Last week the EU's Foreign Affairs Council issued a statement about recent developments in what it called the "Middle East Peace Process." The EU stated that all parties must avoid acts which undermine confidence and the viability of a two-state solution. The statement showed how detached the European Union has become from the reality in Israel. The fact is that there has been no peace process at all since the Palestinian leadership decided to walk away from bilateral negotiations with Israel in 2009, a move that was the result of a calculated change in strategy in PA politics regarding Israel.

Cadro Vacation Packages
Cadro is a popular place to head to while you are in Ticino as many of the city's star attractions are close. Among the most interesting places to explore are the fabulous Parco Ciani and the fantastic Cantonal Art Museum. Two other popular spots that are located close by Cadro are the Piazza della Riforma and the San Lorenzo Cathedral.
If you're a fan of ice hockey, you might enjoy seeing Cadro favorites, the HC Lugano, take to the field in nearby Pista La Resega, Lugano. On game days follow the procession of black, white and yellow, to the stadium, then after the full-time hooter blows, join fellow sports lovers in the nearby pubs for a post-game drink.
When it's time to rest your weary head after checking out the many charms of Cadro, check in to one of the area's numerous accommodation options. If you're looking for a warm welcome and a good nights sleep it's hard to go past the Acquarello Swiss Quality Hotel, Lugano, the Lugano Dante Center Swiss Quality Hotel, and the popular Continental Parkhotel, Lugano.

Sleeping wrong, kinked neck, bumping your head, crawling under furniture or automobiles, painting the ceiling? Maybe you have been spending hours at your desk or computer doing taxes or other bookkeeping duties. Or if you are a student you might be working on research, studying for exams or reading.
All of these activities and others can give you a lot of tension in your neck and muscles of your upper back. The more tense you are the worse it can become. The tension can get to the point that you develop actual pains in the neck and back muscles. Eventually this could even give you a headache.
So what can you do to help give you a little relief from all that neck and muscle tension?
Well, a great massage would help, but many of us dont have the time to run to our massage therapist (oh, wouldnt that be great if we could though?).
Peppermint and Rosemary to the rescue! A simple blend of Peppermint and Rosemary mixed with any carrier oil (Sweet Almond oil is great as is Sunflower oil).
Simply put 2-3 drops of each into 1 tablespoon of carrier oil. Blend then use for massage. Massaging into the back of the neck and down on to the upper back and shoulders will be most welcome. For self massage, dont forget to massage your forehead and temple area too.
Both of these essential oils have great penetrating and heating (or cooling) properties and even with a slight back rub by your own two hands will help to relieve the tension. After a few minutes the tension you have developed will begin to ease and you will feel better.
If you can rest for a few minutes after you have applied this simple blend and give it a little while to work, youll feel the tension release. Even the smell of these two essential oils smell good and can make you feel more at ease.
Peppermint is energizing and Rosemary can help your memory and concentration. Wow! More pluses to help you as you continue your studies or work.
This blend can be applied as often as desired. Normally, you wont need to apply it more often than every 3-4 hours. Before you know it, the tension will be gone.
Hope you feel better soon! Oh yeah now its back to doing the bookkeeping for tax preparation for me!
PS. We have Peppermint and Rosemary Roll-on made up in an easy to use roll-on perfume applicator bottle. We have many other massage oil blends that we will make Fresh for You when you place an order.
They all work great on tight, sore and painful muscles. If Peppermint and Rosemary dont work for you please, try one of our massage oil blends some of those are available as Roll-ons too.

Decision, en banc
Last Month at the Federal Circuit - December 2010
Judges: Rader, Newman (concurring-in-part, dissenting-in-part), Lourie, Bryson, Gajarsa (dissenting), Linn, Dyk (dissenting), Prost, and Moore (author)
[Appealed from: D.D.C., Judge Kennedy]
In Hyatt v. Kappos, No. 07-1066 (Fed. Cir. Nov. 8, 2010) (en banc), the Federal Circuit vacated the district court's grant of SJ relating to claim unpatentability. The Court remanded for further proceedings that allow the patent applicant, Gilbert P. Hyatt ("Hyatt"), to present new evidence in a 35 U.S.C. § 145 action that he could have submitted during the earlier administrative proceedings. In doing so, the en banc Court reversed the stance of its panel and held that § 145 "imposes no limitation on an applicant's right to introduce new evidence before the district court, apart from the evidentiary limitations applicable to all civil actions contained in the Federal Rules of Evidence and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure." Slip op. at 5.
Hyatt is the sole named inventor of U.S. Patent Application No. 08/471,702, which relates to a computerized display system for processing image information. The patent examiner issued a final office action rejecting all claims on various grounds, including failure to comply with the written description requirement. Hyatt appealed to the Board, which affirmed numerous of the examiner's rejections. The Board later dismissed Hyatt's Request for Rehearing. In the proceedings before both the examiner and the Board, Hyatt presented evidence in an effort to satisfy the written description requirement.
Hyatt then filed a civil action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against the Director of the Patent Office ("Director") pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 145. The Director moved for SJ that the pending claims were invalid for failure to comply with the written description requirement. Hyatt opposed the motion and submitted a new written declaration in which he identified portions of the specification that one of skill in the art would understand to describe the limitations challenged by the Director. The district court determined that it could not consider Hyatt's new declaration and granted SJ in favor of the Director. Hyatt appealed.
The Federal Circuit agreed to hear the appeal en banc to determine, among other things: (1) whether there are any limitations on the admissibility of evidence in § 145 proceedings; and (2) what standard of review is applicable in § 145 cases.
The Court first considered the text of § 145, which provides a dissatisfied patent applicant "remedy by civil action" unless appeal has been taken to the Federal Circuit. 35 U.S.C. § 145. According to the Court, this statute provides no indication that a § 145 civil action is somehow different from a customary civil action, nor does it provide any unique rules of evidence. The Court also noted that § 145 makes clear that the civil action is distinct from an appeal, in which the applicant would be limited to the record before the PTO. Rather, the Court reasoned, the statute directs that the district court may "adjudge that such applicant is entitled to receive a patent for his invention . . . as the facts in the case appear." Id.
Next, the Federal Circuit turned to the lengthy legislative history of the statute. In particular, the Court considered § 4915 of the Revised Statutes, a predecessor to 35 U.S.C. § 145. The Court stated that proponents and opponents of § 4915 alike recognized, and conveyed to Congress, that the remedy by bill in equity allowed an applicant to introduce new evidence in the district court, regardless of whether that evidence had been provided to the PTO in earlier proceedings. Based on the legislative history, the Court reasoned that Congress intended that applicants would be free to introduce new evidence in § 145 proceedings subject only to the rules applicable in all civil actions, the Federal Rules of Evidence, and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Specifically, the Court rejected the argument that Congress intended that only evidence that could not have reasonably been presented to the PTO in the first instance should be admissible in § 145 proceedings.
The Federal Circuit further noted that no Supreme Court case had ever placed any limitations on the admissibility of evidence in a § 145 proceeding apart from the ordinary rules applicable to all civil actions. The Court found no support in Supreme Court precedent for allowing new evidence only if the evidence could not reasonably have been provided to the PTO.
Although the Court held that new evidence is generally admissible in a § 145 case, it also recognized that the proceedings before the PTO remain relevant in a § 145 action. First, the Federal Circuit explained that in adjudicating entitlement to a patent, the district court must consider the record before the PTO, as well as any new evidence admitted by the applicant. Second, although the Court noted that Hyatt did raise the written description issue before the PTO, it stated that "issues (and evidence relating to new issues) that were not raised in the Patent Office proceedings generally may not be raised in a § 145 proceeding." Slip op. at 29. Thus, the Court recast its holding and concluded that "consonant with the language of the statute, legislative history, and Supreme Court precedent, the only limitations on the admissibility of evidence in § 145 proceedings (for issues raised before the Patent Office) are the Federal Rules of Evidence and Civil Procedure." Id. at 30.
Even though district courts may be required to admit new evidence in § 145 cases, the Federal Circuit explained that district courts may consider the proceedings before, and findings of, the PTO in deciding what weight to afford an applicant's newly admitted evidence. The Court noted that, should the facts of a particular case cast suspicion on new evidence that an applicant failed to introduce before the PTO, the district court in a § 145 action would be within its discretion to give that evidence less weight.
Next, the Federal Circuit addressed the applicable standard of review in § 145 proceedings. The Court explained that, if the parties to a § 145 action do not introduce any new evidence before the district court, the court reviews the case on the same record presented to the agency and the reviewing court must apply the APA's substantial evidence standard to PTO findings of fact. But when new evidence is introduced, the Federal Circuit instructed that the district court is to act as a fact finder with respect to that new evidence and make de novo factual findings if the evidence conflicts with any related PTO finding. The Court recognized, however, that the district court must still consider the administrative record in making its de novo factual findings.
In a separate opinion concurring-in-part and dissenting-in-part, Judge Newman agreed that new evidence may be provided in a civil action brought under 35 U.S.C. § 145. Judge Newman, however, stated that issues in a § 145 proceeding should receive a de novo determination, whether or not new evidence is adduced in the district court. It is contrary to statute, Judge Newman noted, when the same deferential review is applied to both civil actions under § 145 and APA direct appeals to the Federal Circuit. "The statutory plan is designed to differ from such a duplicative procedure, not to create it." Newman op. at 2. Judge Newman further explained that "[t]he purpose of the section 145 proceeding is to achieve fresh judicial determination of patentability issues that had been decided by the Patent Office, and to conduct this determination de novo on the evidence before the court, whether or not the same evidence or all of it was before the examiner." Id. at 2-3.
In a separate dissenting opinion, which Judge Gajarsa joined, Judge Dyk stated that district court proceedings in § 145 actions should follow the established administrative law standard embodied in § 706 of the APA. Judge Dyk explained that the APA requires judicial review on the agency record and submission of all relevant evidence to the agency. While Judge Dyk agreed that § 145 contemplates the introduction of new evidence, he noted that this should only be allowed when agency procedures are inadequate. With regard to the PTO, Judge Dyk found that the agency procedures are inadequate only insofar as they do not provide for live testimony when it is deemed necessary. Judge Dyk noted that allowing a trial de novo in the district court denigrates the important expertise of the PTO. In addition, Judge Dyk wrote that the majority opinion invites applicants to deliberately withhold evidence from the PTO in favor of a more hospitable district court forum. Judge Dyk also warned that the majority's decision "reflects yet another misguided effort to craft special rules for patent cases that the Supreme Court in other cases has held to be impermissible." Dyk op. at 3.

Crimped hair is making a big comeback. But this post-80s go around is serving up some styles we've never seen before. What tops the list? Colorful crimped hair and crimped updos are the current new faves.
Crimped Hair Styles
Crimping in hair styling creates a fancy texture, builds up and helps to maintain volume of your hair. Fine crimping applied only to the roots is a nice solution for greasy roots – you can actually extend your time between shampoos this way. And here are ideas of hairstyles for crimped locks.
#1: Lavender Goddess Hair
If you're looking to get big hair (AKA notice-me hair) but are into something edgier than the classic wavy bombshell, this is for you. While a crimping iron with ridges is a nice addition to your collection of hairstyling tools, you can also achieve this with a straightener. Make ten or more tiny braids and then run your straightener over them.
#2: Multi-Toned Crimped Updo
Depending on the texture of your hair, you can achieve crimped hair with braids and no heat (curly girls are more likely to have success). Try sleeping in mini braids, either in all of your hair, or just a few braids for accent. If you're wondering how to style it in the morning, try a cool braided updo that shows off highlights.
#3: Unicorn Crown Updo
Looking through hair crimping pictures, we can also discover unusual hair color ideas. Have you seen anything this amazing? Probably not. A lot of work went into this look—from the five or so colored highlights through the mini crimping on long locks to the perfect fishtail crown. Dream hair, for sure.
#4: Textured Dutch Braid
What's really popular right now is pulling out your crimping iron before starting an updo. Not only does the texture achieved look cool and unexpected, but you also get the texture that makes your hair appear thicker, so that any braid or bun has a lot more volume that it would otherwise.
#5: Cool-Toned Textured Updo
To discover how to crimp hair (but not spend all day on it), a hair crimper used on accent pieces will be the fastest way. Because the ridges are designed for crimping, the tool will work way faster than any other method. You can choose to do only certain layers or streaks that will show in your updo.
#6: Berry Bliss Textured Crowns
Textured updos are stunning with just about any hair color, but if you happen to be experimenting with unusual hues at the moment, you should definitely try a style that will make your look even more unique. Create two crown braids next to each other by sectioning off the top hair and working on the crown braid at the hairline first.
#7: Crimped and Braided Layers
Long crimped locks don't have to be hidden in updos. If you love wearing your hair down but want to try something new, go for a half-up and half-down style that incorporates random crimped strands. This style has a voluminous topsy tail and a loose center braid.
#8: Mini-Crimped Fishtail Braids
These loose fishtail braids have so much volume. The micro crimped texture was added to the roots. Then after braiding, the hair was pulled and fanned to create the maximum thickness. The result is the soft, romantic look.
#9: Textured Fishtail Crown
Crimping all of the hair will result in a thicker braid with a cool-girl, modern vibe. Work in four or five sections to make it easier to manage. Do not brush your hair when braiding and styling it into this updo.
#10: Crimped Bubble Braid
If you want to know how to style crimped hair, don't limit yourself to banal tricks and tactics. This unusual look starts off with a french braid in the front and then devolves into a bubble braid with each section wrapped to create poofs. Girls with long hair should definitely get creative.
#11: Colorful Crimped Bob
Crimping hair is an easy way to add extra style to a carefree look. For those with fun, lighthearted personalities, this is a must-try. Here, only certain sections of the hair have been treated with a crimping iron to create accents that stand out.
#12: Messy Textured Rainbow Bob
If you want to achieve a wild look without a crimper, that's doable. Starting with naturally wavy hair, simply add face-framing micro-braids and leave in for a few hours (or run over them with a straightener). If your hair is straight, do a combination of super tiny braids and larger braids for a mix of textures.
#13: Micro-Crimped Tucked Braid
For maximum volume and elegance, try this style. Use a crimper with small ridges all over the hair. Next create a french fishtail braid with a loose tension and allow for some wispy strands. At the end, tuck the braid under or create a simple bun.
#14: Textured Braids and Ponytail
One styling option is a unique ponytail. After you crimp hair, make two zigzag parts. Then create three french braids that stop halfway. Next, simply grab a pony holder. You'll definitely want to tease and pull the pony to get some cute, playful volume.
#15: Crimped Formal Updo
While most crimped hairstyles tend to be fun and funky, they can also skew more formal. These looks have evolved to cover basically every event. Here, crimping has only been added to the mid shaft and ends. Then three braids were created and wrapped around each other.
#16: Classic Crimp with Center Part
It's really easy to learn how to crimp your hair. The best way to start is to take it slow and leave it down to show off all your hard work. Crimped hair looks really great with a center part. Do the bottom layers first, starting at the roots. Then work through the middle to top layers.
#17: Crimped Pigtail Braids
For short or medium length hair, crimping is not out of the question. This super cute style features all-over crimping, a center part, loose and girlish pigtail braids.
#18: Crimped Punky Pixie
Crimped hair also works on really short locks. This undercut-style pixie-bob gets a dose of urban chic with some shaved lines and micro crimping up on top. The texture definitely adds to the grungy appeal of the platinum hair.
#19: Knotted Textured Braid
This kind of crimping can be achieved with braids or with a hair crimping iron. If you want to do the no heat method, you'll just have to plan ahead! Once the crimping is in place, create a ribbon braid that can be actually done without a ribbon!
#20: Textured Five-Strand Braid
This stunning five strand braid boasts micro crimping that needs an iron to recreate. Section hair off and run a crimper over the top layer of each section. Then make a five-strand braid that will have your hair looking even thicker and lovelier than it already is.
Clearly, we're obsessed with crimped hair right now. How could we not be? So many creative hairstylists have invented completely new ways to think about crimping. Happy experimenting!

(The Hosting News) – iomart Group plc (AIM:IOM), has become one of the first cloud hosting companies in the world to install EMC® VMAX ® Cloud Edition platform, a self-service, enterprise-class as-a-service, cloud delivery platform, onsite in its data centre, giving its customers direct access to the world's most comprehensive range of powerful, trusted and smart storage.
With the VMAX Cloud Edition solution, iomart is able to move away from a traditional model of shared storage and offer a range of pre-engineered service levels to satisfy a wide range of workloads. With automatic service delivery features on-demand, clients benefit from enterprise-class storage and the flexibility to provide the right result needed for their applications.
VMAX Cloud Edition leverages capabilities found in the EMC® VMAX® array, which is trusted by Fortune 50 companies and many of the world's largest banks.
Angus MacSween, CEO of iomart Group plc, said: "We invested in VMAX Cloud Edition because we believe it's important that our customers can manage their storage needs according to their requirements rather than us dictating what they can have. Not only does this put our storage capabilities on a par with some of the world's biggest corporations, it gives our customers the ability to manage and move their workloads in any way they want through structured pricing bands."
Matthew Yeager, Director of Software Engineering EMEA for EMC, commented: "We are delighted that iomart, already identified as a progressive and innovative partner through our Velocity™ Service Provider programme, has decided to extend its leading-edge customer centric services with VMAX Cloud Edition. Collectively we are most successful when we work with partners like iomart who have a clear idea of the services they wish to offer their customers."
iomart Group plc extended its data centre network last week, acquiring dedicated server hosting company Redstation for £8million. The Group now provides bespoke, mission-critical cloud and managed hosting services from ten fully owned and managed data centres across the UK and has its own private high speed fibre network.

Jared's Bio
Before joining Mauldin Economics, Jared was one of Wall Street's preeminent risk-takers. After receiving his MBA from the University of San Francisco, he got hired by Wall Street giant Lehman Brothers where he worked from 2001 to 2008—first as an index arbitrage trader and then as head of the ETF trading desk. During this time, he was routinely trading over $1 billion a day in volume.
It was as an ETF trader that Jared learned to "trade macro," speculating in currencies, commodities, and interest rates, as well as plain-vanilla equities and options.

Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to public health and urgent action is needed to avoid a ''post-antibiotic era'' in which currently preventable injuries start to kill people, the World Health Organisation says.
The warning follows the release of the WHO's first global report on antibiotic resistance to common bacteria responsible for serious diseases, including pneumonia and bloodstream and urinary tract infections.
WHO assistant director-general for health security Dr Keiji Fukuda said the findings were highly concerning and documented resistance to ''last resort'' antibiotics in all regions of the world.
''Without urgent, co-ordinated action by many stakeholders, the world is headed for a post-antibiotic era, in which common infections and minor injuries which have been treatable for decades can once again kill,'' Dr Fukuda said.
''Unless we take significant actions to improve efforts to prevent infections and also change how we produce, prescribe and use antibiotics . . . the implications will be devastating.''
The report found resistance to last-resort drugs for Klebsiella pneumoniae, a common cause of pneumonia, had spread across the globe.
It also found widespread resistance to drugs used to treat E. Coli, a common cause of urinary tract infections.
The report said there were high levels of resistance to drugs for Staphylococcus aureus, known as golden staph, in the Western Pacific region, which includes Australia. Golden staph can cause a range of severe infections including bloodstream infections (septicaemia).
It also noted that Australia had recorded cases of resistance to last-resort antibiotics for Neisseria gonorrhoea, which causes gonorrhoea.
Dr Fukuda said the report marked the start of a global effort by the WHO to address antibiotic resistance, including developing tools and standards to better track the problem across the world.
The WHO report follows a Senate inquiry last year recommending Australia urgently establish a national centre to manage the threat of superbugs.
Doctors told the inquiry that while the bugs had once affected mostly people with weakened immune systems, such as cancer or transplant patients, healthy Australians were increasingly contracting superbugs through routine medical procedures due to the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Austin Hospital infectious diseases director Lindsay Grayson has warned that Australians are increasingly returning from overseas with multi-drug-resistant superbugs after stays in foreign hospitals, prompting warnings for hospitals to isolate high-risk patients to stop their spread.

Danny Gokey, Wife Expecting Third Child
Former American Idol star Danny Gokey and his wife Leyicet Peralta are expecting another baby, People reports.
Former American Idol star Danny Gokey and his wife Leyicet Peralta are expecting another baby, People reports.
You may be surprised just how many country singers got their start on American Idol.
Since American Idol debuted in 2002, there have been over two dozen country contestants, but only two winners. This You Think You Know Country? answers the question ... "What the heck happened to them all?"
Danny Gokey and his wife had even more reasons to be thankful this Thanksgiving. The couple welcomed their second child over the holiday weekend.
Danny Gokey and his wife Leyicet are expecting their second child! Gokey shared the news on Facebook with a video showing an ultrasound during which they discovered the sex of the baby.
Cute alert! Singer Danny Gokey shared the first photo of his brand new son Daniel Emanuel, born Jan. 20, which was his due date. The Season 8 'American Idol' finalist and wife Leyicet Peralta are first-time parents, and judging from this photo, it agrees with them.
Singer and former 'American Idol' Season 8 contestant Danny Gokey can add "father" to his resume. The singer and wife Leyicet welcomed their first child, a baby boy they named Daniel Emanuel Gokey, on Sunday, Jan. 20.
And baby makes three! Danny Gokey and his new bride, Leyicet, have announced they are expecting their first child together in the first part of the coming new year. The Gokeys made the baby news public over the weekend through the singer's official Facebook page.
'American Idol' alum Danny Gokey is kicking off his first Annual Run for Compassion, a group running the Nashville Marathon to benefit homeless families in Nashville. This run falls under umbrella of Gokey's organization Sophia's Heart Foundation, which he founded after his first wife Sophia died during surgery for congenital heart disease in 2008. Sophia passed just four weeks after the country star auditioned for 'American Idol.'
Didn't get the invite to Danny Gokey's wedding? We didn't either, but never fear. The singer and his new wife Leyicet Peralta welcome fans into their wedding with a new video, posted to Twitter by Gokey himself, which captures several significant moments from their big day. Danny and his bride swapped vows on Jan. 29 and now, they're giving us a window into their big day.

Wayne and Coleen Rooney welcome baby KlayPosted on: May 21, 2013 11:49:13
Wayne and Coleen Rooney have welcomed their second child this morning (May 21st).
The happy couple, who tied the knot in 2008, announced the birth of Klay Anthony Rooney earlier today and confirmed mother and baby are doing brilliantly.
Sharing the news on their respective Twitter profiles, the pair were inundated with messages from well-wishers, fans and fellow celebrities.
Wayne wrote: "Our Beautiful Son Klay Anthony Rooney was born at 2.11am, Weighing 7Ib 11.5 oz. Both Klay and Coleen are fine … We're all delighted."
Coleen's fellow WAGs Sheree Murphy and Alex Gerrard were among the senders, along with Danielle O'Hara - who is currently expecting her third baby.
Wayne's wife has not let her pregnancy stand in the way of her social life in recent weeks and was regularly spotted out and about with three-year-old Kai in the run-up to her labour.
She also joined in the celebrations at Old Trafford on May 12th, when Premier League champions Manchester United took on Swansea for their final home game of the season.

Melanie- Mama to my super hero daughter bravely battling brain cancer.
To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
and expecting 1/13!!!!
Congrats on your babe & for leaving him intact!
There were a few times I thought maybe my ds2 had a blister or something roundish, clear skin like. I left it alone. After a while I realized that it was just the way his skin was, like the skin down there near the tip is like that? I can't explain this very well.
Does he have any other symptoms? How is he during diaper changes or when you potty him (if you're doing EC)?
If he was born via c-section, has had abx., you've had them w/o doing work to counteract the abx, there is a history of yeast infections in you or your partner, allergies, asthma or other gut related issues, you may want to use infant probiotics on him (not adult ones - an infant until age 5-7 yo has different flora from adults), both internally & possibly on his skin. If his doctor is foreskin knowledgable then you may want to check w/ him/her. Also, Marilyn Milos is an RN & she started NOCIRC & she may be able to help w/ this. You can find her at the NOCIRC.org website.
Best wishes,

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!
I am Appealing a child support order. Among other issues, there was a material mistake made by the court and I am asking the order be considered void and or that it is voidable and should be voided (Civ. Rule 60.02). I briefed my argument. The father's attorney simultaneously filed a motion to dismiss and his reply brief. He asserts I don't have a claim (no procedural errors like service, filing ,etc). He has taken me to court over child support 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2012. What reason, other than harassment, would he have to file both of these together when relief is clearly "plausible" particularly in consideration of the equitable nature of child support?
It sounds like his attorney is doing his/her job, and was already successful. Wish you the best of luck but I'm sure your luck would improve with an attorney as well. Rephrased the practice area as "child support."
This attorney may accept avvo posters to this forum as clients, but any communication herein does not establish an attorney-client relationship, and is not intended to be legal advice.Ask a similar question
Thank you for your response.. yes his attorney is doing a good job and being well compensated. (I am on welfare, father makes twelve thousand a month) Father pays attorney in 2007,2008, 2010 and 2012 loses each time, now he wins because the court made a mistake his support gets reduced) I feel harassed because the father has paid his attorney at the expense of his son - who he has elected not to see. Are you offering your help?
I should stick to criminal law but could probably refer you to an attorney. I don't what fee options they might have but if you are interested I can provide the contact info. please email my office at email@example.com
I agree with Rodd. If you really can't afford counsel then seek representation through your local services agency. Good luck.
Do not rely on this information. My office accepts clients from Avvo, but this initial impression is not protected by any privilege and is not attorney-client communication. You should consult a lawyer promptly about your legal matter.Ask a similar question
Legal services I meant, i.e. legal aid.
Without knowing the basis of the appeal specifically or the facts as to what occurred, it is difficult to answer.. However, if the basis upon which the appeal is based has no merit, it can be dismiss, Asking to "void" a court order would certainly be an unusual request. Seeking to do so base on Minn. Rule of Civil Procedure 60,02 would be inappropriate since tat is a request that would have to be made at the District Court level before it could ever be raised on appeal. Based on the limited information, it would seem that you may not have followed proper procedure. You would be wise to retain counsel.
Disclaimer: Nothing in this email message creates an attorney client relationship absent a retainer agreement with this office. Any response to email inquiries should be considered general in nature and should not be relied upon as legal advice. You should always consult a lawyer in your state regarding your specific legal matter.Ask a similar question
Your post is not entirely clear. In order to provide you with a cogent response, a review of the full underlying facts and allissues would need to be made. I urge you to secure an attorney to assist you. Tricia Dwyer Esq.

(Adds closing share price)
NEW YORK, March 14 (Reuters) - Shares of E*Trade Financial Corp dropped 8.2 percent on Thursday on news that hedge fund Citadel LLC is dumping its stake in the bank and discount brokerage company.
Citadel was E*Trade's largest investor, holding 27.4 million shares, equal to 9.6 percent of the outstanding shares. Citadel said late on Wednesday that it was selling its stake in a secondary offering to Citigroup Inc. E*Trade will not receive any proceeds.
Shares of E*Trade, which closed Wednesday at $11.82, fell 97 cents on Thursday to close at $10.85.
In a report Thursday morning to clients titled "Bye Bye Baby-Citadel," a reference to E*Trade's "wise baby" advertisements, Compass Point Research & Trading analyst Michael Tarkan said investors were likely to "take some profits" during the day as E*Trade shares have risen 32 percent this year. He has a "neutral" rating on the stock. (Reporting by Jed Horowitz; editing by John Wallace and Matthew Lewis)

Therapy and Coaching FAQs
Sex Therapy is a modality of sexual healing to help people with sexual dysfunctions become sexually functional. This involves addressing the psychological barriers to sexual health and well-being as well as providing sexual education and correction of limiting or false beliefs around sex and sexuality. Once healing has occurred, Sex Coaching can then take the individual or client to greater sexual awareness and fulfillment.
What is Sex Coaching?
Sex Coaching is a pathway for sexual growth. Sex Coaching is a client-focused approach that works with sexually functional individuals and couples to enable them to deepen and expand their experience of sex, love and intimacy. Depending on the needs of the client, it may include ancient and esoteric teachings (see Tantra Teaching), sex education and instruction. The Coach helps the client to discover and enhance their own eroticism to create a love life that is one of ongoing growth and fulfillment.
What is Relationship Coaching?
Relationship coaching is a client-focused service where an essentially functional individual or couple is guided to create their desired relationship with effective support and information. The Coach enables the client(s) to become clear about their needs, hopes and desires, and to develop understandings and strategies to achieve these in a mutually supportive way. While past hurts and history may be addressed, the focus is primarily on moving forward, with the aim of enabling ongoing personal and relationship growth.
What is Tantra Teaching?
Tantra is a spiritual and energetic approach to sex and life that comes from ancient India. Along with the Taoists of China and Qidosha from North America, these approaches to sex, love and intimacy are broader and deeper than conventional western understandings. Through practices that include breathing, mindfulness, energy and sensual touch, you will learn to connect with your partner in a way that is real, deep, poetic and intensely beautiful.
How long do I/we need to see you for?
Some clients only need one or two sessions, but most need more. These sessions can be taken in close succession, or spread out. Some people continue to see me every month for a year or more, to make sure the transformation is real and fully part of their lives. It's up to you.
How much are your sessions?
A single session is $250 including GST. An initial double session for couples is $450 including GST. There are no rebates available.
When are you available for sessions?
I am available for sessions from Wednesday to Friday, first session is at 9am, last of the day at 6.30pm. (Other days may be possible by special arrangement for clients visiting from out of town.) Sessions last for 60 minutes.
Where are you located?In person sessions are offered at my clinic in Rozelle, Sydney. The address is 2/758 Darling Street, Rozelle (enter from Denison Street). There is plenty of street parking and the 440 and 445 buses stop out the front on Darling Street.

I can't believe how long it has been since the last post! Gosh, I am such a slacker! We have had one of the most special things happen this year. Our baby cousin, Jake, was born. Aunt Lauren and Uncle Wes are amazing parents and we love out little cousin and nephew! Also, this fall we went to NYC. I tood a promotion with my job and had to go to New Jersey for 3 weeks. Bryan stayed home with the girls for 3 weeks. He is such a good dad! Then he flew up with them and we sent to New York. We had such a great time! Ella Wesley asks all the time "when can we go back to New York City?" Life continues in our busy little family. We had wonderful holidays, Ella Wesley is LOVING MRA, Lucy is growing way to fast, and on and on. Lucy has become the funniest little child ever! Ella Wesley has become my sensitive little mother hen to Lucy. She is so protective of Lucy and her friends. She told me that one of her friends got hurt at school and it was b/c she wasn't watching her and helping her up the steps to the slide. She is so sweet! I have seen a complete transformation in her! Also, she has gotten recruited this year for her little gymnast self. At two weeks after her 5th birthday, she went to cheer camp and learned how to do a backhandspring by herself. She is loving gymnastics! Also, we did fall and spring soccer and she is quite the soccer player. We decided against t-ball this summer b/c she just didn't seem real interested in it last year. (Although now she keeps asking when t-ball starts). Also, we let her play basketball this year... she didn't have a clue what was going on! We are going to try to let her decide what she wants to do! I attended a Walk to Emmaus back in February. What an amazing experience. Bryan is going in a couple of weeks. I can't wait for him to have the same experience! I will do a better job of blogging! Promise!

Summer 09
I can't believe it has been so long since the last post. Such a fun fun summer! The highlight of our summer was a family trip to the beach with the Davis clan. All of us! Grammy, Poppa, Dick, Kaba, and Whit! We had a ball! Elizabeth was there to capture pictures of the rare occasion of us all getting vacation the same week! I feel so blessed to have such wonderfully supportive in-laws. Anyone that knows me has heard that no less than a thousand times. I have taken a new job! Started Aug. 1 with lots of home study and then big travel to New Jersey! I am not looking foward to this AT ALL! I am trying hard to convince Bryan to fly with the girls to New York to meet me one of the weekends, and I think we are almost there (fingers crossed). Lucy is getting so big. SHE IS HILARIOUS! We spend most of our time laughing at her! We have decided that we think she will be laid back and funny! She is such a jewel! Our big girl, Ella Wesley, started MRA this year. She has been going for a little over a week and she LOVES it! She fits right in and has made a ton of new friends! In fact, we have back to school night with her teacher tomorrow night. When I asked her what her teacher was going to say about her she replied..."her is gonna say that I am the sweetest one in the class... well maybe not the sweetest one, but I am sweet!"... what a honest little doll baby! Lucy's new thing is saying her name... and i don't EVER want to forget how this sounds... "WROOCY". It is precious.
Tuesday, June 23, 2009
Here we go...
There are so many precious, funny things that come out of Ella Wesley's mouth. I have yet to come up with a way to keep up with them, so maybe I will do this... put them on the blog. Lena always says, "you better write that down." She is so right... So here goes. Tonight, Bryan is playing church league softball, Lu is asleep and EW and i are rubbing each others feet on the couch. Just good ole quality time... and it goes like this... "mommy, when you eat too much do you get a baby in your tummy?" i kind of grin and just say "no." My mind is racing... not yet... i am not ready for this....and then she proceeds "well then how? .... mommy?........ how.... how.... how......mommy, how do you get a baby in your tummy?" oh my. I can't believe it is already this time. Lord, help me to answer these questions correctly. I love you, Ella Wesley, and your increasingly curious little independent self. And i couldn't be more proud to be your mommy!

Time for catch up!
There are so many pictures of the last month or so... I thought a new slide show was in order. Enjoy! I guess it's time to play catch up!!! This Davis crew has been crazy! Spring has been so much fun! Ella Wesley had her first dance recital! She was absolutely precious! We were all so proud of her! Also, she had her gymnastics exhibition! Again, she made us proud! We had a fabulous Mothers Day in Lexington and got to celebrate Whitney and Anna Kate's first birthdays together! We started playing t-ball again. Not real sure that this will be our sport of choice... but for now its fun! The most monumental thing that has happened is that Ella Wesley got on a bike with no training wheels and just rode it. We never taught her. She was so excited!!! This all happened on accident! So the very next day she was riding like she had been doing it for months! Little booger! Lucy is growing up oh so fast! She spent the night with Grammy and Poppa and they called to tell us that she asked to tee tee and they put her on the potty! She poo poo'd on the potty. Then, the very next night, she tee tee for us ! Since then, Mrs. Cordie has found her naked outside tee teeing! Funny little thing! We have been crazy with activities but we wouldn't have it any other way! I took Ella Wesley today to Grammy... it is time for their annual trip to the Memphis Zoo!!! She is so excited! Stay tuned for stories on that. I did hear that they went to ride gocarts tonight! They are spending the night with SUSU, Uncle Bill, and Brad! I am sure she is getting EVERYTHING in the world she might want! Maybe next year for Lucy! The rule is, no Memphis trip until you are potty trained!!! Lets see... what else... Ella Wesley finished her first year of real school this week! Crazy to think that! Oh my! Stay tuned! It is getting harder and harder to update regularly but I sure am trying!!! Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

Happy Anniversary to my hubby of 6 whole years today!!!!!!We celebrated this years anniversary at the Masters and had a ball!
Well, we had the opportunity of a LIFETIME this weekend. We were invited by Big Jake and Mimi to go to the Masters with them in Augusta, GA. We had a ball... a long car ride with our little munchkins, but something we will never forget. We got to see all of the bigtime golfers. Phil -e-baby Mickelson (my personal fave :)), Tiger, Greg Norman, Ernie Els, the 16 yr. old guy, Fuzzy(on his last trip to the masters), and the list goes on and on. Being around golf my whole life but never a golfer myself, I wasnt sure how into it I would be. Bryan and I both commented walking in on Friday that we felt kinda guilty b/c of all of the huge golfers that would give a million dollars to be there! We are hooked. Never again will we miss that tournament, on TV of course b/c we will probably never get that opportunity again. Not the typical Easter Sunday for us but we did die eggs, have an easter egg, and remember the real reason we were there. Thanks so much Big Jake and Mimi for a weekend we will never forget! We also got to spend the weekend with Uncle Wes and Aunt Lauren and the "peanut" growing in her belly!! YEAH!!! We are so excited!!!

I know, I know. I have been terrible at posting. We have been super busy and haven't been thinking a lot about the blog. I will do better. We had wonderful holidays and just ended a 7 weekend streak of something to do every weekend. Things are slowing down a little for us now. The girls are growing so fast. Ella Wesley has her ballet and tap dance recital May 9th. She is already so excited about it. She had dress rehearsal this past weekend while I was out of town. Daddy did a bang up job of getting here there, hair done and all, dressed in her tutu and ready for pictures.... (I think, I haven't seen the pics yet).
We celebrated a BIG Mardi Gras season in Natchez b/c Big Jake was the Grand Marshall. It was a big time!
Also, we had another wedding most recently. Ella Wesley was flower girl for the 4th time. She is becoming a little pro. She just turns it on. So funny! Lucy is still as sweet as ever. She is getting a little personality and will give EW a run for her money. The most precious part of my day is seeing those sweet sisters interact. They truly LOVE each other!They each want to see the other one first and they just hug and hug everyday. Ella Wesley takes such good care of her. I am so thankful that they have each other! I guess that is about it for now. We are looking foward to some quality family time in the near future and mommy and daddy are gonna try to have a real date! Hope everyone is well! Thanks for checking in on us!

I really don't know where in the world the time has gone... somewhere between thousands of birthday parties, Christmas parties, neighborhood parties, school parties, and just good old friend parties, WE ARE EXHAUSTED! Lucy has somewhere along the way, gotten her own social calendar as well and we have been swamped. We wouldn't have it any other way. Well, our big event was Ella Wesley turning 4. It is so hard to believe that our first baby turned 4 on November 30! She asked for a trampoline, and she got it. Note the pictures of daddy doing flips on it AND A TOETOUCH! Who ever said he was a man's man??? He can get as cute and girly and we want him too! We have had such a wonderful Holiday season and are elated that Christmas is just around the corner! Ella Wesley has become such a big girl and I spent Saturday with her at a cookie exchange for all of the K3's at JA... she was such a doll. She gave up her seat when a friend didn't have a chance to ride on the seesaw, she helped her friends put on their shoes and even told them which foot was the right one. She hugged every friend she saw and thanked the mother who hosted the party ALL ON HER OWN. It isn't very often that a working mother gets to see her child interact first hand with her peers. And, I must say, I was humbled by the love she showed everyone. We all know she is one "full of life" little girl and the way her sweet little spirit showed on Saturday made me ever so proud to be her mommy. I love you Ella Wesley. Thank you for loving others the way that you do. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you!

173742013 TrackChaser Week 28 Summary
Expand Messages
- Jul 18 4:40 AMTrackChasers:
(Weekly Listserve Update #133) New race track visits were reported once again this past week keeping the 2013 streak alive at 28 weeks out of 28 weeks. Twenty-two new track visits were added for ten different TrackChasers, all but one from the past week.
Roland Vanden Eynde added five new tracks for the second week in a row, as he continues on his North American journey. This week Roland added new tracks in Ontario, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Quebec. Roland got to meet Rick Young, Virginia Schuler, Chris Tyrrel, Bruce Spencer, and Rick Schneider for the first time during the week.
Also finishing up a long TrackChasing vacation was Gordy Killian. Gordy had eight new tracks during the previous week, and added four more this past week in Montana and Oregon to give him a total of 12 new tracks in a 12 day period during the trip. Looks like the bear has awakened from hibernation.
Guy Smith drove solo to Canada during midweek to meet Roland at Cornwall, then spent the weekend in Tennessee and Kentucky, adding three new tracks along the way last week. Pam Smith added the two weekend tracks.
Mike Knappenberger joined Roland on the road for six days giving up some new track possibilities to help a friend. That's the kind of man he is. Along the way, he did manage to see two new tracks out of the six races that they visited together. A cancellation at Saint Just cost them each another new track.
Nancy Brown added one new track in Michigan which became her 20th new track of the year. She is the seventh person to reach 20 new tracks in 2013, which ties the number of people from the group that saw 20 new tracks in 2012 and it's only mid July. I can almost guarantee we will top last year's mark. Others adding a single new track were Brian Hickey from Massachusetts in Tennessee, Edward Corrado from New York in Pennsyvania, Vince Sadowski from Florida in West Virginia, and Will White from Pennsylvania in Texas. For Will, it was his eighth new Texas track in the past three years. Edward also added a track from 2011 that was missing from his track list.
Finally, "Wannabee" Jeff Sands added one new track as the "Sands Watch" countdown number to 200 tracks is now 12.
Looks like tracks were added on six of the seven days of the week last week. We would have had new tracks all seven days except Gordy was rained out in Billings, MT on Monday.
Roland's new track in Connecticut, Vince's new track in West Virginia, and the Smiths track in Kentucky were firsts for 2013. I also missed Dave Garrison's visit to Ohio last week. The group has now covered 33 different states this year.
Each track visited this past week was already in the database, so no brand new tracks were discovered.
The 21 new tracks from last week (remember, one was from 2011) brings our total for the year to 374 by 35 people. That's not enough, we want more!

Fortunately insurer Centraal Beheer was behind the joke; "Just call us" [if anything goes wrong] was the pay-off. This is how simple advertising can be. Well done, DDB Amsterdam.

When I was a small child, around six years old, I would have really realistic and scary nightmares. They would repeat themselves too.
One of them consisted of my mother coming in to my room to kiss me goodnight and tuck me in, then she would leave and everything would be dark for some time. Then, a monster would come into the room, leaving the door ajar.
The floor between my door and my bed would expand to a great length and the monster would be right above my face, with bloody teeth.
It was extremely lanky and skinny, with long legs and long arms, but a normal sized body and a slightly big head. Come to think of it, this monster resembled a shinigami (or death god, for those who don't know) a little bit. At that point, I would wake up and run into my parents' room, crying about how I had a nightmare and whatnot.
There was another dream I always had that I can't remember too vividly, except for one part, where I was with the Cat In The Hat surfing down a tunnel of goo as he was biting gummy bears' limbs off. Usually, that wouldn't be too scary, but blood came out when he chewed on them and he looked much like a sad clown.
The nightmares I have always remembered though, and tried to stay away from so badly, are the ones about the shadow man. When I went to sleep as a child, I would get in the fetal position and face my nearest wall before I drifted to sleep. When I found myself in the dream world, I would be in that same exact position. I would look around for a while, and there was a sort of haze around my vision.
Everything in the distance would be blurry. I would look back at my wall to try and make it back to sleep, and then a shadowy figure that somewhat resembled the Monopoly game mascot (he looked as though he was wearing a suit and tie, and was cartoony in proportion and size) would slowly morph his way through the wall. He would point at me and yell words that seemed like they were in a different language. I couldn't wake up; my vision was locked on the evil shadow in front of me.
Eventually, I would wake from my slumber and tell my parents about my nightmare. After a few times of having this nightmare, my parents began to get worried. I was having this dream frequently now, and I was acting differently. I always checked the walls around me to make sure that the shadow man wasn't there. I was having the nightmare nearly every night, and sometimes I couldn't fall back to sleep out of fear that the shadow man would get me. In fact, that's what I told my parents as they were holding me, "I don't want the shadow man to get me, mommy... The shadow man is coming for me."
I stopped having the dreams for a few weeks, and I started to return to my normal self again. I no longer checked the walls for the shadow man, and I wouldn't have nightmares anymore. I felt more alive than I ever had been in my life; like a huge burden had been lifted from my shoulders. There was one night, however, that I will remember for the rest of my life.
This was the most vivid dream I've ever had, and it has stuck in my brain for ages. I fell asleep as usual, with a huge reassurance that the shadow man was no longer haunting my sleeping self. I woke up in the middle of the night, and I was very thirsty. I could control my body, so I figured it was real life. I rolled out of bed and looked at my wall, confident with myself that I no longer dreamed of the shadow man.
To my surprise, he popped out of the wall again, yelling strange words to me. I recognized some of them, even though they were distorted and completely out of context from each other. A few of the words he shouted were "Apple, Candy, Trust, Silent, Axe, Fruit, and Tree". They made no sense, but it scared me still. I ran to my parents' bedroom, but they were not there. In place of them were two shadow men, lying in their place.
I started panicking, and I ran out into the living room. My parents were there, completely calm as my house changed colours and slightly twisted. I quickly told them about the shadow men everywhere, but they seemed like they could care less about them. One popped up on the wall right below the ceiling, and I pointed to him and yelled "There he is dad, there he is!" My dad simply looked up and said he saw nothing. I was begging my parents to help me, but they wouldn't do anything and continued watching a blank TV screen.
I was still convinced this was real, and I tried opening the doors out of my house to get out. They were all locked, and I could do nothing to escape the living room. I ran over to the couch and curled up, scared so bad I was sweating and I could hardly breathe. I kept yelling "Go away, GO AWAY!" but nothing could stop the shadow man from yelling at me. He was on the inside of my eyelids as I closed them; I could see him here, there, everywhere. Everything went silent, and I heard just softly spoken words:
"Turn Away."
I blacked out. When I woke up the next morning, I was no longer in my bed, but I was on the couch, right where I was when I huddled up in the nightmare before. I told my parents about everything, but they had no knowledge of anything that happened. They said that they had not watched any TV last night, and they had gone straight to bed and they never even heard a peep from me. This chilled me down to the bone. Everything was so vivid; it had to have been real. But the only thing that had changed was that I had woken up on the couch instead of in my bed. Everything was normal.
That night, I was so afraid to fall asleep that I couldn't. I just played with my toys until the morning came. The next night, I got busted for playing with my toys and my parents took them all away from me. I curled up and faced the wall to sleep as usual, and closed my eyes. After a few seconds, I remembered the words I heard from two nights before, telling me to turn away.
I heeded this advice as best as I could, and faced away from the wall as I fell asleep. I haven't had another encounter with the shadow man since then, and I still never face the wall nearest to me when I sleep. You would think after all these years, I would grow up and just move on, but no. I am still scared of that shadow man. I can't put a finger on what exactly scares me about him, but there is something there that scares me to this day that urges me to turn away.

FBI unlocks US terrorist's iPhone
The FBI has successfully used a mystery technique without Apple's help to break into an iPhone linked to the gunman in a California mass shooting.
The surprise development effectively ends a court battle between Apple and the Obama administration.
The US government told a court that it had accessed data on gunman Syed Farook's iPhone and no longer requires Apple's assistance.
Farook and his wife died in a gun battle with police after killing 14 people in San Bernardino, California, in December.
In response, Apple said that it will continue to increase the security of its products.
While saying it will still provide some help to the government "as we have done all along" the company reiterated its position that the government's demand was wrong.
"This case should never have been brought," Apple said.
A US magistrate last month ordered Apple to provide the FBI with software to help it hack into Farook's work-issued iPhone.
The order sparked a debate pitting digital privacy rights against national security concerns.
