|Gave up on the Lions years ago
Gave up on the Lions years ago and stopped following them altogether. It has freed up my Sundays and now I only have the Wolverines to worry about. My son also no longer follows the Lions. I wonder how many fandoms the Matt Millen era has killed.
I grew up in Ann Arbor and followed the Lions through my 40's but just could not longer accept the incompetence. Not a piece of Lions gear in my house and much happier now that I have stopped caring about them. You will find it will improve your life.

|Odd feeling of unease?
We're kicking BYU's ass but I could not kick the feeling of unease. I'm so shell shocked by the last few years I keep expecting a complete collapse. I don't even want to talk about how well we are doing during the game because I am afraid of a jinx.
I've been going to games since I was a kid in 1969 and I hope we are back to where you can feel hopeful before every game instead of concerned. A Harbaugh coached team just feels so competent, something I have not felt in a long time.
You might not think competent is high praise but after watching a ton of football I think it is apt and high praise.

I'd like to see creative music choices by Michigan heritage artists - Bob Seger, Eminem, Uncle Kracker, Motown artists, etc, and use the band and historical band music as much as possible.

"PEPCON had only $1 million in stated liability insurance but costs paid by its insurer ultimately significantly exceeded this amount.[5] A courtroom battle involving dozens of insurance companies and over 50 law firms resulted in a $71 million 1992 settlement with contributions from multiple parties including AMPAC/PEPCON and Southwest Gas Corporation that was divided among insurance companies on subrogation claims as well as the victims and their families."
Tell me millions or billions will be set aside for the families of the victims in China?
|8 weeks 1 day ago
|Here is the difference
Here is the difference. A US company and their insurance company would pay millions or billions in damages. Tell me that will happen in China. It will not bring the dead back but at least serves as an additional deterrence to stuff like this happening. China is a dangerous place to work or breath for that matter because no one has any rights.

His biggest head injury was incurred on a slip and slide.

Faster top end - 1985 Audi GT - 120 mph on 696 late at night with no one on the road. Pulled over by police and given a sobiiety test. I had not been drinking just driving fast.
Fun but not that fast - 1976 Lotus Eclat, 1955 Ford Thunderbird and 1972 Porsche 914
Slow - 1970's MGB. It was new but slow as hell
Slower - Ford 9N Tractor, 40's or 50's I think

I've owned a Lotus, Audi's, Porsche, Mini Cooper, Nissan, Honda's, Chevy's, Dodge, Jeep, AMC, Datsun, Pontiac, Chrysler, Mercury, Ford.
I like Honda's and we have had good luck with them. That said I think the perceived gap between domestic and foreign cars made in the 2000's is narrow. And I usually found the cost of repairs to be "generally" higher for my imported cars.
The only true pieces of trash was my early 80's AMC and my Datsun Pickup.
One of the other posters suggested finding a car with good maintenance records. I think most brands (post 2000 or so) if well maintained will be fine. I'd rather have Grandma's Caddy or Buick than a Honda that has been beat by a wanna be drifter,

|I will lease on occasion
I will lease on occasion but will never claim it is a good deal.
But sometimes dealers in Detroit will do crazy deals, especially with employee discounts. I had a new Dodge Dakota pickup one year lease for $1200. It was 15 years ago but it was still probably a $15-$20k truck. They did something similar with Jeeps.
I currently have a $42k sticker Silverado two year lease including all taxes and fees for a one time payment of $6k. It makes no sense for a student but not that bad for a two year rental.
Obviously buying used is your best bet.

|Auction broker
I bought a Pontiac G6 for my kids when they were in High School using a broker who served as my agent at an Auto Auction in Flint. I went on the lot with them and picked out a bunch of cars I would buy at the agreed price. They added a couple hundred on top of the auction price as their fee
In this case I got a 1-2 year old Pontiac G6 with about 40k miles for less than $9k and still have the car 6 years later.
You can look at the cars here www.flintaa.com but need to be a dealer to buy, that is why I needed a broker.
I was able to get CarFax's on the cars I looked at. Many were former rental cars which can be good (serviced) and bad (rough use).
If you want I can email you my brokers name. She did it part time on the side so I am not sure if she still does this so I am reluctant to post her email here.
You can look at the pipeline of cars here https://www.edgepipeline.com you can signup without being a dealer. If any of you had a dealer buddy looking at cars here can be fun.
Probably more risk than some other avenues but you may be able to get a deal. But it takes time and is a hassle compared to Craigslist or visiting a dealership.

I played for Tappan Junior High in the 1970's and we still had some leather helmets and getting hit by someone wearing a leather helmet was less painful than plastic. They provided more cushion in my opinion. Isn't there a high tech way to significantly improve the helmet and make it less of a weapon?

So the community college or commuter college (aka U of M Dearborn for example) and good frugal alternatives, but there is something to be said for the college experience. I think many of my generation (kids in college now) tend to do too much for their kids and the experience of fending for yourself is a good life lesson. Handling money, paying rent, washing clothes, finding an apartment and figuring our how to feed yourself - among many others - are good things our kids learned.
I see the college as training wheels for life where mistakes seem to cost less.

|Slightly different
Slightly different perspective. My father covered my college in the 1980's and he said it would be an in state public school unless I wanted to study something not avaialble at those schools. I'm not sure an 18 year old is in the best position on how to spend $200k+. If you can afford it that is great but I would rather have that money in my account towards retirement. I ended up offering the same deal to my kids, I would fund an in state education and they would have to cover the difference if they wanted to go to a private school or out of state. btw some out of state schools and private schools cost less than Michigan in state does.
I like the idea of avoiding student loans and the idea of a frugal education, as long as it meets the needs of the student. My wife lived at home and communted to U of M Dearborn. I do however belive there is some value to going away and living in a dorm.
My brother dropped $200k+ on a daughter to go to Harvard to study anthropology, I certainly would not have done that but it depends upon your avaialble funds.
I think your retirement needs to be funded before your kids education. If you can do both great but it should not be one or the other.

I'm currently using Verizon 4G for internet but since I'm not at the cottage very much the 4G is is affordable. If you need cellular booster antenna check out Wilson yagi antennas. I have some other wireless alternatives now but the upfront cost is very high.

"Officially, Tyrone Wheatley played in 14 games for the Giants a year ago. But the talented and enigmatic running back will tell you differently.
''I quit after the fifth game,'' Wheatley said today between practices at the Giants' training camp. ''I shouldn't have given up, but I did. That was it for the rest of the season. I was done.
''I tried my hardest whenever I was on the field, but everywhere else I had a blow-it-off attitude. I had been given this 'bad apple' label and I broke down. I didn't care. It affected everything else I did. But I have no one to blame but myself. I didn't deserve to be called a bad apple but I should have had thicker skin.''"
"But in the last two seasons, Wheatley has earned a reputation for being unenthusiastic, with stories of him falling asleep in meetings, missing treatment for injuries and botching assignments on the field. In response, Dan Reeves, the former Giants coach, used Wheatley sparingly and shunned any opportunity to give him praise."
That said, the article states he turned things around with the Giants.

Your 2014 VSL Cubs!
The VSL Cubs begin their 68-game 2014 season tomorrow morning with a game against the VSL Phillies.
The Venezuelan Summer League (known as the "VSL") was established as an MLB affiliated "Foreign Rookie League" in 1997, and was designed for players from countries in South and Central America like Venezuela, Panama, Nicaragua, Colombia, Brazil, and Curacao. Players from the Dominican Republic can play in the VSL, although most Dominican players who haven't yet graduated to North American minor leagues play in the Dominican Summer League (DSL). Also, U. S. and Canadian players cannot play in a "Foreign Rookie League" (the VSL and DSL), and no more than two Puerto Rican players can be on a VSL team's roster.
The VSL started with just six teams, but by 2001 the league had doubled in size to twelve teams. However, the league struggled to survive the first decade of the 21st century, and after the Pirates and Reds transferred their VSL affiliates to the Dominican Summer League after the 2011 season (creating DSL Pirates #2 and a second DSL Reds team known as "DSL Rojos"), there were only four VSL teams left (VSL Rays, VSL Phillies, VSL Tigers, and VSL Mariners).
The Cubs established their first "Foreigh Rookie League" team (DSL Cubs) in the Dominican Summer League (DSL) in 1997 (they had been providing players to various DSL co-op teams 1991-96), but the Cubs did not participate in the VSL until 2007, when a Cubs/Twins co-op team existed for just one season, The Cubs then established a second DSL team (DSL Cubs #2) in 2008 as the VSL Cubs/Twins co-op team folded. The Cubs operated two DSL teams (DSL Cubs #1 and DSL Cubs #2) for five sesaons (2008-12), and Venezuelan players deemed not yet ready for the AZL Cubs (Arizona Rookie League) were assigned to one of the two DSL affiliates. But then (somewhat surprisingly) the Cubs decided to transfer their second DSL team (DSL Cubs #2) to the VSL (locating the team in Los Guayos), creating a "VSL Cubs" team in 2013 that added a 5th team to the VSL (bucking the recent trend of MLB clubs either folding their VSL team or transferring their VSL team to the DSL).
The 2014 Venezuelan Summer League (VSL) regular season runs from May 12th through August 4th, followed by a post-season championship playoff between the 1st and 2nd place teams (since it's only a five-team league, there are no "divisions"). Because the VSL season begins and ends about three weeks prior to the beginning and end of the DSL season (the 2014 DSL season does not open until May 31st, but it runs until the last week of August), last year the Cubs transferred two of their better VSL players (VSL batting champion Roney Alcala and INF Bryant Flete) from the VSL Cubs to the DSL Cubs after the VSL playoffs concluded, and Flete and Alcala remained with the DSL Cubs through the conclusion of the DSL playoffs.
Because there are currently only five teams in the VSL, the regular season schedule follows a very specific pattern that is peculiar to the VSL. Each VSL team plays four games in a row against the four other VSL teams in exactly the same order and then the team has a day off (a bye). For example, the VSL Cubs play the VSL Phillies-VSL Rays-VSL Mariners-VSL Tigers (always in that sequence) and then have a day off. This sequence repeats throughout the VSL regular season.
Eleven members of the 2013 VSL Cubs (RHPs Adbert Alzolay, Francisco Carrillo, Jesus Castillo, Greyfer Eregua, and Victor Salazar, LHP Alberto Diaz, catcher Eufran Vargas, 1B-3B Roney Alcala, 2B-SS Bryant Flete, and outfielders Arnaldo Calero and Ricardo Marcano) plus 17-year old Venezuelan SS Gleyber Torres and 17-year old Colombian RHP Erling Moreno (who are making their pro debut in 2014) are presently at Extended Spring Training in Mesa, and because most (if not all) of them will likely be remaining in the U. S. this summer, the 2014 VSL Cubs will feature a number of newly-signed players.
Only 17 of the 33 players presently assigned to the VSL Cubs Active List were on the squad last season. One player (18-year old LHP Carlos Rodriguez) spent the 2013 season with the AZL Cubs, and there are 15 players on the roster who are new to the Cubs organization, including 13 professional "rookies" and two others (RHPs Jesus Arias and Julio Sanchez) who were signed after being released by other MLB organizations. Infielder Humberto Garcia is presently on the VSL Cubs roster, but he may end up with the DSL Cubs since he is Dominican. (Garcia was signed by the Cubs last May after being released by the White Sox, and was assigned to the VSL Cubs last season only because the newly-formed VSL Cubs were short of infielders, but that should not be a problem this season).
One of the more interesting names on the VSL Cubs 2014 roster is Danny Gutierrez, supposedly a 17-year old hot-shot shortstop prospect signed by the Cubs to a substantial bonus in 2012 (reported to be $185K at the time) but who did not make his pro debut (as had been expected) in 2013. Now it turns out that Gutierrez is (apparently) actually 23 years old (at least according to information provided by the Cubs).
So here is the 2014 VSL Cubs Active Roster. Both the VSL Cubs Reserve List and Active List roster limit is 35. 30 players can be designated "active" for any one game (at least 10 of the 30 must be pitchers), The players listed as "INACTIVE" on the roster have either been released or will start the season on the 7-day or 60-day DL.

At some point I wonder how
At some point I wonder how long TheoCorp can keep saying, well, the kids are coming, the kids are coming. Year three and the record promises, right now, to be among the MLB's worst. Couldn't they have done at least something to get a real outfield? I'm not much of an armchair GM, I just know that if I was paying good money as an owner I'd be wanting better results than this charade.
Please don't give me the shit about the farm system being fixed. It's fixed when the kids are on the big league team and the team isn't in last place anymore.
What kind of consequences do
What kind of consequences do you foresee?
based on what's going on with
based on what's going on with attendance and a general lack of fans giving a shit on the internet (cubs boards seem to be slowing down every year, even the popular ones)...it seems the damage is done.
that said, this is the cubs and they're in the large chicago market. as soon as things get interesting the fans (old and new) will return in droves quite quickly.
Rob had a good point last
Rob had a good point last time I ranted that echoed what you are saying about them coming back but I am saying that the kids, the future fans, they won't come back because they simply won't be Cubs fans, and there's nothing to come back to. Older fans will come back, casual fans will come back, and if they actually win a World Series new ones will be created. But if this lingers on then all bets are off. And we all can't just assume that a world series is in the cards. We really don't know that. Lots of teams have good prospects.
Pretty fair odds on the No. 1
Pretty fair odds on the No. 1 pick in 2015, I'd say. Houston will definitely contend, but I don't expect them to drop off at the trade deadline the way the Cubs will when they trade Ninja and possibly Jackson.
The best we can hope for is
The best we can hope for is that Jackson keeps pitching decently. He's not dominating but he's got a steady past other than last year and he's durable. If Ninja doesn't bring Garza times two I'll be pissed.
But honestly, I'm getting tired of this game of how high can they draft.
If they can get somebody to
If they can get somebody to pay Jackson's $13M/per for 2015 and 2016, that would essentially pay for the next two years of ninja. After this coming draft and next years top 3 draft pick, the farm system should be in the top 3, if not number 1. I say fuck it, give him the Homer Bailey contract if you can unload Jackson on some sucker.
Jackson is certainly more
Jackson is certainly more replaceable than Samardzija. Ninja's never put it together for a whole season, as many have noted, but his stuff along with the potential to command it doesn't come along much. I'm dreading the Cubs trying to build a rotation with not a single pitcher on the staff that looks like a #1 or #2, which is what they'd have to do if they traded Samardzija.
If Ninja would sign for the
If Ninja would sign for the Homer Bailey contract, he'd be signed already. I think he's holding out for a Hamels/Felix contract, especially from this shitshow.
I don't think any pitcher is
I don't think any pitcher is worth that kind of money. They just get hurt too often. The awfulness will continue, and they'll trade him for a basketful of prospects.
Meanwhile, all the kids who were 8 when Hendry was in his last year are 12 now, and all the kids who were 12 are...you get the idea. The Cubs are in trouble as a franchise if they think they can ride on the existing fan base. The kids are the future, and I can't imagine the kids are flocking to their iPad to watch this team. If this keeps going, everyone in Chicago younger than 16 is going to have an Abreu jersey.
The kids can't flock to their
The kids can't flock to their iPads to watch the Cubs unless they are several states away from the Cubs...
Also, comparing Hamels and
Also, comparing Hamels and Felix to Samardzija is comical, at best.
Yep, you offer him #2 or #3 money. If some team wants to pay him ace money (and some team probably will), then fine, let him walk. It may be painful, and he may put in some good innings (also, overpaid innings) somewhere else.
i-cubs score 12 runs...baez

If we use money saved by getting rid of Jackson to pay Samardzija, what money are we going to use to pay Jackson's replacement?
He is not earning his salary, but anyone that replaces him will cost 10 million per year anyway, and not likely to be any better.
Jackson can be easily
Jackson can be easily replaced by someone making $500k-$6M. He is nothing but an eater of innings for $13M.
I'm trying to imagine a Cubs
I'm trying to imagine a Cubs rotation sans Samardzija, Jackson, and Hammel. So far I have Travis Wood, Jake Arrieta, and Chris Rusin. The next in line would by Kyle Hendricks, Justin Grimm, and Neil Ramirez, with Pierce Johnson and CJ Edwards some distance behind developmentally. That's fairly slim pickings--the Cubs would have to get at least 2 young SP who slot in at AAA level or MLB ready in those trades to have any chance of being competitive in the next two years or so, and they'd really need 1 or 2 pitchers to come in via those trades who have ace and/or #2 potential, because Wood and Arrieta are 3/4 types and Rusin, Hendricks, and Grimm are #5/swingman types.
Don't think anyone is going
Don't think anyone is going to bite on Jackson. Otherwise similar to trading Garza/Feldman last season.
Let's just get this over with. Make the trades now and get a head start on getting a better draft pick. Send Samardzija to the Yankees for catching prospect Gary Sanchez and a couple of quality pitching prospects. McCann is blocking Sanchez (a top 50 prospect) so he is available. Cubs don't have a legitimate catching prospect. Yankees rotation is Tanaka, ???????.
Added benefit the Cubs could then trade Welly and further improve this season's odds of "beating" the Astros for the race to #1 (draft pick).
probably need a third team
probably need a third team with Yanks, Cubs probably want pitching prospects as you mentioned and Yanks are sorely lacking at the moment.
Similar to trading Garza
Similar to trading Garza/Feldman last season, except they still had Samardzija at that point. The selling off has a cumulative effect across multiple seasons, and it doesn't take long to deplete your MLB team of top of the rotation arms when you've only got two of them anyway.
Of course, if CJ Edwards proves durable and they get a #1/#2 type for Samardzija who doesn't fall victim to injury or wildness or something, that solves that problem. I just get nervous because it seems like we waited a long time between decent starting pitching prospects. Wood, Prior, Z in the late 90s-early 2000s, then nobody really until Samardzija who still hasn't settled in. Lots of disappointing pitching prospects in between.
"Cubs don't have a legitimate
"Cubs don't have a legitimate catching prospect."
Maybe not, but a couple of guys look interesting at this early stage of the season. Rafael Lopez might be having a breakout year (.994 OPS) at Tenn, while KC's Will Remillard (.966 OPS) has done nothing but hit as a pro. Lopez hits lefty, which is a nice feature.

James Russell elected free agency.
based on what SF has been doing every other year lately, getting access to the postseason playoffs seems to be what's important. bring on dat short series!
that said, skipping the sudden death 1-game WC would be nice from here on out.
I know what you are saying, but I feel compelled to point out that there's no such thing as luck, curses, etc. The Cubs this year have as good as a chance as the Pirates to move on to the next round. If the Cubs proceed to the next round or not tomorrow, it will not be because of luck, but because one team outlasted the other. When/if the Cubs are lucky enough to make it to the league series, that's where they may find their biggest challenge. The Dodgers have a good, deep pitching staff.
debuting the new format 1 game "sudden death" WC matchup at yankee stadium does a perfect job of showing the intense emotion and drama this game can be.
that said, i'm ready to not see yankee stadium or hear fans at yankee stadium for another 5 and 1/2 months. at least i don't have to sit through the braves with their "tommy hawk chawp" this postseason.
i'd like to know why the mlb.tv internet radio feed of the game (which is always delayed by a few seconds at best) is almost a minute faster than the ESPN cable TV coverage. wtf?
i dont know what order they'll be in, but i pretty much expect fowler/schwarb/rizzo/bryant/montero/castro/lastella/arrieta. any change at all (aside from the first 4 guys) wouldn't shock me, though. coghlan is still a wildcard in the lineup equation...plus joe could always march d.ross out there with very slow arrieta pitching.
Yup. Have to agree. Baseball, like golf, certainly has that psych component for the player. There is no real reason why a fielding position should affect a batting average. The Cubs are 106 years over due for a little luck. Don't you guys think so? Maybe the rookies can bring some dumb luck on.
probably stacking capable lefties vs cole while keeping the "hot" castro in the game. fwiw, he's 1-6 lifetime with 0 bb/k vs cole (double).
i chalk bryant's issues at the plate while playing OF up to coincidence so far.
I will call your dead horse, "Trigger".
In one game, when anything is possble, I am glad that Joe Maddon is our Manager.
He knows the stats better than all of us. It would seem, IF La Stella gets the start at 3B, it will be only up to the point that they were to get the lead (crosses fingers). From everything I have read, the game will be managed like a hoops game: offense/defense. So expect La Stella to be out of the game by the 5th. This team is incredibly deep which is so surprising. We never woulda thunk it.
i don't know what their roster plans are, but j.herrera is out there practicing with the team.
i can't imagine him making any roster, though. dude had 4 PA the entire month of sept. him being a good dude to be around while keeping the clubhouse loose seems to be his main role at this point.
I know it's my own personal dead horse to beat --but Bryant has been a lousy hitter when playing the OF this year. Given that it's his first playoff game, I really hope they keep him in his natural position and don't mess with his routine.
Lousy as in 8-for-45 with one XBH and no HR. Small sample and all that -- but why take the chance?
hard to tell what's up given they'll probably want to stack as many good lefties into the lineup as possible.
castro being a bit hot doesn't help things. if he was still cool they'd probably stick la stella at 2nd and call it a day.
Madden won't announce lineups but Stella is practicing at 3rd and Bryant in LF today. I'd rather see Bryant at 3rd but I guess Stella has been hotter than Coghlan.
/edit. Though I guess they could be practicing this with the idea Stella would come in as a PH then double switch him to 3rd base and Bryant to LF. Hope that's the plan instead
I really like the sound of that idea about expanding the AFL to ten teams. Each org. gets to field more players.
They should do that anyway, regardless of Adv. Instructs.
Dallas Beeler, Corey Black, David Garner, Pierce Johnson, Steve Perakslis, James Pugliese, Duane Underwood Jr, and Rob Zastryzny threw early-morning bullpen side-sessions at Riverview yesterday.
Underwood threw last, and received specific one-on-one instruction from pitching coach Mike Mason.
HAGSAG: There are only five advanced instructs squads left, and presently the only "co-op" team operating is the Angels/Cubs.
The league was originally established as a "parallel" league to the AFL (a sort of "junior AFL"), for players too advanced for traditional ("basic") instructs but who were unable to get placed on AFL rosters due to AFL player-limits.

That's the true story behind McCain's plans to reduce corporate tax rates and cut taxes on dividends. Believe it or not, the United States actually has higher corporate tax rates than almost any other country. McCain aims to cut those taxes to stimulate economic growth, and keep rates on capital gains low to encourage Americans to invest in the future.Obama wants to increase the tax on capital gains, cutting the investments that drive our economy—and history shows that higher capital gains rates actually means less tax revenue for the government as people change their investment behavior. That slows economic growth by making America less attractive to do business in.
Obama's plan banks on Americans not understanding the basic economics of tax policy. It assumes that Americans would be willing to trade a more robust economy under McCain's plan for a shot at some tax credits they may or may not qualify for.
That's a bad bet for Americans and may well be a bad bet for the Obama campaign. His witches' brew of tax increases for some and tax credits for others add up to a substantial increase in taxes overall. Those "middle class" tax cuts might be paid for with fewer jobs for Americans.
That's a pretty high price to pay for a shot at a few tax credits.

|oral herpes?
Jun 20, 2000
I have tested positive for HSV1 and have had some lesions in my mouth. I take valtrex daily for suppression and have used denavir occasionally as well. This time, the ulcers ar on my lip and tongue and are so painful that nothing has helped. Can you offer any advice besides the anti-viral? Is there anything that will relieve the pain? And how long is normal duration? I'm HIV negative (been tested frequently and have not had risky relations) and I find it unbelievable that the lesions last longer than a month sometimes....and advice?
Response from Dr. Reznik
Without being able to see the lesions and culture them for myself it is very difficult to come up with an accurate diagnosis or plan of treatment. My first concern though, would be that you continue to have what is believed to be herpetic outbreaks while on anti-viral medications. If you are breaking though on suppressive therapy, I would suggest you have these ulcers looked at by someone familiar with oral medicine or oral pathology and possibly have a biopsy performed.
The object of anti-viral therapy is to stop reproduction of the virus. Once the virus has stopped replicating you can use topical or systemic steroids to reduce the inflammation, therefore the pain. Please be advised that any steroid use should follow 24 hours of antiviral therapy as steroid acts like gasoline to a fire in the presence of active herpes. In other words, use the antiviral to stop reproduction/replication (at least 24 hours of therapy) and then use topical steroid to reduce the pain and inflammation.
As far as pain relief, there is a product known as Ulcerease which my patients swear by for temporary relief of pain due to aphthous and herpetic ulcers.
I hope this information proves helpful!
