  • why cant the plane be located using the gps equipped phone records of the passengers?

    my $30 dollar phone is gps equipped...so why wouldnt a 777 jet be so equipped? if not, i gotta think at least one passenger had a device that was gps enabled...even if the phone was destroyed by impact or explosion, there should be a record of where the device was up until this point in time....thanks!

  • why are detroit tigers games blacked out in indianapolis on fox sports detroit?

    i am a huge tigers fan. i was excited to see that my cable service includes FSD channel. however, every scheduled tigers game on that network, is blacked out. they usually show something lame like lacrosse or volleyball during the game instead. i live in indianapolis and my cable provider is brighthouse networks. how can i possibly be in the blackout area for detroit?? its much farther away than chicago or cincinatti and i can catch those games no problem...in fact if the tigers are playing chicago away, i can almost always catch the game...

    what gives??

    THANKS!!!!

  • contractor botched the job...?

    neighbor's tree fell on my detached garage. damaged most of the roof, and caused the whole structure to lean a couple of inches to the left. my insurance paid me for the repairs, but not for a tear down and rebuild.

    contractor i hired said he could straighten the garage back up before he put the new roof on and stated this in the contract that i signed.

    they did the work while i was at work. i got home and the repairs were done but the garage still leans exactly as it did before....i feel that a major aspect of the repair has been neglected, and i'm not too satisfied with the result. i'm still going to have to find a way to straighten the garage again, or get my insurance to pay for the rebuild.

    i can't sell my property with the garage looking like that...how would YOU proceed with this contractor. he has sent me the bill...

    any advice is appreciated

    and thanks!!

  • my home owners insurance already paid for the damage, but as it turns out i've decided not to rebuild?

    okay real estate insurance experts.....here goes:

    my neighbors tree fell on my garage last july. my insurance paid me the money (minus my deductible) to have the damage repaired. however, i have decided to rip down the garage and build a nice shed there instead, since i really only used the garage to store my lawnmower anyway...

    when my insurance paid me the check it was written to both me and my mortgager. i had to take it to them to cosign for the money, and they made me sign a bunch of papers first. i seem to remember signing papers agreeing to repair the garage with the money.

    what penalty will i suffer if i tear down the damaged garage instead of rebuilding like i said i would? are they going to want their money back??

    .....and thanks!!

  • how much is my stratocaster worth?

    i recently inherited a 1999 usa fender deluxe stratocaster. the serial # is DN917715. it is black with a maple fretboard...

    the stock pickups have all been replaced:

    neck and center positions have fender "fat 50's"

    bridge position has a gibson "burstbucker"

    the pickups are all chrome covered, also the one of the tone knobs has been removed and the volume moved down a notch. the way its wired now, there is one "master" tone knob and one master volume knob....

    the guitar is in really good condition...

    i know this is a decent guitar, but how much is it worth?...i was surprised when i researched the current price of new "deluxe" stratocasters....

    thanks for your help with this!
