The Lucky Craft Sammy 105 is a refined version of the traditional Sammy with additional deadly fish catching characteristics. The rounded body shape of all Sammys make "walking the dog" easy for anglers even those with less experience fishing topwater baits. The same holds true for the Sammy 105. The Sammys are deadly lures that can attract a lot of bass even the monsters when the topwater bite is on. Lucky Craft has added another hook to the Sammy 105, bringing the total up to 3 hooks. Topwater baits, Sammys included are notorious for having bass slap the lure and get away between actually hooking up. The 3 hooks give you an extra valuable chance to hook some of those fish that get away. Lucky Craft also added a single knocker in the tail of the bait comprised of a tungsten ball which rattles during the "walk the dog" motion of the lure. This subtle knocking noise while walking the bait will help call fish from deeper water for even more strikes. The additional hook will help seal the deal. The Sammy 105 is an advanced take on the proven Lucky Craft Sammy design.

Comments: The 105 has 3 hooks instead of 2 hooks like all the other sizes. Unfortunately the hooks that come with them are two big and they foul on just about every cast. I've taken it out on two trips and always wind up tying on the regular 100 or a super spook. On the other hand I just discovered that Mustad makes the Triple grip series treble hooks in a short shank. I'll try to swap out the hooks and give them another shot. Meanwhile, I highly recommend that Lucky Craft fix this problem at the factory.
From: MaxZmus: San Diego, CA
Comments: not my favorite topwater for walking the dog - I much prefer Lucky Craft's Gunfish. I got this bait in an aurora black and had problems on the first cast. Maybe I got a wrottten one but mine doesnt walk correctly unless the tip of the rod is worked up in the air. The Gunfish; however, walks perfectly with little effort; great action and spitting that draws in schoolies on the Conway chain and Butler Chain here in Florida. If your going to spend this much $ on a topwater, get a gunfish instead.
From: Rick: FL
Comments: This lure is an excellent smallmouth bait, and with the extra hook, it's a great one. The 115's are nice, but I miss a lot of fish on them. The action, colors, they're all right there.
From: Joe: Bellingham, WA
Comments:There are sooo many bait companies that try to copy the Sammy but nothing throws, walks or spits like a true lucky Craft Sammy.

By PATRICK N. SUNDSTROMEmery
Dear Editor,
The democrats and their public relations firm, the mainstream press have puled out all the stops with their vicious and baseless attacks on our president. They now have what they call proof the president was asleep at the wheel before 9-11. The only problem is the guy they have making the accusations has told two completely different stories. Richard Clarke worked for both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. He says there was no higher priority to the Clinton administration than fighting terrorism. What a joke, In 1997, Bill Clinton said the most serious issue facing America was race. And his VP Al Gore was running around telling us the most serious threat to the world was the internal combustion engine.
I am not the smartest guy in the world but I don't recall the Clinton administration doing very much at all about terrorism, including talking about it. I think Richard Clarke had two reasons for what he said in his testimony, to sell a book and to settle a score by damaging the president because he did not get the job he wanted in the Bush administration. It has also been revealed Richard Clarke is a lifelong democrat contributor. The main reason, however, this man should not be trusted is he has told at least two different stories about the Bush administration. He says they were doing something about Al Qaeda, then he changes his mind and says they were doing nothing. He says they had changed policy toward terrorism, then he changes his mind and says they had no policy change. And he says nothing about the five attacks during the Clinton administration. He says nothing about the fact these attacks went pretty much unchecked by the Clinton administration.
The thing that really angers me is the democrats had eight years to address this problem and did virtually nothing. The did manage to blow the hell out of an aspirin factory in the Sudan and put a couple of guys in jail. And now they have the audacity to try to destroy the only man who has done anything about it.
Here is the thing that shows the fallacy of the Get George Bush, I mean the 9-11 Commission. The democrats on this commission are criticizing the Bush administration for not being pre-emptive on terrorism before 9-11. But these same people are criticizing him for his pre-emptive strike on Iraq. He can do nothing right in these peoples eyes because of who he is. Make no mistake about what Saddam Hussein was. A friend to terrorists. He helped train them and he paid money to the families of Palestinian homicide bombers. I remember after 9-11 this president declared war on terrorism, not terrorism approved by the democrats.
I can only see one useful thing that has come out of the 9-11 hearings. John Kerry has a running mate in Richard Clarke. They can have all kinds of fun changing stories together whenever it is politically expedient. They are two peas in a pod.

Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
yeah, was really good once again.
Superboy not being smart here though, but i guess all we can do is wait and see what the results will be...
Episode 25
Love this episode ^_^ Solves so many problems at once as well as answering a few questions. Love Rocket as well, Its kind of funny that the younger team has more females then the Justice League now XD

Now that was something, what an ep.
Next one is the last one ?
Indeed a good episode, and the cliffhanger looked like new season-material allready.
Can't wait for the next episode.
Episode 26
Season Finale, but thanks to the long break between episodes 18 and 19 there will be no break between seasons and Episode 27 will still be on next week.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Good ep.
So, did they regrow Speedy's clone from his arm ?
Hmmmm, let's see, they could have been sent to other planets and their respective hideouts. You know, Batman and Superman to their Cave and Ice Castle(?), Wonderwomen to the Amazon Island, Green Lantern to the Green Lantern's Space Base(?), the Martian to mars (originally there was something hidden there), and the Hawkwomen to her own planet.
The time skip was really unexpected, pretty much changed everything in the show. Don't like the fact Connor and Megan broke up, I really hope they explain some of the things that happened during the time skip as well. Also, I really like both the blue beetle and Beast boy, both have good designs and characters.
Finally, The new robin being Tim Drake kind of leaves an opening. Jason todd could very well have been around during the time skip, and I'm sure Cross would like it if he shows up later in the series as Red X.

I grew up on the East Coast and have heard -- probably from East Coast media outlets -- that New York fans are the most knowledgeable in sports. I have always agreed with that assessment until I recently visited a Web site devoted to and run by New York Jets fans. The site is called jetsinsider.com, and depending on when you visit, either Chad Pennington, Curtis Martin, Justin McCareins or Doug Jolley is the second-worst Jet of all time.
I say second-worst because regardless of when you visit this site, the one unifying thread that will be posted, day or night, win or lose, is that Herman Edwards is the single worst football coach to ever wear a whistle. Post after post slams Herm and his coaching decisions, disregarding that he has taken the Jets to the playoffs in three of his five years. Posters whine and whine and whine about the "five year plan" and complain, "Where is the Super Bowl?"
I recently exchanged e-mails with Mark Cannizzaro, the Jets beat writer for the New York Post who also writes for jetsinsider.com. I asked him if it was my imagination or were these "fans" disproportionately harsh on Edwards? Cannizzaro quickly responded to my e-mail and assured me that it was not my imagination. Jets fans are the worst on the Web, excluding Raiders fans, of course, who are using their data ports to light up their Darth Vader skull bongs.
One poster on jetsinsider.com said he could name 20 head coaches in the NFL who were better than Edwards. He did list the coaches, but he didn't realize that Herm has beaten most of them. You would think that Edwards hurt Pennington's arm and kicked Martin in the knee shortly before kickoff each week.
Jetsinsider.com posters mock the fact that Edwards is a great motivator and routinely post that from Monday to Saturday he is a great coach, but never on Sundays. One poster asked incredulously, "How many head coaches in the NFL need a guy to watch the game clock for him?" Under an alias I replied, "Uh...ALL OF THEM! They are called assistant head coaches!"
Jets fans are sick and tired of hearing about injuries and think that unless you can get Reggie Bush out of it, you should be able to win 10 games with the jayvee squad out there. Seriously, how well would the Patriots do if they lost Tom Brady? In the three games in which Corey Dillon didn't play this season, the Pats lost twice.
What if the Colts, after starting the season without Peyton Manning (shudder), suddenly lost center Jeff Saturday and two two weeks later Edgerrin James. Three wins? Maybe, maybe not.
What Jets fans should realize is that this may be the most injured team ever in the most critical areas.
That doesn't matter to the legions of jetsinsider.com. You must win if you are the Jets, and you must not be conservative, and you must either win every game or lose every game so you can draft Bush. One poster seriously wrote that Al Davis purposely did not start Kerry Collins against the Jets to sabotage New York's chances at the number one pick. Not only is conspiracy garbage like this posted, but hundreds also RESPONDED to it.
The number one subject on jetsinsider.com is that Edwards is hurting this franchise and his time is up. "What has he ever done except regress as head coach of the New York Jets?" they ask. Well, for starters he has two playoff wins since 2002. That may seem ho hum, but not when you compare it to the rest of the NFL.
Since 2002, the Texans, Lions, Cardinals, Redskins, Saints, Browns, Bears, Broncos, Giants, Bills, Dolphins, Chargers, Cowboys, Chiefs, Jaguars, Seahawaks, Bengals and Ravens have won ZERO playoff games. I am sticking with Herm.

You need to come to Amedios restaurant and Bar on Western Blvd. In Raleigh.
We have been watching games there for years. We have the back room where Bar is and about 15 tables. There are usually 20-40 of us and the Jet game is on the huge wall TV with sound on. There are 6 other satellite games on without sound on side walls.
Dollar Rolling Rocks. This year we rented a bus for the Panthers game.

The Anzacs presents a tumultuous vision of battle, of the Anzac troops and their horses in action, with the figure in front holding his head in anguish after he has been shot. It captures one moment in a battle, when all the humans and animals are straining every muscle in their effort to advance against the enemy and defend themselves from attack.
Lambert modelled this sculpture from his recollection of men and horses he had known in Palestine. The rearing horse at the back of the group typified the best of the Australian troop horses and the horse with its nose touching the ground was Lambert's memory portrait of a horse that he had ridden when he was with the Light Horse. The soldier on the left side front in full uniform with a rifle in his hand represented a typical Light Horseman who has been hit and whose muscles are suddenly giving way, the soldier in the centre was a typical New Zealander firing steadily at the enemy, and the figure in the front who has been shot represented a serviceman's sacrifice for his country, with his naked torso suggesting that his 'worldly troubles are over' (ML MSS 97/8, item 7).
Lambert constructed the sculpture on a pyramidal structure, with the lines curving forward and upward, over and downward, like waves, to enhance the sense of motion and energy in the work.
As Lambert's friend George Pitt-Rivers commented, the sculpture demonstrates the importance of living life to the fullest and most dangerously 'concentrating every muscle of the body and every thought upon one absorbing object as long as life lasts'. It captures the chaos and horror of battle, of men meeting death, because it 'shrinks from no detail of physiological reality', shows 'every straining sinew and flexed limb' of the men and represents well-bred horses 'quivering with pain' (Lambert 1924, pp.36–7).
Lambert made several pencil studies in his sketchbooks for this group, including drawings for the front figure and for the falling figure, as well as Study for Desert Mounted Corps memorial 1926 (cat.104).

1) WA-2 Larsen (D) vs Koster (R) D ahead by 3,872 (240/188)
2) VA-11 Connolly (D) vs Fimian (R) D ahead by 968 with counting complete but recanvass outstanding (240/189)
3) KY-6 Chandler (D) vs Barr (R) D ahead by 649 with counting complete but recanvass scheduled for Nov 12 (240/190)

5) CA-20 Costa (D) vs Vidak (R) R ahead by 648 but his lead has been sliced by 2/3 and many more votes to be counted in a county that went 60/40 for Costa (Kern Co. I believe) (240/192)
6) IL-8 Walsh (R) vs Bean (D) R Ahead by 350 although lead has been cut since Tuesday. (241/192)

8) NY-25 Buerkle (R) vs Maffei (D) R has 684 vote lead. Absentee/Military uncounted (243/192)
PREDICTION 243R/192D +64 vs last Congress
Good work (((((((((applause))))))))) for your efforts.
Looks like the 'RATS need to "find" a couple of "bags of ballots" for New York and one for Illinois.
When it comes to undecided races, NC District 4 [?] ought to be included here too — Etheridge (D) vs. Ellmers (R). Ellmers upset Etheridge by 2099, but the next morning Sampson County "found" enough "early votes" to close the margin for Etheridge to call for a recount. Ellmers holds a 1600+ vote lead — but this is typical for NC Democrats — they steal elections this way (Chicago has NOTHING on them). This race CANNOT be counted as a "sure thing" and must be regarded as "undecided." Not sure where it falls in these numbers.
I predict +63, but +64 is very possible.
WA-2, VA-11 and KY-6 are lost unless a huge error is found.
CA-20 very unlikely that Vidak can hold on. The remaining counties are breaking 60/40 for Costa.
CA-11 Harmer has a small chance to overcome his deficit, but absentees seem to breaking for McNerney.
IL-8 Walsh has a 50/50 chance. Bean has been outperforming in Cook county absentees, but it's not clear how many are left to be counted.
NY-1 Altschuler's lead likely to shrink a little because the absentees have a slight Democratic tilt - GOP registration is +%5% but the absentees only +3%.
NY-25 Buerkle should win. The absentees are proportional between Dem and GOP areas.
The last 4 really depend on the relative effectiveness of the parties' absentee programs.
Absentee/Military uncounted?
Then we win, yes???
"Absentee/Military uncounted? Then we win, yes???"
You can't assume that. Last year there was a special election in NY-20. The Republican led by 17 initially, after the absentees were counted, the Democrat won by 401. And this is a GOP district.
Thankfully, the Democrat Murphy was defeated this year.
'Rats probably busy in basements across the country with ACORN forging ballots as we speak.
Excellent summary.
I would love to see them get to 240 just because it would be historic. As it is, there are more Republicans in the House than at any time in my lifetime! I hope to live long enough to see 56+ GOP senators since 55 has been their ceiling since the 1920a I believe. They came close in 1996, 1998, and 2004 but just can't seem to break that barrier. 2012 is possible, but it would be tough. It could happen in 2014.
They are already at 240. They have 2 or 3 more within their grasp.
It's NC-2:
I'm pretty confident Ellmers will hold on to her win over Bob ("Who are YOU?") Etheridge. And I'm also confident that the newly elected, Republican-controlled for the first time in more than a century General Assembly (NC Senate and NC House) will make her district safer when they redraw the lines next year -- most likely by removing that "finger" jutting into minority-heavy southeast Wake County, and attaching it to a Dem district.
Don't get too upset if we lose IL-8.
Democrats control redistricting, they will make the new district safe for Melissa Bean to win in 2012.
in 2012 there are twice as many dems that have to defend than repubs. IIRC there will be 22 dems up and 11 repubs up.
That smells good.
Where does the NC race with Etheridge(D)stand? Have you already included that seat among the 240 held by Republicans?
I don't know where you got your count from, Millard, but Rush Limbaugh has said since Thursday that the GOP is already assured a net gain of at least +63 seats. I believe that that number does not include any of the races said to be undecided. I believe I've also heard the +63 with nine contests undecided on a cable TV outlet.
Much more probable in 2012 given there are 21 dim senators up for re-elction, plus the will have to run in the long shadow of 0Bozo on the 'big ticket'. The dims have 19 up in 2014.
Thanks, justicekeeper, for the ping.
Millard is right in line with the CNN Election Center Projection.....
Both Millard and CNN show...
Seems like the Rats are winning all of these close races. You know, the places where they are finding missing votes. I have a bad feeling the Republicans are satisfied and not making sure these races are not being stolen.
I have a hard time believing all these Dems won on a day where Republicans were sweeping in all over the country. No doubt Reid stole that election in Nevada. There is no way you have a 9 point swing on a single day when everything is going the other way. Compound that with the rigged machines where you pull for the Republican and the votes go to Reid and the Democrats. Plus don't for the power outage.
+61 is assured (includes Ellmers and Farenthold)
We have a decent chance to win 3 additional seats where we have tenuous leads (Walsh, Buerkle, Altschuler).
Vidak and Harmer look like longshots at this stage.
You think they can gain 9 in 2012 to break that ceiling of 55?? It is possible but it would take a lot of luck and a tremendous "wave" once again. I think a gain of 4 to get to a majority is very possible but getting up to 56 is probably out of reach. At this point though just to see the Dems in the minority would be great.
If 0bama is reelected and 2014 is his second midterm then we can hope it is a bad year for Dems and dolts like Franken et al will get dumped.
Two years is so long in politics.. look at how quickly things changed from 2008 to 2010.
Means conservatives in the house can pass whatever they want even if all Dems plus a couple dozen RINOS oppose.
They won't be able to pass much that the Senate will go for, the Senate will not be able to pass anything objectionable to Republicans, and Obama will veto anything the Democrats don't like. Pretty much a stalemate.
But the House Republicans CAN have fun with an unending series of investigative hearings on the Obama administration, ACORN, vote fraud, etc, etc. It may be a fun two years.
Great work, do you have a ping list for people who would like to follow this? I would like to be added if you do.

The peculiar thing about ETFs, some might say the great thing, is the ease of owning extremely specialized trading tools.
Some ETFs work quite well when they're held for years, even decades. Witness SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY). Others are inherently for the fast money. Think triple leveraged gold-mining funds or inverse bets on the S&P.
Wall Street's industry-funded watchdog is still doling out penalties to advisers and brokers who didn't know or didn't care about the difference.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority this week ordered Atlanta brokerage J.P. Turner & Company, L.L.C. to pay $700,000 in restitution for putting customers into unsuitable leveraged and inverse exchange-traded funds during 2008-10 for periods of up to several months. The firm bought and sold a total of more than $185 million in non-traditional ETFs during the timeframe, according to FINRA.
The firm also stands accused of moving investors in and out of mutual funds in order to boost commissions. The company did not admit or deny the allegations, according to a release.
Here's hoping advisers' incomprehension of leveraged ETFs is a thing of the past, as fund executives insist in private. But it's taken FINRA so long to get around to these actions, it may be some time before there is comfort.

A winner!
"If you have narrow feet, this is the shoe for you! I ordered this online based on reviews about the narrow width (as well as my previous good luck with Nine West shoes actually fitting my hard-to-fit feet). I've only worn these so far around my carpeted apartment (in my experience things can feel different on pavement), but they feel comfy (no toe crunching!) and are tall enough to look sexy while low enough to walk comfortably. I plan to fix the nearly imperceptible heel slippage on my right foot with a heel gripper. Can't wait to take these on a walk around town!"

Tilted heel
"I was pretty excited to receive this pair at first and I wore them to work. But after a few minutes I felt the right shoe feel funny--like I always can not stand straight on right foot. So I took off the right shoe and took a look at it, OMG the whole heel of the right shoe is not straight at all!!! it tilted toward right and that's why I feel I can't stand straight! I have never had this bad experience from Nine West and I don't know how come the heel is off that much!"

Skip to comments.'Robin Hoods' who feed parking meters are hit with lawsuit in New Hampshire
Posted on 05/18/2013 3:52:34 AM PDT by billorites
A group of self-styled Robin Hoods who scamper around the streets of a New Hampshire city and feed expired parking meters for strangers has been hit with a harassment lawsuit.
The city of Keene says its three parking inspectors have been taunted, insulted and followed by the group to the point that one of them says he has suffered heart palpitations and is thinking about quitting his job.
In its lawsuit, the city is asking a court to order the group not to come within 50 feet of the parking inspectors.
The suit names six defendants, most of them bloggers for Free Keene, which describes itself on its Facebook page as your connection to the liberty activism movement in New Hampshire.
One of the six, Ian Freeman, told NBC News that The Robin Hooders have always been courteous in my experience and pointed out that the city has not charged them criminally with harassment.
The city is upset because they are losing revenue and are coming up with anything they can to try to stop it, he said.
He also noted that the citys job description for parking inspectors, included as part of the lawsuit, requires that inspectors endure verbal and mental abuse when confronted with the hostile views and opinions of the public.
The city attorney in Keene did not immediately respond to a call for comment from NBC News.
After they feed a meter, members of the group place a card on the windshield of the car that says: We saved you from the kings tariffs. Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Please consider paying it forward. The card features the Disney depiction of Robin Hood as a fox.
The group has fans in Keene, a city of about 23,000 near the Massachusetts state line.
My husband had it a few weeks ago, Pam Stetzer told NBC affiliate WHDH in Boston. He was just running a little late in one of the stores and when he came back he had the little card there saying they had put a little extra money in for him. It definitely saved him.
Another member of the group, James Cleaveland, told The New Hampshire Union Leader newspaper that the group has stopped the inspectors from writing about 4,000 tickets.
The three parking inspectors, in affidavits filed with the lawsuits, say that the taunts from the group have ranged from accusations of racism to basic trash-talk.
One of the inspectors, Linda Desruisseaux, said that one of the six liked to taunt her by saying, Linda, guess what youre not going to do today write tickets.
Roving mobs of citizens doing good for others. What has the world come to ? Where will it end ?
Save us from good deeds !!!!!!
>>>One of the inspectors, Linda Desruisseaux, said that one of the six liked to taunt her by saying, Linda, guess what youre not going to do today write tickets.>>>>
Mild taunt... perhaps,
Harassment??? LOL
"Linda, guess what youre not going to do today write tickets."
Oh, the humanity.
I dunno. Usually, if someone tells me they're going to make it unnecessary for me to complete a significant amount of paperwork, I wouldn't classify that as harassment.
A great example of citizens standing up to over-bearing, trough-feeding political pigs.
This is how local governments confiscates money. They not only rely on violations, they seek them out. Here in NY State, Towns and Villages routinely set up traffic stops to check for expired inspection stickers or registrations. The police who do this are ALWAYS paid overtime.
I was stopped two weeks ago for failing to have my new 2012 car re-inspected. The fine was $50, the surchage to the local government was $85 making the total bill $135! This is going on all over and is a pure abuse of trust and power.
You live in NY. That explains it all. Not that police everywhere don't take relish in enforcing these endless useless regulations - gotta keep that ticket quota up.
The Nerve !
The HORROR !
Off with the peasant's head, and give that tissue-skinned a full PTSD pension !
This isn't a random act of kindness kind of group. They are going beyond putting money in the meters. They are more like harassing the meter workers to make a larger point. If you watch the video you will hear a freaky OWS type saying that he only uses the first names of the workers in his "publications".
There is more to this.
insert 'apparatchick'
I have an issue with the stalking the parking enforcement people but no problem with them randomly walking around and feeding meters. I remember seeing people do that in DC and in Arlington too.
ban quarters. if it prevents just one nervous ticket writer, it's worth it.
Beautiful, just beautiful! I love it!
And they are true images of the legendary Robin Hood, not the myth of Robin Hood stealing from the rich and giving to the poor but the ancient portrayal of him as taking from unauthorized tax collectors and giving it back to the people.
Is it just Parking Inspectors, or should this be all government employees when faced with their obligation to perform tasks that most people find unpleasant or un-needed? Just think if Nancy Pelosi had to follow such a job rule...
And Parking Inspector? Seems pompous. I wonder if the Beatles would have done, "Hector, Lovely Parking Inspector" if that job title existed back in the day.
We need Coolhand Luke and his pipe cutter.
So throw a penalty flag for taunting already! Good grief Charlie Brown, taunting? Is that what we have come to to worry about taunting in that we have to file a lawsuit that has far more reaching implications on how many amendment to the Constitution?
Everybody in this country needs to put their adult pants on! So what if they are taunting, there is nothing, I repeat, NOTHING, in the Constitution about a right to guard against being offended.
I am sure that I am not alone in that some of the points of the Occupy weirdos were in fact Tea Party points but their delivery was stupid and counterproductive. I will support anyone who sticks it back to any government bureaucracy provided it is in a non-violent way and I will defend their right to say anything they will in that process. What I will not defend if they engage in any actions to get their point across that intrudes on anyone else like storming an office with the intent on disrupting other peoples access and business.
The yoots may seem like Occupy troublemakers, but if they are targeting bureaucracies with mischief (adding money to parking meters) and making it obvious to everyone why, including the meter maids, then have at it. As far as the one saying they were getting heart palpitations, maybe she/he is not up to the job of life. Did you ever consider these meter maids could care less what you think on any given day, in uniform or not?
"I fart in your general direction."
"Don't follow leaders/Watch your parking meters"
My thoughts exactly.
Recently there was a thread about shortened yellow-lights, to induce tickets from red-light cameras.
Are these parking meters digital? If they are do they keep accurate time or do they run fast?
this is the part that will really get them in trouble. wait til disney hears about it.
Parking meters = parking tax collected with the same zeal as the IRS targets conservatives for audit.
I got a 20 dollar ticket at 6:00pm for being at one of them. The meters are supposed to stop at 5:00 when people got out of work, but they found that keeping some until 6 would nab a nice cash shot because most of us have no idea that they would have done something like this.
The fact that they think they are Robin Hood is hilarious. These left wing blogger morons vote for Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham every election.
As for the hatred of parking meters I'm ambivalent. Should we tax everyone or just people who can't tell time?
These Robin Hood guys are RACIST!
Consider, though: if there were no parking meters, how hard would it be to find a place to park?
These are refugees from the 'Free State Project'...Keene is their 'headquarters' for all intents and purposes, since the influx of rude/arrogant New Yorkers (spit) has muted their influence in the rest of the state. 'Free State', my *ss...more government regulation in Red Hampshire than I have seen anywhere.
This is Communism folks. Backwards reasoning to confuse citizens.
Maybe Americans are so uneducated that they have no idea what Communism even is.
Most Americans have been told that anybody using the word Communism are Nuts, Loons,
and Crazy insane political hacks who are dangerous and must be ignored or stopped.
They are being told this in Schools, Colleges and in the biased Media.
Keene is a communist out post in Western NH. There is an ongoing war between the commies at Keene State and the local politburo in City Gov and a fairly large Libertarian population.
Now, now...can't damage the self-esteem of your haughty and arrogant New England government overlords...they are 'parking inspectors'. ROTFLMAOPIMP!
What we have here, is failure, to communicate.
failure to communicate.....
Three full time ticket writers for a city of only 23,000? That seems excessive! Each one must clear his cost in tickets each year. That is an insane amount of tribute collected from only 23000 people . No wonder they're revolting!
Sounds like jist ol fashion Thugery to me.
the criminals are in control.
I haven't gotten a parking ticket in probably 8 years or so, but that's only because I got so many of them so consistently that I decided I just HAD to make sure I had plenty of quarters in my pocket whenever I had a job in the grinding, traffic-clogged burg of FT. LEE, NEW JERSEY, which was very often , since I had a bunch of regular customers who had various Real Estate there. There would be one scrawny little 60ish woman who would visit and re-visit cars along the business district strip, and make sure to get there THE MINUTE the meter expired. There are ALWAYS meters that don't work, that swallow your quarters, and happen also to be the only vacant meters in the immediate area,leaving you with the choice of just taking your chances or driving around for ten minutes until you can find another meter reasonably close to where you have to go. This is in a town
which built a VAST public parking lot, using taxpayer dollars, in the middle of the business district, manned by automatic machines that require you to punch in your parking space number, feed the appropriate # of quarters, receive your little ticket, and place it in your windshield where the meter maid can see it. In best Big Gov tradition, your tax dollars are being used directly to punish, fine and MAKE YOU PAY AND PAY AGAIN. A self-enclosed circle of futility for the taxpayer, which is enough to make anyone crazy, and very very pissed off over time, because there is NOTHING behind it except extortion, and the funding of more and more
"projects" like this, which serve as successful examples of
the stranglehold they have citizens in.
We saved you from the kings tariffs. Robin Hood and his Merry Men. "
THIS is why the town is mad. They HATE it when we stop being sheep.
I agree with ya on KEENE. It seems our state has been in a tug of war for awhile now, red, blue no red wait blue.
Maybe the voter id law will help to solve that.
EXCELLENT post, especially the subtle point about OWS.
(which group, by the way, faded into obscurity rather than gathered steam, because they were alternately owned/disowned
by whichever Interest Group could exploit their thoroughly confused message.) You're onto something.
it's funny how various parts of the country treat their citizens so different.
Here in the Texas town I live in not only is all downtown street parking free (with a two hour limit) but the business owners have banded together and formed an organization that makes additional improvements to the area like free parking lots and access to a free shuttle that travels around downtown to make it easier to patronize various downtown businesses while only having to park once.
Ehen I was a member of the Exchange Club, a national service club, our local secretary, a retired banker, was provided with a budget line item for meter change, which he would put into expired meters where the cars had out of state license plates.
He would then insert into their wiper a card that told the story of our city (York, PA), and of our service club.
You're right, but keep in mind that parking meters have a function that goes way beyond just raising revenue with the meters. In a commercial district, the main purpose of a parking meter with a time limit is to ensure that the parking spaces are vacated frequently — thereby allowing customers to patronize local businesses without getting hindered by local residents (or employees of local businesses) parking in the same spaces for hours or days at a time.
If I keep up my outspoken public dissent against this administration, I will probably be on a chain gang somewhere.
I am no longer a conspiracy theorist. Im a conspiracy factualist.
seeing your name I though you might be interested
1. The first was in 1981 as I was headed to Ft. Bliss. I put money in the meter and set my stop watch. I return 5 minutes before the expiration, the meter maid had just written the ticket. I point to the meter that still had 5 minutes on it, but the expired flag was there. She just shrugged her shoulders about the meter being broken.
2. I went to New Orleans in 2002, stayed at a Comfort Inn near downtown with valet parking so never parked on a city block. 2 years later I got a parking ticket in the mail with late fees totaling over $150. I can only guess the scumbag Valet Parkers just tore up the ticket. I got NO to rescind the late fees, but still had to pay the fine.
So I am all for these Robin Hoods.
EVERYTHING I've been made aware of about Texas in recent years has made me positively LUST to move there at some point when we can swing it. There is simply NO WAY OUT of the stranglehold of high taxes here in this NY/NJ corridor.
Everywhere you turn, you pay through the teeth for the "privilege" of being inconvenienced. The George Washington
Bridge,for example, now costs FOURTEEN DOLLARS TO CROSS, all in order to get into NYC and be subjected to more of Mayor Bloomberg's fiefdom. The GWB serves as a prime example of
Big Gov in action: decades ago, its initial tolls were put in place only to (presumably) pay for its construction and maintainence, and were a few bucks-—predictably, they have risen year by year from the 2 or 3 dollars they were when I moved here in 1985 to the $14 they are today.
That is exactly the meaning of my freeper name. Most conspiracies are due to overactive imaginations. Others bear a little deeper research. Was 9/11/01 an inside job? Nope. Was 9/11/12 a cover up to hide incompetence, or worse, dereliction of duty that cost 4 American lives? Yep.

Keeping kids healthy is a family effort. Helping kids understand the importance of a healthy lifestyle -- at an early age – can create the right start for a healthier future.
Parents are a great influence, and can use tools like immunizations, exercise and a carefully managed diet to help prevent certain childhood diseases, illnesses and obesity.
Where to start?
These and other simple actions can help your child make good, independent decisions about their health. BlueCross can help even more with information, tips, reminders and kid-focused activities that promote better health.
Childhood obesity is an epidemic in the U.S. today. With more than 30 percent of children between ages of 6 and 11 classified as overweight, and 15 percent of those classified as obese, it's time to sound the alarm.
Getting regular check-ups is a huge part of maintaining your child's health. Immunizations are too, when given to help prevent certain diseases from developing. Here are some guidelines on what to plan for and expect.
Nutrition is the fuel for growing children and mealtime is the perfect opportunity to encourage a well-balanced diet. So, fill it with nutritious foods and promote healthy eating habits.
