Help! I'm going to Small Claims Court Next Month Need Pointers...PLEASE!!?

Well technically I'm not going, but my friend is...She's taking her ex land lord to court b/c he refuses to give her back her deposit. She left the apartment in good condition even took several pictures and video of how the apartment was left before and after she moved out. Anyway, she never signed a contract just filled out and application. She even gave her landlord a 30 day moving notice...However, her landlord refuses to give her back her deposit b/c she was only living in the apartment less than 6 months so "supposedly" she forfeits the deposit?! I've never herd of this rule b4. That's why she's taking him to small claims next month... So do you think she has a chance of getting her money back?!? Should she take the pics to court? How about the video? Should she take it on a disk or show him from her camera? Your feed back is greatly appreciated....Thanks in advance...Best answers gets 10 points for sure!!! ;]

Help! I'm going to Small Claims Court Next Month Need Pointers...PLEASE!!?
i would take both the video and pix..you can never be too sure....if there was nothing in writing about forfeiting the sec. dep. then there should be no prob getting it back
Reply:If she signed a 1yr. lease than she is lucky the landlord isn't trying to collect the remaining 6 mo. rent, which is legally due him. I wouldn't stir up that pot if I were your friend, I would let the man have the deposit and move on. Just be careful next time.

Rate my FF Team? Scale of 1-10, give tips, pointers, etc. ( I had 1st pick in draft)?
Alright,





Lets start from the bottom up:





Defense- I don't like the colts defense this year although many people do... I would trade them for a sleeper. (eagles D are primed for a huge comeback) As for the Panthers, I like them more than the Bears this year...





Kicker- Vanderjagt is having problems in training camp, not that many people know about it, so you should trade him and someone (like Wayne) for a top starter... Remember, Neil Rackers came off of the FA wire last year.





TE- I really like heath miller as your backup on account of the fact Big Ben won't have Bettis to run 9 TD's on 10 carries anymore. To tell you the truth for Gonzalez, I had him on my team last year and this year, but he was and will be a bust... for his calibour player. Heap will have a monster year so try trading gonzo for him.





WR- Johnson is a really good pickup along with Fitzgerald but I have a problem with taking anyone on those top-tier offenses. (i.e. Colts and Cards) Larry Fitz. has Boldin, Pope (high drafted TE) and of course James. I think Fitzgerald will get alot of yards again but see his TD # cut a lot. Same with Wayne. I'm trying to trade him right now... There will be more touchdowns to go around on the passing side of the football without James now, but with Harrison, Wayne, Clark, and HUGE sleeper Stokley (Peyton wants to "bring back Stokley's 10 TD year.") I think the only sure fire bet would be harrison.





RB- Trade Willie Parker. Period. He's way too risky in a "run by committee" offense. You should get a good deal with him and Wayne for a sleeper WR and a top RB. see how that works out. Larry Johnson lost Roaf but will remain in the top 3. I've seen alot of skeptics for McGahee although I think he should be a solid backup.





QB: Your taking a slight risk with this injury affected group of QB's... Palmer should be back to old form, although his numbers from last year were unhuman. Big Ben seems to have not been affected that much from his accident. Surpringly, I have to say Delhomme is the most injury AFFECTED QB on your team. Why? Because his top receiver, most of the team's offense for that matter, has an injury that really hurts a players explosiveness. If Brunell is still on the waiver wire, I really like him as a backup due to his receiver core, Cooley as the H-Back, and Portis keeping defenses off guard.





I'd say you have a pretty good team with a kink or two at running back and TE.
Reply:Great Team... For a four team league you have like 2 1st round draft picks. But a good team.
Reply:Your team looks great. There is no way in hell there was 10 people in this league. You had to been in a 6 or 8 man league. Anyway you have 3 really good RB (LJ being the best in the league this year) WR's are out of this world Johnson and Fitzgerald good lord man. QB is great if he can play the first few weeks and if he can't Delhomme is a great backup, a lot of people are starting him this year. Gonzalez is always solid even though his performance has dipped in recent years, and he could be asked to drop back and block more like last year now that Willie Roaf has retired. DEF is great and who cares about Kickers. All and All I would say your team is a





10 man league- 10


8 man league- 10


6 man leauge- 9.6
Reply:9. you should have drafted a 4th receiver instead of a 3rd qb
Reply:very good. Big Ben should be good this year. I have my doubts about LJ though. He lost Roaf.
Reply:10 I don't know how you could have done any better.
Reply:looks good, where there only four people in the draft?
Reply:10
Reply:thats why cause there is only 6 teams! Thats not fair!
Reply:I'll give you a 9.5. I see your weakness being at RB. That being said its only because your other positions are so strong.





Questions are going to be -


Will Palmer be effective after the surgery?


Will Larry Johnson be Ok with his weaker offensive line?


Will Willie Parker be as effective as last year?





Man you are going to be fine with this team unless somebody else has Peyton Manning, Steve Smith, Shaun Alexander, Tiki Barber.


Who needs some itunes and ipod pointers?

People seem to ask some of the same questions a lot and a lot of people seem very ignorant of their music player so here are some hints





Itunes default is aac. Change this if you plan to use that music with anything other than your ipod. Do this before you import any cds onto your computer. go under edit/preferences/advanced/import change the default from aac to mp3. Now you can use your music for any other program out there, including media player.


If your music is already aac then change the default to mp3 and then you can convert your unprotected aac music to mp3 by highlighting the songs clicking advanced/convert to mp3.





Your actual music is NOT in itunes. It is on your computer. Most of the time it is under the C drive on mydocuments/mymusic/itunes. The only way you can delete music from itunes off your computer is if the music is in your default itunes folder and you send the music to the recycle bin. Otherwise you are just removing the music from the music player.,

Who needs some itunes and ipod pointers?
hey can u re-answer mah Question on how do i use mah ITunes?





I synced mah Ipod to the Comp and i have chosen mah songs but HOW do i download them onto the ACTUAL thing lol.

Anything I should look to improve on?

Rate my fantasy baseball team. any pointers, tips, advice?
It looks like a good offense.


Sexton a-lot of homers but a very bad avg. Probably could pick up a guy off the wavier wires that puts up a better avg but a little less on homers(a more well rounded player could be used)


Starting Pitching looks good but you wont lead in ERA or K's but will be middle of the pack or just above.


On to Relief Pitchers Where you Really Lack!!!


Armando Benitez when healthy can be good(but remember the key words here "WHEN HEALTHY") keep a eye on him


Mike Gonzalez is not a closer(Bob Wickman is the Closer)


Im assuming you ment Scot-Shields LAA Rp If so he is not a closer as well (K-Rod is the Closer for the Angels)


Check the waviers and see if a guy like Jose Valerde(dont know is spelling is right) Rp for Arizona is available he's there closer everyone seems to over look cause of his era.


If not id say make a trade to get a closer


Its a good starting point with a little work to do but not a bad team.
Reply:Very solid team that is well balanced. Nice work on depth at 3rd base. Rolen is coming off an injury and Chip is hurt all of the time. Mike Gonzalez should eventually take closing duties from Wickman. The guy didn't blow a single save last year. Barry Zito is a big name but he will probably be playing for a last place team so try to make a trade for another pitcher that gets more run support and pitches for a winning team.
Reply:looks like a well drafted team.....you could possible grab one more starting pitcher like a clay hensley or wainwright and you will be all set
Reply:1 B : Albert Pujols


SS: David Eckstein
Reply:nice team upgrade your starting pitchers my fantasy draft is tomorrow morning cant wait but anyway its a great team

THANKS ALOT GUYS!!!

Rate My Team on a 1-10 scale and tips/pointers?
lets go player by player


c-johjima is a top 5 catcher in baseball


1b-prince could hit close to 30 homers and 100 rbis or sophmore slump could hit him hard and he could really do bad


2b-howie kendrick is on tab to really produce this year for the angels.....


3b- encarnacion is a cheap 30 homer threat but comits alot of errors decent value


ss- reyes is best in game good for 60-70 steals this year really produces in mets lineup will score alot of runs this year


of- holliday is a GREAT pick good for 30+/110+/.300+ with alot of upside for those numbers to even improve...


of- jason bay is a great young of with alot of potential and always good for about 30 homers and 100 rbis and good average


of- rocco is injury prone i wouldnt trust him but if healthy good basestealin threat and can hit for power and average as well


util- hafner is a beast plain and simple lol


UTIL- Rafael Furcal- is a true basestealer who cna hit for average and decent power at his position good for 30sb or so


Bench- Brad Hawpe- good young player good for 20homers 90 rbis and such with a decent average





SP- C.C. Sabathia- dont know bout his injury right now but if healthy on tap for 18 wins with revamped bullpen of cleveland indians.


SP- Chris Young is a good young talent but im just not tottaly sold on him but has electric stuff could be darkhorse for nl cy young


SP- Rich Hill should not be your third starter isnt as established as first two but wil do just fine in chicago


SP- John Patterson- when healthy can k 200 ...was announced the ace of the staff in washingotn if healthy also good for 16 wins or so


SP- Scott Olsen- olsen is a good young talent that has a good arm and can be an innings eater


SP- AJ Burnett- if healthy and regained to old form can dominate hitters at time good for 200k as well


SP- Clay Hensley- GREAT pick ...will surpirse alot of people with a breakout year of about 14 wins and 170 k


SP/RP- Adam Wainwright- another GREAT sleeper pick has an era of under one this spring and i expect his stuff to stay the same throughout the year


RP- Mariano Rivera- is the best nuff said lol good for 40 saves and an era around 1


RP- Brian Fuentes- good closer is proven and he will grab ya 30 or so saves


RP- Eric Gagne- if healthy could come back to dominating like the old days and early indications are he is doin just fine but wont pitch back to back days right away expect 25-35 saves this year


RP- Jason Isringhausen- is old and broken lol no if healthy good for under 30 saves





Free Agents:


Bobby Crosby- i would say no to picking him seeing as he is injury prone and offense is not scary in oakland


Austin Kearns- no to him as well hitting out in cavernous rfk wont put up kearns like numbers that his potential has shown


Jorge Cantu- yes only if he can regain his all star form pre injury when he could swing a mean bat and field really well...i expect him to bounce back and produce well again with 20+hr/90rbis/.290


Ken Griffey Jr- injury prone as well but still good for 20 homers or so possibly 30 if he can stay healthy long enough


Chris Duffy- great basestealer but thats about all he can do expect him to be a scott podsednik type player with an awful average and gaudy sb numbers


Conor Jackson- is projected to really breakout this year in zona


Jonny Gomes- i expect a big year out of him god for 25+ homers and 100 rbis but average hanging around .260 but if healthy will produce for sure


Chris B. Young- isnt goign to produce right away but i expect a decent rookie year out of him


Luke Scott- could quite possibly start if lane continues his spiral downward





Joel Zumaya-YES TO HIM he will eventually be closing in detroit and can dial it up


Jeremy Sowers- GREAT sleeper who will reallystep up in clevleand this year good for 12-16 wins this year


Tim Hudson- has never panned out in the nl so i would say no


Chuck James- GREAT sleeper who has an era under 1 this spring and will produce those same numbers during the season good for 15 wins or so


Pat Neshek- is a releiver who wont get you alot of innings so no


John Maine- no to him as well because he isnt really dominant fantasy stat type pitcher


Homer Bailey- wont even play much thsi year to start could be a call up halfway through


Matt Miller- to be honest witih you i dont even really know about him


Derrick Turnbow- has turned it back up this year and could quite possibly close if cordero chokes


Anthony Reyes- has been lightsout of lat ein spring as well


Chad Billingsley- id say no to him seeing as he wont be starting either


Adam Loewen- good young talent in baltimore but hasnt harnessed his stuff fully last year although he did shutout the yanks twice last year


Oliver Perez- NO NO NO era will sky rocket and he was a basically one hit wonder due to major surgery








so i would say overall your team could use one more basestealer such as duffy, taveras, or dave roberts...a couple of sleeper hitters that are most likely on the wire who you could look at are adrian gonzalez, ty wigginton, or chris duncan as well...but overall i would say your team has a great mix of power and average throughout the entire lineup





as for your staff i would say that you have maybe one really proven pitcher in cc but your rp are excellent....you could look at a couple of pitchers like chuck james, or a jeremy sowers and id say keep an eye on todd jones and if he starts to faulter as closer grab zumaya right away


hope i helped


goodluck and have fun!!!
Reply:You should drop hensley for reyes, and you need more hitters. Maybe try and package furcal and isringhausen for a better 3rd baseman.
Reply:H2H - If WHIP and K's And ERA factor in Pick up Zumaya even though he is middle relief his K's and low era/whip add value to your staff as a whole.





Offensively you look fine. If Adrian Gonzales (1B SD) is available I'd pick him up too.





I give you a SOLID 7.6
Reply:Very Good Batting Order, too many pitchers considering it's a head-to-head league, your biggest weak link is Encarnacion and Kendrick, Kendrick has a possibility of going for 20 HR and 20 SB so you should try and concentrate on trading your pitchers on a much better 3B and if possible Kendrick but the 2B market is weak right now so i'm not sure anyone is willing to give up their 2B, i'll rate it an 8.5
Reply:Drop Hensley for Zumaya and try to upgrade third. In a ten person league you should have a better batting line-up-you seem to have stocked releivers, try trading one or two of them for some better hitting.
Reply:good i guess
Reply:Your team is great dude! You got guys with severe talent, that bust their a$$e$ everyday, and have room for potential and growth (as if they didn't p0wn already). Holliday, Kendrick and Hawpe are as good as they get. Chris Young and Clay Hensley will be household names by next season. You heard it here first from the Fantasy Girly! ~N

I need pointers on how to talk to a girl?

I'm a junior in high school and there is this girl i would like to get to know. this girl is in the same grade, but i just don't really know what to talk about. i don't really talk to a lot of girls that i like b/c there really isn't a lot of good looking girls at my school. the school that i go to has many differ. schools in it and there are a lot of people that doesn't know each other.


Girls advice will be very helpful and along with guys.

I need pointers on how to talk to a girl?
Do u know her if u do just go up to her and talk to her and look her in the eyes and smile when your talking. Ask her about wat she likes then "BAM!!" ask her out. If u don't know her just look at her a lot and smile when u see her. That is every girls dream, for a guy to treat her like that.
Reply:Roll up all smooth with your pimp limp, and squinty eyes, like you got dust in both of em. Keep direct eye contact while rolling up, when you get 5 feet away start saying holla holla lal alala. when you get a foot away Look her up and down and then give her the thumbs up. Ask her if her father was a meat burglar, then when she asks why leave without looking back. She will think about you all day.

Wow.. thats a great team for a big league.. TIPS - improve on your Relievers just a bit, Valverde sucks, and Street isnt amazing, and Gagne is injured.. I would try to trade Gooch or Kendrick and Johnson for a better reliever. Also, I would definitely try to trade your benched batters for pitchers, its always better to have more pitchers than batters because batters play every day, but pitchers pitch every 5 days. If you want a backup, thats fine, but your batters aren't really injury prone, your pitchers are.
Reply:You are either in an eight team fantasy league, or the other people have no clue what they are doing.





If you are in a 12 man league, you'll run away with all the offensive stats. Pitching is not quite so strong, but still solid.





Agree with the first post. You don't need so many players on the offensive bench. I usually just keep one offensive player on the bench. Trade some of your offense to shore up your pitching.
