Why is the Commerce Dept. pleading communist China to move Chinese companies into 30,000 acres in FTZs?
Q. This is an urgent message! Read this and spread the word! Subject: Foreign Trade Zones. This is unbelievable at first, but you will soon realize that there are several motives for the global communists to physically weave our United States territory together with communist China. Read On! Here's what is going on! Each and every one of our state governors has approved and allocated a certain amount of acres of their U.S. state land to be inhabited by Chinese communists --communists straight from China! They are to set up little towns and live here, supposedly for the purpose of producing Chinese products for sale in the U.S.A. The land the states are giving them for their little towns will be considered "foreign territory"!!! We… [cont.]

A. Urban legend alert! FTZs predate Communist China by 15 years: they started in 1934. People can't live in a FTZ. They are US territory with US laws, the only thing they get are a few tax breaks and a few less Customs regulations. They are essentially storage and assembly points to encourage foreign companies to operate here. Once the goods leave an FTZ, they get taxed and subject to Customs duties. WHERE does this nonsense come from?

Unemployed, all bills due, and about to be evicted. Where can a family find emergency assistance?
Q. I got fired from my job in June for lack of sales. I've gone to unemployment, got denied unemployment insurance. Applied for jobs at several places locally, but don't have ANY money for gas to commute the 40 mile drive to boise where I could probably get work. Welfare isn't an option, because we didn't qualify for it, and even if we had they only provide $309 per month. My wife, my 4 yr old and I are literally at the point where a miracle is necessary to save us from homelessness. out of desperation I even started checking out the work from home online stuff, 99.9% of which are scams, and the .1% that arern't cost $97 dollars, or $197 dollars. We're really, royally screwed,and need help. anyone got any idaes?
Asked by James C - Wed Jul 16 20:53:01 2008 - Other - Family & Relationships - 1 Answers - Comments

A. Anything that you have to pay for to work from home is a scam...just remember that. Catholic churches have and know good resources for needy families. They may be able to help with rent/mortgage, power bills, gas money, food, toiletries, etc. So, try giving them a call. If you get to a point where there is no money coming in then you will qualify for assistance through your county or state even if you didn't qualify before when you had a job. Try reapplying... I know times are hard. I'm feeling the strain of a failing economy also...just barely keeping above water... I'm sorry for what you are going through hope things start looking up soon.

I sat on a 250cc bike and i didn't feel comfortable because the bike was so small. i have a Honda shadow and I love it to pieces. I did dump it once when i was first learning, but it will happen. My advice to you is to go to the dealers and sit on didn't kinds of motorcycles. you will know which feels the best to you. just because i have a 600cc bike doesn't mean i use it, its all up to you weather you use all the cc's or not. its all on how the rider uses the throttle. good luck and ride safe!

Anybody have an idea how to start this Database project?
Q. I have a database that I need to design for a car dealership in Boise, Idaho that repairs used cars and then resells these cars to the public. The sale price of the completed car is based on the original cost of the car plus all the time and repairs. This system tracks all the information necessary: -Location from which the car came -Location from which the parts came -To whom the car was sold -Plus all the costs associated with each individual car. --- I'm trying to think of the best ways to do this, any opinions on what tables to form for the data and anything else to get a conceptual diagram for this? Nothing too complicated, this should be pretty basic to do.

A. that is why it is best to buy fresh and LOCALLY. Pay a little more and get organic and items produced only in the US!! Wash everything before you eat it, and cook everything thoroughly. I only eat critters that I know (my neighbors lamb, chickens, eggs and beef) and know what they ate and even who butchers them! Tom's of Maine has organic toothpaste. And for goodness sake, get organic, no sugar added natural peanut butter. You can grind it yourself at a whole foods store or in the organic section at your grocery. grow your own veggies or get them from your local farmer's market. Even the beer and wine we drink is made locally! You can easily drop out of the world market and have safe and healthy whole foods if you put in a little effort.

A. Go to maps.google.com and look at the satellite imagery. You can't get to the lowest level down, but that'll at least give you an aerial view. To say the obvious, borrow someone else's camera and take a picture with it. If you want it online then get a digital camera. By the way, you can't save the google satellite imagery as you would normal images. You might have to use a screen capture utility. That's a whole 'nother kettle of worms -- ask people how to get a photo capture of the google satellite imagery.
