Christopher's Kid-e-Mins™ Vitamins and Minerals Orange -- 2 fl oz
Great product
I love that the vitamins come from a natural source rather than synthetic vitamins. They seem to be tasty as my kids don't mind swallowing a whole dropper full at once. They don't seem to last long though. I have had my bottle for a little over 2 weeks and its over half gone..... but I am using it for 2 kids so I guess next time I will order 2 bottles. It would be great if they came in a bigger bottle.

excellent product
Being an herbalist I know that Dr. christopher is a trusted name in the herb world. My grand daughter love this product!
February 22, 2010
excellent multi
I love this product because it's so easy to give my kids, it's a whole food supplement, and they love the taste.
February 20, 2010
Great product
I am very impressed with Dr. Christopher's products and decided to try this for my 22- month-olds daily vitamins. She loves this! While eating breakfast, if I have forgotten to pull out the bottle, she points to the cupboard and is happy to get her "mins." My girl gratefully has been very happy and healthy--I attribute it, in part, to her eating lots of veggies, whole grains and good products like this one! And . . . . basically no sugar yet.

Christopher's Kid-e-Mins Vitamins and Minerals Ora
I like this product because it is completely food based. It's the only children's vitamin I've found that isn't synthetic. Dr. Christopher's has a good reputation. It seems like a good, safe vitamin for children. I'm very happy with it.

An established Las Vegas business prospers, while a green one opens in Reno.
Photo: PR (Above: Glassic Art; Below: EcoReno)
If you want an idea of the elegance of Leslie Rankin's Glassic Art business, make a reservation at the Le Cirque restaurant in the Bellagio next time you're in Las Vegas. There, you'll see the decorative glass on display inside one of Vegas' most luxurious properties. Glassic Art is also on display in major cities such as Dallas, international travel destinations like Puerto Rico, and private residences.
It's a testament to how far Rankin has come in 22 years, when she first opened up shop in Nevada's biggest city. Before that, she spent eight years experimenting with paint coatings, sandblasting, and welding to refine a formula for coloring glass without using heat. The custom glass is used in anything from doors and windows to staircase railings and countertops.
Sustainable living store opens in Reno
EcoReno, which aims to help consumers reduce waste, buy recycled materials, and live in more sustainable ways, opened in downtown Reno last fall. The retail store, owned by Marc and Morgan Tiar, carries goods such as household products, pet supplies, composting aids, and an extensive selection of natural personal care products.
The emphasis is not only to sell, but also to educate, in offering items that will encourage conservation and decrease pollution. At EcoReno, you'll find compost bins, kids toys made from recycled plastic, solar backpacks, and books on green living, to name a few. The business also plans to host regular lectures and educational programs featuring experts on a variety of ecologic issues.
"On both a local and global level, we want to take small steps to reduce our impact and preserve the planet for future generations," Marc says.
18 Stewart St., Ste. B, Reno
Glassic Art
5850 Polaris Ave., Las Vegas
This is the real art designed by this company. I liked this one very much.
Very nice information about glass art I find here to purchase a good artificial glasses.
I shall also inform other friends about these sites. Thanks

These name plates would be made in such a way that the user could insert a piece of paper with whatever they chose to put on it (a name or the identification of what the locker held, etc.). |

Do NOT buy this one, it's a rip off with no receptionPros: Not a single thing. Cons: I only paid $75 for a portable radio because I thought the reception would be better than average. The reception is worse than your average clock radio. It takes C batteries, the LEAST common that someone is likely to have around. HUGE for a "portable" radio, no USB or SD input only aux. Big clunker with a clunker price to match and you WILL have to pay shipping in order to return it thanks to 3rd party seller. Other Thoughts: Supersonic® SC-1082 9 Band AM/FM/SW1-7 Portable Radio has USB/SD ports, rechargeable batter/DC input, SW band and a flashlight for less than ONE THIRD the price. It only has one speaker but big deal, it's actually portable size with a handle as well. Save your money and buy this one instead of the Sangean rip off. Did you find this review helpful? |
Really Nice RadioPros: This radio gets much better reception than most radios of it's size. The antenna has a pretty good extension length on it and I can pull in the station I wanted from my new office location within a building away from the window. It has RDS which is nice for seeing what is playing. I would classify the construction as "well built". The plastic body is thick and ridged. The labeling is thick, bold, and does not seem to scratch easily. The side rotating buttons have a nice rubberized feel and are very sturdy. There is is a headphone jack and also AUX 3.5mm plug which is very nice for plugging in an MP3 player. The sound is really nice for a small radio though turning it up can get generate a bit to much bass and be distorted, depending on the genre of music. I also found that when unplugging the power, there is some sort of rechargeable or hidden battery that keeps the time for a certain amount of time. This could also be some sort of capacitor that keeps a charge for this. I have not tested how long it retains the time, but was nice to see I won't have to rest the clock if the power flickers. Cons: A handle would be nice if I were to use this in a more "portable" fashion. I can't imagine why a portable radio would not have a handle or some form of it. Other Thoughts: I previous had to "MacGyver" myself an antenna on my former radio in order to get the Rock channel I liked to listen to, even when I was located next to a window. In the new location it wouldn't work so I looked for a replacement. This was it. Did you find this review helpful? |
i like itPros: easy to use. Cons: wife wanted a small radio for work when her cheap ge portable failed. this failed to get reception where her old ge did. Did you find this review helpful? |
Surprisingly GoodPros: Excellent AM and FM sensitivity; High audio power; Good ergonomics; Good sound quality, even without tone controls; Aux input for my iPod; Quiet AC adapter that doesn't introduce noise into the receiver. Cons: Could use a handle. 100 KHz tuning steps on FM a little bit weird. Would prefer a matte finish on the front of the cabinet to reduce fingerprints. Other Thoughts: I purchased this to replace my beloved 30-year old GE SuperRadio-I that has suddenly gone deaf on FM. Overall, and for its size, this has astounding RF performance on both AM and FM bands. Its sound quality is quite pleasing, and there's enough audio power to fill a room. Unlike some portables I've tried, using the AC adapter doesn't seem to compromise reception. I'm looking forward to DXing some of my favorite AM stations tonight. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great product!Pros: Very sensitive on AM & FM, great sound, small convenient package, good build quality and attractive design Cons: No handle, a bit heavy, uses C batteries (why???) Other Thoughts: Positives FAR outweigh shortcomings. In the last yr, I've bought the Sangean PR-D7, U3, H2O and this radio.. All are great radios, but this is by far the best for daily usage IMHO. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great little boomboxPros: Small, looks great, easy to use, RDS, aux input, reception, sound quality. Cons: Backlight cannot be set to stay on while on AC power. Other Thoughts: I did a lot of research to find a radio that had decent enough reception for my wife while she listened to FM in the kitchen. At first I thought I wanted a Tivoli but I stumbled upon this at half the cost. With very strong digital tuning and very rich sound quality, this radio exceeds expectations. I love that it sounds much bigger than it is. It is also built well. I cranked the volume to max and there was no clipping or case rattling. The aux input is also a nice, and simple, touch. I think it's fantastic. Highly recommended. Did you find this review helpful? |
Excellent RadioPros: Well made and the tuner works beautifully. It's solid and well made. Simple with ample functionality. Cons: None Other Thoughts: I went crazy looking for a QUALITY radio that didn't force-feed you an iPad interface and found it here. Just a good old-fashioned radio with a digital tuner that does the job for me. Well worth the money in my opinion. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great reception, great soundPros: Clean layout, easy to use, really great reception. Nice stereo separation, and surprisingly good sound for a portable radio. Small size is nice, too. Exactly what I was looking for. Cons: It has a clock, but it defaults to the radio station frequency when the radio is on. Weird. Other Thoughts: I wanted something I could haul around my yard when I'm working outside, and could plug in an MP3 or CD player. This just works. Not a big, heavy boom box, not a tinny transistor radio, but a decent, portable stereo with good sound and reception. Recommended. 8 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

guide forks for Danco C2 mowerI am having trouble keeping the belt on my 42" Danco C2 mower. Found a great photo of the belt guide forks posted by Dogman. My mower has no forks. Is it worth making a pair or is a new belt likely to solve the problem? I have followed the suggestions on the forum and think I have the belt adjusted and tightened properly. The belt I am using is pretty raggedy. Thanks
Re: guide forks for Danco C2 mowerIf your belt is in poor condition, that's probably most of the problem. While you're replacing the belt, you might also add the guides.
Re: guide forks for Danco C2 mowerI have about two years experience with my Cub tractor and C-2 mower (over twenty years with a Super A and implements including a Woods mower). My Cub mower came with only one of the belt guides you describe so I had another made. The C-2's belt is slack when the mower is raised. The belt's drive tension is set with the mower lowered and in operating position. The mower should NOT be operated in a position much above its cutting height because the belt will be slackened and, possibly, misaligned. The guides are easy to make and install. I see their function as to keep the belt on the mower pulley when the deck is raised and not powered.

Re: guide forks for Danco C2 mowerYou can probably buy that guide fork NOS. Just Google the part number and someone will have it. I bought one last year for my C3. If you need the part numbers, check the manuals sections above. Rotary Cutters (RC-1) has a complete breakdown on the C2 and C3 mowers.
Re: guide forks for Danco C2 mowerIf the belt is ragged, it probably has some stretched/broken cords in it that are causing it to jump off.
All the guide forks will do for you in this case is give the belt a place to wedge under when it jumps off the next time.

Term Life Insurance
Definition of 'Term Life Insurance'
A policy with a set duration limit on the coverage period. Once the policy is expired, it is up to the policy owner to decide whether to renew the term life insurance policy or to let the coverage end. This type of insurance policy contrasts with permanent life insurance, in which duration extends until the policy owner reaches 100 years of age (i.e. death).
Investopedia explains 'Term Life Insurance'
These types of policies provide a stated benefit upon the death of the policy owner, provided that the death occurs within a specific time period. However, the policy does not provide any returns beyond the stated benefit, unlike permanent life insurance policies, which have a savings component that can be used for wealth accumulation.

Boating Safety
Memorial Day weekend marks the "unofficial" start to summer, and many Floridians and visitors are making boating plans. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) reminds boaters to be smart and safe on the water.
"Enjoy the day by remembering a few safety precautions, such as remaining alert while operating a boat and wearing your life jacket," said Capt. Tom Shipp of the FWC's Boating and Waterways Section. "Check your boating safety equipment and registration before you leave the dock, so you are ready for any problems that might arise on the water."
According to the FWC, inattentiveness of the operator often contributes to boating accidents, and statistics show that more than 60 percent of the 79 boating-related deaths confirmed last year were attributed to drowning.
So far this year, 18 people have lost their lives in boating accidents in state waters.
"The combination of paying better attention, abiding by the navigation rules and wearing life jackets all the time while on the water could result in fewer injuries and deaths each year," Shipp said.

The city of Wichita plans to settle a lawsuit filed by the family of Suhani Bhakta, a 12-year-old girl who was hit and killed by a police patrol car in Feb. 2012.
A Kansas Highway Patrol investigation verified that the officer was speeding in a 30 mph zone and was not using lights or a siren when the accident occurred. The officer hit Bhakta as she ran across a road near her home. Police said the officer was following policy at the time and that a sports utility vehicle may have obstructed his view.
Officials say the city will pay Suhani Bhakta's parents $300,000 to settle the wrongful death suit.

NEW YORK — Far be it for us to call Jeff Lynne obsessive.
But the man did just spend countless hours in a recording studio painstakingly remaking his 1970s era hits with the Electric Light Orchestra so they sound, to amateur ears . . . exactly the same as they did when they were in the Top 40.
Ah, but his aren't amateur ears. And every time Lynne would hear songs like "Mr. Blue Sky," "Evil Woman" or "Telephone Line" on the radio, it would drive him a little nuts. He'd hear something he wished was done differently, a vocal that sounded muddy or an instrument lost in the mix, and remember how it was usually recorded hurriedly.
So Lynne, who built a successful post-ELO career as a producer to members of the Beatles and Tom Petty and has a state-of-the-art studio in his California home, set about recreating history.
His just-released "Mr. Blue Sky: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra" CD is a take two of 12 of ELO's most popular songs, by a one-man orchestra. It is paired with another release, "Long Wave," where Lynne interprets some youthful favorites and standards like "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" and "Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing."
The English musician spent three years on the projects, working six days a week.
There are virtually no differences in the ELO arrangements on "Mr. Blue Sky" and the instruments that are played. Lynne had no interest in reinterpreting material that he wrote. His voice sounds slightly deeper in spots, but that's barely noticeable. Only when you play old and new versions back-to-back do you notice the much clearer vocal on "Evil Woman" and the way the violin jumps out at you on "Strange Magic."
"It may be technical, but it is vastly different," Lynne said in a recent interview. "The sound of it is totally different. It's much more powerful. It's much better sounding."

Megan Cottrell: Eviction Is to Black Women What Incarceration Is to Black Men
[ Here's another piece from Megan Cottrell's incredible blog on poverty and housing issues, One Story Up. If you saw the article on Matt Desmond's work in the New York Times, just for the record, Megan had the story first - Aaron. ]
Among young black men in America, about 10 percent are currently incarcerated. It's shocking, but we've almost grown used to it.
But while those young men are in prison, what's happening to their wives, girlfriends, mothers and sisters?
Eviction. A new study coming out of Milwaukee shows that eviction is for black women what incarceration is for black men. One in 20 households there are evicted every year. In predominately black communities, that rate doubles to 1 in 10 families.
For those of us who are affluent, with relatively stable incomes, we've never even had to think about what it would be like.
Getting the eviction notice in the mail. The knot in your stomach, knowing you can't pay the rent you owe. The court case, and the eventual knock on the door from the sheriff, telling you it's time to go.
We've been talking about eviction a lot lately, from the near eviction of three orphans and their guardian, to the protested eviction of a Cabrini-Green mother, to the Chicago campaign to stop evictions from happening this winter.
Matt Desmond
When I heard about Matt Desmond's research out of Milwaukee, I was shocked and intensely interested. It turns out, while many people have studied poverty and poor communities, no one has ever really studied evictions before, at least not the way Matt has.
"Eviction is probably the most under-studied process affecting the lives of the urban poor," said Matt, a doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "We know nothing about it."
To figure it out, Matt dove into neighborhoods where evictions are common place. He took up residence in a trailerpark outside of Milwaukee, living there for several months before he moved into an inner-city neighborhood. He talked with people, poured over eviction records, and asked people to record their experiences with eviction through a large survey effort.
What he found, he said, surprised him.
"Eviction isn't rare. It's quite common in the lives of poor families," he said
I asked him about families that he got to know – people he spent hours talking with. Was it hard to see them face these troubles?
It's always hard to tell over the phone, but I could swear I heard a quiver in his voice as he replied.
"It was difficult," he said, "It's a bit hard to talk about, actually."
It's not just that eviction happens a lot in poor neighborhoods, but Matt's was also stunned by who eviction was happening to.
"Eviction is disproportionately experienced by women and black women. It's the feminine equivalent of incarceration," he said. "There's a lot of young black men being locked up and young black women being locked out."
And eviction has consequences, more consequences than just getting put out on the street. One eviction on your record makes it harder to find your next apartment. Your security deposit might be higher. Your rent might be greater. For families who are already struggling that much, that kind of pressure leads to more trouble, more evictions. Many of the families Matt talked to were paying 80 to 90 percent of their income in rent per month.
It's just not sustainable, he said. We've got to do something about it.
"We've reached a breaking point, Megan," he told me. "We can't go on like this."
The solutions, he says, aren't so easy. Just because eviction is bad, he says, doesn't mean no one should be evicted. It means we have to pay more attention to this process that's directly impacting the lives of the poor.
"We know a lot about the consequences of incarceration. That doesn't mean that no one should be locked up," he says. "But it probably means that not so many people should. It may be the same for eviction."
That means anti-poverty programs need to listen up. Free school lunches are nice. But no amount of school lunches make up for not having a home and not being able to get one. We've got to figure out what's going on in our communities and what solutions can help.
We've still got a lot to learn. But to begin, I think we need to start seeing eviction – witnessing what's happening in our city.
Imagine it's you. You lost your job. The bills are piling up. The rent is three months late. You've borrowed money from everyone you can think of, and there's nothing left. The notice comes, and you pray it won't happen, but it does. Your stuff – in boxes. Your children don't have a place to come home to after school. Where will you go? And how will you put your life back together?
Hundreds of families in Chicago are experiencing this right now. We have to listen to their experience, open our eyes and figure out what can be done.

EngineerScotty says:
Several immediate questions which comes to mind, not answered by the above:
* When evicted, where are people going? To shelters? To the street? Moving in with friends and relatives?
* How soon, generally, before evicted persons (here I'm assuming evictions only for non-payment of rent; not for other causes) are able to find housing (of their own) again?
* What happens to the rent in arrears? Are landlords generally engaging in post-eviction collection activities, or writing off the debts once the tenant is out? Do landlords frequently attempt to seize personal property (in places where that is allowed)?
kevin c says:
very interesting article.
Here in Canada, circumstances can be similar, though based not so much upon race as on social/economic level, First Nations status, and for those on public assistance.
One finds themselves in poorer and poorer quality residences once a cycle of eviction begins as described in the article. Apartments are usually found by referral, availability due to someone else having been evicted. One can often "work out a deal" for security deposits etc with such landlords as they are used to less stable tenants, though rent is often high priced given the size and quality of residences available. One is forced into a community in similar circumstance. Obvious solutions such as shared accommodation can be a problem as one's peers are often unsuitable roomates (or are their friends/partners). If the tenant is a single parent, child safety is a significant issue. Progressive tenant's rights legislation can worsen the problems, as property owners are forced to be more conservative in their tenant selection.
So it goes.
I'm not sure if anyone in Canada has studied the effects of serial evictions as described, but it is definitely worth analysis, as the maintenance of a stable residence of any form is of primary importance for family health and well being, and for the development of stable communities and neighbourhoods. -
The Urbanophile says:
EngineerScotty, I don't know. Perhaps Matt Desmond would. But it illustrates the kind of questions that come to mind.
I lived in a neighborhood in Indianapolis that was largely poor and white, with a large number of people with marginal incomes. My evidence is entirely anecdotal, but it appeared to me that people frequently moved, often bouncing between roommates. The big question for me is what Desmond counts as an eviction. Is it only a formal sheriff's eviction? Or does it include informal evictions? From what I've seen, a lot of the displacement among the poor come from the latter. People who have falling out with roommates, people kicked out of a house by family, landlords that just tell people they have to go, etc. I did not hear of anyone who became physically homeless.
AmericanDirt says:
Like most people (Matt Desmond excepted), I have little to no knowledge or experience with eviction. But I would agree with Urbanophile's speculation that homelessness does not immediately follow eviction. My experience working with homeless men (the sex of the majority of homeless, as we know) is that most were chronic and few of them were ever couch surfing–their strongest connections were with other homeless men. Obviously I have no intention of overlooking homeless women, but my suspicion is the numbers are smaller at least in part because of an innate tendency for women to cultivate relationships and networks far more strongly than men. A similar, less noticeable gulf exists between homeless who stay at shelters and those who panhandle. Virtually no panhandlers use the shelters–they save their money for hotels. Women facing eviction would most likely turn to the street only as a last resort, while men are far more like to make that choice even when other options are available.

Keeping in mind the law of unintended consequences – Would stricter anti-eviction laws make landlords therefore less likely to rent to very low-income tenants?
The Urbanophile says:
anon 11:48, I am not advocating any particular policy, but I'd look at it differently. Namely, I believe there are trade-offs to be made in any situation. I certainly have a Burkeian respect for institutions that evolved over time and seem to function at least reasonably well. I don't think we'd ever get to a perfect and cost free solution. but focusing on only the downsides of a policy change ignores the potential benefits of change, and to believe that the cons must outweigh the pros, is to posit that the current policy is ideal. I'm not sure I'd buy that, though of course we should be aware of the tradeoffs we are making in any change.
Adam P says:
Megan commented on children having no place to come home to after school. I think a significant concern relates to the schooling directly. As households are evicted and move or move because they are behind on rent and see an eviction forthcoming, this often means relocation to a different school. My girlfriend teaches at an inner-city, public elementary school as has commented that the school sees four or five new students shortly after the beginning of each month. There are multiple occurrences of a fourth or fifth grader having been in 7, 8, or even 9 different schools. It puts tremendous stress on the children and undoubtedly affects their ability to establish a routine of learning.
Anonymous 4PM says:
"Imagine it's you. You lost your job. The bills are piling up. The rent is three months late. You've borrowed money from everyone you can think of, and there's nothing left. The notice comes, and you pray it won't happen, but it does. Your stuff – in boxes. Your children don't have a place to come home to after school. Where will you go? And how will you put your life back together?"
When does the black community at large, especially in the inner city, take a look at these issues and start to understand that they are a direct result of initial poor choices? I don't want to sound too harsh; however, who told these women to procreate and then become dependent of men so lacking in quality and character that they would be incarcerated and thus be left on their own with children?
I fancy the day when we can talk about historical causality as it relates to current reality within the black community.
Regine says:
Anonymous, one never knows what the future holds. Remember "There by the grace of God, goes I."
Minch Lewis says:
There is a culture of survival in our city neighborhoods. In that culture, incarceration has no stigma and eviction has no consequence. Both events are part of the on-going struggle for survival. The culture includes a set of support mechanisms that are generally unrecognized by those of us who come from the mainstream culture. The survival culture deserves study. But most of all, it deserves respect. The student who drops out of high school because he cannot sit in a classroom for ten minutes has no difficulty adopting a super-disciplined code of conduct to become a gang mamber.
JasonM says:
How many of these women are single women with many children?
How about "Don't start having a lot of babies until you have a husband, and maybe even a job"???
I clicked on that blog and the first thing I saw was a "family" that consists of one woman and her four children.
In what universe are such life choices economically productive?
The tender solicitude of bleeding-hearts for the economic welfare of the black underclass never extends to telling them that they should not make catastrophically bad judgments about how to live their lives.
EngineerScotty says:
Unfortunately, Aaron, when you touch a subject such as this one–it's not long before the trolls and racists arrive…
John Morris says:
This sort of touches on the subject of "Root Shock" and the unseen effects of social disruption on cities in general.
I've been meaning to do a major post about that on my blog ever since I read Mindy Fullilove's book. This is likely one of the biggest elephant's in the room that nobody talks about.
I'm really going to be dead honest here Aaron. The subject isn't popular among city officials anywhere because a serious examination would implicate them in the destruction of their own cities and call into question a lot of the power they seek.
Alon Levy says:
The trolls are actually enlightening. You can't really discuss social issues or race without discussing racism. There are a host of good government programs that would work at fighting the eviction problem: subsidized housing, tenant protection laws, means-tested welfare, public housing. Many of those are found even in the most capitalist countries in the world when affordable housing is a general problem. The problem with implementing such policies is political, not economic. By and large the white middle class wants welfare programs to be maximally humiliating and cost-ineffective, in order to get back at the black underclass.
EngineerScotty says:
The trolls are enlightening in that they lay bare some of the attitudes that others may not utter in polite company–on the other hand, they muddy the waters by speaking as though certain social pathologies, which are certainly present among poor blacks, are exclusive to them.
There's just as much pathology in the trailer park as in the ghetto; the difference is that poor whites who screw up get a lot more sympathy and forgiveness from the power structure–poor blacks who screw up get thrown in jail, tarred as "welfare queens", etc.
I can only imagine the reaction of much of society were Barack Obama's daughter to get knocked up, instead of Sarah Palin's….
Anonymous 4PM says:
"Unfortunately, Aaron, when you touch a subject such as this one–it's not long before the trolls and racists arrive…"
Scotty, what's unfortunate is the very thing I pointed out in my first post; any truthful illumination on anything to do with the quandaries of the black community is met with loathsome hyperbole, and claims of racism.
So, in the interest of clearing the air of the allegations of racism, let me start by stating something that I thought unnecessary to do in the company of otherwise intelligent people; I'm black.
Now, back to the point I was trying to make…
There is much written about the plight of the black community in this country from many sources. Although it's hard not be sympathetic to the thousands of sad stories that are out there, I can't help but to point out that most of these stories aren't unique. In life we all have choices to make; and we make them based on the information we have at the time. The black community isn't ignorant to the fact that having children before you're ready or able to face the responsibility of parenthood is a bad idea. This assertion is flanked on all sides with empirical examples so great in number that one would have to be blind not to see them.
It's no secret that nearly every predicament in the black community has stemmed from the destruction of the family, and the values that emerge from traditional family life. I don't want to belittle the sincerity of their efforts; however, most advocates of the black community fastidiously hover in politically correct air and choose to only address symptoms instead of the disease itself. My assumption is that it's more important to avoid claims of racism than utter an ounce of truth.
John Morris says:
That pretty much hits the nail on the head. Race throughout history and seemingly very strongly in the U.S., is the topic you turn to when you don't want to talk about other subjects.
This is really why, I've felt intimidated and unqualified to do a big post about Root Shock. I'm not a scholar with a comprehensive knowledge and more importantly so little data or study has been done on the subject. This can't be an accident. It's just not a can of worms the powers that be want to open up.
From what I can tell from my reading and a certain amount of personal knowledge, the black community in America fit the pattern we saw among most "poor immigrant groups". They mostly migrated from the deep South, where they had suffered tremendous levels of oppression. Even, so within a relatively short period from say 1900–1955, they made amazing strides. The figures I think somewhat obscure the reality–in that new poor people kept piling in from the South. This is the typical story of the American immigrant.
Then, within a period of a few years, something dramatic seemed to start to go wrong. Usually, this is pinned on the loss of lower skill manufacturing jobs but this doesn't explain things right. Why didn't new jobs develop? What happened to the thriving and growing black owned business community? Why such a rapid turn towards social and family breakdown?
Government welfare programs may indeed have played a big role–but that was later. The biggest factor was likely the rapid destruction over a period of not much more than 15 years of the core of almost every major black community (Harlem is probably the exception) in America. Mindy puts the count at more than 1600 communities, including Newark's Central Ward, Pittsburgh's Hill District, the central core of Allegheny City in Pittsburgh.
In fact, she really understates things, in that urban renewal destroyed not just black communities but many of the most important central urban areas of the country, Italian areas (East Harlem) Jewish neighborhoods (East Tremont) and lots of places that were really pretty integrated.
It's very likely that the rapid decline of the Jazz music scene is because of this.
Anyway, this is a vast and important subject.
EngineerScotty says:
When this subject comes up, it always seems that two camps swiftly form:
1) It's all whitey's fault
2) It's all the fault of African-Americans themselves.In reality, it's probably a whole lot of both: Much things which occur in African-American communities are highly self-destructive–and yes, a large number of single-family households is one of them. OTOH, blacks face a whole host of prejudices (and have suffered numerous depredations over the years–including within the past century) which have not been visited on other minority communities.
This discussion reminds me of ex Atlanta mayor Andrew Young's unfortunate comments in praise of Wal-Mart several years ago–wherein Young undelicately stated a preference for Wal-Marts in urban neighborhoods over local merchants (of various ethnicities other than black), whom Young suggested were exploiting neighborhood residents by selling shoddy merchandise at inflated prices.
Many Wal-Mart defenders in other contexts (such as rural white America) often say essentially the same thing, without the racial component added by Mr. Young–that the Main Street merchants so beloved by Wal-Mart critics were overcharging customers to begin with. On the other hand, Main street merchants are frequently from the same community as their patrons, whereas the inner-city vendors Young was deriding were outsiders. One wonders how Young would feel about an African-American vendor who lived in the same neighborhood charging high prices for wilted lettuce, or an African-American who lived elsewhere, or a Korean who chose to live in the neighborhood–in other words, what defines the community in his mind?
In both cases, WalMart critics frequently note that WalMart enjoys such vast economies of scale, that mom-and-pop stores generally cannot hope to compete with it on price, and that in poorer communities, price is the only thing that matters. WalMart is careful not to engage in predatory pricing (by which I mean charging low prices in order to drive out competition, then raising prices once it is gone), which would be a red flag for anti-trust authorities, but its business model is such that it excludes a whole lot of other possibilities.
It seems that the shadow cities concept can work on neighborhood scale, as well–neighborhoods which neither house businesses attracting outside capital and customers, or whose residents lack well-paying jobs elsewhere–tend to die. And at the neighborhood level, death generally means degeneration into a slum–where no business wants to relocate, and nobody with a choice wants to live.
Alon Levy says:
Meh. The whole discussion about welfare is US-centric beyond belief. There are multiple countries with lush welfare without any of the social problems conservative Americans scaremonger about.
In general, a good rule of thumb is that before suggesting some explanation for the plight of black America, you should look at other situations where the same explanation applies, or at other situations where the problem you're trying to explain applies. For examples:
- Black America has received welfare. But so has Scandinavia – in fact, the welfare programs in Scandinavia are more generous than in the US and don't even require proof you're seeking employment.
- While black America has had a family breakdown, Hispanic America hasn't. The single motherhood rate for Hispanic Americans is barely lower than the rate for white Americans (Hispanics give birth out of wedlock more, but divorce less). So if Hispanics are suffering from the same
- Black America carries the scars of slavery, but so does black Barbados, whose performance on health and education metrics is (marginally) better despite much lower incomes.
- Blacks in the US have suffered from intense discrimination and from the uprooting effects of urban renewal, but so have Jews.
A good theory may apply multiple of those facts – for example, the mainstream explanation in African-American studies is a combination of slavery and discrimination. Alternatively, you could look at differences from the other situations: US welfare has such ghettoizing features as public housing and inner-city public schools, blacks are more visible than Jews and Italians. But you need to argue this – you can't just say something as obnoxious as "Every problem is traceable to ____." The world is more complicated than that.
Anonymous 4PM says:
"But you need to argue this – you can't just say something as obnoxious as "Every problem is traceable to ____." The world is more complicated than that."
Alon, as obnoxious as it sounds, it's actually just as simple as that. You have to understand that the past 3 generations of black Americans have enjoyed unprecedented growth in the areas of education and economics; however, these generations have also exponentially increased every negative social metric that can be tracked. As a bonus, all of this has occurred post civil rights era, so we're talking about the group of black people the farthest removed from the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow. In essence, we have to query factors that weren't present in pre-1965 black communities against those that are present now.
Since the marriage and illegitimacy rates for blacks was almost the same as whites up until the 1960′s, there's only one thing that comes to mind, and that's the installation of the Great Society. It first destroyed the black family by incentivizing mothers to trade in men for government, and then decimated it by absolving women of the responsibility to choose quality mates because of the government safety net. The result; a community where women saw no value in marriage, and men had no reason to be enterprising in the care of their family. It's the same thing that happened to Scandinavia.

Alon Levy says:
It's the same thing that happened to Scandinavia.
You know nothing of Scandinavia. Scandinavian countries tend to have high labor participation and low unemployment; they have the highest employment-to-working age population ratios in the world. Nobody wants to be on welfare. The Swedish guaranteed minimum income is $14,000, which isn't a starvation wage, but isn't middle-class income, either. So the effect of the guaranteed minimum income program has been to raise wages and encourage people to get higher education or training so that they can get better jobs. This hasn't happened in the US because welfare does not let you go to school: there's tuition, which is free in Scandinavia, and nowadays welfare-to-work doesn't recognize schooling as work.
While there are quite a large number of out of wedlock births in Sweden and Norway (I don't know about Finland and Denmark), this is because parents choose to cohabit instead of marry. The single motherhood rate is low, but it doesn't matter because single mothers' poverty rate is in the single digits.
Even if you look at US welfare, any correlation between it and social ills is incidental. If welfare made people more dependent and more asocial, you'd expect states like New York and California to have the biggest underclasses, the highest crime rates, the highest teen pregnancy, and so on. Instead, they all rank better than average on those metrics. The worst states on those social metrics are in the South, even rich states like Texas. I don't buy that the Great Society made people dependent, but then the extra programs in the Northeast and California made them less dependent.
John Morris says:

The result; a community where women saw no value in marriage, and men had no reason to be enterprising in the care of their family."
You are correct. The data and strong anecdotal evidence (like say the Teeny Harris Archive, for instance) show that a lot of the problems we now "associate with the black community" took off in the post civil rights era and were not that common before it. However, one missing link here is probably urban renewal itself as well as the general loss of huge amounts of manufacturing jobs.
The tearing down of hundreds of whole communities broke all the social and business links built up over generations and worked aggressively to separate people from easy access to jobs, retail and the basic services. In most cases the original loss of housing stock was never replaced.
If we take all of the basic benefits a dense, mixed use viable city offers to all it's residents for free. The stuff Jane Jacobs talks about and throw this process into reverse–this is what happens.
However, it's worse than that in that each failed "renewal attempt" in almost every case lead to more and more experiments. Anyone with a brain and a little observation can guess which areas not to invest in or start a business–the places the government considers "important", or "blighted" are going to be set aside for "connected developers"; urban planning experiments; highways, stadiums and parking lots.
Of course, many ethnic communities were damaged by these policies, but most were already much further along in terms of built up social capital and there's no doubt, that these programs targeted black communities.
The last 60 years has been a failed attempt to replace the normal bottom up, organic social order of civil society with government.
This is the sick joke. When, Hillary made her, "it takes a village" remark everyone knew she was talking about the government. But, in a lot of ways it does take a village and that's what the government tore down.

People everywhere are facing the realities of restricted water availability. Yet sustainable gardens and landscapes that use less water don't have to be boring. The key to keeping your garden beautiful and waterwise is intelligent plant choice. This practical and inspiring guide includes all kinds of plants — from trees to succulents, from perennials to bulbs — selected for their wide adaptability and ornamental value. And whereas most books on drought-tolerant plants focus on southwestern, high desert, or Mediterranean climates, the Ogdens cover both humid and arid parts of zones 4 to 10 and offer choices for gardens from coast to coast. Each of the 200 entries states where the plant is best adapted, along with its light needs, soil preference, and mature size. Well over 100 related waterwise plants are also mentioned, expanding your options even further. What's more, the authors tell why each plant deserves to be in gardens and suggest creative design ideas and good companion plants.
