I have been a dedicated employee. A situation arose at work and I was suspended pending an internal investigation. I was told that I wasn't allowed to speak to any other employee and they were all informed that they were not allowed to speak to me. No communication, not even after work. They are assuming that I violated that rule and they terminated me. I was told that this was the specific reason I was being fired. Is that legal in the state of Texas? I think I have an EEOC case. From what I have read, I have a discrimination/disparate case. I think that my HR department agrees because they offered me a severence package of $3000 plus six weeks of paychecks if I signed an agreement not to take legal action. I told them I would signed if the terms were changed to $15,000 plus 12 weeks of pay and benefits. Does anyone know if I have a leg to stand on?

Mitchell is on the board of the Boston Red Sox....what a coincidence none of their players are listed and so many yankees and former yankees are HIGHLIGHTED. Shouldn't they have found someone not involved in major league baseball to hold an "outside" or "removed" inverstigation.

I'm just starting out in photography. I have taken a few senior pictures with a Canon Rebel SLR and I really like using the telephoto lens while doing so. However, I'm obviously no expert and need some advice. What would be the best way to set up homemade backdrops in my home to make a 'yearbook' looking picture? What are the best lenses to use? Should I consider using a filter? Also, I take sports pictures and gyms are the hardest places to take pictures at. What is the best way to get clear action shots that aren't dark, and blurry? Any other words of random advice would be wonderful! (Especially things that helped you when you were starting off)

I am a beginner at drawing. I am naturally right handed Here are my questions, all somewhat related:
1)Will it make a difference if I use my left hand or right hand?
2)Will it make a difference if I use my left or right eye (to the exclusion of the other)?
3)Which is more important: which eye I use, or which hand I use? Or does neither matter?
4)Does handedness (or eye that I choose) affect imaginative drawing more than observational drawing?
5)Will using my left hand in general cause my right brain to be stimulated and therefore more developed and better overall at its functions?

I observed that I can sometimes draw more detail from an observational drawing when I use my LEFT hand, but I think this may be because I have more control over my RIGHT hand and using the LEFT hand causes me to slow down and be slightly more observant. I don't know though.

6)Should I just forget about all of this and just draw?

Although I have gone on maybe two dates in my entire life, I feel that it may be time to give it a try again now that I will have some more time. I haven't tried it since I was 23 years old about 5 years ago. It's pretty scary getting back into the "game" but it is kind of exciting as well. I still have a lot to look forward to: my first girlfriend, my first kiss etc. While some people tell me I have started much too late, I have so much more to look forward to than they do. I also have a lot to offer a woman! I am employed full time, I am educated, I am secure financially and I live at home with my parents and other adult siblings, which indicates that I am a family man :-) . The question I have though is this: Why do I encounter so much jealousy regarding my situation? More people actually mock it than respect it. I don't want praise but I don't understand the mockery, especially from girls my age. Clearly they are jealous for some reason or they wouldn't make the comments.

My stepmom is a HUGE sap and has been a huge help during a very difficult time my mom and I are having (my mom is very sick with cancer)
Our relationship kind of follows that of the movie "Stepmom" yes, dramatic, but true.

I can't think of anything to get her for christmas...I know it needs to come from the heart but the clock is ticking and some ideas would be very helpful.
Thank you!!!

I'm 25 and I have huge student loan. I moved home after university, and found a job I really enjoy (I can see myself doing this for the rest of my life). However the job is only part-time, I can not get full time status until the company I work for "gets to know me". So my plan was to live at home, help pay the bills, and put as much money on my loan as possible. But my Mother recognizes no privacy. She still treats me like a child. She goes through my bank transaction slips, goes through my room, looks at anything that I keep private, asks nosy questions, and tries to influence my career decisions. I ignore her, but she knows people I work with, and she uses them as pawns to get me to make career decisions that she would have made. When I have talked to her, argued with her, or ignored her, we have huge fights, or she plays a guilt trip on me. I have thought about moving out to the city, but then I would lose everything I have worked for, and enjoy. What do I do?
