!!Please note, these pages are quite old. I will be uploading my new ones as soon as I get them done. Improvement wooooo.
Alright so this is a short three page comic I did for my coloring class a while ago. Recently my external hard drive has decided to misplace itself so I was upset that these files had gotten lost. Unfortunately I only have the PDF version of this comic because the colored files separately got lost (is on that hard drive I think). Of course I have the originals, but just uncolored. So! I had to screen shot each page from the PDF since I'm unsure how to take the files off the PDF if that's possible. Sorry if this makes it hard to read D:
Read the top two first then the bottom one!

text: The wonderful thing about Spa Tanning Tablets is the fact that they are not only safe and effective, but they are all natural organic and FDA approved. With so many tanning options on the market today, the studies and statistics have revealed that tanning tablets are by far the safest means of tanning available today. Tanning tablets simply work right alongside your own body composition to produce and increase Melanin that is accountable for pigmentation in the body. Disciplining yourself to take a tanning tablet a day is not only a simple task to accomplish, but indeed far more practical that over exposing your body to harmful UV rays that are both dangerous and even deadly.

Oregon State University: A Legacy of Transformation
February 10 – September 9, 2018
Oregon Historical Society
1200 SW Park Ave
Portland, Oregon 97205
Get Directions
For 150 years, Oregon State University has provided access to a high-quality college education for all Oregonians, solving tough challenges through groundbreaking research, serving community needs, and propelling the state and global economy. Following the Morrill Act of 1862, the Oregon Legislative Assembly designated Corvallis College as the state's land grant college on October 27, 1868. Today, Oregon State serves more than 31,800 students and continues its land grant mission to reach communities across the state through OSU Extension Service operations in all 36 counties.
This exhibit shares — through 150 stories — how Oregon State University has transformed the community, the state, the nation, and the world in surprising ways. A new blue pigment discovered by OSU chemist Mas Subramanian — the first in more than 200 years — will first appear as a Crayola crayon in late 2017. The vivid color, which does not fade, reflects heat, and absorbs ultraviolet light, may next be used in roof coatings to help keep buildings cooler and reduce energy use. And, there is a good chance that the nearest TV or smartphone flat screen uses a high-performance transparent transistor that was invented at Oregon State.
Talented graduates are Oregon State's greatest contribution to the world. Some are more well-known like Dick Fosbury ('72), whose back-first high jump technique — the Fosbury Flop — revolutionized the sport and won him a gold medal at the 1968 Olympics. Others may not be recognized by name, but their innovations have revolutionized the world: Douglas Engelbart ('48); invented the computer mouse; award-winning animator Harley Jessup ('76) brought characters to life in Monsters Inc., Ratatouille, and other movies; and Bernie Newcomb ('65) cofounded E*Trade, one of the first internet stock-trading companies.
The Juntos program gives high school students the support they need to excel, and guides them toward a college degree.
When Eastern filbert blight threatened the livelihood of hazelnut trees, Ron Cameron created the Gasaway, stopping the disease in its tracks.
After mixing different chemicals in their lab, OSU research Mas Subramanian and his team discovered a hue no one else had.
Fosbury Flops to Glory and changes the art of high jumping forever.
Dick Fosbury's ('72) technique not only helped future athletes – it earned him an Olympic gold medal, too.
A tiny invention revolutionizes the way we use computers.
Thanks to Douglas Engelbart ('48) and Bill English – who developed the first mouse – we can navigate with ease.
A life-changing breakthrough, discovering an ALS treatment that halts progression.
OSU researcher Joe Beckman has successfully stopped the progression of ALS for two years in mice. His treatment opens up a promising future for humans.

The business and legal sides of a construction project are much like the physical construction itself, with several phases of planning, negotiation, resource accumulation and execution. At GBS, we represent owners, developers and contractors in all aspects of the construction process, beginning with land acquisition and contract formation to eventual lease and sale of the completed project to new tenants and owners.
In the close-knit world of building and construction, we understand that an excellent reputation is often our clients' best asset. When disputes arise, we work with our clients and parties on the opposite side of the table to reach favorable resolutions that preserve key relationships while minimizing negative publicity. We regularly represent clients in arbitration, mediation and other alternative dispute resolution proceedings. A number of our construction attorneys are trained mediators, enabling us to pursue alternative dispute resolution methods that can minimize expenses and keep projects running more smoothly.
In the event that an arrangement fails or a problem arises, we are able to easily and quickly shift roles from a business focus to a litigation-ready approach. In such cases, we apply all of our trial knowledge and courtroom experience on behalf of our clients' interests.
Our attorneys are seasoned litigators and stand ready to use all of the tools at their disposal to develop and present an effective case.

The word "Krewe" is used to describe any carnival organization or club. It was originally coined in 1857 by New Orleans' the Mystic Krewe of Comus. They wanted to give their club's name an "olde-English" flavor. In present-day St. Louis, the Bud Light Grand Parade is made up of many, many Krewes, with each one represented by a marching group or float
Grab your friends and family and let's do this! With some effort and creativity, you and your friends can take center stage amongst the thousands of screaming fans, just begging for beads. What a rush!
If your Krewe is going to enter a float, then you will need to secure your hardware, including a trailer for your float and a tow vehicle. Otherwise, we have plenty of room in the parade for walking/marching Krewes. Once you figure out how you would like to participate and how many of you to register, you'll be ready for the parade!
For those who show the most creativity and really get the crowd going, we will be awarding prizes to the very best Krewes. Don't just come along for the ride, be the Krewe that brings down the house.
And, most importantly, don't forget to follow the guidelines for safety and reliability compliance. Oh, and stock up on the beads!

CEDAR RAPIDS — A Cedar Rapids man is accused of causing a crash and then assaulting the other driver's father.
Cedar Rapids public safety spokesman Greg Buelow said that around 5:44 p.m. Monday a woman was driving southbound on Edgewood Road when she was hit from behind by 26-year-old Deshawn L. Edwards when they approached the red light at First Avenue. Buelow said the woman's father arrived on the scene of the crash.
Police said after the father arrived, Edwards punched the 48-year-old man. Edwards fled the scene, but was later captured by officers. He now faces charges of assault causing bodily injury, failure to maintain control, no driver's license and no insurance.

These days the work of a photographer can be so much more than just photography.
When I want to deliver more than just the still images for the client...
Little example from last nights Korisliiga game in Finland.
Gear :
Canon 1DX mkII + 70-200mm (still images)
Canon 1DX - 17-40mm (still images - behind backboard)
Canon 1DX - 200mm (still images - over the basket)
Canon XF300 camcorder
GoPro 6
Pocketwizard Plus III triggers
With all five cameras - capturing the same action - to provide more content.
Sometimes you need to live up to the #DoMore
Below you will see the five different views that I captured of Vilpas Vikings player John Jordan floating to the hoop. Naturally the three still cameras all have a sequence of about 12 images of the play, the ones on show are just to give the viewpoints of the different cameras.
Image 1 - taken with 70-200mm from the baseline:
Image 2 - taken with 17-40mm from behind the backboard - remote trigger :
Image 3 - taken with 200mm from above the basket - remote trigger
Video 1 and 2 - Canon XF300 on the baseline and GoPro6 under the basket.
Driving to Switzerland for BeachEuro2016
Sometimes you get the request (this time I was late to get on the ball) for a job on a short notice, so with flight prices through the roof, and weeks car parking at the airport going well into three figures. Some photographers would give up as there would be no profit, others would ask the client for four times as much as their normal rate - and some, just find the economical way to make a profit and keep prices normal for clients.
This is what happened to me, as I noticed less than two weeks before a tournament - that it was happening (yes, my fault and I should be better!). Few quick enquiries and clients were happy that someone was offering them images ... and so it was planning time.
Quick search came out with flights/car parking/rental car/hotel/etc - came up to close to £1500. But hey! the tournament is only in Switzerland, and I live in the UK - so what about driving?? I've driven further away for jobs....
So, Petrol/Road Tolls/EuroTunnel/Hotel ... and all of a sudden I was looking at the costs being near £550. This was much easier expense to cover with the payments from my clients - and I still would end up making a decent profit from the job. Although eating out in Switzerland isn't the cheapest for a week!
Departure from home, HR8 postcode, afternoon on Sunday - non-stop driving to Folkestone EuroTunnel .. quick bite of Moroccan Meatballs and into the train (delayed by an hour). Out of the train around midnight in Calais - non-stop for about 500km, with fresh air breaks as I had to jump out of the car to pay for the road tolls. Luckily this was night time and roads were empty... I do LOVE driving on the French roads, driving is so much quieter than the British rumbling roads.
Around 4.20am stopping at a service station (no two hour limits for parking here!) - plenty of other travellers taking a nap in their cars. So pull on the duvet and two hours of sleep. Good as new ... drive through some small French villages to the Swiss boarder. Boarder guards looking at me funnily with my bike packed into the car and explaining that I am off to Biel for Beach Volleyball. But in the end this stretched to a ten minute chat ... very quiet crossing this one, so I was the only one there.
Off the motorway in Switzerland and through some mountain roads... LOVELY SCENERY!!... and down to Biel. Two hours before check-in time to the Hotel. So taking advantage of this one and go for a little cycling around the lake. What a way to end the journey/start the day.
Is driving 700 miles a great way to go to every job?? Probably not, but for me - it beats the stress and hassle of flying. No worrying about the weight limits, connecting flights, what kind of rental car I get... Maybe I should move somewhere in southern Germany... would be pretty easy driving to most countries in Europe :-)
I do understand that as photographers we probably should always pass our expenses (whatever they may be) to our clients - but with the ever tightening budgets everywhere. I do not mind looking for ways to keep my clients happy.. and keep making a profit myself.
Now - looking forward to GREAT five days of covering BeachEuro2016 (European Championships in Beach Volleyball) here in Biel - and after today's first photo-session in the training... it's all looking good at the moment!!
Let the games begin!!
p.s Car is now parked at the garage of the hotel, while in Biel - I will move with the bicycle. Great way for an unfit photographer to try to keep himself in some sort of shape.
Erik Murphy is someone whom I've followed for the past years - and was lucky enough to catch-up with him in Istanbul after a EuroCup game.
It was couple of years ago when I first heard the surname Murphy, in association with Finnish basketball. While covering the FIBA EuroBasket U20's B-division in Sofia, Bulgaria.. Alex Murphy was taking his first steps with the Finnish 'Susijengi'. It was after this that I looked up more about the Murphy's and noticed his older brother Erik .. playing for Florida Gators at the time.
I must admit that I am not a great follower or even fan of NCAA or NBA basketball - so do forgive me my ignorance on this subject. But when Erik came to play with the Susijengi in 2014 - even if he probably wasn't quite suited for European style of game to start with, I definitely liked what I saw through the viewfinder (as a photographer, that's how I see my games). As the summer went on, and Finland enjoyed their first outing in World Cup.. and after many chats with Erik over the summer. I was just hoping for him to sign for an European team for the domestic season - so there would be a chance to see him play. (flights across the pond aren't cheap - so unfortunately his D-league season passed me by).
Summer 2015 once again saw Erik play with the 'Wolves' - always ready to have a work and wearing his blue 'Gators' baseball cap.. this summer Erik was leaner and fitter than in 2014 and it showed in the way he contributed to the team on the court.
So when he signed for Besiktas in Istanbul during the summer (coached at the time by Finnish National team Head Coach Henrik Dettmann) - I knew I had to get to visit him in Istanbul. Early November saw my visit to Istanbul - for a EuroCup game vs Szolnok. After the practise on day 1 of my visit, you guessed it - Erik walked out of the training with his Gators cap on. Quick exchange of hellos, before Erik jumped into his car and 'confidently' drove into the rush-hour traffic in Istanbul.
Following day was the game day, Erik played the first 14 minutes of the game (no-sub) - gave me a nice dunk to capture.. and in the end was second top scorer for his team. After the game - caught up with him, to talk about playing abroad for the first year, what he thinks of Istanbul/Turkey.. as well as Finland's chances of hosting a group at the EuroBasket2017.
Finnish basketball will enjoy Erik's game for many years to come - and don't be surprised if one year you'll see Finland's starting five being read out and you see three Murphy's on the score sheet!
Next time Erik - it'll be Maksalaatikkoa and Lättyjä for dinner :-)
When all else fails, follow the locals!
Another long work day abroad, just to get your mind at ease that I am not sitting by the pool and enjoying a Turkish holiday ;-)
Up early in the morning, catching up on invoicing and other correspondence - then cross Istanbul in the Metro (two lines) to catch-up with Finnish Men's National team Head Coach Henrik Dettmann, first meeting with Turkish security then at the gate of the apartment complex. After four phone calls, I was taken on a golf buggy down through the garage and up on the lift.... they do make things complicated sometimes.
Quick interview and photo-session with the coach, as well as catching-up on stuff... even when this is mostly work, it is always nice to have a more relaxed chat with people on the road.
Then back across town on the Metro (just missed rush-hour!) - lunch.. shower and off to the Sinan Erdem Spor Salonu for the evenings EuroCup game.
Aah, the entry wasn't easy. Instructions were to use a door on the RIGHT hand side of the Arena.. slight language barrier with security .. whom all sent me in different direction. After trying all doors with anyone guarding them, and always been sent to one direction or next.. I did what I should have done to start with. Stand outside the dark doors of Media Entry and wait for local press... they always know who to call and contact. So after five minutes, I was following three journalist and a door was opened to them and I just followed them in SUCCESS!!
Off to the press seats, get wi-fi code, accreditation badge, chat with the locals - high five the players I know.. the usual prep to a game.
Cover the game, concentrate on Murphy - nice dunk inside the first five minutes, I knew that was the picture! Although if Murphy would have made the flying dunk to start 3rd Q with.. that would have been even better. Post game video interviews (one below - two more to follow in the next two days). Great game by Erik - on the court from start and one of the key players for Besiktas tonight.
Arena was a bit like when I visited Sasu Salin in Ljubljana for some EuroCup games - tough to fill a 14000 Arena for a regular season game. But the Besiktas fans we GREAT!! making noise well before tip-off, and when DJ tried to play music.. they whistled so he would turn it down and the fans could keep singing ... some REALLY great fan culture!! Thumbs up from this traveling photographer!
Quick drive to get something to eat with players - off to the hotel, edit material.. and after few hours of sleep - Havalimani Ataturk and flying back to Birmingham.
Return to old haunts in Istanbul!
As a photographer you get used to things not always going smoothly, or as you'd expected them to. So it came as no surprise today that I ended up spending two hours outside the Sinan Erdem Sport Salonu in Istanbul, instead of inside it. But the weather was nice, and there was a little exercise park across the road - so got my own fix of practise done (no hoops though!).
At the end of training, managed to catch up quickly with Erik Murphy and Lassi Tuovi - Murphy headed quickly to the evening traffic in Istanbul - and Tuovi and I went inside the Arena for a quick interview on video.
It was a strange feeling, last time I left this building was after the Final whistle of the FIBA2010 World Championships - after photographing the tournament in Turkey. On this trip I am staying in the same hotel, walking the same route to the venue... it is a trip down the memory lane.
Tomorrow should hopefully be a busier day, with a surprise interview to be done in the morning - and then Besiktas EuroCup basketball in the evening, capturing 'Susi-Erkki' (Erik Murphy) playing for the Turkish team. But - there is still the wait to hear from the Media Person in regards to the accreditation for the evenings game tomorrow.......
For now - interview with Lassi Tuovi to start the Istanbul work part of the trip.

text: Have you ever been "thrown into the deep end" at a new job? It can be intimidating, alienating, and confusing even for people completely suited to their new position. Of course, an employer wants to know that a new hire can hit the ground running on day one. Because of this expectation, not everyone recognizes the benefits of a full new hire training program.

March 28th, 2014
It's been an incredibly busy last few months and time to write has been pretty scarce. I have also been working on some bigger projects that I want to post about but they are no where near fully baked. One thing that has gained a lot of attention has been my move away from OmniFocus.
If you have read this site with any sort of regularity, you'll know how much I base what I do on OmniFocus. It has guided my days, both at home and at work, for years. There are a lot of reasons for my exploration. Some are driven by my disappointment with OmniFocus 2 for iOS, some are driven by the previous Mac beta casting some serious doubts on Omni Group's direction for the product.
As time passed, it became obvious how difficult it is to replace an app like OmniFocus but I'm trying things that suit me very well in some ways but not so much in others. I'm not sure if they'll work out yet and when they do, I will post the process and results of this study here. One thing I can say with certainty – re-evaluating your position on a system that you have used for a long time is an illuminating look into the habits that define you. It is also incredibly disruptive when you're trying to get shit done.
Recently Omni Group released a new Mac beta for OmniFocus. Once it gets more stable, I will return to it full time. For now, it crashes too often for real-world use but I was happy with some of the new direction and features. I was encouraged.
So that all said, there's no OmniFocus on my Home screen for the first time since OmniFocus's release on iOS. Crazy stuff.
Row One
Phone has undergone some significant changes for the better in iOS 7.1. They show up in subtle ways but I think Apple made the app vastly more attractive and useful. It integrates seamlessly with Facetime, it has context-sensitive options popping up that can be reacted to intuitively. It is a vast improvement and one I don't hear a lot about.
Fantastical is how I get meetings into my calendar, whether its on the iPhone or the Mac. The natural language parsing is unmatched and it has been a staple on my phone since its release. On the phone, I use Drafts to send meetings to Fantastical and on the Mac, I use Alfred. Drafts and Alfred are like conduits that I use to shunt information to different programs throughout the day and both give me a single place to do so. Having a focused input area like this reduces friction and saves time.
Mynd was on my Home screen back in August 2013 when it released and didn't quite make it into a permanent rotation but it has improved quite a bit since then. While not perfect, it does a lot of things well and many of its shortcomings are because I refuse to allow it to integrate with LinkedIn and Facebook (since I don't use them). If you're looking for a daily organizer that will coalesce the disparate threads of your day and tie them into one, nicely designed spot, you could do worse than Mynd. Tempo is also quite good if Mynd doesn't work for you.
I also still keep a folder for apps that rotate in and out. Things like the Apple Clock app, Wunderlist, Tempo etc.
Row Two
1Password remains. On a daily basis I hear nightmare stories about data loss, forgotten license keys, emergency bank account access and security breaches requiring mass password changes for websites sharing personal information that could have been alleviated if the persons involved had simply used 1Password. It is one of the most important apps on iOS and once you take the leap to integrate it into your digital life, it is a short leap to use it for everything. It is really a useful app once you start using it to its full potential.
Nebulous Notes is still a default iOS text file editor. Maybe someday there will be an iOS editor that will have all of the features that I need but for now, this one suffices. It has just enough to be useful but not so much that it confuses the tasks I'm trying to accomplish. Generally I need to access a file in Dropbox and look for something or do a quick edit. Nebulous is great for that. Quick notes that will eventually make it into Dropbox often start in Drafts so Nebulous is more of a text file viewer for me but its editing tools are powerful and the search is fantastic.
VSCOcam is the best iOS app for photo-taking and photo-manipulation. It takes amazing photographs and the filters are incredible. I use VSCO on my Mac in Lightroom as well. They seem to be a great company of smart, creative people making useful stuff. Support them.
Downcast is not the prettiest podcast app but it is particularly suited to what I want. I've tried many of the podcast darlings but I always return to Downcast because it is really smart about how it caches and manages podcast files and I can use its comprehensive set of rules to control how much space gets eaten up by the dozens of podcasts I don't have time to listen to.
Row Three
Tweetbot is back, replacing Twitterific once again. These two apps go back and forth for me but they are both really top shelf Twitter clients worth a look.
Contacts is… well yeah. It's not great but I do use it quite often. I'm currently trying out Cobook. I've used it on and off and found it terrible. It does look like it has undergone some major changes so I'm putting it through its paces again.
YNAB(You Need a Budget) is my banking and budgeting app of choice. The iOS app is a conduit to feed my YNAB file on Dropbox so I can keep track of my finances but the entire ecosystem around YNAB is the best out there by far.
Awful is a standard for me, scanning the somethingawful forums for information about knives, Buddhism, games and wrong-headed ideas about True Detective.
Row Four
Riposte is a great ADN client. I love the functionality and the look-and-feel. If you're on ADN, you should be using Riposte.
Slack is an incredible app. I use it daily and for collaboration or just plain communication it does everything right. I can't say enough good things about it but go try it out and you won't be disappointed.
Mail is where I handle all of my work emails. It remains focused for that mainly because it works so well with Exchange and keeping my personal email segregated also keeps me sane.
Dark Sky is on the Home screen because it has the most accurate and clear weather reporting. I check it everyday when I wake up. For more a more in-depth view of the weather and for looking at more long range I switch over to The Weather Underground app which has some great charts and crowd-sourced local weather.
Row Five
Boxer has been my main email client for a few months and I like it a lot. The configurable slide controls allow me to tweak to work with my crazy system of managing my inbox to zero. Sanebox is still working it's magic by keeping less useful mail filed away in places where it makes sense until I have the time to get to it. I have to admit I'm perplexed by Boxer's Sanebox1 "integration". Regardless, it was enough to get me to try Sanebox which saves me hours per week of needless distraction and for that I'm grateful.
Taskpaper is now where OmniFocus used to be. I could write 6000 words on this fact but I'll save it for another day.
Asana is a web-based team collaboration tool for managing projects and tasks. I use it for a specific project and it works pretty well. I think if you "lived" in this app and used it all day/every day it might be pretty great. As it is, it serves as a task manager for a very specific project.
Safari is still on the front page, useful as ever.
The Dock
Trillian still gets some use. Most of my chat has moved to iMessage or Slack but there are still some folks who use PCs at work and want to use Gtalk since typing on their phone is a pain.
Messages is awesome. I know some people have problems with it but I have had very few issues since I reduced the number of ways you can initiate an iMessage chat with me. Combined with Chatology, its a great communcation tool.
Drafts is the Swiss Army knife of text. As I mentioned above, I send text from Drafts to lots of different destinations but it gives me a single place to start. Merlin Mann uses it for the same reason as described in the latest Mac Power Users podcast.
Launch Center Pro is a great app. I still use it for all of my Mac Mini control needs because, in two taps, I can be controlling the mouse or keyboard on the Mac Mini attached to my TV. I'll write up another article about LCP some day but for now you should get the gist of how important this app is to me given its prime slot on the Home screen Dock

Why My Teacher Deserves the Fishman Prize
Do you know a teacher who builds strong relationships with students and pushes them to reach their potential? Nominate them for the Fishman Prize today.
Using Student Voice to Transform the Classroom
2016 Fishman Prize winner Evelyn Rebollar strikes a unique balance of community and rigor in her Bronx classroom, helping students succeed and grow emotionally.

Election Day is almost here and conversations will be taking place in classrooms about how electoral politics work, issues Americans are currently voting on, and more. Here are resources to help teachers make the most out of this teachable moment.
Sustainable Talent Pipelines Are Not Just Timely, They're Critical
In the face of shortages in teaching and leadership positions, districts need pipelines of talent that cater to their hiring strategies and the demands of their school communities.

Brad Pitt's Mom Moved Into House Following Angelina Jolie Split?
Has Brad Pitt's mom really moved into his house to take care of him in the wake of his split from Angelina Jolie? That's the claim being made in one of this week's new tabloids, but Gossip Cop has the exclusive truth about the situation.
The latest issue of the National Enquirer alleges the actor's mother, Jane Pitt, is now living with him because she's worried about his well-being. A supposed "source" tells the outlet she's concerned "he's lost a lot of weight" and "just wants to keep an eye on him." The magazine's questionable insider adds, "Brad doesn't have a lot of friends to begin with, and now that people are taking sides over the divorce, he's more than happy to have her around."
But Gossip Cop looked into the tabloid's story, and a rep for Pitt exclusively assures us the actor's mom hasn't moved in with him. We're told the publication's entire report is simply "false," which isn't shocking, considering the Enquirer has repeatedly published bogus claims about the movie star.
Oddly enough, this isn't even the first time Gossip Cop has called out the magazine for concocting a fake story surrounding the actor's living situation. We recently busted the tabloid for wrongly reporting Pitt moved into a sober house. Gossip Cop also debunked the outlet's tall tale about Pitt being forced into rehab. All of these stories are fake, and the Enquirer clearly needs better sources for the actor.

Foreclosure help coming right to Tacomans' front doors
Homeowners facing foreclosure can find a lot of assistance, but pride and fear can stand in the way of asking for help. State figures show just one homeowner in 10 takes advantage of the myriad programs available.
In Tacoma, help is now coming door to door.
Home Ownership and Mediation, or HOME, began in late November as a partnership between the city of Tacoma and the Seattle University School of Law. It's an $11,200 program funded by grants from the Legal Foundation of Washington, the state Department of Financial Institutions and the Pierce County Foreclosure Prevention Roundtable.
Some 17 people have been hired to canvass neighborhoods across the city where one or more homes is in some stage of foreclosure. For a few hours each day, canvassers knock on doors and deliver information on how homeowners, or someone they know, can get help to prevent foreclosure.
Congress will provide even more money to prevent foreclosure and blight, as ...
Evictions loom as suburbs buy tax-foreclosed homes
Wayne County suburbs increasingly are buying tax-foreclosed homes and selling them to developers who flip them for profits, prompting criticism that city officials are driving residents from their homes.
In Lincoln Park, several former owners still living in their homes are pleading with city officials to stop the developers from evicting them. The city bought 90 tax-foreclosed homes this summer from the county treasurer before they could be sold at an annual auction open to the public.
The city's goal was to stop blight and prevent absentee landlords from purchasing the homes. But former owners including Marvin Barski Jr. said they should have another chance to save their homes. He lost a brick ranch that his family has owned for 60 years because of an unpaid $1,200 bill.
He just recently got an eviction notice from the developer, JSR Funding, based in Warren.
"It has made me so sick," said Barski, 58, an aircraft mechanic. "This house means everything to me. I grew up in this house. ... I don't know where I will go."
Similar stories are echoing throughout the county, as suburbs are taking advantage of a county policy that allows municipalities to buy properties before the online auction. Taylor purchased 106 properties, while Redford Township took 76, Dearborn, 35, and Garden City, 28.
After pleas to the City Council, Dearborn recently resold eight occupied tax-foreclosed homes to former owners with restrictions they maintain them, a city spokeswoman said.
Barski could have avoided foreclosure. By law, homes are foreclosed after taxes go unpaid for three years.
Barski missed several deadlines to make payments on 2012 taxes, but was current on 2013-2015 bills. He said he was confused, had surgery and didn't realize paying the oldest debt would prevent foreclosure.
"I feel dumb, gullible and stupid," said Barski.
Lincoln Park Emergency Manager Brad Coulter said he can't help Barski or other homeowners who haven't paid their tax bills because the city can't go back on the contract with the developer, which was competitively bid.
"If they had gone through the tax auction, they'd be going through the same system," Coulter said of the former homeowners. "We are in this tough spot of 'Where have you been for the last six months?'"
"We could have helped point you toward assistance."The city sold the 90 homes to JSR for the $836,000 in back taxes owed. That's the amount Lincoln Park paid the county for the homes.
JSR paid the current summer taxes and water bills and will invest at least $15,000 per house rehabbing them. The company keeps any profit from the sale.
"The city's housing stock is significantly improved and taxable values are increased," Jim Budziak of JSR wrote in an email to The News. "Had the city not exercised its right of first refusal, the properties would have been sold at the Wayne County auction and the city would be subject to the whims of individual/investor auction purchasers."
Garden City has a similar deal with JSR to rehab 17 homes. Mayor Randy Walker said he feels sympathy for homeowners but the program will help bring new residents in.
"We have to bring property values back up," Walker said. "I don't buy into these people saying they had no idea (about the foreclosure). ... There is a consequence for everything."
Barski's attorney Tarek Baydoun argues the developer's contract should be voided because it doesn't meet the law's requirement that there be a "public purpose" when the city buys an owner-occupied tax foreclosure.
"That's not good for the city to take houses from people who have equity in their houses," said Baydoun, who also has clients in Garden City.
In Redford Township, Michael Dennis, the director of the community development department, said developers have helped displaced homeowners find new homes.
Brandy Gutierrez is waiting to see if JSR follows through evicting her from her Lincoln Park home. She said her estranged husband never told her he wasn't paying the taxes until the unpaid bill accumulated to nearly $12,000. She was able to borrow enough to pay about $8,000 in December and got on a payment plan.
County officials say she didn't make those payments and Lincoln Park bought the home in July. Gutierrez said county staffers told her she had until October to pay and went to the city that month with a $4,000 cashier's check hoping to save it.
She hasn't told her two kids, 10 and 12, that they might soon lose the home.
"I am afraid tomorrow they could throw me out," Gutierrez said. "I can't sleep. I can't eat."
On the House: Mortgages are the top consumer finance complaint
The complaint report to which Cordray refers is published monthly by the bureau and has been since 2011, when, if memory serves, the agency really got up and running.
Since then, it has received more mortgage-related complaints than complaints related to any other type of financial product.
As of Sept. 1, the bureau had handled 192,500 mortgage-related complaints. A familiar one regards continued problems experienced by homeowners trying to prevent foreclosure.
More than 50 percent of mortgage complaints have to do with the problems that consumers face when they are unable to make their payments.
Consumers complain of delays and a lack of information when applying for loan modifications.
In addition, consumers complain that servicers often move forward with foreclosure proceedings while the consumers modification application is still under review.
Heres a complaint I must get once a week: lack of information when loans are transferred.
Consumers report experiencing confusion and frustration about where to make their payments when their loans are transferred. And when the loan transfers occur, consumers complain that their payments often increase unexpectedly.
They also say that they do not feel properly informed about their loans being transferred.
Having trouble making payments is another biggie.
Nearly one-third of mortgage complaints came from consumers saying that they have trouble making the proper payments on their loans.
They describe mortgage companies not accepting payments of anything less than the full balance owed, or finding that their payments were not properly applied despite their instructions.
In August, the most complained about financial product or service was debt collection, representing about 29 percent of complaints submitted.
Of the 25,732 complaints handled in August, 7,582 were on debt collection.
The second most complained about consumer product was credit reporting, accounting for 5,733 complaints.
In a year-to-year comparison, consumer-loan complaints, including pawn loans, title loans, and installment loans, showed the greatest percentage increase: 47 percent, nearly doubling from last year.
Payday-loan complaints showed the greatest percentage decrease - 12 percent - over the same three-month (June-August) period in 2014 and 2015. They decreased from 526 complaints in 2014 to 463 in 2015.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau expects companies to respond to complaints, and to describe the steps they have taken or plan to take to resolve the complaint within 15 days of receipt.
The bureau expects companies to close all but the most complicated complaints within 60 days.
To register your grievances, go to www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint or call the toll-free number at 1-855-411-2372.

Age Tweens and Up. Children under the age of 4 are not permitted in the theatre.
Our Review With the image of Audrey Hepburn firmly ingrained in most people's minds from the famous film version, it is hard to imagine anyone else as Holly Golightly. But this new stage version adapted by playwright Richard Greenberg invites us to look at Truman Capote's tale anew, and Emilia Clarke just may be the actress to make the character her own.

Things I Learned in 2016
What a year it's been. I'm sat here about to have an early night, next to a flickering candle, reading and reflecting on my year. This is what a blog is for! Here's a few thoughts (nothing too thought-out) about my 2016 and some things I feel I've learned:
– If you find yourself in a YouTube hole most nights Googling entrepreunial pep-talks, you know you need to work for yourself.
– Don't take advice from people. Even if they turn out to be right, do it on your own terms.
– Don't give so much advice. Most of time people don't need to hear it, they just want you to listen.
– If a friend is struggling don't try and offer immediate solutions. If you're a "fixer" like me, you might. But just make them a cup of tea instead and be there for them.
– Don't waste your time scrolling through stuff that won't have any lasting affect on you. Make stuff instead.
– Remember you only know a fraction about someone else's life. Try not to buy into their "lifestyle" too much. They might never show you the truth, but believe things with a pinch of salt.
– Be careful who you go into business with.
– Don't make any rash decisions. (I waited and waited before deciding to quit my job. And I'm so glad I did. You'll know when to jump).
– Just like with romantic relationships, you can fall out of love with friends. It's horrible and messy and will make you sad, but break-ups happen for a reason. And sometimes, two people just aren't meant to be.
– Sometimes your world isn't actually collapsing, you just need an early night. And a tea. And a facemask.
– Save nice emails from people in a folder. On a bad day, have a look through them.
– Gut instinct beats everything. If it feels wrong, it's wrong.
– You can change your mind! Any time you want! How refreshing!
– Your team of people around you (personal and professional) are everything. Let them know how much you appreciate them as much as you can.
– Writing a book is a hustle. Promoting a book is a hustle.
– You know more than you think. You know stuff.
– Equally, sometimes it's fine to say "I don't know."
– Reading is a good for the soul. Make time for it.
– Don't ask anyone's permission. No-one will tap you on the shoulder and give you a dream opportunity. Give it to yourself.
– Don't say yes to too much stuff. And don't let people take the piss / ask for too much from you.
– Have a proper work space.
– Walking is legit exercise.
– You will hardly EVER regret saying "yes" to a new travel adventure.
– When public speaking, remember most people will get what you say, some really won't, and some will remember something you said years later without you even thinking it meant anything. (Inspired by an email I got from Frances Borzello).
– There is room for everyone.
– Be careful what/who you follow online. You are what you see.
– Engaging in politics has never been so crucial.
– Compliment people. On the tube, in the street, on Twitter. The world needs kindness.
– Putting one foot in front of the other each day is the best move you'll ever do.
Thank you for saying "Don't waste your time scrolling through stuff that won't have any lasting affect on you. Make stuff instead." I needed to hear that. Happy new year.

Tracking a stolen laptop
I have had my laptop stolen once, about seven years ago, from the trunk of a locked car parked at a shopping mall. You never forget that experience of being violated, of being stupid. (And it seems to be getting more common, according to this story in the LA Times last year where thieves follow customers buying new PCs home from Apple Stores.)
There are many 'phone home' products or services designed to track down a stolen laptop and help authorities recover them, including:
- Absolute Software's LoJack for Laptops
- zTraceGold
- Brigadoon's PC/Mac PhoneHome
- Apple's MobileMe for iPad and iPhones
- And there are a number of open source and free products such as PreyProject.com that are available too
A new entry to this market is from Blackblaze, an online storage vendor. As part of their $5/month backup plan, you can now track your laptop's last location. If you are considering using a new backup service, it might be worth checking out.
There are several issues with enterprise IT shops using these services, most of which are designed for consumers. The tools lack central monitoring (although LoJack Complete does and is worth looking at). An alternative to using these 'phone home' services include central imaging tools like Symantec Altiris and Kaseya, although you will need to program and customize them to handle these sorts of situations. Also, do check to ensure that the features promised on the Windows version are close to what are offered on the Mac side: some services don't quite achieve parity. (LoJack's Mac version doesn't include the special embedded BIOS agent that comes with their Windows product, as an example.)

Lewisham Labour have voted to oppose the Canadian/EU trade Treaty, CETA (the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement), to ensure that public services are protected against corporate interests.
Lewisham Council previously voted unanimously against TTIP (the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) due to concerns around ISDS (Investor State Dispute Settlement). CETA contains a similar mechanism called Investment Court System, which would enable corporation to sue governments if they think their profits are hindered by regulation.
Cllr Paul Bell, the proposer of the motion, said "CETA is just a clone of TTIP and is just as anti-democratic. The fact that this deal has happened behind closed doors and that parliaments across Europe have had little input is very concerning. It is equally shocking that our own MPs will only be able to debate the deal after it has been signed by EU officials.
Investment Court System allows companies to sue governments for lost profits if they introduce laws to protect people or the environment. This could easily include laws around public health such as anti-smoking regulations or sugar reduction campaigns. Government need to be able to introduce legislation that protect citizens without fear of corporations suing them.
CETA will come before the European parliament in early February for a Yes or No vote and we have called on all our London MEPs to vote against this deal. This trade deal must not go head in its current form as government must not be hindered in protecting the public because of corporate interests."
