NJ Transit Compliment On These Reckless Bus Drivers Are A Joke

Back in 1995 a NJ Transit bus driver closed my left for arm and right wrist in the door while I was putting my 2 year old child on the bus. My son was on the bus as I was holding him and I am standing outside while the door closes up on me. The driver was looking ahead as I am screaming opening the door. If it was not for a citizen jumped in front of the bus telling the bus driver to open the door he would had dragged me to my demise. Until this day I suffer for pain were my four arms and wrist was damage by the bus driver. I compliant to NJ Transit and they did not do anything to the bus driver.

On July 18, 2012 a bus driver approached my son Deshon Johnson where he stood at the sidewalk of the handicap curb. He knocked my son down then dragged him 50 to 100 feet to his death in Bloomfield NJ on Broad and Bay, bus driver Romaine over my son twice. NJ Transit did not do anything but help Essex County Prosecutor detective vehicular homicide to cover up my son’s death. They gave the driver back his commercial driver license back the same day. The driver was a Community Coach USA bus driver operating NJ Transit bus 709. They also cover up my neighbor daughter death January 26, 2012 in East Orange on South Harrison. The young lady Christine Noble was taken her 3 year old son to day care as the bus driver run her over.

The bus company claim she jumped out in the street with her son. Once again nothing happen to the bus driver she is still living her life as for my son and neighbor daughter we are suffering with great pain as both victims killer is enjoy life. These bus companies will not do a damn thing. They deem all these bus death cases as accidents for the sack of less paper work and liability to the company. Essex County Prosecutor Detective in Vehicular Homicide for the bus companies in conspiracy with the people who work for NJ Transit. All these case are political corrupted.

You have some clueless people saying that these deaths are mistakes; which are not a correct label for human lives that are taken. A mistake you can erase then correct but with human lives there are no correction. You only get one life. I can see if these drivers have underline heath conditions like, heart attacks, seizures, strokes etc that they have no control of it will be a little more comprehensive to the victims love ones. When the drivers are driving in a reckless manner it is not acceptable because we have control of our driving as a license driver.

You can Google the victims name and read their story or go on Youtube. The bus companies do not want me to talk about what happen because they want it to all go away. It will never go way because my son is dead. NJ Transit companies do not give a damn about human lives they only care about money they generate.

The companies’ actions are saying FUCK THE PEOPLE and give me their money. These bus companies need to be boycott and make these companies stop harboring reckless bus drivers who are killers/murders.

What's the Deal With Black Chickens?

Pin it

Have you ever seen a black chicken? We don't mean a black-feathered chicken; we mean a Silkie chicken, which is black-pigmented right down to its bones. They aren't commonly found in the grocery store, but you might see them in Asian groceries. What's the deal with these black chickens, and do they taste different than the paler breed?

Pin it

Silkie chickens are a highly-prized breed of chicken that has beautiful silky white plumage, and startlingly black skin. They are frequently found in China, India, and Southeast Asia. They have a mild-mannered nature and make excellent pets, and you'll often see them at poultry shows.

The chicken flesh itself is a dark bluish-grey or even black, and the bones are black as well. But the meat really doesn't taste different by nature; it's just chicken. The one difference, however, comes from the way the birds are raised. These obviously aren't factory-farmed birds, raised on the enormous scale of US poultry farms, so they're almost invariably free-range and slightly gamier in flavor. In fact, if you're looking for free-range and well-raised birds, choosing a black chicken is a good way to go.

Do you ever eat black chicken? How do you cook it? It seems that a roasted black bird would be slightly startling to guests; perhaps you're better off with soup? Here's an article from The New York Times on black chicken and soup:

10 Shocking Truths About Fashion Shows

Q: How do they decide what order the models walk in at the show?A: It's really up to the designer to set the order of the show.Â That said, the opening and closing spots are always the most coveted positions in the lineup, and they usually go to the biggest model or models in the show. Some models won't even walk in a show without being guaranteed one of these bookend positions, especially when it comes to smaller, less prestigious shows. At the same time, a new model can see her career fast-tracked if she opens or closes a big show like Calvin Klein, Prada, or Marc Jacobs because it is seen as a huge endorsement by an industry leader.

Q: Why do designers only hire super skinny models?A: A lot of designers just have a very narrow view of what is beautiful, but that is changing.Â IMG Models, one of the most powerful modeling agencies in the world, is working topromote curvier women on the runway and the more noise consumers make around this issue, the faster change will come.

Q: Do models get to keep the clothes after the show?A: No.Â A show is really just a preliminary introduction to the collection — the clothes are still needed for at least a few more months for sales, production, editorial, and celebrity-dressing purposes. Only after they are on sale in stores and the next collection has been shown can those older pieces be given away.

Q: How much money do models get paid per show?A: Anywhere from $0 to $20,000 or more; it just depends on the model and the show.Â Supermodels like Karlie Kloss and Gisele BÃ¼ndchen canÂ make thousands of dollars walking in shows for brands like Chanel or Dior, and there are rumors about models making much much more, especially when walking in the show is part of a larger contract with that brand or if they are on exclusive (only walking for one designer that season). Less established models, on the other hand, often make next to nothing. Usually these models are working on smaller shows, for designers who do not have the budgets to pay them in cash and must instead pay them in trade, which really sucks if the model doesn't actually like the clothes.

Q: How do people in those street style photos afford all those designer clothes?

A: Often, they don't. One of the perks of being an editor is getting free stuff and deep discounts from designers. Also, given how popular street style photography has become, many designers actually loan looks to editors just to wear to the shows.

That bag was definitely borrowed.

Q: How do I get tickets to go to the shows?

A: You can't buy tickets; you have to be invited. You can request tickets from designers, but that's no guarantee you will get them. If you really want to attend a fashion show, try interning for a designer or a PR firm during fashion week. You may not get a seat, but you'll at least get to see or be part of the show.

Q: Do designers ever repeat past looks?A: Sometimes, but it's really not in their best interest. The whole thing about fashion is that it's supposed to be constantly evolving. Too much repetition, and people get bored. Also, by not repeating themselves designers create a sense of urgency around every collection since people know that they will only have one chance to buy whatever it is the designers are making.

Q: What is the key to getting photographed by one of those street style photographers outside a show?A: Standing around in fur.Â You might despise fur, but it's like catnip to street style photographers. The more they see, the more they swarm. If they don't swarm right away, you've got to be willing to devote some time to just standing around, waiting. It will happen

if you stand there long enough.

It wasn't until we added fur cuffs to Anna Breslaw's Fashion Week look that the photographers really started going nuts. By the time we added a fur hat it was pandemonium.

Q: At the end of the show, why do some designers walk down the runway and others don't?

A: It's just a matter of personal preference. Some designers like to make a big show of themselves, while others are more humble. That's all.

Q: Who decides what the trends will be?

A: Designers make the clothesÂ — sometimes with the help of professional trend forecasters, sometimes not.Â Then editors identify the trends based on how many designers are doing whatever it is (pajama shirts, oversized pink cots, leather pants, etc.). The general rule is that you need a minimum of 3 designers to establish a trend, but bigger designers like Dior or Prada can often launch trends all on their own because they are so influential that anything they do will be instantly knocked off and copied by other designers, thereby becoming a trend.

That said, a trend is only successful if it sells and new trends often grow out of the successes and failures of old trends, so, in a way, it is the consumers themselves who decide what the trends will be just by shopping.
