Download The premise of Consumer Directed Healthcare is: if consumers are made more accountable for the cost of their healthcare, they will become more responsible healthcare consumers - and overall healthcare costs will decrease. The rising cost of healthcare in the US has been well documented - and is growing at unsustainable rates. Health insurance premiums have outpaced wages and inflation every year since 1998. As a result, employers - who continue to bear the majority of premium costs in our predominately "employer-sponsored" US healthcare system - are increasingly adopting new health plan types to reduce premiums and shift more of the cost burden onto their employees in the form of higher deductibles. These so-called consumer directed health plans (CDHPs) combine a deductible greater than $1250 with tax-advantaged spending accounts to help them save and pay for their increased out-of-pocket responsibilities. With more than 25 million consumers now enrolled, CDHPs are gaining significant traction in the market. - and early evidence points to the fact that they are delivering anticipated results. Relative to those enrolled in traditional health insurance coverage, CDHP enrollees are significantly more likely to exhibit more cost-conscious healthcare consumption and higher degrees of healthcare engagement. This infographic outlines the consumer directed healthcare movement, providing useful metrics and insights into the market shift that is changing how consumers manage and consume healthcare services in the US.

Olympus Stylus XZ-2 iHS review: promising point and shoot or prospective pro-level camera?By Kevin Carter - Tuesday February 19 2013 Sensor Review
This year's theme for high-end compacts is undoubtedly the switch over from CCD to BSI CMOS sensors, but maker's are having to work hard to make the cameras attractive to those users who might also be tempted by interchangeable lens based mirror-less models. Olympus' upgrade to the original XZ-1 sees plenty of promising features including the new 12-Mpix BSI CMOS chip, but how well does it fair in our exhaustive tests?
High-end enthusiast orientated digital compact cameras like this one promise high-quality imagery in a very small form factor. The Olympus XZ-2 iHS measures just 113 x 65.4 x 48mm (4.4 x 2.6 x 1.9") and weighs 346g (12.20 oz ) but packs a 12Mpix 1/1.7-inch type (7.44x5.58mm) backside illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor.
This is attached to a stabilized platform, much like the firm's 4:3 cameras and features a 6-24mm f/1.8-2.5 (28-112mm equivalent in 35mm terms) iZuiko-Digital branded zoom lens.
One nice control feature of the XZ-2 is the Hybrid control ring surrounding the lens, it can be used to alter a number of settings including aperture values, shutter speeds and adjust EV compensation among others.
The XZ-2 also has a tilting 3-inch touch-sensitive screen and provision for an optional electronic EVF (the same finders as the firms' 4:3 models) although at $600, the addition of either the $160 VF-3 or higher-res $249 VF-2 makes the combination pricey. Like rivals, the upgrade to CMOS technology allows Full HD video (1080p) as well as 720p video at 30fps, and a doubling of sensitivity up to ISO12800.

Silly to present Nikon P7700 as better
It has the same sensor, so your "advantages/disadvantages in tests" are just your own measurement errors, well within your margin of error (see your comparison of Fuji X10 and Fuji X-S1, Oly E-M5 and Oly E-PM2 - sensors and processors are the same, your ISO scores differ by 10-20%).
But P7700 has slower lens, chosen to be slower to provide longer zoom range. So the choice is do you want better 28-112 (XZ-2) or better 130-200 (P7700) for which you don't need to crop (113-120 or even more I guess as good or better on Oly even with a little crop due to faster lens at 112).

Re: Silly to present Nikon P7700 as better
Thanks for your comment. It pretty much corresponds to our conclusion. Nikon takes the lead thanks to a wider ISO latitude but basically differences in IQ should not be noticeable on your final images (as noted in our comparison review).
It is worth noting that DxOMark sensor score only takes into account sensor quality.
Best regards,

1994 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1994 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The fuel pump may fail causing the engine to stall and not restart. Our technicians recommend replacing the fuel filter every 30,000 miles to help prevent undue strain on the fuel pump.
The power door lock actuators may become slow to operate or stop working completely and require replacement.
A coolant leak may develop from the water pump. The engine may overheat as a result of the coolant loss. A leaking water pump should be replaced.
The intake manifold gasket may develop an external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Running the engine with a coolant/oil mix may result in engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct this issue.
The inside and outside door handles are prone to breaking.
One or more heater & AC (HVAC) air delivery and/or temperature mode door actuator may fail. This can result in incorrect air delivery or temperature. If this occurs, fault code(s) stored in the HVAC control module should be available to assist with diagnoses.
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) front wheel speed sensors are prone to failure. When a sensor fails, the ABS warning light may illuminate and/or the ABS system may activate erratically.
The front or rear differential may develop an abnormal noise due to worn bearings or another internal fault. Our technicians tell us that a complete overhaul of the affected differential is commonly necessary to correct this condition.
The speedometer or other instrument panel gauge may begin to work erratically at times. Our technicians tell us that the instrument cluster must be sent to a repair facility to correct this fault. The warranty has been extended on some of these units to 7 years or 70,000 miles.
An engine vacuum leak may develop from the throttle body gasket causing a higher than normal idle speed. Failed gaskets should be replaced.
The distributor may develop internal faults. This can cause a rough running engine or stalling condition, the Check Engine Light may or may not illuminate. Our technicians tell us that the distributor should be overhauled or replaced to correct this concern.
The windshield wipers may not work intermittently due to a faulty wiper motor control board. Our technicians tell us that lightly taping on the wiper motor when the fault occurs should temporarily get the wipers working again. Some vehicles were recalled for this problem and some were not. You will need to check with your local dealer to find out if a specific vehicle was included.
The quick-connect fittings for the heater hoses tend to leak engine coolant. This problem commonly occurs because the metal housing has become brittle, which can break and cause leaks.
The air conditioning compressor may develop an abnormal noise and require replacement. We recommend that whenever an AC compressor is being replaced for a noise condition, a filter kit should be installed to prevent any metal particles in the system from damaging the new compressor.

Your Account
You know not to put all your eggs in one basket, but are you backing up to only a single location? Our favorite backup service, CrashPlan, backs up your data silently in the background, storing it locally on a hard disk or another computer you own, offsite on a friend's computer (for the consumer version), or in the cloud. But thanks to CrashPlan's power, flexibility, and cross-platform interface, you may need additional explanation to get the most out of CrashPlan's best features. This ebook - created in collaboration with CrashPlan maker Code 42 Software - has all the behind-the-scenes details and real-world advice you need.
In the ebook, backup expert Joe Kissell helps you devise an effective backup strategy for CrashPlan's unique capabilities, shows you how to back up to multiple destinations and restore files from all of them, explains less-common tasks (such as switching to a new computer and seeding a hard drive locally before moving it to a friend's house for offsite backup), and walks you through fine-tuning CrashPlan's many settings to meet your needs. All three consumer and small-business versions of CrashPlan - the free CrashPlan and the subscription-focused CrashPlan+ and CrashPlan PRO - are discussed, with relevant differences called out. (The book does not cover CrashPlan PROe, the enterprise version.)
For small businesses subscribing to the CrashPlan PRO service, Joe documents how to manage users and computers via the service's Web-based interface, and for anyone backing up to CrashPlan Central or CrashPlan PRO Cloud, he describes how to use the CrashPlan Mobile app (for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 7) to access backed-up files. Lastly, Joe provides troubleshooting tips in case things go wrong, and offers advice for backup needs outside CrashPlan's purview (like bootable duplicates).
Questions answered in the book include:
Joe Kissell has written numerous books about the Macintosh, including many popular Take Control ebooks. He's also Senior Editor of TidBITS, contributes frequently to Macworld, and previously spent ten years in the Mac software industry. Joe Kissell joined the TidBITS staff in 2006 as Senior Editor and currently lives in Paris.

Good guide to the CrashPlan service
By Roy
from Cary, NC
Comments about oreilly Take Control of CrashPlan Backups:
There isn't a simpler way to say it: Offsite backup is important. While I am still in the process of evaluating different providers, CrashPlan seems to offer a good mix of pricing and features. Fortunately, Joe Kissell's Take Control of CrashPlan Backups was recently on offer through the O'Reilly Blogger Review Program, so I picked it up to get a better understanding of the service's features and limitations.Despite CrashPlan's attractive pricing, it's also known for having a less-than-elegant Java-based interface and backend. Thankfully, Kissell guides the reader carefully through navigating the app, including the how to set everything up initially (creating a backup set, including/excluding parts of your system, adjusting update schedules, and so on). Also appreciated was the straightforward yet technically-competent description of the different encryption options that CrashPlan provides, along with the pros and cons of each. Throughout the book, Kissell makes sure to point out any options or features that might impact the status of your backups (for example, upgrading to the strongest encryption will remove all previous backups).Viewed in light of a backup service's long-term costs, Take Control of CrashPlan Backups is well worth getting as a companion guide. Being able to consult it when you're unsure about the consequences of checking a particular checkbox or flipping a certain switch in CrashPlan should go a long way towards avoiding mistakes that might accidentally delete file version histories or old backups. For people like me who are still on the fence about what backup service to choose, I wouldn't say it's necessary to read it beforehand, but it is useful to get an idea of how the service does (and doesn't) work, giving some insight (or at least some food for thought) in a way that a short trial period may not provide.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

There will be no age limit in place for the U.S. men's basketball national team for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Sports Illustrated reported the proposed age limit, which would prohibit players older than 23 from being on the U.S. roster, is still likely to be adopted for the 2020 Games.
The plan crafted by commissioner David Stern and NBA owners includes plans for a remade FIBA World Cup that wouldn't restrict players based on age.
Multiple NBA stars and repeat Olympians were critical of the proposal. Kobe Bryant said the idea was "stupid" and LeBron James and Kevin Durant, who is 23, also said they didn't like it.
The makeup of the team will be different in Brazil. USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo told SI that he'll be back for "one more run," but he'll likely have another head coach. Mike Krzyzewski plans to step down after the London Games and speculation has centered on Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich as a potential replacement.

No, not at all. Last fall one of the board members and even one of the Moderators were jerks to me so I just don't frequent this board too much any more so I'm not too familiar with what the board's capabilities are so attaching it to a post just didn't occur to me, sorry about that!

Yes, Youngster's intent was to help you build a strong and safe foundation for your project, but he didn't go into many details beyond the frame and the front and rear suspensions . . . as he said in the plans, he wants you to build your car. He just helping you create a tried and true, safe foundation for you to start your project on.

Yes it is!

Thank you Grouch! I put a lot of effort into making the best looking, most compatible document I could -> it's really nice that someone noticed!
If anyone else would like some help in a similar project please drop me a note - I'd be glad to help!
I will read up on the Creative Commons License and discuss it with Youngster, thank you so much for bringing it to our attention.
Take Care,
Thanks for the link! Is there a problem with making the file available as an attachment here?
Permission to distribute appears to be given by the author, on the first page: "I don't want anything for these plans, all I ask is that you freely pass them along to others." That page also contains what amounts to a dated signature by the author. I also note that page contains a note of thanks and acknowledgement to SLR_65 for helping create the PDF.
I've never built a frame from scratch, but a quick look through these plans leaves me with the impression they're complete enough for the job. That is a significant contribution.
It's a work deserving of thanks to Youngster for the plans and thanks to SLR_65 for the file format. (The PDF yields no errors even with the most obsolete viewer that I use. All of the text can be selected for copy/paste operations, so it's not just a collection of binary images. Well done!)
I'd like to suggest that you attach a Creative Commons license to the work, to spell out just what permissions you're granting. You're the copyright holder so only you get to choose.

my 2 cents worth
Over the years I have built 6 T buckets, I still have the body I found in 1951, It's on the second chassis. My thoughts on steering . the first one I built had 5 1/2 turns lock to lock in the steering box so thats what i used to design the linkage. ... the first time out when i put my foot in it it got real squirlly and I couldn't turn the steering wheel fast enough to get out of trouble, My son is building a 22 dodge bucket with SBC and i think we sill set it up with about 2 1'2 turns lock to lock but the pitman arm will have a couple of extra holes to slow it down or speed it up depending how it feels. we have been building our own hairpins so here's some tips....we cut the 7/8 DOM tubing an inch longer than the finish length for each end that gets threaded...
I use a slow speed electricians right angle drill and use the smallest bit that removes metal then keep changing bits until I get the size required for the tap. We have been using 5/8 clevis es so we change to a 5/8 bit and drill out that extra one inch ... then when we tap-the tap slides in one inch and goes straight. the nest step is to cut off that extra inch re drill for the tap size and retap to the full depth. this gives good straigh threads

Hello....The plans are finished! The problem is the response has been soooo huge. I have requests from all over the states and even from outside our borders. I wasn't expecting anything like this. SLR_65 has thankfully offered to help. Stay tuned for how you can get your copy.
Thanks to everyone who offered to help. Ron
re:shell valley
I just went to shell valley's web site,[url]www.shellvalley.com[url],and it appears it may be a different incarnation of the same company.comments?
Yeah, I kick myself every time I read one of those old ads! (Bird also made other kits as well as the Meyers Manx style dune buggy kits too!)
Valley is just a stone's throw from me!
If I recall correctly I think Bird also made fiberglass satellite dishes in the old big C band dish days.
I may be wrong, but haven't they became Shell Valley Cobra? (it seems I was told that somewhere, but I don't know if it's true or not)

GREAT stuff Youngster!
T bucket Plans
The more I look at youngster's tapered rails at the front, the slicker it appears. I was also originally going to go with 2 x 3 x .188 steel but 1 1/2 x 3 along with the taper will look dimensionally good, I think, on a small rod.
Great frame plan Youngster.

I'm not very good at this computer yet but my brother said he'd show me how to put these packets in a folder to send out at Christmas. We'll see if this old dog can learn a new trick. Thanks for the offer. I'm not turning you down,just want to see how this works first.
Youngster - can you scan these plans?
If not, I could do the first set next week....
That way, it costs you almost nothing to send the plans out...
Some info on cheap but good paint jobs:
"....if you have reasonable skills and some patience, you can attain any level of quality you like. There are a couple of tricks to this that I discovered years ago when I started racing. Race bikes get crashed a lot and not wanting to waste a bunch of money on something that doesn't help you win, I was determined to find a fast, cheap, easy, repairable way to keep my bike looking sharp. My worst year, I had five high speed crashes (still won five championships that year) and every time, the next week, the bike rolled out of the trailer looking like new.
The couple of tricks I mentioned are.......use all rattle can paint and give it time to "out gas" before clear coating over it. This may sound nuts to you, but the quality of the paint is not critical once you apply a two part automotive clear coat. That seals in your rattle can base coat for many many years. There are literally thousands of different colors available between all the car and truck colors covering many years of different models, plus all the other various decorator colors from hardware stores and the like. These paints dry very fast between coats, so when you make a mistake, you can wet sand within minutes and fix it. There are all kinds of tapes available in many widths to help you to do clean, tight masking turns between colors. You can spot fill over your colors if you find a flaw that needs filling, give it a quick shot of prime and then hit it with your finish color again. You really can't make a mistake that isn't quickly fixable. When you are satisfied with your base color, pin striping, decals, etc...........wait at least a week for the color coat to "out gas" or cure. If you don't, the clear coat will lift the color coat. When you are ready to do the clear coat, start with a light mist coat to help set the base colors. Minutes later, this mist coat will dry and you can do one or two finish coats. These automotive two part clear coats are extremely tough and have a super high gloss "wet look" They are the same clear coats paints used by car companies and last for many years.
These clear coats are extremely toxic, so if you do not have or don't wish to purchase the proper safety equipment to use them, let a local auto body shop handle this last step. You will still save a fortune on your paint job....My paint is all from a True Value Hardware store. Black, white, green, yellow and silver. To buy those five colors alone in automotive base coat would be hundreds. I spent maybe $25. I seriously doubt if I could have gotten a five color paint job of this quality for much under $2k........possibly ........would have cost a lot more."

Frequently asked questions
Why is there a validation code?
The validation code (Card Validation Code) are the last three digits on the back of your credit card.
We ask you to enter this information to make sure that your card is not used for fraudulent purposes, as this number is not printed anywhere else. The card validation code validates that the person who makes the purchase actually owns the credit card and not a copy of the credit card or just the number of the credit card. Also, the last three digits are not included in the magnetic strip on the card, nor are they part of the credit card number.
After you have clicked on "Submit", your personal details will be verified. Once your personal details have been approved, your credit card will be charged. Your order is then sent to our system (this takes just a few minutes).

Does your debit card bear the Maestro logo? Then you will be able to pay with Maestro in a safe and secure way. If you use Maestro for payment, you will not be redirected to the payment module of your bank. Instead, your transaction will be processed by Mastercard.

Were supposed to complete project within a week and did not do roof for 2 months. I noticed today that a section of edging is missing. Further leaking from delayed replacement. Still have not repaired the ceiling damage from their delayed roof replacement. Were polite. Always answered phone but not good telephoning and notifying they were not going to show up after telling you they would. I had to have a service call for my satellite dish because roofer/worker hung his coat on the dish. Would be willing to update this rating if they come back and finish fixing the ceiling damages.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have received press in the past for their association with dangerous side effects among older adults compared to younger people. Many older people take NSAIDs to get relief from pain, stiffness, and inflammation. However, these medications can have side effects. If you are taking NSAIDs, check the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) website for medication guide for more information.
Gastrointestinal Problems
Gastrointestinal problems, including stomach pain, ulcers, and bleeding of the stomach lining, are potential side effects among people who take NSAIDs on a regular basis. Often the first indication of gastrointestinal damage in seniors is bleeding, which can occur without the warning symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or dyspepsia (indigestion and gas).
NSAIDs may create or worsen gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms and complications. These may include:
- Acid reflux—regurgitation of stomach contents into the esophagus, causing heartburn or a sour taste in the mouth
- Esophageal stricture—narrowing of the esophagus, which makes swallowing difficult or painful
- Barrett's esophagus—a condition marked by a change in the lining in the esophagus due to long-term acid reflux
The American College of Gastroenterology lists the following as key issues that may put a person taking NSAIDs at risk for GI problems:
- Advancing age
- History of ulcers
- Excess alcohol consumption
- Use of anticoagulants and corticosteroids
If any of the following warning signs appear, contact your physician immediately:
- Black, tarry stools
- Vomiting of blood—may be red (fresh blood) or black (resembling coffee grounds)
- Severe heartburn or stomach cramps
- Stomach pain that disappears after eating or taking antacids
- Unexplainable nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
Other Problems
Several studies found that problems with NSAIDs are not just stomach-related. Some problems that have been associated with regular NSAIDS include:
- Increased risk of kidney failure.
- Lightheadedness, drowsiness, confusion, ringing of the ears, and anxiety can occur, all of which usually disappear once the drugs are stopped.
- Because NSAIDs interfere with blood clotting, some people who take high doses of NSAIDs bruise easily. If you take blood thinners, such as aspirin or warfarin, consult with your doctor before starting NSAIDs.
- Allergic reactions to NSAIDs are not uncommon. Signs of a drug allergy include rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing, wheezing, fainting, hives or rash, and puffiness around the eyes.
- The effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs may be limited and cause diastolic blood pressure to rise with NSAID use.
- There is a risk for heart failure in seniors who take diuretics and NSAIDs.
- Increased risk of cardiovascular conditions, such as atherosclerosis and blood clots, which can lead to complications such as a heart attack or stroke.
- NSAIDs are associated with toxic hepatitis, an inflammation of the liver which can lead to liver damage.
- NSAIDs can reduce the effects of ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and thiazide diuretics. NSAIDs can also increase the risk of toxicity from digoxin.
Why Seniors Are at Increased Risk
People at older ages usually need more medications, and sometimes at higher doses.
The following changes are a primary reason why drug doses for seniors are typically lower than those recommended for younger people:
- The liver is the body's central processing plant for drugs. As we age, the liver decreases in size, which means blood flow declines and processing slows.
- The amount of body fat increases while the amount of lean body mass and total body water decrease. These changes result in a higher concentration of drugs in the body fluids and hinder drug elimination.
- The kidneys help eliminate drugs from the body, but their work is slowed by declining kidney function. If you have kidney problems, use of NSAIDs should be avoided or monitored closely by your doctor.
How to Protect Yourself
- Consult your physician before taking NSAIDs (or any other drug).
- Take NSAIDs with food to help prevent gastrointestinal upset.
- Keep a list of medications handy when you need to share drug information with your doctor or pharmacist.
- Talk with your doctor about alternative pain relievers, including acetaminophen or herbal medications. All drugs have the potential for interaction and side effects.

These light and comfortable fingerless fishing gloves are made of an 88% recycled polyester/12% spandex blend with synthetic suede palms.
In 1993, we adopted fleece into our product line made from post consumer recycled (PCR) plastic soda bottles. We were the first outdoor clothing manufacturer to do so. PCR™ clothing was a positive step towards a more sustainable system – one that uses fewer resources, discards less and better protects people's health.
Today, we're able to utilize more sources for recycled polyester and offer it on more garments such as Capilene® baselayers, shell jackets, board shorts, and fleece. We now recycle used soda bottles, unusable manufacturing waste, and worn out garments (including our own) into polyester fibers to produce many of our clothes.
Using recycled polyester lessens our dependence on petroleum as a raw material source, curbs discards and reduces toxic emissions from incinerators.
We promote fair labor practices, safe working conditions and environmental responsibility throughout the Patagonia supply chain.

Organic refers to a sustainable system of agriculture popularized in the U.S. by farmer and publisher J. I. Rodale in 1946. Organic farming seeks to work with nature, not against it, by utilizing agricultural techniques that build soil fertility and protect the surrounding air, water and wildlife. It emphasizes building healthy, rich soil to produce plants that are high in nutritional value and resistant to pests and diseases.
The Organic Certification Program is designed to certify every step of the organic chain: from the land on which the product is grown; to the producers growing the product; to the post-harvest facilities preparing the product; to the processing and handling facilities transforming the product. This includes the use of sustainable farming techniques that rely on natural systems of production, pest management, and weed and fungal control, such as: cover cropping, composting, beneficial insect release, crop rotation, and prohibited use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It also prohibits the use of toxic and persistent chemicals commonly found in industrial pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. The purpose of organic agriculture is to enrich the soil, minimize damage to ecosystems, conserve biodiversity, and maintain environmental quality.

I am not entitled to be frighted by Fonzie flashbacks? Will my stevadore hook be straightened from fear? Unlikely.
I don't get the moderation...but the point is, this particular collaboration isn't flying up my flagpole for a couple reasons: Fonzie is just scary and I have moose locally who are also rather larger than my rather large equine. The combo scares me.

The shirt was resubbed. Your comment was probably under the other one.

Woot didn't want any Canada hate, so it will probably be rejected for that if not for language.

woot has also printed shirts that were far more similar. There's really no way to tell for sure.
Unfortunately, since Art is generally more "artful", he'll probably get the axe. Shoulda used a bunch of clip art... he'd DEFINITELY stay in the game that way

Either way, this is a great shirt.

Beautiful color choice & design, but I'm not too fond of the big "N" either. Maybe a compass rose instead?

This is a nver ending problem with red. Make sure you have no compression on the design when you export it. That helps alot, but it will usually always be a tad fuzzy looking.
Aberrantic wrote:This shirt would be insanely awkward on a woman. It would be distorted on the chest, and, in order for anyone to read it, they'd have to peer at said woman's chest for several minutes. I just don't see that turning out well.
Being a woman and one who was naturally blessed in the chest, I really am amazed at how many people make this comment. If I see a shirt I like, I buy it. If someone stares at my chest to read the shirt, more power to them. If a design is distorted on your T-shirt, you really should consider getting a shirt that actually fits, i.e., a larger size. Far too many women are wearing clothes that are too tight as it is.
brizz wrote:i really don't understand why this shouldn't be rejected. The theme is Canada, not the Yukon...it would be no different than putting up California's state flower for an "American" theme.
Are our states not part of our country? I guarentee you people would do things like the Statue of Liberty and the Golden Gate Bridge if we had a US theme, which are both state-rooted as well. Fireweed doesn't grow exclusively in the Yukon, as pointed out. It is a cold-weather flower that thrives in a lot of Canada. But it is the official flower of the Yukon, which has a symbolic, great white north sort of feeling for a lot of people.
I tend to interpret the theme given in an unusual way. Sometimes that works out--Innovation, and now this. Sometimes it doesn't. But I stand firm that, just because I've approached the theme from a different place than most of the other entries, doesn't mean my interpretation is invalid and should be rejected. If you have concerns, please hit the tattle button instead.

Zomg! I <3 this shirt!!! I absolutely must have one! I <3 Moose, I <3<3 Canada and I <3<3<3 Hockey!!! This one totally got my vote. The only thing that would make me happier about this shirt is if it were on a black tee...any way that might be a possibility?
I love it. As a Canadian myself, i would totally wear it.

Grow up.
Actually, that shirt got rejected last derby.
Woot has rules. They have them on the What is Woot page, and on the submittal form . They have unofficial rules as well (no comic sans font, no flying penguins) that you can read, if you go to the link for derekfilley's list at the beginning of this thread.
If those rules are not to your liking, there are other shirt sites. Check them out and see if one is a better fit for you.
Terribliz wrote:I'd definitely buy this if it had "y'all" instead of "ya'll" I hate when people spell it like that...
Second that!
Better still, since I'm not from the South, "You talk funny!"
galligator wrote:Really?
OK, I messed up. I should have said that the scale of the US on your shirt was larger than the scale of Canada on your shirt.
Compare your design to the map you posted, and you will see that Canada extends past the US on both coasts. However, you have Windsor ON close to the Upper Peninsula of Michican instead of fitting under Detroit, and Nova Scotia is over the northern part of Maine instead of out past the easternmost point of Maine.

I've run into many people who say y'all who can't spell it. They don't know it's a contraction for "you all".
Don't matter to me, I say you guys. Yes. To women too.
I like the shirt since I work with Texans and Canadians.

Agreed. Thanks for pointing this out... I wish I could modify and upload a new pic I'd do it.. It's actually just a dumb oversight by my part. shoot.

My Car-1997 VW Cabrio VR6
What started out as a sorority girl's dream car has slowly morphed into a slightly more manly, and interesting ride. While people still regularly deliver the catcalls of "gay" while I'm behind the wheel, I 've formed somewhat of a special bond with this car. The motor is from my deceased GTI, and all of the work on the car was done by me in my last few years of high school. She's not the highest performance automobile, but once you open it up in a tunnel with the top down, the smiles don't stop.
1. Exterior 6/10
As far as convertibles go, she's pretty boring. The body itself is all 90s econobox, but the 3 piece TRD wheels that I recently refinished do look pretty sharp. Plus it's got a great vanity plate! "VR6SWAP".
2. Interior 6/10
The interior is quite nice by late 90s standards. Dash strokers will be appeased by the squishiness of the GTI dash, and the golf ball shift knob is great to row through the gears with. But on the opposite end of the spectrum, there is quite a lot of wear and tear going on. The door cards are tan whilst the rest of the interior is black, and the tops are peeling at the seams from years of sun damage. The driver's seat also has a fair amount of wear as the previous owner was rather overweight. The leather is nice though.
3. Acceleration 8/10
While 180ish horsepower and an equivalent amount of torque might not seem like alot, she pulls. Hard. The rainy Washington winters make it a little hard to put power down, but it's still fun to spin the tires every once and a while. The torque is pretty much always there, so there's plenty of torks for safe uphill passing. Unlike a specific TCL darling...
4. Braking 6/10
Once again, nothing special here. The GTI brakes that are on it are much more effective than the stock Cabrio disk/drum combo, but she's still a heavy car that's pretty hard to bring to a stop.
5. Ride 3/10
The ride is absolute garbage. Even though they're not spun down too far, $300 Raceland coilovers with air springs on the front aren't exactly the pinnacle engineering. The car bounces around like a ragdoll when the road gets rough, and tall people have to watch their heads on the ceiling when the roads get real bad.
6. Handling 3/10
To put it nicely, this car is an understeering pig. From the factory, she wasn't exactly Lotus-like in handling, and the high power/high weight VR6 hung out over the nose doesn't exactly help. The Raceland's are crap as well. You get what you pay for.
7. Gearbox 8/10
While VR6 gearboxes aren't exactly known for their reliability, I love how they feel while you row through the gears. The golfball shift knob has a really nice feel and the throw is rather long but after 100 some thousand miles it still feels pretty notchy. Plus, reverse is where it should be. Up and to the left.
8. Audio 8/10
The stereo is below average by modern standards, but in my opinion, the VR6 is one of the best sounding 6 cylinders out there. The shallow angle of the engine's "vee" pattern allows for the sound to be halfway between a V6 and an inline 6. On top of that, the 2.5 inch exhaust has a great throaty tone when you really step on it. Like I said earlier, not much is better than getting on it in a tunnel.
9. Toys 7/10
While not a TCL approved modification, the saving grace here is the air suspension. I love it. Airing it up and down makes me crack a smile without fail, plus the ladies love it. Or not.
10. Value 3/10
I've poured probably upwards of 10 grand into this car, and there's no way it's actually worth that much to anyone else. It's full of sentimental value, but that's about it. Plus, it's a late 90s Volkswagen so it's plagued by various mechanical and electrical gremlins.
Total: 58/100
At least it's a passing grade!

Your Account
Best-selling author Joe Kissell guides you through every step in the process of upgrading to Mountain Lion. You'll begin with a compatibility check, learn to make a suitable pre-upgrade backup, and then follow assorted pre-upgrade advice, including managing your Apple ID, deleting digital detritus, and making a safe copy of the installer file. Joe helps you pick an upgrade plan: in-place (easy), clean install (for control freaks), over Leopard (a time-saving option), and even to a new Mac that's running Mountain Lion. He also describes the basics of installing Mountain Lion Server. After guiding you through the upgrade, Joe gets you started with key post-installation steps. You'll also find troubleshooting advice in case of upgrade failure, along with a chapter about Recovery mode.
In particular, you'll learn how to:
Manage iCloud: During your Mountain Lion installation, you'll be asked for an Apple ID, but should you enter one? And, if you have more than one, which one? You'll find advice for sorting out your Apple ID before you enter the installer.
Upgrade from Tiger or Leopard: How will you download the installer from the Mac App Store on one of these Macs? What about Rosetta for PowerPC-based apps? Joe answers these questions and discusses the special challenges you'll encounter when trying to upgrade efficiently from 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard.
Handle Your Hardware: Check for Mountain Lion compatibility, clear extra files and software off your disk, and test your Mac to be sure all the hardware and disks are running properly--better to discover and correct a problem now than on upgrade day.
Deal with duplication: Learn why having a duplicate of your hard disk is essential before installing Mountain Lion, and how to make one. Also, get help with backing up a Windows volume, should you be running Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp.
Consider a few geeky details: If you secure your data and documents with disk encryption now, or would like to under Mountain Lion, get advice on what to do before you upgrade and learn why Joe likes Apple's FileVault 2. Also, read what Joe thinks of partitioning and what you might want to do about it before installing.
Do the upgrade: Run the Mountain Lion installer, choosing all the optimal settings and options for your computer and tastes, and make sure all your personal data is still in place afterward.
Perform post-installation tasks: You're not done when the installer is - be sure to run Software Update, set up necessary user accounts, and (perhaps) turn on FileVault and Time Machine. You'll find help with troubleshooting any problems that may have occurred with your upgrade.
Go beyond the basics: Joe even covers topics such as the basics of installing Mountain Lion Server; moving from an older Mac to a newer one that already has Mountain Lion installed; and using Recovery mode to fix disk problems, reinstall Mountain Lion, and perform other maintenance tasks.
Joe Kissell has written numerous books about the Macintosh, including many popular Take Control ebooks. He's also Senior Editor of TidBITS and a Senior Contributor to Macworld, and previously spent ten years in the Mac software industry.

Comments about oreilly Take Control of Upgrading to Mountain Lion:
If you haven't already upgraded to Mountain Lion, I recommend that you take just a little longer to read Take Control of Upgrading to Mountain Lion by Joe Kissell from TidBITS. In my judgement, it contains everything you need to know to before, during, and after upgrading, even including Boot Into Recovery Mode. With this information you can make better informed decisions about your upgrade experience.You can do an upgrade of your Mac to be just like it is except for having Mountain Lion, or you can clean it up a bit, so it will be like a new clean Mac with the new operating system. It can be more like Christmas. If you are at all nervous about upgrading, by reading Take Control of Upgrading to Mountain Lion you can make your decisions with confidence. The information is well organized, clear, and easy to understand with just the right amount of joe Kissell's personal recommendations.If you are experienced, Take Control of Upgrading to Mountain Lion could serve as a checklist to make sure you do not overlook anything. It probably contains some good information and ideas that you might otherwise have overlooked.I did find that my AppCleaner application worked so you could add it to the list of uninstaller utilities on page 56.I obtained this as a review copy for our Macintosh Users Group
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
