I'm an aspiring model who worked with an agency in downtown Chicago. I paid 700 for some odd photographer to work on my portfolio. 4 years later I still havent recieved my portfolio. Everytime I try contacting my agent she always has some kind of excuse. And when I try to make a meeting with her she pushes the date back further until the day we cancel. Its very suspicious. Every lawyer I've came across cant return phone calls. And I'm getting seriously frustrated with this case. I want help now so that no other girl working with that company goes through the same. Any help?

I was involved in a very long custody battle and I was told by my Lawyer that I would have a chance to get my child back. I kept spending money and racking up a bill with him, but He never got me any more visitation, rights, or lowered my child support. I now owe him About $20,000 and I just don't have it right now (especially with all the childsupport I now have to pay.) Does anyone know what he can do to me as far as Leins on my house, garnishing my wages, etc.... If it helps, I live in Texas ( laws for this may be different in every state.. i dunno?)

Why is it that when a 14 year old has sex with an adult, they prosecute the adult and more than likely send him/her to prison because the teen didn't know what he/she was doing. Now when a 14 year old commits a crime, (armed robbery, murder, etc., the try him as an adult because he DOES KNOW EXATLY what he/she is doing. I don't condone sex with teens but something seems wrong with this picture!!!

How can anyone speak against the war in Iraq , when aborting your own child, isn't this hypocrisy? What gives a woman the right to kill her own child? And don't say it's her body she can abort her child if she wants too, still don't talk against the war in Iraq. When a woman can kill her own child by abortion, how can she speak against anything else?and don't use the rape, incest, these children are aborted because it's an inconvenience for the woman. I have done alot of research and these babies have been aborted for selfish reasons. And don't tell me it's not a child, I know better. the baby becomes a baby after the male sperm enters the woman. Its human sperm which makes the baby human. I know this would be hard for the ignorant to understand, wouldn't you agree that many women can be ignorant to the truth? Or is it they don't want to know the truth, they just hide their ignorance, and say it's okay?

X won't call his son since Christmas! Can the courts make him call or make arrangements for visitation? X won't talk about it or answer his phone. He won't give me his new address. He says to call the courts. The courts don't have it. I am sick of his behavior. I have to get to pay some medical bills. What do I do? Will the courts act on this? I called his Attorney, she says I don't represent him anymore which is bull, she always says this until an issue comes up, she is there in court. Doesn't she have to give me his address? My son keeps asking when can he see his Dad. This is horrible! The Dad also left his 20 yrs. old daughter but he communicates w/ her all the time. Should I file for full custody & demand he looses his rights as a parent? Urgent Care just called me & said they have been billing him for his co-pays & he hasn't been paying.

Following the link below will take you to a page which will show you Indiana's newest license plate design, "In God We Trust".

There seems to be a muted controversy (only hear about it once in a while) about whether this violates Church and State.

The reason being that, while ALL other plates Indiana offers with a special slogan/design (for Indiana U., Purdue, Riley's Children's Hospital, etc) cost an extra fee to get, this one is available at no extra charge. Part or all of the extra fee does go to the relevant organization as a fundraiser, by the way.

Additionally, the license branch reps make a point of mentioning this particular plate as an option.

I think I've given you the essential facts. What do you think? Is this particular plate a problem, does it walk the middle ground, or is it a good thing?

"rule by private interests was ascendant, and they enforced that rule by law and arms. If you didn’t actually walk out the door, you could imagine that the United States resembled Italy under Mussolini."
It’s true that the U.S. may be a police state – as anyone who protests against the WTO will find in out in short, ugly order – but it is not, for most people, a totalitarian state. People tolerate, or actively embrace, corporate rule not primarily because they’re cowed by the police, but because they aspire to the promised gifts of the program."

With the privatization of water supplies to cities and the phenomenal rise in bottled water and the media's implied distrust of the "tap", water is becoming a corporate commodity...and water IS our right, I am sure.
And before anyone tells me, yes the "details" was an editorial.

My mother passed away six months ago. I have had the responsibility of liquidating her estate. I did not have much luck selling on my own. My aunt recommended this one man saying that he sold a book for her sister for hundreds of dollars. I did contact him and he took quite a few things including furniture, china, framed art, jewelry and boxes of assorted items. I had to sign a contract which he retained - I have no copy of it. So I asked him for a list of the things he took and he said he would send me one when he had a chance to inventory the consignment. This was back in April. I didn't hear anything from him since so I decided to visit his place of business. I didn't see anything there I recognized as my own. So I located him in his back office and confronted him. He acted like he didn't know me or know anything about the items I gave him to sell. Now I'm not sure what to do. I have no proof of what he took from the house. Any ideas how I should proceed or should I do anything?

When people have sex outside of marriage it has the potential to create children that may grow up knowing neither their mother nor father. This damages their moral growth and may be connected to why many persons lack essential common since. Even with protection the emotional scars abused sex, or sex with a fair whether counter part, leaves are devastating. I believe any person who can't wait until they’re married should have all their eggs in a bank, have their sperm in a bank before having a hysterectomy, or have the government cheaply remove their reproductive organs and replace them with simple urethras. I believe this will give many problems (I can't list or else I'd run out of space) we face near permanent solutions. What are your comments to this concept? If this idea has any flaws then correct them.

Thanks for taking the time to read this,Im in a sticky situation and need some advice.I work in IL.I have worked for fast food for 5 years.I have been a mgr. for almost 3.A few months ago I was at work and another manager assaulted me, with an open hand to the face "slap".I did nothing to provoke this.I was so shocked I just walked away.This had ever happened to me before.The next 2 days I went on like nothing happened, until finally it bothered me so much I told my store mgr what happened.The next day my store supervisor called me into the back office, in the office were my owner, supervisor, store mgr, and the other mgr who assaulted me. The mgr admitted to them that she slapped me, after denying it.Then they kept asking "Was it playful?" I said no it hurt there was no bruise or anything, and no witnesses and the video footage was to shaky to tell, but she admitted to slapping me.She continues to harass me so i quit1 day notice, now they wont give me my check, or my 2weeks vac pay?
