    I want to purchase a cactus plant for my friend to put in her yard with no shade. I am in addison illinois.?

    Answer:
    Both of the previous answers are true--realistically a cactus won't make it through the winter where you live if planted out-of-doors. I recommend two approaches--the first of which seems the most practical. Plant your cactus in a container that can be moved indoors prior to the first frost/or freezing temperatures. Most cacti species will turn to mush within days of getting "frostbite." I have a six foot tall cathedral cactus variety that I bring into the house when the weather turns cold--and back out when the danger of frost is past. The second way is to construct a makeshift greenhouse or portable covering for the cactus--you can equip your protective covering with a 100 watt bulb inside to protect the cactus from the cold. I have known of a few people to go to such lengths. It sounds a bit far-fetched--but you asked. Good luck! PS: Prickly pear has the best chance.

    Is Addison Illinois a safe place to live, low crime, no gangs, etc? I'm thinking of moving there.?
    Question:
    Never been to the city myself but thinking of moving there.

    Answer:
    Gangs are all over. Avoid the cheaper apt. areas. There is a large Hispanic population which has led to a variety of stores and restaurants where you can find some really great food and a few bargains. There are two large thrift shops on Lake st. (rt 20) just west of Addison rd. There is a great grocery store called Caputos on lake st with fresh fruits and vegetables and a Jewel too. The people are generally hard working middle class with a good mix of age groups. Not the best place I've ever been but i go out of my way to shop there from time to time. Marcus cinemas has an IMAX on lake st by rt 53 and there's a walmart and a sam's club. Lots of retail, people are generally friendly. go and visit, pick up a Daily Herald in the area and check the police reports for addresses of reported crimes to give you a better idea of where problems tend to cluster. :)

    UPS in Addison Il.?
    Question:
    For any employees that may work at this ups(or anyone that knows the cta in addison illinois) are there any cta routes(bus, train, or combination) that are active in the morning providing service from oakpark there or does everyone literally drive there which I would find hard to believe?

    Answer:
    CTA does not come to Addison IL, not even in near by town. You literally have to drive to Addison IL. There is no bus serivce either not even pace. You can use metra but for that you first have to go to Union Station Chicago get off at Mehinah or Itasca and then you gonna need car to get from station to UPS service. So I guess car is the only option for you

    Transportaton to Addison?
    Question:
    Hello. I'm currently a college student at a 2 year school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I'm graduating in the fall of 2009 and I plan on moving to addison, illinois to attend Devry University. This month on October 17, I plan to travel to Addison, Illinois to take a tour of the school and meet with an adviser. I will be traveling via greyhound to the bus station located at 630 W HARRISON ST. The school is located at 1221 N. Swift Rd. What form of transportation can I take from the greyhound bus station in chicago to Devry Universtiy located in Addison, Illinois? I'm looking for a not so expensive mode of transportation to take me from the greyhound bus station to devry and vice versa.

    Answer:
    You will be going from the Greyhound station to Union Station. If you are traveling on a weekday, you can cross Des Plaines and take a #156 or #157 bus from the Harrison & Des Plaines bus loop, right across the street from the Greyhound station, to Union Station. At any time, you can take a #60 bus eastbound on Harrison. Or, you can walk, it's only three blocks east and three blocks north. Or a short cab ride. It really depends on how much time you have to catch the train. You will take the Metra train west to Addison. It will be at Union station at Canal & Adams, follow the signs inside Union station to the North Concourse. You wil be on the Milwaukee District West Line, but I'm not sure which station. Buy a round trip ticket before you get on the train--you pay an extra fee to buy it from the conductor. Call DeVry at 630-953-1300 and ask which Metra station they're near and if it's close enough to walk. They have cabs at bigger stations. Too bad you aren't getting there via Amtrak. It would be a simple matter of walking from the south end of the train station to the north end of the same train station.

    This is not a reality show… this is reality!?
    Question:
    Any and all help appreciated. Hello to all, I am a single father, raising my daughter on my own for several years since the passing of her mother. Of course I am no different than many others in this similar situation, “trying to make ends meet”. America is certainly the land of “opportunity, innovation and fresh ideas” and now amid a terrible economy to slug our way through, we are all now having to find the new trends, new directions and new beginnings. For some, with plenty of capitol under their belts, the times are not so bad. But, for the rest of us it is constant uneasiness and fear of whether things are going to get better soon or worse? I am tired of watching ordinary Americans, myself included, experience the economic highs and lows that make our lives so unstable and unpredictable! I for one have worked dam hard throughout my life only to watch someones relative or an incompetent boob advance on by me. Of course that is not true in all cases, but it is true enough to where we notice it. Don’t get me wrong, there are people with success that are deserving of the life they have built, but where I see flaws in our society today is the lack of true opportunities being given back to others that are deserving and have worked hard, so that in-turn those folks can give back to others. For so many of us ordinary, hardworking Americans who try to create better lives for ourselves we find the road blocks put up in our way by Corp Execs, Financial Institutions and Government. So you are probably saying “that’s true, but what’s your point”. Well, here it is… I have seen for years the most worthless people climb the “corporate ladder” while hard working people (like myself) slug my guts out and rarely get ahead or have anything long term or invested to show for it. It’s time for all of us out there who can relate to this to “have our cake and eat it too”! I respectfully ask all that read this and can relate or understand to help me in any way large or small. I am tired of working for others that just don’t “give back” to those that deserve it, really deserve it! So I am starting a movement of sorts which I am calling “true opportunities”. I am looking to start my own business and I need your help. I want to build a business to create independence for myself and in turn give back to others by creating jobs and opportunities to hard working Americans that usually don’t get “true opportunities”. I want to help real-hard working Americans find the success and security they deserve. NO! I am not trying to sell some “get rich quick” scheme or some elaborate scam. My vision is to create a multiple of businesses that true give opportunities to hard working people, without any prerequisites or conditions to meet. I am looking to build a network of business’ that span as many fields as possible and with this be able to open doors for people to careers they truly will love doing and be happy with. Of course we all would love to do things that maybe we are just not capable of doing but that does not mean we cannot still find something within our interests that we could love doing and be happy at and enjoy! Also, who’s to say we can’t change our minds from time to time? Well all that would certainly be a part of my network, in which one could apply for re-education towards a different career path and financial help would be granted as well as the career when the re-education period has ended. I know that one person can most likely NOT help everyone, but maybe my efforts and the example I will set will help others follow in my footsteps and create a chain reaction throughout the business world. I simply believe that there is not enough being done today, in our society, to offer true opportunities to good hardworking people. I believe business’ can and should afford to give back to its employees like they used to do, with insurance, promotions from within, continuing education, retirement. All these things are for sure, “investments into your employees”. Their happiness and security is essential for a great and productive work environment and the more a company invests into its employees, the more a business will grow. In my opinion, I feel the biggest problem with many companies today is that they do the opposite of what I have just stated and in effect handicap their own ability to grow! So without further ado…I would like to ask for any and all support in realizing the dream I have set forth in this letter. I of course need money to start up my campaign. I respectfully ask for help in this regard from anyone out there who has read this, believes this, understands this and can relate to what I have said! My name is John, my campaign is “True Opportunities”. As a product of this campaign every business I create from these efforts will bear the trade mark logo “TRUE OPPORTUNITIES” in its name for all to recognize and appreciate. For all that feel as I do, please send any donation $ you can afford to John @ P.O. Box 308 Addison, Illinois 60101. Every little bit helps and helps me to get started in this dream.

    Answer:

    I am 33 and looking to attend a 2yr college program for a ADN degree and I see that there are so many schools ?
    Question:
    with a lot of prerequisites and waiting lists and etc....I am in the Addison, Illinois area and looking for the best route to go. It seems that you can follow all the steps to get into the school of your choice and still be declined because of a waiting list or limited space.Most schools require from my understanding a max of a 5yr lapse from your H.S. graduation for all of the basic courses that you took. Do I have to re-do my entire H.S. subjects just to get to the nursing studies? What can I do?

    Answer:
    The five year time period is most likely for the prerequisites for the program (biology,chemistry,etc.) You do not have to redo any high school classes because there are college requirements. Im my area it is a 5-6 year waiting list from the time you submit your application (after all your prerequisites are taken care of). Good luck.

    Private or Public High School?? ?
    Question:
    i have been attending private catholic schools since k-10 grade. currently, i am in Driscoll Catholic High in Illinois(students: around 450) and in my first quarter of junior year. i really dislike my school, the academics aren't so great(good teachers have left), the diversity is very poor, there are so many stuck up people, and enrollment has dramatically gone down. my GPA is 3.5-3.7. i've been thinking of transferring to Addison Trail High, a public school down the street, would you say transferring there is the right choice if i want to get into college? every year, it has been a very tough financial struggle($8,000 per year) plus, i don't feel comfortable socially. if i transferred to a public school, i think i could save my parents money-and help save for college. do colleges acknowledge you more for being in a private school than a public one??

    Only the students really know for sure. http://www.onlinehighschoolreviews.com/Illinois-High-Schools.html

For decades Israel has violated well established precepts of international law and defied numerous United Nations resolutions in its occupation of conquered lands, in extra-judicial killings, and in its repeated acts of military aggression. Most of the world regards Israel's policies, and especially its oppression of Palestinians, as outrageous and criminal. This international consensus is reflected, for example, in numerous UN resolutions condemning Israel, which have been approved with overwhelming majorities. "The whole world," United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan recently said, "is demanding that Israel withdraw [from occupied Palestinian territories]. I don't think the whole world ... can be wrong." [note 1] Only in the United States do politicians and the media still fervently support Israel and its policies. For decades the US has provided Israel with crucial military, diplomatic and financial backing, including more than $3 billion each year in aid. Why is the U.S. the only remaining bastion of support for Israel? Bishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, who was awarded the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize, has candidly identified the reason: "The Israeli government is placed on a pedestal [in the US], and to criticize it is to be immediately dubbed anti-Semitic," he said. "People are scared in this country, to say wrong is wrong because the Jewish lobby is powerful -- very powerful." [note 2] Bishop Tutu spoke the truth. Although Jews make up only about three percent of the US population, they wield immense power and influence -- vastly more than any other ethnic or religious group. As Jewish author and political science professor, Benjamin Ginsberg, has pointed out: [note 3] "Since the 1960s, Jews have come to wield considerable influence in American economic, cultural, intellectual and political life. Jews played a central role in American finance during the 1980s, and they were among the chief beneficiaries of that decade's corporate mergers and reorganizations." Today, though barely two percent of the nation's population is Jewish, close to half its billionaires are Jews. The chief executive officers of the three major television networks and the four largest film studios are Jews, as are the owners of the nation's largest newspaper chain and the most influential single newspaper, the New York Times ... The role and influence of Jews in American politics is equally marked. Jews are only two percent of the nation's population yet comprise eleven percent of what this study defines as the nation's elite. However, Jews constitute more than 25 percent of the elite journalists and publishers, more than 17 percent of the leaders of important voluntary and public interest organizations, and more than 15 percent of the top ranking civil servants. Stephen Steinlight, former Director of National Affairs of the American Jewish Committee, similarly notes the "disproportionate political power" of Jews, which is "pound for pound the greatest of any ethnic/cultural group in America." He goes on to explain that "Jewish economic influence and power are disproportionately concentrated in Hollywood, television, and in the news industry." [note 4] Two well-known Jewish writers, Seymour Lipset and Earl Raab, pointed out in their 1995 book, Jews and the New American Scene: [note 5] "During the last three decades Jews [in the United States] have made up 50 percent of the top two hundred intellectuals ... 20 percent of professors at the leading universities ... 40 percent of partners in the leading law firms in New York and Washington ... 59 percent of the directors, writers, and producers of the 50 top-grossing motion pictures from 1965 to 1982, and 58 percent of directors, writers, and producers in two or more primetime television series." The influence of American Jewry in Washington, notes the Israeli daily Jerusalem Post, is "far disproportionate to the size of the community, Jewish leaders and U.S. official acknowledge. But so is the amount of money they contribute to [election] campaigns." One member of the influential Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations "estimated Jews alone had contributed 50 percent of the funds for [President Bill] Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign." [note 6] "It makes no sense at all to try to deny the reality of Jewish power and prominence in popular culture," acknowledges Michael Medved, a well-known Jewish author and film critic. "Any list of the most influential production executives at each of the major movie studios will produce a heavy majority of recognizably Jewish names." [note 7] One person who has carefully studied this subject is Jonathan J. Goldberg, now editor of the influential Jewish community weekly 'Forward.' In his 1996 book, Jewish Power, he wrote: [note 8] "In a few key sectors of the media, notably among Hollywood studio executives, Jews are so numerically dominant that calling these businesses Jewish-controlled is little more than a statistical observation ... Hollywood at the end of the twentieth century is still an industry with a pronounced ethnic tinge. Virtually all the senior executives at the major studios are Jews. Writers, producers, and to a lesser degree directors are disproportionately Jewish -- one recent study showed the figure as high as 59 percent among top-grossing films." The combined weight of so many Jews in one of America's most lucrative and important industries gives the Jews of Hollywood a great deal of political power. They are a major source of money for Democratic candidates. Reflecting their role in the American media, Jews are routinely portrayed as high-minded, altruistic, trustworthy, compassionate, and deserving of sympathy and support. While millions of Americans readily accept such stereotyped imagery, not everyone is impressed. "I am very angry with some of the Jews," complained actor Marlon Brando during a 1996 interview. "They know perfectly well what their responsibilities are ... Hollywood is run by Jews. It's owned by Jews, and they should have a greater sensitivity about the issue of people who are suffering." [note 9] A Well-Entrenched Factor The intimidating power of the "Jewish lobby" is not a new phenomenon, but has long been an important factor in American life. In 1941 Charles Lindbergh spoke about the danger of Jewish power in the media and government. The shy 39-year-old -- known around the world for his epic 1927 New York to Paris flight, the first solo trans-Atlantic crossing -- was addressing 7,000 people in Des Moines, Iowa, on September 11, 1941, about the dangers of US involvement in the war then raging in Europe. The three most important groups pressing America into war, he explained, were the British, the Jews, and the Roosevelt administration. Of the Jews, he said: "Their greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio, and our government." Lindbergh went on: "For reasons which are understandable from their viewpoint as they are inadvisable from ours, for reasons which are not American, [they] wish to involve us in the war. We cannot blame them for looking out for what they believe to be their own interests, but we must also look out for ours. We cannot allow the natural passions and prejudices of other peoples to lead our country to destruction." In 1978, Jewish American scholar Alfred M. Lilienthal wrote in his detailed study, The Zionist Connection: [note 10] "How has the Zionist will been imposed on the American people?... It is the Jewish connection, the tribal solidarity among themselves and the amazing pull on non-Jews, that has molded this unprecedented power ... In the larger metropolitan areas, the Jewish-Zionist connection thoroughly pervades affluent financial, commercial, social, entertainment, and art circles." As a result of the Jewish grip on the media, wrote Lilienthal, news coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict in American television, newspapers and magazines is relentlessly sympathetic to Israel. This is manifest, for example, in the misleading portrayal of Palestinian "terrorism." As Lilienthal put it: "One-sided reportage on terrorism, in which cause is never related to effect, was assured because the most effective component of the Jewish connection is probably that of media control." One-Sided 'Holocaust' History The Jewish hold on cultural and academic life has had a profound impact on how Americans look at the past. Nowhere is the well-entrenched Judeocentric view of history more obvious than in the "Holocaust" media campaign, which focuses on the fate of Jews in Europe during World War II. Israeli Holocaust historian Yehuda Bauer, a professor at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, has remarked: [note 11] "Whether presented authentically or inauthentically, in accordance with the historical facts or in contradiction to them, with empathy and understanding or as monumental kitsch, the Holocaust has become a ruling symbol of our culture ... Hardly a month goes by without a new TV production, a new film, a new drama, new books, prose or poetry, dealing with the subject, and the flood is increasing rather than abating." Non-Jewish suffering simply does not merit comparable attention. Overshadowed in the focus on Jewish victimization are, for example, the tens of millions of victims of America's World War II ally, Stalinist Russia, along with the tens of millions of victims of China's Maoist regime, as well as the 12 to 14 million Germans, victims of the flight and expulsion of 1944-1949, of whom some two million lost their lives. The well-financed Holocaust media and "educational" campaign is crucially important to the interests of Israel. Paula Hyman, a professor of modern Jewish history at Yale University, has observed: "With regard to Israel, the Holocaust may be used to forestall political criticism and suppress debate; it reinforces the sense of Jews as an eternally beleaguered people who can rely for their defense only upon themselves. The invocation of the suffering endured by the Jews under the Nazis often takes the place of rational argument, and is expected to convince doubters of the legitimacy of current Israeli government policy." [note 12] Norman Finkelstein, a Jewish scholar who has taught political science at City University of New York (Hunter College), says in his book, 'The Holocaust Industry,' that "invoking The Holocaust" is "a ploy to delegitimize all criticism of Jews."[note 13] "By conferring total blamelessness on Jews, the Holocaust dogma immunizes Israel and American Jewry from legitimate censure. ... Organized Jewry has exploited the Nazi holocaust to deflect criticism of Israel's and its own morally indefensible policies." He writes of the brazen "shakedown" of Germany, Switzerland and other countries by Israel and organized Jewry "to extort billions of dollars." "The Holocaust," Finkelstein predicts, "may yet turn out to be the 'greatest robbery in the history of mankind'." Jews in Israel feel free to act brutally against Arabs, writes Israeli journalist Ari Shavit, "believing with absolute certitude that now, with the White House, the Senate and much of the American media in our hands, the lives of others do not count as much as our own." [note 14] Admiral Thomas Moorer, former Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, has spoken with blunt exasperation about the Jewish-Israeli hold on the United States: [note 15] "I've never seen a President -- I don't care who he is -- stand up to them [the Israelis]. It just boggles the mind. They always get what they want. The Israelis know what is going on all the time. I got to the point where I wasn't writing anything down. If the American people understood what a grip those people have got on our government, they would rise up in arms. Our citizens certainly don't have any idea what goes on." Today, the danger is greater than ever. Israel and Jewish organizations, in collaboration with this country's pro-Zionist Christian fundamentalist "amen corner," are prodding the United States -- the world's foremost military and economic power -- into new wars against Israel's enemies. As the French ambassador in London recently acknowledged, Israel -- which he called (a quote which shocked millions -ed) "that ****ty little country" -- is a threat to world peace. "Why should the world be in danger of World War III because of those people?," he said. [note 16] In summation: Jews wield immense power and influence in the United States. The "Jewish lobby" is a decisive factor in US support for Israel. Jewish-Zionist interests are not identical to American interests. In fact, they often conflict. As long as the "very powerful" Jewish lobby remains entrenched, there will be no end to the systematic Jewish-Zionist distortion of current affairs and history, the Jewish-Zionist domination of the U.S. political system, Zionist oppression of Palestinians, the bloody conflict between Jews and non-Jews in the Middle East, and the Israeli threat to peace.

    Answer:
    It's right for Israel, and that's all that matters. As we speak, European/Russian Jews build luxury villas on occupied Palestinian land at the expense of the US tax payer.

    This is not a reality show… this is reality!?
    Question:
    Any and all help appreciated. Hello to all, I am a single father, raising my daughter on my own for several years since the passing of her mother. Of course I am no different than many others in this similar situation, “trying to make ends meet”. America is certainly the land of “opportunity, innovation and fresh ideas” and now amid a terrible economy to slug our way through, we are all now having to find the new trends, new directions and new beginnings. For some, with plenty of capitol under their belts, the times are not so bad. But, for the rest of us it is constant uneasiness and fear of whether things are going to get better soon or worse? I am tired of watching ordinary Americans, myself included, experience the economic highs and lows that make our lives so unstable and unpredictable! I for one have worked dam hard throughout my life only to watch someones relative or an incompetent boob advance on by me. Of course that is not true in all cases, but it is true enough to where we notice it. Don’t get me wrong, there are people with success that are deserving of the life they have built, but where I see flaws in our society today is the lack of true opportunities being given back to others that are deserving and have worked hard, so that in-turn those folks can give back to others. For so many of us ordinary, hardworking Americans who try to create better lives for ourselves we find the road blocks put up in our way by Corp Execs, Financial Institutions and Government. So you are probably saying “that’s true, but what’s your point”. Well, here it is… I have seen for years the most worthless people climb the “corporate ladder” while hard working people (like myself) slug my guts out and rarely get ahead or have anything long term or invested to show for it. It’s time for all of us out there who can relate to this to “have our cake and eat it too”! I respectfully ask all that read this and can relate or understand to help me in any way large or small. I am tired of working for others that just don’t “give back” to those that deserve it, really deserve it! So I am starting a movement of sorts which I am calling “true opportunities”. I am looking to start my own business and I need your help. I want to build a business to create independence for myself and in turn give back to others by creating jobs and opportunities to hard working Americans that usually don’t get “true opportunities”. I want to help real-hard working Americans find the success and security they deserve. NO! I am not trying to sell some “get rich quick” scheme or some elaborate scam. My vision is to create a multiple of businesses that true give opportunities to hard working people, without any prerequisites or conditions to meet. I am looking to build a network of business’ that span as many fields as possible and with this be able to open doors for people to careers they truly will love doing and be happy with. Of course we all would love to do things that maybe we are just not capable of doing but that does not mean we cannot still find something within our interests that we could love doing and be happy at and enjoy! Also, who’s to say we can’t change our minds from time to time? Well all that would certainly be a part of my network, in which one could apply for re-education towards a different career path and financial help would be granted as well as the career when the re-education period has ended. I know that one person can most likely NOT help everyone, but maybe my efforts and the example I will set will help others follow in my footsteps and create a chain reaction throughout the business world. I simply believe that there is not enough being done today, in our society, to offer true opportunities to good hardworking people. I believe business’ can and should afford to give back to its employees like they used to do, with insurance, promotions from within, continuing education, retirement. All these things are for sure, “investments into your employees”. Their happiness and security is essential for a great and productive work environment and the more a company invests into its employees, the more a business will grow. In my opinion, I feel the biggest problem with many companies today is that they do the opposite of what I have just stated and in effect handicap their own ability to grow! So without further ado…I would like to ask for any and all support in realizing the dream I have set forth in this letter. I of course need money to start up my campaign. I respectfully ask for help in this regard from anyone out there who has read this, believes this, understands this and can relate to what I have said! My name is John, my campaign is “True Opportunities”. As a product of this campaign every business I create from these efforts will bear the trade mark logo “TRUE OPPORTUNITIES” in its name for all to recognize and appreciate. For all that feel as I do, please send any donation $ you can afford to John @ P.O. Box 308 Addison, Illinois 60101. Every little bit helps and helps me to get started in this dream.

    Answer:
    John, welcome to america.....this violates TOS on a few levels. Things like this are typical of your complaint but good luck finding people sending you money
