WASHINGTON, DC — In her ongoing series Le 'NEW' Monocle, Shana Lutker creates stage sets and performances based on the circumstances and philosophical undertones of fistfights instigated by Surrealists in Paris in the 1920s.Continue Reading →
Julian Schnabel
What does it say about the character of art audiences when artists who had previously been adored fall out of fashion and have scorn piled on them?Continue Reading →
Since Julian Schnabel first gained attention with his broken plate paintings in the 1980s, he has been predisposed to working on found surfaces – animal skins, velvet, corduroy, sail cloth, tarpaulins, canvas flooring from boxing rings, wallpaper, navigation maps, flags, Kabuki theater backdrops, and photosensitive canvases – which help disguise the fact that he can't draw in paint and doesn't really have much feel for paint's potentiality.Continue Reading →

Memories fade. That's the one good reason, as far as I can see, to compile an end-of-year list. It's sometimes startling to retrace what attracted my attention over the course of a year; it is also instructive to determine where such a miscellany of shows fits in with ongoing areas of interest, and which ones, in hindsight, merited the time it took to review them.Continue Reading →
The final installment of Julian Schnabel 1978–1981, the rotating exhibition of four of the artist's early works, has arrived with "Abstract Painting on Blue Velvet" (1980). If you're seeking closure, however, I doubt that you will find it here.Continue Reading →
As an undergraduate, I took a seminar in contemporary art issues conducted by the theater designer Robert Israel, who once mused about coming across one of Robert Rauschenberg's 1950s-era combines in a collector's pristine white apartment. The artwork, composed of recycled scraps of garbage, "looked like it was peeing all over the place."Continue Reading →
"The Patients and the Doctors" (1978) is Julian Schnabel's first plate painting. It is also the title of a prose poem/essay he wrote for the February 1984 issue of Artforum, a ham-fisted manifesto that did little to dispel his reputation for defensive bluster.Continue Reading →
Is it possible to look at Julian Schnabel's "St. Sebastian" (1979) with fresh eyes, as if the past 34 years of Schnabel Sturm und Schnabel Drang never really happened? As if it were a new painting fresh out of an unknown artist's studio, landing inconspicuously in a storefront gallery on East 10th Street between 2nd and 1st?Continue Reading →
What Is It About Pageantry That We Love So Much? (On Roger Brown and Julian Schnabel)
Roger Brown (1941–1997) died a decade after his retrospective opened at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C. (August 13, 1987–October 18, 1987), and traveled to three other museums, none of which were on the East Coast or in a densely populated urban center. More surprising, the show didn't travel to Chicago, where Brown first gained attention and with which he is associated.Continue Reading →

How To Make Freezer Blueberry Jam
If you just picked up 20 pounds of blueberries and are interested in making jam with these berries, you can do so without having any canning equipment at all. The type of jam you can make is freezer jam. Freezer jam is not hard to make and requires no special equipment. Here is a great recipe you can follow for making your very own blueberry freezer jam. Ingredients You Will Need Here is the list of ingredients you will need to gather before you begin making your jam: 4 cups ripe blueberries 2 T. fresh lemon juice 1 tsp. cinnamon 2 1/2 cups white sugar 5 T. pectin If you have never made jam before, you might not know what pectin is. Pectin is a substance used to make most jams and spreads, and it is needed to make the mixture thicken. Without it, you will end up with runny jam that will not be easy to spread. Instructions To Follow Once you have all the ingredients you need, you will need to find a large pot, potato masher, and spoon to use to make the jam. The first step will be to place the blueberries, fresh lemon juice, and cinnamon in a pan and mix together. Next, you will need to mash the blueberries with the potato masher to soften them. You can mash them as much as you would like, or you can mash them very little to create a chunkier type of jam. Once you have mixed and mashed these ingredients, bring them to a boil over medium heat. As soon as the mixture begins to boil, add the sugar and bring the mixture back to a boil. Boil for two minutes and stir the entire time. Next, add the pectin and boil for one more minute. As soon as the minute is up, remove the pan from the stove and pour the mixture into freezer containers. Place the lids on the tops of the containers and place them on your kitchen counter until they are cool. You can then place them in the freezer. You can also keep a container or two for your refrigerator to eat right away. Making your own jams and jellies is not hard to do, but it does take time. If you do not have time to make your own but enjoy eating homemade jams, you could always order a variety of different types of a specialty food supplier like...read more
Two Delicious Chicken Recipes to Make with Specialty Chicken
When you purchase high-quality, pasture raised chicken, you don't want to cover its natural flavor with heavy sauces and seasonings. Instead, you want to enhance its flavor with a little light seasoning, and let the true flavor of the tender meat shine through. Here are two simple recipes to make with your specialty chicken. Rosemary and Garlic Grilled Chicken The fresh flavors of rosemary and aromatic garlic com together to give this grilled chicken just enough character to liven up your taste buds. The recipe makes enough for 4 people. Plan ahead when making this chicken, as it needs to marinate for 1 hour. Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thick 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard Directions: Whisk together the olive oil, salt, garlic, rosemary, lemon juice and mustard. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag, and add the oil mixture. Refrigerate the chicken for 1 hour, turning over once during marination. Place the chicken breasts on a medium-hot grill, and grill for 4 minutes. Discard the remaining marinade. Turn the breasts over, and cook for an additional 4 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to measure the internal temperature of the chicken. If it has not reached 165 degrees F, continue grilling until it does. Remove the chicken from the grill, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Baked Lemon and Thyme Chicken This chicken recipe, which serves 4, is perfect for a busy weeknight. Serve the extra lemon-thyme sauce over rice or noodles. If you don't like thyme, you can easily substitute rosemary, basil, or even marjoram. Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 tablespoons melted butter 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped 1/4 cup chicken stock 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Directions: In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, lemon juice, lemon zest and chicken stock. Season the chicken with the salt, pepper and thyme, and place it in a covered baking dish. Pour the lemon juice mixture over the seasoned chicken. Cover, and bake for 25 minutes at 375 degrees F. Uncover the chicken, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the oven, and transfer it to a serving dish. Pour the sauce into a gravy boat to serve on the side. For the perfect chicken to accompany these recipes, buy a poussin...read more
Five Tips for the First-Time Oolong Tea Brewer
If you're new to loose-leaf tea and are preparing to brew an oolong, it's important to realize that the way you brew the tea will have a notable impact on its flavors and overall appeal. To ensure your oolong is as enjoyable as possible, follow these brewing tips. Make sure your water is between 180 and 190 degrees F. A lot of beginner tea brewers make the mistake of simply pouring boiling water over their tea leaves. While this may be adequate for preparing mass-produced tea bags, it is too hot to extract the proper flavors from the oolong. Use a thermometer to ensure your water is between 180 and 190 degrees F when you pour it over the tea. It's generally easier to heat your water in a pan than in a kettle, since you can monitor the temperature more easily this way. Steep quickly. Oolong is not intended to be steeped (or brewed — the words are used interchangeably in the tea world), for a long period of time. Once you introduce the leaves to the water, only leave them to steep for about 30 seconds to a minute. Any longer, and you risk extracting bitter compounds, called tannins, from the tea. Use a tea ball or net. Because oolong is steeped so quickly, the easiest ways to steep loose-leaf oolong are to either put it in a metal tea ball, which you then immerse in your cup or pot of water, or enclose some of it in a single-use mesh pouch and insert that into your water. Start by using about 1 teaspoon of oolong leaves per cup of tea. If you desire a stronger flavor, add a little more the next time, and experiment until you find the right proportion of tea leaves to water for your personal tastes. Re-steep your tea leaves. Don't discard your tea leaves after you have removed your tea ball or pouch from the water! Set this aside, and when you're done drinking your first cup of tea, make a second one using the same tea leaves. Traditionally, oolong leaves are brewed several times. You can keep reusing the leaves until the tea tastes too bitter for your preferences. Don't add anything to your oolong tea. Oolong is traditionally enjoyed as-is. You do not need any milk, sugar, honey, or lemon with this luxurious and flavorful beverage. Just sip and enjoy its subtle nuances. If you're able, it's always nice to buy several different types of oolong at the same time, and brew them side by side to compare their flavors. For more information about oolong tea, talk to a professional like My Fresh...read more
When Is It Time To Serve The Champagne At A Dinner Party?
Champagne isn't just for special occasions. In fact, it can be consumed by a solo person when they need a little bubbly. For many people who throw dinner parties, the go-to drink is wine rather than champagne. When you want to serve something a little different at your dinner party, there are an array of champagnes you can turn to. As a host, you have the responsibility of making sure everyone is happy. Part of this means knowing when to serve the champagne at your dinner party so that your guests enjoy it more. There is a lot to having champagne including picking it out, pouring it, and serving it. Here are some things you should know about providing champagne to your guests. Champagne vs. Sparkling Wine Many people may pick up sparkling wine out of mistake instead of choosing champagne. This can be confusing since a lot of sparkling wines can be called champagne. The difference is that champagne is made in the Northeastern region of France. Other wines are made in other parts of the country. Another difference is that champagne is aged for years before being sold unlike wines that can be aged for months. You want to do a little background research (with companies like Pacific Wine Merchants) to make sure you are choosing champagne and not wine if that is your preference. Personal Preference Choosing the flavor is more of a personal choice rather than trying to get what everyone likes. Because everyone has a different preference, it is important to buy what you like. Even if a person has never tried it before, they may end up loving it after it is served at your dinner party. You can choose from dry, sweet, and semi-sweet champagne. You want to take into consideration the type of food you are serving when you select the champagne. Champagne and Food Pairings If you select a more intense champagne with a dry taste, you will likely want to serve it with a heavier meal like ham, chicken, or stews. For a rose champagne, you can serve it with lamb or fruity dishes. For more classic champagnes, this is better served with oysters, scallops, or even lobster. Serving the champagne with the right foods will help bring out the flavors in the drink. Your guests will likely enjoy it more and see that you put in a good amount of effort to get the pairing...read more
Ways To Liven Up Your Recipes With Fresh Goat Cheese
Are you a cheese lover who is bored with the most common cheeses available in your area? Do you find yourself wishing that you knew how to introduce new and exciting cheese to your family? If you are looking for ways to make meals more interesting with fresh goat cheese, try these ideas: New cheese in favorite foods: If your children are a bit picky, try introducing the fresh goat cheese in dishes that are familiar to them. Tell him or her that you'll be making grilled cheese sandwiches with the new cheese and let them try it as they choose. By allowing them to experiment gradually, they won't feel pressured to try the new cheese and will be less likely to rebel when you use it in other dishes. Goat cheese cheesecake: Are you looking for a new dessert option? Try making a fresh goat cheese cheesecake instead of your usual recipe. In place of cream cheese or Neufchatel cheese, you use a combination of goat cheese and yogurt. As a topping, you can either use your favorite caramel or chocolate topping, or serve warmed honey as a garnish on the side. A fresh goat cheese cheesecake tastes almost identical to the cheesecakes you're used to, so your family might not even notice that everyone is trying a new cheese. Liven up pasta dishes: Use fresh goat cheese to create a new family favorite by replacing the cream cheese in your four cheese Alfredo sauce recipe. Give your lasagna dish a whole new taste by substituting fresh goat cheese for the Ricotta. Add extra creaminess to your baked ziti dish by dotting the top with fresh goat cheese five minutes before the dish is finished cooking. Southwestern cooking: Fresh goat cheese works well with Mexican food and can be easily substituted for queso fresco or queso añejo. Consider using it in your favorite cheese enchilada recipe, baked quesadillas, or mixed with frijoles for a robust burrito filling. Make a zesty snack by putting a handful of corn tortilla chips on a baking sheet, covering them with fresh goat cheese, and broiling for a few minutes until the cheese is melted. Breakfast ideas: Use fresh goat cheese as a topping for your morning bagels. Its versatility allows it to be enjoyed with either sweet or savory breads. Add a unique layer of flavor to your scrambled eggs by stirring in fresh goat cheese just before the eggs solidify. For breakfast on the go, use fresh goat cheese in place of cow's milk in your favorite smoothie...read more
3 Tips for Finding the Perfect Caterer for Your Wedding
Your wedding is supposed to be one of the happiest days of your life. After all, you are marrying the person you love and want to spend the rest of your life with—and you are sharing it with all of your family and friends. But that beautiful dream can quickly turn into a nightmare if you hire the wrong caterer for your wedding reception. Here are three tips to help you find the perfect caterer for your wedding. 1. Go to wedding expos in your local area. One way you can find a great caterer for your wedding is to go to a wedding expo in your city or, at the very least, in a city close by. There you will have access to many different caterers who will pitch themselves to you in order to get your business. Some of them may even have sample foods for you to try. This is a very good way to select a caterer if there are several great ones in your area to choose from. Once you see them all in the same room together, you will be better able to compare them and determine which one is the better choice for your wedding. 2. Ask friends and family who they used for their wedding. If you attended a recent wedding reception for a friend or family member where the food was amazing, don't be too shy to ask them who their caterer was. Most former brides don't mind sharing the name of their wedding caterer. And, you have the added benefit of having already tasted the caterer's food. Caterers love getting business through the work they have done previously. Why? Because it means they obviously did a great job since you loved their food enough to contact them about your own wedding. 3. Look in local and regional wedding publications. Many cities and regions have wedding publications. Even if they only publish a couple of times a year, they will likely have a feature about a local caterer, complete with pictures of their work and testimonials from previous customers. Not only that, but there will also be ads throughout the publication, and in the very back, for various wedding and event vendors, including caterers. While this method of finding the perfect wedding caterer, one like Kickapoo Creek Catering, will take a bit more work on your part—as you will have to contact each caterer and ask around to see if anyone you know has used them or heard of them—it can still help you get the job...read more
Two Amazing And Easy Recipes Using Kosher Dill Pickles
Kosher dill pickles are a great idea for a refreshing snack. They also make a very tasty addition to sandwiches and burgers. However, if you find yourself getting tired of the same old pickle combinations, you can try one of these delicious recipes which take a simple pickle and make it amazing. Grilled Cheese A grilled cheese by itself is great and delicious, but adding some kosher dill pickles will give it a nice kick. Ingredients: Sandwich bread Cheddar cheese Kosher dill pickles Butter Begin by placing a skillet on the stove over medium heat. Once the pan is warm, butter one side of your bread and place it butter side down on the pan. Take at least two pieces of the cheddar and lay it on the bread. Next you can grab the pickles and line them on top of the cheese. Butter the other piece of bread and place it with the butter on top. After the cheese has started to melt, you can flip the entire sandwich over to give the other piece of bread a chance to grill for a few minutes. Once each piece of bread is as golden brown as you desire, remove the sandwich from the skillet and enjoy! Pickle Chips You can't go wrong mixing one amazing snack with another. Pickle chips are an easy and yummy recipe that makes a great appetizer for parties. Ingredients: 3 cups kosher dill pickles sliced into desired size of chips 1 cup milk ¼ teaspoon pepper 2 eggs 2 cups flour ½ teaspoon salt Oil The first step is mixing the ingredients for the batter together. Grab two small mixing bowls. In the first bowl, mix together the flour, pepper, and salt. In the other bowl you will combine the eggs and milk. Take a pickle and dip it in the flour bowl, then into the second bowl, and once again in the first bowl. This is the batter for your chips. Repeat this step until all the pickles have been covered in the batter. Pour a small amount of oil into a skillet over medium heat on the stove. Carefully place the pickles on the hot skillet one at a time. Allow the pickles to fry for three minutes, turning halfway through to allow for each side to brown. Drain the pickles and serve with your choice of dipping sauce. Remember These are just two fun recipes you can do with kosher dill pickles. If you enjoy these, don't be afraid to try more! You can even be creative and make your own recipes using the...read more
Tips For Making A Good Impression The First Time You Meet Your Girlfriend's Parents
Embarking on a relationship is an exciting time where you are able to get to know another person on a deep level, and develop strong romantic feelings for her. When things get serious, there is a good chance that your girlfriend will ask you to meet her parents- this question strikes fear in many men, but don't let your anxiety keep you from presenting your best self. Use the following tips to make a great impression the first time you meet your girlfriend's parents: Don't Walk in Unprepared When meeting your girlfriend's parents, don't walk in without doing a little bit of homework beforehand. Take the time to ask your girlfriend questions about her parents in advance so you can get an idea of their interests and occupations. You may also want to find out if there are any sensitive issues that should not be mentioned in conversation. Always Bring a Gift Bringing a gift when meeting the parents shows that you are thoughtful and considerate. You can bring flowers, or if you really want to wow them consider picking up a wine gift basket filled with a bottle of their favorite wine and a wine gift basket. A nice gift will cast you in a positive light before you even have a full conversation with your girlfriend's parents. Looked Well-Groomed Your girlfriend may not mind when you wear your favorite shirt that is ten years old and full of holes, but when it comes to meeting her parents you want to look professional. Depending on the plans that the two of you have with her parents, at least wear a polo shirt and nice pants. Don't forget to shave and style your hair- skip wearing a hat. Act Like a Gentleman Whether they admit it or not, almost all parents have a secret list of attributes that they look for in their children's significant other. One of the top things on that list is their child having a significant other who treats them with respect and love. While meeting your girlfriend's parents act like a gentleman by opening doors for your girlfriend, pulling out her chair, or offering to refill her drink. It is okay to show some affection, but refrain from any displays of affection that may embarrass your girlfriend or make her parents uncomfortable. Thank Them for the Evening No matter what you think about her parents after meeting them, always thank them for the evening and tell them how great it was to meet them. Being respectful goes a long way with making a good impression with parents, and it will show them that you also respect your girlfriend and her relationship with her...read more

DENVER — Microsoft founder Bill Gates called the Denver School of Science and Technology a national model that is successfully serving low-income students.
Oprah Winfrey called it one of the most groundbreaking schools in the country.
Bill Kurtz, the chief executive officer of DSST, calls it a values-based culture that expects great things from kids and gives them what they need to accomplish those things.
DSST has been successful and won national praise despite having a student body that isn't all that different from Greeley: a high percentage of minorities, kids who qualify for free and reduced lunches, and students who are English language learners.
Winfrey and others have lavished millions of dollars on DSST, but school officials say their success has more to do with policies than money. And even administrators of Greeley-Evans School District 6 say there may be lessons to learn from DSST.
People develop people, Kurtz said. And DSST has developed a lot of them - successfully.
Since its first graduating class in 2008, it has boasted a near 90 percent four-year, on-time graduation rate, and 100 percent of DSST's high school graduates have been accepted to four-year colleges; 50 percent of the 2010 class are first-generation college students.
DSST Public Schools is a network of charter schools in the Denver Public School District. David Greenberg founded its pilot school - Stapleton High School - in 2001 on an idea that the school would dedicate itself to providing a diverse student body with a liberal arts high school education and a focus on science and technology.
Kurtz came to Denver originally to run the school from Newark, N.J., where he ran an independent school that boasted 90 percent achievement and 90 percent free and reduced lunch enrollment. It was a public school where struggling middle school students went for two years to get caught up. They were then sent to the top high schools in the area to finish their education.
Stapleton, which is in northeast Denver, opened in 2004 and has both middle and high school campuses. In 2009, the idea expanded to other areas of Denver, including Green Valley Ranch off Tower Road near Peña Boulevard - also with middle and high school campuses - and Cole Middle School in north-central Denver. A sixth campus will open in 2012 in southwest Denver on the Colorado Heights University Campus. And a seventh is set to open in 2013 near West Washington Park in the former Byers Junior High School building.
Technology permeates the highly regarded charter academy. But take one step inside any of its doors, look beyond the touch-screen TVs, and something is obviously different.
From the beginning, it has been DSST's mission to target nontraditional students, students in poverty and minority students. It was so important to Greenberg that the original charter application asked Denver Public Schools to write a 40 percent minimum requirement for "at-risk" students.
"We wanted it that way," said Jenny Meyer, grants administrator for the school. "Part of the culture here is the diversity. Obviously it depends on the community you're operating in. But if we would have left it to chance, Stapleton would be a much less diverse community."
The Green Valley Ranch site has 60 percent of its students on free and reduced lunches, Stapleton is at 46 percent and Cole is at 65 percent. By comparison, District 6 has 65 percent of its students on free and reduced lunch. At both DSST and District 6, about 25 percent of the students are English language learners.
Charter contracts for the two new schools will require a minimum of 50 percent of the slots go to at-risk students, also at the request of DSST.
The enrollment for both the at-risk students and the general population is a lottery. There is no selection process, and all the schools have long waiting lists.
DSST uses many of the same techniques that other charter schools do: strict dress codes, high sports eligibility requirements and rigorous curriculums.
Kurtz said, however, the success of DSST lies in the six core values that all students, faculty and staff are required to follow: respect, responsibility, integrity, courage, curiosity and doing your best. Students receive points for exhibiting these and are docked points for bad behavior. Points are awarded in a paycheck at the end of each week, and students can use the points to buy a dress-down day or things from the school store.
Before students can enroll, parents and students must sign a contract with the school stating they fully understand what is expected of them. It's that behavior that everyone at DSST says keeps kids on track.
Students are divided into advising groups of the same sex and with a same-sex teacher. The groups are named after popular colleges to get kids thinking about college as early as sixth grade.
They chose the same-sex model because studies have shown that students are more comfortable discussing embarrassing issues with others of the same sex, especially at the middle school level when students are beginning to hit puberty, and comfort enhances learning.
Every morning after students settle into their first class, each grade level conducts a "morning meeting," where students, administrators and teachers spend 15 minutes discussing achievements/awards and school announcements.
But it's also used as a peer evaluation and acceptance time to refocus behavior that is not accepted at the school.
Students who are late to school must stand up and apologize to their classmates for wasting their time, but students who break any of the core values are responsible to their classmates on a much bigger level.
The apology isn't the end. Once a student apologizes, other students can discuss with him or her any concerns or questions they have. The student body then votes on whether to allow the student to come back to regular classes. If the majority says no, the student must return to in-school suspension and the process starts over.
During in-school suspension, students work on their regular class lessons and talk to the dean of students about what they can do to change what went wrong.
"Those days are very intensive," said Megan Helseth, charter management organization fellow. "They talk about what happened, what went wrong, write an apology and figure out how to change those things."
The school also has three after-school programs, a refocus group, a college prep hour and a mandatory tutoring class. Refocus is for students who get in trouble during the day; college prep is for students who are unprepared for class - even down to not having a pencil or pen ready when required - don't turn in homework or have other academic issues; and mandatory tutoring is for students falling behind in grades, which are graded on a scale of A, B, C and F. There are no D's.
"No student is ever going to get a zero at DSST," Helseth said. "We make sure they don't fall behind. They all finish their homework."
Big-screen televisions in the lobbies of the schools broadcast which students have college prep, refocus or mandatory tutoring at the end of each day, reinforcing the idea of peer accountability.
"We need the parents to be very, very committed or there is no way the kid will buy in," Helseth said.
About 600-700 kids go through college prep each month, and another 400-500 kids a month spend time in refocus.
Helseth said the school does its best not to expel students; administrators would much rather get students on track and see them succeed.
"The students are tuned in to the fact they can go to a neighborhood school and pass," Meyer said. "We have a high number of students who repeat a grade. We really try hard to retain those students who need the extra help, especially those who are at risk."
There is still more. A blue line across the top one-third of desks is where anything not being used in class must sit so the teacher knows the students are not playing with things they don't need.
And the four-minute passing periods between classes are silent. Signs on the walls throughout the school remind students that they must walk on the right side of the hall with urgency, respect others' personal space and keep quiet.
Students are not allowed in their lockers except before and after school and during lunch.
DSST is a college preparatory program. One major difference between DSST and a traditional public school, Kurtz said, is the number of classes offered. DSST offers 25 classes to students in sixth through 12th grade.
"The classic high school has between 300-400 classes," Kurtz said, "because people argue, 'Our kids will go crazy if they don't have a choice.' I know you want kids engaged in school, but when you have kids who can't read or pass algebra, it doesn't make sense having elective courses."
While the schools are focused on a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) curriculum, they still "teach the whole student," Helseth said, with classes such as cooking, engineering, medical and others. They are designed to bring the students together and build a sense of community.
"We want them to walk out of here being human beings," Helseth said.
In addition, each school partners with a corporation, such the Anschutz Medical Campus, Lockheed Martin and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, where students do internships as part of their graduation requirements.
Each grade level has about 150 students and 20 to 25 students per class. All students are assigned a laptop when they enter the school beginning in the sixth grade. There is a $150 deposit required, and students also pay for any damages.
The laptop program was developed early in DSST's history with a grant from Hewlett-Packard.
The school, which started as a high school, began offering middle school because teachers noticed four years wasn't enough to prepare students for college.
Kurtz said it is unlikely the school will ever offer elementary school because he believes middle school is where the need is.
"We really needed to give kids a better chance at succeeding," Kurtz said. "We noticed they were coming in with poor academic skills. But we can accomplish what we need to without elementary. The biggest achievement problems start at the middle school."
Critics of the state's school funding system argue that schools would see higher achievement rates with more money because they could invest in technology. Many criticize districts and schools such as DSST - which has received numerous grants and donations from companies nationwide such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's $500,000 donation or Oprah Winfrey's $1 million donation - with comments like, "We could do that too if we had all that money."
But Kurtz said it is not the money or the technology. In fact, DSST's first year was spent in a former DPS high school where the morning meetings were conducted in the parking lot.
"Our model is certainly built on a culture of success," Kurtz said. "But it's my belief that we could open a school in a field in a tent and be successful. Technology has helped us do some things, but most of it is culture and expectations and accountability that go beyond the technology."
Meyer said the content and the lessons being taught are the same as they would be without computers and smart boards. The technology just improves effectiveness and gives teachers a 21st century way to deliver the message.
"It lets teachers keep track so much easier," Meyer said. "Results are immediate with software. It can show teachers in five minutes if half the class is not meeting the standard. That kind of technology for our teachers is amazing."
Kurtz said what strong academics boils down to is schools using technology effectively, but it's the culture that is created and the teachers who are hired to do the job. He said DSST's behavior and curriculum model could be implemented in any traditional public school so long as everyone buys into it.
"Much of what we do is the same as any school, you'll see that we only have 20 parents show up for meetings, too," he said. "There is nothing in our model that any district school couldn't do that didn't want to. There is nothing really stopping people from taking what we do. It's a question of imagination in do they want to take it?"
Kurtz said when it fails, it's because schools or districts only take bits and pieces and it won't hold up to the whole that works.
"There are often other broken parts that overwhelm those new parts," he said.
Greeley-Evans School District 6 Superintendent Ranelle Lang agreed that DSST's model would work in a traditional school in Greeley and could be considered. She cautioned, however, that it couldn't be implemented in all schools because in order for it to work it needs participation from everyone involved.
"This could certainly work in our district, particularly if it were part of a larger choice initiative," she said. "This sort of structure is best when adopted with the support of the entire school community, at a school level, and parents and students are well aware of the structures before attending. It also assumes that there are other choices for the students and families within the district."

Hiring Plans Show Signs That The Worst May Be Over
From the responses of small business owners in the latest American Express OPEN Small Business Monitor Survey, things seem to be looking up. While still closely watching the economy, many are planning to hire, and recent efforts to reign-in costs and focus on customers have better positioned them for growth. And, many more are discovering the benefits of social media. Twenty-six percent of small businesses are planning to hire over the next six months, and more (10 percent, as opposed to 5 percent in the spring) are saying these employees will be full-timers.

Hi Jakandsig! I've been looking at some of your edits and you seem to really know your stuff - thanks for the information and references. However, I'm noticing that you aren't properly identifying where the URLs go to: for example the name of the newspaper and the date of the article - and you tend to put a summary of the information as the name of the link, rather than the actual title of the page or newspaper article. This is misleading because your summaries are not the actual titles, it makes it hard to see how reliable the sources are (some are personal blogs, which should be avoided), and it may make it difficult to reconstruct the source if the URL changes or becomes a dead link. You can use citation templates or not, as you prefer, but please use the exact title rather than a summary, and say who published the item and for a newspaper, on what date. This page is an introduction to referencing including tutorials for using source code and visual editor (I notice you are using visual editor - I wouldn't recommend that myself, and I suspect that's why you sometimes use [[ ]], the code for an internal link, instead of [ ], the code for a URL, but it's your choice). ... I hope these pointers and the various links in the template above will be helpful. Thanks again! Yngvadottir (talk) 18:30, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
Edit War Warning[edit]
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Indrian (talk) 18:25, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Toddst1 (talk) 20:47, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
Replaceable fair use File:Sony CD-I player.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Sony CD-I player.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing
<your reason>with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
- On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:59, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Your behavior on wikipedia[edit]
I appreciate that you have reached out to me on my talk page in a largely civil manner and appreciate that you seem open to moderating your approach. That will not necessarily halt my move to begin an RFC/U, but I am always happy to engage in dialogue. I would also emphasize that an RFC/U is not a forum to ban an editor or to "punish," but rather a forum to identify inappropriate behavior and work collaboratively towards a solution. Just because an RFC may be filed does not mean your life on wikipedia would be over.
Look, I know that wikipedia has a lot of rules and can be very bureaucratic. This is situation gets even worse because we have rules that specifically say you can ignore the rules. I have been here a long time, and there was a lot less of this policy stuff in the early days when I joined, so I have assimilated a lot of it gradually over time. I understand that for a newcomer, it can be daunting.
It is really not my job to educate you on wikipedia, but there are a few helpful links I can give you. First of all, the pillars of wikipedia, the only policies that are identified as "core" and fundamental to the operation of the entire project are WP:NPOV, WP:V, and WP:OR. In a nutshell, these policies state that all points of view as articulated in reliable sources must be given proper weight, all information must be verifiable in reliable sources, and editors cannot draw their own conclusions or add their own research that is not derived from reliable sources. Generally, we do not require all information to be sourced the moment it is added, but if unsourced material is challenged, then the person that added the information should be ready to back it up. The one exception is information added to biographies of people that are still alive, which should always be sourced if controversial (see WP:BLP).
So most of your edits that have been challenged on content grounds have been challenged based on the three core policies above. Several times you have drawn your own conclusions on the influence of this or that, which violates WP:OR. Other times, you have included information incorrectly from sources, which violates both WP:OR and WP:V. You have also puffed up certain subjects (most notably CD-i) or downplayed them (most notably the NES) beyond claims made in sources or through claims not supported by the majority of sources, which violates WP:OR and WP:NPOV.
Now, that brings us to user interaction. There are two core policies here WP:ASSUME, and WP:Civility. The first states that all editors should assume we are all here to help improve the project until proven otherwise, while the other says that debate should stay civil and avoid personal attacks and insults. Now, I have been here a long time and I can tell you that even the most level-headed, nicest editors sometimes skirt the edges of or violate these policies in the heat of the moment, as no one is perfect. You, however, have hurled insults left and right at multiple editors without even any pretense of having a reasoned discussion about an issue. This behavior actually will get you blocked and maybe even banned if it continues. That is not a threat, that's just how things work around here.
So that brings us to what you should do when someone is disagreeing with your edits. First of all, its important to understand that everything on wikipedia runs on consensus (see WP:CON). This means that in the case of a disagreement between two or more people, the community as a whole weighs wikipedia policies and the merits of the disputed information and comes to a decision on whether it should be added or not. There is no favoritism in this process and certainly no concept of "seniority." Everyone is equal. There are certain individuals that have been granted administrative powers, which allow them to block and ban users and serve as the final arbitrator on disputes in certain special forums, but their opinions are given no more weight in a regular content discussion and their decisions are also subject to review. If you find that an editor or editors object to an addition and are reverting your changes, per WP:BRD, the best course of action is to stop trying to change the article and go to the talk page to state your case. If this does not resolve the issue, there are other forums you can go to like various wikiprojects to try to gather more opinions. If that still does not help, you can always enter the formal arbitration process by preparing an RFC. I do note you have been coming to the talk page more often recently, but at the start you were refusing to do so.
So that's that. If you can adhere to some of these policies and work with your fellow editors, you should be okay around here, but if you keep hurling insults and refusing to negotiate, no one is going to want anything to do with you and will avail themselves of wikipedia's dispute resolution methods to force you to behave appropriately or leave. On a personal note, I get the sense that English is not your first language, as you have made a large number of basic grammar mistakes in your edits, consistently misread sources, and made claims about user conduct that make no sense. This may explain some of the communication problems we are having, but it does not excuse your conduct. I personally find it staggering that after all the insults and name calling and accusations you have hurled at multiple editors that you would claim to be persecuted. Your claims that I have not read your sources are also stunning, as I have found that in most cases, I have read them all far more thoroughly and accurately than you. I have also tried to explain things to you past the point of reason on multiple talk pages, so your claim that people will not engage you in conversation is also surprising. I hope some of the comments here help you reframe the context of your situation.
Well, that is probably enough for now. If your message was a genuine olive branch, I appreciate it and have posted this response in kind. If your behavior does not change though, no amount of protestations that you are being "persecuted" or just "trying to do a good job" are going to help you in this community.

Do you know what you're talking about?[edit]
Even though I provided a reliable source stating that Microsoft's Project Gotham Racing was a spiritual successor to Sega's Metropolis Street Racer, with this edit summary you continued to insist that "no one had that though in their mind when both serie were relevant". I'm sorry if I sound abrasive--it's just the way I am--but do you have any idea what you're talking about? Both games were made by the same team at Bizarre Creations; they just changed the name and switched publishers when Sega went third-party. In order to prove to you that people did notice this at the time, I dug up an old Game Informer. GI #97, May 2001, pg. 59 has a "Codename: Project Gotham" preview that states: "It's a very promising racing title developed by Bizarre Creations, the development house responsible for the excellent Dreamcast racer, Metropolis Street Racer. Anyone who has played MSR knows that it was a challenging and addictive urban racing game based on winning skill points called Kudos. So, what do you think Bizarre has up its sleeve for the Xbox? How about a challenging and addictive urban racing game based on winning skill points called Kudos? That's right--it looks as though Project Gotham will be, despite the change of name, an out-and-out sequel to MSR." One word of advice: If you don't know what you're talking about, stay silent.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 04:58, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Feedback needed on using special characters[edit]
Hello. Thank you for using VisualEditor! Having editors use it is the best way for the Wikimedia Foundation to develop it into the best tool it can be.
While we always welcome general feedback (please report any issues in Bugzilla in the "VisualEditor" product or drop your feedback on the central feedback page on MediaWiki.org), the developers are especially interested right now in feedback on the special character inserter. This new tool is used for inserting special characters (including symbols like ₥, IPA pronunciation symbols, mathematics symbols, and characters with diacritics). It is intended to help people whose computers do not have good character inserters. For example, many Mac users prefer to use the extensive "Special Characters..." tool present at the bottom of the Edit menu in all applications or to learn the keyboard shortcuts for characters like ñ and ü.
The current version of the special characters tool in VisualEditor is very simple and very basic. It will be getting a lot of work in the coming weeks and months. It does not contain very many character sets at this time. (The specific character sets can be customized at each Wikipedia, so that each project could have a local version with the characters it wants.) But the developers want your ideas at this early stage about ways that the overall concept could be improved. I would appreciate your input on this question, so please try out the character inserter and tell me what changes to the design would (or would not!) best work for you.
Issues you might consider:
- How often do you normally use Wikipedia's character inserters?
- Which character sets are useful to you? Should it include all 18 of the character sets provided in the wikitext editor's newer toolbar at the English Wikipedia, the 10 present in the older editor toolbar, or some other combination of character sets?
- How many special characters would you like to see at one time?
- Should there be a "priority" or "favorites" section for the 10 or 12 characters that most editors need most often? Is it okay if you need an extra click to go beyond the limited priority set?
- How should the sections be split up? Should they be nested? Ordered?
- How should the sections be navigated? Should there be a drop-down? A nested menu?
- The wikitext editor has never included many symbols and characters, like ℗ and ♀. Do you find that you need these missing characters? If the character inserter in VisualEditor includes hundreds or thousands of special characters, will it be overwhelming? How will you find the character you want? What should be done for users without enough space to display more than a few dozen characters?
- Should the character inserter be statically available until dismissed? Should it hover near the mouse? Should it go away on every selection or 10 seconds after a selection with no subsequent ones?
- Some people believe that the toolbar already has too many options—how would you simplify it?
The developers are open to any thoughts on how the special character inserter can best be developed, even if this requires significant changes. Please leave your views on the central feedback page, or, if you'd prefer, you can contact me directly on my talk page. It would be really helpful if you can tell me how frequently you need to use special characters in your typical editing and what languages or other special characters are important to you.
Thank you again for your work with VisualEditor and for any feedback you can provide. I really do appreciate it.

When I was in my young teens, I used to fall asleep each night listening to my favorite music through a pair of earphones plugged into my Walkman cassette player. I used earphones because I grew up in a pretty small house, and my parents didn't appreciate hearing wailing vocals and long guitar riffs pouring up through the furnace register from my basement bedroom in the dead of the night. My mother never liked the idea of me laying in bed with a cord draped over my neck. She was convinced I'd somehow manage to choke myself to death. Thus, I hid it well in case one of my parents barged in for some reason.
One of the cassettes I remember listening to over and over again was a single of "When the Children Cry" by the rock band White Lion. I liked the lyrics, I liked the sound, and I heard a lot of heart and sincerity in the voice of White Lion front-man Mike Tramp as he sang it.
I interpreted the song as an apology of sorts for the kind of world that we, as people, were leaving behind for our children. I was a bit young to fully appreciate that point of view at the time, but it's certainly something I think a lot about these days. While the song was largely about war, I think one could just as easily apply its message to other ongoing issues in which our leaders and our culture have left our kids' generation holding the bag for the careless decisions our generation has made.
Though it had been many years since I had heard that song, it immediately rang out in my head when I learned that Mike Tramp would be performing an acoustic show at Fort 21 in Greeley earlier this month.
My wife and I, along with another couple, went to the show and had a really good time. Tramp sounded great. He still puts a lot of heart into his music, and the updated version of "When the Children Cry" that he sang sounded fantastic.
During the show, I kept noticing a young man walking through the bar who my wife and I suspected might have worked there as a bouncer. He was a big guy, and he seemed to be keeping a discreet eye on things.
After the show, we got to meet Mike Tramp, and found him to be a very nice guy who enjoyed talking to his fans. I gave him a personalized copy of my book with a message thanking him for his music. I admit that part of my motivation in giving him the gift was so that I could post a picture of him holding my book on Facebook. You know - a cheap plug. Still, I really did want to express some gratitude for the great music he put out, and also for coming to Greeley, Colorado where we don't get many acts like him. He was very gracious for the gift, and it was a pleasure to meet him.
A couple days later, I received a Facebook message from someone named Dylan Tramp. He introduced himself as Mike's son, and explained that he was traveling on tour with his father. I recognized him in his profile picture as the young man I thought was a bouncer at the bar that night.
Dylan, who's 20 years old, told me that he was enjoying reading my book in the car, as it helped pass the time on their trip to Mike's next gig in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Because the tour was an acoustic one that didn't require a crew and a ton of equipment, the two of them were traveling in a single car together, with Mike behind the wheel.
I thought to myself of how awesome of an experience it must be for a young man like Dylan to travel across the country with his rock star father, getting to see new places, meeting lots of interesting people, and perhaps most importantly enjoying some unique bonding time with the man he called Dad.
The interaction prompted me to check out Mike's official Facebook page. There, I found out that he and Dylan had actually been chronicling their tour across America together. The two don't typically see much of each other. Mike lives in Denmark. Dylan lives in Australia. After some concert dates in Australia back in March, Mike brought his son across the Pacific Ocean with him to start off the U.S. leg of his tour.
On the Facebook page, they've been regularly posting photos of their stops at historical sights and unique venues. They've also been sharing stories about both the good and bad times. Dylan's even been filming regular videos of Mike performing at the edge of a bed, singing and strumming his guitar. The two called the series "Songs from a Motel Room."
Above all, they haven't been shy about sharing how thankful they are for one another, and how special their time on the road has been together. I get the sense that Mike's past career choices haven't always allowed for as strong of a bond as the two now seem to have.
The tour of 40 U.S. shows ended just last week in Portland, Oregon. The father and son team are now enjoying some well-deserved rest and relaxation in Lake Tahoe.
I, of course, don't know either of the Tramps personally, beyond a brief meeting. However, I found what I've read and seen of their relationship to be quite endearing. It's been a pleasure to bear witness to.
I'm sure it's been years since Mike has ridden in the back of a luxury tour bus to sold-out American arenas, but I would bet that the adventure he just wrapped up with his son came with a different kind of reward. Putting on intimate performances to smaller, faithful crowds, and sharing the moments with his own flesh and blood... I believe it's an experience both of them will forever cherish.
During the Greeley concert, Mike Tramp expressed frustration over in the global situation not getting much better since the day "When the Children Cry" was written. I suppose a lot of musicians dream of writing a song that will somehow change the world.
Changing the world's a pretty tall order, of course, but you can always be a good father to your son. That's an accomplishment that can never be undervalued.

Posted on 04/16/2010 5:35:48 PM PDT by Abathar
INDIANAPOLIS -- A man who shot and killed a teenager who broke into his car was charged Friday with voluntary manslaughter.
Virgil Lucas, 17, was found dead of a gunshot wound to the chest on the front porch of a home in the 3500 block of East Morris Street early on April 9.
James Ingram, 30, who lives nearby, told police he returned home from work to find the teen breaking into his car, and confronted him with a gun.
Ingram's attorney said his client was merely attempting to hold Lucas for the police, but when the teen ran, Ingram fired several shots after him.
Ingram told police he didn't think he'd hit the teen until he was found dead in the neighborhood.
Police said that legally, loss of property is not enough to justify the use of deadly force.
(Excerpt) Read more at theindychannel.com ...
Having had my stuff stolen on a number of occasions I really can't work up a tear for the perp.
Be glad you don't live in Europe. I recently had a friend in Scotland who had her home broken into by a complete stranger. The police couldn't arrest the man because she 'had an unlocked front door' I kid you not.
What kind of idiocy is this? This is practically an incentive to steal stuff. I'd give this guy a medal. Had he not been persecuted, he would have saved the taxpayers tons of money.
Hopefully the jury will act with more sanity than law enforcement.
He should insist on a jury of his peers, burglary victims.
"What kind of idiocy is this?"
You can thank the liberals for it.
The correct statement would have been: "Ingram's attorney said his client was merely attempting to hold Lucas for the police, but when the career criminal launched an apparent attack, Ingram felt a justifiable fear for his life and fired several shots in self-defense, but the attacker turned away just as Ingram pulled the trigger the last time, and that shot hit the career criminal in the back," assuming that's what happened, of course.
Another golden opportunity to keep oneâs mouth shut missed .
Criminals know this.
I believe he was not charged with any crime.
Property is money.
Money is labor.
Labor, stolen from the laborer, is slavery.
Therefore, property IS enough to justify deadly force, because to take someone's property is to make them a slave for the benefit of the criminal.
That's good to hear. ty.
That happened right up the road from my house. He killed them both and the police didn't wanna charge him, but under pressure from latino groups and the black panthers, they caved...but when it came before a grand jury the didn't indict(IIRC)...I'm sure the police & prosecutor did a piss poor job presenting the evidence b/c none of them wanted him convicted....oh and the 2 guys he shot were illegals...
The detail that makes me think twice about this case is that the perp appears to have been unarmed and running away when shot.
Shooting him to stop him breaking in, stealing, or harming someone - yes, absolutely, but shooting him in the back while he's unarmed and running away without having harmed anyone or actually stolen anything.... I don't know, just doesn't sit right with me.
And here's the kicker... if law enforcement was doing its job the perp might have had a few less holes in him.
God's idiocy....even in the Bible God didn't justify the killing of a thief breaking in your home....unless it was at night b/c u couldn't be clear of their motives....to God, life is more valuable than property...
Your thoughts??
Don't flame me, I'm as pro-death penalty as they get....
well fact is he shot him in the back (he was running away)
So as long as you don´t live in texas he shot an unarmed person who was running away and this is a crime.
Throughout the Old and New Testaments, both God and Jesus tell us that we must be prepared to defend ourselves against those who would attack us.
There should be no reason to NOT use maximum force against a perp if you feel your life is in danger.
O no kidding? Thanks for the extra information. Very interesting. Were you home at the time?
I agree ,
and with Abathar,
Message Sent to Perps, though ,is The Bum is Still Dead
Since money and the things it can buy represent something precious and irreplaceable, there is good reason to use deadly force to keep control of something you own. That something that is irreplaceable, is your time. You are born with only so much of it, you traded some of it, or maybe a lot of it, for money to buy goods. By stealing your goods, they are actually taking a part of your life energy. Damn right deadly force is justified. For a sack of marbles no, but for a car or a wallet or purse, yes.
That's what I keyed in on as well.
"Ingram's attorney said his client was merely attempting to hold Lucas for the police, but when the teen ran, Ingram fired several shots after him."
No justificiation for lethal force if he was RUNNING AWAY.
Don't worry, after your use of harsh language while he's running away, he'll reform and never steal again. He won't learn to pick a weaker more helpless victim, either, like a 90 year old lady who will die from being knocked to the ground trying to hold on to her wedding ring.
All will be well.
There should be no reason to NOT use maximum force against a perp if you feel your life is in danger.
"Speaking of Texas..(I'm assuming you live there) a few months ago there was a man,from TX, who witnessed some thieves trying to break in to his neighbors house and he called 911 and then proceeded to tell the operator he was going to have to shoot them and she was trying to convince him not to. But he did anyway...can't remember if he killed one or just wounded them. Did you hear about that or what happened to the guy?"
The perp was a black illegal alien. He was attempting to leave the scene of a felony with stolen goods and was killed by the home owner next door. The shooter was not charged with anything because the killing was legal under Texas law.
Well, he stopped the thieves from doing it again. Next time they may have brought a gun and killed some innocent.
That has always been my take on it as well. When you steal something from me, you are taking a part of my life. I only have so much life to go around...
I would think a gunshot wound to the chest would be sufficient to justify self-defense.
Does that go the same for cops? IF you run they shouldn't shot you?
Sorry, I'm as second amendment as one can get, but this is wrong.
You don't shoot a teenager running away from you. Your life was not in peril, your property was actually not taken based on the article.
There are several better options than opening fire. You can hit a house, a stray car.
You are responsible for every bullet fired from your weapon.
Plus this type of senseless killing give the gun grabbers plenty of ammo to make their ignorant points
Which police dept. has a policy of shooting perps running away?
Granted, I'm sure some jack booted roided out thug LEO's do it, but it isn't policy
"Oficer, I shot the thief because he violated the sanctity of my home / car / boat / whatever. I have insurance to cover the loss of the property".
Hey if you break into my home i will definitely point a gun at "your" head. But then again would i really fire in your back if you just run away? i guess not!
As long you are no danger to me or my family i´m not willing to kill you because i don´t care if law allows me or if it doesn´t. At the end i´m a human beeing and i don´t kill people just because some law might say that i have been correct under the current state of law.
I don't know. Ask a cop. ;-)
What I wish to do differs from what I can legally do. In Virginia, one can NOT use LETHAL force on someone who is fleeing.
Just remember that next time he WILL bring a gun and some of his friends who have guns WILL bring theirs and they just won't rob you, they will kill you.
Here is a NY Slimes report to corroborate the above.
Castle Doctrine needs to be nationwide whereever someone is.
Property needs to be included as well nationwide.
The deck needs to be stacked with the victim not the criminal.
Common criminals are cowards, they already know I am armed, so I doubt they would come back for a second chance at robbing an armed man.
Sorry, but most teenagers aren't hard core criminals who would come back for a revenge killing.
That's the chance I'd take before shooting an unarmed teenage running away from me
Yes, it is legal here in Texas, as you say, to use deadly force to protect your property, if you catch the perps actually committing the crime.(can't go find 'em later, shoot 'em and get stuff back) and I don't know about shooting them in the back. Seems like I read it has to be at night before you can do that?
Hopefully the jury will act with more sanity than law enforcement.
The jury in most states, I suppose, would have no choice. I suspect most states hold that one can only use deadly force if being attacked and feared for his life and/or grievous bodily harm.
I am of mixed minds about this.
It is never a good idea to think that a gun gives you control over a situation, because it does not. In fact, it reduces your control to just four things: put your gun back in your holster, pistol whip someone, fire a warning shot, or shoot them.
For a lot of situations, these are not enough options, which is why police really like Tasers.
In this case, the gun owner felt he had control, which in his mind reduced his choice to shoot or don't shoot. When the thief darted away, it was an almost instinctual response to fire at him.
If at all possible, it is good to suggest to yourself that if you draw your gun, try to get a long blunt object in your other hand. Doing so gives you *more* control, because you have more options at close quarters.
And this last bit is critical. If you have a gun, you should avoid getting too close to an opponent. It is best if you stay 10-15 feet away, which is still "point blank range", but any closer, and he might be inclined to try and rush you.
If you need to approach him, do so with the blunt object ahead and the gun back, well away from him.
Sorry but a terrorist wants to kill me. So does someone who has a weapon who enters my home. But if someone is unarmed
he is still a criminal if he enters my home but then again
i´m, not willing to kill someone as long he/she is no treath to my live. And fact is when i point a gun to your head and you are running away then you are no danger to my life. Full stop! Does this mean that i don´t care? Well definitely no. But does this mean that i´m not willing to kill for this then yes. Just a question have you killed someone? I have and it haunts me. (but this was even my opinnion before this did happen) so nothing changed. I would never kill someone as long as my life is not in danger only because the law says i might be legal able to do this. (btw. before you get me wrong the people i have killed have been in afghanistan and i thought my life would have been in danger).
Try reading the second sentence.
He was shot in the chest.
Glad I don't live in that state.
It is in Texas.
SSS: Shoot, Shovel, and Shut up.
No, I didn't hear about it until that night...didn't realize anything had happened...and even then I wasn't sure where it had happened...but then a few days after there were protests and marches over by his house...then HIS neighbors complained and got something or some law passed to keep the protestors out of their neighborhood....it was a win for gun owners, anti-illegal immigration, and a stab at the race baiters all in one....

GETTYSBURG - There are rows of canvas tents here, thousands of soldiers outfitted in wool, and cast-iron pans set atop campfire enders.
When it comes to re-creating the lifestyle of 1863, most reenactors at the 150th Anniversary Reenactment of the Battle of Gettysburg this weekend aren't messing around.
But even the event's most fanatical participants will admit it: They're still citizens of 2013.
"You try and keep it hidden as much as possible," said Rick Hubbard, 55, from Stafford, Va., filling up his cooler with a bag of ice, a decidedly modern undertaking.
One of the goals for the camps this week, participants say, is to create a historically accurate portrayal of what Union and Confederate camps were like 150 years ago.
