Schuyler is my weird and wonderful monster-slayer. Together we have many adventures.
December 8, 2007
You say it's your birthday
It's worth pointing out that while this is an issue which Julie and I are always ready to take up, it's one that Schuyler never faces, not directly. I'm not even sure if she realizes that there are people out there that don't want her around them, or their kids. Schuyler turns eight in two weeks, which is certainly old enough to understand that people can be dicks when you're different. Largely because of her family and her teachers and friends who take up that fight on her behalf, however, Schuyler strides forward largely unhindered, and for now she seems unaware that it could be any other way for her.
If you've ever watched curling (and really, who hasn't?), imagine Schuyler as the player who throws the stone, and the rest of us out there with our little brooms, clearing the ice for her. (Wait, or perhaps she's the stone in this metaphor. That seems unflattering, now that I think of it.)
Today is a double birthday whammy for us. It's Julie's actual birthday (for which I set her alarm clock stereo to play this poignant musical tribute this morning), but we're also having a joint birthday party for Schuyler and her best friend from her Box Class today. It's causing all sorts of happy confusion for her, but I'm sure it'll all sort itself out, and by the time her actual birthday rolls around, Schuyler will be ready to do it all over again.
(I got her a pterodactyl, by the way. She's digging pterodactyls these days, like only a dainty little girl can.)
The interesting thing about this birthday party is that when Schuyler and her friend get around neurotypical kids (and there'll be a lot of them at this party, maybe half the total number), they tend to blow them off and ignore them in favor of their own little world, one in which they communicate with either their devices or their own secret little language of Martian and special sign language. When Schuyler and her friends get together, inclusion gets turned on its head.
Which I find to be strangely satisfying, speaking of schadenfreude.

"..inclusion gets turned on it's head" - I know just what you mean. My son's teacher came over one evening, and she and I and my son were signing away (she and my son are both deaf) and my boyfriend's daughter, said "it's not fair, I can't understand what is going on", first time she realised that this is what it is like for my son most of the time!

Happy, happy birthday, Julie! Many happy returns of the day.

Happy birthday! I am a registered nurse in an ER, and finding parents that care this much, with the strength to speak out is another example of the good we can find in our world. God bless you and your family. As we say in the Airborne, "I've got your back! Airborne, All the way!"

Your PJM post fascinated me. You and Julie seem to be seriously missing the point. Regarding your daughter, I doubt very seriously that there are "people out there that don't want her around them" as you say. I bet they just don't want your child's special needs slowing down the progress of their own children.
I'm sure your kid is great. I have a nephew with Aspergers. Once you get accustomed to him, he's great, and a friggin' genius to boot. We probably both agree that special kids can be wonderful.
But when you suggest that making sure that the child gets the special care he/she needs is the responsibility of the school, you lose me as a fan. That's YOUR job. Special kids need different forms of education. To put them in the 'mainstream' as you call it would be to force all of the other students to learn less as your child's special needs are addressed. Leave the school out of it. It's up to YOU.
I can't believe you said 'a little socialism won't kill you.' A little socialism kills everyone a little. Sheesh. Why not say 'A few rat turds in your soup won't kill you'? - 10:12 AM
- Rob said...
Jesus H. T-F Christ, I am so sick of the whole "special needs kids are going to slow everyone down!!!" argument. it's a strawman, and when you possess even the most basic information about how the system works, you look like a moron for even saying it.
Educate yourself. Look up Individualized Education Program so you can see how a plan is developed for every special education student in the country, by the parents, the teachers and the support staff so that the appropriateness of things like mainstreaming are determined, with both the student's and the school community's interests in mind.
While you're at it, go read up on the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act so you can see the big bad federal law that mandates that the IEP be followed and agreed upon by all the parties involved, not just the parents.
Or simple continue to be stupid, and loudly so. There are all sorts of federal laws protecting that right, too. - 10:24 AM
- Niksmom said...
Oh Rob! THANK YOU for that comment! I have been sitting here screaming at my poor computer at all the assinine comments from people about how our "special" kids slow down theirs or take the lunch money from their pockets or whatever other bullshit they bandy about. F-ing educate YOURSELVES, morons!
Um, sorry...Happy Birthday (late) to Julie! - 12:35 PM
Rob, I just came upon your blog...Fan-effing-tastic! Parents of *typical* kids will never get it, but that shouldn't stop us from speaking up and shouting 'Strawman'!
Makes me embarassed to be a conservative when I read comments like those from Bloga*fog.* Thank God there are parents on both sides of the political fence that have children with unique abilities such as ours.
Seriously, why do these parents consistently think our children are *dummying-down* the classroom? My fifth grader is at a second-third grade math & reading level. He's not expected to sit in on fifth grade math and reading for crying out loud! My son gets pulled out and is taught math & reading at his level. Mr. Bloga*fog*...Get it? My son isn't slowing down the other math and reading whizzes in his grade.
Oh and here's another rub...While your child is being taught reading and math by NCLB-required *highly qualified math and reading teachers,* my son gets remedial help from special ed teachers with no specific math or reading background. Sometimes he doesn't even get the unspecialized (60 year old, tenured) special ed teacher as she has been known to slough my son off to her teaching aide (no college degree required) twice a week.
And while we're at it...My son will never use a dime from the following budgets: Athletic (coaching salaries + state/league dues + transportation + uniforms + officials + court/field maintenance), music (teacher salaries + transportation + building usage) , drama (teacher subsidy + props + building usage + electric bill + copyright fees), or clubs set aside for *typical* children to participate in. My son will go to school, 6 hours a day and come home. Any extracurricular activities we feel are appropriate for him will be paid for by us, his parents. In middle and high school, my son will begin vocational training so he can be prepared to live independently and off "the system" to the best of his/our ability.
These people will never get that the practice of institutionalizing and segragating disabled children is over. O-V-E-R! Suck it up people. I don't view educating our children as a sprinkle of socialism, just basic human decency and common sense. - 2:05 PM
- Rob said...
You know, your point about all the school programs that our kids WON'T be using is an excellent point. I don't think I'd ever thought of it that way.
"Plano Independent School District, please do me a favor and put Schuyler's share of the choir and speech club budget towards her AAC class. Thank you." - 2:09 PM
- MsWhite said...
I'll add a little more fuel to the fire (to burn that strawman once and for all). I have three kids - one of whom has a disability that manifests itself primarily in his executive processing. As his IQ is in the normal to above normal range (over 100), he is entitled to LD services in teamed/inclusive core classes.
Yes, I said ENTITLED - it's the law, Whiny McWhinestein.
My other two children have special education needs on the OTHER end of the spectrum - they have been identified as "gifted and talented learners." According to our district, and most others, this means they cannot be educated in the general education classroom (and isn't that special ed?). They require additional services including enhanced textbooks and materials (frequently consumables that must be replaced annually), teachers with additional training and certification, and access to advanced programs such as AP and IB, which cost a great deal of money to implement and maintain. Of course, because of these increased costs, only certain schools can have "GT centers," which means many of these students must be transported to the center nearest their base school (and gas costs HOW much per gallon right now?). Of course, these students also participate in a myriad of extracurricular activities (between the two of them, mine are in orchestra, musical theater, choir, and robotics, and one plans to play soccer in high school). Cha-ching!!!
But, that's different, right?
Wrong! No one complains about the amount of money spent on these extremely NON-neurotypical kids because we, as a society, assume they will be the success stories. These kids are WORTH it.
Ted Bundy and David Berkowitz both had IQs in the gifted range. The Unabomber was an off-the-charts genius. I wonder how much was spent on their educations.
Every gifted kid is not a potential serial killer, but neither is every kid with a disability a potential drain on society. Rather, by educating our children with their non-disabled peers and giving them typical role models and opportunities to interact and participate in real-life situations, we are preparing them to become MORE independent, MORE self-sufficient, and LESS reliant on ignorant tax-paying schmucks to support them for the rest of their lives!
FWIW, all three of my kids are honor roll students (my SpEd kid - in SPITE of his teachers).
And, if I may hijack this blog for one last point - if there are not, in fact, "people out there who don't want [him] around them," then please explain to me why all of his friends are at a party this afternoon (hosted by one of his closest friends) to which he was not invited? I appear to have misread the uncomfortable "what if it's contagious?" expression on the adults' faces whenever my child is around, and I eagerly anticipate your enlightened answer. - 3:20 PM

I just wanted to say Happy Birthday! to Julie. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIE! I hope it is a wonderful day.
- britmummybites said...
Instead of the UK, am sending you this message from Orlando.
Happy belated birthday Julie hope the day went well.
Going to leave the other thing along due to being on holiday and trying to enjoy it. - 3:47 PM

You're simply not being honest if you don't think putting a child who needs extra help won't slow down the amount of information being passed to the children who don't need extra help.
But I do apologize for commenting here. I saw you on PJ and assumed you were not liberal. You and I could never see the world eye to eye :). - 5:31 PM
- kch said...
I'm a typical teacher at a typical high school, and parents like Blogagog drive me absolutely batty. I teach in an integrated high school math classroom. I teach autistic teens, neurotypical teens, ADHD teens, so-called "gifted" teens, fetal-alcohol teens, BD teens, pregnant teens... and if we start segregating out children like Schuyler, next it's the autistic teens, next it's the pregnant ones, next... it's YOUR children who won't be allowed to have the best and brightest teachers, the newest and shiniest technology, the new pedagogy.
No one learns less in my classroom. Everyone learns differently. And yes, it's my responsibility, along with my IEP students, their caseworkers and their parent(s), to make sure their needs are being met and that they are working up to their potential. It's the school's responsibility for those students, just like it is for EVERY OTHER STUDENT, because no one student is worth more or less than any other student. Some require more support (our homeless students, for example--should we kick them out too?). But that's our JOB.
Anyway, that's the view from this angle. Yes, it's a challenge in the classroom, but it makes me a better teacher, and it makes our classroom a stronger learning environment when everyone in it is not the same. - 7:15 PM
- Rob said...
You're simply not being honest if you don't think putting a child who needs extra help won't slow down the amount of information being passed to the children who don't need extra help.
First of all, why does disagreeing with you make me dishonest? That seems like an incredibly narcissistic and dickish angle to take.
Secondly, does needing extra help automatically disqualify a student from mainstream classes in your perfect school world? Because I do believe that covers a lot more students than the special needs ones. You can add any kid with a learning disability to your "kick 'em out" list.
Narcissistic, dickish AND elitist. You're working awfully hard for a Saturday. - 7:43 PM
- Megan said...
Happy birthday, Julie!
What boggles my mind is that some people believe parents should pay for their child's non-typical education -- gifted/advanced programs, extra help for learning disabilities, special education classes, support teams, etc -- or suggest that private schools are the obvious solution.
Public education is FREE. Theoretically, everyone pays taxes supporting public education, everyone's kid should get the same quality of education. I know this is not the case, but it's the principle. I really don't see what's so unfair about that -- the 'typical' children are not having their education changed; and I do believe they are getting a broader education on humanity.
(And happy early birthday to Schuyler!) - 11:28 PM
- Susan said...
You know, I don't recall having special needs students in my classes. And I think I'm worse off because of this. If I were to be truly, brutally honest--mentally challenged people make me nervous. I don't like to be around them, which makes me feel like an ass.
But maybe, just maybe, if I'd had a little more exposure during my childhood, I wouldn't be afraid of those who are a little different than myself.
I think it's horrifically ignorant of us to think that we should take all of the children who don't fit into our idea of "normal" and think we should throw all of them together in one class so that they can all be retarded together, so that we don't have to deal with their needs.
What if a kid can't spell? Should he be thrown in with the retards? Or the kid for whom numbers just don't make sense, but he can spell better than all the other kids. Slap a retard label on him and throw him in the retard room? Oh, or the kid with a speech impediment. Might as well just throw him in there, too.
Isn't that room getting a little full?
And if the retard room is getting fuller, isn't the "normal" room getting empty? Huh, maybe the kids with problems (read: everybody) are exactly the ones we should be catering to. But maybe that's just me... - 12:16 AM
- Susan said...
Oh yeah, and Blogagog, are you fucking kidding me?
"But I do apologize for commenting here. I saw you on PJ and assumed you were not liberal. You and I could never see the world eye to eye :)."
How sad for you that you can't handle anyone who thinks differently than you. Really, I mean it, I feel sorry for you. But I still wouldn't throw you into a reject room so I could forget about you... - 12:23 AM
- Orfhlaith said...
My kid doesn't slow any one down. He is deaf, ASL is his first language, and despite this, while in 2nd grade, he beat 22 other hearing TYPICAL kids to win the spelling be. He actually went to the district level, but didn't want to go to state! Also, when it comes to cost, my son's first set of hearing aids cost $2,300. 3 yrs later, his second set cost almost $6,000. Now he wears cochlear implants and I pay insurance for those, I pay out of pocket for batteries (try 6 675 batteries every 3 days), accessories (cords, microphones etc). Then, there is the cost of speech therapy. My insurance covers 6 sessions a YEAR. I pay $90 a week for that. Plus, because of his CP, he needs OT and SI therapy, that's another $85 a week. Then, he can't go in a "neurotypical" swim class cos no-one can communicate with him, so I pay $35 for one-on-one, once a week. Hmm, let me see, did I forget anything?
Yes, the school provides an interpreter for him, and he gets accommodations on his IEP for motor problems, but this doesn't impact any other child in the school. Sorry your lousy argument doesn't work for me! - 9:22 AM
- MsWhite said...
You're simply not being honest if you don't think putting a child who needs extra help won't slow down the amount of information being passed to the children who don't need extra help.
You just had to go there, didn't you?
You want me to be honest? Fasten your seatbelt - it's going to be a bumpy ride.
IEP students who are included in general education classrooms and who require a level of educational assistance that is beyond what is usually available are almost always placed in classes with a general education teacher AND a special education teacher. These teachers must be state-licensed according to the same standards as their gen ed counterparts. In addition, if they spend any time teaching special education students exclusively, they must be highly qualified in one or more content areas. Thus, the students in the class have TWO teachers, which gives them twice the instructional attention and twice the instructional resources.
Students in these classes are held to the same state-mandated learning standards as every other student in the state, so the information MUST be delivered at the same pace. It is the SpEd teacher's responsibility to ensure that her students are keeping up by monitoring their accommodations and working with them OUTSIDE of class as needed. If these students fall significantly behind, a change of placement (to a self-contained SpEd class) is usually considered by the IEP team.
Now, I will be the first to admit that there are some crappy SpEd teachers out there, but there are also some crappy gen ed teachers. There are crappy lawyers, doctors, salespeople...you get the idea. There are also some outstanding SpEd teachers, of whom I am one. I am highly qualified in my subject area, I have a masters degree in education, and I have been in inclusive classrooms where I have more content knowledge and better teaching practices than the gen ed teacher. ALL of the students in my classes benefit from my presence and from the presence of one another.
THAT is what inclusion is all about.
Happy Birthday, Julie! I heard somewhere that every time a troll comments, a birthday wish comes true - so make a bunch! - 12:06 PM
Dear Mr. Uneducated Blogagog:
(oh, and forgive me, Rob for hijacking, I just couldn't hold myself back......) Please see the below research citing that your argument is nothing but BUNK.
Happy to educate you, but sorry you had to "slow down" the progress of Rob's blog....
mom to a nonverbal son who is fully included with peers who have families that are welcoming and embrace him.....just as it should be!
Q: Will having a child with a disability in a general education classroom lower the academic expectation for all the other students?
A: No evidence validates the concern that the presence of children with disabilities will negatively impact the districts norm-referenced achievement scores. In fact, studies have consistently indicated that when students with disabilities are provided with supports and services to access the general education curriculum, their peers maintain state benchmark-level performances, and the students with disabilities experience higher academic and social achievement.

Oh, and Happy, Happy birthday to Julie...and early birthday to sweet Schuyler!
- Rob said...
I say this with absolute seriousness.
God, I love the internet. - 11:38 PM
- Rob said...
Seriously. Did I mention that I love the internet?
- Rob said...
That first link was to a comment that has now been removed, sadly. I say sadly because, among other things, it refferred to me as a "Nazi" and Schuyler as "feeble minded".
To be honest, I'm sorry it was deleted. There was nothing threatening or obscene about it. I'm not sure why it was flagged as inappropriate, other than it was probably embarrassing to PajamasMedia as representative of a section of its readership. Which it should have been, but whatever. Dance with the one you brought, PJM. - 6:18 AM
Dear Parents who are fretting about whether their neurotypical kids are being slighted by special-needs kids being mainstreamed:
I'm wondering -- is there a reason why you haven't been putting all that energy into campaigning your school to update their damn textbooks? Because piss-poor books that are already in classes strikes me as being a bigger detriment than whether a particular child maybe might be in the class.
(Sorry, flashback to Junior High in 1982 and having a science textbook from 1962. - 9:05 AM
Hi, Rob.
I actually got a chance to read those vile comments by "curtis," and I'm not sure how I feel about them being deleted. On one hand, I agree that there was nothing threatening or obscene about them. I agree that they were probably deleted by the site to cover up the fact that their readers are Neanderthals. (They would have to delete a lot more comments than that one to cover that up, though.)
But I also felt uncomfortable for you, because your sweet daughter's picture was at the top of the page, only to have curtis call her "feeble minded" later on. I'm really glad you wrote those two articles for that site, and I think you've made a lot of people talk about and think about special needs parenting in a way that they probably never did before.
But are you bothered by the fact that Schuyler has been attacked personally now? And do you think you'll keep writing for them?
Thank you for everything you do out there for these kids. I've pre-ordered your book and can't wait to read it! - 10:07 AM
- Rob said...
Marta, something about all this has been bugging the crap out of me, but it wasn't until I read your comment that I suddenly got it. I think my response deserves a separate blog post, but thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
- kris said...
First off, happy belated to Julie. And I hope Schuyler and her buddies had a kick-ass birthday party. Wait, it was Schuyler's party...clearly, it was kick-ass.
You're simply not being honest if you don't think putting a child who needs extra help won't slow down the amount of information being passed to the children who don't need extra help.
In my years of teaching, I did not come across ONE student who did not need extra help. Sometimes it was the REALLY bright kid who got *everything* right away and needed "extra help" to stay engaged. Sometimes it was the middle of the road kid who got everything eventually, but was struggling with double digit subtraction. Sometimes it was the LD kid who needed me to say "just do these FIVE math problems" (instead of the page of 20) so she could meet with some success.
In this country, we guarantee education for all in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). We don't send kids away for being too fast or too slow or too difficult.
GAH. And, to end this on a positive note, I just have to laugh at the notion that Schuyler is slowing anyone down. I know that she struggles every day in the neurotypical world and I know that there are issues and difficulties we don't even know about. But, Rob, every story you share, every glimpse into Schuyler's world, makes me think that she's doing just fine. She's writing stories and spelling and reading and arithmeticking away.
I think it's the rest of us who are trying to keep up with *her.* - 11:02 AM
Hey, I was bored, miserable and "held back" every single year I was in school until I hit college and never had a single special needs student in any class - the system that aims for the middle of the pack, dumb middle class C+ mentality student held me back along with anyone else who gave a rat's patoot or had a brain. Help the special, help the gifted, its all good. Maybe we should leave the middle of the pack to fend for themselves? The world needs mediocre C+ people too...
Rob, did you read this comment over on Dr. Helen's blog, written by Helen herself"
"Exactly--and self-entitlement to the point where if we have to put in a socialist government to make sure that he gets what he needs, that's okay too. Or start a revolution over special education. Huh? What about all of the people that would hurt? Or does he know that little about the history of socialism?"
Does she think you were being LITERAL? Do these people not even understand metaphors? DO THEY READ BOOKS?!?
Meh. My heads hurts now. - 2:38 PM
- Rob said...
Here's the link again, for the morbidly curious.
She's a treat. - 2:44 PM
Rob, she STILL thinks that you are literally advocating socialist government, she just said it again. Also, why is she so upset about you and the issue of gifted students? Have you ever written anything about taking away from gifted student programs?
- Rob said...
(I'd ask her myself if I seriously thought I'd get a coherent response. No way am I posting a comment on her Blog of Delights, though.)
I have NO IDEA where the gifted students thing is coming from. Seriously. Why would I object to gifted students receiving special services? I didn't write about it because it's not my fight. I also never wrote about curing cancer or helping Smokey stop forest fires. Am I obligated to advocate for every cause under the sun, even if I know nothing about them?
As for the Socialism thing, I guess she's a literalist. Does she believe that Schuyler has an actual monster that lives in her head? (I'm envisioning the red hairy monster in the Chuck Taylors from the old Bugs Bunny cartoons.)
Idiot. Excuse me, Doctor Idiot. - 4:03 PM

TUCSON - Dustin Wernli's parents did not want to talk on camera, but they shared photos of their son. They say their Wernli was a Navy combat medic. In 2004, he was deployed with the Marine Corp in Iraq where he suffered a head injury from an explosion.
Tucson Police say Tuesday night Wernli called 911 saying he was suicidal and wanted police to shoot him.
Wernli pulled a gun on an officer and that's exactly what happened.
Doctor Dan Ranieri works for La Frontera Arizona where they help veterans who are returning from war.
"They're having a hard time finding homes, they're having a hard time finding jobs, they're having a hard time staying in jobs once they find they're having a difficult time with their relationships," Ranieri said.
He says the military set a record this year with an active service member committing suicide about once a day. Ranieri says there are lots of places for soldiers to find support sometimes too many.
"There are so many places to go that it gets pretty confusing and just the shear confusion of it all it may force somebody to inaction."
Ranieri has treated many veterans and does not want them to wait until their suicidal.
"If you're struggling and you need a helping hand that's the best time. Obviously the earlier in the process the better," he said.
Dustin Wernli's parents say their son was in treatment for post-traumatic stress but like a lot of other veterans, his suicidal thoughts ended in his death.

+ Roundabouts not a good match for boat ramp
Dear Editor:
I just read your story about the future roundabouts on U.S. 41 at Sixth, 10th and 14th streets. It seemed odd that one major attraction at that intersection wasn't mentioned at all — the most-popular boat ramp in Sarasota County. Roundabouts are great, however, when navigated with a vehicle with a large boat trailer it is a recipe for trouble. Not to mention the fact that the plans will limit access to the ramp to only one entrance-exit.
As a local business owner and an avid boater, I am deeply concerned that this issue is being overlooked. Shouldn't this issue be brought up? This decision will certainly affect a large number of Sarasota residents — including charter captains, law enforcement, the Offshore Grand Prix and marine-repair facilities / boat builders who rely on this ramp.

+ Civil Service Board protects its own
Dear Editor:
Officer Jay Childers' videotaped beating of a handcuffed prisoner is well documented. No assault charge was ever brought against this officer. Now, Sarasota's Civil Service Board has voted to ignore that tape and accept the testimony of another police officer who stated under oath that Childers "pushed" or "shoved," not "kicked," the prisoner. It's not hard to see the difference between a kick with the foot and a shove with the hand.
This just proves the lie to protect one's own mentality is alive and well at the Sarasota Police Department. And, as far as the Civil Service Board? It's about the money ... legal costs for Sarasota, going forward with this officer's continued appeal.

- Re: Boat Trailers and the roundabout at 10th in the Observer Letter from Mr. Harry Owen. The modern roundabouts on US41 are designed to accommodate boats-on-trailers, 18 wheelers, fire engines, etc., with a "truck apron" feature providing extra area for the rear wheels safely smoothly turn through. See how that happens in a video of an oversize-load mobile home doing so at http://sarasotaconnectivity.com/videos/. That's to say, the roundabout itself is a separate matter from whatever movement or parking of boat trailers issues in the Centennial Park boat ramp area-- see http://goo.gl/maps/jfzm7
We are citizens advocating these significant US41 multimodal improvements along US41 for smoother, safer movement by all users (drivers, walkers, bikers, boaters, etc.). We offer our website as a continually updated resource for background and ongoing activity as www.US41Momentum.com

How to get the LOWEST price at Priceline.com

I wonder if this is good advice after all, but it is alot of work. I guess nothing comes good unless you work hard. :-)
Now PL knows the trick and they are going to make it harder. But PL dont mind you know what the lowest price is. There are websites that post successful bids by users. Last edited by chong67; 05-21-2006 at 02:23 PM.. |
although this probably will work, here is my suggestion to legally get the lowest price....
http://p070.ezboard.co amazing help for free. |
I Love it!!! Thanks - While it may be against PL's business policies, it certainly isn't shady. After all isn't the desired end result, for both you and priceline, for you to end up buying a hotel? PL makes money on EVERY SINGLE SUCCESSFUL TRANSACTION, through their service charges and markups from the hotels themselves. The alternative is that you do it the 'right way' and possibly end up underbidding and get nothing, in which case neither you nor PL benefit. Someone please go post this on BIDDINGFORTRAVEL.com, I'd like to see that old bat Sheryl the Moderator get her panties in a wad over this, (I'd do it myself but she banned me for calling her rude).

REDDITCH and Bromsgrove magistrates held a hugely successful open day on Saturday, allowing the public to see what goes on behind the scenes of the justice system.
There was the chance for people to find out about work being done to prevent crime, about keeping children safe online, the work by St Basil's with the homeless, there was a mock trial to watch and even the chance to be locked in a cell and travel in prison transport.
There was also a presentation by the Safer Roads Partnership, an explanation on the work of Geese Theatre, which works with offenders, and the Lucy Faithfull Foundation, working with sex offenders, as well as a talk by My Time counselling, and a presentation on abusive relationsips.
A spokesman said: "It was a very successful day, and more than 600 people came along.
"We would like to thank everyone who made the day such a success, particularly GeoAmey, which delivers prisoner escort custody services (PECS) across England and Wales
"They made a huge commitment, providing four staff plus a huge prison van, plus taking the 'defendant' up and downstairs to and from the mock trials, as well as running nine or 10 cell tours for us.
"This made a very significant contribution to our event and we are very grateful."

Daring. Different. Delicious. There's high end dining. There's low end dining. And then there's everything else in between. We'd like to introduce you to another level - Deep End Dining. We are diners dedicated to seeking and devouring the food uncommon, cuisine exotic and entrées less ordered. Have an open appetite and get ready to plunge into...the Deep End.
Mar 27, 2007
I'm Huge in Spain! Deep End Dining on The Main Ingredient with Host Kelli Brett on Spain's Hot FM.
The internet is truly amazing. As a blogger, it's really exciting to know that people from virtually anywhere in the world could be reading my stuff. Even as we speak, somebody from Spain might be reading this post. Then, the next thing you know I end up on a Spanish FM radio station talking about rock cod eyeballs and chocolate covered crickets for Halloween.
It's a small world after all.
The Main Ingredient with Kelli Brett is a food show on Spain's Hot FM. Whenever I explain the show to people, the description can get a little confusing. The show is produced in Spain but is not a Spanish language show - it's in English. The host Kelli Brett is a smart and sassy ex-pat from Australia who discusses food in all its glorious forms. Put it all together and you have an Aussie in Spain talking food in English to a Chinese-American guy about odd eats in the US. Not confusing at all. Makes perfect sense, right?
I have been a guest on The Main Ingredient three times via telephone. I normally get the call at 8AM Eddie time which is 5PM Kelli time. At that hour I'm mainlining my first cup of coffee while she's sipping sangria.
Recently I got an mp3 of the frightful Halloween special Kelli and I taped back in October 2006.
Also on that special I recite some of a myspace friend's weird food poem. This horrifying poetry slam is accompanied by scary echo effects on my voice, spooky music and creepy sound effects.
Gracias, my Spanish amigos y amigas!
Hope you enjoy it whoever and wherever you are.

One Motorcyle Show - 21 Helmets
Here's something a little bit left of field. Thor Drake from See See motorcycles has organised a 'helmet art show' which is part of the upcoming One Motorcycle Show in Portland. The free event will be on February 10th - 11th and if it's anything like previous years then there'll be loads of outstanding rides to gawk at as well. On the helmet side of things, it's a concept named '21 Helmets' and is pretty simple, 21 artists paint 21 different Bell 500 helmets. Below is a selection of some of the lids that are part of the exhibition plus a sweet little video Thor put together to promote the event. So if you're in the Portland area around those times, you'd be off your head to miss this one.

The sharp-looking family of MAZDA6 mid-size sedans comes with a choice of two different engines, and even though these two engines give the car quite a different performance feel, they're both fun to drive. MAZDA6 'I' models come with a 170-horsepower, 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, mated to a close-ratio 6-speed manual gearbox (base Sport models only) or a 5-speed automatic transmission. These models have adequate power with the automatic transmission, though driving enthusiasts will find more fun with the neat-shifting manual.
Otherwise, those who want more power can opt for the MAZDA6 's', which includes a 272-hp, 3.7L V6 engine and 6-speed automatic transmission. With this top-of-the-line powertrain, the Mazda6 is strong and smooth, with a very responsive feel and lots of reserve power for passing and quick takeoffs. The automatic transmissions feature adaptive shift control--to hold revs when in a corner, for example--as well as manual control.
The Mazda6 also offers good handling for a mid-size sedan, with a rather firmly tuned but absorbent four-wheel independent suspension, as well as hydraulic-boost steering that's nicely weighted and predictable.
While the Mazda6 is clearly one of the sportier picks in its class, it's also one of the roomier picks. Its interior has soft yet supportive seats for those in front--in black or beige cloth for entry models, or black or beige leather for top-of-the-line models--while in back there's enough legroom and headroom to fit two adults on a long road trip or three for a shorter time. And the back seat has split-folding seatbacks that can expand the trunk's already very roomy trunk.
Opting for one of the 4-cylinder 'I' models earns you a more affordable price, as well as a choice of four different trim levels. Base Sport models include air conditioning, power locks, power windows (auto-up for the driver), a height-adjustable driver's seat, tilt/telescopic steering-wheel adjustment, steering-wheel audio controls, cruise control, remote keyless entry and a 6-speaker audio system. Above that, Touring trims get larger 17-inch alloy wheels and fog lamps on the outside, plus Bluetooth hands-free and streaming audio capability, a 6-disc changer, a power driver's seat, a trip computer and leather trim for the steering wheel and shift knob. Touring Plus models add 18-inch alloy wheels, a moonroof and blind-spot monitoring, while at the Grand Touring level you get leather seats (heated in front), dual-zone climate control, an upgraded center console, a 4.3-inch display with rearview camera system.
On top-of-the-line models, a Technology Package adds satellite radio, push button start, advanced keyless entry, rain-sensing wipers, a universal garage-door opener, body-color mirrors and LED rear lamps. A full voice-control DVD navigation system is available in addition to this package and includes real-time traffic functions.

Article On A Long Thin Wire
Guitar, drums, bass, keys, maybe a DJ scratching a disc if you're hip. You're hip, right? That's what you need to make music, ya? Forget the laptop, you tool. Without these things you'd be reduced to a cappella, yes? Well, there's a lot more to the world that can be used to produce a work of music, or sound art, or whatever you want to call it, and a lot of it is really brilliant.
Sound can come from many things. Often, the knee-jerk reaction is to dismiss sound art as ridiculous; it gets a lot of flak, and there will always be opponents to anything new, but one thing we're hoping to do here on this site is to introduce listeners to new forms of music; we do this for the love of music. Try it, you might like it. All you need to do is open up your mind and ears and accept music from another approach.

Online Reservations
Delicious food! We will definitely be going back. Someone below us had the campfire smores dessert and it smelled amazing! It had a little fire right on the plate.
Visited during restaurant week, the overall experience was decent but not amazing. The food was tasty but the portion sizes were very small, I ordered from the restaurant week menu so maybe the normal portion sizes are better.
- Yellow tomato soup: yum! - Asian pear salad: very healthy and tasty. - Seared salmon: loved the pumpkin sauce! - Pot of gold: a veggie dish, a bit bland, we got by by mixing in sauce from other dishes. - Chocolate decadence & cheesecake: desserts were also great! Our waiter was very attentive. The chef came to talk to us several times, and we were offered a sample of caramelized pork belly skewer, which had an Asian touch to it! The decor is great, and I like the modern, fresh atmosphere of the restaurant. It's a nice time hanging out with a good friend, and it's even better that the place added so much enjoyment!
Great for a group to share small plates- definitely recommend the lobster mac and cheese and the spring rolls. They have an amazing white sangria! Love that the Head Chef is visible and interacts with customers.
Amazing food, amazing glass window view, very contemporary! Great place for a date night!
I took my husband and 17 year old son here for my husband's birthday. The food is phenomenal (the fish tacos are the best I've had in Raleigh). The atmostphere is pleasantly modern and bright - 2 stories completely open with floor to ceiling windows. Really nice staff. We had the smore's for dessert which were an awesome alternative to cake. My "non-foodie" teen age son thought it was really great, and not just because one of the options was mac n cheese. Highly recomment
Wonderful small plates , love menu and service !! Will return !!!
How do you explain how wonderful the fusion of flavors explode in your mouth. It was difficult not to lick each plate. I would list my favorites....but there are many.
Great food and our server was fantastic! A little busy so not somewhere you go for a quiet meal. Good place to go with a group and share the tapas!!
We went for our second time but with another couple for their first time. While we love seafood, our friends were not big fans so we got to experience all new dishes with them! We loved the spring rolls, short ribs, chicken skewers, green beans. We were so caught up with all our food coming in that we didnt realize we got the smoky ribs, too, even though we didn't order them! We told our server after we ate them and she didn't charge us! The only thing is that it is a little loud even without music. We were seated upstairs as opposed to downstairs this time. You would think it was more secluded but the sound carried up from below so don't sit up top if you want a quiet intimate area. Other than that, excellent food and prime spot downtown.
Chris was exceptional. Food was great and very friendly. GIve him a raise.
I pleasant find - was a little unsure of the style of ordering lots of small services but quickly found it to be delightful. Food was excellent - European fare - comes out with done and not based on any set course. Spring rolls were awesome - as well beets and goat cheese. I wish I had more of the cheese - it could be a main appetizer.
One of the handful of restaurants in Raleigh with a truly professional wait staff, Oro offers delicious tapas and large plates in a vibrant, hip atmosphere. We sampled five or six tapas dishes (larger portions are a plus) and they were uniformly very good (4 stars) with some of them excellent (5 stars). Our waiter was the best -- very knowledgeable about both the menu and the extensive wine list. If you're over 35, you might want to make a reservation before 7:30 or 8:00, as the bar attracts a younger crowd and the downstairs can get a bit noisy. Opt for the upstairs dining loft. Our group had an excellent dining experience!
Our whole family really enjoyed ORO! The tapas menu was spectacular - great choices and delicious tastes. Our family had fun sharing the various plates and it was always easy to add more of the ones we especially liked. Don't leave without trying the tableside s'mores, especially if your middle school or teenaged kids are with you.
Oro does an amazing job of small plates which notably are not small at all. The chef is wonderful and personally came out to the dining room to check on everyone. Every dish was spectacular and the s'mores at the table was a fun way to end a fabulous meal! It's not only a great girls night out spot but a great place for business and a wonderful date night! I can't say enough about how much we loved our experience!
This resteraunt is a really awesome experience for new foodies.
We've been to Oro twice now in the past 3 months, and both visits have been outstanding. We had to wait a bit for our reservation, but once seated we had a wonderful experience in all respects. Everything on the menu that we've had has been excellent; this trip we particularly liked the Chilean Seabass, the shrimp and grits (really different, and delicious!), and a repeat of the gnocchi. We will be back, and we've already told lots of folks to go there.
The food at ORO was excellent! We tried both vegetarian and meat dishes. All were very tasty, artfully presented and just the right size for two to share. The wine list was impressive. The preponderances of hard surfaces make the space very loud. There were only a couple of groups dining, but it was so loud that it was difficult to carry on a conversation. Despite the loudness of the space, the food and wine are so good that we are planning a return trip with friends.
I went with my fiancé, and it was an all around amazing experience. The best service we have ever gotten in a restaurant.
I had a great time at ORO Restaurant. Not only was the food delicious but the service was pretty good and the ambiance was of a new, hot spot in town. If I have any issues with this establishment, its that it was a little loud (not the best for a romantic evening since you have to speak a bit loud to be heard across the table) and the prices of the tapas were about $3-5 too high in general. Once you've ordered 3 tapas a person to form a meal, you've spent $21-28 before drinks. I was expecting to spend a bit less...
excellent evening and great food. our waiter was extremely helpful and the i-pad ordering system was an innovative way to place orders. will definitely return
We went on a double date and absolutely loved the ambiance and the food was great. The best dish is their Campfire dessert s'mores. It was fun and easy to share, along with extra tasty. Definitely recommend going with a group to try out many of their unique dishes that vary in culture (rather than just Spanish tapas).
I love the small plates. My friend & I tried several small plates. We liked that we could share & try a variety of things. It made for a fun & unique dining experience. The chef came out & chatted with us & other customers & wanted to know not just if we liked the food, but what we liked about it. Great experience! I have already recommended to several friends & I will be back.
Reservation was honored and we were promptly seated. The decor is clean and modern. They play chill / lounge background music. Server was on the ball and informative. He explained the wine list and the Tapas menu in detail. He was not pushy and very down-to-Earth. The menu is Tapas style so you should plan to order 2 - 3 plates per course and preferably share (note this was for a party of 2). The menu has a lot of selection. We were not disappointed by any of our dishes. One thing to note: Filet Mignon was excellent but was small - supposed to be 3/4 size entree. Wild Mushroom Risotto was excellent! Exec Chef greeted each table too! If you want to splurge and have a nice dining experience, go to this place. You won't be disappointed.
Our first visit to ORO was very good. Very few people were there so our service was extremely fast. The best thing about ORO was the portion size. I have seen some tapas restaurants that have VERY small portion sizes and by the time you have 2 or 3 per person you've spent $30 per person. Oro's were large enough that we only needed 3 for 2 people. BUT this allowed us to order the AWESOME banana bread pudding!!!
The food was exceptional good, love the modern décor, and the small plate paring items were described accurately. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion celebratory experience. The cost is commensurate with the quality and the well prepared menu items with the Jamaican infusion.
We celebrated our anniversary at Oro. Our third visit to this urban tapas-style restaurant. We ordered four items: duck and waffles, pork belly skewers, fish tacos, and veal ravioli. Really, too much food for only 2 persons. It was all excellent. The duck was in a candy-like glaze, the waffles apple-flavored. The pork belly skewers is an item we always order. The fish tacos were good, but only average compared to San Diego's. The ravioli was tasty but not as notable. Local beers and good wine (a tad expensive on the wine). Service is great: lots of persons support the main waitperson.
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at ORO. This was our first time at ORO and we WILL be back. Menu was very attractive, service attentive but not intrusive and ambiance was very welcoming. We were fortunate to speak with owner/hchef Hylton who was super hospitable and made our night even more memorable. Suggestion - add Plavac Mali to your wine list - LOL good luck with that :). Thanks again......awesome night!!!!
Great tapas place downtown Raleigh. Service was great, food was really good and wine list is wonderful. Worth a visit if downtown.
We were looking for a nice tapas restaurant and found it. Awesome food and great ambiance. The chef even came out to chat with us. Nice touch. Tom & Barb Rochester, NY
My wife and I visited ORO during Raleigh Restaurant week and had delicious three course meals, as opposed to their normal tapas oriented menu. The location is great, with ample parking nearby and the inside is clean, bright and you get a great view from the second level balcony seating. The service was great and the meals were delicious. Absolutely, the best cheesecake I've ever had. Home made graham cracker "disc" crust with a super creamy and light citrus based cheesecake filling on top. It was accompanied with a wild berry compote on the sides. For the wine aficionados out there, they have a Enomatic dispenser for some of their high end wines, allowing you to get a smaller pour of high end wines. We will definitely return.
The dinner was prepared perfectly and service was outstanding. Oro will definitely be on my regular "out to eat list "often!
My husband along with another couple and I had dinner there before attending a downtown event.. food was great!!!it was the first time the other couple had been there and also stated that they enjoyed. .After event we decided to go back for a nightcap and sat at the bar waited til bartender finished her personal conversation before coming over without an greeting or glad to see you back. .we placed order and had to ask for a cocktail napkins in which she only gave me one since I was the one that asked so the others just got there own she never came back to see if we needed anything else and when asked what was her name she replied that she was the manager's wife which if that were the case. She should have really stepped up her game..rude!
Absolutely great romantic restaurant in a modern decor environment.
The food was amazing, the service was friendly, fun, and enthusiastic. We went there for a birthday dinner and it was a wonderful experience. Looking forward to the next visit.
We had the veal ravioli, ribs, and truffle Mac and cheese. Everything was excellent!! ESPECIALLY the truffle Mac and cheese. I loved my spicy Pisces cocktail as well. Service was top notch!!
Oro was AMAZING! We had such great, fun service and the food was delicious!!
The wife and I had a very nice time at Oro. The comfort food twist on tapas was well executed. The service was pretty good. This place is meant for sharing plates... and would be good for up to about six folks in a group -- more than that and I think the sharing would be problematic (unless you ordered multiples of the same dish). Easy parking in the deck over near Slim's right around the corner.
This is a large-small plate restaurant, in that it is a form of Tapas, but many dishes feed a couple of people. The food was delicious and covers a wide range -- soups, salads, pasta, and especially seafood, all presented in imaginative and visually appealing "petite" arrangements. Our waiter was cheerful and personable, and the owner came to our table at the end, just to chat and explain his history and approach. He used to have restaurants in DC, and has translated the upscale approach to NC and its more reasonable prices. We are from DC, and this place seemed like a major bargain in its prices, but the atmosphere and food were definitely sophisticated
This was my first experience at ORO, and I am very impressed. The small plates are perfect for a light dinner. There were three of us, and we ordered three plates, which was the perfect amount of food. The lamb chops were beautifully prepared, and the gnocchi was cooked just right. The server was knowledgeable, without being intrusive. I will definitely be back.
I took my best friend here to celebrate his 25th birthday. It was absolutely perfect. The food was amazing and unique and the service was wonderful. I would absolutely recommend this place.
My wife and I dined at Oro just before seeing CATS and everything about the experience was fabulous! Our waiter (Cory) was terrific and the small plates were extraordinary and delicious! The fish tacos were the best I've ever had. We highly recommend!
My husband and I dined here for our 3 year anniversary and it was an amazing experience! Owners Cara and Chris Hylton (also executive chef) really outdo themselves every night to make sure everything is just perfect. We would highly recommend this place to anyone - it was wonderful!
We made early reservations (5:15 pm) prior to attending a show downtown. There was only a handful of people since they had just opened so it was quiet. Beth, our server, explained that the menu was small plates, since it was our first time at the restaurant. Since they were small portions, we started out with three items--the truffle mac-n-cheese, the shrimp and grits, and the duck and waffles. All three were delicious with the duck and waffles being our favorite. My wife was pretty full after we finished these, but we still ordered the lamb chops because I wanted to try them. The two chops and the yucca fries (they call them chips) were also very tasty but not quite as 'unique' and the first three dishes. I highly recommend this place!
Food and service were all outstanding. I always appreciate a visit from the chef and I was not disappointed! This is a great place to enjoy dinner with friends. We will definitely return soon!
Food is very tasty, surprising and unique. Enough said!
I took my friend here for her birthday! Food is fantastic! (Only reason gave it 4 stars instead of 5, was one dish I didn't care for...The chicken skewers were my least favorite!) Everything else was delicious! Get the smores for dessert!
We were sat by the kitchen and got so hot that we had to leave. The food and service was great. We will definitely go back but request to be seated upstairs.
Chef was great! Hostess not too friendly Server was great!
The wine list is wonderful, full range of prices and varieties. We tried a few 4 oz. and a 2 oz...all were winners; and you get to try wines you probably would not buy because of the bottle cost. Mushroom risotto was amazing...a large serving; the Three Bean Cake was wonderful, topped with a variety of grilled vegetables. We are definitely going to return and work our way through the menu. Our server was well informed about the wines and food.
