4/30 I know there are some grad students here. How much do you end up paying per year in Union dues, if you are on a unionized campus? Has anyone found a way to get out of paying the dues if they don't want to be in or support the union? How much to the union people interfere in your everyday work? Any informaion, prefereably with links is appreciated. We are trying to stop a union on our campus. -ecchang \_Just go up to the Union rep and demand your dues back if they've been garnished. This Union crap is garbage since grad students in different majors have nothing in common with one another. Why would an MBA student want to join a union? \_ There's dental plans and dental plans. My fiance, a UCB \_ The union at UC Berkeley is responsible for the grad students finally getting a dental plan. Does that help? \_ Are dental plans ever actually worth the hassle of finding a doctor in the system just for a tiny cut in price? \_ almost all dentists are in Delta. \_ There's dental plans and dental plans. My fiancee, a UCB \_ There's dental plans and dental plans. My fiance, a UCB grad student, can now afford dental work where before she couldn't. YMMV. \_ "Tiny cut" is 50% or more? \_ In general, liberal arts programs/students are poor and want unions more than those in the engineering disciplines \_ To some degree that treatment is deliberate. America already has plenty of history and sociology PhD's. So we tend to treat the PhD students pretty poorly ... reduces demand (and there's still too many of them). Engineering and hard sciences, on the other hand, can find jobs elsewhere so have to be treated well, AND we need more of them. At most schools RA/TA salaries for eng/sci are much higher (and eng/sci grad students usually have a much lower teaching load over their unions more than those in the engineering disciplines graduate careers). |

4/30 Initially when we went into Somalia, the people loved the US troops. We brought them food and they were fed. After the situation stabilized the Somalis turned against us. And culminated by dragging a dead US soldiers through the streets. Beware that history might repeat itself. \_ Tell that to George W. "I look to history, but only selectively" Bush. \_ Wow, that's a really cool rewrite of history. I like how you saw a hollywood movie made from a book and then decided how the world works from there and can be applied to all other cases the same way. I'm glad you don't work in foreign affairs. Keeping hacking java. Stick with what you know, you'll do better. \_ Yea, like I said, this looks like another Palestine, except a few times larger. \_ Somalia was never stablized. Warlords ruled most of the country. The US went in to cover food aid and then got mixed up in nation building. Right now, Afghanistan is a closer match but without constant media showing Somalia's millions of starving. Iraq will be MUCH different from both. I agree with the Palestine analogy. \_ Only difference is that unlike Israel, US civilians are not at the scene, and hence not as exposed. Hopefully US military personnel fend for themselves better. Otherwise, it can get ugly. |

4/29 Can someone remind me what is the name of the circular, hotel-top place in SF around Embarcadero where people go for "romantic dates"? I think it's a dining / bar area on top of Marriot or some big hotels around there where you have a cicular view of the bay. And, what's the likely of me getting a dinner reservation for this Friday night? \_ Go the Union Square and buy a homeless guy some food to show her your caring sensitive 90's side. Show her that you're in touch with your nurturing caring feminine inner self. Women like that. \_ Equinox. No problems getting a reservation. \- if you want to go somewhere for a date, go to aquarello or merenda. m is a little cheeper than a. going to equinox, julius castle,carnellian room etc is stupid. "the view" at the top of the marriot is ok, but i would avoid it on a friday night ... it is a really cheesy scene. same for top of the mark. if you go to the view, get an "absolut kamikaze" --psb \- beach chalet is ok for a date too. lower budget. --psb \_ Speaking of which, inquiring minds want to know how the Potempkin went. \- i dont potemkin and tell. \_ On Sunday mornings the Equinox hosts a jazz brunch and 103.7 (KKSF) broadcasts from the restaurant. It is an all inclusive brunch, read as much liquor you want to drink on a Sunday morning, but price is about $50 per person. I've spent almost four hours eating, drinkin, and being merry so it is well worth the price, but almost more suited for a group of people going together than a date. --dre \_ Ritz Carlton brunch is $50 per person. Take your pick. |

Why do you assume that someone of any political stripe would delete only the alternative viewpoint's threads? Quite the opposite in fact. The left posting is an opportunity to correct and educate because leftists don't have views, they have feelings. \_ Right on! Conservatives always argue from logic and never resort to personal attacks like those weepy liberals. \_ the vast majority of everyone is a moron. there are a few well-informed people on both sides of most issues. \_ I don't speak for other conservatives. I'm the one who purged the other crap so I'm replying for myself. You asked a question about what was purged, the person who did it told you. Don't like the answer? Tough shit. |

4/29 Say I'm sueing someone and I'd like to track down where this person lives. How much do private investigators cost? BTW this is the guy who hit my car and gave me a fake address and insurance information. \- what do you know accuratly? name? lic plate? seems like the police should help you out. while it probably isnt a high priority, they might be helpful since it is so simple. i would think your insurance company could get it from dmv or police or other means. --psb \_ Why are you the one doing the suing? Turn over all the info you have to your insurance company and let them deal with it. They're going to want to find him and make his insurance company pay so they don't have to. \_ Probably below the insurance deductible and the $750 damage minimum to report. Sucks to be you. \_ My door got dinged by an SUV going 10 mph. $2200. Something under $750 is a paint scratch. A small paint scratch. \_ May not be a new car. |

4/30 Where do you go to get car regular maintainance? The dealers are charging a lot of money. But do you trust a non-dealer? \_ Sure I trust my non-dealer, and more than I do the dealer. But there is value to sticking with the dealer until the end of the warranty period. \_ As a Ford owner I can unfortunately honestly say you should a) never buy a Ford no matter how good a deal it looked like at the time and \_ what did you buy, and what location? (randomly curious, also had bad luck with Ford in the past) \_ I'm too ashamed to say anything that might ID me. I *have* seen Ford dealership stories on the net on their different scams and had the local PoS try one on me exactly as described on the net. Just don't buy a Ford. \_ Any links? b) if you're stupid enough to buy a Ford like me, then *never* bring it in to the dealer. Ford dealers charge waaaaaay too much and they don't always do the work they claimed to have charged you hundreds of dollars for. I trust my non-dealer. Ford almost killed me when they didn't bother to rebolt my transmission back in place properly. What do you think would've happened if it dropped while I was doing 65? [btw, I've got a Ford for sale if anyone wants a good used car] \_ ask dbushong his ford matrix test drive story. \_ uh, i think you're thinking of the ford focus? \_ Depends on the car. Dealer is usually more expensive, but also more inclined to court your business (i.e. if they mess up they will try harder to correct it). They also have the best tools, manuals, and such. That doesn't mean they do a better job, though. If it is a newer car you care about and wish to keep, then take it to the dealer. Otherwise, find a good mechanic you trust and take it there. --dim \_ for lots of things (eg transmissions), dealers just send the work out. \_ Even if this is true, the dealer has more clout and leverage than you do when the work goes bad. --dim \_ marty's motors \_ I went here once and when I was looking over my itemized bill I saw some extra $200 charge. when I asked him what it was he said, "uh... my secretary made a mistake. sorry" and took it off. I dunno, maybe it really was the secretary's fault... he seemed nice enough besides... \_ fred's wrench in alameda \- oceanworks is pretty good but they mostly do japanese cars--psb \_ http://parents.berkeley.edu/recommend/services has a list of fairly reliable recommendations in the Berkeley area. --chris |
