A proposed precinct plan that would mean new polling places for about 13,000 Richmond County voters raised some concerns Tuesday about the number of elderly and minority voters affected by the proposal.
Augusta Commissioner Bill Fennoy said he hoped the Board of Elections would consider the high percentage of minority voters that will have new polling places under the proposal. Before the board gives its final approval, Fennoy said he'd like to see revisions.
"We need to look at this plan and see if we can come up with something different where so many African-Americans aren't affected by the change," he said at a public hearing at the Augusta-Richmond County Public Library.
Fennoy has said that about 9,000 of the voters being relocated to new polling places are black. For the first time in decades, the changes won't be required to have preclearance by the U.S. Department of Justice, after the Supreme Court overruled part of the Voting Rights Act in June. About 10 people attended the meeting Tuesday.
The proposed plan was developed to accommodate voters as more choose to vote before Election Day, said Board of Elections Executive Director Lynn Bailey. In the 2012 presidential election, 31,118 voters cast ballots early. The changes include adding an advance voting site at Diamond Lakes Regional Park, for a total of four locations countywide, and consolidating the 50 Election Day sites down to 44.
In response to Fennoy's complaint, Board of Election secretary L.C. Myles, an appointee of the local Democratic Party, said the changes affect a high number of minorities because Richmond County has a "minority majority." Minorities were also significantly affected by the 2011 redistricting.
Some concerned about elderly voters affected by the proposed closing of polls at St. John's Towers and Peabody Apartments, including Augusta NAACP President Charles Smith, said the community would have to help transport elderly and disabled voters to polls.
Bailey said because the Augusta Housing Authority operates Peabody Apartments, transportation could be available.
Despite the Justice Department changes, elections officials said they are maintaining a transparent process. The precinct plan is available on the Board of Elections Web site and public comment is welcome for three more weeks.
The board anticipates voting on the plan, which would effect 2014 elections, in late November or early December, Bailey said.

We're Stuck With 'Shrek'
New York
You're not going to be able to wiggle out of taking your children to see "Shrek the Musical," so let me start with some good news: The sets and costumes are dynamite. They ought to be. This production is said to have cost $25 million, and looks it. Tim Hatley, the designer, has somehow contrived to create a real-life counterpart to the high-tech storybook look of the 2001 animated feature on which "Shrek" is based. Not only do the characters bear an uncanny resemblance to their digitally animated counterparts, but the show flies from scene to scene at near-cinematic velocity. The whole thing is downright uncanny, and enormous fun to behold.
The other glad tiding is that Sutton Foster, who plays Fiona, the sweet and lovely princess who falls in love with a stinky, grumpy ogre (Brian d'Arcy James), is her usual adorable self. Sweetness can be exasperating on stage, but Ms. Foster, Broadway's biggest charmer, is so full of spunk that even the most vinegary of grouches will find her hard to resist. I didn't even try, though I'd rather have seen Ms. Foster in . . . oh, "Peter Pan." Or a revival of "The Drowsy Chaperone." I'd have even settled for "The Sound of Music."
Which brings us to the heart of the matter: "Shrek" is for kids, and no one else. If yours liked the movie, they'll like the musical, which has been cunningly calculated to rope in the present-day pre-teen crowd. The book and lyrics, by David Lindsay-Abaire, mirror the film's jeering humor with perfect precision: Take your fluffy fun/And shove it where the sun don't shine! Most of the jokes are of the insult-and-bodily-function genre ("Shrek" is powered less by electricity than by natural gas). Nor are we spared the starchy pro-tolerance agitprop that long ago became compulsory in cartoons: "Freak Flag," "Shrek"'s big production number, is a tribute to Being Different that rams home its politically correct point with monomaniacal relentlessness. As for Jeanine Tesori's blander-than-bland score, it's baby-food rock, the kind of offensively inoffensive pseudo-music that sounds as though it'd been squeezed out of an empty toothpaste tube.
"Shrek the Musical" is an iPod show: I liked looking at it, but longed desperately to be listening to something else on my earbuds. On the other hand, it wasn't made for me, or anyone over the age of 12, and I'm sure that the members of its target market will go for it in a great big way. In short, you're stuck with "Shrek," and so, I fear, is Broadway.

The best way to appreciate the Roundabout Theatre Company's production of "Pal Joey" -- the only way, really -- is to approach it not as a revival but as a brand-new show that just happens to have the same score as its predecessor of the same name. Do that and you'll find it somewhat easier to savor the performances of Stockard Channing, Martha Plimpton and Jenny Fellner. If, on the other hand, you know "Pal Joey" more than casually and love it for its own sour-souled, hard-boiled sake, you're going to have a tough time sitting through this slicked-up rewrite of one of the best musicals of the 20th century.
Broadway Theatre, 1681 Broadway, New York
Roundabout Theatre Company, Studio 54, 254 W. 54th St., New York
closes Feb. 15
Hartford Stage, 50 Church St., Hartford, Conn.
($25-$66, $10 off for children 12 and under),
closes Dec. 28
The title character of "Pal Joey" is a small-time Chicago hoofer (Matthew Risch) who sleeps with an older socialite (Ms. Channing) so that she'll set him up as a nightclub manager. The glittering score, by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, contained such standards-to-be as "I Could Write a Book" and "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered," but the book, adapted by John O'Hara from his own short stories, was so unblinkingly cynical that it shocked 1940 audiences. It wasn't until "Pal Joey" was revived on Broadway 12 years later that the show came to be generally acknowledged as a musical-comedy classic; even now it remains something of a hard sell.
The Roundabout, as best as I can figure, has decided to sell "Pal Joey" by selling it out. In this production, directed by Joe Mantello and choreographed by Graciela Daniele, the show is retrofitted as a glossy school-of-Fosse extravaganza. The fancy sets and showy steps, while pleasing enough in their own right, have little to do with the seedy, sordid world that O'Hara conjured out of thin air in his very first stage direction: "A cheap night club, on the South Side of Chicago. Not cheap in the whorehouse way, but strictly a neighborhood joint." Richard Greenberg, one of my least favorite contemporary playwrights, has rewritten O'Hara's book from curtain to curtain, replacing his sharp-eared dialogue with lame, campy punch lines and smoothing out the rough edges of the plot in a way that is alien to the flint-hearted spirit of the real "Pal Joey."
Mr. Risch, who took over the starring role in rehearsal after Christian Hoff broke an ankle, is a good singer and a superior dancer, but he lacks the charm that would make it possible for us to see why Joey Evans is so appealing to the three women who pursue him. (Think Gene Kelly, who created the role on Broadway.) As for the women, Ms. Channing sings pretty well, Ms. Plimpton unexpectedly well -- she turns out to have quite a nifty set of pipes -- and Ms. Fellner wonderfully well. They all act up a storm, especially Ms. Channing, who is the sexiest 64-year-old I've ever seen on a stage. I had no trouble buying her as Vera, the society dame with a roving eye who falls hard for Joey. Ms. Plimpton is, of course, a known quantity, one of the best actresses in the business, but it's Ms. Fellner who steals the show as Linda English, a good egg who makes the fatal mistake of assuming that Joey is something more than a worn-down heel. We'll be seeing plenty more of her.

Michael Wilson, who directed the Broadway transfer of "Dividing the Estate," is better known as the artistic director of Hartford Stage, which is currently performing his adaptation of "A Christmas Carol." I rarely go out of my way to see seasonal fare, which runs to the dutiful, but I've been so impressed by Mr. Wilson's previous work that I decided to make an exception. I'm glad I did: "A Christmas Carol" is outstandingly well-performed and fabulously well-crafted, a merry medley of trap doors, flying ghosts and thunderous sound effects that tickles the senses without insulting the intelligence. Not since "Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol" have I seen a more satisfying dramatization of Charles Dickens's timeless tale. Mr. Wilson's version of "A Christmas Carol" can also be seen at Houston's Alley Theatre and the Lansburgh Theatre in Washington, and it belongs on Broadway as well. Maybe next year?

The Kia Ray electric vehicle – the first one ever to come from Korea – was introduced recently. This is only available for the market in Korea. This car can be driven as far as 139 km (86 miles). Its production line is the same as its combustion-engined model (which it is based on) – the first EV in the world to do so. There are a few exterior elements that differeniate the electric version from the petrol one.
These include a flap in the front grille, which hides the charge inlet for the slow recharge mode. Instead of the fuel filler cap, there's a cover for the fast recharge mode. Furthermore, there's a new aerodynamic design for the set of 14-inch alloy rims and 'Zero Emissions EV' decals on the front doors. Kia has set a goal to make 2,500 units of the Ray EV in 2012. These can be offered to government departments and public offices under Kia's eco R&D program.
Kia Ray EV bears a striking look with four distinguishing points: 1) a 220V electricity inlet for slow recharge mode located on the front radiator grille; 2) an inlet for fast recharge mode found in the same location as the intake for regular gasoline-fueled models; 3) smooth 14-inch alloy wheels that help improve aerodynamics by reducing drag; and 4) special decals placed on the front doors, indicating that it's a "Zero Emissions Electronic Vehicle."
Inside the Kia Ray EV is a unique instrument cluster that displays the electric motor operation, the status of the battery, and the distance to recharge. Moreover, the car features the very first EV-specific navigation system with a 7-inch screen, where you can see useful information like the locations of the nearest recharging stations and the radius of the distance it can go with its remaining battery power.
There are currently 500 slow and fast recharging stations in South Korea, with the government planning to add more and increasing that number to 3,100 stations before 2012 ends.
Meanwhile, the Kia Ray EV also reflects many innovations. For one, its electric motor delivers an efficiency of 93%, the best in its class. There's also the car's lithium ion polymer battery cell, which is highly integrated and optimized, and has helped reduce the battery's weight by 13% and increase its energy density by 15% compared to that of its competitors'. Moreover, the car's onboard charger, high-low voltage converter, current inverter, and EV-specific vehicle control unit separately feature advances over the previous equipment used.
Additionally, the car has also been fitted with a new kind of regenerative braking system that features an active hydraulic booster. This hydraulic booster utilizes the car's electric motor to create brake system's hydraulic pressure. This, in turn, results to a consistent force for the brake pedal throughout various driving conditions as well as an ability to harvest energy then use it to recharge the battery of the car.
"During 2012, Kia is planning to manufacture 2,500 units of the Ray EV, which will be provided to government departments and public offices as part of Kia's long-term real-world research and development program to provide environmentally friendly transport to Kia customers around the world during the next decade." said the press release.

OMG, once again, thanks very much to the lovely Mary Herrington of Forever & Ever Events for inviting me to go along with her on one of her many fabulous appointments. This weekend's trip was to the Peter Langner Trunk Show held by Browns Bride featuring Peter Langner's most recent collections and the opportunity to meet the designer himself! Peter, who is based in Rome, flew in for the weekend with his gorgeous dresses, and was available all day to discuss his inspiration for each piece. We were both thrilled to find out that many of the dresses were designed around famous architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, for example. Each dress definitely had its own personality and we both found ourselves seduced by some beautiful detailing, especially in the way the dresses were finished in the back. Another great thing about Peter's work is that he custom makes veils for each of his dresses so that they all have a matching piece with trim / lace or ribbon to complete the overall look.
Peter was extremely friendly and it was a fab and rare opportunity to meet the designer. We not only had a lovely time chatting, sipping champagne and looking around the beautiful Browns Bride shop, but I also got to try on a few pieces myself! As a bride who has tried on her fair share of dresses now, I have to say it felt like Peter really understood a woman's body. Even though many of his dresses have billowly back detailing, the fit in the front still showed my shape, before extending outwards into the dramatic train. Make sure to have a look at the Peter's website, the photos below and don't miss the videos of Peter's 2010 shows in Milan. Thanks so much to Caroline at Browns and also to Peter for taking the time to spend with us, we had such a great time! Browns hosts wuite a few trunk shows, show check out their events section to see their schedule for the autumn.

Common question my phone sellers keep getting asked is "are you owned by TG, will you sell out to them soon?" Seems if we answer both no, we are about guaranteed the sale. Haven't ran this week's reports but I'm fairly sure we grabbed over 100 new ones.

selling hasn't been the problem it has been servicing them...snow melted March 16 and it has rained 14 days since then. Now 80 degrees and only half way through rd 1...weeds everywhere customers are unhappy...mine and others...hopefully I can hang on to mine and keep selling the others and service them in reasonable time. One of the more difficult springs we have been through!
Those numbers are depressing me too! good work! I keep telling myself I'm going to come up there and check everything out...maybe after Derby

INDEPENDENCE — Mo Williams thought he was ready for the playoffs.
Now that he's had time to think again, the Cavaliers point guard realizes he can only be better for having gone through what he did last season.
"I know what to expect now," Williams said following a recent practice at Cleveland Clinic Courts. "I know the game will slow down for me. It's different than the regular season. In the regular season, the game seems like it's in slow motion, I've played so many games.
"The playoffs is a different speed. It's just another level. I've experienced that now. I know how to react to it. I can react quicker. In this game, if you think one or two times on the floor, you're kind of doomed. This is a read-and-react game."
Williams wasn't terrible in the playoffs, but he did not read and react at the All-Star level the Cavaliers had grown accustomed to in the regular season.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound point guard, whose previous playoff experience consisted of five games off the bench for Milwaukee in 2006, averaged 16.3 points and 4.1 assists in Cleveland's 14 postseason games.
It was his shooting, particularly in an Eastern Conference finals loss to Orlando, that was not up to par. Williams hit just .408 from the field and .767 at the line in the postseason, down from .467 and .912, respectively, in the regular season.
In Game 1 against Orlando, he was 6-of-19 from the field, including 2-of-8 from beyond the arc.
In Game 2 of that series, he was 7-of-21 overall and 1-of-6 on 3-pointers.
In Game 3, he was 5-of-16, with 10 of those attempts - but just three makes - coming from long range.
In Game 4, he was 5-of-15 overall and missed all three of his 3-point attempts.
"It's obvious he can shoot the ball better than he did in that series," Cleveland coach Mike Brown said.
Williams' performance was slightly better in the last two games, but by then the Cavaliers were down 3-1 in the best-of-seven series and the damage had been done.
And even though Williams' shooting improved in the final two games, he still appeared to be thinking and playing tentatively instead of displaying the confidence and swagger he showed throughout the regular season.
"Obviously, he wants to play better, but it was a great experience for him to go that deep in the playoffs for the first time," Brown said. "Not only is it a faster game, it's a more physical game. On top of that, it's a well thought-out game. Everybody knows what's coming.
"You've just got to go out and make plays. It was a good thing for him to go through. The next time, he'll definitely be ready."
At the time of his struggles, Williams did what almost every professional athlete would have done: He downplayed them, insisting he wasn't nervous or feeling the pressure but rather just going through a slump at the wrong time.
There's no way an offseason is going to change a professional athlete's tune when it comes to feeling pressure or not delivering in the clutch, but Williams has found a way to put a positive spin on his playoff travails.
"To go that deep in the playoffs is very intense," he said. "To be able to be involved in it and have that experience, that's all I was missing."
Williams, who has been nursing a slight groin injury in training camp, vows to be a much-improved playoff performer in 2010, when the Cavaliers will once again be out to win the first title in franchise history.
"We have a nucleus of guys back, but at the same time we've got some guys who are new, who can do some things we didn't have last year," he said.
"When the owner spends a lot of money, it' just not to make the playoffs. It's just not to be mediocre. Our goal is high. We want to win a championship."
Watch it, Sam!
Asked if he survived the flu epidemic that hit the team last week, 37-year-old center Shaquille O'Neal said, "I don't get sick. The last time I got sick was when a dog bit my (butt) and I got rabies. It was a long time ago. Damn Rottweiler. His name was Sam. I'm gonna get you, Sam, if I see you. Sam bit me right in my right (butt) cheek. I went 'Aghhh' and got rabies."
Go West
Brown said guard Delonte West, who has yet to play in an exhibition game, will see action when general manager Danny Ferry gives "the green light." Brown did not know if that would be in time for tonight's preseason game against Dallas at Pittsburgh's Petersen Events Center, Wednesday in the team's preseason finale against Boston at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus or somewhere down the road.
Even if West doesn't see any action in the preseason, Brown will "try like the dickens" to get the guard minutes in the Oct. 27 season opener against Boston if he is cleared to play.
West, who has bipolar disorder, has left training camp twice this year, one a two-day unexcused absence that resulted in a fine and the other a one-week absence with the team's permission. He faces a Nov. 20 court date in Maryland on weapons charges and will almost certainly be suspended by the NBA when his legal matters are concluded.
Medical matters
James, who had surgery in June to remove a benign growth near his jaw, said he had a nervous few days while awaiting the results of a biopsy done in January.
"Anything like that should be a concern, but the doctors gave me some pretty good assurance they didn't think it was (cancerous)," he said.
On a related note, the Cavaliers have not yet received results of tests their players took for the H1N1 string of Influenza A. Should anyone have tested positive for H1N1, the team would need permission from that player (or players) before information could be released to the media.
- The Cavaliers reduced their roster to 18 by waiving forward Rob Kurz and center Luke Nevill. Cleveland must get down to the league maximum of 15 players by Thursday evening. Center Darryl Watkins and guard Russell Robinson are almost sure to go, meaning the final spot, assuming the Cavaliers keep 15 players, will go to point guard Andre Barrett or combination guard Coby Karl.
- With the possible exception of West, Brown said his starters and top rotational players will play "into the fourth quarter" tonight against Dallas. He hasn't decided how much action top players will see in the preseason finale Wednesday against Boston.
- The Cavaliers will hold their shootaround this morning at Cleveland Clinic Courts, then bus to Pittsburgh for tonight's game. Immediately after that game, they will fly to Columbus for their game against Boston the next night.

Lineage (genetic)
A genetic lineage is a series of mutations which connect an ancestral genetic type (allele, haplotype, or haplogroup) to derivative type.[1] In cases where the genetic tree is very bushy the order of mutations in the lineage is mostly known, examples are the order of mutations between E1b1b and E1b1b1a1a for the human Y-chromosomesal L0 or L1 nodes.[2]
A genetic lineage can be contrasted with an evolutionary lineage in that a genetic lineage applies to a locus. An example of the difference is that ancient African ape evolved into proto-gorilla and a chimpanzee-human ancestor, which further evolved into chimps and humans. While most human lineages coalesce with chimpanzee lineages, which then converge with gorilla lineages, a few human lineages coalesce with gorilla lineages and then converge with chimpanzee lineages (or chimpanzee lineages that coalesce with gorilla lineages and then converge with human lineages). This occurs because the speciation that marks evolutionary lineages occur as non-discrete events that are composed of 10s to 10000s of individuals in each developing taxa. This allows many variant lineages to be passed millions of years (See 2N-rule; 2 * 20 year/generations * 10,000 inds * ploidy) allows multiple deeply rooted lineages to be passed millions of years, over 2 or more speciation events. Such lineages may randomly undergo fixation at any time.
Basal lineage[edit]
In genetics a basal lineage is a genetic lineage that connects a variant allele (type) possessed by a more common ancestor that evolves into two descendant variants possessed by a branch ancestor. An example of a basal lineage is the lineage between mitochondrial 'Eve' and L0 or L1. Basal lineages may have types that are no longer represented in the extant population, only being defined by derivative types such as CRS for L1.[citation needed]
Peripheral lineage[edit]
Peripheral lineage (Also: surface lineage) are lineages in which interconnect an extant type to a branch ancestor.

Miss Preschool and I recently read The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry, and The Big Hungry Bear by Don and Audrey Wood and wanted to make a craft to go with the book.
We decided to make these simple fingerprint strawberries.
My motivation behind this craft was to create a project that would give Miss Preschool some scissor practice.
Supplies Needed:
Red construction paper
Green construction paper
Black paint
Small piece of felt
Before beginning I drew a simple strawberry shape on the red paper and the leaves and stem on the green paper. My strawberry shape almost took the whole sheet of red construction paper.
Miss Preschool started by cutting out the strawberry shape and the leaves with her scissors.
We then flipped them both over so you couldn't see the lines I had drawn. (I drew in black marker to make it clear where she needed to cut.)
Using a glue stick, she glued the leaves and stem onto the top of the strawberry.
I took a small piece of felt and put it on an empty lid. I added some black paint and blotted it a bit to get rid of any big clumps. We used this like you would a ink pad. Miss Preschool stuck her finger on the paint, then used it to add her fingerprints all over the strawberry.
We filled up the strawberry since we were using her fingerprints to mimic the seeds.
In the end, we had a simple project.
But we accomplished our goals of cutting practice and supplementing our book.
Remember, craft projects don't have to be complicated to be fun (and look good)!
What's the last simple craft project you and your kids have done?

Good Points
Simple to follow installation process. Resources are not overly taxed so old machines will run it quite happily.
General Comments
I use McAfee VirusScan Home Edition 8.0 Anti Virus Software and McAfee Personal Firewall Plus 5.0 on 10 machines of various versions of MS operating systems and have had good experiences all round. Have used Norton's and found it almost impossible to completely remove. McAfee support in Australia when I have needed it on the rare occasion has also been excellent.

When my husband and I moved from our home of 20-some-odd years to another in the same neighborhood, I spent a week transferring small items to the new one. Most of them were books.
We had floor to ceiling, wall to wall bookcases, so some of the volumes went to the Symphony Book Fair, a small number of others to a used book seller. Some we held onto and stacked on shelves that weren't quite as roomy. That forced me to hold my own book fairs during our 20 years here, lining the giveaways up on a table in the hall, and inviting friends to take their pick when they came for dinner.
My 85-year-old husband of 56 years died the week before Christmas, so now I'm moving again, this time to a big house to be shared with our daughter, son-in-law, and younger grandson until he leaves for college in the fall. And most of the contents of my bookshelves will not make this move because I've been reading on an e-reader for five years. There are a little more than 500 books in my "cloud" library, which includes those ordered by my husband, who had his own device on the same account.
Thank goodness I can easily transport these "books" to the new house!
And thank goodness for the e-reader, a solution to the eyesight problems that have plagued me for 30 years, ever since I had cataract surgery and then a retinal detachment. I read both of our local newspapers with a magnifying glass, but enjoy The Washington Post more because it's an app on my e-reader.
I'm friends with many seniors who don't approve of this, telling me they prefer "real" books: the kind you can hold in your hands, feel their weight, smell the ink, browse in bookstores or public libraries and, ultimately, consign to your bookshelves where you can admire and occasionally consult them for information or pleasure.
Of course, poor eyesight was the motivating factor in my purchase of an e-reader, but I'm also sold on some of their other advantages. You may, of course, revisit your books on your device whenever you like and they are more easily found than on your shelves unless you've arranged them as though they're in a public library. I never did, not being the tidy type.
You can browse for books on the website of the supplier, and read a synopsis and review. More books by the same authors are included in the postings, as well as content-related works by others.
Then there's the question of cost, which is important to many book-loving seniors. "The Rainbow Comes and Goes: A Mother and Son On Life, Love, and Loss," by Anderson Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt, was priced at $17.49 at one of the biggest bookstores, and at $14.79 for my e-reader, a saving of $2.70. Works by the likes Austen, Dickens and other wonderful writers of the past are usually free.
And by the way, the Latin term "ex libris" (above) translates as "from the library of" (a phrase inscribed in or on a book before the name of the owner). Actually, I don't think you can do that on an e-reader.

The In Crowd
With its focus on low-fi simplicity, online publishers and hip event organisers Kinfolk's popularity continues to grow. Each volume of their magazine contains work from a handpicked selection of artists and bloggers from across the globe and their themed dinner series has also been a huge success.
So it was really only a matter of time before they delved into the world of cookbooks and their first effort, The Kinfolk Table: Recipes for Small Gatherings?(Artisan Books,?around €45), is sure to get fans salivating. A collection of 85 simple, unfussy recipes, which, like the magazine, have been sourced ?from creative types around the world?, the book features submissions from chefs, home cooks, designers, bloggers, and photographers. It aims to put the emphasis back on the relationships that surround eating, and boasts Kinfolk's trademark mix of minimalist design, rustic touches, and achingly hip photography.

text: I was playing around with my DInc today.. Using Advanced Task Killer.. I killed some running apps. When I held down the home key (as you all know) the multi-task dialog window pops up. The multi-task window was showing apps that I had just killed.. So my question is.. Does this multi-task dialog window display currently running apps, or more of a history of the apps that you most recently used? Because I'm starting to doubt ATK's actually ability to kill a running app.

NYC's affordable housing ideas aren't the only ones I worry about but here's why this plan won't work.
Most of the affordable housing created under these plans will be out of reach for those who need it most: the more than 950,000 city households who earn less than 50 percent of AMI, or about $39,000 for a family of three. Under the Bloomberg administration, the majority of "affordable housing" went to households earning between $80,000 and $130,000. Data shows the city has a surplus of housing for families in this income range.
With the lowest-rent option creating housing for families earning 60 percent of AMI, these apartments will not be accessible to the vast majority of people currently living in the first three neighborhoods slated for rezoning. The median household income in East New York as of 2013 was $31,986, about 41 percent of AMI. In the Jerome Avenue area of the South Bronx, it's just $25,000, less than one-third of AMI, and East Harlem's median was 37 percent of AMI as of 2015.
Most locales do 15 percent while the NYC plan aims for 25 percent of new developments to be affordable but what does "affordable" mean?

Taken by Nicole from the other jeep.
- A quick little disclaimery thing; I'll try and describe the whole trip as best possible, just like I did in the last post about Kili, but no matter how good the pictures or literature, nothing ever compares to the real thing. If you get a chance I'd advise going and doing these things yourselves – experience is key.
After all that hard work, a little relaxation was in order - no lying around on beaches though, that's boring….
Once our bus got back into Arusha, we headed up into our rooms in the hotel for a much needed scrub down – which meant having to take our boots & socks off, at which point both me and Georgie started gagging, they didn't smell too great.
Moving on - the Kili crew all decided to meet down in the restaurant that evening for our first proper meal in nearly a week – it didn't really go to plan though. After 3 months of no alcohol, a strict diet and then no substantial meals for a week, my first few drinks absolutely slaughtered me. I think in total I drank the equivalent of about 3 or 4 pints of cider, but I felt like I'd drank triple that. To make things worse, the service at the hotel was a joke. We sat for over 2 hours with no food coming out, until in the end me & Georgie were fed up, took two pizzas off of a waiter bringing food to another table and headed upstairs.
Safari – The Ngorrongorro Crater
The next morning we had a pretty early start, setting off for the Crater on our first day of Safari. We packed our bags for an overnight stay, closer to the nature reserves, leaving our main luggage with the reception at Arusha and went on our way. Driving through Africa, no matter where you are, is always interesting – there's always something going on or cool to look at, this time was no different.
|The cows don't care for traffic
I spent quite a lot of the time talking to our driver for the day about the Masai people, their traditions, beliefs, tendencies etc. There were loads of the Masai along the roads, but at one point I spotted two young boys in their teens maybe, covered head to toe in jet black paint, large black feathers strapped to the sides of their heads with quite freaky white face paintings. The driver told me these were Masai boys who have been sent away from their tribes, out into the wild to become men, at which point they can return. I asked him if we see any others could he slow down, for me to take a picture – he laughed and said okay, but they're not going to like it. I believed him but I didn't anticipate what was to come. The next pair that appeared along the road both had spears and were decorated the same as the previous pair. We slowed down slightly when we came close, and the instant I lifted my camera to take a photograph, both young boys lifted their spears and swiped at the front passenger side of the jeep where I was sitting. Being a tough, plated safari jeep, it didn't get damaged, I was pretty shook up though. The driver then told me they are angry all the time because they've just been circumcised - I suppose that's a fair enough reason.
|Nicole just about got a photo of them - pretty scary dudes.
|My terrible attempt - this guy had some fancy feathers though
Closer to the crater we pulled in at a local store - I imagine the owners gave our drivers some sort of tip for stopping off with tourists. The place seemed pretty nice, fenced off with guards, but nice. What shook me up even more then the Masai boys however, was one of the guards reactions when I asked could I take a photo of him – I wanted to get as many portraiture photos of the people I met in Africa as possible. He was sitting down on a type of plastic garden chair, holding a shotgun. When I asked he shouted at me, pumped the shotgun and stood up raising it towards me. I didn't know what to say or do really so I started backing up towards the shop which everyone else had gone in to. He shouted something else about my friends inside at which point I turned and went inside. When I came back outside three soldiers were saying something to him, but he didn't look over at me or anything, we got into the jeeps and drove off.
We eventually arrived at the upper rim of the Ngorrongorro Crater – I've never before and don't know if I will again see anything so vast in front of me. No matter what I write about it on this, no matter how many pictures I show of it, you can only appreciate its size when you visit the place yourself. It was seriously amazing and overwhelming to look at – I'd recommend it highly.
|Dan & Me standing on the rim of the crater.
|A Masai village just inside the crater
|A water buffalo hidden in the bushes - these guys probably shocked me the most in terms of their size, they are huge!
|really zoomed in but still amazing to look at
|Looking very excited with Dan & Holly
Now this is where the cool animals get involved – Simba and his crew. We noticed a group of jeeps huddled around these few trees and bushes, which when we drove over turned out to be because of a group of lions. Something that was quite annoying though was the fact that every single lion we saw, bar two cubs, was asleep, and we must have seen around thirty lions - not a good look guys. Some turned out to be quite funny to watch while they were asleep however – they like to roll around on their back, legs wide open.
|Lioness on her back, not a care in the world...
|Our driver told us that after a big feed, lions will lie around and sleep for up to 30 hours.
When we came up to the last group of the day one was lying right beside the track, so far in that we were able to drive up against it almost. The driver told us the lions wouldn't wake up no matter how loud the noise around them – I whistled at them, slapped the doors and against the roof etc, but in the end he was right. I was pretty gutted, I wanted it to jump up and just do something cool I suppose – kill something maybe?
|Even though you know they'd kill you in an instant, they're still pretty cute
Later on, we drove towards one of the lakes in the crater, stopping off for a break, to get out of the jeep and walk around a little, there were many safari groups together here so it was pretty safe , I think – the guides seemed to think so anyway, regardless of a huge group of hippos being in the lake, Africa's biggest man killer.
I climbed up onto the branch of a tree by the lakes shore, it was pretty cool just to sit back and take in the scenery, no photos or talking, just looking. At one point a group of school kids on a trip from North Africa, came up to me asking could they take a picture with me, I didn't really know why, but in the end one told me they thought I was an English football player, which was funny because I hate football.
|Me & the kids
After the stop off we drove around a little more, stopping off beside a herd of zebra who came in real close to the jeep, calm and comfortable being around us.
|It amazed me how fine and precise their stripes are - i also used to think they were as big as some horses, when in fact they're more the size on donkeys
|Two zebras standing in their camouflage formation
|Hanging out by the pool in our hotel for the evening.
The Tarangire –
Early start again, today was going to be busy, we had to do a lot of driving and safari, and make it back to Kilimanjaro airport for our flight to Zanzibar. We had a new driver now, he told us where we were going for our safari today was definite elephant country, so we were almost guaranteed to see them, which was exciting, I'd never seen an elephant up close.
|Now I know Georgie isn't the biggest of guys, but I think you can still appreciate the size of this elephants skull
|Chewing on an elephants thigh bone - this thing must have weighed 30kg atleast
Almost as soon as we arrived into the reserve, a family of elephants caught the drivers eye, walking in single file, left of the track. We drove along while they marched for a little while, until pulling up near another track headed for the river. A few moments later they emerged from the trees, still in single file, walking right in front of our jeep, it was incredible to see. Our driver got a call on his radio saying that something promising was in another area of the reserve so we drove on watching the elephants wander off.
To whoever was on the radio – cheers for the tip off, what we found when arrived at the place we were told about was the most picturesque thing in nature I ever have and probably ever will see; another group of elephants standing in a shallow river, while a pride of lions lay on the banks with their cubs played in the river. This is a prime example of my whole idea on pictures/literature not being enough – the pictures we all took are great but not enough.
|Simply amazing.
|Mama lion checking on the cubs - the only time we saw an adult lion awake.
We spent quite a while here, just taking it all in, I don't think any amount of time, witnessing something as special as that could have been enough for me, it was truly amazing.
We then moved on, driving around for quite some time – there wasn't as much wildlife here as in the carter but the experiences I had were far better I think. We came across a few more elephants, some alone, some in small groups, but nothing out of the ordinary. We then got another radio call telling us of some elephants near one of the tracks, and quickly made our way towards that area. Coming closer, we started spotting a few elephants, more and more, until at one point we drove through a narrow gap between some tress/bushes, which when we emerged, we were surround by a large group of them. The engine was quickly switched off and we were told to keep very quiet – I climbed up through the open roof to have a look at them all. A mother elephant with her calf were stood not even 10ft from my side of the jeep, just looking at us all hanging out of the roof staring at them – I tried to reach out and touch the calf but it was a bit of a longshot, plus the mother started making these sort of grunts and would have probably flipped the jeep.
|This is taken standing on the seats inside the jeep, leaning out of the roof and they were still taller then me.
|very close - I think the driver was nervous we'd freak it out and make it charge
I really wanted something like that to happen though. Not then and there because it was a bit too dangerous but I did hope for maybe a rhino to attack the jeep at some point, nothing major but a massive smash would have been pretty sick. I didn't even get to see a rhino either – the number one thing I was hoping to get up close to.
It was time to leave, we drove back towards the gates, but had to stop off for something, I can't remember why, but me and Dan hopped out and took a walk around, bearing in mind this was still technically the wild. We found these small monkeys, quite a lot of them, running up and down some tress collecting bit and bobs from the floor. I've always known any type of wild monkey can be quite dangerous, and bite, but these guys seemed okay – not that I'm an expert on monkeys. We took some food out of our jeep and started giving it to them. Far more suddenly appeared jumping down from the trees, hoping for food. It was funny watching them argue over pieces of Pringles and whatever else we gave them, until our driver got really pissed at us and had a bit of a hissy fit - he said they'll now always expect food, but we couldn't resist giving them a little snack, I don't think it really did any harm.
|Poor little fella was probably starving

On our drive to the airport, we took a route through a busy road, packed with cars, bikes, people, cows and dogs. We were driving pretty slow due to the traffic, and out of nowhere the driver in the jeep ahead of us hit and run over a dog. The poor thing ran off squealing holding up its back leg. Everyone in the jeep was so shocked and angry at how the driver in front had just done that to an innocent dog, except our driver; he was cracking up, thought it was hilarious. He wasn't laughing though when we got to the airport and no one tipped him, arsehole.
|although its not tiny, its the smallest plane I've been on

Flying to Zanzibar, out of Kilimanjaro airport means you fly along side the mountain, not above it. This was really was insane to see and take in. Mid flight our plane flew at 12,000 ft, and as we passed Kili, we looked out and still had to face up to see its peak, sitting at 19,341 ft. That really put into perspective what we'd achieved.
We arrived in Zanzibar in the late evening, and after a couple of hours in a bus we arrived at our hotel, sat down and ordered dinner. Zanzibar is one of my favourite places I've been, and the food some of the best I've tasted. That night I had grilled red snapper with some sort of pepper sauce, vegetables and rice – it was beautiful, so fresh and organic.
|Sadie & Me on the beach outside our hotel
Later on some of us decided we wanted to have a few drinks and after speaking to some Swedish girls, they pointed us over to a bar the locals knew as 'Gangsta bar' – we thought that was its actual name, turned out it wasn't, it was where the dealers and pimps hung out.
We sat down at what I suppose you could call a bar, more of a board across two blocks, and ordered some drinks. Almost immediately one of the men in the bar sat on a stool beside me. He had short hair, with one long deadlock at the back of his head, his body covered in tattoos which were clearly done through some sort of gang ritual and it was obvious he was high on drugs. He had one hand in his shorts and in the other he was holding a small revolver – I wasn't too nervous though because lots of people over there carried guns, but at the same time the scenario we were in was a bit sketchy. He asked me if I wanted any ketamine – instead of answering I said isn't that what they use to knock out elephants, he laughed and then pointed to a woman sitting beside us and asked if I wanted sex with her for a good price. I said no thank you and bought him a beer to break the atmosphere a little. I've never seen someone so surprised at being given a beer before. He turned out to be one of my best mates I've ever met while abroad, I still speak to him now a little on Facebook – his name's Respect.
Something I came to understand while in Zanzibar is at home in London, anyone who sells drugs or traffics women is seen as scum, but over there almost everyone is involved in it some way or another, its juts a different way of life, people forget that sometimes. – Not that I condone any of it.
We spent the next few days taking it easy, eating, drinking, taking walks around the island a little. I spent a lot of time with the locals – spending time with the locals and getting to know them in my opinion is one of the best way to experience somewhere – I made quite a few friends with a lot of the boys working the beach, who sold boat trips, snorkels etc and of course, sex and drugs, but mainly Respect and his crew.
After spending some time with him, Respect told me a lot about himself; his life growing up, his crew, his fights with Masai tribes on the island, that type of thing. He showed me some of his scars from fights he'd had. His stomach was covered in loads of small bits of scar tissue; he told me he'd been shot, hence the marks. His right shoulder had a huge dip in it, which he told me a Masai tribesman done to him with a machete, swiping at him trying to kill him in a fight. It was surprising how open he was about it all. I asked him about his tattoos, and what they all meant – that he wouldn't tell me however; instead he laughed and said the whole 'if I told you I'd have to kill you' line.
|Relaxed evenings on paradise island
The crew decided to book a boat trip for one of the days, I'm pretty sure everyone came long, it included snorkeling gear, drinks on the boat, and a stop off on a small inhabited island for a grilled fish meal. Previous to this, all the boats I'd been on were factory manufactured, relatively new models; this one however was probably the coolest I'd ever been on. It was literally tree trunks bound together with ropes and nails, with planks attached here and there. It was purely powered by the wind, with its sail being a large sheet of some form of hand made cloth. Sailing along the coast on Zanzibar on this boat was another experience where I just sat back and took it all in, appreciating where I was and the beauty of what was around me.
|Goofing about up the front of the boat
The guys pulled the boat up at another small island, this time real close in – we all hopped out, and walked in towards the shore carrying all our stuff for the BBQ. I'd heard Zanzibar had the whitest beaches in Africa, and yeah they were all pretty white but nothing compared to this beach – you couldn't walk around without being blinded by the reflection off the sand, sun glasses were a necessity.
We were cooked king fish, which was served with rice and vegetables in a sauce. Easily, this was by miles, the best fish I'd ever eaten, beyond delicious. As I said earlier the food in Zanzibar was incredible. We spent a while longer on the island, messing about, just enjoying where we were, and then packed up and began sailing home.
|Typical set up for our dinners in Zanzibar

The next day, we'd organized to take a trip into Stone Town, Zanzibar's busiest town. This was really exciting for me, as it had a strong essence of the culture of Zanzibar. Being an island known for its fish and spice markets, this was the place to be if you wanted to be right in the middle of the hustle and bustle – which I did. As always I enjoyed the drive, sitting near the window, taking in as much as I could as it flew past my window. When we arrived in Zanzibar, it was clear there was an edgy atmosphere manifested in the people rushing towards one part of the town. Sadly, this turned out to be the friends and family of passengers who were on the MV Skagit ferry, which capsized and eventually sank. People lined the banks around the port looking out at the rescue ferry coming towards us, whilst crowds were in a frenzy, up against the gates fighting to get past the guards and find survivors. I felt quite, rude and insignificant standing there, watching some of these peoples lives being torn apart, I think we all did, so we moved on.
My dads line of work is architectural salvage – I think it's because of this that I'm hugely interested in architecture and architectural features. Zanzibar was magnificent in that aspect; its buildings were plated with finely detailed woodwork, doors hand carved to precise accuracy and so so much intricate fretwork almost everywhere. It kept my eyes and attention busy, almost on overdrive.
|Stone Town, Town Hall
The end of the day, and our trip came, we drove back to our hotel, packed our stuff ready to leave in the morning and fly back to Nairobi, and had one last evening in Zanzibar. I had a few drinks with Respect and his boys and headed to bed. All in all Zanzibar would easily go into my top 3 places I've ever been, It was such an amazing place, with the most chilled vibe and easy going people I'd met. No one was in a hurry to be somewhere or stressed about getting things done, it had great food, good weather, and the most I spent on a bottle of cider was the equivalent of around 65p - it really was like a paradise island.

Haters of black achievement are poisonous to black people by Eusebius McKaiser
After 20 years of democracy it's still nicer being a white South African than being a black one. A white baby born this morning is more likely to live a flourishing life 20 years from now than a black one.
But guess what? If you think, as a black reader of this column, the sole or primary reason for this is the persistence of "whiteness" or the economic hegemony of white capital, you're focusing on only one part of the problem.
Yes, that would be an important and big part of the economic justice problem, but not the entire problem.
Reality check: as blacks, we're often our own worst nightmare, a fact masked by the presence of race-based structural inequalities that focus our collective anti-whiteness attention.
God alone knows what we would do if white people disappeared in a puff of magic after you've read the final word of this column entry.
Are you wondering what sparked this all? And about the justification for these assertions? Here goes.
I've noticed an irritating tendency for a couple of years now among some black people to hate other blacks who excel or who are actively chipping away at their goals as they march towards excellence, towards self-actualisation.
A guy starts a magazine. He dreams of profiling black excellence, provoking his readers to act in their own lives. His magazine flounders and folds. He is condemned for the effort.
A woman expands her business empire. It's not a spaza shop operation, but a luxury brands boutique. She gets a loan from a development finance institute with stringent conditions. She is criticised for not being an aspirant spaza shop owner, and stealing money from fledgling businesses worthier of loans.
It's lost on the crowd that it is a loan, not a handout. And with conditions the spaza shop owner couldn't meet.
Her crime? Black excellence. Her core critics? Blacks. All this while the Oppenheimers leave on a plane for a Swiss breakaway holiday. No critics around. No critique of the origins of their wealth.
Whites don't self-sabotage unearned privilege.
A man writes a book critically archiving his memories of life in a Gauteng township, beautifully showing the banality of black life as a middle finger against apartheid. He is criticised for apparently romanticising apartheid, a chief black critic criticising him after telling the public that he, energetic critic, never read the book.
Meanwhile, mostly white book lovers buy this brilliant debut book from one of the finest writers in the country, while many blacks averse to books throw stompies at his black excellence.
They self-sabotage the black consciousness project in a fit of intra-black jealousy.
A man discovers rocket fuel as a talented youngster in the Eastern Cape. Americans grab him, name a minor planet after him, let him design his own degree at Harvard, where he studies engineering, and for fun reads moral philosophy while learning Mandarin.
He returns home after a life-changing experience made him conscious of life's unpredictability and he comes back, next discovery completed, determined to be a rock star social entrepreneur using engineering and science in general for good social ends.
He, unlike the other characters in this story, doesn't get torn apart. For him, it is even worse: he is nameless, faceless and invisible. Because black excellence doesn't excite us enough to carry him on our shoulders and out on the cover of magazines.
He is more brilliant, despite his age, than the other sharp black South Africans I have not named in this column. Yet fewer readers will guess his name.
We're keener to know the name of the black business captain whose penis is in the news than we care to know the name of one of the most gifted sons of this country.
When I profiled this Harvard engineer and social entrepreneur on my radio show, I had to swallow the knot in my throat as I listened to him. I was caught off guard by his humanity more so than his intellectual brilliance.
His compassion for others made him correct my description of his career: no, he's not a scientist interested in research for its own sake.
He wants science to be a means to an end, that end being the reduction of our social challenges such as expensive and ineffective energy sources that affect the poorest the worst.
But you wouldn't know these details. Because communities like #blacktwitter prefer pseudo-profound 140-character tweets, and hating those who defy apartheid stereotypes, instead of joining the effort to turn around the narrative about black (in)competence.
Finally, if you wonder – for the umpteenth time – why these observations are narrated in group identity terms, I don't apologise for that.
The reason is simple: injustices were not and seldom are meted out to individuals. Our legacy of injustices – sexism, class-based racism – are structured in group terms. And strategies to eliminate their impact must be structural interventions.
This doesn't mean group identities are compulsory. A black guy can be an asshole who hates black achievers in our midst. That's his right.
Nelson Mandela didn't go to prison for us to have a black essence. Black individuals can and do see the world differently.
But know this: you, black hater of black excellence, are as poisonous to black people overcoming racism's reach as a white person blind to unearned privileges.

@[email protected] "whack him with a stick" I believe you said, and you are accusing of insult? Here's one: Are you missing a chromosome?
Baring a miracle…the managing behind the scene IMF/ World Bankers who own the Dem/ Republicans….same coin just two different sides….same coin…it is unlikely that Dr. Paul will get the Republican nomination…….I hope he does….if not he should strongly consider splitting off into Revolution third independent party… Baring vote fraud ( which is really real….meaning everyone voting for Dr. Paul NEEDS to vote absentee ballot; certified mail return receipt requested send in to precinct AND CM/ R3 notarized copy to Dr. Paul…..undeniable proof of vote… a serious suggestion….to consider…
It is NOT an economy problem…it is a Printing press problem by the non Federal Federal Reserve Bank… The solution is Hour Bills…..1/2, 1/4, 1/8th,….. based on an hour of labor…something of value…DEBT free…like Ithaca, NY……barter script….
Technically, President Paul CAN and COULD issue an Executive Order to Order his One Trillion cut plan….President Lincoln NEVER rescinded Marshall Law after the Civil War…It is STILL in effect ( factual proof at http://www.teamlaw.org ) thus the ONLY reason why Executive Orders lawfully exist…
William H. Wyttenbach, M.D. Honorably discharged, USAF Anesthesiologist, Pain Medicine, Emergency Medicine… This once great nation needs a healer and this healer is Dr. Ron Paul
Ron Paul is intellectually interesting, and practically completely unreal! No Taxes??? Really?? REALLY??? That's about the stupidest statement anyone can make. Who's paying for schools, roads, services, public libraries, parks, fountains, July4th, … the list is endless.
The danger in this country is everyone is getting intellectually lazy – think and investigate for yourselves, people! Don't take a politician's or a media outlet's view point as gospel. EVERYONE HAS AN AGENDA – AND YOU DON'T FIGURE IN IT!
You obviously didn't read his plan to solve the problems.
Taxes is no magic. It's the money government can spend at your expense. In most cases government is ineffective and lack knowledge about the local problems. Ron Paul simply says that the people and the free market will do a better job.
I believe Ron is talking about No Federal Taxes. He wants to give the power back to the States. The things you listed are things the States and local governments could pay for with their taxes. I am just wondering about things that only the Fed Government can provide. How will defense be paid for if the income tax is gone? I know we will have less spending on wars and overseas bases which is not bad because I think we should not be spending money on wars. We should only be defending our own country not everyone else.
Good one Marc but these people want to hear happy, happy, feel good buzz words from Ron. The go to bed at night and dream about not having to pay any taxes. They must think that the god or gods will provide everything that taxes provide. It's utter foolishness.
@[email protected] Gray, please move to France. We fought the Monarchy to keep our money back during a little thing called the revolutionary war. The power is supposed to be to the states, plus block grants for programs, once again to the states. The only way you could defend an unconstitutional unapportioned tax on Americans is if you are on welfare. Are you?
@[email protected]@MarcSivam Sorry, but taxation is within the realm of the 1787 constitution as congress can make whatever law it deems necessary and proper to fulfill the 1787 constitution's rationale as declared in its Preamble.
@[email protected]@MarcSivam Right, but if only federal taxes were paying for the virtues stated in the preamble that would be great, much of which has been left to interpretation, and with disregard to the 16th ammendment we live with unapportioned federal taxation. I think the realization of this fact is bearing fruit, finally… tea party movements, the heaviest liberaterianism we've seen and distrust of government as shown in census polling.
@[email protected]@MarcSivam
"…. much of which has been left to interpretation,…" Ah…. and therein lies the rub. I recall a line written by a pamphleteer during the debate over ratification of the 1787 constitutional coup that essentially said Electing representatives is fine, but then they must be watched constantly lest they dip their hand in your purse. [Damn character limit}
@[email protected]@MarcSivam Continued: I suggest consideration of this fact: We the People, in whose name the federal government was supposedly formed and acts for as per the Preamble, have never actually controlled the federal government, and have thus never been consulted on matters of interpretation, along with the waging of war, the building of Empire and other important questions. Do please examine the document created in 1787 at Philadelphia, look at what it created, and ask yourself if it's an authoritarian or democratic document, while recalling that the document in question did NOT contain the first 10 amendments.
@MarcSivam If you are as intellectual as you infer…go read http://www.CAFRman.com a Retired USAF Colonel…..ONLY 20% of EVERY dollar you donate (are extorted in taxes) are spent on the "Budget" 80% are put into slush funds managed by trustees ( the banks)…LOL it sounds insane but true….In 2000 under Freedom of Information I got the Hidalgo County, TX CAFR just the county alone had 17 Million dollars slushed away….that doesn't COUNT every city, every Independent School district has their OWN CAFR…. William Wyttenbach, M.D.
@MarcSivam I forgot to share…CAFR stands for Comprehensive Annual Financial Report….W. Wyttenbach, M.D.
@[email protected] thanks for sharing, this is sweet info… 🙂
@MarcSivam Marc, if you are a homeowner you know that your PROPERTY taxes already pay for schools. Think about everything you mentioned, except national parks, Fed taxes do not pay for those things. Check out some Milton Friedman, Nobel Prize Winner, he is a renowned economist who was in favor of tax abolitionism and free markets which in every instance throughout history led to a more prosperous society. "when you put equality before freedom, you get neither, when you put freedom before equality, you get a great deal of both" Socialism and over taxing leads to NO middle class as we see in most third world country dictatorships, and many societies throughout history, leading to very poor and very rich only. It's very interesting, check it out.
@[email protected] Great revelation. Property taxes will pay for the teachers, firemen, and police.
And the amount of time that Grayrough spends blogging on Ron Pauls website is lost time on Obama's website for convincing the Independents to elect him again. Independents helped Obama win but, guess who they are now supporting?
Future President Paul is talking about a FEDERAL INCOME TAX, everything you just mentioned is a local or state tax with the exception of roads, so all your local services would still be paid for through taxes.
@MarcSivam You are about the stupidest statement anyone can make. You should do your research before you go crying crazy. First off, he isn't offering to repeal it he clearly said he wishes to work towards that as an ultimate goal. Most of our time as a country has been spent without an income tax. It is not unrealistic.
All of this pointless spending is what's unrealistic. Printing money every time we need to pay off a debt is unrealistic.
Ron Paul's agenda has been made clear to everyone by now. He's got 45 years banked. You've got absolutely nothing to go off on the claim that the American people don't factor into his agenda. He has fought for our freedoms tooth and nail longer than you've probably been alive.
Please be advised and study real historical facts.
No federal income taxes, our roads are paid for with a tax on gasoline, Police, fire schools are paid by the state. At the state level the citizens have power to control the state in the form of propositions. We don't have any power at the federal level.
Three questions: How much do you pay in federal income taxes?
Are you happy with what they have done with it?
Did you approve of 700 billion in TARP going to the banks?
The ONLY candidate that will give us something different is Ron Paul
@MarcSivam no income tax you moron there will still be corporate tax ……. you are braindead and obviously cant read which makes me wonder why should we bother spending so much on public school if they keep churning out sheep/morons like you
THE GOVT DOES NOT OWN MY PAYCHECK! And rather than bring the troops home and close all the USA bases overseas and returning to some sort of gold standard…Herman Cain wants to create a NEW TAX….Ron Paul wants you to keep 100% of your money, because YOU know how to spend it better then the Fed Govt does.
I stand beside you fellow Patriots, we must restore America back to its core principles. Thrive and prosper by eliminating these foreign bankster thugs!Ron Paul 2012 PeaceProsperityAuditing the CORRUPT Federal Reserve [printing their valueless paper money]ACCOUNTABILITY! TRANSPARENCY!Effectively END these disgusting, illegal WARS [fathers, mothers and children murderous WARS.]
Hey guys, what is up with the newsmax polls? They must be baised.
I think Dr. Paul did very well. Have you noticed the joy in him in the recent interviews? Something big is about to happen!
Poll – Can't let Ron Paul lose one right?
How about a campaign to get fair coverage from CNN?
I left email with both CNN and Anderson Cooper expressing my disappointment with the way the Ron Paul was denied his closing statement in tonight's debate in Vegas. I also left a phone comment as well at: 404-827-1500.
Then after making my online donation, I called the CNN breaking news line at: 404-827-1500, and informed them of the breaking news that Ron Paul's money bomb had raised about $100,000 in about 38 minutes.
I suggest that all Ron Paul supporters flood CNN with both comments and breaking news about the money bomb.
By the way, here are my email comments to CNN and Anderson Cooper:
Dear Anderson Cooper,
As an registered voter, I thought it was totally shameful the way the you denied Ron Paul his closing statement in tonight's debate in Vegas. I further observed that you pretended that Ron Paul doesn't exist during your coverage in the spin room which is where you should have been issuing an on-air apology to Ron Paul, and the viewers of the debate. I urge you to do the right thing and give Ron Paul a five minute segment on CNN tomorrow to explain how he will defeat Obama in the 2012 election. Furthermore, I urge you to also give Ron Paul a ten minute segment to explain the details of his Restore America plan… It's the only fair and right thing to do… Do the right thing!!!
@Liberty_man I did the same thing right after the debate. Almost the same wording.
Great to hear it Sandra!!!
Attention all Ron Paul supporters… The squeaky wheel gets the oil… We have the numbers to shutdown the switchboards at CNN, the O'Reilly Factor, or anybody else that we choose…
How about some coordinated MEDIA "CALL IN" BOMBS???…
If 10,000 or more of us start dropping coordinated MEDIA "CALL IN" BOMBS the media will get tired of us and STOP BLACKING OUT RON PAUL… WE CAN DO THIS… WHO IS WITH ME???
Facebook poll would be an interesting experiment…
Ridiculous. Since they do not let Paul speak, make sure you speak for him tomorrow during the Black This Out money bomb.
@dabutchur This is a different world than it was in 2008. I expect big things to happen on Paul's road to the white house…
@trebmalpm I pray you are right
November 5, 2011
Close your Corporate Bank accounts and join a Credit Union!
I think Ron did good but he needs more time to talk in these debates.
I think Ron did great but should have got more time to talk.
Ron my man. You gotta get your staff and yourself after these biased, slanted, deceitful media sheepdogs. It's still early, but although you don't act like the others. grab the bull by the horns and make them take attention and give you the respect that you deserve. We all lose if you lose.
@dawid Notice how CNN didn't put up a poll because they don't want to see the real frontrunner.
Ron Paul all the way!!!
as usual Dr. Paul decimated his opponents and also as usual they pretended he did not exist on the debate closing analysis.
The debate rules were biased in that you had less time to speak if the other candidates did not refer to you. For the most part the other candidates shunned Dr. Paul for this reason. So the debate was mostly Mitt and Rick arguing over who was the biggest fuckup. Dr. Paul…you need to assert yourself a little more. Sling some mud dude!
I agree, he must become more aggressive during debates.
As usual, Ron Paul got ignored at the end!!
Santorum: They didn't let you respond.
Ron Paul: They never do.
