[HANASHIR:8995] Re: Off the topic

[Meris Ruzow <meris...>]

Folks, Please excuse the subject for this posting.   But my family is in
need of some help and I thought perhaps one of you could send me in the
right direction.    My nephew is just about to receive his masters in
American Jewish History from Brandeis.  He is looking to relocate to nyc and
of course needs a job.    If any of you are in fields other than music, or
know of an organization, school or university where he could perhaps apply
(for what I'm not sure........) I would greatly appreciate any advice.   He
is VERY knowledgeable in this field, but has no teaching experience per se.
I'm thinking maybe curriculum writing?   Something at the university level?
Anything you can offer in way of a direction to go or a field to look into
would be greatly appreciated.
Kol tuv,
Meris Ruzow

Subject: [HANASHIR:8917] Re: purchases online


I have ordered a lot online. My general recommendation is to comparison shop
for what you want and read reviews and comments.  I often go to
pricegrabber.com to compare prices. here are some other web sites I like. If
you buy a name product, then usually there is a manufacturer's warrenty.
Once
you find what you want, try a name brand store like circuit city to see if
they have the merchandise. Sometimes you can do better online than if you
went to the malls. Also try a general search for what you want. Shipping
varies, but often there is no sales tax, so you can find a happy medium.
Here
is a list of bookmarked sites where  I  go when seeking prices, information,
