Gateway Proposes Camping Fee Increase for 2015, Parking Fee Increase for 2017
The comment period is open from November 19 to January 20! Please email us at email@example.com! For more information, check out our Parking Fee FAQs page or this brief PowerPoint.
Would Be First Fee Increase in Several Years
Gateway National Recreation Area is proposing to increase camping and parking fees in the park. Camping fees at all three units would increase from $20 to $30 on Memorial Day, 2015.
Proposed 2017 Parking Fees at Sandy Hook
Proposed 2017 Parking Fees at Riis Beach
This would be Gateway's first parking fee increase in several years. Fees last increased at Sandy Hook and Jacob Riis Park in 2012. This will be the first increase in camping fees since we began our camping program. Visitors with Senior or Access Passes would be charged half price for parking fees, as they are now.
Parking fees charged at Sandy Hook and Jamaica Bay Units are authorized through the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act of 2004 (FLREA), which allows 80% of the revenue collected at Gateway to remain in the park.
Why is Gateway doing this, and why now?
Proposing a fee increase is not a step the park takes lightly, especially during these economically trying times. Many families cannot afford to take vacations in distant locations. They depend more than ever on nearby parks a as places where they can get away.
This fee increase will help Gateway maintain the services that visitors expect and deserve: clean restroom and shower facilities and keeping visitors safe and resources protected. We are also able to use this money to do things like renovate the Ryan Visitor Center at Floyd Bennett Field and to add a web-cam to the Sandy Hook Lighthouse.
Visiting non-beach areas will remain free. These include: the Sandy Hook Lighthouse, Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, Fort Wadsworth in Staten Island, Fort Hancock at Sandy Hook and Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens. These will all remain free.
Even with the proposed increases, a visit to Gateway's beaches will remain within the means of everyday Americans. Our proposed parking fees are comparable to fees charged by other beaches in the area. Where many beaches charge an entrance fee per person, Gateway charges a parking fee per vehicle. The more people in the vehicle, the more you save. Biking or walking into these beach areas will remain free. Take a look at our Parking Fee FAQs page and judge for yourself.
What can I do?
Gateway held two public meetings this month; January 5 at the Sandy Hook Chapel and January 13 at the Ryan Visitor Center. If you weren't able to attend, please take a look at the presentations. Remember you can comment until January 20, 2015.
We also invite you to e-mail us to submit written suggestions, comments and concerns online or write us at the following address:
Office of the Superintendent
Gateway will accept comments from Wednesday, November 19, 2014 through Tuesday, January 20, 2015. We will consider all opinions before making a final decision.

This spring brought my work to the 56th International Biennale di Venezia, which has been very exciting! My project Mujeres Que Crean/ Women Who Create was featured as part of the exhibition We Must Risk Delight: Twenty Artists from Los Angeles curated by Elizabeta Betinski of BardoLA. The exhibition, which is a collateral exhibition of the Venice Biennial and is in collaboration with the Accademia di Belle Arti, featured an exciting roster of artists; Alexandra Grant, Sherin Guirguis, Amir Fallah, Stas Orlovski, Alexis Zoto, Natasia Prosenc-Stearns, Jameson Carter, Tania Batura, Carole Silverstein, Shizu Saldamando, Rebecca Niederlander, Margaret Griffin, Ben Jackel, and Brandy Eve Allen, Robbie Conal, Tony De Los Reyes, Mark Licari, and Kenturah Davis. The exhibition is being held at the Magazzini del Sale ( a 500 year old salt warehouse where you can still taste the salt on the walls!) is sponsored in part by the Accademia di Belle Arti, one of the oldest art schools in the world, founded in 1750 by Giambattista Piazetta and its first president was none other than Tiepolo. If you find yourself visiting the Venice Biennial this year (it goes on until the end of November) please go visit We Must Risk Delight, located at the Magazzini del Sale on the Dorsaduro side of Venice.
Narco Venus and Other Stories opens at Meridian Gallery in San Francisco on May 29th, from 5-7 PM. I'm very excited about this exhibition as it will be my first solo exhibition in the Bay Area in several years and will feature the body of work I've been developing, which explores the role of women in narco-trafficking and the relationship to the environment, both as metaphor and as a natural resource. The exhibition will feature paintings, drawings, and video.
I'm excited to announce that one of my pieces will be up at LACMA as part of the upcoming exhibition Fútbol: The Beautiful Game, which opens on February 2, 2014. Curated by Franklin Sirmans, Fútbol examines the sport's global impact on politics and art, as well as the unique forms of nationalism the beautiful game incites (and enables) in cultures across the world. My own contribution was the result of a very special collaboration between LACMA and Self Help Graphics & Art, where five artists were invited to develop limited-edition serigraphs by Self Help Graphics' Executive Director Evonne Gallardo. After creating the initial design, I worked with master printer Joe Alpuche and SHG's very own Joel Garcia to develop the film, edit it, color match the inks, and print the edition.
The other artists in Self Help's limited edition series include Amitis Motevalli, Nery Gabriel Lemus, Dewey Tafoya, and Ana Serrano. All great artists that I'm glad to be associated with!
My own print focuses on Colombian soccer player Andrés Escobar, who scored an auto-goal in the 1994 World Cup that eliminated Colombia from the competition. The match was against the US men's national team, and was played here at Los Angeles' own Rose Bowl.
Upon his return to Colombia, Andrés was shot dead outside of a popular nightclub by persons who may (or may not?) have been associated with gambling and drug cartels. Part "fan" banner, and part memorial to Andrés, the piece explores the overlap between the worlds of soccer and narco-trafficking in Colombia. Its colors are taken from the Colombian flag and football kit, while the imagery is taken from Colombia's "natural" landscape - birds, drug-producing plants, and, of course, doomed football stars. Overall, I'm incredibly grateful to have been able to make this piece and show it in this show, as it extends two ongoing bodies of work of mine: Asesinados United and Garden Heads. Asesinados United is a mixed media work that uses t-shirts to remember murdered and assassinated footballers. In Garden Heads, potentially decapitated male heads float in tropical landscapes in watercolor and pastel drawings that remix portraiture and botanical illustration, while reconsidering the usually "hard" documentary imagery coming out of the drug war. Overall, I'm deeply interested in finding new ways to depict and think about the toll the drug wars have had on not just people, but the natural environment in which the drugs themselves are cultivated.

How do I set up Sales Tax to be automatically calculated?
Article Number: 37 | Rating: 4/5 from 1 votes | Last Updated: Sat, Mar 28, 2015 at 2:19 PM
Important: If you wish to collect sales tax on your sales through DPW PayPal links, you must set up your sales tax rules in DPW even if you already have them set up in your PayPal account.
Setting your sales tax rules up in DPW is necessary, if you wish to collect appropriate sales tax when you sell using either DPW Auctions and DPW PayPal links. To be clear, collecting sales tax is not a DPW requirement, as it is none of our business, instead, it is your local taxing jurisdiction that may require it. DPW only facilitates the collection of sales tax, if you set up the appropriate tax rules, but does not provide for submitting the collected taxes. Nor does DPW report to any taxing authority.
To set up your Sales Tax Rules, select the Set up my Sales Tax Rules from your my DPW Links menu at the top of the website.
Sales Tax in the US
In the US, you only need to collect sales tax when you sell to buyers in the same state in which you live or operate your business.
Although it may vary from state to state, in the US, one generally creates two rules:
The rules are not additive. So, for example, if your state has a sales ta rate of 8% and your zip-code (range) has a rate of 8.5%, then you would enter a rate of 8% for your state rule and a rate of 8.5% for your zip code rule(s).

Assassin's Creed 4 live action trailer shows off pirates and punch ups
Avast ye hearties
FRENCH GAMES HOUSE Ubisoft has released a short live action trailer for Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag.
A lot of the game takes place at sea and most of the live action here does too. The live action trailer is a bit of a mystery since it does not provide a look at gameplay, or more specifically in-game play, but it does provide an idea of what to expect.
In this case you should expect to stand on a boat, jump off a boat, see boats and fire and go underwater.
"In the cruel world of pirates, men fight for their dreams. But few achieve their goals, Others will drown into darkness, Thin is the line between chaos and freedom," says Ubisoft. "And the sea can either be your throne, or your tomb. The choice is yours."
The trailer is pretty exciting. We see limbs separated from bodies and our hero standing on top of a flag pole.
A voiceover tells us that life is about choices and smacking people. "We have a choice to stand not kneel. To oppose not obey. To live not just exist," it says before introducing the Defy text that gives the trailer its name.
There are some short clips of what could be in-game smackery, we can't be sure. The trailer closes with a glimpse of the many consoles that the game will call home and the promise of a 1 November release date.
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag will be released for the Nintendo Wii U, PC, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4 and PS3. µ

Good route, but rock at Otay is pretty slick even with chalk. Belay area can be muddy sometimes.
First move is the crux, after that crimper slab to top.
Rated a 10+ by the guide, seems a little more like an 8 or 9.
Good little problem, thin grimps and smearing. The Amp is a great place to work on near vert slab technique, but watch your landings on the uphill side.

Lots O'Fish!
From the Super Mario Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Lots O'Fish is much like the level Lots O'Jellyfish!, as it is an underwater cavern in Yoshi's Story. Although partly above water, most of it contains dangerous enemies including Sea Anenomes, Cheep Cheeps, Sea Cacti, and the Snorkle Fish.
Other Information[edit]
Storybook Segment[edit]
The deep wide ocean would not be an easy swim, but the yoshis dove in. For the first time in their lives, the yoshis swam to the ocean floor. After reaching the shore, the yoshis found their story coming to a close.
Names in other languages[edit]

My success rate with horticulture is hit or miss. Last year my garden deteriorated into a state of decaying, exploding chaos. I have no clue what happened. Whatever it was it was ugly. I'm positive my Dad is in Heaven shaking his head in dismay. He taught me better than that! I just managed to forget critical elements.
Many of us have fond memories of our grandfathers… the stories, the candy, the fishing lessons and life lessons we learn while visiting them are things we treasure and carry with us throughout our lives. But as family dynamics have changed, more and more grandfathers are finding the old adage of "spoil them rotten and send them home" no longer a reality. In fact, around 2.4 million grandparents across the United States are now raising their grandchildren.
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Eighty-six students from The Carol Martin Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science in Kentucky, including Trimble resident Jenna Rowlett, are involved in some form of summer learning and features travel and study abroad opportunities for 54 Gatton Academy students.

Special to The Trimble Banner
This past school year 10 Trimble County High School students attended classes at the Jefferson Community Technical College Carrolton Campus, allowing the students to participate in college classes and earn dual credits.
"We had to be very diligent in our studies, managing our time in order to keep up our good grades," stated student Kallie Kaufman. "It was much different and more time consuming than high school classes."
The old adage, "Truth is Stranger Than Fiction," played out while I was eating breakfast one morning in Lynchburg, Tenn., (home of Jack Daniels Distillery and that might explain this story) sitting in one of those quintessential coffee shops that dot the town square of nearly every midwestern and southern town.
My grandfather sold insurance by day and in his spare time he was an artist.
He mostly painted clowns -- scary clowns.
A few of his paintings hung in our house, which meant as a kid I had major heebie jeebies nearly all the time, especially at night.
When you're a kid getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and you know scary clowns are staring at you from the walls in the hallway, well, you grow up neurotic and afraid.
June 12, 1986 (30 Years Ago)
The Kentucky Public Service Commission, recognizing Louisville Gas and Electric Company's need for a date certain to use for planning and budgeting in connection with the electric generating unit that the Company is building in Trimble County, has found that July 1991 "is appropriate for these purposes." But the PSC said it will continue to review and monitor the need for the Trimble County plant. LG&E had scheduled the unit for completion in mid-1988, but the PSC last fall ordered a delay of at least three years.
I wanted to be your Attorney General to build a better, safer state for Kentucky families.
Unfortunately, too many Kentuckians are calling my office, upset and devastated after being scammed. They need help in recovering thousands of dollars they have sent to a con artist.
These con artists are persuasive. Anyone can fall for their lies and threats.
Just recently, a senior citizen in Elizabethtown was defrauded out of more than $50,000 in an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Scam, from someone claiming to be an IRS agent.

Released: Sep 01st, 2001
Running Time: 134
Director: Rodney Moore
Company: Odyssey Group Video
Cast: Rodney Moore, The Husband, Kristina Black, Claudia Adkins, Caroline Pierce, Ashley Brooks, Steve Austin, Queeny Love, Dominica Leoni
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Rodney or Oral, whichever works in your shop.
More Rodney Moore in this two-hour-plus go-round, with Moore doing yeoman work in five of the six scenes. Some wit as well, like when p-o'd wife Ashley Brooks kicks out philandering husband The Husband and then vows that she's gonna fuck the bejeezus out of the next guy she sees - no, that's not it, it's when she's sweatily bouncing on Rodney's dick and the husband comes in and apologizes and she forgives him, panting, and even offers to seal the deal by blowing him, which she does. Later, Caroline Pierce is traipsing in a gown through a wooded area by a brook and we see Rodney and he looks into camera and confesses that he couldn't think of a scenario so what the hell and he just walks up and asks her if she wants to fuck.
All the scenes and performers are strong. The tape does seem overlong and could have used some pruning, but this may not be a problem for your customers.

It's Day Five of "Where's My Money, Greg?" Crisis
It's day five of captivity for the $300 I gave Greg Nickels. I've asked for the money back because it was obtained under false pretenses. I donated it to Greg's re-election campaign because he supported the monorail project.
C'mon, Greg. When your boy Casey Corr morphed overnight into an anti-monorail hack, Natasha Jones, spokesperson for the Seattle Monorail Project, demanded that Corr return the $100 she had contributed to his campaign. Corr returned the money immediately.
I would like to think that the Nickels campaign is as efficient and ethical as the Corr campaignor at least has a similar capacity for shame. It's basically the same staff at both campaigns, so what's taking so long?

And so we now descend to mudslinging and partisan attacks. I guess it still works, Karl.
When he fucking STUPID, STUPID, STUPID-ly caved on the fucking offshore fucking drilling fucking bullshit. That was the dumbest fucking stupid fucking thing the Dems have done all year. By saying "Ok let's do SOME of it." they conceded the argument to the GOP. They should have stuck to the "They already have tons of area available to drill!" argument. Idiots.
John McCain...is seen as a stronger manager of the economy
Need we any more evidence that Americans are TOO FUCKING STUPID to deserve a vote? They think this old, confused, filthy fucking rich old codger is better for the economy?
Fuck Seattle, I'm moving to Canada. I can't take it anymore!
It's frickin August.
Wake me in October.
But I can't take another lost election! This should be easy! I'm going to crawl under my desk and cry now.
Buck up Dan! The polls are sorta all over the place. McCain spent tons of money on his "Celebrity" attack ads, while Obama chose to play rope-a-dope and be invisible for awhile. There is waaaay too much of a campaign left to get all panicky about a Zogby (read, spectacularly unreliable) poll.
Remember that e-mail I sent when he became the nom? Yeah. I was right. Sigh. I always am.
Obama/Hillary. Total win.
Much agreed. ::brushes up on French::
@7: Shut the fuck up you cretin.
Oh Canada, PLEASE annex Western Washington.
Dan, at this point in 2004, Kerry was leading Bush in most polls. If anything, McCain is the Kerry here.
You said it yourself: American's like our politicians to be a little vicious and Obama has been defending himself but he hasn't wanted to fight back. If he wants to win he had better grow a pair and attack McCain.
That and the fact the liberal 527's haven't run any ads attacking McCain is fucking killing him right now. (WHERE is MoveOn.org now?!?!?)
And for you Hillary hold outs? If McCain does win, it will be VERY hard for the Democrats to bounce back in 2012, first the economy will probably have recovered so the Dems will not have that to run on. (Even if just a percieved recovery) Then if McCain draws down enough troops from Iraq (and that would be the smart move for him if he wins) well, even Hillary is screwed at her chances.
A McCain win will be almost a death blow for the Democratic Party on the national level.
Bitter? Maybe if you weren't busy sucking Obama's balls and licking his musky anus you would have seen something like this happening. Be sure to blame everyone else. You always do.
@13 - Moveon ads? Are you serious? No! No! Keep Moveon away, for God's sake! Seriously, can you point to a campaign they've thrown their weight into that has won? This is the organization that thought buying a full-page ad to bash the Gallup poll was a good investment.
@14: No, Obama will still win, he (and the rest of the party) are just making it a lot harder than it needs to be. Your response was just a completely useless exercise in public self-congratulation, and nobody even knows who the fuck your stupid ass is, so your post is like triple fucking retarded.
Anyone who has been watching the distance running events in the Olympics knows exactly what Obama is doing. He is staying just behind McCain, because he knows that he can smoke him in the last lap. Just wait until after the convention.
Anthony Hecht knows who I am. He knows who EVERYONE is.
And fuck you, Dave M. Your penis is small and your momma is fat. BURN!
Margin of Error? +/- 3.5% So McCain is up by 1.5 points...maybe.
Also, read the questions that this poll was based on. Very leading and negative to Obama. The polling sample was less then 1,100 registered voters. Not a bad sample, but not really a great poll either. Relax.
C'mon kids, let's get through the conventions first - formalities though they may be - before we all start updating our passports and brushing up on our "lingua Canadien".
McCain has been spending money at a furious rate just to get this much of a bump, meanwhile Obama is raking in about 60% more in donations on average, and still has a lot of that left in the bank.
I fully expect to see his campaign start spending some of that immediately AFTER the conventions - why spend $$ when the networks will give him oodles of FREE publicity?
Daily Kos says calm down:
Let's not get our britches in a twist just yet.
Sorry 14, but 16 is spot on!
Worth reading:
The "Loopy" Zogby Polls
a mccain supporter in the office printed this poll out for me this morning...
my faith in humanity is slowly burning out.
You cite the polling, Dan, and then suddenly lay the blame at Obama's feet without explanation. I'm not disputing or agreeing--just asking how or what Obama has done that has morphed him in John Kerry?
Or are you just saying he's Kerry because he's sliding in the polls?
Explain please. Use extra sheets if necessary.
Dan it is a Zogby poll. Zogby is the least reliable pollster working today. ALL other pollsters still have McCain down.
@18....I know who you are....your style is very easy to spot.
Like I said, Obama has no one to blame for this other than himself. He stopped being and doing the things that made him popular to capture the center and lost a whole lot of support doing it.
Once he caved on FISA he lost me and with a host of other stupid decisions it is obvious that he has lost many others as well.
Ok, now commence in attacking me and the other people who have watched Obama move away from the things he said he stood for while he continues to sink like a rock.
If he loses this election, will you still think he can do no wrong?
The liberal 527s are all broke because Obama demanded that contributions go directly to his campaign rather than to outside groups. MoveOn.org closed their 527 earlier this year. I'm not saying that's good or bad, but that's where they are now.
As I have said before, the Dem's have tried to placate the middle; something they have been doing for a long time since they don't want to appear too "socialist". This is their problem. They try and appease the middle and then look like they don't take a strong stance.
Dem's need to learn from the GOP, they need rally the base by being over the top Left Wing. This has worked for the GOP and WILL work for the Dem's. The need to strongly say why their policies are better for the American people and that the "middle man" thing is bullshit. They need to say "this ship is going the wrong way, we can't just 'adjust the steersing' we need to turn it around". They need to show backbone and strength.
And they don't. EVER. And that is why we have tight races with the GOP, and that is why we lose. Don't blame America, blame the bad tactics of the Democrats.
The "wait til October" crowd is right, but it still makes me nuts that Obama isn't ahead by 70 points right now.
The fact that McCain is seen as the better manager of the economy in this poll, and in no others, is good news -- it means Zogby either over-polled or over-weighted a lot of Republican dead-enders, and makes the overall results more suspect in context.
NO you goddamn morons, WE CAN'T WAIT UNTIL OCTOBER. ARE YOU NUTS?!?!?!
Goddamnit. I was out of this country during the 2004 election, and from overseas I couldn't understand why Kerry lost.
Now I get it. You all think Obama can make up lost ground in 30 days?!?!?! Are you joking me??????? He needs to get a substanial lead by the end of September, and then keep it. I swear Will in Seattle...I love you but this is some serious business. We can't waste one second.
So, Johnny, you're sticking to your ideology, and either voting for someone other than Obama or not voting for anyone for President? Explain.
@33, I TOTALLY agree with you. This is called a fight to November 4 and you have to fight EVERY day; not just in October.
And again, if Obama does not win, enjoy not four but EIGHT years of more GOP rule in the White House. (Sorry, but it is nearly impossilbe to out a sitting President and if McCain does not survive his first term his VP will get the "sympathy" vote that will carry him on to an election win of his own, (see Johnson 1964, Truman 1948, Coolidge 1924, Teddy Roosevelt 1904).
And how do you think we would bode with a President Jindal?
Those who deny the downward trend are simply delusional, what me worry types.
HEre's what Obama has done to create this downward trend.
1. No unity with HRC folks. There is a segment, some polls say 25%, who aren't buying into Obama campaign. You can rant about this and be pissed about this and think they're all a bunch of racists, or think she's penis-less bitch while Barack's caucus is bigger, you can be more logical (like me) and try to tell them it's in there interest to vote for OBama but guess what:
it ain't working.
What would work: make HRC VP. Duh. 18 million votes, strong on economy, obviously prepared to debate and to be pres and she's not offered VP? And the theme is unity?
What a stupid move.
2. He took a vacation in Hawaii. WTF? Arrogant.
3. He needs to sharpen up that economic attack/framing and tell Wallmart shoppers in ten words or less how he will improve their lives.
I hear he's running sharp economic ads in key states. Great! But at the national level the MSM is all a twitter about VP selections and ohbygod he said "he" today that means blah blah this means he is not
controlling his message or framing the debate to get more votes right now.
Shoulda made those economic ads the whole national conversation.
4. HE's doing good stuff with voter reg. to chagne how things turn out in GA VA NC etc. but why not even more?
Where's the big move to take all us supporters here in Washington on a freedom ride to GA? or at least NV? to register voters?
Where's the pictures of black and white volunteers in Georgia harmoniously organizing to register voters?
He seems to be ignoring many states like Arkansas where the demo party is pleading, pleading with him to come visit and set up an office. He needs to reach both the black voters in these southern states and the white voters and if he picks a Biden or a Kaine or a Birch Evans Bayh III or Sebelius it doesn't really help all that much.
Gee, who got the white voters in the primaries -- wouldn't want to pick her -- after all, she didn't vote for OBama in the primaries nor hid her followers -- who would want their votes, they're a buncha disgusting dogpatchers and rednecks. They have mullets, they're fat, they have pit bulls, they aren't college educated, they're dumb and stupid. They're trailer park trash. "Let's try to win the election without them!"
Fucking brilliant. They plus the HRC holdouts are the votes we need. I don't want a little 2% victory either btw we should gbe having a huge seeping change election victory and the Obama team is doing what Kerry and all the other Democratic losers have done:
-fail to connect on economic issues with Archie Bunkers in the north and midwest
-fail to connect on economic issues with dogpatchers and trailer park whites in the south
a/k/a swing voters. The failure to connect does seem to come from a coastal, cultural elitism and disconnect that the GOP explits with its wedge politics.
It's very simple, really. It's the same pattern by which the GOP has won presidential elections since 1968.
...And once we've all finished wringing our hands about this poll, then we have to get off our asses and do something to get this man elected. Give money, volunteer, canvass, phonebank, or just talk to your undecided or independent-voting friends and family.
WE must act, and act now.
WE have to make this happen.
OM put it best @30. Unfortunately the collective wail of fear from all the hand-wringers in the Democratic party whenever a cadidate takes a stand on a progressive issue overwhelms, and we're left with a candidate who is neither inspiring, progressive, or creative. All we're left with is a shell of a person who sounds an awful lot like the Republican he's supposed to be trying to beat. When your goal is to emulate the other side, it shouldn't be surprising that people choose the genuine article.
uh, can you guys refrain from panicking everytime the polls change to the slightest degree. It's AUGUST, pre-convention.
Also, I don't believe that "undecided" voters have much sway. I mean, in reality, how many actual people sit in their little houses and ponder on the strengths and minuses of each presidential nominee? About 12, I'm guessing.
A third of the country are hardcore Dems/Liberals. A third of the country are hardcore Repubs/Conservatives. The middle third are the "sometimes" voters, who if they're charged up about something, will actually get their asses off the couch to vote; they're probably pretty much split 50/50 whether they're Dems or Repubs. What really determines elections, is how keyed up those lazy voters are and which ones get their butts to the polls to vote. Of course the problem this year is that you have a huge number of young people and minorities charged up for Obama, but you also have a lot of racists who'll vote to keep the black guy from winning...
!!!!! ;-) !!!!!
where can we see state by state, electoral college predicting polls? Are there any, or do the polls already weigh their results according to electoral votes per state? I'm a statistical dum dum.
oh, and there's a complete moratorium on "Oh No! If the Republicans Win, I'm Moving to Canada/the Netherlands/Cloud CuckooLand"
That's some tired, cliche ridden bullshit.
And NONE of you ever do it...
Did I really see the word "musky" @14?
So, who is i love meeee, @40 and elsewhere? Chelsea Alvarez-Bell? Poe?
When did Barack Obama morph into John Kerry in skinnier ties? It happened over the last several years, when liberals sat around and did nothing (or actively participated) while the mainstream press trashed one major Democrat after another. If you don't think that the sustained, baseless character attacks on Gore, Dean, Kerry -- and, yes, on Bill and Hillary Clinton during and since the primary -- have had any effect on Obama's electability now, you are naive.
Check out Maureen Dowd's column today! Obama is now a "glib pretty boy," "skinny," and "twig legs." Of course, in her weird fantasy, she puts these words in Hillary's mouth, so liberals (who have been letting her get away with this sort of thing for years) can get satisfaction from pretending this is just a hilarious commentary on what a vile racist Hillary is.
Chelsea Alvarez-Bell. The "!!!'s" didn't give it away?
Just take a look at the caliber of insults @18. That's all the info you need.
You'd have to know nothing about economics-- absolutely nothing-- to believe that McCain will manage the American or global economy well. You'd probably have to be unaware of what dire straights we're in right now.
You all think Obama can make up lost ground in 30 days?!?!?!
Why not? McCain just did, if you believe this poll.
For fuckssake, the guy's been on vacation for a little bit, the convention is coming, the VP announcement is coming, more debates are coming, and it's an eternity from here to November. There was no way Obama, or any candidate, could have sustained the momentum he had indefinitely. His team is just conserving their capital right now.
It's keshmeshi.
good grief. the entire country (planet?) has spent the better part of the past 2 years under the assumption that our next president will be a democrat. one poll fluctuates, showing mccain with a marginal lead, and people lose their shit.
calm the fuck down, people. it's just one poll. and it's august.
Fear not!
We are recruiting guerrilla operatives to infiltrate the West as we speak.
24 40 or Fight!
#28 (I stopped reading at you):
I agree with you completely, but you forgot to call yourself a racist for criticizing Obama. I'm sure some of the #29 - #51 losers have probaly already done that. Remember: if we're not for Obama, we're racist f*cking pigs.
For those of you that voted for Obama, you deserve the President McCain your gonna get. And I will leave the Democratic Party; I'm embarrassed to be associated any more.
ok, don't wait till October.
Stop posting on SLOG and go register voters in Seattle.
And urban cities in Montana.
And Eugene and Portland.
Do something.
Or, start flirting with Canadians.
Gallup's tracking poll still gives Obama a slight lead.
i spent the last week watching Fox News at my parent's (mom wouldn't turn it off). americans are feeble minded chickenshits who can be manipulated by the simplest logical fallacy. the education level of the majority of americans is beyond pitiful.
@TSM: I don't care that it is October. The sheer fact that people are saying "don't worry, don't worry" Worries me.
This is not a slam dunk. We have to work everyday. I send my family emails about why Obama is better than McCain EVERYDAY. As much as possible to get them to change their mind. I email my friends in Florida and Ohio. I post myspace bulletins and blog posts. I am trying. We can't give way one minute. Not one single minute.
i was more afraid when Obama said "Israel is a friend of Israel" which seemed like he is just a Bush in disguise.
Big surprise. Didn't listen about who was the better candidate, now his supporters better fucking deliver.
If McCain wins, I'm moving back to Canada. I'll be taking applications for a husband to move with me--it'll get you into the country easier than trying to immigrate on your own. Applications accepted; references on request.
I came to state the outrageous inaccuracy of Zogby polls, and I'm very glad to see I've been beaten to it many times over.
I observed it in the last presidential campaign. I consider polls useless as anything other than a very general indicator. As such, Gallup would always manage to be reasonably reliable, but Zogby was always spectacularly, stratospherically off base. Like, not just off by some margin of error, but "Where the fuck are you pulling your data from?" wrong.
I'm surprised anyone bothers referencing Zogby anymore. I'd trust a Fox News poll before I'd trust Zogby.
When exactly did Barack Obama morph into John Kerry in skinnier ties?
When he hired the same shitty Democrat advisors that Gore and Kerry hired, which gave him the same shitty futile advice and ran the same shitty futile campaign they've been running for candidates the last 8 years.
Talking about change doesn't mean shit when you surround yourself with people who have you run your campaign with the exact same bullshit that didn't work in 2000 and 2004.
Fuck, you scared me for a minute. Then I read that it was a Zogby poll, the same one that predicted a massive win for Obama in NH, and various other massive travesties. Damn, Dan, gimme a break.

I was anxiously awaiting my arrival into Nova Scotia, after all I had been traveling for a good 9 hours and couldn?t wait to get into town and hit the sack. I figured that I would breeze through immigrations/customs but wow was I wrong. As soon as I arrived at immigrations I immediately noticed that the officer didn?t favor the fact that I was traveling alone, but I didn?t give her questioning any second thought. When entering customs, I immediately knew I was in for interrogation because the officers directed me the complete opposite direction than everyone else. So after finding out that I was targeted for being a single female traveler that was arriving simply for personal reasons (not work), the following conversation occurred?
Red: Me
Blue: Customs lady
Italics: the things I wanted to say but knew better than doing so.
I?m still a bit confused as to why you are interrogating me for traveling alone. Could you please clarify this?
It seems so unnatural for women of your age to be traveling alone.
(I don?t know what planet you?re from lady, but there?s lots of solo travelers out there. Take a look inside a freaking hostel)
I?m a seasoned traveler, ma?am, and I?ve traveled to many countries alone. This is nothing extraordinary for me. When I do travel, I encounter plenty of women my age who travel solo.
(I?m trying to enter Canada for goodness sake, not Afghanistan)
As she searches through everything in my bag?
Who are these magnets for?
I bought them for a friend in Seattle who collects them. (purchased during layover in NJ)
Are you sure you didn?t buy them for someone here in Canada?
Did you fall in love with a guy on the internet that you?re intending on meeting here?
(Come on, I know I?m a VT member ;-) but I have credibility and don?t accuse me of traveling because I?m running after a guy)
Of course I?m not meeting any guy here. Even if I am, ma?am, I am an adult and that?s certainly none of your business if I go about doing so.
Then I still don?t understand why you are here. Are you running away from home and your parents?
Once again, I am an adult and I haven't lived with my parents for years. In fact, I live 2000 miles away from them.
(at this point I?m thinking of harassing the woman about her life history)
So after about 30 more minutes of ridiculous interrogation, she finally begins to wind down off her power trip. She even accuses me of hating the local food because I packed some breakfast bars with me. Preposterous!
I?m not trying to make you feel unwelcome here in Halifax, I?m just amazed that you would fly all this way just for 5 days without some ulterior motive.
My motive is simply to experience the world....
So I guess the point of me sharing this with you is to find out if anyone else has experienced such a circumstance while traveling.

If you thought Nova Scotia security staff was bad, don't fly into Philly. :) I suppose there's one person in every bunch who loathes his or her job. Too bad, it's not a nice way to welcome someone.
sorry to hear of immigration problems but- every country has one of these cranky immigration officers we had the same problem in amsterdam and in minneapolis mn. usa flying from canada--consider it a part of travel in this world of anti trust since 911
Hi was about to complain u say u r about to delete pgs..but what a nightmare customs story-maybe she needed to see yr VT pg as a character reference!we still get hassled in the UK even tho we hav roots but yrs is a classic!Enjoyd yr pg here thx4 the tour!
Wonderful tips! You made my decision whether to go there this September a lot easier...
Greetings from Nova Scotia. Looking forward to meeting you at Baltoberfest. (I'm not as cranky as the Immigrations lady you encountered in Halifax.) Cheers, Afia
This sign is used to indicate the location of a tourist information center. Some are operated by the province, some are run by the town, others are operated by local volunteer or service groups.
It means there is an information booth.
So what would have happened if you had an arab name? I think it is so sad that in just a few years we all have to deal with incidents that would have raised eyebrows in the past, but now try to accept as normal. Poor world.
Damn, didn't know customs in Nova Scotia were at gun point... !!! LOL
Great conversation on your page! My mother wants to take us all to NS for her birthday...I wonder what she'll say to our rag-tag group!

Anyway my name is Steve - born and raised in Grimsby, but made the move to Leeds last February. I like to think I'm an easy-going guy who is friendly, a lot of fun and someone who doesn't take things too seriously. The little things such as saying please and thank you a lot go a long way as compliments cost absolutely nothing.
I am looking for a relationship and I'm attracted to women who are easy-going (just like myself), easy to talk and know have to a good time. Sense of humour in any woman is important too. I do find women with a nice smile always grabs my attention.
I study a part time course in Spanish just because it's always been an ambitious of mine to learn a learn language, hence the reason I've done this and it's something different. I love to travel and spent a few years out in Toronto and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. I manage to see pretty much all the major cities in Canada such as Montreal, Quebec City, Kingston, Vancouver, Victoria and made a few trips over the border to the US. If I won the lottery you'd probably know what I'd do with it. My favourite holiday destination to date I would say is New York and Barcelona.
In my spare time I enjoy going to social events where I can meet interesting new people, play tennis and football, keeping fit, travelling as you may gathered, eating out in nice restaurants, going to the cinema and learning new languages. I recently completed a 10k run in 57 minutes which I'm rather proud of as I haven't jogged in a long time.
Now 2016 has arrived I have a few new years resolutions and one is to own my place, two is to find a new job I'll enjoy for years to come and third is to find the one....that's why I'm on here, sad but true 😄
Also, trying to get more fit by working on my cardio and jogging more often. I recently completed a 10k run in 57 minutes which I'm rather proud of.

One of all time favourite trilogies has to be the Bourne movies. Matt Damon absolutely owns those movies. My music varies but I do have enjoy dance, RNB and bit of cheesy pop now and again.

"I would be shocked if that happens to any of our guys," Light said.
But, says Pitts, it wouldn't be all that stunning for the younger players to either have not gotten the message or ignored it. That has made communicating with them so critical.
"If you're not taught how to do something, the chances you are just going to learn it without help are not very good," he said. "If a kid hasn't been taught how to (ride a bicycle), he's probably never going to do it. He's probably not going to learn on his own."
Pitts knows of players who aren't living as large as they once did, including several who told him their postseason vacations were cut in half or even shelved.
All the players have taken a bit of a financial hit already because of the lockout: NFL teams no longer are paying for their health insurance. Fujita paid $1,900 this month for coverage for his wife and two children. For bigger families, the price is around $2,400 a month.
Yes, Fujita signed a three-year, $14 million free agent contract with Cleveland a year ago, with $8 million guaranteed. He's also played nine seasons, and the league average is about one-third of that.
"We may make a lot of money, but it is for a very short time," said Chiefs linebacker Mike Vrabel, one of 10 players whose names are on an antritrust action against the NFL in a U.S. District Court to stop the lockout. " I have been lucky to be in this game for 14 years, to think about that is crazy.
"The average guy plays 3.4 years, and you have got to make that work."
The 1,900 or so players in the league now must plan to make the numbers work despite potentially not receiving paychecks in 2011; normally, they get paid in each of the 17 weeks of the schedule.
"My financial adviser has told me to put a little more away and to budget here and there a bit more, and I have," Colon said. "You don't want to have to find another job because you were not careful with your money and now the money isn't coming."

From Our Editors
Beneath the Wilshire Galleria, a historical retail plaza whose art-deco façade has become a Koreatown landmark, visitors escape the shopping bustle and quiet their buzzing minds within the tranquil environs of Natura Spa. Separate men's and women's spas invite guests into an assemblage of detoxifying rooms, including dry saunas lined in raw wood and a cold plunge pool framed by speckled tile.
Patrons can prolong their stay by investing in individual spa treatments, during which practitioners trained in traditional Asian techniques coddle muscles with acupressure and foot massage. The spa lends women additional niceties—UV tanning beds enable ladies to bronze their skin, and a mani-pedi station surrounded by stone walls invokes the building's underground feel more pleasantly than having the nail technicians dress as coal miners.

Now remembered for "cheap" special effects and "hammy" acting (two claims I refute utterly!), the series dared to go where few others would even dream of, evolving over it's four seasons to take risks never before seen in television science fiction. For a start, there were few heroes aboard the Liberator - Even freedom fighter Blake himself was a fanatic, prepared to go to extreme lengths to bring down the Federation. The rest of the crew were there for the sake of their own survival, seldom sharing Blake's ideals and motivated by greed or some other less noble instincts. Kerr Avon, as played by Paul Darrow, was an especially cold character - Excellently acted, Avon is truly one of the greatest characters seen in television drama ever.
If you want gloss & flashy effects coupled with slick editing, look elsewhere - But for drama of a quality not seen since, BLAKE'S 7 is the only choice. The only crime this series ever perpetrated was to have a scope & ambition that exceeded its budget. Those with sufficient imagination can realise this and see beyond the visuals at the multi-layered story-telling beneath.
