There is a product demonstration on a web-site that I believe is deceptive. I want to record a part of it to a dvd and follow it with my version of the demonstration showing how it really works. This will be sent to the BBB and possibly someone like the state atty general for investigation. If they are putting it on the web-site for all to see, would recording it be legal as long as I give credit to the site where I got it?

I got caught shoplifting at FRY's for a value of around 160.
1. ipod earphone 29
2. 4 gb flash drive 79
3. itrp fm transmitter 49

I am 20 years old, currently attend college, I've never been arrested for shoplifting before, or doing any kinds of illegal activities. I stoled earphone, because the one I have got chewed up by my cats, and flash drive because i need it for school, and itrip because, I bought 2 of them before, and both of them broke. I was told to never come back to FRY's again, what if I do want to shop from there again? Now I am worried about will this go in my record, and affect my future job opportunities? Or scholarship? Or any kinds of negative consequences? I am scared, I've never regret so much. I was told to appear in court, what will most likely to happen? How much will the fine be? I want to know everything, please...

I got fired today because I spelled a sign from right to left,and the manager approched me with an abusive and unappropriate manner. Cursing and and unmanerly actittude was done by him in front of customers and children. He also insulted me by saying that it was spelled the same way in spanish, knowing that I'm latino. So a came to him at closing time to discuss the problem with him, and he told me he had done nothing wrong, I told him that just because I work for him It doesnt give him the right to talk to me or treat me tha way that he wants to. and he replyd saying it does. I never insulted him, and I never disoved him. I came to him appropriatly and spoke to him appropriatly. what should I do about this??

Hi,

I have a major shoplifting problem. I was arrested once before and vowed never to do it again and I did stop for a while but just recently I tried to steal item from a grocery store and was caught yet they just asked me not to come in the store again. I was relieved yet still ashamed.
My question is can they if no id was taken but asked me not to come in thier store again still arrest me. I am currently seeking counseling and suffer from depression which is no excuse for what I did but would like help but thier is none around here in my area. Are there online groups that I could join for help. I am really scarred the cops are going to show up at my door and arrest me.

A sales person came to my office selling a promotional gift certificate to a new salon and spa. The certificate allows you to make appointments for several different services such as pedicure, manicure, haircut, highlights,deep conditioning treatment, etc. You must use the certificate within 4 months and only obtain 2 services at each visit. My coworkers and I thought it was a great deal. The salon is new in town and the sales person said instead of investing in ads,signs, etc the owner wanted to offer these services to build up her clientele. We called the business and verfied this was not a scam. Well, I called today to make an appt and was told these certificates are fraudulent and that the employee that verified them is no longer with the salon. They said the district attorney has info on this. I have called the police to file a report. But, what are the legal ramifications? Can I get my money back and does the owner have to reimburse me since her former employee verified these?

Does anyone have a complete list of the Alcatraz inmates that are still alive? There can't be too many. We are losing history if we don't keep in touch with the remaining living inmates for 1st hand accounts of life on "The Rock." Is there any effort to do so?

What do I need to know about a mixtape? (Reward: Name on mixtape, copy of mixtape, and will be thanked........

Aight.........Im a rapper, who just formed a group.......We've been rapping in school and people heard us perform. (Talent Show etc.) A producer in my area thought we were good. So he said give him a call, if we need a contract. We thought about it and approved. He gave us the contract and let us think for a couple weeks. We're in the process of deciding........All I need to know is...in a mixtape.......Can you use other instrumentals......Explai... why.......Because I heard alot of (Famous Rappers) perform freestyles on instrumentals (especially their enemies instrumentals) and they make mixtapes (AND THEY GET PROFIT)...Our group dosen't want profit......We just want to distrubute our mixtape to get our voice heard F.Y.I: I don't think The game asks 50 `Cent for permission to use his instrumentals....Or I don't think The game asks lloyd banks for the hands up instrumental)

It's horrible. You dont have the right to kill someone else, even if theyre inside you're body. If someone is stupid enough to go get pregnant if they dont want a child, they made a stupid choice, but that shouldnt be an excuse to kill someone. I hate it. It should be illegal.

I have my resume on monster.com and someone contacted me saying I qualified for their "transfer manager" position.

They say that they send me a check and I get to keep 8% of the amount and send the rest in cast through western union.

I first think I heard of something that the checks would be fake, but what if I try waiting until the check actually goes through, or is this just a scam period?

If it is, why does monster.com let them on there and why is this still going on?

This is a hypothetical situation.

Let's say that there is a mom who had a one night stand resulting in a baby. Guy was gone the day after out-of-state and no contact has been made. Child is 2 years old now and mother and child are vacationing out-of-state and father happens to see them in his home state. Can he file for custody (or any action for that matter) in his state or does he file in the child's state of residence? Can he prevent the mother from leaving the state with the child (they are on vacation, remember).

I believe that the state the mother/child are visiting does not have jurisdiction-only the state where the child is a resident. What's the scoop?

I have been working in the field of education for over 5 years now, and want to switch careers. It is a lot harder than I thought. I have good communications skills, but it's hard to relay that when you have forward a resume online before even getting to speak to someone. I read the qualifications for the jobs, and check off all of the things that I have (and more). But then I do not get a response. One interview I made it to actually told me that I was over qualified. Should I leave some things off my resume? I want to go into administration/secretatial ( just enough to take care of my son-
but they are not biting).
