How is my case evaluated?
Your case will always be personally evaluated, by an experienced ILLINOIS ATTORNEY, and not by an associate, a paralegal, or an out-of-state representative. You will always get a fair and complete assessment of your case (the good and bad facts about your case), how the law applies to your case, the possible outcomes of your case, and no-nonsense advice always from and by an experienced Illinois lemon law attorney who not only practices lemon law in Illinois, but also knows how to process your claim, how litigate your claim in Illinois courts if needed.
What do you need to a FREE evaluation my case?
Initially, all that is necessary are all your repair orders you received from repair facilities that have performed repairs to your vehicle. If you do not have your repair orders, a service history or warranty history may be obtained from the dealership you have brought your vehicle for repair. You can fax your repair orders and contact information for a free case review at (312) 962-8800.
Other helpful information (though not necessary for a evaluation of your case) include your current registration, your purchase documents, car rental receipts, towing receipts, and recalls you may have received in the mail regarding your vehicle. All documents and contact information received are kept with strict confidence not shared per our privacy policy.
What is a repair order?
A repair order (or service order or work order) is a document from the manufacturers authorized dealership or repair facility gives to you upon the completion of your repair visit. This may become evidence or proof of the manufacturers attempts and/or failure to repair the defect you have complained about. It should document your vehicles deficiencies, your complaints, the repairs performed, and state the date and time you left your vehicle for repair and the date you pick it up. Do not leave the facility without a copy of your repair order and make sure it accurately states your complaints and the amount of time it was at the dealership.
My vehicle was not bought new. Do lemon laws still apply to my case?
Possibly. Because each case is different, contact us today for a free case evaluation regarding your case.
Do I have rights if I leased my vehicle?
In one word - Absolutely! Contact us today for a free case evaluation regarding your case.
What are TSBs and recalls?
TSBs (Technical Sservice Bulletin or sometimes called service bulletin) is generally written communication from the manufacturer to the dealership to make aware of certain technical issues or customer complaints, and to inform the dealership technician to remedy or repair common problems and/or defects encountered with a specific vehicle. Generally, this information is not disclosed to the public though access to some of this information may be obtained through www.nhtsa.gov. Keep in mind that some manufacturers voluntarily submit technical service bulletins, while some do not.
Similar to TSBs, recalls are generally communications between a manufacturer and its authorized dealership to perform preventative repairs or replacement of parts to a vehicle prior to the manifestation of a common problem and/or defect with a specific vehicle, some of which may be dangerous. While some recalls are mandatory and compulsive, others are not.
Contact us today to find out how TSBs and recalls may be used in your lemon law case.
Will a car manufacturer buy back my vehicle?
The answer to this question depends on the facts and circumstances of each case. Depending on the circumstances, some manufacturers may offer this relief, some will not and do not have to by law. Keep in mind that a buy-back may not even be desirable in your case and in your situation. Your goals in your case may be vastly different after learning information about your case after a discussion with us. Contact us today for a free case evaluation regarding your case.
GM and Chrysler filed for bankruptcy. Do I still have a case?

Pros: A cool way to shoot Silly String.
Cons: Water bottle barely works, Silly String is flammable and hard to clean up.
Walking through any toy aisle, its easy to see just how popular the Spiderman movie actually was. Aisles are crammed with official toys and games, some of which are cool others are total and complete nonsense (Soccer Hero Spiderman?!? Hello?). One of the most popular toys spawned from the movie is the Toy Biz Spider Man Dual Action Web Blaster.
The Spider Man Web Blaster consists of five parts: the blue, hard plastic holster which holds the ammo containers and straps to the arm of the user, 2 cans of web blaster ammo, a spraying water bottle, one glove that looks like it was stolen directly from the Columbia Pictures props department, and a can cover to hide the cans of ammunition. The dual action in the title comes from the toys ability to function with both the web blaster ammo and the water bottle.
Setting up the web blaster for use is fairly easy. Simply lace the holster straps through the glove, put on the glove and lock the strap to keep the holster in place, and lock a can of web blaster ammo into position in the holster. Next, line up the cans valve with the pressure point on the triggering mechanism and place the can cover over the can to hide it and complete the look. The device is activated the same way Peter Parker does it; pressing the trigger points in the palm of the glove with the middle and ring fingers levers force against the can valve and causes the purple string to fly out. Fans of the friendly neighborhood web-slinger will love to have this web shooter, and its great for adding extra oomph to any child or adult Spiderman costume. Adults probably wont be able to fit their hands into the kids sized glove, but they can always just separate the glove from the holster and strap it to any garment. Theoretically the procedure is almost the same for the water bottle sprayer.
I say theoretically because though we were able to set up the water blaster correctly per the instructions, getting the water bottle to actually squirt was something different entirely. Once we got the bottle filled and snapped into place, the only thing it did was leak. After fiddling with it for half an hour I got some water to squirt out about six inches, but that was it. I pulled out the water bottle and snapped a can of web fluid back in and the kids were good to go.
In addition, ltrain brought up an excellent point in his review of this product. The cans of Web Blaster Ammo are really just cans of Silly String with a Spider Man license, but regular Silly String cans will not work in this without the special caps that are only on the Web Blaster ammo cans. To save yourself the hassle of running around trying to locate hard-to-find Web Blaster Ammo Refills, make sure you remove and save the special caps before you toss the empty canisters so that you can just slap them onto regular, easy to find cans of the silly stuff.
Also, anyone who has ever messed with Silly String can tell you that this junk sticks to anything and is hard as hell to clean up. If youre picky about having purple crusty stuff all over your walls, ceilings, and embedded in your carpet, you may want to consider telling the kids that they can only play with this outside. Another thing to be aware of with this toy is that the Silly String is indeed flammable, so make sure that children dont play with this near an open flame, such as lit birthday candles for example. One poorly aimed shot and silly string turns to Silly Napalm, and youll be opening the rest of the presents in the ER.
But, when all's said and done, the Toy Biz Spider Man: Dual Action Web Blaster is really just a fancy way to shoot silly string and water. The Spiderman stuff is a cool twist on it, but silly string and water fights are fun regardless of a comic book license. Get this, if your kid is a Spiderman fanatic, but if not, save your money and just buy a box of Silly String.

(I know my eye isn't that bad in this photo... I wanted to put up a good one, but I have this crazy tendency to delete/hide/burn all of the photos of me when my eye is all skeewompus. So this'll have to do. Sorry guys.)
To me, the term "lazy eye" feels so negative. It feels like it's my fault. Like my eye is being a lazy bum and just needs to get off the couch and stop being lame. But that's not what it is at all.
See, the story of my eyes started the day I was born, almost 23 years ago.
I was brought into the world on a summer evening with a head full of dark black hair (who knows where that went), dark olive skin (coming from a redhead mother--who knew?), and a pair of severely-crossed eyes. Cute, right?
The doctors told my parents that my eyes were nothing to worry about. Most kids' eyes are a little crossed when they're born. It would all straighten out with time, they assured us.
But mine didn't.
My eyes were stuck like that. And it wasn't until I was a few years old that God granted us a miracle.
One morning, my mom and dad were taking me on a walk outside in a stroller. A nice man with a kind smile stopped them to admire their baby. It was only after talking to my parents for a few moments that he mentioned that he was an eye doctor, and that their baby's eyes needed medical attention. If my parents didn't take me to the doctor soon, I could go blind in one or both of my eyes.
Mom and Dad took me to see an eye doctor right away, and my weird crossed eyes were given their first scientific name: Strabismus.
Strabismus isn't common, but is also not extremely rare either. It is basically when the eyes are not aligned (not as a lazy eye, but as a rule. Meaning that the eyes are always crossed no matter which direction they look). To compensate for the double-vision that results from crossed eyes, the brain (being the efficient machine that it is) learns to shut off the vision coming in from one eye. Which is all fine and dandy. Until the vision from one eye has been shut off for so long that the eye loses its ability to see at all.
I went onto the operating table twice when I was four years old. I was terrified. I can still remember lying on that bed both times, staring up at doctors with hairnets and surgical masks, trying my best to be a big girl and not cry, but not really being able to help it. And then I remember waking up afterward, absolutely blind for several days while my stitches healed.
After the second surgery, my eyes were mostly aligned. I was required to wear eye patches and do daily eye muscle exercises to strengthen the weakened muscles and to make sure I kept the vision in both eyes until I was in high school. But the damage was done by that over-efficient brain of mine. In trying to help me by shutting off the vision in one of my eyes while I was cross-eyed, my brain lost its ability to use both eyes at the same time. Enter the new scientific name: Amblyopia.
So still, to this day, I only see out of one eye at a time. That means zero depth perception (which also lends itself to lots of hilarious mishaps on almost a daily basis). It also means that sometimes when I talk to people, they think I'm talking to someone else. It also means that 3-D movies? Yeah. Not so much.
But most of all, it means that I have a lazy eye. Because I only use one eye at a time, the eye I'm not using just pretty much does what it wants. And I have absolutely no idea unless either someone tells me or I look in a mirror.
But you know what else having a lazy eye means? It means I can tell who my real friends are. They're the ones who don't love me in spite of my bizarro eyes--they love me because of them. They're the ones who laugh along with my when I pour my milk on the counter because I can't tell where the cup is. They're the ones who don't even notice my crossed eyes anymore because it's so normal to them.
They're the awesome ones. :)
Where am I going with all of this? Let me explain.
I started wearing glasses when I was five years old. Since then, I've worn all shapes and sizes of glasses. I've come to love the way glasses help me see the world so much better.
I know that thousands of people wear eyeglasses. Some of them have Amblyopia just like I do, some of them don't. All of them are able to see the world so much better because of their glasses.
And that's why I'm going to tell you about GlassesUSA.com.
GlassesUSA is a company that sells glasses online. Not only are they easy to find, but they're also incredibly easy to use. They have pretty much every type of glasses imaginable. I kid you not.

Fiji Time: 11:40 AM on Friday 23 March
/ Front page / News
Felix Chaudhary
Friday, March 07, 2014
A LOCAL company has been granted permission by the Civil Aviation Authority of Fiji to operate a remotely-piloted aircraft system in the country in a move labelled a revolution for the aviation industry.
The licence given to Skypix Fiji, a subsidiary of Lodhia's Travel Services, makes it the first company in the South Pacific to legally own and operate an unmanned aerial vehicle in the country, says CAAF chief executive Netava Waqa.
"They have been granted permission to operate within very strict guidelines and they can only use the UAVs for the purpose they applied for," he said.
Mr Waqa said Skypix could utilise their remotely-controlled aircraft only after seeking permission from the control tower at Nausori or Nadi.
The UAVs are allowed a maximum ceiling of 200 feet and cannot be operated within a six-kilometre radius of an international aerodrome and within three km of a domestic aerodrome. The unmanned aircraft also cannot be operated in populous areas or in no-fly-zones.
UAV pilot Salmendra Chand said being given the green light meant unique opportunities for agriculture, real estate, cinematography and a boost for the investment sector.
"The aircraft we are using has the ability to capture still and video pictures for up to 20 minutes and this opens up the doors for so many industries," he said.
"It is ideal for real estate and investors because potential clients can view real images from an elevated height of up to 200 feet or close to 61 metres."
"They can get daily images of how their investment is developing," Mr Chand said.
"For hotels and resorts, the UAV allows for an unprecedented way to advertise their property.
"And the UAV also gives residential and commercial building owners a more efficient and cost-effective way to scrutinise their infrastructure."
Mr Chand said Lodhia's Travel decided to invest heavily in acquiring the new technology after running up a bill of more than $40,000 while trying to photograph one of their properties.
"The idea of purchasing the hi-tech quad copters to do aerial photography came about when one of our directors had to hire a photographer from abroad and spend a huge amount and wait for three months to get an A3 size photograph.
"Our directors began researching a cheaper and better alternative and that's when they came across UAVs."
Mr Chand obtained his UAV licence after undergoing training in Brussels, Belgium and Perth in Australia.

Palace Man Still An Option? Was He An Option?
Coops had, for a week or so prior, said that he was looking at various options and had hoped to bring in two or three players. The week before last we got Marlon Harewood, his signing was followed up by the loan signings of Jack Barmby and Luke Williams last Thursday.
Also on that same day rumours said that Hartlepool were looking at Crystal Palace teenager Hiram Boateng.
We needed someone in midfield and he was thought to be an option, if he was an option like TalkSport said, could he still be now? I think that Coops might still be looking to bring in someone in midfield and if there was an interest in Boateng if funds are available he could still be the one.
Matty Dolan coming back from Middlesbrough would be the one that most of us would like but that's not looking like it'll be a move that's going to happen now.
Even if Boro don't keep him other clubs, at a higher level, are keen as well so if he was allowed to leave without a fee he'd look to play as high as he can wouldn't he? That would rule out a return to the Vic.

Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vagina that can result in discharge, itching and pain. The cause is usually a change in the normal balance of vaginal bacteria or an infection.
Vaginitis can also result from reduced oestrogen levels after menopause.
The most common types of vaginitis are :
i) Bacterial vaginosis – This type of vaginitis results from overgrowth of one of several organisms normally present in the vagina, upsetting the natural balance of vaginal bacteria. Many pregnant women have bacterial vaginosis, though many are not aware of it.
ii) Yeast infections – A naturally occurring fungus called Candida albicans usually causes this type of vaginitis. An estimated 3 out of 4 women will have a yeast infection in their lifetime.
iii) Trichomoniasis – This type is caused by a parasite and is commonly transmitted by sexual intercourse.
iv) Atrophic vaginitis – This type results from reduced oestrogen levels after menopause. The vaginal tissues become thinner and drier, which may lead to itching, burning or pain.
Vaginitis can also be due to mixed or simultaneous infections with at least 2 of the above mentioned pathogens. Vaginitis is very common and most women have some kind of vaginitis at least once in their lifetime.
Signs and Symptoms
Vaginitis symptoms may include :
* Change in colour, odour or amount of discharge from the vagina
* Vaginal itching or irritation
* Pain during intercourse
* Painful urination
* Light vaginal bleeding
Additional signs and symptoms, depending on the type of vaginitis, include :
* Bacterial vaginosis – A grayish-white, foul-smelling discharge. The odour, often described as fish-like, may be more obvious after sexual intercourse.
* Yeast infections – The main symptom is itching, but there may also be a white, thick discharge that resembles cottage cheese.
* Trichomoniasis – This infection can cause a greenish yellow, sometimes frothy discharge.
The cause depends on the type of vaginitis a woman has.
Bacterial vaginosis
Bacterial vaginosis results from an overgrowth of one of several organisms normally present in the vagina.
Usually, 'good' bacteria outnumber 'bad' bacteria in the vagina. But if bad bacteria become too numerous, they upset the balance and bacterial vaginosis results. This type of vaginitis can spread during sexual intercourse, but it also occurs in people who are not sexually active.
Women with new or multiple sex partners, as well as women who douche or use an intrauterine device (IUD) for birth control, have a higher risk of bacterial vaginosis.
Yeast infections
Yeast infections occur when certain internal or external factors change the normal environment of a woman's vagina and trigger an overgrowth of a microscopic fungus – the most common being Candida albicans.
A yeast infection is not considered a sexually transmitted disease. Besides causing most vaginal yeast infections, Candida albicans also causes infections in other moist areas of the body, such as in the mouth (thrush), skin folds and fingernail beds. The fungi can also cause diaper rash.
Factors that increase a woman's risk of yeast infections include :
* Medications, such as antibiotics and steroids
* Uncontrolled diabetes
* Hormonal changes, such as those associated with pregnancy, birth control pills and menopause
* Bubble baths, vaginal contraceptives, damp or tight fitting clothing and feminine hygiene products, such as sprays and deodorants, do not cause yeast infections, but they may increase a woman's susceptibility to infection.
Trichomoniasis is a common sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by a microscopic, one-celled parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis. This organism spreads during sexual intercourse with someone who already has the infection.
The organism usually infects the urinary tract in men, but often causes no symptoms in men. Trichomoniasis typically infects the vagina in women.
Mixed infections
Vaginitis due to simultaneous infection with at least two pathogens (e.g. bacterial vaginosis in a woman with vulvovaginal candidiasis) is also highly prevalent and makes up approximately 30% of all cases.
Screening and Diagnosis of Vaginitis
To diagnose vaginitis, a doctor may review a woman's history of vaginal infections or sexually transmitted diseases and conduct a pelvic examination.
The doctor may take a sample of a cervical or vaginal discharge for laboratory analysis. However, laboratory tests take time or may not be available in some cases.
In such cases, making an accurate diagnosis is not easy especially when it is a mixed infection.
Generally, vaginal infections do not cause serious complications. In pregnant women, however, both bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis have been associated with premature deliveries and low birth weight babies.
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) may also occur through an ascending infection into the pelvis via the cervix, uterus and fallopian tubes. Once PID sets in, it is difficult to eradicate and a woman's ability to conceive may be compromised.
The type of medication used for vaginitis treatment depends on which type a woman has :
# Bacterial vaginosis – For this type of vaginitis, the doctor may prescribe tablets or vaginal gels or creams.
# Yeast infections – Yeast infections usually are treated with an antifungal cream or suppository. Yeast infections may also be treated with an oral antifungal medication. It is possible to mistake a yeast infection for other types of vaginitis or other conditions that need different treatment. Using the wrong medicine may delay a proper diagnosis and the most appropriate treatment, and can lead to complications.
# Trichomoniasis – A doctor may prescribe metronidazole tablets.
# Atrophic vaginitis – Oestrogen, in the form of vaginal creams, tablets or rings, can effectively treat atrophic vaginitis. This treatment is available by prescription.
# Mixed infection – Effective treatment depends on accurate diagnosis. Combination therapy may be the most viable option in such cases.
Good hygiene may prevent some types of vaginitis from recurring and may relieve some symptoms :
* Avoid baths, hot tubs and whirlpool spas. A woman should take care to rinse soap from her outer genital area after a shower, and dry the area well to prevent irritation. Avoid scented and harsh soaps, such as those with deodorant or antibacterial action.
* Avoid irritants. These include scented tampons and pads.
* Wipe from front to back after using the toilet. Doing so avoids spreading faecal bacteria to the vagina.
Other things that may help prevent vaginitis include :
* Do not douche. A woman's vagina does not require cleansing other than normal bathing. Repetitive douching disrupts the normal organisms that live in the vagina and can actually increase the risk of vaginal infection. Douching will not clear up a vaginal infection.
* Use a male latex condom. This helps avoid infections spread by sexual contact.
* Wear cotton underwear and pantyhose with a cotton crotch. Do not wear underwear to bed. Yeast thrives in moist environments.
* Eat yoghurt that contains active lactobacillus cultures. This sometimes may help reduce recurrent vaginal yeast infections. Lactobacillus is a type of 'good' bacteria that is common in the vagina.

Playing accounting games puts red-ink budgets in the black
Updated 8:05 pm, Friday, February 7, 2014
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is in the news lately for an action his staff took in 2013 to deliberately close lanes on a bridge to create a traffic jam. That action was costly to his constituents. Workers lost wages, students missed school, and emergency services were placed at risk. A few years before - and far less visibly - Christie took another action at great expense to his constituents. The action: gaming government accounting rules. The cost: $240 million.
Gaming accounting rules sounds like something more suited to Wall Street than state capitals, but because state and local governments are permitted to use a unique form of accounting, elected officials play all kinds of games.
For example, unlike a business, governments can avoid recognizing an expense simply by delaying payment. That's because state and local governments get to use "cash-based" accounting, which recognizes expense only when cash changes hands. That's how Christie "balanced" New Jersey's budget in 2010 simply by pushing a $3 billion pension payment from one year into the next. Pushing the payment cost $240 million in interest, a hefty price for citizens to pay so their governor can look good. But hardly anyone knew.
New Jersey is not the only state to game government accounting rules.
According to the State Budget Crisis Task Force co-chaired by former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Paul Volcker and former New York Lt. Gov. Richard Ravitch, "cash-basis budgeting is a major enabler of budget gimmickry" by state and local governments. For example, last year California used accounting rules to avoid recognizing a $3 billion compensation expense.
As part of employee compensation, California promises "post-employment" benefits. One of those promises is to pay health care costs after retirement. The promises are supposed to be prefunded with cash when the promises are made. If not, no one knows about the expense when it's created or the debt that is generated if the promise is not funded. In 2013, the state controller said California's cost for retirement health care was $5 billion, but less than $2 billion showed up as an expense in the state budget. That's because Gov. Jerry Brown and the Legislature chose not to fully fund the promises.
Because they did not, hardly anyone knew about a $3 billion expense that became $3 billion of new debt. Unfortunately, the budget for the next fiscal year recently proposed by Brown adopts the same maneuver. Brown could have chosen to recognize the cost, but that would reduce his ability to declare a "surplus" this year. As a result, the state will incur another $3 billion expense and create another $3 billion of new debt - again, largely invisibly. That will take the state's debt for postretirement health care benefits, which accrues interest, to more than $65 billion.
This is how Detroit and Stockton built up billions in post-retirement health care debt before their bankruptcies. Citizens in those cities didn't know about such debts, even though Detroit's postretirement health care promises are nearly twice as large as its pension promises.
Likewise, few Californians know that more than $10 billion of new postretirement health care debt will be created during Brown's four-year term alone. This is why the Volcker-Ravitch task force recommends that governments adopt "accrual-based" budgeting, which would force disclosure of such expenses and allow the public and legislators to "easily discern how revenues earned in the fiscal year relate to obligations incurred in the same year." Until that is the case, unsuspecting citizens will pay the price because larger and larger shares of their budgets will go to paying off a debt they didn't know about, leaving them with less money for their own services.
This is also why we should think of accrual-based budgeting as "next-generation budgeting." Forced reporting of expenses is the only protection future generations have against theft of their financial resources.
Truthful accounting should not be a political issue. Fiscal conservatives should care because recognizing the cost of spending is the first step to controlling it, and liberals should hate the gradual erosion of social services caused by hidden expenses grabbing ever-larger shares of revenues.
To his credit, Brown has mentioned the state's growing debt for retiree health care as one reason why the state shouldn't spend its "surplus" this year. But that's less effective than showing the expense in his budget by setting aside cash. By not doing so, he reports a surplus when there isn't one, and he adds to a largely invisible debt that will greatly burden the next generation. Until governments adopt accrual-based budgeting, courageous elected officials are the only protection we have against the gaming of accounting rules.

#FreePlayFriday – 1/10/2014
Even though Fridays are great on their own, they can be made even greater with a solid set of music. For this week's #FreePlayFriday, we've got five free tracks that are sure to get you moving, whether it's in a club or in your own home.
MAKJ celebrates reaching 200,000 Facebook fans with "Mad Max," an electro house puncher ripe for festival play with its thrusting drop, winding synths, and relentless pace. Firebeatz has released the Doge-inspired "Woof" in honor of reaching the same fan milestone on Facebook. The pulsing electro track is centered around a slow build structure that very gradually raises the energy level before chomping bass blasts explode out of the cyclical synths.
D/R/U/G/S is offering "Welcome to Planet Earth" as a teaser for Echorave, a collection of unreleased and experimental tracks from the British producer due out this month. The free single is an entrancing tech journey filled with dreamy soundscapes and hissing bass. Lone's "Dream Ache" is a similarly ethereal affair, with tribal drums and a tropical breeziness padding out its drum machine hits and light trap elements.
LA producer CRNKN rounds out this week's picks with "Heart." Revolving around a heavily distorted vocal hook, the trap track gradually builds upon itself with new percussion variations added in succession. The track's transforms itself from a slow minimalistic bass with the addition of flanger-laced laser effects, steel drum-inspired synths, and high-pitched chirps creating a slinky trap package.
Listen to and download all of the tracks through our Soundcloud below. If you find any outstanding free tracks, remixes, bootlegs, or mashups, tweet them to @DJTimesMag using #FreePlayFriday. We'll feature our favorites in future editions!

As you begin to walk, look to your right, north, up the hill – Hurry Hill. From this vantage point, you can see the Hurry Hill maple orchard we began planting in 1998. Hurry Hill has an interest in sustainable agriculture and by establishing a maple orchard we have preserved sugaring for future maple generations. Five-year-old sugar maple and black maple trees were dug and planted on April 1 1998. The trees were from and old sugar bush just north of here. The sugar bush was a producing sugar bush on Fry Road many years ago when the Harned family tapped it's trees for several generations. David and Georgie Knight own the property now and they have left a wonderful legacy in donating trees for this orchard. We water the newly transplanted trees throughout the summer for at least two years.
Some trees are destroyed when buck deer rub their antlers on the tender bark. We've tried to deter deer with rotten eggs, human hair, and commercial
products. Snow fence and "hotel" soap tied to the fence seems to work the best as deer detest the smell. Trees must be planted after the frost is out of the ground and before the buds break. Timing is tricky and there is only a small window of opportunity. It will take 20 to 30 years before these maples are ready to tap. People always ask – "why are you doing this? You'll never tap these trees!" True. But I have never tapped a tree I planted either!!

My Keepon News
"The bopping blob you'll want for Christmas! It's not just a yellow blob with a cartoon face stuck on it. It's a robot called My Keepon and it dances and bobs perfectly in time to the music you play it, and it's become the latest must-have gadget." Metro
"The robot, which has been a hit on YouTube, dances to music and responds to touch…'When you see it rocking out, you just can't help but love it,' Richard Barry, a vice-president at Toys R Us told the publication." Toy News Online
"Part of the fun comes from uncovering My Keepon's reactions. Hit it on the head six times, for instance, and it will pop up and down six times while emitting a variety of R2-D2-like beeps and boops." Business Week
"We've been having a torrid affair with the Keepon robot since 2007, his simple yellow shape and unflappable adherence to the beat capturing our hearts." Engadget
"The Keepon robot that we first saw in 2007 was definitely something totally different from what we do know about robots, and with a price tag of $30,000, it was well out of reach of normal folks. Well, how times have changed after four years have passed – this little robot is now available for home use, and at a much more affordable price point - we're talking about just $40" Ubergizmo
"Everyone knew in their gut that Keepon would be an instant market hit, especially with the Christmas gift buying public, if the price could be reduced to under $50, but it seemed like an impossible challenge. That's where WOW! Stuff, a UK based toy development company came in. They have a passion for turning neat concepts, usually involving some unique technology or robotics, into marketable and affordable products." Robot Dreams
"This cute robot is around 10 inches in height and can dance and respond to touch…Toys R Us - the US toy retailing giant is betting big on My Keepon becoming the best selling toy of Christmas 2011." Squidoo

I have long since stopped with putting the sort of emphasis on my birthday as I did when I was younger. The attention it draws as I'm waiting to blow out the candles on my cake is something I would rather skip. Not because I'm afraid of getting older (quite the opposite, every year is one year closer to me retiring) but I am much happier spending the day with my wife and kids, blowing out candles on a small cake my kids helped to make, and opening whatever homemade gifts and cards they made me. Quietly.
I get much more joy celebrating other people's birthdays. It gives me an incredible thrill to watch my kids blow out the candles on their cake and tear in to their gifts like wild raccoons digging through a garbage can. I love waking my wife up on her birthday to breakfast in bed, one of Hallmark's finest cards, and treating her to an 'Alicia' day (which would include keeping the kids under lock and key).
While my wife doesn't need a stack of presents or an 8 tiered cake to celebrate her birthday, she does enjoy the celebration of her birth. In fact, she enjoys it a lot. Sometimes, she has gotten a little carried away with when the celebration should begin. Every year it seems like her birthday gets to be more and more like Christmas as the recognition of the day starts further and further from the actual day (Christmas starts somewhere around Halloween now right?). While the early calls for her birthday are all in good fun, my wife is not shy about pointing out her impending birthday, sometimes weeks in advance.
Thursday, November 1st. Sometime after the kids went to bed.
"You know it's my birthday soon." I wasn't sure if my wife was making a statement or asking me a question?
"By soon do you mean 3 weeks?" I am hoping our children didn't ask their mother for help when they were doing time in Math class.
"That's soon!" There are moments during conversations in a marriage when one spouse can end an impending argument by simply agreeing with the other spouse.
"I guess compared to Christmas in 2016 it's soon." I ignored that moment.
"That's just mean. I think we should be celebrating my birthday as a month instead of a day." This is the kind of declaration that could kick start a revolution in a third world country.
"A month? Since when does your birthday last as long as Lent? I was planning on a few hours the Sunday before your actual birth day." If you haven't noticed, I'm a big fan of throwing gasoline on fire.
"You don't have to be a jerk about it. I was just kidding. God, just forget it." Time to get the fire extinguishers out.
"I was kidding sweetheart. Come on, what do you want to do for your birthday?"
"Nothing." Next to 'I don't care' and 'Do I look fat in this dress'; 'nothing' may be the most booby trapped answer in the history of marriage.
"When you say nothing, do you mean nothing or do you mean 'nothing I'm going to tell you, you had just better figure it out from the clues I've dropped about what I want since April'?" I've reached a stage in my marriage where I feel comfortable asking these sorts of questions without having to duck a flying frying pan.
"I don't want anything or have to do anything! I mean there are some things I would like but I don't need anything." I noticed she made sure to be the emphasis on 'like' and 'need'.
"So what would you like?" I'm a man of action; I figure its best to get to the point.
"Nothing." She wants to see if I'll call her bluff.
"Ok. Nothing it is." I called her bluff and I raised her.
"How about a card and dinner? You think you could swing that Romeo?" It's been said; the truth shall set you free.
"Now that I can do Juliet." It would take some logistical work with the kids but I could pull it off.
"Since you're asking, I want to add one more thing and I want to add it for this weekend." I am tempted to let her know I hold a veto power on any amendments to this list but I'm intrigued at what it could be.
"This weekend? Now you're talking. Are we sending the kids to sleepover somewhere so we can…ya know…" To really drive this home, I'm rubbing my hands together and rapidly raising my eyebrows up and down.
"No you idiot. I was thinking you would let me sleep in on Sunday?" Veto! Veto!
"Really? Didn't you just say you didn't want anything for your birthday?" I'm back pedaling. Shamelessly.
"Nice. You know how hard I work during the week? The leastyoucoulddoisletmesleepinsinceIamtheonewhowakesupwithHannahatsixam…" When the speed of my wife's words increases to the point of seeming like a 3 minute diatribe is one word, I know I could be in trouble.
"Ok. You sleep in this Sunday but I'm considering this one of your presents." This might be a better present than the homemade coupon for one free hug I gave thought to giving to her.
"I changed my mind. I want 3 more presents. You can give them to me every Sunday this month." One of the things I love most about my wife is she is a total smartass.
"I changed my mind too. I'm going back to getting you nothing."
My wife didn't say anything; she merely gave me a look that Superman uses right before he unleashes his heat vision.
"Can I change my mind again?" Some jokes are funnier in your head than when they are actually spoken.
"You had better."
"What I was going to say, what I wanted you to know; because there is no one I love with the passion I love you with and because of who you are, the sacrifices you make, your love, your emotion, for what you give to me, the kids, and our entire family, it makes no difference whether or not it is your birthday, I celebrate your life every day. Because every day we're together, you make my life so much better. Oh, and you can sleep in this Sunday. Happy Birthday Sweetheart."

The Hawkeye Area Child Care Provider's Network, or HACCPN, is an organization of and for family child care providers in east central Iowa. This organization seeks to promote public recognition of the child care profession in addition to offering many services for child care providers.
As professional child care providers and early educators, we are making a significant contribution to the quality of life of the children in our communities. Public awareness is brought about through the education of parents on all facets of child care, from the selection of a provider to parent/provider communication.
The process of finding and securing quality child care is something that should be thoughtfully undertaken, but many parents don't know where to begin. HACCPN is here to help.
Perhaps the greatest beneficiaries of HACCPN are the child care providers. HACCPN offers many opportunities for continuing education while joining a support network of other professionals. At the monthly HACCPN meetings, there are guest speakers who relay information about pertinent child care topics. Providers are able to socialize with other providers and participate in problem solving as well as information sharing. Experienced providers act as mentors for new providers.
All members of HACCPN receive a certificate of membership. In addition, all members receive a quarterly newsletter filled with informative articles and expert tips. The association has also established a library of reference files that may be checked out by any member. The library includes such things as: sample contracts and forms, handbooks and policies, tax information, activity resource books, a variety of articles dealing with all aspects of child care, early childhood and storybook bibliographies, handouts from previous guest speakers, child care internet resources, video tapes, and many other types of child care related information.
Members in good standing also obtain the privilege of security access to our client base where parents request child care referrals. Furthermore, HACCPN helps to keep providers up to date with current Department of Human Services requirements for registration and promotes other organizations that offer opportunities for continuing education.
The Hawkeye Area Child Care Providers' Network is changing the way our community views child care. Child Care is a profession that must be given the respect it deserves. Iowa's children are its most valuable resource. Their future depends upon our commitment to provide them with the best opportunities during their important early years.
Through awareness and education, HACCPN will strive to assist providers in enhancing the quality of their child care programs and to help the public view quality child care as an essential component in the life of each and every child.

What is in this article?:
Beneforté, a new kind of broccoli sold in the U.K., contains much more cancer-fighting nutrients than regular broccoli. But is "super" broccoli needed? A new study shows that supplements can boost absorption of the key nutrient, glucoraphanin, in regular broccoli.
So why not just eat broccoli?
Because the epidemiologic studies indicate that you would need to eat 1.5 pounds of minimally cooked (or raw) broccoli (or other brassica vegetables) every day for years to get the full benefit.
What about broccoli sprouts?
These could be a better choice, but you would have to eat 4-8 ounces daily, which is an expensive proposition. On top of that, the public health authorities are now saying that there is no way to effectively ensure that sprouts will be free of bacterial contamination, even if all the proper growing procedures are followed.
The bottom line
For maximun benefits, always consume a serving of brassica vegetables (for the myrosinase) in combination with the broccoli seed extract, Rountree says. In effect, this is like consuming Beneforté's "super" broccoli, which effectively triples the amount of the active sulforaphane that gets into the bloodstream. Finally, stay tuned, he says—lots more broccoli data to come.

GCSE pupils at The Towers Convent School in Upper Beeding are reaping the well-deserved rewards of their hard work today (Thursday August 21).
They are celebrating their hugely impressive results; 98.4 per cent A* to C grade passes, 50 per cent of which were A* and A grades.
The pupils' excellent results contradict media predictions of low GCSEs nationally because of recently introduced linear exam courses and huge course changes in subjects such as English.
Headmistress Clare Trelfa said: "Once again Towers girls have done us and themselves proud. We are delighted with their results; they are a credit to the school.
"Their excellent achievements are due to their own diligence, their dynamic and committed teachers and the unfailing support of their parents. We wish them the very best of luck as they move on to the next stage of their education."

Execution fears over drug arrest
AN AUSTRALIAN woman arrested on drug charges in Malaysia could be sentenced to death if found guilty.
The Department of Foreign Affairs said the 34-year-old Melbourne woman was arrested on July 17 for alleged drug trafficking and drug consumption. She has not been formally charged.
Police arrested the woman and a Nigerian man after stopping their car and allegedly finding one kilogram of methamphetamine in it.
The Malaysian narcotics chief, Noor Rashid Ibrahim, said the pair were in custody and being investigated for drug trafficking, which carries a mandatory death sentence by hanging in Malaysia.
A person found in possession of at least 50 grams of methamphetamine is charged with trafficking.
Consular officials were providing assistance to the woman and her family, a DFAT spokeswoman said.
In March, Australian Dominic Jude Christopher Bird, 32, was charged with drug trafficking. The Perth truck driver was arrested in Kuala Lumpur and then charged with possession of 167 grams of methamphetamine.
His case has been transferred to the Malaysian High Court, where he is expected to reappear in November.
Three Australian citizens have been executed in Malaysia since the country introduced the death penalty for drug trafficking in 1983 in response to the growing drug trade.
Kevin Barlow and Brian Chambers, both of Perth, were hanged in 1986 for trafficking 141.9 grams of heroin.
The two men were the first Westerners to be executed under the new laws and the case caused an international outcry, straining relations between Australia and Malaysia.
The then Australian prime minister, Bob Hawke, asked for a stay of execution for the two men, and later describing the hanging as ''barbaric''.
Sydney barman Michael McAuliffe was hanged in Malaysia in 1993 after serving an eight-year jail term for heroin trafficking. McAuliffe was arrested at Penang International Airport in 1985 when white powder in 14 condoms in his money belt was found in a routine body search.

totally for sure release date for Gran Turismo 5 (we hope!), information has begun steadily arriving about the final product -- it probably doesn't hurt that retail copies were spotted in the wild last week. Eurogamer laboriously catalogued every single automobile in the forthcoming sim racer, from Acura to Volvo (and everything in between), totaling 1,031 cars in all.
And just think, as recently as yesterday we were totally worried that the game would only have one year's version of the Acura 3.2 CL Type-S. But no -- GT5 has both the 2001 and 2003 models! We can finally sleep again at night. Peep the whole list right here so you can too.

Brent Crude Blocked by Resistance at $113: Technical Analysis
Brent crude futures will struggle to advance past the combined barrier of a one-year resistance line and a downward channel at $112.82 a barrel, according to technical analysis by Societe Generale SA.
Brent, trading at about $110 a barrel today on the ICE Futures Europe exchange, has been capped since January 2012 by a downward-sloping line, which connects peaks reached in the first and fourth quarters of last year. A downward channel, which has bound prices since mid-September, is also preventing the North Sea crude from surpassing $112.82, Societe Generale said.
"Brent remains overall range-bound," said Stephanie Aymes. "Any upside seems limited by the declining resistance line, which has been taking shape since the January 2012 tops."
The pattern, which has developed over the past four months, resembles a previous downward channel that lasted from the second quarter of 2011 through to the first quarter of 2012, Aymes said. Brent lost 9.5 percent from April 1 2011 to the end of that year.
While Brent is unlikely to rally, the commodity is also being supported at about $107.30 by a short-term upward channel that has bound prices since early November, according to Societe Generale.

California Bail Costs
In the state of California, the bail industry is controlled. Any bail bond is by and large, 10% and happens to be dictated via California law, and set by the California Department of Insurance. A bail fee is essentially a percentage in regards to the total cost for bail, and is non refundable.
California bail bondsmen, and also bail bond companies, are obligated to be licensed and registered via the California Department of Insurance, and only then are they legally accepted to be of support to people that are requiring a bail bond to get a family member out of custody. The ten percent premium is paid first, though, there might be concessions for clients who are considered to be trustworthy, financially.
When selecting to use a bail bondsman, or even a bail bond establishment, always make sure that they happen to be completely licensed. Please remember that any bail bond agency who could be providing a 5% bail bond dues, are indeed breaking California Law, and consequently, operating illegally. In the case that you have a few suspicions concerning a bail bond business, scrutinize them by calling the Better Business Bureau make certain that the agency is literally both above board and legal.
Certain bail bond businesses will need surety that the individual will literally be present at court. This might be a cash payment, or realty. All bail bond establishments must always refund all surety, when the case is done. Usually, payments for bail bonds are handed over before a person's release.
There are a few systems for you to choose from that are accepted, so it is therefore best to inquire from your bail bond firm on the subject of any options. A few organizations will allow you to commence a payment scheme, which will lessen some of the financial strain from requiring to pay it right now. If you end up be accepted for a payment schedule, you could be a co-signer, also known as the indemnitor. That particular person will also be accepting responsibility for the defendant, and certifying that the defendant will actually appear to planned court dates, or they can be in the situation of being answerable to pay for the complete bail.

Main :: POD Farm / POD Studio / TonePort
by jnwtn on 2013-01-10 13:49:11.4480
I recently bought a studio GX for use on my Mac OS X 10.5.8. The hardware works fine (I can use it in Logic), but the POD Farm and Line 6 Monkey software have been causing me problems. The GX came with POD Farm version 2.01 on a disc, which installs okay, but when it prompts me to download and install the latest version of Line 6 Monkey (so that my device can be authorized) an error message appears claiming that 'Line 6 Monkey cannot be installed on this computer'. I tried installing an older version of Line 6 Monkey (version 1.39, or something like that...). This installed okay, but I was then prompted to update to the latest version of Line 6 Monkey and the cycle began again! I also tried updating to the latest version of POD Farm 2 in an attempt to solve the problem, but I received a similar message that it could not be installed on my computer. Any thoughts?!
by TheRealZap on 2013-01-10 14:02:17.5180
my guess is that your mac has a PPC processor and not an intel processor?
support was dropped long ago if thats the case... but you can get around most of it making it useful....
but there are some limits... certain versions etc... drivers are 4.71 or something like that...
can't use monkey... but can manually install pod fam 2.0x (2.5 won't work) and you'll have to use an offline activation for your licenses (access to another computer...)
anyway... may or may not be applicable.
by jnwtn on 2013-01-11 06:12:33.9190
Thanks for your advice. Instead of installing Line 6 Monkey, I tried installing Line 6 License Manager. I started with the most basic one (version 1.01) and POD Farm 2 works fine! Hurrah!!
Thanks again!

Tangled is a Virgin Tale
November 30, 2010 at 11:34 am Leave a comment
I know I'm not the target audience here but I LOVED this story. The part where Rapunzel finally leaves the tower and goes back and forth between elation and despair is hilarious and a fabulous example of going back and forth emotionally in beat 5, The Secret World.
If you are trying to get a handle on the beats of the Virgin story, Tangled is a really good movie to analyze. They are all there in clear and entertaining form.
The more you identify the beats in movies the more easily they will come to your fingertips as you write your own story. Tracking the beats in movies tickles your unconscious and makes the archetypes more available.
Pay special attention to the fake-mother. She is a textbook Hag, using her magic to interfere with the lives of others for her benefit. She is the shadow side of the Crone who messes in people's lives to shake them up and make them get on with their growth. The Hag finds it impossible to see the beauty in her aging. This Hag is really creepy in her dialogue!

Quick Facts: Arnie
- Fights the water
Physically confident on land and used to being good at sports, Arnies often find swimming a frustrating experience.
How To Spot One:
- Often but not always male
swim type 1: The Arnie / Arnette
unfortunately for Arnies, in swimming brute force is not an option!
Arnie / Arnette Profile
The Arnie is often male, of strong build and commonly with a background in team sports such as football and rugby. The female 'Arnette' is less overtly muscular but otherwise has very similar attributes. Their lean muscle mass and limited upper-body flexibility gives them very sinky legs when swimming. This means that one of their primary areas of focus needs to be improving their body position.
Quickview Arnies:
Detailed View:
Arnie Common Characteristics:
• A tendency to fight the water rather than holding it, resulting in a relatively short stroke with a fast stroke rate.
• Often complains about being out of breath and can only swim limited distances continuously.
• Lifts their head high to breathe.
• Large cross-overs at the front of the stroke and scissor kicks are common to see.
• Generally quite frustrated that they are not as proficient at swimming as in other sports. Sometime this frustration is very strong and is bubbling just below the surface!
• Finds relaxing in the water quite difficult (although they may be in denial about this!) and can be seen to be holding their breath in the water rather than exhaling.
• Very poor body position due to high head position, lack of exhalation (buoyancy in the lungs), poor leg kick technique and limited core stability.
• Limited swimming experience and low enjoyment of swimming.
• Swimming speed is typically 1:45 to 2:10 per 100m.
Arnie 5: Fighting the water:
Personality Traits:
Arnies are often very driven Type-A personalities. This brings dedication and focus which can be a real advantage but only if they learn to relax and slow things down in the short term.
The Arnette
Ladies, sorry for the masculine stereotype here. For women, being an Arnie tends to mean you are more physically confident than average and are a good sportswoman. However, in your stroke, you do struggle with the same issues as your male counterpart and our Arnie Guide will be perfect for you to improve your swimming.
Areas To Work On:
• Recognition that to go faster there's a need to slow down the stroke in the short term.
• A focus on relaxation as a key goal.
• Straightening out the stroke through better body posture.
• Decreasing stroke rate by 3-8 strokes per minute to allow for a long, smooth, rolling stroke.
• Work to get body higher in the water through a combination of leg kick, head position, breathing and core stability work specific to swimming.
• Developing a much better pace awareness - "know your own strength".
Being athletic, Arnies have great potential to become fast swimmers if they can develop a longer smoother stroke with better breathing technique.
Stroke Correction Guides
Our full Arnie Stroke Correction Guide includes all the analysis, drills and techniques you need to improve your stroke technique. There is nothing generic or cookie-cutter in the guide. Each method, drill and visualisation is carefully chosen to target your unique make-up. Follow each of the four included development sessions to fit these techniques into a perfect training session for you.

Arnies are one of the easiest types to spot and we're sure you know a few. Please let them know about this site! It's often much easier to recognise traits in others than ourselves so give them a quick prompt in this direction and let us get to work on improving their swimming.
On the Swim Smooth Forum we've created a special area for Swim Types. Create a logon and post your experiences and questions about the Swim Type system. Go here!
