I knew I didn’t have any clients. I knew that my husband and I could scarcely afford the loss of my paycheck, let alone come up capital for me to invest in my practice. I knew that I was way too mortified at having been laid off from my former firm to share the real reason for starting my own firm. I knew that when I finally opened for business, in truth, I was just putting on a game face every day, biding my time until something else came along or until I got pregnant and could, like some of my other law school classmates, gracefully exit the law. How to Beat a Photo-Enforced Speeding Ticket (or Red Light Ticket) Lawyer Parents Require Signed And Notarized Affidavit Before Tooth Fairy Visit.
Neither of my parents are lawyers, so I’ve never fully grasped what it must have been like to grow up in an abattoir of legalese.
But many people are reared by the partnership of Mom & Dad. I’ve known several such kids to come out the other side becoming lawyers themselves. And many more who worked hard to figure out the lifeplan furthest removed from lawyering. But what makes a dual-legal upbringing unique? Perhaps it’s forcing a child to sign an affidavit to secure payment from the tooth fairy… I'm Dating Someone Even Though I'm Married By Jarrid Wilson.

Stony Brook Computer Science Professor Quantifies Some Elements of Writing Style That Differentiate Successful Fiction. Released:12/23/2013 1:00 PM ESTEmbargo expired: 1/6/2014 7:00 AM EST Source Newsroom: Stony Brook University Newswise — STONY BROOK, NY, January 6, 2014-Imagine the challenge publishers face, pouring over thousands of manuscripts to determine if a book will be a hit.
Stony Brook Department of Computer Science Assistant Professor Yejin Choi thinks she has a tool to bring some science to that art, and she is co-author of a paper, Success with Style: Using Writing Style to Predict the Success of Novels, which was unveiled at the conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP) 2013. “Predicting the success of literary works poses a massive dilemma for publishers and aspiring writers alike,” Choi said. “We examined the quantitative connection between writing style and successful literature.

Dr. Dr. Productivity Is Killing Us. I just downloaded the best iPhone app ever created.
It’s called “Days of Life”, and it tells you how many days of your life are remaining. Every day, I get a notification of how many more days are left. Every day, the number is one less than the day before. The point of the app isn’t really knowing how many days you have left. Review-a-Day - Alien Hearts (New York Review Books Classics) by Guy De Maupassant, reviewed by Harper's Magazine. How Friends Decided to Pair Off Monica/Chandler. As Friends wrapped up its fourth season in May of 1998, Ross and Rachel's on/off relationship still provided the show's emotional core, with the other four roommates serving as the platonic Greek chorus to the couple's climactic kisses and "on-a-break"-dom.
But then, in the second half of the season’s hour-long finale – the one with Ross's ill-fated London wedding weekend with Emily – another duo surprisingly hooked up, much to the glee of audience members: Monica and Chandler. Their relationship would evolve as the complete opposite of Ross and Rachel's: long-kept secret from the other roommates, and healthy and strong until the series ended with them married, parents of adopted twins.

It’s like discovering a whole new movie, or seeing snippets of something that could have been. Sometimes you can easily see why the scenes were cut from the final product, and they make you wonder if their inclusion would have changed your overall view on the final film.

I have to admit it: I watch Shark Tank religiously. Every Friday, instead of going out, I turn on my television and glue my eyes to the show, sometimes humming along to the Jaws-like music. I Hate Religious People. I hate Religious People. Some people call them “fanatics” but that word is misleading. When I think of fanatics, I think of nutty guys waving flags and yelling in tongues at everyone they disagree with.
But these Religious People are much more insidious than that. They live in all communities, within every belief system, and can sometimes seem just as normal as you or me on the outside.

Yesterday I read an article in which Chris Brown discussed the age at which he lost his virginity.
He was 8, he says, and the girl was 14 or 15. He mentions that in “the country” he and his cousins watched a lot of porn, so by age 8 he was “hot to trot.” Maybe so. Children can have sexual feelings at 8, but whether they can consent to sex at age 8 is an entirely different subject. Sex at age 8 is rape, especially given the fact that the girl involved was significantly older, a teenager. Amy Poehler: “Take Your Licks” Boy Writes To Deadliest Man, Gets Response.
