Pre-Paid Legal national spotlight

2008-02-07T12:50:20Z

Pre-Paid Media Spotlight Event

JUSTICE FOR ALL | ACCESSING THE PROMISE

I am
very excited to announce that on February 16th, Pre Paid Legal will be
featured on Tru TV.

This documentary about Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. will find an audience
with those interested in a revolutionary solution to the growing problem of
limited access to justice. The program will be informational and educational in
nature and provide a glimpse into our unique company and the services we
provide.

Far from a typical documentary which focuses on something interesting but may
have little direct impact on the individuals viewing it, this program will
address needs that most people have.

Most people who do not have access to legal counsel will simply accept their
circumstances and go on. When the credit card company charges unfair fees, when
your cell phone service provider is unreasonable, or when an invoice is higher
than quoted, what can we do but pay and go on?

In many cases, and for most people, it’s not about whether we will absolutely
have to have an attorney. It’s more about whether having an attorney could make
a difference through empowering us to make better decisions, resolve conflicts,
and have peace of mind. This program will address this concept and much
more.

We hope you will tune in to Tru T.V. on February 16th. Please check local
listings for program availability in your area.

The Chuck Baker Home Page?

2008-01-09T17:19:10Z

Evidently Tripod.com is having some problems at the moment. The ChuckBaker.org site is having problems coming up. And Tripod.com won't load either.

As most of you know The Chuck Baker Home Page is hosted by Tripod. I usually don't have a problem with them. It is probably just a case of them getting a lot of traffic at this time.

If you have tried to access http://ChuckBaker.org and can't get the page to load please try back later.

another Hard Drive Crash.

2007-12-19T05:43:52Z

Well I had another Hard Drive Crash but it wasn't system critical. I had an old internal drive that I was using as an external drive and it was mostly for doing backups.

It gave me some problems in the past so I didn't want it to be part of the internal system just in case it went dead and it finally has.

Although it does have some things that I would like to recover. But that can wait. I have been looking at my options for recovering faulty drives. I could send them out and have the work done but that is pricey.

I have been considering trying to do the work myself. But finding the software, Tools, And hardware parts could turn out to be just as costly.

But anyway. Like I said that can wait. I still have a lot of memory on this thing and now that the faulty hard drive has been taken offline the system even runs faster.

Another computer

2007-09-29T01:04:16Z

Well last friday my computer motherboard bit the big one so I went out and picked me up a new Compaq from Wal-Mart and I have been adding hard drives and learning the windws Vista.

It has some neat stuff on it but some of my programs don't run too well on Vista so I am going to reload XP and have another dual boot system.

So I am a little behind on my email so if I don't respond to your emails right away now you know the reason.

Update on Allen Lee

2007-05-23T17:49:50Z

Well it is official. The charges of disorderly conduct against Allen Lee have been dropped. For the full store check out this link:

Allen Lee

2007-05-02T08:28:32Z

I haven't written in this blog for awhile but I have been reading what has been happening with Allen Lee and I have expressed my opinion in a soap box article on my website (http://ChuckBaker.org) but I feel that more should be said about this issue.

For those of you that may not have heard, Allen Lee a straight "A" high school student was arrested after he turned in an essay that was assigned in his creative writing class. He followed instructions when he was told to write down anything that came to mind and not to do any self sensor ship in the process.

He turned in his essay and his teacher read it and was disturbed by it. She took it to the principle who read it and was disturbed by it and the principle took it to other teachers for review. It was decided that the police should be called and Allen Lee was arrested on 2 counts of disorderly conduct. A misdemeanor punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a $1,500 fine.

I know with all the school shootings and what happened at Virginia tech people are afraid but that shouldn't be an excuse to abandon common sense

The school officials were wrong in what they did. I am not saying that the writing should have been ignored but they could have called the parents and the student in to find out what was going on. But instead out of fear they called the police.

What I find disturbing is that in a country where we are supposed to have freedom of speech you can be arrested because someone doesn't like what you write.

So who did Allen Lee hurt? From what I have read he has never hurt anyone. Has he been hurt? Let's see. He faces jail and a fine and his Marine career is over before it even got started. Seems to me that he and his family are the ones that have been hurt.

Seems to me that the school officials did more harm to Allen Lee then he did to anyone. The poor judgment of these officials may have cost him his future.

Over the years schools have gained more and more power over the way students are disciplined and in some cases even going as far as telling parents how they should be raising their kids at home. Maybe the problem has to do more with the schools then with the students

New things on the website

2006-10-18T07:47:09Z

I have added some new things to the website. There is a new program in the downloads section and there is also a new soapbox topic

This is a test

2006-10-18T05:52:18Z

I am testing out this windows live writer beta program. I wanted to see just what it would do as compared to the LiveJournal client that I normally use.

I don't see any place to input emotions or what music your listening too like the LiveJournal client but it might be OK for making quick notes to your blog.

Also it is still in the beta stage so more improvements could be made.

A new posting.

2006-08-31T23:19:01Z

Well I have some news. I got a call about my laptop computer the other day. It will take about $700.00 to repair it. But I do consider it worth it. I like that machine.

Also, I deleted a few programs from the download section of my website: http://ChuckBaker.org McAfee siteAdvisor found to programs that might have a virus or adware in them so I took them down.

About my business. I took a little time off and have only been doing my weekends at the nursing home but now with the extra expense of my laptop repair it is time to get back in gear and get things down.

As for family matters: The kids always are having problems and that can be upsetting to us but we do the best we can to get through it. My mom has been in and out of the hospital a few times this month and that has been a problem since I live so far away from her.

So, August has been a stressful month for me. Hopefully September will be better.

The laptop

2006-08-01T07:27:46Z

Well just went I got this desktop computer working the way I wanted it to the laptop computer's motherboard goes out on me. So now I'm not mobile any more.

I will be taking it in for repair today and that is going to be expensive. But I will make it happen.

I haven't added anything new to the web site in awhile now. I have been busy with this computer here. But I have noticed and increase in visitor lately

I just picked me up the first season of the "Knight Rider" TV series and I may get season 2 tomorrow. I always did like that show even though it was a little cheesy.

Incompetent Hacker

2006-06-22T13:36:45Z

Seems that someone with a lot of time on their hands wanted to try and crash my home system. Well they FAILED!!!!

What probably took them hours to come up with only took me about 30 minutes (or less) to fix.

And even if they would have gotten luck and taken my system down it would have been only a minor inconvenience as my backups have backups.

Here shortly I am going to redo my system because there have been some software cliches that might have let this child gain access.

I understand that children must play. And I also know that there is no way to have a 100% secure system. So these little annoyances are expected.

Better luck next time kid

80 more visitors

2006-05-30T00:42:16Z

Just 80 more visitors and The Chuck Baker Home Page will hit the 3000 mark. I looked at some old versions of the site recently and it has come a long way.

As for me........ Things aren't too bad. My business is slowly growing and I am filling in some at the nursing home because they are short handed (normal for a nursing home) and I am keeping busy.

First week of July we are planning a trip to Illinois to see family and I am planning on making it a working trip so I can get the tax breaks.

Not much going on other then that. Hope everyone is having a great holiday :)

Recent Events

2006-05-26T05:22:18Z

I have been putting in some extra hours at the nursing home because the evening shift has been short staffed.

My Administrator at the nursing home knows that I a Pre-Paid Legal independent associate and she asked me if I would do a presentation there since the cooperation doesn't want to do payroll deductions any longer so I will be starting up a new group next month.

I am getting ready for Las Vegas in September. Pre-Paid legal has a leadership summit there every September and the international conference was so phenomenal I can hardly wait to go. :)

So, Things are looking up. Have to keep the momentum going.
