Soul Drinkers and Imperial Guards!So today I received a treat in my facebook inbox from old colleague and now-kickass GW artist, Kevin "Kingmong" Chin: http://www.blacklibrary.com/Blog/Art_and_Soul.htmlSoul Drinkers and Imperial Guards!2 years ago in Personal More Like This
Right now, I'm still awaiting a response from the Black Librarians to see if I am allowed to post some higher-res versions of my 3 Soul Drinkers covers here on DA. Till then, this is all they have up on their blog and all I have to show for, for now! For you Soul Drinkers fans out there, I was told not to reference any notable characters of the SD lore and come up with my own designs.
The general brief for the 3 covers was to have a tactical space marine, a captain, and lastly a dreadnought (being awoken). I thought it would be a neat idea to compose all the covers from a similar worms eye angle, not just for theatrics but rather to literally show the life cycle of a Space Marine as he fights and rises through the ranks, leading his brethren and eventually being entombed within a dreadnought to continue his tireless fig

Signal boosting an important funding project!
PACT (Professional Artist-Client Toolkit) will be a tool to help genre artists negotiate better living wages. The fantasy industry needs something like this BIG-TIME. Wage rates have stagnated and in many cases decreased over the years, despite the fact that there is more art being commissioned than ever. It is increasingly more difficult to sustain a career as a fantasy or sci-fi illustrator, and things are not going to get better unless the illustration community tries to change it. This is what PACT is for.

I've been working on a game since the beginning of the year as the main character concept artist. It's still in pre-alpha stage, so there's still lots to do, but please check out the teaser trailer that was shown at Playstation Experience just this morning!
(warning for crude violent humor, blood and gore)
I know there is only one female character in the game right now, but I am actively working and fighting to change that. There's two other girls in the works, as well as two black characters (one who might be disabled as well!). Please cheer me on and send me good vibes! I will need them!

Thanks everyone for your patience! I'll get to answering comments and posting artwork again soon
4 Kinds of StorytellingHere's an old journal from 2010 about storytelling. Because I have a lot more readers these days, I think I'm going to start reposting some of my earlier posts for my newer audience. So for you old timers, feel free to skip.4 Kinds of Storytelling2 years ago in Personal More Like This
In full disclosure, I slightly edited this journal to make it a little more balanced (while also fixing a ton of typos).
I feel like the word "storytelling" gets thrown around a lot in our industry. Yet when I look out there at some comics, I don't always see a lot of evidence for it.
It feels like people in comics pros--myself included--often use the word only because we feel like we're supposed to. Over the years enough professionals have been accused of being poor storytellers to the degree that everyone is now afraid of being a pinup artist as opposed to a bona fide storyteller. But it's not enough just to claim you're a storyteller.

THREE TIPS FOR DRAWING CARSYou know that green ellipse tool that you bought in art school? Do you know how to use it for something other than oval shapes? Do you know what those "cross-hair" marks are for? And do you know how to use it for technically correct perspective drawings?THREE TIPS FOR DRAWING CARS2 years ago in Personal More Like This
TOO many comics artists don't, and it's driving me crazy. So instead of starting a blog that starts showing examples and naming names, I figured it was better to make a quick tutorial. And this isn't just for cars but also for guns, fire hydrants, and millions of other machined objects found in comics.
If you go through this and you're still stuck, please don't write to me. I'm happy to show you at a convention to make it clearer, but within a blog this is the best I can do. Check out "Perspective for Comic Artists by David Chelsea" for more.
Cars are a whole lot easier to draw if you know how to properly use perspective and ellipses. The more familiar you are with the math, the more fun it is to draw cars. Once I figured out th

Re-brandingFor quite some time, I've been shifting to new art themes and techniques in my work.Re-branding8 months ago in Personal More Like This
From my perspective, there was a considerable evolution in terms of artistic vision and even worldy outlook over the past few years that I had. What I did in the past, I've no interest in during the present day, and I think it's cool. Change of path to avoid a stagnation for a hobbyist.
Torture-device was all about warhammer, gore, and politically spurring journals. I'm no longer interested in warhammer, I dunno what to say new in gore, and in my 28 years I've realized the intrinsic futility of announcing your political opinions on the internet. You might say I'm too old too realize that, but I'm as much as a product of the Internet age as most of us here, and good that I realized it not a decade later, like many still do - I feel lucky)

Morrowind FeatureMorrowind Feature3 years ago in Art Features More Like This
The Elder Scrolls III Morrowind is my favourite game of all time, and it will always hold a special place in my heart. I've been planning for awhile to put together a game-inspired feature; unfortunately, it is very hard to find genuine fan art since most Morrowind-related deviations on dA are game screenshots (or manipulations thereof), and I found only a limited number of devs I could use.
For those unfamiliar with the game, Morrowind is an open-ended first-person RPG with an expansive and detailed world, released in 2002. The central plot concerns the deity Dagoth Ur, housed within the volcanic Red Mountain, who seeks to gain power and break Morrowind free from Imperial reign. In addition to the extensive main quest, there are detailed discursive quests for a variety of factions, including various guilds, religious organizations, and aristocratic houses.

EZ-RJ45 Cat 6 + Combo - 30 Pack
The EZ-RJ45 Cat 6+ Connector simplifies twisted pair terminations by allowing the wires to be inserted through the connector and out the front. This allows the technician to easily verify the proper wiring order. Includes 30 Connectors & strain reliefs.
EZ-RJ45 Products
I have used these EZ-RJ45 ends for two job sites on at least twenty cables. A couple of times I forgot to put the strain relief on the wire before crimping an end, but even so the crimp held the cable well. I do not use the EZ RJ-45 crimp tool and opted to save a considerable amount by using a standard tool. After passing the CAT5e (in this case) wire through I use a lead cutter tool (22-8705) to trim the wire and then back it slightly in from the end of the connector. I've only had one end fail due to being defective. I'm looking to purchase more as I begin a wiring project for my church.
Over half failed. No sled to guide wires. Will not work with standard crimping tool.

Elegant, lovely program
Something Blue Rectangle Programs I ordered 200 of these Something Blue programs for my upcoming wedding in Charcoal Damask and Classic Blue for the stripe. I received them in pristine condition and they are printed on somewhat glossy, thicker, high quality card stock. The printing was clear and crisp, from the few I've flipped through so far. Make sure you make a note of the color of your names in the upper right-hand corner bubble; I didn't realize that was customizable, and our names came in a subtle cranberry color (which I wouldn't have chosen necessarily, but it still looks nice). Also, I had envisioned the programs would be a little larger, but they are perfect keepsake size. Even with these tiny notes, I am thrilled with them and would highly recommend.
Reasonable price
Something Blue Tea-length Invitations I'm satisfied with the product. The delivery time is also faster than expected. Great customer service. The only thing that made me give 4stars is because the selection of the envelope is very limited (white & cream only)
Exactly what we wanted
Something Blue Rectangle Invitations We previously purchased invitations from a different company and were unhappy with the quality of the paper and printing. The Magnet Street invitations are beautiful and very high quality! We are very happy with them.
Perfect save the dates!

Determination of gross income 3 B. Cost of goods sold 5 C. Ordinary and necessary business expenses 6 1. Depreciation expenses 6 2. Car and truck expenses 7 3. Travel and entertainment 7 4. Other expenses 8 5. Self-Employment taxes 8 CONCLUSION 9 BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION The topic of this presentation is Self-Employment Income, and my hope is to communicate to you, as best I can in the limited time available, both the calculation of that income, under existing law, as well as what information courts need to perform that calculation. SELF-EMPLOYMENT INCOME Minnesota Statutes Section 518A.30 governs the determination of self- employment income, and provides, in relevant part, as follows: (Income) from self-employment or operation of a business, including joint ownership of a partnership or closely held corporation, is defined as gross receipts minus cost of goods sold minus ordinary and necessary expenses required for self- employment or business operation. Specifically excluded from ordinary and necessary business expenses are amounts allowable by the Internal Revenue Service for the accelerated component of depreciation expenses, investment tax credits, or any other business expenses determined by the court to be inappropriate or excessive for determining gross income for 2 purposes of calculating child support. The person seeking to deduct an expense, including depreciation, has the burden of proving, if challenged, that the expense is ordinary and necessary. Id. (Emphasis added). This provision makes clear, consequently, the following: (1) "Income" for child support is not necessarily the same as "income" for tax purposes. Many perfectly legitimate deductions allowed in order to calculate income for tax purposes are completely inappropriate when calculating income for child support. (2) Deductions must, however, be allowed for "ordinary and necessary" business expenses. (3) The burden of proving a deduction is "ordinary and necessary" falls on the person seeking to deduct that expense, if challenged. In other words, prior to disallowing a deduction, the party seeking to deduct that expense must understand that the expense is challenged, and be given an opportunity to prove the expense is "ordinary and necessary". (4) When challenged, consequently, the person seeking to deduct the expense has the burden of proving that expense is "ordinary and necessary". The other party and the County do not have to prove that expense is not ordinary and necessary; the party seeking to deduct the expense has the burden of proving that expense is ordinary and necessary. (5) Although the statute specifically provides that certain specified deductions are not allowed for child support purposes, it also makes clear that other deductions may also be inappropriate. A. Determination of gross income. The determination of gross income is an often overlooked first step in the process of determining self-employment income. Although gross income, as reported on the party's individual federal and state tax returns, is certainly a good starting point, it is not the end-point of this analysis. Moreover, the nature of that party's business should also be considered. This begs the question, however, of how, and where do we start this inquiry? 3 The best starting point for determining any self-employed party's income are complete and legible copies, together with all attachments and schedules, of the self-employed party's federal and state income tax returns for the previous three years. It must be emphasized, however, that this is, in a substantial number of cases, simply a starting, and not the end point of this analysis. There are many different methods of reporting self-employment income for tax purposes, many of which are dependent on the business entity utilized. Sole proprietors, for example, report their self-employment income on Schedule C to their individual federal income tax return. Partnerships and Subchapter S corporations generally file informational returns, but declare income (or losses) to their individual partners or shareholders on Form K-1 (Form 1065), which should be reported on Schedule E to their individual tax return. Rental income is also generally reported on Schedule E to the recipient's individual tax return. There are, however, many different variations to this same theme, most of which are, quite frankly, too complicated to address here. A party may, for example, be both an employee of and shareholder in a Subchapter C corporation and, consequently, receive income from that corporation both in the form of wages, reported on Form W-2, as well as profits generated by that business, which may or may not be reported as dividends. That party may, in addition to receiving both wages and dividend income from the corporation, own personally, or through yet another, separate entity, real estate that is, in turn leased to the corporation, resulting in rental income in addition to the wages and dividends reported on their income tax return. It is essential, consequently, that you obtain complete and legible copies of the self-employed party's most recently filed federal and state income tax returns, together with all attachments and schedules, and closely scrutinize each line item on and schedule to those returns in order to locate and determine every possible source of business income received. It is not at all uncommon, after a review of that party's individual income tax return, to discover it is necessary to request additional information. If, for example, business income is reported on Schedule E, you will generally want to determine the source of that income. If it is from either a partnership or Subchapter S corporation, you will need to obtain and review copies of the K-1 forms declaring that income. Moreover, certain businesses, such as bars, restaurants, coin laundries and the like are inherently cash businesses and, therefore, invite closer scrutiny. In such cases, a review of the party's bank deposits may be warranted to ensure that all of the cash received by the business finds its way onto the party's tax returns. 4 B. Cost of goods sold. Section 518A.30 defines gross income, in part, as gross sales or receipts less cost of goods sold and other "ordinary and necessary" expenses. Cost of goods sold is generally the direct cost attributable to production of the goods a business sells such as, for example, material, supply and labor costs, exclusive of indirect costs of production. Cost of goods sold, for a sole proprietor, is reported on page 2 of Schedule C to their individual income tax return. This area is, quite frankly, not usually scrutinized to the degree it should, primarily because there is no good rule of thumb for determining an appropriate amount or percentage of cost of goods sold as compared to gross sales or receipts. It is, however, an area that deserves far greater scrutiny than it usually receives. In determining cost of goods sold, for example, the taxpayer is required to report purchases less items withdrawn for personal use. This is intended, in short, to ensure business owners do not purchase items for personal use (food, clothing, etc.) through their business and deduct the cost of their doing so from their taxable income. The problem, of course, is that this occurs quite regularly and, short of scrutinizing each and every purchase (a practical impossibility) the accuracy of this deduction depends almost entirely on the honesty and integrity of the individual taxpayer. There are, however, other things to look for. Substantial increases or decreases in inventory from one year to the next should be scrutinized. Is, for example, the taxpayer, for lack of a better term, "loading up" on inventory one year, in order to reduce their income for tax (and/or child support) purposes? Substantial, unexplained increases or decreases in cost of goods sold, over time, might also be evidence of underreporting of gross income for either, or both, tax or child support purposes. Hence the importance of obtaining and examining copies of the taxpayer's last three years' individual income tax returns. The nature of the business is also something that should be considered. Businesses, for example, that involve primarily, if not exclusively, personal services (childcare centers, law firms, etc.) that report substantial inventory costs should be required to provide verification of those costs. Most law firms, after all, do not sell groceries, in addition to their services, to their clientele. Care should also be taken to ensure the taxpayer is not "doubling up" on their deductions by reporting them both as cost of goods sold and as other "ordinary and necessary" business expenses. This magistrate has, for example, seen a number of cases over the years where contract labor costs were deducted both as "cost of labor" on line 39 to Schedule C and as part of "other expenses" reported on lines 27 or 48 to that same schedule. Simply obtaining copies of a party's tax return is not, consequently, the solution to this problem. Close scrutiny and, if necessary, requesting verification of questionable expenses is also necessary. 5 C. Ordinary and necessary business expenses. A self-employed party is entitled to deduct certain business-related expenses related to the production of income. The court should, however, consider the possibility of overlap between reported "business expenses' and that party's basic living expenses and, further, whether those expenses are, in fact, "ordinary and necessary". Certain types of business expenses are inherently subject to challenge. Those are: Asset depreciation and/or amortization Vehicle expense Meals and entertainment Professional expense Office expense Repairs and maintenance Supplies Utilities Consulting and "miscellaneous" expenses Deductions for business use of the party's home This is not to say that deductions for these expenses should never be allowed; the analysis cannot be that inflexible. Rather, these expenses, as well as others that may not have been identified, can, and should be challenged. 1. Depreciation expenses. Most substantial business assets have usable lives in excess of one year. The allocation of the cost of those assets over their expected usable life is called "depreciation" or, in some cases, depending on the asset type (i.e. "intangible assets"), "amortization". The most common types of depreciation are "straight line" and "accelerated" depreciation. "Straight line" depreciation simply divides the cost of the asset by its expected usable life, thereby resulting in the same amount of depreciation each year. "Accelerated" depreciation, obviously, accelerates depreciation in some fashion. Additionally, the tax code allows business owners to deduct, as "Section 179" expenses, a portion of fixed asset purchases each year, rather than depreciating them over time. Section 179 deductions are, therefore, another form of "accelerated" depreciation. In 2008 the Section 179 expense deduction was increased to $250,000 (or $285,000 some, limited assets). Although some limitations were imposed on the deduction, it remains substantial. 6 The appellate courts have made clear that the court may ignore a self- employed person's depreciation deductions, and other "paper losses", and find their income for support purposes is greater than their income for tax purposes. They also make clear, however, that it is improper to completely disregard a party's depreciation deductions if they will incur costs, from time to time, to replace assets subject to depreciation. The Minnesota legislature has also severely limited the use of depreciation deductions in support cases. Minnesota Statutes Section 518A.30 prohibits the use of "accelerated" depreciation deductions in support cases. This is not to say, however, that accelerated depreciation deductions, to include Section 179 expense deductions, are to be entirely disregarded. Those deductions should be converted to non-accelerated, or straight-line depreciation, and allowed if "ordinary and necessary It must be emphasized, however, that just because someone takes a substantial depreciation deduction, accelerated or otherwise, does not mean they are trying to avoid their obligations of support. There are significant public policy considerations supporting the depreciation of assets for tax purposes, not the least of which is that allowing such deductions encourages business owners to spend capital to replace existing equipment, thereby encouraging economic growth. It is important, therefore, to accept that these deductions are perfectly legal and legitimate. It is no more inappropriate for a self-employed party to take these deductions than it is for any other taxpayer to claim deductions on their tax return in excess of the standard deduction. 2. Car and truck expenses. Business owners may deduct expenses related to the "business use" of their vehicles. They may do so by deducting either, but not both, mileage, at the current IRS allowable rate of $.55 per mile, or actual expenses (gas, oil changes, insurance, depreciation and repairs). Be wary, however, of self-employed persons attempting to write off use of their personal vehicle as business use. Very few people use their vehicles 100- percent of the time for business purposes. 3. Travel and entertainment. Care should be taken to ensure that the business owner is not attempting to write off personal entertainment expenses as business expenses. The ultimate question to ask is whether the nature of their business requires travel and entertainment expenses. Expense deductions for meals are particularly problematic. Every person, whether self-employed or not, whether they are or are not child support obligors, must eat. 7 4. Other expenses. Home office deductions are also subject to particular scrutiny, both by the courts and the IRS, because of the obvious potential for abuse. Such expenses offer the opportunity to allocate at least a portion of the expense related to the business owner's home, to include mortgage interest, real estate tax, utilities and insurance to the business. Other, vaguely labeled expenses (i.e. "miscellaneous expenses") should also be closely scrutinized. 5. Self-Employment taxes. Self-employed business owners must pay both the employee and the employer's share of social security and Medicare taxes. Consequently, rather than being liable for 7.65-percent (6.2-percent social security + 1.45-percent Medicare taxes), they are liable for 15.3-percent (7.65-percent x 2) of 92.35- percent (100-percent – 7.65-percent) of their gross, after expense business income. (Paying tax on 100-percent of that income would result in paying tax on a tax). Although 100-percent of a party's gross, after expense business income is subject to Medicare taxes, social security or FICA taxes are paid, in 2009 only the first $106,800 of that income. If, for example, a self-employed party receives $110,000 in gross, after expense business income, they would be liable for $15,090 ($106,800 maximum subject to tax x 92.35-percent x 12.4-percent) in social security and $2,946 ($110,000 total wages x 92.35-percent x 2.9-percent) in Medicare taxes. If that same person were not self-employed, they would be subject to only $6,621 ($106,800 maximum subject to tax x 6.2-percent) in social security and $1,595 ($110,000 x 1.45-percent) in Medicare taxes. Under previous law, guideline child support was based on the obligor's net income, which was defined as gross income less certain statutorily allowed deductions, including, but not limited to federal and state income taxes and federal social security and Medicare taxes. Self-employed parties were previously allowed, consequently, a deduction for social security and Medicare taxes based on 15.3-percent of 92.35-percent of their gross earnings, and not just 7.65-percent of their gross earnings. Child support is currently, however, based on gross, as opposed to net income which, again, is defined as "gross receipts minus … ordinary and necessary expenses required for self-employment or business operation". The employer's share of both social security and Medicare taxes is, at least in the opinion of this author, an "ordinary and necessary expense required for self-employment or business operation". A deduction should, consequently, be allowed based on 7.65-percent of the party's gross earnings in calculating their gross income for child support. 8 CONCLUSION The parties are ultimately responsible for providing verification of their earnings, whether they are, or are not self-employed. They should be reminded of the old adage, often applied to statistical analyses, that: "Garbage in – Garbage out". Do not allow any party, whether self-employed or not, to make their problem your problem by allowing them to shift responsibility for verifying income from themselves to you. 9

Being Esther
A Novel
Reviewed by
Leia Menlove
Esther Lustig, anti-Golden Girl and heroine of Being Esther, is coping with senescence. Her children are dismissive. Her late husband haunts her. Her friends have died, deteriorated, or moved away. "She considers the infinite frustrations of living in an aging body." Welcome to old age.
As she navigates her days, counting time, Esther longs for a life of deliberation, of adventure, of autonomy. "She wants to wake up each morning with a sense of purpose … She wants to be something other than the object of concerned looks and condescension."
Yet Being Esther is no heavy novel. Esther's quirky anguish is gently humorous, as when she conflates the ineffable with the mundane. In a flashback, when Esther's mother refused to store a fur at young Esther's home, the girl yearns, "Tell me you love me … Tell me my closets are good enough," but says nothing. Indeed, throughout the story Esther confronts what was left unsaid in her life, examining memories and settling scores in a journey to reveal the woman inside—the real Esther.
Being Esther is journalist Miriam Karmel's first novel. The author writes the story of Esther past and present with remarkable tenderness. Readers of any age will long for more Esther.

Deadspin's Timothy Burke discusses breaking Te'o story
Jan 17, 2013, 3:15 AM EDT
As the hours roll on, we'll likely learn much more about the elaborate prank that turned Manti Te'o's life upside down. As Deadspin's initial report brings the hive mind to the search party, we'll learn more and more about people like Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, a character that'll likely become more and more despicable as the facts come to life.
The mystery of Lennay Kekua seems to only get more confusing. NFL fullback Reagan Mauia claims to have met Kekua too, insisting to ESPN that she's a real person.
"This was before her and Manti," Mauia told ESPN. "I don't think Manti was even in the picture, but she and I became good friends.

With Brian Kelly hosting his annual coaches clinic, Notre Dame's practice field is filled with high school coaches (and some intriguing recruits) taking a look under the hood of the Irish program.
Spring Mailbag: Tillery, Optimism, and practice updates
Mar 27, 2015, 1:57 PM EDT
Let's get to part one of the mailbag. Some very good questions here, so check back over the weekend as there'll be more to come.
Bars and Nelson impressing at left guard
Mar 26, 2015, 1:37 PM EDT
Matt Hegarty's unexpected departure opened up a job along the offensive line. With fifth-year center Nick Martin back in the middle, Hegarty choosing to go somewhere else to play center opened up the competition at left guard.
Expectations for Jerry Tillery sky high
Mar 25, 2015, 1:17 PM EDT
Jerry Tillery's recruitment was anything but ordinary. Long committed to the Irish, Notre Dame held off LSU, with Les Miles and the Tigers' coaching staff doing everything they could to talk the local product into staying home.

Mar 24, 2015, 7:04 PM EDT

Elston ready to make his mark on Notre Dame recruiting
Mar 23, 2015, 3:26 PM EDT
Notre Dame landed three recruiting commitments coming out of the weekend's Junior Day. And if it's up to Mike Elston, there'll be plenty more where that came from.
Running back Tony Jones Jr. commits to Irish
Mar 22, 2015, 3:23 PM EDT
This weekend's Junior Day netted another recruit, with Notre Dame's coaching staff accepting the commitment of Florida running back Tony Jones Jr. The IMG Academy runner was in South Bend this weekend, and is the first running back in the fold for the Irish in the 2016 class.
Junior Day nets commitments from Julian Love, John Shannon
Mar 21, 2015, 8:37 PM EDT
Notre Dame's 2016 recruiting class took a big step forward on Saturday, gaining commitments from cornerback Julian Love and long snapper John Shannon. Both Love and Shannon pledged their commitment after receiving offers this afternoon from the Irish staff.
2016 recruiting begins with weekend Junior Day
Mar 20, 2015, 1:41 PM EDT
Notre Dame's coaching staff begins their 2016 recruiting efforts this weekend with its first on-campus Junior Day. While the reshuffled staff had an opportunity to hit the road in February, the Irish coaches will host their first major recruiting event of the spring this weekend.
Jeff Quinn officially joins staff as offensive analyst
Mar 19, 2015, 1:30 PM EDT
When Notre Dame announced Brian Kelly's reshuffled coaching staff, one name many expected to be part of the release wasn't. Former Buffalo head coach Jeff Quinn—an offensive coordinator and line coach for Kelly for decades—had been long rumored for a staff position, but wasn't part of Kelly's reshuffled team of assistants.
Two different roads to return for Russell and Williams

Notre Dame, Ball State set to meet in 2018
Mar 16, 2015, 4:27 PM EDT
It looks as if another piece of Notre Dame's non-ACC football scheduling has come into place. Ball State has announced an agreement to play at Notre Dame Stadium in early September of 2018, likely locking in the Irish's second opponent of the season.
The road to a successful 2015 season is just getting started
Mar 16, 2015, 2:37 PM EDT
After Notre Dame's men won an improbable ACC basketball title, the team and their head coach did little to shy away from their difficulties in the NCAA tournament.
#NotDoneYet adorns every tweet coming from the team's official account, and likely serves as a mantra for a team that's shown flashes of brilliance during regular seasons past, but too often became pumpkins in mid-March.

Mar 10, 2015, 2:53 PM EDT

Is there a way to clarify cost for a divorce. I'm having to empty out my 401k for counsel and I am 62 years of age. I've gotten very little help for $10,000.00, a year later, with more billing from attorney ahead. I lost temp spousal and coverage of legal fees due to counsel not speaking & countering bold untrue statements made by husbands attorney. My counsel did not speak or counter a word.
Family Law Attorney
Best answer
It can be a money pit especially if you have ineffective counsel.
My name is Stephen R. Cohen and I have practiced over 38 years and can be reached at 213-819-1171. I practiced mainly in Los Angeles and Orange County, California. I am not seeking clients from existing relationships with other attorneys, and give only limited advise over the phone (the phone is primarily used to set appointments), these services do not create an attorney client relationship. I apologize for mispelling< as I am a lousy typist, My answers may offend as I do not believe in pulling punches or sugar coating the truth. Further regarding courts in other states my opinions are largely based on logic and what I think is the modern trend which is to consider the needs of the child.
Family Law Attorney
Divorce is a difficult process - both emotionally and financially. I am so sorry. Unfortunately, there is no way to estimate the cost of a family law matter because so much is dependent upon both the complexities of the matter and, to a larger extent, the personalities of the litigants. If one party is not amenable to settlement, or is not wholly honest, then having to litigate every issue will drive up your fees through no fault of counsel.
Sometimes, untrue statements are made, but the attorney has no evidence to effectively counter the statement or it may not be an appropriate time too argue the statements (ie, when the matter is not at issue). It is appropriate to ask questions of counsel so that you understand the procedural process. Discuss forms of alternative dispute resolution with your counsel. The most efficient way to keep your costs down is to settle. Good luck.
Family Law Attorney
If you don't have confidence in your lawyer, you aren't bound forever to your lawyer. You can interview other experienced Family Law Attorneys and retain one to take over your representation.

We have 2 DVR's. One is a DCX3510 with Navigator and the other is a DCX3400 with iGuide. The DCX3510 has a 500 GB hard drive vs. 320 GB on the DCX3400. Navigator is a mixed bag, it looks nicer, it loads the entire guide in 5 minutes from boot up vs hours on iGuide, it tells you when a show originally aired, it has channel logos to help identify channels more easily, it has a better on demand layout, and it doesn't have the annoying ad banners at the bottom of the screen. The downfalls are the 7 day guide listings vs the 14 days on iguide, the poorer favorites implementation, and the I've seen reports of conflicts when more than 2 shows overlap in recording times. Having 2 DVR's, we like the flexibility of taking advantage of both but personal preference is key here. Also, depending what part of LA you're in, getting a DCX3510 does NOT require whole-house DVR. I've heard people were getting them in Santa Monica, Hollywood, San Fernando Valley and San Gabriel Valley without having the WH DVR service. I got mine without it as well.
Upon booting up an iGuide box, it will show "to be announced" for each grid entry for up to an hour or longer, though you can tune any channel during the process. It populates the data very slowly and section by section but doesn't rely on the Internet connection to remain up to date. Navigator loads all guide data during the boot up which is nice.
We don't even have whole house dvr available here.I will jump for joy the day I can replace my DCH6416 with something newer.

Bony waiting on work permit
Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:39:00
Swansea City are still waiting on Wilfried Bony being granted a work permit, forcing him to train with former employers Vitesse Arnhem.
The Ivorian forward has completed a £12million move from Vitesse to the Liberty Stadium, making him the Swans' record signing.
He made his debut for the club in a friendly at Den Haag last weekend, but is yet to be cleared to make his way to South Wales.
Swansea boss Michael Laudrup is confident the issue will be resolved shortly, allowing Bony to become a permanent part of his plans.
He said in the South Wales Evening Post: "The club are still working on Wilfried's work permit.
"He's still in Holland and we gave him permission to train with Vitesse because otherwise it would be too many days without doing anything.
"It's something we have to cope with as he is a player from outside the European Union.
"He hasn't been to Swansea yet, but I hope he will be here next week. I heard from the club and they hope it will be during this week. It would be nice to have him back for training on Thursday.
"It's best to have the player here. Now we've signed him it's not so good if he is only in Holland. We want him here."

I made my first batch today. It was an ESB, using the following recipe:
Did you stir the batch prior to taking the reading? If you just added water, then took a reading, you'll get stratification within your fermenter and will get what appears to be a low gravity, when in actuality, it's just not mixed very well. Did you add the correct amount of water? If you added too much, that could be another reason. The 12oz of steeping grains won't change your gravity much.
What was the temperature of the wort when you took the reading? You'll have to correct that as well to get a truely accurate reading. the correction scale should be on the instructions for your hydrometer.
and finally,
were there any bubbles floating around, and sticking to the hydro
Thanks for the replies!
The temp was 71', and the actual reading was 1.040, so I added the 0.001 to adjust for temperature.
I didn't stir well before taking the reading. It's been in the primary for a few hours - is it a bad idea to pop the lid, stir it up, and take another sample?
Also, when I first added the sample to the hydro tube, I just filled it up about 60%, and the reading seemed to be 1.030. I then took more wort with the thief and filled near the top of the hydro tube, and pushed down on the hydro. It bounced back up to 1.040 - should the hydro tube always be filled before taking a reading?
I didn't see bubbles on the the hydro, but I didn't spin it either - I'll do that next time.
Thanks again for any tips.
You won't really get any fermentables from steeped grains. All your sugar (gravity points) come from your extract. The only way to really extract sugar from grains is to do a mash (all grain). At this point I'd say leave it alone as opening it only increases chances for an infection and stirring it risks aeration which would be bad at this point. The hydrometer should always float.. you should add as much liquid as it takes to get the thing floating, spin it and then read it. Typically I take my reading after I aerate and add the yeast since the wort will be will mixed well at that point.
My guess is that you somehow took a sample that was not representative (most likely), didn't add enough extract, or somehow miscalculated the receipe. I wouldn't worry about it at this point. Even if the OG was 40 the beer will have upwards of 4% abv which will be fine. However, I checked qbrew (free brewing calculator) and found that 6.5 lbs of dry malt extract yields an og of 1.059 (projected 5.9% abv) and 6.5 lbs of malt extract (presumably liquid) yields and og of 1.047 (projected 4.7% abv).
In short, it'll be fine.. relax and have a brew.
I know this seems to be a stupid question, but could you have added too much water. I have a mark on my carboys and bucket at the 5 gallon level.
Thanks for your suggestions. I think the water level was right (I finished up with 20 quarts, or 5 gallons). I suspect I just didn't stir well enough before taking the reading.
I'm planning on racking to secondary tomorrow (6 days in primary), and will take a reading then.
I've been reading Papazian Joy of Homebrew, and have lost count of the number of times he says "Relax... have a homebrew", so the message is starting to sink in ;-)
Biscuit malt is a non-enzematic malt, it must be mashed with an equal amount of base malt to get extraction.
Steeping will get extraction from crystal malts though.

Ligue 1 - Lucho doubt for Rennes clash
Marseille midfielder Lucho Gonzalez was taken off during the 2-1 defeat to Lille at the weekend with "muscular problems", boss Didier Deschamps said
Gonzalez (pictured to the right of Lille's Eden Hazard) was withdrawn at half-time during Sunday's turnaround at the Stade Velodrome.
He was replaced by striker Andre-Pierra Gignac as l'OM conceded an injury-time goal to Pierre-Alain Frau.
The Argentine may skip the Ligue 1 match at Rennes on Friday night but is expected to be fit for the second leg of the Champions League last-16 clash with Manchester United on March 15.
In the same match Lille defender Franck Beria suffered a heavy knock to his shin.
Lille are four points clear of Marseille at the top of Ligue 1, with the southern side behind Lyon on goal difference in fourth.

Bulbophylum medusae
Not the most pleasant smell but very noticeable either.
Happy to share. In the winter, I have it in a room that drops to 55F at night and gets up to 74F during the day. I maintain about 45-50% humidity in the room. Since it gets a bit chilly in my grow room, I keep my bulbo a little drier than is generally recommended. I don't let the moss get overly dry before watering but I do wait to water until the top inch of the moss is crunchy. As for the light, my bulbo sits in a lower light area about a foot away from a west window. It is very close to my Phals, but gets a little more light. It summers outside under a large shade tree. In the summer, I keep the medium slightly moist at all times. I also fertilize about once a week. This winter I have been holding off on fertilizing because my bulbo has pretty much stopped growing this last month. Although it is doing okay with the current temperature, I believe it would be happier if it was kept 5-10 degrees warmer.

Abstract: In this study, four types of grout were developed to evaluate the effect of grouting of saturated riprap layers on ground water flow. The developed types of grout are divided into a quick-setting type and a general-type, and also into high and low viscosities. A number of grout tests were performed in a model acrylic chamber, 0.4 m in diameter and 2.0 m in length, for visual observation of injection. To reproduce the field flow condition of the saturated riprap layers (approach flow), the grout tests were carried out at 0 cm/s and 100 cm/s for the flow speed and 10 L/min for the grout injection speed after installing a flow injection opening on the lower part of the chamber. Based on the results of the grout tests, the injection of each grout in the saturated riprap layers was examined to find out the most effective grout.
