Shultis' huge day not enough as Moorpark loses
SANTA ANA — The Moorpark College football team lost a game (again), but found cause for hope — as well as a record-setting passing attack.
Ian Shultis passed for 432 yards and five touchdowns — becoming the first Moorpark quarterback to surpass 400 yards in a game — and the Raiders kept slugging away during a wild final quarter, but the ultimate result was a 56 loss to Santa Ana that dropped Moorpark to 0-4.
Shultis finished 25 of 38 — also setting a single-game mark for completions — and threw for four of his touchdowns during the 50-point final quarter in which Moorpark outscored Santa Ana 27-23 in a frantic attempt to recover from final-period deficits of 44-15 and 51-22.
"We have a lot of talent," said Shultis, a freshman from Thousand Oaks, "and when the team comes together, and we execute and we know what we're doing, I think we're a hell of a football team. But you're not going to survive on just talent.
"And I'm going to tell you right now, the 432 is a lot of receivers making plays."
Leading in that regard were Justin Bradley, who had 12 catches (also a school record) for 201 yards, including a 17-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter to give Moorpark a short-lived lead, and Chris Gant, who caught nine passes for 190 yards, with scoring receptions of 4, 55 and 15 yards, all in the final period.
"We're stepping in the right direction," said Gant, who also threw a 37-yard pass for good measure, "but there's always things we can fix. (Ian) had a good game, very good game. Stepped it up for us when we needed him."
The Raiders' fight to the end — in the final seconds, they drove to the Santa Ana 15-yard line before Shultis was sacked and lost a fumble, allowing Santa Ana to finally run out the clock — answered Moorpark coach Jim Bittner's concerns about how his team would respond to its 70-17 loss to Fullerton a week earlier.
"We found a passing game," said Bittner. "The thing we're missing is a running attack. We've got to get something going with the run, and then we'll create some problems for some people. Because we have good receivers, and the quarterback did a nice job — I wasn't happy with the one interception he threw, but I'm not sure we should have been throwing a slant pass down there, either."
The fourth-quarter scoring onslaught began when Shultis, throwing out of his own end zone, was hit as he threw, with the ball intercepted by linebacker Billy Henley and returned 12 yards for a touchdown. That concluded a string of 27 unanswered points by Santa Ana, which wiped out a 9-7 Moorpark lead — the first advantage for the Raiders since late in their season-opening loss to L.A Pierce.
From that interception on, the points came fast and furious — and included one of college football's rarest plays, a defensive two-point conversion. After Shultis threw the first of his touchdown passes to Gant, the conversion kick by Zach Shultis was blocked by Santa Ana's Zachary Johnson — then scooped up and returned 97 yards by Aaron Martinez for the defensive 2-pointer.
"We did the best we could," said Bittner. "And we played the whole game. The last couple, I felt like they gave up at the end, but this one, they were believing they could win to the end, so that was good."
According to Moorpark's football Web site, the school's previous single-game passing mark was 338 yards by Farhaad Azimi against Hancock in 1999, and the previous team high for passing yardage was 366 against Ventura in 1991. The old completion mark was 23 by Pat O'Malley against Hancock in 1980, and the previous high for receptions was 11 by Dan Russell against Hancock in 1984.
"I think if we'd come out and played in the first half the way we did in the second half, we would have been a lot better off," said Ian Shultis.
" We just need to grow as a team and learn who's going to make plays and who wants it the most."
Santa Ana's well-distributed offense included 205 passing yards from Jordan Thomas (16 of 27 with two touchdowns) and the work of four rushers: Jaron Hytche (10 carries, 75 yards), Eric Pesante (13 carries, 65 yards, two TDs), Wesley Fletcher (six carries, 62 yards) and Rap Dantic (three carries, 52 yards, one TD).

With all due respect youSubmitted by HAHAhahaHAHA (not verified) on Mon, 10/10/2011 - 8:09am.
With all due respect you must be completely mad! It is not "integrity" to keep paying a 40% underwater mortgage, it is a TERRIBLE business decision. It is a total joke on working folks that "integrity" has anything what-so-ever to due with your debts. Corporations and the rich default, go bankrupt, and walk away everyday. I used to play poker with rich guys every week, and they would laugh about going bankrupt 3 or 4 times, and they couldn't wait to do it again (and from what here hear, have!!!). I feel bad for you if you are really so deluded as to believe such blatant propaganda! »

Bump! Silence is only worsening it!
Razor wiind
Man, the background of League of Legends is SO interesting, but it's like a brute diamond - you gotta sculpt it. RIOT would make so much money if some romances were released! Didn't they get it? If they DO get it, why don't we get updated? Is it like a surprise or something? e.e _________ EDIT: Fanfics are great but we're wanting some official work! It's like RIOT is throwing all the lore work on the RP & fics shoulders.
Best Vayne MTL
Fanfics can be great but a lot of them make me facepalm. We need official lore! BUMPING FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
Perhaps we can help Riot? If their lore department is understaffed/lacking in resources, perhaps we, the summoners, could write lore for them. For free. And with strict quality control- no Ezrael meets Lulu in a leafy glade stuff.
I imagine if RIOT allowed for people to write the lore there would be strict rules to adhere to which would lead to most of the work being turned away as it wouldn't fit with the characters they created. That being said I would gladly write lore for RIOT without pay as long as I could put it on a resume. With games like Journey and The Walking Dead game winning game of the year awards every chance they get developers have to see that strong stories can drive games, not just action. League has the possibility to have great lore and stories unfolding all the time, RIOT just has to give it a chance. I think something like the Demacia v Noxus thing was cool, more event like that could be helpful for the lore as well.
Ace The Black
That being said, I myself wouldn't mind writing lore, even if I had to sit for a week to do it. Then again, it's doubtful I'd be handed a chance for that just because I said it, and even more doubtful that Riot's actually reading these posts.
MEGA bump! Please, RIOT. Feedback our worries!

Things deteriorated rapidly for the major-crimes unit boss. The investigators took an aggressive tack, Kahn recounts: "They said, 'We find there's enough here to charge you with simple battery.' Then they offered to withhold charges if he resigned." Kahn says he found the case laughable and looked forward to defending Band.
Kahn and Band then met with Rundle. "The state attorney had competing interests," Kahn says. "She cared deeply about a devoted employee. She also cared deeply how the office would appear as this was played out in the papers."
He adds: "She never asked him to stand and fight."
Rundle says Band's decision to resign was "solely between him and the special prosecutors." She says she did not encourage him to resign.
The timing couldn't have been worse. The Chavez trial was about to begin. If the Fort Myers prosecutors filed criminal charges, Band would automatically be suspended from the case.
The deal was struck in June: Band would handle the Chavez prosecution, then step down. On June 15 Rundle fired Molina-Abad and Navarro for conducting inappropriately intimate conversations with Ayala. She also fired Cabrera for forging signatures. The investigators strongly recommended reinstating Rossbach, who had been suspended.
"State Attorney Katherine Rundle rushed to judgment and made a hasty decision motivated by selfish and political reasons by terminating others and reinstating Sherry Rossbach," Navarro says. "What line did we cross that Sherry did not?"
Fallout continued. Orlando prosecutors took over the Blanco case and decided it had been compromised by Ayala's relationship with the secretaries. They offered Blanco a deal. In October she pleaded no contest to three murders in which Ayala implicated her.
Throughout the ordeal friends tried to convince Band not to quit. "A lot of people in the office are mad at Michael for resigning so readily," says one former prosecutor. "He kept saying, 'For the good of the office we must put this behind us. The work we do is too important.' Michael is one of those really good eggs that truly believes he is doing God's work."
Band defends his boss. "Kathy has been my friend for seventeen or eighteen years," he says. "When her father died, I was with her. When my father died, she was there with me. She is a good person." He claims he is not happy that people are using his case to criticize her. "You are going to knock this office and that is unfair. People need to see this office as more than Kathy, and more than myself."
Rundle returns the sentiment. "I'm really disappointed to see him leave. He was a great prosecutor," she says. "I respect Michael's decision."
In October a jury convicted Chavez and recommended the death penalty. That ended Band's career as a prosecutor. Now he's considering private practice.
Band's ordeal might continue. "This case is not over," Rosenblatt vows. He is preparing a sexual harassment civil suit against Band.

The problem of mold in 2012's US corn crop was once again highlighted following a dog food recall by grocery chain Hy-Vee, as the industry continues to look for ways to enhance petfood safety, according to a report.
Hy-Vee recently recalled five of its private-label dog food brands across eight US states due to elevated levels of aflatoxin from contaminated corn used to make the petfood.
"The toxin becomes more prevalent in a drought year," said Ruth Comer, Hy-Vee spokeswoman. "We had worse drought this past year than we've had in years, so it's not totally surprising that we have a bigger aflatoxin problem this year than in the past."
In fact, crop insurance data from the US Department of Agriculture show payouts for mycotoxins, aflatoxin being the most common, reached nearly US$75 million for 2012, triple levels of a year ago. Nearly 85 percent of the claims were filed in six USA states: Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi and Missouri.
Higher concentrations of aflatoxin were expected even before the new bushels were harvested in fall 2012. In September 2012, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Nebraska received Food and Drug Administration approval to increase the amount of aflatoxin-contaminated corn that could be blended for animal feed.
"There is certainly more awareness this year," said Pat Tovey, director of technology and regulatory compliance with the Pet Food Institute. "This is such a big issue in petfood."
The company builds on its boutique business with three new lines for pet stores, including baked dog food and treats
We asked Carol Jones-Adams, who founded and runs functional treat maker Overby Farm with her husband and business partner, Bob Adams, to tell us more about her company
The maker of raw and holistic diets seeks to help transform pets through its products, philosophy, education and research
Safe, nutritious, tasty petfood requires careful handling and processing of raw meat ingredients
What you need to keep your manufacturing line clean, safe and contaminant-free
The new US food safety legislation will also affect regulation of petfood
Processors should carefully develop, validate and implement an effective kill step to support production of pathogen-free petfoods
Measure now moves to House, where it is expected to pass

On the Road to Awana Kijal
Once you get off the East Coast Highway, take Highway 3 to Pelabuhan Kutantan and Kuala Terengganu. Drive past the Cherating beach area, and continue onwards past the outskirts of Cukai/Kemaman - all the while looking out for the Kuala Terengganu signs.
Immediately after the long row of lemang stalls, look out for the Awana Kijal Beach & Golf Resort signs.
Total travel time from KL=4.5 hours.
Remember to take a break- stop for some delicious keropok lekor at the stalls by the road-side.
RM1.00 should buy you about 5 pieces. Keropok Lekor is a type of deep-fried fish paste served with sweet chilli sauce. It is an east coast delicacy!- Business Travel
- Budget Travel

Getting to Kijal from KL-Part 1
From PJ, Damansara Utama, 1 Utama, drive past Ikea, and onto the LDP expressway that goes towards Kepong, Genting, Kuantan. From this toll booth, it is 255 km to Kuantan.
Follow the signs to Kuantan and you'll find yourself on the elevated highway thus by-passing Kepong town. At the end of this expressway, continue to follow the Kuantan and East Coast Highway signs. Takes about 10-12 minutes from the first toll gate to get to Batu Caves.
You are now getting onto the Karak Highway (Metramac Toll), which takes you to Genting, Bukit Tinggi and Janda Baik. Kampung Janda Baik is shown on the right of the picture.
This road is windy and has a reputation of being a killer stretch - please stick to the speed limit of 90 km/h to avoid any accidents.- Family Travel

Rest stop-Maran-Part III
The East Coast highway is still pretty new. Consequently, the toilets at the rest areas are new and relatively clean. Some of the rest stops have petrol stations (chiefly Petronas) and food as well. The one pictured here, Maran, has a surau and toilets and stalls that sell drinks, snacks and cut fruit.

Jay Adams
QB Coach: OTAs Good to Ryan, Jones
QB Coach: OTAs Good to Ryan, Jones
Jay Adams
Published June 13, 2012 at 4:03 PMAfter the Falcons' session of OTAs last week, wide receiver Julio Jones made a big deal out of the difference he's experienced this year with an offseason program as opposed to last year, when he was at the mercy of the lockout that all but wiped away offseason training programs for teams.
Jones marveled at how much more comfortable he's been able to get with quarterback Matt Ryan during OTAs, and it's showing on the field during practice sessions
On Wednesday, quarterbacks coach Glenn Thomas said he's noticed the same thing, which bodes well for duo heading into their second season together.
"I think that's huge," Thomas said. "I think there's a lot of noise out there (in the media) that doesn't really mean anything, but something like that, an aspect like that I think is critical — especially with a rookie coming in for his first year in the league with a new quarterback, all of those unknowns, a new system, steps, timing, all that. It's been huge for him, just within the last two or three weeks that we've been working together."

Glen Johnson is confident that Liverpool can cope without Luis Suarez and mount another Premier League title challenge.
The Reds finished just two points off the pace in 2013/14, with Manchester City holding their nerve to take the crown for the second time in three years.
Knocking them from their lofty perch is now the target for those at Anfield and beyond, with another intense battle expected as the tussle for top-flight supremacy returns.
Johnson believes Liverpool will be among the contenders, even without last season's 31-goal top scorer Suarez - with the Uruguayan striker having joined Barcelona in a £75million deal.
The England international said: \"Any team that loses a player like Luis is going to feel it. But we will carry on the way we do, creating chances.
\"I think we were the team who created the most chances last season, we've signed some good strikers and I'm sure once they get a chance they will take it.
\"It gets overlooked that we played the first six games of last season without Luis and made a fantastic start, so we can clearly win without Luis.\"
Liverpool got a first pre-season look at one of their potential title rivals in the final of the International Champions Cup, with a 3-1 defeat to Manchester United suggesting an Old Trafford outfit that badly underachieved last season will be back among the front-runners this time around.
Johnson added: \"I think they (United) will provide a stronger challenge this season.
\"Obviously they didn't have a great year last year when not much went their way. But I'm pretty sure (Louis) van Gaal will steady the ship, get what he wants out of his players and I'm sure they will be a lot tougher to beat this year.
\"It will probably be the usual five, then a surprise packet. The last three years we've had five or six clubs fighting for fourth place.\"
Liverpool's cause in 2013/14 was aided by the fact that they had no European distractions to contend with.
That will not be the case this term, with UEFA Champions League competition returning to Merseyside, but Johnson believes a positive start and greater strength in depth will hold Brendan Rodgers' side in good stead.
He said: \"If you want to win the league, the start of every season is important, whoever you play.
\"Whoever you play, you are fighting for three points. But we've got some big teams early on. Sometimes that can be a good thing, sometimes a bad thing.
\"We've been preparing regardless of who we are playing at the start of the season. Hopefully we will win those games, give us a good start and damage our rivals.
\"We were definitely fresher for not playing in Europe last season and with the size of the squad we had last season, we probably could not have coped with all the extra games.
\"It was probably an advantage last year. We're going to have a lot more games this season but hopefully we can keep everyone fit and keep fighting.\"

He went 2-3 with a save and a 2.47 ERA for the 2007 DSL Mets with 47 strikeouts in 43 2/3 IP and only 24 hits allowed but walked 27. In 2008, he was 2-0 with one run in 15 IP for the GCL Mets and 3-2 with a 3.49 ERA for the Brooklyn Cyclones as the second-youngest performer in the New York-Penn League. He was 4th in the NYPL with a .209 opponent average and led the Gulf Coast League with one shutout.
In 2009, Mejia was with the St. Lucie Mets (4-1, 1.97) and Binghamton Mets (0-5, 4.47, 47 K in 44 1/3 innings). When he debuted with Binghamton, he was the youngest pitcher active in AA. He missed over a month late in the year with a strain on one of his right fingers. He had been named to the World team for the 2009 Futures Game but the injury caused him to be removed from the roster in favor of Francisco Samuel. He was then 1-3 with a 12.56 ERA in the Arizona Fall League.
Despite having never won a game above the A level, Mejia made the 2010 Mets bullpen out of spring training, one of 3 MLB rookies in the bullpen. The other two, though, were older pitchers, veterans of Nippon Pro Baseball - Ryota Igarashi and Hisanori Takahashi. In his MLB debut, he relieved John Maine with a 4-1 deficit in the 6th inning to face the 7th, 8th and 9th hitters. He allowed a single to Cody Ross and a double to Gaby Sanchez. He fanned opposing hurler Ricky Nolasco but Chris Coghlan singled in Ross. Cameron Maybin hit into a force at home and Hanley Ramirez grounded out. In the 8th, he was relieved by Sean Green. Altogether, he was 0-4 with a 4.62 ERA in 33 games for the Mets, including 3 starts, covering 39 innings. He also spent time with 4 minor league teams, ranging from the GCL Mets to the AAA Buffalo Bisons. He was outstanding in AA and AAA, putting up a 1.32 ERA in 6 starts for the Binghamton Mets, and ginving up a single run in 8 innings in his one AAA start for Buffalo.
Mejia was sent to Buffalo to open the 2011 season, and in the early going was 1-2 with a 2.86 ERA in 5 starts, giving up only 16 hits in 28.1 innings. Just when it looked like he was headed back to New York in the near future, he was taken out of a game in the 4th inning complaining of pain and was soon after diagnosed with a complete tear of the medial collateral ligament in his right elbow. He met with Dr. James Andrews and opted to undergo Tommy John surgery. He made his return to the Mets on September 7, 2012, after going 4-4, 3.59 at three different minor league levels during the season. On September 24th, he earned his first career major league victory, 6-2 over the Pittsburgh Pirates, benefiting from a pair of homers by 1B Ike Davis. He was 1-2, 5.41 in 5 games but again struggled with injuries in 2013. He made two starts each with three different minor league teams that season, putting up an ERA of 2.55 in 24 2/3 innings. After his second start at Binghamton, he was called up to the Mets at the end of July and made 5 starts during which he pitched quite well. His ERA was 2.46 in 27 1/3 innings, with 27 Ks and only walks, although his record was only 1-2. He then started the 2014 season as a starter for the Mets. He won 3 of his first 4 outings, the other being a no-decision. His April 21st start against the St. Louis Cardinals was the best of his career thus far as he pitched 6 2/3 scoreless innings in a 2-0 win. Moved to the job of closer during the season, he became notorious for his animated celebrations in celebrating a successful assignment. After a particularly colorful celebration following his notching of his 26th save against the Washington Nationals on September 12th in which he pretended to cast a fishing hook towards home plate and reel in a big catch, Mets manager Terry Collins felt it necessary to publicly tell him to tone it down, as such exaggeration was foreign to the major league culture and risked inciting retaliation by opponents.

Why We Ignore Dating Red Flags
An important thing to pay attention to as well is whether a guy is able to take responsibility for any of the bad things that have happened to him in the past. Being able to accept responsibility is a sign of maturity, putting the blame on someone else all the time is child's play.
Here's the thing: everyone has issues. But there are some issues with which can be dealt, and some which are better left far away from you and your life.
It's ok to try to make things work- but it's not ok to try to make things work over and over and over again- because some things are just never going to change.
Don't go for the one you have to change; go for the guy you like just as he is.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
been on this for too long once again. the initials actually go inside a crest. but I'm having problems (more-so with the client)
so its O.D.F eh. they want script fonts or cursive something or other. I started with Legacy. - they said it wasn't ledgible. (Its an abbrev. inside a crest where the entire organization name is going to be printed underneath on their forms...for crying out loud.) but its not ledgible they say...and some member got a creative hat on and found Shelley on his PC, passed it around and now their set on it. I refused - especially with their layout of it (diagonal decending scale of character overlaped and everything - I refrained from a freak out where I would have screamed about ledgibility. t h e y are telling m e this is more ledgible!? but I see its that old problem. whatever is on the PC operating system is ledgible. So, in a panic moment realizing they were about to reck my crest, I said I'd try something more "Shelley" to go in the crest - but after my merge of Legacy and Shelley-esque features its all gone wrong.
can it be salvaged? do you see any potential? there's something about the finishes that's just not consistant. suggestions would be helpful. thanks
here's what they found and suggested I put in:
(so its what I have to prove I came close-ish too doing in terms of their kind of "ledgibility"
Without seeing the design in context it is hard to make a judgement.
Out of the three I like the one to the far right.
From what you have given thus far I would say that you may be trying to force the symmetry to much. Mainly I see a problem with the "F". It looks like an "S" to me. If indeed it is an "F" it looks too much like a lower case "f". It should be as important as the "O" and the "D".
The second one looks arabic, the dots are too much for me and the first, I think reaches (sorry) illegibility.
Clients can be (are) a bitch.
no way, #1 rocks. ledgibility be darned,
especially if the name will go right with
it. but i do agree that the f needs some
work. mainly to make it look like an
uppercase rather than lower.
if you're feeling daring, ask them why they
felt the need to hire you if they could do
it themselves in the first place. they just
might agree that they don't need you, but
you can always just bill them for the work
so far. and please give them a message from me:
any of the first samples are better than the
second one you posted. good luck.
Tanya: Just smile a lot, tell them they're genuises and their idea merely needs your professional polish, charge them more than you thought you would, and move on - hopefully the next one will be more worthy of an iota of creative effort.
After all that time I spent worrying about the typography for them...I put my foot down and threw them the files and said to be done with it.
check out what the had the nerve to suggest to me when one of their team had found photoshop. "the said they wanted more "dimension" and for it to look more "professional" I absolutely freaked when they suggested that it didn't a) look professional and b) thought this was:
here's the file I threw at them.
I tweaked the D, and finishes, and made the f look more capital. ODF stands for the Ottawa Dressage Festival (horses and owners in fancy dress doin fancy footwork stuff)
I think that is funny that people think that 3-D is more "professional" or finished". Every client should have access to Kai's Power Tools. Just Kidding. That would be lame.
Perhaps it is too late, or your just plain done with it, but I think that the black type on the red could be lacking contrast. I don't have my Pantone book here so I could be wrong. But I have used black and this color before.
I think knocking the "ODF" out, like the bottom one, might have a bit more punch. And I was wondering how it might look without the black frame. I guess what I am describing would be the bottom one- but red.
Anyway, guess we can't expect every client to see with the same set of eyes that we see with. Over all, designing and getting paid for it keeps me happy and I hope it does you. If you think about it, we get paid to draw. What more could you ask?
> Ottawa Dressage Festival
Now it all makes sense.
seanmicheal - good points. If I recover from bout of anger I'll try implementing your suggestions. There's a lot of mistakes in here still and while I had thought this was going to be a great opportunity where I could submit it here there and everywhere...(well really when don't I start thinking of all the greatness any project could be) its all been crushed & comprimised.
to your second point though - I could transform this into a moral, ethical discussion about design....but suffice to say that I don't think our job is so easy to say we get paid to draw anymore then an architect gets paid to play with toothpicks. but I get your drift and it made me happy for a few.
is that D so Disney or what. ahhhhh maybe I shouldn't look at it anymore
I'm surprised they didn't ask for a design referencing the letters in a dressage ring (if I had a project like this, the cliche would prove irresistible)... given the geometry of dressage tests and the use of the letters set around a ring as "guide posts," this could've been such fun.
Sorry about the difficult client...
We had thought about that Tracy - but in the end they realized they needed something that the general public could understand in order to get attendance. Plus something prestigious enough considering they are courting Mercedes for sponsorship.
I know all about that (especially the courting sponsors part; working on one of those right now, in fact)...
Practicality just takes all the fun out of it, eh?

Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe parlayed her chic fashion sense into her own Bravo reality show, "The Rachel Zoe Project," and it's clear she's also used it to outfit the Beverly Hills home too.
"I had fun with the accents, which is similar to my approach to getting dressed," she told InStyle magazine. "My basics are black, white, or neutral, and I'll wear a ton of jewelry or carry a brightly colored bag. So here I played with throws, pillows, rugs, and ceramics."
Rachel Zoe Previews Her New Collection
However, now that Zoe, 41, and her husband Rodger Berman have a two-year-old son, Skyler, and they've had to rethink their way of life.
"I used to think, 'Don't go in there with food!' Then I learned that whatever is most precious in your house instantly becomes the kid's favorite thing," she said, laughing. "He spit up on my pristine B&B couch at age 6 months. Now he uses it as a driveway for his cars."
"Now that I'm a parent, my home is more casual," she added. "I just want my child to run and play everywhere."
Rachel Zoe's Son Sparks Long Hair Debate
He does. As shown in the photo below, Zoe now has a canvas teepee up for her little one in the living room, which she and Berman, the CEO of her company, refer to as "the White Room." "Dark wooden floors and plush rugs are the key to making it feel warm and inviting," she explained.
Another trick? Natural light.
"My home has to feel airy and bright," she said. "I don't switch on lamps until it is literally black outside. Rodger calls me a cavewoman!"
Of course, one of the rooms over which Zoe has total control is her closet, for which Zoe said "visibility is key, with compartments and boxes so that everything is order."
And though there's tons of (neatly organized) Chanel, she admitted she does play favorites with her clothes.
"I'm most proud of my jacket collection," she said. "Living in L.A. is hard for me—it's too hot to wear them!"

> Make Bicycle/Pedestrian Improvements in your Community
> Make your Community More Walkable/Bikeable
Create a Bike & Walk Friendly CommunityTo improve the overall environment for walking and bicycling, the stage must be set for good things to happen. Generally, this means that policy and plans must be made and in place to provide proof of a community's commitment to making bicycle and pedestrian improvements. While not a requirement for making improvements, plans and policies that support bicycling and walking as part of the overall transportation network are beneficial when applying for funding at the state and federal levels. Not only that, but as city officials, employees, and residents change, plans and policies endure so long as they are supported and can inform and guide decision-makers of the priorities of the community. In order to begin this process, it may be helpful to start a bicycle/pedestrian planning committee. Call your local municipality and ask if any committee currently exists to do bicycle and pedestrian planning. If not, ask your council, selectmen, or planning board to begin such a group. This group can examine the local street and road system to determine the suitability of the existing system to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians and the potential for establishing bicycle/pedestrian facilities. Here are some of the planning efforts and policies that your committee may develop:
Create a Bicycle-Pedestrian PlanMany communities have benefited from creating a town-wide pedestrian and bicycling plan. Such plans detail desired routes, phases of implementation and an approach to financing bicycle and pedestrian improvements. Plans are created by city employees, sometimes with the help of consultants, and incorporate input from community members. The development of bicycle and pedestrian plans could be the result of an expressed desire by community members. Comprehensive PlanComprehensive plans are intended to incorporate all aspects of planning, transportation, economic development, environment, housing, public participation, etc., and provide a roadmap or guidance on how to reach the communities goals in each area. To include mention of the importance of bicycling and walking in all or some of the various sections of a comprehensive plan will help to ensure that the needs of walkers and bicyclists are considered as projects of all types move forward. The goal of the Maine State Planning Office, MaineDOT and the Sensible Transportation Planning Act (STPA) is to work with communities to improve transportation planning by encouraging interconnected streets and sidewalks in growth areas. This reduces development pressures on the state roadway system, which is designed for mobility, and improves quality of life. If communities grow outward on the transportation system, the result is congestion and loss of the vibrant community villages that we all enjoy. Visit the SHPO for more information on developing a comprehensive plan. Transportation Section of Community Comprehensive PlanThe transportation section of a community's comprehensive plan is where the goals and objectives of a community's transportation network are detailed. Bicycle and pedestrian needs are mentioned throughout many comprehensive plans, but are addressed mostly in the transportation section. A bike and pedestrian section should include an inventory and evaluation of deficiencies as well as strategies to address identified deficiencies. Timeframes and potential funding sources should also be included. Create/Improve OrdinancesOrdinances are local laws that pertain to everything from signs to setbacks. Ordinances that help improve the pedestrian environment require pedestrian facilities and compact growth areas, which encourage walkability/bikeability. Examples of types of ordinances that can potentially benefit bicyclists and pedestrians include:
If a community develops a good transportation plan, and implements ordinances that support the plan, it will have a better chance of receiving state and federal funding assistance for transportation improvements, including sidewalks and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. In addition to an improved transportation system, benefits of good planning can be seen in improvements in the economy, social atmosphere, tourism, open space preservation, and quality of life. It is also important to note that for people who may not have access to cars, including the young, elderly, disabled, and economically disadvantaged, walking and transit are the only choices for mobility. |
