Being a Baton Rouge lawyer, life has been pretty busy since hurricane Katrina hit. I am a trial lawyer, specializing in insurance claims and real estate, so you can only imagine how hectic things have gotten down here. Much of the surrounding area has been destroyed, and because it is a so-called “act of God”, the insurance companies don’t want to give a penny. The aid of a good Baton Rouge lawyer like yours truly can help, but ultimately, things have been pretty dismal for a lot of poor folks who lost their homes.

Real estate is another area where there has been a big increase in the need for a Baton Rouge lawyer. Down here, there has been so much devastation from the flooding that property lines are often destroyed. People want to make sure that their houses are rebuilt using fair property markers, so they hire a Baton Rouge lawyer. Meanwhile, my firm has also been doing a considerable amount of business with the real estate developers, who have been hired to rebuild whole neighborhoods together, and need the services of a Baton Rouge lawyer who is familiar with local law to help streamline negotiation of the red tape.

Our firm itself suffered considerable damage as a result of hurricane Katrina, both in lost hours of work, and in structural damage to our offices, so all of us are pressured to suddenly be working 60 or more hours a week! The reason I became a Baton Rouge lawyer in the first place, instead of setting up in somewhere more central and lucrative like New Orleans, or even New York, is because I didn’t need the high pressure of working those kinds of work weeks. It is simply to much to do. I love being a Baton Rouge lawyer, but I love to relax and spend time with my family too. I don’t believe that your career should be your whole life.

If things continue as they have been, I won’t continue being a Baton Rouge lawyer for much longer. The town has already changed so much, and the federal agencies in charge of rebuilding have done nothing to ensure that things stay the same. People have been moving away in droves, and it just doesn’t feel like much of my old town is left anymore. I enjoy Louisiana, and I enjoy being a Baton Rouge attorney, but I’m feeling ready to throw in the towel.

Want to make money fast? It’s not tough to find offers to make quick cash, but unfortunately, most of them are scams. The standard make money fast scam started as an email pyramid scheme near the infancy of the internet. The mastermind of the scam went to prison for ten years, and a condition of his parole was to write up a web page denouncing the make money fast scheme. Though the original scam only consisted of a simple pyramid letter; you sent $1 to people high on a list of names and added your name to the bottom. However, today’s “make money fast” scams have gotten quite a bit more complicated.

One of the more common make money fast schemes starts with an ad, either in a newspaper or in an online classifieds, which advertises a job for at-home order processing. You’re assured that some firm, either a consulting firm, law office, or business firm, needs help processing the large number of orders they’ve been receiving. You can do all of the work from home and all you need is a computer with a word processor and a connection to the internet. Not only that, you get paid by the order and you can make hundreds of dollars a week! It sounds great, so you send in your resume or give them a call. You’re assured that the job is still open, that you’re a great candidate, and that you don’t need any prior experience. Sounds great! The only hitch is that you need to send in a “processing fee” or “training fee” of $10-$100 in order to start the job.

This is where you should start feeling like things are a bit fishy. How many job interviews have you gone to where the employer says “we love you for the position, but you need to pay me $10 first?” This should be just as suspicious. For your money you’ll receive a word document or an email telling you how to repost the same job openings and propagate the scam.

If you really want to make money fast, the best way to do it is to pick up small, for-cash jobs. Check around internet classifieds (craigslist.com is particularly good for this) for people who have one-time, odd job sorts of gigs. If you’re willing to move boxes or clean out garages you can make money fast, in cash, and usually paid under the table, and if you have cash in hand you know you’re not getting scammed by someone hundreds of miles away.

Exercise trends come and go. Many programs fade away into oblivion while others stand the test of time. Buns of Steel is a fantastic workout that has managed to help many women stay in shape for well over a decade. The Buns of Steel workout is a unique program that targets the legs and rear end.

The workout begins, of course with a nice warm-up but Tammy Webb uses an approach that was not common among exercise gurus of the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. She started with the aerobic portion of the routine.

Before Buns of Steel, most (if not all) exercise programs saved the aerobic activity for the end of the program. Anyone who has combined targeted muscle workouts with aerobic activity will tell you that saving aerobics for last will leave you sloppy and tired. You will be more likely to lose form and “go through the motions” rather than maximizing your exercise routine.

I know that after many of my workouts with Jane Fonda, I felt as if my legs had turned to jell-o by the time that the aerobic part of the routine was partially completed. I didn’t use my full range of motion and I definitely did not reap the full benefits that an hour-long exercise routine should offer.

After working out with Jane Fonda, I decided that I wasn’t going to use the bulimic approach to exercise. Once I saw an advertisement for Buns of Steel, I knew that this was the program for me. It targeted my areas of concern while strengthening and toning all of the muscles of the body.

Tammy Webb is also a wonderful instructor who explains why squats are so very important. She illustrates that you are utilizing the biggest muscles in your body by doing squats and she explains how this benefits you while you are completing the Buns of Steel routine.

I learned that the best approach to any exercise program is to begins with a warm-up, go into your fat-burning cardio portion of the routine while you still have energy and save the isometric holds for the latter part of the Buns of Steel workout. This segues beautifully into my favorite part of any exercise workout; the cool-down.

Buns of Steel is not the only workout program I use. I have a collection of aerobic exercise tapes, Pilates DVDs and even Tae Bo but I do visit Tammy Web and Buns of Steel on regular occasions. I find the workout to be a good staple in my overall fitness regimen.
