County Deputy District Attorney, Beth Silverman, opens the trial with a statement concerning “a serial killer stalking a cocaine-filled neighborhood.”
On February 16, the trial of Lonnie Franklin Jr. begins three decades after the discovery of his first alleged victim. Franklin was accused of killing 10 women between 1985 and 2007. The women were between the ages of 15 and 35, and were found strangled or shot to death.
The "Grim Sleeper" nickname came about because of an apparent 14-year gap in the murders between 1988 and 2002.
During the time of the murders, many of the victims were women looking for cocaine to sell their bodies for sex. The women believed Franklin would supply them with cheap drugs after they gave him sexual pleasure. Unfortunately, that was not Franklin’s goal.
Every woman, except one, was found with drugs in their system and signs of sexual contact after meeting with the accused murderer. The only woman who was not found with drugs in her system was a fifteen year-old runaway who was found dead after taking advantage of by Franklin Jr.
Franklin was arrested in July of 2010 after a substance of his DNA was only found at some of the crime scenes. Franklin pleaded not guilty on 10 counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.
The defense did not give an opening statement before the trial opened, but Franklin Jr.’s attorney, Seymour Amster, opened with a statement concerning the fact that the defensive side have might tampered with evidence.
"The defense has thoroughly ... prepared for this case," Amster said. "And we believe that before it is done, there will be a different story told than what the prosecution is stating."
In her report, L.A. coroner, Dr. Lisa Schenin, wrote that one of the victims she examined was shot by the accused, and believed the shot wasn’t fatal so Franklin strangled the victim to death. Schenin testified that the victim’s death was asphyxiation as evidenced by "petechial hemorrhaging".
Amster fought Schenin’s testimony stating that no evidence of strangulation was found on the victim’s wound. No signs of finger prints or nails were found around the victim’s throat.
After speaking with ABC news, Amster said "Lack of defensive wounds mean lack of struggling.”
"I think it was a good day for the prosecution,” Silverman said after court wrapped for the day.
The trial is expected to last four months.

Have you ever considered working as a stagehand or stage tech for a Broadway show?
After getting the chance to work as a electrician(light technician) for the Broadway show, Annie, I can say it is much different than what I thought it would be.
The show was performed at the University of Tyler’s Cowan Center in Tyler, Texas. This year the Cowan Center has three Broadway shows: Annie, Saturday Night Fever, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat that have signed on to stop and performed during their seasonal tour.
For this show, I got the chance to learn how different a Broadway show is to the college shows I have worked on in my school years. With a Broadway show everything is fast-paced and constantly moving. The focus with these types of show is getting stuff done. With the shows I’ve worked on or performed in at the Trinity Valley Community College, the main focus is learning as much as possible and understanding how and why everything is done.
After speaking to my theatre design teacher’s husband, Andrew “Bohb” Nelson about what’s it like to work big theatre shows as a stagehand, he told me about the constant need to keep up with the group.
“It’s very fast-paced and everyone’s working as hard as possible to get everything done as soon as possible,” Nelson said.
Many stagehands are having to work up to 10 shows or more that they are working every week. As a stagehand for a touring show, your job includes getting up early, unloading the trucks, setting up equipment, before getting a 15 minute break, working more on setting up, have a lunch, working the show, loading the trucks, then driving all the way to your next venue.
Even though the show was extremely fast-paced, I learned about tons of different lighting equipment I have never heard of or seen of.
Another TVCC student also had the opportunity to work on the show. Sidney Cates, a sophomore from Edgewood, Texas, was an electrician assistant for the show. “It was very fun, and we had lots to learn,” Cates said.
While I was pretty nervous to ask my head electrician questions concerning the equipment, the times that I did I asked questions I learned so many things. I was able to learn what a light-color changing scroller was and why we use it during a show.
I also learned how technology is changing to assist light technicians. New advances allow them the chance to have apps on their phones or tablets to check working lights, pick up, and move the lights into air.
Working as an assistant electrician for a Broadway show was an amazing opportunity that taught me so many things I thought I would never get the chance to learn or do.

After hearing Casper Zazz's remix of <i>Happy Little Pill</i> by Troye Sivan, I have been obsessing over the original song! When <i>Blue Neighbourhood</i> came out and I listen to it, I fell head over heels for it. The whole album makes me either want to jam out or helps soothe me to sleep. The songs I would have to recommend anyone to listen to is WILD and YOUTH.</div>

Bath and Body Works Winter Fragrances </div>
</h3>
Even though my favorite Bath and Body Works scents are the fall pumpkin scents, winter scents can make the house feel like winter. In Texas, we can have weather from 40 degrees and cloudy to 90 degrees and sunny one day to 20 degrees and pouring down rain with sleet. We dont really get to have a Christmas or winter feel, so the Bath and Body Works products give the winter feel in our home. <b>ESPECIALLY THE CANDLES!!</b><br />

I was so spoiled this Christmas, my friends and family members gave me so many gifts that were thoughtful and meaningful. When it came to my wish list, I told everyone I'd like bathing products and my slippers. All I really wanted was a record player, which I got! I got everything I wanted and so much more! Some people say I'm hard to give gifts to, but every thing I got was beyond what I thought it would be. <br />
<h3>
My Laptop</h3>
Something that I've been really wanting lately is a new laptop to edit more videos and pictures for personal wants and class. So I've been asking everyone in the book for recommendations or checking out websites about possible laptop options. I ended getting an HP pavilion and I feel like the coolest cat using this laptop.<br />

Tove Lo is a Swedish singer who has become popular in the United States for her songs, Habits (Stay High) and Talking Body, and for loving to show her body off at concerts. Recently, I became obsessed with her music after hearing her song and watching her incredible music video for, Thousand Miles.<br />
<h3>
Master of None</h3>
Master of None is a Netflix show that Aziz Ansari created and is featured in, and is incredibly hilarious. The show has very crude and funny moments that I could never think of. Even though I saw the commercials on television I didn't think it was very funny, but I still gave it a try and it's great. I'm currently on the third episode out of the twelve.<br />

On December 30th, I got the chance to take my mom and boyfriend out to have a hang out day together. Our day included shopping, checking out after-Christmas sales, and snacking on some Taco Bell, but what started our day off was a showing at the movies. Since my sister was on a high school band trip and my mom was off, Robert thought it would be best to take her out and go see a movie: Daddy's Home.<br />

<span class="_dgc" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; display: inline; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.12px;"> To me, the movie wasn't as funny and was to the potential as I hoped it would be. I should've know the film wouldn't be that great after seeing the pair in The Other Guys, a comedic cop buddy movie, that I didn't feel was funny at all. The past few movies Will Ferrell has been has been in animated films, and not as funny as his crude adult films, like Step-Brothers or Elf. When I saw the commercial ad for Daddy's Home, I thought is was going to be hilarious with all the crude or dirty remarks between Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. In reality, the commercial showed all the funny parts of the film and the rest of it had bits and pieces of funny moments. Other than what they showed in the commercial, the only thing funny is at the end when show John Cena acting like a jerk towards Mark Wahlberg's character pursuing becoming a stepfather. In this film, the writers hoped for the two big stars, Wahlberg and Ferrell, to hit the audience with tons of wackiness and wicked comedy that would laugh the pants off of any movie theater audience member.</span><br />

Not there's so many different definitions of happiness and how to achieve happiness, but for me it has to do with my mental health.</span></div>

Mental health is our emotional, psychological, and social well-being, and it affects how we think, feel, and act. So many things can cause a dethings can cause a decrease or negative impact in our mental health: stress, not enough sleep, not exercising, eating unhealthy.</span></div>

I don't get a lot of sleep during the school year( about 4 hours on a good night), I don't always eat too healthy, I haven't been working out, I'm on my electronics way too much,I don't always get the chance to see my family, all sorts of things affected my mental health in a negative way. Not in a way where I felt depressed, but it caused me to constantly worry and stress over little things.</span></h3>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">One way I'm going to start sleeping more is by changing my schedule. I've made the decision to not work myself sick. So goodbye constantly working the graveyard shift, and hello working only weekends. That's right, when it comes to working at the nursing home I've decide it was in my best interest to start working the weekend and on school holidays. And during the school week I can just work as many work study hours possible, when I'm not doing anything or need time to catch up on some class work. Another thing that can help improve my sleep schedule is by not constantly being on my phone or computer watching YouTube videos or Netflix. I need to start logging off and help myself get tired by relaxing.</span></div>

It's Time to start cutting hours of staying out with friends at Applebees or working an extra shift, and time to start getting home relaxing with my boyfriend before he goes to work, grab lunch with my mom, drive down and stay a couple of days with my dad and step mom, or watch a couple of episodes of Parks And Recreation with my little sister.</span></div>

People don't understand that love is hard work, it's not always a walk in the park. And this song definitely shows that you will and can do everything and anything to get the love of your life. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How My Collection Started:</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Growing up, I was extremely infatuated with everything that had to do with the sixties and seventies era. I loved everything from the clothing, the carefree movement, the punk area of the seventies, the historical people, and the music. I loved the music so much it caused me to want to collect vinyls. When I was between ten or twelve years old, I decided to start collecting records. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was my very first first album I got from First Monday in Canton, TX. My mom told me I could pick any record from the three dollar bin, and I really wanted something that reminded me of why I started my collection. That album shows my connection to the past. Of me growing up and wanting to be a hippie.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After I received my gorgeous record player from my dad and step mom, Robert informed me that part of my Christmas presents from him were new records to play with it. So on our Star Wars date day, we went to Half Priced Books to look at records and comic books. Both of these albums are newer albums of bands I really enjoy. The Artic Monkeys have such a groovy,funky sound to their music I felt I had to get the album, even though it was the most expensive one I received. It cost about $25. When I picked my other albums, two of them ended up being old school movies so I had to return them. I knew when we went to return the movies I would most likely get a Paramore album, and at first I was going to get <i>Brand New Eyes. </i>Since I loved pratically all the songs on the album. Then I locked eyes with something else.<i> </i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not the biggest country music fan, but there's something about Johnny Cash's deep brooding voice that I've always adored. When my mom noticed how responsible and protective I was with my Monkees record, she gave me my grandfather's record collection. It included tons of country vinyls that I wasn't interested in, but the Johnny Cash albums sparked my interest in collecting tons of Johnny Cash albums. Now every time I look at records stores or book stores, I search for a Cash record I don't have. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not only that but Robert Earl also loves Johnny Cash, so he usually helps me with hunting them down.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> These records are important, since my grandfather's collection helped me start my collection. </span></div>

After stuffing food down our throats, snacking on sweet treats, and buying everything we could get our hands on, it's time to rethink what is our lives about and change something up. It's time to become a step closer to the person we strive and want to be. Well with New Years Eve coming, its the perfect time to plan your resolutions and hopefully succeed them!<br />

Its the year of believing in yourself, loving yourself, and doing everything to make you happy. 2016 isn't just another year, it's the year of success. I know you've probably had an awesome 2015, but its time for an even awesomer 2016.<br />
<br />
Do you have any New Years Resolution? Mine include: Making myself happier, putting my family, friends, and fun first, do awesome at Texas Wesleyan and in Fort Worth, and to read more. <br />
<br />
It doesn't matter how big or how small your resolution is our there. Reach for the stars, get the needed support and motivation from friends and family members, and make the year the best ever.Start by doing little things like writing down your goals or create a Pinterest/vision board, and then start figuring out ways to get closer to completing your resolutions. Its a new year, which means its time for new fun, new goals to achieve, and a new you!<br />

<i style="font-weight: normal;">How to Achieve Your Goals</i><i>:</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Don't forget people get caught up in all the hype of what's cool at the moment and the newest trend, but you don't need to. A resolution isn't just trying to find a way to lose weight or to learn a new language, it's much more. It's a way to get closer to the person you want to be.</div>
<br />
What you need to do is think about individual ways to get you a step closer to your goal. Don't get caught up in trying to look cool, get caught up in the importance of being you and making yourself happy. Nothing is too little or too big for you to achieve, because your happiest is the most important thing in the world.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Star Wars has become a pretty big part of the relationship I'm currently in. Our first date was about four years ago to see Star Wars in 3D, which has caused us to constantly give each other Star Wars gifts or wear couple Star Wars matching shirts. So when commercials started popping up for The Force Awakens, we began planning the perfect date night to celebrate our relationship's connection to Star Wars.</span><br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Time to roll out of bed for Star Wars day!</span></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our day starts at 9:15 am with Robert constantly bugging me to get up and threatening me that if I don't get up then I can't get any new records. Of course, that popped me up in a heartbeat. After getting dressed, we herded through the door on our way to pick up Star Wars tickets and check out some records.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Later on around 1:30 pm, we roamed down to the Ridgmar mall to watch the film. The mall has a nice movie theater located inside called the <i>RAVE, </i>which has recently added new seating called <i>Luxury Lounge. </i>With luxury lounge seating, you have electronic-powered reclining seats, cup holders, footrests, and the seats are incredibly comfy. The cool part is that luxary lounge is only three dollars more than regular seating. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since we arrived early to the theater, we were able to get goofy pictures with a <i>DEADPOOL</i> poster, some pictures in a photo booth, and were able to look at awesome movie posters for upcoming films.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once they finished cleaning the theater room the film was being shown in we were able to sneak in to find our seats. Unfortunately, we picked the wrong seats so ten minutes after getting comfy-we had to get up. Good news, our actual seats were pretty good. The best part was they were electronic reclining chairs that were soooo comfy! And the view of the screen was even better than the original one.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally, after waiting forty-five minutes at the theater we heard the Star Wars theme playing through the surround sound system. It was so loud, yet blissful to the point I had to remind myself I'm in a movie theater not in Star Wars world. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The movie was amazing. I loved everything from the funny moments, to watch Finn transform into the person he is now, to watching Kylo Ren's past connection with Princess (now General) Leia. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would love to tell you more about this blockbuster movie, but I'm not one for spoilers. I will tell you there are some sad parts, and there are some hilarious parts. Along with adventure, things that make you sit on the edge of your seat, and if you're a Star Wars fan things that make you love the series even more. If you aren't a Star Wars fan or haven't seen much of the series, don't feel like you can't see <i>The Force Awakens. </i>The movie is great for any new or old Star Wars fan.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For those that don't know I have a huge addiction to candles. I'm constantly buying new candles or requesting candles for birthday or Christmas presents. I love candles so much that I'm constantly smelling candles at stores, burning two candles with similar smells together, and have helped Robert grow an addiction to candles. Now, Robert is constantly burning candles or requesting to burn candles.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>Shaving Cream Candle</b></u></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This first candle was a little surprise to help fuel Robert's candle addiction. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Robert has tons of cool old school and new school barber shop tools. He has different razors, clippers, and a shaving kit that has an old school look to it. So when I found a Bromley Barber Shop & Co. candle that had a shaving cream scent to it, I knew Robert would love it! I found the candle at Burlington (It was my first time at Burlington!) in their home decor section sitting beside the pine scented Yankee candles. The candle was about $4.99, which is pretty good price for a product that is priced $19.99 on certain websites. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

When I smell the candle, I don't really smell the vanilla scent to it. Not trying to diss the scent, I do love it! The thing I love most is the packaging. The soy candle wax is hand poured into a purpley mason jar that looks red when the candle is burning. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>Yankee Candles:</u></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yankee candles are some of the most popular candles, yet I've had a few Yankee candles. Before Christmas with my dad and Jenn (my step mom), the only Yankee candles I've ever had was one from Halloween. Well, this year my step mom decided to stock me up with some Yankees. Some of the candles I got recently was a huge 20 oz Pineapple scented two-wick candle and a 17 oz Pine scented three-wick candle. I don't know how much the Pineapple candle was, but on the Yankee candle site you can get it for about $15 to $30 (depending on the size of the candle). The Pine candle that I bought from Burlington was originally priced for $9.99, but all Christmas products were 50% off. After the discount was taken off, I got the candle for about $4.95. Something I recently learned about the Yankee candles is their 22 oz candles can last up from 110 to 150 hours.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I grabbed this candle from the bag the first thing out of my mouth was <i>"What the hell is this?"</i>. When I saw the tin, I thought it was a tin of salted caramel popcorn as a stocking stuffer item. I like caramel popcorn, but I'm not really a fan of salted caramel products so I opened the tin to check it out better. What I found wasn't a bag of popcorn, but a light brown one-wick candle that smelled okay. But when I got home and burned the candle with a Apple Pumpkin Pancake from Bath and Body Works, the smell of the candle was intensified a million times more. The candle smelled so amazing!</span></div>

<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The one thing I really asked for on my wish list was a record player. When you have a record collection, you hope for the ability to listen to your favorite records. Kinda hard to do when you don't have a record player, when my step mom asked for my wish list in big letters was: <b>RECORD PLAYER.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When Robert and I had our Christmas, he decided to be a turd and tell me "None of us could find a record player that was affordable, so we didn't get you one". At the time, I really believed him and was extremely disheartened. So I made my mind that if I didn't get a record player from anyone for Christmas, I would get me one.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Until I got to my dad's and saw a pretty good sized box. When my step mom informed me it was on my side of the Christmas stash, the only thing I could think of was, <i>that's my record player</i>. On Monday, we had our Christmas. I ripped through everything, took my time to cherish the moments, until it was time to rip open the possible record player. Guess what, it was! A gorgeous ruby red Jensen record player waiting to be played.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The belt-driven 3-speed stereo turntable features a USB port with a cable to convert vinyl records to a digital format. With the help of an included auxiliary input jack with cable to connect with an iPod, MP3 player, or other portable digital audio players. The package also includes software for recording, editing, and converting audio content from the turntable into a MP3 format to later listen to. The sound of the turntable is great and clear with the help of built in speakers. Depending where you buy the product, the turntable cost between $60 and $80. The one my parents bought me was about $65 from <b>Jet.com</b> (<i>Amazon's biggest competitor</i>).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since this is my first turntable, I have to get used to using the automatic return tone arm and needle.

The mess up caused the rotation to slow down at times, which caused the sound to be warped. Either way, I had to send the player back to return it. In two or three weeks, I hope to see a huge box sitting on my doorstep with a turntable ready to be played!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Here lately I've been listening to tons of music mash ups between multiple popular songs. It all started when I heard a remix of Troye Sivan's song <i>Happy Little Pill</i>. After the song ended a mash up between a popular song by Sia and <i>Happy Little Pill</i> popped up. And thats when the obsession began.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now when I popped onto some tunes its usually multiple mash ups, but my top three favorite mashups are <i>La La La vs. Alive</i> by Rick Mashups, </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 20.24px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><i>Thinking Hello Out Loud</i> by DJ Pyromania 2,</span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and <i>United States of Pop: 50 Shades of Pop</i> by DJ Earworm. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
So far, I've had Christmas with my beast friend, boyfriend, and with my family in Fort Worth. And everything I've gotten has been wonderful! From all the smell good bathing products, the cute clothes, the <b>Betsey Johnson </b>bags, jewelry, and my record player. I am truly spoiled by my wonderful family members and have loved every second of it. I thank everyone for everything they got me, because this has been one of the best Christmases.</span><br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Speaking of Christmas presents, the one thing I really asked for on my wish list was a record player. I collect records, but have no way to listen to my collection. So I asked everyone in the book for a record player. When Robert and I had our Christmas, he decided to be a turd and tell me <i>"None of us could find a record player that was affordable, so we didn't get you one"</i>. At the time, I really believed him and was extremely disheartened. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Until I got to my dad's and saw a pretty good sized box. When my step mom informed me it was on my side of the Christmas stash, the only thing I could think of was: <i>that's my record player</i>. On Monday, December 20th, we had our Christmas. I ripped through everything, took my time to cherish the moments, until it was time to rip open the possible record player. Guess what, it was! A gorgeous ruby red Jensen record player waiting to be played.</span></div>

I'm not the biggest purse/ bag fan, but I absolutely love anything that is designed by Bestsey Johnson. Before we left for Christmas in Fort Worth, Robert informed me that I shouldn't collect anymore Betsey bags, but my family thought differently. So after my grandma got some help from my step mom, Jenn, to get my Christmas gift. She was able to find a gorgeous bag. When I peeked in my Christmas bag, a white medium sized Betsey Johnson purse with white metal bows on the front sat inside it. </span><br />

I loved everything about it! There was some sad parts, but I wasn't closely attached to the character to have my heart broken. And the ending makes you hope and prepare for the next installment.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The movie was extremely important for my boyfriend and I, since the first date we went on was to see Star Wars episode one in 3D. Now four years later, we get the chance to watch the newest Star Wars movie together!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course the jelly beans were a part of our sweet treat haul, so I had to try a bunch of beans that were either real good or possibly throw up flavor. Some other treats include: sugar cookie toast crunch, fruit punch jolly ranchers, and eggnog flavored chocolates. The toast crunch and jolly ranchers were awesome! By far, my favorite treat was the Toast Crunch which my sister and I are still snacking on. The eggnog was okay, but didn't have an eggnog taste. Both my sister and I felt it tasted more like Chai tea.</span></div>

When it comes to the women in my life, they love smell good bathing products. Since Bath and Body Works is my favorite store, I know the perfect thing to give! Usually I do a gift set of a certain great smell or give a three wick candle.The scents I love to give our Vanilla Bean Noel (a huge scent at our household) and Winter Candy Apple. With the gift sets, I'll give a bottle of lotion and shower gel of a certain scent wrapped in a holiday bag and topped with a red ribbon.</div>

When it comes to my dad and Robert, they never want to give me a straight answer of what they want. Meeeeeeennn. Since both of them are in need of more shirts, I decided to grab them a couple of comfy shirts with designs they'd like. Here lately my dad's been raving over the band Foo Fighters, so I snagged him a ten dollar tee from JcPenneys. With Robert, I searched all over for different Captain America, Boondock Saints, and funny t-shirts. Lets just say he's no longer in need of shirts.</div>

After driving two hours from Athens to our destination, we started our adventure with a happy walk around the zoo, stuffed our faces with In and Out burger and Raising Cane's chicken, and saw my happy little cousins and grandma.</span><br />

After speaking to the advisers and my lovely tour guide about how they were reinforcing security on campus, Jenn and I felt the safety and security was nothing to worry about.</span></div>

After finding out the mass communications department wasn’t separated between journalism,video and radio production,and marketing,I knew this was the school for me. In mid-November,I got the exciting news that I was accepted. So I did what I could: sent off my transcript and meningitis record from Trinity Valley Community College,paid my deposit, and booked the first tour I could. The tour went wonderful, everyone was so nice and informative, and fell in love with the school even more! Plus I got a free t-shirt!</span></span></div>

But the three wick candles can be expensive, and I really have to look for specials to know when to stock up. Recently, that wonderful moment happened. A holy grail of Bath and Body Works special popped up on the site. Before this special, I thought the best ones they had was $15 candles or 2 for $20 candles. Until now.</span></div>

One Twitter user posted,</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">“First </span><span style="line-height: 22.08px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Starbucks</span><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> doesn't support </span><span style="line-height: 22.08px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Christmas</span><span style="line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and now they encourage killing polar bears, smh”.

I do see the slashed throat look and if the scarves were thicker they would look like that. In reality, this shows people love to make little things into so much bigger than it is. First people thought Starbucks was against Christmas for having red coffee cups, now they are promoting animal cruelty by using cookies. Come on people. Find something better to do with your time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">With Christmas weight coming, I feel I should try to lose a
little bit of weight before letting cake pack it back on my hips. But with a
sweet tooth the size of Mount Rushmore, it can get a bit difficult. That's when
these little buggers come in handy. Jolly Rancher candies are great for to enjoy
while at work or during a class session. They really get a hold of my cravings
and give me a sweeties satisfaction!</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">With the wretched Finals week coming upon us, there is no
time to be disorganize and not prepare. Which can be difficult for a theatre and
communications major who also works two jobs. That's when my wonderful planner
from Wal-Mart comes in handy! I got this nice little ditty at the beginning of
the Fall semester from Wal-Mart, and it has been so helpful. It's like have a personal assistant
in my backpack at all times.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’ve been a big fan of Spotify's Premium service ever since
it was released, but here recently I’ve been looking for a cheaper
alternative. YouTube swept in and saved my musical day by releasing their free
app, YouTube Music. In case you haven’t heard, YouTube Music enables a listener to
either watch a video or just listen along, but if you need to close the app it
won’t stop the music. Ever since YouTube released this beautiful gift from the Social
Media gods it has become my number one app on my phone.</span></div>

keepsake photos to hang on our walls. If you’re located near or in the East

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Coldplay released their newest album,<em> A Head Full of Dreams</em>,
on December 4<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>.The album has a wonderful upbeat, psychedelic feel
with a few stripped down, touching songs. This album includes two of my favorite
songs on it: <em>Adventure of A Lifetime</em> and <em>Hymn for the Weekend </em>feat. Beyoncé
Knowles. Both of these songs instantly make me want to pop up and dance and
instantly puts me in a wonderful mood.</span></div>

Serkis, featured a group of chimps discovering the power of music.
The group of chimpanzees are shown to be discovering a Beats Pill
speaker under some leaves, and they begin to form a band the
resembles the Coldplay band mates. The video ended by thanking
everyone that contributed in the making of it and they dedicated the
video to the people of Paris, where the video was brought to life.<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i> Adventure of a Lifetime</i>
can described as a disco-rock track with pop rock influences and
revolving around a high-pitched guitar riff. Unlike their last album,
<i>Ghost Stories</i>, which had a melancholy feel, the newest album
is already receiving praise for the incredible vibrant disco-like
style.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> Respectively, Bianca
Gracie and Robbie Daw of Idolater. com rated the song between a 7/10
and 8/10 and stated the song is “incredibly vibrant in an almost
childlike, blissful way that gives an energetic rush” and that it
is “the best Coldplay single in seven years”.</span><br />

<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> The video is currently up
on Coldplay’s Youtube channel, and the song is available on Itunes
for $1.99 where fans can also pre-order the album <i>A Head Full of
Dreams</i> set to be released on December 4. The song and album are
currently No. 2 on the hit Coldplay songs and albums list, following
<i>Paradise</i> from the <i>Mylo Xyloto </i>album.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> At the moment, <i>Adventure
of a Lifetime</i>, is on constant rotation on the radio. The song
immediately makes me want to dance and be in an upbeat mood. The song
makes me think of Red Hot Chili Peppers comeback to music in 2011
with <i>The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie</i>. After the Red Hot
Chili Peppers released their popular album, <i>Stadium Arcadium</i>,
it took them five years to release an album that appealed to a
different audience.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> The Chili Peppers always
had a psychedelic punk rock style of music, but <i>The Adventures of
Rain Dance Maggie”</i> had more funky pop feel. Similar to what's
happening with Coldplay,they always had a romantic and melancholy
feel, but their newest album will have a different feel.Their latest
album will attract a new array of fans.</span><br />

Advances</u></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Crowded areas can cause people to
become impatient, frantic, frazzled, and very uncomfortable.
Sometimes it can even be a place where people are sexually assaulted
or become uncomfortable from sexual advances.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Many female concertgoers become
uncomfortable from being inappropriately touched while trying to enjoy
the show or their favorite bands.</div>
<br />
After female concertgoer Hannah
Camiller of Glasgow, Scotland, shared her story of being victimized,
four other girls banned with her to create the group: Girls Against
Gig Groping.<br />
<br />
<br />

and bringing this issue to the public eye, they are gaining major
supporters. Bands like Senses Fail, the 1975,Circa Waves and Slaves are some bands that contacted the girls to show support of their
initiative. The girls have also gained the attention of the British
media like Huffington Post UK and BBC.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
The girls insist Girls Against Gig
Groping or GA, extends to all sexes since GA was the brainchild of
intersectional feminists, they seem to focus more on women. In
reality, the cause transcends into all boundaries of race, class, age,
sexuality, and gender. GA can teach the importance of ending sexual
assault at concerts and festivals.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Currently, Girls Against Gig Groping,
is based in the UK, but the girls are hoping to expand all over the
world. The girls hope to collaborate with other recognizable feminist
activists and campaigns.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
To find out more about the group, you
can check out the organization’s Twitter and Tumblr pages. Other
than following the group’s social media sites and showing support
for their initiative, people need to learn and understand the
importance of reporting sexual assault . Don't be a bystander, yell
for security or a fellow concertgoer for assistance. The best way to
end unwanted groping at concerts is by reporting it</div>

Controversy</span></u></div>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">
</span></div>
</span><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
</span><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> You know
things are going crazy when people start freaking out about a red cup of
coffee, yet still buy it. </span><span style="background: white; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia; mso-highlight: white;">A
controversy started after a video went up on YouTube of a self-proclaimed
American evangelist and social media personality, by the name of Joshua
Feurestein, ranging against Starbucks new seasonal coffee cups and their plan
to take Christ out of Christmas. On the video, Feuerstein, states “Do you
realize that Starbucks wanted to take Christ, and Christmas, off of their
brand-new cups? That’s why they’re just plain red. And do you realize that
Starbucks isn’t allowed to say ‘Merry Christmas’ to customers?”, while
sipping on a cup of Starbucks coffee.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia; mso-highlight: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> After the video was released,
Starbucks commented “Baristas are not provided a script or a policy around
greeting customers. They are simply encouraged to create a welcoming
environment to delight each person who walks through our doors.” Simply, they
are saying there is no ban; it's the barista’s choice to say or not to say it.
Feurestein still believing that the barista’s are prohibited to say “Merry
Christmas”, he informs “his followers” to tell the barista that your name is
“Merry Christmas” so they are forced to say it.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia; mso-highlight: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> Now, time for my personal opinion
and rant.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia; mso-highlight: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> First off this is incredibly stupid.
All publicity is good publicity. No matter how many people say “Looks like
Starbucks is losing my service”, it won’t matter to them because they have
millions of other customers around the world to serve. Let’s say, you decide to
still go to Starbucks and you tell them your name is “Merry Christmas” every
time you buy a coffee, you’re still helping them make money. Either way you try
to “stick it to the man”; you are helping them not bringing them down.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="background: white; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia; mso-highlight: white;"> Second, the cup went from having
pictures of ornaments, reindeers, and snowflakes to just a solid red cup with
the green logo. How in the world do reindeers and snowflakes have anything to
do with Christmas? Those are all things we have created for a perfect Hallmark
Christmas, not a traditional religious holiday. With a traditional religious
holiday, it’s time to remember the birth of Jesus and what he did for us, spend
time with family and friends, and spend time with your church. Not time to
freak out about some cute designs on a coffee cup.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia; mso-highlight: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> Lastly, I feel if it the design
is such an issue you can turn the red cup into a positive instead of a negative.
You could say it’s the blood that Jesus shed when he died for sins, and if he
had never been born on Christmas he would never have done that.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="background: white; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia; mso-highlight: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> In conclusion, I just feel this
controversy is just some way a guy can get popular and famous on the internet.
Wait a couple of weeks and see that no one will give a crap about a red coffee cup;
they would be more interested in its containments. This big ordeal can teach
everyone an important lesson; take care of yourself instead of being in other
people’s business and to not be a dramatic queen.</span></span></div>
