Recent changes to New York estate and income tax
By Elizabeth HW Fry and Christen Douglas
On 31 March 2014, the New York State legislature passed and governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law the New York State 2014–15 Budget Bill (the 'New Law'), which contains a number of revisions to the New York State estate tax law and the laws governing the New York income taxation of trusts. Specifically, the New Law (1) gradually increases the New York State estate tax exemption amount over the next five years; (2) includes certain lifetime gifts as part of a decedent's New York taxable estate; and (3) closes two perceived 'loopholes' in New York's income taxation of trusts in an effort to recapture income tax that New York was losing from certain resident trusts with non-resident trustees. By increasing the estate tax exemption amount, the New Law increases the number of estates that will pass free of New York State estate tax liability. Larger estates will generally be subject to the same New York State estate tax liability as they were under the old law, unless they are required to include certain lifetime gifts as part of their taxable estates.
Under the New Law, New York State estate tax is computed using tax rates that are substantially the same as the tax rates under the old law. The highest tax bracket under the New Law is 16 per cent, the same as it was under the old law. Under both the New Law and the old law, the tentative tax due on a taxable estate more than $10.1m would equal $1,082,800 plus 16 per cent of the excess over $10.1m.
However, to increase the number of estates that pass free of New York State estate tax, the New Law provides an estate tax credit for certain estates based on a 'basic exclusion amount' in effect at the time of the decedent's death. The basic exclusion amount is set to increase gradually over the next five years as follows…

We haven't exactly been lacking in SlingPlayer-supporting devices as of late, but it looks like the placeshifting service could possibly be set to expand to an entirely new area: game consoles. That word comes from a new Sling survey obtained by Zatz Not Funny, which attempts to gauge customers' interest in a SlingPlayer app for game consoles (it specifically asks if they own an Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 or Wii). As you might expect, however, details are light beyond that, with the survey only mentioning that such an app would let you watch video from your SlingBox in full HD, and that you'd naturally be able to control it with your console's controller. Of course, while it does come directly from Sling itself, it is also still just a survey, so we wouldn't recommend getting your hopes up too much for the time being.

So, I am concerned...no, that's not it...I am freaked out.
Drew's upper lip (actually above it) gets bluish here and there, but for the past day it's been happening a lot more. Today, I've noticed it's not really going away. So, I am calling our Ped Cardiologist to see what she wants to do. I am scared that, for all our waiting, we might end up with the PS hitting the critical level. I would rather seem hyped up about nothing, in the end, than risk something happening to him.

Welcome to Sail-World.com's New Zealand newsletter for June 30, 2013
Oracle Team USA
Apologies for the gap between newsletters, we have been experiencing on going issues with going to a new, more secure mail package. Hopefully this newsletter will be a step up on the past.
The news during the week has been dominated by the build-up to the start of the Louis Vuitton Cup, in San Francisco, the issuance of the Coast Guard Permit, the Rule Changes, and the issues, statements and commentary surrounding those events. We don't propose to summarize the situation here, as there are several very detailed stories in this edition which set out the state of the play and the issues.
The matters will go before an International Jury on July 8 – after the start of the Louis Vuitton Cup a day earlier.
Essentially the situation is the same for all involved parties – in that they accept the Decision of the International Jury, or exit the America's Cup. A situation where outside bodies can make decisions which affect the competition a few days before it starts, is intolerable for the medium and long term confidence of the event.
21/06/2013 - San Francisco (USA,CA) - 34th America's Cup - Luna Rossa and ETNZ training
Short-term anyone can live with anything. It's only a yacht race, albeit a high stakes one. But whether a Challenger would come back for more beyond the 34th America's Cup is question that may be answered after July 8.
On the positive side of the America's Cup, we have several excellent long play videos (20 minutes) from John Navas, who is resident in San Francisco. For sailing aficionados his video is a big improvement on that released by the teams and organisers, due to the fact that it is not heavily edited and shows sailing sequences of significant duration, including tacks and gybes and other maneuvers.
Those interested in the technical side of the AC72 class should not miss the two videos from Genny Tulloch of 'America's Cup UnCut' where she talks with Oracle Team USA designer Joseph Ozanne about how the daggerboards are designed to work, and then Luna Rossa's Max Sirena about the delivery and expectations of their new set of boards.
Aerials 2 Boats Testing / SFO June Testing Session / ORACLE TEAM USA / San Francisco (USA) / 26-06-2013
This week past, was also a significant event for the 34th America's Cup, in that it is the first time that two AC72's from the same team have sailed together. Oracle Team USA achieved this milestone when their Boat 1.5 and Boat 2 took to the waters of San Francisco Bay on Thursday. Both skippers rated it highly but the logistics of getting the two boats on the water by the one team was significant.
The America's Cup Regatta gets underway on this Friday, July 5 with the Opening Ceremony, followed by a Fleet event on Saturday, July 6, the Defenders have course access on July 7, and the first real race of the regatta will be on Monday July 8, at around 0900hrs NZT, between Luna Rossa and Emirates Team New Zealand. The second race between the two will take place on Sunday July 14, the third on Monday, July 22, and the fourth on Thursday July 25, and that might be it for the Louis Vuitton Cup. If Luna Rossa and Emirates Team NZ do race again in the Round Robin it will on Monday July 29.
All contested races involving Emirates Team NZ are expected to be covered by Television New Zealand Live – we'll update on the schedule when it is known.
Luna Rossa training on San Francisco Bay
Sweden's Artemis Racing have announced they will not be competing in the Round Robin until late in July at the earliest, and may skip that phase of the Regatta. This means that the other two teams will have to sail the course alone to get the point. It remains to be seen if the Round continues once the first Finalist is found.
The other news item of note is the search for the classic schooner, Nina, built in 1928 to a design by W.Starling Burgess, who is best remembered for designing three successful Defenders of the America's Cup, Enterprise, Rainbow and Ranger – the latter in conjunction with Olin Stephens in 1937.
We did some research on the Nina and present a history of the yacht, based on a compilation by Rosemary Dyche – listed amongst the missing crew. There is also a gallery of images taken above and below decks on the classic yacht.
La Route des Princess 2013 - Edmond de Rothschild in action during the InPort race today, close to the city of Plymouth
We also update on the search for the yacht and crew. Our thoughts and prayers are with them and the searchers at this time.
We're hoping that we are getting the wrinkles out of our new web platform. Please bear with us. If you do have issues with the newsletter, or the website, please drop us a line to email@example.com

The Aquarium is now open!
At Last!
The newly renovated Aquarium houses 3000+ aquatic animals in 178,000 gallons of water – nearly four times the volume as the previous Aquarium. Although the two and half year renovation preserved the exterior of the Works Progress Administration (WPA)-era structure, the new Aquarium experience, from sleek sharks to glittering tropical fish, is like nothing seen before in this region.
Touch a stingray with your own hands.
Stand beside a sea turtle as it glides by.
Interact with a diver inside inside The Reef, a huge 90,000-gallon exhibit generously supported by Owens-Illinois, Inc.
Every step leads you further into the mysteries that lurk underwater, from flooded forests of the Amazon and deep seas of the Pacific to fish that glow in the dark and sea nettles that kill with a touch. The renovations to the new Aquarium were also possible due to the gracious support of Lucas County.
At times, pending the amount of visitor traffic flow, strollers may be prohibited inside the Aquarium due to limited space. Stroller parking zones will be provided at locations near the Aquarium entrance.
Schedule for Dive Talks at the Reef
Dive talks are sponsored by ProMedica
11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
11 a.m. / 1:30 p.m. / 3:30 p.m.
Visitors may also encounter divers throughout the week as they appear in various Aquarium exhibits for cleaning and maintenance.
Touch Tanks and more!
Throughout the day the Touch Tank and Ocean Lab will be open for visitors to experience.
Future schedule of Aquarium activities will be determined based on visitation, feedback, changing seasons, etc.
Old vs New
Below are some comparisons between the old and new Aquarium:
Exhibit water volume:
Old: 46,000 gallons
New: 178,000 gallons
Largest Exhibit:
Old: 7,600 gallons
New: 90,000 gallons
Percentage of marine (saltwater) exhibits:
Old: 37%
New: 87%
What's New?
Touch Tank and Ocean Lab
Visitors get close to sharks, rays, sea stars and more in a hands-on environment.
The Reef
Generously supported by Owens-Illinois, Inc.
This tank will be the largest tank ever featured at the Toledo Zoo Aquarium with 90,000 gallons of water!
Gulf of Mexico
Featuring sharks, rays and a sea turtle, this is the Aquarium's second-largest exhibit. The sea turtle is part of a conservation education program to help wild turtles.
Flooded Forests
From piranhas of South America's Amazon ecosystem to Asia's mangrove forests, aquatic life thrives in remarkable ways
Kelp Forest
Leopard sharks and bat rays are among the featured species of this exhibit
Deep Sea
Deep-sea creatures rarely seen in aquariums, like the giant Japanese spider crabs, have developed amazing adaptations to live in the crushing deep sea environments.

Killswitch Engage: Seasons in the Abyss
Killswitch Engage: Seasons in the Abyss
Drummers and singers came and went, as drummers and singers are wont to do. But Jones and Foley settled into place in time for Killswitch Engage's The End of Heartache album, the title track of which was nominated for a Best Metal Performance Grammy in 2005.
Things were looking up for Killswitch Engage, but the band's career was hobbled from 2006 to 2007 when Dutkiewicz underwent a series of surgeries for a painful back condition. He missed some tour dates and even wondered if he'd be able to continue as a full-fledged band member, but he's since made what Stroetzel calls "an amazing recovery. Thankfully Adam has been holding up well and taking good care of himself. With any luck he won't have to go through that again."
When Guitar World caught up with Adam and Joel, they were finishing up mastering the new Killswitch Engage album and preparing to embark on a round of touring that will see them blazing through America as part of this year's Mayhem tour with Marilyn Manson, Bullet for My Valentine, Cannibal Corpse, Trivium and, yes, Slayer.
GUITAR WORLD The dynamic between you two seems to be that Adam is the wild and crazy one and Joel is the solid, stable, sensible one. Does that perception match reality?
JOEL STROETZEL Ha! That might vary from evening to evening, depending on how much I've had to drink. But what you've said is what people seem to think.
ADAM DUTKIEWICZ I'm surprised. Is that what people think? Is that what you think?
GW Well, I don't know what I think. That's why I'm asking. Is it true?
DUTKIEWICZ Sure...I guess so. If that's what people think, then let 'em think it.
GW Were there any antics down in Atlanta while you were working on the album?
STROETZEL We had some fun—a lot of after-session beers. We went out every night to eat wings and drink beer. Brendan O'Brien and all the guys at Southern Tracks [Studio] were a really great bunch. They kept things very low-stress.
GW How did Brendan get involved as co-producer of this album?
DUTKIEWICZ He actually contacted us to say he was very much interested and liked what we did and wanted to help out. We never had an outside producer help us before and this guy's got a pretty classy track record. So we said, "Okay, we might as well give it a shot."
GW Was this before or after he produced Mastodon?
STROETZEL Just after, I think. I'm not sure if the Mastodon album was quite finished when we started talking to him. But we started working with him just after that album was finished.
GW So what did you want to achieve with this album that you hadn't achieved on any previous Killswitch Engage disc?
DUTKIEWICZ Uh...not to suck. That's pretty much it. Just to write some decent guitar riffs and songs.
STROETZEL We wanted a different-sounding production and different-sounding songs. We were trying to stay away from "chugging on the low strings" kind of riffs. We tried to do stuff in different keys.

before you disassemble
does mirror locks up all the way
sometimes they dangle and obstruct
make sure there isn't a problem with your film holders too
take a regular unslotted holder and tape it ( masking tape ) to the back
shoot a paper negative ..
tape a sheet of waxed paper on the back and focus on it like ground glass
so you might see what is going on with the lens on B ... flip the switch
and flip up the mirror ..

The OC Couple Who Gave More than $1.3 Million to the Church of Scientology--Only to Leave
Categories: Gimme That OC Religion
The St. Pete profile is here, but Luis penned a fascinating post of his own on the blog of leading Scientology dissenter Marty Rathburn that has a lot of juicy details about how Scientology operates. You should read the entire post, because there is a lot of juicy gossip regarding Scientology's 2006 purchase of a building in downtown SanTana, historically the Masonic Lodge, and restored to its original splendor by evil landlord Mike Harrah before selling it to the Xenu zoo. It's been virtually empty ever since, to the point where the Co$ couldn't even pay their water bill, but Garcia also claims that church volunteers have been forced to sleep in the building every night since 2007 as impromptu security guards, since the area where it stands, as Garcia puts it, "is not precisely Beverly Hills."
Garcia continues to believe in the tenets of Scientology--just not in the Church. Let's hope he reveals more juicy gossip soon...

1Who can believe what we have heard,
and for whose sake has the Lord's arm#Or power been revealed?
2He grew up like a young plant before us,#Or him
like a root from dry ground.
He possessed no splendid form for us to see,
no desirable appearance.
3He was despised and avoided by others;
a man who suffered, who knew sickness well.
Like someone from whom people hid their faces,
he was despised, and we didn't think about him.
4It was certainly our sickness that he carried,
and our sufferings that he bore,
but we thought him afflicted,
struck down by God and tormented.
5He was pierced because of our rebellions
and crushed because of our crimes.
He bore the punishment that made us whole;
by his wounds we are healed.
6Like sheep we had all wandered away,
each going its own way,
but the Lord let fall on him all our crimes.
7He was oppressed and tormented,
but didn't open his mouth.
Like a lamb being brought to slaughter,
like a ewe silent before her shearers,
he didn't open his mouth.
8Due to an unjust ruling he was taken away,
and his fate—who will think about it?
He was eliminated from the land of the living,
struck dead because of my people's rebellion.
9His grave was among the wicked,
his tomb with evildoers,#Cf Tg; MT and with a rich one in his deaths
though he had done no violence,
and had spoken nothing false.
10But the Lord wanted to crush him
and to make him suffer.
If his life is offered#Or if you place his life as restitution,
he will see his offspring; he will enjoy long life.
The Lord's plans will come to fruition through him.
11After his deep anguish he will see light,#DSS (1QIsaa); MT lacks light. and he will be satisfied.
Through his knowledge, the righteous one, my servant,
will make many righteous,
and will bear their guilt.
12Therefore, I will give him a share with the great,
and he will divide the spoil with the strong,
in return for exposing his life to death
and being numbered with rebels,
though he carried the sin of many
and pleaded on behalf of those who rebelled.

My toddler hates having her diaper changed. Help!
Our 16-month-old suddenly hates diaper changes! The second we put her on her back, she starts crying, and then either rolls over on her stomach or stands up. We've gotten pretty good at changing wet diapers while she's standing, but for messy diapers, there's no way! Any suggestions?

take a piece of sellotape/scotchtape and make into a circle, hand this to wriggly toddler and it should give you enough time to change that diaper. They are fascinated by trying to undo it. GLXXposted 04/30/2012 by nannylisa1942
www.swiftysnap.com now offers the first standing diaper changer ever! For all those mobile babies who hate getting their diaper changed, it is a miracle worker!!! Skip those yucky public bathroom changers and change your baby's diaper with no more fighting, screaming, or health scares!!!posted 04/14/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
My son never liked diaper change and I got used to wash him instead of using wipes. He likes bath and water so it is not big trouble to put him in the bathtub and wash him quickly. He still hates putting on a new diaper but I got used to put it quickly while he is standing up. I don't think washing takes longer time and I feel he is cleaner. If you let your toddler stay without a diaper for several minutes between diaper changes, so the skin can breath, you don't have to use ointments.posted 04/09/2012 by naplesmom2
This isn't always a problem for my little one, but when it does happen, I'll say, "What song do you want to sing?" I then give her a choice of songs to sing- "The Elmo song", "The cookie monster song", or "The Wheels on the Bus" (are just a few). This encourages her to make a choice, tell me what she wants and even join along with me. If that doesn't work, I hand something small to explore with-her diaper cream, small lotion bottle, comb, toy, hairbow, book, etc.posted 04/09/2012 by jhermann1
I started having trouble around 12 months. He's 18 months now. I suffered for about a month before looking online. I found that someone had a drawer with small toys in it, and every diaper change, the little one got to pick a toy and play with it only during diaper changes. (this also works with toys aren't really supposed to play with like boxes to medicine). I found that if he gets to pick the toy, he doesn't complain quite as much.posted 03/19/2012 by MystycalMom
the infant teachers would use some kind of hand held toys to distract the infants during diaper change, even have something hanging over the diaper changing mat. At home, we'd use some kind of improvise things, something small, so infant can hold on to, stay focused, while we change diapers. The important thing to note is, it must be something new, could be something he's played with long ago, so it appears new to him, and exciting. Curiosity kills the cat, but in this case, as long as he's able to lie down reasonably long for us to change his diaper, it's fine for us. During the changing of diaper, we'd continue to talk to him and praise him constantly for doing good, acknowledge his efforts, and give him 'high 5' for accomplishing such 'difficult task' such as having his diaper changed lying down, telling us he needs the toilet etc. By doing so, gradually, our infant has learnt success and slowly build up his self-esteem and confidence. Excellent job!posted 03/15/2012 by babyemilylee
I keep a couple of small board books near the changing table which gives my little one something to look at while his diaper is changedposted 10/21/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
T.V. !!!!!!!! My son is 17 months and occassionally he will be squirmy. The T.V. works miracles because it calms him down and he is so engaged that he forgets about his diaper!posted 03/12/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
For me it works wonders, since my 17 months doesn't watch much tv during the day, during poop diaper change I turn the tv and put on her favorite tv show and give her something also to hold in her hand, such as her toothbrush, so she can be completely distracted while I'm taking care of business and it definitely works every time.posted 02/27/2012 by sariyp2003
my son is 12 months and 2 weeks old now but during his 10th month he started screaming the minute we put him on top of a changing table, bed etc or the very time he notice we going to change his nappy. There are times we change him standing while doing the change like lightning but most of the time we give him something to play with while we do the change quickly to keep him entertained.posted 02/21/2012 by Mrs Flate

text:
The majority of onlookers thought that Johny Hedricks beat Georges St-Pierre Saturday night, including a furious UFC president Dana White. However, Judges Sal D'Amato and Tony Weeks saw it for GSP, and, in the absence of a tapout or knockout that is what determines who is the champion.
"I did beat Georges St-Pierre," said Johny Hendricks to Ariel Helwani. "I did deserve that belt. I won that belt. But two people didn't see it that way and guess what, I'm going to go back home. I swear to god, I'm going to get stronger, better and faster and that just won't happen again. I knew I had to beat him, and I did. He's all banged up. There's nothing I could have done better."
Hendricks was asked what he thought about GSP indicating he might be retired.
"I don't care," said Hendricks. "I want that belt. That's my belt. He knows it. I'd retire too. I wouldn't want to give it away."
Hendricks made similar remarks at the post fight press conference.
"My hands are busted up from hitting him in the face," said Hendricksas transcribed by MMAJunkie. "Look at his face and look at mine."
"I really didn't hit him that hard. I wasn't really trying to knock him out. I was putting about 70 percent on him, and it was enough."
"Dude, I don't care about Georges. beat him anyway. I just want the belt. That's the only thing that's motivating me. I need to get it. That's my drive. I thought I got it tonight, but I guess I didn't. There's a lot of things I can pull from this fight, and I'm only going to get better. It was my first five-round fight, and I took it to the champ."
"If I get to see him in the ring again, it won't go the distance. I will finish him. I know I can go five rounds now."
Hendricks also offered physical evidence for his point of view.
Johny Hendricks @JohnyHendricks
This of course is the other guy reference by Hendricks.
What do you think UG? If you were a judge, who would you have given the belt to? And why?

Was this the first time Hendricks went 5 rounds? I would imagine he was worried about pacing himself for 5 rounds if need be.

11/18/13 12:54 AM by lockon
""I wanna see his eyes roll back in his head" "I was only giving it 70%""He's probably on something"Dude is not a class act by any stretch of the imagination. He's the definition of classless. No respect for opponents, baseless steroid accusations, excuses, ducking testing. How can anyone root for this guy? "If people are still confused as to what he meant by only giving 70% then there's no hope for you. He wanted to pace himself as well as maintain his balance.As far as rooting for him goes, maybe some people value actual FIGHTING STYLES rather than their personality's outside of the cage? Weird, huh? Then again it's the UG where everyone judges their looks, personalities, and other completely irrelevant things rather than there abilities because they treat fighters like contestants in a beauty pageant.

The video lights did more damage to Hendricks than GSP.
11/18/13 12:40 AM by matu4251
Gustafsson remained classy and respectful despite a very similar situation. Hendricks on the other hand was being a cunt toward GSP who, as usual, was very respectful. If Big Rig didn't like the outcome he could have channeled his anger toward the judges or himself. When the w only depends on a single round in a title fight... it's a toss up. And in this case he lost that toss up. I'd rather see someone else get that belt after such a poor display of sportsmanship.

Excerpts from State of the Union Speech
The White House released these excerpts in advance of the State of the Union speech on Tuesday:
"It is our generation's task, then, to reignite the true engine of America's economic growth – a rising, thriving middle class.
It is our unfinished task to restore the basic bargain that built this country – the idea that if you work hard and meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or who you love.
It is our unfinished task to make sure that this government works on behalf of the many, and not just the few; that it encourages free enterprise, rewards individual initiative, and opens the doors of opportunity to every child across this great nation of ours."
"A growing economy that creates good, middle-class jobs – that must be the North Star that guides our efforts. Every day, we should ask ourselves three questions as a nation: How do we attract more jobs to our shores? How do we equip our people with the skills needed to do those jobs? And how do we make sure that hard work leads to a decent living?"

Neil Young Journeys
In May of 2011, Neil Young drove a 1956 Crown Victoria from his idyllic hometown of Omemee, Ontario to downtown Toronto's iconic Massey Hall where he intimately performed the last two nights of his solo world tour. Along the drive, Young recounted insightful and introspective stories from his youth to filmmaker Jonathan Demme. Demme, a long-time fan and collaborator, captured these tales of Young's childhood and masterfully weaved them together with his mesmerizing music including songs from the 2010 album Le Noise and powerful renditions of classics including "Ohio", Hey Hey, My My", "I Believe in You" and previously unreleased songs "Leia" and "You Never Call." Through the tunes and the tales, Demme portrays a personal, retrospective look into the heart and soul of the artist.

With its one-of-a-kind poetic lamentation, Young's voice sounds more peculiarly lovely than ever. A small picture, but good and true.Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune, 07.11.2012
More casual fans will twist in their chairs uncomfortably, wishing that a roadie would walk up and wipe it off. Neil Young die-hards will cherish the spittle.Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle, 07.05.2012
For true believers, "Neil Young Journeys" is a visit with a still-vital friend. For the merely curious, it's proof that there's more to the man - more strangeness, deeper communions with the muse - than classic rock radio will ever let on.Ty Burr, Boston Globe, 07.12.2012
It's an intimate performance portrait, divided among new material from his 2010 album "Le Noise" and many of his classics.Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times, 07.11.2012

5.0 stars 23 totalReview Christy Hertz
Posted by a client
Although a horrible situation with my family, it was great to be repesented by and work with an ethical, competent and professional group of people. I was always told what I didn't want to hear but need to know. Everything was handled with the best interest of my children as the priority. I highly recommend Christy Hertz.
Posted by a client
Ms. Hertz represented me in my recently completed divorce. In my professional career I deal with attorneys in a commercial environment. I mentioned this, because I have a sixth sense that allows me to quickly determine when an attorney is not at their best. With Ms. Hertz, no matter what time of the day or what day of the week, was always at her best. In my particular case, I found that what sets her apart as a professional is that she took a very personal interest in my case. She knew the facts in minute details. Because of her attention to detail, she was fully prepared for all court hearings; she provided invaluable advice that considered all possible outcomes and guided me in what my response should be to each such outcome(s).
A most wonderful feeling for me, was to see with my own eyes, that Ms. Hertz, was always better prepared, more professional, more thorough when discussing the applicable law with the judge, more respectful of all protocols in court, than the opposing counsel. This gave me a tremendous sense of comfort, throughout the divorce process.
Simply stated, she is a competent and professional attorney that treats her clients in a very personal and respectful manner.
I highly recommend her. You will never regret that you engaged her as your attorney.
Posted by Marielle
Ms. Hertz recently represented me in a dispute over a quit claim deed. The Final hearing took place yesterday, 1/22/2015, and the Judge on numerous occassions, mentioned how complicated the case was. After a three hour trial, we won the case. During the last six months, Ms. Hertz responded immediately to all my phone calls and emails. At all times, I felt secure, protected and well represented. Her knowledge of the Law won this case, along with the assistance of her team. She was extremely prepared at all times and always demonstrated a high level of professionalism. Thank you Christy.

Whilst dealing with difficult legal issues maybe traumatic, knowing you have this incredible team guiding and supporting you means you are able to cope. I can not thank them enough for their outstanding work and diligence. I am so very grateful to Christy Hertz and her team.
Posted by Steven
Words could never describe how I truly feel about Ms Hertz and her team.. Trustworthy, knowledgeable, responsive, with a heart of a lion. I'm a true believer that you get what you pay for. Ms Hertz and her colleague Katie Gills have done, and continue to do an outstanding job for me, I retained Christy in March of 2013 and since then I have been awarded timesharing with my daughter, and just recently have been awarded temporary attorneys fees, she continues to out do herself everytime.. There is no other law firm in the state of florida that I would rather have on my side than Christy Hertz. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for me. I'am so thankful for everything
Posted by a Family client
Ms. Hertz handled my paternity case and parenting plan several years ago. Now, I am involved with post-judgment issues and never considered anyone else besides her and her firm to represent me. Ms. Hertz seeks to finalize cases and looks out for childrens' best interests. This is unlike so many other firms and lawyers that seek to litigate and provoke. Her sharp instincts, strong attitude and expertise have resulted in positive outcomes for my daughter and me.
Posted by Remi
I met Christy earlier in June 2014 and she has been extremely responsive and cordial.
She was able to provide me with all the information I needed and gave me moral support.
The tariffs are stiff (500 USD per consultation) but you'd rather have a good professional lawyer to work on your case fast and efficiently than someone that will drag your case along with multiple fees.
The contract seems standard although it might need a few amendments to clarify responsibilities between lawyer/client.
I will update my review as the case progress and hope to continue being her best advocate as she has so far given me a great impression.
Posted by Maite
I was part of an ugly drawn out divorce involving high conflict custodial issues. Luckily, I found Christy and her team. She is a professional, honest and caring lawyer. She is extremely fair and very knowledgable. I had gone with another attorney first and had a horrible experience. Christy came highly recommended by another friend and I am extremely happy that she represented me. My final hearing is approaching and I am eternally grateful to Christy Hertz and her team. I walked away with a great settlement and she was in control at all times despite the unprofessionalism from opposing counsel. I am a tough client to please and I must say that Christy exceeded my expectations.
thank you Christy, Katie and Lisa.
Posted by a Child Custody client
Unfortunately, my experiences were very poor with Christy. She did not return many of my calls. I was not guided properly at all and I was billed very often by her office. It appeared she was more interested in billing me than assisting my case. Recently, I sent her a request two weeks ago and I am still waiting for a reply.
Posted by Marianela
After many sleepless nights and 8 months into the divorce process, I decided I needed a new attorney.
Where to go? What to do? Who to ask? These were the questions that hounded me.
I found Ms. Hertz on the internet and decided to set up an appointment to meet her.
From the moment I entered her office I knew she was my lawyer.
After our initial meeting, Ms. Hertz and her team took over my case and in 3 months I was able to resolve all issues related to my divorce.
I cannot express in words the kind of support her firm provided me.
They were always on top of every detail and ahead of the game.
The staff is an A+!! Extremely professional and dedicated !!!!
I am very happy with the outcome and I recommend her without any reservation.

Here comes Santa Claus! Here comes Santa Claus, carrying his bag of toys standing with his favorite deer! A medium size measuring 10.5" high, this nostalgic Christmas die cut cut-out was produced in Germany and dates to the 1930's. This happy fellow is made of heavily hand painted embossed cardboard. It is marked Germany on the reverse. There is very slight wear and very minor paint loss consistent with its age as you can see by the pictures and a few pin holes. The overall condition of Santa is excellent condition. This is a wonderful decoration, a must for any Santa collector and a good investment that would make a wonderful gift. Happy holidays!

Valuation Rethink for Technology Bankers
Byline: Janine Brewis
Technology mergers and acquisitions bankers are gradually getting some of their confidence back, even though vast swathes of their peers have been made redundant in recent months. They are doing so by adopting a back-to-basics approach.
Most technology bankers will readily admit that many of the valuation methods used in the glory days of 1999 and 2000 were misguided. Bankers refer to the "hockey-stick effect", where a company's finances look terrible now, but are projected to improve markedly once a deal is done, which shows up like a hockey stick shape on a graph.
Ben Tompkins, a managing director at Broadview, the IT, communications and media adviser, laughingly recalls the time a company attempted to value itself based on the number of engineers it had, which bore little or no relevance to its financial standing.
"Now we are going back to basics, back to earnings ratios or price to Ebitda. Before, people came up with all sorts of valuations," he says.
A recent example of a technology deal going back to basics is Scientific-Atlanta of the US agreeing to acquire Euronext-listed BarcoNet for E173m ($154.5m), which represented a 136% premium to BarcoNet's share price.
Jonathan Stankler, responsible for multimedia technology within Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein's European technology group, worked for BarcoNet on its takeover. He agrees that TMT deals are now being put together more wisely.
"Although the Barconet exit premium was high, the valuation metrics adopted were based on sound fundamental analysis of prospects, cost and revenue synergies and the opportunity to leverage additional business through a strong European customer base. Clearly, there is no evidence that we are seeing a return to the valuation methodologies witnessed at the height of the technology boom," Stankler said.
Ben Thorne, European head of technology at DrKW, expects to see other deals similar to the Scientific-Atlanta/BarcoNet one: "Over the next six to 12 months we are likely to see an acceleration in the number of transactions in the digital TV space. …

Develop custom software for other companies
Please see the attched images for a description
We're creating a software configurator for a company that produces medical furniture (such as dental chair, hospital beds, treatment couches), which are operated using actuators (electric driven motors that can make parts of the bed move individually in two directions)
The should preferably be vector based (so we can scale the exported images as we need). We need the images as both the vector format (so they can be editited/tweaked afterwards) as well as high resolution (e.g. 2560x1600) transparent background PNG's
Health Care and Biotech
The target audience are the sales people that will use the configurator to combine different parts of a bed/chair to make the exact combination of movements that they need.
The images must be visually simple and visualize what type of furniture they're building, by focusing on the moving parts.
The images should be "stickman" drawings with a 3D perspective (like the shown examples). It's important that the drawings are simple and clarly convey what type of movement is supported visually. They musn't resemble reallife objects (like real beds) too much (like with textures and other details that are irrelevant)
It's very important that chairs are made out of two layers (that our application can overlay): Frame and Deck
It's very important that the beds are made out of 3 layers (that our application can overlay): Feet, Frame and Deck.
This means that the drawings we want out of this must be individual drawings of different feet types, different frame types and different deck types.
The examples that we have provided show arrows. These are used to show which part moves and for the frame also the number of motors that move.
The images produced must NOT include these arrows but there must be room for the arrows to be overlayed by the software + making space for a sqarebox close to arraw which will contain textual description (in the application this box will be clickable and can allow for configuration of the actuator that the arrow represents)
We would also like arrow designs (one of the examples shows the type of arrows we need).
The arrows should have a dark blue color
Black (maybe shades of gray) with a transparent background. The application which will overlay and display the images will use a white background color.
For arrows (which should also be individual images) we want a dark blue color
All other colors than black (and maybe shades of gray color) + blue for the arrows
Simple, simple, simple. 3D perspective should be used to better visualize the moving parts
Inside a web based application
Think hospital beds, treatment coches and dental chairs.
The colors must match those found on http://www.linak.com/

Dropbox now supports Universial 2nd Factor (U2F) security keys.
Backup solutions battle it out for supremacy
It's not zero-day threats that Dropbox sees, but breaches due to weak passwords, the company says
Like an overzealous patron at a gentlemen's club who just inherited a fortune, Microsoft can't help but to make it rain. Free storage, that is.
Look who's showing up fashionably late to the Windows Phone party. It's Dropbox, which is now available as an app download for Windows phones and tablets.

The reason we're constantly preaching the merits of maintaining multiple backups -- especially when it comes to mission critical files -- is because your data is never safe, no matter where you put it. That includes the cloud. As a sobering reminder of this, Dropbox has been sending out letters to some of its users alerting them to a Selective Sync bug that inadvertently deleted their data.
Dropbox helped popularize the concept of cloud storage, and in effort to remain relevant (and competitive), it's now offering users more storage for less money, and simplifying things to boot.
The convenience of cloud storage is undeniable: your data and media at your fingertips from any Internet-connected device—what's not to like? And there's certainly no shortage of options to choose from, most of which are totally free up to a certain capacity. The trick is deciding which cloud service to use. After all, there are notable differences between them.
Razer has announced its new Save Game Manager feature. The feature will be coming to its Razer Game Booster program and will allow users to save any title's save files.
Dropbox, the San Francisco-based cloud-storage company, has acquired Endorse, creators of a mobile app that offered cash-back deals to buyers supporting particular brands.
San Francisco-based cloud storage company Dropbox on Tuesday updated its desktop client, transforming the hitherto bland tray menu into something much more pleasant and useful.
Dropbox, which Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer recently described as "a fine little startup", on Wednesday prev
With so many cloud computing storage services available to you, you don't ever truly need to pay for online storage. When your 2GB DropBox runs out, you can always get 5 free gigs from Amazon. When that runs out, why not open up a SkyDrive account for an additional 7GB?

Social media and networking has become an integral part of our daily lives. Applications have quickly become a quick, easy, and streamline way to access something specific whether it be a game, a news subscription, Youtube player, etc. A highlight of the BlackBerry PlayBook is surfing the "web without limits" so when I first started to use the PlayBook, I realized that the "lack" of apps at launch really wasn't a big deal. Why? Because it was all on the web. Did I need a NetFlix app? No, I could just go to NetFlix.com and the same with many other sites. Sure, if there was an app, it be a lot easier to get to. In essence, using an app is like cutting out the middleman, whoever that may be. Now back to the original subject, FaceBook.
Before the PlayBook launched, the folks at BlackBerry exclusively showed FaceBook running on the browser and how it's no different from your desktop (If you would like to see this, start the video above at 1:04). Not too long after the launch of the PlayBook, the official FaceBook app was released. Most recently, it was updated and improved (If you'd like to know more about the latest update, click here).
As an avid user of FaceBook, I started thinking about what did I enjoy more. I noticed that I use FaceBook in different ways (between the app and browser) when I'm using it on my PlayBook. I'm going to focus specifically on three things which are notably different: the chat, pictures, and videos. Below I'll show you exactly what I mean.
FaceBook Chat
This is what FaceBook is like in the PlayBook browser with the chat opened up. Scrolling through the list of your friends is smooth. Only issues I face sometimes is when I want to minimize a chat window or close it but it's nothing serious. When the keyboard goes up, naturally, everything gets condensed and it doesn't feel as smooth.
Now, something else you could do while on the browser, you can switch to portrait mode, allowing you to see more and to chat easier with thumb-typing.
I know exactly what your thinking, it looks tiny. It certainly does. However, on the browser, you can pitch to zoom giving you a close up of anything you need to see.
The application has a very nice integration of the chat. You have a toggle button to turn the chat on/off. Lets assume your chat is on. If your scrolling through the News Feed and you get a message, you'll get a notification on the top right. If your in the middle of reading, you can tap the notification and see what was written without having to respond at that very moment.
Once your done reading, you can tap the message and it'll talk you into the chat interface.
FaceBook Pictures
When it comes down to viewing pictures, the app provides a smooth transition, swiping from picture to picture.
On the browser, you get the black box with the arrow option to go back or forward which can be annoying sometimes.
In the app, you won't have any trouble uploading a picture or even selecting an album to upload it to. Where you will have a problem is if you wish to change your default profile picture. You won't be able to do it. The way around that is going through the browser.
FaceBook Videos
If your watching a video that is uploaded to FaceBook, then you'll be able to watch it in the app. However, if you watch a video linked from YouTube, Vevo, Vimeo, etc., once you click the link, you'll automatically redirected you to the browser.
In conclusion, I am constantly using both forms of FaceBook on the PlayBook. It all just depends on the situation. For example, if I want to "Like" a persons comment within a status, I use the browser. If I want to see what's going on and just read the news feed, the app provides faster access. As far as the categories mentioned above, if I had to declare a winner it would be:
- FaceBook Chat: Application
- FaceBook Pictures: Application
- FaceBook Video: Browser
In the end, it just boils down to personal preference. The nice thing about it is having options. What do you think? Which one do you prefer? Share your comments and thoughts below!

text: Don't worry, it really is very easy. If you can process B&W you will have no trouble with E6 except that it likes the temperatures a bit more accurate. If you put the developing tank in a water bath (a washing up bowl will do) that becomes no problem and you don't need any special equipment. I did my first film just by reading the instructions with the chemistry kit and it worked fine.

Chesnier Solid Brass DoorbellThis doorbell is junk. The electric contacts definitely do not reliably make contact and ring the doorbell. People then press the button harder, causing the nylon threads to strip, causing the doorbell to quit working completely. Signature Hardware is normally a source of quality products, but this product definitely is not one of those quality products.
I replaced the doorbell.

Item Description
In Honor Betrayed, Dr. Mic Hunter probes beyond the headlines to reveal the reality of sexual abuse in the military. The culture of the military's training is to turn recruits into those who follow orders without question. Honor Betrayed describes in detail the gross realities of the hostile, uber-masculine, dehumanizing environment our young men and women confront. Most vulnerable to sexual abuse are minorities-particularly women and homosexuals. Included are first-person accounts from American servicewomen and men who were sexually abused by their comrades, including one woman whose case was heard before the U.S. Supreme Court. Hunter also explores the tacit acceptance of these incidents in the military to the recent prisoner abuse scandal in Iraq.

Another Wii U delay is brutal, I was expecting Zero to be released months ago. Luckily I've liked pretty much every Wii U game they've released.

I wouldn't say Blasters are much better than Chargers for riding the tower. Blasters are for getting people off the tower.
@Scary_Old_Lady Thanks!
How can the company that released the NDS be surprised by competition from tablets? The only reason I don't own a tablet is they haven't changed much in the last 8 years unless you're willing to settle for running iOS or android.
I just want someone to tell me what the regular Yoshi amiibo does
Thank you again, these posts are so convenient and well done!
I'll second what Whopper said, thanks!
If the enemy has 80% of the map and you're outgunned, try to sneak/break past them so that your teammates can quick jump to you instead of being picked off at base.
In ranked, a similar idea would be taking an extra few seconds to ink a side route in maps such as Port Mackerel.
@SparkOfSpirit I love echolocator in Turf Wars, but in splat zones I can't take a zone with echolocator. When the opponent uses it I just swim left and right back and forth really quick and it doesn't really affect my defense.
While holding ZL (squid form), if you shoot one shot (tap ZR) at the ground about jumping distance away, you'll automatically jump into it at a relatively fast speed, and you can keep repeating it very easily. This is useful for when you want to swim away so you don't get shot at, but there's no ink for you to swim to (works in neutral or enemy ink). The splats are also large and don't use much ink which is a nice bonus.
Edit: My favourite way to use it is at the beginning of a Saltspray Rig Splat Zone match, use it to get from the front of the splat zone to the back, and then go around to the other side of the back of the splat zone. I have swimming and walking speed as main bonuses so am usually able to do this and start covering both sides of the back of the splat zone before anyone else can get through the front entrance.
Edit 2: I learned it from this, it's easier to do than it looks/sounds - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4yJYWdt-1M
Compared to the MG, I think the extra damage of the default splattershot jr. is worth it versus the slight movement and fire rate you're giving up. Plus you don't have to aim your special.
No, it's Nintendo of America World Championships. Europe wasn't even a country back during the original event, and it was in English so no one in Japan cared. So they shortened it to Nintendo World Championships.
The old way wouldn't load properly for me, so this is definitely an improvement.
This is a Europe-based videogame site, that's why they don't need to spell out what UK means either.
I loved that game, except the way they handled elements was so tedious that I just switched to easy mode around the end.
Nice review!
They removed the local multiplayer from this version? o_O I never used it, but that's weird. (Edit: Then again most people would rather use an actual deck of cards)
@Magrane Unless you're expecting certain features, or for the AI to play like humans, I think you should still consider this. It looks like this version still has all those games. I have over 2000 hours on the Overload version, mainly playing Spades.
Edit: for Crazy Eights it seems if you enable twos the only option is "pick up two or play a two." And Go Fish seems to play weird, can only play 4 of a kinds instead of pairs.
I guess publishers have run out of names that start with "A" and have moved on to "B"?
You forgot an option, Steam user reviews are using the even smaller yes/no scale
If there was only one review site, and it was very thorough and consistent, then a 1-100 scale would be a tool for more precise reviews. A three rating is clearly better than two, and two is clearly better than one. However, more people are reading more reviews, so with a 1-5 scale or label system they can focus their thoughts on comparing the subjective opinion of each review (instead of automatically trying to compare scores).
Edit: What I mean is, before people compared the score to the score similar games got to guess how good it is. Now, we forget about other games and read multiple reviews for one game that we compare to each other; but we can't keep track of if an 88 from one site/reviewer is actually better than an 89 from a different site/reviewer.
@Donjwolf When you run out of matches, the game asks you if you want to start a new game or shuffle. Shuffling adds 10 seconds to your time.
By default, no tiles are highlighted, but the lower layers get slightly darker to make it easier to perceive depth. The highlighting removable tiles is optional. It's a feature I love and the dsiware version didn't have it so I remember commenting about that in a forum topic here, only to see you and the review for this version mention they hate it
The game surprised me with how much variety each card has considering how simple the gameplay is.
Most other CCGs I've played everything feels the same, and then an expansion comes out with everything basically being more powerful versions of what I already have.
In league, leveled up non-mages don't seem to gain enough HP though, which imo is making magic attacks overpowered.
@alLabouTandroiD If it's like the other versions it'll record your quickest time and win/loss % for each game.
In the version I have, for some of the less popular games I randomly sometimes have to hit undo then redo to "win", and I'm not sure but some high scores may have erased or didn't record (I probably needed to save to record, or I'm imagining the whole thing). I personally barely notice those things, but thought I should mention.
Nice, sounds like a unique game for a low price.
I have the Classic Games Overload version, have easily played it more than everything else on my 3DS combined.
@retro_player_22 You're only making one payment. Currently this Kickstarter campaign is the only place you can buy a subscription for their year 3 issues. If the campaign doesn't raise $55,000, everyone gets refunded.
I wish I knew how to play this game, too late for me now though.
Stash was also funded, no idea when/(if?) they'll port it to Wii U though.
It's a free-to-play turn-based MMORPG currently at 50% being made with Unity. They re-launched the campaign after looking at funding options from Ouya, Nintendo, and Sony. After they finish the PC version, they'll make an Ouya port (5 months exclusive), then they have the Wii U listed as a console to port to. Have no idea if they'll actually do the ports though since I can't think of any f2p MMORPG's on Ouya or Wii U...
@WaLzgi I was saying most console games are going to have a premium price because the people who buy them aren't willing to go digital only, even if the specific game is digital only.
Of course iOS is still usually cheaper than (digital only) PC ports, but at least it's somewhat of a surprise there.
ios versions are always going to be cheaper until Nintendo stops using retail carts.
Haven't played Animal Crossing so I don't know how much they've copied here, but there's similar "rip-offs" on the eshop.
Which Animal Crossing game are they copying the most?
I think this is going to be the best platformer on the Wii U for me, wish it was this year.
Today I learned if you buy the Sony version, you get the Apple version for free because they actually care about their customers, and vice versa. (sarcasm)
I'd bet their customer service doesn't want to deal with parents complaining that their Wii U used up all their bandwidth uploading stuff to Twitch.
He could make a game called America's 2nd President if he wants.
When was the last time there was a 3rd party controller that didn't have significant quality problems?
Could be smoother, if there were other $2 games on the eshop I would recommend passing on this.
My activity log play time for classic games overload is 2006:01
The only offensive part I saw was calling this Gen4
Mario Kart 8 delayed to add Captain Toad as a character. Nintendo Direct tomorrow about the Year of Captain Toad.
When I tried it, it seemed like a game I wouldn't want to play more than one mission at a time, which would make the digital version much more convenient. I'd rarely spend more than $20 on a digital game though.
Before the first few updates, I had a few freezes in NintendoLand
(and some of the apps)
Meh, in 5 years more indies will probably become mobile developers occasionally porting games to other systems.
@Chubblings: That's true, but in the Oculus Rift case, I think they're targeting late-2015 / early 2016 because of that. There's also even a 2nd version of the dev kit recently released that I assume somewhat reduces those problems.
Re: Flop
VR headsets are optional add-ons, what one person calls a flop can still be a success. Especially for Sony who cares more about being competitive than selling VR headsets. And I doubt there's anything stopping a USB PC headset from being able to support Wii U.
Toki Tori 2+ was an unlockable game in Humble Bundle 10, unlockable games receive a significantly lower amount of the revenue. I'd imagine the only reason to make a game unlockable or in other bundles would be to hope for good sales following the publicity.
I've got a feeling whoever made this decision hasn't actually done any real work in a Walmart electronics department before.

At the 2013 Sanya Freestyle Grand Prix, Slovenia's Rok Florjancic completed his double with another impressive showing to win heat 2 and take the title with maximum points. Nac [Florjancic] looked to be carrying the fight to his older brother and produced a faultless opening series of tricks until disaster struck and he lost his grip and the bike. The delay to retrieve it proved costly, finishing fourth in heat 2 and third overall.

When Colorado's gubernatorial candidates release their fundraising records next month, Republican Dan Maes will show a $250 check from the state party chairman.
Whether Republicans follow chairman Dick Wadhams' example remains to be seen.
Maes has been unable to raise significant money throughout his campaign, although he attended a fundraiser Tuesday in Dallas with the Pauls — Ron and Rand.
His fundraising ability is one reason former Congressman Tom Tancredo entered the race as a third-party candidate, further drying up contributions to the GOP nominee.
Lobbyist Mike Beasley, who worked for former Republican Gov. Bill Owens, said the situation is causing both parties to divert money from the governor's race.

Republicans are doing so because they fear it's a lost cause, while Democrats believe other candidates are more in need, he said.
"I think it's a wash, although Democrats historically have been able to raise so much more money," Beasley said.
Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, who is organizing the GOP attempt to take back the state House, said the situation has made Republicans more determined to win one chamber of the legislature, if not both.
Consider a recent fundraising invitation on behalf of Republican Libby Szabo, who is trying to unseat Rep. Sara Gagliardi, D-Arvada.
"Given the mess we're facing in the governor's race, it's even more important that we elect great candidates like Libby, a self-described 'free market gal' to the statehouse," the invite reads.
Democrats have controlled the legislature and the governor's office since January 2007, when Bill Ritter was sworn into office.
After Maes won the primary, Republican support increased for Hickenlooper, who has a reputation as a pro-business mayor, said Beasley, who had backed Scott McInnis.
Democratic lobbyist Ted Trimpa, a behind-the-scenes political powerhouse, said he suspects that some of the same GOP honchos who publicly donate to Hickenlooper will give "soft money" to 501(c)(4) organizations trying to elect Republicans to the state House.
The groups — named for the section of the federal tax code that regulates them — don't have to report their donors.
"That way, you've got your bases covered," Trimpa said.
The next campaign-finance reporting deadline is Sept. 7.
Campaign spokesman Nate Strauch said Maes received some "big" donations at the Dallas event with U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, who ran for president in 2008, and his son Rand, the GOP nominee for a U.S. Senate seat in Kentucky, but declined to say just how big.
American Constitution Party candidate Tancredo last week reported that he had raised more than $125,000 in August.
In their last campaign filings, Hickenlooper had $125,743 in cash on hand to Maes' $23,597. Hickenlooper had spent $1.2 million buying TV ad time when the rates were cheaper.
"There's a huge disparity," Wadhams said. "It's not even close."
