Child Support How Does it Work?
by: Nathan Dawson
Child support is a court-ordered financial contribution paid by the parent who does not live with the children to the parent who does live with them. Each state has its own formula for calculating the correct amount that is paid for child support; however, the judge can deviate from the formula if it is deemed necessary.
Here are some important things to keep in mind regarding child support:
Child support funds are to be used at the discretion of the custodial parent. The money is intended to be used for the child and whether or not this is actually the case is not a decision that can be made by the parent who must pay it.
Child support payments must be made, even when the custodial parent earns more than the non-custodial parent.
Both parents should contribute to extra-curricular activities, since child support does not include them.
Always pay child support payments on time. When it comes to your child and divorce, leave the divorce out.
Some states will mandate to have wages garnished as payment for child support.

Do Not Know What To Wear For Halloween?
by: Hege Crowton
Many of us have that problem now when the night in question is just around the corner.
Halloween, the scariest night of the year, probably also one of the most exiting ones as well since you never know who might come knocking on your door or what you may encounter on a dark, lonely road.
Beasts and monsters are everywhere and your kids are screaming with a mixed feeling of delight and freight. They know it is not real but their imagination will have them believe.
Being a part of this fantasy is absolutely wonderful and the beginning of this fantasy starts with the planning. Letting your kids be a part of that planning from the get go is what makes the season so special for them. (Also any other season for that matter)
Begin with having the whole family take part in decorating your house and yard and when you go in for the night get pictures and ideas together for you all to look at. This way you all will be a part of planning for the season.

Costumes And Ideas For Halloween
by: Hege Crowton
Halloween is just around the corner and preparations are in full swing all over the country.
Yards are being decorated with all the colors of fall, the scarecrows are coming out of the sheds and here and there we might already see huge spiders hanging. Resting in their cob webs hanging from trees in peoples front yards.
We all know what this mean. The scariest night of the year is almost here. The kids already know what they want. Pumpkins scarier than the neighbors Lanterns and costumes you would not even begin to dream of.
Wait a minute, isn’t that what Halloween night is all about? Candy, kids and costumes. It sure is, and guess what? A cool costume is a must, your kids will agree with that.
The question then is how you get away with getting them a cool costume for a reasonable price? Have you ever considered making them yourself? With some help and guidance it is not as hard as you think it is.

How to Plan Outdoor Holiday Decorating for Your Home and Stay Within Your Budget
by: Patty Gale
When I was a little girl, I remember my dad taking us for drives at night throughout our neighborhood to see the houses decorated for Christmas. There were some that had a simple wreath on the front door and some that looked like Santa’s Workshop on the front lawn.
I was always amazed at the beautiful lights, glistening snow, and holiday music. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I realized those beautiful displays took a lot more organizing, planning and money than I thought.
Whether you live in a cold or warm climate, you don’t have to break the bank in order to create a cozy and beautiful outdoor holiday display for your home. Here’s how.
Create a plan. You need to decide how much money you can comfortably spend. Many people wind up over-spending during the holidays, use credit cards and find they take on more debt than they should. August or September is a good time to start planning and it won’t take long. Many retail stores are beginning to announce pre-Christmas sales and this is the time to find bargains.

Terrorist Terrorism and Terrorized
by: Kacy Carr
As we sit glued to the television set listening to all the gory details of yet another terrorist attack leaves us all in a state of shock. We all feel sad. We all feel that enough is enough. We all listen to how much the death toll is rising into the hundreds. We all wait in anticipation to hear of any survivors, then after a few days. We all forget
I recall years ago when the seat belt was introduced and how it was drummed into us each and every day, clunk click every trip. The nation was brainwashed into abiding by the new law imposed that was to save so many lives. Well I say make a stand and bring back brainwashing in the form of terrorist awareness, it may cause a lot of paranoia amongst a great many but it may also save a lot of misery suffering pain and most importantly lives.
Terrorists are like actors where they are well rehearsed in their role to kill. Drama classes pay off for terrorists in their preparation for slaughter.

Choosing a Wedding Videographer

Choosing a Wedding Videographer
by: Shawn Hickman
Where do I start?
I receive numerous inquiries requesting information. First, I understand that the average person is gathering information to try and make an educated decision that is right for them. I’m sure many people only know what they’ve read in numerous wedding magazine articles about wedding videography and photography. I’ve read most of these articles and they range from generic to sheer nonsense- especially those articles with the checklist of important questions to ask a videographer. What one has to understand is that the person writing the article is not an expert on wedding videography. Until they were hired to write an article about wedding videography or photography to fill the spaces between advertisers looking for business, they probably knew little more than anyone else on the subject. So, in short, take what you read as a starting point and go from there.
The first question many people ask - What is the cost for a wedding video?
Wedding Videography Interview Techniques

Wedding Videography Interview Techniques
by: Shawn Hickman
I’ve been interviewed quite a few times, and yes there is definitely an art to it. The secret is *not* to interview the person, but to talk / chat to them whilst filming. That might sound the same, but the key is to make the interviewee relax and talk naturally, otherwise it sounds terribly stilted and fake. As soon as you point a camera at someone, they normally totally lose their ability to talk in a natural and relaxed manner. Also, never use the word “interview”.

Wedding Is Time For Everyone To Mind Their Manners
by: Shawn Hickman
Did you hear the one about the groom that got so drunk the night before his wedding he passed out during the nuptials?
What about the bride who deliberately chose ugly, clingy sheath dresses for her overweight bridesmaids just so she could look like a supermodel in comparison?
We’ve all heard wedding horror stories — true tales of etiquette faux pas and heinous manners. But a classy, considerate bride does not indulge her ego, overlook her bridesmaids’ feelings or point out the poor taste of others, according to Gail Dunson, coauthor of “Bridezilla: True Tales From Etiquette Hell” and a certified protocol and etiquette consultant.
Dunson has heard hundreds of stories about wedding guests gone awry, tacky gifts and friendships ruined by wedding disasters on www.etiquettehell.com, the Web site she manages with partner Jeanne Hamilton.
“There are a lot of misguided people out there,” Dunson said. “The only thing that matters is getting down to the end of the aisle and exchanging vows. Everything else is superfluous.”
CORRESPONDENCE CRIMES
Unoriginal thank you notes for wedding gifts is the most mentioned correspondence crime, Dunson said.
