Town Square
Press Support for Eric Holder waning
Original post made by Menlo Observer, Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park, on May 30, 2013
1. New York Times
2. Associated Press
4. Huffington Post
Now records reveal that the IRS commissioner Shulman had visited the White House more than 157 times during the Obama Administration and only once during the Bush Administration. Bush respected the independence of the IRS and never used it to go after political enemies. Obama, of course got caught doing exactly that, and now is trying to worm his way out of it.
The House will be investigating this and the Obama Administration will continue to abuse its power by attempting to thwart the investigation. This brings back memories of Watergate. If the evidence gathered points to criminal activity on the part of the President then that would be considered High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
The White House-DOJ-IRS fiasco will most certainly keep Nancy Pelosi on the sidelines during the remainder of the Obama 2nd term as the Republicans gain seats in the House during the 2014 mid-term election. Republicans could even pick up enough votes to win the Senate.
But Democrats should not worry. There won't be enough votes in the Senate to convict Obama on House impeachment charges. So the disgraced Obama will limp along during his last two years as a wounded president with waning influence.
The Democratic Party, in the interest of self preservation, will abandon him politically as it tries to distance itself from Obama in hopes of salvaging the 2016 presidential election.

"an off the record press conference regarding the abuse of the IRS"
WRONG. Even Breitbart didn't make such a stupid error.
The Holder meeting is NOT about the IRS, but are meetings "which are being held to discuss changes to the Justice Department's guidelines for subpoenas of reporters."
Much like the erroneous 'thinking' which went into Menlo Observers original error, the rest is also noise without substance.
"The Democratic Party, in the interest of self preservation, will abandon him politically as it tries to distance itself from Obama in hopes of salvaging the 2016 presidential election."
really? Obama's popularity indicates otherwise. RCP:
Poll Date Sample Favorable Unfavorable Spread
RCP Average 3/20 - 5/28 -- 52.2 45.8 +6.4
Compare that with Bush in 2006.
Or any current Republican office holder.
But Menlo-Observer knows history (!) - just look at how many times M-O saw McCain speak publicly with Bush in 2008. And how many times did Romney campaign publicly with Bush in 2012?

President Barack Obama's job approval rating has plunged in the wake of the trifecta of scandals surrounding his administration, the Quinnipiac University poll has found.
Fewer than half the registered voters surveyed now believe Obama is "honest and trustworthy," according to the poll That figure had stood at 58 percent the last time the question was asked in September 2011. Now it is at 45 percent.
And it is the scandal involving the Internal Revenue Service that is hitting Obama the hardest, the survey found. The voters, who were surveyed between Wednesday last week and Tuesday of this week, believe that controversy is more worrying than those surrounding the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, or the seizure of phone records from journalists.
According to the Quinnipiac survey, more people now view the president negatively than positively. Slightly under half -- 49 percent -- say they have a negative view of Obama, while 45 percent have a positive view.

Menlo Observer won't comment on her errors in the first post, instead she deflects and shifts to polls. There's a reason to use a composite of numerous polls; after the last election, you would think conservatives would understand that. Or is Karl Rove still protesting that Romney has a chance?
About the Q poll, if you take other polls into the mix, you get the RCP results I posted this morning.
"Quinnipiac's results stand in contrast to Gallup, which has found that Obama's approval rating has gone largely unchanged since the IRS scandal and other controversies. According to its Gallup Daily Tracking poll, the president has a 50 percent approval and 43 percent disapproval." Read more: Web Link
M-O and the Bachman-ettes are so hoping to find any real evidence of a scandal, so much so, that until then they are just making it up. Ask Bob Dole, who said yesterday that Reagan wouldn't be welcome in today's GOP.
You know, I notice that M-O doesn't list the favorables of John Boehner, the House GOP or any other national GOP elected official. Frankly, off the top of my head, the only republican I can think of with better numbers than the president is the guy who walked the shore boardwalk yesterday with Obama... Chris Christie.

It is a well known fact that the IRS went after a couple of churches after it was revealed that ministers and/or guest speakers at church services gave anti-Bush and anti-Iraq war sermons.
I'm a registered independent. So I don't care what party it is - but it is no secret that IRS has been used to intimidate all sorts of people, companies and so on. Don't forget that Al Capone went to jail for tax evasion, not for murder and racketeering.

Eric Holder was a good jurist. Unfortunately when he joined the Obama Administration he allowed himself to be inveigled into committing crimes that he would not otherwise be predisposed to doing. Watch for a resignation in the following months. Another formerly good person falls on his sword to keep the corrupt Obama in power.

Crimes that he would not otherwise be predisposed to doing? Care to make a list, PO?

Corrupt Obama? Based on what? A couple dummies in Cincinatti?
What a joke!
The repugnicans never did any of the things they promised in 2010 (Boehner: jobs are job #1) and now they are just going to obstruct the economy until 2016.
35 Obamacare repeal votes, dozens of abortion votes and ZERO JOBS BILLS
Along the way, they'll build a meme (based on nothing) to get the low knowledge voter to think the GOP thugs should get a chance over Hilary.
Smear, fear and monger. That's todays' GOP. Who needs facts? Make it up!

You Obama sycophants have really drunk the kool aid. There is little doubt that Eric Holder will resign under a cloud of suspicion. The only thing left to be determined is when he will make his ignominious exit.
"Holder is directly involved in essentially every aspect of President Obama's second-term scandalpalooza. Not only did he sign off on the search warrant for Fox News's James Rosen's personal emails, he is at the center of questions over the state's broad surveillance of the AP, an operation that has raised hackles across the political spectrum regarding First Amendment issues and civil-liberties concerns." "even the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative and Tea Party groups for special scrutiny—[finds its] nexus at the top of the Justice Department."
Pelosi's prospects are also very dim. It is very unlikely she will be Speaker of the House in the next two terms. The only chance she has is in the 2018 mid-term elections and she will be yesterday's news by then. Obama's socialist redistributionist policies have not resonated with the majority of Americans. The only reasons he won the last election were:
1) Romney ran an ineefectively weak campaign, and
2) The press were actively campaigning for Obama
2016 will be a rebuilding year get get the United States back on track after 8 years of failed socialism. The prospects for the Democratic party are inauspicious at this point. However, the Republicans face the daunting task up proffering a candidate who can appeal outside the narrow focus of the right by opening the aperture with moderate social policies that will resonate with independents.
Right now the far right wing of the Republican Party is the Democrats last hope for the presidency in 2016. I for one hope that the moderate Republicans can win the battle with the far right and revitalize the Republican party and our great nation.

Failed socialism?!?!?!?!?! Do you fools know how crazy you sound to middle America when you freak out like that?
Explain how the Dow is near records if our capitalist system is now a bastion of socialism! Did we nationalize Exxon and BP? I must have missed the news.
Dude, you're just got blinders on for Fox, Krauthammer and dizzy Walsh. You should at least put a link or attribution to your copy and paste.
Keep up making excuses for Romney though - that's always a fun read for us! Dude got blown away by a weak president in a recession, a minority at that, and still lost by over FIVE MILLION VOTES! You guys had no candidates at all this time around, and no one on the horizon. If you couldn't beat Obama in 2012, what on earth makes you think you'll find a tea party whacko that can beat a stronger Hillary in 2016? Ted Cruz?
Please! Run, Ted, run!

Mitt Romney was not a weak candidate. He was far better and stronger than the rest of the field. Solid business experience. Great family, with the wonderful George Romney as patriarch. Good looking, charming, clean, wholesome and smart enough to repeat all the right things.
Except he was never programmed to repeat the most important thing. Romney lost because he never explained how he was different than George Bush. Romney had too many Bush team members on his team. How Mitt Romney managed to get 47 percent with all that Bush baggage is beyond me.

Romney lost by less than 5 million votes not by more than 5 million votes as Ted erroneously stated.
Über liberal Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz said regarding Ted Cruz:
"Cruz was a "terrific student. He was always very active in class, presenting a libertarian point of view. He didn't strike me as a social conservative, more of a libertarian."
"He had brilliant insights and he was clearly among the top students, as revealed by his class responses," Dershowitz added.
Dershowitz said he and Cruz would often debate issues presented in Dershowitz's criminal law class. "Cruz's views were always thoughtful and his responses were interesting,"
Dershowitz said "Cruz's career has not surprised me. I thought he would go on to accomplish important things."
Dershowitz further said "Cruz was an outstanding student in my class. "Without a doubt he is among the smartest students I've ever had… I've had great students but he has to be at the top of anyone's short list, in terms of raw brain power."

Electoral vote... Obama 332 ... Romney 206
Popular vote..... Obama 65,899,660 ... Romney 60,932,152
Percentage....... Obama 51.1% ... Romney 47.2%
4,967,508 vote margin of victory for Obama
*** "Obama got 51.1 percent of the popular vote to Mitt Romney's 47.2 percent, a four point margin. (Let's all pause for a moment and savor the fact that history will show that Romney won … 47 percent.) That's a wider margin than George W. Bush won by in 2004 (51-48), when pundits on the right like Charles Krauthammer declared that he had earned a mandate.
*** That makes Obama the first president to crack 51 percent two elections in a row since Dwight Eisenhower more than a half-century ago. (Sorry, conservatives, Ronald Reagan only reached 50.75 percent in 1980.)
*** Obama piling up 332 electoral votes. You can think of it another way: There is no state in Obama's column which would have swung the election to Romney had he won it. In other words, if Romney had pulled a stunning upset and won California's 55 electoral votes … he'd still have lost."

Dershowitz said nice things about his student of of 30ish years ago?
That's nice.
"Dershowitz also gave a high estimate of Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren — who has decidedly different political views than Cruz."
"Dershowitz places Cruz alongside Warren among the Senate's smartest members.
"Their election raised the IQ level of the Senate discernibly. The two of them have to be among the smartest senators now," Dershowitz said." Read more: Web Link

So who is this chameleon Cruz?
A libertarian like Ron Paul, a tea partier like Michelle Bachman or a Republican like Mitt Romney? Sounds like he is trying to be many things to many people. Will be fascinating to see what he claims to be when he settles on a persona.
Warren for president? Not in a million years.

Not one of my many Liberal friend is appalled at this massive breach of our rights as citizens. They all commiserate with the IRS and Holder because the other side got what they deserved. The lack of a defense of our Constitutional principles by Liberals is what truly worries me.

I would be just as outraged if Attorney General John Ashcroft did this as I am that Attorney General Eric Holder did this. Fortunately, I'm in reasonable company with right wingers like Jonathan Turley, Jon Stewart and Bill Maher.
I would suggest that those posting on this thread calm down. The last election was just seven months ago and voters made a clear choice. November 2016 will come soon enough and you'll have plenty of time to rev your search engines and make your respective points while ignoring those made by your adversaries.
It's all so entertaining...

If you don't like it then get a constitutional amendment. Only one problem it will never happen.
In 1980 Ronald Reagan received 489 electoral votes. Jimmy Carter received 49 electoral votes. In 1984 Ronald Regan received 525 electoral votes and Walter Mondale only received 13. Even Bill Clinton's affair with Walter Mondale's daughter Eleanor Mondale did not help Walter Mondale.
In 2008 Barack Obama received 365 electoral votes and John McCain received 173 electoral votes. In 2012 Barack Obama received 332 electoral votes and Mitt Romney received 206 electoral votes.
Never in the history of our nation have there been victories like the back-to-back victories of Ronald Reagan. Obama does not even come close.
And before you libs make idiotic arguments about getting rid of the electoral college. Do you think for one moment that Joe Biden would agree to giving up 2/3 of Delaware's vote in every presidential election? Do you think Patrick Leahy would agree to giving up 2/3 of Vermont's vote in every presidential election. The answer is a resounding No.
Given the very unlikely event that a constitutional amendment to abolish the electoral college passed through both houses of Congress how do you propose to get 3/4 of the states to ratify if only 17 states would benefit to the detriment of 33 states.
So for presidential elections the popular vote is meaningless. Only the electoral vote counts. And thank God for that. It kept that blowhard Al Gore from becoming president. What a freaking disaster that would have been.

The "lib" bashers love to point to Reagan, but never acknowledge his party has left him while simultaneously lionizing him. Reagan couldn't make it past the primaries in today's GOP. Neither could either Bush.
But even with the fabrications about Clinton (Eleanor Mondale? c'mon now...), Clinton would cakewalk both the primaries and general if still eligible. The man is off the charts popular.
How could Gore have been a worse disaster than the known disaster called Bush? Taking surpluses and doubling the national debt? Nope, Bush 'won' that one! Two almost endless wars with no possible "victory"? Nope, Bush 'won' that also!
Becoming a post election success? Did Bush win that by virtue of his paintings? Nice try, Dubya, though we do ALL appreciate your hiding yourself from the public due to the shame. That's at least one point in his favor. Even the GOP is thrilled he has gone into hiding, at least during the election seasons.

When Bush took office the National Debt was $5.662T. When he left office the national debt was 10.700T. The increase to the national debt was $5.038T or .630T per year.
When Obama took office the National debt was 10.700T and is now 16.745T. In 4 years and 5 months Obama has increased the Debt 6.045T or 1.369T a year. So for every dollar Bush ran up the debt Obama has run up the debt by $2.17.
Obama is running up the national debt far greater than Bush could have dreamed of doing. Tax and Redistribute Socialism at work.

Funny, no one defends Bush opposed to Gore anymore. Quite understandable. Gore may be quite the wooden bore, but has been proved correct regarding his views on climate change and the Iraqi war.
I voted for every Republican since President Gerald Ford, except in 2004. I am proud of my votes for Mr. Reagan, and somewhat for George Bush (father) and Mr. Dole, though Mr. Clinton certainly had his success in cutting government. My vote for Bush (son) makes me sad. I did not vote for him in 2004. I voted for Senator McCain. I held my nose and voted for Mitt Romney. I don't think if Mr. Romney won, I do not know if I would be very proud of my vote if I make it another 20 years; that was a difficult choice. We shall never know.
As to the debt, Bush had the first trillion dollar deficit and left a terrible economy, the worst in my lifetime. We are on the correct track with jobs compared to where Bush left us. It is certainly not up to snuff, but who is to blame for that?
I do not understand anyone, especially conservatives, defending George W. Bush. He will be viewed as the worst president in recent history, at least since Nixon. Mr. Obama has done a reasonable job digging us out of the hole George Bush left.

The New York Times, the darling of many liberals in Menlo Park because it leans further to the left than Pravda and ITAR/TASS has reported in Today's newspaper
"While the White House publicly backed Mr. Holder as he tried to smooth over the latest uproar amid new speculation about his future, some in the West Wing privately tell associates they wish he would step down, viewing him as politically maladroit."
"The White House is apoplectic about him, and has been for a long time,"

"The New York Times, the darling of many liberals in Menlo Park because it leans further to the left than Pravda..."
See: Carnegie, Dale; and "How to Win Friends & Influence People"
What a bunch of noise. Liberals (despite the occasional self-induced hopeful delusions that Obama was a true liberal) knew all along that the two most centrist candidates in 2008 were Obama and Hillary. Obama hasn't changed from centrist, despite the blowhard above who constantly screams "SOCIALIST!" at the top of his lungs, because that's what MO's media choices tell him.
Obama infuriates liberals on any number of issues: Keystone, surveillance, drones, refusal to take a stand against GOP obstructionism, etc.. That said, the topic is about Holder. I'll wait to hear actual evidence of any crimes. Until then, it appears to me that Holder is just following the footsteps of the GOP congress that wanted leaks suppressed at all costs in the name of national security.
Again, I haven't heard many liberals mount a vociferous defense of Eric Holder.
Remember: my 'leaker' is your 'whistleblower', and vice versa...
As for Menlo Observer and the couple of other posts about popularity.... we all know the words used to describe today's GOP:
"closed-minded, racist, rigid, old-fashioned."
Those words, of course, are from today's release of a report on the GOP popularity.
A report written by...
wait for it.......
(you know where this is going.....)
yes: it's the report released today, by....
The College REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
"closed-minded, racist, rigid, old-fashioned."
Web Link "A new postmortem on the November elections from the nation's leading voice for college Republicans offers a searing indictment of the GOP "brand" and the major challenges the party faces in wooing young voters, according to a copy given exclusively to POLITICO on Sunday."
On economics: "We've become the party that will pat you on your back when you make it, but won't offer you a hand to help you get there."
So, is Obama a 'true' liberal? Hell, no. He's a centrist. But he sure as hell beats the alternative, which were two fellas that never told us how they were different from Dubya. That won't stop me from supporting Obama when he's correct (exiting Iraq and Jobs bills,) push him in the right direction when he needs help (Keystone,) as well as chastise him when he's wrong, like on the surveillance issue.
As for the constant noise and scandal mongering (IRS) by Darryl Issa? Expected. Annoying. Frustrating. Damaging to both Obama and the GOP when they are proved wrong. But we all know the GOP is in trouble when Issa himself covers his bomb-throwing with phrases that contain the following words: "We understand" and "in all likelihood".
In other words - he ain't got nuthin'...
Keep it up Darryl. You're just feeding the trolls that like posting noise about Pravda and TASS. You're ticking off good republicans like Hilde. And reminding the public of what the YOUNG REPUBLICAN's report said today:
"closed-minded, racist, rigid, old-fashioned."

The Young Republican's report said that "To young voters, the Republican Party can appear "closed-minded, racist, rigid, and old-fashioned." This was not the view of the Young Republicans it was its perception of how young voters perceived the Republican party.

Now MSNBC is now withdrawing support for Eric holder. MSNBC sometimes refered to as MSLSD for its far left views is no longer defending Eric Holder.
If Holder decides to "spend more time with his family" it won't be for the crimes he has allegedly committed; it will be because he is a political liability. In Obama's eyes Executive Branch members can commit all the crimes they want in furtherance of the Obama administration's goals; just don't get caught. Unfortunately for Holder he got caught.
Obama has no loyalty, except to himself. If you are perceived as a liability then you are gone. It does not matter how much you have sacrficed for Obama cuz it's just politics.

The GOP overreach continues.
Scandal (real or imagined) is not an Agenda.
Other than anti-abortion votes and the 37th failure to repeal Obamacare, the GOP House has done nothing this year.

Not that the Senate budget is any more likely to pass the House than the House Austerity Budget will pass the Senate, but the Senate passed it's budget around the same time in late March.
Of course, the most interesting budget proposal didn't pass either branch. It's the budget that creates jobs, rebuilds America's infrastructure, hires teachers, and balances itself far faster than Paul Ryan's budget.

The Peoples Budget: Web Link
Forbes said:
"instead of gutting programs for the poor like Medicaid and Medicare, food stamps, and the new healthcare law, the People's Budget focuses on cuts in defense. It also doesn't scrap new financial regulations designed to at least partly stave off another massive financial collapse like the one that put us in this mess in the first place."
The Economist - "Courageous"
"Mr Ryan's plan adds (by its own claims) $6 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, but promises to balance the budget by sometime in the 2030s by cutting programmes for the poor and the elderly. The Progressive Caucus's plan would (by its own claims) balance the budget by 2021 by cutting defence spending and raising taxes, mainly on rich people."

Actually, I don't "enjoy" this at all. And an increasingly number of Americans appear to feel the same way. Disgust with politicians has become the new American pastime.
While this may be political theater to you and others, whether it's the intransigence of John Boehner and Mitch McConnell or the obstinance of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, an increasing number of people are getting tired of this unproductive political gamesmanship. And just doing it "their" way, isn't the answer, either.
Politicians ignore this change at their own peril. Keeping track of political points has gotten very old.

Is it tracking "political points"? Or is it tracking "the stupid"?
So, other than a budget that will never be implemented, and the 37th attempt to repeal the ACA, and oh yeah, some anti-abortion votes, the House has done nothing this year.
Except that changes TODAY!
"House Republicans are scheduled to vote on two separate budget bills this week, each of which would reject funding for the poverty activism group ACORN, despite the fact that ACORN disbanded three years ago." Web Link

MV: Nah, just a mere bob to the side, like for any other invalid assumption. Much like it's okey-dokie-artichokey for someone to shift the discussion onto the Senate ("it's demonstrably more than the Senate has done") but when his/her point is being dismembered (Senate passed a budget also... Big Whoop-de-doo...) then to imply gamesmanship.
What I find most disheartening is the general lack of condemnation for the veritable filth we saw above 19 hours ago. More important to try to score a point in the House v Senate meme.
But I'm the one who was supposed to duck? Nah....

Then chrisitue calls for the special election to be on a ddifferent day than his reelection because he. Needs lowedrf turnout on his election day. Cory's special election would swamp Christies election with dems, so hypocrite christie spends taxpayer money for two elections instead of one.

Thank you, poster 'old man'.
Can't ignore them, like Menlo Observer's lies and fabrications. MO lies in so many posts, he has to be called on them. He started this whole thread on a LIE.
Look at his original post and the LIE that Bush appointee "Shulman had visited the White House more than 157 times". Menlo Observer heard it from Bill O'reily, Breitbart or any of the other fringe loons that read a sentence and failed to read the whole thing.
But THAT IS A LIE.
O'Reily has known since Friday it is a LIE and still repeats it. (I know, you're all just shocked at that, aren't you?)
Fact: Shulman was CLEARED by the Secret service for a visit about 150 times, but only visited the West Wing a few times, and the rest of the White House complex (the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, Old Executive Office Building, etc..)
"The Fake Story About the IRS Commissioner and the White House - White House records show Douglas Shulman signed in for 11 visits, not 157, between 2009 and 2012.
Garance Franke-Ruta May 31 2013, 10:35 AM ET " Web Link
Never believe the claims of Menlo Observer. He rarely substantiates them with valid links, and never comes back and corrects them.
Poster 'lying eyes' called him on his MSNBC claim, and Menlo Observer hasn't backed that one up either.
Menlo Observer started this thread with lies, continued for days, and now has disappeared when called on it.
The filth he posted on Jun 3, 2013 at 6:10 pm, needs to come down.

Support for the Democratic Party is waning. It is now the party of the Left Coast and New England. But there is hope for Hillary. She can mount a campaign for 2020. If she runs I am sure she would get at least 75% of Menlo Park's vote.

"Support for the Democratic Party is waning" Yes, they have problems, but there is hidden strength.
Clinton 65 million votes 2016
D Trump 62 million votes 2016
B Obama 65 million votes 2012
Democratic presidential candidates have won the popular vote in something like 6 of the last 7 elections. Things are bad, but there is a core. They need to do a LOT of work in statehouses, as well as curb all gerrymandering, even their own.

The dems "core" is in California and New York which is where all the extra popular votes came from for Clinton. The dems lost the fly over states and much of that like Michigan used to be a strong part of their base. No more. As long as we have an Electoral College the popular vote doesn't matter as far as that's concerned. Until the dems start appealing to the states that matter they won't matter.

Only lost Michigan Wisconsin and Pennsylvania by approximately 100k votes.
Do not belittle winning the economic engines of America - CA and the coastal "elites". Red state welfare wouldn't work if it was just Iowa sending money to Wyoming.
Clinton lost. Trump lost the popular vote by 3 million and his thing skin hates that.

CBS NEWS November 10, 2016 - Donald Trump called Electoral College "a disaster"
Trump called the electoral college a disaster - insulting Donald Trump with your argument, aren't you? "The more you make the case that the dems won the popular vote but not the election only reinforces how dumb you/they are."
Impeccable logic, followed with all that evidence - not. Really follows the one person/one vote concept of democracy practiced in the states but not at the federal level.
Just like Trump himself, it drives you crazy that millions more Americans voted for Clinton over Trump. He couldn't even beat Obama's 2012 totals:
Clinton 65 million votes 2016
D Trump 62 million votes 2016
B Obama 65 million votes 2012
You remember 2012, don't you?
That's the night that TRUMP HIMSELF tweeted out the following (he has since removed them from his TL due to the embarrassment he has inflicted upon his short-fingered self):
This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!
8:33 PM - 6 Nov 2012
The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.
8:45 PM - 6 Nov 2012
Our country is now in serious and unprecedented trouble...like never before.
8:39 PM - 6 Nov 2012
Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us.
8:30 PM - 6 Nov 2012
We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!
8:29 PM - 6 Nov 2012
In several tweets he later deleted, Trump wondered how Obama won even though Republican nominee Mitt Romney had more votes (though in the end, Obama won the popular vote as well).
"He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election," Trump tweeted. "We should have a revolution in this country!"

The popular vote doesn't mean anything in the Presidential election and it NEVER has. It's about the electoral college. If candidates are smart they play to the electoral college which is what actually gets them elected. Clinton blew it. She totally blew off states that were traditionally democratic voters assuming they would continue to vote that way. They didn't. You know what happens when one assumes.

Lovely little apartment in a fantastic location. Very quiet side street which was good, and it wasn't too hot despite the fact that Paris was sweltering. High enough up to be able to leave the windows open overnight. Some of the instructions - e.g. How to get rid of the rubbish - were out of date and there was a bit of confusion about picking the key up but it worked out in the end and otherwise was an absolutely super place for anyone spending time in the Latin Quarter. I'd stay there again.
Apart from aggravation upon arrival when I was kept waiting 45 minutes in spite of having clearly made an appointment with the host, all was fine.
The house is like you see in the picture very pretty . The owner was friendly and helpful .Unique defect cleaning and linen change in a week that were never performed .
Es tal y como se describe. Ideal para dos personas, bien comunicado para ir a cualquier parte (RER B a 2 minutos) y en buena zona para pasear París.
Muy bien situado aunque un tanto ruidoso.
La chica que nos atendió apenas nos explicó nada y se fue rápido.
Tiene todo lo necesario para estar a gusto, aunque de la tele por cable, sólo hay una cadena en español.
Hay cerca buenos restaurantes, panaderías y tiendas de alimentación.
funktionell eingerichtetes und ausgestattetes, ruhig gelegenes Appartement in unmittelbarer Nähe der RER Station Luxembourg (direkte Verbindung zum Flughafen CDG)
Einziges kleines Manko war, dass die Heizung abgestellt war.

Our stay in this appartment was perfect! Clean, cute, perfectly situated, close to École Militaire metro stop, bars&restaurants, and grocery stores. Jérémy was kind and helpful, he even let us leave our luggage until late during the last day. The only problem we found is the bathroom no-door situation. Having a curtain replacing a door, especially in a bathroom, is really awkward. But the rest was all ok! I totally recommend it.
Beautiful apartment in a great central location! It has everything you need and is the perfect size. The bed is very comfortable and I love the apartment's quirky and clean decor. My only critique is that the shower drain was quite blocked and so the water would fill up quickly at the bottom, and the water would sometimes change temperature... But this was not a big deal to us. :) <3

The halftime break offered the Lakers an opportunity to gather themselves and reinforce their specific goals for the game. Among those goals was the victimization of the hapless Hornets; not all that many of New Orleans' players are confident ball-handlers or passers, making the entire team very vulnerable to swarms of pressure from unexpected directions. Bryant (who logged three steals for the evening, and thrived in transition en route to 29 points) was particularly effective in attacking Hornets players from their blind side, sometimes streaking all the way across the court in his attempts to swipe the ball away. Against most opponents, that kind of gamble would result in the Lakers getting burned with a quick pass-out and an open shot. But on this occasion, players like Austin Rivers and Roger Mason Jr. — who were already pressured by their own defenders — struggled to identify Bryant's gambit before it was too late.Ultimately, it was the ripple effects of that heavy pressure that doomed the Hornets' offense. New Orleans' turnover numbers (12 TOs overall, which on a per-possession basis is actually better than their season average) weren't at all damning, but their play progression was regularly derailed by the Lakers flocking as a team toward the ball. On a given possession, a Metta World Peace tip, the ensuing bobble, and Dwight Howard hedge later, and the shot clock had already begun to close in on the Hornets from behind — forcing them into rushed execution and difficult attempts. New Orleans handled that pressure well in spots, but simply failed to do so consistently against an opponent committed to disrupting their passes and dribbles with active hands.
New Orleans has been surprisingly decent on offense this year, and their scoring output on a per-possession basis registered as the 13th best mark in the league coming into this game. But their personnel only allows for a fairly simple approach, particularly with Anthony Davis and Eric Gordon out of the lineup. Hornets head coach Monty Williams has his team running their pet play actions well, but executing simple sets reliably shouldn't soon be confused with resilient offense. At the moment, the Hornets' arsenal is dependable — it just isn't particularly adaptable. Such is inevitable when the entire machine hinges on Greivis Vasquez, who put together a solid 16 points, nine assists, and five rebounds but can't well carry the creative load of an entire team when the Lakers are coming at him in waves.
Such is inevitable when the entire machine hinges on Greivis Vasquez, who put together a solid 16 points, nine assists, and five rebounds but can't well carry the creative load of an entire team when the Lakers are coming at him in waves.
16 points on 19 shots, nine assists with 4 TOs in a 20 point loss
Lost to a team no business losing to tonite.
5-15 on the year. Wow.
Eric "Cornerstone" Gordon would have this team at 15-5
5-15 on the year. Wow.
10-10 if lucky...
You obviously didn't watch him light up the Clippers games with 20 ppgs then. The guy is the next superstar if he can stay healthy.

Tri Angle Records presents: Let Me Shine For You (Lindsay Lohan Witch House Covers Mixtape)
Lindsay Lohan went to jail, so Tri Angle Records put together a witch house mixtape for DIS Magazine, that finds 5 of LiLo's songs (yes, she is/was a singer) getting a creeped out treatment.
Organized by Robin Carolan of the 20 Jazz Funk Greats blog and Tri Angle Records, the mix was "inspired in part by Lindsay Lohan's grotesquely fascinating black hole existence and in part by my unwavering belief in the power of pop music as an artform". Shine For You features reinterpretations of Lohan songs by Autre Ne Veut, Laurel Halo, Babe Rainbow, oOoOO, Stalker and Oneohtrix Point Never.
In the label's words, "even though we are all fond of Lindsay in our own ways, there is no FREE LINDSAY agenda here. We all love pop music and this is merely an experiment. All of our intentions are very sincere."
In short: AMAZING. Download Shine For You here.

HUMULIN N (human insulin [rDNA origin] isophane) suspension is a human insulin suspension. Human insulin is produced by recombinant DNA technology utilizing a non-pathogenic laboratory strain of Escherichia coli. HUMULIN N is a suspension of crystals produced from combining human insulin and protamine sulfate under appropriate conditions for crystal formation.

It beat Hayden 26-6 on Friday in Oak Creek, snapping a 10-year losing streak to its cross-county rival. The Rams won the battle on the offensive and defensive lines, and that paved the way for a dominating running attack that controlled the tempo of the game.

By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(May 27, 2008)--The Blue Star Contemporary Art Center, UTSA Women's Studies Institute and the UTSA Mexico Center will host a panel discussion, "Arte Latina: Latina Voices," at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, May 29 in the Blue Star gallery in Suite 116 at Alamo and Probandt streets. With a reception following at 8:30 p.m., the event is free and open to the public.
Today's headlines

Article tools
Moderated by Ellen Riojas Clark, UTSA professor of bicultural-bilingual studies, the panel will feature the artists with works in the "Arte Latina: ROAR" exhibit on display at Blue Star through June 8. The well-received show is the first all-women, all-Latina group exhibit in Blue Star's 23-year history.
"The panel discussion will be an opportunity for the artists of our current exhibit to voice their insight into the ideas and complexity of their work," said Roland Mazuca, Blue Star assistant director and education director. "The event is a great occasion for the community to come out and hear more on this amazing group of San Antonio Latina artists."
Panelists will include artists Vanessa R. Centeno, Adriana García, Vanessa García-Briedé, Frances Marie Herrera, Tess Martínez, Irma Carolina Rubio, Elizabeth Rodríguez, Kathy Vargas, Laura Varela, Carla Velíz, Luisa Wheeler, Guillermina Zabala and Rosemary Catacalos, and Arturo Almeida, "Arte Latina: ROAR" curator and UTSA art specialist.
As exhibit curator and panel co-organizer, Almeida chose the title, "Arte Latina: ROAR," because of its strong association with the feminist era as well as the excitement and empowerment connected with the exhibit pieces. The exhibition is underwritten by The Tobin Endowment with support from the Alice Kleberg Reynolds Foundation.
For more information, contact Zinnia Dunis Salcedo, Blue Star Contemporary Art Center, at (210) 227-6960. Gallery hours are noon-6 p.m., Wednesday-Sunday.

We call Middlefield Road the Bible Belt. With the JCC and now a Mosque on San Antonio, we will have to think up a nickname for it. How about the Wailing Wall, oh sorry, that is already gone.

I believe one of the duties of a mosque is to have a 'call to worship' 5 times a day. In India where I grew up, it used to be done over a public loudspeaker and could be as early as 4 AM in the morning.
The question I have is on how the local mosques handle the public call to worship? And how does this proposed mosque plan to handle this?
Can someone clarify for me please?

When we were relocated to an Islamic country, the Chinese people in the HR department took us out to find a rental house. Their number one priority was to find us a home that was farthest away from a Mosque, for that same reason - the blaring calls to prayer 5 times a day over a loud speaker.
I also remember that Friday afternoons were especially busy.
Your link brought back memories.

I am a Bohra living in London, England. The call to pray is done inside the building and not broadcast outside. This would be pointless as the people outside of no reason to hear it and would be annoyed. Friday afternoons may be busy but it depends on how many people live there and use the building.

Currently the call to prayer at the Jamil Masjid on California Avenue takes place within the mosque, according to Mohammad Jamil of Jamil Oriental Carpets (and a mosque attendee). The new south Palo Alto mosque planned for construction does not plan to observe the five prayers a day but will have a call to prayer any time prayer is offered. The new mosque will be active mainly during Friday sermons/prayers and for special occasions. Of course, people can drop in at any point for personal prayer.

Excuse me, but is there anyone aware of a single Islamic country that lives peacefully with its neighboring non-Islamic countries, or that affords its own non-Islamic people equal rights? Is there anything special about Palo Alto or anywhere else in the Western world, that will prevent this same pattern of inequality and conflict from taking root, once their numbers increase enough?

mosques obviously operate differently in muslim countries than they do here, given differences in the surrounding culture and society. the vast majority, if not all mosques in america and in western countries preform the call to prayer inside to respect the fact neighbors don't want to hear it.
it's too easy to throw the blame on religion. what about local culture? economic disparity? corrupt governments? a historically western-centered world favoring western countries? plus colonial influences, especially from the british. don't you think many muslims immigrants leave their countries to get away from problems in their homeland stemming from such historical and socio-economic factors? why on earth would they recreate them here?
america has separation of church and state, the supreme court and the bill of rights. provided that the system doesn't fall apart, the so called 'patterns' you fear will be kept in check. a mosque in palo alto won't hurt anyone.
people tend to fear the unknown. why don't you visit a mosque and see what really goes on within the walls yourself?

It is so obvious when you observe a religion with which you are not familiar, how ridiculous and illogical and unreal it is. It is really hard to understand how any reasonable person could go along with it. Utter make believe, believed fervently. Make believe magic, make believe god forced on children who then believe it when the grow up. So much no-sense, so much blood shed over nothing.

Two Basic,
I thought Indonesia was reasonably mellow as far as its neighbors are concerned. And I hadn't heard of anything massively dicriminatory re: their treatment of the Hindu/Buddhist Balinese.

Two Basic Questions, no one is saying the Jewish Community Center is unwelcome because of the actions of Israel, so I think you should extend the same courtesy to the people involved with the mosque, namely judging them as individuals and not by the actions of foreign countries.

Somebody mentioned Indonesia as a Muslim country at peace with its neighbors and that gave its non-Muslim citizens equal rights. I don't think that Indonesia is a very good example. But please keep looking.
Indonesia borders Timor-Leste, a majority Roman Catholic country. Though the two countries are on better terms today, Indonesia invaded Timor Leste in 1975, claiming to be fighting Comminists, and in the ensuing fight, many Timorese died and the Timorese infrastructure was mostly destroyed. Indonesian forces tried to stay in power, even after the Timorese voted for the return of their independence, so the Indonesian-led forces had to be kicked out by an Australian-led peacekeeping force around 2001. So much for peace with neighbors.
And since human rights are an issue of contention between the US and Indonesia, because of womens' rights issues, workers rights, such things as it being a crime to insult the president or vice president, female circumcision still in practice, and sharia law becoming stronger there, and since the 2005 bombing of tourists in Bali occurred in Indonesia, and that bomb just didn't fall out of the sky,
so that with a 90% Muslim population, I'd say its a fair bet that non-Muslims in Indonesia are second class citizens.

After the ending of Indonesia's Suharno dictatorship in 1998, East Timor peacefully seceded. Indonesia's also managed to hold an open election. It's far from a perfect place, but it's not a country that wars on its neighbors (Timor was part of Indonesia) nor is religious friction a huge issue.
Basically, you're moving the goalposts. You have friction in many Muslim countries, but you can't extrapolate the effects of colonialism and its aftermath in any of these countries. Indonesia does remarkably well given that a bunch of cultures were basically thrown together for the convenience of the Dutch.
Jordan strikes me as a country trying quite hard to maintain peace with its neighbors.
As others have pointed out, Muslims in this country are not the same as the governments of Muslim countries. (Besides, plenty of the Muslims I know are actually from India--lots of Muslims come from countries that aren't seen as Muslim.)

Having a mosque in your midst is the same as having a church or a synogogue. No different. We all live and work together, so why should our way of worship be a source of concern. It does not change us as to who we are. In fact, it gives us a greater appreciation of our diversity and encourages us to live a peaceful life with eachother.

Hello All
I am a volunteer with a mosque in downtown San Jose and to confirm what others have said, we do our call for prayer inside and do not project the sound outdoors in the neighborhood.
I also would suggest that people who may have any concerns about what Muslims do or how they practice their religion, should contact their local mosque and go and visit it. Most of the mosques welcome non-Muslim guests and neighbors to observe their prayers and services (usually held on Friday afternoon - during the lunch hour). If anyone would like to visit the mosque in downtown san jose, please feel free to email me at: email@example.com.
Peace. Irfan

To those who may have said I should visit a mosque, I will say that for a time I have taken several occasions to listened to recordings of imams giving their lectures in US mosques, that were posted by these different Islamic centers here in the US on their respective websites, and severel times I have heard some of these heavily-accented men say things that have made me wonder whether the United States is undergoing a slow and hostile occupation. But if I visited a mosque in person for a couple hours, I doubt I would hear anything suspicious, since I am obviously a Westerner and any would-be radical iman would have sense enough to tone down his rhetoric while I'm passing through.
So I asked my two questions because although there have been some relatively short and isolated religious-based conflicts between some of the various groups and denoninations who comprise the western world, and who comprise our American Judeo-Christian society, as a rule they all have and still do live peacefully among each other, with mutual respect, while I do not believe it ever was the same situation among Islamic peoples anywhere at anytime. So I am concerned that the sense of brotherhood that still exists here in America will be lost. And it this sense of brotherhood from the Atlantic to the Pacific, this basic sense of trust, that makes the many great things we do possible in this land. Sure, people can scoff at that, but when you really compare the US to the rest of the world, then you will have to admit it's true.
So Moslems in America should learn how to directly reply to such questions about thier doctrinal beliefs, about non-Moslems and
such things as what to do when fellow Moslems convert to other faiths. Otherwise they will never integrate into American society.
And from what little I know it seems to me that the only way for Moslems to assimilate is to change their religion, since it appears part of their doctrine to achieve control of society and to exercise capital punishment on Moslems who convert away from Islam. Thankfully, those doctrines simply won't be accepted here in the US.

How to Beat Your Boss (And Still Let Him Win)
You can't beat your boss at golf, but you can look better losing than he does winning.
It may still be March, but spring is in full swing and the Masters Tournament is less than two weeks away. With fairways growing and greens, er… greening, golf fever is about to spread.
Unfortunately for you, that means golfing with the boss. It's an unwritten rule that in order to properly navigate the employee-boss golf match, the underling must always lose. How you go about it is up to you, but the point is: if you win, you lose. Your boss's ego is as delicate as it is inflated; tread too heavily and you could find yourself in a precarious power struggle back at the office. Solution: outsmart conventional wisdom by ignoring your par all together and parlay your smartly put-together golf attire into a winning stroke.
Golf, being a fairly traditional sport, can be tricky to dress for. But a quick look at any tour coverage tells us one thing: the pros are golfing in style. The key is to keep the cut classic while letting your style show in colors and prints. Shirts come in every color; but the trend can be staid and boring. Going for brightly colored pants or shorts (if your course allows shorts) is the right kind of risk to take. These faded red Hartford chino shorts ($194) may take confidence to pull off, but they'll project it too. And the key to wearing colors is to keep it to one piece, letting it act as an accent in an otherwise neutral or classic color pallet. A white Fred Perry Twin Tipped polo ($69) straddles the line between hip and classic, keeping the look crisp.
There's no way around the fact that most golf shoes are ugly. Even the biggest names in golf apparel offer few options for the more style-conscious golfer. But there is hope in these Travis Mathew shoes ($70). They could easily be worn on the street, but the rubber pegged sole is designed to give you traction on the course. And lastly, cap off your look with something functional: a straw fedora. Though they never really left street style, fedoras have made a resurgence for the summer, sported by the likes of Pharrell Williams (who's been dubbed the Best Dressed Man in the World). The Brixton Castor ($40) in brown is structured enough to fit the golf profile but brings a more casual feel, like a breath of fresh air on the links.

Drumwright honored by Henricus
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor 09/27/12
George T. Drumwright, Jr. may have retired from his position as deputy county manager for Henrico.
But on Sept. 14, Drumwright's friends at Henricus Historical Park let him know emphatically that he will not be allowed to retire from his role as a Henricus Foundation board member and long-time volunteer.
At a reception honoring Drumwright and celebrating the opening of 2012 Publick Days, friends, family, colleagues and fellow members of the Henricus Foundation Board of Trustees gathered to dedicate the Drumwright Education Fund, a component of the Henricus Annual Fund that will enable the Foundation to expand interactive history program offerings for students.
Drumwright's colleagues also presented him with gifts and mementos, and spoke at length about his 25 years of contributions to the park.
Henricus Executive Director Charles Lewis Grant pointed out that when Drumwright first became involved, the park was just a place "covered in vines."
Today, Henricus boasts a dozen re-created colonial structures, including a hospital, parsonage, tobacco barn and planter's house.
"But it's not just about the buildings," emphasized John Siddall, chairman of the Henricus Foundation. "It's about the 25,000 schoolchildren that come through here every year."
And the Drumwright Education Fund, added Grant, will help students from the most disadvantaged schools gain access to park programs.
"If they can't get here," said Grant, "we go to them."
Jurisdictional cooperation
Siddall, who led off his remarks by telling Drumwright, "The first thing I want to say is you are not retiring from here," also praised Drumwright's role in supporting the partnership between Chesterfield and Henrico counties that has helped made the park so successful.
Through a fluke of history, said Siddall, both counties own land in Henricus -- even though today's park lies south of the James River in what is technically Chesterfield.
During the Civil War, Union troops began digging a new channel near the James so they could bypass Confederate fortifications that blocked approaches to Richmond. The new channel, completed after the war, left a part of Henrico across the river — surrounded by water.
"Because of this, we benefit," said Siddall, "and not only because we have this beautiful bluff. We also benefit from a great partnership between Chesterfield and Henrico; we get the support of both counties."
Ken Perry, former chairman of the board, noted that Drumwright had first visited the site in 1977. "I visited this site in 1985," said Perry, "and we both saw the same things: a bunch of trees and a beautiful river view."
He and Drumwright worked together on the board for 15 years, said Perry, during which the jurisdictional cooperation was "marvelous."
'He knew every inch'
Dorothy Jaeckle, vice chairman of the board, recalled that when first elected to the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors, she was taken aback by the number of boards on which she was expected to serve, and overwhelmed by the steep learning curve required to learn about the various organizations.
Appointed to the Henricus board because the park was in her district, Jaeckle said that joining a board with Drumwright only magnified her feelings of inadequacy.
"George was the one," she said, "who took the sickle and cleared the way in [to the historical area]. He knew every last inch of this place." But her feelings of inadequacy were soon eased, said Jaeckle, because Drumwright was so clearly passionate about the park, and made it clear that he wanted only to share his knowledge of it with others.
Chesterfield County Manager Jay Stegmaier, noting that Henricus was recently named the best park in Central Virginia by readers of Richmond.com, credited Drumwright with being one of the key players that helped the park succeed.
"You've become an icon for Central Virginia," Stegmaier told Drumwright, jokingly inviting him to use a sword to carve his initials in a tree on the site. "[Henricus] is a treasure for Chesterfield and Henrico County, and it's rapidly becoming a treasure for the entire country."
"And," added Stegmaier, echoing the previous speakers, "we're not going to let you totally retire."
A radiant light
In thanking his colleagues for gifts that included colonial-era replicas of a hat and a lantern, Drumwright cited "huge support" from the community as his inspiration, and noted that like the lantern, Henricus had blossomed from a tiny spark of a concept into a radiant light.
Only days before, said Drumwright, students visiting the park from Lucille Brown Middle School had been using a newly re-created platform overlooking the bluff to calculate the trajectory of cannon fire needed to bridge the river – demonstrating just one of the unique hands-on lessons that the park provides to schoolchildren.
Upon being presented with a sword, Drumwright reminisced about his first job in Norfolk, during which he occasionally perched on the rails of a replica ship and played the role of pirate.
"We used to break these swords once a week," he said, "fighting each other."
Everything a miracle
As the celebration moved into the dinner-and-music phase – featuring favorite Drumwright band Steve Bassett and Friends – incoming Henrico County Manager John Vithoulkas read a letter from Tuckahoe Supervisor and fellow Henricus board member Pat O'Bannon, who could not be present at the celebration.
Addressing Drumwright, O'Bannon wrote, "Before Google, George, we had you to ask for answers. Now we can ask Google, but it's not nearly as good."
Thanking Drumwright for serving as a mentor, O'Bannon went on to quote Albert Einstein, who once said, "There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle, and you can live as if everything is a miracle."
"George," wrote O'Bannon,"lives his life as if everything is a miracle."
Echoing O'Bannon's sentiment, Vithoulkas recalled visiting the undeveloped, overgrown future site of Henricus decades ago, when he worked under Stegmaier as a budget analyst.
"It wasn't nearly what we've got here now," said Vithoulkas.
"George, you've done a phenomenal job."

It's no surprise when a business deal begins to take shape during a golf outing.
Perhaps less common is the business deal that percolates during a youth football practice. But such was the case for Varina District Supervisor Tyrone Nelson.
During a visit to former Varina High School football star Michael Robinson's football camp, Nelson was discussing with Robinson his excitement for the new Varina Library, whose opening last June was at that time forthcoming.

Teen Pregnancies
Did you know that May is National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month? I really think that this should be a topic of interest to parents year round, but this is a good month to be reminded of the importance of educating our children about their sexuality.
The good news is that the teenage pregnancy rate is going DOWN! The bad news is that 750,000 teens in the United States experience a pregnancy each year and 400,000 will give birth. That means that 70 young women out of every thousand become pregnant. To continue to reduce these statistics requires improved education and continued dialogue about the risk of teen pregnancy.
Although some teens think that becoming pregnant is a way to escape their own situation, the reality is that teens who become pregnant are less likely to finish high school or enter college, and are more likely to experience poverty. Being a parent is a hard job for any one, but trying to be a teen parent is almost impossible, even with good support systems. The effects of teen pregnancy are far reaching for all of society.
Studies show that teenagers who receive comprehensive sex education are 50% less likely to experience teen pregnancy compared to those who were taught abstinence only sex education. Other studies have recently shown that the decline in teen pregnancy rates are due to increased contraception use. But, 39% of sexually active teens did not use condoms when they last had sex, and only 23% of teen reported that they or their partner used hormonal birth control.
Parental involvement in sex education should occur in every home. This begins with that first, birds and bees talk with your child. A comment from a recent young patient after reading Where Did I Come From with her parents DISTURBING ! (cue my laughter).
The conversation needs to continue during the tween years and is not only about development and physiology, but about family values and teaching your child that they can talk to you about anything. Let them know that although they may feel embarrassed this SEX stuff is part of normal growing up and you are there for ANY and ALL questions.
Lastly, by the time you have teens in the house you realize that hormones are raging and with those hormonal changes come sexual feelings. This is time to reiterate values, expectations and at the same time to keep the conversation open. Knowing that over 50% of high school seniors admit to having sex, it is crucial that parents have calm and rationale discussions about the importance of safe sex. Just because you talk about safe sex does not mean that you condone it, but to ignore the subject may only mean that your child does not get the correct information or ends up being a statistic due to lack of education. No parent wants that for their child.

The Destination
Atlantic City has built on the pulse-boosting, carnivalesque atmosphere that has allowed it to continue to stake its claim as America's Playground since 1880. Sparkling in the ocean sun, the boardwalk's slew of casinos, spas, and nightclubs lets visitors know that this New Jersey playground isn't East Vegas—it's First Vegas. Not just a table-gamer's paradise, Atlantic City will put anyone with a fondness for Ferris wheels, sandy shores, and high-end live entertainment on a lucky streak.
The Digs
An Art Deco-style property with the largest guest rooms in Atlantic City, Resorts Casino Hotel, built in 1876, was the first hotel and casino in America's Favorite Playground and the first legal casino outside Nevada. Today, the nearly 1,000-room resort is split into two towers, with the 260-foot Ocean Tower housing the main gaming floor, a spa, a pool, and the main retail and dining level. The comparatively new Rendezvous Tower opened in 2004 and features 357 luxury rooms.
The Diversions
Double down on relaxation at the Health Club and Spa, where you can unwind in the sauna after a good workout, or purchase therapeutic treatments and massages to relieve that tension you've been playing close to the vest.
Later, deal yourself in for two dinner buffets at The Buffet, then hit either the Screening Room (an intimate 350-seat venue) or the Superstar Theater for some live entertainment. Odds are you're not ready to fold for the evening. Hit 25 Hours for martinis and a European vibe, or Pro-Bar—Atlantic City's one and only LGBT casino lounge. Oh, and feel free to stay out late: A provided 1 p.m. late checkout lets you cash-out on your own time.

We are bombarded by campaigns selling these attractions and offering, even indirectly, a commentary on what we have here. Many have succumbed to the message and packed their bags. Yet most New Zealanders are happy with their lot here.
As much is indicated by this week's Key Research-Herald on Sunday poll, where people were asked whether they would live in New Zealand or Australia if they had the choice. Only 12.7 per cent said they would choose Australia.
That low figure is more surprising because 40.3 per cent of those people consider the standard of living better in Australia. Nonetheless, they are not persuaded that this outweighs the many benefits of living in their own country.
Part of the reason may be increasing publicity about the downsides of life in Australia. People now realise that if they cross the Tasman they will not have access to most of Australia's welfare safety net, including dole and disability payments. Neither can they expect higher-education assistance for children they take with them.
Living does not come cheaply, either. If an international housing-affordability study released this week highlighted the plight of first-timers trying to buy in Auckland, it was notable that Sydney was even less affordable.
Only Hong Kong was worse in terms of the median income needed to buy a house.
Then, of course, there are the attractions of this country, many of which are undervalued because of their familiarity. These are confirmed by the number of migrants who continue to choose to live here. The latest figures, for November last year, show a net gain of 600 migrants - the highest seasonally adjusted gain since December 2010. Also in the same month, fewer New Zealanders left for Australia.
The grass across the Tasman is beginning to look parched. Except in the mining centres of Western Australia, jobs are harder to find.
And increasingly, a more temperate climate is not to be scorned.
More New Zealanders are coming home. They can reaffirm what those who were never tempted to leave these shores knew all along: there is no place like home.

Go to all the big vendors tables and price your gun. Keep asking is that the best you can do. Bug them and keep coming back and telling him you can get it over at the other vendor for $50 cheaper. The last day of the show about 2hrs before closing is the best time. Your only going to get it so low and when you reach that point grab it. This is for new guns only. Small vendors or private partys is a different ball game.
