Real Estate Intervention
The Todds bought a rowhouse expecting to stay in it for a few years. However, Chris's job relocated them, and nearly a year later, they've had no offers on their house. The Todds are confused as to why it hasn't sold and turn to the expertise of real estate agent Mike Aubrey.

Floyd Mayweather says he's no winer ... and that's why he's suing a New Orleans wine bar that he claims used him and Justin Bieber to lure Super Bowl fans in for a pre-game blow-out.
According to the federal lawsuit -- obtained by TMZ -- Mayweather claims The Wine Bistro heavily advertised that Floyd and The Money Team would be hosting the February 1 bash. In case you don't know, The Money Team is a nickname for Floyd's posse, which includes Justin Bieber, Lil' Kim, 50 Cent and Miss Jackson.
Floyd -- who in the lawsuit calls himself "the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world and one of the greatest technical fighters of all time" -- boasts he makes upwards of $100k for a club appearance.
But here's the deal ... Floyd says he never agreed to appear at The Wine Bistro -- nor did The Money Team -- and the bar went crazy advertising on Facebook, YouTube and flyers. Floyd is pissed that the bar profited off his name and worries his fans will be pissed because he was a no-show.
Floyd wants lots of money and wants the bar to stop using his name ... STAT!
So is there actually people out there that WANT to hang out with this tool and his group of hangers on? ..ALSO this guy HITS WOMEN......a champion boxer who hit the mother of his kids....and then bitched about being in jail for the very short time he was serving....WOW WHAT A MAN. A man who hits women is an insecure loser...a boxer who hits women...100x's worse. ***He also spends his money like an idiot.....hopefully one day he'll 'get his'
Mayweather Jr. Is a drunk,gambler and narcissist why would anyone believe this woman beater?!
Sorry, the only people that should sue are the people that went to the bar and paid money to see him. His case has no merit. It will be thrown out.
So Floyd, how many shots of sizzurp did you.have with Justin? C'mon,, anything to make this story interesting.
Maybe the club used his name as a crowd control tactic? They knew it would be busier than normal, and didn't want a bunch of pissed off people that couldn't get in hanging around outside. So, they figured if people thought he was going to be there, they would go elsewhere!
Another guilt by association story on Bieber so that his haters come out like the dead in Night Of The Living Dead to attack him. It never fails. Would anyone want to call Beiber a *** or douche in front of him or Mayweather who practiced boxing with him?
By the way, Bieber rarely associates with these people-what's wrong with being friendly with them? Furthermore Mayweather and his daughter are fans of Justin.

Baltimore Comic-Con 2007 Wrap-Up
This past weekend was my first time at the Baltimore Comic-Con since 2002, and wow, has this show ever come into its own! Sure, New York and San Diego had movie and tv stars –and those shows certainly basked in the reflected glow of Hollywood glamour as a result– but what the Baltimore Comic-Con has to offer is, in some respects, even more special: an honest-to-goodness, old-fashioned (and gloriously, unrepentantly so at that) comic book convention.

HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF/WECT) - Crews with the United States Coast Guard escorted a fishing boat back into its dock in Calabash after the engine caught fire with several people on board.
The 75 foot charter boat, the West Wind, had approximately 40 passengers on board, according to Coast Guard officials.
It was over 10 miles offshore from Little River when the rescue crews were dispatched from the Georgetown Coast Guard station.
The charter boat reported a fire in the engine room around 5:25 p.m., and the US Coast Guard sent a helicopter and several small boats to their aid, but the fire was put out before they arrived.
The boat is functional and made its way back to its home port, which is in Calabash, with a United States Coast Guard escort.
Coast Guard officials could not comment on what sparked the fire, but added that no one was injured.
The Coast Guard urges all boaters to carry the proper lifesaving and firefighting equipment at all times in case of emergencies.

By Tom Hals and Soyoung Kim
April 24 (Reuters) - Carlyle Group LP's Synagro Technologies Inc is preparing to file soon for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to restructure its debt, two sources with knowledge of the situation told Reuters.
Synagro is the largest recycler of organic waste in the United States and Carlyle's infrastructure fund borrowed heavily to take it private in 2007 in a $772 million deal.
That deal left Synagro vulnerable when municipalities cut spending on wastewater treatment and other environmental projects in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis.
The company also lost two major contracts in New York City and Detroit. Synagro's Detroit contract was mired in a bribery scandal that weighed on the public image of the Houston, Texas-based company.
Synagro and Carlyle did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Carlyle brought in Evercore Partners earlier this year to find buyers for Synagro, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters in January. The effort to sell the company has so far proved unsuccessful, one of the sources said on Wednesday.
Moody's said the company defaulted on its debt earlier this month. It said Synagro had a $290 million first-lien term loan due in April 2014 and a $150 million second-lien term loan due in October 2014.
Synagro was founded in 1986 and employs 800 in 34 states, according to its website.

A few years ago, Jeff ŌĆ£JediŌĆØ Dennis and Ed Sockey were working somewhere in Tennessee. They would call me every other day just to check in, and see how I was and what was happening back in good ol' Poteau. I could tell they were homesick ŌĆö I knew they were going to be. I get all beside myself when I get out of LeFlore County!
Anyway, they would always tell me, ŌĆ£I love you,ŌĆØ before they hung up the phone. Now, I would always go outside or to another bedroom and whisper it back so my wife, Jenny, or anyone else for that matter, couldn't hear me. I was embarrassed to tell my friends, ŌĆ£I love you.ŌĆØ
Pastor Bryan Fields is always telling us that it's OK to tell another guy that you love them. But for me, it was a little hard just to blurt that out in front of anybody.
Then one day, I'm fishing with Danny ŌĆ£The Doctor ofŌĆØ Love at Lake Eufaula when my phone starts ringing. Guess who? That's right, ŌĆ£JediŌĆØ and Ed, a.k.a., ŌĆ£The He-Man Twins.ŌĆØ
We visit and before I hang up, I go to the back of the boat and whisper, ŌĆ£I love you, too!ŌĆØ
Danny asks, ŌĆ£Who was that? Jenny or Joni Kay (my daughter)? I confessed that it was Ed. You should have seen the look on Danny's face! Now, when I hang up the phone, he always asks me, ŌĆ£Is that Ed calling?ŌĆØ
But one afternoon, everything changed. Rusty White was leaving and heading home when he got up and gave the late ŌĆ£HootŌĆØ Jackson a big ol' hug, and he said, ŌĆ£I love you, man!ŌĆØ ŌĆ£HootŌĆØ told him that he loved him, too. I felt like I was free! I could tell another guy, ŌĆ£I love you,ŌĆØ and not feel embarrassed.
It's funny how guys are, but sometimes your friends may need to know that you love them and care for them! It's not that embarrassing anymore.
Thank you, Rusty and ŌĆ£Hoot.ŌĆØ
Save the world, recycle.
God bless our troops and veterans.
Have a great weekend.
ŌĆö ŌĆö ŌĆö

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
*Ukraine. Russian province (now an independent country) that borders the north coast of the Black Sea. The relationship between Vanya and Professor Serebriakóv mirrors the relationship between provincial Ukraine and Russia. During Chekhov's lifetime and well into the twentieth century, Russia exploited Ukraine's rich agricultural and natural resources to feed and fuel other regions and provinces. Similarly, Professor Serebriakóv exploits the labor of Vanya and Sónya in order to maintain his life and career in Moscow.
Serebriakóv farm
Serebriakóv farm. Farm in Ukraine from which Serebriakóv derives the wealth on which he has built his social position in Moscow. Chekhov provides an increasingly intimate portrait of the Serebriakóv family and the forces that begin to erode the relationships between family members as each act penetrates deeper into the family's history and deeper into the interior of the farm. A crisis between Vanya and the professor divides the household. In the play's second act, Yelena says that there is "something terribly wrong going on in this house." As tensions grow stronger among the characters, the farm becomes a microcosm of society in general. "You know perfectly well it's not crime and criminals that are destroying the world," Yelena explains to Vanya in the second act. "It's petty little emotions like envy . . . that end up with good people hating one another."
Garden. Garden adjacent to the farmhouse and just off the veranda. Gardens, and natural settings in general, are common elements in Chekhov's drama as symbols of the order and beauty of the natural world, providing contrasts to the chaotic lives of his characters. The garden in the play's first act sets the changing lives of the Serebriakóv family against the passive uniformity of nature and suggests an imbalance among family members. Sonya's defense of Ástrov's passion for reforestation emphasizes this imbalance when she explains that people who live in lush natural settings "spend less energy trying to combat nature, so the people themselves are kinder and gentler."

Bentley, Eric. "Craftsmanship in Uncle Vanya." In Anton Chekhov's Plays, translated and edited by Eugene K. Bristow. New York: Norton, 1977. Bentley shows that Chekhov's naturalism in Uncle Vanya is grounded in his mature psychological vision that life has no real endings.
Bordinat, Philip. "Dramatic Structure in Chekhov's Uncle Vanya." In Chekhov's Great Plays: A Critical Anthology, edited with an introduction by Jean-Pierre Barricelli. New York: New York University Press, 1981. Bordinat argues that Uncle Vanya follows classical dramatic construction if the protagonist is seen as...

My view is that if your philosophy is not unsettled daily then you are blind to all the universe has to offer.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson
Find out what the universe has to offer by checking out the reboot of the classic book and television series, Cosmos by Sagan. Is Neil deGrasse Tyson replacing Sagan as the new Mr. Universe? He demoted Pluto and is the author some great books. He also wrote the introduction to the new edition of Cosmos and is the host of the new series. He gets my vote. Brains and humor are an unbeatable combination in my book.
Brian Greene is one of my other candidates. He's the author of many excellent and mind-blowing books. Don't miss the chance to attend online classes at World Science U –FOR FREE! Brian Greene is teaching classes there.

"A Light that Never Goes Out: the Enduring Saga of The Smiths" by Tony Fletcher
This is a detailed story of the band The Smiths by a clearly ardent fan that would certainly be of interest to other fans of the band (like myself), but also to anyone following the history of indie music. They are such an English band, and the author details many locations and subtexts that may not be readily apparent to those who are not native Mancunians or familiar with British pop culture and local history. He talks about all of the band's influences and shows the reader where they fit into musical history. This is a really thick book of 704 pages covering the span of the band's life, so there's a lot of detail here, considering they were only together for 6 years.
"Me before You: a novel" by Jojo Moyes
Me before You is the story of Louisa Clark, and Will Traynor. "Lou" is a small town British girl, living with her zany family, and a waitress in a small Tea Shoppe. She answers an ad in the paper for a companion to a young man, and is hired for her likability and cheerfulness. Will, who was once a very active man, had an accident and is now a quadriplegic. His depression and sorrow are understood, but his mother would like him to live life in a different way. What follows is a combining of heart and soul, as these two unlikely people share their lives careening toward an unbelievable ending.
"The Last Runaway" by Tracy Chevalier
In the early 1850's Quaker sisters, Honor and Grace Bright, set sail for America. They begin a journey to Ohio where Grace will marry Adam Cox, a Quaker, who has settled near Oberlin, Ohio. In Pennsylvania Grace contacts Yellow Fever and dies. With the help of strangers, Honor continues to Ohio. Her arrival, instead of her sister Grace, is an unwelcome surprise to the small Cox household. While Honor struggles to adapt to the Quaker Community in America, she, unwittingly, becomes involved with the Underground Railroad. Once again, Tracy Chevalier has written an informative and compelling historical novel.

"The Greatest Star of All" from Sunset Boulevard. The way this song builds gives me full body chills. I LOVE the orchestrations of this song, it sounds like thousands of strings are carrying the voice along as Max tells the story of Norma's career. It's so haunting, simple and creepy at the same time. This entire score has to be one of my favorites that Andrew has ever written."

To date, Connecticut is on the leading edge of ACA insurance reform implementation as the only state to pass legislation that addresses all seven of the new reforms. California is a close second, having passed legislation on six of the seven reforms.
Nine states—Arkansas, Maine, Maryland, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, and Washington—and the District of Columbia have passed laws or issued new regulations covering at least one of the seven new market reforms, The Commonwealth Fund says.
Collins says it's not too late for many states to get up to speed. Even if they can't, she says, consumers won't be left to fend for themselves because the federal government will step in to enforce baseline provisions.
"The law is sweeping in terms of the new reforms to the individual and small group insurance markets which have made it so difficult for individuals and small businesses to get coverage over the last several years," Collins explains.

Second Career Regrets?
28 posts back to top |
Posted about 6 years ago Do you ever worry that you won't be as successful as you were in your first career? I think about this all the time. I was very successful in my first career but feel so inadaquate in this new career. I realize that I am still a student (in my final semester) but I hate feeling like I don't have a clue. Anybody else experiencing this? |

| Posted about 6 years ago Don't worry - that feeling is so common in nursing school. My advice would be to recognize it for what it is and don't be too hard on yourself for not knowing everything. Trust me, no one in the hospital is looking down on you because every single one of us has been in your shoes at one point. |

| Posted about 6 years ago lb, there is an absolutely enormous difference between clinicals and real life omg I'm a nurse! You're still under continuous pressure by your instructors to achieve basic nursing skills, although you're coming to the end of that phase. Once you begin actually practicing nursing outside the confines of academia, you're going to find all you've learned really suddenly makes sense. |

| Posted about 6 years ago The only regrets I have is not doing it sooner. School is kicking my butt if you know what I mean. I am glad I was exposed to nursing because of my experience, but I wished I would of done it sooner. I am a proud mother of three beautiful daughter. I currently live in Los Angeles California. I've worked as a heathcare provider for almost 10 years. I am curently in school to pursue my MSN in nursing, and wants to work as a pediactric nurse, in public health. |

| Posted about 6 years ago Thanks for all of your comments. I just need to remind myself to slow down and enjoy the ride. Although, some clinical instructors don't always let you enjoy it. Ilol |

| Posted about 6 years ago I don't have any regrets doing nursing as a second career, it's just hard sometimes when someone who is old enough to be your daughter is your 'leader' at work and treats you like a dummy.... moments like that get to me, but I'm still glad I've done it. (I'm just over 40) another aspect of this is that I feel pressed for time to make up for the things I don't know and find myself getting self critical and stressed as a 'beginner' with what I don't know and forget to ENJOY the course - I remind myself I have alot of LIFE experience, have raised a family, worked for years and this experiences enhances how effectivley I work and treat my patients. I still have a good 20yrs in me to be a nurse and thats no small contribution... |

| Posted about 6 years ago Was interesting too the other day at work, one Nurse in particular is always drilling me about medications and she is a young 30yr old who is a whiz of a nurse but really harsh in manner... she has this ability to make me feel like a dufus as she is somewhat aggressive in nature and very highly amped and a go getter. I feel slow and useless around her and keep telling myself not to feel that way. She was in the staff room, talking about her toddler daughter, being new to motherhood and juggling her life... I gave her a few tips as I've raised three kids and worked and she looked at me like maybe I might 'know' something after all. Younger nurses like her forget that we have had other careers and life experiences and have done very well at them.... they only see the student before them who is still on their L plates. I'm pleased today because she is on a months leave and I won't have to work with her .... arent I awful ??? |

| Posted about 6 years ago LOL Jenna, did you push her into taking a month off?? I know what you mean with so many being younger. I'm 36 but I've done alot in my life up to this point. Unfortunately I've missed out on having the family. I think it is great that you did that first. There's still hope for me though...........I think. (lol) I guess I'm just used to people looking to me for help and advise in my previous job. Now, I feel horrible when I let others down. Even my instructors. I just hate letting people down and looking foolish. |

| Posted about 6 years ago No matter how old you are or experienced you are-there are always some people who can make you feel dumb as a post. Sometimes it's their high and mighty attitudes that do it. There was this one nurse (RN) who would always drill me at report. When I was around her, I would stutter and everything would just fly out of my head. Some people can do that to you-intimidate you. She did. I don't know what her problem was-but she made it mine too. I would avoid her like the plaque. I still cringe when I think of her. |

| Posted about 6 years ago charlita said: Char, Do you sometimes think we freeze and stutter with people like her because we are just shocked by the animosity that is so unwarrented? I am always just in shock when someone comes at me with bile in their gut and I have done nothing to bring it on. I find myself standing there taking it because I just can not believe the gall of someone being so hateful without reason. |

| Posted almost 6 years ago Don't ever "let anyone" take away your joy or make you feel inadequate. I'm sure that having someone younger bossing me around or acting like I am a dufus will not be fun, but there will be a day that they will feel just as stupid. Like many have said, being a nurse must be in us or we wouldn't be going for a 2nd career. Stand tall and keep your head up...........there will always be one of us "older women" around to back each other up. |

| Posted almost 6 years ago I am not regretting leaving an almost 19 year first career for nursing. Like you, I am kicking myself for not having done it sooner. The fact is, that life experience does count, and it will give you great inner strength to conquer the challenges that RNs face....I am only in my first official week as an RN (today), and I have to say that the only thing that scares me is being the 'new kid' after all of those years of being the 'seasoned veteran' at my old job.....doing the training was much less nervewracking than being the trainee.....I will get through it all, I know, because nursing is my passion:) "Don't let the turkeys get you down" |

| Posted almost 6 years ago I used to worry about this. But I figure I was very good at management, so if I actually dislike the nursing part, I can just go into healthcare management and combine my two fields. |

The Great Lakes basin hosts every aspect of the nuclear fuel chain, from uranium mining and refining, to nuclear reactors, waste facilities and nuclear weapons production facilities. Radioactive materials are regularly shipped between these sites. Each stage of the nuclear fuel chain has its own enormous radioactive waste problem. In addition, routine emissions of radioactivity from these sites add to the degradation of the world's largest surface freshwater ecosystem. A major accident at any one facility could have a devastating impact on the entire Great Lakes basin. Even if a catastrophic accident is avoided, these nuclear hot spots will have to be isolated and monitored for many generations to come. This workshop will provide an Overview and the History of Nuclear Power / Nuclear Weapons, how they were sold to the public and will provide avenues of legal and political remedy.

Elvis said something along the lines of wanting a symbol of his own to 'represent' him and his work. They came up with Taking Care of Business ... quickly (in a flash) and spent time on the Lisa Marie plane sketching out designs. By the time they had landed they came up with the TCB design with the lightening and Elvis wanted the design on jewellry asap!

Hello Friends -
This PED stuff is really interesting to me. My reaction to the latest reports on Biogenesis was a far cry from the disappointment that I had to similar reports in the (way) past. At this point in time, I'm surprised there weren't more people on the list. Or any Tigers for that matter (well, none on the big league club, prospect Cesar Carillo was linked). If you were to take a pure economic look at using PEDs (laced with tons of assumptions, but hey, I said "economic") I think the risk/reward test isn't so easy. Let's take a look at Melky Cabrera. Here's his WAR and OPS+ in each full season:
Year | WAR (B-R) | OPS+ |
2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 |
2.7 1.2 .2 .9 -.5 4.1 4.7* |
95 88 68 93 83 121 158 |
* suspended for 50 games.
Here's the same table with an additional column.
Year | WAR (B-R) | OPS+ | Salary |
2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 |
2.7 1.2 .2 .9 -.5 4.1 4.7* |
95 88 68 93 83 121 158 |
not listed $432,400 $461,200 $1,400,000 $3,100,000 $1,250,000 $6,000,000 |
And in case you missed it – he'll make $9,000,000 in each of 2013 and 2014.
I think we can all hazard a guess as to when he started taking PEDs. Assuming he did start prior to the 2011 season, why wouldn't everyone in his situation take PEDs? A long vacation and financial security for the rest of your life (I'm ignoring adverse health consequences for the sake of argument); I'll take it. Sure, he lost $2M or so last year, and his next violation would cost him 100 games, or roughly $6M on his current contract. He'd still have made $16M over 3 years – with 150 games in suspensions.
Now, some will argue that taking PEDs hurt his market value last fall, but what would his market value have been had he never taken them?
Moving on.
- Great article on the limitations and frustrations of WAR. Notably, the discrepancies between B-R and FanGraphs. I use WAR quite a bit in my analysis, but it's not perfect. That's why Baseball is a talking sport.
- King Felix signed for $175M over 7 years is about to sign a huge deal. JV is licking his chops.
- Keith Law unveiled his Tigers top 10 prospects list (you'll need insider) – here are the top 5: Castellanos, Garcia, Rondon, Tyler Collins, Danny Vasquez.
- P&C report on Tues, full squad on Friday. Why do the pitchers and catchers go 3 days early? What do they do?

The Civil War was the first time in American history that photography was extensively used to make a public record of events.
The art of photography was only 21 years old when the Civil War started, but it was already hugely popular. For the first time, middle-class Americans were able to have their portraits taken, because photographs were much less expensive than paintings.
Before they left for the war, many Civil War soldiers had their portraits taken by traveling photographers or small photography studios, usually using a type of photography known as ambrotype. Ambrotypes were one-of-a-kind images made on glass or metal and stored in small glass-covered cases.
Photographers not only took portraits of soldiers, they also traveled to camps and battlegrounds. Most of these photographs used a wet-plate negative: a glass plate chemically treated, then exposed to the image from 5 to 30 seconds, creating a negative that could be printed on multiple pieces of paper.
Civil War photographers were not out on the battlefield as fighting was happening; the photographic equipment was bulky and delicate, and the process of exposing and developing the images made it virtually impossible to take action shots.
What photographers did instead was to photograph the battlefield after fighting had ended, often before wounded or dead soldiers could be removed to field hospitals. Field photographers were known to rearrange dead bodies on the battlefield to make their shots look more dramatic.
Here's how you can make your own Pinhole Camera, much like the ones Civil War photographers used.
Fold the cardboard into a box and tape it with black tape. Using the black paper, make a lining for the inside of your box.
Adapted from "Great Civil War Projects You Can Build Yourself" by Maxine Anderson, published by Nomad Press.
I love it
What the heck is film?
Lonnie is correct. They do not mass produce 110 film but you can find rolls of them online for $8 a roll which is rather pricey. maybe some adjustments could be made to use a more available film.
I still don't entirely understand how this makes a picture. The world is quiet here.
110 film has not been produced for many years. Neither has 126, which would have been a better choice anyway. This a neat project but it needs to be re-thought.
another great tool to learn for survival mode when the power grid gets burned out and we dont have cell phones/ computers working!!

When harsh winter weather hits Northeast Ohio, area hospitals oftentimes rely on The Centers Emergency Preparedness team to respond to resource requests and provide critical weather and sheltering information.
Cleveland, Ohio (PRWEB) February 13, 2014
When harsh winter weather hits Northeast Ohio, area hospitals oftentimes rely on The Centers Emergency Preparedness team to respond to resource requests and provide critical weather and sheltering information.
During the recent harsh winter weather, The Centers Emergency Preparedness team played an important role between regional hospitals and the Cuyahoga County and City of Cleveland Emergency Management Agencies (EMA). In response to issues of reported water line breaks due to frozen pipes and heating issues with frozen HVAC systems, The Center functioned as the liaison between the hospitals incident commander, the Emergency Operations Centers and the Ohio Department of Health Department Operations Center.
When harsh winter weather sweeps through our area, situational reporting to the appropriate organizations is the key link to ensuring all agencies are covered for any type of assistance and resource requests they may need to get their facility back to normal operations, said Beth Gatlin, RN, MA-HSM, ASPR project director, The Center for Health Affairs. If resources are unavailable from local vendors, we have the ability to extend our network to all hospitals in the region and state agencies to request what is needed.
A regional and statewide memorandum of understanding was signed by all hospitals in the state to ensure necessary resources are shared with affected hospitals during extreme weather events.
The regional memorandum has been activated infrequently over the last six years for requests such as industrial air conditioners and fans during the heat of summer when HVAC systems go down, potable water supplies for patients and staff when a water main breaks and most recently for carpet extractors and blowers for flood clean up. Gatlin said.
The Centers Emergency Preparedness team has built this communication network for hospitals to use between and among systems. It ties them directly to each other and to other community response agencies and emergency management.
All emergencies begin locally, but if assistance is needed a well-planned communication network eases the burden of hospitals resource requests and improves the hospitals ability to maintain patient and staff safety, Gatlin said.
To learn more about how The Centers Emergency Preparedness team responds to harsh winter weather and other emergencies, contact Beth Gatlin via email or at 216.255.3665.
As the leading advocate for Northeast Ohio hospitals, The Center for Health Affairs provides members with vital services and resources aimed at enhancing the regions healthcare community. The Center delivers on this goal by focusing its efforts on areas that benefit from a regional approach: Healthcare Workforce; Emergency Preparedness; Public Policy & Advocacy; Finance & Reimbursement; and Community Initiatives. With a rich history as the Northeast Ohio hospital association, dating back to 1916, The Center serves as the collective voice of hospitals and the source for Northeast Ohio hospital and healthcare information. As leaders, we continuously scan the periphery, looking for opportunities to enhance the regions workforce, better prepare our hospitals for an emergency, and increase the regions wage index. And because of our business affiliation with CHAMPS Healthcare, we have the resources to provide a broad level of professional services to our members. The Center, located in downtown Cleveland, is proud to advocate on behalf of 38 acute-care hospitals and two long-term acute-care hospitals in six counties. For more, visit chanet.org.

For many people a vacation in Italy is a once in a life-time experience and it's only natural that many travellers try to do as much as possible while on vacation so that vthey feel they get their monies worth from their vacation. We have to do this and we have to do that, when in fact it's your vacation to do as you please. So don't let others who have already travelled to Italy bombard you with ideas on what to do when you visit Italy.
Firstly, remember you're on vacation in Italy and not to try to over-do things. Travelling in a foreign country, does it make sense to have a busy itinerary that you would struggle to accomplish in your own country let alone a country you have never visited before? We'll assist you planning the right vacation for you and your family, and along the way we may even enlighten you on what to do in Italy to enjoy a good balance between organized activities and free-time to explore Italy on your own.
As a long-term resident in Italy, I know already that the best time to enjoy Italy is either early in the morning or in the evening hours when tourist hordes haven't arrived or have already passed on to other places when you can wander around the city centres of Rome, Florence or Venice to enjoy a more intimate and authentic experience of Italy. Like the old saying you can't see the forest for all the trees, a stroll around the piazza's of Rome in the evening hours will provide you with a very different experience of Rome.
Enjoy getting lost, explore those narrow streets and follow those enticing aromas and sounds to discover what's going on in your local neighborhood. Be a free spirit and experience the places you visit as an Italian would do!
This is what to do on your vacation in Italy if you really want to enjoy Italy and all its many varied attractions. And along the way you might discover something that will make your vacation - a special meal at a local trattoria you discovered lost in the back streets of Rome, an item of clothing that you found at a local artisan shop on the left bank of Arno or down a narrow calle in the labyrinth of the hidden Venice where you purchased a hand-made Venetian mask.
When you book one of our vacation packages we'll take care of your essential needs in regards to hotels, transfers, train tickets, and tours to help you realize your ideal vacation. Then, the rest is up to you as you'll know what to do on your next Italy vacation.

1997 Lincoln Town Car Cartier
ProsSoft, pillowy ride, roomy cabin, huge trunk, runs on regular gas. ConsSucks gas, but expected from a large car. Oddball factory audio system.
I Have No Reason To Buy This Car. — Yet I bought it anyway. I can rationalize that I needed a bigger car, with actual back seats, for when people visit from out of town. Truthfully, it'd be more economical to rent a larger car when need arises. I can rationalize that I needed a winter car when it's cold outside. Truth is with it's small cabin, thin firewall, and cloth seats, the Miata will warm up a lot quicker than this. With both cars being rear drive with no traction control, the Lincoln might have a slight advantage in rare Georgia icy conditions only because of the sheer amount of metal I have around me due to its size. I drive them both nearly equally, though I favor the Town Car more for longer interstate commutes because it'll burn less gas than in mixed driving. But I do enjoy this car and don't regret buying it. It's been rock solid so far. There's an open Ford recall on the cruise control module that needs to be done. The part is on national back order so right now the cruise control and horn don't work. CC isn't entirely necessary in Atlanta traffic, but a horn would be nice. My middle finger is getting tired. I love the soft ride aided by the air suspension. I specifically wanted a Town Car just for that reason, something diametrically opposed to a Miata riding on 40-series 17s. And the trunk, it's comically huge. I only keep a small ice scraper in it. Plenty of room for a subwoofer. Service date: 12 October 2007 to present. Gasoline used: 87 octane over 2100 miles, averaging 20.66 mpg. Per gallon price ranged from $2.639 (10/19/07) to $2.959 (12/30/07).

1997 Lincoln Town Car Signature
Prosthe ride, the looks, the sound system Consonly complaint I have is the door hinges weren't adequate to support the heavy doors. They'll have to be replaced at some point.
I Wish To Hell They'd Resurrect This Body Style And Paint Color. — I've owned five Town Cars in my life: two 88s, a 94, 95 and this one, the last of its kind before Lincoln rounded off all the edges. Many consider them vehicles for the graying. But I adore this lap of luxury. Always have! |
1997 Lincoln Town Car Executive
ProsGreat luxury car with plenty of room, like riding a plane! ConsInner city driving can be costly
If You Want A Nice Roomy Car To Go Out On The Town In Or Vacation, This Is The One! — I have gotten great feedback on the look of this car. I have had to make a few minor repairs, yet the transmission and engine are very strong. It is great to drive, I want to keep it, but I need more room. The 22" rims makes it stand out. Gas wise it great on the road, but okay in the city if you keep up the maintainence. Primary Use: Family transportation |
1997 Lincoln Town Car Cartier
Pros6 body trunk ConsGas Mileage
1997 Lincoln Town Car Cartier
ProsSemi-fast for its size, easy to mod up Consit is really heavy and therefore not as fast as it could be
Town Car Rocks Lol — This car is awesome, it can take a beating and is a blast to drive. lots of room, 4 doors, big trunk, nice sound system, looks pretty sweet, good engine to make fast and is reliable. Mobster car for sure. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
1997 Lincoln Town Car Signature
ProsComfort, reliabilty. ConsIf you're looking for performance, don't get one of these.
Great Commuter If 20 Miles A Gallon Is Acceptable. — Pinnacle of straight luxury. Don't think you can race in one of these, but you won't be hurting for power getting on a freeway or up a hill. Slow down for turns... way down. It's two tons on car on a truck frame. Easy ride like driving a leather couch on a pillowed suspension. Gas mileage isn't as bad as an SUV, so for a lot of freeway miles, you could do a lot worse. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
1997 Lincoln Town Car Executive
Prossmooth ride, comfortable seats, good power Consstereo, big and hard to park
Town Car — Very smooth riding, enough power for its size, reliable overall its a good car. there are a few things that could have been improved like the stereo not so exciting, but its made up but superbly comfortable seats. i wouldnt buy it but i didnt ming having it Primary Use: Commuting to work |
1997 Lincoln Town Car Signature
Prossmooth ride, good gas mileage, beautiful car excellent condition see review above left Consnone
I Love Lincolns — I liked the ride, the available space and the fact that I got fairly good gas mileage for a large car. It was enjoyable to drive. This is my 2nd Lincoln Town Car and the 6th in my immediate family. I would recommend to everyone. I \t was in excellent condition no repairs needed no rattles. |
1997 Lincoln Town Car Signature
ProsPowerful engine, built like a tank, comfortable interior ConsGas mileage, turning radius, super sized
1997 Lincoln Town Car — When someone looks at my 97 Town Car, they don't view it as a threat. However, this car is a trooper. I beat my friend's 1999 Audi A6 in a 0-60 drag the first month I had it. It can get there in under 9 seconds, which is pretty good for such a heavy car. The wheel turns like butter, but the radius could be better, but braking is pretty good. This car is built like a tank, durable and strong. However, this car is built with style. It doesn't look as streamline as new cars, but it stands out in a crowd. Warning: if you buy this car, expect to pay 70 dollars for a fill up in the meantime averaging 13 city 20 highway. But, if you dont mind gas, you will love this car!!! |
1997 Lincoln Town Car Signature
Prosn/a Consn/a
Like Driving A Couch — This car is all about comfort. I often say it is like driving around on my living room couch. It has an eight-cylinder engine that responds to the request for acceleration and speed. I love the digital dash; wish my car had it. The mileage is not bad either; I get about 22 miles to the gallon. All in all, if you find one of these that has been kept up, you should seriously consider owning it |
