Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
the two biggest factors that a court takes into consideration when calcuating child support is (1) the respective income of the parties, and (2) the amount of the the child spends when each parent. I suspect that your previous attorney may have not communicated this clearly, but the reality is that if one parent is employed but loses her job, it could result in a child support increase. The silver lining, if there is any, is that she would most likely be required to look for work immediately if she sought modification to the support order. Sorry, but don't shoot the messenger.
If this was informative, please remember to click "accept" so I may receive credit for my personal time and effort. Thank you.
Well, frankly, guideline support is suppose to create consistency, but it mostly creates stupidity. As I said, the two main factors are parental time and parental incomes, but there are plenty of other things that go into it and I can only imagine what happened in your case. I had one guy come to me in my practice last year looking for help where he was making about $2000/month gross ($1500 after taxes), but had been ordered to pay $1290/month in support for his two daughters that were with him 28% of the time. It was like "how do you expect him to feed his daughters when they are in his custody, let alone put a roof over any of their heads?" The legislatures need to return discretion to the judges, in this attorney's opinion.
Sorry to keep bothering you and this is my last reply I promise, but do you think that since there are 2 other children to consider and no other financial provider, they would deny it?
But you are right, that family law is crap.

Hey there ppl.
I noticed every now an then ppl r talking about earnin' some extra money in the game apart from the huge 'mount of money you earn from the missions.
I wondered what r they goin to spend it on. there are no business to run. not much shops to buy clothes or have a hair-cut or tattoos like they were on GTA SA. there r only 3 brands of shops to buy clothes from. you cannot buy cars. earn assets, or do some investment. you even don't pay the debts that is always talked about in the game. so you just keep earnin an earnin money. even the houses that you live in comes in a god-given way. that sucks.
although the artwork an graphics, and the whole gameplay makes it the best game that i've ever played, the fact that the life of niko bellic is limited to mostly killin ppl and a lil bit of fun (like datin ppl, havin sex with prostitutes, etc.) is a big mistake in the gta IV game developements. i was expecting so much more from rockstar after that masterpiece in the game history( GTA SA).
what do u think of it? maybe i'm wrong?

I've blown tons of money on ammo, just stocking up and going on rampages; but that's on my second save file.

Same 'ere, although I don't really touch SP nowadays. I only used to spend it on ammo anyway, and I never bothered phoning Jacob for cheaper guns, unless I was too far from a gun shop and couldn't be arsed to drive there. I only ever bought a few sets of clothes.

Authors of our favorite mystery, thriller & suspense books of the year should be grateful that 2013 was a non-Gone Girl year. Last year, Gillian Flynn's surprise bestseller seemed to suck all the air out of the room. This year, though no one book rose to the all-consuming blockbuster level, crime fiction fans like myself have enjoyed a steady supply of great books, from the works of the masters (Lee Child, John Grisham, John LeCarre, and Stephen King--twice) to some surprisingly assured debuts (Elizabeth Silver, Jenni Fagan). Not to mention the alleged debut from an author named Galbraith.
Here's a look at four of the twenty books on our Best of the Year list.
Joyland by Stephen King
The English Girl by Daniel Silva
Night Film by Marisha Pessl
Visitation Street by Ivy Pochoda

Residents say 'we warned this would happen' after HGV hits parked cars (From This Is Wiltshire)
Residents say 'we warned this would happen' after HGV hits parked cars
8:00am Wednesday 26th September 2012 in By Matthew Edwards, Sports reporter
A BIZARRE incident which saw a large lorry crash into two parked cars has highlighted Cricklade residents safety concerns over heavy goods vehicles in the town.
The incident happened yesterday lunchtime when the lorry, which was carrying two large skips, dislodged the two vehicles from their parking spaces and pushed them down the road, blocking access to the High Street between Calcutt Street and the B4040.
The cause of the collision is not yet known, but both the blue Alfa Romeo and blue Vauxhall Zafira were left badly damaged and blocked the road for several hours.
No one was injured in the crash, but it has sparked fresh concern from residents about the number of HGVs that use the narrow High Street.
Bob Jones, chairman of the Cricklade Business Association, helped ease the congestion as he donned a hi-vis vest and stood on the roundabout at the junction with Calcutt Street diverting traffic.
"I was dropping my wife off at the bank and I just heard an almighty crunch," he said. "The truck had only just come past me and as far as I know collided with the two parked cars.
"Recently we have carried out surveys regarding the number of HGVs going through Cricklade.
"It is of great concern to people living here and is a great concern to the businesses.
"This is something that has been coming and it is just a relief that nobody was in the car, or they could have been badly hurt.
"The town council is aware of our concerns and I think this just highlights them."
Patricia Woods was walking past shortly after the collision happened and said it was the second time she had seen a parked car hit in the High Street.
She said: "This is not the first time I have seen one of these large lorries cause an accident.
"It is dangerous, especially because there are a lot of elderly residents in Cricklade, and these big lorries rattle and shake the place when they come through.
"I think something needs to be done to put a stop to it, so they can find an alternative route."
Wiltshire Police are investigating what happened and anyone with any information should call 101.

If a driver is in colition with any stationary object it is his fault, however an badly parked vehicle could be a contributary / mitigating factor.
Hows that for evenhanded.

How do these people think that food and drink etc is delivered to their local shops and pubs??
HGV driver's are already subject to ongoing training, so perhaps the council should instead start to look at how their towns are laid out, and if it is they that cause these problems by deliberately making roads narrower and "vehicle unfriendly" rather than blaming HGV driver's. Just a thought!

That said if the lorry driver was in any doubt he should have stopped. If he thought it was OK then perhaps an eye test might be in order.

Primarily speed - many drivers car, lorries and local residence exceed the 20mph manditary speed limit.
Also the level of driving within Cricklade is absolutely appauling; double parking, sudden stopping and turning without warning.
There is a general disregard for both the law and safety on the roads within Cricklade.
Unless someone does something urgently there will be a fatality, most likely an innocent predestrian crossing the road on a zebra crossing.

Perhaps as a temporary measure there should be yellow lines with a minimum waiting time down the high street? That way there would be no need for the delivery vans to have to double park. Other towns don't allow cars to park along the high street, why is this one different?

Most lorries, sorry all lorries have brakes or is this driver one of the plonkers who rarely uses them and would sooner sound their horn instead.

itsamess3 says...
Second car is clearly blocking the road whilst parked on double yellows.
Well spotted bob--the photo demonstrates that perfectly.
"I have to say having visited this town on many occasions car drivers do tend to just abandon their vehicles in the oddest of places"

Perhaps ban vehicles from parking on the high street except for unloading deliveries?

Illuminus Festival 2014
Oct. 25
500 Harrison Ave.
in the BSC Pool
Zoe Dance was selected as one of the finalists in the first ever Illuminus Festival in Boston. The bold, new festival is going to take place in and around 500 Harrison Ave. in Boston on Oct. 25. We are honored to be a part in a very fitting (and very exciting) opportunity to showcase our work alongside many other top-notch projection artists.
Our new piece, entitled "Soaked" will integrate underwater live video streaming from inside the pool at the Boston Sports Club's pool on Harrison Ave. Audience members will watch from the windows to inside the pool deck as the performers immerse themselves in the water and on the pool deck playing out fantasies and surreal dreamscapes of the live streaming (from under the water) and pre-recorded images.
The Illuminus Festival was able to secure ll the "stuff" to make this piece a reality. The festival is unable at this time to secure the necessary funds to pay the people.
So we are reaching out to YOU!

"…centers on the shift from physical awareness to introspection. As children, we revel in the body. As adults, we might find ourselves in a whole host of eccentric mental loop statements. Sound familiar?
Certainly some of that is going to be messy territory, and portions of Korn's dance reflect that confusion…
Danced with striking engagement by Korn along with company members Sarah Ackley, Tamara Butts-Sullivan, Ivan Korn and Jon Peck, the clarity vacillates from scene to scene." – The Boston Herald

" five dancers made their way slowly around a large pool of water in which they would eventually be baptized and redeemed, except for Korn, who sort of dissolves into the water by the finish.
The live choreography is a variation of the filmed version, which runs simultaneously. Everything spirals unto itself, and by the conclusion the viewer feels as if he, too, has been pulled into the scenario and purified." – The Boston Herald

"The opening work "Casi una Fantasia" was an ironic duet in binary form, sort of a honeymoon night gone sour. With her long hair and compelling features, Chapman has a stunning Pre-Raphaelite appearance. She can easily play the predator, though. In a white wedding dress with red petticoat underneath and a garish rose in her hair, she flung Korn around, sat on him, anything to rouse him out of his drunken stupor. Halfway through the roles reversed. " – The Boston Herald

The web address your business' websites can be accessed on. For example, our domain name is 123-reg.co.uk.
Every site is hosted on an internet web server, or a "host". Computers access these hosts using an IP — a string of numbers like 184.108.40.206 — but that's not very memorable for human beings.
A "domain name" converts an IP address to a more memorable, text-based version so that people don't need to punch in a huge string of numbers to find the websites they want.
Think of your domains like web addresses — the place people will find you online.
An extension is the ending of a domain name. Extensions are commonly referred to as a TLD (Top-Level Domain), suffix, or domain root.
There are many of types of TLDs such as ccTLDs, which are country code specific, like .de for Germany, and gTLDs, which are new generic extensions such as .ninja.
Some of the most popular TLDs include .com, .org, .net, and .biz.
Many businesses and brands register their name with multiple extensions to protect their online identity, increase visibility and attract more visitors to their website.
gTLD stands for generic Top-Level Domain. It's a category of extensions that are alternatives to the traditional .com, .co.uk and .de domain roots.
Also called "new gTLDs" or "nTLDs", these are just a few of the hundreds of new names that have been released recently for businesses and individuals to use.
These gTLDs vary from practical extensions such as .web or .tech, to location-based ones such as .london or .wales, and even catchy extensions such as .ninja or .xyz.
Country-code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs) correspond to a country, territory, or other geographic location.
For example: .uk represents the United Kingdom, .de is for Germany, .mx for Mexico and .ch is used for Switzerland.
The rules for registering ccTLDs vary significantly depending on the extension. Some ccTLDs such as .de have residency restrictions, meaning that registrants are required to be located in the country of the domain name they want to use.
However, many of the ccTLDs can be registered by anyone without any restrictions, including .uk, .ch, .es and several more.
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the internet's equivalent of a phone book, converting the text-based web addresses you're used to seeing into Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (a string of numbers corresponding to a place on a web server).
While machines access websites based on their individual IP, it's much easier for people to remember a web address such as company.name than an IP like 184.108.40.206.
Registering domains is fast and easy, with very few details required.
You'll need to provide your name, address and a few other contact details. It's crucial that the information you share is up-to-date and valid in case of a dispute or other situations where you need to show proof of ownership.
We will also need your payment details so we can process your registration.
We've got a huge selection!
As the UK's #1 domain name provider, every new extension that is released is also available to be registered on 123-reg. From the traditional .com, .co.uk, .net, .org to the new .uk, .london, .ninja, .xyz, we have it all.
Use our domain search to see which extensions are available for your desired name.
Just a few.
Some domain names have registration restrictions, meaning they can only be used for a specific purpose or by specific organisations/companies in a specific country or region.
For example, .archi can only be used by individual professional architects or architecture firms, while .eu can only be used by registrants who are located in a country in the European Union.
Don't worry - we make it obvious when restrictions apply. For every name you look up on 123-reg, you will also find specific information regarding any domain registration restrictions that apply.
Regardless of the extension, all domain names must follow the same character rules:
A subdomain is subdivision of a domain name that enables your businesses to put another name in your URL before your namespace.
For example, blog.companyname.com or shop.companyname.com would both be subdomains of companyname.com.
In fact, the www at the start of your web address is actually a subdomain!
Certainly - you can cancel any time you choose.
Simply log into your control panel, go to the Domain Names section, click Manage Auto Renewal and choose the name you wish to cancel/allow to expire.

By Eric D. Snider (reprint from 3/17/10 -- SXSW Film Festival)
There isn't much competition in this category, admittedly, but MacGruber is the funniest Saturday Night Live-based film since Wayne's World. We'd have breathed a sigh of relief if it were merely not awful. The fact that it's actually pretty good, a gleefully silly action parody that doesn't run out of steam before it's over, is just icing on the cake.
The recurring SNL sketch it's based on is a spoof of the 1980s TV series MacGyver, famous for its resourceful, duct-tape-wielding protagonist. MacGruber, played by Will Forte, is ostensibly just like MacGyver, with the joke being that he's actually dangerously inept. (Each sketch ends with him and his crew being blown up.) The movie version, written by Forte and SNL writers John Solomon and Jorma Taccone (Taccone also directed), expands MacGruber's character to include several more traits: cowardly, petty, vain, homophobic, delusional, immature, and maybe sociopathic. Like many characters played by another SNL-bred Will -- that'd be Mr. Ferrell -- what's so funny about MacGruber is that, despite being the hero, he's an awful person who's terrible at his job. I mean, people die because of him. Regularly.
Forte and company have logically put MacGruber into an '80s action-movie scenario. A former Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Green Beret, MacGruber is retired now, Rambo-style, when his old Pentagon friend, Gen. Faith (Powers Boothe), recruits him for an important mission. It seems a nuclear warhead has been stolen and must be found before it is deployed. And who is the thief? None other than the same dastardly villain responsible for the death of MacGruber's wife. The bad guy, played by Val Kilmer, is named Dieter Von Cunth, primarily so the movie can make its characters say "cunth" over and over again.
Through a series of events that's both comical and completely predictable given what you know about the MacGruber SNL sketches, MacGruber winds up working with an old partner named Vicki St. Elmo (Kristen Wiig) and a rookie military officer named Lt. Dixon Piper (Ryan Phillippe) in his efforts to stop Von Cunth. MacGruber's methods of surveillance and espionage are unorthodox -- one involves celery being misused in a manner that you will not soon forget -- but not in the way that gets results, even accidentally, like Agent 86 in Get Smart. MacGruber gets results only rarely, and most of those are technically someone else's doing. In that way, the film's central joke is self-referential: This is a movie about a completely useless character who should not be the main character in a movie.
Unlike MacGruber, Will Forte is extremely capable. A fearless comedian, he has no problem forsaking all vestiges of dignity for the purpose of comedy, and his hit-to-miss ratio in MacGruber is high. Kristen Wiig, part of the glue that holds SNL together from week to week, is indispensable as Vicki, while serious actors Kilmer, Boothe, and Phillippe play things straight -- an important element in any comedy. (It's refreshing to see Kilmer, especially, remind us that he has a sense of humor.) Maya Rudolph also has a couple of funny moments as MacGruber's late wife, seen in flashbacks and spectral visitations.
Having acknowledged that MacGruber is very funny, by turns crude and subtle but mostly crude, I must also acknowledge that it ain't exactly an instant classic. Nothing about the film is revelatory; none of the gags are particularly inspired; it doesn't represent a breakthrough in '80s nostalgia-parody. (It might make this summer's A Team movie seem pretty redundant, though.) With only a few exceptions, I doubt any of the punch lines or sight gags will be quoted -- or even remembered -- for very long. As far as solid-but-disposable comedies go, however, it's more than enough to satisfy moviegoers, especially fans who are hungry for something SNL-related to appear on the big screen without embarrassing everyone.

Is it safe to eat peanut butter during pregnancy?
I am 11 weeks along and I have been trying to eat a variety of different foods in order to expose the baby to different vitamins and future tastes. I am having mixed feelings about peanut butter. I am a teacher and I see so many kids with peanut allergies and I often wonder how that happens. I only eat peanut butter maybe once a week. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks!

I ate peanut butter when I was pregnant with my son and actually thats the first thing I wanted after I had him was peanuts. Hes fine and has no allergiesposted 02/26/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I ate a lot of PBJ sandwiches during my first pregnancy and I first gave my daughter just a tad of PB on a bite of bread when she was 18 months old and she did not react...the second time her eye swelled and had a couple of hives..gave her benadryl she got better, then weeks later, she got a hold of one of my nutter butter crackers, took a tiny bite, and I didn't wait for reaction, I gave her Benadryl and she didn't react...so I'm scared to give her any more because my sister told me she might react worse...so my question is, have any of you moms out there experienced the same, and your kid turned out okay and NOT allergic eventually?? When she did have reactions, she didn't act distressed at all, just kept playing and was normal.posted 02/21/2012 by ILUVMYSI
I'm also 11 week and thinking about whether i should eat peanut butter or not. But i do believe it has nothing to do with what we eat during pregnancy. I'm an Asian and soy is widely use in our diet and "soy allergy" is not a common thing about our community at all. I'm love peanut butter and I've been eating it almost once every week!!posted 12/07/2011 by chumcg
This is interesting to me. I just heard on the news that some women are advised to not eat pnuts while pregnant. I have 5 children - While pregnant with #4 I found that I could not eat pnut butter. When I did I would vomit abruptly and violently approximately 5 minutes after consuming it. My son (#4) hates nuts and pnut butter. He has no apparent allergy to these - but I wonder if his aversion may indicate a sensativity to pnuts (and other nuts)?posted 11/05/2011 by goodbwithu
With my daughter, towards the end I was eating 3 pbjs a day for one meal. lol I think she must've been the one that wanted it cause after I had her I never wanted to see another peanut butter and jelly sandwich again! She is now 2 and doesn't seem to have any issues with peanut butter.posted 09/15/2011 by EricaAmber
I ate peanut butter by the spoonful with both my 2 past pregnancies and both my kids are fine with no allergies at all. I'm currently pg with my 3rd and will continue to enjoy it by the spoonful since it seems to be the only thing to cure any odd craving I may have.posted 08/17/2010 by HauteMomma2006
My twelve month old has just be diagnosed with severe peanut allergies, I am wondering how other Mother's have managed in nursery and with friends as most of mine are now paranoid about having him in their care.posted 10/07/2010 by Nicole199
I ate so many peanut butter cups when I was pregnant with my kids that I thought my daughter's head was going to come out shaped like a little Reese cup. Neither of my kids is allergic to peanuts, but my daughter is deathly--5 of 5--allergic to cashews, while she did not react to hazelnuts or walnuts which will kill my husband. The prevailing theory now is that we vaccinate for everything, pasteurize our milk, have clean drinking water, we don't even have germs in our homes. So the immune system is 'bored' and needs to make up an invader because the traditional things the immune system used to fight off aren't around anymore. This is supported by the fact that children of the very poor and of farmers and rural families do not have the incidence of allergies that suburban or urban higher-income children do.posted 07/03/2008 by JBTyler
hi i am 26 weeks pregnant with my 2nd, and my craving has been peanut butter on toast, with my first i didnt eat peanuts at all and he ended up with allergies with peanuts as well as other foods, they say its ok just as long as you dont sit there and eat a whole bag of themposted 08/12/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
i guess everyones body is different, i know for a fact that i did not touch anything i wasnt meant to with my first 1, and he ended up with asthma, excema, and allerges, lactoce intolerant on soy based milks only, colic the works, i waited 8 years before having another and now pregnant again 28 weeks, i guess there is just so many more preservatives in foods these days, i crave peanut butter on toast and alot of milk, i jst wish there was a allergy testing for those who are expecting would make life a whole lot easier LOLposted 08/22/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

THREE FREE PERFORMANCES...Don't miss it!
"Superhuman...pushing the limits of what's physically possible." - Cynthia Archbold, Miami Sun Post
"Among the thousands of acts I've booked and presented since 1997, Wise Fool has to be in the top handful, based on audience satisfaction and presenter experience alike." - Bob Redmond, Arts Program Manager Emeritus, Bumbershoot Festival
Commissioned by the Carnival Center for the Performing Arts, Flexion is stunning aerial theatre on the cutting edge of humanity and grace. Flexion is performed each year by Wise Fool artists at festivals across the United States. Past venues include Bumbershoot, Artown Reno, Detroit International Arts Festival, Cherry Creek Arts Festival, and Flint Hills International Children's Festival.
Flexion features five acrobats on stilts rolling into backbends, splits and a myriad of sculptural forms which literally stretch one's perception of the human body. Strutting and dancing, suspended and flying, their pincer-like metal legs slice the air as they spin and swim like fencers in a sea, barely missing each other in their fervent exploration of their metal home. Shedding layers of armor, the acrobats slowly transform from superhuman warriors to fragile nymphs balancing high above the audience, hanging precariously from straps, the cage and each other and finally descending to earth.

Kansas City hospital lets parents stay, take care of children
There is a hospital in Kansas City, Mo, where parents stay overnight with their children to give them round-the-clock care, as at home, but more so because this care includes administration of medication (under supervision), and checking temperature, pulse, and respiration.The parent-care unit of Children's Mercy Hospital is reserved for patients who need hospitalization, but do not require acute care services. They may be undergoing extensive diagnostic evaluations or may be in a transitional state between postoperative care and discharge.The facility serves several important functions, explains Ned W. Smull, MD, director and chairman of pediatrics. It increases the hospital's ability to care for patients while reserving acute care beds for those more seriously ill. The facility also encourages close parent-child relationships during a stressful period.Another advantage is the reduced cost to the patient's family from $47

Pradi (India) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 5:01 AM 0 The way how i celeberated de goal against iran is still not forgotten by mom n sister.... I was having my dinner, de game was about to finish n no goal, i stopped in 3rd chappathi ( usually i hav 6-7, my favourite food), took de jug n was drinking water with big dissappointed, suddenly came de leo magic, i was thrilled, kept de jug on dining table, unfortunately at de edge, n stood up quicky by balancing my hands on de table, there goes de glass jug with 3/4 water down to de floor.......... cccrrriiilllccchhhiiilllzzzkkklllpppllltttzzzzzzz...... Into pieces.... Went on 2 commentaries at same time, one from t.v on leo magic n one from my mom on jug's price, history......................... Ha ha ha.... Caniggia (Hong Kong) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 4:49 AM 0 It rather sucks that Brazil has given away cheap goals to Germany and in particular Klose. It's has warped the record books as I have to admit that I also wanted Messi to win the golden boot this time. But, since we are not the same team as the qualifiers, I would happily settle for a 1:0 win tonight! Pradi (India) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 4:35 AM 0 Yesterday if there is no thiago silva dutch wud hav scored 5 or 6 against brazil.... They were double organized than against germany n still conceded 3.... I didnt see any greatness in germans victory over brazil.... What i only wish is god to give good health n energy to our strike force.... We need to rely on counters atleast with de front two.... tamthebam (Scotland) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 4:25 AM 0 I'll be watching in my living room, where I've watched all the matches. Jumping from seat to seat or pacing up and down! The team know the chance to win a WORLD CUP IS UNIQUE IN ITSELF, BUT TO DO IT IN BRAZIL? VAMOS ARGENTINA! Chainsaw (Iran) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 4:13 AM 0 Off topic but, where are the other writes of MA? ZiggY, Roy and Seba. Haven't seen them around for ages. di3z_dion (Albania) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 4:09 AM 0 I will be watching it with some German friends. I will paint the Argentinian flag on my cheeks tonight. I don't know you guys, but I am very calm and I feel that we will have some surprises tonight. Messi and Masche will not only take revenge for Argentina losses against Germany, but I hope they'll take revenge for Barca's humiliation from the hand of Bayern in 2013. I will learn in the next hours the "Brasil decime que se siente" by heart, although I don't know a word in Spanish. Dale Argentina. theAbNormalOne (India) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 4:04 AM 0 I won't watch it with any family or women.Because I respect both of them and I'm ashamed to make a bad image to them.I think Argentinean Football match is a certain stage of OCD for me .You may feel you should do something or otherwise you are gonna get killed. What I mean is the language I would use while watching Argentina,the infinite bashing,screaming,horror dance,laughs,tears...I can't show that infront of some family members... Kutz (India) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 3:56 AM 0 Messi " this is the game of our lives " ......god has spoken !!!! theAbNormalOne (India) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 3:50 AM 1 I have already told here that where am I going to watch the match.(Sorry for repeating):-I will be watching the match in a "specially-arranged for worldcup" tea stall (Chayakkada) which is 2 minutes walk from my home. There is no entry-fee.Usually there would be around 30-35 viewers.But today we are expecting a minimum of 60 members.The tea-stall owner offers black tea(muhabbath kattanchaya) and egg dishes like omelet,bull's-eye...etc with cigarettes.We got more number of fans.In general Argentina fans are hot tempered,especially me and 2 others.So all Brazilian,German,Dutch,Spanish fans will be too cautious in booing us during the match.(By the way the owner really wants Argentina to win though he's a Brazilian fan.Its his fear for violence). Anyway there are some trolls in our group too like here in mundo.They are aiming for personal quarrels.The kick off would be at 12.30 am.But we will be there around 10 pm since the seats are limited.I will be booking my place on a desk where I have been ever present from day1.I heard that all other fans have joined together to buy some cracks to shame us.The chance for little quarrels are on a high.But we never make it seriousl. vasu (United Kingdom) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 3:46 AM 0 very very nervous..can i be lucky enough to witness argentina lifting the trophy with messi scoring the winner? all the odds are stacked against us..the press have made it a storyline like david vs golaith...let us all pray together so that we can witness history and our life long dreams at maracana with messi dissecting the germans...but will it happen? very very nervous.. pablo.d (New Zealand) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 3:37 AM 0 don't worry brother when we win you will hear me screaming from this side of the wee island :) Lucas (Australia) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 3:09 AM 0 Pablo.d 5am kick off here is ozCnt fucking wait ! No chance I'm sleeping tonight pablo.d (New Zealand) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 3:02 AM 0 Lucas: what time is k/o for you?.I do know it will be me watching it aloneish but the wife and kids will look in from time to time.they are all backing our mighty Argentina!!! ama (Greece) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 2:51 AM 0 We will also be like 4-5 people at home watching . Living in Athens,so who ever wants to there is an invitation to come. Or to suggest another place otherwise.VAMOS ARGENTINA!!!! THE TIME HAS COME ONCE AGAIN, AT LAST!!! Kutz (India) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 2:32 AM 0 i will be watching it with my brother his wife and her band of friends (4-5) and their husbands and they all support Germany !!!! its going to be epic when Argentina win like they did with the dutch and these clueless supporters were rooting for the dutch !!!! i cannot see this game going any other way than Argentina winning so all their negativity and agonizingly clueless comments are going to be like "water on a ducks back " very welcome coz i know whats going to happen in the end ......and i want this for my hero SABELLA Lucas (Australia) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 2:27 AM 1 I'm watching it at home by my self !! Like every other game in this World Cup! Not even my misses will join lol has workedFor so far and I don't wanna change anything !! Just in case Party starts after we win Vamossss pablo.d (New Zealand) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 2:25 AM 1 k/o is 7 am here and im watching it with my family. cleanball (Indonesia) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 2:14 AM 0 In our country, Indonesia every games was shown in large screen in cafe or streets with both fans cheering their favourite team , no offence and quarelling. Will wear Albiceleste jersey with hats and cheers the team all the way to be the champion. Our time for the final is 2:00 a.m.Looking forwards to watch Messi lifting the cup.Vamos Argentina. Zoroaster (Germany) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 2:06 AM 1 well since we had very very awful experiences in celebrating and going outside with argentina jersey when they are playing any matches against germany, we decided to group up at my place and watch the match with argentina supporters only because im very superstitious and dont want to have any negative comments/energy around during the match. Istiaque (Bangladesh) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 2:02 AM 0 Come on Lio: It's your Game. It's our forward's game.Boateng and Howedes occupy their left side....doesn't it sound mouthwatering? Run between them, beyond them, through them and over them!! It's payback time. romero, Zaba, Michu, Garay, rojo, Bigila, Mascherano, Enzo, Lio, Pipita, dimaria/lavezzi Lio must stay on the up and somebody must intercept and start the darn counterattacks Vamos shabuchie (Jamaica) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 1:52 AM 0 A few fellow supporters will join me at home to watch and celebrate the victory. Istiaque (Bangladesh) Posted on 7/13/2014 at 1:52 AM 1 Germany are a very solid and organised team, but I think there's one thing which could favour Argentina and that's their high defensive line. Germany play with a high line and the speed of Lionel Messi and Gonzalo Higuain could be crucial in breaking through. The Germans will need to be very attentive to those two in particular, to Angel Di Maria if he is fit and to Sergio Aguero.With Germany defending almost beyond the halfway line, that means there is plenty of space to be exploited and it's where Argentina can perhaps find the key to breaking through the German offside trap. - Diego Semeone

Consolidation in the travel industry has become as common as picking up a daily newspaper for some companies. TripAdvisor recently announced its most recent acquisition, a $200 million deal for tours and activities provider Viator, which is the company's fourth move of 2014.
TripAdvisor also added lafourchette, which means "the fork" in French, along with Tripbod in an effort to upgrade its mobile acumen, and to play a larger role in travelers' trip-planning and booking activities in-destination. However, TripAdvisor is not the only company that is making waves on the mergers and acquisitions front.
Major OTAs Adding Smaller Pieces
The Priceline Group made news earlier in 2014 when they announced purchases of buuteeq (a cloud-based property management system), Hotel Ninjas (a hotel management software platform), and OpenTable (the leading online restaurant reservation software). Similar to TripAdvisor, these moves were made to tap into forms of ancillary spending that is common in the travel and hospitality industries.
Expedia also add a key piece to its ever-growing puzzle when it announced the acquisition of the Wotif Group, which includes numerous booking sites in Australia.
Mergers and Acquisitions Not a New Concept
TripAdvisor has not always been its own independent brand. In fact, the company was initially acquired by Expedia before branching out to become one of the leading peer review websites online today.
One could argue that the most impactful acquisition of the past decade occurred in 2005 when the Priceline Group acquired Booking.com. At the time, Booking.com was a European-based booking portal with a very limited number of properties available to actually be booked online. Ultimately, Priceline paid $135 million for the acquisition.
That $135 million may not seem like much of a bargain, but when you consider that the Priceline Group paid $2.6 billion in cash to acquire OpenTable earlier this year, $135 million seems like a drop in the bucket.
Next Step: Vacation Rentals
The Expedia's, TripAdvisor's, and Orbitz Worldwide's of the world are not the only companies jumping on this bandwagon. Homeaway, one of the leading providers of vacation rentals around the world, acquired the rights to Glad to Have You and Stayz earlier this year. Glad to have you offers Homeaway a mobile guest management service while Stayz Group represents Australia' leading vacation rental marketplace.
So what does the future hold for the rest of the vacation rental industry? It is hard to accurately predict right now, but it seems unlikely that all of the sites that feature vacation rentals today will still be doing so two or three years down the road. Inevitably, the most popular and profitable of these companies will swoop up the emerging companies and claim them as their own while continuing the current trend of acquiring, merging, and gaining power in the industry.

Who is Alexander von Humboldt? - George Mehler
942Questions Answered
Let's Begin…
Have you heard of Alexander von Humboldt? Not likely. The geologist turned South American explorer was a bit of an 18th century super scientist, traveling over 24,000 miles to understand the relationship between nature and habitat. George Mehler details Humboldt's major accomplishments and why we should care about them today.

Alexander von Humboldt was a Prussian geographer, naturalist and explorer, and the younger brother of the Prussian minister, philosopher and linguist Wilhelm von Humboldt. Humboldt's quantitative work on botanical geography laid the foundation for the field of biogeography.
Here is an archive of works about or by Humboldt.
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Prussian naturalist and explorer Alexander Von Humboldt. He was possibly the greatest and certainly one of the most famous scientists of the 19th century. Darwin described him as 'the greatest scientific traveller who ever lived'. Goethe declared that one learned more from an hour in his company than eight days of studying books and even Napoleon was reputed to be envious of his celebrity.
Aime Bonpland studied botany and medicine. He was introduced to Humboldt and went to America with him to collect and dry more than 6,000 new plants. He visited Venezuela, Cuba, New Granada, Peru, and Mexico. Napoleon gave him a pension and the Empress Josephine accepted rare American seeds for her garden at Malmaison from him. The post of '"Inten. dant " of her garden being vacant, Bonpland was appointed and remained until 1804-15.
Simón Bolívar was a Venezuelan military and political leader. Bolívar played a key role in Latin America's successful struggle for independence from the Spanish Empire, and is today considered one of the most influential politicians in the history of the Americas.
How did he do this?

This year has been amazing! I have had the chance to travel to California, Washington, Oregon and Utah to photograph weddings and each and every one has been amazing and an adventure. This year also seems to be the year of me getting soaking wet at weddings, which I am okay with as well. I knew from the get go that I would be getting wet at Ashlee and Brian's wedding, because they gave me the full run down on their Zion National Park Wedding last year. These two had a bit of a rogue wedding in the narrows – THE hike to do in Zion National Park.
To say that I have been looking forward to this wedding for a while is a huge understatement. I COULD NOT WAIT FOR AUGUST TO ARRIVE! So it is with lots of joy that I get to share these photos with you. I also need to give a huge shout out to my patient husband who also got up with me at 4 am to shoot this wedding and did a fantastic job at it.
Congrats Ashlee and Brian you two are awesome and I had a great time meeting your friends and family. Not surprisingly you two know some of the raddest people ever.
If you would like to see a slideshow of more images head on over here to see more. (It has been pointed out to me that I got the date wrong and am correcting this as I write).

Apropos of the column In EUs interest (FE, June 7), despite providing hair-cuts and bail-out packages, there is very little improvement in the peripheral countries of the EU. While monetary stimulus of the type proposed can devalue the euro, it would do harm to core countries. Germany and France were disturbed little when the sovereign debt crisis erupted because these are the countries who know how to overcome the challenge as their economies are stronger in every aspect. Even other smaller countries had remained undisturbed because their house was in order. As the eurozone performance is gauged in consolidated manner, it is the worry that some of the countries are performing badly and even if a few are okay, the average is not satisfactory.

Working hours
On the lines of corporate work ethics, Modi expects the central government employees to work from 8 am to 6 pm. That means 10 hours of work. The state governments will follow the Centre and increase working hours. Abnormal increase in working hours cannot be expected to increase the working efficiency. Two hours of lunch break, as suggested, may bring down the working hours to 8. But it will be of little help to the employees. The existing hours of work are not being put into productive use. That is the real issue.

Vivian Harris' return clash ends in stalemate as opponent sustains gash over eye
Former World Boxing Association (WBA) super/lightweight champion, 'Vicious' Vivian Harris' attempt to rekindle his career suffered a minor setback after his opponent, former 2 times British champion, David Barnes, sustained a gash over his left eye following an accidental clash of heads in the fifth round, forcing a premature end to their welterweight bout at the De Vere Whites Hotel in Bolton Monday evening last.
A report from British writer, Dewi Powell at ringside intimated that Referee Michael Alexander had the bout 48-48 half way through the fifth round. Previous to the injury, the action hadn't flowed as expected with neither Harris (146.2lbs) nor hometown Barnes (147lbs) taking the initiative.
Both pugilists used the early rounds to evaluate each other and the jabs were predominant. Harris then attempted to seize the initiative employing the straight right to thwart the advances of his southpaw opponent. Not to be outdone, Barnes flicked out his jab and feinted well to upset his opponent's rhythm preventing him from lining up his shots.
The stand-off continued into the fourth round with Barnes' lateral movement working well even as he parried Harris' straight rights while effectively blocking the left hooks to the body. He was also landing a decent over-hand left as the fourth round closed.
The decisive round then saw both men simultaneously stepping in to throw punches but their heads preceded the punches opening a deep downwards cut over Barnes' left eye. A brief doctor's inspection was all it took for the fight to be abruptly ended. Harris' record now stands at 29 fights 19KOs-7 losses 2 draws, while Barnes' reads 25 fights, 11Kos, 2 losses, 2 draws.

Guys, it's not even April yet and Winnipeg is having a rough year. Out of 7 homicides, 3 are victims of domestic violence. The latest death occurred last weekend in the form of a murder suicide. The couple was new to Canada. She was 28 years old. Their 3 year old daughter was there and may have been alone for up to 24 hours. It's a horrific story that a lot of us are getting numb to, or at least I am. Why? Because this murder basically happened around the same time that the City of Winnipeg decided to deny funding to Osborne House, a crisis shelter for women and children who are victims of domestic violence. The shelter has seen a 75% drop in donations recently and $450,000 is apparently too much to ask from a city that loves to frivolously spend.
Keeping in mind that all of our services and fees have been steadily rising and our property taxes will be increasing….even though the mayor said in the last race that the idea was ridiculous (lol, Sam Katz, you're a fucking liar….and you kick children in the face).
There seems to be money for a new stadium for a CFL team in an awkward spot. They seem dead set on building an essentially useless rapid transit corridor that's going to be used by a very specific subset of people (and they tried hiking bus fare up so everyone would enjoy the cost without the use!). Not to mention money for those weird accordion buses that we probably didn't need. Of course, they're always like "MOAR COPS!!" too, because that is totally proven to solve all problems.
It's hilarious, because the road I live on is in ridiculous need of fixing and has since before I moved on it. The streets are still dirty from the thaw. But I bet even that will be a higher priority than the second oldest shelter in Canada. The potholes will win above women, but we'll be damned if that newfangled stadium isn't up and running on time! Wouldn't wanna disappoint the Bombers and their precious fans! Or let's donate money to our "Human Rights Museum" which looks like a giant spiked boob right next to our penis bridge while ignoring the abuses in our own backyard! PRIORITIES!!
Look, I'm just going to say it. Sam Katz and most of the people in city hall don't care about women. It's harshing the city's image a little too much to be caring about victims of violence over the NHL team or the other stupid pet projects, and lord knows they don't actually want to deal with it. They're too busy trying to make Winnipeg look like a classy place to be.
The good news is that the province itself appears to be stepping up. So are the regular citizens. Many have been starting to organize these things called socials (normally a tasteless cash grabs for engaged people…"hey, I haven't seen you much or anything, but please pay $10 and spend ridiculous amounts of money at an overblown party I'm throwing so that I'm more comfortable with how much money I'm spending on my wedding!! There will be tacky music and the usual spread of stale bread, greasy cheese, and disgusting cheap sandwich meats!!) to raise money for the shelter. Obviously this is a social I can get behind and hope to attend with several friends in tow.
For those who are able to, I encourage you to attend. The information for one of them is associated with the link in the above paragraph. If you cannot attend but are able to donate, their mailing address can be found here. If neither are an option? Feel free to tell mayor Sam Katz how you feel about it.
We need to start taking the problem seriously. Giving women a place to go is a good step.
