My name is Meg Vazquez and I'm a Junior at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). My concentrations are Illustration and Graphic Design along with an emphasis on printmaking. I want to use this Tumblr as a window into my mind, a way to share thoughts and ideas that I have along with things that I see that I really love. I hope you and enjoy :) and tell your friends!
Ichthyophobia-The fear of fish
*Created in 9/2010 for Illustration Concepts I, design a set of 8 stamps with the theme of phobias
Finished product of my piece for the Community Law Center.
Too bad it cost about a MILLION dollars to print (in real life only 20 but still… that's grocery money).
iPhone quality :-/
This is my first prototype for the laptop sleeves I'll be selling at Art Market (horrible quality again, I need to charge my Nikon for once…)
Laptop sleeves (fitting either 13" or 15" laptops) embroidered with band inspired designs [in this case, of Montreal]
*I'm planning on doing designs inspired by: Justice, M.I.A., Ratatat, Fleet Foxes, the Black Keys, Discovery, Arcade Fire, Yacht, and Passion Pit
Follow up
Sketchbook Wednesday!
Doodlez and watercolor.
My current Illustration Concepts project was to come up with a design for an issue of the Urbanite magazine. The theme was innovation and that was pretty much our only guideline. My idea was to take the common business man (of the…future!) and innovate a way for him to travel faster while multi-tasking. Here's the process, I'm sure I'll end up tweaking it but I'm pretty happy with it right now.
It's been forever!!!
Work in progress for the poster I'm working on for a final.
Film- The Cruise
Finished! One final down, five to go…
Illustration II
"Well THAT'S not what I expected…"
For Illustration II we were given the prompt listed above and had to come up with a solution using only pen and ink (cross hatching) after that we had to go back to the drawing board and render using only solid shapes. I illustrated a priest with no pants on (and a seemingly seductive smile?). I really like my cross hatching piece but the relief copy just feels lacking.

So was it worth it? Well of course not. It turns out it was just advertising. There was no higher calling. No ultimate prize. Just a lot of faded, yellowing newsprint, and old video cassettes in an obsolete format I can't even play any more even if I was interested. Oh yes, and a lot of framed certificates and little gold statuettes. A shit-load of empty Prozac boxes, wine bottles, a lot of grey hair and a tumor of indeterminate dimensions.

Our European Tour staff is in Shanghai, China this week for the BMW Asian Open. However, a lot of the talk early in the week was about the wild rain players endured during the final round last week in Beijing. A lot of players were singing the praises of their FootJoys...
Markus Brier commented that his pair of ReelFit (right, top) kept him completely dry and their lightness helped him through a very long Sunday.
Louis Oosthuizen heard enough comments about the new DryJoys last weekend that he has ordered two pairs to try in the coming weeks.
Graeme McDowell said that his ProDry Golf Socks came through a tough test in Beijing with flying colours. He said the benefits from the cushioning of a brand new pair were terrific in the poor weather conditions of last weekend.
Looking forward to this week, here are a few other items that were discussed...
Martin Kaymer returned to action on the PGA European Tour wearing a sporty pair of all-white Classics Dry Premiere (right, bottom). After a discussion with him, we have decided he should try a narrower fit so he can benefit from greater support and stability... we will get something to him to try as quickly as possible.
Michael Lorenzo-Vera asked about buying a pair of Exotics. His countrymen who have bought recently are so happy with theirs that he feels he can't miss out!!
Our Tour reps are onsite at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship this week and sent some photos from inside the locker room on Tuesday. The locker rooms can be busy, especially early in the week, as players arrive and get settled for what they hope is a long (successful) week.
We also have some nice photos from our Tour staff on the Nationwide Tour. The crew is in Richmond, Virginia this week for the Henrico County Open.
Check out the slideshow to see what was going on at both events...

Any guesses who might be wearing these gator Exotics this week?
We'll be blogging next week from the Wachovia Championship and want you to help us interview the Tour players. So click on "Add a Comment" and submit a question you would like to ask a Tour player - either related to their shoes, gloves or outerwear or just something in general, such as how they decide what to wear each week or which golf course or baseball team is their favorite. We'll pose your questions to our FootJoy players in Charlotte and post their responses upon our return.

We spoke with Skip Haugen this week, one of the FootJoy representatives on the PGA Tour, and he had some interesting feedback regarding the MyJoys with the new camo leather pattern. Shipped to a handful of players the week before the Masters, Skip said the reaction has been great from players and fans. Boo told Skip his MyJoys "caused quite a stir in Augusta, both inside and outside the ropes." Davis Love also raised some eyebrows when he wore them during the Pro-Am this week. He told Skip "I could have sold about a dozen pair of these MyJoys during the Pro-Am...everyone loved them!"
In addition to Boo and Davis, you can also keep an eye on these players who also requested the new camo leather pattern -David Toms, John Riegger and Brett Wetterich, who also wore them last week in Augusta.

These custom, power towing mirrors replace the driver's-side and passenger's-side mirrors on your Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup and extend up to 4-1/4" to improve your line of sight. Heated mirror glass melts away ice. No-drill installation.
Note: You cannot upgrade to a power mirror with heated face if your OEM mirror is not already equipped with those functions.
The included HotSpot mirrors are designed to be placed anywhere on the Magna extendable towing mirrors. Typically, a blind spot mirror is installed on the bottom outside corner of a side-view mirror.
To determine the best placement of each HotSpot mirror, start by using a piece of folded tape to stick the HotSpot to the towing mirror in the location you think you would like the HotSpot to be. Once you tape the HotSpot in place, sit in your truck and look through the HotSpot mirror. If the HotSpot is not in the best place for you, keep adjusting the location of the mirror until it suits your needs. Once the mirror is in the best location, remove the folded tape and use the adhesive backing on the HotSpot to permanently attach it to the towing mirror.

Review from a similar CIPA Extendable Heated Towing Mirror
I've had these extendable mirrors on my 2001 Yukon XL for 10 years. They make towing and backing our 34 foot travel trailer a breeze. Attaching with double sided tape the convex spotting mirror is a must though, so you can eliminate blind spots. The power and heat features still work just like on the stock OEM mirrors. The only problem is that I busted the drivers side mirror and unfortunately you can't buy just 1 mirror to replace it, you have to buy a pair of both the driver and passenger side mirrors. 7430

Performance Studies
Performance Studies considers the whole extended field of aesthetic, social and everyday performances across a range of cultural and historical contexts: from practices that we might readily recognise as theatre, dance, popular music, hybrid and/or contemporary performance through to the performative dimensions of rituals, festivals, sport, legal processes, protest actions and other kinds of activity.
This is a highly interdisciplinary program, drawing on anthropology, history, dance and movement studies among other influences. In various ways, all our units of study seek to explain the phenomenon of performance as a complex, collaborative endeavour, involving performers and audiences alike in the production of meaning, feelings, a view of the world as it is and as it might otherwise be.
The honours year
The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) year provides students who have qualified for, or been awarded, an undergraduate pass degree in the arts or humanities the opportunity to extend their potential in research. Students may continue to work in the area of their undergraduate study or undertake research in a different area.
The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) focuses on establishing your individual research practise, further equipping you for employment or entry into the Master of Arts or Doctor of Philosophy programs.
Workload and assessment
A Performance Studies Honours candidate will complete 2 x 5000 word essays (one for each of the coursework seminars); a written casebook on fieldwork experience (approximately 12,000-15,000 words); and a dissertation/thesis (approximately 12,000-15,000 words).

Updating OSHA Standards Based on Consensus Standards on Head Protection
OSHA has issued a direct final rule to revise the personal protective equipment (PPE) sections of its general industry, shipyard employment, longshoring, and marine terminals standards on requirements for head protection. OSHA is updating the references in its standards to recognize the 2009 edition of the American National Standard for Industrial Head Protection and is deleting the 1986 edition of that national consensus standard because it is out of date. OSHA also is including the construction industry in this rulemaking to ensure consistency among the Agency's standards. The direct final rule will become effective on September 20, 2012 unless OSHA receives a significant adverse comment by July 23, 2012. If OSHA receives a significant adverse comment, it will publish a timely withdrawal of the rule in the Federal Register. Comments are due July 23, 2012. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-06-22/html/2012-15030.htm

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) -- The White House says it believes Israel "has the right to defend itself" against attack and that the Israelis will make their own decisions about their "military tactics and operations."
A top aide to President Barack Obama tells reporters traveling with the president to Asia on Air Force One that the U.S. and Israel both want an end to the rocket fire that's coming from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.
Deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes says Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agree that "de-escalation is preferred," provided that Hamas stops firing into Israel.
Obama has spoken with the leaders of Egypt and Turkey, too.
Rhodes says they "have the ability to play a constructive role in engaging Hamas" and encouraging a de-escalation of the attacks.
Israel broadens air assault on rocket operations in Gaza; shoots down rocket aimed at Tel Aviv
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) -- Israel claims to be inflicting heavy damage on Gaza's Hamas rulers, but so far that's failed to slow the rocket fire coming from the Palestinian territory.
The Israeli military says 160 rockets were launched into Israel on Saturday, raising the total number to roughly 500 since this week's fighting began. Two of the rockets fired Saturday were aimed at Tel Aviv. Residents of Israel's the commercial and cultural center cheered, though, as one of its "Iron Dome" defense batteries shot down one rocket.
In return, Israel carried out about 300 airstrikes in Gaza, hitting the prime minister's headquarters and a police compound as well as a network of smuggling tunnels.
A health official in Gaza says Israeli strikes today have killed 12 people, including eight militants, and wounded dozens more. In all, medical officials say 46 Palestinians, including 15 civilians, have been killed and more than 400 civilians wounded. Three Israeli civilians have been killed and more than 50 wounded since the Israel began its military operation Wednesday with the assassination of the ruling Hamas militant group's military chief after days of heavy rocket fire from Gaza.

Gene Discoveries Driving New Treatments for Kidney Cancer
It was 12 years ago that Drs. Marston Linehan, Berton Zbar, and colleagues from NCI's Center for Cancer Research (CCR) and elsewhere published a wonderful discovery. For many years they had studied families with Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome, a rare, hereditary disease associated with benign tumors in multiple organs, but also with a form of the most common type of kidney cancer: clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The work paid off. They had linked VHL to a single gene on chromosome 3 - the first gene found to cause kidney cancer. Research done since that time has shown that 60 to 80 percent of patients with nonhereditary, or sporadic, RCC have a VHL mutation.
Drs. Linehan, Zbar, and their NCI colleagues have led the search for additional genes associated with other forms of kidney cancer, an effort that has taken on increasing importance "because of the steady, relentless increase in its incidence since the early 1970s," Dr. Linehan says.
More than 36,000 patients are now diagnosed with kidney cancer every year. Although patients diagnosed with early stage disease have a 95 percent 10-year survival, in advanced disease, the odds of surviving for 2 years are less than 1 in 5. The current treatments for advanced disease are interferon α and interleukin 2 (IL-2). Although IL-2-based therapy can result in complete responses and may be effective in up to 20 percent of patients, it takes specialized expertise to administer and can be accompanied by serious side effects.
Since the VHL gene discovery, the researchers have discovered two other kidney cancer genes (see table), all via studies of families with hereditary forms of kidney cancer conducted at the NIH Clinical Center.
Of these genes, VHL has been the most intensively studied. In particular, researchers have been able to map some of the intracellular signaling pathways affected by this gene. Part of VHL's function is to help suppress tumor growth. But when a mutation arises in VHL that either silences it or greatly decreases its activity, it can have a serious domino effect, explains Dr. William G. Kaelin, a leading expert on the molecular biology of kidney cancer at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. First, there is an overproduction of a transcription factor called HIF. This, in turn, spurs the production of growth factors such as VEGF and PDGF, both of which fuel cancer cell growth.
So the discovery of these genes, says Dr. Ronald M. Bukowski, director of the Experimental Therapeutics Program at the Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Center, has been significant because it has allowed kidney cancer researchers to more rationally investigate agents "that might affect the pathways these genes modulate."
Over the last few years, in fact, a number of early-phase clinical trials testing a variety of targeted agents against advanced kidney cancer have generated much excitement. Earlier this month at the ASCO annual meeting, for example, researchers from the University of California, San Francisco reported on the results of a 52-patient, phase II trial testing AG-013736, an experimental agent that targets VEGF and PDGF. At 1-year follow-up, the drug prevented disease progression in three-quarters of the patients.
Hopeful results also have been reported with the experimental agents SU011248 and sorafenib, as well as with targeted drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of other cancers such as bevacizumab (Avastin), which targets VEGF, and erlotinib (Tarceva), which targets EGFR, also in the VHL pathway.
These findings have significantly changed the perception of kidney cancer, says Dr. Kaelin. "Kidney cancer was one of those solid tumors that medical oncologists always thought were pretty intractable in terms of chemotherapy," he notes. "So it's ironic that…there is now a lot of excitement about using targeted agents against it."
Dr. Bukowski argues that more than just the perception of this disease has changed. The findings from these trials are demonstrating "a changed paradigm for the treatment of [advanced kidney cancer]," he says. "Whenever you change how you approach the treatment of a disease, that's big news. That's clearly something that's happening with this illness."
Dr. Linehan's laboratory recently launched a phase II clinical trial of an antibiotic derivative called 17AAG for the treatment of kidney tumors in patients with VHL disease. Dr. Len Neckers, a principal investigator in the Urologic Oncology Branch, worked with NCI's Developmental Therapeutics Program and Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program to translate 17AAG to the clinic. This agent blocks a so-called molecular chaperone that protects HIF - and other critical signaling proteins - from damage when tissues are under the stress of low oxygen. In laboratory and animal models, 17AAG has shown impressive antitumor activity.
Over the more than 2 decades of conducting this research, Dr. Linehan recounts, the progress has been slow but steady.
"You can cure tumors in animals, you can cure them in the lab," he says. "We just have to go one step at a time. We're in this for the long haul, and I have hope that we'll get there."

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- Kalamazoo City Commissioners approved a $40-thousand dollar loan from their revolving loan fund for the Sarkozy Bakery Project.
They also gave a new ordinance its first reading. It would make it an illegal act to enter someone else's vehicle without their permission.
It's currently a crime only if you steal something while you are inside that car. This ordinance would make it a crime to simply enter that car. It will be back in two weeks for final adoption.

The City of Jonesboro recently approved a revised ordinance that will fine parents whose children are on the streets past 11:00 PM. The revisions are in response to multiple teen incidents at The Party Hall, the most recent being where a 16-year old was arrested after elbowing a police officer.
According to the News-Daily, "Jonesboro police will be tasked, under the ordinance, with picking up any children found violating the curfew, and taking them to the Jonesboro police headquarters. The parents of the youths will then be called . . . and they will have to come pick up their children. Upon picking up their children, the parents will be given a citation which will require them to appear in court and pay a fine."
I think we all know at least one parent who cannot control their child(ren) no matter what they do or how hard they try. This ordinance is going to be a rude (financial) awakening for those parents, and with summer a few months away, the city of Jonesboro could potentially make a ton of money.
The dollar amount of the fine has not yet been set, and that could be the determining factor in whether this ordiance works, especially for those parents whose child(dren) violate the ordinance more than once.
Do you think this revised ordinance will help to make parents more responsible for their children?
According to the Clayton County Police Department, the county's teen curfew is still in effect as follows: children under 17 must be off the street from 11pm-6am Sunday-Thursday; and 12am-6am Friday-Saturday.

The Parents of the child might be the only one to pay the price. The 11:00 pm curfew is still too late for kids top be on the streets. My wife and I have always had the firm belief that our children should not be playing after dark; Especially on the streets !!!
….A 9;00 pm curfew would discourage many unruly households from locating into an area, if the law was strictly enforced.

I agree with Brick House in FP. The curfew at 11pm is still too late, 9pm would be more realistic with the goal it seems Clayton County is trying to achieve. I, for one, am sick and tired of rude, disrespectful, ignorant children roaming my neighborhood. They walk around using profanity, fighting, pants hanging down (young men have no sense of self respect anymore), wearing long, dirty braids–and the young ladies seem to be in a contest of some sort with these type of boys because their self worth is seriously in need of rehabilitation! Once you get a glimpse of their "so-called" parent(s), it becomes extremely obvious that the child(ren) are getting this type of behavior directly from home. It is true that there are a few good parents with awful children, and in this case, if this curfew (or any other punishment) cannot curb this type of child from getting into trouble, then the courts should consider making the child truly accountable for his/her actions by sending them to military school and discontinue punishing that parent. But it is very important to note that that would be a rare situation—most parents who are law abiding, hard working, educated, church affiliated, and productive citizens often have children who exhibit the same characteristics. Honestly, it seems like Clayton County was the only area accepting housing vouchers when all of the public housing in Atlanta was demolished. My subdivision has DRASTICALLY changed within the last 2 years and maybe this will make it a little better. To the officiers of Clayton County—please enforce this ordinance so the REAL citizens of this county can rest a little better at night!!!

Let this be a reminder, for those that don't keep up with the News of Clayton County, Most crimes happens under the covers of darkness and Night Fall provides opportunities for crimes to be committed on law abiding innocent victims.

This will be just another finacial assualt on parents who can least afford the penalty. I surmise, the ordinance will be enforced along racial lines like everything else in clayton county. Poor parents will now have to pay up. Judges will "refer" more of our young men to the private probation companies that contribute thousands of dollars to the judges re-election campaigns. America is the land of the free! This means the freedom to come and go as you want. Clayton County is the armpit of the universe. I find it so interesting that people on this blog rant and rave about section 8 residents….the flip side is that the homeowners (majority white) put their homes on the section 8 program for the residents. Get the three stooges of the BOC and watch how fast the county will improve.

Another question that we might might be asking ourselves is, What are the curfew laws for minors in Georgia?
And; What Is the Punishment for a Curfew Violation in Georgia?
However; Each County and Each it's Municipalities has their own individual ordinances,their own form of penalties and fines.
In Forest Park, We have a curfew for minors of 10:00 pm : Sunday thru Thursday and Friday & Saturday from 11:00 pm
…Jonesboro is not the only city that is having a curfew for minors.

I have a question: Is the primary purpose to make money for the city of Jonesboro? (I'm also thinking of the recently proposed ordinance to fine homeowners whose homes have been forclosed on for not registering that fact with the city)
If we want to make those parents (not always but often poor and overworked) pay $$$ who are having trouble controlling their teens, who were profiled to be Wallstreet's target group for subprime mortgages (of which Clayton County had not a few), aren't we missing some kind of practical point?
Maybe Jonesboro police could walk down the street to one of those mega churches that pay them for their services on Sunday, and ask someone to mentor these young people who are often missing structure – rather than punish financially strapped residents who aren't able to afford the basics as it is.

I have the same issue, as many others do, with teens roaming the streets and using profanity. Many have no fear and will attack adults, either verbally or physically. When they are confronted with adults who will not tolerate the behavior the typical response is, "You wanna deal with my momma"? I support the curfew and agree with others that the time needs to be pushed to 9:00 p.m. instead of 11 p.m. The police RARELY venture into my neck of the woods over here in Ellenwood so the message that has been sent is that these kids (and their parents) can virtually get away with just about anything. I have observed that the only way we can get CCPD to pay attention to us is when there is a shooting or a violent situation. Remember the dog that attacked the little girl last year? That occurred two houses from me…all the news crews were out here. Why? Face time on t.v. Our sheriff has commented more than once about "looking good on television". What is that? I fully support the city of Jonesboro but most of these "parents" won't be deterred from entering the county nor will the financial burden of a fine suddenly cause them to be responsible parents. It has become clear that many of us are at the mercy of these roaming gangs of thugs but I am not one to simply accept it. It does not take a village to raise a child. It takes parents who understand that they are raising the next generation and the responsibility lies at their feet for raising unproductive, criminal people. The fines are great for generating revenue but it will not cure the societal and cultural issues that exist. I say to the CCPD: be aggressive with enforcement, write as many citations as you can, and fine the hell out of as many as you can. Make it as uncomfortable as is possible to occupy Clayton County territory. For many, jail/prison is the only avenue available anyway. I know I must sound pessimistic and that I am "beating down" on these kids but live here, work here, own a business here, own a home here, and drive through the county and you will know I'm only speaking what is blatantly obvious. Residents who truly care should stand up and take this county back…through any means necessary. I am not confident in our law enforcement agencies in Clayton County to be effective anyway. The stakeholders, property owners, can certainly be effective.

I say fine, fine, fine and jail, jail, jail all the little and big thugs alike. If you make it inhospitable or too expensive for them, guess what? They will surely leave! It time to take no prisoners, send them a clear message, and take back the county! Why can't a majority minority area be clean, peaceful, and nice? It can if enough people care and stand up like the leaders of the 60's. Enough is enough!

I am sick and tired of everyone making excuses for these parents who has never instilled respect, courtesy, and a descent level of self respect when their children were young. These teens didn't get this way over night. What happened is that parents stopped being parents. If you have a teen who is out of control it is the parent responsibility to make sure they get the services they need. If you don't know where to go, why not just simply ask. They have no problem going to the welfare office to get WIC, Food Stamps, TANF, and a housing voucher. We will continue to have children behave like this if parents don't take the time to parent your child. If you took the time with one I bet you wouldn't keep having children without there being a two parent household. The bottom line is that we would not have these curfews or private ran jails and probation services if there wasn't the clientele to bring in the money. I don't understand why do parents support these teen clubs anyway. If you want to have a social event let's try school activities!

The city is probably hoping that the mere notion of a curfew, with the potential for police involvement, will keep decent kids off the street and out of trouble. There are a lot of sad and desparate stories in houses and apartments all across Clayton County–a lot of people who need help, but won't find any. But if you can influence a decent kid off the street, and avoid a senseless tragedy and a wasted life, that's something good, and it's probably worth the hassle.

Well i had an problem a year ago with a child stealing my son's bike. We located the child had a report made and guess what they told me. They call the DA to see if it is important enough to take them to jail. Which most of the time it is not. So they let them go to the parents. It has to be one of the 7 deadly sins before they go to jail. The parent was not fined we had to go to mediation and talk to them . They did not want it to go to court. So this young man had to write a essay called "My BAD" and write an apology letter to my son. This was never done and the court did not enforce it. I had to call to remind them. So to put the blameon the parents and make them pay is a great idea but it is only in theory. That is not how it works. The parents have nothing to do but worry or if they are parents that do not care they just leave and shrug it off. So until we actually punish the parents for what the kids are doing this will never end. The parents do not punish their kids.The parents are not feeling the pinch. This is a joke. THe cities have the curfews. So lets follow with the county.

At the end of the day, parents are accountable and responsbile for their children. My hat goes off to Jonesboro! I think this is a creative yet assertive way to keep our children and our streets safer!

@ Inglorious…I understand your perspective, but it does not cost a dime to parent and keep your child at home. Spoken as minority single mother. Good parenting is not necessarily about economics, it is about ethics and morals. I appreciate your concern, but as a community we have to get this together.

Jonesboro is only playing catch up with this long overdue ordinance and in my own opinion, I think that Jonesboro's New Ordinance is way too lax, considering the potential for more crime. My Son and his family own a home in Jonesboro and the house and cars have had the windows shot out on more than one occasion.
I have no praise for a city council and Mayor that ignores these kind of problems, for so long, without acting a lot sooner. If they really knew about their city, or cared enough, the curfew would be 9:00 pm or at least 10;00 pm.
March 23rd, 2011
2:53 pm
I can understand some split decisions on this matter. While some might believe it's a good idea, others might believe it's the beginning of a form of martial law……focused on a specific group of citizens. It will be interesting watching this play out. Will it change Jonesboro for the better? Is it something other areas of Clayton should consider? Keep in mind that it costs more to catch and incarcerate those violating the curfew than the fine would be for the parents. Catching them before they commit a crime or thinking about committing one costs the taxpayers.

Maybe instead of 9:00pm, 30 minutes after sundown(or one hour) would work out better? That might be a better option to cover summer, and winter months.

Where are the recreation centers in this county? Most of the children simply do not have a place to go anymore — making getting into trouble inevitable. They have nothing constructive to do with their free time and their parents aren't making any constructive plans for them, instead they are most likely relieved to have the kids out of their hair and freely allow these children to roam the streets and malls all day and most of the night — which then becomes a problem for the rest of us. We have some piss-poor, so-called leaders in office who'd rather fight over salaries, and whose turn it is to use the county's credit card (for their personal use, of course)than to govern over the cities, counties, and states — and its people — as they were elected to. We, as a people, have gotten really relaxed ourselves and ignoring what's really going on and that is why we are facing the challenges we have today. But it doesn't erase the fact that sorry parenting is the origin of it all. "JustTheFacts", I agree with your comment–economics is not what parenting is based on. It is about morals, ethics, values, self respect, etc., but when you have parents and even some of our leaders void of these traits, how do we expect these children to do any better than what they are doing? In my youth, you could pay any of us to walk the street cursing, fighting, drinking,smoking marijuana and cigarettes out in the open like these kids are today. It is sad. Just sad.

Nospin : "Maybe instead of 9:00pm, 30 minutes after sundown(or one hour) would work out better? That might be a better option to cover summer, and winter months"
"After Sundown" would mean that a lot School aged children would miss out on Sport Programs,After School Activities, Football Games, Basketball Games,, and Local Recreational Sports.
In the winter months, darkness might fall around 6:00 pm.
Let us be more Constitutional and Teach our children the values of earning their rights, to grow up as Adults, and to hurdle over the pitfalls of childhood.
I remain at 9:00 pm; Anything after that time, the child should be accompanied by a legal Guardian or a Parent.

I'm a middle aged woman that was born here, works here and has lived here for all my years. In answer to the question will this revised ordinance make parents more responsible for their kids? Absolutely not! But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try.
I have one child myself, middle school age, and I know where he is every moment of the day and night. But what seems to be the norm now is "consultative" parenting. Check in w/Mom & Pop via text & it's all good.
I can't count the number of co-workers I've heard talking excitedly about their teen getting their drivers license and how much freedom they'll (the parents) gain when little Johnny can drive himself to bible study, So many parents see the teen years as the "hands off" period that lets kids figure out who they are (all by themselves evidently).
I've heard just as many co-workers complain that they shouldn't be held responsible for their kids once they're in their teens b/c "they snuck out" or "he/she took my car keys without me knowing!". Jeez Louise people! If not the parents, then who?
I'm 100% behind this curfew revision and hope there will be concerted effort within Jonesboro to enforce it fairly and consistently. I don't need my son to like me as his "friend", so he'll think I'm the "cool mom", I need him to respect me as his mother. If he's caught out after curfew and I get that call from headquarters to pick him up, I'll take my ticket/fine/whatever in stride and ensure that the consequences roll down hill as they did when I was a teenager at Mundy's Mill.

Tired & Fed Up : "Where are the recreation centers in this county?"
Another question might be, Where is the involvement of the parents ?
Local Recreation Centers are supported by the parents and it takes enrollment fees to enter the children into sports programs. Time, Money, and Work is required to make the Recreation Centers a reality.
I was lured into The Recreational Youth Programs by my neighbors and it grew from there. My Family and I have been all over The Clayton County Youth Programs and Sons grew up to enter their children into these same programs. This is what brings a county together !!
I had several parents that wouldn't take their children to baseball practice and I had to use my own vehicle as a taxi to pick them up and drop them off. One of the good parents told me that some parent thought that I was being paid and the cost of the fee also covered the cost of transportation. The good parent set them straight and we seen much more of them, after that.
Recreation Centers ( Athletic Associations ) in the county, has a lot to offer and during the Tournaments or Traveling Teams, Families can become familiar with other parts of county and the people. My Sons played "Rec Ball" for Forest Park and Jonesboro, and today, They have friends stretching across five different counties.
Having a Family is a full time job, with no days off for good behavior."Rec Ball" was the best thing that ever happened to our family. Hey, We even went on Vacation with families that met from The Recreation Programs. It brings people together as long lasting friends. I can't say enough about my memories of our county and the good times we had together, but, it took family involvement to make it happen.

Simple answer to your question. "White Flight" Thats what caused it all.
March 23rd, 2011
10:40 pm
It's Done 101 – IMO
White Flight = ~20% of Whites are fearful or predjudiced against Blacks. When any AAs move in, they begin to move out. Over time Blacks now 20% of neighborhood (80/20 rule). As long as status quo is maintained, neighborhood is fine and everybody gets along. A few Asians and Hispanics also move in with no problems. The first AA families are at same class level so no issues arise, school test scores remain the same. Corruption checked somewhat by local community groups and/or good public services.
Blacks see other Blacks, see nice neighborhood, see many Whites, conclude its a 'safe' area and start to move in more (second wave). Outside of economic factors (foreclosures, etc) problems start as friends and relatives of AAs who are not social equals to either group start apppearing. These new AAs hang out, 'keep it real', chill, and unsupervised children begin to disturb the status quo with raucous behavior.
More AAs move in (third wave), trash begins to appear, cars of youth begin to be seen, a few petty break-ins by youth in this once crime free neighborhood contiues to threaten the status quo. Once over 35% AA, Whites abandon neighborhood and a mass exudus occurs. School test scores preciptiously start falling.
This fourth wave of AAs are renters or not at same class level of first 20% on AAs. First 20% of AAs see handwriting on wall and begin to move out too. Their peaceful, clean, and quiet neigborhood is no longer as such as too many of the lower class move in and alter the staus quo. Blacks now begin to be elected to local political office.
After a neighboord tilts (60%+ AA), crime increases, schools challenged by new students with social issues (free lunch, single mom HOH, etc), so property value drops or is red-lined. Foreclosures begin to appear as area goes dowm due to lower tax base. Retail stores begin to close, replaced by title, pawn, hiphop clothes and wig/wave supply stores. Section 8 proliferates. AAs win land-slide political victories, bring in bus service and other lower economic people services. Corrutption without maintaing local services increases.
Quality of life is down, services and schools are down, crime is up, negative media attention, and fighting over the crumbs begins… Now just wait 20+ years for the rainbow people and artists to move in and reverse the cycle

So White makes right? That's a ludicrous statement. It's more like Middle Class Flight, replaced by the Working & (and non working) Poor. Plus, most of the county's residents dwell in apartments (at least 80%), which has a severe impact on the creation of a solid tax base. Let's not oversimplify the current state of our county to a racialist "White is good/ Black is bad" conversation.

It did not help that past county commissions approved so much starter home construction across Clayton County. That's an anchor holding us down. Some neighborhoods have the opportunity to rise again because there were interesting fixer-upper homes with at least the potential of nearby amenities, that appeal to urban pioneers willing to invest sweat equity. Great swaths of Clayton County have nothing but tiny, boring ranch homes. You can't do anything with them except tear them down. Past county commissions have anchored Clayton County at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder. It would take tremendous vision and courage to change Clayton County's fate.

The curfew is a good idea, and I agree it should probably be 9PM for weeknights. I voted "for" fining the parents. But, I also realize the onus should be on the kids; make them responsible for their own actions.
Tired & Fed Up: you make some great points. Kids need more recreational areas…even if just a small area to play sports, etc…just a cleared off area or something…even make-shift…just somewhere to go play. Rec centers are fine, but they're too far away to walk for many kids.
Which brings up… Brick House,"…I had several parents that wouldn't take their children to baseball practice and I had to use my own vehicle as a taxi to pick them up and drop them off…" That's the point. Not everybody can drive their kids to a rec center or ball field. We need more "playing fields"…but they don't have to be as fancy or as "organized" as Rum Creek, etc.
Concerning curfews, I was gladdened to just now see also that Walking Small plans to run for sheriff again. That'll get the kids off the streets fer sure. (Actually, I'm shocked he would rear his ugly lil head again.)

I had to think real hard about commenting on this because i have be there with a teen, that I could not control, no matter what i did. Put special grates on the windows, slept at his door, and many other things. I learned, if he wants to get out, he is going to get out. I don't have a solution, but punishing the parents isn't it. The kids will intentially stay out, so the parents get in trouble. Find a way to punish them. Anything from scrubbing toilets, to lock up for the weekend. If you don't punish the offender, it is just a money making proposition for the city.
March 24th, 2011
1:05 pm
I want to add, that I do support the curfew. I just want people to understand that punishing the parents, is not going to help the situation, unless, as i read back through, your total intent is to run the whole family off.

2:11 pm
Jborodawg : "We need more "playing fields"…but they don't have to be as fancy or as "organized" as Rum Creek, etc."
I have a full understanding that children has to been occupied and I also under the problem with having "Practice Fields" for the Sport Teams to have their practice before game day approaches. If each age group has 12 teams and only one game field, where will the teams have Practice ?
Rum Creek is no exception to this and neither is the well established Recreation Field at Forest Park.
Many Practice fields can be located throughout the county at Elementary Schools, Churches, and Vacant Lots.
The problem that I have seen, during the past 20 years, is the rapid decline of participation and interests from our families. I know of some families that takes their grandchildren to Rum Creek, although they own homes in Henry County.
It was always up to the City, The Local Funded Athletic Associations, Te Board of Parents, The Youth Baseball Directors, and The Coaches to maintain the fields. The problem is no involvement by the parents anymore.
We have some very good Recreational Facilitates in our county, but, something has been lacking for awhile and its sad to see teams that has to play against other each, from week to week, for the lack of other teams to compete with.
How can we lodge complaints, when the families of Clayton County don't use the facilities that they have at their feet ?
I spent my off seasons recruiting and encouraging families to allow their children to participate in our local youth programs. The only thing that I ever ask of my neighbors, Try to make your own difference in our community; Then, maybe, we will have another chance to come together as a county again. To myself; This would be a good beginning to make our county whole and unified.

Parents arent the only ones influeencing Children these days, Celebrities, Tv shows other family members and friends. How can you Say that a cerfew shoulld be put in order when nothing is going to be done about it, children these days i agree they need to be punished, and parents need to control their kids but now-a-days how can you with all the laws against hitting your child, if you hit them them your a child buser if you yell at them your mentally abusing them, where is the line?

Nospin & Tell The Truth: I suspect you're both right. Middle-class flight has impact ClayCo negatively. It just so happens that the majority of the middle-class residents that left were white. I'd also argue that some of those that stayed have done no good either, black and white. The fact of the matter is if you have children and schools are important (this isn't always the case) and/or you'll looking for a good quality of life than you're gonna be better off elsewhere. Sadly, ClayCo doesn't have either!

The reason you go after the parents is because there are many, Notice I did not say all, But many parents who do not care where there kids are or what they are doing. Just as long as it does not affect their life or lifestyle. (Makes one wonder why they become parents in the first place.) The only way these parents will care what their child is doing is to impact the parents too. either by large fines or a few night s in Jail. If by the third offence they should be turned into child welfare for failure to control and provide for their children. Since children learn how to parent from the way they are raised. can you imagine a few years down the road when the children of those who are allowed to run wild and free with no supervision. What will their kids be like? I sometimes wonder if orphanages would be a better environment than an uncaring parent, who believe they should be their child's "friend " rather than the parent.. The child is not taught an form of responsibility or self worth by care for nothing parents.

Jborodawg :Which brings up… Brick House "That's the point. Not everybody can drive their kids to a rec center or ball field."
…I made a lot exceptions for parents, but when I see single working Moms carrying their child to practice and never fail to be on time, for every practice, I can't excuse a Father & Mother that had rather use their time for themselves alone. I didn't mind spending half of my own time for transporting my players, I couldn't grasp the fact that the parents was not involved with the growth of their children.
If anyone have ever been involved with your local community youth activities, you should already know what I'm referring to.
..Certain of Clayton County was always known for it's Youth Programs. I believe that it's time to think about taking the Youth off of streets in this county and place them in our many Youth Programs, with the full support of their Parents. Make this a County Ordinance !!

Tell The Truth
What in the world are you talking about? Its a fact. White people got scared, and moved out when African Americans started moving in. They left in droves as a matter of fact, and dumped their homes at cut rates. They were cowards, and yes some were racists. I personally witnessed the first black family to look at a home on my street in Forest Park(which was all white). Within seven days, almost the entire street put up Century 21 signs after seeing them. Then they started fleeing. That spread throughout the county leaving cheap living quarters, which were filled by poor, and working class blacks, and very few whites. With them went the tax base, the school system, businesses, etc.. It was the direct cause of Clayton Counties problems. Wannabe politicians with no qualifications moved in swiftly, and were voted in office by these new residents based solely on race. The results will last for decades.

Brick House @ 5:28…kudos to you and bless your heart for being part of the solution.
Might I also add that school grounds could/should indeed be excellent places for kids to play…say, pickup football or softball games, etc. However, Clayco has gotten away from neighborhood schools for the most part…and the schools are so far from neighborhoods that many (most?) kids have to be bussed or driven. I'd rather we had 100-student neighborhood elementary schools than the shiny, new, "modern" 500-student edifices we have now. Neighborhood schools generally entail more pride and more parental involvement…two keys to quality education; AND recreational opportunities.
March 25th, 2011

Roach…I agree totally. Hundreds of new subdivisions…are not "neighborhoods" and, yes, plenty of existing homes sit under-used or unused where a renewal of a perfectly good neighborhood could once again thrive and be "viable" as it were.

Middle class moving leaving, lack of a County development plan, unrestricted home building, questionable mortgage loan practices that allowed those who had no business owning a home to buy, school board issues, and mortgage crisis all led to where Clayton County is. The only way for Clayton County to get better is to find a way to bring back the type of families who left – stable, educated, two-parent middle class households. I don't see that happening in Clayton County for a long long time.

11th PlaceTopspin DesignIf you wanted an example of a utilitarian Audi, look no further than Stan Liu and his 2001 S4. Stan's car pulls triple duty, serving as an active competitor in SCCA Solo II, an instructor car during Audi Club events and as Stan's daily driver. Stan's company, Topspin Design, began by making parts for the golf industry but has recently focused its attention fabricating parts for the racing industry. A Topspin mini-cam was installed on the nose of Stan's S4 and provided an outstanding video of his car in action. The footage was both clear and very smooth, devoid of the jumpiness usually seen during in-car video. The Topspin car also included its proprietary, four-point racing harnesses and carbon-fiber shoulder harness bracket, nicely engineered parts that are easily removable during street use.
Although the setup of Stan's car netted him several wins during the Solo II championship, it did not lend itself well to our venue. The car was great fun on the road course with its tail-out handling bias, but it did not make for the quickest way around a track. Moreover, the tires were in terrible shape, which could also explain why Stan's huge Brembo F50 brakes did not work as well as expected. Stan's tire sponsor, Falken Tire, asked him to finish off an older set of its basic street tuner tires, rather than mounting new Azenis Sports, for this event. A simple tire change would have made a huge difference in scoring-this car had the horsepower to do better.
