FIFA, UN and Brasilian officials are doing everything they can to stamp out racism for the upcoming World Cup in Brasil.
For too long we have seen players subjected to scrutiny from opposing fans for the colour of their skin or their background.
One of the more recent disgusting cases I still struggle to watch is the racist taunts and abuse Mario Balotelli copped in AC Milan's clash with Napoli in the Serie A. Balotelli was brought to tears as he walked over to the bench which resulted in a social media out poor.
There's no doubt the Italian league is one of the worst when it comes to racism but we are constantly seeing instances like these occur all over the world.
Just this weekend Sydney FC's Ali Abbas was subjected to racist remarks by a Western Sydney Wanderers player. For this to happen in a multicultural country like Australia is just wrong… This comes a week after Ali Abbas was part of a 'Erase Racism Round' campaign for the A-League.
"We are not here to attack religion or culture, we are here to play football," he said. "I come from a different country, I respect everyone here. I should get it back," Abbas said.
Home nation for the World Cup- Brasil is another country who are under scrutiny due to racism at games.
Former footballing stars around the world are also behind Brasil's campaign to cut out racism. Brasilian and Santos midfielder Arouca has also been a victim of racism in the last month. He has urged for a no tolerance policy during the world cup and is backing FIFA 's stand against racism.
"It's lamentable and unacceptable that there is still room for this kind of thing today…It killed the happiness I felt over our team's good performance in which I scored a nice goal, which should be what the sport is all about," said Arouca.
It is good to see the Brasilian President also taking a stand against Racism for the World Cup.
"We are going to take on racism. We have agreed with the UN and FIFA that this will be a World Cup against racism." said Brasilian President Dilma Rousseff.
As a writer and a lifelong football fan I can not stand anything more than racism in football. The players walk out onto the pitch week in week out for the love of the game, the supporters and to entertain the fans. If a minority of fans want to subject players to this type of behaviour then they don't deserve the right to attend games.
Fans all around the world need to come together as one and do their best to stand up and stamp out racism as we approach one of the greatest anticipated World Cup's in years.

"I was hungry, and you gave me nothing to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink. I was a stranger and you didn't take me into your homes. I needed clothes and you didn't give me anything to wear. I was sick, in prison, and you didn't take care of me [visit me]" (Matthew 24:42-43, GW).
We hear Jesus' words through our cultural filters and so do not fully appreciate how radical and self-denying His call to obedience truly is. For those of us in the affluent West, we think we are charitable when we buy an extra turkey at Thanksgiving and Christmas and donate it to the less fortunate through distribution organizations. But in the minds of Jesus' listeners, He was telling them to reserve portions of their own meager food supply, wrap it protectively, walk outside the protection of the city's walls into the barren countryside, risking assault by roadside thieves and wild animals, and walk into the stench of the destitute in their camps of misery. You had to mingle with the poor, becoming like them for a while. For them, it meant welcome relief. For you, it was an incarnational experience, becoming Christlike, for He emptied Himself and became one of us.
The thirst Jesus talked about was not the kind that could be satisfied by dropping off a few cases of juice to the church urban ministry. Water didn't flow from faucets. One had to walk a distance to the wells, and outside the city, there were indeed few in the desert countryside. Thirsty people were not the bike-a-thon fund raisers who need a couple pints of bottled water. Many desert dwellers in Jesus' day didn't drink for days and had no strength to get to a well. He was telling His listeners to walk for them, carry back several heavy loads of precious water, hold the dirty, insect infested head of a dehydrated child or elderly person, and lovingly, slowly, sip by sip over many hours, help them take in life sustaining water.
To Jesus, strangers were not a couple whose car broke down and needed a place to stay until it was repaired. It didn't even quite mean putting up a family whose home was burned down until their insurance company settled, however important this kindness is. To His listeners, a "stranger" was an outcast, a non-Jew, a pagan, a Samaritan. To house such a person was akin to a white family taking in a newly freed, homeless black family of slavery in the late 1800s (in the U.S.A.), risking their white neighbors setting their home on fire. It was like a Christian family housing a Jewish refugee family hiding from the Nazi Gestapo at the risk of life and property.
Gathering your used clothes and dumping them into a Red Cross or Salvation Army depository box in a supermarket parking lot on your way to shop for new clothes is not the kind of "charity" Jesus had in mind when He said to clothe the naked. His listeners knew what He said entailed hours of difficult labor to weave the wool from the sheep grazing on the countryside into tunics, to tan and sew hides into sandals, and to sacrifice your extra tunic or cloak, venturing into "unclean" villages, listening for the cries or moanings of a person whose body ached from the assault of heat, wind and cold.
Visiting the sick didn't mean going into an antiseptic hospital for an hour. Last month a courier of the Voice of the Martyrs was summoned to a tent to see a 12 year old Sudanese boy. His family was martyred by religious extremists for not renouncing Christianity and the boy was next. After asserting "I am Christian" he was thrown into a garbage fire and left as dead. Before the ministry worker entered the tent, he could smell feces, burnt flesh and human decomposition. The boy's body was swarmed by flies laying their maggot producing eggs. The worker bathed him as best he could in the child's pain, picked him up and made the difficult journey to the ministry's medical center. This is the kind of sickness, like the repulsive and contagious leprosy affliction, Jesus' listeners knew.
They also knew visiting prisoners didn't mean sitting on chairs in a colorful room with snacks available. Jesus was telling His listeners to venture into cold, damp, foul smelling dungeons; to sit with shackled people on cold dirt made mud by their feces and urine, places without toilets, water or sunlight.
Without entering the world of Jesus' days on earth, we miss how radical His call to obedience is and what He meant by loving Him as He loves us. But Jesus said to serve these people means serving Him, and not symbolically in His Name, but literally. So serious was our Lord about obedience to these mandates of self-denial and serving Him through the poor, afflicted and imprisoned, He said that if we don't do these things, He will tell us to leave His Presence, that He doesn't know us. Of course He wouldn't know us if we never ministered to Him. Jesus said if we love Him we will keep His commandments. If we are self-deluded commandment keepers, we are self-deluded lovers, meaning we don't really love the Christ but are the "lover of selves" He said would dominate the world.
"Obedience unto death" means rebirth into unending life. Adam and Eve were disobedient unto life, from their perspective. By consuming the forbidden fruit, they were deluded into believing a more fulfilling life of knowing good and evil awaited them. The fall into death was the actual fate of which they were warned. We, no longer born in God's image but in the likeness of Fallen Seth and his parents (Genesis 5:3), follow suit. Christ turned the Fall upside down, His obedience leading to redemptive death, which is life. The Kingdom of God is an upside-down place where we love those who hate, do good to our enemies, abandon our lives to live, suffer to experience joy.
The kingdom of heaven is a paradox to the spiritually blind. As in other traditions that whack us on our brains' right sides with paradoxical mandates like "Let me hear the sound of one hand clapping" or "Describe the footprints of birds in the sky," we must live in the paradox of experiencing the beauty of Christ in a burned and tortured body of His brother or sister; of redemptive suffering out of which true joy explodes as a witness to God's love and glory far exceeding the most moving and articulate sermon of words in a comfortable church.
Saints are not those who are most free from sinning. As St. Paul declared himself the chief of sinners, saints are people who sin. Rather, saints are poor in spirit, humble, incarnational. St. Paul says to suffer with those afflicted, to the point of experiencing a oneness with them. This is incarnational, to become like them, as Christ became like us, as we become like Him. A saint sins, but remains humble and contrite, seeing Christ incarnate in the poor, sick, naked, imprisoned, as Christ said He is.
We take the Fall out of disobedience and Fall into obedience. During his vision on Patmos, when St. John saw the Christ, he fell flat on his face "as a dead man." John had a fall, at the feet of Christ, the Lord, into the heavens. John took a fall up. Let us always fall upwards into the Heart of Christ.

Judy Chicago museum proposal isn't welcomed by everyone
The Dinner Party - [Image by Megan Schultz]
Belem, New Mexico mayor's willingness to donate a year's salary to erect a Judy Chicago museum is taking flak.
by Joan Altabe
December 20, 2018 at 12:24 AM December 20, 2018 at 12:24 AM
It was an offer you wouldn't expect to be refused. The mayor of Belem, New Mexico, Jerah Cordova, proposed his yearly salary to help build a museum dedicated to the Art of fellow resident Judy Chicago, but his offer is not appreciated by everyone. New York Times reporter Simon Romero quotes one of the naysayers, John K. Thompson, contending that her work is obscene: "I love fine art, but would never want to see a vagina hanging on my wall" - a reference to the artist's best-known work - The Dinner Party. I also want to share a story that goes beyond feminism.
The Dinner Party, held in the Brooklyn Museum, is a triangular-shaped table meant to connote female genitalia, with place settings for 39 women of valor ignored by history. "A lot of her art is very sexual," Thompson added, "more fitting for some liberal city far from here." Not necessarily. It took Chicago 25 years to get a museum to give The Dinner Party a permanent home. Reporter Romero seems unaware of art critics' reviews of her work and classes her an "art-world rock star." I also want to share that sexism in politics can be traced to the art world.
Roasting The Dinner Party
When The Dinner Party first appeared, in 1979, New York Times critic Hilton Kramer dismissed it as an "outrageous libel on the female imagination." In general, critics (me, included) object to Chicago's work as too expository and too point-blank - on the order of a soapbox rant.
Which was why, in 1996, Los Angeles Times art critic Christopher Knight tagged its debut there "the worst exhibition I've seen in a Los Angeles Museum in many a moon," adding that he wanted to "run screaming" from it.
Bronx cheers for Chicago
In case you think these put-downs from Kramer and Knight signify the disgust that male chauvinists feel with feminist art, Knight cited the "nearly universal Bronx cheers from art critics and feminists alike." It's something that Boston Globe critic Christine Temin wrote that makes the point.
She said that Chicago is given to "trivialize great issues." I'm with her. Honoring liberated women with a didactic display of dishes isn't all that honoring. And calling attention to their anatomy rather than their achievements is hardly a homage to their history.
Taking things literally
Surely, when Virginia Woolf wrote her feminist book, "A Room of One's Own," she didn't mean a dining room.
How trivializing is Chicago's take on important issues like women's rights? Consider the place setting she concocted for Woolf, which is a semblance of female genitalia with seed-like forms within enveloped by flower petals. The National Museum of Women Arts, representing Chicago's intent, says the table setting symbolizes the "fruitfulness" of the writer's work. As I say, her art is too expository and too point-blank to be art. Kramer said it better when he called it: "A libel on female imagination."

Ben Everitt MP Supports Thames Valley Police & Crime Commissioner's £7.7m Plan
Monday, 6 September, 2021
Ben Everitt, the MP for Milton Keynes North, is supporting the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Thames Valley's £7.72million plan to tackle neighbourhood crime ad antisocial behaviour.
Matthew Barber, the TVP PCC, has committed the spending over the next three years to support the work of Community Safety Partnerships.
Having set out his vision for tackling crime in his Police & Criminal Justice Plan earlier this summer, Matthew has highlighted the need to work in partnership with communities and local councils to tackle issues of neighbourhood crime and antisocial behaviour.
Community Safety Partnerships (CSPs) are hosted by each local authority in Thames Valley and work closely with the police and other agencies on local projects to cut crime, making communities safer and reduce reoffending.
Following his election in May, the PCC pledged to review the support for CSPs. A new funding formula has now been set out which will see a fairer allocation of resources to local councils based on population, crime levels and non-crime factors such as anti-social behaviour.
As part of the review, Matthew has also committed to a three-year funding settlement for local councils, allowing them to plan for longer-term projects that will have a greater impact on communities. In the past year, the PCC has supported local initiatives such as:
Street Associations which invests directly into residents groups who are trained and supported to spot signs and understand how scams are sold to people. Street Association members are able to support their vulnerable neighbours, helping to prevent burglary, scams and other ways that people are exploited.
Local anti-social behaviour task forces dealing with cases that do not fall under the remit of a housing authority or a council. They reduce the need for escalation to the police, help to safeguarding vulnerable residents and make use of their strong links with the council to obtain support for more serious cases.
Matthew Barber said: "The work that my team does in partnership with councils and the police is invaluable. I am delighted to be able to demonstrate a long term commitment to support local projects that seek to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour through prevention and proactive work within communities.
"This funding is in addition to the work commissioned and carried out directly by my office to support Thames Valley Police and other agencies to tackle crime and make our communities safer."
Ben Everitt MP, the MP for Milton Keynes North, added: "I'm pleased to see the Police and Crime Commissioner is investing in tackling neighbourhood crimes and antisocial behaviour and will continue to work closely with Matthew to ensure the streets of Milton Keynes are safe."
The proposals are being presented to the Thames Valley Police & Crime Panel later this month and will provide funding from April 2022 to March 2025. Projects funded through the Community Safety Fund will support the aims of the Police & Criminal Justice Plan published in June this year.

Forest vegetation ecology includes plant with biotic, abiotic and extrinsic disturbance factors, that control diversity, productivity, or ecosystem functioning.
The overarching goal of the forest vegetation ecology research effort is to better understand interactions of forest plants with each other, and with the other biotic and abiotic components of the forested ecosystem. This includes understanding interrelationships of plants with animals and microbes, feedbacks between plants and soil, and relationships of plants with extrinsic disturbance factors, notably fire. Research is also focused on the role of forest understory vegetation (e.g., shrubs, mosses) in driving forest community structure and ecosystem processes. The majority of the work is focused on the Swedish boreal forest and sub-arctic landscapes, but also include research activities across the world, including Central Europe, North America, South America, New Zealand, Australia, Africa, and China.

15 Facts You Didn't Know About Black History Month
Kelly BryantUpdated: Feb. 26, 2020
In honor of Black History Month, here are some facts about black history in America that even history buffs may not know.

The U.S. has observed Black History Month in February as a month-long celebration honoring the contributions made by African-Americans in our country. How well do you know this annual event? Here are some facts even history buffs may have missed. This is why Black History Month shouldn't be a single month.

The man with the plan
Historian Carter G. Woodson, the creator of what we presently know as Black History Month, worked passionately to establish the event in an effort to provide an education on the origins, struggles, and achievements of African-Americans in United States history. Originally, it existed as seven days of commemoration, first established in 1926 and called "Negro History Week." Woodson penned more than a dozen books, including 1933's Mis-Education of the Negro. Learn the truth about some historical figures you've been picturing all wrong.

This year marks an anniversary
On February 12, 2020, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) celebrated its 111th birthday. The date of February 12, 1909, was chosen for the NAACP's inception because it also marked the 100th birthday of President Abraham Lincoln. It's America's oldest civil rights organization, as well as its largest. This is why Black History Month is more important than ever.

Black men had a strong presence in the Wild West
You'd be hard-pressed to find much diversity in old-time Western films; however, according to Smithsonian Magazine, one in four cowboys was black. In fact, it's believed that the fictional character of The Lone Ranger was based on was Bass Reeves. Reeves was born into slavery but he fled westward during the Civil War. In time, Reeves became a Deputy U.S. Marshal. Find out some more legendary figures you never knew were inspired by real historical people.

Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination coincided with an icon's birthday
It was on Maya Angelou's birthday, April 4, 1968, that her friend, civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated. After this heinous act, Angelou stopped celebrating her birthday. However, she sent flowers to King's wife Coretta Scott King on that date until Mrs. King passed in 2006. Check out these 14 rarely seen photos of Dr. King.

Betty Boop was inspired by a black jazz singer
She may have been drawn as an old Hollywood pinup girl, but cartoon Betty Boop was actually based on Esther Jones, a Harlem-based jazz singer. Jones was known for her use of "boops" in her singing as well as what was called a child-like scat, similar to that of her illustrated counterpart.

The practice of vaccination in America has fascinating roots
A slave by the name of Onesimus, brought to the Massachusetts colony, told church minister Cotton Mather about the way inoculations were practiced in Africa for centuries to prevent people from getting sick. Mather took this information to Dr. Zabdiel Boylston when smallpox became a severe issue in Boston in 1721, reports PBS. Boylston inoculated 240 people, despite a large opposition to the practice. Find out the history lessons your teacher lied to you about.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the black population in the U.S. includes 46.8 million people; this is either alone or in combination with one or more races. A 2018 report asserts that there are 2.1 million black military veterans across the U.S. In 2015, the bureau counted 113,643 black-owned businesses nationwide.

Civil rights solidarity in sports has deep roots
Many years before Colin Kaepernick took a knee during the national anthem, two other athletes sent a powerful message about their unity with black America. During the 1968 Olympic games in Mexico City, competitors Tommie Smith and John Carlos wore black gloves and gave a salute during the anthem. Read about more American history facts you never learned in school.
Black History Month is celebrated differently around the world
In the United States and Canada, we celebrate black history in February. However, in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands, they honor it during the month of October. In 2014, Ireland became only the fourth country in the world to celebrate Black History Month.

The first state to abolish slavery might surprise you
Considering Abraham Lincoln hailed from Illinois and was the president who would eventually abolish slavery, you might expect that the first state to do away with the practice was his Midwestern state of origin. However, it was Vermont that led the way in 1777. Here are famous historical moments that didn't actually happen.

The Grammy-nominated music man
Quincy Jones hits the history books as the most nominated artist in Grammy history. He has scored a total of 79 nominations and 27 awards. Not surprisingly, he was presented with the Grammy Legend Award back in 1992. Jones is also one of the founders of the Institute for Black American Music.

Claudette Colvin pre-dated Rosa Parks in refusing to give up her seat on public transportation
Before there was Rosa Parks fighting for desegregation on a Montgomery, Alabama bus, there was Claudette Colvin. At just 15 years old, she stayed seated and refused to move to the back of the bus. According to PBS, Colvin had previously learned about the plight of Harriet Tubman and other early activists. It's believed she said, "It felt like Sojourner Truth was on one side pushing me down, and Harriet Tubman was on the other side of me pushing me down. I couldn't get up." Next, find out some of the best ways to celebrate Black History Month.

Partitioning Syria is not the answer
Abdulrahman al-Masri
The first round of Syria peace talks in 2012 resulted in an agreement that any political settlement of the conflict must end with a transitional governing body with full executive powers.
A second round of talks in 2014 failed to produce results, largely because Syrian President Bashar Assad's representatives refused to discuss such a government.
A third round of talks, known as Geneva III, is under way with representatives of the Syrian government and the opposition forces participating.
Before Geneva III, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem said his government rejected the UN envoy's call for presidential elections within 18 months. "Bashar [Assad] is a red line and is the property of the Syrian people," Muallem said at a March 12th news conference in Damascus.
UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura insisted political transition must be on the Geneva III agenda, calling it "the mother of all issues". If the talks do not succeed, he said, the only alternative is to return to war.
US Secretary of State John Kerry indicated that if a genuine shift to a transitional government does not take place in the next few months, he would consider an alternative in which Syria would be partitioned into multiple states. "It may be too late to keep it as a whole Syria if we wait much longer," he told the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 23rd.
The Geneva III negotiations are likely to fail like the previous two rounds, at which point the United States and other international powers would consider partitioning Syria along ethno-religious lines as a solution to the brutal war.
A partitioning project is not the best way to attain peace in Syria and would disregard the interconnectedness that is prevalent among Syria's various communities. The resolution to the conflict should deal with the root problems of the conflict.
The concept of partitioning Syria into enclaves is unrealistic; no group in Syria would agree to such divisions — with the exception of the separatist-oriented portion of the Syrian Kurdish population — and neither would countries in the region.
A partition of Syria would likely create three states within the current Syrian borders: a Sunni Arab state in the centre and south, a state for the Kurds in the north-east and an Alawite state on the coastal west.
Any division of Syria would result in destabilisation of regional security, potentially sparking regional conflicts, particularly between Turkey and the Kurds. Ankara would do whatever it takes to prevent the establishment of Kurdish sovereignty along its southern border.
The areas controlled by the Islamic State (ISIS) would present major challenges and, if it is to be defeated, who would take over its territory?
On a human level, partitioning would affect millions of Syrian refugees in neighbouring countries and would prevent many of them from returning to their homes.
Partitioning may present short-term humanitarian benefits by temporarily stopping the bloodshed; however, it is not sustainable and could lead to unforeseen consequences. The potential breakaway regions would be weak, economically fragile and hard to manage.
International pressure on the Assad regime is critical to reach a compromise and enable peace talks to succeed. With pressure on the regime, a comprehensive, inclusive solution for Syria could be the way to attain peace and sustainability — a solution that promotes Syrian territorial unity and civil identity, which in turn would mobilise the population to counter terrorism and stimulate tolerance. International and regional powers would benefit from upholding a unified Syria.

It is common in Kerala, for instance, particularly in the poor coastal districts, to have "miracle boxes" put in local churches: the gullible villager writes out a paper mentioning his wish: a fishing boat, a loan for a pucca house, fees for the son's schooling… And lo, a few weeks later, the miracle happens! And of course the whole family converts, making others in the village follow suit.
Conversion belongs to the times of colonialism. We have entered in the era of Unity, of coming together, of tolerance and accepting each other as we are — not of converting in the name of one elusive "true" god.

Hockinson's man of Steele steps down
Posted by Paul Valencia
Date: Friday, March 19, 2021
in: Sports
Football coach Rick Steele led Hawks to two state titles
Rick Steele spent the first 40 or so minutes of the interview answering questions, going down memory lane, sharing some fun stories, reliving the championships.
He did not get too emotional.
Until the very end.
That's when he got this question:
What does Hockinson football mean to you?
His eyes filled up with tears, he turned around to look at the stadium, with the words "Home of the Hawks," and his voice cracked just a bit.
"This stadium here. I remember when this started in '04, that was a field," Steele said. "I remember our first game here. No stands. Nothing anywhere. People had to put up their lawn chairs. … I remember that night. It was pouring down rain. Lots of umbrellas. People just standing around the track, and it was packed."
The Hockinson Hawks went 0-7 that first season.

Now, the Hawks are a powerhouse with seven consecutive league titles, and in the last three full seasons, the Hawks have two state championships and another semifinal appearance.
Those are results. Those are records. One can look them up.
But the physical symbol of the progress made at Hockinson is the stadium.
"With hundreds of kids, lots of coaches, a lot of hard work, time and effort … now when you walk into this complex, it's a beautiful place to have a football game," Steele said. "I'm just happy to be part of it."
Friday night after his Hawks took on Washougal in the final game of this abbreviated Class 2A Greater St. Helens League football schedule, Rick Steele told his players that he was stepping down as head coach.
He started the program in 2004. Had to take a year off in 2013. He returned in 2014, and the Hawks have been nothing short of excellent since then.

Going into the Washougal game, Steele compiled a record of 111-54. Since 2014, his Hawks are 71-7.
That's quite a run from starting 0-7 with a bunch of sophomores and freshmen playing varsity football in 2014.
Steele sat down with Clark County Today earlier this week. We promised not to release the interview until he had told his players after the game Friday night.
In the 40-plus minute interview, he discussed the beginnings of Hockinson football, the playoff struggles in the early years, the epic first playoff win for the program — one of the best comebacks in Clark County high school football history — and, of course, the two state championship seasons. He also discussed his future.
Here are some of the highlights of the interview. But we also invite you to watch the full interview, which also includes video clips and images of Hockinson football through the years.
Off camera, Steele, 58, said that he is not sure he is completely done with coaching football, but he is done being a head coach. The plan is to take at least two football seasons off before deciding whether to return as an assistant somewhere.
As far as stepping down at Hockinson …
"I had accomplished everything that I needed to accomplish as a head coach, and it was just time," Steele said. "God only puts us on this earth once. My wife (Jill) is retiring this year. A football coach's wife spends a lot of time alone. It's time to spend time with her, get in that motorhome, and take off."
Steele considered walking away after the 2018 season, after winning state for a second consecutive year. The 2019 season, with all the pressure associated with being the two-time state champion, took a toll on his well being, he said.

But he wanted to finish up with the Class of 2021, which would have meant the fall of 2020. The pandemic changed the timing of everything.
"The whole world is crazy right now, and it's been crazy for a year," Steele said. "I'm telling you these kids needed this football season."
They needed their coach, too.
Turns out, Steele needed them, and football, for one last go-round.
"I was just like them. I needed something normal," Steele said. "These five games have meant a lot."
Steele was an assistant coach at Hudson's Bay, his old high school, for years. He also spent time as an assistant at La Center and Prairie. When Hockinson announced it would be starting a football program, it seemed perfect for Steele, who lives near the school. Steele said he practically begged for the opportunity.
"It was going to be interesting to start a program from scratch. They gave me the job, and I don't know that anybody else even applied," Steele said. "So they gave me the job, and off we went."

In Year 3, the Hawks qualified for the playoffs. Hockinson, in fact, would make the district playoff in six of the next seven years. The Hawks lost all of those games.
Due to a conflict with his job as a firefighter, Steele had to step down for the 2013 season. The schedule worked itself out in 2014, and Hockinson rehired Steele. The Hawks went undefeated in the 2014 regular season, making the district playoff again.
Black Hills built a 21-0 lead in the fourth quarter. Steele and the Hawks were facing another loss in Week 10.
But nope. An incredible comeback led to a 24-21 victory.
"That game was the beginning of the last seven years, that run," Steele said. "We had a group of kids that had no quit. They kept playing hard in that game."
A few years later, the 2017 Hawks went undefeated in the first state championship year. Then in 2018, the Hawks did it again.
Steele shared some incredible stories on 2017 quarterback Canon Racanelli and Steele has a fun response when others ask where Hockinson is located.

In 2019, the Hawks went to the semifinals. In three years, the Hawks went 38-2.
"We had a great run of kids," Steele said, noting that Sawyer Racanelli was one of the best high school players in the state. "We just kept it running. It's not just the kids. We've got a fantastic coaching staff here."
That 2019 season also took a toll on Steele.
"When you do build a program like this and you get it playing at a high level, there's a lot of stress involved in that," he said. "To stay on top, it takes a lot."
Steele said he knew that he was nearing the end when he was grinding his teeth so hard during one game that he "chewed a molar right out of my head."
The 2020 season never happened. Instead, it was this 2021 abbreviated season, Steele's last as the head coach at Hockinson.
"Football has been awesome," Steele said. "For 36 (coaching) years of my life, it's been awesome. But there is much more to life than football. That's what I hope to get to experience with my wife."

2016-17 Game recaps
Final Score: Cavaliers hold on in Brooklyn for 116-108 victory
The Cavaliers secured a workmanlike victory against the Nets on Friday night.
By AlexRalston@ARalsto Jan 6, 2017, 9:25pm CST
Share All sharing options for: Final Score: Cavaliers hold on in Brooklyn for 116-108 victory
The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Brooklyn Nets 116-108 Friday night in the Big Apple. The game saw the return of both Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving for the Cavs and both stars were needed to secure the victory. Bolstered by the return of two of the Big Three, fans probably thought this game would be an easy win for the Wine and Gold but Brooklyn was competitive throughout the game.
The game started off rather sloppily for the Cavs as both Kyrie and Love struggled to find their legs in their return to game action. To compound the issue Tristan Thompson was struggling at the free throw line, missing all nine of his opening shots from the charity stripe. After the opening frame the team only had a four point lead and it was apparent that the team would need to play better if they intended to win the game. Luckily the team responded and ratcheted up their play on both ends of the court and ran the lead up to 11 heading into half time.
The third quarter opened and the Cavaliers offense took it to another level. The team scored 36 points in the third and looked to have put the game away for good.
However, Brooklyn continued to fight and clawed back into the game. Just like in their first meeting this season Brooklyn used a strong fourth quarter run to close a sizable gap. What was a double digit lead got all the way down to just 113-106 with under a minute remaining. LeBron James got to the line and made one of two free throws and the defense closed the game out.
For a game against Brooklyn it was probably more of a contest than Tyronn Lue would like, but given the circumstances it was a fine outing from LeBron and company. Kyrie and Love's initial rust was to be expected in their return from minor maladies and teams get up to play the defending champs.
Of note in the game Jordan McRae played rather poorly, missing all five of his attempts from the field and splitting his two attempts at the line. For a player who has been rumored to be fighting for his roster spot it was not the type of performance that would inspire David Griffin to guarantee his contract. McRae's fate will not be decided by one game but slashing guard may regret not making more of his ten minutes tonight.
The Cavaliers are next back in action Sunday at Phoenix.

Q: How to synchronizing /etc/hosts files across multiple linux machines I have 20 linux servers that use /etc/hosts files to see and talk with each other. I'm adding servers to this pool of servers.
It is required to do host resolution via the /etc/hosts files. DNS or NIS are not alternatives.
Aside from manually editing each of the 20+ /etc/hosts files every time I add a server or editing one /etc/hosts file on one server then scp'ing it to all the other servers, is there anyway to edit the /etc/hosts on one server and "push" it onto the other servers that need the new /etc/hosts file?

The workshops are a place for members of the LGBTIQA+ community from both staff and the wider VACCA community to come together in a culturally safe, inclusive and welcoming environment.
The first workshop, held on October 1st, was a huge success; attendees were greeted with a smoking ceremony and Welcome to Country from Aunty Annette Xiberras, Elder and Co-chair of the Victorian Traditional Owners Land Justice Group.
The attendees discussed 'Coming out' and the profound impact it has on their lives. In addition, they explored Queer Identities in the History of Aboriginal Culture and went through a presentation from Queer Archives Victoria. Writer and filmmaker Tarneen Onus-Williams also made an appearance as a guest speaker, talking about supporting wellbeing and preventing burn out when acting in an advocacy role.
The next Workshop will be held on Saturday October 15th at Collingwood Children's Farm and will explore the topic of fluidity in identity. Joining the group as a guest speaker is Ricki Spencer (a First Nations, LGBTIQA+ and Disability advocate) and Matika Little (founder of 'Coming Out Blak' Podcast and Advocate for Indigenous Queer Mob).
The final workshop will be held on Saturday October 29th at the Victorian Pride Centre, we're very excited to have Todd Fernando (Victorian Commissioner for LGBTIQA+ Communities) as a guest speaker, discussing what to do when experiencing discrimination.
Registrations are coming in fast so if you're interested in joining the last two workshops, express your interest here.

Denver a new market for Ice hockey
Well, the Ice hockey finals were not held in Denver which is a disappointment for hockey enthusiasts. The audience faced a terrific match here where the Colorado Avalanche won the center match from lightning. The enthusiastic audience started to predict that (Denver) becomes the new sports market/ hockey market.
Respectively, we're cleaning that it's a complete myth. No big hockey events are going to be executed here in the upcoming time duration. Even the world cup finals are also not going to happen in Denver.
The first sporting event of hockey in Denver was in 1972. After that in 1976, and the years of the 90s and 20s. Different teams are winning the cups at different sporting events and now in Colorado Avalanche got this glory in Denver.
Fast-forwarding the duration, in 2022, Stanley was in the finals again in the Stanley cup. By the experts, it's been the 3rd chapter of hockey Fanhood in Denver. Well, the manhood was crazy, and celebrating the victory of the Avalanche
Avalanche, Ball corporation, and Milbery (who established the color skyline of Denver for years) are organized together and working for recycling cups. With Milbery and his friend, he had recycled more than 1,500 aluminum ball corporation cups. And after recycling, create a complete Canvas. Milbery words on this are "When you are trying to create something on a surface like this, it's a good challenge," he said. "This is a completely recycled project, which is really special"
Matches are upcoming but the disappointing thing is that the finals are not in the Hosting city. 4 matches are still upcoming in this event and the world got its Lord Stanley Cup winner. Now, the trending topic is the victory of the Avalanche in Dever on lightning.

All Netdivorce's online divorce reviews are from real NetDivorce clients who have already completed their cases. Unlike most of our competitors, we consider it unethical to solicit a testimonial from a client whose case we are still working on.
Some of our competitors solicit online divorce reviews from their clients literally 10 seconds after they've been hired. Accordingly, the value of the online divorce review is small because the client doesn't yet know how the company will perform. Also, the client may think that they are being forced to provide a positive review or their cases may somehow be adversely affected. NetDivorce only solicits online divorce reviews from clients who already have their signed final judgments in their hands. All divorce consumers who provide NetDivorce an online divorce review have already completed their business with us and know the quality of the complete service.

After 10 years of separation from my spouse, I finally figured it was time to finalize my marital status as single. I started the divorce process numerous times but was always overwhelmed by the amount of paperwork, time and effort required to complete the reams of forms and file the documents correctly. After researching many other service providers and reading what seemed liked hundreds of reviews, I decided to use NetDivorce. I am happy to report this was one of the best decisions I ever made! The online interview process which transferred my answers to the correct forms was very straight forward and easy to understand. Each "batch" of forms required to be filed with the court are reviewed by the NetDivorce staff to ensure they are complete and ready to be submitted - avoiding unnecessary delays due to procedural errors. When it came time to actually file the papers with the court, the detailed instructions on how to print and submit the forms was invaluable.I did have direct contact with the Ed West who assisted me with questions I had regarding the Marital Separation Agreement. He was professional and answered my inquiries completely and in a timely manner. I just received the final judgment in my CA divorce case and could not be happier with the service that NetDivorce provided. The complex process was explained step-by-step and the online forms were easy to complete. Don't get me wrong...filing for a divorce is a tedious and time consuming process but NetDivorce helped navigate this process by providing detailed instructions and great customer support. If you have an uncontested divorce, willing to put forth the effort by completing the online interview used to fill out the proper legal documents and can follow detailed instructions, I highly recommend NetDivorce! I am a very satisfied customer!- Robyn C.
The services I received from NetDivorce, LLC. was to help process a divorce between myself and my husband. I actually did extensive research for an online divorce. I originally met with a actually lawyer for consultation and the cost was out of range for me. Once I did my research for online divorce, I stumbled into NetDivorce, LLC. What I appreciated the most was the fact that this company was able to give accurate information between other online companies and themselves. Instead of just agreeing with what I read, I did the research for myself and also compared each company to the Better Business Bureau. To be very honest with you, when I first signed up, I wasn't sure if the price of the service was real, but it sure was. Once I signed up, the service was extremely helpful. Every sections from the initial interviews to the very end was extremely detailed and provided examples. In addition, Ed and Peter were outstanding. I had a million questions for each section or calculation and both lawyers were caring, helpful, patient, and informative. I honestly could not complete all my paperwork error free. Every email, phone call, instant message were addressed as soon as possible. What I really appreciated was after each process (there are 3 processes), each document you had to print included a checklist of what you needed to do before taking the form to the Superior Court. This checklist was extremely necessary. I could not be able to process all my paperwork correctly if I did not have this checklist in which the lawyers Ed and Peter provided. Anytime I needed changes made, corrections, advice, etc. They were there to help out with no hesitation. I have already shared my experience and recommendations to others. I definitely rate NetDivorce, LLC a 5 star. My advice to everyone is be patient, ask questions, and follow directions. Thank you for this opportunity to share my experience. I am forever grateful.
They answered all questions patiently and were sensitive to the situation. They were very helpful and I ran into no problems.
They absolutely met my expectations! Almost immediate responses to any question with extremely thorough answers. They are more thorough than I would have ever expected at this rate, or 100x this rate (regular lawyer rates). I chose them over a competitor because of their price - I'm cheap. I already have recommended their service. You get so much more than you pay for. Step by step to guide you through the process, keeps everything fun as you go (humor), supportive through this hard time, and available for any and all questions (never made me feel stupid or bothersome though I was regularly asking questions). A+ service. I've had friends that have paid for lawyers & have paid a fortune, yet Ed was more responsive and thorough than they were and didn't charge me for asking a question!
My expectations were exceeded. This is an excellent service and deserves to be lauded. They are very thorough, and at first what seems like over-information/direction is actually vital due to the immense complexity of the divorce process. Most of the actions were self-driven and therefore available on demand immediately when needed. When I did have questions, they responded almost instantly via email or chat. My friend who went through the same process with them gave them a high recommendation, I didn't even explore other offers because I trusted his judgment. They are prompt, efficient, cost effective (in fact the service is so good for the cost I'm not sure how they turn a profit), courteous, and seem genuinely invested in your success. It made the overwhelming legal process of divorce manageable, and at your own pace. Easily a 5, one of the better services I have ever used.
They were top notch and exceeded my expectations. I reached out via email and phone and was able to get all my questions answered. There are so much more supportive than I thought an Internet experience would be. The person I worked with was responsive and clear. So responsive, that I would get emails at different times throughout the day. He was also helpful. I ended up picking NetDivorce because the company I knew no longer did it. I chose NetDivorce because overall they represented the value. I would recommend them. Their prices are great for what they do. I hope my representative gets a bonus because he did a great job!
NetDivorce, was easy to use. Explained everything, from start to finish, what to expect and affordable. I received weekly emails of the expected progress, no surprises. I would recommend them to everyone seeking a divorce. They helped make what could have been emotional time, stress free. Thank you to the people at NetDivorce.
Ed was exceptional, he really went over and above to help with every aspect of the divorce process. He even had to endure a long conversation with my ex to help with getting her to sign and notarize the documents. If you have a fairly uncomplicated suit and want to save thousands of dollars I highly recommend NetDivorce.
Net Divorce not only met my expectations but they far exceeded them. I realized as I got into each step how little I knew about all that would be involved. The Internet made it look like you fill out a few forms and you're done. In reality, there are numerous forms that must be presented sequentially and properly executed. NetDivorce provided every form, in order, along with clear instructions and proactive support to guide me through the process. I was amazed. Each email question was answered almost immediately and it was obvious that Ed was reviewing my submissions as he would make suggestions and guide me as I submitted new paperwork. There was never any lag time and the service was beyond thorough. I was attracted to their price, but that also made me wary. I read a lot of reviews and it seemed they followed through pretty well and some of the high priced ones didn't have such a good reputation. In the end, I hoped for the best and gave the low price the try. I am so thankful. I could not imagine better, personalized service! This is a time in your life when you are stressed, there is a lot of change going on and becoming an expert in this field is not at the top of your list. Take some of the pressure off and get it done right the first time by getting help. Price does not always indicate the best quality. These guys just put a good value out there and are well worth every penny. Don't pay more than you have to, these guys can get you through it.
As I said, I thought it was just a few forms, but I wasn't quite sure. After signing up, I filled out a lengthy questionnaire that got somewhat tedious and I was wondering if it would be worth all the effort. It was more than worth the effort. Not long after completing the form, I received a completely organized packet completely filled out with detailed instructions on what to do with the documents, which were presented in order. I just worked methodically through the instructions and it went smoothly. There are two more steps like that. I had to go to the courthouse a couple of times to file paperwork, and each time as I waited I watched frazzled people trying to answer questions and shuffling through reams of paper and ultimately heading home to try to get things in order. I would step up to the window and hand the clerk my packet and she would read through it and just start stamping. Each time I was complimented on how well I had everything in order! By the court!! Every single step proceeded on the first attempt. I was so grateful, because those are days you just don't want to repeat. NetDivorce helped me preserve my dignity in some small way on those difficult days. I am very thankful for the help.
This period of time is very difficult and the divorce process is complicated, yet Ed has been there constantly. The website was very easy to navigate. I was able to do the entire interview (documenting everything for the first batch of paperwork that gets submitted to the courts) in one day (very draining emotionally though). Any questions I had Ed quickly and fully answered. The first batch paperwork was easy to understand and all the pitfalls people could make were documented such that I didn't make the same ones. Filed my case & moved on to the second batch which was delivered to my ex. Of course, my ex then changed what he was going to agree to and we had to make some major changes. Ed was very polite, and made the updates for us once again. I'm now waiting on my ex once again, but that has nothing to do with Ed & netdivorce (as I always get responses from Ed within 24 hours - including on the weekends). I will be sure to document how the third batch goes once my ex does his part.
They were excellent! It is never a good time when you are walking down this path. NetDivorce lives up to what I saw online. I looked at a lot of different sites and products. They lived up to each one of their promises. I would literally contact them via email and they would respond back within 2-3 minutes. I had questions regarding the Marital Settlement Agreement and frankly, they got online and walked me through everything. Whomever I would interact with was excellent and prompt. I was sometimes unsure about the circumstances of my case like how I should list my assets and liabilities and they walked me through my options.
I would give them 5 Stars! The cost was what it was and there were no hidden fees. Their instruction package was broken down and it was nothing if not thorough. For California customers like me they are fabulous and detailed! They would advise me on the simplest things like when to staple or hole punch documents, which was dependent on your county and what they accepted to offering guidance like how to be courteous to the staff in court. The hallmark of good quality management system is continuous improvement, which is what NetDivorce does by ensuring their process is current. They are actively seeking feedback from you and it is apparent in their written instructions. I would no doubt recommend them.
If you're reading this review, you're probably at a difficult time in your life when you don't need more complications. I knew my divorce would not involve a huge court battle and began my online search. I was a little nervous choosing NetDivorce, as the price was so much more reasonable than most others, but the reviews won me over. Best decision during this whole process!!!
Just follow the clear steps spelled out for you. The web makes it sound like you file a couple of forms and you're on your way. Not at all. In the end there are reams of forms that have to be presented in a certain order and completed a certain way. If you want this to go quickly and painlessly, do this.
Upon completing a set of questions presented, your necessary forms are sent to you all filled out and in order. All you have to do is sign them There is also a checklist. Follow it and complete each task before moving on and you will sail right through this.
I can't begin to imagine how long it would have taken me to find and complete all of the forms online myself. When I went to file my neat package I saw others shuffling through pages of documents and sent away to get their affairs in order. I was able to step up to the window, get my documents stamped and get on my way. This is not a day you want to prolong! The clerk even complimented me on how well I had it all together!! County clerks never do that!
Do yourself a favor and spend a few dollars on this service and make it easy on yourself from this aspect. They are always immediately available and responsive when questions or difficulties arise and keep you on track. Frankly, the help I received was priceless.
Good luck and let someone help you on your way.
All of the best words possible would describe my experience. The gentlemen I worked with was top notch.
The gentlemen I worked with was top notch. I had a great experience with you guys. It was an easy, easy process. The clerk at the court was very impressed by my well-organized documents. Thank you very much for everything. I would definitely recommend Net Divorce to anyone who wanted to save MONEY. Thank you again. I would absolutely rate them 5 stars. All of the best words possible would describe my experience.

I'm sure it's not exactly news to anyone, but divorce is a drag. You're already at some level of emotional overload or like me, in a state of high anxiety combined with a hollow feeling of failure. Although my marriage had been long and emotionally complicated, my ex and I were determined to spend as little money as possible on bringing our partnership to an end. We wanted what monies we had managed to save throughout our marriage to be used for the benefit of our son and ourselves, not to line the pockets of the judicial system.
When I was finally ready to take the leap a quick google search brought NetDivorce near the top of my browser. Under $200 to get a divorce sounded just fine to me so I signed up and have zero regrets. I was very slow to get through the whole process but my slowness had nothing to do with the service and everything to do with my off-the-charts anxiety and irrational fear of making a mistake that would cause problems for me down the road. I asked a million questions and some of them I'm sure were pretty lame, but every response I received was not only very quick in turnaround time but respectful and kind. I tried not to use them as my therapists and stick to the law, but when I did meander off into anxious explanations and the electronic version of nervous chatter, I received nothing but understanding and good humor in return. I'd say the secret to the process lies in carefully reading and following the extremely detailed directions for readying your documents for court. They look like overkill at first but once you start in on the gathering process, it quickly becomes apparent why the directions even include how to set down a piece of paper before moving onto the next. The legal world is not my world so I took it all very seriously.
I will never use NetDivorce again because I don't plan on having another legal wedding in my lifetime but if I did need another divorce they are the first place I would go. I would highly recommend their service to anyone. The website is goofy and kind of homespun with animated faces and directives, but it is clear and easy-to-navigate and I'll tell you, when you're feeling as scared as I did slogging through the many documents modern divorce generates, those goofy cartoon directives brought a smile to my face and reminded me the world wasn't ending, I was just filling out some papers. I don't hesitate to give NetDivorce five stars in every category. Thank you Peter and Ed for your service and your humanity!
"First of all, I can't thank NetDivorce enough for your support. They were very good. The service is quick, professional, prompt and personal. Each time I sent an email, they responded specifically to my question either on the same day or that next day at the latest. They were very patient when answering my questions and explained everything clearly. The entry form was easy to fill out and understand. I was so lucky to find NetDivorce among all other search results. I was randomly searching Google and they were on the top and were the least expensive. I did not know how an online service worked and wanted to try it. I chose NetDivorce because they were the least expensive and they helped me reach this point with minimum cost. I already recommended them to co-workers and relatives. Ed responded most of the time and he was very prompt and thorough with his explanations. He stayed one step ahead of me by reviewing my information before I even went to the next step. This was a nice service to have. They made me feel confident. I got the judgment and I am free woman. I would like to give a good review to Business Consumer Alliance for following up with me so I could provide this review. Wishing you the best and more success!"
NetDivorce exceeded my expectations. They were very good at communications. Anytime there was a step that required something on my part, they would reply with a personal email instead of an automated one. I replied and got an answer right away. I used their Live Chat and someone gets on there and gives you an answer right away. My dissolution of marriage was completed in a timely manner. NetDivorce operated on my pace based upon my situation. You never know what the courts are going to do. They explained everything in detail and help you prepare. They send emails every Monday with your case status even when you are waiting on the courts and there is nothing you or they can do. The emails are a reminder to let you know where the status of the case is and what they are waiting for. It is helpful to get these reminders when you are swamped with life. The fees are very reasonable and lower than most other places. The quality of service you get for the fee that you pay is well worth it! They let you know step by step of the things you need to do. I have experience with the law and filing things through the court system. NetDivorce outlines everything in such a way that someone that has never done this before would get it.
"I spent quite a bit of time researching online divorce sites- not just reading reviews online, but visiting several sites & comparing their formats for data input, etc. I also called most of the sites I was researching to see how easy it was to get someone on the phone- and not just anyone- but someone who could answer specific questions pertaining to my case (Summary Dissolution). If you are filing for divorce in California going with netdivoce.com is hands down by far the best choice- it's a no-brainer. For starters divorce filings in California a bit different than in other states- and net divorce.com specialize in California filings (the only one I could find that does). Furthermore- their customer service is stellar- they answer the phone & return calls & emails lighting fast. Their site is very easy to use & provides extremely thorough, detailed explanations for almost every step along the way. As if that wasn't enough- to be best online divorce site out there- they are also the least expensive- less than 1/2 the price of the majority of other online divorce sites! If you are looking for the very best online divorce site for a California divorce site- look no further- netdivorce.com is it!"
"From the very beginning, I felt taken care of through a trying time with NetDivorce and my consultant, Ed. The amount of paperwork was a bit overwhelming doing it myself, but NetDivorce had such clear instructions it was fool proof. And when I did have a question or my eyes glazed over, Ed usually responded within 2 hours. I am very grateful for the quality of the service and the care. In the event you do need help with a divorce, I couldn't recommend them enough. So glad they were there for me on this journey to bring some ease to my chaos."

This isn't a service that you hope to return to as a repeat customer, however based on my experience and for the price, I don't think you could get a better deal.

NetDivorce, LLC handled the legal forms and paperwork for my divorce. The guidance from the caseworker handling my case was very helpful and much appreciated and in my opinion, one of the company's strongest attributes. When I needed to communicate with them they were accessible and if they were not available, they always responded promptly. Nowadays, a lot of companies communicate electronically, such as through email, so it was refreshing to be able to pick up the phone and contact them if needed. I found their pricing a lot more affordable than what their competitors were charging for the same type of service. I recommend NetDivorce, LLC to anyone in a similar situation.
I hired NetDivorce, LLC for a Dissolution of Domestic Partnership, which is the same process as a divorce. The gentlemen that handled my case were a Godsend. They made a very stressful time less daunting. They walked me through the process. They were always accessible, by phone or email with any concerns or questions I had. When I was looking for a company to hire, I read the many positive reviews posted online about NetDivorce, and this factored into my decision to hire them. They also charge considerably less than other companies offering the same service. If I had known the process was going to go as smooth as it did, I would have contacted them sooner!
I went to net divorce after trying to do paperwork myself. After talking with Ed, I was able to do an amendment to my original filing and saved the cost of doing another file and start all over. He guided me all the way. Any question I had he got back to me within a day. He encouraged and helped all the way through it. I would recommend anyone doing their own divorce to use netdivorce. I can't say enough for all the personalized care and help. I can't praise this website enough. Very well worth the money.
NetDivorce exceeded my expectations. I did not hope for the level of service they provided. They were detailed, answered all my questions and emailed immediately. Things were explained to me to the point where I would understand the procedure and steps to take. They gave me personalized details that were very comprehensible and did it quickly. I communicated with the case worker via email. The case worker knew my case very well and in detail. It was professional legal language and they provided personal support which was quite nice. I did an online search and checked their reviews which made sense to me. They said what they did and explained what they provided and what they don't. The prices were on the less expensive side among their competitors. I would absolutely recommend them.
They gave me personalized details that were very comprehensible and did it quickly. I would absolutely recommend them.
NetDivorce, LLC provided me with divorce paperwork assistance. My expectations were exceeded. I worked with Ed and he always responded to my questions within a half hour. They were always prompt and sometimes I'd have a response within 2 to 3 minutes of inquiring. If you are looking to file on your own, don't have a lot of assets or disputes with your ex-spouse, this is the way to go. I did the online questionnaire and all of the paperwork was filled out for me. The court dropped the ball on my file several times, and Ed told me exactly what to do, where to go, and who to talk to. I seriously would not have had the patience to try and navigate all the legalities on my own. Thanks again to Ed and the team for their prompt, thorough service. I hope not to need your services again personally, but would definitely recommend you!
I received excellent customer service from Ed. He met all of my expectations and provided prompt and thorough services. If you are trying to save money on your divorce and want a thorough and responsive company to guide you through the process, I would highly recommend NetDivorce.
NetDivorce prepared all the paperwork necessary for me to file for divorce in California. They also provided all the instructions I needed to file at the courthouse. The directions were clear, as concise as they could be, and easy to follow.
My expectations were greatly exceeded, actually. Twice I had problems and used the chat feature (I spoke with Peter both times) and he was able to help me make the necessary corrections and resend all my paperwork.
I had help within two minutes of asking for it.
Five stars. The company is great and I've already recommended them to a couple of people who are going through divorce.
Five stars. My expectations were greatly exceeded, actually.
NetDivorce exceeded my expectations. They went beyond what I expected of an online service. I felt like I had my own counsel. When I emailed them, they would get back to me immediately. I had a lot problems along the way that was out of their control, but they helped me through it all. My divorce is now final and it was a positive result for me. Ed is very knowledgeable and thorough. He is been very helpful. I would highly recommend their service.

NetDivorce, LLC. assisted me in my divorce, which was finalized a few days ago. Peter at NetDivorce, LLC. was very patient with me and the situation I was going through. I felt the help Peter gave me was very kind, accepting and easy to understand when explaining things. Peter was just helpful all throughout the process! I would recommend them to anybody. I am very happy with the outcome.

You can't beat the price. I was very impressed by the service I received. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Excellent service and great support.
NetDivorce, LLC helped me with my online divorce, which started back in May 2015. I was in contact with Ed; he was great and provided exceptional service. Ed responded to my emails within couple of minutes of me contacting them with questions. I couldn't have done it without them!!! They were very detailed in how everything had to be filed. Ed was very patient with me, which made the entire process much more easier... I definitely recommend NetDivorce, LLC.
I couldn't have done it without them!!!
I am extremely satisfied. They provide an excellent service. Their website is easy to use. On the occasions I called, someone was always available to answer my questions. I never had to leave a message and wait for a call back. They are friendly and great people to work with. I would not hesitate recommending NetDivorce to anyone who needs their services.
Can we get real about client support?: All of the major online divorce services, including NetDivorce, promise some form of "unlimited client support." Here's the problem. An overnight answering service that has no access to or knowledge about your case is not client support! It gets worse. Phone calls answered during the business day at LegalZoom.com, CompleteCase.com and MyDivorcePapers.com by untrained people who have no access to or knowledge about your case is not client support. In case you hadn't guessed, NetDivorce is a small firm. If you want your divorce case to be handled by suits in a big building, it ain't us. We have an IT/web developer guy who handles all the technical stuff, and we have Ed and Peter, who handle all cases and all client support. Ed and Peter answer phone, email and live chat Monday-Friday 7 AM to 7 PM. Relax! It's not that bad. Each of us works at his home. Peter can make it from his pool to his desk in less than 4 seconds. We're not pushed. We answer all comms. promptly. We answer over 90% of phone calls on the first pass and return all calls promptly. We each have over 30 years of experience in high-volume, low cost California divorce. We always have access to and knowledge about your case. That is client support.
LegalZoom.com may be great for business incorporations and other very simple paper-shuffling services, but they are CLUELESS on divorce! Don't take our word - check their 237 Better Business Bureau complaints in the last 3 years! Or just search on "LegalZoom divorce problems," and you'll have an interesting afternoon of reading. LegalZoom is the classical example of a company that is Jack-of-all-Trades and Master-of-None. If you want your California divorce to be handled by a bunch of suits in a big building and never get to speak to someone who knows your case, we recommend LegalZoom. If you want your case handled by 2 guys, each with over 30 years of experience in California divorce only, who answer over 90% of inbound phone calls and promptly return the call on all others, might we suggest NetDivorce.
NetDivorce met all my expectations and more. They made a difficult process, easier for me. Ed provided excellent service. They double-checked everything entered and I received more than I expected from them. I would certainly recommend them to others. I give NetDivorce a 5 Star rating!
NetDivorce made a difficult process easier.
NetDivorce does not use price anchoring to trick you into hiring us: Price anchoring is when the appliance salesman shows you the most expensive washing machine first, even though he knows that no one needs or wants the most expensive model. He just wants you to feel better about buying a less expensive model after he has anchored the big price in your mind. Price anchoring in online divorce is when all of our main competitors tell you that their $300 fee will save you "thousands of dollars" on attorney's fees. No, it won't! They're anchoring that huge price in your mind by referring to attorney's fees for complex or contested divorces. It's apples and oranges. If you have an uncontested divorce, you can find a California lawyer to handle document prep only (on an un-bundled basis) for around $400-500. Doc prep is all that CompleteCase.com, 3StepDivorce.com and DivorceWriter.com offers. Suddenly, that $300 doesn't seem like such a great deal, huh?
NetDivorce's Flat Fee is $129. There are No Ups or Extras, and You Get Your Completed Docs Immediately: When you complete our online interview, it takes literally 3-6 seconds to download the batch of prepared legal documents to your computer in pdf format. Those are complete docs - ready to be printed, signed and filed. If you pay MyDivorcePapers.com its "total" $159 fee, you must wait 3-10 business days after you complete their online interview before you get your completed docs! (Don't take our word for that - check their 22 Better Business Bureau complaints in the last year.) If you call them during the 3-10 business days, they offer you a $125 "expedition fee" to get your docs sooner. That's called a ransom. Don't pay the ransom!
NetDivorce provides a COMPLETE divorce service: The most important document in your case is the Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA). It is the written agreement between you and your spouse. It covers all issues in your case. It is not mandatory, but it is a real good idea to have an MSA even if nothing is involved in your case. The MSA ties up a lot of loose ends. NetDivorce prepares your MSA as part of our flat $129 fee. Our biggest competitor, CompleteCase.com, does NOT provide an MSA for its $299 fee! Instead of the MSA, they use only the California Judicial Council forms. NetDivorce also uses the Judicial Council forms in any case that does not request an MSA. CompleteCase.com uses only the Judicial Council forms in ALL cases. The Judicial Council forms are check-the-box and fill-in-the-blank forms. They are adequate, but they are not very detailed. Their use also tells the Judge reviewing your case that you and your spouse are NOT in agreement, even when you are in agreement. If you use CompleteCase.com to get your California divorce, you can expect that your case will be much more heavily reviewed by the Judge as s/he will think that you and your spouse are not in agreement because there is no MSA in your case. How can CompleteCase.com claim to provide a Complete Case if they don't provide the most important doc in your case?
NetDivorce Doesn't Use Bogus Testimonials to Trick You Into Hiring Us: All NetDivorce client testimonials are from real NetDivorce clients. Each testimonial is verified by the Business Consumer Alliance, a nationwide independent testimonial company, and each testimonial bears its original date. MyDivorcePapers.com runs a bogus testimonial site at certifiedcomments.com that is hosted on the same web server and has MyDivorcePapers.com as its ONLY customer!! They write their own testimonials to trick you! See our investigative report. It's kinda funny - until you realize that YOU are the target. Completecase.com doesn't use any testimonial service. They just re-cycle the same un-verified "testimonials" they've been using for 15 years.
NetDivorce handles ONLY California divorce! We are experts in the laws, procedures and practices of the Superior Courts of the 58 counties of California. As far as we are aware, we are the only online divorce service that handles just California divorce. If you think that a nationwide online divorce service that claims to be expert in the divorce procedures of all 3000+ counties in the entire USA is going to know what to do in your case in your local court, good luck.
NetDivorce meet my expectation far BEYOND expected!! Peter and Ed were outstanding; they answered all questions I had in a professional manner and with very informative answers. There simple to use website included the interview process which allows you to enter all the facts about your divorce with a multitude of information for each topic as well. And if you still have questions, the live online chat with Peter was great, he was able to answer any of my questions right on the spot. After you complete the interview process, the batches are prepared for you to print out and take to the court; they have very detailed instructions on how to prepare them as well. After that you have email correspondence with Ed to guide you through and check out your situation on a personal level, and you can ask him anything with a response usually within 30 minutes, once again with very professional and knowledgeable answers. It is safe to say that they know there stuff since I had no returned papers from the court and had my divorce completely filed and signed by the judge within 3 weeks of turning my final batch to the court. Undoubtedly they rate a 5!!! For having to go through a divorce and do it yourself, NetDivorce was unquestionably the best choice I could have made. Peter and Ed's customer interaction and knowledge are second to none. If you have to go through a divorce in California, and you can do it uncontested, then NetDivorce is the only way to go, and the price is right as well!
NetDivorce is the only way to go.
"Ed was my case worker. He was great, he went above and beyond. He was always available to answer my questions and walk me through the paperwork. It is a very simple process and you can't beat the price. I had a very positive experience with NetDivorce. I highly recommend them."
