I am looking for a 2 bedroom apt or townhoume in Raleigh,NC, but my credit is poor, can someone help?
I am trying to move this month, personal reasons. I have been turned down twice from rental agencies already. I do plan to work on my credit, but I need to move 1st. I prefer north Raleigh area. I have 3 children, no pets. If anyone knows a place that I could rent, apt, townhome, or a single family home, my payment range is 650 to 750 a month, I would greatly appreciate it.

Sorry, I don't have a place for you to rent, but I want to suggest you work directly with the landlords rather than the Rental Agencies. Rental Agencies are paid to rent to the best tenant. If you have bad credit, they probably wouldn't even bother the landlord to make the call. Good Luck!

I was working in Raleigh, NC. The company has less than 15 employees so EEOC can't help me. I am a single mom with 2 kids and my elderly mother lives with me and they depend on me for income. I am still sick 2 weeks after quitting. Who can help?

IF it is not illegal to smoke in the office in your state, there is not much you can do other than writing a letter to the home office. Assuming there is one. Good luck

NC is a pro tobacco state I doubt if you going to find any help NC has had $Billiions in taxpayer handouts to grow tobacco If the Company was Federal/State/Parish dept you might be able to squak
6 :
I have to assume that you are now either drawing unemployment benefits or looking for another job or perhaps both. In the future, during the job interview, be sure to ask what the company policy is in regards to smoking. If the company you are interviewing for allows smoking, simply look elsewhere for employment. If they do not it will probably be a plus for you when they are looking to hire.
7 :
You would have to be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that their cigarette smoking around you alone is what has caused you to fall ill which would be almost impossible. I would say to make sure to find a smoke free workplace from now on. As hard as it makes it for others, everyone has rights and the right to smoke cigarettes in a place the law does not forbid them is one of them. As far as legal action i couldn't possibly see anything happening there mainly because since they weren't breaking any state laws by it, you would actually be the one responsible by not removing your self from the situation.

I got a job offer & it's really good but it's so far away and I'd rather work closer to Raleigh than out in Sanford. How can I turn it down without getting on a bad foot with the staffing company? Should I go on the interview anyways even if I am not that interested?

Just politely tell them that you're flattered at the offer but you aren't looking for a commute that's that long. Be honest and polite and it will be no big deal. Also, you might want to tell your staffing company what a reasonable commute for you would be so they can narrow their search.
2 :
tell them u owe someone money in sanford and they might find u and kill u if u go there
3 :
Brak could just eat them?
4 :
i would love to take the job however the distance is an issue
5 :
just tell the staffing company that it is a lovely job offer but it is too far away for you to reasonably consider. you should not be expected to have to move house or leave your family or community for a temporary position. besides that, with today's economy and fuel prices, it is not feasible to drive to someplace that far away.

Austin, Texas. North Carolina is crazy. I'm dying to move and get out.
2 :

NC is better environment but more stuff to do in Austin
4 :
It really depends on what you want your kids to be exposed to. Austin is the most liberal city in Texas and Raleigh is actually one of the more conservative cities, but that is your call.
5 :
It depends on what you're looking for. North Carolina is one of the most politically liberal Southern states, though that doesn't exactly make it liberal compared to the rest of the country. If you decide on NC, I would go for a private school. Public schools are kind of hit-or-miss around here. In-state college tuition will save you a bundle though, and there are a lot of great Universities around here - UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke, Wake Forest, NC State, NC Central, and Shaw, just to name a few. I live near Chapel Hill and I love it. It's an artsy community and lots of great companies that will set you up in fruitful careers. I don't know anything about Austin, but I don't think NC is a bad choice at all.
6 :
Austin, if you can stand the hippies and the enviro-wackos. North of Austin is Round Rock (home of Dell Computer) and more conservative. I've been to the Raleigh-Durham area and it was a very nice, SMALL place to visit, but they also have Chapel Hill... brrrrrr.
7 :
They both are known for having great academic institutions. If you happen to be a fan of music, Austin will seem to be more happening to you. I believe weather wise Austin has more hot days than Raleigh. I all comes down to your personal preferences but they both are great places to be.

About raleigh venture 3.0 vs trek 7100

raleigh venture 3.0 vs trek 7100?
Im basically looking for a bike to get around town, ride on light trails, and ride for recreation. Riding around town would only be about 10-15 miles each way. Trails would only be 5 miles each way (and probably only on weekends) and recreation would be around 20-25 miles each way. I dont have thousands of dollars to spend, so im looking for the best bang for my buck ((In terms of quality and comfort)) The 2 i was looking at are the raleigh venture 3.0 ((for $389)) and the trek 7100 ((for $439)) For what im going to use it for, what would be the better bike? If they raleigh would work for my purpose, than that would be great because then i can save some money, but i dont want to get it and find out its not going to be easy/comfortable to ride it 25 miles at a time any other bike suggestions are also welcome
Cycling - 3 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Either bike would serve your purpose. They are both hybrid or comfort bikes with the same 28/38/48 crankset up front and the same Shimano MF-TZ31 7spd MegaRange (14-34t) gears in the rear. The main difference is, the Raleigh uses more conventional 26" tires and the Trek uses 700 x 35c tires - taller & thinner for more road speed. However...if it were me, I would step up to either the Raleigh Venture 4.0 or a Raleigh Route 4.0. Price - $450 & $460 respectively. Why? Because these bikes use a "freehub" and cassette on the rear wheel - not a "freewheel" hub. Plus double walled rims. This will be your STRONGEST wheel/hub set-up. It will take more use, abuse & last longer. See 3rd link explaining the difference. I know...I've been through it being over-weight. It may be OK if you're on the lighter side. But for a large person (like myself) the only way to go is the better bicycles.
2 :
I would check all of the local bike shops and see what they have. You really don't need shocks for the riding you want to do. The just add weight and eat up energy when climbing hills. I would look at the Raleigh Detour 4.5 about the same as the venture but without shocks. The Trek FX instead of the 7000 series.
3 :
The Trek 7100 is a good all round bike. Cycled from Vienna to Budapest on one and had no problems at all with the bike. Definitely recommend it for the general enthusiast. If you want to do some serious biking then you might want to spend some more and get something lighter and better, but as an all rounder it's spot on.

Raleigh's a fine place and I think you'll do fine here. Locationwise, the closer you are to downtown the better. Raleigh's sort of the opposite of most cities....the traffic is actually worst on the fringes while it's better near the city core. No matter where your job is, if you start close to downtown, your commute will be better. Also, the neighborhoods are nicer whereas in the suburbs, neighborhoods were built fast and cheap using inferior methods & materials. Schools in the heart of Raleigh are also much better than most of the suburbs. If you can live inside the I-440 loop (called "Inside the Beltline") you'll be better off.
3 :
You are making a great decision. Although Austin is doing better economically, Raleigh still has lots of jobs, family friendly neighborhoods, great school systems, and lots of shopping. Both Austin & Raleigh are the state capitals and have lots of great qualities. Raleigh is closer to the Atlantic Ocean. Many people here go to the beaches on North Carolina's coast as well as the Myrtle Beach area. Crime is relatively low here compared to most cities. Coming from Washington, DC, I notice that Raleigh is significantly safer than the DC area. Rob1977nc is right about Central Raleigh. The best place to work is downtown and traffic isn't really that bad inside the beltline. Most commuters travel towards RTP and Durham for work. I personally would pick the suburbs like Cary, Garner, Apex, or Holly Springs. You could also live east of Raleigh in Knightdale or Wendell for a less crowded suburban area.

I think you mean NC 54, not US 54. NC 54, between Chapel Hill/Carrboro and Graham/Burlington, is mostly a 2-lane country road. I-40 is several lanes each direction. Not much commuting goes on between Graham/Burlington and Chapel Hill....and the little that occurs is mostly people who live in Burlington who work in Chapel Hill. So your husband will actually be going the opposite of most of the traffic.

Granted, state government usually doesn't pay as much as the private sector.

Cary is about 10-15 minutes from Raleigh and was voted one of the best places to live a few years ago. The crime rate is extremely low and there's plenty of shopping in Cary. Garner is 10-15 minutes from Raleigh and has also grown.

    I need help planning which airlines to take for my European vacation?
    November 2011, I'm going to Europe and here is how it will work Raleigh/Durham - London, England London, England - Berlin, Germany Berlin, Germany - Naples, Italy Naples, Italy - Raleigh/Durham What is the cheapest airline? I'm just starting to plan on my trip and expedia sucks. Thank you in advance It doesn't matter which airport. That's why I didn't give the airport codes. I want to go with whatever is cheapest Rolla Fan- It would also have been nice if you gave me all the websites that you used. Thanks. 
    Air Travel - 4 Answers
    Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
    1 :Cheaper option is this, a return Raleigh- London,London Raleigh, then the middle bit i am sure a budget airline within Europe, Easyjet for example will cover the Europe leg of your journey, most countries have their own low cost carrier.

    2 :Hey, at least you could provide us with some airport codes of the destinations which you desire to travel... Anyways, airport codes are Raleigh/Durham (RDU) London, England (I'm guessing you mean Heathrow, which is LHR) Berlin, Germany (Tegel - TXL) Naples, Italy (NAP) From RDU to LHR, it costs about $850 with 2 stops. LHR to TXL, it's $100 TOPS, because of short distance TXL to NAP, it's about $450, using Brussel airline NAP to RDU, it's about $1600, with 2 stops. So, you will end up spending anywhere between $3000 ~ $5000 depending on which website you look into. Make sure you double check with the airlines' website as they do have the lowest fare quite often than the third party websites such as Expedia. Also, I would like to advise you to take advantage of having mileage membership (particularly Star Alliance, which is an enrollment mileage program for various airlines) and you will end up flying with many other lines due to the fact that you are looking for the cheapest option and it will drag you down quite easily...
    3 :Best way on Expedia is to book it as a multi-leg trip. The airline I would look closely at would be US Airways, Continental, Delta, and American Airlines. Also I suspect if you want to do this as cheap as possible then you may want to consider flying out of Rome or Milan instead of Naples. Along with that consideration you may want to look at taking the train or bus between Berlin and Naples due to the fact there may be limited flight service between the two cities. With that said, there are a few options from London to Berlin such as British Airways, Lufthansa, Easy Jet, and Air Berlin. The latter two are budget airlines that typically do not show up on websites like Expedia. Then from Berlin to Naples the most likely you will need to consider Lufthansa or Air Berlin.
    4 :I would actually go to a travel agent and see what kind of pricing they can get you for this trip. Another suggestion I have is that I know American Airlines has a non-stop flight from Raleigh/Durham to London. I would see if Air Berlin does London to Berlin and onto Naples. If you can buy a round-trip ticket on Air Berlin from London to Naples and do a stopover in Berlin, the ticket should not be too much more. Then you can fly American back from London to Raleigh/Durham.

    I work in a female unit of 50 women. I am not an Officer, but i work with the Officers. Being a correctional officer is no easy task, wherever you work. Your safety is a concern. There are some very dangerous, violent people who will resent you for breathing. Wear gloves!!! Lots of STDs , HIV , Hepatitis C etc. Make sure your hep. shots are up to date. I am kind to them , but I never trust them or turn my back. Some Officers are abusive and demeaning. They have the most problems. You'll have to choose your style.

    I worked for 23 years in the New York State Department of Correctional Services. My first posting was at Sing-Sing-Prison a Maximum Security prison. We had 1,800 inmates in 1970. The most dangerous time is usually meal time. There were three mess halls which accommodated the entire population except for the Special Housing unit. The Death House was closed at that time. We had inmate head counts about six per tour of duty. We broke up fights, responded to large disturbances, wrote reports etc. There was a riot in the yard. It started at 11:00am. We got out of work at 11:00pm that night after frisking not only the inmates but the housing units as well. September 1971, responded to Attica Prison Riot. 43 people were killed. I then transferred to Downstate C.F. which was reception and classification. I made Sergeant after 7 years at Sing-Sing. Worked at Downstate for a number of years as Asst. Watch Commander then was promoted to Lieutenant and transferred up state near the Canadian Border. I was Watch Commander, Disciplinary Lieutenant, and did investigations of Correction Officers who violated established rules and regulations of the department. I met some very good friends in the Department. I retired in 1993. My education was college. My son is a Police Detective in New York.

    About I am visiting Durham/Raleigh for work and I'll have two nights to hang out... Where should I go/see


    I am visiting Durham/Raleigh for work and I'll have two nights to hang out... Where should I go/see?
    I am visiting from soCal for work with two nights to explore, and I was wondering what there is to do/see in Durham/Raleigh area accessible in the evening? food, bars, nightlife, historic landmarks, etc. This may seem silly, but is it "safe" to walk around at night in the Durham/Raleigh area or are there areas I should avoid?

    Fast food. That's about it.... or maybe even be a camp counselor.

    Screw the fast food, camp counselor, and newspaper seller jobs. Here's what you need to do. Do a SWOT analysis of yourself. This means find you strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities, and then ways to convert your weaknesses into strengths and your threats into opportunities. Finally, find ways to match your strengths to your opportunities and vice versa. Once you've done that, find an industry that is relatively easy to get into and stay put and start up. (So, no airline companies, no interstate trucking, no joint ventures with Chinese maritime freighters, and no piracy). When you have found one (it should have something to do with the internet for your age), write a business plan and have it checked by a SCORE counselor from the Small Business Administration, which is usually gotten for free. If they need a fee, then give them a promissory note and promise to pay them when you break even. Don't forget your promis, ever. When you have finalized your business plan, send it to a bank and that way you can get startup capital, known as seed money, and also to computer stores and office supplies stores, and this way you can get your stuff in place. From here on out, develop your business, get clientele, and develop your core competencies. When you have made a sizable profit, pay off your debts and you are in business, partner! (Don't forget to keep records or the IRS will be a pain in the neck to you.) Just keep at your business until you make millions of dollars, at which you can sell it, or hire more workers. Don't forget your classmates who are still looking for a job. It takes a while, but you end up a millionaire and a confident young entreprneur. If you set up the business right, you can even call yourself CEO. Just remember to fire Catbert when he gets annoying...
