|still need vin check? anyone needs autocheck, let me know.
I'm riding around in a '99 Suzuki as the original owner...awesome SUV for reliability. I know every little quirk about it, what to listen for, what to keep an eye on, etc.
Would I buy it now for $1500? Not on your life.The thing would be a money pit if I had to chase down all the little things all over again.
A 2002 with 147k on it, a warning light on the dash and it's spent 10 years on the salt soaked roads of the NorthEast? Really? Even a slimeball would disconnect the battery cable and clear the codes before showing it.
Put it this way, you'll never be able to resell it, so it will be ending its days in your driveway. Probably the best you can hope for is 2 more years @ $1750 each. That's both pricey and unlikely. No offense, you're not a backyard mechanic or you wouldn't be on here in the first place
Take a look at that 2004 Elantra with a new timing belt and brakes...that's probably a better buy
No clue of NY geography but fast search found these.
2004 Hyundai Elantra with new brakes and timing belt - $3900 130K miles
2002 Nissan Sentra Mint condition - $4499
2006 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GLS $4950 4 sp 110K miles
2004 Hyundai Sonata 4 cylinder - $4200 143K miles
2006 Honda Accord EX - $3000 (albany ) ** seems fishy at that price but found the listing anyway **
i predict that the leather interior you want so bad is gonna end up costing 3 grand in mechanical something.
IMHO you shouldn't be looking at luxury cars you should be looking at reliable cars.
my first truck was an old range rover cuz i had to be cool i put at least 10 grand into that thing and sold it for what i bought it for in the end... went to toyotas and haven't had a problem with shit.
NO the 3.5l 4 speed tranny is prone to failure. I almost bought one and yes I passed as the tranny was toast.
Do what you want but do more research of your facts 1st.
|if its a piece of shit you don't even want it for a grand because you'll put three grand more into it before new years.

Also if those are the original struts OK but if they've been replaced which I'm going to guess they are that's a clue as to rust issues. Just go look at it in the daylight. Although I will say he's charging about 1,500 too much for a car with those small list of issues.
I'll shoot for 2000 after the mechanic looks at it.

If it was maintained he would have a receipt for the timing belt being changed. It is was maintained he would have put new brakes on it to make the car more marketable.
That is also the generation that had tons of tranny issues so that must be looked into very closely~!!!!!
Next, light or dark outside, once you pop the hood there is enough light to see how filthy or clean the engine bay is. Dirty is not maintained, you could eat off mine but that is me.
Worn interior is not an issue, its an armrest that sees the arm the entire time your in the car, junk yard item.
DUDE you need to stop listening to peoples lies !!!!!!
The TL had the tranny problems, the RL's 4-speed is good for 200k *if it's taken care of.*
Yeah, the Lexus I checked out yesterday looked presine under the hood. Mechanic owned though, turned him down since I felt like something was about to go.

if you do decide to buy it after doing a mechanical check-up i'd offer him $2000 and in the end pay no more than 2500.
show him the cash and if he says no then turn around and walk away.
no one but an assclown tries to sell a car with a check engine light on.
I'm bringing my mechanic buddy with me next time I go to look at it, if I decide to. I do like it, but don't mind waiting until something better turns up. I've been waiting this long, already...
And he was selling it for his cousin, the actual assclown for letting the car go to shit.
But if I look at it tomorrow or Saturday, we'll throw the code reader in there and see whats good. If I can get this for 2000 I'm all over it.

International Students
An important part of your life at the University of New Hampshire is maintaining your health and wellbeing while pursuing your academics. The Health Services staff is aware that our health care system may be very different from what you have experienced in your own country and may be a challenge for you to understand. We will provide you with the highest quality care while respecting your individual needs.
Health Services is here to help you get well if you become sick or injured and to help you learn ways to stay healthy. Physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, lab technologists, radiology technologists and health educators/counselors are available to work with you to help you take care of yourself and to get well.
Health Services treats students as active participants in their health care. We encourage you to ask questions, to tell us your concerns and to work with us to determine how best to provide care to you.
About Health Services
- We are the on-campus health facility that is available for students. However, we are not an emergency room, and students are not able to stay overnight as they can in a hospital.
- We are open everyday during the academic year as well as some hours during school breaks and the summer.
- We provide Medical Care, Health Education/Counseling, and Complementary Health Services (i.e. massage therapy, biofeedback, meditation).
- We also have Pharmacy, Laboratory and Radiology departments in our building.
Areas of Specific Interest
- Medical forms to complete before you come to UNH (entrance requirements)
- Student Health Benefits Plan (Required for students with an F1 or J1 Visa)
- Making an appointment
- What happens during a medical appointment?
- What to do if you have a medical emergency when Health Services is closed?

- Information on dental (teeth) and eye care
- Confidentiality
Making an appointment
What happens when I come to or call Health Services to make an appointment to see a medical clinician?
When you call or come to Health Services to make an appointment, you will first talk with a triage nurse who will ask questions concerning your health and symptoms you are experiencing. The triage nurse will determine if you need to see a medical clinician, or if you can care for yourself with some information and advice. The questions asked are customary and not meant to be intrusive. In addition to helping determine if you should see a medical clinician, these questions will assist in determining how quickly you need to be seen and to prepare us for your visit. This information is only shared with the medical clinician (if an appointment is made) and brief notes about the conversation are written in your electronic health record.
What happens during a medical appointment?
When you come for your appointment, you will first "check-in" at the front desk/registration desk. You will be asked for your student identification (ID) card. You will then be given verbal instructions to the appropriate waiting area where you will sit. When the medical clinician is ready to see you, a clinical support staff member will talk with you briefly about your health concern and check your vital signs (such as your blood pressure) and then bring you into an exam room. You may need to change into a dressing gown for certain examinations.
You will then see the physician or nurse practitioner, who will knock on the door to see if you are ready (if you have had to undress for the exam). The medical clinician will greet you and ask you to talk about the reason(s) you are there and will ask questions for details that will help him/her diagnose the problem.
You will be examined, if an exam is indicated. If you want a chaperone in the room for the exam, you are allowed to ask for one or your clinician may ask you if you want one.
After the discussion and exam, the medical clinician will discuss his/her impression about what the problem is and will discuss whether any tests, such as blood tests or x-rays, are needed to help confirm the diagnosis or determine the extent of the problem. Treatment recommendations will be discussed and you may or may not be prescribed medication.
At the end of the visit, you may need to see a nurse who may perform tests, help you find the lab or x-ray department, and/or make a follow-up visit for you to see the clinician again or help you get an appointment to see a specialist.
You are encouraged to ask questions at any time if you need further information, are confused or don't understand something.
Can I bring someone with me to my appointment, if it would be of assistance to me?
Yes, you can bring someone with you to your appointment, if that would be of assistance to you either to increase your comfort or to assist with communication. The medical clinician may ask the person with you to leave the room if you have to be physically examined, but that will only be for a short time and would require your approval.
What if a medical clinician recommends a medication, lab work or x-ray and I am not sure I want to follow this recommendation?
If a medical clinician recommends lab tests, x-rays or medications to help you get or stay well, he/she will provide information on the reasons for the recommendations and any information on cost for these services.
You have the right to ask questions about these recommendations and you can decide whether or not you want to follow/proceed with them. If you choose not to follow your clinician's recommendation, s/he will let you know the potential risks/consequences of that choice.
What to do if you have a medical emergency when Health Services is Closed?
What if I need emergency care?
Dial 911 and the dispatcher, the person who answers the phone, will gather some brief information on you, your medical need and location. They will then send an ambulance to your location to take you to a local hospital. There is a charge for this service, but the UNH Student Health Benefits Plan (SHBP) will cover the cost of transportation by ambulance for you or family members covered by the plan.
What if I need services when Health Services is not open?
Health Services provides 24 hours a day, 7 days a week health care coverage, so you can have access to health care when we are not open through an arrangement with Wentworth-Douglass Hospital. You can read more about this service on our After-Hours web page.
Where is the closest hospital?
The closest hospital is Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover, New Hampshire which is about 15 – 20 minutes away from Durham. Click here for directions. Please know that if you go to an emergency room for minor health problems, you will probably have a long wait and a large bill. Whenever possible use services provided by Health Services.
What type of health care providers work at Health Services?
The Health Services has a variety of health care providers:
- Medical Providers at Health Services, we use the term medical clinicians and health care providers to refer to both our physicians and nurse practitioners.)

Physicians can have various areas of specialized training. Here at Health Services, we have physicians who have training in gynecology, internal medicine and general medicine.
- Nurse Practitioners: A nurse practitioner is a nurse with advanced training. Nurse practitioners' education and experience enables them to diagnose and manage common acute and chronic illnesses, do screenings, diagnostic testing and prescribe medications.

Nurse Practitioners at Health Services are certified and licensed as Advance Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) in the state of New Hampshire.
- Registered Nurses: A registered nurse (RN) has graduated from a two or four-year program of nursing and is trained to assess, evaluate, but not treat medical problems. The focus of a registered nurse is to educate patients concerning their illnesses. A registered nurse can administer injections, perform a variety of diagnostic tests, care for wounds and assist medical clinicians.
- Triage Nurses: A triage nurse is usually a registered nurse who has had additional experience in assessment skills. She/he is trained to prioritize patients (based on severity of illness/injury), who call or come in to the Health Service for care. After assessment, the triage nurse either gives advice regarding how to care for oneself or will make an appointment for a patient to see a medical clinician, depending on the severity or urgency of the problem.
- Licensed Practical Nurses: A licensed practical nurse (LPN) has graduated from an accredited practical nursing program and works under the direction of a registered nurse, nurse practitioner and/or physician.

- Medical Assistants: A medical assistant completes a two-year training program, and is trained to assist medical clinicians in basic tasks. A medical assistant is not trained to give medical advice, but can follow orders given by a medical clinician such as giving injections, taking vital signs, performing certain diagnostic tests.
- Pharmacists: A pharmacist is trained and licensed to prepare and dispense drugs and medicine. A registered pharmacist (R.Ph.) is a health professional who has earned a degree in pharmacy from an accredited college or university and who holds a license to practice pharmacy. The pharmacist will process, fill, and dispense a prescription medication written by a health care provider. The pharmacist will also counsel a patient about the use and potential side effects of prescription and non-prescription (over-the-counter) medications.
- Pharmacy Technician: A pharmacy technician must be registered with the New Hampshire Board of Pharmacy.

Student Health Fee, Health Insurance and Paying for Services
How do I pay for care I received at Health Services?
Much of the care you receive at Health Services is covered by the health fee which is part of the mandatory fees all students are required to pay with tuition. If you receive care that is not covered by the health fee, Health Services can bill your Student Health Benefit Plan (SHBP). Under the SHBP, there is a co-payment (a portion of the overall cost for the visit) that you would be responsible for paying, but not until after the SHBP has been billed.
Why do I need to have health insurance?
Having adequate health insurance ensures that a student will be able to receive medical care beyond what is available on campus without worrying about how to pay for that care.
What is the difference between the UNH Health and Counseling Fee and health insurance?
The Health Fee is part of the UNH Health and Counseling Fee which covers on-campus services offered at Health Services and the Counseling Center. When combined with a student's health insurance plan, a student is provided a complete health care package. The services that are available on the UNH Durham campus are broad, but there are limits. Having adequate health insurance ensures that a student will be able to receive the care that he or she needs - beyond the scope available on campus – without worrying about how to pay for that care. A student's health insurance company is never billed for services covered by the Health Fee. However, Health Services provides some services that are not covered by the Health Fee. If requested, these chargeable services can be billed to an individual's insurance company.
Who do I contact if I have questions about the Student Health Benefits Plan (SHBP)?
For questions regarding the Student Health Benefits Plan (SHBP), you can contact Kristen Crowley, Insurance Administrator at Health Services at (603) 862-4089.
Who do I contact if I have questions about the health fee or cost of care provided at Health Services?
For questions regarding the health fee or cost of care provided at Health Services, you can contact the Business Office Main Number at (603) 862-0066.
How do I get remedies that I have used at home or purchased from a pharmacy to treat common or minor illnesses?
Different countries have different laws about which medications may be sold without a prescription from a medical provider. Here, in the United States, medications available without a prescription are called, "non-prescription" or "over-the counter" medications and are available at pharmacies, supermarkets and other stores. Some remedies you brought from home may not be available in the United States or may be sold at a different strength or may require a prescription from a medical provider.Please talk with any of our pharmacists. They can answer questions about non-prescription and prescription medications.
What if I want to bring medication from my home country to the United States, can I do this?
Yes, you can bring medication from your home country to the United States as long as the medication has a legally recognized use in this country.
How can I get more of a medication that was given to me by a provider at home?
To obtain more medication you would have to get a prescription written by a medical clinician that is licensed in the United States. That prescription could then be filled by a pharmacy.
Information on dental (teeth) and eye care
What if I need dental care (care for my teeth)?
Health Services does not provide dental care. If this is needed, we can refer you to a local dentist (tooth doctor). The Student Health Benefits Plan (SHBP) does not provide coverage for dental care, but can save you money on dental services obtained by providers within the Basix network. Any cost for this service will need to be provided by you at the time of the appointment.
What if I have problems with my vision and need eyeglasses or contact lenses?
Health Services does not provide routine eye exams for visual problems and does not provide eyeglasses or contact lenses. The Student Health Benefit Plan (SHBP) does not provide coverage for these services, but can save you money through the Davis Vision Affinity Discount Program. Students save money on eye wear, eye exams and other services at locations nationwide. Any costs for these services will need to be paid by you at the time of the appointment.
Our health care providers can assist with eye symptoms such as eye pain, redness, discharge or anything else that might indicate an acute eye problem.
By law, the information you share with Health Services staff must be kept confidential. We are not permitted to contact your family, friends or anyone else to discuss your medical condition, illness, symptoms or treatment without your written permission. There are only rare exceptions where we can share information about you, or are required by law to do so, for example if you make a serious threat of physical violence towards yourself or another person.

Spn'd T'gles K-Y Intense:Beckhams vs Mr & Mrs Mimi
It's the Beckhams vs Mimi and Nick…
Chav vs Cheese!
Although Victoria is trying to put the chav behind her, we all know class can't be bought, no matter how many Birkins she has in her closet. And while they claim to hate the attention, well, we all know better. Posh lives for the camera. She lives to be photographed. And Mimi does too. Which is why they're going head to head.
Let's start with the veterans. On July 4th David and Victoria Beckham celebrated 10 years of marriage. 10 YEARS! To commemorate the occasion, because it deserves commemorating, the two left their kids with their parents and dashed off to the Seychelles for some private alone time. With 20 servants waiting on them hand and foot, on a private island, a chef, and a price tag of $200,000.
Meanwhile, Mimi and Nick Cannon have just passed the one year mark, lasting far longer than many initially thought. Their union may be young but we've already been treated to many moments of amazingness on the beach, frolicking "candidly" on holiday, getting "playful" with each other "privately" with full makeup and hair. They too love the spotlight. And they too go to great lengths to attract it. And while they may not pose as hard as their competitors, they do outcheese the Beckhams regularly…
So it's up to you to decide.
If you could be in the room, if you could watch it happen, if you had to "voyeur" just one:
Would you choose Chav? Or would you choose Cheese?

I've been bitten with the belt-fed bug. I've decided to try my hand at building a semi-auto AK-based (loosely) beltfed rifle. My starting point was this:
It's a Romy G kit with an RPD barrel that's been turned down to accept milled Type3 barrel bits. It bores me.
So I got this:
It's an RPD topcover, feedtray, and 100 round belt.
My plan is to join the two in an unholy union, otherwise known as an MG47.
The first step I did was to tackle building a reciever. I built it out of .050" thick 4130 sheet. Here I'm bending it on my super-cheap $35 Harbor Freight brake:
Then I welded up the seam. The seam is on the top surface, so most of it will be cut away and covered by the topcover. I left the piece intentionally long so that I can rivet the trunnion back about 1/3 the length from the front, and have a built in handguard. Kind of a 1 piece receiver/handguard/barrel-shroud like an MG43. Only shorter.
And here it is mocked up with my belt full of empty brass and the topcover/feedtray to give y'all an idea of where I plan on mounting it on the receiver.

Bersa UC 9mm is best semi auto pistol I've found. Wife loves Glock but Bersa suits me, perfect weight, balance, and the UC can still hold 13+1, lots more than other 'ultra compact' guns..
the design is great too... chamber a round, pocket the gun with safety flipped on... then in case of need, just pull, flick thumb safety down, and fire first round DA (feels like a second safety to me, knowing first trigger pull is double action)... it's a sensible gun in the pocket and it's medium size, not tiny, so shooting is natural and easy.
price is good too, but this gun is made WELL.

"We used these announcements for an elderly aunt who we had to move into assisted living. We wanted something cheerful and this fit the bill: so bright and happy! Since we were on a budget, I loved that you could "downgrade" to a straight edge and eliminate any extra costs; but I thought all of the edging options looked great. I also liked that the text was 100% customizable. These arrived faster than I expected and were the usual good quality card stock. I highly recommend."
"I am so happy I ordered this card!! It was of such high quality, so creative and beautiful! I had so many lovely comments from people who received it. The customer service was exceptional and I was updated with every aspect of this card from creating it to delivery. The only thing I would have changed is my envelope selection. I chose a envelope with a luster finish and it was difficult to write on. Next time I would choose a matte finish envelope. I can't wait to order again!! Great company and products!!"
"I checked several websites and many different types of cards. We chose this card (my husband gave his last opinion between this one and another one) and I am so happy he made me change my mind about this card. It's beautiful, elegant and I can't wait to mail it to our friends and family. Very high paper quality. I was afraid the cards were not going to be on time (our fault, we ordered them late, it took us some time trying to decide) but they came 2 days before we expected!. I highly recommend tinyprints and this card! is way more than I hoped for :-). I made a little change in the font size (made it bigger) and I'm glad I did."
"This card design allowed me to have a great quality card timed perfectly combining our NEW home address & Holiday Greetings. VERY pleased with the ease in which I was able to personalize the cards, the quality/value and the swift delivery allowing me to get the cards our early this year! will be ordering in the future."

Chevrolet Express 3500 Recall 14V117000
Insufficient Instrument Panel Padding
In the event of a crash, an unbelted front seat passenger could be injured if their head were to contact the instrument panel.
As of this writing General Motors has not released a notification schedule for this recall. If you don't receive notification in a reasonable time and feel you should have, please contact your dealer for further instruction. They may ask for your vehicle identification number (VIN), so please have it handy when you call. The General Motors recall number is 14082.
Certain vehicles are being recalled because if a crash were to occur not requiring deployment of the front airbags, the head of an unbelted front seat passenger could hit the instrument panel, resulting in personal injury because the panel may not sufficiently absorb the impact. As of this writing, General Motors is still working on a remedy for this concern.
March 17, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2009-2014 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans manufactured January 27, 2009, through March 7, 2014 with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds and less and equipped with front passenger air bags. In the affected vehicles, during a frontal impact below the air bag deployment threshold, if an unbelted front passenger's head hits the instrument panel above where the passenger air bag is located, the panel may not sufficiently absorb the impact. As such, these vehicles fail to meet the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact."
In the event of a crash below the air bag deployment threshold, an unbelted front passenger seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
GM will notify owners. The manufacturer has not yet provided a remedy plan or notification schedule. Chevrolet owners may call 1-800-630-2438. GMC owners may call 1-866-996-9463. GM's number for this recall is 14082.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Feminism | Posted by Courtney B on 03/26/2014
What Exactly Do We Mean By Equal?
I am a feminist. I wear shirts that say "Riots not Diets" and tweet articles about women's issues. I am the founder of the feminist club on the campus of my women's college. I could probably take someone down with my feminist, pro-equality, social justice rhetoric. But it seems to me that there is a disconnect between fighting for these issues, for women, men, and trans*people to have equal opportunities, in my relatively comfortable feminist bubble and the real world.
I want to kick and scream about women's issues because I am a woman, and damnit, you better hear me roar. But by doing this, I feel like I'm also ostracizing myself from the rest of the world, like I'm counter-productively labeling myself as different when I'm ultimately fighting for …

Congrats on the win tjost! Looks like no one else is as surprised as you are... Portal references are unbeatable!
This design is a perfect recipe for a successful shirt.
Well done sir.
Must be time for a Half-Life 2 shirt after all these Portal ones. I'd buy that in a heartbeat. And while I'm at it. Where the hell is Episode 3 damn it!
2 in a row, congrats tjost...the only bad news for you is that this one will probably knock both of your other designs down a rung on the reckoning list. ok, so that's probably not bad news.
oh so the companion cube was the cake all the time, what a ruse

I'm actually wearing my mousey portal shirt you made, which I like betterer, why have cake on a shirt, you can't eat it... cake is only good if you can eat it.
This shirt is awesome. I'm not a big enough fan of Portal to want one for myself, but I now have inspiration for my hubby's next birthday cake.
Edited to add that (not surprisingly) several others have already beat me to it.
I think TJost has another winning design that'll be on sale for over a year. Congrats!
Love this... a new artistic, and well designed take on the game.
And a big thank you to Woot for not rejecting this because it's Portal.
EDIT: Just to say I put my money where my Monkey is, it's the first shirt in a LONG time I ponied up the $5 so I can wear it next week...
gj tjost! Fresno!
That cake is not a lie!
It exists!
Welcome to wootfury.
LOL'ed at the "This Shirt tells the World". For anyone who doesn't get it, at one point GLaDOS says "Cake and Greif Counselling will be served at the conclusion of the test."
Hmmmm. I've always considered myself to be somewhat of a nerd, but I must have been fooling myself because I dont get this shirt reference AT ALL. And I'm okay with that.
A couple of videos portal fans might like
No Escape (Live Action Short Film by Dan Trachtenberg)
This one's possibly (probably) NSFW depending on where you work and how uptight they are about things:
Wish I Had a Portal Gun (Aperture Science Rap)
Damn. I was born for this derby, and I completely missed it.
I guess this Portal thing is the new Star Trek.
In for two! If I could afford it, I'd be in for more as our whole family LOVES Portal, but for now I bought these for my sons rather than for the husband and me.
Thanks for the awesome X-mas gift tjost! My boys will love this!
This description, with the song, was greatness. Bravo Woot!
I can stop saying "the cake is a lie" but I will not stop playing that song. That is a great song.
Thank GOD. A Portal shirt that's finally not "lol the cake is a lie." IT'S NOT A LIE. I JUST HAD SOME.
Jumped all over this. I know it sell out soon.
Awesome shirt.
The shirt is a lie.

It's not that bad ... yet. 12 of the top 20 in the reckoning are pop-culture free. And so will this week's (Australia) derby theme. But it does seem that it's getting there. I'm already feeling a need for 'No Portal' in future derby rules, however. Look at how many other artists did Zelda-based designs after Epic Fail.
On a different note, my personal woot.shirt artist count has tjost up to 6 now. 6th slate shirt too.
Is there not a way to buy this and a reckoning shirt at the same time? I would like to put this shirt and the Cheese is a liederkrantz on the same transaction.
Anyone know?

This is my twelfth print actually. Shirtwhats not counting right plus it doesn't show the rainbow as a print or my non pop culture "all seeing eye dog" daily that printed

Nope only one design per transaction. Woots silly that way
There is no way to do it.Woot does not have shopping cart system. You'll have to buy in 2 separate transactions.

I've never heard of Portal but I wear the orange cake shirt all the time. It's totally worth it to see the Wishbones? Totally Fun! look on everyone's face when they see it. I'm just glad everyone felt too stupid to ask me what it meant because I didn't know either. Until now.
tjost wrote:Shirtwhats not counting right ...
I still only count 10 derby prints, though, as this one was already included in the count. Dailies don't count in the 'derby prints' tabulation.
jfallen wrote:can't determine if troll, or just not geeky enough to know what portal is.
Just not geeky enough. There are plenty of folks out who are not gamers.
This is awesome. Get baked and have some cake!
I'm a huge fan of Portal and more so Portal 2. Also a big fan of clever shirts from Woot (many of which I sadly have to explain).
But I'm not digging this, or other odd mashups which I think this design tries to take advantage of. It's one thing to say 'it's a Portal reference' but for me another to then say 'well they promised cake in the first one as a reward, and that's a companion cube which wasn't actually...'
Great looking design, congrats. But for my taste (and I do like cake), I'm just not feeling it :/

October had only 5 pop-culture shirts out of 31, and I think only 2 of those were from the derby. We loosened the rules a bit to let more in, and then tightened them back up this week when we saw things tipping too heavily in the other direction. Personally, I'm all about having a nice balance in our shirt selection, which includes pop-culture. I don't think a single week or two is really indicative of anything in terms of the "big picture" of what Woot offers or where it's headed.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by blueadams, Mar 31, 2013.
Time to part with the bowling ball.
The bandwagon for Stuckey is really a meat wagon......only thing following is a bunch of dogs.
Enough Joe bashing. Come on now.
I think he was bashing you, TaS. Plus, I think Nemo just called you a dog. Are you going to take that crap?
If it ain't ruff it ain't right.
Of course, the team went 1-8 over that stretch, but at least he's getting his.
Keep in mind that he didn't have Daye on the team during that stretch.
I think you are trying to blame Stuckey for not winning, despite the fact that there is a clear agenda from the clueless coach.
Bench combo guards are usually measured in W's and L's.
Apparantly they are usually measured by the absurdity of their contract - the more absurd, the worse they are. Rodney Stuckey is the Rashard Lewis of combo guards.
To me, it's the comparison of negatives.. If we don't get a shot at McLemore or Smart.. 1) O. Porter. I don't get the board's obsession with O. Porter. His scouting report reads like "Tayshaun Prince.. who can't shoot or handle the ball. But who is just as weak and passive." No thanks. Weren't we all just desperate to get rid of Tayshaun a month or two ago?? 2) V. Oladipo. Dude's a shut-down two-guard in the league, at best. Nothing more. He can't shoot and he's never going to be able to. Most NBA two-guards are about as athletic at him ~ so he's not going to stand out because of that. Shut-down guards his size are great, but not this high in the draft. Shabazz has issues. But he's got great NBA size and length for a 2 or a 3. He's got tremendous NBA athleticism for those positions (i.e. defense). And he's got all the skills to become an offensive juggernaut; an NBA All-Star. Sort of reminds me of this draft's Andre Drummond. Over-analyzed to a fault, and thus, underrated. ...The Greek wing, Adetokoubo, intrigues me.
If you could put prince in his prime on this team, you do it. They moved prince in order to create opportunities. This team's spirit and leadership needs to come from Monroe and knight and whoever else they pick up. Tay is a champion, a veteran, an Olympian and he can fit a weeks change of clothes into a very small suitcase. He has clout and a measure of authority. Now that he is gone the keys are handed to the younger dudes to make something. Pass on porter if you think others fit better here but not because his build/game is similar. Prince's game is not why we moved him and porter is not prince any more than Daye was.
Prince is a fantastic player, and a Detroit icon. His number should be retired here. I'd pass on Porter because he doesn't have Prince game. He lacks the same IQ and isn't a spaghetti armed defender. Oladipo is an incredible athlete with huge motor. He does have some offensive game, but he can really defend. His lateral is great and he doesn't need to gamble because he is smart. When he can gamble (with 40 inch vert drummond behind him) he could be even better. Shabazz is not 'underrated'. He can't steal, plays laughable defense, and expects to be the best. Offensively he is grand, at getting to the rim and catch and shoots. Pull up jumpers? Rubbish. So he has a similar skill set to Rodney Stuckey. Well thats fantastic, but we already have the prototype and we don't need another.
I wouldn't judge someone against Prince. We had no idea how good Prince would be in 2003. Comparing these kids to franchise icons at the end of their career is never going to be very objective.
I still laugh at most of you cats because you continue to measure a college player against vet NBA players. If Otto Porter were of a darker hue there would be no Tayshaun Prince comparisons.
Yeah, it's almost like comparing Burke to Chris Paul.
We're NBA fans posting on an NBA forum about potential draft picks that might be a fit on our NBA team. It's kinda hard to not compare the skill set of prospect to that of guys who are already in the league. I'm not saying that it's right; ...I'm juist saying that it's natural. ...And I'm not sure where in the heck you're coming from regarding Otto's "hue". I cut and pasted the following from Porter's NBA Draft.net page. These comparisons are in bold print at the top and basically serve as defacto 'headlines' for the player breakdowns on the sites.
I know for me when I compare Burke to Paul I'm comparing the current Burke to the Paul I remember playing in college, Burke could be the next superstar PG in the league, or he could be the next Stuckey (Remember he was part of the Olympic select team and we were actually wondering if he was better then Rose?) Some of the comparisons the websites make I can see, but some of them they are reaching... We have to compare him to somebody so lets reach for one. I'd much rather they just say their strengths and weaknesses unless you actually go ohhh he reminds me of X.
Chris Paul had similar doubts from some people who immediately ate crow. Its just part of getting caught up in predicting anything. We believe that enough data points will allow us to see the future. Its a great myth to be a part of.
They should retire the core of the GTW era. Now that we are the Clippers of the 2010's, we can appreciate winning and stop criticize those guys for falling short the second time.
Separate names with a comma.

Fox Claims "Nation Of Dependents" Could Prolong The Recession
Fox News hosted economics professor Casey Mulligan to falsely claim that extending unemployment insurance would further damage a struggling economy. However, many economists find that extending unemployment insurance stimulates the economy in times of slow economic growth and could add up to 300,000 jobs in 2013.
Fox & Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson interviewed Mulligan, a University of Chicago economist who claims that unemployment insurance and food stamps should be reduced to 2006 levels because their extension could be harmful to the economy. Carlson began the segment asking "what if those measures meant to help people during the recession are actually prolonging it?" From the show:
In fact, The Washington Post reported [1] on a study [2] from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) that found extending unemployment insurance now would stimulate the economy and add 300,000 jobs. From the article:
The report notes that extending unemployment insurance is a particularly effective form of stimulus when the economy is still struggling. That's because jobless workers who receive benefits are extremely likely to spend the money right away. So, the CBO estimates, if Congress extends all the programs, GDP will likely be 0.2 points higher and employment will be 300,000 in 2013 than if Congress does nothing at all.
Many economists have echoed the CBO's findings. Moody's Sophia Koropeckyj explained [3] that unemployment insurance "reverberates through the economy" and former Federal Reserve chair Alan Blinder stated [4] that it is "one of the best forms of stimulus we know." Ralph Martire of the bipartisan Center for Tax and Budget Accountability also highlighted why unemployment insurance is important in a weak economy [5]:
The best consumers are low- and middle-income folks, who don't earn enough to save, so they spend their paychecks. That is, when they have paychecks. See, if they've lost their jobs and the private sector isn't creating jobs and the feds cut off unemployment benefits, their ability to spend drops to, well, nil. Which is why the amount of private sector economic activity stimulated by unemployment benefits is greater than any other fiscal action government can take. In fact, dollar-for-dollar, it's five times more stimulative than the Bush tax cuts.
Sure, the long-term deficit has to be dealt with -- but honestly and responsibly. Short-term, deficit spending -- particularly on things like unemployment insurance, food stamps, housing assistance and the like -- is creating jobs and saving the U.S. economy from disaster.
Not only does unemployment insurance help create and maintain jobs, but it also "has a significant impact on GDP [6]." Moody's Mark Zandi illustrated the economic benefits of various stimulus provisions in this graphic published [7] at the Economic Policy Institute, which shows that the greatest economic benefits come from food stamps and unemployment insurance extension:

Great story.
It took me back to a memory of Dixie Belle when she was a puppy---maybe about ten months to a year old. I was taking Dixie and Enka out to the lake, and stopped off at WalMart on the way. It was warm so the windows to the van were open, but not so far they could get out. But the windows behind the front seats were sliding windows.
I guess Dixie decided I was taking too long, so she decided to come get me. She must have slid the window back, and sniffed me out. Apparently, she just waltzed right into WalMart through the automatic doors, right past the greeter and followed her nose to me as straight as an arrow.
All I know was I looked up, and up marched this German Shepherd (largish puppy) and gave me an exasperated "WOOF"(like, "OK, you've been in here long enough, let's go." She was trailing a cortege of about a dozen people, some amused and some more than a little afraid--------all of them completely ignored.
Dixie was a GSD on a mission----to go to the lake. And she wasn't about to let WalMart change that.
Lol nice.

|Great story! It sounded like Smokey was cool Shepherd, and a great friend.

|Great story! Your Smokey sure knew how to get attention. I wonder if the cook was chasing her around the kitchen with the carving knife like a gsd version of the nursery rhyme.
Smokey and I
Smokey has been gone for several years now but was with me for 15 years! I spent many years in France in the French Foreign Legion and when I moved home Smokey came with me. I decided to try driving trucks, Smokey loved traveling in the the Truck an exploring and having new adventures in new places everyday. Here is my favorite story of our adventures! I still smile when I think of this one!
Smokey and I were both still fairly new to truck driving and we were in OH and in need of fuel. I stopped and filled up the truck and went in to pay the bill. I came out and the drivers door was open a bit, I climbed in and realized Smokey was gone!!! I was now in "find the dog mode" I parked the truck and started to get out and find her, I quickly realized as dusk was coming and lots of trucks were parking for the night the odds of me finding a GSD running underneath trailers would be very difficult. I then decided to get on the CB and ask if anyone had eyes on her, I turned the CB on and never had to ask a thing...... The CB community was going on about the manager of the truck stop chasing a GSD around the kitchen! My jaw dropped open and I shook my head with a slight smile, grabbed the leash and headed inside. As I entered I was immediately the center of attention and was directed to the managers office where I found Smokey and those big brown eyes being the attention ***** that she was! I was asked several questions of how and why etc. and on our way we went, me still laughing and Smokey as happy as she could be!

Once a child abuse case has been reported, officials say it is "frighteningly common" to hear a neighbor, family friend or someone else familiar with the child say they suspected something but didn't report it.
"You'll have a lot of people going, 'Gosh, I should have done something,'" said Detective Sgt. Brian Graham of the Elizabethtown Police Department.
Joel Griffith, a member of the state's Child Fatality or Near Fatality Review Panel and director of services and programs for Prevent Child Abuse Kentucky, said it is common to hear someone say they suspected something was happening or saw bruises on the child.
"Routinely, you hear people say, 'I knew something was going on,'" he said.
For whatever reason, Graham said, many witnesses don't want to cause trouble or intrude in what they believe is another's private life.
According to Kentucky Revised Statute 620.030, every Kentuckian is required to report suspected child abuse by contacting the Cabinet for Health and Family Services or local law enforcement.
The cabinet has a 24-hour hotline, 877-597-2331, which Graham said is the best avenue to pursue because it allows callers to report the suspected abuse anonymously. There also is an online option, https://prd.chfs.ky.gov/ReportAbuse, which is available from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The report goes directly to the region where the victim lives, Graham said, and a case worker has 72 hours to investigate the claim and contact law enforcement.
If the child is believed to be in imminent danger, witnesses should contact law enforcement, he said.
Graham and Griffith said there likely are more cases of child abuse or neglect that go unreported than those that are investigated by police or social workers.
Physical abuse or neglect, Griffith said, is a crime that occurs within the confines of a family home rather than in public.
"We can assume it occurs more frequently than reported," he said.

Note: This message is displayed if (1) your browser is not standards-compliant or (2) you have you disabled CSS. Read our Policies for more information.
The Department accepts complaints and compiles reports so you and other members of the public can evaluate the companies and agents who conduct insurance business in Indiana. Once the complaint information has been collected, we thoroughly investigate all circumstances and take any appropriate action to prosecute or fine the company or person if found to be at fault.
If the insurance company has not followed the terms and conditions of your policy, you may submit a consumer complaint form. Examples of appropriate issues include:
You may submit a consumer complaint online using the on-line forms below or via the mail. Mail all complaints to:
Indiana Department of Insurance
Consumer Service Department
311 West Washington Street, Suite 300
Indianapolis IN 46204-2787
Example of the types of Problems that you may submit to the Department:
Before you file a complaint with the IDOI you should first contact the insurance company, agent or broker in an effort to resolve the issue(s). If you do not receive a satisfactory response, then you may file a complaint with the Division. When filing a complaint please provide as much information as possible. Failure to provide this information may delay or even prevent our ability to be of assistance. Please be aware that a copy of your Complaint will be provided to the insurance company.
In order for us to effectively begin our investigation you will need to provide supporting documentation with your complaint. Failure to provide supporting documentation may delay your request. Supporting documentation includes any documents (copies) related to your problems, such as the declaration page of your insurance policy or certificate, cancelled checks, letters of claim denial or other correspondence. Do not send us originals of any documents, photographs or other evidence as we are not responsible for lost records or other items. The more complete the information we receive, the quicker we can identify the issues and begin our review.
The IDOI has the authority to regulate (i.e. license, review rates and policies, review financial statements, investigate complaints, conduct examinations and issue orders/penalties) all insurance companies, producers, premium finance companies, motor clubs and HMO's that are licensed to conduct business in Indiana.
Generally, Indiana law does not apply to insurance contracts (or policies) issued in other states. For example, if your policy was issued in Ohio, then Ohio law and not Indiana law applies to your coverage. In these instances, you will need to contact the Regulator in that state for assistance.
In addition, employer self-funded plans also fall outside of the agency's jurisdiction. Self-funded plans are those where your employer pays for your medical expenses, rather than contracting with a health plan to do so. The U.S. Division of Labor regulates self-funded plans, and therefore, has the authority to investigate and resolve complaints against such plans.
The IDOI does not have jurisdiction over federal programs such as the Federal Employee Health Benefit Program (FEHBP), Medicare, Medicaid, HIP, Workers Compensation and Social Security. Please contact the appropriate regulatory authority for additional information on these programs.
Consumer complaints against insurance companies must be received in writing. There are 2 ways you may submit a complaint to IDOI. You may file a complaint using our on-line form or you may print off our form and mail or fax to the Consumer Services Division.

Are you in the market for a new point of sale system? A sneak peek at Hospitality Technology's 10th annual Restaurant Technology Study tells us that one in five restaurant operators will look to replace their POS system within the next 12 to 24 months, with a keen eye to systems that can offer accounting and financial solutions, labor management, and business intelligence capabilities.
If you're among the 20-plus percent about to embark on a POS shopping trip, take a look at what these restaurant operators have to say about their recent upgrades in HT's POS Peer Review. And watch for the complete Restaurant Technology Study in the April issue of HT.
Peer Review 1: Feature Rich
McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurants (Portland, OR) has found success with the latest offering from Squirrel Systems (www.squirrelsystems.com). "We have been using Squirrel for a number of years, and it has been a good fit for us," reports Thomas Yee, manager of information technology. "We like the functionality of the data, which feeds some of our back office systems, including payroll."
Currently, McCormick & Schmick's utilizes the SquirrelOne POS, which can run on Squirrel's own Workstation 8 platform, as well as other platforms, including IBM SurePOS (www.ibm.com) and Posiflex Jiva series (www.posiflexusa.com). McCormick & Schmick's utilizes the Workstation 8 platform for its SquirrelOne POS. "The system integrates the card swipe for the security of the server or manager, along with the ability to ring up orders and settle checks using a magstripe credit card reader," Yee states.
"Another thing we like about the latest Squirrel POS technology is that the screens are larger, which gives us some expansion capability, since our menu changes every day for lunch and dinner," he states. "This is a nice item to have, since so many items go on and off screen every day."
Yee expects to continue to use Squirrel. "We continue to use their latest releases and upgrades to better benefit our restaurant operations," he notes.
Peer Review 2: Small in one
The Jiggershop Ice Cream Parlor (Mt. Gretna, PA), made the dramatic switch from paper and pencil to the latest in POS technology. The Jiggershop now uses NCR EasyPoint Advantage POS kiosk hardware (www.ncr.com). It is an all-in-one technology platform that features placement flexibility, in that it can fit virtually anywhere in any environment. It weighs only 11 pounds, measures three inches in depth, and has a bright, industrial-grade display.
"Most of the vendors we contacted promised the same things in terms of power and features," states Drew Allwein, general manager of The Jiggershop. "For us, though, it came down to a space issue, because we are very tight for space." The Jiggershop is an historic restaurant that has been around since 1895, and it only has so much room available. "I don't think we're alone with that problem," he states. "A lot of restaurants, especially established ones, have all of their space accounted for." So, according to Allwein, if a vendor says, "Set the machine on the counter," that doesn't mean much to him. "I don't have any extra counter space," he explains.
Until the restaurant adopted the NCR EasyPoint, servers had been using paper and pencil to figure customers' receipts. "We needed a machine that would do everything we needed, but would do it in a small space," he states. He found a lot of small machines, but the keypads were so small that servers couldn't use the keys, and the screens were so small that servers couldn't see them.
NCR EasyPoint solved this problem. The technology was programmed for the restaurant by NCR RealPartner Wirehead Business Technologies (www.wireheadz.com). "They were able to turn the screen on its side and create a vertical presentation," states Allwein. "For us, that was immensely important."
Size doesn't compromise performance, though. "We like the speed," he continues. "We have up to 16 servers, each of them independently figuring customers' checks. The machine works so fast that they can calculate all of the bills at the same time."
Peer Review 3: PC-Free
Kahala Corporation (Scottsdale, Ariz.), franchisor of a dozen quick service restaurant chains, including Cold Stone Creamery, and Blimpie, is testing the Panasonic (www.panasonic.com) Stingray JS-950WS workstation. Kahala is implementing a new strategy with the system, which involves removing the back office PC.
Richard Vale, in-store technology architect for Kahala, commends the JS-950WS for its "flat out power" in being able to handle this new strategy. "The previous one had a smaller processor, and it could not run back office software," he notes.
Kahala has been a Panasonic user for quite some time and just installed its second 950WS unit. "One reason we selected them again is because they handle both the hardware and software," Vale reports. "We had quite a few stores that already had older Panasonic equipment, and it had always proven to be convenient and reliable."
In the future, Kahala will be looking at new hardware applications for scanning and line busting - using a wireless or handheld terminal to take orders from customers while they are still in line. "We are also looking at changing the technology on the gift card to use less software, making it more of an on-line solution, going through the Panasonic POS," Vale adds.
Panasonic's JS-950WS workstation offers open architecture that allows it to run on almost any operating system and software. Its modular design allows for easy hardware customization and upgrades. A high-speed processor (up to 2 gigs of on-board RAM) provides enough power to run robust applications. The unit also offers a built-in full-screen LCD display for promotions and improved order confirmation and accuracy, and user-replaceable components, such as the LCD display and hard drive.

No More Food Battles
Seems that I spend several times a day discussing "food battles" with my patients and their families. I guess the longer I practice the more I don't think we should even have to discuss how often parents "battle" with their kids about eating.
From the early days of parenting when a baby is first offered either breast or formula, they are not asked "do you like this?". It is taken for granted that an infant will eat and grow and there you have it. The easiest days of parenting, correct? (except for a few months of sleep deprivation). But once that baby begins to eat the discussions start about "he makes a face when he eats spinach", or "she will only eat chicken tenders from Chik-fil-a", or "he only likes pasta and won't eat meat", or even "I make 3 diferent meals for my 3 kids". If you have a child older than 9 months you understand what I am talking about.
Food is necessary to nutrition, growth and health. But, with that being said, parents have to trust that a child WILL EAT when they are hungry. Really, hunger drives us all to eat, eventually. That bowl or cereal, or the steamed vegetables or even the dreaded chicken breast will get eaten if your child gets hungry enough. I remember reading somewhere that , " a parent's job is to provide food for their children at appropriate meal times, and child's job is to decide if they will eat it." In other words, make the meal whether for your toddler or teen and "forget about it". Meal time needn't be a battle but more a gathering to enjoy being together eating is just a bonus.
As an adult, when you go to a dinner party, you don't ask what they are serving before you accept, nor do you tell the host/hostess, I hate lamb!! (my example). You just smile and find something to eat and there is not a battle. We all need to approach family meals as a dinner party. Our children are our guests, and sometimes they like what we fix and other times they push some food around their plate and choose not to eat. The good news for most children is that there is another meal to follow.
So, think about it and don't let certain food likes and dislikes dictate mealtime. The more foods young children are exposed to the better chance they have of EVENTUALLY becoming a well rounded eater. Children's taste buds change with time as well, so you will find some foods that a 3 year old loved is no longer the favorite at 13 years of age.
Well balanced, nutritious, colorful meals are the family goal and "food battles" can be left out of the vocabulary.

I have read that there is an old military camp near the southern Oregon city of Grant's Pass, about 35 miles away. It was used during WW2 to incarcerate American citizens who had Japanese ancestors. Supposedly it has now been converted into one of these infamous FEMA concentration camps. When I feel up to it, I'm going to go look for it. All I will have to do is follow the railroad tracks through the city and county until I find it. These camps are built along railroads to facilitate the mass movement of people. The Nazis used cattle cars.

ok so the other day i jacked my 76 mustang up to get the radiator hose off the bottom and check the thermostat and i noticed my left rack and pinion bellow started dripping something. im pretty sure it's power steering fluid but I am unsure. it is about the color of old oil. when i further investigated the problem i see no cracks or holes in the bellow but even as i was feeling around for it it was still dripping at the same consistent rate...
the bellows are for dust and water protection only.count the turns from lock to lock on the steering wheel... 2.5 or 3...replacement reman racks can be found under 100 bucks with new inner tie rod ends.do also check the steering coupling disc. this is where the rack input shaft is attached to the you can try power steering system sealer... but they rarely work on rack and pinions.. more info if you decide to change it. before you take it apart.. 76 might have 2 or 3 different versions.. and at least 2 brands.. ford or trw rack.. 2 bushing or 3 bushing.
hmm. ok. just a little confused. so i cant just buy a new bellow? its dripping the the middle of it so there is possible a rip.
hmm. ok. just a little confused. so i cant just buy a new bellow? its dripping the the middle of it so there is possible a rip. sure...but the Bellows does not seal any power steering fluid leaks.. they are a dust and water splash shield to prevent dirt from getting to the chromed piston rods that extend past the hydraulic seals.. this is a slightly later fox body. yours is very similar..
What he's trying to say is if you're getting power steering fluid into the bellows boot, the seal on the rack is leaking because there should not be any fluid in the bellows to begin with. Putting a new bellows boot on will not fix the leak, the rack should be rebuilt or replaced and replaced is much easier and puts all the liability of something going wrong on the professionals. Bottom line, replace the rack and pinion assembly.
HAHAHAHA DUH! lol, i dont know what I was thinking. ok yeah ill just look into buying a new one.

What, exactly, is wrong with self-diagnosis of one's sexuality? Sexuality is a personal thing that is ultimately up to the discretion and instincts of those who own their sexuality. How is someone saying "you know, your instincts about your sexuality might be right!" rather than "GET THEE TO A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL" performing a grave disservice? What gives sondjata the authority to order - not suggest - that Awkward seek medical advice in hopes of claiming privilege before daring to declare herself asexual?
Not saying this particular person isn't asexual, but there are other biological issues that could be at play here low hormones being chief among them. Since it is normal for the vast majority of the species, particularly at the age of this person, to want to engage in sexual activity and that a lot of that is hormonally driven, a medical exam would be in order for this individual prior to declaring they are asexual.
What this post really does is allow for the patient to self-diagnose and for the "doctor" to say: "If you say so." write a prescription and dismiss the patient without taking an exam. In the real world that's malpractice. [emphasis mine]
Sondjata's comment constructs her privilege as the healthy and right way to live, wielding her societal advantages to other Awkward. There is no room for Awkward, except as a freak of nature. Sondjata insults asexuals by implying that Awkward does not take care of or know her own body.
Instead of focusing on asexuality in culture, sharing experiences and perspectives on the topic, sondjata and other commenters chose to undermine Awkward's knowledge of her own body and assert the rightness, the biological superiority of their own sexuality. Instead of responding to Awkward's queries, they chose to doubt the legitimacy of her asexuality and suggest that Awkward doesn't really know what she's talking about. How could someone who wasn't silly, irresponsible, or sick not want to experience the all-consuming power of sex?
If someone wrote in about their very active sex drive, no one in the comments would suggest that they had a tumor - though that can cause an overactive sex drive. Commenters who respond with "Well, you might be sick. Make sure you're healthy so you can maybe be normal!" are robbing folks like Awkward of their agency in their sexuality and working to further entrench their privilege.
The post brought to mind the excellent and essential "Don't you realize fat is unhealthy?" from Shapely Prose:
7. Human beings deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Fat people are human beings.
8. Even fat people who are unhealthy still deserve dignity and respect. Still human beings. See how that works?
9. In any case, shaming teh fatties for being "unhealthy" doesn't fucking help. If shame made people thin, there wouldn't be a fat person in this country, trust me. I wish I could remember who said this, 'cause it's one of my favorite quotes of all time: "You cannot hate people for their own good." [emphasis in context]
If health is not mentioned in an individual's discussion of their problematized body - in sexuality, or size, or gender identification - interrogating them on their health is a condescending display of privilege. It de-legitimizes and others their experiences, and robs them of an identity, reducing non-standard agency to simple, nonthreatening sickness.
Bottom line: other people's health are not your business. Their body belongs solely to them, and do not exist to soothe threats to your privilege.

Arsenal kick off the new Premier League season against Sunderland at Emirates Stadium on Saturday, and GunnersGaming make them 3/8 shots for a winning start.
Arsène Wenger's side have lost just one of their last 17 league games against the Black Cats, while manager Martin O'Neill has not enjoyed a happy record against his French counterpart over the years.
The Ulsterman has only won one of 16 Premier League meetings between the pair as a manager (W1 D6 L9), although that came in a 2-0 victory at the Emirates with Aston Villa in November 2008.
That may suggest Wenger has the upper hand on O'Neill, as was the case when Arsenal beat Sunderland 2-1 both home and away in the league last season. That scoreline is 83/10 with GunnersGaming, but the Football Predictor suggests Arsenal will win 2-0.
However, we fancy Arsenal to win by a more emphatic scoreline despite this week's imminent departure of Robin van Persie to Manchester United.
But the recent additions of Olivier Giroud, Lukas Podolski and Santi Cazorla have given the Gunners far more options on the forward line.
GunnersGaming likes the look of 3-0 and 3-1, and those scorelines can be backed at 31/5 and 23/2 respectively.
So who will get that all important first goal? The first goalscorer market has taken on a far more open look, and Giroud appeals at 17/5 with GunnersGaming to mark his debut in style.
The Frenchman has the physical presence to cause the Sunderland backline problems, and one of his major strengths is his aerial presence. That may well prove a major asset in this clash given that 28 per cent of the goals Sunderland conceded last season were headers - the highest proportion in the top flight.
Arsenal to score first at 4/7 looks an informed bet as the stats reveal that Arsenal are traditionally quick out of the blocks and scored more goals in the opening 15 minutes than any other team in the 2011-12 Premier League (12).
Finally, GunnersGaming have been running a campaign on to Twitter to see what specials fans would like to see. How about Arsenal winning more trophies than Manchester United this season, available at 3/1?
What's more if you are new to GunnersGaming we will give you a £25 free bet* to get you started! With hundreds of different markets to choose from and unique Arsenal prizes to win, GunnersGaming is the Official Betting Partner of Arsenal.

There are not many companies out there that included everything I needed..plus also...I am picky about how I organize my life..hahaReplyDelete
Have a Happy New Year!!

Very interesting drawing, the style really makes you think ,, the realism gives you the willies,,,Very creative, like the time you put into all the amazing details
Beautiful and intriguing... it seems to me that she felt that death was her only and last option, and so she chose it, resigned and calm. What's interesting is that although she had already made her decision, here she is still clinging to life.
wow..............5/5 awesome work
Couldn't possibly more realistic!
This is fantastic. The soapy water and especially the way her hair really looks like it's afloat in th water, swirling in her face. Beautiful work and... oh the details! :)
