Cleveland Ohio Area DUI Lawyers & Criminal Attorneys
Helping Residents of Cuyahoga County, Lorain County, Medina County, Summit County, Portage County, Geauga County & Lake County, Ohio
Can An Attorney Really Make A Difference After A DUI (called "OVI" in Ohio) or Criminal Arrest?
When you're looking at significant jail time after a criminal arrest or a license suspension for DUI, you'd better believe a talented attorney can make a difference.
As a criminal defense lawyer in the Cleveland, Ohio area, I've been part of 1,000's of success stories here in Ohio.
If you or a family member has been arrested for OVI or other criminal offense, here's what I'd like you to remember;
It's very important to know that an arrest and conviction can impact all areas of your life.
- You may not be able to keep your job or get a job in the future.
- You may have to spend time in jail or even prison.
- And if you're convicted of DUI/OVI, your car insurance will skyrocket.
We believe everyone should be able to meet or talk with a lawyer the first time for FREE.
Call 440-471-7811 for a FREE consultation on your DUI or Criminal arrest in the Cleveland, Ohio area.
DUI/OVI Arrests
In the State of Ohio, DUI (OVI) is considered a criminal offense. If convicted, you will be looking at strict sentencing guidelines that the Judge will use.
What exactly happens to you will be determined by your specific offense. Penalties for a second DUI or third drunk driving offenses are even worse.
As you read this, you may be afraid that there is no hope for you after an arrest for DUI. But our laws say that you are innocent until proven guilty.
My primary job is to hold prosecutors to the requirement of proof. They have their version of the truth and you have the right to counter it.
To make sure that is done correctly, it's very important to hire a professional DUI Lawyer in Cleveland if you or a member of your family is arrested in the Cleveland, Ohio area.
Highly Experienced & Successful OVI Lawyers in Ohio
As experienced DUI Lawyers in Ohio, our law firm brings many benefits to you because he or she:
- Knows exactly how your arrest will proceed through the court;
- Will work tirelessly to get your driver's license back after a DUI;
- Will work to get a reduction on the DUI charges or even get the charges thrown out.
When hiring a criminal lawyer to defend you against a drunk driving charge, get one who has many years of experience defending DUI charges.
Also look for a lawyer that used to be a prosecuting attorney. A drunken driving defense attorney who has experience on the other side of the table is the lawyer you should get.
My name is Joe Patituce and I'd like to be the OVI Lawyer in the Cleveland, Ohio area you make that first call to.
Criminal Arrests
My firm has been defending those charged with Criminal & DUI offenses for years. And I was a prosecuting attorney prior to that.
Put both of those experiences to work and you have perhaps the best Criminal & DUI defense in the Cleveland, Ohio area.
As your DUI Lawyer or Criminal Defense counsel, I know I can make a difference in the outcome of your case.
I have extensive experience in ALL criminal defense areas, including:
- Arrested for Assault
- Arrest on Sex Charges
- Charged with Internet Sex Crimes
- Arrested for Rape
- Homicide/Murder/Manslaughter Charges
- Drug & Narcotics Crimes
- Domestic Violence & Battery Arrests
- Gaming Crimes
- Arrest On Theft Charges
- Crimes Against Family Members
- DUI Conviction Appeal
- Boating Under The Influence
- Other Crimes
- Federal Criminal Defense
Please call me at (440) 471-7811 for a free consultation if you need a professional DUI lawyer or Criminal Defense Legal Professional in the Cleveland, Ohio area.
I'm available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
When you want an experienced and caring attorney on your side in a legal situation, call 440-471-7811 for a free consultation.
What We Do As Criminal Lawyers In Ohio
We are known for our forceful and thorough approach to defending our clients. There can be evidence out there that police and prosecutors ignore, because their job is to make a case against you.
Our job as lawyers is to dig for evidence that challenges their facts. Our legal team will double check every witness and piece of evidence that will be presented against you.
Our investigators uncover their own information that we'll use to help.
You can expect to be treated with respect and dignity, no matter which crime you are accused of.
From day one we begin preparing for a court case. We do not believe in automatically recommending that a client accept a plea bargain.
In the case of a plea offer that is in your best interest, you will always understand your options and the outcomes that are possible.
For more information see our criminal defense FAQs and the Ohio DUI Penal code (Ohio Revised Code 4511.19 – Operating vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs – OVI).

Medieval Children
'Nicholas Orme knows more about medieval childhood than anyone living, and this substantial, hugely enjoyable book is the capstone on thirty years of scholarship.' The Independent 'charming and erudite' The Times 'a triumph of judicious scholarship and common sense ... Orme's is one of the most beautifully and intelligently illustrated academic works I've encountered ... a model of accessible scholarly history.' Atlantic Monthly 'This is one of those pleasingly, absorbingly digressive books ... a book whose subject is of inexhaustible interest.' Financial Times 'Orme's fascinating study reveals medieval society through a keen look at its youngest inhabitants. Meticulous detail and luscious illustrations ... make this an elegant and definitive study.' Publishers Weekly 'informative and entertaining ... this book is a treasure trove, full of gems, even for the non-medievalist.' Literary Review 'What the book identifies again and again in medieval England is an attentiveness to children ... Orme is a clear and persuasive guide to the period.' The Guardian 'a treasure-house of everything to do with medieval children' The Economist Nicholas Orme was professor of history at Exeter University and the author of numerous works on medieval history.

I hesitate to even write this post, but I feel more comfortable posting here than on my "birth" group. It also isn't so much of a question I pose, as simply an effort to reach out. I am a mere 5 weeks away from Baby #2's due date and I've just been really anxious lately. In fact, it's kind of been going on for most of the pregnancy. Don't get me wrong, my daughter and husband make me very happy in general, but there is this cloud of anxiety hanging over me. I keep worrying about things like my husband dying or our house falling apart (it's an old house), or not ever really making it in my career, or just simply of my kids growing up to fast, people I love getting sick, etc. Things that are pretty much out of my control.
I don't know how to shake this but I really hope it will ease up once Baby Brother is born. I'm a tad concerned that it will linger after he arrives. Anyway, for some reason I felt compelled to share. If you have any thoughts (hopefully not judgemental in nature), I'd love to hear...If you've gone through something similar and have any suggestions, I'd certainly value them. Thank you.

on November 27, 2011 - 12:01 AM
Art is said to imitate life, or perhaps it is the other way round. In either case, the 50th anniversary of the movie version of "West Side Story" provided a convenient excuse to see it again, and this time it invoked thoughts of how unusual and interesting humans really are.
For those who have not seen it, "West Side Story" is the "Romeo and Juliet" romantic tragedy set in 1950s New York City, where two rival gangs fight over neighborhood turf. The Sharks are a gang of recent Puerto Rican immigrants who are beginning to encroach on the neighborhood controlled by the Jets, white kids born of European immigrants. Although violence provides the tension in the story, the qualities that define humanity occur between those scenes.
Scientists are very interested in understanding what it means to be human. One way to address this question is by studying the common chimpanzee, humanity's closest living relative, and determining how we differ from it.
Male chimpanzees belonging to the same social group occasionally travel into neighboring territory, looking for chimps that occupy that area. This is no boys' night out of light mischief. These patrols travel far, eat and socialize very little, and remain quiet. When the invading band finds a male, it is attacked and killed or mortally wounded. The term for this behavior is lethal intergroup aggression, and it interests anthropologists because it resembles human warfare.
To determine why chimps do this, researchers studied lethal intergroup aggression in a community at Ngogo in Kibale National Park, Uganda, over a 10-year period. They found that occasional lethal attacks by the Ngogo chimps over that period correlated with the annexation of land previously occupied by the victims' group. The invaders no longer patrol that territory, they occupy it. Like the Jets and the Sharks, it's all about turf. The territorial expansion gives the group more access to food, the females reproduce more often and the community grows in size.
Human warfare is also the acquisition of resources by lethal intergroup aggression. Access to resources in the new territory may be accomplished by displacement of the indigenous population or by co-existence with the vanquished group. The studies of chimps suggest that this lethal aggression is a successful evolutionary adaptation, and that the disposition to warfare is at least partly hard-wired in our genes. The Sharks and Jets may simply be acting out this genetic impulse. The chimp studies may help explain the evolution of human warfare, but they also make clear that war is not a defining human trait.
There may be some parallels between the patrolling Ngogo chimps and street gangs, but in fact they differ in a very important way. Chimps form relatively simple societal groups based primarily on kinship. Cooperation between unrelated individuals or groups is uncommon. By contrast, the Jets are a collection of unrelated young men of Irish, Polish and Italian descent. When they get together they socialize, make plans and care for each other, not to mention sing and dance. The Sharks probably would not have known each other in Puerto Rico, but here they work as an interdependent and cohesive unit. There is no counterpart to the Jets or Sharks in chimp society.
The Ngogo chimps do not enter neighboring territories in order to exchange goods and services or establish conduits of communication with the inhabitants. But humans do exactly that. What is uniquely human is the extensive interaction and cooperation of unrelated members to form complex social networks and societies despite the predisposition toward aggression.
Whether foraging for food or shopping at the supermarket, bartering or trading on Wall Street, humans interact most often with unrelated members of their species. This behavior is so universal that it is difficult to step back from it to observe how odd it really is. Cooperation among strangers, not war, is a defining behavior of humanity.
Scientists interested in understanding the evolution of human society recently identified common traits among 32 present-day hunter-gatherer groups. These populations are useful because they represent the predominant human social structure for 95 percent of our history. This study and others conclude that long-term and monogamous conjugal relationships are nearly universal in humans, and occur to an extent unprecedented in other primates. These unions create stable bonds between unrelated groups.
Had Tony and Maria, the lovers in "West Side Story," been successful, their union would have forged a bond between rival groups, contributing to mutual tolerance.
So, why does conjugal pairing in chimps fail to promote bonding of unrelated groups? In that species, one member of the conjugal pair, usually the female, leaves the natal group and loses contact with it permanently. Thus, intergroup ties are not established. Humans are unique in that both partners usually retain contact with parents, siblings and other members of the group. They join a new group while also remaining part of the old one.
This means that males recognize in-laws and others from outside of their group, resulting in tolerance of people that they would otherwise be hostile toward.
In early humans, this tolerance created opportunities to forge additional links between groups based on mutual interests rather than kinship. Cooperation is usually a better idea then aggression.
Although "West Side Story" ends tragically, the Jets and Sharks realize that their war is unsustainable, and work toward cooperation. They can do this because they are human.

Cohasset is a nine square mile coastal town just twenty-five miles from Boston and is home to about 7,000 residents who reside in a setting of historical colonial homes and spectacular ocean vistas. Many of the residents make the daily commute to work by car, commuter boat from the adjoining town of Hingham, or the commuter train line located right in town. Route 3A bisects the town which provides prime locations for a multitude of large and small businesses alike. Currently there are four shopping plazas operating within the town which provide all the basic needs that any resident or visitor would look for.
Cohasset's central village lies around a picturesque and spacious common with a small pond on the southern end named Meeting House Pond. The Common is surrounded by historical buildings, homes, and churches. The village also includes specialty shops, quality restaurants, the colonial First Parish Meeting House, and St. Stephens Church with its 51 bell carillon that has offered Sunday concerts since 1924. Cohasset has active Community and Arts Centers, three historical museums, the South Shore Music Circus, and a Swim Club for all ages. There are three swimming beaches, and recreational parks and trails that run through Wompatuck State Park, Whitney Woods Reservation, Wheelwright Park, and Turkey Hill Park.
Along the shore line of Cohasset Harbor are facilities for dining, sailing, boating, and a replica of the famous Minot's light. The Cohasset Public School System is highly rated and many of the residents involve themselves in the many community activities which provide a stable foundation for the future growth of Cohasset.

Curt Schilling said on ESPN Radio on Wednesday that in 2008, his final season under contract with the Red Sox, �former members of the organization� encouraged him to use a performance-enhancing drug as part of his recovery from a shoulder injury that ultimately ended his career.
�It was an incredibly uncomfortable conversation,� Schilling said, �because it came up in the midst of a group of people. The other people weren�t in the conversation but they could clearly hear the conversation. And it was suggested to me that, at my age and in my situation, why not? What did I have to lose? Because if I wasn�t going to get healthy, it didn�t matter. And if I did get healthy, great.
�It caught me off-guard, to say the least. That was an awkward situation.�
Schilling declined to elaborate. He posted on Twitter that �outing the person would not do anything for anyone. It wasn�t anyone in uniform, nor the baseball ops group.�
Major League Baseball released a statement yesterday on the matter: "The club immediately notified us (in 2008). We take these matters very seriously, and an investigation was completed."
Asked about the Schilling bombshell at a Jimmy Fund event on Thursday morning, Red Sox president Larry Lucchino said, �I was surprised when I heard that. I�ll reserve judgment until I hear a little more. It�s something to look into. But it came from out of left field, to use a baseball cliche.�
The revelation comes as MLB is dealing with a new controversy in which Miami anti-aging clinic Biogenesis has been linked to distribution of banned performance-enhancers. Among the names that have been connected to Biogenesis in recent days are Alex Rodriguez, Gio Gonzalez and Ryan Braun.
�I know that there�s no one more committed to the eradication of all of this than the commissioner,� Lucchino said. �He really has led the charge over the last 10 years. If there�s a need for something, he�ll be in the forefront.�

The new pope, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, is not above the passion his countrymen share for football and is an avid a fan of San Lorenzo, one of Argentina's top clubs.
Bergoglio, who took the name Pope Francis when he was elected to the post on Wednesday, received his San Lorenzo membership card after saying mass at a sports complex near the team's stadium.
"He says he lives in a permanent state of suffering for San Lorenzo," said Oscar Lucchini, an architect and fellow fan who handed Bergoglio's membership card to him after that mass about four years ago.
The club posted a picture on its website on Wednesday that showed a smiling Bergoglio lifting up the club's colours.
As archbishop of Buenos Aires, Bergoglio was known for his unassuming lifestyle. He lives near San Lorenzo's headquarters and has long travelled the capital city by public bus.
He also shares the pain of his fellow San Lorenzo fans after their defeats, as well as their joy when the team wins. The club last won Argentina's national championship in 2007.
San Lorenzo also count actor Viggo Mortensen among their biggest supporters. Yes, the High King of the Reunited Kingdom.
Pope Francis being a San Lorenzo fan is perhaps fitting. The club was named after local priest Father Lorenzo Massa, who let children play football in his church's yard so they wouldn't have to do it amongst the dangerous trams in the street. San Lorenzo are currently in 12th place in the Argentine Primera Division, but now that they have the papacy on their side, they will probably expect to start rising up the table any minute now.

REVIEW: 6671 Utility Repair Lift
Posted 30 December 2009 - 02:17 PM
Thanks to the spare parts I ordered online and some "borrowed" parts from other sets, I managed to rebuild this set from 1989 ;D This shall be my 5th Academy review
Went into service in 1989, the Utility Repair Lift was an ingenious solution to a common problem in Lego Town; how do one repair the faulty street lights which are slowly becoming more and more common along the streets? Utilizing a clever scissor mechanism, the lift can raise the platform high enough for a repairman to access the street lamp assembly without the need to bring down the whole street pole or "borrow" a lift from the fire department.
Due to its simplicity and ease of use, almost anyone can operate the utility lift. Being mounted on a trailer with a standard tow hook also means that it can be used to various other purposes and towed by any vehicle with a common tow hook.
Now after 20 years serving the then Lego Town and the current Lego City, it continues to serve for many more years to come.
Set name: Utility Repair Lift
Year Released: 1989
Theme: Classic Town
Number of Pieces: 92 (according to Peeron)
Price: USD 20 for a used set, up to USD 200 for a MISB set
My Photobucket
The box is a typical Legoland box with yellow. There seem to be power lines in the background, showing a possible "electric power" line of Town sets. Box picture taken from Peeron.
A random page from the instructions showing how the scissor lift mechanism is constructed and alternate builds. Scan taken from PICSL.
You start off with the red and yellow truck. The construction is typical of any 4-stud vehicle of the era.
Construction then proceed to the trailer with the scissor lift.
The final step is to add in the minifigure and link the trailer and truck together.
The Minifigure is has blue overalls and a blue cap; a typical Lego Town worker during this era. The worn out print of the torso shows how often this set used to be played by me.
The little truck is a 4-stud wide vehicle with a 1x2x2 panel that has an electrical utility logo on either side of the truck. The logo is printed onto the panel and only appears in this set. Meanwhile it has a small open truck bed in the rear for the spanner and mallet. Other features include a pair of yellow lights on top of the cab and an antenna at the rear.
Moving onto the star of the set, the utility lift trailer consists of the scissor mechanism, warnings signs mounted on yellow hinge pieces (in this case I have to use a grey hinge piece because I am missing 1 yellow hinge piece) and safety bars on either side. The trailer has 2 sets of wheels to allow it to remain stable should the trailer be detached from the truck.
Upon receiving a complaint about a broken street light, our repairman heads to the faulty street light. Street lights are usually 10 bricks tall, which is ideal for our utility lift.
Our repairman looks out from his cab to make ensure that the lift is just at the right spot next to the street light
He then deploys the warning sign and arrow sign to inform other road users that some maintenance work is going on. By turning the signs into position, the signs also double up as stabilizers. This ensures that the lift will not tip over when it is fully extended.
A spanner from the truck's open bed shall be used to fix the light this time. More tools can be stored in the open bed of this truck.
Time to get onto the platform! Using the handle bars on either side, the repairman safely climbs onto the platform.
Once on the platform, he raises the platform to the desired height. Careful not to bump your head on the street lamp! :o
A motorist then passes by our dear friend during the repair. Again, the warning signs and yellow lights ensure that other motorist are informed of his presence and know how to pass him.
As it begins to get dark, the repairman folds back the warning signs and get ready to head home. Another street lamp repaired today!
A call came from the operator of the Lego Town airport that one of their radar stations were malfunctioning and in need of repair. Our repairman was there the next morning to have a look. Reaching the site, he positioned his trailer as close as possible to the radar dish and removed the safety barriers on his trailer. The safety barriers are to prevent any curious onlookers from getting to close to the scissor lift. The safety barriers also have lights mounted to make it easier to notice.
Our repairman slowly raises and rotate the platform to get as close as possible to the radar dish. The scissor lift can only rotate once the safety barriers are removed from the trailer.
Now he can repair the faulty radar dish as the airport operator oversee the repairs.
Of course, the benefit of a scissor lift is that you can position the platform off center to further reach wherever you fancy. The signs at the back of the trailer keeps the trailer stable although the center of the platform is not between the 2 pairs of wheels.
The versatility of the utility lift trailer allows ordinary folks of Lego Town to rent the trailer when they require it. For example the owner of this red sports car wants to fix his garage roof.
Since his sports car has a tow hook, he can tow the trailer to his place and instantly deploy it.
Other times some building contractors rent the trailer for their own purposes. In this case the trailer can be hooked up to the front loader to a construction site to assist in the installation of new lights in an underpass.
Our repairman can go about other repair with his truck although he is not towing the utility lift with him. Even on its own, our red and yellow repair truck stands out with the large electrical utility sign on its side.
Design: 10/10 The design of the scissor lift is pure genius. Its too bad that such a scissor lift is not implemented further in Classic Town. The trailer with the warnings signs mounted on hinges which also doubles up as stabilizers when deployed is also another another design accomplishment for this little set.
Parts: 9/10 There is a wealth of red and yellow parts as well as the printed panel which is unique to this set only. The printed panel with the electrical logo is extremely useful for any MOCs concerning electricity utility vehicles.
Playability: 10/10 Repair the street light, repair the roof of the garage, fix the elevator in Metro Park and Service Tower or rescue a cat on a tree, the utility lift's versatility allows it to be in numerous scenarios. The truck and trailer can be played on its own and also other Classic Town vehicles with a tow hook can use the utility lift.
Minifigure: 7/10 Standard Classic Town minifigure in blue overalls. TLG could have added in a minifigure with an electric symbol on its torso however.
Overall: 10/10 This is another one of those little Lego sets which holds itself up so well that even by today's standards, it surpasses anything produced by TLG currently. So far there are no other City or Town sets which utilizes the scissor lift mechanism as used in this set. It would be great to see TLG produce another set that utilizes a scissor mechanism as there seem to be an empty niche of small utility lifts which can be deployed anywhere and inside buildings.
My reviews: Classic Town #6354 Pursuit Squad, # 6503 Sprint Racer, # 6542 Launch and Load Seaport, #6644 Road Rebel, # 6671 Utility Repair Lift, #6695 Shell Tanker Truck Power Miners: #8960 Thunder Driller Clone Brick Review: Enlighten Main Battle Tank

Posted 30 December 2009 - 03:21 PM
This was one of the first sets that I built coming out from dark ages and it's still one of my favorites.
I'm still impressed from the lift mechanism and to be honest I put it in front of me as I'm typing now.
The warning signs are also a very nice feature. The only thing that bugs me when it comes to my copy is that the wheels produce a squeeky sound when I move it back and forth.
(Does this count as "play with LEGO"? )
Thanks again for this wonderful review and the great pictures paanjang16!
Alywin, your set is probably the 6671 Stalker Lift.

I bought mine from an eBay seller last year. The seller told me that the set he was going to sell to me was a "special edition" and was 18+ instead of normally 5+. After I built it up and saw it in action, I (and you) then understood what he meant...

This is a very nice set, and I owned this set inside my childhood collection. Unfortunately, I can't seemed to locate it anymore.
Nevertheless, I will love to own it once more to add into my current Classic Town collection. Such a simple small set like this offers so much playability in it. Your review has simply demostrated what its function is capable of. I noticed Alywin also shared his own experience with the Utility Repair Lift.
Love the way, you guys presented this set with your creativity.
paanjang16, do visit Classic-Town.net on New Years Day afternoon! There is a surprise for you.

My older hinges haven't held up well to years of play, but all 6 of them together still have enough friction to hold the lift up. The transition to click hinges precludes more ingenious uses of the old hinges in sets like this (see this year's lift). In my experience the click hinges have so much friction you're just as likely to pull them off the trailer as raise the lift up. Both definitely have a place in the peice lineup; it's a shame Lego doesn't think so.
Posted 30 December 2009 - 10:34 PM
A simple service truck and scissor lift (which is the best part), and it's only taken 21 years to replace it with a new repair truck.
Thanks for a cool review, 'Paanjang16'.
Posted 30 December 2009 - 11:48 PM
I have two friend that wanted to bought that from me back then so much!
Trailer is very intelligent, and I think this set was one of the few that drag me into the Technic.
Great review, great set!

What a fun and interesting review! I love the way the utility truck is used in various situations and i have to say, the photos and comparisons were perfect!
This is one of my most highly sought after set, simply because of the simple yet truely effective design of the scissor lift, the red and yellow colour design and the beautiful-yet-once-in-a-lifetime panel with 'lighting bolt' sign printed...
Thanks for a wonderful review! and of course, this set is a high 5 for me ~~ Cheers!!
Posted 01 January 2010 - 07:17 PM
This was the first lego set I was given to as a kid and I thought it was the most wonderful set ever! Too bad I didn't have enough sense to keep the box though
Stop! Give me back my cart you knuckle-head!

Not sure what I did wrong, but installing this page and adding just one affiliate link took page load times from 700ms to >10,000 ms. De-activating the plugin made the site fast again.
The Support Forums will be in read-only mode for a scheduled maintenance window on 01 September 2016 14:00 UTC - 20:00 UTC. More information.
Not sure what I did wrong, but installing this page and adding just one affiliate link took page load times from 700ms to >10,000 ms. De-activating the plugin made the site fast again.
The excesive load time you experienced was on the front-end ? e.g. when the site was displayed to visitors ? or in your wp-admin area ?
Can you give me more info about this problem so I can find a solution ?

I added only one affiliate link.
I have my own VPS on Linode.
Will try to set up a new clean blog with only your plugin and see if I have the same problem. I'll report back when I have some news, but it might take a while.

Security Forces Hospital in Dammam, KSA. Any info regarding this hospital?
0 hi everyone, I tried applying through an agency for security forces hospital located in Dammam, KSA. I tried searching online, but couldn't find the hospital's website. I just want to make sure this hospital exists, how many bed capacity it has, if this is a tertiary one or not. The agency wouldn't give me more info regarding the hospital and that it will be discussed during the interview, and I just want to make sure this is a good medical facility to work in before i show up for the interview and accept the offer.

Say what you will about the stock market's recent skid, investors have a very favorable tailwind at their backs heading into the final few weeks of the year.
The Congressional budget deal and its possible impact on the Federal Reserve's taper timetable weighed on stocks Wednesday, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 129 points, its biggest drop in a month. The blue-chip average has dropped in seven of the past nine trading sessions, falling 1.6% over that timeframe.
For now, the selloff isn't causing much concern among market watchers. "This is more of a lack of buyers than any type of real panic," Mark Newton, chief technical analyst at Greywolf Execution Partners, wrote to clients Wednesday afternoon.
Looking beyond the day-to-day gyrations, here are five trends, courtesy of WSJ Markets Data Group, that point to the December effect on stocks and the rally reaccelerating by the end of the year:
December Is the Best Month for Stocks: The Dow has risen in December 72% of the time throughout its history. It averages a 1.4% monthly gain, the best increase of all 12 months.
Don't Fret About the Early December Weakness: The bulk of the December rally typically occurs in the final 10 trading days of a year, a trend that bodes well considering the Dow is down 1.5% this month. Historically the Dow is flat, on average, in the first two weeks of December. It then averages a 1.5% gain in the final 10 trading days of the month.
Yearly Highs Happen Most Often in December: There have been 36 times the Dow has hit its high of the year in December, more than twice the amount of the next highest month — January – which has had 16 highs in a given year.
Last-Day-of-the-Year Effect: The Dow has ended at a high on the final trading day of the year 11 times throughout its history. Ten of those 11 instances were record closes, with the most recent occurrence coming in 2003.
Santa Claus Is Good for Stocks: The Dow has risen in the five days before Christmas 65% of the time, including 10 of the past 12 years, averaging a 0.5% gain. The last five days of the year are typically even better for stocks: The Dow has risen 79% throughout this timeframe, averaging a 1.2% gain.
Of course the major caveat with all of this is past performance isn't always a predictor of future performance. But with stocks looking wobbly at these lofty levels, the bulls should take solace in the seasonal tailwind and what the second half of December usually brings to the market.

Blackstone Group's Hilton Worldwide will debut on the stock market on Thursday with a market capitalization of roughly $2.5 billion after pricing its initial public offering at $20 a share. Demand for Hilton has been strong in reflection of the strength in the global hotel industry, according to reports. Still, hotel guests aren't likely to notice any major changes immediately after the IPO although there could be renovations down the road and better perks for loyal customers.
Adobe is projected to report fourth-quarter earnings of 32 cents a share, according to a consensus survey by FactSet. Analysts at UBS expect net new subscriptions to grow by 350,000, better than the 331,000 increase in the third quarter, due to increasing familiarity by users and year-end seasonal factor.
Lululemon is expected to report third-quarter earnings of 41 cents a share. The yoga-wear company said Tuesday its founder Chip Wilson will resign as chairman and named Laurent Potdevin as chief executive. Lululemon's brand image has been tarnished recently in the wake of a sheer-pants debacle in March and comments from Wilson about the types of women who can wear the company's clothes.
Budget Deal Picks Up Steam: "House Republican leaders threw their weight behind a two-year budget deal, planning to bring it to a vote Thursday as opposition in both parties failed to gain enough traction to threaten passage."
Pensions Make Most of Stocks' Surge: "A roaring stock market and rising interest rates are fueling the strongest recovery in the $2.4 trillion U.S. corporate-pension sector in more than a quarter-century."
Fed Moves Toward New Tool for Setting Rates: "Federal Reserve officials hope to use an experimental bond-trading program known as a 'reverse repo' facility to fundamentally change the way the central bank sets short-term interest rates."
Fischer Poised to Be Picked as Fed's No. 2: "President Barack Obama is close to nominating former Bank of Israel chief Stanley Fischer to become the vice chairman of the Federal Reserve."
In Volcker Rule, Wall Street Dodges One Bid to Tighten a Potential Loophole: "Wall Street won a victory in the Volcker rule by ducking an attempt to tighten what some policy makers see as a potential loophole in regulatory scrutiny, involving trading for so-called 'liquidity management.'"
U.S.-Backed Commander in Syria Forced to Flee: "Islamist fighters ran the top Western-backed rebel commander in Syria out of his headquarters, and he fled the country, U.S. officials said Wednesday."
Zippo in Talks With Liberty Global: "Ziggo said Thursday it is in talks with U.S. cable company Liberty Global about a potential takeover that could value the Dutch cable and telephone provider at more than €6 billion ($8.3 billion)."
Euro-Zone Industrial Output Falls Sharply: "Industrial output in the 17 countries that share the euro fell sharply in October, a development that raises fresh questions about the sustainability of the currency area's return to economic growth."
Peugeot Hit by $1.5 Billion Write Down: "French car maker PSA Peugeot Citroën said Thursday it would write down the value of its automobile division by €1.1 billion ($1.5 billion) and warned that cost savings from its alliance with General Motors would be smaller than expected."
3-D Printing Stocks Catch Wall Street's Eye: "Surging share prices and blockbuster initial public offerings from 3-D printing companies are drawing attention from analysts at the big Wall Street banks."
Should U.S. Replace $1 Bills With Coins? Fed to Weigh In: "Proponents of dollar coins are girding for a new fight over the $1 bill as the Federal Reserve prepares a study that is expected to reignite debate over making the switch."

I go to the school and speak to financial planning dept. They only give me a list of handwritten dates in which they supposedly sent letters to me (few of which I ever got) and a print out of my account activity. They also stated that after an account is sent to collections they can't bring it back to handle "in house." I argue that there has to be someone who can help me and they said that I couldn't do anything until i had made my first payment to collections.
After conversations with family I decide to go through all of my correspondence that I had received and match up the numbers to my account activity sheet. NONE of the dates matched and NONE of the "owed" amounts matched up. my account sheet said 1 thing and the letters and or conversations I had with financial aid expressed other amounts.
After building my case I wrote a formal letter to the chief financial officer at the school and spoke to the lawyer. They quickly sided with me when they saw the discrepancies and I ended up getting everything worked out.
But, they are VERY unprofessional and VERY unorganized in financial aid. The school is expensive (more so than the University in which I preciously attended) and they will mix your money up and cheat you out of more than you will realize if you let them. I'm sure they've done this to others... I just caught them. Thanks to the help of the family members that assisted me.

With the starter Natural Moods cartridge set, you get to experience these moods.
We'll start you off with tracks to relax, energize, or take a mental beach holiday. Think notes of ginger or peppermint for an afternoon pick-me-up, lavender to calm you, and the scent of suntan to remind you of that last beach day. Feel free to play and explore from there, to make the perfect scent track for your day!
The Natural Moods Vocabulary
To get you started with Cyrano, we've created the a set of accompanying oChip cartridges with Natural Moods scents. These twelve scents, when played in combination, sequence, or solo will empower your scent exploration.

Posted 18 February 2010 - 01:19 AM
Set Name: Cross Bone Clipper
Set Number: 6250
Number of Pieces: 151
Minifigs: 3
Price: 33.00 USD
Theme: Pirates
Year Released: 1997
(Remember, pics are clickable!)
First up is the box, which my brother conveniently stored is his closet and kept in perfect shape. You can see lots of Classic Pirates touches, like the molded background and the foaming sea. The edges of the box get a nice purple color.
The back features a lovely treasure map background, as well as alternate models galore! Perhaps this is because there aren't too many features to advertise.
Upon inspecting the box further, I came across this price tag. This was an incredible price for the set back then, so you can imagine how shocking this is now! Perhaps the reason why it was marked down so far is that it wasn't selling very well...
Just cut a seal, and out slides the tray. The box's shape is mainly supported by the tray.
Box:: Thoughts: Classic and simple, which is always nice in today's world of advertising. It actually seems fairly thin considering the large hull pieces would have had to fit in.
Next up are the instructions, which have a cropped, almost over-cropped, version of the box on it. Lots of the set information has been swiped off.
Minifig Page:
First, the simple minifigs are built, and construction starts without hesitation. Notice the tan parchment background, which compliments the set's color quite well.
Random Page:
This random page shows how sub-models and string are added. Submodels get their own light-tan boxes and string gets its own 1:1 scale box too.
The back features rearranged alternate models from the back. There are absolutely no ads; as soon as construction is done, the book ends.
Instructions:: Thoughts: These are even simpler than the box! Incredibly to-the-point and no errors or color discrimination difficulties.
Pieces (sorted):
Here are the set's pieces, meticulously sorted for your viewing pleasure. You can see that for a $30 set, there are barely any pieces! Also, for a mostly green set, there are no green pieces aside from the hulls. Apart from accessories, the pieces are fairly generic. However, there aren't too many colors, one of the problems with 6280 Armada Flagship, the "Rainbow Ship".
Pieces of interest:
The more interesting pieces of the set include barrels, swords, coins, and the red flag pieces. The red pole appears in five sets, and the circular one is exclusive to this set.
Pieces:: Thoughts: There aren't very many of them, but what's there is simple and fulfilling.
Here are the three minifigs included in the set. They all have wonderful torso printing and headgear. Female pirates were rare and Captain Redbeard is always a treat with his hook, peg leg, eyepatch, and epaulette.
No printing on the backs, but this was very common back in the day.
Minifigs:: Thoughts: Fairly rare, wonderfully printed, and 100% pirate. Quite an array for a smaller ship.
The build progresses very smoothly and is very quick. With a lack of pieces, it's not a surprise that the process is very unfulfilling. The pictures are taken at perfect 3 step intervals, and it a quick 18 steps the ship is done. I noticed that I missed a few pieces the step they appeared, so this isn't the easiest build. Pieces are added inconspicuously and are easy to miss. No interesting building techniques are used either.
Build:: Thoughts: Subtle, fast, unfulfilling, and no interesting techniques leads to a fairly unpleasant build.
And the ship is finished. Doesn't it look kind of cute?
A full-front shows an excellent view of the sails. The main sail is printed on one side, but the smaller one is printed on both sides.
If you can't have a figurehead, this is the next best thing! A skull is simple and matches the ship very well.
A side view gives you a better idea of the ship's layout. You can see that the string that attaches to the front supports the barrel of gold in the middle. You can also see a string that keeps the main sail close against the mast.
Most of the action of the ship is happening in the middle and back of the interior. In my opinion, it's a tad cramped, but nothing really interferes with anything else.
Steering Wheel:
Nothing like a good, old fashioned steering wheel! I'm surprised that the wheel is down here. It would make more sense if it was up on the platform.
However, there's at least one good point to the steering system- you can control the rudder from inside! I've removed the platform to give you a better view of this simple but effective design.
The back platform of the ship looks empty without a steering wheel. However, the barrel and the lantern are nice touches. This is usually where I put Redbeard and his map.
The cannon that came with mine is of the non-firing variety, but it seems like there's a special design suited for firing cannons. Let's try substituting in a 2009 firing one to see if we can identify it...
With Firing:
And indeed we have! The small pin can actually keep the trigger pulled at a decent distance! All you need to load it is pop in a cannon ball, push on the back and snap the little clip into place, and then gently press on the front of the cannon and the ball will fire!
If you don't get what I mean, here's a video demonstration. Quite ingenious isn't it? It doesn't work the best, but you can modify it to shoot farther.
Design: 7/10 It feels a little bit cramped, and the steering wheel should be on the platform, but otherwise the design is pretty sleek and simple. I think the amount of details was sufficient for a small ship.
Parts: 8/10 A good selection without an overwhelming number of colors. The hull pieces are cool, and the set has a few rare pieces.
Build: 5/10 A tad fast and difficult, but otherwise fine. The string riggings aren't too hard, which is a good plus.
Minifigs: 10/10 Lovely printing, fairly rare, and a female pirate. Any more and the ship would be crowded, but what they gave us was great.
Playability: 8/10 This would probably be a lot more fun with a firing cannon, but otherwise, you can sail the seas, steer the rudder, and stage pirate battles with the selection of weapons included.
Price: 5/10 Too expensive for the price, due to the large hull pieces. Even so, it should have been cheaper. The $15 price I got it for was much more reasonable.
Total: 43/60 Even though it got a C-, this ship is just dwarfed by all other ships and seems bad. It has some nice features, and the bad ones can be easily modded. I would recommend this to Pirate fans with a smaller budget, because this is one of the smaller "actual" ships. I think the cute little ship just needs some love.

I find it a bit strange that the steering wheel is down there,
and it isn't even connected to the rudder.
