Downtown Categorization
IS wrong. Downtown areas: Downtown. NO... Downtown areas: CBD would be more accurate. Places like Corso Italia, Little Italy, or Greektown are not dwontwon either. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs) 13 Aug 2006
Stay Safe or Not
The stats are not specific to the victimization of tourists and the stats need some sourcing to check for accuracy and currency. If you're going to give any stat, it should be how many visitors per 100,000 are the victim of a crime, including vehicle theft, assault, robbery, murder, etc. Produce those figures for Toronto and the cities that you want to compare. For example, while NYC might have a higher homicide rate, the rate is not even across the entire city - the boroughs where the rate is high are not where tourists usually traverse unless they're intending to visit a high crime rate area. Also, if you're going to compare, how about comparing Canada to Germany - Canada's rate of murder is 3 times that of Germany. A fair comparison should indicate where Toronto is in relation to the lowest to the highest rates; by comparing only to the higher rates, you're giving a false impression. Also, don't compare to all the cities in the USA - do one major city from several different countries and perhaps compare Toronto to Montreal and the national rate.188.8.131.52 00:50, 26 May 2006 (EDT)
So you're comparing Toronto to the whole country of Germany? Berlin, a similar sized city in Germany, has a considerably higher homicide rate at 4.4 per 100,000.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs) 13 Aug 2006
Yes, I suck for changing "harbour" to "harbor". If someone has a better plan for spelling, please give it on Wikitravel talk:Manual of style. -- Evan 23:14, 7 Oct 2003 (PDT)
Yes, you suck. First, you can't change the name of a place, so Pearl Harbor is spelt that way no matter how silly it is, and Toronto Harbour is spelled *that* way no matter what you think. Second, do you really think Americans are going to be the main audience for wikitravel? Don't they have far more ways to find out what to see or visit? I'd rather suspect it would be those who don't speak much English desperately using web translator services and printing this page in a net cafe...
- I agree that proper names should use their local spelling ("Harbour Centre" shouldn't be changed to "Harbor Center"). But that doesn't mean that when they're used outside of the proper name ("at the center of the harbor is...") we shouldn't follow our guidelines.
- Do I think Americans are the main audience? No. But that's not why we use American spelling. We standardize on American spelling for consistency, and to avoid pointless edit wars. If you have a problem with the spelling policy, propose something different on Wikitravel:spelling.
- Do I think that Americans have other sources for travel information? Of course. People in every country, who speak every language, have travel resources at their disposal (some good, some not so good). But they're not free, they're not realtime, and they're just not as good as ours.-- can you direct
- I'd like to think that eventually we'll have different guides in different languages, so that people who only speak Navajo will still have quality travel information. --Evan 10:47, 19 Dec 2003 (PST)

Robbery Rates
"Toronto also ranks low, with 115.1 robberies per 100,00 people, compared to Dallas (583.7), Los Angeles (397.9), Montréal (193.9), New York City (490.6) and Washington, DC (670.6)."
Is this 115.1 per 10,000 or 100,000? per 100,000. However, only a Canadian, American, or someone from a crime plagued third world city would call that low and even find it "acceptable". Many European cities of similar size have robbery rates of 20 to 30 per 100,000 and they think of it as a huge problem! Same applies to murder rates and car theft which are a fraction of Canadian rates. But hey, as Canadians we tend to only compare ourselves to anyone we are "better" than, and ignore the rest.
Errr. Wrong. Our murder rates really are quite low for a city of our size ANYWHERE, although there are obviously places with lower crime yet. Our overall crime rate would be comparable to a moderate Western European rate. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs) 13 Aug 2006

If districts weren't counted against it, I think that this would be a guide. --Ravikiran 21:27, 12 March 2006 (EST)
- From a practical point of view, this is a terrible article. I'm in Toronto for the first time for a few hours tomorrow and I'm having trouble finding anything (a sight to visit or a restaurant to eat at) that sounds interesting — and I doubt this is the city's fault. Jpatokal 23:49, 23 April 2007 (EDT)
Airport hotels?
What district do hotels immediately around the airport (eg. this) belong in? Jpatokal 11:29, 25 April 2007 (EDT)
Hotels around the airport (Lester B. Pearson Airport... the main one, not the tiny island airport) are NOT in Toronto or any district of Toronto. They (and the main airport) are located in a city called Mississauga. Mississauga is just outside of Toronto (ten minute drive to downtown Toronto) with a population of over 650,000 people. - July 4, 2007
- Given that I've gone through the airport and slept at a hotel there without ever hearing the words "Mississauga", this legal hair-splitting doesn't seem very useful to travellers -- especially as Mississauga proper appears to be 30 min away by car from the airport. Jpatokal 23:23, 4 July 2007 (EDT)
- Let me make this simple for you. Pearson Airport is located in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area - THIS IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE ACTUAL CITY OF TORONTO). It is clear - to anybody who knows the area - that the airport is located in Mississauga, not Toronto. I will compare it to London, England - Stansted Airport is NOT located in London, it is in the Greater London Area, and therefore is usually referred to as a "London Airport". Mississauga can be as close as 10 minutes to downtown, although it is very rare that with city traffic, you will make it in 10 minutes.
- Aeroport is situated on the Mississauga side of the border between City of Toronto and City of Mississauga. Some hotels are on the Mississauga side, but most are actually in the City of Toronto (Etobicoke, clustered around Dixon and Highway 27 intersection). RJ CG 16:25, 28 February 2008 (EST)
Hostels GLOBAL VILLAGE BACKPACKERS
Hi i thinking about staying at the GLOBAL VILLAGE BACKPACKERS TORONTO prior to my semester in Ryerson. I really dont know if it is a great hostel or what... any comment?
Add external links?
Should we add external links to Toronto travel and tourism websites, especially the official one, TorontoTourism.com?
- Only the official link is permissible per Wikitravel:External links, and that should come right after the word "Toronto" at the top of the article, thanks ;) --Peter Talk 16:47, 28 June 2008 (EDT)
- You should note, you should only have one external link, just incase you didn't know :)! Edmontonenthusiast 14:00, 24 October 2008 (EDT)
Why is there no recognition or mention of Torontos huge and thriving gay village and club scene.
Confusing geographies
The geographies Central Toronto, North Toronto, East Toronto, West Toronto, etc. don't make sense since locals don't use these neighbourhood/district names. You're more likely to hear Downtown, the West End, the East End, and Midtown (for North Toronto).
- Just because the locals are wrong doesn't mean this has2 b. In Edmonton, Oliver is considered apart of Downtown which is a common mistake. It is it's own neighbourhood. Also in Edmonton, you'd call the Southwest district, the south side, but that is just a generalisation. Also, on WT, we make the districts to suit the TRAVELLER not the CITIZEN. Keep smiling, edmontonenthusiast [ee] .T.A.L.K. 14:09, 17 November 2008 (EST).
"Just because the locals are wrong" seems like a silly thing to say. Any traveler attempting to use those terms in the city would just get a blank stare if asking a local for directions. Doesn't that undermine the whole 'usability' argument?
- Are you suggesting changing the names, or moving the districts. In either case, propose what you have in mind, see what other people have to say, and proceed along with the consensus. Sure, the traveller comes first, but the local names often align with what the traveller needs - directions, other guides, referencability etc.. --Inas 20:47, 10 February 2009 (EST)
- "Because the locals are wrong" -- totally boneheaded comment. The geographical description of the City as presented here drives me nuts, and has no basis in either politics, geography or culture either historical or current. "West Toronto" does not exist in our local lexicon. The article draws a boundary at Dupont, when everyone here knows that the major north/south boundary is Bloor. This article has inspired me to get an account and dive in here, Toronto's a fantastic place to live (as I do) and visit (as millions per year do).
- I agree one hundred percent with the above comment. The long, long, long rambling descriptions of the city into four random areas (without any paragraphs!) is useless. You can't read it and you can't use it. It has absolutely no bearing whatsoever in reality. It's like claiming that midtown Manhattan begins at 100th street because there are about 200 streets, or calling Shinjuku in Tokyo by the name West Tokyo instead. 220.127.116.11 13:12, 25 May 2009 (EDT)
- Would you be interested in proposing something different? See Wikitravel:Geographical hierarchy#Districts in cities if interested. You could also take a look at other huge cities with proper district divisions, like San Francisco, for example, for inspiration. --Peter Talk 15:42, 25 May 2009 (EDT)
- Why not just use the names we use for neighbourhoods and divide them up accordingly? Smaller neighbourhoods can be grouped under big names. For example, Queen West, the Financial District and Kensington Market would be part of Downtown. The Beaches (or The Beach, whichever you prefer), The Danforth and Leslieville would go under East End, and so on.
I agree that the geographies don't make sense, and if a traveller were to mention these districts to a local, they would probably get a lot of blank stares. I propose that we set up the districts as such:
Downtown - roughly bounded by Bloor Street/Dupont Street in the north, Bathurst Street to the west, the Don Valley Parkway to the east and the lake to the south. This area would include the following neighbourhoods: The Annex, Kensington Market, Chinatown, the Entertainment District, Yorkville, the Financial District, St. Lawrence Market, Church and Wellesley, Cabbagetown, the Distillery District and any other neighbourhoods that fall within this geography.
Midtown - roughly bounded by Bloor Street/Dupont Street in the south, Bathurst Street to the west, Bayview Avenue to the east and Lawrence Avenue to the north. This area would include Rosedale, Yonge and Eglinton, Lawrence Park, Forest Hill and any other neighbourhoods that fall within this geography.
West End - roughly bounded by Bathurst Street to the east, the lake to the south, St. Clair Avenue to the north and Jane Street to the west. This area would include Koreatown, Little Italy, Little Portugal, West Queen West, Parkdale, Roncesvalles Village, the Junction, Corso Italia, High Park, Swansea, Bloor West Village and any other neighbourhoods that fall within this geography.
East End - roughly bounded by the DVP to the west, Mortimer Avenue to the north, Victoria Park Avenue to the east and the lake to the south. This area would include the Danforth, Riverdale, Leslieville, Little India, the Beach/Beaches, and any other neighbourhoods that fall within this geography.
Then, we could add separate district articles for Etobicoke, York, East York, North York and Scarborough since locals still use the old municipality names even if they don't technically exist anymore.
I think most locals would agree with these geographies. What do you all think? 22.214.171.124 01:20, 14 September 2009 (EDT)
- That sounds like an excellent, small number of districts to start with (I can't comment beyond that, since my knowledge of the city is shallow). I'd be happy to draw up a draft map based on these proposed boundaries, and should be able to finish that sometime this week. --Peter Talk 02:40, 14 September 2009 (EDT)
- Thanks, Peter! Any mapping help you could provide would be most appreciated! I also think a visual representation should help to illustrate the idea a little better. BTW, I love your maps. Darkcore 14:39, 14 September 2009 (EDT)
- Maybe we could merge East York into the East End and York into Etobicoke, since both East York and York are pretty small geographically, and have little to offer the average tourist. Plus, you'd be hard-pressed to find a Torontonian who knows where, say, Etobicoke ends and York begins, or where "old" Toronto ends and East York begins. Darkcore 14:59, 14 September 2009 (EDT)
Using the Chicago article as a guide, I've come up with a revised "district" section. I think the article should move away from talk of amalgamated municipalities; your average tourist is not going to know or care about this, and it's my sense anyway that locals are caring less and less about it too as time goes on (it has been 11 years after all). People still identify with their "old" municipality but in name only. In any case, comments and suggestions are welcome. Darkcore 16:13, 14 September 2009 (EDT)
Downtown (Queen West, Harbourfront, Chinatown, Church and Wellesley, The Annex) The city's economic and cultural heart, and where most of the city's popular tourist destinations are located |
Midtown (Forest Hill, Rosedale, Yonge and Eglinton) Upscale neighbourhoods with grand old mansions housing the city's moneyed and elite, beautiful parks and ravines that extend for kilometres |
West End (Little Italy, West Queen West, Parkdale, The Junction) Ethnic enclaves, dive bars, and hipsters abound in this rapidly gentrifying part of town |
East End (Riverdale, The Danforth, Leslieville, The Beach) The West End's quainter, quieter alternative, with low-key neighbourhoods and nice beaches |
Etobicoke An economically diverse suburb with some undiscovered gems along Bloor Street and near the lake |
North York Pretty far off the beaten track, this district is largely suburban but has something to offer the casual tourist including the largest urban park in Canada, not to mention the best bagels in the city |
Scarborough This much-maligned eastern suburb of the city has lots to offer, including the Scarborough Bluffs, authentic (and affordable) ethnic cuisine and the Toronto Zoo |
- Two things: 1) flatten the hierarchy & 2) don't create too many districts too quickly:
- We should not have a two-layered hierarchy of districts—none of the districts should overlap in any way. So if Chinatown is part of Downtown, we should not have both a Chinatown and a Downtown article. The Annex, Harbourfront, and Chinatown all have reasonably well developed articles, so I'd say it does make sense to have Downtown broken up at this stage. Could you suggest street boundaries for the five you are proposing?
- For Midtown, West End, and East End, I don't know that we should break them up into pieces just yet. Rosedale can be merged back into Midtown, Leslieville and The Beach into a new East End article, and possibly Little Italy, WQW, and Parkdale into a new West End article. We could then separate those articles back out as we get more content (unless you are interested in plunging forward and writing them now...). The main point is that it won't be useful to create 19 nearly empty articles right off the bat, even if we plan to eventually have them. --Peter Talk 18:36, 14 September 2009 (EDT)
- Downtown can be subdivided into many different neighbourhoods. Neighbourhoods in Toronto (especially Downtown) tend to be relatively small, only a few blocks or so, and combining them could be problematic. For example, I could see combining Chinatown and Kensington Market into one article because of their geographic proximity, but I wouldn't want to do that because they are very distinct and deserve their own unique articles. Anyway, I agree with your reasoning for Midtown, and the West and East Ends. As for Downtown, here are the neighbourhoods that I know (boundaries are, of course, very rough):
- Kensington Market - Bathurst to the west, College to the north, Spadina to the east, Dundas to the south
- Chinatown - Spadina to the west, College to the north, University to the east, Queen to the south
- The Annex/University of Toronto - Bathurst to the west, Dupont to the north, Avenue Road to the east, College to the south
- Yorkville - Davenport to the north, Avenue Road to the west, Yonge to the east, Charles/Bloor to the south
- Queen West/Entertainment District - University to the east, Queen to the north, Spadina to the west, Front to the south
- Financial District - University to the west, Dundas to the north, Yonge to the east, Front to the south
- St. Lawrence, Corktown and the Distillery District (three different neighbourhoods that could be combined) - Yonge to the west, Queen to the north, Gardiner/DVP to the south and east
- Harbourfront - everything south of the Gardiner between Yonge and Spadina
- Cabbagetown, Regent Park and the Garden District (also three different neighbourhoods that can be combined) - Queen to the south, Jarvis to the west, Bloor to the north, DVP to the east
- Church and Wellesley - Jarvis to the east, Bloor to the north, Yonge to the west, Carlton to the south
- Let me know what you think. Darkcore 01:08, 15 September 2009 (EDT)
- I think we should have this finished at least when the CotM ends. These amount of neighborhoods does seem a bit of overkill though. Obviously Toronto/The Annex and Toronto/Chinatown are cool, but how shall we divide the rest of Downtown? --globe-trotter 12:20, 7 July 2010 (EDT)
- I've taken the liberty to break down Toronto by its districts, which is how I feel it should be. If you look at large cities, aka, New York City, they clearly break down the Boroughs, then the neighborhoods inside those.
Toronto is definitely large and diverse enough to accomplish this. We could use the City of Toronto's official break down for neighborhoods, but it would add up quickly. Grouping together neighborhoods might be a better solution, as long as we can agree on what to merge. Each neighborhood is very distinct in many cases though, and it's just required time and effort to make this happen.

Jabs at the United States / Anti-Americanism
"The overall violent crime rate in Canada, and particularly in Toronto is much lower than that found in major cities the United States, but is still higher than the rate in some European countries such as Germany."
"One exception to relatively low crime rates is that both car and bike theft are comparable to other large North American cities."
"Toronto has a larger homeless population that many other similar-sized cities because there is a law allowing homeless people to remain on the sidewalk, as long as they are not aggressive." (nice excuse but no, there's a well known lack of affordable housing - nice to leave that bit out eh?).
This is a problem I find with anything Toronto related on the internet, whether it be here, another wiki or on travel forums, and it's mostly a result of the ridiculous amounts of hubris exerted by many Torontonians. There always seems to be a desire to compare Toronto to other cities, especially American cities, as well as excuses for real problems in Toronto, as a way for Torontonians to somehow justify that their city is superior or not as rough as it actually is in parts.
This article is about Toronto, Ontario, Canada (i.e. NOT affiliated with the United States or Germany, or any other country). Can someone then explain to me why the editors of this article feel the need to, as with most Toronto articles, throw in jabs at American cities? The U.S. articles don't mention comparisons to Canadian or other international cities. The Mexican articles don't mention comparisons to U.S. or Central American cities not in Mexico. Vancouver has *lower* crime than Toronto yet Vancouver's article doesn't have comparisons. Care to explain this? I think the comparisons need to be removed.

Beggars or Panhandlers?
An IP editor changed three instances of the word "panhandler" to "beggar". The latter word strikes me as somewhat pejorative in North American English; 'panhandler' is the more usual term. My reversion was itself reverted by the IP editor. Thoughts? LtPowers 10:39, 8 February 2012 (EST)
- Beggars, "Panhandlers" is for the same but south of the border. —The preceding comment was added by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs)
- I'd vote for panhandlers; beggars is certainly a pejorative and not too helpful in a warning about homelessness. Both words could indeed mean the same thing, but locally "panhandler" seems to be the more common (polite) way to refer to the stereotypical "homeless" looking person waiting for spare change. A beggar is someone who generally asks or money; this would include everyone from the people who sell chocolate bars outside the Eaton Centre, to the people who try to sell cheaper TTC tokens outside automatic subway entrances. These people probably are not "homeless", and I don't think there is any reason to warn of these people here. --Smgreg 22:50, 8 February 2012 (EST)

- As a Canadian, from Toronto, I've head both panhandler and beggar. Panhandling in more official, legal or neutral conversations, begging in more casual or pejorative uses. Maybe we can agree that both terms are used in Toronto, and accept that since that the point of this paragraph is to warn of "aggressive panhandling", we can replace beggars with "aggressive panhandlers"? Smgreg 13:02, 26 February 2012 (EST)
- As another Canadian also from Toronto I disagree that beggar is used in any pejorative sense: it is the more common term, and I would suggest the standard. On the other hand panhandler is far less common, and is US word that should not be used for a Canadian article. I am against any use of it here, including "aggressive panhandling". It should be simply "beggar." Thanx, Steve.
- Panhandling is not a universally understood (English language) term, whilst "beggar" is. WT articles are international in readership. There is no need to use US idiomatic terms in the articles, even in the US articles as it may lead to confusion amongst an international readership. Perhaps the use of begging for money, or asking for money from people passing by may be less pejorative and therefore less controversial. Perhaps consider using this instead:
- Toronto has a visible homeless population, many of whom will ask you for money. If you do not want to provide them with money, simply look the person in the eye and say "No thank you" or just ignore them. If you do give them any money, they usually leave you alone. There have been occasional occurrences of aggressive requests, with one resulting in a fatality. If a person demanding money becomes aggressive, move away quickly and alert a police officer. -- felix 14:42, 29 February 2012 (EST)

- What utter claptrap. "Panhandler" is not a "US word"; it is an English word and a perfectly legitimate one at that. The number of professional Canadian writers who use the word is uncountably high, as a simple Google search demonstrates. Pull the other one, it's got bells on. LtPowers 17:20, 2 March 2012 (EST)
Interesting that you refer to what I wrote above as "claptrap". I recalling your efforts to 'inform' me sometime back last year on the contemporary use of the term "Aussie" to collectively describe an Australian person, outlining that it was not at all offensive to Australians and had no pejorative aspect to it and no contemporary derivative racist usage, despite the fact that it does. This was done with the benefit of a view apparently unobscured by the several thousand kilometres of ocean that separate the US from Australia, both geographically and culturally. I recall you readily overlooked and dismissed my own opinion readily derived from my own considerable amount of time spent in that country.
So now you are apparently striving to 'inform' Canadians on appropriate linguistic interpretations in the Canadian articles.
Though I do not have a lot of experience living in the US myself I have most certainly visited there, several family members live there and I have many friends who are either resident there or expatriates abroad. I am not entirely unfamiliar with the place, though I most certainly am an outsider and do not consider myself an expert on either American society or US English colloquialisms. So therefore I will need to rely on what I trust are acceptable authoritative resources.
The term panhandler has mixed and slightly confused origins but is clearly of American derivation, with some possible Spanish influences.
It's linguistic origins are readily attributed to references such as the 'panhandle' of Oklahoma and the figurative relationship between an outstretched arm, and a panhandle. If you read some John Steinbeck it may make some sense in the concept of the dispossessed who may turn to begging in some circumstances. Other influences may be attributed to gold panning practices to seek money, and the Spanish "pan", meaning both bread and money.
You mention "Canadian writers" you might find their use of the word is contextual and may have more to do with a seeking broader general North American linguistic market appeal than anything. Language inarguable does cross national borders, especially land borders.
"Aggressive panhandling" is a legitimate (US/American) term and is used descriptively in an ordinance context when defining an aggressive behavioral characteristic of begging. The U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, Problem-Oriented Guides for Police Series, No. 13 tackles the issues of panhandling. They describe "aggressive panhandling"; "Generally, there are two types of panhandling: passive and aggressive. Passive panhandling is soliciting without threat or menace, often without any words exchanged at all–just a cup or a hand held out. Aggressive panhandling is soliciting coercively, with actual or implied threats, or menacing actions. If a panhandler uses physical force or extremely aggressive actions, the panhandling may constitute robbery."
- World English Dictionary

- See also: Panhandler:
"Panhandler" is said to derive from the Spanish "pan", meaning both bread and money (just as the American slang "bread" does today). But though it is supposed to have been first recorded in 1890, the earliest quotaton I am able to find for it is in the humorist George Ade's 'Doc Horne'(1899): " He had 'sized' the hustler for a 'panhandler' from the very start". However, the fact that Ade put the word in quotation marks probably indicates that he did not invent it, as has often been claimed. QPB Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins, by Robert Hendrickson
- Panhandle:
something resembling the handle of a pan," 1851, especially in ref. to geography, originally Amer.Eng., 1856, in ref. to West Virginia (Florida, Texas, Idaho, Oklahoma also have them). Meaning "an act of begging" is attested from 1849, perhaps from notion of arm stuck out like a panhandle; verb panhandle
Online Etymology Dictionary, © 2010 Douglas Harper
I stand by what I wrote above; "Panhandling is not a universally understood (English language) term".
The US and North America is not the sum of the English speaking word, nor is the Americanised linguistic variation of English the guiding global force in English language usage worldwide. This Canadian legal definition serves to describes it quite well... http://www.saskatoon.ca/DEPARTMENTS/City%20Clerks%20Office/Documents/bylaws/7850.pdf from an area to the geographic area immediately north of the US-Canada border
However, WT is an international vehicle and the language used needs to be sufficiently understandable and free of linguistic intrigue, parochial artifacts and slang that it may be readily understood, also if a term is unnecessarily pejorative to a group of people then it should be expressed in a different but still descriptive manner. There is no readily identifiable need to stigmatise or unecessarily generalise concerning "homeless" people in Toronto or elsewhere in Canada by the use of the term panhandler as It is highly subjective to consider them all to be "beggars" or "panhandlers". As those who are engaging in activities where money is asked for or demanded may not be homeless at all it is better to just describe that process alone without a subjective qualification. Indeed many beggars worldwide are not homeless, many do it as a money making pursuit using emotional manipulation or implied threats to gain money from others.
There is no doubt that 'panhandling' has Canadian usage, there is even an Ottawa Panhandlers Union (though that is a recent thing-2003), and the term is used to describe 'begging' in some legal statutes. That does not mean that it lacks a pejorative context and if it is controversial to use it here in an article there are readily executed alternatives, such as the edit suggestion I made above that can easily avoid any potentially controversial interpretation whilst remaining sufficiently descriptive. I do not appreciate the response that my in good faith suggestion is "claptrap".
By the way "claptrap" is generally considered to have emerged in early 18th century England, a clap trap was a cheap, showy line guaranteed to 'trap a clap' from the audience. The word claptrap went on to refer to any line guaranteed to generate applause or appreciation, first appearing in print is in Nathan Bailey's dictionary of 1721. It is generally defined as:
1.contrived but foolish talk
2.insincere and pretentious talk: politicians' claptrap
[C18 (in the sense: something contrived to elicit applause): from clap 1+trap 1].
In short the clear meaning is that I have written a piece of contrived nonsense. I find your general tone in that regard is overbearing condescending and really quite offensive.
I am not in the habit of writing "claptrap" and do not appreciate the claim that I have here. Try to remember that 'America is not the world', there are other things going on outside that nations borders. If you are hearing bells ringing on you legs LtPowers then maybe it not someone 'pulling' your leg, maybe it is tinnitus, or the bells on your rocking horse, best see a doctor for both those issues. -- felix 02:14, 3 March 2012 (EST)
- The more I read the 'Stay Safe' section, the more I disliked it. I just finished a quick edit to the section, to remove some warnings about things that aren't really safety issues, like getting lost in the PATH, or the weather (which is already addressed just fine in the climate section). I left the paragraph on homeless as-is due to this discussion. I don't want to start another debate, but I really don't think homelessness/panhandling/begging or whatever you want to call it is that big of a deal in Toronto. It's certainly not big enough of a deal to warrant the amount of attention it is getting here. In at least the Toronto context, these people are no more dangerous than anyone else on the street, and the solution is common sense; if you feel unsafe, call the police. I'm inclined to re-write that section to be a little bit more specific about the type of situation someone is bound to encounter:
- Giving Money
- Like most cities, you'll find people on the street and in public areas asking for money, for one reason or another. The most vocal type is often found around Union Station and TTC stations when a subway collector is not on duty. They will often claim to need another few dollars to buy a train ticket, or will offer to sell you a subway token. If you do not want to offer anyone money when they ask, simply say "No thank you" or ignore them. If you are concerned for your safety, simply leave the area. It's illegal for them to block your path or follow you, but if you feel threatened, call the police.
- Wording issues aside, my experience tells me this is a more accurate description of what to be aware of in Toronto. Smgreg 15:34, 3 March 2012 (EST)
- Smgreg, the article appears to benefit from that clarification. I am not sufficiently familiar with the city to edit these sort of details so I will not but it is good to see someone doing it. -- felix 02:07, 4 March 2012 (EST)
- I have a sense that panhandlers are slightly more visible on Toronto streets than in other major cities, but
- Smgreg, the article appears to benefit from that clarification. I am not sufficiently familiar with the city to edit these sort of details so I will not but it is good to see someone doing it. -- felix 02:07, 4 March 2012 (EST)
- One of your sources specifically identifies the word as both "Canadian" and "US" in usage. You seem to now be saying that we shouldn't use the word because it's not universally known... but before that you said that it was a "US word". Using that phrasing implied that the word was not used in Canada, which I hope I've demonstrated to be completely and utterly false. LtPowers 16:16, 5 March 2012 (EST)
- The word is clarified clearly as being of US origin, as indicated by the cites I provided. That is not to say that it does not have either contemporary or past Canadian usage and I have endeavored to indicate that with the further cites, also above; namely the example of a central south Canadian provincial statute that specifically uses the term, plus pointing to the Ottawa Panhandlers Union, in addition to one of the dictionary references that mentions it as being; "informal ( US ), ( Canadian ) to accost and beg from (passers-by), esp on the street" - Collins English Dictionary - Complete & Unabridged 10th Edition, 2009.
- There is no inconsistency to be found in the information I have provided above, rather it clarifies the words use in both a Canada and US linguistic context and describes it's origins Amer.Eng., 1856, in ref. to West Virginia (Florida, Texas, Idaho, Oklahoma also have them). Meaning "an act of begging" is attested from 1849, perhaps from notion of arm stuck out like a panhandle; verb panhandle-Online Etymology Dictionary, © 2010 Douglas Harper.
- However that does not determine that it is universally understandable across the English speaking world. Indeed if you read the information above you will see that for example in South Africa it has an entirely different meaning. US English, or Canadian English is not International English and we need to avoid where possible the use of colloquialisms and idiomatic language in the articles, other than where they are describing the meaning of a particular local term for the benefit of travellers reading the material.
- It is not appropriate to assume that usage in the US, or adopted use in Canada qualifies the meaning outside that geographic area.
Many parts of the world do not even use the term pan for the common cooking vessel, rather they define it more deliberately, as in frying pan (not frypan as in US English), or saucepan. Some may even interpret it as pan; to express a totally negative opinion. Pan pan can also be interpreted as a call for (emergency) assistance if made by radio broadcast, or the in the movement of a camera, the handle attached to the camera head being called the pan handle. In many parts of the world the WC pan or lavatory pan is called a pan and they sometimes have a handle, and guess what, it's called a "panhandle". - Again I state as I did above, we should not assume that America is the world. Not everyone outside North America understands the various linguistic idiosyncrasies and idiomatic language of the people of the United States.
- Additionally in this case the phraseology is clearly contentious and it is clearly not necessary or particularly useful to the article to describe the activities of people seeking money by demand or begging as either "homeless", "panhandlers" or even necessarily as "beggars" if there is a more suitable method of description available. I believe Smgreg has already provided a suitably descriptive and eloquent solution to that apparent dilemma.--felix 09:35, 6 March 2012 (EST)

Iris Murdoch was born on July 15, 1919, in Dublin, Ireland. She published her first novel in 1954, and would go on to publish more than 26 novels. The Sea, the Sea won a Booker Prize in 1978. She published one of her last novels, The Green Knight, in 1994, and was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease that same year. She died on February 8, 1999, in Oxford, England, with husband John Bayley by her bedside.
"Art is the final cunning of the human soul which would rather do anything than face the gods."
"In philosophy if you aren't moving at a snail's pace you aren't moving at all."
"Happiness is a matter of one's most ordinary and everyday mode of consciousness being busy and lively and unconcerned with self."
Early Life
Iris Murdoch was born Jean Iris Murdoch on July 15, 1919, in Dublin, Ireland. When Murdoch was a baby, she and her family moved to London, England. While she was growing up, her father worked as a civil servant, and her mother as a trained opera singer. An only child, Murdoch later described her happy family as "a perfect trinity of love."
The young Murdoch went to boarding school in Bristol until 1938, when she began attending Somerville College, a school for women in Oxford. Upon graduating with honors in 1942, she started working as assistant principal for the British treasury. After serving two years on the treasury, Murdoch took a job with the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. She left that position in 1946 with the intent to further her education.
In 1947, Murdoch took a philosophy studentship at the University of Cambridge. Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein was the leading professor in the department at the time, and Murdoch initially rejected his logical positivism in favor of existentialism. She eventually settled on becoming a Platonist.
In 1948, Murdoch was hired as a philosophy tutor at St. Anne's College in Oxford. She would retain her beloved position for the next two decades, during which time she composed such philosophical works as Sartre: Romantic Rationalist, published in 1953.
Illness and Death
The same year that Murdoch published The Green Knight, she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. In the years to come, writing became increasingly difficult for the author. Bayley cared for his beloved Iris at home until he felt he had no choice but to place her in a care facility.
Murdoch died in a nursing home on February 8, 1999, in Oxford, England, with Bayley by her side. Iris, a film about Murdoch's life based on Bayley's memoir, was released two years after her death. Actress Kate Winslet portrays the young Murdoch in the film, and Judi Dench plays the author later in life, succumbing to Alzheimer's.

Honeymoon Dispatch: Bodrum, Turkey
I just returned home from my 12-day honeymoon in Turkey and had to share a gorgeous vacation spot. Bodrum, on the western coast, is a lovely enclave of beach resorts and whitewashed cliff-side architecture.
After six days in Istanbul and two nights in Kusadasi (a similar resort town near the historic ruins of Ephesus – our reason for the sidetrip), we decided to rest for three days at Casa dell'Arte, a T+L It List Hotel of 2008 located in Torba (a hamlet of Bodrum) known for its vast private art collection and breathtaking Aegean views.

I wished someone had let me read Dan Shipper's article on Why Are You In a Rush when I was starting out on my first website as a 17-year-old high-school boy. Many young entrepreneurs, according to Dan's observations, seem to be in a rush because they believe their idea is The Next Big Thing and become so focused on their artificially set time-constraints that they "ignore doing the one thing that will help them the most: building tangible skills".
My friend, Alan from Startup Chile once told me the following: There are only 2 things to focus on in a startup, Building and Selling - Everything else is peripheral.
Why Learning is So Important
I wished I had taught myself the different parts of building and selling on the Internet more aggressively earlier on. It took me several unsuccessful attempts to finally realise that the most important investment I can make is an investment on myself.
Warren Buffett did say that knowledge is like compound interest; it builds up from reading 500 pages every day. In my interpretation, knowledge learned is cumulative and will build upon what you already know. If you believe that you are in the online entrepreneurship game for the long-term, the best investment you ought to give yourself is learning how to build and learning how to sell successfully online.
Learning How to Build
The first step in launching any online project is to build the website, web app or mobile app. If you are a non-technical person, the first instinct is usually to find a technical person to partner up to build the online product.
I would strongly suggest that instead of finding a technical co-founder, you learn how to code and prototype your idea out. It will not be an instant process nor will your prototype look fabulous, but the process of learning how to code will build a very strong foundation for you in understanding how to build for the web.
You may simply discard this advice of learning how to code and just hustle your way to finding a technical guy. Unless your good friend happens to be a good coder, I would tell you that the journey of finding a technical co-founder is a long and tough road.
A lot of non-technical guys will also dream of raising millions of dollars of VC money because they read about all the awesome startups on TechCrunch raising so much money. I usually tell everyone to STOP reading TechCrunch because TechCrunch emphasises the wrong points in a startup by glorifying the act of raising millions of dollars as an end-goal. Besides, TechCrunch is focused on Silicon Valley and you are most likely not based there. Read HackerNews instead and all of Paul Graham's essays especially this piece where he defines a startup.
Read deeper into the blogs of Silicon Valley founders and you will soon realise that without a prototype built, it is very hard to raise any funding as a first-time founder. Traction is the key to raising funding as a first-time founder and this is what you should be working on before you even consider going to VCs or angel investors for money.
Learning How to Sell
The next thing you need to learn after the ability to code, is to learn how to sell what you created. I used to naively believe that once you build something, people will flock to your product like hot cakes. Turns out that more likely than not, most people won't care about your product. This comes to the question: is the product you build what other people want?
If you are thinking of launching a startup, it is imperative that you read The Lean Startup. Instead of writing a 30-page business plan, do it with a Business Model Canvas. Experiment with what your customers want and learn how to reach them and sell to them.
You will soon realise that selling online is pretty much a marketing funnel and there are many things that you need to do to optimise that funnel. Some startups might choose content marketing as a start to their marketing funnel. Some might then use gamification to increase engagement level. Either way, you ought to know about cohort analysis and A/B testing to see what works best in optimising your funnel.
What Will You Learn Today?
There are tonnes of things that you need to learn if you would like to stand a chance of succeeding with your startup idea. Nobody said the journey will be an easy ride. The point is to start learning every day because your lessons will accumulate over time.
Oh, and not forgetting, if you are impatient and can't wait to launch your startup with your friend right now, do read up about shareholder vesting. Investing in your learning is the single best thing that you can do for the long run. Start investing in your education. Good luck with your learning.
Do you agree with my opinions? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below. If you enjoyed reading this article, kindly subscribe to my email list for further insider posts like this.

Cookin with The Columns: A Tunica classic
Last week, Brooks was looking for something in an old copy of The Tunica Times. She came across this recipe from November 12, 1992 that is from a story about Mrs. J.C. (IdaMae) Still's 99th birthday. Many of you probably remember her. Mrs. Still was obviously very well known for her cooking here in Tunica. The article says her most popular dishes were cheese straws, caramel cake, coconut cake, lasagna, Spanish Delight, and Chicken Travern. The recipe was included for this chicken dish so I am passing it on to you. If it was delicious then, I'm sure it still is today. It's definitely not a Weight Watchers recipe this week, though.

Piano Hinge Monster Book of Monsters
EnvelopesBamboo skewers
Embellishments for decorating
First, cut the flaps off of however many envelopes you need for your book.Stack them so that they are all facing the same direction.
Using the template below, cut out notches on the bottom edge of each envelope.
Now, take a bamboo skewer and weave it in the first notch of the first envelope, the second notch of the second envelope, then back to the first envelope, and so on until you reach the end.
Repeat this step to connect the rest of the envelopes together.
When you finish, you will have extra tabs on the front and back of your book. Weave a skewer through these to finish them off.
You may want to amputate the pokey ends to keep from skewering yourself, but it is much easier to weave the skewers through your envelopes using the sharp end, then cut it off later.
The skewers may slip and slide on your binding, so finish them off by winding some fibers around the ends and tieing them tightly to help keep the skewers in place.
When you finish, your binding should look like this:
Now decorate your book to your heart's content, putting little tabs on each of the monster photos to make it easier to pull them out of each envelope.

Think about it. Would you take a Prisoner of Azkaban book, photocopy it, put your name in big red letters on the front cover and try to sell it in your local library? The answer is, obviously, no. Well, selling crafts you have made but not designed would be just as bad!

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - Rodney Cooper scored 17 points Thursday night as depleted Alabama held on for a 79-68 win at Arkansas.
The win is the second straight for the Crimson Tide, which played without leading scorers JaMychal Green and Tony Mitchell for the fourth straight game due to suspensions.
The win keeps the Tide tied with both Tennessee and LSU for fourth place in the SEC. The top four teams in the standings earn first-round byes in the upcoming league tournament.
Alabama (18-9, 7-6 Southeastern Conference) trailed 39-35 late in the first half before going on a 19-2 run to go up 54-41. It then was able to fight off a late run by the Razorbacks.
Andrew Steele scored 15 points for the Crimson Tide, while Nick Jacobs and Trevor Releford had 14 each.
The loss for the Razorbacks (17-11, 5-8) is their second straight at home after opening the season 17-0 in Bud Walton Arena.
BJ Young led Arkansas with 21 points and five assists.

How up can you get for a team that's never put you down? How easy is it to convince yourself you must prepare for the 0-2 Bills as diligently as you did for the self-absorbed Jets or roaring Bengals before you have a cocktail instead?

Why the Right Would've Attacked Martin Luther King
The activist's stances on war, poverty and business clash with the GOP's philosophy.
Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul have both given shout outs to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in recent days, but if King were alive today his viewpoints on war, poverty and business almost certainly would have led to fierce attacks from the right. After all for challenging the status quo in the middle of the 20th century, King became a target of the FBI's J. Edgar Hoover. So why was King perceived as a threat then and which of his political views would've even led to accusations that he was un-American? This list sums it up.
In his speech "Beyond Vietnam," King characterized the United States as arrogant for escalating the conflict in Vietnam and took issue with the fact that young black men were fighting to liberate the Vietnamese when they were treated like second-class citizens in the U.S. "War is not the answer," he wrote. "Communism will never be defeated by the use of atomic bombs or nuclear weapons. Let us not join those who shout war…We must with positive action seek to remove those conditions of poverty, insecurity and injustice which are the fertile soil in which the seed of communism grows and develops." Given that Ron Paul stands out as the only Republican presidential candidate who's loudly voiced opposition to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, King's criticism of the United States' involvement in Vietnam likely would have led to accusations that the civil rights leader wasn't patriotic or willing enough to stamp out the enemy.
Can you imagine any of the Republican presidential candidates demanding employment, housing and healthcare for the poor? Well, that was Martin Luther King's reason for organizing a Poor People's Campaign in Washington, D.C. The plan was for civil rights activists to visit various government agencies and urge them to pass substantial anti-poverty legislation. Given Newt Gingrich's controversial characterization of poor children as lacking a work ethic and the suggestion that Obama's healthcare plan amounts to socialism, you can bet that none of the GOP presidential candidates would've been fans of the Poor People's Campaign. Sadly, James Earl Ray assassinated King before the march took place in May 1968.
Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney has tried to win over voters by touting his experience in the business world. King, however, was pro-labor and managed to make the civil rights movement a success by crippling businesses with boycotts. The day before his April 4, 1968, assassination in Memphis, Tenn., where King had arrived to support striking sanitation workers, he delivered the speech "I've Been to the Mountaintop." In the speech, King asked supporters to boycott companies such as Coca-Cola and Wonder Bread because they allegedly had unfair hiring practices. Moreover, long before Occupy Wall Street, King discussed plans of a "bank-in" movement. He asked supporters to take their money out of the banks downtown to flex their economic power. "Always anchor our external direct action with the power of economic withdrawal," he said.

Former social security employee sentenced to two years in prison for accepting bribes for unlawful benefits
July 12, 2011 |
NEWARK, N.J. – A former employee of the U.S. Social Security Administration Office in Jersey City, N.J., was sentenced today to 24 months in prison for accepting bribes to classify people for disability payments to which they were not entitled, U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman announced.
Margarita Diaz, 40, of Bayonne, N.J., previously pleaded guilty before Judge Katharine S. Hayden to an Information charging her with one count of bribery of a public official. Judge Hayden also imposed the sentence today in Newark federal court.
According to documents filed and statements made in court:
Diaz was employed as a claims representative at a Social Security Administration (SSA) office in Jersey City. As part of her duties, Diaz was granted access to the SSA computer system to process applications for Social Security disability benefits. Because it may take as long as six months before a decision is made by the SSA on whether an applicant qualifies for disability payments, the SSA will authorize immediate benefits, called "presumptive disability payments," to individuals who meet SSA's criteria and suffer from a severe disabling condition.
In order for an application to receive presumptive disability payments, an SSA claims representative must determine whether the applicant is suffering from a qualifying severe condition. Diaz admitted that from August 2008 to January 2009, she processed applications for presumptive disability payments for individuals who did not qualify in exchange for cash payments. In all, she took approximately $25,000 in illegal payments for herself and others.
In addition to the prison term, Judge Hayden ordered Diaz to serve two years of supervised release.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents with the Social Security Administration, Office of the Inspector General, New York Field Division, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Edward J. Ryan, with the investigation leading to today's sentence.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Christine Magdo of the U.S. Attorney's Office Economic Crimes Unit in Newark.
Defense counsel: John Yauch Esq., Assistant Federal Public Defender, Newark
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced that federal disaster aid has been made available to the State of New Jersey.
FEMA is now accepting applications from residents and business owners who sustained losses in Atlantic County, Cape May County, Essex County, Hudson County, Middlesex County, Monmouth County, Ocean County and Union County.
