Finding America: The Fresh Prince of Anacostia
Kymone Freeman, co-owner and programming director of We Act Radio in Anacostia, works to stop displacement as gentrification closes in on his Washington, D.C. neighborhood.
Kymone is a producer for Anacostia Unmapped, which seeks to make radio in Washington D.C. sound more like the people who live there. He was featured in the web series for Finding America, a public media storytelling initiative of AIR Media, sharing untold stories from 15 communities across the US, including Anacostia.
Julian Price
Using his family wealth, tenacity, witty, and incorrigable charm, Julian Price inspires policymakers and entrepreneurs to do the impossible — transform a vacant, deserted downtown into a livable, vibrant center of commerce and culture.
Driven by the beauty of its landscape and the potential in its vacant Art Deco architecture, Price searches Asheville for the brave, hardworking dreamers, and provides them with a miracle — capital for expansion in exchange for improving downtown with their presence.
This film was paired with a compilation album between bands spanning all genres and the Asheville Symphony Orchestra. Bands include Steep Canyon Rangers, LIzz Wright, Rising Appalachia, Lovett, Doc Aquatic, and Matt Tonwsend. Grammy winning composers arranged the music to pair beautifully with Julian's story of collaboration and intention.
Nomadic Community Gardens
Nomadic Community Gardens transform disused spaces into urban gardens where people can grow their own produce, create art, share skills, and discover what it means to build their own community from the bottom up. "We breath life into disused parts of the city that become places where nature and community thrive. We transform these spaces into urban oasis' that produce food and where people can learn and grow."
High Frequency: Why Houston is Back on the Bus
Back in 2012, a small group of motivated citizens asked their local transit agency, elected leaders and advocates about how they could improve Houston's bus network. Ridership was down. Buses did not run as frequently as people liked. The routes didn't go where the populace needed them as the system did not change with the city since the 1970s.
The solution was an extremely ambitious, complete examination of every single bus route in the city, wiping the slate clean and starting from scratch. Through community meetings and years of tough decisions – a new METRO bus network emerged. One that has faster service, more efficient, better routes and one that is already boasting big gains in weekend service. And the changes have been essentially revenue neutral, meaning that all the Houston bus system is running at about the same budget it did prior. Every city should do a "system reimagining" of their bus network like Houston METRO did.

One man's trash is another man's treasure – a junk man's take on cleaning up our act.
Caroline Woolard Flips the Real Estate Script
How can New Yorkers hope to stay put in a city where rents make living all but impossible? Impelled by her own personal experiences, artist and organizer Caroline Woolard advocates for permanently affordable space in New York City, banding together with artists and non-artists alike to build a real estate investment cooperative. According to the New York City Comptroller's Office, from the years 2000 to 2012, median apartment rents in the city rose by 75% (compared to 44% in the rest of the United States) while real incomes of New Yorkers declined. Artists face a unique challenge with rising rent costs, typically having to rent both living and working spaces. Upon graduating from art school in 2006—in the middle of the New York City rent explosion—Woolard and a group of friends went all in on a large Brooklyn workspace, building out over 40 individual studios from scratch and fostering a tight-knit community in the process. Over the course of seven years, Woolard realized that she and her studiomates would have paid close to a million dollars in rent for a space that "we know we'll be priced out of when our lease is up and our landlord charges as much as he can." It was a crucial moment for Woolard, forcing her to recognize that solutions to her own and the city's affordability crisis lie in finding common cause with more than just art school graduates. After a period of intensive self-education in past and present alternative real estate models, Woolard, lawyer and organizer Paula Segal, and others founded the ambitious New York City Real Estate Investment Cooperative. The organization's goal is to use individual member investments to inject capital into projects that turn vacant municipal properties into sustainable community resources and work with private owners to stabilize existing businesses and community spaces. As Woolard declares at the cooperative's first meeting at the Middle Collegiate Church in the East Village, "We believe that small businesses and community based organizations with permanently affordable space, can transform our streetscapes from empty retail corridors and abandoned warehouses, to vibrant streets filled with local culture and dignified workers."
Velo Visionaries – Morgan Fitzgibbons
Traveling by bicycle provides a unique perspective on your surroundings, often inspiring moments of insight and creating a profound connection to your community.
Velo Visionaries presents a series of interviews with great thinkers of today's global bicycle culture from the point of view of the person behind the handlebars.
In Episode 2 of Velo Visionaries, we talk/ride with Morgan Fitzgibbons, the co-founder the Wigg Party, [freespace], the Urban Eating League and the NOW! Festival. He is also an adjunct professor of Environmental Studies at the University of San Francisco and he holds a Masters degree in Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness from the California Institute of Integral Studies.
This series was created by filmmaker and bike blogger Kristin Tieche. Most scenes were filmed by bicycle.
The Urban Cloth Project
Environmental Artist Sharon Kallis leads a year-long project to grow and produce cloth in downtown Vancouver. We all need food, shelter and clothing, yet few of us are aware of the process of cloth production, and the negative impact it has on our environment. The wasteful attitudes promoted by the fashion industry and consumer culture, further separate us from the natural cycles and traditions of cloth-making that were once part of our everyday lives. This project fosters a relearning of local knowledge, of planting, foraging, harvesting, and processing fibre, and with that, the joy of community and the need to care for the land around us.

Mayor D. Michael Collins took a long look at the credit card purchases made by his predecessor and two other top Toledo officials the past two years, and he came to a swift decision.
"No more credit cards," the mayor said, explaining why neither he nor any top Toledo officials would be allowed to have a city credit card under his administration.
"It was like plastic on steroids," Mayor Collins said about numerous purchases made by former Mayor Mike Bell and former Deputy Mayors Steve Herwat and Tom Crothers.
The Blade made repeated efforts to reach Mr. Bell last week and once again on Saturday. The former mayor did not return several messages left by phone, email, and via Twitter. Mr. Crothers could not be reached for comment, and Mr. Herwat declined to comment when reached last week by The Blade.
A Blade review of credit card statements and receipts for the three men showed thousands of taxpayer dollars spent on food, drinks, gasoline, and flowers. Most monthly statements for the Fifth Third MasterCards show $39 late fees and interest charges that could have been avoided.
Mayor Bell's administration also was filled with travel — including multiple trips to China, one to Japan, and a visit to Germany last year. The former mayor traveled so much it was difficult for the current mayor to know which charges related to which trips. Each trip to China was preceded by gift purchases they handed over to potential investors or Chinese officials — including glass sculptures from the Toledo Museum of Art.
In March, 2012, Mayor Bell led a delegation of businessmen and city officials to Fort Worth to explore a giant commercial transportation hub in north Texas and to speak with developers and local officials there. Charges for $1,571 on Mayor Bell's credit card to pay airfare of the former mayor, Mr. Crothers, and then-city spokesman Jen Sorgenfrei — plus $1,320 for hotel rooms and $267 for a rental car — drew the immediate attention of Mayor Collins. He later acknowledged that was a documented business trip.
The picture of overall credit-card spending was initially incomplete because the Collins administration was missing several 2013 monthly statements for both Mr. Bell and Mr. Herwat. But late Friday, the city produced more records after requesting copies from the bank.
"Is $1,000 on food and restaurants in one month reasonable?" Mr. Collins asked. "This is the same period of time that the city of Toledo claimed such austerity that they were demanding in 2012, in collective bargaining, that concessions were needed."
The review uncovered charges from 2011 listed on Mr. Crothers' credit card statement that raised an immediate red flag for Mayor Collins.
On Sept. 30, 2011, Oct. 11, 2011, and Dec. 20, 2011, there were charges for identical amounts — $229.07 to "Northcoast Financial Services" totaling $687.21.
City Finance Director George Sarantou said the mystery charges were eventually identified as personal car payments made by Felicia "Lesa" James, assistant to the mayor under Mr. Bell.
Ms. James could not be reached for comment.
An official who worked with Mr. Bell said Ms. James accidentally used the city credit card to make a payment on her personal vehicle. When asked how that happened on three consecutive credit card statements, the former city worker said Ms. James had unknowingly set up automatic billing.
Mr. Sarantou said Ms. James eventually reimbursed the city, but the reimbursements puzzled Mayor Collins. The records left behind by Mayor Bell's team included copies of two March 15, 2012, cashier checks for $500 each — more than she owed the city. "From Lesa James" was hand-written on the same page of a copy of the two checks.
"My understanding is that the city was reimbursed for that," Mr. Sarantou said. "What I was told is that she had her credit cards on her desk as well as the city credit card and she put in the wrong credit card number."
Ms. James was not disciplined for the charges, but she did receive a suspension during the Bell administration for improperly using city letterhead for personal reasons.
Mayor Collins said he wants to avoid any such mistakes, rein in spending, and force employees to be more judicious in spending the taxpayers' money.
Clamping down
"Based on the experiences and what I am looking at, I don't feel comfortable at this point with the credit cards," he said. "Since I took office on Jan. 2, I have not asked for any gasoline when using my own personal car for city business; I have not asked for any meals."
The previous administration had regular charges for food. Sometimes there were accompanying receipts that listed attendees or a purpose for the meal. But many food and restaurant charges did not have a specific purpose attached.
On Dec. 6, Mayor Bell spent $59.33 at Target. No reason was listed and there was no receipt with the city records. In the month of October, 2013, Mr. Herwat spent $314 on flowers from Bartz Viviano.
Missing receipts held up timely payment of the credit card bills, Mr. Sarantou said.
Mayor Bell's final credit card statement for 2013 had a previous balance of $1,441.55, of which the city paid only $306.47, leaving a balance of $1,135.08. There were new charges of $245.59 — all for gasoline — and $36.32 in finance charges that would have been avoided if his administration had paid the bill off in its entirety the previous month. The charges included $37.16 for fuel on Dec. 31, 2013.
Mayor Collins said he wondered why the outgoing mayor was buying so much gasoline on his way out the door.
The final 2013 statement for Mr. Hewat could not be located by the Collins team. His November statement had a carryover balance from the previous month of $5,236.77 — of which $2,756.05 was paid off. There were new purchases totaling $3,328.46, and $153.53 in finance charges taxpayers had to cover.
Mr. Herwat's credit card was used Aug. 16, 2013, to buy a $199 camera and other photography equipment at Best Buy. The card also was used on May 21, 2012, to buy a $499 camera at Best Buy in West Toledo.
"We have the box, but we have no camera," Mayor Collins said. "They spent $449.85 in June, 2012, for flash drives at OfficeMax. We have the invoice but no flash drives. Not one of them is around here, I can tell you that."
The $499 camera was located, but the other is missing.
Charges questioned
The mayor said office supplies should have been purchased through the city's finance system.
Mayor Collins initially identified several charges as questionable but later accepted them as reasonable. Among those were $2,545 for four separate airline charges on Nov. 11, 2013 — after Mayor Bell had already lost his re-election bid. One of the charges was for $1,116.80 for a ticket on WestJet from Calgary, Alberta.
"Why was anyone flying to Canada after the election?" Mayor Collins asked.
The tickets were investigated and deemed proper, Mr. Sarantou said.
"The airline tickets from Canada — that really bothered me," he said. "In December, there was a meeting for the new fire station in East Toledo and they brought in these auditors to sign off on the accreditation and one was from Canada, so that is legitimate."
Other purchases included:
■ On March 12, 2012, Mr. Crothers' credit card was used to pay PayPal $40. There was no accompanying documentation to justify the charge. That same month, Mr. Crothers paid $673 for a banquet at the Toledo Club for a number of investors, including Jimmy Wu of Dashing Pacific Group.
■ One Sept. 28, 2011, Mr. Crothers' credit card was used to order $1,078 in office furniture from a Web site rather than a Toledo business.
■ In September, 2013, Mr. Herwat's card was used to pay for $682.49 for Forbes Magazine at the direction of Mayor Bell; $80 for an overnight stay at Kalahari Resort in Sandusky for a TEDX Toledo conference, and $1,000 for 10 tickets to the Imagination Station annual fund-raiser. He had $76 in finance charges that same month.
Paying his own way
City spokesman Lisa Ward said Mayor Collins has been judicious with taxpayer money and pushed all city employees to do the same.
"When he sends flowers, he pays himself," Ms. Ward said. "He sent some to the funeral when [Councilman] Theresa Gabriel's mother died."
Council President Paula Hicks-Hudson, a Democrat, said the city should "always be more frugal."
She supported Mayor Collins' policy to prohibit credit cards.
"It will have people spending more judiciously because they will have to wait for reimbursement," Ms. Hicks-Hudson said. "I have been proposing that prior to expenditures, there's a review to see if it is a want or a need."
Councilman Tom Waniewski, a Republican, said he supports the mayor's decision.
"When you're dealing with public dollars, you have to keep a tight fist on those," Mr. Waniewski said. "I heard Mike Collins got rid of those cards, and I was happy to hear that."

The Sawmill Branch Trail
The Sawmill Branch Trail in Summerville, South Carolina, is a bike and walking trail that follows along side the old Sawmill Branch Canal.
The final section is now finished and runs from East Richardson Avenue in the North, close to the center of Downtown Summerville.
From that point there is now close to 7 miles of smooth paved bike path, about 12 or 15 feet wide that will take you to the South End of Old Trolley Road, near Dorchester Road.
Out and back on this trail will give you 14 miles of motor traffic free riding. Where the path crosses the busy Gahagan Rd, Old Trolley Rd, and Bacon's Bridge Rd, in each case the path goes under a bridge, so there is no stopping or slowing.
The photo above shows the approach towards the North End of Old Trolley Road.
Here you have the option of going right under the busy four lane Old Trolley and on towards Richardson Ave. Or you can go straight and turn right on Old Trolley; there is a busy intersection at Bacon's Bridge Rd., but there is a traffic light at this point.
Once past Bacon's Bridge, Old Trolley Rd., has a bike lane its entire length. You can ride to the South End and turn right on Cross Creek Drive, and join up with the bike trail again. This makes about an 8 or 9 mile loop. (See map below.)
There are 4 different parking areas. My favorite is Luden Street, a quiet residential neighborhood. The trail switches from one side of the canal to the other at this point; don't go straight across from the car park as the paved trail on that side runs out in about 200 yards.
The trail switches sides at another point just after you go under Old Trolley Road; again this is on a quiet street with little traffic.
A word of warning as you go under the bridges; earlier this summer, some vandals piled large rocks from the canal bank, across the path, under the Old Trolley Rd. Bridge. When you come out of the bright sunlight it is quite dark and hard to see.
An older man, a regular user of the path, hit these rocks, fell heavily, and was hospitalized as a result of his injuries. There was just this one incident and I have since seen the police patrolling the path from time to time.
Unfortunately, the local kids also love to break glass bottles on the path too, usually thrown from the bridges above.
Apart from these unfortunate but somewhat isolated incidents, I can highly recommend this trail.
Much of the trail is shaded by trees, which is great on a hot day. You will see Blue Herons and Egrets in the water.
There are warning signs saying "Alligators may live here." But I haven't seen any yet.
Here are some more photos.
(Above.) Egrets; one of the more common birds you will see on the trail

Surely the people are grass.

SOMARTA S/S 2013「BLOOM -百花譜-」showcases a floral art nouveau aesthetic with intricately detailed botanical and floral prints for spring. The sheer fabric adds a sense of fragility and femininity to the look. It make it seem ephemeral and an almost surreal image. Well, art nouveau does give off that impression in my opinion. I am in love with the deep blue palette. It looks stunning with the spring pastel colors in the collection.

Chemical Weapons Convention
Chemical Weapons Convention. It is four years since the Chemical Weapons Convention came into force. This report examines the strengths and weaknesses of the current chemical disarmament regime. Severe weaknesses in that regime are undermining efforts to identify and destroy stockpiles of chemical weapons. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (the treaty enforcing body) faces a large budgetary shortfall, several states such as Israel and North Korea have refused to sign the treaty, and signatories have sometimes failed to comply with the CWC.

Horse betting odds can be quite confusing to the novice bettor. With the proliferation of online horse racing sites, it is easier than ever for new players to join in the fun of betting on the horses. However, in order to make money on your wagers, you need to know the odds and how they can affect your potential payout. Along with the odds themselves, you must also consider the chances your horse has of actually placing in this particular race. By combining these two factors, you can analyze whether your bet will be profitable and, if so, how much money should wagered on the horse. This article will give you a basic guide to understanding horse betting odds.
The horse betting odds for any one race are influenced by the amount of money wagered on each horse, so they are constantly in flux as bets are being placed. The opening odds are issued at the start of the betting period, with the odds shifting until wagering is cut off at the end of the period. It is easy to pick a winner from the odds-on favorites, since most of them are listed at 3:1 odds. This means that the horse is expected to win about 33% of the time. Unfortunately, the payout for wagering on the favorites is too low to make a decent profit this way. The key is to find horse betting odds that are being overlooked by the majority of gamblers.
There are three stages in setting the horse betting odds for a certain race. The morning line makers generally work for newspaper handicappers, racing offices, or horse betting public relations. Their job is to try to predict how much will be bet on each horse in the 48 hours prior to each race. The morning line will not include any late changes, workouts, or late scratches that may happen at the track in those last 48 hours. These changes will affect the horse betting odds for that race and may turn an unprofitable wager into a profitable one or vice versa.
The morning line can sometimes influence the public handicappers' lines that appear in newspapers and horse racing magazines. This can cause a problem with compounding the changes in the odds because the public handicappers will rely on the knowledge of the morning line makers, when the morning line is intended only to be a rough estimate of betting activity. Some public handicappers also include inside information or personal favorites in their horse betting odds predictions, which further biases them and makes their picks inaccurate.
The public may look at the horse betting odds posted by the morning line makers, read the public handicappers articles, and decide that a certain horse looks like a favorable proposition. Unfortunately, if those two are already wrong about the odds, the wagers being placed on that horse further skew the odds in the wrong direction. This can lead to a compounding effect where the horse betting odds are affected in far greater ways than would be expected just by the betting amounts along.
The Internet has brought many opportunities to those looking forward to betting on sporting events, such as the World Cup. If you like to follow the World Cup events and you would like to give online sports betting a try, there are a lot of fantastic options available to you. Some of the online sports betting sites cater strictly to sports bettors, while others cater to sports bettors and other types of gamblers, such as those who want to play casino games, lottery games, bingo games, poker games, and more. This means, when you are looking for the right sportsbook to go to for the USA to win odds, you want to consider all the other possibilities you may have available as well.
When you make the choice to go online and bet on sports, make sure you are prepared to follow a strong money management plan. Your money management plan should be well thought out and one you can and will stick to, no matter what. You will find that betting with discipline will protect you from possibly making a decision that may lead you into financial trouble. Discipline will be the key to you becoming a successful online sports bettor. Finding the right place to follow the world cup odds is a great start, but you still need to follow through with smart choices and clear thinking.
There is a way you can add more into your available online sports betting bankroll without dipping into money you shouldn't. You can do this by becoming good at taking advantage of bonuses, promotions, and world cup free bet offers. Great news for you is most sports betting sites in the industry do have these types of offers available. Some examples of these rewards and offers include welcome bonuses, free bet offers, reload bonuses, and referral bonuses. You need to be sure you read all the information the sportsbook provides you with regarding any offer you choose to take advantage of. Most of the offers you will see will need to have certain requirements met and this is referred to as "clearing the bonus".
An online sportsbook you choose to count on for your USA to win odds will give you the opportunity to conveniently log in and bet when you want. However, if you are a person with a very hectic and busy lifestyle, there may be a lot of times when you are away from your computer. During these moments, you may still want to bet. This is why it might be in your best interest to specifically look for an online sports betting site that also has a mobile version. When you have access to a sports betting site from your mobile device you will be able to follow the odds, place your bets, and take care of your other sports betting needs while you are away from your computer. The freedom the mobile versions offer you is something you will quickly learn to appreciate.
FIFA 2014is not only making football fans go crazy, but also World Cup Bookmakers; it is driving web and online gambling booming like never before. Though betting isn't a new thing, still many people aren't aware of some basic concepts. People commit mistakesbecause they fail to understand the basics. Here is a guide that explains a few golden rules, which are supposed to be kept in mind while betting to get enough profit immediately.
Value is perhaps the least understood concept of football world cup betting; in fact, many pros find it very difficult to digest or face trouble with the concept. When it comes to stock market, the value can be easily estimated. The price to earnings (P/E) ratio determines the fair value of the stock price. If the ratio is low, then it means that more value is on the way. However, sports' betting has got nothing to do with P/E ratio. Good value doesn't mean that you place a bet on team that you assume to win, but in reality you bet on an underdog!
Finding a value on spreads is not so cut and dry, because each party has fifty-fifty chance of winning the game. When bets happen against the point spreads, there is a chance that bettor is gambling a line, which could be several points low or too high.
If Team A has 5 points and bettor predicts line should have 9 points, there is value in betting the first line. If the case is reversed, then you should bet on the other player. Finding betting value works in the same way as determining value with spreads, except you are betting a line, which is either too low or too high. If your judgmental power is strong, this good value can fetch you long term success.
You can find many online 2014 football world cup bookmakers, offering deals and promotional stuffs, claiming to be positive and profitable. But sometimes, even pros fail to understand how this value checking works. Football is driving the online gambling boom, but people commit mistake when placing a bet, failing to understand how the system works. That's why bookies are still leading, but little bit of research can help you to beat them as well. You just have to place smart bets to beat bookies, despite being getting odds stacked against you.
Don't listen to what they say at the first place; ignore their nasty tactics. You can consult a local bookie, who suggests you to bid on some games, but always beware that there is a possibility of you getting poor value bet from them.
Look for Asian handicaps to increase and get to successful summit; the best way to increase the value is to bet on the player's goal min on spreads. Don't get distracted by betting on multiple events; if your main intention is to increase the value, then avoid placing multiple bets. Dedicate time and money on a single bet and concentrate on each player and make sure that this FIFA betting works in your favor.
The 'under' is a bet on the total of a game. To bet 'under' on a game means to bet that the total amount of points in a game will go below the posted total. For example, if the total posted on a football game is 38 points, a combination of anything adding up to under 38 points is a winner. It does not matter how the points are scored, merely the total amount of points scored.
The 'under' bet is inherently a good bet. Since most people like to cheer for points, especially games on national television, the total on most games are usually overcompensated for the over—hence giving value to the under. Other situations where the under is favorable include playoff games, division rivalry games, and games played in extremely horrible weather (such as heavy winds in outdoor football games). In playoff games, matchups tend to go under the posted total. Defenses rule in playoff games, hence betting under in playoff games are usually good bets. Division rivalry games are also good situations to bet the under. In these matchups, the coaches and players know their opposition so well that scoring is usually at a premium. Extreme weather conditions also favor the under. Situations such as heavy winds, rain, or snow in outdoor games are ideal factors for betting the under in these games.
Games that feature teams with very stout defenses also have very low totals. As such, the astute gambler will realize such situations and bet the over. Oddsmakers realize that most people will want to bet the under on these types of games, and since casinos and sportsbooks are not in the business of losing money, oddsmakers will set a line that will be too low for the under—hence, the winning bet will be the over. Defensive games that are on national television are the best places to bet the over. One great example is the world cup 2014 betting, which pitted the San Antonio Spurs against the Detroit Pistons. This championship series boasted the NBA's stingiest defense that year (San Antonio allowed 88.4 ppg during the regular season, while Detroit allowed 89.5 ppg). During the 7-game series totals were set at 170.5 to 176, a total that would normally be in tune with how each team scored. The national public, ESPN, and other sports sources reported and projected that this NBA finals would be one of the lowest scoring series in history; in fact, promoters were afraid that not enough people would be drawn in to even watch the championships. These two teams had very good defenses and mediocre offenses. In betting terms, people were licking their chops to bet the under; sportsbooks, thus, had to adjust. In the end, the over hit 5 times, while the under hit 2 times. This goes to show that what may seem like such an easy bet is as such—too easy of a bet to win.
In closing, betting under in a sporting event is generally a good idea. Betting the under means to bet that the total amount of points scored will go under the posted total.
Betting on horses on a racetrack is a form of wager. Each wager depends on the amount of the odds against the horses and also the horse racing results to determine the prize money. In most horse racing events, the odds are displayed on a large board which is also known as a tote board.
Generally, the odds displayed on the tote board are in the form of a ratio which many people might find difficult to understand. Basically, if a horse is given the odds of 5:1, it means that for every one dollar you wagered on it, you'll get five in return. Most race tracks require a minimum bet of two dollars.
Now, some of you might wonder how these odds are compiled and why some horses have higher odds than the others. These odd are calculated by odd makers who follow a certain principle. First, they calculate the amount of money bet on a given horse and grand total of all the horses combined together. Then, they have to deduct a portion of the track's take which is used to pay the state, local taxes, the horsemen, and so on. When they've figured out the cost, they deduct it together with the total bet money from the grand total. The final figure is then divided by the bet money to obtain the ratio.

Last night, I was able to get my hands on the newest palette from Too Faced. Celebrating 15 years together, the Too Faced Loves Sephora palette is, well, lovely!
Created by Sephora PRO artists and Too Faced, this palette gives you ten shadows (some of which are so pigmented you swear you won't need a primer) two different bronzers, a blush, a Shadow Insurance mini primer and a mini blush brush.
I love almost everything Too Faced does. This palette gives you larger shadows than your usual Too Faced Palette and retails for $52. This should hit shelves any second. I would presume it's limited edition and is obviously a Sephora exclusive. Will you pick it up or pass?

It's December already? Wow, it seems like just yesterday you were nursing sunburn in August. Well, I can't make a glazed ham for the holidays for you, but I can give you a gift that will make you money and won't widen your waistline: ignition troubleshooting tips. Just forgive me if I can't tie a fancy bow on them for you.
Back in June, I devoted a column to the advantages of scoping primary ignition current. I emphasized that the technique has been enormously helpful to me when diagnosing weird, no-code symptoms on Honda, Nissan and Toyota vehicles. I must have piqued some interest because a variety of technicians I've met around the country have asked for more details of this approach. This month, I'll cite several prime examples of the Honda ignition module (igniter) failures that I've diagnosed with this fast, simple technique.
To me, the Hondas are useful case studies because they're high-volume vehicles and they're equipped with OBD II. Many techs believe OBD II will do all the troubleshooting and thinking for them. However, these Hondas have taught me that things aren't always what they appear to be under the hood. Plus, you shouldn't expect an ECM to do all the thinking. Furthermore, experience takes you only so far and then it's time to test; experience and suspicions shouldn't override test results.
The examples I cite this month are conditions we have encountered repeatedly. In each instance, the car's ECM didn't store any DTCs whatsoever. To make matters even more interesting, some of these cars already had been to other shops. The customer was fearful because he or she had heard some bizarre estimates of what it might cost to cure the symptoms.
Stalls When Hot, No Codes
The first example is a Honda that runs fine for some period of time, perhaps for 30 to 60 minutes, then the engine stalls. It may restart right away or the driver may have to wait a while for the engine to cool off first. Worse yet, the driver may report that this stalling occurs randomly and unpredictably. The vehicle is a distributor-equipped Honda. (Remember that Honda's highest-volume car, the 4-cylinder Accord, used a distributor well into the early 2000s.) Usually, visual inspection reveals that the engine is equipped with an OEM Honda igniter. Sometimes the igniter is an unknown replacement part; it has no logo or recognizable emblem on it.
Over the years, I've watched service managers and technicians mull over these symptoms. Then, rather than quote the car owner the cost of testing some fundamentals, they tell the motorist they won't touch the car unless it's misbehaving. Unless and until the car acts up again, they just aren't interested in it, period.
On the one hand, I can appreciate this response. On the other hand, years of primary ignition testing have convinced me that this may be a very shortsighted reaction. For example, performing a fast, easy primary ignition test may reveal a glaring problem on an engine that's running smoothly at the moment. With that in mind, let's look closer.
Back in my June column, I recommended that you begin your primary ignition testing at hot idle. Usually, a time setting of 1 to 2 milliseconds (mS) per division gives you a nice picture of either the ECM or ignition module switching a coil on and off; this on-off activity is the basic ignition "event." Usually, a vertical scale of 10.00 to 15.00A is adequate here.
With those recommendations in mind, look at screen capture 1 on page 12. The time setting is 2mS per division; the vertical scale is 10.00A. Practicing on oodles of known-good Hondas taught me that primary current peaks at 6.00 to 8.00A—usually closer to 7.00A. Basically, this screen capture resembles the bottom part of a healthy pattern. The initial slope of the pattern (left side of the image) looks perfectly normal. The right side, which shows the coil shutting off, looks fine, too. But the primary amps reach only about 3.00A or so—certainly far below the normal range for a healthy Honda igniter. All the primary ignition connections are good.
Yes, readers, you're seeing this clearly: That goofy igniter is clipping off primary ignition current way lower than normal—but the engine is idling smoothly in spite of it. I've seen this many times. Simply replacing the igniter solves the problem for good.
Now, suppose I take the igniter responsible for screen capture 1 and install it in a known-good Honda (which I've done many times). Every time I've performed this experiment, the abnormal scope pattern and the stalling symptoms follow the igniter to the known-good car. Go figure!
Hard Starting in Cold,Wet Weather
Let's move on to screen capture 2. This is another example of a failing Honda igniter, but again, things aren't always what they seem to be, or what experienced techs assume they should be. The primary ignition pattern in this screen capture is a minor variation of the one we just discussed. It was captured at hot idle and the scope scales are the same as those used for screen capture 1. The coil on time is longer than that in the previous example; the peak current is lower—just a shade more than 2.50A. At this moment, the engine is running smoothly even though the primary current is far below normal.
Interestingly enough, screen capture 2 comes from an Accord with an intermittent hard-starting symptom. But the owner insisted that the hard starting occurred only in cold, wet weather. (By the way, it was early December when the lady brought this car in.) She said she had been paying close attention to when the symptom occurred; a co-worker referred her to my buddy's shop.
According to many Honda specialists, failing igniters always quit in hot weather. However, my buddies and I have nailed several of them that failed only in cold weather, and primary ignition scope tests confirmed this. In this instance, my buddy and I decided to experiment again. We installed a spare, known-good igniter, scoped the primary ignition again and touched nothing else on the lady's Accord. She drove that car the entire winter, checking in with my buddy periodically. Replacing the igniter alone cured the intermittent hard start in cold, wet weather. For your information, we never touched the original distributor cap, rotor and plug wires.
My pal installed a new igniter the following spring and earned himself a loyal customer who provided lots of referral business. We later learned that among other shops, a car dealer had quoted her some big-buck repairs. Naturally, I have no idea if these shops would have scoped primary ignition current.
These scope tests have continually reminded me that I'm not really sure what I'm fighting until I test the beast. The practice, discipline and comfort level with primary ignition testing has been a solid prerequisite for checking coil-on-plug ignition.
Meanwhile, another pal with a successful shop outside Buffalo, NY, constantly applies the scope tests I've taught him to all vehicles, especially older ones. This includes a bunch of older Accords that cost-conscious customers keep driving and driving. (He often sends me "homework" parts—Accord igniters, coils and distributor assemblies that he's replaced.) He diagnoses and fixes what's wrong and guarantees only what he touched. Customers respect that approach.
The other lesson of this month's column is that you cannot undervalue helping customers prolong the service life of older vehicles when money is tight. Long-term, the good people will remember you for it when they finally upgrade to newer vehicles.
It's time to sign off now. Everyone take care and don't put too much liquor in that eggnog.

Obama Adviser Discusses Using Military on Terrorists• NY Times
3 Comments in Response to Obama Adviser Discusses Using Military on Terrorists
About government lies, move over Bakadude, I'm joining you. Those whose delusion that what are happening or what had happened like 911 and the killing of Osama bin Laden "are all government lies" are far too short by more than a mile from accomplishing this attempt to distort reality. I like your philosophical thinking: "Does the truth always end where those lies begin?" If the Government did some lying, so did the "truthers". By making their "theory" the "truth", is a despicable lie – really requires no brain to see how this emotional manipulation works.
And to think that the "truthers" can force their "truth" on us or in the mind of the American public that thinks otherwise is a wistful thinking.
Okay, Islamic terrorists didn't do 911 ... Osama bin Laden wasn't killed ... no dead body was dumped in the ocean, because to you and your likes these are all government lies. What then is the "truth"? Only that which you think it is? C'mon …
Other people do not think the way you do. What if other people think that the "truth" that you believe it is, is a lie? Must the truth always end where those lies begin?
I read the full story from the N.Y. Times and of course they did not leave room for discussion afterwards. Cowards. Brennan speaks with a forked tongue.
"That does not mean we can use military force whenever we want, wherever we want. International legal principles, including respect for a state's sovereignty and the laws of war, impose important constraints on our ability to act unilaterally — and on the way in which we can use force — in foreign territories.""He also said it had never been the case that the legal interpretation that "came out of that lawyer group prevented us from doing what we wanted to do." > Then why make that first statement if those in government are going to do what they want to do even against the rules of law? "Mr. Brennan also rejected as "absurd" accusations by some critics that the Obama administration might be deliberately killing terrorism suspects instead of capturing them, sacrificing the ability to interrogate them in order to avoid the legal complications of detaining them. "I want to be very clear: whenever it is possible to capture a suspected terrorist, it is the unqualified preference of the administration to take custody of that individual so we can obtain information that is vital to the safety and security of the American people," he said."

You definitely don't want to help your competitors which is why I suggested keeping it on your own site..haha If you were to host the widget on your site you wouldnt be dishing out any links, you'd likely be getting links in if it was something that people needed.Originally Posted by BigT
I like your thinking about the what ifs and moving forward. It's not a bad thing to think about certain situations but it is very easy to get hung up on those things.

Yeah it's Saturday! GOOD NEWS - I don't have any grandchildren visiting today so I can create ALL day and night!!
Besides that, it's #ShowOffSaturday over at one of my favorite Facebook groups, The Artist Entrepreneur hosted by the lovely Catherine Orer, Coach Extraordinaire.
Here's the artwork I am sharing today. It's part of a series I am working on for the month of October. I am celebrating autumn with abstracts - this is abstract 10.1 (real creative name, huh?!)
(Selected as Artist of the Month by the Rome Arts Association, it will be on display at the Rome-Jervis Library during the month of January 2017).
It's a mixed media on paper measuring 11x14 framed. It will be listed in my Etsy store soon (so much on my plate right now, but I HAVE to get to that! Next week I am training an new assistant, hoping that goes well and he will pick up the slack around here!---- any who....)
Here's the painting and also a few photos in a slideshow as well.
The slideshow begins with a page from a magazine which inspired my color choices. You see the beginning of the painting as well as some up close shots.
Hope you enjoyed the glimpse of my work...see you next #SHOWOFFSATURDAY!

WV Legislative Update
I hope we've turned the corner on the weather and can settle into some traditional, crisp, low-humidity October weather. It's difficult to think of trout fishing with high water or hunting with temperatures near 90 degrees, but the grandkids are getting excited about the prospects of both.
With the heavy pipeline and highway construction underway across West Virginia, one indirect benefit is the positive bump in the state tax revenue collections. The monthly collections numbers for September were released last week from the State Tax Department.
As of September, general revenue collections are running $119.8 million ahead of estimates. The breakdown for the first three months of Fiscal Year 2019:
July $32.3 million
August $33.4 million
September $54 million
The tax collections were led by three major sources: personal income tax (PIT); consumer sales tax (CST); and severance tax. By the end of September, the first three months in these categories:
PIT exceeded estimates by $43.8 million
CST exceeded estimates by $21.2 million
Severance exceeded estimates by $34.9 million
Make no mistake; these are strong numbers after the last few years of poor revenue. However, it is almost entirely a result of the economic activity associated with construction and the good wages that accompany construction activity; a slight rebound in coal severance; and gas severance gaining strength and beginning to increase.
After these figures were released last week, Governor Justice held a press conference where he stated he was going to allocate $150 million to various areas. This announcement coming less than a month before the election leaves me somewhat skeptical. First, it is a requirement that one-half of a surplus must be deposited in the Rainy Day Fund. Also, we have nine more months to go before we know what level of surplus we may have. Finally, the Governor can propose a budget, but the Legislature is the branch of government that actually appropriates the funds, based on revenue estimates. In short, it's a little too early to start counting our chickens before they hatch.
As pipelines are completed, more gas will move, further increasing the severance income. However, with pipeline completion, a major contributor to consumer sales tax and personal income tax will substantially decrease.
Meanwhile, the PEIA taskforce appointed by the Governor has not met since August. In speaking with some of the task force members, apparently no meetings have been scheduled for the coming weeks. Since the need for a permanent solution to the PEIA funding dilemma was one of the chief concerns that united teachers, school service personnel and state employees last session, further delays are not helpful going forward.
Another gubernatorial committee – the Blue Ribbon Commission on Higher Education – met at Bridgeport last week. As previously announced, the committee rolled out a plan that I take great exception to as being totally unfair to Glenville State College. While I expressed my displeasure and reasoned opposition to the plan by Marshall President Gilbert during the meeting, it remains a work in progress, with the Legislature having the final say during budget negotiations next session. I'll certainly keep you abreast of the developments on this committee. A strong and vibrant GSC is absolutely necessary for central West Virginia to remain strong and a key building block for our future economic health.
Finally, here is a follow-up note on my previous reminder about employment opportunities with the upcoming decennial census of the United States in 2020. As the census is a major national undertaking, the U.S. Census Bureau is gearing up and hiring is underway. Recruiting Assistants are being solicited in every county in West Virginia and the United States. People hired for these positions will work from their homes and be reimbursed for mileage when they travel for their work. All should apply online at https://2020census.gov/jobs
No one knows an area better than local residents and the accurate count of our citizens is of major importance and impacts every community, county and state. Since we are in a state with a shrinking population, it is more important than ever to obtain accurate information.
Please send your inquiries to my home office: 151 Park Street, Gassaway, WV 26624. My home number is 304.364.8411; the Capitol office number is 304.340.3142. If you have an interest in any particular bill or issue, please let me know. For those with Internet access, my legislative e-mail address is:
You may also obtain additional legislative information, including the copies of bills, conference reports, daily summaries, interim highlights, and leave me a message on the Legislature's web site at www.legis.state.wv.us/. When leaving a message, please remember to include your phone number with your inquiry and any details you can provide. Additional information, including agency links and the state government phone directory, may be found at www.wv.gov. Also, you may follow me on Facebook at "Brent Boggs", Twitter at "@DelBrentBoggs" , as well as the WV Legislature's Facebook page at "West Virginia Legislature" or on Twitter at twitter.com/wvlegislature.
Continue to remember our troops - at home and abroad - and keep them and their families in your thoughts and prayers. Until next week – take care.

I can't quite believe Christmas has already been and gone, it goes by so fast! I can't get my head around the fact that in a few days time we'll be in 2015, and eighteen days after I'll finally be 18!? It just seems insane! I hope you all had a magical Christmas, surrounded by your friends and family, and if you have a different religion or just don't celebrate Christmas, I still hope you had a wonderful day!
I have been so spoilt this Christmas, but there is just one present in particular I wanted to share with you guys. This year I am so overjoyed to tell you that I got a new camera! It is the Nikon Coolpix L830 in red, and it has a really cool tilt screen feature! Here is a ridiculously horrible picture of me just after I opened it
thank god it's blurry.
I can't tell you how excited I am to use it! Hopefully it'll take much better photos than the one I normally use (which is the one that is being used to take that picture). Don't get me wrong, my little Samsung digital camera has done me proud, and it has taken some surprisingly beautiful pictures, but it hasn't always been the most reliable for quality.
I know that my new camera isn't exactly a DSLR, but it is a bridge. Hopefully someday in the future I'll be able to afford a swanky DSLR, but for now I'm extremely grateful for this new camera, and I think it's enough for me!
Like I said before, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, let me know what presents you got and how you enjoyed your day.

Crowds thronged Kalyan Jewellers' much-anticipated launch of 7 showrooms in Qatar at Al Khor, Abu Hamour, Barwa Village, Garafa, Al Rayyan, Asian Town and HBK Signal. Popular film stars and Kalyan Jewellers Brand Ambassadors Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, Prabhu Ganesan and Manju Warrier regaled the huge crowds at the showrooms, marking a historic launch of Kalyan Jewellers in Qatar.
The stars were overjoyed with the massive turnout of over 50,000 fans and a bit overwhelmed with the sheer magnitude. The audience was completely star-struck with the popular movie stars. Remarkably, the appearance of Indian cinema's biggest icon Amitabh Bachchan, who has a huge fan following in Qatar, created frenzy, with crowds jostling to get a glimpse the Indian film icon.
Amitabh Bachchan made a short visit to Qatar for a little over six hours but his short visit will be remembered for a long time. He landed in Qatar at 11am on Kalyan Jewellers' private jet – the Embraer Legacy 650. Amidst tight security he proceeded to inaugurate the showrooms at Garafa, Al Rayyan, Asian Town and HBK Signal along with the other ambassadors. Earlier, the showrooms at Al Khor, Abu Hamour and Barwa Village were inaugurated by Nagarjuna, Prabhu and Manju Warrier.
Addressing the crowd in his deep baritone voice, Mr. Bachchan said, "This is my first trip to Qatar and I am overwhelmed by the affection showered by the people of Qatar. I promise this is not the last trip and I am going to come again. We have all come here for the opening of Kalyan Jewellers' showrooms. My relationship with Kalyan Jewellers goes a long way. I believe that you will love them and support them the way you have been supporting me over the years. Aakhir vishwas hi sab kuch hai! (sic). I hope I get to see you again." This was received with loud cheers and a thunderous applause. The stars greeted the crowd and thanked them for the support. After a brief appearance, the stars were taken inside the showrooms for a special preview of Kalyan Jewellers' exquisite jewellery collection.
Mr. T.S. Kalyanaraman, Chairman and Managing Director, Kalyan Jewellers said, "It was wonderful to see huge crowds at our showrooms and vindicates Kalyan's popularity as a preferred jewellery brand in the GCC. Customers can look forward to having a great shopping experience with our compelling range of gold and diamond jewellery, and studded jewellery."
''Our brand ambassadors are hugely popular and exemplify Kalyan's core values of Trust and Timeless elegance. They have played an integral role in the growth of brand Kalyan and their presence in Qatar to open the 7 showrooms couldn't be more auspicious. We are happy to have played a role in bringing Mr. Bachchan and the rest of our brand ambassadors closer to their fans in the city." added Mr. Kalyanaraman.
"The launch of seven Kalyan Jewellers showroom on a single day is a reiteration of our commitment to provide the best jewellery buying experience in Qatar and ensure that we can reach out to more customers through. Our stores will offer an exquisite collection of contemporary and traditional designs that will fulfill distinct needs of the evolved Qatari consumer," concluded Mr. Kalyanaraman.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

Section 11 Self-Evaluation 2018
Improving the way key people and bodies safeguard and promote the welfare of children is crucial to improving outcomes for children and young people. Section 11 (s11) of the Children Act 2004 places a statutory duty on key organisations to make arrangements to ensure that in discharging their functions they have regard to the need to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.
The Local Safeguarding Children Boards Regulations 2006 require LSCBs to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of what is done to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and advising organisations on ways to improve. All organisations will therefore be asked to complete a self assessment and provide evidence of how they comply with s11 when carrying out their day-to-day business. This audit will give an indication of how well organisations are working to keep children safe. The audits will be repeated biennially, and agencies will be asked to develop action plans to address any weaknesses identified.
It is important to remember that s11 does not give agencies any new functions, nor does it override their existing functions. Instead, it requires organisations to carry out their existing functions in a way that takes into account the need to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.The audit is an opportunity for each agency to demonstrate compliance with statutory guidance.
Below are two documents that agencies will need to complete their audit:
SECTION 11 Self-Evaluation Toolkit – Audit Tool and Action Plan
SECTION 11 Self-Evaluation Toolkit – Guidance
The deadline for agencies to submit their completed audit tool and action plan to email@example.com is Friday 18 May 2018
Changes to the 2018 Version
The 2018 self-assessment tool is now in Excel format to make it more user friendly and accessible. The new Excel format should also allow agencies to better track what standards have been completed and will automatically transfer identified improvements in to a separate action plan. You might also find it helpful to use this Word Document of the Section 11 2018 Standards.
Very limited changes have been made to standards 1-8 of the audit tool. The final section – STANDARD 9: Recognition and Response to Risk – has been updated to reflect changes to local and national safeguarding issues, such as safeguarding children who do not attend school; working with 'hard to engage' families; neglect; and online safety. All changes between the 2016 and 2018 versions can be found in the '2018 changes' worksheet of the audit tool.

Sometimes it seems as though there are two kinds of people in the world today: feminists and pro-lifers. The feminists want women to not be oppressed, and the pro-lifers want to stop abortion. Feminists think pro-lifers hate women; pro-lifers think feminists hate babies and/or men.
Now, before I started calling myself a feminist, I knew that not all feminists were anti-man and/or -motherhood. But I still thought most of them were—or, rather, that if I called myself a feminist, people would think I was all that plus pro-choice. Being pro-choice is, in many people's minds—in the minds, I think, of the general population—the sine qua none of feminism. I didn't want to associate myself with that.
I grew up steeped in the pro-life message. I used to beg my mother to take me to the March for Life. We prayed for an end to abortion a lot. The phrase "pro-choice" had hugely negative connotations. When my mother was pregnant, she would get out A Child Is Born and show us photos of what the baby looked like. (I still remember when my brother looked like a blue monkey.) It was only natural that I should choose to be pro-life.
That the choice between being feminist and being pro-life is even seen to exist shows how much feminism has been corrupted. Enter New Wave Feminists, taking back feminism. But a good question to ask is, why bother? Why bother calling yourself a feminist? If the important thing is to save babies; if pro-lifers know that birth is empowering and abortion is oppressive; if they can tell women this while they help them save their babies--then why bother talking about feminism?
There are actually a lot of answers to this question. The main one is that pro-choice feminism doesn't make any sense. If you really sit down and think about what it means to believe in equal rights, what it means to believe that might does not make right—then you will be unable, not just to be pro-choice, but also to make pro-choice-ness part of feminism.
I would actually love to go into more detail about this, and maybe someday I will write such an essay. But right here I'm going to talk about the practicality of pro-life feminism. To put it simply: it'll work.
To put it less simply:
Being anti-feminist is, in a lot of people's minds, like being racist: wrong, unenlightened, simply not done anymore. If people see something as being contrary to feminism—even if they themselves do not specifically identify as feminists—they will assume it is bad. That's how institutionalized feminism has become in this country.
Which means, of course, that when people are faced (or rather, when they think they are faced) with the choice between being pro-life and being feminist, most of them will choose to be feminist.
When people realize that pro-lifers are in truth not fighting against the feminists, but for the feminists; when they realize that the pro-lifers are the feminists, then we will have made one more step towards eradicating both abortion and misogyny.

Can and Superman
2 hours ago
A random collection of material from comic artist Kevin Nowlan. Started with the best of intentions, but like most other efforts, doomed to perish from neglect as soon as the novelty wears off.
Kevin, it was a real thrill & pleasure to meet you & your wife over the weekend in Baltimore. Very nice to actually talk with you in person finally after admiring your artwork for well over 20 years. I'll send you pictures of the sketches you did for me at the show, including the Frankenstein's Monster where you *finally* got the eyes right! Thanks for doing those, signing my books, and enduring my questions. Hope all goes well!ReplyDelete
Sigh...I wish you could get the rights to Jack B. Quick back or able to do more.
So miss those stories.

Would you believe this is the first layout I have created in tree weeks! Hubby and I went on a much needed vacation to Hawaii. You are going to be seeing lots of vacation layouts here shortly! Being a working girl, taking a vacation means putting in long days before and after the vacation just trying to keep up. My free time has also been spent visiting a dear friend dying of brain cancer. She in now in hospice care. I pray she does not suffer too greatly now. I am just so grateful that I had a few months to spend with her after she was diagnosed.
But you are here to see my layout ... today I am sharing another boy layout created with the brand new collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studios "Totally Rad". This awesome collection is just what you need to scrap those photos of your favorite guys. I thought the bold patterns and bright colors would be perfect for scrapping my nephew with a favorite dinosaur toy he received for his 2nd birthday.
Totally Rad still has all those awesome embellishments you love, like the die cut ephemera, flair buttons, woodies, wood veneers, and enamel shapes.
I used the sticker Alphas to create my title, layered on top of one of the journal cards.
Keep a lookout for this collection coming soon to your favorite scrapbook store. I know you will love it as much as I do.
Have a great week!

The 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics is a largely anticipated event that will take place in a couple more years. In preparation for this grand event that will be watched worldwide, it had been announced on the 8th of June, 2016, that the JR Harajuku Station will be undergoing renovation.
The JR Harajuku Station is a popular station due to its proximity to the well-known fashion district wherein people dress up however they fancy. The sight is definitely something to behold as the folks at Harajuku district are so open-minded in the way they dress, even if it is a style that would be considered bizarre in other countries.
While it had been announced that the JR Harajuku Station will be revamped, according to JR East, they are still unsure of what to do with it, so it is uncertain whether the station would be demolished or new designs would be added to it. A decision will be made after the gathering of the opinions of local residents and of the Shibuya Ward Office.
The JR Harajuku Station is close to being 100 years old as it was built in 1924. It is also said that the station is Tokyo's oldest wooden station so it kind of holds some sentimental value. However, the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics will take place at the Yoyogi National Stadium, and the JR Harajuku Station is one of the nearest stations to the venue. Therefore, it is feared that the current state of the station would not be able to accommodate the huge crowd during the Olympics period. Thus, changes have to be made to the station.
Whenever there are events nearby, such as concerts, the station would be so congested as there would be a lot of people who will want to board a train after the events end. This is made worse by the narrow walkway. Even during the weekends and public holidays, the station is frequently crowded. People may feel sad if the station has to be demolished, but sometimes, changes are necessary and good!

How to Become a Police Officer in Utah
Utah is known for many things, including The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its beautiful and rugged natural scenery. What is less known about Utah is that the state has a strong job market with the third lowest unemployment rate in the country at just 3.4%.1 Anyone hoping to join a law enforcement agency in Utah needs to meet the requirements set by the state's Peace Officer Standards and Training Council (POST). New recruits must also complete the basic police academy program, run by the Utah POST.
Utah Police Officer Requirements
The Utah POST sets the basic minimum requirements for any officer of the law in the state. Local cops, state police, and sheriff's deputies must all meet these requirements before being certified as a law enforcement agent. They include having:
- A minimum age of 21
- US citizenship
- A high school diploma or GED
- Good moral character as determined by a thorough background check
- No felony convictions
- No dishonorable discharge from the military
- Passed the POST Academy entrance exam
With minimum requirements met, new recruits must either be hired by a sheriff's office or police department before attending the main POST Academy. POST also runs satellite academies throughout the state. Anyone not hired by a law enforcement agency, but who meets the requirements and is willing to pay tuition, may attend one of the satellite programs. These programs include the same curriculum as the POST Academy.
Utah Trooper or Highway Patrol Requirements
The Utah Highway Patrol (UHP) hires troopers to protect travelers and Utah residents by keeping drunk drivers off the roads, seizing drugs, monitoring the safety of commercial vehicles, and educating young people about road and driving safety. New recruits have the chance to work toward specialty trooper units including the K-9 unit, executive protection, the SWAT team, and the helicopter division. In addition to the POST minimum requirements, hopeful new troopers must have:
- A clean driving record
- No visible tattoos in uniform
- No illegal drug use within the last five years
- No misdemeanor or domestic violence charges
- No crimes of dishonesty within the last four years
Utah Sheriff Deputy Requirements
All counties in Utah have a sheriff's office or department and each has its own process and standards for hiring deputies. Those hired must meet the POST minimum requirements and complete training and certification through the POST Academy or one of its satellite campuses.
Salt Lake County
With its county seat in the largest city in the state, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County has a sizable sheriff's office. It is responsible for two corrections facilities, crime prevention in the county, search and rescue, and has a mounted posse division. The sheriff's office hires deputies for both corrections and patrol and protection duties and follows the requirements set by POST. Salt Lake County runs its own satellite of the POST Academy, which new recruits attend for 12 weeks to become certified.
Davis County
Davis County has its county seat in the city of Farmington and is home to the Davis County Sheriff's Office and a staff of dedicated deputies. To be considered for a position as a deputy here, new recruits have to meet the POST standards and also must:
- Have a valid Utah driver's license
- Have proof of current auto insurance
- Be willing to work weekends, holidays, and rotating shifts
- Score at least 70 percent on the POST entrance exam
- Pass a drug screening
Police Departments in Utah
From Salt Lake City to the smaller towns in rural Utah the state is home to many local police departments and hopeful new cops have plenty of opportunities for employment. New recruits can be hired by a police department and sponsored by that department to attend the POST Academy. Alternatively, those hoping to be hired in the future can pay tuition to attend a POST Academy satellite campus in order to become certified for law enforcement work in the state.
Salt Lake City
With a population of 191,180, Salt Lake City is Utah's largest city, but it is small compared to many big cities around the country.2 The Salt Lake City Police Department recruits dedicated people wanting to make a difference and to help residents. They offer competitive pay and benefits including longevity pay and accumulated personal leave time. To be considered for a position as an officer, new recruits must meet the POST requirements and:
- Pass a physical agility test
- Pass an interview
- Have good communication skills
- Pass a psychological examination
- Pass a medical examination and a drug screening
- Have a valid Utah driver's license within 30 days of being hired
West Valley City
West Valley City is a suburb of Salt Lake City and the state's second largest city. The West Valley City Police Department is always looking for qualified and devoted new police officers to join the force. Hopeful recruits must meet the POST requirements, complete an application and written examination, successfully finish a physical fitness test and undergo a background investigation, a psychological and medical examination, and an interview. Preference is given to candidates with:
- Military experience
- Any level of college degree, including an associate's degree
- Proficiency in a foreign language
- Residency in West Valley City
Police Training Academies in Utah
The main police training academy in the state is the POST Academy in Sandy, Utah. POST sets the standards for the curriculum and certification for instructors. The POST council also certifies several satellite academies at college campuses throughout the state:
- Bridgerland Applied Technology College – Logan, UT
- Dixie State University – St. George, UT
- Salt Lake Community College – Salt Lake City, UT
- Utah State University Eastern – Price, UT
- Utah Valley University – Orem, UT
- Weber State University – Ogden, UT
Utah Police Jobs Outlook
The outlook for deputy and cop jobs in the state of Utah is promising. Between now and 2022 the projection is for 19.4% growth in law enforcement jobs, which is equivalent to 270 new positions per year on average, and far higher than the national average of around 5%.3 For those hopeful new recruits, the average salary for patrol officers and deputies in Utah would be around $46,500 (average for 2014), although actual salaries vary by department and experience.4

|However if a snack-adium is present then yes, I would love to come to your party. (source)
The article covers some very important tips and tactics, such as...
3. Occasionally make noise: Just like reading in the middle of a forest known for higher-than-average Grizzly activity, sharp listening is the key to survival here. Keep your ears pricked for changes in ambient noise, and vocalize accordingly: groan, sigh, cheer, or laugh (commercials only). If your pages are particularly noisy, try to turn them at clinch moments.
If you're not a big reader (*cry*), the guide also still works if you want to, say...play Pokemon on your DS. Or whatever other non-football related things you're into. Just don't sit on the couch texting other people the whole time, cuz that shit's rude.
As for what I'll be doing tomorrow? I'll start the day at work, and head over to my families house after. Andrew and my brothers aren't huge on football either, so we'll probably just chill and maybe play a couple tabletop games. Luckily my family aren't huge super bowl party people. Watching it is a big deal for my dad, but he always likes to watch it in the comfort of his own home. They still require awesome snacks though! I've been to we're so excited this is a huge deal super bowl parties before, and they're just not my thing...which is why I found the article funny, awesome, and super useful!
Now go forth, and pray you're not asked to stop at Wal-Mart for extra tortilla chips on the way over.
