What is reitired life like on St. Croix for a single, fit, active African American lady?
After a lifetime allergy to the Midwestern and Northeastern cold, the extreme FL humidity and Southern CA smog, I am more than ready for an affordable, up-close, ground floor, step out-onto-the- beach-centered lifestyle, living in either in the Sugar Beach condos or Harbour Beach condos on St. Croix's North shore. Does anyone have experience living there year-round? Please let me know how you like it (or don't). What are the issues with management and with the units and the grounds? How pleasant and safe are those neighborhoods, given their proximity to what has been described as a Section 8 housing project (called Harborview)? How close is the project? I like to walk/hike 3 to 6 miles a day-will I be able to safely and enjoyably do that around there? How close is public transportation if I don't want to or can't drive? I'm 60 and am planning to visit St. Croix again next year and stay at Sugar Beach condos. This will be my first return visit to St. Croix (and my first visit to Sugar Beach condos) since my initial visit there in 1987 as a cruise ship passenger. I'm sure a LOT has changed! What are the realities of daily life, social relationships and medical care for American Baby Boomers? How expensive is water for drinking, washing and laundry on a monthly basis in general? I will be bringing my Mom who is diabetic, has a heart condition and is in her late 70's to live with me, as she does now. How are retirees faring in their 80's and 90's? Is quality long term/home care assistance available if needed? What about emergency medical care (how well does MASA, the medical air service, work in reality?) How does Medicare and Medicare Advantage work there? Is there some other insurance, that is preferred by Americans that is better to have than another one? The websites, books and articles by ex-pats that I've been reading about on moving to St. Croix have been very helpful, but I haven't found much in-depth info about mainland American retirees who have stayed the course and lived out (or are continuing to live out) their lives in St. Croix to the end. If anyone has info about that, I'd appreciate it. I really do want to make this my last move after a life of having to move frequently. Are organic, natural, vegetarian foods and yoga classes widely available and reasonably priced? With regard to finances, I am considering opening an account at the BancoPopular branch here in L.A, now, in order to have a seamless financial transction when I move to STX. Anyone have experience with them? Any other thoughts about banking? In this account I will be saving over the next 6 years to buy a 2b/2b condo in one of the places mentioned above. I'd like to buy one in the next 12-14 months if I could find an owner financed/rent-to-own arrangement and rent it out most of th e year until I retire at 66. Otherwise, I'll have to wait till dollar$ are saved up till retirement in 6 years in order to pay cash. that of course is a a gamble that prices won't rise too fast in the interim! If there are other "right-on-the-beach properties where the unit itself is as close to the water's edge as they arein these two properties, let me know. If I do end up having to get a small mortgage, perhaps the relationship I.m starting with Banco Popular will be helpful. It has been suggested that I consider other "waterfront/beachfront" condo properties. However, the ones I've seen are much further back or have landscaping, pools, tennis courts or dining areas between them and the beach. I really do want to be right on the beach. Of course, not knowing the island, I could easily be overlooking something. From past experience, real estate agents frequently tend to only want to show or suggest certain properties, even when the buyer is explicit in what they want to see. Since I'm only going to get to do this once, I'm focusing on what's most meaningful and affordable for me. It doesn't have to be a large or fancy place, just safe, attractive, comfy, clean and right on the sand with an unobstructed view. The only thing closer is a boat or an RV, both of which are a little bit too claustrophobic! Even a structurally sound fixer-upper (I'm not afraid of a power drill or of hanging dry wall!) or a tax lien property could be of interest (fitting the above parameters of course). In addition to a small pension and Social Security, I plan to earn income through my research and writing biz which should supply enough to cover my "guesstimated" total monthly living expenses of $1200-$1500, including condo fees and insurance costs. Hopefully that is realistic. Any information anyone can offer is welcome, including a recommendation for a good hair salon that does flat-ironing. Thank you!

Question answered by Rondi
I hate to burst your bubble of enthusiasm but......1200-1500 $$$ isn't even close to enough. Unless you want to live in poverty. Are you familiar with LEAC? It's an adjustment clause in your electric bill that comes every month. It's very expensive. Your WAPA and LEAC combined will be as much as your mortgage. Your insurance will be unbelievable. Real estate prices on St Croix are falling at this time. The closure of Hovensa cost the island 3000 of the highest paying jobs. It's hard times for Crucian's right now. We have made 7 recent trips to St Croix in the process of retiring on island. It's a complicated move. You have picked the right area being the north shore......while it is clearly the best location it is also the most expensive. We're taking 300K in cash and retirement incomes of $2800 per month. We have abandoned plans to purchase real estate at this time......we simply don't have enough money.What classes do you have to take to become an airplane pilot?
I'm interested in becoming an airplane pilot, I'm pretty positive that the classes is math, science, and probably mechanics. Mechanics would probably be considered A.G. to me, which might be a bad thing since I'm not good at welding. I would also like to know how much it takes to become an airplane pilot, I heard it could get expensive. Thanks!

"Become a pilot" can mean a variety of different things. If you want to secure the Private Airman Certificate, so that you can fly for pleasure and personal transportation, it will cost you about US$5,000 to US$9,000 depending on where you are and the arrangements you can make. A private pilot can carry passengers and can add ratings for complex and multi-engine airplanes, but cannot be paid for piloting services. If you want to fly for money, you can become a general commercial pilot. The basic requirement for the Commercial Airman Certificate is 250 hours total flight time. Virtually all commercial certificate holders also secure the instrument and multi-engine ratings, and most secure the instructor ratings. The commercial certificate with ratings will cost you US$15,000 to US$25,000 above the private certificate, which you must have first. All of these certificates involve a written test and a flight check ride, which includes oral test questions. A considerable amount of aeronautical knowledge is required, and you have to be the kind of person who enjoys learning about science, math, and technical subjects. In none of these cases must you complete courses specifically in mechanical, scientific, or engineering courses. It helps if you are mechanically knowledgeable, but general knowledge and common sense are the important areas of intellectual development. There is also a medical certification requirement, which begins when you apply as a student pilot and continues throughout your career. With the Commercial Certificate, you can earn money for pilot services, and you can find a variety of interesting and rewarding jobs. You can fly cargo, charter, and instruction. You can tow banners and do pipeline/power line patrol. You can be a bush pilot. You can have a lot of fun and make some money. You will not be qualified to apply to the airlines for a piloting job. The airlines require a 4-year college degree, a first class medical certification, an Air Transport Pilot Certificate, and typically 2,000 hours or so of flight time. A lot of that can be paid time, but you should expect to spend a total of US$80,000 to US$100,000 before you sit in the flight deck of an airliner. You do not have to go through the military to be a commercial pilot or an airline pilot, though it has traditionally been a more sure route to the best jobs. But you must have a 4-year college degree to apply to the airlines. Aircraft systems and flight procedures become more complex every year, and the airline hiring executives want to know that you have the study skills and the ability to learn quickly. So they won't even talk to a person nowadays without the college degree. People will argue with me about that, but they are behind the times. Good luck!How much does it cost to get pilot's license?
How much doest it cost to get PPL,CPL,CFI? I think those three are the basic license to get hired from airline company. Please tell me in US dollars. (I am planning to attend flying school during college year through vacation.)

Taking a cruise next week that returns on Sunday and docks at 8:30am (Manhattan Port). Will I have enough time to catch a 9:45 bus (nearby Port Authority) to head back home or will it take too long to get off the boat?

Question answered by Jeff H
Generally ships arrive in port on time, it costs them money to be late and they have to lineup for both arrival and departure. However it is not late arrival that can create a problem but getting off the ship. When you leave a cruise you will generally be assigned a number or colour/number combination. People disembark based upon these and they are called in sections. It can take anywhere from an hour to two hours to actually leave the ship. You then have to locate your luggage and generally clear customs. Unless you are one of the early ones (and those are normally people in suites), an hour and 15 mintues may not be enough time. I would probably plan on taking a later bus or make alternate arrangements. Considering the size of a cruise ship and the amount of luggage and passengers on board, they actually get you off very fast when compared to other modes of transportation. Luggage is picked up the night before you leave, you will need a carry-on bag obviously, and it is unloaded by the sections people leave in.What is the process of going on a cruise with friends?
How does the pay a portion of the ticket now, pay a portion later work? I imagine you get the tickets after you've paid everything up first. Do they mail them to you or can you print them out? I want to go with friends. Do we all have to book at the same time? There will be about 4 of us, two to a room. I'm just confused about how all of this works. Can someone give me a step by step. Thanks!

Question answered by TINKERTOY ..... the 1 & only
I have been on many cruise and regularly book my cruises on line. Here's how it works. You go to the cruise line web site and select the cruise that you want and then click on begin the registration process. The web site may or may not let you book two cabins at once, some do. (if the site does not let you book two cabin at once then call the customer service number on the site and explain that you want two cabins for your cruise and you would like them adjoining or in close proximity or on the same floor, whichever applies) The web site will ask you questions about whether you want air transportation included, whether you want transfers between the airport and the ship (both ways) included, whether you belong to their cruise club (they give discounts for that), and whether you want travel insurance protection included. The web site will take you through the process or registering, allowing you to pick a date, cabin type (inside, outside, balcony, suite), and the other options mentioned and then it will give you a total price. The web site will require a minimum deposit of $250 per person (for a 7-day cruise ..... less for a shorter cruise). You will then be able to elect to continue with booking and enter the names of passengers and eventually your credit card information, OR, if you don't like the total you can just cancel or quit the site and start over. If you finish the registration and make your deposit you will have to set up a profile (user ID and passworded) on the web site's system which will allow you to view your reservations on line, and also make changes and payments. You can make payments in increments of $100 at any time just by logging into the web site using your user name and password. You will also be able to complete all of the pre-cruise information that is required. They will ask for your home address and phone number, passport number and its expiration date, the telephone number of a person to notify in the event of an accident, your air or other arrangements made to get to the port, and finally you can set up your accounts for charges aboard the ship. When you have finished all of this your will be required to print several pages from the web site which has your reservation number on it and the information which you have input. You will be requested to bring this with you to check in at the ship. You will in effect have printed your whole cruise contract, ticket, and boarding pass. Royal Caribbean calls their boarding pass a "SET SAIL" pass. Other lines call their's something similar. About 30 days before your cruise, and assuming you have made all of your payments, the cruise line will send you more information in the mail. This will include information about tours from the ship, formal wear rental if you need it, gifts you can purchase for your cruise, and most important, they will include luggage tags (usually 3 per person) for your bags.What is the OMM process, Operations and Materials Management of a construction company?

Question answered by gayle g
hope this gives you some of the answers you are looking for: Large organizations are very complex. They must effectively manage money, materials, equipment, and people. Operations research analysts find better ways to coordinate these elements by applying analytical methods from mathematics, science, and engineering. Analysts often find many possible solutions for meeting the goals of a project. These potential solutions are presented to managers, who choose the course of action that they think best. Operations research analysts are often involved in top-level strategizing, planning, and forecasting. They help to allocate resources, measure performance, schedule, design production facilities and systems, manage the supply chain, set prices, coordinate transportation and distribution, or analyze large databases. The duties of the operations research analyst vary according to the structure and management of the organization they are assisting. Some firms centralize operations research in one department; others use operations research in each division. Operations research analysts also may work closely with senior managers to identify and solve a variety of problems. Analysts often have one area of specialization, such as working in the transportation or the financial services industry. Operations research analysts start a project by listening to managers describe a problem. Then, analysts ask questions and formally define the problem. For example, an operations research analyst for an auto manufacturer may be asked to determine the best inventory level for each of the parts needed on a production line and to ascertain the optimal number of windshields to be kept in stock. Too many windshields would be wasteful and expensive, whereas too few could halt production. Analysts would study the problem, breaking it into its components. Then they would gather information from a variety of sources. To determine the optimal inventory, operations research analysts might talk with engineers about production levels, discuss purchasing arrangements with buyers, and examine storage-cost data provided by the accounting department. Relevant information in hand, the analysts determine the most appropriate analytical technique. Techniques used may include a Monte Carlo simulation, linear and nonlinear programming, dynamic programming, queuing and other stochastic-process models, Markov decision processes, econometric methods, data envelopment analysis, neural networks, expert systems, decision analysis, and the analytic hierarchy process. Nearly all of these techniques involve the construction of a mathematical model that attempts to describe the system being studied. So, the problem of the windshields, for example, would be described as a set of equations that try to model real-world conditions. The use of models enables the analyst to explicitly describe the different components and clarify the relationships among them. The descriptions can be altered to examine what may happen to the system under different circumstances. In most cases, a computer program is developed to numerically evaluate the model. Usually the model chosen is modified and run repeatedly to obtain different solutions. A model for airline flight scheduling, for example, might stipulate such things as connecting cities, the amount of fuel required to fly the routes, projected levels of passenger demand, varying ticket and fuel prices, pilot scheduling, and maintenance costs. By assessing different possible schedules, the analyst is able to determine the best flight schedule consistent with particular assumptions. Based on the results of the analysis, the operations research analyst presents recommendations to managers. The analyst may need to modify and rerun the computer program to consider different assumptions before presenting the final recommendation. Once managers reach a decision, the analyst usually works with others in the organization to ensure the plan’s successful implementation. Work environment. Operations research analysts generally work regular hours in an office environment. However, because they work on projects that are of immediate interest to top managers, operations research analysts often are under pressure to meet deadlines and may work more than 40 hours a week.What do I do if I am involved in an accident?
If I'm driving down the road and someone hits my car on the passenger side, after the police report and everything else is finished, what do I do. Do you call my insurance first? Do you call the other persons insurance? Who determines who's at fault? What if I need a rental car? Who pays for the rental and my lost wages if I am unable to attend work? I do have full coverage insurance on my car. And that other car is insured too. Please provide me with some info on the subject. Thank you. You're help is appreciated.

Question answered by speedwell
Call your insurance, file a claim. Call their insurance, make sure a claim has been filed. Let the insurance companies determine who is at fault, they may need your cooperation in the form of a recorded statement and/or a diagram. If you have rental insurance, you can use it while your car is in the shop. If you do not have rental insurance, you can pay for it out of pocket, however there is no guarantee that you will be reimbursed, so make sure that you mitigate your damages, keeping cost effectiveness in mind. The fact that your car is in a shop is not a sufficient reason to miss work. People without transportation make arrangements to be at work on time and on a daily basis, you can too. Take the bus, borrow a car, get a ride, carpool, ride a bike, walk. The fastest way to resolve it is to repair your car through your own first party coverage. If you absolutely must go through the other insurance company, you will need to wait until the liability is determined and accepted before you can get your repairs done though the other carrier.In JFK new york airport are people available to help with luggage?

Hi VP, Are you relocating to or away for NY? Skycaps are available but is differs if you are leaving JFK or coming to it. http://www.panynj.gov/commutingtravel/airports/html/ken_ada.html DEPARTING Curbside unloading areas for baggage and passengers are available at each terminal and in most cases are weather protected and located close to each airline's entrance door. Please make arrangements with your airline at least 24 hours in advance to confirm assistance with baggage check-in, ticketing and movement to the gate area and the availability of curbside parking. Skycaps are available to assist you in getting your luggage to the check-in-area. ARRIVING For most scheduled airlines, you can expect weather-protected passage via modern jetways from the aircraft to your terminal. Once in the terminal, elevators are available where a change to another level is required to reach baggage claim, ground transportation or connecting flights from JFK. If you are traveling on American Eagle at Terminal 8, please have your travel agent contact the airline and let them know what time your flight is due to depart. American Eagle has two ADA certified lifting devices that will take you from the ground to the aircraft entrance safely and comfortably. In the baggage claim areas, Skycaps are available to help with your luggage. If a friend, family member or business associate will be driving to the airport to meet you, please understand that they will not be permitted to wait in their car at the arrivals level curb frontage. If you and all your baggage are not there when your ride pulls up to the curb, the driver must park in an airport parking lot and walk to the terminal to wait for you. Meeter-Greeters are required to pay the same parking fee as other airport customers. Cars standing (not actively loading or unloading at the arrivals or departures curbs) will be ticketed, and unattended cars will be towed at the owners expense.what is the qualification to become a pilot?
