Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My sister had my son for 5 months due to my being ill and needing help. She refused to live with me for a short period, which resulted in him staying with her. She denied visitation except for a few times in which he stayed with me. There were no courts involved as it was voluntary on my part in the beginning. Shortly after she started violating our agreements, I tried to get him back, but she started hiding him from me. She has documentation only for educational guardianship during this time period and tried to refuse to give him back to me when her time was up. I got him back fighting tooth and nail, but now she's trying to claim him on her income tax return from Saudi Arabia. She had him for 5 months and 2 days total. From what I know, she must have him living with her 6 mos. or more.My sister currently resides in Saudi Arabia, but the events occurred in Texas. We lived 15 minutes from each other. She has no documentation of temporary guardianship and nothing was filed legally showing guardianship or determined through courts. It was voluntary at the time. Through help I was able to gain back custody on June the 9th and she had him as of January the 7th to June the 9th. The only thing she had after that time period was his belongings, which she refused to let me have until August.
She cannot. To confirm that you can, see irs.gov and complete the dependent questionnaire. Best of luck to you. If this answer was helpful or the best answer, please mark it accordingly. Thank you.

You may get someone with knowledge about Saudi Arabian tax law to answer you on here, but that is certainly not me.
I strongly suggest that if you need further assistance with custody that you get an attorney to help you protect yourself.
Good luck.Ask a similar question
Hi Mark, she did not keep him in Saudi Arabia. She lived 15 minutes away in the same county I lived in during that time. She moved there less than 2 months after her Educational guardianship expired and is claiming him on her American taxes.
I hope the other attorney's responses have provided the assistance you need. Good luck.
The IRS Code determines who can claim a child as a dependant. I am not a tax attorney. But it is my understanding as well that the person who has had the child for the majority of the year is the one who can claim him. It is my understanding that if she had the child for the majority of the year she would not need your permission to claim him on her taxes.
This does not establish an attorney/client relationshipAsk a similar question
It is unclear from your question if you are referring to her claiming him on a Saudi Arabia tax return or if you are referring to her claiming him on a US return while she resides in Saudi Arabia. If you are referring to a Saudi Arabia tax return, you need to ask a professional in Saudi Arabia. I suspect that although that is how your question seems to read, that is not what you mean. I suspect you are referring to her ability to claim your son on a US tax return while she lives in Saudi Arabia. If that is the case, you need to contact a tax professional (either a tax attorney or CPA). It is not really a question for a family law attorney.Ask a similar question
No, I was only stating that she moved there and has been living there since August. She had him for a little less than 5 months. This is for a US Tax return, but I cannot reach her in Saudi Arabia as I would when she lived here.
Based upon the facts presented, your sister is not entitled to claim your son on a U.S. Income Tax Return.

WASHINGTON - President Bush on Monday bowed his head in silence before the flag-draped casket of Gerald R. Ford - a man the president said used a calm, steady hand to guide the nation after the tumultuous Watergate years.
On a rainy, gloomy afternoon, Bush and first lady Laura Bush joined thousands of other mourners in paying their respects to the 38th president lying in state at the Capitol.
Silence fell under the Capitol dome when the president walked toward the casket, illuminated by spotlights and guarded at each corner by members of the military honor guard. He and Mrs. Bush lowered their heads for a few moments, as if in prayer, then turned and walked away across the Rotunda's polished stone floor, which reflected the flag's red and white stripes.
Bush, who said nothing during his one-minute stop in the Rotunda, is to eulogize Ford today at his funeral at the National Cathedral. After Ford died last Tuesday, Bush called him a "true gentleman" and recounted how Ford stepped into the Oval Office after President Nixon resigned in disgrace after the Watergate scandal.
"President Ford was a great American who gave many years of dedicated service to our country," Bush said in a statement released after the death. "On Aug. 9, 1974, after a long career in the House of Representatives and service as vice president, he assumed the presidency in an hour of national turmoil and division.
"With his quiet integrity, common sense and kind instincts, President Ford helped heal our land and restore public confidence in the presidency."
Bush visited the casket, his first public event of the new year, after returning from a weeklong stay at his Texas ranch.
Afterward, the Bushes visited for a half-hour with Ford's widow, former first lady Betty Ford. The Bushes then walked down Pennsylvania Avenue back to the Executive Mansion.
Bush visited the Capitol, where a changing military guard kept a watchful vigil throughout the night, on the third day of mourning there for Ford, who died at 93.
Shortly before the three-day public viewing ended, Mrs. Ford returned to the Capitol and sat in the Rotunda for about 20 minutes with her three sons and daughter and their spouses. She clutched the hand of her son Michael. Her son Steven helped her up when she walked over to the casket, touching it one last time.
Among the other dignitaries to pay their respects Monday were Bush's father, former President George H.W. Bush, and his wife, Barbara; former President Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y.; Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who this week becomes the first woman speaker of the House; Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.; former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld; and former Vice President Dan Quayle.
Members of Ford's family greeted mourners who came to the Capitol on New Year's Day wearing parkas, packing umbrellas and clutching snack sacks.
Karen Olson, 53, of Herndon, Va., said the rain couldn't dampen her determination to see Ford. Her mother, who's now deceased, was on his staff, she said.
"I wanted to come pay my respects. He was a big part of my life," said Olson, who was among the people lined up before 9 a.m. EST to enter the Capitol building. "I have a lot of ties to his family."
"The few times that I met him, he was just really nice," she said.
Both of Olson's parents have passed away.
"I kind of felt like I wanted to be there for them," she said. "There's just an emotional connection there."
Kirk Scofield, 44, and his wife, Mary Scofield, 50, of Sterling, Va., lined up early too. Mary, who said she had "six hours of food" in her backpack, expected a long wait, though they had been in line less than an hour. "She looks like she's ready to go camping," Kirk joked.
Inside the Rotunda, Ford's daughter and son handed remembrance cards to some of the visitors.
The blue cards had the presidential, vice presidential and House of Representatives seals and a biography of Ford on one side. On the other was a photograph of the former president in the Oval Office, his head bowed.
The message on the card: "The family of Gerald R. Ford deeply appreciates your prayers and many kindnesses as together we celebrate and honor the life of a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather and the 38th president of the United States."
Michael Gerald Ford, the former president's son, shook 8-year-old Christopher Witkowski's hand and gave him a blue remembrance card. "My father would have wanted you to have this," he told Christopher, from Alexandria, Va. Ford's sister, Susan Ford Bales, stood nearby, greeting others who had come to pay their respects.
Two of the former president's grandchildren, Heather Vance and Tyne Vance Berlanga, embraced after they were overcome with emotion at the casket.
Ford was appointed vice president by Nixon to replace Spiro Agnew, who resigned in a bribery scandal stemming from his days as Maryland governor. After Nixon resigned in disgrace, Ford assumed the presidency for 2- years. A month after taking office, Ford pardoned Nixon for any Watergate crimes he might have committed - a move that political analysts say was perhaps the main reason he lost the 1976 election to Jimmy Carter.
"At a time that the nation was under a lot of pressure, a lot of fire, he stood up for the things that he thought were right at the time," Edna Reeves, 61, of Oxon Hill, Md., said as she walked to the Capitol in the rain. "Much blessings to him for knowing compassion enough to pardon President Nixon. I think that was beautiful. You see he didn't think of himself, he thought about the nation."

Fantasy baseball debate: Prince Fielder vs. Joey Votto
As part of SI.com's 2014 fantasy baseball preview, our experts Michael Beller and David Gonos will be engaging in a series of debates. For our fourth debate, they argue whether you should target Prince Fielder or Joey Votto.
Michael Beller makes the case for Prince Fielder:
This is a tough one for me. I'm an unabashed Joey Votto supporter. I love how he embraces advanced statistics. Ask most MLB players which stat they believe is most important, and many will say batting average. Some will say RBI. As our understanding of stats improves, some will even say OBP or slugging percentage. When asked this question recently, Votto said weighted runs created plus, and he's likely the only player who would give that answer. There are few hitters I'd rather have on my real-life team. Votto does so many things that contribute to winning baseball.
A fantasy owner has to be able to celebrate head and heart, though, and some of what makes Votto such a great real-life player detracts from his fantasy value. Votto will undoubtedly help your batting average and OBP. Unfortunately, fantasy owners generally look for big-time power numbers out of their first basemen. As much as Votto does for his owners, he does not bring the same power potential to the table as do his counterparts at the top of the position. Votto doesn't seek RBI for RBI sake. If he's getting pitched around, he's going to take the walk. Even if he isn't, he's going to make a pitcher work. Votto swung at just 67 percent of pitches he saw in the strike zone last year, which ranked 55th in the league. Votto almost certainly won't challenge for the league lead in homers and RBI. Given everything else that he does, that's fine for the Reds. It is not fine for fantasy owners.
Prince Fielder, on the other hand, is a perennial threat to top both of those categories. He admittedly had a down year in the power department last year, but he still carries a career HR/FB ratio of 19.2 percent. He doesn't get nearly the attention Votto does for his discerning eye, but he, too, is regularly among the league leaders in walks. His .362 OBP last year broke a four-year streak of .400-plus OBPs. Still, his walk rate was north of 10 percent. For his career, Fielder is a .286/.389/.527 hitter.
Despite his girth, Fielder is among the most durable players in the game. He has played all 162 games each of the last three years, and has played in at least 157 games every year of his career. That makes his impressive slash numbers even more of an asset for his owners. Votto has held up quite well over his career, but he missed 51 games in 2012 and 31 in 2009. He doesn't carry a huge injury risk, but it is greater than the near-zero risk presented by Fielder.
Fielder's home run totals have declined from 38 to 30 to 25, starting with his last year in Milwaukee through his first two years with the Tigers. While the 25 homers he hit last year were a career-low, Fielder was still hitting long fly balls most of the time he put the ball in the air. His average fly ball distance of 293.7 feet was in the top 35 in the league and right in line with his career numbers. He also had a career-best 36 doubles last season. Now that he's in the hitter's paradise down in Arlington I'm willing to bet that more of those doubles sail over the fences and he pushes beyond 30 homers this year.
Finally, Fielder has quite possibly one of the very best lineups around him. Shin-Soo Choo and his .423 OBP left Votto and Cincinnati for Fielder and Texas. He'll hit leadoff with the speedy Elvis Andrus behind him. Adrian Beltre is expected to hit fourth, and Alex Rios will hit fifth. There may not be a better one through five in the league, and Fielder is right in the middle of that.
Don't get me wrong, I'd be happy to be a Votto owner this season. But given what I'm looking for out of my first baseman, I'd prefer to have Fielder on my squad.
GONOS: No. 1 player, comeback guys, possible breakouts, more in the first baseman primer
David Gonos makes the case for Joey Votto:
Without question, Fielder's one of the most prolific power hitters of the 21st century, with 285 home runs in his career. That number puts him 19th among active hitters, although, he's the youngest of all those that rank above him in home runs, at just 29.
Understand that he's coming off one of his worst seasons in a while, with the lowest batting average and fewest homers and walks in his career. He's leaving the hitter-friendly Comerica Park for a more neutral park, and he leaves a division that had just one park ranked in the bottom-15 for hitters last season.
It's not to say that Fielder is going to be bad, and I'll certainly take him more often than not when he's available to me. Fielder and Shin-Soo Choo join a formidable lineup, for sure, but will all those new parts gel with the old parts in the right fashion? How often have we seen a too-good-to-believe lineup stumble for reasons that don't have anything to do with balls and strikes?
Choo's coming off a career year (helping Votto) in a contract season -- will he keep those numbers up now that he got paid? How many times have we seen excellent free-agent hitters stay excellent in their first season with a new club? Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Hamilton and Albert Pujols are all examples of first-year free-agent signees that stumbled in Year One in new digs. And leadoff men, like Choo, are just as likely to trip up, considering the first years of Michael Bourn and Carl Crawford in new unis.
I won't even bring up the fact that the middle of the Rangers' lineup averages 31 years old.
Joey Votto might not have a home-run champion father, but he does have a dog named, "Maris," so that has to count for something.
Votto led the league with 726 plate appearances last season, which goes a long way in Rotisserie leagues (with a .305 batting average) and head-to-head formats (with 177 hits and a majors-leading 135 walks -- 20-percent more than the second place Choo with 112). Votto has led the National League in on-base percentage in each of the past four years and he earned a nothing-to-do-with-luck BABIP of around .365 over those four seasons.
While Votto loses Choo to Fielder's team, he does add the fastest prospect in baseball in SS Billy Hamilton at the top of the order. If Hamilton can learn to get on base and do his job effectively, there's no reason not to think Votto can't improve on last season's relatively modest numbers.
The early rounds of fantasy leagues are all about reliability -- and Votto has had fewer things change from his 2014 season than Fielder. In 2013, Votto beat Fielder in nearly every stat, except home runs and RBI. I expect that to happen again, although, Votto's RBI should come a bit closer while keeping his other stats above the line.

what happens if you have interlock violation while under probation, technically I have not started my probation, my first appointment with the probation officer is this week, I have been summoned to court this week as well due t o reported violat...
Hopefully you have a good Interlock company. Why did you blow hot? There are plenty of innocent materisl, liquids, fumes, and foods that will set off that machine. You need to hire an experienced DWI attorney who knows the science of breath and how that machine works. you can find me at www.dwimark.comSee question
Im supposed to be off probation in late january and did not take a breathilizer before or after I went to jail. Ive never had anything else happen while on probation and have taken all my classes and completed all assigned community service as wel...
It depends. What county did you get the DWI probation in? And what county was the PI in? While you are on probation for the DWI, depending on what county and the specific terms of your probation, you may have a requirement that you must report any additional offenses that you get arrested for while on porbation. Also, you may have a requirement that you can't refuse the breath test while on porbation. So did they offer you a breath test and you refused it for the PI? That may be a violation in itself.
But depending on the County, Judge, DA and your lawyer you may or may not go to jail. They can't just kick you out of probation, you get a Motion to Revoke. But based on the outcome, you could certainly go to jail. So you should hire the best lawyer you can afford and fight to stay out of jail. You can always find me at www.dwimark.comSee question
If someone is convicted on 1st DWI in Bexar County able to transfer the case to Harris County and enter the divert program offered to most DWI 1st Offenders? Is this possible or not...after already being convicted? Probation IS being transferred...
Unfortunately not. The DIVERT program is very specific for Harris County. In order to qualify for it you have to take a SALCE interview and then they provide you a specific program. It's essentially like deferred adjudication, but by another name. You got regular probation in Bexar and you can't swithc that into DIVERT in Harris, because Bexar has no equivalent. You can transfer your probation to Harris, but it will still be the same deal that you signed up for in Bexar. Sorry for the bad news.See question
My buddy had a beer in his hand and recieved and open container. The cop said I was also holding that can prior to my friend. However, I was not. Should I plead not guilty to this?
Absolutely plead Not Guilty. You are on Federal Conditional Discharge, right? you can't have any violations of the law. Some discharges allow you to consume alcohol and some don't, so really depends on yuour packet. But I would never plead guilty to anything.See question
No one was injured at the scene and I just had to pay fines and sur charge and my license was suspended for one year. I want to go back to work in security and will the DUI prevent me from working?
It seems that you have a conviction for a Class B Misdemeanor Driving While Intoxicated on your record. Please check and make sure with the local County Clerk.
If so, then this does not prevent you from OWNING a handgun. However, it does prevent you from obtaining a Concealed Handgun License because the conviction is still within the last 5 years. After 5 years is up, you may apply for your CHL if you also are ellgible under the factors listed below.
There are other factors or laws that may prevent you from OWNING a gun, but not based solely on a conviction of a Class B Misdemeanor DWI. For more information on a CHL, google the Texas Concealed Handgun Laws.
GC §411.172. ELIGIBILITY. (a) A person is eligible for a license to
carry a concealed handgun if the person:
(1) is a legal resident of this state for the six-month period preceding
the date of application under this subchapter or is otherwise eligible for
a license under Section 411.173(a);
(2) is at least 21 years of age;
(3) has not been convicted of a felony;
(4) is not charged with the commission of a Class A or Class B misdemeanor
or equivalent offense, or of an offense under Section 42.01,
Penal Code, or equivalent offense, or of a felony under an information
or indictment;
(5) is not a fugitive from justice for a felony or a Class A or Class B
misdemeanor or equivalent offense;
(6) is not a chemically dependent person;
(7) is not incapable of exercising sound judgment with respect to the
proper use and storage of a handgun;
(8) has not, in the five years preceding the date of application, been
convicted of a Class A or Class B misdemeanor or equivalent offense or
of an offense under Section 42.01, Penal Code, or equivalent offense;
(9) is fully qualified under applicable federal and state law to purchase
a handgun;
(10) has not been finally determined to be delinquent in making a
child support payment administered or collected by the attorney general;
(11) has not been finally determined to be delinquent in the payment
of a tax or other money collected by the comptroller, the tax collector of
a political subdivision of the state, or any agency or subdivision of the
(12) is not currently restricted under a court protective order or subject
to a restraining order affecting the spousal relationship, other than
a restraining order solely affecting property interests;
(13) has not, in the 10 years preceding the date of application, been
adjudicated as having engaged in delinquent conduct violating a penal
law of the grade of felony; and
(14) has not made any material misrepresentation, or failed to disclose
any material fact, in an application submitted pursuant to Section
Why wasn't it not on the report and will it show up for city employment? This event had happened in 2002.
Were you a minor at the time of arrest? What was the final disposition of your case? Did you pay an attorney to have it expunged or sealed?
Also, many times it depends on which background search a company is conducting. How did you review your background from TDPS? Have you tried searhcing on publicdata.com? It seems to be a favorite search engine among companies. However, there are countless databases that may have your record and the only way to truly ensure they will not expose your arrest to to file a Petition for Expunction or Petition of Nondisclosure, if you are elligible.
Please feel free to contact me. I need more information to adequately advise you and alleviate your concerns.
-Mark ThiessenSee question
can a misdemeanor be deferred?
It depends. What is the misdemeanor? A person charged with DWI cannot legally be offered or take a deferred adjudication probation per the statute. That being said, many counties will alter or reduce the offense to Reckless Driving, Obstruction of a Highway, or Deadly Conduct and offer a deferred adjudication.
As for all the other offenses, there is a good chance you can get a deferred adjudication offer. Depends on the County, Court, Prosecutor, Defense Attorney, and client's record.
I really need more information to advise you better.
Please don't hesitate to contact me.

The good news is: even if you did it, the DA will probably offer you deferred adjudication probation, which is elligible to be sealed if you successfully complete it.
Other than that, there is no way to tell you the outcome of your case. It depends on a million factors: defense counsel, the DA, the judge, the evidence they have agaisnt you, the quality of their witnesses, whether there is an actual video, etc. That's why you need to hire a skilled trial lawyer and not just a plea lawyer. Get someone who is willing to fight and go to bat against these DAs. But most likely, even if it's a terrible case, the DA will offer deferred, assuming you don't have a history of criminal mischief or other crimes.
Call a lawyer and fight! There are a million ways to skin a cat.
Feel free to contact me for a more thorough complimentary consultation.

I was placed on deferred adjudication and successfully completed it. Upon completion I was granted a petition for non-disclosure. I am now trying to get certified as a teacher in TEXAS. SBEC requires all teachers to get digital fingerprints done a...
If you completed deferred successfully, and you got your Petition for Non-Disclosure granted and signed by the judge, then all the documentation surrounding this arrest should be SEALED. This is different from an expunction. Where an expunction would legally allow you to deny ever being arrested.
The sealing of your records is targeted at not allowing private agencies to see your record. However, what private agencies depends on who has access to this information. Your lawyer, hopefully, inlcuded publicdata.com in the Order for NonDisclosure, as they are probably the leader in background checks. However, there are many other agencies out there and if one of these agencies got your public criminal record information before you got it sealed, then they still have it in their system. Any private agency should not be able to get your information after the date of sealing. However, it's almost impossible to determine who has your information before the date of sealing. Basically, you'll only know if it comes back during an interview, and then it is too late.
As for the FBI, yes, they have access to your sealed record. As for the finger print, it depends on which database your print is run against. The State should have sealed all these records if the Petition was executed correctly. However, if they run it through an FBI database then you will show up.
Try and run yourself on publicdata.com and see if your record pops up. Otherwise, it is basically up to you whether you disclose it to the school. If you disclose it, you don't get the job, if you don't then you risk them finding it and you don't get the job. It's up to you.
Please feel free to contact me for a more thorough complimentary consultation. I will be able to search your record and see if it is truly sealed.

Arrested for DWI in July 09. Took a field breathalyzer (0.04) then another at the station(0.028) Then taken to another station to have blood drawn. Am now concerned that my prescription meds will be a problem.
Short answer, they can test for whatever they want, but they will surely be testing for alcohol. The 0.04 you blew in the field was on a Portable Breath Tester (PBT) and the result is inadmissible in court, if we want it to be inadmissible. The breath test you took at the station was on an Intoxilyzer 5000EN. This is the breath test that the State of Texas has deemed scientifically reliable and it's up to the State to satisfy the Kelly prongs and get it admitted.
However, what concerns me is that both of your tests were below a 0.08. That means you were not intoxicated on alcohol. What they are going to come after you now is that you were intoxicated on prescription meds, or meds combined with the alcohol which caused a synergistic effect. See a case styled Layton v State of Texas in 2009.
In order for the State to prove up the meds they are going to need to know when you took those meds, what dosage, what the half-life is, and an expert to testify to the effects of this medication with those known values.
They will need a Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) to testify about the effects of your medication. So even if your meds show up in the blood, they still need an expert to testify how what showed up was affecting you. This is not easy. An expert can't just come in and compare you to the average person. If they can't make it relevant to you and probative, then the blood test should be suppressed. (this depends greatly on the Judge). They should have had a DRE run a drug recogniton evaluation on you, which would have included: measuring your pulse rate, pupil size, the SFSTs at the station, muscle rigidity, signs of injestion, admissions, etc. It's a very technical 14 step process. There are very few agencies and officers that can get this correct.
In the end, you have a very defendable case, assuming the video doesn't show a gross loss of physical and mental faculties due to intoxication. Contact a lawyer who knows about DRE and DWIs. Prescription meds and blood truly is the next wave of science that we are conquering. Please feel free to contact me for a more thorough complimentary consultation.
God Bless America,

I have h-phobia, which is a fear of long words. Its' a real fear, I swear. I fainted the first time I saw it, and every time I see it now my heart beats fast, I can't breathe , I start having cold sweats. In other words, long words scare me senseless.
My problem is mostly with seeing the words. The sheer amount of space they take up on the page stops me cold. I tremble, I want to hide, but I can't. The mere thought of sounding out the word makes me sweat.
See, my mom wanted a genius kid, and when I wasn't learning quite as fast as she wanted me to in school, she gave me "extra tutoring" at home. She would have me read aloud, and every time I stumbled over a word, she's slap me, lightly at first, and then harder as I made more mistakes. The point was to make me associate getting things wrong with pain, but really it made me associate pain with those long words. Eventually it grew from slaps to burns, or cuts from her kitchen knives.
"This is all to help you," She'd say. "To make you smarter, better than the other kids."
And I believed her. I was a kid, with complete faith in my parents. Well, parent. My dad was always off on "business trips" with his secretary. Whenever he was home, mom would make sure I wore long sleeved shirts so that once I grew old enough, good enough, we'd be able to unveil my literary, quick-learning genius.
That was the plan anyways. It was all ruined when dad came home early. He caught us in the middle of another lesson. We were reading "Redwall," which was totally appropriate for a young, kindergarten-age genius like me. I don't remember if it actually was.
Anyways, once dad saw mom's kitchen knife and lighters, he had the shit scared out of him. Not really of course, but you know what I mean. He was a smart man though. He pretended that he totally believed her and agreed with her, but that that was enough reading for one day, since he was home. After I pulled my shirtsleeves back down and mom started cooking dinner, he left the room.
Ten minutes later, the cops came in and took mom away. Dad divorced mom, and she was sent away somewhere. I dont' know where. I don't care where.
Either way, it was too late. I was already scarred both on the inside and the outside. And even if mom's not around to make things worse, some days are still worse than others. The other day I lost "understanding" and "tolerance", but learned to get it and deal with it instead. But most of all, on those bad days not only do the big words scare me, but I'm also scared of what comes next. What if my fear gets stronger, and I can only read little words? What if some day I can only take the one s-word words, like "it", or "that", or "who?" or "what?"
What if someday I even lose those?

All eyes were on Vancouver yesterday as England beat hosts Canada 2-1 in the quarter-finals of the women's World Cup.
But bosses at Deutsche Bank were watching the fortunes of England's left-back, Claire Rafferty, particularly closely. The Chelsea player juggles her footballing commitments with a spot of analyst work at the German giant three days a week. The bank is still reeling from a record $2.5 billion (£1.58 billion) fine for Libor rigging so will doubtless get her back to work quickly even if she returns home triumphant.
AO is hell on wheels, say delivery drivers
White goods retailer AO may be making waves with customers and awards panels, but perhaps bosses should listen to the feedback from their employees.
According to website Glassdoor, where people post anonymous reviews of employers, former staff of AO's delivery business, Expert Logistics, rate it 1.5 out of five. Says one driver: "Close down or learn management skills on how to treat your employees with the respect they deserve instead of compiling ways to fine your drivers." AO helps incentivise its drivers not to be too clumsy by fining them for damage. He adds: "The most magical time at this 'company' is when you leave for another job. I now know how a slave feels when he's freed for the first time."
AO claims that 81% of drivers recommend Expert as a good place to work. The rest, presumably, said: "AO, let's go."
Do it yourself
Michael Loeve, the new chief executive of B&Q, is said to be a keen DIY-er. That's lucky because his house in Denmark is a less-than-sprightly 103 years old and in need of maintenance. That staff discount should help.
Just a shade too late to sex up this selling book
To the Ham Yard Hotel where, fittingly for a Soho venue, Cavendish Corporate Finance founder Lord Leigh of Hurley and 100 guests had a flirt with some S&M (sales and marketing, of course) for the launch of the firm's new book The Definitive Guide to Selling Your Business.
It was co-authored by partners and serial business sellers Peter Gray and Caroline Belcher. "When Peter Gray told me it was to be a very nuanced tome I thought 50 Shades of Gray would have been a perfect title if it had not already been taken and anyway I suppose the book is more M&A than S&M," Lord Leigh quipped.
Another dimension for US superbrands
While British foodies are ever keener to go back to the old days with artisan produce hand-crocheted by farmers' wives, the US superbrands continue charging in the opposite direction. PepsiCo boasts that its lastest crisps, Deep Ridged "potato chips", were developed on a 3D printer. Yum.
Wiki founder's latest venture
Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales showed his softer side last month by choosing Frozen's Let It Go as one of his Desert Island Discs. The 48-year-old also joked about how he is one of the few internet entrepreneurs that is not a billionaire — a fact investors in his latest venture, The People's Operator, will be hoping changes very soon. According to a recent filing, Wales has spent £104,000 increasing his stake in the AIM-listed mobile phone operator to almost 8% ahead of an expected launch in his native US. Details of the launch remain a closely guarded secret but Spy understands he is pretty confident about making a splash across the Pond...Reuse content

|Reviews for My Children
| Elemarth chapter 1 . 7/27/2008
Aw (sniff). That's so good. And it could fit for anyone in a difficult time.
I'm on ch. 6 of Daughter of the Republic. I guess I'll review that once I get caught up. _
| MandaSammi chapter 1 . 8/5/2005
Beautiful. I love this 'blessing' it makes me want to cry. I wish Padme' had been able to say something like this to her children. She was such a strong character it really didn't make sense for her to just give up and abandon her children. Thanks for giving her some humanity, and showing the love that she had (or should have had) for her children.
| Abigail33 chapter 1 . 7/26/2005
this is Melissa. that was a beautiful one-shot. i love the emotion. what i didn't like about the movie was the way that padme's dying thoughts were unheard. you really brought that to life. good job.
| BreathingFlames chapter 1 . 7/23/2005
*sniffles* Wow. that was amazing. It struck so deep, was so emotion-filled, that I got shivers. I really loved this. It was beautiful and made me want to cry and sing at the same time...
Thank you so much for this.
| WizardWriter86 chapter 1 . 7/23/2005
Nice, Lady Kelina, It was sad that in the movie she didn't seem to have time to do anything but name the kids. I suppose this is how she would "bless" her children. It's really nice piece.
| vine chapter 1 . 7/23/2005
Aw, how sad. This was SO sad in the movies, cause you knew she had to die, but you couldn't help liking her, all the same.

The Atlanta Falcons have signed rookie offensive lineman Peter Konz and three other draft picks to multiyear contracts. Terms of the deals were not announced by the team. Atlanta finished a three-day rookie minicamp on Sunday. Konz, selected in the second round out of Wisconsin, will compete for the right guard job. Atlanta signed fullback Bradie Ewing, a fifth-round pick from Wisconsin, safety Charles Mitchell, a sixth-round pick from Mississippi State and former South Carolina defensive tackle Travian Robertson. Ewing will battle Mike Cox for the starting job at fullback. The Falcons released Ovie Mughelli, the starter since 2007, in a move last week to create salary cap room. Atlanta still must sign offensive tackle Lamar Holmes, a third-round pick, and defensive end Jonathan Massaquoi, a fifth-rounder.

Sealing glass into Aluminium Frame
I'm currently attempting to cure a window leak on the starboard window of my Sadler 25, I've removed the frame and glass and disassembled the lot.
The frame part of the window is in two parts that slide onto the glass from either end and clamps together in the middle, the glass sits in a deep channel in the aluminium.
Then the whole lot is clamped to the side of the cabin, it's the aluminium that sits against the glass fibre though, not the glass.
I need some advice on the best sealant for sealing the glass in the aluminium channels. Special glass Silicon, Sikaflex, Butyl rubber?
Have a friend in the building industry. Showed him my just purchased roll of butyl. He called it Glazer's Tape, it's what they use to seal windows in commercial building applications. Sounds like just what you need.
I use Sikaflex.
Thanks, did it with butyl, incredibly messy! Gonna pack some more in later on as theres a couple of voids :)

Our Daily Bread, 9-10-90
One winter a resort in Breckenridge, Colorado, posted signs instructing skiers to keep off a certain slope. The signs, large and distinct, said, "DANGER! OUT OF BOUNDS!"
In spite of the warnings, however, several skiers went into the area. The result? A half-mile-wide avalanche buried four of the trespassers beneath tons of snow and rock. This tragedy never would have happened if the signs had been heeded.

by Mary Lythgoe Bradford
Paperback / 172 pages / 0-941214-58-3 / $7.95
With evident fondness, Bradford recalls the old ward house and her activities there, including the weekend budget movies which, "although they were family outings were not family movies. They were horrendous affairs which scared me for years." She remembers Uncle George who had a cleanliness fetish and flooded their backyard cesspool. She recalls the research for her master's thesis on Mormon novelists, "the forbidden Vardis Fisher," Maureen Whipple, and Virginia Sorensen, and her naivete her first year in Washington, D.C. She remembers taking up jogging in the 1970s, and flying to Utah for her father's ninetieth birthday celebration, which turned into a funeral instead. She describes her recent visits to the Phillippines and Spain with her children who served church missions there.
Mary Lythgoe Bradford, M.A., English, University of Utah, is the author of Lowell L. Bennion: Teacher, Counselor, Humanitarian; editor of Personal Voices: A Celebration of Dialogue and of Mormon Women Speak.

The Takeaway
US Mayors Take on Gun Control... During the Super Bowl
As famous for its commercials as the big game itself, this year the Super Bowl premiered an ad starring New York mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston mayor Tom Menino. The thirty-second spot promoted Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a coalition group of 600 mayors organized to promote urban safety by preventing the flow of illegal weapons into cities across the United States. While the ad may have seemed out of place alongside ads for cars, websites, and beers, the message it promoted was, in many ways, as uncontroversial as the aforementioned products.
Dan Baum, a contributor to Harper's Magazine who's writing a book about guns and the people who love them, joins the program to discuss the reactions to this high-profile spot.

One Beloved Sight
They breached the trees, running towards us and stopping a hundred yards or so from our own lines in a weak triangle formation. I looked automatically to the leader of the triangle, expecting Lorcan.
My stomach twisted and I gasped in pain. Worse pain than anything, worse than losing Elywn, Elendil or the fear of losing Eddia. It was as if someone had stuck a barbed knife between my ribs and carved a hollow shape out of my heart. My blood sunk away from my veins and into the floor as my gasp was echoed from the three elves closest to me.
He stood head of the group, his shoulders broad and strong, his stance one of intense focus and passion. He looked just as I had done when I fled the East Forest for he was now the same age; but he looked younger.
My young one. My precious young one, grown. His brown hair fell to his shoulders but was tied up with a strip of leather and his brown eyes were set in a hard stare at me as I headed the opposing triangle. He wore a green tunic completely spotless and had a vast array of weapons everywhere I looked. He had a well structured face, his high cheek bones stuck out where had his jaw clenched shut. At his sides, his hands too were clenched as his chest heaved.
"Elendil?" I exclaimed, taking a disbelieving step forwards. Instantly, my son formed a defensive position towards me, raised his sword and snarled.
"What?" I echoed the others behind me, "Peace, Elendil."
"Back off." He snapped.
I blinked, utterly shocked. Was this truly my beautiful, serene young one? Mine who would never hurt anyone? It could not be.
Lorcan sidestepped slightly so he came into full view on Elendil's right side and grinned gloatingly. Now it was my turn to snarl.
"What have you done to my son, Lorcan?" I yelled furiously, pacing forwards.
"Get back!" Elendil roared in warning. But I was past hearing him.
I stretched out my hands to hit out at Lorcan but I found myself on the floor before I could reach him. Once I reaslied what was happening, I tried to stand up but found my limbs had been rendered immobile. My eyes looked up and found Elendil with his palm towards me. It was him that held me still. Elendil knew magic?
"It seems you did not know our captain could use magic, traitor." Lorcan spat down at me, "Elendil, let him up, son."
As soon as the pressure was released I knelt upwards, "Your son?" I challenged my old foe.
"Yes," He rasied his eyebrows like he had no idea what I was talking about, "What of it?"
"He is my son! Mine!" I shouted, "Do you not know me, Elendil?" I implored, pleading with my eyes. His resolve faltered, his feet shifting his weight uncomfortably, "You must know it."
My son's eye flicked to Lorcan who shook his head so Elendil raised his sword at me again and narrowed his eyes.
"Please," I whispered, "I used to tell you stories. I took you to the river, remember, Elendil? Elwyn and I loved you, everyone loved you. We escaped to Eitan." His eyes widened at the familiarity of the name, "Yes, yes my son. Then we went back to the East Forest and I was taken away."
He lowered his weapon, "What is this, Lorcan?" He turned to face the shirt elf.
"I warned you of their tricks, my son. They want you."
"No!" I stood up, "You can do magic, so can I! It is genetic, you cannot belong to Lorcan. You are my son."

USD/JPY: "increasingly neutral"
USD/JPY was capped today by resistance at the 55-day MA in the 99.35 area, but found support today around 98.70 (50% Fibo of the decline from May highs to June lows). Today the greenback stays in a narrow range.
The level of 98.15 remains a key one on the downside. The loss of it will turn the focus to 97.75, 97.50 and 96.10. On the upside the most important level to watch is the psychological mark of 100.00. Below this handle the bulls will keep feeling very uncomfortable. Further obstacles lie at 100.55 (top of the Cloud), 100.85 and 101.40/50.
We'll likely get a negative set-up on the weekly chart. At the same time, Brown Brothers Harriman points out that "still, it's a little bit hard to buy the yen at the moment. Japanese participants do not want to take positions ahead of a Japanese holiday on Monday, especially with Chinese GDP growth release that day." OCBC Bank is turning "increasingly neutral" on USD/JPY in the near term given that stale bullish dollar bets globally may continue to see a capitulation in the near term. Japanese economic data keep gradually improving, but have little effect on the pair.

Gold Wrapped Lamborghini Aventador Stars in Video
Project Au79 by Prestige Imports is a gold-wrapped Lamborghini Aventador LP-700 that was designed to be an attention grabber. Its goal was to become its own character for filmmakers, and now it stars in its first feature film.
Working with the team from Cinemotive Films, Project Au79 gets the spotlight in a well-executed video that manages to feature several exotic vehicles alongside beautiful women in a tasteful fashion. If there was ever a video that exemplified the meaning of 'car porn', this one is it.
The Aventador takes a nice tour of Miami, with the team shooting coverage in some of the most secured areas of the city, including inside a shopping mall.
Watch Project Au79 in action below.

PSA: Beware! Friday the 13th: The Game's servers are a total mess right now
May 26, 2017 | 5 Comments
I'm back, accompanied by GameZone's Anthony, and together we begin our descent into the Dark Souls 2 Crown of the Sunken King DLC. Rei II is back and she is as regal as ever; the one true queen if you will. In our seventh adventure, we explore the properly named Grave of the Dead. What a wretched place. This place is very similar to the Black Gulch but far worse. How about we replace the poison shooting statues with curse shooting statues? Sounds fun, yup! At the end, we discover the optional boss in this DLC. I umm, don't do well. They be tough yo.
Is that Havel?

EUobserver gives one-sided view of Azerbaijan
By Leon Cook
I would like to take issue with EUobserver over two articles by Andrew Rettman entitled "Accidental war waiting to happen on EU periphery" on 14 May and "Azerbaijani lobbyists target EU opinion" on 24 May.
When writing about Nagorno-Karabakh, I would have thought it wise to mention that the regions that you refer to as "disputed territory" are in fact acknowledged by the UN Security Council, the EU and Nato as being Azerbaijani territory.

I also find it strange that you do not refer to the fate of the 875,000 Azerbaijani refugees and internally displaced persons forced from their home during the conflict. I find it extraordinary that you choose to ignore the fate of these people.
I suspect that the one-sided view of the conflict and the region, as well as the interest in Azerbaijani groups, may be explained by EUobserver's links with the European Friends of Armenia (EuFoA).
Andrew Rettman between 4 and 8 May visited Armenia to observe the elections and meet officials, with the support of EuFoA.
I am confident that the information contained in these articles are an attempt by them to deflect and 'push-back' against Azerbaijan's engagement in Brussels.
Please reassure me that this is not the case, and publish this letter.

About Sandra Vásquez de la Horra
Sandra Vásquez de la Horra's art explores themes of violence, persecution, and sexual abjection. Drawing from religion, superstition, myth, and her experience of Chile's Pinochet dictatorship, the artist renders crude human and beast-like figures in pencil on paper and then immerses the sheet in molten beeswax to achieve a timeless patina. Often including words written in Spanish, English, German, or a mixture, Vásquez de la Horra's mysterious and intimate works suggest the influence of Surrealism, Dada, and Francisco de Goya's phantasmagoria (stemming from a type of "magic lantern" show, in which images of skeletons, demons, and ghosts were projected on to walls).

So if you are like me you probably are used to the little drop down arrow next to the back and forward buttons to be able to navigation back multiple pages at a time. For me this is crucial, I use this feature everyday. Well in IE9 I discovered that there is no little arrow. But the feature is still there. All you have to do is right click on either of the buttons and you will get the drop down menu selection for past/forward pages.

Mitchell Cushman: Taking Theatre to New Places
Over the past few months, I have been introducing you to some trailblazing professionals in my ongoing effort to change the perception of the word "millennial." These six adventurers, ground breakers and revolutionaries are changing their industries with their unique views as young professionals. Last month, you met Rudayna Bahubehsi, a woman who is likely going to change the world before she's 30, and today I have the pleasure to introduce...
Meet Mitchell Cushman
Immersive Theatre Creator
Founder and Artistic Director of Outside the March
Freelance Director, currently directing his second production at the Stratford Festival
If you've picked up a NOW Magazine or a Stratford Festival guide, you've seen his name. In 2009, Mitchell co-founded Outside the March, a theatre company dedicated to making immersive, site-engaging, new theatre. You may remember his 2012 off-Mirvish production of Terminus, which opened at the Royal Alex Theatre to rave reviews. This summer he is co-directing the ambitious 2016 Stratford production, Breath of Kings: Rebellion and Redemption -- a staging of Richard II, Henry IV Part 1 and Part 2 and Henry V, back-to-back.
Caitie Drewery: As I write this, you are in tech rehearsals at Stratford. What is it like to be part of such an iconic theatre festival?
Mitchell Cushman: It's a really exciting time to be here. Antoni Cimolino is doing a lot of innovative things to expand the audience base -- and he is genuinely supportive of the next generation of Canadian artists.
CD: Your theatre company, Outside the March, is known for its "site specific" productions, meaning that all of your shows are performed in non traditional theatre spaces. Why?
MC: One of the first productions we did with Outside the March was a show called Mr. Marmalade, and it was the first site specific show that I had ever worked on. It helped me discover my voice as an artist and the kind of work I wanted to be doing. It was staged in a real kindergarten classroom and I just found it so much more freeing -- both for myself and the performers. Since then I try to think of the stage, or a set, like a playground, using as much innovation and creativity as possible.
So now at Outside the March we're doing things that only we can do. Shows and performances that aren't going on anywhere else. And when you're in a city in Toronto where there's such a glut of exciting things going on, I think that as a young artist trying to break in, you really have to figure out what it is you can do that other people aren't doing.
CD: Theatre can often be misconstrued as stuffy and rigid. What role can millennials play in transforming theatre?
MC: Theatre is a niche thing -- but I don't believe it should be. I think there is more that theatre could be doing to challenge people's expectations. I think millennials can play a role in redefining it. In our shorter attention span culture where everything is mediated on screens, the value of a truly live, inter-personal experience is huge... if you can just get people through the door and keep their attention.
I'm excited about working with people of all ages but in general I'm excited to work with people who don't have a fixed definition of what they think theatre should be, or how they want to work. I think that too much formula is really death to putting on something creative. Millennials are more flexible -- they don't have any expectations that are going to correspond to a certain kind of mold and I think that's really exciting.
CD: What advice do you have for someone looking to follow in your artistic footsteps?
MC: I think the hardest thing for a young artist or a young company to do in this city is to develop their own brand, or identity. And it MUST be genuine. I remember being in playwriting class in Grade 12, and I had just written this one-act play called Intermission (a sitcom-esque comedy) and now I felt I needed to write something really, really serious. So what I tried to write, was just so melodramatic and plodding and terrible because I was writing what I thought other people expected me to write. And I remember reading it and thinking (and this was the aha moment for me) if I was an audience member, I would hate this. That's what lead me to write this other one-act called All Relative about people who coincidently turn out to be related to one another, it was almost taking the piss out of those more serious situations. And taking it somewhere that I found was genuinely entertaining. You really just have to create work that you first would want to see and trust that there is other people like you out there.
CD: What does the concept of "millennial" mean to you?
MC: I guess millennials are considered to be this new wave of young workforce, but we ourselves are also feeling like dinosaurs compared to people who are coming just after us. I think there's not really anything that's different going on than what's gone on in any sort of other generational wave. People always come in with their own new ideas and when those new ideas can't get plugged into an existing system, it's that the system itself that needs to change.
And I think maybe this generation is not looking to be just a cog in the wheel, but maybe have a little autonomy and ownership. I think millennials get a bad rap for not wanting to grow up. There's this idea that the generations before us are saying "well you're 25 now, get a job, start a family and and stop having your hands in all these different pies." But I think that it's not a refusal to grow up, but it's actually something really interesting and cross-disciplinary about people refusing to define themselves in one very linear, narrow way.
CD: Bonus question: favourite TV show you are binge-watching right now.
MC: To be honest these days I listen to podcasts more -- because I can listen to them while I go about my day. I feel I get behind on TV. I'm still catching up on Game of Thrones, because I had never seen it before and I thought that before directing this Shakespearean history epic, I should catch up on that show.
The Mitchell Cushman Crib Sheet -- My Top Takeaways
For all of you theatre nerds out there, Mitchell is proof that you can make it in the arts -- but only if you are willing to work your butt off, be extremely creative and be open to the ups and downs of the industry. And because he knows how hard it is to work in the industry, he's exceptionally supportive of young people and new theatre. Mark my words, Mitch is on the path to theatre fame... just remember, you heard about him here first.
Here are four quotes that really stuck out to me:
"I think there's not really anything that's different going on than what's gone on in any sort of other generational wave. People always come in with their own new ideas and when those new ideas can't get plugged into an existing system, it's that the system itself that needs to change."
"In our shorter attention span culture where everything is mediated on screens, the value of a truly live, inter-personal experience is huge."
"I think that it's not a refusal to grow up, but it's actually something really interesting and cross-disciplinary about people refusing to define themselves in one very linear, narrow way."
"I think there is more that theatre could be doing to challenge people's expectations."

Find and foster different mentors for your varying skillsets. We're more connected than we've ever been before to various acquaintances, friends, and professionals through our various social networks, which can be a huge source of support in a sometimes formidable technological world. Seeking out the help of someone a little bit more seasoned is one of the best things a millennial can do (just make sure to stay in touch with them). Having some outside perspective can help you sort out what you'd like to do in your life.
Everyone who has something to learn also has something to offer. While millennials are often branded as being a tech-savvy generation, that is often a simplistic view. Millennials do offer that, but, in many cases, they offer a far more realistic answer to certain situations. That's why offering to mentor someone in the basics of your strong suit can be so useful for you and your mentorship student. By simply opening up your mind and thought process to another person, you'd be surprised how much both parties end up learning from it.
Despite widely reported issues surrounding our average student and personal debt, millennials aren't actually doomed to a life of financial ruin. In fact, nearly half of all people in their 20s have started saving their money in a dedicated account. It turns out that the biggest hurdle facing millennials and their money isn't a lack of ability when it comes to saving money, but a lack of trustworthy/good advice when it comes to money matters. To put it simply: we need to stop viewing our parents as the sole authorities on financial advice in our lives. Various studies show that millennials tend to struggle with finding a good source to provide financial guidance, and ultimately end up standing in place. We're not saying to cut out the opinions and advice of your folks; they probably have some great tips and tricks (and, you know, respect your elders and all that) for you. But that advice should be paired with firsthand financial knowledge, and that's on you to seek out and learn. You'll be thankful that you took the initiative to understand (and control) your financial future, and so will your family back home.
Do you like Netflix? Of course you do. Do you like sleeping? You don't even need to answer that. Are these in short supply sometimes? Now that's the most problematic bit. One of the things that people often overlook in their lives is scheduling a block of "Me Time." It seems like we stretch ourselves pretty thin in a lot of ways (work, relationships, home care, etc.) and when we crash, we crash hard. This makes dealing with the overwhelming nature of life and its endless possibilities extra tough. If your brain is in overdrive, how can you make a coherent choice about anything? It's not impossible, but it's still hard. That's why a diverse array of business leaders and industry thinkers have been examining how we live our lives, and they've all come to the same conclusion: the work-life balance needs to be rebooted, and we can start by severely limiting how much work and digital noise we bring home with us. This is why it's so important to budget out proper rest and relaxation time time for napping, relaxing, and binge-watching the shows in your Netflix queue. For every step you take towards realizing yourself and your dreams, make sure to take a moment to recharge and congratulate yourself for the forward momentum you've generated. You're not being a Lazy Millennial; you're ensuring that you're not headed towards a midlife crisis down the road. Maybe the older generations could stand to take some advice from you for a change. The road map to Being A Millennial is being written every day, and there's no right or wrong way to navigate this relatively unique point in history. But as long as you're pushing forward and keeping your dreams in sight (no matter what form those dreams may take), you're on the right path. Good luck!

Kilt in McDonald Tartan, made by Scovell & Spurling, circa 1917. It is part of a traditional Scottish Highland's costume worn by Lorna McDonald for dance performances in Nullawil and Wycheproof in northern Victoria around 1917. This included a World War I fundraisng event in Wycheproof in 1917.The costume, which comprises ten parts, is almost identical to one worn by her twin sister Mavis which was acquired by the Museum from the sisters' daughter/aunt in 2013. The sisters' grandparents migrated from Scotland in the 1850s and were the daughters of Neil and Annie May McDonald.
Neil McDonald's parents migrated from Scotland in the 1850s and the family settled in the Nullawil and Wycheproof region of northern Victoria. Neil was first a farmer in Nullawil and then owned a general store there, along with his father and his brother. When his brother George opened a larger store in Wycheproof, Neil joined him there until he opened his own store in Marnoo. Sadly he died from influenza in 1919. Neil and wife Annie May's daughters, Lorna and Mavis McDonald, frequently wore their traditional Scottish Highland's costumes at community events demonstrating traditional Highland dancing.
Highland dance refers to a style of athletic solo dancing which developed in the Highlands of Scotland, and is often performed to the accompaniment of Highland bagpipe music. It developed into its current form during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in the context of competitions at public events, particularly the Highland games. Highland dance has been subject to many influences from outside the Highlands. For example, it has been heavily influenced by the urban aesthetics of the patrons and judges of dance competitions since the nineteenth century.
Physical Description
Tartan kilt in McDonald tartan, with silk lining around waist, four ribbon rosettes held onto the front of the kilt by four diamond-shaped silver buttons with a thistle emblem on each.
