Even worse is when it's put right outside the door, about 5 feet away.
Why not both? *party music*
I hate when people think it's not a real disease, because most of the time there aren't any physical symptoms, unless you're having a panic attack. Constantly trying to figure out what's gonna go wrong, and stressing little things can have a pretty big impact on your life. And don't even get me started on the people that act like you should be ashamed of having anxiety. Last time I checked we don't shame people for having physical illnesses like arthritis, so why the shame that comes with a mental illness? It's still an illness, and we have no control over having it.

Response to What Pet Would You Bring To Hogwarts?:
You got: Nothing.
You don't seem responsible enough to take care of a pet at Hogwarts. You would likely neglect it because you are too busy playing Quiddict or studying. That's okay though, plenty of kids don't bring pets to school. Well that's a little awkward, seeing as I work in a pet store and am going to college (hopefully) for animal care. :/

Response to 19 Things All Animal Lovers Can Relate To:
It's sad when people automatically think that PetSmart is cruel to their animals, because they're a big chain store. I work at one, and every time I work, I spend a minimum of two hours working with the pets. Animals that are sick are taken to the vet within 24 hours of symptoms, and we document each treatment and their progress twice a day. I know personally, I check on each individual animal, and make sure their habitat is cleaned, and that they have food and water.

I've been so busy lately. Is this still growing?
this job kinda looks like its dying a bit.
i dont think theres any way they figured it would be this slow.
They are working on the cantilever, which seems to be very complex.
thats true, but i would expect to see a couple floors by now. more than that, it seems that the podium is languishing. Fireproofing incomplete, no curtain wall etc

Your first pic tricked me. Thought the tower was much higher but then realized it was 220.
Progress is slow, but our patience will be rewarded.
Every city in the world would bend over backwards for a 1,500 foot monster like this.
Nov 1
CPT is about one floor shorter than 5 Columbus Circle, which stands at 286 feet so I guess CPT is about ~280 feet, also the northern side is taller than the South 57st side currently.
What's going on with this building? I've been busy the past couple months so I haven't been following anything as much but this seems to be stuck at the same height?
Someone else can probably step in with a more detailed explanation here but from what I've seen, they've been hung up right where the cantilever begins. It's possible this part of the tower requires some intricate engineering that can't be rushed. That's just my guess though.
This real estate broker is in an office that overlooks the cantilever of 217, and periodically posts short videos of the view.

Nothing makes a school day more thrilling for your child than a class party. Whether it's to celebrate a holiday, class accomplishment or nothing in particular, snacks are what make a classroom party such a delight for little ones. Chances are good that at least one of your child's classmates has an allergy or dietary restriction, so the best snacks are nut-free -- and cleared by your child's teacher beforehand.
Fruity Favorites
Fruit is the go-to snack for busy parents who want healthy kids. Smoothies are bound to be the hit of any class party. Make a big batch of fruit-and-yogurt smoothies at home just before the party (transport containers of the finished product in a cooler) or, with permission from the teachers, bring a variety of ingredients and a blender to the class, and lets kids choose their own smoothie fixings. Alternatively, layer fruit with low-sugar pudding and granola for parfaits that look fancier than they really are, or cut fruit slices into shapes and arrange them on skewers. For a hot-weather party, pick up ice pop molds. Following the directions, invent new flavors that combine whatever fruit you can find in season. Another idea, courtesy of the non-profit KC Healthy Kids, is a healthier alternative to ice cream: fill ice cream cones with balls or chunks of fresh fruit.
Tricked Out Veggies
Vegetables are a hard sell for most children. Dish up a salad or veggie plate, and you'll head home from the party with leftovers. Rather than handing out bowls of carrot sticks, try incorporating nutrient-packed veggies into classic kid favorites. Bake chocolate zucchini bread or mini muffins, or puree cooked carrots and spinach into tomato sauce to use for English muffin pizzas. If any students follow a gluten-free diet, talk to the teacher about acceptable alternatives for wheat-based products. Spritz washed pieces of kale with olive oil, bake them until the edges crisp and sprinkle them with a touch of sea salt for a healthy alternative to chips.
Crackers and Dips
Give a child something to dip, and he'll be a happy camper. Tortilla chips and salsa, apple wedges and fruit dip, crackers and apple butter -- if a snack affords a child the chance to get his fingers filthy, he'll embrace it. In autumn, combine cream cheese, pureed pumpkin, brown sugar and cinnamon to make a festive dip for graham crackers; around Valentine's Day, add pureed berries to vanilla yogurt to make a pink-hued fruit dip. Michigan Nutrition Standards suggests giving kids wedges of pita bread to dip into marinara sauce; not-too-spicy guacamole may also be a hit. Another option: embrace breakfast foods. Give kids strips of whole-wheat pancakes or waffles with small cups of low-sugar syrup.
Store-Bought Snacks
Picking up store-bought snacks on the way to the party is a perfectly viable option; treats don't have to have a handmade component to be healthy for kids. In fact, some schools don't allow homemade food at class parties. A container of applesauce and a piece of string cheese is a filling snack for each kiddo. Tubes of frozen yogurt, individual packets of nut-free trail mix and miniature muffins or crisped rice cereal bars may all excite hungry kids. Buy bags of flavored popcorn for kids 5 or older or flavored rice cakes for preschoolers. Whatever you choose, read the label before purchasing; look for products that aren't made in the same facilities as nuts and other allergens.

"The best grounding and registration preparation you could hope to receive."- 2016Jack Gardner, Commercial and Office Modifications
"My sister and I were enrolled in the Certificate IV Building and Construction Course (through Master Builders). Chi had actually obtained the Certificate IV course online (through another company). However, after completing all the assessments and doing the course, she concluded she hadn't learnt very much.
I had just recently joined the family business so we decided to both enroll in the Certificate IV through Master builders. The best part about the course are the trainers and learning in a group. I learnt just as much from the carpenters and plumbers in the class as the class content.
The content helped us prepare for the examination but the class discussions solidified our understanding of building which was vital for passing the interview component. One of the trainers became our mentor (Steve Zorzi) and he actually came onto one of our sites and explained how flashings work and structural aspects of construction. Steve and other classmates were instrumental in our success in the building registration process."Ping Chih, Project Manager - C&C Developments

Beets are one of my favorite root vegetables. Give me a beet over a potato any day. They are super healthy for your body and do magical things in the digestive process (they stain EVERYTHING red). Canned beets are an atoricty in my mouth, but fresh beets make my mouth happy. This recipe is one of the simplest ways to cook up beets, and has a nice mild, tangy flavor. Roasting the beets brings out their sweet notes making for a nice contract to the acidity of the balsamic.
3 beets, peeled, sliced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2. Lay beets in a single layer on a lightly greased jelly roll pan. Season lightly with salt. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the top.
3. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes until beets are tender. Cooking time will depend on how thick they are cut.
Beets can be both fun and intimidating to work with because they stain everything red. Some people roast their beets whole to avoid the staining dilemma. I just go for it. First I cut off the ends. This gives the beet some stability so it isn't rolling around staining everything. I use the flat surface to steady the beet while I use a peeler to remove the peel. The hand stains are easily washed off with soap and water.
Fresh beets are super easy to peel and cut. If you find the peel or flesh tough to work with it is most likely because you are using an old beet.

Europe because of all the 'free' programs FDR created - welfare, ss, etc.
sort by best latest
In the 1930s Japan recovered quickly from the depression. They implemented a great recovery plan and it worked. Many countries are still using those financial measures with a good deal of success. The depression lasted longer in the US. Please read my Hub on Government spending and taxes during recession. It addresses the effects of entitlement programs, taxes and spending during a recession,
No it isn't true. Germany is doing about as good as anyone else and much better that us. They have strong unions and the government didn't allow all the outsourcing that we see in the USA. Germany also didn't spend anywhere near the money, comparatively, as we did on corporate welfare. Too big to fail is BS. Too big to fail should mean too big to exist. Germany has mandatory paid vacation, minium wage, and other programs that support the working class. WE should have bailed out the working class and broken up AIG and the too big too fail group. No way that we can get out of this without a strong working class.
Heck yeah its true. Some U.S. aid programs hurt more than help. Because some people are cool with living on government aid. No disire to work just waiting for a hand out. And that attude is bad as a hold for our nation.
Not all people mind you are just sitting around waiting for a hand out. Some people just need a little help and that's cool. I'm not talking about those people.

God's Demon
Best known for extraordinarily imaginative fantasy art, Barlowe (Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials ) now sets his talents to writing equally compelling speculative fiction. Inspired by Paradise Lost , Barlowe conjures up the creatures who sided with Lucifer and were ejected from heaven, thrown down into Hell to become freakishly mangled demons. After innumerable eons of exile, the demon Sargatanas has started to dream of being reunited with God. Sargatanas amasses an army to aid him in overthrowing Lucifer's regent, Beelzebub, in an attempt to catch God's eye. In a flash of inspiration, Sargatanas adds human souls to his army, under the direction of Hannibal. Together, human sinners and once-rebellious demons unite to vanquish Beelzebub in an all-out war. Barlowe's interpretation is not for the squeamish, with its horrifically explicit descriptions of demonic behavior, but it's a compelling view of Hell and of a demon who seeks redemption. (Oct.)

As Professor Emeritus in the Indigenous Studies Faculty, and as part of the Trent Traditional Council, she is called upon to lecture, and participate in workshops, conferences and symposiums within the undergraduate and graduate programs. She is also known as a drum carrier and the keeper of the Little Boy Water Drum. Over the 25 years that Edna has committed to Trent University, numerous Trent students travelled across Canada to participate in Edna's Medicine Camps committing themselves to learn about the traditional roles of plants and medicines under Edna's guidance. Edna's Medicine Camps are anther place of learning where Edna takes the university back to the land reconnecting learning and teaching to our mother.
Edna's commitment to Indigenous education leadership helped shape Indigenous Studies at Trent, formed the University of Sudbury at Laurentian University and provided cultural direction for the Centre for Indigenous Theatre. More recently, in 2005, Edna's longstanding commitment to building Indigenous performing arts and the local communities was fully realized in the creation Nozhem First Peoples Performance Space. Edna says, "NOZHEM is the Ojibway word which denotes the female bear. We've chosen this animal to represent our space because she embodies the characteristics of transformation, balance and knowledge, which are essential
components of the Indigenous way of knowing. In theatre there is transformation, which takes place as actors take on specific roles, but there is another transformation, which occurs within the individual actor as they find their own healing through their personal creative expression. There is also healing for the audience as they empathize greater awareness of the human condition and the situations of others in society." Today, Nozhem is recognized internationally as an Indigenous performance space with a solid a reputation in Indigenous theatre and dance performance productions.
In 1970 Edna contributed to a CBC interview that for one of the first times in Canada shared publically the impact of the residential school system on the loss of Indigenous languages across Canada. Along with Delia Opekekew, Edna exposed never before heard truths about the Indian residential school system starting what would become a national conversation about the deep and multi-generational impacts of the residential school system on Indigenous Peoples today. As an educator, lecturer, medicine keeper and ceremonialist, Edna continues this work today, carrying and sharing Indigenous knowledge.

Gchi-twaa Nibi: Sacred Water Circle
United Walkers
Nibi Emosaawdamojig (Those that Walk for Water)
World Water Day was introduced in 1992 by the United Nations. For Indigenous people such as First Nations and especially Anishinaabe-kweg, (women,) water has always been sacred to us and has always been part of many of native our ceremonies.
In spring 2009, a group of women began walking around the Kawartha Lakes area, near Peterborough, Ontario, Canada to raise public awareness that local waters have become sick and that we should help in any way we can to clean them up, because water is sacred and without water, we cannot live. Four walks were planned and done and after on the 4th walk, the women walkers decided that we should do seven spring walks to make it for the seven generations.
This presentation will include a power point, which talks about the water walks that the First Nations women have done and to tell the state of the water pollution in the area and what we can do. Shirley Williams: will talk about Anishinaabe-kweg some water teachings, the water walks that they have done and who inspired them. We bring awareness to the people and communities so that we can become better water stewards for life. The Creator has given us many things and we must take care of it.
Josephine Mandamin:In the spring of 2012, Josephine Mandamin, an Anishinabe elder originally from the Wikwemikong Unceded Reservation on Manitoulin Island in northern Ontario, will receive her bachelor of arts from Sault Ste. Marie's Algoma University. But when it comes to water conservation and the role that aboriginal women can play in those efforts, she's long been the one doing the teaching. Since 2003, Mandamin has led the annual Women's Water Walk, which began with the circumnavigation of Lake Superior. Walks around Lakes Michigan, Huron, Ontario, and Erie have followed in the years since.

She received a SSHRC CGS scholarship for her work, which focuses on re-energizing existing nêhiyaw knowledge paradigms into contemporary frameworks to address issues such as Indigenous gender violence. Since moving to the territories of the Mississauga, she has had the opportunity to work with and learn from Anishinaabe Elders Edna Manitowabi, Shirley Williams, and Doug Williams as well as Knowledge Keepers Liz Osawamick, Georgina Cowie-Rogers, and Paul Bourgeois. She has walked for the Water in Ceremony under the guidance of Anishinaabekwewag Water Walkers Josephine Mandamin, Shirley Williams, and Liz Osawamick for the past 5 years and will walk again this year in the 2017 Earth and For the Waters Walk: From West to East.

Liz Osawamick:
Elizabeth (Liz) Osawamik has been instrumental in community engagement work for the Peterborough area. She is a fluent speaker of the Nishnaabemowin Language, knows the writing system and has been mentored by those Elders and community people who are her ancestors in this field of study and revitalization. Liz works tirelessly to assure the continuation and health of the language, she is Midewiwin and continues to progress in that study and practice as well. Her family, which consist of children, grandchildren and adoptive children, include one of her own who is deaf and two of her adoptive children who are also deaf. Her own, Miigwaas, has become a very talented teacher and leader although he is very young and still in highschool, and the two very young children who she cares for are more and more becoming comfortable and more relaxed in the community and accustomed to participating in the many activities to which Liz exposes them to a variety of community activities on a regular basis. This is one of the Creator's tasks given to those who are capable of it, to raise a child other than their own. Her work which includes teaching the language, the culture and supporting the Elders and their initiatives, in a variety of venues, including the public school board, the university and college, now includes being the President of Anishnaabemowen Teq Inc, the main language sustainer in the province and broader language geography which is associated with Nishnaabemowin. Liz has also led the annual Water Walk for the past 7 years and for the coming years which Water Walks take place under the guidance of Elders Shirley Williams and Josephine Mandamin both of whom have been her teachers as she walks and who now leads all the others.This gives little idea of the breadth and depth of the contributions which Liz has and continues to make to the Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities in this area as well as in Ontario and beyond.Her stature as a loving, caring and talented woman is exceeded only by her generosity of spirit and her mind.

The four pieces will incorporate art and storytelling centered on nibi and culture. Indigenous youth, under 30, will be invited to create and share a little piece of how they envision and center water within their own world perspective. Each of the four canvases will only be guided by particular colours, the rest is open to youth creating on their own. My role is to engage youth to add to the pieces.
It will be an all-day event and the pieces will be presented to FPHL as a gift at the end of the Elder's Gathering. I would like to show this piece at the art show at the end of March, which is a part of my Master's work. It will be returned when it's done.
Skahendowaneh Swamp
Session: Earth Sounds Haudenosaunee Social Dancing
Session 1
Time: 9:00am- 10:30am
Location: GCS 105
Originally from Akwesasne, Mr. Swamp is highly respected for his knowledge of Aboriginal languages and cultural traditions and has spent many years teaching in various communities in Ontario and Quebec.Prior to coming to Trent, he taught soapstone carving and painting through the Akwesasne Child and Family Services where he worked as a traditional support worker. At Trent he also gave lectures on aspects of culture, dancing, stories, and traditional teachings. Before that, he lived on Six Nations Reserve near Brantford, Ontario for four years with his wife, who is an Oneida from this community. At Six Nations he taught the Mohawk language, music and art in Native studios at the Kawenní:io/Gawení:yo High School, which he described as a challenge because there were no textbooks, requiring him to be creative and develop new teaching skills which he continues to use at Trent. In addition to his fluency in Mohawk, Mr. Swamp also understands Oneida, Cayuga and Onondaga, and can read Seneca.

UPDATE: We have a slight change to the line-up to announce, we can now confirm that the legendary MICHAEL POWERS will also be performing!
UPDATE: We have just reached our minimum goal of $1000!!! A HUGE thank you to all of our funders!!!! Everything past this point will mean that the show can look even better, so our NEW GOAL is $2000! Let's see how good we can get this show looking! Thanks again!
UPDATE: The legendary GARY U.S. BONDS has been in touch and is interested in doing the show!
UPDATE: Michael Hill's Blues Mob has contacted us whilst touring in Europe to say that they too are interested in doing the show!
UPDATE: "Kickstarter" video is now online! Tell your friends!
"Raw Blues" is a new video web-series dedicated to showcasing the many great blues artists from "The Blues Hall of Fame". These are the unsung heroes of the Blues, who travel from town to town, every night to perform in local blues bars everywhere!
We will capture the raw energy and emotion of their performances in our studio as they perform a few of their best original tracks in their entirety and share their story with us through a sit down interview.
The plan is to create an ongoing series that continues making new episodes and introduces you to more and more amazing blues artists every week. So, to start off, as our pilot series, we are producing 6 episodes, all running roughly 22 minutes in length, with each episode bringing you a different artist.
We have set the target at a modest $1000, which will be used to cover the very basic costs for producing this series. If we don't make the target, we don't keep a penny... if we go over the target, then the extra money will all go into the production value as additional camera, lighting, etc. The higher we get, the better it looks!
For our pilot season, we will be showcasing these great Blues musicians:
Robert Ross
Robert Ross is a two-time winner of the coveted New York Music Award for Best Blues Artist. Ross won his first New York Music Award for Best Blues Artist in 1989 and has been nominated a total of 7 times over the years!

Albert King added, "He's so fast, lightning would have to get on roller skates to catch him." He also plays a very wicked slide guitar and some harmonica. Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page used one word to describe this group, "HOT!!!"

Bob learned at the feet of Nashville Legend Dave Perkins. A four year period from 1979 thru 1983. This time was the start of a musical journey that continues to this day. Playing the bar scene with various bands passed the time nicely. Then In 1997 Bob met Floyd Phillips while playing in " The Bluzemonsters". Floyd Phillips and The Mudflaps were born. What followed in the next 3 years was an education in life and music, taught by a legend. Floyd had been Johnny Clyde Copelands' piano player and childhood friend.

"Filthy" Rich Macpherson
Rich has played on stages from Maine to Florida, including The House of Blues in Boston, The Stanhope House in New Jersey and Manny's Car Wash and Chicago B.L.U.E.S. in New York City. He's shared the stage with blues greats including; Homesick James, William Clarke, Snooky Pryor, Little Sammy Davis, Jimmie Lee Robinson, Pinetop Perkins, Bobbie Blue Bland, Jimmy Dawkins, Honeyboy Edwards, James Cotton and Big Jack Johnson. He and the Poor Boys are featured on a live recording by Homesick James.
"What am I doing playing music popular 40 years ago?" asks MacPherson. "I think it just feels comfortable to me and it's the sound I like. It's still a form you can put yourself into and express yourself. I like the stories it tells. It's still relevant to me and to everybody." That may be true, but it's Rich's style and talent that keeps audiences coming back to hear Filthy Rich and the Poor Boys. Rather than pounding away at listeners, as many of today's musicians tend to do, Rich understands that good musicianship and restraint are essential. "If it gets too loud, it can kill the creativity," he says.
Rich is at home entertaining audiences of all ages and frequently leaves the stage to get up close and personal. Whether delighting a group of young women with his titillating guitar antics, or encouraging a group of small children to strum his guitar during a song, Rich adapts his performance to be in tune with his audience.
Off stage Rich MacPherson is a quiet man of few words, but put a guitar in his hands, and strap yourself in. If you've never heard him play, you're in for a treat. "Hey, "nuf said," says Filthy Rich. "Give us a listen. We know you'll be satisfied."
Thank you for taking the time to check out our Kickstarter project and for keeping the Blues alive!
Risks and challenges
With all video projects there are ups and downs, scheduling conflicts, etc. But that's why the project is has been organized so early. This enables us to make sure that everyone involved has enough advance notice to ensure that they are available... and everyone's excited too!
Unfortunately, hurricane/sub-tropical storm/super storm "Sandy" has caused a little disruption, but the show will go on.
There is always the remote possibility that the lineup may change, but as of now, everyone has expressed a lot of interest and excitement about the project! So it looks pretty good that the lineup will be as above.
There are always many things that can go wrong with a video production and that's where our 10 years of experience comes into play, we've minimized any chances of problems happening by keeping it simple. By doing this, we've ensured that there WILL be a show at the end of it!

Larkin And Senate Pass Comprehensive Energy Plan
Senator Bill Larkin (R-C, Cornwall-on-Hudson) today announced the Senate has passed a comprehensive energy plan that would provide $350 million in relief from high energy costs to small businesses. The Senate also passed legislation that would provide heating assistance to more senior citizens, cap the state tax on gasoline and encourage energy conservation and alternative energy sources to lessen our dependency on foreign oil.
"Most of the new jobs in New York State are being created by small businesses," said Senator Larkin. "Businesses with fewer than 20 employees employ about 1.4 million New Yorkers. Like millions of New York homeowners, small businesses have cited high energy costs as a significant problem that is hurting their bottom lines.
The Senate's plan is designed to specifically help the small business owner pay the bills and stay competitive.
"The legislation also calls for much-needed aid to senior citizens struggling to afford heating fuel, but do not qualify for HEAP assistance. Over 640,000 seniors would be eligible for assistance."
A $350 million refundable tax credit would help 386,000 eligible small businesses across New York State afford the rising cost of energy.
Under the plan, a credit of two cents per Kilowatt Hour (KwH) would be applied directly to eligible businesses' tax liability, while businesses that do not owe taxes would receive a rebate check. The benefit level of two-cents per kilowatt hour approximates the rate benefit provided under the Power for Jobs program, which has proven to be one of the state's most important economic development programs.
The Senate plan will also eliminate the Petroleum Business Tax on non-residential heating fuel, further reducing energy expenses for small businesses by up to $7 million a year.
The Senate's "Senior Heat" program would provide $200 rebate checks to eligible senior citizen homeowners to help offset the cost of home heating.
Seniors approved for the enhanced STAR school property tax rebate program (at least 65 years old with an annual income of less than $64,650) would be eligible for the Senior Heat program. The plan would also provide a $100 refundable State tax credit to eligible senior citizens who rent and pay for their heat. The program would provide an estimated $140 million in assistance to more than 640,000 senior homeowners and renters.
The Senate also acted today on a bill to cap the state and local sales tax on gasoline at a taxable value of $2 per gallon. The cap covers the local sales tax on gas unless a local government votes to opt out of the cap. If all localities participate, the plan would generate another $120 million in savings.
The Senate today also passed legislation (S.5846A) that would provide manufacturers of qualified bio-fuel products, primarily ethanol and bio-diesel, with a refundable tax credit. The credit would be 15 cents a gallon, capped at $2.5 million per plant, per year, for up to four years.
The Federal Government and industry experts estimate that drivers in New York State would see a minimum savings of eight cents a gallon at the pump if New York State could provide a substantial amount of the ethanol to gas supplies. It is estimated that the credit will save New York State taxpayers $600,000 in SFY 2006-07 and $10 million a year by SFY 2010-11. As more New York State produced bio-fuels are added to the mix of gasoline at the pump, consumers will see a further easing of gas prices.
The Senate also passed a bill (S.5763B) that would extend through the end of 2006, the recently expired alternative fueled vehicle tax credit. The credit would apply to actual alternative fuels such as methanol, ethanol and fully electric vehicles. The bill also reestablishes a State sales tax exemption for the purchase of refueling property equipment. The bill is estimated to provide $3 million a year in credits through SFY 2007-08.
The Senate also acted today on legislation (S.5966A) to extend for four years, a law that allows localities and school districts to provide a full or partial exemption for real property taxes on land that contains alternative energy generation systems such as wind and solar power and farm waste to energy systems. Due to the fact that the Assembly has not passed similar legislation, this exemption expired on January 1, 2006. Therefore, this bill would be retroactive to the beginning of the current year.
The Senate also passed S.5970A to eliminate the state sales tax on insulating materials such as high efficiency windows, doors, weather-stripping, pipe sheathing and alternative energy systems in or attached to a building such as wind power or fuel cells. In addition, the bill would provide four sales tax free weeks (one per season) on a variety of energy star products, such as washers, dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, furnaces and hot water heaters. These measures are estimated to save New York State taxpayers $40 million a year.
The Senate also passed a bill (S.785A) that would provide a tax credit for businesses that install alternative energy equipment such as wind, solar or fuel cells. This bill would save New York State businesses $15 million a year beginning in SFY 2006-07.

Thread: Westland boat covers?
Threaded View
Ugh - you may have just answered a question for me Drew. I stumbled across a Westland cover in my neck of the woods today that I can get dirt cheap. However I believe it's for a D-Drive, not sure it will fit my V. Hopefully the guy will let me open up the box and give it a go though.
Hey Brian - have you towed much/at all with that Westland cover on?The years have been kind, it's the weekends that have done the damage.

The Idaho legislature whacked state park funding by 80 percent at the height of the recession, leaving the Department of Parks and Recreation with little choice but to think outside the box.
Parks officials decided to replace the old $40 season pass with a $10 "parks passport" good for admission to all 30 state parks. Under the new system, they automatically introduced the passport option to Idaho's 2.5 million vehicle owners as they renewed their license plates each year. The gamble paid off: Last year, 95,800 people opted to buy the $10 passports, compared with 15,000 who used to purchase the $40 season pass each year. So far, the new passports have generated more than $1 million.
"We're able to reach more people," Jennifer Okerlund, communications manager for the parks department, said of the Department of Motor Vehicles opt-in. "Selling it for the discounted amount is very attractive to Idahoans, and they're taking advantage of it."
With the 2014 summer vacation season open, state parks have had to get creative about ways to raise money because budget officers are being chintzier with tax revenue. State general revenue for parks has plunged from a nationwide average of 59 percent of park funding in fiscal 1990 to 33 percent in fiscal 2012.
Park officials have scrambled to make up the difference, often by raising fees, such as the $1 to $2 increase in campsite fees in Nebraska this year or the $5 to $10 increase for renting state-owned cabins in Alaska. Virginia imposed a nonrefundable $5 transaction fee on credit card charges and park reservations this year, and the Department of Conservation and Recreation was almost apologetic about it: "The increase results from a downturn in state revenues used to fund state government programs, including state parks. DCR staff considered many options and felt this to be the least burdensome on guests."
State parks are growing more reliant on these park-generated fees, which brought in 42 percent of state park funds in fiscal 2012 compared with 37 percent in 2008.
Another source of park funding is the use of passports such as the one in Idaho. Okerlund said Idaho's passport was modeled on Michigan's "recreation passport."
Adopted in 2010, Michigan's annual pass also uses the state's vehicle registration renewal as a launch pad. The registration system won't let users continue through the process until they choose whether or not to pay the $11 fee for the passport, which provides access to 102 state parks and 75 boat launches for a year.
Ron Olson, chief of parks and recreation in Michigan, said the "break even" point to match revenues from the old season pass was 17 percent participation of the 7.5 million vehicle owners. The first year, 24.7 percent opted for the passport; participation in 2012 hit 27.3 percent.
"Our goal this year is to finish at 28 percent," Olson said, noting there are millions more drivers to reach with the appeal.
"It's an opportunity to grow," said Olson, who noted the goal this year is 28 percent. "It has an upside to it, like a business. We'd like to achieve 50 percent."
Margaret A. Walls, research director and senior fellow at Resources for the Future, which studies environmental economics, said the passports appeal to both outdoors-loving residents and government agencies.
"From the buyer's perspective, purchasing a pass during the registration process may have lower transaction costs than buying at a state park or going online to the state park system website," she wrote in a report analyzing state park financing in 2013.
"Likewise, the administrative costs to the government associated with collecting the fees may be lower," she said, adding that the most important aspect is that state park systems reach more people through vehicle registration.
Montana was the first state to raise money for its state parks in this fashion. Since 2004, when residents renew their vehicle registration, they are automatically charged a $6 state parks fee, which, the state reminds them, "costs less than one movie ticket or a couple of fancy cups of coffee."
Drivers can opt out, but Montana makes it difficult. Residents have to go to the county treasurer's office and sign a waiver that says they will not use that vehicle to visit any park. With this "opt-out' system, 80 percent of Montana residents agreed to pay a few extra bucks to support state parks.
Kansas and Washington state also have passport programs tied to vehicle registration. Kansas charges $15.50 during vehicle registration, which is $9.50 less than if you buy a pass at a park or a government office.
Washington sells its Discover Pass for $30, and also lets the vehicle owner make a donation to several causes that include state parks and organ donation. Similarly, Texas added a line to its vehicle registration form asking people to donate $5 (or more) for upkeep of state parks; the state comptroller projects $1.6 million in revenue a year from the small donations.
Enthusiasm for state parks is high — 725 million visits were counted in 2013, according to the National Association of State Park Directors. The association argues state parks are an enormous value, costing $2.3 billion to operate while injecting more than $20 billion into local economies.
