Divorce Law
Divorce is the process by which a marriage is legally dissolved. In Florida, divorce is granted on one of two grounds: either the marriage is irretrievably broken, or one of the parties has become mentally incapacitated. If the reason for your divorce is mental capacity, be advised that you must wait 3 years from the date your spouse is declared by a court to be mentally incapacitated before you can file for divorce. Of course, most people get divorced because their marriage cannot be saved. They have tried marriage counseling, they have tried various ways of solving their problems, and at least one of the spouses has come to the conclusion that the marriage is over. Florida is a no-fault divorce state. What this means to you is that it frankly just doesn't matter why you're getting divorced. Who did what to whom is not going to be a factor in your divorce unless there is child neglect or abuse involved or if a spouse is spending marital assets on an adulterous affair. The former may impact child custody and time-sharing, and the latter may impact the equitable distribution of your financial assets and liabilities.
Divorce is incredibly emotional and often draining. It can be completely debilitating at times. And yet, during this process, you will be called upon to make numerous major life decisions that will likely impact the rest of your life. That is probably the single best reason to hire an attorney to assist you in this process, preferably in a way that will get you through this ordeal with as little waste of your financial resources as possible. But our goal is to do a great deal more than just give you the necessary legal advice to get you the best possible outcome. We try our best to give you the kind of practical guidance you need to navigate the emotional roller coaster to which this time in your life can be aptly compared. One of our favorite divorce books is Crazy Time by Abigail Trafford. For a list of other recommended books for parents and for children, click Resources.
The Initial Stages:
Many divorces are settled before court papers are ever filed. They can be resolved by both parties working together with a single neutral mediator, by both parties having their own attorneys who settle the case through direct settlement negotiations or through a relatively new process called Collaborative Divorce. Collaborative Divorce consists of both parties having their own attorneys, who work together in a cooperative way to develop the financial picture of the parties, agreeing on experts if needed, and generally working together to reach a fair and equitable settlement for the parties. For more information about collaborative law, click the Collaborative Family Law tab.
But assuming that pre-filing settlement isn't possible, the first step in your divorce is to prepare the initial papers. If you are the spouse filing for divorce, that will include a Petition for Dissolution. There are certain required elements that must be included in the Petition, but it is not the place to tell the story of why you are getting divorced. Along with the Petition will be a document that details certain information about your children (if applicable), a document with required social security information (that is sealed and not available to public view), and your financial affidavit.
After the initial pleadings have been filed, the next step is complying with the rule that requires mandatory financial disclosure. The parties, either separately or working in conjunction with one another, must produce all of their mutual financial documentation. You will receive a document checklist outlining each and every item covered by this rule. All of the assets and liabilities should be determined at the time you are filling out your financial affidavit, and copies of the actual statements, accounts and records are produced to the other side.
Settlement, Mediation and Collaborative Divorce:
It is always better to settle your differences amicably than it is to fight it out in court. Litigation is expensive, stressful, time-consuming and ultimately, a gamble. The most cost-effective use of my time is in preparing your case for an amicable resolution. You can help minimize your legal costs by spending the extra time necessary to gather and organize all of your financial records, make 2 sets of copies of everything , and do your research so that you can fill out your financial affidavit accurately. It is the most important document we create, and it needs to be completely accurate!
All family cases must at least attempt mediation at some point before they can go before a Judge for a final hearing, or trial, of the matter. Mediation is where most divorces are settled. You and your attorney, your spouse and his/her lawyer, and a neutral mediator (a professional experienced in family law) spend what is usually the better part of a day negotiating the details of your divorce, drawing up a settlement agreement (often after several drafts and many revisions as the parties and the lawyers read through it) and signing it that same day.
Before we attend mediation, we will spend an hour or two preparing together. We will discuss various scenarios, and you will leave that preparation meeting with a clear picture of what to expect, what strategies we plan to follow, what your bottom line is, and where you're willing to be flexible. Settlement is all about compromise. There is a saying that goes: "a good settlement is one where both parties are equally unhappy". Be prepared to compromise. Rest assured, the worst settlement is still better than the best trial. Although there will often be talk in terms of what a Judge might do, our goal is always to avoid having to see the Judge for anything but an uncontested final hearing.
Uncontested Final Hearing:
Once the agreement is signed, it is binding upon both parties. A few days later the attorney who will be going to court for the uncontested final hearing (usually the Petitioner) sets the hearing and sends a proposed final judgment and any accompanying orders (like income deduction orders, discussed later) to the other side for approval. The final hearing usually takes place within a couple of weeks. In Broward County, all uncontested final hearings are heard by the presiding judge between 8:45 and 9:45 am Monday - Thursday upon 5 business days notice. Palm Beach County is similar to Broward.
Maintaining Status Quo while divorce is pending:
Just because you are getting divorced doesn't mean that your responsibilities to one another are over. You both have an obligation to protect your marital assets. You can't go on a spending spree or start hiding marital assets. It won't work. There's always a paper trail, and we have yet to meet a client who was smarter at hiding assets than any half-decent private investigator (or intrepid spouse) couldn't find using the internet and some good old-fashioned detective work. Transfers to family members are automatically suspicious. Don't bother. Be honest. You'll get through the whole process much more easily. You cannot cancel your spouse's insurance, stop paying 'their share' of the bills when you've always been the primary breadwinner, and otherwise change the way things had been prior to the filing for divorce. A good rule of thumb is if it seems wrong it probably is wrong. If you wouldn't want it done to you, don't do it to your spouse. This is not a time for one-upmanship or spite.
Everyone wants to know about alimony. Are they entitled to it? Are they going to have to pay it? There are several different kinds of alimony, but they all have some things in common. In almost every instance, in order to qualify for an alimony award, the court must find that one party has a need for it and the other party has the ability to pay it.
Permanent, periodic alimony is the first thing people think of when they think of alimony. These are the monthly payments that end only when the receiving spouse remarries, or one of the parties dies. Permanent alimony is awarded in cases marriages 17 years or longer because there is a presumption in favor of permanent alimony if there is a need and ability to pay. Permanent alimony is generally tax deductible to the paying spouse (deducted from your gross income before taxes) and it is taxable to the receiving spouse (added to your gross income before taxes).
Temporary Alimony (or alimony pendente lite) is paid from the time of separation until the time of the Final Judgment. It is not tax-deductible to the paying spouse and not taxable to the receiving spouse. An award of temporary alimony does not necessarily mean that there will be a permanent award of alimony, but it is an indication that such an award is likely. Temporary alimony is not sought in every case, as in when the parties are living together and have no temporary support issues requiring court intervention.
Bridge-the-Gap Alimony may be awarded for 2 years after the divorce to give the receiving spouse a chance to get back on their financial feet. It is often awarded in cases where the marriage was less than 7 years' duration, but there is still need and an ability to pay.
Rehabilitative Alimony is designed to help the receiving spouse acquire the education and job skills needed to prepare him or her for entering the work force or getting a better job to support themselves. The receiving spouse must have a rehabilitation plan that outlines the methods and objectives and details the expenses and time expected to complete the rehabilitation plan. this kind of alimony may be awarded in addition to other forms of alimony, since rehabilitative alimony is for a particular purpose.
Durational alimony is likely to be awarded in cases of marriages between 7 and 17 years, again assuming that one spouse has the need and the other spouse has the ability to pay. The duration of the award varies on a case-by-case basis, but certainly for no more years than the parties were actually married, and likely for fewer years than the duration of the marriage.
Lump Sum Alimony is alimony that is sometimes used instead of permanent, durational or bridge-the-gap alimony where special circumstances exist that makes periodic payments unfeasible, and where there is an asset that would take the place of such periodic payments.
Equitable Distribution:
Florida is an equitable distribution state. What that means to you is that all marital assets and all marital liabilities will be "equitably" divided. Equitable means fair - it does NOT mean 50/50, although that is the starting point. Any asset acquired and any liability incurred during the marriage through the use of marital funds or marital labor is a marital asset or marital liability. Savings, pensions, 401(k)s, IRAs, vacation homes, stocks and bonds, mutual funds, airline miles, credit card accounts, mortgages, automobiles and auto loans, etc. are all examples of marital assets and liabilities.
Real estate can't be divided. It must either be sold and the proceeds divided, or one spouse has to buy out the other spouse's interest. In some cases where there are minor children, an award of exclusive use and possession of the marital home until the youngest child reaches emancipation (18 or graduates from high school under most circumstances) is appropriate. That would permit the parent who spends the majority of the time with the children to remain in the marital home without having to sell it or buy out the other spouse's interest. Rather, the house would only be sold and the proceeds divided after the youngest child graduates from high school.
Non-marital property is property that was acquired outside the marriage; either before the parties were married, by inheritance, or by exclusion in a pre-nuptial agreement. However, in order to remain non-marital property, such assets must never have been commingled with other, marital assets. Putting the stocks and bonds you inherited from your parents into an account with your spouse's name on it and adding money you earned working at your job into the account, and putting your spouse's stock she got from her last job in that same account will render the asset marital. If you actively control and trade an account the increased value can be considered marital. If you use marital funds (like money out of your paycheck) to put a garage and a swimming pool into your inherited vacation home, the enhanced value will be considered a marital asset. Putting your spouse's name on the title of that pre-marital condo 5 years ago when things were good is considered an inter-spousal gift, and it's no longer non-marital.
Child Support:
Calculating Child Support in Florida was made easy to perform (if not easy to understand in all its logic) by the Florida Legislature. We have a statute (§61.30) that outlines child support for us. Child support is determined by adding together your net income and your spouse's net income, and depending on how many children you have, the legislature has already figured out for you how much you should spend to raise your children, given your net available income. Each spouse contributes a certain percentage to that "income pie". Multiply your percentage by the amount the legislature has set as child support, and that tells you how much child support will be. Note: in alimony cases, alimony must be figured before child support, since the alimony affects both parties' incomes, which must be determined before calculating child support.
In addition to baseline child support, there are calculations for health insurance and day care expense, if applicable. Those amounts are added to the base child support obligation or allocated between the parties. Each party is credited with the amounts that they pay on behalf of the other party, since only one parent pays for health insurance and for day care, although both are responsible for their percentage. Uncovered medical, dental, psychological and orthodontic bills and co-pays are also paid on the same percentage basis. Special needs children are subject to additional consideration.
Although there are some common methods of dividing the time-sharing of the children, each case is unique. Depending on your particular circumstances, the time-sharing schedule will include a standard weekly or bi-weekly schedule, a holiday-sharing schedule, and a vacation/summer/winter break schedule. Florida no longer uses the terms custody and visitation. Both parents, unless one is absolutely unfit, will have "shared parental responsibility", which means that you will be required to consult with one another on the major decisions affecting your children, including where they go to school, health matters, extra-curricular activities, and other similar important matters. Day to day decisions are made by the parent with whom the child is with at the moment.
Income Deduction Orders and Child Support Enforcement:
When the parent that will be paying an alimony or child support obligation is employed by a third party and has a regular income, the parent receiving the support is entitled to ask for an Income Deduction Order, which the employer then is required to follow, and deduct the support from the paying parent's paycheck and send it to the receiving parent. In Broward County, the Support Depository will keep records for the parties, and the Department of Revenue/Attorney General's Office will enforce the child support obligation at no charge to the receiving parent when the paying parent becomes delinquent in his/her obligation. In all counties in Florida, the State Disbursement Unit collects the child support and alimony and gives it to the receiving parent. People often prefer private attorneys to enforce support obligations because private attorneys move the case forward much more quickly. In many cases the courts award attorney fees to the party that had to take their spouse to court to compel the payments.
Domestic Violence and 'Restraining Orders':
We have represented hundreds of clients over the years who have been victims of domestic violence. We will ask questions during your initial interview that are designed to help us determine whether you are or have been a victim of domestic violence. In some cases, we will urge clients to obtain what is commonly called a Restraining Order (or Injunction for Protection Against Domestic Violence, as it is formally known). If you have been the victim of domestic violence, it is essential that you disclose this at our first meeting. No one deserves to be the victim of domestic violence. If you believe you are in need of such a restraining order, advise the office immediately after you've contacted the police or gone to the Emergency Room, if need be. It is not necessary for you to have an attorney to go with you to obtain the temporary injunction (which expires in 15 days), as there will be no hearing. The Judge will decide whether you've met the requirements from the Petition for Injunction that you will fill out at the Courthouse. Meeting with us in advance of filing the Petition for Temporary Injunction will ensure that your facts are sufficient to meet the threshold requirements to obtain the Injunction, and that your Petition is worded correctly to give you the best possible chance of success. However, you may want representation when you appear at the hearing that the court will schedule to determine whether the temporary injunction should be made permanent. If your spouse has filed for a restraining order against you, it is essential that you have representation at the hearing. We have represented hundreds of persons served with domestic violence injunctions. However, this office does not represent defendants in criminal domestic violence cases.
Child Support is always subject to later modification by the Court, if there is a permanent, involuntary, substantial and unforeseen change of circumstances to justify it. If your income goes down through no fault of your own, and the change is not temporary, the court can modify your child support. By the same token, if the receiving parent's needs change, or she loses her job, or the paying parent is earning more money that at the time of the original divorce, the court can modify the child support obligation upward. Permanent alimony is modifiable under similar circumstances to child support. Certain other alimony obligations may not be modifiable depending on the particular case and the wording of your original Marital Settlement Agreement or Final Judgment.
Guardians-Ad-Litem and Child Custody Evaluations:
In some cases, there are serious child-related issues. If the parties are in total disagreement over the children, a Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) may be appropriate. A GAL is an attorney who represents the interests of the children in Court. Children generally are never made a part of divorce proceedings. Judges do not normally allow children to testify. But when appropriate, the Judge will agree to the appointment of a GAL to represent the children's interests. The Court will sometimes appoint an expert, often a psychologist, to perform a child custody evaluation to assist the court in determining which parent would better serve as the children's primary caregiver when the parties cannot agree. The Guardian or Psychologist will then make a Report to the Judge and their testimony is evaluated as is the testimony of any other expert witness.
Other Experts:
Occasionally, a forensic accountant might be needed if we have to evaluate a party's business, or examine a financial transaction that cannot be easily understood by the parties and their attorneys. If one party is claiming an inability to work or a limited ability to work, and the parties aren't in agreement as to the validity of such a limitation, an expert who performs an occupational study of that spouse may be needed to determine that party's true capacity to earn a living. Appraisers may be used to value assets like homes, antiques, collectibles, etc.
Your Role:
Fact gathering: You are the primary fact finder in your family law case. Your role will be to provide all the information and evidence possible to prove the issues in your case. You should keep a client notebook that includes a divorce journal. This is an excellent tool that we urge you to make constant use of, writing down everything that happens relating to your divorce. If kept as a diary, such a notebook can become invaluable, admissible evidence to show the court what happened, keeping in mind that it is kept by you and therefore overwhelmingly self-serving.
Cooperation: When we ask you for records, we need your complete, thorough and timely cooperation. We want you to have the most effective, most efficient representation possible. Adherence to deadlines is essential so that you don't incur additional legal fees that are often the result of failure to comply with the Court's deadlines. Checking your email daily is critical as it is the primary method of communicating with you.
Courtesy: Please try and be on time for appointments. Everyone's time is valuable, and when you're scheduled for an appointment in the office, that time has generally been set aside for you. If you know you're going to be late, the earlier that you call and let us know, the easier it is for us to make more productive use of our time, benefiting not only you but all of our clients. If you change phone numbers, email or postal addresses, let us know immediately. Please be courteous to the office personnel. They are valuable members of your legal team. We understand well how stressed you are urging this tumultuous time. We try not to take it personally. Bur our entire staff is dedicated to providing the highest level of service possible, and we are always striving to improve. If we fall short of that goal, please point it out to Ms. Brodzki or Ms. Jacobs and we will endeavor to correct the problem.
Honesty: If you lie to your lawyer, your lawyer can't really help you. You enjoy a privilege of complete confidentiality with your attorney, and with your attorney's office staff. (Note: If you bring others with you to your office appointments, please be advised that actually invalidates the attorney-client privilege, and if for some reason that person became hostile towards you, he/she could freely go and tell the other side everything that was said in that conference). We can best help you if we have all the facts, especially the unpleasant ones. We will do whatever we can to minimize the impact of "negative" facts. But we cannot have a successful strategy to deal with a situation of which we aren't aware. There is nothing worse than being surprised in a hearing with facts that a client neglected to tell us.
Our Role:
As your lawyers, our role is to guide you through this process with compassion, expertise and efficiency. We will provide balance and objectivity to assist you in making difficult decisions. We will make recommendations to you designed to put you in the best possible position to achieve the result that you want. We do everything possible in our office to keep our clients informed at all times as to the progress of their cases. While we may not always be available to take your call or answer your email immediately, we try to return all telephone calls and emails within 24 hours. Together, we will develop a strategy that will maximize your chances of getting the outcome that you desire. Our office staff is there to assist you and answer administrative questions. Our administrative assistants and paralegals cannot give you advice or answer legal questions, but they will faithfully relay your messages and give you as much information as they can.
In the End:
We practice family law because we truly love helping people. We are meeting at one of the most difficult times in your life, and we have the privilege of being your closest advisers assisting you through that process. In most cases, we are rewarded with seeing our clients better off at the end of this journey than they were when they first walked into our office. Once in awhile we get to make a real difference in someone's life. And that makes it all worthwhile.
We want you to have the best possible outcome for your particular set of circumstances. Our goal is to bring you through this ordeal with your dignity intact. We will work hard for you. In return, we ask that you honor your financial obligation to us. We have a long list of satisfied clients who are our largest source of referrals. Chances are you were referred to this office by someone who was either a client, friend of a client, or even someone whose ex we represented! In the end, we hope that we will have earned your enthusiastic recommendation.

Outlook 2016 Duplication Bug
It's come to our attention that the most recent version of Outlook 2016 has a bug if you're using the POP3 protocol that causes it to download duplicate messages, remove message from the server even if it isn't supposed to, or both. If you'd like to read about this known issue on the Microsoft site, click here.
If you have this version and are experiencing duplicated email and/or emails being removed from the server before you think they should be (as seen via webmail or mobile devices) you probably have the version with the bug. To verify the exact version of Outlook you're using. At the top left, click the File tab, then in the left column, click Account. On the right side, there should be a section labeled Product Information. Toward the bottom of that section, click About Outlook. In the About box, there should be a full version number. They say that the one with the bug is version 16.0.6568.2025.
Updating to the fixed version of MS Office
Microsoft says they've put out an updated version of the program that fixes this bug. We don't have first hand experience with the new version, so can't vouch for the fix. To try the updated version first before the workaround, do the following.
- Open MS Outlook.
- Click File then Account (or Office Account).
- On the right under Product Information, note the version listed under Office Updates.
- If the version is not at least 16.0.6568.2036 or later, click Update Options, then Update Now.
Implementing the work around in case the update above did not work.
If this does not work and you need to try the work around, here's the procedure.
- First, in Outlook, click the File tab then Account (or Office Account).
- On the right under Product Information, click Update Options, then Disable Updates. If you don't do this, Office will be updated automatically back to the version with the bug.
- Close all Office programs.
- Open a command prompt. To do this…
– Windows 7 users, click the Start button, and in the search box type command prompt, then click the Command Prompt result.
– Windows 8 and 10 users, go to Search and enter command prompt, then click the Command Prompt result.
- All users, in the command prompt window, type the following lines each followed by the Enter key.
cd C:Program FilesCommon Filesmicrosoft sharedClickToRun
officec2rclient.exe /update user updatetoversion=16.0.6366.2068
- When Office finishes updating, open Outlook again.
Cleaning up the duplicate messages.
After Office has been updated or the fix has been implemented, Outlook may download one more round of duplicates. Fortunately in Outlook 2016 there's an easy way to clean this up.
First you'll want to backup the Outlook data file. To do this…
- Go to the File tab, then click Account Settings, then the Account Settings flyout.
- On the Account Settings screen, click the Data Files tab.
- Select the file for the account with the duplicates, then above click Open File Location. This will open a Windows Explorer window to the folder where the data file is stored.
- Close Outlook because you can't copy the data file if it's open.
- Create a new folder called Backup (or whatever you wish to name it) and Copy–not move–the file to the new folder.
- Once the copy is complete, close the folder window and open Outlook again.
- Select the folder in which the duplicate emails are located, like the Inbox for example.
- On the Home tab's toolbar, in the Delete section, click Clean Up then outlook-2016-duplication-bug.
- Clean Up Folder And Sub Folders will allow you to clean up the folder you've highlighted as well as any sub folders it contains.
- On the small Clean Up Folder window, click Settings.
- On the Settings screen, scroll down to Conversation Clean Up.
- We recommend unchecking all but the first (When cleaning sub folders…) and last (When a reply modifies…) check boxes.
- For "Clean up items will go to this folder:", click Browse.
- We recommend creating a new folder for the cleaned up items. This will allow you to peruse these items to make sure the clean up was accurate before deleting them. Make sure you create it under the same account as is being cleaned up if you have more than one account.
- When finished here, click OK on the Options screen.
- Now click Clean Up Folder to run the clean up operation. NOTE: This could take a while depending on how much mail you have and how much has been duplicated.
- When clean up is finished, check the folder to which you had duplicated items sent.
- Once you're satisfied that the clean up operation was accurate, if you want to permanently delete the duplicates, select the folder containing all the duplicate items, hold down the Shift key, and press Delete on your keyboard.
- You should be asked if you want to permanently delete these items. If you're ready, click Yes (or OK).
- That's it, you should be done for this folder.
- If you have additional folders with duplicate emails, repeat the procedure.

Start Date with AutumnGrove: August 2007
Favorite Part About Working for AutumnGrove: The loving relationships that I've built with my co-workers and families. This has been so much more than a "Job" it has turned into my second family.
Favorite Activity For Residents: Reminiscing by far is my favorite!!! Learning about their life, who they were and what their life was like before Dementia took over. Talking with them teaches me something everyday.
What Got You Into Caring for Alzheimer's Seniors: It happened by accident. I'd just had my first son and decided that after 8 months of being a stay at home mommy that it wasn't for me. I decided to give caring for seniors a try and fell in love!! In love with my residents, my families, and the amazing staff of Autumn Grove. Being at Autumn Grove has not been like a typical job. I make a difference every single day. I change lives and they change mine.
Favorite Moment of Joy with a Resident: We had a resident move into The Woodlands Cottage who was very ill and not expected to live very long. The staff fought hard for her health and well being, we just knew she wasn't ready to leave this world. Everyday we that we cared, loved and encouraged her she grew stronger. She was so strong that she lived at The Woodlands cottage for 3 years before she passed away. I remember sitting with her one night talking, she turned to me and with love in her eyes said, "Thank you for everything you have done for me." My heart melted in that moment and I knew that she felt loved and that was all that mattered to me.

Allow yourself to love. Even if you've been hurt many times by many people. Allow yourself to love and teach yourself to expect nothing from it. Love for yourself. Don't love for other people. Love only because it makes you happy. Many times we hear the people around us say "I loved him (or her) and they didn't care enough to offer me their time." Don't love for someone else. Love people because you wish to be happy, because it makes your heart travel to the moon and back in 2 seconds and that gives you the best feeling in

The sensory enjoyment of music and theatre is not unlike our enjoyment of food and wine – we all have different tastes. This is largely due to how we've been brought up and what we've been exposed to, and there is a physiological element that plays a role. Dr Heather Smyth looks at whether there might be a link between what we like to eat, and what types of music or live performance we prefer?
When we drink a fine wine, our senses perceive the various components of texture, aroma, taste and mouthfeel. Receptors, on our taste buds and olfactory bulb, send a complex array of messages to our brain which are simultaneously perceived. Our brain interprets these messages as wine flavour and determines if we like the sensation, or if it does not meet our taste.
Wine flavour arises from many hundreds of individual compounds that work in combination to create the sensory experience of wine. Like instruments in a symphony orchestra, all components must be present at just the right level and playing in tune with one another. If one wine component is missing, the flavour can be lacking and hollow. If another component is present at very high levels, it can cause an off-note in the wine.
Interestingly, the part of our brain that interprets food and wine aroma is also responsible for functions such as emotion, behaviour and the formation of memories. Different smells often remind us of a time or place, and can influence our mood and emotions. This certainly helps to explain emotional eating!
With performance, we are often 'in the mood' for one style or another. Depending on how we feel we might enjoy some jazz or prefer something a little more upbeat. It's also true that for many, if we're not in the right mood for a certain style of performance it can be completely irritating!
So, is there a food or wine style and flavour that can put us in the right emotional state for one style of performance or other? 'Dinner and a show' goes hand-in-hand, but the link between what we've just eaten and how much we enjoyed the show could be stronger than we realise.
The science of understanding links between sensorial experiences, emotions and behaviours is still in its infancy. Typically, simple flavours have been recognised for their mood-altering abilities. Peppermint is known to increase alertness while rosemary increases calmness and contentment. The emotive influence of complex flavour combinations appreciated in whole foods like a Grenache wine, or a Thai curry, is still far from understood.
Nevertheless, next time you enjoy a live performance, it may be worth paying closer attention to how your Hawaiian pizza made you feel about the comedy, or how your chicken cassoulet influenced your response to the ballet.

Dr Smyth's expertise is in understanding how food composition relates to the sensory experience and consumer enjoyment of food. She has a background in wine flavour chemistry and extensive experience in seafood, wine and horticultural products such as coffee and tropical fruits. She currently works as a Senior Research Fellow for the University of Queensland as part of the Queensland Alliance of Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI) Institute.

A Culinary Adventure
Exploring a new ethnic cuisine can be intimidating to the inexperienced. Trying an unfamiliar style of food is better when accompanied by someone with a little bit of knowledge. Frequently, when experiencing a new ethnic restaurant, it's nice try an assortment of appetizers for a good sampling.
At the Hudson Curry House, you could start with an Assorted Indian Hors D'oeuvres basket, but be advised that each order contains only one of each appetizer. It comes with one meat samosa, a chicken pakora, a bhujia, a medley of veggie pakora and one papadam. Pakora are battered and deep-fried morsels, generally a vegetable. The jewel in the basket is the bhujia. Shredded onions, heavily battered and fried, shimmer red-orange.

Six weeks after that interview with Now went viral, it seems that Gemma Collins' luck has gone from bad to worse
Only a few months ago, Gemma Collins was the queen of memes, a successful business owner and happily loved up with boyfriend James 'Arg' Argent.
But these days things aren't looking quite as bright for Gem, as her latest set of accounts reveal that her boutique business went into liquidation with more than £80,000 worth of debts.
Despite her money woes, it's clear that Gemma has no plans to slow down when it comes to her businesses, as she recently revealed on Instagram that she's working on a new boutique called Candy G and has even started selling her clothes in Marbella salon, Golden Tarts.
However, the 37-year-old's other company, Gemma Collins Ltd did reportedly make a £56,337 profit last year, but it still wasn't enough to cover the debts, and nowhere near enough to cover the GC's lavish lifestyle – despite reports claiming she's worth more than £2million.
In the past she's had boyfriend James 'Arg' Argent's shoulder to lean on in times of need, but the couple were recently rocked again by reports that their on/off romance of seven years is over, following rumours that she had finally had enough of 'his s**t'.
Regardless of whether it was her decision to call it a day or not, the TOWIE star has been very open about her desire to marry and have children with Arg, 30. 'We've seen some beautiful places we'd like to get married in Spain and Essex, but we're trying not to get ahead of ourselves,' explained Gemma. 'I've made no secret of the fact I really want kids so I don't think we'll wait too long before trying for a family.'
But, with their romance firmly off again, it seems as though Gem will be waiting a little while longer before she gets a ring and a baby. And as if that wasn't enough for the GC to deal with at the moment, it seems as though fans are now turning on her, too.
Now's interview with Gemma went viral back in June, after we called out the diva on her antics ahead of her book release. And that caused a serious backlash for the star, and even resulted in her being forced to admit that she didn't actually write the book herself live on an appearance on Loose Women.
More: Back on? Gemma Collins and James Argent cosy up for Marbs moped ride just days after 'split'
She then shared a snap of a private jet she was set to fly on on a trip to Jersey, but fans were quick to point out that she'd pinched a photo from Google. Although Gem later shared a second snap of her posing next to another jet, there's no doubt that the incident left her slightly red-faced.
It looks as though some fans have quite simply had enough of the GC. 'Heard this woman speak on some programme earlier today and I'm literally finding it hard to understand why she seems to be a celeb of some sort. I mean, seriously – am I missing something??' someone wrote. While another added, 'I am not the slightest fan of Gemma Collins, most annoying person to ever get "famous"'.
And it seems fans aren't the only ones getting fed up, businesses aren't tolerating her diva behaviour anymore, either. Last week she shared a snap of her posing in a swimsuit, with the caption, 'Kiki… do you love me.' Swiftly reposting the post, Manchester nightclub KIKI responded, 'We would have loved you if you turned up the first time, but rude to cancel twice with no apology, was just rude.'
Oh dear… So could this be the end of the 'Queen of memays' reign?

FTF Online Magazine ~ Volume One
August 2007
|In the first issue of the FTF Online Magazine, you will find a mixture of interesting articles and resources which we hope will help you with your research. Our writers for this issue are samesizedfeet, Grampa Jim, Guinevere, KiwiChris and Lemon Nelly. All have been members of Family Tree Forum since the start and have been researching their trees for quite a number of years between them. In this issue, we also have a guest author, Douglas Holmes, who retells his experience of having survived the torpedoing of the SS Strathallan in 1942.
September 2007
|Our second issue of the magazine coincides with the first anniversary of the launch of the Family Tree Forum website. The strength of the site is the help which members give each other – from genealogy to problems with their computers via gardening hints.
Our Reference Library has been created from members' recommendations over the past year and continues to expand. The Research Advice forums are always busy with people helping each other break down brickwalls or finding elusive ancestors in census returns.
The Community boards provide help, support and advice on a wide variety of topics including more general threads about genealogically related discussions. One of these threads, "Why did you start your family history research?", started by Simon in Bucks, forms the basis of three of this month's articles. Other members have shared their personal genealogical detective work, including another Simon who writes about his search for his biological mother.
October 2007 ~ Grandparents
|The October edition leads with a collection of memories of members' grandparents. The theme was inspired by a thread within the Community Boards. Other members were approached to expand on their contributions to the thread. We have articles from Olde Crone Holden and Merry Monty Montgomery who tell us about some of their more unusual connections in their Family Tree as well as Joy Dean's story about visiting her ancestral roots in Suffolk.
November 2007 ~ Military
|Our November issue has a military theme. The lead story and its related articles describe how to use a variety of military records in researching your family history. In other articles, Georgette writes about a relative who served in Lucknow, KiwiChris tells us about her great great grandmother who was at Scutari and Christine in Herts describes how she was able to persuade the Commonwealth War Graves Commisssion to amend the details of Great Uncle Cecil.
In addition, Wendy Pusey tells us about the gun carriage which finished up in somebody's garden, guest author Dawn Lewcock shares her wartime memories of Buckinghamshire and Guinevere recounts her day at the LDS Roadshow in Coventry.
December 2007 ~ Family Myths
|This is only the fifth month of publication and we're already going from strength to strength. Many thanks to all contributors, in this and past issues, because without you we wouldn't exist. We are planning various themes for the coming months and nearer the time we will be appealing for stories on the Magazine board. Everyone is welcome to contribute. This month's issue leads with an article by Ann from Sussex based on her thread on the General board asking members for their own family myths. The membership responded with a fascinating mix of stories and four of these have been made into articles of their own. Look very closely and you will spot Royalty amongst the photographs!
Not letting Christmas pass without a mention, Cherry Tradewell recalls her post WW2 Christmas childhood memories, whilst yummy-mummy-of-2 tells of her mother's unhappy Christmastimes. Guinevere explains the history behind her family's special way of celebrating, Suejmog recalls a family story of when her merchant seaman uncle surprised the family by returning home from sea in time for Christmas and Sunny Kate has put her traumatic memories of Christmas 1974 into poetry. Velma Dinkley delves into the history of Christmas and the origin of some of its traditions, and Cloggie tells of how Sinkerklass is celebrated in her homeland of Holland. We also have stories from Rosie Knees, Daisiesinmay and Pippa Doll, based on their own family tree research.
Last, but by no means least, please take a look at Muggins in Sussex's Christmas crossword. This is the first in an occasional series. Look out for the solution in next month's issue.
Which just leaves us to say "Merry Christmas to all Family Tree Forum Magazine's readers and all the very best for 2008".
January 2008 ~ Emigration
|Welcome to the January edition of Family Tree Forum's magazine and a very Happy New Year to everyone from all of us who help produce the magazine. A very special Happy New Year, and our thanks, to the members who have contributed articles for the magazine. We had thought it would be an occasional or quarterly publication but, thanks to our members, we have enough material to produce a monthly magazine.
This month we have been looking in particular at emigration and you can read stories about how ancestors of FTF members left their homes for the New World. There is also an article about the movement of Germanic speaking people across the world.
We also begin a new series this month about the occupations of our ancestors, coordinated by Georgette. We begin with agricultural labourers or ag labs, as we have come to know and love them. It's a very rare tree that doesn't have a few ag labs.
If you have any interesting stories about your ancestors please contact the team, although we often have themes there is always room for articles about anything to do with Family History.
I was very pleased when Caroline asked me if I would write this month's introduction because it gives me the opportunity to thank both Caroline and Velma for all the hours they work putting together the magazine. Those of us who help out on the fringes know that our excellent magazine is very much the fruit of their labours. Guinevere
February 2008 ~ Crime
|"Have any of you got any interesting stories about criminals, or family members who were the victims of crime?" This question, posted by quiffdo last September, launched the idea for the theme of this issue. Once again the members came up trumps with a wide variety of nefarious ancestors lurking in the branches of their trees.
Backing up this month's theme is the launch of a new initiative. Each month we will be running a thread on the research board, based on each issue's theme, to assist members in researching similar stories in their own trees, drawing particular attention to the resources to be found in the wiki.
March 2008 ~ Mothering Sunday and Adoption
|With Mothering Sunday falling this week, we decided to celebrate women in this issue and we have articles about three very special women. The girls who went into domestic service would often only see their families on this day of the year so this month's feature article focuses on the life of a domestic servant. In addition we have four very moving stories which describe different experiences of adoption.
April 2008 ~ Maritime
|This month commemorates the 96th anniversary of the sinking of the ocean liner the 'Titanic', with the loss of around 1500 lives. Velma Dinkley has written about the ship and the disaster, as well as looking into the life of the captain, Edward J Smith and providing a guide to tracing ancestors who were on board. Alongside the articles, we take a brief look at various seafaring occupations.
We have seven stories from FTF members who have researched their seafaring ancestors, which make fascinating reading. We hope that these have inspired you to trace yours.
If you have any questions, then please join in with the discussion on the Maritime Special thread on the Research board.
May 2008 ~ A Nation of Shopkeepers
|"L'Angleterre est une nation de boutiquiers." ~ Napoleon
The May issue of FTF Magazine looks at member's shop keeping and business owning ancestors. In addition, Muggins in Sussex describes the occupation and liberation of Jersey.
The vast majority of images in this issue have been donated by FTF members and the magazine team would like to take this opportunity to thank all those contributors, as well as the authors of the articles, whose efforts all go to make the magazine a great success!
In this issue, we also take a look at member's 'Family Treasures' - possessions passed down through the generations into the hands of a keen family history researcher! Three members tell us the stories behind their family heirlooms. More of these stories will follow in next month's issue.
June 2008 ~ Smiths
|We lead this issue with our new 'My Town' feature. Rosie Knees has written about her home town of Newark, which has a fascinating history right back to Roman times. Everyone is welcome to write about their town for a future issue, as well as setting up a page about it in The Wiki.
We also continue the family treasures theme. Sue from Southend and Joan of Archives tell us about the stories behind their particular family heirlooms. For the Occupations Section we look at the largely forgotten craft of the wheelwright and blacksmith, who both played an important role in keeping the population moving before the coming of the railways and the era of motorised transport. Velma Dinkley and jemima puddleduck write about their wheelwright and blacksmith ancestors, whilst Caroline shares her discoveries, gleaned from newspapers, about her great x2 uncle who owned a horse and carriage repository, and Lynn The Forest Fan tells us about her research into her 'Smith' ancestors.
We also have articles from kathsgirl.48, who shares with us her emotional story about how she reunited a family, from Guinevere who explains how she found a new living relative, and from Delightful Dukkie who continues her story about German migration, which she began in the January issue.
July 2008 ~ Religion
|Welcome to the July issue of FTF Magazine, which has been inspired by Family Tree Forum's Places of Worship (PoW) Project. Our members have been working hard collecting images of churches, chapels, synagogues, citadels etc, from all over the country, some of which are included in this issue. There are presently over 5500 images in the project, which is an excellent achievement - well done to all concerned! However, there's still plenty of work to do, especially now the project has expanded to include Scotland. If you would like to help, then please take a look at the Regional Co-ordinator boards, as well as the Places of Worship Project pages in The Wiki.
In this issue, Georgette takes a look at church related occupations and members share the stories of clergymen found in their trees.
The gathering of photographs for the PoW Project was never going to be an easy task, and some members have had more than their fair share of mishaps trying to obtain the 'perfect shot', as Liz from Lancs found out on her recent thread on the subject. She brings us a humorous article based on her findings. Whilst the church provides us with the records of baptisms, marriages and burials, which are particularly useful before Civil Registration, Guinevere and Olde Crone Holden examine the other types of written records which can be helpful in family history research.
Continuing the 'My Kind of Town' and the 'Family Treasures' features, Yummy Mummy of 2 tells us about her home city Peterborough, and Caroline shares the stories behind her family heirlooms.
However, we lead this issue with the story of Katarzyna's parents-in-law, Stanislaw and Anastazja, who were both captured as prisoners of war in Poland in 1939 and transported to the horrors of the Russian gulags. In 1941, after the Germans invaded the Soviet Union and the Russians became the Poles' allies, they were both released to trek to Kazakhstan to join the recently formed General Anders' Polish Army, for which Stanislaw fought in the North African and Italian Campaigns, most notably at Monte Cassino. They married in Egypt in 1945, and unable to return to the free Poland for which they had fought, they came and made their home in Britian. It's a fascinating and heart-wrenching story and we feel privileged that Katarzyna chose to share their story with FTF Magazine readers.

The killer was named as Nordine Amrani, 33, a known criminal and gun-lover who launched his rampage for reasons that police were still trying to fathom.
They stressed that Amrani had no known links to terrorism or any history of mental illness or violent crime, but it did emerge that he was released on parole last year from a 58-month sentence for possessing a cache of weapons and 2,800 cannabis plants.
His victims were two teenage boys aged 15 and 17, a man aged 20 and a 75-year-old woman. A two-year-old girl later reportedly died of her wounds in hospital. The city's mayor said the teenagers were celebrating finishing their exams and were heading to the Christmas market when they were killed. Some 121 people were injured.

Why You Should Be Giving Your Dog Chew Treats Daily
Dog chews are pretty much a necessity when it comes to dog ownership. Dog chews come in a variety of forms and ingredients. They also provide many benefits to dogs of all breeds and sizes. Additionally, you will find that they thoroughly enjoy them and look forward to their daily all natural dog chews. Your dog will experience the following benefits from their dog chews.

Dog chews are recommended for dogs for the care of their teeth. Veterinarians say that an estimated 85% of dogs over age 4 have some form of periodontal disease. It can be difficult to brush your dog?s teeth on a daily basis, but things like antler chews can help. Antlers fo

I've been making use of the variant feature all over the place and I reckon it'll make things a lot easier for clients who just want to submit a quick order. Much as I like chatting with clients to figure out just what they want, most of the time they wind up going with the same 3 or 4 options.
I've also managed to finally open the listing for the Shoulder Pads. It's been on my To Do list since last Fall but I didn't have all the pieces together to really get the job done until recently. I might create a listing to order Shoulder Pads together with Shoulder Straps but there's so many options there I'm still working out how to merge the two.
I received a pretty big order of new hardware yesterday and I'm really pleased with it. I was already happy that per unit this supplier is vastly less expensive than Tandy. In addition that the product is noticeably higher quality. Even if the buckles weren't labeled as "solid brass" you can tell from the nice heft. I'll need to pay more attention to inventory management to make sure I don't run out of stock but I'm really enjoying pecking a bit higher on the supply ladder.
As I mentioned earlier, I've had a full docket of orders this week. Four straps and a pair of pouches. One of the straps is still WIP while I procure a special order buckle for it but the other three and the pouches are already in the mail. One of these was a twin to the LEGENDARY strap I made last year (the client acquired another card crate and wanted a matching strap for it) so that was pretty satisfying to work on.
Still more to come but I figured I'd better post a blurb before it got too far along.

Just to see if it would give me better results, I typed in "Peter Hamm gun control" and was rewarded with a page of results that do all pertain to the Peter Hamm gun owners know and love. On that page, though, this blog is the number one result. That is, the last post that mentioned Peter Hamm is the number one result--that would be the post from December 2nd of last year. They say tragedy pimpin' ain't easy, and certainly the business is cyclical, but I wonder if Peter is lying low or something.

One of my favorite dips as a child was fruit dip, not only because I could eat it along with fruit, but because it was so quick and easy to make.
Made with only two main ingredients, and a side of any fruit or cookie of your choice, this dip will please anyone.
- 17 oz container Marshmallow Fluff
- 18 oz container of cream cheese
(For Strawberry flavored dip, use strawberry cream cheese. And my other tip: have fun and add strawberry chunks to the mixture Mmmm!!!)
- Fruits of your choice for dipping
- Optional: 1 cup of Cool Whip
- Allow the cream cheese to sit out for 10 minutes to soften. This is my personal preference, but not mandatory
- Place the marshmallow fluff, cream cheese and cool whip (optional) into a bowl
- Using a fork, an electric or handheld mixer, beat the ingredients together until smooth
- Optional: To be even more creative, add flavored extracts such as raspberry, orange, vanilla ect…slowly add to your tasting.
- Spread on, or dip with your favorite fruit
This is even great with graham crackers, animal crackers, Pizzelles and Nilla wafers. Even have kids dip their favorite Teddy Grahams for an easy accessible afternoon snack.
Dip can be prepared two days ahead, set in a Tupperware covered dish, and placed in refrigerator. Left overs are good for 7 days but should be covered and stored in refrigerator.

Joan Lee, wife of Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee, passed away today at the age of 93. Lee suffered a stroke earlier this week, after which she was hospitalized. She died this morning, surrounded by family.
Joan Lee married Stan Lee on December 5, 1947. The two met as the result of a blind date. After moving to the United States from England, Joan, then a hat model, met Stan, then a struggling writer, when a friend set Stan up on a date with a friend of Joan's. When Stan went to meet his date, it was Joan who showed up at the door instead of his intended date. Stan took Joan out to lunch. The couple were married for 69 years.
RELATED: Stan Lee Reveals How Marvel Used to Troll DC Comics
Stan Lee is a comic book writer famous for creating, alongside numerous artist collaborators, many of Marvel Comics' most popular superheroes. Lee frequently appears in the movie adaptations of these comic book franchises; his cameos having become a staple of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Lee has credited Joan with helping him create the Fantastic Four team right before he planned on quitting Marvel Comics. Joan reportedly convinced Stan to write a comic he was proud of before leaving the publisher. That comic ended up being Fantastic Four, the characters of which endure in comic and movie form to this day.

An LED, also known as a light emitting diode, can be made to blink. Not only can the LED be made to blink manually, but it can also be made to blink by itself. Regardless of the method you choose to make your LED blink, you will need other electronic components to make the LED blink. For simple designs, all you will need is a manual switch.
Connect a toggle switch in parallel with your LED. Connect the anode of the LED to the switch's left connection terminal then connect the cathode of the LED to the switch's right connection terminal. Remember a toggle switch is controlled by a push button. When the button is pushed, a metal wire is either removed or placed across the two terminal connections of the switch.
Calculate the limiting resistor value for the LED. Assume that the LED you are using requires 2 Volts across it to light it, and that the electrical current to light the LED brightly is 30 milliamperes (remember one thousand milliamperes is equal to one ampere). Also consider that you will use a 5 Volt battery to power your LED blinking circuit. Now subtract the battery voltage from the required LED voltage to obtain 3. Now divide this result, 3, by the LED current required. Since 3 divided by 0.03 is 100, the resistor value you will need is 100 ohms.
Video of the Day
Connect the parallel switch / LED arrangement constructed in the first step in series with your battery and the current limiting resistor. First connect the positive terminal of your battery to one end of the 100 ohm resistor. Next connect the other end of the 100 ohm resistor to the parallel switch / LED arrangement. Connect the resistor such it connects to the anode of the LED lead. Now connect the other lead of the parallel switch / LED arrangement to the negative terminal of the power supply.
Test your circuit. Turn on your battery and press the toggle switch. Repeatedly press the toggle switch and notice that each time you press the toggle switch the LED will blink on or off.

Indicator 6.2.1 – Sanitation and hygiene
6.2.1 Proportion of population using safely managed sanitation services, including a handwashing facility with soap and water
Target 6.2 seeks to achieve access for all to sanitation and hygiene – this page explains why and how to monitor progress towards the target, and what resources that are available for countries to do so.
Indicator 6.2.1 builds on the MDG indicator – "proportion of population using an improved sanitation facility" – and incorporates aspects of accessibility and acceptability and safety, to further address the normative criteria of the human right to water. To ensure public health beyond the household level, this indicator incorporates the safe management of faecal waste along the entire sanitation chain, from containment to treatment.

The vast majority of service firms in both developed and developing countries are microenterprises, operated by well-educated women. The sector is considered well-suited to women as they need relatively little capital and can manage their companies from a home base.
