Electrolysis with Lidocaine Resulted in Swelling
Doctor Answers 1
Swelling after electrolysis
Even though electrolysis or laser hair removal is considered minimally invasive, post-procedure swelling is possible. This is particularly true in areas of significant blood supply like the lips which tend to swell after any intervention. Hopefully the swelling resolved quickly. Now if your only response was swelling, then I do not think you are having a specific allergy or reaction to lidocaine, but rather just a response to treatment near the lips.

"Cops wanna knock me, D.A. wanna box me in. But somehow, I beat them charges like Rocky." - Jay-Z
The Law Firm
I did miss the first episode on Thursday night, but it looks like Bravo (aka the NBC rerun network) will be showing it again almost every day this week. So, I will get to see it.
And then I'll decide what I think and whether I want to recap it. I'm not sure that I'll like it. First, I don't really like The Apprentice, and I'm afraid that it will be like The Apprentice for Lawyers. And, also, I know this is going to sound bad, and I'm sorry, but I don't really like lawyers. No, seriously. Well, I like criminal defense lawyers, of course. But I feel like we're a whole different breed of lawyer. And I guess I probably like most public interest lawyers in general. And I have a few friends that are lawyers, and I like them as friends but I probably wouldn't want to watch a TV show about their work. For example, people who could spend all day with people who are quibbling about what they get to keep in the divorce? Not to knock divorce lawyers, but that holds no interest for me. That's not "the law." I mean, when was the last time the Supreme Court reviewed a divorce case? Never. Know why? Because even they appreciate that there are just no interesting issues there. Same goes with contracts disputes. And slip and falls. And even most car accidents.
(Unless, of course, drunk driving was a suspected cause. Then it gets interesting.)
I'll give you another example. A year or two ago, I went to a thing (let's just leave it at "a thing") where there were a lot of young lawyers. It didn't take me long to realize that they were all probably horrible people. Or, even if they were alright people, they were certainly not people I'd want to be friends with. They were all bragging about their billable hours and using their cell phones to call and shout at their paralegals. Yick. I looked around and tried to find another criminal defense lawyer - or even a prosecutor, at least we'd be in the same tax bracket and have something in common to talk about - but there were none there. In the end, I felt pretty ashamed of our crappy profession and just, well, embarassed for these young people who were so young and already so arrogant. They were so arrogant and they had probably never even met one single client of their firm, because they probably spend all day doing document review or something, let alone help someone. It was sad.
Anyway, what was I talking about? Oh, The Law Firm. Ok, I'm not saying I have to like a show to recap it. Because, it was weird, I sort of liked Beauty & The Geek, but it was also sort of the It's-terrible-but-I-can't-look-away-phenomenon, like driving past a car wreck. But, there's a difference between that and just downright annoyance.
Point is, I'll watch an episode of The Law Firm, but I can't promise anything more than that. Good? Good.

I totally agree with the general dislike of lawyers. I did catch most of the first episode of the Law Firm. I figure I will give it another week before I ditch it, because the first episode wasn't great, but wasn't awful. On the plus side there are at least two PDs in the group and I was already rooting for them of course.ReplyDelete

Stanton v. Stanton, 421 U.S. 7 (1975). The federal question was whether Utah's law requiring child support payments for male children through age 21 and female children through age 18 was violative of the Equal Protection Clause.ReplyDelete
It was.
Honestly, while that is a divorce case, it's more of a con law question too... and either way, it was decided BEFORE I WAS BORN. So, um, yeah... =)ReplyDelete
Well put! As a 3L destined for criminal defense -- and, of course, surrounded at school by a great number of people headed for a far different type of career -- it's refreshing to hear your take on lawyers and the law.ReplyDelete
My take is that Biglaw people by in large tend to either be big jerks, or self-loathing people who somehow try to justify what they're doing or imagine they're above the fray (i.e., the blogger "Opinionista", if you've ever read her).
Well, I tried to watch it tonight on Tivo, and then I got about 10 minutes into it when the boyfriend walked in and said, "Oh, you're watching that? I thought you were going to wait for me!" So, then I turned it off and didn't get to watch it.ReplyDelete
But I'm going to watch it, and then read Ditzy Genius's recap, and then let y'all know what I think, if I have anything worthwhile to add.
(And I've never read Opinionista - and I couldn't tell whether this was an endorsement and I should check it out, or the opposite and something that will just annoy me?)
"Opinionistas" (Google it and you'll find the link to the blog) is written by a Ivy League law graduate (as she repeatedly reminds the world) who works in NYC Biglaw. While she recites the litany of typical anecdotes about such firms with a fair amount of humor, there's also a thick streak of self-loathing that she attempts to pass off as self-awareness. It's a compelling train wreck of a read, I suppose.ReplyDelete
Will it annoy you? Hmm . . . I think maybe it will make you happy . . . to be a PD. And to be somebody who can look at herself in the mirror and not wince.

I'll keep that limitation in mind if you ever happen to suggest that illegally-obtained evidence should be excluded, since presumably Mapp was decided before you were born too...
No, no, I'm not trying to say that cases that were decided before I was born don't have merit or shouldn't be followed. I even think that this case, Stanton v. Stanton, as you cited it, is a good case that should be followed.ReplyDelete
I just think that one of the things I like about criminal law is how dynamic it is, how there's always something to learn because the law is always changing or being clarified. I could be wrong, but I don't think it's the same in some other areas of law.
But you probably knew that's what I meant. =)

LITTLE Farnborough Town has become embroiled in a row with Sky television as it prepares for the biggest tie in its history - an FA Cup clash against mighty Arsenal.
The satellite channel has warned it will screen the match with last season's double winners on January 25 only if it is played at the minnow's Cherrywood Road ground.
Sky believes there would be a chance of Farnborough becoming giant killers on their own pitch, whereas the match would be too one-sided on the Londoners' ground.
But it seems certain that the Hampshire club will be forced to switch the fourth round tie to Highbury because of safety considerations.
The club, which almost went out of existence several years ago because of crippling debts, would then miss out on a £260,000 TV pay day.
Farnborough's owner and manager Graham Westley told the Star that his players were "itching to play" on Highbury's big stage. He also believed it would be a day to remember for the fans.
He was disappointed, however, at Sky's attitude. "This match deserves to be screened live to the country no matter where it is staged.
"This is what the FA Cup is about. There is so much romance surrounding the game. It's the tie of the year and should be top TV billing."
Mr Westley added that local police had already expressed concerns about the club's ability to stage the game at its tiny Cherrywood Road ground.The number of spectators would almost certainly be limited to just over 3,500, leaving thousands of disappointed fans in the cold.As the Star went to press, talks were taking place between the police, and Farnborough and Arsenal officials, in a bid to resolve the problem.This is the first time that Farnborough, which has only 900 loyal fans at most, has reached the fourth round of the Cup.

This is a really beautiful thing, although I'm not entirely sure what the 'thing' is at this point. A green cloth slipcase encloses 6 folded boards, each with a cloth hinge and displaying a beautiful selection of colours on a chart. The title is given as 'The Ostwald Colour Album. A complete collection of colour standards for use in colour specification and the study of colour harmony'. The whole was published by Windsor & Newton of artists' materials fame. I think this is delightful and whilst I can't imagine it will ever sell for the ridiculous prices being asked for a couple of copies on Abebooks at the moment, surely someone else will love it and want it too...

I think that this is a year in which everything is going to become crystal clear, so to speak. At least, I'm staying positive that 2015 will be the year that answers a lot of unanswered questions.
Because I have already decided that 2015 will be the year of positive thinking!
For instance, I am positive that 2015 will be a better year than the murky, sludgy, disgusting mess that was 2014.
You know how when we were kids, we used to have snow days that prevented us from doing much of anything? As kids, we all loved them because they prevented all of us from going to school. But if you look beyond the superficial reason behind why we wished for snow days as a kid, you'll notice that the skies are dark, the air is cold, and the ground is so slippery that you can't figure out how to walk in a straight line.
I consider 2014 to be an entire year of snow days. Not necessarily saying that I was completely depressed and miserable during the whole year. I did have some great moments last year. I'm saying that in 2014, I had pretty much a year of stagnation and uncertainty where I questioned basically everything that I was doing, and focusing too much on negative things instead of positive ones. And admittedly, that lead to some really frustrating days.
2014 wasn't the worst year that I ever went through, but it certainly wasn't the best.
And a lot of that comes from the fact that I had a hard time staying positive when it seemed like everything and everyone around me was negative.
I have never exactly been the kind of person who would stand up for myself. I guess in some ways, I could be considered a people pleaser of sorts. I would try to do everything possible to be everybody's buddy, even if I wasn't treated with the same respect back. It turned out to be a lousy way to be, especially when I was younger, but I had assumed that once I hit adulthood, those days would long be past, and I would finally have the freedom to be who I wanted to be without any judgment.
Of course, in 2014, this wasn't the case. In fact, 2014 was probably one of those years that started off with me being completely beat down by people who I never expected to be beat down by.
These people included neighbours, social media contacts, customers, co-workers, and other people who I dealt with on a daily basis.
Now, of course, there's nothing that I could do about the customers that were...shall I say...less than pleasant. Not that I would want to anyway. After dealing with them, I usually didn't see them again for another six to eight weeks. Besides, anything they do makes them look foolish. Not me.
But I really had a bit of a learning experience when it comes to dealing with people this past year. And one thing I noticed was that part of the reason why I was feeling so down about myself was because I was always hanging around people who were Debbie and Derrick Downers. People who lived only to complain, complain, complain. Whether it was lunchroom gossip about other people at work, or whether it was people making fun of other people on social media, or whether it was instances in which people who I thought were good friends turned out to be wolves in lamb suits.
(Yeah, yeah...I know sheep's clothing is the proper term...but since when do sheep wear clothes? Never did understand that expression.)
This past year, I had to go through a lot of negativity which in turn caused me to be rather negative myself. And, believe me, I hate feeling that way.
Even on days in which I was feeling on a high and wanted to share that with people, I had people always knocking me down. They would criticize everything I did, or they would purposely make comments to me that sent my happy thoughts crashing down around me. And, you know, for a while, I decided that I would take it as constructive criticism. I had made a pledge to myself that I would not end any friendships with anybody no matter what the circumstances were because I knew how it felt to be rejected, and I didn't want anyone to feel this way.
There's just one problem with that. If you allow toxic people into your life, and allow their words of negativity to fester inside of you, it not only destroys your self-confidence and personality to the point where you lose yourself. It actually impedes your ability to make new friendships and experience new opportunities with new people.
And that is one hassle that nobody needs.
So that is why before 2014 ended, I made a commitment to reverse my previous feelings about friendship. No longer was I going to tolerate friendships that were one-sided, damaging, or toxic. I cut myself away from gossipy co-workers who only spread rumours about others to make themselves feel better. I unfriended about fifty people from my Facebook page on "National Unfriend Day" to remove the negativity there. Truth be told, some of them had it coming for a long time now, and since I've gotten rid of them, I have found that social media is a lot more fun!
Most importantly, I'm beginning to figure things out a lot more, and I am coming to the conclusion that at the beginning of a new year, things are going to be okay. I have positive people in my life who will offer constructive criticism when they need to, but who will also support me no matter what I do. I have decided to spend more time socializing with people in the real world rather than the online world (though I do have a lot of love for the few online contacts I have kept). And, I have a clearer view of what my goals in life really are.
I just have to stay positive. Positive thinking wins every time.

Do you know you are able to print your bank checks from your home printer? And
the cost can be as low as $0.
Printing checks from your own printer is perfectly legal. However, checks must
be printed on special paper. Most banks accept checks printed with the regular
laser print toner. All items user needed are a laser printer, blank check paper
and ezCheckPersonal software. If you already have a laser computer, your total
cost for the software and the check paper can be $0.
The main advantage to people who use check printing and writing software is that
it saves them time and money in a variety of ways - and that is especially true
during these economic times. With ezCheckPersonal, you can have the flexibility
to print quality bank checks immediately in a secure environment. You will
never run out of checks and you are never left with stacks of unused preprinted
checks when your bank changes names or you move to a new address.
Followings are the step by step guide on how to print your bank checks from
your home printer in minutes at possible $0 cost.
Step 1: Download this personal check writing software from halfpricesoft.com
ezCheckPersonal runs on a machine with Windows system only. If you have a MAC
machine, it will not work. This check printing and writing software support
Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP and Windows
Vista. It supports both 32-bit and 64-bit operating system.
ezCheckPersonal Download link:
Just following the intructions on the free check writing software download page
to install this check writer.
Step 2: Set up your own the bank information
click the icon on disktop to start ezCheckPersonal.
For testing purpose, you can ignore this step because ezCheckPersonal comes with
a sample database. If you want to setup your personal bank information,
you can do it by clicking the top menu "Settings->Edit Current Account" to
open check setup page. After you modify the information there, please do not
forget to click the save button.
Step 3: Add a new check and print it from your laser printer
Click the "New Check" button from the main screen to add a new check. Then you
select this check from the list and print it by simply clicking the "Print
Selected" button. Now your first check is ready from your printer.
ezCheckPersonal print check from the default printer. So make sure you set up
your laser printer as your default one. If you have blank check paper, you can
use it. For testing purpose, blank white paper is fine.

The Marina Del Rey served as the gracious host and setting for IAHD's Annual Awards Dinner on May 11, 2017. The celebration marked 60 years of operation for IAHD, and was, additionally, the 50th Annual Awards Dinner. In commemoration of this event, IAHD remembered Sue Ginsburg, who was one of parent activists responsible for helping IAHD get its start way back in 1957. Also, remembered was Edward Ginsburg, Sue's son, who received supports from IAHD until he passed away last year. The night was resplendent with exceptional food, music, views and auction items, now presented in a high tech and exciting format. Details of the evening's celebration and honored guests follow below.READ STORY
IAHD is always excited when it is awarded a Change of Auspice opportunity. Receiving such an award is validation that our organization is doing excellent work. In addition, the award allows us to increase the numbers of people who receive supports from IAHD, and ultimately, it provides us with opportunities to enrich the services and options that we are able to provide to people. We eagerly embrace the individuals who are receiving services and fold them into the IAHD system. We are also happy to meet the staff that had been working in the house, and quite often, the staff will also join the IAHD family. Deborah Street is an example of one staff member who was working at the Esplanade House when it became a part of IAHD. This month, she was honored as May's Employee of the Month.

Is your house too quiet? Do you need a feline conversationalist? Then look no further than Marki. Once you bring her home, you'll never be in want of someone to talk with. She loves to call her humans from the far corners of the house, then race to them when they reply, and flop down in front of them to get their attention, just in case they missed her vocalizations. What an absolute hoot she is! Marki came to our Shelter as a single prewean kitten, and was placed with a momcat and her litter for some feline attention and interaction. The little consolidated family moved to a foster home where they got a lot of good care and lovin'. The momcat and her last kitten were recently adopted together, so Marki became a single kitten again. Her foster mom put her with the other fosters in the home, and now Marki's personality is really blossoming. She's quite playful, interacts well with her fostermates (although she can be a bit bossy at times), and is really becoming the playful kitten that she wants to be. Her entertainment value is very high, so be prepared for a lot of feline antics to keep you laughing. Adopting a kitten is a 10-20 year commitment, is beneficial because they readily adapt to their new home and family, and will provide many years of love, devotion, entertainment, and companionship. Marki's ideal human companions are those who crave the fun, energy, joy, and inquisitiveness of a kitten, and will happily include her in their daily activities. She'll do best in an active home with another pet (hopefully with one of her fostermates) to keep her company. With a loving family, she'll be a wonderful and constant companion for many years. Born in August 2012, Marki is a black DSH female with ghost tabby markings (she has the classic tabby bullseyes on her sides that you can see in the right light), is dewormed, deflead, fully vaccinated (FVRCP and rabies), tested negative for FeLV, spayed, and microchipped for identification. She uses the litterbox and scratching post, and must be indoors-only. Please contact Marki's foster mom at email@example.com or call (408) 681-3788 (voicemail) for more information about adoption; messages returned within 24 hours.
Our primary goal is to lower the euthanasia rate at the shelter, reduce the overpopulation of homeless cats, and provide public outreach services to help the animals and staff at the Santa Clara County Animal Shelter in San Martin, CA. We can accomplish this goal by increasing adoptions and expanding our volunteer program. We provide homes, medical and comfort care to all animals in foster care until adopted.
FOSMAS provide specialty services for care of pre-wean kittens, we train fosters in animal care and provide foster homes for County cats & dogs. FOSMAS provides all necessary food, supplies, and medical treatments for the pets it retrieves from the Santa Clara County Animal Shelter, places them in adoption centers and holds pet fairs to find forever homes for the pets in our foster system.
We partner with local pet stores, such as Petco and PetSmart and local area businesses to run pet adoption fairs and events to showcase our pets available for adoption and educate the public about our rescue group and shelter. We also maintain our website and Pet Site listings to electronically showcase adoptable pets
FOSMAS volunteers also foster animals in private homes. Please contact email@example.com or 669.228.4440 (voicemail) for more information about home visits or to make an appointment to see a particular kitty.

You Look Like a Freak When You Play With Your Wii
Okay, so I am officially no longer cool or in touch with what is the hip and the now because I think you look like a freak when you play with your Wii.
Let me state that again very clearly: YOU LOOK LIKE A FREAK WHEN YOU PLAY WITH YOUR WII.
The terminology alone ("playing my Wii" or "playing with your Wii" or "I love my Wii") in and of itself sounds vaguely pornographic and silly, mostly because Wii sounds like a slang for penis and the word Wii makes me think of wee wee which reminds me of penis or urination, both images / words that make me chuckle a little.
But they don't make me laugh as much as the image of grown adults or even teenagers dancing around their living rooms holding little white plastic things in their hands and jerking their bodies around like they're having some kind of epileptic seizure or recreating a scene from "The Exorcist" as they look at their television screens and drool with excitement.

Now as a woman of a certain age, I'll admit my video game knowledge is mostly limited to the Atari 2600 (moment of silence let us praise it) and the early form of Nintendo (which involved the interactive game Duck Hunt which I also thought was lame after playing it for five seconds). No, I have never played with a Wii nor do I want to spend hundreds of dollars acquiring one. Why?
Because you look like a freak when you play with your Wii.
You want to dance? You want to box? You want to play tennis? Then get your FAT AMERICAN ASS outside and DO those things, for God's sake! Do them in real life! My God, people. Our bodies were not meant to be cramped inside a little room holding a tiny, white plastic console and whipping ourselves around in a frenzy only to see a cartoon recreation of ourselves on the screen doing the exact same thing. WHY is this interesting, fun, fascinating, enjoyable, or even healthy? Why? Someone please tell me. Please.
I saw a piece on "The Today Show" about disabled people who are recovering from car accidents and on-the-job accidents using the Wii to rehabilitate their bodies. Great. Fine. That's what the damn Wii is for. IT IS NOT FOR YOU, a healthy, able-bodied person who is physically able to do the things he or she is doing on a television screen in what we call real life. The real life that is waiting for you if only you put the Wii down and step away slowly and join the rest of us in the land of the living.
I don't know why this has got my goat so bad. Perhaps it's because it's just another sign that we are quickly becoming a technologically obsessed group of fat geeks incapable of interacting with other human beings. Perhaps it's because in a nation of debtors this is the last thing we should be spending our money on. Perhaps it's because I fear a nation of console-clutching goobers is even less able to assess when its precious civil rights are being stripped away than it is without the console in its collective grip.
And perhaps it's because I think it's because you look like a freak when you play with your Wii.
There. I said it. – Jennifer Mathieu

Krugman: Its Health Care Costs, Stupid
Its Health Care Costs, Stupid
In todays column, I tried to emphasize a point that is weirdly absent from public discourse, at least among VSPs: the favorite VSP solution to the long-run budget deficit, raising the Medicare eligibility age, actually yields only minor savings. The point is that if you want to control Medicare costs, you cant do it by kicking a small number of relatively young seniors off the program; to control costs, you have to, you know, control costs.
And the truth is that we know a lot about how to do that after all, every other advanced country has much lower health costs than we do, and even within the US, the VHA and even Medicaid are much better at controlling costs than Medicare, and even more so relative to private insurance.
The key is having a health insurance system that can say no no, we wont pay premium prices for drugs that are little if any better, we wont pay for medical procedures that yield little or no benefit
But even as Republicans demand entitlement reform, they are dead set against anything like that. Bargaining over drug prices? Horrors! The Independent Payment Advisory Board? Death panels! They refuse to contemplate using approaches that have worked around the world; the only solution they will countenance is the solution that has never worked anywhere, namely, converting Medicare into an underfunded voucher system.

1. Not only are their stupid vouchers inadequate
no insurance company with a cadre of bean counters worth their name is going to write policies for anyone over 65.
That's why we got Medicare in the first place. Retirees couldn't find private plans anywhere at any cost.

2. Krugman avoids answering whether competition should be allowed to set prices or govt. will take over
such things as research and ultimately production of drugs.
He also skirts the implication that "The key is having a health insurance system that can say no" means some form of health care rationing.

4. Krugman addresses cost of health care. That becomes an issue under socialism when the state is
unable to pay for all health care procedures, hence rationing is necessary.
Please identify one government that is socialist that does not face rationing.
For that matter please identify any government that does not face rationing.
IMO there are none and that's why cutting costs are essential.
That leads to the other question I posed, does Krugman expect competition to reduce drug costs or a government monopoly drug department?

For that matter please identify any government that does not face rationing.
...as opposed to paying 17 percent of GDP in health care costs and having 50 million (expected to climb to 70 million pre-reform) citizens without insurance?
Oh, and the rationing debate happened leading up to the health care reform bill being signed into law. On one hand were the single-payer advocates and on the other were the RW nuts screaming about long lines and rationing in Canada. Look up some of the posts addressing the issue.

7. We need to ration more. Not every 80 year old with metastatic endstage cancer should be offered a
ventilator and months in the ICU for their final days. That's what's happening in our system now and that's NOT what happens in a lot of single payer countries.
Sorry, we need some rationing. Doctors and patients and families need lots of education on end of life care. That in the long run (and maybe the short run) would save us billions.
A bigger issue is it could save a lot of suffering.

11. I agree.
The real moral dilemma here is whether it rationed fairly or have it totally based the profit motive rather than actual efficacy. I'm sick of the "I paid into the system all my life" argument when the truth is due to the ridiculous rise in costs a lot of people are taking out far more than they put in. Medicare and Medicaid are social safety nets and we need to be reasonable and fair about it, not have this stupid "me first, screw the future generation" attitude the baby-boom generation has. The only real savings is to lower overall healthcare costs and get the rent-seeking private sector leeches off the government tit. Doctors and practitioners should be compensated fairly for their valuable skill and expertise, but the profiteering middle-men need to get the hell out.

17. I think the end of life discussion should be brought up as soon as the prognosis is known.
Then while people can still make their own decisions, or their relatives have more time to think about it. It should be explained what spending final weeks or months in an ICU is like and what CPR vs dying at home with family is like. The other thing some people are proposing that I like is changing the term DNR do not resuscitate to AND A Natural Death. This might make it easier for people to think about it as a natural process as opposed to withholding important treatments.
You don't even have to discuss the money aspect.

This notion that government should decide is ludicrous, and that's evident because of the ageism aspect. It's one of those idiotic slippery slopes that people tend to push in age discrimination. What about a younger person, or a child, in a similar situation?

23. I've seen some cases where I really don't care who it is, but someone should say "no".
It's an ethical question. I know not everyone agrees with me. I do believe many single payer European medical systems couldn't thrive the way they do if the government didn't say "no" sometimes.

I love this episode. Monica and Chandler start their life-changing relationship and Ross and Rachel get back together, sort of.
One of the best moments of the episode is when Rachel walks in, hoping to stop Ross marrying Emily, but she sees them kissing, and she decides to congratulate him instead.
I think the appearences by Tom Conti and Jeniffer Saunders are great too. I think they're truly terrific actors, and they really did make this episode a lot funnier.
Another great scene is where nobody laughs at Chandler's toast (I'm guessing this was to make fun of the fact that English people have such a different sense of humour to Americans).
Anyways, I think this episode is underappreciated (even if it is currently the 5th highest ranked Friends episode on this site), because it is fabulous. It has a lot of similarities with 'The Last One' too, which of course, is only a good thing.

Greed - Taking advantage of the already weakened.

Justice and truth are rarely the same thing. In this case the neither were served by the attorney or the system.
#89 Mar 3, 2013
Why? Because he works for a living?
#90 Mar 3, 2013
Naw, because he lied to her and misled her for the sake of him getting more fee's. Working is great, but do it ethically. There are exceptions to people you work with it and it's not all black and white. Even the Oath the attorney took demands it.
#91 Mar 3, 2013
There are people who will move from other states to the already weakened's state just to get their hands on what they can. Sad, but true. They will go to great length's to make sure they get what they want.
#92 Mar 3, 2013
I get what youre saying. It is sad. Right is right, wrong is wrong no matter what. Derek F Johnson is as wrong as they come. Nothing in the world is worth getting when you take advantage of a woman with a sick child. Like I keep telling her and like so many others that have commented, what comes around goes around. There's many people not feeling good at all about what that attorney did. His name won't be forgotten in some circles. Karma doesn't have a time limit.
#93 Mar 4, 2013
My first feeling was to call his office and tell him what a jerk he is. He is probably mind sick enough to rip off a desperately ill child and mom he probably thought to himself, "Oh a cancer patient - he might die soon and what? Am I suppose to care?"
When you go get him let us know so we can get our popcorn and colas ready. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.\m/\m/
#94 Mar 4, 2013
I gotta call the other day about this truck driver school i went to but then lost my license cause i got a dwi and now they want me to pay this truck driving school haha can't work can't drive eat it buddy
#95 Mar 4, 2013
His ex wife is more than likely saying - "Derek Johnson, yea he raped me, tortured me, and mamed me. I was married to the compulsive liar."
It's no secret. Call her and find out but she doesn't live in Zionsville, Indiana.
All lawyers lie - it's in their blood.
#96 Mar 8, 2013
Raped is right! Another example of a repulsive lawyer. He's part of Obama's antichrist group too.
#97 Mar 13, 2013
Sad the legal system has succumb to ethical collapse. This is not only unethical but there are larger implications.

Small Claims: Big Injustice
WTHR Channel 13 - Indianapolis, Indiana
WTHR's Sandra Chapman Investigates
Attorney Derek F Johnson, Decatur Township Small Claims, and Judge Myron Hockman.
#99 May 16, 2013
For what??? Doing his job? Gina Hoggs had 6 years to pay a bill that was less than $100. Learn to forward your mail and show up in court!
#100 May 17, 2013
some of these bills are very easy to get dismissed.
Others you NEVER will! Cars, motorcycles and any other tangible property are seized for default on student loans. SOcial Security funds garnished as well.
These are NOT discharge able in bankruptcy. Hospital bills ARE.
Why didn't she just take bankruptcy?
#101 May 17, 2013
Attorneys never waive their fees. Why should they work for free? Would you tell your boss to just keep your daily wage because you were feeling generous? Not likely.
$475-$500 fees is common practice for atty fees. Their higher education was not free. And even though they may have stood in front of a judge for 10 minutes there was likely hours spent filing paperwork and skip tracing deadbeats who skirt their collection efforts. And who knows how many hours making telephone calls asking the debtor to make payments on their bills.
Attorney fees: not free
Medical care: not free
#102 May 17, 2013
If you read the investigative report, you'll see the numbers and how Derek F Johnson has been forum court shopping to get a for sure win. That's not an ethical way of practicing law and lying is not an ethical way of practicing law. People also deserve to have a Judge that works for the People, not work for the attorneys.
Derek F Johnson, is an unethical lying attorney. It's that simple. It has nothing to do with free services, free fee's, or free health care.
#103 May 17, 2013
So this woman did not owe the money? She was wrongfully sued?
#104 May 17, 2013
that attorney is a jerk. read the article consumer man and watch channel 13 investigates. the fact he lied to that lady and has been trolling courts and overcharging is the point. another point is that this woman had proof it was missed in error.
#105 Jun 17, 2013
Attorney Derek F Johnson of Jacob, Hammerle, Johnson Law Offices in Zionsville, Indiana is BUSTTTEDDD by Channel 13 Investigates. He's been overcharging, trolling the courts, and using all the unethical dirty tricks to steal your money. His net $2.3 million in last 1 1/2 years because Judge Hockman ordered defendants to pay attorneys fee even when debt had been paid off several years prior and the case should have been dismissed. CORRUPTION! EXTORtION!
SOB's need to rot in hell for targeting people for their own personal gain using corrupt practices.
#106 Jun 19, 2013
you got that right
#107 Jun 19, 2013

He leaves it entirely to the scientists. This is more than moral abdication. It is acquiescence to the mystique of 'science' and its inherent moral benevolence. How anyone as sophisticated as Obama can believe this within living memory of Mengele and Tuskegee and the fake (and coercive) South Korean stem cell research is hard to fathom…"

Former court reporter reflects on changes
New Courts opened this week
Source: 7.30 Queensland | Duration: 3min 35sec
Topics: law-crime-and-justice, courts-and-trials, brisbane-4000
JESSICA van VONDEREN: After more than 30 years, Brisbane's Supreme and District Court buildings will be torn down. The old complex has been replaced by a new high-rise. Hearings began at the new precinct this week. Josh Bavas spoke with a former Court reporter who spent nearly 50 years covering mostly criminal cases.
EARLE RAWLINGS, FMR CHIEF COURT BUREAU REPORTER: The Courts, from when I started in 1952, was the one Supreme Court on the corner of Anne Street and George Street. And that had been there since the 1880s and it had been sufficient for those days for the population as it was in Queensland. The Judges were stationed in Brisbane and they had one Judge stationed in Rockhampton and one Judge stationed in Townsville. When the population started to increase, they needed the extra Judges to cater with the jurisdictional changes and also the volume of work that was coming upon them at that stage.
JOSH BAVAS: And what happened to that Court?
EARLE RAWLINGS: A prisoner was released from jail and he had been sentenced by Mr Justice Wanstall for a term of imprisonment and after it was finished, he broke into the Supreme Court and he got all the Bibles and other material that he could get and took it to Justice Wanstall's Chambers and actually started a fire which burnt down part of the building and it was eventually decided to demolish it and they built then the District Court building, which is the building on the right hand side next to Anne Street.
JOSH BAVAS: What's your most memorable criminal cases?
EARLE RAWLINGS: Stuart and Finch. They were the two criminals from Sydney who came up to try and muscle in on the industry in Brisbane and they went to the Whiskey-Au-Go-Go and tried to get money out of the Whiskey-Au-Go-Go owners as the story goes and they didn't and so they burnt the Whiskey-Au-Go-Go down.
REPORTER: Police have described the fire here as the most hideous crime they have ever investigated.
EARLE RAWLINGS: And a number of people were burnt to death. It was a terrible tragedy because the doors had been locked and they had no way of escaping and eventually Stuart and Finch were arrested and charged. And when their trial came on, the police were very conscious of the fact that there may be attempts to escape so they had to build a brand new dock and the petitions so that it was fully enclosed and whereas before that it was open dock but for the Finch and Stuart trial it was a completely enclosed dock.
JOSH BAVAS: And when you look at some of the criminal cases that are on TV and in the newspapers now, do they horrify you compared to your criminal cases?
EARLE RAWLINGS: These cases were very memorable because you got one a month or one every six months. These days, the cases just come and go so quickly that there's a murder, there's a stabbing, there's home invasions. I don't know why this is? Whether it's the change in the nature of the population and the people's views on life but certainly it's not the nice lifestyle that we certainly enjoyed in the old days.
EARLE RAWLINGS: I had a very, very good staff and when I retired, I was actually presented with a certificate by the stenograph corporation of America saying that our system in Brisbane; we had 54 reporters fully trained on the transcription system and at that stage in 1990, we had the largest number of court reporters fully trained on computer transcription anywhere in the world. So that was a number one for me then I retired after that and certainly a lot of people they still have the skill that they learnt at the college in Brisbane.

Atari, Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox: Ask just about any child—and some parents—and they will regale you with tales of adventure, intrigue and war, all taking place on their living room video game systems.
A new exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry takes you beyond the world of Mario Bros. and Tomb Raider to explore the history, creation and explosion of this media phenomena that began more than 40 years ago.
"Game On: The History, Culture and Future of Video Games," created by British Curator Conrad Bodman, is a 100 percent interactive experience, presenting you with everything from the refrigerator-size video game consoles of the past to the sleek and mobile ones of today.
The exhibit is set up in a large room with lights and sound all around and is designed as if you are walking through an effortless maze with only one path.
Serious gamers can walk through 16 "levels" of video game history heaven, where they can experience nearly all the different video game consoles ever made, from Atari to Xbox. More than 100 games in 15 different genres—to suit all playing tastes—are set up to for visitors to try.
And while video game-crazed kids comprise much of the crowd, you are also likely to see groups of nostalgic adults wandering around, reminiscing about childhood video game adventures, as well as serious adult gamers.
More than just games
But the exhibit is about more than just playing video games. Video game fanatics, as well as those new to the scene, can learn about how video games have captivated people all around the globe.
One part of the exhibit focuses on how games are created, from tiny character sketches to complete worlds stored on little disks and cartridges.
You can learn about the key people who created popular games such as Dance Dance Revolution and Tomb Raider and how they affected other industries.
Rare, colorful, hand-drawn pictures of scenes from games such as The Sims and Jak 3 pepper the space, as well as prototypes of unreleased games. Movie-based video games, such as Star Wars, also get some play at the exhibit.
In addition, "Game On" delves into the international gaming culture, showing Japan's influence in popular manga- and cartoon-based games. You can even try your luck at some games written in Japanese.
Although the exhibit is entertaining, the crowds make it hard to move around inside. The farther you venture into the exhibit, the more crowded it gets—especially near the lines to test out games. Try to hit the exhibit on off-peak hours.
"Game On," an all-ages exhibit, runs through Sept. 5 at the Museum of Science and Industry, 5700 S. Lake Shore Dr., Chicago. Cost is $5 plus museum admission, $4 for members. For more information, call (773) 684-1414 or visit www.msichicago.org/gameon. Shai Ligum, 13, of Vernon Hills

Winter time brings many common childhood illnesses, such as colds, stomach bugs and sore throats. What do you do when you child is home sick from daycare or school for a day or two...or even longer? Here are some tips to keep a kid's boredom away during recovery time.

Create a fort, pirate cave, or tent with your child in the living room using lots of pillows, sheets, and blankets. Tuck in a sleeping bag and flashlight. If your kid feels well enough, let him wear his favorite costume or cape, and then either play a game, read an adventure book, put together a puzzle, or watch your favorite movie together.

Create a stash of sick day boredom-beater activities for a kid who is not feeling terribly bad but must be contained in the home due to a contagious illness or is on health watch. Items can include easy craft projects, puzzles, Lego kits, paper dolls, marker or coloring projects (tuck in a new pack--that's always sure to bring a smile), and other simple and inexpensive items. Be sure, however, not to plan the idea in a kid's mind that it is so "fun" to be sick that it could encourage a case of the "pretends" in the future.

Purchase some inexpensive tub toys just for sick times. It's always refreshing and sometimes necessary to take a bath, especially when feverish, and slightly-ill children will enjoy having a new tub friend to share the experience with.

Tell your child of special treatments on sick days. Parents have shared special times: all-you-can-eat applesauce, new PJs, polishing a child's hands and toes, letting the sick child have a temporary bed on the floor in the parents room with lots of snuggly blankets and pillow, or getting to watch a new movie together.

If you have a tile floor, give your child a bucket of sidewalk chalk and let him draw on it. Cleanup is easy with a wet mop.

Place feverish kids' pillowcase in the fridge for a few minutes. It's refreshing and not as messy as a wet washcloth.

Make frozen pops using juice or Gatorade.

For chickenpox, use some calamine lotion and cotton swabs and play "Connect the Pox."

For children who are only slightly ill, boredom is a major downer when sick. Above all, children crave TLC and extra attention from mom and/or dad until it's time to return to playtime and learning. Check out these home remedies from moms and dads just like you!

IN gold, black and white with the Penguins' logo, the ''Lemieux 66 1984-1997'' banner hangs high in the Civic Arena, while the franchise's future hangs in bankruptcy court.
Millionaire former superstars in every sport are supposed to fade away into the sun and fun of celebrity golf tournaments, but Mario Lemieux, who led the Penguins to the Stanley Cup in both 1991 and 1992, is trying to buy the Penguins franchise in order to keep it alive and well in Pittsburgh.
This isn't the usual story of a franchise about to move. This isn't the Dodgers leaving Brooklyn, or the Raiders leaving Oakland, or the Browns leaving Cleveland. Those franchises were not only solvent, but also profitable.
The Penguins are bankrupt. The Penguins are $120 million in debt, and the co-owners Howard W. Baldwin and Roger M. Marino are now seldom in sight. Zillionaires who might ordinarily want to buy a National Hockey League franchise as a toy have shied away from the Penguins as a bad investment.
But the most famous player in Penguins history, Mario Lemieux, along with the supermarket-chain multimillionaire Ron Burkle, have joined in a bid for this small-market franchise in the N.H.L., where revenue-sharing doesn't exist. If the bid is successful, Lemieux will be the principal owner. Lemieux isn't just putting up his name; he's putting up $10 million of his reported $20 million in deferred income. If he succeeds, it will be more important to the Penguins' future than any, or all, of his goals as a center.Continue reading the main story
In earlier eras, players didn't make enough money to even think about being a club owner. It's different now. Michael Jordan wants to be an owner of the Charlotte Hornets and Lemieux is hoping to take over the Penguins, whom he watched take a two-games-to-one lead on the Devils in their opening-round four-of-seven-game Stanley Cup playoff series with yesterday's 4-2 victory.
Without hockey's best player, Jaromir Jagr, who was benched by a damaged groin for the second straight game, and in the confusion over the bankruptcy situation, the eighth-seeded Penguins weren't supposed to challenge the Devils, the Eastern Conference champions, but the Devils are in jeopardy of being eliminated in the first round for the second straight year.
''We don't have any control of it, so we don't worry about it,'' Kevin Constantine, the Penguin coach, said of the bankruptcy. ''And it'd be a lame excuse if we did.''
Maybe they don't worry about it, but the Penguin players surely are aware that the franchise is awaiting its real playoffs -- discussions on Wednesday about the arena lease and a hearing on Friday in United States Bankruptcy Court.
Lemieux will meet Wednesday with Wes Westley Jr., the president and chief executive of Spectacor Management Group, which operates the Civic Arena for the city.
Lemieux will try to reduce the lease that costs the Penguins $7 million a year. In contrast, the Steelers and the Pirates will each pay $350,000 in their lease arrangements with the city for the approved new separate football and baseball stadiums. Lemieux reportedly wants a $500,000 lease.
And on Friday in bankruptcy court, Judge Bernard Markovitz will conduct a hearing on the Lemieux group's bid.
Gary Bettman, the N.H.L. commissioner, has supported Lemieux's bid, so much so that he has threatened to dissolve the franchise, or sell it to another local ownership group or to an owner in another city if the judge doesn't approve of Lemieux's bid, hopefully by June 1.
''We're running out of time,'' Bettman said at Saturday's game. ''We have a schedule to do for next season. It's virtually done, but if we have to redo it, we have to know soon.''
The N.H.L. could also liquidate the franchise's assets and conduct a dispersal draft of its players, notably Jagr, the N.H.L.'s leading scorer this season, whose contract calls for a $9 million salary next season. Should that happen, the Rangers would presumably be the franchise best able to afford him.
But that's not what all those Penguins fans want. And it's not what Jagr wants.
When the Penguins were in Madison Square Garden last Sunday for Wayne Gretzky's going-away party, Lemieux, who was there as what Gretzky described as ''the best player I ever played against,'' happened to walk by the Penguins' dressing room.
''Howya doin', boss,'' Jagr said wishfully.
From his lips to the bankruptcy judge's ears.Continue reading the main story

Re: How to handle John de Wherizit names?
In reply to:
Re: How to handle John de Wherizit names?
Thanks for the response.
I too am struggling with this multiple same given name problem. It has always been there to a certain extent but I just recently stumbled into a honey pot of information on my wife's ancestors where both the Hanson's and Gledhill's got STUCK on the use of John and Thomas for given names and I now have umpteen duplicates. Dates certainly help to differentiate and I too have adopted a policy of estimating birth dates, but I still rely on the use of I, II, III, etc., for my own benefit. (An aside on estimating births - I did this religiously until I recently became TOTALLY confused trying to bounce back and forth between some known event dates and my initial birth estimates and finally gave up and just cleared all of the birth estimates in that line).
I ONLY use FTM for the ability to QUICKLY and cleanly produce ancestor charts and indented descendants listings with ALOT of information included - I can't even begin to figure out how to do this in UFT. So I periodically save my file to gedcom and then re-import it into FTW to have a fresh copy solely for this purpose.

6-year-old girl witnesses two shootings
A six year old girl who had a miracle escape when her father was shot and bullets narrowly missed her helmet witnessed the shooting of 7-year-old Sean Scully in Ballyfermot last year.
Stephen Smith was shot as he got on to his moped on Cleggan Road in Ballyfermot, Dublin, at 8.40pm last Friday.
He was taken to St James's Hospital, where he was still being treated last night.
"His poor girl, she's in an awful state over it. It's the second time she's witnessed something like this," a close relative told the Irish Independent.
"She was at the green last year when the little Scully lad was shot - he's been left paralysed since," he added.
Sean Scully was left paralysed from the chest down after being hit by a stray bullet.
Meanwhile, an 11-year-old Dublin boy is recovering in hospital today after being shot in the arm at his home.
The young boy was hit with a shotgun blast after a group of thugs smashed up the house where his family live on the Belgard Road in Tallaght.
The incident happened when the men drove into the grounds of the house after 2.30am on Saturday and started smashing the windows and doors of the detached bungalow.
As the family fled the house they were confronted by the gang who opened fire on them, gardaí believe. The boy was expected to undergo surgery on his gunshot wounds last night.

A big hello to all! As usual, here is the breakdown of last week's news about Call of Duty, Call of Duty Wiki and any wikia news that has transpired over the week...
Call of Duty
- Playstation Magazine UK's May issue is showing signs of a preview of Modern Warfare 3, which should be in line with an announcement at E3. (See more...)
Call of Duty Wiki
- Call of Duty Wiki now has an RSS feed! (The link's below).
Wikia and the World
- A new sidebar element is being tested on Wikia in order to help Wikia relaunching Wikia launchers.
- For all those in the UK who this might apply to, GCSEs begin on Monday, May 16th. If users begin to seem unactive for a while, they're probably starting to get into the habit of revising.
- Recent rumors suggesting a new Xbox already being developed ARE FALSE, according to EA.
- Playstation Network, despite being claimed to be up on May 5th, is still down. However, when it comes up users can expect a "Welcome Pack" along with 30 days free Playstation Plus subscription. Time to download all those themes guys!
And on the Lighter Side...
- Congratulations to Conqueror of all Zombies on becoming the Wiki's new administrator!
That's all for now folks!
