Denny Industries, LLC is owned and managed by a Husband and Wife. The cabin has been furnished and decorated for the comfort of us and our visitors. My wife and I are professionals - RN and CPA. We have family members who own both permanent and vacation properties near our cabin.
We have kept our prices very reasonable and offer accommodations as good or better than other properties in our geographic area. Our visitors have consistently given our cabin top ratings and many return over and over. And we continue to maintain and upgrade our facilities.
I just wanted to say thank you for allowing us to use your cabin this weekend. It was absoulutely beautiful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there! We look forward to another stay in the future.
We had a great time at the cabin. Nothing fancy but very clean & neat. Unfortunately it rained every day so we did not get to enjoy the porch like we had hoped but the swing & rocking chairs were nice & relaxing. Got a little cold the last night & the heat kept cutting off but other than that a picture perfect stay. Thank you for sharing your place with us!!
We enjoyed our stay but it was not long enough. We enjoyed the rustic cabin feel and the quiet peaceful surroundings.
This is our 2nd visit to this cabin, and, just like the 1st time, we loved it. If you looking for pizzaaz and all the bells and whistles, this isn't for you. But, if you are looking for rustic peacefulness, this is the one!
Very clean and quiet. Beautiful view. The cabin had everything we needed and convenient location.
Ideal location for a retreat from the busyness of life. Beautiful views surround the home especially with the Fall colors. Peaceful, clean, comfortable. Directions were well written and necessary as the home is off the beaten path and may be hard to find at night. Just a short drive into town for dinner. Would return again.
Beautiful view, perfect accommodations, perfect location for a fall Blueridge Parkway/Boone get away! Thank You!
Very near Blue Ridge Parkway....equal distance from West Jefferson and Boone. A little remote but other families within earshot and several year-round residents. No through traffic in entire area which makes up several hundred acreas.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have a lot of old traffic citations that I am trying to get cleared up, but there are so many and amount to so much its been impossible to get them all paid to get my drivers license reinstated. Is there any way that I can get the debt reduced so that I can get my license back sooner? I owed about $7,000 but paid nearly $1700 so far. What can I do to get my license back?
You should hire an attorney to help you. But you may be able to do to get the out of warrant status and get on payment plans, get an abstract to clear the holds and then just make payments. If you have too many, you may have to deal with the DMV in a negligent operator hearing, but get an attorney to help.
No legal advice is given here. My responses to questions on Avvo are never intended as legal advice and must NOT be relied upon as if they were legal advice.

You can try going to the court where each ticket was issued and speak with a clerk to see if any of your tickets are eligible for a court date. If any are eligible then schedule a court date and speak with the judge. You may be able to still contest some tickets or get tickets reduced or request community service. There are other options too - best consult with a traffic ticket attorney.
The above answer is for general information only and is based on the information you posted. Every case is fact dependent, so to get a thorough analysis of your situation, you will need to consult face to face with an attorney licensed to practice in the jurisdiction where the incident took place.

|Food and Dining
|We had set seating with a time and group. Our table never had 4 extra places filled which made it seem less intimate for dining. Our waiters were great.....and the food was good. The service was too fast. We often did not get our cocktail until the middle of the meal, no matter how we tried to work that out.

Applying for benefits under President Barack Obama's health care overhaul could be as daunting as doing your taxes.
The government's draft application runs 15 pages for a three-person family. An outline of the online version has 21 steps, some with additional questions.
Seven months before the Oct. 1 start of enrollment season for millions of uninsured Americans, the idea that getting health insurance could be as easy as shopping online at Amazon or Travelocity is starting to look like wishful thinking.
At least three major federal agencies, including the IRS, will scrutinize your application. Checking your identity, income and citizenship is supposed to happen in real time, if you apply online.
That's just the first part of the process, which lets you know if you qualify for financial help. The government asks to see what you're making because Obama's Affordable Care Act is means-tested, with lower-income people getting the most generous help to pay premiums.
Once you're finished with the money part, actually picking a health plan will require additional steps, plus a basic understanding of insurance jargon.
And it's a mandate, not a suggestion. The law says virtually all Americans must carry health insurance starting next year, although most will just keep the coverage they now have through their jobs, Medicare or Medicaid.
Some are concerned that a lot of uninsured people will be overwhelmed and simply give up.
"This lengthy draft application will take a considerable amount of time to fill out and will be difficult for many people to be able to complete," said Ron Pollack, executive director of Families USA, an advocacy group supporting the health care law. "It does not get you to the selection of a plan."
"When you combine those two processes, it is enormously time consuming and complex," added Pollack. He's calling for the government to simplify the form and, more important, for an army of counselors to help uninsured people navigate the new system. It's unclear who would pay for these navigators.
This is just the beginning. The nightmare hasn't even begun yet.

By "reform" the Republican reactionaries mean they want to slash and burn the Medicare program.
Carol probably knows nothing about the history of REAL reforms which are always opposed by the Right, and always pioneered by the Left.
Rightwing Republicans OPPOSED Medicare back in the 1960s, when it was just being established during the time of th Lyndon Johnson administration.
Indeed, Ronald Reagan and his corporate sponsors ran TV ads depicting Medicare as a Communist plot, as a USSR-style program.
Rightwingers also opposed Social Security, the 8 hour day, and the reight to collective bargaining during he time of the FDR administation in the 1930s.
But the tide was agains the reactionaries during the 1930s & 1960s.
They couldn't stop those popular and progressive reforms, though they never rea;;u accepted them.
Now the stone age reactionaries hope to "reform" these reforms out of existence, or leave them totally eviscerated.
Same with the Voting Rights Act. Same with all the gains won by women.
In short, the American conservatives are not even just conservative anymore. They're FASCISTS.

The Associated Press released this today:
"Because of opposition to the health care law in some states, the federal government will run the new insurance markets in about half the states. And states that reject the law's Medicaid expansion will be left with large numbers of poor people uninsured.
"HHS estimates it will receive more than 4.3 million applications for financial assistance in 2014 with online applications accounting for about 80 percent of them."
Can some of us possibly be any more clueless about what's about to happen?
#873435 Mar 13, 2013
NBC NEWS - Ryan's budget again seeks changes to Medicare, namely by establishing an exchange of private plans (including traditional Medicare) from which seniors could choose, with the assistance of a premium support voucher. The plan would apply for those under the age of 54 a threshold one year younger than past Ryan proposals and also employ means-testing, in which wealthier seniors pay a higher share of their premiums.

UPDATE 1-U.S. oil drillers cut rigs for 4th week on weak crude-Baker Hughes
(Adds natgas and basin details in paragraphs 4 and 7)
By Scott DiSavino
Sept 25 (Reuters) - U.S. energy firms cut oil rigs for a fourth week in a row this week, data showed on Friday, a sign the continued weak prices were causing energy firms to reduce drilling plans.
Drillers removed four oil rigs in the week ended Sept. 25, bringing the total rig count down to 640, the lowest since July, after cutting a total of 31 rigs over the three prior weeks, oil services company Baker Hughes Inc said in its closely followed report.
That compared with 1,592 oil rigs in the same week a year ago and an all-time high of 1,609 in October 2014.
Combined with the reduction in natural gas rigs, total U.S. rigs were at a 12-year low. Natural gas rigs were down one this week to 197, up just one from its lowest level since at least 1987, according to the Baker Hughes data.
The reductions over the past few weeks have cut into the 47 oil rigs that energy firms added in July and August after some drillers followed through on plans to add rigs announced in May and June when U.S. crude futures averaged $60 a barrel.
U.S. oil futures this week however were averaging $45 a barrel for a third week in a row, near the lowest levels for the year on continued lackluster global demand and lingering oversupply concerns.
In the country's major shale basins, drillers this week cut three oil rigs in both the Permian in West Texas and eastern New Mexico and the Eagle Ford in South Texas and one in the Bakken in North Dakota and Montana. The Niobrara in Colorado and Wyoming remained unchanged. Continued...

MAYS LANDING — Antoinette Pelzer, 44, made strange faces, looked directly at media members and, at one point, laughed as she had her first hearing on murder charges in a Monday morning attack that killed two women visiting Atlantic City.
"I'm just trying to find out where's my public defender at," the Philadelphia woman arrested in a fatal knife attack on two Canadian tourists told the judge Tuesday afternoon during her first appearance.
Charges read in court indicated one of the women was attacked first with a 12-inch butcher knife as they walked along Pacific Avenue just a half-block from the hospital where they would later be pronounced dead. The second woman came to her aide. The victims — two Asian women ages 47 and 80 visiting from Scarborough, Ontario — were referred as only to in court as only Jane and Sally Doe.
Atlantic County Prosecutor Ted Housel, who presented the case to the judge himself, asked that the record be sealed and the women be referred to as Jane and Sally Doe until next of kin have been notified. The Canadian consulate is assisting with that, Housel told media outside the courtroom.
Superior Court Judge Michael Donio agreed to seal the names for 72 hours, at which time the office will either have released them, or they will have to come back to court for a possible extension.
According to the charges read in court "Jane Doe" was attacked first, and then "Sally Doe" tried to intervene and was stabbed multiple times. The pseudonyms caused some confusion in identifying which woman was older, since that was not given in the complaint.
An investigator indicated the younger woman fell during the attack. Once on the ground, Pelzer tried to grab her purse, the complaint said. When the woman wouldn't give up the bag, she was stabbed some more.
Atlantic City Police Officer Jacob Abbruscato was patrolling the area when he came upon the attack and pulled his weapon, arresting Pelzer. The officer intervened within 13 seconds, Housel said.
Both victims were taken to the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, where they later died of their injuries. An autopsy showed the 47-year-old woman bled to death from multiple sharp-force injuries, a release said. The 80-year-old died of a puncture to her heart.
"Both?" Pelzer asked the judge when he indicated two deaths, seemingly surprised by that news. She also said she believed she was charged with two crimes: "I don't know where these others come from."
Pelzer has been homeless since January and suffers from schizophrenia, an aunt told The Associated Press. Nadine King blamed Pelzer's illness for the attack, saying the woman has no criminal record.
During her court appearance, Pelzer showed at least some knowledge of the legal system, asking for a public defender and letting out a laugh when Donio asked her if she would be able to hire her own.
Defendants in Atlantic County typically do not have representation at a first appearance, but will indicate whether they can afford to hire an attorney or will need to apply for a public defender. A form has to be filled out, although Pelzer didn't know if she had done that. It was unclear how long she had been in Atlantic City.
"She's not from here or had anything to do with any of our social services," said Officer William Wenz, who works with the city's homeless.
Pelzer was not among the more than 180 people living on the city's streets that he has interviewed and cataloged.
Witnesses told police robbery appeared to be the motive for the attack on Pacific Avenue, near Michigan Avenue.
David Common, of the CBC news agency in Canda, said his country is curious about what happened, especially since it was so close to a hospital and on a rainy morning in tourist area. He said they believe the two women were mother and daughter and are from Scarborough's Asian community, but that had not been confirmed.
His sources believe family members are also in the United States, and that is why they have not been reached yet.
"We know this is a city in transition," Common said.
But is it a safe one?
"This could happen anywhere," Housel said outside the courtroom. "I go (to Atlantic City) and feel safe. My daughters go there and feel safe."
Donio set Pelzer's bail at $1.5 million full cash. She is charged with two counts of murder, along with robbery and weapons offenses. No future court dates have been set.
This is the third fatal attack on Atlantic City tourists in two years. The attack happened on the two-year anniversary of a fatal abduction from the Trump Taj Mahal parking garage. Martin Caballero was killed in that attack. Craig Arno and Jessica Kisby will be sentenced for murder and other charges Thursday.
On Sept. 18, 2011, a couple was carjacked from the same garage. Sunil Rattu, 28, was killed in that attack. His girlfriend was wounded.

Artists have been drawing the human figure for centuries, from carefully composed life drawings to people caught unaware at leisure or work. This exhibition brings together some of the finest drawings in the Arts Council Collection with loans from the British Council Collection. It begins in the early twentieth century with Gwen John's delicate lines, the intricate patterns of Harold Gilman and the precision of William Roberts. Mid-twentieth-century works include the whimsical lines of George Fullard and John Golding and the bold markings of Frank Auerbach and John Bratby. The story is brought up to the present with the imaginary figures of Charles Avery and Mimei Thompson.
Though there are sometimes surprising similarities across the decades, there is also a great diversity of techniques and approaches. The majority are drawn from observation, though some are from memory or imagination; some are unfinished studies while others are finished works in their own right. Perhaps some of the most surprising examples are those from very early on in artists' careers, such as a self-portrait by Richard Hamilton from 1938, the carefully drawn Mrs Ash Asleep by Howard Hodgkin, 1952 and Eduardo Paolozzi's Drawings from Rembrandt, 1945.
The tour opens at the Usher Gallery, Lincoln and will continue to Winchester, Knowsley, Kendal, Banbridge, Canterbury and Leamington Spa.

Albania Frees Communist
Published: July 8, 1995
TIRANA, Albania, July 7— Albania released its last Communist leader from prison today, apparently in an effort to strengthen European relations strained by accusations that his imprisonment was politically motivated.
The leader, Ramiz Alia, was jailed two years ago on charges of abuse of power. His release apparently resulted from Albania's unexpected acceptance last week into the Council of Europe, a 24-nation group whose goal is greater European unity. Several European politicians had accused the ruling Democratic Party of staging political trials.
Ten other former members of the once all-powerful Communist Politburo remain jailed. Fatos Nano, leader of the opposition Socialists, the heirs to the Communists, is also in jail; he is considered President Sali Berisha's most serious rival.

Chris Bundas –
Madonna is known for pushing the limits when it comes to her outfits. Usually it's the lack of material on the Material Girl that has people up in arms, but her latest fashion statement exposes nothing except her eyes, and that perhaps was going a little too far.
Since joining Instagram, Madonna has posted several controversial pictures from posing practically nude to showing off her armpit hair. The latest from the 55-year-old entertainer is a selfie on Instagram, wearing a black niqāb with the caption: "Its that kind of day! #unapologeticbitch."
I can't say I know what the hell Ms. Madge is trying to say with this picture. Was she just trying to be a bitch?
Considering this is a garment that represents a woman's choice to be faithful to her religion – and Madge sure doesn't seem like that kind of woman – the selfie seems to be taken in really poor taste.
Of course it's not the first time the Diva has toyed with cultural appropriation. She wore an Indian saree at the VH1 Fashion Awards and dressed up as a Japanese geisha in her 'Nothing Really Matters' music video.
What do you think of her latest outfit? Is it a fashion statement, or is it offensive?

My intention is just to learn what's allowed and not in terms of logo template item design. Is using the same design concept over and over (especially from other design) is okay?
Is the logo template category is meant to be that way? So the company that would buy the logo can have (by accident or not) similar logo design to other company? since it is sold as multiple download.
What's exactly the main purpose of Logo Template marketplace category in GraphicRiver?
I found an interesting article: http://www.logodesignlove.com/similar-original-logos and I saw this logo in GraphicRiver: http://graphicriver.net/item/binside-b-letter-logo/4715308
I wonder how's your opinion on this. I have a few logo file items in my portfolio as well. But sometimes I found this topic is really confusing and biased!

|HOW TO BUILD A REMARKABLE COMPANY (aka: How Not to Be Boring)
|Date: March 03, 2010
|Location:Santa Monica
|HOW TO BUILD A REMARKABLE COMPANY (aka: How Not to Be Boring). DealMaker. Don't be boring, be remarkable. Seems easy, right? It's not. Just think of how many Twitter and Facebook clones are clogging up the Intertubes. Being remarkable means taking risks, facing nay-sayers, and doing something that's never been done before - like Apple, Google and Virgin. What can we learn from those who dreamt big and turned figments of their imagination into businesses that have changed the world? At this special event, we're thinking out of the box, so you can too. * Startup DNA: How do you build a truly remarkable company? * Where does inspiration for "new" ideas come from? * How do you promote a new idea to a market that might not yet be defined? * Spreading the gospel: turning doubters into believers. * How to surround yourself with a winning team How did two guys who met at Stanford come up with an idea for a personal airplane that can be hauled behind a car like a SeaDoo? And... how'd they get design icons like IDEO to support them in their quest for disruption? Join us to find out! Join us to learn from the founders of ICON Aircraft for an inspiring conversation that will challenge you to go from 'Good' to Great and give you to tools and motivation to rise above the rest.

New York City Drone Film Festival (NYCDFF) 2017 Winners
Congratulations to the winners of the 2017 New York City Drone Film Festival (and to all of the folks who submitted)! I was unable to attend the film festival in person this year, but was honored to be on the jury and to see all of the submissions.

Encoding 360 video in 6K for uploading
TL;DR: Use ProRes, or command-line ffmpeg to get 6K into H.264 outside of standard level specs.
The problem with trying to encode and upload videos in 6K is that it's hard to encode 6K video using highly-compressed codecs that are upload friendly. H.264 is currently the standard video codec used to compress video for Internet sharing, and its highest performance level doesn't support video resolutions higher than 4K. Here are two possible solutions.Read More

How to migrate your old Oculus Rift application data to a new drive

Windows vs Mac performance, Adobe Media Encoder CC 2017
I've survived the first couple months of transition from a Mac-based workstation to a Windows-based one (still using a MacBook Pro as my main "life" computer, though). The NVIDIA GPU has been required for a lot of the work I'm doing in 360 and VR. The new machine features an overclocked 10-core i7 CPU and Titan X GPU, so it's very fast. But I was not so happy to see Adobe Media Encoder CC 2017 only using from 50-75% of my CPU. I seem to remember that AME used a higher % of available CPU resources on the Mac, but haven't done direct comparisons.
Happy holidays!
Fix: Adobe Premiere Pro CC plays clip previews too quickly
If Premiere Pro is playing clips back too quickly, check your Audio Hardware settings. If I set my Default audio input to "Microphone (Rift Audio)" (I have an Oculus Rift connected), playback is about twice too fast, and I can't get play it at normal speed. If I set Default Input back to "No Input", playback returns to 1x real time.
I hate this stuff.
Making a shortcut to a folder on a NAS box in Windows 10
Tonight I learned how to make a shortcut to a folder on a NAS box in Windows. Happy Christmas Eve!
mklink /d "c:\Users\echeng\Desktop\picturesnas" "\\freenas\medianas\pictures"
... will put a folder called "picturesnas" on my Desktop that points to the "pictures" folder in the "medianas" share on my FreeNAS box. I'm frankly incredulous that you can't just make shortcuts of this stuff from the normal user interface. I assume "ln-s" would also work in Windows Bash shell, but Windows-mounted network shares don't show up in bash, and I'd have to mount them again.
After you do this, you can stick that symlink "file" in any folder and then drag it to your Quick Access area.
You really can't make this stuff up.
What lens to use to photograph a full double rainbow

Autopano Giga's temporary folders are filling up my disks (and, a solution)
I recently went out and captured about 130 320-megapixel HDR 360 panoramas. Each panorama consists of about 4.25 GB of raw files from a Sony a7r II and takes nearly an hour to detect and render on a Windows machine running an 10-core Intel Core i7-6950X overclocked to 4.2Ghz and a Titan X GPU--about 5 days of continuous rendering (using Kolor Autopano Giga).
I'm willing to leave my machine on for 5 days to do this sort of rendering, especially when it's cold outside, as I'd have to run a heater in the room if I wasn't doing this sort of rendering, anyway (hah), but long rendering sessions like this require software that can essentially remain running continuously forever...Read More
$9 to triple your SD card read speeds (SDXC)
I have been collecting Lexar SDXC 2000x UHS-II/U3 SD cards, which claim to have read speeds "up to 300MB/s." These cards use an extra set of pins on the back to achieve such fast transfer speeds, but there's a catch: your cameras and card readers must be compatible with UHS-II in order to take advantage of the increased speeds. Without explicit compatibility, these cards perform no better than inexpensive SD cards.
Some high-end cameras, like the Sony A7R II, can't take advantage of fast SD cards. In this SD card speed test, the Sony never exceeds 35.27 MB/s, which means that cards like the Lexar 633x UHS-I/U3 SD card, which are less than half the cost, work just as well (and also support 4K video in Sony cameras like the A7R II and RX100 IV/V). This Lexar UHS-I/U3 card is starting to be hard to get, but Sony's equivalent card is a few dollars more and also works well.
I am currently on assignment in London capturing about 200GB a day in still images. Copying and backing up such large amounts of data is a huge pain, and the built-in SD card slot in my MacBook Pro was getting an average of around 45 MB/s when reading from the 2000x. Switching to the $8.95 Kingston Digital MobileLite G4 USB 3.0 card reader, which supports UHS-II cards, tripled my read speeds to 140 MB/s (2000x SD card) and 100 MB/s (1000x SD card). This turns 75 minutes of copying into 24 minutes—an amazing time savings for a $9 dongle!
The Lexar SD card reader that comes bundled with 2000x-speed cards is also supposed to be even faster, and the standalone Lexar SR2 card reader is supposed to be the fastest, but it's relatively bulky when used outside of the Lexar Workflow Hub, in which it was designed to dock.
If you're using fast media cards, make sure you have the right accessories to take advantage of them!

Trimming and editing H.264 MP4 video files without re-encoding
Simple video editing can be frustrating for content creators whom aren't familiar with the process, and even people who work with video every day can struggle to find the right tools to accomplish quick edits. One issue is that most video editors force video re-encoding upon export, which results in potentially-long render times as well as degradation in quality. Here's how to do simple editing without re-encoding your final video.Read More
The Accidental Conservationist
Seven years ago, I wrote a chapter for a book about eco-activism. It was during an incredible time in my life between spending 10 years chasing strange underwater stories, and a partial-return to tech. Ultimately, it was deemed that I was not "hardcore" enough of an eco-warrior; my chapter was silently struck after I was told that it needed to be "in some ways rewritten."Read More
Useful baby stuff
I've been asked a lot recently by friends for product recommendations for useful baby things (our son is now 18 months old). I remember how daunting it was to have a new baby on the way. A few friends dropped off literally truckloads of hand-me-down baby stuff, much of which were confounding collections of plastic tubes, cylinders, and funnels that were apparently supposed to connect in ways that might be useful.

As Venezuela racks up billions of dollars of arrears with importers that are fueling the worst shortages on record, one of the nation's top economists is questioning the government's decision to keep servicing its foreign bonds.
A "massive default on the country's import chain" is part of what has allowed the nation to keep paying its foreign bonds, Ricardo Hausmann, a former Venezuelan planning minister who is now director of the Center for International Development at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, said by phone from Boston. "I find the moral choice odd. Normally governments declare that they have an inability to pay way before this point."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Lizzie several times over the past few years. Lizzie is a very talented model with an incredibly quiet but also strong beauty about her. Her look and modeling always inspires the team I'm working with which is very important. She is very... professional, always shows up to set on time, and commits to the shoot 100%. As someone who has done a significant amount of modeling she understands what it takes to get results and the commitments needed on a shoot. I would highly recommend Lizzie for any gig." more less

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
If I owe back child support and my mother left everything to me is there anyway to avoid having a lien place on any property and money that was left to me.
I would retain the services of an estate planning attorney. The question you ask is far too complex to address in this small space. I often send people to W. Kevin Alter in the Houston area. I don't receive any money for this referral.
Please also consult an experienced family law attorney regarding the definition of net resources in the State of Texas. A judge can consider many things when considering child support.
You can certainly read the current TX Family Code which is available on-line. I'm sure that you are aware that your assets are discoverable in litigation.
Harris county family judges take a dim view of parents that attempt to hide their assets to avoid supporting their children. I strongly urge you to immediately hire legal counsel to assist you in making smart decisions that will avoid you spending money unwisely in the future.
If you put money or property in someone else's name then it belongs to them and you lose ownership of it. If you put it in a trust then again you are limited. If you put it in an IRA again there are limitations. I urge you to seek legal counsel before doing anything. There are pros and cons to any action you take. No competent attorney is going to make recommendations without first meeting with you in person and discussing your situation.Ask a similar question
The short answer is "no". A child support lien arises by operation of law and attaches to all property. I don't mean to be flip but if you get an inheritance it is an opportunity to take care of your court ordered obligation to pay child support. Why don't you use it to pay off the support so you don't have that worry hanging over your head? Child support never goes away and accrues at six percent interest.
Please be advised the posting of this answer does not create an attorney-client relationship. Karen L. Marvel and the Law Office of Arthur G. Augustine, as a condition of their employment, require a signed written employment agreement prior to formally establishing an attorney-client relationship with any person.Ask a similar question
Ms. Marvel is correct. I totally forgot to cover this aspect of c.s. in my answer -- the 6% interest accrues & gets huge over time. Plus, it ruins your credit. The past due child support will be taken out of your Social Security when you retire! It is not dischargeable at bankruptcy either. It is a debt that NEVER goes away.

The main index finished a punch-drunk 206.4, or 3.6 per cent, lower at 5537.5, after breaking through the psychologically important 5,700 and 5,600 barriers. The biggest push by far came from Wall Street, which plunged 200 points overnight. Hong Kong and Tokyo also did their bit to corrode confidence and when London opened its fate was sealed.
Profit-taking set in, buoyed by the feeling that the market had been overbought in recent times. A gloomy CBI survey on services gave further ammunition to the sellers and red became the colour of choice among City screens. The mid and small cap fared relatively better but were still nursing big losses. The FTSE 250 closed down 80.3 at 4821.4, while the Small Cap shed 25.5 to 2039.5.
Financials were caught in the eye of the storm as the recent outperformance whetted the profit- takers' appetite. Amvescap took the brunt of some heavy selling. Fears over its exposure to melting global markets took 41.5p off the shares, which closed at 452p.
HSBC suffered from the Hang Seng's weakness and a downgrade from Credit Lyonnais. The final deficit was 104p to 1,536p. Standard Chartered was also on the receiving end of the Hang Seng/ Credit Lyonnais double whammy and crashed 17p to 627p.
The domestic banks fared little better. Royal Bank of Scotland, down 57p to 856p continued its rotten run ahead of tomorrow's results. The market is worried about bad debts. Its neighbour Bank of Scotland fell 39p to 631p in sympathy.
Lloyds TSB, still hot favourite for a takeover of Barclays, lost over 6 per cent to 791p after house broker ABN Amro cut its 1999 profit forecast to pounds 2.9bn from pounds 2.95. Abbey National was also among the banks' casualties, losing 64p to 1,161p.
Only five Footsie members survived the bloodbath. Telewest excited investors with its growth prospects. The shares put on 2p to 133p. Takeover talk kept EMI afloat. The music group rose a harmonious 4.25p to 365.25p. Railtrack, up 17p to 1,680p; Marks & Spencer, up 3.25p to 415.25p; and National Power, up 2.5p to 518.5p, benefited from their traditional role as safe havens.
IT stocks had Wall Street to blame for their underperformance. The techies had led the US market's overnight slump and London dealers embarked on some copycat selling. Sema was the second largest faller in the Footsie, shedding over 9 per cent to 450p. Colt, the Footsie newcomer, also suffered, losing 48.5p to 743.5p.
Among the IT mid-cappers, CMG fell 117p to 1,385. Micro Focus did not help itself. The fast-growing group lost its chief executive and over 6 per cent to close at 117.5p.
Capita Group drove into a corner and triggered a slide in support services stocks. Rumour has it that it has lost the contract to provide would-be drivers with theory tests. The shares crashed over 8 per cent to 521p. Serco, down 70p to 950p, was hit by reflected gloom as the market fretted about margins in the competitive support market. Sector member AEA Technology was also down 8.1 per cent to 735p.
Hazlewood Foods was also guilty of spreading the selling disease. The convenience food producer disgusted analysts with weak interim numbers and was splattered all over the trading floor with a 7 per cent loss to 132.5p. Associated British Foods caught the bug, ending 57.5p down to 555.5p - Footsie's worst performer. The market fears that ABF's trading update on Friday may be difficult to digest.
Rexam wrapped itself into a mess. The paper group fell 13.5p to 182p as the market cast a gloomy eye on Monday's bid for the Swedish packaging group PLM.
The few risers in the mid cap had something odd about them. Lonrho, the mining giant, dug up a 6.4 per cent rise to 322p, but that was the correction of a bargain-price trade (at 302.5p) late on Monday. Similar story for Rank. The leisure group soared 11.5p to 226.5p, putting right a spaghetti- fingered deal the previous day.
Cortecs, one of the biotech strugglers, lost an unhealthy 56.6 per cent to 11.5p after warning of delays to its star products and the demise of its second senior executive in six months. Engineer Turnpyke, down a third to 5p, said tough export markets would slash profits.
Kenwood Appliances, the kettle and chip-frier maker, issued yet another profit warning and saw the shares burn over 15 per cent to 104p.
SEAQ VOLUME: 1.14 billion
CITY SITE Estates, a small Scottish property group, firmed 4p to 30.5p, after revealing that it had received a takeover approach. The market is betting that the new offer will top the 26p-a-share from City Site's managing director Louis Goodman. Mr Goodman, launched his pounds 4.4m bid to take the company private in November and now controls around 37 per cent of the shares.
MEMORY CORPORATION, unchanged at 25p yesterday, will be active today. The IT stock, listed on AIM, is expected to announce a pounds 3m contract with ICL. Memory, also traded on the European exchange Easdaq, will upgrade and streamline the memories of all ICL-made tills. The computerised equipment has been installed in supermarkets across Europe and Memory's engineers will tour the continent to replace their chips.

Social critique and comedy on Bruno Dumont's Cannes menu
By Julien Pretot
CANNES, France (Reuters) - French director Bruno Dumont, whose extravagant comedy "Ma Loute" (Slack Bay) premieres at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday, is once again using his beloved northern France to deliver a caustic social critique.
On France's northern coast during the Belle Epoque era leading up to World War One, a family of mussel harvesters prey on the rich who spend their holidays by the Cote d'Opale.
Among those rich are the Van Peteghem family - decadent, inbred and stupid.
A link is made between the two by the love story between Ma Loute, the elder son of the mussel-harvesters who also help the rich cross the bay -- eating a few of them in the process -- and the gender-fluid Billie van Peteghem.
The disappearance of several people is being investigated by two detectives, Laurel and Hardy style as Dumont instils comedy in his cinema after the dark "L'Humanite" and "The Life of Jesus".
While the mussel-harvesters and Billie are played by non-professional actors, the Van Peteghems are played by seasoned French actors including Academy Award winner Juliette Binoche.
"I had been wanting to stay within drama for a while but there I opened the floodgates and I realized that comedy is really close to drama, it's a substitute for drama. Comedy is like a scale that goes up and down," Dumont told a news conference.
The audience experiences the film as a carnival in northern France, where people cross-dress and mock the powerful. Continued...

But six months after moving to Paris, 30-year-old Charlie Winston has become a superstar in France.
Since January he has topped the French singles and album charts, outselling groups such as U2.
Legions of largely female fans copy his trademark style of hats, spats and waistcoats, he is a regular on prime-time TV and he is on course to become the year's biggest-selling music artist.
His debut album, Hobo, has sold more than 200,000 copies, earning him a platinum disc, and is being tipped to top Coldplay's Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends, which was last year's best-selling album.
Yet Winston, who grew up in his parents' Suffolk hotel before moving to London to study music at Brunel University 12 years ago, remains unknown in his homeland. Since graduating he has played hundreds of shows in tiny venues.
"I sold my home-made CDs for a tenner after each show and used the money to pay my band," he said. "And I paid the rent by writing music for London theatres like Sadler's Wells and The Almeida."
He also arranged brass and strings for orchestras and played bass for his singer-songwriter brother Tom Baxter.
Winston's first break came two years ago when he was babysitting for Peter Gabriel and left a CD. The former Genesis singer offered him a contract with his Real World record label.
But it was only when he moved to Paris last December that his career took off. French music fans were immediately taken by his theatrical shows - he body-pops, moonwalks, beat-boxes, does a routine with a mime artist and plays instruments such as the stylophone and hammered dulcimer - and quirky song titles such as My Life As A Duck.
His single Like A Hobo has become a jingle on nightly television show Le Grand Journal and is France's biggest selling single this year.
Winston was tired of the London music scene when he left the capital. "I wanted to get out of London because the music is driven so much by the latest trends, and I've never been interested in following fashion," he said. "I had been travelling around Europe and wanted to learn a language. My initial idea was to go to Spain but I met a friend in France who got me some gigs."
Winston says his elevation to stardom on the other side of the Channel has not surprised him. "I know it sounds really arrogant but I have been playing in France on and off for three years and I have seen people going crazy. "
He returns to London this month to release his first British single, but is not worried about it being a success. "I was in no rush to be a star overnight. My father had a hotel and then he went bankrupt, so I have seen how success can destroy you. If I never make it big in England it doesn't matter," he said.

Andrew Hall then scooped a catch to cover off the next ball.
Jacques Kallis took a single off the next over from Chaminda Vaas but was then caught behind for 86 off the first ball of Malinga's ninth over.
Makhaya Ntini then had his stumps scattered by a fast yorker as Malinga became the first bowler in one-day international history to take four wickets off successive balls.
Charl Langeveldt, who earlier took a career-best five for 39 as Sri Lanka limped to 209 all out, scrambled a single off Malinga before Robin Peterson edged a boundary to clinch a crucial win for South Africa.
The win relieved some of the pressure on South Africa, whose 83-run defeat against Australia in St Kitts Saturday meant they entered the Super Eight phase without any points.
It also ensured that South Africa would collect a 150,000-dollar bonus as the world's number one-ranked team as they cannot be topped by the April 1 cut-off for the International Cricket Councils championship ratings.
Off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan had appeared the only major obstacle to South Africa's win.
He ended a 95-run stand between captain Graeme Smith (59) and Kallis when he had Smith stumped by Kumar Sangakkara for 59 in his second over.
Muralitharan struck twice off successive balls in the second over of a second spell, and his eighth of the innings, when he took a return catch from Herschelle Gibbs and trapped Mark Boucher leg before.
The whole of the Sri Lankan team, and many in a small crowd, went up when the hat-trick ball to Justin Kemp was caught by Russel Arnold at short leg.
But umpire Daryl Harper gave Kemp not out and replays showed the ball went off Kemps pad. Muralitharan took three for 38.
Earlier Arnold (50) and Tillekeratne Dilshan (58) were mainly responsible for Sri Lanka making a respectable total. They put on 97 for the sixth wicket after their side slumped to 98 for five.
But after Dilshan was caught at third man off Makhaya Ntini, who took two for 26, Sri Lanka lost their last four wickets for one run, with Langeveldt taking three wickets in his final over all to attempted big hits.
Former prison warner Langeveldt, 32, took two wickets in a first spell of two for 22 in six overs.
He came on at a crucial time, replacing opening bowler Shaun Pollock, who was hit for 32 in his first four overs.
Following the example of Australia, who appeared to target Pollock, Sri Lankan opening batsman Upul Tharanga and Sanath Jayasuriya went for their shots against the South African veteran, who holds a big lead at the top of the ICC one-day bowling rankings.
Sri Lankan hopes were raised when left-arm opening bowler Chaminda Vaas bowled AB de Villiers for nought in the first over but Smith batted aggressively with solid support from Kallis as South Africa took control.
Smith hit seven fours and a six in his 65-ball innings before he was drawn down the pitch by a flighted ball from Muralitharan for Sangakkara to make a smart stumping.
Kallis was more sedate, pushing the ball into gaps and taking plenty of ones and twos and seemed on course to steer South Africa home before Malinga struck.
