Working mothers should not feel guilty about putting their children in day- care facilities.
``Research to date shows that children attending day-care centers are not in danger of having the strong parent-child relationship disrupted or compromised,`` said Suzie J. Franklin of the Medical College of Wisconsin.
Studies show that working mothers spend about as much time in direct contact with their children as do mothers who stay at home and that children show a preference for their parents over another caregiver, she said.
When parents become concerned about a youngster`s being overweight, they might consider how their own poor eating habits contribute to that child`s problem, says Audrey Braunschweig, a registered nurse at the University of Rochester Medical Center.
``Constant snacking while watching TV, as well as eating in rooms other than the dining room and at times other than mealtime, are poor habits that parents unknowingly foist upon children,`` she says.
``Overweight or not, if parents can change their poor eating habits, their overweight children would benefit,`` she says. ``You can`t expect youngsters to make these behavioral changes on their own. They need support and good role models.``
Husbands of working wives feel squeezed out of their role as family breadwinner, a factor that may affect mental health, a new psychological study has shown.
Researchers at Rutgers University studied a group of husbands whose wives worked at least 20 hours a week and another group of husbands who described their spouses as housewives.

2007 Washington Huskies Basketball Preview
The Washington Huskies (19- 13 overall, 8- 10 Pac-10) finished seventh in their conference in 2006- 2007 and for the first time in three years did not get into NCAA March Madness. In fact, the Huskies sat out the NIT too! Coach Lorenzo Romar (103- 55 in five years with Washington and 193- 143 in 11 years) guided the club to 29 wins in 2004- 2005 and 26 in 2005- 2006. Despite losing center Spencer Hawes (14.9 PPG, 6.4 RPG, 1.7 BPG), an impact player during his career, Romar is optimistic about the upcoming season.
Although Washington was strong on scoring last season, coming in second in the Pac-10 with 76.5 PPG, they were dead last in scoring defense, allowing 73.0 PPG. Their rebounding margin was best in the conference and second nationally as they averaged plus-9.0. They were second in the Pac-10 in assists with 15.19 per contest. However, turnovers were a major problem for the team and improving the college basketball odds. The Huskies finished 10th in the league, giving the ball up 15.6 times per game. In shooting, they were the fourth most accurate club in the Pac-10 from the floor and the foul line.
Forward Jon Brockman (14.2 PPG, 9.6 RPG, 55.0 FG%), now a junior, uses his big body to manhandle the boards and the ball. He'll continue to be a force upfront. Sophomore Qunicy Pondexter (10.7 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 49.8 FG%) will ably man the other forward spot. Center could go to the fine-shooting sophomore Joe Wolfinger, who wore a medical red shirt last season.
The guard positions feature two returning starters—junior Justin Dentmon (10.1 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 3.6 APG, 40.8 FG%) and senior Ryan Appleby (10.5 PPG, 1.9 RPG, 2.2 APG, 41.5 FG%). Both are good shooters but neither offers much on defense. The team does not have a backcourt playmaker.
In order to get the club back on the winning track in the conference tournament brackets, Romar will need to get the most that he can from his returning starting four and hope that center Wolfinger can come back after missing last season. The Huskies are a tough team to predict because so much depends on the center area. A strong floor general at point will help this team get back into the NCAA mix. Defense is definitely needed too.

The Easystart initiative of Airbus Corporate Jets offers tailored support to the buyers of its corporate jets that already have been in service.
Easystart helps buyers to understand how an Airbus corporate jet can perform on their key missions, how it can be an attractively affordable upgrade, and how services – such as training, support and upgrades – are available to ensure a smooth entry into service.
Airbus began delivering A320 Family-based corporate jets in the 1990s. With new models such as the ACJ320neo now on the horizon, more owners are interested in trading up. This opens opportunities for the acquisition of aircraft becoming available from their first operators.
Airbus airliners are designed for 20 years or more in service, while flying several thousand hours a year. They have potentially much longer lives as corporate jets, which typically only fly a few hundred hours a year, helping to ensure excellent residual value.
Pre-owned Airbus corporate jets thus have much to offer and – because they are the most modern aircraft family in their class – longevity is "in their genes," with significant potential for new operators.
With Easystart, Airbus offers its unmatched advice, care and support beyond the first ownership.
Key ACJ320 Family features include a much wider and taller cabin than any other business jet, while being similar in size externally. This delivers more sociable, comfortable and productive travel, because passengers can easily move around – as well as allowing more passengers.
Airbus corporate jets already include many features that customers expect when buying a business jet today, including the enhanced protection of fly-by-wire controls, weight-saving new materials, and cost-saving centralised maintenance – features often lacking in competitors.
More than 180 Airbus corporate jets are in service on every continent, including Antarctica. They are supported by a worldwide network of technical advice, spares and training that is sized for the needs of more than 500 customers and operators, including services dedicated to the particular needs of corporate jet fliers.

May only be for a few days but it is so good when you have a break away and you know you won't forget it for a long time. Earlier in the year my cousin Chloe got married to her sweetheart Ross. The wedding was held in Pauanui, New Zealand on the Coromandel Peninsular. It was such a pretty place and having been there now I can understand why they chose to get married in this location.
Breathtaking scenery was an understatement.
Our eldest son Pat had just started high school so fortunately my in-laws looked after him and unfortunately for him he missed out on the trip. He took it quite well, as I think starting a new school and having sporting trials kept his mind off it.
The wedding had such attention to detail with a vintage slant and you could really feel the love in the air. Was a special time for our family to catch up with our New Zealand cousins who we love and are such good fun!!
The day after the wedding we drove to Hot Water Beach; about half an hours drive. It was an amazing experience and a place I would recommend in a second. You need a shovel as the water is so hot. You can hire them there for a small fee. Once you have dug a small hole the water comes out and you can sit in it. Very hot, although your body slowly adjusts to it. Every so often you need to take a swim in the ocean to cool down. An amazing thing to do for adults and kids alike.
Look forward to going to New Zealand again sometime and this time spending more time there. Pat won't be missing the next trip.

Take a hunchbacked jester with a chip on his shoulder, a royal libertine who goes through women faster than you count them, a hit man who doesn`t give a hoot whom he hits and a gullible girl with a martyr complex. What have you got? Trouble. Lots and lots and lots of trouble. And that starts with T and that rhymes with C and that stands for censorship.
So learned Giuseppe Verdi when he wrote one of his greatest operas: Clara of Perth. Clara of Perth? you ask incredulously. Well, let me check again. Oh, yes. It was Viscardello. Still doesn`t ring a bell? I`ve got it -- it must have been Lionello. No?
Well now, let me see. Oh, yes. Here it is -- Rigoletto. It was hard to read the name underneath all the others and the official stamps of disapproval. But art will triumph in the end, won`t it?
Even if Rigoletto is not exactly what Verdi originally had in mind, the end result was strong enough to survive the toughest censors and take a firm place in the repertoire. That lasting quality should be very much in evidence when the Greater Miami Opera opens its 1986 season this week with a new production of the work.
Verdi must have known it wouldn`t be easy to sneak a libretto based on Victor Hugo`s 1832 play, Le Roi s`amuse, past the government gadflies. After all, the celebrated French playwright`s drama had caused a scandal at its Paris premiere and was banned for years there. And Verdi had been through this sort of situation before with his operatic ventures, including another one based on a controversial Hugo play, Ernani.
The censors, ever on the prowl for anything that might offend public decency or arouse the Italian public against whatever authority happened to be in power at the moment (most of Verdi`s troubles came from the Austrian occupation government), routinely desecrated operas that strayed into suggestive territory.

9 Artists to Watch at NADA Miami
Artsy Editorial
Inspired by the never-ending compositional possibilities of simple geometries and everyday materials, Amba Sayal-Bennett erects sculptures and installations that resemble architectural plans, building blocks, and modernist altarpieces. "I think it is this endless potential for translation and therefore a resistance to fixity that appeals to me in the language of geometry and line," Sayal-Bennett has said about the foundations of her practice. After arranging hard-edged shapes in intricate drawings, the artist translates her compositions into three-dimensional forms of all shapes and sizes. Using construction paper, cardboard, overhead projectors, and detritus found on the street, Sayal-Bennett creates detailed and colorful compositions that enter into and overtake the viewer's physical space.

Gladiator 4K reviewed, plus Rick and Morty, new Shout!/Scream, Quick and the Dead 4K & more
First things first today... some of you may have seen my reviews of Mel Gibson's Braveheart and Ridley Scott's Gladiator on 4K Ultra HD when I posted them late on Friday night, but if not... there you go. Both are coming out on 5/15 from Paramount in reference quality (or very close to it) and they're certainly the best way to see these films yet bar none.
Also today, Tim has just posted reviews of Kino Lorber Studio Classics' outstanding new The Outer Limits: Season One box set, along with Adult Swim's Rick and Morty: Season 1 and Season 2, all on Blu-ray. Each of these titles are well worth a look.
In 4K Ultra HD catalog news, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has just set The Quick and the Dead for release on the format on 7/17. The 4K disc will feature Dolby Atmos audio and HDR10. It will also include the previous Blu-ray extras and will add 7 never-before-seen deleted scenes for this release. We've updated the 4K Ultra HD Release List here at The Bits accordingly.

Dear Editor:
The following is my definition of "consensus", taken from The American Heritage dictionary: consensus, n., Collective opinion or concord; general agreement or accord. I don't know how Mr. Frecker's definition differs.
"Compromise" to me is a noun, which means: A settlement of differences in which each side makes concessions. In my letter of 3/18, I offered compromise for controlled, realistic, legal immigration; I proposed a solution for reducing the number of undocumented workers in our country; and, I endorsed Gary Endleman's plan of "Earned Legalization (until Mr. Frecker or anyone else can come up with a better plan). In his reply to me, Mr. Frecker made no specific comments to my compromise, my solution, or my plan endorsement, nor did he offer any compromises of his own.

News article: "Funding fertility"
Do yourself a favour, & skip the comments...!

Funding fertility: the fight to have treatments covered
OHIP would not fund fertility treatments for Ana Ilha and Amir Attaran.
Blair Gable for The Globe and Mail
Suit argues that OHIP's policy is discriminatory, since it covers in vitro fertilization only in limited circumstances
From Wednesday's Globe and Mail Last updated on Wednesday, Aug. 19, 2009 04:08AM EDT
Six months ago, Ana Ilha knew her biological clock was ticking. She just didn't know it was ticking so fast.
But when the Ontario Health Insurance Plan would not cover fertility treatments because of the source of her problems - at 37, her eggs were running out abnormally fast, a condition called a low ovarian reserve - she decided to take action.
She and her husband, University of Ottawa professor Amir Attaran, filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario on Monday. They argue OHIP's policy is discriminatory, since it covers in vitro fertilization only in limited circumstances.
"It's a medical condition like any other," Ms. Ilha said. "Couples like us should not have to suffer financially in addition to suffering emotionally."
Their case is part of a debate in Canada's two largest provinces, and it could soon spread across the country.
In Quebec, high-profile TV personality Julie Snyder, the wife of Quebecor CEO Pierre-Karl Péladeau, urged the province to cover IVF treatments. She made a documentary about infertility and put pressure on politicians.
In April, Premier Jean Charest's government announced that it will fund three IVF cycles for couples, making Quebec the only province to do so.
Seang Lin Tan, a fertility expert at the McGill University Health Centre in Montreal, said one in eight Canadian couples struggles with infertility.
"What's frustrating, is that people who would be good candidates are routinely told they have to dig into their pockets," Prof. Attaran said. "I'm fortunate, law professors get paid decently. But that's not true for everyone."
After a year of trying to conceive, the couple paid $6,300 for one IVF treatment at an Ottawa fertility clinic. A further $6,500 in drugs was covered by private insurance.
A spokesperson for Ontario Health Minister David Caplan said he would not comment on the case.
OHIP paid for IVF in the past, but in a cost-cutting measure in 1994, Ontario withdrew funding except for women whose fallopian tubes are blocked. That applies to about 25 per cent of infertile patients, said Jeff Nisker, a professor of obstetrics, gynecology and oncology at the University of Western Ontario.
"Canadians should not be denied having children for the sin of being socio-economically disadvantaged," Dr. Nisker said. "Almost all other developed countries have funded fertility treatments. It's embarrassing."
Limiting publicly financed procedures by implanting only one embryo at a time would save money, he said. People who pay out of pocket are more likely to take fertility drugs, or have two or three embryos implanted at a time. The resulting multiple pregnancies are more likely to produce expensive premature births and complications.
The fight for IVF coverage has been waged, and won, before. In 2006, Warrant Officer Terry Buffett told the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal that the Canadian Forces discriminated against him by refusing to finance IVF treatments for his wife. The couple's infertility was a result of medical issues on WO Buffett's part. The tribunal ordered the Forces to pay $7,500 in compensation, and to amend the coverage policy.
But there are other precedents. In 1998, the Nova Scotia Supreme Court ruled that since IVF is not a medically necessary procedure, it should not be publicly funded.
Ms. Snyder acknowledges that her celebrity in Quebec helped her cause.
Ms. Ilha said she hopes her efforts will yield results as well.
"This is about the public interest," she said. She and her husband have asked for $16,300 in damages. "But if the government decides that it is going to change its policy, I'm happy to drop it."

That is an example of one of many reasons why the public healthcare debate here in the states is so critical. I know the very same thing would happen if a similar type of public insurance were passed here. Gov't folks deciding whats medically necessary instead of medical folks....ugh. Just what I need someone with an economics degree telling my doc how to treat me.ReplyDelete
Thanks but no thanks.
P.S. The quilt square is just beautiful.
Dr. Tan was my doc at McGill and as he stated to me, I am a great candidate for IVF. And look at that... our first try worked. It frustrates me to no end that we had to pay for it ourselves and run up the bill, but what else can we do? Our hands were completely tied, so we did what we had to. And I agree; government shouldn't meddle this much in medicine. Doctors and specialists ought to make the determinations regarding who ought to receiving treatment and funding as they are the ones who know. I participated in the special forum on IVF funding and with luck, my words have been heard by SOMEONE SOMEWHERE. I can only hope, right?ReplyDelete

Over the past few years, automation has proven to be an important tool in the management of Laboratory inspections, maintenance, and service activities. It enables effective equipment tracking, scheduling, service management, and management of parts and inventories. Benefits include improved productivity, reduced downtime, increased equipment life expectancy, compliance with regulations, and lower overall maintenance costs.
In the past, many automation solutions offered 'paper-based' software, which produced paper work orders to perform field service. Once paper forms were returned to the office, they would be 'manually' entered and integrated with the software product. The same concept applied to web-based solutions, which required paper work orders and computers to enter the data back onto the system.
In recent years, the role of handheld devices and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant) has gradually increased from 'toys' used by early adopters, to day-to-day tools deployed by organizations that want to improve their staff's productivity and minimize unnecessary administrative tasks.
A PDA (handheld device) can be used to automate laboratory equipment maintenance and replace paper work orders. In fact, most handheld devices operate on either the Palm Operating System (PalmOne) or Pocket PC (Microsoft), and both platforms can easily handle Laboratory inspection and service software.
Handheld devices should provide information that already exists on paper forms or on the desktop, and at the same time improve one's ability to access and utilize the data. For example, if a user fills out a monthly inspection report providing specific information, the handheld device should fulfils the same function. A handheld user can pick from a list of possible choices and/or write or type in information, according to the organization's requirements and preferences. Handheld devices make current, past, and future information accessible and easy to use.
According to Techs4Biz Australia , handheld software should also be tailored towards Laboratory field service personnel who need to perform their tasks using easy-to-use screens and functions. Furthermore, by simplifying navigation buttons and minimizing keystrokes, field technicians can learn to operate their PDA software in a very short timeframe.

Two Injured After Vehicle Crashes Past Curb Into the Devil's Playground, One Detained
Two individuals were injured. One was struck with a vehicle. Another claimed to have been hit with a baseball bat during an altercation that appears to have been related.
Details on the story are still emerging. However, our reporter Oliver Cory was on the scene and captured photos. He also spoke to Sergeant Shawn Sopoaga of the Eureka Police.
"The car hit a pedestrian walking back here or who lives back here," stated Sopoaga. "We don't know if it was an accident or assault with a deadly weapon." The victim knew the woman who hit him only as Michelle, he added.
Another victim, he said, claimed to have been injured by a baseball bat.
In an unpleasant twist, Sopoaga said, someone dumped "a honey bucket" or open toilet in the back of the woman's car.

Making samosas with phyllo dough may be a clash of two cultures, but I never worry about that. Phyllo makes making them so simple you are willing to make them for dinner or lunch at any time. Serve these with a light cucumber raita as a dipping sauce and you're all set.Read More

Over the winter months, Lee Ann Womack has been warming up audiences for two of her longtime musical heroes — George Strait and Reba McEntire. Asked what separates this particular tour from the other ones out there, Womack promptly replies, "Country music," as if it's the most obvious thing in the world.
"I mean, there's not a lot of smoke and mirrors. There's not a lot of flash. It's music," she adds. "I have to brag on all three of the bands. I think that these three bands are the best on the road and they are kicking ass every night. It's a joy to get to hear them."
Nominated for the ACM's female vocalist of the year award, Womack is on the charts with her latest single, "There Is a God." She's also in the mixing phase of a new album, a project which finds her working with producer Tony Brown, who has produced more than a few hits with Strait and McEntire.
Prior to a meet-and-greet at a recent concert in Memphis, she found a quiet corner to talk about landing a spot on the tour, how she discovered Strait's music and what crosses her mind before she takes the stage.
CMT: This is a dream tour for you. What was your reaction when you heard that the deal came through?
Womack: Well, I was kind of surprised! I hadn't even heard that they were going to add another artist to the show, so I was a little surprised. I was on the beach in Hawaii and got a call from my agent who said, "They want you to come out." So I was thrilled.
When you lived in Texas, did you ever see George Strait or Reba on tour?
Oh, yeah … oh yeah. Of course, I saw George many, many times. I would skip school and drive anywhere I could to see him and his band. They played great Western swing music. I liked the stuff they did that wasn't on the album as much as I did the hits. And I remember seeing Reba in college when I was going to school out in Lubbock. I saw her at the fair out there.
I know you especially like the early albums from Reba's career.
That's my favorite Reba. She knows it, too. I tell her! (laughs) Yeah, I love those [producer] Jerry Kennedy records. That's real, real country stuff. It's nostalgic to me. I remember hearing it as a child, and my parents really loved her. But just the songs that she cut … "Somebody Should Leave," "You're the First Time I Thought About Leaving," all those things. It was country.
I bet Strait Country was a landmark album for you.
Mmm-hmm. Oh, yeah. I remember my dad coming in and handing me an album and saying, "This guy sounds just like Tommy Duncan." [Duncan was the lead vocalist for Bob Wills' Texas Playboys band.] And I knew who Tommy Duncan was because I had listened to all of my dad's records. That's a big compliment coming from my dad. He's real picky and real hard on singers, and he just loved George's voice. That's kind of where it started for me.
When you're just about to step onstage, what are you thinking about?
You know what I've found about this? There's a certain amount of intimacy in these shows, even though there's 18,000 people. The show is in the round. You walk through the crowd to get to the show, and you're not at the far end of a room. As a singer and a songwriter, I love intimate shows. It's really surprising to me that you can have this big of a room, with this many people, and still have intimacy.
How has the crowd response been for "There Is a God"?
Amazing. They love it. That's a song for the country music audience, and they really love it. It's like it's already a hit from the first time you sing the hook.
This tour is wrapping up in April. Are you heading out on tour this summer, too?
Yeah! I was just talking to my agent before soundcheck. I was making sure. … We only get 30 minutes on these shows, so I want to come back to a lot of these cities and play. Yeah, I'll definitely be out on my own.

I wrote earlier about "StockImagery: A New Yahoo Group For Professional Stock Photographers", founded by Clarence W. Walker (Stock Imagery was the old synonym of ISIA), then "International Stock Imagery Association: Continues To Grow, Selected Interim Board Of Directors" and that ISIA selected the Board of Directors (Link to the new ISIA forum).
Executive Director Clarence Walker mailed today an official declaration named: "International Stock Imagery Association: What's in it for me?"
As it certainly will no be very easy for this young association to reach its audience via the traditional media, here´s what he wrote in detail [Update: here´s the full press release with more details]:
International Stock Imagery Association
What's in it for me?
Many times I have been asked by individuals in various professional positions around the industry why they personally would be interested in the I.S.I.A.. Most often, by the time they have heard a simple explanation of what I.S.I.A. stands for, that's sufficient for them to overwhelmingly say…"YES! The industry needs this."
You see, I.S.I.A. is far more than another place to pay big bucks for the same old list of deliverables. I.S.I.A is about individuals, it's about preparing for growth in an industry that is rapidly growing and changing, it's about community, values, ethics, and a shared vision. Yes, I.S.I.A. is already a worldwide association representing virtually every segment of the stock, graphics arts, and photographic fields commonly know as stock imagery, but, far more, the I.S.I.A. is about YOU.
To be honest, to fully understand what's in it for you, one has to really understand the founding principles and directions of I.S.I.A. as a community with many diverse interests, backgrounds, levels of income, fields of expertise, countries of origin and so much more, but one generally shared vision, that vision reflected below:
Mission and Goals
I.S.I.A. is an international industry association that represents the needs and provides resources for its individual members involved as professionals in the many fields that are involved in the capture, production and distribution of stock imagery.
I.S.I.A. seeks to create an environment for communications and the delivery of resources that are conducive to the continued development and maintenance of ethical, professional standards and practices based upon respect for the individual.
I.S.I.A. is an association based upon inclusivity, wherein its members views may be expressed and received with respect, regardless of age, income, experience, or industry affiliations whether with other associations, channels of distribution or any areas of personal or professional involvement.
To accomplish our goals I.S.I.A. stresses individual member participation and the development of services and resources.
That last part, the part all about individual participation, is what has brought us so far in such a short time. We realized a short while back that we had two possible routes, one involved hiring out all that we had to do and then charging a large membership fee. To date, no one has been charged a dime and no monies have been spent. That which has been accomplished has come through the contributions and efforts of individuals just like yourself all working together and using our own backgrounds and experience to achieve one thing, the launch of I.S.I.A., the launch of something that is right, whose time has come, but, far more, the launch and development of something we all believe in.
Yeah, I know it sounds a bit old fashioned, but, through working together respectfully, we are offering you something that is good and a place where you too can contribute and benefit.
So, how can you benefit?
Well, for one there is the new website!
Over time you can find on the I.S.I.A. website a reliable source of news, community, and valuable resources. We foresee using the website as but one of our vehicles of communication and for the provision of the deliverables we are already developing…brainstorming if you will…how to use this as an industry resource without peer.
On the I.S.I.A. website you may well soon find even more enhanced news feeds, interesting articles from a wide variety of sources, industry and marketing information, access to our powerful new forum where you can discuss issues in special topical rooms, members-only sections with information available only to members, active portfolios and opportunities to promote your business, opportunities to submit your images to regular competition and receive both acknowledgement and rewards, online development and research tools, and whatever the mind can conceive and, together, we can deliver.
Sure, we will be exploring even greater offerings in the future, but this isn't a bad start!
The I.S.I.A. board is already discussing ways to enhance our association and cooperation with other associations, industry groups, business, and services providers. This covers a broad range of areas ranging from insurance coverage, to training seminars, consulting services, legal advice, discounts, product offerings and even more. With your help, your agreement with our basic principles, and a little help from our worldwide community of members and associates we CAN!
Give I.S.I.A. a chance to be a key component of your professional success and enjoyment.

The yellow wire shown in the above should be tested for continuity before unsoldering. If it's ok, try the following:
1. Check if there is continuity across the AC power prongs using an ohmmeter. If not, the transformer is bad. That was my problem.
2. Check that the pencil actuated switch closes properly when the pencil is inserted, using an ohmmeter. Clean the contacts if necessary.
3. Check that the small shaving tray safety switch closes when the tray is inserted. It's actuated by a tab on the R rear of the tray.
4. Apply 12V (AC or DC) to the two yellow wires. If the motor runs, the diodes and motor are ok.
5. Apply 12 VDC to the motor directly, using the two terminals that the black capacitor is attached to. Make sure to attach the negative side as marked on the capacitor, or you might blow the diodes. Use a power source that can supply at least one amp.
I will gladly donate my unit with working motor and good gearbox to anyone that asks. Add a w in front of email@example.com

Contested & Uncontested Divorce
We've represented thousands of clients with legal services in divorce in Dallas, Texas. No matter your situation, we can help.
Uncontested divorces will typically be finalized in 60 days from the day we file your divorce petition. These are the most affordable divorces suited for parties who have amicably agreed on all the terms of their property division, child custody, and child support.
Our law firm has also represented countless of clients in contested divorces with property and custody issues are involved. We have the experience to guide you through the complex legal processes which in many cases can be simplified by having the right Dallas divorce attorney on your side.
Do I Need a Divorce?
In Texas, a marriage is a legal relationship between a man and a woman or in some jurisdictions between two people. To dissolve your marriage, you must file a divorce petition with a Texas court. Pursuing a divorce is a stressful event filled with difficult choices and risks. We will help you understand your rights, obligations, and other options to help you make good decisions regarding your divorce.
Where Do I Start?
A personal conference with an experienced Dallas-based divorce attorney is the place to start your divorce. Our family law firm will explain and help you understand the choices available in divorce. Most people are not aware of the benefits the legal system can do to help or to protect them. We will make certain that the choices you make are the best choices for you and your family. Your family law matter must be presented to the Court in a way that the Court is made aware what and how much each party contributed to the marriage financially, what was the party's role with the children, how will each party provide for themselves and the children during the divorce, and what are the children's needs.
What Choices Do I Have?
We will make sure you know how the law relates to your divorce and your situation. As experienced Dallas divorce attorneys, you will know whether you are entitled to alimony while a divorce is pending. You will understand how the law relates to a visitation of the children by the parties and the party's financial responsibility to the children of the marriage. We will discuss and explain the matter of alimony, temporary spousal support, temporary child support, or any other procedures that will benefit your side of the case.
What if I Have a Common Law Marriage?
An informal marriage, usually referred to as "common law marriage" is usually misunderstood by most people. We will explain the law relating to your relationship if you declare a common law marriage. In general, you must satisfy three requirements. The common law requirements are that you lived or cohabitated together, that you represented yourself to others as husband and wife, and that you both believed that you were married in Texas.
Who Gets What?
Most people do not fully understand the community property laws in Texas. We will make sure you understand that when you divide your assets, you also need to divide your debts. We will make sure you know that you understand the laws regarding separate property and inheritance rights as it relates to community property. Our clients will also be informed about how the courts typically divide community property which is not a 50/50 split as widely believed by a lot of people.
Requirements to Get a Divorce
To file for a divorce in Texas, one of the spouses has to have been a resident of the state for a continuous six-month period; and, one of the spouses must have been a resident of the county where the divorce is filed for at least 90 days.
What is the Procedure to File a Divorce in Texas?
A typical Texas divorce requires the following steps:
One Spouse (the Petitioner), files an Original Petition for Divorce with the court and has the papers personally served on (delivered to) the other spouse (the Respondent). If the spouses are working together, the Respondent can sign a waiver, giving up the right to be personally served with the papers.
At the time of filing, Texas courts usually issue a standard Standing Order that:
- (a) requires that no assets disappear before they can be divided by the court, and
- (b) requires that the spouse act civilly toward each other and not threaten or harass each other. If extraordinary situations are occurring, the court may issue a Temporary Restraining Order, the court must schedule a hearing within 14 days of issuance. At that time, the court may make the Temporary Restraining Order into a temporary injunction against both parties.
If no Temporary Restraining Order is issued, the Respondent must file a document called an Answer. Either party may also request the court for a hearing for temporary orders. Commonly, the court will also consider temporary orders, which will be in effect while the divorce is pending. Temporary orders usually involve temporary custody, visitation and support of the children, and temporary use of property and servicing of debt. It can include temporary spousal support and the payment of interim attorney's fees as well.
If the spouses believe that information, financial or otherwise, is being hidden by the other party, the parties can initiate the process of "discovery". This is usually an expensive and time-consuming process which must be seriously considered by the party and done only if one of the parties refuses to exchange information and documents.
The next step for a party to consider if they wish to avoid expensive litigation is an out-of-court- settlement of the case, either directly or with the help of attorneys or mediators. If they can work out an agreement on everything, one of the spouses or attorneys will prepare an Agreed Decree of Divorce, which will contain all of the terms of the agreement. The spouses and their attorneys sign it, and eventually, the judge does as well. Out-of-court settlements are a lot more affordable and take less time compared to taking the case to trial.
If the spouses are not able to settle the case out-of-court, a trial date with the court will have to be set. Before the trial date, most courts require the parties to complete mediation. Mediation is an informal process allowing the divorcing parties to work with a neutral third party, known as the mediator, to negotiate and settle all terms of their conflict. If mediation fails, the case must go to final trial. At the conclusion of the trial, the court will make a ruling on the entire case. A Final Decree of Divorce will be prepared presented to the judge for signature. The Final Decree of Divorce will contain all of the court's rulings and will resolve all issues pertaining to the divorce, and is binding on both parties.

Quick Reference
A phase of the British early Bronze Age spanning the period 1650–1400 bc which was defined by Colin Burgess in the late 1970s. Coming immediately after the Beaker Cutlure and the rich early Wessex Culture graves of the preceding Overton Period, Bedd Branwen times saw the almost universal adoption of cremation as the main mode of burial, the tendency to use existing round barrows as the focus for flat cremation cemeteries (although some barrows continued to be built), the emergence of Deverel–Rimbury ceramics alongside existing collared urns, and the development of metallurgy through the Arreton Down and Acton Park industries.

Retro City Rampage EU PSN, WiiWare and XBLA versions complete
Retro City Rampage is now ready for the European PlayStation Store as well as Xbox Live Arcade and WiiWare, Brian Provinciano has announced.
Speaking with Eurogamer, the game's creator explained why the game launched in the US on PC and through PSN, but was delayed in Europe and on the other platforms.
"As the remaining SKUs were not yet out the door at the time of launch, I made the decision to take this as an opportunity to ensure that at minimum, those still waiting for the game would get a better experience from the get-go," Provinciano said. "Throughout development I had a lot of people playtest the game and opened my ears like a sponge for all of the feedback that I could get.
"However, in the final couple of months before submission, the task list was overflowing. Being a one man show, I had to juggle everything from the programming, design and bug fixing to the business, production, trailer, store assets, marketing, emails, PR and most of all, certification and platform requirements."
"There is no release date yet for the remaining SKUs, but all versions are complete and either well into certification or starting shortly."
The update includes changes car tailing and platforming levels, cars are faster, the levels are more balanced, additional checkpoints have been added, and many of the side quests are now fuller missions.
Retro City Rampage launched in October on PC and the US PlayStation Store.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health recently published its first set of proposed regulations for physicians and health care practitioners in connection with Pennsylvania's medical marijuana law. The regulations cover topics such as the required physician-registry, conflict of interest restrictions on physician ownership of medical marijuana businesses, and guidelines for issuing medical marijuana certifications to qualified patients. The regulations also discuss the prescription-drug monitoring database and physician training courses.
A copy of the proposed regulations can be found here.
The Department of Health is asking for physician feedback on the proposed regulations, which are only temporary at this stage, and which must go through a public comment and internal review period.

Health Insurance Marketplace
(also referred to as Health Insurance Exchange, Affordable Care Act and Obamacare)
The Health Insurance Marketplace is a way for individuals and families to find health insurance that fits their budget and needs. While St. John has been included in Marketplace networks in the past, insurance carriers have limited their participation over the past couple of years. As a result, St. John was not included as an in-network provider in any individual/family plans for 2018. For those whose policies do not cover St. John at the in-network level, care may still be obtained at St. John but may be subject to higher out-of-pocket costs (e.g., deductible and coinsurance). Financial assistance may be available to some patients if they need care through St. John but do not have insurance. Please contact a St. John financial counselor at 918-744-2451 for more information.
St. John shares frustration with patients and loved ones that the health system is not in network in 2018 Marketplace plans. To voice concern on this matter, call the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services at 1-800-318-2596 or visit www.healthcare.gov/contact-us for more options.

I used this lovely springtime photo poster at the beginning of this first full month of spring. Was it only 30 days ago? Today, we should be saying Good-bye April. I searched and I did find a poster saying exactly that. You'll find it at the end of today's post.
But what is in-between the Hello and Good-bye to April? It's all about Time. Look how very quickly this past thirty days has gone by. What have you accomplished in your writing life during that period? Are you proud of all that you did regarding writing this month or are you wishing you had some of those days back again so you could plunge headfirst into the project you neglected?
It might be a bit of both for many of us, and I do include myself in that. Sometimes, I feel like I'm preaching this and that to other writers but I should listen to myself, as well. When I ask if you did this or that and wished you'd really done this or that, I definitely include me. There is no perfect person nor is there any perfect writer.
We're flawed in various ways. Use of our time for writing is only one on the list. Using April 2015 as a self-check, ask yourself these questions:
1. Did I take full advantage of time alloted to writing?
2. Did I fritter away time I might have used for writing?
3. Did I place other things and other people higher than my writing time? (not to worry if you did as there are times when we all need to do this!)
4. Did I start a new writing project?
5. Did I make at least one submission this month?
6. Did I update my writing records?
7. Did I feel inspired to write this month?
8. Should I set a higher goal for next month?
May is almost upon us and delivers 31 days for you and me to do our best to write, to submit, to gather in the various rewards that might be due us. Set yourself a goal for these next 31 days but remember to make it attainable, not something that is so high in the sky you'll never reach it.
And now, it is time to say:

Skip to comments.Wake Up! (Republican Elite Pushing Immigration Bill)
Posted on 06/11/2013 9:36:48 AM PDT by mojito
In 2007, John McCains comprehensive immigrant-legalization bill failed after opponents flooded the Senate with calls, shutting down the switchboard. Despite considerable press hype, the bill didnt even muster a majority on the crucial cloture vote.
It wont be that easy this time. For one thing, they have a better switchboard, Im told. For another, the Republican consultantse.g. Gillespie, Rovewho helped Mitt Romney lose the 2012 election have taken their own failure as an excuse to push what theyve wanted all alonga business-pleasing immigration policy guaranteeing a supply of inexpensive labor from abroad and a stream of campaign donations to pay Republican consultants. It beats rethinking the rest of the GOP agenda.
In fact, despite all the talk of polarization and Citizens United, the big money in the immigration fight almost unanimously favors a bipartisan, legalization-first bill. Kochs included. The GOP donor class is asserting itself....Its spotted what it thinks is an intersection of crude self-interest, high-minded tolerance, partisan strategy and libertarian philosophy.
One of the more influential members of this donorist class is Rupert Murdoch, which means that FOX News has for all intents and purposes switched sides, giving immigration comprehensivists a monopoly in the MSMfive networks to none. As goes Murdoch, so goes Hannity.
If you are a Republican who worries that a flood of low-skilled immigrants would drive down wages and make America an uglier place, where the rich have cheap servants but even diligent unskilled work doesnt afford a life of dignitywell, were sorry. Weve booked our Republican for the panel this weekSenator McCain!
(Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...
I hope the ignorant GOP plans on getting all that legal illegal vote in 2014 because they won't be getting mine.
I really don't think it matters to them anyway. They are all for the Obama agenda.
They are quite content being defunct.
I've done it by e mail again, might as well be peeing into the wind.
This is our Appomattox. The beltway GOP is surrendering. Giving up without a fight to the goose stepping Democratic-Marxist party.
Contact boner at http://www.speaker.gov/Contact/
The GOP can go to hell - F them - F Rubio, McCain, Boehner, Ayotte, et al.
Ill stick w Cruz and Rand and Lee - that's it.
F and rot in hell the rest of them.
My sentiments exactly!
" For another, the Republican consultantse.g. Gillespie, Rovewho helped Mitt Romney lose the 2012 election have taken their own failure as an excuse to push what theyve wanted all alonga business-pleasing immigration policy guaranteeing a supply of inexpensive labor from abroad and a stream of campaign donations to pay Republican consultants. It beats rethinking the rest of the GOP agenda. "
Good analysis....DEADLY accurate.
Great letter! I called her office today, though I'm not in her state. I just told her like I tell them all, they were elected by and paid by Americans to represent Americans. Not people who come here to take advantage of Americans.
" This bill has chain immigration , 100 million more immigrants from the 3rd world. this is an invasion of 3rd world socialist scum."
Thank you for posting that info!!
"If Senators fear losing their office if a bill becoming lawand they tend to be highly risk-awareit often has a way of dying without any fingerprints on it (which is arguably what happened in 2007)."
They fear nothing. Time and again, when entrenched cancers like Juan McCain are challenged in a primary fight, the idiots in their districts, like a dog to its vomit, relect them.
In many ways this is the outcome of April 9, 1865. Probably even General Lee never imagined this.
Folks, these numbers work and I have been calling in-state and out of state Senators this morning.
They voted for cloture which puts them into debate, something we prevented in 2007.
The "establishment" wants to shove National Suicide down our throats. Republicans en masse should revolt and tell them that they better think about paying illegals to register Republican because the rest of us are going to walk if this crap goes through.
Had the same thought.
Once you go down the road of unstoppable Federal power and hostility to popular will, this is the end result.
I was awake in 2001...
is anyone else on this forum awake????
Mickey Kaus, the author, is a great ally on Immigration, but he's a committed Democrat on just about everything else.
He doesn't understand why Conservatives are not energized in 2013 the same way we were in 2006 when we crushed the Bush Amnesty.
So, what's the real reason for Conservative apathy?
Conservatives are completely demoralized and exhausted by the leadership of the Republican Party.
Politically, it has been one betrayal after another for 25 years.
Millions of Conservatives are simply resigned to the fact that America will continue to move Hard Left no matter who we elect or how much we protest.
I tried but, "thanks for calling-—we're busy." was the response...
>Millions of Conservatives are simply resigned to the fact that America will continue to move Hard Left no matter who we elect or how much we protest.
If we give in to defeatism, we'll lose.

A core holding that seeks to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns across market cycles
Oppenheimer Global Allocation Fund is a core holding that is designed to enhance a client's asset allocation in response to changing dynamics in global markets. The Fund seeks to achieve attractive total returns without taking undue risk and has the potential to enhance the risk-adjusted returns of a traditional portfolio.
The Fund seeks to provide flexibility for the core of investment portfolios
The Fund seeks to achieve its goal of providing attractive risk-adjusted returns by actively shifting its allocations across various asset classes. Its small size and flexible mandate allows it to make meaningful shifts to its allocation over time.
The Fund acts on investment theses by making dynamic adjustments to the portfolio
- Mitigating downside risk: In late 2015, the team believed that a rate hike of 25 basis points would exacerbate current macro uncertainties and trigger severe market volatility. In December of that year, it decreased the Fund's risk posture by shifting to an underweight in equities and an overweight in duration via long-dated U.S. Treasuries. The Fund benefitted when global equities declined sharply in early 2016 and 30-Year Treasuries appreciated by 11% through 2/11/16.1
- Active currency management: In early 2016, the team believed the British pound (GBP) would experience significant volatility as a result of the UK's referendum to exit or remain in the European Union. From January 2016 to May 2016, it gradually moved to a short position in the pound of -4%, relative to the benchmark. After the UK voted to leave the European Union, the pound declined to a 30-year low. The Fund's short exposure to the pound, along with other currency hedges, contributed 57 basis points of relative performance year-to-date through 6/30/16.2
The Fund employs a diverse and experienced team with global perspectives
Mark Hamilton serves as CIO Asset Allocation and Alternatives, and Portfolio Manager. He is also Head of the Global Multi-Asset Group (GMAG). As lead portfolio manager of the Global Allocation Fund, Mark is supported by three co-portfolio managers and eight dedicated analysts. GMAG's unique approach to managing portfolios is deeply rooted in the belief that using multiple independent perspectives on markets within a structured decision-making process can deliver better outcomes for investors. The team has four portfolio managers, eight analysts, and two client portfolio managers. The team members collectively speak a total of 15 languages, have seven MBAs, six CFAs and three PhDs.
The Fund leverages two sources of active management
GMAG is a boutique team with 14 investment professionals that provides a top-down source of macro, risk and valuation expertise to the Global Allocation Fund. The Fund is also supported with bottom up analysis provided by: five boutique equity teams with a total of 83 investment professionals, six boutique fixed income teams with 69 investment professionals and four boutique alternative teams with 20 investment professionals.

After nearly three years of finetuning and mostly doing something else, Cop Mafia returns.June 5th, 2015
Cop Mafia starts.
June 17th, 2015
Cop Mafia blows up due to a tiny mod mistake going way out of proportion.
The setup is simple. No crazy mechanics, no unique terminology, no crumpets. Base for 8 players is 6 town, 2 mafia. (If I get more, town and/or mafia players will be added at my discretion.) All Town have investigative abilities of some sort, but the most important change to the game is that, before voting for a lynch, players will vote to conduct a public investigation. This public investigation will reveal the alignment of the player that was voted (this follows normal voting rules), and the day will then proceed to the lynch vote.
In addition, the Mafia, in addition to the nightkill, also has a factional Rolecop ability.
WARNING!: The setup is not open, all roles and rulings regarding the roles are entirely at my discretion.
- Game is easy to explain, in few enough points.
- Base for 8 players is 6 Town, 2 Mafia
- Town all have investigative roles of some sort.
- Before the lynch, players vote to publicly cop someone.

- Linkman

A Delray Beach-area Democratic club is asking Palm Beach County commissioners to consider investigating the powerful South County Political Cooperative for accepting contributions from developers.
``I can`t see this being held up as anything honorable,`` said Sol Hirshorn, a member of the club`s board of directors. ``Ultimately, it`s the public that has to pay for these things.``
The club sent a resolution to commissioners affirming it is not alligned with the cooperative, which is composed mainly of Democratic clubs from the county`s southern tier.
The club also condemned the cooperative for taking money from builders in exchange for supporting new development. The contributions are normally earmarked for other projects or improvements the cooperative seeks.
``The consensus of opinion is this is a horrendous example to set before the public,`` Hirshorn said on Friday.
Andre Fladell, coordinator of the cooperative, dismissed the club`s charges.
``The only thing we`re guilty of is protecting our neighborhood,`` he said.
Fladell noted the cooperative will meet next Wednesday with County Commissioner Ken Adams, County Attorney Gary Brandenburg and representatives of the Florida Atlantic Builders Association to discuss the contributions issue.
``I think we`re doing really right,`` he said.
Hirshorn said the 125-member club`s opposition was sparked by a recent News/ Sun-Sentinel article that detailed the cooperative`s decision to withdraw opposition to a proposed development west of Delray Beach.
The action came after developers agreed to donate $50,000 to the planned south county civic center. Another $30,000 donation was to pay for a traffic light sought by the cooperative.
Adams, the commission chairman, questioned such agreements. He said the donations may have been promised ``to influence opinion in the area.``
