The furnishing in most of the rooms is a bit dated, but it is very clean, and the beds are comfortable. These are time shares, so the rooms all have kitchens, which are outfitted with full fridge, stove, toaster, dishes, cooking utensils, etc. Which is really great.
There is a brand new grocery store right across the street from the property, so picking up groceries is a breeze.
Pool is lovely, and there are plenty of community grills, if you want to cook out.
The check in/check out process can be VERY LONG at times
Overall, no real complaints, and would stay again.

Golf Swing Tips
Take advantage of golf swing instruction from top pros and drop strokes from your game. Our golf swing tips will help you hit the sweet spot and keep your game in the fairway.
10 Best Swing Tips Ever!
Keep Your Hands Low - Limiting the height of the followthrough will effectively reduce the height of your shots. The lower the hands, the lower the ballflight. Moving the ball back in your stance or choosing a stronger club and trying to swing easy are other ways to accomplish the same thing, but they're less reliable and more difficult to execute.
Going Low
Jam Your Back Foot
In the last issue of Golf Tips, I showed you how to use the edge of a wall to help improve your chipping. This month, I'm going to show you how a simple household item, such as a doorjamb, can help you hit the ball farther.
Kenny Perry
Check out Kenny Perry's outstanding power move
At 46 years of age, you'd think Tour veteran Kenny Perry would be struggling to keep up with today's young guns. After all, the closer players get to the Champions Tour, the shorter they're supposed to hit it. Not Perry. As of this year's PLAYERS Championship, the Kentuckian is ranked 21st in Driving Distance, placing him six spots (and 1.1 yards) ahead of Tiger Woods.
Back To The Wall
Hit more fairways with a correct swing path
One of the most common swing flaws occurs when golfers take the club too far inside the target line on the backswing. Usually, this move is caused by a backswing that's controlled by the hips and the dipping of the shoulders away from the ball. And, as you may guess, this move leads to a handful of bad shots, including pushes, topped shots, slices and duck hooks.
Turn, Don't Slide
Many players tell me that they're trying to "load their right side" or "get to their right side" in the backswing, but in almost all cases, that player is sliding back instead of turning.
Anthony Kim
Tour rookie Anthony Kim, or AK as he's also known, has a lot in common with another well-known (#1 in the world) Tour player from southern California. A former Junior World champ and big-time junior golfer, AK earned both Freshman of the Year and All-American honors at The University of Oklahoma.
Tempo Is Tops
Without question, two of the most important factors that affect the golf swing are balance and tempo. If you don't have balance, then you won't have consistency. And if you lack a consistent tempo, you can kiss control goodbye.
Golf Can Be Simple
On September 4, 2004, the golf world lost a true, if not mysterious, legend. His name was Moe Norman, a shy, introverted man mostly known for his unorthodox swing. Standing wide at address with his arms stretched away from his body, his club some 12 inches behind the ball, Norman's swing was unconventional. It defied all modern teaching. Yet this reticent man held more than 40 course records, recorded 17 holes-in-one and won 24 tournaments.
Its A Right-Sided Swing
Why hitting with the left is a flawed theory
Golf is simple. Check that—golf should be simple. After all, the swing is basically a takeaway and a downswing. Like when you throw a baseball—you rear back then let it go. Then why do millions of golfers have such difficulty making consistent, solid contact? In my opinion, it's because the golf swing requires coordination of not only all moving parts, but synchronization of the two halves of your body, the left and right.
How Far Is Too Far?
Sometimes it just doesn't matter if you have great posture, a perfect spine angle and even a steady head position. As long as you're standing too far away from the ball, you're going to have a devil of a time hitting consistent golf shots. In fact, most students I've taught tend to stand too far away from the ball for reasons that make sense, such as a fear of shanking the ball off the hosel or hitting a fat shot.
Spine AlignGolf is a game of circles, right? The ball is round, the cup is round,the golf swing is somewhat round. So what's all this business about having a straight spine angle? How does that have anything to do with making successful contact?
Pro Positions: Will MacKenzie
Willie Mac Attack!
I often long for the days when Slammin' Sammy Snead and Gene Sarazan played the game, a couple of great sticks with personalities just as bright as their games. Well, fortunately for golf fans, there's a new kid on the block and he's brought a unique backstory and stellar game (albeit with a modern flair). His name is Will MacKenzie, or "Willie Mac," as the 2006 Reno-Tahoe victor is sometimes called.
Sweet Spot: Jim Furyk
Considering the fact that Jim Furyk is the second best-ranked player in the world and he's in the top five on the PGA Tour in both driving accuracy and greens in regulation, there's really no need to take apart and analyze the unorthodox movements in Furyk's unique but effective golf swing. Instead, let's look at the good stuff we all can learn from perhaps the most underrated major championship and 12-time winner on the PGA Tour. (By the way, he's definitely going to win a lot more.) Here you'll see Furyk near impact as he warms up during a crisp Los Angeles morning at the Nissan Open.
Turn The Chin
Too often, I've watched golfers set up to the ball correctly with a consistent routine, good alignment and solid posture. But in the last few seconds of the setup, during the moment when the golfer takes a last look at the hole, the setup falls apart, gets cockeyed and the golfer can't help but hit the ball any which way but straight. Sound familiar?
Don't Confuse Fast With LongWhen I watch a golfer hit a 7-iron, then a driver, he or she invariably amps up the swing speed with the longer club. Surely, the clubhead of the driver moves faster because it's longer, but it's because of the principles of physics, not because the golfer is swinging the club with a faster tempo.
The ReleaseThe word "release" sometimes causes confusion among high-handicappers. They know they have to release the club, but they're not sure how or when to do it. Here's the skinny: A proper release happens naturally when the golfer allows the clubface to square through impact as a result of the proper path and clubhead speed. It's not a position that you can just put yourself into at impact—you have to arrive at it via the proper sequence.
Moment Of ImpactThe biggest challenge for a golf student is to feel the proper mechanics. Fortunately, there's a simple way to experience the feeling of the most important moment during the golf swing: impact.
Fancy FootworkIn any sport, the feet and legs must work together in order for the rest of the body to function properly, and golf is no exception. In a fundamentally sound swing, the feet need to roll from side-to-side to provide power and control. On the backswing, the left foot should roll to the inside, and the heel should stay on or near the ground. During the downswing, the right foot should roll to the inside before the heel gets pulled up for the finish. By maintaining contact with the ground, you'll create leverage and be better able to swing in control.
Posture CheckRecreational golfers who constantly struggle to fix their swing problems would do well to fix their posture first. Rounding the back, flexing the knees too much and tucking the head down to see the ball are common setup faults that can lead to a poor swing. If your posture isn't right, you'll be forced to swing with mostly your arms and hands, creating very little shoulder turn.
Time The SnapIn instant prior to completing his backswing, Ben Hogan initiated his downswing with his body and arms, creating a lagging action or "snap." This move resulted in a type of torque similar to that of casting a fishing pole.
Don't Spill The DishesMany amateurs allow their right elbow to move too far away from their body at the top of the backswing, so that their elbow is pointing behind them, almost in the position of a baseball player in a batting stance. This "flying" right elbow at the top of the swing is a frequent cause of a nasty pull or slice.
The Fire DrillLet's assume you get the club to the top of the backswing, positioned somewhere above the right shoulder. You feel on balance, the swing is on-plane, but you still manage to either slice the ball or push it to the right to some degree. Frustrating as all hell, isn't it?
Sweet Spot: Retief GoosenCurrently ranked fifth in the world, Retief Goosen is an elite-level player who has two U.S. Open titles on his resume and the potential to win several more. Known for long, accurate driving and clutch putting, Goosen's swing is somewhat idiosyncratic, filled with compensating moves that make it less than ideal by modern standards.

A 32-year-old Norwalk woman pleaded guilty to stealing her boyfriend's firearms during a burglary she admitted to staging.
Shauna Greaves called the Huron County Sheriff's Office to report a burglary at the man's Willard home.
Greaves told the authorities someone had broken in and stole two firearms, according to Prosecutor Russell Leffler.
However, Greaves stole the firearms herself and sold them in Elyria, where she used the proceeds to buy heroin which she also admitted using, Leffler said.
During a final pretrial hearing Monday in the Huron County Common Pleas Court, Greaves pleaded guilty to theft of a firearm, a felony charge.
As part of the plea, the attorneys indicated Greaves would likely be headed to a community based correctional facility (CBCF) when she is sentenced. A CBCF is a form of prison which focuses on substance abuse treatment and education.
Before the court can sentence her, authorities must gather further information regarding whether the victim wants to be reimbursed for his guns. Judge Jim Conway ordered a pre-sentence investigation as well as a victim's impact statement before he makes his decision.

Dunn, Jennifer, McIntyre, Robert S., Insight on the News
Q: Should Congress phase out the family estate tax?
Yes: This archaic tax punishes most entrepreneurs, farmers and many family businesses.
Leonard L. Harris, a first-generation owner of Chatham Food Center on Chicago's South Side -- and one of the fewer than 20 black-owned supermarket owners in the United States -- recently was in Washington, D.C., to meet with lawmakers in Congress. His rise to prominence as a businessman is emblematic of the values that drive success stories: hard work, common sense and a desire to make a better life for his children. The freedom to attain prosperity and accumulate wealth is uniquely American and, when unfettered, it is a wonderful thing to behold. So what would make this successful and busy entrepreneur leave his business and travel to Washington, D.C.? The answer is simple: Everything for which he has sacrificed during the years is at risk of being confiscated when he dies.
It has been said that only with our government are you given a certificate at birth, a license at marriage and a bill at death. One of the most compelling aspects of the American Dream, as Harris will attest, is to make life better for our children and loved ones. Yet, the current tax treatment of a person's life savings is so onerous that, when one dies, the children often are forced to mm over half of their inheritance to the federal government. The estate tax is imposed at an alarming 37 percent to 55 percent rate. This is higher than in any other industrialized nation in the world except Japan. Even worse, not only does this take place at an agonizing time for the family, but they also have to watch their loved one's legacy be snatched up by the federal government -- an entity not known for great wisdom in spending money. This is as wrong as it is tragic. And it dishonors the hard work of those who have passed on.
"My focus has been putting my earnings back in to grow the business," Hams said at a press conference with other minority business owners advocating repeal of the estate tax. "For this reason, cash resources to pay federal estate taxes, based on the way valuation is made, would force my family to sell the store in order to pay the IRS within nine months of my death. Our yearly earnings would not cover the payment of such a high tax. I should know, I started my career as a CPA.... Fortunately, we now have an opportunity to get the 'legacy killer' out of our lives and future."
The purpose of the estate tax, or "death tax" as many call it, has evolved over time. It has been enacted four other times in our nation's history as a way to help fund wars -- the naval war with France in 1797, the Civil War in 1862, the Spanish-American War in 1898 and during World War I. Although it was repealed within six years in each of the first three instances, in 1916 the federal government put its hand in the pocket of Americans to fund the First World War and never took it out. Over time, the tax began to reflect political philosophy as liberal politicians sought to break up what they perceived to be the concentration of wealth in society by heavily taxing estates. It has become less of a tax on wealth, however, and more of a tax on the accumulation of wealth of those who are trying to get ahead and save for the future.
Harry Alford, president and CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, understands this. "The total net worth of African-Americans is only 1.2 percent of the total -- versus 14 percent of the population. We have been stuck at that number since the end of the Civil War. Getting rid of the death tax will start to create a needed legacy and begin a cycle of wealth-building for blacks in this country. Eliminating the death tax will be a great start."
As Harris' story reveals, it is the small businesses and family farms that are particularly vulnerable to the death tax. Asset-rich and cash-poor, these enterprises do not have the liquid resources to settle a tax bill with the federal government of as much as 55 percent. …

It's so nice to see a guy with a normal sized cock! Some of these pornstars look like freaks with their huge dicks. I'd love to be fucked by this guy.
Damnn id eat her and fuck her and i like guy ...
Kathryn, Yea normal is good and this one's quite thick, love to suck and fuck with him too
It's a great video - until he has to whack off about three times before he can cum, and then he keeps doing it when he's cumming in her. Apparently the sex wasn't good enough by itself to make him cum in her - he had to stroke his cock to make it happen. Next time, he should find someone else to fuck her, someone who can cum from the natural hotness of the sex itself. Such a turnoff to see a guy stroking it instead of fucking the girl.
das ist eine suesse, die ich mal in einem streifen sah, in dem sie entspannt und locker wirkte.
any threesome videos with her?
As I watched this film, a lot of excitement, especially when he emptied his cum in her pussy ... nice movie, beautiful girl... julian
How does this goofy ass dude get these hot chicks
ha..ha.oh my god
This guy is just ridiculous.
very fuckable
Why do they put chubby fuckin' dudes like him in porn!?!?
Omg im a chick and i'd fuck the shit out of her. ps im not gay, but next time can she get someone hot please not this fat whitee dude!
not only does he have to whack off to come he also seems to need a lot of attention to get even a modest hard on. I do think him having a not so huge cock is fine as it is more realistic and I am not sure why he has to be so fat - at least he does us the kindness of keeping on his shirt!
this woman has done enough creampie scenes to repopulate the earth
Her talking made the scene even better. But guy must have something wrong if he can't cum without jacking off.
she will suck your dick then give you cpr
I almost think that the reason everyone says he is small is because he's fat and it covers it hahahaha. Because if you think about it where does all that fat go?
her names harmony rose, look her up
This was the first porn video I ever watched. I simply searched "humping."
@Hapy because their are all prostitute. you could get it too if you´ll pay.
She's a REAL slurper.....
I know he's not hot but.. I'd fuck this guy. He actually looks like he knows what he's doing half the time. I've had better fucks from men with cocks his size than I have men with huge dicks. I would have sex with him honestly. I would prefer he be balls deep for the first few times he came and then finish off like he does but that's just me.
The pimp behind the camera couldn't at least have gotten a halfway decent-looking dude to fuck this hot girl?
This one is a semi-pro at least. She has done it before for sure.
tha is a hot girl in that bad hell yes hell hell out off her
Cant beleve i bookmarkt this vid but i did. So hot! She has great tits. Mmmm
we met in our nasty dreams my tight queen of Nasty Feelings
I want to cum inside her pussy too.

Holy shit! This is fucking awesome!
Joe really gets areound with hot chicks

This guys chubby with a tiny dick. Harmony must be a prostitute.

I'd fuck her.... and I'm a chick
she just has to be fucked a lot more
Most of You men out there might not agree with me but You have to be careful with going to deep & VERY hard because you can make a woman bleed & that will stop her from getting pregeant.
i NEED more vids of harmony! she's so fuckin sexy and i love the way she moans and how her tits bounce so much mmmmmm
no pale fat men, please
to "he has got to be careful"- I don't think you have to worry about him hurting any girls, he's not big enough to even hit the bottom of a pussy.
he needs to workout alittle.
Damn, my cunt is so fucking wet after watching them
she can sit on my cock any day of the week.
We need more Harmony in the world. Yes, this world would be a better place if there was more Harmony. Peace and Harmony? No, more like "piece OF Harmony."
I'd lick her pussy all day long. Then fuck it all night.
cute girl lol i want her in my bed XP

Employers, can we have a heart to heart? I need to get something off my chest. You see, I've witnessed a disturbing trend lately in the court cases I'm reading and in your FMLA practices: too many of you are not recognizing when an employee's leave request may be covered by the FMLA.
Let me share a real life situation that illustrates my point.
Christine Dollar supervised a bunch of truck drivers at Smithway Motor Xpress. Dollar also suffered from depression. In March, she missed several workdays for some rather ambiguous reasons. By June, her depression apparently worsened, and she suffered periods of anxiety and insomnia severe enough that a friend took her to the emergency room for treatment.
Dollar called her supervisor before her shift the following day to inform her employer that she would not be reporting to work that day. The following day, she called her supervisor again to inform him that she was seeking treatment at a mental health center and had received a doctor's note keeping her off work for another week. Dollar provided her employer this note, which clearly indicated she was being treated for depression.
Two days later, however, Dollar's supervisor informed her that she no longer would be working in her current position and that the VP of Human Resources would tell her where she would transfer when he returned from vacation -- two weeks later. Thereafter, Dollar sought several extensions of her leave of absence and provided medical documentation supporting her continued absence. When she could not return to work immediately, Dollar was terminated.
Thud. That's the sound of the employer smack down after a trial court later found that the employer had interfered with Dollar's FMLA rights when it provided her no FMLA certification form and no notice of her FMLA rights following her request for leave. Dollar v. Smithway Motor Xpress (pdf)
Insights for Employers
The Dollar case serves as a valuable reminder that we must do a better job recognizing when an employee has put us on notice that the requested absence might be covered by the FMLA. A few reminders are worth noting:

Coming into the park is reminiscent of the old Army posts. Beautiful grassy open areas and some old post homes. The RV park is way in the back of the property. The sites are gravel with grassy areas and big trees around them. We'd stay here again and would recommend it. We were only here for one afternoon and night. My husband golfed for $11 including the cart and loved the turkeys and deer all over the course. - Tahoewinegirl

Texas Health and Human Services Commission
Texas Works Handbook
Revision: 15-1
Effective: January 1, 2015
Part A — Section 1100
Child Support
A—1110 General Policy
TANF and Medical Programs
The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) Child Support Division is responsible for the child support program. The OAG attempts to establish and enforce child support and medical support for children on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and certain medical programs.
Caretakers and payees must cooperate in obtaining child support and medical support for a child receiving TANF unless good cause exists.
Caretakers and second parents are mandatory participants and must cooperate in obtaining medical support for a child receiving Medicaid unless good cause exists. They may refuse assistance in obtaining child support, but not medical support. If the individual refuses assistance in obtaining child support, the OAG will not attempt to establish or enforce child support unless the individual has a previous TANF case with arrears that must be paid back to the state. Explain to individuals that when OAG pursues medical support, Texas courts also pursue a child support order. If the individual chooses medical support only, the OAG will not attempt to enforce the child support orders.
Related Policy
Good Cause, A-1130
Medical Programs except TP 08
Medical support requirements do not apply to children's medical programs. Exception: A pregnant woman receiving Medicaid must provide the name and last known address of the legal and/or biological father of her unborn child. Applicants and individuals may volunteer to receive child/medical support services. There is no penalty for noncooperation. Note: The OAG may contact and continue to collect benefits for a household receiving only children's medical assistance due to previous receipt of TANF.
Households may contact the OAG if they have questions or would like assistance in obtaining OAG services by calling 1-800-252-8014.
A—1111 Office of the Attorney General (OAG) Case Information and Inquiry
TANF and Medical Programs
If the custodial or noncustodial parents or employers have questions regarding child support payments, distribution or withholdings, refer them to the local child support office or to 1-800-252-8014.
Refer custodial or noncustodial parents to the local OAG office if they request verification and certification of public assistance received. The OAG staff complete Form 1740, Request for Public Assistance Payment Certification, when the amount of public assistance is in question or when it is needed in court to establish child support. HHSC Fiscal Management Services (E-411) researches and certifies the amounts and date on Form 1745, Report of Total Public Assistance Payments, for the OAG.
A—1120 Child Support Program Requirements and Procedures
TANF and Medical Programs
Use Form H1712, Explanation of Child/Medical Support, Family Violence and Good Cause, to explain the
- child support process;
- benefits of the child support program;
- penalties for not cooperating;
- details about the family violence option;
- details of the good cause claim for not cooperating; and
- individual's responsibility to
- provide information to HHSC and OAG on all possible biological and/or legal parent(s);
- help the OAG find the absent parent;
- help the OAG establish paternity, if necessary;
- go to the OAG office or to court to sign papers or provide necessary information; and
- remit all child/medical support payments received after TANF is approved.
A—1121 Authorization and Assignment of Child and Medical Support
TANF and TP 08
The assignment of rights to child and medical support is accomplished when an applicant signs Form H1010, Texas Works Application for Assistance — Your Texas Benefits. Signing Form H1010 gives the OAG permission to receive and process any child or medical support payments made payable to the TANF child.
A—1122 Parent Profiles for Child and Medical Support Referrals
A—1122.1 Parent Profile Questionnaire
TANF and TP 08
Form H0050, Parent Profile Questionnaire, information is required for each absent parent. Note: The absent parent information may be obtained verbally and entered onto Absent Parent page. If a child has both a legal and a biological absent parent, obtain information on both. The individual must provide the following minimum information about the absent parent unless the individual can reasonably explain why it is impossible or can establish good cause:
- the absent parent's first and last name;
- information about the relationship (divorced, separated, never married) between the child's mother and father; and
- at least one of the following:
- the absent parent's Social Security number,
- the absent parent's current or last known address,
- the absent parent's employer information (current and/or previous employer).
The advisor must address each item on Form H0050 and help the individual obtain information about the absent parent(s). The OAG establishes cases based on information collected from the applicant and entered by the advisor. Failure to provide complete and accurate information may affect the successful enforcement of child support.
TP 43, TP 44, TP 47 and TP 48
If the individual volunteers to receive services provided by the OAG , staff must collect absent parent information as noted above and refer the child's EDG to the OAG.
A—1122.2 Child Support and Medical Support Referrals
TANF and Medical Programs except TP 40 and TP 36
Send referrals to the OAG on legal and biological parent(s):
- when deprivation is based on absence;
- when deprivation is based on death;
- if paternity cannot be established using policy in A-1021, Unwed Parents Living Together, for a biological father who is in the home;
- if the family volunteers to receive services provided by the OAG for Children's Medicaid programs; or
- the adult caretaker receives TP 08. See A-1122.1, Parent Profile Questionnaire, for for Children's Medicaid programs.
Do not send a referral if:
- a child in the home is not deprived because both parents are in the home or deprivation is based on unemployment or underemployment (TANF-SP);
- a claim of good cause has been established;
- deprivation is based on physical or mental incapacity; or
- the legal or biological father of a pregnant woman's unborn child has no other children receiving Medicaid.
Review Form H0050, Parent Profile Questionnaire, with the individual to ensure no items are blank, that the individual provided complete and current information and entered the information in the Absent Parent LUW. TIERS automatically sends the referral to OAG.
A—1123 Updates to Child Support Referrals
TANF and TP 08
Advise the client to report new information about the absent parent(s). At each redetermination, review the information previously submitted for accuracy and update items as needed. OAG will receive the update automatically.
After certification, TANF individuals must remit to the OAG all child support payments received for a certified child. Give the individual sufficient copies of Form H1710, Payment Identification, and OAG self-addressed envelopes, if payments are being made or might be made. When the individual receives a child support payment from an absent parent following certification, the individual must:
- write on the check or money order "Deposit Only - State Treasury." Do not endorse the check or money order;
- include Form H1710 with the check or money order; and
- send it to the Texas Child Support Disbursement Unit, P.O. Box 659791, San Antonio, Texas 78265-9941.
If child support is intended for a child on TANF and one on SSI, the individual must remit the payment to the OAG for proration and distribution to occur.
If the individual turns in child support payments to the local office,
- forward the payment(s) to the Child Support Disbursement Unit, and
- give the individual a copy of Form H4100, Money Receipt.
Send Form H1701, Child Support, TANF Foster Care and TANF/Medicaid Case Information Exchange, to OAG if you become aware that the individual did not remit a child support payment. Include amounts and months involved. Follow policy in A-1140 to sanction the individual for noncooperation. If the individual indicates they will continue to keep child support received from the absent parent, follow policy in B-700 and process a claim for the month(s) of unreported income.
If OAG becomes aware that the individual received child support and did not remit the payments, the child support officer notifies the advisor on Form H1701. The advisor must process a claim for the unreported income.
Do not require the household to remit any child support collected on behalf of a non-mutual child.
Related Policy
Remitting Cash Medical Support Payments to the TPR Unit, A-861.5
Child Support, A-1326.2
A—1125 OAG Distribution
After individuals are certified for TANF, they must send all child support payments received to the OAG Child Support Division. OAG:
- sends the $75 disregard to the individual,
- reimburses the state for TANF paid to the individual, and
- sends HHSC the monthly interface file of child support collections for TANF recipients.
HHSC uses the information to determine if the collection exceeds the grant plus the disregard, and to determine grant in jeopardy if it exceeds the grant.
If the individual receives child support for an SSI child in the household, the OAG will distribute (directly to the individual) the prorated share of support intended for the SSI child.
The month after the OAG receives a child support payment they send the individual up to $75 (disregard payment). The amount sent is the lesser of:
- the court-ordered payment amount,
- the amount the OAG received during a given month, or
- $75.
When OAG receives a child support collection that exceeds the grant plus unreimbursed assistance, the excess is sent to the individual. Form H1714, Notice of Grant Jeopardy, Form H1715, Notice of Excess Payment, Form H1716, Notice of Grant Jeopardy/Excess Payment - Transfer to TP 20, or Form H1717, Notice of Grant Jeopardy/Excess Payment - Denial, will notify you of the date and amount of the payment.
For EDGs involving SSI children, this may generate a grant-in-jeopardy EDG. In processing the grant in jeopardy, the advisor must review the EDG and verify the child support payment to determine if the prorated share of child support exceeds the TANF grant minus the disregard. If it does, transfer the case to TP 20. If it does not, document the findings and allow the TANF EDG to continue.

Note: If the individual appeals the action described in A-852, Automated Transfer Process, and receives continued benefits, count the excess payment as income during the appeal period if you anticipate the child support payments will continue.

A—1130 Explanation of Good Cause
TANF and TP 08
The purpose of good cause is to allow individuals to access benefits safely. Good cause provides a waiver from cooperating with the OAG's child support and medical support requirements.
Advisors must explain the family violence option and good cause to all individuals. Advisors use Form H1712, Explanation of Child/Medical Support, Family Violence and Good Cause, to explain the family violence exemption from the child support and medical support requirements. The explanation must include the situations that justify good cause and the required verifications. Advisors must also explain that individuals do not have to cooperate with child support or medical support requirements if they can prove that cooperation is not in the child's best interest. Individuals must claim good cause separately for each absent parent. Advisors must notify the OAG of the individual's good cause claim.
After explaining Form H1712 to the individual, advisors should review Part I of Form H1713, Service Plan for Family Violence Option and Report of Good Cause, with the individual during the interview. The advisor completes only Part I of Form H1713 if the individual indicates on this form that the individual does not want to claim good cause. If the individual wants to claim good cause, the advisor must make an assessment referral to a family violence specialist as explained in A-1131.1, Good Cause for Family Violence Option.
Once the family violence specialist makes a determination of good cause, the advisor sends Form H1713 to the local child support office and HHSC Family Violence Program (FVP) staff to report the final decision.
Note: FVP staff use the good cause determination information for TANF federal reporting.
A—1131 Good Cause Situations
TANF and TP 08
Good cause exists when:
- A child was conceived as a result of incest or rape.
- Legal proceedings for the child's adoption are pending before a court or a licensed or private social agency is helping the individual decide whether to keep the child or relinquish the child for adoption. This issue must not have been under discussion more than three months.
Note: Staff must update the absent parent referral if the issue remains unsolved beyond the third month.
- A child or caretaker may be physically harmed.
- A child or caretaker may be emotionally harmed to the extent that the caretaker's capacity to adequately care for the child is impaired.
A—1131.1 Good Cause for Family Violence Option
TANF and TP 08
Cooperating with the OAG's child support and medical support requirements poses a potential safety risk for family violence victims and their children. The advisor must explain and offer the family violence option at each application and redetermination.
Options for explaining good cause:
- In face-to-face interviews, advisors must:
- explain Form H1712, Explanation of Child/Medical Support, Family Violence and Good Cause, and give a copy of the form to the individual;
- review Part I of Form H1713, Service Plan for Family Violence Option and Report of Good Cause, with the individual; and
- if the individual wants to claim good cause, make an assessment referral to a family violence specialist at a nearby family violence service provider.
A list of family violence shelters is located at www.hhsc.state.tx.us/Help/family-violence/centers.shtml. Only a family violence specialist can recommend good cause relating to family violence.
The advisor can make the referral in the following ways:
- The individual has a confidential telephone interview from the local eligibility determination office with the family violence specialist.
- The individual arranges to meet with the family violence specialist. The advisor gives Form H1706, Good Cause Recommendation, to the individual and tells the individual to contact a family violence service provider to speak with a family violence specialist. The individual must explain the need to claim good cause for not complying with TANF or Medicaid child support and medical support requirements and request a good cause recommendation.
After the family violence specialist makes the good cause determination, the family violence specialist completes Form H1706 and can either mail, fax or send the form back with the individual to HHSC.
- In phone interviews, advisors must:
- Explain Form H1712 and give a copy of the form to the individual.
- Complete Part I of Form H1713 and mail it to the individual along with the following forms:
- Form H1706, Good Cause Recommendation
- Form H0050, Parent Profile Questionnaire
(Note: Tell the individual that HHSC does not require Form H0050 if the individual is granted good cause.)
- Tell the individual to contact a family violence service provider to speak with a family violence specialist. A list of family violence shelters is located at www.hhsc.state.tx.us/Help/family-violence/centers.shtml. If no shelter serves the individual's area, give the individual the National Domestic Violence Hotline number [1-800-799-7233 (1-800-799-SAFE) or 1-800-787-3324 TTY for individuals who are deaf] to help the individual locate the closest family violence service provider.
- Have the individual explain the need for claiming good cause and for not complying with TANF or Medicaid child support and medical support requirements and request a good cause recommendation. The individual arranges to speak with the family violence specialist.
After the family violence specialist makes the good cause determination, the family violence specialist completes Form H1706 and can either mail, fax or send the form back with the individual to HHSC.
Advisors must remind the individual that HHSC requires a completed Form H0050 if the family violence specialist determines there is not good cause or the individual decides not to pursue good cause. If the individual does not pursue good cause, the individual must complete and return Form H0050 or provide absent parent information before the advisor disposes the TANF and/or Medicaid EDG.
Advisors must allow the individual 10 days to return Form H1706, Form H1713 and Form H0050 (if required). HHSC keeps copies of Form H1706 and Form H1713 in the electronic case record.
The advisor:
- completes Part II and Part III of Form H1713,
- sends a copy to the local child support office, and
- sends a copy to the family violence coordinator via one of the following methods to report the final decision:
- Interagency mail: Family Violence Coordinator, Mail Code 2010
- Regular mail:
Family Violence Coordinator
909 W. 45th St., Mail Code 2010
Austin, TX 78751
- Email: email@example.com (completed and scanned documents only)
Once the good cause claim has been established, advisors re-evaluate the claim at each redetermination. If the individual is no longer claiming good cause, advisors should update the absent parent referral by removing the good cause indicator to allow the OAG to help the family get child support and/or medical support services for their children. If the individual continues to claim good cause, advisors continue to allow good cause.
A—1131.2 Good Cause Related to Adoptions, Rape or Incest
TANF and TP 08
If an individual claims good cause based on an adoption, rape or incest, advisors must allow individuals 20 days to provide evidence. Extend the deadline for evidence if additional time is needed to obtain the necessary information. Document the reason for extending the deadline and obtain supervisory approval. Flag the case and evaluate the evidence when you receive it and recommend that the individual:
- has good cause for not cooperating and the OAG should not continue child support locate and enforcement efforts; or
- does not have good cause for not cooperating and OAG should continue child support locate and enforcement efforts.
Note: For adoption situations, the issue must not have been under discussion for more than three months. If the issue is unresolved beyond the third month, staff must update the absent parent referral.
A—1140 Noncooperation with Child Support Program Requirements
TANF and TP 08
At initial certification and redetermination or incomplete reviews, determine if the individual failed to cooperate with child support requirements.
Determine noncooperation when:
- an individual fails to cooperate with child support requirements without good cause (See A-1120, Child Support Program Requirements and Procedures, for individual responsibilities.); or
- HHSC receives a Form H1708-A, Report of Noncooperation, from OAG cia the weekly interface.
Medical Programs except TP 08
There is no penalty for noncooperation. Do not take any action on an individual who volunteers to receive child and medical support services but later noncomplies.
A—1141 Sanctions for Noncooperation
Adult TANF recipients, second parents and minor parents certified as adults, payees or disqualified adults are required to sign Form H1073, Personal Responsibility Agreement (PRA), and cooperate with child support requirements. Failure to do so results in a full-family sanction. If the TANF recipient or payee has more than one TANF EDG and fails to cooperate with child support requirements, the sanction applies to all their TANF EDGs. See A-2140, Full-Family Sanction, and A-2150, Pay for Performance.
TANF and TP 08
The Child Support Division of the OAG notifies HHSC via a weekly interface when an individual fails to cooperate with child support or medical support. Upon receipt of the notice of child support noncooperation, HHSC must take action to process the noncooperation within five workdays. See A-2140 and A-2150.
Adults, second parents and minor parents certified as adults receiving TP 08 must cooperate in establishing medical support and child support. Failure to cooperate with requirements results in the noncooperating adult losing medical coverage.
Deny a noncooperating adult's TP 08 EDG if the individual is the only certified household member. Disqualify a noncooperating adult on a TP 08 EDG if more than one adult is certified. See A-1142, Noncooperation Situations.
Note: OAG has established procedures to allow HHSC individuals the opportunity to cooperate within 30 days when the noncooperation resulted from a missed court date.
Medical Programs except TP 08
Recipients applying for Children's Medicaid programs, including TP 40 for a pregnant teen under age 19, are not required to cooperate with child support requirements. Therefore, there is no penalty for noncooperation. Recipients may volunteer for child support services.
A—1142 Noncooperation Situations
TANF and TP 08
|If a child support noncooperation is received on ...
|and the household does not have good cause, then ...
|a denied EDG in a TANF cash benefit month,
Note: If the household fails to cooperate by the last calendar day of the second month, they will be subject to pay for performance requirements when they reapply for TANF.
|a denied case in a non-TANF cash benefit month,
|no action is required.
|an active TANF or TP 08 EDG, the month after the child is no longer in the home, and the noncooperation date is after the date the child was removed from the EDG,
no further action is required.
|an EDG already sanctioned for a child support noncooperation on a different absent parent,
|TIERS sends Form TF0001 advising the household of the noncooperation and how to cooperate.
Note: The Office of the Attorney General will not issue Form H1701, Child Support, TANF Foster Care and TANF/Medicaid Case Information Exchange, until the individual cures all noncooperations.
|an active TP 08 EDG,
refer to A-2140, Full-Family Sanction, to impose a full-family sanction. If the household fails to cure the noncooperation before the last day of the second noncooperation month, they will need to reapply under pay for performance.
Note: Determine if the individual has good cause for not cooperating with child support requirements using policy in A-1130, Explanation of Good Cause. If the individual has good cause, do not impose a full-family sanction.

Remember Me
For the Valentines Day show on Thursday, Skerik was
dressed in his finest devil outfit and Lowe was
wearing a black kilt with knee-high black socks. The
show started in funk mode with Skerik on keys
complimenting Weinstein's textures. Skerik then
introduced the night's itinerary; the first set would
be about despair and broken hearts with the second set
being about real, true love. I was not sure whether
the first group of songs were originals or covers
(Monk?), but they reached the toe-tapping, utter
despair of broken hearts. In one jazz piece
(Mingus?), Skerik was hunched over screaming into the
sax mike; with his horn and devil horns he cast a
demonic shadow on the wall. A fog machine started up,
and with an initial crowd of 30 people, it was like
watching a world-class band in your basement.
Weinstein's B3 sent the Rainbow rumbling, Skerik made
frantic noises, but the Stone-Lowe rhythm combo made
their jazz-deconstruction strangely danceable.
A sampled loop of Ted Nugent's "Strangle Hold" led the
next jazz-fueled jam excursion. Skerik gave a
narration of Ted Nugent speaking into a video camera
about hunting a "semi-wild, somewhat animate" buffalo
in his private hunting lodge known as Michigan ("hit
by my crossbow, the buffalo now slumps awkwardly into
the bushes"). In response, Skerik urged the crowd to
hit Ted with Cupid's crossbow. Several jazz pieces
that we could not quite place (but we can hum a few
bars) led into a furious version of "Territorial
Pissings" that would have made Kurt proud. In theme
with Valentines Day, free champagne was then served,
with "Cat Scratch Fever" and James Brown providing break
music. The Rainbow filled up to about half of its
Opening the second set, Skerik went back on his word
and stated the set would be about "the usual Crack
Sabbath subjects- death, despair and pain." A guest
vocalist went on stage to sing and vogue to "My Funny
Valentine," which turned into a wicked groove improv. The
Thursday crowd began dancing at the hot funky set.
"Charlie Dozen," a Dirty Dozen Brass Band cover, was
tight. As the lights came on, Lowe led the band into
"Frankenstein," a definite crowd pleaser, but strangely
tamer than the previous excursions. Several folks
claimed it was the best Crack Sabbath show they had seen, and we
wondered if they could top it the next night.
Friday the Rainbow was packed, 2-3 times as many as
the previous night. Crack Sabbath started without theatrics into
a straight-up Miles Davis (?) song and had newcomers
thinking they were seeing an evening of standard jazz.
However, the jazz segued into two raging classic rock
themes before segueing back into another Miles song.
A friend came in at this point and, having no CS
background, claimed the music was "more accessible
than Critters Buggin." I thought the next song was
possibly Iron Maiden, but the wife told me it was
Herbie Hancock. CS then segued into what I consider
their two signature jazz cover songs (sorry- can't
place them), sending the dense crowd bopping and swaying to
the infectious rhythm section but blowing the doors
off the place. I consider a "hose" to be out when the
audience starts howling and cheering at the same time,
and the Rainbow joined together for several
spontaneous roars. Just when you though it could not
possibly get any more chaotic or crazy it went faster
and crazier; it was seizure inducing. His hair flying,
Stone pounded beats, Keith filtered his lead bass
through a loop machine, Skerik was Skerik, and
Weinstein filled every inch of the Rainbow with
soaring B3 gospel. Transcendent. A well-placed
cool-down "Tomorrow Never Knows" followed. We figured
this would be the logical set break, but Skerik yelled
"I don't want to take a break!" and invited up
dread locked Brad Mowen (Sweaty Nipples) to do vocals on another smoking
Nirvana cover. This segued into a heavy metal jam
where Brad made twisted pig noises and sang "I'm
ma-kin ba-kin, I'm mak-in out with my daad" in Rob
Zombie heavy metal voice into the effects mike. It
was as if some group insanity had been reached,
comfort zones abandoned, and the crowd was now
head-banging in-synch. I have not seen such a
well-executed, virtuoso freak-out in some time, and
yet Lowe and Stone never lost the groove. What
better to next segue into than a roaring version of
the classic, "Caravan"? I asked my friend if this
was still "accessible" and he responded, "I had no
idea- this is like hitting the jackpot."
The last set opened with a surprise blues song
that featured several Seattle guests. Guitarist Tim
Young (Zony Mash) stayed through the short second set,
filling in as lead while Skerik acted as band leader,
directing his players into some all out ferocious
jams. Brad was called back up for vocal duties on the
last song, "War Pigs." You have never
heard Black Sabbath until you have heard it filtered
through the twisted jazz of Crack Sabbath (including
the long lost "Joker and Batman" lyrics). Although
messier and murkier than the previous night, the
show's intensity and oddities elevated it to legendary
status. The elated crowd left eager to spread the
word and await their next fix with the addiction that
is Crack Sabbath. There is no substitute.

The letter by Charles Chick Keller "Let science make the call on climate," Jan 5, 2010 was welcomed by me. I was waiting for an opinion by a local scientist in this science-rich town of Los Alamos.
I agree that the warming is real, but the statement that there has been " no warming in the past eight years," is pretty mild when the data shows a cooling trend that is equivalent to 2 degrees Celsius per century. How long does this go on before we change our minds about global warming?
Do we hope for the sunspot cycle to pull us back in 10 years or the Pacific Decadal Oscillation in 30 years?
Also, the statement that "the average northern hemisphere is significantly warmer than medieval times," makes one wonder why everyone hasn't bought land in Greenland and started grape farming again.
I don't believe that it has yet been scientifically proven that global warming is caused by man. When scientists figure out cloud theory, maybe we will have more answers. A start may be Henrick Svensmark's, "The Cloud Mystery."

Protect, restore, connect our Great Dividing Range
Right now our government can't see the forest for the trees.
They claim only people who live right next to big polluting coal mines will feel the impacts – and that other voices shouldn't count.
But the world doesn't work that way. We are all connected by the web of life. A giant coal mine in the Galilee Basin would impact – not just the local environment – but communities all along the Great Dividing Range, and beyond.
So many Australians get it. The futures of our unique wildlife, the places we love, and our communities are inextricably linked.
That's why we're launching a long term effort to protect, restore and connect our Great Dividing Range.
Read ACF's Range report. Watch a stunning short film about the Range.
Just like the Reef, the Kimberley and Tassie's magnificent forests, the Range is vital to life in Australia. Almost three-quarters of Australian people and most of our threatened animals live alongside its mountain corridor.
The dense forests keep our air clean. The rivers and water catchments are the lifeblood for millions of Australians. And as the world warms, the Range is a vital refuge for people and wildlife.
Communities up and down the Range and all over the country are doing incredible work locally – like the everyday heroes of our video – Stanley, Peter and Deanne.
People care deeply about nature but governments are failing in their duty of care. Whether it's a coal mine in the Galilee Basin, gas mining in the Kimberley or logging in Tasmania's magnificent forests – all Australians should have a say in projects that risk our shared future.
The natural systems that support life in Australia are too big and complex to manage in bite-sized pieces.
Together, we can weave your local efforts in with a national approach to the big issues. Then life will thrive – not in one or two places – but all along the Range and across the country.
Get inspired: watch and share these three beautiful stories of hope and connection along the Range.
This weekend, I encourage you to reconnect with a place you love.
Take a walk in the mountains. Listen to the bush symphony. Camp with the kids. Take a long, cool drink of clean water from your city tap.
I grew up on the Hawkesbury River which flows down out of the Range. It's my heartland. I bet you've got a place like that too.
This is extraordinary. Rattled by the Federal Court overturning approval of the Carmichael Coal Mine, the government plans to rush a bill through Parliament tomorrow to rip out the laws that allow Australians to challenge dangerous projects – like new coal mines – in court.
Our national nature protection laws were introduced by the Howard government to provide sensible checks and balances.
Yet our Prime Minister calls the Mackay Conservation Group's legitimate legal challenge to the Carmichael Coal Mine sabotage. And Attorney-General George Brandis calls environment groups vigilantes.
The Australian Government wants to make it easier for big polluters to pollute and damage life, and harder for Australia to become powered by clean renewable energy. We want a society powered by clean energy that protects life and empowers communities.
Thankfully, many people and communities are willing to speak up for the places and wildlife they love and depend on.
The Place You Love alliance – who I stood with at an emergency press conference this morning – represents 1.5 million Australians.
We're working together to mobilise supporters and you have a critical role to play as a part of this huge alliance. It's time to up the ante. You've emailed Minister Hunt, and now we're moving to a channel that's much harder to ignore – phone calls.
Will you call your local Member of Parliament and tell them you care about protecting our land, water and wildlife? Say you want them to protect the communities' legal right to challenge government decisions to approve massive coal projects that fuel global warming and damage life.
Tens of thousands of ACF supporters took action last week, so together, we can get the calls rolling in to Members of Parliament all across the country.
It's just a small handful of politicians – fuelled by greedy coal lobby groups – who are trying to take away the voice of our communities.
Today's action by the Abbott Government is part of the big polluters campaign to revoke environment groups' charity status and remove your ability to give tax deductible donations and raise funds to challenge big polluters. The Abbott Government is using the language of terrorism to describe reasonable people working within the laws of our country.
The Guardian said the Abbott government war on green 'saboteurs' is Laurel and Hardy slapstick – but the consequences are severe.
National environmental law exists for a reason – to protect life, land, water and wildlife.
The truth is our national environment law, the EPBC Act, has prompted very little court action. While more than 5000 projects have been referred under this law, only 27 have been brought before the court for judicial review.
Governments should welcome public transparency and scrutiny of polluting and damaging industrial developments.
The Australian Government's extreme reaction to the Federal Court's decision against the development of the Carmichael Coal Mine make it clear it's time for a new generation of environmental laws. We need a healthy and robust nature protection framework that can't be exploited by big polluters.
To find out more about the campaign, you can listen to my interview with ABC radio this morning.
Local people have the courage to protect the places, water and wildlife Australians love and depend on from the big polluters. And it's up to us to keep this right alive.
Will you make an urgent phone call today to your representative in Parliament? Tell them you're from their electorate and you want them to protect Australia's environmental law.
Thanks for all you do!
It's rare an opportunity arises to change the course of a nation.
But right now Federal Minister for the Environment, Greg Hunt, has that opportunity right before of him.
In the last week, a whopping 22,669 of you wrote to Minister Hunt asking him to reject Adani's Carmichael Coal Mine once and for all.
Now, we're asking him to prove he's the Minister for the Environment, not the Minister against the Environment, with targeted newspaper ads in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Australian.
Will you chip in $10 now to give Minister Hunt a wakeup call with his morning coffee tomorrow?
Minister Hunt's approval of Adani's giant coal mine makes a mockery of our national environmental laws. And his continued support for the mine, despite clear community opposition shows he is out of step with the Australian people.
The evidence is clear. The Carmichael Coal Mine would be a colossal mistake for our environment.
Just $10 from you will help us reach our goal of $40,000 to place ads in the daily papers tomorrow.
Together, let's ask Minister Hunt – are you the Minister for the environment or the Minister against the environment?

Men's Carhartt Contractor's Work Pocket T - shirt is rated out of 5 by 4.Rated 5 out of 5 by TYLER from Great lightweight t shirt. Bought a second. They run a little on the big side but most Carhartt shirts I've had do. Love itDate published: 2013-09-11Rated 5 out of 5 by GERALD L. from The shirts are good in the hot, humid weatherDate published: 2013-06-10Rated 5 out of 5 by Paradox00 from Nice, Soft, Durable, Midweight Shirt Great medium weight t-shirt, they look nice, and appear to be well made. Fall right between the Lightweight and Regular Short-Sleeve Pocket T-Shirts (which are a fairly heavy material). This shirt is a bit slimmer, but I would say true to size, I find the popular Lightweight Pocket T runs a size large, guess it depends what you're use to with fit and size (although in my latest order I have shirts sized Large, Medium, and Small) all of which fit, and no the smalls are not "tight". So if you are on the line with sizes, especially in the other versions of this T, you may want to size up. I am 6' ,165lbs and I find this shirt fits well with room to work. I also like the fabric it seems durable, and feels nice against the skin, where I find the Lightweight Pocket T a bit corse.Carhartt add some more colors, I can't wear a black shirt landscaping too hot, but white/gray a wear or two and too dirty.Date published: 2012-03-25Rated 1 out of 5 by emedrf from Small I buy & wear XXL shirts. I ordered one of these in XXL I could hardly get it over my shoulders.Date published: 2012-03-06

The report cited numerous causes for the crisis and offers lengthy recommendations on improving maternal health care.
Inadequate prenatal care is cited as a contributing factor in the crisis; women who do not get prenatal care are three to four times more likely to die than women who do. In Oklahoma, one in five women (22.4 percent) receives delayed or no prenatal care. The number rises to nearly one in three women (30.6 percent) among women of color.
Obstacles to care are widespread: the most obvious being that across the United States nearly 13 million women of reproductive age (15 to 44), or one in five, have no health insurance. In Oklahoma nearly one in four women (24.0 percent) is uninsured; among women of color the number of uninsured climbs to 33.6 percent, one in three. The state's Medicaid eligibility level for
