The road to this park is AWEFUL if you are pulling a trailer of any size. There was a posted blue CAMPING sign at the first turn but then nothing to help you find the park. We missed the first turn and called the park. She had us take the back road. AWEFUL, AWEFUL, AWEFUL AND SCARY. I would never take it again. We finally arrived at the park and the owner had us park at a back-in site but had us park like we were a pull thru. Site was grass and very mushy due to heavy rain. We were very apprehensive but agreed to pull onto the grassy area. We stayed 2 days and took us 5 attempts to get out due to almost getting stuck. The road out of the park is very steep and narrow also. We will NEVER stay at this park again. - FullTimeRVers

Just a so so park but had good access from highway. Activities for children, swimming/fishing pond, and playground. Rate reflects Passport America rate. We stayed just one night. If in the area we would stay again. - User2209

We stayed overnight on a busy holiday weekend. There were lots of activities planned. There was food available for supper and breakfast. There is a big pond for fishing and a nice pool for swimming. Campers were quite close together on very tight roads. - suerover

I am over ten yr user here, seldom moved to comment. But as others noted, stated ppa rate $17.50 by phone, quoted $19.00 on arrival, hard try to up charge to $21. Refused any but phone quote for w/30 E. So placed on unlevel, precarious, edge of a deep dry gulch with the deep water wellhead ON my postage stamp site. Low voltage, barely allowed by my EMS. Huge tree prevented full use of slide out. Only reasonable campground for many miles or I would have declined and would NOT return nor recommend. No OTA TV and to purchase cable requires fhu and the inflated rate it incurs. - Wicked Witch

We weren't informed that our space was water & electric only, and once we got setup tried to get TV no stations. Later we were out and found someone to talk to, they informed us that for $3 more we could get cable. That was not communicated to us. We weren't given a map of the grounds or informed where the showers or restrooms were. The showers, no hooks for your things in the shower, and the water temp is not adjustable. Not impressed, even though the grounds are well kept. - sambasstuff

We chose this park because we are members of Passport America discount camping club. We were in the area and had to drive a little out of our way to find a reasonable rate for a campsite.
The advertised rate was $16/night on the Passport America site. We called to verify availability before arriving but not the nightly rate. When checking in we were told the rate was $18 and that "they" had it wrong on their website.
Now, $2/night is no big deal for a four-night stay, but it just sours the experience when things are not as they are quoted.
We found a site with full hookups and got settled for the night. The next morning at 8 am the pounding started outside our door. Apparently the RV next door was being replaced with a park model trailer. This park is loaded with seasonal units and very few transient sites. Most of the transient sites they have do not include sewer service. You have to ask for that!
Long story short, we were asked to move so they could get the old trailer out and the new one in. You mean they did not know that the day before?
Once we settled in another site we were fine. The Electric service worked fine, the sewer hookup was a 3" service, but was new, and water pressure was good at 60 psi.
We were in site 23 on the end of a row which was good, close to the laundry, but every golf cart in the place paraded by all day long. It was like being in Florida in February.
The campground was off the main highway through Bath NY so if you are in the area, need a spot for the night, and are Passport members, it will get the job done. Just verify the rate as it is subject to change! - Howard Jaros

This park is one of the very best I have ever been to! The sites were level, the staff top notch, the amenities among the best available. If ever I am in this area of the Finger Lakes area of New York I will go out of my way to stay here. And oh, by the way, my two fur babies and their sister really enjoyed the dog park! - Hmuse

We stopped here for one night. They have nice, very long pull-thrus with full hookups. That was perfect as we didn't have to unhook from our travel trailer. They have different types of very long pull-thrus. They gave us one of the regular ones. I wish they offered us one of the big rig sites as those are a little larger and seemed altogether better sites. I think $55 was way too much for what we got. Maybe for families that will use the pools and participate in the activities, it would be worth it, but I doubt it. - Nathalie Bergeron

We paid extra because it was a race weekend at Watkins glen and we couldn't use Passport America. We saw that they had a heated pool so we paid the extra money to stay here. The pool was very cold! Needless to say, we didn't go in. There was no cable TV available at our site ($3 extra) and WiFi was so much per hour or daily rate. It is an older park with mostly permanent trailers, but there were quite a few pull-throughs for overnighters. It's easy on/off I-86 so it was convenient. I don't think we would stay unless we could use Passport America, since their "heated" pool doesn't seem to be heated as advertised. The pool area had a good bit of junk laying around, empty sunblock spray, old socks, etc. - Ginny H

Camp Bell CG is an older facility. This campground is a good base from which to tour the western part of the New York Finger Lakes wine region. The overwhelming majority of units on the premises are seasonal campers and they occupy nearly all sites that have any amount of shade. The sites set aside for transient campers are in a large, grassy open area at the rear of the grounds. Sites here are fairly level side to side and a good many of them are pull-throughs. Interior roads are gravel and in excellent condition. There is no separation between you and your neighbor, however the CG management is thoughtful enough to not put two units next to each other if possible. Check-in was quick. The campground store has basic supplies plus souvenir items. We stayed mid-week and even though there are a good number of other campers here, it is very quiet. There is sometimes a bit of traffic noise from nearby I-86 but we did not find that offensive. Grounds & buildings are clean and well-kept. Sewer is not available so we made use of the bath facilities for showering. Water pressure was not overwhelming but acceptable, with plenty of hot water. The shower stalls could benefit from having a grab bar, plus a small seat to use while changing out of and into your clothing. Fixtures are clean however the showers are in need of repair. One stall had no shelf and a broken clothes hook, a second stall's shelf was in need of repair, and a third stall was missing the plastic knob on the mixer faucet handle (the faucet was usable). Basic WiFi is free, but suffered from periods of very slow loading. You have the option of upgrading connectivity for a nominal fee. Access to the dump station is easy. Not a destination campground but an economical choice if your goal is to explore the area. Rate reflects two in our party. We would stay here again. - RamWagon
Jul 2016 - $30.00
Ed and Carmen are great hosts. Ed recommended great local places to eat.
The sites were level and had great satellite reception. The area for the seasonals was very neat and clean. I wish they had some 50 amp service, and would be glad to pay extra for it, but the price is a good value for every thing you get. - johnwadams

This campground is located in a beautiful and peaceful setting. The owners are wonderful people. I give this park an excellent rating on them alone.
The park has several level pull through sites on gravel. The electric and water utilities are in excellent working condition and properly located. They don't have sewer at site. Owner will pump out full tanks. Each site has grass lawn with fire ring and picnic table. The are several back in sites available also.
There are two large ponds with free peddle boats for campers use. The park also has free WiFi that works quite well.
The owners are constantly working on improvements and maintenance.
They have installed a dump station which was usable on our visit but is still under construction.
The campground is located near several New York State wineries, beautiful Keuka Lake and the picturesque village of Hammondsport. We will go back next summer. - petendoll

A gem in the woods. Entrance road and sites graveled. Sites have W/E only, no dump station (maybe next year). Owner will dump you anytime you want at no charge. Quiet...No TV, No cell, No WIFI. Owners were busy everyday keeping up with the grounds. I'd stay here again, in a New York minute. - maineman
Aug 2012 - $25.00
We camped here in our RV for 5 days. It is an exceptionally clean park. The owners are very helpful and friendly. They have two private ponds for fishing with paddle boats available. It is close to many nice wineries and just outside of Hammondsport. This is a new campground and the owners are steadily adding improvements to what is already a very beautiful, quiet setting. - A Florida Villager

Satisfaction with this campground will depend on what you're looking for. Way off the beaten path, beautiful, very quiet and peaceful, but a long way to get to anything. It consists of grass hillsides with 95% seasonals. The area for short-terms is a sloped and bumpy grass field with no marked spaces, difficult to get level especially on wet grass when blocks keep sliding. We had full hook-ups, all worked well. Verizon phone barely worked (one bar, calls dropped), hotspot didn't work until a mile out of the campground. No over-air tv at all. Good wifi at office but it was too far to walk carrying a heavy laptop. Took a 4-minute drive at 5 mph over rough road to get there. Very nice owner. Laundry is just one household washer/dryer set. Had to drive 15 miles to laundromat in Bath. Would be nice for a weekend getaway if you didn't want tv or need wifi at the site, but for us this place did not work. We will not stay there again. - all4pets
Jul 2014 - $30.00
Nice remote family friendly park. It may have 50-amp sites with sewer, but as weekenders we were not offered one. We had 30-amp and no sewer. However, power was good and weather was nice so no problem. Owner very friendly. Our site was grassy, not perfectly level but we got close enough. Lot of seasonals here but folks are very friendly. Nice lake which dogs was allowed to swim in so she was happy. Good Wi-Fi. We would stay here again if in the area. - Grumpier99

Nice quiet park on a hillside. Steep entry, difficult for some. Mixture of sites, some large, some small. All fairly well kept. That is the positive. The very large negative was the lack of water. No mention of the problems when making reservations, but shown a water schedule after making the payment. The owner said we could fill our own tank, but it probably wouldn't be necessary. However, the schedule was far from accurate. We only had water for about two hours during a two night stay. Also, the boil water warning form the county health department was only posted in the bath house. One of our neighbors was drinking it before finding out. On the second day a camp host asked us to sign off regarding the boil water notice. This was our second try at this campground. The first included very loud and drunken behavior by seasonal workers. We will not stay here again. - Stephen20

We had a very nice, wooded, secluded, large and level site. Too many trees for our satellite dish but their cable was good. No Wi-Fi. Their were a few negatives. The road in and out is a very steep gravel road. We picked up an infestation of sap beetles. These are small winged insects that appeared on our screen door as soon as we arrived. Enough of them got in as we went in and out, so we were vacuuming them up for days. We will not stay again because of the steep road and the beetles. - RVLive

Beautiful sites in woods which provide lots of shade. Most sites large with plenty of room. Park is very well maintained. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Bathroom stalls are small and a bit cramped, shower was large. Wi-Fi is very limited. Cable TV excellent. Due to trees, very limited satellite TV reception. We'll stay here again. - JavanMichael

Park has fifty sites with electricity (30 amp only) in three loops. We stayed here in a Roadrek Versatile 190 and the set up met our needs perfectly. Staffer came by at 5pm each afternoon with firewood bundles for sale. A beautiful park - swimming beach, well equipped playground, picnic tables spaced well apart from each other. We stayed mid-week in late September and the park was lightly occupied. A great experience. - TennTrek

This state park is located on Keuka Lake,, one of the Finger Lakes in central NY. The Finger Lakes are known for their waterfalls, sparkling lakes and rolling pastoral land located in the wine country. You view vineyard covered slopes from the picnic and beach areas. This is a beautiful state park with grass sites, clean bathrooms, swimming beach, boat launch area, trails, dump station, fishing, sail boarding and boating, hunting, hiking, showers, skiing , snowshoeing and snowmobiling, and volleyball. The lake is one of the cleanest in the area and helps to make the surrounding hills ideal for growing grapes. This was a one night stopover for us and we enjoyed our stay. - gsnakehill

This is an older park but they are doing their best to make everyone's stay pleasant. We were in the front in the big rig area which is basically a big open field in site of the road. The sites that are more shaded are very tight and would be hard for a large camper to navigate.
There was not much road noise at night, though there is a train that comes through blowing its horn every weeknight about 3 a.m., so that can be a little hard on your sleeping!
But we enjoyed our stay. They have all kinds of things for kids to do on the weekends and we would stay here again. It is convenient to Watkins Glen and Corning. It is very dog friendly also. - mary mcmoo
Jun 2016 - $45.00
Our second stop here and it will be our last. Loud music, yelling and general party atmosphere with no regard to the 11pm quiet hour. We were in the front pull-through area (really, a big field with no shade) and the loud party seemed over at the clubhouse, some distance away. Parking was confusing and generally we didn't enjoy our stay at all, especially considering the price. No thanks, we'll choose somewhere else next time. - 2ColliesInACan

Spent one night. Site was pretty level. Staff were friendly. Park was clean. Mostly seasonal a but separate area for short term. We camped in the open field to the west of the railroad tracks. - Hartleyfam

The growth hormone test measures the amount of growth hormone in the blood.
GH test
A blood sample is needed.
Your doctor may give you special instructions about what you can or cannot eat before the test.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
Growth hormone is released from the pituitary gland. This is a small organ in the brain, located behind the nose.
The growth hormone test may be used to monitor response to acromegaly treatment.
The normal range for growth hormone level is typically:
GH is released in pulses. This is why random GH measurements are rarely useful. A higher level may be normal if the blood was drawn during a pulse. A lower level may be normal if the blood was drawn around the end of a pulse. GH is most useful when measured as part of a stimulation or suppression test.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different specimens. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
A high level of growth hormone may indicate:
A low level of growth hormone may indicate:
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another, and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight, but may include:

If you are just getting started with a workout routine, it can be a challenge.
Experts says find out what your body can handle and don't over do it.
The General Manger of The Gym, Sam McCormick, says "water is just like the elimination system in your car. The more water you drink the less lactic acid is being stored in the muscles that are eliminated through the body process and of course stretching lengthens those muscles."

Javon Ringer's turned heads in training camp and preseason action.
I don't see how he's not the third person the team would want to give carries to if it goes beyond Chris Johnson and LenDale White, by choice or necessity.
But I'll be surprised if he bumps Quinton Ganther, the incumbent third back, off the roster.
I expect the Titans to keep four running backs, as they did last year. They ended 2008 with nine players at running back, fullback and tight end, and they're likely to have nine for those three spots again.
The difference will be that all four running backs can contribute on game day as opposed to 2008, when Chris Henry only dressed for the meaningless regular-season finale. Henry is the fifth back, at best, now, and the Titans won't be keeping that many.
Ganther can carry, he can catch, he can block. He is the alternate fullback in case something happens to Ahmard Hall, though I think the team would go with more two-tight end sets if Hall is out. And Ganther plays on the four major special teams units -- punt and punt return, kickoff and kickoff return.
"Q is a professional; Q is going to be ready, whatever I've asked him to do, he's been ready to do," said Earnest Byner, the Titans' running backs coach. "... You always want to keep good players who are good people as well, and Q is one of those guys. He's always fought, he's always had a me-against-the-world type mentality and that has driven him …
"I talked to him about the stress of the situation. In reality, if you focus on the stress, then you are not going to be able to perform at the highest level. I think all of those guys are trying to not let the stress get to them but be driven by those emotions."
Ganther has been a steady, quiet player who helped on special teams and ran a lot of quality scout team for the Titans since they spent a seventh-round draft pick on him in 2006 when he came out of Utah.
During his first two seasons, he got into four games but spent a lot of time on the practice squad. Last year, he played in 13 games, getting just nine carries while working primarily on special teams.
Saturday night in a preseason loss in Cleveland, Ganther saw time in the second half. He had two carries for 5 yards and two catches for 40 more. He turned a short pass from Vince Young over the middle into a nice 26-yard scamper.
"These guys know what I can do, I've been here four years now, so whenever I get a chance, if I get a chance, I've just got to make sure I am ready," he said. "When I worry about the competition aspect of it and not getting reps and carries in a game, that's when I lose focus on things I am supposed to be doing -- special teams, what route to run, blitz protection and things like that.
"I have no idea what they are thinking, what they are doing. That's not for me to focus on. I have to focus on making sure I know what I am doing. Whatever the case may be, it's on me to make it a tough decision for them."
Last week on kickoff returns, they put him at a left wing in the back when he'd been studying left tackle. He has now studied up on both spots, just as he studies fullback and running back to be ready for any situation.
"The more you can do," he said with a smile.

Dr Reinette (Oonsie) Biggs is a Society in Science Fellow funded by the Branco Weiss foundation. She is also a Research Fellow in the Centre for Studies in Complexity at Stellenbosch University in South Africa
Profile summary
Her research focuses on regime shifts — large, abrupt, long-lasting changes in the dynamics of coupled social-ecological systems that can have dramatic impacts on human economies and societies. Dr Biggs aims to contribute practical scientific theory, methods and insights that can improve society's ability to anticipate high-impact tipping points, and build resilience to undesirable changes. Her core research activities focus on the following key areas:
- Developing a Regime Shifts Database to provide a high-quality synthesis of different types of regime shifts that have been documented in social-ecological systems, their impacts on ecosystem services, and management options.
- Developing methods for assessing which areas on Earth are most vulnerable to particular regime shifts, using GIS and remote sensing methods.
- Examining the economic trade-offs associated with balancing the risk of potential regime shifts against the benefits of ecosystem exploitation, in collaboration with researchers at the Beijer Institute for Ecological Economics.
Dr Biggs also initiated and co-leads the Southern African Program on Ecosystem change and Society, a network of leading social-ecological researchers working in southern Africa to develop new theory and tools and grow capacity in the SES field, and one of the core case studies within the ICSU Program on Ecosystem Change and Society (PECS).
Dr Biggs completed her PhD studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2008. Her thesis Uncertainty, learning and innovation in ecosystem managemen included the use of Hierarchical Bayesian Models to show how uncertainties about the nature of ecological relationships may be highlighted by integrating results from multiple studies.
Another aspect of her dissertation work focused on the question of whether regime shifts can be detected (through approaches such as increasing variance) with sufficient lead time to change management in ways that avert undesirable regime shifts.
She also investigated, using social science methodologies, factors that encourage innovation and transformation in ecosystem management based on case studies in South Africa, Wisconsin and Sweden.
Prior to her PhD studies, Dr Biggs spent four years at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research in Pretoria, South Africa, working on the Southern African Millennium Ecosystem Assessment.
She was particularly involved in the scenario planning aspects of the assessment, as well as issues of cross-scale links. Her Masters thesis, which was tied to the Millennium Assessment, involved the development of a new policy-relevant indicator for assessing biodiversity condition, namely the Biodiversity Intactness Index (BII), published in Nature in 2005.
Dr Biggs has authored or co-authored over 30 scientific articles and 20 book chapters.

How research can catch up with rapid environmental change
Schlüter, M., R. (Oonsie) Biggs, M.L. Schoon, M.D. Robards, J.M. Anderies
2015 - Book chapter
As both the societies and the world in which we live face increasingly rapid and turbulent changes, the concept of resilience has become an active and important research area. Reflecting the very latest research, this book provides a critical review of the ways in which resilience of social-ecological systems, and the ecosystem services they provide, can be enhanced. With contributions from leaders in the field, the chapters are structured around seven key principles for building resilience: maintain diversity and redundancy; manage connectivity; manage slow variables and feedbacks; foster complex adaptive systems thinking; encourage learning; broaden participation; and promote polycentric governance. The authors assess the evidence in support of these principles, discussing their practical application and outlining further research needs. Intended for researchers, practitioners and graduate students, this is an ideal resource for anyone working in resilience science and for those in the broader fields of sustainability science, environmental management and governance.
Biggs, R. (Oonsie), M. Schlüter, M.L. Schoon
2015 - Book chapter
A major challenge of the twenty-first century is ensuring an adequate and reliable flow of essential ecosystem services to meet the needs of the world's burgeoning and increasingly wealthy population. This challenge needs to be addressed in the face of rapidly changin social, technological and environmental conditions that characterize the world today. Social-ecological resilience is one fast-growing approach that attempts to inform this challenge and provide practical guidance to decision-makers and practitiones. The resilience approach views humans as part of the biosphere, and assumes that the resulting intertwined social-ecological systems behave as complex as adaptive systems - i.e. they have the capacity to self organize and adapt based on past experience, and are characterized by emergent and non-linear behaviour and inherent uncertainty. A rapidly growing body of research on resilience in social-ecological systems has proposed a variety of attributes that are important for enhancing resilience. This book aims to critically assess and synthesize this literature. In this chapter we introduce the resilience approach and the process by which we identified seven feneric principles for enhancing the capacity of social-ecological systems to produce desired sets of ecosystem services in the face of disturbance and change.
Biggs, R. (Oonsie), L.J. Gordon, C. Raudsepp-Hearne, M. Schlüter, B. Walker
2015 - Book chapter
Many social-ecological systems can exist in different self-organizing configurations or 'regimes'. Each of these configurations produces a different set of ecosystem services, with different consequences for different users. Changes in controlling slow variables can cause a system to shift from one regime to another if certain thresholds are exceeded and there is a change in dominat feedback processes in the social-ecological system. Such shifts are often associated with large, rapid changes in ecosystem services, and can have substantial impacts on human societies. In other cases, feedbacks may trap a system in a regime that produces a very limited set of desired ecosystem services, and make it very difficult to shift the system to a different configuration. The importance of managing slow variables and feedbacks to maintain social-ecological regimes that produce desired bundles of ecosystem services, restore social-ecological systems to more desired configurations or transform the systems to entirely new configurations is widely acknowledged in the resilience literature. However, identifying and managing key slow variables and feedbacks to avoid system thresholds or facilitate systemic transformations is often difficult in practice. Maintaining regulating ecosystem services as a proxy for managing slow variables may be one practical way forward. Other strategies focus on better understanding slow variables and feedbacks that underlie different social-ecological configurations, monitoring changes in slow variables and feedbacks, managing the strength of feedbacks and adressing missing feedbacks between drivers and impacts on ecosystem services.

2015 - Journal / article
Sustainable development goals (SDGs), which recognise the interconnections between social, economic and ecological systems, have ignited new interest in indicators able to integrate trends in – and interactions between – nature and socio-economic development. We explore whether existing global data can be used to measure nature's contribution to development targets and explore limitations in these data. Using Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 1– eradicate extreme hunger and poverty. We develop two indicators to assess the contribution of nature to progress in this goal. The indicators (based on income and employment data from nature-based sectors (NBS) represented by agriculture, forestry and fisheries) show large but declining contributions of nature to MDG 1: NBS contributed to lifting 18% of people out of poverty and provided 37% of global employment between 1991 and 2010. For low income countries, the contributions were 20% and 55% respectively. In exploring data gaps the study highlighted low reporting rates especially in low income countries, as well as lack of other measures of poverty alleviation beyond income and employment. If we are to move beyond target setting to implementation of sustainable development goals at national scales, these shortcomings require as much attention as the elaboration and agreement on the post-2015 development goals.

Our Childhood on Video
Here's a nice taste of nostalgia. One of the first skate videos my friends and I put our hearts and souls into during our teenage years. We made MALFUNCTION when we were all 14-17. If there is any era of my life I wish I could re-live, it would be this. The only thing we cared about was skateboarding; no jobs, no adulthood, no responsibilities...just skateboarding and hanging out with each other every single day trying to make this video happen. The editing and choices in this video are atrocious, but I guess that is what makes it so funny to look back on. Anyway, not much more to say, enjoy our young and dumb years on video.

Congrats go out to those of you who painstakingly watched the New Moon trailer, like, 10,000 times in a row, because you helped it become the most watched trailer of 2009! Yahoo Movies has released their annual list of the most-watched trailers of the year, and coming in at number one is, not surprisingly, The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
At a close second was Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, followed by 2012, Terminator Salvation, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Star Trek, Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, Avatar and then Pixar's Up. Nowhere to be found on this list was Where the Wild Things Are, which was probably the most critically celebrated trailer of the year, capped off by a magical remix of Arcade Fire's "Wake Up."

Celebrities on the front row at New York Fashion Week
You've passed your exams, your parents are all proud and you are soon to become a graduate! There's just one final hurdle to overcome; the graduation ceremony itself. The strut across the stage, remembering which hand to shake with (the right one) and the dreaded photographs can all throw up a whole host of wardrobe issues. We've teamed up with M&S to find some answers...
The problem: "I don't want to look too conservative." You will want to be fashionable but there's no way your hemline can be as high as on a night out. So how do you avoid looking like lamb dressed as mutton?
The solution: There's no need to dress like your Nan. Your skirt or dress can be a few inches above the knee, just make sure your modesty remains intact when you're a metre or so higher than the front row. A bright colour or some fashion-forward detailing can make a sensible dress feel younger – try checking out the dresses range at M&S for some inspiration.

Reliability theory of aging and longevity

The reliability theory of aging is an attempt to apply the principles of reliability theory to human biology. The theory was published in Russian by Leonid A. Gavrilov and Natalia S. Gavrilova as Biologiia prodolzhitelʹnosti zhizni in 1986, and in English translation as The Biology of Life Span: A Quantitative Approach in 1991.[1][2]
The hypothesis is based on the unusual premise that humans are born in a highly defective state. According to the model, this is then made worse by environmental and mutational damage; redundancy allows the organism to survive for a while.[3]

Posted on 06/08/2011 3:38:17 PM PDT by Jean S
Really ugly.
You need to see this!
They're not "dressed as zombies" . They always look like that.
Reminds me of the demotivational poster...
"Like zombies, but with absolutely no interest in brains."
Well, now, you can't scare me.
I'll stick it to the union.
I'll stick it to the union.
I'll stick it to the union.
Oh, no, you can't scare me.
I'll stick it to the union.
I'll stick it to the union
With joy and pride.
Classic must see video.
And they're all still alive, tonight, because this is America.
Sick people.
Passing it on....
Actually no one needs to see a bunch of selfish people ruin a kids event.
Madison is not Wisconsin. Madison is abnormal. They can try to force they're lib agenda, but guess what, we're not California. They can try all they want to push their socialist agenda, the 'workers' will reject their message. Our state is not them. Wisconsin is Redder than everyone thinks.
What's next? Probably terrorist acts on the Special Olympics, I guess.
In the 70s and 80s, I used to volunteer with other members of my local to work the SO. How times have changed.
Pig. A coarse, obnoxious and amoral person.
I'd like to expose and identify the creeps.
Looks like a good place for a fire hose...
Every Republican senator up for recall needs to run these clips in their campaigns to show everyone in their district exactly what this is about. Also run the clips of mobs of liberals trashing the capitol, screaming at children, doctors passing out fake medical excuses for protestors.
Thanks for the ping. This is simply unacceptable. I am disgusted that these people would use this event to advance their political agenda. Shameful.
Thanks for the ping!!
#26 post BUMP!!!
Oh absolutely. They need to be exposed as selfish pigs.
I'm not surprised by their behavior because rats will do anything. This one really angers me.
I agree!!
>> Self-important ignorant jerks.
Commie assholes.
These people are absolutely the worst. This is disgusting.
They're just trying to be good little Marxists.
What disgusting pigs.
Republicans MUST use footage from this event in their campaign commercials.
It is infuriating to see these wonderful kids on their special day be abused by these sick and twisted liberals.
There are no words I can safely use to express my disgust and anger at the whole entire left, esp union thugs.
The Special Olympics was started by Sargent Shriver's wife Eunice, a member of the Kennedy clan. She was Maria's mom.
So now Lefty's are into destroying even the efforts of 'their own kind'.
The people who participate in the Special Olympics don't understand all this. It's a real shame to introduce this kind of idiocy to an event that is special for them.
If there was one thing that the Kennedy's did right, it would probably be this effort.
You could draw a parallel between the Satanic Phelps and this RAT group.
Obviously the Ozombies think this is the one thing the Kennedys did wrong.
These people are low down trash to interrupt this important event.
>> I just sent it to Drudge
As did I. Hopefully with enough people doing that, it'll stick out on his radar.
Let's not forget the Dem poster from 2004...
Better "retarded" than a loser like Democrat, Chris Fitzhugh.
This video needs to go viral and expose the scumbags at the University of Wisconsin for the worthless POS that they are. Hopefully the Republicans in the House can use this video to strip all taxpayer funding to the university. However I doubt they have the gonads to do so. This group of dipshits probabaly gets taxpayer funding as an official student organization.
That would seem so, but it's my take those zombies haven't got any idea whatsoever that this is ultimately a Kennedy Clambake. They've got about thirty minutes to an hour of history in their heads, and are on the latest mission to fix the world.
The whole Shriver family, including Maria, should be complaining about this, but I doubt they will.
Great clip. Who knew how prophetic that was!?
Classy as always.
I don't get it. What does dressing up as zombies supposedly depict? It actually more appropriately depicts them as Ozombies.
They look more like bloody abortionists. Always emulating their heroes.
Typical democrats. All about themselves.
They are sissy cowards.
Disrupting a Special Olympics ceremony. . .real class and shows just exactly what democrats are made of (bovine excrement).
Those Dems! Always putting the CHILDREN first! Jerks.
