"I was very please when I received these announcements. I have already received compliments from family and friends. You can't go wrong with this card!"
"I ordered the rounded edges. High quality, thick paper with a modern and expensive look. We added some writing on the back even though there was a template for just photos. We just uploaded some text as a jpg. Worked great!"
"It was great to find a card that fit my son's understated yet elegant nature. Uploading from his online senior pictures was easy, adding school colors and choosing our own text made this card the perfect announcement. I love the sturdy stock, the quality of color, and the color on the back - a perfect finish. Friends and family have commented on the quality and aesthetic appeal of the card. And most of all - my son was thrilled. The added touch of having the submitted product reviewed by a designer before printing was wonderful and increased my confidence that the product would be as beautiful as it was."
"I created my graduates announcement with a B&W head shot, and I loved the look! I used a small color photo on the back, and had a personal comment added . The card stock quality was very nice, thiick and matt. I couldn't be happier with the delivered product. I accessed the online chat, and it worked like a charm. I Highly recommend tiny prints!"
"Ordered the cards to help my granddaughter prepare for her graduation. I was very impressed with the size, quality and appearances of the card. I will surprise her with them next week and including a gold,silver and blue pen to add any final touches she may want."

If there's one thing about a winery that is likely to earn my immediate respect it is what you might describe as consistency of vision. Some of my favorite wineries not only make great wine, they have been making great wine in much the same way for decades, according to a deeply held philosophy that pervades everything they do.
This sort of conviction, married to excellent winemaking, is not as common in California as you might think, but there are few who could argue against Ridge Vineyards as one of the finest examples of such a fusion of skill and conviction.
The Ridge story begins in the earliest decades of winemaking history in California, when in 1885, Osea Perrone bought 180 acres of ridgetop land in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Carving out terraces into the rolling hilltops, he planted vines and constructed a winery which he named Monte Bello, and made his first vintage in 1892. After a couple of decades, the winery went the way of many California wineries under prohibition, and had to wait until 1940, when the property was purchased and replanted with, among other things, Cabernet Sauvignon.
In the early Sixties, a group of Stanford Research Institute scientists bought some fruit to make their own wine, and were so pleased with the results, that they bought the estate and rebonded the winery in time for the 1962 vintage. By 1969, the winery was producing about 3000 cases per year, and the original owners were joined by Paul Draper, the winemaker whose name has now become synonymous with Ridge Vineyards.
A philosophy major in college, Draper spent time in the Army in Italy before a stint in the peace corps in Chile during the early sixties along with a college buddy named Fritz Maytag, who would end up making his own name in beer and in wine as the owner of the Anchor Steam Brewery and York Creek Vineyards. Together, Draper and Maytag began their first, self-taught forays into the world of winemaking with grapes from a local vineyard.
These early experiments would prove formative in many ways, and when Draper returned to the U.S. his focus was entirely on winemaking, and by chance he managed to reconnect with his engineer friends from Stanford who just happened to be looking for a full-time winemaker. Draper was an excellent candidate. The Stanford connection aside, in just a few short years Draper had become a competent home winemaker and was an easy choice for the role.
Despite the prodigious task of modernizing a winery that was essentially still operating out of an antiquated facility, Draper also set to work making his first real commercial wine. To say that his first efforts were notable might be understating the case. When a young man named Stephen Spurrier organized what would be the most famous tasting in the modern history of wine a few years later, one of the wines he chose to represent California was a 1971 Ridge Vineyards Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon -- merely Draper's third vintage as a winemaker and the only red wine included from outside the already famous Napa Valley growing region.
Since that tasting, the Monte Bello Cabernet has become one of the state's iconic wines, just as Ridge Vineyards has become one of California's classic wineries. With the addition of their Lytton Springs vineyard and production facility in Sonoma's Alexander Valley outside of Geyserville, the winery has established itself as a preeminent ambassador for both Sonoma County wines as well as the Santa Cruz Mountains appellation.
The Ridge Vineyards portfolio has long been focused on Zinfandel (the winery's first vintage being 1964) with a couple of Chardonnays and, of course, the famous Monte Bello and Estate Cabernets added to the mix. Ranging from $15, to $150, the wines are relatively easy to get ahold of, and each continues to evidence the dedication to quality that Draper has mantained for more than forty years.
The winemaking at Ridge has not changed much over the years, and emphasizes work in the vineyards as opposed to work in the cellar. Having said that, the winery tirelessly experiments with techniques to improve quality, whether that is trying new kinds of barrels or different yeast strains for fermentation. In a lesser winery, without the guiding hand of someone like Draper, this might result in wines that were all over the map from year to year. But at Ridge, these experiments aren't passed on to the customers, they are learning exercises for the winemaking team, and the successful techniques or technologies are adopted after years of tinkering, and only if they help Draper and his team get even closer to their ideals for their wine.
Ridge is relatively unique in its continued use of a large amount of American oak in its wines, in particular for the Monte Bello Cabernet, as opposed to the French oak that dominates California and most of Europe. Sometimes fermentation takes place with ambient yeasts, while others are innoculated. I have a great deal of respect for Draper's lack of dogma when it comes to winemaking. For him, it seems, quality and honesty win, and there is no specific formula that will always get there.
This particular wine is a wonderful example of what Ridge Vineyards is known for, and does best. Made from fruit picked in seven different vineyards around Sonoma County, it can be thought of as a quintessentially Sonoma wine, offering the broad flavors of the county, and a glimpse into the history of winemaking in the region. This historical connection comes from the broad blend of grapes that go into the wine, which mirror the old "mixed blacks" vineyards that the earliest Italian immigrants planted when they arrived. Harvested all at once to make what is today known as a field blended wine, these patchwork vineyards and the Vino Tinto they produced are an incredibly important part of the state's wine heritage.
This wine which debuted in the 2001 vintage, is a field blend only in spirit, as the lots that make up the wine are fermented separately before blending. No added yeasts are involved in fermentation, however, which takes place in stainless steel tanks. The wine is transferred to 100% American Oak barrels, of which about 33% are new, and after secondary fermentation, the wine ages for about 9 months before bottling.
Full disclosure: I received this wine as a press sample.
Tasting Notes:
Medium to dark garnet in the glass, this wine smells of black cherry and cassis fruit. In the mouth the wine offers bright black cherry and cassis flavors wrapped in a blanket of faint velvety tannins. Chocolate and blackberry emerge on the finish. A blend of 74% Zinfandel, 11% Petite Sirah, 5% Carignane, 4% Mourvedre, 3% Syrah, 3% Grenache. 14.2% Alcohol.
Food Pairing:
This is a very well balanced wine that will go with a wide variety of foods thanks to its good acidity. Anything grilled, from spring onions to lamb would be a great pairing, and if you've got anything with a hint of spice give it a go.
Overall Score: around 9
How Much?: $17.99

Manufacturer: Mary's Custom Saddles
Model: Reining Saddle Diamond Basketweave Tooling
Category: Reining Saddles
Purchase: I bought a Mary's Custom reining saddle from a friend who saw it at a Southern California retail store and couldn't believe the high quality and beautifully tooled saddle was for sale at the price of $850.00. She and I are both "tackaholics" and she knew a great deal when she saw one. The Herman Oak leather is highest quality, as are all the other details of the saddle. After I wrested the saddle away from my friend, I contacted Mary and she made me a matching breast collar and flank cinch with beautiful matching tooling. They are absolutely top quality and only cost $250.00 for both items.
Likes: I like everything about this saddle -- it is built on full quarter horse bars that fit my Quarter Horse, who is wide, mutton-withered, and has a huge rolling shoulder action. It also fits my Hackney Horse, who is wide and round, and my Appy mare, who is similarly a barrel with legs. The seat is the most comfortable I have ever sat in, and the butterfly cut allows for close contact with no bulk under your leg. I am a trail rider, not a reiner, but this saddle is comfortable for me and my three horses for hours of hard riding.
Dislikes: Nothing.
Quality: Mary's saddles are every bit as well constructed as saddles that sell for over twice the price.
Summary: Mary is a wonderful person to work with and she and her team are making some of the best saddles around. The breast collar and flank cinch are truly outstanding. I have owned many saddles in my years of owning hard-to-fit horses, and this is certainly the best one for a lot less money than any of the others. I hope Mary never retires, as who knows when I will want another saddle. It will come from her for sure!

Mode selection in an ultralarge ring laser gyro |
Applied Optics, Vol. 51, Issue 22, pp. 5591-5595 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (487 KB)
A significant operational difficulty with very large ring laser gyroscopes is the length of time required to achieve the desired single-mode configuration. A control technique has been developed where the order of mode splitting between corotating beams is alternated. Theoretical advantages to this are the elimination of noise caused by variations in perimeter and systematic error caused by Adler pulling. External seeding of mode configurations has been proposed to allow the technique to work fast enough to eliminate known sources of perimeter perturbations. While investigating the intensity requirements for this concept, we found that the operating mode of a large ring laser can be successfully self-seeded with seed beams of near (

Cherries & Whipped Cream (fm:seduction, 3873 words) | |||

A sister seduces her older sister's boyfriend. Could also be listed under older/younger and first time. | |||
Whipped Cream & Chocolate Sauce I glanced at his ass as he leaned down and grabbed the cherries from the bottom shelf of the fridge. That's what started it all. Fairly innocent. My sister and her boyfriend were making ice cream sundaes and he bent down to grab the cherry. Suddenly, my mind went blank as I now stared at his ass. I hoped my sister didn't notice. He straightened up and handed Mae the jar. "Thanks, babe," she said, kissing his cheek. Mae and Joe had been dating for a little over a year and in that time I had started to see how attractive Joe was. He was built, had a nice face, and a good job. All good things. However, I never really noticed Joe until now. I wasn't even an ass girl. Sure, they were nice, but I never had any special attraction to them. The two finished off the sundaes and went outside to eat them on the back deck. I sighed as I finished writing my essay for school. However, as I heard his deep laugh from outside, I knew I wasn't going to finish my senior thesis. I shut the laptop and stared at the jar of cherries that they left on the counter. An idea popped into my head and I smirked. I quickly made myself a sundae and met them out on the deck. Mae narrowed her eyes at me as I sat down across from Joe, but didn't say anything. Mae and I don't have the best relationship, but she wasn't ready to let Joe in on that secret. She was still perfect in his eyes, or at least that's what she wanted him to think. Their sundaes were almost finished and I took a big spoonful of mine and slid it into my mouth in a, what I hope, seductive manner. All too innocent, of course. "I'm going to the bathroom," Mae announced, her eyes throwing daggers at me. She grabbed hers and Joe's cups and marched inside. "Hey!" he said. "I didn't get to finish mine!" Mae either ignored him or didn't hear him, probably the former, and didn't return the sundae to Joe. "The cherry is the best part," he said to me with a smile, "and I didn't even get to have it." I tried not to burst into a huge smile as the seductive line I was going to try on him earlier had approached me so easily. "You can have my cherry, if you want," I said, holding the cherry by the stem and reaching over to give it to him. Only, Joe had no idea what I really meant behind that line and gesture. It was within those fifteen minutes that I decided to let Joe take my virginity. "Are you sure?" he asked. These were just the first 40 lines of this story.

Smoking Xanax
Are you thinking about smoking Xanax?
Xanax (alprazolam) and other prescription drugs can have very different effects on the body when smoked, rather than being taken orally. And there are risks you need to be aware of before you try smoking Xanax. For one, Xanax dependence time occurs within a couple of weeks of taking Xanax. Here, we explore these risks and the effectiveness of delivery using this method. And we welcome any questions about Xanax or smoking Xanax at the end.
Does smoking Xanax work or get you high?
Xanax is an anti-anxiety medication that's usually prescribed to help with panic attacks and mood disorders. Even when taken as prescribed, Xanax high effects cause a euphoric "high" and feelings of relaxation and well-being, so it's understandable why someone might be curious about smoking it.
While Xanax is meant to be taken orally, many people will try to speed the drug's delivery by snorting, smoking, or injecting crushed pills, which isn't necessarily effective or safe. In fact, snorting Xanax to get high increase your risk of drug addiction. Plus even though smoking Xanax may get you high, the route of administration is highly inefficient as you lose volume of active ingredients in the process. Even if smoking Xanax works it comes with very real risks of overdose, seizures, and other serious adverse effects.
What does smoking Xanax do to you?
While smoking Xanax will result in the drug reaching the brain quickly, you'll also be breathing in fillers and binders which won't be absorbed through the nasal membrane.You can become sick or experience irritation when these substances enter the nasal cavity, throat, or lungs. Can you overdose on Xanax? Yes, but while Xanax overdose is unlikely, negative side effects are more likely when you purposely use Xanax to try to get high.
Smoking Xanax side effects
Smoking Xanax can be dangerous for other reasons, as well. Taking any large amount of Xanax in a short period of time has the increased risk of serious side effects. Some of the potential side effects include:
- agitation and mood changes
- fatigue and drowsiness
- involuntary movements/muscle twitching
- seizures
Smoking Xanax on tin foil
Heating Xanax on foil breaks down the pills and releases the drug in the form of vapor. This allows alprazolam to very quickly enter the bloodstream through the nasal tissues – although Xanax is a very quick-acting medication even when taken orally. However, heating the drug this way won't allow as much Xanax to enter your system as taking it normally, so it won't have the same effects unless taken in higher doses. In larger amounts, you'll be breathing in quite a bit of the burnt binders and fillers, which can be dangerous with long-term exposure.
Smoking Xanax with weed
Taking Xanax with weed can be dangerous. Both Xanax and weed cause drowsiness and loss of coordination, and you might be opening yourself up to potential accidents. Plus, they're both central nervous system depressants, which will accentuate the effects of the Xanax and possibly make it easier to overdose.
Is smoking Xanax bad for you?
Yes, smoking Xanax is bad for you, if only because of the irritating fillers and binders in the tablets. And taking Xanax in any way other than directed raises the risk of potential adverse effects.Xanax is also a highly addictive drug, which can cause painful withdrawal symptoms if you attempt to stop using it abruptly.
Can you smoke Xanax?
Yes, you can smoke Xanax – but it's not an effective or safe way to take the drug, so you probably won't want to. Xanax should always be taken under a doctor's direction and only be taken orally – otherwise you risk addiction and potential overdose. The respiratory problems that can be caused by smoking Xanax are unpleasant and may make you sick.

Thanks, you helped me out a lot. My son has been smoking Xanax on tin foil, I wanted to make sure there would be no SERIOUS problems with it. Thanks!
Hi Bill. Keep in mind, too, that smoking Xanax is a SERIOUS sign of drug problems, Xanax abuse and possible Xanax addiction. Xanax is meant to be taken orally. So, this mode of administration is way beyond normal and is a signal that your son may need drug addiction treatment.
R u sure ur sin is smoking xanax n not roxys or oxycontin??!!!!
I have heard if a few people trying to smoke all types of pills after the roxy rage. Even aderall and things like that. I just say people are going to do what they are going to do. Just try to look classy doing it. And tin foil is not the way.
I think my daughter is smoking 1 mg alprazolam. I have found the tin foil and straw or ball point pen straw like the substance on the foil was blue and I did find some she had hidden. Why snake it that way. She was using the tin foil and a lighter. Any help would be great.
Hello Dobie. You'll need to ask her directly. Consult with a family counselor or your family doctor about addiction referral in advance…because smoking Rx drugs is usually for the purpose of euphoric effect. This = drug abuse and is a sign of addiction.
Hi, my name is Angela, I just figured out that my boyfriend has a problem with xanax and is now smoking them! He said he has a bad problem with this and wants help! How can I help him?
Hi Angela. Your boyfriend is lucky to have you! I'd suggest that he stops smoking Xanax, it's not good for his health. Now, if he's been taking the pills orally prior to smoking them, which doesn't make sence, since smoked Xanax has weaker effects, he can switch again to oral use and start tapering slowly. See if you can get him a doctors appointment to discuss the details and find the safest and most efficient solution to his problem.
Is there a way to unhook from smoking xanax.! Is there a dangerous risk to stop this like kool turkey.
Hi Elisa. If you've been hooked on smoking Xanax you're probably facing a great risk of lung damage. Before doing anything else I'd suggest you get checked by a doctor.
Thank you for this good information I shall take it to heart.
Glad we could help, Dave. Kind regards.
What happens when you smoke weed nd mix Xanax pill crushed
Hi Chris. As explained in the text above, lacing weed with Xanax cam cause drowsiness and loss of coordination, and since they're both CNS (central nervous system) depressants, the effects of the Xanax can be accentuated and cause many other risks.
Can xanax affect your eye vision as in getting a blur to your eye seeing double n stumble as if your drunk can some one please respond to me i need to know
Hello Jessica. Yes, eyesight disturbances and blurred vision can be experience as a result of taking Xanax. You should consult a healthcare professional for medical advice and seek medical help.

From November last year, the iPad Air sequel is likely to land earlier this 2014, says KGI Securities analyst Ming-chi Kuo in a new research note published by MacRumors. The report is looking into a Q3 2014 rollout for the twin iOS slates, meaning waiting time theoretically starts between July and September of the same year.
"We think the upgraded iPad Air will be launched earlier in 2014 than the iPad Air was in 2013," Kuo wrote.
In the same note, the highly-credible Apple watcher backpedalled on his earlier assertion that the iPad Mini 3 will skip 2014, stressing that the tech giant has decided to focus instead on the reinvigorated original 9.7-inch iPad.
There will be two iPads after all in the current year, Kuo said in amending his earlier readings.
"We previously thought Apple would not release a new version of the iPad Mini this year, but we now think Apple will launch an upgraded version with same form factor," MacRumors reported the KGI analyst as saying.
It is likely too that the Mini 3 will be subjected to crucial design corrections as Kuo told Apple Insider that the modifications implemented by Apple with the Retina-toting iPad Mini 2 "proved unpopular among consumers."
"We think iPad Mini with Retina display made the same mistake, explaining why it's not selling as well as the previous generation of iPad Mini," Kuo wrote, hinting as well that Retina will remain as the strongest selling point of the third make.
But really, the biggest iPad changes to anticipate this year, according to BGR, amount to three things - "A8 processor, Touch ID (fingerprint recognition), and main camera resolution of 8MP."
These improvements are very specific for the smaller iPad in order to shore up its unexpected weak sales number when compared to the first iPad Mini as Kuo noted that Apple is hoping that a faster processor and fingerprint scanner would "boost shipments of iPad mini with Retina display."
In the same research note that exposed the flood of new products that Apple will unleash in 2014, Kuo insisted that there will only be two iPad builds to come out in the year.
The rumoured 12.9-inch iPad Pro will have to wait for a release date in the first quarter of 2015 as Kuo believes that the final make of the biggest iPad will be centred on mobile entertainment and productivity, adding that efforts of which are now underway.

General Info
Just here to check out the videos...
I"m NOT here to collect friends, I"m just here to check out the videos. So, if we have a lot of the same "favorites" in common, go ahead and add me. But if you"re one of those dudes who just adds "friends" for the sake of adding friends, don"t bother.
Turn Ons
Real men, tall guys, tall beefy guys, hairy guys, verbal guys, aggressive/rough guys, masculine guys, white guys, hispanic guys, guys aged 34-42, cum.
Turn Offs
Short guys, black guys, asian guys, twinks, feminine guys, jerk off videos (boring!), videos without sound (What"s the frakking point if you can"t hear it?), videos without cumshots, videos with "str8" guys that are not believable. I"m cool with guys "faking straight" but I have believe you"re actually straight.
My theory: Straight dudes like to get off and sometimes they don"t care who is getting them off. Therefore, I can believe str8 dudes will let a dude suck them off and, occasionally they"ll top. However, any guy who puts a dick in their ass or mouth is NOT straight. Period.

Basic Accidentals
Alternate Notation for Double Accidentals
The following accidental symbols (though rarely used) may be found in some compositions. They are not common and may provide a level of confusion for an experienced performer because they are redundant. It is more practical to simply place the appropriate accidental symbol in front of the note. Since these accidental symbols are typically used in highly chromatic passages (passages with lots of accidentals), it makes sense to simplify the notation with as few accidental symbols as necessary. This means that the performer must only process the critical information. The recommended notation is shown on the right.
There is no specific name for the combined symbols (natural & flat, natural & sharp). In the case of a double flat note, the placement of a natural symbol next to a flat symbol (as shown in the second note on the left example) would logically translate into the natural symbol canceling the first flat of the double flat shown on the first note. So the first note with the double flat would lower the written pitch (C) by two semitones. The second note with a natural symbol and a flat symbol would lower that written pitch (C) only one semitone. The example on the right is the preferred notation since it shows the same pitches and is easier for the performer to read. Same concept applies to a double sharp note.
The double natural symbol is a theoretical accidental symbol and is not used in common practice. The double natural is very confusing and redundant, because there is no functional difference between a double natural symbol and a regular natural symbol. Both symbols cancel any alteration of the pitch from prior accidentals. With the examples on either side of this, the actual written pitch (C) would be performed. Thus, it is more useful to avoid the use the notation shown on the left and use the accepted notation shown on the right.
Triple Accidentals
courtesy accidental
A notation that is often placed before any note that is in a measure following a measure where that same note had been previously altered. The accidental sign is often placed in parentheses to designate that this is a courtesy accidental and is the original note value before alteration. The use of parentheses is used at the discretion of the composer or editor.

Carb Grams per day and fat Grams per day
Carb Grams per day and fat Grams per day
HEy guys, im weighing 225 @ 16% Body fat and im at 5'10 ive been dieting in order to bring my bf down started back in april @ 23% now im at 16% just wanted to know how many grams of carbs and fats should i be eating per day... is there a formula for this?? Let me know Thanks
Try taking in 200 or so grams of quality protein. That's 800 calories.
Scale back to 100 g (or less) of carbohydrates, mostly following your workout. That's 400 calories.
You now have 1200 calories per day. You'd probably still lose weight with another 1000 calories per day, depending on activity levels.
You should be able to take in 110 grams of fat.
DISCLAIMER: i know the "science" behind calorie counting, but i don't think its the best thing for you to do. - 06-27-2007, 05:36 AM
Great! Thanks Allo! i greatly appreciate it

The latest on real estate recordings and new technology from the Middlesex North Registry of Deeds in Lowell
We often receive calls from folks asking us to take the name of a deceased spouse "off the deed." In an effort to better inform people in this situation, we have prepared an information sheet that explains what actually happens. Here's the text:
In Massachusetts, married couples almost always own their home as "tenants by the entirety" which is a type of joint ownership that carries with it a right of survivorship. As tenants by the entirety, each spouse owns the entire property subject only to the other spouse's interest in the house. On the death of one spouse, the entire ownership remains in the survivor and the interest of the deceased spouse disappears.
To show this change in ownership in the records at the registry of deeds, the surviving spouse should record a death certificate of the deceased spouse. The registry will create a link between the deed showing the tenancy by the entirety and the death certificate. The two documents taken together show that ownership of the property resides solely with the surviving spouse.
The registry requires an original death certificate (i.e., not a photocopy) and the filing fee is $75 payable in cash or check (made payable to "Registry of Deeds"). The death certificate can be recorded by bringing it to the registry or by mailing it to the above address (if mailing, please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope so we can return the original to you).
We often receive calls from individuals who have just lost a spouse telling us that their insurer, bank or town assessor insists that the decedent's name be "taken off the deed." Such a request is often based on a misunderstanding of Massachusetts property law since nothing is ever taken "off a deed" and, in the case of spouses owning property as a tenants by the entirety, the surviving spouse automatically becomes the sole owner of the property so there is no need to create a new deed.

Sole child custody: five points you should know
Rita Ku email@example.com
It's not surprising arguments about sole custody are still heard in Hong Kong, as there is no set legal definition of the term here. The assertion by one parent that she or he should have sole custody of the child after divorce and separation creates friction.
It's easy to see why fights break out over this. Mothers who are used to making decisions for their children often expect to do so after divorcing, and fathers want to ensure that they are not kept out of making decisions just because they are divorcing.
There are five things to keep in mind about child custody in Hong Kong. Firstly, the terms "sole" or "joint" custody make little practical difference.
Separating parents spend a good deal of time and money arguing over whether they should have sole or joint custody of their children. In practice, both parties will always have the right to be consulted over the important matters affecting the child, such as education, religion and health.
Secondly, the parent with sole custody will have the right of veto, but the non-custodial parent will always be able to challenge this in court.
There may be justification for sole custody if one parent wants to leave Hong Kong, and the country to which they are moving may need an order for sole custody to ease the administration there. Or, as in a recent case before the Family Court, a mother was awarded sole custody because there were medical problems with the child that the father refused to recognise. The judge wanted the mother to be free to make the decisions effectively.
Thirdly, joint custody is the usual order made by the Family Court, even if the court can see that the parents cannot communicate particularly well. This may be "aspirational", but is in line with the more modern trend for joint parental responsibility prevalent in England and Wales, Australia and New Zealand.
It is recognised that the best interest of the child is served by both parents having an ongoing responsibility, despite their separation (and perhaps animosity), as a recent Court of Appeal case concerning a nine-year-old child determined.
The mother had tried to set aside a joint custody order because she could not face dealing with her ex-husband, but she failed.
Fourthly, care and control is the order the courts will make to decide where the child should live. Nowadays, there can be orders for "shared care and control". In the most recent Court of Appeal case, the judge said that an order for generous access was effectively an order for shared care.
Fifthly, disputes over children are best resolved amicably. Experienced lawyers do their best to encourage discussion through mediation or direct talks between parents.
We often hear complaints that dad was never involved with the child before the divorce, or that mum uses access to the child to barter for maintenance, or one parent wants to introduce the children to a new partner too soon. Communication is always the key to moving forward.
These days we're lucky to have a court system that encourages dispute resolution as a way of avoiding litigation over the children.
But it would really help if the government adopted the recommendations of the 2005 Law Reform Commission and replaced custody orders with a residence order and accepted, as a guiding principle, that parents have joint responsibility for their children. Until then, the sole custody saga is set to continue.

hi guys - looking for a bit of advice here. I took delivery of a new A3 8P Sportback (S Line in white - yup i'm a fashion victim) at the beginning of Dec (company car) and decided to hold off selling my A4 Quattro Sport until the new year (hoping the credit crunch would have improved a bit since then). In the mean time, the A4 has been sitting at my folks' house in their garage. finally took advantage of the sunny weather and decided to take the A4 out for a run and get some photos taken for an advert... first off - ABS warning light starts flashing up, then goes out (brakes did feel rubbish as the car hasn't been used for 2 months right enough). not a good start... so i carried on got the photos taken then started driving home only to find the exhaust getting louder and louder by the minute - thought i was imagining it at first but yup, took home and exhaust sounds like its blown -sounds like its coming from somewhere near the front of the car. can't believe all this has happened considering the thing hasn't even been bloody driven and was fine when it went into the garage (MOT was done in Nov too so i'd have thought problems would have got picked up then!) not happy at all - was hoping to put the car up for sale around £2.2k ono. now i'm not relishing the thought of spending more money on it for me not to get much back. do you think i'd be better fixing it? and if so how much work does it sound like it needs? or else should i just let it go for cheaper (i was thinking 1.8k?) it's a 2000 W with 105k miles (1.8T Quattro Sport) pearescent/metallic dark blue in colour (can't remember the name but was told it was rare when i bought it) half leather recaros climate control 18" RS4 alloys, 11 months MOT Audi concert tape player with CD changer in boot. audi towbar (the removable one) apart from that standard. and the tax is due up on the 31st of Jan so i guess i'll need to stick another 6 months of that on too. any one else had problems like this????!! or am i being totally unreasonable here's the trouble maker... and here's the new car...
Youre going to have to find out whats wrong with the exhaust. My moneys on the downpipe flexijoint, as with worn engine mounts it takes a beating and splits, but without actually looking its just a guessing game. ABS warning is an odd one, it wouldnt come on then go off again... If it detected a fault you'd get three loud beeps and a large (!) in the middle of your DIS, that would stay there the whole time your driving. You sure it was ABS warning? When cars are laid up the disks get very rusty, and you need to put some miles on it to clear them off. The downpipe, if thats the fault, is about £80 from ECP, and while a bit fiddly to install, in this climate, fitting a new exhaust will give you a much better chance to get the car sold, or at least, get a good price for it.
Well If it helps I still have my 1.8tq exhaust and some of the ABS unit parts if need be but I would pop the sensors out and clean them which may fix the ABS problem.
thanks for the quick reply - i hadn't thought about the flexi section - I took a look around the engine bay after i got home but its hard to see where its coming from. pretty sure it's an ABS warning - it had the (!) symbol on the DIS and also the ABS light came on too. it went off again a few minutes later and stayed off but then came on again on the drive home. i couldn't test the brakes by stamping on the pedal to see if i could feel the system working since as you said, the discs feel corroded from not being driven in 2 months.
I have an exhaust for sale too.... if your ABS warning stays off it could be down to the car sitting for a while. need to VAG it though
i've taken it to a local garage tonight for some diagnostics and asked the mechanic not to do anything until i've given him the go ahead on the cost front. fingers crossed.
well some good news - the exhaust was blowing from just behind the flexi pipe and its now fixed. phew. garage didn't have access to a vag com unit unfortunately so still not sure what the ABS light is on for... is it likely that its just because the car has been sitting for a while? and if so - is my asking price reasonable?
its likely that there IS something wrong with the ABS, be it corroded/dirty trigger wheels or dirty/broken sensors. The car just sitting wouldnt cause the ABS light to come on, but without a diagnostic scan you'll be hard pushed to find out what is actually wrong. As for the price, the 1.8TQS is about the only normal A4 that still seems to be holding its value well, and they seem to sell for 2250-3000 depending on mileage/spec/condition and how quickly the seller wants it shifted. I recon listing it at 2.2k with everything working should result in a pretty quick sale. It might be an idea however to spend a tenner and buy a vagcom lead from ebay and running a scan on it yourself. This way you will ensure the car gets its maximum price, instead of knocking 400quid off when all you needed to do was replace a £100 sensor.
The official leads and the licence for the software is expensive (bout £250 all in) but the copy leads are only a tenner, and the software is available as a free download with limited functionality, but its more than good enough to do what you want it to.
you might be on to something there! who could blame them though - its a hell of a lot more fun to drive than my new A3 never mind his old jag xtype. mind you... quattros aren'tt exactly economical cars are they which is why i've gone for the boring option now. i'm a bit happier now that exhaust is sorted - still a bit mistified over how it happened of course.
you need a nice Derv quattro like dieselfitter's might not go very quickly, but then the later PD engines can be tuned to ~200hp relatively easily.... I cant really see the 1.8TQS being THAT bad on fuel though? our FWD averages about 31, i'd expect a TQS to manage very high 20's?
TQS does 30mpg at 80mph. good cruising speed (on a private track obviously) Even when I drive it like I have stolen it and around town I get 22+mpg.
if you want to do a deal with some standard quattro sport wheels for your rs4's i might be interested.im not far up the road.
I didn't look at where you were, I'm originally from Kilwinning & was just up your way at the weekend & I've got Vagcom... not much use now but I will be around within a week or so. If you're still having woes drop me a line! I'll see if I can swing by next weekend.
thanks for the advice again guys. It's booked into a different garage now to take a look a the ABS (it's still doing the warning thing). on the economy front I was managing to get an average of around 30mpg up to about 32mpg max out of it. i guess it's not woefully bad but i've got a 110mile commute to do every day so every little helps! Ian52 - thanks for the offer on the wheels but i think i'm going to sell it with the RS4's on it - makes it stand out from the crowd a bit better for selling it i think. I actually sold the original ones i had that came with the car to a guy on here with the user name Soupy (or something like that!)?? Dieselfitter - cheers for the offer, i'll see how things go with the garage and if they are as useless as the last not i'll give you a shout!
Just curious, where are you putting it into... I know of one place you should stay away from and one which is Highly recommended, (in Kilmarnock), ex - VAG mech.
it's going to a small place in Ayr that our family have used for a few years now - John Blackwood is the owner. can't think what the name of the garage is!
That ABS problem is a very popular one on cars of our age. It's caused by two extremely small wires in the ABS 'module (on the side of the pump) coming away from the board inside... there was a guide on here somewhere a long time ago about how to DIY repair it... quite simple really if you have a steady hand and very good eyesight! You firstly have to remove the unit from the car ... accessible from the top mostly but bottom screws and multi-connectors will have to be accessed by removing the passenger side wheel arch. There are some instructions on how to do it here ... ... they also have an ebay shop where they offer remanufacturing of your own unit which is largely achieved by doing what is detailed below. Not that my description is in any way comprehensive, it's mostly from memory of what I read a while ago. Once the unit is out of the car and separated from the pump you have to carefully cut off the top (as you look down on the large flat surface) of the module with a very sharp Stanley blade or similar to access the circuit board. Once off you'll see the wires in question, they're covered in an insulating gel which is a bugger to clear away properly but if you have enough patience and spend enough time doing this it will give you more access for the next part which is soldering some new wires of a suitable (small) gauge into place. Once all this is done (a good couple of hours later!) you can refit the unit to the car to test it and then remove it again to glue the top back on once you're satidfied that it's working. Pretty fiddly job all in all, up to you if you'd like to try it...
would appreciate the heads up for the Killie guy. I normally go to Hood Motors which have been good to me so far. Cheers.

Congress kept in dark over prisoner swop due to Taleban death threat on soldier: Aide
WASHINGTON (AFP) - Congress was kept out of the loop regarding negotiations to free a United States soldier because his Taleban captors threatened to kill him if the news leaked, a Senate aide said Thursday.
Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl was handed over to US forces in Afghanistan last weekend in exchange for the transfer of five senior Taleban leaders held by the United States.
The swop was immediately criticised by lawmakers, in part because the White House did not give members of Congress the required 30 days notice before transferring detainees from Guantanamo.
"Senators were informed at the briefing yesterday that the US obtained credible information that, if anything about the swap became public, Bergdahl would be killed," a Senate aide told AFP.

Share The JUAN FERNÁNDEZ ARCHIPELAGO is made up of three islands and numerous rocky islets. The archipelago is named after João Fernandes, the Portuguese sailor who discovered it on November 22, 1574, while straying out to sea to avoid coastal winds and currents in an attempt to shorten the journey between Lima and Valparaíso. The more easterly of the two main islands was originally called Más a Tierra ("Nearer Land"), while the other, 187km further west, was known as Más Afuera ("Farther Out"). Brief history João Fernandes made a brief attempt to colonize the three uninhabited islands, introducing vegetables and goats, which multiplied in great numbers (the third, smallest, island was later known as Goat Island, officially as Isla Santa Clara). These were still flourishing when British buccaneers started making occasional calls here to stock up on water and fresh meat between their raids on the mainland. Following Alexander Selkirk's much-publicized rescue buccaneers began calling at the islands more frequently, prompting the Spanish Crown to take official possession of the archipelago in 1742, building a series of forts around Más a Tierra. The island was then used as a penal colony for many years, and it wasn't until the mid-nineteenth century that a mixture of Chilean and European colonizers formed a permanent settlement. In 1966, with an eye on the islands' potential as a tourist destination, the Chilean government changed Más a Tierra's name to Isla Robinson Crusoe, while Más Afuera became Isla Alejandro Selkirk, seasonal home to lobster fishermen and very difficult to reach. Today, only a few hundred tourists make it out here each year, arriving mainly between October and March, when the climate is warm and mostly dry, and the sea is perfect for swimming.

Not all diseases exist in locations where they are easy to study. The International Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research [1] bring the critical infrastructure necessary for research to parts of these endemic regions. We have implemented some of the existing health care informatics capabilities that deliver on the specific research requirements in a fast, accurate, and secure way in a developing country [2]. Our approach has been modified to work around some of the unique conditions present in these areas. Challenges have included identifying appropriate hardware and software for the studies, delivering the hardware to Malawi (Southern Africa), limited network connectivity, mobility constraints, GPS data collection, barcode generation, local customs, and limited availability of information technology staff.
Materials and methods
We present an informatics approach that was implemented in Malawi to accommodate six different facilities, over twenty staff members doing data entry, and one field data collector that travels to subjects' houses. The approach we implemented included a server installation at the Malaria Alert Center (MAC) in Blantyre, offline data capture devices (running a customized version of REDCap [3]), sample barcoding, and integrated location capture for the geographical statistics. The server acts as the central repository for both the study metadata and the data from the offline data capture systems. The data collection team will use the offline device to collect the data while at a regional health facility or district hospital. They return to the MAC at the end of the day and migrate the data to the server. The customized version of REDCap acts as the offline EDC and GPS data collection tool which allows for subject identification using a barcode as opposed to hand entered ids. We provided necessary training sessions to the study personnel on configuring the data capture systems for individual studies, managing the infrastructure, and using the different components to capture the data effectively. Two months after launch we are approaching 10,000 subjects enrolled and their corresponding samples. We will discuss successes and setbacks we have experienced.

Great pickguards at a good price By nadzab from Maine, USA (Customer's Reviews) Sunday, March 04, 2012 I like these guards a lot - good quality, and the dimensions and screw holes fit USA and Mexican Fenders perfectly
Mint colored Strat Pickguard By Gerard Guitars from Nova Scotia,Canada (Customer's Reviews) Friday, February 17, 2012 They say you get what you pay for,not always true.I purchased a mint colored strat pickguard at a better price and got better quality and color than others I saw at twice the price. I trust Stewmac to give me quality and affordability.
Great quality pickguard! By fnaguitarplayer from West Virginia (Customer's Reviews) Friday, February 10, 2012 Exact color i wanted (mint green)i put this on a squier strat and the holes didn't line up very well, and for some reason on mine the bottom hole below the bottom tone control was about a 1/16" away from the wood, so there is no screw there, but i'll glue a small piece of wood in eventually to fix that or a little wood filler, no big deal, i'm sure it was just mine (its a 98 squier, the newer ones might be different) color was exactly the shade i wanted, looks great with aged white parts. Anytime you retrofit any pickguard on a import guitar, its not going to line up right, on a higher quality fender, i'm sure the holes would line up perfectly! Will diffidently be buying more of these guards from stewmac! I was going for the early 60's look on this guitar:
Good...but can be better By Abhirup Roy from India (Customer's Reviews) Monday, January 16, 2012 I got the mint pickguard. This is a good guard which does its job; these are made in Korea as was the label saying so. The mint color is just a little bit more mint than the standard Fender mint color.One of the edge near the neck needed a little filing as well to properly fit in my 2006 Mexican strat. But overall a nice product for a good price.
Perfect fit By Windau from Atlanta (Customer's Reviews) Wednesday, January 04, 2012 Put this on a 1984 American Strat. Holes lined up, pickup positions correct, looks great.
Very good stuff. By Leonid Popov from Moscow (Customer's Reviews) Saturday, May 07, 2011 Very good stuff, this is what I wanted. Good price.
Strat and Tele pick guards By Tony Paul from Atlanta, Ga., USA (Customer's Reviews) Wednesday, February 16, 2011 I replaced the guard on my '88 American Strat & a '92 American Tele just to change the look. I am very pleased with the results of both. The holes were slightly off but it close enough to screw down and look straight. This was a much better deal than the Fender labeled guards and looks identical! No need to pay for the Fender packaging. Thumbs up for the 3 ply.
Looks as good as the one on my Squire By Steve in Melbourne from Australia (Customer's Reviews) Sunday, December 26, 2010 Using the 0071-Whites as test beds for swapping home-wound pickups in and out of a 2010 Fender Squire Bullet Strat. Note that the bridge cutaway section and the screw hole placements for the pickgaurd do NOT match the China made el-cheapo strats. The pots and switches fit nicely though.

I'm having a lot of troubles playing with the facebook API recently:
I'm fetching start_time from an event and I get this:
Which is pacific time I think since the event occurs the 13th at 7pm in France (my timezone). How do I convert this to my timezone?
PS:I use PHP
EDIT: I've found a work around that doesn't work all the time, I just write
before using the dates functions. But it doesn't work for some modified dates. Although I really think it comes from facebook... unfixable bug?
