I completely understand that working with PDF files can become quite cumbersome if you're not well versed in them. What you CANNOT DO in Preview (and in other free or low cost PDF editors) is move or alter any marks on the page whatsoever. It's true that for very light work with PDF's, you may be able to make do with some less expensive, and even some free products.Īpple's own Preview (which comes with the Mac OS) has a surprising number of features for working with PDF's.Ī) highlight (in yellow), strike through or underline textī) encircle anything on the page with a lasso of any shape, size or colorĬ) add marginal notes (in a side column) of any length, anywhere in the documentĭ) add new text in any font, any color, any size, anywhere in the document where there is spaceĮ) individual pages can be dragged out of or into the document or deleted from the documentį) convert to a PostScript file (which can be edited and re-converted to PDF with the right software) True PDF editors currently are in the $130 to $180 price range. And they usually don't have advanced abilities to create or work with forms. The PDF editors that you are referring to, some of which offer their products for free, aren't what are called "true PDF editors." That is, they don't allow you to completely erase text in an existing PDF document and replace it with different text in the same style. It's on sale for half price currently from various sources, such as: PDF Expert does not come from Adobe, it comes from Readdle: That's an excellent deal considering that most true PDF editors for the Mac (other that Adobe Acrobat Pro) currently go for between $130 to $180. Preview barely has any forms capabilities.Īt $70, that's half of PDF Expert's normal price. PDF Expert has advanced forms capabilities. the PDF is entirely static, like a graphic file), and it can turn that PDF into an editable word processing document. PDF Expert can do OCR on a PDF that was originally created from a scan (i.e. Preview can't change any existing text in a PDF document, and it can only add text somewhere in a document where text doesn't currently exist. PDF Expert is a true PDF editor (and a potential replacement for the expensive -$538.80- Adobe Acrobat Pro) in that it can erase existing text in a PDF document and replace it with text of matching font and size. I recommend picking up PDF Expert for Mac just so you have it in your toolbox for when you need a little more PDF power.I don't know what the original poster's needs are, but PDF Expert has some very advanced abilities that Preview can't match, and which are invaluable in some use cases. That’s an amazing price and extremely competitive with Adobe Acrobat.īut for the next few days, MacBundler has it for 50% OFF! You can purchase PDF Expert for Mac through my affiliate link at MacBundler, or just visit on your own. Readdle sells PDF Expert for Mac for $59.99. It’s definitely worth having on your Mac if nothing else for the “Reduce File Size” feature that’s prominent in the File menu with an adjustable slider (see screenshot below). And while I think there are still some tweaks that need to be made for lawyers, it is quickly becoming a strong competitor to PDFpen Pro and Adobe Acrobat. I’ve been watching and using PDF Expert for several months. Second, while we all know Readdle for their iOS apps like PDF Expert, Documents 5 (my review), Scanner Pro (my review), PDF Converter, and more, they have also been developing PDF Expert for the Mac which was recently updated. It’s a rare sale and completely worth the investment if you have an iPad. All three apps on their own cost $309.97, but limited-time sale price is $249.00 which saves you $60.97. First, Lit Software has put their “ Ultimate Litigation Bundle” on sale which includes all three of their fantastic apps: TrialPad, TranscriptPad, and DocReviewPad. This game just looks astounding with a ton of background detail and not just in the foreground. It seems impossible for Guerrilla to have squeezed so much power out of the PS3, but it really shows here. Fighting the huge MAWLR at the end of the game is just jaw-dropping since everything has such detail. When it comes to looks Killzone 3 shines over any FPS out right now. This requires strategy with the weapons you choose and I love this a lot. Killzone 3 is also heavily cover-based so you can’t just run and gun or you will die almost instantly. Aiming is a lot better since it’s not as stiff as the past games as well. The guns have weight to them, but not the annoying weight which makes the game feel slower. Shooting overall feels better than the past games and is really fun. There are also some other parts of the campaign mixed up with vehicle sections and even a section in space! The campaign never gets boring and is constantly changing things for you and this includes environments (more on that later). The jetpack is a new addition and it feels great to fly and works well in multiplayer. Ammo crates scattered around help you stay loaded up on ammo for your favorite guns, but being able to carry a normal weapon and a heavy one is a great change. There are also more weapons that you can carry such as detachable turrets that you can store on your person for later. The Arc Cannon shoots green energy and makes enemies explode, so this naturally replaces the lightning gun. The WASP is a portable mortar that homes in on enemies and if you zoom in you can use it as a one-shot artillery strike. The old weapons are slightly upgraded so they feel nicer to wield around, but the new weapons kick ass. The recoil has been toned down so not every weapon feels completely inaccurate which makes the game not so hard as well. Shooting guns in this game feel tighter and a bit faster than in the past games. Speaking of action that’s what Killzone is all about. Every scene is carefully plotted out and the action compliments it. You really care for all the characters in this game since it feels like it was directed like a movie. The dialog is sharp, and the set pieces are phenomenal which makes for a roller-coaster campaign. You really feel like you’re on the brink of defeat due to the constant struggle for survival. It sounds cliché but the characters are engrossing, they are more fleshed out and their personalities are deepened which makes for a more riveting story. After assassinating General Vasari at the end of Killzone 2 the ISA squad has to stop a new rising threat while the Helghast high council tries to use a new superweapon to wipe out Earth. You play, once again, as Sevchenko and you’re fighting the genocidal Helghast army, but this time it’s a lot more personal and the ISA are really in some trouble. The single-player campaign has always been touch and goes for some people, but I personally think Killzone 3 has the strongest single-player in the series and even stacks up (or is better) than some of today’s FPS single players’ campaigns. Plus don’t forget about the astounding multi-player suite. So, Killzone 2 was shown and trumped Halo 3 in a lot of ways (mainly graphics) and became the PS3 owner’s favorite FPS.įast forward almost 7 years from the first game and Killzone 3 is an unstoppable juggernaut and a huge technical powerhouse. Its sepia-toned art style was also a turn-off from Halo’s colorful world. It failed big time due to the lack of power the PS2 had and Killzone was released with lots of slow down and didn’t look nearly as good as Halo 2. The first Killzone (released in November 2004) was deemed a Halo killer and was Sony’s late attempt to create an FPS killer app that would dominate Halo. Once you start calling out beloved franchises and threatening to kill them you will get scrutinized for it by fanboys/girls.

Located in Lutsen, Minnesota, this award-winning farm has been producing maple syrup since the early 80s and was established in 1995. Located in Minnetrista, Minnesota, this family owned farm has been making maple syrup since 1994. Click on the names below to learn about each farm. Minnesota has maple syrup farms from which you can purchase small to large quantities of the kitchen staple. Not ready to produce your own maple syrup? No worries. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has provided a “how to” on tapping and making maple syrup. It can be an enjoyable and educational experience. The bark is typically light brown or pale gray with deep scales.īelieve it or not, producing maple syrup is a hobby for some individuals and a common family activity. Leaves have anywhere between three to nine leaflets that have coarse teeth. Although they prefer soil that is damp, they are adaptable. Boxelders are a common source of syrup in parts of the country where other maples do not grow.īoxelders can grow up to 70 feet in height and often have a wide crown. Although the syrup can be very thick and what some would describe as “bitter,” they can also produce syrup that is sweet and delicious. The bark is also similar to that of a red maple.īoxelders are the most common maple trees in Minnesota and the U.S. Although the leaves are light green on the top, they have a light silver shine on the bottom which contributes to the name of the tree. Like red maple leaves, they have three to five pointed lobes with teeth along the edging, though they often appear jagged in comparison. Silver maples grow up to 60 feet in height, though in some cases they’re taller. As the tree ages, the bark darkens and cracks. Young trees have bark that is gray and even. In the fall, the leaves turn shades of – you guessed it – red, as well as orange and yellow. Their light green leaves have three to five pointed lobes with teeth along the edging. Red maples grow up to a height of roughly 65 feet. This shortens the tapping season because when a tree is no longer dormant, the sap changes and produces syrup that is unsavory. Compared to sugar maples, red and silver maple trees break dormancy very early in the spring. The sap can be cloudy but this quality doesn’t affect the flavor or sweetness of the syrup. While they’re not the first choice, both red and silver maple trees are perfectly acceptable options for producing syrup. The bark is brown or light gray and is smooth when the tree is young then begins to crack and loosen over time. In the spring and summer, they are dark green and change to red, orange and yellow in the fall. Leaves typically have five lobes with wavy teeth and are up to five inches in length. This should be noted for all trees that can used for production, although the tapping season varies by when they break dormancy.ĭepending on the soil, sugar maples can grow up to 100 feet in height. Sap begins to flow when the temperatures shift between below and above freezing. In fact, other species need to produce roughly twice as much sap as sugar maples to yield the same amount of syrup. Sap from sugar maple trees is often preferred by maple syrup producers because it is higher in sugar content than other species of maple trees. Sugar maple trees are a common part in most of the Minnesota landscape except a portion of the western region. But have you ever wondered what the characteristics are of maple trees that produce syrup? From identifying a handful of maples that produce syrup to how to tap your own tree, we will discuss a variety of maple syrup production topics below. Have you ever wondered where maple syrup comes from? Probably not – the name kind of gives it away.

Skyway accepts three forms of payment, Cash, Credit Cards or E-ZPass/ I-PASS. On behalf of the Chicago Skyway, have a safe and pleasant trip! Whether you are a first-time customer or a regular commuter, thank you for choosing to travel with us. Our employees are the cornerstone of our success, and I am proud to have them as part of the Skyway team. We value having a strong safety culture and, in 2022 alone, conducted over 830 hours of safety training to keep our employees and travelers safe. Education is a big focus for us that’s why we have donated hundreds of backpacks and school supplies, as well as tens of thousands of dollars, to local schools and neighborhoods to help Chicago’s youth excel.Īt the Skyway, safety is our top priority. From supporting veterans’ groups, food pantries, and schools, we have made an effort to give back to those around us. Throughout these improvements, our focus has been on making environmentally friendly upgrades, including the installation of LED light fixtures and “smart” motion sensors to reduce our electricity consumption.Īdditionally, we have also made it a priority to stay engaged and give back to our neighbors in the surrounding communities. In the last several years, we have invested over $130 million in key infrastructure improvements to ensure our roadway is in a state of good repair for users. For over six decades, the Skyway has provided millions of travelers with an efficient transportation option, served as a key employer in the region, and participated as an active partner to the community. Our mission here is simple - provide the safest, fastest, most convenient, and most reliable route to and through Chicago. Atlas Arteria Group, a worldwide toll road operator based in Australia, acquired 66.67 percent interest in the Skyway in December 2022, with OTPP retaining the remaining 33.33%. In February 2016, Skyway was purchased by three Canadian Pension Funds - OMERS Infrastructure, CPP Investment Board, and Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (OTPP). The lease agreement between Skyway and the City of Chicago was the first privatization of an existing toll road in the United States. The Skyway was operated and maintained by the City of Chicago until January 2005 when Skyway Concession Company, LLC assumed its operations under a 99-year operating lease. The bridge itself spans the Calumet River and Calumet Harbor, a major harbor for industrial ships – its main span extends 650 feet long and provides for 125 feet of vertical clearance. The main feature of the Skyway is a 1⁄2-mile-long steel truss bridge, known as the "High Bridge". Built by the City of Chicago in 1958, the Chicago Skyway Toll Bridge (also known as the “Skyway”) is a 7.8-mile-long toll road that connects the Indiana Toll Road to the Dan Ryan Expressway on Chicago's South Side. |
