I grew up not fearing old age
by Sour Grapes inas a teenage jw, i grew up believing that i was not going to finish high school nor would i get old and have to die like my grandparents did.
well, i did finish high school, as did my children and my grandchildren and old age has not been kind to me.
i don't like to look at pictures from 40 years ago, from a time when i was healthy and i had the goal of "stay alive till 75.

<<<< I don't like to look at pictures from 40 years ago, from a time when I was healthy and I had the goal of "stay alive till 75." The aging of the human body makes one unrecognizable even though you know it was you.>>>>
While aging is inevitable, poor health isn't. Proper nutrition and exercise are the fountain of youth.
I've been eating right and exercising regularly since high school. As a result, I still look pretty much the same as I did in college (uh, with an added wrinkle or two, and with a little more muscle). I still do the same active, athletic activities I've always done, and physically, I feel as good as I did in my 20s.
You're never too old to start. The best way to go about it is get a physical to make sure that it's ok for you to exercise vigorously, and then get yourself a trainer, preferably someone that looks like they take steroids (because they tend to know how to do the exercises right). Get some books on nutrition, but the simple way to look at it is that you need protein and carbs in every meal; at least 20 grams of protein per meal. Above that, eat like an animal. If it comes in a box, can or jar, it most likely wouldn't be available to animals in the natural habitat, and therefore, it should not be part of your diet.
Don't think you can't do it. You can. Replace the excuses with effort and you'll discover the fountain of youth!

<<<< LOL! Well 144,001, nothing says "cocky student" like fully admitting to mistakes, as I did! Nothing say "cocky student" like posting disclaimers saying I don't know CA. law and haven't researched certain subjects! Ya got me there! ; )>>>>>
Indeed. And nothing says "cocky student" like continuing to put your foot in your mouth, as you have done here. You have chosen to represent yourself as an authority, based on the premise that you are a law student. You have also made certain statements about the law that were incorrect. You didn't qualify your statements that you hadn't researched them; rather, you simply presented them as facts that we all should accept since you're a law student and therefore know more than the rest of us. You don't. And you proved that on this forum. Yet you have the audacity to now make ignorant statements about my background, despite the fact that you know absolutely nothing about me. You are indeed a cocky student, and you will indeed learn some big lessons.
I will provide references to legal authority for anything I've stated here that you care to challenge, Justitia. Put up, or shut up.

Desirous,
It's customary in law and motion proceedings for the moving and opposing parties to file and serve proposed orders on the motion. Courts are lazy, and expect the parties to write their orders for them. The court will simply take the proposed order, cross out the word "proposed," and anything else the court deems inapplicable, add what the court wants to add to it, and sign it.
It's easy to get confused over this because of the title of the document and its contents.
You might have been premature in your expectations, but I think your expectations are likely to become reality next week. We'll see.

<<<< Earlier, I had posted that I thought he was an attorney. After reviewing his posts in greater detail, I no longer think so, and I didn't want anyone giving his opinions extra veritas based upon my prior statement.>>>>
Get over yourself, Justitia. The reality is, you're not a lawyer, you know very little about the law and have made materially false statements about the law on this forum, and now you are purporting to be qualified as the judge of whether others have a legal background.
You were wrong when you stated that Conti would only get to keep 25% of the punitive damages awarded, and I corrected you. You foolishly relied upon a treatise in expressing a false statement of the law. A lawyer would know that one must check the validity of authority cited in a treatise before relying on it, but you're no lawyer, you're just a cocky student who wants others to believe that you actually know the law.
Your personal attacks were unprovoked, and illustrative of your low self esteem and shallow ego.
You have a lot to learn . . .

by Terry inwe all have somebody we are crazy about that almost everybody can't stand.. if you mention their name your companions give you that "look" (ya know the one, like you just got caught picking your nose!).

<<<<As a result, the Court denied both requests by the WTS, and the WTS must post a cash bond (or bond from an insurance company) for the full amount of the judgement. This round surely did NOT go the way of the WTS.>>>>
This is not accurate. The Court has not heard the motion yet, and, accordingly, has not rendered any decision.
Nevertheless, Conti's argument is sound. The relevant statutes do not support the WTBTS's position on this motion. Their only hope is to find a case that they can cite as authority to alllow the property substitution they seek.
I don't have the time to spend hours researching this, but I did take a quick look and found no case authority to support a WTBTS rebuttal of the Conti opposition. The WTBTS lawyers have lots of resources at their disposal. If the authority exists, they will find it. I doubt it does. From a strategic standpoint, if such authority existed, it would have been wise to cite it in the moving papers, rather than in the reply papers. It's wise to anticipate the opposition argument, and preempt it by addressing it in the moving papers, thereby taking the wind out of the oponent's sails. That didn't hapen here, and I doubt the WTBTS will be able to salvage the motion with their reply.

Conti's opposition papers look pretty solid. Mr. Simons' arguments are sound, and unless the WTBTS can find some case authority to support its position in the reply papers due to be served and filed on 11/6, the WTBTS motion will be denied.
I have access to a very comprehensive legal library for California. After reading the WTBTS moving papers, and the Conti opposition, I spent a brief amount of time researching to attempt to find case authority that the WTBTS could present in reply to Conti's opposition. I found none whatsoever. The WTBTS lawyers will spend far more time on this issue than I did, so it's possible they will find something I overlooked, but based on what I saw in my limited review, I doubt that they will be able to find anything to effectively rebut Conti's opposition.
The motion will most likely be denied.
