I can't believe Obama is still so loved by many of you. Hillary Clinton would've been a much better president if she had been elected. Bill Clinton was willing to work with nuts like Newt Gingrich. Obama even refused to work with moderate Republicans. All he wants is to have dinner with his family at 6:30 every evening which is a luxury for many of the American people.

Life-threatening/disasterous health insurance? Yes, everybody should buy it, because it's highly likely to end up being paid with other people's money (a lot of money). Regular ones? No. Do you require one to buy flood insurance if he lives in a flood zone? Yes. Do you require everybody to buy home insurance or renter's insurance? Hell no. EDIT: I was talking about individual policies on (the inside) of condos/apartments. Not sure about SFH, townhouses, etc.

Let me quote a comment from one of the "NYT Picks" of your favorite newspaper: "And the sense of betrayal that people feel because Obama said they could keep their existing insurance policies if they liked them won't fade quickly. Americans can take incompetence, but bald-faced lying is another thing entirely."

I'm glad you liked it. I suggest that everybody who cares about education read the book. There is a chapter that discusses Helsinki schools with a lot of immigrants who barely speak Finnish and how they thrive despite that fact that many Finnish parents are skeptical and are unwilling to send their kids to such schools. Finland spends less per student, students spend less time doing home work, compared to the United States. Yet they receive much better education than US students. dtjcview, please don't waste your time on somebody who doesn't want to read.

Right on. Many US parents, teachers, politicians use all kinds of excuses to ignore the core issues of US education. One friends recommended a recent book, The Smartest Kids in the World: And How They Got That Way. Here's a review: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/25/boo ... st-kids-in-the-world.html Quote from the end of this review, "For all our griping about American education, Ripley notes, we?ve got the schools we want." One thing the book never mentioned is the lazy culture exacerbated by the affirmative action cr*p. And the new mayor of New York is going to extend this cr*p to high school selection: http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/b ... issions-article-1.1481345 Keep voting for these guys. We get what we want.

OK I just got there. 15 minutes' drive. Looks good though it's smaller than 555. Parking lot won't be ready until about next week, but street parking is easy to find and cheap (30 min per quarter). I hope they get a lot of customers so I don't need to go to 555, Kam Man or Chinatown.

I cannot find them on BJ's website. I know Costco has both but can't find them on its website either, so maybe BJ's has them? (I don't have a BJ's membership card.)

I don't always do full stop and have never been caught. However if I do get caught I wouldn't whine, even though every time I did rolling stop I was quite cautious. It is driving 101 to put your hands on the wheels at all times, but it's NOT driving 101 to put your hands at 10 and 2. I do pick up phone while driving, but I NEVER do that without a bluetooth headset and I almost always try NOT to pick it up even with a headset: the only time I do pick up is that I called somebody when NOT driving and expected that s/he would call me back and it's absolutely necessary for us to have a very short talk. Talking with or without headset is ALWAYS distracting and can be dangerous. Empathy for you only if you fully realize what you did could be dangerous and you stop whining about being unlucky. Why not follow CapnJon? I saw nobody here being judgmental, rather they are trying to help.

The fact is that Mr Giani solicited payment right before the new semester began and then filed for bankruptcy right after the first week of classes. $400 per kids for 200+ kids add up to well over 50 ~ 60 grands (assuming half of the parents paid in advance to get 10% discount back in September). Whether he keeps this money for himself or he paid salary for the staff doesn't make a difference to me. The fact is that he screwed his customers with a smile.
In my case I paid $675 one year in advance, which I cannot get it back because it's well past 90 days and the credit card company won't create a dispute case. Yes the loss (200 - 300) has minimal effect on me but Mr Giani lost the trust from the neighborhood forever. Nevertheless my baby and I do miss the place...

Well, the same Mr Joseph asked me if I'd pay the tuition for Spring semester in the last winter class. It just so happened they closed the shop after the very first week of the new semester. Don't wanna sound cynical but people respond to incentives, and the rest is commentary.

I read through this thread recently to research a body shop. Since I have to pay it on my own I'm sensitive to pricing. It turned out Ziggy's very expensive, Sip Auto Body is cheaper but still too much for me. Didn't bother to try Sernios since somebody in the thread got a much higher estimate than from Sip Auto Body. It's funny that somebody stopped me at Metro Plaza (where the ShopRite is) and offered to do it for me at a much cheaper price. When I asked him for his cell phone # he found various excuses not to give me so I didn't accept his offer. Ended up driving to Secaucus Auto Body, got it done perfectly with 30% lower than Sip Auto Body. You can take bus No 2 from JSQ to 1st & Front St in Secaucus then walk in 10 - 15 minutes. In Post # 12 I recommended a repair store which is right next to this body shop. The repair store saved me hundreds of dollars in the past few years. This is the first time I used the body shop. Good luck!

Best route from Bronx to DTJC?

Can anybody recommend the best route from Bronx Zoo back to DTJC on Sat/Sun afternoons? Last time I took 9A in NYC, it was okay in the morning but terrible in the afternoon. I assume GWB is better? After that should I take Turnpike South or River Rd along the river?
Thanks!

I don't know what happened but this website www.easytaxfix.com did not work for me in IE or firefox. Every time I entered the image text it asked me to re-enter. I tried lower-case, upper-case, as well as adding spaces in between. Did anybody else have the same problem? Thanks a bunch.
