Schwinn® Airdyne® AD6

Economical Airdyne® upright exercise bike for light-institutional use!

This sleek Schwinn® Airdyne® exercise bike features a synced arm/leg motion for a classic total body workout. Its lower profile allows for easier on/off, and its padded seats make for better comfort throughout your workout.

Ideal for Rehabilitation

While the bike is perfect for anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality workout, it is especially ideal in rehabilitative settings. Users are able to isolate their upper body by using only the handles, or focus on their lower body by using only the pedals. If they wish to train their whole body, simply apply force with arms and legs. The ability to pinpoint specific body areas is an important element of many rehab exercises.

Entry-Level Bike

Featuring a metal frame, users can count on riding this reliable bike for years to come. Wheels on the front of the frame allow the user to tip the bike slightly up and roll it from location to location. Foot straps on the self-balancing pedals provide greater motion control, and four levelers ensure stability once the bike is in your preferred position.

Extra efforts have been made to increase the bike’s comfort, including an oversized adjustable seat cushion with biomechanically correct positioning for proper knee placement. The seat can be adjusted to accommodate users of all heights.

LCD Display

The bike’s LCD display provides a clear visual into the workout metrics. View all key data at once, and use a unique RevMeter RPM gauge that acts as a perfect motivator for interval training. Truck delivery.

Mirabelle Jam (Yellow Cherry Plum Jam)

I have literally been meaning to post this mirabelle jam recipe since July, but then the summer holidays happened, which blew everything out of the water. Now in September mirabelles are totally out of season (in the UK), but if you're reading this in June or July, get foraging.

We found these little yellow plums, also known as cherry plums or mirabelles, growing wild on trees in Dorney (near Windsor). They are the size of cherry tomatoes and are soft yet firm when ripe and easily come off the stalk when picked. They have a stone inside which is easy to remove if you squish them a little.

Mirabelles make excellent jam and they are much quicker to harvest than blackberries being bigger! This mirabelle jam recipe is my favourite to date, it's tangy and the spices give warmth and flavour. Mirabelle jam has a lovely orangey-brown colour and is delicious on toast or scones.

Check out this easy blackberry jam video I made a while back which has lots tips if you've not made jam before. It's much easier than you think and you don't need any fancy equipment or ingredients.

Mirabelle Jam (yellow cherry plum)

  • Time:  Around 1 hour start to finish
  • Calories: 43 per tablespoon*
  • Makes: around 3 x 450g jars

  • 1.3kg of mirabelles / yellow cherry plums washed & stalks removed (roughly 1kg without stones)
  • 100ml water
  • 750g granulated sugar
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp butter

If you want to keep your jam for a long time you'll need to sterilise some jars to store it. For this recipe, use 3 x 450g glass jars with lids or the equivalent. Wash them well in hot soapy water (or put them through your dishwasher) and then dry them in a pre-heated oven at 140 C / 120 fan / gas mark 6 for 10 minutes. Oven drying the jars will sterilise them so your jam won't go mouldy. Switch off the oven and leave them in there until you are ready use. You want the jars to still be warm when you pour the hot jam into them so they do not crack.

Put 2 or 3 sauces or small plates in the freezer ready for testing the jam later to see if it has set. Also get a heat proof mat (or a couple of tea towels) and oven gloves ready for handling the hot jars later on.

1. Stone the mirabelles by squeezing each one between your fingers until it splits. Discard stones.

2. Using kitchen scissors, snip up the plums in a bowl to chop them up roughly.

3. Put the mirabelles, water, lemon, sugar and spices in a large deep pan over a low heat. Stir to warm though and dissolve all the sugar - it's very important the sugar is completely dissolved before you move on.

4. Once the sugar has dissolved, increase the heat until the mixture is on a rolling boil (this means it's constantly bubbling). If you have a thermometer you will see that this is 104 C. Please be careful as it's very very hot! Keep boiling for 15 minutes without reducing the heat, as this will cause the jam to set. Give it the occasional stir to stop it catching on the bottom of the pan.

5. After 15 minutes you can test the jam to see if it has set. Put a teaspoon of your hot jam onto one of your cold saucers from the freezer. When it is cold run your finger through it. You will know if it's set as you will see a little channel on the plate where you have run your finger. It will be jam-like consistency. If it's too runny, boil for 5 minutes longer and repeat the 'plate test' until it has set.

6. When you are satisfied the jam has reached the setting point, turn off the heat and stir the butter into the jam. This will cause any white 'scum' on the surface to dissolve. (Some people spoon this off but I don't bother, I just use the butter trick and the jam is fine). Leave the jam to cool for about ten minutes before pouring it into the sterilised jars. Use oven gloves to hold the jars and pop the jars onto a heatproof surface or a couple of tea towels.

7. Fill the jars almost to the top - leave about 1cm gap. Screw on the lids tight straight away and as the hot jam cools it will suck the lid in and make a seal (like jars of jam you buy in the shops before they are opened). The jam will last in sealed jars for 2 years. Once opened eat within 8 weeks.

2011 SONIC BLOOM Festival Tickets On Sale Now

Ticket sales are underway for the 6th annual SONIC BLOOM, an electronic music and arts festival scheduled to take place in Georgetown, CO on June 24-26, 2011.

Tucked away in the gorgeous landscapes of the Colorado Rockies, SONIC BLOOM has been a destination for die-hard music enthusiasts and artists, alike, for the past six years running. Intimate, and enchanting, the festival's allure has spread, attracting attendees from around the world.

SONIC BLOOM has become synonymous with cutting edge electronic music. Stars are born in this mountainous enclave - the vanguards on the scene today have all come through SONIC BLOOM, at some point, and this year is no different. The lineup tips its hat to the pioneers, veterns and the hottest newcombers in the industry including headliners EOTO, TIPPER SOUND EXPERIENCE, MALA (one-half of original UK dubstep explorers Digital Mystikz), VibeSquaD, Random Rab, Zilla, MartyParty, Heyoka, An-ten-nae, David Starfire, LYNX, Break Science, Janover, SPL, Gramatik, NastyNasty and more than 50 other innovative electronic artists.

Picturesque doesn't even begin to describe SONIC BLOOM's new home. Located less than an hour from Denver in Georgetown, CO, Shadows Ranch provides the perfect setting for a weekend of musical, artistic, and spiritual exploration. The ranch is literally in the shadows of giant, granite behemoths at the gateway to the Rocky Mountains. A river flows through the site, with its clear pond, lush grassy fields and shady campgrounds only a short distance from the stages. Plenty of parking will be available onsite as well.

More than just music, SONIC BLOOM will cater to each of your senses. Relax, invigorate, and expand your mind and body with morning yoga sessions, exotic foods, incredible art, and fascinating workshops. Attendees are encouraged to wear costumes and generally show off their skills. If you juggle, spin fire, or are a live painter, come on up. SONIC BLOOM wants you to be a part of the show in the crisp mountain air.

To gear up for the festival a number of coast to coast festivals have been planned including two events that completely SOLD-OUT in Denver and Dallas as well as another two pre-party events to come in San Francisco on Friday, May 20th at 103 Folsom and again in New York City on June 11th.

Catch some of the biggest names in electronic music, and tomorrow's dance friendly superstars under the majesty of the Rockies and engage in the ultimate intimate, boutique festival experience that is SONIC BLOOM.

Report: Moto G successor to ship on Sept. 10

Moto G
Credit: The Official Motorola Blog

The follow-up to Motorola’s Moto G will cost about $330 and be available in early September, according to a report from GSM Arena.

Referencing information from an anonymous retailer, the website also details specs for the phone, which is referred to either as the G2 or G+1. The device will reportedly have a 5-inch, 720p display, Snapdragon 400 chipset with a quad-core 1.2GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, and 1GB of RAM.

It’s also slated to ship with Android 4.4.4 and at 8GB of storage.

The current Moto G is offered in two models. A 4G LTE version has 8GB of storage with support for up to 32GB of microSD space. The non-LTE phone has 8GB and 16GB options. It is available from a variety of US carriers and as a Google Play Edition.

The upcoming phone will likely be under the control of Lenovo, which is in the process of purchasing Motorola Mobility from Google for $2.9 billion.

These rumors follow another leak about the flagship Moto X+1, which is also expected to launch this fall.

Ladies' Auxiliary of the David Scannell Club

City and County Federation of Women's Clubs

Ladies' Auxiliary of the David Scannell Club
Transcribed by Elaine Sturdevant

Ladies' Auxiliary of the David Scannell Club
Miss Elizabeth BUTT, President

Organized 1917
Federated 1917
Meets first and third Wednesday evenings

The Ladies' Auxiliary of the David Scannell Club, although in its infancy, has proven its worth to the Firemen and to the public in general. During the years 1917 and 1918 our members spared neither time nor energy in the effort to make our Fire Department second to none in the world. With our assistance the Firemen have achieved the Two Platoon System, thus making home and working conditions more humane. This was also a civic welfare victory, for it has made life and property safer because of more efficient service. The Firemen have also gained a slight increase in pay to meet the much increased cost of living.

We had a committee of ten members at the sewing room of the Navy Auxiliary of the Red Cross during the period of the war. We have bought and sold Liberty Bonds, have participated in parades, and have provided supper for the returned soldiers and furnished hundreds of boxes of lunches for the sailors on the great navy Day Reception at the Civic Center.

Our members have given generously of jams and jellies to the wounded and sick at the Letterman Hospital. We have given entertainments, dances and refreshments to soldiers and sailors, most of whom were strangers in our city.

We find, at the end of the year, we are still prosperous and all members happy to do their utmost at any time to help those who may be in need of our assistance.

Just curious when you are doing the backspin let just say for this example in a clockwise fashion - do you pull at K-10, K12 or at K-2 (o'clock)? After awhile is it just a pull when you see the back of the kite? When do you walk forward or extend your other arm? What are your indicators?

Stable fade first.

Push your right arm forward and watch the left wing drop back then drop down slightly... this point you need to 'sweep' your right hand slow-to-fast, an accelerated pull like starting a lawn mower. Immediately you need to put your left arm out as far as it will go to give slack.

When the kite completes one rotation, the input needed to keep it spinning will be less; more of a small, even pull because the spin momentum is already there, but you have to 'see' where to hit it and that takes a bit of practice.

Keep the left hand extended when you hit the rotations and even in the lightest wind, the backspin will have you moving forwards with the feet. It's a good one for un-twisting lines in light winds.

Don't get paranoid and have the kite at the top of the window when learning this, it's actually easier to pull off closer to the ground (that's how I cracked it).

Watch any video of a Backspin Cascade and you will hopefully note that each left/right input is exactly the same as starting any backspin. That 'starting the lawn mower' approach.

Stay low and stick with it, it's actually not that hard once you get the initial rotation going. Just timing.

Who Needs Lobbyists?

The mobilization of 3,000 motorcyclists who registered as Likud members to lower insurance fees has created a new political phenomenon in Israel.

The 3,000 motorcyclists who registered as Likud members were quick to realize where the real money is. Overnight, they became the most influential pressure group in the country after their move put an end to years-long governmental foot-dragging on lowering their insurance fees.

Irrespective of whether they are right or wrong, their mobilization has created a new political phenomenon in Israel, which is the modern-day equivalent of Mapai's "red book." Once the Histadrut labor federation membership certificate, the so-called "red book" was, back in the day, a person's key to getting a job. And in Benjamin Netanyahu's revered free market, this is the new, barely conspicuous "blue book." It is the ultimate proof that Likud has become a natural party of government, where it will clearly remain for a long time.

Like the "red book," the "blue book" is a typically Israeli phenomenon, and a key element in understanding Israeli society and its economy. Because today, just like in the merry old days of Mapai, the higher echelons of the civil service all own one; they are associates and cronies, instead of professional civil servants who should be committed to nobody except the people. On some occasions the "blue book" holder has a beard and tzitziot, on others a Russian accent. One way or another, the "blue book" is as effective as its predecessor. And it shapes the new political reality against which hundreds of thousands of formerly privileged people protested last summer, after their parents' "red book" expired.

Like the signs at French level crossings saying that "every train may hide another," it hides another element, which is much more dangerous for democracy. The Israeli public will likely remain unaware of it until it emerges and runs it over, together with its increasingly eroded civilian agenda. That element is the recruitment process, and more precisely, member recruiters themselves. Who, other than politicos, knows these shabby and skillful people? Who knows who they work for, or against? Who knows how many Likud or Labor voters they recruited for Kadima, and vice versa? Who truly knows his or her way around the complex rules that allow them to approach everybody - left, right or center - and close deals in party primary, Histadrut or municipal elections? Who is aware of the pressure groups they bring into party politics?

Over the past years, party membership has become an exercise with a tenuous relation to ideology. It applies mostly, but not only, to parties of government. The recruiters have created an independent executive committee which looks after the interests of pressure groups. Just recently, the revelation of the extent of lobbyist intervention in Israeli legislation led to an uproar. But who needs lobbyists when you have 3,000 party members?

To the motorcyclists' credit, it must be said that they acted in the most transparent way, and only when they became party members they disappeared from the public eye. But that's hardly their fault - they only sought to secure their interests in an increasingly ruthless political landscape. The true culprits are the political parties: They have long since blurred the ideological differences between them and become impresarios. And like an impresario in showbiz, whose clout grows with every famous performer he signs up, so are the parties becoming more influential with every new member. And like an impresario, they pamper their clients with work and benefits.

These are the underlying currents of Israeli politics, which have nothing to do with ideology or leadership. Abandoned by a deficient political culture, its sole driving force is the anonymous party member recruiter, holding a blue book.

Fulham bade farewell to the Barclays Premier League with a whimper as a crushing loss at the Britannia Stadium combined with results elsewhere consigned the Whites to relegation to the Championship.

Goals from Peter Odemwingie, Marko Arnautovic, Oussama Assaidi and Jonathan Walters sealed the visitors' fate after a dismal performance in which a late consolation from Kieran Richardson was rendered irrelevant.

Sunderland's 1-0 win at Old Trafford confirmed Fulham were relegated for the first time since they plunged into the league's bottom division in 1994 - and Felix Magath's first in his lengthy managerial career with nine different clubs.

The Whites had travelled up the M6 hoping for a miracle but might have guessed it would not be their day when Hugo Rodallega - whose winners against Norwich and Aston Villa had given them hope - was ruled out due to illness.

But Magath's men had no excuses for a simply abject performance, particularly in the first half, from which they were highly fortunate to escape with just a single goal deficit.

The home side, with nothing to play for but a top 10 finish, dominated from the first whistle and should have gone ahead in the third minute when Oussama Assaidi blazed over from a Steven Nzonzi cut-back.

Lewis Holtby sailed a long-range free-kick straight into Asmir Begovic's arms in what passed for one of the visitors' few early chances, while at the other end a blunder by Mahamadou Diarra played in Stephen Ireland, who was only denied by a fine close-range save from David Stockdale.

Assaidi stung Stockdale's hands again on the half-hour before Hangeland booted clear, and but for the tenacious midfield work of Richardson the Cottagers looked strangely devoid of fight.

Even news of scores going against them elsewhere could not rouse the visitors and the increasingly inevitable Stoke opener arrived on 39 minutes when Ireland's shot struck Dan Burn, ricocheted against the underside of the bar and bounced down for Odemwingie to tap home.

It was all Stoke deserved for a first half bristling with purpose, and it could have been more moments later when Arnautovic brought another good save out of Stockdale.

The massed ranks of visiting supporters did their best to rouse their side at the start of the second period with the other half-time scorelines weighing heavily against them.

Fulham briefly threatened when a cross from substitute Ashkan Dejagah was headed away by Marc Wilson, but almost immediately the visitors were left reeling from a classic counter-attack.

Odemwingie again found space on the left and his cross squired through Brede Hangeland's legs to the unmarked Arnautovic, who smashed his shot high into the roof of the net.

Still Fulham were not roused from their torpor, Assaidi only denied a third for Stoke in the 58th minute thanks to another superb save from Stockdale.

Stoke continued to press, Arnautovic drilling a seemingly goalbound effort against Heitinga with the visitors looking curiously resigned to their fate.

And their nightmare continued in the 73rd minute when, after Darren Bent scuffed a shot in the Stoke box, the home side launched a swift counter-attack which ended in Arnautovic squaring for Assaidi to knock home the goal his performance deserved.

It was a mark of Fulham's resignation to their fate that Richardson's consolation goal on 80 minutes, when he turned in a right-wing cross from Dejagah, was met with next to no celebrations.

Two minutes later, the visitors' misery was complete when substitute Walters finished off another flowing counter-attacking move to seal a superb performance from the hosts - and one Fulham will wish to forget.

Interview with Bernd Lehahn – Head of Egosoft and Darren Astles – Fiction Co-Author.

HCW: How have you addressed some of the issued raised with the original game being too limited, and forcing the player into having to do trading missions to advance?

Egosoft: We have given the player a better starting position, a ship that comes with some of the expected equipment from the start. This is woven into the plot, but with the game being freeform the player can at any time, right at the outset, decide on a career path that suits them. Of course they can then sample each lifestyle at will, be it trader, mercenary, pirate, miner and so on.

They will be able to go and begin plundering the space lanes immediately as long as they pick their targets carefully, or trade in for a ship more suited to their chosen style of game play.

HCW: What advantages and limitations do you experience by using the "Elite" model of game?

Egosoft: It’s a freeform game with a rich plot running through it. Because we give the player as much freedom as possible, they can experience a much deeper game and play for a longer period than you would with some other types of games. We have taken a lot of praise for our dynamic trading system, but it’s not just the trade. The whole game Universe is dynamic. If you can see it, there is a good chance you can acquire it and you can almost certainly blow it up, if you play in that style.

This of course brings payback from the offended side and we attempt to bring a balance to this. Then of course, this brings its own problems with the plot. If you destroy a particular installation that is pivotal to the plot, we have to decide how we can respawn it in a believable way, if at all. That said, it is unlikely that a player will have the amassed firepower to destroy such structures early in the game.

HCW: Just for the destructive types out there whose attention was drawn by the “if you can see it, you can blow it up” statement, does this include things like planets?  What does it include that might not be obvious at the outset?

Egosoft: Planets? The “player” cannot destroy planets or moons, no; there are no weapons available to the player that are strong enough to cause this amount of devastation. They are real objects though, not just painted backgrounds, you can fly around them or even into them. As for other items, then yes. Space stations, jump gates, any ship and asteroids. Anything really, but firing your small fighters’ lasers and a few missiles at a shipyard is only going to result in you becoming the hunted. You will need big ships and/or a large fleet before you start re-arranging the Universe.

HCW: How dynamic is the universe?  Generally, what can and can’t be affected, and to what degree?

Egosoft: A few examples will probably help to visualize the dynamics. Firstly, the X-Universe and all its inhabitants are self-sufficient. They don’t need you to be involved. Factories make goods, cargo ships transport them to where they are required and patrol ships attack pirates or enemies. Shipyards will create lost ships and send them back on patrol (including capital ships). It’s not scripted. It’s alive!

So what could you do? Blend in. Go hauling legal goods for small profits. Keep to the inner sectors where the capital ships roam and offer protection. Take on easy missions, build up a reputation and save for that Bliss farm on the outer rings of Preachers Refuge.

Or you could take the pirate life, dangerous, but rewarding. Have bigger ships with bigger missions and the fast life. Always looking over your shoulder and scanning the radar, carrying seeker missiles instead of Chelt skins.

Let me give you some detailed examples. I was sitting in one race’s sector, minding my own business (well actually, I was taking a keen interest in the traffic with my newly purchased freight scanner) when I noticed a Boron cargo ship exit the gate. Now normally, this wouldn’t raise so much as an eyebrow, but I was in Paranid space and people familiar with the fiction surrounding the X-Universe will know, Boron and Paranid aren’t the best of friends. You can read about all of this in the fiction that ships with the game.

The Boron ship appeared to be heading all the way through the sector, but before it had reached half way, the local patrol ships had destroyed it. So what did this tell me? Firstly, a required resource for a factory somewhere in Boron space had temporarily run dry. So the factory requiring it had sent its vessel on a long and ultimately, deadly voyage.

Now, this means that the Boron shipyard will, in time, deliver another trading vessel to replace the one lost by the factory. The factory still needs the resource and will have a major delay now in getting it. What does that factory make? Do you see the potential knock on effect?

Then me? I’ve just seen, simply by watching, a gap in the market. I could haul that resource myself and they’d pay top dollar for it, until the “outage” settled down again or even better, I could go and deploy my own factory making that resource. I could position it right next to the factories that require it if I like or in a dense nebulae or asteroid field.

All because I saw one ship meet its maker.

Want to start a war? Go and take out one of the capital ships patrolling distant sectors. Watch that race build another one at the nearest shipyard. If its journey back to its patrol area takes it through an enemy controlled sector….

Want to corner the market in Computer Components? Build factories, out-price your competitors, go and buy up all their stock, set up a blockade on a gate or just destroy their factories and order your fleet to wipe out their cargo ships, or do it yourself.

You see it is possible to affect the X-Universe in many ways. I know players in previous games who have removed a whole race and replaced it with their own empire or become the sole proprietor of a particular product.

You don’t have to do any of it though and that’s the key. Become the master of the Universe or spend your days picking up bounty-hunter missions and everything in-between.

HCW: In some of the materials released, it’s stated that the player can go and discover new societies. How does this work, and what rewards are there for the player in this?

Egosoft: The player will start off in one area of space, controlled by one of the races. As they explore, either on their own or by following the plot, they will enter areas that are home to the other inhabitants. They might have enough reputation to trade straight away (can’t trade, can’t dock) or they might have to “impress” them by helping out with the local pirate problem.

Once you have docking rights, you have access to all the unique products, ships, factories and weapons that are unique to that race. Some missions are unique to certain races and you need a certain level of reputation before they are offered. Meeting a new race for the first time is quite an experience.

How to Use Peer Review Ratings to Choose the Right Lawyer

The Harding Law Firm - Thursday, January 23, 2014
When it comes to choosing the right lawyer, simply opening up the phone book and picking one is not going to give you the best results. So, how does one go about finding the right lawyer?  By examining the peer reviews.

You are probably already familiar with reviews – you can find them for nearly any product or service sold today. The Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ help those trying to find the right lawyer. You can use these to identify, evaluate, and select the most appropriate lawyer for your specific legal need.

Ratings serve as a third-party indicator that a lawyer has the skills and standards a person might need. When they are combined with the Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, a person hiring a lawyer gets fact based data to support their decision on which lawyer to hire.

How the Ratings Work when Choosing the Right Lawyer
The Martindale-Hubbell ratings reflect a particular lawyer’s legal ability based on the following 5 key areas:

1.    Legal knowledge – in particular, a lawyer’s familiarity with the laws governing their area of practice
2.    Judgment – a demonstrated ability to drive the outcome of a given case
3.    Communication – the ability to communicate persuasively and with credibility
4.    Experience – the degree of experience in a specific area of practice
5.    Analytic capability – creativity when analyzing legal issues and applying legal knowledge

The Numeric Rating Definitions

The numeric ratings assigned to each lawyer for every category coincide with certification marks defined as follows:

4.5-5.0 AV Pre-eminent – the highest level of professional excellence
3.0-4.4 BV Distinguished – widely respected, these lawyers stand out from the competition

Charles Harding, the founder of The Harding Law Firm, is an AV Pre-eminent peer reviewed lawyer, the highest rating possible. When choosing a lawyer to handle your legal needs, you can’t go wrong if you pick the highest rated lawyers.

Steps to Choosing the Right Lawyer

Experts agree that choosing the right lawyer can be a tricky task for the lay person. We recommend using the following steps to finding the right lawyer:
1.    Consult your local bar association to find a list of local lawyers. Choose your location and get a list.
2.    Check independent reviews. This is where the Martindale-Hubbell ratings come in handy.
3.    Set up an appointment and ask questions. Have a good list of questions ready so you can maximize your time and determine whether the lawyer is the right one for you.

Who Gets What As Alimony? Understanding Divorce in New York State

The Harding Law Firm - Monday, January 20, 2014

When it comes to getting a divorce in New York State, the state laws come to bear on the divorce action and at least one of those laws has to do with alimony. Alimony consists of payments made from one spouse to another during and after the divorce. The intent of alimony is to ensure that supported spouses continue to live in the same or a similar manner as they did while married. It is also a way to give a supported spouse the time to gain education or training in order to become self-sufficient.

In some states, alimony is known as spousal support but in New York, it’s called maintenance. A local divorce attorney will tell you that the terms will be used interchangeably.

Two Types of Alimony During a Divorce in New York State
There are two types of alimony (or maintenance) available in New York state:

•    Temporary maintenance – this is paid while the divorce case is pending. It provides the supported spouse with immediate financial assistance taking into consideration the supported spouse’s reasonable needs and pre-divorce standard of living. This type of alimony ends when the final order of maintenance is signed.
•    Post-divorce maintenance – this is paid to the supported spouse after the divorce. It ends upon the death of either spouse, the remarriage of the supported spouse, or when the supported spouse is living with someone or appearing in public as the spouse of that person.

Alimony Guidelines for Divorce in New York State

Since October, 2010, the New York court system uses a standard formula based on spousal income to calculate temporary maintenance.  The formula for temporary maintenance is figured like this:

1.    Subtract 20% of the supported spouse’s income from 30% of the paying spouse’s income.
2.    Multiple the total incomes earned by both spouses by 40% and subtract the supported spouse’s income from that amount.

The court will determine the temporary maintenance based on the lower amount.

The guidelines for post-divorce maintenance are based on a number of factors, so there is no fixed formula. Some of the factors include (but are not limited to):

•    Income and property owned by each spouse
•    Length of the marriage
•    Age and health of both spouses
•    Present and future expected income
•    The ability of the supported spouse to be self-sufficient

•    Acts by one spouse that inhibit the other from achieving employment

Anytime one spouse is considering divorce or has been served with a divorce suit, it is important to get the best legal help you can. Scheduling a free divorce consultation is one way to see what a local divorce attorney in New York can do for you.

Dinner at The Rex is served from 5:00-10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday; 5:00-10:30 Friday and Saturday. The patio bar is open at 11 a.m. daily. The dining room bar opens at 4:00 p.m. daily.

Can be found in the heart of the Billings Townsite Historic District, right across from the railroad station.

The 3 story Rex building is made of buff-colored brick and red sandstone, done in the Italianate, Beaux Arts style. The Rex Restaurant and its lovely bar are located on the first floor. Offices now occupy the second and third floors, bringing in much needed funds to keep this piece of Billings history in good shape!

The aura of the inside space gives the patron a relaxed, casual, and non-pretentious place to enjoy a variety of fine meals. Inside, the visitor finds that the "old-world brick interiors, the tin ceiling, tile floors, and oak, brass, and stained and beveled glass furnishings" give the interior a turn-of-the-century look that "draws the eye and imagination" to that old-time western era. The men's bathrooms even has authentic western ordinal urinals, dating back to the late 1800s; older than the building itself.

There is a place for every kind of patron in The Rex Restaurant. The bar is described as "loud and busy", with large TV's to watch sports. The lounge is the place to enjoy live music and an indoor fireplace. There is also a more quiet dining room, that is away from the noise and excitement of the bar and lounge area. The new addition in the front, that was built in 2006, offers a lovely, award winning outside patio eating area, perfect to have a drink with friends; complete with an outdoor fireplace.

Chef Alfred Heimer had a long career working for Buffalo Bill Cody, cooking for the Wild West Show. The day came when Heimer retired to Billings, Montana, with a dream of opening up his own hotel and little restaurant, with Bill Cody's financial help. With its convenient location; just across the the railroad station, and the fantastic meals and upscale lodgings, it did a thriving business. In fact, a third floor was added to accommodate the prolific demand from its guests, as it offered rooms for the average man of means, to more well-endowed wealthy people, such as successful businessmen, ranchers, and celebrity western icons of the day: Will James, Calamity Jane and Buffalo Bill.

By 1919, The Rex Hotel, and The Rex Corral Cafe Restaurant and Bar were high class, popular establishments that fulfilled Alfred Heimer's dream. The Rex Hotel was considered one of the best places to stay, and The Rex Corral Cafe offered a fine German meal with a satisfying beer. Advertising claimed, "Cold beer and good German lunches."

"The Rex Corral Cafe's name was eventually changed to the "Buffalo Bill Bar", and then it simply became part of The Rex Hotel, just known as The Rex Hotel restaurant, probably during Prohibition. However, Prohibition didn't slow down business, for "a floating bar," Billings' form of a speakeasy, was simply set up in one of the rooms, and moved every day to a new location. It is said that The Rex Hotel was connected to the underground tunnels, that once existed under Billings, where the illegal alcohol was moved and delivered to its customers. These underground tunnels existed in many cities and were used for this purpose: Butte, Portland, Prescott, Los Angeles. etc.

During this time, prostitution and gambling probably also took place in The Rex on the second and third floors, as these two money-making activities usually were attached to a speakeasy. The basement also was used as a gambling den. A gambler's book was found in one of the walls during the first major renovation done by owners A & E Architects P.C., in 1976-77, that is discussed below.

The popularity of The Rex Hotel and its restaurant and bar continued on through the 1930s, 40s and 50s. In the 1960s, the railroad business started its decline, because cheaper and faster ways to travel took off with the American people. Clientele for The Rex Hotel dried up as the trains lost business to these other forms of transportation, causing economic strains, leaving little extra money to fix an aging building. The upper floors eventually became unusable as hotel rooms, and the basement and boiler room was full of asbestos, and couldn't be used for anything until it was removed; not a cheap project.

Eventually the only floor that could be used was the main floor, and so the bar and restaurant continued to be in business. At some point, it became a real fixer-upper opportunity, and what income that was being raised by the restaurant and bar could no longer carry all the financial weight. The building was vacated, and put up for sale.

By 1975, it was decided that the best course of action was to just to tear it down, as the private owners or the bank couldn't find a buyer willing to pay for the expensive renovation and repair projects that the building badly needed. However, The Rex Hotel got a last minute reprieve when a Billings merchant, Senia Hart, stepped up to the plate and bought it J.I.T.; just one day before the wrecking ball was scheduled to knock it down. Sounds like the people in charge really didn't want to tear it down.

Senia Hart then got busy and found a buyer willing to put a boat-load of money into this woebegone building. In 1976, A & E Architects P.C., located in Billings, bought The Rex Hotel building. The firm got to work, starting major renovations in two areas of the structure that really needed heavy investment: The basement & the boiler room, and the second and third floors. To make this property a viable financial success, the whole building needed to be put to work, to make money.

The basement and boiler room were renewed and given a new "business life," with a "major cleanup" and most importantly, the asbestos was removed safely. Probably some non-weight bearing walls in the basement were taken down, to open up the space. The hotel guest rooms on the second and third floor were gutted to the studs, sheer walls were installed, and the second and third floors were totally transformed into office spaces. A new roof was probably put on as well.

For the most part, the main floor just needed "a cosmetic interior renovation"; getting a fresh, more updated look, as this space was previously used as a restaurant and bar. After completion of all the renovations, A & E Architects P.C., moved an existing restaurant business that they owned into the main floor and newly renovated basement area. They made good use of some of the office space as well, moving their offices into the upper floors of the building, as well as renting out the other spaces.

After 10 years of using the building, in 1986, A & E Architects P.C., sold this property to The Rex Hotel Partnership, owned by an entrepreneur, Gene Burgadwith, who had a lot of vision and energy, with a new plan for The Rex Hotel building. Gene Burgadwith hired A & E Architects P.C., to do another major face lift to renovate the restaurant and bar space into a first class steak joint, that offers a blend of its western history with a contemporary feel. For example, Pictographs from local caves have been copied onto a 7,300 pound concrete island bar, and several tables as well.

In the late 1990s, Gene Burgadwith succeeded in his quest to have the adjacent street next to the building closed! Burgadwith again went to his favorite architects, and commissioned A & E P.C., to design a major addition to his restaurant in this space. The addition was designed to be "a lively and casual eating facility with a large outdoor patio."

In 2006, A & E Architects P.C., were honored with the Montana Preservation Alliance "Excellence in Historic Preservation Award" for their designs and renovations done in this Rex Hotel addition, and for another building they designed and renovated in Billings; the Billings Depot.

Today, in 2013, A & E Architects P.C., have done projects all over Montana. They are doing wonderful job reinventing old buildings, remodeling and preserving structures to meet the needs of commercial use, while preserving the building, keeping the best of the arts and crafts, etc.

The Rex Restaurant is known for its steaks and sea food, and enjoys a large clientele base. It seems that spirits also love and appreciate the new look and care that has been put into giving the building a new lease on it's existence.

HISTORY of Manifestations:

Major building renovation and restoration can act like a huge environmental trigger, and draw spirits connected to the building, out and active.

( The Geiser Grand Hotel * Walker House * Maumee Bay Brewing Company *
Jerome Grand Hotel )

Billings, Montana was a rough western town, where a lot of killings, muggings and opium smoking happened in it's history. People that lost their life because of being murdered, sometimes continue to look for their killer, or want some kind of justice.

( Del Fresco's Steak House * County Line BBQ Restaurant * Plains Hotel-Prostitute * Portland's Notorious Shanghai Tunnels )

People who enjoyed themselves at a certain place; parties, good times that they experienced, continue to visit or stay there in their after life, still enjoying their memories, and even have their own events/parties that the living can hear.

( Saint James Hotel * The Viking Hotel * The National Pastime Theater * The Natatorium * The Dumas Brothel Bed and Breakfast )

Illegal booze delivery/speak-easy/gambling and prostitution usually meant that gangsters were present. Gangsters tried to behave, but sometimes had to "take care of business" in public and private establishments, dealing with people who committed some displeasing offense. Prostitutes often got in trouble, gamblers who try to cheat or won't pay their debt, or bartenders who are skimming off the drink sales could've been some of the folks killed by gangsters; never known for having a forgiving nature. They sometimes were also killed because they knew too much.

( Wabasha Steet Caves * Brumder Mansion * O'Henry's Roadhouse Building * County Line BBQ * The Biltmore )

There is always some joker who thinks that they can cheat the mob, and they are of course found out and killed.

A former Prohibition Era bartender, Buck, was killed, probably by a gangster, or someone else with anger issues.

A female entity seen in the Rex building may be a former Prohibition party girl/prostitute.

A grumpy male entity that roams the basement may be a gambler or boot-legger, haunting the area where he died.

There are the usual tale-tell signs of spirits.

Light play:

After the closing bartender has closed the building, with all the outside lights turned off, the lights have a mind of their own, and pop on all by themselves.

Christmas lights are a favorite with the spirits here, and they love to turn them on after closing!

Some entity likes to turn on coffee pot and equipment in the office for chuckles.

The feeling of not being alone.

Objects are moved.

Current manager of The Rex Restaurant, Reid Pyburn, has some ghost experiences to tell. To hear all of his stories, buy the video.

Two of Pyburn's stories:

One rowdy, annoyed entity became aggressive in the basement, with the closing bartender; a tall, buff man; Jason. PERHAPS Jason reminded the entity of the person who killed him. This angry entity jumped on Jason from behind, knocking him to the floor and scratching him, scaring him to death. Jason ran out of the bar, terrified, not finishing his rounds and duties.

A patron asked to be moved to another table, because a male entity was standing by her table, making it hard for her to enjoy her food.

Entities still like to have wild parties late at night, that last into early morning in the bar.

While in the basement after hours, staff have heard men's voices and the sounds of stools being dragged.

One or more female entities.

Female Voices are heard around women's bathrooms.

What has been described as a ghostly figure, some say a female, has appeared on the stairs leading up to the second and third floors.

There have been reports of an unknown presence who has been experienced on the 2nd and 3rd floor business offices.

Female figure has been seen walking around the 2nd and 3rd floors, perhaps a roaring twenties party girl, or prostitute employed for some of the 1920s Prohibition drinking parties that took place in the rooms there. Prostitution has long been a dangerous profession.

The building's maintenance man once heard the sounds of high heels coming toward him in the hallway, hear them pass him by and continue on down the hallway.

In some of the business offices, odd sounds are heard, and objects are moved around and put in different places than the workers had left them.

Bar area: An unknown number of Male Entities - Because of information acquired from a psychic investigation, staff has named one of them, Buck.

A book about Rex Harrison that sits in a shelf above the bar, sometimes jumps over the lip of the shelf, and falls down on people sitting on the stools, talking about the ghosts, perhaps stating their unbelief.

While in the basement, alone in the building, staff have heard the stools being moved along the floor, and men's disembodied voices talking when the restaurant and bar are closed.

Bartender was pushed down, by an unsatisfied entity customer or entity bartender? Or perhaps by the grumpy entity in the basement mentioned above.

Male Entity - described as wearing a white shirt, who doesn't like to be spotted by the living.

Besides attacking the closing bartender, a story mentioned above, he likes to watch the women in the basement bathroom.

Many instances of women, feeling that they are being watched have been reported.

A few women have come out of their stalls, to see this see-through male apparition, wearing a white shirt, staring at them.

One woman reported hearing someone enter the stall next to hers, and slam the door so hard that her door was vibrating. No one living was in the stall.

This male entity also likes to get his chuckles with the men who visit the bathroom.

Men have heard someone come in while washing their hands, but find out that no one living in there with them.

Paranormal Findings:

A psychic medium met a former bartender in spirit form in the bar, that had been killed during the Prohibition era, who said his name was "Buck."

Not much hard evidence has been caught and shared with the public, probably because it is a business trying to make a profit, but I have no doubt that private investigations have occurred here. Author Karen Stevens who is a member of a paranormal investigation group, and leads ghost tours believes that the Rex Restaurant has spirit entities residing there.

still haunted?

Most Probably so! Though no hard evidence that I can find has been made public, there are lots of personal experiences reported by staff and guests. These reports lead one to strongly suspect that The Rex Hotel building also is the home of several entities, who have a variety of attitudes toward the living.

White Horse Tavern -

Haunted Dwelling — White Horse Tavern

26 Marlborough Street
Newport, Rhode Island 02840
(401) 849-3600

What an impressive, "massively framed" 3 storied building that features well-done architecture from the colonial era. It is one of the oldest tavern buildings in the United States. The former owners, over 300 years ago didn't fool around, and built a solid secure building, both inside and outside. The owners that followed changed the insides a bit when they transformed this once private residence into a commercial building in 1673, and modern improvements were added throughout the years to modernize the building a bit to meet the needs of the tavern business, that has long been located here. Sometime in its history, the inn part of the tavern, located upstairs, was discontinued, and the second floor became more tavern/dining space. However, the original colonial aura of this property has never been tampered with, and it looks much like it did so long ago.

As we stood across the street, Tom and I saw the "clapboard walls, gambrel roof (added just after the Revolutionary War), and plain pediment doors bordering the sidewalk." Stepping into this upscale tavern, was like stepping back into the 1600s and 1700s, with "its' giant beams, small stairway hard against chimney, tiny front hall, cavernous fireplaces, dark interior illuminated by candlelight, high ceilings, and wooden floor," the decor is well-done colonial, and sparks the imagination of what it was like in the 17th and 18th centuries.

The White Horse Tavern is a flexible venue, and has a variety of sized rooms to meet the needs of their community, and outside groups. The first floor has a regular dining room, with individual tables, and one or two smaller rooms off the main dining room for larger families or small business groups. Other rooms throughout the first and second floor can accommodate 20 to 70 guests. Even during the winter months, The White Horse Tavern is a comfortable place to go to dinner, or an event, because each room has its own wood-burning fireplace.

Tom and I decided to have dinner here, after tromping around Newport all day, getting pictures for our website. Though the dress code is business casual, they are kind and understanding with visitors who don't know any better! Although Tom and I were under-dressed in jeans; (oops), they were very cordial, and greeted us warmly, showing us to a real table cloth-covered table in the first floor dining room. The waiters are dressed in period clothing. Service was great, and the food truly upscale delicious. They take great pride in having a trained chef who can really cook! Their cuisine staff work with event planners to provide just the right fare for the occasion.

Throughout its long history, The White Horse Tavern building has only had 6 owners, 4 of which have passed the property down through their descendents from the early years, up until 1954: Brinleys, Mayes, Nichols,and Preece. While O.L. Pitts bought The White Horse Tavern as a partnership endeavor in the 1980s, Paul Hogan is a long time resident of Newport, and may pass the property down his own line of family descendents!

The original 1652, built to last structure, began its existence as the family home of Francis Brinley, for twenty years. In 1673, William Mayes Sr. saw the commercial possibilities of this structure, and bought it. He turned it into a comfortable classy tavern and inn. For the next 100 years, this structure was big enough and comfortable enough to host meetings of the Colony's General Assembly, Criminal Court and City Council.

In 1702, William Mayes Sr must have died, and his black sheep son, William Mayes Jr. took over the tavern's business. Before becoming the tavern and inn's new owner, William Mayes Jr. had been a notorious pirate. The people of Newport forgave him, and protected him from the law enforcement authorities for a little while. When he was able to get a license to sell "...all sorts of Strong Drink," he added more of a variety of alcohol to the tavern, boosting liquor sales.

However, the British authorities were really embarrassed about a notorious pirate, who deserved legal punishment himself, being allowed to run a popular, upscale business that hosted government functions, and they weren't so forgiving. So, William Mayes Jr.'s career as a tavern keeper didn't last very long. His sister, Mary Mayes Nichols and her husband, Richard, who were respectable people, became the new tavern keepers. Travelers could also spend the night, but they didn't get their own room, but a place to sleep. If you didn't get one of the few rooms, that you shared it with a stranger, the floor was offered for bedrolls, or a pile a straw.

In 1708, Mary and Richard started offering lunch to city councilmen, who billed the city treasury as a business expense. It is claimed that this tavern became the first establishment to be the birth place of the idea of "the businessman's lunch."

In the 1720s, every innkeeper's /hotel manager's biggest nightmare of any era happened. One of the Nichols' overnight guests died in his sleep. Fearing that he had died from a communicable disease, Mary Nichols and the Indian girl were sent by the authorities to the quarantine island, Coaster's Harbor Island. While they didn't catch anything from their dead guest, both of them caught smallpox while in quarantine. Mary survived and came home. Perhaps they stopped offering sleeping accommodations after this incident.

In 1730, other Nichols family relatives of Mary and Robert Nichols took over the tavern. Jonathan Nichols gave the tavern its name, that has stuck throughout the years; The White Horse Tavern. The Nichols family lived upstairs, and the tavern was downstairs. During the War of 1776, Walter Nichols moved his family out of the building and out of Newport to avoid having to serve and host the Hessian soldiers garrisoned there by the British. After the war was over, Walter Nichols came back, made improvements, like adding a new roof, and opened The White Horse Tavern once again for business. It was larger than before, to accommodate more people and events. Perhaps it needed some renovation, after the soldiers had lived there. Perhaps they got a little rowdy at times, as young men tend to do, and left some damage behind.

In 1895, the Nichols family sold the property to Thomas and Bridget Preece, who had new plans for the structure. It became a rooming house. Uh oh! Usually, the money made from a rooming house doesn't bring in enough revenue to provide for the extended upkeep an old structure like this needs. By 1954, the building, while still standing, was in need of lots of TLC, and a boatload of money. The Van Buren family rescued the property, and gave it to The Preservation Society of Newport County. After 3 years of careful restoration, this building was again opened up as The White Horse Tavern.

In 1981, The White Horse Tavern again became privately owned, when a former Texan by the name of O.L. Pitts and his three partners bought The White Horse Tavern, and continued on the tradition of offering "good fellowship, good food and good cheer."

Newport native, Paul Hogan bought the White Horse Tavern from O.L.Pitts, and continues on with the spirit and tradition so long established at this place of business. Along with a wonderful structure and upscale Tavern and dining business, he seems to have inherited some spiritual residents.

Owners and managers of established businesses sometimes choose to stay in their buildings to supervise the living, not letting death get in the way of keeping an eye on what was their live-blood while alive.

( Bullock Hotel * Saint Andrews Inn * Stanley Hotel * Colony Hotel )

People who die unexpectedly in a place, and not buried properly, or not given a name or proper respect, their spirits can hang around until it is done so; finding the missing remains, giving a proper epitaph on the stone, or solving the mystery as to identity of the deceased.

( Liberty Hall Mansion * Gettysburg National Cemetery * General Wayne Inn * The Bank Street House )

Mary and Robert Nichols' guest who died in one of the upstairs rooms so long ago, was never identified. The stranger who had shared the bed with the deceased must have woke up and discovered that his bed partner had died. Not wanting to wind up in quarantine, he made a hasty departure. Any information he may have known about this fellow went with him. So, the dead man was quickly buried in an unmarked pauper's grave, fearing that he may have died of an illness that was deadly if caught. Despite making an effort to find out who he was, it remained a mystery.

Several spirits are thought to inhabit The White Horse Tavern.

Entity of the elderly male guest who died - Dressed in common, shabby Colonial attire.

This entity's apparition has been seen by staff and guests many times in the main dining room by one of the fireplaces.

This spirit has been known to pester female diners, who are sensitive to spirits. Perhaps this spirit thinks that they can help to identify him.

This spirit was also seen in the upstairs men's bathroom.

An unseen entity; could be male or female:

Supervises the staff, and helps to keep an eye on guests; guardian of the building.

Keeps an eye on people who wander up to the second floor.

Taps the staff on their shoulders, and

Tells them to lock up when it isn't time yet.

Patrols the building sometimes while staff is closing up the Tavern, and counting money to put in the safe.

The entity of a female

Her face was caught above one of the tables in a photo. Imagine their surprise when she shows up in the picture!

It has been reported that all of the staff have had experiences with the spirits in The White Horse Tavern, as well as some patrons over the years. Many paranormal groups have done investigations in this tavern, but I couldn't find any shared evidence on line. Two photos have been shared. A photograph of the old man who died there is framed and is on the wall of The White Horse Tavern, and An unintentional photo of a female face was caught on film by a professional photographer, taking a publicity photo for The White Horse Tavern. Imagine their surprise when she shows up in the picture!

A Huge PROBABLY SO is in order.

Though investigators haven't shared on line what they have captured, plenty of people know they are not alone in the tavern. They don't need really hard evidence as they live with the spirits every day, and have seen plenty, making the spirits a reality.

Perhaps investigators haven't used the right trigger to entice the spirits to come out and talk via EVPs.

Two photos by two different people have caught what looks like two of the entities seen and experienced. There are always some skeptics when it comes to believing that ghost photos are paranormal, but the photos are accepted by the folks who have to live with the spirits here.

The least -- and most -- American of places: A review of Rez Life

Rez Life: An Indian's Journey Through Reservation Life
David Treuer
368 pages, hardcover: $26.
Atlantic Monthly Press, 2012.

Accomplished novelist David Treuer turns to nonfiction in his latest book, which combines elements of his own life on "the rez" with a historical look at North American Indian life over the past several hundred years. Since "most people will go a lifetime without ever knowing an Indian or spending any time on an Indian reservation," the author hopes to give readers not only a better understanding of American Indians, but also of the U.S. itself. Not surprisingly, Treuer focuses on his own tribe, the Ojibwe. Found from Michigan to Montana, the Ojibwe Indians are some of the least-mentioned Native Americans in history, despite their cultural contributions: the birch-bark canoe, snowshoes, and words like "moccasin," "moose" and "toboggan."

Rez Life offers an in-depth look at the practical, everyday realities of reservation life, providing detailed descriptions of walleye fishing, harvesting wild rice, and making maple syrup. At times, the reader becomes immersed in painful and even heartbreaking scenes, including the suicide of Treuer's grandfather and tragic accounts of robberies and murders, illegal drug use, alcoholism and extreme poverty. Yet even in the midst of his most personal stories, Treuer keeps the larger picture in mind, offering thorough reportage on the unjust treatment Native Americans have received from the United States government. Although the broken promises and ignored treaties are common knowledge, Treuer's extensive retelling of this history serves to emphasize its lasting effects on the entire Indian population.

But Treuer also shows that "what one finds on reservations is more than scars, tears, blood, or noble sentiment. There is beauty in Indian life, as well as meaning and a long history of interaction." The past and the present are conjoined; one could not exist without the other. "Nowhere more than in reservation life can we see, can we feel, the past shaping the present," Treuer writes. "On the reservation the past is hardly past at all."

Powerful and eloquent, Rez Life offers an exhaustive look at one neglected tribe and its place in Indian history, as well as an analysis of the forces that have shaped and continue to shape the West and the nation as a whole.
