Fire officials are on the scene trying to determine the cause.
"Staff ran over right away to get people out of the ride. People not in danger, because fire was in roof," said Westchester County Parks Department Deputy Commissioner Peter Tartaglia.
The Grand Carousel is one of the most popular rides at the Westchester County Park. The horses date back to 1915, the wooden structure to 1928 - when Playland Park first opened.

Because Facebook has become just about the most well-liked methods for kids to keep active in each other, it is important to know how to monitor kids upon Facebook. You might not have considered the significance of this, but rest assured, it's something that all parents should do.
Facebook is a substantial website as well as there are many individuals upon that site that maintain the report and also have large lists associated with friends. It is important to know how to keep track of children on Facebook to ensure they're remaining secure online.
You ought to have a close review your kid's report on the site. Make sure that the image is one that's not really exposing by any means. When you view your son or daughter's report, try to observe if you're able to entry any of the info, specifically if you are not upon your son or daughter's friends list. What ever you can see can also be seen by countless other individuals.
You will need to ensure that all of the privacy settings within your son or daughter's report are set to peak settings so that only the people within your child's close friends record can view any private information. This is a good idea if your child's bday and other personal information are not available to just anyone.
Tell your son or daughter not to allow any kind of friend requests till you have reviewed the details of the individual who wants to be included. Good sense should dominate right here. When the individual doesn't have a picture or even any details, block and ignore all of them. If your little one doesn't know this individual, merely do not include them like a friend.
These actions can help to save lots of issues from happening later on with regards to your son or daughter's report. You certainly don't want predators to locate a way to be included in to your son or daughter's profile. It is very important in order to understand how to monitor kids upon Facebook to keep all of them safe.
Searching for the keylogger online can be time intensive and confusing — should you go for the least expensive you'll find or the 1 most abundant in functions?

Muhammad Nimr al-Hawari (; 1908 - July 11, 1984) was a Nazareth-born Palestinian who studied law in Jerusalem, graduating in 1939. Al-Hawari served in the British Mandate administration as chief interpreter in the district court of Jaffa and chairman of the Association of Government second-division officers. He was transferred to Haifa where he resigned his government position in 1942. On his resignation, he returned to practicing law in Jaffa. Al-Hawari started his career as a devoted follower of Amin al-Husseini but broke with the influential Husseini family in the early 1940s. Muhammad Nimr Al-Hawari, during the termination of the British mandate, formed and commanded al-Najjada, a paramilitary armed movement. Al-Hawari was in command of the militia in the defence of Jaffa until he fled in the mass exodus of Palestinians in late December 1947. Al-Hawari fled from Jaffa to Ramallah in December 1947. Al-Hawari together with 'Aziz Shihada (also spelt Shehadeh) a lawyer from Ramallah opened an office in the West Bank for refugee affairs. Hawari returned to Palestine and years later became judge in the District Court of Nazareth.

In 1955, Muhammad Nimr Al-Hawari wrote and published a significant historic book titled, Sir Al-Nakba [The Secret Behind the Nakba]. As well as his native Arabic, Al-Hawari was fluent in English and Hebrew.

General Refugee Congress
The first meeting of the General Refugee Congress (GRC) occurred on 17 March 1949 in Ramallah where al-Hawari was elected as President with Yahya Hammuda and 'Aziz Shihada as deputies. The Palestine Conciliation Commission (PCC) hoping to gain a degree of independent Palestinian representation, invited Al-Hawari to come and appear before the PCC.

At informal meetings at the Lausanne peace talks during May 1949, Al-Hawari as head of the Palestinian refugee delegation put forward to Eliahu Sasson a plan that Israel should accept 400,000 refugees  to return to Palestine/Israel. A-Hawari put forward the argument that the Arab states did not want the refugees, would not assimilate them and that masses of refugees living on the cease fire lines, stateless and impoverished would give Israel nothing but grief. In June 1949 Al-Hawari contacted the Israeli Government suggesting an early solution to the refugee problem with 2 alternative plans; to create an independent Palestinian state or annex the West Bank to Israel.

The failure of the attempt by al-Hawari, Yahya Hammuda, 'Aziz Shihada, Sa'id Baidas and Francis Jelad to win a role for the independent refugee delegation at the Rhodes armistice talks in February 1949 and the subsequent Lausanne talks was an early demonstration of the inherent weakness of the Palestinian Arab people to replace the previous leadership structure destroyed by the collapse of the Palestinian society during the 1948 conflict. Although efforts were made to gain formal recognition of the GRC as a negotiating body and political representative of the Palestinian people. The Jordanian Government gradually marginalized the GRC until it withered away. Leaving Palestinian society fractured and fragmented.

All Palestine Government
Egypt sought the aid of Al-Hawari in early 1950 to strengthen the Mufti's political position, A-Hawari did not comply.

Iqrit
Al-Hawari was involved with the first legal action against the state of Israel in 1951 on behalf of 5 men of the village of Iqrit. Al-Hawari acting as their lawyer was instrumental in gaining the right of return for the men of Iqrit. On 31 July 1951 the Israeli courts recognized the rights of the villagers to their land and their right to return to it. The court said the land was not abandoned and therefore could not be placed under the custodian of enemy property.

Q: chart datapoint operand usage In the code snippet below I am attempting to compare two data points as I am trying to put all low value points in a pie chart dataset into on "Other" datapoint.
I am getting an "Cannot apply operator <> to operands of type System.....DataPoint and System.....DataPoint" on this code line " If pointValue <= minValue AndAlso Me.series.Points(index) <> colectedDataPoint "
 Dim collectedValue As Double = 0.0
        For index As Integer = 0 To Me.series.Points.Count - 1
            Dim pointValue As Double = Math.Abs(Me.series.Points(index).YValues(0))
            If pointValue <= minValue AndAlso Me.series.Points(index) <> colectedDataPoint Then
                ' Add point value to the collected value
                collectedValue += pointValue

                ' Add point to supplemental series
                Me.supplementalSeries.Points.Add(Me.series.Points(index).Clone())

                ' Remove point from the series
                Me.series.Points.RemoveAt(index)
                index -= 1
            End If
        Next

but yet if I write the same loop in C# that equivalent line is fine;
this.series.Points[index] != colectedDataPoint
anyone have a solution since the whole project is written in vb.net and i'd prefer to keep it uniform.

This blocked drain on Adelaide Road just above the entrance to Adelaide Bridge car park, reported in January, has not yet been fixed. The problem is that, because of the adjacent pavement profile, overflowing water runs into the adjacent Council-owned property, down a private road and to a drain just behind the garage of 26 Portland Place West (our house). Because of debris washed down from trees, this small drain has frequently to kept clear by us to prevent blockage (which would flood our garage). I would be grateful if this could be rectified asap. We are away for the next week and, with further heavy rain forecast, fear coming back to a flood if this work is not done. A longer-term fix would adjust the pavement profile to keep water within the road drainage system.


I don't remember writing this story because it was so long ago, 1977, 1978, something like that. I recognize the style, though, because it's the one that eventually became the style of the majority of my fiction. Marvel-style is how I describe it to myself. Marvel Comics written out rather than drawn, a story told through action and fast motion. I submitted it to a workshop, but no one ever got around to critiquing it. But, a few weeks later, one of the members of the group handed me a sheet of white paper, an acceptance from a magazine, The Elliot Bay Review. She'd submitted the story herself along with a few of my other pieces. Nice of her.


Photo: Garrett White shot a 2-under 70 in the second round of the Las Vegas Desert Classic.
LAS VEGAS, Nevada (March 5) – In a field loaded with top-shelf golf teams, Oklahoma Christian moved the right direction on Monday at the Las Vegas Desert Classic.
Led by under-par rounds from juniors Cameron Brown and Garrett White, the Eagles jumped three spots to second in the 18-team field. OC posted a team score of 1-under-par 287 and have a two-day total of 588, trailing only the No. 1-ranked team in NCAA Division II, West Florida, which distanced itself from the field and has a 15-shot lead heading into Tuesday's final round.
OC is four shots ahead of third-place Grand Valley State (Mich.) and six ahead of No. 24-ranked Arkansas Tech and Lindenwood (Mo.). The field also includes No. 19 Central Oklahoma and five other teams (including OC) that received votes in the most recent Division II coaches' poll.
Brown recorded six birdies and an eagle (on the par-5 No. 18) while shooting a 4-under-par 68 over the 6,962-yard layout at Royal Links Golf Club's Links Replica Course. He closed his round with two birdies over his final three holes, at the par-4 No. 2 and the par-5 No. 4.
At 1-under 143 through two rounds, Brown was tied for fifth in the 104-man field, 11 shots behind the leader, Chandler Blanchett of West Florida.
White also had six birdies en route to a 2-under 70, while OC junior Juan Pallach closed his even-par round with a birdie at the par-3 No. 3. Both were tied for ninth at 2-over 146.
Freshman Andres Brictson posted a 77 on Monday and was tied for 41st at 153. Two other Eagles were tied for 83rd at 160 – freshman Jackson Phillips (who shot an 83) and senior Chris Karlovich (who shot a 79). Karlovich is playing the tournament as an individual.
Eli Armstrong and Alexander Hughes both shot 73 in the second round as Central Oklahoma moved up three spots on the second day of the Las Vegas Desert Classic here Monday.
The No. 18-ranked Bronchos knocked 22 shots off their opening-day score with 297 and have a 616 total after two trips around the 6,962-yard, par-72 Royal Links Golf Club. UCO is 13th in the 18-team field heading into Tuesday's final round.
All five UCO players improved their scores from the first day, with Armstrong knocking five strokes off his first-day 78 and Hughes 10 off his opening 83. Blake Berry shot 75, while Wesley Jackson had a 76 and Nick Pierce a 79.
Armstrong made five birdies on the day and leads the Bronchos with a 151 total. Hughes bogeyed three of his first four holes before coming on strong and making five birdies in his last 14 holes to rally for the 73.
Berry had five bogeys and two birdies in his round and Jackson as two-under on his last nine holes after playing the first nine six-over.


Art Advocado: Art Education Advocacy Blog: Art at Recess: Better than Nothing, or Dangerous Precedent?
Art at Recess: Better than Nothing, or Dangerous Precedent?
Do you remember recess when you were a kid? (I suppose if you're currently an elementary school teacher the memory might not be so distant.) Though I've never been of the athletic persuasion I remember feeling as though recess was sacred - even if it was spent inside due to rain or bad weather. But according to this New York Times article, some NYC schools are squeezing "enrichment" subjects (i.e., the arts) and extracurricular activities into recess time in order to make the most of the school day. I am quite obviously a big fan of the arts, but I can't imagine I would have taken kindly to any proposal that diminished an already short and sweet recess time. (Of course, I went to elementary school in the '90s, before No Child Left Behind and the ubiquity of standardized testing. Perhaps kids today are more used to it?) So what does this mean for the arts? Read on to find out Art Advocado's take.
First, let's look at the pros. Though it's unclear in the article whether recess arts time is the only arts education these students get in school, it is implied. So it's easy to think- better than nothing, right? And it's true. Some art education IS better than nothing. A recess art class or violin lesson could spark a passion that becomes a career in years to come- or at least give students an opportunity to use their brains in a different way and develop some critical thinking skills. And there are school districts where arts have been cut dramatically or totally for budgetary reasons, or for time constraints in the face of standardized tests. If recess arts are a value-added program - providing art education in schools where there previously was none - than such the better!
Are the arts just "hobby-type stuff"?
Although art during recess might certainly be better than the alternative of no art, it does present some problems. Before I launch into the downsides of art during recess, I will say that I realize my objections are somewhat philosophical and don't always address the realities of running an elementary school, balancing the demands of parents, school boards, and standardized tests. But I think they are still worth mentioning.
One Manhattan parent describes the recess enrichment/club time at his first-grader's school as "hobby-type stuff geared toward introducing kids to different things." Here's where I wonder if recess arts could potentially be detrimental to the cause of art education in the long run. The phrase "hobby-type stuff" sounds innocuous and is, I'm sure, not meant to demean. But it does put art education - which should be a part of every curriculum, if you ask me - in the same category of, say, the movie club, which no one would deem necessary for a comprehensive education.
There's also a downside to having students opt-in. For every student that seeks out the arts there might be some that stumble upon it and fall in love with it. In an opt-in system, those students may be less likely to find their way. And if you're reading this blog I probably don't have to rehash the importance of arts education on critical thinking and problem solving skills (just in case- my past posts on the subject can be found here). Though reaching some students is better than nothing, many students will remain deprived of an opportunity to develop these skills that will serve them for the rest of their lives.
My final issue is with the framing of the New York Times' story. The headline implies that the recess arts/recess enrichments trend is going on at some of the more successful schools in the city. Though it's unclear if the programs are value-added or if they are replacing larger art programs, what if another school district imitates this idea as a money-saving technique and does implement it to replace a more comprehensive art education program? Perhaps it's far fetched but stranger things have happened.
I don't want to end on such a Debbie Downer note, and in the end I think any arts in schools is, as Martha Stewart would say, "a good thing." And the problems that art-at-recess programs seek to address aren't going away. Short of bigger reforms that gets more art teachers in the schools or adds more hours to the school day (or both), I don't have a better solution. Teachers (and students!), what do you think?
*On a programming note, from now on I will be posting closer to bi-weekly rather than every week (on account of that pesky day job). See you in two weeks for my last post of 2011!

Europe's position on data protection: The story of a huge gap between ideal and reality
By Alexis Bley Published on 14 October 2015 at 11 h 50 min
It is not always easy to see a clear line in the difficult relationship Europe maintains with its core values and data protection policies. The current development aims to point out contradictions on the European fight for increased data protection and to give a sense of responsibility to our governments when it comes to protecting democracy and fundamental rights. But first, let's start off with something positive. The EU Court of Justice rendered a remarkable decision on October 6th, invalidating the Safe Harbor principles. The Safe Harbor Privacy Principles allow US companies to register their certification if they meet the European Union requirements in order to transfer and process data collected from Europe to the United States. Facebook, Google and many more depend on this certification as under European law, companies are not allowed to send personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area unless they guarantee adequate levels of protection.
At the beginning of the litigation stands Mr. Schrems, an Austrian national, who lodged a complaint with the Irish data protection authority (the Data Protection Commissioner) against Facebook Ireland. He claims that, in the light of the PRISM revelations made in 2013, the Safe Harbor certification offers no real protection against mass surveillance of the data transferred to the United States and thus is contrary to the 1995 EU directive on data protection. The Irish authority rejected the complaint, on the ground, in particular, that in a 2002 decision the Commission considered that, under the Safe Harbour scheme, the United States ensures an adequate level of protection of the personal data transferred.
The European Court of Justice ruled on October 6th that the transatlantic Safe Harbour agreement is invalid as it does not guarantee sufficient data protection to EU citizens. Indeed, the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act as well as broad claims of national security, public interest and law enforcement requirements of the United States prevail over the Safe Harbour scheme and thus oblige US based companies to comply with their national law. The Court noted to this end that United States authorities were able to « access the personal data transferred from the Member States and to process it in a way incompatible, in particular, with the purposes for which it was transferred (…). »
The European Court of Justice reinforces with this judgement the European position on the necessary protection of private data. By doing so, the cancellation of the Safe Harbor agreement is the only possible consequence, mostly after the PRISM scandal revealed the inefficiency of this particular contract.
Is data transfer from Europe to the US endangered with this decision?
Absolutely not. EU law contains in itself significant exceptions that allow data transfer to third countries and thus derogate from the protective regime. For example, Article 26 of the 1995 EU data protection directive states that exceptions to data protection can be granted in different cases as for instance a public interest ground (a very broad term), defense of legal claims or simply by recovering the concerned person's consent (the famous small boxes giving us the choice between « agree to terms or conditions » or don't use my service).
Is the Court of Justice ruling going to have no effect at all considering data protection?
Not exactly. Even if this ruling has to be complimented per se, it is however very improbable that it is going to have a great positive impact on the protection of personal data. Besides the confusion it creates for multinational enterprises or even smaller start-ups operating both in Europe and in the United States, facing a significant legal vacuum, it is not very likely to have great effect in the US, whose officials already expressed their disappointment with this decision. The battle Europe is fighting against the United States on this particular point for many years, and probably for many more, is an ideological battle between two antagonistic positions. European authorities defend a very individualistic and intimate approach to personal data whereas overseas data are rather considered to be purely merchandisable information. If European authorities can impose their point of view on US companies operating within the EU, the possibility to have them complying fully with European law is, however, more than doubtful.
Sovereign data storage as a solution?
Lately, more and more recommendations arise proposing to have data of European citizens stored within the territory of the European Union to see European law applying to these data. However, Google's data center in Finland or Microsoft's data center in Ireland is not going to prevent these companies from transferring data to the United States in case their national law requires them to do so. The ongoing Microsoft case in the United States opposing the Department of Justice to the giant of the Internet has granted the DOJ in the first instance the right to demand emails of anyone in the world from any email provider headquartered within US borders. The case concerned an email account of Microsoft stored in Ireland which the DOJ claims to have a right to access to analyse suspicion of narcotics. The locality of the data centers is thus not as such a guarantee to have a unique law frame applying. Indeed, if the US Department of Justice requires private data to be analysed and is granted a legal right to do so, tech companies, even if their data centers are located outside US boundaries, will not be able to refuse and in these conditions it is going to be difficult for European law to be applied and to sanction companies for the violation of private data in case of a US legal obligation.
The Court of Justice ruling is, however, important for one main reason. If the data transfer is not going to be affected by the European Court of Justice ruling, US mass-surveillance of the data stored within Europe could be inhibited. Why? Simply because European authorities, aware of NSA spying practices, have power to control the flow of data transferred from Europe to America and thus to put pressure on the American government to stop mass surveillance of European citizens or of any data located within the European Union.
Europe is not credible when talking about the necessity to protect private data
However, Europe is losing credibility when it comes to giving lessons of morality to the United States for mass surveillance practices. If article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights claims the right to respect for private and family life, recent laws within the EU seem to derive significantly from this ideal. For instance, the recent French surveillance law (loi sur le renseignment) enables French intelligence agencies to spy on nearly everything without any serious legal challenges to overcome. Indeed, the bill sets up a special commission, (the CNCTR) supposed to arbitrate on surveillance of citizens. However, this independent instance is not granted sufficient powers to oppose itself to surveillance the government thinks is necessary as the latter can simply ignore the commission by invoking any broad argument of threat.
On top, the section on international surveillance, which has been invalidated by the French constitutional court earlier this year, is now envisaged again within a new law, under which almost all internet communications can be approved by the French authorities, without any form of meaningful checks and balance. "Allowing for such extensive, intrusive and indiscriminate mass surveillance is a flagrant violation of people's right to privacy and freedom of speech," states Sherif Elsayed-Ali, Deputy Director of Global Issues at Amnesty International.
While the « loi sur le renseignement » adopted in July already gives the government the authority to use mass surveillance techniques to combat terrorism, the new bill goes a step further and explicitly allows for mass surveillance techniques in the pursuit of a long and undefined list of objectives, including defending and promoting major foreign policy, economic and scientific interests and without any strict legislative control nor any other constraining control from another authority.
If Europe wants to have a credible voice in this ideological fight on data protection, it, first of all, has to protect its citizens from broad government surveillance. There is no trustworthiness in claiming the importance of the protection of personal data and at the same time allowing secret services to spy à la carte on whoever they desire. There is a difference between what is needed to monitor a few thousand dangerous individuals and allowing mass-surveillance of several millions of people. It is important to trace a line and to distinguish what needs to be distinguished not to authorise every justification on mass surveillance for vague reasons of threat. The desire of power to control everything is far more threatening than the individual danger we have to face.
In France, where the concept of the « Republic » is used over and over again in the public debate to revive controversies on French identity and immigration, it is rarely pointed out that these laws are everything but "Republican". Article 16 of the Declaration of the Rights of Men and of the Citizen, the founder text of the values of the French Republic, states that: "Any society in which the guarantee of rights is not assured, nor the separation of powers determined, has no Constitution".
Less verbal reassurances, more credible actions
It is time for European governments to take responsibilities and to stick to the values they claim, and are bound, to represent. We do not want the end of surveillance agencies, but we want them to stick to rules, determined and controlled by the legislator, and not the executive, and we don't want mass surveillance of European citizens by their governments. And very incidentally, to come back to the beginning, only this can bring back legitimacy to the European fight for private data protection.
To this end, we need public awareness and an appropriate debate on the extent of necessary surveillance. A debate involving every actor within our society, not only governments, and which comes back to the most basic democratic rule: the control of our institutions by the sovereign people and not the control of the sovereign people by the institutions.

Best Companies to Work For 2018
Announcing the Arrival of "Future at Work"
Employees send out three key messages to employers.
Shelly Singh New Delhi Print Edition: March 11, 2018
If one were to ask business persons to vote for 2017's most powerful theme, it would be "AI and Future of Work". Moving beyond coffee table discussions, there is not only a wider acknowledgement of "Future of Work" in 2018, but the action has also started. This year's BT-PeopleStrong "Best Companies to Work For In India" captures perceptions and aspirations like these and bring the key asks of your "born-free" workforce, which is announcing the beginning of the new world of work.
Here are the three distinct messages for employers.
We are ready to embrace digital; so should you!
As digital and AI become part of our lives, the question staring at employers is - how do we make people embrace change? Do my employees understand the impact and what needs to be done to get through this wave? Let me ask a question: Have we done enough to power this change? If not, we might be late. The good or bad news is that almost 60 per cent of the respondents accept digital disruption's impact on life and work. Eighty-five per cent of the respondents have chosen "Use of AI at workplaces", "Change in work culture and processes" and "Change in roles" as areas which will impact them in the next 6-12 months and are looking up to employers to facilitate this transition. Systems of record have moved to Systems of engagement, but that is not enough for this change. Mere automation is not digital. Employees have to be equipped with the Systems of intelligence that will power the wave of humanising organisations.
Attractive jobs don't make a Best Company To Work For
An often-heard quote is: Employees do not understand that mere technical skills are not enough for job and company fit. Our survey tells us employees feel a similar dichotomy with employers. As the world shifts to human-machine partnerships, what clicks is not the fancy job description. While respondents agree that good compensation, growth opportunities and work environment make a job attractive, the Best Companies to Work For are inclusive and fair, are visibly open, not driven by hierarchies and offer an opportunity to innovate. Fifty-six per cent respondents rated compensation as the least important parameter in this mix, and 50 per cent rated open and flatter organisations as the most important one.
It is a marked movement in an employee's priorities at work, and that is precisely why still 40 per cent employees are looking for new opportunities. This shift in mindset is visible in repeat appearance of Google, Accenture and Amazon in the Top Five list as these companies have accepted the ask of the young workforce in the new digital world, namely, Inclusion, Openness and Innovation.
Women say, "Time's up"
It is not only in the West that bringing women on a par with men is being discussed. Oprah Winfrey's powerful narrative of "Time's up" is echoed by women respondents. One out of five women has voted for the disparity in pay-performance compared to 8 per cent men and have passed on the message that the best place to work for provides "Fair" and "Equal" opportunity. It is heartening to see this, as voicing out the problem and not accepting the norm were long due. While organisations may still find reasons to question and ignore these asks today, the born-free workforce dreams of an Innovative, Inclusive and Open "Future of Work", and is demanding that employers create this future. Are we ready?

Fashion Design: Start to Finish
Lesson 39 of 47
Pre-Show: Create a Timeline and Checklist
This is again a little bit more logistics and here way want to think about the big picture not just the event so uh we want to think about the announcement and this is where I mentioned before about reverse engineering you kind of want to think how far out do you want to talk about this because if it's too far out people will forget about it so you want to think in terms of a save the date and then uh invitation and then maybe even a follow up as a reminder to get there are supes in so you want to think about what that timetable is and there's no right or wrong really you know you can kind of adjust it tio your audience is needs you know what you think their needs are but I would say you want to have the cps far enough in advance that you can plan for instance seeding you know if you have two hundred people are cp and you have a venue that seats one fifty you know you have a little bit of a problem so you need to figure that out so you want to have a cut off that's early enough that yo...
u can tell if you're working with the venue what you know what your needs are and then also work backwards from that and say ok, the reminder will come two weeks before and then the same that they maybe I don't know a month before, but once it gets past that, it's just starts to get really leggy that's about the most distance from the event that I would give it. But besides picking a date for the event and for the announcement, you need to think about what that announcement is going to be like and this is where you pull in all your great graphic design friends and you start to say let's, collaborate on on what this is going to look like, how it's going to reflect mia's a designer but then also the event itself and a great place also not so much the invitation but if you and do any printed materials for the show it's a great place to thank people be careful with uh I was just a little warning about programs and things like that sometimes they're a necessary evil for events, but they get very logo heavy everybody wants their logo on it and just lots of thank you's that's all great, but I would challenge you to make that program a little bit more of a keep sake rather than a programme and saying what could I put in their image wise or story wise or something that people go oh, this is really special I want to keep this s o instead of just, you know, just doing logistical stuff even though that's very important that you want to acknowledge everybody, uh, I would say make it a little bit more special because one of the things I've noticed over twenty years is that programs andi, any kind of handouts like that at a show usually end up under the seats and it's, just a matter of cleaning them up afterwards for recycling. So you want to give them a reason, just like with the press, you wanna give him a reason to take home that collateral that you've created all right promotion when it comes to promoting the show, just like the timetable for for all of this, for the for the date, you want to think about rolling out a campaign that's like in advertising, you want to serve, roll things out and ask yourself, when is a good time to send that press release? When is a good time? A little note on that. The key to that is finding out where you're sending it and what their lead time if you send a magazine. Ah, press release for your event, that's happening in four weeks. They won't write about it, they may come and cover it, but you can't count on that, but they definitely won't write about it and help you promote it, so because they don't have the time line usually it's at least four to six weeks in advance, so but online services or online calendars or daly's, could be, you know, someone you approach a little bit, you know, with that kind of lead time, um, and then you want to think about what are the messages we talked about this earlier about creating different types of messages for different audiences, different sizes? Um, I went through this when I was thinking about this course, you know, how often am I going to tweet how, how much? How many posted a magnet on facebook and it up my time was really completely filled, so I didn't do much of it, but I tried, but the plan was I thought about it and said, how am I going to roll this out? You know, how am I going to tease it out earlier? How we're going to make it sound exciting and it's interesting, because working with the creative life team has been really cool because they have their needs as to how they roll things out, and they encouraged me to think about how I would connect with my audience around the course because it's a little different than the bigger audience you know the scope of the company so when you're working collaborating with different people think about those elements like you know, a week before there has to be a really good facebook post the week of I'm tweeting every day you know, sending a little message yes, some examples of what what those tweets might be or what what's the content they would put in one of those facebook post to get that attention because it's very different the facebook post I almost treat them as archive oh, you know, I think of them about sort of letting these like sort of stone sit in place that they'll you know they'll have ah shelf life so I think of them is like this is a good post that takes someone where that tells someone a story or connects with connects them with somebody who's important part of the show like the charity you know, it might be a whole event about, you know, the one of the people that the charity is helping and how the designer met that person and they're part of the show those air interesting little stories that you can go sort of longer form when you're tweeting I often find either they're sort of fun energy you know all about the energy of the show so little perceptions of what's going on but also they're really really good for called toe actions so you can put something out there and say, you know if you are sleepy for the show today or if you are goto get your ticket today it's going to be twenty percent off so you think about that the early bird conferences do that a lot where if you get your ticket by a certain time and you announced this on the website and the invitation but then you reinforce it with tweets and posts and andi you have instagram which is I think we talked a little bit about this about giving people this visual insider uh look into what you're doing not just the process but when you're putting together a show you're doing the model casting click click click you know and not necessarily the specific model you know because that could be a little like you know that's not a special but the environment like get a picture you know walk to the corner of the room there's a lot here in the studios like cool shots and you know and get a shot of the room and get a shot of the like behind the people you know, checking out the model als o are the models all waiting and looking really bored you know, like all these different kinds of things that could be fun and exposed your your audience to this whole experience with you all right um prep it sounds pretty easy, but you need to build in a really sensible block of time went in for just the prep of the show you want to anticipate any issues, pack tool kits? You know, we were talking about this with the guides actually that's a good place to kind of bring up the gear guide for fashion shows. I have it here at the back and so many of the things it's a long list, so I'm not going to go through the hole thing, but you want to think about the care of the clothes, what you need to do once it arrives, you know, for instance, like steamers and irons, and then even just a little side note, you want to make sure at the venue that you can plug those things in hair and makeup. You want to see so many hair dryers anymore, but hairdryers, you know, step of a lot of electricity, so you're gonna make sure you don't blow a fuse but getting back to the gear guide all different kinds of tapes, pins, sewing kits, scissors uh oh straws for the makeup kids so that they don't ruin their makeup and still can drink, and that could not pass out on you, you know, little things like that and index cards, sharpies, travel bags, hangers, music you know like have something where you can play music because that can always help set a mood all these one like all these little minute little things that you made sort of take for granted but when you get there like if only I had that ah a key thing about models and just your team in general what you want to really consider is having food and water for for your team's especially if it's going to be a long period of time I have had models faint backstage just waiting just waiting they just completely pass out and you know, having bananas or water you know, bars, health bars, whatever it is you do want to make sure that whatever food did you get isn't dangerous for your clothes so you know we're gonna have red wine backstage or anyone for that matter s o but you want to think about you know, those kinds of things because I'm guilty of it most you know, every once in a while I get a reminder from when the crew here drink some water because I forget on dh so you have to remember when you're in the moment you need that person who's checking you know, it's playing mother so to speak and it shouldn't really be you it should really be someone on your team who's checking in with you to make sure everybody's okay and that is a incredibly valuable thing so okay, so the prep there's so much going in just the prepping what you're bringing never mind just prepping the collection and we also talked about in the making stage how finishing and packaging everything how are you transporting it if it's going in a car for instance, all your clothes are going to be laying down right there going to be flat so how is that going to affect your clothes for some clothes that won't be a big deal for other close it will mean lots of work at the venue so it might be worth it to hire a van that has you know that you could put a rack in standing up and actually drive it out and have the clothes and perfect you know, in perfect condition when you get there um in this block of time you also need to consider communications making sure that throughout this whole process you make sure all the people that you have coming are you're checking in with people who make here they're getting in okay, they're not lost they know the entrance of the venue that they need to go through rather than the first one I mean the audience one and so that takes a lot of planning and you have to allow yourself that and I know a lot of designers you see in movies and television shows working to the very last minute you know, they're sewing something on before it goes on stage. That's gonna happen? It shouldn't, uh, it shouldn't really be happening right before the dress goes out. If there is an accident or something that makes sense, but your clothes, you should have them done well in advance, and not only just so that they're ready for the show, but in promotional materials the very day after the show or even the day of the show. You might want to have already photographed all your pieces, so when you have because a customer, possibly when you have press that's something as your your design team, your assistant or your press person, I can hand off in a moment and it reinforces that whole possibility of people writing about you, but it takes a lot of planning tto have this clothes ready way, way in advance when we work with our launch designers in boston, which are new designers that were kind of helping get in the public eye, their clothes have to be ready a minimum of two weeks before the show, because we schedule a photographer to shoot every look so that once the press asks, they don't miss an opportunity to get in the press because those items have already been photographed, okay, and again, it doesn't have to be a big, fancy shoot. An editorial it's almost better if it's, you know, white space and it's more of a catalog field. But you've documented and also for your archives is a designer it's good to do that, uh, set up a schedule, the sequence so you want to know what makes sense a lot of designers initially, we'll have everyone show up at the same time. You want to stagger everything for when you need them. If you have everyone show up at the same time, not only do you have a lot of people just waiting around for hours, but you get a lot of angry people waiting around for hours, so really try to think, how early do I really need this person? And we get teo, we're going to talk about it in a minute about the post show, but you want to do that at the end of the show is, well, you want to know who's going to be with you at the end of the show? Because if it's a long event, you might not be the same team staging sets and choreography we touched up touch about this, but again planning it out with the professionals or eliminating an altogether, you know, saying, I want a clean, clean slate and then show time just a little advice. Um the audience and what its and and and what is supposed to happen they don't know what's supposed to happen they don't know the order that dress is supposed to go out in. So I've had shows that where the designer will hold all the models because one of the looks is not ready. The worst possible thing you could do nothing worse than dead time on a runway people get fidgety, it looks terrible, they don't know that that model is supposed to come out next so it's better to have a great flow and go with it and have fun and act like this is the way it's supposed to happen than to apologize or to make people wait. So remember, this part of your fashion experience is not so much about you as about the experience that you're sharing, so just a little tip like they don't know what's supposed to happen, so whatever happens, this was supposed to happen, okay? And we have a question here from wonderful yeah, I was just going to say that I'm struck by how all of this relates to planning a wedding, and all of those things are exactly what people need to have happen when they plan their wedding and actually what had happened bright suit, they hire a wedding planner because often this is so overwhelming and they're concentrating on being the bride so it's just like with the designer you want to make sure you have this incredible team and what I would suggest to if you don't have uh sort of this team in place think about working with people that you think that you might identify as being good at certain things that maybe have never done it before and being honest I've never done it before right? So you say to them I've never done it before but I think you'd be really good to do this part and on dh working with them and coming up with strategy for like thinking it's because sometimes out of not having done it before and this comes into that place where if we haven't done it before this seems like very foreign and distant but if you haven't done it before sometimes you can come up with new and fresh ways to look at it that no one else has seen because they're so used to you know the structure that's been in place forever yeah well I would love to see if anybody at home or anyone here has additional questions on the subject matter that are things to consider challenges that you've had in terms of I'm getting to this point uh or any further experiences that you want to share well I think everything we talked about so far is pre show yeah this is like this huge pre show checklist this is before you even get get the girls on the runway and uh it's important not to again like I said before about other areas it's not tow located as a chore even though it's exhausting sometimes even talk about it and think about it it's just like feels like so much if we compartmentalize and we break it down and we take it one nugget at a time we can allow ourselves to do a lot with it and then also as I think I mentioned earlier when you asked me about you know, do I lose sleep over fashion shows nowadays and it's like not anymore and the main reason is I delegate so I make sure I worked years on developing relationships with incredible people who are really talented at what they do and on and we collaborate on all the issues in advance and then they take the ball and run with it and in all these areas and and after a while you build up a real trust and you know, not only does she have your back but she's going to deliver and probably surprise you in a really good way so yes, I have a question here um uh I found some some when I've done these shows and I've also done some other not fashion shows but other events and uh I've I've actually they used to have to do with the arts and stuff like that, but I've always yeah, they're stressful and you know there's a lot of work to be done but I've always looked at it uh from the standpoint that it's all part of the creative process because it's you have your let's see your outfits or what your designs that you're showing but this is showcasing everything zall big part of the theater tire design process it's like it's like the finishing touches on a big picture oh and and to look at it like that kind of takes the stress out of out of, you know, thinking home well because I mean it really is a whole other job and like a lot of the things we way spoken about, you know, the research phase the sewing, the construction, the pattern making not we're not going to be experts at all of them and we need to really embrace that in a good way and saying it'll if anything we're saying to ourselves, well, this is going to help me figure out what I'm really really good at and I know I've done a lot of things over the years and I love designing I love drying I love making patterns all those kinds of things but I realized that the communication aspect of it was what was I mean, I could just go on for days talking about it and doing it and I lost time you know how they say you lose time and that's, what you should be doing and so in that come out of years of training in all different times of things. But all that training and all that information is I feel what kind of makes me good at what I do and it's funny, they say it's really funny. They say that what you were scolded for when you were a kid often is what you're really good at as an adult. And I remember on my report cards, j I's doing jacob was doing very well in class, but he would do so much better if he stopped talking in class and that's. All I do is an adult is talking about what I do, and I love it, you know, and and thankfully, people are willing to hear what I have to say, but, yeah, it's, like a lot of times you can look to those things that aaron ate ly a part of your nature and go with it. So I was always getting caught passing notes teo way talking way are, uh, jay wanted to ask a couple of questions before we dio you continue on and we have in the beginning, we started to talk about when you look at whether doing a fashion show is something you should even consider is the why and what is it that you want out of it so libera cheese saying I'd like to know how to make the average customer feel like fashion is relevant to them I understand putting models who look like you're customers in the show however, I never got the sense of washington watching shows from say, new york fashion week that those folks are actually speaking to me so can you and I think that's a lot for a lot of people who look at it I think it depends that what your goal is because the goal of shows for instance during new york fashion week and I don't want to say all shows but good majority of the shows is not to relate tio, as you know, has the individual who's looking about fashion it's all about perception and fantasy and you know this this imagery in this lifestyle and fantasy that they're creating so there often the clothes that you might see on a big show much of it might not ever make it to the store. But the feeling that you got at that sets the tone for why you would maybe pick up an accessory or pick up you know, a scent or pick up you know, whatever it is that will make you feel like you're connected to that fantasy, you know, we saw the karl lagerfeld beautiful experiential shows where he does these incredible sense so if you buy into that collection in anyway, whether it be an accessory or just, you know, perfume or whatever it is, you feel like you have a link to that, but it's less about being relevant to our lifestyle and more about selling you a fantasy. But that's, not the strategy of every fashion show that's why we talked about why that's definitely promotional and they're setting the stage is like the biggest advertising investment because they are setting the tone for that season, saying, this is what we're focusing on, and we invite you to be a part of it, whereas, you know a show that might be about the community and real time it's, you know, it's really about connecting and reflecting so but even with the big designers to do these big shows you the consumer for this product, even if they're not that age or that size that's what they want to see, they want to see the very young, tall, skinny model, because when they put on those clothes, they want to imagine themselves like that. So it's a part of the fantasy and everybody is different, so that's, the beauty of it is that we can interpret it however we want.

Jay is a rare gem in the world of instructors. He has the perfect balance of information, examples, and hands on visuals. He included his students in the teaching process. They were not just the audience. Even the viewers were encouraged to participate! I loved his teaching style and enthusiasm as well as the content of information he shared with us. He covered a vast amount of information and led us at a pace that was very easy to follow. It reaffirmed my love of fashion as well as designing new ideas. This class was inspiring and motivating. If you are even the slightest bit curious about Fashion Design, constructing patterns, or even drawing models, this class is for you. It was all encompassing for an overview of Fashion Design from start to finish. Jay has an easygoing manner that you will want to watch him again and again. A great resource for your library. I can't wait to see him again in the Creative Live classroom!. Good luck to Jay and all his endeavors! Thank you Creative Live for providing yet another great learning opportunity for an international audience.
This is day one of Jays class and I am already hooked and purchased this class. Jay is an awesome instructor. He explains everything in easy to understand terms. He explained things that I have bought books to learn and didn't in one easy lesson. I recommend this class for anyone that has a interest in Fashion design or even learning to draw models for anything you need to sketch out. I hope Creative Live will bring Jay back for more classes. Jay is a instructor also worth having in your tool box of CL classes to refer back to for learning and inspiration! Thank You Jay for sharing your knowledge with us!!
I agree with everything that michelle-b said in her review of this class, and will add that I can tell that he is an instructor who not only knows his subject matter, but has excellent teaching skills. He is very engaged with his students, and focused on making sure that they get what he is telling/showing them. He also has the rare gift of distilling a complex subject down to its essence and teaching it in a simplified form that gives the student a good overview of the basics, and somehow also gives the student insight into more of the subject's depth than he actually says in words. This broader understanding of the subject empowers the student to proceed on a much higher level than would be possible after taking any other course overview. Even more amazing is that the lessons covered in this way could be (and are) full courses in themselves elsewhere, but were merely segments of this two-day CL class. For this reason, if I ever got a chance to take one of Jay's classes at the School of Fashion Design, I would take it in an instant. I too bought this class by the end of Day 1. For me, the segments on sketching and drafting alone were worth the $69, and the rest is bonus.

Q: How to get a string representation of a property name of a Model in MVC3? I have the following model:
Public Class MyModel

    Public Property MyModelId As Integer
    Public Property Description As String
    Public Property AnotherProperty As String

End Class

Is there a method to get a property name of the Model as a string representation like the following code?
Dim propertyName as String = GetPropertyNameAsStringMethod(MyModel.Description)

So the propertyName variable has "Description" as value.

A: Check the Darin Dimitrov' answer on this SO thread - Reflection - get property name.
class Foo
{
    public string Bar { get; set; }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        var result = Get<Foo, string>(x => x.Bar);
        Console.WriteLine(result);
    }

    static string Get<T, TResult>(Expression<Func<T, TResult>> expression)
    {
        var me = expression.Body as MemberExpression;
        if (me != null)
        {
            return me.Member.Name;
        }
        return null;
    }
}

Hope this help..

A: Here is a helper extension method you can use for any property:
public static class ReflectionExtensions
{
    public static string PropertyName<T>(this T owner,
        Expression<Func<T, object>> expression) where T : class
    {
        if (owner == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("owner");
        var memberExpression = (MemberExpression)expression.Body;
        return memberExpression.Member.Name;
    }

}

However, this will only work on instances of a class. You can write a similar extension method that will operate directly on the type instead.

A: You need to do it using reflection.
There are already loads of posts on stack overflow like this:
How to get current property name via reflection?
Reflection - get property name
Get string name of property using reflection
Reflection - get property name
I believe that the answer will be along the lines of:
 string prop = "name";
 PropertyInfo pi = myObject.GetType().GetProperty(prop);

A: Create an extension method and then use it where needed.
Private Shared Function GetPropertyName(Of T)(exp As Expression(Of Func(Of T))) As String
    Return (DirectCast(exp.Body, MemberExpression).Member).Name
End Function

have a look at this post as well.

A: I have solved this issue editing a bit @NiranjanKala's source example,
converting the code in vb.Net like this
<System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension()> _
Public Function GetPropertyName(Of T, TResult)(expression As Expression(Of Func(Of T, TResult))) As String
    Dim [me] = TryCast(expression.Body, MemberExpression)
    If [me] IsNot Nothing Then
        Return [me].Member.Name
    End If
    Return Nothing
End Function

Then I am able to call the extension like this
Dim propertyName as String = GetPropertyName(Of MyModel, String)(Function(x) x.Description)

Then propertyName variable has "Description" as string value.

Hannah Johnson & The Broken Hearts featuring Stewart Johnson on Pedal Steel, Chris Shirley on Guitar, Simon Smith on Bass and Howard Smith on Drums.
Join Hannah Johnson and co. for her annual Christmas Special at The Hare and Hounds, King Heath, Birmingham. Following the release of her 5 star, critically acclaimed album 'Shaken', Miss Johnson looks forward to performing live in her hometown of Brum, to celebrate with fans and friends this Christmas 2017 with some festive songs to boot!
On this record Ms Johnson delves deep into her influences of old country, the blues and honky tonk music. The choice of material is imperative to Hannah, who has spent a long time studying the vocal styles of country greats such as Faron Young, George Jones & Ray Price.
However, there is also reaction against these extreme ends of the industry machine and artists like Hannah Johnson are approaching their music with a refreshing honesty and commitment to the core principles of 'old' country music, celebrating the heritage and history rather than diluting it. Undoubtedly spending so much time in Austin, Texas has influenced her immensely, as the music she is making falls much more under the bracket of what Dale Watson is doing with his "Ameripolitan" genre than the new country from Nashville.
Hannah sings classic country songs about drinking and heart ache straight from a Honky Tonk, her sultry and smokey voice taking on the likes of Patsy Cline, Skeets McDonald and Willie Nelson. But what also cannot be ignored in her voice is the strong influence from the blues, as exemplified on her cover of an old Charlie Patton number and her powerful rendition of 'Trouble In Mind'.

In the evening while at the laundromat I found myself in a predicament. I had a pocket full of quarters and a hankering for a delicious treat, but to my surprise all the candy machines were empty… all but one.
Upon further inspection of this specific machine I noticed that this was not a candy I could buy but instead a sticky mound I liked to call Goo. This gelatinous mess seemed to be the byproduct of really old melted candy and an ill maintained laundromat but nevertheless I grew fond of the Goo.
As weeks passed I'd visit the Goo and was in awe of its progression, it never got bigger or more disgusting, it just seemed to solidify more and more over time. The Goo gained a following over time as well it became very famous on several social media platforms, everyone was overjoyed that the Goo was sticking around.
After a couple of months of this red Goo being the only thing in these candy machines I figured the Goo would never go away. It was reliable, but one sad night I found myself at the laundromat and as I went to check on my old friend the Goo was nowhere to be found, in its place SKITTLES!! I wouldn't think it's odd if they had filled the rest of the candy machines as well, however the only machine that has candy in it used to hold the Goo.
It's my belief that the Goo is still there hiding just beneath the skittles which means two possible outcomes: one the skittles add to the Goo with the impending summer heat that's coming our way or two enough people use their quarters to buy the skittles and uncover the illustrious Goo.
I know I'm romanticizing melted candy but it was a friend and I will always cherish the time we had together and I hope to see the Goo return in all its glory someday until then farewell old friend.

President Biden Signs New National Holiday Bill: Tuesday Feb. 22
Tuesday February 22nd becomes new National Holiday after bill signing goes wrong.
Tuesday February 22nd, or "TwosDay" as folks around the Internet have begun to call it do to its numerical pattern of 2/22/22, has officially become its own national holiday. The holiday however will not take up the "TwosDay" mantle but rather "Goof Day".
The term Goof Day is typically used to describe a day of relaxation, fun, and "Goofing off". The reason behind the selection of this name actually comes from an error that occurred during President Joe Biden's recent signing of bill 2112 section 6 into law. The proposed bill would create stricter qualifications and a more thorough screening process for the approval of government aid programs like WICK. During the public signing however, President Biden was momentarily distracted by the attending press and actually signed Bill 2112 section 9 into law. This section of the bill was proposed by A member of the US Armed Forces, Leif Cassidy, and would officially recognize February 22nd as a National Holliday.
GoofDay as it is now being called will see the closures of Schools, Government Buildings, and all jobs not directly serving state administration. Banks however, will remain open. The bill claims the reason for this is due to, "people need a little extra dough to goof off now and days."
Goof Day is quickly being used as a way to market Black Friday like sales, and cyber stores like the StyleRebelRadio.com Shop are already offering promotions up to 15% off with promo code "Goof".
There is no current plan to reverse the ruling of this bill. We will continue to follow this story as it progresses.

Bees Aren't Birds
Everybody loves bees and everybody LOVES birds though they work for the government. All everybody talks about is the birds and the bees and how they're the bees knees but nobody talks about the bees and the birds and how they're the birds knees. This is a scientific theses supported by bibliographic evidence on how western culture and society views bees as birds.
I walked outside after a long day of cleaning the sofa. I wanted to unwind so I decided to chop some wood for the upcoming summer. After 2 swipes I couldn't see too much because of the sweat drooping down my face. I decided to pull my hair back, tighten my kilt, and toughen up though the tears. "This is where the fun begins."
Photodune.com
Oh right this is a post about bees and birds. The scientific evidence shows it all through the eyes of linguistic relativity. Bees and birds can be the same thing through the eyes of New Yorkers, considering they've never seen bees before. The prime difference between birds and bees is that birds do not have knees. Bees also have pollination abilities. No bird ever does that. Not one single bird is able to collect pollen and/or nectar. This is proof #1.
Another distinguishable difference is that bees are blue collar while birds are living off of welfare. Many different types of bees build their own homes with motivation and craftsmanship while birds collect trash from the ground and steal from other organisms' properties. This is proof #2.
The final point of evidence lies on your vehicle's hood and windshield. No bee has ever taken a dumb on your car right? Right? Well that should be enough to know that birds are the inferior species and they do not understand the systematic failure of corrupt government that we are experiencing as a democratic republic. All they do is buzz and have no thoughts. Birds think politics, not pollen.

Beavis and Butthead Returns
Series creator Mike Judge has confirmed the return of Beavis and Butthead.
Show creator Mike Judge has confirmed on Twitter the metal-loving duo of Beavis and Butthead will be making a triumphant return to the big screen in 2022 with a follow-up movie to the 1996 cult classic, Beavis and Butthead Do America. The film is set to be released on Paramount+ and will feature middle-aged versions of the dynamic-duo. Paramount+ is the same streaming service that ordered a new South Park special at the tail end of 2021 feature "adult versions" of all the main characters.
Judge accompanied his announcement with two character design sketches for Beavis and Butthead (below) with the caption, "They need some time to get back in shape."
@MikeJudge -Twitter
This announcement follows one made by Judge back in 2020 describing his new deal with Comedy Central to seemingly reboot the series for two more seasons set in the modern era. With no date yet announced for either project, we eagerly look forward to seeing our two favorite degenerates on the screen once again.
Will the Beavis and Butthead movie be a precursor for the rumored new seasons on Comedy Central? Let us know what you think down below as well as in the WSRR Discord server!

Types of Chumps You Meet Hiking
As a somewhat experienced hiker myself. The general hiking crowd knows about these certain stereotypes and it rubs off on them in either positive or VERY negative ways. Most of these listed are going to follow the latter category, so enjoy.
1) The Yogi
Barefooters.org
Known as the most spiritual hikers out on the trail, these chumps usually have two reasons for being in the wilderness: they're either looking for themselves or a new smoke spot. These free-going individuals usually spend extensive times in the woods even though they have a minimal home 30min-1hr away. To spot these chumps, look to see if they're wearing shoes. If not, Yogi. Long dreads and tie-dye shirt? Yogi. Pungent stench? Either rock climber or Yogi. Climbers will be mentioned soon.
2.) Jesus Christ
These are one of the most common chumps you'll bump into while hiking. It's pretty straight forward and easy to recognize these guys. Running into more than 3 Jesus Christs while hiking is a pretty normal thing. Many that read these fit this category pretty well. You look like a Yogi, but we know you're not. So stop being a FAKE.
3.) Enlisted/Vets
Local12.com
If you think you see Chris Kyle while hiking? Don't worry. It's just another identical looking military veteran. It's pretty easy to spot these guys. Just look for the short hair, beard, and American flag patch on his S.O.G. Backpack. Sometimes they're with kids, sometimes alone. If they're still enlisted, check for their boots. They might still be the same ones issued to them on their last deployment.
4.) Commando!
The trek.com
We know that there's a debate between practicality and health when it comes to not wearing your undies while hiking. What isn't a debate however, is seeing a lot of asscheek and a lot of nipples poking through shirts while on populated trails. No hate on either end, but sometimes even an outdoorsman can witness too much.
5.) DJ KHALED!
Alamy.com
I don't know how many times it has to be addressed. It IS rude to blast your music while hiking. Most hikers try to get away from the material world and you're bringing them right back in by listening to modern era radio music. Most of the time, it's either rap or pop that these chumps listen to and sometimes, you don't even need to see them to know where they're at. Take a breath once in a while, smell the fresh air, and enjoy the natural world.
6.) The Good Boy/Girl
Dailypaws.com
Being the most wholesome on the list, the Good Boy/Girl is always a pleasure to see while hiking. Many receive the biggest of treats and pets for staying on the trail or finding the biggest stick to give to their owner. Very few and very sad individuals dislike this category.
7.) The Ultra
Massultra.com
Being the most hardcore on the list, these chumps will smoke anybody on the trail to obtain their new PR. Training for months at a time for one race, these guys/gals will always be seen from afar wearing their running shorts, headphones, and fanny packs booking it up or down to the trailhead. Respect for doing it, but everything isn't a competition. Some haven't learned that yet.
8.) Insta Hoe
Fineartamerica.com
Located at the trailheads or 1/4 of the way through. These chumps are always paying attention to their social media following and sponsorships instead of the natural world. Being in either large groups or solo, it's best to stay away from these chumps because they tend to be very extroverted and have little to no knowledge of the trail itself. Clout>beauty to them.
9.) Rock Climbers
Hiconsumption.com
You can find these sweaty chumps off trail and high up. These guys may also qualify as Yogis depending on how into it they are. Parking near the trailheads in their vans, they either reside solo as a Boulder bro or in groups as sport/trad nerds. They are either really quiet and awkward or way too extroverted (there's no in between). They're a cult and always talk about their pumps.
10.) The Geezer
Picfair.com
Being spotted as soon as the park opens, these chumps know everything about the history of the park and have been through almost every scenario that you bring up. They'll pass you and very loudly say "Good Morning!" Then make a dad joke that'll make you exhale loudly when you pass them. They are slower because of their age, but they have been doing it since 75 baby!

How To Get NFTs for FREE
So, You've got an extra $2000 that you want to throw away in a digital trash can rather than a physical. Enter NFT's. You've been good, why not treat yourself to some metadata for a poorly rendered piece of "art". But what's this, you refused to pull out your net profit in crypto six months ago when it peaked and now find yourself in a constant battle with the refresh page button over your diminutive decimal point value? Not to worry my friend, even you can still get yourself some NFTs.
So what exactly is an NFT anyway? NFTs or Non-Fungible Tokens are more or less one-of-one digital "art" pieces that belong to a blockchain. What does that mean to you? Essentially you can be extra and own the data behind this artwork or media for bragging rights… I suppose. Once you buy an NFT it's yours, no one else can buy that same blockchain unless you decide to sell it. NFTs can come in a multitude of media sources including, but not limited to, PNG files, GIFs, Videos, Jpeg files, etc.
But here's the thing right… while it may be a weird niche flex to own the metadata and blockchain behind some little 8-bit sprite some dude on the internet likely created for next to nothing, at the end of the day you bought it because it looks cool. To clarify everything that is about to follow, in regards to the images and other media referenced, it is implied these will NOT be used for commercial or monetary use. The theoretical use of these images will be purely for the viewer's own enjoyment.
Okay legal disclaimer aside, you buy NFTs ultimately because you like how they look. Now think back to your first iPod touch. You downloaded that generic wallpaper app and went to town downloading and screen-shoting every dope looking design under the sun. To that vein, what is honestly stopping you from taking a picture or downloading the media file of an NFT? If strictly for your own enjoyment why not? You don't plan on selling it so that aspect is out the window. It's digital artwork that can been seen on the vast, readily available resource that is the internet. If the reason you want to buy an NFT is to have some little animated computer generated image to yourself, take a picture man. No need to shell out $2,000 for something that is restricted to a digital platform. Hell, Print it out for all I care. Below is an example of a PNG file I have created… yeah I made it just to cover any other bases here… feel free to take a picture or download it to your liking. For all intensive purposes this is an NFT, I am the only one who possesses the coding and metadata file this was made on.
PNG made by Yours Truly Via Spark… For Free
On second thought, If you'd like to pay me $450 for that, I'm willing to talk.

Real Life Dumb and Dumber MiniBike to Aspen
Dumb & Dumber is one of the most infamous comedies of the last few decades and for good reason. Either idolized or despised by the viewing audience, the classic has stood the test of time and remains one of the most well known and quotes movies to date. Being able to quote the film seamlessly is almost commonplace in society now and days, what's not however, is attempting the infamous mini bike trip… until now.
RevZilla's Common Trend members Ari Henning and Zack Courts recreated the 350+ mile journey from Nebraska to Aspen on their very own custom built, scale mini bike replica! The pull-start bike complete with streamers and basket was just the start however, the whole journey wouldn't have been worth it without bringing along a suitcase! The team researched the most probable rout the dynamic duo could've traveled, mapped it out, and headed for the Rockies!
The journey was not without its challenges as one may suspect, the team blowing out two back tires from the pressure of the trip. The small unstable frame of the bike made for a difficult time navigating through high wind speeds and curves while trying to remain stable. More issues the pair encountered can be found in their account of the trip and the process leading up to it here on RevZilla, where they also detail a few encounters with the law.
Photo from: Dumb & Dumber Wiki
The guys made the long hull to Aspen, "Some place warm, a place where the beer flows like wine, where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano", proving the ridiculous completely possible. Dressed head to toe in their best Harry and Lloyd attire, Briefcase in hand, and a "hog" that'll get 70, or at least close to, miles to the gallon! Let's just hope they didn't do it all for a girl named Mary!
You can watch the full video of the trip below courtesy of RevZilla's Youtube Page as well as get the full breakdown of the trip and all the stops along the way on their webpage!
We just have one more question, was John Denver a load of shit, man?

Bizarre Items from Musicians that Sold for Ridiculous Amounts of Money
How much would you be willing to pay for an authentic item from your favorite musician? A guitar pick caught in concert, a shirt, scarf, autograph, or even an instrument itself are all commonplace among collectors in the music world. However what about personal, and every day items you wouldn't necessarily associate with your favorite act. Believe it or not, some of the highest closing auctions for musicians belong to some of the most unique items that may seem like nothing more than common trash to some. Well, one mans trash is another's treasure they say, and with that in mind here are just a few of the most bizarre items that sold for ridiculous amounts of money at auction.
Justin Timberlake's French Toast
If you had to re-read that we don't blame you! Yes, this is correct. All the way back in the year 2000, Justin had just finished a morning interview on New York based radio station Z-100 where he was served a French toast breakfast. According to Ew.com, the morning show host then listed the remaining slices on eBay where they sold at auction for a whopping $1,025. The winner was a 19 year old student who claims she would "probably freeze-dry it, then seal it…then put it on my dresser". We hate to burst her bubble, but I got French toasts this morning at Denny's for $7.
Jerry Lee Lewis's Ointment
Photo: Julien's Auctions
Typically people don't want the possession of their own ointment to be public knowledge, let alone someone else's! But, what if that some else is "the killer" himself? The auction containing a tube of nasal ointment and two empty prescription pill bottles belonging to the wild child himself ended at $384. A substantial amount of money for something that I'm sure we could categorize as medical waste of you ask me. Even more intreating, the items were put up for auction by Lewis's Ex-wife.
William Shatner's Kidney Stone

The spoken word artist is no stranger to the occasional online auction, His Star Trek costumes reaching over $100,000 at times. However, in 2006 Shatner himself took to Julien's Auctions to list his "sizable" kidney stone in an effort to raise money for Habitat for Humanity. Offering a substantial $25,000, the auction was won by GoldenPalace.com, an online casino. Additionally, the casino initially offered $15,000 which Shatner turned down! Clearly William knows exactly what "a piece of him" is worth!
Britney Spears's Pregnancy Test

There's obsessive and then there's down right creepy. While none of these items have been particularly "normal" to want in your collection, we can't help but think this the next level. Fortunately for our sanity, the piss stick was taken by GoldenPalace.com in 2005 to add to their ever-growing collection of "oddities". That being said the online casino rolled out an impressive $5,001 for charity on this one. Surprisingly snagging the item a lot cheaper than a piece of Britney's used gum that went for $14,000 and didn't even include a COA.
Elvis's Backgammon Board
Next time you are convinced nobody plays Backgammon, just remember The King himself was an avid player who even took his travel board with him. That same travel board would find its way to auction in 2016 closing at $1,024. A few rounds of high stakes backgammon and the buyer will have his money back in no time!
Six Strands of Kurt Cobain's Hair
Photo: IconicAuctions.com
Capping off our list with the most recent addition to the auction block. Over the weekend of May 15th 2021, Six strands of Kurt Cobain's hair sold for $14,145. Notably, the hair in question was accompanied by an official COA as well as a photograph of the seller with the late Nirvana frontman during the haircut. Now don't get me wrong, I love Nirvana as much as the next guy, but I'm not going balls to the walls to showcase 6 strands of hair. In that vein, if you've got the money I've got a haircut coming up soon!
