Cop Outfit
this wiki
Cop is an outfit available in GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and as a traffic police in Grand Theft Auto V.
GTA Vice City
The Cop uniform in GTA Vice City is that of VCPD officers. It consists a light brown shirt with white T-shirt, brown pants, and brown shoes.
It is used during the mission "Cop Land", in which Tommy Vercetti and Lance Vance steal VCPD uniforms from a couple of police officers.
While wearing the outfit, Tommy Vercetti is an ally of the VCPD, and is able to get in and out the Washington Beach Police Department without receiving a two-star wanted level. Inside the station, police officers will remain to act friendly towards Vercetti until a hostile act (i.e. shooting) will be made by the player.
The player can also get in the Fort Baxter Air Base without getting shot by soldiers.
GTA San Andreas
The Cop uniform in GTA San Andreas is that of the LSPD. It consists a black shirt with white T-shirt, black pants, black shoes and police belt; similar in design as the Medic Uniform.
Similar to its effects in Vice City, wearing the Cop uniform marks Carl Johnson as an ally of the police forces in San Andreas, and he is able to get in out police compounds and restricted interiors without attracting police attention and wanted level.
Grand Theft Auto V
Uniform is composed of a gray longsleeve shirt and pants with a blue necktie. It also has a blue/black helmet with the San Andreas Highway Patrol badge charged in the center. It has a pair of boots and a police belt with a radio. It is purely cosmetic and cops will still engage you in pursuit if you commit a crime.
- GTA Vice City
- Found inside the locker room of the Washington Beach station, after the mission "Cop Land".
- GTA San Andreas
- Acquired after achieving %100 relationship with Barbara Schternvart.
- Grand Theft Auto V
- Found inside safehouses, after completing the mission "I Fought The Law...".
- GTA Vice City Stories offers an oufit with similar effects called Army Fatigues.

More pointless works for such a waste of tax payers money. It makes no difference how much work they do to the road system becuase of the following reasons 1) Car parks are over priced which prevents people shopping in town regadless how good the road system is 2) Ipswich is full of a) charity shops b) mobile phone shops c) EMPTY shop units. So WHY WASTE MONEY until 1 and 2 have been sorted as people will continue to avoid cesspit Ipswich !

As Chris Browder grunted and sweated his way through a drill in Tuesday morning's practice, one of his teammates slapped him on the helmet and called out a few encouraging words.
"There you go, 275!" the other defender shouted at Browder.
That number is Browder's current weight; a bit of a handicap at three-technique defensive tackle. But in this particular drill, Browder wasn't a tackle. He was - especially by the standards of Auburn's defense - a beefy defensive end.
The senior spent Tuesday's morning practice switching between end and tackle. It's a rotation d-tackles coach Don Dunn says plays to Browder's biggest strength: his versatility. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Former South Dakota State University pitcher Stephen Bougher will continue his baseball career at the professional level. Bougher signed a contract Tuesday with the Lincoln (Neb.) Saltdogs of the independent American Association.
A native of Papillion, Neb., Bougher was a first-team all-Summit League selection in 2013 after leading the league in victories with an 8-2 record and a 2.86 earned run average. He ranked second on the squad with 62 strikeouts in 88 innings.
Bougher finished as the Jackrabbits' career leader in both starts (48) and innings pitched (299.1). He compiled a 22-15 career record to rank second all-time in victories. His five career shutouts are the most by a Jackrabbit pitcher in the Division I era and his 191 career strikeouts rankthird all-time at South Dakota State.
Bougher is the second pitcher from the Jackrabbits' 2013 Summit League tournament championship team to sign professionally. Fellow right-hander Layne Somsen was selected in the 22nd round of the Major League Baseball Draft and has since been assigned to the Reds' Rookie League affiliate in Billings, Mont.

WINNEBAGO COUNTY (WIFR) -- Alcohol may be to blame for a late night accident that left a Winnebago man dead. The Winnebago County Sheriff's department tells us 57-year-old Gerald Gipe went off Trask Bridge Road, west of Burritt Town Hall shortly before midnight.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. Autopsy results indicate he was killed by the trauma of the crash, and he did have alcohol in his system. Sheriff's deputies are still investigating.

I also do model railways, where the expression, 'Got all the gear and no idea' is quite often heard. Modellers who make something from odds and ends gain far more satisfaction from their efforts.
And so it is with photography.
If Joel Grey encourages people with phones to make good or even just more pics then his job is well done.
On another front the Royal Photographic Society here in the UK is looking forward to the first submission for its LRPS distinction made with a phone.
And there are still people out there using film in field cameras and making large contact prints.
In my opinion photography just is, the means is secondary to the image.

(WUSA) -- The origins of the world's most expensive coffee might surprise you.
It derives from Thai elephant poop!
At an elephant camp in Golden Triangle, Thailand coffee beans are naturally refined by Thai elephants. The beans are feed to the elephants which take about 15 to 30 hours to digest and are later picked from the poop ( a.k.a dung), washed and roasted.
About 10,000 beans have to be picked in order to produce 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of roasted coffee and the going rate is not cheap! At $1,100 per kg or $500 per pound, the cost per serving of this Black Ivory Coffee is $50 -- making it the world's priciest coffee.

Tuesday, March 27, 2012
My eyeballs feel like theyve been boiled and hurled back into my head. With a slingshot. And someone apparently took a ball-peen hammer and went to town on my eye sockets while I slept.
If this is spring, you can keep it.
Ive seen 51 springs, and this is the first time my body has decided it doesnt like it. In years past, I noticed our annual coating of pollen the same way you notice the gauntlet of orange-and-white barrels on Dorchester Roadyep, there it is. Again. Big whoop.
Only this spring (which seems like summer already, with muggy nights and daily showers), my body didnt say, Big whoop. It distinctly saidand I hope Im translating correctlyAaaarrrgh! Youre fixing to die.
Its not like my nose is running and my eyes are itching. Im just exhausted and everything above my teeth feels like its going to explode. When I give Widdle the snarky side-eye, which is several times a day, you can almost hear my eyeballs click back into place.
Widdle was eating a sloppy tomato sammich last night as I sat clutching my throbbing brow. I swear my eyes are going to pop out on stalks, I muttered. Can eyeballs actually burst?
Widdle coughed and put down his food. Tomatoes arent that good this year, he said. Then, sympathetically: Why dont you take two ibuprofen?
Thats just it, you see: I hate to take medicine. Hate it. I worry about what it may do to my liver, not to mention most meds make me sick. After I had sinus surgery in 2010, the doctor gave me pills to take for nausea. I threw them up. I swallow a sleeping pill every night and thats quite enough to choke down, thank you very much.
I do not do sickness well, and the fact that Im a lifelong hypochondriac doesnt help. Heres the thing: I follow a healthful diet, run 30 miles a week, avoid caffeine and go to bed every night by 11 p.m. I do all these things so I wont get sick. Which means that when I do get sick, it scares me to death.
My reasoning goes something like this Despite my best efforts, my body has betrayed me. Thus I am doomed to die a slow, hideous death.
To put it another way: If I sneeze twice, I make a new will.
Widdle, of course, is the exact opposite. The man is John Wayne tough. A few months ago he announced, I dont feel well. Turns out his not feeling well includes vomiting, fever and a blinding headache.
He shrugged off my hysterical flutterings and pleas to go to the doctor. I just need to rest, he said, and crawled into bed. He stayed there exactly 24 hours. (I was beside myself, imagining an empty life as the Widow Widdle.) Then he got up, ate breakfast, whistled a tune in the shower and went to work. Id have been writing down the name of my favorite florist and hymns for my homegoing service.
My current condition can best be described in the words of the ER doctor who treated me for norovirus a few years back: The good news is, youre not going to die. The bad news is, youre not going to die.
As Widdle helpfully pointed out, no one has ever died from a little pollen.
Scuse me while I click my eyeballs back in place.
Julie R. Smith, whose tombstone will say, I told you so, can be reached at email@example.com.

That's the verbatim response to the question "What if I want to have sex before I get married?" in "No Second Chance," a film that is part of Sex Respect, an abstinence-only program. Sex Respect has a host of other special and oh-so-factual messages for you in their student workbook, including such sparkly gems as:
"A young man's natural desire for sex is already strong due to testosterone...females are becoming culturally conditioned to fantasize about sex as well." (p. 11) Did you know that without cultural conditioning, women don't have any desire for sex? Of course you did. Did you know that women don't have any testosterone in our bodies, too? Note: neither of these things are true. But you knew that already.
"A guy who wants to respect girls is distracted by sexy clothes and remembers her for one thing. Is it fair that guys are turned on by their senses and women by their hearts?" (p. 94) So, when it comes to sex, men don't have emotions and women don't have any of our five senses. Fascinating. And no: that's totally not fair, but then gender stereotypes rarely are.
"These are simply natural consequences. For example, if you eat spoiled food, you will get sick. If you jump from a tall building, you will be hurt or killed. If you spend more money than you make, your enslavement to debt affects you and those whom you love. If you have sex outside of marriage, there are consequences for you, your partner and society." (p. 11) Including the not-to-be-missed consequence of having to pay over a billion in U.S. tax dollars to fund stellar education just like this.
But this particular message in the video, that sex (and only sex outside of heterosexual marriage) equals death is a common thread in many, if not most, abstinence-only curricula and programs. I figured it was high time we just unpack it, take a good look at the real deal, and be done with it.
I'm pretty familiar with common causes of death, but I thought I'd channel my inner goth and do some homework on death anyway. I even -- though most of me knew better -- prepared myself to discover that sex INDEED posed far larger risks of death than I thought, and prepared myself to share that information if I discovered it. After all, if I had any agenda or educational model that required my not being truthful about any part of sexuality or sexual health, then as far as I'm concerned, the impetus would be on me not to lie or misrepresent that information but to adjust that agenda or the way I educated. Clearly, this is a way of thinking lost on some folks.
I'm keeping this to the U.S. for a few reasons. One biggie is that if I were to pull international statistics, I'd be including nations where ultimately, very serious lack of access to healthcare or basic, healthy living conditions was often the real cause of death: where what someone died from often would have been preventable with care and a better environment. That's hardly a non-issue here in the States, but it's not the kind of issue it is here as it is in much of Africa or some areas in Asia. I'm also being kind to the ab-onlies in sticking to the U.S. If I included, for instance, HIV-related deaths from the least developed nations, I'd be showing up even more clear evidence than we have in the States that marriage doesn't prevent sexually transmitted infections. "In Rwanda and Zambia, for example, an estimated 55-93% of new infections occur within marriage or in cohabiting relationships." Same goes for deaths for pregnant women. We have to include those if we're addressing death related to sex, but while maternal death rates for the U.S. are high for a developed nation, they're peanuts in comparison to those of third world nations. Conversely, the rate of abortion-related deaths is also far, far higher in areas where abortion is illegal.
Let's go ahead and look at some current death statistics. According to the CDC, in 2006 there were 2,426,264 deaths in the United States. The top 15 leading causes of death, and how many deaths for each of those causes there were, is as follows:
It's perhaps worth noting that in 2006, there were "30,896 gun deaths in the U.S: 12,791 homicides (41% of total deaths), 16,883 suicides (55% of total deaths), 642 unintentional shootings (2% of total deaths), 360 from legal intervention (1.2% of total deaths) and 220 from undetermined intent (.8% of total deaths)." In that same vein, here is a list of U.S. military deaths in Iraq for 2006: there were 920 U.S. Military deaths (during active duty) for 2006, total. If it seems silly to mention such a relatively small number, keep reading.
You'll notice that STIs and pregnancy (including labor/delivery or abortion) aren't on that list at all: they don't even make the top 15, which might be pretty surprising when someone is making it sound like if you have sex (oh, sorry: premarital sex) you're not only going to drop dead, you're going to drag everyone else you know to the grave with you.
Of course, some of the deaths in some of those groups may have been related to sex. For instance, three leading causes of death for pregnant women are heart disease, homicide (often directly related to being pregnant) and vehicular accidents. Septicemia can also occur due to miscarriage. Similarly, those who died from HIV/AIDS may have actually died of pneumonia or influenza. And sometimes people (though not usually people your age) really do have strokes during sex. I should also mention that some of those homicides would have included hate crimes: assaults to those who were of a gender or sexual orientations others didn't like, though that's not really about how sex itself can kill you, but how people who are deeply screwed up about sex, gender and sexuality issues can.
To pick up some of those gaps, "The rate of maternal mortality in the United States declined dramatically over the last century; however, an increase in the rate has become evident in the past several decades. In 2006, the maternal mortality rate was 13.3 deaths per 100,000 live births, compared to a low of 6.6 in 1987. In 2006, there were a total of 569 maternal deaths (those resulting from complications during pregnancy, childbirth, or direct or indirect obstetric causes up to 42 days after delivery or termination of pregnancy)." That rate includes deaths due to abortions, but is mostly deaths due to sustaining a pregnancy or to labor or delivery. The rate of death for abortion overall is far lower than for that of sustained pregnancy: it's "one death for every one million abortions at or before eight weeks to one per 29,000 at 16–20 weeks—and one per 11,000 at 21 or more weeks." And only 1.4% of abortions in the U.S. occur after 21 weeks, the majority of which are performed due to serious complications of pregnancy which can include serious health risks for those pregnant women.
In 2006, the estimated number of deaths of persons due to HIV/AIDS in the United States and dependent areas was 12,113. In other words, while most deaths due to HIV/AIDS are included in the death statistics for other direct causes, this is exactly how many HIV/AIDS-related deaths we had in 2006. Sparing any deaths from cervical cancer related to HPV, and Hepatitis-related deaths (which often is acquired nonsexually), most other STIs do not result in death at all, let alone make the grade for leading causes of death.
This article (Sexually Transmitted Infections 2005;81:38-40) lists deaths directly related to sex, though for 1998, not 2006. That's important because some of these rates are different than they are now: for instance, our maternal death rate has increased and our HIV-related death rate has decreased by nearly half). Would that we had the same study for 2006, but this is the only thing like this I can find anywhere:
As part of an analysis of the burden of disease and injury in the United States, we identified and quantified the incidence of adverse health events, deaths, and disability adjusted life years (DALY) attributed to sexual behaviour. In 1998... 29,782 such deaths (1.3% of all US deaths) occurred... Viral infections and their sequelae accounted for nearly all sexual behaviour related deaths—mostly HIV/AIDS.
The table of data for that piece shows the vast majority of those deaths were HIV-related (22,455), and again, that's almost twice the rate of HIV-related deaths as we see in the states currently, primarily due to advances in HIV medical care and treatment. The next highest group was cervical cancer likely due to HPV (4,921) -- which would be included in the total rate for all cancers -- and the next rung was from Hepatitis B and C, which may or may not even have been acquired sexually. The same is likely true for some (but not the majority) of those HIV/AIDS deaths; a minority of those cases may have been due to IV-drug use, for instance. This data apparently also only included deaths related to unwanted, not wanted, pregnancy. That leaves only 414 deaths from other STIs or from unwanted pregnancy death outcomes.
Now that we've got all that sorted: by all means, having sex can result in some health issues or conditions (and some of them certainly are or can become serious) and can be related directly to a death. Comprehensive sex educators and organizations like Scarleteen want you to know that, it's something we mention (and always have) when it's relevant, and we want you to know how -- which is why we do that funny thing where we tell you how -- you can protect yourself as best you can from death and other unwanted health outcomes from sex, either by abstaining from partnered sex or by utilizing safer sex practices if and when you choose to engage in partnered sex (whether you're married or not). In other words, someone saying sex could result in death isn't lying. It can.
But. You are much less likely to die from sex than you are from a whole host of other behaviours or circumstances, some of which the same folks would not warn you about with anything close to the same urgency or intensity. I just don't see driver's ed teachers telling you that if you get in a car at all, you need to be "prepared to die," even though more people die in car accidents than those who die as a result of having any kind of sex. (I also don't imagine they say that wearing a seatbelt when you are in a car is playing "Russian roulette.") I don't see them telling that to a class about enlisting in the military. I don't see them saying that to nearly everyone eating things in the lunchroom every day which could put them at risk for the most common cause of death. "Time for lunch, everyone! Prepare to die!"
Anyone who is stating or making it sound like sex or premarital sex is something more likely to kill you than anything else is being baldly dishonest. Whether you have sex with a partner in or out of marriage, with a partner of any given gender, at any given age and even IF (though we don't advise it) you take risks with your health and don't have sex safely, it is not, by any stretch, highly likely to kill you, and you do NOT have to "be prepared to die" if you choose to be sexually active. Not any more than you need to be prepared to die because we're all going to freaking die at some point no matter what we do, anyway.
And unless the same people telling you that if you have sex YOU WILL DIE are also telling you, with the same hysteria, force and fury that YOU WILL DIE if:
...then those folks are being particularly dishonest, especially if they're telling you that they're trying to scare the crap out of you expressly out of concern for your health, rather than because they want you to conform to their own personal set of values. Because doing any or all of the things in that list are directly related to or causes of the ACTUAL leading causes of death: the real ways you are most likely to die.
Since you're here at Scarleteen, I know I don't have to tell you that if you're going to have sex with other people, we think it's a wise idea to have sex safely and responsibly (in ways which have been soundly and scientifically proven, over time, to protect your life and health, something public health agencies all agree on). I know I don't have to tell you that if you and/or any partner aren't ready to do that, we think it's a good idea to put sex on hold until you are all ready, willing and able to have sex safely and responsibly. Not just until you're married, if marriage is even an option for you or something you want to do at all. One of the reasons we think that is because some kinds of sex (most primarily vaginal or anal intercourse) sometimes can pose a risk of death, and another, the more pressing, is because far more often, some kinds of sex can pose risks to your health and the quality of your life.
But we also think that just like you choose to go ahead and drive in that car even though it's one of the most common causes of death; just like you choose to leave your home at any time even though it may expose you to things like flu viruses or people who might shoot you, that you're capable of -- and absolutely entitled to -- making choices about what possible risks in your life you want to take for the possible benefits those same actions or behaviors might offer. Because that's simply a part of living your life, the life that, by virtue of merely being alive, is going to kill you some day whether you have sex or not.

The Las Vegas Crime Lab is a scientific laboratory located in Las Vegas, which uses primarily forensic science for the purpose of examining evidence from criminal cases while determining who is responsible for the crime that has been committed.
Employees of the Crime Lab are known as criminalists; this includes both CSIs doing mostly field work and lab techs doing mostly lab work.
CSIs are equipped with guns in the field, but are not considered police officers. CSIs often mention this to suspects to make them feel more comfortable. [citation needed]
The Crime Lab is headed by Undersheriff Conrad Ecklie and reports directly into the Sheriff's office. [citation needed] Ecklie was once the Assistant Director and also former Dayshift supervisor of the Crime Lab, but was promoted to Undersherrif after former Undersheriff Jeffrey McKeen was arrested for killing CSI Warrick Brown in the Season 9 opening episode, "For Warrick".
In addition to that, all CSI personnel including some of the techs usually wear stab vests if they're out in the field, doing work or investigating any crime scenes. As well as giving the tags which ID'ds them as LVPD CSIs, they also give the wearer's surname and have various pockets useful for carrying small objects.[citation needed]

East Africa's political federation may not be realised if the five member states of the East African Community (EAC) do not fully implement the already agreed federation protocols, experts have cautioned.
Delegates to a recent meeting on the second EAC Dialogue on Political Federation said the protocols yet to be enforced include the Common Market Protocol that was signed in 2009 and the Customs Union Protocol signed in 2004, but came into force in 2005.
Speaking at the meeting held in Dar es Salaam, Prof Gilbert Khadiagala of the University of Pretoria said EAC federation will be achieved after success in the region's economy that would be obtained after executing the economic protocols.
"Economic integration is the foundation for political integration and political integration assists in the consolidation of economic integration, as such the two compliments each other", Prof Khadiagala said, adding: "Economic and political integration happens only where the ultimate objectives of regionalism is to denude sovereignty and invest in strong regional institutions."
He said for the EAC to transform into a political federation, member states should move from inter-governmental co-operation towards the supra-national level.
Prof Khadiagala said challenges to political federation include inadequate dialogue on the hurdles and lingering mistrust about economic gains.
Prof Sam Tulya-Muhika from Makerere University said it was imperative to eliminate all trade barriers in the region for the federation to be realised.
The meeting was attended by representatives of the civil society, academicians, political scientists and government officials from the EAC region. "Economic management is a primary function of the state and hence good economics is the best politics in this regard; political integration is key for successful economic integration," Prof Tulya-Muhika said.
He called for the harmonisation of national policies and laws with regional ones as well as proper management of free movement of factors of production, saying they are the building blocks to monetary union and political federation. The meeting was unanimous on the need to broaden participation to cover more stakeholders, sectors and groups in the EAC dialogue on political integration.
A recent report of 'Team of Experts on Addressing the Fears, Concerns and Challenges of the East African Federation' indicated that there was still fear that partner states would lose power and independence of
decision-making while citizens are unaware of how political federation would modify the sovereignty of the partner states, and the kind of sovereignty that will emerge out of the federation. EAC political federation will be the last in the four stages on integration, including the Common Market, Customs Union and the Monetary Union..

|Minor Character: Las Vegas
|Dimitri Sadesky
|Las Vegas
|Literature professor
| Pimp
Serial Killer
|Modus Operandi
|No. of Victims
|Portrayed By
|Mark Sheppard
|First Appearance
|The Lost Girls
Not much is revealed about Dimitri's early life, other than that he is apparently Russian and worked as a professor at a local university teaching Russian literature and worked from that area to recruit young girls to work for him as prostitutes. He later killed girls who tried to leave the business and buried them in the desert.
He later killed a woman named Samantha Matthews, but because the police in Las Vegas were looking for her he had to dispose of her in a different way than he killed his other victims. To that end he called one of his contacts and had him chop up her body and let the alligators eat her body when he goes to Miami. This doesn't work however, as police find a part of her body and connect it to his contact, Nathan Cole and arrest him for the murder.
Later he trades one of his ladies for a woman named Madeline Briggs but lets her go after seeing the hell she had been through and how she lost her commercial value. Unfortunately the police were on her trail and eventually found evidence connecting Madeline to him. They also found evidence that connected him to Samantha and eventually discovered the four bodies buried in the salt flats. To avoid the death penalty he cut a deal that brought down the Zetas.
Modus Operandi
Dimitri would target women who tried to escape from him and the business he ran. He would first burn them with cigarettes and then strike them over the head with an unknown blunt object and bury them in the salt flats. He later changed his M.O. and tried to dispose of Samantha by feeding her to alligators in Miami and to have her body chopped to pieces before it's done.
Known Victims
- Four unnamed women (all fatally struck over the head)
- Samantha Matthews (fatally struck over the head, chopped up post-mortem and fed to alligators)

Do You Fear Being A Creative Person?
I used to have a fear of being a creative person. I grew up making things and drawing, but at around twelve years old I stopped.I began to judge my work, making it hard for me to continue to create. It is only in the last few years that I have returned to drawing and taking pictures. I was tired of having ideas, and not going through with them, so one day I picked up my camera and started to photograph older stylish people. From there, it was easier to start drawing again, and I eventually felt comfortable with sharing my drawings with others.
Debra and I sat down to discuss how fear can stop us from being creative. She has helped me to understand that if we have FUN and enjoy the Process of creating that we can get over this fear. Many of the older ladies I meet tell me that they enjoy fashion, because they make it fun and don't take it too seriously. This a a good place to start, it involves risk, but once you start you can change and develop what you are working on. We would love to hear your thoughts,fears and questions to continue this conversation about how to stop being fearful and start having fun.

I love creativity! The hard part is dividing it into manageable phases of sorts.
The creative phase and the evaluation phase and so on.

My thought: Create a community of like-minded individuals with whom I/you can laugh. I'm naturally timid--so much that I can hide myself away in my apartment for days on end if I'm not diligent. I need people I can laugh with--especially about myself (I'm a clutz). True laughter is the opposite of judging--and since creative types are always judging, always pushing to become better, it helps to have a counterpoint. Laughter is serious, too! In real life, I have this with my writer partner. In my internet life, I seek out people who laugh through images and words--like here, at Advanced Style.

Great to see you live.Hurraaaaaaaaa
I never had fear of being creative, and encouraged my children to be creative too.
We give each other things we make for presents.
We never plan to be millionaire,so once you remove the money from the equation of success, everything is much easier.

A great topic to discuss....yes...I have a fear of creativity but in a weird way. I have made my living as a graphic designer for 25 years but I want to get back to painting and creating for my own personal enjoyment and hopefully others...but I feel such guilt that I should be doing the corporate design thing all the time that it stifles me. I have so many ideas of things I want to make or paint and you are so right...just pick one and do it. Follow through on one idea. Last year...I desperately wanted to start a design blog and I did...even though I was working 60 plus hours a week...and I need now to just push to the next level of my creativity.
My family always supported me being creative as long as I had a job that paid me to do it. The fear is trying to live and create and make a living without the corporate job. By the way I got laid off from my corporate job recently so I feel like right now is the time to take the leap.

I love these videos--thanks so much for doing them! Creativity is life--it's what I write about (my books--"Living the Creative Life" and "Creative Time and Space"--and the blog) and talk about and urge others to embrace. Thanks for helping spread the good word--

Nita, I feared the same thing, but I pushed myself to work my "money job" and then on my days off I worked on the blog. Also we can find ways to bring creativity into our jobs, life, little things. You are at the perfect time. Do what you love. I get work from just doing this blog, something I never thought would happen.

Maybe don't take it too seriously, like Debra says just have FUN. Push some papers around and glue them together. Enjoy the process! Just sit down and start something. I know its hard but its well worth it .

Creativity doesn't have to be shied away from, especially if you can just simply create things for yourself.
I am in the first month of running a 'street style' blog on my university campus, and I was at first so scared of approaching people and asking to take their photographs. I am in the process of realising that other people are actually interested in and encourage my project, so I don't have any real reason to be afraid any more!
Ari, I have just discovered your blog today, but I see what you are doing as something really important. Older generations are often negatively stereotyped and you help illuminate the fact that style often ripens with age!

Like I said on Twitter, it's not being creative I'm afraid of. However a lot of people get down on me for being creative, saying I "think too much outside the box."
For instance, this year instead of a "guess the weight of the pumpkin" contest for Halloween at work, I wanted to do a trivia contest. A pumpkin would still be the prize but this way we wouldn't have it out where little kids would attempt to pick it up. My boss and supervisor, despite asking me to come up with a new idea, basically told me, "No, we want to go with the same old thing."
Same thing with many of my displays. I have a little more freedom there, but even then I sometimes get called out on "thinking outside the box."
It's hard to be creative when everyone else is so set in their ways.

Ohh, this is such a great question. I have a physical condition and find that because of this I do not allow myself to be creative because I feel as though when I do feel good I HAVE to spend that time on doing what MUST be done. I have come to believe that this causes me more physical pain because I am not using my creative outlet to reduce stress. Thank you for bringing this up, I plan on using this subject for a group meeting I am hoping to have soon and would like to link to your discussion. This is REALLY GOOD, THANKS!

I fear not being a creative person. There have been some lovely times, such as Childbirth. And some barren times, such as divorce. The only way I can get back to myself is to begin creating again, at least in my mind.

Part of the issue, I think, is that we get a very strong dose, when we are young of 'you can't' - "You can't draw horses like that," or "You can't wear plaids and dots together," or "You can't wear white shoes after Labor Day," or "You can't wear that color," or 'That makes you look fat (or short or old or too young or too sexy or ...)." I just saw a photo of a dress project done by a not young, not thin person and she's, gasp, wearing it with white shoes!!!! OMG - and I looked at that and thought: Jeeze, that looks fab; I'd never be so brave to wear white shoes in January. But why? I think one of the great things about not being young is that why should we care what young people think? We aren't on their radar? They are only interested in one another - we're invisible to most of them. So, throw stuff on - if it makes you feel cool and good, then wear it and don't give a damn. Same thing with drawing. When I don't give a damn, then my stuff comes out much better than when I try to do school technique. color, life, movement - that is all that counts. Get a box of crayons and a big pad! Get some water colors or tempera paints and a big board and just put stuff on. There's no teacher leaning over your shoulder telling you that it isn't any good - it's all good.

Very important to have fun. I certainly think we forget that when we're striving for something. It's good to be reminded!
Such a delightful blog - enjoyable and inspiring.

I'm sure you can probably figure out by my blog name that I have never shied away from CREATIVITY in my life and embrace nearly ALL it's forms: writing, sewing, fashion and costume design, photography, knitting, painting, collage/mixed media, performance art and dancing - WHEW! I've done it all =-)
Debra hits it right on the nose by saying it's all about EXPRESSION, which I consider to be a very natural human impulse! We all desire to express ourselves to others whether by writing or by how we wear the clothes we wear, by creating beautiful music or a beautiful painting/artwork. I agree with Debra also, that this culture has such a fear of creativity and it's quite shameful that so many wonderful and talented lights are smothered by this FEAR.
Ari, this is the second time I have felt compelled to leave a comment because this post is SO VERY IMPORTANT, and I'd also like to say that I am so very proud to have witnessed the evolution of this blog and YOUR OWN CREATIVITY, by the photos you take to the drawings you have begun to exhibit here. I have no doubt that this artistry has begun to flourish under the mentor-ship of the amazing Wise Women and Men you choose to surround yourself with. It has been a privilege to see a young man as yourself speak eloquently to the love you have for The Elders and the respect you have for the experience and wisdom they pass along to you.
Keep up the amazing evolution of your artistry Ari - I'm rooting for you =-)!

I love your videos! Two creative minds working together! I love the topic and hope there are many who will share their personal experiences in overcoming the fear of being creative and showing their creativity to the world.
I started a blog. That was huge for me. Going public with who I am...... over the course of a year I've met so many wonderful creative people and that has helped me! One thing I've struggled with and that is having fun. I'm 57 and have had to discover what it is to actually have fun! Can you believe that?! It's true!
Life and creativity should be one....... Life should be fun!

After watching the first video~It had never occurred to me that you, Ari, might have been frightened by what you have done here! This video is so apropos to a discussion I have on Writer's Block in my Creative Writing classes. Often "perfectionism" or an "internalized critic" is what stops us. Or increasingly, it is having too many ideas and not quite knowing where to begin. I liked what D. said about God. I think of G-d as "The Creator," and I entirely agree that my own creations are the BEST expression of my knowledge of this higher power.
I wonder if you are familiar with the artwork of Elizabeth Layton. This woman took up drawing at age 60+, after many years of Depression. She is worth checking out.

WOW I am so impressed with all the comments. This is certainly a topic that we can all relate to. We obviously are all CREATIVE and have chosen certain expressive forms.
So many of you are brave just doing your work and loving it, starting blogs and just stepping out.
I think when the FEAR sets in that is the TIME WE MUST CREATE...even if it is a cake or a mud pie...or putting on an OUTRAGEOUS outfit. Try it and see how different you feel.
I love the comment about Elizabeth Layton who started to draw at 60+ after many years of depression.
YES... get a box of CRAYONS and big pad of PAPER and just go at it!
NOW is the time....

Great talk! You're spot on about creativity. There's the total fear that if you don't make something perfect on the first try, it's not worth it.
Making creative work and being creative is rewarding in itself, and it's a shame that worries about making a living through creative work stymies people's natural creative abilities. It definitely did for me!
On a related note, I'd recommend Lynda Barry's book "What It Is." It's an amazing work on creativity and the creative process.
Ari, I can lend it to you!

The only time I was "ashamed" not afraid of creativity was a moment in high school when I would sit in study hall drawing my little cartoon ladies all hunched over so no one could see what I was doing. It might have been that academic subjects were valued over art in my high school. The rest of my life I have been creative and loved it. Even in my corporate job. Count me in on any creativity discussions.
I wish I had those high school drawings now. I've been drawing like that ever since. And I keep every scrap.

This is such a great topic for discussion, and I have enjoyed reading the comments. I was an extremely creative child, always drawing, taking photographs, making up stories, etc. Then when I became a teenager I starting judging the things I created, found them lacking, and stopped making them. I've re-discovered the creative part of myself over the years, but I still have to combat the fear that what I put out there for people to see isn't good enough (for whom, I don't know). It's an ongoing process, and the goal for me is to live as creative a life as possible. Deborah is my inspiration for this!

Thank you for the discussion point Ari. I was a teacher of creative kindergartners in my former life. I always wished they could keep that spark of creativity that they demonstrated.
Adults will throw up road blocks that really can be overcome. What we see in our minds eye is not always the outcome. That is where we really do need to let go. Creativity involving a finished product requires practice...believe it or not. Whether we are writing, painting or sculpting, practice makes us better and better. I don't know what the percentage of genius artist is but I suspect it is very small. The rest of us just keep going given the talent we are given. Even when it come to fashion practice will make us more stylish and more creative in our clothing choices.
Be well.

Ari, I came across your blog as I was doing research for my own on the subject of fear and creativity. Wow, I'm blown away by your blog and I love your Advanced Styling, older ladies who have experience in putting together clothes. I am 51 and I feel like I have developed my style to as I have gotten older.
I am new to blogging, learning all the time! I would like to use your youtube video where you are interview with Diane about fear and creativity in my next blog. I know you will be busy!! but if you could spare some time to check out my blog too I would be so grateful - tips are welcome!
I am an artist selling my work on etsy and folksy. It's a tough world to break into. Please check out http://www.cobaltmoondesign.com/?p=271 for my blog and thanks for reading this. Thank you... Judith Dawson

May 6, 2016
HOUSTON (AP) -- A criminal investigation is under way after a hacker apparently accessed private photos and emails sent between members of the Bush family, including both former presidents.
The Houston Chronicle reports that a spokesman for former President George H.W. Bush declined to comment on a report on The Smoking Gun website detailing the alleged security breach.
Bush spokesman Jim McGrath told the Chronicle the matter is "under criminal investigation." McGrath did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment by The Associated Press early Friday.
The Smoking Gun says the hacker went by the online moniker "Guccifer," a word plastered across the leaked photos in translucent, neon blue print.
The website quotes "Guccifer" as describing himself as a veteran hacker who has long been in the government's sights.

Label owner creates business plan through divine inspiration
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
In today's up-and-down economy, when music consumers opt for digital downloads rather than purchasing CDs, April Washington's Habakkuk Records, which she started in 2008, has weathered the economic turbulence. A seasoned veteran music executive, Washington says she applied what she learned from her years with major labels to her own label. "When I went to
Motown, I worked under Jheryl Busby," she told the MSR in a phone interview. "He was a phenomenal executive. One of the things he taught us was really get on the ground…where the fan base [is]. Continue Reading →

In May 1884, the National Agricultural Company was formed with the aim of building the country's largest covered show center. The hall was to allow major agricultural events to be held right in the middle of London. The architect for this idea was a man called Henry E. Coe. He was the same person who had designed the Business Design Center. You can actually view the similarities between the two buildings, both have striking barrel roofs. Work began on Olympia in July of 1885. The plan was for the construction to take place on the four-acre site with a cost of £131,573. It would cost just about that to refurbish a single toilet suite at the venue today. Finally on 27th December 1886 Olympia opened its doors to the Hippodrome Circus.
Although the venue was sold and resold on a number of occasions, its popularity led to many extensions. The first, a small annex called the Pillar Hall, was added in 1896 and in 1923 there was the construction of the New Hall, which we now know as the National hall. Six years later we saw the opening of the Empire hall, later re-named Olympia Two. In 1959 Olympia's Grand Hall has an extension named the West Hall. The Olympia Conference Center was incorporated into level three of Olympia Two in 1987.

Gov. Paul LePage responded to declining state revenues today by signing an executive order for a budget curtailment of just under $35.5 million. Hardest hit among state targets was the Department of Health and Human Services, at just over $13 million, and a decrease in education funding for more than 200 state school units, of a little more than $12.5 million. Legislative leaders say they are ready to deal with the curtailment as part of a pending supplemental budget package from the governor. A.J. Higgins has more.
With only six months left in the current budget cycle, Gov. LePage was forced to take the curtailment action to offset projected tax revenue losses. Sawin Millet, the governor's chief of finance, said LePage's executive order for the budget cuts laid out the cold, hard facts of Maine's struggling economy.
"It references not only the statutes and the rationale for doing this, but the constitutional requirement that we have a balanced budget, and without taking action as proposed in this order and the curtailment plan that is attached, we would not be in that position, given the forecast that was handed down on Dec. 1.," Millett said.
The curtailment plan now moves to the incoming new Legislature's Appropriations Committee that is being called into action early by Democratic majority leaders. One of the areas hit hard is the General Purpose Aid funding that assists more than 200 state school districts. Millett says the reduction to schools totals just over 12.5 million.
But some districts will lose more than others. Portland, for example, stands to lose $870,000 as the result of declining state revenues, and Bangor would lose $270,000 dollars. Still, Millett says the state will hold off on immediate monthly cutbacks to schools until the Legislature has had time to hold public hearings on the governor's supplemental budget package that is expected to be released by Jan. 11.
"We will not start reducing payments to those local units until the Legislature has weighed in on this proposed curtailment, so we're not looking at immediate impact on the monthly flow of money to the local school systems," Millett said. "It can either be done proportionately for the months remaining in the fiscal year once the Legislature endorses a plan, and that could be spread out over one, two, three or four months."
State health care services for low income, elderly and those dealing with mental health issues are receiving an even larger reduction under the governor's order. The Department of Health and Human Services will have to absorb just over $13 million in cuts -- much of which will be borne by agencies that contract with the state to provide health services. Democratic House Speaker Mark Eves says his staff is just beginning to get a grasp of how deep some of these programs cuts could be.
"Three areas really stand out for me in the HHS budget, and that's adoption assistance, foster care and the mental health cuts to contractual services," Eves said. "These services have been cut in the past and, really, we're wanting to know what the impact is going to be, and that's why we're bringing the Appropriations Committee in early."
"We have to be fiscally responsible, and what the governor has done is the fiscally responsible thing to do," said House Republican Leader Ken Fredette. "We can't spend more money than we take in."
Republican leaders like Fredette approved of LePage's curtailment and said the longer revenues are not aligned with spending, the deeper the cuts are likely to be in the upcoming supplemental budget. He expects the temporary cuts to be painful. Assistant Senate Republican Leader Roger Katz said that while the revenue picture is bad news for the state, things could be worse.
"The good news is that it sounds like most of these cuts won't actually have to get made until sometime during the spring, so it will give the Legislature a chance to hold public hearings to get public input and decide if this is exactly the right place to make these cuts," Katz said. "Again, it's going to be part of a larger supplemental budget."
Other areas that received significant reductions under the curtailment order included the state university system, at $2.5 million, and the state Department of Corrections, at $1.9 million.
