Thanks Gabe! I loved that!
well there goes the chocolate croissant. Thanks for the pictures HauntedGabe. I suppose the coffee will be better than the junk coffee I've purchased there and at other vendors. Uh, hopefully they will prepare the coffee and not just hand me a cup of stale coffee so I can struggle with little packets of sugar. I experience the same thing the first and last time I ordered coffee at the drive-thru at a McDonalds and they handed me a stirrer and a bunch of sugar packets. I told them that's why I"m in the drive-thru because I'm driving and can't open a piping hot cup off coffee (as the warning signs point out) and then open multiple packs of sugar, pour and then stir while driving. To me that's an oxymoron and why some q-tip hasn't sued, I'm surprised.
Again, thanks for the pictures HauntedGabe. By the way, have you ever been to Disneyland?
Thanks Gabe! I loved that!
This is a point I have challenged you on, with facts, several times and you have chosen not to address it.
They may have more projects going on in a single park, but they are not completing them any faster than anyone else. This is a mythology that I wish you'd stop perpetuating.
Please visit my new DISNEY AUTOGRAPH website to check out my autograph collection!
Really Walt? Disneyland is MY land? Why would I want a silly little land when I can have the WORLD.
He shoots.
He scores.
Simplicity in motion...
Universal finished their City Walk rehab and expansion, their water area all while Disney was bulldozing for the Wharf. I still don't see a Wharf or anything that resembles a rehab of Pleasure Island.
Disney announced Avatar, Universal Harry Potter 2.0. I'll pick Harry Potter 2.0 to finish before Avatar finishes. I cannot support that Universal drags things along like Disney does. 2017 Avatar target date, I have not seen any announced project at Universal with 2017 target, only Disney.
Disney had a Grand Opening and a Ribbon cutting for an expansion that was half complete, that is how Disney FL finishes first, they just don't finish and call it a Grand Opening have a photo op. There are construction walls from one end of the FLE to the other and they broke ground almost 3 years ago.
Test Track wasn't exactly timely either. Closed mid April with reopening of late September, then November, then finally in December. But hey, they did better than originally when it opened two years after it should have.
Now you have a Bakery that just doubled its rehab time and that is just a bakery/coffee shop.
Wizarding HP Broke Ground and completed in 2.5 years. No fake ribbon cuttings for a half done project.
The expansion of HP, 2.0 started in early 2012 and is target to finish late 2013 or early 2014. At the same time Disney announced Avatar would go from a projected date of 2015 to 2017.
I see a pattern.

Now everyone, we're talking about the "happiest place on earth" not the timeliest place on earth. I will mention how they do crowd control into and out of the park sometimes. One afternoon they pulled the monorail out of the Grand Floridian, like about 20 feet, and then stopped and the monorail sat their for almost half an hour while I did suffer standing in a cab cram packed butt to butt, it was hot in there, uncomfortable and unacceptable. Most recently they stopped monorail service early or whatever that night and held us on the ferry boat for a half our so they could pack every last warm body on. But the point i'm making is they seem to have a Disney time frame for all sorts of things but its definitely geared to whatever is behind the motive of their thoughts. And to beat a dead horse, at night they now rope off a whole section of the monorail. Just don't let no one drive backwards, or forwards or something, but I'll stop I could go on about that.
With the prices they charge for anything from cotton candy to ... you would think budget certainly couldn't be an issue as far as their construction projects, but who knows. I think a lot of Tomorrowland could be updated and they could add to it, but given the discussion here, that would probably won't happen in the next 10 or 20 years, but I seriously think Tomorrowland is somewhat Yesterland. Laughin and Stitch should definitely go, go, go and be gone. Buzz, seems like a work around compared to Toy Story. That people mover takes me around the same circle, that works for Disney, but not practical. How about a functional people mover with a purpose to move people around from one side of the park to the other, or a Monorail that is an "attraction", like Disneyland, inside the Magic Kingdom. These are just pipe dreams because Disney will never do that. WDW is still running Monorails that are not the latest when you look at Disneylands Monorail, which brings me to the NEW Monorail Spiel. Why? If Disney is running S.O.P. then why not leave the spiel as it was, sounded just fine. I would rather have a New Monorail than a new spiel that lacks luster and sounds nothing like any of the previous spiels. If this is the new voice of Disney, all I can say is I'm not feelin it, but hey I don't own the park and maybe they conducted polls and other people like it.
The construction that produces the never ending revenue is the DVCs.
The congestion to/from the TTC should get a tiny bit better soon. They are building a 3rd bus loop for Guests to go to other parks by bus from there instead of heading to TTC and then transferring to a bus. Further they are making areas for double buses for large resorts. Many people drive especially to the MK because the buses often reach capacity. The monorail is just not reliable anymore. They are currently trying to install an auto drive system, still will have a Pilot but much will be taken over by the computer. We will see if that helps. It still wont be Cali. Then the rumor fired up again this year about a monorail extension to DHS for the monorail. It be great but I'm still not buying into that one, that is a ton of Disney Dollars for guests convenience and I'd be surprised if the bean counters would support that.
I kinda like Buzz. Toy is a long wait, it loads way too slow, it is fun and queue themed nicely but I'm sorry I can't believe Disney built a new attraction with such a slow load capacity guests per hour. My favorite ride like this is
Men In Black at the "other" park.

I haven't been to the "other" park. Men in Black sounds interesting. I really know very little about the "other" park. My son has put in for the "other" but right now WDW Premium Passes, BG passes and LLF passes is enough. One of these days will go. I've been trying to win that trip to DL Cali but I'm not holding my breath I got caught up in the pin thing for about a second, went to every pin kiosk, store etc at every park looking for the monorail pin, duh, finally I asked, where is this pin and they said, um, only the monorail pilots get them, lol. I lost interest quick.
That's interesting, autopilot. I need to get over it already. If I want to ride up front, I"m going to have to move to Orlando and apply. I always look when we approach the Magic Kingdom at the rail going back wrapping around the Magic Kingdom that leads to the Monorails home. I've seen pictures, but it would be neat to see it for real. But again, somethings like that I will never get to see.
I did read a rumor about DHW but I never put much stock into it either for the reasons you stated.
I was talking to one of the new pilots or to be pilots one night and I was asking him why I see monorails parked out on the Epcot loop and he said that sometimes they have to sit there for hours and said that they climb down the latter, but that didn't make sense, but then again, its just nerdy curiosity, but then all my phone ring tones and notifications are different sounds from the monorail I edited for my personal enjoyment. One afternoon we were at DHS in the cartoon drawing class, and I completely didn't even think to turn my phone on silent, and it rang, "beep beep beep. Please stand clear of the doors...." The teacher and everyone were puzzled for about 2 seconds until they realized it was my phone and then everyone laughed, but I was embarrassed.
I like the way they split the trams into two sides, however, I've noticed that it seems guests wait longer to board one coming in and at night the same sometimes, but I guess that's more streamlining and cost savings.
How about Tom Sawyer's Island after dark. That would be fun.
This might be off topic, as if I haven't already, but for some reason I seem to remember when I was about 5 or 6 and we rode the Jungle Cruise, I swear I recall either real actors when you get to where the natives are or somebody was working for some reason out there or I have something confused with BG which no longer exist either, but I swear it was the Jungle Cruise.
I'm glad our family was able to ride up front in the monorail for years. I don't know how comfy I'd be now. My DS friend forever, since 3 months of age was a pilot that awful night. Still so thankful it wasn't him. He is no longer a pilot by choice. So haunting. I am waiting for Disney to redevelop Tom Sawyer Island, a nice chunk or real estate.
I don't know about the Jungle Cruise, I don't remember that however we have Albino Pygmy as a member and he was a skipper, he is in the service so he only pops in here and there but you can try shooting him a Private message for when he does pop in. I'm racking my brain, what does BG stand for?

I was able to ride up front when I was a young child and wanted to share the experience with my son. I'm glad your friend is okay. It was a horrible tragedy! Horrible, horrible! The family and the Disney family it must have been and be difficult. Since my intent was to share that experience with my son, I had originally planned to go that day, my birthday, so who knows we might have been riding up front since I would have been determined to ride up front, but I changed my plans and decided instead to wait about ten days later, which we did, of course by that time my son was very concerned at his age then, about riding on the monorail at all given the accident had just happen.
Yes, Tom Sawyer's Island has some extra potential. Would like to see it open at night. could be more caves and more adventurous in probably so many ways.
BG is Busch Gardens. Sorry.
Thanks, I will see if I send them a p.m. to see if they recall anything about the Jungle Cruise.
A post of mine from last year (feel free to fact check this):
What Was Disney's BIGGEST Mistake?If you ever decide to pull your head out of your hindquarters, this would be a much easier discussion to continue.
1. Pooterville was NOT an entirely new land. It was built mostly using an already existing area of the IoA park. The Dueling Dragons had been there for years, and years. The Flying Unicorn had ALSO been there for years. Oh, and as for your blazing fast time frames for all things Universal. The Flying Unicorn is what was refurbished into the Flight of the Hippogriff. How long did it take. Two years!
2. Pooterville was announced in January 2008, and opened in June 2010. Around 30 months, using two existing attractions as the centerpiece.
3. FLE was announced September 2009, and will officially open in December. Roughly 40 months using absolutely no existing attractions. Unless you want to count moving Dumbo.
As for the time frame on Mine Coaster, since Universal hasn't built a new roller coaster since 2000, and it took them 2 years to refurbish that one, I wouldn't crow too much if I were you.

Lazy trained seal here with a few more facts...
Again, FLE "Grand Opened" not even CLOSE to finished.
And, what does it consist of? Pretty much a Mermaid rehash, a restaurant, a meet and greet, a kiddie wet area, one more dumbo, and a roller coaster that who knows how far off from completion it really is.
Also, go back and check a certain Test Track refurb thread (sorry, too lazy to provide a link or copy/paste) where you poo-pooed any of us who dared doubt Disney would complete it by it's set deadline of last Sept. We all know how that turned out.
Disney has the biggest PR machine this side of anywhere and it's obvious they snort up their own Pixie Dust with an upturned nose WAY too often these days.
Keep it up Disney...all the while, whether they like it or not, a LOT more Guests are starting to notice the issues.

I'll refrain from trading personal insults because it takes away from the topic at hand and I actually find the practice icky at best.
Disney still can not break ground or refurbish on the time table that Universal does. The facts and timelines support that. FLE, Test Track and Starbucks demonstrate the difficulties Disney has with timelines. While I grant TT was a big project, it was mainly the queues and post with a change of decor within the ride itself. Fact, the ride experience, track inside and out pretty much stayed as it was so the physical experience is the same, just a visual changes for the ride experience.
Storybook is built on mostly repurposed land, Goofy Coaster didn't even move, fact. Dumbo was moved and a new Spinner built, it is very pretty but still just a spinner so Story Books totally new draw is the New Splash area, the one with the fence around the engine to keep children from interacting with Casey. Dumbo creeped into Tomorrowland property up against the Indy track. Tents that were repurposed stayed exactly where they were also though enhanced so the post above was not completely factually correct.
A chunk of FLE was also repurposed, the area next to Pinocchio's where the refreshment area was, the Ariel grotto splash area, Dumbo past home, Pooh's thoughtful play area and more of that area from 20K. I don't have a problem with Disney reusing land or attractions it is resourceful when done well. So very much like Universal Parks Disney does take advantage of previous infrastructure to speed along construction.
What we cannot forget or ignore is FLE is far from Complete. I believe that is a fact. Snow White is still boarded up, a greet that is also being repurposed from an attraction to a greet area, Dwarf isn't complete and neither is the restroom area near the Haunted Mansion. I believe that is also factual. The fact is that Disney had a pretend Grand Opening for an expansion that still had a very long time to go before the shovels are put away and the construction walls disappear.
I believe my facts are correct about Avatar 2017 and Disney's Wharf construction stall out after demolition started. I did not see the Wharf when I visited. I saw the pretty concept art but if the Wharf has been built I'd love to see pictures.
My opinion is Disney does not maintain their attractions the way they use to though they are slowly trying to fix some of the neglect. My opinion is Disney cannot stick a shovel in the ground and finish a project big or small as timely as Universal currently can. Imagineering future expansion projects in my opinion is getting worse, Disney put away shovels for announced projects like Avatar now being further delayed from 2015 to 2017. While they are my opinions they do not lack obvious facts. I am impressed with Universals Parks new HP expansion that will have several new attractions. Universals ability to demolish and go vertical in the same year and will likely complete those tasks in 2 years from announcement, demolition, shovel, grand opening. Transformers and Simpsons broke ground in the fall of 2012 and will likely open around the same time as Harry 2.0 so two years or less. Hopefully Disney can have a real Grand Opening for FLE by the time Universal latest new attractions come on line.

HP Pavilion dm1-4108au Entertainment Notebook PC support
Using Microsoft System Configuration (Windows 7)
This document pertains to HP and Compaq PCs with Windows 7.
The Microsoft System Configuration (Msconfig) tool is a Microsoft software application used to change configuration settings, such as which software opens with Windows. This document explains how to use Msconfig to resolve problems with the computer.
View a video of the Microsoft Configuration Utility
Using Msconfig to troubleshoot software issues in Windows 7
Msconfig helps Windows control the software that automatically loads while Windows is starting. For troubleshooting purposes, use the following steps to prevent all software programs from automatically opening when Windows starts.
CAUTION:Use the following steps to prevent all startup items from opening, including antivirus software and other software that provides important functions. Follow these steps for troubleshooting purposes only. If preventing all startup items from loading resolves the problem, you can use the Startup tab ( see following section) to prevent an individual software item from loading.
- Click Start, and then type msconfig into the Search box. Click msconfig.If you are prompted for an Administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.The System Configuration tool displays.
- Click the General tab.
- Select Selective startup, and then remove the checkmark next to Load startup items.
- Click the Services tab.
- Select Hide all Microsoft services, and then click the Disable all button.
- Click OK.
- Restart the computer for the changes to take effect.
- If you find the problem no longer occurs after you prevent all software from loading, you can use the startup tab to try and find the exact software title that is causing the problem. Select all but one title from the startup tab and restart. Continue doing this, deselecting software and restarting each time until the problem no longer occurs. Uninstall or prevent software from loading that cause problems.
- When you have finished using the System Configuration tool, open it again and select Normal startup. Click OK.
General tab
Use the General tab to prevent specific software applications from opening with Windows. The following selections are on the General tab:
- Normal startup - instructs Windows to open all software applications that are normally scheduled to start with Windows.
- Diagnostic startup - starts Windows with basic services and drivers only. With this mode, you can determine if a basic Window file is the problem.
Boot tab
The Boot tab shows configuration options listed inside the system information file. Some options in the Boot tab follow.
- Safe boot: Minimal - Disables networking. Boots to the Windows user interface (Explorer) in safe mode, running critical system services only.
- Safe boot: Alternate shell - Disables networking. Boots to the command prompt in safe mode, running critical system services only.
- Safe boot: Active Directory repair - Similar to minimal safe boot, except the Active Directory is enabled.
- Safe boot: Network - Similar to a minimal safe boot, except the network is enabled.
- No GUI boot - The Windows splash screen is disabled when booting
- Boot log - Stores all information from the boot process in a file.
- Base video - Boots to Windows user interface in minimal VGA mode.
- OS boot information - Shows each driver name as each driver is loaded during the boot process.
- Make all boot settings permanent - Changes made in System Configuration are not tracked. If you want to make changes later, you will have to do so manually. Selecting Normal startup in the General tab will not work if this feature is selected.
- Timeout field - Using Msconfig can cause the operating system selection screen to display for thirty seconds; as a result, thirty seconds is added to the overall startup time. To prevent the operating selection screen from appearing for thirty seconds on startup, change the timeout line in the Timeout field to zero.
Services tab
The Services tab lists the programs that start when Windows 7 starts, or are run periodically by Windows. Enable or disable programs from starting by checking or disabling the checkbox next to the program name.
Startup tab
The Startup tab lists software applications that open automatically after Windows opens. It also shows their current status (Running or Stopped). Disable individual software applications by removing the checkmark next to the name and path.
Do not disable the following startup items except for diagnostic purposes only:
NOTE:This list is not comprehensive. For a more thorough list of software tasks, refer to Preventing Programs from Opening When Windows Starts .
- HD Audio Control Panel
- hp digital imaging - hp all-in-one series
- HPRun
- hpsysdrv
- HP Total Care Advisor
- Microsoft Windows Operating System
- NVIDIA products
- Symantec Technologies products
The following is a list of some of the types of software applications that open from the Startup tab:
- Anti-virus software - Disable Anti-virus software only when troubleshooting. Make sure to enable the Anti-virus software when finished troubleshooting.
- Keyboard managers - Disable to prevent the extended multimedia keys and volume control knob from working.
- Systems tray icons - Disable to prevent a software application tray icon from displaying on the systems tray (next to the time).

Heartbreaking Video Shows "The Thug Cycle" Continuing
Folks…this video is bad.
Really, really bad and it will make you angry.
It contains extreme profanity and discussion about adult situations and gang violence…and worst of all…a toddler.
Viewer discretion is strongly advised.
So a loyal follower alerted us to a local thug's public Facebook page today.
She was outraged about what the thug had just posted for all to see.
We here at OmahaPOA.com viewed the video and we knew that despite the fact that it is sickening, heartbreaking footage, we have an obligation to share it to continue to educate the law abiding public about the terrible cycle of violence and thuggery that some young innocent children find themselves helplessly trapped in.
Here it is.
Now while we didn't see anything in this video that is blatantly "illegal", we sure did see a lot that is flat out immoral and completely unhealthy for this little child from a healthy upbringing standpoint.
Listen to the discussions this child is immersed in.-Sexual discussions.
-Gang discussions.
-Violence. -Profanity
The thug that posted this video indicates in a subsequent comment that the child is his nephew.
You can clearly hear at least two other adults in the background as well, one being a female.
A man can be heard asking the toddler, "what hood you from?".
We can only assume that the female voice is likely the child's mother, and if that's true that means she actually allowed this behavior to occur.
We refuse to give this thug any notoriety or attention, and as much as we would love to publicly shame him, we will keep his identity private.
If for no other reason, for the sake of his nephew.
So what did this thug's Facebook friends think about this?
Well see for yourselves…
2 people actually "liked" it….
And the "comments"?
Well….they speak for themselves…
Folks….soak this in.
You are literally watching "the cycle" of violence continue right in front of your eyes.
A powerful cycle that must be broken if we ever hope to get a handle on violence in Omaha.
A powerful cycle that the police alone cannot stop.

Naza, Your comment is ignorant and comical. Low key Racism? Where? Do facts about a segment of society and how out of control it is relating to crime and lifestyle bother you? You know nothing about me, my record, or what I have been through. If you did you would eat your words. You unfortunately, are just another naive individual who sees the world through rose colored glasses and has not been exposed to what is really happening in these environments. I would love to take someone like you in a patrol car for a few weeks in these neighborhoods to deal with these gangbangers and criminals just so YOU could see how they really are. Your naive attitude would change. But maybe you are one of them? Ask yourself if you know? Who is doing the majority of the drug dealing on the streets? Who is doing the majority of the robberies (many very violent)? Who is doing the majority of the drive-bys? Cities are cities. I don't have to know Omaha, it has nothing to do with it.

LaToya Watson-Taylor says:
This whole ordeal is sickening! As a professional, I see a lot of finger pointing and no resolution to the problem:
-from a legal perspective, no laws have been broken. While we may not appreciate what has transpired, none of this warrants arrests of any kind.
-from a social child/family services perspective, there isn't sufficient evidence to assume the child is at-risk of physical abuse or some type of negligence.
However, from a moral standpoint, cops have an obligation to "protect and serve." We are ignorant to believe their role is to selectively choose whom they will protect and whom they will NOT serve. That is not the type of officer I'd like policing my community. We all agree this family is in need of services, "education" (i.e. parenting, decision-making, etc.) and various supports to facilitate sound child-rearing.
I read the caption of this "thug" and how the ways of the adults were beyond reproach, but I'm confused as to why there was no mention that in addition to showing us the video the officer contacted the adults and connected them with services that will show them how to appropriately parent or counseling to assess why the adults seem to be ok with behaving badly in front of children. The display of the video does perpetuate the stereotypes people have toward blacks; so, without contribution to the solution, you (OPD) are continually contributing to the problem. The same is true with social services. The solution doesn't have to result in removing the child from the home; it could simply be a visit to the home to assess how the family can remain intact while gaining proper parenting skills and services to aid in positively contributing to the community in which they reside.
This nothing new! We all know this type of behavior exists in homes. We should be more upset with agencies, organizations, politicians, and even law enforcement who have the ability to impact our lives, our community by taking a closer look at their roles and whether they are or can be effective!

This wasn't some hidden family movie that was taken from the evidence room and plastered. These "Adults" were proud of what they were doing and was posted before. Now the race card is pulled because it just so happens to involve an African American family and members of law enforcement. The police have the obligation to protect the community from violence and injustice, no matter what the color, race, class and especially age. Would the "community leaders" like Wallace, Chambers and Jackson etc, rather the police turned a "blind eye" to this vile treatment of a black person? Why Aren't these so called "leaders" coming out and telling their community that this behavior to our future generation is unacceptable and detrimental to what we are trying to "change" in our community. They should be embarrassed by the parenting and condemning it, not running to the aid of the adults, but to that child. The Leaders failed. They failed that child, they failed their community and they failed how to allow the rest of the world to see what "positive" actions they serve.

I just got done helping my 8yr old son with his spelling homework, and this little boy is being helped into jail or the grave by so called adults. Made me really sad to see this but I know that this and much worse is being done every day to children of EVERY color. I am a 45 yr old white father of 4, and I'm not racist at all, however it is a statistical fact that a majority of crime in this country is committed by African Americans which is the reason for so many black fathers,sons and brothers in prison. There are a number of different arguments as to why that is (such as money to defend themselves with better attorneys, profiling by a ROQUE racist officers and many others) but this video should INFURIATE the black community. I'm not foolish enough to think that this only happens in black households because it happens in households of every race, it's not a racial thing, it's a child abuse thing. But anytime somebody black is caught committing a crime or perpetrating a wrong doing somebody ALWAYS pulls the race card. Yes, racism is alive and well I know, but wrong is wrong and pulling the race card on this shameful video is ridiculous. Labeling all black people "thugs" is also ridiculous, but in this case they are just that, THUGS, and they happen to be black. I feel very sad for this little boy and any other children in that household that are being taught to be a gangster before they even had a chance to live. Face it, now that Obama has broken the presidential racial barrier that little boy could be a future president, a brain surgeon, a carpenter or even a police chief but being raised like that his chances of being any of that are slim to none…he will be a victim…hell he IS A VICTIM ALREADY!! Children are innocent and don't "see" color, yes they know that there are many races and people look different but racism is taught. If you view this as normal then no offense but you are morally bankrupt. I hope they get him out of that situation fast. Someone needs to show that child some LOVE, if I lived close and were given the opportunity my wife and I would in a heart beat, as I'm sure many of you would too. Good luck little man, there is more to the world than what you are being shown……
Pingback: Omaha Police Post Video of Cursing Black Child 'Thug Cycle' | HEAVY
George Spears says:
You may want to check out this Omaha PR person's opinion on how the police union could have better handled the minor child cursing video. http://sternprnews.com/2014/01/08/opinion-omaha-police-union-video-toddler-thuggery/
Mark Johnson says:
As a retired SoCal detective I want to commend the Omaha association in there attempt to educate the public with this video. This behavior and mentality in the black community is all to common and innocent kids unfortunately grow up hearing this language all the time. Having worked in the hood, projects, and having dealt with the gangbangers I know they are like cockroaches and live as such. And people wonder why there is so much black crime and things are so dysfunctional. Sadly, this kid doesn't have a chance. I always get a kick out of the crowd that yells about "police brutality" towards blacks. They have not a clue. The ones who are really brutalized are the police when you have to work in these environments. Little statistic true to this day.. I worked in a city that averaged 120 robberies a month. Average… 80% by blacks, 15% by Hispanics, 5% by whites. If black crime was cut in half many cops would be laid off. People always yell racism or this type garbage without walking the walk or having to deal with this crowd. Far to many blacks who are decent and law abiding are held captive by a total breakdown in there own race.
naza peru says:
You know nothing about Omaha and your racism is apparent, nothing less than what I expect from any California officer. The cockroaches are the meth heads that rob and destroy, but they are white.
Mark Johnson says:
One other item, you are correct about the cockroaches who are doing meth and some are white, just as Hispanics generally use heroin and meth, and blacks cocaine. These drugs though do cross all racial lines. But whites are not generally robbing. Burglary or theft to support their habit yes. But this whole debate is not about whites who are caught up in the use of meth. I have no time nor sympathy for most of them either. But you can do yourself a big favor.. don't be so quick to play the race card. That is getting old just as is those who quickly throw out bigot, homophobia, and all the other nonsense.
Noell Taylor says:
The police cant use this as an excuse of why some police do wrong things to that are against the law the video is wrong and not all blacks raise there kids like that and racism still exists. I feel like this is wrong not funny teaching a innocent child about gangs drug's sex and cursing but I do think the adults should start being accountable because it is children abuse to me but not against the law its very said I love to curse as a child I was cursed out and allowed to curse but im raising my own and I don't allow that shit even if they think they are going to get away with it. history repeats its self but its up to us to change that I also feel like blacks don't have as many opportunities to be successful and this shit needs to stop people needed to find better things to do instead of acting like a fucking fool its very said. my daughter's will not bring no thug home to me because I teach them there worth there loved protected and respected and will respect there self and others and educate there self I wouldn't date a man our want to be around a man like his uncle or the other people in the back ground. everybody want to be a thug and don't even know what a thug really is just like I seen videos of white boys fighting calling each other niggas what the fuck is the world coming to it must be close to the end to much bullshit is going on people of all races need to git it together thinks for sharing but I've seen it all don't have time for people and there ignorant ways I don't care what race you are
Noell Taylor says:
The police need to do there job and start cracking down on the violence in omaha instead o helping people posting dumb videos I cant even count all the cold cases in my family
Daisy says:
I am literally sick to my stomach. How dare the media (JANE VALEZ MITCHELL) attack the Omaha poa when they found this video ALREADY POSTED ONLINE!!! She obviously left out some very important facts. The Omaha poa blurred the child's face whereas the scumbags that originally posted this video did not!! The Omaha poa should be praised not condemned by "certain groups."
Now that this is exposed to the world, I hope and pray that Child Protective Services removes that child and any other children in that evil, vile, disgusting, place they call a "home." There is no hope for that child if he continues to live among the filth he is constantly exposed to.
Those THUGS need to be hunted down, prosecuted, and spend the rest of their lives behind bars where they belong.!!!!!

The word "thug" has nothing to do with the color of your skin.
Anyone can be a "thug".
It means a criminal.
The police did nothing wrong.
But so many want to blame the police, instead of these people posting this sick video.
All we may be able to do is pray for that baby boy.
He even looked scared too me. Everyone was laughing at him. It looks to me that that could also bring low-self esteem to this child.
Just wait and see what happens to him.
He'll be able to use all these posts on the web in his criminal defense, do to his up bringing from a young age. And we do nothing to stop these people around him? So very sad!
Good Luck Baby Boy! I'll pray for you!
Rebecca Standridge says:
And what are you going to do Omaha Police to help this poor child? This is obviously child abuse and if you don't do anything to help him you are GUILTY as well.
Scott Humphrey says:
Inconceivable but important to see. You should have blurred out the baby's face, but we must see the unbleeped version to fully comprehend. This is how Al-Qaeda grooms toddlers to grow up as terrorists. This is how the KKK grooms toddlers to grow up as murderous racists. This is what Hitler envisioned for all young German children to prepare them to be good Nazi adults. Most "normal" humans couldn't imagine that this kind of thing happens, but clearly it does. We need to see this in all of its horror. How can such exploitation of a child not be illegal?
Ben Cemoli says:
I understand why the child's face is blurred out but why censor the usernames of all those fine upstanding citizens making comments on Facebook. Presumably their mighty proud of their ghetto comments so why take away from their fame.

Not one word was mentioned about race except for the people in this video saying ni**er. And the upstanding people in this video made reference to thug life… so I would think you would be annoyed at the idiots in the video and certainly not the people who are appalled at this crappy behavior!!

Pingback: Political Rift » Police Union Posts Video Of Swearing Black Toddler To Explain 'Thug Cycle'
Y J says:
Well, OPOA, you've done yourself no PR favors with this one. I don't live in your city, but allow me to make some (kind) observations/recommendations in case you wish to employ this social media public relations tactic in future. Additionally, I have forwarded my complaints to the FBI to encourage you all think critically about how you handle the ethics of your PR, and jobs, especially when they feature endangered children(!).
What boggles my mind is that rather than standing up as a voice for the protection of children, the OPOA's communications team has engaged in the visual, media exploitation of a child by caregivers; caregivers who clearly need a visit from Child Protective Services (CPS) so that they can be taught, encouraged, engaged, and supported as responsible child caregivers.
That's right, you have exploited a child by forwarding this video to your viewers without even a thought of the additional harm you could be doing to him as a consequence. Even more disturbingly, you protect the identity of the originator of the video while showcasing the victim, without a single word indicating what you've done to protect the child (the victim) featured.
Speaking of additional harms, it is very troubling indeed when one considers how much obscene media featuring exploited children the FBI arrests criminals for and the OPOA's actions in this regard may leave a lot to be desired and questions in light of the fact that there's no statement regarding what the OPOA did to protect the child other than continue his exploitation and endangerment on its own http://www.omahapoa.com website.
While this child is not naked except for a diaper, he is clearly being exploited for entertainment purposes by questionable caregivers. But, the OPOA decides to share the video rather than make an inquiry/arrest in collaboration/liaison with your CPS colleagues, keep the video as evidence in subsequent legal proceedings and present a press release describing your heroism and protection of children? While I'm not in law enforcement, it does indeed seems to be troubling and poorly reflects the adherence/development of the OPOA's actions in support of child protection polices/procedures. Unless, OPOA is not telling us something heroic and awesome they've done to improve that child's life.
Let's be clear here: This is a child, who could not have knowingly given their consent to either be video taped, nor have that tape shown in public. However, the OPOA further diminishes, if not obliterates, it's own ethical legitimacy by also sharing the video without noting any actions taken to support the claim you are publicly shaming the Uncle "…[i]f for no other reason, for the sake of his nephew." How about a court date and the local news for a PR strategy? What does this mean in the face of the OPOA's obvious omission to anything other than negligence? Did you mean for the safety, protection, and successful cultivation of his nephew? It seems something like your feigned and professed value and protection of children rings hollow given the points I've outlined above.
Lastly, did it not escape your attention the different optics/perspective/views and comments that could be engendered by your posting of this video? The fact that this is a black child in a low income neighborhood (from the sounds of it) who should be given every shot at success or engaged to learn all he can to love and be productive in life along with his family if possible. Further, it says a lot about the racial make up of your audience (Omaha is 73% white, so OPOA must be what?…hmm). It would seem to me that the OPOA would not demonstrate their caring attention with the unethical posting of a clearly troubling video.
OPOA's seeming dereliction of child protection service, underscored by the show casing of this video. has not only suggestively shown that it, as an association of law enforcement professionals, doesn't care about the safety and future of this child in its community, but that the OPOA could have also, even more profoundly disturbing on a moral level, shown every other potential child exploiter with the electronic or social means at their disposal, how to locate this child who clearly may suffer from fewer protections/resources his family unit, much less the sincere protection of the OPOA and Child Services, could provide.
So, this isn't only racist because you featured a black child who deserves love, safety, and a secure environment in which to grow up to grow up like any other child of any race (N.B. I haven't seen or heard of any OPOA videos via Gawker demonstrating endangered white children showcased in such a fashion), but because you obviously, by your own admission, in the statement justifying your actions, show you don't care about the welfare of children, except to shame their people who've been irresponsible and shameless in the first place? Gotta think about that one, guys.
More bewilderingly, you've engaged in the effective monsterization of a child, which in a few years time your statement predicts will become a thug, for the additional exploitative purposes of justifying wrongheadedly why the OPD or the OPOA is needed, should be paid salaries and benefits, for the role it should perform: idly watch while an endangered child becomes a cultivated "thug" without assuming any of your legitimate, ameliorative, child protective responsibilities in the matter.
For these reasons, this is a #PRfail, and I'm disgusted. Don't try again, OPOA, because this is a child, not a side show for your entertainment.
young thug says:
Yes, the man filming this video, the people in the room, and his facebook friend are trashy people. But this type of behavior is a symptom of poverty and policing doesn't solve poverty. Throwing people in jail, especial for the insane amounts of time sentenced here in the US, only exacerbates the problem.
I grew up in New Orleans and went to some of the worse schools in the country surrounded by people like this. I could have easily ended up like the "thugs" you mention. I didn't because I was exposed to a positive environment because my aunt and uncle were both doctors. That's how you break the cycle. You show these kids there is more out there than the idiots they are surrounded by, not by throwing their fathers and mothers in jail for decades.
Anthony says:
What does solve poverty then? I'll tell you that I don't think anything the government is doing is helping either. I'll tell you that the music industry isn't helping either. I'll tell you that it starts and begins with those bringing children into this world.
There are so many people who don't bring children into this world for the right reasons and the only one who suffers is the child themselves. Not the parent (who often gets tax incentives), its the child.
The only way this changes is by communities taking a stand and lets face it, that's not happening because the good people in poor communities our outnumbered/gunned by the bad people.
But thinking the government, tax-money, or police for that matter are going to change it by themselves, its not probable. Only thing our law enforcement can do at this point is protect the good members of the community and do as much to educate the others as possible. But you can't blame them or the law for locking up people who do violent/illegal things.
joe rogan says:
The truly sad thing is the trashy website 'Gawker" is using this story for click bait to enflame their readers.
They have a lily white urban demographic that foams at the mouth for stories they feel are "racist". While the demographic of their readers( and said readers neighborhoods) is overwhelmingly white and affluent and never deals with the sort of thing you are fighting to clean up.
Keep up the good work, and look into how they are misrepresenting your words on their site. I'd really like to hope it breaks the law in some way.
eugene busa says:
Its sad about the up bringing of the children today and even more sad that some people blame police & gov agenceys for it. eye opening and very sad…
tamatha sullivan says:
Nooooo accountability! Bad choices, breaking the law, bad parenting, drug abuse, poverty, violence etc. etc. Blame, blame, blame! It's an endless cycle and it makes these comments so annoyingly ridiculous! Adults are responsible for their own choices and should be held accountable period……..I'm soooooo tired of people making lame excuses for others not have ANY morals or values! This video is sick! This child will grow up to be just like the people raising him if not worse. And our tax money will most likely be paying for him when he gets incarcerated down the road unless he is removed from that kind of environment! So sad!!!! There are people who are poor or who live in bad areas who are religious and/or teach their children to be decent people and to make good choices and when they don't they can't blame anyone else but themselves!!!! Stop with all the freaking excuses!
D D says:
Anthony says:
Well said!
Samantha Stott says:
I don't care if these people are black, white, or flipping purple, what is happening in this home is complete negligent parenting. If the adults want to sit around and talk like a bunch of uneducated ignorant fools so be it, but to teach and encourage an innocent child this type of behaviors is disgusting! I wish the OPD would allow the public to see the individual who posted this so we all could be the voice for this young innocent child!
naza peru says:
This is sick, horrible…but your low key racism is much worse. "The Thug Cycle," really! That Levering/Jenkins three part article has everyone looking to point a finger.
Let's look into some things since you all have the time:
1. Why wasn't Krueger's ex-husband that was also incarcerated with Jenkins ever investigated?
2. How did Niko get at least 15,000…who gave him the cash, why no investigation?
When the OPD gives a damn about the black community that is when the black community will respect the OPD. Why don't you link the video of the police department raiding the homes of a neighborhood, looking for the video that showed their brutality against unarmed black young men….that would be interesting.
Anthony Mainor says:
Why did they have to investigate the ex? He obviously wasn't the suspect. And yes "thug cycle". Did you not listen to the video?? He's set trippin, "what hood you from?" "Duece nine"
Think before you play the race card.
naza peru says:
If you are a detective and this man has been in jail for 10 + years, receives over $10,000 and was incarcerated with the ex-husband…that screams something to me. But let's put the blinders on
naza peru says:
I did think and I did my research. The mother is 16 years old and the boy is probably the same age.
Thug Cycle is being used in a racist way.
Definition of Thug
Thug, a common criminal, who treats others violently and roughly, often for hire
Thug, proper noun, a member of the former Indian cult Thuggee
What part of that definition has the terms that you are using? Own up to your blatant racism, take the time to think about that.
Dan Larsen says:
Sickening job security!
D D says:
Really? No, sickening video!
Stop blaming the cops!

The big, wide world of Windows 8 hardware
13 new Windows machines that aren't Surface RT
By Alex Cocilova | Techworld | Published: 17:44, 25 October 2012
Microsoft's Surface RT tablet has been consuming our daily news cycles lately, but there are plenty of other manufacturers fighting for attention as we approach the Windows 8 launch day on 26 October. Luckily, Microsoft's partners (we can still call them that, right?) are all providing some truly unique and intriguing hardware options. They're not getting the attention of Surface RT, but who knows, maybe one of the following 13 machines is really the new Windows device to beat.
Toshiba Satellite U925t
Like many of the devices on this list, the Satellite U925t is hard to define. Similar to the Sony Duo 11, I would consider this a slider-hybrid. The 12.5-inch HD touchscreen slides back and reveals a spacious back-lit keyboard, transforming it from tablet to ultrabook. It comes packed with an Intel Core i5, 128GB SSD, SD reader, HDMI, USB 3.0 and a full version of Windows 8. All this at just over 3 pounds and under an inch thick.

They have presented programs throughout the United States and appeared on television shows such as Dr. Phil. Their greatest gift to caregivers has been the publication of the Coach Broyles' Playbook for Alzheimer's Caregivers, a simple, practical book that provides a "game plan" for caring for someone with dementia.
Other highlights of the day-long symposium include sessions on managing difficult behaviors, progress in Alzheimer's research, the use of mediction, getting a diagnosis, legal issues, and handling grief and sorrow.

National Hub Screen (Photo: Business Wire)
National Office Furniture, a brand unit of Kimball International, Inc. (NASDAQ: KBALB), has launched mobile initiatives making its products and collateral easily accessible on mobile devices, especially on tablets. National becomes the first manufacturer to have its entire portfolio loaded into the mobile edition of The KITS collaborator™. Plus, all of National's collateral including images, price lists, brochures, animations, sustainability information and more are now available on the National Hub.
KITS Mobile picture or standard setting. (Photo: Business Wire)
Developed by Toronto-based software and services company KiSP, Inc.,the KITS Mobile app creates photo-realistic renderings in a client's actual space in a matter of seconds. Simply take a picture of a space, drag desired National products into place, and the app will scale the furniture giving customers a first-hand look at what their new space could look like. The highly intuitive app enables users to select and configure the furniture in the space and also change colors, materials and finishes. User-friendly functionality offers users an easy experience in changing and grouping products allowing for rapid visual space planning and quotation. This new process reduces the time spent going back and forth on a project when sharing electronic ideation and configurations.
"KITS Mobile is all about the speed of business while delivering an excellent visual, interactive and sharing experience. Manufacturers, dealers and designers need the right mobile tools to be as efficient as possible in today's tight-margined marketplace. Having National on board gives KITS users access to thousands of sustainable, innovative furniture solutions. National is a solid partner to keep moving KITS forward," said Rob Kendal, Owner and Managing Director, KiSP.
Separate from KITS, but an integral part of an overall mobile strategy, National launched the National Hub providing on-the-go access to all its collateral to ensure that dealers, designers and facility managers can easily find the materials they need and navigate them via a couple taps and swipes. This eliminates the need to carry a briefcase full of marketing collateral and a laptop; all you need is a tablet and an internet connection. National rolled out new iPads to its entire selling organization and equipped them with KITS Mobile and the National Hub so they can deliver the extraordinary experience expected from National.

While many folks unwrapped boxes stacked underneath their Christmas tree Tuesday morning, several couples were celebrating with presents that were delivered differently. Our Beth Croughan has more.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- Dressed in red, newborn baby Victoria Elizabeth is wheeled down this hallway in Saint Peter's Hospital. And the one making sure she gets to mom safely, is wearing red too.
"Thank you Santa. It is a Merry Christmas," said Rachel Domarew.
In addition to making his way down many chimneys on Christmas morning, Santa found time to visit a few hospital rooms and drop off "presents" for several proud parents.
"Truly a tremendous Christmas gift for us this year," said Rachel Domarew.
Victoria Elizabeth is the first baby for Rachel and Chris Domarew. She was born on Sunday. And so was Briella Jerome of Rensselear.
"It's surreal. It's kind of like magical. Kind of. Kind of speechless," said mom Monica Goss.
And it's the day before Christmas that both Kaitlin Marie Henderson and Tovah Hannah Merrifield-Moon will call their birthdays.
Merrifield-Moon is one of two Christmas Eve babies for this Schenectady mom.
"It's pretty incredible. I didn't plan it this way, it just ended up working out that way. They're the best presents I could ever really get," said Channon Moon.
And for the nurse working alongside Santa Tuesday, the morning was a gift for her as well.
"It's priceless. I mean you're involved in the birth of new life into the world and the parents are full of joy and anticipation and excitement," said Registered Nurse Nancy Chevalier.

The Washington Power clinched the Eastern Division title with Saturday's 19-12 win over the Philadelphia Wings at the Capital Centre.
Although it is possible for the Wings to finish with the same record as Washington, the Power win the division based on the better division record.
Kip Fulks jump-started the Power offense with goals at 53 seconds and 3:54 of the opening period. Gary Gait made the score 3-0 at 6:09, off the third of brother Paul's seven assists.
A goal and two assists by Ryan Traynor helped the Wings stay within striking distance at 5-3 through one quarter, and unanswered tallies by Tom Marechek (1:43), Jeff Ratcliffe (3:13, 3:41) and Tom Slate (6:14) gave Philadelphia their only lead of the game.
The 7-5 advantage was short-lived, however, as the Power exploded for four goals in a 1:21 span and 10 in the last 7:32 of the half. Matt Shearer led the charge with a power play tally at 7:28 and even-strength goals at 8:03, 10:00 and 11:53. Bob Horsey and Josh Sims rocked goalie Chris Sanderson with goals at 8:35 and 8:49, and Brian Reese added a tally at 13:07.
The Power finished the quarter with a flurry of three goals, by Del Halladay at 14:00 and Paul Gait at 14:35 and 14:51 to leave Washington with an insurmountable 15-7 edge.
Paul Gait was the game's high scorer with six goals and seven assists. Matt Shearer scored four times, Gary Gait finished with two goals and four assists, and Paul Cantebene dished off for five goals.
Ratcliffe, who scored nine times against Ottawa last weekend, collected another four goals against the Power. Tom Marechek also scored four, and Kevin Finneran contributed five assists.
Both goalies, Washington's Devin Dalep and Philadelphia's Chris Sanderson, finished with 33 saves as the Power outshot the Wings 52-45.

Assessing the Drug Burden of Bipolar DisorderPsych CentralFebruary 5, 2014
New research discovers a diagnosis of bipolar disorder is accompanied by a significant medication responsibility for patients, with more than one-third taking four or more psychiatric medications. Weinstock found bipolar patients accrue a high burden of prescriptions each with their own side effects, with often unknown interactions, and with a complexity that can result in not taking the medications as prescribed. This medication burden also includes high overall cost to patients and the healthcare system.

Places of Invention tells the stories of historic and modern communities where people, resources, and spaces have come together to spark inventiveness.
Invention hot spot:
MIT and Cambridge, Massachusetts, during the Second World War

The region surrounding Cambridge, Massachusetts, is known today as a vibrant place of invention. But an earlier hot spot started to form there in 1930, when Karl Taylor Compton became president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He transformed the curriculum, raising the profile of science and promoting research partnerships with government.
Compton found a kindred spirit in Vannevar Bush, an electrical engineering professor and mentor to his students, and he named Bush the first dean of the new School of Engineering in 1932. Though Bush left MIT in 1939, he and Compton continued to work together, most notably when Bush became chairman of the newly established National Defense Research Committee (NDRC) in 1940, and later, the Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD).
As World War II approached, the links between MIT, the federal government, and the military grew stronger. The campus bustled with a growing network of inventive people and new and expanding research laboratories. Three of these--Charles Stark Draper's instruments lab, the Radiation Laboratory, and Harold Edgerton's strobe lab--contributed directly to the war effort and illustrate how the work of Compton and Bush turned MIT into a hot spot of invention.

Action Bronson Continues To Cook Up That Hottness
Dope piece on Action Bronson from The Montreal Mirror:
"Speaking by phone from iconic Left Coast producer the Alchemist's Los Angeles home, Queens, NY-bred rapper Action Bronson—one of 2011's most unanimously embraced emerging underground hip hop acts—is quite audibly miles from home.
"I'm just lampin' right now on the beach, smokin' a joint," he says breezily. "It's beautiful over here, it's like 70. It's prime weather. In New York, it's fuckin' snowing right now, I just heard."
True to his name, though, he's not on holiday down there.
"I'm not even sure what day it is. I'm locked in right now, I'm locked the fuck in on some music shit. Being at this guy's house is some next shit. It's just like, wake up, eat, rap, sleep, shit, rap, you know? The wind (here) hits you differently. You inhale different. It's like a load is off, you're so laid back, you can just work."
His first album, Dr. Lecter, is one of the most talked-about rap records of the year, with his love for hip hop, haute cuisine, ladies and ganja being the order of the day.
A chef by trade, Bronson—who only began rhyming three years back—now complements a lifetime in the kitchens of NYC with this promising new career path. A collabo record with Boston production maven Statik Selektah drops mid-month, while the Alchemist project is nearly complete. Globe-trotting is, as a result, his newfound passion.
"It's an amazing thing. If anything comes from this rap, I can just travel the world. Like, I really don't give a fuck, 'cause I can do other things, but travelling the world is something that is obviously great if someone pays for it, and fucking pays you to come there. That's the most important to me. I've been outta the country before but not like this."
Son of an Albanian ex-pat father and a "Brooklyn Jew" mom, Bronson's sound was forged in hip hop's front yard, but he doesn't pay much mind to the new stuff, other than to mention New York's upcoming talent with a nod of respect.
"I listen to the same shit that I been listening to since the 90s. No new albums have really come out that, like, hit me. Actually, I haven't bought an album in years. The last one I bought was the second Raekwon album, the Purple Tape, Part Two."
Much has been made of Bronson's knack for referencing fine foods in rhyme, but he assures would-be listeners that the buzz he creates is no mere gimmick, offering a live show as his piece de resistance.
"I'm actually most comfortable on stage. My breath is perfect," says the mic phenom. "I don't usually rhyme with a hype man or anything like that. I just let everyone hear it raw. The shit is impeccable. I pride myself on the show. If I don't put on a good show, I'm upset at myself.
"I'd rather be somewhere fuckin' serving a guy some beautiful cuisine," he admits. "But the rapping skills, they precede themselves, and the cooking skills do the same thing. So it's not a gimmick."
"And you know, if you don't like it, I dunno what to tell you. You wanna fuckin' challenge me to an Iron Chef match, you can do that."

Whoops I have just broken the Hunting Act - see you in chokey

I thought that mouse hunting was exempt but rereading the Hunting Act 2004 I see it is only rats that I can hunt with the dogs, not mice. So shall I ring the police up and turn myself in?

Folding Unfolding hydrophobic collapse conformational entropy intramolecular H-bonding H-bonding to solvent (water) van der Waals interactions Contributions to the Free Energy of the reaction, U-->N: -200 kCal/mole +190 kCal/moleThus the net free energy of folding is 10 kCal/mole.
In the classic refolding experiments by Anfinsen, it was shown that the information specifying the active conformation of ribonuclease A is contained in the amino acid sequence. Since the native state was achieved by either of two refolding paths, the native state lies at a global free energy minimum.
Assume there are three (3) possible conformational states for each residue and that it takes 10**(-13) sec to interconvert between each state. For the 100-residue polypeptide, there are 3**100 [or 5x10**47] possible conformational states. Assuming a single unique native state conformation, it would take (5x10**47)(10**(-13)) sec = 5x10**34 sec or 1.6x10**27 yr. This absurd result clearly shows that protein folding does not occur by random search.
Recent in vitro studies demonstrate that protein folding follows a path(s) characterized by retention of partially correct intermediates.
Steric interference between neighboring residues in the amino acid sequence is an example of a local interaction. The conformational behavior of an unfolded polypeptide is dominated by local interactions; whereas, long-range interactions stabilize secondary and tertiary structure in native proteins. In an unfolded polypeptide, a given peptide bond is much more likely to be trans (96%) than cis (4%); except in the case of an X-pro peptide bond where the likelihood of the cis conformer is significantly increased (%20). This relatively high probability of cis presents a significant barrier to the folding of a protein for which the native secondary and tertiary structure demands the trans conformation. Futhermore, some proteins contain a cis X-pro bond in the native structure, so molecules with a trans X-pro bond must interconvert to cis in order for the protein to complete folding. PPIase catalyzes cis/trans interconversion, achieving as much as a 300-fold rate enhancement.
