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!
Gender bias in cases like these are simply not fair and not just. I have been falsely accused of domestic violence. I have been the victim of her abusive behavior for 1 year. Now that we are in the midst of the criminal trial, she shows no signs of stopping her behavior, and worse yet, she accuses me of all the stuff she is doing to me. She continues to falsely accuse me to cover what she did. She is calling me 10 times a day to threaten and harass and entrap me. She insists that I go to her home and even suggest we have sex, then, records a conversation that we had to entrap me and prove that I broke the protective order. She has betrayed me again and again, Im very alone and scared. the anxiety is affecting my work performance. She has a CT imaging report and threatens to submit to DA.
Talk to your lawyer/ And if you don't have one and are in the middle of a criminal trial, why don't you have counsel?
My responses to questions on Avvo are never intended as legal advice and must not be relied upon as legal advice. I give legal advice only in the course of an attorney-client relationship. Exchange of information through Avvo's Questions forum does not establish an attorney-client relationship with me. That relationship is established only by individual consultation and execution of a written agreement for legal services.Ask a similar question
I do have a lawyer. I thought it would be better keep things as calm as possible and my lawyer agreed. So I continued to do my best to fulfill her demands. I have done everything to try to satisfy her before and after this incident. It is clear to me that she has a psychological disorder (paranoia, irrational thinking and behavior, denial). She will lie in the trial and she is very manipulative. what should I do? Hire forensics psychologist?
Do what your lawyer instructs. Nothing more, nothing different.
The answer of Ms. McCall + no.
The above is general legal and business analysis. It is not "legal advice" but analysis, and different lawyers may analyse this matter differently, especially if there are additional facts not reflected in the question. I am not your attorney until retained by a written retainer agreement signed by both of us. I am only licensed in California. See also avvo.com terms and conditions item 9, incorporated as if it was reprinted here.Ask a similar question
Q: I have been falsely accused of domestic violence:
A: You supplied no information relating to your inability to control your temper or support that you are violent.
Q: She records conversations
A: If you were a client, I look into the laws of CA and see if you need consent to record your own conversations.
Q: She has a CT imaging report
A: I hope it is not a CT of drug smugling
So what is this nonsense question about.
I am an Arizona attorney. AVVO does not pay us for our responses. Simply because I responded to your question does not mean I am your attorney. In Arizona a non-lawyer is held to the same standards as an attorney so there are dangers to representing yourself. This is for informational purposes only and should not be considered as legal advice. If you require legal assistance an in depth discussion of your case is needed as there are many other issues to consider such as defenses, statute of limitations, etc.Ask a similar question

While Paradise Pier is a comfortable hotel, if you are looking for the Disney Expeirence...stay at one of the other resorts! The beds were very comfortable. While the rooms were small they worked fine for as little time as we spent. Elevators are very slow and crowded....we waited for 6 (already full elevators) to finally get in one to go down to the parks one morning.
Tha water slide is great! The pools are warmer than at the other 2 resort hotels. Nice size, nothing fancy or themed about the pool. Wheelchair access is by a long long ramp that wraps around the pool area.
From certain areas of the hotel you have a wonderful view. It is a very clean hotel with friendly staff. The store has limited items (unlike the Disneyland hotel stores) but is well stocked.
They do turndown service and leave candy on your pillow each afternoon if you do not leave the privacy sign out...kids love finding chocolates upon returning from the park. OK adults did as well.
The food is overpriced and not worth buying...go elsewhere. Ask at the Guest Services...they have delivery menue's with much more affordable food.
There are no Characters in the lobby of this hotel (unlike other DIsney resorts)
Overall the hotel is very clean and comfortable. Good family place as it is quiet and has a kids TV viewing room that is very cute. If you are not looking for the Disney experience...this would work for you.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Return to the heyday of California beachfront boardwalks at Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel. Loaded with special Disney touches, this seaside-themed hotel will carry you on a wave of relaxation, all the way up to the whimsical waterslide at the scenic rooftop pool.

Voyeur : December 2008
THEME PARKS ? DESTINATION_ Are you brave enough to take your seat on Warner Bros. Movie World's hugely popular Batwing Spaceshot ride (top) and thrilling Superman Escape roller-coaster (belowleft)? WHINE TIME F or parents who are keen to instil in their children the value of simple pleasures, quiet time and personal relationships, pint-sized pleas of 'Can we go to Dreamworld?' on the first day of school holidays are panic-inducing, to say the least. But apart from the overstuffed bags of fairy floss, stomach-churning rides, total excitement overload and combined day- passes costing almost asmuch as a new laptop, there's plenty of quality family time to be found at theme parks. Really. All you have to do is study up on what to expect fromyour chosen theme park and take on board a few tips and tricks to ensure the day goes smoothly. Luckily, that's exactly what we've done for you… WARNER BROS. MOVIE WORLD, GOLD COAST Kids will be thrilled at the opportunity to shake hands with a giant Scooby Doo and see all their favourite movie stars come to life. Warner Bros. has created just that in this colourful wonderland, seemingly plucked straight fromHollywood Boulevard. Itmight seemclichéd to the old and cynical but for children of all ages – and the young at heart – this is the stuff ofmagic. For the kids :: Action hero fans will be in their element with extreme rides such as the wild Batman-inspired Batwing Spaceshot vertical launcher or the Superman Escape roller-coaster, both of which fly through the air just like the real superheroes. For smaller kids, there's a daily Live Looney Tunes musical show, What's Up Rock?!, plus the chance to get your face on Channel Nine's new show, Kids'WB, which is filmed on location at the theme park every week. For the grown-ups :: For many, access to good food and a cold beer can make all the difference. Parents can check out the Dirty Harry Bar, stocked with a selection of tipples. There are also plenty of fun, low-key lunch spots scattered throughout the park, and some great boutiques offering all manner of movie memorabilia and souvenirs, perfect for finalising your Christmas shopping list. Details :: Warner Bros. Movie World is open from10amto 5pm every day except Christmas Day. Find it on the Pacific OK, let's get real… the kids are going to complain about something, nomatter how cool the place is. Here's how to whinge-proof your theme park trip before you even reach the gates. Queues: There's no avoiding them, even mid-week in midwinter. So use the time for a game of 'I Spy' or charades and distract the kids until you reach the ticket collector. Size limits :: It was probably the source of devastation when you were a kid and things sure haven't changed with the safety police on some rides. Console height- challenged kids whomiss out on the big dipper with the promise that they'll be taller when you visit next year and a showbag or souvenir. Tell them that these last longer than rides anyhow. Exhaustion :: A tired child is about asmuch fun as a nappy full of… well, you know. Save treats of ice-creamor popcorn for the trip home and use them as encouragement to hang in there – just a little bit longer. DECEMBERVOYEUR 083

Carole Bouquet and Christina Cole have signed on to NBC's four-hour miniseries Rosemary's Baby, an adaptation of the 1967 best-selling suspense novel by Ira Levin. It centers on Rosemary Woodhouse (Zoe Saldana), a young wife and would-be mother who, with her husband Guy (Patrick J. Adams), moves into a Paris apartment that has a dark past. After finally getting pregnant, she becomes increasingly suspicious that both her husband and their mysterious neighbors have ulterior motives about the future of her child. Bouquet has been cast as Margaux Castevet, a sophisticated and beautiful Parisian socialite who befriends young Rosemary, and Cole will play Julie, Rosemary's spirited girlfriend. Jason Isaacs also has been cast in the mini, directed by Agnieska Holland and produced by Lionsgate TV. Bouquet is repped by Agence Adequat in France; Cole is with ICM Partners and Conway van Gelder Grant.
Carole Bouquet, Christina Cole Join NBC's 'Rosemary's Baby' Miniseries

I've watched a ton of French movies and I've never hard of this Carole Bouquet woman. Considering they're shooting on location in Paris, I'm disappointed they couldn't have gotten a big name French actress looking to get seen by the American populace. It's not like there's a shortage of talented French actresses to choose from. And why choose someone so young to play the role Ruth Gordon played in the original? If they're going to change her character so much, why bother giving her the same name? So much is wrong with this remake. I guess they spent all their money on Zoe Saldana which would explain the bargain basement cast. It'll no doubt like cheap too like all NBC mini-series.
Ask the average American to name a French actress, and you'll get a blank stare or maybe "Catherine Deneuve" if you're lucky. The PR value of a French actress is nil, so why not give "this Carole Bouquet" woman a chance? Maybe she was actually the best choice for the role based on talent.
They're making the character young because the advertisers want the 18-49 demographic. We all know how ad-supported TV works, right?
The bigger problem is, how is this going to be any different or more successful than ABC's 666 Park Avenue? How are you going to impress audiences when the FCC won't allow you to do anything approaching the shock value and gore of American Horror Story, which is the kind of thing all the kids want to watch nowadays?
Sometimes I read about pilots at this time of year and think, "they could save themselves money and time by just canceling this now." This is one of those pilots.
Rosemary's Baby is not a pilot. It is a 4 hour mini-series. Did you read the post before you wrote this? Geez.
Well, you obviously have been watching the wrong French movies. Carole Bouquet not only has won the César for Best Actress for "Trop Belle pour Toi/Too Beautiful for You", but also has appeared in more than 50 films and has worked for some of the best directors in the Business, such as Bertrand Blier and Luis Bunuel.
Of course, in English-speaking countries she is mainly known for her role as Melina Havelock in the James Bond film "For Your Eyes Only" and for her "Chanel No. 5" Commercials (directed, by the way, by Ridley Scott.) She is a very fine actress – and a great Beauty.
"I've never hard of this Carole Bouquet woman."
Bond fanatics like me know who Carole Bouquet is!
She's also Gérard Depardieu's ex-girlfriend.
You don't know who Carole Bouquet is? She's Bond Girl, for Pete's sake, lol, and a good one at that, too.
Is Carole the Bond girl who had a sex change?
No, that was Caroline "Tula" Cossey who had a bit part in the same Bond movie that Carole Bouquet appeared in.
A BS rumor, but yes
There was never a Bond Girl that got a sex change. There was an actress that did, but she did not play a "Bond Girl." In a pool scene in "For Your Eyes Only," there's a couple of shots of some female extras enjoying themselves. One of them, apparently, had a sex change, but they weren't a Bond Girl, despite some corners of The Internet claiming so.
Christina Cole is fantastic.
I agree! I have been rewatching her series "Hex" (which I don't like after she leaves) and literally today was talking about how I want to see Cole in some sort of American horror. Yay.
Why not add music and make it the Sound of Music part 2. Sorry , This is going to suck. Rosemary's Baby was a great book & so was the first movie. This whole thing sounds lame
Carole one of the beauties in the very good "For Your Eyes Only". She and Lynn-Holly Johnson made that flick one of Roger Moore's best Bond films.
I wonder how Hannibal deals w the fcc, that show is much more gore-y than ahs.

"If anyone can get away with making Israeli fantasies of regional domination come true, it is Obama." He's got more faces than a Hindu god, and smoother moves than the NBA. "He killed Gaddafi, he is destroying Syria, and he is sending troops to occupy the African continent." If only he was on our side.
Freedom Rider: U.S./Israel Axis of Evil
by BAR editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley
"Netanyahu is likely to get his own version of a sequestration deal."
President Barack Obama's visit to Israel signals nothing but bad news for the Palestinian people and probably the people of the rest of the world too. Every American president who has served since Israel's founding has put chosen Israeli interests over those of their own people. Israel may kill United States servicemen as it did in attacking the U.SS. Liberty in 1967. American citizen Rachel Corrie was crushed to death by an Israeli tractor when she tried to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian home. Furkan Dogan was assassinated by Israeli soldiers on board a freedom flotilla vessel bound for Gaza. Neither the sailors on board the Liberty, nor Corrie, nor Dogan received any justice from their government. There is very little justice when it comes to Israeli/American relations.
It will be important to keep that in mind while watching Obama's "listening" trip to Israel, Palestine and Jordan. The president's first visit to Israel since his election is nothing more than a public relations ruse. Obama will do just as his predecessors did in regards to Israel, that is to say, whatever the Israelis want him to do.
It doesn't matter that Prime Minister Netanyahu practically endorsed Mitt Romney during his presidential campaign. Romney's well heeled Zionist supporters wasted their war chests and not just because theirs was a losing effort. They were going to get what they wanted from whomever emerged victorious in November. There was no need to spread around all that cash.
"There is very little justice when it comes to Israeli/American relations."
If Obama acts true to form during his trip, he will perform his usual double talk routine. He will say things that make his liberal fans happy, such as making bland comments about Palestinian rights. Such talk should be ignored because Obama loves nothing more than behind the scenes wheeling and dealing with people whom he allegedly opposes.
Just as he gave us sequestration and cuts to entitlement programs, he will mouth the right words but give Israel the go ahead on anything they want. Obama is after all the more effective evil. His common sense tells him that a shooting war against Iran would be difficult to pull off, but he has crushed the Iranian economy with sanctions. Iranians are going without food and medicines because the United States and NATO want them to submit to western dictates on nuclear production and on their very existence as a sovereign nation.
One by one, the dominoes have fallen to the Obama regime. On this tenth anniversary of the occupation of Iraq, it is important to remember that Barack Obama made good on the neo-con dream of an American empire. He has gone where Reagan and the Bush presidents would not. He killed Gaddafi, he is destroying Syria, he is sending troops to occupy the African continent.
If anyone can get away with making Israeli fantasies of regional domination come true, it is Obama.
If the flies on the wall during the Obama and Netanyahu meetings could talk, they would have much to tell us. Netanyahu is likely to get his own version of a sequestration deal. A promise to cease and desist from showing badly made drawings of Iranian bombs in exchange for patience and a certainty that the United States will live up to its promise to be Israel's best friend. Obama's diabolical ability to make his supporters believe that he isn't doing things he clearly is doing will come in handy when dealing with the likes of Netanyahu.
"Barack Obama made good on the neo-con dream of an American empire."
The United States will do as it has done for decades. It will keep vetoing United Nations resolutions which criticize Israel. It will keep arming Israel and agreeing to settlements which steal Palestinian land. When Israel decides to massacre people in Lebanon or Gaza or anywhere else, the United States government will either voice support or be silent.
Obama's relationship with Israel and its American Zionist supporters is but one example of why the ruling classes chose him for the presidency. As we have pointed out in Black Agenda Report, pax Americana could only succeed if the brand was rebooted. "So much face was lost, it required that the Empire put a new, Black face forward, so as to resume the game under (cosmetically) new circumstances."
The nonsensical dance goes something like this. Racists attack Obama. Progressives defend Obama. Obama goes behind closed doors to do what progressives say they don't want. Obama lies and claims he didn't do what he in fact did. Progressives are happy. The world suffers anew.
Obama is not without pride and ego. He did make Netanyahu wait for a meeting after he so publicly backed Romney. Ultimately though, he does what the system requires of him. In the end, Israel will get a pass or even American help for its next nefarious plan. No listening is needed to make that prediction.

Microsoft's series of anti-Google "Scroogled" ads seem to be paying big dividends for Microsoft, conclude two ad-effectiveness firms. But dig a little deeper and look at the numbers: Is Microsoft wasting its money with its Scroogled effort?
Microsoft has gone hard after Google with its Scroogled ad series, critizing the company for privacy invasions, poor search results, and more. This type of hardball campaign is unusual in what is frequently more upbeat tech advertising -- and it appears to be working. Ad Age reports:
The Scroogled ads, negative to the core, are a rarity for consumer tech. Even the mean-spirited "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" variety featured a product comparison at least. But while the tactics may be ugly, the ads are working, according to two ad effectiveness firms, and research commissioned by Microsoft, which finds the ads are tarnishing Google's image in the eyes of viewers and putting Microsoft products -- including underdogs such as Bing -- into the consideration set.
Ad Age says that the Ace Metrix ad-effectiveness research firm found that 53% of those who had seen Microsoft's Scroobled ad campaign would look at Bing "in a new light" or try to get more information about Bing. Jonathan Symonds, exec VP-marketing at Ace Metrix told Ad Age:
"For Microsoft it's a win...Microsoft will happily accept these outcomes."
Another ad-effectiveness measurement company, Advertising Benchmark Index, came to a similar conclusion. Company president Gary Getto said:
"They have certainly raised the level of awareness of Google's activities based on the call-to-action metrics," said Mr. Getto. "People are going to talk to each other and visit the website to discuss the issue."
Negative ad campaigns like Scroogled are popular among politicians, but rare in the tech world. So it should be no surprise that the person behind the campaign is a well-known political hardball consultant, Mark Penn, who had been involved in many political campaigns, and was an advisor to the Clintons.
But what works for politics may not work as well for consumer tech in the long term, according to Symonds at Ad Metrix. Ad Age reports:
The "Scroogled" ads are actually less effective than comparison ads placing the products side by side, according to Ace Metrix. Mr. Symonds said Microsoft is likely using the more negative ads to win away hardcore Google supporters and comparison ads to win over "independents." But the money appears to be better spent on the less-negative ads.
The real truth of what works, though, can't be measured by ad firms. It can only be measured by market share. And judged by that, the Scroogled campaign has not worked well. comScore's most recent search engine market figures show Google still well ahead of Microsoft in September, by a margin of 66.9% to 18% -- a margin of 48.9%. A month ago, Google led by 66.9% to 17.9%. Microsoft's increase of 0.1% that month doesn't amount to much. In May, Google led Microsoft by 66.7% to 17.4%, 49.3%. That means Microsoft has gained only 0.4% since then. So Penn may enjoy overseeing a brass-knuckles ad campaign, like he did in his bygone political days, but it doesn't seem to be paying off for Microsoft.

A guarantor might be considered when the borrower's financial position does not fully satisfy a mortgage provider's lending criteria. Where this is the case, the lender may consider taking a personal guarantee to support the mortgage.
The guarantor is not a party to the mortgage but some lenders may ask the guarantor to sign the mortgage deed.
A guarantor enters into a separate contract to undertake to repay the mortgage if the borrower fails to do so. Because the guarantor is entering into a collateral contract and is not a party to the mortgage transaction itself, there are no provisions in the Mortgage Conduct of Business rules relating to personal guarantees.
Types of Guarantee
There are two types of mortgage guarantee:
Supported Mortgage Guarantee
A supported mortgage guarantee requires an individual to offer security to the lender. This type of guarantee is known as a surety.
Unsupported Mortgage Guarantee
An unsupported mortgage guarantee merely requires an individual to provide a promise to the lender to pay; no security is needed.
Directors' Guarantees
Lenders may often require guarantees from directors when loans are made to limited companies. The reason for this is that limited companies are considered to be a separate legal entity to the directors and, if the company is unable to meet its obligations, the lender can therefore rely on the personal guarantee of the director/s.
Legal Advice
It is prudent for prospective guarantors to seek independent legal advice before committing themselves to a personal guarantee because they have undertaken to commit collateral into a contract – but they are not a party to the mortgage transaction itself.

IPL 2013 Scandal: Mudgal Panel to Meet Police Investigators
The Mudgal committee which is probing allegations of match-fixing and betting in IPL 2013, is likely to seek more time to submit its report to the Supreme Court. The panel is expected to speak to some current Team India players once they return from England tour.
The Mukul Mudgal committee will be meeting police investigators from Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai on Wednesday before submitting what could be an interim report to the Supreme Court on the spot-fixing and betting scandal that hit the 2013 Indian Premier League (IPL).
Sources said Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) deputy director B.B. Mishra, a member of the Supreme Court-appointed committee, will be meeting investigating teams from the three cities in Chennai.
The Supreme Court had set a deadline of August-end for submitting the report. (Srinivasan, Meiyappan Questioned by Mudgal Committee)
"We will meet police officials from Chennai, Delhi and Mumbai before finalising the full report. Since Delhi and Mumbai police were the first to expose the scandal, we have to take inputs from them on the pending cases before we can submit a report to the Supreme Court," a member of the committee said on Tuesday. (Supreme Court Asks Mudgal to Carry on Probe)
Delhi Police were the first to bust the scandal after they arrested three Rajasthan Royals cricketers -- S. Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan -- in a midnight raid in Mumbai last year.
Mumbai police also unearthed betting links after they arrested Gurunath Meiyappan, son-in-law of 'suspended' Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief N. Srinivasan, and Bollywood actor Vindu Dara Singh. (Ganguly Joins Mudgal Committee  )
Justice (retired) Mudgal said the committee would meet to decide whether to seek more time from the apex court to submit its report.
"We will meet Wednesday to decide whether we need more time. We have to go through all the investigation details before filing the report," Mudgal said.
Last week, the committee had released a statement saying that they have no intention of interrogating any Indian cricketer in England since it may disturb the team's concentration.
The probe committee is likely to seek more time as it wants to grill some top cricketers after they return from England. The series in England ends with a T20 international on September 7.

Am I being unreaosnable to think that having kids shouldn't automatically give you more right to have the bank holidays off?(259 Posts)
Hello all.
Maybe Mumsnet isn't the best place to ask this question but I'm fed up. I work as a nurse in a hospital unit (open 24 hours, 365 days a week). It is, obviously, a fact of our job that the bank holidays need to be covered on the nursing rota, and I have no problem with this per se, as I accept that it's part of the job. What I am fed up is that my boss seems automatically to give the large majority of bank holiday working to those who are child-less, and gives priority to have the day off to the nursing staff who are parents. I could understand more if this was a child-care issue, but no, 95% of the parents where I work have partners / husbands who are also off on the bank holiday, so that there is already child-care available. I have just worked all 4 days of the Easter weekend, not spent any quality time with my husband, and missed one engagement party and family gathering because of work; and yet a lot of my colleagues with children have been off the whole 4 days (again). I'm down on the next rota to work May-day as well. Christmas and New Year is even worse (and causes a lot of staff tensions) as a lot of child-less staff find themselves working all over Christmas and New Year, inevitably leading to a lot of bad feeling against the nursing staff with children, who seem to automatically get priority to have the time off. I'm not anti-family (and am indeed, currently pregnant) but am I being unreasonable to think that the bank holiday working should be shared out a bit better? It's very difficult to discuss this issue with my ward manager, who has several children herself, and is very adamant about not working bank holidays as it's 'family time'.
YANBU - do you have any recourse to anyone? There must be a fairer system than that.
If you work in a hospital it's down to HR and hospital policy surely
have you spoken to anyone about it - like your manager or union
It's very difficult. The whole NHS philosophy on working parents is very much about allowing parents to work flexibly and to have a work / family balance if you have children. I have no problem with this per se but I think it gets a bit 'brushed under the carpet' sometimes that what is better for working parents often means workers without children end up providing the cover when the working-parents are not there.
I've never understood that attitude, I also worked bank holidays Xmas etc before I had kids (midwife) and now I have kids I don't work quite as many. It's your "turn" to work them, I'll bet once your baby is born you will want to not work Xmas etc. When my kids are a bit older it'll be my turn to work the holidays again so that those with young kids or without kids get their turn at having the holidays off.
That is outrageous OP. Shouldn't make any difference whatsoever whether people have children or not. Everyone should work their fair share of bank holidays. I don't have children but have a life outside work.
DrHamstertoyou - What about people that never have / don't want to have children? Should they just be expected to work every set of bank holidays in order to make life easier for working parents? Surely just because people don't have children doesn't also mean that they don't have a life / family commitments that ever warrant having the time off?
YANBU. People without children have lives, commitments and desires to spend the holidays doing nice things too, and are just as entitled to bank holidays off as people with. It should be done on a fair and balanced rota system.
DrHamster, why on earth should people without children work bank holidays for several years to accommodate people with small children?
I think that there is some justification for Christmas Day itself - just the day - for parents of young (under ten) children. And the problem could probably be overcome by offering a financial incentive (or an alternative of two days off) and asking for volunteers.
Apart from that it should be done fairly for everyone. Ordinary bank holidays, Easter etc are equal opportunity holidays - three is no reason for parents to have them off.
And imo it's a bit of a slippery slope - I will never forget the summer dh and I got no holiday because he was the only person in his company with no children (we'd been ttc for years) so wasn't allocated a single week between May and the end of September.
Added to which - do you give Christians priority at Easter? Or other religions priority for their special days?
Roster allocation has to be fair to everyone.
I'm a nurse with a child and am currently pregnant. I think it should be fair. People without kids have lives too.
Last year I worked all the bank holidays and some people worked none! How fair is that?!
I think it should be taken in turns. If you don't want to work bank holidays chose a career where you don't need to. Why is it just the parents that should see family on special occasions? What about people that work shifts and have very little time with their partner. Should they not get quality time with their partners. What about same sex couples who don't have children - should they have to work all bank holidays?
YANBU, just because people don't have children does not mean they do not have a life and want to enjoy long weekends/christmas etc.
i am a mother, i struggle alot with childcare during holidays as ds' nursery and daycare both shut, but i would never expect to have all holidays off over and above others with no children or grown up children.
it should be spread equally or done on a rota basis- ie. you have worked this entire bank holiday so May weekend is your turn to have it off.
have you spoken to your boss? are there other colleagues without children who are lumbered with the same? you should get together and bring it up.
For example, if a parent with young kids particularly wants Christmas day off to see their children get their presents etc, I have no problem with this; but just think maybe they could then work Boxing day or New Years instead so that other people also got the chance to spend some time with their (adult) families. It's about sharing the time off out surely so that everyone gets some quality family time, regardless of whether they have children or not?
Dr hamster I hate to use the term everyone so hates on here but you sound dreadfully entitled
YANBU. Childless people have families too! As someone else said, a financial incentive would help Artem the deal because let's face it, no-one wants to work over bank holidays
Maryz, I think that there is some justification for Christmas Day itself - just the day - for parents of young (under ten) children.
Absolutely not. I have no children but, believe it or not, I usually have plans and people who want to see me on Christmas Day. Why should they be treated as less important than the plans and the loved ones of people with children?
Why should Christmas Day be an exception? I am my parent's child - does that not count because I am over 10 years old?
YANBU - and I've never heard anyone refer to bank holidays as 'family time'. Neither I nor my DH work in organisations that 'give' bank holidays (they're added on to annual leave to take as and when we want) and while we could use them for bank holidays we never do (who the hell wants to be off with everyone else?).
As for xmas and new year, in the kind of jobs that work 365 days a year there is always going to be tension. I think if you really want xmas and new year off (and I mean anybody, not just those with/without kids) maybe you need to find a job that doesn't work those shifts - otherwise, you just have to suck it up and accept that you won't always get the shifts you want (childless and those with children).
I don't think anybody has the right to say who is more entitled to spend bank holidays etc with their families, it's ridiculous
Surely it should just be allocated amongst all staff fairly, so a,b,c work Good Friday, x, y, z work easter Monday?
Having children shouldn't come into the decision making process.
YANBU at all. And as for the poster above who said "her turn would come" - what would happen for someone who never has kids? should they work every bank holiday forever more? No, it's not fair.
There was a thread recently about parents getting 'dibs' on holidays and the cry from the majority was that it wasn't fair but that "that sort of thing rarely happens these days" despite those of us without children pointing out that it still does and still with more frequency than is fair.
DrHamster I don't have children and am not going to have any. I don't mind taking my turn, but I do not and will not accept that parents should EVER get automatic dibs on ANY holiday time over those without children. That is suggesting that parents are more important and better citizens than the childless or childfree and your attitude suggests that ir right and proper. Well it bloody well ain't.
Work/life balance needs to apply fairly and across the board. Having children is YOUR choice. I pay taxes for the NHS and schools. I will probably use the latter but not the former. I am happy to do that - your children may be my nurses, lawyers, who knows. But I am damned if I should have to take last choice of holidays for the likes of you.
Onlylovers - because they're children! They don't understand why you have to go to work whereas other adults do and they are only little for a short while.
I'm not entitled. I've worked with a great bunch of women who are happy to let the mums of young children go first when it comes to self fostering over a holiday. Because they had holidays off when their kids were little.
YANBU that would royally piss me off. Bank holidays at my work don't matter as the office is closed for everyone but at Christmas we take it in turns for the in between Christmas and new year period regardless of whether or not you have kids (I have kids and wouldn't expect to have any more right to time off than someone who didn't).
Hamster - but what about the women/men who don't have kids and haven't benefitted from having time off when their kids were little?
Why should they lose out?
You are remarkably short-sighted.
I think it should be fairly allocated. It's rubbish for single people because they often can't then travel to see family. So end up spending the rest of the bh alone. I didn't really mind working half of Xmas day once I had dc, because I could get home to spend the rest of the day with them. When I was single, I'd spend the rest of Xmas day on my own because my family were 300 miles away.
But it never was fair when I worked on wards. It's at the mercy of whoever happens to have the job of organising the rota.
I think the system (if there is one) is very archaic. I've never understood why they don't give people set shifts. They must lose so many staff because of it. Supermarkets manage it. Who realistically can find childcare for any hours of the day or night on any random day with less than two weeks' notice? They could then allocate the bank holidays fairly.

Everything works fine, but sometimes I have many trouble with setting of colors in the chart. If I will change the color of the bars or rectangles or Fibonacci retracements or other i can not change the color. I get the set of colors but I can not choose or change them.
I would appreciate very much your help.

Learn why I am now scared to sleep..
It was a normal night, any night one might spend reading a book before bed, which I had been doing for the past hour or so that night. I had my iPod charging in the wall so when it made that little *beep* noise, it makes when you plug it in, I was confused because neither had the power gone out nor had I unplugged it.
So as I reached over to look at the device I was horrified to see a small yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark. However that wasn't the scariest part, typed up on the screen was a message, but out of habit I unlocked the screen but not quickly enough not to see the yellow font saying Open and in bold, red, letters DIE!
However, that wasn't the scary part of the night.
As I curled up in my lovely blankets, getting ready for my 7 hours of sleep I always get, a sense of dread washed over me and I was knocked out. Now, this isn't the first time I had dreams along the lines of this but now, ever since that dream, they have been getting worse and worse.
I was on my way to school, and two of the people in my grade (no names but I'll call one Rick--because it rhymes with you know what--and Steve) walk behind me and Rick grabs me and through me up in the air as Steve laughs. As I approach the ground there is a horrifying scream as my teacher (again, no names but I'll call her Ms. Apple) runs up to us and yells at Rick and Steve as I heavily bleed from my head--having landed on it--so, Ms. Apple takes me to the backyard where everyone in my class-even the kid that moved away-is waiting for the bell.
However, the creepy part is that we were the only class at school! So as we wait for the bells, Ms. Apple gives Rick and Steve detention and makes them sit on the wall (not the worst but not the best punishment my school gives) as she tends to my head, along with my friend (lets name her Sam) and a few others help. When the bells ring the school is a disaster!!!
In my dream the school was renovating but no one in my class got the memo--come to thing of it even my own BROTHERS were missing--which was weird. So as we walk to the office there is a note for the workers who, mysteriously, are not there. In brief the note said that the school was equipped with new locks that only un-locked at every bell or with a new the teacher access-cards which were not mailed yet so the workers had to wait for the bells to leave. Now my school isn't cruel and don't have bells that go off in like 4 hours apart but time seemed to slow drastically, even for a slow day.
So to make the time go by the students talk to each other. Now me, having just been dropped on my HEAD was in no mood to talk-which I regret having so-ignored the kid that moved away. Eventually he got the memo that I didn't want to talk so he got up and left. Because I was alone and not talking I immediately noticed that the kid disappeared and soon other kids that left conversations to sit or use the lavatory (bathroom) soon enough kids disappeared for us to notice until it was me, Sam, Rick, Steve, Ms. Apple, a VERY violent kid, and my Spanish friend left in the room.
I started to get up when Ms. Apple said something with a worried face, I moved closer to ask what she said but when I took the first step, the lights went out. The room we were in faced the sun so it wasn't dark but it wasn't bright due to the slightly thick fog that had rolled over the yards. I found the lights easy enough to hear a door slam. When I looked up Ms. Apple had locked the door and looked up to see me. She looked like she had seen a ghost and was doing the hand gesture for me to move quickly.
As I reached the door someone grabbed my neck from the back and started to chock me, all of my friends pushed up against the glass to watch me be lifted off the ground--which is a BIG accomplishment if you know what I mean--and their faces twisted with horror as the man--or I assume it was--did something. Just as I felt my life slipping away, I felt something cold in my gut and tasted a metallic-bloody taste.
As I looked down in horror, I had a katana prodding out of my stomach area and was thrown to the floor shoving the katana father threw my gut. And as I laid there dyeing all I could here was the laughter of someone crazy, of the man that killed me. But I didn't wake up then, no that be too easy, so the I was floating there in the darkness, my only company was the people, my friends, strangers, missing people from the news, EVERYONE and slowly, one by one, the rest of my friends appeared all with the "scars" of death on them.
I as well had a "scar" on my gut from the stab but theirs was worse Steve had lost his hand and left leg, Rick lost every limb he had, the violent kid lost his eyes and there was a whole where his heart should have been, Spanish boy had NO head, Ms. Apple was shredded in all sorts of places, and Sam... she... was well... Fine perfectly FINE! NO "SCARS" OF ANY SORT NONE AT ALL!!! She was apparently forced to watch as everyone was murdered and she almost managed to escape the school... almost...
She as I had assumed-as well as many others-raped along with Ms. Apple but she was alive at the time, which was the reason for her "scars". Sam was then hurt from the blackness her skin turned to the color of ashes and then nothing happened. We all assumed she was burnt or set on fire.
And then I woke.

Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans
Rhona Mitra looks pretty badass in her armor, but can "Underworld 3" really deliver the goods? Think about it. They're taking out a lot of the things that worked in the first two films: the modern setting, hybrids, gunplay, Kate Beckinsale in latex, etc. and replacing them with what looks like a costume drama. Obviously there's going to be action, but the budget will limit what they can do. I suspect we'll see the occasional skirmish but no bloodbaths on the battlefield. And we already know how Sonja and Lucian's relationship will turn out. I'm not seeing the audience grabber...

I Wanted To Believe
Sad to see the "X-Files" underperform at the box office with just 10 million over the weekend. Read somewhere that Chris Carter was under the gun to finish the script before the writer's strike. The trailer looked ho-hum. Kind of hard to believe that he didn't have a few polished "X-Files" screenplays tucked away for a rainy day. Looks like I won't be holding my breath for another installment.
A few weeks back, Stephen King made a dire prediction in "Entertainment Weekly" about the film's fate. His argument was that big studio genre films rarely work as well as the low budget variety. Brought up examples like "The Blair Witch Project", "Night of the Living Dead" and more recently, "The Strangers". Now I'm not trying to take a stab at one of my heroes, but what the heck is he talking about?
For every "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Blair Witch", there are scores of awful low budget flicks that make you wanna tear your eyes out. When so many are being thrown against the wall, obviously a few are gonna stick. I can appreciate the charm and ingenuity of no/low budget films, but how can the master storyteller not bring up the fact that a lot of it comes down to story -- and a good hook?
And it's not like studios are cranking out a ton of big budget horror flicks in the first place. "I Want To Believe" might have looked big, but it only cost around 30 million to make. Its poor opening weekend had more to do with the lack of a strong concept and lackluster marketing. Even the hardcore fans couldn't be bothered.

True Blood
HBO is pulling out all the stops for True Blood. Postcards with Sumerian text sent to horror fans, pseudo news reports with real reporters, vampire social networks, etc. But does all that stuff really work? How about more emphasis on the story, characters and relationships?
Vampires are tailor-made for soapy dramas, but no one has been able to pull it off since "Dark Shadows". "Kindred: The Embraced" and "Ultraviolet" (UK mini-series) had some potential.
There are some talented people behind this, but it could go either way...

Tonight He Comes
Simplyscripts has a link to an early draft of Hancock-- I think I understand why screenwriter Vincent Ngo declined an interview with the New York Times before the film was released, the script barely resembles the final product. "Tonight" plays out like a really, really dark episode of "Amazing Stories" -- if it aired on late night cable. And get this: Hancock isn't even the protagonist.
At the end of the day, it's hard to criticize the changes because audiences ate it up like gravy on a biscuit. Ngo's script, as good as it is, speaks to a niche audience and not the four quadrant behemoth. Still, I'd love to see "Tonight He Comes" as a graphic novel.

New Year's Day
"Fear Itself" finally had the twist ending that we've been expecting. Sort of. A lame twist is probably better than no twist at all, but this was a bit of a reach. Nothing like the power of zombie love, huh? Still, a better effort than previous eps.
This episode had a strong "Cloverfield" vibe, right down to the shaky cam in the moments of extreme terror.
BTW, why does Christian Slater's new show, "My Own Worst Enemy", remind me a lot of the BBC's "Jekyll"?

Script Alert!
Ain't It Cool News' very own Moriarty, aka Drew McWeeny, co-wrote the July 24th episode of "Fear Itself". He talks about "Skin and Bones" here and links to the actual teleplay -- which will only be online until the 24th. The script is actually a pretty good read, especially when you consider that it was completed in six days -- two of those six days were spent making revisions based on network notes. Cool insight into the process...

Resident Evil: Extinction
Hard to say how I feel about this film or franchise as a whole. I mean, they're entertaining on a basic level because they don't pretend to be anything more than popcorn flicks. No character arcs, twists, reversals -- who needs 'em? Just watch a Photoshopped Milla look badass as she slices and dices her way through zombies every ten minutes or so. Makes you think this screenwriting thing ain't half as hard as some of us make it out to be. Outta the way, writer boy! Let the director, stunt people and FX guys show you how to tell a story! I will say this much, the opening and closing scenes are pretty good bookmarks, the problem lies with all that stuff in the middle.

Rise: Blood Hunter
One of these days, I'm gonna do an entry about the things I know now, but wish I had known when I started screenwriting -- probably a good idea for a meme. Here's one of those lessons: Most people aren't receptive to genre stuff and it's next to impossible to win them over -- unless it's a big budget spectacle. Horror/Fantasy/Sci-Fi speaks primarily to a niche audience. "Battlestar Galactica" will never have "Grey's Anatomy" type ratings. Most folks couldn't pick Joss Whedon out of a line up. And just because "Iron Man" made over 300 million dollars, it doesn't mean that comic book shops across the country are now flooded with throngs of new customers. Although tiny, this audience is a huge component when it comes to creating buzz. Genre fans will sift through a lot of crap, in the hopes of finding a gem and let everyone know when they do; but the temptation to take them for granted and "broaden" the appeal of a film often leads to failure.
Vamps without fangs? A change like that alienates the people most likely to see the film. The casual viewer probably doesn't care one way or the other. To be fair, it worked in "The Hunger" and "Ultraviolet" (the UK mini-series) but the tone of those films were much different. "Rise: Blood Hunter" is basically "Kill Bill" with vampires, minus a whole lot of style, action and substance. Reporter gets too close to a story about a vampire club and gets turned. Reporter vows revenge. See Lucy Liu beat up and interrogate a vamp, hate what she's become, repeat until closing credits --- oh yeah, the guy from "The Shield" shows up and helps her take out the head vamp. That's the movie. Seriously. Maybe there's some great material in the unrated version, but I won't be checking it out anytime soon. My point isn't that we should ignore casual viewers/movie goers but to find a happy medium. Have a good idea of what the core fans like before making changes.

Gradient Hue
In Gradient Hue, Dreamland appears as a Tier 3 world. However, it is not a battle-focused world. Instead, Kirby is having trouble with various tasks and Gradient wants to help. For example, Kirby will be having trouble crossing a chasm, so Gradient has to hit blocks with Bladion to make them fall and fill in the chasm. Completing this world lets you play Strange New World rather than giving you a Halfcharm.
