I've tried searching on the internet but with little success - I've never done anything like this before and don't know how to start - any tips? - I need to find a reputable supplier and want to start in a relatively small way.

I left my debit card in my purse in our apartment. Before I even knew it was gone, my roomate hands it to me and explains that she "borrowed" it to get a Blockbuster Rental pass. In order to get the rental pass, you have to have a credit or debit card on file. Nothing was charged to my account because she paid cash, but if she dosn't pay the monthly fee, they will charge my debit card. Given her history of not paying bills, I don't want my card associated with anything she owes. I tried to get her to remove my card number from her account and she refused. I tried blockbuster, the manager said there was nothing they could do unless she put another card number on file, or I had proof that it was stolen. He said that there was a signature on file, so I know she ran it like a credit card so she wouldn't have to know my pin. What can I do? If I go to my bank and explain will they stop charges from blockbuster to my account?

I have been in the event marketing and sales promotions industry for over 8 years. I have worked both the brand and client side of the business and done exceptionally well.I have been fortunate enough to represent some of the biggest and best brand in the world. Now I am now opening my own boutique agency and have tons of contacts that I could potentially get business from. My question is how should I go about presenting my agency and it's capabilities to the potential clients that I have identified that I do not have a wrok history or relationship with? Any AEs out there feel free to offer me any advice that you have. Thanks!!!

The house is in his name. He doesn't have a life insurance policy or 401k or any real assets to speak of. He's divorced and pays child-support for his three children and we won't be having children together.
What happens to my children and me if he should die?

To limit liability, I have suggested that a group with which I am involved register with the state as a non-profit corporation. Going through the complications of 501(c)(3) status isn't important for us. We don't have employees, or any assets other than, potentially, a bank account. The main objection is that we would have to file a tax return. I doubt this would be terribly involved. I can't get an answer on what type of tax return we would need to use. Would we use one for a regular corporate tax return since we're not a 501(c)(3)? How complicated are these returns? We probably bring in $5,000 or less per year from donations and fundraisers.

I'm a fashion designer that has a design collection that is not being focused on simply because it's not at the point of bringing in an income and I need money to pay my bills- in another words survive. My collection is extremely well responded to and is wanting to explode, but because I'm too busy freelancing to bring in the income, the collection is not doing what it should. I've started a business plan and know aprox. how much it would cost to get this thing going. My main issue is that I need an income of some kind. Even if it's a small one. Help! I've been working as a Designer for 6 years and I'm feeling a little resigned, yet I can't imagine doing anything else for a living.

There are alot of tech schools out there but some are too expensive and others seem too cheap or unreliable.
I'm looking for a school that is alittle well known or is away from the "stranger" or "unknown" radar.

Devry is not on my list. I've tried but things didn't work out during the registration. (Something about the US military and Devry and money problems.)

I'm looking for a college with small size classes (not those jumble size stadium ones), and one that will actually "TEACH" you the things you need to know.
I don't want to do this multiple times for a CIS degree. I want to go to a reliable school.

I prefer "Hand-ons" so online classes is out of the question. I heard going online is not the best idea for CIS degree let alone any IT degree.

Please help. Im in great need of help.

I am 19, working full time at a resturant and saving up. I currently live in Florida with my mom and am trying to "leave the nest". So I want to live in another state. My eyes are set on Ohio but I am unsure if its a good place for an IT job or not. I know Florida is booming but it's just not the place for me.
My Brother lives in Ohio so I wanted to live there or any STATE around it. I just want to be nearby for him.
Can anyone help me?

In real estate, once a buyer signs closing docs, the closing docs authorize the bank to transfer fund to the seller, right? The buyer has no right to tell the bank not to fund the money, right? Thanks.

I'm about to leave my current job and I don't want my current employees to know any thing about my new job because personally I really don't trust them. But can anyone tell me how I should handle it if they ask me where am I moving to. I thought a simple, "I would like to keep that information private would be fine." What do you think?
