Take a look at the pyrotechnics chapter of this side.\n\nhttp://www.vk2zay.net/\n\nCareful: it is neither simple nor without danger.

Well that depends.  Assuming you are in NYC (I am citing here because there are tons of case laws, the rules are reasonably refined), generally the city is NOT liable unless someone notifies the city a dangerous condition in writing prior to the injury. And perhaps this is the case everywhere in the US cities.\n\nAn exception to this notice requirement has been litigated based on a theory that the danger was apparent to the city that the city did not need the notice to realize such existence of dangerous condition.   HOWEVER, the recent case ruled that only such an exception applies to the case where the city itself made such a dangerous condition, i.e., city constructions ...

Generally everything below W 110th and E 96th are considered very safe. Safer than most places in the United States. Above those street boudaries lyes Harlem and eventually the Bronx. Not that all of Harlem is that bad anymore. Or the Bronx for that matter. Manhattan in the last ten years has almost completely cleaned up and turned into a very nice place to live.\n\nThe upper east side still has the best schools in Manhattan, but most of the Manhattan schools are of very high caliber.\n\nAs far as price goes, it's all over the board. There are a lot of affordable deals in lower Manhattan because of post-911 rebuilding. The upper east side is still more expensive than the upper west. Tribeca is quite expensive, but the lower east side, and neighborhoods surrounding NYU are generally cheaper.

Not safe and not that close..Harlem is too far north from NYU. Queens is also too far north from it too.\nI would check out Brooklyn..technically it is over the river from Manhattan and right across from downtown where NYU is. The subway wouldn't be that long.probably 5-10 minutes.  New Jersey may be another bet though. It is south like Brooklyn and not far from downtown Manhattan (where NYU is)

Go down to NYC for the weekend ... shouldn't have any trouble meeting anyone there, unless of course the problem is w/ you ... not the location. If you do indeed have a lot to offer, there shouldn't be a problem.

,Travel Security -- Isn't it dangerous out there?\nSome people are put off from independent travel by the apparent risks. Not only can you get sick, or killed in a bus wreck, but there may be people trying to rob you, cheat you, rape you, drug your drink, or maybe even put a knife in your ribs. \n\nI wish I could tell you that all of this is rubbish. Unfortunately, these things do happen to travelers. What I can tell you, however, is that in most countries I have traveled, I feel as safe or safer than I do at home. You will hear many horror stories on the Road, and some of them really make you want to catch the next flight home. There are tales of travelers contracting incurable diseases you have never even heard of, being thrown in jail after the police planted drugs in their room, being robbed of all they own and left in the wilderness, or being knifed on the street by robbers. One reason I tell you these stories is so you will not panic when you inevitably hear them recited by other travelers.  "My God! No one ever told us about that!" \n\nThis is a long discussion, during which you will hear about dozens of ways you can lose your belongings to thieves, and a few ways that you may be physically harmed. It can be discouraging just reading about it. Don't worry, in the process I will tell you exactly what you can do to make the chances of your becoming a victim very small. In many countries the dangers are few and can be avoided with basic precautions. \n\nPeople often use the word dangerous to describe the danger of theft, not bodily harm; do not confuse theft-prone with physically dangerous. In some of the most dangerous countries and cities in the Third World, there is very little risk of being physically attacked. You can read of innocent people being shot down by mass-murderers in the USA, and terrorist bombings in Europe. Personally, I am far more frightened by these random acts of violence at home than by the methodical workings of criminals in the Third World, who are only after your money. Learn how they work, and you will be safe. \n\nOut on the Road, you enter a new way of life. There are different rules out there, and more precautions to be learned. The local people already know the rules. The sooner you learn them, the more problems you will avoid. When you take precautions, you will be safe. When you feel safe, you can enjoy your trip. \nPedestrian Hazards \n\nThere are still a few isolated communities in the world where the local people are as ignorant as opossums about the dangers of stepping onto a highway. But any Third World child who has survived in a city until the age of seven is better prepared to take care of her/himself than most western travelers. In the Third World, you must watch out for yourself, because no one else will protect you from hazards. It is a world without pedestrian areas, and you must learn to share your space with numerous vehicles -- and that means 'get out of the way or be run down'! \n\nJust being aware of everything around you will save you from several painful encounters with bicycles, pushcarts, motorcycles, and even cars and trucks. It seems that some people are just instinctively aware of everything, while others are naturally oblivious to 80% of their surroundings. In the Third World -- where survival of the fittest still applies and pedestrians are at the bottom of the food chain -- the oblivious types are eliminated through natural selection before they can reach puberty; while in the First World we have laws to protect the heedless. \n\nI am constantly amazed at how many Westerners (yes, Americans), at home and abroad, wonder around oblivious to the proximity of moving bicycles, autos, and other people. They seem to believe that it was God who passed all those laws to protect them. Regardless of my theories, you can greatly reduce your chances of mishap by training yourself to be aware of everything around you, so that you can anticipate approac

the thing you have to take in consideration before jumping on a plane to NY is that you are from the south which is known for manners and southern hospitality. NY is fast paced and people there are waay different. Rude if you ask me. i dont mean to offend anybody but when i was in Jersey i was really intimidated by how upfront they were . If you have a strong backbone, go for it. but for me i know i could never make it in a place like that.

It is not New York, it is MEN. You are an attractive female and MEN like what they see. There is nothing wrong with that, and you would get the same response in any city. \nBy the way, New York City was named The MOST POLITE CITY IN THE WORLD this morning. It was announced on the Today Show.\nGood luck in the polite Big Apple !

Well living in NJ I get NY news so I hear everything that happens there. I think in a whole the NYPD are good people doing a difficult job but like in life there are a few bad apples. Now talking about what happened to the 23 year old who just got killed I think 50 shots is ridiculous. I can't say it was a racial thing and it could have been a white guy who had gotten killed just the same BUT (and I don't know all the facts) it sounded like the guys were trying to get away from the cops. I think the Cops (who were undercover) may have just looked like a bunch of guys with guns pointing at then so they wanted to get away. They were in their car ramming other cars and almost hitting a cop but maybe they didn't know he was a cop just a wacko with a gun pointed at them and if it was you wouldn't you run someone over or hit some cars to get away? Now they are saying that one of them was over heard saying he was going to get his gun before this all happened and that is why the cops followed them but none was found and no shots other then the cops were fired so I am thinking it isn't looking good for the cops right now and I am sorry for the family of the man who died! It stinks!!!
