WOW !!! I called up David Michael Interiors to do a repair that they never did and also gave them my credit card . They charged my card even though they never did the work, they would'nt give me a refund. Then after some pressing, they offered me back half.
I was going to go through the trouble of filing complaints like the others Ive recently seen, but after some consideration, I just called my Credit Card company and explained what was going on.
Thankfully they assured me that I would not be charged and they would not get my money.
I wish I would have looked at some of the reviews before giving them my CC information. Now I beleive that this is not a company you can trust.
AFter some back and forth I decided it wasn't worth my time, but now I see that I am not the only one they tried to do this to. So I might as well post my review too.
Thats' not a good way to do business. Even if they do quality work , which they may, can they be trusted???
For anyone considering doing business with this company, I would say, don't give them cash or check, because they will never give that back and if you do give them a credit card authorization, be sure to have a good relationship with your bank.
Then if they do to you what they tried to do to me, at least you'll get your money back.
Home improvement is hard enough when your dealing with honest people.
I know I wouldn't use them again.
Good luck to all and be careful before you give any personal information to anyone.
Here's a synopsis of how the unsuccesful refund attempts went and possibly what you may experience when dealing with them. The phone converstions were even worse...What a shame...
Please pass this along to David.
When I called in for an "estimate" I was told that 544.33 would cover it. I said " I was told there was more damage, how could you be sure of the estimate.?" The response was ,"the other companies are crooks."
I then was emailed a credit card authorization form, which in good faith I signed to be charged upon completion of the job. After someone finally went to the space, I was told the price would be higher and you were not sure how much.
Nevertheless, I am not going to be repairing those drapes, and I find my card was charged and NOW I am told, "well, we have to see how much time we have into this"that you will refund me " some " money.
This is an unacceptable response.
The price was for the job, not for an estimate and you know this. The two other companies did not charge me for an estimate and I never would have agreed to be charged for an estimate. Who is acting like a "crook" now?
I am the WRONG GUY to do this to!!!
I can assure you, you will not be stealing one penny from me. Be advised If you do not refund the entire balance, I will deny the charge AND
I will file complaints with :
NYC Dept. of Consumer Affairs
42 Broadway
The Consumer Response Center
Federal Trade Commission
Washington, DC 20580
NY State Attorney General's Office
Consumer Fraud and Protection Burea
120 Broadway
New York, NY 10271
I will also file a complaint and be certain to post my reviews of my dealings with your company with Homeadvisor.com from who I was referred your number.
Not to mention I will also file with the RIPOFF REPORT a detailed narrative of my dealings with you so that this does not happen to anyone else.
So don't be penny wise and dollar foolish. My advice is , you amicably refund me every penny of the charges you put on my card, adhere to higher ethical business practices and go along your merry way.
Please advise by days end.
Dear John,
When you originally contracted us to do the repair we were told that the drapes just needed to be re-hung back on the track. You mentioned that the drapery had come off of the drapery rod. We sent our installer as promised and upon inspection we discovered that not only were the drapery off the track but they were ripped and that the track was missing carriers and the track would need to be replaced. This of course turns out to be a much larger project. We did research, tried several times to contact the original fabricator of the drapery but were not able to get any answers.
We understand that you no longer want us to continue with this project and apologize that we were unable to help you see this through.
David would be happy to refund you half of the $500 . The $250 will cover our installers time and office time invested in this project. In order for David to refund you the $250 please sign this email acknowledging that this is OK with you can either email or fax it back to us. The minute we receive the ok we will refund you the $250 and send you a copy of the refund.
We wish you the best of luck in your resolution of this repair.
Best Regards,
Roberta Levine

I appreciate you responding, but that is unacceptable. I've already voiced my side of the story in my prior email, which is why I asked for an "estimate". You were the one that I spoke with and you know as well as I do exactly how the conversation went. Since you do not have the authorization to refund my money, I will leave you out of it.
At no time did I expect that my credit card would be charged without having the job completed. I respectfully request that David authorize the refund of the ENTIRE amount, maintain his reputation and we part our separate ways. Ask David if the $250 is really worth his reputation.
I am not bluffing, I am not spending any more time on this, and he should note that him and I live in the same small town and its good to keep amicable relationships with neighbors. However, I feel that I have been taken advantage of and I will move forward as previously mentioned to voice my complaint to the aforementioned agencies if I do not receive a full refund, or written verification of it by email by 12:00 noon tomorrow.
Please advise, JP
He will not be smiling if I am not smiling by noon tomorrow. Also please note, I have a plethora of attorneys at my disposal and would rather spend $5000 on them then be taken for 250 by you...its about the principal.
Eagerly awaiting your response,
Ok David,
You win. I'm going to take the high road here and just part amicably...you will not collect the charge though, that's enough for me.
However, if you would like to talk this out like a man, I'd be more than happy to meet you face to face.
Anyway, good luck in your future endeavors.

text: I have just read another "pit bull" letter, written by someone with a very callous disregard for animal life. It is sad for me to realize there are people living in our community with that mindset. Pit bulls and pit bull mixes have been around for many years, and have included many of our most beloved and famous dogs. They are without a doubt, the most affectionate, intelligent, faithful and sweetest breeds in dogdom. I am speaking from long personal experience. We have had pit bull mixes in our family for over 50 years, and have always been proud of them. Any breed, under certain circumstances, will adopt a "pack mentality." Owners of all breeds must be responsible. Lately, pit bulls have become scapegoats for owners who should probably not even be dog owners. Obviously, the owner of the four dogs involved in the recent incident had no business having four large dogs behind a faulty fence in a downtown area. Again, why must the dogs always pay for the owner's negligence? Jan Carolan, Applegate

The People of Sparks picks up where The City of Ember leaves off. Lina and Doon have emerged from the underground city to the exciting new world above, and it isn't long before they are followed by the other inhabitants of Ember. The Emberites soon come across a town where they are welcomed, fed, and given places to sleep. But the town's resources are limited and it isn't long before resentment begins to grow between the two groups. When anonymous acts of vandalism push them toward violence, it's up to Lina and Doon to discover who's behind the vandalism and why, before it's too late.From the Hardcover edition.
Jeanne DuPrau has been a teacher, an editor, and a technical writer. The People of Sparks is the sequel to The City of Ember and her second novel. She lives in Menlo Park, CA, where she keeps a big garden and a small dog.From the Hardcover edition.

AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will research technical and commercial feasibility of heterogenized homogeneous (supported) palladium N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysts. Homogeneous palladium-catalyzed reactions are powerful methods for carbon-carbon and carbon-hetero atom bond formations, such as Heck and Suzuki reactions. However, their commercial adoption in fine chemical manufacture has been burdened by the inefficiencies associated with homogeneous catalysts, primarily recovery and recycling, which could be eliminated by the development of supported catalysts. Successful research and development would result in commercial products that would simplify post-reaction processing, reduced waste streams and reduction in costs via recycling.

All her life, Lia Kane has dreamed of being a fiction writer. A chronic overachiever, Lia spent way too much time in college and graduate school and used up all of her creativity on writing term papers and silly stuff like that. After graduating with two masters degrees and a mountain of student loan debt that she'll be paying off for the rest of her life, Lia worked for 15 years in a demanding 9 to 5 job that required a great deal of technical and professional writing, leaving little time for leisure writing. In the height of the economic recession, her position was cut at work. She took it as an invitation from the universe to stay home and write fiction.
Which is exactly what she's doing now from her home in coastal North Carolina, and is loving every minute of it.
Lia thanks you for stopping by her blog. She would love to hear from you.
Review by:
Books4Tomorrow Reviews
on Nov. 13, 2011 :
In "A Sucker Born Every Minute", author Lia Kane gives us a refreshing new variation on the vampire theme.
Despite becoming VAM-positive as a result of being drugged and infected while in her freshman year, Jerrika, the main character, stays a kind, caring and loyal person, who is always ready to defend those who share her affliction, from attacks by hostile people.
As the VAM virus can be passed on by something as simple as a passionate kiss, infected people are not allowed to indulge in intimate relationships. To complicate matters for Jerrika, the handsome Mayor, as well as the equally handsome doctor, enters her life when she starts her job at the orphanage for VAM-positive children in Blue Sky. Both men seem almost too good to be true.
You'll smile at the antics of the VAM-positive orphans and enjoy meeting their unusual caretakers. This book hooked me from the very beginning. It reads at a comfortable pace, with never a dull moment. The characters are realistic and life like; and the dialogue highly perky and entertaining.
Although there are several suspects when bad things start to happen, Lia keeps the reader guessing right up to the end. Moments of suspense, sadness and fear are masterfully balanced by a good measure of humor.
"A Sucker Born Every Minute" is a truly heartwarming read. With this book I sense the birth of an absolutely awesome new series!

Frisco House 270 is a private retreat offering easy access to all that Summit County has to offer, while surrounding you with all the creature comforts of home. Its premiere location, just two blocks from Main Street and smack-dab in the center of some of the world's best ski resorts and mountain fun, makes this home a vacation favorite. Park your car for the duration, and use the convenient shuttle that takes you, and your gear, to all the surrounding ski areas and local places of interest.
Enjoy time with family in the large, open, inviting main floor. Kitchen, dining and great room provide plenty of room for the gang, and they all work together to ensure that no one is left out of the action. Large screen TV, games/puzzles, game table and work station with wi-fi add possibilities to your vacation fun.
When you've had enough activity, retreat to the spacious master suite, located on the main floor, which includes a king-size bed, TV, walk-in closet and a private bath with a jetted tub.
Downstairs, you'll find another family room equipped with piano, games, toys, video gaming systems and tv/dvd player. It's a great place for the kids to hang out when the adults enjoy time together upstairs. The couch conceals a hideabed, and two beautifully decorated bedrooms equipped with King-sized beds are also downstairs.
A full size washer and dryer are available in the utility room.
Frisco is strategically located in the heart of Summit County and it's a short drive to many major ski resorts. The town itself is small and friendly, and has a lot of activities going on throughout the year to enjoy. Great hiking, biking, fishing, factory outlet stores, Nordic trails, and boating are among a few of the activities available to the you. Summit County is truly a recreational hotspot and everyone in your group will find some activity to enjoy in this amazing mountain playground.
This special place will become a family favorite that you'll want to return to year after year.
This is our family's annual trip and we absolutely LOVE staying at this house. It has everything we could ever need, full kitchen supplies for cooking and dining, laundry, luxury linens and furniture, 2 TVs (one up and one downstairs) with Xfinity cable, and the beds are incredibly nice and comfortable. We were able to stay connected via internet and get work done as well. It is great to enjoy the many games and puzzles they keep here for both kids and adults. Love that it os a short walk (only a couple minutes) to the playground, lake to fish or boat, or main street. One of the best VRBO places and location that we've stayed at.
We stayed recently for 4th of July and loved this place. Great location, easy walk to all the great shops and restaurants and a short drive to the grocery store. We had extended family along with 4 kids so it was great to have the king size beds for all the adults. House is well equipped with bikes that our kids rode every day, fishing poles as well (and we caught some trout). A nice downstairs area for the kids to play while adults enjoyed the upstairs living room. Will definitely stay here again!
This is the second time we stayed at this home. The location is fantastic. Walking distance to Main Steet and Lake Dillon. Bike trails easily accessible. Close to popular ski resorts. We love how each bedroom has a king size bed. The house is clean, cozy and stocked with plenty of books and games. The owner is very friendly and helpful. We will definitely recommend this home to others. The only minor complaint we have is the bathrooms could be updated.
We had a really nice stay at this house. It was clean, comfortable and roomy. The basement area was perfect for kids. The kitchen was well appointed and well labeled. The location was great with less than a five minute walk to Main Street. We frequently stay in Summit County,and I would definitely hope to rent this property again.
Great location in quiet neighborhood near river. Easy walking access to downtown Frisco, park, Dillon reservoir, bus service and tennis courts. There are many walking/biking trails nearby and Frisco is centrally located to many ski areas. The house was spotless, the beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed for a great vacation! Would definitely stay here again!

IBM Could Push Dow Upward
TheStreet) -- IBM's (IBM - Get Report) success in avoiding the worst of the recession is going to reap benefits for the broader stock market, according to analyst firm Auerbach Grayson. The tech bellwether, which recently reconfirmed its 2009 and 2010 profit forecast, forced its margins up during the downturn, despite falling revenue and an uncertain spending climate. The company's stock has also risen more than 44% this year as investors warm to the company's aggressive control expenses and margin expansion.Auerbach Grayson analyst Richard Ross says that IBM's shares, which currently trade around $121, will continue their upward trajectory. "IBM is quietly in a very strong technical position which has the stock on the verge of a potentially explosive breakout," he wrote, in a note released Wednesday. "A move above $120.88 could propel the shares to a test of the old high around $131 at a minimum." The Armonk, N.Y.-based firm's strong presence on the Dow could also impact the wider stock market, according to Ross. With its 9.3% weighting equal to that of GE (GE - Get Report), Pfizer (PFE - Get Report), Bank of America (BAC - Get Report), Intel (INTC - Get Report), Cisco (CSCO - Get Report) and Microsoft (MSFT - Get Report), IBM could drag the Dow up on its own. "The math alone is enough to drive the market higher (not that it needs any help)," wrote Ross. "IBM is well positioned as the global economic recovery unfolds and the growth story resumes in earnest." In its recent second-quarter results, IBM boosted its pre-tax margin by four points, its biggest margin improvement since it sold off its PC business to Lenovo in 2005. Despite seeing revenue dip 3% year-over-year, the firm also expanded its gross margin by two points.ARMONK, N.Y. (

1999-2003 Ford F250 Super Duty Clutch Kit - LUK 07-172
Product Description
This LUK Clutch Kit can be used on Ford F250 Super Duties of model years '99, '00, '01, '02 and '03. In cars using an automatic transmission, a Clutch Kit is incorporated directly into your transmission system, but manual transmissions require the car owner to operate a clutch by themselves, normally through a pedal close to the brake pedal. A functional Clutch Kit helps the driver switch gears by utilizing the engine's flywheel and a clutch plate; as the clutch is depressed, the components become disjointed, disengaging the vehicle's motor from the drive train which allows the engine to run free. Ford F250 Super Duties from 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 will work with this part. Other cars or trucks are unlikely to be compatible, and this element is not intended to be installed on those models.
<3 you guys! Awesome service and affordable parts. My Toyota has never looked better :)

Carlos Silva, 2006
Random Memory Day:
Once upon a time, in a blogosphere far far away, Aaron Gleeman wrote that Carlos Silva's ERA of 5.94 was the worst by any AL pitcher with at least 180 IP since 1969. (No, I don't remember quite when Gleeman wrote it; and I sure as heck ain't gonna check his site looking for it, either).
For no good reason, this quote stuck with me - was it true? Why make 180 IP his benchmark (aside from the fact that Silva tossed 180.3 IP that is). More strangely, why use 1969 as a benchmark? I mean, 1963-8 was the new deadball era, so the worst score from 1969-onward should also be the worst score for an even longer time back.
Five minutes ago I realized the PI could solve the riddles for me. Turns out, it is true. (I'd love to do this as save'n'share it, but for some reason that function won't work for me at the moment):
1 Jose Lima 6.65
2 Darryl Kile 6.61
3 Eric Milton 6.47
4 Pedro Astacio 6.23
5 Brian Bohanon 6.20
6 Jason Marquis 6.02
7 Carlos Silva 5.94
A couple guys had worse years, but they were all in the NL.
If you drop it down just 5 innings, he wasn't as bad as fellow Twin LaTroy Hawkins in 1999 (6.62 ERA) or Chris Carpenter (6.26 ERA) in 2000.
But who was the last AL pitcher to have an ERA higher than 5.94 in 180 or more innings?
Silva's the worst since expansion by those standards.
He's the worst since integration by those standards.
But, if you go back to 1939, you'll see Nels Potter of the Philadelphia A's under Connie Mack scoring a 6.60 ERA in 196.3 IP. That's nothing. In 1936 Jack Knott had a 7.29 with the Browns.
Silva's is the seventh highest ERA in AL history by those standards, also trailing Sloppy Thurston's 1925, Pat Caraway's 1931, Jim Walkup's 1935, and Earl Caldwell's 1936. Caldwell was Knott's teammate. Some rotation, eh?

Silva's ERA+ that year was 75. How does that rank? It is too bad that baseball-reference doesn't include WORST averages in the leaders area - like worst ERA+ with 162 IP, or worst BA with 3000 BA.
Johnny Twisto Says:
September 27th, 2007 at 10:21 pm
Why would all the worst be NL guys? Well, 3 of them pitched in Colorado. The funny thing is, in Astacio's two seasons after his 6.23, he put up ERAs over 5.00, but his ERA+ was over 100.

[NPD] Two pedals a day keep the doctor away!
Or close. Especially if that doctor is a Dr. Boogey:
The Dr. Boogey DIY distortion pedal is a project that i started a few months back with the help of a couple of friends (thanks, Marco and Daniel).
It's based on the gaussmarkov layout.
It's finally ready, and it sounds AWESOME. It delivers a powerful distortion, extremely tweakable thanks to the 3-band EQ and "Presence" knob, and it's not noisy at all. What a great distortion pedal. I think it blows most high-gain distortion pedals out of the water, and gives the others a run for their money.
It's not an easy DIY for beginners, but it's definitely worth making IMHO.
Here's the build thread, in case you want to check out its development process, trials and tribulations, and lots of more pictures, including gutshots:
Also, i returned home to find that the mailman delivered a mysterious package from China...
What could it be?
Nice! A Mooer Audio ShimVerb!
Very securely packaged...
It came with an instruction sheet and a "Mooer" sticker.
I bought it online at ********. It retails for $88.00, but a friend told me a promotional code... So i grabbed it for $44.00 with free shipping, which is 34 uros here, a steal!
I got very lucky, and it only took 8 days to get from China to my doorstep, in Portugal, by regular mail.
For starters, it looks great. Period.
It's not that kind of "made-in-China-junk" that we were used to, it actually feels well built, solid and reliable.
It has a small metal enclosure, with a very nice matte grey finish. Industry-standard switches and knobs, true bypass. And the blue LED is a cool detail.
I haven't opened the bottom lid yet, but i may post gutshots later if anyone wants me to.
Soundwise, it's a pretty nice reverb.
It's as straightforward as it gets; the "Level" knob controls the mix between the dry (guitar) and wet (reverb) signals, the "Color" knob acts much like you would expect from an ordinary tone knob, and the "Decay" knob controls the reverb decay time. Simple and effective.
The "Room" setting is the most useful IMO, since it can range from a very subtle reverb to a huge, cathedral-like, haunting echo. Definitely usable for "everyday reverb applications", if you know what i mean.
The "Spring" setting sounds good, but i can't comment on its accuracy as an emulation of an actual analog spring reverb, because i don't have enough experience with spring reverbs to make a comparison.
But the "Shimmer" setting is where the real fun starts.
Now, i've read many people online complaining that the ShimVerb adds a 5th instead of a full octave like other pedals with "shimmer" settings out there, and that it's garbage because of it. That's nonsense.
Does it mean that it's not as usable as those "shimmer" settings? Yes.
Does it mean that it's not usable at all? Hell no.
It just means that you can't use it for everything. It adds a certain dissonant ambient to what you're playing, and when used correctly, that atmosphere can work beautifully.
I especially like playing fast 2 to 5 note arpeggios with a long decay time, so that it kind of starts self-oscillating. Über-awesome. :liplick:
I'm very happy with these two new additions to my pedalboard. Definitely worth the time and money spent!
We need some clips!
HNPD! Like sheldonpardy said, get some sound clips up!
very nice :)
Okay, i'll try to record a couple of clips this weekend. :cheers:
that dr boogey looks amazing. :cheers:
Thank you very much! :cheers: I'm glad that you say that, a lot of time and effort were put into making it. But i had a blast creating this visual design!
yeah that boogie design does look awesome
I actually went 'ooooh' when I saw that Mesa pedal. I thought it was a genuine Mesa Pedal. That thing looks fantastic!
Incredible build thread too. How much to make me one? :haha:
GIEF that boogie! Do want!!
+1 i did a double take when i saw it
+1! Same here. That pedal looks outstanding and both produced me some GAS man, CLIPS PLZ!
Thank you everyone. Your feedback got me convinced i made the right aesthetical options. :cheers:
But the fact is, you can't go wrong with black & chrome. :haha:
Are you guys serious?
If you are, i could check with my friends and we could do the math about how much it would cost to build a few more Dr. Boogeys for sale...
I'm actually a little bit tempted, but some clips would be cool :cheers:
Even if nobody here buys into them, you could find a few people who would be interested.
HNPD! you should definitely post clips of the Dr boogie, Im tempted to see what it would cost to get one shipped to america if the site even offers it
I'll try to record something this next Sunday, i don't have much free time until then. :p:
I didn't bought the Dr. Boogey on a site, i built it for myself with a couple of friends. ;)
You can see the building and development of my Dr. Boogey here: link
I ment buying the kit, i saw that thread too though, sweet graphic by the way

Terex GmbH
|Terex GmbH Patent applications
|Patent application number
|WEAR ELEMENT, AND COMPONENT PROVIDED THEREWITH - A wear element for component subject to abrasive influences, for example in a region of a receiving element for bulk material, includes an element formed by a one-piece, approximately plate-shape molded body made of a wear resistant alloy. The molded body is configured not to be planar in any plane. The molded body has an approximately rectangular cross-section and includes longitudinal sides and lateral sides that are rounded sections flowing into each other.
|CHAIN TENSIONING DEVICE - A device for tensioning chains on crawler-type or tracked vehicles, in particular the chains of hydraulic excavators, comprises a first cylinder arranged in an area of the chassis for the tracked vehicle, and operatively connected via a piston rod to a guide wheel to tension the chain. A second cylinder forms a spring cylinder and is operatively connected to the first cylinder. The second cylinder concentrically encloses the first cylinder to form a double cylinder and each cylinder is provided with a separate hydraulic connection. At startup of the tracked vehicle, the hydraulic connections of the double cylinder are admitted with a specifiable pre-tensioning pressure. The spring cylinder can be moved with maximum spring travel to its end position because of its larger cross-sectional surface, and the tensioning cylinder pre-tensions the chain with a force that corresponds to the pre-tensioning pressure.

About Greyhounds as pets
Many greyhounds become available for adoption each year, however not enough people are interested in having them as pets purely because they do not understand that the greyhound is a very warm, affectionate and loyal companion animal.
The greyhound by law is required to wear a muzzle when in a public place. Due to this they are often perceived as being hostile - this couldn't be further from the truth. The greyhound is actually a non-aggressive animal with a very gentle disposition.
Through a more positive reputation, the Greyhounds As Pets Adoption Program hopes to increase and improve the public's awareness and desire to care for these animals in a loving family environment once their racing careers have finished.
All greyhounds in the program are sterilized, wormed, vaccinated and microchipped. An adoption fee exists only to cover the costs of the associated veterinary expenses.
Most importantly a greyhound will give you as much, if not more affection than it receives.
USA and UK and have also been running very successfully in Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. Greyhounds As Pets is a member body of the Greyhound Adoption Program Australasia.
With the support of those dedicated to the welfare of animals, GAP can improve the image of these sleek, athletic dogs and find loving homes that will bring happiness to both the owners and pets.

Red Sox 7, Rangers 0
BOSTON (AP)—Johnny Damon and the Boston Red Sox aren't ready to concede the AL East title just yet.
Damon went 4-for-5 with two homers and four RBIs, Bronson Arroyo allowed three hits in eight innings for his first win since May 15 and Boston beat the Texas Rangers 7-0 Friday night.
The Red Sox won their fourth straight, their longest streak since winning five in a row May 21-26. After falling 8 1/2 games behind the first-place New York Yankees last week, Boston has cut the deficit to six.
"I wish I knew what I was doing so I could bottle it up and keep it going," Damon said. "We feel like we can still win the East and don't like to be written off."
Damon, who extended his hitting streak to 14 games with a first-inning single, led off the fifth with his eighth home run to put Boston ahead 2-0. He followed with a two-out double in the sixth that drove in a pair of runs and made it 5-0.
Damon homered into the Rangers' bullpen in the eighth and finished a triple shy of the cycle. He's batted .447 during his hitting streak, the longest by a Red Sox player this season.
With Boston ahead 2-0, Nomar Garciaparra led off the sixth with a single, and Texas starter Joaquin Benoit walked Trot Nixon and hit Kevin Millar with a pitch to load the bases.
Bill Mueller's sacrifice fly made it 3-0, and Damon's double off reliever Ron Mahay drove home Nixon and Millar.
Nixon gave the Red Sox a 6-0 lead with an RBI single in the seventh.
Arroyo (3-7) matched his season high with seven strikeouts and allowed just one hit after the first inning, lowering his ERA from 4.50 to 4.09 while earning his first career win at Fenway Park.
Considering the recent struggles of Derek Lowe and a dearth of quality starters on the trade market, Boston's best hope for a boost for their rotation remains Arroyo, who had dropped six straight decisions but has a 2.44 ERA in his last six starts.
"We can let (Arroyo) hide in the weeds. That's what our horses are for in the front of the rotation," catcher Jason Varitek said.
Curtis Leskanic pitched a perfect ninth to finish Boston's eighth shutout of the season. The Rangers were blanked for the fourth time.
In the first inning, Damon scored on a sacrifice fly by Manny Ramirez.
Texas also had its share of misfortune. The Rangers lined into three double plays, two of which were turned by Millar.
"It was one of those nights. Things weren't going our way, and Bronson seemed like he wasn't going to make a mistake," Texas' Rod Barajas said. "He pitched a heck of a game, one of the best that's been pitched against us."
Garciaparra went 3-for-4 with three singles and is 14-for-30 in his last seven games.
Benoit (3-4) allowed five runs and eight hits in 5 2-3 innings.
"His command was off. He missed his locations a lot, and he paid theprice," Rangers manager Buck Showalter said.
Red Sox DH Ellis Burks had a second surgery on his troublesome right knee Friday, as doctors performed a meniscus cleanup to try to clear out loose tissue. Burks is expected to be sidelined at least six to eight more weeks. … The Rangers haven't won the season series against Boston since 1999. … Texas'streak of nine straight games with a home run was snapped.

They are actually in the 6th cycle of women entrepreneur program of this Paraguayan foundation. Maria is one of the members of the group and she works in sewing. Through this work she has been able to provide for her family and give them a dignified life, deprived of nothing. She always has a lot of work and receives many orders, which is why she is requesting the loan: to buy fabric, thread, buttons and other supplies.

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

8 Low-Beta Stocks for a Market Correction
(TSN - Get Report) is a meat protein and food production company. It produces, distributes and markets chicken, beef, pork, prepared foods and allied products. Tyson structures its operations into four segments: chicken, beef, pork, and prepared foods. The stock has a beta of 0.70For its latest second quarter, earnings remained flat at $159 million, or 42 cents per share, compared to the prior year's second quarter. Revenue for the period soared 15.7% to $8 billion from $6.9 billion as total volumes increased 3% and average sales price rose 12.3%. "We produced record sales for the second quarter on substantially higher sales prices in addition to increased volume. All segments except Chicken were within or above their normalized operating margin ranges. While Chicken was well below its normalized range, it was profitable, and we believe it will continue to be profitable in the third and fourth quarters. Our Beef segment remains solid, and our Pork segment continues to produce outstanding returns. Prepared Foods is moving in the right direction, and we've got more work to do in this segment," said Donnie Smith, Tyson Foods' president and COO. The company forecasts 2011 sales to exceed $32 billion, driven by price increases associated with rising raw material costs. Capital expenditure is estimated at approximately $700 million. Of the 17 analysts covering the stock, 59% recommend a buy, while 35% rate it a hold. On average, analysts estimate an upside of 15.2% to $21.77 from current levels. >>To see these stocks in action, visit the 8 Low-Beta Stocks for a Market Correction portfolio on Stockpickr.1.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Guard Raja Bell says his career with the Utah Jazz is over, calling the damage "irreparable" and saying coach Tyrone Corbin was "unprofessional" because of a lack of communication.
The 35-year-old Bell has one more year left on his contract but was hopeful the team would work out an offseason trade.
Bell opened the year as Utah's starting shooting guard but saw his playing time diminish. In March, he was sent home from a road trip after a verbal spat with Corbin.
Bell did not play in Utah's first-round Western Conference series, which San Antonio swept.
The 12th-year pro averaged 6.4 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 34 games during the regular season but missed 27 games because of injury.
Corbin declined to discuss the rift.

2012 Editors' Choice: Short-Travel Trail 26-Inch
Giant Trance X Advanced 2
3 / 5
Giant's Maestro multi-link suspension remains the most underrated suspension design on the market. The Trance X scooted up steep climbs with little bob and shined on the descents, where it felt both snappy and stable—not an easy task. Our only complaint: The relatively tall head tube put riders in a more upright position, reducing control in slow-speed technical corners.

How many food faces do you see? And, seriously, are those dirty golf balls supposed to be potatoes?
Since the early days of frozen TV dinners, families across the country have packed their freezers, and subsequently their bellies, full of pre-assembled, single-serving meals packed with preservatives and calories. Working parents, college students, and single professionals breathed sighs of relief when the most taxing part of dinner was preheating the oven or pressing START on the microwave. Over the years, tons of new options have come onto the market that are healthier for your body, but that's no fun! Let's uncover some of the fattiest, most calorically dense plastic and tin plates still up for grabs.
How many food faces do you see? And, seriously, are those dirty golf balls supposed to be potatoes?
This may be close to getting a Thanksgiving dinner in under 20 minutes, but who is honestly willing to blow 1,360 calories on crusty, dry mashed potatoes, fake gravy, and a few slabs of turkey? And is it really fair to call it roasted? How can one be certain it was actually roasted, and not microwaved the first time? The only things in this box that are XXL are the portion size and calories.

Hungry Man Sports Grill Jumbo Popcorn Chicken With Pizza Sticks & Dipping Sauce
Exactly what it sounds like, this fun plate is a smorgasbord of junk you would find at your local TGI-Apple-Factory. What do deep-fried popcorn chicken, greasy pizza sticks, and oily dipping sauce have in common? They all contribute to heart burn and cottage-cheese butt.

Hungry Man Beer Battered Chicken
Beer-battered barf it up later, much? Between the fat-cut potato wedges, gelatinous cheese sauce, and battered chicken nuggets, this frozen fiasco is just waiting to come back up on you later. Hopefully one time is enough with this beast, because at 820 calories (and not a vegetable in sight), this isn't even on the same planet as a balanced meal.

Hungry Man Boneless Pork Frozen Dinner
When your point of pride on the front of the box is that there's over a POUND of food, you've pretty much limited your demographic to the drunk and the frat boys. How does pork actually get turned into "rib shaped patties"? If you don't know, then you might not want to indulge here. Those faux ribs are doused in barbecue sauce with mashed potatoes, corn, & a brownie. Wow. Where do we sign?

Marie Callender's Sweet & Sour Chicken
It's pretty obvious that this is by far the healthiest of our options to date, and that you could do without the rice and batter on the chicken that's generating the most calories in the dish. However, that basically leaves you with microwaved vegetables and flavorless chicken, soooo, no thanks. Keep the rice and battered chicken and definitely leave the sauce. The sauce serves as the last bastion of hope for this boring, not-so-healthy plate of carbs.

Marie Callender's Beef Stroganoff
Hands down, the grossest thing about beef Stroganoff as a kid were the slippery egg noodles that were reminiscent of what came out of your nose when you laughed too hard at the dinner table. The beef was usually tough, and what the heck was in that brown sauce? If that memory didn't stop you from throwing this in your cart, then maybe the hefty calorie load will?

Stouffers White Meat Chicken Pot Pie
The pot pies your mom put out for dinner for you on those nights they played cribbage at the Johnsons' were skimpy, dry, and watery. The Stouffers version is large and in charge in a gluteny, chicken-filled, buttery-crust kind of way. Totally different in a good way, and worse for you than that cardboard crust you remember. At least they made an attempt to throw some peas, carrots, celery, and onions in there . . . no matter that they're drowning in a creamy gravy bath of cardiac-arresting proportions.

Highest Appreciating Marysville Neighborhoods Since 1990
With a population of 9,793, 4,160 total housing units (homes and apartments), and a median house value of $158,316, Marysville real estate and house prices are near the national average for all cities and towns.
Single-family detached homes are the single most common housing type in Marysville, accounting for 67.50% of the city's housing units. Other types of housing that are prevalent in Marysville include large apartment complexes or high rise apartments (13.00%), row houses and other attached homes (7.02%), and a few mobile homes or trailers (7.00%).
Owner-occupied, three and four bedroom dwellings, primarily in single-family detached homes are the most prevalent type of housing you will see in Marysville. Owner-occupied housing accounts for 79.91% of Marysville's homes, and 60.20% have either three or four bedrooms, which is average sized relative to America.
There is a lot of housing in Marysville built from 1970 to 1999 so parts of town may have that "Brady Bunch" look of homes popular in the '70s and early '80s, although some of these houses were built up through the early '90s as well. There is also a lot of housing in Marysville built between 1940-1969 (27.35%). A lesser amount of the housing stock also hails from between 2000 and later (10.50%). There's also some housing in Marysville built before 1939 (6.47%).
Real estate appreciation rates in Marysville's have tracked to near the national average over the last then years, with the annual appreciation rate averaging 0.69% during the period.
Appreciation rates are so strong in Marysville that despite a nationwide downturn in the housing market, Marysville real estate has continued to appreciate in value faster than most communities. Looking at just the latest twelve months, Marysville appreciation rates continue to be some of the highest in America, at 8.65%, which is higher than appreciation rates in 82.48% of the cities and towns in the nation. Based on the last twelve months, short-term real estate investors have found good fortune in Marysville. Marysville appreciation rates in the latest quarter were at 3.09%, which equates to an annual appreciation rate of 12.95%.
Importantly, this makes Marysville one of the highest appreciating communities in the nation for the latest quarter, and may signal the city's near-future real estate investment strength.
Relative to Michigan, our data show that Marysville's latest annual appreciation rate is higher than 80% of the other cities and towns in Michigan.

In Prague, A Fresh Start For Tim Thomas
|10.10.10 at 1:37 pm ET
PRAGUE ' In the Czech Republic's capital city, Tim Thomas got a fresh start to the young season.
Coming off a lackluster 2009-2010 campaign, not to mention off-season hip surgery, the 36-year-old Bruins goalie put on an impressive show against Phoenix on Sunday as he stopped every puck that came his way and earned his first victory of the year.
Amid the howls of Coyotes fans and the growls of the Bruins faithful clad in black and gold, Thomas made the job look seemingly effortless ' and for nearly the entire game, it was. The Bruins defense, led by Captain Zdeno Chara, kept the pressure off Thomas and redeemed itself after allowing five goals the night before. For their part, Phoenix had just 29 shots on Thomas the entire game and worse, no goals to show for it.
Thomas could be seen lounging in the crease for much of the first two periods while most of the action was taking place across the ice. He almost looked bored, his arm resting up against the goal as his teammates took shots at Coyotes goalie Ilya Bryzgalov. Thomas said it wasn't a symptom of boredom, but rather a symptom of his age.
"I'm 36," Thomas said after the game. "That's going to happen all the time."
In May, the Bruins goalie underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left hip. That, after a season in which he went 17-18 and 23-year-old hotshot Tuukka Rask seemed to garner all the praise in Boston.
It explains why Thomas was so nervous before Sunday's game in Prague. But all things considered, it also explains why the victory felt so good.
"It's been a long road, but it feels great to get a shutout right off the bat," he said.
Tim Thomas, Nathan Horton lead Bruins in shutout win
|10.10.10 at 12:34 pm ET
PRAGUE — The newcomers made most of the offensive noise, but it was an old face in Tim Thomas who was the story as the Bruins picked up their first win of the season, a 3-0 shutout over the Coyotes at the O2 Arena in Prague.
A night after Tuukka Rask looked impressive despite allowing four goals, Thomas got the start and recorded his 18th career shutout. Additionally, the defense looked far more responsible in shutting down any of Phoenix' offensive attempts throughout the night.
Former third overall pick Nathan Horton picked up two more points in the game, including his third goal of the season. Rookie Tyler Seguin took a pass from Michael Ryder in the third period and converted it into a breakaway goal, the first of his NHL career.
– Nathan Horton's first two games with the Bruins could not have gone better. After getting the primary assist on Lucic's goal and potting one of his own from the slot in the second period, he has now been on the scoring sheet for four of the Bruins' five goals this season.
Bruins fans shouldn't get too carried away — Horton's scored 30 goals in his six-year career just once — but it could be time for this writer to rethink the 33-goals he predicted for the 25-year-old. Motivation was a question for Horton while he played for the Panthers, and both he, his teammates, and management have spotted a rejuvenated player in him. It's pretty clear at this point that the Bruins won't need Tyler Seguin to overachieve in order to have a top pick light up the stat sheet.
Horton said prior to the game that he and his linemates continue to get more comfortable with one another with each practice and each game, but the three of them have looked terrific to this point. The dynamic between he and Lucic is something to keep an eye on, as their styles of play are very similar and the two have moved the puck to one another well to this point.
– Unforced errors and turnovers grabbed headlines following Saturday's game, but the cautious and responsible style of play that the Bruins have become known for in recent years made its return on Sunday. The Coyotes' offense struggled to get going for long stretches at a time, particularly in the second period, when it took Phoenix about 15 minutes to get their second shot on goal of the period.
– The new third line, with Tyler Seguin skating between Mark Recchi and Michael Ryder, looks intriguing, but not for the reason one would think. Though Seguin had his first career goal on a breakaway that once again suggested his talents as a scorer will be too much to allow him to hit too big of a rookie wall, Ryder turning the corner from a down year last season could also help the Bruins big. Ryder sent Seguin a hail mary pass on the rookie's goal.
– That would indeed be Mr. Tim Thomas with the shutout for your Boston Bruins. Thomas wasn't spectacular, and at times could have been caught out of position, but the bottom line was that he made timely saves. As was mentioned above, the Phoenix offense had its fair share of lulls, but Thomas was ready for the spurts of pressure when they came.
In total Thomas, made 29 saves in the game, his first win of the season and his 18th career shutout.
– The defense was strong for the Bruins, but it can't be an encouraging sign that the team has shuffled its pairings regularly throughout the first two games. Such was the case in the preseason, but it appears that Claude Julien needs to be careful with who he pairs with Matt Hunwick, who despite playing better on Sunday than he'll probably be noticed, is a bit of a liability as he comes into his own.
Lucic, Horton have the Bruins leading after two
|10.10.10 at 11:40 am ET
PRAGUE — Sure, there have been some things not to like about the Bruins so far in their young season, but that first line still looks awfully good. Milan Lucic, admittedly on a quest for his first 20-goal season, got one out of the way courtesy of a Nathan Horton feed. Horton later scored yet another goal on a wrist shot from in front of the net, ant the first line has now produced all four of the Bruins' goals this season. Horton has been on scoring sheet for each of them after a two-goal performance Saturday.
The Bruins were sloppy in every area of the ice on Sunday, so they'll they have plenty of reason to be excited by the solid neutral zone play displayed through the first 40 minutes of the game. Horton set up Lucic's goal at the red line, hitting his streaking linemate in stride, and Lucic took it into the offensive zone and rifled a powerful slapshot past Bryzgalov from behind the circle at 12:12.
The Coyotes essentially gave Tim Thomas the first 15 minutes of the period off, producing just one shot on goal for the majority of the period. They finished the period strong with eight, and the shots on goal are now 27-16 in favor of the Bruins.
Bruins shooting for success after 1
|10.10.10 at 10:46 am ET
PRAGUE — Though the game is scoreless after one, it appears the Bruins have taken note of what they should have been throghout the first two periods on Satruday: shooting.
The team jumped out to a 10-1 lead in shots on goal in the first seven and a half minutes of the game, with the totals reading 15-8 at the end of the period.
A night after the defense struggled with puck control and consistency, the Bruins once again moved pairings around throughout the first period. Dennis Seidenberg and Johnny Boychuk started the game as a pairing, but Boychuk was moved to a pairing with Zdeno Chara almost immediately. Seidenberg skated with Mark Stuart, with Andrew Ference and Matt Hunwick pairing up.
Tim Thomas has looked solid thus far, stopping all eight shots he's seen from a Coyotes offense that put up four goals on Tuukka Rask a night earlier.
Video: Coyotes in Prague
|10.10.10 at 8:52 am ET
PRAGUE — As any writer on this trip will tell you, stability regard internet connections has not been one of the more amazing parts of this European trip. As a result, this video is getting to you a day late, but here's proof that the Coyotes are well-represented here in Prague. There was a massive pack of fans who made the trek from Phoenix outside of O2 Arena prior to the team's 5-2 season-opening victory over the Bruins. Disclaimer: don't watch this video if you don't like howling.
Thomas starting, lines shuffled for Bruins
|10.10.10 at 8:40 am ET
PRAGUE — A night after the Bruins lost their season-opening game in Prague to the Coyotes, 5-2, Claude Julien said that Tim Thomas would be starting in goal for Boston on Sunday. Tuukka Rask allowed four goals to Phoenix in Saturday's losing effort, though one came from a flukey bounce off the boards and another came on a breakaway caused by a Daniel Paille turnover. Julien indicated that the team's plan was to start Thomas in the second game anyway barring an overwhelming effort from Rask.
Additionally, Mark Recchi stated prior to the game that he would be playing on the third line with second overall pick Tyler Seguin and Michael Ryder. Daniel Paille and Adam McQuaid are the healthy scratches.
Recchi had played on Patrice Bergeron's line, which at one point included Seguin, throughout camp and the preseason. Rookie Jordan Caron, another former member of the second line in preseason, will return to skating with Bergeron after being scratched in the opener. Blake Wheeler will remain the second line's other wing.
The defensive pairings remain unknown entering the game, though it's worth noting that they were changed during Saturday's game, with the Dennis Seidenberg-Matt Hunwick pairing dooming the team early on and eventually being separated.
Team loses, but Chara deal means Bruins win big
|10.09.10 at 6:16 pm ET
PRAGUE — It was hard to imagine Saturday being too bad a day for the Bruins when word came down that the team had inked captain Zdeno Chara to a seven-year contract extension that will begin following this season, the last of his current deal.
Still, that 5-2 loss sure did give the signing a run for it's money, didn't it? The game aside (read about it here), Saturday marked the second of two consecutive huge days for the Bruins' future. In re-signing both Chara (seven years, $45.5 million) and center Patrice Bergeron (three years, $15 million), the team made sure two players who wear letters other than the spoked "B" on the front of their sweaters (Bergeron himself is an alternate captain at 25 years of age) would be in the fold long term.
What does it mean financially? Put it this way: This season, with the Chara carrying a $7.5 million cap hit and Bergeron with a cap hit of $4.75 million, the Bruins are paying $12.25 million combined for the two of them. When the new deals kick in for the two players, Chara will have a $6.917 cap hit for the first six years (he makes $4 million — less than the average annual value of the rest of the deal — in salary in the last year, which since he will be over 40 is not allowed to be factored into the cap calculation), with Bergeron taking up $5 million in cap space. Combined, that's a grand total of $11.917 million for both of the players, a savings of about $333,000 for Bergeron and Chara. Imagine the cap going up (even if it's slightly) in the future, and the Bruins seem to have had themselves a very productive couple of days.
So how did it all come together for the players? Chara's agent, Matt Keator, told WEEI.com on Saturday that "it was not an easy negotiation," and that it had "lots of moving parts." Even so, much like Bergeron said a day before, Chara said — as, to his credit, he did in the week leading up to the signing — that he believed the end result would be him staying in Boston. General manager Peter Chiarelli felt the same way, saying he was "pretty confident" before departing for Europe last week that the players would sign on the trip.
"From our perspective, these are two very, very important pieces of our team, very important individuals on and off the ice. There's uncertainty as you see some precessions as far as trying to retain these types of players," Chiarelli said. "As they get closer to the free agent market, you never know what's going to happen. It's also an extreme show of good faith when both sides can get it done now, meaning both sides wanted to get a deal done. We want Z and Bergy to be a part of the Bruins for a while, and they wanted to remain with the Bruins. It's a typical thing. When two sides want something to happen, it usually happens."
Any longterm deal with Chara, 33, figured to be a tough one for both sides to hammer out given that any deal that goes past a player's 40th birthday can be complicated as a result of the new cap calculation that came about following the Ilya Kovalchuk saga that grabbed headlines in the offseason. Kovalchuk's 17-year, $102 million deal with the Devils was nixed by the league because its later years paid out little money in an attempt to lower the cap hit. Now, as a result, the above calculation applies to longterm contracts that go into a player's 40's.
"Obviously, Kovalchuk's situation was a little extreme, and that maybe put the negotiations on hold for a little bit," Chara said of the hitches that came up in negotiations. "I just knew that we would get this done and I would be a Bruin."
That's two top players in two days to accept deals to stay in Boston prior to hitting free agency. It could be a coincidence, but it's more likely that the Bruins and Chiarelli are seeing a trend develop.
