Ok so I just graduated from an Ivy League law school about a year(focus: Corporate Law), and I am finishing up an intership in Chicago…..anyways….(I made about $36k last year).
I have a REALLY great future set up for me….I just accepted a position at a firm in New York that is going to pay me a STARTING salary of $120k!!! Anyways…I have worked my ass off all my life and I am so happy to see it finally pay off. I grew up in a very middle-class home (my dad was a construction worker and my mom was a chef at a small restaurant). They sacrificed A LOT to make sure my sister (who is doing her 3rd year of her medical residency) and I had a good education….they somehow managed to pay for both of our undergraduate educations (it WAS NOT cheap). Anyways they don’t know about it yet….they wouldnt be too happy……they are VERY STRICT Baptist Christians. Anyways, I do have around a $200k loan (for law school) which i have to pay off.

Ok let me be honest—my situation SUCKS!! I dont have any intention of starting a serious relationship with her….I dont have to just because she’s pregnant right??? Im NOT an ass*hole though….I sat her down and told her that I would pay ANY child support I am told to….AND I told her that if she needs more due to some unforeseen circumstance….I am MORE THAN WILLING to pay her more. Im also helping her through her pregnancy….I get her whatever she needs and run other errands for her. She’s a waitress btw.

The thing is–she wants to MOVE TO NY WITH ME!! I DONT WANT HER TO!!! Im going to be working 80-100 hours/week and 6-7 days/week….its not like Im going to have any time to spend with her or my kid….and I wanna get married someday and have kids the proper way (after marriage)…..I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING…..I really cant…..I know I sound like Im abandoning my kid BUT IM NOT….I can see him/her during summer vacations….they do arrangements like that I think. And if she came there it would only cause DRAMA considering she proabably get jealous and try to fuck me over when I date other women….Im NOT saying she will…..but it would be a VERY AWKWARD situation which she could exploit….

I dont know what to do…….SHE SHOULD BE HAPPY!!!…..she is going to make a SHITLOAD of money over the next 18-20 years through child support…..(she makes about $25k/year as a waitress)….the lawyers’ salary at the law firm I joined rises FAST.

3-5 years exp.–avg= $150k-180k
5-10 ‘ ‘ = $180k-$300k
10-20 ‘ ‘ = anywhere from $300k-$500k
20+ years = $500k-$1 million
Top Lawyers with over 25+ years = can make pretty much anything from $1.5-$3 million.

I talked to a child support attorney who said that I will have to end up paying her around about 25% of my salary AFTER TAXES!!!!!!—THAT MEANS SHE GETS FREE CASH IN HER HAND!!!! SHE IS GOING TO BE MAKING AROUND $20k-25k IN PURE CASH NEXT YEAR!!
And its only going to go up…..there may even be a time where her “child support” may hit 6 figures!! I can only imagine what she’s going to use it for!! And now she wants to follow me around to make my life a living hell!! I do not get it……SHE WON!! WHY CANT SHE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!! SHE WON!!! In her mind she is thinking that she basically won the lottery!! I KNOW she is!!! She is going to be getting HUGE sums of money during the next 18-20 years……she should be happy and just respect the fact that I never want to see her again!! I SAID I WOULD PAY!!! IM NOT EVEN GONNA FIGHT OVER IT EITHER!! I TOLD HER I WOULD PAY!! WHY WONT SHE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!! She makes ME look like a father who abandon’s his kid!! WELL IM NOT!! I said i would see him/her in summer!! She’ll be fine raising him during the year after all the money she’s gonna be sucking outta me!!!

OMG WHATS WRONG WITH ME!!!…..That just flowed out…….I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!! HELP!!
lol yes i did…..its mine…she wasnt really hanging out with anyone else….but this is if its mine
and NO abortion is NOT an option.

Please note, I did call the record of Deeds office, and the lady on the phone stated the bank that owned the property was not listed in the records (strange huh). Ieven tried the law firm listed below, and they stated they are not working on this case aganist the house, they are trying to get in touch with Ms. Werner for another property she stopped paying on.

Lithium in the environment

Like all alkali metals, lithium reacts easily in water and does not occur freely in nature due to its activity, Lithium is a moderately abundant element and its present in The Earth’s crust in 65 ppm (parts per million). This situates lithium below nickel, copper, and tungsten and over cerium and tin, referring to abundance.
In the United States lithium is recovered from brine pools in Nevada. Today, most commercial lithium is recovered from brine sources in Chile. World production of lithium ores and brone salts in around 40.000 tonnes per yearand reserves are estimated to be around 7 million tonnes.
Lithium is easily adsorbed by plants. The amount of lithium in plants varies widely, in some cases reaching 30 ppm.

Health effects of Lithium
Effects of exposure to Lithium: Fire: Flammable. Many reactions may cause fire or explosion. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Explosion: Risk of fire and explosion on contact with combustible substances and water. Inhalation: Burning sensation. Cough. Laboured breathing. Shortness of breath. Sore throat. Symptoms may be delayed. Skin: Redness. Skin burns. Pain. Blisters. Eyes: Redness. Pain. Severe deep burns. Ingestion: Abdominal cramps. Abdominal pain. Burning sensation. Nausea. Shock or collapse. Vomiting. Weakness.

Effects of short-term exposure: The substance is corrosive to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract. Corrosive on ingestion. Inhalation of the substance may cause lung oedema. The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation is therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate spray, by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.

Routes of exposure: The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion. Inhalation risk: Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly when dispersed.

Chemical dangers: Heating may cause violent combustion or explosion. The substance may spontaneously ignite on contact with air when finely dispersed. Upon heating, toxic fumes are formed. Reacts violently with strong oxidants, acids and many compounds (hydrocarbons, halogens, halons, concrete, sand and asbestos) causing fire and explosion hazard. Reacts violently with water, forming highly flammable hydrogen gas and corrosive fumes of lithium hydroxide.

Environmental effects of Lithium
Metallic lithium will react with nitrogen, oxygen, and water vapor in air. Consequently, the lithium surface becomes coated with a mixture of lithium hydroxide (LiOH), lithium carbonate (Li2CO3), and lithium nitride (Li3N). Lithium hydroxide represents a potentially significant hazard because it is extremely corrosive. Special attention should be given to water organisms.

Lithium in water ‘curbs suicide’
Using data for 27 Texas counties from 1978-1987, it is shown that the incidence rates of suicide, homicide, and rape are significantly higher in counties whose drinking water supplies contain little or no lithium than in counties with water lithium levels ranging from 70-170 micrograms/L; the differences remain statistically significant (p less than 0.01) after corrections for population density. The corresponding associations with the incidence rates of robbery, burglary, and theft were statistically significant with p less than 0.05. These results suggest that lithium has moderating effects on suicidal and violent criminal behavior at levels that may be encountered in municipal water supplies. Comparisons of drinking water lithium levels, in the respective Texas counties, with the incidences of arrests for possession of opium, cocaine, and their derivatives (morphine, heroin, and codeine) from 1981-1986 also produced statistically significant inverse associations, whereas no signific

I just spoke with my Attorney. He contacted lawyers from DC from his firm. You live in either DC or MD or VA beyond the Federal City. Law requires you only one to create contract not us. After you submit the contract, we have the right to discuss with you and sign your contract within 45 business days. You are required to give us access code as well as your username and password now otherwise we can charge you as destructive as misconduct as criminal felony charge. You are totally responsible to hand us written contract before we sign the contract.

Several years ago, as a child, I went on the garage roof a couple of times to get the ball down, obviously at the time, I had never heard of asbestos, and needless to say, that when I found out about asbestos and that the roof was made out of asbestos cement, I never went up there again.

Now I know asbestos cement is non-friable, and won’t release fibres unless it’s disturbed in some way i.e sawing, drilling etc. But my question is, do you think I may have caused enough disturbance to it by walking on it?, I may have went up there 2 or 3 times at most to get the ball down.

What is my possible risk of exposure, low/high?, I am now worried that I needlessly put myself at risk in childhood, where I could’ve prevented it if only I knew earlier.

Thanks for reading.

I’m currently studying for an LLB at a top 10 UK university, it’s a very respected University and would put me in very good stead for securing employment at a top London firm (Magic Circle etc..)

However, my parents are contemplating moving to Canada in a couple of years. If this was to happen, I would rather take the New York bar exam (which you can prepare for in London – centlaw.com) and qualify to practice in NY – as I would obviously be a lot closer to my family. Firstly, how easy/hard would it be for a UK law graduate to secure employment with a decent New York firm?

Secondly, I cannot find any information on how you can qualify to practice in Canada with a UK law degree (I only know about California/New York procedures).. so is this possible? If so, how much extra studying would I have to do? What is the legal work like in Canada, how does it compare with New York or London?

Thanks a LOT if you are able to answer any of the above questions
