Jonathan Hebert spoke about how Hillsides Peer Resource Center helped him come out of his shell and find a job and a career he loves during the Center's one-year anniversary celebration.
Pasadena, CA - Since opening its doors last year, Hillsides Peer Resource Center (PRC), a drop-in center in Pasadena for youth in need ages 16-25, has had more than 5,800 visits and served 463 youth. On June 26, three of these youth gave emotional testimonials during the Center's year anniversary celebration.
"The PRC accepted me for who I was and took me in for who I am. Here, I realize my worth, and I belong," said Destiny Nguyen, 19, one of the speakers. Through the PRC, she is now a translator for a legal firm and on her way to her dream job of becoming a translator at the United Nations.
Another speaker, 20-year-old Jonathan Hebert, spoke about how the PRC staff brought him out of his shell after an adolescence that included juvenile hall, group homes, and homelessness. Through the help of job development specialist Casswell Goodman, he found a job he loves working with homeless families and he now plans on a career helping children who are disadvantaged. "I owe my life to programs like this," he said, "and in the future, I want to work in one."
The PRC is part of Hillsides Youth Moving On (YMO) program, which offers youth formerly in foster care or probation affordable quality housing and numerous other support services to help them transition to successful adulthood.
The celebration drew a crowd of more than 125 youth, Hillsides supporters, staff, and community members. During the event, the PRC staff handed out several accomplishment awards to youth and honored those who had finished a demanding workforce development curriculum. The event also included lunch, music, games, and a short film on the PRC.
"This celebration was a testament to the resilience of our youth and to the enormous capacity of their hearts in allowing the YMO team to share in their journey to full adulthood," said Hillsides Division Director of Transition-Aged Youth Services Thomas Lee.
The PRC is located at 456 E. Orange Grove Blvd., Suite 140, in Pasadena. It serves as a one-stop shop of centralized support, offering youth access to career planning, professional development, health and wellness training, social skills training, money management, and college prep, among other services. Weekly workshops and classes are offered on subjects as diverse as cooking, healing through music, and spirituality. It is the only center like it within the immediate area, and serves primarily youth who were formerly in foster care.

Nowadays designers are going in for resort and pre-fall collections in ever increasing numbers. These smaller, capsule collections that fall in between the main two fashion weeks in the four capitals are crucial money spinners for designers in a precarious business. It's almost bizarre that the main collections sweep up 95% of the publicity, but it's the pre-collections that bring in the big cash.
Why? Well, in the words of Tibi designer Amy Smilovic, the approach to creating a resort collection is based on buyers' feedback and their preference for 'buy now, wear now' clothing. Therefore, the clothes, she said, are seasonless and can be worn year-round with the help of some layering. 'Its all about clean, easy pieces in special cuts,' said Smilovic. SIMPLES! We say; this Tibi resort collection is made up of flattering looking separates and a two tone jumpsuit in soft brights, that look tailored but not body hugging. Shades of Phoebe Philo for Celine, only more wearable for those of us who aren't rake-thin enough to get away with the original!
Let's have a look at the best of the rest . . .
Christian Dior
Dior has produced the first collection created for the French mega-brand without the influence of former creative director John Galliano, or for that matter, any creative director. In a somewhat radical direction, the brand is going for bold graphic motifs and modern colours, without a hint of the forties-movie-star glamour the brand more often embodies.
For Gucci's 90th anniversary year, creative director Frida Giannini may have sensed that all eyes would be on her collections and has pulled out a blinder. Not overtly '70's, as the brands DNA dictates, but a mix of serious, rather than girly glamour and intensely luxurious fabrics. While the designer has said it references past glories of the brand, we think it is quite forward looking and – absolutely perfectly wearable as it is, with no imagination required. The slim, tapered black trews with gold encrusted vest and white blazer is the perfect party outfit – the one that will make all the girls in dresses look frilly and overdone.
Has Erdem Moralioglu forfeited his right to the label "young" designer? what with all the heads of state and government he keeps dressing we think he probably has, and we mean that in a complimentary way – like not old fashioned, but established in the fashion firmament. We love the way he is keeping his structured, floral print dresses interesting by adopting this '50's silhouette of boxy jackets, fitted waists and Capri pants (one of his signatures already). Apparently his inspiration was 'the late actress Romy Schneider and her appearances in Luchino Visconti's films' We LOVE.
Missoni have kept the brilliantly eye-drawing Care Bear/My Little Pony colour palette of their A/W collection – mauves, pinks, lemons and turquoises and produced floaty, dreamy summer outfits with extremely Hoxton looking turbans and headdresses for a paradisiacal resort; which after all, means holiday - collection.
Rachel Zoe has managed to go more Gucci than Gucci did with her lush jewel colours and very slim '70's outline – very sophisticated we think.
Over at YSL, Stefano Pilati presented a large collection based on a couple of motifs – nautical with anchors and rope coils (even starfish!) galore, stripes, and poppy prints. He's gone crazy for prints, in fact, where the label more typically covers interesting features like structured sleeves or billowing bottom halves in block colour and matt black. This only goes to prove that for resort, even the most earnest of fashion designers can give in to the urge to have a bit of fun!

November 26, 2014
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - Puerto Rico Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla has approved a package of incentives aimed at bringing more cruise ship passengers to the U.S. island territory.
The incentives include 10 percent discount on goods and services purchased by cruise lines as well as a reduction on the per passenger fee for a portion of the arrivals to the island through 2017.
The package previously approved by the legislature also includes a subsidy for companies that use Puerto Rico as a home port for their ships.
The island has been upgrading its main port in San Juan in recent years to accommodate more and larger cruise ships. The city gets more than 1 million cruise passengers a year, but Garcia said in a written statement Wednesday that the government sees potential for growth.

John Westlake says:
At first glance, Honda's new £3688 CBR250RR is a lot of bike for its price. Which might sound a little odd from the standpoint of being 'just' a single-cylinder bike with power output capped to just 26bhp.
But a comparison with the competition speaks volumes: Kawasaki's Ninja 250R costs £861 more at £4549, and Hyosung's capable GT250R is £3799. And Yamaha's...

Seems to be quite a lot of interest in this bike from "older" riders. I've also been riding a while, 20 or so years and bikes like this are starting to appeal to me more. I'm tempted to go back to a bike I can ride on 3/4 or full throttle most of the time - I quite often have more fun riding courtesy bikes (eg. CB400 super fours, GS500s, CB500s etc) than I do riding the bike being serviced! Not that bothered by fuel consumption although I'm sure this bike will do over 70mpg without trying. Long service intervals, cheap insurance/tax and being a Honda, it should be fairly reliable. Looks great too. As for the price, I know it's not cheap compared with bikes a few years ago, but things have moved on with exchange rates etc.. In today's market it is a REAL steal, nearly a thousand less than the Kawasaki, the same as the dull/old fashioned YBR250 and about the same as many 125s.

Riding this 250 from Honda would be boring,tireing & tedious.93mph indicated means 88 in real terms,sitting up this feeble offering would be lucky to top 80 unless thrashed to within a 10mm nut of it's life.I grew up with proper stroker 250's in the late 70's,riding this thing would send me to sleep.

Now in its third season, this smorgasbord of all things death metal proudly bills itself as "the most extreme tour of the year." Hey, we ain't arguing. When you put together a lineup that includes Dying Fetus, Decrepit Birth, Winds of Plague, Cattle Decapitation, and bunch of other bands that sound like they were named by a hallucinating medical intern, it's sort of like drawing a line in the sand, you know? And who's gonna cross it? The Warped Tour? Pffft. You think those goody-goodies could ever muster the stones to book a band like Cephalic Carnage? No way. If you want positive energy and intelligible lyrics, go see Jimmy Eat World. If you want foaming rage and totally sick blast beats, followed by a sublime sense of doom and emptiness, you bust out the Summer Slaughter Tour. It's a simple matter of taste. This year, there are two headliners: Suffocation, a seminal death-metal outfit widely credited with inventing the genre's signature "death growl," and Necrophagist, a high-revving German foursome whose debut album was named Onset of Putrefaction. Whether you find that fact to be awesome or awesomely asinine, one thing's for sure: It's totally freaking extreme.

Framestore's VFX Supervisor on HP7 Inspires our Students
Last Wednesday, Escape Studios had the honour of having Christian Manz, VFX Supervisor at Framestore come into our studios and talk to our students about life in the industry. Christian discussed the bits about the job that are great (Like getting to see your name up on the big screen after arduous months of working on a project) and the bits which aren't quite so good (Like the long hours). It wasn't just our students who enjoyed it, we loved it too. Christian's thirteen year career has been an epic one and his latest contribution to the industry as VFX Supervisor on the latest HP7 is particularly impressive. We spoke to Christian about the highs and lows of his career so far, and what it feels like to have been part of one of the biggest films of our recent times.

CG Andrex Puppy!
So an Iconic mascot after 4 decades has finally become a CG character. Having done this myself with the first CG Tony the Tiger I have to wonder whether this will work. The British public being such a fickle bunch! CG Tony was to be a furry character but was squashed at the last moment by Kellogg's in the States as going to far away from the 2D character of Tony (shame he was so cool furry).

Last few places available for January 2011 Courses
As the end of 2010 approaches we're filling up fast for our next round of courses in January 2011. The last spot on our Compositing course has just gone, so the next seats available for that are now in April. We have also just filled our Character Animation course with Alex Williams so we now only have a few seats left on the two Visual Effects Production courses, taught by Mark Spevick and Dan Shutt.
To be academic or not, that is the question...
Here's a great piece of animation which illustrates something I care deeply about, the education system.
More VFX Wizardry from Framestore with Harry Potter
Here I am, sat in the airport with some time to kill – so I start reading the papers and the front pages are all covered with reviews of last night's premiere of Harry Potter (The Deathly Hallows Part 1) in London. That's lucky, because I really like Harry Potter and I am quite looking forward to seeing the film.
Pixar's RenderMan amazing 40% price reduction!
Yesterday, Pixar announced an unprecedented price drop in their flagship product RenderMan® Pro Server. The 40% reduction will allow studios and freelancers that were previously unable to buy into the technology, to get a slice of the Film / VFX industry standard renderer. With the global CG expansion, Pixar appreciate that the growth of renderfarms is real and happening now, this move allows existing customers to ramp up their rendering capabilities in a more cost effective manner whilst allowing smaller shops and freelancers access to the toolset.

Oil boomtown creates challenges
By Larry Dreiling
In 1951, Amerada Petroleum Corp. discovered oil in the Bakken formation of western and central North Dakota. The company—now known as Hess Corp.—and many other operators, have been exploring for oil and natural gas in the area ever since.
The U.S. Geological Survey indicates as much as 4.3 billion barrels of oil and natural gas lays inside the shale of the 24,000-square mile Bakken field, making North Dakota second only to Alaska with the largest proven reserves of oil and natural gas in the United States.
But these production firms couldn't get more than a trickle of oil from the dense, nonporous shale that lay two miles underground.
That all began to change as early as 1976, when the old U.S. Bureau of Mines began pilot testing hydraulic fracturing of shale. It wasn't until the late 1990s when fracking—as the technique became known—of shale, took off. The process—technically known as slickwater fracturing—was then tried in a formation similar to the Bakken near Fort Worth, Texas, known as the Barnett Shale.
The concept is complex: Drill down into the shale one mile and then make a horizontal turn and drill another mile through the gas-bearing rock—allowing a single well to reach more gas. Huge volumes of water (over 20 million gallons removed from Lake Sakakawea and hauled to wells daily) and chemicals are blasted down the well to crack open the rocks and free the oil and gas trapped inside.
In August 2003, production on the Bakken was 49,843 barrels. In August 2013, using slickwater fracturing, nearly 9,500 wells through all of North Dakota were pumping 26.261 million barrels, or a little over 847,000 barrels of oil and 1 million cubic feet of natural gas per day.
It's estimated another 9,000 wells are yet to be drilled. About 2,000 wells are now drilled each year, with anywhere from 15 to 25 years of top production in each well, although most wells can have a life of up to 45 years. The estimated 615,000 barrels of oil produced from the shale of each well is light sweet crude, the oil easiest to refine into gasoline.
"Drillers come in with segmented plugs," said Dale Patten, president of the McKenzie County Bank of Watford City, N.D., to the American Bankers Association's recent National Agricultural Bankers Conference, at Minneapolis, Minn. "That way, each segment is fracked through the entire formation. It's very efficient."
And profitable, too. While each well costs about $9 million to drill and complete, it's estimated the net profit from each well's lifespan will be $20 million, paying $4 million in taxes, $7 million in royalties, $2 million in wages and $2 million in operating expenses.
While about one-third of the natural gas is currently flared off, much of the gas is now being trapped and is sent onto a ever-growing network of pipelines, many into Canada.
"Some of this country around these wells is pretty rugged and it's hard to run pipeline into them," Bob Humann, senior vice president of lending for the Bank of North Dakota, said. "Besides, a lot of the production companies use natural gas generators on site to power the pumps."
Patten said gas directly from the wells is extremely hot, which makes it difficult to use in these generators.
"There are people out there trying to find ways to make that work," Patten said. "It's become quite entrepreneurial."
With all that oil and gas development comes economic development issues that continue to challenge community leaders.
It's not the first time these leaders have met some challenges. Take Humann, for instance. He recalls how agriculture in the area had its trends, such as value-added production—and how he had to meet them.
"I started my career back in 1992 and we were looking to diversify farmer income. We started financing bison operations, so I ended up getting the nickname 'Buffalo Bob,'" Humann said. "I later started working on financing ethanol and biodiesel plants, so I got a new nickname in 'Biofuels Bob.' The way things have taken off since 2006 I'm now known as 'Bakken Bob.' These changes make you stay current."
Another lender is squarely in the bull's-eye of the Bakken formation.
"This boom has brought in a lot of people to the area," Patten said. "Many of them come up to work two weeks on then two weeks off in the fields. They work 12-hour shifts, sitting in a skid shack to work, then going to another skid shack on location for 12 hours to eat and rest. Then they go back home."
Currently 185 rigs are working in the Bakken. This massive uptick in the area has created more than 22,000 temporary drilling jobs, along with 13,000 permanent jobs in other service sectors of the economy, with upwards of 3,000 permanent jobs created each year.
In McKenzie County, the heart of the Bakken, 65 rigs are operating, Patten said.
"That's $1 billion being spent in the county every six weeks," Patten said. "They can drill a well in about 16 days, then spend another 60 days getting it into production. In that time they'll spend another $8 million to $10 million and have roughly 150 people on that location.
"Those people needed to operate at a very high level. Some were very good. Some didn't know what they were doing. When you have mistakes it can be expensive and dangerous as well."
While oil-drilling activities are company-financed, local banks are financing the oil field service industry—especially trucking and backhoe companies, Humann said.
"For years, you really knew who was coming into the bank all the time," Patten said. "This goes all the way back to Grandpa. Practically every deal we now work is a new customer. He may come in from California or Texas or Chicago. You have to start building new relationships.
"Some are coming in with great ideas. Some are coming in with capital. Some are coming in with a great work ethic. Some are coming in without a drivers' license. The real challenge is know who is going to be a good person to you. I found one guy from Illinois who, when I did his financial statement, discovered he had more than 60 LLCs, LLPs and sole proprietorships.
"Meanwhile, I had one guy just wanting to buy a backhoe a couple of years ago. He now has a $700,000 line of credit because of all the equipment he runs. His net income last year was just under $1 million."
That kind of growth is typical of the boomtown that Watford City has become. The farmers and ranchers who are landowners with leases, who used to finance high-horsepower tractors over the course of years, now finance in terms of months.
"One of the questions we ask ourselves is how long is this all going to last," Patten said. "First, we built hotels. Then, the apartments started coming up. Now, it's single- and multi-family housing. Single-family homes present our biggest challenge because the infrastructure costs are such that it creates expensive lots. You end up with pretty high-priced properties. There is a huge pent-up demand for housing."
Lutheran Social Services teamed with a local oilfield service company to finance a 140-unit low-income apartment complex. Last July, Cash Wise Foods opened a 47,000-square-foot store.
"The deli was expected to do about $30,000 a week. It actually does about $80,000 a week," Patten said. "It's open 24 hours a day and the parking lot is always full.."
Other challenges include infrastructure, particularly building roads that can handle the growing amount of truck traffic.
"A semi loaded to capacity has the same impact as 60,000 cars," Patten said. We have to fix our roads quite often at $1 million per mile. Our gravel roads are just pounded. That's about $50 million to repair in the last year."
A $13 million addition to the elementary school has just been completed to handle the jump in K-12 enrollment from 825 students in 2008 to 1,300 in 2012.
"We have a bond election coming up in January for a new $55 million high school," Patten said. "We are adding lots of new teachers. My wife is a first-grade teacher. We had two first-grade classes, now we're up to five."
Medical services and child care also rank high in needs. Plans are in the works to break ground on a $50 million hospital in March. One-fifth of the state's highway deaths this year occurred in McKenzie County.
"We need more emergency responders and we have lots of hard-working people who fall asleep at the wheel from working too many hours. Usually, it's someone in a pickup who goes too fast trying to pass a semi," Patten said.
As it is, Patten thinks the boomtown of Watford City will stabilize a bit as wells are completed and production sets in. Because of this, farmland that used to be priced by the acre now is priced by the square foot. There's also one other interesting change.
"In 2000, five babies were born in McKenzie County," Patten said. "I think there was that many conceived last weekend."
