NONE of these films are commercial successes. Who's paying to see them?
If you did get your money back, you were probably paid back Ponzi scheme style where your "profits" came from the next round of suckers.
|Kevin Bacon
Wow i got a Doug Stabs Betty audition too! They really do just invite everyone. Only $4,000 for a lead part. What a bunch of crap!
|Hilary Swank
Well heck, if this guy who joined today, has no IMDB credits, and is absolutely 100% real (I promise) thinks it's a good investment then that must be the case. I suppose congrats are in order for this awesome once in a life time opportunity to me!
"Absorb what is useful, Discard what is not, Add what is uniquely your own." - Bruce Lee
I did one film with their team, invested 5k, was Assosiate Producer and now the movie is in distributors hands. They shot on good equipment, are professional and honest, we still stay in touch and are friends. And they are not getting paid. I did 2 other films that way too, with different companies. Other than throwing money in headshots, acting class etc I put it into creating a film so my career is moving forward faster.
On a higher level in acting community a lot of actors invest in producing their own movies or have own production companies; only broke actors are haters. My friend lately put 200k into one TV movie he was a lead in, it was just bought by HBO. It's all business not just art.
|Denzel Washington
What a sad (and yet hilarious) shill.
200k? is that the guy that was offering money for a manager here, the other day?
|Morgan Freeman
Skyline: give us names. What movie were you in? What distributors are looking at it. If you are a producer on the film you are certainly at liberty to tell. And what movie was produced for 200k and was just bought by HBO? Who is this high level actor who put his own money into this movie.
|Glenn Close
(Sarcasm on) I see tons of great movies on HBO with rich actors nobody's ever heard of in the lead roles. (Sarcasm off).
I've gotten emails from this disgusting company to audition for their last several films, including Doug Stabs Betty. Magic Elevator makes me sick, they are despicable predators who take advantage of actor desperation. no one, I repeat NO ONE should ever pay to be in a film they have to audition for. Big actors who invest in the movies they are in are involved as producers from the development stage, they don't audition for the "right" to then pay for a role.
Magic Elevator has a pretty sweet scam going, their little group gets actors to give them money, which they use to cast and hire the Magic Elevator staff ( check the credits). Then Magic E. takes a tiny sum from the pot and rents out a theater so the sad actors who have given them money feel like they are at a big premier, and the film has been "released".
Not sure if what they are doing is illegal, but it is definitely immoral. Shame on Magic Elevator, and I hope actors are smart enough to stay away.
|Glenn Close
Their hit movie "Jaguar" stars the widely acclaimed (?) Berenika Bailey. She is also one of the owners of the Magic Elevator and repped by All American Rascals. I guess they couldn't find anybody with enough cash to buy the lead role. Check out the other trailers on their website before you write any checks.
I know IMDB Starmeters don't mean much but half the cast has a ranking higher than 1,000,000. More than half list "Jaguar" as their only credit.
You just can't make this stuff up ....
Just got an audition notice for Pain killers. Looks like they already had auditions for this one in December.
Ugh! It's so frustrating because I would pay for a good role. It would be a great way to "break in" and have an awesome piece for my demo reel and credit and experience... but who wants to be a sucker?
It looks like every movie they've done stars the owner of the company (a blonde chick with an accent that can't act).
There must be better ways to blow $5000 in order to boost an acting career.
Maybe I should start my own "Magic Elevator" production company and get actors to help me grow my career starring in movies that are made for me. Wow! (Not a bad idea)
Yeah, it's called almost 2 years of great training.
|Morgan Freeman
Holy crap!!! Guess what you guys!!
I just got an awesome opportunity by email. I have been cast as the lead in a MAJOR motion picture. Its an action/adventure/crime thriller/spy/caper/love/hate story and it is starring an awesome a-list actor guy who makes a million trillion gazillion dollars every week 'cause he's so awesome!
And I get to star in this awesome, MAJOR motion picture movie with this awesome a-list actor who is awesome.
All I have to do to get this awesome opportunity is send the director/producer/awesome movie mogul guy a cashiers check for $5000!! How awesome is that?!
And the best part is that it doesn't even matter because the awesome director/producer/awesome movie mogul guy is also a Nigerian Prince!! There was some problem with his bank here so he's going to send me a check for a million and then I send him the 5K and get o keep the rest.
So not only do I get to be the star in an awesome movie with an awesome a-list movie actor, but I'm already rich thanks to the awesome director/producer/movie mogul/Nigerian Price who picked me out of everyone else for this awesome opportunity.
Yes sir, my ship has really come in. I knew all the hard work would pay off.
|Robert DeNiro
Really? Then how come I don't see any "Jason Whitier" on IMDB?
The closest name on there is "Jason Whittier" (with two "t"s), who played "Guy 2" in a low-budget movie, BUT is also listed as the screenwriter AND casting director for that project. So if that's you, it was your OWN project, not something a random person you don't know asked you to be in.
And if that's NOT you, then your "perfect part in a perfect movie" that you paid thousands of dollars to be in didn't even make it onto IMDB! Heck, my daughter's done tons of student films that made it onto IMDB, and didn't have to pay to be in them. So if you paid thousands to be in a movie and didn't even get IMDB credit, that's pretty pathetic.
You all sound like a bunch of bitter, jealous and broke actors. I made a movie with Magic Elevator last year and it was the best decision made that year.
I invested in horror movie and became a part owner of the film and an EP, like few others. I already got my investment back from international sales - they distribute their films in AFM, Hong Kong film market, cannes film market.
They know what they are doing. The chic someone mentioned, Berenika, is not an actress but a producer so you got it all mixed up. In fact she is one of the best producers I've met. There was over 30 people working in that company when I did a film with them and most of them were very accomplished with tons of awards and 30 years of big credits.
To top it off at their premiere I was approached by Abrams artists agent and got signed in.
I simply don't get this primitive hatred way of thinking just because you can't afford to create your own stuff. Actors team up to invest all the time in their own web series/shorts/their own production companies. Yet when someone invests with outside production company and on a feature out of the sudden you start the jealous scream. Shame on those who hate thinking outside the box.

Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- A Virginia legislative committee has advanced three bills intended to improve school safety.
The bills were recommended by a task force appointed by Gov. Bob McDonnell in response to the December mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school. McDonnell submitted the legislation Friday.
One of the bills endorsed Monday by the Senate Courts of Justice Committee would increase the punishment for straw-man gun transactions. Those are transactions that occur when a person legally buys a gun with the intent to transfer it to someone who is prohibited from purchasing a firearm.
Another bill sent to the Senate floor would increase the penalty for entering a school armed and with intent to commit a felony. The third measure would provide civil immunity to anyone reporting a campus threat.

Cheap and last minute theatre tickets in London
Brilliant discount theatre tickets and how to get them
CommentsAdd +
© Mr Andy Bird
Terrified at the prices of theatre tickets in London? Worried that you can't get tickets to a sold out play or musical? Or just a fan of a good discount? The top prices in the West End can be daunting, but cheap theatre tickets abound in London… if you know how to get them. Here are Time Out's tips on where to find them, as well as the best ways to score last minute tickets to sold out shows.
Where to buy cheap theatre tickets
• Discount websites like timeout.com/tickets and lastminute are a good start for finding substantial discounts to shows in the West End proper and a few larger theatres elsewhere.
• Also try the reliable non-profit Leicester Square ticket booth, aka tkts. Located since 1980 in Leicester Square's Clocktower Building, with a second outlet at Brent Cross, it's run by the Society of London Theatre and is several cuts above other, unofficial touts in the vicinity.
• Finally, remember that from the fringe to the West End, virtually every show will have reduced price previews prior to opening night. However, bear in mind that the production will technically still be a work-in-progress.

War Horse 8th August 2013. We queued at 9.15 am to buy 2 tickets at 10am for £24 in total. Thank you Time Out ! We had seats in row A of the stalls . I guess seeing the show close up has its advantages and disadvantages. However I was blown away by the whole performance! I have been known to fall asleep in the front row of a West End musicals, and I am not a big horse fan or historian. But this show kept me enthralled from beginning to end. It pulls on your heart strings from the opening scene. The play itself is incredibly emotional and evokes empathy with both human and animal emotions. It cleverly explores the bonds between family members as well as animals and humans. Not forgetting the too often forgotten impact that war has, and has had on communities and families. The puppets and puppeteers are incredible, bringing life as well as emotion to beautifully created puppets. The lighting and projections add powerful imagery as well as creating an outstanding backdrop. The actors and puppets were beautifully lit. A truly wonderful experience, thoroughly recommend it!

please how can I get this theater free ticket from Nigeria. I am Theater Arts student in University of Ibadan Nigeria. Thanks for been there
I think this is a great idea I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the theater however it can sometimes be a bit over priced. The only thing i wish was that there was a list of all the theatre's taking part as it would help greatly
Report this commment as appropriate
Time Out says "The government's free tickets scheme for 15- to 26-year-olds launched on February 16 and free tickets are up for grabs at several London theatres." www.anightlessordinary.org.uk says "Any person aged 25 or below, i.e. under (and not including) 26, can obtain tickets." Does this scheme include 26 year olds?

|If the Defiant is, as Sisko said, nothing more or less than a warship, then why does it keep getting scientific research missions? It was used for generating a wormhole in "Rejoined", and for investigating the anomaly in this episode. Surely a dedicated science vessel would be far better equipped?
When O'Brien has to leave the ship, he quite correctly says he will have trouble breathing because his body can't absorb the very large (to him) Oxygen molecules. Great, excellent bit of clear scientific thinking by the writers! Of course... he could just put on an environmental suit from the Runabout, which would have an Oxygen supply with molecules that had shrunk just as much as he had.
|Great Moment :
|Seeing the little Runabout zipping around in side the Defiant. Seriously cool!

A peculiar spatial anomaly reduces a Runabout and its occupants to just a few inches long. But after the Defiant is captured by the Jem'Hadar, their only hope rests with one little ship.

- Mitose (1) (remove)
- Identification and characterization of Sgo2 interactions - Insights into dynamic chromosomal localization, mechanism of cohesin protection and putative checkpoint function (2010)
- Sister chromatids are embraced and held together by a ring-shaped multiprotein complex called cohesin, from the time of their generation in S-phase until their separation in M-phase. Shugoshins protect centromeric cohesin from premature dissociation and, hence, are important regulators of genome stability. This work demonstrates that hSgo2, one of the two shugoshins in humans, first binds to kinetochores in prophase, then localizes to centromeres in prometaphase before finally traveling back to kinetochores in metaphase. It is further shown that (1) chromatin binding requires the C-terminus of hSgo2, (2) the catalytic activity of the aurora B kinase is essential to focus hSgo2 at centromeres, and (3) attachment of microtubules to kinetochores is not only necessary for the metaphase-specific re-localization of hSgo2 but also sufficient; pulling forces are not required. These newly discovered regulations allow to formulate a mechanistic model that explains shugoshin's dynamic subcellular localization. An existing conflict in the literature concerns the relative importance of mammalian Sgo1 and Sgo2 in mitosis. Cell biological analyses now demonstrate unambiguously that, contrary to earlier claims, hSgo2 is dispensable for several aspects of mitotic cell divisions. Thus, shugoshin functions are strictly separated, being fulfilled by hSgo1 in mitosis and by hSgo2 in meiosis. Initially, it was unclear how shugoshins exert their cohesin protective function at the molecular level. Using a biochemical approach, protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) was identified as a prominent interactor of shugoshins in this thesis. Shortly thereafter, it was reported that shugoshins protect cohesin by mediating PP2A-dependent dephosphorylation. Nevertheless, it is shown here for the first time that hSgo2 binds PP2A via its N-terminus. A Sgo2 point mutant deficient in PP2A binding is created and characterized by cell biological experiments. Importantly, biochemical assays demonstrate that hSgo2 greatly stimulates PP2A's enzymatic activity. Shugoshin function therefore extends beyond simple provision of a linkage between cohesin and PP2A. Mitosis and meiosis are chiefly controlled by the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), which allows anaphase to take place only after all chromosomes have become properly attached to the mitotic spindle. Central to SAC signaling, kinetochore bound Mad1-Mad2 complex catalyzes a conformational switch of soluble Mad2, thereby allowing its inhibitory binding to the downstream effector protein Cdc20. SAC-dependent inhibition of anaphase correlates well in timing with shugoshin-dependent protection of cohesin. Here, Mad2 is identified as another novel interactor of hSgo2. Precise mapping reveal a conserved Mad2 interaction motif (MIM) in hSgo2, which is shared by the known Mad2 interactors Mad1 and Cdc20. In fact, several lines of evidence show that the Sgo2-Mad2 complex is structurally very similar to the Mad1-Mad2 and the Cdc20-Mad2 complexes. These biochemical studies challenge the current "one source (kinetochore bound Mad1) – one target (Cdc20)" dogma in the field of SAC research. Mad2 binding is conserved in the only Xenopus laevis shugoshin, xSgo1, indicating an important function of this interaction during vertebrate meiosis.

Editor's note: Van Jones, a CNN contributor, is president and founder of Rebuild the Dream, an online platform focusing on policy, economics and media. He was President Barack Obama's green jobs adviser in 2009. He is also founder of Green for All, a national organization working to build a green economy.
(CNN) -- In the wake of Chris Dorner's death, much of the talk has already turned to his political views.
In the wake of a tragedy, it is understandable to ask why this happened. It is appropriate to discuss ways to keep it from happening again.
But we should draw the line at suddenly giving an exalted place in our national discourse to the political rantings of a murderer.
Before he met his end, Dorner took the lives of several human beings and wounded a few more. One of those killed was a father of two. The law enforcement officers killed were simply doing their jobs, trying to keep us safe.
San Bernandino County sheriff: 'This investigation is over'
Today, with the families of the dead still grieving, it is very hard for me to shift away to focus on Dorner's political views.
The families of the victims are still in shock and mourning. Think of their friends and relatives, who are still shocked and devastated. How much would it hurt them if they turned on the TV and heard, instead of tributes to those lost, pundits going on about a crazy man's Facebook manifesto?
We should not be "using this occasion" to debate various theories of racial justice -- not while the blood of the innocent is still fresh on the ground. Dorner's actions have invalidated his notions of justice; killing innocent people is not the proper method to advance the cause of justice, period.
Furthermore, why should any of us participate in giving Dorner exactly what he wanted? We should not validate his quest for attention by discussing his political thinking, especially not while mourning families are planning funerals.
Ex-LAPD cop gains sympathizers on social media
Dorner might have raised intriguing questions on the way to his insane conclusion. But real insights are available elsewhere, from sources that are infinitely more credible.
There are many better spokespeople for the cause of racial justice than Dorner. In Los Angeles, there are hundreds of people who have been working to reform the Police Department through legal means, without harming anyone.
The people who deserve to be talked about today are the victims of this violence and the people who are trying to make positive change in peaceful, lawful ways.
I don't want to reference Dorner in any way except for what he was -- someone who was very disturbed, who needed mental health support and who cruelly took the lives of those devoted to service.

The View Goes Anti-Catholic...Again
Here is some of what the Catholic League has tracked about them. Note, this doesn't include some of the more recent ignorance.
6 comments:

I left this comment on You Tube:
Catholics don't worship the statues. The statues are there to help one focus and meditate on the life of the saint. If an individual Catholic is truly worshiping a statue, they are going contrary to Church teaching.
The Catholic Church of the time did not kill Joan of Arc. It was a Bishop who was controlled by the English who was responsible. The Pope of the time declared her innocent.
I added this as well:
Oh, and Joy is throwing around the term "false idols" a lot. Something is only a false idol if it is worshiped which, as I said above, isn't taught by the Chruch. God himself commanded the construction of the Ark of the Covenant which had images of supernatural creatures. They were not considered "graven images" or "false idols".
These weren't ideal comments, but there isn't much space on YouTube. You are limited to 500 characters.

I am surpirsed Elisabeth Hasselbeck did not come more to defense of the Catholic position. Though I do not know if she is a practicing Catholic currently, I know she comes from a strong upbringing (her family being from the town next to my hometown in Rhode Island). She attended Catholic elementary school, went to high school at Bay View and graduated from Boston College.
I would think she received some proper teaching in this matter at some point.
That said, I am glad I work and am not home watching this drivel.
- Undecided said...
I have a hard time imaging Marcel watch the view. But, then again I have a hard time imagining anyone with watching it. You have to wonder what their average audience is.
In reality who cares what they think, if they even do. Ok I guess I did find something harder to imagine than Marcel watching the view.
- Marcel said...
I have never seen The View, except on YouTube. Thank goodness.
- Saint Maker said...
I do watch that "drivel" from time to time. I DVR it. I'm disgusted each time any of the hosts speak about The Catholic Church.
But Elizabeth Hasselblah is the worst. She is an X-Catholic and they tend to be the worst because they are constantly trying to defend their position. Justify their exit so as to not feel guilty. Anyone who knows the truth and doesn't speak out is one of her accomplices as well. We must speak the truth kindly, though very hard at times, and correct those who are wrong. (She should shut her mouth and read her bible. God is not fond of those who lead others astray. There are grave consequences for such actions.) She has taken many opportunities to speak out against the church.
Today she once again opened her anti-Catholic mouth. I'm trying to get my son to make a youtube video of it.
I'm grateful to those that have been watching The View and making youtube videos. z

Ruby SS earrings
By Kiki
from Toronto, ON
I was happy with the price & earrings which is my birthstone but haven't yet worn. However as I took a closer look there was a small black spot on one of the earring which I've returned. Besides this flaw it is still a pretty good piece of jewellery for the cost.

I bought the sapphire pair, not only because it's my birthstone, but because I've always wanted a pair of sapphire studs!! The size, cut and color are beautiful! I am thrilled with them! I may have to purchase the other gems too!!

The earrings have the desirable green colour, although the colour of one earring is slightly lighter than the other, but then that usually happens when the stones are natural. I love these beautiful Canadian gems.

The ruby matches another ring I have. I read the reviews and I am glad I tried them. Nice size. They are well worth the money.

Nice studs..
By D
from B.C.
I ordered all three gemstone sets for my second piercings. The emeralds and sapphires are not as dark coloured as the ones in the pictures and video, but they are really beautiful in cut, colour, and setting. Quite a noticable size and sparkle when worn. These gemstones are well matched and not cracked. Nice product, worth the price; thank you again Ammolite Gems and TSC.
I stated previously that these were quite a dark blue, but looking at them in the sunlight I can really see the blue color, very nice,

I was scammed/tricked into signing up for 2 years
Posted by
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA -- On July 31, I went to the All American Fitness center located on NW Expressway in OKC to see about signing up for a short-term membership. I was enrolled at a beauty school at the time of the inquiry, and I knew I would be graduating within the next month, so I only wanted to sign up for a month at a time, if it was possible.
I spoke to a man that is the Asst. Manager at the facility. His initials are D.P. I explained to him how I was going to graduate soon, and that I didn't want to sign up long term with any gym right now, so I asked him, "Is there any way I can sign up for just a month at a time?"
"We'll hook you up," is what he said.
He took me on a tour of the facilities, showed me all of the equipment, the usual, and then he took me to the office to discuss prices. He asked me if I would be interested in getting a personal trainer.
I had just quit smoking in May, and I was rewarding myself by joining a gym. I always wanted to have a personal trainer to teach me how to properly execute moves, engage my muscles/core, help me with a nutrition plan, etc., so I figured, what the heck. Let's sign up for a trainer.
He told me the trainer for a period of six weeks would be around $375.00. I then asked him how much would that be with just one month of membership. He told me that my ONE MONTH would cost me $45 dollars. Considering the membership included aerobics, a sauna and access to a swimming pool and hot tub, I assumed that was a feasible price.
I then asked him, "Since the personal trainer is a little more than one month, if I decide I don't want to continue my membership after a month, I can still come to see the trainer for the additional two weeks without reupping my membership, right?"
He says yes. Now he does "crunch some numbers" for me at this time, and tells me how much it WOULD be if I decided to sign up for more than a month. I just nod and say, okay, whatever, but I make sure he knows I'm only interested in the month to month basis.
He NEVER tells me it's not possible to sign up for just a month at a time; he never tells me that in order to have a personal trainer, you HAVE To sign up for a long-term membership.
I was supposed to be at school at 11a.m. It was around 10:50, and I stressed my concern with Mr. D.P. that I would be late to school, so I asked if I could just come back in later to finalize the membership. He says, "This will only take a few more minutes."
He goes to get the contract, and while he's gone, he has me fill out another sheet that has my personal info on it.
About five minutes later, he returns, with the contract in hand. He sets it down, he shows me where to sign for the personal trainer. I sign it. He shows me where to sign for the ONE MONTH membership. He says, "and this is where you sign agreeing you want the one month for $45 dollars." I sign it.
He then has me sign the bottom, agreeing to authorize them to use my credit card to pay for my personal trainer and one month membership. The total was $422.15. I sign it.
He takes the contract, quickly tears off my copy, folds it a couple of times, and then places it in a huge white envelope. I'm in a huge hurry to not be late to school, and I'm giddy with excitement that I have just signed up for a personal trainer... so STUPID STUPID me flies outta there without going over my contract.
I go to the gym a total of three times. Twice to work with my trainer, and once to work out on the cardio equipment. Exactly seven days later, I receive a phone call from the gym.
"Hi, this is so-and-so with All American Fitness. I'm calling to see how you'd like to set up your payment plan for your gym membership."
"What payment plan? I already paid for my PT and my month's worth of membership with my credit card."
The caller goes on to say, "Well ma'am, it says here you signed up for 24 months."
I run to get my contract, and as clear as day, on the front of my contract, there was a section that Mr. D.P. had filled out without my knowledge, where he "crunched the numbers" away from me and filled in 24-months worth of membership on my contract. He had to have filled it in before he brought the contract to me to sign.
I never noticed it when I signed the contract, because
1. I was in a huge hurry
2. I was excited and wasn't thinking I had been tricked
3. I didn't realize it at the time, but Mr. D.P. had his hand resting on the contract, conveniently over the area where he filled out the 24-month membership, as I signed it.
I told this person on the phone that this wasn't correct, that I wasn't paying for something that I never intended on getting, and that I would be at All American tomorrow at 10a.m. to get this sorted out.
I get to the gym the next morning, and I tell a lady at the front desk my name, and I say, "I was tricked into signing up for 2 years worth of membership here, and I want to talk to Mr. D.P. RIGHT NOW."
I stayed extremely calm, I didn't lose my cool, and she goes to a back office to get him.
About ten minutes later, she resurfaces, without Mr. D.P.
"Mr. P wanted me to tell you that the matter is out of his hands, and that if you want to cancel, you have to contact home office, because your three day grace period is over."
Three day grace period??? What's that??? That's something else he never told me, or else I would have read my contract first thing!!!
So I say to her, "So he won't even come out and talk to me about it?"
She just shakes her head no.
Now if that isn't a sign of guilt, I don't know what is. If he's innocent, and I'm the one at fault, then why wouldn't this man just come out and try to clear things up with me?
So I ask for his manager.
"He is the manager."
"Then who do I need to talk to about what he did to me?"
She tells me to call home office. I call home office (from my school later that day) and ask for Ms. M.W. Ms. W. is in charge of cancellations. She hears me out, gets the idea of what has happened, and then tells me she'll look into it and call me right back. She never called me back.
The next morning, I call her again, go over with her again what happened to me, and then she asks me, "Did you sign the contract? Didn't you read it?"
Yeah, I read the contract, AFTER I found out I had been scammed. I admit to her that me not reading the contract was a HUGE mistake, because it's obvious I shouldn't have trusted anyone working for All American.
"Well, you signed a contract. It's a matter of 'he said, she said' now."
I try to explain to her that yes, I was naive and stupid for not going over the contract, but when you're a busy student and mother of four, in between studying, cooking, eating and sleeping, it doesn't occur to you to make sure you read a contract you THOUGHT was legit.
She just says, "Well, we get people like you trying to back out of their obligations all of the time. How do I know you're not lying, and even if he did trick you, you still signed the contract. Simple as that."
She says she's going to call the Asst. Manager and get his side of the story, and she'd call me back. Of course, when she calls back, she says Mr. D.P. (of course) said that I knew what I was signing, and that if I didn't know what I was signing, then why did I agree to the "ALL CLUBS" feature.
All clubs??? He told me all clubs was a feature he would add on because I didn't want tanning with my month's worth of membership. He NEVER SAID it was something I had to do if I was signing up long term. He never uttered the words, 24 months or 2 years. He knew I never intended on signing up for a long term membership!!!
She didn't give two flips that the Asst. Manager at the NW Expy facility is deliberately scamming people. She just kept saying, "Well, you signed the contract. It's your problem now that you have to pay for it, and we won't drop it."
I informed Ms. W. that I would be contacting the Better Business Bureau, and that I would make sure the local news stations in OKC would hear about what happened to me.
"Are you threatening me??"
"If that's what you want to call it, sure."
I have not made a single payment to ABC Finance, the financial institution that handles money for All American. Since I never made a payment after they sent me snail mail, they took it upon themselves to take out a total of $67.76 from my Visa Card I used to pay for the original $422.15 I DID agree to.
I called my credit card, and it is impossible to stop them (ABC Finance) from taking the money out. They didn't even take out the $45 amount, because they knew if I had blocked their payments (which I did attempt to do with Visa) that they could go around it by taking out a larger amount.
I am making it my personal mission to make sure that people looking into a gym in Oklahoma City, or anywhere in Oklahoma DO NOT sign up with All American Fitness. If you do, MAKE SURE YOU READ YOUR CONTRACT!!!! I admit my fault at not doing so, but it's disgusting that someone can take advantage of someone's naivety, and trick them into something that can wreck their financial standing. I refuse to go back to the gym, even though I am technically paying for a membership, unwillingly, through my credit card. I don't want to have anything to do with such a shoddy business.
I consider this an extremely difficult lesson learned. A day doesn't go by that I'm not stressed out with the thought of what has happened, and the thought of the debt I now have due to them.
Please, if you've had the same type thing happen to you with this gym, post it here for everyone to read. Word of mouth is either your best friend or WORST enemy.

How were you tricked?? Did you even bother to read what you were signing??
The sales rep is only interested in commission. They will say anything to get you to sign, that's why its so important to read every piece of documentation. Everyone is always in a rush, and that's what they hope for.
Anonymous on 10/08/2007:
You need to read any contract entirely before signing it. Anyone tries to rush you into a contract, walk away. He does not have any (psyche) power over you. Get up and leave…
When you got home, you should immediately read over the contract terms closely and cancel the gym membership without any penalty.
Most gyms' membership comes with cooling-off period (few days). You can legally opt out a contract without financial and/or legal penalty.
It is also a FTC consumer protection law.
It is an expensive lesson to learn…
bargod on 10/08/2007:
Have you tried canceling the visa card to stop further withdrawls? Not sure if it's possible but may be worth a try. Also follow up with the news station thing. A lot of them have a troubleshooter line and they love storys like this. Don't give up.
Anonymous on 10/08/2007:
Bad idea. She signed a legal binding contract. If she does not pay, they could sue her for the remaining (unused) amount of the contract. He credit score will also be ruined.
Principissa on 10/08/2007:
I agree with Happy, if she changes her information or refuses to pay, they will come after her. She signed the contract stating she understood all the terms and conditions. If she was that uncomfortable she should have left immediately.
Skye on 10/08/2007:
She also has 3 days to cancel. She would of just had to send her cancellation in writing, certified mail, return receipt requested.
Why do people who do not read the contracts complain later that they were taken?? I just don't get it. We, as adults are responsible for our own actions and consequences.
CrazyRedHead on 10/08/2007:
Between being a busy mother of 6 kids, a full time job, being a student and in between studying, cooking, eating and sleeping, I still read my gym contract and knew what I was getting myself into, and now I have successfully canceled my membership.
bargod on 10/09/2007:
Wow. people on here sure arn't positive. They just like to crap all over everyone who makes a mistake.
Anonymous on 10/09/2007:
bargod, welcome to the group. But they say its positive unless I said it then it's negative. But if we only had positive and no negative the light wouldn't come on when one turns on the switch.

Noted. I just like to be helpful unless they deserve to be crapped on.

I agree but then who makes the judgment?
Anonymous on 10/09/2007:
I agree with everyone that said you should have read the contract, but it is such a shame that people cannot be trusted to tell the truth at many businesses. I feel your pain. The only thing to be gained out of the whole experience is that you learned a valuable lesson--unfortunately the hard way. Most people have had that happen to them at least once in their lives--that's how we learn. Passing the word, as you are, is the best revenge.
bargod on 10/09/2007:
I judge all. didn't you notice the last 3 letters in my name.LOL.
Dianec. you are right.Lesson learned I hope.
ScammedByAllAmericanFitness on 10/10/2007:
Yes, you are all right. I was a complete fool for not reading my contract over. I do believe I admitted that in my post, and called myself stupid for not doing so.
This is the first time I've ever signed up with a gym. I wasn't thinking about the possibility of this guy completely scamming me, and taking advantage of the fact that I was naive and in a hurry. The fact of the matter is, I posted this here to let those who MIGHT be considering signing up with All American, that this is the kind of behavior their MANAGEMENT is conducting: scamming members so they can profit. They don't care two flips about their members if they are willing to trick them just to make a buck.
By the way, I did try to block payments on my credit card, but of course, my credit card company told me it wasn't possible, so I had to contact ABC Financial, who is in charge of my payments through AAF now. So I contacted ABC, and I spoke to a very sweet girl that works there. I told her my story, and asked if they could please stop taking payments off of my card, and she kind of sighed and chuckled, then said, "I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh, it's just astounding how many people just like you call and tell me the exact same story, having to do with All American. I wish I could warn all of you not to sign up before you ever even walk in the door."
That was coming from an employee of the company that takes payments for this gym.
So yeah, call me a fool for not reading over my contract. I know that. The point is, this company is purposefully taking advantage of people. Yes, it is a hard lesson learned.

ScammedByAllAmericanFitness -- You got to realize that most the people on here are perfect and never ever make mistakes but unfortunately I don't fall in that category so I am very grateful when people such as yourself take the time share your experiences and "lessons learned". I got to be honest I learn far more from other's mistakes than I do from other's perfection.

ScammedByAllAmericanFitness, I must admit I was scammed by Bally once and I even read the contract that I never signed until they crossed out the things I would not agree to, they still tried to scam me. However I could never agree with PirateWithParrot.
Good review and thanks for the information.
CrazyRedHead on 10/10/2007:
I actually learned from this site. I am a very pessimistic person and always seem to see the bad side of things. I have learned a lot from this site and from some of my own experiences. I don't necessarily agree with Stew on his last comment, but he usually hits the nail on the head.
Anonymous on 10/10/2007:
Stew, your wrong again. I admit when I'm wrong, I picked the Chargers to go to the SuperBowl weeks ago. Lid's admits he is wrong about never wanting to move back to California. DB is wrong when she says college football stinks. See we all admit were wrong about stuff.

CrazyRedHead, if you saw Stew in person you would know he almost never hits the nail on the head, most of the ting he hits his thumb, true!

I'm sure that Stew is a nice person regardless, anyway I have a lot of bandage and iodine.
Jaxs170 on 12/28/2007:
I am having a huge fight with another OKC gym regarding a cancellation. I would advise you read the Oklahoma Health Spa act and compare it's provisions against what is contained in your contract. Read both carefully and make sure they included all of the required provisions of the act because if they didn't you may be able to void the contract.
ScammedByAllAmericanFitness on 01/29/2008:
Thank you for posting that, Jaxs. I will go over that with a fine-toothed comb.
Just to let you guys/gals know, I have been working with ABC Financial, who completely understands that I was scammed. They have been nice enough to waive my "gym maintenance" fees for me, but as far as cancelling my contract, they can't do that unless I actually move or have a dr's note claiming I am unfit to work out. 9_9 I actually had TWO employees at ABC tell me they hear from people that were tricked by AAF attempting to cancel on a regular basis. Just wanted to touch base with you guys to let you know things still haven't been resolved. I actually had an employee at ABC encourage me to "fake" moving so I could cancel. Pretty sad.
ScammedByAllAmericanFitness on 09/09/2008:
New update with great results!!
AAF actually attempted to take me to court to get the money they scammed out of me. I had a lawyer send their lawyer a letter showing that we were going to contest the action, and long story short, they decided to "cancel" my membership for me instead. I got out of having to pay them the balance, and they completely gave me a clean slate, because they KNEW they had no chance at winning.
My attorney was ready to battle it out with them and have them pay all of his attorney fees. Needless to say, this company makes its money by scamming people, taking them to court, and then collecting their money after people "no show" on their court appearance. They were betting on me NOT showing up or contesting it, and instead, when I fought back, they backed down.
My attorney told me that gyms like this are notorious for signing up people under false pretenses and bilking them out of money when the victim of the scam rolls over and gives up. He said that 9 times out of 10, of the person simply has a lawyer contest the matter, they will drop it.
So, the moral of the story is, IF you are unfortunate enough to get scammed by a gym, then DON'T ROLL OVER and give up!! Show them you are ready to do battle, and contest it. They are making their big bucks this way, and you as the consumer must fight back to keep them from winning!
Bailey77 on 09/16/2008:
All American Fitness wronged me in a very similar way. My friend and I signed a joint contract, explaining to the manager that we intended to terminate the contract in July. She assured us we could cancel at any time for 100 dollar fee, and so we signed. Come to find out, the 100 dollar cancellation she so loftily reassured us with is only applicable when the member moves 25 miles away from any All American Fitness center, aquires employment at least 25 miles away from any All American Fitness, and proves both changes. Yes, I know I was naive, but I was nonetheless swindled via corrupt managing by a company who knows they can legally get away with it.
duchessboss on 09/25/2009:
I was also tricked by All American Fitness here in the Tulsa area. They advertised a year for 99. They don't tell you that it is only for three days a week and only limited to one location. Eventually I signed up for a three
year commitment which is going to cost me almost $400 a year. It has been one day since I signed up. Hopefully I can get out of it.
Mike on 06/11/2011:
Look I used to work at a gym and guess what it was All America Fitness on NWE and the May Hefner location and we got this crap all of the time. Look I get that some clubs are liars and I understand that people are stupid and don't read things. But why is that any gyms fault? Here is the deal---the gym is selling you a membership. they even show you option of memberships to buy. Lets say you buy a 600 Membership for 2 years. So, you have now as an adult purchased a membership, now rather than you paying the 600 up front the gym lets you pay it out over 2 years. Well if you bought a car for $600 and the finance company gives you money--guess what if you don't drive the car after 3 months that is not the finance companies fault and they are due their money--just because you don't wish to attend--that os fine don't go--but you still owe the money for the membership you bought. And this bullshit, I'm hard to see....uh then you must be hard of thinking as well because what moron who cannot see straight signs ANYTHING without some assistance. Look YOU bought the membership and agreed to pay it out over time. It is NOT any fitness place to say **** it they don't come---YOU agreed to buy said membership nd they were kind enough to let you pay it out.
thedementedbunny on 07/08/2011:
Same thing happened to me. I was in a rush as well to get an ad deal, they told me I had 5 min to get the deal and rushed me into signing after I said "well I can always cancel, right?" AND HE SAID YES! That was a bold face LIE! I didn't even get the deal cause it was a SCAM. Now I can't cancel and they are charging me $60/mo for a 24 MONTH CONTRACT...which I was told was a 12 mo contract.
Mike Chen on 12/13/2011:
You think you had it bad? at least you can still transfer your contract to someone.
I was tricked even worst. my first time joining a gym. I was living abroad in another country. I could barely read the language. I brought a friend along to help me translate. The gym sales employee was acting extremely nice, but with malicious intent in their hearts. They mislead me to believe I was signing up for paying by month to month. I told them that I didn't have a credit card. They said that it was okay. They said I had to pay the first and last month of the gym membership fees.
I thought to myself okay then the I'm paying for a minimum of two months. I went to the gym twice a week for a little less than two months. After that I stopped going.
On the 3rd month, the gym called me and ask me, "Why I haven't been to the gym?" I told them that I didn't want to go anymore, and then I ask if I decide to come back, "Do I just pay for another month?"
They told me, "Yes, you can come back anytime."
8 Months Later... The gym sent me a bill for 8 months of gym fees. They said I signed a contract for 10-months.
So I signed up for 10-month, but I was totally unaware, and none of the employees said anything about it. I was not even billed until the very end of my contract. It sucks because I can't read the contract and I was totally scammed.

Don't Get Scammed!!!

In February 2009, I was laid-off from my interior design job in Las Vegas, NV. I moved back home to Tulsa, and saw an advertisement for All-American Fitness $25/month NO Contract! When I talked to the salesman he informs me that it is $25/month but there is a $75 sign-up fee. I explain to him that I just got laid-off and it would be a bad idea for me to spend $100 for just one month at a gym. Here's when the swindling started. He told me if I signed up for a one year contract at $25.00/month he could waive the $75.00 sign-up fee. I told him, since I lost my job I had no idea if I was going to find another one in Tulsa, or have to move again. He says, "If you have to 'move', come in and tell me and I'll cancel your contract". Then he adds "Actually, my best friend is an interior designer and she needs a lot of help right now. If you bring me your portfolio and resume, I'll give it to her and I'm almost positive you could work as her assistant". The whole time he is saying this he is looking down at my contract doodling on the paper, no eye contact. He eventually starts telling me what a great Christian he is, and how I should go to his church and get a free cappuccino...I did NOT care what religion they guy was, I was only there to get a one month gym membership. So after a while, he convinced me I could cancel the contract anytime and save $75.00. I signed and initialed the contract, he gave me my gym card and I left....without a copy of my contract.
So for the next few days, I worked on making a new portfolio and resume. A few days later, I take my portfolio and resume to him and he acted like he had never seen me before. After that, I emailed him, called him to see if he gave my stuff to his 'interior design' friend. No response. No reply.
A month later, I checked my bank account and $37.98 had been taken out of my account. So I call ABC Financial (All-American's financial company) to tell them they were taking too much out. That's when I was informed that my contract was for $37.98 for 2 YEARS!!!
Soon after, I go back to All-American and tell my salesman that I need to cancel my contract (like he said I could). He looks away and says, "You'll have to call ABC financial and cancel with them." Frustrated, I go home and call ABC financial who tells me that I need proof that I am moving far (2 utilities bills with my name on it) and a $100 cancellation fee. So now I'm stuck, and haven't used the gym in months, because of its poor and dirty conditions.
A year and half later, I noticed $34.00 and $37.98 were taken out of my account from All-American. I call ABC Financial AGAIN and find out that the $34.00 is for yearly maintenance fees!!! So I tell them I want to buy out of my contract and be done with them FOREVER...the lady tells me, "Well, remember to cancel your automatic renewal" What's that? In my contract it said that my contract automatically renews after 2 years!
Please report them to the BBB, if you also have been scammed.

Not enough bang for your buck
Posted by
TULSA, OKLAHOMA -- ALL AMERICAN FITNESS = 10 GYM nowadays. I haven't been to the newly named facility but I was a VIP member for 2 years. It sucked. Dirty facilities in bad repair except the BA location (sometimes messy but not for long). The rules regarding TV's, music, conduct and apperal only applied to the people the staff didn't approve of as the privileged crowd. If you weren't privileged they were rude, or too busy with their own agenda to tend to yours. I complained loudly enough and long enough to get my membership cancelled without any further obligation. I would never recommend this facility to anyone.

Do not SIGN!!!!!

I received an ad in the mail for All American Fitness stating $10/mo. I only had 15 minutes to take up that offer when I checked my mail, 10 minutes later I was there. I only had 5 minutes to get the contract signed in order to get the deal. I was not told I couldn't cancel... (EVER). I tried the Better Business Bureau, but as it turns out, All American Fitness would rather have bad reviews from the BBB than let one person out of a contract due to their own mistake. I was told I could cancel, which was the only reason I signed! Especially after they told me my $10/mo was actually $50/mo until I renewed my contract after one year. I just received a letter saying I owe $60/mo for a 2 yr contract! Spread the word! All American Fitness is a SCAM!

All American Fitness Cancellation
Posted by

MIDWEST CITY, OKLAHOMA -- I joined with all American in January of 2010 and I have been trying to cancel my membership for a while, so I call around and try to get help form the company, but the ones I call say that they can't delete me from their computers and I ask Why and they give no answer all they say is to call coperate. So I then call corporate and I'm talking to a machine that really is, but isn't helpfuL, as I listen to it talk I click the button for cancellation and what do you know the machine says that I could cancel my membership after 3 days this information was not shared with me or my friends as I filled out the safety papers. All the man tells me is that I could cancel my membership within 90 days, he doesn't tell me if it counts everyday their open or just business days, he doesn't tell me that I have to stay with them for 2 whole years. When I went to sign up hme and my friend told him that I just want to possibly just try it out for a month, because I am a high school student so I would only come 3-4 days a week he says OK. Telling me that I would save a lot and only pay the same price every month which would be just 10 dollars renewal turned out that I'm only saving like $12 from the original price which is $49 for a single person, again he tells me only $10 a month, I DON'T want to renew my membership I want to cancel it, and the guy that "helped" totally screwed me over he should have told me about the 3 day cancellation now I have to stay in this stupid contract 4 2 years reading the back it states that I CAN CANCEL BEFORE 90 DAYS it didn't say anything about a fee or a written note or anything I got screwed by all American and my friend and her husband will be paying the same amount as me for those 2 years now how does that work if we got 2 different plans?

The process by which you can cancel your membership is in detail in the written document you signed known as the contract. Pull it out and read it. I guarantee you that it is in there. Going forward, you may want to avoid making financial obligations without actually reading the document which you are signing.
Amanda Sway on 03/10/2010:
I did read the front of the contract and these thing should have been told to me up front the guy said that I could trust him guess that makes him a liar now doesn't it and I have witnesses to state that he didn't tell me any of this info and that my trust was violated. Also I am visually impaired they should not make that print so small on the back the people I know could barely read it.
PepperElf on 03/10/2010:
you were unable to request they print it up larger so you could read it?
goduke on 03/10/2010:
It makes him a salesman. If you couldn't read the contract, you shouldn't sign it. Not being harsh or mean, but if you couldn't read it you should demand a contract with larger print or take a magnifying glass to it. There's absolutely no excuse for signing something that you don't understand. Salesmen are always going to tell you what you want to hear and dance around the truth with suggestive language. It's what they do for a living. They are not your friends.
jktshff1 on 03/10/2010:
IANAL but, "because I am a high school student" if you are a student, under the legal age in your state, you cannot legally enter into a contract. You might want to look at that.
Anonymous on 03/10/2010:
Written contracts always trump oral contracts. If someone tells you something that is not in the written contract, make sure it is added to the written contract before signing. If it's not added, then it can't be enforced.

Scammed Into A 24 Month Contract
Posted by
OWASSO, OKLAHOMA -- BEWARE: they will tell you that you can cancel the contract anytime, if you move, go away to school, or within the first 30 days, but their financial management group is a nightmare; here is my complaint filed with the BBB;
Complaint Description:
I had a family emergency that has caused me to move out of the state of Oklahoma, to the state of Ohio. I had joined a gym in Owasso, OK on 6/8/09, and moved to Ohio on 7/4/09. I immediately called the gym, told them of the family emergency and my current medical emergency and they assured me that if I moved more than a certain miles away, or if I cancel within 30 days .. June 8 to July 4 is less than thirty days .. also if I have moved more than 25 miles away .. ALL of these things I have done. They said they would take a copy of my ONE way airplane ticket, I provided them that, then they said that wasn't good enough .. I needed to be flying out of the USA or in the military to use that .. then they needed a copy of a new school sched on letterhead, college up here in Ohio doesn't start until the 23rd of Sept. I sent in my financial aid disbursement, and my welcome letter from Columbus State Community College in OH., this also wasn't good enough.
I also sent in proof of address change on bills, airplane tix, school verify. I OVER-VERIFIED my move, as far as I am concerned. When I called the actual gym, they said it was an easy process, since I had moved so quickly, due to a family health emergency. I can provide medical documentation that I have been diagnosed with a tumor in my abdomen, and doubled over in pain, to be taken by squad, along with ovarian cysts, I moved to Ohio, to get better health care, and moved to Ohio to help my Grandmother remain in her home after a series of strokes and the onset of Alzheimer's. I can provide all of this info to ABC financial, and I have provided all documentation as requested, then they add MORE CONDITIONS on to it ???
I feel they are dragging it out to make it longer than 30 days. I called on the 4th of July .. and told them, it might have even July 3rd that I called and sent in emails to get this straightened out. I am worried they are going to continue to withdrawal money. Please help.

Stop calling, and stop sending emails. Sit down and write them a letter, attach your documentation, and send it to them registered mail. Emails and phone calls leave you with no proof or records of what may have been said. They are not a good way to try to handle something like this.

Stay Away From All American
Posted by
TULSA, OKLAHOMA -- The All American Fitness Center suffered fire damage and recently reopened a few weeks ago. There is a large banner at 69th & Lewis stating "$17.00 month NO CONTRACT"
What is a contract. Lawyers can define it as
"Contract: A negotiated oral or written agreement setting forth the terms for an exchange of value between parties (which may be individuals or companies) and under which each party promises to perform an obligation. Certain terms, such as the obligations to be performed and the terms for setting price or compensation must be mutually understood, known in legal lingo as a "meeting of the minds," and promised to by the parties to form a legal contract."
So All American has no contract? Wrong. When I called for the details on what is included with the $17.00 month, I was told by one of the center's consultants that $17.00 a month was all there was and it covered Mon Wed Fri or for $24.00 you could come in any day or as often as you desire. Very fair at this point. Now I ask if there are any other fees or charges, the man says only a credit card or a bank draft for the monthly fees and there is a $199.00 one time fee which he can reduce to $50.00 today if I come in for a tour. I tell him I will be in Wed after work. He calls me Tuesday wondering why I am not there, I remind him its Wed. My wife and I arrive for the tour at 6PM today. A nice young man gives us a tour and takes us to the table. He is dismissed as the original man I talked to appears. Now I ask to see if there is a agreement may I see it now. He showed me the agreement and I stated it was a contract and the Billboard on Lewis stated NO CONTRACT - He wadded up our application, walked away stating, "Have a nice day". All American:
1-Lies NO Contract and asks you to sign a contract
2-You are treated rudely if you ask for the truth.

False Advertising, Not Good!!
tander on 02/22/2006:
Snap a picture of their sign that says "No Contract" and fight it!
Anonymous on 03/15/2006:
Have you ever dealt with a gym before? Of course you need to sign an agreement, it's as much for your protection as it is for theirs. The contract that they are talking about with their advertising is a contract like what Bally's would have you sign, saying you are committed to making that payment for the next 2, or 3, or 4 years. You know, like your cell phone company.
The $17/month deal does not require that you sign one of those commitments. You can end your monthly obligation at any time. This is not something that would be an option if you were to sign the "contract" that they are talking about in their advertising. Nitpick on semantics if you want. But you are wrong if you think they screwed just because they asked you to sign an agreement.
Ignorance must be bliss.
jeanteddy123 on 04/28/2008:
I know how the All American cheats the customers after they coaxed me to sign an agreement! I am so glad finally I quit from it!
CheapItemsStore on 09/16/2009:
All American Fitness is a lier, in fact they got me too!! I am trying to get out of it, I told the manager that I don't want a contract and he told me its not a contract but I have to sign the papers. Can someone help me what to do? I hate going back inside their office because they are all rude.
valerie on 11/14/2011:
Haha told me there was NO cancellation fee, not completely a lie. The company has no such thing as a cancellation fee. You just have to pay up the rest of your "contract" to get out of the contract... Yes that is what they told me.

even the very best HNAC units struggled to maintain a decent inside temperature in the extreme heat.
trmn8r on 07/03/2012:
This place may have poor insulation, which could lead to the HVAC system having trouble keeping up with the load, as the first reply suggests.
gg123 on 12/19/2012:
Actually has nothing to do with saving electric or insulation. The units are 30 years old and they are TOO CHEAP to replace them. They changed to 10 Gym to put more money in the owner's pocket, not back into the club. There are several gyms for $10/ mo and they all have new equipment. 10 Gyms epuipment is older than I am.

Contract Scam
Posted by
OKLAHOMA -- They lied. I told them up front that I cannot do a 24 month contract because I knew I would move in 1 year. They assured me that I would not have to pay a cancellation fee in this situation. When I tried to cancel they are requiring me to pay the fee. They say that my contract says nothing about not pay the cancellation fee. I talked to supervisors at the local and corporate level. They are jerks and corrupt. I wouldn't give a penny to them for this type of customer service if I were you.

It doesn't matter what any salesman tells you. They all tell you what you want to hear which isn't always the truth. All that matters is what is in the contract. We all need to take the time to read contracts carefully and if a business tries to get you to sign without reading it because they are in a hurry to get your signature then you need to walk away.

just write in any terms you wish to add, initial and, sign.

Great place with friendly management
Posted by
MIDWEST CITY, OKLAHOMA -- My husband and I went in to try the place out and everyone was friendly. I had read some bad reviews but had to check it out for myself, and nothing that was stated in the reviews was true. The restrooms and locker areas were very clean, and all machines except for 1 treadmill was working. There were lots of machines to keep me occupied. When going to leave, we talked to the manager and he gave us excellent rates for being military. So far, I would recommend this place to anyone, and will keep everyone posted about this place, the more I work out.

They cant do that and get away with it anymore and thats why they dont like it.The game is simply brilliant, much more responsive than 09, 360 dribbling is superb, passing extremely fluid. I have no gripes with the game whatsoever and it makes Pes feel amatuerish and i was a big Pes fan up until Pes 08.

An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a tear in the ACL ligament. The ACL is located in the middle of the knee joint. It connects the lower leg bone to the thigh bone. It stabilizes the knee and prevents the lower leg bone from sliding too far forward at the knee.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
ACL injury occurs when your knee gets twisted or during a hard landing from a jump. It can also happen with:
ACL injuries are more common in women. Other factors that increase your chance of ACL injury include:
Symptoms may include:
You will be asked about your symptoms and how you injured your knee. A physical exam will be done.
Your knee will need to be viewed. This can be done with:
Ligament sprains are graded according to their severity:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Recovery time ranges depending on the grade of your injury. Treatment steps may include:
Your ligament will need time to heal. Avoid activities that place extra stress on the knee:
Your doctor may advise a knee brace to stabilize the knee, and crutches to keep extra weight off your leg.
Apply an ice or a cold pack to the area for 15-20 minutes, four times a day, for several days after the injury. Do not apply the ice directly to your skin. Wrap the ice or cold pack in a towel.
To manage pain, your doctor may recommend:
Compression can help prevent more swelling. Your doctor may advise an elastic compression bandage around your knee. Be careful not to wrap the bandage too tight.
Elevation can also help keep swelling down. Keep your knee higher than your heart as much as possible for the first 24 hours. A couple of days of elevation might be recommended for severe sprains.
You may be referred to a physical therapist. Your therapist will provide you with exercises to help promote recovery.
Use heat only when you are returning to physical activity. Heat may then be used before stretching or getting ready to play sports to help loosen the ligament.
When the acute pain is gone, start gentle stretching as advised. Stay within pain limits. Hold each stretch for about 10 seconds and repeat six times. Stretch several times a day.
Begin strengthening exercises for your ligaments as advised.
Surgery may be needed to fully restore function of the knee. The decision to have surgery should be made after discussion with your doctor about your athletic needs, age, and related factors.
To reduce your chance of injuring the ACL, take these steps:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Records show that the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority has given tens of thousands of dollars in pay raises to several top officials this year.
The airports board, which controls Ronald Reagan Washington National and Dulles International airports, has been criticized for its spending and hiring practices. An audit by the Department of Transportation's inspector general found employees accepting improper gifts and the issuance of no-bid contracts. Records also show that dozens of relatives of MWAA staff have been hired.
The Washington Post reports that at least five vice presidents received pay raises of up to nearly 14 percent this year. MWAA President Jack Potter says he recommended the pay increases in order to retain highly qualified employees and compensate them according to their responsibilities.

December 15 – Happy Birthday Stan Bahnsen
Bahnsen was a real cornhusker, who was born in Council Bluffs, IA, in 1944 and played baseball for the University of Nebraska. He earned AL Rookie of the Year honors in 1968 when he won 17 games in his first full season in pinstripes and posted an incredible earned run average of just 2.05 runs allowed per nine innings pitched. I remember that season well. The Yankees had finished in last place in 1966 and next to last the following year. When they added the 23-year-old Bahnsen to a starting rotation that already included Mel Stottlemyre and Fritz Peterson, who were both just 26-years old at the time, things finally began looking up for New York.
In doing research for this post, I came across a very funny story involving Stan. It seems that in addition to being a wife swapper, Fritz Peterson was one of the Yankee's all-time practical jokers. He used to always carry a set of padlocks with him and one day, after the final game of a Yankee series, he padlocked Bahnsen's buckled shoes together. There was a bus outside the stadium waiting to take the Yankees to the airport to catch a plane to LA. Manager Ralph Houk and a bewildered Bahnsen were the last two people in the Yankee locker room. When Houk saw Bahnsen sitting there with no shoes on he told him to finish dressing and get on the bus. When Bahnsen told him he couldn't put on his shoes, Houk asked him why. When Bahnsen told him that Peterson had locked his footwear together, Houk just about had a fit.
Bahnsen won 37 more games as a Yankee starter during the next three seasons before being traded to the White Sox in 1972 for a guy named Rich McKinney. He proceeded to win 21 games during his first season in the Windy City. He then went 18-21 the following season and then his right arm began rebelling. He had pitched over 950 innings in four seasons in New York and then over 750 more during his first three years with the White Sox. He ended up his 16-year big league career in the bullpen, retiring after the 1982 season with a 146-149 record.
The "Bahnsen Burner" shares his December 15th birthday with this former Yankee first baseman Also, at the end of yesterday's PBB post recognizing John Anderson, who was the first native Norwegian born Yankee, I asked who was the second Yankee to be born in Norway and gave the hint that he had been catcher Bill Dickey's backup for most of the thirties. The correct answer is Arndt Jorgens.

What you need to know
Pierce Coffee, spokeswoman, Transurban
WASHINGTON - With Virginia's new Beltway Express Lanes due to open a week from Saturday, WTOP's Answer Desk answers to your questions about E-ZPass.
If you have a Virginia E-ZPass that was purchased before the Express Lanes option was announced, will it cost anything?
"If you've had an E-ZPass for years and years you will not incur a monthly fee," says Virginia Department of Transportation's Tamara Rollison.
And while seasoned E-ZPass users won't be charged, new users will pay 50 cents a month for the regular pass and $1 for the car pool E-ZPass Flex.
"We also have seen definitely an uptick in the sign up of E-ZPasses, both the Flex and also the standard as well," says Rollison.
New E-ZPasses will require an initial $35 toll bank. Express Lanes can't be used without a pass.
My Virginia E-ZPass hasn't been used for a long time, and is now labeled inactive, why? And what can I do?
Rollison says passes become inactive when they aren't used for a year.
To reactive, customers can contact E-ZPass, go to a customer service center or go online to ensure their account is in good standing.
