 as we have seen are worth zip), and (ii) a detailed explanation of exactly how they plan to address the transportation issue that has already come to a head with fully funded capital to carry it out. The L is a disaster from 8-10:30 every morning. Will they hire Tokyo-style subway stuffers to jam people in? The neighborhood needs a plan from the city.
But mark my words, and hear them well, if this involved South Brooklyn and the precious people of park slope or BK heights, Daniel Squadron and his people would have fought to the ends of the earth to make the park happen before capitulating. The politicians don't care; North Brooklyn doesn't vote well (excluding the Satmars) and the median income as of the last census was too low for anyone to recognize your voice. Ironically, it may be residents on the much maligned waterfront that make the politicians finally pay attention to improving the neighborhood infrastructure, because if you aren't rich your voice definitively does not matter to anyone involved in the process. It is blatantly apparent in how this "promised" park situation played out.
Did your family honestly sit around on a decaying slab of concrete as a leisure activity? That park is embarrassing and the space used by the flea was entirely unused 365 days a year. I view it from my apartment, nobody was there, the $60k or so they get from the flea is helpful.
20 dates x 1500= 30k paid to parks. As much as one million dollars in vendor rental fees to the promoter.
$1500x2 (Sat Sun) x 20 = 60k.
10 weekends, not 20 weekends. 20 dates.
Gross is not net. It isn't.
Wait, no, not it doesn't.
 It. The deal is bad if it isn't at least 12-15%. It's not even close.
Hmm... So, unused land (yes, unused) producing nothing is better than one that produces a little? I see.
So, if the "deal" was 12% how many of you whiners would be silent and say, "Yes, this is a good deal." You'd just trot out some other excuse to suggest a company using a decaying chunk of concrete is the end of the world.
Do you know why this plot of land is even *useable* for the Flea? Because the Flea folks paid to prepare the plot of land.
As soon as this land has any plan to become an *actual* park, guess who won't be allowed to use the plot for their weekend business? Work on that. In the meantime, it's $60,000 or NOTHING.
I love seeing all the politicians and non-profits clamoring around Brodsy. Courting him for nothing. Maybe trying to get a little slice of the 200 million deal he wants for the behemoth Citistorage eyesore. What a racket the community board & political scene is.
It is an actual park already, and it is used. You should check it out, ty. Anytime monday through friday is terrific. 
Children like to ride their scooters on those slabs. Now people are drinking on those slabs on the weekends.
Mom, people like to drink on those slabs. But your children are riding their scooters on them during the week.If it seems like it's cheating to bunch a handful of games together in one entry... well, it kind of is. There are a number of other Final Fantasy games on this list, but each of them was chosen for some very specific aspect. Final Fantasy IV, VI, and VII are probably the least radical of the modern entries -- and therefore, the least unique -- yet they're considered to be the most beloved entries in the series.
It's easy to point fingers at Square Enix for abusing the Final Fantasy VII series with its multiple spin-offs, like the lousy shooter Dirge of Cerberus or the vapid action flick Advent Children.
But the world is so rich and interesting that it actually feels like it has enough depth to explore and expand. The best spinoff -- Crisis Core for the PSP -- draws heavily on the player's nostalgia for Final Fantasy VII, so wandering through Midgar feels like revisiting an old friend. Despite its overbaked tendencies, it still remains compelling, even after the twists have long worn out their appeal.NCCo Executive reacts to Tom Gordon’s run for his old job
Paul Clark says his record as New Castle County Executive speaks for itself and isn’t worried about former county executive Tom Gordon’s recently announced run to win his old job back.
“I think Tom is somewhat misguided in his thoughts. I think he’s frustrated that when he left office he left in disgrace. I think a lot of people out there are just cringing about him coming back,” said Clark.
While some speculate the Democratic primary could get ugly, Clark says waging a dirty political campaign is not his way of doing business.
“My way of running a campaign is to talk about the story, and the facts and I think we have a tremendous record,” said Clark. “Back in the day, when the county that Gordon was here, money was rolling in. I remember one of the council people saying one time, ‘It’s easy to govern when you have money, it’s much harder when you don’t.’ I think we’ve done an excellent job with the money we had.”
Land Use Department employee Bill Shahan is also in the running.

I get that you can't choose who's joining your SOS, but it's alright to have preferences. I'd suggest to look for lobbies with a few people in it from a HR player like yourself. Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll join your hunts. 

Other than that, I can say that I'm not fond of MR players busting Assignment quests. It's where you get to enjoy your first fight with a new monster, and that's being thrown out the window when a HBG user finishes the quest within a minute. I personally join any quests but Assignments, since there's a high chance people are just grinding for parts and need help to kill a monster faster.

Whatever fancy terms political scientists or politicians can coin, Game Theory, Great Man theories, brinksmanship politics, realism, post structuralism, Asian values, sovereignty, National Interest, international law etc, when we analyse this Nguyen affair, it was all about Face. No disrespect to Rodan, political activists, lawyers, journalists and the politicians both Singaporean and Aussie, who have all come out with the same tropes to appeal and defend their respective positions in this affair. It was all about Face. Face is not a topic covered in textbooks. Face underlies a lot of political decisions West or East. But it is perhaps only in the latter where Face is an art form. Coded by Confucius.

Xenoboy got it absolutely wrong here.
For three years, Nguyen's case was deliberately kept low-key at the insistence of his lawyer. It was only after the the rejection of the clemency appeal that it made headlines.
Nguyen never stood a chance from the get-go.
He would have been hung with or without the Singapore Govt losing its face.
More than 850 prisoners before him have died without a squeak of protest from anyone.
Nguyen's fate was sealed when Howard declared that diplomatic ties will not be damaged. It gave PM Lee to green light to execute Nguyen.
At least Nguyen (and Shanmugam) went out igniting a trail of debate about the death penalty in Singapore, and at the same time exposing its Govt's dictatorial ways to the world.
It made me sick to watch the Singaporean PM talked about 'the law......' blah blah blah.
How did he get to become the PM again??? Solely on his own hard work, did he?
Of'course he would not understand at all why anyone would be desparate enough to be involved in grug trafficking. Ditto with the Oz PM.
What are the responsibilities of Oz govt in all these, the education system, etc
Why after more than 10 years of prosperity, there are still young australians in foreign jails for drug trafficking? Have we failed them?
Both you morons have TOTALLY misread XenoBoy's entry. sighz
It is ABSOLUTELY spot-on without detracting from the efforts of those who fought, including the other editors of this blog. Think of that German girl who got off.
His postscript explains it best. Screw it all.
