Longer article with quotes from Summitt:
Pat Summitt diagnosed with early onset dementia » GoVolsXtra
Something like that is scarier to me than a heart attack or cancer:sad:
So sad, I always had a feeling the only thing holding her back from being the Joe Paterno of Womens College Basketball is sickness or death. I think she could have coached forever.
Though I'd never wish this on another, perhaps it will help bring attention to the possibility that illnesses and other health conditions can -- and do -- happen to anyone. It becomes so personal when it happens to someone we know.
Agreed. She's only 59. Barring something like this, I would have expected her to go at least 15 more years.
Terrible news.
Wow, that is not good news. Dementia can take over so quickly.
Ouch. Praying for her and her family. That's rough.
So disappointing. In reading the article - I had two thoughts: 1) I was struck by the maturity and thoughtfulness of her son's responses, and 2) My general impression is that earlier onsets of this disease are generally accompanied by faster progression.
Hopefully - medical advances will keep her coaching for awhile.
This is sad news. My grandfather developed dementia in his later years, and although the last time I saw him in person was in 2003 (he died in '08) I could tell he definitely wasn't the same, and it was hard to see a once strong man who did very well for himself while healthy slowly disintegrate.
Best wishes to Coach Summit, her family, and the whole Volunteer family.
Unfortunately, this is very true.
terrible news for her and her family.
that being said - can't imagine the negative recruiting she and her program will face.
Horrible news. Just goes to show that no one is protected from the frailty of the human body.
While I am sure recruits will take into account the fact that she may not be there, I believe the coaching community in women's basketball will not stoop so low as to actually use this as a pitch to prospective talent. Scott Drew does not coach women's basketball.
you wait. it will be on the back of recruits minds and other coaches will prey on that.
Coach Fennelly disagrees with you and mentioned as much in an interview today. Unfortunately, coaches will still use it.
I kind of hoped the recruiting in women's basketball was not as cutthroat, but that would be disappointing. The recruits know the deal, they don't need self-serving coaches preying on it.
But they're not above playing into homophobia and the like? Women's recruiting may be dirty in a different way, but it can still be dirty. I'm not saying everyone will sink to using this for negative recruiting, but you can bet some will.
I don't care about recruiting. I'm just so sad for Pat and her legions of fans, players, former players -- the entire Vol Family. Everyone who cares about her. Pat is beyond the game, an icon, a true hero of sport. She will continue coaching and I'm sure she will find a way to surprise us all with her excellence both on and off the court. Thank you Pat.
Life is long, but life is short.

From April 2015 the significant reforms surrounding withdrawing and inheriting pensions represent the biggest changes to impact pension legislation in over a century. Used appropriately, the new rules could make a significant difference to you, your beneficiaries and future generations of your family.
Often a pension fund is the largest investment an individual will have, yet without appropriate planning, many people could outlive their savings. The new reforms put financial control in the hands of the retiree, but faced with more freedom of choice, many people will struggle to make the right decisions.
When the big picture is taken into account, considering pension investment options as well as the three main taxes being Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax and Inheritance Tax, the right retirement income solution for one individual could prove comparatively disastrous for another and their beneficiaries.
Lowes can provide a full review of your existing pension arrangements taking into account your overall financial picture, and will recommend the most appropriate course of action to ensure you gain the most from the pension legislation changes without making costly mistakes.

Because your in-home workout experience should be a comfortable one, ProForm designed a roomy deck so you won't feel confined as you walk, jog, and run. The 55-inch length gives your legs plenty of room to get moving. And the 20-inch width allows your upper-body comfortable elbowroom. To ensure our treadmills are top quality, we test each belt for one million cycles at double the user weight before release.
0 – 12% Incline

Firstly, i know this is a business spec laptop, but I have bought it for my uni work as it has all the features I need.
Anyway, I need to do a full system recovery to put the laptop back in its factory default. It currently has windows7 professional 32bit installed.
I have looked at the literature, and it says to press F11 when booting up. But this doesn't do anything and laptop carries on booting using the HDD>
another option was to press 'esc' when booting up and then choose F11 in the option in there, but again there is no F11 option available when I boot up and press the esc key!
I have checked the drives, and there is a HP recovery partition size of 15Gb available.
I have also tried sing the DVDs that came with the laptop, but they don't work eiher and it seems that you can't boot up using the DVds for some reason. I can see that there is a folder called 'windowsimage' o similar on the DVD, so when I go to system restore part of windows7, it can't see that either!
The reason I need to do a recovery, is that I am upgrading the laptop to 64bit windows7 and want to start from scratch.
i also need to kno how to do it incase i need to do it in future.
have spoken to the IT department of where I bought the unit from, they where useless and said to speak tp HP.
Spoke to HP and don't think the guy on the phone knew what he was doing either!
Any help appreciated.

ZUsually the method I would use to have a laptop boot from the recovery cd/dvd is I would first boot into the BIOS usually by tapping several times the DEL key or the TAB Key or the F8 key depending on the model and operating syatem. Anyways once in tghe BIOS I would set the computer boot selection order to attempt booting from CD/DVD first, followed by Floppy Drive second and HDD last then save this setting. If the computer doesn't hav e media in either removable media drives it will automatically boot from the HDD just taking a little longer to check the removable media first during boot. Once thisx is set you should be able to boot from your recovery disks even in any OS on your HDD. Hope this helps.

CASVA gives innovative art thinkers room to think outside box
We Washingtonians know the acronyms that give people behind-the-scenes power.
We know about the villains of SPECTRE -- the Special Executive for Counterintelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion. And we've heard of the men from UNCLE -- the United Network Command for Law Enforcement. But how many of us recognize the secret force that is CASVA?
The Central Authority for Spite, Venality and Aggression? The Council for Abstinence, Self-control, Vigilance and Altruism? No. More important than either could be: the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts.
Toiling in the bowels of the National Gallery, CASVA's intrepid scholars shape what all the rest of us will someday believe about art.
We may think we come at pictures with fresh eyes and ideas, but our everyday insights are likely to echo the thoughts, once esoteric and radical, of some long-dead expert. If we look ahead to an art scene 15 or 20 years in the future, we'll find that its exhibitions, its wall texts, its college primers, its PBS specials -- even its newspaper reviews -- are likely to depend on research being done now by the unsung heroes of CASVA.
At any given time there are something like 35 of these operatives, based in Washington or scattered overseas. They work in the shadows to find new insights into art -- so the rest of us don't have to.
One CASVA scholar has shown that Renaissance patrons had such flexible ideas of time that they could know a bronze of Jesus was brand-new, yet still count it as dating to the time of Christ. A CASVA lecturer made the convincing case that a tame seascape by Edward Hopper -- nothing more than a boat, Sunday sailors, water and sky -- was in fact all about World War II and radio newscasts.
Glorying in the difficult
These CASVAnauts are led by their own version of Judi Dench's "M."
Elizabeth Cropper, a British scholar who has lived in the States for decades, is entering her 10th year as CASVA's dean. She is a petite 65-year-old and a power dresser -- crisp brown pantsuit, brown silk scarf, chunky beads. Her genteel manner is known to hide ambition and a will of iron.
"We do look for the most outstanding scholars to do the most demanding, intense work they can," Cropper says matter-of-factly. She is sitting in her corner office on the fourth floor of the gallery's East Building, with views onto the blooming trees of the Mall and the Capitol a couple of blocks off.
Cropper rattles off an impressive list of people and projects hosted by her center. She names a posse of brand-name art historians, here for six months or a year or two of distraction-free research and writing. They in turn mentor a band of younger scholars finishing their doctorates, or just moving beyond them. (CASVA doesn't do its own teaching, but it accepts and funds PhD students registered elsewhere.) And then there's the supply of visiting scholars, old and young, who show up for CASVA seminars and lectures.
Some of what gets worked on at CASVA may seem a touch obscure. Cropper touts the center's ongoing digitization of the records of the Accademia di San Luca, founded in Rome in 1593 as one of Europe's first art academies. Senior scholar Suzanne Preston Blier, a Harvard professor on research leave at CASVA, has been working on a project titled "Imaging Amazons: Dahomey Women Warriors In and Out of Africa." One of the doctoral students is bashing away at a thesis titled "Mediating the Third Culture at Tlatelolco, Mexico City." This is CASVA as a center for pure research and esoterica, on the model of an astrophysics lab.

The new team name is the Bad News Broncos, because of conflicts with another team with our other name, Bronco Bots we are using our new name The Bad News Broncos. This is a big move in our run that been going since 2013, and we are going strong; we have a vex team that has plenty of members now and we have 2 more additions to our frc team, and the season hasn't even started. Lets Get start with this season already!
The Bronco Bots have expanded the size of out robotics area to the whole north branch bus garage loft. And now that we have even more room for our Vex team and or FRC team. If you have children that are interested in robotics message us on Facebook or give us a call! Go Bronco Bots!!
The Bronco Bots would like to announce the start of a Vex team and the beginning of a new team for the Bad News Broncos family :)
November 30, 2016
Kids have been hard at work building their VEX robot for the next competition. The FRC kids have been hard at work building new pit stands for their competitions. A few of the mentors have been working concessions at the Palace with Divine Canine Rescue to earn money. We were able to buy new computers, new tools ,storage containers and lots more. This is going to be a great year!!!
November 17, 2016
Our first VEX competition!! The kids did awesome. They worked so hard at building their robot and competing. They placed 31st which is amazing for their very first one. They are so excited for their next competition in December @ Cranbrook.
April 13, 2016
April 13, 2016 Bronco Bots will be holding their 2nd annual yard sale in August of this year. They are looking for donations for this. Big ticket items such as stoves, washers, dryers, TV's, etc. They are not accepting clothes at this time. They will also be selling Tiger raffle tickets again. Please contact us @ 810-834-6834 if you have items that you would like to donate. As always items are tax deductible!
December 1, 2016
VEX kids are still working hard on making sure their robot is good for competition. They have adjusted their claw so that it can hang about 16 inches off the ground. Amazing job by the Junior Mentors!
December 3,2016
All the food boxes for the military have been delivered. We were able to get all the fixings for an amazing Christmas dinner for 6 families. A special thanks to Bryan's Market in Deerfield, Michigan for discounting the turkeys. We are so blessed that we were able to do this. We are now getting ready for the Ruth Fox Old Fashioned Christmas to benefit Space Camp. Can't wait for everyone to see our items we donated. It's an awesome package and goes to a great cause!
December 5,2016
Had an amazing time at the North Branch Christmas Parade. We decorated Scott's truck up to look like Rudolph and the kids stood behind it like the rest of the reindeer. We won 3rd place!!! Not bad for our first time. Glad we are part of the greatest community around.
FRC Kick-off 2017!
We are estatic for the game this year. Steamworks looks to be very challenging and will keep us on our toes. We have a few new kids on the team this year and we can tell they can't wait. Kit of parts come on!!!
January 5,2017
Build season is going great. We are ahead of schedule and things are looking up for us this year. We have had a few hiccups on the team but we have overcame them and moved on. We have a fabulous team and they work amazing together. Chasis is done and the design team is working hard on planning the robot.
January 12, 2017
It's been a busy couple weeks. We have the robot almost done and ready to go. We all have learned a lot this year and made some great changes to our team as a whole. The programmers have been going to a great class led by the Chimeras. We appreciate them being there for us and knowing that we can count on them has been a huge advantage for us. Our new carts for competitions are complete. We have made a new robot cart, got a lot of new tools and made a new mascot :-)
We can't wait to go and compete with all of our robotics family.

Subject: [PATCH v4 00/14] fuse: An attempt to implement a write-back cache policy
Newsgroups: gmane.comp.file-systems.fuse.devel
Date: Monday 1st April 2013 10:40:09 UTC (over 4 years ago)
Hi, This is the fourth iteration of Pavel Emelyanov's patch-set implementing write-back policy for FUSE page cache. Initial patch-set description was the following: One of the problems with the existing FUSE implementation is that it uses the write-through cache policy which results in performance problems on certain workloads. E.g. when copying a big file into a FUSE file the cp pushes every 128k to the userspace synchronously. This becomes a problem when the userspace back-end uses networking for storing the data. A good solution of this is switching the FUSE page cache into a write-back policy. With this file data are pushed to the userspace with big chunks (depending on the dirty memory limits, but this is much more than 128k) which lets the FUSE daemons handle the size updates in a more efficient manner. The writeback feature is per-connection and is explicitly configurable at the init stage (is it worth making it CAP_SOMETHING protected?) When the writeback is turned ON: * still copy writeback pages to temporary buffer when sending a writeback request and finish the page writeback immediately * make kernel maintain the inode's i_size to avoid frequent i_size synchronization with the user space * take NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP into account when makeing balance_dirty_pages decision. This protects us from having too many dirty pages on FUSE The provided patchset survives the fsx test. Performance measurements are not yet all finished, but the mentioned copying of a huge file becomes noticeably faster even on machines with few RAM and doesn't make the system stuck (the dirty pages balancer does its work OK). Applies on top of v3.5-rc4. We are currently exploring this with our own distributed storage implementation which is heavily oriented on storing big blobs of data with extremely rare meta-data updates (virtual machines' and containers' disk images). With the existing cache policy a typical usage scenario -- copying a big VM disk into a cloud -- takes way too much time to proceed, much longer than if it was simply scp-ed over the same network. The write-back policy (as I mentioned) noticeably improves this scenario. Kirill (in Cc) can share more details about the performance and the storage concepts details if required. Changed in v2: - numerous bugfixes: - fuse_write_begin and fuse_writepages_fill and fuse_writepage_locked must wait on page writeback because page writeback can extend beyond the lifetime of the page-cache page - fuse_send_writepages can end_page_writeback on original page only after adding request to fi->writepages list; otherwise another writeback may happen inside the gap between end_page_writeback and adding to the list - fuse_direct_io must wait on page writeback; otherwise data corruption is possible due to reordering requests - fuse_flush must flush dirty memory and wait for all writeback on given inode before sending FUSE_FLUSH to userspace; otherwise FUSE_FLUSH is not reliable - fuse_file_fallocate must hold i_mutex around FUSE_FALLOCATE and i_size update; otherwise a race with a writer extending i_size is possible - fix handling errors in fuse_writepages and fuse_send_writepages - handle i_mtime intelligently if writeback cache is on (see patch #7 (update i_mtime on buffered writes) for details. - put enabling writeback cache under fusermount control; (see mount option 'allow_wbcache' introduced by patch #13 (turn writeback cache on)) - rebased on v3.7-rc5 Changed in v3: - rebased on for-next branch of the fuse tree (fb05f41f5f96f7423c53da4d87913fb44fd0565d) Changed in v4: - rebased on for-next branch of the fuse tree (634734b63ac39e137a1c623ba74f3e062b6577db) - fixed fuse_fillattr() for non-writeback_chace case - added comments explaining why we cannot trust size from server - rewrote patch handling i_mtime; it's titled Trust-kernel-i_mtime-only now - simplified patch titled Flush-files-on-wb-close - eliminated code duplications from fuse_readpage() ans fuse_prepare_write() - added comment about "disk full" errors to fuse_write_begin() Thanks, Maxim --- Maxim V.

SEJA, Latvia —For Latvians, the party is officially over. The life they had gotten a taste of — that of life in western Europe, with new cars, nice restaurants, and boutique shopping — is in jeopardy.
This ex-Soviet Baltic state faces bankruptcy by June if it does not cut more money from its national budget and reach another deal with international lenders, prime minister designate Valdis Dombrovskis warned this week.
But Latvia has already slashed its budget to the bone. As part of a 7.5 billion euro ($9.5 billion) International Monetary Fund-led bailout package agreed on late last year, the country adopted an extreme austerity program. The government's budget must be kept within 5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP). Public sector salaries have been cut by 15 percent, and then another 10 percent. Government ministries have seen their outlays drastically reduced. Even a traditional Victory Day celebration with neighboring Estonia has been cancelled for lack of funds.
Now Dombrovskis says that even this will not be enough. He was named to lead a four-party center right coalition after the previous prime minister, Ivars Godmanis, resigned on February 20, in part over public outrage to the austerity measures. Dombrovskis and the new coalition have been left little choice but to follow the same path however.
Revenues have been lower than anticipated, while spending has been higher. The deficit ceiling should be raised to 7 percent of GDP, the prime minister said, while the next tranche of the bailout cannot be delayed. Even so the government will have to slash some 280 million lats, or $506 million, from the budget.
"We need an agreement with the IMF and with the European Commission," Dombrovskis said on national radio, as quoted by Reuters.
"The social impact [of the cuts] will of course be very unpleasant — but even more unpleasant would be not getting any more international financing, and the treasury runs out of money in June," he cautioned.
What all this means for the country's 2.26 million inhabitants, and towns like Seja, a sleepy farming community of some 2,500 inhabitants and 40 kilometers from the capital Riga, is anybody's guess, however.
According to Guntis Liepins, chairman of Seja's town council, the central government has already slashed his budget by 40 percent this year. "But there's no guarantee that we will receive the remaining 60 percent," he adds.
Because of the cuts, the town's school may be in danger of closing. Liepins just completed a 100,000 lat gymnasium and sport center on the school's grounds before the crisis hit — a project of pride that was built on credit. Now he wonders where they will find the money to pay off the loans.
"I feel like a hostage between the government and the people, says Liepins, a barrel-chested man with a bushy moustache. "There's no money, but at the same time, they don't tell us what to do."
The scene is being mirrored across this nation, wedged between Estonia and Lithuania on the Baltic Sea, which with its neighbors became a European Union and NATO member in 2004. Just two years ago Latvia boasted one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Today it is one of the fastest shrinking.
Schools and hospitals are being closed or reduced to save money. Meanwhile, local industry is shutting down. And thanks to the freedom to travel brought by EU membership, untold numbers of young Latvians moved abroad in search of higher wages. Now with economies worsening throughout the 27-member EU, they may be coming home, but to no work, which will further boost unemployment payments.
Just who is to blame for Latvia's predicament is open to debate. Some observers say that the crisis is simply a result of Latvia's EU accession, which opened the economy to foreign investment, and, equally crucial, cheap loans.
Others believe that Latvian officials bear a large portion of responsibility: the economy was under-regulated (driving up the credit market), the government spent far beyond its means, and when the economy overheated, officials refused to put the brakes, thereby missing the chance for a "soft landing." Then when the international economic downturn hit with a vengeance, the leadership was slow to react.
Still some, like Katinka Barysh, deputy director for the Centre for European Reform, a think tank, argue that the tradition EU growth model has also been called into question. In a recent briefing note she says that Eastern European nations are now suffering in part because they opened their economies up to foreign banks (which have now frozen credit lines) and based their growth on exporting to foreign markets (which are now rapidly drying up).
But other analysts, like Anders Aslund, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics and an expert on the region, believe that Latvia's economic policy has been for the most part blameless except for one critical decision, which is now having lasting repercussions: pegging the country's currency, the lat, to the euro in hopes of fast accession to the euro zone. This has overpriced the lat in comparison to other currencies.
"Few countries have made so few mistakes," Aslund said in a recent telephone interview, adding that it was better for Latvia "to take the blow immediately, rather than have a long steady slide."
Town council chairman Liepins, who classifies himself as "opposition" though he belongs to no political party, is less sanguine however. "I've never seen such a bardak (mess)," he says.
"Where we are going, nobody knows."

"BEWARE! SELLS VEHICLES W MAJOR REPAIR NEEDED"- BFair1234
Long story short, they sold me a truck, for which I paid cash that needed major repairs. Fixed one item on the list and said I could just take it back after they hadn't finished any other repairs when they had it for nearly two weeks. I had to replace the brakes, that they said had been recently replaced, the day after I got it back and it was a $700 repair. I had to call daily for any kind of update. They were rude and unhelpful and I hope you never have to experience the trauma I went through. DO NOT BUY A VEHICLE FROM THESE PEOPLE!Read More
"GREAT EXPERIENCE! Ask for FADY Great! Price 👌🏾👌🏾😁"- Mshellagodbody
I recently purchased a vehicle from them the customer service was great! I was quit skeptical from prior experience with salesmen who sale women anything because they know nothing about cars, they changed my oil tires my truck is beautiful AND RUNS LIKE A NEW TRUCK! I recommend this place if you want a great vehicle for a great price with good customer service! I love a place I don't have to return back with an issue 👌🏾😁Read More
"Not a trustWorthy"- Nick830
these people are untrustworthy and everything bad you think of about a use car dealership. They sold us a warrantie that turn out to be invalid. My engine check light came on after a few days went back to them to fix prob they said they would but did not. All they did was shout the engine check light off . Also found out a month later that the car was in a wreck, and was a flood vehicle .i wish I had not purchase this car for this dealership.Read More
"Satisfied Purchase Of A Lexus"- Lexus Happy
My experience is simple. I coincidentally noticed a new arrival on the lot of North Georgia Auto Brokers as I was in route to a meeting. I decided I had enough time to route back for a closer look. Upon inspection, I immediately thought this car met all my standards of condition, miles, year, model, options and below normal wear. I proceeded to discuss details with Amir who assisted me in all steps of the purchase. All concerns expressed prior to purchase were resolved in a professional way and pricing was agreeable. We are pleased with the standard of cars which North Georgia Auto Brokers offers and the competitive pricing which were unmatched in the market based on condition.Read More
"HORRIBLE HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE"- hannahs10
Although my review will be long, if you read to the end I promise it will be worth it and save you the same time and hassle that we went through. We brought in our 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Other than a few small dings in the bumper, there was literally nothing wrong with it. Everything worked great, it's equipped with a good sound system and good tires, and it was clean. There was no interior wear and tear, and we only had just under 53,000 miles on it. We even took it for a car wash with hot wax before bringing it over, and vacuumed and cleaned the interior ourselves. You are probably wondering why we would want to get rid of this car - my husband has a job that has us traveling around the country by car, and the Jeep is not great for space when we have a large dog and his crate, a cat, and all of our belongings. We are trying to have a baby, and once that happens there will be no room for anything in there, and we didn't want to get a tow package for the car because Jeeps do lose value more quickly than other vehicles and we really just wanted to trade in for something else. Our car was evaluated at another dealership, saying it was worth $12,000. We came to this particular dealership because they had a Nissan Armada that we wanted. We were looking for a deal in which we could trade the Jeep in, and get the remaining difference between the car we traded for and the Jeep's value, in cash. In this case, they advertised a 2004 Nissan Armada with about 140,000 miles on it for $9,900. They said it was in great condition and took very sneaky pictures on the website that made it look so, even though it had problems up the wazoo, but we'll get to that in a minute. This place is the place people talk about when they talk about sleazy car salesman on a sketchy car lot being rude to their customers. None of the cars were washed and they all had dirt and water marks all over them when we pulled up. We talked to Albert on the phone before coming to make sure the car we wanted was there, as this was a bit of a drive for us from southeast Atlanta, and we came by. Albert took us out, and acted completely disinterested. He didn't ask us anything, talk to us, he just stood aloof far away from the car. Almost as if he didn't even want to sell anything. When we got to the car, it looked only remotely similar to the pictures. It had a ton of wear and tear on the interior and exterior, but we decided to test drive it anyway. That's when the myriad of problems began to appear. Besides the fact that someone had messed with the electrical wiring of the radio in the car and some other charging ports, and that the back of the passenger seat was completely falling apart, we encountered broken windshield wipers, electrical problems with the driver's side window, HORRIBLE brakes that desperately needed fixing, it was in severe need of an oil change, and much more that I can't remember of the top of my head - but there were so many things that I actually had to make a list in my phone to keep track of them all so we could tell Albert when we got back. We did decide we wanted the car anyway, but it was no way worth $9,900. My husband fixes cars and he knew this was worth no more than $8,500. We got back, parked the car and my husband went inside to talk to Albert and negotiate. I stayed outside and talked to a nice gentleman who worked there, who told me he was only 13. The kid sells more cars than any other salesman there, it was his first day and he sold to the first customer that walked up to him. But these trolls barely pay him anything. When I congratulated him on his sale, he told me "The reason I sell is because I don't argue with the customers. The other guys argue with the customers constantly, and that's why we've had 7 or 8 people come in today and they haven't sold them a single thing." Maybe the idiots who work here could take some notes from this intelligent kid. They should keep him around, they desperately need him if they ever want to make any money, I'll be honest. I started telling him about all the problems with the car. He said, "Well, I think what a good deal would be is if you took the car at $9,900 and we just gave you the difference in cash to make up for the value difference of the Jeep." I told him that was the deal we were actually looking for. What a smart kid. Unfortunately, the idiot salesmen do not let him make deals, but that's too bad because they lost yet another customer because of it. Back inside, my husband pointed out all the flaws of the vehicle, and Albert wrote them down, although we fear he will probably do absolutely nothing about them and then sucker some poor other person who doesn't know a lot about cars into buying it anyway. Hopefully the person who buys the car will read this review before they do, but I'm doubtful. He told him we would do a trade with the car valued at $8500. Albert said no. We said we were willing to go up to $9000 but final offer because the car was literally a pile of crap. I came inside this time and pointed out all the flaws. He said "Mam, we can fix all of those things for you if you want but we aren't going to take your Jeep because it's too hard to sell." My husband luckily interjected and said no deal and we were leaving, because I was about to tell him that your ability to sell a car is not based on the car but on the quality of the salesperson, and the only person who can't sell a car of such good quality and low mileage is just a piece of crap salesman, honestly. If you want to go into business, you have to be willing to DO business. Everyone knows the business of car buying is haggling. If you're not willing to take a car that is of MORE value than your piece of crap vehicle, and you're not willing to negotiate on pricing, you are truly an idiot and know nothing about business. He even pulled the value up himself and agreed the Jeep was worth the $12,000 we were asking, he just didn't want it. It's no wonder they sold nothing all day. It's sad that the 13 year old standing outside knows more than the adult salesmen working at this place. What's sad is that their families are the ones who suffer trying to get food on the table and paying rent. If no one wanted this Jeep and it was so "hard to sell," how come we went to two new car dealerships (brand name ones too, an Acura and a Nissan) and a used car dealership and they all were bending over backwards to get this car into their inventory? Not to mention there was a Jeep dealership right down the road from this place. If Jeeps are "too hard to sell," how are they making any money? We ended up getting this same car at an Acura dealership, 2004 Nissan Armada, with 20,000 less miles, and did NOT look like a hungry Tyrannosaurus was let loose on the inside at feeding time. The dealership was unsure at first if they wanted it, but used their BUSINESS skills (because they are running a real business unlike these jokers) to negotiate a fair deal on both ends, which actually ended up being what we wanted - we got the car and $1950 in cash to compensate for the difference, and they got our nearly-perfect-condition Jeep with low mileage and a clear title in exchange. They even gave us a free tank of gas with the car, and stayed open 3 WHOLE HOURS past close and kept their best salesman there so we could get the car. If you want a real car buying experience from a family-owned business that doesn't hassle you, undervalue your vehicle and overvalue theirs - take the plunge and drive about an hour to the Sutton Acura in Macon. The Jeep's not too hard to sell for them, because they actually use their business to do business. What a concept!Read More

"HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED"- Arielle84
I bought a 2004 cadillac cts on March5 2014...The same night i bought it the check engine light came on so the ext morning I had it put on a machine...The catalytic converter was bad and it had a 5th cylinder misfire so i called them first thing that morning...My sales guy Michael said he would call me back because they had to make an appt with the mechanic(3 days went by no call)I called them back after the 3rd day and Michael tells me o the guy is here can you bring it?? I was unable to bring it right then,but he told me bring it Friday and i could get it Sat...Sat morning i called and he tells me o the mechanic couldn't get to it can I come back on monday or just leave it...I brought it back on monday and the guy repaired it... Few days later check engine light came on again and my car wouldn't start..I had it towed to cadillac repair and was told it needed a transmission flush and oil(warranty didnt pay i had to pay 245.00)..This was april 2 now on april 7th check engine light back on and i took it back to repair shop where i as told the computer was bad and the 02sensors needed to be changed,but the warranty didn't cover this(i picked it up and took it back to North Ga auto brokers) The owner came and told me he would take it for emissions (came back that it passed) so he said nothing was wrong just a filter needed to be cleaned...Drove the car home and a few days later while driving my car was running but not going anywhere!! I had it towed back to the dealership and they were very PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE and told me mechanics weren't free...The owner then said whatever was wrong he would have fixed but i would be charged the dealer fee to fix it smh....I then asked well how about i trade this back in and get something else(since i knew i wasn't getting money back) I was told i'd get 3,000 when I paid 7300...I then told them screw that just take it to mechanic....It was towed there at 930 and at 300 i hadn't heard anything...I called and was told the mechanic was working on it...They closed and i heard nothing!! The next day i waited till 12 and i was told the owner would call me because they didn't have mechanics number...I was like what dealership dosn't have the mechanics number?? This sounded fishy so i drove up there and then i was told o let me call the mechanic (the mechanic nobody had the number for) Now the owners brother told me they found out the transmission is bad and they can't fix it but i have a warrnty so it should be covered but they can't fix it because they aren't certified and the warranty wont pay them...I was pissed 7300 dollars and less then a month and now the transmission is bad!!??!! He told me o these things happen....Now the warranty is expired because it was a 3month or 3000 mile warranty whichever came first( i went over the miles due to going back and forth trying to get car fixed) Now i'm out of 7300 dollars and i'm trying to get warranty to honor since i put miles on trying to fix car, but if they wont fix i gotta pay 1800 dollars for a transmissionRead More

Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a relatively rare carcinoma of the mesothelial cells, and it is usually located in the pleural or peritoneal cavity. Here we report on a unique case of MM that developed in the chest, abdominal and pelvic walls in a 77-year-old female patient. CT and MRI revealed mesothelioma that manifested as a giant mass in the right flank and bilateral pelvic walls. The diagnosis was confirmed by the pathology and immunohistochemistry. Though rare, accurate investigation of the radiological features of a body wall MM may help make an exact diagnosis.
Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a relatively rare but highly invasive tumor that arises from mesothelial cells of the pleura, peritoneum, pericardium or spermatic sheath. MM may present as the local or diffuse form. A typical MM usually presents as diffuse or multiple pleural or peritoneal nodules, but it rarely presents as a chest or abdominal wall mass. There have been only three cases of pleural or peritoneal MM presenting as a chest or abdominal wall mass reported in the medical literature (1-3), of which one case occurred in the thoracic wall as a local pleural MM, and the other two cases occurred in the abdominal wall. The giant MM reported in this current article simultaneously invaded the chest, abdominal and pelvic walls. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only reported case of MM that was simultaneously located in the chest, abdominal and pelvic walls, and the mass was larger than any previously reported case.
A 77-year-old female accidentally noticed a progressively enlarging lump in her right abdominal wall one year earlier and she didn't receive any treatment. Loose stools appeared for the past half year without any obvious weight loss. A month previously, the patient suffered from shortness of breath after physical activity and eventually she visited our hospital, where the physical examination revealed a giant irregular tumor in the right chest, abdominal and pelvic walls. The upper edge of the tumor reached the lateral margin of the right breast and the lower edge was at the level of the pubic symphysis. The mass was hard without tenderness and poorly circumscribed with limited mobility. The local skin temperature was normal. The patient was a housewife: she denied any history of exposure to asbestos dust and poisonous chemicals and she had no symptoms, including fever, sweating at night, cough and chest or abdominal pain. The routine blood tests and serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA12-5 and CA19-9 were normal. The plain chest X-rays showed a large amount of pleural effusion in the right thorax accompanied with mediastinum shift. Ultrasound-guided drainage was performed after admission. Cytological examination of the pleural fluid revealed malignant tumor cells. Chest, abdominal and pelvic computed tomography (CT) showed a giant irregular soft-tissue mass in the right thoracoabdominal wall and bilateral pelvic walls that had extensively invaded the muscular layers of the wall and extended to the inside of the abdominal cavity with peritoneum thickening (Fig. 1A-D). The mass had poorly-defined margins. There was no clear demarcation between the mass and the surrounding body wall tissue. The abdominal and pelvic lesions extended to the subcutaneous tissue with spiculated margins. The tumor contained no calcium tissue and the tumor showed inhomogeneous slightly decreased attenuation with a CT value between 32 and 48 Hounsfield units on the unenhanced CT, and heterogeneous mild to moderate enhancement with a CT value that was increased 21-26 Hounsfield units on the contrast-enhanced CT. The pleural fluid causing the effusion was completely drained. There was no significant evidence of pleural thickening (Fig. 1A). No abnormal lesion was seen in both lungs. We noted ascites and part of the small bowel was dilated in the abdominal and pelvic cavity, but no soft-tissue tumor was seen inside (Fig. 1C, D). The mass on abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was iso-intense on the precontrast T1-weighted images (Fig. 1E), heterogeneous iso- to hyper-intense on the T2-weighted images (Fig. 1F) and it was heterogeneously enhanced with multiple patchy non-enhancing necrotic areas after contrast medium administration (Fig. 1G). The abdominal wall part of the lesion was bigger and more inhomogeneous than the other parts. The tumor itself contained no fat, yet there were multiple patchy areas of fat tissue in the superficial part of abdominal lesion due to subcutaneous tissue infiltration, and surrounding subcutaneous tissue swelling was also noted on the fat-suppressed T2-weighted images.
Biopsy was performed and specimens were taken from three different sites of the abdominal wall mass. Hematoxylin & Eosin staining showed papillary and tubular malignant tumor cells and proliferating mesothelial cells that had extensively invaded the muscular tissue (Fig. 1H). The tumor cells were positive for high molecular weight cytokeratin (34βE12) (Fig. 1I), HBME-1, calretinin (Fig. 1J), Wilm's tumor-1 (WT-1) and vimentin, and the tumor cells were negative for thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) and villin. These results confirmed the diagnosis of MM.
As the tumor was very large and extensively invasive, surgical resection was not possible and radiotherapy was also not done. The patient was treated symptomatically and sadly, she died six months later due to gradual deterioration of her condition.
Malignant mesothelioma is a relatively rare tumor that arises from mesothelial cells. Pleural MM is the most common type of MM and the next most common type is malignant peritoneal mesothelioma. Most but not all MMs are related with occupational or environmental exposure to asbestos (4). The patient in our case denied any history of exposure to asbestos and poisonous chemicals. As the incidence of MM has tended to have gradually increased in the world, this malady has aroused more attention.
Malignant mesotheliomas presenting as a chest or abdominal wall mass are usually caused by direct invasion of the pleural or peritoneal MM. The present case first presented as a mass in the abdominal wall, and it had invaded the abdominal cavity. No significant evidence of pleural thickening was noted nor was any abnormal lesion seen in lungs. We concluded that the present case of MM was a peritoneal mesothelioma that directly invaded to the chest, abdominal and pelvic walls, and it became a giant mass.
According to the histological morphology, MM is divided into three sub-types: epithelial, sarcomatoid and mixed. The diagnosis of MM mainly depends on the pathology and immunohistochemistry. A body wall MM should be differentiated from various soft-tissue sarcoma, sarcomatoid and metastatic tumors. According to the literature (5), the main positive MM markers include HBME-1, 34βE12, calretinin, WT-1 and vimentin, and the negative markers mainly include TTF-1 and villin. The pathology and immunohistochemistry of the present case were consistent with the diagnosis of the mixed type MM, and the pathological feature of the muscular tissue being diffusely invaded corresponded with the CT and MRI findings.
In addition, imaging examinations also play an important role in the diagnosis, staging and follow-up treatment. A contrast-enhanced CT scan is the main imaging examination for MM (6). CT is able to completely scan the chest, abdomen and pelvis in a single process. This is helpful for determining the origin of MM, the scope of the pathologic invasion and making the differential diagnosis from various organ tumors. This advantage was also reflected in our case. MRI, which provides better soft-tissue contrast resolution than does other imaging modalities, allows accurate characterization of the mass and the relationship between the tumor and the surrounding structures, which may help distinguish between MM and other soft-tissue tumors of the body wall (7).
The imaging-based differential diagnosis of a body wall MM may mainly include other infiltrative lesions, such as abdominal fibromatosis, muscle lymphoma and metastatic tumors. Since this type of MM is rare and only a few cases have been reported with the CT images, there has been no detailed description of the body wall MM imaging features. According to the previous literature and the present case, the following radiological features may help make the radiological diagnosis and differential diagnosis of a body wall MM (7-10). First, the CT attenuation values of MM are somewhat heterogeneous and similar to or slightly lower than that of normal muscle on unenhanced CT, with a mild to moderate increase on contrast-enhanced CT. On T2-weighted images, MMs are compared with muscle with heterogeneous equal or slightly increased signal intensity. However, on the CT images, mostly abdominal fibromatosis and muscle lymphoma have relative homogeneous intermediate attenuation and moderate to marked enhancement; on T2-weighted images, the predominant signal intensity of MM lesions is intermediate, between that of muscle and that of subcutaneous fat, and the features that the T2-weighted images depict are hypo-intense bands that are not enhanced and these will help differentiate fibromatosis from MM. In addition, as the pathological examinations have shown, MMs have a few necrotic areas that are revealed on contrast-enhanced MRI, which will help differentiate body wall MM from metastatic tumors and infectious diseases. Second, a body wall MM is usually characterized by a poorly-defined margin that frequently extends and infiltrates along the body wall, and this type of MM is more aggressive than the other types of MM. Compared with them, most other soft-tissue masses and even metastatic tumors have a relatively clear margin and especially on the contrast-enhanced CT and MRI. Third, the body wall MM that probably arises from the pleura or peritoneum is often accompanied by pleural or peritoneal thickening and effusion.
In summary, we report here on a rare case of MM with a unique presentation. Although the diagnosis of MM depends on the pathology and the radiological examination findings are not specific, the features differentiating body wall MM from other soft-tissue infiltrative tumors are CT attenuation, MRI signal intensity, the pattern of contrast enhancement, diffuse involvement of the body wall and peritoneal or pleural thickening, which may help make an exact diagnosis.

Weekly Update: Paper Piecing Success
If you missed the comedy act that was my first try at paper piecing last week, you might not understand why this little block makes me so happy:
And with this new skill, I can confidently start working on the paper pieced star from Fresh Lemons Quilts that was chosen for the block of the month by Elvy Crafts for the Simply Solids bee.
Moving on to more solids! The wall-hanging blocks are complete and waiting to be sewn together. I'm looking forward to quilting this one.
And on the horizon, I've been pulling and buying these fabrics…
What are you working on this week?
Happy quilting!
7 Responses to Weekly Update: Paper Piecing Success
Oh my — that snippet of the April block is really striking! And I love the brownish blue color scheme of your HST quilt!
You're doing fantastic so far! I've read through so many tutorials for paper piecing and finally found one that made sense for me: http://sewhooked.com/2008/10/28/paper-piecing-step-by-step/
Your paper piecing looks great, and your wall hanging is looking awesome! As long as I have the simple paper piecing with just a few straightforward pieces, I'm good. Just couldn't get the hang of the scrappy paper piecing :/
Your paper piecing looks lovely! The piece with the solid triangles is stunning!

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – Prior to her grandparents' homicides last week, police had responded several times to their residence for the 17-year-old running away, as well as an assault on her grandmother when she was 16.
On Saturday, the teenage girl, who we are not naming because she is a juvenile, was taken to the hospital with self-inflicted knife wounds, her grandparents were dead and her 19-year-old boyfriend's sister was assaulted with a baseball bat.
Police started their investigation into the teen couple immediately.
However, it wasn't the 17-year-old's first run-in with police or violence.
"We responded to the location numerous times for her being a runaway and at least once for a physical dispute with her grandparents," Gwinnett County Police Cpl. Deon Washington said.
On Nov. 30, 2016, Police Officer JC Guevara responded to their Furlong Run home in Lawrenceville, Ga., just before 10 p.m., for a domestic call. He met with Wendy and Randall Bjorge, as well as their 16-year-old granddaughter. The three resided at the white, two-story, middle class suburban home.
Wendy told the officer that she and her granddaughter were arguing about her granddaughter's behavior, including staying out late and showing "disrespect towards" Wendy.
During the altercation, Wendy said, her granddaughter threw water on her. The officer observed liquid on the ground and Wendy's pajama shirt was wet.
Wendy, 63, also told the officer that her granddaughter was home-schooled.
During the officer's interview with Wendy, he noted in his report, the teenager was very vocal.
"I heard her several times, while Ms. Bjorge would speak, some smart aleck remark. During which time, I had to intervene several times… to be quiet and not speak when an adult was talking."
Randall, 63, who was on scene during the argument in its entirety, also had a wet shirt. He told police that he was attempting to keep his granddaughter off his wife. And said that he was concerned that his granddaughter would turn violent, since she took martial arts.
According to him, there had been violence between the two in the past, including the teen striking Wendy several times. And this day, he said, was no different.
The teenage girl struck Wendy several times, he said. However, Guevara did not report any visible bruises on the 63-year-old grandmother and she did not complain of any injuries. There was, however, a small red mark on her left arm.
The officer interviewed the teen, who was also wearing a wet shirt. She admitted there was an argument, but she denied hitting her grandmother.
She said she asked her grandmother not call the police and they argued about it.
Guevara did not take the teen into custody, however, he wrote a report and forwarded it with a juvenile complaint form to the juvenile courts.
The then-16-year-old was charged with simple battery, simple assault and unruly juvenile. The primary weapon used was a "blunt object," possibly a hand, fist or another object.
According to police, the teenager habitually ran away from home.
In fact, on April 1, Wendy posted on her Facebook page a plea to find her granddaughter.
"please spread the word… PLEASE BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR [granddaughter]"
Wendy also posted a "Missing and Endangered" poster which stated the last time she was seen was on Dec. 18, 2016.
MORE | Teen couple investigated in sister's assault, grandparents' deaths
Police believe her grandparents may have been dead for days when they found them on Saturday night.
They immediately started investigating their teenage granddaughter and her 19-year-old boyfriend after learning that the same day, they had allegedly beaten his sister and her boyfriend.
Here's how the violent rampage began and came to, what police call, a "brutal" and deadly end.
Gwinnett County Police Department responded to a 911 call at 8:30 p.m., to Rambling Woods Drive in Lawrenceville, Ga., where Tomoko Rider said her son, Johnny Rider beat her daughter with a baseball bat.
Tomoko called 911 and advised police that she was driving her daughter, Mindy Rider, and her boyfriend, to the hospital for their injuries. She also told dispatch that her son had made threats to kill her and her daughter.
Once they arrived on the scene, police peered inside the lower level of the house from the front porch, and reported seeing items strewn about inside. They spotted blood smeared on the wall and door frame in the bathroom.
They rang the doorbell and announced themselves as law enforcement, Officer R.M. Litwin said in the police report.
"I then leaned in the door slightly to look around because it was unknown if there may be an injured party still on scene. As I leaned toward the door I immediately began to cough. After a moment Officer Leigh realized that someone had sprayed pepper spray in the residence," Litwin said.
Once back outside, Tomoko arrived back at her home and approached the officers to tell them in person what had happened.
Mindy, Tomoko told police, was hit in the head with a baseball bat after an argument with her brother and his girlfriend—a girl that Tomoko said she had never seen before. Johnny had not been home for about two weeks prior to the incident.
Tomoko told Litwin that she received a call from Mindy that Johnny was there and trying to steal from them.
According to her, when Mindy threatened to call the police Johnny attacked her.
Mindy told police that when Johnny arrived home, she confronted him about her room being ransacked and items missing, including a watch. At first, she said, he seemed to agree, but then headed back to her room with a can of bear pepper spray, spraying Mindy and her boyfriend.
He grabbed her boyfriend and began striking him while yelling for his girlfriend to get a baseball bat, she said. The 17-year-old girl returned with a bat and that's when Mindy said she intervened.
Johnny's girlfriend struck Mindy in the back and head with the bat and Johnny struck her several more times with his fist and with the bat, per what Mindy told police.
Johnny and his girlfriend continued to beat Mindy and her boyfriend until they could break free, per the police report.
While on the scene, officers found the bear spray on the couch, as well as two air rifles and a machete on a dog cage, which were all removed from the house for safety.
Mindy was released from the hospital, but suffered multiple bruises and received seven staples in her head.
"I'm totally flabbergasted that this was going on," Beth Lenz, who lives next door, said.
"[There were] lots of people going back and forth. I've seen a couple of arguments," she recalled Monday afternoon about her neighbors.
While on the scene, police located the Bjorges' car, a Mazda Tribute SUV, in the garage. They found the driver's side door open and the interior lights on, but unoccupied.
Officers had been to the Bjorges' residence earlier in the week for family-requested welfare checks, but were unable to make contact. Because of the assault to Johnny's family, police decided to check on his girlfriend's grandparents again.
Just a mile and a half away, police entered the Bjorges' home, where the 17-year-old lived with and was home-schooled by her grandparents.
Officer J.A. Sanders and Sgt. Brewster found Wendy and Randall, both 63, dead upstairs in their Furlong Run home Saturday night, just after 11 p.m. They believe the married couple may have been deceased for days. Their Lawrenceville, Ga., home had been ransacked.
"Their deaths were apparent homicides," Det. D.C. Smith said.
According to the police report, the primary weapon used was a "blunt object," possibly a hand, fist or another object.
Detectives and Crime Scene officials worked throughout the night looking for Johnny and his girlfriend.
On Sunday morning, with his family's assistance, police located them at the Residences at McGinnis Ferry on McGinnis Ferry Road, in Suwanee, Ga., inside a friend's apartment.
When the suspects refused to come outside, the Gwinnett County SWAT team entered the home and located the suspects who were suffering from self-inflicted knife wounds.

Johnny and his girlfriend were hospitalized at Gwinnett Medical Center-Lawrenceville.
As of Tuesday afternoon, charges related to her grandparents' double homicide have not been filed, however, Rider has been charged and booked into jail, on battery charges for the assault on his sister and her boyfriend.
His girlfriend, who remains in the hospital, has not been charged.
The motives are still unknown, pending further investigation.

Juventus coach eyes two more signings and wants to keep Vidal
Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has targeted two more signings as he looks strengthen his squad before the start of the Serie A campaign.
The Italian champions have already brought in Patrice Evra, Alvaro Morata and Kingsley Coman on permanent transfers this summer, while Udinese winger Roberto Pereyra joined the Turin giants on loan.
But Allegri, who replaced departed Antonio Conte at the helm of the Turin giants earlier this summer, believes his team still needs further improvements.
"We need two more signings," Allegri said to Gazzetta dello Sport. "But they have to be quality signings. We need a defender and a striker.
"It's useless to give names as acquisitions depend on who you can bring and who is on the market.
"We have little time to act and we must choose carefully.
"We cannot afford to make any mistakes regarding these two signings."
Allegri, meanwhile, is keen to keep Arturo Vidal at Juve.
Vidal has been strongly linked with a move away from Turin in recent months with Manchester United said to be among the top clubs keen to acquire the 27-year-old Chile midfielder's services.
"I don't think Vidal is affected by the transfer market speculation," Allegri said. "He is sought after but he is already in a big club."
Juve begin their Serie A title defence against Chievo in Verona on August 30.
