July 9, 2013East beats West in annual baseball All-Star game at Comerica Park
By Mike Moore
C & G Sports Writer
DETROIT — As the rain got stronger, so did the determination to make this night a success.
A delay was acceptable — a postponement, impossible.
So they waited, patiently pacing in the dugout and in the concourse.
The 7 p.m. start time came and passed, but when a once-in-lifetime opportunity presents itself, extra time within a Major League ballpark isn't that big of a deal.
"Nobody really likes rain, but it made this night a little longer," Mike Morris said with a smile. "You can't really complain too much about that."
No, but one can enjoy it, and on July 1, some of the best and brightest high school baseball players in the state certainly did.
"This whole thing was an awesome experience," said Harrison Township L'Anse Creuse's Bob Walmsley. The Lancers' skipper served as the head coach for the East squad in the 2013 Michigan High School Baseball Coaches Association All-Star game at Comerica Park. Morris, the Troy Athens coach, was one of Walmsley's assistants. "To be down here, to work with these kids and see how much they enjoyed it, it was all awesome."
Roughly 95 minutes after its scheduled time, 36 total players from the East and West squads put on a nine-inning show for the more-than 1,100 fans in attendance, unofficially capping the 2013 season.
"It was a blast, an absolute blast," Morris said on the field after the game. "To be with these 18 kids and watch them work and play, it was pretty special."
"It was pretty exciting, to be on this field, play with some future teammates and against some kids I'll play against next year," said Lathrup Village Southfield-Lathrup outfielder Johnny Slater. The University of Michigan-bound Slater finished with two hits, a stolen base and two runs scored in the East's 9-4 victory. Slater (Atlanta Braves) was one of four players in the game that was chosen in the 2013 MLB draft. "I'd been on this field before, but to actually get to play a game was pretty cool."
"It felt really good," said Lake Orion High's Nick Deeg. He started on the mound for the East just weeks after getting drafted by the Tigers in the 37th round.
While the talent was undisputed, the delay and lack of a pre-game routine took its toll, as the teams combined for seven errors on the night.
A pair of miscues and a groundout allowed the West to get on the board in the top of the first, taking a 1-0 lead without recording a hit.
Slater singled to lead off the bottom half of the first for the East and scored when Warren De La Salle's Cole Clifton walked with the bases loaded.
Shortly after, Detroit Western International's Hector Gutierrez cleared the bases with a double to right, and the East led 4-1 after the first.
In the bottom of the second, Macomb Dakota's Travis Perkola doubled with two outs and then scored on an overthrow as he attempted to steal third, giving the East a 5-1 advantage.
Leading 6-2 after three innings, Grosse Pointe Woods University Liggett's Connor Fannon tripled home a run in the fourth for the East and later scored when Grosse Pointe South's Carmen Benedetti tripled to deep center.
The East added another run on a fielder's choice, and led 8-2 after four.
Fannon reached on a dropped fly ball in the sixth and scored for a second time on a Ryan McClelland (Brighton High) single.
The West added its final run in the top of the ninth.
"What an experience," Fannon said afterward. He was named the East team Most Valuable Player after pitching in the game, as well. Gull Lake High's Pat Gaudard took home the West MVP honor. "The whole setting is so perfect — the field, the lights, everything. To (earn MVP) was just the perfect ending to four years of baseball at Liggett."
Asked about stopping the East's two-year losing streak, Walmsley said simply, "Not too bad."
"I mean, we're all competitors," he added with a smile. "You're down here having fun, but you still want to win."
"We wanted to win badly," Clifton said following the game, which didn't end until after 11 p.m. "It was a huge win for these guys."
Other East players local to the C & G coverage area included Robert Griffin (Sterling Heights Stevenson), Ian Harrison (Troy Athens), Billy Malak (Madison Heights Bishop Foley), Connor Mohr (Farmington High) and Chase Turner (Beverly Hills Groves).
"To see these guys enjoy it the way they did was pretty cool — something I will always remember," Walmsley said. "They were on the top of the dugout, other guys were putting their bats in the same spot as (Miguel) Cabrera and (Prince) Fielder to have some luck rub off. I was kind of like a kid, as well, just being part of all this."

U.S. drug agents nab 300 members of Mexico's deadliest drug cartel. Gang members strike back. Los Tigres del Norte releases song calling drug runners "dogs" and politicians "fat pigs." The swine flu death toll reaches 328. The stock market plunges. Sales of monster masks soar.
Top news: In what U.S. officials are calling their biggest Mexican drug operation ever, federal agents swept 19 U.S. cities this month, arresting 300 members of "La Familia," one of Mexico's deadliest drug cartels. Codenamed "Operation Coronado," the sting was part of a 3 1/2 year investigation that has netted 1,200 drug traffickers from La Familia, an ultra violent, quasi-religious gang based in the state of Michoacan, the homeland of President Felipe Calderon.
South of the Rio Grande, Mexican police joined the U.S. offensive against La Familia on Oct. 27, detaining one of the gang's capos as he headed to bet on a cockfight. Known as "El Clinton," the suspect allegedly masterminded the murder of a Mexican mayor earlier this year.
Such mayhem leaves many Mexicans feeling desperate. Some are turning to vigilante justice to clean up the streets. In a recent case, vigilantes beat five teenage boys who allegedly robbed a house, forcing them to French kiss each other and threatening them with rape. A video of the incident, posted on YouTube on Oct. 23, drew condemnation from human rights groups but praise from others who hailed its makers as heroes.
Such upheaval has also inspired musicians. Los Tigres del Norte, a popular Latin band, caused a commotion with their new song criticizing the Mexican drug war. Entitled "La Granja" or "The Farm," it compares the drug cartels to dogs, the politicians to fat pigs and poor Mexicans as the peasant farmers caught in the middle. Los Tigres were scheduled to play at a prestigious awards ceremony in Mexico City, but withdrew when they were asked not to play the song.
Some Mexican farmers, however, are less concerned about cocaine and more about corn. This month, the government granted its first permits to Monsanto, Dow AgroSciences and Pioneer to carry out tests on Mexico's genetically modified corn. Some farming and environmental groups are campaigning against the GM crops, claiming they threaten the native varieties of Mexican maize.
The H1N1 flu virus, commonly known as swine flu, continued to spread in the second half of October. On Oct. 28, the Mexican government announced the death toll had reached 328 out of 50,234 confirmed cases. The most infected states are Chiapas in the south, Yucatan in the east and Nuevo Leon in the north.
Money: Through late October, Mexico's Senate was engulfed in a raging debate over tax reforms to bolster next year's budget. Amid falling oil revenues, Mexico is under pressure from the international investment community to increase its tax base to balance its budget. On Oct. 28, Finance Minister Agustin Carsten urged senators to back consumption tax hikes that include a 2 percent levy on food and medicine and raises the VAT from 15 to 16 percent.
In the midst of the debate, President Felipe Calderon lashed out at corporate tax dodgers. In a speech to business leaders on Oct. 29, the conservative president scolded big companies for not paying their dues. "I am not asking companies in Mexico to pay more than what a dentist or an employee pays," he said. "I am asking them to put in what they need to, to observe the law."
Mexican stocks followed world markets in a downward plunge in late October, falling for six consecutive days, the longest drop since January.
Elsewhere: Sales of monster masks, jack-o'-lanterns and broomsticks surged as the Halloween and Day of the Dead festivals approached. In recent years, the American Halloween holiday on Oct. 31 has merged with Mexico's Day of the Dead on Nov. 1 and Nov. 2, creating a three-day free-for-all of witches, spirits and parties. Those in the Mexico City area can find the most colorful festivities in the city outskirts of Mixquic. The celebrations, which stretch from Mixquic's plaza to its cemetery, peak at midnight on Nov. 1.

"Usually we have it in our museum," said Diane Paul, a Christmas Tree Festival organizer. "A lot of people in New Bremen don't know what the Lockkeeper's House is about, so this gives us a chance to show them."

Minster's Kayla Albers added 11 points and Sara Dahlinghaus had 10 points.

Kylie Kahlig scored 12 points to lead a balanced Fort Recovery attack. The Indians had nine players get into the scoring column, including 10 points from Olivia Schwieterman.
NEW BREMEN — After jumping out to a 22-5 lead after the first quarter, the defending state champion Anna Rockets coasted from there to defeat New Bremen 67-21 in the championship game of the annual Cardinal Tip-Off Classic on Saturday night.
Paige Lehman scored 19 points and the New Knoxville Rangers held the Van Buren Knights scoreless in the fourth quarter in a 59-11 victory in the consolation game.
Daniel D. Young, 68, of Mendon, died at 5:25 p.m. Friday, Nov. 25, 2011, at the Laurels of Shane Hill Nursing Home.
He was born on Oct. 20, 1943, in Mercer County, the son of Harry Benjamin and Ida Ruth Dietch Young, and they preceded him in death.
On Sept. 6, 1965, he married Carolyn Ann Coffman, and she survives him.

quote:But don't look for "logic" in any government dictionary. In the summer of 2011, the IRS sent the family an unsigned report appraising "Canyon" at $15 million. When they rejected the valuation, the government upped the ante: The appraisal was increased to $65 million, which yielded a $29.2 million tax bill. And the IRS levied a special "undervaluation penalty" of 40%, applied in cases where a party has made what the IRS deems a "gross understatement" of a property's value. That added $11.2 million to the tab. Plus interest.

NOTE: my computer knowledge is zero and computer language and technicalities go above and beyond my mind so please bear with me.
Though the topic subject may says it all, Revit and I go way back when I first installed it (successful install) but it didn't use to launch at all. I tried to uninstall it and that gave me error too. I figured that a lot of people were having the same problem so I found the best related topic to mine and did a few things here and there but nothing seemed to work so I finally got a plug-in program recommended in the threads and UNISTALLED Revit Architecture with microsoft FixIt appication.
I just upgraded all my previous versions of AutoCad and 3dsMax so I thought why not to install Revit Architecture 2013 and give it a shot weather or not it will install.
Obviously REVIT ARCHITECTURE 2013 is NOT installing at all. and here are the error messages I am receiving on the initial setup
PLEASE help me with this problem. So I need a clean up? What can I possibly do to get this working.
I am using Windows 7 64-bit operating system
and this is the error messaging I am getting upon Launching the Autodesk Revit 2013 Setup (not Revit Architecture) from download manager (Autodesk_Revit_2013_English_Win_32_64bit_wi_en-US
It seems as though your Windows is in pretty bad shape, actually.
Start here:
Then make sure your firewall is disabled temporarily and that you have local admin rights to install. You willl need to have unrestricted access to the Internet to complete the Revit download.
Nope, even after i did as u told so, as soon as i click "Autodesk_Revit_2013_English_Win_32_64bit_wi_en-US
Revit requires additional downloading. So clearly your computer, firewall, proxy server, web gateway, something... is blocking that access.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Toxic Bond Auctions (Final)
Promising Drug
For his second "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer spoke with Don Bailey, president and CEO of Questcor Pharmaceuticals (QCOR), a small biotech company whose primary drug, Acthar, has a lot of promise. Shares of Questcor trade at 23 times earnings and the company has a 42% growth rate.
Bailey explained that Acthar is used to treat autoimmune diseases such as muscular sclerosis. He said the drug costs $24,000 a vile and is only prescribed a few thousand times a year so far. Bailey said that his company has a safety net in place to see that all eligible patients can receive the treatment and in some cases the government pays for it, while in others insurance will.
Bailey also noted that Acthar has a complicated extraction and manufacturing process, so it's unlikely that the drug will ever face generic competition. He was also upbeat on finding new indications for the drug and said it's already being used for spasms in children and also for some kidney ailments.
Cramer said that Questcor remains a promising company and its drugs could be used by hundreds of thousands of patients.Lightning Round
Cramer was bullish on Colfax (CFX - Get Report), Verizon (VZ - Get Report) and AT&T (T - Get Report). Cramer was bearish on NII Holdings (NIHD), Frontier Communications (FTR), Akamai Technologies (AKAM) and VirnetX (VHC).Trading Natural Gas
In his "No Huddle Offense" segment, Cramer opined on the difficulty in picking stocks that fit a "green" thesis. He said that everyone loves wind and solar plays, but those need subsidies to survive. THe same applies to ethanol stocks. Cramer said that recycling is interesting, but that tends to be too volatile. He likes energy conservation plays, but those are also economically sensitive. That's why Cramer has been focused on natural gas this week, as it's a cleaner, if not a totally clean, fuel. But even there Cramer said there are problems. He said if President Obama is re-elected, it's unlikely that natural gas will be adopted for surface vehicles, but if Republicans win, it likely will. So what's an investor to do? Cramer said they should split the difference and buy Chart Industries (GTLS - Get Report), which makes equipment to liquify natural gas. He explained that if we use natural gas for vehicles, we'll need to liquify it, and if we export it, we'll still need liquifying equipment. Chart Industries, he said, wins both ways. --Written by Scott Rutt in Washington, D.C. To contact the writer of this article, click here: Scott Rutt.

Teachers Needed in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Russia
Posted By: The KB-BRIDGE International School <email@example.com>
Date: Thursday, 10 July 2014, at 4:29 p.m.
The KB-BRIDGE International School, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Russia (JOB CODE: IB-KB-2014)
KB-BRIDGE is the largest privately owned, non-state institute in the Sakhalin Oblast region. Founded in 2006, KB-Bridge has been delivering English language learning solutions to this economically forward moving community and a culturally rich and diverse region of the Russian Far East. Within any academic year, KB-Bridge caters to about 1000 learners of English as a foreign language. This includes children of all age groups and adults as well.
With the growing expat community and the presence of many international businesses in the region, these is a demand for an internationally recognized primary school with the ability to cater to the expat community. KB-Bridge has initiated setting up of a school that can offer the IB PYP programme for children of expat employees as well as for children of Russian origin who are mobile as a result of their parent's professional mobility.
Yuzhno, as is popularly known, is a city with two distinctive faces: an amazing green face in the summer and an extraordinary white face in the winter. The school operates two centers for ESL delivery, a Kindergarten and a primary school (IB-PYP). Located in the heart of the city, KB-Bridge is a well known, popular and reputed partner in providing educational services.
Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk (Russian: Ţ́ćíî-Ńŕőŕëč́íńę) is a city and the administrative center of Sakhalin Oblast, Russia. Due to significant investments from oil giants like Gasprom, ExxonMobil, Shell Sakhalin Energy Investments, the region has become the eastern hub for a lot of economic progress.
More recently, the city has been dubbed the "City in the Sunny Valley" since it is uniquely situated between two mountain ranges. This unique positioning protects this city from hurricanes, typhoons and blizzards. The city has seen a great deal of change along with the development it continues to experience. Sometimes referred to as "Treasure Island", it is energy independent and also meets the energy needs of its neighbors.
Apart from oil & gas, the region has historically been a rich source of forest related products; it is also the third-largest producer of fish products in Russia's Far East. This international & cosmopolitan reality of this region is the reason why it is quite common to find local people speaking most of the regional languages, like Korean, Japanese, Chinese apart from Russian, the native language. Also, the region is culturally rich and diverse and provides for a thrilling experience of international cuisine, a high quality of life, and plenty of out-door sporting activities (both summer and winter).

2013 and earlier Nissan Altima Prices Paid and Buying Experience
skyfan1 Posts: 37I am wondering if you think the extended warranty really saves you money. Are you all buying them? If so, when are you buying them and how much are you paying? I hear that if you want them, the price is negotiatble. So far, my new Altima is 5 months old, and I have not bought the warranty.
jcharbo Posts: 1Im heading to a dealership tomorrow to check out a deal on this 2011 2.5S sedan:
- Premium Audio Pkg
- Convenience Pkg
- Convenience Plus Pkg
- 5 Piece Floor Mat
- Fog Lamps
- Splash Guards
- 2.5SL Pkg
- Rear Spoiler
- Technology Pkg
Sale Price - $24,952
(Given this is including November rebates that will be expired tomorrow, and also before TT&L)
This is basically the exact car I'm looking for, and so far is the best deal I've seen online. How much lower do you think I can get them to go? -
mazda6dude Posts: 283
henry_n Posts: 33I was not looking for a new car in November, but I am now, and I cannot find a deal anywhere near as good. The best I have found for a 2010 is $18,366 plus TT&L. Sounds like the deals were much better in November? I mean, $17k INCLUDING TT&L is about $2.5k better than what I have seen. So if there is a $1,500 rebate going on now, how much was it in November? $4,000?
edmunds010 Posts: 4
edmunds010 Posts: 418,366 plus TTL for just a 2.5 is totally unacceptable. I feel there is still enough room for the price to go down form what I got. I offered them 17000 OTD and will wait for their response. They still a lot of 2010 Altima in stock and I am in no harry any way. If I cannot get a price close to that I will go for the 2011 Camry or Subaru. They both have good deals now.
henry_n Posts: 33Things are heating up. I pointed the salesperson at this discussion (via email), and the price was lowered to $18,650 OTD. I contacted another Nissan dealer, who said he would beat that price. Then I received another email from Clear Lake Nissan, offering an extra $750 this weekend only. Let me see if I can attach a jpg image here:
Nope, can't do it. -
ashleyw889 Posts: 1
jasay Posts: 6KellyP98! Thank you so much for referring that car service to me! I picked up my new Altima yesterday and I love it! Couldn't believe how easy that process was, they ended up negotiating $200 below invoice for me and all I had to do was pick it up. Tell your mom thanks too! Highly recommend to everyone looking at buying a new car!

stevewags Posts: 1Wondering if you guys think this is a good deal. I live in Ohio.
Leasing a 2010 Altima 2.5 S (standard features) for $251.00/month, $0.00 down and $0.00 security deposit. My numbers are based on a lease price quote of $19,578, Adjusted Cap Cost of 21,343, a residual value of $12,824 (56%) and a money factor of 0.00095.
I got price quotes from 3 different dealerships. Monthly payment went from $275.00 to $261.00 and finally to $251.00. I think I've hit rock bottom on the last offer. -
edmunds010 Posts: 4
henry_n Posts: 33Clear Lake sent me an email, a "mass mailer", last Friday, offering $750 off of the best deal that I had already been offered. Good only for that weekend. I did not go back there, I was busy looking at Accords. It looks like I can get a new Accord for only about $1500 more than the Altima. I think the cars are about equal, but 3 years from now the Honda will be worth $3k to $4k more than the Altima.
ownanaltima Posts: 1I've recently purchased an altima from a nissan dealer here in SC. Its a 2008 3.5 SE, with barely 20k miles on it. I think I paid a lot for that vehicle. Is there anyway I can salvage some incurred losses and maybe save myself a self-beating? This is my first vehicle here in US (I did do a lot of homework and in the end decided that it is altima that I wanted, especially since the time I test drove a couple at carmax). I know that I've been shopping at all the wrong places with all the wrong details, but I'm fairly new to the car world - a rookie.
After I got the vehicle, I stumbled upon this forum. I know it doesnt really sound like a wise move on my part, but i'll be really obliged if I could pursue the correct course of action, and save me some valuable bucks. Hopefully some of you can pitch in and help me out. -
gooddeal2 Posts: 749...I can get a new Accord for only about $1500 more than the Altima. I think the cars are about equal, but 3 years from now the Honda will be worth $3k to $4k more than the Altima.
I highly doubt that you can get 3-4k more than the Altima. When I traded in my 2.5S '07 Altima for the 2.5S '10 Altima last Dec., I got about 13.5K on my '07 base on what people could get a new '10 Altima during that time.
I will be surprise if you can get 16.5-17.5K on a '08 Accord LX now. That's about 2K depreciation in 3 years. -
revrahul Posts: 8This is the deal I am getting on a 2010 leftover 2.5 S (MSRP - 23.4k). Used Amex Zag for the bottom line price. Initially thought it was too good to be true but the dealer agreed.
Invoice - 2700 - 2000 rebate was basically the Zag deal. OTD price - 17.2k + 400 doc fee +350 reg/title + 15.50 tire tax. Got the color Silver color I wanted and also a decent price on the trade-in. Please note that the trade-in was negotiated independently. -
avesta615 Posts: 2Congrats first of all on purchasing your 3.5L Altima. I own the same, I researched my car for almost a year, then one day I ran across the current one I own and I did the deal. I met a dealer that was fair, I compared his price to what was advertised online and it was a fair price. I didn't overpay, I didn't get the cheapest price in town either. Now this dealer calls me every 6 months, checks on me, we purchased a Mazda 3 through him for my girlfriend. Now I'm itching for a Nissan Murano or Infiniti FX. No matter what, purchasing a vehicle is not an investment, its a necessity that will COST YOU MONEY.
techf Posts: 1I purchased a 2008 Altima 2.5S coupe with 20k miles and a 100k bumper-to-bumper warranty for $18k + TTL a month ago. In your opinion, what's the most I should have paid for this? Reading this thread I can tell I could have found a much better deal- I'm just wondering how badly I got burned.
Thanks! -
devil Posts: 9Hi,
Just got a price quote through AMEX (Zag) Car Purchase Program for 2011 Altima 3.5 SR Sedan (I'm in Los Angeles area):
The price is before TTL and $55 doc fee. Manufacturing Adv. fee and Dest. charge are included.
Could you please help? I have 2 questions:
1) Is it a good deal?
2) I assume TTL fees are standard for California and this type of vec.. Are any other fees that I should avoid when signing the deal?
* $500 Customer Bonus Cash
Expires on 01/03/11
* $750 Customer Incentive
Expires on 01/03/11
MSRP as configured: $30,415
Invoice as configured: $27,934
Thank you!

A Providence high school senior named Ben Perry just did us proud by breaking the Guinness world record for marathon cooking. It previously stood at 36 hours. Ben last week went 40.
It got me wondering how often Rhode Island has made it into the Guinness pantheon.
Ron Wallace of Coventry is in there for having grown the world's biggest pumpkin — over two tons. It made its appearance at the Topsfield Fair in Massachusetts in September of 2012. It weighed 2,009 pounds.
We're also in the book for the largest sock. It's 32 feet by 22 feet by 8 feet and was created by the Rhode Island Sewing Network. It's cream and brown.
A Cranston man named Blake Rodgers was briefly in there by inaugurating the record for most high-fives in a 24-hour period. He decided to do it at the Dunkin' Donuts Center in 2008, and logged 3,131. But I'm afraid he was left behind by an Australian who now holds the record at 14,607.
And Rhode Island played a part in another record when a woman named Marina White became the youngest female to finish 100 marathons. She did it at age 26 in October of 2012, at the Amica Marathon in Newport.
We used to have the world's biggest Shore Dinner Hall — at Rocky Point, but they tore that down.
We also once had the record for world's widest bridge. Providence's Crawford Street bridge, which covered the area between downtown and the East Side, was 1,150 feet wide. Alas, it was torn up to bring the river beneath back to life.
It's now home to WaterFire. Which frankly should be in the Guinness Book for something — perhaps world's longest running living sculpture.
Which has me thinking Rhode Island arguably qualifies in many areas. If they're going to have a category for largest sock, they should be open to plenty of other arcane feats.
So today, for their consideration, I'd like to give the Guinness book some categories that deserve inclusion. I can't vouch that all of them are world records, but I'm guessing they'll all prove to be.
Most imbalanced state legislature: Our House of Representatives has 69 Democrats and … 6 Republicans.
Most expensive attempt to buy a license plate: A buyer here offered $25,000 for plate number 7 in 1986.
Most successful performance before a retirement board: In the late 1980s and early 1990s, 80 percent of retiring Providence firefighters went out on full tax-free disability pensions.
Biggest monument to a chicken: There's one in Little Compton that's 6 feet tall.
Most momentous opening of a bus shelter: A new one near La Salle Academy was dedicated in 1983 by the governor, the bishop and the mayor of Providence.
Most cities and towns in a tiny area — Does any place the same size have more than 39?
World's largest bug: At 58 feet long, the "Big Blue Bug" overlooking Route 95 is 928 times bigger than the average termite.
Most doughnut shops: A study really did show there are more of them per capita in the Providence metro area than anywhere else.
Most people who believe a phantom county is real: Officially, there's no such thing as South County. It's Washington County.
Most uses as unit of measurement: When referring to large areas, experts say, "It was the size of Rhode Island," more than any other state. And you don't hear anyone saying how many Floridas fit in Alaska, but you can squeeze in 470 Rhode Islands.
World's most intense legislative fight over an official state drink: Coffee Milk got the nod over Del's.
If you think these are a stretch, I just checked the Guinness site and saw the very latest record:
A man in England got into the book for speed-sitting. He sat in 86 chairs at London's Wembley Stadium in one minute. You're going to tell me that's more worthy than a 58-foot bug?
And now that I think of it — how about outstanding achievement by a state in being small?
Guinness, I look forward to seeing these in your next edition.

I am posting on a new idea now. Maybe ..just maybe some one will see the word "pain" and let me know if they have ever had this lower abdomon pain. I have had it for over 20 days now. The doctors have taken many tests and find nothing. Arthritis showed up on my spine on an x-ray...but my back does not pain. All my constant pain is in my lower abdoman..straight across and real close to my leg joints, but not in my hips. If I stand up straight there is not much pain. If I sit or try to stand up it hurts a lot. Or just bend over. Hope someone has an idea what it could be? Betty in Florida |

Hernia? |
- Posted by Betty_The_Villages (My Page) on Thu, Feb 3, 05 at 17:28
Mona, I was checked for that. It has been rulled out. The doctor stood me up in front of him. and said pull your pants down. He was putting rubber gloves on. (I was so embarrased:-).He had me cough and cough and he pushed in different places. No Hernia. Betty in Florida |
When I had pain, they wanted to check for hernia, gall stones, or whatever could be causing it. In my case, they did an ultrasound and ruled it out. (in my case, I had injured a tendon and they gave me an anti-inflammatory injection into it until it could heal on its own but it felt like gallstones) Have they done anything besides the X-ray and cough test? |
- Posted by Betty_The_Villages (My Page) on Fri, Feb 4, 05 at 13:21
Karen, They did a cat scan too. A few days ago they did a MRI...I have not heard from that as yet. They have rilled out so many things. I am starting to think perhaps it is "Gastroenitis." I see my doctor on Monday...I will ask him if it could be. But, he may have the results of the MRI by then. Thanks! Betty in Florida |
- Posted by Betty_The_Villages (My Page) on Wed, Feb 23, 05 at 20:16
I apoligize for not writing sooner. We have been busy and away for about 2 weeks and in and out of the house. The MRI showed nothing wrong. I went to see my doctor and from all the tests it revealed that it has to be Diverticulitus. I guess that is better than having something worse. So far the pain has not come back. But I do notice I can not get out of a chair as quickly as I did....Betty in Florida |

I, on the other hand, have no fear. This Kardashian chick is disgusting, by far moreso than her other pathetic siblings and, worse, equivalent to her mother. She is actually selling her soul, daily, for the sake of greed and attention and most are sickened by it. Earlier today, after watching a video of Khloe stating that her 'camel toe' in pictures is a GIFT TO US, just about made me puke. No doubt, she's learned it all from her mother. She has a big mouth just like Mama Pimp-ski K, and thinks she's sexy as hell, camel toe or not. Well... I've got news for Ms. Khloe. She looks like a dang BLOWFISH who has no class, no dignity and certainly NO integrity. You are a disgrace to young girls the world over and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Hi All,
I'm a newbie here. Thanks in advance for any advice, and sorry for the long post but it is kind of complicated...
In 2008 I had a mortgage with Flagstar Bank. I sold the home and closed the mortgage, but it was a short sale. Flagstar agreed to the sale and that they would consider the mortgage paid, however they required me to sign a new unsecured agreement to pay them $24,000 interest fee over 10 years. This was an unsecured agreement and their way of trying to recoup some of their loss.
In 2010 I filed for BK and this loan was discharged as part of that BK, however in checking my credit report recently I noticed that this account was still showing a large balance. I disputed that balance, and Flagstar did change it to reflect $0 however they are now showing that the entire mortgage was discharged through bankruptcy. This is not correct and I'm concerned that it will reflect poorly as I try to rebuild my credit and ultimately obtain a new mortgage.
Can anyone give me some guidance on how to handle this?

Why Buy Bottled Water? It's Convenient
June 19, 2009 -- Despite tough economic times, people are still shelling out money for bottled water. Why? The primary motivator is convenience, not perceived health benefits, according to a study conducted in the United Kingdom.
Although most study participants said there were general health benefits to bottled water, they were unsure exactly what these benefits were and considered them negligible.
The study, published in the open access journal BMC Public Health, is based on interviews with 23 users of the Munrow Sports Centre on the University of Birmingham Campus. The interviews took place between January 2008 and March 2008. The majority of participants - 19 - were considered "limited" consumers of bottled waters, which means they drank on average .5 to 3.5 liters per week. Two participants drank more than 10 liters per week, and two said they never drank bottled water.
Despite a vague belief about increased healthfulness, most could not identify the health benefit. The most commonly given reason for purchasing bottled water was convenience. Many participants said they drank tap water at home, but purchased bottled water when they were out and about.
"Interestingly, while the majority of participants expressed the belief that bottled water has health benefits of some kind, paradoxically these same participants also stated that the health benefits of bottled water are negligible or nonexistent," researchers write in the study. "This perhaps reflects confusion in the general public."

This 1964 Saab 96 looks like a decently clean and straight driver, and though we're not sure about the two tone blue over red, the auxiliary driving lights and ASI (Automotoclub Storico Italiano) certification are definite plusses. The car is said to have participated in a 2013 marathon, and it still wears certification decals and number plaques from the event. The interior looks quite complete, but it could stand a bit of tidying underhood. Find it here on Hemmings in Modena, Italy for $16k.
I currently own an original Monte Carlo that was originally a 2 stroke. Previous owner converted it to the v4. Yes, it required a few modifications, but it is quiet and faster than the 2 stroke. Saab did the same conversion in 1966.. Color is the proper Saab red. Awesome car!
@ Jim Rosenthal – The Model 97 is the Sonett II, Sonett V4, and Sonett III. A Model 96 with a V4 is still a 96.
Very nice overall. Very small tires – they look smaller than original
155-15's ? I didn't know there was a 96 B.
?? Actually looks pretty tidy underhood, a little dirty perhaps ? with non-stock carb and exhaust.Also electric cooling fan. Carb and exhaust probably indicate more HP than stock.
OE would have been 4-spd I think. Steering column and shifter are 4-spd style.
Interior is very-very original other than the tach and temp? guage between OE temp and clock.
It is an odd color combo and layout – surprised that the blue doesn't carry down over the trunk. The red looks like it may be the OE color.
Red lenses in the front signal lights seems odd. They would have been clear/white originally.
Anyone know what the red at 50 KPH on speedo might be for ?
Set of plugs in the glove box – either spares in case they get fouled or two sets – hotter to get it started and warmed up and a colder set for hard running. Battery kill hidden in there ?
Convincing demonstration of how livery can change your whole view of a car's shape and proportion. In typical monotone, the 96s looked all of a piece; tight, compact, brief and tidy. Here, with roof emphasized, this one looks somehow larger, longer, less coherent. I vote for the traditional monotone. Looks to be a nice example, certainly has some chops. But the paint — no matter how you feel about it — looks really good. Pretty unmarred for a guy who's been playing in the winter. I'm thinking it's pricey, given the sprucing up it needs and any so-far undisclosed needs. And the import costs and fuss necessary to get it into your garage. But it would be great fun to have it there. I do love me a good 3 x 2.

Manufacturing and exports will increase in the coming quarters and it is feasible that India's overall economy grows to 7 per cent in the next fiscal, industry body Assocham said.
Assocham surveyed a total of 171 Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) from the corporate sector, and found nearly 61 per cent of the CEOs saying that stimulating overall economic growth to 7 per cent is feasible in 2013-14.
In its latest report, Assocham said, "After a subdued Diwali this financial year, India Inc will certainly see a sparkle in the festive season of 2013-14 on the back of manufacturing and exports returning to growth."
A majority of CEOs from different sectors also said that it would take at least another six months for a number of segments of the industry to get their balance sheets repaired, and march further on the path of growth.
They chiefs also predicted that Indian market would receive larger FIIs inflows on the back of increase in domestic demand.
The industry body measured the confidence index in the two weeks ended November 7 across diverse verticals.
Currently, various segments of the economy like banking, civil aviation, power, real estate and infrastructure are facing problems such as increase in non-performing assets. These problems are forcing most of the companies in these sectors to resort to various means to slash their huge debt piles.

A very nice style of building, like a modern castle in my opinion. It´s well worth a look if you are in Vilnius:)
A very nice style of building, like a modern castle in my opinion. It´s well worth a look if you are in Vilnius:)
An elegant building just on the way to university. During my Erasmus in Lithuania I visited it so many times! Perfectly kept and nice to see, I advise to you all to visit it!
The presidential palace is at close distance from the city centre, so it's worth passing by. It has a big square which gives you unlimited opportunities to take pictures!
In this day and age, I have never seen such as unsecured presidential home. You can walk past or even inside the presidential palace without anyone stopping you. In fact, the lack of (seen) security is surprising. The government is even so kind to let everyone know that the president is in residence, by the placement of a flag. It... More

Not really much to see, small palace like building, garden well taken care. Located in the old town.
The presidential palace is next to Vilniaus universitetas. It's in the town center, easy to find.
We walked the streets around the palace area after having visited the University due to being curious as there was some sort of procession taking place and it appeared that important public figures were attending some function at the Presidential Palace. Because of this event it was impossible to enter the Presidential Palace grounds and we had to just enjoy... More
