Emergency Preparedness Fair planned
The inaugural Puna Regional Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Fair will be presented from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 31, at the Keaau High School grounds. The location — central to both upper and lower Puna — was selected to encourage maximum Puna community participation.
"The fair will highlight presentations, information booths, activities and contests focusing on emergency preparedness and how to respond given different situations and challenges, as well as collect information on current concerns to incorporate into future planning," said event co-Chair Marlene Hapai, chair of the new Subcommittee on Connectivity and Emergency Response.
The subcommittee, approved by the Puna Community Development Plan Action Committee, met for the first time on Jan. 4 to discuss an action plan to address the "urgent need to better prepare the entire Puna community for emergency situations," explained Hapai. "Due to the limited infrastructure in many areas, it is important for residents to know what they can do, what they cannot do, and gain input from them as to how we can do things better. To this end the subcommittee, in partnership with Hawaii County Civil Defense, will present the Aug. 31 preparedness fair.
Subdivision first responders, and anyone else wanting to assist with the emergency evacuation mapping activity at the fair, are invited to attend either of two workshops planned for Saturdays, July 13 and Aug. 3, at the Keaau Community Center, on the road behind the Keaau Police Station.
Participating groups include: the Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency, Police and Fire Departments, state Department of Health and the National Guard, NOAA and FEMA at the federal level;, American Red Cross, Hawaii Island Humane Society, Pacific Tsunami Museum, the University of Hawaii at Manoa Center for the Study of Active Volcanoes, Hawaii Community College nursing students, Civil Air Patrol and the Big Island Amateur Radio Club.
There will be rooms for oral presentations and evacuation mapping, and exhibit booths and tables organized outside as follows: Emergency Evacuation Routes, Emergency Centers/Shelters, Emergency Planning, Training, Communications, Security and Sustainability. Exhibitors will be asked to have at least one interactive/hands-on element at their booth. There will also be contests happening throughout the day such as fire extinguishing and stretcher carrying.
Lucky-number contest prizes will include 250 emergency preparedness bags filled with items donated by local businesses.
Interested participants and donors can contact Hapai at 966-9894 or email@example.com, or fellow co-chair Bill Hanson of Civil Defense at 935-0032 or email@example.com. To attend an emergency evacuation mapping training session, contact Toni Robert, the county's Community Emergency Response Team, or CERT, coordinator, at 937-2183 or email@example.com.

Resawing Basics Downloadable Technique
Home > Rockler > Woodworker's Journal > Lessons & Techniques
|Resawing is a simple process when you have the right equipment - but why, some ask, go through all the bother?So you can use a band saw to slice thin pieces of wood from bigger pieces of wood ... what´s the benefit? Why not buy your wood sliced thin to begin with, or just plane or sand it to thickness? Here are five good reasons right off the top of my head: First, you´ll get the best use out of expensive or beautifully figured wood. Second, you´ll be able to create book-matched, slip-matched or swing-matched panels. Third, you´ll have a method to efficiently use salvaged or reclaimed lumber of large dimension. Fourth, you will be able to create your own lumber from a tree ... or even from firewood! And fifth, when you get good at it, you can begin to make your own handmade plywood.

text: So maybe this isn't thread-worthy, but I think it's a good tip. Although the pwnapple is cool, and the steve jobs restore screen is hilarious, I think it's a good idea to use pwned firmware without the dev team's graphics. Kind of a bit of insurance in case you get stuck at the boot screen or whatever, like what seems to have happened to a few people. That way you can take it back to the Apple Store without fear of them knowing it was hacked. On a side note, One time after I had restored to a pwned firmware, my touch got a little screwy and was stuck at the boot apple with the SWOD. Actually, first, while it was syncing it was at the lock screen and the battery had a SWOD in the middle of it and I couldn't slide to cancel. So I knew something was up. I got a couldn't write to device error, unplugged, put it into restore mode, and restored with my pwned fw and all was right in the world. I say this just so people now that Pwnage, like all Jailbreaks, can go a little funky. But, like always, you can always put it into restore mode and you're fine (with the possibility of a couple exceptions). DON"T FREAK OUT if you have an issue. You will be okay!

text: The The Tick vs. Brainchild wiki last edited by Renchamp on 09/28/13 04:31PM View full history A robotic dog breaks into a laboratory and steals some machinery. Meanwhile, the Tick and Arthur are unable to microwave a pizza. They go to an electronics store and pick up the last microwave but are beset by the robotic dog. The owner, an evil genius child, needs the parts to complete his master plan. The dog gets the microwave but the Tick lassos its leg with an extension cord, thereby getting a ride. The cord falls off, however, and the Tick and Arthur end up following by taxi. The arrive in a lovely neighborhood.The two are invited in a home where the mother and father explain that their son is a genius, albeit a tad misguided. The Tick heads out to try and talk some sense into the boy Charles. This just drives Charles to do something drastically evil, like pulling the Moon into the Earth. The parents fail at talking sense into Charles and it is the Tick who has to reverse the process. He ducks an attack by the dog and the dog crashes into the console controlling the Moon. It returns to its orbit and the secret lair falls apart. The boy may not give up evil, but his abilities to further his plans will take a while to clean up.

This morning, I sat at my computer and cried. I had just read the passing of someone called Joyce Tan Siew Ling who lived in Malaysia. Now, I am not the type to mourn the passing of lives from this world to the next. After all, we are all here on borrowed time, and Death was the only thing that was ever promised to us at birth. It comes to us all sooner or later.
Many people will struggle to get the care that they need as they approach the end of their life. According to Marie Curie, between now and 2020, approximately 250,000 people will die in London. We need to ensure that everyone who needs end of life care can expect to receive a high level of care that is personalised, coordinated, and sensitive to the needs of those around the patient as they enter their final months, weeks and days.
Currently, the three people I would like to reach out to, say goodbye to and make peace with before I die, they have gone before me. They are dead. No more explanations. But I am taking their memories with me into every new day. I am trying to avoid repeats by speaking the truth and asking for the truth, even if I do not get an answer, even if the answer hurts.
I wrote in December about doing Christmas brilliantly. I hope everyone did and had a great time. Part of that ramble was saying that Christmas is an opportunity to end the year well and start a new one well. Ending something well has become a bit of a theme over the last few weeks for a number of reasons.
Whether it's through writing a will, making financial plans, planning for our future care and support including through making a Lasting Power of Attorney, or deciding whether we want to join the organ donor, all of us can increase the likelihood of getting our wishes met and reduce the chances of life after our death becoming even more difficult for the people we care about.
It's Autumn, well and truly. Equinox fell the weekend before last. Autumn is always new year in my heart. Not for me the arbitrariness of a new year in January when the Northern Hemisphere is in darkness. Rather, Autumn, when the air is full of life and death, possibilities and change. That's my new year.
How do we deal with terminal or life-shortening illness? What do we do, if it is us, a loved one or someone we know? There is no off-the-shelf answer; there is no simple solution. It is a journey we may find ourselves on unexpectedly and unprepared, or we may already be on the way, knowingly or unknowingly.
Marie Curie works on its own and in partnership with a wide range of NHS, public and voluntary sector organisations to tackle many of the challenges highlighted in today's report. We want everyone, wherever they live to be able to have a 'good death', provided with the care they want and need, with support available for them and their families.

I am sure a recent twitter post of mine might have confused some folks out there, so I decided to seek out my explanation of the magic from last year and re-run it here at FTP.
Here is the blog that I wrote about Chanel explaining her mystique and how she affected the Penguins run to the Stanley Cup last year!
* * * * *
What is Chanel? Sure, we all know it to be a perfume and fashion line… Wikipedia tells us that it is…
A Parisian fashion house founded by the late couturier Coco Chanel. Specializing in luxury goods (haute couture, ready-to-wear, handbags, perfumery, and cosmetics among others), the Chanel label has become one of the most recognized names in luxury and haute couture fashion industry.
The above is something that wouldn't be all that important to hockey fans…especially fans in Pittsburgh who follow the Penguins. However, I am here to tell you that Chanel should be a very important name from today and moving forward, as it is the name of a very special creature!
Chanel is the name of a dog that lives on Long Island and has been given the title of the "World's Oldest Dog." You might be asking yourself, "has Metzer lost his mind?" "Why the hell is he writing about some dog from Long Island in a Penguins blog?"
Well, I am writing about this special dog because of the mystical power she seems to have over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
We all know how superstitious hockey players can be, as well as their fans and even the media who cover them. Well, Chanel came into our lives last week, in fact it happened during game three of the Penguins/Capitals series.
As we all know, the Penguins were struggling to beat Semyon Varlamov through the early games in this series. They were peppering him with shots, but they just didn't seem to be finding the recipe for beating him with any consistency. That seemed to change about half way through that game three…let me tell you why?
Though us media folk all get along down at the Igloo, we tend to hang in cliques just like any other grouping of warm blooded mammals. One of the folks that I tend to hang out with at Penguins game is Angela Carducci from Inside Hockey and proponent of the Chanel movement!
Angela received an article in her email during the game and decided to give it a quick view, as the Penguins were not making any progress in taking the lead and trailed the series 2-0. In the email was the story of Chanel, the World's Oldest Dog from the New York Post.
Now, this is no joke, the moment she opened that email and began reading it, Evgeni Malkin scored to give the Penguins a 2-1 lead. In actuality, it was the picture in the following article that was on her screen, featuring Chanel wearing a pair of sunglasses.
New York Post Article on Chanel
At the time, we didn't think anything of it, but as the game went to overtime following Nicklas Backstrom's late goal, we sat wondering what we could do to help the Penguins out. We asked ourselves…what was it that we were all doing when Malkin scored the last Penguins goal? The name Chanel immediately came to us and the picture was brought back to her computer screen. Kris Letang scored the game winner shortly thereafter!
The same occurred on Friday night. I printed off larger versions of the picture at the office before heading down to the Mellon Arena for game four. I offered them to my girlfriend and her family, then went to my seat in the press box. I forgot to hand them out immediately, but remembered that they were in my portfolio once the Penguins fell behind 1-0, again on a Backstrom goal. Not long after we took out the pictures, Sergei Gonchar scored the tying goal and the Penguins never looked back, winning yet again!
The third uncanny Chanel incident occurred last night. I was watching the game and it was tightly contested throughout. The two teams had just fought to a 3-3 tie and were headed to overtime when it dawned on me that I again had forgotten to take out my Chanel picture! Well, I took it out and had it sitting there while David Steckel missed an open net at one end and Evgeni Malkin utilized a fortuitous bounce on the other to notch the game winner.
A quick text message to Angela, who was in Washington for the game, confirmed that she had also had Chanel on the screen for the win. Chanel had infiltrated the MCI Center and helped secure the victory and a 3-2 series lead for the Penguins.
Now, I agree with you…this sounds insane, but I think we have all been around the game of hockey long enough to know that you utilize what ever it is that works and this little pooch seems to be doing the trick for the Penguins right now!
The article is above and the link below will take you directly to the magic picture in case you would like to print yours for tomorrow night! Please spread the word and get Chanel into the Igloo tomorrow night to help the Penguins lock this one up!

Charmigt hotell med supertrevlig personalPosted Aug 6, 2016
Hotellet ligger jättefint uppe på en kulle ca 2,5km från San Gimignano. Det är lugnt och rofyllt och vi hade poolen nästan helt för oss själva. En kväll ordnade personalen en middag för alla boende (ca 12 pers), det var riktigt gott! Det var bland annat egengjord pasta och lokala viner. Der var verkligen supertrevligt att bo här och vi hade inget att klaga på. Tips kan vara att ha bil då det annars kan bli rätt långt att gå mellan de olika små byarna.

Franca, mother of Katia and sister of Falvio is a delightful lady who communicates well even though she speaks no English. She really made are arrival memorable. Fulvio and Katia are so accommodating and hard working. I enjoyed the cooking class with Katia which was scheduled last minute and Fulvio made sure that all are needs were met each day. He gave us suggestions for sightseeing and made us feel like family.

United States District Court, D. New Jersey
May 15, 2014
ROBERTO JESUS ARIAS ALIAGA, Petitioner,v.ROY L. HENDRICKS, Respondent.
KEVIN MCNULTY, District Judge.
Petitioner, Roberto Jesus Arias Aliaga, is an immigration detainee who was previously detained at the Essex County Correctional Facility in Newark, New Jersey.[1] Mr. Arias Aliaga is a citizen and native of Venezuela. He is proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 seeking his release from immigration detention. For the following reasons, the habeas petition will be dismissed without prejudice.
In 2009, Mr. Arias Aliaga was convicted in New Jersey of unlawfully taking a police weapon and sentenced to six years in prison. On October 21, 2012, upon his release from the New Jersey State Prison, he was taken into immigration custody. On January 23, 2013, an Immigration Judge ordered Mr. Arias Aliaga removed to Venezuela. On July 3, 2013, the Board of Immigration Appeals affirmed the removal. On October 9, 2013, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit denied Mr. Arias Aliaga's motion for a stay of removal. On December 3, 2013, Mr. Arias Aliaga's Third Circuit appeal was dismissed for failure to prosecute.
On October 2, 2013, while Mr. Arias Aliaga's Third Circuit appeal was pending, the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency ("ICE") issued its first post-order removal custody review. ICE determined at that time that Mr. Arias Aliaga would remain in custody. It noted that ICE was working with the Embassy of Venezuela to obtain a travel document to effect his removal and that it expected that the travel document would be issued in the reasonably foreseeable future. On January 8, 2014, Mr. Arias Aliaga's immigration detention was again reviewed by ICE with the same result. ICE noted in this decision that Mr. Arias Aliaga's travel document request was still pending before the government of Venezuela and that his removal was expected to occur in the reasonably foreseeable future.
On January 29, 2014, this Court received Mr. Arias Aliaga's petition for writ of habeas corpus. Mr. Arias Aliaga argues in the petition that the amount of time he has spent in immigration detention violates Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001). Additionally, he asserts that his due process rights have been violated. Respondent has filed a response to the habeas petition.
The Attorney General has the authority to detain aliens in removal proceedings both before and after the issuance of a final order of removal. Post-removal order immigration detention is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a). Section 1231(a)(1)(A) states that, "except as otherwise provided in this section, when an alien is ordered removed, the Attorney General shall remove the alien from the United States within a period of 90 days (in this section referred to as the "removal period")." Id. § 1231(a)(1)(A). The removal period begins on the latest of the following:
(i) The date the order of removal becomes administratively final.
(ii) If the removal order is judicially reviewed and if a court orders a stay of the removal of the alien, the date of the court's final order.
(iii) If the alien is detained or confined (except under an immigration process), the date the alien is released from detention or confinement.
Id. § 1231(a)(1)(B). Federal regulations provide that:
An order of removal made by the immigration judge at the conclusion of the proceedings under section 240 of the Act shall become final:
(a) Upon dismissal of an appeal by the Board of Immigration Appeals;
(b) Upon waiver of appeal by the respondent;
(c) Upon expiration of the time allotted for an appeal if the respondent does not file an appeal within that time;
(d) If certified to the Board or Attorney General, upon the date of the subsequent decision ordering removal; or
(e) If an immigration judge issues an alternate order of removal in connection with a grant of voluntary departure, upon overstay of the voluntary departure period, or upon the failure to post a required voluntary department bond within 5 business days. If the respondent has filed a timely appeal with the Board, the order shall become final upon an order of removal by the Board or the Attorney General, or upon overstay of the voluntary departure period granted or reinstated by the Board or the Attorney General.
8 C.F.R. § 1241.1(a). Section 1231(a)(2) requires that the alien be detained during the ninety day post-removal order period. See 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(2). However, if the alien is not removed during the ninety-day period, then § 1231(a)(6) authorizes that the alien be released on bond or that the alien be continued to be detained. Indeed, § 1231(a)(6) provides that:
An alien ordered removed who is inadmissible under section 1982 of this title, under section 1227(a)(1)(C), 1227(a)(2), or 1227(a)(4) of this title or who has been determined by the Attorney General to be a risk to the community or unlikely to comply with the order of removal, may be detained beyond the removal period and, if released, shall be subject to the terms of supervision in paragraph (3).
8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(6).
A. Zadvydas Claim
In Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678 (2001), the United States Supreme Court held that § 1231(a)(6) "limits an alien's post-removal-period detention to a period reasonably necessary to bring about that alien's removal from the United States. It does not permit indefinite detention." 533 U.S. at 689. To state a claim under § 2241, the petitioner must provide facts showing good reason to believe that there is no reasonable likelihood of his actual removal in the reasonably foreseeable future. See id. "Zadvydas does not delineate the boundaries of evidentiary sufficiency, but it suggests that an inversely proportional relationship is at play: the longer an alien is detained, the less he must put forward to obtain relief." Alexander v. Attorney Gen. of United States, 495 F.Appx. 274, 276-77 (3d Cir. 2012) (per curiam) (citing Zadvydas, 533 U.S. at 701). As a rule of thumb, the Court stated that six months is a presumptively reasonable period of post-removal detention under § 1231(a)(6). See Zadvydas, 533 U.S. at 701.
In this case, Mr. Arias Aliaga has been in post-order immigration detention for almost eleven months. That period of time in and of itself does not compel federal habeas relief. ICE states that it has been in contact with the Consulate of Venezuela as recently as April 3, 2014. At that time, the Consulate informed ICE that they "expect a travel document to be issued in the reasonably foreseeable future for the Petitioner." (Dkt. No. 10-2 at p. 4.) ICE's Deportation Officer further states that based on his experience and expertise, ICE will secure a travel document for Mr. Arias Aliaga in the reasonably foreseeable future. (See id.)
In light of the Deportation Officer's representations to the Court, Mr. Arias Aliaga has not yet shown that his post-removal-order immigration detention for ten-and-one-half months violates Zadvydas. Mr. Arias Aliaga has produced no evidence-for example, a showing that this particular nation has declined to accept deportees, or accept them within a reasonable time-to contest ICE's statement that the Venezuelan government expects to issue a travel document in the reasonably foreseeable future. Other courts have determined that similar periods of post-order removal immigration detention do not yet merit granting habeas relief under Zadvydas. See, e.g., Joseph v. United States, 127 F.Appx. 79, 81 (3d Cir. 2005) (per curiam) (affirming denial of Zadvydas claim despite petitioner being in immigration detention for almost eleven months); Pierre v. Dep't of Homeland Sec., No. 12-1869, 2013 WL 5570822, at *1 (M.D. Pa. Oct. 9, 2013) (eleven months); Moulton v. Sabol, No. 12-0922, 2012 WL 6012133, at *8 (M.D. Pa. Aug. 6, 2012) (noting that petitioner is not automatically entitled to be released despite being in post-removal order detention for ten months where he failed to provide any evidence that Liberia denied him as a citizen or that Liberia will refuse to issue the appropriate travel documentation for him in the reasonably foreseeable future), report and recommendation adopted by, 2012 WL 6012799 (M.D. Pa. Dec. 3, 2012).
I am mindful that Mr. Arias Aliaga's immigration detention is quickly approaching one year, and that the longer an alien is detained, the less proof he must put forward to obtain relief. See Alexander, 495 F.Appx. at 276-77 (citing Zadvydas, 533 U.S. at 701). Frankly, if I do not see some results, or at least some specific facts, and that fairly soon, I may well order his release. after sixty days has run from the date of this Opinion if he is still in immigration detention and has not yet been removed. In any potential motion to reopen, Mr. Arias Aliaga may submit further evidence to show that his removal will not occur in the reasonably foreseeable future. The government has made a rather minimal showing -basically, the Venezuelan authorities' bland recital of the "reasonably foreseeable future" standard, without supporting facts or any estimate of when the travel document will issue. Even if the petitioner submits no additional evidence, the persuasiveness of the government's evidence will diminish as time passes.
B. Due Process Claim
Mr. Arias Aliaga also alleges that his due process rights have been violated as ICE has failed to comply with regulations pertaining to the custody review process under 8 C.F.R. §§ 241.4, 241.13. He specifically claims that "ICE failed to respond within a reasonable period of Ten (10) days to Petitioner's request for a custody review based on good reason and evidence brought forth showing the unlikelihood of Petitioner's removal in the reasonably foreseeable future." (Dkt. No. 1 at p. 9.) However, the record indicates that Mr. Arias Aliaga received at least two individualized custody reviews in the months prior to his filing this habeas petition.
Post-Order custody reviews for criminal aliens detained while awaiting removal are governed by 8 C.F.R. § 241.4(k)(2), which provides for periodic and individualized custody reviews consistent with the criteria established by the Supreme Court in Zadvydas to prevent indefinite detention. Namely, post-removal order annual reviews must be conducted pursuant to § 241.4(k)(2) and an alien may request interim individualized custody reviews every three months between annual reviews. [ ] 8 C.F.R. § 241.4(k)(2)(iii). These individualized custody reviews also reflect the due process considerations discussed by the Third Circuit in Ngo [v. I.N.S.], 192 F.3d [390, ] 399 [(3d Cir. 1999)].
Resil v. Hendricks, No. 11-2051, 2011 WL 2489930, at *6 (D.N.J. June 21, 2011) (footnote omitted). The procedural rules considered in Ngo require that the alien receive: (1) written notice of the custody review; (2) the right to representation; (3) the right to an annual personal interview; (4) a written explanation of the custody decision; (5) the opportunity for review of the decision; (6) reviews every six months; and (7) a refusal to presume continued detention based on criminal history. See 192 F.3d at 399.
Petitioner fails to show that his due process rights were violated or that ICE failed to comply with its regulations. As noted, ICE conducted individualized custody reviews and issued decisions to continue to detain Mr. Arias Aliaga on October 2, 2013, or approximately ninety days after the Board of Immigration affirmed his removal, and again three months later, in January, 2014. Accordingly, Mr. Arias Aliaga's due process claim does not merit federal habeas relief. Accord Resil, 2011 WL 2489930, at *7 (finding that petitioner was afforded adequate due process through periodic individualized reviews of detention following procedures of 8 C.F.R. § 241.4 and Ngo); Wong v. Gonzalez, No. 05-5430, 2006 WL 995460, at *4 (D.N.J. Apr. 12, 2006) (finding petitioner "was afforded due process because he received a custody review of his continuing detention pending removal pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 241.4(i)).
C. Request for Preliminary Injunction
Petitioner has requested a preliminary injunction, arguing that this Court has already ordered that he be released by an Order entered March 5, 2014. (See Dkt. No. 12.)
To secure the extraordinary relief of a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order ("TRO"), a petitioner must demonstrate that "(1) he is likely to succeed on the merits; (2) denial will result in irreparable harm; (3) granting the injunction will not result in irreparable harm to the defendants; and (4) granting the injunction is in the public interest.'" Barber v. Sharp, No. 10-5286, 2011 WL 2223651, at *15 (D.N.J. June 2, 2011) (citing Maldonaldo v. Houston, 157 F.3d 179, 184 (3d Cir. 1998) (as to preliminary injunction); Ballas v. Tedesco, 41 F.Supp.2d 531, 537 (D.N.J. 1999) (as to temporary restraining order)). A preliminary injunction grants "intermediate relief of the same character as that which may be granted finally." De Beers v. Consol. Mines v. United States, 325 U.S. 212, 220 (1945). A petitioner "must establish that all four factors favor preliminary relief." Barber, 2011 WL 2223651, at *15 (citing Opticians Ass'n of Am. v. Indep. Opticians of Am., 920 F.2d 187 (3d Cir. 1990)).
Petitioner is not entitled to a preliminary injunction. For the reasons stated above, habeas relief is not warranted at this time. In addition, Mr. Arias Aliaga has misconstrued my March 5, 2014 Order. There, I ordered respondent to notify the Court within seven days if petitioner is released. That Order did not require that petitioner be released at that time. Accordingly, the request for a preliminary injunction will be denied.
For the foregoing reasons, the habeas petition will be dismissed without prejudice to a reapplication after 60 days. An appropriate order will be entered.

June 11, 1958
COMMONWEALTH EX REL. KOLBEv.KOLBE, APPELLANT.
Appeal, No. 206, Oct. T., 1958, from order of Municipal Court of Philadelphia (Domestic Relations Division), No. 201152, in case of Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ex rel. Barbara Kolbe v. Morton Kolbe. Order, as amended, affirmed.
Alfred L. Luongo, with him Edwin P. Rome, and Blank, Rudenko & Klaus, for appellant.
Kenneth Syken, with him B. Nathaniel Richter, Charles A. Lord, and Richter, Lord and Levy, for appellee.
Before Hirt, Gunther, Wright, Woodside, Ervin, and Watkins, JJ. (rhodes, P.j., absent).
[ 186 Pa. Super. Page 257]
This was a proceeding brought by a wife for her support under § 733 of the Act of June 24, 1939, P.L. 872, 18 PS § 4733.
Within one year after the marriage in December 1956, the parties separated. During the time that they were living together the respondent struck his wife on a number of occasions and otherwise subjected her to
[ 186 Pa. Super. Page 258]
physical abuse; and even after the separation she had him arrested for assault and battery because of a beating by him at their apartment where she had gone to get her personal belongings. He was guilty also of other mistreatment of her, which was unbecoming a husband. On this record she is not chargeable with misconduct and although she had reasonable cause, adequate in law for leaving him, it was he who left her. Clearly he is obliged to support her.
The lower court after full hearing made an order on the respondent requiring him to pay his wife $30 per week for her support. No child was born to them. The single question is whether the amount of the order is reasonable and proper under the circumstances.
The husband for three and one-half years had been a "junior" salesman in the employ of Benrus Watch Company. He testified that he worked wholly on commissions; that his gross income for 1956 had been $8,443 and that it was $8,330 for the year 1957 up to November 30th. The lower court, however, on its estimate of his credibility, believed that his earnings actually were higher. Under respondent's employment contract according to his testimony, he was obliged to absorb his traveling and other business expenses out of his earned commissions. He testified that his business expenses for 1956 amounted to a total of $7,903 leaving net earnings of only $539 or about $10 per week. He said that that amount appeared as a deduction in his federal income tax return for the year. His testimony that his expenses amounted to that sum, the equivalent of about $30 per day, is too fantastic for credence. As to that, also, the lower court did not believe him and neither do we. "A man's first duty is to his wife and only actual business expenses may be deducted to determine his income to which she may look for her support": Com. ex rel. Rankin v. Rankin,
[ 186 Pa. Super. Page 259170]
Pa. Superior Ct. 570, 87 A.2d 799. Respondent's father is a "senior" salesman for the same watch company; the father's income for a number of years had ranged from $35,000 to $73,000. He has been indulgent of his son and undoubtedly will continue to be so. The father testified that during 1957 he withdrew a total of $4,500 from his bank account on checks which he made payable to "cash". The proceeds of these checks he turned over to his son. After the cancelled checks were returned to the father by the bank, on balancing his account, the father had his son endorse his name on each of them. This undoubtedly was done as an afterthought in an attempt to give the payments the color of loans. We with the lower court, believe that these payments to the son were gifts, and not loans as contended below.
Within the limit of a maximum of 1/3 of a husband's income it is for the court to fix an amount which is reasonable and proper for the comfortable support and maintenance of the wife. In determining the appropriate amount of such order, however, the court is not restricted to the husband's actual earnings but may consider the nature and extent of all of his other financial resources including periodic gifts which reasonably may be expected to continue. So also in arriving at the amount of a support order a wife is not necessarily concluded by the amount of her husband's taxable income as computed by him in his federal return. Com. ex rel. Rankin v. Rankin, supra. The credibility of the respondent as to his financial resources was for the trial judge. Com. ex rel. Elgart v. Elgart, 137 Pa. Superior Ct. 418, 9 A.2d 202. And within the exercise of a reasonable discretion, the hearing court's estimate of the "sufficient ability" of a husband controls. Com. ex rel. Pinkenson v. Pinkenson, 162 Pa. Superior Ct. 227, 57 A.2d 720.
[ 186 Pa. Super. Page 260]
From a consideration of the entire record in this appeal it clearly appears that the lower court is not chargeable with an abuse of discretion in fixing the amount of the order at $30 per week under the circumstances. The court however by inadvertence, in the order of February 25, 1958, made it retroactive to November 6, 1957, the date of the wife's petition. This, the court was without authority to do. Commonwealth ex rel. Voltz v. Voltz, 168 Pa. Superior Ct. 51, 76 A.2d 464.
The effective date of the order is amended to February 25, 1958, and, as so amended, is affirmed.
