*Please note that the information on this website is intended as a guide only. Each case is unique and context-specific. Legal advice should be sought in regards to your family issue. Provincial and territorial legislation on family law policy and legislation will differ from province to province.

In 1996, the Canadian Government instituted Child Support Guidelines to assist in child support issues. Many provinces in Canada have enacted legislation to ensure that provincial statutes adhere to these guidelines. It is always best to check with an experienced family law lawyer in your area to determine what practices your province follows, and how those practices affect you.
The Child Support guidelines require that a Judge make an order for child support based upon the established guidelines. The judge will examine criteria on various income categories to determine what must be paid. There is also room to allow for additional expenses which are to be adjusted in the income calculations. There are separate guidelines for split or shared custody, along with a descriptor on how to accurately calculate a payer's income. The purpose of this measurement is designed to bring certainty and validity to what must be paid and received for child support.
For easy access please click the link for Child Support Guidelines. The Guidelines can also be downloaded from the Department of Justice's Internet site.
No. Payments under the Child Support Guidelines are not taxable. Payments are neither taxable for the party paying the support nor the party receiving the support.
Since the Child Support Guidelines are not retroactive (ie: they took effect in May 1997), agreements made before this date are not affected. Agreements made prior to this date can opt into the new Guidelines if both parties decide to do so.
Under the Divorce Act, yes. The guidelines will apply to any application for child support in a divorce proceeding or an existing application made after May 1997.
For provinces which do not follow the Divorce Act legislation (ie: Quebec), alternative legislation is put into place. If you are unsure of which legislation applies to you, it is best to get in touch with a qualified family law lawyer in your area.
Yes. Revenue Canada has a form for both parties to sign stating that the new tax rules will apply to their agreement or court order beginning after May 1997. However, once parties have opted into the new guidelines, they cannot opt out.
Payment schedules can be found at the Provincial Payment Tables section of the Department of Justice's Internet site. While there is not a lot of variation from province to province, the different tables take different provincial taxes into consideration.
No. Scheduled payments are dependent on income and will vary as such. If a change in income occurs, an increase or a decrease to the payment schedule is typically granted.
There are 4 categories of special child-related expenses which the court can add to the table amounts if the judge finds that they are "reasonable and necessary" in light of the needs of the children and the means of the parents. The 4 categories are:
For starters, different rules apply to these situations and you need to be sure which of the two apply to you.
"Split" custody is the situation where there is more than one child and each spouse has custody of one or more of them. That is, the custody of the children is spread out, or split, between the two parents.
"Shared" custody is "where a spouse exercises a right of access to, or has physical custody of, a child for not less than 40 per cent of the time over the course of a year". This is a new term for family law lawyers and it is not yet clear how this will be interpreted. For example, there is considerable uncertainty over how the courts will be figuring out what "40 per cent of the time over the course of a year" means. Does this include time when the children are in school or away at summer camp? Is there a difference if the camp is a day camp or an overnight camp? If the camp is paid for jointly, will the time there be counted equally?
For practical purposes where there is split custody the courts will figure out how much each parent would have had to pay for child support if the child was in the custody of the other and then subtract the smaller payment from the larger one to figure out the difference. The parent who would have had to make the larger payment will then pay the "difference" to the other as the proper amount of child support. Once this is calculated, the court will then look at the "add ons" to see who should be paying whom for those.
So the first step is to figure out the difference in child support each parent would pay if the child was in the custody of the other parent and then figure out who should pay how much to whom for the special or extraordinary expenses ("add ons").
Where there is shared custody the situation is different and more complicated. The Guidelines provide as follows:
Where a spouse exercises a right of access to, or has physical custody of, a child for not less than 40 per cent of the time over the course of a year, the amount of the child support order must be determined by taking into account:
As a result, where there is shared custody the court must determine what each parent would have had to pay for child support if the child was in the care of the other, then determine what the "increased" costs would be because of the "shared custody arrangements" and then take into consideration the "condition, means, needs and other circumstances of each spouse and of any child for whom the support is being sought." It is this last step which will create the greatest amount of uncertainty because it seems to put the courts back into the position before the Guidelines of looking into the "conditions, means needs and other circumstances of each spouse" as well as for the child. The specific wording makes it definitive that in the case of shared parenting. The court will analyze to a lot more than the gross income of the non-custodial parent and will analyze the income and circumstances of the other spouse.
Yes. There are lots of sites available for information about the new Child Support legislation, including information about the changes to the Income Tax Act and the Divorce Act as well as the Tables setting out the amount that should be paid for support depending upon the income of the payer, the number of children, and other factors.

(CBS/AP) — For a second consecutive day, one of the two major-party candidates for president was in the Chicago area.
Democrat Hillary Clinton made stops at two private Chicago fundraisers, one day after Donald Trump raised money in Bolingbrook.
The first, at which individual tickets cost $2,700 and a table $33,400, took place at the Hyatt Regency Chicago hotel. The second, a stop at the Gold Coast home of ContextMedia CEO Rishi Shah was priced even higher — $50,000 a plate or $150,000 to co-sponsor.
The media were barred from both appearances. But Clinton spoke with pool reporters at Midway Airport.
She shrugged off Trump's reference at a New Hampshire campaign stop to her husband's impeachment, saying, "He can say whatever he wants to say," and said she intends to keep "talking about what I think the American people are interested in."
Clinton told reporters a Newsweek report alleging that Trump may have violated the Cuban trade embargo in the late 1990s is more evidence that he puts his interests ahead of the country's.
And one day after Libertarian Gary Johnson could not name one world leader he respects in a cable television interview, Clinton said she has lots of favorite world leaders.
She singled out German Chancellor Angela Merkel, saying, "Her leadership and steadiness on the Euro crisis and her bravery in the face of the refugee crisis is something that I am impressed by," adding that she hoped to work with Merkel.

Substantial genetic variation is found in weedy rice (Oryza sativa f. spontanea Roshev.) populations from different rice-planting regions with the change of farming styles. To determine the association of such genetic variation with rice farming changes is critical for understanding the adaptive evolution of weedy rice. We studied weedy-rice specific novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) by genome-wide comparison between DNA sequences of weedy and cultivated rice, in addition to polymerase chain reaction fingerprinting at 22 selected novel SNP loci in weedy rice populations. A great number of novel SNPs were identified across the weedy rice genome. High frequencies of the novel SNPs were determined at the 22 selected loci, although with considerable variation among weedy rice populations in different rice-planting regions. The highest frequency (∼57%) of novel SNPs was identified in weedy rice populations from Jiangsu that experienced the most dramatic changes in rice farming styles, including the shift from transplanting to direct seeding, and from indica to japonica varieties. The lowest frequency (∼29%) was detected in weedy rice populations from Northeast China, where rice farming has undergone relatively less change. The association between frequencies of novel SNPs in weedy rice populations and the extent of changes in rice farming styles suggests the critical role of adaptive mutation and accumulation of the mutation influenced by human activities in the rapid evolution of weedy rice.

Hi folks,
I'm delighted to say that Will has offered to let me run this forum in his absence and I'll be putting up weekly posts about the Sky game, hopefully continuing on the great work Will has done in the past few years. I know Will's posts have helped many of us and I hope mine can do the same.
A little bit of background, I'm Lewis, I've been playing the Sky game for 4 or 5 seasons now, with some pretty solid results; a top 50 overall finish in 14/15 the clear highlight. Last season wasn't quite so good but I think last season was one of the most difficult ever with so few players performing outside of the obvious (that all the leaders already had!). You'll find me on the Sky Fantasy Football Forum on Facebook as well as @lewinick on Twitter.
This is how my team is looking at the moment:
Season Points: 582
Overall position: 119
Transfers remaining: 31
My season so far:
Overall I'm obviously very happy with the way things have gone. I've never had such a fast start in the Sky game and I have the new captaincy rules are mostly to thank for that:
GWK 1: Aguero 14, Ibra 14, Hazard 26
GWK 2: Ibra 34, Aguero 28, Payet 0GWK 3: Ibra 2, Aguero 2
GWK 5: Ibra 16, Hazard 2, Lukaku 50
GWK 6: Hazard 4, Sterling 26, Kane 22
GWK 7: Aguero 34, Tadic 20, Holebas -2
GWK 8: Lukaku 14, Firmino 22, Ibra 6
As you can see from the above I've struck nicely at least 2 of 3 captains per week aside from GWK3. Those captain performances in partnership with solid scores from ever-presents, Fuchs, Cech and Gueye have set my team up nicely.
I'm pretty happy with most of the moves I've made so far, particularly gambling on Sterling (c) in GWK6, and spending a vanity transfer on Firmino (c) at the last minute in GWK8 when I had been set to go with Capoue (c). What have been your best moves of the season so far?
With 9 transfers used I'm hoping my team will remain settled over the coming weeks up until the busy Christmas period where there are always injuries and some rotation to deal with. In an ideal world my GK & 3 DEF will all stay fit and I won't spend many more transfers there, I've luckily only had to use one there so far, Holebas in for the inevitably dropped Nsue. My main area of concern for now is Arsenal coverage – more on that next week.
I definitely feel that the new captaincy rules make transfers less valuable this season, since we don't necessarily need to spend them to move captains in & out. I will aim to have a captain on every single matchday going forward, though Stoke v Swansea on 31/10 may be the exception to that. What's your captain strategy going to be going forward? More from me on this in my GWK preview next week.
How have you starts been? Leave a comment below…
I'll be back in the middle of next week, when this hellish International break is over…

Internationalization of curriculum provides an opportunity for faculty to infuse an international dimension into their courses and to share their project results with others online or through events and seminars. It has become increasingly important for students and faculty to develop a global perspective to effectively compete in a global economy.
Why Internationalize?
Internationalizing the curriculum has many benefits including enlarging the pool of faculty and administrators conversant in international issues. Increased exposure to faculty with overseas knowledge and experience creates a greater awareness and interest on the part of students in world affairs. This exposure heightens awareness of diversity issues on campus for both faculty and students and opens the door to new ideas, research, and colleagues overseas.
Get Involved
In order for internationalization to succeed on at MCC, teaching faculty as well as administrators must be involved. Here are some resources that will assist with involving the teaching faculty in the process of Internationalization. Visit the CIEE's International Faculty Development Seminars website to learn about some great learning opportunities.
Consider joining the campus-wide Global Education Committee to get involved in internationalization initiatives. Internationalizing your curriculum fosters creativity and flexibility and can help prepare your students to be aware of global issues. Additional benefits include engaging your students in authentic, critical global & international issues that develops skills, global perspectives, and attitudes.
If you are interested in incorporating international components in your classes, review the syllabi from faculty at Portland Community College to learn how international studies are being integrated into their courses of study.

The Cover Story
Summer is a special season in the Harbor Springs area filled with glorious color. Artist Kathleen Hrabak's cover image for this year's Visitors Guide captures a typical gorgeous summer day in this painting "Summer on Little Traverse Bay."
Kathleen started her education as a fine art major in college but graduated with a degree in horticulture.
She has worked in horticulture and art but her longest experience has been in the arts. She was co-owner of Boyer Glassworks Studio and Gallery in Harbor Springs from 1984-2013. Since 1992, Kathleen has concentrated on painting as her primary focus. Oil is her favorite medium, although she often uses watercolor and has experimented recently in mixed media and sculpture.
Kathleen grew up in Toledo, Ohio and spent a good deal of time at The Toledo Museum of Art. She has been heavily influenced by their collection of Renaissance and Impressionistic art which is reflected in her paintings and art glass designs. "I love the texture of oil paint and I use it heavily when I can," she said. "The natural world in Northern Michigan and my own garden are often the subjects of my paintings. I paint what I know; family, dogs, still life, water, snow, trees and flowers."

The first Deputy Governor of Anambra state, and National Vice President of Action Congress of Nigeria, Dr Chuddy Nwike, who was kidnapped three weeks ago has been killed by his abductors.
This was confirmed by the Anambra state chapter of the party. A statement by the state publicity secretary, Okelo Madukaife, read in part:
"With a heart full of pain and sorrow, Action Congress of Nigeria, Anambra State Chapter, after consultation with the Nwike Family of Azu Ogbunike, Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra State announces the death murder of Dr Chuddy Nwike, Ibolo Ogbunike, First Deputy Governor of Anambra State and National Vice President of the Action Congress of Nigeria (South East).
"Dr Nwike's body has been identified by our State Chairman, Chief Amaechi Obidike, our State Secretary, Barr Emeka Ibe and his brother Dr Bufo Nwike at Agbor Police Station in Delta State.
"Dr Nwike, who became Deputy Governor of Anambra State under Gov Chukwuemeka Ezeife in 1991, was abducted by gunmen on March 19, 2013 by suspected kidnappers.
"But rather than release the ex-Deputy Governor, the kidnappers seized the money and the courier on April 05, 2013, cutting off all communication, until the body was found.
The spokesman noted that "All efforts and all contacts made by our party to relevant authorities had not yielded any dividend and have surprisingly not even drawn any concern from quarters we took for granted.
"We worked and prayed to see Dr Nwike return safe and alive to continue contributing as he has been doing to our party, but we have not. We toiled and moiled to see our South East National Vice Chairman, play his traditional fatherly role in the tasks immediately before us.
"But we are crest-fallen that Dr Nwike as gone the way of all mortals, though in a way we would have wished away.
ACN said it is ashamed of the circumstances of the death of its high-ranking member and wish that it could now erase from history the circumstance that led to the death of the former Deputy Governor of a State in Nigeria.
"Our leader Dr Chris Nwabueze Ngige mourns, our committed party faithfuls weep and our overwhelming supporters wail, but Dr Nwike,Ibolo Ogbunike ,distinguished medical Doctor, calculative politician and quintessential statesman is no more.
Madukaife added that "Since the security agencies did not succeed in tracking down Anambra's Deputy Governor in life, we urge them to rise and smash all obstacles on the way to unearthing the abductors and killers of ACN's rare gem, an embodiment of peace and knowledge.
"We urge them to leave no stone unturned and not be beaten by any decoy until the nation has the right answers to the nagging questions. For we may know who will it be next?, the statement concluded.
"According to the family, the suspected kidnappers made contact with his brother Dr Bufo Nwike shortly after with a ransom demand of N30 million equivalent, delivered in US Dollars. The young Dr Nwike, negotiated the sum to N5 million which was delivered to a location in Delta State through a courier on Friday April 05, 2013,after rejecting the offer for the wife or the brother to deliver the money.

2013 Miss Hong Kong Pageant: First Round Interviews
By katrine on June 10, 2013 in Hot Gossip!, NEWS
Above: 2013 Miss Hong Kong applicants: Virginir , Sisley, and Gloria.
On June 10, over 130 Miss Hong Kong pageant hopefuls were invited to TVB City for first round interviews. The applicants appeared in little makeup and many opted to wear casual outfits to the event. As this is the first major public event of the pageant, many contestants gladly posed for reporters and answered questions, hoping for a positive write-up. While most complied with media requests, some were more shy and hid behind sunglasses and face masks to avoid being identified.
For the initial audition, the contestants were required to wear bikinis and face a judging panel consisting of TVB executives Sandy Yue (余詠珊), Virginia Lok (樂易玲), K.C. Ho (何冠中), Executive Producers Wai Sai Fai (衛世輝), Chan Yuk Leung (陳旭亮), and Art Director Karen Chan (陳惠英).
Several candidates immediately grabbed the media's attention due to their good looks and sexy physiques. One of the major stand-outs was Sisley, a student from Germany. Sisley was very enthusiastic and outgoing, and immediately took the initiative to speak with reporters upon arrival. She appeared in a black, see-through lace top and black bra, causing reporters to yell "Sexy Baby!" and granting her the nickname "Germany Bra Girl".
Another media favorite was Virginir (劉溫馨), a voluptuous girl with a sweet face who reporters likened to Karena Ng (吳千語). Virginir attended the interview in a form-revealing pink dress and spoke Cantonese with a slight accent. She was also accompanied by her mother, who seemed overly protective of her daughter, grilling the audition crew repeatedly before allowing Virginir to step onto the contestants' bus.
Several others who caught the media's attention included: "D Cup Bowie Tsang (曾寶儀)", who wore a tight, light blue dress that showed plenty of cleavage; "Tanned Candy Lo (盧巧音)", whose real name is Gloria and appeared in a black one-shoulder dress, displaying her full bust line; and Zoe, nicknamed "Chocolate Myolie (胡杏兒)", who sported an elegant black and white dress and a refreshing short haircut. Zoe appeared very confident, and was quite flirtatious to the press. Reporters also spotted Katherine (魏嘉琳), a former host for TVB Entertainment News, at the interview.

I like to do handwork, especially wool applique projects, and I have discovered that Valdani over-dyed floss is my favorite fiber to use for stitching.
I've been using the "Scent of Flowers" set of nine balls of floss (A15413). I have worked on several projects since I got it, and this little box of floss ALWAYS has the perfect colors for whatever I am working on. I have since gotten a boxed set of size 12 pearl cotton and can't wait to use it!
The Valdani products we carry are over-dyed floss and pearl cotton. We have individual colors as well as sets in both the floss and pearl size 12. All Valdani products are hand dyed and guaranteed to be colorfast. They offer solids, but it's the over-dyed colors that really excite me.
Beautiful shades that flow from one into the next create subtle effects in your handwork. I like being able to choose one shade of green, for example, for all the colors of wool leaves that I am stitching. As the floss changes colors, the stitches appear and disappear on each fabric depending on its color. This is an easy way to add visual interest to any project.
The balls of floss are three strands, rather than the six we are used to, and the ball seems to last forever! I find I have no tangles when unwinding floss from the ball (versus a skein). I most often use two strands for my work, going to a single strand when I'm stitching very small pieces. Valdani started doing three strand floss for punch needle projects, so you wouldn't have to separate strands for your tool. The floss is great for so many handwork projects!
The Valdani pearl cotton gives another option, and is useful when your applique pieces are medium size or larger. You can't separate strands like you can with floss, so you don't have that versatility, but then again you don't have to worry about the strands separating while you stitch. The pearl stands out a bit more, so if you are doing decorative stitching that you want to be seen, the pearl is great for that.
The Valdani fibers may cost a bit more, but they are SO worth it! Give them a try, I'm guessing you'll love them as much as I do!

Hi cbird. How do you like the Newform? I am an Apogee junkie. the Apogees are the direct ancestors to the Newform. I have a Pass Labs X 150 powering an Apogee Duetta Signature in my present set up. The X series are perfect for more laid back ribbons, but for the Newform I would go for the Alephs. You just can't go wrong with these. They have a lush detailed mid and treble band that are just perfect for lively ribbons. They are class A, big and heavy. I don't know anything about the Clayton, but Pass designs always go for the simplest layout in order to preserve the true character of the music and not color it one way or another. Hope this helps.
clayton s40 vs. pass aleph 3 or 5
Looking for a new solid state amp to power my audio physic step se's and maybe even my newforms if there's enough juice. Have heard numerous good things about each line though I've had a hard time finding someone who has actually experienced the clayton. Anyone whose experienced one or both lines could save me a lot of postage.

PropNex's unwavering commitment to service excellence has seen it break new grounds in the real estate arena time and time again. In just a few years, the company has created several industry-firsts and clinched numerous awards.
CEO Ismail Gafoor wins the Spirit of Enterprise Nexia - TS Entrepreneur of the Year (EOY)
One of Singapore's most prestigious business awards, this unique award recognises the contribution of those who inspire others with their vision, leadership and achievement; and embraces the drive and ambitious spirit of local entrepreneurs.
PropNex Realty has clinched the top spot in Brand Alliance's 2015 (real estate agency category) list of Most Influential Brands in Singapore. This prestigious award recognises excellence in brand building; for creating loyal brand advocates through various tactical executions like digital, on-ground, content or traditional above-the-line advertisements.
PropNex's emphasis on efficiency and effectiveness has now earned us the Singapore Service Class (S-Class) and Singapore Quality Class (SQC) certifications. The S-Class and SQC Certifications are part of the Business Excellence (BE) framework by SPRING Singapore that provides a comprehensive set of management standards for business excellence. This marks a commendable milestone in our organisational excellence journey.
PropNex recognised as the Leading Brand at Asia Enterprise Brand Awards
PropNex Realty wins the prestigious Top Noveteur Award at the Asia Enterprise Brand Awards (AEBA) Ceremony 2015. This prestigious award recognises PropNex for our excellence in building brand awareness; for creating loyal brand advocates through various tactical executions like digital, on-ground, content or traditional above-the-line advertisements; and have created life-changing experiences for our clients and employees.
Breakthrough win for PropNex at the ARCA Awards
PropNex Realty wins the prestigious People-Centric Award at the inaugural Asia Responsible Corporate Awards 2013 (ARCA) organised by Creative Group and Channel News Asia. The prestigious award recognises PropNex for its excellence in customer service; for constantly evolving to meet customers' needs and for bringing customer engagement to a new level with its industry-first Consumer Empowerment Seminar and for actively promoting prudence and sustainability in the property industry to the community.
P&N Holdings ranked second in E50 Awards
P&N Holdings is proud to be ranked second in the E50 Awards. Also, being a recipient for the third time, the award reinforces the company's efforts in business resilience, contributions to Singapore's economic development and to the community as well as the best practices and corporate governance that the company has been keeping to.
A momentous occasion
For the third consecutive year, PropNex clinched The Gold award from the Readers' Digest Trusted Brands Award.
Earning consumers's trust
The Reader's Digest Trusted Brands Gold Award was in the bag yet again! And our continuous growth was again recognised, with a tremendously improved ranking of 5th for highest turnover sales in the Singapore SME 500 award while PN Realty was ranked at 163rd.
In addition, we came in 15th for the Enterprise 50 awards-earning the distinctive honour of being the only real estate agency to be ranked.
Climbing up the rankings
Two of our companies made it to the Singapore SME 500 rankings: PropNex Corporation Pte Ltd and PropNex Realty Pte Ltd were ranked 83rd and 94th respectively.
To reflect our consumer-centric focus, we changed our tagline from "Singapore's Largest Real Estate Company" to "Service You Trust". Coincidentally in the same year, 60,000 independent consumers' votes awarded us the coveted Reader's Digest Trusted Brands Gold Award; one of only two winners in the inaugural Real Estate category.
It was a year of achievements for our CEO Mohamed Ismail as well. Not only did he win the Association of Small and Medium Enterprises' Entrepreneur of the Year and Top Entrepreneur for eCommerce Award, he also clinched the Overall Indian Entrepreneur of the Year award (Large Enterprise) from the Singapore Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
P&N Holdings was also ranked 11th in the e50 award, the highest ranked real estate agency amongst the top 50 awards. This summed up the accolades achieved for the year.
Three in a row
PropNex clinched the Promising Brand Award at the Singapore's Prestige Brand Awards. And for the third year running, we captured more than 70% of IEA's top real estate achiever awards. We also made it to the Singapore SME 500 rankings, coming in at number 117, ending the year on a high once again.
The nation's pillar
PropNex was the first and only real estate company that fielded a contingent to represent one of the two economic pillars at Singapore's 41st National Day Parade - truly a patriotic milestone!
The President visits
Presidential Visit to PropNex headquarters by His Excellency SR Nathan, former President of Singapore, and the First Lady on 20 July 2005. Mr Nathan also launched the book "You can Fly" written by CEO Mr Ismail, published in 3 languages.
Rewriting the record books
We started the year on a high with the e50.startup Award and got successfully listed among Singapore's Most Enterprising Startups. During IEA's top real estate agent awards, we repeated our amazing feat of 2003 by capturing over 70% of the awards.
New space
The new PropNex headquarters was relocated to HDB Hub, Toa Payoh. Mr Cedric Foo, Minister of State for Defence and National Development, officially opened the headquarters on 20 October 2004. At that time, it was Singapore's largest real estate office, covering over 30,000sft of space.
Making history
It was a series of firsts for us, starting with being the first real estate agency in Singapore to be awarded Superbrands. Following that, we were the first and only real estate agency in the country to be awarded the National Skills Recognition System by Spring Singapore. During the IEA (Institute of Estate Agents) awards, we rewrote the record books by clinching more than 70% of the awards for top real estate achiever category, sweeping all the Top 3 Individual Producers and the Top Rookie Award. We rounded off the year on cloud nine by being the first real estate agency to achieve the SME 500 awards.
An innovative start
We established ourselves as Singapore's largest real estate company with over 3,000 agents based in a massive 10,000sqft office in Novena. We were also the first to initiate the dual-career path, an inventive commission scheme that gives team leaders a share of the company's profits when achievement levels are met. First to introduce regular quarterly conventions that feature renowned international speakers. Agents with outstanding performances were also honoured.

FrancisM, You're the Man
As we all know, FrancisM passed away after his long bout with leukemia and I must say; the news didn't surprised me. (Not because I know he will die anyway because of cancer but for a fact that dying is a common reality of all the living). At first, I never had any reaction or comment about his passing for I never knew Francis M personally; other than knowing him as an artist, rapper and one of the co-hosts of Eat-Bulaga.
I just had a glimpse of his personal life when by chance I stumbled on his website after reading an online story about him where it did mentioned the link to his multiply.com site. In one of his blog entries dated February 15, 2006, he made a blog post titled: My Valentine Girls and I would like to quote a full length of his entry; "Every year I send flowers to the women in my life. I send it to my wife, to my daughters Unna, Maxene, Saab & Clara. I know it's just one day, but at least for one day, they get flowers from their papa. They get flowers from their suitors, boyfriends and eventually, maybe from their husbands someday, but I will send them flowers forever until the day I die. I love you. I'll never stop loving you."
This is how I came to know FrancisM as a doting father he was to his kids and a loving husband to his wife, Pia. The fact that the message was written few years back and with him saying; "…but I will send them flowers forever until the day I die" is enough for someone to shed tears especially his family and loved ones.
To FrancisM, YO! You're really the man.

So finally, after what's been nearly a year, I have decided that it's time to actually begin writing on my blog. And what better a place – or topic – to begin with than this: There's an article surfacing around the internet which brings to light another so-called "Bible." This is the article (below) and following are my observations and reactions.
1500 Year Old Bible Claims Jesus Was Not Crucified – Vatican In Awe
Ok, so this is impressive. It's not every day that we get to see an ancient writing; its old, "loosely-tied leather' and lettering of gold in Jesus' Aramaic language! But before we begin to stammer around in "Awe" (as the Vatican has supposedly begun to do) there are some things mentioned in the article that we need to think very critically about: 1.) This probably is authentic, but it doesn't make the contents true, necessarily. Many fiction books are written, for example, but we know they aren't true. If Jesus wasn't crucified, then why did the Jewish Pharisee's tell the guards (of Jesus's tomb) to lie and say that His disciples had stolen His body during the night? And, why would the Roman guards be in fear for their lives if, in fact, the body was that of Judas and not of Jesus – the one with whom the Pharisee's and Sadducee's were so intent on having executed? 2.) "Jesus ascended to Heaven alive" Two points on this statement: a) if He ascended to Heaven, then there IS a heaven, and we should to find the truth of how to go there. b) Jesus' resurrection was BODILY, not spiritually, so of course He was "alive" when He ascended to heaven, otherwise we wouldn't be saying that He was resurrected – we would be saying that a dead guy was walking around like a puppet. Also, His resurrection is the only thing that can account for the disciples' 180 in behavior (they were in hiding because they feared for their lives. But when Jesus appeared to them alive, they became bold and were fearlessly proclaiming the Gospel, even to the point of their own deaths. 3.) It makes no logical sense for Paul to have been an imposter. Paul was well known in his day because he was a member of the Jewish Sanhedrin. He was well known as a persecutor of Christians, and something has to explain his sudden change of heart – going from hatred towards Christians – hunting them down and imprisoning them, to becoming one of them. 4.) The phrase often used by Muslims "Jesus was a good prophet" is self-defeating. Here's why: If Jesus was only a prophet, then He could not be a 'good' prophet, because He was also a liar and a blasphemer for claiming to be God. I don't know of any liar that I would call 'good.' Besides the lying, He would have been a blasphemer for accepting worship, something only God deserves. 5.) It's true that the Council of Nicea hand-picked the books of the New Testament, but they did so with knowledge, not blindly or with concern for what they "liked." These books were chosen with historical accuracy and tradition being held to. 6.) There is one copy of this "bible" from the article. The Christian Bible has well over 2500 (and by COPY, it's important to understand that we're not talking about simply Xeroxing.) 7) Finally, I will agree without pause that the writer of this article is absolutely right; we should never begin to make-fun of each other for believing something different, and we absolutely should NEVER believe ANYTHING that is based on blind faith alone. We SHOULD research these things and find the best answers to our toughest questions. Otherwise, we may be falling for a lie! God Bless!

HIMES, Chester
The Quality of Hurt, with Photograph of Ossie Davis
Garden City, Doubleday, 1972. Himes's autobiography, inscribed to Ossie Davis, who co-wrote and directed the 1970 film Cotton Comes to Harlem, based on Himes's novel of the same name. Inscribed: "For Ossie Davis, Salut et Fraternite/ Chester Himes." Himes's series of hard-boiled crime novels featuring Gravedigger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson used the genre to explore and reveal little-known aspects of the black culture of postwar Harlem in much the same way that Walter Mosley's novels have done for the black subculture of postwar Los Angeles. Because Himes lived most of his adult life in France, books signed by him are relatively uncommon. Significant association copies of books by Himes are genuinely rare. Here offered together with an original photograph of Davis on the set of the film, with actors Godfrey Cambridge and Raymond St. Jacques. The book is stamped "Property of Ossie & Ruby Davis" on the first blank, below the inscription; a near fine copy in a supplied, near fine dust jacket. The 5-1/2" x 7" silver gelatin print of Davis by John Rodriguez is dated 8/1969 and is matted and framed. [#032877] SOLD
All books are first printings of first editions or first American editions unless otherwise noted.

Eric Church is probably the best singer-songwriter of the young guns currently in country music. He consistently puts out terrific albums filled with songs that he's written or co-written when many male singers in his genre are turning out utter tripe, written by a conglomerate of Nashville songwriters.
Church's greatest lyric: "I'm a long gone Waylon song on vinyl," an absolute perfect country lyric, from his 2013 single "Like Jesus Does" is actually one of the very few songs he's ever recorded that he didn't have a hand in writing. That song was co-written by Casey Beathard and Monty Criswell.
Here are the five best lyrics Church did take part in penning:
1. "Funny how a melody sounds like a memory/Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night" – "Springsteen" (2012)
Eric Church's massive hit "Springsteen" in 2012 from his album Chief really sent his career through the stratosphere and turned him into one of the biggest draws in country music. The song, which is likely the best of his career thus far, isn't so much about Bruce Springsteen but about having memories attached to seeing an artist perform live in concert and the songs that artist performs. Church has never given up the actual artist that inspired the song, saying he used Springsteen to gain a larger audience.
2. "Get-ups, gimmicks/One hit wonders that don't stick/Pretty boys acting tough/Boy bands give it up/And if it looks good on TV/It'll look good on a CD/Shape it up, trim it down/Who gives a damn 'bout who it sounds" – "Lotta Boot Left to Fill" (2009)
Eric Church is unique as far as modern country singers go, especially the men. He seems real in a genre filled with fakes. "Lotta Boot Left to Fill," a non-single from his 2009 album Carolina, helps get this point across when Church performs a song calling out many of these fakes for their BS. You can't help but believe that the "boy bands give it up" line is a direct reference to Rascal Flatts who actually kicked Church off of his first ever tour when he opened for them and played too long. Church on a Rascal Flatts tour is perhaps the biggest mismatch in country music history.
3. "And tip our hats/And raise our glasses of cold, cold beer/They say country's fadin'/But just keep wavin' that flag around here/And I know, it'll keep on comin' back/Long as people pledge allegiance/Where folks still pledge allegiance/I pledge allegiance to the Hag" – "Pledge Allegiance to the Hag" (2006)
Name-dropping country music legends has become quite the annoyance in modern day country music, because almost every time a legend gets name dropped in song it comes off more disrespectful than homage – for instance Conway Twitty being brought up in Luke Bryan's absurd "That's My Kinda Night." Eric Church, however, did it 100 percent the right way when he paid tribute to the great Merle Haggard on his 2006 debut Sinners Like Me with the song "Pledge Allegiance to the Hag," that's become a fan favorite among country fans at his concerts. Maybe the reason why it comes off as a good tribute is because Church is the real deal, unlike all of these other name-droppers.
4. "To Talladega, boys raise the/Whiskey in your glass, here's to turn it up/Slowing down and cars that go real fast/We were laughing and living, drinking and wishing/And thinking as that checkered flag was waving/Sure would like to stay in Talladega" – "Talladega" (2014)
Eric Church's 2014 No. 1 hit "Talladega" off of his most recent album The Outsiders is absolutely brilliant because, like "Springsteen" from the album before, it's not necessarily about the place or thing that's mentioned in the title or even the song – but the feeling of where you were and who you were with when that moment in time occurred. At the same time, like "Springsteen" with fans of Bruce Springsteen, it's able to work on the surface as a song that NASCAR fans could love because it mentions fast cars going around the track at Talladega.
5. "I wore out more soles than I care to count/Done more stupid things than most would dare to/I've kicked myself more times than not/For the roads they led me down/But the damndest thing I've ever seen them do/Is walkin' out on you" – "These Boots" (2006)
"These Boots," off of Eric Church's debut album Sinners Like Me in 2006, was never released as a single. However, you would never realize that based off of the reaction this song gets every time he plays it in concert. To say it's a fan-favorite would truly be an understatement. "These Boots" is a heartfelt tune from Church about a tough and rowdy guy who's done a lot of things in this old world and his boots have seem him through every bit of it, but the one thing he most regrets doing in those boots was walking out on the girl he truly loved. It's country music poetics at its best.


text: || Welcome to that One Strange Place at the End of Main Street || The fresh smell of cinnamon, freshly baked apple pies, pinecones, and alcohol all mixed together in a wondrous scent rush into your nose was you swing open a wooden door with a iron door knocker in the of a Japanese-styled cat head on the top center. Oddly, the building seems gigantic compared to it's tiny appearance on the outside. Wooden tables crafted out of the most glorious amber coloured wooden are set in rows with four wooden chairs at each of them. There is a long bar and counter running down the wall to your right hand side. Behind the counter you see a woman, who appears to be in her late twenty's, with coffee brown hair placed up in a messy bun cleaning a few beer glasses and plates. Suddenly to the left of you, you hear a sharp and almost horse voice call out to you. When you glance to see who it is, you are shocked to see that it is a tan cat with long ears and a massive tail speaking. She stares at you with grim and bitter eyes that seem to glow orangish-red with fire before losing up her glare and speaking once more. "Hello and welcome to the Twisted Wagon Wheels and Cat Whiskers Tavern and Inn. You must be new here. I haven't tasted your aura before. I am the one know as Bakeneko, the second hand owner of this fine and thriving establishment and that over thee by the counter is Mocha J. Queens, the beautiful owner and creator. If you are looking to have a drink or fresh meal just sit down and a one of our workers will be sure to get your stomach's fill, but if you are looking to stay a night or few in one of our rooms, please be sure to sign your name and the number of night you shall be staying upon the calk board over towards the staircase." You glance over at the staircase toward the back left-hand corner and notice a large calk board. At first you find it a bit childish, but then you notice that the piece of chalk have a glowing pink aura around them and are written on the board by themselves. Instantly you realize that it is a enchanted chalk board, one that keeps records and remembers the data forever even if the words are erased. You give a thankful nod to Bakeneko before doing whatever you need to have done; having a drink, entering your name on the board, or doing both. || TAVERN AND INN RULES || 1.] Fights are allowed in the tavern. However, they must be only fist fights. Weapons may be kept inside the building, but they must never be used against someone's safety.

The only time this is allowed if when someone gets banned and I must kill off their character(s). 6.] Any species is allowed.

Bruins D Chara misses first game with injuryNHL.com @NHL
BOSTON (AP) -Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara missed a game for the first time this season when he was held out Saturday against the Philadelphia Flyers with what the team termed "a minor lower body injury."
Chara was uncertain if he would be able to play in Boston's next game on Tuesday at Ottawa, his former club.
"We'll have to see," said Chara, dressed in a suit as he was leaving the arena after the Bruins' 4-3 win over Philadelphia.
Chara, one of the top defensemen available last offseason, agreed to a five-year, $37.5 million contract on the first day of free agency - July 1.
His loss came after the team's worst stretch of the season. Boston entered Saturday on a three-game losing streak, having been outscored 20-3 during that span. The Bruins were beaten 10-2 by Toronto on Thursday, the first time they allowed that many goals since November 1997.
But they responded with a solid victory.
"We had guys that stepped up," goalie Tim Thomas said. "We were missing one of our best players."
Coach Dave Lewis said Chara's status will likely be determined Monday.
"We'll see how he feels, with hopeful anticipation he travels with us," Lewis said.
Chara, who played the past four seasons with the Senators, has seven goals and 17 assists in 38 games.

From learning more about SegWit I think we should activate it. It's prob the best path forward for bitcoin at this point. https://twitter.com/SatoshiLite/status/817164198694162432 …
Scaling in 2017: Coinbase's Brian Armstrong Lends Support to SegWit
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is the latest cryptocurrency industry figure to lend support to Segregated Witness, hereinafter SegWit, technology as Bitcoin's future.
In a tweet Thursday, Armstrong stated he thought the technology, which has traditionally struggled to find wider community support, can "help the industry move forward."
Litecoin on board
The comments were made in response to a similar call from Litecoin creator Charlie Lee. Lee described SegWit as "maybe not the full scaling solution you want" but nonetheless doing "a ton of cool stuff."
Let's activate SegWit! Maybe not the full scaling solution you want, but it does a ton of good stuff today and enables lightning networks.
The scaling debate in Bitcoin circles has taken something of a backseat in the second half of 2016, having previously been the focal point of discussion among users and developers alike. As of now, however, no overall consensus has been reached about how to enable more transactions on the Bitcoin Blockchain.
Teechan's magic elixir?
Most recently, developers of a rival solution called Teechan have suggested it could even solve the problem more successfully than SegWit.
In December, they stated that Teechan could save space while providing added security for transactions.
"Teechan does not require any changes to the existing Bitcoin network; it is secure even in the presence of transaction malleability," they wrote in a blog post.
"…The first feature alone is worth its weight in Bitcoin, as this means that all the touted benefits of payment channels can be had on top of the regular, unmodified Bitcoin protocol right now, avoiding the thorny discussion around SegWit and its deployment."
They noted that while SegWit technology would allow for Lightning Transactions to be implemented into Bitcoin, however, these themselves could only be activated with substantial changes to the protocol.
Familiar schisms remain
Nonetheless, Armstrong's support for the technology was well received. Wayne Vaughan, CEO of Tierion replied that for those building solutions on Bitcoin, SegWit "solves problems."
Lets come together and move forward as an industry. Activating SegWit can help us get there and it has a number of good features.
@brian_armstrong Amen. Segwit solves problems for those of us building layer2 tech on Bitcoin.
Contrast this optimism with the viewpoint of others, for example 'Bitcoin Jesus' Roger Ver, and the complexity of reaching a consensus in the future become obvious.
In a conference speech in November, Ver referred to SegWit as a "bait and switch" for those who had been involved with Bitcoin since its early days, and that he was suspicious of "the morals of the people who have come up with it."

So, I might maybe have gone on a bit of a blind-buying spree on some new-to-me authors. It started out as me finally taking the plunge and picking up a few of the books I mentioned in my TBR-OD post a while back. Then there were a few that you guys recommended which had to be considered. And that might've lead to a few more. And since I haven't had an author spotlight in a while, I thought I would share…
Let's start with the ones I have been meaning to try for a long time. Like Outlander from Diana Gabaldon. And A Game of Thrones from George R. R. Martin. Neither of them have covers that I really like, but if they end up being keepers then I can edit them later. For now, they will do. And since you guys recommended Sarah J. Maas so strongly, I went back and bought the first two books of both of her current series. I read A Court of Thorns and Roses before, but Throne of Glass will be new-to-me. Even though I think this is the fourth time I have bought it. You also recommended The Vampires in America series from D.B. Reynolds, so I thought I would pick up the first book, Raphael. And now onto the more adventurous buys I made.
First up is Blood Huntress. It is the first book of the Ruled by Blood series from Izzy Shows. I think I might've read one of the books from her other series, but I can't really remember. I am still going to call her new-to-me.
What does it say when vampires aren't the thing most feared in the night?
Nina Rodriguez has become the most lethal weapon in the world. A blood mage trained by werewolves to hunt and kill with no remorse, no morality, and no hesitation. All that matters is the thrill of the kill, and the danger that comes with it.
When she's given orders to infiltrate and observe the vampire court, she couldn't turn it down anymore than she could cease to breathe.
The sweet taste of danger was enough to tempt her, and that only doubles when the vampire king chooses her as his own personal thrall.
He's a temptation she wasn't prepared for, but dangerous, and his attention could mean death if she doesn't watch her mouth. Words are weapons in a vampire court, weapons she was not trained to use.
She can fight off any enemy, but no one prepared her to fight for her soul.
Next up, I stumbled across Smoke and Shadows from Katerina Martinez. It is part of her Order of Prometheus series.
My name is Maxine Cartwright, and as of this morning, I'm a fugitive.
New Seattle is a Shining City, one of the few remaining oases of civilization left in the world, but it isn't without it's problems. That's where I come in. I'm a hunter; a mage employed by the Faction to hunt down Fallen mages and bring them in dead or alive. It's a good gig, and one I've been doing for years. I have a reputation, or notoriety, depending on how you see things, and more enemies than I can count. Now one of those enemies is trying to frame me for a terrible crime I didn't commit, and the worst part is my own people can't look me in the eye and tell me they know I'm innocent. My only choice is to run away from the only life I've ever known, and figure out who is going out of their way to put me down.
Cut off from my friends and the people I once relied on for backup, I reluctantly accept the help of a man wanted for questioning concerning his potential ties to the Fallen. How am I supposed to trust someone who could be a terrorist? Then again, how can he trust me? Proving my innocence will be the hardest thing I've ever done, but before I can do that I'm going to have to learn the truth about the world I live in, and uncover the lies I've been told my whole life.
Witch's Curse also found its way onto my ipad. It is the first book of the Bone Coven Chronicles from Jenna Wolfhart.
Wanted: Magically Armed and Dangerous.
Ever since my parents died in the demon war, I've paid my way through life by using magic to con people. It's not right, but a girl's gotta do what she can to survive.
Unfortunately, my latest con has left me smack dab in the middle of a murder scene. Now, a coven of angry mages thinks I'm the killer. In order to clear my name, I have to team up with an infuriatingly sexy warlock whose powers are far darker than he admits. Throw in a string of related murders and a vexed vampire clan, and I'm up to my eyeballs in danger.
But that's not even the worst of it. When I get too close to the real killer, he casts a life-threatening curse on my grandmother. Before, I just wanted to save my own butt, but now I'll do whatever it takes to track him down—even if it means following him through monstrous dimensions.
Because I don't play nice with magic. And when you mess with Grandma, you become #1 on my sh*t list.
Another author you guys have been recommending lately in Dannika Dark, so I thought I would add her to the list. I ended up grabbing Keystone, which is the first book of the Crossbreed series.
Raven Black hunts evildoers for fun, but her vigilante justice isn't the only reason she's hiding from the law. Half Vampire, half Mage, she's spent years living as a rogue to stay alive. When a Russian Shifter offers her a job in his covert organization hunting outlaws, dignity and a respectable career are finally within her grasp. The catch? Her new partner is Christian Poe – a smug, handsome Vampire whom she'd rather stake than go on a stakeout with.
They're hot on the trail of a human killer who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. One misstep during her probationary period could jeopardize Raven's chance at redemption, and her partner would love nothing more than to see her fail. Will Raven find the courage to succeed, or will she give in to her dark nature?
And my last new-to-me purchase was from Devon Monk. For something a little different, I thought I would try out her Ordinary Magic series, so I picked up Death and Relaxation.
Police Chief Delaney Reed can handle the Valkyries, werewolves, gill-men and other paranormal creatures who call the small beach town of Ordinary, Oregon their home. It's the vacationing gods who keep her up at night.
With the famous Rhubarb Festival right around the corner, small-town tensions, tempers, and godly tantrums are at an all-time high. The last thing Delaney needs is her ex-boyfriend reappearing just when she's finally caught the attention of Ryder Bailey, the one man she should never love.
No, scratch that. The actual last thing she needs is a dead body washing ashore, especially since the dead body is a god.
Catching a murderer, wrestling a god power, and re-scheduling the apocalypse? Just another day on the job in Ordinary. Falling in love with her childhood friend while trying to keep the secrets of her town secret? That's gonna take some work.
Have you tried out any of my impulse buy authors? What did you think of them?

World – "Live life however you see fit"
God – "Be Holy"
There are Christians who think these two statement can be compatible. They're not. Even as Christian we are not granted the space by God to live however we see fit so long as we "believe in Jesus." When we determine to live as we see fit, we are placing our will above God's and by so doing we have placed a god above God. That god being ourselves and our own desires.
Just as Christ prayed in Gethsemane for what he wanted, he nevertheless deferred to his Father's will. Be deferring to his Father, Christ achieved the purpose for which he came. If he had not, I would still be lost. When we do the same, we will reach the purpose He has created us for. Should we not, much will be lost.
Talon's Point of the Day is meant to be concise yet thought provoking. If you are impacted feel free to share the point with others, with or without citation.
