In the Ohio General Assembly, each citizen is represented by a state representative and a state senator. The state is divided into 99 House districts and 33 Senate districts. State representatives listen to the concerns of their constituents and speak for them. They develop solutions to the needs of their districts through legislative action. State representatives work together, balancing the best interests of each state district.
House members attend many meetings of their local, civic, religious and business groups. Through these contacts and suggestions from individual citizens, state representatives gauge public opinion and develop proposals for changes in the state law. These proposals are prepared in the form of a bill and are then formally considered by the House of Representatives, the Senate and the Governor before becoming law.
Each state representative is assigned to several standing committees which meet weekly while the House is in session to closely review each bill. In committee meetings, they hear testimony from individuals interested in specific legislative issues. Often members are assigned to special committees or boards that investigate items of pressing concern, or they regularly review actions of state agencies. When a committee recommends a bill for passage and the Rules and Reference Committee schedules it for consideration, the bill then comes before the House for a vote. During the floor session, representatives debate the merits of the proposal. After the debate is closed, it is the duty of each member to cast a vote in favor of or against the bill.
Of equal importance to their legislative roles, each state representative also acts as a liaison between groups and individuals in their districts and state and federal agencies. This interaction empowers constituents by providing the personal assistance necessary to receive important services or benefits from the state departments and commissions.

Remember that prayer that became popular a few years ago? Still need a little help? The Prayer of Jabez found in 1 Chronicles 4:10! I thought about it today and it has always been a good prayer and still is today! It goes: "Bless me indeed, enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain."
Remember: God wants to bless you! Everything belongs to God and He has given you a great big universe to run around and serve Him in. He wants His hand upon you – so stop running away from Him. He is here to help you, not to hurt you! He wants to keep you away from evil, but you have to remember to help yourself. And when you do help yourself by obeying Him, you will free yourself, as well as others from a lot of pain!
I hope you have a blessed weekend!

What did we think of Kayne's "Runaway" video? High art or pretentious self indulgence? Here's what we got from it….
The opening scene finds Mr. West driving his Tatra MTX V8 through the woods. This represents a version of Kanye before his mother passed, before Taylorgate. The wilderness represents society as a whole, and Kanye's speeding through it with complete disregard for anyone or anything in it's path. The Phoenix crashing to earth is a physical manifestation of his career, his art, or even deeper, his soul, crashing and burning. This is a wake-up call suggesting he is living his life too fast. When he stops and gets out of his vehicle to approach it, he realizes he must slow down and re-examine things. "Runaway" is about Kanye rediscovering himself and finding his place in the world.
After she crashes, Kanye must nurse her back to health. And taking the form of Selita Ebanks, who wouldn't want to? Appropriately, Kanye begins to play a bare-bones version of "Power" on the MPC, literally injecting power back into his career. She begins to feel invigorated and the music – even in it's most stripped down form – helps her stand again, making way for her eventual resurrection. What he is trying to say here is that despite his personal shortcomings, his music is true art that speaks for itself.
The Michael Jackson imagery, yes, is Kanye comparing himself to MJ. In his interview with Sway, Ye described this scene as introducing the Phoenix to his world – the flashing lights, the fame, the glory that comes with celebrity. He is introducing the music to the music industry. Taken more symbolically, what this scene represents are the hooded masses praising Michael Jackson in death, when they crucified him in his life. Kanye feels this way. What he is trying to say here is, like Michael, one day people will overlook his flaws and celebrate his musical genius, but only after he is gone. The Phoenix is allured by the prospects of fame and glory.
The dinner scene represents Kanye's relationship with the hip-hop industry and audience. Here, he attempts to revive his art by reintroducing himself after a long hiatus, as he brings the Phoenix to dinner with him. The Phoenix, as a manifestation of his music, looks different than everyone else at the table. This represents Kanye's sound, which implements soul samples, live violins, and heavy lyrics, as opposed to the monochromatic, formulaic approach to hip-hop music that many others are taking. The other people at the table point and whisper in awe at Kanye's take on the art form, suggesting that yes, it is beautiful, but it goes against the grain of what the usual commercial hip-hop record should sound like. The line, "Do you know she's a bird?", suggests that you can't make hip-hop the way he does, as it does not apply to today's trends. A toast to the douche-bags is appropriate here.
Once dinner is served, the Phoenix begins to panic, because she is shocked that everyone at the table has no problem eating one of her kind. This represents the cannibalistic nature of hip-hop and the industry. An art form that once had a set of rules is now indifferent to commercialization and has no problem eating itself. The Phoenix is shocked at the table guests' nonchalant attitude to selling it's soul. Everyone leaves, and Kanye is frustrated and afraid nobody will accept his art in it's true form. The flames appear again, suggesting there is no hope and his career/soul/art will continue to burn.
After the ill-fated dinner party, we find the Phoenix distraught. She tells Kanye, "Do you know what I hate most about your world? Anything that is different you try change. You try to tear it down." She realizes that she must "burn", otherwise she will turn to stone. Kanye is confused, he just came from an industry party that told him that he cannot make music the way he wants to. His art tells him that it must be fully realized, otherwise it will be forgotten, and eventually shit upon by pigeons. Kanye realizes that ultimately, what he believed to be his career crashing and burning were just obstacles in his path. These events, while they brought him down temporarily, were integral to reigniting the creative fire that would shape his art to come. The Phoenix ascends to the sky, showing that his art speaks for itself, rising high above any industry set standards. Coming to this realization, he runs back to through the woods, with a new found sense of purpose.
"And what about fornicating with phoenix before she burns? How do you find those scenes, Pizzo?" – I too wouldn't mind yout take on this Pizzo. Thoughts?
Sleeping with his music? Fuck what you heard.
what can i say. Kanye is aware of his insane environment, and a brotha is seeking for his lost sanity.
If my music looked like that.. I'd sleep with it too.
Kanye is playing the ego and the phoenix is his id, himself. The concept of the id is that it is his unrestrained passion, while the ego is the id after reality has shaped it. Kanye tries to restrain his id (ref: reality principle) and show it reality. This does not work, his passion/id needs to be free, needs to remain unconscious. When the phoenix says she does not like how his world will not accept anything they do not understand, kanye is realizing that he doesn't want to make his art under other people's terms, judgments, etc. He just wants to do him.
I really enjoyed your breakdown, there are few to none well written posts re: runaway and I'm glad some people are getting it.
I have an answer for him fornicating with the phoenix. When we make love (as lame as that sounds) to someone we fully appreciate them. Every curve, every limb, their whole we take in and love it. I think that he's taking all of his music and appreciating it loving it

FBI probing city, church deal
The Ellis County Press
MIDLOTHIAN – Councilman Ken Chambers met with the Federal Bureau of Investigation last Monday, Aug. 10 to discuss the possibility of illegal transactions made by local officials.
The controversial real estate transaction surrounding the First Baptist Church of Midlothian and renovated for the police department and courtrooms involved Stephen Campbell, chief of police at the time, represented the city as the buyer who was a licensed sale's agent for the broker and William Foshea, who was representing the seller.
The original $1.5 million dollar contract saw two pages missing while Foshea received $36,000 commission.
The Texas Real Estate Commission verified that Stephen Campbell has a real estate salesperson license being sponsored by licensed real estate broker William Foshea during the course of the transaction.
According to the Ellis County Tax Assessors Office, at the time of purchase the value of the land was $82,000.
On July 30, Councilman Chambers had a meeting where he discussed the new Ellis County Appraisal for 2009 at $2.6 million, with their $1.6 million purchase price and the additional city funded $2.4 million in renovations totaling over $4 million spent with Don Hastings, city manager, Don Stout, city attorney and Bill Houston, councilman.
Stout approved the transaction and according to Chambers stated that the documents were in order and it was not his position to review the details of the transaction while further stating "he did not know that Steve Campbell was a licensed sales agent for the broker, William Foshea, who was representing the seller."
According to Chambers, Stout admitted during their meeting there would be a conflict of interest on the city's part wit Chief Campbell if the facts were correct.
The item was placed on the council agenda for Aug.11 where it was presented to the citizens and council.
Stout said nothing regarding the conflict of interest during this time.
The FBI is currently reviewing the information to decide if a criminal investigation is warranted.

"Iron is often packaged in chewable vitamins or in little pre-natal iron pills that are somewhat sugar-coated and quite frankly look like M&M's"
– Dr. Kathleen Nelson, professor of pediatrics
"How many of those vitamin pills did you take?" pediatrician Dr. Kathleen Nelson asks three-year-old Imani Salimu.
Imani answers, "One."
"Only one?" the doctor wonders. The little girl nods yes.
But, of course, it was not just one. Imani and her sister, two-year-old Raven, swallowed 20 or 30 or 40 vitamin pills. No one knows for sure how many.
"Are they the vitamins they take every day?" Dr. Nelson asks Teresa Tripp, the girls' mother. Ms. Tripp says, "Yes."
"Are they children's vitamins? Are they chewable?" asks Dr. Nelson. The girl's mother says yes again.
The problem is the vitamins were fortified with iron.
"Iron is a very, very potent poison and it can be quite serious if a child eats too many, or too much iron," Dr. Nelson says.
The girls are showing no symptoms, but a blood test is required to find out for sure if they are in danger. An iron overdose progresses over four stages.
"The first stage is one that is really the action of the iron on the intestinal tract. It causes stomach ache, vomiting and diarrhea," Dr. Nelson explains.
In stage two, the child is quiet and may seem perfectly fine. In stage three, liver damage can cause shock and the child will be very sick and profoundly ill. In the final stage, the iron causes scarring of the stomach and intestines.
Imani and Raven were lucky. Their blood tests came back showing elevated iron levels, but they were only in the high range of normal. Their mother can take them home with a caution from the doctor.
"It's important that parents recognize that chewable vitamins with iron can be deadly," says Dr. Nelson.
Vitamins are divided into three categories: water soluble, fat-soluble and minerals, and play a vital role in maintaining healthy bodies. But too many vitamins can be as harmful as too little. The most common symptoms of vitamin overdose are diarrhea, stomach pain and headache. In some cases, an overdose can even cause death.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends we get as much of our daily requirement of vitamins as possible from real food. The FDA sets specific levels for daily vitamin requirements. For a variety of health reasons, it is necessary for many people to use vitamin supplements in their diets.
In the U.S., iron poisoning is the most common cause of death resulting from poisoning in children. Supplemental iron can cause gastric irritation, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. Certain antacids may decrease the absorption of iron supplements.
In the body, each vitamin serves a different function and has corresponding deficiency symptoms:
The best way to prevent your children from overdosing on vitamins is to make sure they get most of the nutrients from their food. Monitor your children's diets and make sure they eat a balanced range of foods so they are not reliant on supplements.
If your children must take vitamin supplements, follow the label instructions and throw away any old vitamins. Make sure they never take more than the recommended daily dose.
The most common symptoms of a vitamin overdose are diarrhea, stomach pain and headache. Other signs to watch for include:
For children:
If you suspect your child has a vitamin overdose:

Rob Duke's comment, December 23, 3:56 PM
Of course, it's more complicated than this, but this is an important aspect of the problem. I haven't figured out the application yet, but Nate Silver's ideas about using Bayes' statistical model to solve complex social problems seems relevant here. A human characteristic is that we can quickly categorize facts and draw reasonably accurate conclusions; however, this also means that we tend to over-generalize. Quite often, this gets into trouble with latent race and classism, but, in this case, I think it's worked against the police as a concept. What I mean is that we tend to love our local beat cop and hate the concept of the police.
Rob Duke's comment, December 23, 4:04 PM
I generally agree with Jon Stewart (even though he relies too heavily on hyperbole). I think he's got this right, too, but one thing that's missing is that this isn't only about American cops, but even the poster ideal "British" cops; and, those French cops operating in an inquisitorial system with layers of checks and balances including having inspector judges accompany officers on serious investigations. So, what is the cause of our angst with police, if the problem crops up again and again across time and space? Here's two potential answers: 1. we don't have effective systems of dispute resolution between police and the communities they represent; and 2. we spend little or no time training officers on concepts related to power and the paradoxes inherent in the exercise of it--whether that power is the soft or hard varieties. Those are, of course, just my two pet ideas. As Dennis Miller said at the end of his monologue, "that's just my opinion, I could be wrong".

Mana Cost: 80
Cooldown: 35 Seconds
Comment: Mighty Swing is what makes you able to kill your whole enemy team on your own. With its splash damage plus your items you will be able to clear entire creep waves in one or two hits and deal insane damage to all nearby heroes no matter which one you focus.
Through some unknown property of matter, the Magnataur sucks all nearby enemies to a location in front of him and stuns them with a powerful slam, dealing damage.
Level 1 - Deals 150 damage and stuns for 2.5 seconds.
Level 2 - Deals 225 damage and stuns for 3.25 seconds.
Level 3 - Deals 300 damage and stuns for 4 seconds.
Area of Effect: 410
Damage type: magical
Disable works on magic immune units.
Pulls affected units to a random location 120-170 units in front of Magnataur.
Mana Cost: 200/250/300
Cooldown: 120/110/100 seconds
Comment: Reverse Polarity is one of the most devastating and game-breaking ultis in DotA. Pulling off a good Reverse Polarity can decide the entire team battle. It is however, very hard to pull off with its 410 area of effect. 4 second stun infront of you is no laughing matter for the enemy team.

Claymore + Broadsword + Perseverance
Battle Fury is gotten after Blink Dagger because it gives you huge damage burst from its Stacked cleave with Mighty swing. It also gives HP and mana regen which allows Magnus to spam spam spam!
Early Game:
Okay, so now you have chosen Magnataur. Your sole role in the game is the initiator. Do not be afraid to be the first to go in battles, otherwise, this is not the hero for you. Not only can Magnus initiate, he can also support allies by buffing them, he can gank well, and he can also play the carry role .
Now to see the Magnataur's strengths and weaknesses:
- Has a spammable high damage nuke for farm, harass and push
- Good base strength meaning high base damage
- High stregth gain per level (2.75+)
- Decent Ganker
- One of the best farmers in the game
- Extremely good pusher
- Amazing synergy between skills
- Amazing lane control
- Game-breaking Ultimate
- Dependant on Kelen's Dagger for the low of AOE ulti
- Low mana pool
- Has slow attack speed
We will center on fixing the weaknesses of Magnus later in the guide.
Early Game Strategy - Solo Mid Magnus
I bet most of you will be thinking, "What the hell? Magnus solo mid? Are you crazy?!"
The reason why Magnus has amazing lane control because of his spammable nuke Shockwave. Not only that, Magnus has high base strength and fast attack animation, meaning easier last hits, and being able to survive multiple harass from enemies.
Early Game Objectives:
- Control your lane
- Acquire as much runes as you possibly can
- Gank (optional)
- Farm that Blink Dagger!!
Starting Items
In public games, where you can rely only on yourself, buy an Animal Courier. It is important to get your bottle as fast as possible!
As for other starting items, it doesn't matter really.. Magnus has high base strength which means he can last hit easily in his lane, and can also tank a bit of harassment. There is no "set" starting item build, go whatever build you normally use. As long as you have your courier, that's all that matters in this section. The main point is that you farm that bottle asap so that you can outfarm, outharass, outlane your opponent.
Starting items to consider
Justification: Self explanitory. You need regen to survive in your lane.
Stat Items:
Justification: Stats help you with HP, Damage, and Mana.
Magic Stick > Magic Wand:
Justification: If you predict that the enemy you will face in your lane is a spammer (Zeus, Bristleback etc.) then you can consider getting a magic stick. Later on, you can upgrade it to Magic wand.
Empty Bottle (800 starting gold only):
Justification: If you saw my first guide, then you would know that I'm against getting a Bottle as a starting item. But I'll make an exception. With Mag's nice starting strength, bottle can be accepted as a first item for early rune captures.
The Laning Phase
This is it. After you bought your items, tell your allies you want to "Solo mid". Ignore their flaming and rage about your desicion. As long as they let you solo mid, then there is nothing to worry about. Level up your Shockwave and head off to mid.
What are the key points to soloing mid?
1a. Learning Shockwave
If you've noticed in Magnus's skills information, Shockwave at all levels cost 90 mana. This shouts out "spam"!
Before you go to your lane, you must know what the range of shockwave is:
The image above shows the Casting Range and the Actual Range (length) Shockwave reaches.
The length of the red box from where Magnus is, is the length of how far you can click in order for Shockwave to be casted. The yellow box shows how far Shockwave reaches from where Magnus is. Anything inside the Red and Yellow box will get hit by the 150 AOE of Shockwave.
1b. Shockwave --> Farm --> Harass!!
Now that you know how to use shockwave, we can use this technique. This is Magnus's MAIN technique to rule his lane. This technique involves farming and harassing at the same time with just one shockwave.
Here's an animated image to show how this is done:
- Wait for an enemy creep to reach low HP (enough to finish it off with a Shockwave)
- Get in a position where you're in a Parallel line between you, the creep, and the enemy hero
- Aim shockwave between that parallel line (make sure not to click above the cast range)
- Cast shockwave and earn some cash while harassing the enemy!
Comment: At the stage where you only have level 1 Shockwave, try to last hit as much as you possibly can until you hit level 3. Sure, you can use a bit of mana with only level 1 Shockwave, but just hold back a bit. Save a bit of mana until you level 3. When you have level 2 Shockwave start spamming like a mad man!
2a. Rune whoring
This part of the early game strategy is VERY IMPORTANT! Please read this section
What is rune whoring anyway? Rune whoring is where you race your enemy to get the runes. Runes are extremely important for Magnus in the laning phase because even though your Shockwave is spammable, there will be a time where you won't have mana left. This is when you know you have to Rune whore!
How to Rune-whore with Magnus:
Step 1 - Checking the DotA Clock
If you want to beat your ally to the runes, the first step is to check the DotA clock. Runes spawn every 2 minutes (2:00-->4:00-->6:00 etc.), so you need to be aware when the runes will appear.
Step 2 - Push the Lane with Shockwave
What does this have to do with Rune whoring? This is actually an important point that most people don't know. When the DotA Clock reaches around xx:40 second mark, start pushing as much as you possibly can! Why? Because your enemy has to defend at tower against your creeps while you can start walking to a rune location to grab the rune.
Step 3 - Walk to the Rune (XX:45)
When you see that there is 15 seconds left until the next rune spawn, start walking to a rune spot. If your lucky, the spawned at your side! If it spawned on the other side, and your enemy doesn't notice, then get it whenever possible.
2b. Acquiring the Runes
Now that you know when where and how to get the Runes, it's time that you need to know how to utilize them. Some runes are useful to Magnus, whereas there are Runes that work extremely well with Magnus's skills. So that's what we need to focus on when acquiring Runes.
Illusion - Is great for mind games. Send an illusion in as if it were the real Magnus and watch your enemy waste their skills on the illusion. It doesnt really synergise with Magnus much so I mostly just bring each Illusion to the different rune spots to scout.
Double Damage - Helps better with last hits. One hit on an enemy will deal a ton of damage. If you pull off a good ulti, you can activate the DD rune from your bottle and whack him 'til he dies.
Regen - This rune is very very useful rune for farming and also heal up when you've been dealt a ton of damage. A good trick is to save it in the bottle, spam as much Shockwaves as possible, then once all your mana is depleted, activate the Regen rune!
Invisibility - This skill gives great synergy with your Ulti. It helps to position yourself at a good place where you can pull off a good Reverse Polarity. Great for ganks. Also remember that you can use one bottle charge straight after you've activated Invisibility. It won't affect the fade time.
Haste - Grants you maximum speed (522ms). Imo, the best rune for Magnus. Haste can be used for escaping, but most of all, he can pull off an easy Ulti with your speed boost. Not only that, you can tower dive no problem if the enemy is close to dead and moving towards his tower.
3. Ganking (Optional)
At early game, Magnus can't gank that well. Because the small AOE of Reverse Polarity makes it hard to pull off, therefore high chance of a fail gank. And Magnus doesn't have any reliable disables that can make him an effective ganker. But ganking can be still easy.
Easy? How?
- You still have that high nuke of yours Shockwave which can deal lots of damage and/or finish off a dying hero.
- Know your allies. You could have allies that have disables, which helps you to gank successfully.
- Also powerups such as Haste/Invisibility can help you achieve a successful gank.
But ganking is not as important as farming that Blink Dagger. So this is optional. If you're 100% certain that you can achieve a successful gank then do so. If not, then go back to your lane and farm that blink dagger. Because that is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT!
Reverse Polarity
Through some unknown property of matter, the Magnataur sucks all nearby enemies to his position and stuns them with a powerful slam, dealing damage. 120 second cooldown all levels.
Level 1 - 2.50 second stun, deals 150 damage. 200 mana.
Level 2 - 3.25 second stun, deals 225 damage. 250 mana.
Level 3 - 4.00 second stun, deals 300 damage. 300 mana.
Before knowing how to gank, you will need knowledge of Reverse Polarity.
Reverse Polarity is an AOE stun that (when inside the 410 AOE) drags your enemy in a random 120-170 AOE infront of you. Creeps get stunned longer than heroes.
This is the Area of Effect of Reverse Polarity:
This is the AOE of Magnus ulti. Anything inside this red circle will get stunned and dragged in front of Magnus. Be aware of the AOE size when casting this. It looks kind of big, but it's hard to pull off than it looks.
Aftermath of Reverse Polarity:
This is where the enemies will be dragged after Magnus casts his Ulti. It's in a small AOE infront of magnus.
Gank or No gank?
After acquring a rune, don't go back to your lane straight away. Check for any opportunities of an easy gank. Now that you know everything about Reverse Polarity, you now have the option of ganking or not ganking with magnus early game. Don't gank if you're not 100% certain if it will go as well as you expected.
Main Item to Aim For
Blink Dagger
Dagger should be gotten to end your early game. This is the most IMPORTANT item for Magnus throughout the whole game. This item helps Magnus initiate, which is what his main role is for the team. It's main use is for positioning yourself to cast a perfect Reverse Polarity in battles. Can sometimes be helpful for escaping trouble, but it's not reliable for that.
Now let's cross out one of our cons since positioning is not a big issue for us anymore..
Boots Upgrade
vs vs
So which Boots Upgrade best suits Magnus? The answer is: Power Treads.
Why? If we look at the Cons, what Magnus lacks is attack speed. He also lacks mana pool which Treads can fix (Change to Intellegnce Treads). Also Magnus has high base movement speed (315ms) which means Magnus doesn't really need more added ms than just the treads. And best of all, Power treads is the most cheap out of all upgrades and has the easiest build up.
Now let's cross out another one of our cons since slow attack speed is not a big issue for us anymore..
Early Game FAQ
1. Why stats over Empower and Mighty Swing?
Mighty Swing is useless early game because you don't have enough damage for the cleave to be noticeable. So we can take that skill out. So lets compare Empower between Stats. Empower helps to last hit. That's pretty much it. Stats however, gives you more damage (which also helps to last hit), gives more HP, but best of all gives you increased mana pool so that you can spam more Shockwave. And spamming more shockwaves means better lane control.
So in conclusion: Stats>Empower>Mighty-Swing
We can now cross out our last con since mana early game wont be much of an issue now
2. Why not get Perseverance instead of bottle? It gives HP/MP regen and upgrades to Battlefury later on..
Bottle costs 600 gold whereas Perseverance costs 1800 gold. Both have the same benefits, but bottle is much much cheaper and also allows you better lane control with runes. And you cannot afford to waste money since you need your dagger asap!
3. What about Arcane Ring? Can that be an alternate item to Bottle?
Same answer as the above question. Plus the burst mana heal is overkill. Shockwave costs only 90 mana!!
End of Early Game Strategy!

Mau MausHi Baby Horsemen,
The Mau Maus were indeed a very tough crew. They were from Ft.Greene and were allied with the Chaplains, not against them.
Perhaps you were thinking of the Bishops. The Mau Maus were bitter enemies with them.
There were also the Marcy Chaplains and they were also brother clubs with the Mau Maus
sutter LordsYes I heard of them. In fact was one of the members.

Railroad Boy's colors
Does anyone remember this emblem?
Moonbeam, I grew up on Fulton, between Rockaway and Stone Ave. 1947. I remember the Chaplins,going to Franklin K Lane, High School in the 1960's. There was many of them. I remember a guy named Elmor Cunningham, Robert Taylor, Red from Covert St. and Broadway. We used to hangout in Jr High School 73, on Rockaway and Sumpter St. Do you remember the Sugar Bowl candy store? where all the white boys used to hangout at. Things were different in those days. We would fight all night and then go to school with eachother the next day and play football. Hit me back, I'll talk to you soon
Interviews wantedHello all,
I'm a writer living in Brooklyn (Windsor Terrace), and I'm writing a magazine article about NYC gangs before the 1980s. I just stumbled on this discussion, and it's really fascinating -- exactly what I'm looking for. Would any of you be interested in sitting down for an interview with me, if you still live in the area? e-mail interviews are possible,too, but not nearly as good. I would have to do the interview by Thursday, 8/24, so this would have to happen in the next couple of days.
If you're interested, or know anyone who might be, please post here and/or contact me at benbwhiteATgmail.com or (347) 451-1247.
Thank you very much,
Ben White
Our Lady Of Good CounselI was born and raised between Jefferson and Greene and Ralph and Reid. I heard of all the gangs mentioned but never joined any, I had one or two buddies Tony Armstead and Ronnie Altman Any body hear of theses guys. I have a friend who speaks of gangs from Brooklyn around 15th Av & 60 th St. Any info on them. U think one was called the Monarcks.
the bleeker boyshow about the famouse bleeker boys from ps 81 on bleeker and cypress ave.they are now a great a bunch of guys living great lives.its to bad these days we don"t have more of these gangs than these idiot gangs of today.the gangs we had in our neighrborhood those days protected our neighborhoods not destroy them.
Halsey Bops / Ellery BopsMy name is Bob Conti. Born in 1947, raised on
Jefferson Street (between Knickerbocker and
Irving ave) in Brooklyn. The gang we on my block
mostly identified with were the Ellery Bops.
Someone mentioned in an earlier post that their
dad named and started Halsey Bops in 68 or
therabouts. The truth is, Halsey bops were in "full
swing" in the late 50's or for sure by 1961. I know
because we hung with a few of the guys every
night. We sang doo wop on the street corners and
Jefferson st. train station. Made out with our girl
friends in the hallways and basements, went with
our crab traps to Canarsie pier.. good times!
robbie dupreeHi Robbie, You recorded a great album some
time back. I tremember "Brooklyn Girls."
I think you are a great songwriter and singer! I
was in a group called "The Brooklyn Dreams" for
a while. You probably know the guys "Joe
Esposito, Bruce Sudano, Eddie Hokenson.. I sing
and play percussion, currently with Jose
Feliciano. What are you doing these days? You
are a great talent.

Halsey Bops Bob Conti is of course correct when he notes that the Halsey Bops were in full swing during the 50's into the 60's. Charlie the person who speaks of his Dad as one of the original leaders and one who coined the name "Halsey Bops" also notes the origination was in the 50's. Bob must have read it wrong. Now - we all agree.
Fulton and RockawayDoes anyone remember the Sportsman's Cafe on Fulton and Rockaway - under the El? Also, I remember a guy called "Sinner" who was a Halsey Bop or Tot.
Halsey BopsHaving been a member from 1958-1962, a lot of the names i recognize. Thus far it looks like my pal george f has the best recollection of facts. We were the Jr's during that period. george f, donnie f, ed & john h, lenny a, joe b, joe g, tony p, richie & ronnie z, fritz, foxy, big al, banyaz, richie l, and many more that i'll eventually remember. The tots were rabbitt, gorilla, magoo, fontanna,and quite a few more. The sr's were larry f, bobby w, gino l, whitey kenny , larry m, and others.
Fact; john G was a member of R&F at that time when our paths crossed.
Halsey BopsTony - Magoo - Gorillia- Monkey - Philly B . Billy Cross - Gorillia was the war council for the Halsey Tots. This is Quinny had to leave in 59.
st martin of tourswent to saint martin's between 1966 to 1974

he died 1999.

pics of the Halsey bopsCharlie,
Do you have these pictures downloaded to your computer. I would love to see them.
Highland ParkHello,
My father was a prominent member of Highland Park.I suppose i just wanted to see if anyone remembered the name. His name was Richard Smith but he more than likely went by Rick or another shortened version of the name. my E-mail is email@example.com. I'd love to hear any stories or just know that someone remembers who he was.
gangsI GUESS THIS BLOG SITE IS CENSORED SINCE
WERE IN THE GANGS, halsey bops, etc., who
still bragged that their gang was the best,
the roughest, the most courageous, and the
most protective with respect to keeping the
roving gangs away from a particular block
At the time, when I lived there, the kind
of guys who joined gangs were mostly in
the double digit IQ CATEGORY,or, were in fear
of being attacked by a rival gang and they
needed that protection.
Now, all these years later, I have found
you and want to say if you take and took
delight at being a member of a marauding
gang, you should rethink this attitude
because it was dumb then and is dumb now.
None of my friends on Eldert Street belonged
to gangs but they were not fainting violets
either. there was even a distant relationship
to the Mafia on the part of one or two
members and this word was generally out.
therefore, we were never attacked.
When i left the block in 1965 and went
overseas, i found an entire world, generally
speaking, without gangs. That was a wonderful
I would prefer to hear that BBs were in gangs
but, now mature, looked back at that period
and rejected their past actions. As for
bragging rights as to what gangs they
belonged to, in spite of the fact that
we are a free country, (try not to pay your
taxes), to see nostagia re: gangs, gang
fights, power, brawls, turf protection,
if you don't reject that stuff, you have
not changed. gerry studier
sportsmans cafeMambo my grandad William "Rico" Halsey had a crew
called the Sportsmans club. My dad grew up in kingsboro
with the Corsair lords. He (Rico) was a rough dude and
worked in a Resturaunt in Coney Island back in day when
the colorline was real. Some "the family" came to funeral
in 67' and offered my dad and uncle assistance for the
"work" their father had done. It was told to me( 40yrs
later) on a construction site by a "brickie" ( a stonemason )
John Gotti was a Sportsman, Iam not claiming no rep but
back in the day the streets had a special code and it
wasn't easy to be in the scene. Better yet you might as
well had been a little crazy- thats what I heard. Rico also
came from Harlem and collected funds on the docks after
ww2 with his brother. One of his good friends was Adolf
Ceaser the actor. That was the life of a Sportsman.
to GeraldGerald you are an idiot. Kids belonged to gangs because it was the thing to do and be accepted. It was part of the times. A gang was really a fraternal organization. Not everyone was a thug. A lot of us grew up to be productive adults with careers and raised families.
Halsey BopsI remember the "Halsey Bops"!!! I lived on Eldert Street from 1950 till the Summer of 1964. I remember as a child, watching them and other rival gangs fight in front of the schoolyard across the street from my house! They would beat each other with pipes and baseball bats, and they would actually be bloody! But growing up a "city kid", I learned early on that when we saw something like that brewing, I was supposed to go up on the "stoop" and stick close to home . . . not go near them! Someone would yell "rumble!", and it was ON! I also remember going to Halsey Street Park, where they had a wading pool with sprinklers, which was a BIG treat for a city kid in the hot Summer!
GeraldHaving been a member of HB's from 1958-1962, I question some of the half ass remarks that were made. During those times that was a way of life. Jesse James was a thief and a Murderer and today he is idolized. G Bush got us into a situation that doesn't appear he can get us out of, yet there are people that still belive him.I recently reestablished contact with a few of my comrades from that era. You would not believe what they have become. One is a retired College Professer, One is a VP at a NJ College, One is a senior VP at a car rental agency, One is a Real Estate Broker and one is sitting on a $10 Million real Estate profolio, in "the old neighborhood".
Not bad for the thugs you talk about. I wouldn't give up those times or those friends for anything.
ElleryFrom '58 to '61 I ran with Ellery. Not the big guys from down on Ellery Street or even the guys from Knickerbocker Park. I was too young at the time. We were part of Ellery but we were too young to be Ellery Bops. We stayed in Grove Street Park and on Central Ave & Menahan St. We fought with Halsy in the winter time and in summer we teamed up to fight the Saints. We constantly fought with The Stompers and The Flaming Saints. That was a time when the worst weapons had were chains and pipes. There was rumor that El Quinto, (arch enemy of the Ellery Bops) had a gun but we never saw one. Nobody ever died and the worst wound I ever saw was a knife wound.
It was a fun time and I loved it. Today I'm a CPA and a grandpa. Not so bad for a gang member.
