Vacant Jacksonville, FL Rental Properties Now Added Online at ForRentJacksonville.com

Vacant Jacksonville, FL rental homes are now added online for renters to search at ForRentJacksonville.com. This property management company website is now listing its available properties in North Florida to help renters to find affordable housing quickly.

Jacksonville, Florida (PRWEB) December 27, 2012
The ForRentJacksonville.com website now has vacant Jacksonville, FL rental properties listed to help renters to find an available home. These company owned properties represent the two, three, four and five bedroom homes that are now available for lease in North Florida. These new listings are designed to remove the legwork involved with researching a property and going through the application process. More information can be found at http://www.forrentjacksonville.com.
Bankruptcies, poor credit and past foreclosures could complicate the approval process when someone applies for a mortgage. Banks and other lenders generally require an in-depth overview of personal credit to ensure that the loan amount can be repaid successfully.
Those that have been turned down in the past for a mortgage could find that the new property listings now available online provide easier to obtain occupancy due in part to new changes to the company application process.
The new elimination of the credit check policy with submitted rental applications is one way that the ForRentJacksonville.com website is helping to build more communities in and around Jacksonville. Applicants that do not have perfect credit no longer have to go through the process of credit approval upon submission of a completed application. A single background check for all that plan to live in an available property has taken the place of the credit review process.
The properties that are now offered online are easily accessed using the new search feature added to the company website. Instead of a simple list of property basics, this new search system is helping renters to filter out data that does not apply to a search. This system now makes it possible to search by rental price, bedrooms and other criteria that would normally be completed by a realtor. This new search tool can be accessed at http://www.forrentjacksonville.com/homes-for-rent.
To speed up the rental application process, a new 15-minute or less showings form is now installed on the company website. This form is designed for renters to use before an application is submitted. The basic information that this form requires renters to submit can secure a showing in 15 minutes or less for any available property guaranteed. This new showings system is helping more people to perform a walk through much faster when seeking vacancies.

Reverse Phone Search for Cell Phones Now Added by Phone Detective

Reverse phone search for U.S. based cell phones has been added online by PhoneDetective.com. The online database now includes cell phone numbers to help adults that are verifying or searching for a specific number to receive information about who owns a cell phone number.

San Francisco, California (PRWEB) December 27, 2012
Phone Detective has added a reverse phone search tool for cell phones to its website online. This new tool is meant for adult use and can search almost any U.S. phone records entirely online. The public records that are offered can include phone carrier information, first name, last name and other identifiable information that searchers can use.
The standard Caller ID systems that are offered with an average cell phone offer records that are included in telecom databases. While these resources can contain useful data, those that know how to opt-out of these lists can make a phone number private. This method of privacy control has created the need for a new search system for cell phone numbers online.
The new search tool available from PhoneDetective.com is designed to offer the public records that cannot be found using other sources online. There are now millions of mobile phone records that are included in the new online search system.
Text messaging is one form of communication that users of cellular phones often use apart from making actual calls. A person that receives a text message from an unknown cell number could use the new tool offered online to help locate the owner of the number. This alternative search method is designed to help more people find information that is not accessible through other sources.
A new annual plan is now offered with the reverse phone lookup services. A person that is interested in conducting unlimited searches any day of the year could sign up for the annual plan. This plan offers a complete guarantee of the information that is provided using the searching tool.
About Phone Detective
The Phone Detective company launched online in 2009 and allows immediate access to its public records databases. More than one database is used to provide the most updated information available. This company is one of the first of its kind to offer consumers access to information that was normally reserved for private detectives or search companies. The Phone Detective system provides online access in a secure area for adults that lookup landline or mobile phone numbers to help verify or identify the identity of a user attached to a U.S. phone number.

Dodge Dakota 5.2 Engine Now Sold Online at RebuiltEngines.co

Dodge Dakota 5.2 engine in Magnum series is now sold online at RebuiltEngines.co. This remanufactured motor is offered at a discount price to installers, mechanics, vehicle owners and other companies that purchase these Chrysler OEM units.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) December 27, 2012
The RebuiltEngines.co company is now selling its Dodge Dakota 5.2 engine online at a discount. This reconditioned motor series is now part of the expanding Chrysler inventory now offered online. The acquisition, rebuilding and new price structure for this engine series is designed to help those that own the Dakota vehicle or that replace motors to save money. More information can be found online at http://www.rebuiltengines.co/dodge-engines/dodge-dakota-52l-engines.
The Chrysler corporation manufactured the Dakota pickup truck from the mid 1980s until 2011. Millions of these vehicles were sold to buyers in the U.S. and Canada and the closure of this brand can make it difficult to find a replacement engine. The inventory addition of this motor online is helping to provide a trusted resource for buyers to use to locate a 5.2 V8 in restored condition.
Mileage is one element that can destroy the reliability of an engine that is not cared for properly. One of the drawbacks that owners of used vehicles face is the wear and tear that is put on the motor block during use. Owners of these vehicles generally have three options to select when a replacement is needed. These motor options are new, used or rebuilt.
The high price of new units and the unreliable nature of used ones has made the remanufactured editions more popular according to research. The technologies that are now used to rebuild motors is one way that the lifespan of use is extended. The RebuiltEngines.co company offers its mechanic expertise during the rebuilding phase to provide a low cost alternative without sacrificing reliability after installs are completed.
The new addition of the 5.2 engine is one way that this company has used this year to expand its operations. The integration of a new 3-year parts warranty has helped restore the customer assurance in reconditioned motors. This new extension now protects the labor and the OEM parts that are exchanged during the building process. Customers that purchase online or offline are now eligible to receive this new warranty contract.
The launch earlier this year of the company website has helped to promote this company to all 50 U.S. states. New pages are now added daily to the company website to ensure customers can find the right replacement. The original news announcement for the launch of the website can be found at http://www.760kfmb.com/story/20238038/rebuilt-engines-for-sale-website-launched-at-rebuiltenginesco.
About Rebuilt Engines Co.
The Rebuilt Engines Co. launched its website in 2012 and has earned its reputation offline selling motors for decades. A technologically advanced facility is where all of the work that is put into each motor is completed to ensure the highest quality standards are offered to customers. A complete inventory of Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler and import units are offered by the Rebuilt Engines Co. Through price discounts and other incentives, this company has been able to expand its operations to reach more buyers that search for replacement units for cars, trucks and SUVs.

Ross, Diamondbacks agree to $26 million, 3-yr deal

 Cody Ross and the Arizona Diamondbacks agreed to a $26 million, three-year contract Saturday that includes a club option for 2016.
Ross, who turns 32 on Sunday and lives in nearby Scottsdale, adds to the abundance of outfielders on the Arizona roster, leading to speculation a trade might be coming. Ross batted .267 with 22 home runs and 81 RBIs last season for the Boston Red Sox. He's a .267 career hitter in nine big league seasons with six teams.
"Could not be happier to be in the Dbacks family! Truly Blessed!" Ross posted on his Twitter account.
The addition gives the Diamondbacks four veteran outfielders — Ross, Justin Upton, Gerardo Parra and Jason Kubel — along with two youngsters the organization has deemed ready for the majors: Adam Eaton and A.J. Pollock.
That would indicate a trade could be in the works, with Kubel the center of that speculation. In his first season with Arizona last year, the left-handed slugger hit .253 with 30 home runs and 90 RBIs. He was hitting .300 on July 22 but batted .176 with 19 RBIs the rest of the season.
Ross, who throws left-handed and bats right-handed, was a fourth-round draft pick of Detroit out of Carlsbad, N.M., High School in 1999. He had brief major league stints with the Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers and Cincinnati before becoming a full-time big leaguer with the Florida Marlins.
Ross was claimed by San Francisco off waivers in August 2010 and was MVP of that year's NL championship series, hitting .350 with three home runs and five RBIs against Philadelphia. He also homered against Texas in the World Series and batted .294 (15 for 51) with five homers, five doubles and 10 RBIs in 15 postseason games for the champion Giants.
He committed one error in each of the last two seasons.
The Diamondbacks also announced that infielder Gustavo Nunez cleared waivers and was returned to Detroit, opening a spot for Ross on the 40-man roster. Nunez was claimed off waivers from Pittsburgh in October after the Pirates selected him from the Tigers in the 2011 Rule 5 draft.

AP source: Ibanez, Mariners agree to $2.75M deal

 Raul Ibanez and the Seattle Mariners have agreed to a $2.75 million, one-year contract, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Saturday night.
The deal allows Ibanez to earn an additional $1.25 million in performance bonuses, the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not been announced.
Ibanez returns to the team he began his big league career with from 1996-00, then rejoined from 2004-08.
Now 40, Ibanez spent the past season with the New York Yankees and became popular with fans for his late-game home runs. He had hoped to remain with New York, but the Yankees have moved slowly during the offseason.
Ibanez hit .240 with 19 homers and 62 RBIs in 384 at-bats, his pull swing making him a natural for the short right-field porch at Yankee Stadium. He batted just .197 with five RBIs in 61 at-bats against left-handers.
Including the playoffs, Ibanez hit five home runs that tied the score for the Yankees and eight that put New York ahead, according to STATS. He homered twice after entering as a pinch hitter on Sept. 22 in a 10-9, 14-inning win over Oakland. And with New York fighting for the AL East title, he delivered a tying, pinch-hit homer against Boston in the ninth on Oct. 2 and then singled in the winning run in the 12th.
Then in Game 3 of the division series against Baltimore, he became the first player in major league history to homer twice in a postseason game he didn't start. He pinch-hit for Alex Rodriguez in the ninth inning and hit a tying home run, then hit a winning shot in the 12th.
Three days later his two-run homer in a four-run ninth inning tied the AL championship series opener against Detroit, a game the Yankees lost 6-4 in 12 innings as the Tigers started their way to a four-game sweep.
Ibanez had a $1.1 million base salary last season and earned another $2.05 million in performance bonuses.
He joins a Seattle team that added power-hitting Kendrys Morales earlier in the week in a trade that sent left-hander Jason Vargas to the Los Angeles Angels. Former Yankees prospect Jesus Montero started 77 games at designated hitter last season for the Mariners and 55 behind the plate, so Ibanez's acquisition by the Mariners could make catcher John Jaso expendable. Jaso made 39 starts behind the plate and 44 at DH.
In 17 major league seasons that also included time with Kansas City (2001-03) and Philadelphia (2009-11), Ibanez has a .278 career average with 271 home runs and 1,116 RBIs.
With Ichiro Suzuki likely to see most of his time in a corner outfield spot because New York hasn't attempted to re-sign Nick Swisher, Ibanez's departure leaves the Yankees searching for a left-handed bat for a part-time designated hitter role. New York's priority before filling that spot appears to be a right-handed bat because Andruw Jones left for Rakuten in Japan after a subpar season and all three starting outfielders — Suzuki, Curtis Granderson and Brett Gardner — are left-handed hitters.

AP source: Swisher, Tribe reach $56M, 4-year deal

 The Indians' pitch to bring Nick Swisher "home" worked.
Two people familiar with the negotiations said Swisher has agreed to a $56 million, four-year contract with the Indians, who used the free agent outfielder's deep Ohio connections to convince him to join the club. The people spoke on condition of anonymity Sunday because Swisher must take a physical before the deal can be finalized. The Indians are expected to announce Swisher's signing after Christmas, one of the people said.
The Indians will not comment until Swisher completes his physical.
"Wow! What a crazy few weeks," Swisher said on Twitter. "Hey Cleveland! Are you ready? Because I'm coming home!"
Swisher's deal includes a $14 million option for 2017 that could become guaranteed based on plate appearances the previous year.
Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis was excited about the club's newest addition.
"Welcome to the Tribe (at)nickswisher, pumped to get ya," Kipnis tweeted.
The 32-year-old Swisher spent the last four seasons with the New York Yankees, taking advantage of the short right-field porch at Yankee Stadium. A switch-hitter, Swisher hit .272 this season with 24 homers and 93 RBIs.
Swisher will fill an outfield hole for the Indians, who traded Shin-Soo Choo to Cincinnati. Swisher will play right, with recently acquired Drew Stubbs likely taking over in center with Michael Brantley shifting from center to left field.
Swisher, who was born in Columbus and played at Ohio State, visited the Indians earlier in the week. The club used Swisher's ties with the Buckeyes to convince him to join a team that won just 68 games last season following an historic collapse in August.
During his tour of Progressive Field, Swisher watched a video presentation on the stadium's giant scoreboard that featured messages from current Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer and basketball coach Thad Matta, who urged him to sign with the Indians. Later, Swisher and his wife, actress JoAnna Garcia, had lunch with former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel, who was at the school when Swisher played there.
Swisher's signing is a significant win for the Indians, who have been in the market for an outfielder throughout the offseason. During the winter meetings in Nashville, Tenn., they offered Shane Victorino a $44 million, four-year contract before he agreed to a $39 million, three-year deal with Boston.
Seattle, Texas and Boston were believed to be interested in Swisher, an All-Star in 2010 who was regarded as the second-best free agent hitter this offseason behind Josh Hamilton. The Indians have been desperate to add power and Swisher, who has hit at least 22 homers in each of the past seven seasons, will bolster the middle of new manager Terry Francona's lineup.
Swisher's value may have been damaged by several poor postseasons with the Yankees. He batted .162 in the postseason for New York with seven RBIs and 38 strikeouts in 130 at-bats.
Swisher spent four seasons with Oakland and one with the Chicago White Sox before joining the Yankees.
The Indians will lose their second-round pick in next year's amateur draft as compensation for signing Swisher, and the Yankees will get an extra selection following the first round.
It's been a busy offseason for Indians general manager Chris Antonetti, who is trying to fix a team that has lost at least 93 games in three of the past four seasons.
Antonetti fired manager Manny Acta and replaced him with Francona, the former Boston manager who has spent the past few weeks meeting with his new players. Antonetti also signed free agent first baseman Mark Reynolds and was part of a three-team, nine-player deal that sent Choo to the Reds for Stubbs and brought Cleveland prized pitching prospect Trevor Bauer from Arizona.
The signing of Swisher will take some pressure of Antonetti, who has been criticized by fans for several moves in recent years.
His agreement was first reported by the New York Daily News.
Now that they've landed Swisher, the Indians are expected to focus on improving their starting pitching. The club agreed to terms with left-hander Scott Kazmir to a minor league deal this week, pending a physical. The Indians still need to add a designated hitter and there remains interest in Travis Hafner, who was limited to just 66 games last season because of injuries and remains an unsigned free agent.

Baseball: Indians sign Swisher to four-year, $56 million deal

 Free agent outfielder Nick Swisher has agreed to a four-year, $56 million contract with the Cleveland Indians, Major League Baseball's website said on Sunday.
The deal, which is pending a physical, makes the 32-year-old Swisher the highest paid free agent ever signed by the Indians, who are trying to recover from a 94-loss season in 2012.
Swisher, who spent the past four seasons with the New York Yankees, hit .272 with 93 runs batted in and 24 home runs while playing in 148 games last season.
"Hey Cleveland! Are you ready? Because I'm coming home!" Swisher, an Ohio native, wrote on his Twitter account.
Cleveland had the second worst record in the American League last season at 68-94 and hired former Red Sox skipper Terry Francona to manage the club and signed slugger Mark Reynolds to play first base earlier this postseason.

Former Braves player arrested on battery charge

DULUTH, Ga. (AP) — Former Atlanta Braves star center fielder Andruw Jones was free on bond after being arrested in suburban Atlanta early Tuesday on a battery charge, according to jail records.
Around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, police responded to a call for a domestic dispute between Jones and his wife in Duluth.
Gwinnett County Detention Center records say Jones was booked into the jail around 3:45 a.m. and had been released on $2,400 bond by 11 a.m.
Once one of the premier players in the big leagues, Jones broke into the majors with the Atlanta Braves in 1996 and won 10 consecutive Gold Gloves from 1998-07 as their center fielder. He has 434 career home runs over the span of 17 seasons in the majors.
Jones earlier this month signed a $3.5 million, one-year contract with the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles of Japan's Pacific League.
