All of these crimes, including the people who lied, regardless of side, are wrong.
But even many staunch supporters of Trump said that they didn't always like what he said, but they liked that he was an outsider and not a politician. I can respect that. It's the subset of supporters, who I like to believe don't represent the majority of his followers, that now are latching onto the hateful aspects of his platform and taking it as carte blanche to do these awful things against others. All I'm saying is that he needs to come out against this if he meant what he said about unifying the country.

Apparently Trump asked Obama and Clinton to speak out against the protests. I want to see Trump speak out against these terrible hate crimes happening, especially in schools/colleges. He said he would try to unify. He should use that power now.

The wonderful oratory skill we have to look forward to:
"Look, having nuclear?my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart?you know, if you?re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world?it?s true!?but when you're a conservative Republican they try?oh, do they do a number?that?s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune?you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we?re a little disadvantaged?but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me?it would have been so easy, and it?s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right?who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners?now it used to be three, now it?s four?but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven?t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it?s gonna take them about another 150 years?but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us."

Sexiness of First Ladies aside, Michelle Obama seemed to be a figure that all Americans, regardless of party, respected. Her passion to decrease childhood obesity contributed to that respect. I wonder what Melania's mission will be...

Has anyone voted at McNair today? They usually have 2 booths, and we as well have never waited more than 1-2 people deep for any election.

My husband and I wanted to see UR succeed. The quality/caliber of their food and service was great... on good days. And that was our issue: inconsistency.
A dinner there one week involved a hair in the appetizer and delayed cocktails... A dinner there months later was impeccable... A lunch there one week could involve several items missing from the menu and an unseasoned ramen... A lunch there mos later was wonderful (the cod fish and thai beef ramen were out of this world).... After several rounds of this inconsistency, we would just start forgetting it was there. One of us would remember but then go, "meh, but remember last time...." I felt they had the right ingredients, no pun intended, for success, but were missing the business/management side... that's the story for many places in JC.

Thanks, MDM.
I'm not sure why half the counties in NJ, including western and northern ones like Sussex and Hunterdon have hurricane weather statement alerts or watches but Hudson doesn't?

Well, what's funny (not ha ha) is that we got hurt much worse in our basement with Irene than Sandy. But, yes, as far as storms go, Sandy eclipsed Irene.

Yes, I know they also were the only ones who predicted consistently some storm/hurricane last year NOT hitting us when all other models were aligned at devastation for us. Joe stuck by his prediction and he/model were right. I should subscribe, thanks for sharing.

Depends on the age, infants tend to be more money. We are on the waitlist for our 1-year old at Brunswick School; looking at the cost of an "infant to 2.5-year old" from the chart they gave me, it's about 2K for a full day from 8-7. It's about 1800 for 8-4.

I wouldn't classify any restaurant in JC as healthy overall, honestly, but some have better options if you're into salads. I personally like all of the salads at White Star, the chicken/mint salad from Saigon, and the chicken schwarma from Gypsy Grill.

A friend flew out yesterday and was at security around 4 pm. She said the line went all the way up (down?) to the ticketing level and assumed it would be about 2 hours of wait. She has that TSA-pre status and I'm contemplating getting it.

No worries, I get confused on Twitter too and am no social media expert :)
Just create/post a new tweet. In the content of the tweet, put: #samsungsolve #samsungsolveps5 You need to have both, and you don't have to include anything else, just those two hashtags... I've been putting little "Go team" notes but that's optional :) If you then do a search for "#samsungsolveps5" you should see your tweet if you select "all tweets."

FWIW, there's a Kiddie Academy opening up near Enos Park (9th and Brunswick) in the new condo building. I can't speak to whether the chain is good or not, but at least there wouldn't be a wait list.

A team of five female 8th-graders from PS 5 has surpassed over 4000 teams to become one of 15 finalists in a competition sponsored by Samsung to illustrate how STEM can be applied to your local community.
This team of impressive young women, the Air Fresheners, explored the carbon emissions near PS5 and came up with tangible solutions for improving air quality around the school. Of the 15 remaining teams, 5 winning teams will each be awarded $120,000. Four of the winning teams will be selected based on a presentation they gave yesterday. But one of the winning teams will be based on social media votes on Twitter. Please take 10 seconds of your day and tweet using #samsungsolve and #samsungsolvePS5. You can vote 1X a day but you cannot re-tweet...only original tweets. To find out more: https://civicparent.org/2016/03/civic- ... ity-ps-5s-air-fresheners/ Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you can't appeal your zone.
Join JC Moms Meetup... There's a huge repository of options for kids/schooling of all ages. We are doing the JCPS pre-K program and think it's really good and perfect for a 3- and 4-year old.
