Served at the brewpub from tap into a sampler shaker. Poured yellow-orange with a one finger slightly off-white head that subsided to a minimal amount quite quickly. Maintained phenomenal lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt and citrus hop. The flavor was of sweet malt, citrus hop, and slight cream. It had a medium feel on the palate with mild carbonation. Overall this was a pretty nice IPA. It was nicely balanced and light. It was advertised at 84 IBUs but I don't think they all showed up for the party. It had a good aroma but it was fairly weak in intensity. This is a must try if you are in the area.

Ahh an new IPA. Probably the one style I can use to judge a new brewer the best as it is a hard one to hide a flaw in for sure. I hastily ordered this one up and enjoyed it with my burger. Pours a hazy, medium amber color with a light, wispy head that quickly faded and left behind only token lacing on the sides that itself faded out quite quickly in a few moments. Aroma is light, but balanced. Small amount of pine coming through now and a light touch of a biscuit like malt note in the back poking its head through. Smooth, easy transition on the flavor with light hops that barely oucker the tongue and a rich malt backbone that provides a decent amount of depth but the lack of a real hop bite really keeps it from going anywhere. Taste fades out quickly on me leaving me looking for more.
Overall it was decent, but nothing really standing out from the crowd here at all. Needs more hops! Very hard to tell the difference between this and the pale, seemed identical to me.

On tap at the LAB and same as it ever was.
Poured in a pint glass. A foggy orange with a full dirty white head that hung for a good minute. Almost no smell just a hint of orange. The first sip goes down smooth too easy with no bitterness, unfortunately. As it settles down your throat the hops start to make their precense known on the back but strong.
Second sip still no smell, bit of a resin feel on the tongue now, hops hitting the tip of the mouth too.
Overall an average IPA.

a: standard half-pint glass, the beer is a hazy orange-golden color, lots of white head with good retention, nice lace
s: first up on the nose is a pungent floral honeysuckle aroma - weird and a bit distracting, very perfumey, pale malt structure and some powdery yeast, grassy citrus aromas
m: carbonation medium-high, body light-medium
t: pale malt body of a moderate sweetness, flavors of honeysuckle, not sure if that's a hop contribution or what, some grass and citrus, bitterness levels around moderate, perfume lingering in the aftertaste
d: not really digging the floral side of this ipa - it's almost cloyingly so, especially on the nose, glad to not have full pint

On-tap at Lexington Avenue Brewery, Asheville, NC
A: The beer is clear yellowish amber in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high off white head that has good retention properties and hardly died down, also leaving lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of citrusy hops are present in the nose.
T: Like the smell, the taste is citrusy with flavors of oranges and grapefruit and also has a light to moderate amount of carbonation.
M: IT feels medium-bodied and relatively crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This is a nice basic IPA and has nothing over the top in therms of hop flavors or too much bitterness.

On draft at the brewery.
Poured a hazy burnt orange hue with a half finger foy white head. There was decent retention and good lacing.
The smell featured muted tropical fruits and a heavy caramel malt.
The hops were tropical in nature and left a soapy aftertaste. The malts were present and slightly sweet, but finished dry.
Overall a subpar IPA. Certainly not Asheville's finest.

Served on-tap at LAB (Lexington Ave Brewery) in Asheville, NC
A: Pours a relatively clear golden amber in color with light amounts of active visible carbonation near the surface of the beer and some golden yellow + apricot highlights. The beer has a half finger tall off-white head that slowly reduces to a thin film covering the majority of the surface of the beer with a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Light to moderate amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate aromas of citrus/orange and citrus/grapefruit hops over a lighter aroma of caramel malts.
T: Upfront there is a light flavor of caramel malts without much associated sweetness which is followed by light to moderate flavors of citrus/orange and citrus/grapefruit hops. Light amounts of bitterness which fade pretty quickly.
M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp.
O: An easy to drink and enjoyable simple IPA - not too aggressive in the flavors of the hops or the bitterness. Pretty well balanced.

First had: on tap at LAB, Asheville
Clearish amber pour with a small cap of white head that receded to a ringlet and left a bit of lacing on the glass. Light citrus hops in the aroma, distant biscuity malts. Citrus hops were the dominant factor in the taste, but still fairly muted, sweet caramel malt base with a touch of honey. Light-medium body, okay mouthfeel. Drinkable, but nothing great going on here.

Poured on-tap at the brewpub and served in a shaker pint, the beer is a bright, hazy, orange-copper coloring with a dense, foamy, clingy, white head. Nose of tangerine and apricot, cedar notes, and a subtle caramel and bready backbone. Flavors are roasted and tropical fruit forward, with pineapple and melon notes, on a peppery dry hopped backbone. Smooth and mid-bodied, with a spiced and bitter hops aftertaste. Smooth, dry finish, with a resinous linger. Solid brew!

In this struggle
Are we dead or alive?
Freedom is not existence
It's how we survive
Shake our grief
Hold on to belief
It can't enslave us forever
There is relief
No change will be permanent
Our strength enduring bright incandescent
Take a chance before we fall
Backs against the wall
And the sun will rise
Dawn will break through the blackest night
Distant in its glow
This shall pass be still and know
And there's heartache
As we search to connect
Even just for a moment
Pretend we're content
There is love
Know that we are one
We are all in this together
Weather the storm
Look into each other's eyes
Make the connection before it dies
It will all disseminate
As we consummate
And the sun will rise
Dawn will break through the blackest night
Distant in its glow
This shall pass be still and know
[Lead: Demmel, Flynn, Flynn / Demmel]
Is it hopeless?
Will the fear take control?
Don't succumb to the numbing
Sting of defeat
Take this hate
Let the bile stagnate
Hoist the head of Goliath
Bask in its grace
Stars realign in the sky
Glaciers may melt and the oceans rise
Waves will come crashing ashore
But withstand the roar
And the sun will rise
Dawn will break through the blackest night
Distant in its glow
This shall pass be still and know

MDF at The Barclays, but his FedEx Cup points standings were still high enough to qualify for this weeks Deutsche Bank Championship. This week is very important for KJ as the last chance for KJ to get into the top 70 ranking to play in the next FedEx Cup playoff tournament. He started out this week at rank 69, so he will need to play fairly well in order to maintain that position or go higher up in rankings to have a guarenteed spot to play in the BMW. KJ's putting and driving game have been on point, but his iron game is not performing as well as it could. With some extra work in the mornings and after the rounds, KJ will be playing his hardest to qualify for the next playoff event.
K.J. Choi is guaranteed a place on the International Team for The Presidents Cup in October of 2015, having been named as Vice-Captain by Nick Price on Wednesday.
He could guarantee himself a spot as a player should he finish inside the top 10 in points or be chosen as a Captain's Pick when the teams are selected in the fall of 2015. Choi currently ranks 19th in International points.
Either way, the 43-year-old Choi understands the importance of his participation. The Presidents Cup 2015 will be played in Choi's home country of South Korea in Songdo IBD, Incheon City. It's the first time the biennial event will be played in Asia.
"I am feeling immense obligation and burden," Choi said in his opening remarks at the Captain's announcement that took place at the Champion Tour's Big Cedar Legends of Golf presented by Bass Pro Shops, as Price and Jay Haas were named captains for next year's event.
"Until now, The Presidents Cup was held in an English-speaking world, and this is the first time that it's being held in a non-English speaking world. With The Presidents Cup being held in Korea, I am quite sure that there will be renewed ideas of what golf is."

House Republicans are being pulled from both sides as they prepare to consider the Senate's immigration reform bill. Tea-party groups are lobbying House lawmakers, seeking to stiffen conservatives' spines and derail the Gang of Eight's legislation; meanwhile, prominent senators such as John McCain are urging their House counterparts to pass the bill largely intact. "I think Republicans realize the implications for the future of the Republican Party in America if we don't get this issue behind us," McCain said.

Pittsburgh has various treatment alternatives for people struggling with a chronic opioid addiction. Prescription opioids have become a substantial nationwide problem with more people now dependent on them than heroin. With the unprecedented rise in opioid addiction over the past decade, methadone and suboxone have become increasingly needed as treatment interventions to assist those coping with opiate withdrawal symptoms. Pittsburgh maintains a significant number of approved physicians able to write suboxone prescriptions. Suboxone is now more popular and is widely available across the U.S. based on its positive track record in alleviating opioid withdrawal. If you are a local physician aiming to treat Pittsburgh residents, you may purchase a featured listing at the top of this page insuring that your medical services will be found by prospective patients searching our website for quality opioid treatment.
Naloxone Reverses Opioid Overdose and Saves Lives
More communities across the U.S. are facing the devastation of opioid overdose. The impact on families is profound as they often struggle with questions of "Could we have done more?" and ponder what else must be done to address this growing national epidemic.
Highlighted in the news this week was the heroin overdose death of a Louisville cheerleader and the suspected opioid overdose death of a 27 year old man in North Carolina found slumped behind the wheel of his pick-up truck with an empty bottle of painkillers and a spoon beside him.
Naloxone is an FDA-approved medication that reverses the effects of opioid overdose. It is an opioid antagonist and consequently knocks opiates off of the body's opioid receptor sites thus reversing central nervous system and respiratory depression which are the most dangerous consequences of opioid overdose. In many cases, naloxone quickly restores breathing and allows overdose victims to regain consciousness in a relatively short period of time. Naloxone … Read more
Canadian Press Publishes Article on Benefits of Methadone
Further validating the merits of opioid treatment using methadone is a recent article by The Canadian Press outlining the findings of Canada's Medical Health Officer in British Columbia, Dr. Perry Kendall.
Dr. Kendall's report documents that individuals in opioid substitution therapy are twice as likely to survive compared to those who obtain opioids illegally on the street. Those in opioid addiction therapy were also found to be much more cost effective to society (about $4200 per year for treatment) compared to those with untreated addictions whose costs are estimated to be $45,000 per year collectively in health complications, law enforcement involvement, and other social problems such as loss of income.
The province of British Columbia is currently treating over 15,000 residents for opioid addiction. Their health minister, Terry Lake, is quoted as saying that he was encouraged by the findings in the report and that he knows opioid substitution therapy is not only saving lives, but equates to significant savings … Read more
Methadone and Other Medications
Methadone is FDA-approved for pain management and the treatment of opioid addiction. Methadone is a relatively safe and highly effective medication when used exactly as prescribed. It is currently in use in the United States and around the world following years of conclusive research on methadone's efficacy and safety.
It is important for patients receiving methadone to know that it can interact with other central nervous system depressants like alcohol and benzodiazepines such as xanax, klonopin, valium, and librium as well as similarly acting non-benzodiazepine agents like ambien (a popular sleep aid). When methadone is mixed with these other medications, there is an increased risk of sedation and loss of consciousness. In extreme cases, individuals mixing methadone and other CNS depressants have gone into respiratory failure.
For those who have chosen to receive methadone in an opioid treatment program, they will discover that a proper dose of methadone not only eliminates opiate withdrawal & cravings, but will also block … Read more
New Opioid Treatment Facility in Philadelphia
The Healing Way is a newly opened opioid treatment facility in Philadelphia, PA offering methadone maintenance and outpatient therapy for opioid addicted individuals. They treat other substance addictions as well.

Located at 7900 Frankford Avenue, The Healing Way is conveniently accessed in the northeast Philly area. As their clinic is new, its official website is not yet active but residents of Philadelphia may want to bookmark their site for future reference at www.TheHealingWay.net.

text: Fiscal Cliff Fears Damage Construction Jobs, Consumer SentimentNational payrolls, however, held hopeful signs for housing.By Claire Easley The home building industry was served mixed economic signals today in a series of reports that held a combination of hopeful and dismal signs. November's jobs report, released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, surpassed economists' expectations with a 146,000 rise in payrolls, and a drop in unemployment to 7.7%. The report was particularly bright for 25- to 34-year-olds, which as Trulia economist Jed Kolko pointed out, are of "prime age for housing demand." Among that age group, 75.2% held jobs in November, and the unemployment rates was 7.9%, the lowest seen in nearly four years. Job growth also was promising in what Trulia considers "clobbered metros," defined as the areas that experienced the steepest home price declines during the bust and have the highest current vacancy rates. In those areas, job growth picked up to an annualized rate of 0.9% through October, though still stood behind the national average of 1.4% for the period. However, the good news in employment did not extend to the construction industry, where employment fell by 20,000 jobs in November, and the industry's unemployment rate grew to 12.2%. Residential building contractors lost 6,800 workers during the month, while residential specialty contractors gained 3,200 new workers. Residential contractor jobs contracted by 3,600. According to a survey by the Associated General Contractors of America, a significant portion of the blame rested on the threat of the country going over the fiscal cliff in January. Of the 551 construction firms surveyed, 67% said they were postponing hiring for fear of what going over the fiscal cliff might mean for their businesses, 65% reported delaying or cancelling capital expenditures, and 32% reported having already laid off workers. Fiscal cliff fears also were evident in the mid-December Reuters/University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment index, released today. The index fell by 8.2 points to reach the lowest reading since last year. "Slowly, but surely, consumers are starting to become more aware of the so called 'fiscal cliff' and its implications," wrote Leslie Levesque, senior economist at IHS Global Insight. "It was a matter of time before the thought of higher taxes crept into consumers' outlook. This alters perceptions of future financial situations, job prospects, and the health of the economic recovery."However, those fears mainly focused on the future. The current conditions index held nearly steady with only a 0.8% drop to a reading of 89.9, while the outlook index fell 13 points to a reading of 64.6. Whether those fears will be realized has yet to be seen.Claire Easley is a senior editor at Builder. Learn more about markets featured in this article: Greenville, SC, Ann Arbor, MI.

The reasons people favor prenuptial agreements vary but are often related to asset protection. Prenuptials may deal with what happens to homes owned separately before marriage and upgraded during marriage. Another area is inheritance. A spouse who expects to come into an inheritance may want to strategize about what will happen to it if the marriage fails.]]> Maintenance after a divorce also figures prominently into prenuptial agreements. Spousal support is usually given by a moneyed spouse to one who may not have worked outside the home for some time and have less disposable income after divorce. Setting up a system that allows for a spouse who earns less to acclimate to divorce or to live in a manner that approximates the lifestyle they enjoyed while married is considered. Some couples will decide on a maintenance schedule that parallels the length of time the marriage lasted.
While couples where one or both partners have significant assets may be drawn to a prenuptial agreement, individuals in their 20s and 30s may benefit also. Questions as to whether income should be deposited in a mutually shared account or maintained separately are easily decided. In this way, the prenuptial agreement sets the stage for the remainder of the marriage.
Protecting assets spouses may have had prior to marriage may be accomplished through a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement. Obtaining the guidance and insight of an attorney proficient in family law may offer safeguards that the agreements are made properly and will stand the test of scrutiny.
Source: The Huffington Post, "Prenuptial Agreements: The Ultimate Symbol of Love?", Justine Borer, August 22, 2014]]>
A couple legally married in another country may divorce in the U.S., provided that the court that handles their divorce has jurisdiction over such matters. Jurisdiction over such issues varies depending on the state. In Florida, one of the parties to a divorce must live within the state for a period of six months before they are able to file. Having a valid divorce decree in the U.S. may not void the marriage in some countries. It might be a good idea to consult with an attorney who may provide clarification on such issues.]]> Assets are another matter. Like any other divorced couple in this country, property is divided in a well-defined process specific to each state. However, asset ownership in other countries may not be known, and even if it is divided in a divorce decree issued in the U.S., the transfer of ownership from one party to another may not be enforceable on assets held outside the country. Dividing assets there may require a decision by a foreign court.
Custody, visitation and child support issues agreed to in the divorce may be problematic if the couple is still considered married in a foreign country. An attorney experienced in divorce law may provide insight into divorces complicated by foreign-held assets and marriages originating outside the U.S.

A court will take into account factors such as the length of the marriage, the standard of living established during the marriage, financial resources of each spouse and the non-financial contributions to the marriage to determine alimony. Marriage lengths are generally broken down into durations of less than seven years, seven to 17 years and more than 17 years.]]> When an individual is transitioning to single life after a marriage, temporary alimony may be awarded to bridge this gap. It is generally for a period of two years or less. Rehabilitative alimony is slightly different in that it is designed to help support a spouse while he or she develops skills to become financially self-sufficient over a defined period of time.
Permanent alimony could be awarded by a court after long-duration marriages when a spouse is unable to financially provide an equivalent standard of living experienced during the marriage. In certain cases, it may also be granted for marriages of a shorter duration. Except for unusual circumstances, the amount of the award must be determined in such a way that the payer is not left with significantly less net income than that of the recipient's income.
Determining spousal support in Florida could be complicated. Anyone facing dissolution of a marriage may want to enlist the services of an attorney in order to help them understand the law and to represent them in proceedings if they so choose.

The state defines property as anything that is real or personal, tangible or intangible or anything that may produce income whether that income is passively or actively earned. The law provides that an agreement may cover the right of either party to protect either a current or future interest in any property covered in the agreement.]]> A premarital agreement enables the parties to the agreement to determine how property may be bought, sold, traded or otherwise used during or after a marriage. They may also make any agreement that does not go against established law in the state or anything that may otherwise be criminal in nature. The agreement may also be considered null and void if either party can prove that he or he did not agree to it voluntarily.
The use of a prenuptial agreement may define the rights and responsibilities of a married couple in the event that the couple gets divorced or one party were to pass away. Such a pact may make it easier for those with a business, expensive assets or any other property that they want to protect from a spouse should the marriage end.

According to Howard, his entire income goes to his first wife, who takes out expenses for herself and the couple's children. Then, she sends Howard the remaining $5,878 per month. As a result, Howard is unable to pay the $325,000 he promised to Ghent as part of their divorce settlement.]]> Howard alleges that he knew he would be unable to pay the amount but that he was extorted and blackmailed into the agreement. The relationship with Ghent lasted only a year, and in 2013, Ghent claimed that Howard had punched and kicked her, and she took out a protective order. Howard signed the agreement saying he would stay 300 yards away from her and pay about $48,000 of her attorney fees without admitting to wrongdoing.
It may sometimes be possible for the terms of spousal support or child support to be altered based on an individual's change in circumstances, but despite his claim of extortion and blackmail, it is unclear why Howard was not more forthcoming during the initial negotiations regarding his finances.
Sometimes, divorcing couples are able to come to an agreement regarding support through negotiations with attorneys or through mediation. However, in some cases, it is necessary to go to court. Ex-spouses may return to court multiple times if one individual is not holding up their end of the agreement regarding visitation, support or other issues. Divorced individuals may want to consult a family law attorney regarding these and other issues.

Even when a split is amicable, organizing finances first will make the entire process run more smoothly. This process may take some time, as it may be necessary to obtain documents from sources as diverse as employers, banks, accountants and more.]]> An individual should first gather information on all bank accounts held both jointly and individually as well as any records about the home and mortgage. Life insurance documents, retirement accounts and pension accounts are also important. Individuals would also benefit from making a list of valuables and gathering information on vehicles and property such as vacation homes, boats and any other recreational property. Individuals with real estate, stock and mutual fund investments should gather that paperwork as well as paperwork for any businesses owned. It is also necessary to have tax documents for the past two years.
Property division during a divorce can be complex, but gathering the relevant documents ahead of time can help. As the documents are assembled, they should be copied and kept in a safe place such as a safety deposit box or an attorney's office. Whether the asset division during a divorce is straightforward or complicated, an attorney may be helpful in negotiating the terms of the split.

Dealing with the family home during property division can be complicated by a standing mortgage agreement. For example, if the couple signed onto the loan together, both parties might still be considered liable for outstanding debt even though the property was awarded to one party in a divorce agreement. This leaves the credit score individual who moved out of the home open to the influence of the other party's payment history. For example, if the person staying in the home is unable to make payments, the other person's credit score might suffer as a result. In addition, the individual who moved out of the home might seek reimbursement for investment he or she might have made to the property, which might include a portion of the down payment on the property.]]> Both of these difficulties could be resolved if the mortgage is refinanced to reflect the new ownership arrangement. In addition to removing the other party's name from the loan, the process might also result in a cash out that can be used to reimburse that party for his or her investment.
The ownership of a home and liability for mortgages are only two of the issues that a couple might have to discuss when entering divorce proceedings. The process can be complicated and difficult to navigate without professional help, but an attorney could help a client understand the different areas of contention that might surface during negotiations. That attorney might provide advice and representation throughout the process.

The mother of the child in question, a woman who currently lives with her family in New York, has also filed suit for sole custody, citing the hardships inherent in George's NBA travel schedule as being detrimental to the best interests of the child. George and his attorneys have responded with a detailed list of reasons why he should be the one to be granted sole custody.]]> He has also asked the New York court to move the custody case to Florida, where he first met the mother of the child. In his petition he states that he has the resources to support the child and the mother does not, as the woman is currently unemployed. Her lawyer counters that allegation by pointing out that the woman's daughter is only a few months old, and that the reason his client is not working is because she is taking care of the baby.
George has disputed the methodology used in the prenatal paternity test, which showed a 99.9 percent probability that he is the father of the baby girl. He has requested that, if he is not granted custody, his child support obligation be less than what is set forth in the guidelines used by Florida courts.

In the divorce, Jamie McCourt was awarded $131 million tax-free. She was also given ownership of several luxury homes that the couple owned together. However, she chose to challenge the divorce settlement, claiming that Frank had misrepresented the Dodgers' value and thus shortchanged her in the division of assets. A judge denied her claims, and Jamie McCourt was ordered to reimburse Frank for the money he spent on attorney's fees. The total cost amounted to $1.9 million.]]> Jamie's attorneys challenged this ruling as well, arguing that almost $2 million is excessive for court costs. However, a judge examined the post-divorce agreement and found that it was valid and had been created with care and attention from both parties and their respective attorneys.
For those who are going through divorce and want to avoid the headache of post-settlement litigation, it may be worthwhile to consider creating an agreement similar to this one. If protection of assets is a priority, talking to a lawyer who has experience in high-asset divorce may be helpful.

Pets are normally viewed as personal property in divorce proceedings. For many family court judges, pets are simply marital assets, to be divided among the spouses in the same way as household goods, cars and jewelry. Other courts see pets as worthy of a different approach, in which the judge considers a pet's sentimental value and the contribution of each spouse to the pet's care.]]> Some Florida couples are taking the advice of attorneys and including pets in pre- and post-nuptial agreements. By working out custody of a pet before marital troubles begin, a couple may be able to avoid future litigation. This is also advisable if the pet has value as a show animal or for breeding purposes. A court is likely to honor the language of such an agreement unless a dissenting party can show cause, such as possible harm through negligent care by the prospective owner.
Dogs, cats and other animals that share a home offer love, companionship, fun and security. There have been instances where courts have granted custody of the beloved pet to one party and provided visitation rights to the other, although it is still usually preferable for a divorcing couple to try to work out this issue on their own rather than leave it in the hands of a judge.

A prenuptial agreement can cover many aspects of a marriage and possible divorce, including future property division and spousal support. However, with the increasing popularity of sharing personal details on social networks, prenuptial agreements are beginning to address social media usage. One New York attorney says that she is seeing around one-third of her clients requesting the negotiation and drafting of these clauses, around five every week.]]> Typically, the provision will prohibit posting nude photos, or any pictures of their spouse that could be embarrassing, on any social media sites. Additionally, any photo or text that could harm a spouse's reputation or professional life would not be allowed. The clause generally outlines what damages the spouse could recover in the event it is breached. The maximum penalty amount usually depends on how wealthy the couple is. Social media usage has become a big part of divorce proceedings, with spouses posting angry comments about their exes on Facebook and other sites. These could be actionable under these prenuptial social media clauses.
Experts say that coming to an understanding about social media usage prior to marriage can help the couple's relationship and help to establish boundaries. An attorney may be able to help a client planning to get married discuss and draft the language, whether in the context of a more comprehensive prenuptial agreement covering other traditional aspects or on its own.

Moore is expected to have two witnesses in court, the co-CEO of William Morris Endeavor and Moore's literary agent, to testify about his earnings. They can also relate the damage his reputation suffered by Glynn's contrary actions, such as building an extravagant lake home. This particular house was mockingly referred to in one story as 'Moore's $2M hypocrite house."]]> The couple's considerable asset valuation reportedly ranks in the tens of millions of dollars. The couple jointly own eight other buildings in two different states and several business interests.
Lawyers representing high-profile couples in a high-net-worth divorce are faced with complex asset division, including hidden assets, the possibility of assets fraudulently transferred to other people and stock options. Florida marital property may also consist of business assets, real estate and offshore accounts. Asset division may cause disputes as parties struggle to reach equitable distribution of assets.
Florida courts recognize all assets and debts accumulated during the marriage as marital property unless it is proven one spouse acquired the asset before the marriage or it was received as a a gift. In lengthy marriages, it may be difficult to differentiate marital property from separate property; therefore, it may be wise to seek the advice of an attorney. Real estate property is presumed to be marital property, regardless of when acquired. If disclosure of all assets is not forthcoming in the divorce proceedings, a Florida court may rule against the fraudulent spouse.

Until the divorce has been formally completed, the separating spouses will have the choice of filing their taxes as married filing separately or married filing jointly. Couples who file separately will often experience a higher tax rate, but this protects either party from liability if the other party fails to pay his or her share. Once the divorce is finalized, both parties must file as single, which generally includes a lighter tax burden than married filing separately.]]> The property division process is also greatly affected by tax considerations. In many cases, especially in amicable divorces where there is broad agreement on a fair division of marital property and a willingness to cooperate, both parties might make certain concessions in an effort to reduce the tax burden for both sides. However, certain assets are more exposed to capital gains tax than other assets, which can make dividing properties equitably difficult.
It may be beneficial for some couples to seek professional assistance when they become involved in a divorce. An attorney might be able to help a client keep track of certain tax considerations throughout proceedings, allowing both parties to reach an agreement that provides for their financial future after the divorce has been finalized.

The father had weekend visitation rights. A warrant was issued for him for the crime of interference with child custody after the girl was reported missing. Police investigated the abduction for five years. The girl was only eight years old when she was abducted by her father. Her mother never gave up looking for her, posting social media messages occasionally to her daughter, reminding her that she was looking for her.]]> A raid on the residence near Mexico City where the two were living under assumed names resulted in the capture of the man and the return of the daughter. The raid occurred on the same day as the authorities received a tip-off indicating that the father and daughter were hidden away in Hidalgo. The United States Marchals Service, the Florida/Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force, Volusia County Sheriff's Office and other officials collaborated on the project. The father was arrested and was being extradited to Miami. After that, he will be headed for Volusia County, the county where the initial warrant was issued and the abduction occurred.
Individuals who believe that their children may be at risk of being abducted by a noncustodial parent shouldto consult with a family law attorney. In such a situation, the attorney may be able to provide suggestions about how to prevent such an abduction from occurring, such as including specific language in the custody order or asking that a bond be placed if the parent knows that the child will be leaving the country.

Not every state permits DAPTs, however, and of the 15 states that do, not all of them provide protection from a spouse. Fortunately, it is not necessary for an individual to be a resident of a state in order to establish a DAPT there. Nevada is one popular choice; the Nevada Asset Protection Trust ensures that spouses cannot access the assets kept there.]]> There is one other catch, and it is that the trust creator does not control the assets. A DAPT is an irrevocable trust. However, there is a way around this: It is possible for the creator to also be a discretionary beneficiary.
A DAPT or NAPT should be established well in advance of the marriage. If set up once divorce proceedings are underway, it may appear to be an effort to conceal assets. If the DAPT is established after the marriage, there is a danger it may represent a fraudulent transfer of funds or be subject to property division if the couple resides in a community property state. A DAPT also cannot be used to protect out-of-state real assets like a home. It can, however, protect mutual funds, stocks, cash and other non-real assets.
Asset division can be a difficult and contentious part of divorce proceedings. With a DAPT in place for protection, though, many of those difficulties can be avoided. An experienced lawyer could help navigate through the divorce proceedings and ensure that asset division is dealt with in the most efficient way possible.

Its tough all over. Maybe they should consider lowering their prices. 8 hundred bucks for 2 weeks was a lot before the recession. Guess they can play in the streets now.

For some of us, it makes it easier to wait a bit to understand what our schedules will allow, whereas in good economic times if you hesitated you just plain old were too late. However, I am sorry to hear that enrollment is down and I hope things turn around for all of us.

One long-standing corporate goal is to "...generate 30% of our sales with products that have come to the market in the past five years." How many other companies can you name that even attempt such a thing?
I first purchased MMM in 1994. At that time, it was $104.00 per share, and paid a $.75 per quarter dividend. Since that time it has split twice, and raised the dividend EVERY year. (In fact, it has raised its dividend every year for over 50 years). During the "Great Recession", it lost less value than any other stock I owned. Such performance is what makes MMM a highly valued company which has earned the premium valuation that it is afforded in the market.
It is truly a great company AND a great stock.May 6 08:45 AM | 7 Likes |Link to Comment

Vote On The Spelling That You Like Best
I have a love for the girl name Eliot / Eliott / Elyot / Elyott. But which spelling do you personally like best? I originally loved spelling it with a Y instead of an I - I thought maybe it made it more girly and different. And since my name is Hilary, which is with one L, I like the name Eliot with one L, too.
What do you Berries think? ....
Does Elyot / Elyott look too crazy? Do you think people will get how it's pronounced if it's spelled with a Y? Or should I just stick to the common spelling? Or should I even go with two Ls, instead of one? Can't wait to hear your suggestions!

I voted for a spelling thinking that Eliott was for a boy. I prefer that spelling of Eliott out of your other spellings, although my personal naming style I am not into naming girls with boy names, but everybody has their own style. I will say that from your signature you have some real gems there: Daphne (one of my top 5), Fiona, Elsie and Eleanor (in my top 5), Chandler (if this is for a boy I think it's super handsome), Emmett (like it), and Larkin is really cute for a girl. I also like your other names in your signature of Thatcher, Fletcher and Thorton.

Big Government NAACP Not Pleased With Tim Scott Pick
Why? Tim Scott refuses to toe the NAACP line
(Daily Caller) The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People isn't too excited about the appointment of Rep. Tim Scott to South Carolina's soon-to-be-vacated U.S. Senate seat.
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley announced her appointment of the black Republican during a noon press conference in Columbia, South Carolina.
This appointment makes Scott the only Black Senator.
"Mr. Scott certainly comes from a modest background, experience, and so forth, and should be sensitive to those issues," Hilary Shelton, senior vice president for advocacy and policy at the NAACP said, referring to Scott's impoverished single-parent upbringing in Charleston, SC.
"Unfortunately, his voting record in the U.S. House of Representatives raises major concerns," Shelton said.
Shelton explained that the NAACP platform is crafted through an annual voting process which engages grassroots-level delegates who vote on the group's national agenda. That agenda calls for an expansive role for federal government spending in black communities.
Scott, Shelton said, would likely work against that agenda, favoring instead the "small government" posture of Ronald Reagan and that president's Secretary of Education, William Bennett.
"Small government usually means, as it's being described these days, the elimination of the role of government and support for initiatives and programs that are crucial for the African-American community," Shelton said.
Apparently the NAACP prefers the big government approach that has kept so many Blacks in abject poverty, completely beholden to the Central Planning Office. Apparently, the NAACP has forgotten that the second "A" stands for "advancement". Perhaps they think it stands for Acedia, ie, stagnation.

This is it. I'm not making more cocoon coat for a long time but I just couldn't help myself with this last one. Remember my previous project from the same fabric except in a different colour?here
Well, I bought some more blankets to play around with in navy/red and ended up with the perfect cocoon coat I was longing for. The shape, its volume, the boxyness can't get any better than this.
Not to mention it took me only 4 hours to make it.
Not bad eh?

JERUSALEM, Israel - Founded in Egypt in 1928, by Hassan al-Banna, a teacher and imam, the goal of the Muslim Brotherhood is global Islamic domination and the establishment of Islamic sharia law.
"Allah is our objective, the prophet is our leader, the Koran is our law, Jihad is our way, dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope," the group's creed says.
Very few people have ever heard of the Muslim Brotherhood and yet it is considered to be the most influential Islamic movement in the United States and the world. Experts say that every prominent Islamic organization in the U.S. is controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood and some have even called it an "insurgency."
With affiliates and branches in more than 100 countries worldwide, it has inspired radical Islamic movements around the world.
The group had underground links to the Nazis starting in the 1930s and supported terrorism orchestrated by Haj Amin el-Hussaini in British Mandatory Palestine.
The late PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat fought alongside the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1940s. Al-Qaeda was inspired by the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas considers itself to be "a division of the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine."
After being accused of attempting to assassinate then Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser,the group was outlawed in Egypt in 1954. Nevertheless, they have the support of about one-third of the population.
Political candidates skirt the group's illegality by running as independents in national elections. They won about 20 percent of the parliament seats in 2005 and formed the largest opposition bloc.
Initially, the Islamic group was not visibly involved in the current unrest in Egypt but has since demanded the formation of a temporary government to "transfer power peacefully."
Many analysts have warned that the pro-democracy demonstrations demanding the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak could be hijacked by Islamists. Such was the case in 1979, when pro-democracy demonstrators overthrew the Shah of Iran and then lost control to radical Islamic forces.
To learn more about the far-reaching influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S., watch CBN News' Stakelbeck on Terror episodes for September 20, 2010 and October 5, 2010.

Users of eXchange Broadband Need Not Despair
Business Jet Traveler » December 2006
Friday, December 1, 2006 - 4:00am
Rockwell Collins will be able to continue providing satellite broadband network service to its eXchange business aircraft customers. The move comes thanks to a deal with Arinc that will bring eXchange into the SkyLink satellite network. The agreement fills the void left when Boeing announced earlier this year that it is discontinuing its Connexion satellite communication service, which had handled the eXchange traffic. The shift to SkyLink will allow eXchange subscribers access to data transfer and Ku-band satellite television programming.

I'm the managing editor of the Fantasy Literature blog. Life's too short to read bad books!
Originally posted at Fantasy Literature
Five Children and It combines eleven stories that Edith Nesbit wrote about five siblings who discovered a wish-granting fairy called The Psammead in the sandlot of the house they recently moved into. The stories were originally serialized in shorter form in Strand Magazine in 1900. The first story (the first chapter of the novel) tells how the children moved from London to Kent, explored their new house and yard, and found the Psammead. He grumpily agrees to grant the children a daily wish that will end at sundown.
Each chapter tells the story of a single day, how the children wish for something, and how it goes wrong. Usually they wish for something obvious like beauty or money, but sometimes they accidentally wish for something they didn't really want granted, such as when Cyril carelessly wishes that his baby brother would grow up. The consequences are always unexpected and usually quite awful, and the children have to get themselves out of the situation they got themselves into, often at a cost that leaves them poorer than they were before they made the wish. It's all rather funny and there are many lessons learned. The take away message is to be careful what you wish for!
I love Edith Nesbit's stories — they're still as humorous and wonderful as they were over 100 years ago. They're delightfully old-fashioned. For example, the little boys play outside in coats and ties and have to roll down their stockings to show off their bruises. Nesbit is an intrusive narrator, often offering commentary and amusing insights about the characters or their predicaments and sometimes making polite suggestions for the reader's own behavior. I thought the book was charming and I think it will appeal to any modern reader, child or adult.
Five Children and It has been adapted into anime, comics, a BBC TV series and movies, and several children's authors have expanded upon the concept in their own novels. Nesbit also wrote some later stories which included the Psammead.
Five Children and It is easily found for free online since it's now in the public domain. I listened to the audio version read by Johanna Ward who is absolutely wonderful. I got this book for $3 by "purchasing" this free Kindle version and then using the Whispersync feature to purchase the audio version. If you do likewise, make sure you're getting Johanna Ward's narration. There are others, but I doubt they could be better.
Another endearing children's fantasy by a woman who obviously knows what children like. You can't go wrong with Edith Nesbit and most of her books are in the public domain so you can get the free ebook at Amazon and add the whispersync narration. Great deal.
This is one of the best children's stories I've ever read and this particular narration with Jim Dale is stunning. Totally excellent. Highly recommended.

Fun! . The kids in the car want this one on all the time .

HRW Warns Darfur Civilians At Increased Risk
Human Rights Watch is warning a new Sudanese military offensive is increasing the risks to civilians in Darfur. The group says government forces have stepped up indiscriminate bombings of villages, displacing thousands of people. Meanwhile, the Sudanese government has rejected a US-backed proposal to send more than 15,000 UN and NATO peacekeepers to Darfur.
Sen. Obama Urges Darfur Intervention
In Washington Thursday, Illinois Senator Barak Obama urged international intervention: "They can excuse themselves for inaction by saying 'we didn't know.' This is not one of those circumstances. This is being filmed. It's being documented. People have written about it. It is a slow rolling genocide. And the notion that we are going to standby in the face of this is unacceptable. And I think this is unacceptable to the American people. And my hope is that it is unacceptable to the international community."
Speculation Increases Over Rove Indictment in CIA Leak Case
In Washington, speculation is increasing White House aide Karl Rove will be the next person charged in the CIA leak case.

MSNBC is reporting Rove was questioned about his previous failure to disclose he had spoken about Plame to a reporter for Time Magazine. Several analysts said the questioning suggests the grand jury is preparing an indictment on perjury charges. Lawyers in the case expect a decision within the next few weeks.

18 Wealthy US Families Bankroll Estate Tax Campaign
A new report from two watchdog groups says 18 of this country's wealthiest families have been behind a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign to repeal the federal estate tax. According to Public Citizen and United for a Fair Economy, the families have directely funded campaigns and set up shadow associations to spread misleading information on the benefits of repealing the tax. The groups say a repeal of the estate tax would save the families over $71 billion dollars. The families include those behind the companies Wal-Mart, Campbell's soup, and Mars Incorporated. Joan Claybrook of Public Citizen called the campaign "one of the biggest con jobs in recent history."

SGR Dangles Over Fiscal Cliff
While it appears there are discussions on Capitol Hill about the SGR fixes, no one is making promises. "We've got to see what comes down, obviously the other negotiations going on, lot of moving parts, things are very fluid at this time," Lazarus says.
Still, healthcare officials were buzzing with reports about the SGR Thursday. On Capitol Hill, however, there was no official word about any discussions on the issue from the White House or Boehner.
Most of the discussions focused on what Republicans termed a "Plan B" to avert the fiscal cliff, which would include blocking tax increases for anyone exceed those whose incomes exceed $1 million.
"The details are soft right now," says Jeffrey Cain, MD, president of the American Academy of Family Physicians, referring to any plans regarding the SGR. "We've heard rumors and whispers." Still, with the issues swirling around the 'fiscal cliff," there is a feeling that "this is a good time to really do something about the SGR," Cain adds.
"We're excited to learn of the interest from the House and Senate, and the President. Keeping the SGR in place means that healthcare costs will continue to escalate, and it will be harder for physicians to invest in new payment models like the patient centered medical home, Cain says.
"There [have been] calls for repeal of the SGR since 2003, and we don't want decades to fix this," Cain adds. "We want to see carefully what proposals are put forth and we want to work closely with Congress."

Author Worth Reading: Octavia Butler
Octavia Butler was one of the few female African-American science fiction writers, and her novels featured black women protagonists, rare in science fiction. But even more importantly, her books were genuinely moving, frequently thought-provoking and sometimes harshly critical of her fellow human beings. Butler was the first science fiction writer to win a MacArthur Foundation Genius Grant, and she also received a lifetime achievement award from the PEN American Center. Unfortunately, she died in 2006, cutting her spectacular career short.
Her first novel to be published, Patternmaster (1976), actually ended up being the fifth novel in her Patternist series. In that series, Butler began exploring themes she would later flesh out more fully, of a dystopian future in which American society completely breaks down and of aliens interbreeding with humans to produce a new species. The Patternist series was collected in the book Seed to Harvest (2007): Mind of My Mind (1977); Wild Seed (1980), which is actually the first book chronologically; Clay's Ark (1984); and Patternmaster. Butler declined to bring the fifth book in the series, Survivor (1978), back into print because of her dislike for it.
Butler followed the Patternist series with the much stronger Xenogenesis series, later collected as Lilith's Brood (2000): Dawn (1987), Adulthood Rites (1988) and Imago (1989). In this series, Butler imagines a far future after Earth has suffered an apocalyptic nuclear war. The only remaining humans were rescued by aliens called Oankali and kept asleep until the planet recovered. The first human to be awakened, Lilith, develops a special bond with some of the aliens. She is also given the responsibility of transitioning the other awakened humans and letting them know the conditions for their release back on Earth: to either cross-breed with the aliens and create a new species altogether, or to give up any chance for reproduction.
Butler also published a standalone time travel novel, Kindred (1979). A modern American black woman, Dana, uncontrollably travels several times to antebellum Maryland, where she must live for long periods as a slave. Kindred is Butler's version of the traditional slave narrative, yet told through the voice of a contemporary character.
Butler's best works were her two Parable novels: Parable of the Sower (1993) and its sequel Parable of the Talents (1998). Set in a near future in which American society has broken down due to extreme poverty and environmental destruction, the Parable books are both unflinchingly brutal and quietly hopeful. Lauren Olamina, the heroine of the series, invents a new religion called Earthseed, which posits that humankind's only hope is to spread out into the universe and sow new societies, like seeds. Parable of the Talents won the Nebula Award for best novel.
In addition to these novels, Butler published a collection of short stories, Bloodchild and Other Stories (1995). Her final novel was Fledgling (2005), a vampire novel.
