Order Status & Delivery
How can I tell if you've received my order?
After you submit your order, you'll see an order confirmation page. We'll also follow-up with an order confirmation e-mail message shortly, usually within an hour. The order confirmation e-mail includes your order number and customer number.
How do I know if my order has been shipped?
As soon as your order ships, we will e-mail you a shipping confirmation notice which includes a summary of your entire order. You can also check the status of an order online anytime by clicking on the 'Order Tracking' at the bottom of any page on our site. Once your order has shipped, you will be able to see the detailed tracking information from the shipping carrier. Once in awhile, we may send an order in multiple packages. If we do, we'll provide tracking information for each package, plus details on which items you can expect in which package.
How can I track my order?
You can check the status of a current Knit Picks order by clicking on the 'Order Tracking' link at the bottom of any page. If you have an order outstanding, you will see your order number, order date, status, and ship date. The status will either say 'Processing', 'On hold', 'Shipped', 'Declined', 'Partially Shipped', or 'Canceled'. For more details, click on your order number. You will see you billing and shipping addresses, the items in your order, your order number, and one of the following status designations. You'll also be able to check the order's current status, details from the shipping carrier's tracking service for each package (if applicable), and any return or exchange information.
"Your order is currently being processed":
This typically means that we've received your order, and we're working to get your items packaged quickly and carefully so we can get your order out our warehouse door and on its way.
"Your order is on backorder": The merchandise you requested is not available at this time. When it is available, we will ship it and charge your credit card.
"Your order is on hold - credit card declined": Hmmm. That's not good, is it? Please call customer service at 1-800-574-1323 for further information.
"Your order is on hold": There are several reasons your order could be placed on hold. Please call customer service at 1-800-574-1323 for more information.
"Your order has been fully shipped": That means your order has left our warehouse. Shipped orders are in the hands of one of our shipping carriers and on their way to you (or your gift recipient). Under 'Shipments', you can find your tracking number and shipping carrier so that you can track your package. Patience grasshopper. It's on its way.
"Your order has been partially shipped": Orders with multiple items might ship in separate boxes and maybe even at slightly different times. For more information about a 'Partially Shipped' order, click on specific line items on the 'Order Details' page.
"Your order has been cancelled": If you cancelled an order — and we were able to cancel it before it left out of our warehouse — its status will show as 'Cancelled' or simply 'X.' There may be other reasons for an order's cancellation. Don't worry, we'll e-mail you before we cancel an order. It won't come as an unpleasant surprise.

Report: Nene To Wizards, JaVale McGee To Nuggets In Three-Way Deal
Yes, the L.A. Clippers are getting Nick Young in a trade with the Washington Wizards, but the news doesn't end there -- the complete three-way deal includes the Wiz getting star center Nene from the Denver Nuggets, according to Michael Lee of the Washington Post:
[tweet https://twitter.com/MrMichaelLee/status/180377651373031425 align='center']
The news is shocking since Nene appeared all set to be a Nugget long-term -- he signed a five-year, $65 million contract in December and looked happy in the Mile High City. But in a surprising development, the Nuggets move their starting center and leading rebounder in the middle of a playoff-bound season at 24-19.
The Nuggets do get back JaVale McGee, who's five years younger and a better shot blocker, at 2.5 per game. McGee is also an expiring contract. The young center is making $2.5 million next season and headed for restricted free agency; it will be interesting to see whether they make him a qualifying offer and attempt to keep him in 2012-13.

Master Pierre
Purchased a gold warranty 4year 48000 miles for my 2006 bmw 550 msport with 53000 miles. However, i was happy to hear in the contract that i had 30 days to cancel for a full refund. Warranty costed me 3800. Talking to other people they sad it was pretty pricy. Dont like the fact that i paid so much money and it does not cover wear and tear. Do you guys know if warranty company would let me down grade to a silver plan? Further, you guys thnk warranty is work keeping? Thanks in advance for your opinion.

Okay, so the GLI is my other car and my wife was driving it, but still...
Over the last couple of weeks my wife and I have both had to drive to the same place in different cars a few times. When we do so I usually take the rex and try to make a game of it - race her on the on ramps, lose her in the corners, etc. I always dust her, but she promptly tells me she 'wasn't trying.' I believe her because with 200hp I think the GLI should sorta hang in there.
Anyhow, we were driving home last night and ended up next to each other at a stop light - each in our own left turn lane. I gunned the rex as we turned and quickly pulled about 4 car lengths on her. I could tell by the way she was shifting that she was trying to keep up.
I ended up as the first car at the next light and she pulled in right behind me. I checked the rearview and saw her flash me a look. I could tell she was going to make sure I didn't lose her again.
When the light turned green I pulled forward with no launch. I punched it in first at about 10mph and had at least 5 car lengths by the shift to second. When we got home my wife admitted that she was trying to keep up and that she had anticipated the punch.
So here's my question - With 200hp, less drivetrain power loss, and a race from a roll, shouldn't a GLI be able to make an interesting race for a stock rex? In other words, is it the car or is it the driver?
My wife will be interested to hear what you have to say - she's a good sport and it's all in good fun. She even wants me to mod the rex.

Fake drawer attachments
I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask but I hope someone knows where I can pick these up. I been to Lowes, Home Depot, and several home hardware stores. I need several of these little plastic clips that attaches fake drawers. I assume this is a very common item as I've seen these in several houses and they use this in track housing. Any help would be appreciated.
Sometimes it is easier to just replace all of them than to try to find the exact piece. Many of these devices come and go and you could drive all over and never find them.
personally, i'd just throw some JBWeld, epoxy or construction adhesive on the clips and glue it back on.
The problem is that some of the drawers clips broke on 'both sides', bottom and top, so there is nothing to glue. I don't mind going to something else but I still need a similar setup - some sort of clip on the fake drawer piece that hooks into the dollys. Granted I'm not exactly a handyman.
Could you just drill some holes in the face frame of the cabinet, then attach it with screws? No special tools needed. Assuming you can crawl into the cab to do it.
is this what your looking for? http://wwhardware.com/media/products/s/syk6100s.jpghttp://wwhardware.com/catalog.cfm/Gr...ews/showprod/1
get a tube of construction adhesive and just glue them back on. no clips necessary then.....
what size is that false front? what about turning it into one of those tip-out tray organizers?? its easy to do
mferguson may have the right idea for you. I found the trays and SCISSORS HINGES on e-bay. the trays come in several sizes and would increase your storage area.
YOu might be able to use magnetic catches to hold them in place; big box stores have them for sure.
This is what you're looking for -- I had the same problem finding them!!!
Hello Wiluven, Well, I know this is almost 2 years later after your original post looking for this seemingly impossible to find clips, but I figured you'd appreciate this late reply if you haven't yet found a solution. I too have the same type of "false front clips' and they are breaking left and right. Needless to say it is a real pain since I had been unable to find EXACT replacements. Fortunately after a couple of hours of googling research I am excited to say that I have found a dealer for the elusive part. The link below is to the web page where you can order these. The only downside, if you call it that is that you must order a minimum of 100 pairs of these. But its only $29 and as easily as these seem to break, I have a feeling I will need them in the coming years.
Anyhow here is the link, good luck. Would love for you to reply to let me know if this was helpful or if you already changed all of your clips to a different easier to replace type.
I know it's been a couple years- but did you ever find these??? I have the EXACT same issue w/ the EXACT same clips & can't find them anywhere. someone posted a site where you could buy a pack of 100 for $30- but seriously, I need TWO. Does anyone know of a place where I can get these????
Though I can't help you with a replacement clip, you could install a tip-out kit and attach the face with hinges for about $5. It's less than $30, anyway.

9th District candidate Boteach talks taxes, term limits in editorial board meeting
If Rabbi Shmuley Boteach unseats Congressman Bill Pascrell, he doesn't plan on becoming a career politician.
The Englewood Republican said he'd like to see term limits put in place and he has serious concerns about gerrymandering, the practice of stacking a legislative district to favor one party over another.
Boteach is challenging Pascrell, D-Paterson, in the heavily Democratic 9th District, which was reconfigured after New Jersey lost a Congressional seat following the 2010 census.
During a 90-minute meeting with The Record's editorial board Monday, Boteach blamed that loss on the state's high taxes, that he contends have forced people to leave New Jersey. He said he agrees with GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney's plan to eliminate tax loopholes for the wealthy, though he didn't offer specifics. He also said he supports extending the tax cuts enacted by President George W. Bush, which critics have argued add to the national deficit by not meeting growth projections.
Boteach said he wants to encourage private businesses to invest in the economy and create jobs, while cutting government spending.
He breaks from his party on immigration and social issues, saying he wants to find a way to offer citizenship to hard-working illegal immigrants so they start paying taxes and contributing to Social Security. He also criticized his own party for what he calls its "social/sexual obsession" and calls for a focus on family values.
"That the great party of Abraham Lincoln, the Republican party, has been reduced to abortion, gay marriage and contraception is unacceptable and it doesn't allow for the values rejuvenations, the values renaissance that this country so desperately needs," he said.
But the author and former host of TLC network's show "Shalom in the Home," where he counseled families, also described himself as someone who could bring unity to Washington D.C., even the fractured Republican party.
"I'm one of the only people who has phenomenal credibility among Evangelical Christians throughout the country and the Catholics for whom these values are so important," he said citing the television show.
Boteach also took shots at his opponent, saying Pascrell isn't campaigning.
"It's incumbent upon every single politician to earn these votes," he said.
He made a similar accusation during a debate Sunday in Tenafly, where Pascrell defended himself, saying he has only taken one day off over the last two months and has visited 27 Bergen County municipalities and two in Hudson County that were added to the district.
He used Pascrell's 15 years in Congress to call for term limits, saying the country's founding father's didn't want career politicians.
"They never envisioned that people would go forever and never want to leave and that from the day that you're elected as a Congressman, what do you do the first day you're elected? The old joke – you start on your re-election," he said.

The Luxury Visionaries 2016
If you want to bring home an unusual souvenir, consider taking a roast goose - the restaurant Yung Kee can pack and seal the goose so that it survives the plane ride
If you want to make a memorable proposal, take a private helicopter tour and pop the question between Victoria Harbour and Tsing Ma Bridge
Frenetic and dynamic Hong Kong is one of the world's most cosmopolitan cities, justly lauded for its exceptional dining scene and excellent shopping options. But beyond the glitz and innovation the city is known for, cultural curiosities and remnants of traditional Hong Kong abound. To help you make the most of this multifaceted destination, concierges from three of Hong Kong's best hotels give their guides to its best attractions and experiences.
Sharing their knowledge are:
Edward Ma, chief concierge of The Langham Hong Kong
Flo Chan, concierge at The Peninsula Hong Kong
Mike Yuen, concierge at The Landmark, Mandarin Oriental
I'm new here. Tell me something people don't know about Hong Kong.
Edward: Many visitors aren't aware that Hong Kong has some beautiful beaches such as Tai Long Wan which boasts crystal clear water. The reason it is still pristine is because it is difficult to access (it is only accessible by boat or hike) but going there is worth the effort. Another activity not normally associated to Hong Kong is hiking. A popular hike that is not too strenuous is the Dragon's Back trail.
Mike: Hong Kong has evolved rapidly to become an ultra-urban city and has lost its traditional communities to modernisation. Most visitors to Hong Kong do not know that in the old days there was a thriving community living on boats. The Aberdeen Fishing Village is testament to that and is fast disappearing.
Which attraction should I definitely make time to see?
Edward: Take the Ngong Ping 360 cable car for a scenic journey to visit one of Hong Kong's most popular attractions, Big Buddha. I also suggest visiting Tai O fishing village and take a boat trip along the canals of Tai O.
Flo: The town of Stanley is a must-visit attraction boasting a panoramic view of the South China Sea, featuring Victorian-era building Murray House, a local market with unique accessories and great food.
Mike: Victoria Peak, which is the highest point on Hong Kong Island and offers the greatest view of it. The best way to go up is taking the Peak Tram; as you pass the buildings, it may look like they are leaning!
Which of the "must-visit" attractions should I avoid?
Edward: Aberdeen fishing village & floating restaurant.
Flo: Disneyland may not be the most ideal place to visit if you are only staying for a few days. It is quite remote so visiting takes up a whole day even though the park itself is relatively small compared to other theme parks.
Mike: The Sky Terrace 428 viewing platform at Victoria Peak. You can appreciate the view just as much from outside of the attraction.
Which cultural attraction would you most recommend?
Edward: The Man Mo Temple and Chinese Opera in Sunbeam Theatre. The Fire Dragon Parade in Tai Hang is also worth seeing but it only takes place during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Flo: Wong Tai Sin temple is a fascinating place to visit. The Taoist temple has answered many locals' prayers and visitors can also get a taste of what Chinese fortune telling is like at the stalls there.
Mike: Blue House, which is a four-storey balcony-type tenement block located at Wan Chai. It is a Grade I historic building in Hong Kong, built in the 1920s, and used to be a residential building. Since 2010 it has become a Livelihood Museum, with exhibits that illustrate what life in the community was and is like.
Where can I take the best picture of Hong Kong?
Edward: Along the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade in front of the Cultural Centre or from the Sky100 viewing deck on the 100th floor of the ICC skyscraper. The views from Kowloon looking out to Hong Kong Island are more impressive than vice versa.
Flo: From Victoria Peak, which commands a breathtaking night view of Hong Kong.
Mike: Avenue of Stars at Victoria Harbour, where you can take a picture with an amazing view of the harbour. It's especially beautiful in the evening during the Symphony of Lights display.
I'd like to try something new here – what should I do?
Edward: Many people visit a feng-shui master who can advise you on how to deflect negative energy from your life.
Flo: The newly renovated Yau Ma Tei theatre promotes and preserves the development of Cantonese opera. Guests can enjoy shows on weekends from October to December.
Mike: Take a Lion Dance class. It is a form of traditional dance which is performed on many occasions from festivals to celebrating the opening of a new business.
What's the best way to experience horse racing in Hong Kong?
Edward: Happy Valley Racecourse is the place to be every Wednesday night for all the horse racing action. Tourists have access to the private members' stand by presenting their passport & paying an entrance fee of HK$123 (£10). Concierge can assist in booking the Come Horse racing Tour as well.
Flo: Join the Visitor Box at Happy Valley where guests can enjoy full view of the racecourse in a glass-panelled private box; a buffet dinner is included in the package.
I'd like to buy an unusual souvenir – what do you recommend?
Edward: A scaled model of an old Hong Kong Dai Pai Dong, an outdoor food stall, which is a staple part of Hong Kong life. It is available for sale in toy shops in Mong Kok.
Flo: As part of your hand luggage, take a roast goose back home. The restaurant Yung Kee can pack and seal the goose so that it survives the plane ride.
Mike: Dry seafood is one of the best options as it represents the fishing village that Hong Kong once was.
Which is the best tailor in Hong Kong?
Edward: Charms Tailor in Mody Road or Five Diamond Award and Ascot Chang in Central.
Regent, Ascot Chang, Jimmy Chen and Fit Well are all great Hong Kong tailors.
Flo: Regent, Ascot Chang, Jimmy Chen and Fit Well are all great Hong Kong tailors.
Mike: Try Lord's Tailor, which has been one of the best tailors in Hong Kong for the past 22 years.
What's the best restaurant in the city right now?
Edward: Chairman's offers authentic and unique Cantonese cuisine. All staff used to serve at the Tai Pan restaurant for a historic Hong Kong bank. (Tai Pan, in Cantonese, means the head or the top executives of a British firm.)
Flo: With 85 years of history, The Lobby at The Peninsula is the most historical restaurant in town; it is famed for its afternoon tea and the grand décor.
Mike: Try Otto e Mezzo, the only three-Michelin-starred Italian restaurant outside of Italy. It is often booked up, so I recommend making the reservation one month in advance.
Where can I get the best dim sum?
Edward: Apart from our Michelin-starred T'ang Court which is known for its excellent dim sum, Che's Cantonese Restaurant offers an excellent selection of authentic dim sum. It is regarded as a hidden gem of Hong Kong.
Flo: Spring Moon at The Peninsula Hong Kong. Guests can learn how to make dim sum with the hotel's dim sum chefs followed by a nice lunch at the restaurant.
Mike: Lung King Heen, which is the only three-Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant in Hong Kong. It undoubtedly serves the most delicious dim sum and has a spectacular harbour view.
Which is Hong Kong's best rooftop bar or bar with a view?
Edward: TAPA GRIA Tapas & Sangria Bar in Tsim Sha Tsui. You can enjoy Hong Kong's harbour view without any obstacles.
Flo: Perched on the 118th floor, Ozone enjoys the status of being the highest bar in Hong Kong.
Mike: Ozone located on the 118th floor of the ICC building.
And where's best for drinks generally? I don't want somewhere touristy.
Edward: If you want drinks with a great view, head to Sevva or Café Grey. If you want a great cocktail made the old fashion way, head to L'etage.
Flo: Quinary is a cocktail bar in Central that offers a variety of concoctions that is refreshing and adventurous.
Mike: Minden Avenue is the hottest place for Hong Kong people to grab a drink and meet friends after work.
I'm going to propose to my partner while I'm here – where should I do it?
Edward: You can book a private helicopter tour and propose during the flight across Victoria Harbour and Tsing Ma Bridge. It is stunning.
If the crowds get too much, where can I go to escape them?
Edward: Hong Kong is a bustling city and when locals want to get away many head to Geographic Park or Lamma Island.
Flo: Lamma Island is an outlying island which is only 35 minutes away from Central, it features a one-hour hiking trial with nice views and local villages as well as a selection of seafood restaurants.
Mike: On the street. Perhaps hire a tram with pictures of you and your partner on the side and wait for it to pass when you're walking along the road. It will be a big surprise!
Thanks for your help. Should I tip in Hong Kong?
Edward: It's not compulsory like in the US. However, as a gesture of goodwill it is customary to tip anywhere from HK$20 to HK$500 (£1.50-£40) depending on the occasion, venue and level of service received.
Flo: In most restaurants, 10 per cent service charge is already included in a bill, so tips are not mandatory. Tips are just a way to show gratitude for exemplary services.
Mike: Tipping is not compulsory in Hong Kong. However, you may tip for good service if you wish.

WOW!! The last week has gone by so quickly! So quickly in fact that this is the first chance I have had to get on the laptop and blog!
Not only did Chester have the week off, I also had a week off work. Even though I only work evenings it was nice not to have to worry about what time we needed to be home by, and even nicer to no have to go to bed at almost midnight!!
So, what did we get up to all week? Well we started our half term week on the Saturday as Daddy was off too.
First of all I took Chester on a little bike ride, whilst Millie slept....
Then we decided it would be nice to have a family meal out so we went to a restaurant in Maidstone called Buddha Belly. It was recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad that we took her advice and went! It is one of those all you can eat buffet restaurants, but there is a difference. The cuisine is Chinese, Indian, Italian and Mexican and on the Chinese, Indian and Italian sections you can watch them cook your requested food fresh. Chester was amazed to watch them make a Naan bread for him! They had the usual things you would expect at a buffet restaurant but the cook while you wait food made a real difference to the experience. I loved the stir fry because I chose my noodles and veg before handing my plate to the chef and asking him to cook it with chicken and sweet and sour sauce. There were so many combinations and I didnt have to worry that there would be something in there that I wouldn't like!
With our belly's full we decided a little window shopping was in order to walk off some of the calories we had just gained! We decided to get Chester's hair cut in the barbers, he was not a fan as normally his Auntie Sarah cuts it for him!
Sunday, I am going to leave for another post, because I would love your opinions on something!
Monday, we made use of Cineworld's half term movies for Juniors. It was £1 per person or 90p if you sign up and book online. We decided to take Nannie and Grandad Pete with us, so for 5 of us it cost £4.50! We decided to see Rise of the Guardians, Millie slept most of the way through it but the rest of us thoroughly enjoyed it! Movies for Juniors are usually on Saturday and/or Sunday mornings, we try to take Chester (and sometimes Millie) as often as we can as it is such good value. The films shown are normally ones that have been on the cinema less than 6 months ago.
Tuesday was a very long day for Chester and Millie, I am so proud of how good they both were! We met up with a friend and her two boys at Bluewater shopping centre, as Early Learning Centre had advertised on their facebook page that they would be having lots of drawing activities going on. Sadly the drawing activities were a bit of a let down, but the boys and Millie still managed to have a good time. We then had some lunch and I had intended to pop into a couple of shops before heading home. However, I stupidly thought it would be a good idea to sort out my mobile phone contract whilst there so we actually ended up being at the shopping centre for just over 8 hours!!
After the exhausting Tuesday, Wednesday was a lovely day of rest! We pretty much stayed in our PJ's for the day!
Thursday we headed over to my Parents house, I was going out for Dinner with some friends in the evening and Chester and Millie were very excited to be spending time with Nannie Lala and Grandgrad Guy. We stayed at my parents on Thursday night, because on Friday Mum and I went to The Sanctuary Spa in Covent Garden for a lovely relaxing afternoon! We did a bit of relaxing but I have to admit that we spent lots of time trying to get on that famous swing in the pool! It was a little dangerous (I am pretty sure there are some health and safety issues!) but it was so much fun! We finished off the day by heading round to China Town for a yummy Chinese meal.
On Saturday I had a bit of a sulk as I knew it was my last day off! So it was a bit of a rest day!
Sunday morning I helped Chester make some bouncy balls, will a pack I got from the early learning centre. Chester loved making these so I am currently on the hunt for the pva crystal refills! It was then off to work for me, but while I was out Craig, Chester and Millie were busy making homemade Pizzas! They were so yummy that I have asked Chester to make them again another day!
So that was our half term, there was so much more on my list of things to do but sadly the time just went too quickly! How was your half term? Hope you had lots of fun!

Sailrite SailPack
Has anyone installed the SailPack from SailRite?
If so any thoughts/opinions good or bad?
I need to replace my sail cover and I'm looking at this as an option.
I've seen them on other boats and as I often single hand my boat I wish I put such on instead of really nice new sail cover. Good post and I look forward to seeing what replies come.
I'll be making one soon. Here are some links to some who have made it; good info on the published article by Linda Moore:
ReadOz - Southwinds Magazine (click on "read" link)
Picasa Web Albums - Linda - Stack Pack "folder" and other projects
Newport 30 owner who recently made and installed one:
Picasa Web Albums - Carl - Sailrite Stac...
If you want the seams to be less visible on the pack; use the V-92 thread in the same color as the canvas. The sailrite "kit" only comes with white thread; so you might consider buying the kit and a spool or the correct color; or asking to swap spools and pay the difference in price.
I did not have sailrite, but a custom pak from St. Maarten. A couple of things I dislike were the fact the pak held moisture, and I believe it takes away some footage of the sail. I did not like letting it hang, and flop around to get back the footage of the sail. Convenience,,,,,,, what a huge plus.
I have just installed a new sailcover, and already I am thinking I should've went with the pak instead.......i2f
I have purchased a "Mack Pack" lazy jack/sailbag combination which is now being installed. There are a couple of boats in my marina with the system and I decided to go that route after speaking to happy owners.
It looks like the Mack Pack system can be completely moved out of the way if you wish, so other than a minor amount of hassle, you should be able to get full performance from your main. The effort required to lower the jacks and stow them should be minimal compared to wrestling a full batten main to flake and tie.
For short sails, you can leave the bag up and perhaps sacrifice a bit of performance, in order to have the convenience to drop the sail, tuck, zip and be on to the Pain Killers that much faster.
I'll be posting about my experince after I've had some time to evaluate the systems for a while.
PS edited to add the the Mack Pack is open at the bottom along the boom so water should drain and air can circulate so there should be no issue there.
I made a sailpack for our Gemini. While I didn't use the Sailrite kit, I used their instructions as the basis for ours. You can read about it at Sailpack Construction
Maybe mine was just bad construction? It was sewn down the middle on the bottom with a bolt rope running through the boom. There slits on the bottom to release water, but it wasn't effecient.
I kept the old pak. maybe when I get to California I can reinvent the sail cover I have now with the old pattern? The convenience of the pak is huge!......i2f
I made ours as two "slabs", each with their own bolt rope, slid into tracks riveted to the boom.
See pics at SailPack Construction Pictures
i just got a riding sail from sailrite.it seems to be of good quality

A minimum of equipment was employed in 19th century baseball, and changes in its regulation were infrequent. No batter wore a helmet during the 19th century. "Gloves" did not become common until the late 1880s and the baseball has retained the same dimensions, weight and leather pattern since 1872. Only one attempt to regulate uniforms was made by the National League of Professional Base Ball Clubs in 1882. This was due to the emergence of the American Association of Base Ball Clubs, which began play in 1882 and attempted to differentiate themselves from the six-year old National League.
19th century bats looked and felt different than today's bats. They were generally heavier and considerably thicker in the handle and had more of a gradual taper from the handle to the barrel. They were made with or without knobs on the handle and on various parts of the bat would be painted "rings" that would reflect the team color.
All these innovations were developed to
aid in hitting. More recently though, the bat was redesigned to aid the hitter.
During the dead-ball era, baseball
players used to grip the bat differently, holding it further up the grip. The
knob at the end was to keep players' hands from sliding off the bat. But in the
modern game, players hold the bat with their hands as low as possible - sometimes
even covering the knob. Graphic designer Grady Phelan created the Pro-XR bat
in response to the modern grip.
The major innovation on the Pro-XR bat is
the new ergonomic knob, slanted to ensures the batter's hand doesn't rub
against it. The design reduces injury, as well as the chances that a bat will
be thrown by preventing the hand's ulnar nerve from sending a "release" signal
to the brain. Limited testing suggests that the bat will reduce pressure on the
hand by 20 percent. It has been approved by the MLB and is currently used in
play. But despite the major benefits it offers, baseball players are a stubborn
and superstitious lot, and it's unlikely that the Pro-XR will become the
league's go-to bat - unless someone starts breaking new records with it.
By the
1860s, there were almost as many types of baseball bats as there were baseballs.
And like early pitchers, who made their own balls, early batters were known to
sometimes whittle bats to suit their own hitting style.
As you might imagine,
the results were quite diverse - there were flat bats, round bats, short bats and
fat bats. Generally, early bats tended to be much larger and much heavier than
The thinking was that the bigger the bat, the more mass behind the
swing, the bigger the hit. And without any formal rules in place to limit the
size and weight of the bat, it wasn't unusual to see bats that were up to 42
inches long (compared to today's professional standards of 32-34) with a weight
that topped out at around 50 ounces (compared to today's 30).

How many names do you recognize? It's interesting to see that triples in baseball have become a lost art. Are the stadiums smaller? Are the outfielders faster? Are their arms stronger? Or are coaches risk averse since a player can score from second on a single and the benefit of being 90 feet closer is simply to score on a sacrifice fly? We would love to hear your opinions on "where have all the triples gone?"
Active players with the most triples
The great thing about custom wood bats is the ability to choose a bat that fits your age, size, strength and game. Parameters such as knob style, handle thickness, barrel size and balance can all be dialed in to get the most comfortable bat in your hands. When you are comfortable with your equipment, you go to the plate each time with more confidence. Confidence translates to performance. We want you to have the confidence in your equipment to maximize your performance on the field.

Major cities like Seattle, Chicago, and Los Angeles have long rounded up their fastest and funniest in yearly extravaganzas of improvisational comedy, and this year, Portland joins their ranks: The first annual Portland Improv Comedy Festival will create a critical mass of funny from August 5 to 7 at the St. Lawrence Arts and Community Center, bringing together quick-draw comics from across the state and around New England.
A collaborative effort of the Greater Portland comedy community, the festival will feature the on-the-spot antics of nine improv teams over the course of the weekend. Some of these groups will be familiar to denizens of the Portland comedy circuit, including the Escapists, Portland Playback Theatre, the Portland Improv Experience, and Running With Scissors. Also participating are the Teacher's Lounge Mafia, from Jay; New Hampshire's Stranger Than Fiction; Unexpected Company, all the way from Rhode Island; and a new improv iteration of Westbrook's Acorn Productions billed as Acorn's Nut Factory. In addition to each group's slot in the festival line-up, teams also send representatives to a ninth, inter-team ensemble for a "Jam" session that will head up Friday night's show.
While the inaugural festival's participants are largely local, organizers look to the future for an even wider scope of laughs. Says Rachel Flehinger, an organizer of the event and member of Running With Scissors, "This year is just the beginning. In years to come this festival can bring national attention and tourism to our state." Maine's comics are well on their way to rewinding each other and hunting Whatsits with the big dogs.

The only structural engineer to assess the Canterbury Television (CTV) building after a major earthquake in September 2010 has agreed his finding could be read as "code'' for it being safe to occupy.
However David Coatsworth today told the Royal Commission into Building Failures in the Canterbury Earthquakes he could not recall being specifically asked if the CTV building was safe prior to it collapsing and killing 115 people in the 6.3 magnitude earthquake on February 22, 2011. Safe was a relative word, he said.
Mr Coatsworth, a senior structural engineer for CPG New Zealand, visually inspected the building on September 29, 2010 - less than a month after the magnitude 7.1 quake that struck Canterbury. It had already been "green-stickered'' by the Christchurch City Council.
His damage report in October 2010 stated the building "does exhibit considerable damage with regard to linings and finishings''.
"There is also some minor structural damage, but there are no obvious structural failures. In that respect we believe that the building has performed reasonably well.''
Mr Coatsworth told the inquiry today: "If I had seen anything to warrant it, I would have closed the building.''
He said even if asked, he could not give any assurance of the building being safe to occupy.
"I don't recall being asked if the building was safe at any time.''
But when questioned further by one of the lawyers at today's hearing, Mr Coatsworth agreed the comments in his damage report about the building performing reasonably well and having no obvious structural failure could be taken as "code'' for his view that the building was safe to occupy.
Asked again if he thought the building was safe at the time, he said: "I didn't say that, and the word safe is a relative word''.
"What I was saying is that capacity of the building hadn't been significantly reduced.''
Mr Coatsworth was unable to get structural drawings for the building from building manager John Drew or Christchurch City Council when carrying out his inspection.
He said his role was to look for damage in the building. However his report would not quantify the extent of the damage, such as length of cracks or plasterboard that needed replacing. He said he expected the damage he had reported would be quantified and then repairs costed and carried out.
Mr Coatsworth said he still relived his inspection "over and over'', and asked himself if there was anything he could have done differently.
The hearings on the CTV building are expected to last eight weeks.

You want duplex and front USB socket?
- then you need to fork out £50 more for the Officejet 6700
Was just looking at these and it seems you read my mind -
I like that the price per page is relatively good but for £100 I expect duplex and a front usb thrown in. Will wait for the price to drop or special offers to kick in.
Horrible, Horrible, Horrible! I have never wanted to throw away a machine after just buying it! Biggest waste of money I have every spent...I'm a teacher I don't have money to spend on things that don't work..GRRRRRRR
My HP wireless 6600 will not answer a fax automatically. I think I have tried every possible way it can be hooked up. My cable TV comes in on a second phone line that I receive faxes on but it will only receive if you stand by until it rings and push accept after three or four rings. Has anyone found a resolve for this problem?

text: I wanted to get some opinions about "what's the best gear ratio for towing?" Specifically, I have a 2001 Suburban 6.0 4x4 2500. It has the factory "heavy duty" towing package with 3.73 gears. This truck drives me to work about 3 miles each way. It also drives down the interstate during the summer months to my camp. I am usually towing equipment or my Travel trailer. We have a lot of mountain passes around. I'm not worried about fuel ecomony as it already gets maybe 13 mpg HWY and about 9-10 city, so thats out the window. I want a good highway towing gear that matches better to the 4l80 and the higher reving 6.0L in my truck. I can get ratios from 4.11, 4.56, 4.88 or 5.13 I was looking at the 4.56 maybe, but not sure if I'm going to kill the truck @ 70 mph. Would the 4.11 make a big difference? Or, should I look into 4.56 or even a 4.88? I don't like the 3.73 with the 4l80's 1st gear, it tachs out in 1st at about 45mph I want to get a better "get up and go" 1st gear for the truck and possibly utilize all 4 speeds on the highway when towing instead of shifting it back to 3rd for crusing. Over Drive with a small trailer on a slight grade is just no power with the stock gearing. What do you guys think?

Northstar Engines and System Technical Discussion Discussion, 1996 ESC 40K, Does Trans-fluid need changing? in Cadillac Engine Discussion; I have a 1996 ESC with 40K miles on it. When I brought the car 3-months ago it had 38k ...
1996 ESC 40K, Does Trans-fluid need changing?
I have a 1996 ESC with 40K miles on it. When I brought the car 3-months ago it had 38k on it. Somewhere on this forum I believe I saw posts that stated the trans fluid is suppose to last up to 100K. If this is true does my trans fluid need changing being 9 years old with a little over 3years worth of miles? I'm pretty sure the car has the original trans fluid, not to mention a oil express sticker on the window dated 10/31/04 that shows that after I drive the car another 200mls I will need to change the oil. I've been reading alot of the post on this forum and the cooling system is a very big topic in maintaining the N* engine not to mention this whole blown head gasket thing. The car run very well with no problems so might this be a case of if its not broke don't fix it or trans fluid this old should be changed a hell of alot sooner than 100K?
Re: 1996 ESC 40K, Does Trans-fluid need changing?
The trans fluid should be fine for 100K miles. I wouldn't worry about it unless you tow a lot or use the car in livery service in San Francisco.... If you have doubts then it is fairly easy to check the trans oil level using the fill cap/dipstick located on the top of the trans bellhousing area down under the throttle body/air cleaner inlet duct. Check the level with the engine idling in park , hot and on a level surface. Smell the oil and look at it. If it smells oily (not acrid and burnt) and looks nice and pink then it is fine. Most any normally driven 4T80E will easily go 100K miles on the OEM trans fluid.
Your engine was factory filled with DexCool coolant so it has very long life corrosion protection. Given the years and miles it is about due for a cooling sytem drain and refill with fresh DexCool/distilled water mixed 50/50 to restore the corrosion inhibitors in the cooling system. Just a drain and refresh is all that is required.
Use the onboard engine oil life monitor to tell you when to change the oil...not the quickie oil change sticker or recommendations. If the car is new to you, then get it changed ASAP so that you know what the maintenance interval was for sure, reset the oil life monitor in the driver information center and follow it for the recommended oil change.
Re: 1996 ESC 40K, Does Trans-fluid need changing?
Thanks Bbob for your quick reply. From all of the information I've read thus far you are indeed a very big plus to this forum, especially to guys like me who are DIYers and new to the N* engine. Thanks again.
Re: 1996 ESC 40K, Does Trans-fluid need changing?
Glad to help out where possible.

Losing interest very early in this season. No drama.
Apparently Kenny, Evan, and Johnny brushed their buttholes with it.
No just Kenny and Evan stuck a toothbrush in Tonya's vag
She had to be consenting right?

Brandon is one of the coolest guys to ever be on the challenges IMO, but you're right. He always gets fricked.
Big Easy and Camilla shouldn't last very long though. He is always good for fricking up a challenge and a DQ.
Nice! I thought they swabbed their asses with her toothbrush then put it back and she used it.
So whats the big deal about ramming it up her vag? She had to be consenting right?
Danny is pretty bad too.

Big E sucking at everything is so awesome and hilarious.
Alton: "They're throwing Brooklyn in because they don't want to upset the alliance." Well no shite. That's the move, dude. Take the pussy off the pedestal, homey. That's fricking ridiculous. And fricking Sarah? Jesus...
I liked the Arena challenge thing with the rope...that was cool.
Looking at the previews, we have yet another person acting like a 3 year old and "wanting to go home." As good as I think I'd do on these challenges, I'm not sure I could handle the crazy in that house day in and day out.

There has been no official announcement about this, but there have been a lot of rumors floating around that they are looking to get rid of LMA because it is to expensive to operate which really isn't surprising.
Kind of makes since unless they can make it more cost effective some how. I wonder if that goes for Disneyland Paris too?
I personally hope it is being replaced, I loved it the first time I saw it in DLP and liked it the second time I saw it in WDW. Then when I saw it again, for the third time, at DLP I was bored of it.
I still like it, but it may be kind o refurbished, i.e. other theme and/or jokes. The elements are still great. But still having exact same jokes ... even an attraction likes test track gets a make-over after some time ;-)
I view LMA as a big waste of space. I would like to see something (or things) in that space
I've also heard they may scrap part or all of the backlot tour as part of this expansion as well. It does seem kind of silly to have something called Pixar place only to have Toy Story represented in any real way. Everyone loves Pixar, very few enjoy LMA (they see it once and rarely return) so to me it only makes sense. Of course I also wouldn't mind seeing them do away with Indiana Jones to expand star wars into more than one ride as well to compete with Harry Potter land. Are you reading this Disney, I'm giving you gold here!!!
It's had it's time. I have seen it 3 times and that was enough for me. Waiting in that hot queue for an hour is not worth it.
I think cars land def needs to come to WDW, if getting rid of LMA is the way to do it, I'm in...
Oh my daughter will be so upset if t closes- she loves what she calls the "car show."
I dont think we have gone to see this show in maybe 2 years. Its a great show. I would rather have the old time tv houses back in that spot especially at xmas time when they were decorated.
I miss those houses. Does anyone have pics of them ?
Here's the thing. . .Disney is big on making announcements well in advance. If we haven't heard anything official yet, then I think it is unlikely that early 2013 is the planned date.
Do I foresee an expansion of Pixar Place at DHS? Yes, but I would imagine that they would make it public well prior to it actually happening.
Not necessarily....
lately they've been very slow at making announcements regarding show closings or other major changes. Take for example the Test Track Refurb, Big Thunder Refurb, and the rumored FoTLK closing/hiatus to make way for the Pandora construction.
The refurbs weren't officially announced until just before the attractions went down (although rumors were swirling for awhile of it's coming), and the FoTLK closing is swirling pretty hard in the Disney rumor mill for the beginning of the year, but nothing official yet from Disney.
Is that where they are going to put cars land??
Only rumors for now but yes, it would be where Cars Land could be for this is the only place where they have room to put it.
I hope so too, I've only seen it twice and both times I regretted it as soon as the show started and was pretty much bored through the whole show. Saying that, I'm a girly girl, I'd rather they replace it with a pretty little Tangled land. Maybe with "a nearby meadow or a hollow tree"? (Battering eyelashes and staring vacantly at nothing)
I miss them, too! The tour with the facades from movies was cool and the effect of the lights was so much better with houses than the streets of New York. Osborne lost its magic for me on the streets of New York. Bring back the houses!
This thread very quickly went from "zero" to "stop and breath"...
There are no confirmed anythings going to MGM...no cars, no massive lucasfilm development.
both things seem to be taken as a given around here by many...but they aren't even close and i'll give you reasons why:
1. the "feeder" theory. I'm fully onboard with this. I don't believe that the studios has ever been intended to be a "full day" park - and therefore these kinds of expansions don't make sense.
I'm not sure about animal kingdom...but studios and the waterparks definitely appear to be "feeders" as in they take in numbers early in the day and then quickly "feed" them to the larger, higher capacity, retail rich areas later in the day - MK, Epcot, and the downtown sticker-shocking district.
Maybe they didn't intend the studios to be that way at first...but they did throw it together in very quick fashion after the eisner takeover and once they stopped and looked at it - realized that they didn't want the kind of operation at another spot that they already had at EPCOT and MK - in terms of logistics and manpower.
With animal kingdom...i think they tried again...but got skiddish when they realized that they get killed on costs (because its them...the pentagon has similar problems) and slashed the budget and construction to stop the bleeding. The lukewarm reception that the park has always had pretty much sealed its fate to this point...and might have drug studios (maybe even pleasure island) down with it.
2. Don't think they want to spend more money.
Universal! Seaworld! harry potter! legoland! the sky is falling! disney must respond!
No...not really at all. their expansions are for their purposes alone and for new revenues...not to keep up with the Dr. Joneses.
Is and was how it will be.
The only side of the argument that i see is that they may accelerate a little or "float" concepts to see what kind of reception they get (cough...AVATAR...cough).
But look at what they did...spent about 400+ mil on fantasyland? an area that is packed in the most popular park on earth?
Why would they do that? In short: to fit more people and sell more crap.
It certainly doesn't fit the description of a "countermove" to anything the neighbors are doing. it was taking something that worked for 40 years and just blowing it up bigger.
Wouldn't a company that was "concerned" with losing business bump it somewhere else? like perhaps somewhere that was lagging?
That would be Animal Kingdom...followed by diminishing numbers at EPCOT (still can't quite get that...except that people are dumber by the day and "ain't into that learnin' crap")...and the little park that could: studios - where almost half the footprint is still dedicated to a failed east coast production concept that was shuttered and mothballed over ten years ago.
But they didn't...they built at magic kingdom...for many reasons...but not because they were worried about footsteps behind them.
So they just spent (still spending...as construction debt is financed) on that little development...and they have floated a $500 million dollar concept for AK (which i think will end up sleeping with the fishes...but thats for another day).
a billion dollars in a five year period- more or less. At a place that is where they make money for all the salaries at ESPN and the View - not spend it. (Annual reports and any business market analysis - wdw is purely about generating operating income that leads to profit for the whole she-bang...it is very much different than the other parks around the globe - especially Euro)
So here's where we need to "stop and breath"
There is no reason to put a 700 million dollar expansion (that draws people to california...which is what they value more longterm) to replace a stunt show in a park that just chugs along and doesn't need to be expanded.
Studios will not be a flagship park...if that were the plan...it might've come out in the last 24 years or so.
If the stunt show is too expense...they just bag it and leave the theater empty...something they have long done at studios and have had NO problem doing at WDW since 2000.

text: Hello, Zigger: I pay people like you to do all my installs. I am not a backyarder. Anyone as arrogant as you goes to the bottom of the employment list as far as I am concerned. You don't even know the meaning of the word "tactful". I can only imagine what you tell your potential customers who end up hiring someone else. Sheesh. We have good installers up here that do what you do, but without the arrogant attitude. Apparently you think you are the center of the universe. Obviously you live in a different solar system. Speakers first. Period. Head unit can come second. There are actually some OEM units that put out half way decent sound for many consumers. You buy that head unit and you have OEM speakers, it still sounds bad. Sorry if you disagree, but without big paying customers like me, you would be washing dishes for a living. If the consumer is on a budget, this is their first best purchase in an upgrade. He isn't going to a national SPL competition, he wants to drive it to work. I don't do competition installs. That is for the cars dedicated to sound competitions. As in the whole vehicle is full of speakers and amplifiers. If that is what you do, fabulous. But let's be real and practical here, not esoteric.

Bring on the revolution

Barrie Kosky at rehearsal, helping his audience "dream while awake".
Photo: Supplied
Susan Shineberg talks to a feisty Barrie Kosky in Vienna before his return to Melbourne for his new production at The Malthouse.
Melbourne-Born director Barrie Kosky may have been living in Vienna for the past four years but he is still outspoken when it comes to the Antipodean arts scene.
"We need a cultural revolution in Australia," he says. "We're much too smug and too comfortable. It's getting to the stage where we're no longer a Club Med-culture; we're just one big Hamilton Island now, a slightly B-grade resort."
Kosky is intent on stirring the pot now he's back in Melbourne for one of his Viennese productions at the Malthouse Theatre.
Boulevard Delirium, starring chameleon performer Paul Capsis, opens on Wednesday for four weeks. Apart from a handful of shows of The Lost Breath at the 2003 Melbourne Festival, it will be the first time Kosky, who arrived on Tuesday, has worked in Australia since becoming co-director of the Vienna Schauspielhaus.
Although Kosky has now decided to leave Viennain October he still looks very much at home at one of the theatre's small cafe tables on the Porzellangasse, sporting some jauntily coloured nail varnish.
"It's my latest hand-fetish," grins the reformed smoker, with a wave of red-tipped nails. "If I can't have a cigarette in my hand I have to have something to distract me, and this is Chanel's rouge noir." Very distracting.
It's a superb spring afternoon in Vienna and the workaholic Kosky is taking a break from music rehearsals for his Tales of Hoffmann at the Schauspielhaus, which will be his last show there. He is also performing in the current season of his music-theatre production of Poppea.
In between taking pot shots at the state of Australian arts, he elaborates on the forthcoming performance of Boulevard Delirium in Melbourne. "It's going to be exactly the same show as in Vienna," Kosky says. "But of course whenever you tour a production you have to make changes. Plus there'll be three new Australian musicians in the band."
The one-man show that premiered in Kosky's first season at the Schauspielhaus proved such a hit with the Viennese that it returned for two more sell-out seasons. Capsis' performance is an astonishing tour-de-force that eerily conjures up some of last century's great divas and chanteuses, including Marlene Dietrich, Janis Joplin and Billie Holiday.
"There are many people who can sing like someone else, but the transformation that occurs with Paul is extraordinary - and a bit spooky", says Kosky. "It's much more connected with shamanism, and Paul the singer is always present too, which is what makes it really striking.
"But what the Viennese really respected and appreciated was Paul's unique musicianship. He's not a trained musician and doesn't work from scores; he has a completely organic, innate musical sense that's very special."
As the good burghers of Vienna stroll past in the sunshine Kosky happily tosses one incendiary bomb after another into the conversation.
"There are three really big differences between theatre in Europe and Australia and they are things we can't do anything about. It means there's a different perspective on things.
"We don't have the population. You just don't have the same amount of people to generate the work and the variety. And in Europe you are next door to lots of other countries, so you get a constant criss-crossing of French, German, Russian and Polish, a complete patchwork of experience running throughout the cultures.
"So Australia has a different tradition, a different population and a different culture. And that's fine, because we shouldn't be copying, we've created our own."
Kosky won't be staying long in Australia, as he is booked solid for the next three years in Europe. After he leaves the Schauspielhaus in October he will freelance, mainly as an opera director. He has racked up resounding successes from Berlin to the Innsbruck Festival, and now appears to have opera houses queuing up for his services.
His next project is Wagner's Lohengrin at the Vienna State Opera in December.
But 20,000 kilometres from home, Kosky continues to be one of the most refreshingly outspoken commentators on the arts scene in Australia. He now thinks that the "furious underfunding of the arts", as he calls it, is not the issue any more. "There's never been enough money for the arts. And that's simply not good enough."
The result, he says, is mediocrity and compromise, two words that are "the enemies of art".
Australian audiences, he believes, are now in the dangerous position of taking artists for granted.
"Artists are precious," he says. "I don't think Australians respect that. Most of us have never been in a situation where a theatre has been shut down for political reasons or been in a society or a culture where books have been burned, or thrown into prison for writing a play.
"No one wants to go through those experiences. That's one of the great things about Australia, that a lot of people have found refuge there. But I think it makes a huge difference to our take on artists.
"Unless you are a sports star or a pop star or an Australian actor or director who makes a successful film in Hollywood, that's sort of it."
Why are the arts so important? "What's extraordinary to me about anything artistic is that there's a unique and intimate relationship between the listener, watcher, reader and the artist," says Kosky, clearly choosing his words with care.
"Even though this can take place in a communal venue, like a theatre, it's still a very private relationship between me and the play I'm watching or the music I'm listening to. And the person sitting next to me will be having a completely different experience."
Art, he says, enables us to dream while we are awake. "We experience the same deep primal desires, longings and madness as we do when we're asleep, but while we're awake. That to me is the definition of art. And in fact, without art we are nothing. It's as big as that. Without art and without artistic expression, we are dead."
So how does Kosky explain the inordinately large number of talented people emerging in the Australian arts scene who, even now, manage to find a voice?
"It's just very weird," he says. "Everyone here asks me that, because there are just so many Australian musicians and dancers over here.
"Although I get to work with fantastic singers and conductors and so on, I began to appreciate what we produce out of a country of only 20 million people. We produce fantastic people. I think it's something to do with the whole melting-pot thing, and to do with being an island.
"We have been isolated to a certain extent, so you create your own stuff and own way of doing things. All those cliches are very true.
"There's a huge voracious audience in Australia. I don't think any blame for the current malaise can be laid at the door of either artists or audiences, because I saw it when I did the Adelaide Festival. I see it at a lot of the festivals there, and I see it at the Malthouse now.
"There's this great hunger. The Melbourne Malthouse has been packed, the opening season there is completely sold out and there's a huge new audience coming in. It's a primal hunger for exactly what I'm talking about. They want to be able to dream while awake."
Some sort of cultural revolution is needed in Australia to break the impasse, Kosky reiterates.
He believes people in Australia stay in arts jobs for too long. There should be a time limit, he says, because there's no new blood. In other words, there needs to be greater flexibility.
Apart from the straitjacket imposed by the theatres' reliance on box office and the desperate desire not to alienate the more conservative subscription audiences, Kosky points to a larger, underlying problem.
"You have to look at the bigger picture, and I think it's to do with education," he says. "It's not just a question of throwing money at something. You've also got to realise that Australians are disadvantaged in lots of ways.
"Every Australian child should be able to experience theatre, music and dance regularly through their school years, for free; from when they are five years old until the day they leave school. You need to nourish the young audiences, a process that links the arts into an environment that's as important as computer studies, physics and maths.
"Kids should come out of school speaking two foreign languages, a European language and an Asian language - to break that isolation through language."
Kosky allows himself a wry grin. "Of course what I'm talking about is a particular sort of vision. But you've got to have vision. We are starving through intellectual laziness. We need to realise that ideas lead nations and give countries impetus."

A college in North Central Pennsylvania is providing students with new photo identification cards to enable them to vote in the November election, according to a published report.
Vice president of student affairs Linda Koch with Loch Haven University said the new IDs will have expiration dates on them, The Express reports.
New students at the school were given the new cards and returning students have the opportunity to request the new student identification cards that have expiration dates so they may vote in elections, Koch told the school's Council of Trustees meeting late last month.
"We will announce the availability of the new ID during voter registration drives on the campus," states an email penned by the vice president to The Express.
But the students need to prove that they are eligible to vote in order to receive the new ID card.
Koch noted that the dates for the voter registration drive have not yet been set.
"Students requesting a new ID for voting purposes will also need to provide proof of their voter registration," the vice president's email states.
To comply with Pennsylvania's voter ID law, specific identification cards are needed to cast ballots. Proponents say it is a strong way of cutting down on voter fraud.
Students who request new cards will have them returned within minutes of when the picture is taken, Koch said.
As of the article's publication, not one student had requested a new ID card, according to Koch.
She said the school designed the cards with a specific goal in mind.
"The telecommunications office provided the new design of the card and the needed information that was required to have an expiration date imprinted on the card for each student," Koch wrote.
The Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania has begun reviewing the current process of issuing photo identification cards, according to CBS.

Examined the prevalence of anxiety, mood, and substance use disorders in the parents of anxiety disordered (AD) children relative to children with no psychological disorder (NPD). The specificity of relationships between child and parent anxiety disorders was also investigated. Results revealed higher prevalence rates of anxiety disorders in parents of AD children relative to NPD children. Specific child–mother relationships were found between child separation anxiety and panic disorder and maternal panic disorder, as were child and maternal social phobia, obsessive compulsive disorder, and specific phobias. Findings are discussed with reference to theory, clinical implications, and future research needs.

"How was your day at school?" is a well meaning question asked by many parents that is virtually guaranteed to get an answer of "okay" or some other minimal response. Further inquiries are more likely to be viewed as offensive interrogation rather than an honest attempt at communication.
What's a parent to do? I've often suggested that parents talk with their kids about contemporary events as a way to provoke real discussion around the dinner table. The story of Christian Lopez is a great story to relate to your children.
Lopez is graduate of St. Lawrence University who works as a salesman for Verizon. As a passionate New York Yankees baseball fan, he was thrilled when his girlfriend Tara Johnson gave him tickets to watch the Yankees play the Tampa Bay Rays. In the third inning of the game, Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter hit a home run that ended up in front of Lopez, who immediately grabbed the ball.
This wasn't any baseball, but rather was the 3,000 hit of Yankees superstar Derek Jeter. Lopez was immediately escorted from the area by eight security guards who reported to their supervisors that "we have the package." Taken into a private room, Lopez was asked by the head of security, "So what do you want?"
Lopez subsequently acknowledged that he is in debt for "a couple of hundred thousand dollars" in student loans. He wasn't holding an ordinary baseball, but a historic memorabilia that was valued at $500,000 to one million dollars. Lopez turned to his dad for advice, but his father said little. "You're a grown man. You make your own decisions," answered his dad. Lopez responded immediately that he wanted the ball to go to his idol, Derek Jeter. "Yeah, money is cool and all, but I'm only 23 years old. I have a lot of time to make that. His accomplishment is a milestone." While the Yankees gave Lopez some balls, bats, autographed jerseys, and four suite tickets for Yankees home games, the financial value didn't come close to approximating what Lopez could have gotten if he sold the ball.
What was Lopez thinking? As a Latino, Jeter had a special meaning for Lopez and his family. "…he's done a lot for our generation" declared Lopez. "I grew up watching the guy… As a minority he's had struggles to go through and he's overcome a lot. I look up to the man. He's an icon for our generation." For Lopez, giving that ball back to Jeter was worth more than whatever financial compensation he could have received.
Did Lopez do the right thing? What should Jeter or the Yankees do for Lopez? What would you have done? What would Lopez have done if this milestone was accomplished by a non-Latino? Six months from now, will Lopez feel more like a chump or a champion? These are the types of questions that really make for an interesting dinner conversation with your kids.
