New York City for Christmas with CityPass

Going to visit New York is a must for anyone. It is one of the most fascinating cities on Earth, if not the most fascinating. If you know someone who is on their way in the next few months there is a unique, and affordable gift that you can hook them up with. It is called the New York CityPass.

Each City Pass booklet has a ticket to The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the new Greek and Roman galleries, Museum of Modern Art, Guggenheim Museum and the American Museum of Natural History. Plus, a trip to the top of the Empire State Building Observatory and tour of the Manhattan skyline from the water aboard a Circle Line Sightseeing Cruise, along with a map, public transportation information and insider tips on the best time to visit each attraction.

The total cost of all the tickets is cut by 50% in the pass so you are saving money as well and sending your friends or family to some of the greatest sites in New York. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has to be one of the great sites in the world and I would love to get a chance to go. I would consider it a must for anyone going to New York to visit.

CityPass saves time by allowing visitors to skip most main entrance ticket lines and it saves money, because New York CityPass is sold at 50% off the combined admission price. A New York CityPass is $65 for adults (compared to $130 price if the tickets were purchased separately), and $49 for youths 12-17 (a value of $89.50.)

‘Dog’ thought he was ‘cool enough’ to use slur

lol...what an idiot. HE know has figured out that he isn't black at all. Amazingly, until he actually got in trouble for slinging racial slurs, he thought he was black, while everyone that looks at him can clearly see he is white.

“I thought that I was cool enough in the black world to be able to use that word as a brother to a brother,” he said. “I’m not. I didn’t know really know until three or four days ago what that meant to black people.”

“I now learned I’m not black at all,” Chapman said. “And I never did it out of hate.”

While I am not against anyone slinging any racial slur they want, this guy should have realized that in his position he wasn't able to do it. I still find the entire thing silly. This was a private phone call that ended up a public one. People are just not going to deal with a guy like that anymore. It's just the way things are. I imagine if I were to start throwing racial slangs around on here there would be plenty of people that would have something to say about it. Of course I wouldn't care either way as they have the right to do so as I would have the right to say what I want.

24 Season Cancelled Due to Strike

The Writers, television execs, etc. are screwing you all it appears. '24" is now done for the year says Fox. Why this is still going on is beyond me really.

The seventh season of the hit real-time series was scheduled to begin in January, but producers had completed only about one-third of its 24-episode order as of last week.

"24" started production late, and was affected by the recent wildfires. The show's star, Kiefer Sutherland, is also scheduled to do a stint in jail later this year in connection with a drunk-driving conviction.

Create Holiday Cards Online

Many people like to create their own unique holiday cards rather than going out and buying them all individually. You may want to find a place that allows you to put them together online, and make it much easier on yourself than going into some sort of printing shop and having to sit there waiting for service. I would too.

vistprint.com allows you to go online and create cards in minutes. After a few days you will receive them all and they are ready to go. No fuss, and they have a ton of designs to work with. If you traditionally send out a lot of Christmas postcards this is definitely a good place to check out. You can get access to create yourself instead of watching someone else show you a bunch of designs and then you have to pick one. Instead you get to go through them all on your own and pick yourself. Then get them delivered in just a few days.
