Now heres innovation!

I was reading about this “lap band surgery”. Sounds fascinating. I read about it when I came across it as I am not a “slim” guy.

Basically, they say it will attune your body to lose weight, which naturally will fix some weight related issues, and consequently make your life better. Makes sense. What it does is reduces your capacity in the stomach, frankly you can eat less at any single time.

I thought “oh my” I don’t know if i am brave enough to be cut open. I learned though that its a very tiny incision, and they basically work from a little tiny camera they insert, they have these long thin tools, so theres not this huge scar, and the healing goes much faster. So then they wrap this band around your stomach, which makes it smaller, causing you to consume less, and therefore lose weight.

I think the lapband surgery may be the solution I have been seeking.

Whats nice to me is that I can still eat, so I do feel satisfied and full, but yet I eat much less. Theres no strict willpower or self control, you simply feel full.

Well again Arkansas leaves me laughing. its no wonder the Yankees make their jokes.

This year the legislators made a nifty law in Arkansas. It allows state residents, irregardless of age, to get married, as long as their parents say its okay.

So next time you ask a 5 year old what he got for his birthday, he might say “a wife.” Yes, it would be legal…

The Governor MAY call a special legislative session to correct this. Of course , he may not, hes from Arkansas too.

The law was meant to allow pregnant teens to marry with parental consent. However the wording was not done properly, and well, yeah all kids can marry now.

It will be interesting to see if the governor forces a rewrite in the interest of public sanity.

My son is 1 year old and hes showing great progress in learning. We are very proud and excited by this. So we ask ourselves, how can we as parents best facilitate the development of his gifts?

I think the answer lies in proper nurturing of it, and helping him understand the best ways to learn, via tutoring and solo learning.

If we get him an Innovative Tutor he can learn AND have fun, and the sooner a child enjoys learning, the more inclined they are to do so. I wont likely act on this til he is preschool age, and I wont push him but I want to make sure its there for him should he choose it.

I think its our duty as parents to do that for our kids. I bet you agree with me.

Everyone is talking about Brian Jones. He’s a Public Defender in Ohio.

Judge Plough appointed Mr. Jones to be an attorney for Jordan Scott. The trial was resceduled from 11am to 1 30 pm, to allow the defense preparation time.
Just prior to the trial commencement Atty Jones informed the court he couldnt go on because he was not ready yet.  Apparently its policy not to take cases to trail on such a short notice. The judge held the public defender in contempt, and called for a sheriff to remove him from the courtroom.

The attorney spent 5 hours in jail before he was able to make bail.
This is the second time this judge has done this, and the other time it was the same situation. The judge will assign a public defender to a case that goes to trial 48 hours before the trial, giving the defense no time to prepare their arguments. Is this guy a Nazi? Wow.

Organizations that believe in fair trials are coming to Jones’ defense. Judge Plough seems unmoved.It seems this Judge has always been the center of controversy, including his election win to the office.

I cant help but ponder the amount, the actual number, of words said in a hour during a jury trial. the proper words can issue the most powerful images and consequently emotions. Of course words used wrong can be boring. A personal injury attorney then , has quite a big challenge. He needs to often educate the jury on a scientific subject, like accident reconstruction.

In a complex situation words alone are not adequate. On the other end of the spectrum, too many exhibits makes the trial chaotic, detracting from the gravity of the situation. The attorney must balance words with exhibits. Enlarged photographs are useful, as are properly enlarged medical transcripts. A visually colorful time line can be essential, moreso in a medical malpractice suit.

In an accident based on a construction accident the lawyer may want a model built, to simulate the scene where his client was injured. Sometimes the thinsg that are tangible work better than photos.
