The Kurds Are Betrayed Again
The Kurds have been betrayed and abandoned for 100 years by the United States, and Britain, who both talk freedom and human rights, use the Kurds for empire, then hand the them over to Turkey, Iraq, and Iran to be slaughtered.
Read about the actual history of U.S. and British involvement with the Kurds here.
This is not Democracy
This is not what Democracy looks like.
9.68% of eligible voters (31,604 of 326,364) participated in the NC 9th U.S. Congressional District Republican primary on Tuesday, a primary precipitated by the NCGOP Ballot Fraud by pastor Mark Harris' campaign in November.
Dan Bishop (R) of the 'Bathroom Bill' aka HB2, won Tuesday and will face Dan McCready (D) in a special election for North Carolina's 9th Congressional District on September 10th.
Elections in America is a game for the moneyed elites. Oligarchs control the process with their wealth, aided and abetted by the corporate MSM, corporate political parties, and a system of legal bribery.
9.68% turnout is not what Democracy looks like.
May 8, 2018
Primary Voter Turnout for Non-Presidential Years since 1990 in North Carolina averages a little more than 17%. This year's turnout was 14.35%. Not a very participatory democracy by any stretch of the imagination. This is my polling place that day (I was the only person inside the poll voting @ midday, 2pm or so).
Isn't it hard to imagine illegals voting when 85% of the legals don't? Certainly is for me. The claim of voter fraud is one large unsubstantiated lie perpetrated by politicians to suppress votes.
What does 14.53% turnout tell us?
The poll in the photo above is in the 4th Congressional District of North Carolina, a heavily gerrymandered Democrat district. David Price (D), the incumbent, has been in office for 14 terms making him clearly part of the permanent political class. Price won the general election in 2016 with 68.2% of the vote.
The Mid-Terms of 2018 are 90 days away, Tuesday November 6th.
As dysfunctional voting systems exist and abound, voter suppression tactics expand, Special Counsel Robert Mueller continues with indictments of Russian hacking / social media fake outlets and bots, and multitudes of lawsuits by both political parties go undecided by the Courts, enjoy part II of the 'rigged' 2016 election cycle.

Atmospheric Tale
His Name's Larry….
Star Wars: A New Hope (1977)
George Lucas remade one of the finest works of film master Akira Kurosawa, the Western-themed "Hidden Fortress," with one scene (the fight in the bar) stolen from Yojimbo. Therefore, Star Wars has a bit of the jittery discomfort of characters trying to fit into a story that wasn't quite made for them, like people with past life experiences that intrude into the present. Kurosawa's hero is split not into two but three heroes in Star Wars (four if you include the princess, who has a more prominent role in Star Wars. It is frankly too bad that Star Wars later fell into the hands of Disney and JJ Abrams, becoming a tool solely for cashing in, and a line item on someone's accounting ledger, but I guess that is probably the way the wafer crumbles in Hollywood. I simply choose to ignore the boring new films… [Read more…]
One Of Her Biggest Hits
"She was biting her lip…"
Falconer (John Cheever)
So here then is John Cheever's great penal novel. Or should I say, penile novel. Yes, yes, the pun is too obvious to be anything but unfunny. But it's just shouting from the eaves to be thrust into the spotlight. This is primarily because one cannot turn a page without finding cocks, balls, erections, ejaculations, peckers, dicks, tumescences, foreskins, pissings, and yes, at least one anal intrusion by a phallic object. What would I expect, I suppose, from a prison novel? I've heard that song by Tool. I've seen Oz. I know what goes on there (or so I've heard). [Read more…]
Never Judge A Song By The Callow Youths Who Perform It
I have finally hunted down this version of the Cream's classic song from 1967. This version came out ten years later by an Irish band. I didn't want to inflict a video of them in front of your eyes because they all look 16, and the singer has a dildo inside his trousers. (Deep breath) Anyway, back to this track. It kicks Eric Clapton's effort out of the water, down the stairs & into the gutter. I am slightly creeped out by some of the backing though. I mean in a good way. There are strange sounds here that actually make me tingle and vibrate with anticipation…Oh, please!...don't laugh.
I Shot The Sheriff (Orchestra Montego)
This has a bit more of a raucous beat to it. I heard this version as a child and thought it would be easy to find on You Tube. Was I wrong. Ten years of searching later and I found it by chance. It helps if you know the artist's name. Possibly recorded in a shooting gallery.
Confessions From A Holiday Camp (1977 UK)
Twas the first day of August, a Monday I believe, when a momentous event in the annals of cinematic history took place. The Confessions film series bid a fond farewell to the public. Knickers down, trousers unzipped, so tawdry and gleefully smutty, on display for one final glorious outpouring. This was a franchise with a bigger box office than James Bond in England. Surely it had to give something worthwhile to the viewer? Apart from VD. [Read more…]

Halloween is an important holiday for Goodwill, and this fundraising event highlights the elegant and mysterious side of the season. I designed the logo for Goodwill's first Moonlight Masquerade which will be used every succeeding year. Along with the logo, I created an invitation that was mailed to select Goodwill donors. I also designed various signage scattered throughout the event with information about our silent auction and wine pull, how to add us on Snapchat, and a description of the handmade masks.
I've also included a few photos from the event, so you can see the logo and signage in action! Event photography was provided by Melissa Rich.

We have reached the final week of the regular season and there is still a lot in play, a few conference/division titles as well as some key matchup for seeding purposes. There wasn't a whole lot of moment in this week's CCCMBCA poll. The top 8 remained the same, with Citrus making a move into the top 10 after winning its division title.
Next week's poll will be the regional seedings. Matching seed ties will be broken using the Massey Rankings and conference/division finish.
State Poll
1. San Francisco City (24-1) — Winners of 10 straight, San Francisco is on the verge of winning its 14th Coast-North championship under head coach Justin Labagh. The Rams had its road contest at Foothill last week postponed and there has been no word on if the game will be played. So, the Rams begin the week with a 1 ½-game led on Las Positas. San Francisco is scheduled to host Chabot on Wednesday and then travel to Ohlone on Friday to close out the season.
2. Fullerton (24-2) — The Orange Empire Conference title appears headed to a Friday showdown with Saddleback in Mission Viejo. The Hornets begin the week tied with Saddleback. However, there is other work to attend to first, such as Copper Mountain on Wednesday. The Fightin' Cacti stopped Fullerton's 17-game win streak earlier this season.
3. Fresno City (23-3) — This should come as a shock. Fresno City won its state and national record 18th consecutive conference title last week. The Rams, winners of 14 straight games, is undefeated in conference. Fresno will close out the regular season hosting Merced and Reedley.
4. East Los Angeles (22-4) — If East Los Angeles is to win the South Coast-North title outright the Huskies will need to beat 4-22 Rio Hondo on Wednesday and then LA Trade Tech (17-8) on Friday. Both games are at home where the Huskies are 7-0.
5. Southwestern (22-4) — Southwestern can wrap up the Pacific Coast-South title with a win on Wednesday when Grossmont comes to town or on Friday at San Diego Mesa. The Jaguars hold a two-game lead on San Diego City. The crown will be Southwestern's first since 2015.
6. Gavilan (24-2) — Gavilan has clinched a share of the Coast-South title. A victory on Wednesday versus third-place West Valley or Friday at last-place San Jose or a Cabrillo lost would wrap up the division title.
7. San Bernardino Valley (21-5) — San Bernardino Valley has wrapped up the Pacific Coast-North title. The Wolverines, winners of 14 straight games, closes out the regular season at Mt. San Jacinto on Wednesday and then at home on Friday against MiraCosta.
8. San Joaquin Delta (22-5) — San Joaquin Delta wins its first Big 8 Conference title in 10 years. The Mustangs have won 14 straight and will close out the regular season on Friday at Sacramento City.
9. Citrus (20-6) — Citrus has easily captured the Western State-East title. The Owls, winners of nine straight, hold a four-game lead over three teams. Citrus concludes the season with a home game on Wednesday versus Antelope Valley and then a road game at Victor Valley on Friday.
10. Long Beach City (22-4) — The South Coast-South comes down to the final week of the season as the Vikings and Cerritos begin the week deadlocked. Long Beach closes out the season at El Camino (Wednesday) and at home versus LA Southwest (Friday). It will take a team stepping up to break this tie.
11. Cerritos (20-6) — The South Coast-South comes down to the final week of the season as the Falcons and Long Beach City begin the week deadlocked. Cerritos hosts LA Southwest on Wednesday and then travels to square off against LA Harbor. It will take a team stepping up to break this tie.
12. Yuba (23-4) — Yuba won its third straight Bay Valley Conference title, 11 of the last 12, and is currently riding a 12-game win streak. Finishes the season at Contra Costa on Wednesday.
13. Mt. San Jacinto (20-5) — Mt. San Jacinto faces another big week and test — hosting San Bernardino on Wednesday and then Desert on Friday. The Eagles are just a game ahead of San Diego Miramar for second place. Miramar finishes the week on the road at Desert and Palomar. So, realistically Mt. San Jacinto needs a sweep this week to maintain sole possession of second place. The Eagles and Miramar split their regular season games.
14. Las Positas (20-5) — Las Positas conclude the regular season on the road, visiting Skyline on Wednesday and then Canada on Friday. The Hawks trail San Francisco by 1 ½ games, so while they are mathematically a live, realistically Las Positas needs a win this week to secure second place.
15. Saddleback (18-8) — Winners of seven straight, Saddleback takes on fourth-place Riverside on Wednesday before taking a shot at Fullerton on Friday for what could be for the Orange Empire Conference title. Saddleback begins the week in a deadlock Fullerton. The Saddleback-Riverside meeting is the first between these two programs this season.
16. West Los Angeles (20-7) — West Los Angeles has clinched with Wester State-South division. In its only game this week, West LA hosts Canyons on Tuesday.
17. Chaffey (19-7) — Chaffey remains in the hunt for the division crown, but it would take a complete East LA meltdown for the Panthers to even capture a share of the division crown. Chaffey, this week, travels to LA Trade Tech, losers four straight, and then returns home to host Pasadena City, a team still fighting for a post-season berth.
18. Santa Rosa (19-7) — Santa Rosa will begin the week clinging to a ½-game lead on Cosumnes River for second place in the Big 8 Conference. The Cubs host Diablo Valley on Tuesday and then travel to Folsom Lake on Friday for its season finale. Santa Rosa would need a sweep this week to clinch second place. While every conference has different tiebreakers, Santa Rosa does have the worse lost — should the Cubs and Cosumnes River tie — after falling to Diablo Valley in their first meeting.
19. Cabrillo (19-6) — Cabrillo opens the week holding a one-game lead on third-place West Valley. While Cabrillo still has hopes of a share of the division crown we are sure the Seahawks on focused on beating Monterey on Wednesday, securing third place. Cabrillo closes out the season at West Valley, however, it doesn't appear second-place will be in play come Friday.
20. Columbia (20-6) — Columbia is in a dead heat with Sequoias for second place in the Central Valley Conference. This race could down to Saturday when Columbia hosts Sequoias. The Claim Jumpers also host four-place Porterville on Wednesday. The Claim Jumpers are 12-1 at home.
21. Sequoias (18-8) — Sequoias is at Cerro Coso on Wednesday where Giants head coach Rusty Smith will meet once again meet his former assistant. And there will be a lot at stake for Sequoias who begins the week deadlocked with Columbia for second place in the Central Valley Conference. The Giants close out the regular season at Columbia on Saturday.
22. Butte (14-11) — Butte has clinched a share of the Golden Valley Conference. The Roadrunners hold a 2 ½ -game lead over Lassen, which has three games remaining. So, a Lassen loss or a Butte victory wraps up the title for the Roadrunners. Butte has a home game on Wednesday versus Redwoods and then is at Lassen on Friday.
23. Ventura (16-10) — Ventura begins the week clinging to a one-game lead over Allan Hancock. The Pirates visit Cuesta on Wednesday and then returns home to host Moorpark. While Allan Hancock finishes at Santa Barbara and then home to Cuesta. Ventura figures to need a sweep this week if the Pirates want to win the title outright.
24. Canada (20-7) — Canada is one of eight northern teams to enter the week with 20 wins. Yet, Canada figures to finish in third place in the tough Coast-North division. Mathematically, Canada could still rundown Las Positas for a share of second place, but that appears unlikely. This week, the Colts meet Las Positas on Friday. Canada will be routing for Skyline on Wednesday (see Las Positas cap).
25. Santiago Canyon (18-8) — There is a lot of ways the season could end for Santiago Canyon. Wining the conference title isn't one of them. And finishing second is probably out of equation as well (although, mathematically, the Hawks begin the week eligible for both). The Hawks are two games behind Fullerton and Saddleback (and since neither can lose both games this week, the conference title is out). With all of that said, Santiago Canyon is only a game ahead of fourth-Place Riverside. This week, the Hawks are the road for their final two games — Cypress on Wednesday and Orange Coast on Friday.
25. Allan Hancock (21-5) — Allan Hancock avenged its previous loss to Ventura last week. And, by doing so, the Bulldogs kept their title hopes alive. Allan Hancock, which finishes at Santa Barbara and then home to Cuesta, needs either Cuesta or Moorpark to knock off Ventura this week, while taking care of its own business.
25. Los Medanos (17-9) — Currently riding a five-game win streak and a game lead on Merritt for second place in the Bay Valley Conference. Los Medanos travels to Napa on Wednesday and hosts Contra Costa on Friday.

Hello all!
I foster animals for my local animal shelter and usually its cats, dogs, guinea pigs...but they asked if I could foster a bearded dragon with MBD for a month to help him recover. So while I am submerged in learning all I can about beardies, I want to make sure he is improving and I can't seem to find any websites with signs that he is! He SEEMS like he is getting better...I've had him 10 days or so, I got him a ReptiSun light, his temperatures seem like they are in the proper range and I have Emeraid to feed him every other day (as prescribed by the vet) as well as calcium glubonate daily. He will eat mealworms (I know there are better choices, but that's all I can find at the moment...I'm working on it!) and SOMETIMES he will eat salad - I make him a little mix of endive, red peppers, carrots, apples, cucumbers...he mostly only eats the veggies if there happens to be a worm on them.
When he first came he was flat...they were calling him Flat Stanley...he was so pancake-y...he seems to hold his head up a lot more and sort of "swims" around his cage. I hope those are signs that maybe he is getting better!
Any advice or tips are greatly appreciated!!! TIA!!

Economic Fundamentals: Least Skilled Denied Right To Work
The government has just declared that anyone lacking the skills to produce at least $7.25 per hour for an employer has no right to work. How stupid.
The last thing anyone should want in a recession is barriers to employment. But that's what the government did by allowing an automatic increase in the minimum wage to take effect, raising it to $7.25 per hour. A higher minimum wage makes it harder for the least skilled to find employment simply because they aren't worth fully burdened cost.
Fully burdened? Don't forget the employer's share of payroll taxes, which includes social security, medicare, and unemployment taxes. And don't forget any benefits the employer voluntarily pays.
Arguments for a higher minimum wage center on "economic justice," which translates into justice for some at the expense of others. Other arguments are that people should be able to earn a "living wage." Still others claim the minimum wage needs to rise to account for the effects of inflation.
Why $7.25?
Let's buy the arguments. Let's say that it's unjust for people to earn less than a "living wage" and raise the minimum wage accordingly. However, if we're going to hike the mimimum wage, why stop at $7.25? That's not economic justice. If we're going to raise it, why not raise it to $20 per hour? Or $200?
Clearly, a $200 per hour minimum wage would be foolish. No one will pay $200 per hour for someone to flip burgers or greet people entering a store. But at what point is the minimum not foolish?
The fact is that the minimum wage is arbitrary at any level. No business is going to hire someone for $X per hour if the person can't generate at least $X per hour of value.
The Minimum Is Not Permanent
Politicans act like the minimum wage is permanent. Anyone earning it will always earn it. That's hardly the way it works. People work for lower wages while acquiring the skills and work history that enables them to increase their productivity and command greater wages in the future.
My first job involved working for a roofing contractor... during the summer... in Texas... at age 15... for $2 per hour. If there's ever a situation where a worker was exploited, paying a kid who was too young to work, wages below the minimum wage to shingle roofs in triple digit temperatures is it.
Yet I hardly felt exploited. I was thrilled to have a job and prove myself. Yet, my employer had to break the law to hire me and pay me what I was worth (and given my ineptitude, $2 an hour was generous).
By the end of the summer I turned 16 and managed to talk my way into a job in an air conditioned restaurant. Ahhhhhh!
Part of the reason I got the job was that I had demonstrated a willingness to work hard and reliability working as a roofer. Even so, I started at minimum wage. Fortunately, the minimum wage was low. If it had been a whole lot higher, the restaurant would have hired someone with more direct experience.
Even though I started at the minimum wage, I didn't stay there. Gradually I earned a small raise. It felt good. I was proud of my progression.
By forcing companies to pay a minimum wage, a whole class of lower skill workers will never be given the chance to learn a job and get better at it so they can earn more. Instead, they'll learn that there's little "economic justice" for the unskilled.
Inflation is hardly a justification for the current hike in the minimum wage. Indeed, raising the minimum wage will cause inflation.
Two years ago, the minimum wage was $5.15 per hour. Today, it's $7.25. That's a 41% artificial, government imposed mandate. How is that not inflationary?
Raising the minimum wage also pushes up union wages. James Sherk, the Bradley Fellow in Labor Policy in the Center for Data Analysis at The Heritage Foundation, explains...
Unions campaign to raise the minimum wage at least in part because it enriches them. Raising the minimum wage makes unskilled workers more expensive for businesses to hire, and so hiring skilled and highly paid union members becomes a more attractive choice. This effect increases union members' earned income but reduces low-income workers' job prospects and income. That unions support raising the minimum wage is understandable, but antipoverty advocates should reconsider their support for a policy that hurts the very people they seek to help.
Unions are not altruistic. Belton M. Fleisher, in his book, Minimum Wage Regulation in the United States, quoted union leader, Edward T. Hanley stating, "The purpose of the minimum wage is to provide a floor from which we can upgrade your compensation through collective bargaining."
The Minimum Wage is Price Fixing
If a group of contractors got together in a town to set minimum prices levels in the name of "economic fairness," to ensure the biggest slug in town could make a "living wage," the contractors would be accused of price gouging. They would be guilty of a felony under the Sherman Act.
If price fixing is unacceptable, even illegal, elsewhere in society, why is price fixing for labor not only acceptable but Federally mandated?
The truth is the minimum wage kills jobs. Before the most recent increase, 33 states enacted minimum wage levels in excess of the Federally mandated minimum. As of June 2009, their average unemployment rate was 9.2%, compared to 7.9% for the states following the mandated minimum. The chart below (click it to enlarge) shows that 88% of states with unemployment levels of 11% or more exceeded the mandated minimum wage. By contrast, 64% of the states with unemployment less than 7% followed the Federally mandated minimum.
With overall teen unemployment more than 22% and black teen employment nearing 40%, this is the wrong time to raise the minimum wage. In the 1973 textbook, Economics, the very liberal economist Paul Samuelson acknowledged, "What good does it do a black youth to know that an employer must pay him $2.00 per hour if the fact that he must be paid that amount is what keeps him from getting a job?"
According to David Neumark, professor of economics at the University of California, Irvine, "The best estimates from studies since the early 1990s suggest that the 11% minimum wage increase scheduled for this summer will lead to the loss of an additional 300,000 jobs among teens and young adults. This is on top of the continuing job losses the recession is likely to throw our way."
Frankly, the job destruction from labor price fixing has long been documented. In a Policy Analysis for the CATO Institute, Matthew Kibbe wrote...
According to the 1981 Report of the Minimum Waqe Study Commission, the 46 percent rise in the minimum wage between 1977 and 1981 destroyed 644,000 jobs among teenagers alone. "The evidence is now in, and the findings of dozens of major economic studies show that the damage done by the minimum wage has been far more severe than even the critics . . . predicted." A 1983 survey, "Time-Series Evidence of the Effect of the Minimum Wage on Youth Employment," found that studies conducted between 1973 and 1983 generally agreed that a 10 percent increase in the minimum wage would result in a 1 to 3 percent reduction in teenage employment. Given these findings, the proposal to raise the minimum wage by nearly 40 percent could result in a 4 to 12 percent drop in the employment of teens.
How Does This Affect You?
Since most contractors pay plumbers, technicians, and other field service personnel far more than the minimum wage, many believe it won't affect them. But it does. Aside from the general inflation question, it limits marketing opportunities and limits the future labor pool. It raises the cost to hire a CSR to make happy calls. It raises the cost of a parts runner. It raises the cost of hiring unskilled helpers to learn on the job.
Moreover, it's just bad economics that will create more headwinds for small business to slug through while we create a recovery in spite of govenment actions. This means you're going to have to work harder and smarter in your marketing and all other aspects of your business. Keep reading this blog and I'll offer suggestions and examples from leading contractors.

New Design - Centuri Italian Sea Killer 1.15X
I much more greatly prefer Centuri/Semroc ST-10 to ST-8, simply because there's more room to attach a Kevlar shock cord anchor to the motor mount.
Hence, my "slightly bigger than before" version of this rocket. I included a color kitcard photo from scigs30's build of the original model.
EDIT: I just added the fin patterns that I redrew in Paint Shop Pro.

Today's OC Register clarifies a radio ad that former Assemblyman Jose Solorio is airing in his campaign against Orange County Supervisor Janet Nguyen in their race for the California 34th State Senate District seat. It revolves around a recent agenda item before the Board of Supervisors (see MOORLACH UPDATE — OCFA Study — March 26, 2014 and MOORLACH UPDATE — ALS/CCW/CCP/AOT — March 5, 2014). Supervisor Nelson and I were not amused with a fee that the Orange County Fire Authority has been charging. We were in the minority in opposing its continuance and its lack of full disclosure.
First, Supervisor Nguyen has a habit of abstaining or voting against any fee increases, even when they are justified and appropriate. In this case, she did not vote for a new fee or a current fee increase.
Second, Jose Solorio was the only Orange County specific Assemblyman in June of 2011 to vote for SB 89. This act of treason alone makes him unworthy and unqualified to serve this County in any elected capacity in the future. To refresh your memory, the successful passage of the budget trailer bill SB 89 has cost the County $150 million and reduced its revenues by $73 million per year. For a refresher course, see MOORLACH UPDATE — AB 701 — September 14, 2013, MOORLACH UPDATE — Chair Nelson — January 9, 2013, MOORLACH UPDATE — VLFAA — April 6, 2012, MOORLACH UPDATE — R&T Code Sec. 97.70 — November 15, 2011, MOORLACH UPDATE — BOS Actions — September 14, 2011, and MOORLACH UPDATE — OC Register — September 3, 2011 (another Labor Day Weekend UPDATE).
It would appear that Jose Solorio just can't seem to get much right, and his campaign is being called out for it.
OC state Senate candidate attacks foe in commercial
A radio ad from Jose Solorio wrongly implies that Supervisor Janet Nguyen voted to increase a fee charged by paramedics.
Former Assemblyman Jose Solorio, a Santa Ana Democrat, has rolled out a series of radio ads in his campaign against county Supervisor Janet Nguyen, a Garden Grove Republican, in the race to fill the open state Senate District 34 seat. "911," which attacks Nguyen, is one of those ads.
Title: 911
Length: 30 seconds.
Script: "Supervisor Janet Nguyen used a loophole to get around Proposition 13's property taxpayer protection. The Register reported on March 13 this year that Nguyen voted for 'an additional fee of nearly $400' on seniors and those who need 'advance life support' from paramedics."
Analysis: In March, county supervisors set the terms for ambulance companies wanting to bid for the right to cover parts of the county served by the Orange County Fire Authority. The disputed issue that led to a 3-2 vote was how the ambulance companies would bill those they transported.
Previously, when a patient was in serious condition and needed "advanced life support" attention from paramedics, there was a surcharge of nearly $400 in addition to what was charged for routine ambulance transport. Both of those charges were billed by the ambulance company, which then forwarded the surcharge to the fire authority.
Two supervisors – Shawn Nelson and John Moorlach – opposed the surcharge and wanted to strip it from what the ambulance companies collected under the new contract being bid. Under the proposal by the two, the fire authority would still have the power to make the charge – it adds about $4.5 million to the department budget annually – but it would have to bill the patients directly if it wanted the money.
The board majority, including Nguyen, voted to have the new contract have all collections continue to be done by ambulance company, in part to avoid the bureaucracy of billing by two entities for one trip to the hospital.
The new contract does not add new charges.
Proposition 13 limits property tax hikes and requires two-thirds voter approval for most new taxes. But the type of "fee for services provided" that the fire authority is the beneficiary of is not uncommon. Other similar fees, which are imposed without voter approval, include civil marriage ceremony fees and fees for using public campgrounds.

Natalie T. is a collection of Fine Artisan Jewelry designed and hand wrought by Denise Graves. Her work blends beautiful metal smithing techniques with precious gemstones executed in Argentium Silver and 18k Gold.
The organic shapes of the newest line are reminiscent of the currents and moods of the sea. The result culminates into a unique, lustrous and shimmering finish on a Argentium Silver pendant, bracelet or earrings.
A lifelong love affair with the sea is distinct in the watery colors of Natalie T.'s line. Some pieces are accented in 18k Rose or Yellow Gold with a beautiful gemstone. A sampling of the gemstones used are Sapphire, Blue Zircon, Aquamarine, Tanzanite, Iolite, Apatite and Chalcedony. Chalcedony, known as a healing stone, dominates these designs. Its translucent effect is said to restore calm and balance, and encourage progress and growth.
About Denise
Denise Graves is a jeweler and artist whose passion for creativity was fostered by her grandparents — a craftswoman named Natalie Turner Sampson ("Natalie T.") and a painter, woodcarver and craftsman named Howard Sampson — who encouraged young Denise's imaginative impulses.
Denise formalized her creative passions and love of design in college with a degree in fine arts with a concentration in metalsmithing. She then landed an apprenticeship with an Italian Jeweler learning the art of diamond setting including pave', prong, flush, and channel setting. She has since taught metalsmithing in various regions where she has lived, sharing her love of the forging process with her students. While she enjoys teaching, Denise considers herself an eternal student as well.
Currently based amidst the lakes and mountains of New Hampshire's Monadnock Region, Denise's work can be found in the Sharon Fine Arts & Craft Gallery, Peterborough, NH., Vermont Artisan Design, Brattleboro, Vt., Hannah Grimes Marketplace, Keene, NH. and at select juried Artisan Fairs throughout New England.

Will & Sherilyn Ortman
William, Sherilyn, Liam, Solomon & Christian Ortman live on Will's home place, along with his parents and brother & sister-in-law. Farming is truly a family affair.
Will & Sherilyn met in college and were married in 1998. Having grown up on farms more than 400 miles apart, they soon discovered they had also both run strawberry u-picks and sweet corn patches in their youth.
A favorite story is from a college choir tour before they even started dating. When Sherilyn asked Will what he saw himself doing in ten years, he responded that he would like to be married and doing something that allowed him to work beside his wife "from sunup to sundown." Guess it worked out!
Innovation seems to be in the Ortman genes. Will's grandfather was the first in this area to plant soybeans. Father Arlan also experimented with different crops and animals, and was ahead of his time in harnessing wind energy, as the iconic farm "tower" testifies. As for us, we've dabbled through the years in hydroponics, an indoor winter garden program, and a peach orchard, to name a few. Each one of these ventures, and our eventual pursuit of organic certification, has been about improving food quality and accessibility and has had two common themes: maximizing the potential for local consumers, and creating opportunities for future generations to stay on the farm.
Our boys attend Freeman Academy and each enjoys a different aspect of the farm. Christian, the youngest, is the gardener and the "fruit man." Solomon gravitates toward tractor work, especially when he has a chance to drive! Liam is the oldest and is always ready to catch chickens if need be.
Our life outside the farm is often focused around the arts. Sherilyn is a private piano instructor and frequent accompanist. Will is a composer. All five of us enjoy acting, traveling, board games and spending time with family and friends.
aUSTIN UNRUH
I grew up on a farm outside of Goessel, KS. With hard work and determination in my genes, an Ortman was a perfect fit. I met Lindsey Ortman, daughter of Stan and Gwen, while attending Bethel College just 15 miles from where I grew up.
In August of 2013, I married Lindsey and the following January we moved to South Dakota where Lindsey grew up. Lindsey and I live just two miles from the home farm where I work with her family.
As mentioned, hard work and the rural, farm life are all in my genes. Both of my grandpa's were farmers and known for the relentless hard work, and my parents carried on the tradition and passed it on to their son. I enjoy the chance to work outside on my feet using my hands to provide food for others and a living for my family.
I tend to spend the majority of my time working with the cattle, and I love to care for and raise healthy animals. I am committed to making sure my cows are healthy and happy and well cared for. Raising grass-fed, non-GMO, natural beef is rewarding work, even though it is not always the easiest or most popular way to go. Why is it rewarding? While I feel I am providing a necessary product to the surrounding community and filling a need, I am motivated most by my commitment to caring for God's creation to the best of my ability, and I feel I am doing my part in sustainably raising beef on a diet that reflects natural tendencies as much as possible and managing the land in a way that is mindful of both the present and the future.
Outside of farming, I love athletics and music. Basketball is a passion of mine; I continue to play whenever I can and more importantly I am the head coach of the Freeman Academy-Marion Bearcats high school boys basketball team. I also enjoy football, baseball, soccer, and ultimate Frisbee. I also enjoy more obscure games such as badminton and spike ball, though my playing opportunities for them are not as many as I would like.
Music is an equal love of mine. I have played piano since the 1st grade and am a fan of the music of Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Brahms, Grieg, and Debussy to name a few. I also enjoy singing in church choirs and singing and acting in community theater. Throughout my day, you can often find music playing in the background.
I have a lovely wife Lindsey who works as a social worker at Freeman Regional Health Services in Freeman. It is her incredible eye for photography that has provided this website with so many beautiful snapshots of farm life. Besides photography, Lindsey also loves music and athletics. She helps coach volleyball and girls basketball for the FA-Marion high school teams and enjoys playing volleyball. Music is a shared interest for Lindsey as well, as she plays piano and guitar and enjoys singing.
We love the rural lifestyle, made more enjoyable by beautiful views of the valley, crisp mornings, and the fun and companionship of our three cats Pope, Brahms, and Nella along with the ever sweet and energetic Titan, our German shepherd.
STANLEY & gWEN oRTMAN
Stan and Gwen Ortman are living in the house that Stan grew up in. They raised their children in this same house, with the exception of the 3 years they lived in Tanzania, Africa, where Stan worked with water develop for clean drinking water, and Gwen homeschooled their children. Now Stan's mission is working with his brother, Will Ortman, and his son-in-law, Austin Unruh, to produce food products that are nutritious and free of chemicals. Gwen's mission is teaching high school English and theater at a local private, Christian school. Their oldest, a son, Caley, is attending seminary in Indiana. Lindsey is married to Austin and is a social worker at the local hospital and nursing home. Kelsey, the youngest, is administrator at the local museum and a tutor at the school where her mother teaches. Stan and Gwen see many benefits of living on the same yard with his parents, and also Will's family—sharing ideas and work.

Theatre Aspen is launching a new one-person show festival later this year.
The festival, called "Solo Flights," will highlight a wide range of comedic and dramatic performances. While it will include fully-staged productions, it's also meant to give audiences a sneak peak into works-in-progress. It will also feature talkbacks and panels.

"Solo Flights" will take place in multiple venues in downtown Aspen in September 2019.
Theatre Aspen is currently accepting submissions for one-person shows for the festival.

Connected. We all are, right? We are connected to a myriad of devices that connect us to a myriad of people, places and things. And those connections are important, even meaningful (at times, anyway). But these connections often allow us to lose sight of the most important connections of all — our connection to self.
During Are You Connected?, we will…
talk about what it means to be create meaningful connections with self and those around us,
explore how we distract ourselves from connecting to self and how to manage that tendency, and
discuss how our breath keeps us connected to self and how to ensure we are breathing in a way that nourishes our spirit
Registration Fee - $20 per person. Refreshments provided.
NOTE: Talking Circles are currently limited to a max of 6 participants.
Got questions? Email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or call (301.392.7185) Sherry.
Talking Circles, originally used by indigenous people of the United States, are designed to provide a space that encourages open dialogue, problem-solving, healing and growth. With those principles in mind, our Talking Circle sessions are small group conversations designed to help you explore the root of what keeps you from connecting fully to your inner voice, passions and purpose. The space and conversations are as sacred and special as you are.

Tamerlan Eskerkhanov suspected of insulting investigator in Boris Nemtsov's murder case
Investigators suggest at a court hearing, Tamerlan Eskerkhanov, sentenced in the case on the Boris Nemtsov's murder, insulted a witness questioned by the court. This was reported on October 11 by an advocate of Tamerlan Eskerkhanov.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on October 10, the Supreme Court (SC) of Russia slightly mitigated the verdict in the case on politician Boris Nemtsov's murder. The SC cancelled the fines, but upheld the terms of imprisonment.
On July 13, the court sentenced five natives of Chechnya, accused of killing Boris Nemtsov. Zaur Dadaev, who was found by investigators to be the killer, was sentenced to 20 years in prison; Anzor Gubashev, Shagid Gubashev, Tamerlan Eskerkhanov and Khamzat Bakhaev were sentenced to long prison terms, from 11 to 19 years.
A new criminal case has been instituted against Tamerlan Eskerkhanov under Part 1 of Article 277 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (contempt of court). No charge has yet been filed against him, reported Anna Byurchieva, an advocate of the sentenced man.
According to her, the investigators believe Tamerlan Eskerkhanov insulted investigator Alexander Kamashev, who attended the court hearing as a witness.
"A forensic linguistic examination was appointed in the case, but experts failed to come to any clear conclusions. The second forensic examination will now be carried out, and the criminal case depends on it: experts are to determine whether an insult took place or not," reported Anna Byurchieva as quoted on October 11 by the RIA "Novosti".
"Earlier, the first forensic examination has concluded there were no components of crime, and a resolution on termination was issued... At present, they need an examination to confirm it had been an insult," the RIA "Novosti" quoted the advocate as saying.
Full text of the article is available on the Russian page of 24/7 Internet agency 'Caucasian Knot'.

Check out the entire Cyber Rider mission sequence from the upcoming Watch Dogs 2 in this brand new preview footage recorded by Game Rant in San Francisco.
With the release of Watch Dogs 2 now under a month away, Ubisoft has once again allowed Game Rant to go hands-on with new sections of the game to help fans determine whether or not this is the sequel they've been clamoring for ever since the original Watch Dogs showed so much promise. We were fortunate enough to record some Watch Dogs 2 hands-on footage a month ago, an experience that showcased just how big a departure Watch Dogs 2 will be from its predecessor. That gameplay session lasted just around two hours, however the gameplay discussed in this one has been taken from a hands-on experience that more than doubled the previous session's length.
Coming into the extended playthrough, which was essentially the first four hours of the game, we had a number of questions stemming from our previous visit with Marcus and his band of misfits. Earlier, we had praised the tone of the game as an essential component in separating it from its dreary predecessor - would that vibrancy survive a longer playthrough, or would it be an occasional bright spot buried underneath references to hacking and Big Brother?
Luckily for gamers excited about one of the most anticipated games of the holiday season, it appears concerns over consistency in writing and delivery were ill-founded. While there were a few moments in the game that felt a little sophomoric even for a group of twenty-something anti-authoritarian hackers, those were few and far between, and for the most part Watch Dogs 2 looks like the series has finally found its voice in Marcus Holloway and crew.
The game's first few missions, including the Cyber Rider sequence in the video above, advanced the plot and poked fun at various figures and organizations in popular culture, forgoing the gravel-voiced machismo that drowned out most of the joy in the original Watch Dogs. In a side mission, Marcus steals a sample from famous rapper Bobo Dakes and has the rest of DedSec create a soundboard to imitate the musician, using a combination of both to swindle unlikable pharmaceutical millionaire Gene Carcani. It's a bit of an on-the-nose reference to Martin Shkreli, but it's fun, humorous, and makes Watch Dogs 2 feel like it's really trying to make a statement about technology, privacy, and hacktivism.
Watch Dogs 2 is also willing to embrace the more ridiculous side of hacker culture that has been exaggerated by Hollywood films. In Cyber Driver, Marcus and Wrench gush over their favorite "bad" action-film star, Jimmy Siska - who is meant to be a stand-in for Tom Cruise in a later mission that spoofs Scientology - while their other team members groan over their stupidity. They're nerds, but they aren't being made fun of for being that way, and they embrace that quality and wear it as a badge of honor. It's something that an out-of-touch team of writers would have butchered, but Watch Dogs 2 navigates that space with style and grace.
We enjoyed our last playthrough well-enough, but then again, we had been gifted with a nearly-complete skill tree and more cash than we knew what to do with, making the missions relatively easy to complete and making Marcus feel like an all-powerful hacking god. That's a fine way to have a character end up after hours of in-game progression, but it can also mask some growing pains in games that don't hit their stride until players have slogged through slow, under-powered early missions to "earn" their most useful skills.
This time around, Marcus started as he would in the beginning of a brand new game. Gone were the over-powered, chaotic, and extremely fun "world" hacks that could decimate entire streets of cars. In their place is a main character with a phone, a huge chip on his shoulder, and the knowledge to do some serious damage to an unsuspecting San Francisco.
It would be difficult to overstate just how much more fun starting from scratch with Marcus was. Watch Dogs 2 features smart gameplay design that has Marcus and the player evolve as the missions become progressively more difficult, softening the learning curve of an admittedly dizzying array of potential skills by introducing the most important ones first. The in-game progression feels organic, and never appears to be arbitrarily easy or difficult simply because a mission takes place at a certain point in the narrative - every mission builds off of others, and we found ourselves developing a better Watch Dogs 2 skillset in just a couple of hours as a result.
While shooting a gun is still important in Watch Dogs 2, that developing skillset definitely feels as though it favors a stealth approach to some of the game's larger areas. That isn't to say Marcus isn't capable of wading through a storm of bullets and firing back his own - in fact, he'd probably love to, given his fondness for Siska - but the levels are laid out in such a way that they also reward players attempting to "ghost" their way through. That's a big step up from the original Watch Dogs, which usually saw every mission devolve into a gunfight at some point, and it's yet more evidence Ubisoft has learned from its mistakes and re-designed the Watch Dogs 2 experience from the ground up.
Nothing embodies that feeling more than when a player is tasked with driving in Watch Dogs 2. As we stated in our earlier hands-on session, the experience feels a lot tighter than its predecessor, which made driving sports cars feel like maneuvering an over-burdened transport truck. Now, after even more time behind the various wheels of Watch Dogs 2, we are confident in saying it has one of the better, if not simpler, open-world driving experiences in recent memory. Not many cars stand out, aside from Cyber Driver and an ubiquitous taco truck that seems to pop up everywhere in the city, but it never feels as though gamers will be cheated out of a mission success due to faulty driving physics or bad handling.
After a second serving of Watch Dogs 2, many of our concerns have been alleviated. The reliance on the drone from the earlier session is likely because it takes a long time to acquire in-game, and the generic feeling of the driving actually feels more like a boon after experiencing some more vehicle-based missions. While there's a lot of game left to be explored, from what we've seen so far, it looks like Marcus and a sunny San Francisco setting are exactly what Watch Dogs 2 needs to succeed.
Watch Dogs 2 will be available on November 15, 2016 for PS4 and Xbox One, with a delayed PC release scheduled for November 29, 2016.

Despite spending most of my Christmas clearing up the tears of disappointed (horrendously spoilt) children, engaging in thrilling (dysfunctional) debates with drunken family members and partaking in (gorging on) the most calorie laden treats I could find, I still find time to scrutinise television's festive 'offerings.' That's right, Our Man In The North is PauseLiveAction's very own Christmas miracle.
Even though it was sub par compared to it's own usual high standards, the Royle Family remained, as always, the highlight of the festive schedule. It mirrored many a family home at Christmas, even if a little exaggerated, and watching a load of slobs eat, fart, drink, swear, shout and watch telly was a welcome refuge from my own family home at Christmas. Oh wait…
Yet while it still nicely filled an hour more successfully than any other dross on the television could, The Royle Family was not without its faults. Sadly, it seems to have become a parody of itself. Jim Royle's first line was 'baubles my arse' which was the first hint that this was going to be laden with it's own self-created clichés. They seem to have run out of steam a little bit. Jim Royle viler than last year? Well he talked about having Sheila wipe the toilet seat for him and was trying to get others to take the blame for his rectal gas so check. A well to do house guest (Zoe from Corrie) that no one must offend, but everyone does? Check. That stupid neighbour (Len from Emmerdale) harping on about his wife? Check. An urn filled with ashes and a hoover given as a present with an incredibly predictable outcome? Check.
Never mind, it may not have been as good as previous offerings but it was a hell of a sight better than 'Come Fly With Me.' Or Little Britain in an airport. This was the prime time Christmas Day show where the revolutionary geniuses Matt Lucas and David Walliams broke the mould by donning disguises to poke fun at gay people and people from other cultures for a while. Honestly, there were more gay jibes here than you would find at the annual homophobe convention. Lucas and Walliams' 'hilarious' attempts at causing controversy by having the balls to 'go there' ran out of steam with Little Britain.
And what did the soaps have to offer for their obligatory soap misery? Nothing too interesting either I'm afraid. Eastenders, which normally dominates Christmas Day with an amount of dramatic, nailbiting anguish that would make an emo shiver with pleasure pulled off a decidedly dull exit episode for the apparently legendary Stacey Slater. Yes, this is the loveable chav who, along with trying to spread the clap throughout half of East End London, broke up two marriages, committed a murder and let her husband fall to his death while being chased by the police who think he did it. Nevertheless, the nation loves her, or so Eastenders likes to think, so she boarded a plane last minute on Christmas Day (with a baby we can only assume already has a passport) to the show's self indulgent and cringeworthy piano medley. This was after the original notions of having a revelation announced via a Lauren Branning recording (available in all good media outlets) to the gathered public and a suicide attempt from the roof of the Vic, which remains remarkably unfenced despite this year's live episode fatality. The saving grace was not the horrendous Vic sing off but of course the beautifully malicious Janine. The fact she stabbed herself just to get at Stacey tickled my black humour spot no end and was easily the highlight of a very drab hour.
Things were not much better in Coronation Street. The Cheshire Cat was back and don't we all know it. Tracy Barlow got her self-satisfied, gurning features into practically every scene. And while Kate Ford has never really been widely renowned for spectacular acting abilities, she has never been as cringeworthy as this before.
Tracy was a fabulous character during the Karen and Steve saga. Mean, bitchy, calculating, outrageous but a little human too. Her one liners were well placed and witty. She didn't require a camera smirk after every sentence. Then, Corrie ruined her character by turning her into a murderer. And now she is just off the scales as a panto villain. The blame cannot rest purely with Ms Ford to be fair. The writing was below standard for Corrie and they are evidently using these episodes to overdo Tracy's badness for an upcoming new year twist. If you have avoided spoilers, you'll know what I mean soon. And I'm going to enjoy watching that!
And so to the best of a bad bunch, Emmerdale. In fact, bad is a bit unfair. Hold it up against Eastenders and Corrie, then Emmerdale once again blew it out of the water. It held just the right balance of warmth and drama needed for a Christmas episode. Some lovely scenes between Eric and Val, Paddy and Chas, Nicola and Jimmy and Aaron and Jackson provided some genuinely heartwarming moments. But naturally the best bit was the wedding we'd all been waiting for…and sleazy Carl receiving a glorious right hook from wronged bride Chas. And let's hope she stays away from him!
All in all, a mixed bag. Any other views regarding your take on xmas telly are of course more than welcome in the comments box.

The Secret Codes Of French Society
Eighteen, almost nineteen years since I've immigrated to the United States. Multitudes of parties attended, numerous new folks met, and inevitably the same one question keeps getting thrown at me:
"Why are the French so rude?"
Most of the time, I don't know how to respond. I suppose this recurring question is not helping our mood.
It is true that the French can be perceptibly rough around the edges, tough, short, to the point, stern, impatient, with a lot of opinions, and are not afraid to voice any of it.
Our "coolness" was not lost on Natalie Portman. She was prompt to report on it to the Hollywood media when she moved back to LA from Paris in 2016 and experienced a reversed culture shock. "Is it considered rude to be friendly in France?", Jimmy Kimmel questions.
"Rude" and "friendly" may not seem like it, but they are incredibly subjective and cultural concepts. Something may be considered rude in a country and not at all in another. "Rude" is in the eye of the beholder. And friendly may be friendly somewhere, and of questionable intent somewhere else.
In the US, you'll make a stranger feel good by offering a smile. In France, you'll do so by staying out of their way and respecting their personal space.
Also, we do not smile while walking down the streets. That would be opening ourselves up to harassment from strangers, something we absolutely detest to have to deal with. This happens a lot if we don't build up a shield to ward off unwelcome behaviors. And by shield we mean us, not smiling, willfully walking down the street with a don't-mess-with-me attitude.
Smiles and eye contact are for people you know or to have a shared moment of flirt with a stranger.
Do it outside of this context, and you'll be followed around the block by someone who finds you unbearably charming, won't tear themselves away, and ends up calling you a "salope" (bitch) when you don't engage back.
This is in part what I imagine Ms. Natalie Portman encountered while living in Paris, along with the few "rules of politeness and codes of behavior" France and the French hold near and dear to our hearts. Any and all human societies have rules of conduct (so do the US, trust me). This is what makes them them, and those in France are what makes our beautiful country one of the top rated places in the world for our incredible art of living.
Because you can't know what you don't know… for you, just for you, and Ms. Natalie Portman, here is our quick guide to
What to do and not to do to survive a trip to France:
On the streets
Be cool, calm, collected. Be on target and just go where you need to go. Pitstops allowed: shopping, coffee at a bistro, baguette at a bakery.
You'd think the French poetically meander through the cobble stoned streets with our heads up in the clouds, declaiming verses from an obscure 17th century dramatist. Wrong. We walk straight to the point with our heads down to make really really sure we don't step in dog poop.
At the café
Do not hail or howl at the waiter. He'll feel rushed and be rude, guaranteed. These pros have eyes behind their heads. They know you're here and will come to you in the order in which you've arrived. Be patient and wait your turn.
In a store
The very first thing one should do is greet the community within the store, including the sales staff and the other shoppers. This is particularly true in boutiques. Ms. Portman was surprised that one had to greet a sales person in a store and give them a chance to respond alike before starting to make demands. Frankly, we are a bit surprised by her surprise.
Isn't it an incredibly polite rule for a society that is deemed rude?
Upon entering a store, say: "Bonjour", "Bonjour mesdames" (for a crowd only comprised of ladies) or more simply "Mesdames", or "Messieurs Dames" (for a mixed crowd). We love you Natalie, we do (yes we do!), but we don't get what is so complicated.
Invited for dinner
Never, ever, ever show up at a friend's house for dinner empty handed. Like, ever. The French will rarely ask you to contribute a dish, or even a bottle of wine unless you have access to something extraordinary they don't. An official dinner invitation at a French house is often a highly curated event. The menu will have been carefully chosen down to the drinks, don't throw a wrench in the plan.
Flowers, a box of designer chocolates, or something more personal such as décor, a scarf... are all perfectly acceptable options for gift.
Let yourself be guided by the host or hostess. Invitations to French dinners are sought after because they are more than a cook. They are also a mentor, a tour guide, a caretaker and an entertainer rolled into one. Just follow their lead and in doubt, don't be the first one to start or finish anything.
Stay out of the kitchen unless invited to join. No cook wants you to see how the sausage is made.
At the table
No elbows on the table. Gently place your hands on the edge of it. You'll need both to use your cutlery.
Learn the proper way to use your cutlery.
The food comes up to meet your mouth, never the other way around.
No loud chewing, swallowing, slurping.
Don't throw yourself, body and soul, at the bread, regardless of how hangry you are.
Do not add salt to your dish without tasting it first, that would imply you think the cook can't possibly have seasoned the dish properly.
Don't help yourself to food or drinks unless you are expressly invited to. But even then, take on the mission to serve everyone else before yourself. Don't help yourself to a second serving before being invited to do so. Eating at the table is paced by rounds of food, and everyone is on the same schedule.
Women first, men second. Always.
The dinner is about the food, but then it isn't. Above all else, it is about the ritual of sharing food and spirited conversations. Talk, chat, share a lot; eat a little. THIS is why our meals last forever and why we still spend an average of 130 minutes a day eating (vs. 60 minutes in the US).
Don't overindulge in the food or wine. Neither being stuffed nor drunk is attractive.

Use of a Mental Health Professional to Assist in a Collaborative Divorce
Posted By Posted by Stann Givens on Apr 4, 2011 12:30am PDT || Apr 4, 2011We have blogged before about Collaborative Divorce. Plain and simple, it is a process where the spouses and their expert St. Petersburg divorce attorneys get together in the beginning of the case and pledge to do everything they can to reach an agreed upon settlement. They seal the pledge by the lawyers promising to withdraw and the spouses promising to find other lawyers if a full agreement cannot be reached. They sometimes share expert financial, child custody and other experts to avoid duplicate costs.
An emerging trend is present in these types of cases. More and more, mental health professionals are brought in from the very beginning (even if there are no children's issues) to assist the couple in working out their differences. The results have been very positive.
The purpose of the psychologist or other mental health professional is to keep the disagreements and emotions from getting in the way of an objective effort to reach a fair resolution of the differences. It is amazing how an expert like that can keep the spouses focused on the agreement and moving on and prevent them from wallowing in the petty (or even significant) disputes that led to the breakup of the marriage.
Bottom line: Talk to your expert Tampa divorce lawyer about collaborative law and the use of mental health professionals to save you time, money and useless bickering.

text: Rocksteady returns to its Batman series with Arkham Knight, taking a more original approach with a new antagonist and incorporates the Batmobile. The gameplay video above highlights how the Batmobile moves, especially in combat with its ability to strafe left at right. When in driving mode, the power of the Batmobile shines through, plowing through barriers as if they were made of styrofoam. And while the Scarecrow is being positioned as the main villain of the game, the Arkham Knight looks to be taking the role of making Batman's job harder as he takes a more militaristic approach to crime in Gotham. Batman: Arkham Knight was originally slated for late 2014 but was pushed back to 2015 when it will come for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
