Use hot, clean water, making sure all the soap is gone. Soap left in the loofah could begin to smell. Put it in a place with good circulation so it can dry completely. Drying it out will prevent bacteria from forming inside the loofah. Store your loofah on a hook outside of the shower.  Placing it near a vent or fan can also help it dry out quickly. Since many bathrooms stay humid, you might want to dry the loofah in a different room. You can run it through a hot wash cycle with your towels, run it through the dishwasher, microwave it for 30 seconds, or boil it in hot water for several minutes to kill any bacteria that might be growing. No matter what method you use, do it at least once a week to make sure the loofah stays healthy for use.  Dermatologists have recently found that loofahs tend to harbor more bacteria than previously thought. That's why it's important to sanitize your loofah often.  The same holds true for plastic bath poufs. Even though they aren't made from natural materials, they can still harbor bacteria. After this much time the loofah will be starting to fall apart from use and runs through the washer or boiling water. If you haven't been sanitizing your loofah, it's no longer safe for use after three weeks. Either way, time to get a new loofah.  Many people have recently switched to using washcloths, since they're easier to run through the washer and they last much longer than loofahs.

You will select jurors from the pool of available jurors called into court on any given day. To identify good jurors, the lawyers will ask them questions, in a process called “voir dire.”  You will want to identify jurors who are prejudiced against your case. Some jurors may fear that a large verdict for you will impact their ability to secure medical care.  Your attorney can draw out prejudices by asking jurors if they or a family member have studied medicine, if they know of someone who has brought a medical malpractice suit, and whether they have had any particularly good or bad experiences with doctors or hospitals.  Alternatively, you may present the case to the judge. In a normal trial, the judge decides questions of law and the jury decides facts. But you have the option of using the judge to determine the facts as well. One study showed that you are twice as likely to win a bench trial as a jury trial.  Generally, both parties must agree to a bench trial. If one party requests a jury, then there typically is a jury trial. In the opening statement, your attorney highlights the evidence he will present. Opening statements are not evidence themselves. Rather, they provide a sneak peek as to what evidence will be presented.  An effective opening statement will get to the point (fifteen minutes or less) but also tell a narrative. Your attorney should also disclose “bad facts” in the opening statement. A bad fact is anything the defense would want to bring to the jury’s attention because it makes the defense case much stronger. For example, your failure to follow your doctor’s prescribed treatment is a bad fact. By disclosing bad facts first, your attorney can take the sting out of them. As the plaintiff, you will present evidence first. You will call and examine witnesses and get records admitted into evidence.  You will be called as a witness, to testify as to what you remember about the treatment you received from your doctor as well as about the injury you suffered. You will be limited to testifying about what you saw, heard, and physically felt. You cannot testify that you believe your doctor’s treatment was negligent. Your attorney will also call an expert witness. The expert will testify as to what treatment a competent doctor would have given in the situation, and then she will compare your doctor’s treatment to that standard. Unlike a lay witness, an expert may offer an opinion, i.e., that your doctor’s treatment fell below the required standard of care. Your attorney will have the opportunity to cross-examine the defense’s witnesses. Your attorney will try to impeach the witness with a prior inconsistent statement or otherwise try to show gaps in the witness’s testimony. Your attorney will also question the defense expert witness. He will try to undermine the expert by questioning his credentials and by asking him about the fee he will be paid for testifying. Your lawyer may also try to impeach the expert through use of an expert treatise that contradicts the testimony given by the expert. The closing argument is your lawyer’s chance to explain how the evidence presented should command a result in your favor.  In a bench trial, the court will often request that the attorneys write briefs. These are legal arguments, which cite to the evidence presented as well as to the controlling legal authority. In a jury trial, the jury will retire for deliberations. In about half of all states, jury verdicts for civil trials do not have to be unanimous. Instead, a plaintiff can prevail if 10 out of 12 jurors decide for her.

Snowboards are usually measured from tip to tip in centimeters. To size a board, place the tip on the ground and stand the board up to your face. -- the top of the board should reach your chin. However, there are a lot of benefits buying a shorter or longer boards. In general, shorter boards are more maneuverable and longer boards are more stable and can go faster.  Beginners should choose a board on the longer end -- one that reaches their nose when stood up, for example. Heavier riders should consider slightly longer boards to distribute their weight. On the back of every board is a weight classification, so get the right board for your body. If you're too heavy you could break the board, too light and you will have trouble maneuvering. The width of a board needs to fit your body, and most people will be fine with a normal board width of 246-255 millimeters. Your snowboarding boots should barely hang over the edges of the board when you stand on it, with no more than an inch of your toes and heels sticking out on either side. Generally, those with a US men's size 11 or US women's size 11.5 shoe and larger should get a "wide" board (250+ millimeters).  If your foot is smaller then a men's 7 or a women's 9 you should choose a narrow board (235-245 millimeters). There are 2 main snowboard bases, both start by being pieces of plastic:   Extruded The pieces are melt together, is less dense and less porous which makes it slower but easier to maintain.  Sintered The pieces are pressed together, which makes it more porous and dense. It's faster and more durable.
