Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
A movie by Chris Columbus
With Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Kenneth Branagh, Richard Harris, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, and others
Monika says:
Summer at the Dursleys turns out once more to be an ordeal for Harry (Daniel Radcliffe). At the worst possible moment, Dobby the house elf calls on him uninvited and implores him not to go back to Hogwarts, because terrible things will soon be happening there. Luckily, Harry's friends Ron (Rupert Grint) and his twin brothers come to rescue Harry from being starved by the Dursleys, so he can spend the rest of his holidays at the Burrow. Going back to Hogwarts doesn't go well this time, though, and the two friends are nearly expelled. But much to the chagrin of Professor Snape (Alan Rickman) who would have loved to set an example, they aren't, at least not this time.
To top it all, strange things begin to happen in the castle. It all starts with Mrs Norris, Filch's cat, being found hanging petrified from the ceiling; someone has written in blood at the wall behind her, "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened". And this is only the beginning...
Everybody who loved the first Harry Potter movie will be even more pleased with this one. The script is following all major plotlines, even though you shouldn't expect every dialogue to be transcribed literally, and of course one has to make a few concessions. A book can't be transferred to the big screen word by word, although Columbus has already been accused of his adaptations being "bloodless" because they purportedly follow the books religiously. One thing is certain, Chamber of Secrets looks even better than Philosopher's Stone, especially considering the (inevitable) Quidditch game that looks more "real" than last time. The cast is more or less the same as in Philosopher's Stone, but just like in the books we meet a couple of new characters, some of them not only for the first, but possibly also for the last time.
People familiar with the books know that any Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher won't last long – Professor Lockhart, Quirrel's successor, is played by Kenneth Branagh who apparently doesn't find it difficult to slip into Lockhart's cloak after playing Shakespeare. The self-centered teacher who always thinks he is the greatest lightens the otherwise rather dark atmosphere of the movie and is always good for a laugh, even though most of the time he doesn't mean to be funny. If you are patient enough to sit through the entire credits, you'll be able to get a last – but not particularly flattering – glimpse of him.
Even though there were things about it I found a bit unsatisfying, I really liked Chamber of Secrets. After watching it two times in English, even the rather horrible German dubbing couldn't spoil it for me. We will see if Alfonso Cuarón, who will be directing Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, will direct better or worse than Chris Columbus. Alas, we will have to wait for the result until summer 2004, but since the long awaited fifth book of the series will be out in June 2003, we have something to look forward to this year, too.

Starting an eCommerce store requires effort, and it is pertinent to start off this eCommerce venture by chalking out a systematic business plan, and then moving forth in a step-by-step fashion. A holistic and practical business plan should encompass necessary facets, such as a good team that one can easily work along with, a time frame required for the start-up venture to flourish, the investment needed etc. Moreover, it is extremely important to jot down the various risk factors involved when starting up an online store, and different solutions to counter these factors.
5 Tips for Creating the Best About Us Page
In today's multi-device, micro-content frenzy, there aren't many opportunities for your audience to become thoroughly acquainted with your brand; an opportunity to really explain where you came from, and what you're about, so when one comes along you take it with both hands.
Your About Us page is this opportunity. Maybe it's a personal habit but whenever I come across a new website, a new potential provider for whichever service or product I'm after, I gravitate towards the About Us page. Nothing irritates me more than a site without one. It's like finally securing a meeting with a potential client but failing to introduce yourself upon their arrival. Not only does it clarify precisely what your business offers, but for many visitors their first impression of your brand will be formed upon reading this page. Make yours count following these five points.
You and I Collide: a PR and SEO Story
While many businesses, organizations, and individuals view PR and SEO as separate entities, they have become two sides of the same coin.
Public Relations (PR) is the practice of managing the spread of information between an individual or an organization and the public.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or webpage in a search engine's "natural" or unpaid "organic" search results.
These practices used to be very different. SEO was focused on broadcasting as many links as possible, and luring search engine bots into websites with little to no content. Now, search engine traffic is derived from content, HTML, and the exclusion of link spamming sites. Nowadays, PR and Search Engine Marketing (SEM) have become more alike than ever.
5 Quick Tips to Turn Up Your ROI at B2B Events
According to the Content Marketing Institute's benchmark report "B2B Content Marketing 2014," for the fourth year in a row B2B content marketers rate in-person events as the most effective tactic that they use.
3 Ways Companies Sabotage Event Success
Even though in-person events are considered the strongest tactic, many B2B marketers fail to maximize their success. If you've planned and orchestrated an event, you've probably confronted the following issues yourself.
Building Bridges: Why Cross-Platform Optimization is Essential for Brand Success
Understanding how consumers interact with their chosen brands across the many platforms available to them today is fundamental to effective marketing and customer service. Cross-platform optimization essentially refers to harnessing this behavioural information to provide a unified brand experience over all digital channels, whether that's web, mobile or social media.
In recent years, consumer technology has undergone some drastic advances. Whilst an initial technical revolution took place around the emergence of the internet itself, a second has been triggered by the recent progression in mobile technology. Christopher North, managing director of Amazon UK, commented, "I have never seen anything happen as fast as mobile."
And as the devices we use change all the time to become more varied and sophisticated, so too does the way that we choose to interact with them.

Feedback Frenzy: How to Get and Use Customer Reviews to Improve Your Business' Online Presence
Customer reviews can be incredibly useful for your business. Not only do they make your business come across as trustworthy and open, but they can also provide a number of SEO benefits to increase your visibility and boost conversions. The problem for many businesses is how to get more reviews. Here is a quick guide to some useful techniques.
Customer-Centric Sales: What Modern Retail Success is All About
Cloud computing isn't just for the 2000s anymore. The dot-coms of the 1990s paved the way for a new business model, even if it was a bit sloppy. Rudimentary cloud-based computing promised software in the cloud and provided simple word processors and video players. While that might be fine for the retail market, businesses' main concern is sales and consumer-grade products just don't cut it as "innovation."
How to Use Marketing Automation as a Powerful Sales Tool
Marketing Automation solutions are commonly seen as tools specifically designed to help marketing teams reduce operational inefficiencies and cost. But in reality, the biggest value of marketing automation is that they're a fantastic tool to improve both the quality and the quantity of leads for the sales team.
Let's explore some of the ways that marketing automation systems provide tangible benefits to sales organizations, and how they can have a direct and significant impact on driving revenue.

For such an historic change to the church, a two-thirds majority was required in all three Houses of the general synod.
Dr. Hiltz added that he was calling the attention of the general synod to the caravan plan.
Since 1871 the general synod has, from time to time, put forth other canons.
The second general synod decided to compile a special hymnal, and under its authority such a book was issued in 1864.
They held at Paris, in May, 1559, their first general synod; and eleven fully established churches sent deputies to it.
I am not aware that any censorship of the press has been authorized by general synod.
At the head of the whole organization is a general synod, sitting at Paris.
But, in 1881, a new proposal for altering the formula of subscription passed the general synod.
In our letter of 1856, to general synod, we called particular attention to the subject.
We also sent a communication to our Church, addressing it to general synod.

Ella will replace Radda Trattoria in north Boulder
Boulder will be getting a new upscale diner when Ella replaces Radda Trattoria in early June. Matt Jansen had opened the neighborhood Italian spot in the midst of north Boulder's low-rise sprawl seven years ago, but now it's reached the end of the line.
See also: First look at Sunny's, now open in Sunnyside
Not to be confused with Trattoria on Pearl, which closed last week, Radda Trattoria is now owned by Edwin Zoe and his mother, who also owns Zoe Ma Ma in downtown Boulder.
Edwin Zoe is planning to close Radda Trattoria at the end of May and reopen it in June as Ella, a traditional American diner. "I want people to come to Ella for their favorite classics, without feeling rushed or disappointed," he said in an announcement of his plans. "This will be elevated diner fare, and the fine-casual setting will encourage people to linger and enjoy themselves."
The restaurant will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner daily and will include a full bar.

You like toppings? How about them toppings?
Numbers don't always tell the story. But the digits for Michael Phelps are pretty impressive.
Barry Bonds has the numbers but people still think Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron were baseball's premier home run hitters.
If Tiger Woods wins five more majors there will still be people who assert that Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan or Bobby Jones is the greatest golfer of all-time.
MICHAEL PHELPS: Columnist says the gold not the number is his legacy
So a total of 19 medals – including 15 gold – doesn't automatically put Phelps ahead of Carl Lewis, Paavo Nurvi, Jim Thorpe, Al Oerter or Steve Redgrave.
And if you want to say that Jesse Owens winning four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Games while Adolph Hitler watched and fumed is the single greatest Olympic performance, who among us could argue?
But 19 and 15 are good medal totals, absurdly so.
Even for a guy who is treating medals like sundae toppings.
"The biggest thing that I've always said is anything is possible," Phelps said. "I have put my mind on doing something that nobody had ever done before, and there was nothing that was going to stand in my way of being the first Michael Phelps."
It is unfair sometimes to compare greatness, so here is the unfair question of the day: Is Phelps the greatest Summer Olympian of all-time?
While we listen to some national anthems, here is some good work by some good people that we might have missed while sleeping or picking winners and losers in the baseball trade deadline.

A Chinese company showed what it calls the world's first mobile phone to run Windows XP at the Computex exhibition in Taipei on Friday.
The xpPhone can wake Windows from standby mode to receive calls and text messages. It has a battery life of seven hours when not in standby mode, and with a larger battery it can run for 12 hours.

A customized chip from Advanced Micro Devices powers this mix of a mobile phone and a pocket-sized computer, which is made by In Technology in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou.
The device has a pull-out QWERTY keypad, a 120GB hard disk, and a 4.8-inch LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 800 by 480 pixels. It weighs 400 grams and is 2.5 centimeters thick. The xpPhone will support Wi-Fi, optional WiMax, GPS and next-generation mobile.
The xpPhone will go to market in China in about three months and later be marketed worldwide, said Brad Wu, vice president of In Technology. Later this year, In Technology will release a version that supports the China-developed 3G mobile standard that the country is currently trying to promote, TD-SCDMA (Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access).
The company declined to give details of the computer's microprocessor, which it called the "AMD Super Mobile," or how it will make phone calls from Windows XP.

Porne (πόρνη). A woman of loose character. There are a number of words in Greek and Latin to designate the harlot; Hetaera (ἑταίρα) and concubina usually implying one who has a quasi-recognized connection with a single man, while πόρνη, meretrix, scortum, etc., designate the common prostitute: Pallakis (παλλάκή, παλλακίς), and pellex usually imply the kept mistress of a married man.
In Greece the State not only tolerated but protected the public courtesans. Solon is said to have established a brothel (πορνεῖον) from whose profits he built a temple to Aphrodite Pandemos. In later times the number of such places increased and were licensed (πορνικὸν τέλος). Women living by themselves also paid a regular tax like the filles inscrites. The keepers of houses of ill-fame were known as πορνοβοσκοί. Private courtesans were very numerous at Athens and especially at Corinth, which last city was proverbial for its loose morals and the beauty of its hetaerae. Some of these persons were famous throughout Greece for their wit and accomplishments, and seem to have prided themselves on their mental gifts. Thus the Arcadian Lasthenea was a pupil of Plato, Leontion of Epicurus, and Aspasia is said to have instructed Sophocles and Pericles. For other famous courtesans, Laïs; Phryne.
As virtuous women in Greece (outside of Sparta and a few Dorian communities) were kept strictly at home and possessed few accomplishments, we find the hetaera occupying often the influential position which in modern times belongs to the lawful wife; and so long as the husband did not altogether neglect his wife, any associations that he might have outside his own home with hetaerae were not regarded with severity. It is probable that the indulgence with which women of this class were looked upon sprang in part from the semi-religious character of the prostitute as being associated with the worship of Aphrodite. At Corinth, for instance, a large number of these women were formally dedicated to the service of that goddess and were styled ἱερόδουλοι. Few citizens ever entered the ranks of the πορναί, and whenever such a case happened loss of citizenship was the penalty, as also for a person who kept a πορνεῖον.

"Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee." (Psalm 73:25)
Imagine that your grandmother has asked you to clean out her attic. You walk up to the top of the stairs and begin wading through old boxes and dusty furniture. You wonder what you should clean first.
Looking to your left, you see an antique trunk sitting in the corner. You walk over, lift the top, and peer inside. There, sitting on the bottom of the trunk, is an old brass oil lamp. You pick it up and gently rub the dust away.
All of a sudden, a genie pops out of the lamp! With a deep, booming voice, he says, "Tell me your one wish and I shall make it come true!" What would you wish for? What one thing do you desire most? If you could have anything in the world, what would you ask for?
The writer of Psalm 73 wrote that his greatest desire in life was God. The psalmist realized that God is everything that he needed--light, salvation, strength, protection, comfort, and joy. There is nothing he desires more than God. The psalmist looked around at what others have--wealth, possessions, or friends--and realized that without God, all of those things are as twigs burning in a fire.
When you want something more than God, you are worshipping an idol. Now, you probably do not have a golden statue in your house that you bow down to, but when you want or love something more than God, it is just as though you are bowing down to it and saying, "you are my god." The first commandment says that you should put nothing in front of God (Exodus 20:3). Instead, you are to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind (Deuteronomy 6:5).
What kinds of things are you tempted to put in front of God – TV, clothes, music, XBox, Playstation3, sports, shopping? You need to think about these things and ask God to take away those idols in your life so that He is your only desire. You increase your desire for God by reading His Word to learn more about Him and become more like Him. The more you know and learn about God, the more He will be your one desire. You want to be able to say with the psalmist, "there is nothing I want more than to know and love God."
You must desire God more than anything!
My Response: » Do I need to ask God's forgiveness for wanting something else more than Him? » What do I put in front of God? » What can I do to increase my desire for God?
"The more we know of God, the more unreservedly we will trust him."
John Gresham Machen was born into a wealthy, well-known family on July 28, 1881. His father was a lawyer and his mother was a writer, which meant John had every ability to "do something important" with his life. Woodrow Wilson, the twenty-eighth President of the United States, was a personal friend of the Machen family.
But God had even higher, better plans for J. Gresham Machen than just making him a "wealthy man." God chose Machen to serve Him – making this service the "something important" Machen chose to do with his life. He studied the Bible, and by age 12, he had already gained more knowledge of Scripture than many men have learned when they finish seminary studies. Machen continued to grow up, and he attended the best schools in the world to learn as much as he could about God and the Bible.
In 1914, Machen was ordained to preach. Soon he found himself engaged in one of the most important battles in Christian history. He was not involved in a physical war – although World War I had begun. Rather, he was involved in the battle over the essential doctrines of the Christian faith. Machen opposed the worldly religions and opinions of that day and age, ungodly systems of teaching that taught that people did not need a personal relationship with Jesus Christ in order to be Christians. Machen also opposed so-called Christians who were living in known sin and acting just like unsaved people.
Machen started Westminster Seminary (in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). Even though he was offered many important jobs that could have made him very popular, he refused them because those positions would not have helped him to honor Jesus Christ. He chose instead to defend the faith and to do what he believed was right – no matter what!
How old do you need to be before you really start studying the Bible? Machen believed children were not too young. He was only 12, after all, when God began to use him and his knowledge of Bible teachings in a wonderful way! It is never too early for you to begin learning God's truth – and you are going to need a good foundation of His truth if you want to be strong enough to fight spiritual battles and stay faithful when false teaching comes up against God!
Luke 12: 34 – "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
El Nose' – The God Who Forgave
Psalm 99:8 – "Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions."
No, we cannot. Romans 10:17 – "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." [In other words, we cannot know God unless we put our faith in His Word.]
Salvation is the deliverance from sin and from the penalties of sin. The word "salvation" was used in the book of Genesis as Jacob was talking to his sons. In Genesis 49:18, Jacob says, "I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord." (Acts 4:12) "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name (Jesus) under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."

In the latest chapter Naruto has been shown training his Sage Mode. In Sage Mode Naruto has been shown being well versed in Taijutsu. Naruto has only two move with his element, wind, being Wind Release:Rasengan and Wind Releas:Rasenshuriken. I feel Naruto has to train more with his wind element especially if he is fighting Sasuke some day soon. In a couple of chapter covers it has been foreshadowed that Naruto will learn how to use a sword, and lately alot of powerful shinobi have been shown using a sword, most importantly the Cloud Ninja. I have read a post or two that says Itachi's Gift to Naruto is a sword, i feel that Naruto will get a sword from Myōbokuzan. Then Naruto can apply his wind element to the sword to match Sasuke's Lightning Sword Tech. If not that he needs another way to use his Wind Element more effectively for he cant use Rasenshuriken unless he is in sage mode otherwise it cuts his chakra system. My next possibilty is for Naruto to wear gloves like Kakashi except insted of steel be made of Chakra Element Metal, whatever Asuma's trench knive's were, and use them to increas the power behind his punches.
My pont is Naruto nedds some new Wind Techs

These work well for grinding grains because the blades of the machine are usually very sharp. Basically this tool has an opening in which you put the grains and start rotating the handle that crushes the grains. The electronic ones do not have a handle and automatically grinds the grain by pushing a button. Grain mills come in two standard models which include; the manual one and electronic.
Meat Grinder are also known as mincers which are appliances that help chop meat, chicken, fish and other related food items. Instead of chopping everything by hand, this machine makes it possible to do the same task quicker. Whether you are getting a manual one or electronic one, every type of meat grinder has a funnel in which the meat is placed. Then by using a handle or electric motor, the meat is minced by a blade inside the funnel. As soon as the meat is minced, it comes out from another opening and is ready to be used.
These are used to grind different type of spice seeds into powder. The manual ones consist of a mortar and pestle which is usually made from metal or stone. The spice seeds are placed inside the mortar which is in shape of a bowl, then use the pestle to get the desired consistency you want. In the modern world, people are fonder of electric food grinders. Just like that you can get an electric spice grinder which will turn the seeds into powder within seconds.

Manila (AFP) Feb 28, 2013
The mating rituals of two captive Philippine eagles are being broadcast live over the Internet to rally global support for saving of the world's rarest and biggest raptors, conservationists said Thursday.
Livestreaming the pair gives a global Internet audience a rare insight into the courtship, mating and chick-rearing habits of the birds, which could soon become extinct, said Philippine Eagle Foundation spokesman Rolando Pinsoy.
"This will give everyone a chance to learn more about this species and understand why we have to save them," Pinsoy told AFP.
Customarily, the female lays a single egg in November or December and the chick hatches a month later, he said.
In a project backed by the US-based Raptor Resource Project and the Internet videosharing site Ustream.tv, the pair can now be viewed 24 hours a day over the next 12 months at http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/29615691
"Even for biologists, there is so much more that we need to learn about this species," Pinsoy said.
The Philippine eagle, or Pithecophaga jefferyi, is the world's largest eagle in terms of length. It is found only in the country's vanishing forests, where hunting, logging and land conversion all threaten its survival.
The bird, with a distinctive shaggy and cream-coloured crest, grows to up to 3.35 feet (one metre) in length with a wing span of up to seven feet.
According to the foundation and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, there are only about between 180 to 500 pairs in the wild.
The two eagles involved in the livestreaming project have both been rescued from hunters, rehabilitated and paired, Pinsoy said.
They have regularly been producing chicks for the foundation's captive breeding programme near the southern city of Davao, he added.

text: Australasia 28 March 2008 Euthanasia, censorship and NZ Paul Evans reports on strict laws in New Zealand censoring what citizens there can read and argues t By Paul Evans Sign up for our weekly email * When Dr Philip Nitschke arrived at Auckland airport at the end of January, he was promptly detained by customs officials. Copies of his book, The Peaceful Pill Handbook, were seized. A prominent pro-euthanasia campaigner, he was suspected of carrying a publication proscribed under New Zealand's censorship laws. New Zealand's government keeps books it regards as dangerous off the shelves, and in recent years has prevented the entry into the country of controversial speakers, including the holocaust denier David Irving. But the impact of this censorial tendency in public life is increasingly a source of rancour. In 1994 the New Zealand government established the affable sounding Office of Film and Literature Classification, tasked with inspecting material for public suitability. Its remit includes paintings, t-shirts and jigsaws puzzles - and it carries the power to restrict or ban publications deemed not 'in the public good'. The national Chief Censor, Bill Hastings, last year classified the content of Nitschke's book, which includes details of how to prepare a barbiturate, as "objectionable". Currently, some 1341 books are classed in this way, and the penalty for distributing prohibited literature is up to a decade imprisonment. Hoping to persuade Hastings to reconsider the book's status, Nitschke brought an amended version, with pre-agreed offending passages blacked out. "It looked almost comic," he observes, "though it does make the point of what censorship does to the written word." Despite making the requested changes, he was detained for over two hours, and had his rights read – though he was not ultimately arrested. While the book may be banned, it can be read in full by anyone with access to the internet, rendering the ban effectively redundant in a country where over three-quarters of the population is online. New Zealanders might acquiesce to protection from dangerous ideas, but few seem to regard the inability of lawmakers to take a joke as grounds to restrict expression. Scoffs echoed across the country last summer when a committee voted to forbid the use of parliamentary footage in contexts which denigrate or ridicule MPs. Only the Green party objected to what became known as the satire ban, though polling suggested that 71% of citizens disapproved of the measure. The future of free expression seems mixed. The turn of the year saw two significant items of legislation come into effect. Enthusiasts for free speech greeted with small cheers the overturning of sedition laws, controversially invoked in recent years, most recently to charge a garage owner for promoting a competition in which the prize was a petrol-soaked sofa. But the freshly implemented Electoral Finance Act has been interpreted in some quarters as a further erosion of free speech. While it introduces a widely demanded degree of transparency to campaign finance, its sprawling regulatory mandate is provoking the ire of campaign groups and civil libertarians alike. Thousands marched in Auckland to oppose the act, which limits the ability of groups to campaign during an election year. Organisations not known for their militancy, including the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society, expressed deep concern at the restrictions now placed on their right to produce voter guides and pamphlets. 'Kill the Bill' campaign spokesman David Farrar is angered by the broad interpretation of 'electoral advertisement' under the act. "It includes emails, websites (though blogs are exempt), online videos, protest placards, cartoons, posts to internet newsgroups and even theatre performance," he complains. Farrar regards the act as indicative of a wider trend towards the regulation of opinionated expression, arguing: "this is part of an ongoing assault on free speech in New Zealand. For example, when newspapers published the Danish cartoons of Mohammed, they were attacked by the prime minister and summoned to a meeting with the Human Rights Commission." The momentum of criticism has not slowed. The right-leaning New Zealand Herald recently hit back angrily at claims by both prime minister Helen Clark and her husband that its editorials against the Electoral Finance Act amounted to mischief-making. Clark also rejected its comparisons with neighbouring Fiji, where the government recently deported a leading newspaper publisher, saying: "no one's talking about deporting the editor of the New Zealand Herald for goodness sake." But Philip Nitschke concurs with Farrar that New Zealand is suffering from a creeping reliance on censorship. "I'm constantly interested in American reactions to our moves in this direction," he says, "they are amazed." Any tendency among New Zealand politicians to compromise public discourse does not appear limited to either the right or left. The conservative National Party opposed limitations on pressure group campaigning, but backed the Labour government's satire ban. Even the Greens, who stood solidly against the satire ban, provided the votes which helped ensure the passage of the Electoral Finance Act. With everything from campaign slogans to advice on euthanasia available online, both the value and efficacy of such restrictions seem likely to face continued public scrutiny.

A smaller, pebbled beach with access for light water craft, a youth activities area, a new petanque facility and public art features are some of the ideas proposed in the Tuggeranong Town Park draft master plan, released for public feedback on Friday.
The master plan for the $1 million upgrade has been in the making for nearly 12 months, with the initial public consultation held last May.
Ideas floated then such as a cafe, have been incorporated into the draft, which proposes a "pop-up" concession over something permanent.
A larger play space with new equipment and a revamped skate park with a youth events stage are in the draft, as well as rock climbing walls and outdoor table tennis facilities.
New pavilions will provide protection from the weather, as will additional pergolas, with extra park furniture also planned.
Issues such as poor drainage and pedestrian and cycle access have been addressed to maximise the use of the area.
Improving the park's use of its waterfront location is also a key theme, with jetties, water landings and viewing points included, as well as a new path along the lake edge to improve access along the foreshore.
"Since the town park opened in 1995, community needs and demands have changed," Minister for Territory and Municipal Services Shane Rattenbury said.
"It is now time to plan for the next stage in the park's life and provide more contemporary and well-designed recreational facilities for Tuggeranong."
Mr Rattenbury said the master plan will guide future management, maintenance and upgrades of the park over the next five to 10 years, and encouraged the community to review it and provide comments.
The public consultation period runs until March 22, with Canberrans invited to attend information sessions at the Tuggeranong Town Park stage next Wednesday (5.30pm-7.30pm) and Saturday (10am-noon).

Jaylen Bond, a 6-foot-7, 210-pound junior small forward who helped lead Plymouth-Whitemarsh to the 2010 PIAA Class AAAA championship, has committed to the Panthers.
Bond, who picked Pitt over West Virginia and Temple, joins Girard College 6-1 combo guard John Johnson in Pitt's recruiting class of 2011.
Bond, regarded as the No. 69 overall prospect and the No. 15 small forward by ESPN, averaged 18.6 points and 7.0 rebounds per game for Plymouth-Whitemarsh (30-2).
A first-team all-state selection, he had 26 points and 15 rebounds in a state semifinal victory over North Allegheny. Bond took an unofficial visit to Pitt last weekend for an AAU tournament and called Pitt coach Jamie Dixon on Friday night to give him the decision.

We look for chipped rock art and hammerstone chips that fell to the artists feet when the art was made. These chips differ from soil and weathered rock art particles by their larger size and their sharp edges that resulted from hammering. Hammerstone chips are fewer, harder, more resilient and have a different color than rock art chips. To isolate hammerstone chips we first remove disturbed soil under the art, often down to 10 cm, then scrape the soil contents of each successive ¼ inch (6 mm) level over a 8x12 inch (20x30 mm) area into a dustpan. After transferring the contents of each level to nested sieves and shaking them, the few large hammerstone chips and any rootlets are removed from the topmost or ¼ inch (6 mm) mesh sieve. This is done with tweezers to avoid contaminating datable cultural or natural material.
Small hammerstone chips and soil particles pass into a 1.5 mm standard geological sieve or a ca. 10x20 inch building air vent filter of similar mesh available at hardware stores. Tiny chips and bits of organic material for AMS dating are tweezered into separately labeled aluminum foil pouches. Most dry soil passing this sieve is discarded as backdirt. As it may mask tiny hammerstone chips, a half cup (125 ml) sample is reserved for later washing and separation into its components. This is done by gravity in a 5 ft. (1.5 m) long water-filled rigid plastic pipe with a test tube attached via a reducing coupler to its base. Hammerstone chips fall ahead of the soil particles and can be removed and confirmed under a lens. Rock art and hammerstone chips in multiple levels represent palimpsests or multiple stages of art production. Dating organic material of natural or cultural origin in the same 6 mm level to these chips should date the art.

California's Best and Worst Downtowns
What are the best big-city downtowns in California? What are the worst? Here's one highly subjective take from a publication that covers California planning all the time.
"Within most states, there is little competition among big city downtowns because most states have only one or two big cities. California has no fewer than 11 cities of at least 300,000 people. (From north to south: Sacramento, Oakland, San Francisco, San Jose, Fresno, Bakersfield, Los Angeles, Long Beach, Anaheim, Santa Ana and San Diego.) Some of these are world-class cities with dynamic downtowns. Some of these are the butts of many jokes. Some are both."
"Determining the "best" downtowns is, of course, entirely subjective. Sure, you could count the number of jobs or museums or nightclubs with live music. But simply selecting the quantifier is a subjective exercise. Determining the "best" downtown is more of a seat-of-the-pants exercise. What does it feel like to be there?"

Frequently Asked Questions
Dr. Daniel Morello
Do you have questions about the surgical procedures, treatments or services that we offer?
Below is a list of some frequently asked questions, but please feel free to call our office if you need additional information. We are always pleased to assist you.
- Why are credentials important in plastic surgery?
- Will I look natural?
- Am I being vain?
- What's the best age to have cosmetic surgery?
- How long will results last?
- If I have it done now, won't I need it again in a few years?
- What does surgery cost?
- What is the Mini- face lift?
- What is the "weekend face lift"?
- My breasts sag but are not overly large. What can be done?
Why are credentials important in plastic surgery?
The words "caveat emptor" which mean "let the buyer beware" have never been more relevant for patients seeking cosmetic surgery. In most states it is legal for any physician who has a medical license to "promote" and "perform" cosmetic surgery. Their training varies from a weekend course to a year, and many have been given "certificates" which can be of dubious value.
However, the American Board of Plastic Surgery is the only plastic surgery board recognized by the American Medical Association and the American Board of Medical Specialties. Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery requires completion of a minimum of five years of residency after medical school, several years of post-residency practice, and passing comprehensive oral and written examinations given by experienced plastic surgeons.
There are 7,000 plastic surgeons who are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and 45,000 others that call themselves plastic surgeons but who are not ABPS certified.
Thus only about 10% of physicians claiming to be plastic surgeons are really certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
Will I look natural?
Most patients have seen facial cosmetic surgery that was obvious. It is a truism that you can spot all of the bad results and few of the good ones. Dr. Morello avoids the tightly pulled, unnatural look, and concentrates on producing a nonsurgical, natural look, with hidden incisions. The pull is placed on the deeper tissues, fat is sculpted, and the skin is redraped without being pulled tightly.
Am I being vain?
No. Vanity is an excessive preoccupation with appearance, whereas my patient's concerns are usually very appropriate. Most people agree that what's on the inside of a person is more important than the outside. But we are coming to know that the outside is important also. How you look has a direct impact on how you feel about yourself. People who are pleased with their looks tend to be more confidant, energetic and outgoing.
What's the best age to have cosmetic surgery?
Many patients say they don't look as young as they feel. The best age to have cosmetic surgery is when the aging process bothers you enough to correct it - when you don't look like you any more. Many patients say "when I look in the mirror, I see my mother..."
Ask yourself the magic question: "Will I gain enough (improved appearance and increased self-esteem) to outweigh the cost (time, money, risk)? If your answer is, "yes", then do it now. If it is "no", then wait until the answer becomes "yes".if it ever does.
Another question to ask is: "When do I want to look the best I can look? Now? .or some other time?" One thing is certain: the earlier cosmetic surgery is done, the longer a patient can enjoy its rewards.
How long will results last?
There is no precise answer since this is about perception. The best answer is forever: you will always look better than if you did not have surgery. While cosmetic surgery turns back the clock, aging is continuous, and depends on genetics, sun exposure, and other factors. Most patients will perceive the need for a "tune-up" 7-10 years after face lift surgery, whereas eyelid plasty may last 10-12 years.
If I have it done now, won't I need it again in a few years?
Not necessarily. While many patients choose to have touchups as they continue to age, cosmetic surgery itself does not accelerate aging. We have many lesser procedures to help maintain your looks. Again the answer depends on perception. Many patients continue to be fastidious about their appearance and wish to maintain it with more frequent touch-ups.
What does surgery cost?
Costs vary considerable depending on the amount of work needed. At the time of your consultation, a fee quote will be provided, and will include a charge for surgery, the anesthesia, and the operating facility.
What is a mini-face lift?
Some patients, usually those in their late 30's and early 40s, may show early aging changes primarily in the lower third of the face. They are good candidates to have a less extensive "mini-lift" that fixes jowls and restores a nice, youthful contour of their neck and jawline. The extent of the incisions is limited and recovery is about 5 days.
What is the "weekend face lift"?
This is actually a misnomer, since no one can really look perfectly well in only 1-2 days. This procedure is aimed at improving the area under the chin ("double chin") and jawline. It is done through only a one inch incision under the chin, and a chin implant is used when needed. A microliposuction of the jowls is often done at the same time.
My breasts sag but are not overly large. What can be done?
If the sagging is not severe, a "nipple lift" or "crescent mastopexy" can be performed. The excess skin is removed after making an incision around the outside of the areola (the pigmented skin around the nipple). The resulting scar is confined to the area where the pigmented skin meets the normal skin at the edge of the areola.
In cases of more severe sagging, a procedure similar to breast reduction may be performed by removing skin only - not breast tissue - to result in a more youthful shape. Breast lifting is an excellent alternative to breast implants for many patients.

***Official E46 Bulb Guide***
4 Attachment(s)
Hello everyone, are you a bit confused by what bulb to get for your E46? Here is my guide to help you. Just in-case you are curious this is my lighting setup: OEM AL projectors with ZKW clear lenses, Osram CBI bulbs, Nokya 2500K fog light bulbs and Osram Super Bright off-road high beam bulbs.
I. I have organized the list as follows:
1. H7 - Used on all E46's for the high beam/DRL and for the low beam on models with no xenon lights
2. H11 - Used on E46 with the small ZKW fog lights (facelift sedan)
3. 9006 - Used on all other E46 fog lights including coupes and sedans, M3 and M-tech I/II bumpers
4. D2S - Xenon bulbs that I only recommend for your xenon lights. You want the best? Look no further. PHILIPS OR OSRAM ONLY!!!
____________________________________________________________ __________________________________________
II. Understanding Kelvin temperatures:
- When the sun is shining everything shows and automotive lights are the same. Have you noticed how yellow halogen lights in your house are more easy on the eye and show more compared to those dull white energy saving bulbs? For regular halogen lights which emit a yellow output are the best. The reflect everything on the road and give you the best light output with no compromises.
- Yellow and blue tinted bulbs are rather not recommended for low beam. For fog lights I do recommend pure yellow because they contrast the ground/rain/snow better to give you a better field of depth in front of you. If you want white/blue lights then you will have to get the blue tinted ones, but be warned that the luminosity (the light output that is usable on the road) will decrease drastically. Not only that but bluer lights will make it a lot harder on your eyes at night and create more fatigue.
____________________________________________________________ __________________________________________
III. Choosing the right halogen bulb:
- Looking at the chart below you will notice that most halogen bulbs have the same Kelvin temperatures, but the hidden secret behind bulbs is the amount of lumens created. The more lumens the more light you will have, but with that it means the lifetime of the bulb will be less due to more heat being generated.
More light = More energy = More heat = Less bulb life
Less light = Less energy = Less heat = More bulb life
Blue bulb = Less Light = More eye strain = Possibly illegal in your area
Regular halogen bulb = Most light output = Least eye strain
Pure yellow bulb = average light output, it should only be used for fogs to contrast what's in front of you = Possibly illegal for low beams
- It's rather one of the other but you can either go on the extreme ends as I just described or find a bulb in the middle that suits you.

IV. Choosing the right Xenon bulb:
- Xenon lighting, you have the best. Congrats. Xenon bulbs are by far a lot brighter than halogen bulbs by over 2x the amount and they last for years. The temperature also affects how much light output you get but the bulbs I selected below for my list will not fail you and will fit your budget.
- THE best bulb you can get is arguably the Osram CBI bulb which costs $160 at www.theretrofitsource.com or now the CBH bulbs for $200. Second best is the Philips 85122+. The CBI bulbs are more white over the Philips and have a little better luminosity, but as always if you want the best you have to pony up more to get them. While on the other hand the Philips are $95 for the pair.
Here are some vids of Philips bulbs on my car. I will upload with the Osram CBI bulbs when I have time
- For budget bulbs I recommend the Morimoto. They have a nice variety in color to meet your needs. Yellow if you're not afraid of getting a ticket and want the yellow look, 4300k for the standard xenon look, 5000k for pure white and 6000k for white with a blue tinge. But keep in mind that each bulb has it's own pro and con (color vs the usable light output). Although these bulbs cost $45 keep in mind that OEM bulbs (Philips and Osram) are built much better, have better salts and overall the light output is superior compared to the Morimoto bulbs.
- As for any other xenon bulbs (which are aftermarket) I warn you not to get them. They are made in China where there is no quality control on them and they can result in an extremely heavy cost to fix your car. They run a lot hotter and can cause your ballast/ignitor to work harder and eventually fail. I have seen the sockets for the bulbs literally melt because of how cheap the bulbs are. You have been warned.
____________________________________________________________ __________________________________________
V. Identifying Fakes/Counterfeits:
- One thing to avoid buying fake bulbs is to buy from known vendors. They will carry legit bulbs so you know you will get the right thing. Online sites such as theretrofitsource and lightwerkz sell real xenon bulbs that I have listed in my bulb guide. I have personally bought from them and I can assure you that you will not be disappointed.
- In regards to xenon bulbs the only REAL ones are either D1S, D2S, D2R, and D4S (mercury free). Any other type of xenon bulbs (9006, H7, H9, etc) is a rebased bulb that is aftermarket and not regulated. Those bulbs can cause fires, etc as previously stated. The ONLY way you can have a real xenon bulb put onto that base is to buy something like this: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...ducts_id=12810
The link above is a real Philips capsule with the return wire but it is not attached to the D2S base. This will allow you (if you're handy enough) to put a real xenon bulb onto any base.
- See the images below to get an idea on what to look for with fake bulbs.
____________________________________________________________ __________________________________________
VI: Using your lights correctly:
- Have you ever noticed passing cars with EXTREMELY bright lights that just blind the living hell out of you? Take note of a car with projector headlights with xenon/hid bulbs versus someone that just threw in a hid kit into their halogen headlights. Halogen headlights are NOT meant for hid use since the light pattern is all over the place and actually gives you worse light output. DON'T BE THAT PERSON. :)

Nice! Thanks SolidJake!
This will be a very helpful thread!
Bump, thread updated.
Updated again with text.
Yea... I made that file from scratch lol
Lonely night? Lol JK good job :thumbsup:
Rofl, pretty much. Thanks dude. Making myself a banner now
good work, though you bash the other bulbs by saying they are made from China (along with various other reasons), when in fact all the Morimoto products are made in China as well.
Yea but Morimoto's lets say are the high end aftermarket bulbs that are built a lot better. Keep in mind FXR projectors are also made by Morimoto.
Good job man. maybe just make this a one stop lighting thread. tail lights, types, brands, sidemarkers, etc etc! sounds like a lot of work already
It sure is. I will merge both threads into one when I'm almost done
where'd the chart go :confused:
Standy red leader
For a future reference to new fanatics i had to learn the hard way because i put 10k SUPER COEWL BLEU LIGHTS and burnt my Light Control Module. was seriously expensive at the dealer 800$ plus tax to replace and recode how ever thanks to Krystian (local Fanatic) i bought mine off him and because this was a used LCM now i have a Temper dot which is on because your LCM stores Mileage and and the Cluster and ECU and if they dont match you will get the DOT(personally doesn't bother me), so next time thinking about putting SUM KEWL SUPER BRIGHT LIGHTZ YO think twice or it will cost you allot more
Best option is to read the thread and follow OE specs and dont Fvck with the Lighting or even the electronics for that matter my mistake is your lesson take it or leave it but i wish i read the thread before
you should have the interior lights and what type they are and shiz... cuz my interior bulb burned and idk what it is lol
Great Info. Thank you!

Characteristic desperation ... Geelong's Max Rooke brings down Raphael Clarke.
Photo: Sebastian Costanzo
Rooke's crazy leap turned an old-fashioned classic
AS MAX Rooke took his kick at goal after the last siren of the grand final, no St Kilda player stood the mark. Scattered and lifeless on the ground across the MCG, they looked like chess pieces blown over by the wind in some European town square.
Captain Nick Riewoldt, such a towering figure this season, was at the other end of the ground, his face the colour of alabaster. It summed up the match and the season: the Saints had been magnificent, but now had no one and nothing left.
Rooke's kick skidded through to give Geelong victory by the artificially wide margin of two goals, the equal widest gap between the teams all day. Apocalyptically, the sky cleared and for the first time all this woolly, wintry day, the sun shone.
Rooke, bearded and beady-eyed, personified the Cats, on the day and across these last three seasons of almost unprecedented winning, consummated yesterday by a second premiership to augment 2007's and make part reparation for the one they lost in 2008.
About 23 minutes into the last quarter of a final that lived up to its classic billing, the scores were level and the ball slithered around in the middle of the MCG. Romantics were on alert for a new Barry Breen to update the St Kilda legend that has grown tired from having no inheritor.
Justin Koschitzke was about to gather the ball when the assassin-like Matthew Scarlett lashed at it with his foot, sending it to Gary Ablett.
Not wasting one of the few moments he knew were left, he kicked to the goal square. St Kilda's defenders looked to have it covered, until Rooke, running with the flight of the ball, launched himself like a human cannonball into the maw of the pack.
His crazy-brave leap caused the ball to spill to the turf, where Travis Varcoe gathered it and shot a handball to Paul Chapman, who snapped a goal. A minute later, Rooke soccered the ball off the ground for a behind. The Geelong crowd roared as heartily as if for a goal, for it meant that the Cats now could and would not lose.
In the game's numerical reckoning, Rooke's kamikaze leap was not a statistic, yet will be long remembered as the act that at last gave this epic contest its deciding wrench.
It was as it should be. This was the best team of the season against the best team of the past three seasons in a match with no second prize. And from the first quarter, they played with fourth-quarter intensity and desperation, but also - let it be said - with fastidious mutual respect. Not once did umpires have to break up a scuffle. This encounter had much that was reminiscent of the death-before-surrender Sydney-West Coast clashes of 2005 and 2006, which suggests that this pair may not be done yet.
In many ways, this was a throwback of a grand final. These were two of the game's oldest clubs, both on missions of redemption. On the railway stations, in the pubs and in the grandstands, the split was even.
For once, the pre-match entertainment was kept purposely simple, concentrating on iconic figures of football and music, with a nod to the victims and survivors of Black Saturday. The weather was from another time, too. All day, cold showers came and went, as if the heavens were convulsing in the same way as St Kilda midfielder Leigh Montagna's stomach at the start of the last quarter. Its effect on the game was age-old, greasing the playing surface, simplifying strategy and redoubling the premium on courage.
Many played superbly, but no one seized the game by himself. Norm Smith medal winner Paul Chapman was rated best on ground by three judges, but not worthy of a vote by two others. It was that sort of contest.
The match moved in great tides, first Geelong's way, then St Kilda's, the Geelong's again. It was replete with drama, won and lost many times and in many ways.
The Saints squandered gilt-edged chances, especially in the second quarter and again in the last. They were unlucky, too, when Tom Hawkins' snap shot in the second quarter plainly deflected from the inside of the goal post, yet was declared a goal.
But the Cats had their moments, too. Seconds before half-time, they led by two goals. In quick succession, Clint Jones and Koschitzke poked the ball off the ground for goals. Geelong thought at least one had been touched, if not both, but Darren Milburn's protest to umpire Steve McBurney was intemperately furious. Before the ball was bounced, McBurney paid a free kick against Milburn to Adam Schneider in the goal square, and suddenly, the Saints led by a goal. But they would kick only two more for the match.
Such as stats mattered, these pertained. St Kilda won the ''inside 50s'' by a wide margin, meaning that it forced the ball forward far more often than the Cats. They also won the tackle count. These are two of the measures on which they pride themselves. But they lost the contested possession count, that is, the battle when the ball was there to be won from an opponent's grasp, not merely moved on. This will haunt the Saints all summer long.
At the siren, Geelong was exultant, but also mindful of the St Kilda team that had helped to give this match its epic quality. Many Cats consoled their opponents. On the podium, captain Tom Harley remembered to include Matthew Egan, Matthew Stokes and Josh Hunt, players who might have been out there with him.
Back in the rooms, there was less sense of wonder than in 2007, but more of satisfaction. Gary Ablett senior was in the throng, not so much a legend now as the father of one. Coach Mark Thompson moved about the rooms with his hands dug into his jacket pockets, the cat who got the cream. In the corner of the room, a fan brandished a banner: ''We believed''.
On the ground, the Saints were crushed. Coach Ross Lyon watched the presentation ceremony with his arms folded and his face blank. In the rooms afterwards, the sense was not so much of mourning as shock. ''Remember how much this hurts, bottle it and use it to motivate you,'' Riewoldt had said to his team on the field.
Notionally, this defeat confirmed the club's tragic destiny, but it did not feel that way. Indeed, in the ashes of this grand final defeat, it was possible to discern the phoenix that may yet become the Saints' second premiership. If that proves so, yesterday might yet be remembered as the day on which one-and-a-half premierships were won.

Residency Orders(32 Posts)
Thought I'd start a new thread as the pre school issue in my last one has been pretty much resolved (sob) and the thread moved on to other things...
So, DP's solicitor has advised him to apply for shared residency but that he needs to have a think if he wants to apply for 50/50 or a greater share of residency. I'm sure loads of you have been through residency cases and have residency orders - so I'd love to pick your brains. There's so much he didn't discuss with the solicitor at this stage - £200+ an hour I told him to get in and talk fast She's just talked him through the basics.
He would obviously love to have the DSD's more than 50% of the time- until recently we had them perhaps 80% of the time. But equally he understand they need to have lots of time with their mum to have a meaningful relationship.
So my questions are:
-Is there any real benefit to having a shared residence order 50/50 care? In your opinion was it worth the stress, worry and cost?
-If he made an application to court for shared residency how long would it likely be before the court date is set?
- Will it look bad on him if he proposes we have more than 50% residency (we have valid reasons, well, reasons we believe to be valid) will it look to a judge that he is trying to "take away" time with their mother and will him asking for more than 50% make a judge consider giving him less than 50%. (Their mum has stated clearly she only wants 50% but our solicitor warned us this often happens and at court the parent who previously only wanted 50% asks for more when they realize the other parent wants more.
Thank you and sorry to be abusing this forum and asking so many questions - we have lots of issues and having found this forum I feel like it would be silly not to ask for 1st hand advice here!
Courts operate on the basis of no order, so if your DP and his ex have a care arrangement in place which they have both agreed to, the court won't get involved.
What is it that your DP has proposed regarding contact/care that his ex disagrees with? That will be the basis of what the court will decide upon.
My DP applied for shared residency of his DCs after his ex withheld contact. He had always been an active part of their life as their Mum worked shifts while he was flexible around that to care for them as babies and young DCs.
Once she knew that a court application was submitted, his ex conceded to EOW contact, and DP accepted, but continued with the application saying he wanted more.
By the time the court made their decision several months later, the DCs were settled in an EOW arrangement and that is what the court ordered.
snow just a thought - if you do have PR, then you'll probably need to be represented in court separately from your DP - I think that everyone with PR has to be involved in a contact/residency case - so you'll either need your own solicitor or to represent yourself.
Your DPs solicitor can't represent you and your DP in the same family court hearing - neither can anyone in the same legal practice.
Tell your DP to join Families Need Fathers Snow. There is excellent legal advice avaiable there. My DH learned a lot from both their forum and attending meetings.
Also access a website called "The Custody Minefield" - they have an Ebook you can download regarding Shared Residency.
SRO's can be ordered via consent i.e. Mum can agree to it at mediation. Like Disney says, there's a no order principle whereby the court can decide it's not in the children's interests for either parent to have residency though.
What concerns me in your case is that SRO's can be ordered where one party is seen as overbearing or attempting to exercise control over the other parent. My DH's ex used to threaten to withold contact if DH didn't meet various condtions she set, she got my DSD christened without my DH's agreement, she deliberately failed to pass on letters from school etc. My DH was advised it was far more likely for him to achieve an SRO because of this type of behaviour. I think it would be fairly easy for your DP's ex to show that your DP has exhibited such behaviour and I can see a court being less keen to award him sole residency for such reasons. Unless of course you plan on claiming Mum is unfit in which case there will almost certainly be an extensive investigation by Cafcass - are you ready for that?
In my DH's case it didn't reach court. DH and his ex managed to come to an understanding and they share parenting equally now. This was doubtlessly the best outcome for my DSD (and our finances )
Well what reasons did the solicitor give for recommending applying for shared residency?
- There is no benefit to a shared residence order 50/50 where both parties agree with the contact, and respect the other parents time and parent making decisions.
Generally going to court causes friction, resentment, and if there is no arguement about contact it is very rarely worth it.
- Depending on your court, an initial directions hearing can take anything from 4 - 8 weeks to come through. If ex contests the order, thenno decisions will be made at that point, a further date will be set, and any reports or information required by the court will be asked for. Further directions are usually set for 3 months away, but if including a CAFCASS report (which it will if you cite welfare concerns) can end up with the hearing being delayed by practically any length of time. Around here, a basic wishes and feelings report from CAFCASS takes 8 months!
- It will depend on your reasons. I have already said that my friend lost his 50/50 to essentiall become an EOW dad because of what was perceived to be his unreasonable behaviour.
It will certainly result in ex contesting the application, if as you say she definately wants 50/50.
It might result in her requesting more time. She could easily argue that she wanted to be the primary carer, but believed that 50/50 was best for the girls and the fairest, but if there is going to be a primary carer, then she would be better placed to do so.
I agree with magic - your DP needs to have clear reasons about why he wants it and what it thinks it will achieve.
PS- posters are still asking questions on your other thread which you haven't answered about PR. It's relevant to this question as well- so are you really sure you have it?
Snow-sorry if I missed one of your posts, but did you DP manage to find the paperwork in the loft?
You and your partner can have the same lawyer if you are running the same case. You only have separate lawyers if there is a risk of a conflict between the two of you.
To ask what is the 'benefit' of an order for shared residence is not really a helpful question. It depends entirely on the circumstances of each individual child.
The general principles of law is that any decision must have the child's welfare as the paramount consideration, I.e. This isn't about wha parents want but what is best for the child. Children are entitled to a relationship with both parents, but a 'relationship' can't be defined by 50% of availalble time. In my experience it is very rare to find parenting split equally after separation. Vast majority of children will have a home with one parent and spend some over nights with other parent.
You don't say how old the children are, distances of your respective homes from their schools, so it is not easy to say what would suit them best here.
I suspect that what snow really trying to find out is whether her and DP can have the right to make final decisions over things. I think that is their main concern at the moment. They are happy with the girls spending 50% of their time with mum as long as OP and DP get to keep their control over them. Am I right?
They won't get the right to make 'final' decisions unless they get a special guardianship order, which I can't see being appropriate in this kind of situation. The children's mum has PR too - every person with PR has to consult with the others, unless there is a care order or SGO. Her right to be consulted on every major decision in child's life is in no way related to the amount of time she spends with them.
You don't get to 'win' or be in control just because children spend more than 50% of their time with you. I think shared residence orders are complete red herring and usually totally irrelevant to what is actually going on in children's lives.
But if both parents want different things for the child then they can't both win so sometimes there needs to be a parent who has the final say.
If one parent wants the child to go to one school and the other parent wants them to go to another school and neither will budge on their decision then who 'wins'?
This is the kind of problem that snow is now facing, they've let the mother now have the girls 50% of the time but they don't like that she is beginning to have a say on which preschool she goes to.
Have I missed a thread - did you check out the PR?
If parents can't agree they have to g to court and a judge will decide for them. If both parents have PR it is unlawful for one to impose their decision on the other. The only thing you can do is take you child out of the jurisdiction for 28 days without getting permission but only if you also have a residence order.
Of course the mother is allowed a say in the education her daughter is getting! That is one of the fundamental parenting issues.
Op and her partner need to respect this. If those with PR can't agree, or can't mediate, have to go t court I am afraid.
Keep re-reading your post princess and new things jump out at me every time! So the op 'lets' this mother see her own child??
Boggle. I think this op and her partner need to adjust their attitudes quite swiftly.
Spero have a read of snows other threads
Sorry, I haven't seen any other threads. just talking about general principles here. You don't 'let' the other parent see a child you don't have a 'final' say on fundamental matters such as education and health.
I am not sure what the other threads will reveal that could in any way impact on these basic legal principles.
Spero - you are right of course.
But that assumes that people act logically and rationally. Try telling my DSSs mother that she doesn't have more rights than DH. Or that she doesn't have the final say on anything. And I think this situation is fairly common.
What of course (thankfully!) isn't so common is to hear this particular OP's story. General principles have well and truly left the building, so to speak.
It now seems that, despite being 100% certain she had PR, she has now gone extremely quiet after her DP being due to "find the paperwork" in the loft. It seems he didn't find what the OP was expecting.
Loving the 'of course' - your cheque is in the post.
I know people don't act rationally when it comes to their children but that doesn't change the legal position which they do at least need to acknowledge! I hate this way that children are treated like some top trumps game - it's all about power and control for some people with apparently little or no thought about how this impacts on the children.
spero in the OPs case, acknowledging the legal position is not something she has been prepared to do - even when the unanimous consensus was that only a court could have awarded her PR of her DPs DCs (she and her DP are not married) she continued to assert that she does and that she had no reason to lie about it.
In the face of such conviction, the needs of the DCs are often sidelined.
I agree, I cant see anyway a step parent gets PR without an order, married or not.
but is such a red herring! The mum still has her own PR so it's not a case of two beats one. All holders of PR have to agree, unless SGO or care order.
Poor children.
I suspect in this case the dog has eaten the paperwork. It doesn't look like the OP is coming back
Nope she probably wont,but she has posted on other topics today.quigte an ironic post really.
How bizarre!
spero please don't think that it's MY opinion that a parent 'lets' the parent see the child or that they should get 'the final say' over decisions, this isn't what I think should be the way things should be but I think that is how snow sees it going off what has been said on the other threads.
Yes both parents should have equal rights but in reality they don't. Unfortunately we live in a country where the law does very little about parents who don't let the other parent see their children...I know as its happening to DP at the mo. she won't even let him see them on Xmas day but its the kids I feel sorry though as she's not letting them see him. It's so sad
I think the OP likes having her DSD's as her own and isn't liking the fact that their mum has come back in their lives and she now feels like she's losing them and yes she wants control of them.

William J. Gee Sr., Niagara Falls police officer
Jan. 20, 1966 - Nov. 19, 2013
NIAGARA FALLS – William J. "Bill" Gee Sr., a 12-year veteran of the Niagara Falls Police Department, died Tuesday evening in his home here while under the care of Niagara Hospice. He was 47.
A native of Lewiston, Mr. Gee was a graduate of Trott Vocational High School and served in the U.S. Army Reserve from 1985 to 2001.
He was known by those in the Police Department for his upbeat and positive attitude after he fought and appeared to be succeeding in his two-year battle with stage 4 stomach cancer.
In December, Mr. Gee was in good health and good spirits when he told The Buffalo News that the cancer was improving and that he was anxious to get back to work helping people.
"At the end of the day, it is not about the bad guys, but helping out all the good people. That's something I enjoy," Mr. Gee had said.
He said he was mentally tough after having spent more than 11 years working as a corrections officer before joining the Niagara Falls Police Department.
Police Superintendent E. Bryan DalPorto said Mr. Gee refused to go on disability after he was diagnosed with cancer and returned to work this past year and was doing well.
DalPorto said Mr. Gee had recently fought off pneumonia, but shortly after that, he became ill, and his health deteriorated.
His last assignment was on patrol duty.
Mr. Gee had worked in corrections at what he had once called some of the toughest maximum security prisons in the state, including Ossining, Sullivan, Auburn, Attica and Wende, before joining the Niagara Falls Police Department in 2001.
He held several assignments with the department, including Patrol Division and Warrants Services Unit, and participated in the annual department tug-of-war competition as a member of the winning team.
He was a member and served on the board of directors of the Niagara Falls Police Club and the Judges, Police and Executives of Niagara County. He was also a member of Council 247, Knights of Columbus. He enjoyed hunting.
Survivors include his wife, the former Mary Koshinski; two sons, William Jr. and Cameron P.; four stepsons, Adam Kinney, Mitchell Kinney, Jordan Kinney and Ryan Kinney; two brothers, Lewiston Town Justice Hugh C. Gee Sr. and Edward; six sisters, Elizabeth Crapsi, Linda Mercurio, Rita Czapla, Carol Gee, Mary Ann Hedden and Lorraine Edwards; and two granddaughters.
A Rite of Christian Burial will be held at noon Saturday in St. Vincent de Paul Parish's St. Leo Church site, 2748 Military Road, Town of Niagara.
