Dwayne Said:

Possibility of getting into these Graduate Programs?

We Answered:

Chatham will not likely be a problem. I recommend them highly. My daughter got her undergrad degrees there and has bone on to great success since. She starts her PhD in Civil Engineering with a full ride.

Chatham is really good as it is a small school and you will get far more individual attention. Some of my daughter's classes had as few as 5 students. Interaction with the professors is assured. You will not be just another number. My daughter considers Dr. Lott there as much a friend as a prof.

Chatham also has a nice country retreat as they own a farm near Pittsburgh with a very nice guest facility. And while there you can also cross register to take classes at Pitt, CMU, Carlow and Duquesne for no extra charge.

My wife hasfiled a case under DV act . Please suggest?

We Answered:

Financial Compensation of Rs15 Lakhs she claim will fail in the court since she herself left the Phd in between & email sent to your wife asking her the cause of not joining the institute from her PhD guide is good piece of evidence against her, along with the cancellation of Air Tickets while your returning back to Germany,her refusal to accompany you on flimsy grounds.

As far the monthly maintenance is concerned that will be decided considering the actual income of both the parties & capacity of earning, hence her claim of Rs15000/- may be only providing about 1/3 or 1/4 of what she claimed.

You can send Power of Attorney in favour of some close relative along with Vakaltnamma for the lawyer to attend the court proceedings under the Act & since the claim she has made are monetary only which is nothing more then civil relief in the court, proceedings can be done in your absence too. The court can allow your personal exemption from appearence in the court proceedings & order your presence at the time of recording your evidence, considering the situation you are at the moment.

The divorce on the ground of cruelty can be filled provided you can prove with sufficient evidence the metal harassment caused to you by her behavior was good enough to break your matrimonial home completely.

If you are not sure of her previous affairs or present extra-marital affair,then don't bring that issue in matrimonial cases, this allegation can go against you.

The outcome of this marriage is dissolution which may happen now or in future by unilateral divorce proceedings or mutual consent after settling the Permanent Alimony between the parties.

How can I convince my parents (especially my dad) that I should go to college?

We Answered:

You can get scholarships that aren't based off grades. Since your parents aren't behind you your FAFSA(something you have to fill out for all colleges) will help you greatly. The poorer you are the better and w/o the help of rents it get better. the FAFSA determine how much you should pay for college based on you living situations. My friends parents didn't want her to go and she only had to pay for about $2,000 dollars of her tuition. So you can do this on your own.

How can I meet American men who are looking to marry foreign women?

We Answered:

Hi there.

Singapore, a rich country... YES. Very true. Rich, organized and many Westerners would love to live in your country, I'm one of them! lol! It's really beautiful place.

You're an Asian girl, you would have lot of success on a dating site. But not any dating site. Let me advice you how to find the right guy.

You need a dating site related to Asians, but where Western men surf, looking for an Asian wife. Here, there is a big stereotype... Many think that an Asian woman is a golddigger, and many think a Western man is looking for a submissive or sex slave Asian woman. I have enough experience in life and traveling, graduated in social studies and I have Western male friends who usually talk to me about their preferences in Asian or oriental women as well.

The first thing I want to say is that many of them like Asian woman because of the dark hair, white skin and cute eyes, and the different culture, which is so rich and beautiful (I'm European woman who loves Asian culture and find Asian men very attractive myself, lol).

If you want to find a Western man, especially British or American, then I know on which site to surf.

There is an Asian site created by Americans themselves, where all Asian women (and men) seek partners from abroad. Tons of Western men are registered on the site and are looking for women like you. I have a Scottish friend who married a woman from Singapore, he met her on the Asian website that I'm talking about. He is going to join her in two months, he's preparing himself, he's got a serious business in the UK and will move to Singapore to live with his wife. I met her last year, she's a beautiful woman, she's younger by 15years than him, and they are very happy together. He's going to live there, and he even said he may try to open a business branch there, maybe. So, they are very fine, and it's perfect in my opinion, as long as they get well and they are attracted, why not?

I'd recommend the site to you, and I wish you good luck!

Okay all you Obamanites, and anyone else, what do you think of this?

We Answered:

There's been some discrepancies about the goat herder thing too. Did you know that he feels or felt (he may have changed his mind now) this way about 'whites'?

In his first memoir, “Dreams from My Father,” Obama wrote:

“I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites,”

Although Obama spent various portions of his youth living with his white maternal grandfather and Indonesian stepfather, he vowed that he would “never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.”

Obama wrote that in high school, he and a black friend would sometimes speak disparagingly “about white folks this or white folks that, and I would suddenly remember my mother's smile, and the words that I spoke would seem awkward and false.”

As a result, he concluded that “certain whites could be excluded from the general category of our distrust.”

During college, Obama disapproved of what he called other “half-breeds” who gravitated toward whites instead of blacks. And yet after college, he once fell in love with a white woman, only to push her away when he concluded he would have to assimilate into her world, not the other way around. He later married a black woman.

Such candid racial revelations abound in “Dreams,” which was first published in 1995, when Obama was 34 and not yet in politics. By the time he ran for his Senate seat in 2004, he observed of that first memoir: “Certain passages have proven to be inconvenient politically.”

Thus, in his second memoir, “The Audacity of Hope,” which was published last year, Obama adopted a more conciliatory, even upbeat tone when discussing race. Noting his multiracial family, he wrote in the new book: “I’ve never had the option of restricting my loyalties on the basis of race, or measuring my worth on the basis of tribe.”

This appears to contradict certain passages in his first memoir, including a description of black student life at Occidental College in Los Angeles.

“There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.”

He added: “To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.”

Obama said he and other blacks were careful not to second-guess their own racial identity in front of whites.

After graduating from college, Obama eventually went to Chicago to interview for a job as a community organizer. His racial attitudes came into play as he sized up the man who would become his boss.

“There was something about him that made me wary,” Obama wrote. “A little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.”
