Modern Bedroom Decor?

LatinaLove

So i am moving once again, and I think it's time to mature my room. I am in high school and am looking for a modern theme. Anyone have advice for wall colors, futons (if you could give me a link that'd be superb) and a new flat screen telivision? Links would be great. TEN POINTS TO WHO EVER CAN GIVE ME THE BEST DECOR TIPS!

and I kind of have a budget, it's alittle hard but it's alittle tight. from $1,000-1,5000

Remember- the theme i'm going for is MODERN.

Answer
I love this couch, it is a convertible bed, so a little nicer than a futon.

I would get 2 night stands...
http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Broadway-Black-2-drawer-Open-Cubbie-Nightstand/2208999/product.html
This as a dresser
http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Broadway-Black-6-drawer-Condo-sized-Dresser/2207110/product.html
put your flat screen over the dresser
http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/VIZIO-VO22L-22-inch-1080P-HDTV-Refurbished/3542005/product.html
with accent cube shelves places staggered on each side of the tv
I had too many links, but you can get a set of 3 for $20 at target
(I would get 2 sets, 3 on ea side)
now for the punch of color

I would get two striped pillows, they bring in the dark tones of the wood, the cream in the couch, and introduce the red
This rug does the same thing...
http://www.target.com/Mohawk-Home-Lava-Rug-24x44/dp/B0016NV7K2/sr=1-19/qid=1239151611/ref=sr_1_19/185-7194327-1823204?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=0&index=target&rh=k%3Ared%20area%20rug&page=1
I think three of these hung over the futon at 2 in intervals would create a very graphic art statement

one of these to frame pics of friends to add personal warmth...

2 lamps, one for each night table on the side of the couch
http://www.target.com/Black-Finish-Wood-Tower-Table/dp/B0007USKAA/ref=sc_pgc_r_7_0_255023011/185-7194327-1823204?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1
I think the lines of this book shelf are very modern
http://www.target.com/Folding-Shelf-Collection/dp/B0018ZQ77Q/sr=1-10/qid=1239152161/ref=sr_1_10/185-7194327-1823204?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=0&index=target&field-browse=1038614&rh=k%3Abook%20shelf&page=1
Hope I gave you some ideas, the grand total I came up with was $1512.42 not including tax & shipping. If you get anything from overstock, they will ship your entire order, no matter how large for $2.95. I'm sure this is more detailed than what you were asking for, and but I hope the items I pick out gave you inspiration. You can find cheaper accents at discount close out stores & clearance shelves.

How much does a two-bedroom apartment in Vancover?

kamikaze

How much would it approximately cost for a two bedroom apartment/condo in Vancouver?
I'm not looking for anything fancy, but nothing old, slum-like either and the neighborhood should be safe enough to roam freely at night and shouldn't be too far from downtown. I'm interested in Fairview or Burnaby.

What would be the price range for an apartment like that? (to rent and to buy respectively)

Answer
Renting a 2-bedroom apartment in Burnaby will set you back at least $1100 per month. The rents in Vancouver go up from there.
Condos would cost you around $300,000 as a minimum in Burnaby. In Vancouver the prices will be over $400,000.

Can I use my American CNA license in Canada?

bedroom set vancouver image

Marie

I am considering moving to Canada next year after my 21st birthday. I want to become a permanent Canadian citizen. But I am in school for CNA. I am wondering if I could use my CNA license in Canada without having to take the class all over again. Also, what are the ghetto/slum parts of Canada (the parts I'm trying to stay away from), the average cost of a one bedroom studio/monthly rent.

Thanks.

Answer
A US CNA license is only valid in the US.
In Canada, you'd have to be licensed whichever Canadian Province or Territory you settle in.
And any other Province or Territory if you end up moving around from one to another.

The following is a lengthy but informative quote I found for you from a forum for nurses:

"Health care in Canada is a federally regulated, provincially administered responsibility; each province has its own rules, methods and goals. obtaining a license in one province does not automatically entitle you to one in another. Our colleges of nursing don't care one bit if you've passed the nclex, because it doesn't mean anything in canada. to be a Canadian registered nurse or licensed practical nurse, you have to pass the Canadian registered nurse exam (crne) or the Canadian licensed practical nurse exam (clpne). studying for the nclex then writing the crne isn't wise, because the exams are very different... if you're coming to Canada, do it Canada's way.

Canada's health care system is a high-tech environment and the scope of practice for nurses is very broad. We nurses do a lot of things here that aren't even taught to nurses in other countries. If your education is assessed and found lacking, it's because you won't have the necessary skills to function independently in our environment.

Several provinces and all three territories are now utilizing alberta's substantially equivalent competence (sec) assessment in cases where there are concerns regarding the suitability of an individual's education or experience.This assessment will highlight any shortfalls and ensure that applicants meet the minimum standards to which all nurses are held...

"When a province assesses an ien's education, it compares it to that of a new graduate from a local nursing program. Everyone is held to the same standard, and the bar is set fairly high. We're proud of our health care here, and want to be sure that providers are competent to function at the same level as a locally educated person. It's nothing personal."
Link - http://allnurses.com/nursing-in-canada/internationally-educated-nurses-323075.html

As for ghettos/slums, Canada doesn't actually have much that's comparable with US ones.
Places we think of as "the hood" are ordinary middle-class neighbourhoods by US standards.

Rent depends on location.
Vancouver's now the most expensive city in North America to call home.
Toronto is Canada's largest city, and rents vary wildly depending on which parts of the city a person wants to live in.
Towns tend to be cheaper, but ones near major cities aren't.
Best advice is to narrow your search to a specific Province or Territory and then look up rents in the various cities and towns to get a feel for what the costs are like.

What are some unusual, uncommon, yet thoughtful arguments against same-sex marriage?

Daniel

I am writing my high school senior thesis on why there is no reason same-sex should be illegal. I've covered all the typical, common arguments against it in my antithesis, but I know there are a lot more out there that I would like to include. Thank you.

Answer
Liberals mock Republicans for claiming that we are on a moral "Slippery Slope," but let’s look at the facts.

Not long ago gays proclaimed: “It’s none of your business what I do in the bedroom! Why can't Republicans mind their own business?” But their gay “lifestyle” somehow left the bedroom and is today being taught to school children...as an “alternate lifestyle.”

Then “the slope” steepened:

-8/18/12 foxnews.com: California law barring parents from 'curing' gay children moves through legislature.

French gays have an even better idea:
-10/11/12 http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012: Legislation that would legalize same-sex marriage and give homosexual couples the right to adopt children also would replace the terms “mother” and “father” with “parent 1” and “parent 2” in all legal documents, including birth certificates.

But why stop at “gay rights”?

-11/2/12 http://www.campusreform.org/blog/?ID=448… Evergreen State College in Washington State: A public school’s ‘non-discrimination policy’ allows Colleen Francis, a biological male who identifies as a woman, to use the women’s locker room and restrooms. According to the police report obtained by Campus Reform, the transgendered man in question, 45-year-old student Colleen Francis, was “sitting with her legs open with her male genitalia showing” with girls as young as six years old present.

-8/13/12 theblaze.com: Democrat Mary Gonzalez was the first lesbian to openly serve in the Texas House of Representatives, and now she’s becoming the first “pansexual,” too.
As Gonzalez defines it, apparently a “pansexual” is attracted to men, women, men who identify as women, women who identify as men, and everything in between....”

What’s next? Incest?

Woody Allen had an affair with his daughter-in-law. Morgan Freeman had an affair with his granddaughter-in-law.

How long will it be before Hollywood gifts us with a movie about this couple?
11/6/12 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-557600/Father-daughter-baby-30-year-separation.html:
-A father and daughter confessed on television last night to spending seven years in a sexual relationship and conceiving two children.
-"John and I are in this relationship as consenting adults," Jenny told Australia's 60 Minutes programme last night.
-"We are just asking for a little bit of respect and understanding."

In a recent episode of the History Channel’s miniseries “Midwife” an elderly brother and sister lived together incestuously for decades. When the two died in each other’s arms -- he of cancer, she of suicide -- the head nun (yes, a nun) who supervised their last days eulogized: “It’s not who you love that’s important, it’s love itself that defines human beings.” It was a real tear jerker...yes, sir.

Oh, look! Here’s another lifestyle!

-2/26/12 http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2012/02/26/bc-vancouver-bestiality.html CBC News, Canada: A Vancouver man is set to go to trial for bestiality, a charge that is rarely prosecuted in the courts. The SPCA alleges it has seized video of Brian Cutteridge, 38, engaged in sexual acts with his dog. Cutteridge has argued openly against bestiality laws and has written extensively about sexual relationships with animals. Two years ago he published a paper called For the Love of Dog: On the Legal Prohibition of Zoophilia in Canada and the United States. "He feels very strongly that that should be something that's legal," Moriarty said. "He feels those relationship with his dogs are equivalent to a marriage-type relationship...”

And another!
-1/3/13 http://m.guardian.co.uk/society/2013/jan/03/paedophilia-bringing-dark-desires-light:
“But there is a growing conviction, notably in Canada, that paedophilia should probably be classified as a distinct sexual orientation, like heterosexuality or homosexuality.”
-----------
“nihilism” defined:
-A doctrine holding that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated.
-The belief that destruction of existing political or social institutions is necessary for future improvement.
------
Footnote: Should gay couples have the same legal status as hetero couples? Absolutely, and they have those rights in most states. In fact, they have rights superior to us due to their federal minority status. They get quotas just like racial minorities. But that’s still not enough! Now they want to change the definition of marriage from a union of man and woman, a tradition embraced by all cultures, world wide, since written history. Man, you talk about in-your-face!
------
How did we get here?

It all started 20 years ago with: “It’s none of your business what I do in the bedroom! Why don’t you Republicans mind your own business?”

What are the cheapest and most affordable Canadian university an international student can apply to?

hass_mat

I am a Lebanese student willing to study in Canada.What is the cheapest university that I can apply to?

Answer
In addition to the above answers, I will directly suggest a university for you to look into.

Winnipeg has 2 universities:

-The University of Winnipeg (Primarily Undergrad)
-The University of Manitoba (Offers a wide variety of graduate and professional programs (i.e. Medicine) in addition to Undergrad programs, those undergrad programs including Nursing, Social Work, and Engineering).

The University of Winnipeg is always rated as one of the top primarily undergraduate schools in Canada.

Winnipeg has the best of both worlds. Tuition is affordable and reasonable, although not the lowest in the country, AND so is the cost of living. Together, this makes Winnipeg a viable otion.

Although Winnipeg is not as large as Vancouver or Toronto (Winnipeg has about 700,000 people), it does have many parks (Assinaboine Park is top notch, and has a zoo) , cultural events (i.e. Folklorama), theatres, restaurants, and places to explore. The Forks, Corydon, and Osbourne Village are trendy places to walk, shop, and eat. St. Boniface, St. Vital Park, and Wellington Crescent are beautiful ares for walking in the Sumemr.

Winnipeg is generally very safe as long as you avoid the "bad" areas...like any other larger city. When you move, people will usually show you where to avoid going (i.e. The West end, North end, Downtown at night, etc.).

Winnipeg has managed to avoid the HUGE boom in increased renting costs, although housing prices have increased. Renting a 1 bedroom apartment in Winnipeg may set you back $475-$650 depending on which area you live, but that same apartment in Vancouver, Saskatoon (huge increase in rent in the last year), or Toronto may cost you $800-$1200.

Winnipeg also have a very strong immigrant community as well. I am not sure how many Lebanese people reside there, but you may be able to find out more information on the Internet. Winnipeg is known as being "cultural friendly". Winnipeg has many ethnic restaurants and events. Even though you are just visiting, perhaps this would appeal to you.

If you are looking for excitement, then yes, be prepared to spend big money and go to UBC, McGill, Laval, or University of Toronto. These are located in Provinces with the "big" major cities.

But if you are willing to give a good sized city on the Prairies a shot (if does get very cold in the Winter!), then Winnipeg is a good choice.

The key to liking Winnipeg is to go out and explore it. There is lots to offer if you know where to look.

Right now you need to go the websites of the different schools you are considering. They will usually tell you how much each credit hour costs. If not, call. Then look up apartments in that area and rank them. You need to find a place that offers BOTH decent tuition, AND a lower cost of living. Also, some schools allow scholorships for International Students. Look into that. The University of Regina caters to IN students. U of R is also a nice school if you don't mind living in a smaller city (200,000). Renting costs have gone up in Regina, but they are not as bad as Saskatoon. Regina is a pretty, very friendly little city.

Good luck with your choice!
