Many Many Thanks!8:30 AM
I am so late on this but have so many people to thank so better late than never right?
One of my readers, Kara, found out that I was going to come to Oahu (where she lives) in October and offered to send me a helpful book of all the fun shopping areas. What she ended up sending me was the most wonderful package of goodies! She even included magazines and took them time to put post it notes of all the things she thought I would love. Isn't that the sweetest? Adore you Kara and can not wait to meet you in a few weeks!
Candi of Candace Rose sent me one of her beautiful rose photographs and such a nice note on one of her custom photocards. Candi, you are so sweet, thank you, thank you! She is currently running a special in her etsy shop, purchase any 8.5 x 11 print, and receive a FREE 4 x 6 photo note card! These cards are great because you can either use them as a note card, or can frame the photos afterward! Available at Dolce Chic/Candace Rose Etsy
I've also been the lucky winner of a few giveaways.
Awhile back I won these Paris Hilton shoes from Savvy Mode. They are totally adorable and surprisingly comfortable for someone like me with extremely picky feet. I have yet to wear them out, am waiting for an occasion to wear a sassy dress with these sassy shoes!
And thank you to Diane from Snapshot Fashion as I won these fun velvet leggings! They are really warm, I can't wait to wear them during the winter.

According to Fox News, NASCAR has handed down an indefinite ban from all series events and a $2,500 fine to Kelly Heaphy, girlfriend of Camping World Truck Series driver Mike Skeen. Heaphy open-hand slapped her boyfriend's rival, Max Papis, after Sunday's race.

More than a few NASCAR fans will own up to the fact that the on-track altercations are a big draw for the series; rubbin', son, is racin' and all of that. But it's still an event out of the ordinary weekend when that kind of aggression turns into shenanigans outside of the racecars. And it's more extraordinary still when drivers' loved ones get into the mix.
Tony Stewart out 'indefinitely' after leg surgery

Tony Stewart's passion for racing is likely going to prevent him from having a hope of capturing his fourth Sprint Cup Championship. Stewart currently sits eleventh in the championship, but after a second surgery for the broken leg he suffered in a sprint car crash earlier this week, his second wreck in less than two weeks, Stewart-Haas Racing says the 42-year-old veteran will be out of the car "indefinitely," according to USA Today.

from Rogue Money:
A few months ago, the largest public and private pension funds announced that they were so underfunded that they would have to begin cutting benefits, or in the case of Central State Pension Fund, even cut payments to retirees altogether. But this now appears to be just the start of a worldwide pension collapse thanks mostly to the actions of global central banks in their decisions to pick a few winners to the detriment of everyone else.
The Central States Pension Fund has no new plan to avoid insolvency, fund director Thomas Nyhan said this week. Without government funding, the fund will run out of money in 10 years, he said.
At that time, pension benefits for about 407,000 people could be reduced to "virtually nothing," he told workers and retirees in a letter sent Friday.
In a last-ditch effort, the Central States Pension Plan sought government approval to partially reduce the pensions of 115,000 retirees and the future benefits for 155,000 current workers. The proposed cuts were steep, as much as 60% for some, but it wasn't enough. Earlier this month, the Treasury Department rejected the plan because it found that it would not actually head off insolvency.
The fund could submit a new plan, but decided this week that there's no other way to successfully save the fund and comply with the law. The cuts needed would be too severe.
— CNN Money
This announcement was from back in May, but here in the last week of August, two new critical reports show that the problems in the global pension arena are not only limited to a segregated few, but are occurring fast and furious around the world.
World's Biggest Pension Fund (Japan) Hit with a $52 Billion Loss
"Japan's Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) has posted a loss of $52 billion for April to June, following the tumbling Tokyo stock market and the yen's surge.
The value of the fund's assets dropped $1.3 trillion last quarter, wiping out all the gains GPIF made since October 2014, when it revised its investment strategy and put more money into stocks and foreign bonds.
The decline is another disappointment for the fund after a reported annual loss of 3.8 percent for the year ended in March, the worst performance since the financial crisis in 2008.
Concerns over the US economic outlook as well as UK's vote to quit the European Union significantly hurt global equity markets, boosting demand for Japanese currency which was seen as a haven for investors in a time of economic uncertainty.
As a result, the yen surged against other currencies, reducing the value of overseas assets by 7.8 percent.
— Russia Today
So just within the past three months we have seen the world's largest pension fund, and America's two largest public and private funds experience losses so dire to their capital that they are beginning to cut promised benefits to current and soon to be retirees.
But it certainly doesn't stop there, and in something that took place on Friday in the state of Illinois, the problem is now bringing the taxpayer into the mix at a time when the economy is ready to fall into the next recession.

One of the more common questions people ask when they join is "What should I wear?" While basic workout clothing is acceptable, there are some tips to wearing clothing to get the most out of the workout!
- T-shirts: Preferably something that breathes well, but nothing too loose.
- Shorts: Something comfortable that gives you a good range of motion while not being too loose.
- Shoes: A comfortable pair of shoes that fit snugly and clean, dry socks! We don't want your foot slipping around inside the shoe if we can help it.
- We also recommend compression shorts (spandex) underneath your workout shorts.
You'll notice a lot of references to clothing not being too loose. That's because the sliding of the seat on the monorail is notorious for catching loose clothing and screeching to a halt which is never fun and could also damage the clothing!
If you have any questions, just ask!

|Kitsu Yojireru
Kitsu Yojireru was a shugenja and yoriki of the Lion Clan.
Hunting Jama Suru Edit
In 709 [1] along with fellow Emerald Magistrate Isawa Shokan and others, Yojireru hunted down Jama Suru in Kuni Nikoma's laboratory. [2] [3]
Death Edit
One year later, [1] these yoriki were hunting down the now corrupted Shokan into the Shadowlands, but the whole team was killed by their old companion, now calling himself Shokansuru and their souls were captured. Many years later in the twelfth century, Shokansuru used Yojireru's soul to summon the fearsome Yojireru no Oni. [2]

Knox Area Rescue Ministries (KARM) in Knoxville, Tennessee wanted to
create an entry point for their facility that would be both inviting and
functional. KARM has been serving those in need of shelter for over 75
years. The NaNew's Courtyard was designed to be a place of rest for
those seeking shelter as well as an entry point into the shelter itself.
The goal was to allow the work of the mission to occur both inside and
outside, opening the mission to the neighborhood as well as improving
the streetscape.
The first area is a welcoming place of rest with shade trees and
benches. The benches are made of pre-cast concrete which allows for
seating in the area which also doubles as an amphitheater. This can be
used for entertaining and events on the site. Part of the facility is
used to check bags and luggage for the patrons of the shelter. The bag
storage area has places for up to 236 users. This storage area is secure
and allows for easy check-in and check-out.
The second area has tables with seating that can be used during outdoor
refreshments and entertaining. These one-piece concrete units are very
durable and are able to withstand the exposure to weather all year long.
The space also has views of the covered stage area and can be used as
part of the amphitheater.
The building itself has a total of 1,026 square feet which includes the
bag storage area, rest rooms and pre-prepared concession service area.
There is a total of 2,298 square feet under roof when you include the
stage area. The project was recognized by Keep Knoxville Beautiful with
an Orchid Award in 2014 and by the Tennessee Concrete Association in
2014 for Best Concrete Finishing.

Something New: Peas in a Pod (make/remake?)
MAKE: I free-styled these little peas in a pod after seeing a cute 'Give peas a chance' t-shirt. The peas took a bit of thought, trying to sew flat pieces of fabric into a sphere. In fact, I think only one is vaguely spherical; the others are flat, squashed and bulging in the middle because I wasn't bold enough with my seam allowances. But they're cute, regardless of their imperfections, and perfectly serviable as 'peas'. I'm thinking of stitching faces on them but am hesitant to meddle with their plainness.
UNMAKE: The 'pod' is a mess. At first I was thinking I might zip it shut, rather like a pencil case. However, the idea of hand-stitching a zipper gives me no pleasure. My fall-back idea was to create a tight pocket of sorts to squish the peas into but, as you can see, there's really nothing tight about it. Back to the drawing board, I think. I may try and stitch the ends of the pod to tighten the sloppy sides; the more likely scenario is I'll be pulling it apart or starting from scratch again. I still have a small mountain of this fuzzy green fleece.

It has only been a few days since I had to make the hardest decision of my life and end your suffering. I hope that you know I only did it so that you would not have to suffer anymore. I never wanted to lose you and these past few days have been so, so hard. I miss how you would jump on the bed and snuggle with your mom and me after I took my shower in the mornings. I miss how we would have our special cuddle time when I would get home from work every single day. I miss how you would get so excited when mommy would get home. I miss how you would snuggle up next to mommy on the couch and lay your head on her feet. I miss how you would jump up on the bed at night and lay with us until it was time to go to sleep... and occasionally, you would fall asleep there in our arms. I miss everything about you... You were so much more than a pet, you were part of our family and taught us so much throughout the years. You loved us so much and asked nothing in return. You wanted to make us happy in every way possible and succeeded more that you will ever know. I thank God for sending you into my life and for the time we had... I know that you are my fur angel now and will always be watching over mommy and me. I miss you so much, but you must know that you will never be forgotten. I love you so much pup pup!

According to Mosby, "Any estimate
of JPM's ultimate exposure from lawsuits on the private label side is a real guess." "They are dealing with five levels: Fannie, Freddie, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), FHFA and private label. JPMorgan wants to get through the first four of those, and then be left with the private label stuff they have to fight for the next several years," he says. With home prices continuing to rise Mosby says "a lot of those private label securities are boing to perform well enough that the investors' appetite to go through that battle is probably going to be less."

By Julie Schmit, USA TODAY
GULFPORT, Miss. Five years ago, Hurricane Katrina took the 20-year-old office building that housed Ship Island Excursions, destroying it in no time.
Three years later, Hurricane Gustav took the trailer brought in to replace the office.
Now, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill threatens the very survival of the company that has sustained four generations of the Skrmetta family here, on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico.
"It could ruin our business," says co-owner Louis Skrmetta, 54, who's seen his income — from ferrying vacationers between the Mississippi coast and a pristine white sand island beach 11 miles into the Gulf — dive by 60% since oil started spilling into the Gulf of Mexico three weeks ago.
Skrmetta is one of tens of thousands of Gulf Coast business owners and workers whose livelihoods have been or could be hurt by the oil spill, which has defied efforts to be capped.
ANOTHER PROBLEM: Shortage of booms to contain the spilled oil
INTERACTIVE MAP: Oil spill growing in the gulf
From Louisiana to Florida, optimism and fear among hoteliers, fishermen and tour boat captains rises and falls with the wind, which pushes the massive slick in the Gulf of Mexico this way or that — toward their livelihoods or away from them. While the national economic impact is likely to be small, economists say, the oil slick could devastate the Gulf Coast tourism and the seafood industry that had expected a rebound to pre-Katrina health this summer.
"We hadn't turned the corner yet. But we could see it. Now, it's a little farther away," says Richard Forester, executive director of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Since the BP-leased oil rig exploded April 20, an estimated 4 million gallons of oil have flowed into the Gulf. Boom — floating barriers to protect beaches and marshland — is now strung for dozens of miles along the coast. Oil has landed on islands off the coast of Louisiana. Tar balls believed to be from the well washed up on one Alabama island. But the oil has, so far, spared beaches in Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. "Pray for our Gulf," reads one billboard at an animal hospital off U.S. Highway 90, which runs along the Gulf Coast shores.
Skrmetta isn't hopeful. News coverage of the spill has scared tourists away. On Mother's Day, phones at Skrmetta's company, Ship Island Excursions, rang 20 times before 10 a.m.
Most callers wanted to know if the boat was still running to Ship Island, a question they wouldn't ask if the oil slick wasn't looming offshore.
"This is our worst nightmare unfolding," Skrmetta says. "It's beautiful out right now. But how do you downplay the fact that we've got a well gushing oil into the water out there?"
Impact slowly mounts
Even though the leak has spewed for three weeks, the national economic impact so far is "almost imperceptible," says IHS Global Insight chief economist Nariman Behravesh.
The well wasn't producing oil for consumption yet. The spill isn't big enough to drive up gas prices, says analyst Tom Kloza of the Oil Price Information Service. It may curtail expansion plans for offshore oil drilling, but that won't affect oil supplies for years. And the spill has had no impact on shipping lanes in the region that carry 6,000 vessels a year packed with imports and exports such as coffee, rubber and grain, says Port of New Orleans spokesman Chris Bonura.
Yet if the spill goes on for months, and oil lands on beaches in the Gulf Coast and gets spread by Gulf of Mexico currents closer to Florida or even around its southern tip, "We're looking at a major economic disaster," said Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., at a Senate hearing Tuesday on impacts of the spill. Florida has a $65 billion tourism industry.
VIDEO: Crisis in the Gulf
FULL COVERAGE: Stories, photos, graphics and more
Already, the spill has hit the region's $2.4 billion seafood industry. Key shrimp and oyster fishing areas have been closed, pushing prices higher. The Gulf produces 73% of the nation's domestically produced shrimp and 59% of its oysters, says the National Marine Fisheries Service.
Last week, wholesale shrimp prices were up 12% from a year ago at the Chicago-area Worldwide Shrimp, says wholesaler John Appelbaum. He sold three times as much shrimp than a year ago as grocers and restaurants snapped up supplies fearing they'd dry up in coming months as the oil spread. "There's a hysteria among buyers," Appelbaum says. "It's like it's the last shrimp dinner they'll eat."
Oyster prices soared, too — 10% to 20% in the past two weeks, says Chris Nelson, 47, vice president of the Nelson family-owned Bon Secour Fisheries in Bon Secour, Ala.
Because of the spill, fishermen can't get to key areas. Bon Secour's oyster supplies are down about 30% to 50%, Nelson says. The company employs 100 people, who now don't know, week to week, how long their jobs will last.
"This is having a severe impact on me, and it could be long-term if I lose market share that I have to scrape back," Nelson says. Like Skrmetta, he's joined one of dozens of lawsuits that've been filed against British energy giant BP, which owns the well, and other companies involved in the spill.
Given that about one-third of Louisiana's oyster-fishing areas have been shut because of the spill, oyster processor and distributor P&J Oyster in New Orleans has also had oyster supplies reduced.
Owner Al Sunseri says he wouldn't be surprised to soon run short. If oil gets into oyster estuaries, which Sunseri says is almost inevitable, supplies could be hurt for years. The 134-year-old P&J — which employs 25 and processes 300,000 oysters a week for customers throughout Louisiana — can only watch and wait.
"All we do is sell oysters," Sunseri says. "That's all we've ever done."
We're open for business
The Gulf Coast supports a $20 billion tourism industry, including casinos in Mississippi, dive shops in the Florida Panhandle and people like Ron Carter, 76, owner of Beach Bums Parasail and Jet Ski, which rents equipment on a Mississippi beach.
"This baby may blow right on past," Carter says, noting the winds, on one particular day, were sending the slick farther to the west.
Tourism officials east of Louisiana are hoping he's right. They're making it clear that they are still open for business.
Sterling Resorts, which rents out condos from Biloxi, Miss., to Panama City, Fla., has put cameras on beaches to broadcast images to its website. Sterling's also rolled out a "clean beach" booking guarantee in which customers can cancel reservations, without penalty, should beaches be closed. "It's allowing our guests peace of mind," says Ron Mote, vice president of operations. Before Sterling gave that assurance, "The phones stopped ringing for new bookings," he says.
With bookings for the summer off about 1% to 2% since the spill started, the Alabama cities of Orange Beach and Gulf Shores are readying a $1.5 million marketing campaign to target its key markets in Atlanta, Nashville and elsewhere. The campaign will say, "Alabama's beaches are as beautiful as they've ever been," says Lee Sentell, Alabama's tourism director. If that changes, the ads "will be suspended," Sentell says.
Officials are also keen to play up the positive. Even if oil hits the beaches, Mississippi's 13 casinos, the No. 1 tourist draw for the region, will still be open, tourism official Forester says. "There won't be oil in the casinos or on the golf courses," he says.
Seeking BP claim money
The containment and cleanup efforts have put some replacement cash into the local economy. BP says it has paid $3.5 million in claims to Gulf businesses so far and taken in more than 4,700 claims. BP's also spent $350 million on cleanup, which has barely begun, and hired 13,800 people across the Gulf states to enlist in the effort.
Rooms at the Empire and Venice inns near staging areas in Louisiana for cleanup crews have been booked for weeks, an unusual occurrence. Five new housekeepers were hired, says Melissa Taylor, assistant manager.
Mike Moore, captain of Strictly Business Fishing in Biloxi, filed a claim for what he estimates is a 50% drop in his tour and fishing businesses. BP called him back four days later and asked to see his tax returns. "I haven't got a negative response yet," Moore says. "On TV, they've (BP) been saying that they'll make it right."
George Pelaez, owner of the 78-foot Joka's Wild fishing yacht, is less convinced. He runs two and three-day recreational fishing trips to the Chandeleur Islands off Louisiana, one of the first areas closed because of the spill. Pelaez had 40 trips planned this year to the area, described in a fishing guide as home to some of the best fishing for speckled trout and redfish "on the planet." Now, Pelaez is canceling on his customers as the days tick off. If the spill takes weeks or even months to stop, Pelaez fears that BP will shift blame to other companies — and attempt to shift payouts, too. "They'll be seeing lawsuits from the Florida Keys to Brownsville, Texas," Pelaez says.
An unpredictable future
Terry McCall hopes to make the best of a bad situation. He hopes to work for BP.
The 61-year-old shrimper, owner of the 48-foot Loco N Motion, received $5,000 from BP for lost income because of closed shrimping areas. McCall says he'd make $2,000 a day if BP decides to enlist his boat in the cleanup. That's more than McCall makes on an average day of shrimping but less than on a great one.
"But you gotta get the call," McCall says, pointing to the boat next to his at the harbor in Venice. "That one's on the payroll," he says, along with one out of three others on his dock.
McCall has also filed a claim with BP for other lost income and may get a loan from the Small Business Administration.
Instead of pulling shrimp out of the Gulf of Mexico, the shrimper, clad in ragged jean shorts and T-shirt, was recently pulling tax forms out of a file to show an SBA representative who'd set up shop at the harbor.
McCall's boat was sunk by Katrina and a neat water line separates light wood from dark in the boat's cabin. McCall doesn't think the oil spill will sink him. But he's not sure of much. "Nobody would've thought this would've been in our future," he says.

Wunderman Sydney has created what is believed to be another world first initiative as part of this year's Earth Hour campaign. 'Plant Spikes' follows last year's multi award-winning augmented reality project 'Earth in Your Hands' that encouraged more than 35000 people to create a 3D Earth. The 2010 initiative has opened a new media channel aimed at businesses around the country. Plant Spikes is a low-budget environmentally friendly way to reach staff in office buildings and encourage them to get their businesses supporting Earth Hour. To penetrate offices and get maximum impact, Wunderman chose office greenery to carry this year's Earth Hour message. Their solution was to create spikes that could be "planted" into office pot plants, distributed by plant hire companies during usual watering rounds. In what could be a world first, Wunderman and STI Lilyfield developed a new ink containing natural plant fertiliser that is

What is her name?
I love her high heels, but I highly doubt a professional cab driver would spend all day driving around in stilettos. Sure, she wouldn't spend much of her time walking. But why wear such fancy footwear, if you are (a) not going to strut them around and (b) limiting the surface area she'd have to press the pedals? A driver would want to be sure-footed during her rounds.
He says " I travel in these cabs all the time" then randomly says " aw shit I don't have cash don't taxis take cards?" Ahaha bad acting lol memorize your script champ
I'm booking her for a ride ...and it'll definitely be a fucking long one! ;-)

It is the time of year in pro tennis when doubles players start planning their dance cards for the next season, a sort of annual musical chairs of partners.
The big news out of Shanghai, site of the Masters 1000 event this week, is that the current world No. 2 team, Daniel Nestor of Toronto and Nenad Zimonjic of Serbia, will be ending their three-year partnership after the ATP World Tour Finals in London in late November.
After piling up five titles, including the French Open, in the first six months of 2010, Nestor, 38, and Zimonjic, 34, are winless at their past eight events and have not reached a final.
"I think it's a good move," Nestor said. "It came from him [Zimonjic]but it's something I've definitely thought about, too. Unfortunately, I never acted on it because I didn't see better options."
Both players, co-ranked No. 3 in the ATP's individual doubles rankings behind co-No. 1 Bob and Mike Bryan of the United States, have lined up new partners for 2011. Nestor will play with Max Mirnyi of Belarus while Zimonjic plans to team with Frenchman Michael Llodra, a left-hander like Nestor.
"Nenad wanted to play with Llodra for obvious reasons," Nestor said. "He's a very good player. He's a little bit younger [30]and has a little more firepower and a big serve."
Nestor has earned 21 of his 69 career titles with Zimonjic, including Wimbledon in 2008 and 2009. The majority of his wins, 40, came with long-time partner Mark Knowles of the Bahamas.
The Nestor-Zimonjic pairing may have begun to unravel when, as two-time defending champions, they were upset 7-5, 5-7, 7-6 (4), 6-7 (3), 8-6 by big-serving British wild cards Chris Eaton and Dominic Inglot in the second round at Wimbledon.
"We've been battling some inconsistency this year," Nestor said. "In years past, we'd struggle to get through the first round, but when we did we'd start rolling. But for the last few tournaments it's been a different trend. We've gotten through but then lost the next matches."
Mirnyi, 33, has won four Grand Slam titles and, like Nestor, has been ranked No. 1 (2003) in the ATP's individual doubles rankings. Currently, he and partner Mahesh Bhupathi of India are No. 9 in the ATP team standings. Mirnyi is No. 14 in the individual rankings.
"It's not like there's a whole lot of guys sitting there waiting, guys you can win a Grand Slam with," said six-time Grand Slam champion Nestor about finding a new partner such as the 6-foot-5 Mirnyi. "Max has always been someone that I've thought about playing with. He's very level-headed. On the court he's got a good personality, nothing fazes him. Even if he's in the right and there's a bad call, you're not going to see him breaking racquets."
Mirnyi's size and power, similar to Zimonjic, was a major factor in Nestor's choice. "It's not necessarily always doubles [skills]the way the game is played these days," he said. "It's more about who hits harder and who serves bigger."
Nestor and Zimonjic will play out the rest of 2010 season at events in Shanghai, Vienna, Basel, Switzerland, Paris and London.
They will hope to get a jolt from the pending end of their partnership. In 2007, a month after Nestor initiated an acrimonious split with Knowles, they won the French Open.

Siduri Sabitu
Siduri Sabitu was a Child of Gaia living during the time of ancient Sumeria. When the king, Gilgamesh, was offered the Embrace from the Kindred, she got him to refuse by showing him the most delightful pleasures of life, and thus Gilgamesh not only rejected the Embrace, he organized human resistance against the Kindred. It is said that humans carry their inborn suspicion of vampires due directly to her actions.[1]
In real life, Siduri was the Babylonian goddess of wine, beer, merry-making, and wisdom. In the Old Babylonian version of the Epic of Gilgamesh, she attempts to dissuade Gilgamesh in his quest for immortality, urging him to be content with the simple pleasures of life (Gilgamesh, whither are you wandering? Life, which you look for, you will never find. For when the gods created man, they let death be his share, and life withheld in their own hands. Gilgamesh, fill your belly. Day and night make merry. Let days be full of joy, dance and make music day and night. And wear fresh clothes. And wash your head and bathe. Look at the child that is holding your hand, and let your wife delight in your embrace. These things alone are the concern of men).[2]

The Abbott government's plan to increase divorce application charges by $350 from July 1 faces a rocky break up of its own: the Greens are confident they can strike the fee hike down in the Senate.
The government announced a range of Federal Circuit, Federal and Family Court fee increases in the May Budget, including raising the cost of divorce applications from $845 to $1195. Subpoena fees will go up from $55 to $120.
These changes, which have been criticised by lawyers as "cynical" and a "heavy blow to access to justice" are due to raise $87.4 million over four years. Of this, $22.5 million will go to "streamlining" the courts, while $30 million will refurbish court buildings.
The Greens' legal affairs spokeswoman Penny Wright said it was "completely inappropriate to use family breakdown as a cash cow for the government".
Senator Wright said that divorce applications were very straightforward and usually took only 10 minutes each.
"It is not these cases that are soaking up the court's resources," she said.
Attorney-General George Brandis tabled a regulation setting out the changes this week, but the Senate has the power to strike them out and the Greens plan to move a disallowance motion next Tuesday.
Labor has been highly critical of the fee increases, and the Greens are confident they will gain the extra four crossbench votes they would also need to stop all the changes from taking effect.
Senator Wright said that the fee increases would make it harder for domestic violence victims to get divorces.
"Higher divorce and subpoena fees are an effective tax on court users, targeting people in need right when they are most vulnerable," she said.
Labor's family law spokesman Graham Perrett has previously described the tax as "mean spirited".
"I"m sure the Attorney-General knows that child abuse and family violence cases require the greatest number of subpoenas to be filed."
The Law Council of Australia has also expressed concern about the increase in fees, describing the family law fee changes as "particularly cynical".
"There is no option for divorcing parties other than to apply to the court," Law Council family law spokesman Rick O'Brien said.
"The fact that the revenue raised is not being fully invested back into the underfunded Family Courts simply makes it worse."
Law Council President Duncan McConnel added that many low and middle income Australians might find it too expensive to "enforce their rights through the courts".
About 48,000 divorces are processed in Australia each year.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - The Mississippi House wants to allow the state prison system to execute prisoners using a firing squad if officials decide lethal injection is too expensive or unavailable.
The House amended Senate Bill 2237 Friday before passing it 80-39, sending it back to the Senate for more work.
The measure makes secret the names of prison employees at an execution and the pharmacy providing lethal drugs.
It also makes secret the names of family members of the prisoner or crime victim.
First Amendment advocates say that measure unconstitutionally restrains free speech.
Supporters say the measure protects those involved in executions from harassment by people who oppose the death penalty.
Attorney General Jim Hood has asked lawmakers to approve alternate execution methods including the firing squad, electrocution and the use of nitrogen gas.

SD Cards Guide
- What are SD cards
- Guide about SD cards
- Other resources related to photography
When you talk about SD cards, what quickly comes to mind are digital cameras. Yes, but to be exact, SD cards are very small memory cards used in handy devices like as stated above, digital cameras, audio players, or any handheld device that requires storage. Think of it as a very small hard disk, only with no moving parts unlike the latter. Once it is plugged in and the device is switched on, it automatically gets to work. The device will scan it for its content and display if you want it too.
So, which SD cards are best? Well, Camerdojo conducted a test to find out which SD cards are performing well. Let's take a look. For uniformity's sake, all SD cards used are 16GB.
- Eye-Fi Pro X2 16gb Class 10
- MicroCenter 16gb Class 10
- Kingston 16gb SDHC Class 10
- Sandisk 16gb Extreme SDHC Class 10
In the test, the SD card that fared best was the Kingston 16GB SDHC card. It had a very good read speed of 20.3 Mb/s and write speed of 15.3 Mb/s. The second best card was the Sandisk 16GB Extreme SDHC which fared a little lower than the Kingston with a read speed of 19.3 Mb/s and a write speed of 12.9 Mb/s. This test was conducted using the Black Magic Speed Test on a Macbook Pro. So in conclusion, in order to find the best SD cards in the market, you have to consider the read and write speed of the SD. That is how they measure the best SD cards released in the market today.
It pays to have this guide, though, before buying one yourself, and becoming an informed buyer. It is just like buying supplements at iherb.com, where you get to have these iherb codes before purchasing their products. What a privilege, really, to be informed so that you won't buy the wrong product in the process.
If you are looking for other photography related resources or articles like this, you can visit Cameradojo. Their website is full of articles that talk about photography and anything related to it. Trust me, you will find that site very useful.
