safe and affordable cities in California?

safe and affordable cities in California?
My friend is 18 yrs old and wants to move to California after high school graduation. After reading some other questions like this Alameda, Santa Ana, San Jose and Long Beach sound like good options. Do any of you have opinions on these places or know of any better ones?

LONG BEACH? Is NOT cheap. And not generally too safe. It's one of the more dangerous cities in CA. Although there are some safe parts there...You will be paying more for rent (ATLEAST 1200/month in a not amazing area). San Jose is great...It's near San Francisco, a short drive to the ocean, etc. It's not really cheap here either. I live near San Jose and work in San Jose and I pay $1580/month + all utilities for a 790 sq ft. 1 bdrm! Alameda is the county I live in...I don't know much about the town itself. And I don't really know much about Santa Ana either. It is safer in Northern CA, but more expensive near SF. This state is NOT cheap. I guess your best bet for safety might be San Jose. I like the city enough...Not too much here...But lots within driving distance.

How can I convince my dad to let me go to California?
Hi I'm kelsey I'm a 13 year old girl. My school has a week which we call MEA week where the teachers have workshops all day everyday and we get the whole week off. My dad is going to San jose California the Thursday before MEA. It has been my dream to attend either Stanford or cal since I was 6. My dad went to cal and he said he wanted to show me the campus. I'm in eigth grade and play varsity volleyball at a large school. I know for sure I want to play volleyball at cal or Stanford. Over the week we r there cal is playing Stanford in volleyball at stanford. We r staying at my great uncles beach house which is a half an hour away from stanford. It works out so perfect even my dad said it would be fun. I would have to fly alone but I have done it before. How do I convince him to let me go?! I want this so bad. I'm a very determined girl and I am about to cry I want to go so bad! Thank u for all of ur help!

Well, don't cry lol. You want to convince him that you're mature. And make sure you emphasize that you want to go so you can check out the school and not for fun necessarily.. Maybe even contact the school ahead of time and try to set up a tour or a meeting with a couselor or something to talk about the school. Those kind of things will show him that your mature and serious about your future and that this trip will help you to achieve your goals.

I'm not sure about which schools there, but I'm SURE you can check out the local college classes, they always have summer programs for students of all ages. If you take a regular college class though, you'll probably have to have some pre-requisite drawing classes already. Though sometimes, some professors will admit you if you have a portfolio that shows you are good at what you do, otherwise, I'd recommend the drawing classes, I think beginning drawing was the best art class I ever had, even though I was already an established artist when I started school & graduated with a BFA, it was still the best class.

Do I need to get permission to hold an event at a public park?

Do I need to get permission to hold an event at a public park?
I'm planning an event sort of thing for september, and I need a place to host the event. I was looking for community centers when I thought of parks. I was hoping to be able to use a park next to an elementary school...and I don't know if I need to get permission from anyone (like the city). I know people usually have birthday parties at parks, but this isn't so personal. It's supposed to involve the community... And for anyone who might know the park, I'm thinking about Northwood Park in San Jose, California.

High school journalism internship?

High school journalism internship?
I'm a high school junior looking for an opportunity to work with a local newspaper in San Jose, California; I've already written for and been an editor of my high school newspaper for 2 years already. Is there any opportunity for me to find an internship with a newspaper? I want to expand my interests in journalism outside of school, so I'm planning to quit my school's journalism program in favor of a more upper-tier program, such as, perhaps, taking the chance to be a staff writer in my community newspaper, such as the San Jose Mercury News. Any idea on where I could acquire such an internship? Preferably during next school year. Thanks!!

How much should I charge to care for an infant in my home?

How much should I charge to care for an infant in my home?
San Jose, California I have a three old (experienced parent). I have an Education degree and have taught 3 years in public school. Full day of child care (probably 8am-5pm)

20$ for the day

I charge my babysitter $22 an hour for my two kids and she has all she needs and if she needs to go to the store i always leave extra money with my kids and my car so incase something should happen or they would like to get something to eat.And i work from 8a.m to 8:30 p.m


3
For an infant under 6 months, in Maine where we live, it's about $275 a week, full time. What is that about 55 bucks a day?? I'd go on the internet or call other local daycares and see how much they charge. Also, licensed daycares can charge more, but a one on one childcare for a baby is pretty awesome! So I think you should be paid on the higher end.


4
minimum $250 40 houres.


5
Surely not less than $50/day, that'd be a joke. Seeing that you have a lot to offer and you're located in California, I'd say you could easily get away with more. Maybe $65ish? I'd do my homework and call a few places in your area to see what they charge.


6
Check your local paper for other day care providers. Give them a call and ask how much they are charging. Generally infants are more than toddlers.


7
I am currently caring for an infant from 8am-5pm, five days a week and the family pays me $100 a day. That's the norm for my area. If you want, you can check out www.sittercity.com . It's a great website that helps babysitters, nannies and parents to connect. They also have a great section called tips and resources that helps decide pay for your area. It's called the Rate Calculator. You put in your zip code, years experience, number of children and some other factors. It gives you an hourly rate that fits your area and job requirements.

If you have a W-2, you can still file.


2
You can still file your return and get a refund (if entitled to it). The statue of limitations on refunds is 3 years, so you will need to file your return by 4/15/09 to still claim the refund.


3
You have up to 3 years from the due date of the return to claim your refund which would be 4/15/09. Go to ires.gov, pint off a 2005 1040EZ, put the information from your W-2 on it, and mail the return to the IRS. They will send you a refund if you have one do, or bill you for tax due, which would probably be unlikely in your case.


4
If you have the W2 file the return today, if you don't have your W2 contact IRS at 1-800-829-1040. IF you are due a refund you will get the refund.


5
If anything was withheld for federal income tax and you didn't owe it for taxes, then yes you can - you'll need your W-2 or a copy of it to file.

Ughhh. Go to europe then. You can ask the same thing, why do so many White's hate minorities and that's not just for California. I agree with your point Legalize it for Freedom. As long as you are minding your business, that's all you need to do. Because I'm sure not a lot of White people are defending Asians, no all Minorities, as you are them. Just because you like "white girls", that doesn't always mean they are going to like you back like you do them.

WHATS BETTER.. CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL or TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL!!??

WHATS BETTER.. CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL or TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL!!??
i live in california and in our area (san francisco, san jose, plao alto.....) we have some great football teams including De La Salle which has been the number one football team in the country. But can Texas football compete??

Of course. What is so great about California's football teams? Alabama is probably good too.


2
California high schools have a much bigger pool of athletes going all over the country than Texas.


3
EVERYTHING IS BIGGER AND BETTER IN TEXAS!!


4
Neither, the Altoona, Pennsylvania Mountain Lions are the best team.


5
all i can say is that they take Football too seriously down in the south... they worship football. Have you seen Varsity Inc. on ESPN? anyways... i think talent wise its at even par. Same goes with Florida. Them 3 states constitutes to many NFL superstars of today. ..ok, im from CA and i played HS ball, so ill be biased and say CA is better :P


6
I think Texas takes their high school football to an insane level. Even though I think it is highly unhealthy how they treat their high school athletics, I think they might be better based on their emphasis. Besides, what else are they going to do in Texas?


7
Is this a serious question? Texas High School Football is almost as big as college football is to Alabama! You go to a gas station in Texas and they sale little booklets on high school football teams. Rosters, coaches, past records, etc. This is no contest. A better question would be if Texas was better than Alabama, Florida, or Pennsylvania high school football. Where did California come from?


8
I've heard people talking about this. Honestly, I have to believe Texas high schools have more tradition in football, though they may not be better. Despite the talent of the players, football in Texas is serious business and I doubt any other state pays as much attention to it as Texas does. And most of the high school football movies are set in Texas. :D


9
Tom Brady- California Ladanian Tomlinson- Texas Drew Brees- Texas Reggie Bush- California Peyton Manning- Louisiana Brett Favre- Mississippi Tony Romo- Wisconsin It doesn't matter what state you played HS football in. Texas and California are the two biggest, so of course they have the most players.


10
Texas might take it more seriously... but that's the fans. Talent wise, CA is above and beyond.


11
NFL!!


12
California is way better and the reason is because they are good despite not having middle school football to teach kids fundamentals prior to getting into high school. This gives California a huge upside to work with once they get to the next level.


13
We have great high school football team in California, but people here don't take football as seriously as people from the South.. High school football, should be for recreational sports for students to compete, not as religious like ritual..


14
Michigan high school football duh


15
California has money which can buy state of the art facilities and recuits but they still lack the talent. Californians are usually softer and weaker which explains the pathetic nature of the PAC10. Texas football blows Cal football out of the water.


16
Neither. The high schools in Florida play a better brand of football than either Texas or California. That's a fact. You can look it up. Money and population and climate determine who's best. Those three states have an overwhelming amount of those assets. That's a fact. You can look it up. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana each are only slightly behind the top three. That's a fact. You can look it up. Seriously, I have had the privilege to referee high school football in both Texas and Florida, though not California. I feel that the difference in Texas and Florida is outside the lines. Talented players are abundant in both states but the Texas schools generate far more student and community support and participation than do the Florida schools. Drill teams, bigger bands, more cheerleaders, and far more community involvement are a way of life in the Lone Star state.
