They (Jack Wilson) was the one person that kept us informed throughout the whole process- often picking up and giving us information that made our life easier and less stressful. He often took on board enquiries to help us even though there was no payment in it for him - he was just so committed to excellent customer service. thanks you jack...

My daughter rented a property from Bond residential and despite cleaning the property at the end of the year, was told we needed to get it "professionally" cleaned.. When asked for the report of the previous "professional" cleaners I was told it was not cleaned professionally before the letting but we were still forced to pay for the cleaning...
Colin B
Our neighbour had used Bond residential and was pleased with the service so as the quotes from all three estate agents were the same we decided to go with Bond. All the staff were friendly and helpful but I mainly dealt with Chris Carline who was superb from start to finish. When we were concerned about the lack of potential buyers viewing our...
Peter G
Bond Residential, in the shape of Steve and Allen have been splendid throughout this sale process. Professional appraisal and presentation of the property and then excellent communication throughout, once matters were in the hands of the legal people. A beacon of sanity in this bizarre system of property sales. Thank you very much for your...

Sophie B
What should have been an extremely straight forward process (no chain) became a long and drawn out process (nearly 6 months), whereby the agent appeared to have no control or knowledge as to where things were at. Once my offer had been accepted, I continued to receive marketing emails on recent property added from the agent, and unsubscribed...
Kerrie P
Steve and the team at Bond provided an excellent service through out the process. They listened and acted with integrity. they have kept me updated and taken my requests on board with out being over bearing or over zealous like some other agencies can be. There was no pressure at any stage just good, accurate advise at every stage.
Ryan I
Michelle at Bonds could not have been more helpful. She effectively managed the process from start to finish meaning our move was hassle free. Nothing was too much trouble and communication was and continues to be excellent. We would not hesitate to recommend Bonds in general and Michelle in particular. Thank you !
Shane B
Bond Residential came to us highly recommended and they have not disappointed. Our property was let very quickly after only one viewing. Michelle handled the let in a very professional and yet friendly and approachable manner. i would certainly recommend Bond Residential to anyone thinking of letting their property.
Richard L
I first met Graham when we had to put Mum's house up for sale, due to personal circumstances. He visited the property promptly and offered suggestions for sale. I did meet with another agent, but it seemed that for the money, the internet would do all the work! How different Bonds' approach. Open house viewings organised for 2 different...
Mick B
As a buyer of a property sold by Bonds, their customer service and high work rate to get the sale negotiated, progressed and contracts exchanged was well above what we expected from an agent. The staff were all swift in responding to enquiries and very active in expediting the process with other parties.
Jethro C
We sold our house and purchased a new one through Bond. They were outstanding from start to finish. Everyone that we came into contact with was efficient, helpful and thorough. They knew exactly how to market the sale of our house and it was marketed and sold with 48hours! Throughout, we were made to feel that our sale and purchase were...
Lee H
Tony H
We have always received a high quality, professional service and honest advice from Bond Residential for the sale of our property so it was an added bonus that we were able to arrange our purchase through the same agent.
Paul J
I couldn't decide whether to sell or rent my property and Bonds gave me all the help and advice I needed to make the right decision. They made an anxious process for me very relaxed and manageable and I would confidently recommend using them to anyone......especially Michelle!
Chris L
I have purchased a property using Bond and sold a property via Bond. On both occasions they were efficient, honest and communicated all progression very well. They say that buying and selling property is extremely stressful - in my experience using Bond made it straight forward and stress free.
Janet E
Excellent service, 1st class would highly recommend to anyone looking to buy, rent or sell, many thanks
Sean K
Even though I live in Australia, Bond managed the entire sales process seamlessly and professionally. They went the extra mile to ensure the whole.process flowed smoothly.
Philip W
A very impressive service from the Bond Residential team who were always very professional and kept us informed at every step of the way. We would like to thank Lee and the team and would recommend their services.
Andrew S
Efficient service in supplying materials and solving problems, hard working efforts, highly suggested
Wu Z
The team worked very hard in taking the sale of the house through numerous difficulties caused mainly by the complexity of our buyers mortgage facility. They never gave up and kept us inthe loop with daily catch ups towards the end of the procedure. We are very grateful.
Alan J
After a long drawn out sale due to the buyer we have reached the end and I can't recommend the team at Bond residential enough. Most of the time they would keep me in the loop more than my solictor and did everything they could to keep the sale going through as quick as they possibly could. This is the second time I have used them and once again...
Cara R
At all times dealing with the staff at Bond, I found them polite, efficient, helpful and diligent. Any messages were passed onto the correct person ALWAYS. Very professional company and staff. Without doubt my biggest gratitude goes to Chris Carline who in my opinion did above and beyond what I would expect from an estate agent. His alertness...
Ian C
The team at Bond were excellent. From Directors down, we felt really looked after. We were on the market a few times after chains falling through and each time the team gave the same level of enthusiasm to get our house sold. If you're selling a property in Chelmsford, I couldn't think of another agent that could beat Bond's approach....
Lucie Selby
We've been really impressed with Bond throughout our sale. There were a few hurdles and challenges along road but Steve and his team were always patient and understanding and gave us the reassurance we needed at certain points. When you are dealing with something as big as selling your house and the stresses involved, you need to know you have...
Neil P
I have engaged with Bond Residential on multiple occasions as both a landlord and property seller, and their service has been nothing short of 5-star each and every time. The team are professional and personable at all times, and their expert advice and guidance has been a great assistance in both renting and ultimately selling my property....
Mike E
Michelle was professional from start to finish. As a first time Landlord she took me through the process, aiding me whenever needed, going that extra mile on many occasion.
Simon C
Michelle supported us through our tenancy at a time we distrusted the letting industry. She has shown us not all letting agents are the same. Michelle was always contactable and responded to us promptly. Works to the property were managed swiftly and professionaly. Often arranging it for the same week. The end of tenancy was completed...
Chris O
Graham, Chris and Jack were a great support to us when we were selling our home. They got us the best price for our property quickly and arranged viewings easily with the use of an open day. Contact was good and they were prompt in answering our queries through the selling process. We would not hesitate to use Bond Residential in the future.
Gemma C
Michelle provided a great service in finding me a new tenant. Always friendly and helpful answering any questions or concerns I had.
I have had the great pleasure of dealing with Bond Residential a number of times over the last few years. Most recently with the sale of my house in Chelsmford. I emmigrated to South Africa in 2010, I kept in touch with Bond Residential throughout; Steve and Graham and their team were always very very helpful when i enquired as to the state...
Duncan White
Every member of staff has been thoroughly professional and helpful during a difficult sale - not their fault just prospective buyers pulling out (2). But all well now. Without Bond's help I would not have found the home of my dreams. Very grateful for all their advice
Chrissie F
Thank you to Michelle at Bond Chelmsford for working so hard to find us the ideal tenant. As first time landlords we were nervous about finding the right tenant, but Michelle listened to our concerns and requirements and vetted all applicants carefully before talking to us about their suitability. Michelle was also very knowledgable about all...
Helen U
Bond residential and in particular Michelle Goodwin were always extremely helpful in finding a tenant for our property. We would not hesitate to recommend them.
Julie A
Please thank Chris & his team for their professional, yet personal service. They are a credit to Bond Residential Thanks Robin Jarvis
robin j
Excellent service received from Michelle in Lettings - her efficient, thorough and personable manner made the whole experience simple and stress free.
Sally M
In the last two years we have sold a house and rented out a new apartment through Bond Residential. We have received outstanding service from both Graham and Michelle and we would have no reservations about recommending them to our family and friends. A first class service.
kate H
The service provided by Michelle, has been very professional, efficient and friendly. She has kept us up to date with all developments from the first viewing through to our tenants moving in. A pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend Bond Residential
Samantha A
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the services of Bond Residential in Chelmsford. From our initial meeting and valuation with Graham the process has been smooth and efficient. The viewings were organised and carried out conveniently for us and all calls were promptly answered or returned. Huge credit has to go to Steve who worked very hard in...
Diana C
This has been a very stressful process and had it not been for Steve and his team (in particular Sara and Lee) we may well have given up, having been let down twice by prospective buyers. They encouraged us to keep our property on the market when we were about ready to give up> They found us another buyer very quickly, which has now meant we...
Alan H
Bond were excellent from start to finish. Chris was always at the other end of the phone and worked exceptionally hard to push the sale through. A great local agent who i would highly recommend.
Andrew B
Chris Carline did a great job communicating with myself as purchaser and my solicitor too. If I were to sell a property his work has put Bonds at the top of my list.
Paul S
Superb service throughout: getting the best possible price for my house, keeping me well informed throughout, helping me to keep my nerve when things seemed to be going wrong and steering everything to an extremely satisfactory conclusion. Street ahead of any other estate agent I have had contact with.
Jill W
Friendly agent and keeps you up to date with information
Stuart P
Outstanding service, very professional, approachable,reliable, efficient and friendly. We live in Cheshire & as such passed full control to Bond to sell a property in Essex for us. The staff here make a perfect team with each member knowing exactly what is going on & dealing with it accordingly. Special thanks go to Graham Huges for the...
Judith L
I would highly recommend Bond Estate Agents in Chelmsford and cannot praise the company enoujgh. Excellent customer service and any queries dealt with quickly. If you are renting ask for Michelle who is fantastic!!
And R
I want to start by saying thank you to Michelle and team of Bond Residential for all the support and guidance they provided during the transition of house moving from End to End.

Like a forest dressed in spring flowers, green is the foundation for this fanciful oasis of rest and privacy. A textured, mossy scatter rug rests on sandy-colored carpet, while above puffy clouds drift across the sky-blue ceiling. A hardworking gnome pauses for a moment to admire the tangerine daybed across the room — or perhaps he's just thinking how marvelously well the desk and chair match his trousers.
Life is an adventure when you share your sleeping space with an array of friendly critters and animals — some from this world, others from mythical lands. Ocean blue walls and a wooden sailor's bunk encourage voyages of imagination here. Plenty of shelving for books, atlases, and journals too, so young explorers can discover and remember.
Pretty in pink and white, any princess could hold court from her windowbox thrown while gazing out upon her country's rolling fields. Geometric shelving in an asymmetric layout create plenty of room for storing the treasures and forget-me-nots offered by her admirers. Or throw open the shutters to let sunshine warm the back of a smiling giraffe whose favorite spot is reclining against matched purple polka dot pillows.

Yeah, I saw that Sporting News article this afternoon too. It's certainly discouraging. I'm not really sure who to side with. Klinsmann has definitely made some questionable roster selections, put out some weird line-ups, and gotten some disappointing results.
However, it seems like really poor form for players to come out with this stuff right before a couple big qualifiers, and the players shouldn't try to shirk too much responsibility. I didn't get to see the Honduras game, but I think Klinsmann put out a reasonable line-up for that game given the players he had available. Keeping Bocanegra on the bench was a gamble, but it made sense, since he's slowing down, hasn't been playing much at the club level, and would have been chasing around quick Honduran forwards in the afternoon heat. The US has more talent than any team in CONCACAF other than Mexico. At some point the 11 guys on the field just need to get the job done regardless of formations, their friend being benched, etc.

Two others injured; all were wearing seatbelts.
A 57-year-old Portland man was killed early Saturday morning after his vehicle struck the guardrail, flipped over and was hit by another vehicle on I-96 near Kent Street, the Ionia County Sheriff's Office has reported.
Deputies responded around 12:10 a.m. to a report of a two-vehicle accident. The investigation determined that a Ford F150 truck, driven by the Portland man, was traveling eastbound when it left the roadway, struck a guardrail, and came to a rest on its roof in the eastbound travel lanes. A Ford Escape, driven by a 55-year-old Grand Rapids man, struck the Ford F150. The driver of the Escape was transported to Sparrow Hospital and is currently in stable condition. A 56-year-old female, who was a passenger in the Ford Escape, was transported to Sparrow Hospital and is in critical condition. The driver of the Ford F150 was pronounced dead at the scene.
All individuals involved were wearing safety belts, the ICSO said. Their names are not being released until their families have been notified.
The accident remains under investigation. It has not been determined if alcohol was involved, or if there were other factors contributing to the crash.

Really gutsy performance by Beasley, playing through the knocks and out of position, even if he did get burned on several occasions. Gonzalez was almost perfect in central defense. Bradley also was really calm and composed on the ball.

It's an equaliser. PSG swing in a free-kick from 40 yards out, Thiago Silva powers a wonderful header at goal. It pings back off the post and Ibramhimovic, a good yard and a half offside, is first to react and pokes home!
81 min: Barcelona just switched off a touch there, what with the chance from the corner and the clash of heads creating a collective mini head-frazzle. It was Villa who rather needlessly conceded the free-kick that led to the goal. They still have every right to feel aggrieved about the offside decision.
80 min GOAL!! PSG 1 Barcelona 1 (Ibrahimovic)
That's what good it is! Silva hits the post with an excellent header, Zlatan's quickest to the rebound but was clearly offside when Silva connected. I don't think he'll mind very much. PSG are back on non-away-goals terms.

There is something inspiring about spring and new beginnings, whether it's a seedling popping through soil or protons moving so fast they confirm a subatomic building block that gives everything in the universe its shape and size.
There is something inspiring about spring and new beginnings, whether it's a seedling popping through soil or protons moving so fast they confirm a subatomic building block that gives everything in the universe its shape and size.
If you talk to real gardeners - the kind that dead head other people's flowers without even thinking - they will inevitably say "there is always next year." It's a hint of the hope, faith and trust these gardeners put into the concept of not giving up.
So it was with great excitement that I went back to the home of the family that first started the concept of restoring our great outdoors. Grey Towers, in Milford, Pa, now a leadership center, is the ancestral summer home of Gifford Pinchot, one of the main founders of the conservation movement in this country. Built in 1886 by his parents, James and Mary Pinchot, Grey Towers today reflects the family's personal contribution to re-planting the estate's barren hillsides after James encouraged his eldest son, Gifford, to become a forester.
While Pinchot was experimenting with rebuilding forests nationwide, his wife Cornelia was making her own unique contributions. Grey Towers tours tend to focus on the inside of the European castle-inspired home but we snuck outside after one of the guides showed us a priceless wooden table where Cornelia used to unceremoniously dump her garden gloves and boots.
One of my favorite spots is an oval window in a free-standing rock wall that frames an old cherry tree. I was told it is stunning when the tree is in bloom. I'm sure it is but what caught my eye was the bench nearby, which invites one to sit down as if to wait for the tree to bloom any minute.
There is another garden near their son's playhouse with a center narrow band of water lined with wildflowers.
They were just starting to grow when I was there but I noticed the plants were in descending height order, a great way to trick the eye into thinking it is a shorter walk, especially if you're an excited little boy.
My favorite spot, and that of most visitors, is the "finger bowl," an oval, Italian ceramic-lined, above ground pool surrounded by 80-yr old wisterias. President Theodore Roosevelt, a close family friend, as well as other visitors would solve the world's problems there, under the open ceiling dome where moonlight poured through as they floated food across to each other.
Cornelia was known to flick a butter pad on the end of her knife across the pool to Gifford, who would deftly catch it in the middle of his slice of toast.
Talk about not giving up - how many times do you suppose they practiced that before they got it right?
I myself will try it again, too; outside next time.

Cheryl B. Schrader is chancellor of Missouri University of Science and Technology Follow her on Twitter at @SandTChancellor.
Last December, Scientific American published its annual list of the biggest science stories of 2012. As usual with lists like these, the editors included events that capture the public's fascination – such as Felix Baumgartner's record-breaking skydive and NASA's Curiosity expedition to Mars – as well as more obscure but no less important achievements, like the publication of ENCODE, the encyclopedia of DNA elements, which marks a breakthrough in genetics research. The list also included political topics, such as the Supreme Court's decision on the Affordable Care Act, as well as natural disasters, such as Hurricane Sandy and its devastation to the East Coast.
All of these stories were big news. But they weren't all necessarily science news.
From Baumgartner's sound-barrier-breaking descent to Curiosity's Mars landing to many other breakthroughs in 2012, engineering played a crucial role. And factors often attributed to "science" are, more accurately, feats of engineering.
Henry Petroski, a civil engineer and historian at Duke University, rightly points out the difference between science and engineering. "Science is about understanding the origins, nature and behavior of the universe and all it contains," he wrote in a December 2010 IEEE Spectrum article. Engineering, however, "is about solving problems by rearranging the stuff of the world to make new things."
Consider Baumgartner's breathtaking feat. Last October, the Austrian daredevil set the record for highest skydive ever by leaping from a balloon more than 24 miles above the Earth. In freefall, Baumgartner also became the first skydiver to break the sound barrier, hitting a top speed of Mach 1.4.
None of that would have happened without engineering – the rearranging of stuff, as Petroski might say.
Mechanical, structural and aeronautical engineers had a hand in designing the craft from which Baumgartner jumped. The full-pressure suit that protected him from head to toe is the result of materials engineers working hand-in-gloves with the laws of physics. The integrated circuitry of Baumgartner's suit, which allowed his team to constantly monitor his well-being during the dive, involved an impressive array of electrical engineering know-how. Even the way the world followed the event online is the result of the work of engineers and scientists who joined together half a century ago on a federal research project that give rise to the Internet.
Science and engineering are partners in discovery.
Without an understanding of the world around us, engineers would be unable to solve such complex problems like those connected to Baumgartner's descent to Earth. But too often, science has been hailed a hero, when engineering should get some, if not much, of the credit.
National Engineers Week is Feb. 17-23 this year.
"Celebrate Awesome" is the theme. The many engineering achievements of the past year, as described in Scientific American's top 10 list, give us all reason to marvel at the awesome and heroic feats our nation's engineers – working in partnership with science – bring to our everyday lives.

Els, Mickelson upstaged at Scottish Open
INVERNESS, Scotland (AP) — Ernie Els and Phil Mickelson endured frustrating second rounds at the Scottish Open as the tournament's headline acts were upstaged by some lesser-known players on Friday.
Chris Doak, ranked No. 341, was the surprise leader at the halfway stage of his home event after a second straight 66 left him at 12-under 132.
Matthew Southgate (64) was in a tie for second place with Ross Fisher (65), Peter Uihlein (66) and JB Hansen (65) a stroke back.
Conditions were ripe for low scoring on the Castle Stuart links but Els foundered on the greens and could only shoot a 2-under 70 to miss the cut a week before he defends his British Open title.
Mickelson, another four-time major winner, was tied for third after his first-round 66 but dropped back into a tie for 13th after a 70.
"I had no idea on these greens — I'm glad I'm leaving," said Els, who still felt his game is in good shape heading to Muirfield.
Past British Open winners Darren Clarke and Padraig Harrington joined Els in missing the weekend and defending Scottish Open champion Jeev Milkha Singh won't be around either after a second-round 74.
That put the Indian on 3 under — a shot below the cut, which was the lowest this season on the European Tour.
It leaves Mickelson as the biggest draw for the galleries for the final two rounds and he said he is poised to make a charge in his bid to capture his first title on links.
"I was just a little bit off," said the eighth-ranked American, who started off with a bogey for the second straight round but wowed the crowd with a wonderful lob shot onto the third green to set up one of his four birdies. "But I'm in a position where if I get a hot round, I can make up the ground."
The last Scot to win his national Open was Colin Montgomerie in 1999 — but Doak has a great chance to end that barren run.
Wearing his signature flat cap in honor of his idol Ben Hogan, the 35-year-old Glaswegian thrilled the locals on a sunny, calm morning by the Moray Firth by making three birdies in the first six holes and then adding two more as well as an eagle 3 at No. 12.
He has flitted between the European Tour and second-tier Challenge Tour in recent years, but his resume is littered with triumphs on the Highlands links in his younger days. And he gained confidence by qualifying for last month's U.S. Open.
"That experience all in all was great and spurs you on to get back there," said Doak, one of 19 Scots in the 156-man field.
Likewise, Southgate is in uncharted territory after his 64, the lowest round of the week. But he is a dangerous links player owing to his membership at Carnoustie — arguably the toughest of the nine courses on the British Open rota — that he was given for a birthday present as a 16-year-old.
"Every player needs a big break — this could be mine," said the 24-year-old Englishman, who worked in a snooker hall six years ago to pay his way as his golf career struggled to get going.
"Where other people may feel a bit uncomfortable bouncing it 20 yards short of the green or hitting this little shot, that little shot, I just step up, see it and play it. It's a shame we don't play more links golf. If the wind picks up, I'll take that."
Els was a late entrant into the tournament as he sought some links practice ahead of Muirfield — where he won the British Open in 2002 and where he will defend the title captured last year at Lytham.
Off the tee, the South African has played solidly this week but he has struggled on the greens and some of his approach shots haven't been up to his usual standard. He doesn't, however, see this as a problem ahead of next week and his shot at a third claret jug.
"These courses are so different — Muirfield is a lot more traditional links," Els said. "I got a lot of awkward bounces this week but I feel I'm swinging well, striking the ball well.
"I think my game is where I want it."

I'm glad my doctor's secretary is so kindJuly 23, 2008 at 5:46 pm | Posted in Me, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 1 Comment
Tags: Add new tag, arthritis, doctor, doctor's receptionst, doctor's secretary, GP, knee, knee joint, knee pain, Rheumatoid arthritis, steroid injection, steroids, swelling
Just went to the doctors to pick up a letter the doc said he'd write so that I could send it to the train company in the hopes they'll refund the tickets for a trip to Wales I had planned, but had to cancel because of the state of my knee. 'Pick it up early next week' he said. So I thought well, I'll leave it until Wednesday to make sure it's done.
Went in this evening – explained to the receptionist. She looked in the file. 'I'm sorry, it's not here.'
'He did say I should pick it up early in the week.'
'Well it's only Wednesday now love.'
'Well to my mind early in the week means Monday or Tuesday, and I left it until today just to make sure it was done.'
'Well it depends how you look at it really, doesn't it love? Early in the week could mean Wednesday too.'
'No, not really. I'd call that midweek.'
'Oh well, nothing I can do I'm afraid – it's not here.'
'Well could you at least check my notes to see if he's made a note to do it?'
'Well … I don't know if …' Sees the steam coming out of my ears, 'Well, I'll have a look … Oh, well it says here it was done yesterday. Thing is the secretaries have all gone home now and perhaps they haven't typed it yet. The only thing I can suggest is that you call and ask for Dr Dashes secretary, Debbie, tomorrow, and she'll be able to tell you exactly what's happened to it.'
So off I go, fuming and steaming, not to mention limping, only to get home and find a letter on the mat addressed to me. Open it and what do you think is inside? The letter from the doctor.
Soooo thoughtful of the secretary to realise that she's writing a letter about someone with a very swollen and painful knee, and wouldn't it be a kindness to post it? Such a pity the doctor wasn't equally thoughtful … as he'd told me to pick it up.
There, feel better for the rant!
More importantly my knee is also finally on the mend – I think the steroid injection, however painful it was at the time, has really done the trick.

"We're getting the job done," Gov. Pat Quinn kept on saying Wednesday in his State of the State speech.
That sounds suspiciously like a campaign slogan, and that's essentially what his speech was, according to both of Rockford's state senators, Republican Dave Syverson and Democrat Steve Stadelman.
The governor repeated things he said he'd accomplished, such as enacting pension reform and spending $31 billion on infrastructure projects.
"So far, we've built and repaired 7,595 miles of road, 1,311 bridges and 978 schools," he said. Quinn also injected a thorn in Rockford's side, saying boldly, "We're moving forward with the south suburban airport."
The governor touted passage of gay marriage on his watch, saying, "Five years ago Illinois did not guarantee equal rights to all couples. Our state did not even provide civil unions. Today we embrace full marriage equality - it's the law of the land."
He boasted of cutting spending by $1 billion and said he saved taxpayers $2 billion by cutting back - he used the word "reforming" - the projected growth of Medicaid.
Quinn called for a $10 minimum wage - Illinois' minimum wage is now $8.25, a dollar above the national level - and a doubling of the earned income tax credit. He wants to greatly expand early childhood education, and to double MAP college scholarships.
Quinn proposed to lower the fee for starting an LLC corporation from $500 to $39, and to establish the job of small business advocate.
However, Quinn was vague about paying for expanding the government. He didn't mention a word about the "temporary" income tax increase that is set to partially expire at the end of the year. Nor did he mention proposals to give Illinois a progressive income tax that could raise taxes on everyone earning more than about $18,000 a year.
Syverson was fiercely critical of the speech, saying "it sounded more like a campaign speech. He's talking about all the good things that have been introduced. The problem is, independent studies don't show that things are better. Moody's ranked Illinois 50th in projected growth." He cited moving company statistics that say many more people are leaving the state than coming here.
Syverson charged that raising the minimum wage would throw people out of work and place a burden on business owners. "We need more middle class jobs, not more minimum wage jobs," he said.
Stadelman was more positive about Quinn's speech, but he agreed it sounded more like a campaign kickoff.
"It was a general speech, not a lot of details. He was stating his case for re-election. He pointed out that the state has come far in the five years he's been in office," Stadelman said.
"I appreciated his comments about stopping the fiscal bleeding and improving finances. The state's unpaid bills have gone from $9.5 billion to $5.5 billion, a cut by nearly half. Progress is being made and I want to see it continue."
I asked him about doubling the earned income tax credit, and Stadelman said he needs to see more details before agreeing that it should be doubled.
"I think it's been a good thing, a useful tool to improve people's lives. Should we double it? I really don't know without doing some analysis."
Rather than increase Illinois' minimum wage unilaterally, Stadelman says such action should be taken at the federal level.
"If states don't have uniform rates, we could be noncompetitive with surrounding states. It's not good to have one rate in a state, and a different rate for the state next door," Stadelman said.
State Rep. Chuck Jefferson, D-Rockford, applauded the governor's push to raise the minimum wage.
"The more money you put into the economy the better off we're going to be. The $10 minimum wage will enhance jobs. People will be able to go to work, and they'll spend more money," Jefferson said.
But Jefferson isn't sure the state can afford to double the earned income tax credit.
"I don't know if we can double it. Maybe we can increase it, but less than that."
Jefferson said the governor is right to focus on increasing educational opportunities, "otherwise our kids will be the last of the lot."
Other than those things, the speech "was a lot of stuff we've heard before," Jefferson concluded.

Wyatt Binkley is off to a pretty good start in his varsity wrestling career with Greencastle-Antrim High School.
MECHANICSBURG — Wyatt Binkley is off to a pretty good start in his varsity wrestling career with Greencastle-Antrim High School.
A 10th grader who competed on the middle school team a year ago, Binkley has been anything but average in his first year of varsity competition.
The 106-pounder breezed through the competition with barely a hiccup on Saturday in the Section I-AAA Wrestling Championships at Mechanicsburg Area Senior High School, going 4-0 and winning his weight class to enter this weekend's South Central Regional Championships at Hersheypark Arena as one of four sectional winners.
"He's wrestling pretty well," said G-A head coach Fred Yelton, who also will be joined by G-A 113-pounder Cody Carbaugh in the regional tournament after Carbaugh placed second in sectionals. "He's had a strong year and we expected him to do well. He was pretty dominant on the day. He was dominant from the top position and rides real well. he's accomplished everything he's set out to do."
Binkley started the day with a quick pin against West Perry's Mike Vital. After taking down Vital early in the first period, Binkley rode Vital until he turned him to his back at 1:49 in a quarterfinal round match. Binkley then decisioned Mechanicsburg's Drew Tochterman 4-0 in the semifinals before defeating Parker Hillard of Cumberland Valley in the finals, 8-2.
"I set high goals," Binkley said after his win over Vital, his 21st of the season. "Me and Cody (Carbaugh) were very good friends. Practicing with him makes me better. Traveling during summer has also paid off. I've wrestled a lot of these kids."
Binkley, the top seed at his weight class, said he was expecting to face Chambersburg's Colin Runshaw, a second seed, in the finals. Instead, Hillard, who earlier defeated Waynesboro's Ryan Neff in the quarterfinals, pinned Runshaw in 4:35 to advance to the championship match.
Runshaw still qualified for the regional tournament after defeating Tochterman in the consolation finals, 8-2.
Yelton had no doubts that Binkley was going to be competing to the level of his competition.
"I think he's wrestled enough competitive matches this year and in past years," Yelton said. "He's wrestled multiple high caliber kids. Every day wrestling with Cody, too. I don't think he's going to be too in awe of any situation."
From the get-go of the 113-pound weight class, it appeared that Carbaugh and Chambersburg's Tanner Shoap were headed for a collision in the finals. It happened.
Shoap, the top seed, and Carbaugh, the second seed, coasted in their first two matches to meet up in the title match, won by Shoap, 14-0.
Carbaugh pinned Justin Evans of Shippensburg in 47 seconds, while Shoap took care of Big Spring's Josh Fauver in just 23 seconds. In the semifinals, Carbaugh pinned West Perry's Marshall Myers in 3:47 and Shoap earned a 14-3 major decision against James Buchanan's Hunter Faith.
"Tanner is a very accomplished and highly skilled kid and returning state placer," Yelton said. "I was proud of how (Cody) wrestled in the first period. He didn't back down or try to run from him. He was aggressive. He opened it up and gave it his best shot."

Eight couples wanting to have wedding anniversary dates of 12-12-12 applied for marriage licenses at the Pottawatomie County courthouse Wednesday, with six ceremonies performed by judges.
Eight couples wanting to have wedding anniversary dates of 12-12-12 applied for marriage licenses at the Pottawatomie County courthouse Wednesday, with six ceremonies performed by judges.
Among the couples were Joshua Stone and Tara Waldrup, who were pronounced Mr. and Mrs. Stone by District Judge John Canavan just before 5 p.m.
The judge, who conducted two morning ceremonies, set several ceremonies for a late afternoon wedding docket. As they awaited their turn, the couple, who've been engaged more than a year, reflected on the significance of choosing 12-12-12 as their wedding date.
"We planned to get married anyway…we figured there's not a better day than 12-12-12," Waldrup said.
For the groom, the answer was simpler.
"It's easy to remember," Stone said.
Waldrup's 8-year-old son, Levi, along with the bride's parents, Jeff and Shelli Waldrup, were among those attending the nuptials.
"It's supposed to be a lucky day," Shelli Waldrup said about the special date, with Jeff Waldrup adding, "We're very proud of them."
Levi, who was excited about "getting a new dad," Jeff Waldrup said, still had homework to do after witnessing the wedding.
After Judge Canavan conducted the ceremony in his courtroom, he congratulated the couple for their 12-12-12 wedding.
While many have wanted to have anniversary dates with the same month, day and year, technically, as far as the courthouse weddings go, it was only possible 10 times this Century.
Canavan told the couple the courthouse was closed on Jan. 1, 2001 for New Year's Day, and on Nov. 11, 2011 for Veteran's Day.
"So there's only 10 days in the Century with the same month, day and year," for courthouse weddings, Canavan said.
Canavan married five of Wednesday's couples while Associate District Judge John Gardner married one.
It was estimated by David's Bridal, a U.S.-based company, that at least 7,500 couples across the U.S. would marry on Wednesday because of the significant date.
And there was no exception in Las Vegas, known as the land of wedding chapels, where it was reported marriage licenses tripled because of the significant date.
According to Vicki MacKinnon, author of "Please Take a Number: Numerology for Real Life and Everyday Success," Wednesday's date represents two energies merging, including masculine and feminine energies.
MacKinnon, of Calgary, Alberta, said those kinds of energy are good news for couples marrying on 12-12-12.
Mr. and Mrs. Stone plan to make their home in Shawnee.
There were three couples in Lincoln County and three couples in Seminole County who applied for marriage licenses on Wednesday.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Bayou Region will be well represented when Jackson State and Arkansas-Pine Bluff get together to settle the SWAC Championship.
The Bayou Region will be well represented when Jackson State and Arkansas-Pine Bluff get together to settle the SWAC Championship.
Thanks to a four-game winning streak to close out the regular season, Jackson State came out on top of the SWAC's East division and will play West division champion, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, for the conference championship at noon Dec. 8 at Legion Field in Birmingham, Ala. The game will be televised by ESPNU.
Making contributions to Jackson State's successful season are former Thibodaux High standout Dylan Douglas and former H.L. Bourgeois and John Curtis quarterback Evan Ingram, who is a junior.
Douglas, who started his college career at Mississippi College, walked on at Jackson State two years ago ,and due to an injury, he has become a starting tight end for the Tigers.
"I went through (training) camp and it was the hardest camp I ever experienced. The coaches felt like I could be the starter, but camp did go well and I finished on second string," Douglas said. "It was in our third game against Texas Southern that the guy in front of me hurt his collarbone. I got the start in Week 4 against Southern and we lost, but since that game, we started to mesh and play better as a team."
Jackson State (7-4 overall, 7-2 in SWAC) did start to play better winning five of its final six games with the only loss during that stretch coming to Arkansas-Pine Bluff, 34-24.
Douglas said that mistakes lead to his team's downfall against Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
"Mistakes killed us and we fumbled on the first drive of the game. They have a good defensive line and their offense is very good," said Douglas, a redshirt sophomore. "We have a lot of people stepping up and making plays (since that game). They do have a good team, and they aren't 9-2 for nothing."
Douglas has seven receptions for 55 yards on the season, and he said balance on offense has been a key in getting Jackson State to the title game.
"We started the season wanting to throw the ball 50 times, but our running backs took off and we became more balanced," Douglas said. "Once our quarterback settled in we started to click and we started to mesh. We started this season 1-3, but we stuck together and kept fighting."
Douglas said coming out of a tough East division has made Jackson State battled-tested, and he hopes that gives the Tigers an advantage in the rematch with Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
"When we played them, we felt like we could beat them. But there was an hour rain delay and we came out in the second half and it was freezing cold," Douglas said. "We felt like the East was much more tougher to come out of and that should help. We have a lot of young players who are stepping up and they will see some new faces out of the field. We will have to play better on special teams and we got to handle their defensive line, which is very good."

Although a Thibodaux father accused of decapitating his son had been telling investigators and doctors he believed the boy was not a real person, he told one psychologist he was real.
A Thibodaux man accused of decapitating his son had been telling investigators and doctors he believed the boy was not a real person, but he told one psychologist he was real, according to court testimony.
"Right up to the end, ... the more I cut with a hacksaw, the more I saw it was real. The blood and guts convinced me," psychologist Glenn Ahava testified Thursday of statements made by Jeremiah Wright, 31.
Not long after making that statement last summer, Wright was declared competent by doctors, released from the mental hospital that had been treating him and sent back to the Lafourche Parish jail.
Ahava was on the stand all day Thursday in the third day of a hearing to convince a judge whether Wright is competent to be tried for the Aug. 14, 2011, first-degree murder of his son, 7-year-old Jori Lirette, who had cerebral palsy.
Ahava testified Thursday that Wright is competent to stand trial, and "if he chose to do so, he would be able to testify."
Ahava and psychiatrist Mark Wilson were who the state Department of Health and Hospitals assigned to assess Wright's competency. Wilson has not testified, but District Attorney Cam Morvant II has used these two men as foils to some of the defense's doctors during this hearing.
While the defense's witnesses have testified that during the times they examined Wright he was not fit to stand trial, Morvant has pointed out they only examined him over a few interviews. Wilson and Ahava, who declared him fit, have observed him over a period of months.
"Mr. Wright can be quite eloquent, although brief," Ahava said on the stand. "He has a clear way of speaking — blunt."
Ahava said he believes Wright would be able to handle cross-examination because when he confronted Wright during interviews, "he handled himself very well."
The psychologist interviewed him to see if he understands courtroom proceedings and the different pleas he could make. And he asked Wright what would happen if a juror knew him and didn't like him.
"Well, I'm (expletive) out of luck. That's the whole town," Ahava said was Wright's response.
Nearly all witnesses have debated the question of whether the things Wright has said — such as the ideas that Lirette was fake like a CPR dummy and that Lirette was placed in his house as part of a government experiment — are a genuine reflection of what he's thinking or an attempt to stay in the mental hospital. If he goes to trial, he could be sentenced to death.
While some witnesses have taken the stance that Wright is not feigning mental illness, Ahava said there's a possibility that he is, although he cannot be sure.
Defense lawyers accused Ahava of leaving out results of psychological tests that showed Wright was being genuine. One of his attorneys, Cecilia Bonin, has previously said doctors at the hospital were biased because of Wright's statement to a guard that he was not worried about his charge and was "on Easy Street" because he had good lawyers.
Ahava testified that Wright told a social worker in the hospital that before being jailed, he never heard voices and only said that to collect a Social Security check. While observing Wright interact with others at the hospital, his exchanges "were markedly put together" compared to "when I met with him," Ahava said.
Based on the number of witnesses who could still potentially testify in the hearing, it could continue into the weekend.
State District Judge John LeBlanc of Thibodaux, who is presiding over the hearing and will ultimately decide if Wright is fit to proceed to trial, doesn't necessarily have to make a decision about Wright's competency the day the hearing ends, First Assistant District Attorney Kristine Russell said.

This can be a accurate tale about my girlfriend and me. It is our adorable tale and the way we took our virginities with each other. She is know that I am doing this and totally supports it. Actually, she study it and cherished it. Therefore if folks like it, I will post about much more of our sexual escapades. I understand this one is really a small [okay, a LOT] prolonged, and that i apologize. I just truly desired to inform this tale. I guarantee it is well worth the study, although. I opened my eyes, blinded from the sunlight pouring in to the space via my window. I rolled more than to take a look at the clock. It had been only 9AM. I attempted to return to rest, but I just could not. 9AM on the Sunday was as well early for me. I used to be generally asleep till midday in the earliest. But these days was various. These days, destiny stepped in.
I sat up, pulled the addresses off, and stood up. Becoming up this early truly was an inconvenience; I could hardly stand. Some thing needed to be carried out. If I could not return to rest, I'd to locate a method to get up. Totally. I received a shower. Did not function. I received dressed and went in to the residing space to look at Television. I used to be nonetheless way as well exhausted. I went in to the kitchen area to locate espresso. We had been out. I'd 1 choice: head out and acquire espresso. I did not possess a vehicle, so I'd to stroll, but fortunately there was a Starbucks a couple of blocks absent. I grabbed my wallet and my keys and headed out. It took me not than 10 minutes to achieve my location, for which I used to be extremely grateful. The chilly climate wasn't nice, particularly so early each morning. However the warmth from the developing warmed me up immediately.
I stood in line to get a couple of minutes. Once i received towards the counter, I requested a tall latte with additional foam. I required that additional sugar, particularly these days. I paid out, received my latte, and turned towards the doorway to go away. Nevertheless, some thing caught my eye as I did so: fairly probably probably the most stunning woman I'd at any time noticed in my whole lifestyle, with no question. It had been outstanding. She was sitting down in a desk throughout from her buddy, obviously in discussion. It had been a great factor, as well, simply because experienced she not been distracted, she'd most likely discover me looking at her. In the fifteen-foot length, I could see her piercing blue eyes. She was sporting a black bucket hat that coated the majority of her wavy, shoulder-length, brown hair. Her lips had been pout and perfectly-shaped and he or she experienced an ideal snub nose. She was just ideal. In the second I noticed her, she seemed...nicely...ideal.

How do you effectively communicate to a kid or parent that bullying is wrong?
How do you effectively communicate to a kid or parent that bullying is wrong?
The Premier Centre for the Arts and Delaware State University saw fit to create an anti-bullying public service announcement, starring PCA performers, with DSU's mass communication students handling the scriptwriting and filming duties.
This collaboration occurred Monday evening at PCA. The result was the creation of a PSA promoting anti-bullying, which has since been uploaded to YouTube under the title: "DSU Bateman Competition PSA Bully Free Bus Zone."
"I love to act and I thought it'd be cool to be in a [PSA]," said actress Alyssa Jackson, 11, of Middletown. "My parents are really proud of me and it makes me feel good about myself because I'm taking a stand against bullying, even though I play a bully."
The PSA, barley under two minutes, features a boy being bullied on a school bus by several of his peers. Mean kids harass the poor child in various ways, including hitting him with crumpled paper and tripping him. Another student even records the humiliated boy with a smartphone as he's being ridiculed. The PSA ends with an onlooker standing up for the bullied kid, advising his tormentors to refrain from their attacks.
The PSA's message is one that PCA instructor Nick Manerchia feels needs to be told.
"It's a message that [shows] it's not just in the classroom, it's not just on the playground. It can happen on the bus," said Manerchia, 23, a graduate from Middletown High School who was bullied for having blubbery lips as a lad.
The idea to create the PSA was hatched by Francine Edwards, associate professor for DSU's mass communications department, whose students were interested in entering the 2013 Bateman Case Study Competition. The Bateman Case Study is the Public Relations Students Society of America's national case study competition for public relations students, and gives them an opportunity to apply their classroom education and internship experiences to create and implement a full public relations campaign.
This year's Case Study tasks students with increasing awareness about the short-term and long-term consequences of youth bullying, and inform audiences of the steps they can take to help prevent and report bullying. Winners of the competition will be announced during the PRSSA 2013 National Conference in Philadelphia, Pa., held Oct. 25-29.
Edwards, of Townsend, says she wanted to work with PCA because she was familiar with its theater productions and knew its performers would be perfect for the PSA.
"They did a great job," said Edwards, 43, who's also the reigning 2012 Mrs. Delaware United States. "I think it's another great way to work with the community, and definitely with people who are concerned and care about trying things to help improve the lives of kids."
As part of their research on bullying, Edwards and her students performed case studies at the Corbit-Calloway Public Library in Odessa with parents and kids between the ages of 7 and 12.
"The census is that sometimes teachers ignore the bullying, because sometimes the bully gets on everybody's nerves," Edwards said. "The thought is, if we ignore them, maybe the bully will stop. Parents were saying there's that view where [being bullied is] a rite of passage, so a little bullying can make you a little tougher, a little stronger."
Some of the short-term and long-term consequences of bullying Edwards mentioned included victims developing anxiety, as well as kids committing suicide.

University of Vermont
2012-2013 Catalogue
CAS Requirements for the Bachelor of Arts
Students must comply with the degree requirements as stated in a single catalogue edition in place during the time they are enrolled. The catalogue edition to be followed is the one in effect at the time the student matriculates at UVM, unless the student requests in writing to follow an edition that is published subsequently during his/her enrollment at UVM. Students may not mix requirements from different catalogues.
Students who do not complete the degree within seven years must comply with the requirements in the catalogue current at the date of readmission. Disputed rulings may be appealed to the Committee on Academic Standing.
A student must earn a cumulative grade-point average of 2.00 in a program comprised of a minimum of 120 semester credits. Students receiving degrees from the College of Arts and Sciences may apply no more than eight credits of physical education toward the 120 required for graduation.
Of the 120 credits required, students electing a minor offered by the college must complete 96 credits in courses offered by departments and programs in the College of Arts and Sciences. The remaining 24 credits may be taken in courses offered by any academic unit at the University of Vermont. Students electing an approved minor offered by another school or college of the university must complete 84 credits in courses offered by the departments and programs in the College of Arts and Sciences. The remaining 36 credits, to include courses required for the minor, may be taken in courses offered by any academic unit of the University of Vermont.
No more than eight credits of Military Studies may apply toward the degree. Courses taken on a pass/no pass basis may not be used toward completion of any requirement listed below under sections C and D and E.
A student must be matriculated in the College of Arts and Sciences and in residence at the University of Vermont during the period in which he/she earns thirty of the last forty-five credits applied toward the degree.
College of Arts and Sciences Guidelines for a Second Bachelor's Degree
The Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science in the College of Arts and Sciences are not tagged degrees. As a consequence, someone who has completed either a B.A. or a B.S. in Arts and Sciences will not receive a second degree should s/he complete an additional major within the same degree.
If a B.A. or B.S. graduate of Arts and Sciences is readmitted and/or completes an additional major beyond the one used toward the original diploma, the additional major and course work will be added to the transcript. A second degree will only be awarded when the additional course work completed satisfies the requirements for a different degree with a different major from the one initially awarded (i.e., B.A. graduate with major in physics completes requirements for B.S. with major in chemistry).
Students who do not complete the degree within seven years must comply with the requirements in the catalogue current at the time of readmission. Students readmitted to complete a second degree, or to complete an additional major within the same degree must also comply with this rule.
A student must complete the following courses which comprise the General and Distribution Requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree. All courses used to satisfy these requirements must carry at least three credits and may not be taken on a pass/no pass basis.

Microsoft will allow self-publishing on the Xbox One - Every Xbox One will be a development unit. "Our vision is that every person can be a creator. That every Xbox One can be used for development. That every game and experience can take advantage of all of the features of Xbox One and Xbox LIVE. This means self-publishing. This means Kinect, the cloud, achievements. This means great discoverability on Xbox LIVE. We'll have more details on the program and the timeline at gamescom in August." No matter how much Microsoft screwed up the initial PR around the new Xbox, this is just awesome news.

Firefox 29 has been released, and the most prominent new feature is an entirely new user interface. It's smoother and less angular, and has clearly been designed to somewhat resemble Google Chrome. Hence, I personally think it's a major step forward - except for Firefox' version of the Chrome menu, which uses a grid of icons instead of a list (?!) - but I'm nearly 100% convinced many Firefox users will not like it. It's change, after all.
Luckily, Firefox is customisable to the point of insanity, so I'm pretty sure you can revert to the old look with the right themes and extensions.

It's National Health Center Week, and it couldn't be at a better time – this year, it coincides with the 3rd annual Latina Week of Action for Reproductive Justice. This Week of Action we are focusing on showing Latina power in service of health care access, and community health centers have been a site of access for Latinas across the nation for years.
As it stands right now, Latinas have the lowest health insurance rates of any other group ethnic group of women. While the Affordable Care Act (ACA) stands poised to radically change this number as many Latinas become eligible for tax credits to help purchase coverage or become newly eligible for Medicaid, we know that many Latinas will fall through the cracks. Particularly, we are concerned about immigrant Latinas – because many legally-residing immigrants will be ineligible for Medicaid due to the 5-year bar and undocumented immigrants will not be eligible at all, community health centers will provide a crucial role for immigrant communities post-ACA. That's because community health centers provide free or low-cost care to low-income people, regardless of their documentation status, and are an essential site of access to care for immigrant communities. Additionally, the Affordable Care Act provides $11 billion over five years to improve and expand community health centers across the nation, with an emphasis on creating centers in medically underserved areas. This means that community health centers will become an increasingly important place for immigrants to access the important primary and preventive health care they need to keep themselves and their families healthy.
For these reasons, it is important for us to connect the National Health Center Week and the Week of Action. We must make sure that the ACA is fully implemented and funded so that we can make sure that those much-needed funds go to community health centers nationwide, and we must demand that our states expand Medicaid so that as many Latinas as possible have coverage.
