Here are some more information for Off Plate:

Whenever you are ahead in the count, you should "expand the strike zone." No, let's rephrase that. You must expand the strike zone! That simply means throwing a pitch off the plate, that's actually a ball. Or throwing a pitch too high or too low that is out of the strike zone. Let's be clear on one thing. I think it is a total waste if you throw the pitch too far off the plate. If ahead of the batter and the count is 0-2, it makes no sense to throw a pitch over the batter's head or two feet off the plate. The objective is to get the batter to swing at a pitch that's not a strike. If you throw the ball way off the plate or over the batter's head the batter will not swing. The only thing that does is that it adds to your pitch count. That makes no sense.

It is estimated that at least 70% of swinging strike threes are on pitches that are NOT strikes. Please read the previous sentence again!

You don't have to take my word for it. You can see it for yourself. Occasionally, when a pitcher strikes out a lot of hitters in a baseball game, the following morning on television, they sometimes show the replays of all the strikeouts. Keep a tally for yourself. (Trust me on this one, you can do it.) I have done it several times.

If the hitter took strike three, you DON'T tally it. You are ONLY checking the SWINGING strike threes. Simply count the pitches swung at that were strikes and pitches swung at that were balls. Your tally will go like this: 1 out of 1, 1 out of 2, 2 out of 3, 2 out of 4, 3 out of 5, etc.

I really suggest you try this. You will get very good at it and in no time at all and may find it very interesting as well as surprising. The batters swing at more strike threes that are balls than are strikes! That is a very powerful statement. It is because the batter can no longer be fussy about what he swings at and must protect against being called out on strikes.

There is an expression that has been around for decades and still holds true and will NEVER become obsolete. "You get ahead of them with strikes but you get them out with balls." I know it's been around for decades because my father taught it to me about 50 years ago, when I was 9 years old. Boy am I old!

Make very good use of expanding the strike zone because very often, if ahead in the count, you will get batters out with balls.

One of the better baseball pitching tips you should always remember is that there is simply no reason on earth to give a hitter a strike to hit if he's going to swing at a ball! Baseball pitching is plenty tough enough.

License Plate Spray: Method Or Madness?

Photo enforcement has one message for reckless drivers: you can run, but you can't hide. No matter how quickly you race past a sensor, your license plate will be photographed and you'd eventually be on the receiving end of a $100 fine.

Enterprising drivers, however, have latched onto a clever solution. Their retort to the challenge photo enforcement has issued? Catch me if you can.

Drivers have taken to using a variety of means to elude photo enforcers. One of these is the license plate spray.

License Plate Spray: Ancestor
Before license plate sprays, there were license plate covers. License plate covers deflect light from cameras, making plates unreadable. Manufacturers claim this light deflection mechanism makes it impossible to make out license plates from the side and the top. Because license plate covers come cheaply, many bought them. It was not long before authorities caught on. Some states quickly banned the use of license plate covers.

License Plate Spray: How Does It Work?
License plate spray came after the license plate cover. Like its ancestor, it also relies on the reflective property of a license plate's lettering. Photo radars utilize a strong flash to photograph cars' license plates as these vehicles speed by. License plate sprays flash this light back to the camera. The result is a picture made unreadable by over-exposure.

Advantages of Using License Plate Spray
To supporters, the license plate spray is one of the hottest inventions since sliced bread. They encourage its wide use for the following reasons:

● It's cheap.
A can costs somewhere between $19 to $25.

● It's easy to apply.
All you have to do is spray license plate spray on your license plate. Then, you wait for it to dry.

● It's effective.
It reflects photo radar flash, thereby saving you from a costly and undeserved ticket.

● It can be used many times.
One can may be used to spray as many as four license plates.

● One application is good for life.
Once you apply license plate spray on your license plate, there's no need to reapply it. It will not wash off or fade.

Disadvantages of License Plate Spray

● Its effectiveness is still under debate.
Some claim it works; others say it doesn't. It's unclear which side is telling the truth. What is clear as daylight, however, is the fact that license plate sprays are selling faster than law enforcers could blink.

● It may be responsible for negative behavior modification.
Some believe license plate sprays will cause drivers to be cocky. Because they no longer fear legal consequences of their actions, they would exceed the speed limit and run over red lights whenever they feel like doing so.

● It's illegal.
Most states do not expressly prohibit the use of license plate spray. What they prohibit is obstructing license plates from human view. Manufacturers of license plate sprays argue that spraying license plates with a high-gloss finish is not illegal because the writing on the plates would still be visible to the human eye. It is only a photo radar camera that cannot see them.

To spray or not to spray? That is the question. No matter how we answer it, though, one thing is clear. The human race has made so many technological advancements anything is possible - even foiling wireless eyes.

How do I get the front license plate cover off?

I have 2002 trans am and need to get the front license plate cover off (the cover with the firebird logo) since VA requires a front license plate to be displayed.

You'll need a small TORX head screwdriver(a T15 or T10). At the bottom of the cover there are two screws. Unscrew them and lift the bottom up, pull out and down. Then you can put your license plate on and get you a clear cover like the following to place over it:
