Whats Money Order
Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
In the United States, a money order is a type of check intended to provide a safe alternative to sending cash (in the mail). Money orders are typically sold by third parties such as the Postal Service, grocery stores, convenience stores, and financial service companies such as banks who often do not charge for money orders to their clients. Money orders are often employed by people who have a checking account as a way to offer greater security as money orders would not contain their routing number or account number such as on a check.
A money order as purchased by a presenter typically consists of two portions: the negotiable check for remittance to the creditor, and a receipt the customer retains for his records. The amount is imprinted by machine or checkwriter on both portions, and similar documentation, either as a third hard copy or in electronic form, is retained at the issuer and agent locations.
A money order is purchased for the amount desired. In this way it is similar to a certified check. The main difference is that money orders are usually limited in face value to some specified figure (for example, $1,000 for Postal money orders as of February, 2006) while certified checks are not.
One of the reasons for the growing popularity of money orders is that, unlike a personal bank check, they are pre-paid and therefore cannot bounce. The only hypothetical reasons a money order could ever bounce are if the payment is stopped by the maker of the money order, if the issuing company goes bankrupt, or if the money order is fraudulent or counterfeit.
Money orders are generally considered safer for payments from parties unknown to the payee, as opposed to a personal check drawn on the maker's bank account. This is mainly because money orders are unlikely to bounce due to insufficient funds, since a money order is drawn on a bank's funds rather than on an individual's bank account like a personal check is. And while an individual's checking account balance is susceptible to running out due to personal whims and incompetencies, a banking institution's funds generally are not. In recent years, partly for this reason, money orders have become a preferred method of payment by sellers of goods over the Internet, but are rapidly being replaced by electronic transfer services (such as PayPal) as the most popular method.
On the other hand, recently (2006) there has been a significant increase in sightings of counterfeit postal money orders. Often, such a counterfeit will be sent to an unwitting victim who is instructed, on some pretext, to deposit it at his bank and return some of the funds. The victim is more likely to trust an "official" money order than a regular check, for the reasons given above. However, because money orders are paid through the postal service rather than the usual check clearing system, they often take longer to "bounce" than an ordinary check. When this finally occurs it is charged back to the victim, who may already have sent back the funds, for which he or she must take the loss. For this reason banks are now applying increased scrutiny to incoming money orders, and are becoming more reluctant to accept them. A safer approach is to cash them at a post office. In this case, the authenticity of the item is immediately determined, and if deemed good, the holder is paid and absolved of further responsibility for the funds.
Another caveat to the oft-purported safety benefit of mailing money orders is that if they are damaged in the mail, they may literally become worthless. This is because when trying to redeem the money order (whether by the recipient, or by the original purchaser―if it was damaged enough to be returned to the sender), some institutions will not cash it, nor issue a new one, if the routing number on the bottom of the money order is unable to be read by their processing machine (as might happen with a torn or water damaged money order), commonly even if a receipt is present. When this happens, a claim must usually be filed with the issuing bank or institution. Unfortunately, most of the institutions that issue money orders charge a "non-refundable service fee," which is sometimes greater than the value of the money order itself―especially for lower denomination money orders (the service fee[1] for filing a claim with MoneyGram, for example, is $12). The claim then generally takes 30 to 60 days to be procesed, though it may be rejected. Sending cash in the mail, on the other hand, while still generally discouraged, would at least offer a greater chance at redeeming the entire value of the amount sent should damage occur (unless the envelope or package is known to be carrying cash and is stolen), since most banks will exchange damaged bank notes so long as the bill is at least more than fifty percent intact

紐約馬桶和台北馬桶的比較
這次剛回來～～就發現一件事情～～ 就是我家馬桶明顯高很多 腳都放不到地上～～
家裡是用一個日本排子的馬桶 叫做 日本ALPS 圖如下
而美國American Standard的馬桶～～長這個樣子
這就很奇怪了～～ 為什麼亞洲自己出的馬桶 反而比較不符合亞洲人的人體工學勒？？
可是日本人身高也不會普遍比較高丫？？為什麼他們排子做的馬桶比較高呢？？～～恩恩～～待我做些research在告訴大家為啥米ㄅ～～

紐約幾個舞者的挑戰點-Carnival
Hip-hop專業表演
這是ㄧ場每一段時間就會固定舉辦的專業舞者表演，這場表演最大特色就是Hip-hop的專業舞蹈，他們會固定包下一家Club 裡面表演的舞者都是從紐約 LA Hollywood 和英國倫敦 來的世界各地舞者， 我覺得 如果有台灣團體 覺得實力夠強 也可以去報名參加 ，每場的入場門票大約是20元美金，去表演一下幫幫台灣打一下國際名聲也不錯。這個組織團體叫做 The Carnival。每次地點都不大一樣，BDC的幾位老師的學生固定會在那場表演中演出，老師包括教Hip-hop的Rhapsody，教Lyrical的Stanfield的學生連續兩場都有在那表演中出現，而且真的是跳的嚇嚇叫～～嚇死人也～～
有任何想要知道的相關資訊可以寫信問我嚕ameisherry@gmail.com

Safari, Shiira, Camino, Flock 比較
純就Mac上而言，最適合的網頁瀏覽軟體莫過於Safari。小地方不說，光以看網頁而言（尤其是相容性佳的中文網頁），Safari看比Firefox看漂亮兩倍、比Internet Explorer看漂亮十倍；然而就是那些不說的小地方，讓Safari有些相容性的問題。有些網站或相關技術對於Safari（以及系出同門的Shiira）所使用的KHTML引擎並不友善，所以偶爾會有碰壁的狀況發生。
這時候如果還是不想用IE（尤其最近微軟已經宣佈終止對Mac版IE的支援）、想兼顧網站在Mac和PC平台的相容性、或試想使用各種各樣的外掛工具，那麼Firefox應該就是不二首選了。不過正版（沒有經過熱心人士修改的）Firefox在看中文網頁的時候，偶爾會出現某些字無端消失的問題。另外兩個值得推薦的同類型瀏覽軟體，則是Firefox的同門師兄弟Camino和Flock；其實如果不提ASP伺服器糟糕的相容性，Mac上的好瀏覽軟體還真是不少。:-)
---------------------------------
個人使用經驗 Flock 跟Firefox 比較象
其他跟Safari 象
針對一些網頁開啟來的模式～～ 這是心得 哈
不過Shiira好慢 討厭 ～～ Camino 跑最快 跟 Safari 有的拼
本人目前使用Flock跟Safari 搭配起來還不錯用
