Every day, we wake up with a choice. We can choose to embrace the day as a new opportunity to learn, grow, and make a positive impact on the world, or we can let fear, doubt, and negativity hold us back. It's easy to get caught up in the challenges and obstacles we face, but it's important to remember that these challenges are what shape us into who we are. Each obstacle is a chance to learn something new, to become stronger, more resilient, and more capable than we were before. But we don't hav

Oh Sugar!
Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson were vacationing in Italy and as onlookers witnessed, their bromance is alive and well.
Not the first time these two have been seen horsing around on vacation!
Once the wrestling for fun was over Woody was left nursing a black eye.
All in the game of fun we guess…
Is it me or do these guys act like it does not matter what they do or where they are carrying on at?
Whereas, by requirement of the United States Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, no one can be sworn into office as president of the United States without being a natural born citizen;
Whereas, there is sufficient controversy within the citizenry of the United States as to whether presidential election winner Barack Obama was actually born in Hawaii as he claims;
Whereas, Barack Obama has refused repeated calls to release publicly his entire Hawaiian birth certificate, which would include the actual hospital that performed the delivery;
Whereas, lawsuits filed in several states seeking only proof of the basic minimal standard of eligibility have been rebuffed;
Whereas, Hawaii at the time of Obama's birth allowed births that took place in foreign countries to be registered in Hawaii;
Whereas, concerns that our government is not taking this constitutional question seriously will result in diminished confidence in our system of free and fair elections;
| SIGN THE PETITION We, the undersigned, assert our rights as citizens of the United States in demanding that the constitutional eligibility requirement be taken seriously and that any and all controlling legal authorities in this matter examine the complete birth certificate of Barack Obama, including the actual city and hospital of birth, and make that document available to the American people for inspection.

Unfortunately Nas you must realize that it would have been cheaper to keep her. No matter what the situation was or is, we all have to deal with woman in one way or another. I personally feel for you since I know what its like to have to part ways with someone that I was once in love with... Now the difference is that you may still have love for that person but the level of sacrifice that you were once willing to take is gone. I have come to a great realization that you must still continue to provide for her and your children. I know that the child support system is not the greatest and as many flaws on how they calculate what is suppose to be paid, I think that advance trig is easier.
Lets look at it from this perspective if she is happy, it keeps your ass out of the news, come to a conclusion that you need to pay up and do it!
A sentencing hearing was scheduled Friday for one of the state's most wanted child support evaders. Former pro baseball player Troy Neel was arrested in December for not paying child support.
He owes more than $725,000 for more than eight years of missed payments.
Neel used to play baseball for the Oakland A's and professionally in Japan.
He's charged with fleeing the country to avoid paying.
He could serve up to two years in prison.
Now before you make comments about how it's too much money, you should look at the whole picture. When Neel and his wife divorced, he was a pro ball player who decided to leave the US and buy a resort in a country that had no extradition agreement with the US. coincidence? I don't think so ... plus that $725k number is not only the 8 years of non-payment on his end, but also the interest and court costs accrued while he was gone on permanent vacation. I think that it is a pile dung that the court will earn $10,000 dollars or more simply because the wife filed a claim... The child should benefit not the city!
Neel fleed to Vanuatu a small chain of islands located about 1,000 miles east of Australia. Neel's tropical resort is surrounded by white sandy beaches, features a restaurant overlooking a lagoon and has the country's only full-service spa, according to its Web site. ... he and his new wife lived and operated a 21 room resort on a 16 acre island, he hosted fishing tournaments and oh ... and he owns the flip pin' island too! for the 8 years he lived there, I'd bet he never saw his children. he was originally ordered to pay $5k a month for his 2 children, if he needed it modified to a smaller amount because he wasn't making the money he used to, then he could have petitioned the courts to do so and it would have been an easy process if he could prove he didn't make the money he had in the past.
Much of what Neel owes is from interest. The principal is more than $300,000, Assistant U.S. Attorney Bud Paulissen said.
Sustaita did not elaborate during the hearing over the amount he believes Neel owes. That is expected to be brought up during the sentencing hearing.
Neel is a Texas native who attended Texas A&M University. A San Antonio federal grand jury indicted him in 2005 on a charge of foreign travel to evade child support obligations. He was arrested at a Los Angeles airport in December as he got off a flight from Australia.
I honestly have no sympathy for a guy that refuse to not take care of his kids. Pay the mother if you don't do anything else, you may have beat the system, but you deserve everything that you are going to get!
Frank Hatley was just released from prison after he was jailed for not paying child support for a child that is not his:
Frank Hatley spent the past year in jail for being a deadbeat dad. But there’s one problem — Hatley doesn’t have any children. And, the “deadbeat” label doesn’t fit the 50-year-old either, his supporters say. After a hearing, Hatley was released from the Cook County Jail in south Georgia Wednesday afternoon, with the help of the Southern Center for Human Rights.
Superior Court Judge Dane Perkins ruled that Hatley was indigent and should not be jailed for not being able to make child support payments. Perkins postponed a decision on whether Hatley should have to make any more back payments on child-support for a child who is not his. In June of last year, a judge ordered Hatley to jail for failing to reimburse the state for public assistance that was paid to support his “son,” who, as the court was aware, is not actually his son.
The story dates back to 1986, when Hatley had a relationship with Essie Lee Morrison. She became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Morrison told Hatley that the child was his, but……the couple ended their relationship shortly after the boy’s birth, according to court documents. The couple never married and never lived together, the documents state.When the boy turned 2, Morrison applied for public support for her son. Under Georgia law, the state can go after the non-custodial parent to recoup the assistance. For 13 years, Hatley made payments to the state until learning, in 2000, that the boy might not be his biological son. A DNA test that year confirmed that there was no chance he was the father, according to court documents. Hatley returned to court and was relieved of any future child support reimbursement but was ordered to pay more than $16,000 that he had owed the state before the ruling.
Latesha Bradley, an attorney who represented Hatley in that hearing, told CNN the argument for keeping Hatley liable for the back payments was that he had signed a consent agreement with the office of child support services. The court agreed that Hatley had to comply with the consent agreement for the period that he believed the boy was his son.
Court documents show that Hatley for the most part continued to make payments. He was jailed for six months in 2006 for falling behind on payments during a period of unemployment, but afterward he resumed making payments and continued to do so even after he lost another job in 2008 and became homeless, court records state. Last year, he again became unable to maintain the payments and was once again jailed.
The circumstances of Hatley’s arrest didn’t feel right to many, including Cook County Sheriff Johnny Daughtrey. “I knew the gentleman’s plight and didn’t know how to help him,” Daughtrey told CNN. About two months ago, when attorneys from the Southern Center for Human Rights visited his jail, Daughtrey alerted them to Hatley’s case.
I really feel this guy got the shaft, but the amount of time that he established a relationship with the child became his enemy. The one thing that I think that should happen is that any woman found guilty committing fraud of this crime should be forced to repay all money that the man had to pay and if she refuse to pay lock her ass up! Deceiving someone to believe that he is the father is fraud and should be a crime! As a matter of fact it should be called the deception bill.
