A short-term resident of the Dakota Zoo in Bismarck receives a warm send-off at Fort Lincoln State Park.
Two months ago, a bald eagle was found unable to fly near Lincoln.
He was then transported to the Dakota Zoo for rehabilitation.
Saturday morning, he is being released back into the wild.
Despite high winds and freezing temperatures, Zoo Director Terry Lincoln says today was the perfect day to release the eagle.
"He's actually been outside every day since we've received him. So, he's very well acclimated to the winter weather. It's really a good time to release him. It's nice and windy. He can move where he wants to. It doesn't phase an eagle. They're built for this kind of stuff."
Bon Voyage!
Rehabilitated eagles are typically released at Fort Lincoln State Park because of the habitat near the Missouri River.

Comments On Dec 28, 2013:This is a very high quality piston, it looks identical to stock. After seeing the prices of a OEM piston kit, I decided to go with this and I couldn't be happier. So far I have put 60 hours on the piston and it still has strong compression. I recommend this piston to everyone!

Comments On Nov 17, 2013:Good looking product and fit just fine. The only reason for the downgrade is due to my hatred for the wrist pin retainer clips that come with these kits. They could do better. I know they're the same as stock - but these are extremely difficult to install and often results in marring the piston up by the time you're done. They could use a different type of retainer clip that would cause buyers much less difficulty.

Things Microsoft needs to do at E3 to dominate
[Continued] Page 3
Let the Services Flow
Microsoft has done a great job with its Xbox Live services, namely with the UFC channel, HBO Go and Netflix. But what's next on the board? How about more creative uses of the Kinect and Xbox Live channels, letting people open up their own social channels? Or, for that matter, providing community services that can make up for the recent cancellation of the Inside Xbox channel? After all, Xbox Live has a huge community behind it, with millions of users, both hardcore and casual, taking part and able to provide advice and gameplay tips. For that matter, how about something that lends to the Ambassador side of things — letting them guide new users through their paces across the service and show newcomers what they're in for? The possibilities are open wide. And for that matter, more sports services — like the NFL Network — would be welcome, as well.


text: Ok so I'm kinda new to all of this. My husband and I are TTC. We thought I was pregnant already because my period was 2 weeks late but it finally came. It started the 17th and ended the 22nd. I have never kept track of anything or charted anything so I was wondering of someone could tell me when we would have the best chances of concieving. Also wondering if you could give us any tips or advice to help concieve.

Dylan Thomas called SWANSEA (Abertawe) – his birthplace – an "ugly, lovely town", which fellow poet Paul Durcan updated to "pretty, shitty city". Both ring true. Sprawling and boisterous, with around 200,000 people, Swansea may be only the second city of Wales, but it's the undoubted Welsh capital of attitude, coated in a layer of chunky bling. The city centre was massively rebuilt after devastating bomb attacks in World War II, and a jumble of tower blocks now dot the horizon. But closer inspection reveals Swansea's multifarious charms: some intact old corners of the city centre, the spacious and graceful suburb of Uplands, a wide seafront overlooking Swansea Bay and a bold marina development around the old docks. Spread throughout are some of the best-funded museums in the country, including the stunning National Waterfront Museum.
Brief history
Swansea's Welsh name, Abertawe, refers to the mouth of the River Tawe, a grimy ditch that is slowly recovering after centuries of abuse by heavy industry. The city itself dates back to 1099 when William the Conqueror's troops built a castle here. A settlement grew around this, later exploiting its location between the coalfields and the sea to become a shipbuilding centre, and then, by 1700, the largest coal port in Wales. Copper smelting took over as the area's dominant industry in the eighteenth century, and this attracted other metal trades, developing the region into one of the world's most prolific metal-bashing centres.Read More
Maritime Quarter
Maritime Quarter
The spit of land between Oystermouth Road, the sea and the Tawe estuary has been christened the Maritime Quarter – tourist-board-speak for the old docks – with legions of modern flats surrounding a vast marina.
National Waterfront Museum
On the marina, Swansea's sublime National Waterfront Museum was carved out of the shell of the old Industrial and Maritime Museum, which has been stunningly extended to house a breathtakingly varied set of exhibitions dealing with Wales's history of innovation and industry. The museum is divided into fifteen zones, looking at topics such as energy, landscape, coal, genealogy, networks and money, and each section is bursting with interactive technology. Within the complex, there are shops, a café and a lovely waterfront balcony.

Tresch Family Farm
Joe and Kathy Tresch
Organic cows at the Tresch farm
The Tresch family with two of their three children
The Tresches have been with Straus since 1996
With almost 2,100 acres and 900 Holstein milking cows the Tresch Family Farm, located in beautiful Sonoma County, is Straus Family Creamery's largest milk supplier. Joe and Kathy Tresch own the farm that also hosts an organic apple orchard with more than 50 apple varieties and two cultivated acres of organic vegetables. Joe and Kathy are deeply connected with their land and started their conversion to organic in 1995. This was only two years after Albert Straus converted his dairy and in 1996 their cows became the second certified organic herd in the California.
The Tresch family has been in the California dairy business since Joe's family emigrated from Switzerland to California in the 1870s. The family's journey took them from Cayucos Valley to Rio Vista in Northern California and finally to its current location in Petaluma. The land remained within the family and after Joe's father passed away, Joe purchased the 320 acres from his step-mother in 1988 and leased an adjacent 1,189 acres.
It was this leased land that would bring Joe Tresch and the Straus family together for the first time. In 1988, the City of Santa Rosa attempted to acquire the leased land so they could pump wastewater into the entire valley and create a sewage reservoir. Joe and Kathy chose to fight this plan and found allies in the Straus family, who were active members of the Friends of Estero organization, which tried to prevent the creation of the reservoir. After six long years they succeeded in saving the valley and in 1996 the Tresches won the Sierra Club's Environmentalists of the Year Award.
Working with Straus Family Creamery
It was during that time that Kathy saw a Straus Family Creamery ad in a local newspaper about "organic cows looking for likeminded sisters". Joe had always been committed to being a pasture-based and herbicide-free operation and was already following numerous organic farm practices. This was unusual at that time. Their philosophy of producing healthy food and taking care of their land and cows was aligned with the values of the Straus family. Straus Family Creamery needed more milk and the Tresches wanted to transition to organic - the collaboration was a natural one. Within 5 years they achieved their conversion and have been organic milk suppliers of Straus Family Creamery ever since.

MARK KENNY Opinion The PM refuses to lead on global warming but is gung-ho on dealing with global terror.
Role of Arab states in fighting IS fraught
Rodger Shanahan Arab states that have publicly participated in the US-led air strikes against Islamic State must be careful not to alienate their own populations or further Iran's aims.

Intel's new Core i3 and i5 dual-cores arrived with a bang, offering more performance than the Core 2 Duo family they'll eventually replace. The integration of a graphics unit into the processor may be a key enabler to maximizing efficiency of LGA 1156 systems, but just how much more efficient is Intel's new platform? We grabbed an H55-based motherboard and the Core i5-661 (centering on the Clarkdale core) to compare with Intel's Core 2 Duo E8600 and G45 chipset. We also compared against an AMD 785G-based system running both an efficient Athlon II X2 240e and the fast Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition.
Intel is working towards greater integration. The H55/H57/Q57 platforms with Core i3/i5 Clarkfield CPUs now move the graphics unit and the memory controller out of the chipset and into the processor. The memory controller was already relocated on the Core i7 (Bloomfield) in the high-end market and Core i5/i7 (Lynnfield) in the upper-mainstream. The low-end Atom platform also follows with next-generation Pine Trail, which also transitions the platform from three to only two chips. Today, though, Intel is focused on the lucrative mainstream desktop and mobile segments. For purposes here, we'll concentrate on the desktop side.
Our technology launch article by Chris Angelini already covered all aspects of the new processors, such as the integrated HD Graphics unit, Turbo Boost in the context of integrated graphics, the additional instructions to accelerate AES encryption and decryption, and specifications and clock speeds. Now it's time to have a closer look at system power consumption and efficiency in terms of performance per watt. Intel now has its 32nm silver bullet, which should make the dual-cores much more efficient at base clock rates. Most people expected Intel's new dual-cores to dominate in efficiency, but we wanted to have a close look at the power characteristics.

0N19h7M4r3 , 5 January 2010 17:08at the moment there is only one thing amd can do... cut prices a lot lol, but i think they already where expecting this... i think the next generation of CPU's is still gona be "dominated" by intel's offerings. but the one after that amd should start giving intel a run for its money, dont forget amd has been filling a financial hole for some time, but due to recent events, and because of very strong releases in the graphics department they have been that very steadly... give amd a little time...
1Herr_Koos , 5 January 2010 19:56One can only hope that Bulldozer turns out to be a MAJOR win for AMD...
0mikehunt80 , 5 January 2010 20:50I thought this article really missed the point comparing Intel's new $200 CPU against AMD's $95 part (regardless of core count). I read the bit about the Athlon 240e having the lowest power consumption vs the 3/4 core variants, which is only partially true according to the data in Anandtech's review of the Athlon 435.
At idle the 605e only looses 2.4 watts to the 240e, but at load the 605e runs a full 10.5 watts leaner than the 240e. The lower clock speed will likely be the reason, which would also result in lower single threaded performance, but at the same time the doubling of cores would improve well threaded apps such as video encoding.
When considering that the 605e comes in about $20 cheaper than the i5-661 (not including the board and more expensive DDR3), I think it borders on dishonest to not include the 605e in the comparison.
If you add the 605e into the picture then things are much less clear cut. Still a big win for Intel, but possibly not in all situations.
To maintain the journalistic integrity that have kept me reading Tom's for the last 13 years, you should always be looking to compare equally priced solutions. Whereas in my opinion, this article seemed to be tipped in Intel's favor.
0mikehunt80 , 5 January 2010 20:57I'd also question the use of a 785G when touting Intel's low power numbers, because in your own review you observed the Nvidia 8200 runs 10 watts leaner. With the 8200 equaling and beating the G45 in your 785G review in game performance I can't see why you didn't include it, other than to tip the scales in Intel's favor for MCE use.
0seeratlas , 5 January 2010 21:00Assuming that Intel abides by its latest agreements and terminates its predatory and monopolistic efforts aimed at destroying AMD's access to markets, AMD should have a chance at making a comeback. Their choice to go with a combined cpu/graphics package that pretty much dominates intel's onboard graphics offerings at substantially lower price points, appears to have been a good one. Until Intel comes up with a decent igp, opportunities for AMD will remain open-assuming the relevant watchdog governmental authorities keep a tight leash on Intel's unlawful predatory behaviors. One could argue that Intel's history in this regard reflects a deep seated fear of AMD's potential.
2julianbautista87 , 6 January 2010 06:43Not fair. You can't compare Amd's processors with doble-priced intel's ones.
1hugodaniel , 6 January 2010 07:03Also, don't forget you are comparing apps that were compiled to be of generic use. In the open source world things are not that way since you can compile a given app to be optimized specifically for your cpu model. I get to handle quite some computers in my work, and realized that, if optimized, i usually find amd processors to be faster than intel ones.
I also agree that it is NOT FAIR to compare double priced intel processors with amd just because they are of different brands. Its like comparing the best car fiat has to offer, with the best car porsche has to offer... yeah... right...

The 2014 season, it appears, will be about taking small steps for the Los Alamos Hilltopper football team.
After getting pummeled in its first three contests, Los Alamos will have to concentrate now on what it's good and hope it can tighten up what's not so good prior to the start of the District 2-5A season in three weeks.
The good news for Los Alamos was that it took a step in the right direction Friday in its annual homecoming game. Los Alamos had some positives in the contest — a takeaway that led to a touchdown, stopping a couple of potential scoring drives and two solid drives in the second half — despite coming out on the short end of a 24-6 decision against the Kirtland Central Broncos.
Kirtland Central, a traditional opponent of the Hilltoppers, was fired up for Friday's game, particularly on the defensive end, forcing an early turnover deep in Los Alamos territory.
But the Hilltoppers returned the favor one play later when cornerback Isaac Dunwoody intercepted a pass at the 1-yard line to prevent a score and giving the Broncos a chance to turn the game into a rout early.

Russia looks beyond West Siberia for future oil and natural gas growth ›
Russia was the world's largest producer of crude oil (including lease condensate) and the world's second-largest producer of dry natural gas in 2013. Most of Russia's crude oil and natural gas production occurs in West Siberia, a part of central Russia that stretches from the northern border of Kazakhstan to the Arctic Ocean. However, new technologies, growing Asian markets, and Western sanctions have the potential to shift the regional balance of Russian oil and natural gas production in the long term. More›

FIRST PERSON: Dan Reeves
In a weekly feature leading up to the playoffs, former Falcons coach Dan Reeves speaks with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's staff writer D. Orlando Ledbetter about the team's march to Super Bowl XXXIII during the 1998 season. After 15 games, like the 2012 Falcons, Reeves' team was 13-2, and set to close out the regular season at home. They would face Dan Marino and the Miami Dolphins at the Georgia Dome
"We were trying to make sure that we were going to have home-field advantage for that first game. We had already clinched, but it was still an important game. We
wanted to go into it, play well and win the football game. I was of course still out (after heart bypass surgery). They did good, and I think Steve DeBerg played some in that game (a 38-16 victory.)
"We played it like a regular game. Jack Burns, our offensive quarterback coach, called the plays and did a good job. The defense was under Rich Brooks. They just did a good job and we were a good football team.
"We were better than Miami. It was a game that we should win. Sometimes that's the toughest one to win. We felt good about the game and we were playing at home.
"There was no thought of resting any starters, because we were still fighting to try to keep our spot in the playoffs. You want to be playing well, but you certainly have concerns. But I've always said that if you play hard you've got a better chance to stay healthy. It's when you start worrying about injuries and you don't play hard. If you play hard, there's a good chance you're not going to get hurt.
"You want to have the right attitude going into the playoffs. If you get to a point in the game where you have an edge and you want to rest those guys, maybe you do give some people that need some playing experience some time. We played like it was a regular game and went in there and tried to win the game to keep that momentum going.
"You've got to go in there with the same attitude. That's when you get hurt, when you start trying to save yourself for another game. You have to play it full speed and play like you play all the time, and you've got a better chance of staying healthy.
"During the bye week you have to prepare for both teams. We had played San Francisco, so we knew them. We spent more time getting ready for Dallas (the No .3 seed which was upset by Arizona) because we didn't know that much about them. (San Francisco defeated Green Bay in a wildcard- round game.)
"San Francisco had been a team that had our number. I think we had finally won the last time we had play them that year. Garrison Hearst was having a great year for them. We knew they'd be a tough opponent.
"I wanted to give them some rest, stay on our same schedule as if we were getting ready for a game."

That year broke my heart as a Falcon fan,First of all I hate Denver,second Shanahan and Elway bullied Dan reeves out of town and this was the perfect opportunity to get some pay back. Maybe a little less partying and more focus
thing would have been different!!

That was an unexpected fun season for my Falcons. I didn't think we were all that good but because of Reeves, he kept the guys focused and they excelled to the Superbowl. We overachieved that season. This year if we don't make the Superbowl, we will underachieve because this team has a lot more talent on it…

I really hope Mike Smith doesn't rest the starters. Play the game to win. Like it's the last one.
December 29th, 2012

Shanahan and Elway are punks.
We beat both of their teams this year,
it will be good to see the Redskins and Broncos lose their first playoff game.

Some good advice, from the 2nd best coach we've ever had (behind Smitty, of course).
Just WIN, baby….keep that momentum going!!!
December 29th, 2012
2:56 pm
1998 was a magical year. I recall with great fondness our playoff game with the 49ers and the worry I had because, as Coach Reeves said, they had our number. In fact, the 49ers became something of an twice-annual torture game because they usually beat us senseless. Except for 1980 and 1998, our stint in the NFC West was mostly forgettable.
December 29th, 2012
3:11 pm
It sickens me to know Chrystal Chandelier still has the distinction of being the only QB to take this Franchise to a SB.
C'mon Matty Ice!!

Priceless- (Choke) It's a shame you have no football knowledge and realize the great players this Falcons team has, ones that are ready to get this regime its playoff wins that are going to be forthcoming, but you just can't see it. It's such a shame for you. It must get old harping on the past for you. Very tiring. Do I hear a second and a third?

KC Failcon- Who has no football knowledge ? Better yet , who has no post season wins ? Smitty , Matty melt and the outspoken Gonzales. Give me Reeves anyday-he has a resume' and it's called wins and thats what counts unless you're an upwards nerd –hmmmmm !
December 29th, 2012

bgbobbles- You don;t know anything . If you knew that you didn't know anything , that would be someting but you don't even know that- Priceless !!!

Priceless(Choke)- I know you'll always have your contrarian view. I loved the Reeves team of 98. But even he was too conservative. They won in spite of that. Chandler was gritty and JA was a bitch. The defense was good and opportunistic. They just didn't have enough in a given game against Denver. Had some early opportunities they didn't capitalize on. Then they couldn't sustain when JA blew his knee.
My football knowledge is just fine. You choose to get on here and your only is to pull the rug from a bunch of good and hopeful fans.It's reaaaaallllly tired. Why don't you just cleanse yourself and enjoy a really good team? The past 3 playoff games have absolutely zero bearing on what happens this year. None. It's only a matter of time and I know you're really afraid of that.
There was a time where Peyton didn't have a playoff win or a Super Bowl. Same with Eli. Tony Romo, what has he done? John Harbaugh and Joe Flacco have no Super Bowl. The wins are coming for Smith/Ryan and Co. You waste way too much time with a burr under your ass.
You're the Failure for looking like a stupid child on here- every story, every column. Same drivel. Same Matt Ryan crap. Multiple screen names. Just weak. Sad. It's idotic. You look like a fool here almost every day. Obviously it doesn't bother you. Again, if you can't realize the talent of this team, it's your loss.
December 30th, 2012
7:25 am
Dont we seem to live by the "What Ifs" in life. Look ahead, its a new day. Cant be any worst than looking at 4 more years of Obama.
All i know is that the last 2 playoff games we lost, those teams went on to win the Super Bowl. They were both the hottest teams heading into the playoffs and usually thats the team that wins it all.
Right now theyre saying Seattle and San Francisco are the hottest teams but hey i dont know. I think Atlanta is the hottest team right now.
You can use records, stats, a leap year, global warming, and all that but today and 2 weeks from today we will see how true or false things are and make a case for it the day after here on the AJC.
But please enjoy yourself and relax because God loves you and everyday that you wake up is a blessing in its ownself.
Go Atlanta Falcons!

Beaula, our English Bulldog mix desperately needs a home. She has been with us for quite some time now and SHE IS NOT DOING WELL IN SHELTER CONDITIONS . . . She wants to just run and run and even though she has exercise for 20 minutes several times daily she seems very agitated with being in her kennel.
Her relationship with other dogs is unclear because she seems aggravated by some dogs at the shelter but ignores others. This may be due to the stress of being at the shelter but, from her personality, we think she would do better as the only pet: she craves attention, thinks she's a lap dog, and seems jealous if other dogs get attention. She loves water.
BUT IT IS WHEN SHE INTERACTS WITH PEOPLE THAT WE GET TO SEE WHAT WE THINK IS THE REAL BEAULA—GOOFY, CLOWNISH, AND OFTEN HILARIOUS! So, if you need a little more laughter in your life--and let's face it, who doesn't?--why not let Beaula be the source!
We do not know a lot about Beaula prior to her time with us because she was found wandering in a Northside neighborhood and we never could find her owner. Beulah is spayed, up to date on her shots and micro chipped.
To qualify to adopt Beaula you must live in the Jacksonville area, have a fenced yard and be able to provide PRN with a vet reference. No exceptions. If you can give Beaula the home she deserves please contact Pet Rescue North!
An ADOPTION FEE of $110.00 will be charged to cover medical expenses while the animals are under Pet Rescue North's care. This fee will cover the following medical treatment: spaying or neutering (ALL ANIMALS MUST BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED — THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS!!!); heartworm check; one DHLPP-CV shot; initial treatment of heartworm preventative program; initial treatment of flea and tick preventative program; fecal exam to check for hookworms, roundworms or whipworms (if positive, the animal will be wormed). All medical care provided shall be performed ONLY by the veterinarians servicing the shelter.
Appointments for meeting our animals and for adoptions must be made by calling Peggy at 904-477-1000. ** NO CALLS WILL BE TAKEN OR RETURNED AFTER 8:00 P.M.**
A few of the general guidelines that make up the Pet Rescue North (PRN) Adoption Policy are provided below. While, as they say, there is an exception to every rule, these guidelines are standard for no-kill shelters and are used for deciding suitability of a potential adopter:

Discover the incredible fictions of Joan Fontcuberta in his first major UK exhibition, featuring six documentary narratives that mix fact with fiction and science with art.
Using the visual languages of journalism, advertising, museum displays and scientific journals, these convincing yet subversive and deadpan works are an investigation into photography's authority and our inclination to believe what we see.
"Photography is a tool to negotiate our idea of reality. Thus it is the responsibility of photographers to not contribute with anaesthetic images but rather to provide images that shake consciousness."
– Joan Fontcuberta
Exhibition highlights include astonishing photographs of mermaid fossils, incredible reports of mysterious fauna and eye-opening photographs of rare plant species.
You can find out more about the exhibition's narratives – Fauna, Herbarium, Orogenesis, Constellations, Sirens and Karelia – in the image gallery below.
'He makes you doubt everything, leaving you in an unclaimed grey zone that is both strange and sublime.'

'A fantastic exhibition.' ★ ★ ★ ★ (The Daily Telegraph)
'The exhibition is visually arresting, subversively humorous, and infernally clever. It is also deeply unsettling.' (CNN International)

★ ★ ★ ★ (Evening Standard)
'It's a brilliant show, in which entertainment and philosophy complement each other to perfection, with neither given weight beyond the other.' (Financial Times)

The Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) are some of our favorite EcoGeeks. They have long advocated getting away from the import of foreign oil for America's energy needs.
To help illustrate the point, they now have an interactive global map that shows oil imports to the United States on a month-by month basis since 1973. With this map, you can see where oil is coming from, as well as relative volumes.
RMI has proposed a four prong plan for ending oil imports and lowest viagra price increasing energy self-sufficiency in the sfachc.org U.S. They advocate "saving half the oil America uses, and substituting cheaper alternatives for the other half" through doubling the efficiency of the oil that is currently used, adopting superlight vehicles to improve transportation efficiency, developing domestic biofuels to offset another quarter of levitra in spain current consumption and increasing efficiency of natural gas use. According to RMI, by 2050 it would be possible for the United States to be "completely off oil."
Since we've just spent the last week paying a lot of attention to wow it's great levitra shop all the new vehicles being proposed at this year's North American International Auto Show, now is a good time to be thinking about the buy viagra no prescription energy sources those vehicles will need to work from in the coming years.
As we have often pointed out, transforming energy consumption patterns is viagra online without prescription not going to be an overnight project. Long term strategies need to be developed to migrate the country into patterns that will be supportable in the future.

A witness told Jalopnik the extended-range luxury hybrids were "first submerged in a storm surge and then caught fire, exploded."
It's unclear exactly what happened, but looking at the photos posted on Jalopnik, the cars were severely damaged.
Fisker released a statement saying:
It was reported today that several Fisker Karmas were damaged by fire at the Port of Newark after being submerged in sea water during Superstorm Sandy. We can report that there were no injuries and none of the cars were being charged at the time.
We have confidence in the Fisker Karma and safety is our primary concern. While we intend to find the cause as quickly as possible, storm damage has restricted access to the port.
We will issue a further statement once the root cause has been determined.

April 14th, 2008BodyBoard Surfing in Anglet France
Just a quick bodyboard surfing video I made a while back when I lived near Biarritz in the French Basques Country.
Featuring myself bodyboarding in Anglet at the Chambre d'Amour beach. The swell was a bit messy and choppy and the waves were gnarly and powerful!
I figure most of you will not be impressed by the size of the wave but trust me, it's a LOT different when you are actually in the water getting pounded wave after wave. When the lip of the wave crashes on your head and pushes you deep under the water! It's freightning!
Video footage taken on January 10, 2006.

For the best auto glass service available, come into our Corinth location and meet David and Jason; you'll be happy you did! Were open 8:30am til 5:00pm Monday Thru Friday.
Replacement Auto Glass & Windshields
If you have broken auto glass in or around Corinth, call Mike's Windshield Service.

Mike's employs the best auto glass techs in the business who are experts at windshield repair and auto glass replacements. For great service from experienced installers, contact us today!
How Long Do Auto Glass Replacements Take?
The time it takes to replace a piece of auto glass can vary depending on a number of factors. The typical replacement, however, usually takes about an hour. After the glass is installed, it's important that the urethane (or glue used to bond the glass to the vehicle) is allowed to properly cure. This ensures that the windshield or other auto glass is secured properly to the frame of the vehicle increasing the vehicle's stability and structural integrity.
Do You Guarantee Auto Glass Replacements?
At Mike's Windshield, all of our work is guaranteed! We take pride with all our auto glass replacements and insist on getting things done right the first time. We continually strive for excellence and make sure your satisfaction is our number one priority.

Windshield Repair Service
Windshield repairs are often a great option for damaged windshields. When the damage is small enough and caught early enough, a windshield repair can be performed and save you from having to replace the entire piece of glass. It's important to contact Mike's as soon as you notice damage to give you the best chances that a repair can be performed. If the damage is left and exposed to weather, debris, and temperature changes, the chances that the windshield can be repaired begin to diminish.
How Long Do Windshield Repairs Take?
Windshield Repairs can typically be completed in about 15 minutes, but it's important that the materials used in the repair are able to cure properly. On average, the entire curing process takes about 15 minutes meaning the entire repair process takes about 30 minutes. For more information on windshield repairs, feel free to come by or call us.
What Is The Windshield Repair Process?
Windshield repairs are the process of masking damage to a vehicles windshield by injecting a special resin into the damaged area. The resin then bonds to the glass, restoring the look and strength of the windshield and causing the visible damage to almost disappear.
However, not all damaged windshields can be repaired. If the damaged area is large, or if the windshield has already had 2 or more repairs, the windshield must be replaced. The picture on the bottom left shows typical windshield damage from rock-chips, small windshield cracks, and other common damage that is often repairable. For more information on windshield repairs, or to find out if your windshield can be repaired stop by or call and talk to David or Jason Today.

If you haven't thought about leaving your business, you should do so, because it affects today's decision making. Your plan for leaving your business is known as an Exit Plan, and yes, even Solopreneurs have them.

Police are still investigating an overnight stabbing in an alley near Mettler and Chestnut in north Toledo, but one man has been arrested.
Police say they received a call reporting the stabbing around 4 a.m. Monday. According to police, the victim thought she was getting a ride from Dontae Upchurch, but he took a detour down an alley and sexually assaulted her. When she tried to fight off the attack, police say he stabbed her in the eye with a knife.
"She definitely did some things right, as far as being able to fend off the attack before it got too serious. She did have a cell phone on her. She was able to make contact with the police quickly, and she was good at giving us a description," said Sgt. Joe Heffernan with the Toledo Police Department.
Shortly after the incident, police took Upchurch into custody. He has been charged with felonious assault.

The battle of Verdun began on 21 February 1916. It did not end until December of that year. It was a place of no advance and no retreat, where national resources continued to pour in, extending the slaughter indefinitely. Paul Jankowski, leading French historian and author of Verdun: The Longest Battle of the Great War, examines Verdun in a new, unique way, using both French and German sources with equal weight. Jankowski questions why Verdun holds such a high status in World War I when it sparked no political changes, had an indecisive outcome, and was not the bloodiest of the war. He explains not only the total history of the battle, including leaders, plans, technology, and combat, but also analyzes and stresses the soldiers' experiences and the impact of war on national memory.
Why did the battle of Verdun begin?
"Verdun:a hell that was all its own." – Paul Jankowski
"Nobody could win…but nobody could afford to lose…" – Paul Jankowski
Results of Verdun
Paul Jankowski is Raymond Ginger Professor of History at Brandeis University. His many books include Verdun: The Longest Battle of the Great War, Stavinksy: A Confidence Man in the Republic of Virtue and Shades of Indignation: Political Scandals in France, Past and Present.
