Is Global Resorts Network better than YTB as both are travel businesses? I joined global resorts then found ytb. YTB seems to be an excellent business, but for last minute travel. It concentrates on hotel vacations, has an upfront cost & monthly fee. But I loved their owner's speech on the travel biz, & their site is excellent. Global Resorts Network is very new on the net, started dec 06. Its affiliated with a company that has been in business 20 years.. its the marketing arm. It has a onetime fee only, no monthly fees. Plus their market is different ... grn concentrates on luxury travel to 4 & 5 star resorts worldwide (though it covers hotels & does cruises & travel same as YTB) But you can book in advance with GRN (as well as up to 72 hours before a trip).They encourage you to call them for special arrangements. Their prices are better GRN owners setup Global Resorts because of timeshare experiences, as owners & sellers.Timeshares have maintenance fees & no travel choice Which biz do U like? http://www.globalresortsnetwork.shorturl.com

Should I fly economy or business? At 85 I'm making a once and for all visit to a cousin in Australia. Should I travel economy or should I dig deeply into capital and enjoy the luxury of business class?

What type of business is good? I am going to college soon and would like to major in business to someday graduate and have a successful and good job. I was wondering what options there are in business that I could pursue. I want to make a very good living, so I can live comfortably and support myself and not live pay check to pay check and still have a few luxuries like travel and such. Any ideas or comments are greatly appreaciated. Thank you.

Why the luxury? I saw a television evangelist a few months ago hassling people to donate money so that he could buy a private jet. If people donated enough, he promised to put their name on a plaque in the prayer room at the back of the jet. While he was asking for this, he sat in a room full of luxurious antique furniture. Then they showed footage of him hyping up a crowd and and going through a very transparent round of "healing" people. Isn't travelling business class on a commercial jet good enough if he wants to spread God's word? Does owning lavish antiques make him heal better? Personally, I think the act was so obvious that I can't help but question his sincerity.

Have you staid at the Westin Las Vegas (Casuarina) ? My husband is staying there on business, the hotel choice made by the company travel department for reason of having a discount I guess; he had no choice. My husband has only been to Vegas once, many many years ago, and he had to stay at some little cheap hotel, which was bug infested. I'm sure the Westin is better than that, but the other guys he is traveling with for business, say that the Westin isn't great. Now I read reviews that their elevators are ALWAYS having problems. Anyone with experience staying there? I know it's slightly off of the strip, I know it's not a luxury hotel (no theme etc), and I know the pool is relatively small.

could anyone help me to summarize this paragraph in no more than 3 sentences? Around the end of the nineteenth century, wooden sailing ships and steel-hulled steamships were in competition for business on the high seas. Sailing ships were at a disadvantage because they were smaller and slower than the steamships, and the routes they could follow were dependent on the wind. But steamships also had a disadvantage: they had to carry coal to produce the steam, and this took up space that could otherwise have been used for carrying cargo. In addition, they had to make stops along the way at coaling stations to replenish their bunkers. In time, steam engines would be powered by oil instead of coal, andlater, steam engins would be repaced by powerful diesel engines, this brought an end to the sailing ship and made it possible for major shipping companies to build huge luxury liners, such as the 305-metre long Normandie, which could carry 2000 passengers and travel at over 50 Kilometeres an hour. However, just as stell steamships had earlier replaced wooden sailing ships, in a few dacades jumbo jets wuold bring an end to luxury liners carrying a wide range of passengers from point A to point B. Today, the main business of these vessels is taking wealthier tourists on exotic cruises. Thank you very much ^^

My solution is a strait sales tax, say 30%, so all can pay for the American dream, equally. This lady down the street gets about $6k a month, from child support, ssi and/or ssd. Total taxes paid about $800 a year in property taxes on her rent. ANY THING that is required by the government, fee's, permit's, that cost money is a tax. Yes there is a well permit tax http://marathon.mi-twp.org/mt_residential_plumbing.pdf

Airplane Itinerary Question: Departure/Arrival Times, Where I sit, etc.? It's been quite a long time since I've had the luxury of flying on a plane (I grew up travelling overseas with my parents as a child ), but it's been so long that I have no idea how it's done per se. Anyhow, the question is as follows: Depart: INDIANAPOLIS, 2:10PM Arrive: NEWARK EWR, 4:15PM Depart: NEWARK EWR, 6:25PM Arrive: ST JOHNS NFLD, 10:56PM Now with that information given, are the times presented based on the airport I arrive in, or is it a generalized time for where the person has bought the ticket from?? Like, is my wait in Newark 2 hours once I arrive before leaving to St.John's?? Next, I was told on my itinerary I could find what plane to search for to find where my seat would be.. I have googled every portion of my details and nothing has came up. Example: Flight: CO*3263 *Operated by EXPRESSJET AIRLINES INC doing business as CONTINENTAL EXPRESS Class: V Equipment: ERJ-145 Any help or kind explanations would put me at ease and be appreciated! To Renate: Yes, I do have my passport and everything is booked. However, my boyfriend up in St.John's , who lives there, booked it all, so I was still left in the dark as far as questions go because I wasn't the one on the phone booking! Hah. I'm looking very much forward to it. Thanks for the clarification also on the time! To Martian1174: Thanks a ton for that link and your answer :) Tirya: Bingo!, Thanks a ton for that link!

Are you happy with this? Poles working in the UK sent home an estimated £1.8billion last year. Money Downing Street hoped might be ploughed into the British economy is instead financing a property and consumer boom in Poland. The Polish Central Bank said the two million Poles who left home to work elsewhere in Europe sent home at least £3billion in 2007 via money orders and electronic financial transactions. It is estimated that around half of them are in the UK. One Warsaw newspaper estimated the amount sent from Britain to be a record £1.8billion, ten per cent up on 2006. But the Central Bank said the actual figure could be considerably higher. Its statistics do not take into account the thousands of Poles who preferred to travel home on coaches or planes with their earnings in cash. This would include those working in the "black economy" and thus not paying tax. Experts say the figure for 2008 is likely to be even higher as Poles continue to cash in on the good wages available in the UK. Economists said the money was being used to buy property and to invest in businesses in Poland. A female shop assistant in Bilgroraj in southern Poland, said her husband, who works as a decorator in London, had benefited from new bank offers which enable Poles to transfer money to Polish accounts without paying commission. She said: "My husband earns more from a week's work in Britain than I do in several months here in Poland. "We have four children and without that money we couldn't support the family at the kind of level we are now." Professor Leszek Gilejko, director of the Social Economics Faculty at the Warsaw School of Economics, said: "This is a very positive phenomenon. Emigrants are supporting our country and economy. "The influx of cash is changing the face of society in Poland." Jan Tadueski, a sociologist, said: "While many Poles in the UK are not earning big bucks by local standards, what they send back to Poland each month is more than providing food. It is providing luxuries". Orders for washing machines, cars and other consumer items are on the rise and the property market, particularly in Warsaw and Krakow, is flourishing. A spokesman for the Polish hypermarket chain Real said: "Over the last year we've seen a significant increase in the sales of white and electronic goods. "The quality of goods purchased is improving too. We have seen a general increase in the sales of premium brands." The Polish economy is expected to grow by around 5.5 per cent this year and the national currency, the zloty, has become stronger. But the migration has led to labour shortages in some areas of the economy, pushing up wages.

Why am I so jealous? One of my best friends is currently in Spain doing a one year course in business. She is there with another friend of hers from her previous university. At the moment they are touring across Europe and I saw her pics and I feel so jealous. I got married last year and am in North America, currently waiting for my paperwork so that I can start working. I haven't been on any holidays or shopping - haven't treated myself to a spa or had any luxuries since I got married and I feel so bitter. I am currently trying to lose weight and have joined a gym. I am trying to go from a UK size 14 to a size10. I know it's not impossible but it's proving very difficult. I look at my friends pictures and think that a couple of years ago that was me having fun with my other single friends, travelling etc. Now I feel that I have no identity. It's only when I see her pics I feel like this. Otherwise I am happily married, I love my husband and we have a great relationship.

Seven years ago I came to the US-no english,no friends, so I started in the hotel business-houseman,hskp.supervisor, executive housekeeper..after 5 yeras I took 1 year break-travel and think about what I would like to do for the rest of my life.

Are you starting to think of alternatives to your car for regular daily travel? If so, is that a good thing? I have found out that it is cheaper for me to take the luxury bus on a bi-weekly 100 mile trip (for business), than to travel alone in my car (average 24 miles/gallon + tolls + parking; NOT counting maintenance of car, insurance, taxes, etc). It is also more comfortable and possibly faster because the bus can use HOV lanes. Rebecca, are you trying to sell me insurance? :-) I do not think that gas prices are going to come down significantly. My point is that many people will be forced to change their ways, including myself, and maybe that is going to result in energy savings (not only on a personal basis) but for the whole planet.

Why are teens feeling like the home is the last remaining place to enjoy Democracy in this Police Nation ? American teens have a lot of luxuries so why do they feel they must stay indoors or they'll be sorry. America is a Police Nation. there is a law for everything. and almost everything is a crime. if you do something people don't like. a new law is created. there are so many laws here you can't even live life without a law degree. as soon as you step out the door you are breaking some laws in America. it just a matter of time before you are seen breaking one of the many laws in this Police Nation. teens are staying just stay at home! America teens feel like prisoners to their homes. being born in America. i was taught that the rest of the world is living in hell. But i traveled on business and found this was not the case in over 100 countries. when i travel to different countries i don't see teens scared to be teens like you see in the states. police in USA complain they feel like older people don't want young people to enjoy being young . why is there a war on youth ?

Should I stay or should I go?! I am trying my best to sensibly evaluate whether or not to leave my secure but life-draining corporate job to work in a more ideal work environment. I would be working with a friend and his business partner helping them manage a burgeoning tech company that their investment firm owns a majority stake in. I will start out making slightly less money, but will be given a luxury company car, will work out of my home office with some light travel a few times a month, and the job has nearly unlimited growth potential because of a liberal bonus plan which includes partial ownership of the company's holdings and investments. They have said that they will structure the job pretty much however I want, either with me being self-employed or as an employee. The problem is, I don't know enough about any of that to know which is the most advantageous tax-wise and therefor I can't determine if I can afford the temporary pay cut. They insist I will be living more comfortably because I'll be keeping more of my money, but I have no idea if they're right about that. What can I do to help make an informed decision? My salary would drop from 73k per year to 70k, but I would have to purchase my own medical and life insurance for a family of 5. Due to current debts, we're living closer to the edge than we would like to be and I really need to be sure that this is going to move us in the right direction. I have already priced health insurance and believe I can get something comparable to what I have now for around $425 a month. The plan I have at work costs over $1000 and I pay $325 of it, so only a $100 difference. The coverage might be a little better, but nowhere near enough to justify the $1000+ cost, so I don't know if they just pulled that number of out a hat or what. As for the tech book issue, this is an established ISP that has a lot of growth potential in its geographical area, it isn't meeting the demand for its product and we have plans to remedy that situation. I feel that I am marketable enough and young enough that if it doesn't work out I will be able to find something similar to what I have now.

How do I get my son to see what his friend have been telling him is ridiculous? My 22 years old son has only two semesters to go before he gets his bachelor degree. He’s still living with the family at the moment. He work part time at a coffee shop and want to be chemical engineer after he graduate. At coffee shop that he works at, he has a coworker/friend who is majoring in business. This guy is making me crazy. He keep put all stupid idea in my friend’s mind. My son has been begging me to let him sell his car that we bought for him two years ago. He says if he sells the car, he’ll save $345 on gas and insurance. He even made a chart that shows he can save up to $500 a month if he sells the car. He says he want to sell his car for $4,000 and buy a bike and save everything else. He says he want to finish college and get a job and save as much as possible for a year so he can buy a house instead of renting. He also says he is considering to not owning a car until he retire. He also have been really bugging me about how I manage moneys. I bought a new television a couple months ago, my son keep telling me that I should haven’t bought new one since the old one was working fine. He tells me if I would have continued to save, I could have enough for a down payment for a new house and rent it out by end of year. He also is trying to talk me into not buying s motorhome that I’ve been saving up for a long time. He’s trying to tell me I can easily put down payment on two or even three houses or buy a business or stock and make profit out of it. My son even made a scrap book with all stuff he wants such as are he want to travel to, his dream house, his dream boat for fishing, and other things. He say this motivate him to save even more. He want things such as owning a lake with couple cabins and hotels to rent out so he don’t have to work and can fish everyday or travel. My son also is always talking about how people fall in keeping up with the Jones trap. He considers many things as unnecessary luxury. I’ve tried to explain him that they didn’t fall into it, it is just a popular thing at the time that people get into and it makes them happy. He just says it didn’t make them happy, they just want to keep up with others. All idea his friend put in his mind is absurd. I’m afraid that his friend is setting him up for a big disappointment. His friend hasn’t even bought a house or finish college yet and yet he’s playing finical advisor for my son. My son takes every single of his advices very seriously and is trying to follow it religiously. I want my son to realize that his friend know nothing and that if my son want to have all those things he dream of, he’ll need to find a really good job and really work his butt off for it. I don’t want him to continue live with false hope and hollow dream only to be hurt in the end. How can I show him that by selling his car, he’s doing himself a great disservice?

Career Advice: What do I want to do with myself? What kind of resources are there to choose a career? Alright, so I'm in my 20s. I finished number 1 in my program in undergrad, and I'm number 1 in my top ranked graduate program. I've won every academic and leadership honor I could, and have lead the student governments and organizations I've been a part of with only great reviews. I've written a book, spoke in conferences, and even have patents in my name- I've gotten numerous, even high paying full time job offers, mostly for finance, investment banking, marketing, and general management- However, the thought of any of the jobs I've been looking at just seem completely unappealing. I know I'll be miserable in any of them. Theres got to be something I'm interested in, as I have a lot of interests, but I just haven't had any luck. I've worked through the guides in the career centers and the such, but with no luck- they are all limited to like 50 different job options. I know not everyone has the luxury of being "picky" but since I do, how do I best find something I can enjoy doing so I am not miserable? I am a work-aholic, and in the short-term positions I have held such as internships and my own businesses, I've excelled. I just get bored with them way too fast- the only thing that keeps me going is the "hope" that theres something better down the road. I'd love the variety in something like consulting too, but I can't stand travel (plus I physically don't fit in airplanes- i'm too tall unless I'm in first class or business class). I enjoy self employment, but I need some stability while I pay off my loans (Full ride for grad school, but undergrad loans still exist) I'm an alternative fuel engineer undergrad, MBA grad. I love anything to do with the automotive world, and I enjoy business. I'm most recognized for leadership, management, creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship. I kind of feel like a snob with what I'm saying- usually I don't like to rest on my past, and instead look to the future. I thought it may be necessary to get some good answers though! When I try to talk to career services they always brush me off and tell me most students would kill for the kind of offers I get. I just don't really fit in to the "system" I guess... any help in identifying resources to help find the type of positions I may be interested in is appreciated. Thanks! Based on the response I see- I don't really care how much I make. In I-Banking I know six digits would be possible. Maybe I have to suck it up and do something like that, but I'd be happy with 30-40k doing something I enjoyed, even though most my peers are getting jobs in the 60-80k range. Money just isn't a big deal for me- as long as I can pay off my loans and continue paying my mortgage, I'm happy.

How do I get my son to see what his friend have been telling him is ridiculous? ? My 22 years old son has only two semesters to go before he gets his bachelor degree. He’s still living with the family at the moment. He work part time at a coffee shop and want to be chemical engineer after he graduate. At coffee shop that he works at, he has a coworker/friend who is majoring in business. This guy is making me crazy. He keep put all stupid idea in my friend’s mind. My son has been begging me to let him sell his car that we bought for him two years ago. He says if he sells the car, he’ll save $345 on gas and insurance. He even made a chart that shows he can save up to $500 a month if he sells the car. He says he want to sell his car for $4,000 and buy a bike and save everything else. He says he want to finish college and get a job and save as much as possible for a year so he can buy a house instead of renting. He also says he is considering to not owning a car until he retire. He also have been really bugging me about how I manage moneys. I bought a new television a couple months ago, my son keep telling me that I should haven’t bought new one since the old one was working fine. He tells me if I would have continued to save, I could have enough for a down payment for a new house and rent it out by end of year. He also is trying to talk me into not buying s motorhome that I’ve been saving up for a long time. He’s trying to tell me I can easily put down payment on two or even three houses or buy a business or stock and make profit out of it. My son even made a scrap book with all stuff he wants such as are he want to travel to, his dream house, his dream boat for fishing, and other things. He say this motivate him to save even more. He want things such as owning a lake with couple cabins and hotels to rent out so he don’t have to work and can fish everyday or travel. My son also is always talking about how people fall in keeping up with the Jones trap. He considers many things as unnecessary luxury. I’ve tried to explain him that they didn’t fall into it, it is just a popular thing at the time that people get into and it makes them happy. He just says it didn’t make them happy, they just want to keep up with others. All idea his friend put in his mind is absurd. I’m afraid that his friend is setting him up for a big disappointment. His friend hasn’t even bought a house or finish college yet and yet he’s playing finical advisor for my son. My son takes every single of his advices very seriously and is trying to follow it religiously. I want my son to realize that his friend know nothing and that if my son want to have all those things he dream of, he’ll need to find a really good job and really work his butt off for it. I don’t want him to continue live with false hope and hollow dream only to be hurt in the end. How can I show him that by selling his car, he’s doing himself a great disservice?

What type of phobia is this (resorts, cruise ships, fancy hotels, etc.)? I'm totally freaked out by huge resorts, luxury cruises and super nice hotels. To me, they see like fake utopias where vacationers are convinced into believing that they're special world travelers who are actually seeing another culture. And they're not. They're just wealthy people who think the rest of the world is all kicks and giggles and are ignorant to most of what's going on around them. I didn't mean to offend anybody by this question. But I really want to know what this phobia is. It really bothers me, because my family is totally the opposite, so whenever we go on a vacation it feels like I'm being brainwashed by the travel business. I'd love to go on a cheap vacation where I lived off of what could fit in a backpack and I just stayed at cheap hostels for the night. Is there a name for my fear?

Do you agree Melbourne & Australia is pretty average? I am 24 years old and have lived in Melbourne Australia all my life. I have backpacked Europe several months and the USA for several months as well. Having seen alot of the world, I often wonder why Australians continuously say "This is the best country in the world!" or "Mate, we live in the lucky country eh!" or most often "It's good to travel overseas but it makes you realise how lucky we are to live here!" Whilst I think Australia and Melbourne is comfortable to live in, I don't think it's necessarily "the best place in the world!" when compared to other countries. Why? See below a) Australia has only 3 "big" cities - Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane. Once you've seen and explored them several times there is not much else busy going on. b) Melbourne lacks beaches. The port is dirty. Beaches in places like Cairns and Far North Queensland are shut in Summer because of deadly box jellyfish that move in. c) Housing is extremely unaffordable. 6.5 time the average household income per year (compared to 3x in the USA). If you want to live "inner city" in Melbourne which is about 20-30 mins away from the city in decent subarbs without hoons, crime and gangs you pay literally millions for a house and hundreds of thousands for units of apartments with no land. d) Prices - Prices are insanely high and inflation is growing. Also caused by the drought. I mean, $3.50 for a 600ml bottle of coke? that is ridiculous. Any dinner at a restaurant that's decent costs $25-$50 these days and meat prices have shot up. Also everything imported costs so much more than the US/Europe because of Australia's tiny population and distance away from the rest of the developed world. e) Transport - Transport, even in big cities like Melbourne and Sydney is totally sub-par. There is no underground railway, and trains are slow, over-clogged and do not run efficiently. Often to go from East to West by train you have to go North then change trains and come back down. Trams are slow, clogged, inefficient, almost always late and yet the Gov't continuously promotes them over cars, even to the extent that major roads in the city have lost all but 1 lane, to trams that don't event run continuously! f) Tax - Australians are some of the most heavily taxed people in the world. GST (Sales tax) is at 10%, Income Taxes are high, Stamp duty on property is 5%!!!, Capital Gains Tax is high, Luxury Car tax is at 140% of the car's value!!!, car "registration" is approximately $600 and road toll's are increasingly common, Superannuation (retirement savings) are taxed at 15%, Businesses are taxed at 30%, Alcohol is taxed at 40% - where the hell does all this tax money go? g) Proximity - Australia is far away from Europe and the USA. Even Asia. Any time you want to see anything other than the "lucky country" it's going to cost you about $2,000+ to fly out of here. h) Crime - Crime is on the rise, largely due to poor immigration choices of unskilled, unintelligent migrants from Africa and the Middle East. The city of Melbourne and Sydney is dangerous at night with all of the gangs around.

How much shoud I spend in Madrid for eating per day? I'm planning to travel to Madrid in december and I am making my budget, how much should spend in Madrid for eating per day? My trip is going to be something simple, just for business a few days, nothing luxury.

What is it like being a quantity surveyor? I love buildings and especially old buildings but i hated history at school so dropped it in year 9. I also don't want to continue art at college as im not overly amazing at it (predicted B at GCSE) (i am currently in yr11 and all other GCSEs are predicted A*) I like the idea of renovating old buildings into new luxury apartments, but still keeping the traditional materials etc but would like to be behind the scenes more. i.e on the business side of things. I am also weirdly good at maths (predicted A*) and i don't know what career would suit me by the way i also love traveling. please could you give me any information on quantity surveying, especially if this is your job, or any other career suggestions? thanks :)

Did you pay for Palin's kids to travel to see daddy snowmobile? As per this investigative AP story the citizens of Alaska were billed for travel costs for Palin's kids to see daddy's snowmobile races. "The charges included costs for hotel and commercial flights for three daughters to join Palin to watch their father in a snowmobile race, and a trip to New York, where the governor attended a five-hour conference and stayed with 17-year-old Bristol for five days and four nights in a luxury hotel.

If the state paid then she should have reported the money as reimbursed expenses. Although she cooked the books after being picked by McCain, this was one were she slipped up.

like how you can't mention sarah's kids, but you pay for their vacations? By BRETT J. BLACKLEDGE, ADAM GOLDMAN and MATT APUZZO, Associated Press Writers Brett J. Blackledge, Adam Goldman And Matt Apuzzo, Associated Press Writers 18 mins ago ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Gov. Sarah Palin charged the state for her children to travel with her, including to events where they were not invited, and later amended expense reports to specify that they were on official business. The charges included costs for hotel and commercial flights for three daughters to join Palin to watch their father in a snowmobile race, and a trip to New York, where the governor attended a five-hour conference and stayed with 17-year-old Bristol for five days and four nights in a luxury hotel.

Several other organizers said the children merely accompanied their mother and did not participate. The trips enabled Palin, whose main state office is in the capital of Juneau, to spend more time with her children. "She said any event she can take her kids to is an event she tries to attend," said Jennifer McCarthy, who helped organize the June 2007 Family Day Celebration picnic in Ketchikan that Piper attended with her parents. State Finance Director Kim Garnero told The Associated Press she has not reviewed the Palins' travel expense forms, so she could not say whether the daughters' travel with their mother would meet the definition of official business. On Aug. 6, three weeks before Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain chose Palin his running mate, and after Alaska reporters asked for the records, Palin ordered changes to previously filed expense reports for her daughters' travel. In the amended reports, Palin added phrases such as "First Family attending" and "First Family invited" to explain the girls' attendance. "The governor said, 'I want the purpose and the reason for this travel to be clear,'" said Linda Perez, state director of administrative services. When Palin released her family's tax records as part of her vice presidential campaign, some tax experts questioned why she did not report the children's state travel reimbursements as income. The Palins released a review by a Washington attorney who said state law allows the children's travel expenses to be reimbursed and not taxed when they conduct official state business. Taylor Griffin, a McCain-Palin campaign spokesman, said Palin followed state policy allowing governors to charge for their children's travel. He said the governor's office has invitations requesting the family to attend some events, but he said he did not have them to provide. In October 2007, Palin brought daughter Bristol along on a trip to New York for a women's leadership conference. Plane tickets from Anchorage to La Guardia Airport for $1,385.11 were billed to the state, records show, and mother and daughter shared a room for four nights at the $707.29-per-night Essex House hotel, which overlooks Central Park. The event's organizers said Palin asked if she could bring her daughter. Alexis Gelber, who organized Newsweek's Third Annual Women & Leadership Conference, said she does not know how Bristol ended up attending. Gelber said invitees usually attend alone, but some ask if they can bring a relative or friend. Griffin, the campaign spokesman, said he believes someone with the event personally sent an e-mail to Bristol inviting her, but he did not have it to provide. Records show Palin also met with Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Goldman Sachs representatives and visited the New York Stock Exchange. In January, the governor, Willow and Piper showed up at the Alaska Symphony of Seafood Buffet, an Anchorage gala to announce winners of an earlier seafood competition. "She was just there," said James Browning, executive director of Alaska Fisheries Development Foundation, which runs the event. Griffin said the governor's office received an invitation that was not specifically addressed to anyone. When Palin amended her children's expense reports, she listed a role for the two girls at the function — "to draw two separate raffle tickets." In the original travel form, Palin listed a number of events that

What do you call bringing your uninvited children to events and charging their expenses to the state? AP INVESTIGATION: Alaska funded Palin kids' travel APUZZO, Associated Press Writers Brett J. Blackledge, Adam Goldman And Matt Apuzzo, Associated Press Writers – 34 mins ago ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Gov. Sarah Palin charged the state for her children to travel with her, including to events where they were not invited, and later amended expense reports to specify that they were on official business.

"There was no valid reason for the children to be along on state business," said Knowles, a supporter of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama. "I cannot recall any instance during my eight years as governor where it would have been appropriate to claim they performed state business." Isn't this just plain old theft? Or politely called fraud! We had a governor who was a woman with 3 small children, we never paid for their expenses, uninvited or otherwise! Sounds like business as usual for some Republicans! They don't mind spending YOUR money!

Why do republicans think it's okay for Palin and her family to get away with spending tax dollars this way? The spending spree included a $75,062.63 visit to Neiman Marcus and two stops at Saks Fifth Avenue that totaled $49,425.74, according to Cummings. Doesn't sound like "just your average hockey mom." In fact, the ... ... average American spends only about $1,874 a year on clothing and services, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. The Ticket tracked down the RNC's financial disclosure records for September and October and confirmed that the RNC did indeed charge the purchases that Cummings cites (they were billed as “campaign accessories"). They include purchases made at Bloomingdale’s ($5,102.71), Barney’s ($789.72), a men's boutique called Atelier ($4,902.45) and at two baby clothing and accessory stores. It's unclear whether all of the charges were related to Palin (e-mails sent to the McCain-Palin campaign about the nature of the charges were not returned Tuesday night), but some of them almost certainly were. Newsweek reported in September that a campaign aide took Todd Palin shopping at a Saks Fifth Avenue, where he bought a new suit to wear to the Republican National Convention. And the New York Post reported that Palin gave her big speech in St. Paul in a $2,500 jacket designed by Valentino Garavani and also purchased from Saks. It is legal for campaigns to buy clothes for their candidates, but it is unusual. Most candidates running for office pay for their own clothing. Politico's Cummings reports that a review of similar records for the campaign of Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee revealed no similar spending. Meanwhile, in other Palin spending news, the Associated Press reported today that as governor of Alaksa she mischarged the state for her children's travels. Palin often took her children along while traveling, the AP reports, including to events where they were not invited. The AP says Palin's office later amended expense reports to specify that they were on official business. Here is an excerpt: The charges included costs for hotel and commercial flights for three daughters to join Palin to watch their father in a snowmobile race, and a trip to New York, where the governor attended a five-hour conference and stayed with 17-year-old Bristol for five days and four nights in a luxury hotel. In all, Palin has charged the state $21,012 for her three daughters' 64 one-way and 12 round-trip commercial flights since she took office in December 2006. In some other cases, she has charged the state for hotel rooms for the girls. Obviously there is much unwarranted expenditures here and I'm sure this isn't even BEGINNING to scrape the surface. This started LONG BEFORE the campaign obviously. And also, you don't see Michelle, Obama, Biden, or his family doing this during the campaign either. BRIAN: Tell Alaskans that wasn't THEIR tax money she was spending there...you obviously never read the above. Aimee, you must be clairvoyant. ;~) READ, people, READ....

where are you ? or Are you seeing india from the heaven ? what is your opinion seeing the present India ? A question to mahathma gandhi, jawaharlal nehru, and k.kamaraj..oh!! you can't escape. please answer. Mahathma: you travelled all over the world without wearing a shirt, with a wood half shoe. you touched every inch of land in india by your walkings. you collected money and handedover without taking a paise where no accounts. Nehru: why you chose leaving a luxury life. you are born to a rich famous advocate. no time even to take care of your wife kamala and also not took care your daughter indira priyadarshini. you took care of indian people. you struggled for the freedom and ruled india and done good. kamaraj: you thought of married life will spoil the life and you always thought of the welfare of people. you are a king maker, but hate becoming a king. you left your highest post to serve the people. you asked the police who came to protect you, to go and do their duties saying that why protection where i am with my people. This is an example how you loved your people. you arranged mid-day meals to the poor children. you brought neyveli, Bhel to tamilnadu. But, see our leaders with bullet proof car, bullet proof dais, staying away and afraid of their own people. meeting people with black cat protection, disturbing common people by your travels. you are on dais with fear. you ask your people to stay 100 meters away. The people also afraid to go near you. The caste and religion are ruling the country. some leaders are taking Ambedkar protections, some leaders are taking gandhi protections, some leaders are still biting thakurs, agarwals and bramins forgetting that the said bramins are also indians and true nationals. There are rich people who ran business, industries etc., but now the rich are only politicians and it is secret how they became rich among richest though they have no proper incomes. But, we are living in free india, breathing freedom freely in memory of you !!! can you answer ? oh! my respected leaders !!

Could you check my mistakes (grammar and language)? Pleassseeeeeeeeeeeee? "Professional help Each owner of the business have to think carefully about the future. From the owner perspective, the legal obligations and rights affecting business sometime are difficult to understand. There are many companies which can offer professional support to businesses. It is important to employ an accountant, solicitor or business consultant with an in-depth knowledge to make sure that the business is secured in the future and meet all regulations. There are many people who want to share their experience for a fee. However, it is expensive but it may be helpful in expanding the business and developing future options. Business consultants are highly skilled and they are providing individual solutions for each client. They able to help with: • practical advice • ideas for reducing expenses • how to develop and expand • any other general business problem As I mentioned in first part of my report, before starting my own business I would like to contact with highly skilled business consultants to cover lacks in my experience. It gives me idea and some useful advice about running own business. The professional support will be able to have a look my business ideas and tell something more about it - Is it worth doing? I also will be need professional help in the future. If my business grow-up I may need accountant to deal with HM Revenue & Custom and solicitor to make sure that my business meets all legal regulations such as: health and safety regulations, and different food industry regulations such as food hygiene etc. " "Training The business may need to train workers if there have been changes in the company’ goals or objectives or an introduction of new process. Training involves employees being taught new skills or improving skills they already have. Training staff in the future will be essential to make sure that my employees have a good qualifications and ability to do their job. Well trained workforce has certain benefits for each business. They should be more productivity. This will help the business to achieve its overall aims, such as boosting sales, keeping customer happy etc. Training should also help me to create more flexible workforce because of grater employee skills. For example if the business needs to reorganise something and some employees must replace another ones, workers may have to be trained in new tasks/responsibilities. Training staff cost a lot of money but it leads to better performance in the future. Increasing the skills levels in the business is beneficial. If you identify any lacks in skills in your business you can provide training to your employees to fill all lacks in skills. Skills development will increase employees’ confident. Training staff to work more effectively or more efficiently can rapidly increase their productivity as well as increasing the business’s profit. Skilled employees have a wider rang of skills and they are able to work in different area of the business. For example trained worker with experience will be able to replace someone in the future if this person will we get retied. Training might be provided by business consultants or may be taken at local colleges (e.g. Bolton Community college which offers a wide range NVQ’s)" "Timescales and planning Planning involves thinking about the future direction of the business as well as identifying the strategies and skills required to achieve goals. It is very important to set time scales because it will help to monitor own and business’s development to make sure that it stays on the right way." "Cost implications Businesses faced with financial problem may see spending on training and development as a luxury which has to be cut. Businesses often think that training lead to increased costs, wasted time, disruption. Financial costs might include the wage allowance paid to employee, fees for training at local college, equipment and travel allowances. To some extent these costs are offset by government payments for training schemes paid to the employer. It is mainly dedicated to small and medium businesses. Financial support is offered to boost workers’ skills, with the specific aim of improving productivity.

Barack Obama + Martin Luther King Jr.=Hope for all of America and the world? Will it be true and not just for african americans but for everybody ok first i want you to read this some of you may know what it is: "I Have a Dream" On August 28, 1963, more than a quarter of a million people participating in the civil rights march gathered at the Lincoln Memorial in the nation's capital and heard Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s. "I Have a Dream" speech. This speech is considered one of the most stirring speeches of this century. "Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity. "But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition. "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. "It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of colour are concerned. Instead of honouring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check which has come back marked 'insufficient funds.' But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God's children. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksand’s of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. "It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquillity in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges. "But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. "We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting Physical force with soul force. The marvellous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone. "And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, 'When will you be satisfied?' we can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfi sorry i added something on the bottom but it dosent seem to appear may the thing is too big ok my last question do u think obama can live MLK's dream and again i aplogise that the speech has took all the space god bless MLK Obama and the world
