Very trust worthy and informational, along with his staff!! They made the filing very easy and understandable. Before I knew it, everything was complete and I received my discharge. Very glad I choose the Hayes Law Firm!!

Is this man still in business??? I have paid in full to this attorney and not received the services I paid for. Have not heard from him in a year. Paid $6,000 in fees?? Really BAD attorney!!!!!!

James did not return telephone calls as I preferred, but was very knowledgeable in the area of law I needed. I trusted his, but became a little edgy when I didn't receive returned telephone calls and kept as informed as I wanted on the progress of my case. Jim proved to be worth the money I spent and even though I did not personally hear back from him as often as I wanted, he was on top of my case with the other party. He resolved my issue and I won my case.

Fighting with our mortgage company and ended up having to file a bankruptcy to avoid foreclosure. Attorney Hayes did everything he could to avoid having to file a bankruptcy. The mortgage company just wasnt willing to work with our situation. Everyone in his office was supportive all the through from start to finish and we still have our home. Im so thankful for that!

I consulted with Jim regarding an injury case! He helped me gain the proceeds to pay my medical bills and pay for my pain and suffering, which I was not aware was due to me. Thank you for all your legal guidence and being a friend through my surgeries!

He did not follow up with me as much as I would have expected. Two different office telephone numbers, which directs to, two different people within the office. (One is completely Knowledgeable and the other is not, at all.) Both are very friendly. Mr. Hayes does know his area of the Law, but slacks on answering the questions you are looking for at a reasonable time rate. This is not the worst, nor the best experiance I have had. I would say he falls in the middle of the road.

Help me out of a real estate problem. He knew his case law and we ended up being able to prove the lending company negligent. Mr. Hayes knew the laws, he was there for us, he made us feel like we were old friends and when we left his office we felt like we could breathe because we knew we found the right attorney. He made phone calls during our first appointment. He came to our defense and won our case!!!! His legal assistant is excellent, Very courteous, caring, understanding, and also very knowledgeable. Both are very respectful and treat you like you're their personal friend. Thank You Jim and Joy for all you two have done.

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — A Maine legislative committee is examining a proposal from Republican Gov. Paul LePage under which the state ethics panel would have to determine the verity of claims made by candidates for office.
The governor's bill would direct the Maine Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices to investigate campaign claims, following a complaint by a candidate for governor or state Legislature. The panel would have to make a public statement if the claim is deemed false.
LePage spokeswoman Adrienne Bennett said the bill is his "attempt to bring civility to this process" and urged lawmakers to have an honest discussion about the proposal.
The Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee will consider the bill on Wednesday.

Cats find purr-fect way to manipulate owners
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - Cats have found a way to make their adoring owners do exactly as they want -- adding a little whiney cry into their purr, according to a British study.
Researchers at the University of Sussex analyzed the different purring noises made by cats and found that felines can change their normal purr, effectively adding in a kitten-like cry, until their owners get out of bed to feed them.
"When you hear this purr, you find it difficult to ignore, you find it annoying but you are not really consciously aware of why that is," researcher Karen McComb, a mammal communication expert at the university, told Reuters Television.
"It is a sort of cry embedded in a vocalization that we otherwise think of as pleasant and it meanwhile sort of wears us down. It is sort of tapping into our sensory biases and eventually, just to make it stop, we get up and we go and feed the cat."
McComb said she first discovered what she calls the "solicitation purr" when she became curious about her own cat Pepo's behavior in the early mornings.
She made a video recording of Pepo as he sat on her bed with a fixed stare issuing a distinctive and insistent purr. Pepo would continue this purr until McComb got out of bed to feed him.
When comparing this purr with the normal contented purr, or "non-solicitation purr," McComb found it to be very different.
"It's a purr, but you can hear a whiney undertone and it is very noisy," she said.
To prove it wasn't just Pepo who did this, McComb found nine other cats whose owners reported similar behavior. Continued...

Developer meets deadline on central Indiana wind farm
The developer of a wind farm that is eventually planned to reach into four central Indiana counties says it has met a deadline to finishing building 125 turbines for the project's first phase.
The company had faced a Dec. 31 deadline to have the Wildcat Wind Farm's turbines built in order to qualify for federal tax credits.
E-on Climate & Renewables project manager Andy Melka tells the Kokomo Tribune that 101 of the turbines are in operation with the remaining 24 expected to start up soon. He says the wind farm's maintenance and operations facility near the Tipton County town of Windfall also has been completed.
The current turbines are in Tipton and Madison counties. Nearly 200 more turbines are planned in Howard and Grant counties in later phases.

A Gift for Smoothie Lovers
Smoothies are becoming more and more popular as a healthy on the go meal option. Those who drink them on a regular basis know that the ideal container is one made of glass. Unlike plastic, glass never transfers a strange taste into a smoothie, even when it's stored in the container for a day or two. This means the produce used to create the smoothie will not be overshadowed by a plastic taste. HSN is now offering a set of two glass smoothie containers with airtight lids. The glasses are even marked with measurements so you can mix drinks right in them if you need to, or keep track of just how many ounces you're consuming each day. At $25 for the set of two, this gift idea is perfect for health-conscious people who are always on the go!
Tunki Coffee, the Gift for Coffee Lovers
I've always tried to come up with unique and interesting gifts for this blog. One of my best friends is a coffee lover, and I've given her many coffee-themed gifts throughout the years. From a beautiful travel mug to an eco-friendly hand protector (like the cardboard ones at Starbucks, but reusable) I have searched high and low for unique ideas. This Christmas, I know exactly what I'll give her. A bag of fair trade organic coffee from Peru, called Tunki Coffee. Click the link to find out more about it, or to order a bag. This coffee is grown on a cooperative in Southeastern Peru that unites hundreds of farmers and their families. It's called Cecovasa, and the farmers there have received a lot of attention since one of them entered Tunki Coffee in the Specialty Coffee Association of America's Coffee of the Year Awards. Not only was Tunki named Coffee of the Year among 130 samples from 22 countries, but it also received the People's Choice Award. Now everyone is wondering where they can buy Tunki Coffee from Cecovasa. One company, Rojas International, is distributing Tunki from Cecovasa in the US. They sell Peruvian Food products under the brand Mama Tina's, and if you're a fan of Peruvian cooking, you know they are all natural, high quality foods. Of course, not all of the coffee they sell is from the farmer who won the prize – there would never be enough to go around! But the coffee is grown within the cooperative that he is a member of. The brand Tunki has existed for several years within this cooperative, and is receiving recognition within Peru and abroad. What an interesting story to tell my friend when I give her the bag I just ordered! I always feel good when I buy fair trade products.
An Organic Jewelry Gift
A lot of my friends are into the green lifestyle, bringing their reusable shopping bags to the store and carrying stainless steel water bottles instead of buying plastic and throwing it away. Now people are starting to look past these little changes to incorporate the "green attitude" in all aspects of their lives, especially fashion. Organic cotton and recycled materials are popping up in designer stores, and even Organic Jewelry has become trendy. These natural Gourd Earrings from Peru are not only made with a renewable resource, but they're also sold by a fair trade-friendly company. Real gourd is used in many Peruvian Jewelry designs, and is hand carved by talented artisans using traditional techniques. The gourd is set in sterling silver, making them an impressive gift for any eco-friendly fashionista!
The Gift of Organization
One of my favorite online companies is Levenger. Their tagline is "Tools for Serious Readers" which hooked me right in. Their tools really are great – my friends joke that my husband should be calling them to establish a monthly limit for my spending with them! One of my favorite lines is the "Circa" line of paper and notebooks. You can see it here. The idea is that you can take secure notes (like a spiral notebook) and then move them within a notebook or from notebook to notebook; the flexibility of a three-ring binder without the bulk. The new covers are available in a bright microfiber cloth or a colorful glossy cardboard which is appealing to the younger crowd and makes this a terrific graduation gift idea for the student moving on to college. A bunch of loose paper along with a couple of notebook covers and he/she can travel from class to class with just one notebook and rearrange the notes into separate notebooks once back in the dormitory. Just beware: if you are a reader or writer this is addictive territory!
A Gift for New Moms
As a mom who is wishing on a star for grandchildren, one of my favorite gifts to give a mother-to-be is a basket filled with all the books that became childhood favorites for my girls. The classics "Good Night Moon", "Love You Forever" and "The Hungry Caterpillar" are just three of the many well-read books that became bedtime rituals in our home. It's amazing how many times a child wants to hear the same story over again. No matter that as the reader one wishes for a reprieve from the repetitiveness, as time passes the memory becomes dearer. I realize what a new mother has to look forward to, and my great wish is to hold out my arms and say, "Here, look! You don't know it yet but these are books you will cherish – memories you will build with your child on your lap as you whisper, "I'll love you forever."
For a bigger basket:
The Napping House
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie
On the Day You Were Born
A Thoughtful Gift Idea
I'm a big believer in gifts that show you were thoughtful about choosing them. My friend bought me a beautiful hydrangea plant for my birthday recently and as much as I love the plant (and I do!) I also love the fact that she knows me well, and thought about choosing something that would please me. That plant is thriving in my garden showing lacy white blooms and every time I walk by or stop to admire it, I know I have a friend who cares about me. Isn't that what we want our gifts to say? So while I love to give gift ideas here (yes, one is coming…) I also advise you to spend a few minutes thinking about the person you're buying for to get a sense of direction.
Today's suggestion: Now that there are video cameras on our phones and computers, it's pretty easy to create a video clip and while the tech savvy person can edit it and get fancy with music in the background, none of that is necessary for this gift idea. Record yourself sharing a happy memory. It can be a story for your child from his past or a memory from your own childhood that you share with your parent. The ways to use this idea are endless but the key is to let the person know that they play an important role in your happy memories. Here's the fun part that may require a little courage on your part: post your video somewhere, on YouTube or FaceBook for example, and then send the link to your gift recipient. You won't believe how many people will share this with their friends because everyone loves to have their life witnessed. You'll be the coolest gift giver ever.
Unique Jewelry Gifts
I've always loved receiving jewelry gifts. I feel that a woman can never own too many accessories! One thing that makes jewelry a great choice is that every woman needs a nice variety of it for different occasions, outfits, and moods. Of course, a wedding ring or other sentimental piece may be worn everyday, but most women enjoy mixing it up with a variety of earrings in different sizes and shapes, fun bracelets, and unusual necklaces. From chunky and funky to dainty and feminine, you can find a piece of jewelry that will fit your recipient's taste. The key is to look past the mass produced styles in the popular stores, and seek out the more exclusive boutiques and online shops. That is where you'll find handcrafted jewelry. Instead of having the same look as all of her friends, your recipient will enjoy a piece of artisan jewelry that people notice as being unique and beautiful. This carved gourd necklace is an instant conversation starter. Artisans in Peru hand carve designs into their gourd jewelry, and then it is set in sterling silver. Talk about a unique jewelry gift!
A Gift Full of Memories
There are a few sites that offer photobooks on the internet now. My favorite is MyPublisher.com. It's so easy to use their software and the end result is as professional as anything on the shelf at your local bookstore. I heard about this site when I received a gift of a photobook from a family who had visited our vacation home with us. They compiled photos from that trip, many featuring my children with their children having a wonderful time together and "published" a book as a thank you gift. It was one of the best gifts I've ever received and it has become my "go to" place on the web for personalized gifts at Christmas. Pull together some digital photos, upload them to theMyPublisher.com site and start arranging them into your own special gift for someone.
The Gift of Technology
This year I bought my husband an iPad for Father's Day. I know it doesn't seem like such a creative gift, after all there were lines outside the door of the Apple Store with the launch of this new gadget. But for someone who is technologically challenged this is a gift of technology that is so intuitive it brings the internet into the realm of the possible, something that makes it an unparalleled gift. Of course, setting up the iPad so that favorite websites are easily reached with the touch of a button, and help setting up an email address for future communications – these are the details of the gift that make it personal. Believe me, the time and money are well worth it and you'll be receiving thank you notes for a long time to come – probably by e-mail!
Music to Their Ears
Have you ever walked into a store and been swept away by the music that is playing? I remember the first time I heard Tiger Lily by Natalie Merchant. I was sitting in a quiet bar on a lovely summer Friday afternoon waiting for a friend and the music set just the right mood for the pending weekend of rest and relaxation. Music is a matter of personal taste but with some forethought it's possible to choose terrific CDs to give a friend. Looking for a safer alternative? How about an iTunes gift certificate and a list of songs that you think your friend would enjoy? I'd love that gift!

Fix DNS Problems
A Domain Name System (DNS) allows a site IP address (192.168.x.x) to be identified with words (*.com) in order to be remembered more easily, like a phonebook for websites. This service is usually provided by your ISP.
Clear your local DNS cache to make sure that you grab the most recent cache that your ISP has. For Windows - (Start > Command Prompt > type "ipconfig /flushdns" and hit enter). For details choose your operating system :
If you can access a website at office or from a 3G network yet it's not working on your computer, it is a good idea to use an alternative DNS service other than your ISPs. OpenDNS or Google Public DNS are both excellent and free public DNS services.

Where can I purchase handgun ammo at a cheap price without compromising function of my handgun? I was on Cheaper than Dirt website and they offer PMC ammo which is a few bucks less than other brands but is it reliable?
Thanks Frado

Where can I purchase handgun ammo at a cheap price without compromising function of my handgun? I was on Cheaper than Dirt website and they offer PMC ammo which is a few bucks less than other brands but is it reliable?
Thanks Frado
I get the cheap stuff at Wally-World of all places. Whinchester White Box for range and Remmington and Winchester JHP's for carry if needed. Ya get what ya pay for but it'll kill paper, cardboard, and other critters as dead as anything else if your on a limited budget.
stay away from Jack Ross Ammo good shooting but still owe me money or ammo had to file a BBB complaint
sgammo.com is a good place to start. They have LE Gold Dot and Federal HST, both in +p for 26/50 count. That is half the price you will find locally.
You need to buy by the case if you want to assure a good price on ammo.
The other way to get a good price is to get lucky at walmart. The carry Federal 115g 100 count boxes for 19.95. That is case price, the problem is that it gets picked up fast and they are out a lot.
If your gun cycles it, Tula or Wolf steel case is the cheapest you will find at 10 bucks a box or 185/case
Wally World for the 100 round WWB special. If you have a Farm an Fleet in Michigan they sell Blazer Brass for under $13 a box of 50.
I use PMC Bronze 380 in my Bersa and Beretta with no problems at all. But I clean my weapons completely after EACH shoot. I get my ammo whenever Cheaper than Dirt has a sale.
A place called "LEE PRO-1000" is the cheapest. Conveniently delivered free of charge to your garage or basement.
I also use CTD, Natchez, SG, and Cabellas. Wherever the deals are.
Stay AWAY from Wolf Ammo...... no matter how cheap. When it works it's the DIRTIEST stuff around and when you get the 'bad' stuff you'll think your gun is dying a slow, painful death. The worst quality ammo out there.
I've shot about a bazillion rounds of PMC in .223 and 5.56, as well as quite a few boxes in .308 and several pistol calibers. Never had a lick of trouble with any of it. I think it's probably the best low-buck brass-cased ammo out there.
I have found some good deals here before:
Federal American Eagle .223 Rem 55gr FMJ-BT 1000rds Ammo Can XM223BL AC - .223/5.56mm - Rifle Ammunition - Ammunition
Otherwise, it's Walmart for me.
I have fallen in love with slickguns.com - a forum sponsor. You can sort by cost per round and get brass 223 ammo for $320 per thousand; brass 9mm for under $200 per thousand. Those are good deals as far as I am concerned.
Also ammoseek.com and Wally World.
I have been through hundreds of rounds of PMC in 9mm, .45ACP, and .223 and it has been good ammo.
If you order from CTD pay attention to the "warehouse" your order is coming from. You want your entire order to come from the same warehouse or you will pay more in shipping charges. Other than that CTD is a decent place to order from, ammo or otherwise.
Freedom ammunition. I have a few thousand rounds through 2 guns and not a single problem.
Do gun shows happen to be cheaper than online?
-- I don't always post from my mobile but when I do, I prefer Tapatalk.
One needs to be constantly "shopping" around to find the best deals..... Ammunition prices are starting to be like the price of gasoline......

text: ceramics "New Blue and White" By Joe Donahue • Feb 25, 2013 Listen Listening... / 14:36 "Blue and white" means, at its simplest, cobalt pigment applied to white clay. Over the course of a millennium, blue-and-white porcelain has become one of the most recognized types of ceramic production worldwide. The exhibition, "New Blue and White" currently on display at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston explores the ways in which contemporary makers, working in ceramics as well as other media ranging from fiber to furniture to glass, have explored this rich body of material culture.

This time, there's a little more on the line - a Sugar Bowl performance against Florida, one of the best teams in the country, in a BCS bowl game that will have plenty of more eyes than the Motor City Bowl - and this time, he doesn't simply have one job. Now, he jokes (but not really), he's got four jobs.
He's the interim coach at UC.
He's the offensive coordinator at UC.
He's the offensive line coach at UC.
And he's

"It's a team game," he said. "I really felt when I was asked to be in the interim position, the most important thing I had to do was get back to our players. I'm an all-in guy. I can't change who I am. When they felt I was in the best position to lead this football team, I was honored to do that. The key is about these kids. I keep saying that. I don't want them to lose sight about that's why I came here. For me to step away from that opportunity to continue leading this football team, I wasn't going to do it and let anybody down. I wanted to be here and finish things off. I'm following through with that."
