Review of the Porter Cable Air Compressor
Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment
There are several styles of Porter Cable Air Compressors that can be bought nowadays. The Porter Cable Air Compressor brand of merchandise is made by Porter-Cable - a business that has been around from 1906. The Porter Cable Air Compressors are partners with the Porta-Cable brand of portable woodworking power tools. Porta-Cable manufactures its merchandise in Jackson, Tennessee, near sister company Delta. Porter-Cable and Delta became sister companies in the year 1960, but they give different items.
One such example is the 25 Gallon Vertical Air Compressor Portable 60 Gallon Tank 175 PSI. This item has a 175 PSI and a tank that holds the equivalent of 60 gallons. Its high capacity air regulator has a beginning PSI of 145, which culminates at 175 PSI. This product has the top level of moderate-to-heavy use and intermittent tool operation among its competition. It includes an oil-free design that is at once durable and easily maintained . It has a direct-drive twin cylinder. Its 120 volt induction and robust torque motor has trusty starting function, too.
Another of the Porter Cable Air Compressor models you might want to look at is the 20 Gallon Air Compressor 5.1 CFM @ 90 PSI model. This Porter Cable Air Compressor is built with a 175 PSI - 49 gallon equivalent tank size. Its high-flow air regulator begins at 145 PSI and reaches its capacity at 175 PSI. This Porter Cable Air Compressor is built to match the strictest regulations of moderate-to-heavy duty and intermittent tool operation in its class. Trustworthy starting can be attained by its 120 volt induction and high torque motor. Its ‘4 Pole’ 1725 RPM motor gives the tool a longer operational lifespan and lowers the level of noise emission. You gain remote air regulation and control in the surrounding work location of the job site because of the remote ‘quadraport’ center. This item also has a high-flow regulator and 4 quick connect units.
The last Porter Cable Air Compressor model to consider is called the Oil Free Induction Side Stack Compressor. This appliance has 6.0 SCFM that allows its 4.3 gallon tank to recharge more swiftly. More extensive window of tool usability is achievable because of the 150 PSI Max. 120 PSI cut-in pressure offers 30 PSI ‘Bonus Air’ before rendering a 90 PSI tool totally defunct. Its 1.6 running HP induction motor was designed for long-lasting use. It also includes push to connect couplers, a High-FloSM air regulator, and an oil-free pump that won’t cause oil spillage; the pump will run with absolutely no maintenance.

Twelve NFL Cheerleaders Featured in SI’s Swimsuit Issue
Filed Under NFL Cheerleaders Articles | Leave a Comment
As Sports Illustrated’s 44th annual swimsuit edition hits the newsstands, so do twelve representatives of cheer squads from across the NFL. Eleven teams are represented in all, as the Houston Texans actually had a pair of twins on display - twins as in siblings - in Marissa and Larissa Coy of nearby Baytown, TX.
Even more interesting is how the debate about the swimsuit issue has evolved over the years. When it first launched in 1964, the question was one of taste, and whether or not a sports magazine so prominently featuring scantly-clad models was really acting in the interests of their readers (which it was) and the type of legitimate sports journalism Sports Illustrated prided itself on (which it wasn’t).
The great irony was that with the rise of feminism in America, the girls of the swimsuit issue were at once pariahs and heroes. They were derided by some for posing, accused of self-exploitation and setting back the cause of womandom several decades at a time, yet they were revered by others as bold and brave women, not afraid of their bodies and not afraid to celebrate beauty. That legions of men agreed with the latter didn’t hurt, either: the swimsuit issue was, for decades, SI’s biggest-selling issue of the year.
Of course, as time went on and the swimsuit issue just became part of the cultural background noise, the tremendous rise of internet publishing and various men’s magazine devoted to page after page of beautiful women in various states of dress, it became harder and harder to see what the fuss ever was in the first place. The SI ladies’ swimsuits may get slightly racier with each passing year, but it all looks tame considering what’s on the cover of even more hardcore publications like Maxim, FHM, Stuff, and the like (and that’s only counting the, shall we say, “mainstream” men’s magazines).
So with that, the new edition is out. Love it or hate it, the girls look great. Congratulations to each of them.

NFL Cheerleaders and the Younger Audience
Filed Under NFL Cheerleaders Articles | 1 Comment
A mother had an interesting story to share which involves a Sea Gals poster. Now as grown adults, we’ve come to appreciate their hard work and effort in dancing for the crowds. However, what happens when your young son or daughter brings home from grade school a poster of the Sea Gals in full uniform? Should a teacher disallow these giveaways by the squad after showing up for a “spirit” assembly? Now I have nothing against NFL cheerleaders. They’re not bad people and they have nothing but the best intentions of providing good sports entertainment. However, some may think differently about whether or not their exposure in revealing uniforms is “healthy” for the younger audience. What are your thoughts? Leave a comment and share your opinion!

Professional Cheerleaders Alumni Hold Audition Prep Classes
Filed Under NFL Cheerleaders Articles | Leave a Comment
(Jacksonville, FL) The Professional Cheerleaders Alumni, comprised of former Jacksonville Jaguars Cheerleaders, have put together an Audition Prep Class to prepare ladies (17 & over) interested in auditioning for professional cheerleading or dance teams. Many pro teams in Jacksonville begin holding auditions as early as March for the 2008 season, and these ladies are offering their experience and advice to help make the cut however, these classes do not guarantee placement on a team.
Training classes are held twice a week from January through March at Bailey’s Powerhouse Gym on San Jose in Jacksonville. Bailey’s has partnered with Professional Cheerleaders Alumni (PCA) as their official gym, offering discounted membership to their PCA members and the use of their state-of-the-art facilities for classes such as these.
The Audition Prep Classes will include techniques needed for auditions such as turns, kicks, and basic dance steps. “What’s unique about our class is that it offers an inside edge that only alumni of professional teams can give. We have an exciting program lined up, including a photography session to give ladies tips at looking their best on camera (angles, etc.). A trainer from Bailey’s explained the importance of exercise and nutrition. We also have a makeup artist coming in to show the ladies how to apply colors and what compliments their skin tones best.”, says Darlene Clancy, PCA Board member and prep class instructor.
Donna Windsor, the President of PCA is also teaching classes. Donna says, “We are able to sit down with the girls and give them one-on-one advice about auditions, what to expect, the layout of auditions for most professional teams, and how to make a positive first impression. That makes them feel more comfortable about the audition process and less nervous so they can focus on the combinations they have to learn.”

Colts Nfl Cheerleader Outfit; A Sexy Sideline Distraction
Filed Under NFL Cheerleaders Articles, NFL Cheerleaders Articles | Leave a Comment
Like all NFL cheerleaders, the cheerleaders for the Indiana Colts wear special uniforms designed especially for their team. The Colts NFL cheerleader outfit not only give them the freedom to dance and move as cheerleaders should be able to do, but they are also ’sexy’ and ‘eye catching’.
Some teams, in addition to using their cheering skills and cute outfits to warm up the crowd and cheer on their players, have been accused of using their cheerleaders to distract the opposing team. For example, the cheerleaders for the Tennessee Titans have been banned by the NFL from warming up or stretching outside of the opposing team’s locker rooms.
While there have been no specific reports of this type of behavior by the Colts cheerleaders, the Colts NFL cheerleader outfit definitely makes that a possibility. Its lack of coverage, tassels, fringes, and sparkling additions, can make the cheerleaders quite a distraction to anyone. This is especially true once you add in the sparkling personalities of the cheerleaders. Their bright smiles alone can be a distraction to all but the most devout football fan.
While the cheerleaders for the Colts wear many different outfits throughout the football season and the off season, the official game day Colts NFL cheerleader outfit consists of a blue sports bra type top combined with a short, white, fringed skirt. These are topped off with a matching white fringed vest and a silver rhinestone belt with the Colt’s horseshoe symbol on it.
Off season outfits worn for photo shoots and special appearances include swimsuits in Indianapolis Colts colors and short shorts with matching tops. All of these are decorated in some fashion with rhinestone horseshoes. While the cheerleaders may wear all different types of shoes throughout the course of their work, knee high boots have become some of the most popular to see on an NFL cheerleader.
While most professional football players will tell you that they don’t notice the cheerleaders or what they are wearing no matter what team the cheerleaders are from, the male football fans can almost always tell you who a cheerleader is cheering for based on their clothing.

Super Bowl XLII Cheerleaders
Filed Under NFL Cheerleaders Articles | 1 Comment
The only Super Bowl XLII that you’ll be seeing is the New England Patriots Cheerleaders in Super Bowl XLII. These Superbowl cheerleaders are going to be the center of attention for those looking for the beautiful dancing ladies of the sidelines. The Patriots cheerleaders must be excited to be playing in such an energy-packed atmosphere which will have tons of fans yelling and screaming for their favorite team throughout the stadium. These cheerleaders have put a lot of hard work throughout the season.
It’s too bad that the New York Giants don’t have cheerleaders and it’s amazing that they’ve gone so far without an official NFL cheerleading squad. I consider cheerleaders to be essential to a team’s spirit and morale beacuse they energize the team’s fans. At least the Green Bay Packers have unofficial cheerleaders that come from colleges to cheer for them. Amazing the Green Bay Packers Cheerleaders are for their ability to endure such harsh weathers to cheer in.
By the way, if you never knew.. you can actually obtain autographed photos of the cheerleaders themselves! The New Englands Patriots Cheerleaders photos include those of Dinna Yap, Lindsey Barrows, Alicia Bardaro, Jessica Wanzie, Angela Lavoie, and much much more! Heck I went ahead and got one just because it’s so cool to get a personalized message along with your autographed photo from such beautiful and talented ladies. Who knows, if they win, you can always tell your friends and be proud of the Patriots cheerleaders for giving their team the support they needed.
Click here to get an autographed photo!
Even if the New England Patriots lose, at least the Patriots have left the stadium with something that the New York Giants don’t have and that is the vibrant, energetic New England Patriots cheerleaders. But I’m pretty positive that the Patriots will win, given such support from their talented Patriots Cheerleaders

Against All Odds (Take a Look at Her Now)
Filed Under NFL Cheerleader Profile | Leave a Comment
The Gloucester Daily Times - published out of Gloucester, MA, population 30,000 and allegedly the nation’s oldest seaport - ran this story about Julie Warner. Warner is a local girl made good who will be representing her hometown at Super Bowl XLII as a cheerleader for the New England Patriots.
Now, not much mention is made of Ms. Warner’s football allegiances in her early days (she does admit to being a pretty big fan of her current employer nowadays, though), and stories about “local person connected to major event” are a dime a dozen. But statistically speaking, the odds of Warner not only being a cheerleader, but also a cheerleader for the geographically nearest professional football team, and backing that squad all the way to a Super Bowl, are really quite astounding.
Odds of being a cheerleader in America: 1,500,000 / 301,000,000
Odds of being an NFL cheerleader: 440 / 301,000,000
Odds, among NFL cheerleaders, of being a New England Patriots cheerleader: 24 / 440
Odds, by most Vegas sports books, of Patriots making Super Bowl XLII: .43 / 1
Odds of being from Gloucester, MA: 30,000 / 301,000,000
Not a sure thing among the lot of them, and the final tally is staggering: the odds of Julie Warner, the pride of the nation’s oldest seaport, ever cheering the New England Patriots in a Super Bowl work out to 1 in 1,702,910,000,000,000 - and that’s just among Americans. If the denominators are changed to reflect worldwide populations, her chances were suddenly reduced to 1 in 1,353,940,000,000,000,000.
By way of comparison, the average person’s odds of a being part of a few other long-shot events are as follows:
Odds of catching a foul ball at a baseball game: 1 in 1,189
Odds of bowling a perfect game: 1 in 11,500
Odds of being struck by lightning: 1 in 576,000
Odds of being attacked by a shark in the United States: 1 in 8,000,000
Odds of a meteor landing on your house: 1 in 182,138,880,000,000
To put it another way: the average American would have to lose ten houses to meteor showers before realizing their dream of being a Patriots cheerleader at the Super Bowl.
Here’s to you, Julie Warner, New England Patriots Cheerleader and truly one in a quintillion. And, it should be noted, awfully cute.
And, in an even greater twist of overcoming an assumed statistical impossibility, single. What do you suppose the odds are she dates bloggers?

A Toddler’s Experience with the 49ers Gold Rush Cheerleaders
Filed Under Guest Posts | Leave a Comment
This article is dedicated to the San Francisco 49ers Gold Rush Cheerleaders.
A guest post by Ian Crimmins
It was October 18th 1992 and I was all of two years old. My parents were huge
A photo of the 49ers Gold Rush Cheerleaders
Now, I don’t remember much of the game. I think the 49ers won, but that was irrelevant to my two-year-old self. This is not to say I was not thoroughly engrossed in the football experience, I just focused on something other than the game. I loved the “sparkly girls,” as I named them. I asked my mom about them, “How did they get down on the field?” “What was their job?” “Why were they so pretty?” I had fallen in love with the “Gold Rush Squad.”
I was so in love that when the game ended and the Gold Rush Squad left, I cried. I cried and cried and cried. I complained to my mom that I wanted them to come back…right now. I cried myself to sleep and that was that.
From then on I watched the 49ers games in order to catch a glimpse of the “sparkly girls.” My trip to Candlestick did exactly what my parents had hoped it would, it ignited a passion.
As I became older I realized something, there was more to football than cheerleaders! In spite of this, I still hold a special place in my heart for the 49er cheerleaders, without them I probably would not be the football fan that I am today.

What to Wear to an NFL Cheerleaders Tryout
Filed Under Cheerleader Auditions, NFL Cheerleader Merchandise | Leave a Comment
If this is your first time trying out for the NFL cheerleaders team, you’re probably wondering “What do I need to wear to an NFL cheerleaders tryout?” Well, you’ve come to the right place because I’m going to tell you the ins and outs of how you can get your hands on the right clothes to wear in an NFL cheerleaders tryout as well as any other kind of cheerleading tryout.
There’s no hard-set dress code in terms of NFL cheerleader audition attire. However, we don’t want to show up in a puffy sweater and sweats now do we? Let’s try to avoid sloppy clothes. Especially, when all the other girls are probably going to be wearing something like halter tops and biker shorts. Yes, that is somewhat the standard on what girls wear to NFL cheerleading tryouts. If you don’t believe me, take a look at these three videos of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their auditions / tryouts process. You’ll see that most of them are wearing some sort of halter top or tank top matched with biker shorts or briefs. Long sleeves are acceptable too but I think girls naturally catch more attention when they show more skin — of course you don’t want to be getting the wrong type of attention so don’t go too far off the skin spectrum. So by all means, watch these videos and get the feel for what the standard is. I’ve provided not one, not two, but three of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tryouts video which will not only show you what they wear in the NFL cheerleaders tryouts but also show you what you need to prepare yourself for and what kind of competition you will be going up against.
Episode 1: The coordinator expects 400 people to show up at the 2007 Tampa Bay cheerleader tryouts. We get a glimpse of some of the participants in this auditioning process. There are two girls who said they both started a program in working out, eating healthy. Other girls talk about why they want to join. The routine starts with a kickline, four girls at a time. Then another short routine where it’s three girls at a time. 100 girls will make it to semi-finals. One of the girls named Erin says she is intimidated by how many beautiful and talented women there are in these NFL cheerleader tryouts. The kicks are not easy and it’s definitely something you should practice on. What the coordinator is looking for in a potential NFL cheerleader is a well rounded female with great talent, speaking skills, and ability to take part in the community. Some of these girls have had extensive experience in dance, while others not so much. For all of them in the NFL cheerleader tryouts, it’s a nerve-racking experience to some extent but nonetheless the ladies have fun learning all that they can during the process. At the end, the cut is made for semi-finals. Don’t forget to notice what the ladies are wearing as NFL tryout outfits - primarily a tank with bike shorts or pants. Episode 2: Semi-finals - The former Tampa Bay Buccaneer cheerleaders from prior year now enter the auditions process and this makes the new girls a bit nervous. I mean who wouldn’t be? You got a bunch of NFL cheerleading veterans who come in and already know what the judges’ expectations are, who have had a whole season of experience. If you were betting on an NFL veteran versus a rookie, who would you bet your money on? However, the new girls know that they need to step up their game and this is their push to do so. To not step it up, would allow the former NFL cheerleaders an easy win. The 2007 Tampa Bay Cheerleading veterans don’t exactly have it easy because they have to work hard. It’s still a competition and they can’t let their guard down. This time, they audition 2 at a time with a more difficult routine. Learning a routine within 45 minutes to an hour, the girls have to get it right quickly. One of the girls mentions that she found herself looking down trying to remember the steps but pulled her eyes up again. It’s not good to let the judges see u keeping your eyes down. Who wants to see a bunch of cheerleaders staring at their feet while they’re dancing? Not me. The dancers also have to remember to smile. So it’s a tough nerve-racking ordeal to be in these NFL cheerleader auditions but they’ve got to go through it in order to perform for these top quality squads. Episode 3: Finals - This time, the finalists perform their routines one at a time. They get on a stage and perform for the coordinator. It’s not an easy deal but each one tries their best and most of them make the squad. Some of the ladies featured in this video that made the 2007 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cheerleading squad include Holly Sellers, Erin Verdel, Rochelle Williams, and Leigh Killian (if you remember Leigh, she was the one hosted on Conan O’Brien Show).By the way, don’t worry that was not the 2008 Tampa Bay Buccaneers tryouts. That was actually just the 2007 Tampa Bay Buccaneers auditions. In any case, you have officially seen for yourself that these ladies mostly wear a halter top or tank top with biker shorts.
Okay, so now you’ve seen what kind of clothes you need to wear to the NFL cheerleader auditions, the question is where do you get them?
One place where you can get NFL cheerleader tryout apparel is The Line Up. I like how they have good designs for their tops and shorts which are perfectly appropriate for NFL cheerleader auditions. Below are some of the pictures of these cheerleading audition attire straight from The Line Up.
It’s easy to order online because they have a sizing chart so you can see what size you need to order. Also, the prices are quite reasonable for such quality apparel. Here is the direct link to The Line Up store which features all their tryout clothes.
Here are is another recommended store, Zonas Designs, where you can peruse if you want to see different designs:
Ladies, if you already have stuff like this, you probably don’t need to be buying anything. After all, there’s the makeup and hair stylists to worry about. But if you find yourself at a lack of clothes, then I suggest getting some of the cheerleading audition attire at the above stores or wherever you can find them. Any questions, just leave a comment and I’ll do my best to answer. Hope that answers your question of what to wear to an NFL cheerleaders tryout / audition.
