horse she is aiming at but perhaps the one after it, since the horse she aimed at will have moved by the time the ball reaches the edge of the merry-go-round.
WEBINAR: Advancements in Coriolis Flow Meter Technology
In both these cases, there is no force acting to push the ball in a curved direction. Instead, its motion will appear to be curved from the perspective of the ball-thrower because the frame of reference is moving underneath the ball. This is why the Coriolis "force" is more appropriately called the Coriolis Effect. It refers to the apparent effect on the motion of an object passing over a rotating frame of reference when viewed from the perspective of the point of origin of that moving object.
Do Coriolis Flow Meters Embody the Coriolis Effect?
If Coriolis flow meters embody the Coriolis Effect, it is logical to assume that they must have rotating tubes. Yet it is not clear why fluid passing through rotating tubes would have a Coriolis Effect on the motion of the tubes, since the effect of the fluid is simply the result of inertial motion on the tubes. But in the Coriolis Effect, there is no force exerted on the ball thrown on the earth or the merry-go-round apart from the force exerted in throwing the ball. The ball simply appears to curve when viewed from the perspective of the rotating body.
Custody Transfer of Natural Gas Is a Potential Boom Market for Coriolis Flow Meters
Proponents of the Coriolis theory also cite a similar example when trying to explain the Coriolis Effect. They point to a hose full of water that is held in someone's hand. When no water is running through the hose, it remains still. But as water runs through the hose, the hose starts to twist and turn, due to the inertial effect of the running water on the hose. This is very much like the action of fluid on Coriolis flow tubes, but it is not clear why this is an example of the Coriolis Effect. Of course, rapidly flowing fluid through a narrow flexible object like a hose will cause it to twist and turn, due to the inertia of the fluid. If the pipes that carry many of the liquids in a plant were flexible instead of rigid, and the flow velocity was high enough, they would twist and turn as well. But what does this have to do with the Coriolis Effect?
How Coriolis Flow Meters Actually Work
Instead of having a rotating frame of reference, Coriolis flow meters work on the principle that the inertia created by fluid flowing through an oscillating tube causes the tube to twist in proportion to mass flowrate. Many Coriolis flow meters have two tubes. They are made to vibrate in opposition to each other by means of a magnetic coil. Sensors in the form of magnet and coil assemblies are mounted on the inlet and the outlet of both flow tubes. As the coils move through the magnetic field created by the magnet, they create a voltage in the form of a sine wave. These sine waves are the key to measuring mass flow.
Under no-flow conditions, the inlet and outlet sine waves are in phase with each other. When fluid is moving through the tubes, the tubes twist in proportion to mass flowrate. The amount of this twist is detected by the inlet and outlet sensors, based on a phase shift (time difference) that occurs in the sine waves formed by the two sensors. The mass flowrate is derived from the difference in phase shift in the sine waves formed by the inlet and outlet sensors.
Coriolis Effect Flow Meters or Inertial Mass Flowmeters?
It is difficult to see the relation between the Coriolis Effect and the inertial principle upon which Coriolis flow meters actually operate. However, this doesn't cast doubt on their effectiveness or undermine their theory of operation. It simply calls into question whether they are appropriately named, and what connection the inventors of this meter saw between the Coriolis Effect and the inertial operation of Coriolis meters. Perhaps they saw the Coriolis Effect as a type of metaphor or analogue to the inertial force exerted by fluid flowing through a vibrating tube.
Coriolis flow meters do have a kind of mystique about them that no other flow meter has. It may be due in part to the difficulty people have in understanding how they operate. Also, manufacturers typically enclose the sensors inside a container, concealing their inner workings. No doubt, part of this mystique is that they are the most accurate flow meter and they do the measurement with no moving parts, apart from the vibration of the tubes.
Recent Developments in Coriolis Flow Measurement
Regardless of what one calls the principles that form the basis of Coriolis flow meters, there is no denying that these flow meters are playing an increasingly important role in the flow meter market today. One important development is the introduction of large-line-size Coriolis flow meters. Formerly, only Rheonik produced Coriolis flow meters for line sizes above six inches. Following Rheonik's introduction of large-line Coriolis flow meters, Micro Motion, Endress+Hauser, and KROHNE have all entered this market. While all Coriolis flow meters above six inches are large and somewhat unwieldy, they have been selling well enough to have a significant impact on the market.
Despite their hefty price tag, 8-, 10-, and 12-inch Coriolis meters, many of which are designed for custody-transfer applications, are selling well in the oil & gas industry. Most recently, Endress+Hauser has introduced a 14-inch Coriolis flow meter designed for custody-transfer applications. End-users are willing to pay a higher price for the high accuracy and reliability of Coriolis flow meters when measuring high-value products like crude oil. Likewise, end-users pay a high initial price for ultrasonic flow meters for custody transfer of natural gas, because they want the high accuracy and reliability of ultrasonic meters. In both these cases, lifecycle costs outweigh initial purchase price considerations.
While most of the large-line Coriolis flow meters use the traditional bent-tube design, KROHNE has introduced a large-line Coriolis meter using its straight-tube Coriolis design. While this meter is somewhat longer than the bent-tube meters, it is less bulky because the straight-tube design requires less space. This may prove to be a strategic advantage to KROHNE in the competition for the large-line-size Coriolis flow meter market.

Is there such as a thing as good debt? When people think of the word 'debt', they usually associate this with an inability to pay their bills by the due date. However, while these debts are generally bad and should be avoided, there are debts that can be considered an investment and can help increase your overall financial position, known as good debt.
According to financial planners AMP, good debt is when you borrow to invest and your investment is income-producing, making the interest you pay on the loan tax-deductible. This usually involves an asset which increases in value over time, such as a property or shares.
Property, for example, cannot usually be paid off in one go and involves paying off the mortgage in several instalments that may take years to settle. While this means that you are living with debt, this is an investment that appreciates in value and generates further income, either through rental or the sale of the house for a higher price in the future. Similarly, a student loan taken out to pay for a university education is also a beneficial investment as it is generally assumed that you can command a higher salary with a degree.
Good debt, like its name suggests, is good for you in the long run and shouldn't be avoided at all costs. In fact, if you are investing in something as major as a home, it is better to incur this debt rather than paying upfront as this may place a strain on your cash flow or even wipe out your emergency funding. However, remaining in control of your debt and having the capacity to pay it off is still crucial to gaining good financial health.
On the other hand, bad consumer debt occurs when you borrow to invest but the value of the investment drops over time, according to AMP. This means that the asset is non-income producing and interest on the loan is not tax-deductible, for instance credit card debt. Incurring a debt on your credit card is dangerous as it usually has high interest rates that can snowball over time; and also makes it easy for you to spend more than you can afford, especially if your limit is higher than your monthly salary. Other forms of bad debt include car loans and holiday debt.
To prevent bad debt, ensure you keep track of all your credit commitments, especially their due dates, and make sure that you can afford to pay off all lines of credit in full each month. You should also minimise the number of unnecessary purchases you make on your credit card if you are experiencing financial strain - avoid accumulating debt to purchase items such as clothing, food or holidays as these items only depreciate in value over time.
However, if you already have some form of bad debt, you can still work to reduce it if you set yourself a goal, such as taking out a lower-interest credit card or loan, switching to a debit card, making monthly repayments in full, or look for zero per cent balance transfers. You can also consider reducing your credit card limit or get professional help from a financial planner. Only by evaluating your current financial position and working towards these goals can you then consolidate your debt.

I use to buy Hanes Beefy T's however they have gone way downhill. So I bought a Gildan, Champion, Jerzees and Joe's USA. Washed them all.
Joe's was hands down the best. Good thick shirt, tight neck and good fit. All the others were either thinner or itchy. I have now purchased 4 more and am going to purchase several more.
I work construction and wanted something heavy. Also I am 5'9" tall and weigh 240 and this shirt (2XL) fit with room to spare without being a blanket (even after washing). This shirt fit that bill.

I have purchased these T shirts for a couple of years. They fit great and after being washed 50 times, the may fade somewhat, but they are still wearable and still fit fine.
Highly recommend you give them a try.
Posted by Ann on 30th Jun 2016
The shirts are awesome! And the customer service by Donna is even better! She went over and above on helping me with my order!

I have finally found the most awesome T-shirts. Companies just don't make them like they used to, they are all too thin and don't last. But these t-shirts are a heavy cotton and the collars are not all stretched out, they are tight fitting around the neck. You can't beat the price. And you can't beat the quality. Also they a huge selection of colors to choose from. I have had some of these t-shirts for over a year and they are still in great shape. This is the only place I come to buy t-shirts.

This is the 2nd time ive ordered and really like the quality of the shirts. Thought i would get thin like summer cotton but these are of great quality. The only thing i didnt like...i have to stretch the collar out before wearing. Other than that, will be ordering more because of so many color choices.
Posted by Suzie on 16th Apr 2016
it is great to have a shirt that is made for a bigger man actually fit as represented. Typically the shirts are too short or shrink the first time they are washed. We purchased three of these shirts and are very please with each and every one of them.
Posted by Unknown on 16th Apr 2016
This is the first "heavyweight" shirt I have ordered recently that really is. I don't want poly, moisture wicking, etc, when I order a heavyweight shirt. It gets cold here, so I want to be warm when I wait for the bus, not dress for jogging after it. This is a nice shirt, fits well, fair price, and finally, it is described honestly.
Posted by Unknown on 15th Apr 2016
Fits like expected width and length.
Posted by Niki on 15th Apr 2016
This was for my boyfriend and he was very happy with the fit and weight of the tees, and I was happy at how fast I received them.

A 41-year-old woman has admitted her role in a robbery and shooting that left one man dead and a woman paralyzed at a South Side apartment last fall.
A 41-year-old woman has admitted her role in a robbery and shooting that left one man dead and a woman paralyzed at a South Side apartment last fall.
Mary Lavon D. Page of Manning Avenue on the South Side pleaded guilty yesterday to one count of involuntary manslaughter and one count of aggravated robbery. She agreed to testify against others involved in the crimes.
Page was recruited to help in a robbery of drugs and money from the occupants at 1810 Gault St. on Oct. 30, Assistant Prosecutor James Lowe said in Franklin County Common Pleas Court.
After Page knocked on the front door and asked Theresa Cooper, 59, about buying drugs, a man with a gun forced his way into the apartment and began shooting, Lowe said. One of the occupants, 39-year-old Marcus Leonard, was killed, and Cooper was wounded. She survived but is paralyzed below the neck, Lowe said.
In addition to Page and the shooter, one accomplice waited outside the front door and another served as a getaway driver, Lowe said.
The only other person charged in the case is Jonathan M. Dantzler Jr., 21, of Wilson Avenue on the Near East Side. He is scheduled for trial on Sept. 16 on charges of aggravated murder, attempted murder, aggravated burglary and aggravated robbery.
Judge David E. Cain set Page�s sentencing for Sept. 20. She could be sent to prison for 25 years, but prosecution and defense attorneys are recommending that she be sentenced to 13 years if she cooperates against Dantzler and anyone else charged in the case.

Obama's new official ride

Almost certainly the newly-designed Cadillac limousine built for new US president, Barack Obama, is the ultimate stretched limo
Obama's Presidential Limousine continues a tradition of Cadillac presidential limos that dates back to Woodrow Wilson and the early days of the automobile.
Obama's new official car is a completely new design, succeeding George W. Bush's DTS Presidential Limousine that debuted in 2004.
Specialists designed, developed and tested the new car to an extensive set of specifications, and its functional capabilities and security features have been kept secret.
The rear cabin is roomy and offers the president a secure environment, good visibility and a suite of mobile office features.
Presidential seals are affixed to the exterior rear doors, the US flag flies on the right front fender, and the presidential standard is located on the left front fender when the president travels in the vehicle.
Cadillac has built limousines and special vehicles for US presidents, diplomats, ambassadors and foreign dignitaries since the early 20th century.
