Tips to sticking with a New Year’s resolution: part one
As people place their holiday decorations in storage, they drag out another yearly custom: the dogged declaration of New Year’s resolutions. Most individuals have a few things they’d like to change about themselves or goals they’d like to achieve, and the first day of a new year seems like an ideal time to start. Then their determination melts like Christmas snow without leaving behind any trace of having been there.

Atypical Lawyer
In 3011, the body of a lawyer was found. It wasn’t just any lawyer, however. It was the body of the civil rights advocate, constitutional law scholar, and Internet attorney, Phillip Heartman.
One thousand years earlier, Heartman had been diligently working at a contraption once referred to as a desk, in front of a primitive computer, when a tsunami overtook his office. The lawyer quickly realized what was happening and took refuge in his titanium-plated hyperbaric oxygen chamber. He had it on hand for those days when he felt like he just couldn’t get away from his problems – emergency protection was a side-benefit.

New dairy teaches students about real life
As the weather in our state during these next few months seems to turn more like conditions you would expect more so in the northern regions of our country, my thoughts often return back to the days at the barn when I was growing up on our family dairy farm in Middle Tennessee.

Snow and the pot bellied stove
As I placed the log into the black cast iron stove, I watched the orange sparks rise up from the burning embers within its belly in grandma’s parlor.
I often stood at its front, hopeful that it would make me feel warmer. It usually did, at least on the one side, until I turned and let the other warm.?
Case Digests: Tennesse Court of Appeals Syllabus
Mitchell Dwayne Gentry v. Jerica Renae Gentry.
Hamilton County – In this divorce case after lengthy trial, the trial court designated the mother as the primary residential parent, awarded the mother alimony, child support and attorney’s fees. The father appealed, asking the trial court be reversed on the award of primary care, and the alimony award to the mother. The mother appeals the issue of whether the father was entitled to appeal, since he had been held in contempt of court. Upon consideration of the issues, we affirm the Judgment of the trial court.

Birds and snow
It’s the end of the world.” – Man in diner from the movie “The Birds.”
As Chevy Chase might have said to us on a Saturday evening back in the seventies – “Our top story tonight!” (And I can still see Garrett Morris screaming the headlines to the hearing impaired).

Whatever happened to Horace?
Where is Horace Rumpole when you need him most?
The barrister whose cases and antics entertained me (and millions of others) on PBS’s “Mystery” series for many years is not on the airwaves in these parts anymore.
Horace was a man after the heart of any street lawyer.

Let’s go to the show …
New Year’s resolutions are a great thing. They allow us a sort of “do-over” on our backslidings of the past year and a chance to change for the better. Yet, these resolutions are just as hard to keep in the new year sometimes because we go into them too strictly and are thus doomed to fail. This is why little treats like those from “The Ice Cream Show” are good to indulge upon to keep resolutions palatable.

“Burial for a King: Martin Luther King Jr’s Funeral and the Week That Transformed Atlanta and Rocked the Nation”
In days of old, when someone messed with a King, he was usually thrown in the dungeon without trial or jury. Justice was swift and mercy was rare.
That’s because, oftentimes, the King held things together. Loved or hated, he was a force to be reckoned with. He had power and powerful friends, and messing with him wasn’t advised. On that subject, little has changed through the centuries, as you’ll see in “Burial for a King” by Rebecca Burns.

UTC Speech and Theatre students to perform riotous bedroom farce
For some people, going to the theater is a cerebral experience. The more complex and challenging the material, the better they feel about buying a ticket. Others attend plays simply to be entertained. If they laugh, cry and enjoy a song or two, then their money was well spent.

Real Estate Facts
Expose yourself
There is much debate among real estate professionals about the value of holding an Open House. Some insist these events help get the house sold. Others argue it’s an outdated practice in the digital age of virtual tours. However, it’s been estimated that nearly half of all buyers who visit open houses first learned about them on the Internet.
Kay's Cooking Corner
Chicken Noodle Soup
Chicken is a staple in the American diet: chicken nuggets, fried chicken to go, chicken salad, General Tso’s Chicken (who is he anyway), chicken soup to eat, chicken soup to read, popcorn chicken, chicken pot pie – you name it, America has it!
About thirty years ago, the first thing to do to eat a chicken was to raise your own, which took about six months. After spending half the day catching the bird, there was the ruthless ritual of killing and cleaning it, which I won’t go into! Luckily, we can run down to the store and get exactly what we need.
The Critic's Corner
“True Grit”
When it comes to Joel and Ethan Coen, brothers who have been making movies together since the ‘80s, I always go in expecting to see something at least a little off center. Even when they’ve connected with a mass audience, as they did with “Fargo,” “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” and “No Country for Old Men,” their attraction to eccentric characters, dark humor and irony remain intact.
