How can we take steps to eliminate the extra layer of government called "Oak Park Township?" Is there a way that we voters can "recall" it?

Tell me about Whittier School

Our daughter went to Whittier, a very good school. There are 4 homes for sale in the block north of us on Humphrey. Welcome to the area! Drop by 521 later in the summer for some great tomatoes.

Thanks for sharing Brent. I downloaded Glary Utilities last night and was very impressed. Clean interface and very easy to use.

From what I saw, it seems like e-reading works pretty well. I like the fact that it's an e-reader AND so much more. I'm sure I'll break down and buy one at some point.

Many internet service providers give free software now too. Comcast gives you Norton 360 (Awesome) Att/DSL gives you McAfee. (Excellent) I've used both and their topnotch.

Yes. Avira, Avast and AVG are good free antivirus software, and there are others, but Microsoft Security Essentials is smaller, easier and less intrusive.

Anyone have an Apple iPad?

I'm curious about how nice reading eBooks on the iPad is. I know that Kindle and Nook and Sony readers have digital ink and are great, but I would rather have a reader/browser/computer.
I sure like my Toshiba Tablet PC. For teachers they are great.

Microsoft Security Essentials--antivirus and antispyware
Comodo firewall

Both are free, excellent and available at www.download.com, which is a secure place to download software.
