Siding Lawsuit

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

In the same vein as a siding recall, a siding lawsuit is a far more aggressive way of dealing with improper manufacturing of siding made with synthetic materials. Instead of a product recall being prompted by the manufacturer’s awareness of the faulty product, or in some cases lack of awareness, a legal representative is hired on behalf of the consumers who have purchased the product to file suit against the manufacturer. A siding lawsuit that is “class action” in nature pertains to a large number of consumers owning the faulty siding. It such cases a siding lawsuit of this magnitude may result in the manufacturer compensating the consumer with a monetary sum to make up for any health, or safety issues and the replacement of the faulty siding.

Like any lawsuit over a bad product, a siding lawsuit would not merely impact consumers on a small scale, but those on a large, even national scale. The consumers to which a class action siding lawsuit pertains to may very well be unaware of their potential involvement in the suit. Often in such cases the various media outlets including television, radio, and newsprint is notified so that the consumers who are not aware of the faulty products in their possession may gain awareness and take action if they so choose. In some cases, upon a settlement, a siding lawsuit will force the manufacturer to contact the consumers who have purchased their product in the past, notifying them of the courts ruling and what they need to do if they choose to participate. Yet while the consumer and legal representative may desire quick action on the part of the courts, a siding lawsuit may take many months before a resolution is reached that is satisfactory to all parties.

The Living Will

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

A living will is not about who inherits your stocks and bonds when you die and it doesn’t designate who gets the family home or your mother’s jewelry. What a living will does is establish your wishes about what happens to you should you become terminally ill or permanently incapacitated. A living will is a binding set of advanced medical directives that dictates whether you will be kept alive via life support devices, or whether and when to pull the plug on those devices. Having a living will in place means that you make your final decisions rather than depending on your relatives or the state to make them. It can save turmoil and confusion over what you might have wanted, and it can spare your children or other heirs from having to make judgments they would rather not have to make.

What happens when you cannot speak for yourself?
If you have not explicitly left instructions in the form of a living will, you are entirely at the mercy of others. Any number of events – a car accident, a heart attack or a blood clot, for example – can render a person permanently unable to speak and act on their own behalf. You might be allowed to die when you wished to be resuscitated or you might be kept alive through artificial means when you wished to be allowed to die. In a worst case scenario, you could even become an unwilling pawn in moral and legal arguments between competing political entities.

The Terry Schiavo case in Florida, which played out over the past decade and resulted in Schiavo’s death, provides a sad and gruesome illustration of the need for a living will.

• Schiavo’s ex-husband asserted that she had indicated, at some point during their marriage, that she would not want to live in a permanent vegetative state.

• Her parents wanted to keep her alive and argued that her, and their, Catholic beliefs precluded removing life support.

• The case was in and out of court with suits and counter suits that went on for years while Schiavo unknowingly awaited her fate in a nursing home.

• Conservative activists weighed in on the right to life and liberal activists weighed in on the right to death.

• Everyone from the Governor of Florida to Pope John Paul II and the worldwide media argued about Terry Schiavo.

• Ultimately, the ex-husband won the day in court; Schiavo was disconnected from the feeding and hydration tubes, and she slowly starved to death while the world kept vigil.

Can you prevent something similar happening to you?
While the Schiavo case is an extreme example, many families go through some version of the same agonizing process when someone they love is either devastatingly ill or injured. In truth, only you know what your last wishes really are – until and unless you put them in writing in the form of a living will. Here’s how it works:

• A living will only becomes effective if you are terminally ill or permanently incapacitated. Laws in most states direct that two doctors determine when a situation is hopeless.

• You have the right, under common law, to refuse any unwanted medical procedure, including insertion of a feeding/hydration tube. Conversely, you also have the right to receive the same lifesaving medical procedures.

• Even when doctors believe that there is no hope of recovery, they are bound by medical ethics to provide lifesaving procedures until a court order directs them otherwise.

• Both the medical community and the courts, however, must abide by your pre-determined wishes, if they are written down in the form of a living will.

• Families do not have to guess, second-guess one another, or spend the rest of their lives with doubts and regrets, if they know they are following your express wishes.

How do you go about making a living will?

Ideally, the best option is to consult an attorney and have a legally unchallengeable living will prepared. However, there are numerous Internet sites that provide forms and instructions for creating an adequate living will that will hold up in any state court. The pertinent question isn’t really whether or not you need a living will, but how soon you can put one in place.

Additional Categories for Article Websites

Friday, July 25th, 2008

Have you started an Article Website and are trying even pleading with authors to post their articles there? Yet you are finding problems trying to compete with category killers like EzineArticles.com. You are not alone, there are so many trying to do this. Some last over two-months before giving up in vane, knowing they will not even make the grade of the second, third, fifth, tenth, even one hundredth site with the most articles. Do not feel bad about your failures as an Article Website Webmaster.

Maybe you can try some different categories, to pick up authors, alternative categories in which no one seems to be cashing in on. For instance How about a; “Miscellaneous” category, kind of like a holding tank for all those articles which do not fit and all those authors who write alternative crap, or lets be nice alternative wisdom articles. Even I myself sometimes feel when I write an article which is an original idea, that it does not belong in a given category, often an opinion about the human endeavor or because I am merely throwing out a crazy idea, which might not even be fully feasible, thus science and education is really way out there? Maybe a “Sci Fi” category, after all there are lots of weirdoes serching UFO subjects and Conspiracy theories. Other sites do not want these nuts writing articles as it gives their site a tainted look and besides they are doing a disservice to science? A miscellaneous category would prove to be a most interesting category and would get a lot of traffic or you could develop a: “Innovations and Concepts” category, for Futurists and thinkers to get their ideas out.

Although I am not a conspiracy theorist, it seems some authors and websites so often contain information on Paranormal, UFOs, etc. So miscellaneous could be good for a few laughs and really pick up some of those 15 million listeners to shows like Coast-to-Coast am? That ultra crazy and wild late night talk show that is about ghosts and aliens? Maybe you can have a conspiracy theory website, alien articles, stories of the occult instead since you cannot compete with EzineArticles.com

How about a military technology website, people love wars, blood and guts? Military technologies would solve that one. But you may not wish to go there yet if your audience and other contributors are 30-60 year old female authors of the most peaceful and benevolent healing power type. That might rub them the wrong way. But if you have few authors so far and need to upgrade your number and content so you do not get laughed out of the industry you could try that? Some sites are pushing 15% of this type of authors. Of course most small time article sites are blowing chunks and making literally no money so another more obvious move is to shut down your site while you are still ahead. You know even those who were shot down by the Red Baron went down in a blaze of glory and are to this day immortalized. Think on this and pick a good tombstone epitaph while you are thinking on it.

The Secret to Letting Go of Anger

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

Anger comes from a sense, usually unconscious, of being small and lacking. This sense makes us cling to lower self qualities. Having lists of specific Higher and Lower Self qualities (like Patience, Kindness, Empathy, Compassion, Encouraging, Courage, and Gentleness vs. fearfulness, complaining, doubting, negative judging, shaming, and blaming) makes it easier to identify and shift our mood and state more effectively than just having a general idea like, “I want to be a higher state.”

I shared these with a client who was being challenged in their life by someone whom they perceived as blocking them from having something very important to them. It was going to be very important for the client to be at her best when they met.

The client wanted to be in a good state – no argument there, but when, I suggested that beyond picking Higher Self qualities to connect with, she would be more powerful if she envisioned and prayed for the other person to be in Higher Self qualities as well. This was initially resisted – until she saw how silly it was to try to be in Higher Self qualities while holding onto a bad opinion of the other person based on fear, blame and resentment – Lower Self qualities.

Important Tip – change your vision of self and other, not just self!

Her willingness was then established to pray for her adversary as well as for herself. However, when I asked her to wholeheartedly envision herself manifesting the qualities of her choice, she felt imposed upon – the word ‘wholeheartedly’ triggered a sense of impossible performance standard.

I quickly realized I often met this response to this word and also to the words ‘persistent’ and ‘constant.’ Spiritual instructions often use these words: pray constantly, make wholehearted effort, be persistent in your remembrance of God. I remember when I would get discouraged hearing such instructions, taking them as admonitions to uphold an impossible standard that I know I was incapable of.

Then one of my teachers explained that to be wholehearted, constant, or persistent meant to make a concerted focused effort for even just 5 minutes daily and relax and let go. The key was doing it daily for at least 5 minutes, and if you could do it in the same place and at the same time, so much the better. But then relax and let it go. If your affirmation or object of contemplation returns to your mind during the day, fine, but you don’t have to try to hold on to it every minute. She felt much better when I explained this.

So here is your invitation: Pick a short affirmation like, “I am healthy and happy,” or “I succeed with grace and ease,” or whatever works for you – refer to the Higher Self list of qualities and pick one you wish to be planted and growing within you.

Four more tips: Make your statement short and positive. Don’t be concerned about it being “true.” Just repeat it for 5 minutes, not 15 seconds, daily for one month – for 5 minutes and then let to go. But daily! Enjoy the results.

Have an exuberant day, every day! (Hey, that could be your affirmation!)

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Sales and down across the board and retailers and restaurants chains may be hesitant to be a part of a new development in the city of Redlands.

In addition to the dirt patch, the roads alongside the dirt patch have been under construction for what seems like an eternity. And it looks like nothing has changed for all the time the roads have been closed. There are plenty of new huge and extra huge office warehouses at the end of Pioneer Street, along with a new Redlands high school, but still no word on what’s going to happen to the area next to Citrus Plaza. Maybe a good Redlands web design company could develop a website that keeps Redlands citizens and shoppers and residents that live nearby, more in the loop about city affairs. It’s not like it’s too much to ask. Area residents should have some way to accurately relay on what’s going on in their city and a website developed for that reason could really help.
