County Wants to Tax Vice, Bad Habit and Weaponry
Video gambling, cigarettes, guns and ammo would be taxed under Cook County's new budget plan. Golf and picnic permits at the Forest Preserve would cost more, too.
Targeting smokers, gun owners and gamblers, a slew of new and unusual taxes and fees designed to raise $43 million are proposed for Cook County's $2.95 billion 2013 budget.
Board President Tony Preckwinkle released her spending plan Thursday, saying $50 million in spending cuts are planned, too, and 462 open county jobs would be eliminated.
But public attention will focus on the taxes:
- $1-a-pack more on cigarettes; the county tax is already $2 a pack
- $800 on every video gambling machine
- $25 on every gun sold
- 5 cents on every bullet sold
- $5 fee for every "confirmation of death" letter issued by the county morgue
The proposed budget avoids a property tax hike. Nine of 17 commissioners need to vote for Preckwinkle's budget for it to pass.
The county projects $25 million would be raised via the cigarette tax. Today, the total federal, state and local tax levied on a pack of cigarettes is $4.67 in Chicago and $3.99 in the Cook County suburbs.
The tax on guns and ammo — dubbed a "violence tax" by some — would raise $1 million through the county's 40 registered firearms dealers.
"The violence in Cook County is devastating and the wide availability of ammunition only exacerbates the problem," Preckwinkle said Thursday in announcing her budget to county commissioners. "Twenty-nine percent of the illegal guns used in crimes and recovered by the Chicago Police Department were purchased legally in Cook County. This violence has a real impact on the Cook County Health and Hospital System."
The first-term Democrat pointed out that trauma care for gunshot victims costs $52,000, on average, and most people who visit Cook County's emergency rooms with bullet wounds don't have insurance.
In 2011, 670 shooting victims were treated in county hospitals, Preckwinkle said.
"Why should we be paying for gang bangers shooting each other?" asked the owner of Freddie Bear Sport, a guns and ammo dealer in Tinley Park. "You're taxing law-abiding citizens for what criminals are doing."
Lutger told the Associated Press his customers will simply go elsewhere if they have to pay taxes on their guns and bullets.
"Who's going to come to Tinley Park to buy ammunition?" Lutger said.
Forty-five Cook County businesses have video gaming licenses, according to the Illinois Gaming Board, and Preckwinkle wants $800 per year for each machine, projecting $1.3 million in annual revenue.
"These machines generate almost $800 a day – we're asking for $800 per year. They keep their other 364 days of revenue. We use that one day's revenue to help mitigate the impact of the associated costs of crime, health, addiction," Preckwinkle said.
A new state law that went into effect this month allows communities to approve video gaming in their towns, but state lawmakers never envisioned Cook County would try to impose this tax, according to a report from IllinoisWatchdog.org.
State Rep. Lou Lang, D-Skokie, a longtime advocate of expanded gambling in Illinois, said Cook County's video gaming tax would be a "job killer" for local bars and restaurants that want to add the devices to their business plans.
If taxes are certain, so is death. And Preckwinkle found a way to get a few bucks via the dead souls who pass through the county morgue.
Among the budget's various smaller proposed fees, there's a $5 charge for every "confirmation of death" letter, according to Clout Street on ChicagoTribune.com. Such fees would raise about half a million dollars.
And over at the Cook County Forest Preserve, a separate county taxing body, there are proposals to hike fees for the first time in seven years on picnic permits and rounds of golf.
The cost of the most popular county picnic permit for groups of 100 people or less rises from $35 to $37. The price of a permit for an event with more than 1,000 people will increase from $760 to $960.
A round of golf at nine county golf courses will cost $1 more. But at George W. Dunne National in Oak Forest, a premier 18-hole course, the fee would be $49, $2 more than it is today.
This post is published on the Patch network throughout Cook County.

So that means all the ammo and guns coming from mexico don't pay. Back to taxing the honest people instead of cutting things. Why do we have to cut with families but the goverment don't? Oh and they forgot about beer and all alcohol which breaks up familes and does alot of damage. Think its time to clean house when we vote.

I agree 100%!!! You can't keep pouring money into a bucket with so many holes in it. Raising taxes without cutting spending doesn't make sence. It definitely is time to clean house!!!

They sure are making cigarettes a lucrative business for the street/crime... I'm not a smoker and quite honestly can't stand it, but a carton is becoming gold.
I'm also curious about this ammo tax? Better gun and ammo laws will do more than a tax. So what will target practice cost now?
5$ for a death letter... That's pricless...!

A few days ago, Preckwinkle said there would be no new taxes. Wonder what these are? But the pols don't have to worry about their expenses or tax increases cause we( the taxpayer) can pay for them and the gangbangers who don't work.

I think I know where youre coming from, but the taxes on such things as ammo do little. I'd rather see stricter laws, background checks, and enforcment as they do in other countries. These have proven to work, as the death toll last year in England by gun violence was less than 20 people. Like these idiots that want all these conceal laws... Ok, so I can have a moron with me in the store feeling like a stud pull out his gun too..
The law makers parade these violence and cancer stats and say this will help. yea, right...
It's likle the speed cams by schools, as the Mayor illicits the "children" to support his cause. Put every single $$ raised by these speed cams intop the hands of the students, then I'll listen.

Bob - Chris Rock did a stand up saying to stop gun violence make bullets cost $5,000 each. Then they won't be shooting at random. When someone does get shot, you know they did something wrong.
I believe lung cancer is the highest as far as death rate goes. Smoking increases that not to mention a ton of other diseases.

I get it emily. Yes i saw that with chris rock... the man is hilarious. What has a brought the smoking down is education and awareness. If every cent of this tax went to lgit educational functions about smoking cancer and so on, then id be all for it. All it does is make an already profitable commodity more desiarble for the street and replace the $ that people handled poorly.
1:37 am on Saturday, October 20, 2012
we already have the counrties toughest gun laws plus we are the only state you can't get a gun carring permit, lol, you people need to think before you speek. and we still lead in the most shooting because those people will carry guns no matter what the law says cause it only effects good people not the street trash. Any tax is a bad tax, once they beat up any one thing by taxing it, all they do is go after another thing to get more money, wake up people. they just label something else no good or call it a luxury to make it look good to people, yet they never curb spending or stop giving out raises, stop with attacks and start banning together agaist the fat political machines. vote them all out more often.
1:58 pm on Saturday, October 20, 2012
Bob - I don't think the money from taxing cigarettes should go education for anti-smoking. It should go to education. I don't care if they tax cigarettes, gun and bullet purchases, alcohol, junk food, soda etc. None of it pertains to me. Now, if they wanted to tax gym memberships, organic foods and healthy lifestyles then I might have an issue.
Tired of the B.S.
2:12 pm on Saturday, October 20, 2012
I hope the next tax raise is for gym membership, organic food, and healthy lifestyle so you can have an issue.
Don't you see that continued tax increases, even if they don't affect you personally at this time, will only lead to taxing things that do affect you personally?
What will happen when smoking declines to a level where the taxes brought in from smokers is no longer enough? The same goes for bullets, guns, vehicles, alcohol, property, organic foods, gym memberships........
If the government keeps spending what they don't have, taxes will continue to rise.
Eventually, they will get to something that affects you.
It would be far more responsible for the government to not spend what they don't have, like we all try to do, rather than raising taxes on things that are considered "bad" for you.
2:28 pm on Saturday, October 20, 2012
B.S. - If they wanted to tax my gym membership, I would then have to rethink it and then just use my home gym I currently have. If my food were to be taxed (harder than it already is) I would then adjust my budget.
I wouldn't sit here and act like someone wanted to come to my house and steal my apples from my fridge the way some people are acting about their guns.
I wish these taxes force every smoker to stop. Nothing good comes to a person from smoking. Smoking isn't doing them any favors. A child raised in a home with a smoker has a 50/50 chance of becoming a smoker. Let's stop the cycle of polluting ourselves and neighbors with 2nd hand smoke.
Tired of the B.S.
2:34 pm on Saturday, October 20, 2012
You almost got it when you said that if they taxed your organic food, you would adjust your budget. Why would you adjust your budget? Could it be that you can't just raise taxes every time you spent too much? How about the government tries that approach?
6:15 pm on Saturday, October 20, 2012
BS - I adjust my budget regularly when the cost of anything changes. It would be no different with taxes. I get what you're trying to do and you're missing the point I was trying to make. People are complaining just to complain.
You had it completely wrong when you worried about the jobs and business of cigarette shops if too many people stop smoking due to taxes. So then unless we teach children and encourage them to take up smoking these businesses will die off. I think I'd rather see these cancer promoters go out of business than ask another generation to please endanger their health so a person can stay in business.

OK. A high tax was put on cigarettes some years back, supposedly for the health and well being of everyone and anyone. So smokers, who were outraged, stopped or tried to stop smoking. Guess what, then we needed more money, so they'll just tax other things to make up the difference! Warning not smoking maybe hazardous to your wallet.

That would probably eliminate 40% of the padded Cook County payroll!! But, the best part of this is you don't have to replace any of them because they never did anything to begin with!

To me it appears as just another method by Libtards (Liberal-retards) to villify and tax individuals for legal choices they make. Cook Count officials as well as State demi-gods know so much more about how we should run our lives. There are few options when you have enforxed servitude, one is move, just pack up and get out. Another is to purchase those items being penalized at another location and let the county fail even more. Cook County and for that matter is doing everything in their power to drive business and working people out of the communities and the state. So, when revenue declines and they need more money to pad their pockets and fund their special intrest groups the answer is.... let's figure what else we don't like that we can tax and which taxes can we increase! What about looking at their own mess and cut some of their spending, works in my household.
While I am still alive, I will not give up on my rights as an American and I will keep my guns.
When a person is compelled to give up the fruits of their hard earned labors to be given to fund the benefit of those that refuse to be productive in kind, all of this at the point of a gun, is Tyrrany and Slavery in it's purest form.
As they said in the Old West, "I think it's time to get out of Dodge!"

No one is taking your guns away mad dude. I have to pay taxes on food, gas and my beloved beer. Why not bullets? And don't give me any crap about how only legit citizens will pay for it. Someone has to buy the darn bullets.
Tired of the B.S.
12:16 pm on Wednesday, October 24, 2012
I already pay taxes on bullets. They are not tax exempt. I also already pay taxes on guns and cigarettes.
You seem to be missing the point. This is about raising taxes again. Can you tell me one fee or tax that has not gone up in recent years? When will the solution turn to fiscal responsibility instead of higher taxes?
2:16 pm on Saturday, October 20, 2012
Let's look at it from reality:
1) $1 per pack of cancer sticks (I mean cigarettes), in Chicago it's already $10 a pack, if you can afford $10 for 20 cigarettes, you clearly don't care how you spend your money
2) $800 on every video gambling machine. Unless you own a bar or crap hole that have these machines in them, not your problem
3) $25 on every gun SOLD. So if you already own one, not an issue for you. If you wanted to add to your collection cause you think you're Elmer Fudd, it's going to cost you a one time addition of $25
4) .05 cents on every bullet. Box of 50 comes to an additional $2.50
5) $5 on every confirmation of death letter from the morgue. I do not know if this the same as a death certificate or what exactly the letter is for.
So, most of these new taxes won't pertain to most of county residents.
Tired of the B.S.
2:28 pm on Saturday, October 20, 2012
The reality is that when these taxes don't raise enough revenue, more or higher taxes will be added, unless the spending is controlled.
These particular taxes may not be on something that you deal with, but, sooner or later(most likely sooner)something YOU like will be taxed a a higher rate or a new tax will be added.
The worst part of this is that people will take their cigarette and gun and bullet business out of Cook county. Stores will close. People will lose jobs. Tax revenue will drop. What will the politicians do then? Look for something else to tax to make up for the lost revenue. Maybe by taxing gym memberships, organic foods, and healthy lifestyles.
2:39 pm on Saturday, October 20, 2012
I hope cigarette shops close for good. I hope one day this country no one kills themselves and their loved ones slowly with the toxins that cigarettes make.
Again, if they wanted to tax my healthy lifestyle that's fine. Once I've had enough, I would move. I already pay too high a health insurance premium due to the fact that the average person my age has Type 2 Diabetes. Which is really sad. So I already pay for people who refuse to take proper care of themselves.
Tired of the B.S.
2:57 pm on Saturday, October 20, 2012
So your answer to higher taxes is to try to run away from them? Where would you run to? Don't you think that a better solution would be for the county to control their expenses and not to spend more than they make? That's how I do it. As a matter of fact, that's how all people that don't have the ability to raise fees and taxes do it.
If you think your insurance premiums are high now because of Type 2 Diabetes, wait til you get to help pay for all the uninsured people that will be added by Obamacare. Or, you could just move.

Emily- I wouldn't necessarily call it running away. More like relocating to avoid the stink. If history serves me correctly, We the People left tyranny in England for much the same reasons. But, also tyranny and taxes followed on our heels. We went to war over it and won our freedom. I does not appear that there is any revolution on the horizon so going somewhere else is an option. Where, you ask? With Illinois having the highest business taxes and unreasonable socialist leaning public officials, almost any where is appealing. Another historical happenstance occured that caused the War of Northern Aggression (Civil War 1861-1865) The Southern States were well within their Constitutioal authority to Secede. I am not advocating secession but as an individual I do have those certain unalienable rights, endowed by our Creator, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Continued..... Oh! By the way, we already pay for those uninsured inddegent and undocumented medical care. When a person goes to an emergency room or clinic they are not thrown into the streets, they are taken care of. We the People already are on the hook for their bills in the form of taxes, increased hospital costs and out of pocket co-payments. This leads to higher insurance premiums to cover all of that when we the insured us our hard earned and paid for benefits. Obama-care is just another National-Socialist tool to increase government control and government spending. The Health Care and Affordability Act is exactly NOT that. It reaches far beyond anything to do with health and wellness or affordaability. Have you read it? I have! It took me almost four months to get through that almost two thousand pages of regulatory and enforcable drivel. I did get a headache but also a bitter bile in my throat over the goals of this now mandatory law. Enough said on on this Nazi (National Socialist) inspired travesty.
We live in undeniably the most corrupt state in the Union. Led by Chicago political thugs that have wormed their way all the way to the White House to levy their type of indoctrination and deception on the rest of the country.

I never said I would 'run away' I said relocate. Out of cook county. The point is everyone on here is complaining about the guns they currently own as if this tax applies to them, which it does not.
I am 100% for ObamaCare. 100%. What happened when Illinois became a mandatory car insurance state? All the companies then had to fight for our business. So now, health insurance companies will then give me a break for taking care of myself and making the people who do not pay higher premiums. And I just fine with that.
We are the only country in the world that treat our criminals better than we do our homeless.
If you don't like it, run for office yourself and change it.
9:10 pm on Saturday, October 20, 2012
Emily - "What happened when Illinois became a mandatory car insurance state?" Some still choose to ignore this law and us law abiding citizens pay for their insurance.
Do some research on socialized medicine in England and Ireland before you vote for Obama. For European governments, limiting supply has been the traditional way to contain health care costs. The downside is waiting lists. Patients have had to wait not just for elective procedures, but even for medically necessary surgeries.
England, whose health service is one of the most generous in Europe, made patients wait an average of 18 months for an operation in 1997 -- including for simple-to-fix but disabling conditions such as cataracts and worn joints. Since then, the average has fallen to less than nine months. While England and other countries have taken measures to curtail waiting lists, "health tourism" remains strong. See how you like waiting years to get a minor procedure done.

I am afraid that you are the one that just doesn't get it. The point isn't guns, bullets, cigarettes, healthy living, or organic foods. The point is TAXES!!!
If and when cigarettes are no longer smoked, where will the government get the money to replace those taxes?
If guns and bullets are taxed to the point where nobody buys them, how do you replace those taxes?
Wouldn't it make more sense to have a budget that is balanced instead of continually raising taxes?
If you think that Obamacare will lower your insurance premium, I think you are in for a rude awakening. Remember, the same people that are once again raising taxes to support the county (the government) are now going to try to run healthcare.
Can you tell me one area run by the government that doesn't bleed money and is run with an eye towards efficiency or saving money?
7:07 pm on Saturday, October 20, 2012
The only people who I ever meet who are against ObamaCare are the ones who do not take care of themselves. If you are so concerned about these poor cigarette shop owners I assume you're planning on teaching your children to smoke so they can stay in business for generations to come?

I am against Obamacare for the same reason that I am against what this thread is about, higher taxes.
Did you know that Obamacare will raise taxes for people that earn less than $200,000 a year? Did you know that Obamacare will raise taxes by over $500 billion over the next ten years? It doesn't matter how well you take care of yourself, you will be paying for insurance for people that can't get insurance.
Why do you think they can't get insurance? Is it because they are healthy or is it because the cost take care of them is so high? Who pays for that? We ALL do with higher premiums and more taxes.
Are you planning on moving out of the U.S. when that happens?
Cigarette manufacturers will do just fine without me or my kids. They sell plenty around the world.

Emily- When a person is compelled to give up aportion of their honest labor to pay the benefits of another that is either unwilling or too lazy to take rssponsibility for themselves, enforced at the point of a gun is tyranny and slavery. I am a very charitable person but it can only go so far. I only have so much and taking care of myself and family is priority one. I served this country for over a decade on active duty. Served at an unpopular time and was dishonored when I returned from Vietnam by those people that I thought were my friends. Now I look at my beloved country and it makes me sad to see the founding principals that made us great being swindled by power brokers and politicians. The government is not the solution to the ills of today. Responsibility for one's self and respect for fellow citizens is necessary. The Greatest generation proclaimed, what can I do for my country, my America? Today it is sad that all I see is, Screw you, what's in it for me!
Seeing this, I am reminded of one hot early morning firefight near Quang Tri, I was tending to a buddy, holding my shirt and belt over the stump where his leg had been while he bled to death screaming for his mother. Then I see the Occupy movement and the the leftist progressives that all they want is more and someone else to pay for it. Seriously brings tears to my eyes.

Funny you complain of people not taking responsibility for themselves. Usually the ones saying that are the ones who point the fingers in their own life of blame instead of pointing at themselves in the mirror.
Wanting people to get affordable health care shouldn't be considered a charity.
Clearly, you've never had the pleasure of fighting with insurance companies who have refused to cover treatment or drop your loved on due to a diagnosis. Then be unable to obtain insurance elsewhere due to the diagnosis.
Who's to blame for the generation of "Screw you, what's in it for me?" the parents of these people. If people didn't raise their kids to be this way, then maybe they'd think of someone else. I know too many kids that would sell their grandparents if they could get something out of it.
I thank you for your service.

- Was the "War of Northern Aggression" (as you call it) unjustified?
- Did African slaves in the south have unalienable rights endowed by their Creator?
- Was it unjustified for the nation to fight over their freedom?
- Was the "American War" (as the Vietnamese call it) in Viet Nam justified?
- Was America an oppressive imperial power in Viet Nam during that war?
- Was England an oppressive imperial power in America during our Revolutionary War?

To Johnny Sisson
I'd like to answer your questions. The war was unjustified as the cause was not slavery but taxes. In 1860 just after being elected Lincoln signed the Morrill Tariff Act. Ths raised taxes on the Southern agricultural states by anywhere from 20 to 47%! Considering that the Southern States comprised only about 30% of the population this act they would be paying just over 80% of the nation's taxes. The North having the most of industry and wealth wanted the south to pay because they had slaves instead of employees. Also the North didn't like the south selling cotton internationally at a good profit and they wanted it. There is alot more but I cannot be writing a book. Look up the Morill Tarriff Act. also Lincoln's illegal suspension of the Constitutional right of Habeus Corpus.
To answer all of your questions appropriately will take more space than we have here. But, I can answer all of your queries.

We are at a time where the America we know and the Nationality we have earned could be at an end. We are on the verge of spending The United States into extinction.

Emily- I have had the opportunity to do battle with a insurance company and the Federal Govt. at the same time. At age 51 I suffered a stroke and I had an aweful time them to cover treatment but I managed to get that resolved. It took over a year. I have been unable to return to my former employment due to complications from stroke. I attempted to get coverage under Social Security but was refused. I went to court with an attorney in tow, three seperate times and was denied. Because I have been responsible and ambitious I was providing for retirement on my own. I saved and invested for over 20 years and was told that I didn't require any assistance from Social Security. I figured that because my ethnicity did not fit the profile I was not eligible to participate in a program I had paid for. Had I not taken the responsibility to privatize my retirement at an early age I would be on a street corner some place with a tin cup and some pencils.I am alot better now but it has taken ten years but stroke is an insideous affliction. Many other things are affected some humorous and others .... not so much. You have to filter such things through the gause of mirth otherwise, you would break down and cry, thus ruining one's cowboy macho image.

Lots of clichés and lies in this discussion wow! Oh by the way, Switzerland has one of the best health care system in the World. Last time I checked, Switzerland was far from being a communist country. Au contraire. No system is perfect of course .
Election s coming up, Go Obama go. Romney can only bring turmoil, less freedom in many areas and more hard time for the middle class

Switzerland? Healthcare? How many people you know have went to Switzerland for any medical procedures? You have to be a Swiss citizen/taxpayer to qualify. Then take a number and wait. Obama does not offer any hopes of freedom or liberty.Unless of course you consider the freedom to be on governement subsistance at someone else's expemse. Obummer wipes his butt daily with the Constitution and The Bill of Rights and gets that shit eatin' grin we all know so well. He doesn't even qualify as a true American. he is an anti-colonialist National Socialist. Out First, Second and Fourth Amendments are constantly being degraded by His Royal Highness. Yes he wants to be an omnipotent dictatorial ruler of all he surveys. We need to throw out this whole mess and start over with our founding principals as written in our Constitution!

I wish someone, anyone, would provide the proof that the government creates jobs that actually benefit the country as a whole. It takes tax dollars to pay for these jobs, hence taxes go up. So much has been said about "fair share". How is it that some folks pay absolutely 0 dollars in taxes and get refunds? Is that a fair share? Just because someone makes a bunch of money doesn't mean they should support a bunch of people that choose to be unemployed. I am NOT talking about those who try and can't find work. I am NOT talking about those who are unable to work. I am NOT talking about those who bust their asses and still can't make ends meet. I am talking about those who live off the system. I am talking about those college grads that can't find work in their field of study, like 16th Century English Poetry, philosophy in general etc. Not slamming the fields of study, but wondering what they thought they might be doing with the degree once they got it. It is surely easier to blame the guy with money for your own problems than it is to face facts. Never has a major tax increase on any 'class' resulted in additional revenues to the federal treasury.
What is the ultimate end when government keeps taking more and more? It is NOT a bottomless hole of money. The government can't just print more. Sooner or later they have to pay back debt. Where does it end?

It ends when IL is turned into WI... Because its not the welfare recipient bankrupting the system... Its about the city county and state workers having a free rides,multiple pensions, engaging in criminal contracts etc etc etc... The problem is crony nepotism with tribal roots...
Its not the guy with the money Its the guy that drinks Pabst and drives a 2003 ford Taurus making 100k+ a year Its drew Peterson collecting 300k a year in jail ... Its corporations using mafia applications ...
If one understands "money" principles in regards to federal banking this bottomless pit of money = the system of lending in place that without debt there would be no money... Sounds like Abbott and Costello it is ...
Early voting starts tomorrow.... Vote for Romney is a vote against unions state and county jobs... A vote to streamline ....
A vote for Obama is a vote for Hope, Future,and Social change.. Its about lifestyles....
The redistribution of the wealth is going to happen ...I been hearing from both sides committees and groups That the old simply do not spend as much as the young thus for a host of reasons the wealth must be taken from them.... dumbing the point but its there

WILLARD said" he will create 12 million jobs" that was before he said government does not create jobs, he was right on both counts more than 12 million jobs have been created by BAIN and his fellow travelers in RED COMMUNIST CHINA,
Now in America and Murka not much is going on because the TAX dodgers and traitors like TWIT and JACK WELCH the parasites and their friends are sitting on 5 trillion in investments and can longer wash it in MACAU,
NOW REMEMBER most of the jobs in CHINA were non union many RED STATE and pablum eating low info voters who still drink the Kool Aid, the highest paying jobs TWIT created in RED CHINA PAYS $1.19 per hr ave 99 cents it looks like the end is near for a lot of us Dave, they closed 50,000 factory's and sent the low and hi tech jobs to the RED ARMY, It is in yer economic interest and every American that ROBME be sent packing and we get into the corp are people my friend BS it only can happen if he is sent back to his CAYMAN or RED CHINA HOMELAND, a NEW non corporate AG would help a lot also,

Hi Ya, Butchie... It is refreshing to have such a colorful descriptive dialog. I do enjoy getting on the last nerve of a Left-leaning progressive and witnessing a meltdown. You touched on so many points, I actually lost count. However I did count just how many made sense and how many actual informed rational views... and that would be none. When you regain your composure and decide on one specific item that you think you know enough about please let me know. I will be more than happy to discuss it rationally without the unnecessary blathering. K?

Besides I wasn't a draft dodger, I enlisted and served on active duty for twelve years, I fought to defend your privledge to sit here and cal me names. Getting shot ruins your whole day. but I fooled them, I survived. Even if those that I thought were my friends, back here at home, would rather that I died over there. Recently I've had the pleasure of being chastized by a Liberal O supporter in a public meeting that I was too bad that I came back from Vietnam and that I am a racist to boot.

The economy was hemorrhaging 750,000 jobs a month at the time and now is on the rebound despite the treason which pisses off all these draft and tax dodgers which REPRESENTS 100% of the treasonous GOP-TPARTY.
The scum bag SENATOR of GEORGIA who swift boated a American hero Max CLELLAND like Tammy Duckworth lost 3 limbs in Vietnam has joined the most corrupt TPARTY CONGRESSMEN Daryl Issa in politicizing the deaths of Americans and outing the brave LIBYANS working for us this is beyond any pretense of decency but was done first by the champion looter of all time and grand dad of a child with 2 moms while the rest of the wing nuts are praying and protesting against abortion and homosexuals the hypocrisy is endless, their televangelists who have entire shows dedicated to anti homo usually get busted with male hookers, so what's the point well it is dog-pony shows and Kabuki theater not understandable to light weights who can't figure out what this represents, it is called who appoints the retiring justices to the Supreme Court the prize! right madman!

I was basing this on reading the titles on the cover pages of each chapter. :P And I think digging around in 80 to look for 84...page for 84 in the middle of 83: http://manga.animea.net/ikkitousen-b...page-22.html#i

5 rename to: Trouble [Volume 2]
7 rename to: Confrontation - Again
I got confused because I thought the 'the first' and 'the second' bits are part of the title..turns out they're not. My apologies to Midnight Scans if I accidentally uploaded the latest/second latest chapter before 3 days were up -- I honestly have no idea when they were added. ._. But I think it was recent...got excited that I finally found the real packlist, haha.
Chapter 6 and chapter 7 seem to have been flipped. But the file names were like that when I downloaded them, so...leave them for now? I'm gonna go read them and see what's right.
Edit: I've read it, and I still can't tell. T_T But the chapter titles seem to imply that they -are- flipped...and there's a minor reference that could imply 6 actually comes after 7..

First and foremost, the price was very resonable. for 4 of us and it was approx 10 minutes from the Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence so I booked it... right away. When we arrived, the hotel was nicer than I perceived! The girl at the desk was very pleasant and handled my paperwork very quickly. Parking was great and being on the 3rd floor, the elevator was close to our room which was great because I had a handicapped person with our party. Entered the room and it smelled nice and it was clean! Fresh Linens and the bathroom didn't look run down like most hotels now a days. The service was so great too! For instance, I found out that one of the persons in my party forgot to pack their toothbrush so I took a chance and called down to the desk to see if I could purchase one and not only did she say she had some, she said it would be no charge! She also walked it up to my room! Wow, what service! Had a great sleep and woke up with a complimentary newspaper at my door and to my surprize, my room also included breakfast which was absolutely wonderful! The coffee was great too! Everything was fresh, including the pastries which normally are always stale at other hotels I've stayed at for more money! It was all you can eat and the girl servicing the area was super pleasant and was willing to help at a moments notice with absolutely no attitute! They had quite a diverse selection of breakfast items also! Thank You! Would Definitely Stay again and again! bởi M. Minotti từ Connecticut vào 21/05/2013

Gas Contamination Leads to Planned Demolition of 16 Residences
Loch Raven Village properties could eventually become open space.
Sixteen residences near Loch Raven Village are slated for demolition as the result of contamination from a nearby gas station.
One additional affected residence will be left standing but vacant because an attached residence remains occupied.
The Baynesville properties, part of duplexes located in the 1600 block of Yakona Road, could eventually become open space owned by a county land trust. All of the properties have some level of contamination from gasoline that originated from an independently owned Hess Gas Station on Joppa Road.
A lawyer for Hess confirmed the existence of a settlement but said the terms are confidential.
"Hess felt the best course to address these long running concerns was to demolish the affected residences, ensure the contaminated land is safe for use with [Maryland Department of the Environment] oversight and transform the land into an attractive public space that will be donated to an appropriate organization for maintaining such properties," said Jon Pepper, a spokesman for Hess.
Roy L. Mason, an Annpolis-based attorney who represents all 17 affected owners, confirmed the existence of a settlement but said the details were confidential.
The settlement and razing of the buildings, which could happen by spring 2013, would bring to an end a concern about petroleum contamination from the station that dates back to 1987, according to the Maryland Department of the Environment.
Most of the contamination is related to fuel odors including some inside homes. Hess installed a pump and treat system to remove gasoline from the groundwater behind the homes and another system to extract the fuel vapors from the soil.
The pump and treat system was discontinued in 2010, according to state records.
Jay Apperson, a spokesman for the state environmental agency, said the department continues to monitor the situation.
"We're aware there has been some discussion about a settlement but we're not a party to the case," Apperson said, adding that the issue continues to be "an open case" for the agency.
"We're awaiting a report from [Hess]," Apperson said.
Because the homes are all on public water and sewer, the residents were not in danger of consuming fuel-contaminated water, Apperson said.
A number of the duplex homes, which date back to 1945, are already vacant.
One resident of an affected property, who declined to identify himself, said he was not allowed to discuss the settlement with Hess and referred a reporter to Mason.
Melvin Teal lives next door to one of the vacant homes.
"We didn't know anything until my neighbor moved out," said Teal, whose home backs up to the station.
The 44-year-old laborer said his home was also affected by the contamination.
"We got all the run-off," said Teal. "It just runs down hill into the yard and basement."
Teal said his basement "smelled so bad that you couldn't go down there to do laundry. There was an oil slick in the sump pump." He ended up digging a trench in the yard in an attempt to divert some of the storm run-off.
About a year ago officials from the Maryland Department of the Environment took samples from his basement, yard and sump pump.
"We've never heard anything." said Teal. "Nobody's told us anything."
Teal, who has lived in the home almost seven years, is not part of the settlement.
"We were told we missed out by five feet," said Teal. "Five feet—that's ridiculous."
Councilman David Marks, who has been working with Hess on the issue, said he understands that the duplexes will be demolished and turned into open space.
"This is a huge deal," said Marks. "The last thing we want is people in the neighborhood seeing these houses being demolished and wondering what is happening."
Once the land is cleared, the property could be turned over to NeighborSpace of Baltimore County, a non-profit organization that maintains open spaces, some times called pocket parks, in areas of the county inside the Beltway.
"We're a long way off from making a decision on this," said Barbara Hopkins, executive director of the land trust.
The organization currently manages about 36 acres of open space in more developed areas of the county. The properties are as large as a 14-acre parcel in Middle River and as small as a three-hundredths of an acre parcel off Stevenson Lane.
Most parcels run about one-quarter of an acre, Hopkins said.
The nearly four-acre parcel in Loch Raven Village, bordering Towson and Parkville, would be one of the larger parcels the organization has acquired.
"There's really no open space there," said Hopkins. "That's the ultimate interest for us but certainly there is some risk for us in taking control of the property."
Most of that concern centers around the presence of petroleum in the soil as well as related contaminants such as MTBE and benzene.
Apperson, the Department of the Environment spokesman, said those are examples of contaminants that could be found dissolved in groundwater, but he could not say either was present in the yards behind the Hess station.
"We're doing our due diligence," Hopkins said. "We want to know how much remediation can be done and can it be used as a park."
Hopkins said the organization will likely bring in a consultant to help them sort out the facts. The fact that the property has some contamination issues doesn't immediately mean the group is not interested, she said.
"As an urban land trust, in areas as densely populated as this, we're going to run into situations like this more and more," Hopkins said. "I don't think, in good conscience, we can walk away from this property because there is some sort of contamination."
"If someone says this land is really hazardous, we'd be less inclined to take it on," said Hopkins.

Raven: I have some idea of the addresses but I'm not using them right now because I could not get them confirmed by the attorney for the homeowners nor the attorney for Hess.

Properties are not located in Loch Raven Village even though they are in 21286.

thanks! I am concerned as I have a friend that lives on that road but is currently incapacitated.
9:51 am on Saturday, November 17, 2012
I hope the county will assist the residents in finding a home, hands-on support for any questions and concerns they may have.
1:37 pm on Saturday, November 17, 2012
That responsibility would lie with Hess, the station operators or MDE, not Baltimore County.
11:11 am on Saturday, November 17, 2012
The concerns regarding contamination date all the way back to 1987?? Why did conditions have to escalate to the point where residents could no longer live in their homes for the MDE to take action? It sounds like another situation where profits were more important than the health and well being of people. Of course, this would just follow suit if you recall the hit man hired to murder 1/2 of the previous ownership to collect insurance money. My heart goes out to the folks affected by this situation. I sincerely hope their health does not decline and they are well compensated for all of this.

FYI, the name of neighborhood is Ridgeleigh. It borders Loch Raven Village, but is not part of it.

This section of homes is in Baynesvile. Across the street from Loch Raven Village and next to Knettishall.

These homes are in a subdivision platted in 1946 as Ridgeleigh. Baynesville is a name for the whole area that goes back into the 1800s.

I'm not a fan of unusual or rediculous government oversite, but this is certainly a situation where the state gov't (MDE and other agencies) looks like they REALLY dropped the ball (and didn't pick it up for 25 years !?!), and still doesn't seem to be looking out for the other citizens who still live nearby...... If I lived anywhere close I'd get a lawyer right away.

I live a few houses away and no one communicated with me! I had to learn about this situation from a friend that saw it on the news! I am so upset about all of this, all I can think about is how this may effect my family's health down the road. I am not happy about how this was handled at all! I've been a resident since 2001 and if I had known this was going on, I would have never bought this house. I'm very disappointed in how Baltimore County handled this!

Elizabeth Carr Memorial Fund Raises $9,170 for Hopkins
Art from the Heart silent auction held Sunday featured art from children at John's Hopkins and benefited the Johns Hopkins Children's Center.
The Elizabeth Carr Memorial Fund (ECMF) raised more than $9,000 for the Johns Hopkins Children's Center at an art show on Sunday at the Severna Park Community Center. The organization hosted Art from the Heart, which featured 68 pieces of artwork created by children treated at Johns Hopkins. The art was auctioned off and between flat donations and silent auction bids, the show raised $4,585. The Elizabeth Carr Memorial Fund then matched the profits and donated $9,170 to the Child Life Department of the Children's Center. "Art from the Heart was a huge success and we are beyond excited with the outcome of our first annual event," said Hannah Carr. Carr and her family established the ECMF after Elizabeth passed away from a brain tumor when …

I will be delighted to personally handcraft a pair especially for you! ^_^
These shoes are suitable both for outdoor and indoor, you will look gorgeous when wearing them!
Insole is in leather and features a stitching which goes all around.
These loafers are lined with a padded inner-sole.
Outsole is man-made and in genuine leather, its thickness is 3mm allover and the edges have been bevelled to give a nicer look.
These loafers are made to order, available from 36 up to 41 European size, please, specify your size before checking out.
★ Shoe sizing ★
In order to pick the right size, please, measure your foot: sit down on a chair and place your foot on top of a ruler on the floor, measure the foot from the very back of the heel to the longest toe and compare the measurement with the following size chart:
if your foot length is ****** suggested size is
22,2 cm---------------------------------- 36
23 cm-------------------------------------37
23,7 cm-----------------------------------38
24,3 cm-----------------------------------39
25 cm-------------------------------------40
25,8 cm-----------------------------------41
Please, consider that my shoes fit small, however, as the leathers I use are very soft, they tend to naturally stretch and after few uses they normally fit like a glove!
More sizing details here:
Bigger or smaller sizes are available upon request, if you need sizes such a 35, 42 or 43, please, purchase the listing:
If you fancy another color or material, just let me know: I love custom orders and I will be happy to sew a pair for you!
All of the shoes are packaged in a nice and handmade textile bag, with satin or organza ribbon, so are perfect as a nice present or while traveling!
I lovingly handcraft all my accessories; this means there can be some very small differences between the pictures and the item you'll receive. I try to keep these differences limited as much as possible, but the handcraft nature of my accessories makes that all of them are one of a kind, thanks for appreciating that!
Please, take a look to my shop policies before your purchase!

Does Your Storeroom Database Do This?
May 20, 2013 10:36 am | by Mike Dyson and James Rogers, Storeroom Solutions, Inc. | CommentsQuite simply, if you can't be sure about finding the right parts at the right time, you are putting planned maintenance compliance, if not the performance of the whole plant, at risk. Many maintenance technicians address this risk by keeping their own unofficial and potentially unauthorized stores; the practice is so common that many plants have an "amnesty day" when technicians can safely reveal those "private" stashes of parts.

Common Menstrual Cycle Myths
As it turns out, women know very little about menstrual cycles. You probably heard about some ridiculous rumors about menstrual cycles – you can go to the gym or swim if you have you period – and although they sound laughable many still believe them. Apart from these, there are actually a lot of other things that haven't been fully explained about menstruation. And we will take this opportunity to set the record straight. In this regard, let us found out the truth about some common menstrual cycle myths.
Myth#1: It is unhealthy to skip a period.
Truth of the matter is, it is normal to skip a period. As a matter of fact, even healthy women may sometimes skip a period, or maybe two. Gynecologists say that even if you don't get have your period for up to three months there is nothing to worry about. However, if you feel pain or experience other symptoms that may indicate it is more than just a missed period, then seeing your OB-GYN would be a smart move.
Myth#2: Hormonal fluctuations during your period can cause food cravings.
Do you always have a big appetite when you have your period? Although there have been many anectodal evidences showing that women have cravings when their menstrual period is about to start, hormonal fluctuations cannot be blamed for this. Even after their periods, women can still have food cravings.
Myth#3: Pregnancy can't occur when you are on your period.
Experts say that women can get pregnant even during their period, but it is a very rare occurrence. It is said that an egg can be released while a woman is menstruating. That said, there is a possibility for pregnancy to occur anytime until the process of ovulation ended.
There is no actual reason why women should refrain from having sexual intercourse during their period. However, experts recommend men to use condoms to avoid the transmission of STDs. Also, the use of colored towels and bed sheets are advised to prevent blood staining.

2) i didnt bother checking cause i thought it was super unlikely sum1 actually asked this before
3) ik who it was too i just used the <3 to mock you
4) Fishy is out of buisiness for a year and i wont be riding for them until they open again next summer. Anything i say on a stupid ass forum has no representation of them as a company. if u make assumtions like that then ur a dipshit.
5) get a sense of humor man. chill the frack out.
thank you for being the only person to post an actual reply to me. +1 fo sho!!!!!Originally Posted by i skim compton
If you get a 5/8 boom it will skim more like the exile pro shape than the 3/4 boom he probably skimmed. Skim city has quite a few 5/8 booms stocked in M,L and maybe other sizes. I personally just ordered a black/blue 5/8 boom should be here today
fishy skimboards is out of business period. we should make this a bannable offense
I've ridden both.
Jason's board is equipped better for east coast lines, wraps, 'nd pulling quick turns. A pin nose and thinner body make it superb for larger more demanding conditions. Just what Jason likes.
Boom's board is what I'm on now and is great for gulf but will still work fine on the east side, and is great for technical/small wave skimming. A wider body and fatter nose makes it able to plane out adequately far.
It all depends on what you like.
thanks thats exactly what i wanted 2 know. +1 fo sho man.Originally Posted by Benji

Integrated Test During PregnancyThe integrated test is done during pregnancy to check for Down syndrome and for open neural tube problems. The test is done in two stages at two different times during the pregnancy. You will get the results after the tests in the second trimester are done.
The results of all these tests are reviewed to see if levels are higher or lower than expected, and the results are reported after the second stage.
