There are about 20 people, keeping various types of business like dtp centre, tailoring, civil construction office, financial consultant, book sellers, lawyers office, psychology centre etc in a commercial building at T.Nagar, Chennai. Recently, a man who stayed few days for some interior works going on at constructions office, had mis-behaved and quarrelled with the son of the land lord itseems! So, for the past two weeks, the land lord is locking the main door by 9 pm in the night and unlocking it by 9 am the next day!
Usually, the DTP people, some time used to stay night and finish-up their pending jobs if any in time of urgency. Lawyers, you know very well can start up their job after the court work finishes, usually from 6 pm only. They interact with their clients, giving notes to their juniors and will eventually can extend up to 10 or 10.30 pm. Some time the tailors, due to their committments, had to stay back at their shop to finish up their pending works..& so on with all.

By pulling out are we sending the message that we are not strong enough to win the war against terror? Does that make us more vulnerable to attack?

I have got a problem in which I want you help me solving. It is a question regarding contract law which says:

About 15 miles from Potters Bar, in quiet countryside, there is a clothing factory with its own factory shop. In the shop window there is a notice stating:

"Limited offer, twenty RD23 anti-fit jeans at £30 each. First come, first to buy"

Slinky, who lives in Potters Bar, hears about the notice from friends who have visited the shop. Slinky does not have a car and therefore writes to the shop ordering a pair of RD23 anti-fit jeans. In his letter, Slinky asks if the factory can send him the jeans by courier.

After posting the letter, Slinky decides that he cannot afford to buy the jeans after all. Slinky telephones the shop manger and cancels the order but the shop manager then says that it is too late because Slinky's letter has been posted. The letter arrives next day.

Advise Slinky.

Yours Sincerely
New Lawyer

I did some freelance modeling a while back. However, I wish to gain back the copyrights to my pictures because I realized that one of the photographers who has been shooting me has been posting all images online to the public. However, he had "forgotten" to give me a copy of the contract when we shot (twice). And I've been bugging him for over 2-3 months now, and even though he says he'd be sending me a copy, I never recieved anything. For the past month and a half, he has been avoiding my emails and phone calls. What should I do next to insure I will get a copy of my contract so I know what I'm working with here? Should I just tell him straight up that I'm trying to get my copyrights back or get my hands on the contract first?

Ok so the question was pretty obsurd but I wanted to get some thoughts on this and I figure it was good enough to draw attention. I am not a Bush supporter. I am not a democrat. I am not a republican. I am not conservative or liberal. These terms mean nothing to me and I am sick of hearing people say on the Ask forums that all Bush supporters and red necked a s s holes and all Bush haters are bleeding hard baby killers. I believe and decided on what I want to believe and decide on, I'm not going to let any party of affiliation make me think any different with propaganda, and I think it's silly and immature of everyone on this site to degrade your own intelligence! I DO NOT SUPPORT BUSH! But I know WHY people DO! And sometimes, there are some pretty good reasons. And I'm not about to make them feel stupid for expressing themselves! Lets learn from each other and quit being so selfish and irresponsible! Does ANYONE out there agree with me????

Congressman: Convicted agent's injuries are worse than reported-by Sara Carter (Daily Bulletin)
(Feb 10, WASHINGTON, DC) - An imprisoned former Border Patrol agent who was beaten in his sleep has injuries that are more serious than previously reported, said a congressman on Friday.

Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., met with Ignacio Ramos, who was convicted in March for the nonfatal shooting of a Mexican drug smuggler. Ramos is serving an 11-year sentence at Yazoo Correctional Complex in Mississippi.

Tancredo said he was astonished at the injuries on Ramos' body, which he said did not coincide with reports from the prison earlier this week that described his injuries as "minor."

"His bruises were deep and severe," Tancredo said. "His arm, chest and back are black and blue with broken blood vessels on his arm. It was terrible."

Ramos was beaten Saturday night by roughly a half-dozen inmates who recognized him from a TV show that aired shortly before 10 p.m. He was pulled from his cell, which remains unlocked until midnight, by the inmates and kicked repeatedly by the men who were wearing steel-toed boots. The boots are issued to inmates for their daily work, according to the prison's Web site.

Ramos did not see a doctor until Wednesday, Tancredo said.

The prison's warden, Constance Reese, did not return phone calls for comment.

According to a prison press release, "Ramos was evaluated by medical staff at the institution, who determined he had sustained some bruises and abrasions."

Charles Smith, a spokesman for the institution, also said in the release that Ramos' injuries "were minor in nature."

"Inmate Ramos was subsequently placed in the Special Housing Unit pending a thorough investigation of the incident. He will remain in the Special Housing Unit until the conclusion of this investigation."

Prison officials have interviewed six inmates associated with the assault, Tancredo added. The congressman said he is working to move the former agent to a facility where Ramos will be safe.

Representatives of Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Huntington Beach, visited the facility with Tancredo. Tara Setmayer, Rohrabacher's communications director, said she was astonished at the injuries Ramos sustained.

Setmayer said Reese refused to allow her, or Tancredo, to view photos taken of Ramos the night of the incident or any documents regarding the ongoing investigation into the case.

"To underestimate the seriousness of the assault on (Ramos) is a disingenuous characterization by the prison officials," Setmayer said. "He clearly is the victim of a vicious attack. And the ineptitude demonstrated by prison officials with such a high-profile prisoner is troubling."

Ramos and fellow former agent Jose Compean were convicted of shooting Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila in the buttocks and violating his civil rights. Compean was sentenced to 12 years in an Ohio federal prison.

I'm puzzled that they're always talking about Dems and trees as if it is a bad thing. Why do they hate nature - it's so bizarre? Do they hate everything except money. They also talk constantly about not helping others.

Most of the people I hang with are all college degreed engineers, chemists or IT professionals. Probably 50% are ex-military. Everybody busts their *** at work then goes home to a traditional home life with 2 parents, children, a dog, etc. Probably 99% are repubs and of them probably 75% are conservatives. I only know one or 2 libs out of all of them. So this is my picture of Repubs and conservatives...libs i am lost how they live and what makes them view the world so differently then me and my friends.

Is the prosecution restricted from calling witnesses who weren't called in the original trial. I'm following a trial that looks like it is going to result in a mistrial and a new trial. The prosecution decided against calling witnesses who could have given valuable testimony.

I've wanted to join in a protest against the war for a while, and, I saw in the newspaper that there's a rally tomorrow in downtown seattle. I've never been to one before though, and, i'm unsure of exactly what to expect. also, do i need to bring anything(i.e.-signs?) or do they usually have that stuff there? Any advice you could give to someone going to their first protest, would be great.
