Some people are natural-born risk takers. They thrive on the adrenaline rush that comes from facing head-on what is yet unknown. To them, there is just something exciting about going all-in when caution and common sense would tell them otherwise. You can probably think of a few times in your life that you have gone out on a limb, as they say, for someone or something you passionately believed in. The truth is, if you are ever going to do what God has called you to do, then at some point you will have to leave what you think is comfortable, take what feels like a great risk, and learn to get comfortable with living by faith.
Even as I write this article, I believe my wife and I are out there at the end of a limb too. There are some changes the Lord has told us to make in our family and ministry that are well beyond our past experiences and know-how. But we're out there, and we're loving it! Perhaps you're on that proverbial limb right now too. If so, I want you to know we're not alone out here. Our heavenly Father knows all too well what life is like living at the end of this limb. He's been out here for the last 2,000 years.
It was at this moment that Jesus takes a flying leap out to the end of the limb. He replies to her and says, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more" (v. 11). Of course, we love and appreciate this account in Scripture, but I wonder if we've really stopped to think about the enormous risk Jesus takes by letting this woman go. She has been caught in her sin and is, according to the law, deserving of death. But the only sinless person with any right to stone her chooses instead to free her. What is He thinking? He's just going to let this woman get away with this? If He doesn't punish her sin, isn't He just giving her a license to keep sinning? In the words of Paul, "Certainly not!" (Romans 6:1,2). You see, Jesus was giving her a glimpse of a new covenant that was well on its way. He was introducing to her, to them, and to us all the Covenant of Kindness. But I'll admit: it seems like kindness could be a very risky business.
I guess your Father just has more faith in the power of kindness to draw you, than in the power of sin to pull you away.
The letter of the law requires you to do things without empowering you to do them. The ministry of grace will tell you what to do, then empower you, strengthen you, and even go to work on your behalf to accomplish the job. I'm convinced that woman came face-to-face with kindness on a level she had never seen before when He said, "Neither do I condemn you." And I'm convinced there was enough power in those words to rescue her out of her sin, out of her addiction, and out of her shame. With the command to go and sin no more, came the grace and ability to go and sin no more.
So you see, no matter what "risks" you're currently taking, you're not alone out on a limb. Jesus is out there with you. As a matter of fact, He didn't just go out on a limb, He hung from the whole tree (Galatians 3:13). It was the greatest risk ever taken. No one had ever been reborn from death to life. No one had ever been crushed under the weight of humanity's sin with the aim of rising victorious over it. In a never-before-seen act of kindness, He risked it all. But always remember this: the greater the risk, the greater the reward. Because He was willing to risk everything, He has been rewarded with the love and affection of countless numbers of people that were drawn to Him, not by threat of judgment or fear of His wrath, but by His kindness. And for His kindness, we love Him. "With loving-kindness I have drawn you." (Jeremiah 31:3 nkjv).
He didn't just go out on a limb, He hung from the whole tree.
There's no doubt that kindness is a risk. Many are afraid to take that risk, believing that if they don't demand respect from their kids, their employees, or their congregations, then they may not get what they want. It's time to stop being afraid and start living by faith. It's time to believe there is more power in mercy than there is bitterness, resentment, or anger. This is the difference between people being drawn to you or driven from you. Like Jesus, let us increase in favor with God and man. And, like Jesus, let us write kindness deep within our hearts (Proverbs 3:3,4).
Begin now to grow in a revelation of how kind He has been to you. Soon you will be so full of His kindness that it will begin to overflow into the lives of the people around you. It may feel like a risk, but remember, you're not hanging from a flimsy twig that's about to snap. No, you're out on a limb called Love, and Love cannot fail.


Have you ever visited the beach or planning to go diving underwater for a vacation? Did you ever think about capturing the amazing under water environment that include an expedition with fishes, pearls, sea creatures, underwater stones, and more in your camera. How about clicking pictures during river rafting? Well, the common digital cameras would end up not working properly once it gets soaked with water coming from different directions and would end up mulfunctioning and not usable at all. Waterproof cameras are a must, and the most suitable for taking clean and good photographs under water, and wherever there are water and liquids involved.
It is an essential aspect to ensure that your camera is functioning properly. Even in waterproof cameras, there isn't always a perfect protective glass, covering the internal lens. Hence, the lens can pick up smudges, fingerprints, cruft, pocket lint, and more. A microfiber cloth is best to wipe these off from the glass. Always make sure that there is no grit on the glass or the cloth as it can cause scratches when pressed too hard.
Bubbles can get deposited on the camera surface and it is crucial to wipe that off. Bubble marks may not be visible always, but these may be there and visible only when you actually view pictures on computer. However, till then it may be too late and obviously you cannot do anything about it. Shake the camera when you first go diving under water which should dislodge the bubbles from the surface. This will prevent blurred photos from the droplets left on the lens. Dry them carefully with a clean cloth so that the moisture gets soaked easily.
Often using your waterproof digital camera in a stream or lake where the water is salty can result in salt crystals to get deposited on the camera surface. Saltwater leaves corrosive marks when dried. It can cause an impact on the camera's internal circuitry and can damage the device. The best way to prevent such a deposition is to place the camera under freshwater after use in saltwater. Even though freshwater droplets need to be wiped off after that, but salt water deposition on the surface can cause corrosion. So, it is highly recommended that you get the camera a freshwater rinse to keep off the salt.
The soft rubber gasket keeps the water out from the camera and is secured against a smooth surface. Accumulation of dirt and grit will no longer keep the surface watertight. Just run your finger to make sure that there isn't dirt on the gasket sides that could cause the leak. Make sure that the surface is not subjected to any kind of scratch as it will also lead to damage. Check to see if the sliding seal is clean. Also, see if seal replacement warranty is covered to ensure that remains functional for long.
Though some cameras are specified as meant to strive through tough circumstances, these are obviously not indestructible. Also, anti-crush ratings do not guarantee damage free situations. If your camera bumps against something it can cause damage. Applied pressure can still crack the LCD glass of the camera. Use good straps for your waterproof camera so that it remains close to you no matter how deep you are underwater or how active you are. Even in a few meters of sea water, chances of losing the camera cannot be avoided.
These are few of the best ways to take care of your waterproof camera.

Q: Connecting a USB 3.0 connector to USB 3.1 Gen 2 front panel connector My Asus ROG Strix x470F has a USB 3.1 Gen 2 front panel connector. My multicard reader has only a USB 3.0 (internal) connector.
I found this product: "CY USB 3.1 Front Panel Header to USB 3.0 20Pin Header Extension Cable for ASUS Motherboard 20cm"

This would be exactly what i need, but the reviews don't look promising for my needs.
I couldn't find any alternatives. I have been looking for USB 3.1 Gen 1 to SATA but no luck there.
What would you do to connect the multi-card reader to the motherboard?
Edit to answer questions:
The Manual states on page 1-12. that there is one USB 3.1 Gen 2 connector and one USB 3.1 Gen 1 Connector. What i forgot to mention is, that my case already uses the mainboards USB 3.1 Gen 1 Connector. My card reader has an usb 3.1 Gen 1 connector as well. Therefore i have 2 USB 3.1 Gen 1 Cables which somehow have to fit into 1 USB 3.1 Gen 1 socket and 1 USB 3.1 Gen 2 Socket. I thought of sata because i have some sata connectors left on my mainbard.

A: This is the new internal system connector introduced about a year ago, and the connectors started to appear on the market since early 2017.

Here is the suggested use:

If your "multicard reader" does have the older 20-pin (2mm pitch blue) internal connector that mates to the cable shown in your question, this is the only way (and the right way) to use the new "U31G2_C1" on-board connector, regardless of "non-promising reviews".
It has to be noted that the USB 3.1 (both Gen1 and especially Gen2), is fairly sensitive to quality of cables and especially to how wires are assembled inside overmolds, so it is possible that early (non-certified) implementations of cables might have signal integrity issues and don't work to user's expectations. So you either search for USB-IF certified cable-adapter, or try to push some luck buying different cables from different manufacturers.

Damien Hirst, Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable (part 1)
Author: Damien Hirst,
TAGS: Exhibition,
The title of Damien Hirst's exhibition in two museums - Punta della Dogana and Palazzo Grassi - in Venice says it all: Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable.

The title of Damien Hirst's exhibition in two museums - Punta della Dogana and Palazzo Grassi - in Venice says it all: Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable. A journey into the past, an epic tale by the British artist showcasing truly remarkable artworks.
Much of what you see depends on how you look at it - which could be the tagline for the exhibition by British artist Damien Hirst, who is showcasing his artworks with "Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable" until 3 December at Palazzo Grassi and Punta della Dogana, the old customs house owned by the Pinault Foundation.
Driven by curiosity and the discordant criticism of this monumental enterprise by Hirst, known for his often controversial work, we decided to spend a day discovering all the details.
The concept al began back in 2008, with the discovery of a shipwreck off the east coast of Africa, supposedly owned by a freedman from Antioch by the name of Cif Amotan II, who lived between the mid-first and early second centuries BCE. He accumulated a vast fortune and built a lavish collection of artefacts sourced from all over the ancient world, which he then wanted to place in a dedicated temple. He loaded them all onto the "Apistos" (which means "Unbelievable" in ancient Greek) but the vessel foundered and its legendary load of inestimable value sank to the bottom of the Indian Ocean.
The artworks recovered in this extraordinary underwater find documented by Jacques Cocteau-style videos are now displayed in the splendid rooms of Punta della Dogana and Palazzo Grassi. Some are being exhibited before restoration, covered in coral and cankers, others are already restored and there's even a series of museum copies of the finds to imagine the works in their hypothetical original state.
Statues of every size in bronze, Carrara marble, pieces in lapis lazuli and pure gold, underwater photos and videos, you wander around these "wunderkammers" and it suddenly strikes you how incredibly immersive the storytelling by Damien Hirst is, crafted with a post-truth creativity where everything is possible precisely because the borderline between real and unreal, fiction and truth has never been as blurred as it is right now.

Holiday memories: 'My first trip to Greece'
The beginning of an ever-lasting love affair

Theodora Maios
2 July 2020 4:33pm
"My first visit to Greece was the beginning of an ever-lasting love affair."
With those words, Greek Australian author Doris Falidis Nickolas describes the first time she travelled to her parents' homeland in March 1976.
Despite being only nine years old, Doris says she felt an instant connection with the country of her ancestors.
"To me spending six months in my parents' beloved homeland was the holiday of a lifetime and a dream come true," Doris said, who together with her seven year old sister Efthimia and two year old brother Ioannis in tow, couldn't wait to meet their grandparents for the first time.
Doris' father Eleftherios, had not seen his parents and siblings since migrating to Australia, in April 1965, while her mother Niki had not seen her family since migrating Down Under in February 1964. So, they anxiously awaited the reunion with their beloved families and the moment they would introduce their children to their parents for the first time.
Dad's Village
"The excitement of finally arriving back to my birthplace, Elassona, after so many years, is a feeling I will never forget. To me the only thing that mattered was seeing my elderly parents and spend some time with them," Eleftherios, who left Greece at the age of 24, said.
After meeting yiayia and pappou for the very first time and, especially yiayia Minodora, who Doris was named after, the young Greek Australian felt like she was the luckiest girl in the world.
"We felt so much love. Our grandparents kept hugging us, as did our aunties and uncles. I loved seeing my dad so happy, proudly showing off our family. I really felt like I belonged there even though Australia was where I was born."

Mum's Village
The time had come for the young family to visit Niki's village, Panteleimonas.
"I could not believe the time had come for me to see my parents, brothers and sisters after so many years in xenitia. I had left Greece as a young nineteen-year-old girl and I was coming home to my parents, as a thirty-one-year-old married woman with three children, whom they had never met before," Niki said.
Whilst everyone was still wiping their happy tears, Doris sneaked out and wandered onto the street. She says she remembers being in awe of the beautiful village with the historical Byzantine Castle as its landmark.
"I could not help but feel as if I had been there before; something about the Greek spring breeze, the enormous mountains that sat as a backdrop to the village again. I felt this kind of belonging," she said.

Always Return
In 2010, after 34 long years, Doris was fortunate enough to travel back to Greece, this time with her husband Dimitrios.
The connection, formed back in 1976, reignited and since then Doris' family has travelled back home five more times.
Interestingly, Doris reveals that her 2010 visit was the inspiration behind her first book 'Life Has Two Doors' which is a memoir about four young women from Panteleimonas in Central Macedonia, reciting their journeys, as they embarked on a new life in Australia in the mid-1960s.
"I will never forget those six memorable months in 1976, meeting our Greek family for the very first time, and forming bonds and connections while travelling this extraordinary land of the Gods. I am just forever grateful to our parents who sacrificed so much to give us the life we live now and I am trying to do the best I can to instil and inspire that same love for Greece, into my own children.
"The love affair continues," Doris concluded.

Home News Russian court rules against new opposition party
Russian court rules against new opposition party
A Russian court on Monday upheld a decision not to register a political party critical of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, making its participation in elections impossible.
The new opposition People's Freedom Party, or Parnas, was founded last year by a coalition of politicians including former deputy prime minister Boris Nemtsov and former prime minister Mikhail Kasyanov.
The justice ministry denied its registration in late June, however, for reasons that the party declared "made-up and untrue," proceeding to contest the ministry's decision in court.
But the Zamoskvoretsky district court in Moscow upheld the ministry's decision on Monday, one of Parnas' coalition members, the People's Democratic Union, said on its website.
"This decision was expected. It's not a secret that courts are part of the power vertical," said Parnas' secretary Konstantin Merzlikin, referring to the highly centralised system of power developed by then-president Vladimir Putin.
"We'll go through the whole process. The next step is the Moscow city court," Merzlikin said in a statement.
By law, a party has to be officially registered in order to stand in elections, and the refusal would prevent Parnas from fielding candidates in parliamentary elections in December and crucial presidential polls in March.
Nemtsov in his blog on Monday called on people to ruin their ballots in both elections — which he described as a "fraud and farce" — by marking them with opposition slogans.
Russia's electoral system provided people with the option of voting "against all" candidates as a matter of protest until the popular practice was outlawed in 2006.

Public Enemy Gives BitTorrent Fans an iTunes Record Deal
The Public Enemy Bundle has been downloaded by more than a million fans. The group's new remix collection, created by BitTorrent listeners and curated by Public Enemy, debuts on iTunes and as a BitTorrent Bundle.
Public Enemy rewrote the rules of hip hop. They pioneered a socially-aware, sonically-dense brand of rap that still reverberates today. It influences what we hear. And it influences what we play. Because they didn't just rewrite the rules of rap sound. They rewrote the rules of music, too. Public Enemy changed the architecture of listening.
In 1999, the group released There's a Poison Goin' On exclusively online. It marked the first time a major artist made their album available as a download. And it made a statement about how distribution should work: a stake in the ground for digital, during a time when the MP3 format was something that labels were actively trying to kill.
Flash forward fourteen years. We've come to accept the MP3. But we still haven't come to terms with online distribution: the promise or the value of direct-to-fan. Can digital delivery bring artists closer to listeners? Can it create more, not less, value? Amid Internet sprawl, the radio station of everywhere, can it solve for discoverability? Public Enemy helped start the major shift to MP3. We worked with them to figure out what's next.
In June, we partnered with Public Enemy to reinvent the hip hop collaboration, bringing the tools to remix the group's single "Get Up Stand Up" to fans around the world.
Over a million multitrack Bundles were downloaded. 91 thousand iTunes album impressions were generated. And 100 new songs were created.
After listening to the BitTorrent fan remixes, Public Enemy chose five tracks to release as a new EP (winners were also hooked up with prizes from Blue Microphones and Native Instruments). Today, that record is available on iTunes. You can sample the new EP as a BitTorrent Bundle: with remixes from Jerome "Jay" Bosco and Counter Intelligence, plus all the multitracks you need to make your own Public Enemy track. Get the iTunes EP.
Public Enemy Presents: Get Up Stand Up | The Remix EP
Featuring new music from Beau Jestice / Counter Intelligence, Ian De Quadros, Ajay Paul Singh (DJ APS), Jerome "Jay" Bosco, and Tim Raiswell (T/RAZE).
Meet the Public Enemy Remix Winners
Beau Jestice / Counter Intelligence
Favorite Public Enemy track:
My favorite song completely depends on how I'm feeling at the time. I mean, really, it can go from "Can't Truss It" to "Leave This Off Your Fuckin Charts" in a day. And the songs aren't as important as the message. Public Enemy has always been a favorite because of the message.
On bringing electronica into hip hop, and keeping the message:
I've been writing and recording my own music since I was about twenty, and I've done a lot of remixes for various artists .But this is actually my first hip hop remix. The process was to keep the message of the song as alive as it is in the original, while putting my own spin on it with the stutter edits and electronic feel. It definitely wasn't a one night session.
I typically don't participate in remix competitions. But this is Public Enemy. Chuck D, as a man and as an artist has always been someone that I really look up to. He isn't scared to say the truth about anything.
Ian De Quadros / Tiger Mendoza
"Fight The Power." Obvious choice, I know, but in my mind it's just a brilliant combination of brilliant production and powerful lyrics. I have a soft spot for "He Got Game", too. Great use of the Buffalo Springfield sample.
Using DnB to tell the "Get Up Stand Up" story:
I've been in bands and playing guitar since I was a kid, and I've done a number of remixes. In 2010, I was named a finalist in a DJ Shadow remix competition. I've been producing properly since about 2008. We've put out four releases as Tiger Mendoza.
I spent two days putting this mix together, which helped keep things tight. The DnB elements came from listening to a lot of Noisia and Black Sun Empire. The vocals were so strong that I thought that a DnB beat would work with it. (ed. note: it did.)
Ajay Paul Singh (DJ APS)
"Welcome to the Terrordome." The reason why is the beat, it exploded and dropped all at once, like ten turntables going on, all at the same time. And hearing Chuck D's flow was just unreal.
Remixing against the obvious:
I've been making party remixes and beats over fifteen years now. I've released ten albums and continue to produce for local artists and also continue to make mega-mixes.
The process for this mix was just sticking by my own brand, building a style I knew would turn heads, and bringing in some of my East Indian background. I felt like a lot of producers would create obvious beats and rhythms. That's not how I work.
Jerome "Jay" Bosco
I had to choose one, it would be "Fight the Power". The production is so dope. Public Enemy and the Bomb Squad pushed the limit of hip hop (and sampling). Nobody else has managed to do more. There are so many samples and scratches that they build new harmonies. After twenty-five years, I'm still discovering sounds I've never heard before.
The message of the song has never been more relevant. We have to fight the power, or we'll fall into darkness.
On that time Flava Flav saved my life:
It was October 1990. I was in front of the stage, and a bunch of guys stole my Kangol and began to hit me. Flav saw that I had problems. He pulled me onstage, and took me backstage to protect me. If that hadn't happened my life would not have been the same. And I wouldn't have made this remix.
Tim Raiswell (T/RAZE)
"You're Gonna Get Yours", because of that guitar sample.
The stuff that went into the remix:
Honestly, it was random: choosing stems separately, and resampling them in Ableton to see what sounded good. I threw in atmospheric samples, and then tweaked it over the course of a few weeks until it sounded right. There are also two VST instruments in the mix: a guitar sampler, and the Massive synth. The rest is stems and loops. It's pretty rare for hip-hop giants like PE to release stems for remixes. So for me, making something was a no-brainer. I'm pumped.
BitTorrent Bundle is an Alpha project, made with and for the web's creative community. Our mission is to help artists connect directly with fans, inside the content they share.
Each BitTorrent Bundle allows artists to distribute content directly to the Internet. And each Bundle comes with a key. Fans can unlock artist content with an email address. The idea is to make each song a storefront, and each file more valuable, each time it's shared. Got ideas for the next BitTorrent Bundle? Hit us up.

X05: Mass Effect First Look
We're there as BioWare unveils an original sci-fi RPG for the Xbox 360 at X05.
By Ricardo Torres | @GS_RT on October 6, 2005 at 7:49PM PDT
AMSTERDAM--If ever there were a developer whose work can be seen as essential for the Xbox 360's success, it's BioWare. The Canadian developer filled a mighty RPG-shaped gap in the original Xbox's software library with the original Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and last year's Asian-themed Jade Empire. Anyone wondering if the seasoned developer was on board the Xbox 360 train stopped wondering when Microsoft showed off a brief trailer announcing Mass Effect, an original RPG for the Xbox 360 from the veteran studio.
The game is being developed by an internal team at BioWare, made up of vets who worked on the original KOTOR. Set in the distant future, the game lets you play as the first human "specter," one of a group of defenders of galactic peace who have gotten unseasonably busy lately. It seems a rogue member of the group controls armies advancing on defenseless worlds. But, as you lead an elite team to stop him, you come to discover that your rogue comrade is the least of your worries.
Though Mass Effect is an original title from BioWare, it shares many of the same elements seen in the Canadian developer's previous work. The game will offer an action role-playing experience that leans heavily on choice-based gameplay in an adventure that spans a galaxy. Though the conflict initially seems clear-cut, you'll discover it's just a piece in a larger conflict between organic life and artificial intelligence. Your actions throughout the game will help humanity fight battles, elevating it to the pinnacle of galactic civilization through either noble or tyrannical means. The rich story, definitely epic-sounding in scale, is so big that Mass Effect is meant to be the first in a trilogy of games set to tell the dense tale.
As far as gameplay goes, it was hard to get an exact sense of what to expect from the game based on the footage from the trailer. Thankfully, questioning of those at X05 yielded some info. The game's core focus is a campaign that has you working to elevate humanity by one means or another. Along the way, you'll option to explore the game's rich worlds and discover new alien life, resources, ruined civilizations, and powerful technologies by visiting uncharted, unexplored planets. Your investigation can even take place via an all-terrain rover. Combat's pretty straightforward and makes use of a real-time, squad-based, tactical combat system. The visuals in the game are contemporary and are dramatic looking. From the look of it, Mass Effect will be a powerful title in the Xbox 360 software library for those hankering for a unique RPG. Look for more on the game shortly.

In December of 2007 I learned that Marie Clay was my second cousin, once removed.
Which is quite distant I suppose as relations go. But still, it was a buzz to know that I was related to one of the world's most renowned teachers.
I got sent a copy of The Journal of Reading Recovery dedicated to her, which closed with extracts from a poem by Maya Angelou.
That's what I hope this will be about.

Your teeth undergo a tremendous amount of stress during your lifetime. Teeth may show this wear in a variety of ways, including discoloration, chipping and cracking. Crowns restore your teeth and smile to look brilliant once again. Porcelain crowns can be made out of porcelain fused to metal or out of all porcelain and can be shaded to match your existing teeth. After some tooth preparation, crowns are specifically fitted to restore functionality and to enhance the appearance of your smile.
Q: What is a crown and why might I need one?
your tooth, while allowing you to keep your natural, underlying tooth structure. Most crowns are precision-milled porcelain and are individually customized for each application in each patient, giving you a natural, long lasting smile.
If you are embarrassed about your smile because of decayed, disfigured or discolored teeth, you may be a good candidate for composite resins.


As long as that means AT&T gets all the pretty ones it's relevant! =P no seriously…they need SOME nice devices other than the iphone. Only decent phones AT&T has are the aforementioned iphone, the aria and the captivate, the last 2 being only recent additions.

Bush, Democrats share in hypocrisy
The hypocrisy is unpardonable. President Bush's decision to commute the sentence of a convicted liar brought out the worst in both parties and politics. In keeping I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby out of jail, Bush defied his promise to hold wrongdoers accountable and undercut his 2000 campaign pledge to "restore honor and dignity" to the White House. And it might be a cynical first step toward issuing a full pardon at the conclusion of his term. Democrats responded as if they don't live in glass houses, decrying corruption, favoritism and a lack of justice.
Capitol Hillbillies
The hypocrisy is unpardonable. President Bush's decision to commute the sentence of a convicted liar brought out the worst in both parties and politics.
In keeping I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby out of jail, Bush defied his promise to hold wrongdoers accountable and undercut his 2000 campaign pledge to "restore honor and dignity" to the White House. And it might be a cynical first step toward issuing a full pardon at the conclusion of his term.
Democrats responded as if they don't live in glass houses, decrying corruption, favoritism and a lack of justice.
"This commutation sends the clear signal that in this administration, cronyism and ideology trump competence and justice," said Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, a leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.
It was a brazen statement from a woman entangled in many Clinton White House scandals, including the final one: On his last day in office, President Clinton granted 140 pardons and 36 commutations, many of them controversial.
One of those pardoned was Marc Rich, who had fled the country after being indicted for tax evasion and whose wife had donated more than $1 million to Democratic causes.
Clinton's half brother, Roger, who was convicted of distributing cocaine and lobbied the White House on behalf of others, also received a pardon.
Hillary Clinton's brother, Hugh Rodham, was paid tens of thousands of dollars in his successful bid to win pardons for a businessman under investigation for money laundering and a commutation for a convicted drug trafficker. Her other brother, Tony, lobbied successfully for clemency on behalf of a couple convicted of bank fraud.
It's hard to fathom that those pardons had absolutely nothing to do with cronyism or ideology, but Hillary Clinton defended them. She drew a distinction between her husband's pardons and Bush's commutation.
In an interview with The Associated Press, the senator said Bill Clinton's pardons were simply a routine exercise in the use of the pardon power, and none was aimed at protecting the Clinton presidency or legacy. "This," she said of the Libby commutation, "was clearly an effort to protect the White House."
Indeed, there is ample evidence that Libby's actions were fueled by animosity throughout the White House toward opponents of the president's push to war against Iraq.
But Hillary Clinton will have a hard time convincing most voters that her brother-in-law would have gotten a pardon in 2001 had his name been Smith. Or that Rich's pardon plea would have reached the president's desk had he not been a rich Mr. Rich.
The hypocrisy doesn't stop there.
Bush vowed at the start of the investigation to fire anybody involved in the leak of a CIA agent's identity, but one of the leakers, adviser Karl Rove, still works at the White House. Libby was allowed to keep his job until he was indicted for lying about his role.
The president said Libby's sentence was excessive. But the 2 1/2 years handed Libby was much like the sentences given others convicted in obstruction cases. Three of every four people convicted for obstruction of justice in federal court were sent to prison, for an average term of more than five years.
Want more hypocrisy? Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney praised the commutation for Libby, quite a departure for a guy who brags that he was the first Massachusetts governor to deny every request for a pardon or commutation. Romney even refused a pardon for an Iraq war veteran who, at age 13, was convicted of assault for shooting another boy in the arm with a BB gun.
What about all the Republican politicians who defied public sentiment and insisted that President Clinton be impeached for lying under oath about his affair with Monica Lewinsky? Many of them now minimize Libby's perjury.
What about all those Democrats who thought public shame was punishment enough for Clinton lying under oath, basically the position adopted today by Libby's supporters? Many of those Democrats now think Libby should go to jail for his perjury.
"There appears to be rank hypocrisy at work here on both sides of the political spectrum," said Joe Gaylord, a GOP consultant who worked for House Speaker Newt Gingrich during impeachment. "It causes Americans to shake their heads in disgust at the political system."
The Libby case followed the same pattern of hype and hypocrisy established during Clinton's impeachment scandal. It's as if we're all sentenced to relive the same sad scene:
A powerful man lies or otherwise does wrong.
He gets caught.
His enemies overreach in the name of justice.
His friends minimize the crime in pursuit of self-interest.
And the powerful man hires a lawyer.
Marc Rich had a high-priced attorney for his battles with the justice system. His name was Scooter Libby.
Ron Fournier has covered politics for The Associated Press for nearly 20 years.

If there are any lawyers posting here I would like to know if it is possible for Bush's interference in the judicial process be nullified by any legal process? The reason I ask is because when it has been discovered that a sitting judge has been a co-conspirirator or has taken a bribe after the fact in cases they have ruled on, their decisions have been reversed and the cases sent back for retrial or whatever was appropriate.
It seems to me that if and when a president makes himself part of the judicial process, he then would be subject to the judiciary. I'm not a lawyer and probably not saying this the right way, but it makes absolutely no sense to me that a president could have monarchial powers under our Constitution. One of the things that has been clearly demonstrated to me during my life is that there is always an appeal of anything in the judicial system. If that is true then Bush's commutation of Libby's sentence should be appealable. Can anyone answer that question?

I have always disliked the presidential pardon thing, but I also have no interest in Libby going to a luxury jail to serve out his term at taxpayer's expense. He was a scapegoat for this administration who smeared the truth teller Wilson and in the process outed a CIA agent his wife, intentionally or unintentionally. Libby was only one of many involved including the VP in the smear.
Smearing those who disagree with them has been what this administration does best. Their loyal propagandists are out there still smearing Wilson. His offense was to publically state that the nuclear rational for the Iraq war was bogus and that the administration should have known it. All true.
The overarching points of this story should be how the nation was duped into war by the Bushies and how they smear dissenters. This is abuse of power, but noone has been charged and that is more threatening to our system of government than whether or not Libby goes to jail. The WH and their enablers have gotten away with lying and smearing us into an unwise, unnecessary, costly, and deadly war. We will be paying for the Iraq war for years to come in the debt we have built up from foreign lenders as well as the hatred around the world the war has generated. Where is the outrage about that?
Mr. Fournier is comparing bad apples with kumquats. Libby is a professional political neo-con thug whereas Rich is not. Rich never served in anyone's White House to help a president lie us into a war we can't get out of.
Anyone having to go back to Clinton to make a few points is missing the huge picture up against their nose.
What Bush did would be analogous to Ford commuting the sentence of H.R. Haldeman. So tell us Mr. Fournier, how many Haldeman types did Clinton pardon?

The problem lies not in our morals, but in the filthy institutions which cultivate such monsters and then excuse their existence. Get some smarts. When money votes it isn't picking the winner of a sack race.

Russian gas could be piped directly to Germany from November through the new Baltic pipeline despite the project's detractors, according to Klaus Haussmann, the chief engineer for Nord Stream 2 at Lubmin (pictured) on the German coast.
He told Deutschlandfunk radio that the "raw" laying of the pipeline would be finished by the summer.
"Then comes the entire installation of the electrical equipment, security chains. And, then it's planned on the large scale that we get the first conduit filled with gas in November, from Russia," Haussmann told the broadcaster.
Nord Stream 2, which is receiving US$950 million in funding from German energy firms Wintershall and Uniper, French utility Engie, British-Dutch giant Royal Dutch Shell and Austrian energy company OMV, is two welded conduits, each with an inside diameter of 120cm, largely following the route of Nord Stream 1 which opened in 2011. It will pipe Siberian gas to Russia's Baltic coast and then 1,230km along the seabed, through Finnish, Swedish and, potentially, Danish maritime territory.
Friends of the Earth claims that seabed wildlife will be "irreparably damaged" by the pipeline.
European Council President Donald Tusk has expressed concern that Nord Stream 2 would lead to Ukraine missing out on €2.5 billion in annual transit fees which the war-torn country currently receives.
The Washington Times reported that the US fears Moscow's "underwater capabilities" could be used to track undersea communication cables, boosting eavesdropping capabilities.
But Haussmann said the main concern was the effect of the Baltic winter and waves on construction rather than international pressure.
"For two years or more, Nord Stream 2 has been pretty much under fire. But at the moment we have more worries with the weather outside," Haussmann added.
Pro-Kremlin RT said Denmark – the only country which has not authorised the project – could be bypassed if it did not get permission.
The Nord Stream 2 venture is owned by Russia's Gazprom, based in Switzerland, and fronted by former German chancellor Gerhard Schröder. The project claims the EU can make savings on carbon dioxide emissions by switching to gas instead of coal.
Last May, Schröder accused US LNG exporters of relying on environmentally ruinous fracking and trying to undermine Nord Stream 2, adding that it was in Europe's interest to obtain "extra natural gas from Russia".
The chairman of Gazprom, Alexei Miller, has previously said that the implementation of the construction schedule for Nord Stream 2 made January 2020 supplies possible.

BoM Joins NGFS and Publishes Financial Stability Report
Basel III, Climate Risk, Basel Liquidity Compliance, Loss Accounting: IFRS 9, Stress Testing
BoM announced that it has become a member of the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System (NGFS), with the request for membership receiving unanimous approval from NGFS members on July 23, 2020. BoM also published the financial stability report, which covers developments in the first quarter of 2020 and updates related to the COVID-19 pandemic. An assessment of risks to financial stability, with a view to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in the domestic financial system are underlined in this report. The report highlights that the financial system in Mauritius appears to be resilient to the pandemic.
The financial stability report highlights that banks in Mauritius entered the COVID-19 period with relatively strong solvency and liquidity positions. The loan portfolio of banks was relatively more skewed toward financial services prior to the pandemic while non-performing loans in affected sectors were low and well-covered. Banks were primarily funded through deposits and enjoyed relatively high Liquidity Coverage Ratios. BoM conducted a survey on the impact of COVID-19 on banks. Risk areas that were covered by the survey included credit quality, profitability, liquidity, capital adequacy, and Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (AML/CFT) and other operational risks. So far, it can be concluded that resilience of the banking system can be supported by three main mechanisms—targeted and timely measures by the authorities, adequate capital and liquidity buffers in the banking system, and prudential measures that have been already followed by banks to deal with contingencies. While risks to banks have increased in the wake of the pandemic, stress tests results show that, so far, banks appear to have adequate liquidity coverage as depicted by Liquidity Coverage Ratio and there seems to be no disruptions to funding.
Although solvency may take a hit with the crisis, banks appear to have adequate buffers. However, if the ripple effects of the crisis remain sustained for a long period of time, some banks appear to be more vulnerable than others. The situation regarding the Global Business sector is equally being monitored, given its importance in funding the banking system and the Balance of Payments. The categorization of Mauritius in the list of jurisdictions under increased monitoring by the Financial Action Task Force and the country's black listing by the EU may also entail risks to the Global Business sector in the absence of remedial measures. However, the Mauritian authorities remain determined to address any deficiencies that remain, to improve the rating category of the country and salvage the reputation and integrity of the jurisdiction.
The report also highlights that BoM has implemented a number of financing options and has reviewed its regulatory and supervisory measures through schemes designed to financially assist borrowers that are most likely to be affected by the crisis. On the regulatory and supervisory fronts, BoM has reviewed the risk-weight for certain categories of exposures and has temporarily put on hold its guideline on income recognition and loan impairment as well as its debt-to-income ratio requirement. Furthermore, banks have been encouraged to be flexible with respect to the application of IFRS 9. Banks have also been encouraged to provide moratoria to existing borrowers to help them contain the effects of the shock on their indebtedness level, with the proviso that these moratoria would not entail penalties in the Mauritius Credit Information Bureau. In addition, various financing schemes have been proposed through the nexus of state-owned financing enterprises to assist businesses most affected by the pandemic. BoM is monitoring the evolution of the major risk indicators for the banking and non-bank deposit-taking sector. It stands ready to take any additional measures it deems appropriate to maintain the stability of the financial system and to mitigate any adverse impact on the economy.

Q: What is the current state of GWT development? I did a GWT project in the past (GWT version 1.4) and it was extremely painful.
Interface is build with code (which it is really bad), requires a lot of slow compiling and waiting, unit testing was awful. Not to mention that integrating with Hibernate was the most annoying thing.
But it looks to me that GWT is really hot among Java developers and I'm reconsidering it.
Have you tried GWT 2.x?  is it better now? I'm particularly interested in the three previous points (slow compiling, UI building and unit testing).

A: Let's address your three main complaints one-by-one.
Slow compilation
This is really a lot better now in a number of ways.

*

*Compilation has become faster.

*The GWT compiler can compile several permutations in parallel.

*The (god awful) "hosted mode" browser has been replaced with a "development mode" browser plugin so that you can test in your favourite mainstream browser without compilation.

UI building
Yes. UiBinder.
Write HTML "templates" that include elements that act as placeholders for widgets. Elements representing panels (widgets that can contain widgets) can contain elements representing other widgets.
Yes, there will still be some aspect of composing widgets in Java, but this is now greatly reduced.
Unit testing
How was it awful before? Your logic code can still be run through JUnit. Recently, there has been a much heavier push toward MVP design in GWT, so presumably much more of your code can be tested with plain old JUnit.
GWT also has a manner of unit testing where a non-interactive browser is run. In my experience this can usually be safely avoided when using plenty of JUnit tests both for client (presenter) and server code.

If drooling in your dog is accompanied by some other symptoms like lip or mouth swellings, problems with eating and drinking, foul odor from mouth, vomiting, lethargy and weakness then take your pet to the vet.
Excessive salivation in some dogs is normal. Dogs can also secrete saliva under some specific stimuli like food, excitement, and heat etc.
So, you should discus this with your local vet.
My dog doest usually drool but for the last couple days she has had a slime coming out of one side of her mouth. She is not acting herself. She almost seems like she doesnt feel good. I checked her mouth and there are not visible sores or foreign objects.
Some dogs drool when they feel stressed or anxious. It could also be a physical reason, like a bad tooth, or ingestion of a poison or irritant.
As you say your dog feels unwell, I think a visit to the vet would be a good idea, as this is a symptom which could be something quite easy to deal with, or quite serious.
Excessive salivation can be normal for some breeds like Great Dane. Some conditions can cause excessive drooling that are also considered normal. These can be stimuli like food, excitement, and heat etc.
A sudden and excessive drooling in dogs can be sign of illness. This can be due to many reasons like gum & dental diseases, tongue injury, stomach disorders, mouth ulcers, tumors in mouth, etc.
If your dog is drooling with following signs then visit to vet immediately.
She just drools all the time for no reason an we can't figure it out. I thought she had to throw up but she didn't . This has been going on for two days now. It just keeps hanging out of the side of her mouth really bad. Please tell me what to do. She is a akita/boxer mix.
Check her teeth to see if she has a missing one or if she has something in one if you have not already done that.
My dog drooled a lot after he ate a battery once...it can also be because the dog is stressed out. Some dogs just slobber because of their breed. Id look into the behavioral traits of your breed of dog.
If your dog is also showing general signs of illness like loss of appetite, lethargy etc, then take him to vet for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Did you notice when your dog drool excessively? If he or she drool while looking at foods or during play, excitement or exposure to heat then no need to worry because these are normal conditions that cause drooling in dogs. Some medical conditions can also sudden and excessive drooling that should be investigated by the vet. Following are some common causes of excessive drooling in dogs.
So, if your dog has sudden excessive salivation then take him to vet for diagnosis and treatment.
I've had my shih tzu for 5 months and every month or so I get up to find him drolling a lot which makes all his chest and belly wet, although he's ok in himself. It usually lasts the day and I have keep drying him. What could be wrong with him?
He might be about to throw up. That's when dogs normally drool like that. But, if he does it all the time, you might want to consider asking your vet.
My dog just recently started having this same problem, we returned from the beach and she was fine and then she started flopping around, staring off into space and drooling EXCESSIVELY! I just checked for any foreign objects and/or insect bites but theres nothing!

Bharti Airtel, Vodafone may raise over $5 billion through stake sale in tower venture
Updated May 02, 2019 | 11:51 IST | ET Now Digital
Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Group are expected to retain a minimum of 13% at the beginning, allowing them certain rights such as veto powers over signing and terminating contracts with clients, among others.
New Delhi: Bharti Airtel and Vodafone- may raise over $5 billion by selling part stake in the tower company to be created through the merger of Bharti Infratel and Indus Towers.
According to a report in the Economic Times, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Group Plc are in talks with a consortium led by private equity firm KKR to slash their stakes by over half in the company that will be created by the imminent merger of Bharti Infratel and Indus Towers. This stake sale could lead to a change in management at the merged entity.
"The combined entity is being valued at $12-13 billion and once Bharti Infratel and Indus Towers merge, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Group are aiming to bring their stakes down to around 13% each," a person with knowledge of the development told the business daily.
It may be noted that the merger of Bharti Infratel and Indus Tower has been in the making for about a year and it is expected to complete soon. Merger of the two entities will come up for approval at the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on May 14. "The stake sales in the new entity should conclude by June, when the merger is likely to close," another person having knowledge of the matter told ET.
After the merger, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Group, which currently hold 42% stake in Indus Tower, will own 37.2% and 29.4% respectively in the merged entity. KKR and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) will own a combined 6%, arising from their stake of over 10% in Bharti Infratel. Vodafone Idea, currently holding over 11% in Indus, is expected to exit at the time of the merger, the ET report said.
"Post merger, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Group would reduce their stakes, by selling them primarily to KKR and a small part to Canada Pension and some others," the second person quoted above told the publication.
KKR could eventually hold between 25-32% stake in the merged entity, while Canada pension fund and others may own a minority stake in the company.
The above-mentioned sources told ET Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Group are expected to retain a minimum of 13% at the beginning, allowing them certain rights such as veto powers over signing and terminating contracts with clients, among others. However, the Vodafone Group is expected to eventually exit the tower company.
If the merged entity is valued at $13 billion, Bharti Airtel could raise about $3.2 billion (Rs22,400 crore) by reducing its stake from over 37% to 13%. On its part, the Vodafone Group could raise around $2.1 billion by reducing its holding to 13% from over 29%, the business daily mentioned.

Scott's next nursery dog is Scott Kelso's Joe.
Scott will be running Joe through May and he will return to Scott Kelso after Dr. Ben's trial in North Carolina.
Joe was bred by Bev Lambert and is out of her Awel (Nell). Nell was imported from Wales and goes back twice to Aled Owen's first Roy (1999 ISDS Champion). On the other side, Joe's lines are so strong to Western Canadian dogs that one would think he'd finally come home when he came to Alberta for training this Winter. His father is Bev's Joe, who's mother is Dennis Gellings's Jan the 2009 Canadian Champion.
Jan was bred by Pam Boring and is from Pink Mountain, BC (that's WAY up there). Joe also goes back to Norm Sommer's Gyp and JoAnne Zoerb's Mik.
Joe K. is only 16 months old so most of his classes will be in the Pro-Novice with a few Nursery classes thrown in on the easier fields. The idea is to build his confidence this year so that when Scott Kelso has him back, he can be ready for next year's nursery classes.
Joe is a biddable and keen worker with a great stop and nice open flanks. His first trial will be at the end of April at the Stirling Acres Trial in BC.

The Hiccup origin story is a rather unlikely one for a breakneck paced, harmony-laden indie band. Dual vocalists Hallie Bulleit (formerly of The Unlovables) and Alex Clute first met when they began playing together in the house band on a late-night television program. The Chris Gethard Show – a club house for suburban dorks, outcasts, punks and nerds – is peppered with brief bursts of kinetic pop-punk songs by Clute and Bulleit's TV band, The LLC, about such topics as building birdhouses, having weird body parts, and eating sandwiches (to name but a few). They are micro-pop perfection that are, at most, 30 seconds long and as soon as they're performed live on the show, they disappear forever as quickly as they appeared, never to be performed or heard again. Alex and Hallie were bonded by their common love of, and capacity for creating memorable pop hooks."
Eventually after playing together and not really having the ability to be too precious or protective over the songs we were writing for the show due to time constraints," Clute says. "We thought Hey, maybe this can translate into something similar but with more of a lasting impression."
And thus, with the addition of drummer Piyal Basu, Hiccup was born. Bulleit and Clute began penning songs within the realm of girl-group pop meets buzz saw distorted guitars that the Ramones pioneered, the immediacy of which was later expanded upon by bands such as the Smoking Popes, and the Lookout Records roster. On initial listen, singles like "Lady MacBeth & Miss Havisham" and "Teasin'" have that instant resonance of pop appeal. But there is also a dark and stormy element in the production and approach, that hints at Kevin Shields' My Bloody Valentine output or some of the more dissonant Belle And Sebastian moments.
Imaginary Enemies, Hiccup's debut full-length effort, was produced by Kyle Gilbride (Waxahatchee, Swearin', All Dogs), and is out now on Father/Daughter Records.


Tornado-Babel adds i18n and l10n support to tornado with the help of babel and speaklater. It has builtin support for date formatting as well as a very simple and friendly interface to gettext translations.
Torando comes bundled with pretty basic locale support basic and does not offer support for merging translation catalogs and several other features most multi language applications require. The module also adds more date and number formatting helpers.
Tornado-Babel also includes a plugin for Babel to extract translatable strings from tornado templates.
After that, it's time to create a .pot file. A .pot file contains all the strings and is the template for a .po file which contains the translated strings. Babel can do all that for you.
Now that you have a translatable application and translations, you can load the translations of your application using load_gettext_translations(). The function takes two arguments: directory which is the root path of the folder where translations are stored and domain (which is used to match against translation file names). In the above example, the directory would be the absolute path of translations and the domain would be messages .

Q: parse complicate json in javascript I get JSON object from Mongo DB. This is JSON.
**JSON**
{
    "_id" : ObjectId("5265347d144bed4968a9629c"),
    "name" : "ttt",
    "features" : {
        "t" : {
            "visual_feature" : "t",
            "type_feature" : "Numeric",
            "description_feature" : "Time"
        },
        "y" : {
            "visual_feature" : "y",
            "type_feature" : "Nominal",
            "description_feature" : "Values to be mapped to the y-axis"
        },
        "x" : {
            "visual_feature" : "x",
            "type_feature" : "Numeric",
            "description_feature" : "Values to be mapped to the x-axis"
        }
    }
}

I'm trying to build a table from "features" attributes in JSON object.
How to access to "features" attributes (it is a sub json object)in javascript?  It is important to get values from "visual_feature", "type_feature" and "description_feature".
UPD
I have a solution.
  $.ajax({
                                url: VASERVER_API_LOC + '/visualization/' + visid + '/',
                                type: 'GET',
                                contentType: "application/json",
                                 data: tmp_object,
                                success: function(json) {
                                    var result = [];
                                    var keys = Object.keys(json);
                                    keys.forEach(function (key){
                                    result.push(json[key]);
                                    });

                                    for(var i=0; i<result.length; i++){
                                    console.log(">>>  visual_feature  ==  " + result[i].visual_feature);
                                    console.log(">>> type_feature  ==   "  + result[i].type_feature);
                                    console.log(">>>  discription_feature  ==  " + result[i].description_feature);
                                    };

                                }
                            });

Thank you!!!

A: Assuming your JSON result is an object, loop through like this:
for (var feature in result.features) {
  if (object.hasOwnProperty(feature)) {
    // do table building stuff
    console.log(feature);
  }
}

If it's not an object, you'll do JSON.parse(result)
To access the child properties, you can do another for in loop inside.

A: JSON creates normal Javascript objects.
You can access their properties just like those of any other object:
var myValue = myObject.features.x.visual_type;

Уош () е залив в западната част на Северно море, на иточното крайбрежие на остров Великобритания.

Вдава се в сушата на 35 km, ширина на входа 20 km, максимална дълбочина до 40 m. Формата на залива наподобява квадрат със страни около 25 km. Според Международната хидрографска организация входа на залива е на североизток и се простира по линията на носовете Гибралтар на северозапад и Ханстейтън на югоизток, като дължината между тях е 19,5 km. Крайбрежието му е предимно низинно, акумулативно и блатисто. Бреговата му линия е слабо разчленена. В него се вливат няколко реки, най-големи от които са Уитъм и Уейланд, вливащи се от запад, Нен и Грейт Уз – от юг. Температурата на водата през зимата е около 0°С, а през лятото до 20°С. Приливите са полуденонощни с височина до 7,6 m. Най-големи градове и пристанища са Кингс Лин в устието на река Грейт Уз и Бостън – в устието на река Уитъм.

Congratulations to Troegs Brewing of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Its HopBack Amber Ale has won this year's Washington Post March Beer Madness.
fresh from a cask at a recent festival.
Thirty-two beers, sourced from across the US, were winnowed down in a bracket-style blind-judging competition. Although the beers were sourced from across the US, the Final Four consisted only of beers from the East Coast: Troegs, Baltimore's Raven Special Lager, and New York's Ommegang Hennepin and Brooklyn Brown.
The Washington Post story here.

Caveat: I work for a northern Virginia wholesaler that distributes beers from Raven and Brooklyn Brewing.
HopBack deserves the win. Great beer. Actually the Final Four are great beer.
More great pub for Troegs. And deservedly so.

Do I Have to Pay Child Support if I Don't Get to See My Children?
It hardly seems fair to pay your child support on time, week after week, month after month, only to have your ex-husband or ex-wife prevent you from seeing your children. In fact, problems with visitation are one of the most common reasons given by parents for not paying their child support. However, child support and visitation are two totally separate issues, and you cannot stop paying child support simply because your ex-spouse is not allowing you to see your children.
While it is tempting to stop your child support payments in order to get back at your ex-spouse for not letting you see the kids, it won't help you out in the long run. Just as your ex-spouse is ordered to allow you visitation with your children, you are ordered to pay child support. Therefore, if you don't pay child support, for whatever the reason, you are violating the terms of a court order, and you can be punished by the court for doing so. It will also not reflect well on you if you complain to the court about your ex-spouse violating a court order by not allowing you to visit, when you are also violating a court order.
The only exception to this rule, which is rare, is when your ex-spouse disappears with your children for an extended period of time, which effectively prevents you from having any contact with your children at all. In this case, some courts have held that a parent's child support obligation should stop, at least on a temporary basis, until the ex-spouse and children are located.
Barring this exception, you should continue to pay child support as ordered, even if your ex-spouse does not allow you to see the children as ordered. The proper remedy for problems with visitation is to turn to the court for assistance, not to stop paying child support. Just as you can be held accountable and/or punished by the court for failing to pay child support, your ex-spouse can be similarly held accountable and/or punished.
If you are having trouble with your ex-spouse over visitation, your best bet is to seek advice from an attorney who can advise you what steps to take next. While you might be able to work out visitation problems informally with your ex-spouse in some circumstances, you may need more formal assistance with this issue. A lawyer can contact your ex-spouse, or his or her lawyer, and try to come to some sort of resolution as to visitation with your children. If reaching an agreement is not possible, then the lawyer can help you use the court system to enforce your rights to see your children as ordered. For instance, if two parents cannot agree whether the father should have overnight visitation with two young children, then the court will make a determination of whether overnight visitation is appropriate, and how often it should occur. In any case, the court can help you enforce your visitation rights, and it is a much smarter solution than simply stopping your child support payments in order to get back at your ex-spouse.
