|YOU DON'T NEED NEW TIRES TO GET AN ALIGNMENT!!!!! I'm not sure why people think that, you said you were going to get it aligned anyway then just do it. The alignment heads attach to the wheels so tires don't matter unless you plan on changing sizes or rims.
For a small investment in time, you can get the toe-in set yourself in your driveway, and get the steering wheel straight.
Get a couple of 2x4's that are about a foot longer than the diameter of your tires. Lay them along the sidewall of your front tires on the ground with your wheels pointed straight ahead. Put some riser blocks under them so they rest against the sidewall of the tire above the bulge and are hanging past the tire about the same front and rear. With a tape measure, measure the distance from the outside of the 2 x 4 on one side of the car to the outside of the 2 x 4 on the opposite side on the rear side of the tires. Make sure to keep the tape up next to the tread and then write down the figure. Then measure the same way on the front side of the tires. Subtract the front dimension from the rear and that is your toe setting. If it is toe-in, the front dimension will be smaller, toe-out the front dimension will be bigger.
To adjust the toe, loosen the lock nuts on the outer tie rod ends and turn the tie rods in or out to adjust the setting. Once the toe is set, you can then straighten the steering wheel. In your case you will need to shorten the right tie rod about 1/4 turn and lengthen the left exactly the same amount if the car is rear steer. If it is front steer, lengthen the right and shorten the left side. You must move each side the same amount so as not to change the overall toe setting. Take it for a test drive and see if the steering wheel is centered, if not, adjust some more. Rolling the front tires onto a small pile of newspaper on the floor will help you be able to turn the tires easier while you are making adjustments. Test drive and recheck the toe setting.
When you are ready, get the whole front end aligned.
|Better do something fast because if the alignment is out that far, it's going to eat up the tires that's on there now. If it's going to be awhile till you can afford new one's you might want to take it and see if it can be aligned as close as possible without a warranty. The alignment tech can also tell you if there is any other damage like bent tie rods so you know what needs replaced.
I need a allignment?
I just got done putting my 98camaro back together after hitting a center median..long story short, when its going strait the streering wheel its cocked to the right about 1/4. I replaced the rack and pinion and havnt got it alligned because im getting new tires soon..but its annoying driving it like this. Can I play with the tie rod ends untill its somewhat normal? I will allign it soon as I get some new tires. Thanks guys.

Ohio EPA's water quality certification requirements help reduce impacts to wetlands, streams, rivers or other waters of the state from the construction of a drill site.
For units or activities at the site that emit air pollutants, Ohio EPA may require a permit-to-install and operate (PTIO). A general permit is available for emissions associated with the production phase of the oil or gas well.
Where drill cuttings come into contact with sources of contamination (e.g. synthetic drilling muds, oils and chemical additives) and cuttings are to be shipped off-site for disposal, Ohio EPA considers these materials contaminated soil, which must be managed as a solid waste. These solid wastes must be sent to a permitted solid waste disposal facility. Ohio EPA will also consider proposals to beneficially reuse contaminated soils. If a company is interested in beneficially reusing contaminated soils, it must get authorization for this activity from Ohio EPA's Division of Materials and Waste Management (DMWM) prior to sending the cuttings off-site.
ODNR-DOGRM regulates brine disposal in Ohio, including permitting and oversight of Class II underground injection wells used for disposal of waste fluids from oil and gas drilling/production operations. ODNR also registers transporters hauling these fluids in Ohio.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Oil and Gas Resources Management (ODNR-DOGRM) has primary regulatory authority over oil and gas drilling activity in Ohio, including rules for well construction, siting, design and operation.

I used to know what it meant
to self-preserve from love,
to stop a fool from being sent
to a world where no heart moves.
I never used to speak out
in fear of being broken;
and I always used to doubt
if love were ever spoken.
That prison in which I stayed,
I stayed in with no route;
no planned escape had I made
to be free and to break out.
But somehow my walls broke down,
leaving me defenseless,
allowing me to begin
a new life in new darkness.
This new sadness is too deep
for slight smiles to conceal--
too down deep, even, to reap--
smiles, in fact, feed its appeal.
You're the one for me to blame,
though hate can't love always;
I'll both hate and love in shame,
but it must not tilt one way.

One of the guys in the IGN Live Assassins Creed 3 trailer launch is wearing a woot shirt.

On episode #8 of Game On on the TWiT network, Veronica Belmont was wearing A Lot Of This Going Around
Nice shot. Looks like a scene from the exorcist.
As promised, I kept track of the woot shirts I saw people wearing at TotalCon, a board game/RPG convention here in Massachusetts. It wasn't quite as much of a shirt-woot-rich environment as I expected, but I did see at least one every day!
Thursday 2/23/12
I wore: Do Not Pass Go
I saw: He'll Probably Be Okay - which will now go down in my personal history as The First Woot Shirt I Ever Saw Someone Other Than Myself Wearing
Friday 2/24/12
I wore: In the Library With the Wrench - I got a lot of comments on this one; people seemed to really dig it. One guy even said "Hey, you're wearing a woot shirt!" He was wearing a Settlers of Catan shirt at the time, but said that he has several woot shirts and his favorite is "The Binge".
I saw: Click or Treat - I had another conversation about woot shirts with the guy who was wearing it, too.
Saturday 2/25/12
I wore: They Call Me... Tim - I had run out of board-game-related shirts by this point, but I figured this would serve just as well to show my geek cred.
I saw: The Binge - Finally! In spite of this being the most popular woot shirt, I've never seen anyone wearing it before. I spotted it on a guy at the hotel's breakfast buffet, which I thought was kind of apropos. And it wasn't the same person who told me on Friday that it was his favorite woot shirt, so I now know firsthand that at least two people own it.
Life Choices - This one really stands out in person! I spotted it from pretty far away, so I didn't get a chance to say anything to the woman who was wearing it.
Also on Saturday, I made it to the semi-finals of the regional qualifiers for the national Settlers of Catan tournament! That was way better than I was expecting to do, and even though I knew I'd get crushed in the semi-finals (and did), it was still really exciting! Err... what was that I said about geek cred? *gigglesnorts, pushes glasses up nose*
I saw: Odd Bear Out - I happened to spot this in the hallway, worn by the guy who was sporting "Click or Treat" on Friday. He was a big guy, too - more proof that burly men can totally pull off woot shirts with adorable animals on them!
Sadly, my boyfriend got a really bad case of food poisoning on Saturday night, so we didn't end up doing anything at the con on Sunday (although a friend who was there with us did win the Stone Age tournament they were holding!). I don't remember what shirt I wore, but I don't think I bothered dipping into my shirt.woot stash just to go back and forth from the hotel room to the car. I might have missed out on a woot shirt or two that day, but it was cool to spot as many as I did over the rest of the weekend!
BTW, for anyone who lives in southern New England (and not necessarily even that close - I know people came from Maine and Albany, and probably further away too) and enjoys board games or RPGs, I highly recommend TotalCon! It's relatively cheap and TONS of fun.
Spotted Super Effective at the VancouFur convention over the weekend... (I wore Warpigs, The Cheese is a Liederkranz and Clockwork Crow - all three were commented on positively throughout the weekend.)
Spotted The Umbrellas and the Foxfall hoodie on Monday!
I saw the Binge about 3 months ago before I even knew about shirt woot. It was so funny!
i work in retail so i see a lot of random people in a days time. my funniest woot shirt story does not involve a woot shirt at all. one night a couple of guys came through and i said to one of them "i own that shirt, too" and he said "it's a woot shirt" and i had to burst his bubble. it was actually one from threadless called 'time fades'.
i have seen two woot shirts in my store, although i did not strike up any woot related conversations with their wearers. quite some time ago i saw 'revenge of the damsels' and one day last week a couple of one of my coworkers friends came in to visit her and one of them was wearing 'lucky park'.
Saw only 2 Woot shirts on my fortnight in the Bay area. Both royal blue, but neither was "The Binge".
2 weeks ago went out for sushi lunch in Sunnyvale and saw a guy wearing "Fresh Ideas". Also spotted "Misfortune" on the rack at a Goodwill in Campbell this past Tuesday.
I saw one or two in public. One time a Fry's Electronics employee even said to me "Nice Woot shirt" and then had the pleasure to explain to an older lady what Woot is. Also I saw them from time to time on DudeLikeHella and KatersOneSeven on YouTube...
I was watching season one of The Big Bang Theory again and noticed that Leonard was wearing Global Thermonuclear War:
In the last few weeks in San Antonio I've seen Ghost Writer, The Binge and Cell Division. I also saw Aztec Sunset at Disney World in December.

No problem - those shirts rule! If I saw another board game-themed print from you and Walmazan, I might even have to give in and buy it on Anvil! (I know you tried with "Ukraine is Strong", so I totally understand if you guys are burned out on the concept.)
Once again, I'm posting this belatedly, but I have another sighting. I was at a They Might Be Giants/Jonathan Coulton show in Providence, RI last Friday and spotted someone wearing Minor Modifications.
I was wearing Ironic Bunny, which is one of my favorites. Although, I would probably refer to half of the woot shirts I own as "my favorites", so that doesn't narrow it down that much!

That's so wierd... check out the episode The Luminous Fish Effect, from the point when Leonard is walking up the stairs with Sheldon's mother and see what you think of it. He's wearing a jacket with it but I totally thought it was that shirt.
Saw "Winning the Race" on Saturday...
Spotted a Bantha-phant at Disneyworld either yesterday or today, it all blurs together after a while . . .
I saw We're More Than Famous at the hospital today. It looked really good, made me wish I'd bought it... one day too late.
A Walmazan has been discovered in the land of nature films
Not by me of course.
Yes, It's safe to click.
Edit: link is broken now.
I saw a guy wearing The Cheese is a Liederkranz behind me in line at Lowes this weekend. I would have said something but I felt bad for holding up the line buying a washing machine.
Does George Takei posting The Three Classical States of Matter on his facebook page count?
Saw someone wearing Going to a Cheesier Place at the bridge tournament in Memphis. Looked really good across the room - made me think I should have bought it.
Earlier this week, at an author event in Harvard Square, I spotted someone wearing The Birthplace of Inspiration. The print on that shirt looks great in person... seeing it in real life made me regret my decision not to get it for my bf, which I had thought about for a while before it was reckoned.
After a full year of wooting in which I never saw a single woot shirt in the wild, I now feel like I'm seeing them everywhere. Okay, 3 discrete locations does not technically add up to "everywhere", but still... the woot shirts seem to be coming out of the woodwork around me this month!
missmelis wrote:... the woot shirts seem to be coming out of the woodwork around me this month!
So... out of the wootwork?
Saw All Hands on Deck today. I have a copy too - great shirt.
Warmer weather means we will be seeing more shirts in the wild. Leastways that's my guess.
Fujiko wrote:So... out of the wootwork?
Indeed! +1 for that pun...
I saw That Is The Question at the Whole Foods in Winston-Salem yesterday. My husband was wearing a woot shirt, but had it covered up by a sweatshirt, so it wasn't visible.
i saw my first wild woot this weekend! at academy in san antonio, i saw a guy wearing In the Library with the Wrench, one of my absolute all time favorite shirts (and one that i missed out on because i came to woot too late...sad face). i said something to him about it, and we talked about woot for like 10 minutes. it was awesome. it felt like we were part of some secret club or something.
we are the wooters...world beware.
and i didn't see any other woot shirts there, but i wore my Aquired Taste to a gun show on saturday and got a lot of comments.
I (think I) saw a Caffeine Powerup today. I live in a rural area and never saw one here, but on spring break in San Antonio: ding! I also happened to be wearing Epic Fail at the time. I'll probably will see more as I'm heading to Seattle in July. (If it doesn't rain the entire time.)
I saw some one on campus (UH) where the nude cupcake shirt Houston, TX.
I just found this thread. I didn't even know it existed. I posted this on the shirts thread, but I'll post it here:
Just in case no one else noticed...uniCONE has been on the news! It started with this kid's thank you letter to a meteorologist that went viral. Here's the story:
Local Students thank you note goes viral
THEN...the kid was interviewed on KVUE and he wore this shirt! Check it out!
Author of best thank you note ever!
As soon as I saw the kid in the shirt, I thought "huh..that looks like a woot! shirt". So I came here to make sure it was it, and it was!
I was watching Nadia G's Bitchin' Kitchen (episode labeled Underground Nadventures)tonight after I got home. The last "underground subculture" they were making fun of was "The Gamer" and lo-and behold, there was a shirt.woot tee:
tjost's The Binge
saw "thats how i roll" in linear algebra this morning. the color was such much bolder then shown online it looked great! you go ochopika!
Spotted "The Cheese is a Liederkranz" on the guy who does the meankitty channel on YouTube, if anyone remembers him.
A panel speaker at Anime Boston today was wearing a "The Binge" shirt.
I saw "Grilled Cheese" today, on a barista at Unicorn in Evanston. I was all "hello there, barista, I am pointing out that you are wearing a shirt.woot shirt!" and he was all "good eye! you know your shirts!" and then I was like "I'm a volmod there--yeah, I'm a pretty big deal on the internets" and then he was like "woah, you are so cool! you must get a lot of free shirts!" and then I so went "hahaha! yeah I get PAID in shirts like a BAU555! My house is built out of shirt bricks because I am so shirt rich from my shirt volmodding!" and he was like all "wow, that's so awesome I should be your friend" and then I was all "uh, hahaha no not really, for serious I get nothing, why am I so bad at jokes?" and then I like totally took my bag o' beans and scurried the hells away because why am I allowed out in public?
So there was that.

Goldenthorn, I love your posts. They make me laugh, like, totally!
This isn't exactly a "sighting" but I thought it fit here:
Weekend before last I was out on base at Ft. Bragg, NC for a music/atheist festival called Rock Beyond Belief. I wore Schrodinger's Equation, and 7 different people stopped me and told me that they owned the shirt as well. Considering the festival had about 5-6000 attendees, 8 people who owned the same Woot shirt seems statistically significant.

Sunday show hosts allow Republicans to misinform about Kagan
Several Sunday talk show hosts allowed GOP lawmakers to push misinformation about Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, without challenging or questioning their statements. The hosts of CNN's State of the Union, Fox News Sunday, and Meet the Press allowed Republican senators to advance already debunked claims about Kagan's stance toward the Second Amendment, her opinions about Israel's Judge Barak, and her actions regarding military recruitment at Harvard Law School.
Sunday talk show hosts allow GOP attacks on Kagan to go unchallenged
CNN's Crowley allows Cornyn to attack Kagan as having "expressed hostility to Second Amendment rights" and claimed Kagan "refus[ed] to allow military recruiters to come to Harvard." On the June 27 edition of CNN's State of the Union, host Candy Crowley failed to challenge Sen John Cornyn (R-TX) as he promoted misleading attacks on Elena Kagan. Cornyn claimed Kagan "has expressed hostility to Second Amendment rights, saying she wasn't sympathetic to arguments of gun owners." Cornyn also claimed she "has been very much involved" in "hot-button issues of the day." Cornyn cited her involvement in the military recruiting at Harvard Law School, claiming she "refus[ed] to allow military recruiters to come to Harvard, notwithstanding the fact that they received federal dollars and it violated the congressionally passed Soloman Amendment." Crowley then asked Cornyn if "the President could have nominated anybody that you would have liked" but did not challenge any of his earlier attacks.
Fox's Wallace does not challenge Graham's misleading remarks on military recruitment at Harvardand Kagan's past praise of Judge Barak. On Fox Broadcasting Company's Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace did not challenge any of Sen. Lindsey Graham's (R-SC) attacks on Elena Kagan. Graham said "the one thing that bugs me about her is when she embraces Judge Barak from Israel...as her hero, that to me is embracing liberal activism, not mainstream liberalism." Graham indicated that if Kagan did not explain her past praise of Barak to his satisfaction, he may be inclined to vote against her confirmation. Graham also pushed the military recruitment attack, claiming "this policy at Harvard about not allowing military recruiters to come to law school is going to be problematic for most Americans." Wallace did not challenge either of these attacks.
NBC's Gregory does not challenge McCain's false claim that Kagan had "zealous opposition to military recruiters, to the presence of the military" at Harvard, instead asks, "Is that disqualifying?" On NBC's Meet the Press, host David Gregory did not challenge Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) misleading statement about Kagan and military recruitment. McCain said "I'll tell you one thing I am disturbed about, was her obvious steadfast and even zealous opposition to military recruiters, to the presence of military on the campus of the most prestigious university, in the view of many, in America." Instead of challenging this statement, Gregory asked "Is that disqualifying?"
In fact, Kagan did not ban military recruiters from Harvard Law campus
Harvard students had access to military recruiters during Kagan's entire tenure as dean. Contrary to the claim that Kagan "banned" military recruiters from Harvard Law School, throughout Kagan's tenure as dean, Harvard law students had access to military recruiters [1] -- either through Harvard Law's Office of Career Services (OCS) or through the Harvard Law School Veterans Association.
Kagan became [2] dean of Harvard Law in June 2003 and continued the school's policy of granting the military a special exception to its nondiscrimination policy so that the military could work with the law school's OCS. In accordance with the nondiscrimination policy, Kagan barred [3] OCS from working with military recruiters for the spring 2005 semester after the U.S Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit ruled that law schools could legally do so. During that one semester, students still had access to military recruiters via the Harvard Law School Veterans Association. During the fall 2005 semester, after the Bush administration threatened to revoke Harvard's federal funding, Kagan once again granted [3] military recruiters access to OCS.
Former Harvard Law dean debunked claim that Kagan banned military recruiters. In a May 11 Wall Street Journal op-ed [4], Robert C. Clark -- Kagan's predecessor as dean of Harvard Law School -- explained:
As dean, Ms. Kagan basically followed a strategy toward military recruiting that was already in place. Here, some background may be helpful: Since 1979, the law school has had a policy requiring all employers who wish to use the assistance of the School's Office of Career Services (OCS) to schedule interviews and recruit students to sign a statement that they do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, and so on.
For years, the U.S. military, because of its "don't ask, don't tell" policy, was not able to sign such a statement and so did not use OCS. It did, however, regularly recruit on campus because it was invited to do so by an official student organization, the Harvard Law School Veterans Association.
The symbolic effect of this special treatment of military recruiters was important, but the practical effect on recruiting logistics was minimal. In 2002, however, the Air Force took a hard line with Harvard and argued that this pattern did not provide strictly equal access for military recruiters and thus violated the 1996 Solomon Amendment, which denies certain federal funds to an education institution that "prohibits or in effect prevent" military recruiting. It credibly threatened to bring an end to federal funding of all research at the university.
After much deliberation with the president of Harvard and other university officials, we decided to make an exception for the military to the school's nondiscrimination policy. At the same time, I, along with many faculty and students, publicly stated our opposition to the military's policy, which we considered both unwise and unjust, even as we explicitly affirmed our profound gratitude to the military. Virtually all law schools affiliated with large universities did the same.
When Ms. Kagan became dean in July of 2003, she upheld this newer policy. Military recruiters used OCS services, but at the beginning of each interviewing season she wrote a public memorandum explaining the exception to the school's nondiscrimination policy, stating her objection to "don't ask, don't tell," and expressing her strong view that military service is a noble and socially valuable career path that should be encouraged and open to all of our graduates.
Harvard's data show that Kagan's actions did not hurt military recruitment. Data Media Matters for America obtained from Harvard Law School's public information officer shows that military recruitment does not appear to have been hurt by Kagan's actions. The prohibition on Harvard Law's (OCS) working with military recruiters existed during the spring 2005 semester, meaning that it could have affected only the classes of 2005, 2006, and 2007. However, the number of graduates from each of those classes who entered the military was equal to or greater than the number who entered the military from any of Harvard's previous five classes.
Kagan's support for the military is well established. Responding to a January 30, 2009, Washington Times op-ed [5] by Flagg Youngblood labeling Kagan an "anti-military zealot," three Iraq war veterans attending Harvard Law School wrote in a letter to the editor [6] that Kagan has "created an environment that is highly supportive of students who have served in the military" and that "[u]nder her leadership, Harvard Law School has also gone out of its way to highlight our military service." The veterans also stated that their support for military recruiting at the school "has not diminished our appreciation for Miss Kagan's embrace of veterans on campus." The Harvard Law Record later reported [7] on the veterans' letter, quoting Iraq veteran Geoff Orazem as saying, "Kagan has great respect for the military." At Volokh Conspiracy, a group blog run by mostly conservative law professors, George Mason University law professor Ilya Somin wrote [8]: "I don't see any reason to believe that [Kagan's decision on military recruiters] reflects a general hostility towards the armed forces." The Hill reported [9] on May 13 that Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) stated after meeting with Kagan and discussing the military recruiter issue: "[I]t was very clear to me after we spoke about it at length that she is supportive of the men and women who are fighting to protect us and very supportive of the military as a whole." Brown added, "I do not feel that her judicial philosophy will be hurting men and women who are serving."
Kagan's memo on gun law was not controversial
Report: In 1987 memo, Kagan wrote she was "not sympathetic" to argument that Second Amendment protected civilian gun rights. A May 13 Bloomberg News article [10] reported:
Elena Kagan said as a U.S. Supreme Court law clerk in 1987 that she was "not sympathetic" toward a man who contended that his constitutional rights were violated when he was convicted for carrying an unlicensed pistol.
Kagan, whom President Barack Obama nominated to the high court this week, made the comment to Justice Thurgood Marshall, urging him in a one-paragraph memo to vote against hearing the District of Columbia man's appeal.
The man's "sole contention is that the District of Columbia's firearms statutes violate his constitutional right to 'keep and bear arms,' " Kagan wrote. "I'm not sympathetic."
In 2008, Stevens and three other justices agreed that the Second Amendment did not protect gun rights for non-military purposes. In a dissent to District of Columbia v. Heller, the case that struck down Washington, D.C.'s handgun ban, Justice John Paul Stevens, who Kagan has been nominated to replace, stated that "there is no indication that the Framers of the Amendment intended to enshrine the common-law right of self-defense in the Constitution." Stevens' dissent was joined by Justices David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Stephen Breyer. From Stevens' dissent [11]:
Guns are used to hunt, for self-defense, to commit crimes, for sporting activities, and to perform military duties. The Second Amendment plainly does not protect the right to use a gun to rob a bank; it is equally clear that it does encompass the right to use weapons for certain military purposes. Whether it also protects the right to possess and use guns for nonmilitary purposes like hunting and personal self-defense is the question presented by this case. The text of the Amendment, its history, and our decision in United States v. Miller, 307 U. S. 174 (1939) , provide a clear answer to that question.
The Second Amendment was adopted to protect the right of the people of each of the several States to maintain a well-regulated militia. It was a response to concerns raised during the ratification of the Constitution that the power of Congress to disarm the state militias and create a national standing army posed an intolerable threat to the sovereignty of the several States. Neither the text of the Amendment nor the arguments advanced by its proponents evidenced the slightest interest in limiting any legislature's authority to regulate private civilian uses of firearms. Specifically, there is no indication that the Framers of the Amendment intended to enshrine the common-law right of self-defense in the Constitution.
In 1987, no Supreme Court or federal appellate court decision had found that the Second Amendment protected the right to carry guns for non-military purposes. Kagan wrote [12] the memo Cornyn was citing in 1987. In Heller, a 2008 case, Stevens cited United States v. Miller, a 1934 Supreme Court case that upheld a ban on sawed-off shotguns, and stated: "Since our decision in Miller, hundreds of judges have relied on the view of the Amendment we endorsed there; we ourselves affirmed it in 1980." Stevens also stated [13]:
Until the Fifth Circuit's decision in United States v. Emerson, 270 F. 3d 203 (2001), every Court of Appeals to consider the question had understood Miller to hold that the Second Amendment does not protect the right to possess and use guns for purely private, civilian purposes.
Supreme Court justices have often used the term "sympathetic" to refer to their agreement with legal arguments. As Media Matters has noted [14], Supreme Court justices often use the term "sympathetic" to refer to agreement with legal arguments. The term "not sypmathetic, in the legal context, does not connote personal political views.
Like Kagan, conservatives have praised Israeli Judge Barak
Scalia presented Barak with an award. The American Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists (AAJLJ) honored Barak with its Pursuit of Justice Award in March 2007 at its International Conference, hosted by American University's Washington College of Law. A program [15] for the event said Scalia was scheduled to present the award to Barak during a reception at the U.S. Supreme Court; the Spring 2008 issue of Justice Magazine, a publication by the International Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists (IAJLJ) called [16] Scalia's presentation the "highlight of the conference."
The Jewish Daily Forward described Scalia's remarks as "singing Barak's praises." In a July 10, 2007, profile [17] in the Jewish Daily Forward, Benjamin Soskis wrote that during the reception, Scalia was "singing Barak's praises," even as he "addressed the other obvious disparity between himself and the honoree." From the article:
With the court's two Jewish justices looking on (Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, also two of the most enthusiastic champions of foreign court decisions as juridical resources), Scalia offered a moving tribute to his "good friend" Barak. No other living jurist has had a greater impact on his own country's legal system -- and perhaps on legal systems throughout the world -- Scalia argued. He went on to celebrate his fruitful and long-standing relationship with the Israeli judge, and to affirm a profound respect for the man, one that trumped their fundamental philosophical, legal and constitutional disagreements.
Forward: Scalia described Barak as a "judicial pioneer." Soskis also reported in the article that while Scalia noted differences between his and Barak's judicial philosophies, he "exposed a crucial condition of their intellectual camaraderie: the recognition that the substantial differences of the constitutional systems in which they operated necessarily produced divergent judicial philosophies." From the article:
In his celebration of Barak, Scalia had described him as a judicial pioneer, stressing that the Israeli judge had struggled with questions concerning the nature and limits of his responsibilities as a jurist that Scalia, as a resident of a more mature constitutional system, had not had to confront. With this pronouncement, Scalia exposed a crucial condition of their intellectual camaraderie: the recognition that the substantial differences of the constitutional systems in which they operated necessarily produced divergent judicial philosophies. This insinuation angered Boston University's Lahav. At the ceremony's conclusion, she approached Barak, her former teacher, to complain that Scalia had celebrated his friend only to sequester him within the exceptionality of the Israeli legal system. Why didn't you confront Scalia, she asked, and let him know that he, too, could follow your example, championing vulnerable rights and liberties, if he only willed to do so?
IAJLJ president: Holocaust survivor Barak's life exemplifies "a life filled with hope for a Jewish society based on freedom, justice and human dignity." According to Justice Magazine, at the same conference at which Scalia presented Barak with an award, IAJLJ president Alex Hertman said [16]:
"The life of Aharon Barak, a child survivor of the Holocaust, symbolizes the victory of the Jewish people over those who tried to destroy them," said IAJLJ President Alex Hertman. "His life exemplifies a victory of values over violence, a victory of excellence over mediocrity, and a life filled with hope for a Jewish society based on freedom, justice and human dignity as opposed to a society living by the sword."
Fried tied Dworkin's "picture...of a judge, superman, a mythical character, whom he calls Hercules" to Barak. At a 2002 event sponsored by the Harvard Law Review, Fried spoke immediately after Barak and said [18]:
FRIED: The philosopher Ronald Dworkin -- in his, I think, chef-d'oeuvre, his absolutely best piece written many years ago and published in the Harvard Law Review, which was called "Hard Cases" -- develops a theory of judging. And his picture is of a judge, superhuman, a mythical character, whom he calls Hercules, who manages to integrate -- and I use the word integrate in the mathematical sense where you [gestures] -- manages to integrate the principle elements of law and judging, that is to say text, history, custom, precedent and to come up with the one right answer. It is a remarkable experience to be in the presence of and to have just heard a lecture from a living myth. Because Hercules lives, and you have just heard from him. (42:45 mark of the C-SPAN video)

Designing a Space for Photography -- What You Need to Know!Pin It
When I showed you my revamped shed last week, I mentioned that I designed it with photography in mind. While I do most of my product shots in my home or on the back porch, I often find that my clean, open spaces and cute vignettes around the hosue have been covered in coloring books, bread crumbs and dirty laundry. (It happens.) When I decided to make the shed a girly house, I did it with an overall concern for providing spaces for taking photographs. No one goes in this shed, save myself, so everything stays as is when I need it for a photoshoot.
1. The first thing I decided on? WHITE. I have wanted a white on white on white room for a long time, and I love white backgrounds for photos AND I had 1/2 a gallon of white paint in the basement. It was an easy decision. I painted as many surfaces as I could with the paint, and made sure the window wall and potting bench were first priority. The long, flat, white surface of the potting bench near the window is ideal for product shots.
2. After giving everything a coat of white, I moved on to creating little vignettes all around the space. Using prints ripped out of a coffee table book and various (pink!) accessories, each little "cubby" in the shed is it's own little backdrop.
3. Speaking of light, it was a major consideration before deciding to revamp the shed. There is one window in the shed, but that one window provides a shocking amount of light. I built the entire room around that one window, considering the way the light fell at different times of the day. whiel I sometimes use a flash for traditional product lighting, I much prefer to capture natural shadows of the rising or falling light in my photos. This window provides the perfect source of light adn the little pom pom curtains (thrift store!) are the perfect filter.
1. Color -- Do you want a standard white background or do you want a red cast on everything?
2. Background -- Leave some backgrounds solid, but change up wall sections for different looks.
3. Light -- Make sure you have a steady light source, that provides good light at the time of day you normally shoot, or create a full lighting setup.
4. Accessories -- Be consistent with the accessories that you choose, and try to stay away from anything gimmicky.
There you go - a mini photostudio! ...and FREE is as cheap as it gets! ;)

Be aware that w/o the finger extension, it's hard to get a good grip on the SK.
I have a USPcompact. I almost got the P2000, but I like the frame safety on the USP - I can keep it cocked and locked.
My regular pistol is a P99 compact, though. If I didn't have that, I'd probably buy a P2000. I think I'd personally prefer the P2000 over the SK - There isn't much size difference anyway.
That being said, I have only heard pos things about it. Just figure out if you want the LEM trigger or the regular DA/SA one.

4 Big Stocks on Traders' Radars - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- Put down the 10-K filings and the stock screeners. It's time to take a break from the traditional methods of generating investment ideas. Instead, let the crowd do it for you.
>>5 Surprise Stocks the Pros Love Right Now
From hedge funds to individual investors, scores of market participants are turning to social media to figure out which stocks are worth watching. It's a concept that's known as "crowdsourcing," and it uses the masses to identify emerging trends in the market.
Crowdsourcing has long been a popular tool for the advertising industry, but it also makes a lot of sense as an investment tool. After all, the market is completely driven by the supply and demand, so it can be valuable to see what names are trending among the crowd.
>>5 Stocks Under $10 Set to Soar
While some fund managers are already trying to leverage social media resources like Twitter to find algorithmic trading opportunities, for most investors, crowdsourcing works best as a starting point for investors who want a starting point in their analysis. Today, we'll leverage the power of the crowd to take a look at some of the most active stocks on the market today.
These "most active" names are the most heavily-traded names on the market -- and often, uber-active names have some sort of a technical or fundamental catalyst driving investors' attention on shares. That's especially true now that earnings season is officially underway. And when there's a big catalyst, there's often a trading opportunity.
>>5 Stocks With Big Insider Buying
Without further ado, here's a look at today's stocks.
Nearest Resistance: N/A
Nearest Support: $34
Catalyst: Earnings Carryover
>>5 Tech Stocks Triggering Breakouts
First up is Facebook (FB), a name that's one of the most active stocks for the second week in a row after posting strong earnings numbers on July 24. It's not so much that FB posted good earnings that's sent it soaring in the days since the release. Instead, shares broke out to new 52-week highs on the heels of the earnings numbers, and that left FB without any resistance from a technical standpoint.
Making new highs is significant from an investor psychology standpoint because it means that everyone who has bought shares in the last year is sitting on gains. As a result, the "back to even" mentality is less of a concern than it would be for a name with a higher proportion of shareholders sitting on losses. If you're looking for an entry, I'd suggest waiting -- momentum is showing signs of fatigue.
Chesapeake Energy
Nearest Resistance: $25
Nearest Support: $23.50
Catalyst: Earnings
>>5 Big Stocks to Trade for Gains
The same exact thing is happening over at Chesapeake Energy (CHK) following the firm's second-quarter earnings numbers. Chesapeake earned 66 cents per share for the quarter, besting Wall Street's meager 41-cent expectations by a big margin. Shares are up more that 6% in today's session as a result.
CHK looks strong from a technical standpoint too. While $25 looks like intraday resistance for CHK right now, it's not a particularly strong price ceiling. For investors who aren't risk-averse, I'd suggest putting on a position in today's session -- just keep a tight stop in place.
Rite Aid
Nearest Resistance: $3.20
Nearest Support: $2.70
Catalyst: July Sales Release
>>5 Stocks Set to Soar on Bullish Earnings
Retail pharmacy chain Rite Aid (RAD) is getting some attention this afternoon, after the firm released its July sales report to Wall Street. Same-store-sales increased 1.3% in the last month, a strong boost for a firm that's already seen its fair share of fundamental strength in 2013. Today's 5% increase in shares could just be the first step.
That's because RAD is currently forming a bullish ascending triangle pattern. The setup is formed by horizontal resistance at $3.20 and uptrending support to the downside of shares. I'd recommend becoming a buyer if RAD is able to print above $3.20 -- then it makes sense to keep a protective stop at the 50-day moving average.
Nearest Resistance: N/A
Nearest Support: $38
Catalyst: Q2 Earnings
>>5 REITs to Trade for August Gains
Last, but certainly not least, is Trulia (TRLA), the $1.5 billion real estate search engine company that went public in September. Shares may not have had a very long public history, but it's been an impressive one: TRLA has doubled since its first trade. Today, the stock is up more than 22% after posting impressive second quarter results.
New highs may be anxiety-inducing for investors who've missed out on a big move up, but they're a lot less anxiety-inducing for current shareholders. That's a big reason why uptrends historically continue moving up -- and why now looks like as good a time as any for investors who aren't risk-averse to think about picking up shares of TRLA. It's got upside potential in August for the same psychological reasons as Facebook.

NH goes Fourth in style
By BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader | July 04. 2013 8:17PM

(Mark Bolton/Union Leader)
"It's big time, it's appreciation for what we've got," said Mark Orshak of Manchester, clad in a colonial-styled shirt depicting the American flag. "I think it's celebrated more and more since 9/11 and what happened in Boston kind of spurs it now."
Ashley and Oscar Castro brought their three children, Cameron, 9, Caden, 6, and Colby, 1, each clad in patriotic-colored rugby-style shirts.
Tradition was also behind the shirt celebrating the American flag worn by Amelia Szelog, 18, of Manchester.
Another 30 communities capped off Independence Day with fireworks Thursday.
Town officials promise "a very special fireworks show" to celebrate the town's recovery from the flooding.
"It doesn't change, it doesn't matter if we're in the middle of a conflict or in the most peaceful time, it's still the same," said Mike Rice of Nashua, who retired after 40 years service with the New Hampshire Army National Guard.
"I love how everyone comes together, to see the fireworks and hang out together" Jernigan said."
In Manchester, many have made the annual fireworks show a family tradition, first at Derryfield Park for years before the show moved to Arms Park in 1985."It is a long-standing tradition; my brother and I grew up in a house where the Fourth of July is celebrated," said Cathie Orshak of Manchester. "You just wouldn't be anywhere else but here."
