Byron Donzis; his Air padding tech was licensed by Easton Hockey in gloves and protective
Totally didn't know he was behind more than half the things the article listed (especially what became the reebok pump). Truly a multi-demensional innovator

Review week at work....Don't feel I have anything to worry about, just generally awkward/uneasy time.

I'm not trying to sound stupid, but isn't there a way you guys can get demo sticks from your reps (similar to when they had nike bauer ID kiosks) to use for rapid shot? That way you dont use brand new, merchandise every time someone wants to give it a go?
I don't know the first thing about LHS' at retail, so its just an honest question I have.

My Mom just gave me good news that they are just going to remove the mass in her breast. It's nothing major. Thank you Lord!
Glad to hear. Congrats to you and your Mom!!

Finally getting my PTSD under control again! Days are getting brighter and brighter.

I guess you missed this sentence....
“Honestly, what I’m trying to do is protect my daughter and act in her best interest, and he hasn’t been willing to cooperate,” Roberts said.
I can agree he's been paying but he could be providing more based on his salary earnings for past years. The fact that the ex didn't have a current address and he's not co-operating tells me he's not prepared to "do the right thing" as I see it. So in my opinion he is a deadbeat.
The money is for his child. Even never wants to see the child and even if the woman is the worst human being alive and he hates the sight and sound of her, he could be doing more to provide financially for the child.
There's certainly some facts missing that would provide a clearer picture but do you really think it's appropriate for him to pay support based on $1.4 million while making $7.75 million? I don't!
Well there is a difference between what the public views as right and wrong. As I understand it from my Fiancee, who has worked on a number of child support/custody cases at her last law firm (she now does corporate law work), In New York State (obviously may differ elsewhere), the way it works is say you meet your girlfriend as an 19-20 year old working at a retail job making minimum/above minimum wage, and you have a child together.
Things go bad, you split, and you come to a settlement based on your 25K-30K salary. You make your payments on this on time, everything is good. you then go on and create an incredible online business, and in turn start collecting 1-1.5mil a year. The way NYS looks at it, you are only responsible for maintaining the lifestyle of the child when you were together (ie, when you were making 20-30K a year).
Now obviously there is room to appeal for a higher amount, and I didn't miss the statement you said. Of course he's going to be difficult. He is abiding by the law and the courts ruling on what he has to pay. So of course the ex-gf is going to say hes not co-operating because he didn't just hand her a blind check. If she cant seem to get by on what she has been perfectly capable of for a while (until he started making money), maybe the child should live with him, and she should have visitation, just to keep the child's best interest. the flaw in the system though is with athletes, their contract value is constantly changing, (see: 7.5 to 1.5 to 1 mil). It puts an unfair burden on him and the courts because of the constant nature of the contract value fluctionation. so the kid gets accustomed to a life style of dad paying support on 1.5 mil, then next year paying on 1 mil. Doesn't seem fair to the kid.
on an unrelated note, the Red Sox Staff are IDIOTS for allowing this guy to serve him in the clubhouse on his start day. They have every right to deny him entry. His only "obligation to his client" is to attempt to serve the papers. but the Red Sox have been such a mess lately, this lapse in judgement doesn't surprise me.
Like Chippa said this is profit city, at the expense of an innocent child. Now who's the bad parent?

If she actually digs some money out of this it would be almost as ridiculous as this story.
wow, I'm not even going to get started because I won't stop.
If the child support laws in the USA are anything like in Canada where child support is calculated off of gross salary which he is supposed to declare each year by exchanging tax return info with the ex. The ex has every right to ask for an increase since his salary shot up. And he doesn't look good ducking paying the money retroactively. After all, child support is paid to ensure his child has a good quality of life too.
I paid child support for 13 years until my daughter came to live with me. When I began paying I was making $28K. Today I make $70K. I happily paid more when I made more. In this day and age doing the right thing is becoming a thing of the past. My daughter is now 18 years old and going to college out of town. I've done everything I can to ensure she is set-up to succeed at college and will continue to because it is the right thing to do.
To me the bottom line is this; if you don't want to be financially and emotionally obligated to a child then don't have sex! But if you do have a child and the relationship doesn't work out; do the right thing!!! There's already enough dead beats in this world!
Mike
He's hardly a dead beat. He's been making the payments that the court assigned to him, and is still making them. If the court finds he should pay more, and he doesn't pay, then hes a deadbeat. Until then, He is being a responsible parent, and not a dead beat

If you're seriously considering this other chick then there is probably something not quite right at home that is making such an upheaval even a remote option to you. I'd take a closer look at the situation that you are already in with the Mrs. and consider a couple of things. First, what is making you look around with the idea of anything more than window shopping? Second, is it worth tossing away a marriage?

was winning the battle on my PTSD........now it's beating me pretty good

my allergies/sinuses are getting worse and worse. I haven't been able to breathe out my nose all morning (which is also causing massive migraines as well because of the rain)...
this is after taking a reactine and nasal spray.
As someone who has a significant history of sinus/allergy problems, try this. I can promise you that if you use this, along with maybe a 12hr spray...you'll be money in no time. you can get it at any pharmacy

Had Surgery for 3 abdominal hernia's in February, haven't had a chance to skate since last November (when the hernia's became too painful to keep playing), and now pain is coming back....Appointment with surgeon on Wednesday....terrific

Is she diabetic? If your food choices are causing ramifications such as this I'd seriously rethink my view on food, to be honest. Candy bar, regular soda, almost anything with sugar/carbohydrates will counteract the onset.
Nah, shes definitely not diabetic (plenty of blood tests to confirm it). I should have been more accurate. She's actually a vegetarian, who tries to stay as close to being a vegan as possible. So if she can avoid animal products she will, but she (and I do as well) has a ton of glucose tablets on hand for those types of situations, but if she had to take something with an animal product to counteract it, she won't hesitate.
-
I get it every day (possibly a slight overstatement).
My Fiancee gets it pretty much every few hours. (not trying to one up anyone). Her's is tricky because shes vegan so she limited on some of the stuff she can take to counteract it....still really scary when it gets bad.
-
Fiancee's sister got engaged.....already crying poormouth and how she'll have to get married in a J.O.P ceremony because they are "so poor".
Doesn't Pay Rent (lives with her now fiance in an apartment his parents own).
Doesn't Pay for her Cell Phone (Still on Parents Plan)
Doesn't Pay Car Insurance (On Parents Policy)
Doesn't have Car Payment (car passed down from Grandmother)
Works Full Time as a Licensed Physical Therapist.
Seriously?????
-
All the best buddy, they're in my prayers.
Thanks. I appreciate it. The hits keep coming, have to put one of our dogs down today.....life isn't fair sometimes either
-
Friend's Fiancee Died yesterday after being hit by a car. 24, had a kid, they were 3 weeks away from their wedding.....world doesn't make one bit of sense sometimes

Very upset with the riots in Vancouver tonight. Not because it overshadows the amazing 2011 playoffs and the Bruins first win in 30+ years, but because of the extreme damage to the city and widespread injuries to many innocent bystanders. The destruction and looting are staining the reputation of a beautiful city and it just upsets me to see people act like barbarians.
and creates fodder for (more lame) jokes about Canada. I feel bad for the good people of Vancouver who were caught up in that mess and painted with a broad brush.
-
yup. Tried on a different 10K and a 9K glove as well and the felt like crap. Sauce sent me one 9k and one 10k.........
wait, by accident, or on purpose?
-
Both the 10K gloves and kfs pro gloves I had had awful fingers.
plus the cuff on the Crosby's looks dead on for the cuff on a pair of pro stock 8k's that I've had for a a few years now.

Me too. I've had two for a while now, and love them so much I would regularly wear my all black one as an undershirt for work.
