what is the most expensive big city on earth?

what is the most expensive big city on earth?
In my opinion,here are the cities that would cost you lots of money while you were making a visit or even (probably in your case)living for couple years: (FYI:this list is based on my view as a tourist not a permanent resident) Let's starting from the top: 1.Zurich (Switzerland) 2.Helsinski (Finlandia,EU) 3.Oslo(Norwegia) 4.Tokyo(Japan) 5.London(UK,EU) 6.New York(USA) Well, i've ever been there and those countries are beautiful and amazing but,always makes you feel bad afterwards.haha.. cause,i don't want to go home by only wearing my pants! kidding.. Anyway,what's in your mind? anyone knows the complete,updated and reliable source of the expensive cities in the world?i've been looking all over the place,but still never could find the website for this kind of stuff. i love travel,and it could be a very nice guide for tourist.

Don't you miss the Good Old Days when American free markets were in full bloom and a guy like me could?

Don't you miss the Good Old Days when American free markets were in full bloom and a guy like me could?
refinance his house and live like a King? I refinanced my $85,000.00 house in Ft. Myers, Florida for $420,000.00 with an AltA (liars) loan. I didn't have much equity in it anyway so I refinanced and got $293,000.00 at closing after the fees ect. I had an adjustable rate AltA loan which some genius on Wall Street dreamed up. It was interest only for three years so the payment was only a bit over $2000.00 per month. I set aside money for the payments for three years, about $70,000.00 and pocket the difference. So I put the $220,000.00 difference in a three year CD at 5%. I stopped making payments as soon as the loan reset and waited for them to foreclose, which took 18 months during which time I paid nothing at all. I left the key in the door with a Thank You note to Bank Of America. Now all these Socialists are taking away my rights and ruining my financial future.

How much would all this dining at entertainment at Walt Disney World cost?

How much would all this dining at entertainment at Walt Disney World cost?
Ok here's the deal. There are 4 of us. Next time we go to Disney here's what we want to do: Have dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table for 4 people. Either that or Akershus, whichever is cheaper and has more princesses/characters. We'd also like a dinner for 4 in a car at the Sci-Fi Dine in. My brother and I will do DisneyQuest by ourselves. How much does it cost for DisneyQuest for two over 10? And how much is food at DisneyQuest? How much would we spend at Goofy's Candy Co., and how much is a sundae at Gheridelli (Sorry for spelling) Does it cost money to make reservations, if so how much would they cost? How much would this all cost together Thanks for your help!

Can my autistic son get SSI - short?

Can my autistic son get SSI - short?
My 2 1/2 year old son has autism. He was diagnosed very recently. We live in CA but want to move to TX within a year. Here is where our income gets tricky: we make around $50,000 a year BUT half of that is from my husbands VA disability benefits which is a non-taxed income (can't even put us in a different tax bracket) My son's insurance (Kaiser if interested) does not cover the services he needs such as behavioral therapy, speech therapy and such so at the moment we are going thru a non-profit program called ALTA which will give him services until 3 years old but at 3, he will go to the school district which only covers speech, not anything else. So we are looking into how to pay for everything and the only thing I can think of is SSI. I know he can get it for autism, but does the severity matter? Ort does income matter and if income does matter will it count VA money? We are going to apply, I just want to prepare myself because my mom is on SSI and got denied the first time around (and she had a stroke and couldn't even walk) so I am worried he will be denied also and will go awhile without the necessary therapy's he needs while we appeal the decision which can seriously hurt his progress. Any info would help Thxs. We make way too much for medi-cal (state medical) And even "high-functioning" autistic kids NEED services or they will soon be low-functioning. I didn't ask for opinions on if a high functioning kid should get SSI or not. I only asked if it effected getting SSI. Don't talk about autism if you know nothing about it.......

who told you school only covers speech-that is a violation of IDEA the school must provide APPROPRIATE SERVICES..including OT, PT, ABA the severeity does matter--kids at the higher end shouldn't get it ...ACCORDING TO SSA STANDARDS__NOT MINE(but some do anyway) ( I AM REFERring to ssi--AS I SAID THE SCHOOL SHOULD PROVIDE ABA, OT, ETC) EVEN KIDS WITH MILD DISABILITIES ARE ENTITLED TO THAT IN SCHOOL i'm not sure of the income limits..does your non VA income fall under the limit? even if not eligible for SSI, you might be able to get MEDICAID on a waiver for medically needy or similar program and also register with the state division of developmental disabilities it will help if you have yoru own medical ev als--the SSA evals are idiiotic--they don't assess the disability--only the healthy parts..and therfore you don't qualify. the requirements for children are on SSA.GOV it says something about severe impairment in functioning I DIDN"T SAY STANDARD MEDICAID..THERE ARE SPECIAL MEDICAID PROGRAMS (often called WAIVERS) that are for people with disabilities..check to see if your state has any.. if you make too much for standard medicaid....you may make too much for SSI KIDS AT THE HIGHER END SHOUDLN"T GET SSI..I DIDN"T SAY THEY SHOULDN"T GET SERVICES... BUT THE SERVICES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PROVIDED BY THE SCHOOL__THE FAMILY IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE TO PAY FOR EDUCATIONAL RELATED SERVICE (at some level --services are considered medical, not educational..and school won't provide..but ABA is usually considered strictly educational..A lot of OT is do you know about ABA/VB, DIR, Miller, SONRISE, RDI, Sensory based OT, PROMPT..TEACHH, FBA, DRO you said: I didn't ask for opinions on if a high functioning kid should get SSI or not. I only asked if it effected getting SSI. I ANSWERED TAHT IT DOES AFFECT ELIGIBILITY FOR SSI, BUT IT IS TRUE THAT SOME CHILDREN WHO ARE HIGH MANAGE TO GET APPROVED..EVEN WHEN THEY ARE BARELY DISTINGUISHABLE FROM THEIR NEUROTYPICAL PEERS technically, if kids are functioning near age level, do they do not qualify..but ssa is a game--people with mild disabilities do get approved if they stick it out.. THATS THE FACTS--ITS NOT MY FAULT I TOLD YOU THE TRUTH kids who are high functioning can decompensate or not progress without supportive services

My son and foster son with Aspergers both get SSI. My son has been getting it since he was eight and my foster son stated getting it when he turned 18. It is pretty hard to get SSI for children unless they are SEVERELY disabled and it affects their ability to function. My son has AS but he also has several medical issues and severe anxiety. I had plenty of documentation from doctors, neurologists, psychologists and the special developmental clinic where he had an extensive evaluation twice (at ages five and eight). He had both an academic and medical dx. We were denied the first time around. We hired a lawyer and appealed the decision and finally got the SSI about a year and a half after the initial application. My advise is to talk to a lawyer and see if he/she thinks your son would qualify for SSI with his level of disability and your family income. You will need the name of EVERY doctor and specialist your son has seen and every report you have ever received on your child. If you have these documents to submit with your application the process will go a lot faster. FYI: Children who are "high functioning" will not become "low functioning" without services. Things may be a bit more difficult without services but they will not become "more Autistic" than they already are.

First of all you should go to their house ring at the door and try to have a nice chat with his parents and ask them whats their problem. If that doesn't work try to talk to him. If they don't let you see him camp in front of their house. This will just show how much you love him and your willing to do. But, you shouldn't have come here searching for answers because it is in your head. Just follow your heart and think clearly. It is as simple as that. Cheers :D P.S. I am not gay.

Just a couple of things: I think it's just a typo, but you misspelled porque in the fourth statement (the one about the bracelets). In the line after that, I think it would make more sense to say it like: Le gusta tocar la guitarra y escribir porque ella le encanta creatividad. Guitarra is feminine, so it needs to be preceded with la instead of el. Also, amar does mean love, but it refers to romantic love and isn't the right verb for your statement. Encantar also means love, and it fits better in this situation (this love refers to the love of things, like "I love those shoes!"). I added the "le" in front of encanta because it is reflexive (just like gustar). Dog is spelled "perro". (Pero means "but"). I might be rusty on my vocabulary, but I think bolso means bag (like a purse or something). If you meant to say life, I think it would be better to use "vida". "Vive en las afueras de Westland" means "She lives in the suburbs of Westland". If you want to say she is from ... you should say "Ella es de ...". However, the sentence makes sense (it just didn't fit your translation exactly). I don't see anything else. Nice work!

This is a difficult situation. It sounds like your boyfriend has a lot of growing up to do. He has to learn how to stand on his own two feet and make up his mind what he wants. If he wants you in his life, he has to stand up to his family and tell them so. If he is not willing to do that, the two of you would be miserable together and it's better you find that out now. Maybe he will be so miserable without you that he will decide to grow a backbone, you will know soon enough. In the meantime, just be assured that this is not your fault. It's normal to be a little down with all that's going on in your life, and a true partner would understand that and try to help. It's hard when the two of you don't have your own place to go to to get away from everyone else. If you get back together, try to come up with a strategy for dealing with stressful times. Sit down together and make a "game plan" of things you can do that make you happy --- as individuals and as a couple. Keep the list handy and refer to it when things get crazy. It's hard to think rationally when you're upset, and having it in writing will help. Best wishes to you.

Do you think a Jet Ski Rental business would be a good way to make money?

Do you think a Jet Ski Rental business would be a good way to make money?
If I had it in Miami Florida on the beach. I'll buy at least 6 or 7 jet ski's (just to start with, when i get more money i'll buy more) and charge $90/hour. Assuming I already paid off the money from buying the jet ski's, even if i only get 2 customers per day, I'll make $1,260 per week at least! Minus the price for gas. But I will definitely get way more customers than that, unless it's stormy that week. What do you think? It'd be a good business right? I could also provide surf boards, and boogie boards to rent also. Maybe snorkel supplies and flippers too.

It could be good depending on how well you maintain it. Don't forget about insurance for your business/jet skis. You'll probably have to have permits from whatever city you're in, taxes on the building you house everything in. You'll need someone who can service/repair broken equipment as well. I'd love to have something like that though...freedom!
2 :
renting jet skis is not a cheap or casual thing to do. jet skis are powerfull machines capable of creating a lot of excitement and fun, but they can and have caused accidents and injuries. per scott who owns a jet ski business "Scott on 12/18/2009 5:10:33 PM I own a Jet Ski operation in Panama City Florida and have since 2000. I get this all the time some guy walks up after renting and says" I think I will open a Jet Ski Rental Business!" Where do I begin? First off unless you have around $80,000 cash laying around forget it!! You must also be able to do all maintenance on these machines short of rebuilds yourself. Then there's the location, at most beach's in Florida that allow rentals you can figure on coughing up $15 to $25,000 dollars per spot!! Then you are limited to how many machines you can run per feet of Beachfront at your resort. Then you will need a 4x4 vehicle to drag them that will eat away at the bottom of the skis $200 per waverunner to repair every season. Insurance will stop 99% of the DREAMERS out there, there are only 2 companies in the U.S. that even write this sort of policy and if you have never owned a Jet Ski Rental business in the past you probably don't qualify and if you somehow do get in figure on approx $4,000 per machine for coverage 25% upfront with 4 payments! You need a minimum of 4 to break even just so you know. figure $1000 to $2000 each machine for repairs as rental are not covered under factory warranty as well! I personally run 9 machines and must make $200,000 per year just to pay all the bills and net $80,000 and I must do all of this in 5 months out of the year ( 7 days a week straight!) that means from march thru August I work from sun upto sun down no breaks and no life except my business. then there is the added bonus of being in the sun every day for 12 hours here in Florida. If you forget to coat on the sunblock 5 times a day you will be seeing the dermatologist scalpel up close and personal as he cuts off inflamed cartilage and sunspots for biopsy, what a great time!! Sorry if I paint a grim picture but not just any bozo off the street can throw a few old skis in the water and call it a business!! that my friends it not how it works at all! My advice to you is buy an established rental business from a company with a great safety record and stability in one spot. You should only pay 10 months of revenue and all machinery is depreciated at 20% each year of age period! My business for example would sell for $246,000 that's it! nine machine that are two years old and ten months of sales DON"T GET RIPPED OFF by someone who attaches emotions to their business. I see these ad's all over the net for ridiculous asking prices all you are doing is taking over a lease paying the ten months and equipment depreciated worth it's real simple. Think long and hard before diving in people! Good luck!" http://www.startupbizhub.com/jet-ski-ren… hope this helps

Specific salary ranges vary greatly depending on the size of the resort, its Length of season, and what the resort amenities are in the off-season. Marketing, Sales, Human Resources, Engineering, Planning, and most of the off-snow-behind-the-scenes jobs (management and non-management) continue all summer long at large resorts. Base Managers, Mountain Operations, Rental Shop, and Food Service positions generally are seasonal. Many of the managers in those areas work in some other capacity at the resort if there are off-season things there such as a golf course, water park, or alpine slides. The resort I patrol at is run by a management company that also operates three summer camps and a fun park. Everyone in the management at the resort works at one of those other locations in the summer. While not actually on the ski resort property, it is the same company so they maintain benefits and same pay rates. Large resorts with on site hotels or rental properties also have managers who remain at the resort all year since many resorts rent the lodge out for weddings and events. Your best bet is to take up something like accounting, marketing or advertising (and take some hospitality management classes too) and then get a job at a resort. You still get the same perks as the on-snow guys and have a better chance at scoring a year round gig.

I saw a show about a head guy at Breckenridge ski area and he was so busy he only skied like 10 days a season. So keep that in mind...
3 :
crikeys got it. I have a degree in ski area management....... lot of good it did. i worked one season and realized I never got on snow. I quit, (the money was enough) but now I work in Interior design, my minored subject in school. I ski around 75 days a year and still make enough to get by.
4 :
Remember, you can ruin the fun of skiing if you get a job managing a ski resort. Most times you just want to get away from work. Well you can't get away to your favorite place (the ski resort) if that is your job as well. Just try getting a job that pays a lot, that you will somewhat enjoy, and then spend all your money at the ski resort! Or consider a part time job at the resort or becoming an instructor so you get all the good discounts.

With all these great things. What was so bad about the Nazi's?

With all these great things. What was so bad about the Nazi's?
Statements on the Internet on what the Nazis invented/ contributed to the modern world Volkswagen KdF computer, invented by Konrad Zuse 1941. Jet plane in 1939 by Heinkel Flugzeugwerke. The first manned rocket flight in 1945 (unfortunately it lasted only some seconds and pilot Lothar Sieber died) Nazi doctors, in line with their campaign for public health were the first to write a major scientific paper linking smoking with lung cancer, I believe smoking was even banned, for a brief time in the Luftwaffee. Nazis invented Nerve gasses Sarin and Tabun. Invented first effective automatic rifle, single person anti-tank weapons (precursors to RPGs). You can see some magnificant architecture by Speer that was planned in nearly any documentary on the man. Autobahns Stealth technolgy was invented by the Horten brothers during the Reich. Audio technology using magnetic tape was a Third Reich invention. Copying German tape recorders was how the famous American corporation Ampex got its start. Magnetic tape was also essential later for the video tape recorder. Allies hadn't a clue how the Axis was transmitting speeches and programs hours apart to different locations and having them sound "live." It was top of the list of technologies to capture as the war concluded. Management systems for keeping massive and complex development programs on track was another "invention" transferred to the US, along with its scientists and project managers. These systems allowed the Germans to have developments underway in numerous categories and perform them remarkably well. The Wankel engine, which is now referred to as the "rotary engine" was invented during the Third Reich. Mazda uses this engine extensively. Someone mentioned the Autobahnen as really an idea thought up during the Weimar Republic. Yes, but that brings to light another achievement, and that is simply the will and energy to put unemployed workers to work doing things that needed to be done, something the Weimar government was totally inept at doing. "Parliamentary chaos" combined with acquiescence to WWI reparations were the problems. Missile technology: Ground-to-ground, air-to-air, air-to-ground, ground-to-air, ship-to-ship, etc., using wire guidance, TV guidance, IR guidance (everything but laser quidance). Most of these missiles were not at the highest form of development, but their work launched and made a bundle of money later on for corporations like Boeing, Raytheon, Hughes Aircraft, North American Aviation (Rocketdyne Div.), etc. All of these companies had their German "Chief Scientist" heading up research and development operations. The promising IR technologies were mostly all developed during the Third Reich. They had "night vision" devices while the Allies were still wondering if such things were possible. Modern sewer treatment facilities are all derived from Third Reich technology. You've probably seen them with their settling ponds and huge skimmers. While the Englishman, Farnsworth, gets credit for the invention of a very rudimentary television, it was the Third Reich that perfected television and conducted the first broadcasting. Application of geophones for seismic wave detection was used for locating artillary. The "wishbone cannon" was invented and installed at Calais, France. It was destroyed before it was operable. The "rail gun" was another significant invention, which the US and SU copied. This weapon employes a series of ring magnets to propell a rail mounted projectile. The significant feature of this "gun" is that it can accelerate the projectile at a speed nearing infinity -- at least in theory. Conventional explosives are limited by their individual, finite rates of expansion and hence constrained in how fast they can make a projectile move. The intial "invention" of the Third Reich that made everything possible was the breaking away from the international banking system, which made its money on debt finance; i.e., usury. This act was probably the most important event which caused WWII to later occur. In the Thirties the German economy was booming and all sorts of new humane benefits were granted to workers. Elsewhere, deep economic depression was underway, and Roosevelt, for instance, really couldn't get things to moving until we went into a war economy mode. In all, 300,000 patents and copyrights were expropriated from Germany by the Allies after 1945. The Fischer-Tropsch process to produce synthetic fuels from coal, which fueled Germany's armed forces throughout the war. The dicovery of the ingesting of faecal bacteria to cure gut problems http://www.rense.com/general4/bac.htm Dr Morell used his Mutaflor to treat Hitler's foul smelling stools. And used today as Symbioflor http://www.biosym.dk/english/produkt_symbioflor.htm The chemical enhancing of soldiers' ability to fight http://www.rense.com/general34/enhance.htm During the Nazi era, German scientists

Yes, you're right about the inventions and all that stuff. What was bad about them was that they killed 6 million Jews and millions more who they didn't like, had horrible concentration camps where they would put them in gas chambers, had them dig their own graves, starve them to death, and also shot innocent men, women, children, and even babies. They were influenced by one of the most evil men in history, Adolf Hitler. So overall, they were still pretty bad people and there are still Nazis out there even today! So if you talk to people about them, they will still think of them as brutal and evil people. Know this though, not all Germans back then were Nazis. Interesting data you have there.

Don't you miss the Good Old Days when American free markets were in full bloom and a guy like me could?

Don't you miss the Good Old Days when American free markets were in full bloom and a guy like me could?
refinance his house and live like a King? I refinanced my $85,000.00 house in Ft. Myers, Florida for $420,000.00 with an AltA (liars) loan. I didn't have much equity in it anyway so I refinanced and got $293,000.00 at closing after the fees ect. I had an adjustable rate AltA loan which some genius on Wall Street dreamed up. It was interest only for three years so the payment was only a bit over $2000.00 per month. I set aside money for the payments for three years, about $70,000.00 and pocket the difference. So I put the $220,000.00 difference in a three year CD at 5%. I stopped making payments as soon as the loan reset and waited for them to foreclose, which took 18 months during which time I paid nothing at all. I left the key in the door with a Thank You note to Bank Of America. Now all these Socialists are taking away my rights and ruining my financial future.

Can my autistic son get SSI - short?

Can my autistic son get SSI - short?
My 2 1/2 year old son has autism. He was diagnosed very recently. We live in CA but want to move to TX within a year. Here is where our income gets tricky: we make around $50,000 a year BUT half of that is from my husbands VA disability benefits which is a non-taxed income (can't even put us in a different tax bracket) My son's insurance (Kaiser if interested) does not cover the services he needs such as behavioral therapy, speech therapy and such so at the moment we are going thru a non-profit program called ALTA which will give him services until 3 years old but at 3, he will go to the school district which only covers speech, not anything else. So we are looking into how to pay for everything and the only thing I can think of is SSI. I know he can get it for autism, but does the severity matter? Ort does income matter and if income does matter will it count VA money? We are going to apply, I just want to prepare myself because my mom is on SSI and got denied the first time around (and she had a stroke and couldn't even walk) so I am worried he will be denied also and will go awhile without the necessary therapy's he needs while we appeal the decision which can seriously hurt his progress. Any info would help Thxs. We make way too much for medi-cal (state medical) And even "high-functioning" autistic kids NEED services or they will soon be low-functioning. I didn't ask for opinions on if a high functioning kid should get SSI or not. I only asked if it effected getting SSI. Don't talk about autism if you know nothing about it.......

who told you school only covers speech-that is a violation of IDEA the school must provide APPROPRIATE SERVICES..including OT, PT, ABA the severeity does matter--kids at the higher end shouldn't get it ...ACCORDING TO SSA STANDARDS__NOT MINE(but some do anyway) ( I AM REFERring to ssi--AS I SAID THE SCHOOL SHOULD PROVIDE ABA, OT, ETC) EVEN KIDS WITH MILD DISABILITIES ARE ENTITLED TO THAT IN SCHOOL i'm not sure of the income limits..does your non VA income fall under the limit? even if not eligible for SSI, you might be able to get MEDICAID on a waiver for medically needy or similar program and also register with the state division of developmental disabilities it will help if you have yoru own medical ev als--the SSA evals are idiiotic--they don't assess the disability--only the healthy parts..and therfore you don't qualify. the requirements for children are on SSA.GOV it says something about severe impairment in functioning I DIDN"T SAY STANDARD MEDICAID..THERE ARE SPECIAL MEDICAID PROGRAMS (often called WAIVERS) that are for people with disabilities..check to see if your state has any.. if you make too much for standard medicaid....you may make too much for SSI KIDS AT THE HIGHER END SHOUDLN"T GET SSI..I DIDN"T SAY THEY SHOULDN"T GET SERVICES... BUT THE SERVICES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PROVIDED BY THE SCHOOL__THE FAMILY IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE TO PAY FOR EDUCATIONAL RELATED SERVICE (at some level --services are considered medical, not educational..and school won't provide..but ABA is usually considered strictly educational..A lot of OT is do you know about ABA/VB, DIR, Miller, SONRISE, RDI, Sensory based OT, PROMPT..TEACHH, FBA, DRO you said: I didn't ask for opinions on if a high functioning kid should get SSI or not. I only asked if it effected getting SSI. I ANSWERED TAHT IT DOES AFFECT ELIGIBILITY FOR SSI, BUT IT IS TRUE THAT SOME CHILDREN WHO ARE HIGH MANAGE TO GET APPROVED..EVEN WHEN THEY ARE BARELY DISTINGUISHABLE FROM THEIR NEUROTYPICAL PEERS technically, if kids are functioning near age level, do they do not qualify..but ssa is a game--people with mild disabilities do get approved if they stick it out.. THATS THE FACTS--ITS NOT MY FAULT I TOLD YOU THE TRUTH kids who are high functioning can decompensate or not progress without supportive services

My son and foster son with Aspergers both get SSI. My son has been getting it since he was eight and my foster son stated getting it when he turned 18. It is pretty hard to get SSI for children unless they are SEVERELY disabled and it affects their ability to function. My son has AS but he also has several medical issues and severe anxiety. I had plenty of documentation from doctors, neurologists, psychologists and the special developmental clinic where he had an extensive evaluation twice (at ages five and eight). He had both an academic and medical dx. We were denied the first time around. We hired a lawyer and appealed the decision and finally got the SSI about a year and a half after the initial application. My advise is to talk to a lawyer and see if he/she thinks your son would qualify for SSI with his level of disability and your family income. You will need the name of EVERY doctor and specialist your son has seen and every report you have ever received on your child. If you have these documents to submit with your application the process will go a lot faster. FYI: Children who are "high functioning" will not become "low functioning" without services. Things may be a bit more difficult without services but they will not become "more Autistic" than they already are.

First of all you should go to their house ring at the door and try to have a nice chat with his parents and ask them whats their problem. If that doesn't work try to talk to him. If they don't let you see him camp in front of their house. This will just show how much you love him and your willing to do.

Just a couple of things: I think it's just a typo, but you misspelled porque in the fourth statement (the one about the bracelets). In the line after that, I think it would make more sense to say it like: Le gusta tocar la guitarra y escribir porque ella le encanta creatividad. Guitarra is feminine, so it needs to be preceded with la instead of el. Also, amar does mean love, but it refers to romantic love and isn't the right verb for your statement. Encantar also means love, and it fits better in this situation (this love refers to the love of things, like "I love those shoes!"). I added the "le" in front of encanta because it is reflexive (just like gustar). Dog is spelled "perro". (Pero means "but"). I might be rusty on my vocabulary, but I think bolso means bag (like a purse or something). If you meant to say life, I think it would be better to use "vida". "Vive en las afueras de Westland" means "She lives in the suburbs of Westland". If you want to say she is from ... you should say "Ella es de ...". However, the sentence makes sense (it just didn't fit your translation exactly). I don't see anything else. Nice work!

PRETTY PLEASE DON'T SAY MOVE ON CAUSE I HAVE BEEN WITH HIM FOR A YEAR AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH OR SAY I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU, CAUSE I'M TRYING TO HANG IN THERE AND GIVE IT TIME AND JUST BE HAPPY, BUT ITS SO HARD :( Ps: im 17, in case you wanted to know.and how can i get a hold of him to talk to him about all of this, he doesn't have a cell phone? so how would i talk to him about all of this?

This is a difficult situation. It sounds like your boyfriend has a lot of growing up to do. He has to learn how to stand on his own two feet and make up his mind what he wants. If he wants you in his life, he has to stand up to his family and tell them so. If he is not willing to do that, the two of you would be miserable together and it's better you find that out now. Maybe he will be so miserable without you that he will decide to grow a backbone, you will know soon enough. In the meantime, just be assured that this is not your fault. It's normal to be a little down with all that's going on in your life, and a true partner would understand that and try to help. It's hard when the two of you don't have your own place to go to to get away from everyone else. If you get back together, try to come up with a strategy for dealing with stressful times. Sit down together and make a "game plan" of things you can do that make you happy --- as individuals and as a couple. Keep the list handy and refer to it when things get crazy. It's hard to think rationally when you're upset, and having it in writing will help. Best wishes to you.

On Father's Day, should we remember all the men in prison for their inability to pay child support?

On Father's Day, should we remember all the men in prison for their inability to pay child support?
Sad but true: http://www.ajc.com/opinion/content/opinion/stories/2009/06/21/sacksed_0621.html Interesting quote: "For example, in one case highlighted by the Boston Globe, a divorced father who worked in the real estate industry had been paying $6,000 a month in child support, plus additional expenses such as health insurance and tuition. When the real estate industry crashed, he fell behind and, with an application for a downward modification still pending, was handcuffed in court and jailed for 30 days. The Bergen Record recently detailed the case of Peter Triantafillou, a divorced dad who agreed to pay $5,000 a month in child support in 2006 while earning a good income as a trader. When the economic downturn hit, he was laid off twice and now earns only $60,000 — exactly the amount of his child support obligation. He says: “They had an arrest warrant on me. I had to go to jail for two days. I could understand if I was a deadbeat dad. Or I was on the run or something. But I’m here, picking up my kids after school. I’m involved. Just because I don’t have that much money to pay anymore doesn’t mean I should be chastised.” National Public Radio reported the case of a Cape Cod, Mass., father who lost his job in January but is still required to pay $3,466 a month in child support and 65 percent of college expenses for two of his children. According to NPR: “He petitioned the court to pay less child support but … had to wait two and a half months for a hearing. Then the judge denied his request to temporarily lower his child support payments and scheduled a trial for July … typically, it takes six months from the time a noncustodial parent petitions the court to pay less because of a job loss to when the court makes a decision.”" "I'd rather think of all the children suffering because their father are to selfish to pay child support." Sox, The question was not about men who can pay but don't. The question was about the men who are jailed because they cannot pay. Please try to pay attention. Thanks. "I read the question. Then I told you what I'd rather do. Please pay more attention to my answers, thanks." Sox, I'd rather think about pretty much anything other than your non-answer. Sox and MBlue, I think your answers speak for themselves. You have no problem with putting inocent men in jail, or do not consider it a issue worthy of attention. Thanks for clarifying your position. *an issue* Some great answers here. Thanks! BratRich, that was quite eloquent. MBlue, If your original answer demostrated any empathy for fathers imprisoned for their inability to pay child support, I missed it. It seemed to me that you were too busy distracting from the issue by attacking men who can pay but won't and men who are in prison for other reasons. Maybe I should have read very closely between the lines . . . "oh, and all of what I say applies to women too." MBlue, How convenient is this afterthought? It almost makes it sound like you are being fair-minded. Almost. As we all know, the draconian child support system was designed primarily by feminsts who don't like men and who are well aware that men will be disproportionately impacted because women alost always get custody. *almost always*

Men who are in jail for unrelated crimes also don't have their child support suspended. They become "deadbeat dads" against their will while behind bars. Adds: Wow, MBLUE. You're not very forgiving, are you? Especially since over half of the people in jail in this country are there for victimless crimes...
2 :
I'd rather think of all the children suffering because their father are to selfish to pay child support, thanks. EDIT: I read the question. Then I told you what I'd rather do. Please pay more attention to my answers, thanks. EDIT: That's because you care more about fathers too half assed to help feed their children than those very same children suffering. You obviously view child support as some evil institution bought about by feminism.
3 :
Very sad. Sox, I like to think of the selfish women who had kids but were too immature to maintain a family. The majority of these men are good men who have had the misfortune of impregnating skanks.
4 :
Yep, men aren't worth anything in our society unless they're working for women, or paying women. And Sox, "too selfish to pay child support"?, are you kidding me? Its not a matter of selfishness, its a matter of NOT BEING ABLE to pay. Courts place an essentially arbitrary income to a man, and then make him pay a certain percent. Clearly you aren't capable of independent thought, and you simply mirror the party lines. A man could make 80k a year. But the courts could simply say he makes 100k a year, and charge him 75k in CS, Alimony, legal fees, and etc. Its about imputed income, not reality. He then would not have enough money to live. It will also take a long time to change his income if he gets laid off. He could get thrown in jail for simply working in a bad economy. Its about the children though. Who gives a crap about men. Edit: I dont care about fathers more than children. I care about men who get wrongly imprisoned for losing their jobs in an unstable economy. They aren't "half assing", they try to support their kids, but are not able to. And don't put words in my mouth. I do not view CS as evil. It is necessary for the welfare of kids. But imprisoning fathers due to unavoidable circumstances does not help the kids in any way. It actually prevents him from getting a new job to support them. Thus, it HURTS the children to imprison the father, along with being unethical.

steve-o wants us to feel bad for the dads that are in jail for unrelated offenses and then can't pay their child support. Maybe they shouldn't have broken any laws in the first place? If they're in prison for another crime, they aren't good fathers anyways. And yes, it's unfortunate that there's so many deadbeats out there that the system is built towards them... making it harder to protect the men that honestly just caught a tough break and don't have the money. It's a question of letting a guilty man go free or putting an innocent man behind bars. Sadly enough, our parents weren't lying when they told us "life isn't fair" EDIT: when did I say I had no problem with it!? I said "unfortunately" and "sadly" ... I was speaking about the injustices of our justice system. It does suck that the bad fathers ruined it for the ones that have just "honestly caught a bad break". And I wish something were done about it. And if you honestly feel bad for the men that are put in prison for another offense and then are unable to pay their child support... then you really aren't seeing the big picture of that situation. When someone is sent to prison, they don't get to put their job on hold, their family's life on hold, etc. Why should that carry over to child support? The inmate made a conscious decision to break the law and ended up in jail. You don't get a free pass from child support just because you're a criminal. You want to support your kids, help them lead a productive, good life, stay out of jail. You're telling Sox to read the question carefully and you didn't even read my answer carefully. EDITx2: After reading the other answers and looking at their avatars I have one question: Is it because I'm a girl? :-( No, steve-o, actually I'm forgiving of men who broke the law, completed their punishment and didn't bi*ch and moan about how unfair it is that their kids didn't starve/go without clothes/otherwise live in poverty because they were in prison and couldn't support them. If you want to be a good dad, you stay out of jail. It's not hard, there's plenty of law-abiding citizens who haven't been put in jail ever. EDITx3: last one, really I'm done. So you sent that nice email, and then continued to attack me on here. I repeat: "not cool sammy" To clear things up, I was only irritated that steve-o would compare the situation that these poor men are in who have lost their jobs with the situation of a real criminal in prison. And my source wasn't an afterthought, but merely a guess of what the next response would be... "oh well if the roles were switched, you would say the woman shouldn't be held accountable for her child support." So if it's possible to state this any clearer: I agree, those men are in a shitty situation and it's sad and I wish something could be done to prevent it from happening again.

This is unbelievable. The whole system is so F*^*ed up. Sox, these men can't even pay! That's pretty heartless of you.
7 :
Heavenly Father! If you are there, and tune into earth frequency sometimes, you already know its Father's day! We, sons and fathers, have died to save our kith and kin for centuries. Sacrificed our days and toiled under dark stars. We stayed away, missed our children's smiles and missed the touch of their tiny fingers. We worked through our lives till grey hair, so our children can grow. We, sons and fathers, went out in millions and laid our lives so our children's mothers and motherland can stay free and prosperous. But Oh Father! A Father is not valued anymore. A father is not human anymore. He is remnant of your glory. His life and time is less worth than the money he earns. He can not save the life of his unborn child. And he can not be a father to his born ones if the kings decide. The spring of compassion and love from the mother-earth has dried. So Father, Send us a miracle. Let some compassion for your reflections show. Let some justice for your sons prevail. Heavenly Father! Let your sons be the Fathers.

Sad.. It's pathetic and hypocritical how society shame/demonize men who can't pay child support but at the same time have no problem with women who avoid parental responsibility by having abortion or just drop the baby at the fire station..
9 :
Sox, The father is not the only one required to provide a certain amount of money toward the care of the children, so is the custodial mother. But, when she loses her job, she just takes away from her children by reducing what she is obligated to provide for them. She is under no threat of jail for losing her job and providing less for her children, only the father is. Also, she can get a reduction hearing in 30 days, along with an increase in his obligation for extras, such as her percentage of the cost of a private school. This is a civil rights issue. If she's allowed to reduce her obligation to the children, because of a job lose, so should he, or both should face the threat of prison, equally. Now worse than all that, they have to let out soft crime criminals in order to house these fathers. The states no longer have the money to house criminals of all types, but because federal law requires that deadbeat dads take precedence in jailings, others, such as muggers, have to be released. Which do you want in jail?
10 :
'On Mother's Day, should we remember all the women in prison for their inability to pay child support?' What about this question? There are plenty of mothers, who do not take care properly of their children. More children are mistreated by mothers than by fathers, and boys are more frequently mistreated than girls. What about these mothers? What happens with them? Are they in jail? Do they pay child-support to the father and other people who take care of their mistreated children? About child-support, it should be calculated on a monthly basis. If a father is jobless, how can he pay? If a father is ill and in hospital and has no income, how can he pay? Yes, on Father's Day, we should remember fathers, all fathers, who have good intention towards their children.
11 :
The child support law is against the constitution of this country. I believe there is some sort of a paragraph in the US Constitution which states government cannot induced involuntary slavery or some thing to that nature. If a father don't have a job and cannot get one, he should not have to be imprisoned. I called that involuntary slavery. When a father cannot get a job, or unable to work, which is more likely now due to global recession,(which was caused by the idiot greedy politicians and shaking hands with their corporate lobbyist) the father cannot be determine to be label a dead beat dad, and should not be jailed. Then ones that should be imprison are the ones committing fraudulent activities and racketeering of the American fathers of their ability to make a living for them and their children. The District Attorney has made collecting child support as a financial a industry. I have no idea how much they collected but I do know there is somewhat like 14.4 Billion Dollars still out standing of so call unpaid child support. With 14,4 billion dollars they can build dozens of more concentration camps in this country deserts. For people like me who are not afraid to tell the truth and of course the fathers of all the$14.4 billion unpaid child support. Actually what Child Support really is, is another form of taxation for having children. The world would not look to kindly on government in which parents get taxed for having children so they call it, Child Support. The lawyers, judges,court clerks, the DA and everyone else that is connected, to collection of child support gets to be employed and feeding and clothing their children. That is the present nature of this government we are suppose to take care of our kids, so at a later time, this government can kill them in some future war for the want of oil or to keep the Wall Street Investors happy and rich. The child support law is and another incidence where this government is trying to institutionalize the kids, by breaking up family values and independent thinking, that is derived from a 2 parent family structure. Which benefits the coming of the New World Order. The only way to beat the child support law is go to jailed as the civil rights activist did so in the 1960's. And when governmental idiot bureaucrats have half the adult male population in jail then the law might become more lenient or abolished this unfair law.

Would there ever be an epic bin laden biopic film made in the history of all cinema?Our lifetime or years away

Would there ever be an epic bin laden biopic film made in the history of all cinema?Our lifetime or years away
And if they did how do you think it will go? My sister said it wouldn't offend people or americans but simply wouldn be a huge waste of a big budget long film about his entire life, coz it wouldn't gross money coz no one would see it. So she thinks no one would see it except me lol and I think it would offend americans anyway...but it would be worth exposing the tragedy of 9/11 as it includes one man's demise as a flesh-and-blood human. A fellow human lost along the path of peace. But it would be a film to make us know our enemy coz we have to in order to overcome their hate. The entire film based on Peter Bergen's book The BinLaden I Know as he has the same goal: understanding the enemy. My dad made me wonder this as he sed how fascinating it wud be to see that journey in a film. Do you think a bin laden biopic would be made or would there just be films like hunting for him like Oliver Stone said he would do following his World Trade Center? "H8 cant overcome evil. Only luv can" MLK

very interesting but you got to realize that if the movie was made in the USA it would be very biased and the facts of bin laden would be given to you by the US Government and frankly after being lied to all these years i wouldnt trust the Governtment to tell what time it is.... we are a government of lies and propaganda .... They Blamed Bin Laden hours after the crash yet they had no knowledge it was going to happen... Bin Laden himself came out A week After the Attack and denied involvment and even said to check within our own government for the criminals ....that being said how can we possibly make a movie based on biased information our corrupt government has given us on Bin Laden...... not saying he is a saint or anything but a movie written by anyone is just going to be biased propaganda for or against him.... is a great topic and i would love to watch that film though
