Criminal Defendants on Trial - Motions to Dismiss Charges

2012-01-28T01:13:00.001-08:00

Before Charges are Filed

It is essential to retain an experienced criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible after the accused is arrested. In fact, if the police contact the accused during their investigation but before arrest, it is time to consult with a criminal defense lawyer. As the attorney discusses the investigation with the detective he might be able to convince the police not to make an arrest at all or to arrest on lesser charges. One of the attorney's primary functions is to attempt to reduce or eliminate the charges. That is the underlying thrust behind motions to dismiss throughout the entire case: to reduce or eliminate charges.

After the arrest there is a slight window of two to three weeks before the State Attorney's Office files the formal charges. This is a crucial time window. Wouldn't it be great to be in the conference room when the State's case filing attorneys are considering what, if any, charges they will file in this case? Well, the accused cannot be there. The experienced criminal defense lawyer knows just how to present the facts in support of his client's position in front of this esteemed group of prosecutors so that they will give due consideration to the arguments for reducing or eliminating charges. This powerful tool takes place before they actually file charges. This, too, is akin to a motion to dismiss or reduce charges that the attorney can work with even before the case begins in Court.

After Charges Have Been Filed

Once the State Attorney's case filing section decides on the charges, a written Information is filed with the Clerk in the Court file. At this point, these are the formal charges that the attorney will be fighting on his client's behalf. The Court will set an Arraignment, which is the first Court hearing. The formal charges may be read aloud in open Court unless the accused decides to waive the reading. Next the accused must make a choice between two possible pleas. The attorney will inform the Court if the accused intends to plead guilty [meaning a jury trial is not wanted and the Court can pronounce sentence right away], or the accused can plead not guilty [meaning a jury trial is desired and none of the Constitutional rights will be waived].

If the attorney selects to file a Written Plea of Not Guilty and Demand for Jury Trial with the Court prior to the date of the Arraignment, the Court will waive the presence of the defendant and his/her attorney and the reading of the charges is also waived. This procedure can save the defendant a trip to the courthouse. This is the only Court hearing where the presence of the defendant can be automatically waived. [If a defendant lives out of state or has some particular impediment to appearing in Court personally, the attorney can file a written motion for the Court to waive his/her appearance and obtain an Order to that affect. This is beyond the scope of this article.]

Whether the defendant appears for formal Arraignment or waives it by Written Plea filed by his/her attorney beforehand, the attorney will always ask the Court for 15 days for the filing of Defense motions. The rules of Court generally set the time for making motions to dismiss at the time of Arraignment. It is rare that the lawyer could be prepared so soon in the representation to articulate grounds for dismissing the charges in writing including case citations of law. This is why the attorney asks for more time to investigate whether there are viable grounds for filing a Motion to Dismiss and to perform the proper legal research. If the grounds for dismissal are based on fundamental rights [i.e., rights that arise under the U.S. Constitution] they can be raised at any time during the pre-trial procedure.

The Written Motion to Dismiss

There are two basic divisions of the Court system: civil cases concern money issues; criminal cases concern liberty interests. While in civil cases the motion to dismiss is filed with every answer to every complaint and is very often granted by the Court, in criminal cases a motion to dismiss is less often used. That is because in criminal cases the State brings the charges and only the State can change or alter the charges unless there are clear grounds for the Court to take control and dismiss as a matter of law. For example, if the statute of limitations has run, the Court can determine that from the record and dismiss that charge as a matter of law.

The criminal law motion to dismiss is actually more like the civil law motion for summary judgment. In both of these, the party making the motion is saying in effect that there are no material facts in dispute and therefore the law requires that the charge/complaint be dismissed. In civil cases, the other party will try to file affidavits or statements under oath that controvert the facts and thus require the case to go to a jury to decide the factual questions. In criminal cases, the State can file a traverse which is a response outlining the facts that are actually in dispute. If the State can show that there is a factual dispute, the motion to dismiss must be denied and the case must go to the jury to decide those facts.

The motion to dismiss must be made in writing and state that there are no material disputed facts and that the undisputed facts do not establish a prima facie case of guilt or that they do establish a complete defense. The attorney will cite to police reports, affidavits, depositions under oath, etc. to support the motion to dismiss. The motion must be sworn to under oath by the defendant or by someone with personal knowledge. All defenses available by plea, other than not guilty, must be raised by a motion to dismiss whether they relate to matters of form, substance, former acquittal, former jeopardy, not guilty by reason of insanity, or any other defense.

The function of the attorney remains constant. He is consistently trying to reduce or eliminate charges.

The State's Response to the Motion to Dismiss

If the motion is sufficient on its face, the State must oppose by either traverse or demurer. A traverse says that the motion's factual assertions are false or incomplete and issues of fact remain as to whether the defendant committed the crime. A demurrer says that even if the facts alleged by the defendant are true and complete, dismissal cannot be granted as a matter of law. If the state's traverse or demurrer indicates ultimate facts that raise a material issue of fact in the case, the Court must deny the motion to dismiss.

Evidentiary Uses

Sworn motions to dismiss and traverses are sharp tools in the criminal defense lawyer's hand as he crafts this pretrial battle. Even more they are power weapons for the trial because they are now in the record as admissions by party opponents. They will be admissible as substantive evidence if any of the State's witnesses change their testimony slightly at trial. As always, they can be used to impeach the witness' credibility.

Now it can be better understood why experienced criminal defense lawyers, whose role is to reduce or eliminate charges, seek to utilize the powerful tool of motions to dismiss in order to better their client's position during both pretrial and jury trial.

Best of the Bahamas - The 10 Best Bahamas Islands

2012-01-27T12:17:00.001-08:00

For tropical vacations, the Bahamas are legendary. And with good reason. Even as one of the smallest countries in the world, the Bahamas archipelago, with its approximately 700 tiny islands and 2,000 tinier islets, offers a broad spectrum of topography, facilities and recreational opportunities, and gorgeous, pristine beaches besides. There are nearly 30 inhabited islands here, and of those more than a dozen hold tourist interest.

So, for those visiting the Bahamas for the first time, or even those revisiting, here are the 'Top 10' islands in the archipelago, which are also the ones most easily accessible to visitors.

1. New Providence

New Providence is the principal island in the Bahamas. It is by far the most populous, most popular, and literally a magnet for vacationers, particularly Americans. On it is located Nassau, the largest and best known Bahamian city, which claims more than 175,000 people and over 400 banks (oh, did we mention that the Bahamas is a tax haven? No? Well, it is!)! Accommodations, dining choices and other visitor facilities are plentiful here, as are other real time tourist attractions. Besides its history-laden narrow streets and British-era forts, the chief draws here are the Atlantis International Resort and Casino and the Queen's Staircase, the latter a 65-step stone stairway, representing one step for each year of Queen Victoria's rule, which climbs 102 feet to Fort Fincastle. Popular activities include swimming, snorkeling, windsurfing, parasailing, diving, sport fishing, walking and bicycling.

2. Grand Bahama

Grand Bahama is the fourth largest island in the Bahamas. A travel brochure for the island describes it as "cosmopolitan glitz and glamour, coupled with miles of pristine beaches and endless turquoise seas." And that really sums it up. The island has a dozen or so good hotels, several excellent waterfront restaurants, outstanding shopping venues, two casinos, and miles and miles of sandy beaches. The main city here is Freeport, which is the second largest and most modern in the Bahamas, with a population of 50,000. The big draw on the island is the Lucayan National Park, an environmental happening of sorts.

3. The Abacos

The Abacos, or just Abaco, is a cluster of tiny islands, islets and outcroppings that forms a 100-mile-long archipelago of its own. This is the second largest such island group in the Bahamas, and the most visited among the Bahamian 'Out Islands'. Its capital city, Marsh Harbour, which is really a one-stop-light town, is the third largest in the Bahamas. There are other quaint towns and villages on the other Abacos islands as well, with pastel-colored clapboard houses, sun-drenched beaches, abundant tropical flora, quiet country lanes, and more than 50 species of wild tropical birds. Recreation in the Abacos includes all the warm-weather outdoor sports you can think of, while the amenities here can be described as modern.

4. Andros

Andros is by far the largest island in the Bahamas, 104 miles long and 40 miles wide, located just north of the Abacos, with an island-wide population of 8,000. There are three main towns on Andros, Nicholl's Town, Fresh Creek and Kemp's Bay, all of them accessible by boat or direct flights from either Miami or Nassau. There are good visitor facilities here, including a wide selection of accommodations, ranging from full-fledged resorts to neat little guest houses. The island is particularly popular with divers.

5. Bimini

Bimini, just a stone's throw from Florida (okay, 50 miles) and made famous by the likes of Ernest Hemingway and Zane Grey, is all about fishing, fishing, and fishing. It comprises two distinct islands, with a combined land mass of less than 10 square miles, and a population of around 1,600, most of whom live in Bailey Town in North Bimini. However, Alice Town, the other Bimini population center, is the primary tourist hub, with all the hotels, restaurants and fishing charter companies located there. Most visitors go to Bimini to fish, and the island, besides, is the locale of more than 20 well-known fishing tournaments.

6. Eleuthera

Eleuthera, which is perhaps the longest of the Bahamian islands, more than 110 miles long, and which lies 60 miles west of Nassau, is the playground of the rich and famous. It is consequently also one of the most accessible of the Bahamas islands, with daily flights from Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Nassau. The island has a population of 10,800, and its principal towns are Spanish Wells, the wealthiest colony in the Bahamas; Harbour Island, a resort island with clear water and a pink-tinged beach; Gregory Town, the locale of the island's Pineapple Festival; Governor's Harbour, a typical tropical town with history and charm; and Tarpum Bay, an artists' community where, among others, artists Mal Flanders, an American, and MacMillan Hughes, a Scotsman, went to paint the scenery.

7. The Exumas

Situated 35 miles east of New Providence, the Exumas comprise a chain of roughly 350 islands and cays, strung out along some 95 miles of open ocean, all the way down to Long Island. There are about 3,500 inhabitants in the Exumas, the majority of whom live on Greater Exuma and Little Exuma, located in the southern part of the island chain, in the principal population centers of George Town and Williams Town, respectively. The Exumas are also well connected via daily flights to both Miami and Nassau. Boating, fishing, beachcombing and swimming are the main pursuits here, with good, modern amenities for vacationers.

8. Cat Island

For sheer natural beauty and solitude, Cat Island is the pick of the bunch. A 50-square-mile island, it offers a tranquil retreat with rolling hills, lush green forests and vast expanses of windswept beaches. There are few creature comforts here, and visitor activities typically center around swimming, hiking and poking through the ruins of the old, Colonial plantations. Sights on the island include the Hermitage, a miniature, hand-built abbey on Mount Alverina, the highest point on the island at 206 feet; and the ruins of the Deveaux Plantation at Port Howe, a veritable slice of local history in a spectacular setting.

9. The Inaguas

The third largest, remotest and most southerly in the Bahamas chain, the Inaguas are also the most sparsely populated. There are fewer than 1,200 inhabitants here, all of them on Great Inagua, with Little Inagua, just to the north, uninhabited. And while the Inaguas are hardly a top choice for tourists, the few who do venture this far south are well rewarded with miles and miles of unspoiled rocky shorelines and more wildlife than on any of the other islands. Walking, bicycling, fishing and bird-watching are the order of the day. Besides which, two places of particular interest here are the Inagua National Park, with its 280 miles of rocky shoreline, inland waters, saltwater flats, shrubland and jungle, populated with its famous flamingos and over 200 other species of birds; and the picturesque Matthew Town Lighthouse, standing at the southern tip of the Inaguas like a lone sentinel.

10. San Salvador

San Salvador, situated just to the northeast of the Bahamas' Long Island, is 12 miles long and 6 miles wide, with fewer than 600 people. The main population center here is Cockburn Town, the capital of both San Salvador and its smaller sister island to the west, Rum Cay. Virtually all of the island's residents live here, yet this is one of the smallest communities in the Bahamas Out Islands. Oh, and Club Med is here as well, just a couple of miles from Cockburn Town.

One Way Cargo Van Rental

2012-01-25T21:45:00.001-08:00

If your are moving to a different city or a new state then a one way cargo van rental might be the best solution for you. This gives you the freedom to move all your possessions and goods across the country without the worry of having to return the cargo van to the place where you hired it from. You will need to check with the van rental company to make sure that they have a dealership in the city you are moving to. If they don't, you will not be able to hire the cargo van one way. This is rarely a problem, as the majority of van rental companies have dealerships in all the major cities. Even if there is no dealership in the city you are moving to, there may be a dealership in a nearby city.

It is not overly difficult to find a discount one way cargo van rental. The best place to start the search in on the internet. You can visit the sites of all the van rental companies and check out their best deals. You should also have a look for some van rental coupons, as these can help save you about 10% of your van rental. If you decide to ring the van rental company to book your one way cargo van rental, make sure you mention the coupon code. Booking online is usually the best option as it is very easy and you get a response very quickly.

When you book a cargo van make sure that it will be large enough to carry all of your possessions. While a smaller van may be cheaper to hire, some items (such as furniture) can take up more space than you anticipate. To be safe, it is probably better to book a larger van than you think is necessary to hold all of your items.

The Short History of Crocs

2012-01-25T09:43:00.001-08:00

Croc shoes, the world-renowned, brightly colored phenomenon that originated from a pair of plastic spa shoes, have certainly come a long way! The first manufacturing plant, and the current Crocs headquarters, is located in Boulder, Colorado. However, the Crocs company has rapidly branched out into a worldwide franchise with operating companies in Italy, China, Florida, and Mexico. It all started when George Boedecker took his idea and turned it into 200 pairs of the first Croc shoes, debuting them at a boat show in Ft. Lauderdale. After selling out that day, he realized he had something with a whole lot of potential.

The main selling point for the Croc shoes was the "croslite" material that they were made from, which molded to the wearers foot and provided comfort and multiple orthopedic benefits. Foam Creations, the company that developed and produced croslite, was sold to Crocs in 2004-along with the rights to the croslite material. That was the first of many additions to the company. Next came the addition of Jibbitz in 2006, and a whole new category of Crocs opened up. Jibbitz manufactures shoe accessories, little designs that pop in and out of the ventilation ports in Crocs shoes. This brought another wave of fans to the Crocs franchise, and it continued to grow. In 2007 came the additions of Bite Footware and Ocean Minded, golf shoe and sandal manufactures respectively. Currently, the 5,300 employee team at Crocs manufactures a vast variety of shoe styles, along with accessories and apparel, including a line of purses! To date, the company's operating budget sits somewhere around 168.2 million dollars.

The amazing success of Croc shoes is a testimony to a great design combined with savvy entrepreneurship-the entrepreneurship of George B. Boedecker. Boedecker was involved in business ownership and management for most of his working life. He started out working for Dominos, where he owned and operated over 100 franchises. From there he founded Oregon Food Concepts, a company that encompasses the states of Washington and Oregon, owning and operating multiple Quiznos franchises. He also worked for Quiznos in Canada, where he served as Chief Operating Officer of International Sales and Operations and Executive Vice President from 1996 to February of 2002. That was when he began serving as the Chief Executive Officer of Crocs, which he did until 2006. Currently, he works as the Director of the Anthony H. Kruse Foundation, a company whose focus is on helping others to become entrepreneurs themselves.

Croc shoes are a unique fashion piece-they are famous for their comfort rather than their looks. Interestingly, there are equally heated opinions both in support of and against Croc shoes, but those who actually take the time to try them out are never disappointed.

Matthew Giovanisci writes for Croc Shoes News, a website dedicated to the promotion and benefits of Croc sandals

Best Places to Go for Winter Sun

2012-01-24T07:50:00.001-08:00

There are many fun not-too-far-off places to go during the winter to get away from the freezing weather. My favorites are California, Florida, Hawaii, Mexico, and the Caribbean. (Actually I live in California, so I don't have to go there on vacation!)

California is my favorite state. I have lived there for about half my life and I never get tired of it. Both northern and southern California are quite exciting in very different ways. When people think of California, they usually think of southern California - the beaches, Hollywood, and Disneyland. These are all very fun places to visit. The three main big cities in southern California are Los Angeles, San Diego, and Santa Barbara.

Northern California is another world. San Francisco is a beautiful, large old city surrounded by water on three sides, the San Francisco Bay to the east, the Golden Gate to the north, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. The Bay Area, the metropolitan area of San Francisco, is comprised of the nine counties along the San Francisco Bay and is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country. It includes San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, San Rafael, Santa Rosa, and San Jose.

Hawaii is the southernmost state. It consists of eight islands: Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, and Hawaii. Hawaii is the biggest island geographically and home to the volcano Mauna Kea, the tallest mountain in the islands. All the islands were formed from volcanoes. Honolulu, the capitol and largest city in Hawaii, is on the island of Oahu. Hawaii also has many beautiful beaches.

Florida is another gorgeous state with lots of sun and nice beaches. Fun places to go in Florida include Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, Daytona, and the Florida Keys, Key West in particular. Orlando has many theme parks, including Walt Disney World and Sea World.

From Florida it's easy to get to the Caribbean by boat. A cruise is the best way to tour the Caribbean Islands, which include the Bahamas, St. Martin, St. Lucia, Martinique, and Puerto Rico. The Islands are beautiful but very poor. However, the natives are quite friendly.

Mexico is another spectacular place to travel during the winter. Besides Tijuana, which is a dump, the only places I've visited in Mexico are Cancun and the Yukitan Peninsula, which are quite beautiful. Cancun is one of many resort towns in Mexico, built primarily for tourists, some others being Acapulco, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vaerte. To see the real Mexico, you need to take day trips from these cities. The Chichen Itsa is a fabulous Mayan pyramid in the Yukitan peninsula, an easy day trip from Cancun.

Cebu City, Philippines - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

2012-01-14T10:39:00.001-08:00

A tourist visiting Cebu City for the first time may well be turned off by some of the city sites. The city has several world class resorts, hotels, beaches and dive sites. It also has some areas of the world's most devastating poverty. Cebu City is the capital city of the Cebu Province and it is the second largest city in the Philippines following Manila. I always feel at home in the city and lived in the city before building my home in the rural Cebu Province of Camotes Islands. Cebu City is a mix of the old and new, rich and poor, good and bad and pretty and ugly. There is also the mix of clean and really dirty or filthy. The rule for anyone going to Cebu for the first time is to not make a snap judgment.

My first trip to Cebu City was in February 2004. I went to the Philippines to meet a girl (Judith) now my wife. I flew into the Cebu-Mactan Airport and was met by Judith and one of here sisters. My flight started in Florida and the last leg of the flight was from Hong Kong. The Cebu International airport is just a little outdated, but very functional. Once outside of the airport doors I saw waves of people waiting to meet people coming off of the flight from Hong Kong. The airport was not all that busy when I arrived and I think my plane was the only arriving flight at the time. As people from my flight walk outside of the airport door they were bombarded with shuttle, taxi and V-hire greeters, all trying to get a fare. I met Judith just outside the airport doors. She, her sister and I all jumped into an old Kia Taxi and we were off to my hotel.

The taxi was old and not very well maintained. The Air conditioner didn't work and the window wouldn't go down. Of course that didn't matter as I couldn't close the door because the door latch was broken. So, I got lots of air. The hotel was about a 30 minute drive from the airport. As we traveled the city streets I saw crowded sidewalks made even more crowded by the many sidewalk vendors and street vendors. Some of the roads we traveled were moderately maintained while others were in very poor condition. The roads were crowded with many types of cars, but mostly Kia's and Hyundais. There were also a lot of Jeepneys, a Philippine traditional method of travel. A jeepney looks like a stretched army jeep with a hardtop and a large cargo area used for two benches for passenger seating. Jeepneys are normally painted with several different colors and lots of chrome. Many of the jeepneys are poorly maintained and most have bald tires and the braking systems may be questionable. Also, there were lots of small motorcycles.

After traveling just a few minutes I decided that the most dangerous vehicle in Cebu was the Jeepney, the Taxi and finally the motorcycle. The jeepney drivers tend to rule the road and stop on either side of the road to pick up or drop off passengers. I saw many jeepneys cut both lanes of traffic off just to drop off people and then saw others swerve quickly to the side of the road cutting off traffic so the driver could jump out of the jeepney to urinate along the side of the road. Taxis are no better, but pose a slightly smaller threat because the vehicles are smaller than a jeepney Motorcycles seem to be a danger only to the motorcycle driver and passengers and anyone walking along side the road or on the sidewalk. Motorcycles make their own traffic lanes on whatever little shoulder the road may have to offer or sometimes drive on the painted divider line as a narrow roadway to make an extra traffic lane for themselves. At other times I saw motorcycles throttle down sidewalks weaving around pedestrians. Yet, the pedestrians seemed little concerned of the carelessness and just continued on their way.

As we continued on our way to the hotel we drove through many different areas of the city. Some areas were very old and the buildings looked as though they were ready for demolition years ago. Many buildings and store fronts are concrete with plywood or corrugated steel sheets added to broken windows and steel bars cover the window or plywood. I can't imagine what would be worth the cost of the steel bars as the buildings were so poor. I was sure the contents within were no better. I noticed several small store fronts with one big open widow covered with chicken wire. These little stores are about the size of a small closet and there are dozen of these little stores on every street. They are called sari-sari stores and sell just a very few items such as canned fish, rice, snacks, cigarettes and so on. Most of these little stores are attached to the front of private houses and are crudely constructed of unpainted plywood and tin roofs. Most of the Sari-sari stores block the sidewalk, forcing people to walk on the road to get around the protruding plywood box. Other Sari-sari stores have a small table or tables along the narrow sidewalks for their rum buying customers and a karaoke machine assist in blocking the sidewalks.

In many of the old areas the sidewalks are filled with vendor's shacks, tents or some other type of hurried shelter to sell goods. The sidewalks belong to the vendors and the pedestrian is left to find his own way around the ugly obstructions. These small vendor shacks on the sidewalks block the store buildings behind and I still wonder why the store owners allow the vendors to block their stores. The old neighborhood streets and sidewalks in most areas are filthy. Trash is all over the streets, chickens are tied to utility poles or street signs as well as dogs. Many of the old homes along the city's commercial streets may or may not have running water and a sewer system. Many people use the streets and sidewalks as their bathroom and even bath on the sidewalks. The infrastructure of the old neighborhoods is almost non-existent. There is poor drainage, poor sewer systems, and electric lines hang low to the ground with hundreds of wires attached carelessly to a single wimpy pole. I often wonder how trucks make it under these wires without hitting the wire. In many cases the bigger trucks do indeed hit the wires and knock out power to large section of the city.

The one thing that stood out for me as we past by all these areas in the taxi was the people all seemed happy. Despite, what I saw as great poverty and terrible living conditions, these people, or least many people were happy. Although, most of the people I saw were rushing down the sidewalks going about their daily routine. I thought these people are doing the same thing as other people do in any major city around the world. Yet, my first visit in Cebu City opened my eyes to the fact that at the very least, the city was poverty stricken or had a large population that lived in poverty.

After about 30 minutes riding in the taxi we came into a much nicer area of the city and there like an oasis in the middle of all the poverty was this beautiful Hotel and a large modern shopping mall next to it, as well as several large modern well maintain high rise buildings. The scene was a stark difference to the old areas of the city. This area could be found in any modern US city and looked very much like a commercial area of a US city. The area is called the Ayala Business Park and the Ayala Mall. This is modern Cebu City and it is everything you would find in any modern city.

Once at the Hotel, the Marriott, I checked into a very nice room and we all went to the dinning room for a pleasant lunch. Soon after that it was just Judith and I as her sister went home. Judith then took me across the park to the Ayala Mall, just a five minute walk and once inside the mall I was amazed. The stores were the same as in the US, Ace Hardware, Levi, MacDonald's and so on. Plus, several Philippine Department stores and many different types of restaurants and coffee shops. All the store clerks and sale people spoke English and most all the Filipinos walking through the stores were speaking English. Others used a mix of English and their native Cebuano. All the store signs are written in English and the restaurant menus are written in English. In many ways I felt as if I just traveled 20 plus hours from Florida to be in a US city.

Although there were many other foreigners in the mall many Filipinos walking by asked where I was from and in general everyone was very friendly to me. While at the mall I bought a few souvenir type things to take home and Judith and I just did a lot of window shopping. I was happy to see the prices of most things in the stores were very cheap compared to the US. At that time one US dollar bought 56.00 pesos. Today it's one dollar to about 44.00 Pesos. Still a good deal, but today I'm careful in my spending. By the middle of the afternoon I was ready for some sleep after my long flight to Cebu. Judith went home and I retired to my hotel room.

The next morning Judith was at the hotel bright and early and we had breakfast at the hotel and then off to see the city and some of the beach resorts. Cebu has wonderful and beautiful resorts and all very affordable. The resorts are all well maintained and modern. The biggest population of customers at the resorts are foreigners and the staff Filipino. I quickly change my opinion of the city from a poverty stricken third world to a modern commercial and tourist city with a few old areas that needed a lot of help.

During my trip to Cebu we went into the old area of Colon. Colon is the oldest street in the country and has several landmarks. However, Colon is a dirty area of very old and poorly maintained buildings. Prostitution is a major problem in the Colon area as is street crime. There are some wonderful markets and great bargains to be found in Colon, but not an area for the new tourist to wander alone. Hotels can be had for a really cheap price in Colon. Some just $20.00 a night, but these hotels cater to those picking up street girls and both the girls and the rooms are really dirty. Last year Judith and I stayed at two different Colon Hotels. We went into the city for our monthly shopping trip from Camotes Islands. We decided to try the hotels as they are cheap and close to many of the outside markets. I would never stay at either of these hotels again. The best words to describe them is old, filthy, rat infested and full of prostitutes. Both of these hotels seem to cater to single foreign men and any girls the men may find at the Colon bars or on the streets. The area has several little Bikini type bars with Bar Girls (Prostitutes) also called GRO's. Unless you are looking for a prostitute there is little reason to go to Colon after dark and even then one needs to be very careful. This is not intended to say that all of Colon is bad. There are some nice stores and restaurants in Colon. I enjoy shopping in the Colon area, but one needs to use caution in Colon.

During my first visit I saw most all the areas of Cebu City and felt safe at all times. Of course we didn't go into the old parts of the city after dark. Rather we were at the resorts or around Ayala Park and these are all very safe and enjoyable areas.I would recommend Cebu City to anyone that wants to go to a great resort and spend time on a beautiful beach, go diving, take a boat tour of the outer islands and not spend a lot of money. There is just so much to do in Cebu City and so many great things to see. Staying at any of the resorts is very affordable just about $60.00 per night and some as high as $250.00. Dinner at restaurants is also very cheap. Meals at nice restaurants can cost just $10.00 to $20.00 for two people, I had a wonderful time during my first visit. However, I had Judith as my tour guide and as my girlfriend. I'm not sure I would have liked Cebu City as much as I did if Judith wasn't with me during the first trip.

Soon after my first visit to Cebu City I moved from Florida to Cebu City in 2004. By this time Judith and I were engaged to marry and I wanted to live in Camotes Islands. However, we decided to live in the city while looking for land to build a house in Camotes. Camotes Islands are a rural province of Cebu and just two hours from the city by boat. We rented a brand new two bedroom house in the Lahug area of Cebu City. The monthly rent was just $125.00 plus our TV cable for about $15.00 a month. The house was located on a hillside overlooking the city and close to everything we needed. Lahug is a very nice area and now there are many new housing sub-divisions built in the area. Our monthly budget while living in Lahug was approximately $700.00 and that included the rent, utilities, food, taxi cabs and even lots of dinners at restaurants and entertainment. I assume if we still lived in Lahug the budget would be just a few more dollars a month.

Within just a couple of weeks after moving into the Lahug house I felt as if Cebu was my city and I really enjoyed the city life. The city has many things to offer the foreigner and the city is always trying to attract more foreign retirees. It truly is a foreign (expat) friendly city. The largest group of foreigners in Cebu is Korean then Americans, Australians, British and Japanese. There are no racial tensions or problems in the city that I am aware of and the city is very safe. However, like any major world city there is crime, but using common safeguards and precautions one can have a happy life in Cebu City. Driving in the city is something I have never attempted and I don't think I ever will drive in the city. The taxi cabs can get you almost anywhere in the city for $1.00 to $2.00 and that's fine for me.

Shopping in the city is great and there are products from all over the world in Filipino stores. Many food stores stock western brands so you will never get homesick for your favorite foods from home. The outside markets, located all over the city offer great bargains and it's always fun to negotiate prices with the vendors. Cable TV is available in the city and it offers many American shows and news programs. You can go to the movie cinemas and see a new release movie for about $1.00 and the popcorn is just a few pennies. The city has grown since I moved to the Philippines. There are many new gated housing Sub-Divisions that cater to foreign buyers, new high rise condo buildings and the resorts all continue to attract foreigners. The two major malls in the city, Ayala and SM are both expanding. Many of the roads have been upgraded as well as the infrastructure in many areas. The city is a major draw for tourism and is always attempting to bring in more tourist and more foreign retirees.

Any expat on a monthly pension of about $1,000.00 can live like a king in Cebu City. You can live on less than $1,000.00 but I think $1,000.00 is the right figure if you include saving a little each month for emergencies, trips back home and medical needs. The city has very good hospitals and medical cost are much less in the Philippines. Good dental care at very reasonable rates is also available in the Philippines. Many people go to Cebu for medical or dental vacations. Just remember, if you think you want to move to Cebu City do your homework. Do you want to live in a new country? do you want to be separated from your family and grandchildren?, if you are married how does your wife feel about living in Cebu? If you have young children do you want them to live in a new country and what about their education? Do you have the patience and understanding to learn and live in a new culture? Do you have the money to live a good life in Cebu without the need to find work? Do you have enough money to cover any type of emergency that may require five to ten thousand dollars? Finally, what is your reason for wanting to live in a new country? If you can be honest with yourself and have a positive answer for the above questions, then maybe Cebu City is for you?

Remember too, The Philippine economy is struggling. Filipinos with four and six year college degrees are driving taxi cabs or working as store clerks. Unemployment in the country is through the roof. Poverty is a major issue in the country. For all the beauty of the Philippines Poverty continues to destroy many Filipinos and their futures and creates an ugly face to an otherwise beautiful country. Just this week on November 8, 2007 an 11 year old girl in Manila living with her mother, father and little brother in a shanty town hung herself. The reason left in a note from the little girl was because of the poverty she and her family lived. The father not able to find work for months and the mother working for just $1.00 a day. The little girl had just the night before asked her father for P200.00 for a school project. The father did not have the money, just under $4.00. All the girl wanted was to finish school and buy a new bike. A simple dream complicated by severe poverty in a country struggling to overcome political corruption and theft. Please remember, what you may spend in just one day in the Philippines is what a Filipino may have to live on for a month. Poverty does indeed take lives.

I truly love my lifestyle in the Philippines, but it took some time, patience, understanding and a few sacrifices to live in the Philippines. I made several mistakes before coming here and a few since living here. I didn't have enough money when I came here in 2004. I've made a few trips back to Florida to do some contract work and then returned to my beloved Camotes Islands. I'm currently away from home on a teaching contract. However, for me, it's worth the price to have just a few months a year in my paradise called Camotes Islands, Cebu, Philippines. I think anyone looking for a great vacation will enjoy Cebu City. Those looking to retire on a modest pension can live well here, but just be sure living in a new country is right for you. Before making a decision to move here it's wise to come on a vacation first and see the city for yourself. Then you can decide if this is the life you want. Once again, for me this is paradise.

I was supposed to land in Ft. Lauderdale a full day before I did, and I expected to use that time locked in my hotel room rehearsing and revising my presentation. But record snow falls in Dallas and Atlanta caused my flights to be cancelled, rescheduled, and rerouted through other airlines, all amidst the threat that both airports might have to close. Consequently, I spent all my prep time flitting between gates and calling sponsors trying to secure another flight. I ended up getting in absurdly late, and missing sleep. Then I went before a hundred scientists trying to freely recite a 6000 word speech that I refused to just stand there and read, although there were a couple moments that I wish I had done that. :-P

Felony Friendly Jobs - Jobs That Don't Care About Your Record!

2011-12-30T22:06:00.001-08:00

One disadvantage of having been in prison is that by the time you get out, you will find yourself having a great deal of difficulty finding a job. Most employers are leery of hiring anyone with a criminal record, and even if you have turned over a new leaf after paying your debt to society, it doesn't change that bias towards people refusing to hire you once they find out about your past.

However, this isn't the time to despair. It doesn't mean the end of the world if you are unable to get employment immediately. There are still a lot of felony friendly jobs available if you only know where to look. Even if the unemployment rate continues to rise due to the present economic situation, there are legitimate and legal places where you can get hired immediately without having to be interviewed for the position.

If you have an email address and access to an Internet connection, you can have a job within minutes. These felony friendly jobs are known as "get paid to" jobs which will involve participating in various online marketing research surveys that pay people to give their opinions on various products or services, political or social atmospheres, TV programs or movies, and any number of other topics.

You get paid for every survey you participate in by as much as $10 for every 10 to 15 minute survey or questionnaire you complete. It's as easy as clicking boxes or filling in some questions fields, and you will be paid via check.

Making an honest living after life on the inside doesn't have to be so difficult, simply participate in "get paid to" programs online to earn money and start your life anew.

Monster Energy Drink Girls Get Paid to Party - Become a Monster Energy Drink Girl

2011-12-24T12:25:00.001-08:00

Monster Energy Drink girls get all the attention when they walk into a party or special event. They walk into a party with all the confidence in the world because they know they are going to have fun and they are making money to party.

The consumers are excited to see the monster energy girls because they know they are about to receive some promotional items and free product.

Monster Energy Drink girls must be seductive and great at alluring in their customers. They get most of their confidence from being around a crowd of people and knowing that these people are treating them like a celebrity.

Can you imagine how much confidence you would have after entering a party and everyone wanted to take pictures of you... well that's how it is for a monster energy drink girl.

I feel bad for all the pretty girls that I see in a bar that are not getting paid to party. Most of the promotions I have done, I get so many pretty girls asking me how they can become a promotional model.

The majority of girls that I have hired knew absolutely nothing about doing promotional work. They were just beautiful girls that approached me during a promotion and asked me how could they become models like my girls.

I would also get a bunch of guys approach me during the promotion begging me to hire their girlfriends or a girl they thought was hot. They wanted to be the guy that was dating or hanging out with a promo girl. The guys were also shocked to find out how much the girls made per hour...

They were so shocked that they asked me if they could be a promo guy.. sorry I do not hire guys.

Promotional modeling is a great way to make extra income doing part time work.

Most beverage promotional models make a couple of thousand a month and even more.

The girls get the opportunity to travel out of the country such as during spring break, they get to go to Cancun and other spring break destinations. a

My girls really have the greatest time when they get to hang out with celebrities during exclusive parties.

Some will tell me that the greatest part of being a beverage promotional model besides the money is the friends they get to meet and work with.

Being a promo girl is exciting and it allows you to build your confidence. What other job can you have that allows you to get paid to party?

In-flight Emergency; Electrical Failure in Cessna 172

2011-12-23T19:07:00.001-08:00

While on a flight from Naples, FL (KAPF) to Fort Lauderdale, FL (KFXE) I encountered my first in flight emergency. Just outside of the KFXE airspace, my aircraft experienced a complete elecrical failure due to a dead battery which was caused by a voltage regulator failure. The video starts with me on downwind in the traffic pattern with a view of my instruments. I had just received a solid green light gun signal from the tower. At the end of the video I receive flashing green light gun signals allowing me to taxi. I was very lucky considering I encountered this emergency in day VFR conditions. I am posting this video so others may learn from my experience. I also had some fun with Windows Movie Maker and added a little bit of music at the end. Enjoy and feel free to ask me any questions.

Drug Rehab - How to get State Funded Rehab

2011-12-22T14:30:00.001-08:00

There are thousands of state and federally funded treatment beds available across the nation, and most people in real financial distress will qualify for at least some degree of subsidized care. Some of the facilities offer very comprehensive services, access to great medical care and a very high standard of treatment.

Most programs are designed for people living in poverty, and are not well set up to meet the needs of the substantial numbers of people who do not live in poverty, but at the same time do not have good private health insurance and cannot afford to self finance a very expensive period of residence at a private rehab.

Additionally, due to great demand and limited availability, virtually all state funded treatment beds will maintain a long waiting list. When someone decides to get help for an addiction, therapists encourage that person to get help immediately, before they change their mind, or circumstances change. A long wait time is far from ideal, and derails the transient good intentions of far too many people suffering through addictions.

Still, because many of these facilities do offer quality care, and because this care may be accessed either free of charge or at very low cost, as a good initial step you should call your state health services agency to find out your options. It may not work out, but if a couple of hours of assessment and phone calls gets you into free treatment in a timely manner, your time will have been well spent.

What you need to do?

Call the phone number for your state social services office. These offices are for addictions help so they are ready to assist you in finding care. You will want to ask:

Are subsidized services offered for people with your income?

Where exactly you need to go?

What times each day are assessments done?

What documents you will need to bring?

Do you need to be sober for the assessment?

How long is the waiting list for residential care?

It may not work, you may not be eligible, and the waiting list for service may be unreasonably long; but before you pay for care you cannot afford, or before you give up in frustration on the whole exercise, you should take a few hours to find out whether or not the state can help.

If it works, it's the best available option.

Remember, you can get better, people do everyday, and you'll never regret anything you do that gets you there.

Things to Do on Your 18th Birthday - My 5 Top Tips

2011-12-21T01:37:00.001-08:00

If you're looking for some of the best things to do on your 18th birthday then you're in for a treat! I, unfortunately, am one of the unlucky ones who failed to plan their birthday which unfortunately led to a completely wasted 18th birthday that I would love to forget. However so you don't go through the same experience I went through, I decided to do some in-depth research on the area and found some of the most effective things to do on your 18th birthday. I'm going to share with you my top 5 tips to ensure an unforgettable 18th birthday experience.

Remember, it's the most important birthday of your teenage years and it only comes once in your life, so don't make the same mistake I did. Make It Count! So lets get straight into my 5 Top Tips for your 18th Birthday.

Top Tip #1: Doing Something is better than doing Nothing!

Know this may come to a bit of a shock to some of you but doing anything on your birthday is better than doing nothing at all. I really can't emphasis this enough. It is better to do something that you're fairly fond of, like going cinema or bowling on your 18th, then be stuck at home watching that "re-run" of "pets do the funniest things"!

Top Tip #2: The Secret to clubbing

Depending on where you live this is the most popular thing to do on your 18th birthday. However there are some tips and tricks that I have picked up that will assure you that you 1. Get into a club 2. Get your friends into the club 3. Get in free!

Now this won't work all the time but, from experience it does work some of the time and is worth at least trying. What you need to do is call every club that your thinking of going to and informing them that it is your birthday and you will be coming down with "X" amount of friends. Most of the club owners have certain provisions for birthdays including free entry or free tables or free birthday gifts as they know that a birthday means guest and guest mean money. The more inquiries the better results!

Top Tip #3: Why it's Crucial to have a Plan B

Did you know that this is where most 18 year olds get it wrong? They go out and don't have a backup plan! When plan A fails, this for most is where the party DIES. Don't be one of them! Have a backup venue that you can go to if your initial plan doesn't work. This can be anything from a restaurant to a cinema but just have one. It's better to do something that you don't really mind doing than nothing at all!

Top Tip #4: Themed Parties

This is my favourite. So you may not want to go out on your 18th birthday which means you can bring the party to you! Even if you rent out a hall this is the best idea to ensure a positive turnout and guarantee fun. A themed party can be anything from black and white dress code to your own personalized casino night filled with the red carpet and roulette tables as standard! It really depends on your budget and your imagination but this is by far the best way to ensure an unforgettable night in your control.

Top Tip #5: Why you should celebrate your 18th more than once!

This one is a peach! One of the main reasons that celebrating your 18th birthday can become a bit complex is that we try to cater our birthday plans around everyone: family, friends and partners. This is the BIGGEST MISTAKE you could make. It is so much better to celebrate Thursday night in a restaurant with the family, Friday night going to a cinema with your partner and Saturday night parting until dusk with friends. Obviously each category is flexible but remember the more people you try to please the less likely it is for you to be happy. Remember who's 18th birthday it is!

How Much Should I Charge For My Commercial Cleaning Services?

2011-12-19T21:17:00.001-08:00

You've bought all your cleaning supplies and equipment, told everyone you know that you have started a cleaning business and now you are ready to start bidding on jobs and getting down to work. So your next step is to meet with potential clients and put together a bid for their cleaning services. But how do you know what to charge for cleaning your potential client's building?

Start off by remembering that you are in business to make a profit and earn a living. Sometimes the tendency is to price our services low in order to get our foot in the door. Pricing your services too low may mean you will end up working for very little per hour. And more importantly, will have little left over to reinvest in the growth of your company. There are cleaning companies that charge more than others and have all the work they can handle and there are companies that have lower fees yet are struggling to find work! Don't sell yourself short or you will not be able to earn a living off your cleaning business.

The rates for commercial cleaning vary widely depending upon the area you live. Hourly rates are anywhere from $15 to $40 per hour depending on the type of services that you provide, whether or not you're doing the work yourself, and your company's overhead and expenses. Monthly square footage rates could run anywhere from $.05 to $.20 per square foot depending on the type of building you are cleaning and the frequency of cleaning. You'll be able to bid a higher square footage price for medical facilities versus office buildings due to more specialized cleaning needs. You'll likely bid a lower square footage price for large buildings versus small buildings. For example, you may bid $.08 per square foot for a 50,000 square foot building versus $.12 per square foot for an 8,000 square foot building.

You will most likely be charging your customers a monthly price and you will need to figure that price by estimating how long it will take to perform the services that your client has requested. The more productive you or your employees are, the higher the hourly production rate. If you're able to clean 3,500 square feet per hour, your profit will be higher than if you're only able to clean 2,500 square feet per hour, so adjust your price accordingly.

It's also a good idea to find out what the "going rates" are in your area. A few phone calls to competitors may be necessary to get an idea of the basic charges in your area. Use a script when you call so you can compare apples to apples. So what do you say when you call? Try something like, "Hi, I have a small business office that I would like cleaned once a week. It is 3000 square feet and has two small restrooms. Can you give me a rough estimate of what you what you charge per month?" The person may or may not give you an estimate. Most contractors will insist on walking through the building, but it is worth a few phone calls so you have a ballpark figure on what cleaning companies in the area are charging.

To estimate what you should charge for cleaning a building, start by doing a walk-through with the building owner or manager. Keep track of the following:

* Frequency of cleaning (once a week, three times a week, five times a week). If frequency is one or two times per week, it's best to estimate your time and multiply by your hourly rate. If cleaning 3 or more times per week you can estimate your time by the square foot.

* Overall square feet

* Types of floor surfaces and square footage of each (carpet, vinyl flooring, ceramic tile)

* Types of rooms - general office, break room, restrooms. Also note the number of toilets/stalls and fixtures in each restroom, as well as the types of restroom supplies used.

* Any special considerations - heavy traffic areas, elevators, unusual requests, etc.

* Make note of the specific services the client is seeking such as emptying trash, dusting, restroom cleaning, mopping and vacuuming.

The following services are specialized services and you should bid them separately, and list a per-service charge on your bid:

* Stripping and Waxing (.25¢ - .50¢ per square foot)

* Buffing/Burnishing (.03¢ - .07¢ per square foot)

* Machine Cleaning of Ceramic Tile floors (.12¢ - .21¢ per square foot)

* Carpet Cleaning (.12¢ - .25¢ per square foot)

* Carpet Spotting ($20 - $40 per hour)

* Cleaning appliances (microwave, refrigerator) - $10 - $35 per appliance

* Window Washing ($1.00 - $5.00 per pane)

Make sure you take enough notes so you can put together a realistic price that is fair to the client and one in which you will make a profit. After your first meeting with the client, go back to your office look through your notes and decide what it will cost you to clean the building. You may have to consult a production cleaning rate chart to determine how long it will take you and your staff to clean the building. Once you have an idea of how long it will take to clean the building you can put your cost estimate together:

* Estimate the time it will take by using a production cleaning rate chart or calculator.

* Determine your labor cost for cleaning the building one time.

* Determine your monthly labor cost to clean the building.

* Estimate a monthly cost for supplies. This will be a fairly low figure, perhaps 1 or 2% of monthly sales.

* Be sure to add in a profit margin!

Add up the figures and you will come up with your monthly cost. If you have access to a bidding calculator you will be able to put in a series of numbers and come up with a price. A bidding calculator will also show what profit you can expect to make. It is also advisable to add a first time cleaning charge. This is usually an hourly rate of perhaps $20 - $25 an hour. The first time you go through a building it will take longer and you may find the previous cleaning service may have left dirt in cracks and crevices that you will have to clean the first time through.

Once you have your price established, put your bid packet together. Your bid packet should specify what you are responsible for and what the client is responsible for (buying their own trash can liners, restrooms supplies, etc.). It should also include the monthly charge for cleaning services, how long the agreement is for, and the procedure to cancel the contract if either party is unhappy.

It is important to learn how to price your cleaning services so your customers know you are providing a professional service at a realistic price and so that you make a profit. After all, if you do not make a profit you won't stay in business very long!

Medicare & Medicaid Doctor Directory - How to Find Doctors Who Accept Medicare and Medicaid

2011-12-19T01:20:00.001-08:00

If you are receiving Medicare and/or Medicaid, it can often be difficult to find a doctor, be it a general practitioner or specialist, who will accept your insurance. Unfortunately the payment schedules set up by the government have resulted in many doctors opting out of the system because they simply cannot afford the substantially lower payments for Medicaid/Medicare services as well as afford to pay for the substantially greater paperwork involved in taking such patients.

Sadly, government has had a tendency to reduce reimbursement payments, not increase them, and do not seem to be interested in covering the actual cost of providing services.

Not only that, but private insurers are not longer willing to "subsidize" public patients by paying higher rates, so doctors cannot shift the ever-increasing costs to them.

As a result, at a time when more and more doctors are opting out of the system, those doctors who still take Medicare and Medicaid patients generally limit the number they will serve, so finding a doctor who will take your Medicare or Medicaid insurance is not as easy as simply opening the phone book and making a phone call. Indeed, it probably will take some real time and effort on your part.

There is not, and never has been, any requirement that doctors treat patients insured by Medicare or Medicaid. Therefore, people with Medicare or Medicaid are increasingly turning to federally funded clinics, or even to emergency rooms that cannot, by law, turn them away. Sadly, using emergency rooms for non-emergency health care is unbelievably expensive, making the lower reimbursement Medicare/Medicaid rates not financially wise in the long run.

So, how do you find a doctor that will take new Medicare/Medicaid patients?

Well, first of all, do not expect to find a doctor or, should you find one or a clinic taking Medicare/Medicaid patients, do not plan on getting an appointment quickly. Sadly, that will not happen very often. Indeed, if you need quick care, the emergency room is likely to be your only recourse.

To track down Medicare/Medicaid providers, you can contact your local health department or social service agencies to find out more information and there are a number of Medicare and Medicaid doctor directories online. While they cannot guarantee you an appointment, they do have access to information about current providers.

You can also go to the Medicare website at Medicare.gov or call them at 800-633-4227 (TTY 877-486-2048) to find Medicare providers in your area, although there is no guarantee they will be accepting new patients. It is worth a try, though.

Also, managed care is probably a better bet than private practice. HMOs organized by private insurers have a practical interest in having HMO doctors taking government-insured patients, while Prepaid Health Plans (PHPs) are generally run by hospitals or medical schools, and often only accept Medicaid patients.

Living in a Miami Condo

2011-12-16T13:55:00.001-08:00

A main problem about the policies in a Miami condo unit is having pets. If you want to keep a pet it's practical that you inquire about the condo's policies about pets.

Miami condo's may or may not allow pets because of some certain conditions like the other living in the condo have allergies on pets. And if you are allowed to keep your pets inside your condo unit you should observe the proper rules for pets like your pet should be friendly and behaved or else some of the condo owners will complain about the loud barking of your pet.

As a regulation the pet should be carried during walking in the lobby and if the size of your pet unable you to carry it you must find an alternative in carrying your pet. Also, cleaning the messes your pet makes should be your responsibility and for some Miami condos they will charge the pet owner for the cleaning the concierge will do to the pet's droppings. Also when waiting in the lobby if your pet is a dog it should be restrained so that it will not disturb any customers,

When the owner is not present in the condo unit, no pet must be left outside on the terrace or be allowed to roam around or else the other condo owners will probably complain to the management about the matter which can be quite troublesome. In some Miami condo's their walls are sound proofed so that the noise that the pets will make will not be heard by other condo owners, especially dogs which can be quite noisy at night. Make sure that your pet doesn't damage any condo property to avoid extra charges

If you're looking for a good Miami condo, take your time and think about the factors like will it be far from your work? Will there be other transportation methods if you don't have a car? Will you be alone or will your family be with you?

Living in a Miami condo unit has become quite popular for people who don't have time to maintain their house or their lawn. Also, keep in mind when picking a Miami condo, you should choose a building that suits your economic standards you might now want to pick the most expensive condo or get annoyed each time the water line or electricity gets cut because you picked a cheap condo.

In summary living in a Miami condo can be fun and easy with or without a pet, and just by observing the rules of the condo you live in will make it easy for you to be known by other condo owners and possibly even make some friends on the process.

Medical Malpractice Causing Threat For The Civilization

2011-12-13T18:47:00.001-08:00

Personal injuries occur every day, in a wide range of situations, from vehicle accidents to injuries sustained playing sports, to a simple tripping in the street. These injuries can be upsetting and expensive, involving costs such as hospital and doctors fees, but more importantly they often involve a compromising of the patient's usual quality of life. This important factor is taken into consideration when making personal injury settlements with the help of Florida Attorneys, helping you to bear any costs you might encounter in getting back to normal. The main causes for which the personal injuries may happen are:-

Vehicle accidents -

One of the most common cause of injuries which happens as an outcome of a vehicle mishap; includes cars, motorcycles, trucks, buses, boats among others. These accidents attribute to the affliction of the drivers, passengers and even pedestrians. In the state of Florida the Florida Accident lawyers have the full expertise to precede with the litigation of accidents related injuries.

Slip and fall -

These instances may greatly happen in establishments such as malls, offices, schools and even hospitals to name some.

Medical malpractice -

Medical practitioners such as physicians, dentists, nurses, midwifes and other individuals who bestow us medical attention have the responsibility of ensuring our health. But due to some neglectful acts, they tend to detach from the accepted standards of performing their jobs. As a result, their patient's health conditions even worsen or sometimes even cause fatalities.

When faced with a problem that you think it needs legal attention, you may wish to consult with a Florida Malpractice lawyer about the legal rights and responsibilities as soon as possible. Many states of US along with Florida have deadlines for filing lawsuits especially for personal injuries. These so called "statute of limitations" laws are designed to encourage people to promptly come forward and present their case.

It is best to contact an injury lawyer as soon after the occurrence of the accident or negligence as possible - this will help protect the rights, and get moving quickly on establishing what exactly your rights and entitlements are. Like any area of the law, personal injury can be confusing to the lay person, so it is best to contact an experienced Florida personal injury lawyer before you proceed any further with the matter, so that you can fully understand the best course of action. There are also some time constraints involved in certain personal injury situations, so time is of the essence.

As the majority of injury-causing accidents are linked to negligence, it is much necessary to exercise our daily activities with much care and cautiousness to keep away from injuries which may cause us a great deal of suffering and hardships.

Don't pay until you win your case. Florida Lawyers [http://www.booneanddavis.com/auto-accidents.php] guarantee offering for over 25 years.

The Domino Effect On The Real Estate Market

2011-12-11T15:32:00.001-08:00

I don`t know about you but each day I like to check the MLS to see how the homes in my area are doing. I look at housing prices like a stockbroker looks at stock exchange each day, only they have the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg news to use as a guideline, we in Real Estate don`t.

Stock Brokers use graphs and charts to form opinions whether the market will rise or fall. They see a pattern and give it terms such as "Cup and Handle" what that means is they see the market dip and surge in a formation.

That being mentioned during the course of the past 10 months, I`ve watched what we call "The Domino Effect" take place in the Real Estate market.

We`re starting to notice homes that were priced significantly higher finally see that there are no buyers at this level and suddenly they`re adjusting their home prices!

In Miramar, Florida for example I`ve been carefully observing one area in particular called Silver Lakes. This area is worth mentioning because for several months the Realtors who farm this area continued to tell their clients that "Lowering Prices" isn`t an option, they felt that by telling the sellers to keep they`re homes at a higher level will keep the sanctity of the neighborhood.It`s the "Old School" mentality.It`s not working and the sellers are realizing that!

Many of these Realtors have seen their listings expire and in some cases the sellers are on their 2ND,3RD or 4TH Real Estate company.

The Domino Effect is in "Full Swing".
Here are some examples as to what`s transpired in this neighborhood.

1-18072 SW 29TH LN.Miramar Florida. This is a 4bed,2ba,2CG. Home has been listed on the market since 10/17/2006.The original "List Price" had been $424,900. Today this home is listed at $395,000.

2- 18128 SW 24TH ST. Miramar Florida.This is a 4bed,2.5ba,3CG. Home has been on the market since 11/10/2006.The original "List Price" had been $639,000. Today this home is listed at $549,900.

3-2108 SW 176TH TE.Miramar,Florida.This is a 4bed,3ba,2CG. Home has been on the market since 09/08/2006. The original "List Price" had been $573,000. Today this home is listed for $490,000.

4-3555 SW 174TH DR.Miramar,Florida.This is a 5bed,3ba,3CG. Home has been on the market since07/03/2006.The original "List Price" had been $775,000. Today this home is listed for $664,900.

5-3545 SW 174TH DR.Miramar,Florida.This is a 5bed,4ba,3CG. Home has been on the market since 05/04/2006.The original "List price" had been $799,999. Today this home is listed for $689,000.

The examples above demonstrate that the market is slowly diverging itself from being at a level where the Actual Sales Price was too high for the neighborhood.

Some of these homes have been on the market much longer than they should be which indicates that the sellers still need to readjust their sales prices in order to compete.

That doesn`t necessarily mean that their not "Great Homes' it simply means that like the game of Domino's something eventually has to give in order to get them sold.

What You Need to Know About Florida Long Term Care Insurance

2011-12-08T15:51:00.001-08:00

With the array of Long Term Care resources available on the net today, majority is probably aware of the ins and outs of this policy - its scope, limitations and premium costs. However, does everyone know that just like cultures and dialects, LTC varies in every state? The cost of Florida Long Term Care Insurance is different from that of New York or another state. Laws governing health care varies as well and it is the responsibility of the residents of a certain state to be aware of these laws.

What then do residents from Florida need to know about the status of LTC policies in their state? How does it differ from other states, especially in terms of cost? Are there enough good nursing facilities available?

In a study by Genworth, the cost of Florida Long Term Care Insurance is rising faster than inflation. An average yearly amount of USD $82,125 goes to private nursing homes while semi-private homes costs about USD $74,825. The high-end nursing homes, on the other hand, are worth USD $313 and USD $247 daily at the metro areas of Naples and West Palm Beach. Naples, being the most expensive area in Florida for assisted living facilities, costs USD $4,600 monthly.
And do you know that the price of private rooms in nursing homes in Florida's four largest regions has risen significantly? Compared to the 2.3% rise in the core CPI in 2005, the following figures appeared for the four regions:

-5% increase in Jacksonville
-4% increase in Tampa - St. Petersburg
-3% increase in Miami-Fort Lauderdale
-3% increase in Orlando

Because of this ever-increasing cost, most residents of this state turn to private LTCi. This is to secure their assets and their families' future.

There are top and trusted insurance companies who are participating in the State Long-Term Care Insurance Partnership Program. This alliance between private LTC companies and the state government is formed to lessen reliance on Medicaid as a source for a person's long term health care needs. This is a good solution that will be beneficial to consumers. If before, one has to use up all their assets before they are eligible for Medicaid, now the case is different. They can instead apply for state long term care partnership programs to assist them. This tie-up also helps the government in saving Long Term Care expenditures which totals to almost one billion dollars yearly.

How then does this partnership work in the state of Florida?

The process is the same with other states that are part of the agreement. Good thing Florida is one of the states that offer partnership policies. Medicaid and private insurance companies tie up to fund Florida Long Term Care Insurance to provide with LTC plans. This partnership also allows individuals to have more chances of qualifying for Medicaid benefits. One great feature of this partnership is the dollar-for-dollar asset protection which allows an insured individual to keep a dollar of his assets for every dollar that his partnership policy pays out in benefits.

There are lots of advantages that you can reap from having a long term care plan as early as possible before any signs of disability or illness appears. Visit our website for more tips and advice on preparing for long term care.

Florida Named Weirdest State In America

2011-12-08T03:09:00.001-08:00

www.npr.org This year, Floridians learned that burials at sea don't work if the body doesn't sink, giant snail mucus can make you sick and that an underwire bra can stop a lawyer from visiting her client in prison. Florida lived up to its reputation for being an odd state in 2010, with residents committing stupid crimes, making poor decisions and exhibiting general weirdness. There was the man pulled over in Manatee County who claimed the crack in his crack wasn't his. Officers found bags of marijuana and crack cocaine stuffed between the man's butt cheeks. He said the pot was his but "the white stuff is not mine." That was far from the only weird case handled by police. A 32-year-old Pasco County man called 911 to complain his mother took his beer, while police in Deland said a man walked out of a bar and head-butted a street preacher who called him a sinner. A Pasco County man was charged with slashing his father with a knife during an argument over who would walk the dog. There were other strange dog stories. A man was walking his Jack Russell terrier in Tampa when an alligator snatched it. He pulled out his handgun and started shooting at the gator. It let go of the dog, but the pet wasn't breathing until the man performed CPR and revived it. Dogs weren't always the victim. A Hernando County man was run over by his own pickup truck after his dog jumped into the running vehicle and put it in gear. Threatening items that bomb squads had to handle this year included a ...

Moving Forward With Fort Lauderdale Real Estate

2011-12-06T07:53:00.001-08:00

As far as the best real estate location in Florida, I think that Fort Lauderdale is in the same class as Miami and Orlando when it comes to real estate market, what separates them from the other big names is that they are in rather low-profile status. But although they are not as well-known as the latter Fort Lauderdale is still considered as one of the best spots in Florida to invest real estate with. Well for one they offer the same views for beaches and waterfront properties, same weather and all, so I think Fort Lauderdale is hitting the good spots in Real Estate marketing. I like what the market is having right now. They are in a good state and personally even though the market in general is not looking good the idea of Fort Lauderdale has potential to at least be in the same lines as the other high rated cities in the state.

For some odd years, Fort Lauderdale's real estate development has shown significant progress, having built some nice condos and great residential homes. It just shows that the city is not afraid to step their game and pushes for progress. One of the best ways to make an investment in the city is to have a first hand look at its resources, its exquisite scenery, top of the line beaches great weather and great people offers you the best possible way to live in the area. The highly touted struggles of the market in the recent years have been documented and it's a shame that Fort Lauderdale being affected, well every city in the state seems to be affected. It's no question how much improvement the city can do because their ceiling very high and the market's rebound situation is opening up for them. Numbers shows that they are doing quite well in progressing.

People are choosing Fort Lauderdale as a good spot to invest homes with, although moving slowly they are still confident that they will witness good progress when the time comes. Point made that Fort Lauderdale and other cities within its county are doing everything to change the pace of their real estate market thus giving way for more improvement in the future. It is not a secret that Fort Lauderdale has been known to standout even thought they are not in the lighter side of the limelight. I think with patience and creativity the market of the region will move significantly not overnight or all of sudden but in time. It is believed that numbers are telling the people that it is on a down pace but I think with a few more good runs they will be in good stage.

So, if other cities in the state are suffering form the highly-publicized drought, Fort Lauderdale real estate market should not be affected because if anything else they have confidence on their market and they know very well what they can do to improve and move out of the dug out. They are a premier tourist hot spot, veterans who retires chooses the cozy and relaxing ambiance of the place and I think as we move on we will see progress, it is not really impossible thus it is something we can all feast our eyes in when it gets a bit hot in the market. Fort Lauderdale real estate market will soon rise and will prove the doubters wrong.

High Protein Diet - The Secret of Bodybuilders For Ripped Abs

2011-12-05T17:05:00.001-08:00

Since the 1950's bodybuilders have been using high protein diets in their quest for leanness and greater muscle definition. Steve Reeves followed a high protein/low carb diet before his Mr. America win. In the 1960's Mr. Olympia Sergio Oliva would change his diet from high protein/high carb in the off season to a high protein/low carb precontest, to dial in his definition in his three Mr. Olympia victories. Arnold Schwarzenegger was famous for his very high protein/low carb precontest diet in his seven Mr. Olympia victories.

Frank Zane brought to the sport of bodybuilding an anatomy chart level of definition and achieved it using a zero carb/high protein diet. Athletes, actors and actresses have been using increased protein/low carb diets for weight control and weight loss for the last fifty years. The question is why this methodology has been effective for so many, for so long. A hi protein/low carb diet allows a person to minimize hunger while reducing calories. This is the premise behind the famous Atkins diet. These type diets allow the dieter to eat plenty of satisfying food while still losing weight. Take a look at the eating plan I recently used to lose 35 lbs in two months.

Meal 1, 6 eggs with cheese. Meal 2, 1 chicken breast and a large salad. Meal 3, 8 oz hamburger in a spinach wrap. Meal 4, 10 oz broiled fish and steamed veggies. Meal 5, Muscle Milk protein supplement. Meal 6, 12 oz broiled tilapia and steamed veggies. By anybody's rating I ate plenty of food yet I was not hungry and I lost a good deal of weight. A recent study by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition demonstrated that people lost weight and did not feel excessive hunger on an elevated protein diet. The proponents of this study determined that that a high protein diet created a greater degree of appetite satiation than did either a high carb or high fat diet. Lose weight without feeling hungry, is this the Holy Grail of weight loss? Another benefit of a high protein diet is that even in its low carb version, the body is supplied with everything it needs to rebuild and repair muscle tissue. In many cases the increased protein/ low carb dieter can actually gain muscle mass while losing bodyfat.

What does this mean for people trying to improve their bodies? This means with a little discipline and organization an individual can lose weight without starving and without getting weak and feeble. We all know as a nation, we collectively need to lose weight. I call on our leaders to do their part and direct the masses in embracing more protein/lower carb lifestyle eating.

Orlando Vacation - What You Should Know About Orlando Vacations

2011-11-30T00:33:00.001-08:00

You are probably aware that Orlando vacations revolve around theme parks, but this beautiful city has much more to offer the visitor than just thrilling rides. Orlando Town is also your destination for museums, galleries, historical places, edifices, flea markets, churches and much more. Florida in general has a long history of attracting tourists and this is the busiest city with more and more people visiting each year in a place that will satisfy even the most demanding of individuals.

If you enjoy shopping then you will love Orlando; it has plenty of malls and stores like Outdoor World which is so large it contains a 17,000 gallon aquarium and you could spend all day there. More than 35-million people each year come to enjoy a vacation in Orlando at the many attractions and events that make it a great place to visit. The Central Florida Zoo for instance only opened back in 1975 and was owned by the Sanford Fire Department prior to that but is now the home to over four hundred animals. The Central Florida Zoological Park and Botanical Gardens is dedicated to preserving the beauty and wonder of animals including their habitats.

Then there are the works of Louis Tiffany whose famous collection is housed here in the Morse Museum of American Art. For aficionados of Tiffany art, this is the place to visit with the largest display anywhere in the world, including jewelry, paintings, glass, pottery and ornaments. No adult, despite any thoughts to the opposite, could go to Orlando and find nothing of interest as the range of attractions for both the young and old is huge. The choice of evening entertainment for vacations in Orlando is as diverse as the range of activities available during daylight hours with themed shows to Disney's Pleasure Island or City walk at Universal.

Another popular attraction is the Orlando Science Center and is in fact one of the largest buildings of its type allowing the visitor access to ten huge exhibition halls. If your preference is in railways then the International Trolley and Train Museum on International drive will be a pleasant surprise with 14 trains running continuously and three waterfalls in a space of about 4,000 square feet. For something a little different there's the Titanic Exhibition which tells the story of the ill fated Ocean Liner performed by a character from the ship; the displays contain some original salvaged items and at times the tour is very moving.

A quieter more relaxing time can be found within the grounds of Lake Eola Park where you can enjoy over forty three acres of wonderful parkland which includes a boating lake for the more energetic. Not all theme parks in Orlando are based purely on rides as the fantastic Seaworld will attest but if you want rides then you have the Disney resort theme parks and Universal studios too. To make the most of your Orlando vacation try to visit outside of traditional holiday periods if you want to avoid the crowds.

How to Find a Home in Orlando for Rental During Vacation

2011-11-29T12:14:00.001-08:00

Orlando is a beautiful city to visit at any time of the year. And because there are hundreds of things to do in Orlando, a weekend vacation is simply not enough. If you want your vacation in this city to be meaningful even in the smallest sense, consider staying a week at the very least. And to save on money, consider procuring a home rental instead of having to pay the expensive daily rates of hotels.

Home Rental vs. Hotel Stay in Orlando

LOCATION - If you live living close to where all the action is, hotels are usually strategically located downtown but it's possible for you to find homes in the city proper as well. If, however, you're after a suburban lifestyle during your Orlando vacation, a home rental would be more appropriate than staying in a hotel.

COSTS - If you are going to stay for a week or longer in Orlando, you'll find accommodation costs to be more affordable by renting a home. Also, there are lots of costs inclusive in hotel rates while home rentals generally charge you for the cost of the place itself alone. Also, landlords of Orlando home rentals will rarely ask you to limit the number of people living in their property, but the same can't be said for hotel management.

COMFORT - If you're going to rent a home in an exclusive residential community in Orlando, it's possible for you to enjoy all the amenities and more that you can expect from a hotel. Of course, expecting 24-hour room service might be too much.

Tips on Finding a Home in Orlando for Rental during Vacation

During your Orlando vacation, you'll no doubt encounter various types of home rentals so lack of choice definitely won't be a problem. Orlando home rentals can generally be divided into the following broad categories:

Estates and Mansions - You can rent out a mansion and live like royalty in Orlando for a week. Most of these home rentals will provide you with a range of luxurious amenities that will rival those being offered in hotels. Better yet, you can enjoy all of these in utmost privacy.

Resort Home Rentals - Orlando resorts also offer home rentals to family vacationers wishing to enjoy fun in public places. These resorts generally provide guests entertainment outlets such as restaurants, clubhouse, arcades, sports and fitness facilities, and of course pools and other water activities. This is also a good option for people traveling with several families and who wish to reside in one community or common area.

Condominium and Townhouse Rentals - If residing in a place that reminds you of home is what it would take to make you enjoy your Orlando vacation, then you need not worry because this city also offers condominium and townhouse rentals at affordable rates.

Consider the following factors to further narrow the field:
SIZE OR SPACE - Just how much space do you need or desire? Living in a cramped room in a hotel or a rented apartment might cause you to lose some of your enthusiasm for your Orlando vacation.

LOCATION - Try looking for a home that's located as closely as possible to the majority of tourist attractions that you're planning to visit.

FEATURES - How many bedrooms does it have? Is its dining room separate from the kitchen? Does the home rental have a pool? What about a garden? How many car slots do you need in a garage? How many bathrooms are there?

SERVICES - What kind of services do you believe you can't live without? Do you wish for 24-hour security? Are you after round the clock room service? How about the laundry and the cooking? Are you willing to do these chores or would living in a hassle-free hotel environment better for you?

Once you've decided on a particular home rental, make sure that you pay a visit prior to your vacation or have photos of the home rental sent to you. Negotiate diligently with your agent and imply that you have other options to consider. Review the home rental contract provided and don't hesitate to ask questions if you find any of the stipulations confusing. Ask about reservation and payment requirements.

And lastly, if you're truly sure about your choice then what's else is there to do but to sign the check?

Enjoy a Night Out at a 1930's Style Dinner Show in Orlando

2011-11-27T21:03:00.001-08:00

If you are in Orlando and looking for an Italian restaurant with a difference, then a night out at Capone's Dinner and Show is certain to meet your expectations and more.

Advertised as a "blast from the past" this is a theater restaurant that harks back to 1930's gangland Chicago. Each night there is a musical comedy revue with actors garbed in period style costumes. After a successful 15 year run, a new show is currently on offer.

The waiters are part of the show and stay in character throughout the whole evening, sporting gangster names, and speaking in gangster slang. There is also a lot of audience participation in the show. In fact, you can't enter without giving a secret password, just like in the speakeasy bars of the 1930s.

But there is more than music and laughs at Capone's. While you are watching the show you are treated to a full meal. The menu features an Italian food buffet as well as some standard American dishes, and you can eat as much as you like. Included with the meal are unlimited draft beer, soda and alcoholic drinks.

In addition to your normal family night out, Capone's also has special offers. If you have a group of 15 or more you can take advantage of special group rates. The restaurant is also a good venue to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and engagements. In fact the restaurant encourages making wedding proposals there promising that "it will make your engagement night a night she will never forget."

Here is the basic information about Capone's Dinner and Show: It is located at Kissimmee-St. Cloud/Osceola County , 4740 West US 192 Kissimmee, FL 34746, and you can call them at these numbers: 407-397-2378 and 800-220-8420. The daily show starts at 7:30 pm

On Thanksgiving Day there is a special meal and from Thanksgiving to Christmas there is a Christmas Show. On New Year's Eve there are two shows, an early bird special and a later show which features a champagne toast at midnight.

So, if you want to have some fun while vacationing in Orlando, visit Capone's and whisper quietly to the guard at the door, "Mark sent me!"

Treating a Stroke

2011-11-18T14:41:00.001-08:00

It can be difficult to understand how a physician might go about treating such a catastrophic event as a stroke. However, using modern techniques, healthcare professionals can recognize the signs of a stroke, identify the major contributing problems, and address these issues with specifically targeted treatment approaches. In this way, a properly executed treatment plan can provide stroke victims with an opportunity to stop further brain damage and begin the healing and therapy process.

There are different treatment methods to address the two main types of stroke. For strokes caused by a clot, thrombolysis is a pharmaceutical treatment that breaks down the clot affecting the brain, giving the patient a chance to recover from the lost flow of blood. This treatment method has become particularly popular due to its effectiveness and pharmaceutical approach. However, there are complications involved, which may be especially triggered if a patient requires thrombolysis multiple times.

Another major treatment option for those suffering a stroke caused by a brain clot is the use of stenting and angioplasty. Similar to the procedure used to repair the heart during severely damaging cardiac events, stenting in the brain has been proven to be a viable option and effective procedure for restoring blood flow back into the brain.

In order to combat a hemorrhagic stroke, which may actually be worsened through treatment options associated with clot-based, or ischemic, strokes, physicians generally must take a surgical approach. Without being able to determine and repair the source of the bleeding into the brain, there are not many possible treatment programs available to successfully fight the blood loss caused by these strokes.

Knowing and understanding proper treatment methods is an integral part of placing a patient in a position to fully recover after any necessary therapy. A failure to do so may not be the result of chance, but may have been caused by a negligent physician.

If you have been treated improperly after suffering a stroke, contact the Fort Lauderdale personal injury attorneys of the Salpeter Gitkin Law Firm today.
