The earliest rule is normally "never more than commit". Over commitment simply because tempting while it maybe, is extremely detrimental. Your client would plan out his routines as every your individual prescribed time frame and when which could not possibly be produced certainly, there would become a dilemma pertaining to either a person and then the client.

In a groundbreaking study from 1972, researchers found that people tend to believe that "what is beautiful is good." That study demonstrated that attractive people were viewed by others as better parents, better spouses, more successful employees, and happier people overall than their less attractive counterparts. However, recent research from the University of Grenada suggests that a woman's beauty may work against her in the court room, particularly if she pleads self defense in the murder of an abusive partner. "One of the most interesting conclusions of the study was that when the woman accused of killing her abuser was attractive, participants attached greater culpability, whereas if considered 'unattractive,' this decreases," explain the researchers.
Another factor that influenced the perceptions of guilt held by the study's mock jurors was how closely the women involved fit a stereotype of an abused woman. If a woman was financially dependent on her partner and appeared to be young and frail, she was considered to have less control over the situation and thus be less culpable for her actions. Meanwhile, women who did not match this stereotype–those who were older, had a career, dressed well, and seemed calm and confident interacting in the court room–were more likely to be thought of as guilty.
This research was published in The European Journal of Psychology Applied to Legal Context.

I have been with my current boyfriend for about three years and we are living together. About a year ago, our relationship started to go bad when I found out I was pregnant and ended up having an abortion. Every time I look at him, all I see is this baby I didn't have and I feel horrible to the point where now I don't like him to even touch me anymore. I don't want to hurt him. I just don't see how I can carry on in this relationship anymore.
Compounding all of that, an old flame from Europe is back in my life, and I am still in love with him and I know he still loves me. This guy was my knight in shining armor in college but he had to return to the U.K., so we couldn't really have anything. But now the possibility is there because our lives are at a stage where we could move and make it work. The old flame looks better and better all the time, but I don't want to hurt anyone. I don't see any route at this point that won't end with at least one person in tears. Please help!
Definitely Out Of My Depth
Presumably there was a good reason why you decided against having a child with the boyfriend. Perhaps you told yourselves that it wasn't the right time, DOOMD, but it seems more than likely you realized, consciously or subconsciously, that he wasn't the man with whom you wanted to have children. Or perhaps the boyfriend was so strongly opposed to becoming a father that you decided to have an abortion -- an abortion you resent him for.
Either way, I don't see how your current relationship survives.
And we haven't even addressed the existence of the Euro. You still have strong feelings for your old college flame, and if you stay with the boyfriend for the rest of your life just to spare his feelings, your resentments will metastasize.
Again, I don't see how this relationship survives.
You've asked me to identify a way out -- a route out -- that spares everyone's feelings. Sorry, but I can't help you. If you pass on the Euro because you can't stand the thought of hurting the boyfriend, you'll be miserable. And if you stay with the boyfriend, you're only postponing his misery. Your resentments will grow and spread, until they kill this relationship. If the Euro has moved on by that point, all three of you will wind up miserable and alone.
I've been married for 12 years. Six months ago, I separated from my wife, and during that time I had an affair. Ultimately, I figured out that I couldn't make a long-term relationship work with this "other woman," and I am now working to reconcile with my wife. But the sex with the affair partner was incredible -- not just because she was new, but because we were highly compatible sexually.
So now I'm worried that though I think my wife and I can rebuild all the other parts of our marriage, I'll always unfavorably be comparing my wife to this other partner. (I fantasize often about the affair partner.) Sex was OK but not great before our separation, but I know we both want it to be a rewarding part of our marriage going forward. Will the memories of my affair partner fade with time? Can I somehow use my affair experience to build a better sex life with my wife?
Can't Shake The Other Woman
Maybe you and the wife just aren't as sexually compatible as you and this other woman, and never will be. Maybe the only thing you can do is focus on the other things the wife brings to the table, the emotional if not sexual satisfactions.
Or ...
Sometimes we feel freer sexually when we're with people we care about less. When we're with someone we're never going to see again (a one-night stand) or someone we probably shouldn't see again (another woman), we're not as concerned about scaring that person off. When we're with someone who has "potential" -- someone with long-term prospects -- we tend to be a little more cautious. The stakes feel higher, and that can be inhibiting. We're less willing to take risks, we're less open, we're less likely to act on our fantasies.
So it's possible that your problem with the wife isn't sexual incompatibility, but sexual inhibition. Have you tried fucking the wife like you fucked the other woman? Have you ever risked fucking the wife like you've fucked women you're never going to see again?
Sixteen months is way too soon to be discussing marriage? Really. Really? How long are we supposed to drag out the courtship, Dan? While I agree with you that three months is much too soon, I'd argue my own personal case: My wife and I married almost a year to the day of our first date, and that was 26 years ago. So while your advice to Lady In A Relationship was sound, your blanket assessment of the relationship landscape overlooks those of us who have a brain. Jussayin' ...
Mr. Right
Good thing I give advice for a living, and don't do binding arbitration. People are free to disregard my rants if they think I got it wrong, and to make up their own minds. And maybe I went a little overboard: Depending on the couple, 16 months could be the right time to start discussing marriage. Still, a long engagement is always a good idea, regardless of how long you've been dating. If you're positive he or she is "the one" at three months -- or eight months, or 16 months -- he or she will still be the one at three years.
My fiancé and I -- we're a straight couple -- are getting married in July. We don't need any more than we already have, so we're asking friends and family to make donations to nonprofits that are dear to us in lieu of traditional gifts. We're including Planned Parenthood on our list, and we would like to include a nonprofit that advocates for marriage equality. Which one would you suggest?
Soon To Be Married
Thanks for thinking of us, which is more than President Obama is willing to do: I would recommend that you put Lambda Legal (they're lawyers, they sue) and Freedom to Marry (they're advocates, they woo) on your list. Unlike most national gay organizations, Lambda Legal and Freedom to Marry do good work and get results. Thanks and congratulations!

Bernardo Silva claims Kylian Mbappe is unsure of future and begs Benjamin Mendy to join him at Manchester City
Etihad new boy is one of several Monaco starlets who caught the eye of big guns with stunning season in Ligue 1
BERNARDO SILVA has claimed Kylian Mbappe is unsure of his future and begged Benjamin Mendy to join him at Manchester City.
The Portugal star is the first of Monaco's starlets to jump ship after an eye-catching season.
Mbappe could be the next as Manchester United plot a mega-money swoop but Silva believes his former team-mate is torn.
He said: "Honestly, I think even he does not know if he's going to stay or go.
"He's a fantastic player who had an incredible second half of the season. I think he is [happy] in Monaco, but if he goes to a big club to play, it's also very good for him.
"He's very young, and it would be nice to stay a year longer, but his age is incredible, so you never know."
City have been linked with another raid on Monaco as they search for new full-backs.
And Silva believes £40m Mendy would be a brilliant signing for Pep Guardiola.
He added: "Benjamin Mendy is a friend and if he can play with me it's better than against me.
"Especially as a left defender and me on the right or in the middle."

Going to the hospital is usually so that we can be taken care of and have our medical issues may be addressed, or so we think. This is not the case at all with the UK medical sector as there have been numerous brain injury claims from it. These claims are from angry patients who feel that they need answers for the unfortunate occurrences that have occurred to them.
It is very hard to fathom how heartbreaking it is to suffer or to know someone who has suffered a brain injury. It is even worse when it has happened in a hospital; a setting that you almost expect nothing to go wrong. This is the situation in many of the hospitals in the United Kingdom where there medical negligence is very prevalent and spreading as a plague.
When you hear brain injury, you probably have no idea what it really means but just the mention of the word 'brain' is enough to give you an awfully grave scare. The term brain injury is when damage has occurred in a brain of a living organism. For more on brain injury you can see here.
With the seriousness of this issue it is important to file for a brain injury claim. The brain isn't something to take lightly as is the centre of all functions in the body. When medical personnel mess with it or ignore any signs of problems with it, this is just clinical negligence at its peak.
Imagine having to go for a surgery expecting that the doctors will make certain that they know what they are doing then further complications occur. How saddling can that be? Brain damage is not only life changing, but also life threatening.
Brain damage happens in many ways in the hospital. This can be during a medical operation gone wrong, especially involving the brain. Another way is when a child is being born and the infant is affected in one way or another. With child birth it is more common.
A brain injury claim will allow that you are compensated and that those involved with this kind of clinical negligence pay a heavy price. According to a story, an extremely disabled ten year old boy from Portsmouth won over 5million pounds in compensation after a hospitals' ignorance left him brain damaged.
With this a medical negligence solicitor is the best to consult as you are guaranteed results. With a good medical negligence attorney you can rest assured that their experience will win you great success and you will be compensated accordingly. Never feel as though it is not your right to file for a claim. It is more than your right to say the least. Medical personnel need to wake up and know that making mistakes on patients in unacceptable and the law that binds them is the same law they are answerable to. So with this, do not suffer in silence.

An Interview with violinist Peter Schuhmayer
This weekend, the Artis Quartet of Vienna performs at the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival–Yale Summer School of Music in northwest Connecticut. Here's an interview with Peter Schuhmayer, the quartet's first violinist, from Norfolk's blog.
When you are away touring, do you bring anything special with you to remind you of home?
I just print out photos of my family for my violin case and keep lots of digital photos in my laptop and mobile phone.
Are there any "good-luck" rituals that you observe while on the road?
When you fly what do you like to read?
Usually I read newspapers or magazines or work some things out on my laptop.
What are the most played songs on your iPod?
What is your favorite concert hall to play in and why?
There are many good concert halls around, but the Musikverein in Vienna is my favorite hall since it just takes me a 5-minute walk to my home.
Do you notice a difference between European and North-American audiences?
They are divided everywhere into the coughing, and the non-coughing.
Is there a work that brings to mind a particularly happy memory?
All the songs I sing with my children.
What is your favorite piece of music and why?
Can't decide.
Who has influenced you the most?
My mother, my wife, and my students.
Is there a work in which your interpretation has changed over the years? What has prompted this re-interpretation?
All pieces are developing constantly (I hope for the better).
When you perform, what do you try to communicate to the listener?
My feelings when I play, and the message of the music as I understand it.
Is there anything about the way classical music is presented to the world that you would like to see change or evolve?
We should probably return to more mixed programs which include more musicians and combinations of musicians in the same concert, as it was done in the first half of 20th century.
Often we hear people say that they don't listen to classical music or go to classical music concerts for fear of not "knowing anything about it" or "understanding it." How would you respond to them?
The roots of any kind of music are the same: express your emotions. Try to follow the emotions in classical music.
For that same group of people, what works would you recommend as an introduction to the genre, and why?
I would recommend highly emotional pieces of any kind.
Viennese violinist Peter Schuhmayer has performed with artists including Mischa Maisky, Christoph Eschenbach, and Richard Stoltzman. Since 1980, as first violinist and founding member of the Artis Quartet of Vienna, he has won prizes at competitions in Cambridge (England), Evian (France), and Yellow Springs (U.S.). His numerous international recording awards include Echo Klassik, Grand Prix du Disque, Diapason d' Or, Prix Caecilia, Indie Award, Wiener Flötenuhr, and Midem Classical Award. He studied at the Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst with Hertha Binde, Josef Suk, Alfred Staar, and Hatto Beyerle and at the University of Cincinnati with the La Salle Quartet. Mr. Schuhmayer won first prize for chamber music and the special prize of the Vienna Philharmonic at the Austrian Youth Competition 1979. He is a past member of the Wiener Streichersolisten and a former guest professor at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz. Currently, Peter Schuhmayer serves as a tutor and jury member and gives master classes for violin and chamber music throughout Europe, Asia, and North America. Since 1996, he has taught violin and chamber music at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna. Mr. Schuhmayer plays a 2001 violin by Johann Rombach.

Actually the UK version of The Dead And The Gone is available for pre-order on UK Amazon, and has been for a month or so. One person ordered a copy sometime around Columbus Day. Its current Amazon ranking, 815933,leads me to believe no one's ordered a copy since then.
The audiobook of the dead & the gone is available at US Amazon, but it doesn't have a ranking yet.

I don't know anything about the audio version of the dead & the gone yet, except its pub date (somewhere around June 10) and publisher (Listening Library, that did such a great job with LAWKI).
The book is third person, but the voice is that of a teenage boy, so I'm guessing they're looking for someone who can convey that (just as Emily Bauer conveyed teenage girl).
When I find out any more details, I'll be happy to share. Discretion is not my middle name (neither is modesty, shyness, or fondofrightwingpoliticians, which really is fond of rightwing politicians and not fond of frightwing politicians which isn't my middle name either)

ZERØ OPTIK began as the passion project of cinematographer/engineer Alex Nelson who wanted to build the world's most well engineered 35mm Pinhole lens. He succeeded. But that wasn't enough for Alex. The next project he'd tackle was going to be far more complex and far more rewarding. And that's where we begin this post… The original Bausch & Lomb Baltars. We sat down with Alex to get an inside look at where ZERØ OPTIK comes from and where it's going.

Baby cereal is one of the first solid foods we introduced to our little ones when they were able to sit up without our support. I've heard of moms who mix in cereal in their child's milk to help fill their tummies before bed. They say it helps with letting them sleep through the night.
Regardless of how you introduce cereal to your little one, there's the notion that you're providing the right nutrients for them. That's why most parents trust Gerber Cereals. Designed to provide your baby with the essential nutrients while exposing them to the tastes of different grains, Gerber Cereals is the number one choice for moms looking to get their child accustomed to eating healthy.
Breastfed babies need an additional source of iron in their diets. Did you know that infant cereals are the number one source of iron for babies 6-12 months among the foods they eat?
Not all infant cereals are created equal, so be sure make sure you're giving your little one cereal fortified with iron, such as Gerber Cereal.
Here are some of the flavors available at your local Target store:
– Gerber Single Grain Cereal Oatmeal
– Gerber Single Grain Cereal Rice
– Gerber Single Grain Cereal Whole Wheat
– Gerber Multi Grain Cereal
Although our youngest enjoys trying out all the different flavors, I recommend starting with the single grain cereals first and working your way to the multi grain ones. This can help with any potential food sensitivities.
Hitting The 12-Month Mark
It seems as though just yesterday we were coming home with our firstborn, and now we have a second child who is hitting the 12-month mark this month.
At this point, we've already introduced our little one to solids, and know what nutrients he needs as he approaches toddlerhood.
A warm plate of Gerber Cereals can do your child's tummy some good in the morning. We've been using warm oatmeal cereals since our little ones were sitting up.
With our youngest turning one, we've been looking into different Gerber snacks for our little one to try. In case you weren't aware, Gerber also has a toddler line of products that contain a variety of nutrients.
Here are six recipes you can try with your growing baby based on age:
1. Apple Banana Cookies: 12 months +
2. Blueberry Banana Smoothie: 6 months +
3. Italian Turkey Meatballs: 12 months +
4. Mini Meatloaves and Veggie Gravy: 12 months +
5. Mixed Berry Smoothie: 6 months +
6. Peaches and Cream Pancakes: 12 months +
Benefits Of Gerber Cereals
For decades, Gerber Cereals have been considered to be the number one food source of iron and a leader in infant nutrition. They provide your baby essential nutrition while exposing them to the tastes of different grains. Here's a list of the reasons why Gerber Cereals are top of mind for most parents:
– They have iron to help support learning abilities;
– Two servings of Gerber Cereal a day has 90% of a baby's daily value of iron;
– They are made with calcium to help build healthy bones and teeth;
– It delivers a nutritional blend of Zinc, Calcium, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and six B Vitamins thanks to Gerber's VitaBlocks for healthy growth;
– It's not made with genetically engineered ingredients; and
– There are no artificial colors or flavors.
If you're planning a trip to Target, there's a 10% Gerber Cereal promotion available through the Target Cartwheel. Click here to learn more.

Chaco Canyon Mouse Pitcher
Chaco Canyon Pitcher – Chaco Canyon culture pottery is a very distinctive variation of Anasazi design that is unique to that area of New Mexico.

Just a little question.. are these pictures by any chance in the public domain? I just wondered.. if it's so, could I please use them in the Seriewikin (since photon are so few there due to problems with swedish PUL law) and if it's OK, do you perhaps have them in a somewhat higher resolution?

I don't know if they are in the public domain.
But I don't think anyone knows who owns the copyright. And McManus and Drayton are both dead so you can't ask them for permission anyway. Use them, I say...

"Who are you people?" Knowing that escape is impossible, Alice Lynn gradually calmed down.
The two men didn't make any sound.
"Hey, I'm asking you, why do you kidnap us?" Alice Lynn cried aloud.
The two men still ignored her.
Never was her so lightly treated, if not for her hands being handcuffed, she would slap them in the face.
Seeing the pale face of the nearby Amy, Alice Lynn can only hug her gently.
"Don't worry, nothing would happen." She said with a smile to the little girl.
Amy didn't make a sound, just looked at her blankly.
The taxi continued to move forward in silent, looking at the constantly disappearing scene outside the window, Alice Lynn felt gloomy.
After nearly an hour of driving, the taxi pulled up in front of warehouse dock.
It was an abandoned worn-out warehouse. In front of the warehouse, two deluxe cars parked.
The scene was very quiet around them, except to the faintly heard ship's sirens in the distance, there was no human voice.
Alice Lynn and Amy were held by the two men to get off the taxi and into the warehouse.
The driver also got off of the car and walked to the front of the deluxe car and entered it to sit in the driver seat.
In the dimly lit warehouse, only one incandescent light bulb was shining. Four men were quietly sitting there, sitting in the middle is a blond youth wearing a high-quality suit and a middle-aged man dressed in a gray suit.
"Nicole, it really is you, asshole." Saw the blond youth, Alice Lynn shouted at once.
"Alice Lynn, this is so un-lady-like." Nicole stood up, smiling.
Alice Lynn suddenly rushed over and tried to wallop his shoulder.
When she came, the two men were about to grab her, but Nicole beckoned with his hand to stop them.
After Alice had hit him a few times, Nicole reached up to her chin.
"Alice Lynn, you're so beautiful. What a pity, why did you do this to me? You know, we have almost reached the marriage stage."
"Who wants to marry someone who can only wag his tail like a dog in front of Adams?" Alice Lynn spat on his face.
Nicole's face was expressionless as he wiped off the face of saliva, suddenly a "plop" sound, with a backhand he slapped her in the face, her whole body fell to the ground.
"You bitch, you think you're so noble? Aren't you following that guy Meng Zhuoer for his money? If I am a dog, you're nothing but a bitch." Nicole pulled her hair and drew her face to him before he exclaimed.
"What qualification a trash like you to compare yourself to Mr. Dai Fei? It's ridiculous." Alice Lynn sneered.
Nicole's fury can't be depleted as he slapped her again in the face until blood dripping on the corner of her mouth.
When he was going to hit her again, the middle-aged man standing next to him opened his mouth to stop him: "Nicole, don't forget, Mr. Adams commanded you to do things."
"Rest assured, Kiro, I did not forget. I'm just being intimate in front of my fiancée, that's all." Nicole let go of Alice Lynn and stood up.
The nearby Amy watched this scene in fear desperately wanted to cry but dared not make any sound. When Nicole left, she immediately ran to Alice Lynn wanted to lift her up, but unable to.
"What do you want?" Alice Lynn slowly stood up, looked at the middle-aged man who is with Nicole.
Kiro smiled like a gentleman and said, "Miss Alice Lynn, we are not here for you. It's just that, this time, you and miss Amy had to go with us, including back to Switzerland later on. This is what Mr. Adams instruct us to do."
"What do you really want to do?" Alice Lynn doesn't believe they would involve so many people to grab them only to have a chat about the old days with her.
"You don't need to worry about this, everything will be arranged by Mr. Adams. During this time, as long as you don't make some irrational behavior, we will be very polite. I hope you don't make it hard for us all."
Though she didn't know what they're trying to do, at least it is safe for now. Alice Lynn somewhat relieved.
At this time, Kiro looked at his watch and said: "Miss Alice Lynn, we need to go now."
"Go where?" She immediately tensed up.
"Where? Of course back to Switzerland. The travel may be long. I hope you don't mind." Kiro said with a smile.
"But my luggage and passport are still in the hotel."
"I already sent someone to get it. Please." Kiro made the ladies first gesture.
Alice Lynn had no choice but to pull Amy's hand to follow behind her.
When they were out of the warehouse, Kiro said to Nicole: "You go with miss Alice Lynn and them. Remember, don't let that thing in the warehouse to happen again."
Nicole shrugged to indicate his promise.
Kiro led the three subordinates to one of the deluxe cars while Nicole and the other man put them into the other car.
"Alice Lynn, I hope you will find a pleasant journey." Sitting with the two of them in the back of the car, Nicole watched Alice's full of anger face and said.
Suddenly, the man who sat in the front let out a cry: "You're not…." Still not finished, the man who was sitting in the driver's seat sent a knockout punch to that man.
Although Nicole didn't know what happened, he still reflexively took out a pistol from around his waist.
He was just about to point the muzzle toward that man, and suddenly he felt an iron-like clamp on his right hand seizing the pistol.
He looked up and saw a strange face smiling at him, followed by a fist that was constantly enlarged. Finally, he doesn't know anything….
"Who, who are you?" Because everything happened so fast, Alice Lynn didn't react when Nicole and his subordinate were being put down. She watched with surprise and fear at the mystery man wearing a hat.
That man ignored her, he quickly took the pistol from Nicole's hand and fired two shots at the tires of the taxi and the deluxe car where Kiro sat not far away from there. The two shots directly hit the targets, all of a sudden, the two cars' tire blew.
When Kiro and his men rushed out of the car preparing to return the fire, the mystery man immediately turned the car around and drove to the outside.
"Quickly get down." That person thundered while driving.
Alice Lynn knew that that was an important time, didn't dare to ask, immediately bent down her and Amy's head.
Just two seconds after they lowered their heads, the right side rear view mirror was shot.
"Doesn't know how to shoot." Alice Lynn seemed to hear the mystery man said such sentence.
"Who are you?" When the car was on the highway five minutes later, Alice Lynn looked at the man's head and asked.
"Ordinary tourist. Hey, kid, you okay?" Masashi took off his hat, turned around, and smilingly asked.
"It's you!" Alice Lynn covered her mouth in surprise.
"Lei….Lei…." The little girl saw him, suddenly burst into tears, and rushed forward.
"Hey, kid, don't move, I'm still driving…." Masashi was caught off guard by her and barely held the wheel.

Mike Miller is set to to make his season debut with the Heat today, which is particularly fortuitous (if I may use that term on a family blog) as the news makes the rounds of Dwyane Wade likely missing more games has resulted in thousands of monkey-punches to the groins of thousands of fantasy basketball teams. Miller will have at least one game in which he gets substantial minutes, maybe more. I'm suggesting owners in leagues with more than 14 teams add Miller, but not any shallower. Remember, it was Miller Time almost exactly 12 months ago after he returned from an injury and he came out rusty. Stayed rusty and was seen as one of the biggest busts of last season. I know streaming is all the rage these days (So is desperation! And Yelawolf, for some reason), but I'm assuming – best case scenario – Miller comes out of the gate rusty and doesn't figure it out for at least a game or two, when – wut, wut – Wade will have returned. Just a theory (based on past history and high probabilities). Scroll down with me for more fantasy basketball news on this MLK Day, won't you?
Andrea Bargnani – Remains day-to-day with a strained calf, which I am told is different from a choked chicken. Bargs isn't likely to play on Monday, despite the fact that Raps coach Dwayne Casey said it wasn't serious. He reminded everyone that the team plays at 4 pm EST today and that Bargs doesn't get out of bed before 5:30.
Rasual Butler – Desperate stream alert! If James Johnson doesn't play Monday, you might want to consider a RaBu Grab. I hear it's torturous, though.
J.J. Redick – Likely to get the starting nod again in place of the injured Jason Richardson. Wish Redick luck. There ain't nothing worse than a guy with two Js in his name shooting jumpers like he's wearing two foam fingers.
Lamar Odom – Said over the weekend that he wasn't mentally prepared for this season after an offseason of family difficulties and thought about taking a year off. I haven't looked further into what those family difficulties may be, but I'm assuming he took the Humphries divorce harder than most. Keep an eye on him. He averaged 4/4/1 in four December games and has gone 8/5/2 in nine January games. It wouldn't cause me to spit-take if he's averaging 15/9/3 by February's end.
Vince Carter – Half-Man, Half-A-Maverick has scored 16 points in each of the last two games, despite being sent back to the bench on Saturday. He's worth owning in deep leagues or keeping an eye on in shallow ones. He's played well in four of his last five games, which would have made owners feel all warm 'n' fuzzy if they had bothered to play him. You gotta warn us when you're planning on showing up, Vince.
Rodney Stuckey – He's come off the bench in each of the last three games since returning from injury to average 11/2.5/3 and .308 from the floor. Right now, he's just skating by on his good looks. He'll get better and find the lineup sooner than later. Especially because Brandon Knight has averaged only 8/4/4 playing almost 10 more minutes a game than Stucks.
Evan Turner – Just like Gary Neal, Turner is day-to-day after contusing his right quad. Look at the bright side, at least he didn't confuse his right quad. Usually when that happens, the right quad thinks it's the left quad and the poor bastard just runs in unending circles until he falls over. The most confusing thing about these quad injuries are why so damn many are happening.
Derrick Favors – Favors left last night's game with a sprained ankle. He's about 50-50 for Tuesday. Mostly this is good news for Jefferson and Millsap owners, but it's also good news for Enes Kanter owners, who could use a little good news considering they own Enes Kanter.
Rudy Fernandez – Left in the first half with an Achilles injury. Bummer. He was averaging 15/3/4.5 in his last three before the injury. Jrue story.
Ekpe Udoh – Four rebounds last night, and he's averaged 2.3 blocks in his last five, as he's putting the pressure on Ibaka to keep pace. Your move, sir(ge)!
Michael Redd – Two points on 0-for-4 shooting last night. He's averaging 5.3 points in his first three games of the season on .278 shooting. He IS averaging a three a game, but so are many other people and those people are doing something else on top of it.
Richard Jefferson – Shot 1-for-7 on Friday, but sank a three. He shot 3-for-6 last night, but missed all three of his attempts from beyond the arc. It's the first game all season Jefferson didn't hit a trey. Without the threes, he's like an uglier version of Richard Jefferson, which falls somewhere just below a moldy starfruit.
Baron Davis – The Knicks said "a late-January return has become more likely than not" for Baron Von Davis. I was down on Davis in the preseason and I'm still down on him, but the Knicks need a guy who can run the floor and distribute the ball. He's a great pickup in deep leagues, might even be a decent pickup in shallow ones.

Juliet mentions that 1417 new children are sexually abused every day in the UK #1417stopso.

Shelagh Fogarty LBC radio.
Juliet starts 1.19 minutes in. Juliet talks about 1,183 children every day who will be sexually abused. She tells us that 80% of the people asking for help to stop will fund their own therapy. StopSO is are asking for funding so that next year they plant less, not more, of the toy windmills. Shelagh asks why this strange attraction exists. Juliet explains that some people are born with a sexual attraction to children. There are men who have looked at legal pornography, and find it harder to get aroused as they age, and start to escalate their porn use. Treatment can help these people. Juliet also talks about people who have had a traumatic event (often around the age of 8 or 9) that seems to have turned their sexual attraction towards children, and through therapy they heal the trauma, and their sexual attraction reverts to adults. She mentions that some people choose to take medication to reduce their sex drive to avoid harming a child.

BBC Radio Coventry and Warwickshire: The Vic Minnett show, ran a 1 1/4 hour programme about paedophiles, including a 20 minute recording with one of the people that a StopSO therapist worked with, and subsidised, who was struggling with inappropriate thoughts of children. Then Juliet Grayson, chair of StopSO comments. There was a part where Juliet reports that the re-offending rates are very low for sex offenders (for theft the re-offending rate is 42% within a year, for a sexual offender to commit a further sexual offence is 2-3% within two years). Vic said, "Is that because the prison system works?" What Juliet could have said at that point, is that the vast majority of sex offenders do not get put into prison. If we look at the number of people convicted for committing a sexual offence, and compare that to the number of victims of a sexual offence (based on figures from the Crime Survey for England and Wales) that gives us a more realistic sense. For sexual offending, 1 person is convicted for every 100 people who have been a victim of a sexual offence. 1%. (NB If you include internet offences then it is a much lower percentage that is convicted compared to those committing offences). So relying on prison is not a good solution to this problem!

Article in I,SCIENCE by Bruno Martin titled Treating Child Abuse And Paedophilia. He writes how 'Paedophile is not a synonym for child molester. While abusing children is a choice, suffering from sexual attraction towards children is not. Many paedophiles are simply born that way, and struggle with their sexual desire throughout their adult lives. Some give in to the desire, and offend, while others never harm children. Drawing this distinction is important for the prevention of child abuse—and recent research has shown that, if you want to understand their behaviour, you need to start with their brains.'

- Additions that create residences on slopes of five percent or greater with a total square footage equal to or greater than a percentage of the lot size, based on a sliding scale tied to slope of the lot; and
- When the Community Development Director, in his or her opinion, has determined the public interest would be better served by referral of an item directly to the RDRC.
The RDRC meets the first and third Mondays of the month at 5:30 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers, 600 Elm St., San Carlos.

In an attempt to highlight the importance of whistleblowers, Julian Assange chose to have WikiLeaks' Collateral Murder footage as background for his speech at the Sam Adams Awards, an award dedicated to whistleblowers. The ceremony was organized by the Oxford Union. As a result of the video playing in the background and unsuccessful attempts to vet Julian's speech, the Union pulled the live stream from the event and spent two days substituting the US Army massacre footage with their logo. The Union claimed they feared that the US government would take legal action concerning "copyright" of the Apache gun camera footage. Wikileaks advised the Union that by law and practice the US government does not claim copyrights on footage or documents that it produces, the Union still decided to censor the video.

Meconium Aspiration Syndrome Malpractice Lawyers
When a baby breaths meconium (newborn's first bowel movement) immediately before or during delivery into her lungs they may develop a complication known as meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS). When properly treated with suctioning and a course of antibiotics, most babies with MAS fully recover. However, when medical staff fail to identify newborns with MAS, the child risks serious complications that can lead to permanent injuries and disabilities.
Causes Of Meconium Aspiration
Most cases of MAS derive from the fact that the baby suffered some form of fetal distress during the delivery process. When babies are not getting an adequate supply of blood and oxygen, their bodies are thought to respond to the stress by expelling meconium. Knowing the complications that can ensue following fetus distress, doctors must carefully monitor the health of the baby. The most important method of monitoring fetal health is believed to be fetal monitoring in order to determine a complication at its onset.
Signs Of Meconium Aspiration Syndrome
Any obstetrician should know the dangers and signs of MAS. Children born that have meconium in the amniotic fluid are at a much higher risk, 100-fold, of developing respiratory diseases and other complications. When the meconium is released into the amniotic fluid, it is visible as a dark green color and should be the first sign that the child may have breathed in the substance. In addition, the child often will have symptoms such as:
- Labored breathing
- Bluish skin color
- Limpness
If the child is treated for MAS immediately, they most likely will not have any long term problems. However, when these signs are ignored due to negligence, the child is in danger of severe health problems.
Serious Complications Derived From Untreated MAS
When MAS occurs, most likely the child already had a difficult birth, causing distress. The attending doctor and nursing staff has a responsibility to be aware of any possible problems that may arise from the stress of birth, including MAS. When a newborn is not treated for this condition, the child will often times have difficulty breathing and become short on oxygen. The lungs can be greatly compromised as well. Due to these complications, the child may suffer:
- Aspiration pneumonia
- Collapsed lung
- Brain damage
- Persistent pulmonary hypertension- inability to get adequate oxygen supply throughout the body
These complications, especially brain damage, can lead to permanent mental and physical disabilities. The true extent of the damage may not be noticeable at first, but as the child develops, cognitive and behavioral issues may become apparent. These can be life long disabilities that can cause physical, emotional and financial problems for both the child and their family.Medical Malpractice Lawyers Prosecuting Meconium Aspiration Cases

Report identifies undeclared missile operating bases in North Korea as regime tests new weapon
FORUM Staff
North Korea continues to sustain an estimated 20 undeclared missile operating bases, and a U.S. think tank says it has identified at least 13 of them. Sakkanmol, a site identified as close to the border with South Korea, appears to be "active and being reasonably maintained," the report said.
(Pictured: A television news station broadcasts a picture of the dismantling of North Korea's Punggye-ri nuclear test site. North Korea said it had fully demolished its only known nuclear test site in May 2018.)
The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) report said improvements to infrastructure and other maintenance have occurred at these facilities in the wake of ongoing negotiations to denuclearize North Korea.
"While some of the information used in the preparation of this study may eventually prove to be incomplete or incorrect, it is hoped that it provides a new and unique open-source look into the subject that others may build on," the November 2018 report stated.
Within days of the CSIS report, news came that North Korea leader Kim Jong Un oversaw testing of a "newly developed ultramodern tactical weapon," leaving analysts to wonder what else the regime could be hiding and what message Kim is trying to send.
"They're trying to signal that they are willing to walk away from talks and restart weapons testing," opined Adam Mount, a member of the Federation of American Scientists, according to Voice of America News. "It is the most explicit in a series of escalating statements designed to send this message."
A U.S. State Department spokesman, however, said the test would not derail efforts to persuade North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons program.
"We remain confident that the promises made by President [Donald] Trump and Chairman Kim [Jong Un] will be fulfilled," the U.S. State Department spokesman said, according to Voice of America.
Multiple news reports said Kim visited North Korea's Academy of Defense Science to supervise testing of a "state-of-the-art weapon" developed under his leadership to safeguard North Korean territory and "significantly" improve the combat power of the North Korean army.
Little else is know about the weapon, but experts say it did not appear to be the type of long-range missiles frequently fired by the North. What remains to be seen is whether the North desired the test to be a less provocative message that it intends to continue developing weapons for self-defense.
"It may be that the North is releasing a little bit of information with the purpose of enhancing its leverage in negotiations that are likely to take place in the future," Han Yong-sup, a professor at the Korea National Defense University, told Stars and Stripsnewspaper. "What they are saying is, 'We'll keep developing weapons like this unless the outside world or the U.S. takes corresponding measures.'"
As for the CSIS report, its researchers and authors Joseph Bermudez, Victor Cha and Lisa Collins, used satellite imagery to identify remote sites scattered in mountainous areas across North Korea. These sites could be used for all classes of ballistic missile from short-range up to and including intercontinental ballistic missiles.
"Missile operating bases are not launch facilities," Bermudez wrote. "While missiles could be launched from within them in an emergency, Korean People's Army (KPA) operational procedures call for missile launchers to disperse from the bases to pre-surveyed or semi-prepared launch sites for operations."
Missile operating bases are permanent facilities that contain a unit's headquarters, barracks, housing, support maintenance and storage, the report said. North Korea's military policy dictates that it remains in a state of war, and its missile operating bases display distinct characteristics, the report outlined. Among them:
- They are generally rudimentary, and except for headquarters and cultural structures, possess few large buildings or paved roads.
- With only a few exceptions, they are in mountainous terrain, often spread out within narrow dead-end valleys. This often results in their lacking significant physical security measures and having only a basic entrance security checkpoint.
- Excluding their associated agricultural support infrastructure, they are physically small.
- They almost always consist of a network of underground facilities to house the unit's transporter-erector-launchers (TELs) or mobile-erector-launchers (MELs), a ready inventory of missiles and warheads and other technical/launch support vehicles and equipment.
- They are not launch facilities. While missiles could be launched from within these bases in an emergency, KPA ballistic missile tactics and doctrine call for TELs and MELs to disperse from missile operating bases to pre-surveyed and semi-prepared launch sites for operations.
- These bases simply do not have the appearance of missile operating bases as seen in the United States, Russia, China or Europe.
North Korea has not acknowledged any of these bases, according to Reuters. Doing so, analysts say, is an important part of any denuclearization deal.

One of my most popular posts are the Diaper Babies from my baby shower back in 2012 for my son. I always love and appreciate creative and unique ways to give the mom to be some of the essentials. Being that the mother to be was my Sister-In-Law…and my brother is one of THE biggest Star Wars fans I know, I decided to use items off their registry to make an R2D2 Diaper Cake. This also would be the perfect decor for a Star Wars Themed Baby Shower!
How to Make an R2D2 Diaper Cake
This adorable was actually my inspiration for the entire project. Isn't it adorable?! I knew it would be the perfect finishing touch for the R2D2 Diaper Cake!
First, take your diaper wipe containers and hot glue the baby powder to the top (don't be afraid to be generous with the glue, they will be able to remove it later to use the items). Set aside and start rolling the diapers and use the to secure.
Now tip the baby bathtub vertically and use your dowel rods to secure the tub to the R2D2 legs. Use extra clear bands and hot glue for this process (again, don't be afraid to be generous with the glue). Next, use a clear band to secure the diaper bags to make the front wheel. Then get to work filling the tub with all the rolled diapers…this part may take a while…
Finally, add a cute bow on top of the dowel on either side of the legs and you're done! Now, I'm going to tell you to be VERY careful transporting your R2D2…like super duper careful…sadly this little R2D2 didn't quite look this cute when he made it to the shower. Clearly, I blame the Dark Side!
If you're on the prowl for more baby shower ideas, be sure to check out my Dr. Suess One Fish Two Fish or The Beatles Baby Shower Themes.
Thanks for stopping by–be sure to sign up or follow me on social media….I'd love to be friends!
That's My DOSE of DIY!

Child support is a substantial commitment. Under Florida law, child support payments are intended to be used for your child's portion of expenses such as rent, electricity, food, transportation, and his or her hobbies/entertainment. Determining the appropriate child support payment amount and method can seem daunting, but having a good understanding of the process is invaluable.
Both parents have a monthly child support obligation. If the child lives with his or her mom, then the child's dad sends his monthly contribution to mom so she can add it to her contribution and use the combined monthly total to pay the child's hobby/entertainment expenses and portion of the household bills. Child support obligations are determined by a three-step process.
1. Both parents' income, before expenses, are added together to get a combined income. For example, if both parents make close to minimum wage and dad's income is $1,290 per month and mom's income is $1,060 per month, the combined income is $2,350.
2. Each parent's proportion of the combined income is calculated. In this example, dad's income is 55 percent of the combined income. Mom's income is 45 percent of the combined income.
3. Each parent is assessed a child support obligation proportionate to his or her percentage of the combined income. The Florida legislature has a child support guidelines chart, which provides a predetermined basic monthly child support amount based on the parents' combined income. For the purposes of the example, the chart indicates the basic child support obligation for a combined income of $2,350 is $515 per month. Dad would be responsible for 55 percent of the $515, or $283.25 per month. Mom would be responsible for 45 percent of the $515, or $231.75 per month.
Once the court has calculated the child support, the court will decide to whom and how the payments will be made. The court can order that the child support payments be made directly to the parent with whom the child lives. If child support payments are made directly, the parents are responsible for keeping accurate records indicating how much and when each payment is made. Alternatively, the court can order child support payments to be made to the state disbursement unit, where it is collected, recorded, and disbursed. The court can order that the child support be paid voluntarily or by an automatic deduction from each paycheck.
Parents are not allowed to stipulate to a lower child support payment. Only a court order can create or change a child support obligation. However, child support payments can be reduced or increased depending on the proper application of allowable deductions. What constitutes an allowable deduction has been the subject of much controversy and subsequent litigation. Some allowable deductions include the following:
An experienced family law attorney will know the most current allowable deductions.
If you fail to make timely child support payments, you can be held in contempt of court. The court has several tools to encourage parents to pay child support. It can suspend privileges such as the privilege to drive, operate a business, or travel abroad. If you fall behind in child support, the court can order you to sell almost anything you have of value. Additionally, parents who owe overdue child support must use any income tax returns towards their child support balance. Moreover, if the court determines the late-paying parent has money or valuables and is not paying off the child support debt, the court can have him or her put in jail for 5 months and 29 days.
If you are concerned that your child support payments haven't been accurately calculated or paid out, an experienced family law attorney can determine the appropriate child support payment amount and method. If you are facing a child support obligation, hiring an attorney is not an expense; it's an investment in your future.

Heya, Merry Christmas. I'mma go eat some dessert and watch Abridged Broly.
Month: December 2016
The First Week Off
So as of early this week I decided to take a break from most social media until New Years. Let's face it, the world sucks. But I really want to get into the Christmas spirit to keep myself sane, so I prescribed myself a lack of Facebook and Twitter to allow that to happen for self-care.
My prompt was on For The Win though, so that's pretty cool. No spoilers but it was well cool.
Enchiladas all night
So I was up until 2:30 eating homemade enchiladas and other gubbins. So I'm a bit out of it so yeah. It was a hell of a lot of fun.
[LATE] Sick And New Computer (And Phone)
The title pretty much says it all. I'm feeling sick, but on the plus side I replaced my phone and computer so I guess that's pretty hype.

A Fredericksburg Anniversary Shoot
- Rob + Alicia | Married
photographer that has shot a portrait session with a dog involved knows that it can be challenging. I recently shot an engagement session with 4 DOGS! It's tricky to try to contain them and make them photogenic. Not all dogs have been trained as well as my Bokeh boy :). However, Rob and Alicia brought their puppy, Granger to their shoot and I was SO impressed with her. Not only do Rob and Alicia have incredible modeling skills, Granger does too!!! So well behaved! I loved meeting this sweet little family in downtown Fredericksburg for their 2 year anniversary shoot this week.

Welcome to part 3 of the epic tale of my upcycled denim skirt.
Where did we stop? Oh, yes … I was pondering how I could make my panels actually fit around me.
To achieve that, I took my Simplicity 2211 and put it down on some brown paper. Then I folded it in half, and started playing with the panels. At some point it occured to me that I could use the angled top of the front panels as pockets, and that made me very happy 🙂 Skirts should have pockets.
So in the end I drew around the front and back panels (having made the back longer than the front by two stripes), copied the new pieces, drew some pockets (generally following the Jalie ones) and cut all the new pieces from stash rags.
Yup, it's got roses and skulls in the pockets 🙂 And the side panels were cut from leftovers from the above mentioned Jalie jeans.
Then I put it all together:
Put in a zip:
Now, as you can see, that was not my finest work. I blame the new adjustable invisible zipper foot. Maybe I should have tried it out on some scraps first. Lesson learned.
Finally, I added a small waistband – I wanted this to sit low on my hips, so didn't do a "proper" waistband.
And that, my friend, is the story of the Chevron Jeans skirt 🙂 Thanks for staying with me, I know it was a bit lengthy!
The back has a tiny issue, as you can see – it's forming a sort of beak. I'm not too bothered by it, but would love to hear how to avoid this next time round!
