Flight with 3 stops: what do I need to do?

I’ll be taking a flight with stops for the first time and I don’t know exactly what I need to do. It’s an international flight with 2 stops and I’ll be going from Seoul -> Osaka -> San Francisco -> New York City. My first question is about my ticket. I can get my ticket for my flight, but do I need to get a new ticket when I land in Osaka (stop 1), and then again when I land in San Francisco (stop 2)? If so, how do I do that? Also, I will be changing airlines in San Francisco, so is there anything regarding that that I need to be aware of?
My second question is: What will happen with my luggage? Will it be shipped straight from Seoul to New York City, or will I need to check it? And how would I check it?
These questions might sound dumb, but I want to know what I need to do so I don’t run around like a maniac at the airports trying to figure it out. Thanks.

Something of intrest to barbados!?

Does barbadians really realize whats going on around them,some of you may not be familiar with the beautiful beaches,but i was born very close to the beach.I have notice now there is no access to the beach after you pass the Holetown police station,the only other access is by the paynes bay fish market,are we as barbadian will continue to shut up and allow ourself to be shut out from our beaches.We will ultimately pay a heavy price for our unwillingness to act,history will not be so kind to us, it will record a free people who had so much and gain nothing of value to our children or grand children,others will rightly say those people never achive anything,we labour not if we cannot labour for our own.The politicans in Barbados continue to fool the public over and over,you hear them saying things like Four Seansons,and many other top class resorts is being built how good it is for the economy (bullshit). How many developments in Barbados allocate funds to improve the surrounding area inhabitated by locals? How many developments seek to improve the lot of those whose areas they invade? They build up to the perimeter of their boundaries,and surround them with high fences.The message is clear,we are here but we are not apart of you.Now there are talking about developing Six Mens St.Peter,my word will not fall The beaches in Barbados is becomming private.I dont have anything against development but how in high heaven could any government allow people to block every access to the beach in a small island like Barbados as far as i can see in the future Bajans will have to bath on the east coast and build houses alon the scotland district.
I agree Subway should set up in Barbados,but to the original topic it is quite difficult to take money out of Barbados so Bajans must realize that when top class hotels are set up here ,there bank accounts are overseas so if you are in any where outside barbados and you book a holiday at a hotel own by outsiders the money does not come into Barbados it remain in their countries

realignment in mlb? what do you think?

Well I answered someone elses question w/ the following proposal and wanted to see what you think. I say add two more teams to make it 32 like the nfl, and realign to four divisions in each league…north south east west:

AL East:
New York (A)
Boston
Baltimore
Toronto

AL North:
Detroit
Cleveland
Chicago (A)
Minnesota

AL South
Tampa Bay
Kansas City
Texas
New Franchise # 1 (Maybe San Antonio is the next city in line??)

AL West:
Oakland
Anaheim
Seattle
New Franchise #2 (I think Portland would be a good market)

NL East:
New York (N)
Philadelphia
Pittsburgh
Washington

NL North:
Chicago (N)
Milwaukee
Cinncinati
St Louis

NL South:
Atlanta
Florida
Houston
Colorado

NL West:
San Francisco
Arizona
San Diego
Los Angeles

Well I know colorado is out of place, but it cant be perfect. Pitt moves to the east where they can build a rivalry w/ philly. The two new franchises are in the al. What do you guys think?
Well the playoffs can work either two ways: You can expand and have two wild card reps, like the nfl does (Im in favor for post season expansion), or you can have no wild card and have four reps from each division and the format would stay the same, and the team w/ the best record would face the team w/ the worst record among playoff teams in the divisional round
The AL South is very very ugly! TB or KC might actually make the playoffs…to balance it out you could put one of the new franchises in a better division and a more experienced one in the al south
what do you think?
I think the talent level is find…if you add a salary cap and prevent teams such as ny and boston from spending so much money then it would be better. there is a lot of talent in baseball, evident by international signings and expanded minor leagues. There just has to be a playing field and the two new markets could thrive. Or, you can move tampa and florida…
I would just want to add more teams just so there can be an even amount of teams in each division and to see new cities w/ teams
what do you guys think now?

future alignment of the nhl?

the future nhl, i figured it out!
canada east
1) montreal canadians
2) ottawa senators
3) toronto maple leafs
4) quebec nordiques (formerly the columbus blue jackets as of 2014-15)
5) halifax voyageurs (formerly the florida panthers as of 2016-17)
canada west
1) vancouver canucks
2) edmonton oilers
3) calgary flames
4) winnipeg jets (formerly the atlanta thrashers as of 2010-11)
5) hamilton tigers (formerly the phoenix coyoties as of 2011-12)
northeast
1) boston bruins
2) new york rangers
3) buffalo sabres
4) new jersey devils
5) philadelphia flyers
east us
1) tampa bay lightning
2) pittsburgh penguins
3) washington capitals
4) new york islanders
5) carolina hurricanes
central
1) st. louis blues
2) chicago blackhawks
3) nashville predators
4) minnesota wild
5) detroit red wings
west
1) los angeles kings
2) anaheim ducks
3) san jose sharks
4) colorado avalanche
5) dallas stars

it was nice to try hockey in the south, but most parts must be built to sustain nhl not given it right away, in 2030′s we might be diversed enough to continue expansion in the south but canada deserves hockey, it will help build the mystique of the nhl with passionate fans eagerly waiting for a hometown team to cheer, hooray for hockey, hooray for canada,

eastern conference:
canada east
northeast
east us
western conference:
canada west
central
west us

with the divisions in mind i think they should play games heavily influenced by division and conference, not many inter conference games at all, thats why i think hamilton should be in the west so fans in the area could see every team, sorry fans of florida, atlanta, columbus, and phoenix but honestly i dont think your ready for the nhl, i understand the transplanted fans would be dissapointed, but thats why i think they should all be granted minor league teams and have the nhl built a solid rep through getting involved in the communities, teaching them what hockey is, and building itself fanatics and future players from the ground up. handing them a nhl franchise right away is nice but its like puting a ton of nascar races in canada, growing up in new england and florida i understand both sports fans views, the south is an entity in itself, i understand why more people in the south like college football having a sense of state pride because there states are so damn big, and baseball and basketball because its cheap to play and i never played anything but street hockey cause it was too expensive, and they like their racing, just not much history or passion to watch, understand, or play the game of hockey there. to each his own, with the right determination and effort non hockey markets could make the big leagues, canada loves hockey, they deserve better for their love of the game, major league support coast to coast.

thoughts?

How pissed is Fox right now?

Going into the LCS, there were a couple options out there:

National league:
Phillies – strong local fan base, not too much national support, good team, not a huge draw
Dodgers – it’s LA, it’s Manny, etc. etc.
American League:
Tampa – nice underdog story, almost no fan support except for the bandwagon and those who cheer the underdog
Boston – it’s, well… Boston…

Perfect scenario: LA vs Boston. Manny back in Fenway for the World Series. Torre facing the Red Sox again. Boston trying to repeat and create a dynasty. East Coast vs West Coast. Start counting the $$.

What they’re probably going to get: Philadelphia vs Tampa Bay – no really intriguing stories, no rivalries, smaller fan bases, less geographical diversity

If you’re on the Fox marketing team, how are you going to sell this series?
Remember, this is all from a TV marketing standpoint. I don’t care if you love the Phillies or Rays, you can’t deny that the Dodgers and Red Sox both get more national attention, and when you throw in the storylines, it’s by far a better sell for a national TV audience
I agree Scooter, but the fact is, there are a lot of people who aren’t big fans that would watch the Red Sox vs Dodgers, and won’t watch the Phillies and Rays. I’ll watch either way, but they still have to try to bring in the people who aren’t going to watch the Series just because it’s the Series

Should the MLB expand to 32 teams?

I think that the MLB should consider the above for two reasons. a) so that there will be an even number of teams in every league and division, and b) because I think that there are at least two markets which I think that the MLB could tap into.

Here is what I think that the league should look like upon expansion to 32 teams:

AL East: Boston, N.Y. Yankees, Baltimore, Tampa Bay
AL Central: Toronto, Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago W.S.
AL Midwest: New Orleans (expansion), Minnesota, Kansas City, Texas
AL West: Seattle, Portland (expansion), Oakland, L.A. Angels

NL East: N.Y. Mets, Philadelphia, Washington, Florida
NL Central: Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Chicago Cubs
NL Midwest: Milwaukee, St. Louis, Houston. Denver
NL West: Arizona, San Francisco, L.A. Dodgers, San Diego

The two expansion cities which I have chosen are New Orleans and Portland. I think that New Orleans would be a good city because a) it has a metro of around 1.5 million, and b) there are no other MLB teams nearby. As for Portland, a) it has a metro of around 2 million, and b) they would make a good rivalry with the Mariners.

The divisional format is four divisions with four teams each in both leagues, a la NFL. The two new divisions would be called AL Midwest and NL Midwest. I think that by having the same number of teams in each division, it will erase any advantages or disadvantages of any particular teams making the playoffs.

At present, the teams in the NL Central have less chance of making the playoffs, because the division has six teams, and the AL West teams have more chance of making the postseason because there are only four teams within that division.

The only drawback is that the divisions would have to be realigned, meaning that some existing divisional rivalries would be lost. However, none of the teams would have to switch leagues.

Does anyone agree with the above suggestions, and if not, why?

I’ve been unemployed for…wow…over a year. yikes! Decided to put up an online portfolio. feedback please?

I’ve been throwing my resume down the gaping holes of craigslist, careerbuilder, etc and talked to various employment agencies so I’m not just sitting around on my butt. I’m told that a portfolio helps but I’m still newer to graphic design. If anyone is in HR or is familiar with the hiring, interviewing process I would really appreciate a look over at the portfolio site.

I’d love a job with marketing, advertising, writing…etc. just no sales!! Dont know if the portfolio reflects that. It still needs work with the scrolling and all that…but i’m more interested on the things i can change myself like the content and background. =) thank you so much! I’m beginning to really freak out about having beeen unemployed this long…I moved to the bay area thinking things would change…but nope…still waiting.

I am frustrated with the job market and what to do with myself?

I been unemployed for sometime now. I been applying for work but get frustrated pretty quickly with the process. I think it’s driving me nuts. Obviously, I need to get a new job. What is a good way to stay motivated and pace myself? I live in the SF Bay Area, by the way.

Most of my experience consists of teaching ESL and Mathematics overseas (I have a BA, no credential). Most recently I have done software Quality Control for a prominent IT company (however my computer skills are very modest). The thought of working retail is nauseating! ….LOL

I have tried temp agencies but they are slow now, and would prefer avoiding them. Also, I have tried job boards but think with so many unemployed these companies are going to get inundated with resumes anyway.

I would appreciate your suggestions, thanks.

Are you concerned about lead in food marketed toward children?

“Quantities of lead in bottled juice, juice boxes, and packaged fruit could exceed federal limits for the lunchbox-toting set, according to the Environmental Law Foundation. The Bay Area-based environmental nonprofit, which enlisted the aid of a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-certified lab in Berkeley, tested nearly 400 samples from 150 branded products marketed to children, including apple juice, grape juice, packaged pears and peaches (including baby food), and fruit cocktail mixes. The alarming results: 125 out of 146 products—or more than 85%—contained enough lead in a single serving to warrant a warning label under California’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, better known as Prop. 65.”

please can any one help me in this project?

Hi, I am a student from Oman specializing in environmental engineering. Now days I am working on a project that deals with Khor [(English: estuary) is a landlocked body of water in the form of a semi-enclosed bay, the river is fed by several rivers or on the one hand, and is attached to the sea on the other hand, when mixed with salt water to freshwater]. This khor (Khor Kashmir) is located in Sohar which is a coastal city in my country. Last January a proposal was submitted to the responsible government agency for developing Khor Kashmir of Sohar as a bird-watching site. Khor Kashmir has dried out due to disconnection from the sea. This Khor is located near the fish market in Sohar and that was the first time it was disconnected from the sea then fishing harbor was built around the area and eventually the Cornish road was made. As there is still underground water table that might contain fresh or brackish water, the Khor is retaining it diverse plant life. If the water flow between the Khor and the sea can be reinstated there will be a natural habitat for shore birds to come along as witnessed during the last rain events when water pools got formed and there will be a potential for the Khor to develop as tourist attraction.
My questions are:
Should the scope include a tourism survey to determine demand?
Should the project include a bird survey or do you think there is enough information about birds at the site from existing records?
Should the project end with detailed drawings?
Should the project examine options to i) open the khor entrance, ii) keep it open?

i need a help in my project?

Should I go to Korea Instead of Bangkok?

Hi guys,
a month ago, I’ve booked air tickets from San Francisco to Seoul, then to Bangkok for Jan 3, 2009. I’m not sure when the political unrest and demonstration at the Bangkok airports will be resolved, so I was thinking maybe my husband and I can just get off in Seoul and enjoy my two weeks in Korea instead of Bangkok. But…what can I do in the dead of winter in Korea for two weeks? Can anyone give me some pointers on where to go, sleep and eat? Would I need to buy loads of thermal wear and big coats and boots? I don’t know anyone in Korea but it might be nice to go after 30 years of leaving the country when I was a kid. Ughh…Choices, choices.

What airports have you been to and what was the worst (why?) and best?

Buffalo-Niagara International Airport
Toronto Pearson International Airport
Munich Franz Josef Strauss Airport
Nuremberg Airport
Rome Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport
Chicago International O’Hare Airport
Philadelphia International Airport
Des Moines International Airport
San Francisco International Airport
Raleigh-Durham International Airport
Vancouver International Airport
Seoul-Incheon International Airport
Busan-Gimhae International Airport

Vancouver has to be the worst. The customs agents and airport workers act like they’re some how above you and I saw them shouting orders at people who didn’t know where to go. Like “Over there!!” “What are you doing?!?” and rolling their eyes. It was total disorganization and chaos.
The best airport I’ve been in so far has to be the one in Munich there was lots of shops and the workers were really friendly and and stuff was easy to find. Philadelphia and Seoul-Incheon are good ones too.

Help with deciding if moving to Oakland from San Francisco is the right thing for us?

My Wife and I currently live in SF (Mission District). The Mrs. Works in East Bay and drives a lot to and from for work. Myself, I work downtown SF. We currently have a 1 bedroom with an office in the Mission and are thinking about having children. We are considering to move to Oakland (20th and Market) because it is central between our work places and is twice the size of our current one and the same price. It also has gated area and a garage. This place has everything that we want in an apartment but we do not feel 100% about the area yet. Its like a really nice building surrounded by a not as nice area with warehouses and run down homes. We just need help with our thought process in determining what is important. Its not like we have to move immediately or have to move at all for that matter. It would just be nice to:
A .Not park on the street.
B. Not have to carry dirty laundry 2 blocks every week.
C. Have an actual bedroom (not modified office) for an incoming child.
D. Be closer to her work.
E Pay same price as current place or cheaper

Further East of Oakland is not an option. Did that once.
Cannot afford more than 1800/month for rent.

What are the nicest cities to live in around Downey, Ca?

I was born & raised in Southern Ca. & decided to move to Northern Ca. (San Ramon, East Bay area). My Fiance (Colorado native) & I are moving back to So. Cal. due to a huge job opportunity. The office is in Downey & I know for a fact that it is not the place for us.

The ideal for us would be to find a city/neighborhood that is more lush & green, out of the way. Commuting maybe 45 minutes to have that far far away feel would be wonderful.

I’ve never been a fan of living in huge cities…pollution, traffic, crime & the fast pace of things just don’t flow well with us. After living in Northern Califonia I fell in love with the fresh air, lots of trees, laid back people, small local shops, arts festivals, fairs, farmers markets & ability to go camping within about a 3 hour beautiful drive. We also love the coast so that’s an option as well.

Any hidden gems out there??

How do you feel about a felon who served in prison as Obama’s Green Job Czar?

“Just a couple of days ago I wrote about President Obama’s black red “Green Jobs” czar Van Jones who came up through the ranks as a racial radical arrested in the Rodney King riots, embraced communism while in jail, formed a socialist collective which championed the ideas of Marx and Lenin, and has now seized on on the environmentalist movement as a vehicle for his extremist ideas.”

The East Bay Express has a very lengthy article about Jones and his activist past, written in 2005. Here are a few telling excerpts:

But that wasn’t enough to assuage his anger. Convinced that American society needed a wake-up call on race, Jones abandoned his plan to become a journalist, concluding that he would rather make news than report it. “If I’d been in another country, I probably would have joined some underground guerrilla sect,” he said.

…while Jones was observing the first large rally since the lifting of the city’s state of emergency [during the Rodney King riots], he got swept up in mass arrests. It was a turning point in his life.

Jones had planned to move to Washington, DC, and had already landed a job and an apartment there. But in jail, he said, “I met all these young radical people of color — I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of.’” Although he already had a plane ticket, he decided to stay in San Francisco. “I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.” In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might fit in with the status quo. “I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th,” he said. “By August, I was a communist.“

“We have long seen the close connections between the worldwide environmentalist movement and Marxism. They have long shared the same anti-business, anti-free market, anti-freedom agenda and methods of thuggish intimidation. Like many Marxists, Jones has recognized that the environmentalist movement makes a great vehicle to advance Marxism.”

http://www.dakotavoice.com/2009/07/obamas-black-red-green-czar/

SO lets see, Obama has 30 some Czars that answer to NO ONE but Obama, and now Obama uses his “great judgement” to select this street thug to run the Green Jobs (whatever sham that is). So much for the “transparency” of the Obama Regime.

how does one go about doing market research when they are starting a new company?

I’m starting a web design firm and we’re trying to research the market in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I don’t really know where to go to get the statistics and the data about the market here.

I am interested in career in Finance (Hedge Funds or other Investments)?

I am 23 and planning to move to NY this fall. Here are my credentials: Graduated from UC Berkeley in 2005, BA in Slavic Languages and Literature, very low GPA however, around a 2.3. Afterwards, I got a MS degree in Taxation from Golden Gate University. Ok GPA. Currently working as a Tax Accountant in a regional firm in the Bay Area, California. I’ve worked here for 4 months and already feel that accounting is not for me. I am just upset that the MS Tax degree cost me $20K. I am fascinated by the stock markets, and investing in general. I am contemplating a career change into something related to Hedge Funds or the like. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to transition to a finance career in hedge funds or other investment firms without any financial background, with a low undergrad GPA and a MS in Tax. What classes should I take, who should I talk to in order to build a network relationship? Any and all advice is appreciated!

As Credit Markets & Conditions Continue To Tighten, what Does This Means For Consumer Spending?

With rising unemployment, deteriorating consumer spending and economic conditions, getting a business, car, personal, etc regardless how small or large is quite of challenge. It’s quite interesting because everybody keeps talking optimistic about market recover, but unless credit conditions really shape up, it’s going to be a long road.

The only reason I am so angry is because I want to start my own business starting out medium range because I have a good business degree and work experience, but they keep telling me, the interest and terms are going to be sharp, you are not going to make much, its going to take a while to approve, and this that or another.

I am getting rather tired and even advanced markets like San Francisco bay area or New York City is having lot of trouble. This is a major concern because if entrepreneurs, college graduates, or experienced to get optimistic, they are going to go elsewhere, or not pursue advanced degrees as they will realize the potential is not as great or as permanent as they thought.

Thus, I have no reason to believe consumers spending will ever return to peak levels, not will business investment, start ups, or opportunities to advanced, which means many firms will lose top talents individuals, and go down altogether. Government bailouts will not encourage top talent, only pay and compensation will which is what they oppose.

Is the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) currently being operated using an Automated Train Control (ATC) System?

I’m doing research on the Bay area rapid transit‘s automated train control system. I learned there was an accident around 1972 because of the use of this ATC system which was new technology at the time. I wonder if they are currently using it? Of course a much improved one.

Concerns about the damage of US Visa?

One of my friend holds South Korean passport, and for his flight back to Korea in June he has to transfer in San Francisco.

Toronto~~San Francisco~~Seoul

However, due to strage reasons the passport is left in the washing machine.
US visa is mostly fine but lose all the colors on it, it becomes lighter and brighter. Ink splashed through the surface slightly.

Passport is fine and all the personel info remains well on it.

Do you think he can pass the immigration when he has to change flight in San Francisco??
If it’s not, what wil be the solution of US Immigration?

Or he should apply for temporary visa or permission?? I am not very clear about it.

Thank u for helping

Why such variance on cost of additional taxes and fees added to airline ticket prices?

I am flying to Beijing next year. I used a popular site for finding prices. I wonder why a direct NONSTOP flight from San Francisco to Beijing has $300 additional fees, while another one that stops in Los Angeles and Seoul (3 total landings, two different airlines, additional baggage handling efforts) has only $97 taxes and fees. The logic of it escapes me, unless the San Francisco based US Airline has found another way to milk consumers.

US MBA VS UK MBA. Which one should I choose?

I am an international student planning to do an MBA and I already got approved in a good AACSB accredited US school (Cal State East Bay in California), but I am also considering UK schools who are ranked among the top 100 business schools in Economist and Financial Times Ranking. Those are:
- Durham University – triple accredited (AACSB, AMBA, EQUIOUS)
- Aston University – also triple accredited
- University of Bath – AMBA accredited

and another good MBA program which is AMBA accredited (Kingston University).

Should I go for the US degree or for a top ranked UK MBA? They both meet my objectives as they have a concentration in marketing.

Can you correct my paragraph?

What are best companies for marketing- good names, probably corporate so they have the funds to train me well.

I live in the SF Bay Area so the closer the better, but proximity is not my top priority.

Could u plz name the top 5-10 business schools within an hour of the SF bay area? Focus= MBA in Marketing?

I will probably be working in Menlo Park or Berkeley…I would of course LOVE to go to UCBerkeley but I doubt they’ll accept me…will finish w/an overall GPA of 3.0. If I am working for an amazing company for 3 years however, and prove my true potential (I was immature and went thru depression in college) is there any chance to still get into a top program? I prefer to stay in town.
Anyway, if you know the top say 5-10, plz let me know so I can call them individually and ask about their admissions process.

How can the A’s get any younger?

Yesterday in the Contra Costa Times (Bay Area paper), a reporter talked about how the Harden Gaudin trade was a good trade. As I read his section I realized how wrong i thought he was. What do you think?

Do you think gay behavior models that of suicidal lemmings ?

By the late 1980s, AIDS was everywhere. Obituaries flooded gay newspapers such as the Bay Area Reporter, and mainstream news reports dealt with the latest – and often unsuccessful – developments in research and prevention findings. Meanwhile, activist groups such as ACT UP and Queer Nation stormed the streets of cities on both coasts and the White House demanding the government respond quicker, and approve new drugs to fight the epidemic.
“You went into the system you got sicker, sicker, and died, usually after diagnosis. So they didn’t have to plan what they would do with long-term survivors,” said Gary Myerscough, 60, a board member of the National Association on HIV Over 50.
Paul Quin, 64, a lean and sprite man with playful blue eyes and a board member of the National Association on HIV Over 50, agreed with Allgaier that in a way it is somewhat strange to work with someone who learned about AIDS from a textbook when he lived through it and continues to live with the disease.”
Why would anyone want to have a short lifespan by doing something that risky and anti-religious ?

Is it following the lemmings ?
marble dog, ever hear of hepatitis and its related diseases and how they are caused ?
Nicole B, ever hear of rampant bisexuality among African American men ? That’s not because of the women, you know. You still have to get some anal organism disease.

Did you see this, Tea Party CNN reporter full length video.?

For those of you who saw the “CNN Reporter” and what she portrayed as the Tea Party should see this. I am happy someone (not a reporter) was able to film this which definitely shows a more accurate representation of what the event was really like.
I was at a Tea Party and can safely say the one I was at was very bipartisan, peaceful demonstration, and very much so not extreme.
Mind you I live in the Bay Area and there are not to many “Right Wing Extremists” out here I was standing out there with hippies too… LOL!

Rotorhead– Good idea to send a complaint to CNN so I followed your lead and just wrote them a letter!

Question about local news?

On local news, why do the reporters always say where people are from when they’re reporting the stories?
For example, on news stations in the SF Bay Area, the reporters say stuff like “A Livermore man…” or a “San Francisco man…” or a “San Jose woman…”
This may sound dumb, but why does it matter where the people are from? I’m a little annoyed by it.

Customs time and pet inspection at San Francisco Airport?

I booked a flight from Seoul, Korea to Portland, Oregon with a transfer at San Fransisco, but I totally forgot about customs at SFO. Basically I have to land, go through customs, pick up my cat, have him inspected, put him back with the luggage, make it through security, and get to my gate all in an hour and a half. Granted the flight is on a random Thursday at 11:30am. The next connecting flight I can book is 7 hours later, but I don’t want to leave me cat somewhere in the airport for that long. Do you think there is ANY way that I can make it through this process and catch my flight?

Can any help me with this math problem?

The math problem is If the golden gate bridge is 1.71 miles long and cost 1.2 billion then how much would a bridge cost if a bridge was from san francisco to Seoul Korea which is 5613 miles away.

Yamaha Silent Guitar as a carry-on baggage?

I will move from Seoul to San Francisco next month by JAL (Japanese Airline).

I’d like to carry on my Yamaha Silent Guitar on board, but the dimension of gig bag is slightly over the linear length 45 inch.

I heard that it was originally designed as a traveler guitar, but I’m worried if my guitar is rejected at the gate.

If you have the silent guitar and experienced airplane travel with it, please give me an advice.

Thank you in advance.

Got a lowball offer on our house. Should we take it off the market and “ride it out”?

We’re in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. We originally listed our home on 4/15 for $675,000–$20,000-$40,000 below our best comps. 2 months later we dropped the price to $649,000. A couple offered $590,000 and we countered closer to our asking price. They’ll probably walk. Their fear is that they’ll buy the house and it will drop in value. Uh–so we’re supposed to validate their fear by devaluing our property? Not. We don’t have to move. Should we just sit tight? Keep our home on the market? Or take it off until things start to pick up again?How long do you think we should keep it off? Do you think things will get better next year? Or will we be living there another 10 years? We want to live closer to my mom and dad and thus the move. Our current house is great & not the issue. Ugh–this is frustrating. We put a lot of $$$ into fixing up the house for the market. If we let the house go for what these people want to pay we’d be breaking even.

why i don’t have a girl friend?

I have seen my friends going out with their girl friend and they teasing me a lot. I have always thinking why i don’t have one. my co-workers, sometimes, asking me ” Hey, Kyle where is your girl friend”. I responded, sigh “I don’t have one. I don’t know why”. And I strongly believe there is something wrong in me although I am trying to discover it. Then I start to upgrade my appearance and language.

Why does the main MLB media outlets continue to ignore the Angels and the amazing season they are having??

I am sick and tired of reading headlines about what Manny ate for breakfast or how Derek Jeter cut himself shaving (no disrespect to those players). The Angels are on a tear, easily the #1 choice for the best team in all of baseball yet they get hardly any attention. Even after sweeping the Red Sox TWICE and the Bronx Bombers this past weekend, they still get mentioned about the same amount as Tampa Bay. I understand that there is a huge market for East Coast teams, but Southern California is also a comparable market. In the past 5 years Angels stadium has always ranked in the top 5 as far as season sell-outs and what not. Yet ESPN will spend 15 minutes talking about how Papelbon learned a new jig over any Angels news. The culprits also exist in Yahoo and various other online outlets. MLB.COM is about the only site that gives some notice to the Angels besides the teams own website.
Team stats as of today (8/11/08):

- 74 wins – 43 losses (best record in ALL of baseball)
- 36 – 22 home record
- 38 – 21 road record
- great starting rotation, awesome relief
- K-Rod on his way to breaking the all-time single season saves record

In years before the offense has been in question, but that quandary was put to rest with the stellar offense of this season. In the past few years whenever the Angels have made the playoffs, pretty much the WS champs have to go through Anaheim. ’04 the Red Sox, ’05 the White Sox, ’07 The Red Sox again. I can go on and on, but I want to ask others for their thoughts. I am hoping for well written answers, not some lame answer from a 15 year girl that thinks Jeter is cute or some crap like that.

Marketing Jobs!?

I have a friend that ot a degree in Business Admin with an emphasis in Marketing. She lives in a very small town about an hour to hour and a half from any large city. She worked for me full time part of her way through college. She had excellent skills and was very ethical. She earned her way into management and as a management trainer and was successful at both while still attending college full time. She thought that the company was going to move her into its marketing department but the company had major money problems and couldn’t promote her and doesn’t look like it will be able to any time soon. She loves marketing and is desperate to get into this field. But can hardly even get a response to her resume’. She has tried getting on with major corporations and wouldn’t mind getting on with a minor one but she’s not able to just up and move without a job. I don’t think they are considering her because of her lack of experience in marketing and her proximity. Any suggestions for her?

Planning to move to Seoul. Koreans or foreigners living there I need your help!?

Hello!
First of all I’m so sorry this text is going to be so long! But i hope you can help me.
So I’m a 20 y.o girl, currently living in Greece and I’m planning to move to Seoul next year (in two years at most). First i have to finish university. I’m majoring in spanish literature next year.
I’m planning to start learning korean soon. my knowledge of the language is just limited to the absolute basics I’ve learned from kdramas and songs and stuff. I’m a pretty fast learner trust me, so that doesn’t scare me.
what scares me is the moving part. so any kind of feedback, advice, opinion, suggestion, likes and dislikes are well accepted. so some of my basic questions are:

1. which area would you recommend? I’ve heard Gangnam-gu is nice. but a couple of teachers that I’ve seen on youtube (simonandmartina) live in Bucheon and say it’s really nice too. In a forum someone said “stay away from Incheon”… I don’t know, I’d like somewhere with people around my age, like students. cafes, restaurants and a bit of nightlife. maybe close to the river or to a park?

2. I’d probably have to live in an officetel because a regular apartment would be kind of expensive for a broke student like me. so what kind of prices are we talking about? if you could give me an example of where you live it would be helpful. also, feedback on any realtors that speak english would help a lot. would it be better if i shared the expenses with a flatmate? should i look for one?

3. i don’t think my degree in spanish literature will help me at all in Seoul. no idea how many people actually want to learn spanish there and i don’t really know if teaching is what i want to do in life.
So what is the easiest job i could possibly get in Seoul? doesn’t matter how much it pays. and even before that, can i work in Seoul as a foreigner? what papers will i need? anywhere you could direct me to find more about citizenship and work permits?

4. how on earth do i tell my parents? my parents are sort of closed minded when it comes to moving out of the house. my mom moved from mexico here to marry my dad and now just the idea that i might want to move somewhere else is unbearable to her. even though it’s my life after all. my dad will cut me right off. how do i deal with this?

If you made it this far let me say that yes, I’ve thought this through otherwise i would have never asked all this stuff in the first place. I read here on yahoo a question once, this girl from latin america wanted to go teach in Korea but she was mostly thinking about it just because she loved kpop.
Even though I like kpop and many people, like my family, would say that that’s what makes me want to move, it has nothing to do with my plans (if i can call them that). It would be either Seoul, San Francisco or NY. It’s just that something is driving me to Seoul and i don’t know what it is.

Please don’t go hating on me for whatever reason. If there’s anything important i might have forgotten to ask that you can think of then please say it. Any feedback you could give me would be nice. And if just in case you’re like me and you’re thinking about moving to Seoul too then share your thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

San Francisco vs Chicago: Which city is more cultural, exciting and central?

Hi, I’m a collge student from Seoul, Korea.
I’m going to the US as an international student.
I would probably go to either Univ. of San Francisco or Loyola Univ. Chicago.
Which school has a better academic reputation and better facilities for students?
Plus, I want to expose myself in diverse culture with lots of fun.
(e.g. go clubbing on weekends, enjoy exotic cuisines, visit numerous tourist attractions and etc.)
In that case, should I go to Chicago or San Francisco?
I know San Fran has better weather but I heard it’s not as cosmopolitan as Chicago.
My friend also told me San Fran is more expensive but less energetic than Chicago.

So I’ve been struggling to decide where to go.
Please help me!

Help! What is a good marketing firm to intern at to help get accepted to UC Berkeley for my Masters?

I’m currently an undergrad at Cal State Hayward (East Bay) majoring in marketing. I was hoping to get accepted to intern in the marketing deparment for Intel because I have a lot of family that works there, but unfortunately they have no connections with that department.
Now I am looking to intern for well-known companies such as Apple or Google so that I may distiguish myself among applicants at UC Berkeley for my Masters in Business. However, that is seemingly difficult as well.
Will interning at a more prominent company increase my chances of getting accepted to UC Berkeley? Is it neccessary?
Would it be better to intern for a company or marketing firm that the deans or proffessors are more familiar with or recommend their alumni to?
Although my ambition and persistence is there, I’m not sure if it is my age (I’ll graduate at 20) or if it something else like my GPA (I have a cummilative of 3.4 so far, will soon be a 3.7) that is affecting my internship search. Please help!

How do you sell a Bike?

I have a 2007 Trek 7.6FX that I bought on an impulse, in attempts to replace a previous bike that had just got stolen. I have had the Trek since mid-May 2007 ridden it 3-5 times and
cannot seem to sell it. This bike is in brand new condition! My reason for selling is that I need a more rugged commuter and I have decided on the Bad Boy Ultra.

I am asking because i’ve never put any bike on the market for sale… I’ve tried Craigslist and some local ads but it’s a very slow process…Does anyone have advice on Marketing an excellent deal on a Bike? FYI : The bike is in the SF / East Bay Area.

Where can I sell about 50 Morgan silver dollars in Northern California?

I am pretty sure there is no numismatic value and their value is in the silver content. I am guessing they are in pretty average condition from 1880′s to 1900. No Carson City mint coins. I’d like to know what the spread is between buying and selling in this market.
I would like to find a reputable dealer within driving distance of the east bay but, may do a couple hundred miles for a good price.
