Featured Story: BETTER STORAGE MEANS BETTER COFFEE October 22, 2013 |
 Ever wonder why gourmet and specialty coffee shops serve the best and, not to mention, the most expensive cups of coffee?
It’s a known fact that coffee is best served when it’s at its freshest. Freshness is a big deal especially in the coffee business...

Misdiagnosis or more commonly known as medical practices are costly medical mishaps. Often, these cases occur when a medical professional gives the wrong medical advice or prescribe the wrong drugs or treatment. In many cases, the errors can lead to long-term disability, serious injury and even wrongful death.
Doctors in across the United States have medical malpractice insurance which covers them of liabilities in case of such an eventuality. Victims should know that they too have rights that allow them to sue medical practitioners who committed careless negligence. That is exactly what a famous country singer did on Valentine’s Day.
Lee Ann Rimes filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against her dentist claiming that a recent dental visit resulted in the wrong diagnosis. The dentist allegedly gave her substandard veneers and crowns. The dental procedure led to severe tooth pain, gum inflammation and bleeding.
Because of the malpractice, Rimes is claiming that the dentist botched her singing career citing her ability to perform is significantly compromised. She is seeking general damages, money for wages lost due to her inability to sing and recompense for medical expenses and other emotional and psychological injuries.
The country star is claiming that she had to have multiple root canals, bone grafting and other surgical procedures done to her mouth. She also stated that she had to undergo physical therapy after suffering a permanent cosmetic deficiency. The singer have cancelled all her schedules but is looking to resume performing once re-treatment is complete, albeit with a different dentist.
Unlike other victims of medical malpractice, the incident didn’t result in anything fatal. However, it did have an impact on a great singer's professional career.

Tip: It won't hurt to ask for certain freebies from the SM department store if you are aggrieved due to poor service or misinformation.
On Friday, 15 Feb. 2013 I bought a total of over $100 in clothes and other items for me and the wife to avail of the Valentine's Weekend Sale that should've totalled to about 35%.

On Friday, 15 Feb. 2013 I bought a total of over $100 in clothes and other items for me and the wife to avail of the Valentine's Weekend Sale that should've totalled to about 35%.
Unfortunately, two department managers made the costly mistake of giving me the wrong info that lost for me a small percentage of the promised discount.
After a long apology from management, I insisted that they compensate me for my troubles. They were hesitant at first until I told them that I'm not paying for any of the items.
Management relented and gave me a coupon for a free box of 12 brownies worth $10, discount coupons, extra raffle tickets (which management staff completed at my behest) and full management assistance for the rest of my shopping walk around. Yeah, I guess you could say they made the shopping experience and the hassle worthwhile.

It was so good, I ended up spending $500 in the three-day span that covered the sale period. In the end, one of those raffle tickets won me a 50-inch flat screen TV. Yeah, I'm that blessed.

Valentine’s Day is popular among hopeless romantics to profess their love for their significant others. In fact, each year, many men go down on their knees in the most unique, awkward or lavish of settings to pop that big question: “Will you marry me?” While the act of proposing is seen as a romantic gesture, it actually sets off wedding plans and, of course, legal issues as well.
Experts agree that prior to proposing, a soon-to-be-groom should consider what legal consequences a lifetime commitment such as marriage may bring to the table. Often, it is wise to think about seeing a legal professional first and discuss how a prenuptial agreement may be of benefit in addressing certain concerns.
One such concern is the question of who retains engagement rings once the engagement and the ensuing marriage ends in a break-up or, later, divorce proceedings -- a popular issue often raised by women. Fact is that a lot of couples go to court over this token of love and once symbol of affection.
Weddings aren’t just a big fancy day where couples choose to say their “I dos.” It is also a legal contract that joins together the lives of two individuals and gives them certain legal protections, especially on financial matters. Engagement and wedding rings, as well as other jewelries, are included in a marital financial matter.
In California for example, engagement rings are considered conditional gifts based upon an agreement to marry. The rule is that whoever called the breakup forfeits their claim on the ring. If the breakup is unanimous, the purchaser has entitlement to recover while in an amicable breakup, both parties can discuss or reach a compromise on how to deal with the jewelry.
A prenuptial or a postnuptial agreement may be more useful in divorce proceedings. Once the conditions for gifting the rings have been met and marriage has been established, this becomes a marital property. Without a legally recognized agreement to specify conditions on such assets, the court may order the couple to liquidate and split off the proceeds or it may encourage both to reach an agreement on who takes the ring home.
