Hi Everyone,
So, my bf and I are coming up to 2 years together. About 3 weeks ago he noticed a bump around his shaft. Honestly it looked like a skin tag to me and we didnt really think anything about it. The following week another one showed up, so he started googling and came to the conclusion that it was a skin tag or warts. We have both been faithful and this is why neither of us were even thinking warts but thought to be safe he would go and get checked. When he came out of the doctors office, he said I have good and bad news, we walked to the car and as soon as the doors closed and he looked at me and i knew just by his face that it was not good. He told me the doctor said it was warts but, it is so early and they are so small that they will be no problem to get rid of them. I just started crying, never in a 100 years would i have though this is what the outcome was gonna be. The doctor had said that either one of us could have contracted the virus from a past relationship (so 2-3 years ago) and only now be showing. His ex was cheating on him and I have a pretty good feeling mine was cheating on me. So now I am scheduled to go in and see if I have the warts as well. I dont have anything on the outside that i can see but, i know i could have them on the inside. I am just in a mix of emotions, my bf and I have been talking about this openly but, i guess i am looking for some word of advice from people who have already gone through this stage. My bf is totally destroyed right now, he is trying to be his fun loving self but, he has broken down a few times. He is disgusted with himself, he feels like he has ruined my life. He is also scared that come my appointment I will be clear and leave him. I have so many questions but, im not gonna ask them all now, i guess what i am looking for is just someone it say it will be ok. I have always been very open with my family and talk to them about everything but, this is something I do not want to talk about with them. I know i haven't been diagnosed with warts yet but, i pretty much figure it's what they are gonna say. I feel so gross, like i should trap myself in my room and not be around other people. I guess one thing i would like to know is, if i am clear should i get the gardisle vaccine? I am 25 right now, so I have 1 year felt to get it. If i got this vaccine would that prevent me from getting the virus from my bf? I have a feeling if I am clear he will end things with me because he is so mad with himself right now thinking he has ruined our lives.
Anyways, before i ramble any longer. Any comments would be helpful.

hi guys, it's best to consult your doctor first and stop panicking. i treated mine with wartscide, it's a liquid treatment that you just have to apply. but i got myself diagnosed first before using it. then abstain while on treatment.

You DO know that HPV and genital warts are VERY VERY common, right? about 80% of the population IN THE U.S. has it. It is nothing to be worried about as your body usually rids itself of the virus within a few years, but you can't just rely on that for an answer. rare types of HPV may cause cervical cancer so MAKE SURE to follow up with ALL of your appointments. It really is okay and it is nothing to be ashamed of, it will happen to everyone, eventually. so be strong, i hope you and your boyfriend are still together, and stay happy- it's not as bad as it sounds.

just be faithful with whatever treatments you are on. and have a regular appointment with your doctor to see if the treatment is effective or not. focus on this rather than the other implications. here are some good treatments that you can check out: ACV, tea tree oil, Oxyfend Zerowarts, Wartscide, laser treatment.

i understand where you are coming from. i am actually just around your age but i had known that i have herpes for 3 years already. it would be best to wait first for the results before proceeding with any treatment. i have learned a lot about this disease and i got to know that your thinking and mind can help in minimizing the breakouts. we are so young and we should not let this get hold of us.

First dont get sucked into buying a hi-def antenna ther is no such thing except costs more money .But also note do you live oin an area where you would get good anolog reception. I live in San Jose ca. 70 miles from San Francisco and with a $49.00 radio shack outside antenna I receive 18 local digital channels 9 are in hi-def steweeee
I'd like to get an antenna to get over-the-air HD broadcasts. Problem is, it seems no place has adequate selection - not even Amazon or Cnet itself. I've already looked at antennaweb.org, but I live in new construction. (My address isn't even on google maps.)
Anyway, know of a good place to browse around?

Description Shipping and Payment More Info This rifle is a Luxus model chambered in the new 500-416 caliber. This chambering offers bolt rifle-like velocity in a double rifle, unlike the 2,00-2,050 velocity of the Nitro Express calibers. It was designed by Krieghoff to duplicate the ballistics of the 416 Rigby (400gr bullet at 2,400fps), one of the most effective African rounds ever developed. This rifle was ordered by someone of smaller stature, and has a LOP of 13 1/4". As I usually like 14 to 14 1/2" on my doubles, I just add a Galco leather pad to bring it out to my size. The rifle has a small scratch on one barrel, but other than that it appears as new. If you can fit into a 13 1/3" LOP, or don't mind adding a pad or a Galco, this is a good deal on a double rifle in a modern and deadly African caliber. Price is for rifle only, but I have lots of brass, saddlemounts, and scopes, and other Blaser accessories to fully outfit the rifle for safari. I will ship direct as an individual to your FFL, including my photo ID and NJ Firearms ID. If your state or dealer requires shipment FROM an FFL, such arrangements can be made.

One who removes all obstacles and sadness in your journey to life, Lord Ganesha, teaches us to give our best to life, and expect nothing in return. He is the God of wisdom and knowledge, and we, mortals, look up to Him during times of difficulty and times of happiness. Before any auspicious occasion, a pooja is conducted in front of a big or Small Ganesh Idols.
GoGappa presents to you, marble Ganesh idols and murtis that will adorn your temple. These idols are intricately crafted by hand, each one being unique with its own charm. Our marble Ganesh murtis are finely painted upon pure white marble and are embossed with golden and kundan work. They even come with their own chowki and on it, too, golden and kundan work is done. The entire ensemble is very small. We have created this because whether our statues are big or small, God will treat us all equally and give us all what we deserve in this life.
When performing ceremonial rituals or normal pooja, we need to see the Divine in front of our eyes the way we picture Him in our minds. Keeping this in mind, we have created beautiful and elegant Marble Ganesh Statues just for you. After you buy these marble Ganesh statues you are sure to recommend it to your friends and family- to whom, we will happily provide the same. And the next time someone thinks of buying marble Ganesh murtis, he should think of coming only to GoGappa!

- Veteran track announcer Dave Johnson has called the Derby either on TV - on ABC for many years - or, more recently, on the Westwood One radio network every year since 1977...up to this year. Churchill Downs transferred the race to ESPN Radio this year, and I guess ESPN likes to put their own announcing stamp on their new racing properties. Hopefully this decision will turn out better than the Breeders Cup did.
"I will be home in my living room, and happy that I will not have to battle the zoo at the track and the traffic back to my hotel." Or so Johnson told the Toronto Globe and Mail. (He also says of ESPN's decision to replace him: "I don't agree with it.")
Johnson called the races at NYRA in the 70's, and man, he was in his prime back then, and to this day, I think he was, during that time, the best I've ever heard. He was a young guy with the kind of youthful enthusiasm that I found to be infectious. As I related in a now nearly two-year old post, it was his race calls that I listened to on the album Secretariat - Horse of the Century that helped get me into thoroughbreds at a time when I was strictly a harness guy. (And I still need to find that record, I know it's here someplace.) The best calls were races that Secretariat lost - to Onion in the Whitney, and to Prove Out in the Woodward. "ALLEN JERKENS DOES IT AGAIN!" Johnson exclaimed as the latter headed to victory. Alas, I couldn't find that race on You Tube, but there is some video of Big Red there in addition to the Belmont. Since I wrote about the Poly-to-turf angle before, I thought I'd post the video of Secretariat winning the Man O'War at Belmont in his first turf start. Dave Johnson with the call.

Dave Johnson was awesome. It's a shame the four letter word needs to butt their head in on anything that is good.

Thanks for the video. What a performance by Secretariat as well as an excellent call by Dave Johnson. I was reminded once again, what a great horse Big Red was.
This was an excellent Dave Johnson, who stayed in the race and kept the excitement going. It seems that as he became more of a celebrity all of his race call was to set up his "down the stretch they come", whether it was needed or not. - 8:20 AM

Secretariat's Belmont is the most incredible athletic achievement(not just horse racing achievement) I've ever seen.
Part of the mystique of it is Chick Anderson's call in which he said exactly the right thing, "Secretariat is like an incredible machine".
I never even knew Dave Johnson called the race - 8:33 AM

The late Chic Anderson - who was pretty great in his own right - called Secretariat's Belmont for national TV, which I believe was CBS at the time.

The Summer Institutes are open to junior/senior undergraduates and, in most cases, first-year graduate students from the host university or other institution. They consist of summer programs across one or, in some cases, two summers. They combine for-credit coursework and research seminars with hands-on research mentored by leading faculty in the field. Students are paid a stipend.
NIBIB and NSF are interested in having the Summer Institutes reach broadly into the national student talent pool as they seek to attract a diverse group of U.S. citizens and permanent residents to careers in bioengineering or bioinformatics, with special emphasis on ensuring the participation of women, under-represented minorities, and persons with disabilities in the program.

These photos were taken next to a colorful mural inside a wonderful art museum in Helsinki!
At the beginning of my trip to Europe, I wore a hole right through the bottom of my trusty cowboy boots, which were supposed to be my walking shoes. So I busted out my problem-solving skills and found some suede, sale-rack Eccos in London. I'm wearing them in most of my photos from the trip.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, through the 2008 Northeast Diesel Collaborative Emissions Reduction Grant Program, awarded $205,523 to the Chittenden Solid Waste District (CSWD) to replace three diesel vehicles from model years 1994-98 with new compressed natural gas (CNG) models, according to a Feb. 26 press release.
Through this grant, CSWD will partner with refuse haulers to facilitate the early replacement of three 1998 and older diesel vehicles with new CNG models. EPA funds will cover up to 25 percent of the cost of the new vehicle.
"The lifetime cancer risk from diesel soot in Chittenden County exceeds the risk of all other air toxics tracked by the EPA combined," said Tom Moreau, CSWD general manager. "This grant will help purchase compressed natural gas replacement vehicles for three diesel solid waste collection trucks resulting in reductions in emissions of over 75 percent and in petroleum fuel consumption of over 27,000 gallons."

Nipple discharge is any fluid that comes out of the nipple area in your breast.
Alternative Names
Discharge from breasts; Milk secretions; Lactation - abnormal; Witch's milk (neonatal milk); Galactorrhea; Inverted nipple; Nipple problems
Sometimes discharge from your nipples is okay and will get better on its own. You are more likely to have nipple discharge if you have been pregnant at least once.
Nipple discharge is usually not cancer (benign), but rarely it can be a sign of breast cancer. It is important to find out what is causing it and to get treatment. Here are some reasons for nipple discharge:
- Pregnancy
- Recent breastfeeding
- Rubbing on the area from a bra or t-shirt
- Injury to the breast
- Infection
- Inflammation and clogging of the breast ducts
- Noncancerous pituitary tumors
- Small growth in the breast that is usually not cancer
- Severe underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism)
- Fibrocystic breast (normal lumpiness in the breast)
- Use of certain medicines
- Use of certain herbs, such as anise and fennel
- Widening of the milk ducts
Sometimes, babies can have nipple discharge. This is caused by hormones from the mother before birth. It should go away in 2 weeks.
Cancers such as Paget's disease (a rare type of cancer involving the skin of the nipple) can also cause nipple discharge.
Nipple discharge that is NOT normal is:
- Bloody
- Comes from only 1 nipple
- Comes out on its own without you squeezing or touching your nipple
Nipple discharge is more likely to be normal if it:
- Comes out of both nipples
- Happens when you squeeze your nipples
The color of the discharge does not tell you whether it is normal. The discharge can look milky, clear, yellow, green, or brown.
Squeezing your nipple to check for discharge can make it worse. Leaving the nipple alone may make the discharge stop.
Exams and Tests
Your health care provider will examine you and ask questions about your symptoms and medical history.
Tests that may be done include:
- Prolactin blood test
- Thyroid blood tests
- Head CT scan or MRI to look for pituitary tumor
- Mammography
- Ultrasound of the breast
- Breast biopsy
- Ductography or ductogram, an x-ray with contrast dye injected into the affected milk duct
- Skin biopsy, if Paget's disease is a concern
Once the cause of your nipple discharge is found, your doctor or nurse can recommend ways to treat it. You may:
- Need to change any medicine that caused the discharge
- Have lumps removed
- Have all or some of the breast ducts removed
- Receive creams to treat skin changes around your nipple
- Receive medicines to treat a health condition
If all of your tests are normal, you may not need treatment. You should have another mammogram and physical exam within 1 year.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most of the time, nipple problems are not breast cancer. These problems will either go away with the right treatment, or they can be watched closely over time.
Possible Complications
Nipple discharge may be a symptom of breast cancer or a pituitary tumor.
Skin changes around the nipple may be caused by Paget's disease.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Have your health care provider evaluate any nipple discharge.

Never Lift
1997 Cherokee Chevy 350
I am putting my 1997 Cherokee Project up for sale to fund some other things going on. I don't have the money to finish it right now and don't see me running into any fortunes soon. Besides I want my garage back. The body has been cut behind the front doors and I have started an exo cage (needs to be finished). Currently it has no suspension or axles. By the end of the weekend in might have stock leafs and a dana 35 in the rear with some rollers but nothing in the front. I have also started to tear out the dash in plans of building a new one. I will include the stock dash if you are interested. It also has a Chevy 350 bolted in with Advanced Adapters Cherokee-Chevy 350 motor mounts and a 700r4 and mocked up trans crossmember. I have most of the front clip to put it back together except maybe a blinker or trim. More details on the motor and trans can be seen here:
I am asking $700 obo the way it sits, bring your trailer and maybe some dollies to roll it on. It has been awhile since I have worked on it, so I am probably forgetting some things, please let me know if you have any questions. Located in Linden 48451.

Happy Holidays and thank you so much to everyone who has shown their love this season with a donation to the students of Caye Caulker Ocean Academy. There are so many heart-warming stories to share with you about how your donations are making a difference in Belizean children's lives and we thank each and every one of you for your kindness.
Family sponsors scholarships at Ocean Academy
Brenda and Rob Horn from Wisconsin have six children, and recently "adopted" two more at Caye Caulker Ocean Academy. The family will be sponsoring a full four-year scholarship for one student, and partially assisting another. Brenda and Rob emailed us after their school visit: "we had a long talk with all of our children last night. We told them the statistics that less than 40% of children go to high school, and less than 10% of Caye Caulker children graduate, and that made them very sad. We told them that we were sure as OA grows, more children will attend high school and graduate. We also explained to them the average salary of a Caye Caulker resident, and how much it costs to attend school. They asked really good questions about the salary of the teachers, the cost of electricity, lights, supplies, water etc., when they saw a picture of the school. They all agreed they were very happy our family is sponsoring and wished we could help more. This lead into another really good conversation about "wanting" something versus "needing" something. Our children really want to come to Caye Caulker someday to see the school and meet [our student]... Our visit with your school and meeting the staff and children, is already making a difference in our own home in such a positive way so thank you again!".
Ocean Academy students entertain the community with Christmas Games and Show
Ocean Academy students, teachers and volunteers worked all week to set up this year's Christmas Extravaganza on Caye Caulker. During the day, the high-schoolers ran games for the island children such as fishing pond, facepainting, bucket and dart throws, arts and crafts centre, photos with Santa and a dice and paddle game. In the evening the Ocean Academy students entertained the community with guitar, choir, dance performances as well as skits and poems, More photos can be seen on our school Facebook page (Caye Caulker Ocean Academy).
Five Jr. Science students win trip to Planetarium and Mayan Museum in Mexico
The Mexican Embassy took 100 of the best Belizean students for a trip to visit the new Planetarium and the Museum of the Mayan Culture in Chetumal, Mexico. 5 Ocean Academy students and their science teacher were selected! The aim of the trip was to expand the knowledge in astronomy and Mayan culture among Belizean students. More photos are on our school Facebook page (Caye Caulker Ocean Academy).

The unfortunate scene at Chateau Lafite Rothschild today after heavy storms last night.
Two out of three flag poles have gone at Pontet Canet.
Big tree down at the village of Bages near Pauillac. The electrcity was cut out for most of the day. Hope the wine is OK in the barrel cellar at Chateau Lynch Bages.
There used to be a large tree in front of Chateau Palmer.....now there is a small pile of logs.
It is too early to say what the damage has been in the vineyards. There was certainly some hail on the Right Bank nearer St.Emilion, but the Medoc mainly had tree issues. The Bell Tower on Pauillac church was blown away with the ferocity of the wind.
Lets hope for a calm night tonight.
2013 has been a testing growing season.....Cold long winter, wet cold spring, bad weather at flowering (in particular effecting the merlot vines).....and now extreme heat followed by storms. There is still hope for a decent crop if the weather is stable over the next three months.

If you read recent reports about a a $500 fuel surcharge tacked on to an frequent flyer award flight on British Airways, did you wonder whether this was the only instance? A reader did:
"A huge surcharge for a "free" trip on British Airways – is this just an isolated scam or the beginning of another round of frequent flyer devaluations?"
The short answer is, "So far, with U.S. airlines, it's isolated, but it's the norm for many other lines."
It helps to understand that many airlines belong to alliances in which the members have varying degrees of reciprocity on policies. Apparently, an airline's decision to impose fuel surcharge associated with an alliance partner airline rests with the carrier holding the miles and issuing the award, not necessarily with the airline operating the actual flight
So when I saw the first reports of the British Airways charge I started to follow up among other big airlines -- foreign and domestic -- to get details on their surcharge policies and agreements with awards partner carriers.
Here's what I found, as of mid-February.
The Big U.S. Lines
Three of the largest U.S. lines, each the local cornerstone of its major alliance, say that the AA/BA charge situation is the only surcharge they're imposing – so far:
- None of the three biggest U.S. lines – American, Delta and United – imposes a fuel surcharge on its own flights on frequent flyer awards.
- American said the British Airways surcharge on frequent flyer awards was the only one among its partner lines.
- Delta said that it did not add a fuel surcharge to award trips on any partner-line flights, but it did impose fuel surcharges on award tickets for trips that originate in Europe, to remain "in alignment" with its Air France partner.
- United said it does not surcharge any frequent flyer award travel.
At this point, my take is that these and other U.S. lines will try to avoid adding fuel surcharges on their own and partner-line award trips. But that could change, depending on how contractual details among partner airlines may vary in coming months.
Foreign Airlines, Stiffer Surcharges
The story is quite different on key foreign lines I've contacted so far:
- AirFrance/KLM, British Airways, Japan Airlines, Lufthansa, Singapore, and Virgin Atlantic all impose a fuel surcharge on mileage award travel based on credit in their own programs.
- I have not yet found any important international airline that does not add a surcharge to awards on its own mileage. But I'm still looking.
Figuring out the exact amount of the fuel surcharge can be something of a challenge, because most lines lump it in with some of the other taxes and fees travelers on "free" tickets are required to pay. Typically they make it very difficult for you to figure out in advance what the fuel surcharge might be.
JAL is the only line I've checked so far with an easy disclosure of fuel surcharges: a fuel surcharge link under the "JAL News" heading on its home page.
Even though most lines don't post such information easily, you can usually come close. On Lufthansa, for example, you can start by entering a trip as if you were going to buy a ticket. Once you select your flights, go to the "fare review" page and click on the question mark box next to the "taxes, fees, and charges" heading. A pop-up menu shows a dozen or two individual line items, one of which is "fuel and security surcharge." Aha: There it is, – almost. You can't separate the fuel from the security, but I suspect most of it is fuel.
And that surcharge is substantial.
As an example, for an economy round-trip starting in late February, Los Angeles to Frankfurt, Lufthansa charges $877, total. Of that, says Lufthansa, $324 is base fare and $553 is "taxes, fees, and charges."
On United, which doesn't add a separate fuel surcharge, the base fare for the same trip is $716 and the "additional taxes and fees" total $146. Presumably, that $146 represents the various mandatory tax, airport, customs, immigration, and similar fees that everybody has to pay.
So I figure that the difference between the two additional fee assessments – $407 – is Lufthansa's fuel surcharge.
This little exercise illustrates what a scam a "fuel surcharge" really is. Do you really believe that, if fuel costs went down, Lufthansa would actually fly you from Los Angeles to Frankfurt round-trip for just $324? If you do, I have a nice bridge on either coast I'd like to sell you.
Dealing With the Surcharge
I've often wondered why so many airlines artificially split the true fare into a phony base fare and an equally phony fuel surcharge, and this exercise might suggest some reasons: So they can hit people on supposedly "free" tickets with what is really a fare supplement? So they can avoid taxes on the part of the true fare they allocate to a fuel surcharge? So they can keep travel agency payments down by excluding fuel surcharges from commissionable fare totals? So they can ding contract-fare customers by what amounts to a retroactive increase in a fixed fare? Take your pick.
This is not to say that all huge surcharges are airline scams. The total surcharge on a BA flight, for example, also includes the British "air passenger duty" that everyone must pay on all airline departures – paid or frequent flyer – from the U.K. For flights to the U.S. or Canada, that fee currently amounts to £60 (about $96) in economy class and £120 in all other classes, including premium economy.
If all of your frequent flyer credit is with airlines based in the U.S., your only current worry will be to avoid using American miles to fly on British Airways. You can only keep hoping that no big U.S. line will start to surcharge any other partner-line awards. On the other hand, if all your credit is tied up with foreign lines, you'll have a tough time avoiding the surcharge.
But if you have miles in both U.S. and foreign lines, or credit card miles you can convert to miles in different lines' programs, you have to do some searching. Say, for example, you want to fly from Chicago to Paris in April on a frequent flyer award (I found low-level award seats available on three lines):
- On United, you would pay only 55,000 miles plus $90 fees and taxes, but on only a very few days. On most days you'd need 82,500 miles plus $90.
- On Delta, you would pay 75,000 Delta miles plus $93 fees and taxes.
- On Air France, you would pay 50,000 Air France miles plus $441 fees, taxes, and fuel surcharge.
For any given trip, the numbers will vary by route, airline pair and class of service. Just be careful to check out all the options before you commit. And keep your eyes out for more surcharges: Never underestimate the power of a bad idea in the airline business.

Can blacklights be used for growing?
They can not.
Blacklights do not produce the correct spectrum of light to grow plants.
The only lights that currently produce the required color spectrum of light to grow plants are the following;
Suitable for Growing:
Flourescent (Tube shaped)
Compact Fluorescent
(a flourescent tube with ballast included that screws into regular light fixture)
Metal Halide (MH) Best for Vegetative growth, but it doesn't contain all of the spectrum needed later during flowering for truly outstanding buds. the light shines a blueish/white color
High Pressure Sodium (HPS) Best for Flowering. Ok for Vegetative. shines a yellow/orange color. All can be purchased at your local home/lumber store.
Not suitable for growing:
Blacklight type flourescent lights.
ANY incandescent lamp
(if it screws into a regular lamp, it won't produce worthwhile buds). Exception, compact flouro mentioned above)
Mercury Vapor

I think it may be a few years until buying property from a short sale and then reselling the home at a profit after your incurred expenses (holding cost escrow fees, loan fees, Realtor fees, taxes etc.) is profitable... if it was as easy as they say everyone would be doing it. If there is gold on top of the mountain are you going to teach people how to get it or are you going to keep it a secret?
Todd Toback ""2encinitas"—CA--------------
"That quote by Robert Allen is hearsay by John T. Reed. He blasts every guru and has zero credibility."
I disagree profoundly with you. You may not particularly like Jack Reed. He does have some irritating qualities. But he does NOT blast every guru. If you studied the information available from the ones he recommends, you'd be getting good education, I feel. For the gurus of which I have knowledge, I feel he is mostly accurate in his evaluations of them. The fact that he says "do not recommend" for so many people is just a rather accurate perception of the reality, if you ask me.
He does have a somewhat negative bias and there are perhaps five or six people about whom he is negative that I would either feel neutral about or even recommend.
And his own information is good to excellent in my opinion. Two of his books are within the top five books ever written about real estate investing, in my view, the tax avoidance one and the buying 20% below market value.
Good Educating Yourself*********Ron Starr********
If you will go to the website www dot reiplace dot com, you will find quite frequent discussions of short sales. Just do a search on the topic. One person has recently written an article about it which is on the compantion website about subject to deals hosted by William Tingle. I have not read it.
There is one post where one person claims to have made over $100K on a short sale deal. Another post says that there was a huge discount taken by a bank. As I recall, they were owed something like $70-80K and took a payoff of something like $15-18K.
And it does seem to becoming much more popular, with many people talking about them and wanting to know more about them. I guess it makes sense that short sales would be a pretty good way to go with so many people upside down in their houses.
I understand that they often require quite a bit of effort and take long time to get through.
I'm not planning to do them myself. I suspect a lot of people who do them give in to a temptation to lie to the lender about the condition of the property and the condition of the real estate market in order to induce a reduction in what the lender will take as a payoff.
Think of the model:
1—convince a lender that the property is not worth as much as their loan amount Thus allowing the property to be sold for less than the loan amount.
2—convince a buyer that the property is worth much more than one paid for the property.
How can these two conditions be met if one is being honest?
About the only way I can see that it might be true is if the property were rundown, one bought it cheap, and rehabbed it to create value—"forced appreciation." But many of those talking about short sales are talking about "wholesaling" them, not rehabbing them. That means that they buy cheap, with the banks permission, and turn around and immediately resell to a rehabber for considerably more than they paid for the property.

Where is that? Looks like a town you drive through on the way to Vegas, as I remember but correct me if Im wrong, california city? or mountain city? I was chuckling at the gitmo comment.....kinda does look like it. cheers all

Rell.....If you are interested in a tool like this, PM me. I can make you one fairly reasonable.
Tube Straightening Metal Rollers - SOURCE
Looks like the metal ball bearing groved rollers that are attached to the channel iron in the tube straightening photo are from "Sliding Screen Doors". These metal ball bearing rollers are available at most local hardware or HomeDepot stores for $2.00 - $3.00 each. Hope this helps.
Try harbor Freight, they have rollers separate from the tube roller machine and can be purchased separtly. looks like the McMaster site is a good source, however.
Stainless steel is very brittle and hard, does not take lightly to bending then re bending.
tube straightners
Look into youtube -many tube straightening videos & ways . heres an interesting one i came across=
I have had the task every now and then of straightening coiled wire...thousands of feet of it...and built a special tool using bearings with adjustability everywhere that works OK. The worst problems are that the material wants to flip around in the rollers which is solved by forcing it to run in the groove of a large pulley it's natural way first for a couple loops, then formed straight right off of that, and then varying tension creates varying results.
How that relates to tubing? Hmm...probably not exactly, but before I built that I tried something simple that worked OK when just doing a little bit. The material was held in a vice so it didn't flip around, and then a simple tool using wooden dowels (1" dia.) placed to work the material similar to the schemes above was strung along by holding it against the material then walking backward from the vice. You adjusted the angle you held the tool at to suit. For tubing, something made with straight pieces with radius cuts would probably work better, note the material is being forced to slide along the wood without benefit of bearing which may actually help control a little bit. This wouldn't be a better tool, just a quicker one. Twenty minutes with a drill and table saw should get it built, and a little wax on the wood should prevent scratching the tube. Maybe I'll try that later and see if I'm full of cr*p or not! Mostly I just uncoil tubing against the floor but no, that doesn't straighten it all the way and I have to finish it across my knee. |
i bought straight ss tube in 5 foot lengths, same for my brake lines
rarely do you need more than 5 feet before you need a fitting for a fuel filter or a brake fitting lot easier than dealing with straightening coil stock for most applications you can tell where coil stock is used i think straight lines with uniform bends looks better |
I do believe this is what is in the pictures, and they have bearings in the bore.
3 in. Fixed Single Pulley - Tractor Supply Online Store |
Found that I had other things to accomplish before having to worry about fuel lines. Well I'm back to getting fuel lines done and I have made the tube straighter as seen here. 64 Comet Build for Sema.....Its build time.... - Page 17 - THE H.A.M.B. Not sure who originally came up with this idea for a straighter cause I have come across a few other threads on different forums with the same design. Anyways with the suggested pulleys.
Sliding Patio Door Replacement Roller, 1-1/8" Diameter Steel Ball Bearing Wheel, 5/16" Wide - Package - Amazon.com
The tool would work with smaller diameter tube, but with 3/8in I would need different pulleys. Small scrap piece sitting in the rollers. The tubing is too big, I think for it to be effective the tube needs to be able to actually sit inside the wheels, not on top. I would need pulleys that look more like this, but these do not seem like they would have bearing centers in them. So the design would need to be changed and the wheel would need to be sandwiched like they are in the picture. The groove on these look like they would work with almost any diameter of tubing. They pulleys look like they have a similar groove like the $200 tool in the picture in POST # 15. The brake quip tool. Last edited by Rell; 06-01-2013 at 02:29 PM. |
Use 2X4
Drill hole in 2x4 3/8" +. Put 2x4 in vise --- pull tubing through hole. No brainer and it works.

The modest rally was due to the appearance of a few bargain hunters and a slightly firmer New York display than had seemed likely at one time.
A retail sales surge in May, before the Halifax and Norwich Union loot became available, was the signal for higher interest rate fears to grip the market.
It is widely assumed that Labour's pre-election pledge to hold income tax will be honoured in Gordon Brown's first Budget. But with the retail bonanza, his tax standstill, runs the argument, will leave the allegedly independent Bank of England with no alternative but lift interest rates.
With institutions worrying about Mr Brown's treatment of their tax relief and unease over tomorrow's futures and options expiry the market remained an extremely hesitant place with few investors, big and small, prepared to chance their arm.
Blue chips were not the only shares in retreat. Second liners were marked lower and the FTSE SmallCap index suffered a 9.3 points fall to 2,270.5.
BSkyB was the major blue-chip casualty. The uncertainty about the departure of chief executive Sam Chisholm was compounded by indications the Independent Television Commission wanted BSkyB to unload its stake in British Digital Broadcasting. Bailing out of BDB would, whatever gloss BSkyB might put on it, be a major setback for the satellite broadcaster and its shares tumbled 45p to 521.5p, roughly in line with Lehman Brothers' fair value estimate.
BG, after early unease, ended 6.5p higher at 219p as the Monopolies & Mergers Commission report was regarded as a "score draw" by the market. Indeed ABN Amro Hoare Govett, BG's stockbroker, lifted its dividend forecast to 5.8p (against 5p) and changed its stance to undervalued.
BTR illustrated the presence of bargain hunters. What has for long been the market's friendless conglomerate enjoyed the rare distinction of topping the blue-chip leader board with a 9.5p jump to 203.5p. Earlier this month, with seemingly not a buyer in sight, BTR bumped along at 184.5p with one still-to-be-explained trade going through at 160p.
Lasmo was another in form. The oil group rose 8p to 269p, helped it was thought by a New York investment presentation.
Siebe, the engineer, put on a further 12.5p to 1,001p, reflecting the squeeze following its APV takeover; APV rose 1.75p to 110.5p.
Allied Domecq, the pubs and spirits group which could be a casualty of the Grand Metropolitan-Guinness-LVMH imbroglio, was at one time bumping along at a 407.5p low. In busy trading it ended little changed at 414.5p.
Burn Stewart, the Scotch whisky group thought to be in the sights of unquoted William Grant & Sons, shaded 1p to 62.5p.
Smith & Nephew, the healthcare group, slipped 0.5p to 174.5p. It disputes alleged claims by Novartis that the Swiss giant has won the battle to produce the best skin graft treatment. S&N is currently launching its version in the UK.
IES, the security system group, was the day's profit-warning victim. The shares plunged 43 per cent to 68.5p. It said it would be in the red in its first half-year and year's profits could fall short of expectations.
The group produces hidden surveillance cameras for cash dispensers. The shares arrived at 292p last summer.
The heady advance of computer group Micro Focus came to an abrupt halt as Marcelo Gumucio, chief executive, sold 74,500 shares at 1,853p, netting pounds 900,000.
He apparently needs the cash to pay his expenses for moving from Minneapolis to California. The shares fell 45p to 1,837.5p; they have climbed from 643p in August.
Bid target Albert Fisher, the food group, rose 3.5p to 46.75p as Mercury Asset Management lifted its stake to 5.3 per cent and estate agent John D Wood, which is in bid talks, gained 15p to 146p as rumours an offer was about to be announced went the rounds.
Body Shop International was again pestered by worries about its French operation which depressed last year's results. The shares fell 6.5p to 162.5p.
Rage Software continued to respond to its forecast of a return to profits and share buying by managing director Paul Finnegan with a 0.75p gain to 5.25p.
Taking Stock
rShares of chemical group BTP should be due for a run, believes Martin Evans at stockbroker Sutherlands. He expects profits of pounds 54m this year with pounds 61.5m next. The shares, little changed at 288p, should "regain former investor confidence" on the back of fine chemicals growth and favourable conditions for adhesives and safety equipment.
rBritish Taxpayers Association, traded on Ofex, jumped 10p to 21p. Through a chain of associates it provides a self assessment tax service. Earlier this year it attempted to raise pounds 1m at 28p a share but had to settle for a pounds 400,000 injection.
rDisplay IT, an Ofex share, held at 550p. BT man Bill Murphy has joined the board. There is talk of a major development next week.

Winona County along the Mississippi in southeastern Minnesota has a rich cultural history of German immigration and population. The German traditions of the homeland carried over into the new growing community in Minnesota. One aspect of this cultural tradition was the science and art of brewing beer. Many breweries popped up in the middle of the 19th century as German-trained brewmasters opened their own establishments. One such brewmaster, Jacob Weisbrod, came to Minnesota from Germany in 1856 and promptly opened the second brewery in Winona County. Due to increasing demand in 1862, Mr. Weisbrod opened a new location at the base of Sugar Loaf pinnacle, which became known as the Sugar Loaf Brewery. The new brewery had a brewing capacity of about 500 barrels a year and by 1872 the brewing capacity was at 1,000 barrels a year. Weisbrod died in 1870 and a fire destroyed the brewery in 1872. In 1872, Peter Bub bought the brewery property and built new buildings on the land at the junction of the Old Sugar Loaf road. Born in Bavaria, Peter Bub was trained at the brewer's trade almost from birth. He left Germany in 1870 and moved to Milwaukee at the age of twenty-five to work in the breweries of that city and moved to Winona to carry on his trade in Minnesota. The main structure of the new brewery was three stories in height and he built two ice houses 60x100' and 20x80' in addition to several other buildings. The new brewery had a capacity of 4,000 barrels a year and after remodeling in 1882, the brewery had a capacity of 20,000 barrels a year . The beer was known for its popularity around the county and Mr. Bub became quite wealthy from the prosperity of his trade. He married the widow of the original owner, Mr. Weisbrod and built a mansion in town. At the time Peter Bub was known for his generosity and charity in the community as well as being "a man of exquisite taste as well as of rare business capacity" . The Sugar Loaf Brewery thrived since the days of Peter Bub and his brew and continued operating until 1967. Present condition In 2006, an antique mall, Sugar Loaf Antiques and Crafts, was opened in the abandoned brewery buildings to a very enthusiastic audience by Geri Corey whose father and grandfather both worked at the brewery. "A lot of their knowledge isn't accessible to the current generation," Corey said, who remembers little of its day-to-day operations. In 2007 a Winona realtor, Mark Zimmerman, and a German brewmaster, Peter Boettcher best known as owner of the Boettcher Brewing Company, began discussing the possibility of returning the building complex back to its original use. Their plan was to open an operation that could brew up to 30,000 barrels of beer a year. The pair took their brewery plan to the Winona City Council in early 2008, however there has been no further word about the future of the site.

The National Strategic and Critical Minerals Production Act (H.R. 761), sponsored by Rep. Mark Amodei (NV-02), allows the United States to more efficiently develop our Nation's strategic and critical minerals, such as rare earth elements, that are vital to job creation, American economic competitiveness and national security.
Currently, the United States is nearly 100 percent reliant on foreign countries, such as China, for rare earth elements and other critical and strategic minerals that are vital components to America's manufacturing sector.
Due to onerous government red-tape, frivolous lawsuits and a burdensome permitting process, good-paying mining jobs have disappeared overseas and put American manufacturing jobs at the mercy of foreign sources.
This bill is a bipartisan action plan that cuts red-tape by streamlining the permitting process for mineral development to create jobs and develop rare earths and critical minerals in America - rather than allowing our dependence on foreign countries to threaten our economy and the jobs that depend on these vital raw ingredients.
H.R. 761 sets the total review process for permitting at 30 months. Currently, it can take over a decade to acquire all the government permits for a mineral production project. According to one report, currently, the United States ranks last with Papua New Guinea out of twenty-five major mining countries in permitting delays, and towards the bottom regarding government take and social issues affecting mining.
Without critical mineral ingredients, entire sectors of our economy, from construction and manufacturing to high-tech to national defense to medical care, are put at risk.
Critical and strategic minerals are fundamental components of technologies and everyday items ranging from cell phones, computers, medical equipment, renewable energy products, high-tech military equipment, building materials, and common household products.
The timely and environmentally responsible development of our Nation's vast supplies of strategic and critical minerals will create good-paying mining jobs, boost local economies and provide security to America's economy.
Respects and upholds all environmental laws while setting timelines that ensure these laws do not become tools for lawsuits or bureaucrats to block or delay responsible projects.
This legislation is similar to H.R. 4402 that passed the House last Congress with bipartisan support.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
The Blackberry saga continues with the latest speculation being that Chinese PC, smartphone and tablet maker is considering a bid for the company. Other potential bidders whose names have been brandied include Cerberus Capital Management LP and BlackBerry co-founder Mike Lazaridis. Speculation in the press includes potential corporate acquirers for the beleaguered smartphone manufacturer including , and among others. All of this chatter and innuendo is occurring even though BlackBerry has a preliminary agreement with its largest shareholder, Fairfax Financial Holdings, to take the company private for $4.7 billion.
Taking a step back, there are solid reasons for potential buyers of Blackberry's smartphone business, software and security assets if the buyer is looking to shore up its competitive position rather than enter a new market. As we have come to learn, the smartphone market is not an easy one and the competition landscape is heating up, not cooling down.
According to IDC data, Lenovo shipped 11.3 million smartphone units during 2Q 2013, which equated to 4.7% marketshare and slotted the company behind Samsung, , and LG with ZTE a not too distant fifth. Acquiring Blackberry would add extra scale to Lenovo's smartphone operations and Lenovo could potentially bundle Blackberry with its PC offerings. Being the market share leader in the PC market with 17.3% share per IDC, such a combined offering could help Lenovo pull even further ahead of and . Of course, given Blackberry's strong presence in Western governments, such a transaction would likely to face much government scrutiny much the way Huawei has in the recent past.
There are merits for Cisco being an interested buyer as it continues to build its security offering after completing its acquisition of Sourcefire. Blackberry's strong position in mobile security would be a natural fit for that and would also fit with Cisco's longer move into mobility. On the other hand, I don't see much of a fit for Google -- certainly not the Blackberry hardware business if only because of Google's ownership of Motorola Mobility, which is still generating operating losses. Much like Cisco, Google could be looking at the security business and if that were true it begs the question as to what would happen to the hardware business at Blackberry.
One wild card thought for the Blackberry hardware business is , which to no surprise to anyone has been working on a smartphone offering. While the latest round of speculation points to HTC working with Amazon on several smartphone models, HTC could face Google's ire if this turns out to be true. We've seen this ire before when tried to ship a device running a non-Google-approved version of Android—Alibaba's Aliyun OS. According to industry reports, Google prevented Acer from launching that device by threatening to terminate its Android-related partnership with the hardware company. With HTC potentially facing that, an Amazon-Blackberry tie up may not be out of the question.
Like any good drama, the twists and turns continue and I suspect the Blackberry story is far from over. Also like any good drama, the end of the story is sometimes one we didn't see coming. While I may not interested in Blackberry shares as an investor, I am more than curious to see where the business eventually lands.

Patient Comments: Retinal Detachment - ExperiencePlease describe your experience with retinal detachment.
Comment from: MT, 55-64 Male (Patient)
Published: November 29
On a Sunday, I began to notice an area near the nose-side of my left eye. The area was gray, but I could see through it. By Monday, the area had grown to cover the center of my eye. On Monday, I saw my optometrist who referred me to a retinal specialist. The next day, I visited the specialist who immediately diagnosed me with a retinal tear and performed a procedure involving freezing and the use of a gas bubble to put pressure on the repair. This was done in the doctor's office. There was some pain and pressure, but it was not unbearable. I saw the doctor for two follow-ups within the first week. My eye patch was removed on the first visit, and I could see that the "curtain" area was now OK, but my overall vision was poor. After a month, I am much improved, but I do have some problem with floaters. I also have noticed a curvature when looking at straight objects that causes some problems with reading; the doctor described this as a retinal pucker. I return to the specialist's office in about 11 weeks to see what further action might be appropriate. Was this comment helpful?Yes

Over Easter, while driving to my dad's, I noticed that I could only see out of part of my right eye. I let my eye go for one week until I went to the ER on a Friday night. On Saturday morning, I was scheduled for surgery. The specialist put in a gas bubble (nightmare!). The gas bubble did not work, and I still had fluid behind my eye. Two months later, I had the buckle surgery. It has now been six months after that surgery, and I still cannot see out of my eye. I have floaters and can only make out some shapes. I go back in December to my doctor to schedule another surgery. He also told me that my left eye will need surgery to prevent retinal detachment. My advice is to get two to three specialists' opinions, and don't wait! Was this comment helpful?Yes
Comment from: Susi, 45-54 Male (Patient)

I have severe myopia and worn eyeglasses since age 8. My optometrist noted lattice degeneration in both eyes about 10 years ago. About seven weeks ago, I noticed flashing lights in my peripheral vision while driving at night. I mistakenly thought it was a vehicle moving into my lane! Later that evening what appeared to be wisps of dark smoke or cobwebs began floating across my right eye. I went to the ophthalmologist the next morning and was diagnosed with seven retinal tears and two detached areas in my right eye. They immediately referred me to a "retinal specialist" who said these were spontaneous tears and detachments. He performed laser therapy to "tac weld" the damaged areas in the right eye. One week later, he used a laser on my left eye as a preventive measure. My vision remains a bit blurry, but I'm hopeful it will continue to improve. Was this comment helpful?Yes
Comment from: dmd65, 65-74 Female (Patient)
Published: October 28
One week after running into a glass window, thinking it was an open sliding door, I noticed a small, dark spot in the inside corner of my right eye. The spot grew to the point that it covered my pupil. I had retinal surgery the fourth week after the trauma. Unfortunately, my doctor said it was a floater ... I went to another doctor, and he said it was a detached retina. By the fourth week, the retina was 40% detached. Had I gone sooner for surgery, the detachment would have been less. The recovery period is critical to a successful surgery. Keep your head down, with the use of a massage chair, so that the gas bubble can put pressure on the retina. Looking back on my experience, I would have gone to the doctor that first week that the dark spot was noticeable. Was this comment helpful?Yes
Comment from: ballantray, 55-64 Male (Patient)
Published: September 17
I am 58-year-old male in good health who has worn prescription lens for nearsightedness since I was about 12. I suffered a retinal tear about six months ago. I was treated on an out-patient basis with laser surgery. The retinal specialist who performed the laser repair was vague as to whether I had actually suffered a retinal detachment or merely a tear. In follow-up visits, I complained of discomfort to the eye, cloudiness, a slight droop in my eyelid and a slight loss of peripheral vision. At first he maintained these symptoms could not be caused by the laser or the tear. He finally admitted after six months that I "might be experiencing the symptoms" I described. Now he says the only remedy is actual surgery, which he does not recommend. He says that I am virtually certain to develop a cataract down the road that will require further surgery and contacts, which I did not tolerate well 20 years ago when I last tried them. Further, he thinks it likely I will develop other retinal tears, stating that nearsightedness is a strong risk factor for retinal tears and detachments. I felt like he did not even believe me at first and then was too narrowly focused on the retina and not on my eye's overall health or function. I don't know whether I should now seek out an ophthalmologist for my general eye care and questions about its overall condition and continue to see him on a follow-up basis or whether an optician will do, as before. All he would say was that I was probably entitled to a new pair of glasses under my insurance since the affected eye had definitely lost some acuity. Was this comment helpful?Yes

Hi Mark and superhkm,
Mark, Fortunately, it doesn't appear that the shaft is bent. It spins freely and without any noise, so I am not really concerned about being able to make it do what I want. You are correct that the terminals slip fit onto a brush post. My issue is that the terminal broke off taking with it one side of the slip fit portion. So, now there are only 3 of the 4 sides holding it in place. I think I am going to need to solder directly to the brush post to get a solid connection. Not the end of the world, but not what you want to do to a new motor. superhkm, PM me and lets figure out what, if anything, is reasonable. I don't want this to have to come out of your pocket. I know how much effort goes into making a GB happen. DaveM |

Just as a progress report. We have the program done and are waiting for time on the machine. I believe it is time that people start sending me their addresses and info.
Bas Hornman, are you still up for doing a Euro distribution? So, Please Personal message me with you name, address, quantity of pulleys. I think that Paypal will work the best for me, but I am open to other methods if necessary. I think I am going to stick with $10 per pulley plus shipping. If there is any profit after fairly compensating my place of work, I will make it a donation to DIYAudio. DaveM |

Just a little tease. One pulley is done. All of the pulleys are not done yet only one. I need to clean up the tops of them from where the lathe left a little nub. It appears that we have a total of 39 pulleys that are nice and tight. I also have 5 that were setup parts that are a bit looser fit than the others. These could be used by people with the ability to tap them and use a couple set screws to locate the pulley. Our initial list was for 40 pulleys. So..... at this point I think we need to make this a first come first served situation. If you have not PM'd me, get on it.
For those who wanted to increase their quantity, I think we will wait until all those who initially responded have a chance to actually claim their pulley. So, things went fine with the machining. But there was one bump in the road. The general manager walked through the shop as the parts were being run and asked "what are those?" Ooops!!! I felt like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar. It appears that we now may need to pay the shop a few more pennies once she gets done with figuring shop rates and blah de blah. I think we will be OK, but I may need to collect a dollar or two more per pulley to make the GM happy. We will see. I will try and get the ends finished as soon as I can. DaveM Here are those accounted for: tmegaard 1 fortytwo 1 cwise 4 ZUM911 1 Michi124 3 sklimek 1 astro_nut 3 Seth Hensel 2 increase to 4 DaveM 1 superhkm 3 mjounot 1 WT 1 increase to 2 hov 1 Eric Weitzman 1 Those unaccounted for: markgall 2 SisterOfMercy 2 Rich Christie 1 Patriz 3 Bas Horneman 3 ARAD 2 DIYFan 1 john2 2 |

binary compatible
Having the exact same data format, down to the binary level. That is, two files that are binary compatible will have the same pattern of zeroes and ones in the data portion of the file. The file header, however, may be different.The term is used most commonly to state that data files produced by one application are exactly the same as data files produced by another application. For example, many software companies now produce applications for Windows and the Macintosh that are binary compatible, which means that a file produced in a Windows environment is interchangeable with a file produced on a Macintosh. This avoids many of the conversion problems caused by importing and exporting data.

Feed Loader,
Tiny town of Madelia uses state grant to try to cut soda consumption
- Article by: JEREMY OLSON
- Star Tribune
- November 10, 2013 - 7:18 AM
Little Madelia is taking on Big Soda.
Leaders in the southwest Minnesota community will use a $57,000 Statewide Health Improvement (SHIP) grant in a campaign to persuade people to put down their 32-ounce Mountain Dews and pick up flavored water once in a while.
"It's not just … saying, 'Don't drink Pepsi because it's bad for you.' It's about giving them options," said Chera Sevcik, who supervises SHIP-funded projects in Faribault, Martin and Watonwan counties. "People get stuck in their ruts. It's easy to go into the local convenience store to grab a soda. … It's easy and it's cheap and it tastes good."
The dilemma in Madelia is how to make healthy alternatives as easy, cheap and tasty.
The project is a small piece of the state's unusual SHIP program, which was created by the Legislature in 2008 and will spend $30 million over the next two years to improve the health habits of Minnesotans and reduce unhealthy habits such as eating junk food or smoking.
Few small towns have tried a mass approach to curbing consumption of unhealthy beverages. Madelia is patterning its efforts after Boston's "Rethink Your Drink" campaign.
Sevcik will ask convenience store operators to make healthy drinks affordable and as visible as flashy soda dispensers.
Workplaces could provide alternatives to soda, she added, noting that one company has cut workers' use of a snack machine by offering fruit, nuts and yogurt.
The campaign fits a community with a growing number of Hispanic residents, who are statistically more likely to be obese and suffer related ailments. Surveys in 2010 also showed higher rates of soda consumption and obesity among high-schoolers in Watonwan County, where Madelia is located.
