发帖数: 1192 | 1 Fair Lawn is a very good choice if you work in Midtown.
The town has two train stations and two express bus lines to Port Authority.
It's about 30 min on the bus or train (transfer at Secaucus) if you take
express. Door to door commute is within an hour. There are plenty resident
parking spots at train or bus station.
The schools are very good, definitely above average. The town has large
Jewish populations. It has tons of parks, stores and restaurants nearby.
People are very nice in Fair Lawn.

发帖数: 243 | 4 consider getting a mower instead unless you're ok with the drawback of using
trimmer on lawns: hard to keep at the same level when moving so it won't
look as good as what mowers do. grass remains in lawn after cut and turns
yellow that makes the lawn less green. Mower doesn't cost that much more. if
you're ok with the inconvenience of dragging cables with you, a corded
mower will make you happy. |

我LD建议grass lawn park. 我查了，比较一下 grass lawn park 和 Lake Sammamish
Park：
grass lawn park：
http://www.redmond.gov/insidecityhall/parksrec/facilities4.asp
4pm 到晚上的reservation fee 是$90
好处：离LZ家近；亭子很大，不受风雨影响；旁边是一新造playground，很受孩子欢迎
,有孩子的同时吃和照顾孩子两不误；那park去年重建，很漂亮；好像知道的人不多，
我LD常带孩子去那，都见那空的，所以不预订也可能有位。
坏处：没有湖景；只一个Picnic Shelter，如果被占了就不能去。
Lake Sammamish Park：
有不同点可以预订，最好（大）的是$200, (小的还没问价）
好处：大，有湖景， 没预订也能找到一空地
坏处：人多，没预定的位置通常有人，不一定占到有烧烤炉的位置，孩子playground
可能较远 ，除非占在那旁边空地 |

杀虫类
1. 玫瑰防蚜虫

家的草坪大概六千多平方尺，每年为它花费了大量的金钱和时间。
浇水，一周三次，每次二十五分钟，碰到特别热的时候要隔天一次，不然草就发蔫，长

每次一百三，算下来每年一千五左右花在施肥和长虫。我也曾经试过自己做，结果发现
花费差不太多，但是买肥料、杀虫剂、除草剂、租工具的成本费也要一千左右，而且效
果不好，原因是工具不行，洒得不均匀，另外可能时间也没掌握好。
最烦是割草。夏天至少每周一次，有时要两次。原来用手推的mower，每次要一小时。
后来怒了，换了rider，虽然时间减少到半小时，但是花了一千五百多，还有汽油和机
油，当然最主要的是每周都有这件事在心里吊着，很讨厌。不但... 阅读全帖 |

In market economies, per capita GDP is directly proportional to the
population fraction with verbal IQ equal to or greater than 106.
We can make a pretty good guess. In all his versions, Man is the product of
adaptation to environments that existed more than 50,000 years ago. Africa,
Europe and Asia presented three distinct adaptational challenges resulting
in three major races: Negroid, Caucasoid and Mongoloid, each differing from
the other in certain physical, mental and psychological aspe... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 2406 | 47 If you want to help others shouldn't you exaust your own wealth first?
Or, how about you come to my house and mow my lawns and earn $50 so you can
give it to the poor? Instead of demand me to give this $ to the poor?
If you don't want to put in the extra work mowing my lawn to help the poor,
why do you demand me to work my extra hours to give the fruit to the poor?
Simple logic. You think all people are as dumb as you?

发帖数: 68 | 48 First of all, income is easier to calculate, so that is why they can tax it
that way. You have income from us, you pay for that. But asset is different
story. Since you propose tax on asset, not income, so just currently we have
way to calculate income does not necessary to accurately count asset. The
guy mowing your lawn have income, but his asset will be just pickup truck
and lawn mower. Your lawyer and cap, doctor all have good income, but his
law firm has no asset. He can sell his firm to yo... 阅读全帖 |

if they're better at mowing the lawn instead of making atomic bombs, they
should stick with the lawns.
if they're better at playing basketball instead of sending rockets to the
space, they should stick with the courts. |

发帖数: 29846 | 50 楼主不要把非法移民和合法移民混在一起,这个和民猪党的伎俩是一样的. 把合法移民
和非法移民绑架在一起,这个是非常卑鄙和短视的做法.
合法移民,特别是那种highly skilled, highly educated,当然要加快办理,而且每年要
扩大名额.这个对在美华人当然是个好事.
但那些非法移民,大部分都是高中都没有毕业的.这个要坚决打击. 我经常对那些老外说
,Yes, we need some people to mow the lawns. But we don't need 12 million
people to be here to mow the lawns.
用中文通俗一点的话来说, 你不过是想喝点牛奶嘛, 又何必拉一头牛回来呢.
现在对非法移民最好的做法,就是Romney说的那种self deportation.使用经济和行政的
手段,让非法移民滚蛋.做到下面几点,3年内非法移民问题就可以解决:
1. 严禁任何公司雇用非法移民.大点的公司使用e-verify.小点的公司要求SSN和驾照.
发现任何公司雇用非法移民,将公司罚款直到破产. 举报有10%的奖.
2.严禁... 阅读全帖 |
