  1. Rainman Records needledrops?
  2. Indeed, I was once working on site with a French co worker. One morning over breakfast in the Hotel, he asked what (pointing at foil topped Marmite single serving) it was? I said, you spread it your toast, like jam. He then proceeded to liberally apply the entire contents of the packet to a slice of toast. I didn't have the heart to tell him that you only need a thin film on hot buttered toast. It was worth it to see the look on his face when he began eating

  4. ^ I feel your pain having come in the other direction. International tax law seems like one big con. Trying to read up on , and get definitive information, so as to allow for some sensible planning and modeling outcomes of actions seems like a non starter. All the rules seem discretionary, so you have no way knowing how they will be applied to you, until they are! Any information that is out there is couched in caveats, and advice to "refer to a professional", although finding someone with relevant expertise in the required area is problematic. A case in point. Some other ex pats we knew were returning back to the UK, having rented out their house while they were in the USA. If they sold their house in the UK, in a tax year when they were non resident in the UK, then they would be exempt from capital gains on the sale of the house in the UK. If they sold the house after their return, they might be liable to capital gains made while non resident. So essentially they were forced to sell their house before returning home in order to definitely avoid some possible liability. They then bought a new home in a new location in the UK as the husband was relocating with his company. Only to be made redundant shortly after his return to the UK. The uncertainty and time horizons involved make this a less fun subject. Selling and Buying a house as an ex-pat involves timing three markets (Selling house market, foreign exchange rate market, buying house market), so whatever you do will be non optimal. Don't get me started on rates/charges for foreign currency transactions. At least now there are come currency brokers who can set you up with some ForEx Options to give you a hedge against currency fluctuations. (e.g an option to purchase currency at a fixed rate, in advance, for a price )

  10. East Palo Alto has experienced crime and poverty, especially during the 1980s and early 1990s. In 1992, the city had the highest per-capita murder rate in the country with 24,322 people, and 42 murders, equaling a rate of 172.7 murders per 100,000 residents.[3]. Since then the city's crime problems have somewhat subsided, and the murder rate in particular has declined. In 2006, East Palo Alto experienced a comparatively low 6 murders. There were 7 murders in 2007. According to a 2008 report provided by Ron Davis, Chief of Police, violence is on the decline. Davis reports an overall 42% reduction in homicides and a 20% reduction in overall crime between 2006-2008, compared to the previous three years.
