What does it feel to be a heir / heiress?? Who's the most impressive one in your opinion

What does it feel to be a heir / heiress?? Who's the most impressive one in your opinion?
I am surprised at how most of them never work... ok i understand they don't need to work but how can someone be so selfish. If they have so much money, at least let them do some good. Work in charity or something. Yesterday I asked the question "what would you do if you had a billion dollars" and I can't say I was surprised, but many people just said they would continue living like they do + buy all the stuff they want and most importantly, they said they would help out the more needy and help our their families. I would do the same, but I would never stop working, no matter how much money I had. Like I'd work a bit less than I do now but I won't stop. Anyway, how can all these heirs and heiress never do s****, like Paris Hilton and her sis and whatnot. I don't know why, but I love reading about these people and about royalty. It's sooo cool to read all their stories. I love Charlotte de Monaco a lot. I think she's the best "rich kid". Who's your favorite? Lol, probably most of you have never even thought of that question but whatever, just asking.

They are just people who have inherited vast amounts of wealth simply by being born into it. I think nothing special of them. I admire people like Bill gates who earned his own fortune not bratty,little rich kids.

I can't say that I have a favorite heir or heiress. I can't stand Paris Hilton, someone who has spent a fortune of her own money to attempt to be famous. She probably spends more that she actually makes. Now, if she was quiet, like William, the man who will eventually become King of England one day, that would be different. Instead, she hobnobs with people you and I wouldn't dream of wanting the opportunity to meet. I guess Charlotte de Monaco is a "good girl" but you have to remember that tragedy has hit that family many times. Hopefully, she will keep her nose clean.

Kimi on track to get second World Championship

Kimi on track to get second World Championship?
Sure, looks like it 4 races into the season. The Ferrari F2008 is an amazing machine full of innovation and speed. It's a bullet-proof machine after Australia. And Raikkonen seems to be going with the flow. I think he would have done the same last year as well if the F2007 did not have any reliability problems. Ferrari is on course to get Constructors as well. I hate to say our McLaren dream is over. McLaren must improve and match the pace. We still got our McLaren tracks: Monaco, Singapore, Valencia, Monza and Canada. But McLaren must improve really and work more with getting the proper setups during practice. Ah I feel pretty bad. I almost shed a tear on Sunday after seeing Heikki's crash. Only the 3rd place podium by Lewis was a bit comfort for me. And the next track in Turkey will be another Ferrari win for sure. What do you all think?

Ferrari have the better all round car by the looks of it, I also think Mclaren should have a more experienced driver in their line up, ( De La Rosa not included) as though Lewis and Hekki are quick, they cant be much help car development wise, I feel if Mclaren are under the very real threat of ending up 3rd in the constructors championship.......

i believe that this was supposed to be his 3rd championship but i think he never got those 2 was because of reality problems with mclaren and i think alonso beating him.

It looks good for ferrari but i still think it's too early in the season to tell. Kimi's main advantage over Lewis is his experience in having battled drivers like MS, JPM and others from a few years ago. Even if Lewis could match his pace he can't beat Kimi.

As things stand McLaren will face stiff opposition from Ferrari even at the so called McLaren tracks. Turning things around won't be easy,in fact very unlikely. Lot's of things can happen but until they happen it's Kimi all the way.

Frankly, Kimi is so laid back its like he's taking a long bath instead of cornering at 180mph. I find it slightly annoying that he makes things look TOO easy sometimes but, that is what Finns are like. I think its too early to be making bold statements like that, we are one race into the European season and a heck of a lot can happen. I said after he got the title last year that that wasnt how to win a championship. It was as though the popped up at the last race and nicked it. I would dearly love to see him kick @ss every race and run the Ferrari ragged and put in a performance befitting of a World Champion, not a lights to flag victory where he is untouched.
8 :
Why not? If he keeps winning races, scoring points consistently he should be double World Champion. And he's got the right attitude. He's doing really well right now and I hope he will keep this up. But I'd still keep and eye out for the BMWs, McLarens and Renault.

Yeah. Looks like it. I think he will win, but i want hamilton to win. I dont think hamilton will win this year, last year was his BEST chance, and he will never get it again. Too many people like Robert Kubica, Heki Kovalinen, Massa, Raikonen, improving.

OLD POLICE CARS IN ACTION

OLD POLICE CARS IN ACTION?
Say, if you are a police officer and you have for example a 1974 Dodge Monaco, with the stripes of your city's PD still on it. Would it be legal to work in and also could you drive it around?

For liability reasons, you can only drive a city owned vehicle. There would be too many legal issues if you got in an accident. If the car broke down, there would be issues on who would pay to get it fixed, or worse yet... legal issues if you didn't make it to a priority call because of car failure.
2 :
Tropper is right except for one option. If an officer restored a vehicle (its done all the time BTW) and has a written agreement with the city/county s/he may drive said vehicle is community events like parades, copshop events, BBQs and the like. As a regular patrol vehicle, nope.
3 :
They could most likely drive it around as a personal vehicle. As long as they are not using the siren or taking actions that would make people think they are an on duty police officer. There are people who drive around i old police cars all the time, some that even have sirens on top. Most of them are wanna be cops who cause a lot of problems but many times what they are doing is legal in the State of Washington.

I've reading all countries that I wish to move to. I list 10 possibility of countries I'd to move. I choose US, GBR, LUX and Monaco. But, I'd to ask about how does US immigration work.

I did a little research and I know, I have to pay a sum to get the PR. How about studying in the states? And after that live in USA?

Your options are: 1) Marry a US citizen 2) Get a job offer from a US employer and have them apply for a visa 3) Diversity lottery Once you have a work visa, you can then apply for a green card (permanent residency), unless you marry an American, then you go directly to green card. You do not "pay" for a green card, but there are application fees. You will probably need to serve your NS in Singapore first.

The cirrus logo is one you will often find on ATMs, and yes, if that logo is on it should work in all those ATMs. The cirrus logo is mostly next to the MasterCard logo and the Visa logo, so if you spot one of those across the street, the chances are very high that your card will work. There are ATMs in Europe that only work for the customers of that bank, but those are very rare. But make sure you remember your pin number. You might put it in your telephone list, just pretend you now have a brother or cousin John, (or an other common name that is not in your address book yet.) You then write a phone number for him that has an area code and the first numbers of a real number in your town, just the last 4 numbers being your pin. Only you will know that this is an hidden pin, so it is a safe way to bring it with you. Enjoy Europe, be careful but do not worry too much.

Which of these tents should I get

Which of these tents should I get?
Hi, I'm looking to invest in a fairly decent tent for the occasional camping trip. Will mainly be camping in the UK particularly the Lakes so needs to be fairly weather proof! My budget is about £40. I have found these two so far but have no idea if they are any good or not as I can't seem to find any reviews on either of them and have no idea what the technical specs really mean. http://www.yeomansoutdoors.co.uk/products/tents/2-4-man-tents/peakland-calver-400.aspx http://www.somersetcamping.co.uk/products/wynnster-monaco-4-tunnel-tent-bluegrey/340/ Hopefully these links work (never tried this before!) if not the tents are: Peakland Calver 400 from yeomans outdoors and Wynnster Monaco 4 from Somerset Camping Thanks for comments Kyle, I've actually found this other website better describing the Wynnster http://www.wynnster.com/detail.asp?p=483

But those are some nice tents, and if I lived in the UK, I would order one but, I dont so.... lol
2 :
Neither. These appear to be single-wall tents and lack a bathtub floor. What this means is if it rains you will have to zip-up all the windows and doors, trapping your heat and humidity inside, and because the floor seams are at ground level, water will seep in through these seems. Either way you end up wet. What you should look for is a tent that has a second top sheet (rain fly) you can put on to keep rain from hitting directly against the main walls of the tent, and which covers the windows enough so you can leave them open while it rains, at least a bit at the top, to allow a breeze. The other necessity is a bathtub floor, which means the floor extends partially up the sides (at least 4") to make the base more waterproof. Also make sure you get some seam sealer and seal all the seams (from the inside and outside) even if the tent is advertised as "factory sealed". Finally, don't forget a ground sheet or footprint -- either buy the one that matches your tent or get a 2mil poly sheet (plastic painter's drop cloth) and trim it so it's about 2" smaller than your tent's floor on each side.

Can I file a wrongful termination lawsuit for my case

Can I file a wrongful termination lawsuit for my case?
I was fired from my job. I came to disagreement with one of the managers. The manager told me I could not leave after the time of my shift. I tried to contact my ride to let them know I needed to stay later and the manager yelled at me for using my phone.I had plans to eat with my girlfriend and I was not allowed to call and let her know that I was not going to make it. If I was off at my regular time I would have made it no problem. I told the manager this and she said I am not suppose to be using my phone. Several nights after my shift ended I was told I needed to stay later and I had to be home at a certain time. I explained to the manager I could not stay because I needed to get a key to my apt to get in from my roommate before he went out of town. The manager said to me why dont you go and get another key made. It is illegal for me to go and get another key made. It said so on the key. I was staying at a friends house which is why I did not have a key.I was not home in time to get the key and waited outside of the house for 5hrs until 3am. I had not eaten for 12 hrs so I didnt fall asleep until around 5am.I called in the next morning and explained to the Head manager what all took place and asked if I could come in late because I was exhausted. My shift started at 11am. She said I needed to come in. I was there on time and explained in further detail what all took place and I could hardly keep my eyes open. I asked her if I could leave early and she said I could. When I started to leave at the time she said I could, she said to me "I think we are going to need you to stay". I was sick a couple of days later just from the lack of sleep and being exhausted. I had a fevor and called in to tell them I was sick and they told me I had to come into work. I had a 100 degree fevor. I notified the other manager about all of this and she did nothing. The other manager was out of line with what she said to me. I was yelled at to do stuff after I thought everything was done and she said to me, "go find something". A couple of time when the store was busy in my 6 hour shift, I was suppose to get a 30 minute break. I had to leave right at the end of my shift to get my ride home and I asked the manager if I could leave right at the end of my shift if I do not go on break. The manager said I could leave right at the end of my shift if I didnt take my break. I missed my dinner and when my shift ended she tells me I had to stay later to work. After being yelled at by the manager again, I could not take it anymore. I notified the other manager about the issues and nothing was done. How was I suppose to not be treated like that anymore? I did not show for my next 3 days of work and I sent the Head manager an email regarding all of the issues. I told her what am I suppose to do. I come in and work hard and I get treated like this. I wanted to work there but how could I if that manager was going to keep treating me the same way?The manager asked me what would make things better and I asked if it would be possible to work the shifts where that manager was not there. The Head manager said I should have handled it better and a week later I received my letter in the mail with my letter from Club Monaco telling me I was fired. I worked very hard there and all the other employees would tell you that I did. They will tell you that I was taken advantage of because I would always put in the extra effort.I was never paid extra for staying after to work extra. They were having me stay 30min to an hour after I was suppose to get off work. I started feeling helpless and felt like I was I being treated like some idiot.The one manager who had a problem with me and would say things to me like go do something one day even wrote on a piece of paper here is what your going to do. It was the same thing I did everyday. She didnt give this paper to anyone else.I am not some idiot I thought to myself but it felt like I was being treated like one. Some of the other employees laughed when they saw the piece of paper. Do I have a case for a lawsuit?
Law & Ethics - 9 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Most states are "at will" states meaning you can be terminated for no reason at all. Therefore, no, you do not have a lawsuit.
2 :
Are youy in the US? If so, no, you do not have a basis for a lawsuit. Employment is 'at will', so the employer can terminate you for any reason it wants, and doesn't even have to provide a reason. BTW, I did not (and I doubt anyone WILL) read that whole mass of words. Consider paragraphs next time.
3 :
It depends which state you reside in, most states have laws allowing an employer to fire you for whatever reason they choose. You can Google the laws in your state.
4 :
Once you didn't show up for 3 days, you destroyed any chance of wrongful termination. To begin with, all states except Montana are "at will" employment where you can be terminated any time for any reason. The only time you really have a case is in human rights violations. You won't even qualify for unemployment since you decided not to go in for 3 days.
5 :
Since we only have your version, it's hard to say if you could win, but as long as you have money for the filing fee and service of process, you can sue. Make sure you sue the right person/entity, or all the possible persons/entities. The key to making the case worthwhile to a lawyer is, how much is it worth, and then how likely is it you will win? Next comes, can you recover pain and suffering for employment termination cases in your state? You may find your fellow employees will say you were wrong, since they want to keep their jobs. So much for witnesses. Check your employee file, which you have a right to, probably, under your state law. If it has anything useful, get a copy, preferably certified, from human resources.
6 :
It sounds as though you had a personal conflict with one member of the management team. It doesn't sound like you addressed this with human resource nor did you document or file any paperwork in accordance with the company grievance policy. You failed to follow the steps. In many instances, your employment is "at will". If you followed the policies in line with grievances, you may have something to support a case. Many companies require you to stay past your scheduled shift, but will allow accommodation for you to arrange transportation. It seems you have an excuse not to stay. Then you were "no call" for three days. That alone is grounds for termination. My guess is that there is plenty of documentation on the part of the company, in regards to your performance. Whether it it true or not, it exists. You may try to file a case for unjust termination, but the proof of that falls on you.
7 :
Fire the people you work for as you have noted,they are not fair to you,Or stay and make it just as miserable for her.
8 :
I don't hear any facts to support a wrongful termination lawsuit. However, you may have a viable claim for violation of wage and hour laws. I suggest you confer with a local attorney who can ask you questions about the facts and who will be able to tell you for sure.
9 :
If you don't have a lot of money, try calling legal aid in your area. I do think you should make a case of it at least at the unemployment office if there are difficulties in collecting unemployment. This is not to collect monetary damages, only unemployment. You can represent yourself at such a hearing, and to my knowledge, there is no fee for these types of cases. Emphasize how you tried to reason with not only your manager, but other managers to resolve the issue. The situation sounds abusive, and yes, the unemployment people would take that into consideration in cases where someone has quit or failed to show.

Either of those options is good, but they're both pretty ambitious for a 9 day trip. You'd be better off seeing Amsterdam & Paris or Berlin & Prague either of which is a relatively easy train trip and there is more than enough to keep you occupied for the full time on either trip. Milan is a long way from either Berlin or Prague and is not particularly touristic. I live just two hours from Milan and spend more time in Amsterdam, Paris, and Prague than Milan. If you want to come to Italy, consider Rome, Florence, Venice, or one of the other tourist sites. Monaco is also an outlier on the other option. If you're coming from the US or Canada, you might consider the Amsterdam & Paris option because it maximizes your time doing things here - there's less travel time involved.

Working at Clothing stores

Working at Clothing stores?
I've been applying to a lot of clothing stores recently for a summer job, but hopefully I will be able to keep it part time in the fall. I've been applying to be a sales associate. I have no retail experience, but I do have A LOT of experience working with children and people in general, and I like to think I have a good eye and understanding of fashion. I've had luck at Old Navy, but they weren't paying what I was hoping for. For anyone in the retail world do you think I would have a chance at these other stores I applied to without retail experience? Zara Anthropologie H&M Gap Banana Republic Club Monaco Express The Limited New York and Company Victoria's Secret LUSH American Eagle BCBGMAXAZRIA Forever21 Thank you! Also if you have ever worked for any of these companies what did you think of them?

Some of the more well-known brands can be pretty picky when choosing staff as they have alot of people wanting to work for them! so my advice would be too apply at smaller local boutiques and clothing stores even if youre not getting payed as much its worth it because experience is everything if youve got a lot of previous work in stores they would be much happier to accept you but you never know they might accept you without it but id definitly try to get some work elsewhere first goodluck! :)

Personally you might have a chance with all of them, but you never know what they are all looking for. All of the jobs I have had have been retail so I have a lot of retail experience, and I have also worked at Victoria's Secret. When there were times I needed and I applied to a lot of retail store, some which are on your list I didn't even get calls back from a lot of them so its not always about retail experience. I think that with VS you would have a good chance. I had a group interview with them and many of the girls didn't have any retail experience but as long as they had a wide enough schedule to be available they were hired. Express I didn't work there but had a interview with them and I think that they are pretty hard to get a job with. I know they base a lot of their choices on clothing since they are a high fashion store and probably on your experience. I have been applying at Express for the longest and just recently got an interview but didn't get the job so that one may be tough. Forever 21 I believe you could get a job at as long as you have a good working background. Just recently a 2 story Forever 21 opened up where I attend school at and they had open interviews on my campus and literally hired EVERYONE I even got the job but just didn't make the orientation. So that one may be really easy. As far as the other ones I don't know, but I do hope I helped in some way!

What do you think twice deported illegal from Mexico being charged with sexual assault for allegedly attacking

What do you think twice deported illegal from Mexico being charged with sexual assault for allegedly attacking
An illegal Mexican immigrant deported twice before being charged with sexual assault for allegedly attacking a woman in St. Charles five years ago will appear in Kane County Court Friday. Carlos Martinez Lopez, 24, of Aurora, faces three class X felony charges — aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual-abuse — for allegedly attacking a 32-year-old woman with a gun and forcing her to have sex with him after she left work on Dec. 21, 2002. “The violent use of force makes the charges serious,” said Pam Monaco, Kane County prosecutor. “He committed a forcible sex assault and had a gun.” Lopez was identified as the assailant last year because of a DNA match that tied him to the crime, Monaco said. Illinois law required him to submit a DNA sample after he was convicted on felony burglary charges in 2005. A law passed four years ago in the state requires all convicted felons to submit DNA samples, which are kept in a police database, said Clint Hull, first assistant state’s attorney. “It stays in the system forever,” Hull said. Lopez snuck into the U.S. illegally for the third time last year, and was arrested in Aurora after being pulled over for a traffic violation and giving police a fake name, Monaco said. Prosecutors realized they found the suspect they were looking for in the sexual assault case after they noticed a tattoo on the man’s body that matched the description of a tattoo the suspect had. “When we looked at the booking photo and saw his identifying tattoo on his neck, we knew we had the right guy,” Monaco said. “It was one of those cases where we were like ‘I hope we get him’ — I was so thrilled.” The victim of the sexual assault, a young mother with several children, was contacted and told the suspect was caught, and was very relieved and thankful, Monaco said. If convicted, Lopez, who is being represented by public defender Dave Kliement, could face between six and 30 years in prison for the aggravated criminal sexual assault charge, in addition to four to 15 more years for the criminal sexual assault charge. Probation is possible for the third charge, aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Lopez will be arraigned in front of Circuit Judge Timothy Sheldon Friday, and is being held on $1 million bail in the Kane County Jail. Mandatory DNA testing for felons has led to the arrests of many criminals throughout the state, Hull said. A murder that took place 25 years ago in southern Illinois was finally solved recently after a man in Kane County who was arrested for burglary submitted a DNA sample. “His DNA matched evidence at the crime scene, and we could tie him to it,” Hull said. “(DNA testing) has definitely resulted in a lot of cases being tried.” http://www.chicagosuburbannews.com/stcharles/homepage/x1123491932

I cant read that whole thing.

Anyone who commits any kind of sexual offense should be in jail for at least 25 years. The people they hurt lost alot more then 25 years with the pain they are caused.

As with this guy....they've even been caught before and set loose to do it again. Aurora is a huge illegal and gang area and it's spreading.

So pack dresses, and cut shirts/skirts. It is beautiful there you will love it!! It does cost more than 10 euros a day though, so bring extra. For for phone to work you have to be on a certain phone plan, I know for sure that verizon does if you are on a certain plan though. Have fun!!!!!! (the beaches there are like little pebbles, so bring flip flops!) Make sure while you are there, to walk the whole country (its only 5 miles!) Then when you come home you can say you walked the country! On one side of the country there are beaches and homes, the other there are boat docks which are also beautiful. Eat at a really yummy restraunt by the boat dock, it is quite large a lot of people will prob be there, but I froget the name. It will not be hard to find.

You should be able to find something suitable there, or try looking in places where you never have, like Vertigo or Armani Exchange.

Is this really how taxes work

Is this really how taxes work?
How Taxes Work . . . This is a VERY simple way to understand the tax laws. Read on -- it does make you think!! Let's put tax cuts in terms everyone can understand. Suppose that every day, ten men go out for dinner. The bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: The first four men — the poorest — would pay nothing; the fifth would pay $1, the sixth would pay $3, the seventh $7, the eighth $12, the ninth $18, and the tenth man — the richest — would pay $59. That's what they decided to do. The ten men ate dinner in the restaurant every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement — until one day, the owner threw them a curve (in tax language a tax cut). "Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily meal by $20." So now dinner for the ten only cost $80.00. The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffected. They would still eat for free. But what about the other six — the paying customers? How could they divvy up the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his "fair share?" The six men realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, Then the fifth man and the sixth man would end up being PAID to eat their meal. So the restaurant owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay. And so the fifth man paid nothing, the sixth pitched in $2, the seventh paid $5, the eighth paid $9, the ninth paid $12, leaving the tenth man with a bill of $52 instead of his earlier $59. Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to eat for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings. "I only got a dollar out of the $20," declared the sixth man who pointed to the tenth. "But he got $7!" "Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man, "I only saved a dollar, too . . . It's unfair that he got seven times more than me!". "That's true!" shouted the seventh man, "why should he get $7 back when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!" "Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison, "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!" The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night he didn't show up for dinner, so the nine sat down and ate without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered, a little late what was very important. They were FIFTY-TWO DOLLARS short of paying the bill! Imagine that! And that, boys and girls, journalists and college instructors, is how the tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up at the table anymore. There are lots of good restaurants in Monaco and the Caribbean.

Be a nanny or au pair in London or Paris for the fall, do a winter season as a chalet helper in France, Austria or Switzerland, then go and tour Australia late spring and early summer, maybe scuba diving between Cairns and Sydney. Why? You will go to one of the world's coolest city and not have to pay to stay, you can learn how to ski/board really well, you'll get to visit a continent you will probably never have the vacation time to visit again - and Oz is really cool, especially Sydney - and you will see the world and get to see things from a new perspective, maybe learn a language and have picked up a few friends and life skills along the way.

For make-up, you should by make-up there, as it will be good quiality && they might give you a discount. also, you would be modelling it for them as everyone who goes there would be speaking to you. You could ask the salon, or go on youtube for natural make-up tips as they have alot. For hair, just a nice, natural layered look is all you need and if you wanted you could straighten it.

wow, you dying!!! how about simple eye makeup with green liner and brown and gold shadow. You can have lip liner along with the lipstick or skip both and wear lip gloss. You can always try a side part, it makes you look different. For clothes you can try to wear big earrings with your hair pulled back. Or get side swept bangs.

another great store is The Limited and even Target has gotten alot cuter clothes. The way you style your hair depends on your age. Curling your hair is always really cute. For the first day do your makeup how you normally do it and maybe ask the other girls at the salon any tips they have because they've been working there longer. GOOD LUCK AT YOUR NEW JOB!

Damn, that must be one high-paying receptionist job if you can afford to shop at Club Monaco. I would suggest that you spend more of your budget on the waist up, because that is what will be visible to your customers most of the time. (In other words, buy a cheaper pair of jeans or slacks and spend the extra on a better quality jacket or top). I'd also give some thought to ease of care -- you will be working in an environment where people are walking around with chemicals, dyes, shampoos, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if you are expected to help keep the salon tidy when you're not busy. Get stuff that is washable (not stuff that has to be dry-cleaned after one wearing). As for your hair -- leave it for now, and get to know the stylists! I'm sure they will have great ideas for you. If they have apprentices, you might even get the cut for free. Good luck and congrats on the new job.

The stores you mentioned should be good options. I recommend doing your hair and makeup simple but cute for the first few days until you get a feel for what your coworkers do. For great hair and makeup demos, check out www.pursebuzz.com

Do you have to work on weekends doing retail

Do you have to work on weekends doing retail?
I was looking for a retail job in which we have a local mall near where I live. We have a Nordstroms, Jc Penny and Macys. We also have a Banana Republic, Express Club Monaco, and J Crew all being higher end retailers. There is also Gap, Urban Outfitters Ambercrombie, Hollister, American Eagle Outfitters, and Aerostopale. Plus Pac Sun, Zumirez, Dockers, Michael Brandon, Levi's and Guess. There are so many different places I could work at our local mall. I don't have any retail experience.I'm not available to work on Saturdays. I would only be available on Sundays sometimes. Like during Christmas season I could work on Sundays. During the summer I can't work on weekends. I was looking for a job where I could work Afternoons and Early evenings. I was looking for a job where I could work Monday, Wednesday and possibly Friday. This is tough since most employers want you to work on weekends. I would be available say on Mondays and Wednesdays like 2pm to 7 or 2pm to 9 or something like that. I don't think I'm being unresonable as During the afternoon as evenings is when people come in to to shop and this is when I would plan to work. I don't want to be working mornings anyways. American Eagle Outfitters is one of the few I know from other reviews doesn't require weekends. The big problem is many like a Macy's want you to work weekends and be available at all times. American Eagle Outfitters is one of the few I heard where they try to work around your school schedule since younger people shop there and they higher younger people. I'm 27 so i'm at this point where I might be a little old to be working at place like Ambercrombie and to work somewhere like J Crew a 27 year old might not be the person you would see in one of there stores.

Should I move to Monaco and try to avoid USA taxes

Should I move to Monaco and try to avoid USA taxes?
Given, they are only about 15% of my income, but I know millions of legal, but non-citizen residents move out of USA after retiring and receive USA social security payments because they contributed to SS during work in USA. They move to low or no income tax country. Well, I am retired US citizen and only income is small SS and disabled veteran pension total $650 and medium pension from Fed and state civil service. Going broke and wonder if moving out will help. Big question is will I lose pensions if taking a duel citizenship. Maybe not Monaco, but Canada. My mother was Canadian, so I believe I can claim Canadian citizenship. Mostly I have to save paycheck from local, State and Federal taxes w/o losing small income I have or my US citizenship.

Problem 1) US Citizens are taxed on their worldwide income whether they live in the US or not. You would have to renounce your US Citizenship and become a citizen of another country. Problem 2) Taxes in the US are LOWER than most other developed countries. By the way, you can not just move to Monaco. They don't allow just anybody in.
2 :
you will loose all your benefits
3 :
1. Monaco isn't interested in granting you permanent residence status. You need a net worth in excess of around $20 million before they'd consider your application. 2. As a US citizen, you are subject to US taxation on your world-wide income so residing in Monaco won't get you off the hood for US taxes. 3. Surrendering US citizenship solely to avoid US taxes won't get you off the hook for 10 full years. 4. If you want to surrender your citizenship, you'll have to pick some place other than Monaco. While Monaco might grant you permanent residence, citizenship is out of the question. 5. Most other countries -- at least those that you might want to live in -- have higher taxes than the US does so moving there will cost you in the long run. The overall cost of living in most of those countries will be higher as well. 6. Surrendering your citizenship may cost you some of those pension benefits. 7. 15% Federal income tax reverse engineers to over $65,000 per year. Even if you're kicking in 5% on state income taxes, it still crunches to around $50,000 per year. If you're having trouble making ends meet as a single person on that income, try a financial counselor.

WHICH "rights" should the arabs who live in Gaza have? those of the Israeli citizen? But they are not Israeli citizens. They want to enter Israel? It´s their problem, Israel is free to let them in or not. How "strange": Israel does not grant entrance to its territory to those who officially declared that their goal is the destruction of Israel! I want to go to live to Monaco and to work their as its Prince. But for some reason, Monaco does not free this vacancy for me. Shame to Monaco! Arabs who live in Judea and Samaria: this part of Israel is divided in 3 parts. Area "A", which is under total civilian and military control of Mahmud Abbas and his Fatah gang, Area "B", controlled administratively by Mahmud Abbas but where militar control is carried out by Israel, and Area "C", fully controlled by Israel. The population of the areas "A" and "B" is practicaly all arab. The population of the area "C" is practically all Jewish. What "rights" should the arabs who live in the areas "A" and "B" have? They are not Israeli citizens, they pretend to create their own state, and their official goal, as well as that of Hamas, is to destroy Israel; what "rights" should Israel give to them? To elect the President of Israel? Or maybe to elect the Queen of Great Britian? If arabs want to be autonomous, they can not pretent on having the same rights as the citizens of Israel. Is this simple axioma clear, arabs?

As u said...aRabs in Gaza live under hAmas rule. So those people have no mind of their own. The fact is they cannot even see the whole truth because the media controls what they can see. Only if they go online can they see what the world sees. Even then they will be watched by their own government.

"Is this simple axioma clear, arabs?" Yes it is clear, Jew. But, how about the fact how Gaza is blockaded and surrounded by Israel. And everything is checked that can go in and out. It's like a jail.

:) Are you joking? Whats happening in Palestine speaks for itself. Your theory is an epic fail, anybody with half a brain knows that gaza does not have the proper freedom to govern itself. What country in the world does not have control over its own borders? Over its own airspace? what country does not have an airport? This whole "hamas controls gaza" is the lie that you tell yourself every night so you can continue to live happily in denial. For a long time, Zionists have been propagating fear based propaganda to their followers, like how the Palestinians want to "push the Jews into the sea" or "calling out for their destruction". It's misleading and unfair to focus on what Palestinians might allegedly do in the future, while the past and present of Palestinians are filled with Israeli war crimes! These types of accusations are meant to deflect and confuse the core issues of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The core issues of the conflict are the collective DISPOSSESSION and ETHNIC CLEANSING (compulsory population transfer) of the Palestinian people for the past five decades. Got it Jew?

Actually I think that Israel should give back* Israel to the Palestinians. However, since Israel never did that before they are waiting for American to be returned to the Native Americans and England to the Anglos etc. When the Gazens sent over the rockets to Israel they were just trying to help Israel, when Israel retaliated the Gazens didn't know what to do. Even though Gaza turned out to be a disaster I think that the Palestinians should be gven a 3rd, 4th (oops, I lost track) chance. * Palestinians are a recent group of people who formed after Israel was.

A Palestinian identity did not exist until an opposing force created it -- primarily anti-Zionism. Opposition to a non-Muslim nationalism on what local Arabs, and the entire Arab world, view as their own turf, was the only expression of 'Palestinian peoplehood.' The Grand Mufti Hajj Amin al-Husseini, a charismatic religious leader and radical anti-Zionist was the moving force behind opposition to Jewish immigration in the 1920s and 1930s. The two-pronged approach of the "Diplomacy of Rejection" (of Zionism) and the violence the Mufti incited occurred at the same time Lebanon, Syria, Transjordan and Iraq became countries in the post-Ottoman reshuffling of territories established by the British and the French under the League of Nation's mandate system. The tiny educated class among the Arabs of Palestine was more politically aware than the rest of Arab society, with the inklings of a separate national identity. However, for decades, the primary frame of reference for most local Arabs was the clan or tribe, religion and sect, and village of origin. If Arabs in Palestine defined themselves politically, it was as "southern Syrians." Under Ottoman rule, Syria referred to a region much larger than the Syrian Arab Republic of today, with borders established by France and England in 1920. .

i went for a job in a shoe shop once and they asked me how i would handle the following situation: 1. You are in the shop by yourself and are serving a customer 2. Another customer enters the store 3. A delivery of stock arrives and you need to accept it 4. The phone is ringing They ask you what you qualities you can bring to the business, why you want to work there (and your best option is NOT to say because you need the money, go with some thing like, you love the brand).

Know the details of any store credit card/customer loyalty program cold. Managers want to see that you are interested enough in the store that you're familiar with it and also that you could sell/explain it to a customer. Be able to talk about customer service experience - even if all you have is a volunteer position at the library, spin it. Dress, look, and act the part. You need to be someone that customers can relate to, so show it (in a very professional manner). Make sure you stress your responsibility, especially if your resume is not very upfront about it. Even if you're not the best salesperson out there people will hire you if they're sure you'll show up to work. If you can demonstrate that you are mature, responsible, friendly, and relateable a manager will be willing to hire you even without experience. Training a sales associate isn't that difficult so while experience may be preferred it's certainly not necessary for those kinds of jobs. Also realize that with the economy the way it is, people are applying for associates positions when they are much more qualified for management, etc. It's quite possible that you'll get a job, but if you don't it may not be because you did something "wrong" - it's just a very, very competitive market right now.

Though I would make one minor adjustment, trade out the khakis for a slightly darker dress pant. If you are wearing a lighter color on top, it should be balanced with a darker color on bottom. it's more complimentary.

It does not matter where you work. Whatever entity you set up, you will wish to take profits out of the business to live on, right? In that case, you will have to pay NY taxes becaus that is where you live. Remember, not all free advice is worth the money! (Think about it.) You should consult with a NY CPA, who will be able to advise you best. Do not rush to a low-tax jurisdiction without considering the effect on your own personal return. Ultimately, that is the bottom line.

I think all three of those descriptions are fairly extreme to apply to a person. 1) I mean she was a healthy beautiful unattached woman. If she wanted a one night stand with John F Kennedy Jr. who could blame her? Millions of women would say yes. Do you remember "the contest" episode of Seinfeld where JFK Jr was working out in Elaine's gym? Let's face it, most women are not nuns. 2) She certainly had deep loyalties to charity, and was clearly a good mother. 3) I think she clearly did some petty things. I have done many things in my life that I am not proud of, so I can't fault her. ======================== Royalty is hard on people. I mean celebrity can be awful as well, but at least celebrities usually chose to become celebrities. Politicians often move to new positions in their life where they are no longer of widespread interest. Royals can't get away from the attention.

Diana grew up in an environment of her two parents going to full-scale war during their divorce. After years of taking abuse from her drunken husband, Diana's mother finally bolted. Although Diana's sisters seem to have survived the experience and become fairly well-adjusted adults, both Diana and her brother had what can only be referred to as "personality problems"....which are quite well documented. Diana was trained at nothing except what made Diana feel good at the time. She failed miserably at school, and even lacked the intelligence and self-control to complete the studies at "finishing school"...which are, quite frankly, designed to teach even the stupidest girls how to behave nicely in public;...and are certainly NOT difficult. She never RAN a charity...the Palace scheduled and arranged for her to show up for the events the charities held...and she read speeches prepared for her by Palace staff personnel. The "humanitarian work" at West Heath referred to in your question is a matter of accompanying the rest of her class on a school-planned field trip to a retirement home. The next week they probably went to a zoo, but that does not constitute "veterinarian work". The only thing one can tell that she worked hard at was promoting herself...and most of her efforts were devoted to either her personal grooming, or following the advice of image consultants to promote her "public image". She was, from all accounts, also a poor mother....failing to exercise enough self-control to refrain from engaging in full scenes at home in front of the children....and then, later, revealing intimate details of her marriage and her infidelities in such a public way that it was a complete humiliation for her sons, and has even led to speculation as to the father of her second son. This is clearly not the work of a good mother! Yet, as with all troubled people, one must simply say that she was some of all of your categories. Too bad that she could not have gotten some professional help with her problems early on. One can only wonder why anyone would suggest her as a positive role model to emulate. Even the dear Queen Mother and Diana's own grandmother were ashamed of Diana and how she behaved. It's pretty bad when your own grandmother is ashamed of you, and the Queen Mother was famous for her tolerance of other people's foibles. One can also only wonder why someone who professed to be such an admirer of the UK Royal Family would hold such a high opinion of someone who, out of extreme selfishness, brought the Queen and her children scandal, embarrassment, and betrayal.

Those are personal questions that nobody else can answer for you.

Dress nicely, bring a resume, and just go into the store and ask for an application. Most retail places are used to people doing walk-ins, especially if they are in a mall or similar commercial area. If you have decent experience, you shouldn't have a problem. If you don't have any retail experience, they might still hire you or you can try a more common place such as Abercrombie or Gap where turnover is high and your likelihood of getting hired is better. Also holidays are coming up so tons of places are looking for staff.

3 :
DEFINITELY A SCAM. It is hard to find grants to start a business or for personal purposes. Government is simply not handing out money to anyone because it feels like it. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business or for personal purposes. I hope that you did not give your bank details. Also, government grant information is FREE. You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture. Even if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.
