IRT "Leave parks natural, minus commercials". Marketing ... nuf already! How much eye pollution are you willing to put up with? i reached the marketing saturation point a long time ago ... it seems to be every where [on line, in the paper, magazines, TV, on streets, in buses & on buses & trucks ... on and on. We are so fortunate that The Outdoor Circle has done a great job of trying to keep a lid on this for a long time. It is one of the reasons that Hawaii is a desirable place to visit.

Look at south end of Forks, a real garbage dump, with criminal illegals living there, right next to visitors center! How nice! Welcome to Forks and the garbage Dump trailer park that looks beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Delete

Thank the Harvard-educated savant Steve Novick for this deal.

We don't really understand the onset, factors, whole etiology of what some term "clinically depressed". cause effect, reinforcers, etc. Having watched some of my combat veteran buddies spin into brick walls (e.g., bridge abutments) owing to the slurry of drugs the VA hands out like a pez machine...I am very suspicious of "medication" as so-called treatment for largely emotional issues. Some are on 4-7 drugs.

More proof that an armed society is a polite society?

ktuu updated the story of the woman stating she had been shot and hit by a vehicle and they did not yet know which one she died from.

What else can theDonald say, he's up front. It is a SWAMP! Sessions declared WAR on the Leaking Creatures in the Swamp Dump!

Sure. Keep telling yourself that. But that 'victim' card is getting pretty ragged.

You would have to ask Mr. Phillips how a cake promotes something, perhaps he hears cakes talking to him. "And I'm sure he wasn't asked to design the cake." We you a witness to the transaction or are you "sure" because that fits your opinion?

i dont think so, from the photo you can see there is not that many people

Hate to nitpick but the article itself has a chart that says 26% of our GDP is tied to US trade - not 35% Seems nitpicky but 10% of our GDP is a big diff

What is actually scary is "The other was at a hospital on the mainland and tested positive a month ago"..."said State Health department officials, who made the announcement Friday", but we are just learning about it now. How can there be control and warnings if there is not quick communication between the mainland doctors/labs and the Hawaii Dept of Health, and then to the public?

Keep your low fat pigs to yourself. I'll take the plump ones.

Wow, the Fighting Micks finally wins one!

Umstead.......wrong

Conservative support was up 15%, it was Labour Support that rose nearly ⅓. There was a huge swing away from the peripheral parties towards the main two, so the problem wasn't the split in voting; In previous elections going back 40 years, Labour's share of the vote would have given them number 10. She had a huge majority, ran a "Presidential" style campaign (Like Kinnock when he lost to John Major) and she lost seats. Dead woman walking.

As silly as this example is, it is a perfect illustration of a simple premise. Businesses and consumers should be free to transact without any interference from governments or legislators. Freedom is key and it always has been. Government intervention like this leads to dead weight loss and it is ultimately responsible for people starving. The only role of government should be to protect basic human rights, own/manage shared resources/infrastructure and redistribute income to individuals (not businesses) that are in need, so long as motivation to get off that assistance remains.

But Russia didn't meddle in the elections. It's a FACT! And we know that because Trump said he asked Putin, and Trump said that Putin said there was no meddling.

1) Soros (and others) have business-related funding ties involving Jared (2015) per the reports. 2) ACORN (finally) shut down 7 years ago. (March 2010) 3) Most people equate the name George Soros with ACORN. 4) He is also a major funder with other political 'activist' groups, primarily supporting registered Democrats. --- Allowing any Presidents family (even by marriage) to work in high positions in the White House is a very bad plan I think. But that is my opinion only. It is my opinion this investigation is sorely needed, and I am very glad it is under way.

Lescaine What are you talking about.

You see, the adults at the table know that you don't needlessly anger one of your most valuable trade partners, especially when they could sink your economy on a whim.

Priebus has been ineffective as chief of staff on several levels and given the legislative loss on health care repeal his resignation is no surprise.

And why not? Canada's military is not accountable for the actions of various police forces. And the subsequent lack of accountability.

Of course the Qwack American Medical Association an their 84 vaccinations for healthy babies won't have a clue as to why kids are so unhealthy.

Deficits accumulate to the national debt. Servicing that debt doesn't cost much in the current record low interest environment but just wait till the inevitable reversal happen with global interest rates.

Not knowing how long you have lived in Oregon, either a sales tax and no property tax or continue as is. I still say no to sales tax.

John-do you go through these posts and automatically 'disagree' with every one of mine without even reading it? It's really quite humorous.

Excellent acting at SNL. Very deep analyzing. The grime reaper is very adept at knowing the "Canadian Bacon" movie. Start a war, or long for a likewise disaster, then those in control will receive higher ratings from the masses and the masses will succumb to all sorts of restrictions, by the ones in control. Intensely deep SNL.

Purg makes a good point. But this solution may be more problematic than the status quo. Logistically it could get complicated for churches to pay taxes. I once read a long, compelling argument about this, though unfortunately I can't remember where.

"other things"? Like sophomoric tweeting, marital infidelity, crassness, narcissism, bullying, bankruptcy, lying, and various and sundry other bulshet?

Gossip could certainly break the 9th Commandment against bearing false witness - and certainly, even if NOT false, is surely a cruel, sinful thing to do. However - are you blaming priests for possible "gossip" concerning something told in Confession? For that is the impression you are giving.....

Because terrorism didn't exist before January20, 2009? Where is your head?

A tax on sales is a sales tax, just like a tax on income is an income tax and a tax on gas is a gas tax. Maybe we should call a GRT a revenue tax. But to say there is no distinction doesn't make sense.

Not with a living, breathing example of crude ineptitude now about to sit in the White House. All the opposition has to do is point south and ask "Is that what you want?"

I'm perfectly aware of that. But, as many other players, Sharapova received a suspension, and she served it. If her punishment was supposed to be eternal, so would have been the suspension. But the suspension is over, and she is back as any other player is. We do agree, though, that Bouchard should talk less and play tennis more.

Please share with us SPECIFICALLY what the PM is going a good job about! He promised to do better than PM Harper but he is doing substantially worse in terms of net full time jobs created, deficit spending, trade and trade surpluses, etc. He has fouled up almost every one of the big promises that helped elect him such as electoral reform and refugee resettlement and health care funding and first nations funding, etc. He has made an international fool of himself with his over the top praise of former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and has made himself a laughing stock in the House with all opposition parties laughing uproariously at his embarrassing appearances in the House (which is why he prefers to avoid the Commons whenever possible). His cabinet is a joke which is why he is going to have to make a cabinet shuffle. What - SPECIFICALLY - is it that somehow prompts you to claim that The Boy Blunder is doing a good job? P.S. Are you Chris or Cassie from Ottawa?

Try Justice Depart as a prosecutor or as a Washington law firm attorney where no politician can fire him. Must be a job where he can have lots of family time. Wonder if he still collects retirement pay from his old job working for AG John Ashcroft and as head of the FBI? He probably doesn't need to work but needs something to do besides sitting around the house watching TV or raking leaves and picking weeds. Look for a easy job with less trouble. Like humanitarian work. Remember to choose well. He now carries some heavy luggage like a bucket of hot lead.

do u even know how dangerous it is to "snitch" on anybody in a gang? i'm surprised this girl is still alive

what a Moe-ron

You are entitled to your opinion most certainly. Reading this however "Recall that Kushner's dad was just released from prison...'Birds of a feather'" is "Guilty By Association" in my book. No where have I ever read that Jared was also implicated re his father's crimes.

Great choice- and a chance for everyone to learn about our civil rights fighters. Well done.

I'm sorry you're so unhappy here. Maybe you should petition Monaco or Lichtenstein to extend citizenship so you could move there.

That could be held true of both genders Jim. How about the sperm donor for all those pregnancy's that were unwanted. Can men claim they don't know what a condom is, let alone not have sex with a woman without taking responsibility for the possible consequences. Women's move to the workplace was great for some and certainly the correct thing to offer. It was carried so far as to denigrate the choices of women that wanted to be the 'no wage' spouse. Women also gave a little back in terms of protected stats as mother and the joys of raising children into functional happy adults. (Yes, some can afford great day care and the kids are fine for the most part) This led to not only a small glut of talented women, at lower entry pay, but the expectation that, 'two incomes were needed for a middle class life.' It made family life more disjointed than past generation. Our culture would healthier with one working spouse earning a family wage and full benefits. Next: part time jobs

It was more or less correct for July 2017. Aug is looking a bit wetter than July but Sep and Oct are looking very dry. This disaster is happening now. Not maybe.

Yeah, because just the wealthy pay all these other taxes as part of Obamacare, one of the largest tax hikes in history: Individual Mandate Excise Tax and Employer Mandate Tax Tax on Health Insurers Excise Tax on Comprehensive Health Insurance Plans "Cadillac Tax" Tax on Innovator Drug Companies Tax on Medical Device Manufacturers High Medical Bills Tax Flexible Spending Account Cap – aka “Special Needs Kids Tax” Medicine Cabinet Tax Tax on Indoor Tanning Services HSA Withdrawal Tax Hike Blue Cross/Blue Shield Tax Hike Excise Tax on Charitable Hospitals Employer Reporting of Insurance on W-2

No. Trump. Is. Not. Trump is president of the United States. There is a difference, unless oldstonebuddha is an active member of the military. As distrustful of government as you are, I think you'd appreciate that. Or, ... Are all Democratic presidents to be ignored, while all Republican presidents are to be instantly obeyed?

How many time must we say that this government deserves jail sentences. Time and again they flaunt the law, and somehow get away with it. How foolish can Ontario voters be?

Ah yes but are you being asked for $1500 to lobby the Liberal government...I think not.

I know the litany of ecological ills that have befallen the planet, you don't have to list them all. The fact that these people voluntarily cleaned up trash left behind by other explorers and travelers in many parts of the world already moves them past the vast majority of arm-chair environmentalists who think the world can be saved by pointing and shaming.

Mike, i respectfully disagree a bit in that democrats can take the high road of siding with nature, with curbing run-a-way resource-consumption and taking up the cause of renewable energy resource usage. In that sense, i think Democrats are in a position to deal with President Trump. It's morally urgent and compelling, and it's universally the 'religious' thing to do for churches of all stripes and religions of all persuasions to support the urgent morality of securing natural resources.

There is a difference between selling a cake and putting your personal stamp on it. I am usually quite liberal (very much pro-Gay marriage) but I have to side with the baker on this one. He wasn't refusing service, he was asked to put his personal stamp on something he didn't agree with. There is a difference between complying with the law and agreeing with or approving of the law. Forcing the guy to make the cake is forcing him to betray his beliefs, whether you think he's right or not. If you just walk into the shop and pick a cake off the shelf, he has to sell it to you, but when you ask him to make a cake specifically for your event, that's a different story. He has the right to do or not to do that. I think that people in the USA should be proud to live in a country where you can disagree with the law openly. If people don't like his beliefs they can vote with their wallets.

Most people of your views are over on the RCMP immigration questionaire article. They are far too busy over there spuing their hatred to help you defend the Trumptser here.

What if an American wants to show support for Israel azzwype???

The whole point of fund raisers, lobbying, ... the rubber chicken circuit ... is to INFLUENCE ! It may be as simple as creating awareness of a concern to manipulating government policy behind the scenery of our democratic theatre. And one may ask: " How is anything going to get done otherwise ?" This whole holier than thou kerfuffle reminds me of the Victorian era attitude towards sex ..... Nobody did it of course - but somehow the population kept increasing .-) It might be far better to bring such inputs into the open ...

A general entry for the CIA in Wikipedia.......geez. Now you've passed Weak and are approaching Pathetic.

Once again, a teacher who is poking his nose into personal family business. There are others of his profession who think it their concern as to what children bring to school for lunch. Not enough that these people be skilled enough to do the job they are hired for. Is there no end to their arrogance.

Nope. Paul just did not write what Paul did not write and the experts, even in our church, agree he didn't.

Motley, there is substance to the concern that false charges will destroy a person's life. There is also substance to the concern for safety of teenagers at school. Wisdom is the ability to address the substance of multiple concerns to achieve an optimum solution. In this case, the problem is the media. The police and others could do their jobs without disclosing all the allegations to the media which of course blasts the allegations to everyone. Likely the media will not even report on the topic if it turns out that the accused had no firearm. Might have beens have no place in judgment of an individual. Of course, he could be dangerous. Texting does not constitute a meaningful crime. As a teenager, he acts out. Like those teenagers who joined the military to rebel (as you discuss elsewhere). It is important to address threats to the safety of innocents, but it is also important to restrict consideration to real threats rather than might have beens or coulda beens.

How much is this going to cost taxpayers?

If OJ were white, he'd be on death row, where he belongs.

I'll agree that for many atheists, atheism isn't a religion. However, there are quite a few atheists who do seem to treat atheism as a religion - and treat everyone who disagrees as heretics. I think it's understandable that many consider atheism as a religion when there are self-appointed priests telling atheists what they should believe, and proselytizing atheism for all they are worth. Of course, they reject that terminology, but that doesn't make it less accurate.

Abused the trust given by Justin supporters. Its in plain sight.

And she gave them $1million for pizza and expenses as I recall.

And Patrick G will be one of the bleeding hearts wailing to the immigration board.

" 6,671 patients in Canada listed as “alternate level of care,” or no place at a long-term care bed " 800 million (not billion) dollars would build enough beds for all these seniors, beds that would provide benefits for the next 50 years+ That would be an infrastructure program all Canadians would support

That's just plain stupid.

Only half the "workers" in the oil and gas industry in Alaska are residents. The vast majority in the commercial fishing industry are non-residents. There already are plenty of budget cuts. Let's do what "responsible" hard working states do and pass an income tax.

There also Canadians who are buying additional properties on speculation. It is hard to justify a position that they should not be treated the same as off-shore speculators.

The House of Representatives is going to be Republican for at least the next two years. The Senate may be. A Hillary Clinton proposal is dead in the water unless it has been approved by Goldman Sachs and friends. In that event, the bought and sold Congressmen and Senators will ensure its passage. For Trump, the tea leaves and Ouija boards are much fuzzier.

Is anyone surprised to find that MSM protects misogynists??

I believe the problem Trump is creating is covered in the "enemies of the US Constitution, domestic variety" section of the oath members of the military take. Will be interesting to see whether the Republican party rebels to defend the Constitution or rides the Drumpf train all the way to Nuremburg.

OutThere: you're right of course.......however, that all files under "woulda, coulda, shoulda" and, unfortunately, with "public" decisions, that's a really big file. The real question remains "What now?" Throw another 30 million after that 5.7? "Run the numbers on the EWEB site and look at what that downtown block would bring on the market? Try to find some alternative to build downtown w/o the huge cost? Who knows? Where's "The Shadow" when you need him? That's a "trivia" remark for most and a nostalgia comment for us geezers. Regards, Gary

What's more stereotypical than the husband with a wandering eye? The difference in the decade you're looking back on involved women who believed in keeping their legs closed and staying faithful to their husbands. I don't know of many men who were happy to be drafted to go die in Viet Nam. Men don't grow up; they are merely repressed. Trump is a guy's guy: hugely successful with a hot wife on his arm, great kids, enormous power, and he cowers to no one and no thing. He's awesome, and I think it's hilarious how so many people find him offensive, especially kids whose mouths and drinking/sex behaviors rival those of the military guys you so admire.

Trump has had his own News outlet for years....where have you been..."Breitbart"

Mr. McCarthy fails to mention Klamath EQIP in the 2005 Farm Bill. That included $50 million to Klamath Basin irrigators to improve irrigation efficiency in order to make more water available for salmon and refuges. Much of the money was used to exploit groundwater; there was no benefit to flows and the refuges continue to be dewatered. But McCarthy is misinformed about the Klamath Irrigation Project's power subsidy. He claims that "A decade ago, WaterWatch, Oregon Wild and our allies in the commercial salmon fishing industry helped overturn this exclusive subsidy and normalized pumping costs to encourage water conservation in the Klamath Basin." The low power costs were actually the result of a long-term contract which PacifiCorp inherited when it purchased the Klamath Hydroelectric Project. When the contract's term was up, PacifiCorp declined to renew it and pumping costs went up. It is not a good sign when a spokesman for Water Watch misrepresents the facts.

If you take the original meaning of "dumb", you'll agree that Trump is quite the opposite. Let's just stick to "foolish".

We actually live in the safest period of human history. Fear is irrational in this context and the people who give in to it are, shall we say, not of the most introspective or critical thinking types. Just look at the so-called leader of the free world who's stirring the pot while acknowledging his love of uneducated people. THAT'S the real problem. We should be working at reducing barriers everywhere, instead of building monumentally stupid and ineffective walls, designed to address non-existant threats.

Sharks fan here. I'm hoping it works out well for both clubs. Marleau has remained in exceptional shape as he's aged, doesn't seem to have lost any speed, and still scored 27 goals for an offensively challenged team last year. He will receive a tremendous reception when the Leafs visit SJ in October.

A pretty good editorial except its missing that regular people are increasingly aware by there interactions with govt that we do need to "Stop the Gravy Train/Drain the Swamp". The election of Ford and Trump prove the popularity of that sentiment. Politicians who tap into that sentiment are going to win. The question now is getting a leader who can execute and start that change. The bureaucracy and politicians are not representing the common person, they representing different minority groups that shout the loudest and play the grievance game the best, and then they throw unaccountable money at the issue , solving nothing but creating another bureaucracy etc..- All the while the Politicans and Bureaucrats maintain their defined benefit pensions and work rules which are 100x better then those who they represent in the private sector.

you know: if i were ignorant and repressed i would just turn your comment around and aim it back at you. (easy as pie to do) luckily, this is still America. i am not required to ''keep my mouth shut.''' (question: from which gospel did you learn that childhood, nasty mother/father phrase ??? anyway good luck to you……..stay safe.

Life saving medical technology, it works.

Are you prepared to host ten of them in your own home at your expense?

You know this is a strange ongoing issue with Oregon leaders...they want a full service campus in central Oregon yet don't want to pay for that service. Of course there are many reasons why this system is broken; one is the morphing of the structure of higher education in Oregon. The rational system would a University of Oregon and a State University system. Each would have their leaders a provost and their charges. OS Universities serving the state through regional units and university extension. U of O combining the Eugene and OHSU campuses. Look north or south and we have see leadership and strong distinctions and control. In this way Cascades, Eastern, Southern and Western would be an articulate vision meeting regional and statewide needs...PSU could argue with this but they should have been part of either group a long time ago. So instead we have a weak, competitive system without leadership. It's sad that the leaders in Salem were given thus excuse due to the vacuum of vision.

"The more important question at this point is, does the President have any semblance of credibility left?" And the answer is no. Trump does not have any semblance of credibility left. Look to see more and more people deserting him in the near future, like rats fleeing a sinking ship.

Rik No one has a right to have fluoride-free drinking water piped into their homes. No one has a right to personally dictate the contents of a public water supply. What we do have is a right to decline to consume any water we desire not to consume. When the max. dose of a substance one can ingest falls below the threshold of adversity, dose is of no concern in regard to adverse effects. Before the threshold of adverse effects of fluoride could be attained from optimally fluoridated water in addition to all other normal sources of fluoride intake, water toxicity would be the concern, not fluoride. This is true not only for fluoride, but for chlorine, ammonia, and all other routine additives to public water. Testerone does not already exist in water as does fluoride. It is irrelevant to water fluoridation. No one pays me anything to correct the nonsense posted by you and other such uninformed activists. How much does FAN pay you to post your absurdities?

What about the naked adult men walking the the streets at 2:00 in the afternoon where families have come out to support LBGTQ issues? Doesn't anyone find that offensive? I do. That is repugnant!!

I think Richond City Counsel had better set aside a few tax dollars to pay for the lawyers they'll need when all of this goes to court as its going to be an expensive can of worms if it ends up in the Supreme Court of Canada. This nonsense is about as crazy as it gets which brings me to wonder if Russia has any influence on what goes on in Richmond, B.C. ? BC Civil Liberties, where art thou ?

probably planted by a weeping Hillary lover, in an attempt to show one last time just how evil white people are. All you people yakking about this crap are swamp rats. America told you what we thought of you, now go. No? Didn't think you would, those fat, fat paychecks from the taxpayers are soo addicting. You vermin are all going to have to be drug out of your rat holes one by one. Fine with me. To your pitchforks, men!

Great grandfather Lazarus, you know you're not supposed to be on the computer this late! The Folks at the Pioneer Home aren't going to be too happy with you buster.

By calling our reps and holding them accountable for what they do, by voting, by protesting, by exposing his corruption, by doing anything necessary to protect our rights and our democracy. And if you think commenting here is pointless, why don't you stop?

The provinces had the ten years of 6% escalation in federal funds that Paul Martin set up in order to recompense them for having to cut transfers while eliminating the deficit. Harper apparently then extended it by a year or two. When Martin initially set up the 6% deal, he tried to get evidence from the Provinces that they did in fact spend the extra funds on healthcare, something that they refused to do and there are in fact stories that they used some of those funds for non healthcare related matters. The offer from the Trudeau government of extra funds for mental health and home care with accountability shown of where the funds are spent was similarly rejected by those provinces who are now pressing for a meeting but accepted by those who have reached deals separately. 6% isn't coming back any time soon, especially when Trudeau and Morneau are already under political pressure on deficits. The provinces have to act further to control their own health care costs.

WHEN Siemian tears up Green Bay tomorrow night, theres a lot of folks on this site that will owe him a BIG apology. Look, this is McCoy. King of the spread offense. Leary and Watson are monster run blockers. Its why Leary is on the right side. Its why we installed a run blocker at RT. Its why we drafted a shifty back and two slot receivers, all who run a 4.4 forty. Were gonna screen the hell out of the opponents we face. All McCoy needed was a smart accurate quarterback. In this system, with his intellect, and the new acquisitions on offense, Siemian will be a top ten QB this season. Easily. By seasons end, barring any apocalyptic injuries, denver will have a top ten offense, and a top three defense. Even with the hardest Strength of Schedule for this season in the NFL. Were stacked on offense, defense, and now even special team returners. All bodes well for offensive production. Im sure we will all talk again after the Packers game. Go Broncos.

Disagree. The supply is there. What is impacting affordability is that there is too much speculation. Currently the money to be made in real estate has nothing to do with actually housing people. It's a game for those with the money to place their bets on how much higher the market can be driven. Most new housing is held by buyers for one year or less and being flipped multiple times before actually being used as housing. Unless the federal and provincial govts do something about domestic and foreign money laundering and tax avoidance, more land for building won't make any difference.

I'm tired of these Royal arse lickers in Canada - Brexit, Trump this is all about removing the house of windsor form international affairs and all the little wannabes in Canada and the States who are upset they no longer hold power . Deal with it!

Canada would never buy military aircraft from Russia or China....

I take it, then, that you are not a Catholic?

AKRR tried to bring commuter service to the city 14 years ago, spending millions on a single weld upgrade to the track between Anchorage and the valley that would have smoothed out and sped up traffic between the two. The breakdown happened here in downtown, when the city couldn't agree on necessary changes to the depot which were required to facilitate the added foot traffic, as well as suplimentary bus service to and from the depot to support those commuters getting to the rest of the city. They had the money and the plans all drawn up, but the Begich administration played the same BS games that Berky is now playing. If you're going to lay blame, please do so where it is due.

Sen. Will Espero is dead wrong in attempting to coerce Commissioner Luella Costales. The issue is NOT former Chief Kealoha's $250,000 severance package. The issue, plain and simple, is coercion, intimidation. Kudos to Commission Chairman Max Sword for making this public. Concerns about Sword and Beth Chapman are irrelevant. That's a totally different issue.
