Boat Cover Support System

I could really use some help on this one. I am looking for a way to support my pontoon boat cover. I've tried some support systems on the market: 1x2's bowed, pole supports with straps, but nothing seems to hold my cover up and most of these items just buckle under pressure and I end up having a swimming pool on my cover. I really don't know what else to try. If somebody knows a way please help me. Don't want my boat getting trashed anymore. I live in SE GA and we get rain almost everyday. Thanks for the help!

I use the cover and the cover support pole from the company below. Works really well. I live in TN and it has held up well to our rain! Hope this helps.

I wanted to gather opinions on this. I currently pay a support order but find it more geared towards my x girlfriend than my kid. There is no accountability to where my money is actually going and I'm sure there are a few daddy nights during a given week.

I pay over 400 a month (That's including the medical insurance I cover my kid with as well) Not to mention, I am obligated to pay 72 % of copays and deductibles and half of any child daycare.

Is it me or did my x girlfriend pretty much have a kid with no financial responsibility. I find this bill very very hard to keep up with especially if she enrolls him in daycare.. How is this logical? Is there anybody else out there in the same boat? I couldn't imagine a kid costing this much if the parents were together... I would like to hear some opinions on the child support system.
I am a real man and do support my child..I just recently bought a house with my wife and would incur the same amount of bills with or without child living in our home... Our house would cost the same to heat during the winter with or without.. I don't understand that logic.

I think the system needs to be changed for accountability. You don't go to a store and spend over 400 dollars without a paid receipt do you?

She still lives at home too! Anyways, I think there are plenty of people who use excuses even which ones that have been presented here to ride the gravy train through.

I understand a child's expenses but find it illogical for explanations like "Heat the house", "food" which are only fractions of cost.

My wife and I are adults and our food bill doesn't cost that much for two adults. I just want accountability and I'm sure many other paying fathers would like to see their children get the money as well.

The system is broken and needs to be fixed.
Here is another FYI... This was a X-Girlfriend.. Never married. Dated for very short period of time.

And the cost for housing would be the same wouldn't it? When my wife and I create a child we will be paying the same amount we did before we bought it. Will my mortgage go up because of a kid? NO.

Anyways, I just thought there should be accountability in place to where the money is truly going. I see child support as the mother winning and the courts winning. They have a multi billion dollar operation going using children as an excuse for filling their pockets.
On a side note : Why is the obliger looked at to pay EVERYTHING? Shouldn't the custodial parent be obligated to throw their own money into the pool????

I see this a lot.

"house, clothe, feed, provide medical, dental, visual care, day care, and entertain a child on $400 a mont"

Yes, you're right. Why doesn't the court just pillage the obliger's entire paycheck so the obligee isn't financially responsible for their child(ren)

Did the court ever think about the the obliger's current family status? Or other Dependants living with them? Nope..

$400.00 a month does not provide all the necessities for your child in one month, like a home to live in food, etc......

So you are actually getting off pretty easily and your payments you are paying is according to your income as well as your wife's and the standard of living your child was in prior to the divorce..

I know that this seems unfair to you, but your ex is actually paying far more out of pocket to provide food, clothing, a home to live in for your child as well..

Instead of Complaining you need to be grateful that God blessed you with this child.. You have an important opportunity to be a positive role model in your child's life.
And is also depend on the reasons for the divorce that the judge may have been harder on you to prove a point to you that the grass is not always greener on the other side.

Maybe both you and your ex should have tried harder to keep this marriage together for the sake of the child.
Also your ex does not need to give you an accountability of where the $400.00 is spent it helps provide a roof over your child's head. And with the high cost of living this is not a lot of money to put a roof over your child's head when the average apartment rents for around $1000.00 a month.. Than you factor in clothing, food everything else you are got a better deal than you realize.
Best of Luck

I have a group of friends i've been hanging around with for most of my high school years, right now i'll be heading into my senior year. To start off bluntly, they treat me like trash. I'm constantly made fun of and called names, regardless of me asking them to stop. I'm a sensitive kid, I take a lot of stuff personally that other people don't, but I think being relentlessly put down will make any kid lose their self esteem. Now, i've done a lot for these guys. I was the support system for one of them when his girlfriend and him were having problems, I went to great lengths to keep them together and quell their arguments. I also got this friend a job when his other one's business failed, I was the first one to refer him to my boss. He was hired the next day, I got him back on his feet. Another friend i've covered him on his shift at work at least 15-20 times when he's had things to take care of. He always tell me, "I owe you big time." I've also been his shoulder to cry one and talk to when he's had relationship problems. My third friend, I drove him around from place to place for year and half before he got his license, free of charge on gas. The last friend, I made the world hop basically for him. I let him live with me for a year and a half, I gave him food to eat, water to drink, and a bed to sleep on. He has major financial problems, he was abused by his mom and his dad has the most horrible credit ever and can't hold a house for more than a year. When he was homeless I took him in and gave him $300.00 when his dad found a house to rent for food and such to get them started. Now, a few years later i'm planning on studying quantum mechanics and theology for a career. So I do a lot of readying on that subject. I've also got a girlfriend I like to spend a lot of time with, the situation came to a climax last week when I found out they lied to me and used me to work their shift for them so they could go out on the boat. I wanted to go with them, but they told me they wern't allowed to go now and asked if I could work for them. I said sure, I don't mind, I found out they went out on the boat. I was kind of upset, so I confronted them and asked them why they lied and used me. I was laughed at, it sorta pissed me off. After school one of them pulled me aside and said the reason why was because "i've become full of myself" and "I always talk about stuff no one cares about." I was surprised, I asked for examples and they couldn't give me any. Maybe this is a personality flaw of mine that I hadn't noticed, and I kind of see that some of the philosophy crap I bring up in conversation can zap the fun out of it. It took them a year to tell me this though, while they used me to drive them around, give them money with no hope of being paid back, and I gave one of them a place to live and quite a bit of money, while always being tormented and laughed at when in a group. Constantly being made fun of has also made me quiet, i'm afraid to speak for fear of whatever I said being turned against me in a joke. They want me to be less uptight and more funny, more like I used to be in years past with them. I did grow older now, i'm 18 and i'm starting to look towards life. I'm less immature now, I have responsibilities to tend to. I can see my personality flaw though, they could be right that i'm like that. I feel like they're setting expectations for me to live by instead of me setting expectations for myself. They want me to be a certain way and won't accept me for who I am. Who really wants to hang around with a kid who's full of himself though? I will work on that. I've also become co-dependent too, without them I'm back to square one with no friends. I'm looking for advice on how to handle this, I feel like to I need to put a mask on and act differently now. Sort of change my personality to fit their needs so I can keep them as friends. Any answers would be deeply appreciated, i'm very confused.

to put it bluntly...
tell them to f off and go to hell
the same thing happened to me when i was a kid. after that i moved on and got new more deserving friends. that was five years ago and i havent looked back since

(P.S.try one of these)
1.go crawl in a hole and die
2.go drown in a sack
3.go jump of a cliff
4.go die

Two hundred and fifty five asylum seekers from Sri Lanka have been forced to live in a small wooden boat in Indonesia since October 11th. The Tamil-speaking refugees were fleeing for their lives from Sri Lanka where a quarter of a million of their people are currently suffering in so-called “refugee camps”, in reality concentration camps.

The Tamil Solidarity campaign in association with others is calling for people around the world to send letters and emails of protest to Indonesian embassies’ around the world to support the refugees and their demands for their right to asylum in Australia.

Fleeing for their lives
The refugees originally went to Malaysia hoping to find asylum there, however they were informed that any Tamils living in Malaysia would be considered members of the terrorist LTTE organization by the Sri Lankan government. As well as this, the refugees were told that since the Malaysian government had not signed the 1951 Refugee Convention, they would not be given their rights as refugees. Hence, they decided to leave Malaysia on October 1, 2009 and try to sail to Australia in a wooden boat in the hope for a better life.

After over a week of sailing they were intercepted by the Indonesian Navy, and taken to the port of Indah Kiat in Indonesia. This is inline with the so-called “Indonesian solution” policy of the Australian government, where the Australian government funds the detention of asylum seekers in Indonesia, which, unlike Australia, has not signed the 1951 Refugee Convention and does not have a system for dealing with asylum seekers or refugees.

This meant the refugees were rightly fearful that the Indonesian government would try to deport them back to Sri Lanka where there lives would be at risk, rather than allowing them to get to Australia and apply for refugee status. Instead of going quietly, they refused to leave the ship and instead demanded to meet with the UNHCR to discuss their fate and the protection of their rights as refugees. They also are demanding that they be allowed continue their journey.

Shocking conditions of the refugees

However the Indonesian government has refused point blank to allow the UNHCR to visit the refugees, and has also banned any media from meeting them and reporting their story. In a letter from the refugees themselves they explain their situation since arriving in Indonesia:

“For the last month we have been waiting on the boat at sea with all sorts of difficulties and still we have not received any favorable outcome either from Australia or any country that respects human rights. The UNHCR, which is supposed to be an international organisation that looks after the plight of the refugees, has not only refused to recognise us as refugees, but has refused to treat us as human beings. This causes us immense suffering. We are also worried and afraid of the effect that the changes in the climate will have while we are still at sea.”

Now those that change in weather is really starting to put them in danger, with heavy rain falling on the boat which only has tarpaulin roof, torn in several spot which doesn't cover all the room. Despite the fact that more 30 of those on the boat are suffering from diarrhea and other illnesses, food and medical supplies have been denied to them. When food has been supplied it has been of terrible quality, sometimes with worms, small stones or even in one case a needle in it.

The refuges have also found no help from the so-called “international community”. For instance, Britain’s special envoy to Sri Lanka, Labour Party MP Des Browne supported the Australian and Sri Lankan governments and announced that: “We take the view that it is safe to return people, including Tamils, to Sri Lanka”.

International Solidarity
However they have got support from the Tamil Solidarity campaign and the Committee for a Workers’ International (the international organization the Socialist Party is in). The Tamil Solidarity campaign has linked in with the refugees and made this a key campaign of theirs, and the website of that campaign, http://www.tamilsolidarity.org is a great source of information on the situation. Members of our sister parties in Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Australia have been in contact and given support to the Tamils, with the Socialist Party of Australia highlighting the issue in Australian media.

Fleeing for their lives? India is a lot closer than Malaysia.

This is not a genralization. But for those who completely put it off as trash.

Ever heard Lupe Fiasco?

The reason why I am directing this towards you is cuz I saw a vid talking about "The Truth Behing Hip Hop". This guy preaching against it saying it's evil.

Please, just give these 2 songs a listen:

Lyrics:

[Chorus:]
When the fighters are all around
All the lovers are underground
No one will save you anymore
So what's happening, what you rapping about?
little boy. Is it cars? Is it girls? Is it money?
The world?

[Verse 1]
Or is it something they can never believe?
Or is it something you can never achieve?
Is it
Beyond your means?
Is it
Inside your dreams?
Can it
Never come out cause it's scared to
Unprepared to
Too worried about the words of the people it's weird to
You don't want them to hear you
You just wish there was a door that would appear that you can go disappear through
Well I'm feeling your pain
I was feeling the same
But I said I'd never feel that again

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Man
I really miss my pops
Hope that God watches over him and that he's on top
That there is no more disease and that he's alright
That he's one of the generals inside the army of the light
And grandma, you know I had to bite something from you
So after every show it's "peace, and much love to you"
Auntie Tweetie's on the way, please look out for that girl
I know we'll meet again, so it's never me against the world

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I hope that God forgive us, all of us sinners
Turn us back into beginners, put us up where the winners go
Holy apartments in the gardens in which the rivers flow
Thank you for all your blessings and all of your miracles
I thank all my fans and all my supporters
Shout out to Bishop G, congrats on your new baby daughter
I tip my hat to all my family and friends
Now we just got one more to go
L - U - P - END

[Chorus]

Lyrics:
She said there was no love in her heart,
Cause one day a rapist attacked her and broke that all apart,
She said there was no way to fix it or to cover her scars,
Then one day a guy came along and probably could help her start,
He was sincere, made her believe it was safe for her to trust again,
Before long she was cool with giving hugs to him,
Knew that it was right, cause something was wrong,
The alarms in her mind didn't tell her he didn't belong,
There was no,

He said nobody else ever loved him,
That's why he'd get high enough to go touch the heavens above him,
Vividly remembers every pipe, every needle that stuck him,
Every alley he ever slept in, every purse that he snuck in,
Every level of hell he's been to and the one that he's stuck in,
The one he can't escape, even though it's of his own construction,
Maybe you can relate, maybe you're one of those that just doesn't,
Maybe he doesn't care, loves to allow these demons to come in with no,

Intruder, [x4]

Famine striking his home, landing no social standing,
In the econmic pecking order of emergency relief distribution systems,
Is in disorder, he's checking water, making sure it's safe enough for his daughter,
To float across in the boat he built, hopefully strong enough to support her,
Praying border patrols don't catch her and process and deport her,
Before she reach the shore of the land of the free, where they feed you,
Treat you like equals, decieve you, stamp you and call you illegal,
and there's an,

If the people in the group are not Christians and the lyrics are not Biblical then it's just another form of secular music. Hip Hop is a form of music. It's what the artists do with it that is either good or evil.
