Hey Lawyers
Unfortunately the education to understand those is costly, especially for the non attorney. My favorite contracts were with an American guy living in Italy who made tooling for us. He insisted that every contract have a plain English preamble that explained what we were trying to accomplish before we turned it over to the attorneys. We never had a problem with his company, but I always wondered what a judge would have said about that preamble. And damn, all this contract talk and I just spent 30 minutes reviewing a lease contract and what we can and can't do. LOL this place jinxed me.

2010-2011 NBA Thread
The way the Heat put their team together really pisses me off. It will be really easy for me to just not pay any attention to the NBA for many seasons.

You may think that was an evil baseball. Balta would disagree. Finishing that game after 1 am is kind of crazy.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ May 24, 2011 -> 06:07 PM) Thanks for the advice. All the material will be original. Is there a place where I can get that bolded part written out in legalese? Just a side note, once I understood that "legalese" was actually "precise and exact" I understood it much better. It isn't as much as having a magic language, but having an exact language that eliminates uncertainty (loop holes, and ways out). It helps your attorney (paid or unpaid) if you can tell him the exact protections you want and what the potential disagreements may be. It's the difference between I am doing X and want protection and I am doing X and I want to make certain Y doesn't do this, or this, or this. It's quite beautiful thing, a well written contact can read a beautifully as a sonnet when it does what you want it to do. Miss something and you'd think Steven King became your attorney. Oh yeah, and when you can help your attorney to be more efficient, when you are paying, it costs much less.

Ozzie vs Soxtalk
QUOTE (iamshack @ May 22, 2011 -> 06:56 PM) Oh come on, Tex...we are going to take the word of posters on soxtalk for evidence that they have outperformed Ozzie and Kenny at their jobs? That is ridiculously absurd and a completely ignorant conclusion. Why not take the word of the people who post here? I wouldn't post here if I felt everyone, or even the vast majority of posters, lied.

Retain or Promote
So I have a dilemma. One student, who is failing my class because he doesn't turn in assignments, doesn't pay attention in class, etc. passed the state test. I use to believe that if the state set a standard and a kid met the standard he should pass. Who am I to set a higher standard of knowledge, and in the end it should be knowledge of history.

This Just In
QUOTE (farmteam @ May 21, 2011 -> 11:17 AM) But those jobs probably have way less of a "cover up" culture than the Church did/does, meaning it didn't all explode at once. Also, in those jobs I think there's a bit less of the "one on one" you can have as a Priest, as well as the inherent level trust parents have in you (or at least it used to be that way, before all the scandals). Yeah, a doctor also has plenty of one on one time and an inherent level of trust...but there's way more exhaustive and expensive training to be a doctor than training to be a priest. Schools, Scouts, sports teams all covered up these reports to "spare the child". Today, it is just easier to point to a single national or international organization like the Catholic Church or the Boy Scouts than schools and sports teams across the nation. But going way back, the whole culture covered this up. The most common was "a funny uncle" families were, and still are, reluctant to report abuse. I am glad that is changing.

And they volunteer as sport coaches, Scout leaders, help out at youth centers, etc. They take on jobs ranging from Doctor to school janitor.
