Monthly Camping Site In/Near NY

brynnwood — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 17:59:30 -0800

Where can I camp for several weeks at a time in the northeastern U.S. (in and around NY state)? I wanting a quiet spot that is set up to handle longterm campers? Also wondering whether there is a good guide to US campsites (ratings, etc.)?

Cheap calls please

UK Mobile phone monthly contract recommendations? My current contract with T-Mobile is up next month, and it's costing me way too much.

I need roughly 3 hours and 300 texts a month, but I also need to be able to make short calls and send texts to abroad relatively frequently.

I also travel to Europe and North America around three or four times a year, so ideally roaming would be somehow included or cheap.

Currently I'm also charged for calling Voicemail, so if that would be included, great.

I pay around £45 a month at the moment, but bills have gone up to £70 with roaming. I'd ideally like to reduce my payments.

So, on the basis of that, what can you recommend? I stopped into the Carphone Warehouse, and the guy basically said O2 was pretty good, but didn't really develop anything beyond that.

How to find the cheapest phone service for someone who seems to be paying too much...

What phone service would be best for me? All I use my Verizon Wireless account for is the phone itself: calling and messaging people. But I think I'm paying far too much. I live in NYC. Suggestions? (description of bill here) Check this to see my regular charges. The total bill for that month was about eighty seven bucks. I'm on the 450 minute plan from Verizon, and it just seems like $87 is too much (if you're only getting phone service). Thanks,

Nick

Mmmmm...monthly potato chips

Comestible of the month club? On a lark, I had our company signed up for Anchor O'Reilly's Chip of the Month, which turned out to be very popular here. We really did enjoy the novelty of a half dozen bags of unique potato chips showing up each month. CotM is going out of business and I'm looking for a nice way to fill that snacking void at a reasonable price.

I'm NOT looking for the results of "of the month club" search on Google.

I am looking for specific first-hand recommendations for or against similar services. I think we'd also be happier with savory over sweet.

Metafilter, "magazine" of the future!

If The Atlantic Monthly (or Harper's, or The New Yorker) were founded today, would it be Metafilter? I'm actually with The Atlantic , and I'm writing an article about the future of serious, high brow general interest magazines. IMO, Metafilter provides a good model for what's coming. But I want to hear what you think. I'm especially interested in hearing from people who work in journalism, and magazine journalism in particular. Editors, writers, people on the business side. If you'd like to respond (or talk to me) off the air, write me at "mpoe at theatlantic dot com." Thanks in advance.

fact or fiction: police officers monthly ticket quota?

Help me sort fact from fiction: do police officers in the US have a monthly quota or target (official or unofficial) for the number of tickets they need to issue?
