I live in NYC. I work for Vimeo. I like to cook. My wife likes sprinkles. I have a new(ish) daughter. Her name is Chloe. We don't know if she likes sprinkles yet.

Statement of Mayors Against Illegal Guns on Newtown, Connecticut Shooting
“With all the carnage from gun violence in our country, it’s still almost impossible to believe that a mass shooting in a kindergarten class could happen. It has come to that. Not even kindergarteners learning their A,B,Cs are safe. We heard after Columbine that it was too soon to talk about gun laws. We heard it after Virginia Tech. After Tucson and Aurora and Oak Creek. And now we are hearing it again. For every day we wait, 34 more people are murdered with guns. Today, many of them were five-year olds. President Obama rightly sent his heartfelt condolences to the families in Newtown. But the country needs him to send a bill to Congress to fix this problem. Calling for ‘meaningful action’ is not enough. We need immediate action. We have heard all the rhetoric before. What we have not seen is leadership – not from the White House and not from Congress. That must end today. This is a national tragedy and it demands a national response. My deepest sympathies are with the families of all those affected, and my determination to stop this madness is stronger than ever.
-Mayor Bloomberg

The incident points “to some truths about guns in America: they escalate situations, whether workplace disputes or an angry man lashing out; they can be highly indiscriminate in the damage they do; and they are everywhere. We need to talk more about why.” Click-through to read Amy Davidson on guns and the shooting at the Empire State Building: http://nyr.kr/RJB9zb

This sarcasm, up to the minute type of advertising rocks. I would contact Manhattan Mini Storage.
