Small Claims Court provides a forum that allows for parties to resolve money disputes up to $5,000. In small claims cases, the parties represent themselves. You may not have an attorney represent you. Your case will be heard by a Magistrate.
To start a small claims lawsuit, the cause of action must have occurred within Eaton County or the defendant must reside in or do business in Eaton County.
Before filing your claim, you should assess the probability of you actually being able to collect on the judgment should you be successful. A judgment does not ensure payment, it simply means you have proven to the satisfaction of the court, that the individual you sued owes you the specified amount of money. It may be more difficult actually collecting the money from the other party; however, you do have (6) years to collect this judgment.
To file a small claims lawsuit you must complete the following:
Affidavit and Claim, Small Claims form (DC84)
- The form contains 4 parts:
- You must completely fill-out the entire form (all 4 parts)
- Have your signature notarized (You may bring the completed form to the District Court and we will notarize your signature).
- You must also pay the appropriate filing fee which is determined by the amount of the claim you are seeking. Please Click HERE to see the FILING FEE table to determine the fee.
- You may pick-up a copy of this form at the District Court ($1/form).
- You may mail a self addressed stamped envelope and $1 for the form.
While the staff of this court will try to assist either party to an action, it is helpful to understand that:
- Our Clerks are not attorneys and are prohibited by law from providing any legal advice.
- The Judges, who are attorneys, may not and will not give advice on matters they may have to rule on.
- This court can render money judgments only, and has no power to force anyone to do something or to stop doing something.
By having your case heard in the Small Claims Division, you are giving up the following rights:
- The right to have an attorney present,
- The right to appeal to a higher court,
- The right to a jury trial,
- Claims over $5,500
- A party who sues another party is called the plaintiff. The party being sued is called the defendant. There can be more than one plaintiff or defendant in the same action. An example would be when a husband and wife sue another husband and wife.
- The plaintiff can be:
- An individual who has knowledge or information about all of the facts in the matter
- A partnership who has knowledge or information about all of the facts in the matter
- A corporation who has knowledge or information about all of the facts in the matter
- A Sole Proprietor who has knowledge or information about all of the facts in the matter
- Must be 18 years of age or older to file a claim

- No adjournments will be granted to permit you to bring these at a later date.
- One of several things may occur on the scheduled date
- The defendant may appear and refuse to submit to the small claims division and request a Demand and Order for Removal - small claims form. If this is done the case will then be transferred to the General Civil Division, which is the defendant's right. The defendant must then file an answer in writing within 14 days of the transfer and a new date will be set
- The defendant may appear, admit liability for your claim and a consent judgment will be entered.
- The defendant may fail to appear. If plaintiff has proper service and plaintiff can prove to the court they have a proper claim, a default judgment will be entered.
- The defendant may appear, disagree with the claim, agree to have it mediated in small claims division and mediation will be held.
- The mediation is an informal matter. You will present your case to the Mediatior NOT a Judge. State your claim as simply as possible. If necessary refer to the papers or evidence you have brought with you.
- The person you are suing will then have an opportunity to tell the Mediator why they feel they do not owe you what you claim
- After all testimony and evidence has been presented, the Mediator will render a decision. If either party disagrees with the Mediators decision, they will have opportunity to have the case presented before a Judge that will be scheduled for a later date.
** If service has been made and neither the plaintiff or the defendant appear, or the defendant appears but the plaintiff does not, the claim will be dismissed by the court.**
If you sued someone for money and received a judgment against the person, you have the right to collect the money. You can collect the amount stated in your Small Claims Judgment plus any interest that accumulates during the time the other party pays off the judgment.
There are several ways to collect your judgment:
- If the other party has the money and is present at the trial he/she can pay you immediately.
- If he/she does not have the money at that time and you both agree at the hearing, you can set up a payment schedule with the plaintiff.
- If the defendant is not present at the hearing, the court will send a copy of the small claims judgment to the defendant.
- The judgment will order the defendant to pay you in full within 21 days.
- If the defendant does not pay the judgment as ordered, you will have to collect your money through an execution against property or a garnishment.
- To get an execution against property or a garnishment, you will first need to know where the defendant lives and works, what assets s/he has and where these assets are located and any other information which identifies the defendaant and his/her property.
- If you have this information, you can start the process called execution against property or a garnishment. If you don't have the information you will need to order the defendant to appear in court or provide the information to you.
- If the defendant was ordered to pay the judgment within 21 days or disclose information to you and hasn't done either:
- You can file a Discovery Subpoena (MC11) to obtain the new information
- There is a $15 filing fee.
- You must wait 21 days after your judgment was entered to file for discovery.
- Complete the front of the form. The Affidavit for Judgment Debtor Examination on the back of the form must be signed in front of a Notary or court clerk.
- The Judge must sign the subpoena before it's effective.
- The subpoena must be personally served on the defendant
- There may be additional fees for this service.
- The plaintiff and defendant are both required to appear at a Discovery Hearing.
You must wait 21 days after your small claims judgment was signed before you can get an execution against property.
- Use the form Execution Against Property (MC19) to start the process.
- Complete the request & verification portion of the form and file it with the court.
- There is a $15 filing fee.
- The court will issue the writ(order) by signing the form and it will be executed by a sheriff or court officer.
- Any property that is seized will be sold and the money given to you.
- The sheriff or court officer is entitled to fees which will be deducted from the sale of the property.
If the defendant owns any real estate, the plaintiff can also file a Notice of Judgment Lein against the property. If this is done, the defendant could not sell the property until the judgment is paid.
- There is a $10 certification fee that is paid to the court and then the Notice of Judgment Lein must be filed with the county clerk's office.
You must wait 21 days after your small claims judgment was signed before you can file a garnishment.
There are three types of garnishments:
- Periodic
- Non-Periodic
- Income Tax Refund
A periodic garnishment is used to garnish the defendant's wages, rent payments, land contract payments, or other debt which is paid to the plaintiff on a periodic basis until all judgment costs and interest are paid in full.
- Use the form Request and Writ for Garnishment (Periodic) (MC12) to start this process.
- There is a $15 filing fee.
A non-periodic garnishment is used to garnish the defendant's bank account or other property.
Once money has been garnished under the non-periodic writ, the writ is no longer valid.
If there is a remaining balance on the judgment, you must get another writ to collect more money.
- Use the form Request and Writ for Garnishment (Non-Periodic) (MC13) to start this process
- There is a $15 filing fee.
An income tax garnishment is used to garnish the defendant's state tax refund if they are entitled to one. The State of Michigan will not accept current year garnishments until November 1st of each year.
- The garnishment will remain in effect until the following October 1.
- Use the form Request and Writ for Garnishment (Income Tax Refund/Credit) (MC52) to start this process.
- There is a $15 filing fee.
- You fill in the names and addresses of both the defendant and the garnishee on the request part of the form.
- The garnishee is the person or business who has control or possession of the defendant's money.
- Once you complete the request, you must file it with the court
- There is a $15 filing fee.
- The court will issue the writ (order) by signing the form
- The request and writ must be served on the garnishee along with the Garnishee Disclosure (MC14).
- If the garnishment is for periodic payments, include a $35 disclosure fee
The cost of serving the garnishment varies.
- In the case of a periodic or non-periodic garnishment, the garnishee has 14 days after the garnishment is served to let you, the court and the defendant know if any money is available for garnishment.
- This information will be provided on the Garnishee Disclosure (MC14).
- If you are trying to garnish wages, you will only receive part of the wages based on a federal formula.
- If money is available, it will be withheld from the defendant right away. However, this money will be held for 28 days to allow the defendant time for objections. If there are no objections the withheld money will be sent to you after 28 days.
- If the garnishment is for periodic payments, money will continue to be sent to you as payments become due to the defendant until the garnishment expires.

When I think of wind technology, an image comes to mind of a towering fleet of turbines. Although I've never seen a wind farm up close, I've heard from several people that it's an awe-inspiring sight. I may not have the chance to see a large-scale wind farm anytime soon, but I have had the opportunity to examine a small wind energy system—an alternative source of energy that can fully or partially provide power for the home.
In the same way, a small wind energy system can provide a significant amount of clean, renewable energy for your home. Wind turbines work by converting the kinetic energy of wind into electricity. The blades of the wind turbine are aero-dynamically designed to capture the maximum energy from the wind. The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft connected to a generator that in turn produces electricity. Check out our Energy 101 video series to learn more about wind energy basics.During a recent visit to the U.S Botanic Gardens (USBG) in Washington, D.C., I noticed a vertical wind turbine on display. This single turbine, relatively small in stature, provides up to 2,000 kilowatt hours per year for the USBG. The Garden's horizontal wind turbine provide an additional 2,500 kW hours per year. Although D.C. is not an ideal windy city, the USBG estimates that these turbines generate enough electricity to light its annual holiday show and power its electric utility vehicle.
Consider these factors to determine if a wind energy system may be a viable option for you:
- Your property has a good wind resource
- Your home or business is located on at least one acre of land
- Your local zoning codes or covenants allow wind turbines
- You can determine how much electricity you need or want to produce
- It works for you economically, and you're comfortable with long-term investments
- Your average electricity bills are $150 per month or more
- Your property is in a remote location that does not have easy access to utility lines.
Although stand-alone systems are an option, most small wind energy systems are connected to the larger power grid. This allows you to take electricity from the grid when your system cannot supply all your power needs.
A small wind energy system has about a 20-year lifetime, but with routine maintenance, some systems have successfully operated for 50 to 60 years. Depending on tax incentives, local wind resources, and the retail price of electricity from your local utility—a wind energy system can pay for itself in roughly 10 to 20 years.
Tax incentives, credits, and grants may be available in your area. For more information, visit the Energy Saver's Small Wind Electric Systems page.

An Apple iWatch is back in the rumor mill today, running deep with Dick Tracy nostalgia, Bond envy, and wearable future fancy. Since we have the iPhone and the iPad, and nothing Apple has already made is ever good enough, it's only ever what's next that matters, and when that's not an iTV, it's this. Preamble done, here's Nick Bilton from the New York Times:
In its headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., Apple is experimenting with wristwatch-like devices made of curved glass, according to people familiar with the company's explorations, who spoke on the condition that they not be named because they are not allowed to publicly discuss unreleased products. Such a watch would operate Apple's iOS platform, two people said, and stand apart from competitors based on the company's understanding of how such glass can curve around the human body.
Mobile payments, proximity logins, notification projection, Siri integration, the dream list goes on and on.
It's not remotely outlandish to imagine Apple is considering just such a device in their labs. If Apple is ever to release an iWatch, beyond an Apple TV-like hobby, it would have to:
- Make them money, i.e., sell tons of units at margin
- Disrupt an existing industry and provide high value to Apple customers.
- Increase the overall attraction of Apple's ecosystem.
iOS on a 1.5-inch screen would be interesting, but would it be interesting and far along enough for Apple to bring it to market this year?

I got this counter from my favorite furniture store's clearance center about 2 years ago. Their loft store was closing, and this was their check-out counter. I asked if it was for sale. They laughed. When I returned the next day, there was a price tag on it--and it was way out of my league. So I waited. I waited for weeks. And two hours before the store closed its doors for good, they lowered their prices to 75% off all clearance items, and I snagged that baby up for a song. It is solid English Oak, heavy and 105" long. And I love her.
The view from my perch, behind the counter:
I am a fan of the ladder shelves, but NOT black. It is true--you see everything--dust and all!
This was once a wine rack and a bread box. They are now storage units for journaling.
I got this recently on clearance, and it is my new favorite thing. It catches everything that didn't have a home.
I posted about this before. Got it at one of my favorite stores...Arhaus Furniture.
It houses all my stamps, and a few regularly used punches.
The scissors are from Pottery Barn, and the other stuff from flea markets or antique stores. I took the idea to hang things on a rack from my friend Kelly.
And I decided to organize embellies by color because of my friend Melanie. It really makes more sense in the way I scrap.
And the wall unit is also from Arhaus (but if you're local, totally check out their clearance center--I got this there!)
Two years ago, I was pregnant with my third, and was faced with moving my then scrap space out of the spare bedroom. I recall being so distraught over that now. I loved having my space upstairs, because I scrapped at night and I was close to the kids.
So I thought I'd be forced into the basement. And that would be fine (if it looked like Tina's!), but mine does NOT.
When my friend Jen suggested that we turn our home office into a real office/scrap room, I thought she was nuts. I thought it wasn't big enough, with all my stuff. I thought on it a while, and in the middle of the night, I started moving furniture...and that was the beginning. The thought of being on the main floor of the house, where everyone else was living, appealed to me on one level. But I'm not an organized person by nature--and we love to entertain. So how could I hide all the mess?
When we built the house, my husband and I had parents with illnesses, and we had the forethought to put a garden door on the living room in the house in the event that it may have to someday be used to house one of them. So glad we did that. I promptly sewed a curtain on that door, and can open and close it as I desire. And the door has a lock on it. Perfect.
I live in this room. I enjoy scrapping here sometimes--but mostly I do business work here on the counter. I like to sit on the floor and scrap, leave it out, and come and go as I please.
And I cleaned and purged all week to get it presentable to post these darned pictures. So take a good look, because it won't be this clean again for a while! :)
Thanks for taking the tour!
Okay, the questions...
My process: I love deadlines. Sick, I know. But I work better under pressure. I am usually inspired by the photos first, and that dictates my direction. I am a total sketch whore and don't apologize for it.
Five can't live without items: My Canon SLR, photo editing software, brads, cardstock, and alphabets.
fun recipes here, and my new favorite blog here.
Describe yourself in 3 words: passionate, loyal & sincere. I'm also pretty intense.
Okay, off to mess up this room...:)
Enjoy your weekend!

Constantine, the fourth-ranked team in Division 6, has already clinched a spot in the playoffs.
On Friday, the Falcons rolled up 477 yards of total offense and earned their seventh win of the season, beating Olivet 62-34 on Hall of Fame night. It was also homecoming for the Falcons.
"The kids handled the distractions well and I thought it was a good win for us," Constantine coach Shawn Griffith said. "The kids came out early and that was nice to see because we've struggled getting out and playing well early in games. This was the last (regular season) home game for our seniors and they all played well tonight, so that was great to see."
Constantine didn't waste any time. They obviously weren't messing around with Olivet.
The Falcons scored 41 first quarter points, six touchdowns in all. The first was a 4 yard TD run from Jeff Steiner to cap a 5-play, 65-yard drive.
In Constantine's next three possessions, they scored on the very first play of the drive.
After an interception by Tommy Reed that was returned nearly for a touchdown, the Falcons went back to work offensively. The only play of that drive was a 1 yard TD plunge into the end zone by Payton White as Constantine led 14-0.
Olivet's next possession didn't last long as the Eagles punted. Once Constantine got the ball back, Ben Mallo got in the mix with a 67 yard run for a score. The extra point was missed, but the Falcons led 20-0.
Olivet couldn't stop Constantine from bruising its way into the end zone. White scored his second touchdown of the opening quarter, this time a 26 yard run, and the Falcons were off and running, literally, at 27-0.
"We forced a couple of turnovers with our kick coverage early in the game and they had trouble matching our intensity," Griffith said.
The lead would get bigger. Reed found the end zone once Constantine got the ball back again, scoring on a 3 yard touchdown. Cody Hartwick added the extra point and the Falcons led 34-0.
Steiner would score the next Constantine TD, a 9 yard run. Hartwick would add the extra point and the Falcons explosion in the opening quarter was complete, leading 41-0.
Olivet managed to get on the board near the end of the quarter on a Nick Coolidge TD run. They trailed 41-6 after 12 minutes of play.
In the second quarter, each team scored one touchdown.
Constantine struck first with a 5 yard run from White and the point after gave the Falcons a comfortable 48-13 lead at halftime.
"Olivet had some trouble stopping our inside running game tonight," Griffith said. "I thought our offensive line did a great job again. That's been our one consistent all season. They've really come off the ball hard and those guys did a great job again for us tonight."
Olivet would score twice in the third quarter with Shaney Loney and Coolidge TD runs, to chip into the Constantine lead.
However, the Falcons would add a touchdown in each the third and fourth quarters to put the game away. The first came in the third quarter with a White 3 yard TD. Then, in the fourth quarter, Justin Hull found the end zone with an 11 yard TD run.
Constantine finished with 457 yards rushing but trailed in the time of possession, 26:41-21:19.
Leading the Falcons in rushing was Mallo with 155 yards on 13 carries. White had four touchdowns and 125 yards on 16 carries. Reed had 56 yards on seven carries, Hull had 88 on six carries and Steiner had 26 on five carries.
Defensively, Mallo and Nick West each had eight stops. Josh Cantrell added eight stops as well while Phil VanZile had seven tackles and Andres Montoya added six.
Bronson 45, Stockbridge 14
Any win is a good one, but a win on homecoming night is a bit sweeter. The Bronson Vikings clobbered Stockbridge 45-14 in non-conference action on Friday night. Stockbridge pieced together a nice drive on their first possession, but the Viking defense came up big and forced a field goal try that ended up short. Big offensive plays were a common theme on the night, as the Vikings got going early on a 78-yard run by Nick Mitchell.
Hayden Jergens converted the two point conversion to make it an 8-0 game.
On the next Stockbridge possession, a fumble was recovered by Scotty Wyant and the drive was closed on a 27-yard run by Kyle Roberts.
Jergens converted the two point conversion to make it a 16-0 game. At the 11:33 mark of the second quarter, Wyant scored on a 44-yard run.
The two point conversion failed, making it a 22-0 game.
"Our offensive line controlled the line of scrimmage and our backs ran the ball extremely hard," said Bronson coach Jeff Gallup. "I'm proud of this group. They've worked very hard to put themselves in an
opportunity for a playoff shot."
Bronson forced Stockbridge to punt on their next possession, and Jergens hit Nick Mitchell for a 15-yard score. Wyant added the two point conversion to make it a 30-0 game with 7:48 left. With four minutes left, Mitchell scored his third touchdown of the half, on a 31-yard run to make it a 38-0 game after a successful two point conversion pass from Jergens to Leo Mora. The Vikings got another shot at a score before the half, as a 29-yard run by Wyant set up the Vikings at the 15; but Hayden Jergens got bottled up in the middle of the field as the half ended.
In the second half, the Vikings tacked on another score in the second half with exchange student Edoardo Serrini kicking the extra point. Stockbridge added on a pair of scores in the second half to cap the night.
Defensively, Jonathan Laser, Jacob Gallup and Nick Mitchell all had interceptions.
Bronson is 4-3 overall and finished 2-1 in SJV play.
The Vikings host Bath to end the season on Armed Forces night. With a win, the Vikings will see the postseason.

Draft Significant Amendment to 2018 Agency Plan
PUBLIC NOTICE OF SIGNIFICANT AMENDMENT TO THE 2018 Agency Plan
Public Notice is hereby given that the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee (HACM) will hold a Public Hearing regarding a Significant Amendment to HACM's 2018 Agency Plan, as required by HUD under Section 511 of the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act (QHWRA) of 1998, hereafter referred to as the Public Housing Reform Act (PHRA).
This is a 45 day notice with an opportunity to present public comments regarding this change from December 22, 2017- February 5, 2018.
Interested persons are invited to comment on the draft amendment to the Housing Authority's Agency Plan documents at the public hearing. Written comments must be submitted to Mr. Antonio Pérez, Secretary-Executive Director, Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee, Post Office Box 324, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 53201. Written comments must be submitted no later than noon on or before Monday, February 5, 2018. A public hearing will be conducted on Wednesday, February 7, 2018 at 1:30 pm at City Hall, 200 East Wells Street, Milwaukee, WI, Room 301-A.
A draft copy of the amendment to the 2018 Agency Plan is now available for review and inspection by the public below.
Housing Choice Voucher recipients, public housing residents, resident councils, organizations, and the general public are encouraged to attend and submit suggestions, recommendations, comments and ideas on the Draft Amendment.
This is the language of the draft significant amendment to the 2018 Agency Plan, revising the definitions of substantial deviation and significant amendment. The proposed language is as follows:
HACM may amend or modify any policy, rule, regulation, or other aspect of the 5-year and/or Annual Plan.
The Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 does not require an annual update of the 5-Year Plan, but does require that public housing authorities explain any "substantial deviation" from the 5-Year Plans in their Annual Plans. A substantial deviation includes, but is not limited to:
- A change or changes to the 5-year goals or objectives that are substantial but do not rise to the level of a "significant amendment" (such as the modification or elimination of a specific objective or minor program while retaining the overall strategic goal and accomplishing it through other objectives).
- Additions of a Capital Fund project or non-emergency work items that are not included in the current Annual Statement or 5-year Action Plan in an amount less than $1,000,000; or
- changes in the use of replacement reserve funds under the Capital Fund program in an amount less than $1,000,000;
As part of the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD), the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee is redefining the definition of a substantial deviation from the PHA Plan to exclude the following RAD-specific items:
- The decision to convert to either Project Based Rental Assistance or Project Based Voucher Assistance;
- Changes to the Capital Fund Budget produced as a result of each approved RAD Conversion, regardless of whether the proposed conversion will include use of additional Capital Funds;
- Changes to the construction and rehabilitation plan for each approved RAD conversion; and
- Changes to the financing structure for each approved RAD conversion.
A "significant amendment or modification" to its 5-Year plan and/or Annual Plan is a change in policy that significantly and materially alters HACM's stated mission, goals, objectives and activities as stated in the Plan unless they are adopted to reflect changes in HUD regulations or requirements. If a change is considered a significant amendment to the 5-Year Plan or to the Annual Plan, it must undergo a public process that includes consultation with the Resident Advisory Board; public notice and public comment period; a public hearing, and approval by HACM's Board of Commissioners; and submission to and approval by HUD.
Significant amendments are defined as including the following:
- A change that materially revises the agency's mission, goals, or objectives;
- Material changes to rent or admissions policies or organization of the waiting list;
- Additions of a Capital Fund project or non-emergency work items that are notin the current Annual Statement or 5-year Action Plan in an amount equal to or greater than $1,000,000, excluding projects arising out of federally-declared major disasters; acts of God beyond the control of the Authority, such as earthquakes, fires, and storm damage; civil unrest; or other unforeseen significant event;
- Changes in the use of replacement reserve funds under the Capital Fund program in an amount equal to or greater than $1,000,000;
- Material changes in regard to demolition, disposition, designation, or conversion activities;
- Any other event or activity that the Authority's Board of Commissioners determines to be a significant amendment to the approved 5-Year Plan or Annual Plan.

Yep. This is it.
The new semester started, and, well … you know how that goes. Even after only two days. So I'm waiting for my frozen enchiladas to heat up and maybe the house could some sprucing and … maybe I'm not going to think about that.
Also, it's still hot here. And please don't look at that zit. Concentrate instead on my awesomely sparkly finger nails.
The good news: I've got an awesome cardigan on the needles — in need of some serious tinking because I thought I knew better than the pattern (why do I always think I know better than the pattern?!) — using up some stash yarn.
Life is pretty darn good. I'll be back soon.

As announced by the Los Angeles Times earlier today, Coinstar's popular Redbox brand has made a decision to ignore Warner Brothers recently announced 56-day plan that would restrict when a consumer has access to renting a new release on DVD or Blu-ray through the popular red kiosks. Company officials at Redbox have decided to purchase all new Warner Brothers releases in bulk through retailers like Amazon, Target and Wal-Mart, but at a higher cost than the company would pay directly through the studio. While the extra cost could cause Redbox to raise prices from the standard rate of $1.20 a night per DVD, they would have a strategic advantage over rival Netflix.
Netflix agreed to Warner Brothers new release window last month in exchange for continuing to get the discounted rate on new releases. If the Netflix consumer has to wait for eight weeks to get access to upcoming WB movies like A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas, J. Edgar and Happy Feet 2, they may cancel the Netflix rental service completely. Also included in the Netflix deal, the company has to restrict subscribers from adding new Warner Brothers movies to their rental queues until 28 days after the DVD and Blu-ray have been released. This means the Netflix subscriber has to wait 28 days to gain access to a working "Add to queue" button and an additional 28 days beyond that point to actually receive the disc.
According to Warner Brothers executives, removing the presence of the title from the Netflix service for 28 days will reduce the number of people who simply wait for Netflix to gain access to the disc, thus increasing DVD and Blu-ray sales. Mark Horak, president of Warner Home Video North America, believes this strategy will "improve the value of ownership for the consumer." However, it's unlikely that Netflix can afford to continue with the 56-day agreement if anyone can go to a Redbox to pick up the latest Warner Brothers movie. Netflix officials may attempt to alter the terms of the agreement to vastly reduce the cost of eight-week old movies even more or simply copy Redbox's strategy of purchasing titles from third-party vendors.
While Redbox plans to obtain Warner Brother movies from "alternate means" according to vice president of marketing Gary Cohen, a Warner Brother spokesperson stated "The consumer is best served by a windowing and pricing structure that ensures a healthy film business continuing to deliver quality movies. We hope to continue discussions with Redbox and reach a mutually agreed upon solution to this situation, but we fully intend to do what is best for our business, our consumers and the industry as a whole."
Warner Brother's position is extremely vulnerable at this point if Redbox and Blockbuster continue to ignore the 56-day plan. It's possible the movie studio will attempt to backtrack to the 28-day release window. While movie studios may have been adamant to adopt a similar release schedule after Netflix agreed to the new plan three weeks ago, it's unlikely that studios are ready to push a new version of the structured release schedule without all the major rental companies on board.
In addition, increasing the amount of restrictions regarding when a consumer can have access to a rental price on a film is likely to increase piracy of new releases. When a movie is released on DVD and Blu-ray, the film appears on peer-to-peer file-sharing services on the same day with minimal difference in quality. In addition, consumers aren't forced to watch advertisements or movie trailers with the pirated version of the film, thus increasing the value of the digital copy over the physical version.

All Resources
Editor's Note: This article is a blog posting by Bob Trebilcock, executive editor of Modern Materials Handling, LM's sister publication.
It's Friday morning and another ProMat is behind us. My legs are shot. My back hurts. My spirits are pretty high. That's because I think it was a successful show.
The best of the industry was on display. You expect that at ProMat. Of more importance to me is that the end user community – the consumers of our technologies – appear to be in the market to improve their operations. George Prest, CEO of MHI, the sponsor of the show, had a line that really sums it up. "We are an investment in productivity," he told me.
I'm sure that's not the first time I've heard that line. It's certainly a theme we embrace at Modern. But for some reason, it really resonated when Prest expressed it on Wednesday. With that in mind, here are the handful of questions I'm taking home from the show and the trends I want to watch.
Right now, it's all about multi-channel distribution: Willy Sutton famously said he robs banks because that's where the money is. At every ProMat, there seems to be an industry that every solution provider is targeting because they're investing in productivity, to steal Prest's line. It's where the money is. A couple of shows ago, it was beverage distribution. Exhibit after exhibit displayed mixed SKU palletizing. This year, it was how to handle case picking for store replenishment and each picking for e-commerce fulfillment in the same facility. I don't have numbers to back it up, but it seems as if the e-commerce challenge is driving an unprecedented level of automation and doesn't show any signs of letting up soon. In fact, multi-channel distribution was the theme of the first press conference I attended at Dematic's booth on Monday and was on the subject of conversations with Daifuku Webb, TGW, Knapp, SSI Schaefer and Muratec.
Should we call it order fulfillment software: I had a long discussion with Jerry Koch, Intelligrated's director of corporate marketing, about what we should call the emerging software that manages picking and packing activities in a multi-channel distribution environment. The temptation is to think of it as a warehouse control system because many of the solutions are offered by systems integrators and OEMs. Indeed, many of these applications began life as a WCS to route inventory and orders through conveyor and sortation systems. However, the problems they're being asked to solve today are more complex than routing orders. While there is some overlap with WMS systems, the activities they are managing are different. I vote for order fulfillment system. That's because in my mind, the facilities taking advantage of these systems, like the one being operated by Gilt Groupe are all about order fulfillment. Receiving and storage are just means to an end.
Packaging is suddenly cool: Last fall, Clark Skeen, the president of CubiScan (http://www.cubiscan.com), described how one of his prominent ecommerce customers was using weighing and cubing in conjunction with a packaging system to significantly reduce its shipping costs. "Something is going on there," he said. I think he's dead on. Multi-channel distribution is shining a light on packaging in a new way. It was reflected by the fact that the winners of the two innovation awards – Pack Size and Fox IV – both address packaging and shipping. In addition to Pack Size, System Logistics introduced an on-demand packaging solution targeted at e-commerce distribution.
Where do horizontal carousels fit: What was missing from the show? Horizontal carousels. There were plenty of vertical carousels and vertical lift modules on display, but unless there was a horizontal carousel hiding in a back corner, I didn't see it. With all the attention paid to shuttle and mini-load systems I started wondering: where do horizontal carousels fit? I posed that question yesterday to Tom Coyne, the CEO of System Logistics. "It's a good question," Coyne said. While conceding that shuttles are the technology of the moment and have a number of advantages in high throughput situations, horizontal shuttles still deliver value in picking applications requiring 300 to 400 picks per hour. "We have more tools than we used to," Coyne said. "I think that as distribution managers focus more on piece picking, they'll begin to look at all the tools available and find value in horizontal carousels."
Unit load got some love: Shuttle and high-speed mini-load technologies that enable goods-to-person picking were certainly on display at the booths of the major systems integrators. For the first time in a long time, there was also attention paid to innovative ways to handle pallet and slip sheet loads. The PalletRunner was prominently displayed at the front of the show. Dematic highlighted three solutions utilizing automatic guided vehicles, high-density dynamic pallet storage and in the rack pallet shuttles at one of its press conferences. JBT was also demonstrating the combination of AGVs and pallet shuttles for high-density storage. Muratec introduced a new highly maneuverable pallet-handling AGV with a vision guidance system.
What's up with Kiva: Kiva made its debut at ProMat three or four shows ago. Then, they were the talk of the show. Although they weren't present this year – and haven't appeared to be present in the market since Kiva was acquired by Amazon - they booked four spaces for ProMat 2015. It led any number of companies to wonder what's next for those little bots.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The Times-Call's series Take Two revisits people we have written about in the past. Take Two stories will run on Mondays.
LONGMONT -- When we last spoke with Rae Heim, the 18-year-old Iowa woman who was running -- barefoot -- across the United States this summer, it was August, and she was well past the halfway point of running to California from Boston.
At the time, she said, the most curious thing that had happened to her on her journey was that she had been "pulled over" by law enforcement as she jogged along, pushing her three-wheeled baby stroller filled with extra clothing and food. She had been stopped more than a dozen times in various states.
Now, having completed her 3,437-mile run in mid-November, that was still the biggest standout of her trip other than the scope of the experience, she said by phone Friday.
"I just think it's strange that they're the only ones that hassled me in this entire 71/2 months," said Heim, who now lives in Las Vegas. "That, and the zebra farm in Nebraska."
Heim left Boston on April 1 and ended her trip on Manhattan Beach in California on Nov. 14. She typically ran about 20 miles a day, running a few days in a row and then taking a couple of days off. She stayed with family, friends and friends of the family along the way. Her mother, Leslie, used her extensive network of contacts to find safe shelter for her.
As her blog noted, from Fruita, Colo., to Las Vegas there was a whole lot of desolation, so one man agreed to follow her in his RV.
"It was like running on the moon -- it was crazy," she said.
Heim's trip was to raise awareness and donations for the nonprofit organization Soles4Souls, which provides footwear for people in the U.S. and other countries around the globe who can't afford shoes.
Kelly Modena, who handles fundraising for Soles4Souls, said Heim's trip raised $11,000 in cash donations and 7,500 pairs of shoes. Combined, they will provide some 18,000 people with shoes.
"We challenged a bunch of different states to donate shoes ... and Colorado really stepped up to the plate," Modena said.
In fact, the city of Golden contributed 3,000 pairs all by itself, and the city threw a little shindig for Heim when she was passing through.
"(The shoes) were all piled high in the middle of the street when I ran through," she said. "That was pretty cool. It really never hit me, the number of shoes that I was raising, until I saw that huge pile of shoes. I just thought, 'Wow, that's amazing!'"
'People are kind'
On her blog, which she updated frequently on her journey, Heim's entry from Nov. 14 -- the day she hit the Pacific -- recalled what she had been thinking in the days and weeks leading up to her trip.
"I was scared, but I wasn't willing to tell anyone this," she wrote, going on to describe flying from her home in Las Vegas to the East Coast to begin her trip:
"And then the plane landed, and I was in Boston. I had just flown all the way across the United States of America, only to run back across. ... That freaked me out. And unless you've been at the starting line of your run across America, you won't even begin to understand what this feels like. It's like more than the feeling of the unknown. It's the feeling of all of the negative thoughts you put into your mind before you left, and it's the feeling of not letting anyone down because everyone knows that you are running across America now and what if you choke?"
Those emotions were no doubt easier to put into words seven months later, after her mission was accomplished.
Heim had taken up running three years before and had discovered she loved it. A toe injury and the subsequent removal of that toenail is why she runs barefoot, and it was meeting another cross-country runner that planted that idea in her head. The idea of doing it for charity came at her mother's suggestion and Heim embraced the added meaning that would bring.
The final leg of her trip was just a six-mile jog from Gardena, Calif., to Manhattan Beach.
"That last stretch, about an hour and a half, the entire trip was on repeat in my head," Heim said. "It was just overwhelming, for sure. I think I was in shock for about an hour after I finished."
Since her trip ended she's back living in Las Vegas and has been doing some work for Run Girl Run, an athletic apparel company where her mom also works. But her plans are to come back to Colorado.
"Next fall I think I'm going to go to school in Boulder," Heim said. "When people ask me what was my favorite place, I say Colorado."
She said she plans to study "something to do with English, maybe journalism."
Now that she's had some time to reflect, she said, "I'm still in shock that I actually did it -- I actually ran across the country."
As for how she has changed personally, she said she not only has a lot more confidence in herself, but her outlook on her fellow man has changed.
"People are kind. You just have to kind of open yourself up to it, and let them in," Heim said.

Rays Owner: MLB No Longer Believes in Tampa

This subject seems to come up every several months or so. Cities are suggested as good candidates to have a MLB team. Sometimes people base this on the fact that certain cities have a successful NFL, NBA, and/or NHL team.
The problem is that it's a lot more difficult to find a metro area that can consistently support a MLB than any of the other major sports. The NHL and NBA play half as many games per season and in arenas that are about half the capacity of MLB ballparks. The NFL is wildly popular and plays only 8 home games a season.
These days, MLB teams that are average less than about 25k per game are said to have "poor attendance." That's tough to achieve night after night for a team that plays just about every single day and has 81 home games.
....and that doesn't even get into the issue of big money from local TV contracts that, more and more, are becoming a key part of teams' finances.
I don't think Nashville, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, etc. can support a team.
IMO, the Rays aren't going anywhere. MLB can piss and moan all they want, but they and/or Rays ownership signed a lease until 2027. I don't see them breaking that when they really don't have anywhere else to go. I don't think the fact that the bonds for the Trop will be paid off in 2016 makes a difference....they still have a lease and they won't break it without anywhere else to go. Maybe Montreal could work again, but they'd have to approve funding for a new MLB-only ballpark first....and I'm not holding my breath for that to happen any time soon.

Good point. Plus, Milwaukee has 50+ years of MLB history going back to the wildly popular Braves teams of the 1950s.

In typical fall fashion, I'm loving on pumpkin flavored anything. This fall I've fallen in love with Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin Spice Coffee. It's just as delicious as a pumpkin spice latte, but cheaper and fewer calories. Mix it with a little skim milk, and you'll swear it's a latte.
You can get it at any Dunkin store on drip (man, I LOVE living near these now!) or I've found the beans sold in bags at Target stores. Of course it tastes better fresh from Dunkin, but it's still delicious in your home coffee maker, and so much cheaper per serving. Oh, and Dunkin says it's Gluten Free to boot, yay!
I'm also in love with Trader Joe's pumpkin butter, delicious! At 40 calories per tablespoon, it goes pretty far too, as you only need a little bit to add flavor. I've been smothering it on my Blueberry Cottage Cheese Pancakes. I've also been adding a half carton of 0% Greek yogurt to this recipe to add a further protein punch, but be warned, if you do this, add a couple tablespoons of water too so the batter doesn't get too thick.
I also have a goal of making a gluten free version (basically subbing in gluten free graham crackers for the crust) of Eat, Live Run's Pumpkin Cheesecake bites. They look delicious!
I'm also going to try this Martha Stewart Pumpkin Pasta recipe, I think even Ben could like this one!
Although we didn't dress up this year, we dressed up Cooper of course (and by "we," I mean me, because Ben just sits and shakes his head at this).
The Little Devil
Cooper was supposed to be in a costume contest at a local park this weekend, but the weather was so bad (sleet, snow, ice) that I didn't take him. So, now he'll just get to show off his outfit for Trick or Treaters tonight.
