A One Stop Shop for Family Law in Australia
Online Pubisher of Family Law Legal Information in Australia
An Application for Divorce in Australia does not have to be physically filed in Court or posted to the Court for filing. In Australia, you can do your own Divorce Application and file your Application for Divorce online over the internet, saving time & money.
There is a usual procedure that everyone must follow to get a divorce in Australia.
A checklist of each step you will need to follow to get divorced in Australia is:
If you do not correctly follow all of the procedural steps listed above, the court may not grant the divorce and may adjourn your Divorce Application to another date to give you time to carry out any necessary steps you have not done.
Otherwise you can obtain the Application for Divorce Kit from the Family Law Courts website here or here for Western Australian applicants.
The Divorce Service Kit from the Family Law Court's website can be accessed here together with a YouTube video explaining serving divorce papers.
Courts do not consider all issues when granting a divorce. The Court will not look at issues of property settlement at all and only ask questions about child support and parenting arrangements in a very brief manner. The issues the Court looks when considering your Application for Divorce at fully explained in our fact sheet What things will a Court want to know to grant a Divorce.
How much your Divorce will cost you and how long it will take to get divorced are important questions you need to know the answer to. We also have a fact sheet explaining How much will a Divorce cost and how long does it take.
You can read information in our fact sheet on What you need to do to be able to apply for a Divorce including information about the requirements to apply, overseas marriages, separations under the same roof and how periods of reconciliation are treated.
If you have been married for less than two years (including the period you have been separated) the court has additional requirements which are detailed in our fact sheet Divorce for Marriages under 2 years duration.
Especially if you are representing yourself you should be prepared for what will happen in Court on the day of your Divorce hearing. Read more in our fact sheet What happens at the Divorce Hearing.
Dealing with the most important issues surrounding your children, finances and property can leave you to overlook some very important legal issues which could affect your children and family. You should also know what is set out in our fact sheet How does Divorce affect your Will, Superannuation, Life Insurance and family after death.

Best Western Premier Hotel Slon
Top Wellness Hotel
Slovenska 34, Ljubljana
0.1 mi from
The deluxe room was a nice size with modern facilities and amenities. The hotel's restaurant was wonderful. The location of the hotel was superb - walking distances to the top sites and restaurants.
Very convenient location for the Old Town. A bit pricey. Quite a small room for the price.
Ideal stay for a visit to the city center. The staff was fantastic.
Good location in the center of city Ljubljana, nice view from the room. Willignes of the staff at the reception could be better.
Wide range of options for breakfast and convenient/central location Rooms were a little dated.
Great location and retains its charm. Excellent breakfast. Very good restaurant.
location closed restoran
location, city canter
good quality service
Staff had a good hospitality and support. They tried to find local taxi for my cave viiting.
Friendly staff. Small room.
WiFi Internet access from the room (even though it wasn't free it was pretty cheap) Location is very convenient
Location is great. Staff was helpful. Too small. No place to even set you case in bathroom. No soap tray.i n shower. They charge extra for AC. It felt more like a youth hostel rather than a fairly expensive hotel.
The rooms were enormous and newly renovated. There was AC and good wifi. Most of all the location is amazing, within walking distance of all of Ljubljana's main attractions. You have to walk a bit from the parking (7 or 8 minutes) with your luggage. The included breakfast was just alright.
I liked a lot the hotel location in the very center of the city. The room was rather small but very clean.
Nice hotel, no problems.
Location is excellent. Room is clean and comfortable (although not big).
Good location. Friendly staff. Modern up to date decoration and very clean rooms
The room was clean and tidy There was a feeling of hospitality at reception. I could not use a bath tub in the room.
Reception was fast, proffesional. Parking gargae below hotel (but blocked by parking cars outside) Bed, bathroom is all of cheap material. Hotel needs in general large renovation to bring hotel to level it pretents to be. Not that it is bad hotel but against price not good.
Attention to detail, although there was building work every effort was made to keep disruption to a minimum early start by the builders but I guess they have to do their job so no complaint really.
1.The location is very good. 2.The breakfast is excellent. 3.The staff is very helpfull.
close to city centre
Friendly people, nice food, lots to see A bit noisy at times with the building work at about 7.00 in the morning, but otherwise all good.
Everything is new and advanced there. I especially like the library on the ground floor!
this is an average 4 star hotel (not a 5 star as they say...) when I arrived, the TV was not working properly. After I anounced it at the reception, it was fixed but only the second day. The room temperature cannot be set individually (in my case I would have liked to set it a bit higher...), it is centrally controlled. The gym is very small, they shout not even say that they have a gym... I would rather rate this hotel as a 4 star, deffinitely not a 5 start hotel.
We enjoyed the room and especially the breakfast. Best ever!
central location
The buffet breakfast was amazing. Our hotel had an excellent view of the ljubljana castle and within walking distance to the preseren square and dragon bridge. The hotel was very clean and facilities were up to date. N/A
nothing special but I like it!
the room was fantastic.
The location was walking distance to the castle and you could take a bus downtown to avoid the driving hassle. Parking was free and view of the sea from our balcony/room was awesome.
Rooms are spacey with good decor and big TV. Bathroom is clean and large. Staff is helpful. Location is convenient, you can walk to city center in 10 minutes. Parking is not free, you have to pay another 17€ for parking. And it can only get 15 vehicles. You're lucky if you find a parking space.
Always nice to be greeted by name as one approaches the front desk. We've been there before, and I guess it was easy to tell who we were. Nice touch. Always a bit of a challenge jockeying a car near the front door. Not well laid out.
The location is good. Just a few blocks from the old town. Staff was very nice and helpful. Great room!
parking unavailability
walking distance to old town very small bathroom,toilet,shower area
Breafast and location Room size and features not worth the money
Location was ideal, within walking distance of the Triple Bridge. We came on a Friday evening and walked down to the Bridge. Awesome! Saturday there was a fair going on with lots of stuff to do. Hotel staff was gracious, helpful, polite, room was large and very clean, and comfortable. No complaints. No complaints!
Fantatic location. At the heart of the best part of city. Great, clean rooms. One of the best breakfast buffets of any hotel I've been to. Would not stay anywhere else if I was looking for a hotel. A receptionist at the best was a bit surely on arrival, the same receptionist the next day was incredibly helpful. Helped what would have left a slight bitter taste in the mouth about my stay.
We stayed at your hotel for 4 nights. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and accomidating! One of the bellmen even went out down the street to get a slice of pizza for us late at night when we came in after the resturants were closed! Everyone went out of their way to be helpful! It was an outstanding experience! I wish that a conversion plug from US to EU was available in suite for us to use.
The friendliness of the staff !!!! They should work on the quality of their Espresso coffee
Lovely staff, great facilities, no hidden charges. Lovely resteraunts (plural!). Unbelievable location, 5-10 minutes walk from just about everything, 60 seconds from the main area, Preseren Square, and 1 minute from the best resteraunts. Loved it. If there has to be something, I guess that we got a room at the back, so the view was more hotel rooms. Also, the Franciscan church rings the time throughout the night, could disturb light sleepers.
The reception staff really go out of their way to make sure your stay is enjoyable. Their professionalism and, not least, their fluency in 4 or 5 languages was truly impressive. They were genuinely concerned that everything in the room was ok, super-efficient at organising transport and recommending restaurants etc.(Any traveller within 100 miles of Ljubljana should visit the Sokol retaurant) Nothing to fault
Very nice and friendly staff,excellent location.
The staff at the front desk were AMAZING. They were friendly and helpful introducing us to the city, map, and recommending restaurants. The room was beautiful and the pool was great! So glad we stayed here. The breakfast was spectacular! So much to choose from. We loved our stay.
Superb location and loved the belle epoch character of the hotel - would definitely recommend! Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Hotel is in an excellent location, and the rooms were comfortable and of a good standard. The buffet breakfast was great.
We LOVED the breakfast and location and view off of balcony. Our booking with "getaroom" didn't come through in time, and the staff seemed a bit unsure about the whole time, and we had to call getaroom and get it settled, rather than them. Also, the pool was broken.
Nice location as very near to train station and old city. Almost i n center of both - 5 min walk each side. Only issue was that I was given twin bed rather than double which I had requested. Good thing that beds had castors so could push. Nice breakfast with hugh choices - typical European style. Street sign on road directing to hotel can be bit misleading (we took a round about).
Location to centre
The hotel was just OK, nothing special. The price was a little high for what they offered.
Excellent location and amenities. Very friendly staff. The single room was spacious and very well equiped. Unfortunately there is no restaurant in the hotel (there is in fact one, but for breakfast only). It is not a problem until it snows heavily and you dare not go out for lunch or dinner.
position services
Cleanless, amability of the staff, location venality (the spa center was close during my stay. they shoud announce me about that before booking, and/or propose a discount) Some installations, devices etc, didn't work proprely. However, after reclamation, the staff's reaction was very prompt
The reception staff were very friendly. It was slightly surprising that at this price the hotel did not have any central heating and the cleaning staff were not really around. The internet connection failed and no support staff were available during the week-end...
well I booked a room over the garni hotel, i had asked for twin beds exterior room , so they didnt have one room at the moment with all my needs, so I got an upgrade and sent to a hotel just next to it, wihich belong to the same chain, the grand union, so I cant say anything about the garnier, but i can say about the grand union, it is a really really good hotel, pool, sauna. big rooms, big bathroom, amazing breakfast, profesional staff, well everything, Nothing, the best 4 stars hotel i ever stayed, actually better then many 5 stars i ve stayed
Friendly atmosphere, good location close to the city center, quiet rooms
Location was ideal. Staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. Hotel decor and furnishing are very outdated. Would recommend the Hotel Lev for a few dollars more.
Good location, nice breakfast, clean towels - and the bathrobe!
Nice staff. Hotel located in the downtown. Parking have to be paid extra (19€ per day). Room + parking quiet expensive.
Very confortable room, very good location, friendly staff, brief everything was ok. I recommand this hotel to everybody who want to have a good stay in Ljubljana.
Easy internet connection
The rooms are spotless clean and there was free internet in the room which is very comfortable. The location is nearby the old city so no need for taxi drive etc. .. Can't say anything about the extra services or breakfast .. i had no time to enjoy it this time; maybe next time! I was in room 615 and the noise when the swimming pool was open was not really enjoyable
Very friendly and professional staff, clean room and great location
staff approach, internet in the price, hotel as it is and good location in the city no
A very pleasant hotel but disappointing breakfast.
its just great
location, very nice rooms, huge balcony (8 floor) with great views to old town. good breakfast
Very central location and good buffet breakfast Noisy air conditioner
Hotel location and, LAN internet service for free, swimming pool and sauna.
The hotel has been revamped in the previous few years. Its location is great, re the station and centre of town. My room was clean and comfortable I liked everything
There's free wifi in the hall and an hostel on the roof that makes rates even cheaper than they actually are! 3 stars clean hotel 5 minutes walk from the river, a perfect stay for a weekend.
Staff was very attencious and helpful. Surprisingly, they were even flexible, something rare in Europe nowadays. Definetly recomend, based on price/benefit ratio and on the spledid location. Bed is for short people only. I'm 1.90m tall (6 feet 2 inches) and had a hard time fitting my feet and head on the bed at the same time.
friendly staff Reception staff reserved an airport taxi for us, but we almost missed our plane because staff did not take into account the heavy rush hour traffic!
Only the location. Nicest employees, speak fluently (at least) on other language (english, spanish, french).
good location, close to city center small parking
Location, but I only stayed the one night just enough time to look around the town
its central location and value for money I am on a wheat free diet and breakfast was difficult!!!
Bathrooms were too small and shower stall was set up so that every time you took a shower the floor would get soaking wet. Not a smart choice in the way the bathroom was built.
very close to centre of town excellent location would stay again breakfast a bit limiting coffee was not great
beautiful decoration, style; very cute and excellent taste; very homy; very kind staff parking is very very far away; hotel street was in construction;
Very helpful staff. Great location at the centre of the old town. Comfortable beds, and loads of character. Definitely not your average international hotel, and all the better for it. Some rooms may be a bit small for an extended stay: ask when booking if this is a concern. Mind your head on the rafters in room 11!
Luxurious and attractive furnishings with plush cushions, chandeliers. Staff were very friendly and helpful with excellent English.I loved the location - the street outside was quiet but right in the medieval centre and the bells from the nearby church were audible but not too loud. Free Internet access on the computer from the landing outside our room was great too. Parking is a problem and you couldn't drive to the hotel to drop off bags. We did find some free parking within reasonable walking distance (along the river, ask the staff for advice) but still had to carry our bags. Also, despite being beautifully appointed, the room was quite small for the price.
Great Location. Very helpful reception who organised shuttle to collect from hotel to transfer back to airport. (Good "value" for money in a city that hotels in general are expensive!) Workmen relaying cobblestones outside the hotel started work (noisely!) very early on Saturday (7am)!! Sunday morning the Church Bells started early too!!! Breakfast was "okay" but not great!
Location, hotel staff and the rooms were simply excellent Not a single thing
not too many guests rooms were a bit too small
Location in old town--- cleanliness and design......breakfast area....... staff attention to detail 3 of 4 of us felt the beds were too hard
The hotel is right in the city center. Is an old but well refurbished building. Rooms are quite small. Breakfast was rather disappointing. Problems with parking places in that area; it has to be your lucky day in order to find a place for your car. Once you figured it out, the parking place is for free!!! Believe it or not!
Location on quiet/pedestrianised street in old town,; excellent varied buffet breakfast; friendly staff. Nothing
very nice , cosy and stylish small hotel with friendly staff and in very good location no parking due to its location (pedestrian zone) but you can find parking by the river most probably which is also free and not very far from the hotel.
Penthouse room was amazing !
Staff was very friendly - located in a beautiful place and walking distance to attractions museums cafe's etc. surrounded by great shops and restaurants - will defiantly be back
Reception staff were helpful even though they seem to have been placed in a cupboard. Room was very comfortable. Reception area not very visible. a minor point but the finish in the room was not always top quality, small bleach stains on carpets etc.
Exclusive, small hotel. Fabulous big room, with very comfortable, very large bed, big bath. Penthouse suite also has garden access, wood burning fireplace, candles. No car park, and in a pedestrianised area but was usually able to park for free on the street less than 5 mins away. The hotel can let cars into the street for (un)loading if needed.
Superb interior design; space & peace; a 'family' feeling to it; excellent breakfast. Our room (6?) had little drawer space for clothes; shower room might be better with more shelf space.
The rooms and decor were amazing! Food was great. Staff treated us like family, we will stay there everytime we go to Slovenia. The hotel has no parking. We had to park about 10 minutes away.
Great staff - very friendly and very helpful/accomodating! No soundproofing. Could hear everything in the room next door.
Beautiful hotel, great value. The rooms were amazing, and the staff was extremely helpful. We will stay at this hotel everytime we visit Lubijana. The lack of parking.
Excellent facilities and good breakfast
Almost perfect!!! Very beautiful and clean room, right in the center near the castle, very kind/young/perfectly English speaking staff, fantastic breakfast (large volume in an elegant room). Romantic big shower for 2 persons with soft new bathrobe! Not a big problem but the hotel just opened in Dec 2009, so still some works are going on, no room service, central area not accessible by car (but you can park for free if you walk 5 min).

Last Time Out
Career bests and event winners highlighted weekend action at the Duke Invitational last weekend (Sat-Sun., April 3-4). Senior thrower Sean Pruitt (Cato, Wis./Valders) won the discus for the second week in a row, joining senior Jeff Merrill (Lodi, Calif./Lodi), junior Carl Buchanon (South Bend, Ind./Clay) and sophomore Nicholas Neuman (Mokena, Ill./Lincoln-Way East) as the other event winners over the two-day invitational. The Wolverines' 4x400-meter relay team of junior David St. Amant (Livonia, Mich./Churchill), Buchanon, freshman Aaron Taylor (Rochester Hills, Mich./Adams) and sophomore Matthew Campbell (Rochester, Mich./Rochester) also took first, besting the competition by nearly three seconds.
On Friday (April 2), Neuman was one of three sprinters to shatter a career-best time. He took first in the 400-meter dash, crossing the finish line at 47.98, almost two full seconds ahead of his old career-best time of 49.69. Freshmen teammates Taylor and James Wade (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer) were right behind Neuman in second and third, respectively. St. Amant and Campbell were the others to set new personal records in the 200-meter dash; St. Amant took second (22.05), while Campbell finished third just one-hundredth of a second behind (22.06).
In the field, Pruitt continued the strong start to his outdoor season, placing in the same spots in three throwing events for the second week in a row. He won the discus and took second in both the shot put and hammer, just as he did last Saturday (March 27) at the Victor Lopez/Bayou Classic. [ MGoBlue.com Recap | Michigan Daily Recap ]
"The Dual" History
The rivalry on and inside the oval between Michigan and Ohio State began way back in May 1907. The two teams renewed the rivalry for the first time since 1993 on Jan. 19, 2008, and have spent the last two seasons alternating between Ann Arbor and Columbus, facing each other twice -- once during the Indoor season and once during the Outdoor season.
The rivals play for "The Dual" banner, a pendant which is split with the Maize and Blue of Michigan and the Scarlet and Gray of Ohio State. Per tradition, the winning team will take the banner on a victory lap around the oval.
The two teams earned a split last season, with both meets being decided by a total of 15 points. Ohio State took control of the banner during the indoor meet, 85-77. The Wolverines won it back during the outdoor meet with a 105-98 victory. In the history of "The Dual", Michigan is 20-5 (Indoor) and 28-10 (Outdoor) all-time against the Buckeyes.
The Last "Dual"
Ohio State won the first meeting this season, 92-70, back on Jan. 16 in Ann Arbor. Winners for the Wolverines included Buchanon in the 60-meter hurdles, senior Peter Christmas (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer) in the 3,000-meter run, senior John Kipf (Monroe, Mich./St. Mary's Catholic Central) in the high jump, junior Robert Peddlar (Kingston, Jamaica/Wolmer's Boys) in the triple jump and freshman Denard Robinson (Deerfield Beach, Fla./Deerfield Beach) in the 60-meter dash.
Buchanon tied a 17-year "The Dual" meet record in the 60-meter hurdles, taking first place with a time of 8.01. The same time was recorded back in 1993 by Tim McCrate (Ohio State). Kipf won the high jump for the third year in a row. [ Recap ]

The Wolverines did not send anyone to the NCAA Championships.
Welcome to the Hall
On Tuesday (March 30), head coach Fred LaPlante announced the U-M Men's Track and Field Hall of Fame class of 2010, which includes one former student-athlete from each decade, as well as a coach of the century. This year's selection of entries include: William Coe (1906), Harry Hawkins (1925-26), Robert Osgood (1935-37), Warren Breidenbach (1939-41), Milt Mead (1952-54), Ben McRae (1960-62), Kim Rowe (1971-74), Chris Brewster (1983-87), Trinity Townsend (1993-96) and former head coach Jack Harvey, who helmed the team from 1975-1999. This is the fifth year of inductions, following the 2006 inaugural class. [ Full Release ]
Road Warriors
Michigan will spend the majority of the outdoor season away from Ann Arbor. Its lone home meet will be the U-M Paddock Invitational from May 7-8. The Wolverines are on the road every other weekend.
Peddlar Wins Big Ten Long Jump
Peddlar became the sixth Michigan field athlete to win the Big Ten Indoor long jump crown last Saturday (Feb. 27). Peddlar improved on each of his first four jumps, finally hitting the winning mark during his fourth jump (7.32 meters) after falling behind early. He came into the meet tied with Korbin Smith (Ohio State) for the best mark in the conference but out-jumped the competition to give Michigan its first Big Ten title of the meet and earn the first of his career.
Heptathletes A Hit
At the Grand Valley State Big Meet (Feb. 12-13), junior Frank Shotwell (Medina, Ohio/Medina) led Michigan's group of heptathletes by finishing first with 5,476 points, exceeding the NCAA provisional qualifying standard for that event and earning first place points in five of the seven events. Shotwell now holds the top two heptathlon scores in Michigan track and field history (he set the record of 5,528 back in 2008).
Two of his teammates also scored top-five finishes, including sophomore Joe Strizich (San Francisco, Calif/St. Ignatius College Prep), who finished third (with fifth-best point total in school history: 5,051 pts.), and sophomore Kurt Reichenbach (Brighton, Mich./Pinckney Community), who took fourth.
Simon Says
The Wolverines have one addition for the outdoor season. Freshman Simon Wenet (Seattle, Wash./Seattle Academy) is a discus thrower who will provide depth to U-M's field events. Wenet was a four-year varsity letterwinner at Seattle Academy and recorded the third-farthest discus throw in school history at the 2009 Washington State Outdoor Meet (173-3 ft.). Welcome, Simon!
Former Athletes at Boston Indoor Games
Two former University of Michigan men's track athletes (and current volunteer assistant coaches) Nick Willis (2003-05) and Adam Harris (2006-09) competed at the Reebok Boston Indoor Games on Feb. 6. The meet was televised to a national audience on ESPN2.
Willis, a 2008 Silver Medalist for New Zealand in the 1,500-meter run, won the mile, while Harris, a three-time All-American and eight-time Big Ten Champion, finished eighth in the 60-meter dash. [ More Information ]
Michigan Inks Five for 2011

2010 Record Book and Yearbook!
Beginning with the 2009-10 academic year, the University of Michigan athletics department will no longer print media guides. U-M fans and media can still obtain all the information they're used to, only now it's available online. If you're looking for in-depth historical information, statistics, records, archives, etc., the Record Book is what you'll need and it was just added to MGoBlue.com.

Leaders of the Wolverines
Fred LaPlante is in his second season as head coach for the Michigan men's track and field team after 11 seasons as the associate head coach of the program. In his 12 seasons with the program, LaPlante's main focus has been the development of U-M's sprint and hurdle athletics. LaPlante has coached 17 Olympians, 28 individual national champions and 79 All-Americans in his 23 years of coaching.
Ron Warhurst is in his second season as associate head coach, but has been at Michigan for nearly 40 years. Working with mainly Michigan's distance athletes, Warhurst has been in charge of the cross country team for the last 36 years in Ann Arbor. He was the head coach for track and field from 2000-08, before yielding the reins to LaPlante prior to last season. Overall, Warhurst has spent 36 years with the Michigan track and field program and has coached 12 Olympians, 12 individual national champions, 44 track and field All-Americans, and 38 cross country All-Americans.
David Kaiser is in his sixth season working with Michigan's field and jump athletes. Kaiser has coached 27 All-Americans and 33 conference champions.
Home Of The Wolverines
During the Indoor season, the Wolverines compete inside the U-M Indoor Track Building, which has been in use for Michigan's men and women track & field teams since 1974.
Originally constructed as the Indoor Track and Tennis Building in 1974, the completion of the Varsity Tennis Center allowed for the removal of the tennis courts and the 1997 renovations. During these renovations, the U-M Indoor Track Building's six-lane track switched from a tartan-surface to Durathon-surface, and the pole vault, long jump and high jump pits were moved into the middle of the track.
Michigan hosts several indoor meets during the winter months, including the prestigious Red Simmons and Harold Silverston Invitationals, which draw top talent from the Big Ten Conference and Midwestern region, as well as the annual Jack Harvey Invitational, named after the long-time U-M men's track and field coach, who retired in 1999.
The U-M Indoor Track Building has hosted several Big Ten Conference Indoor Championships, including the men's meet in 1994 and the women's meet's in 2005, when the Wolverines won the title in front of their home crowd. In addition, the men's (1977, 1984 and 2004) and women's (1987 and 1995) conference championship meets have taken place at the U-M Indoor Track Building.
Up Next...
Michigan heads across Washtenaw County for the Eastern Michigan Invitational, beginning on Friday (April 16) in Ypsilanti, Mich. Competition on Friday is slated to begin at 5 p.m. and conclude on Saturday (April 17) at noon.

What could be the benefits of taekwondo for You?
Are the benefits of taekwondo worth all that effort?
After all why bother?
Isn't it easier to sit on the sofa and watch TV in the evenings?
On this page we tell you about how taekwondo benefits us.
As a family and as individuals.
Every single day of our lives.
We discuss the physical benefits of tkd. And taekwondo fitness.
And we explain how taekwondo can build your self esteem. And boost your self confidence.
physical benefits of taekwondo
The benefits of taekwondo to us as a family have been profound physically, mentally and socially. Taekwondo has helped us in ways we could never have imagined at the outset.
For us the physical benefits of tkd training were obvious within a few months.
'You all look well' friends kept saying.
'Are you using new skin products?'
'Have you lost weight?'
But....we weren't just looking good, we were feeling good!
Deb describes walking to work one morning a month or two after she started training
'.......I remember feeling much taller than before , my shoulders were light like the sky was lifting them up. My steps were springy. It was great! I was grinning like I'd won the lottery!......'What could be the physical benefits of tkd for you?
taekwondo fitness is fantastic!
Do you find exercise tough?
Do you plan to get fitter?
Do you start off enthusiastic? Join a gym or start classes? Then find it a real struggle to motivate yourself. Even though you know you should?
We were the same.
We found the gym boring. And never got there quite as often as we meant to!
Leah, our daughter, started taekwondo training. We watched her classes.
They looked fun.
So one day we joined in a adult class and gave taekwondo a try.
It was fun.
Great fun.
One of the benefits of taekwondo is that we have never enjoyed exercise so much!
Yes we were still out of puff. And sweaty.
But we were enjoying ourselves!
And now we are fitter than we have ever been!
We have taekwondo fitness!Find out here why taekwondo fitness is so great!
the challenge of taekwondo stretching
Can you touch your toes?
When we started taekwondo training Neil couldn't.
In fact, he was about as flexible as an ironing board!
One of the benefits of taekwondo training is improved flexibility. Stretching is an integral part of every training session. We have found taekwondo stretching tough but the results are great.
And....now we can all touch our toes!Taekwondo stretching. Are you up for the challenge?
taekwondo builds core strength
Do you have strong core muscles?
Do you know why core strength is important?
Put simply, your core muscles are important muscles that support your back, shoulders and pelvis. Good core strength leads to good posture (standing and sitting tall and upright). And helps to prevent and control back problems.
One of the benefits of taekwondo is that it strengthens your core muscles.
And here's some ideas for core strengthening exercises with a taekwondo twist.
taekwondo can help with building self confidence
Do you feel confident?
Would you like to be more confident in yourself?
Many sports are wonderful for improving fitness and physical strength and that's great but....
Does your sport help you with building self confidence?
Taekwondo does this for us.
From the very early days of training, we had to stand up in front of that class and perform a pattern or a few moves.
Neil remembers feeling sick with nerves and almost shaking, terrified that his mind would go blank.
Sometimes it did.
Sometimes it still does and he forgets the pattern.
We all do.
But the nurturing environment of our classes allowed our self confidence to build slowly but surely.
Week by week.
Training session by training session.
Having self confidence is a great thing in life.
And if you train as a family it's lovely to stand back and watch self confidence grow in your child!Could your self confidence do with a boost? Find out how taekwondo could help.
developing self esteem
What about self-esteem?
What do you think of yourself as a person?
Do you like yourself?
We have found that one of the surprise benefits of taekwondo is that we have come to like ourselves more.
Why is that good?
Well if you think good things about yourself you are likely to think good things about other people.
And about the world around you.
And you are good to be around.
The positive energy you give off spreads out to those around you. Like ripples on a pond.
And that's good for everyone.
Looking good, feeling good and gaining mental strength help you to think good things about yourself.
Great benefits of taekwondo!How could taekwondo help to boost your self esteem?
our taekwondo community
Do you like to exercise alone?
Or do you prefer team sports?
We used to exercise at the gym sometimes.
But after 2 years of going to the same gym. We hardly knew a soul.
It was a huge contrast when we started training in taekwondo.
The sense of community was clear to us from the very first class.
Everyone came up and shook hands with us and made us welcome. And they meant it. They made eye-contact and smiled. They made an effort to remember our names. The senior grades helped us with moves we found difficult.
And being part of a taekwondo community helped us enormously when we migrated to Australia.Discover here why our taekwondo community is important to us.
family taekwondo- have fun training as a family
Have you ever thought about exercising as a family?
We hadn't before. But now that we do we can't imagine life any other way.
We are lucky that our club runs some mixed classes where adults and children can train together.
It's funny that once we are training even though Leah is with us we are not Mum and Dad. Or husband and wife.
We are all just members of the class. Getting on with our taekwondo.
Enjoying the benefits of taekwondo together as a family.
We feel that it's a huge benefit to Leah that she sees family fitness as an ordinary routine thing. Part of normal life.
And we hope it sets good habits for her future
And when the going gets tough?
The tough get going!
And believe us the going will get tough.
So in case you were under any illusion we want you to know now
Taekwondo is not easy.
It's not meant to be easy
It's a constant challenge. And you can't enjoy the benefits of taekwondo without taking up this challenge.
And coming through the tough challenges of taekwondo makes you mentally stronger.
Mentally stronger to cope with the tough challenges that life brings.

Mumbai: Actor Naseerudin Shah teams up with his younger son Vivaan for the movie ' Mastaan'. This is the second time the two of them have appeared in a movie together. The first being ' 7 Khoon Maaf'. However they didn't share any screen space in the movie. Both of them are very versatile actors. At least that can be said for Naseeruddin Shah. The young actor is still finding his way into the industry. The movie 'Mastaan' however has a lot of critical dramatic scenes between the two of them. The budget for the movie is 20 crores and it will be set in the 1980s. The film will be directed by the first timer 'Rocky Khanna', whose demands were very simple. He said that he would only direct the film if Naseer and Vivaan would act in the movie. And luckily both of them did agree! Naseer will be playing the role of the gangster Karim Lala and Vivaan of young Haji Mastan.
Vivaan has started preparing for his role as Haji Mastan and he is reading up on the gangsters of that era. However, rumour says that he has been asked not to watch Amitabh Bachchan's role as a gangster in Deewar and even Ajay Devgn's role in ' Once Upon A Time In Mumbai', because the two actors have apparently taken aspiration for their roles from Haji Mastan. Producer Sunil Bohra said that when he read the script he was blown away by it! I hope that the audience has a similar opinion when they see the movie! There is so much gossip at the moment in B Town!
Mohit Chauhan is composing music for this movie! And don't we all absolutely love Mohit Chauhan's songs… One thing we as an audience can be sure of- that is even if the movie is not all that great, the music will be mind blowing! And don't we just LOVE songs in our movie. That is what Hindi cinema is made of!

Multiple conduits
Hi Guys,
Running some new wiring for a small home audio recording studio. When I was an audio engineer, we would never run an audio cable parallel to a electrical cable for fear of interference.
Im running a couple of electrical lines (12/2) flexible conduit and I need to run them parallel as well on the same beam in the basement. Its 2 different circuits one going to the basement shop and 1 going to the audio studio on the floor above.
They will run next to each other for about 14 ft.
Does anyone think this might cause any interference?
Is it ok to run to electrical lines parallel on the same beam?
One more thing. Is it ok to have 2 different circuits going into the same junctions box?
Thanks for your help,
thanks again In Phase......
The conduit is MC Lite Metal Clad Cable with green insulated.......but it says Aluminum armor.
Does that make a difference? Should I take it back?
thanks again...
You are OK.
thanks again for your help....
As to wires run inside grounded metal conduit or "shielded" wires, this keeps the "noise" inside the conduit or protects the wiring inside the conduit from outside "noise". This principal is called a "Faraday Cage".
More on that here...
The above is the same thing with "coax" cable. It has a "shield" around the inside wire to keep the "noise" out.
So far as running two different circuits into the same box, this can be a safety hazard for someone working on the wiring. They may turn off one circuit and think that power is off, yet power is still on for the second circuit.
In the past I have used tie bar breakers for this and placed a note in the breaker panel that these breakers were for two 120V circuits which both go to xx box. So if you turn off one circuit, you have to turn off the other at the same time. Safe.
Now I believe I read in the 2008 NEC that this is now required? That if you have 2 circuits to same box, then both breakers tie-bared. And if 3 circuits to same box, then 3 breakers tie-bared?
Well I have nothing better to do tonight, so thought I would go "code hunting" in my book...
Well I opened the 2008 NEC and I SWEAR it opened to the exact page I was looking for! What are the chances of that happening?
Anyway look at 210.4 (B) [New entry].
You're going to have to provide a section for that.
The only new thing for 08 I am aware of is in a MWBC all the hots must use a common trip breaker or tied to cause the same action.
In the past, anytime 2 circuits were on a common yoke of a device (split duplex recep) those circuits had to be tied together.
It is common to have multiple circuits in any given box. in residential it is not as common but in commercial, it is done all the time.
We both posted at the same time!
That is the section I was referring to.
it isn't a new section though. They altered the verbiage from the 2005 code.
it does not require all circuits that pass through a j-box to be on common trip breakers. It requires all hots of a MWBC to be on common trip breakers regardless where they run.
It seems the intention of that rule was as the following tutorial says...
"This rule prevents people from working on energized circuits they thought were disconnected."
(From: http://ecmweb.com/nec/electric_branch_circuits_part/
about 1/4th way down page.)
Where I have used tie-bar breakers especially is where you have say 4 switches in the same box (4 gang switch), and one or more switches are on separate circuits. I can just imagine someone needing to replace a switch, turning off the breaker for one of the switches, and assuming that power was off for all of the switches.
Billy Bob, your idea is noble, but is really impractical for anything other than a MWBC. What if you had a 6 gang switch box with five circuits in it? I don't know where to find a 5 breaker handle tie.
as inphase 277 states, your intent is noble but 277 is correct about the shared neutral. All folks performing electical work need to understand electricity to some degree. A non-contact voltage detector should be a minimum requirement for all. It would alert a person to a hot circuit BUT it does not indicate on a loaded neutral. That is where you are going to get hurt.
btw; the code does not seperate resi v. commerical/industrial for this section. it applies to all installations.
do you realize there is also a relatively new code section that requires a disconnect within or immediately outside a flourescent fixture (long tube type basically) and one of the reasons is to specifically not require all the lighting in the are to be turned off when servicing a single fixture? They want you to have light to work. Your install would turn off all lights in the area. Contrary to what another rule attempts to do.
There are line filters to keep noise out of the line. Some say these don't do a thing and other swear by it.
There cheap Chinese wall warts on the line they can throw a lot of interference into the system. I have had the oscilloscope on there and watched the interference change as I plugged in and out. The non UL rated ones seem to be real bad. UL ones rate much better.
If you want pure sine wave then a line filter would work.
My guess is that if you treat it like low voltage wiring and keep it way from other lines and only plug in the higher quality electronics then you would be fine.
By the way, some of the higher end surge suppressors also condition the line.

Picking on Pixar
November 25, 1998
Pixar Bull's Pen
by Rick Munarriz (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Purity pays. Here we have tiny Pixar teaming up with $60 billion market cap Disney (NYSE: DIS) to put out quality animated films. Think about it. Here is a company ultimately splitting profits 50-50 with the leader of family entertainment selling for less than three cents on the Disney dollar.
What do you get for those three pennies? Well you get the Disney merchandising magic as a theatrical release becomes a video release sensation complete with playthings, theme park promotion and, of course, seven years or so later, it starts all over again in Disney's way of rereleasing classics to a new generation. Sure, those other 97 cents could have gone to buy what's left -- a struggling ABC and a ton of Goofy debt -- but let's take a closer look at A Pixar's Life...
Today A Bug's Life is born. Theatrically at least. That Disney-Pixar magic has been working well before today's birthday. Since last April, Flik and Hopper, the two stars of the film, have been the feature attraction at Disney's largest theme park, Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World, Florida. They host a great 3-D attraction that, in two years, will be ported over to Disneyland's second park as well.
Leading toymaker Mattel (NYSE: MAT) has been selling movie toys for over a month now. This Friday McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) will roll out a promotion for the Flik flick that will feature character Happy Meal premiums -- at least 65 million of them -- as well as clip-on watches, which will be served until Christmas.
Why all this commotion? Disney feels the Pixar power. Since the blockbuster success of 1995's Toy Story, none of the three in-house Disney animated features have come close to topping Woody and Buzz's $350 million worldwide take at the box office. That is why Disney has in essence handed over the crucial holiday family feature slot to Pixar for the next few years as it sticks to summer releases for its own animated projects. Disney's expectations run so high that it has even bumped up the live-action I'll Be Home for Christmas out of a seasonal release date to make sure it does not get in the way of A Bug's Life.
I am sure Bill will note that Viacom (Amex: VIA), Universal Studios and Dreamworks all have family features lined up for the holidays, but, let's get real, are any of these going to displace Disney as the leader in family entertainment any time soon?
In the long run the tally at the multiplex will be small potatoes compared to the perpetual royalties that will be derived from video sales and theatrical re-releases coupled with Disney's merchandising savvy. That is why Toy Story, three years later, is still leaving Pixar as a profitable company. Three years! Can you imagine how Pixar's income statements will look three years from now when A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2 and a yet to be announced Y2K release kick in, in unison?
That's right, Toy Story 2. Disney is so high on Pixar that it is attempting what it has yet to try with its own classic features -- a sequel that goes beyond direct-to-video and onto the big screen. Then again, Toy Story is special in many ways. Just last month Disney unveiled Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin at the Magic Kingdom. This is the first post-Walt feature to be transformed into its own ride. Disney's movie studio theme park houses a Pizza Planet. The new DisneyQuest, the company's newest expansion vehicle, has Buzz Lightyear remote-controlled bumper cars. In January, the newest Walt Disney World resort, All Star Movies, opens -- complete with a Toy Story themed wing.
Disney knows that moviegoers have tired of the rehashed formulaic fare it is producing and is moving towards the jawdropping computer animation and clever storytelling that has won Pixar critical praise. That is why last year it reworked the deal to make sure that profits get split evenly after Disney recoups some initial marketing expenses.
Why would Disney concede so much just to extend the exclusive deal to encompass five films, more than quadrupling the payout to Pixar in the process and giving them equal billing? Pixar works. Since being purchased in 1986 by Steven Jobs (from George Lucas) the company has filled its mantel with Oscars and Gold Clio advertising awards. Pixar was the leader in computer animation long before it teamed up with Disney. It is light years from the competition and should remain so in the future. But why computers? Purists might cringe, but computer animation is substantially cheaper than traditional animation. Costing 30-40% less initially, it becomes even more of a bargain when the time for a sequel or computer game comes around; most of the character mannerisms, expressions, and motions have already been programmed.
But Disney is not low-tech. It has a computer animation department, and even without that, surely it could have found another fledgling studio willing to work for less. Here is where a little Disney history is in order. The company has traditionally burned bridges to its greatest minds. It happened with Walt's original animator, Ub Iwerks (who first drew Mickey Mouse). Post-Walt, the three brightest visionaries the company has had, Jeffrey Katzenberg, John Lasseter, and Tim Burton, have bolted. While the company eventually made nice with Burton, the olive branch, A Nightmare Before Christmas, was a masterpiece too dark for Disney. Katzenberg is gone and the bad blood will make reconciliation difficult. That leaves Lasseter, who directed Toy Story, and heads up Pixar's creative ranks.
Disney has done well transforming proven classic tales into animated wonderment, but Pixar is the pure purveyor of original animated content. Will Disney want to let this think tank get away? Ever? I doubt Disney would empower a company like this, to incorporate the very characters into the fabric of its theme park attractions, dining and lodging, only to walk away. And, if Disney does, fine. Buzz, how long will Pixar be around to collect the royalties that come around with every merchandise sale and Disney re-release? "To infinity and beyond!"
So Pixar can't lose. Buzz just told you why. It now has a cozy deal with Disney, yet it is Pixar with the upper hand. After all, would Disney want to mess up the chemistry and bid good-bye? With the inventive storylines that Big Brother Disney always tends to borrow? With the notion that Disney would fear having Lasseter and Pixar as a competitor the way it now has Katzenberg over at Dreamworks? With the thought that the next Woody and Buzz would go completely into Pixar's coffers? With Bill Barker now ready to bash something so pure with pellets so hollow?

Support from RRCNA
RRCNA supports the development of professional learning opportunities for Reading Recovery teachers, teacher leaders, and trainers.
Read more about
Ongoing professional development is at the heart of Reading Recovery's success and is specified in the standards and guidelines for the United States and Canada.
Reading Recovery Teachers
Reading Recovery teachers design and deliver daily lessons tailored to the specific needs of each individual child. They make moment-to-moment teaching decisions based on the evidence of each child's responses during the individual teaching sessions. Ongoing professional development enables teachers to design optimal learning opportunities for children with diverse needs and ensures that the hardest-to-teach children have the most-skilled teachers. Without ongoing learning and interaction with other professionals, the effectiveness of the intervention is likely to be compromised.
The ongoing learning of Reading Recovery teachers is supported in several ways. Trained teachers…
Reading Recovery teacher leaders teach children, train Reading Recovery teachers, and provide oversight for Reading Recovery implementation within the schools. To fulfill this complex role, teacher leaders engage in extended learning opportunities after the initial year of professional development. Ongoing professional development for teacher leaders is designed to ensure that they are knowledgeable about Reading Recovery teaching practice and theory and are able to facilitate teachers' growth and development. In addition, teacher leaders must be able to evaluate and communicate the effectiveness of the teaching, advocate for the intervention, explore related research, and provide guidance for implementation decisions in and across schools.
The ongoing learning of Reading Recovery teacher leaders is supported in several ways. Teacher leaders…
Reading Recovery trainers provide the organizing structures for Reading Recovery in the United States and Canada. They provide the initial and ongoing professional development for teacher leaders, support the implementations of Reading Recovery within their network of affiliated sites, develop new implementations, monitor and interpret student outcome data, review and conduct research, maintain the integrity of Reading Recovery within their network of sites, and advocate for Reading Recovery within their state or region.
In order to fulfill their complex responsibilities for the oversight of Reading Recovery, trainers are engaged in numerous professional development venues. Reading Recovery trainers…
We ensure that children who struggle in learning to read and write gain the skills for a literate and productive future.

In a hilarious misunderstanding, John Terry was asked to repeat evidence that he had been sent off four times in his career.
"Can you say, please, four times?" asked his QC, George Carter-Stephenson.
"Please, please, please, please," Terry responded.
Guffaws of laughter broke out around the courtroom at the misunderstanding, which was a result of the judge asking Terry to speak up.
The footballer appeared confused by response from the courtroom.
- John Terry trial: Chelsea captain used 'straightforward racial abuse'
- Ashley Cole says John Terry is 'inspiring' figure at Chelsea star's 'race abuse' trial

The Nikkei 225 average ended almost flat Thursday after fluctuating sharply on swings in the yen.
The key benchmark ended the day 9.20 points higher at 10,609.64. On Wednesday, the Nikkei tumbled 278.64 points.
The Topix rose 2.35 points to end at 890.46 after falling 18.11 points the previous day.
The TSE got off to a firm start as export-oriented stocks attracted buying after their sharp falls the previous day and a retreat in the yen's value.
The market lost momentum later due to accelerated buybacks of yen. The Nikkei sank deeply into negative territory, briefly dropping below 10,500 in the afternoon in line with a tumble in index futures before showing resilience toward the end of the session.
Investors' wariness over the yen's move has grown after a series of warnings against excessive weakness of the currency from senior officials in Japan and abroad, brokers said.
On the heels of remarks on the yen from senior Japanese leaders earlier this week, a high-ranking official in the Russian central bank reportedly said Wednesday that Japan is weakening the yen and that other countries may follow suit with their own currencies.
The Nikkei was pulled down sharply in early afternoon trading partly by arbitrage dealing to sell cash stocks and buy back index futures at the same time, which was prompted by the tumble in index futures, brokers said.
"Over the past two days, both foreign exchange and stock markets moved to remove a feeling of overheating in the near term," said Yutaka Miura, senior technical analyst at Mizuho Securities Co.
He said the Nikkei is unlikely to fall substantially further until early next week as hopes for the Bank of Japan's two-day policy meeting starting Monday are expected to support the market.
Despite gains in the key indexes, losers outnumbered winners 984 to 607 in the first section, while 100 issues were unchanged. Volume rose to 3.934 billion shares from Wednesday's 3.648 billion.
JGBs edge higher
Japanese government bonds rose Thursday as stock prices fell into minus territory briefly.
The lead March futures contract on 10-year JGBs gained 0.07 point from Wednesday to close at 144.38.
Turnover ballooned to 51,932 contracts from 43,539 contracts in the previous session.

$8.95 » Sometimes less is more. Especially, in this case, if the shrimp is good. Whole from head to shell and the dense, sweet flesh beneath it. The barest dusting of rice flour for guaranteed crunch after a turn in hot oil and the prudent use of salt and pepper.
At Red Maple (read the review), it's fried shrimp, the way it should be. Simply pick up a shrimp and bite in. You'll find the carapace of a shell has actually morphed into the consistency of a potato chip and the meat wonderfully tender.
Red Maple is at 3361 S. Redwood Road, West Valley City, 801-747-2888. Open M-Th, 11 a.m.-9:30 p.m.; F, 11 a.m.-10:30 p.m.; S, 10 a.m.-10:30 p.m.; Su, 10 a.m.-9 p.m.

The Sauv-duction
You pour. I splash. You swirl the glass. I swirl in turn. And so we dance.
Oh, hello. I didn't see you there. Because I am a glass of wine and I have no eyes. Ah, but you ask, how then do I speak, as I also have no tongue? Such are the mysteries of love, mon buveur.
Me? I am the Coordinates Dry Creek Cabernet Sauvignon, humbly at your service. You may call me CDCCS. Or perhaps just Coordy. Much easier, no? With my smooth, creamy layers of dark chocolate and tobacco, some say I am a rich wine - and yet, and yet... my heart, it feels poor. Poor in the ways of companionship. All the tannins in the world cannot fill the void in the heart, waiting to hold that special one, no?
But I say too much. Please forgive the maunderings of a lovesick clown. I must bid you good evening now. Unless... unless, perhaps... that look in your eye... Drink me, you fool! Drink me truly! Madly! Deeply!

Gig Alert: Asphalt Orchestra
Asphalt Orchestra
"Zomby Woof"
Playing Wednesday at plazas throughout Lincoln Center (Broadway from 61st St. and 65th St., U.W.S)
Get: Tickets (free) | Directions
Combining highfalutin musical tastes with a punk rock attitude, the mobile new music dance party known as the Asphalt Orchestra plays covers in way you've never heard them before. The band makes high-octane brass band arrangements of music ranging from Zappa and Bjork to Tyondai Braxton (who used to play with Battles) and Yoko Ono. What unites it all is a remarkable execution of weirdo meters and lightning-fast licks.
The musicality on display is not surprising when you consider that the members are culled from New York music-scene royalty, including jazz bandleader and trombonist Alan Ferber, Red Baraat leader and percussionist Sunny Jain, and Gutbucket composer and saxophonist Ken Thompson, who co-leads the ensemble.
On Wednesday evening at Lincoln Center, catch the group wandering the center's outdoor plazas as part of the free Out of Doors concert series.

FREN-469 Desire, Gender, and Lyric in Early Modern France
This course will study the development of lyric poetry from the age of the Italian genius Petrarch through the period of the great 16th-century French lyric verse–a period that established key themes, conventions, and psychological perspectives for modern poetry of the 19th and 20th centuries. In the context of the Renaissance world view and its related philosophical and literary traditions, we will examine how each poet defines his or her erotic, artistic, and/or cultural identity, and from it creates an original lyric speaking voice. Poets to be studied include Petrarch, Maurice Scève, Louise Labé, Joachim DuBellay, and Pierre de Ronsard. Cross-listed with the Comparative Literature Program. This course fulfills the upper-division pre-1800 literature requirement for the French major.
Credits: 3
Prerequisites: FREN 151 and 1 course between FREN 161-262, or FREN 250 and FREN 251, or instructor's permission

Question about a wall
4 Attachment(s)
We are starting on a basement remodel and were thinking about opening up the stairway downstairs. It's set up as a hallway with a door at the bottom, which I don't really like. When we were looking at contractors to do it for us, when I asked if it was a load bearing wall, I was told by one guy that he doesn't know and another one said probably not.
The I-beam goes across the ceiling on the wall side of the stairway. It has a pillar on that beam several feet from the doorway, and has a wall upstairs on top of it.
The wall I was looking at cutting out some of to make it a kind of banister, has a small dividing wall above it that goes up about 3-4' and seems like it's there to keep you from falling down the hole to the steps. It's rather flimsy, and will move a bit if too much force is put on it.
Just wondering if anyone has any opinions or if I should go with "probably not."
The one next to the furnace doesn't look load-bearing as the beam runs continuous above. The wall on the other side, however, looks a bit suspect from the pictures. I think I see joist end hangers, but it looks as though there is only one floor joist carrying all those joist ends. This leads me to believe that your wall is sharing the load. I would go with "probably" and leave that wall in place.
I wouldnt think any wall in the basement is load bearing.You allways double up the floor joists in a stair opening and the main beam carries everything.

Any real building contractor should have no problem figuring that out.
It's not Rocket Science. :wink:
I agree with AG ....
Strangely, they don't have building permits in this town unless you are breaking ground. The borough office told me to call the county office, who told me that it's the borough who does permits, and they do inspections, and they only do electric.
There's only 2 contracts in the area, and they are booked till next year at this time. When I asked a friend who is a realtor, she told me when they have issues that have to be fixed around here, they call in a "handy man." I called two of them she had the numbers for. I am not impressed, and am not going to deal with them. When I called the contractor that a co-worker's wife works for, I was told I was better off to DIY or wait a year, and as I've done framing and dry walling, and we're doing drycore and laminate for flooring, I just have to get an electrician.
Uhh...from the pictures it looks like the wall that you want to remove would definitely be a bearing wall as the upstairs pony wall is sitting directly n top of it.
Seems to me you would have about 12' to span with a flush or drop beam if you wanted to open up that wall any.
