@Abe Mundt - I agree. I'd add that it's a problem that has roots way beyond the police; there is a widespread culture of machismo involving the adulation of force, guns and the 'goodies' who use it; 'black & white' thinking whereby the world is made of goodies and badies, those who tell it like it is and those who can't handle the truth, those who heroically carve their own destiny, miraculously independent of wordly forces (such as the support of an effective army, skin tone, corporation, family), and those who fail similarly miraculously independent of wordly forces (such as ineffective education, protection, family) .... and are put on a pedastal or crushed accordingly.....
@SusScrofa - Why doesn't your theory apply to the social-democrat countries that have far more redistribution than the US, and far less criminality, chronic poverty etc? How do you explain the coincidence that the US is amongst the least generous nations in providing for poor people, and amongst those with the highest rates of criminality and poverty?
@Rescue - They are not under siege nor are they under occupation unless you count Hamas as occupiers, although how you square this with their election.
They have restrictions on movement and imports because of their predilection to murder as many of their more powerful neighbours.
They are the architect of the own misfortunes.
@jabral - You obviously have little experience with the inner-city and the role of religion there. These areas are festooned with store-front churches. For the black gang member, the same preacher baptized them, buries them, usually at a far too young an age. In Latino neighborhoods of Los Angeles Our Lady of Guadalupe is a prominently featured icon painted upon walls, and the Catholic churches are bursting at the seams. Religion has done absolutely nothing but exacerbate the malaise, providing yet another reason to abdicate personal responsibility.
What they can't or won't grasp is that if wealth is not distributed evenly and fairly, then chaos will spread randomly and episodically.
These people have no incentive to strive and earn, no reason to value their communities and the people and property within it, precisely because of wealth redistribution policies. Section 8 housing, EBT cards and whole host of other bennies have ensured chronic intergenerational poverty and unemployment, mothers and fathers raising their kids as the exception, cynicism toward education and reverence for criminality. Yet you think the answer is more of he same. Mind boggling!
Too many officers are commiting crimes and getting away with it. I have created a petition on the whitehouse petition website asking the president to require that police officers get the same punishment that a regular citizen would get if they committed the crime. PLEASE NOTE: Many officers "respect the badge" and do a great job. But in many places, officers: illegaly search people because of their race, or do any number of things that we would get mega jail time for. What do they get for it? Desk time. That does not seem fair. Please sign and share with your friends and family if you agree. Here is the link: http://wh.gov/LtE1
@ishmael2009 - Biological systems do indeed negotiate in the process of going from independent components to an entire system. There is much about this systems negotiation intelligence regarding everything from plant community rooting, the flocking behavior. But the most amazing example seem to be the most fundamental -- per se, bacterial supercolonies. [Might I recommend this from Google Tech Talks: Learning from Bacteria about Social Networks, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJpi8SnFXHs
I think that the analogy here that realitychck make with human globalization is actually quite precise.

I took your "it does mean" to be an affirmation of fact rather than meaning - sorry!
In many parts of the U.S. now African-Americans are now relegated to an even more marginal status behind the surging numbers of Hispanics and Asians. And so many of these "people of color" are prospering without the benefit of DECADES of special anti-poverty programs and "affirmative action." And tired old manipulative 1960s appeals to white guilt have lost much of their effectiveness in the face of the grinding economic problems.
@oldesouthsong -
And the world wonders when Americans only know about America and think the US is the center of the world. Look at any European paper: they cover the US like it is the center of the world.
In fairness, if I want Russian news in English I'll read the Moscow Times instead. And the Guardian's commentary on the US and US issues isn't that good anyway.
@justamug -
In the States you should be preparing yourself for a push back from the poor and marginalized. Its just a matter of time as their number swells with the arrival of angry young college graduates whose future has been ripped away from them. Its as inevitable as the fight against apartheid in South Africa. And its likely to be more personally violent given your nation's predeliction for guns.
Not really. We're not a revolutionary society over here, no real history of it like over there. Also, you're conflating seperate phenomena; America's gun fetishism + poor inner-city youth + unemployed college graduates = violent social change! It may be what you wish to see happen, but that doesn't mean it will.
@Barry64 - No, a society whose sociological structure is based on racial caste has exactly the sociological structure it wants.
Monies budgeted and spent are mainly salaries for middle class workers. Why should a racial caste society change? India hasn't changed in millennia when it comes to caste. Why should America change? It's racist past is also its racist present. Plus ca change--and all that.
@sursum -
How about holding the sperm donors accountable for child support whether they live with the family or not? That ought to reduce the number single parent households and reduce the costs incurred by the government if the single parent home requires government assistance.
We'll see what happens next.
If the sperm donor won't come forward and the mother won't reveal who it is and the DNA data base doesn't reveal the father, make her liable. Should she ever come into money she'll have to pay the government back. The same goes for the father should he ever be found. Make them both liable for government assistance for the rest of their lives.
@mackandal -
Obviously, included in those "articulable and specific facts" necessary for a "legal" search in New York include a) dark skin, b) a Spanish accent, or both. "A beacon of good policy," you say? Really. It's horse dysentery, purely and simply.
Read Terry v. Ohio and we'll talk. You're arguing about alleged situations that don't meet the standard of reasonable suspicion in order to argue that the standard isn't very good. The law is very clear that skin color and language can't be a basis for reasonable suspicion.
When the police are following the reasonable suspicion standard, they cannot consider issues like language or skin color. When they do not follow that standard, any evidence they gather is suppressed.
If the NYC police commissioner was referring to instilling fear in racial minorities, that would of course be illegal under the reasonable suspicion standard. But that's not what we're arguing here. You're arguing that the police use race as basis and the law supports that. It does not.
Find examples of world policy on excluding evidence obtained when the police don't follow the rules. Find them. The US policy of excluding evidence and making an effective prosecution impossible when the police gather evidence without meeting the standards in unique.
The fact is, the issues we're discussing today wouldn't even come up as something that can be challenged elsewhere.
What actually happens on the streets is this: black kid with baggy pants throws out what a white cop mistakes for a gang sign. Not knowing the street culture very well, he assumes deduces that the sign looked like the sign of immanent violence he learned in training. He notes that the kid has baggy pants that would be great place to hide a gun. So he stops him to frisk him. Kid comes up clean. He was merely motioning a friend to join him on the way to the movies. No unlawfulness whatsoever. Kid feels harassed. Complains to parents. Parents can't afford a lawyer. Case doesn't get looked into.
White kid also wearing baggy pants and throwing hand signals would get the exact same treatment. But that's not how New York looks. The white kids are culturally divided. They aren't wearing baggy pants that could hide a gun. The cops understand white culture better and can make reasonable inferences about the white kid's actions.
@NeoClassicist -
That's a pretty objectionable view - equality of opportunity sure, but someone who makes other people's lives a misery getting the same share of wealth as someone who contributes their life to society?
When some do emerge en masse, determined to cause mayhem, as they did in Chicago this weekend, it leaves the well-heeled shoppers and office workers from wealthier climes understandably resentful, unsettled and in shock. What they can't or won't grasp is that if wealth is not distributed evenly and fairly, then chaos will spread randomly and episodically. Gary Younge
@bbh795 -
Oh, and they didn't murder each other with such wanton abandon, despite being poor and downtrodden.
That`s because our ancestors didn`t have people like Gary Younge around harping at them 24/7 trying to convince them that their problems were all the result of bigotry, and they should act like victims.
@LakerFan -
All this Jim Crow and radical fascism will go away one hot August day when tempers are at their worst.
Ha! "Jim Crow". Oh, man...good stuff!
Yep, they`re going to really show "the man" when they burn their own cesspool of a city down. Oh, and If they liked stop-and-frisk, Just wait until they get a big load of martial law.
@Rescue - And the solution is continued handouts and hand-wringing excuses? My ancestors were thrown on vessels in Scotland or Germany, sold for the highest bid from multiple English landlords, worked fields until their indenture was up, then left to their own devices to carve a living out of the wilderness.
They didn't have welfare, free/subsidized housing, birth control on demand, food stamps, free I-Phones, free job training, free education, Medicaid, indoor plumbing, electricity, cable TV, or all the other crutches the "poor" can avail themselves of nowadays.
So the question is, what in Christ's name more will fix what's broken?
@Christo99 - If you think that "Europe" was responsible for the slave trade in Africa, you're leaving the majorit its history. There were centuries of Arab and inter-African slavery that predated any European involvement.
As for empires built on slavery, you may want to check the histories of several west African nations, and the riches they acquired by selling their fellow inhabitants to both Arabs and Europeans.
They didn't stand idly by and watch outsiders kidnap their people--they actively participated and grew rich on the trade.
More research for you.
@Michael J. Davis -
How about holding the impregnators accountable?
The only solution, I see for inner city blacks is population control we should pay inner city blacks to have abortions or not become pregnant
Find out who they are. If the young lady won't tell you and they aren't in the DNA data base (so the babies DNA can be used to find them) make her responsible for whatever monies she receives from the government. If she ever does make something of herself she'll have to pay off her debt then.
If the fathers do come forward or are found (possibly after they enter the DNA base at some point in the future) make them pay child support. If they can't pay hold them accountable for what the government has to pay to help raise the child. When they do find gainful employment garnish their wages if they won't voluntarily pay. Make them liable for collection costs too.
Forced responsibility is what it is. But it is the responsibility that came naturally to people for several millennia, until big government stepped in and took that responsibility away with their "social justice" programs.
So you're saying that if the "middle class" weren't so already beleaguered by the globalization "crunch" redistribution would work? What about the "millionaires and billionaires," why shouldn't we confiscate their cash and "redistribute" it? If that doesn't work why not another raid on Obama's stash?
Redistributing wealth will not work,the middle class is feeling the crunch from globalization and can not afford higher taxes.
@DFientz - Oops again, I just noticed rule 8: "Keep it relevant. We know that some conversations can be wide-ranging, but if you post something which is unrelated to the original topic ("off-topic") then it may be removed, in order to keep the thread on track. This also applies to queries or comments about moderation, which should not be posted as comments."
I hadn't memorized the "community standards," maybe I should have, but as they say "ignorance is no excuse for violating the law." They do offer the caveat "may be removed," it's not "will be removed" so there is some hope. More hope could be attained from the learning tool I spoke off above.
However, I think a query and comment is relevant in this case. The video I linked to wasn't "obviously commercial," the video had to be freeze-framed to completely see the title of the book and that it was authored by the speaker.
Besides, the important part was his "relevant, on-topic" words; he eloquently stated his case, he seems to speak from experience, I felt what he said was fully relevant and fully on-thread. That he flashed a book on the screen for one brief moment (so brief in fact that all I could make out was "common sense") that happened to be his (which I hadn't realized at the time) and suggested we read it seemed natural to me as it supported what I believe to be a "common sense" argument that less government intervention and more personal responsibility should be considered as an approach to dealing with the violence problem that is plaguing or cities.
@jameslegrand -
Im afrcian-american,and disagree,if you look at the crime rates
for blackmale from two parent house holds their crime rates are much lower,and they are in line with the general population. You dont need marrriage per say,but you need a dad in your life to instill discipline
and also having two incomes relieves poverty.
If there are no available men in your community,due to lack of jobs that is the social market place telling you not have kids.
@zahirman - my California is the destination for vast numbers of immigrants...one ad hoc observation is that the further the struggle it is to reach the destination, the better quality immigrants you get, regardless of culture, race, or national origin. That is, the arduous journey for many in our Vietnamese community has in a sense meant that the strongest and most determined people got here. People who do not f* around once they've arrived.
The greater the proximity to the home nation, the easier the journey, hence the greater proportion of the indolent and criminal folk in the home country make the journey. This is not to disparage anyone! Not at all. It is simply a sociological observation that is probably spot on true.
@colonist57 -
It seems to me that there is now a fairly substantial community of wealthy educated African-Americans who are in a position both to lead the way on changing the culture and to demand specific forms of assistance from the nation as a whole.
But do those leaders have any credibility among African American yoof? In America it's the white community that embraces successful African American role models - scientists, corporate leaders, cabinet members, etc. I haven't been to any American inner cities but the stereotype is that American young people, black and white, look up to sports stars and gangsta-rappers, not professors and executives.
@Rescue -
none of these groups very taken by force from their homelands, forced to by slaves for 300 years beaten, tortured, raped abused by their masters. And then living in poverty and de facto aparthide with massive discrimination for the last 50 years.
That is a massive difference.
All that explains is, perhaps, WHY their culture is broken - it doesn't change the fact that it IS broken. At the end of the day the problem is still the same, regardless of how it got that way. No one can change someone else's culture, only the community itself can.
The heart of the problem is a 70% rate of unwed motherhood, resulting in so-called "feral" children - children raised without proper parenting, discipline, and good adult examples. This gives rise to all the other problems - crime, drug abuse, school dropouts, etc. I think it's a bit of a stretch to explain unwed motherhood by a history of racism and slavery - especially considering that unwed motherhood in the inner city has skyrocketed in the last few generations. It was much lower in mid-century when Jim Crow was at its height.
@romanlee - actually your stats are wrong
The ADA has concluded that African Americans do not use drugs more than anybody else only about 10% of African Americans use drugs according to ADA thats in line with 9.7% of whites when you factor in margin error of 1%. In fact recent studies have shown white drug use increasing because of meth use.
@DFientz - BTW, I, of course, noticed that a couple of my previous posts had been removed by the moderator. I don't know why (I hope the Guardian may someday install a tool so we may be allowed to understand what specific rule had been violated when our posts are removed, all in the hopes that ignoramuses such as myself may learn from our mistakes) and I am left having to guess, and my best guess is that I violated rule 7: "We will remove any posts that are obviously commercial or otherwise spam-like."
I certainly didn't do it intentionally.
I had linked to a YouTube video ("The Angry Black Man") by one E.T. Williams, a man who calls himself the Dr. of Common Sense. I found he quite eloquently defined a lot of the key points of my argument: the so called 'poverty stricken' would be better off if they took personal responsibility and stopped looking for more government sponsored poverty perpetuation programs that help them stay in poverty.
In the video Mr. Williams briefly flashed a book onto the screen and suggested those interested in taking his advise read it. I had no idea it was his book. Another commenter noticed that and chastised me for posting the video.
First, let me apologize for posting a "commercial" video, but I had no idea it was one when I posted it. I had to go back to the video and freeze the frame in which Mr. Williams flashed the book into view to see that it was indeed his book.
But that wasn't what bothered the complainant. That entity was upset that that responsible individual would so shamelessly use the internet to promote his ideas and then his book. How true, the man should take great care, if that self-assured, self-responsible individual keeps up with that sort of thing he may find himself occupying the Oval Office someday.
Im African American and I live in Chicago,decades of economic inequality has degraded in the character of of 20-30% of inner city African Americans. I think liberals are right that economic segregation of 60's left African-Americans at a disadvantage to deal globalization and the loss of manufacturing jobs.
Conservatives are right that welfare benefits have not only help people need,but propped up people who had bad character traits thus you get a generation of people with bad character,and social programs have a hard time helping them because they do not make decisions logically,and then with an aging population,we will not have the resources to take care of them
Character matter latinos,are just as poor as blacks but only commit 16% crime. right in line with their percentage of the population while blacks make up 13% and cause 40% crime,this is because the latino,family structure is more intact with fathers in the home through cohabitation and marriage.
The only solution, I see for inner city blacks is population control we should pay inner city blacks to have abortions or not become pregnant and reduce their population by 20 or 30% and just import college educated Nigerians to keep the country diverse. Redistributing wealth will not work,the middle class is feeling the crunch from globalization and can not afford higher taxes.
with automation and cheap immigration there is no economic reason to have such a big poverty class. especially since robots will take more jobs in 10-20 years
If a certain community has more criminals and if law and justice system couldn't rectify it for a few decades, its not fault of community but its the problem of country, problem has to be addressed in a different way.
Is this not the new Slavery in America.
Minority (Black and Latinos) have less than half the per capita income compared with whites, are subject to segregation, police harassment based on colour, highest prison population and guess who is the majority their.
And their are bold people here who dare to literally hint racism by saying that its problem with criminals of "these societies" and others applaud it by putting more likes.
Its a sad state, when people simply deny that we need to change. Does it have to be revolution every time, can't we grow up and take corrective action.
@mikio44 - The first point to mention is that you did not provide any evidence to compare violent crime in other cities to that of New York, or the relative decline.
The second point is that on reflection I decided that whether stop-and-frisk is working or not is not the issue, so why debate. Certain sections of the community want it stopped because more black people are frisked than white people, they do not care if it is successful.
Of course examining the root causes of that perpetual poverty are not allowed on these threads. We can't compare the discrimination the Irish faced when they first came to America and how they've overcome it (no affirmative action or handouts to see there). Nor, do I suspect, can we compare what happened to the Japanese-Americans during WWII (government sponsored discrimination; internment, financial loss, financial ruin) to put some perspective on it (no affirmative action or handouts to see there either).
In which the inequalities of class and race are compounded by the inequities of police discrimination. The problem starts with poverty.
But we have this bit of information to work with: "The ruckus had been planned ahead of time on social media." How is it possible that the "poverty" stricken have enough disposable income to own devices by which they can participate on the "social media?" Unless they are using smoke signals I wouldn't classify such people as "poverty" stricken.
Lets forget, as Mr. Younge has, the fact that out of these ten stop and frisk procedures one illegally owned weapon or criminal was taken off the street and the murder rate has declined significantly.
According to the NYPD's own reports, nearly nine out of 10 stopped-and-frisked New Yorkers have been completely innocent of any violation, let alone a crime.
We're supposed to accept another Guardian article as proof positive that blacks are segregated into specific, hidden ("beyond the shadows" ... "out of sight") from view neighborhoods from which they apparently can never leave (except to go on social excursions)? Oh please, these writers, these moderators, it's beginning to get to be just a little too much.
Yet, thanks to segregation ...
What you "won't grasp" is that wealth is already "not distributed evenly and fairly" because of government sponsored programs like affirmative action (aka, positive discrimination -- an oxymoron if I ever heard one) and poverty fighting programs that put money in the hands of people who didn't earn it. Get rid of these programs that perpetuate underperformance, ignorance and poverty, restore to people their sense of personal responsibility and things may begin to change for the better.
What they can't or won't grasp is that if wealth is not distributed evenly and fairly, then chaos will spread randomly and episodically.
@LabanTall - Toughest gun laws? Really?
Come to Scotland, we have much tougher gun laws after just one gun rage incident, even than in Chicago, and our youth still find ways to kill each other. In my city, Glasgow, that could mean wearing a green top instead of a blue one, while being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
You missed the whole point of my original post, but I blame myself for that LabanTall.
Your gun laws are a absolute disgrace to humanity, no matter what what a state they originate in. The ramification of Racism in Chicago is the same as the ramification of Sectarianism in Glasgow.
A pointless waste of youth.

Sorry to interrupt you in full reactionary flow but since you were so dissapproving of an economist[Dean Baker] because he expressed [well founded] skepticism toward the last couple of months falling headline unemployment rate and his suggestion that things probably had reached their high point in the current cycle [suggesting unemployment would likely start to rise again, albeit slowly]you might be interested to hear the latest month's unemployment figures. They're pretty crappy. Just goes to show, one shouldn't moan about economists who point out economic realities that just happen to upset this or that poster. :)
" The economy added a paltry 88,000 jobs last month, less than half the number expected...Economists worry that Friday's job data signals that the economy is in a weaker position than previously thought"
Heres' Baker's original story last month:
Don't be fooled: 7.7% is likely a short-lived low in the US unemployment rate
We've seen seasonal spikes in jobs before. The underlying story is a weak US economy that will be hurt by sequester cuts.
Hopefully you can now see[I know you won't of course] that just because Baker urged caution on last month's figures doesn't make him a big nasty meany...;)
@jameslegrand - you need to read Bill Cosby's Ghettoesburg Address.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the lower economic and lower middle economic people are not holding their end in this deal. In the neighborhood that most of us grew up in, parenting is not going on. In the old days, you couldn't hooky school because every drawn shade was an eye. And before your mother got off the bus and to the house, she knew exactly where you had gone, who had gone into the house, and where you got on whatever you had one and where you got it from. Parents don't know that today.
I'm talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was two? Where were you when he was twelve? Where were you when he was eighteen, and how come you don't know he had a pistol? And where is his father, and why don't you know where he is? And why doesn't the father show up to talk to this boy? "

Report: Kljestan headed to Galaxy on loan deal as non-DP
Aug 6, 2014, 5:59 PM EDT
The red hot and rich Los Angeles Galaxy may have just gotten richer, as a Corner of the Galaxy report has tabbed Anderlecht and USMNT player Sacha Kljestan on the move to L.A. via loan.
The Galaxy announced that an unspecified deal was done before the 5pm ET transfer freeze, and that they would hold a press conference at 2pm on Thursday to unveil the details.
The loan would perceivably allow the Galaxy to, essentially, have a fourth Designated Player salary in addition to Robbie Keane, Landon Donovan and Omar Gonzalez. Without one of the three departing California — and they aren't — Kljestan could not be a DP.
[ RELATED: USMNTers headline MLS deadline day rumors, including Diskerud, Jones, Yedlin ]
Rumors of L.A.'s desire to add Kljestan are not new, and in fact extend back to May.
The team certainly won't turn down the chance to add a talented player on loan, and marketing a former USMNT mainstay won't hurt, but where would Kljestan fit into Bruce Arena's plans?
The easiest guess would be to slot Kljestan in for Stefan Ishizaki, though the latter has scored two goals in his past four games. I suppose Arena could bounce Donovan into the center of the park and put Marcelo Sarvas or Juninho on the bench, too.
Still, it's a busy and effective midfield that would be adding Kljestan, and anyone who caught L.A.'s weekend dismantling of Portland has to wonder how much better they could expect from the addition.
- rphillish - Aug 6, 2014 at 6:52 PM
I think it's much more likely that Landon replaces Sarvas or Juninho and Klejstan gets put out wide. My money would be on Sarvas, but juninho could happen too.
- jbq2 - Aug 6, 2014 at 6:58 PM
On July 24, Man U dismantled the Galaxy 7-0 for a major embarrassment for the MLS. United is only in preseason while LA is deep into their season.
- drewvt6 - Aug 7, 2014 at 12:41 AM
Kljestan is perfect fit for MLS. Soon we'll watch him and realize just how ridiculous it was that Klinsman rated Brad Davis so much higher than him or…..Landon Donovan.

Sesame-Ginger Popcorn Balls
From EatingWell: September/October 2011
Caramel popcorn balls made with crystallized ginger and sesame seeds are a fun twist on the original recipe. They're sure to be a hit at your next Halloween party.
Makes: 12 (2-inch) balls

Nutrition Profile
Low carbohydrate | Diabetes appropriate | Gluten free |View Our Nutrition Guidelines »
- 6 heaping cups popped corn
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup reduced-calorie light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
- 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds (see Tip)
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Prepare a medium bowl of ice water. Put popcorn in large bowl.
- Combine brown sugar, corn syrup and butter in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. As soon as the syrup starts to lightly bubble, cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is melted and the mixture darkens, about 2 minutes.
- Immediately pour the mixture evenly over the popcorn; gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until well coated. Gently stir in finely chopped crystallized ginger.
- Dip both hands in the ice water. Working quickly, press small handfuls (heaping 1/4 cup each) of the popcorn mixture firmly into 2-inch balls. (Make sure each ball gets a little bit of the ginger.) Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. If they seem too fragile, rinse hands with cold water and press and squeeze each ball again to help keep it together. Roll each ball in sesame seeds or sprinkle with sesame seeds while still a little damp and sticky.
- Let cool completely before storing. To store, individually wrap in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Wrap airtight for up to 2 days, but best the day they are made.
- Tip: Look for toasted sesame seeds at the supermarket near other Asian ingredients. Or toast regular sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over low heat, stirring constantly, until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Column: Making a case for the Cork footballers
Kevin McStay expects Cork to be more up for the fight than was the case in last year's Munster final, but asks if it will be enough to topple Kerry?

Just going with the flow :)
Hey! Hey! :) So I am originally from Chicago but I have moved around a lot..and now I am living in New York City. I am probably one of the most spontaneous people you will ever meet. I have lived in a different country and I have even traveled the world by myself for a year. My family and friends are very important to me and I would do anything for. I have two little chihuahuas who I like taking to the park (well...when the weather is nice haha). I am also a very hard worker, so my work takes up a lot of my time. I am a laid back girl and pretty much just go with the flow in life. I love everything from relaxing at home and watching a movie on my couch, to going to sports games, bars, movies, etc with friends, to doing something sponaneous and taking a last minute trip somewhere random! I am looking for someone who has a good head on their shoulders and knows what they want in their life. Obviously physical attraction is what starts it all, but the chemistry and honesty is what keeps it going :) I just want someone who is laid back like me, confident, can be my best friend, and who doesn't mind being adventerous every once in awhile. No games :)
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
I have Dogs
I have 2 little chihuahuas :)
Well I moved to NY a few months ago so I am still learning the area. So some favorite places that I have traveled to are Spain, Italy, Croatia, New Zealand and Czech Republic...actually the list continues..there are so many places that I love!
I enjoy trying new restaurants, traveling the world, going to the movies or going to the theather to watch a musical, meeting up with friends at a sports bar, going to the gym, concerts, last minute trips or going to watch to a sports game.

How to train a cat
The cat whisperer teaches felines to stop scratching and even get along with each other
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Move over, Cesar Millan.
There's a new star animal trainer, and she doesn't do dogs.
Mieshelle Nagelschneider, a Harvard-trained cat behaviourist and feline consultant, released her new book this week, The Cat Whisperer: Why Cats Do What They Do — and How to Get Them to Do What You Want.
"I want to help cats and owners coexist peacefully," says Nagelschneider, who has spent more than a decade offering owners advice and tips.
The book won't teach you how to get your cat to fetch, roll over or use a toilet instead of a litter box.
Instead, it delves into more serious matters: which outside factors are linked to how cats behave, and how to solve behavioural problems such as excessive meowing, scratching and hostility.
Although Nagelschneider took animal cognition courses at Harvard, she says most of what she's learned is from a special connection she has always had with her furry friends.
She grew up on a farm in Oregon, where she says she spent more time with animals than friends and spent her early 20s working as a vet's assistant.
"I had a good sense of feeling what the cat might be feeling. (I was) trying to look at the environment through the cat's eyes and I would try to adjust my behaviour accordingly," she says.
In 1999, she opened her own business, the Cat Behavior Clinic, in Portland, Oregon, and began to solve cat problems full-time.
Her clients, who call about problem kitties from as far as Greece and India, set up phone or Skype consultations and she offers solutions for every kind of behaviour problem you can imagine.
After a behaviour history questionnaire, she has an hour-and-a-half consultation, during which she gives the client a three-part plan to tackle the issue.
"There are few cases I've not been able to help in, and they're mostly cases where the cat owner doesn't do what I tell them to fix their cat's problem."
Nagelschneider says she often finds people often project negative "humanlike" traits onto their cats, making it easy for them to think that their pet is behaving badly to spite them or get back at them somehow.
That is never the case, she says. Cats aren't smart enough to do that.
One common problem is cats fighting with each other. She often suggests putting more litter boxes and feeding areas in the owner's home. She says cats operate on a social hierarchy and tension will build if they are constantly jockeying to eat or go to the washroom.
While Nagelschneider started to help individual people, now she's also trying to raise the profile of the often-misunderstood animals.
The internet has helped a bit with that.
The world is definitely having a "cat moment," she says.
When she first started, she says she used to get odd looks from people when she explained what she did for a living.
"When I used to meet someone for the first time, it wasn't always that great of a reaction, it was like they were going to turn and talk to someone else," she says, laughing.
These days they're far more interested and ask her questions instead.
"They're quirky and fun to watch and remind us of ourselves. It definitely is a lot cooler to own a cat then it used to be."

Faces of Charlotte's Economy: The Housing Market
By editor
The sub-prime mortgage collapse and a nationwide housing slowdown have dashed, or at least delayed, the "American Dream" for many people. Charlotte's housing market has weathered the economic storm better than most. But some Charlotte residents are still finding the current housing environment difficult to navigate. WFAE's Scott Graf takes a closer look at that as the series "Faces of Charlotte's Economy" continues.

The idea is for carriers to install many small LTE-U cells in public locations, which would end up boosting the signal of their big towers that work on the licensed spectrum.

It's time to go where you've never gone before: your pantry or that cupboard that's filled with dry goods that you haven't touched since you moved in. Tonight you are not going to eat out. You're going to make a meal from what you've got on hand -- and it's going to be good.
Recession Wire has 10 tips on how to cook from scratch, designed to help you save money and learn to cook the basics. The tip that makes the most sense is to begin most of your savory dishes by sauteing freshly chopped onion and garlic in olive oil.
A few simple recipes and a working freezer means you won't starve when
the chicken you're attempting to bake fails to turn from pink to
edible. Sauces frozen
in a Ziploc bag are well worth it. All you have to do is thaw the sauce
and boil some pasta -- which is not really cooking, more reheating.
And here's great news -- everybody can make chili.
All it takes is the time to chop up the ingredients and then you just
let everything simmer for a few hours. Sometimes you'll make a great
batch, other times it will only be good -- but you'll enjoy it every
time. And chili is one of the few leftovers where the taste can improve
after hiding in the back of your fridge for a week.
Just make one dish. Whether it's eggs or pasta, it doesn't matter. And
once you've perfected that dish, you can either hang up your kitchen
towel or move on to the next one.

ok back to editing this so I can get to my 1,000 words.
So far I have had a generally positive experience on here, have talked to a few interesting people and looking to find more! Even if you dont think we would click romantically feel free to drop me a line. Finding love would be nice, but I'm not going to go out of my way looking for it. It's kind of like the television remote... If you look for it you will not find it, but when you least expect it you will sit on it.
I love people who are honest to the point of brutality. Saves everybody time and anguish. Seriously I am a big boy, do not be afraid to hurt my feelings. I would respect you much more as a human for your honesty then hiding behind a curtain of non-confrontation. If you can not be honest with me then we can not be friends right? I will do you the same curtsy.
I am very laid back. Truly let that that does not matter slide. There are far more important things in life then to nitpick on the tiniest of details.
I'm intrigued by females who wear cat ears.
I am nerdy, funny, and honest

So I noticed a dead pixel on my screen today. Wait no, it's not a dead pixel! It's simply the Metro Internet Explorer!
The dead white pixel appears wherever you are in metro Internet Explorer. It doesn't appear anywhere else in Windows 8. That's a pretty big fail lol.

so , you have a dead pixel that simply cannot render a specific color (white/red/blue/green) and Metro, simply just had to actually put a white pixel right there ...
man, you made my day .... my cam (sony w200 has the same issue ... it has some dead pixels and in black it shows red, but in all other colors work fine) .. damn you science
Posted 20 August 2012 - 17:10
The pixel shifts position (sometimes it's lower sometimes it's 20px higher). It's NOT a dead pixel. It's something with Internet Explorer, and appears on other sites (You can see in in southparkstudios).
Posted 20 August 2012 - 17:16
Most likely an issue with your graphics card driver.
What resolution is your screen? I have a feeling this is an ad control (as I mentioned earlier) that you're spotting, but because of the Modern UI behavior you can't right click to verify.
Posted 20 August 2012 - 17:38
Nope it's not a graphics card driver issue. Fully closing IE and opening it again made it disappear. It's definitely caused by IE, seems to be extremely random that's all.

This comes from my absolute favorite special education website Wrightslaw. The article outlines what you should do if the school is fighting your child's IEP.Run, don't walk to this website!
Teacher Says, "I Don't Care if He Has an IEP"
by Suzanne Whitney Heath, Research Editor, Wrightslaw
I am feeling in desperate need of help. I just now learned about Wrightslaw.
My son is 7 years old, his ADHD has been characterized as "very severe" - by one evaluator, "most severe I've seen in 25 years of practice." I've taken him to three private evaluations and he is now under the care of one of the most respected child neurologists in the county.
He is also gifted. He was in a private school that really couldn't meet his needs, so I placed him in public school. He has an IEP.
The Background
Two questions
1.Can I ask for a paraprofessional? I've heard there are other ADHD kids in the class too. And even though two teachers for 30 plus kids should be fine, I think there are other children who could use the help.
2.Can they ask my child to leave the school?
Sue's Advice
I'll answer your questions first but I think there is more.
Q: Can I ask for a paraprofessional?
A: Read this before you ask for a paraprofessional. How to Request a One-to-One Paraprofessional for Your Child by Wayne Steedman.
Then even if you want a paraprofessional, don't ask for one.
Instead, focus on the IEP goals and accommodations.
If more staff is needed, do you want to request someone other than a teacher to teach your son? Let the non-certified staff supervise recess, collect data, move chairs around for reading groups, help with the buses, etc.
Let teachers do the teaching. They have the training, we hope.
Q:Can they ask my child to leave the school?
A: No, they cannot ask your son to leave. They are required to teach him.They are even required to teach him with out making him feel like he doesn't belong there.
About the IEP meeting:
Go ahead and attend the meeting, but as soon as you get there tell them that you were unable to prepare because you do not know why they have asked for the meeting.
If the meeting gets out of hand, repeat that you were unable to prepare for the meeting because you did not know what would be discussed, and ask them to "reconvene at a later date when you will be able to participate as an informed member of the team".
If the meeting is going fairly well, still respond to whatever is presented with, "Well, I didn't know we were going to discuss this. Let me get back to you about it in a few days."
That will give you time to figure out your plan and respond in writing once you have had time to think about the whole meeting.
Don't agree or do anything at the meeting. If they wanted you to be prepared and be a full participant they would have told you what the meeting is about ahead of time. You control whether or not they catch you off guard. Just go there to find out what they want and then respond to it in writing. Read "Letter to a Stranger" once you have had time to think.
About the teachers:
The teachers who are having trouble with your son are basically saying that they would be happy to teach him if he would just stop having his disability. Tough.
They get the whole kid. If you can live through it, so can they. They are a public school. He is the public.
When they say, "He . . .
You say, "That is part of his disability. Let's take a look at…
About the chart:
What needs to end is this chart full of sad face stickers.
How do they think that makes him feel? Do they think the sad face stickers are going to change his disability? Does the kid in the wheelchair get sad faces on her chart for not walking well? If they gave the kid in the wheelchair sad face stickers do they think it would change the way she walks?
You son has a hefty dose of a neurological deficit that affects his global behavior. He is also a child who attends a public school.
He is also a child who they will educate and will not damage by inappropriate behavior on their part. That is a sentence you may want to state at the meeting depending on how the meeting goes. My bet is you will find an opportunity to make that statement - politely, no yelling, even if it kills you.
Read this before the meeting Behavior Problems and Discipline and read it in detail later after the meeting when you have time.
About the IEP:
Most IEPs are not great.
Buy and learn what is in these books:
Writing Measurable IEP Goals and Objectives by Barbara D. Bateman and Cynthia M. Herr
Preparing Instructional Objectives by Roger Mager
Measuring Instructional Results, by Roger Mager.
www.amazon.com sells all of them.
Then make sure you participate in writing future IEPs.
If you really look at what the IEP says about your son's present level of performance, what it expects him to accomplish and provides for accommodations, you may see that it could use some additional information and tweaking.
If the IEP team and all your son's teachers were abducted by aliens tonight, would the people who stepped in to take their place be able to do it seamlessly based on what is in the IEP? If you close up the holes it may be easier for everyone to follow it and to understand your son's disability and degree of disability.
For now
Order the books and organize and calm yourself in preparation for Thursday's meeting. All you need to do there is take notes and respond with common sense as appropriate.
If you get over your head, remind them that you did not know about the subject of the meeting until you arrived and you would like to "reconvene the meeting at a later date when you can participate as a fully informed member of the IEP team".
How to Find an Advocate
In my area, who would be a good advocate, or how do I research and find one on my own?
Use the Yellow Pages for Kids state directory to find advocates, resources, and disability information for your area.
Good luck,

Singapore is the right place for those seeking adventure sports or thrill in their vacation. Over all these years, Singapore has emerged has the stable & modernized country in whole South East Asia. The Singapore Tourism Board has done an outstanding job by creating infrastructure for theme parks, river safari, adventure sports, shopping complexes, tourist lounges, annual festivals etc. Singapore has emerged as the leading player in the tourism business as compared to any other nation. It has greatly benefitted from tourism as its revenue has increased many folds along with employment. Singapore has boosted its economy by developing projects every year for each region. Due to huge inflow of tourists from all around the world, it has gained the trust & confidence of investors from developed nations who have invested millions of dollars for each project seeing its gain in the near future.
The Singapore River Safari tour is one such project which was developed to cater tourist's interest towards wildlife & eventually developed a river based theme for zoo & aquarium. The whole River Safari tour has been a huge success as kids along with their families cater around the Singapore Zoo in order to get a glimpse of freshwater creatures. The tour is operated by the Wildlife Reserves Singapore which did a wonderful job in maintaining Singapore Zoo, Jurong Bird Sanctuary & Night Safari. It is often seen that the tourists visiting zoos in all over the world has substantially decreased due to lack of interest & resources resulting to huge losses on the part of zoo officials. But, Singapore has emerged victorious in achieving its goal by producing indomitable results in terms of number of tourists visiting the zoo. It has attracted more than million visitors to visit its zoo. Unlike other countries where animals are maltreated due to lack of funds, the Wildlife Reserves Singapore has taken proper steps to facilitate conservation of the animal habitat along with their food & health.
The Singapore Zoo has a tropical rainforest setting along with various animal attractions & exhibition. It features more than ten ecosystems of the whole world such as Amazon, Nile, Mississippi etc. It has been able to conserve more than five thousand endangered animals belonging to three hundred different species. Some of the animals which are exhibited in the zoo are Giant Pandas, Chinese Alligators, Anacondas, Jaguars, Stingrays, Electric Eels, Gharials etc. During peak seasons or school holidays, the Singapore Zoo remains generally packed with kids all around. The biggest attraction of the Singapore Zoo is the Giant Pandas.
They are kept in closed enclosure with special climate control techniques to stipulate their natural environments. The Wildlife Reserves Singapore has taken special measures to grow special bamboo plantation in its zoo compound for feeding the pandas. Moreover, these pandas are extremely important as they represent the symbol of Sino- Singapore relationship. In order to promote its wildlife attractions worldwide, Singapore zoo officials once held a competition and name these two pandas as Kai Kai & Jia Jia among thousands of public entries. The themed wildlife safari has helped Singapore to cater funds in order to conserve endangered animals.
