Greensburg Diocese offering Faith Finder mobile app
GREENSBURG — The Diocese of Greensburg has introduced Faith Finder, a free mobile application.
Developed by the diocesan Office of Information Technologies in conjunction with the Computer Science Department and Center of Excellence for Remote and Medically Under-Served Area at Saint Francis University, Loretto, the free app will provide users with information such as Mass times, a directory of parishes, and prayers and guides.
The app features a service locator, which allows users to locate Saturday evening and Sunday Masses within specific time frames and distance.
There is also a directory of all 78 parishes in the diocese with each church's address, weekend Mass schedule, contact information and distance from the user's location. Within seconds, a user can find a Mass to attend anywhere in the four-county diocese, which covers Armstrong, Indiana, Fayette and Westmoreland counties.
The app is currently a shared platform for information for the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown and the Diocese of Greensburg. Users can select which diocese they would like to access upon opening the app.
Saint Francis University hopes to serve and partner with other Catholic dioceses across the state and country to provide Catholics with pertinent and helpful information via Faith Finder.
To download, search Faith Finder in the Apple App Store. The app is available for iPhone or iPad.
An Android version of the app for the Google Play Store is in progress with deployment slated for midyear.
All of the information found in the app can still be found on any device with Internet access via the Diocese of Greensburg website at www.diocesesofgreensburg.org.

Real estate attorneys deal with the many laws and practice areas associated with land ownership issues. For example, a commercial real estate attorney knows which laws apply to commercial transactions for construction/development projects (such as condo construction), or land use/zoning projects (such as subdividing a parcel of land for development), or real property issues (such as financing a large land purchase). Likewise, residential real estate lawyers help you buy a home, or prevent you from losing your home in foreclosure. They also know how residential tenancy laws work and can advise you of your rights as a tenant. With so many types of real estate attorneys, it is important to find a specialist who does the work you need.

The animal on the cover of Java in a Nutshell, Sixth Edition, is a Javan tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica), a subspecies unique to the island of Java. Although this tiger's genetic isolation once presented an unrivaled opportunity to biologists and other researchers, the subspecies has all but disappearead in the wake of human encroachment on its habitat: in a worst-case scenario for the tiger, Java developed into the most densely populated island on Earth, and awareness of the Javan tiger's precarious position apparently came too late to secure the animal's survival even in captivity.
The last confirmed sighting of the tiger occurred in 1976, and it was declared extinct by the World Wildlife Fund in 1994. However, reports of sightings around Meru Betiri National Park in East Java and in the Muria mountain range persist. Camera traps have been used as recently as 2012 in efforts to verify the Javan tiger's continued existence.

from Portland, OR
Maintaining and good balance between tutorial and reference styles, this book gives the reader a good, bottom-up view of Java. The basics are covered completely and the meatier stuff (lambdas, regexs, etc.) at introduced with references to other works to fill in the details. Along with Effective Java (Bloch), this is a must read.

I teach Java at a Community College so I'm always looking for good reference material for my students. The style of this book is quite approachable but also fairly complete in its exposition.Only the beginning chapters were currently available and I am still reading Chapter 2. But I like what I see.There does need to be quite a bit of editing done on this book because I found many mistakes in typography as well as program code. I'm hoping that this situation will improve in future updates of the book

What Nestle doesn't want you to know about its plans to open a water bottling plant in Sacramento
* Nestlé and the City of Sacramento worked hard to quietly fast-track this project so Nestlé could open its South Sacramento bottling plant by January 2010. The project was only announced in a brief back page article in the Sacramento Bee at the end of July.
* While Sacramento residents are required to abide by city-imposed water restrictions, Nestlé would be able to siphon water from our municipal water supply 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. According to one staff member at the Economic Development Department, the only limit on the amount of water Nestlé can pump is the size of their pipes.
* Nestlé claims the Sacramento plant would be a "micro-bottling plant," bottling only 50 million gallons of water per year. However, according to the Department of Utilities, the estimated water usage is 215 thousand – 320 thousand gallons of water per day (78 – 116 millions per year). This would make Nestlé one of the top ten water users in Sacramento at a time when we are in our third consecutive year of a drought.
* According to Nestlé, approximately 30 million gallons of water would come from Sacramento's municipal water system and 20 million would be trucked to the plant from "private springs." City staff have refused to answer questions about the springs and Nestlé has provided no information about their location, other than telling the Sacramento News & Review that they are somewhere in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
* Bottling 50 million gallons of water a year would create 800 million water bottles annually. It takes over 400,000 barrels of oil to produce that much plastic. Only 14% of plastic bottles get recycled – the rest end up not only in our landfills, but also in our forests, streams, and oceans.
* The diesel fuel required to truck 20 million gallons of water from the "nearby springs" to Sacramento and 800 million bottles across the state is enormous. Diesel truck emissions contain carbon dioxide and diesel soot, which both contribute to global warming. Diesel exhaust also contributes to air contamination, which is known to cause cancer and other health problems.
* Nestlé would take our tap water and sell it back to us after marking it up over 1,000 times what they paid for it. If Nestlé is allowed to build a water bottling plant in Sacramento, they can take as much water as they want, for as long as they want, without any limits or accountability.
* Water is becoming scarcer as the population grows and the drought continues. The water in Sacramento should be for the plants, animals and humans in this region to live on, not for big companies to amass enormous wealth. If Nestlé is allowed to build this plant, we give up even more control of our water for as long as that plant exists. The City says that Nestlé has a right to move here. Shouldn't Sacramentans have a right to a secure water supply?

Novelis plans to shut Brazilian smelter by year-end
NEW YORK Oct 16 (Reuters) - Novelis said on Thursday it will close its Ouro Preto aluminum smelter in Brazil, the latest casualty of high energy costs and low metal prices as the world's top rolled products maker focuses on downstream higher-value products.
The plant, which makes 18,000 tonnes per year of extrusion billet, will shut at the end of the year, it said. (Reporting by Josephine Mason; Editing by James Dalgleish)

Keeping Your Home Green from the Inside Out
After spending years planning and building the ecofriendly home of your dreams, the last thing you'd want to do is use toxic chemicals to keep your green home clean. Luckily, there are tried and true solutions you can use to keep your home but germ and fume free.
Dish Detergents
Chlorine is often included in several household cleaners, including dishwashing detergents, toilet bowl cleaners, and mildew removers. Breathing in these types of fumes can irritate the lungs and make it difficult for people who have heart conditions or chronic respiratory problems. These problems are made worse when the cleaning solutions are used in small areas such as bathrooms. Chlorine is also highly corrosive and capable of damaging the skin and eyes.
An alternative, homeowners can use liquid soaps and detergents to cut through grease. Liquid soap, which is made from fats and lye, is perfect for homeowners who have soft water and want to find an alternative to traditional cleaning detergents.
If you do have hard water, you can still reap some ecofriendly cleaning benefits by using a biodegradable dish detergent that is free of perfumes. Detergents are designed specifically not to react with hard water minerals and cause soap scum. You can find either of these products at health food stores or online at places such as True Foods Market.
Mold removers
Another problem homeowners face is mold. For serious mold problems, you might need to call consult with professional mold cleanup companies to see if you need a professional to handle your cleanup needs. If you have only a slight presence of mold you would like to eliminate, several essential oils have antiseptic properties that can be used to kill and disinfect mold.
Clove, lavender, grapefruit seed extract, and tea tree oil (which is an excellent natural fungicide) are naturally antiseptic, even though the might lack the EPA classification as such. For a natural mold remover, add 1 teaspoon of the essential oil of your choice to 2 cups of water into a spray bottle. (If you are using the grapefruit seed extract, add 20 drops of the oil to 1 quart of water.) Make sure to properly label any spray bottles and keep out of young hands.
Oven Cleaners
As an alternative to the traditional oven cleaners that use powerful chemicals and often have nasty fumes, there are some household remedies you can use to cut down on powerful grease. Sprinkle some baking soda on tough oven stains and add water until the area is very moist. Leave the mixture to sit on the area for at least 20 minutes or as long as overnight for tough stains. You can also purchase Arm & Hammer Oven Cleaner, which was declared nontoxic by Consumers Union.
Countertop and Window Cleaners
The glass and countertop cleaners you find in the grocery store often contain ammonia, which can irritate the nose and throat when inhaled. People often build up an immunity to ammonia to the point where lower concentrations of the chemical can go undetected, thus exposing people to its harmful side effects without realizing it. High concentrations of the chemical might cause skin burns, eye damage, or even permanent blindness.
For a safer surface cleaner, you can create a mixture of 4 parts water and 1 part vinegar and place into a spray bottle. It might be best to spray this mixture on a cotton rag when cleaning surfaces that might be damaged by excess water. When using this solution, be sure to avoid spraying directly on wood trim or unprotected surfaces.
If you are looking for something that is less likely to cause streaking, you can combine ¼ cup vinegar, ½ teaspoon liquid soap (the ecofriendly kind mentioned above is preferred) and 2 cups of water. This mixture is good for windows that might have product or wax buildup after using commercial products for several years.

US Gov't Moves to Lower Tailpipe Pollution
Date: 12-Feb-07
Country: US
Author: US Gov't Moves to Lower Tailpipe Pollution
The regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency lower benzene in gasoline, reduce exhaust emissions from cars in cold temperatures and tighten fuel containers to prevent the escape of harmful fumes.
The new standards take effect in 2011 for gasoline, 2010 for cars and 2009 for fuel cans.
Benzene, which has been found to cause cancer, is put in gasoline to reduce knocking.
When the new standards are fully implemented in 2030, they are expected to cut toxic emissions annually by 330,000 tons, including 61,000 tons of benzene, the EPA said.
As a result, passenger cars would spew 45 percent less benzene, gas cans would emit 78 percent less benzene and the gasoline would contain 37 percent less benzene overall.
It will cost industry about US$400 million to implement the regulations fully, but the health benefits from cleaner air should total about US$6 billion a year in 2030, the EPA said.
"Americans love their cars. By clearing the air from tons of fuel and exhaust pollution (we) are paving the road toward healthier drivers and a cleaner environment," said EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson.
Under the regulations, the agency said refiners beginning in 2011 would have to meet an annual benzene content standard of 0.62 percent by volume on all their gasoline, both reformulated and conventional. The current national benzene content of gasoline is 0.97 percent.
California would continue to follow more stringent standards for gasoline sold in the state.
Separately, the regulations would reduce non-methane hydrocarbon exhaust emissions from new passenger vehicles when they operate in temperatures of less than 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
The agency will also limit evaporating emissions from gas cans, like those that hold fuel for lawn and garden equipment. The EPA said it has worked closely with major gas can manufacturers and the new cans will have an inexpensive inner coating to comply with the new standards.
The group that represents state clean-air agencies welcomed the EPA regulations, saying almost every person in major metropolitan areas is exposed to unacceptably high levels of cancer-causing vehicle emissions and the new standards should "ensure more equitable health protection across the nation."

Chevy Unveils Two New Concepts Aimed At Millennials
PSFK reports live from the Detroit Auto show on new designs from the American auto maker that are intended to corner a younger, less car-crazy market.
This morning at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, Chevy debuted two new small car concepts aimed at younger buyers. The sporty Code 130R and Tru 140S were designed in part with feedback provided from younger drivers.
The red Code 13R is an updated take on Chevy's heritage styling. The four door coupe includes some performance features such as regenerative braking which captures electricity to reuse in hybrid mode.
The Tru 140S is billed as an "affordable exotic" inspired by the styling of italian sports cars.
GM has setup special kiosks to get feedback from young drivers to gauge interest in the concept for potential production.

Pros: aesthetics, tight abs, professional and attentive staff.
Cons: drains and abdominal muscles soreness (improving).
Personal goals: Eliminate the redundante skin and tighten the abdominal wall muscles as a result of losing 100 lbs post gastric bypass 7 years ago. Despite ongoing diet and exercise and a minituck a year ago; there were areas I was not happy with. I had a mini tuck about a year ago and felt very discontent about the results, the physician who did the procedure did not own up to correcting imperfections resulting from his lack of training and experience.
The outcome: Im very pleased with the results so far (three weeks post -op). Dr. Tholen and his team of professionals are great. I wish I had taken a bit more time researching the procedures and gone with a board certified specialist before undergoing the previous mini tuck. Although I went throught the discomfort and cost twice, it was worth the experience and results thus far.

Berlin, March 26, 2012
Berlin is an amazing city, also in terms of its museums and collections: more than 175 of them await you in the German capital city. The reason for this spread of such cultural institutions is not only the profound connexions of the German people with culture, but also the fact that Berlin is the result of the reunification of two cities, each of them having had its own cultural politics and institutions until the fall of the Wall (1989).
The Kulturforum is a big area containing several cultural facilities. It was projected back in the fiftees, to provide West Berlin with a significant space for its art collections, since the partition of the city had left the main museums and equipments on the eastern part. Close to Potsdamer Platz (subway U2 & S-Bahn), it gathers a number of buildings that regal your senses with valuable contents and outstanding architectures. Some of its facilities are specially interesting:
+ Gemäldegalerie: the museum devotes 7.000 m² to the European paintings of the centuries 13th till 18th, including masterpieces of Durero, Tiziano, Caravaggio and Rembrandt, amongst many others.
+ Neue Nationalgalerie: opened in 1968, the building was conceived by Mies van der Rohe. Its treasure is the art of the 20th century, with works of painters like Miró, Picasso, Kandinsky, Munch and Kokoschka. Cubism, Expressionism and Surrealism are here very present.
+ Philharmonie: seat of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Berlin, it has the best acoustic in Europe. Its 3.500 seats are distributed among the Großer Saal and the Kammermusiksaal.
+ Musikinstrumenten-Museum: it shows more than 3,000 musical instruments.
+ Neue Staatsbibliothek: opened in the late seventies, it is the "daughter" of the State Library located on Unter den Linden. Its interior can be seen in the film "The heaven over Berlin", a classic of the cinema "made in Germany" (click here).
The Long Night of the Museums
Note it down in your agendas: on August 25th, Berlin will celebrate a new edition of the Long Night of the Museums. Once again, tens of museums in the city will be open till 2AMm with a at reduced prices. You can keep yourself informed about the activities on Facebook and also Twitter.

Lincoln Park 's official opening was in October, 1905. Its area predecessor had been Oak Ridge Park, developed in the 1860's after the Springfield City Railway Company purchased a small amount of land for a streetcar stop. Oak Ridge Park eventually grew to 12 acres. By 1900, the Pleasure Driveway and Park District formed. As the District began researching potential city park sites, one of the favored sites was the "Carpenter Tract", just north of Oak Ridge Park and east of Oak Ridge Cemetery. There were opponents to the site due to the proximity of the Cemetery, and they favored an area north of the Illinois State Fairgrounds instead. In the end, the "Carpenter Tract" was selected because it was within walking distance of the City's center. The combined Carpenter Tract and Oak Ridge Park eventually became " North Park", to be renamed Lincoln Park in 1905.
The crown jewel of Lincoln Park is its historic, magnificent bridge. The bridge was constructed in the summer of 1911 at a cost of $2,222.00. Four Grecian column lights adorned the bridge, but were removed in 1920 due to irreparable vandalism damage. Architect George H. Helmle designed the bridge and also the Lincoln Park Pavilion. J.S. Culver Stone Company did the stone veneer work.
In 1938, an additional 1.6 acres near Third St. and Black Ave. were annexed to the park.
The current residents of Springfield's north end find much delight in Lincoln Park, as did their ancestors. Today's park features 6 open public picnic areas and 1 shelter. There are two giant playground areas. Free tennis courts, horseshoe pits, and the newly popular disc golf are enjoyed by many.
The Nelson Center, home to Springfield's Junior Blues Hockey organization, offers two public skating rinks, skating lessons, hockey leagues and lessons, as well as figure skating. The Center's popular swimming pool is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day each year. Lincoln Park is also the location of FunShop, structured activities for children age 6 months to 5 years and their parents, and Camp Sunshine, a camp for mentally challenged youths from 8 to 25 years old. Summer Camp and Winter Camp are day-care alternatives for school-age children during the summer vacation and Christmas break each year.
Lincoln Park 's Pavilion, which holds 150 people, the Franklin Room at Nelson Center which holds up to 200 people and offers kitchen facilities, and the ice rinks are all available for rental.

Glass-floored Glacier Skywalk Provides Clear Views of Canadian Rockies
May 27, 2014
The Glacier Skywalk, a glass sidewalk cantilevered off a cliff 918 feet above the glaciers and pines of the Canadian Rockies, opened May 1 in Alberta, Canada. The $18 million skywalk, a fully accessible, semicircular, glass-floored observation platform supported by a steel structure jutting from native bedrock, offers spectacular views of the Sunwapta Valley, Columbia Icefield glaciers and the Canadian Rockies.
Glass partitions are all that come between visitors and the valley below, with little to obstruct the view through the glass floor. But, it's all stronger than it looks, said to be sturdy enough to support a landing Boeing 747. The Glacier Skywalk has already garnered environmental and design awards. Dedicated to a near-zero carbon footprint, the structure was designed using weathering steel, glass and wood.

Christopher Ferrara, in Liberty, the God That Failed, offers an entirely different answer. In a counter-narrative of unique power and scope, he unmasks the order promised as a sham; the liberty guaranteed, a chimera. In his telling, the false god of a new political order--Liberty--was born in thought long before America's founding, and gained increasing devotion as it slowly amassed power during the first century of the nation's existence. Today it reveals its full might, as we bear the weight of its oppressive decrees, and experience the emptiness of the secular order it imposes upon us.
The secular state has constructed a "myth of religious violence" to mask its own violent origins and ongoing displays of force. Ferrara destroys this myth with a relentless uncovering of truths hidden by both liberal and conservative/libertarian accounts of what has gone wrong. In this brilliant retelling of American history and political life, the author asks us to open our eyes to harsh realities, but also to the possibilities for a rightly ordered society and the true liberty that can still be ours.

In two weeks, players' game skills and wallets will be tested as the annual rush of fall video game releases begins.
There will be no shortage of fresh games and other accessories between Aug. 30 and the end of the year.
The change in season also brings a couple important questions in the video game industry. Here are some of them:
1. How does the fall of 2011 stack up to other years?
Before we can look ahead, we must look back at the handful of headliners showcased during fall release calendars of years past:
2007: Call of Duty 4, Halo 3, Assassin's Creed, Rock Band, Super Mario Galaxy
2008: World at War, Gears of War 2, Fallout 3, WoW: Wrath of the Lich King
2009: Modern Warfare 2, Borderlands, Uncharted 2, Left 4 Dead 2
2010: Black Ops, Medal of Honor, Fallout: New Vegas, Halo: Reach
In 2011, October and November alone include more Batman, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Uncharted, Assassin's Creed and Elder Scrolls, just to name a few.
"This holiday season is the busiest in recent memory for the game industry," says GameTrailers TV host Geoff Keighley. "It would be like the movie industry cramming all of its summer and holiday blockbusters into a one- to two-month period at the end of the year."
2. How will 3DS perform now that the price has been slashed?
In a surprise move last month, Nintendo slashed the price of its 3-D handheld from $250 to $170. Between that and a slate of releases that includes Mario Kart, Super Mario Bros. and Kid Icarus, the device could experience a rebound.
"At the end of the day it all comes down to content, and if Nintendo can deliver strong AAA video games for their 3DS platform this holiday season, sales should pick up substantially," says Electronic Entertainment Design and Research (EEDAR) analyst Jesse Divnich.
Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter expects solid sales for 3DS, but adds overall DS will decline because of "smartphones and the iPod Touch cutting into share and the threat of the (Sony PlayStation) Vita competing in a few months."
3. Can Call of Duty maintain its record-breaking pace?
With each successive release in Activision's Call of Duty library comes another sales record shattered.
Last year's release of Call of Duty: Black Ops sold 25 million copies to date. By comparison, 2009's Modern Warfare 2 has sold 22 million in its lifetime.
"That is shocking," says Pachter. "That is just a spectacular figure."
Nov. 8 ushers in the debut of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 from studio Infinity Ward. Expect the game's record-breaking streak to continue, says Divnich.
"After four consecutive years of breaking records, it has become a habit purchase for a lot of consumers," says Divnich. "Until quality declines, if ever, you can expect Call of Duty to continue to break entertainment records."
However, other experts believe the franchise's competition from rival publisher Electronic Arts could dampen those chances.
"It just can't," says Pachter on whether Call of Duty will shatter more sales records. "Battlefield 3 is going to take some share."
Adds G4's Adam Sessler: "I have a hard time thinking too many people are going to buy both of them. That is a lot of war game and no diversity in your catalog. And we know from what EA has been crowing about, they have a lot of preorders going on that."
4. Which of the fall blockbusters is most likely to disappoint?
It's hard to imagine, but some experts appear worried about the state of one of Nintendo's signature franchises.
"I do wonder about The Legend of Zelda (Skyward Sword)," says Sessler. "It doesn't have the usual fanboy craziness around it."
Blame the potential sales letdown for Skyward Sword -- the first Zelda console title in five years -- on the struggles of the Nintendo Wii, says Pachter.
"I haven't had anybody mention that there's a Zelda game coming out," he says. "It's like they just forgot."
Pachter suggests that Nintendo will pay the price for not launching a new system this holiday season. "The Wii has become an afterthought," he says.
5. Do good things really come in '3'?
The fall video game titles Gears of War, Resistance, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Saints Row, Uncharted, Battlefield, Just Dance (and possibly Diablo) are brought to us by the number "3."
That's a lot of sequels, so although 2011's fall schedule won't get points for originality, it will likely produce some really strong games.
"Unlike movies, video games tend to get better with each iteration, as developers have their characters, art and world already completed and can focus on refining story and gameplay," says Morgan Webb of G4. "Gears of War 3 will no doubt be the best game in the series, as will Resistance 3 and all the other sequels slated for fall/holiday release."
Mike Snider began covering the video game industry during the Super Nintendo-Sega Genesis clash in 1992. An original pinball wizard, he eventually was seduced by Robotron: 2084 and Tempest. These days he is a fan of action/shooters and lives out his Keith Moon fantasies playing a mean drum kit on music games. More about Mike.
Brett Molina has been writing about video games for USA TODAY since 2005. He is well-versed in Madden NFL, the fighting genre and first-person shooters. The first video game he played was Asteroids at a local arcade. He has been hooked ever since. More about Brett.

Olive Wood Bowls & Utensils
Olive trees produce, quite arguably, the highest quality of wood. The contrasting grains and warm, rich tones distinguish olive wood from all other woods. As it takes years for an olive tree to reach its full potential, large pieces of olive wood are difficult to find. Our olive wood products are uniquely carved from solid blocks of wood and are never glued or laminated. They are hand made by artisans with many years of experience, ensuring that each piece is unique and of the highest quality. To make your olive wood last, we suggest the piece be occasionally wiped/cured with olive oil, sunflower oil, foodsafe mineral oil or beeswax. We suggest that you should not use strong detergents to wash your olive wood, instead hand wash and rinse the pieces in warm water and leave them to dry in a vertical position. Do not soak olive wood or put it in the dishwasher. All of our Olive Wood products are handcrafted, so shapes and sizes may vary slightly. This is what makes each piece unique.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
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!
We have 2 kids and no property. We both want the divorce but neither have the money to pay for it.
It's not clear to me from this question where you're located. (Is 37748 the zip code - Harriman, TN?) I'm licensed to practice in Oregon and can't give specific advice about other states' laws. But most states have a procedure to waive filing fees, or at least to defer or break up payments, upon a showing of financial hardship. Many lawyers will also talk to you at least initially for free.
(Though pro bono services are not an absolute right. Please read this post before you ask about that: http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/where-can-i-get-a-pro-bono-lawyer--the-bar-sent-me-746495.html?ref=answer_question_serp_title_4 )
You can start by going to your local courthouse and asking if there's a family law help desk or at least a forms library. If you have a simple case - generally, that means, if you agree on most things - then you may not need a lawyer; if you can't agree, that's at least a starting point.
Nothing posted on this site is intended to create an attorney-client relationship. Each case is unique. You are advised to have counsel at all stages of any legal proceeding, and to speak with your own lawyer in private to get advice about your specific situation.

If you are in Georgia, you and your spouse can share the cost of filing an uncontested divorce (approximately $210 in most counties) and use the forms provided online for the County where you are located. It's not difficult to reach agreement if you have no assets but when it comes to children, there are a lot of additional concerns that have to be addressed that make hiring a lawyer very worthwhile. Some counties in Georgia, such as Cobb County, where I am located, offer free Family Workshops to help individuals who are not represented by an attorney prepare and file their own divorce. I strongly recommend you attend such a workshop or consider hiring an attorney for a limited engagement to advise you on what documents to file.Ask a similar question
Your location is not clear but most jurisdictions have programs which allow you to file your papers without an attorney, and many of them even show you how to do it. Some jurisdictions will also allow you to file a poverty affidavit and waive the filing fee.Ask a similar question

Helicopters will scramble to track the singer's entourage as it leaves his home, a scrum of reporters will hurtle into court, news will spread among fans that the moment of truth has arrived.
Frantic calls to news desks will be followed by an explosion of punditry, protagonists will be hounded, pre-prepared stories hastily amended, while the clamour will continue for days.
Somewhere beneath it all, the lives of the Jacksons and Arvizos will change forever.
If the trial itself has not captivated as it promised to, its climax surely will.
That, at least, is the expectation of the ranks of journalists waiting in Santa Maria.
For most, the time for hand-wringing over the reasons for being there, has - if it was ever present - gone.
Jostling for space
"People in the street will say they don't watch the coverage, then they will ask four questions about it," says Jim Avila, lead trial correspondent for ABC News.
"The fact is, people are watching it, the numbers show that. Yes we have devoted a lot of resources to it, but it is a competitive market.
"We have not covered it every day, we have exercised judgement. But when the story moves we are there and people want us to be there."
With the jury out, the atmosphere at Santa Maria courthouse is relaxed, yet liable to change with the buzzing of a pager.
Hacks may be preparing for an onslaught, but there is time for conversation and for some, to take souvenir photographs of what is a remarkable scene.
With dozens of television crews jostling for the best views of the courthouse, news organisations have designated, fenced-off spaces in the parking lot.
A row of canopies dominates, shading reporters and producers as well as cameras, computers and the mass of cabling underfoot.
There are at least a dozen satellite trucks in the car park behind the courthouse.
A nearby cafe, gift shop and even a swimming pool complex are now temporary offices.
Scaffolding towers or the roofs of adjacent buildings provide panoramic positions for live interviews.
'Courtroom and newsroom'
But pandemonium is never far away.
Joe Jackson, Michael's father, caused an ugly stampede when he arrived at court unannounced on Monday.
Vehicles leaving the singer's Neverland ranch send those staking out the gates scurrying to their cars.
In the relative calm before the storm, even the prospect of a fan releasing white doves in front of the courthouse is enough to generate a miniature whirlwind of activity.
"This has become a two-room trial," says the Rev Jesse Jackson, Michael Jackson's de facto spokesman, who is now making regular appearances in Santa Maria.
"You have the courtroom and the newsroom," he adds. "Michael's health problems are being discussed and his guilt or innocence debated."
America's freedom of speech laws allow the type of coverage alien to countries where discussion of court cases is outlawed to avoid prejudicing juries.
'American oddness'
Votes are being taken on the verdict, reporters are filming at the jail where Jackson could serve time if he is found guilty, and pundits are even analysing the jurors' clothes for clues to how they are minded.
The whole spectacle has become a sociology professor's dream.
Theorists are already writing about the trial as a "post-modern" concept.
Professor Toby Miller, of the University of California Riverside's cultural studies department, told the BBC: "What you are seeing played out in very public form is the tragedy of a psyche and the tragedy of an empire."
But he also alluded to the core reasons this trial is so followed.
"Internationally he [Jackson] remains a big name around the world. But he also represents the oddness of the United States around the world."
It was a view echoed by Japanese journalist Shingo Horie, a producer for Fuji Television.
"There are a lot of crazy things that go on in California," he said.
"We worked hard on Arnold Schwarzenegger's election campaign. But this is the craziest yet."
Fuji's eight-strong crew has been in Santa Maria since 2003, and like many veterans of the Jackson trial, is glad to see an end in sight.
"There is still a lot of interest in Michael Jackson in Japan. We have been here since Neverland was raided," Horie added.
"But to be honest, I think we are all getting a bit jaded."

PayPal Galactic Aims To Create A New Currency For Space
With an increasing interest in space tourism, the virtual payment program seeks to address potential monetary issues.
In the next five years, space is going to be the tourist destination, where people go to see and be seen. With flights on Virgin Galactic selling for$200,000 a ticket and talks of an orbiting space hotel by 2016, Outer Space is the place to be. But it is not obvious how tourists will do what they do best when they get there — spend money. The issue of currency or any monetary system has yet to be figured out and so PayPal has launched Paypal Galactic to do just that. The e-commerce business is collaborating with SETI Institute and the Space Tourism Society, to determine how money will work out in the cosmos.
PayPal Galactic is not a service you can use right now if you're planning a trip to space, rather it is an initiative amongst leaders in the space industry to discuss a range of topic about space commerce. From what monetary currency will be used to how banks, regulations and risk management systems might have to adapt, the Galactic Initiave is looking for solutions now, so when space travel is the norm, issues don't arise. PayPal's President David Marcus commented:
As space tourism programs are opening space travel to 'the rest of us' this drives questions about the commercialization of space. We may not answer these questions today or even this year, but one thing is clear, we won't be using cash in space.
With space tourism taking off, and predicted to be a $1 billion industry within the next ten years, PayPal has perfectly timed their initiative to be the frontrunner in managing people's cosmic currency needs.

MLB: Mariners, Smoak agree to terms
PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) — The Seattle Mariners and first baseman Justin Smoak have avoided arbitration by agreeing on a contract for the 2014 season with a club option for 2015.
The Mariners announced Smoak's new deal on Saturday. Smoak will earn $2,637,500 this season and $3.65 million next season if the option is picked up. He was Seattle's last arbitration eligible player.
With the moves to acquire Corey Hart and Logan Morrison in the offseason, Smoak's time at first base could be significantly reduced if he isn't a consistent performer at the plate.
Smoak, 27, hit a career-high 20 homers last season, but batted just .238. He improved after a stint on the disabled list in June, raising his average to .274 in early August before a swoon over the final six weeks of the season.
Angels' Mulder tears Achilles
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Los Angeles Angels pitcher Mark Mulder tore his left Achilles tendon Saturday, cutting short his comeback and possibly bringing his career to an end.
Mulder last pitched in the majors in 2008 for St. Louis. The 36-year-old left-hander was hoping to make the Angels' rotation after being invited in January to spring training, but team spokesman Eric Kay said Mulder felt a pop during agility drills.
Mulder will wait for the swelling to go down before surgery is scheduled. He then faces a six- to eight-month recovery, meaning his career could be over.
Mulder won 103 games over nine major league seasons with Oakland and St. Louis, including a 21-win season in 2001.
He struggled with arm injuries and had surgery over his final two campaigns with the Cardinals, throwing his most recent major league pitch on July 9, 2008.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The Bruins (34-29-12) hit the road this evening to finish up a back-to-back set of games, facing off against the New Jersey Devils (44-26-5).
Like last night's opponent, Buffalo, who handed the B's a crushing 3-2 home loss, New Jersey also has already clinched a playoff spot. They did so with a win Saturday over the Canadiens in Montreal, which the Devils immediately followed up with probably their worst outing of the year, a 5-1 defeat to the Flyers. The five goals given up matched a season high for New Jersey. The Devils will surely be looking to right the ship after a very lackluster performance.
Time to dig in deep and check out a few pre-game notes before they drop the puck this evening…

Firefighters rushed to a two-alarm blaze early Friday morning that heavily damaged a home in West Jordan.
Residents escaped unharmed from the fire at 7529 S. 4950 West, but the flames, smoke and subsequent water damage to the house, its attached garage and two vehicles parked inside reportedly topped $175,000.
West Jordan Fire Chief Marc McElreath said the first alarm was called about 4 a.m., after a man and woman living in the home heard popping noises, investigated, saw their garage aflame and called 911.
At 4:17 a.m., responding West Jordan fire crews called the second alarm as the fire spread into the attached home's attic.
McElreath said it took about 30 minutes to knock down the fire. No injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire was under investigation, but it did appear to have begun in the garage and then spread into the home's attic.

So I have had my 04 WRX STi for about 7 months now and I love it. But lately I have been having some issues with it.
Most recently the check engine light came on, along with a blinking "Cruise" light and the car would die at idle. this has since went away on my trip to auto zone to read the code. Ive been thinking my MAF sensor is going out but honestly have no idea?
there's also a smell of burning rubber and or plastic coming from the engine through the vents but no matter how hard I've looked through the engine compartment, i can not find the source.
also various squeaks and clunks from the suspension and brakes.
I bought this car with none of these issues, I didn't want a fixer upper and have no idea how to fix them, any advice?

Front-yard strawberry patch
Scrapping the front lawn comes naturally to Calvin Abe. "My garden is about exploring ideas," says the L.A. landscape architect, who has used the spot to experiment with everything from native plants to Mediterranean ones over the years. His latest endeavor: a front-yard strawberry patch, which was inspired by his childhood growing up on his grandfather's farm outside Sacramento. "I remember the smell of the berries, the scent of the earth they grew in," he says. "And how—for a treat—my grandfather would serve me fresh berries over homemade ice cream."
The front yard may seem an unlikely spot for a strawberry patch, but it made perfect sense to Abe. The space was sunny and big enough for strawberries, and the plants—pretty, green, and neat—would look great in front of his Westchester neighborhood house. So he cleared and leveled the slightly sloped yard, mail-ordered bare-root plants, and started planting.

Google App Engine Device Cloud Client
From Digi Developer
(Redirected from Google App Engine iDigi Client)
The Google App Engine Device Cloud Client is one example of a client application that uses Web Service (XML) communication to a Digi gateway using Device Cloud. It is deployed to a Google Appspot account and runs on the servers provided by Google. The advantage of this hosted service is that there is no server infrastructure needed at the customer and applications can run 24/7 on the Google servers, making it an ideal solution if continuous sensor readings are required, e.g. for daily/weekly statistics of sensor data, displayed to the users in form of graphs accessible over the web:
- Digi ConnectPortX ZB Gateway, Digi ZB Wall Router and one embedded XBee ZB module on development board. Recommended kits that include these pieces are
- Digi Python Development Environment (Digi ESP) to be able to create and build DIA projects and execute them on the gateway
- Python 2.5
- Google App Engine SDK for Python (requires a Google Appspot account)
- Create DIA project that includes drivers at least for the Digi Wall Router and the XBee ZB module on development board. Device names should be xbr0 for the wall router and xbib0 for the development board. In addition to the drivers it is mandatory that the DIA project includes the RCI Handler presentation to enable the gateway to talk to the Device Cloud. Optional the Embedded Web presentation can be included for local tests.

Two breakout players drafted by Zduriencik topped the organization in a very successful statistical season for many prospects for the Mariners in 2011. SeattleClubhouse alreadt covered the statistical leaders in hitting and pitching, and these two players' names appear throughout.
3B/OF Vinnie Catricala, a 2009 draftee out of the University of Hawaii in the 10th round, was named the organization's Player of the Year. Catricala built on the success he had in his first two seasons in pro ball by taking his performance to the next level in 2011. The 23-year-old right-handed batter hit .349/.421/.601 in 133 games split between the High-A High Desert Mavericks of the California League and Double-A Jackson of the Southern League. Among full season minor leaguers he ranked 2nd in extra-base hits (77), 3rd in hits (182), t-3rd in doubles (48), t-4th in batting average and t-9th in RBI (106).
"Vinnie had an outstanding offensive season combined between High Desert and Jackson," Zduriencik said. "He not only led the organization in many offensive categories, but was one of the top players in all of the minor leagues.
Starting Pitcher Taijuan Walker pitched his entire season in the Midwest League for the Clinton Lumber Kings as an 18-year-old and was named the league's top prospect by Baseball America. The 43rd pick in the 2010 draft by Seattle limited opponents to a .202 average, including a .187 (34 for 182) against right-handed batters. He ended the season with a 2.89 ERA (2.70 FIP), 1.12 WHIP and 10.5 SO/9 in 96 2/3 innings in his first full season of work.
"Taijuan had a great year in Clinton", Zduriencik said. "He had great command of the ball and was one of the most dominating pitchers in the Midwest League."

I've spent the last couple of weeks introducing you to the ministry of Divorce Ministry 4 Kids. I've touched a little on who I am, but it seemed appropriate with our official launch coming up next Monday, August 1, 2011 to spend a little more time telling you who I am.
I am, first and foremost, a sinner saved by grace. I will save that testimony for another time, but if you are really interested you can find it here.
I am married to Tricia and the father of four kids: Joshua (18), Jacob (10), Lyndsey (8) and Nathan (4). God has worked through my relationships with my wife and kids to teach more about Him than possibly any other method.
Now, a little bit about me and my background! I did not grow up in church – far from it. When I was a child, we used to attend a Catholic Mass once a year at Christmastime, but that was about the extent of my exposure to God. After my daughter (my third child) was born some friends invited me to their church. They had actually invited me previously, but that was when I finally took them up on the offer. I felt like I owed it to my kids to check out this whole God thing. So, I accepted their invitation, and I started to read. I started to read the Bible and I started to read anything I could get my hands on about the Bible. Through that and the church I was attending at the time, God drew me into his kingdom when I was 30 years old.
A year or so later there was a need to fill a spot in the two-year-old room, and I had a nagging small group leader, so I volunteered. That year, I fell in head-over-heals in love with working with God's kids. The following year, the need was in the 2nd grade room, so I moved up and agreed to start doing some of the large group teaching. What started as a once-a-month commitment quickly became an almost every week schedule and a daily pursuit, and God showed me the joy of teaching His Kids about him.
After that, due to some other circumstances in my life, my family and I changed churches, and I was out of Children's Ministry for about a year-and-a-half. It was during that time that I really felt God's tug on my life and realized that working in children's ministry was not just something that I was doing to fill a need but something that He had called me to do. I couldn't be happier about that calling! Since that time, I have immersed myself in the world of children's ministry.
In addition to the call to teach children about God, I felt like God was calling me to encourage and equip others who work with children. A couple of years ago, I started blogging about my family and my work in children's ministry at a blog called Dad in the Middle. I started the blog to collect my thoughts and write about the things I am passionate about in my life – those being God, My Family and children's ministry. I won't go into details on the name of the blog, but you can find more about it on the About page of the website.
In the summer of 2010, I felt called by God to start another blog whose aim was to provide a new voice in the world of children's ministry blogging. That blog, called Kidmin1124, is a children's ministry blog written entirely from the perspective of volunteer and bi-vocational children's ministers. Kidmin1124 was born out of a vision for a community that would equip volunteers and those who lead them to more effectively serve the kids in their ministries. As I began to interact more and more online with people in children's ministry, I learned something about them that really shocked me. There were a ton of them out there just like me – people who hold down a regular job and then volunteer in the children's ministry of their local church. As a group, these people are no less passionate about reaching kids with the Gospel of Christ than those who work in full time ministry, and I wanted to give them an outlet.
So, you ask (or don't – I'm still going to answer), how do you get from volunteering in children's ministry and running a couple of blog to equip children's ministry workers to starting a ministry about Children of Divorce? I once went to a presentation done by a friend of mine named Amy Fenton Lee who is a leader in the world of special needs ministry. She began that presentation with introducing herself by starting with what she was not. That seems appropriate for me in this context as well.
I am not a child of divorce. I have not been divorced, and prior to this endeavor, I have not been involved specifically in ministry to divorced children. For those reasons, it was a bit of a surprise to me when God laid this ministry on my heart almost two years ago, and I largely ignored his call for about a year-and-a-half. Let me explain.
Almost two years ago, or so, I was listening to a radio broadcast about the health of marriages in America. I was struck both by the extent of the issues and the general failure of the church to do anything about it (evidenced by the fact that the divorce rate amongst Christians is about the same as the rest of the country). I didn't think a whole lot about it for a while, but I continued to have this nagging feeling (it is clear to me in retrospect that it was God) what I should do some more research into the issue. I did a little reading online, but I largely ignored that feeling for a while and went about my other business.
One thought continued to nag at me the whole time. It had to do with what I have come to call "The Myth of Divorce." That is the popularly held notion that kids will be better off with divorced parents than with married parents who don't get along. Last December, I was doing my daily Bible reading, and I was struck by several verses in Malachi. I'm sure you are familiar with them, but what struck me was not that God hates divorce (something most
people point to in these verses), but that right there in Malachi God gives us a glimpse as to why divorce is so harmful. I wrote an article about it on Dad in the Middle. If you'll indulge me, here was my conclusion:
"When we get divorced, we are essentially telling God that his plan is insufficient for our lives. It was the next statement that really struck me though as a Dad and as someone who works with kids. Why did God create marriage as a covenant between himself a man and a woman? Why does God meld them into one? What is the ultimate outcome that God desires? What does God seek in the marriage covenant? He seeks Godly offspring. God has ordained marriage as a union in which a man and a woman pass along spiritual truth to their children. Verses like Deuteronomy 6 make that clear. So, when we divorce we interfere with God's plan for transmitting his truth from generation to generation. Despite all the cultural pressure that lies to us and says "kids will be better off with two happy parents who aren't fighting than two married parents who fight," it is clear that God says the best place for a child is with both of his parents. When it comes to issues like marriage and divorce, it is high time that we started to listen to the truth of scripture rather than the lies of the enemy."
Writing that article really sparked a renewed interest in me regarding this whole issue of divorce, and I finally understood why God had laid this issue on my heart. He was talking to me about the kids. It really focused my research, and I began to read anything I could get my hand on related to effects of divorce on children. I started to compile statistics and
articles and testimonials all of which supported the notion that divorce impacts every child and can have long lasting negative impacts. In short, these kids need help, and why shouldn't the church step up to help them? We are commanded in scripture numerous times to take care of the widows and the fatherless. I believe that these kids (some literally, others figuratively) fall into that category.
Something else struck me as I was reading about the impact of divorce on children. I came across a finding in several places that children of divorce experience worse grief than those who lose a parent. God, as he often does, clarified things for me once again. When I was six, my mother died. I know first-hand what it is like to lose a parent. To understand that over 1,000,000 children a year experience worse grief than I did when my mother died brought me to tears. Quite honestly, I can't ever remember having a deeper and more profound grief for something I never personally experienced than I did in that moment. So, while I didn't grow up in a divorced home, I do know what it is like to grow up in a single-parent home. I do know what it is like to have a step-parent and deal with the issues that entails. I lived that part first hand. God slapped me upside the head with what should have been obvious to me in the first place, he laid this on my heart because:
- He cares for these kids.
- I love working with kids.
- I do have some personal experiences which, while not identical, can help me to understand and empathize with these kids.
That moment of clarity led to more fogginess though I as try to sort out exactly what it is that God wanted me to do with this newfound burden He had given me. I spent more months researching and talking to people about the issue. I've read more articles and books than I can count, started reading a number of books on the topic, compiled statistics and quotes and links to articles and an outline of notes. At Kidmin1124, we have a bi-weekly radio show. A couple of months ago we dedicated one of the shows to helping volunteers minister to children of divorce. That show was so impactful to myself and some of our other guests that we decided to continue to topic on the next program. All of
that really just served to flame the fire that God had lit in my heart. It was then that I started to read up on programs like Divorce Care for Kids and other avenues for ministering to children of divorce.
About that same time, I set up a short survey for people who experienced the divorce of their parents as a child to fill out so I could get a first-hand glimpse into their world. That is when the reality of it all really hit home for me. Instead of statistics and findings and advice, I was reading first-hand accounts of the effect that the divorce of their parents had on people's lives. As I read those accounts from people now grown as they shared the wounds of their childhood as though they were still fresh, God broke my heart all over again, not only for them but also for kids currently going through the divorce of their
parents who really don't have a voice.
From there, God made it clear to me that my mission was not only to minister to the children of divorce in my own life, but to help others do the same and to call the church to minister to this segment of their congregations. I work with people in children's ministry every weekend and talk to scores more online who are are good hearted passionate people about ministering to children. My goal is not to tell them that they are doing anything wrong, but to equip them to serve the children of divorce who are already in their ministries better.
That's "a little" more about me. Probably more than you wanted to know. Stay tuned later this week for a special announcement about a regular guest writer for the site that you will not want to miss!

You guys know I love a party. Love them. So I want to share the love.
I came across this cute backdrop recently on the Twitter feed of My Sweet & Saucy. It is a such a statement and all it is made of is ribbon and scrapbook paper. Huge impact, really cheap.

[MLS: Week 1] Seattle earned three points with the winning goal in the 94th minute, while down the road Portland salvaged a draw at home with a goal in the 93rd minute only seconds after Real Salt Lake preserved a 1-0 win at the LA Galaxy when Nick Rimando saved Robbie Keane's penalty kick in stoppage time.
Chad Barrett, one of six players who made their Seattle debuts, scored in the 94th minute to give the Sounders a 1-0
win over Sporting KC. The goal was the sixth for Seattle against Sporting KC in the 90th minute or later in their last seven meetings.
VIDEO: Seattle-Sporting KC: Sounders leave it late
Philadelphia looked to have taken the three points in Portland, but Gaston Fernandez's goal after a corner kick was miscleared by a Union
defender earned the Timbers a 1-1 tie.
It was déjà vu all over again for the Galaxy, whose 2013 campaign was plagued by giving up late goals. Joao Plata put RSL ahead in the 80th minute at StubHub Center, and though Keane had a chance to rescue the Galaxy, he hit his penalty kick right at Rimando, who dove to his right.
Week 1 Braces:
Will Bruin (2nd, 13th minutes), HOU (4-0 vs. NE)
Federico Higuain (27th, 90th minutes), CLB (3-0 vs. DC)
Kenny Miller (34th, 77th minutes), VAN (4-1 vs. NY)
The Columbus Crew and Vancouver Whitecaps both won big under new coaches on the opening day of the 2014 MLS season.
The Crew got two goals from Federico Higuain as it beat D.C. United, 3-0, on the road in Gregg Berhalter's MLS coaching debut, while Kenny Miller had two goals for the 'Caps in a 4-1 win over visiting New York to mark Carl Robinson's start of his MLS coaching career. Uruguayan Sebastian Fernandez (set
up by Darren Mattocks) and Chilean Pedro Morales in their MLS debuts joined Miller in scoring excellent goals for Vancouver in a match it could have had seven
or eight goals.
Oscar Pareja, who moved from Colorado to FC Dallas in January, was also a winner in his new coaching position as Dallas beat Montreal, 3-2, in a match that
also featured Frank Klopas' first game with his new team.
