Italian Translation needed! Without the use of online translators?

I need to figure out how to say following in the simplest form without the use of an online translator:

When I was three years old, I wanted to be an ice-cream man. I thought I could have all the free ice-cream in the world. When I was about 8 years old, I decided that I wanted to be a lawyer or a psychiatrist because they made a lot of money. When I was old enough to work, I started working in an office as a secretary. I had many jobs since then. At my last job I was the boss in an office. I quit working there and moved to Santa Cruz to go back to college.

Now I am a senior and I will be graduating next week. It took 11 years to finish, but I am finally doing it. My friends, my husband’s mom and dad and my dad are coming to see me and we will all go out to dinner. My mother is very ill and cannot come which makes me sad. I will be the first one in my family with a college degree.

During the summer I will be traveling to Europe for my vacation and for a wedding in Italy. After summer I will be moving to San Francisco with my husband and a friend. I want to go back to school and earn my master’s degree, but not in theater. I would like to work as a therapist for couples and their problems.

what would you choose on this case i need advice?

I’m 18, and i’m tired of living with my parents so i’m moving out. I also miss my old city back in san francisco. I make $4200 a month, and i already own my car.

What would you do?

1. Rent your own apartment $1300?

or

2. Rent a room and share a luxury condo with a roommate she’s 30 and a professional so no prob and it’s in downtown sf with great views (pool, jacuzzi, gym, home theater and security 24/7) $1500?

Does my male friend of 4 years have an interest in me? How deep does he care about me?

I have a friend that I met initially by walking into his dept. store when I worked at the other establishment on the opposite side of town. He noticed me before I noticed him kind of thing, 3 1/2-4 years back. I knew a friend of mine who worked at the same dept. store as “M” did, and asked him to get the opinion of “M” about me. “M” said he wanted to take things slow and see where things go. Soon after wards I graduated from high school and had professional photos taken. I gave him a few of them; later finding out this whole time and up until this day he has all my graduation photos still in his wallet. A little odd if we are just friends correct?

We have gone to San Francisco a couple times by car, and Reno as well. Just last year I was over at his house and watching some music videos. He was a little tipsy but I was completely sober. He started dancing and then grinding when he was dancing, he later sat me on his bed and kissed me, and tried to do more. I told him no because he was drunk. Is it true that alcohol tells no lies?

Earlier this year, “M” invited me to the store but I politely said, “No thanks, I’m good” because I was talking to his sister. “Come on Jackie, let’s go!” “No M, I’m good, I’m comfy and I’m having a good conversation right now.” “Are you coming or not?” “No thanks,” His sister noticed he wasn’t too happy at the time but I was like okay, but why? Thinking he’ll get over it sooner or later. He came back from the store, but not really talking to me. This summer his mom was in living room, we were all sitting down and she pretty much ratted out “M”. Explaining about the store incident where I didn’t go that one time. After I had left that night, he told his mom how upset he was that I didn’t go with him, and later crying about it. He was like, “Mom stop! She didn’t need to know it. It’s in the past. She didn’t need to know!” His mom always says, “M, stop lying! You love Jackie. Jackie stop lying, you love my son. Y’all make a cute couple. You said it yourself “M” before about how Jackie is the only one who cares and loves you. The girl needs to know! He don’t be looking or talking to no one else.” He always gets embarrassed, smiling at the same time.

Then once again a few weeks back I went over for a quick visit and right when I walked in the door he did the same thing, grinding on me, dancing on me…all that crazy stuff.

And just recently while at the movie theater watching Avatar, with my right leg propped up from an injury at work, and my left one bent at the knee in front of me. “M” whispers in my left ear, “Dang, looks like you’re going into labor.” Now what does child labor have to do with Avatar? Makes no sense!

His mom from pretty much from day one has called me her daughter-in-law, and how she wishes I would have a child with her son. Also whenever he gets into an argument with his parents, M says, “Well I’ll just go move in with Jackie!” His mother’s response, “I’ll help you pack!” And he denies ever saying that, but his mom says otherwise.

But, after all we are just friends. What do you think is going on with his mind? Greatly appreciate your thoughts and opinions!!!
And yes, I have asked him out every year except this year because he kept shooting me down. “We are only friends. You deserve a guy so much better than me, why me?” he would ask in the past.

And oh yeah, I am a student pilot and working at the airport for an airline temp. A year ago, he thought I was crazy for working around aircraft, now he just got hired on and wants to work the same shifts as me and wants to work close to me gate wise. And always on a lunch or break he will stop by my ticket counter and hangout or ask when do I get a break. Do I want something to eat/drink as well. Everyday he asks me if I’m working or not.

Talent show ideas for a beauty pageant?

Hi,
I am entering a beauty pageant and they have asked me to do something which should atleast last for 3-4 minutes for the talent part. Yikes, i am freaking out! I have done dance and sung in school theater with a group but never alone on the stage! Plus, I really dont think I can sing solo, since i can get pretty off-key! All I do these days is study which leaves pretty little time for anything else, 17 units load and Chem is pretty exhausting!

I am not afraid of being on the stage, I just dont know what I can do for the talent show part. Is there someone out in the Bay area or even in San Francisco that can coach?

Some of the other girls are dancing, singing, doing a monologue, I can’t think of anything. I reaallly realllyyy wanna do well in this show since the prizes are amazing.

Any ideas for what I can do….PLEASE Help.

What are my odds of getting into a Claremont?

I’m going to be a senior in high school next year, and Pitzer College is my dream school. I toured it last spring and fell completely in love with it, but the Claremonts are ridiculously hard to get in to – Pitzer’s acceptance rate is less than 25%. Can anyone who works in admissions or who got accepted into a Claremont let me know if I stand a chance?

I have a 3.84 cumulative GPA.

I scored 2070 on my SAT (760 reading, 720 writing, 590 math)

I got a 4 on the AP World History test and 5′s on the AP English Language & Composition and the AP U.S. History tests.

I’m taking five AP classes next year (French, Calculus AB, English Literature, Biology, and Economics).

I’m active in my Youth Group and go on mission trips every summer to build houses on an Indian Reservation and every fall to hand out homeless kits and work in the food bank in San Francisco.

I’ve played softball for the past three years and plan on playing it my senior year.

I was in the fall play last year and I’m planning on doing it again this fall.

I work in the nursery at my church every Sunday.

I’m currently working at the box office at a movie theater.

Do I stand a chance? I feel like my GPA and my SAT math score aren’t high enough to get in…

I need ideas on what I should do for the talent part of a beauty pageant?

Male friend of 4 years…does his actions speak an interest of more than friends?

I have a friend that I met initially by walking into his dept. store when I worked at the other one at opposite side of town. He noticed me before I noticed him kind of thing, 31/2-4 years back. I knew a friend of mine who worked at the same dept. store as “M” did, and asked him to get the opinion of “M” about me. “M” said he wanted to take things slow and see where things go.

The World’s Best Orchestras?

A recent poll of music critics in Europe and North America asked for recommendations for a league table of the world’s best orchestras. The result is below. While I abhore this sort of meaningless comparison, I thought it might be interesting to get others’ opinions on who they thought might be missing from the list and who is on the list that they wouldn’t include.

It was also interesting that not a single chamber or period-instrument orchestra was mentioned – even though there are many stunningly good ones. Shame on the critics for completely ignoring them!

1. Concertgebouw Orchestra, Amsterdam
2. Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra
3. Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra
4. London Symphony Orchestra
5. Chicago Symphony Orchestra
6. Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra
7. Cleveland Orchestra
8. Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra
9. Budapest Festival Orchestra
10. Dresden Staatskapelle
11. Boston Symphony Orchestra
12. New York Philharmonic Orchestra
13. San Francisco Symphony Orchestra
14. Mariinsky (Kirov) Theatre Orchestra
15. Russian National Orchestra
16. St Petersburg Phillharmonic
17. Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra
18. Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, New York
19. Saito Kinen Symphony Orchestra, Japan
20. Czech Philharmonic Orchestra

On my part, some glaring omissions (although I would never try to put them in order!) include:

Australian Chamber Orchestra
BBC Symphony Orchestra
European Union Youth Orchestra
Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (there isn’t a single orchestra from the southern heimisphere in the list)
Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment (London)
Philharmonia Orchestra (London)
Royal Danish Orchestra, Copenhagen
St Paul Chamber Orchestra
Swedish Chamber Orchestra
Tonhalle Orchestra, Zurich
Toronto Symphony Orchestra

Incidentally, Y!A’s prompt as to which category this question should be posted was “Food and Drink: Beer, wine and spirits”
Wow! some swift responses. I feel I can now add some of my views on those additions some of you have suggested:

The English Chamber Orchestra – actually created to be a recording orchestra (as was the Philharmonia, actually) is possibly the best-known chamber orchestra on the planet. However, as a ‘live’ ensemble they are less impressive – somewhast boring to my biased ears.
I concur with those that mentioned the revitalised Hallé. Mark Elder was undervalued for too many years, I have to say. I’m still not sure if they should be on a list of the ‘top 20′ in the world. And should they be there in preference to, say, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra?
I agree that there are too many American orchestras for a world list, although I too am surprised to see the LA Phil and San Francisco orchestras on the list instead of the still fabulous Philadelphians. I would add Montreal to my original list (perhaps in preference to Toronto).
Stefan K is right to put in a bid for the Simón Bolivar Youth Orchestra in Venezuela – especially if one considers what the value of the orchestra is within that country (or continent) as a whole. It knocks the socks off most others on the list in that respect.

I would say that neither the London Philharmonic nor the Royal Philharmonic are currently in the world top 20 (not even among the best in the UK!). The Royal Scottish National Orchestra would outplay them any day. And Malcolm, I should have included the Scottish Chamber Orchestra – they are one of the best in the world of ANY kind.

However, I have to take issue with Malcolm’s Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. Oh dear, of dear. One of the dangers of playing without a conductor is that 1) you have to play ‘safe’ and 2) you play like a committee. I find the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra one of the dullest orchestras I have ever heard. They can even make Prokofiev’s Classical Symphony sound boring!

I’ll be back later …
As the answers seem to have dried up now, I shall conclude and then try to pick a best answer (difficult!). Thank you all for your contributions. I’m glad I didn’t let this slip into the public vote this time!

It would seem that a general consensus (coloured by my own opinion, of course!) might be:
Orchestras on the list that don’t deserve to be there:
Saito Kinen Orchestra
Budapest Festival Orchestra (yes, it’s a pick-up band but so are the big 4 London orchestras!)
Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra
San Francisco Symphony Orchestra
Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra

I would suggest the four to replace them should be:
Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
Montreal Symphony Orchestra
Philadelphia Orchestra
Philharmonia Orchestran (London)
Simón Bolivar Youth Orchestra (for their amazing work and inspiration)

Stefan K: sorry I didn’t find room for some of your excellent suggestions. Maybe I’ll post a question about the best ‘non-symphony’ orchestras. That might be interesting.

is it tough being on your own ?? does anyone has any experience moving out from parents ?

Has anyone got an original “free frame of reference”?

Or a picture of one? Here’s a link to give you a general idea: http://www.667shotwell.com/Projects/2004/Itcanchange/install/freeframechris.jpg

These wooden frames were created in San Francisco in the late 1960s by the “Diggers”, a group of artists and radicals, including the actor Peter Coyote.

The original “free frame of reference” was a twelve-foot-square free-standing frame painted yellow, through which people were invited to pass.

There were also miniature frames about 2 in X 2 in, which could be worn around the neck. The idea was to get people to think differently about society and politics by giving them a new [metaphorical] frame of reference.

To enlighten you further, here’s a link to Coyote’s online ‘partial history’ of the Diggers’ activities: http://www.diggers.org/guerrilla_theater.htm

Victorian Props/Back Drop/Wall Mural?

Hi Everyone,

I would like a mural (for lack of a better term) for a 12 foot wall in my home. I want it to be of a row Victorian houses–ideally the painted ladies of Steiner Street in San Francisco, and again, ideally, I would like it to be made out of wood like a facade.That may sound weird, but I have seen one such mural, and it is fabulous. I found out the person who made it did it himself, but he is unable to be located.

Where would I even begin to look to find something similar? I have seen photograph wall murals, but that’s not really what I want. Maybe a theater prop making place? I would appreciate any ideas.

Thanks!

When will the next Presidential Election be that ends in Zero?

I tried to figure this out but I am lousy in math~duh?
here are some of the past presidents of the US that ended in Zero
(but I am good at copy and paste) and spell check

here goes boys and girls and all you kids and math wizards
ten points to the swiftest and fastest man, women or child~~
People whispered for many years that U.S. presidents elected in years ending with “0″ were doomed to die in office. From 1840 through 1960, every president elected in the 20-year cycle died while he was still president. (Some called this “The Curse of Tecumseh,” after the Shawnee chieftain whose brother allegedly predicted the presidential doom in 1836.)

Ronald Reagan finally broke the “curse” by serving two full terms as president before stepping down in 1989 — though he had to survive a 1981 assassination attempt to do so.

Here’s the full roll call of 0-year presidents through George W. Bush:

1800: THOMAS JEFFERSON served two full terms, 1801-1809.

1820: JAMES MONROE served two full terms, 1817-1825.

1840: WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON was 68 years old when he delivered his inaugural address on March 3, 1841. The speech was a stemwinder, lasting an hour and 40 minutes in frigid weather, with Harrison refusing to wear a coat or hat. The new president came down with a cold which rapidly developed into pneumonia. Harrison was bedridden for a month and finally died on April 4.

1860: ABRAHAM LINCOLN was just beginning his second term when he was shot by John Wilkes Booth at Ford’s Theater in Washington, D.C. on the evening of April 14, 1865. Lincoln survived the night but died the next morning at a house across the street from the theater. Lincoln’s death came only six days after the surrender of Robert E. Lee at Appomattox and the end of the Civil War.

1880: JAMES GARFIELD was shot by assassin Charles Guiteau on July 2, 1881 in a Washington railway station. The shots were not immediately fatal; Garfield lived for two months before dying from complications on September 19th.

1900: WILLIAM McKINLEY was elected in 1896 and re-elected in 1900. He was attending the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, New York when he was shot by unemployed millworker Leon Czolgosz on September 6, 1901. He died a week later as a result of gangrene caused by the bullet wounds. (McKinley was replaced by Theodore Roosevelt, who a decade later was shot but not killed while trying to regain the presidency.)

1920: WARREN HARDING made a cross-country rail tour in 1923, a major undertaking for that time. Harding became the first president to visit Alaska, but while returning south to California he came down with intestinal cramps and then pneumonia. While convalescing from these illnesses Harding suffered an apparent stroke and died on August 2 in San Francisco.

1940: FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT, first elected in 1932, was beginning an unprecedented fourth term when he died in April of 1945. Worn down by years of exertion leading the country during the Great Depression and World War II, FDR suffered a cerbral hemorrhage while on a working vacation in Warm Springs, Georgia. His last words have become well known: “I have a terrific headache.”

1960: JOHN F. KENNEDY’s death has perhaps replaced Lincoln’s as the most famous presidential assassination. Kennedy was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald during a motorcade through Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. Two days later Oswald was himself shot and killed by Jack Ruby.

1980: RONALD REAGAN served two full terms, 1981-1989. He survived an assassination attempt by John Hinckley on 30 March 1981.

2000: GEORGE W. BUSH also served two full terms, from 2001-2009, thereby putting the final kibosh on Tecumseh’s Curse. He narrowly escaped an assassination attempt by a pretzel on 14 January 2002, but his administration was otherwise healthfully uneventful.

Does every performance of the Rent Broadway Tour feature Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal?

I saw it in Dallas in May and I was wondering if the performances later this year (specifically the one in San Francisco) still featured Anthony and Adam. I went to check out the ticket situation on the theater‘s website and it showed a photo of another actor in Adam Pascal’s role.

help with economic about Externalities?

4. A local drama company proposes a new neighborhood theater in San Francisco. Before approving the building permit, the city planner completes a study of the theater’s impact on the surrounding community.
a. One finding of the study is that theaters attract traffic, which adversely affects the community. The city planner estimates that the cost to the community from the extra traffic is $5 per ticket. What kind of an externality is this? Why?
a. positive Externalities
b. negative Externalities

b. Graph the market for theater tickets, labeling the demand curve, the social-cost curve, the supply curve, the social-cost curve, the market equilibrium level of output, and the efficient level of output. Also show the per-unit amount of the externality

c. Upon further review, the city planner uncovers a second externality. Rehearsals for the plays tend to run until late at night, with actors, stagehands, and other theater members coming and going at various hours. The planner has found that the increased foot traffic improves the safety of the surrounding streets, an estimated benefit to the community of $2 per ticket. What kind of externality is this? Why?
a. positive Externalities
b. negative Externalities
d. On a new graph, illustrate the market for theater tickets in the case of these two externalities. Again, label the demand curve, the social-value curve, the supply curve, the social-cost curve, the market equilibrium level of output, the efficient level of output, and the per-unit amount of both externalities.

Stimulus…or smut-ulus?

Stimulus money for the National Endowment for the Arts is supposed to be “restricted specifically to job preservation. ” Looks like the stimulus money is being used for much more than we thought. Here’s a small excerpt:

· $25,000 to CounterPulse in San Francisco, California that just held this past Saturday (July 25th) “Perverts Put Out” which urges one to “Join your fellow pervs for some explicit, twisted fun!”. The picture accompanying the announcement is a nude man onstage at a microphone.

and this one where the theater owes back taxes…

· $25,000 to Borderlands Theater Teatro Fronterizo, Inc. in Tucson, Arizona is delinquent in paying federal taxes (see here, last item at the bottom of the page). Recently did “School of the Americas” about Che Guevara and has upcoming “WHAT’S UNDER THAT SKIRT? A BORDERLINE LOOK AT GENDER” and “SHE WAS MY BROTHER”.

Where are the smut-ulus police?
