Property taxed in Arizona is classified as Real or Secured Personal Property -or- Unsecured Personal Property. Unsecured Personal Property consists primarily of business property and mobile or manufactured homes. Unless your manufactured home is permanently affixed to your land and you have applied for affixture from the Assessor's Office, you will receive one statement for your land and one statement for your manufactured home. If you have recently affixed your manufactured home, please check with the Assessor's Office at 928-524-4086; because the Assessor's Office is always working at least one year ahead, the affixture might have been effective for the next tax year but not the current year.
For your convenience, we offer a variety of payment options including credit card, debit card, and e-check. You can make current year payments by credit card, debit card, or e-check by visiting the Navajo County Property Tax Payments website or by calling Point & Pay at 877-459-6499. Please note that there is a transaction fee for using these methods of payment. Navajo County does not receive or benefit from any of the transaction fees charged by this company. Note: Because these payments are first processed by a third-party company, it may take 5 to 7 business days to see your payment reflected on the website.

You may also make payments by mail with check, cashiers check, or money order. We can accept US FUNDS ONLY and checks should be written in blue or black ink only. Please do not mail cash payments.
Cash payments can only be made in our Holbrook office located at 100 East Code Talkers Drive. All payment options are detailed on our home page.
Your tax liability covers the calendar year, from January through December. The first installment on that liability is due by November 1. The second installment is due by May 1 even though this date is in the next tax year.
Your taxes fund the various jurisdictions over their fiscal year, which is usually from July 1 through June 30.
Taxes are calculated based on a rate applied to the limited value of your property. The tax rate is a combination of the rates of all the jurisdictions that have a property tax where you live such as county, city, school districts, and fire districts. There is a Primary Tax Rate and a Secondary Tax Rate. Primary taxes are used to pay the operating expenses of a jurisdiction and the rate is applied to the Limited Value of your property. Secondary taxes are used to pay for special districts, such as fire districts, and other voter-approved items, such as bonds and budget overrides.
The calculation is as follows:
Primary Tax = Limited Value times Assessment Ratio times Primary Tax Rate divided by $100.
Secondary Tax = Limited Value times Assessment Ratio times Secondary Tax Rate divided by $100.
TOTAL TAX = Primary Tax + Secondary Tax
Tax increases are a result of either increased property valuations, higher tax rates, or both.
Your tax amount is a function of the Assessed Valuation and the various tax rates established by the various political subdivisions in which your property is located. If you believe your valuation is too high, please contact the Navajo County Assessor's Office at 928-524-4086. They can help you through the appeals process. If you believe your tax rate is too high, please contact the appropriate political subdivision(s) listed on your tax bill.
If you have difficulty paying your taxes, there are some programs available that may help you. The Assessor's Office can provide you with more information.
The Treasurer's Office cannot change the amount of your tax unless directed to make the change by the Board of Supervisors. If you believe your taxes are incorrect because of the assessed valuation, classification, exemption amount, or you were assessed a tax for an incorrect political subdivision, the Navajo County Assessor's Office can initiate the required correction. We will make the change once we receive direction from the Board of Supervisors. We always recommend that you pay the incorrect amount of tax. If the correction is made after the delinquency date, you will be charged interest on the unpaid amount of tax. If you pay the incorrect amount and your tax is lowered, we will refund you the overpayment of tax plus interest at the prevailing rate established by the Arizona Department of Revenue. If your taxes are increased, you will be allowed 90 days to pay the increased amount of tax without interest. Any balance due on the original amount will be charged interest.
No. We mail out one tax bill, typically in mid- to late September. If your mortgage company has reached out to us to request the tax bill, you will receive a postcard providing the basic tax information rather than a full bill including payment coupons. If you have not received your tax bill by October 1st, please call our office at 928-524-4172.
The "convenience" (or "transaction") fee charged for credit card, debit card, and e-check payments--whether made online, over the phone, or in person--covers the cost of accepting and processing those payments. Navajo County does not keep any of that fee. 100% goes to our electronic payment servicer who provides those payment capabilities. This provider went through the county RFP process and was chosen primarily because their cost to the taxpayer was lower than their competitors.
Make check payable to Navajo County Treasurer and submit to:
PO Box 668, Holbrook AZ 86025-0668
Please ensure your check:
Yes. Although the Treasurer makes every effort to mail a tax bill to all property owners, the only notification required by Arizona Revised Statutes is the publication of an official notice of tax in a newspaper of general circulation in the county.
Failure to receive a tax statement is not a legal reason for waiving interest. The Treasurer must assess interest on all delinquent taxes at the rate of 16% per year (simple), prorated monthly on the first day of each month.
According to state law, once the delinquency date has passed, interest starts to accrue at 16% per year prorated monthly. This means you will pay 1.333% on the amount of tax due whether you pay on the first day of the month or the last day of the month. For taxes that are not paid before January of the following year, an additional $5.00 or 5% penalty is assessed. In February, your delinquent tax lien will be offered for sale at our Tax Lien Auction. This is a sale of the lien for delinquent taxes, not the sale of your property. After three (3) years from the date of the sale, the purchaser of your taxes can foreclose on the lien and acquire your property.
No, we cannot accept partial payments for the redemption of tax liens. If a tax lien has been sold on your property, all delinquent taxes, interest, penalties, and fees must be paid in full according to state law.
During the closing of a typical real estate transaction, tax amounts are prorated by the title company and the buyer is given credit for the seller's portion. You should review the settlement statement provided by the title company to confirm this and contact the title company with any questions you may have regarding that calculation.
Property taxes are assessed against the property, not the person. The Treasurer’s Office does not prorate taxes between new and prior owners.
Ownership records are updated each time a deed is recorded with the Navajo County Recorder's Office. For more information concerning title recordings, visit the Navajo County Recorder's website or call 928-524-4194. Property transfers occur on a daily basis in large volumes. Once the deed has been recorded, the ownership change is made to the tax roll by the Navajo County Assessor. Ownership changes to the tax roll made by the Assessor are reflected on the Property Information Page the day after the change is entered.
It is the responsibility of the new owner and prior owner to notify the Assessor of the change in ownership once the title has been transferred. For questions, contact the Navajo County Assessor's Office at 928-524-4086.
The Navajo County Assessor is responsible for exemptions. Information about exemptions can be obtained by contacting the Assessor at 928-524-4086 or by visiting their website.
State Aid to Education is a reduction for homeowners (owner-occupied) in the primary property tax levied by school districts in your area. This amount will be reimbursed to the school districts from the State through the County Treasurer. This reduction is applied to owner-occupied real property and improvements to the property and owner-occupied mobile homes that are the owner's primary residence and classified as class three property, and cannot exceed $600.
Fire District Assistance is a countywide tax used to supplement fire districts. It is levied against every taxable property in the county in accordance with ARS §48-807.

STATS Group was contracted by CUEL Ltd. in June 2016 to assist with the repair of an 8” gas condensate export pipeline, located in the Gulf of Thailand. The pipeline situated at a water depth of approximately 60m has an operating pressure ranging from between 7 and 21 bar. The pipeline had been dragged approximately 8m out of position by a vessel anchor and required a permanent repair.
STATS utilised its range of subsea products to facilitate the repair, which included BISEP’s, slab valves, hot tap fittings, completion plugs, end connectors and abandonment plugs. This comprehensive suite of tools was engineered, manufactured, tested and deployed in-field, allowing the pipeline repair to be successfully completed in December 2016.
Following a detailed engineering and risk assessment by CUEL and the pipeline owner, a repair methodology and solution was developed, whereby an 8” bypass was installed on the seabed as a permanent repair to re-route the pipeline medium away from the damaged pipeline section.
Original Pipeline Layout (left). Pipeline with Permanent Bypass (right).
Methodology and Solution
STATS and CUEL jointly began developing an isolation and repair solution that would allow the damaged section of pipeline to be isolated and safely removed from the system, with no impact to production, the environment or risk to diver safety.
STATS’ patented BISEP was selected to provide leak-tight isolation of the pressurised pipeline. The BISEP is deployed through a full bore hot tap penetration at the isolation location through a mechanical hot tap fitting. The DNV GL type approved BISEP provides a fully proved, fail-safe, double block and bleed ( DBB) isolation barrier from the pressurised pipeline. This level of isolation complies with industry guidance on isolation and intervention for diver access to subsea systems, ensuring diver and worksite safety. The pipeline repair solution incorporated installing a permanent bypass pipeline, which allowed the operations to be completed without the need for shutting-in pipeline production or depressurising, thus, ensuring production was maintained uninterrupted. Once the repair methodology was agreed and comprehensive risk assessment complete, STATS commenced key engineering and manufacturing operations to meet the project schedule.
Prior to deployment offshore, STATS shipped all the equipment to Thailand and performed a representative test scope that involved all the key stakeholders of the project, including the vessel dive team. The scope included actual pipe sections and involved testing that reflected the offshore operations with STATS’ technicians and client engineers.
Hot Tap Fitting and Slab Valve
The subsea operations commenced with the excavation and concrete removal of the pipeline at key sections, to allow for the installation of six 8” x 8” #600 STATS diver installed subsea hot tap fittings. At each of the three locations, a hot tap fitting was installed to provide a tie-in for the bypass pipeline and a second hot tap fitting as the entry point for the BISEP isolation.
During the offshore deployment, the subsea intervention stack-up was overboarded from the dynamic position diving support vessel ( DPDSV) and fitted to the pipeline using saturation divers. Once the hot tap fittings were installed and bolts tightened, a pressure test of the annulus and body flange was completed to verify the pressure integrity of the clamp to the pipeline at 56 bar. Key measurements were taken throughout by STATS’ technicians and, once the hot tap machine testing was completed, the hot tap machine cutter was then advanced to cut the hole in the pressurised pipe. Once hot tapping was complete, the cutter was retracted, complete with the pipe coupon back through the valve and into the hot tap machine adaptor. The valve was then shut and pressure integrity tests were completed to allow the hot tap machine to be unbolted and recovered to the surface. Once the hot tap machine was recovered to the vessel deck, the coupon was removed, inspected and key dimensions verified.
Hot Tap Machine and Clamp Deployment
By following a dedicated training programme onshore in Thailand, the vessel dive team were fully trained in the use of the subsea hot tap machine and successfully carried out the six hot taps on the pipeline.
On completion of the hot tapping work scope, the next stage of the operation was to fit the permanent subsea bypass spool. The bypass spool was fabricated in lengths and deployed from the vessel to the seabed for careful positioning by divers. The final tie-in spools were then connected, creating a bypass around the damaged pipe section. Once the flange joints were tested, the valves mounted to the STATS hot tap fittings were opened to allow flow from the pipeline into the bypass section, as well as the original pipeline.
The next phase of operations was to install the subsea BISEP’s at each of the three isolation locations. The BISEP’s were overboarded from the DPDSV and connected to the STATS supplied ( DBB) subsea slab valves that were bolted to the hot tap fittings. Once the necessary verification tests were completed, the BISEP was activated via a hydraulic umbilical on the vessel deck to a hydraulic control console. The BISEP head was then deployed into the pipeline, and the head compressed to activate the primary and secondary seals.
Once the BISEP head was deployed into the pipeline at each of the three isolation locations, the pipeline content was re-routed through the new 8” bypass, ensuring that production was always maintained. Each BISEP then completed a series of seal tests to verify full integrity of the primary and secondary seals to achieve a DBB isolation barrier of the pressurised pipeline. Upon completion of the BISEP seal testing, an isolation certificate was issued and renewed every 12 hrs.
Subsea BISEP Deployment
Flushing, Cutting and Connecting
With the damaged section of pipeline isolated, flushing of the pipeline product was then carried out. A 2” hose was deployed from the vessel and connected by divers to the 2” connection point on the BISEP launcher. A second 2” hose was then connected to another BISEP launcher and the other end tied into the subsea flushing port on the permanent spool. Using a water pump on the vessel deck, the pipeline medium was flushed from the isolated damaged section back into the pipeline.
Once flushing operations was completed, the damaged section was depressurised to the subsea ambient pressure of 6 bar. Divers could then be deployed to cut the pipeline. At each of the three identified cut locations, the coating was removed from the pipeline and diamond wire cutters were used to sever the pipeline. The damaged section of pipeline was then freed from the main pipeline and moved aside. In order to provide a barrier to the marine environment for long term wet storage of the damaged pipe section, STATS supplied three 8” #150 subsea abandonment plugs, which were installed by the divers into the open pipe ends. The mechanically activated abandonment plugs incorporate a set of taper lock grips and a single seal.
Once the damaged pipeline section was removed, the bare ends of the original pipeline was left exposed. To provide a pressure competent termination, STATS supplied subsea mechanical connectors complete with a blind flange that were fitted to the three bare pipe ends. The 8” #300 connectors were overboarded from the vessel and installed to the pipeline by the divers. Once fitted over the end of the pipe, the bolts were torqued to compress the internal lock and seal mechanism, which securely grips the outside of the pipe. STATS mechanical connectors provide permanent connection without swaging the pipeline. Upon installation, an annulus test of the cavity between the two internal seals of the connector was completed at 56 bar to confirm the connector integrity. A further internal test of the connector was completed via the body cavity by applying pressure through the BISEP launcher to pressurise the bore of the remaining pipe section.
Following the successful installation and test of the subsea connectors, the BISEP was then hydraulically unset. The BISEP head was retracted back into the BISEP launcher and the slab valve closed. Following a purge of the BISEP launcher to remove any residual pipeline medium, the valve was then subject to testing to ensure pressure integrity. The BISEP flange was then unbolted by the divers and the BISEP was removed and recovered to the surface.
On recovery of the BISEP, the hot tap machine was converted on the vessel deck to allow for the installation of STATS 8” #600 subsea completion plug. The hot tap machine was then redeployed subsea, complete with the completion plug and installed to the slab valve. Flange integrity tests were then completed before the slab valve was opened. The hot tap machine was then used to deploy the completion plug through the valve and into the flange of the hot tap fitting, and secured in place by lock segments that are actuated by the diver. The completion plug was then subjected to pressure testing and monitoring to ensure pressure integrity from the pipeline. The hot tap machine – complete with the slab valve – was then removed from the hot tap fitting, leaving only the STATS completion plug installed. A blind flange was then installed by the diver to provide an additional barrier from the pipeline contents. The same procedure was then repeated at the two other locations, concluding a successful subsea isolation and repair operation.
8in Subsea Mechanical Clamps
Mark Gault, Subsea and EPRS Product Line Manager for STATS Group, said: “This complex subsea pipeline repair project presented many operational and technical challenges. The successful completion demonstrates STATS ability to accommodate complex operations while maintaining high levels of safety at all times.
“STATS range of subsea isolation and intervention equipment provides operators a turnkey service for pipeline repair scenarios and establishes STATS capabilities within the subsea market. We will use the experience and our proven track record of first class delivery of these major projects to seek out other global opportunities for similar subsea contracts.”

[mailchimp_signup][/mailchimp_signup]Results from the weeklong session could mark a turning point in reducing toxic emissions from ocean-going ships, which are steadily escalating due to increasing global trade and poor pollution standards. Fuel and engine emissions reductions benchmarks developed this week are expected to be adopted and finalized by July 2007 for implementation beginning in 2010 by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
Several shipping nations support improved standards, but others beholden to shipping and oil interests could hamper reform of the shipping fleet. Ships carry 90 percent of consumer goods to market and the volume of trade is expected to triple in the next two decades.
“This is a critical time to make drastic cuts in ship smokestack pollution through international standards,” said Teri Shore of Friends of the Earth – US. “With more evidence of people getting ill and dying early due to inhaling diesel exhaust from ships, we hope shipping nations and industry groups will finally get serious about cleaner fuels and engines – and stop putting profits before people and the environment.”
David Marshall, Senior Counsel for the Clean Air Task Force, stated, “IMO must act now while this window of opportunity is still open. Shipping emissions are large and will only grow larger with increasing global trade The techniques to control shipping emissions exist— now the political will to use them must be found. If IMO can’t find it, then individual countries and states will be forced to do so on their own.”
Shipping emissions contribute to substantial human health and environmental problems. People living near ports experience higher levels of cancer, heart attacks, asthma, respiratory illness and other cardiopulmonary problems – as well as premature death. Shipping emissions also contribute to acid rain, climate change, and water pollution by deposition.
By 2020, shipping emissions are projected to exceed land-based emissions in Europe and parts of the U.S.
Ships are estimated to generate almost 30 percent of the world’s smog-forming nitrogen oxide emissions and nearly ten percent of sulfur dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels.
A delegation of international, European Union and U.S. organizations, formally represented at the IMO by Friends of the Earth International, are pressuring the shipping industry to immediately switch to cleaner fuels and put air pollution controls on both new and existing ship engines that will drastically reduce smog-forming emissions and soot from diesel ship exhaust. The coalition includes: Clean Air Task Force (U.S.), Friends of the Earth – Bluewater Network (U.S.), Swedish Secretariat on Acid Rain (Sweden), North Sea Foundation (Netherlands), European Federation for Transport and Environment (Belgium).
Based on current technology and cleaner fuel supplies, environmentalists are urging the IMO to require:
– Reductions of 40 to 50 percent in smog-forming nitrogen oxides and sulfate-forming sulfur oxides by 2010
– Reductions of 70 to 90 percent in smog-forming nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides by 2015.
– Reduced sulfur content in marine fuels to 1.0 percent or less at sea by 2010; and switching to marine distillate fuel of .5 percent by 2015.
– Reduced sulfur content in marine fuels in Sulfur Emissions Control Areas to .5 or less.
– Prohibition on-board incineration in coastal waters.

life: eating healthy on the go eating out
by Mommy Hobbies
In my napsack stash
Well, I don’t know if there REALLY is a right way, but there is a way to go on trips without ruining your intestines or gaining a minimum of five pounds all due to poor food choices.
Our go-to fast food is Subway. My kids know the drill. Cy calls it the “hot chipsy place” because that is the only time he gets to eat Doritos. hah! My poor, deprived children. My favorite sandwich is the Veggie Delight. A stunning 150 calories and 1.5 grams of fat. Mmmhmm.
And thing of things McDoodies (as we all so fondly call McDonalds) just so happens to share the same parking lot as our beloved “chipsy place”. We all boo and hiss as we drive by. It’s more or less a ritual at this point. If you ask my 5 year old why we don’t eat McDoodies, he’ll tell you why. Unashamedly, too.
Now, if there are some of my readers who see nothing wrong with McDoos that’s fine. This just so happens to be one of the many things our home we do.not.do. I have done a lot of research on that particular chain and both my husband and I agree that their food isn’t healthy at all and we choose to put our money elsewhere. Ok, now that that is out of the way.
Subway. It’s a great place to eat when you’re on the road. That is one fast food chain you can find anywhere in the US (and other countries too!). There is also Chipotle’s. That is our other go-to fast food love. Unfortunately, the closest Chipotle’s is an hour and a half away so we don’t get to eat it as often, but on a road trip…we’re so there. In our town there are four big restaurants and then a handful of mom and pop shops.
AppleBee’s, Damon’s, Perkins and Country Cupboard. I can’t speak for any of the others except AppleBee’s. When we eat there, which is few far and in between, I always order rice pilaf and steamed veggies for the kids. It’s about the same price as their kids meal, but MUCH healthier. Most restaurants should have this option available and if you’re eating relatively healthy at home the kids won’t balk when their meal is served. Chocolate milk is a plus, too.
There is so much more to share, but those are just a couple of ways to try and continue the trend while eating on the go. Our family has severe stomach issues if we eat out too much…this was experienced earlier this year when I took the young people of our church to a conference for a couple of nights. Oh, lord. I think it took our intestines a week to forgive us. There wasn’t a Subway close. uhg. We ate as healthy as we possibly could, and still… Just goes to show that your body thanks you for all those dark greens and wonderful low fat foods you give it.
Please, don’t take my word for it, go and research this all on your own. Each restaurant is obligated to have a nutritional guideline for you to look at. Check out what you’re putting into your body. Please.

Over the past several weeks, as the 2019 legislative session has kicked into high gear and the political realities for some of our top priorities have become clear, we’ve begun to hone our positions on hot-button issues.
Among the priority issues is an Assembly bill nominally purported to eliminate the practice of hospital “surprise” billing (this issue is also getting attention at the federal level, with bipartisan proposals in the House and Senate to prevent surprise billing surfacing). That’s a goal that hospitals support; patients should not be worried about things like out-of-pocket costs, their network status, or prior authorization when they are ill or injured.
But a section of this bill proposes something else entirely: the insertion of a state-determined rate-setting mechanism into the health care financing system. Specifically, when medical bills are unpaid, this proposal would allow insurance companies to pay a “default” rate that, in most cases, does not cover the actual cost of care.
As stewards of your hospitals and the resources needed to care for patients and communities, you understand well the significant problems this would create, not only in terms of a direct reduction to resources, but also the long-term problem of generating an unfair advantage for insurance companies when negotiating rates with hospitals.
There are other concerns with this bill, namely that the ban on balance billing would apply to post-stabilization services and that it fails to address conflicts with federal law for patients covered by ERISA plans. While each of those creates its own set of problems, the greatest concern at this time is that establishing a “default” rate for certain unpaid bills is tantamount to state rate setting.
Yesterday, the bill passed a significant procedural step. That’s why our focus going forward will be on eliminating the “default” rate section of the bill while retaining the important patient protections it affords. In doing so, we aim to blend smart policy and savvy politics to find the path to the most favorable outcome for hospitals.

If you’re looking at a landscape, so you’re aware of itself; the landscape while However, not every perceived, each detail of this landscape. Your eyes can see but a passing bug, but you accept him internally, because your conscious concentration elsewhere. Here is a Visual representation to illustrate this: as shown in the picture already receive conscious information, you need to do not necessarily create a Visual concentration on a specific object. The conscious concentration, which takes place entirely in your head is crucial. Listening is not just listening! While you both visually and consciously concentrate on something specific, you bring the observable environment at the same time through your sense organs in experience (unconscious learning). Without hesitation EOG explained all about the problem. So remember whole landscapes, faces, among other things, without having given the concentration of each detail. Through this unconscious learning, you extend your experience, which will increase at the same time your tacit knowledge. Implicit Knowledge is a form of subjective knowledge, what information will include, unconsciously obtained.
While keeping balance, riding a bike, the skateboarding or other similar activities, you control your experience (and constant repetition of the same activity), you don’t need on specific things, such as angle, weight shift, hand gestures etc deliberately ensure such. To be better but in the respective activity, for example when riding a bike or professional, you have to not necessarily in vain try to do always the same through repetition and thus constantly falling down from the bicycle, but strive to find the problem, which does not lead to the desired result, to eliminate it using your conscious concentration. You can try various processes (E.g., different angle), to learn so much unconscious, as possible. In this way, you gain so tacit knowledge. There are also other forms of knowledge, we return to the conscious information. Once you’ve focused on anything in particular, association occurs. Under Association, I define a mechanism that translates recorded information in relation with the information from the experience and compares them with each other.

These past few years we’ve made our annual journey to the land of the Rising Sun, in part for the Interstyle tradeshow in Yokohama, but mostly for the bottomless powder in Hokkaido.
Our main men on the ground over there are Neil Hartmann, from the legendary Cardanchi crew, and our friend Atsufumi Mizuno who always has his camper ready to roll out to wherever the conditions are good.
After a look at the snow forecast, we decided to make our way over to Neil’s House in a less populated area outside of Sapporo. We only had a faint idea of what this area is like, but we figured it would pay off to listen to the local knowledge. Perfection in planning doesn’t always make for a good trip, but having the right people that form a good crew like this is way more important.
May I introduce:
Our friend from Canada, Spencer O’Brien, aka “Panda” or “Japanda”, who joined the trip spontaneously a few days in. It was great to have her in the crew throwing some estrogen in the mix and making us boys keep at least a little bit of manner.
Lars Popp aka “Sponge Popp”: this kid really does his surname justice. With plenty of pop and a skate influenced backcountry style he launched like a rocket off of pillows, blending massive airtime with powerful turns and style.
Christoph Thoreson aka “Pofel”, a snowboard legend from the Robot- Food film days, turned filmer and drone specialist, accompanied us and took charge of the video side of things. Always up for a good laugh and going the extra mile to get the shot, he was an excellent addition to the crew.
Markus Fischer aka “Fischi”. Another legendary shred-head who has seen it all and is always up for a good ol’ adventure! A long-time friend and camera wizard like none other just so happened to be looking for a crew to join in Hokkaido, and we were happy to have a spot open for him.
Aaron Schwartz: a less known fact about this guy, while spending the majority of time behind the lens, he does alright in front of it as well! Also, never short of a funny word, his good vibes were great to have on a trip like this.
And myself, of course.
The first day out we hit up the closest resort near our cabin. Initially it looked pretty decent, but I felt miserable from the flu and jet lag, so in all honesty I was fairly disappointed about the snow conditions after having traveled from so far. I decided to skip some runs and have some ramen and indulge in self-pity, and when the rest of the crew joined me at the restaurant we made the call to head home and save some energy for the upcoming days. Our plan was to scout out a sidecountry zone just a short hike from the top of the resort. That’s when we popped over a back ridge and into paradise! We looked upon an absolutely quiet, untouched winter wonderland with trees set perfectly apart to provide contrast, but not as to get in the way when riding. It looked unreal and was every bit as good as we’d imagined!
From that point on that was our daily business, and let me tell you, business was good! We knew instantly we would be coming back to that spot the following day with fresh legs. The “Back Gully”, as we called it, ended up being one of the main zones we frequently revisited on this trip. We rarely encountered any other folks over there, and each time we went back and took a slightly different way out, we stumbled upon new spots and features. Having such a diverse crew also made it all the more fun to film and shoot.
Our cabin was in the outskirts of a little mountain town known for its onsens (hot springs), so our evenings were often spent bathing and recharging the batteries and then going out to enjoy authentic Japanese food. Our favourite ramen spot was run by an elderly couple, who were the 3rd generation in their family to own and operate the tiny establishment. We also frequented a soup curry spot closer to Sapporo, owned by a small Japanese lady who had decorated her restaurant with all sorts of snowboard memorabilia. She had snowboard movies playing on the TV and always greeted us with the biggest smile (maybe cause she knew we were snowboarders).
While these are all very fond memories indeed, I am honestly a bit ambivalent about doing trips to Japan these days. On the one side, there is some of the greatest powder in the world and a very different, but awesome, culture to experience. However, on the other hand a lot of places are getting painfully crowded with foreigners visiting from all over the world. All of these people, us included, are producing massive amounts of CO2 on these trips and this is clearly not doing the environment any favours.
To some extent these crowds are forming through the glorification of the Japan powder experience featured and hyped up in magazines and videos in recent years. This is making more people decide to travel there on behalf of needs and cravings that might not exist otherwise. So I find myself in a moral dilemma, as it is part of a job I love doing. But it brings obligations with it that are starting to collide with felt growing moral obligations towards mankind and the planet. Informing myself I learned that while individual decisions like transportation choices are important, using your voice in activism and especially political voting in favor of the planet, lead to much broader and larger systemic change.
Anyway the paradox is that after travelling to so many good places and having ridden some of the best snow on this planet, I still enjoy riding close to home the most. The chasing of inner fulfillment by finding the perfect conditions and terrain is great for the moment, but it’s temporary and ultimately leaves one in a place wanting more of what didn’t fully satisfy us in the first place. Which leaves me hungry for more, rather than being content with what we have access to in front of our door steps.
To a certain degree, these trips are even taking something away from my local mountains, because the experiences in bigger and deeper ones make the ones nearby feel insufficient. So before anyone makes the decision to fly to Japan (or anywhere else abroad for that matter), I’d like to point out that there are indeed also some downsides to consider.
First off, there is a fairly brutal 12-hour flight followed by severe jet-lag to deal with, which for me usually ruins two days on the way there and back. That’s four days that could be spent on snow close to home, feeling fresh and having fun with friends. Also take into account that the more popular resorts in Japan are totally packed around peak season, with long lift lines and loud-mouthed foreigners who track an entire resort within 2 hours. On this past trip we did spend a few days in bigger resorts, but the quality of time and snow wasn’t nearly comparable to the times we spent hiking in the backcountry.
In general, I like to support smaller resorts wherever I am for the very same reasons. They usually use less artificial snow, have more affordable ticket prices, and the money goes towards growing the local community, rather than big wealthy corporations who own bigger resorts and make it hard for the small ones to exist.
If you really want to get after the goods and experience true stress less powder and backcountry, small resorts and/or hiking is the key to a fulfilling trip to Japan. The snow is really deep, so bring a pair or snowshoes coupled with a very wide board, or a split-board if you prefer. I would estimate we hiked for about 80% of our turns, and the best days were the ones we put in some extra time to walk out further. The weather was mostly horrible, but it delivered the snow quality we were searching for which has been quite frankly still pretty damn awesome!

New Orleans bounce star Big Freedia has been tapped as this year’s artist ambassador for Independent Venue Week in the United States. Like most artists, Big Freedia launched her hip-hop career in independent venues and continues to advocate for their survival.
“I wouldn’t be here without the independent venue. After performing in local clubs for years, it was the independent venues that were the first to book me to play for audiences beyond New Orleans,” said Freedia in a statement. “Live music is still recovering from a tough few years. We need to support independent venues now more than ever.”
Big Freedia joins past Independent Venue Week artist ambassadors Bartees Strange (2021), The Kills’ Alison Mosshart (2020), Fantastic Negrito (2019), and Prophets of Rage/Public Enemy’s Chuck D (2018), as well as artist ambassadors for the U.K. initiative Wet Leg (2022), Nadine Shah and Portishead’s Adrian Utley (2018), Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood (2014) and more.
Independent Venue Week aims to celebrate and bring recognition to the locally owned live performance spaces that serve as the cultural and economic backbone of major cities and small towns across America. For its fifth year in the U.S., IVW will run from July 11–17 across the country. The 2022 edition of the festival has already secured 270 venues across 167 cities to participate. As Independent Venue Week approaches, Marauder — the firm that runs Independent Venue Week in the U.S. — hopes to reach the 450 shows throughout all 50 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico accomplished in the 2021 edition.
“There are no global artists without independent venues providing the first opportunity for them to shine,” said Marauder senior director of special projects Cecilie Nielsen in a statement. “These businesses are the cultural touchstones of their communities and essential to the global music industry.”
From small rooms to large-capacity spaces, in major cities and small towns, this year’s participants represent the wide variety and personality of independently owned and operated performance spaces. Returning venues include Minneapolis’ First Avenue, Cleveland’s Beachland Ballroom, and Seattle’s The Crocodile as well as first-time participants including NYC’s Brooklyn Made and Philadelphia’s Underground Arts. More venues are to be announced in the coming months.
“Independent Venue Week means more today than ever, it is a celebration of the magic that only happens between artist and audience at a live concert,” said David M Mayeri, CEO of The UC Theatre in Berkeley, Calif. “It takes on a new meaning today because Independent venues pulled together to create community and partnership to survive and thrive again… the yearly t-shirt has come to symbolize a special badge of teamwork we all wear with pride.”
National Independent Venue Association and See Tickets will return as partners in 2022.

The bus was carrying 28 people including the driver.
Police said the crash took place at around 5:00 pm about 28 kilometers (18 miles) north of the town of Tisdale, a trading center in an overwhelmingly agricultural region.
The Saskatchewan league is a feeder system for higher levels of hockey with many graduating to play at US and Canadian colleges and major junior league level, while some go on to the National Hockey League.
The condition of the trucks driver is unknown.
The Saskatchewan Health Authority said on Twitter it was dealing with a "high volume of incoming trauma cases" at Royal University Hospital and St Pauls Hospital, both located in Saskatoon some 250 kilometers (150 miles) away from the crash site.
Victims families were directed to Nipawin Apostolic Church for information and support.
"I cannot imagine what these parents are going through, and my heart goes out to everyone affected by this terrible tragedy, in the Humboldt community and beyond," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted.
The team comprises 24 players, all from Canada, with the youngest aged 16 and the oldest 21.
"Its a horrible accident, my God," Darren Opp, president of the Nipawin Hawks hockey team, told the Globe and Mail. "Its very, very bad.
"Our hockey community is a tight-knit family. We will come together in support of each other in the days ahead, as we mourn those lives lost, remember the injured and support those whose lives are forever changed by this tragedy," it added.
In a country where ice hockey is a national sport, news of the crash sparked an outpouring of grief on social media, with fans and players alike sharing messages of condolences using the hashtag #PrayforHumboldt.
"My entire career Ive looked forward to every bus trip", tweeted Anaheim Ducks defenseman Steven Oleksy.
"Its a place where players can forget what happens on the ice. 2night my heart is in Humboldt."
An online fundraising page set up by a woman listed on social media as a Humboldt resident raised nearly 40,000 Canadian dollars in a matter of hours.
The fatal smash brought back memories of a single vehicle bus crash in December 1986, also in Saskatchewan, that killed four members of the Western Hockey League Swift Current Broncos.
The Swift Current Broncos also shared their condolences.
"Humboldt Broncos weighing heavy in our hearts and minds tonight," the team said on Twitter.

Honolulu’s mayor signed into law a bill which makes it illegal for pedestrians to look at their mobile phones while crossing a street or highway. It is the first major American city to do so.
So-called “distracted walking” has been shown in several recent studies to result in delayed reaction times, and a steep uptick in pedestrian casualites has been noted in recent years.
“We hold the unfortunate distinction of being a major city with more pedestrians being hit in crosswalks, particularly our seniors, than almost any other city in the country,” Mayor of Honolulu Kirk Caldwell told reporters upon signing the bill. The ban will take effect in October, and fines will range from $15 to $100 depending on the nature of the offense.


Effort to extradite Randy Quaid from Canada fails
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) -July 19, 2011 (WPVI) -- A California prosecutor says U.S. officials have rejected a request to seek the extradition of actor Randy Quaid and his wife from Canada to face felony vandalism charges.
Authorities in Santa Barbara have sought the couple's return for months. Senior Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter says the U.S. State Department notified him last week that it would not pursue extradition.
The Quaids were arrested in September in the coastal city and accused of causing more than $5,000 in damage to a home they once owned. They were no-shows at several court hearings and were arrested in Vancouver, where the actor sought asylum from a group he dubbed "Hollywood star-whackers."
Carter says the "Independence Day" actor and his wife can be arrested if they return to the United States.

Oct 30, 2012, 6:16 PM EDT
The White Sox’s 2013 rotation is set to look a whole lot like the 2012 group after all. The team today re-signed Jake Peavy to a tw0-year, $29 million deal and picked up Gavin Floyd‘s $9.5 million option for 2013.
Peavy will make $14.5 million each of the next two seasons, which amounts to a paycut from the three-year, $52 million contract he was on. That deal included a $22 million option for 2013 with a $4 million buyout. Peavy will receive the $4 million buyout in addition to his new contract. His deal also includes a $15 million player option for 2015 that he’ll be able to pick up if he reaches certain marks the next two years.
Peavy went 11-12 and finished ninth in the AL with a 3.37 ERA last season. It was the first time he had made even 20 starts since 2008, so the White Sox are taking quite a chance in re-signing him. Still, many figured he’d get a three-year deal this winter on the open market.
Floyd’s return isn’t something a lot of people would have anticipated a few months ago, but he did have a strong finish on his way to going 12-11 with a 4.29 ERA in 29 starts for the season. It’s possible the team could still trade him this winter. If he sticks, then the White Sox would seem to be set with a rotation of Chris Sale, Peavy, John Danks, Floyd and Jose Quintana.
The White Sox figure to have some interest in re-signing Youkilis, who hit .236/.346/.425 with 15 homers and 46 RBI in 80 games after coming over from the Red Sox. However, since he is the top third baseman available in free agency, there will be plenty of demand for his services. A two-year deal seems likely.
Myers had a 3.12 ERA in 34 2/3 innings as a setup man following a trade from the Astros. He’ll probably go search for a closer gig elsewhere.

Kirinyaga governor Anne Waiguru has advised President Uhuru Kenyatta to focus on finishing the journey he promised Kenyans.
Finish what you promised Kenyans without your partner- Waiguru tells Uhuru
Waiguru hints at advising Uhuru to move on without Ruto
The Governor expressed disappointment at the attacks the Head of State has been receiving adding that Kenyatta has endured a lot.
“We are not saying that we did not agree on the 10-10 presidential term for the two, but at some point, it gets out of hand and you have to finish what you promised Kenyans even without your better half,” She added.
She compared the partnership between Uhuru and Ruto as a marriage which was experiencing problems and should be terminated.
“Sometimes, even if you love your wife, it becomes too much, you need to have mutual respect, respect the hierarchy.
"Uhuru has endured so much, if it was me, I would not stand that abuse,” Waiguru stated.
Speaking in Kirinyaga, she noted that even in marriages people move on and find other partners.
Waiguru stated: “Even if you lose your partner, you do not stay alone, you look for another one and keep life moving.”

Every women long for a silky, shiny, lustrous hair. Almost, each and every women in this universe look for a perfect solution for hair damage or curly, kinky hair. Subjecting a person’s hair to several chemical treatments will leave the hair over-processed, dry and damaged. Salons have so many products and solutions to counter hair damage. One of these solutions is called Keratin Treatment. It is also known as ‘Brazilian hair treatments’. Keratin hair treatments are now the popular choice among women who wants to have soft, smooth, silky and frizz-free hair. Most women swear by these kinds of treatments to give them the healthy and more beautiful looking hair they have always dreamed of. This is considered a revolutionary break through that uses keratin, a natural protein that scientists call a ‘biopolymer’ due to its exclusive structure that is generally present in nails and hair. This is also considered by many women as a ‘miracle straightening treatment’ as it can straighten wavy and frizzy hair without using the usual harsh chemicals that can damage the hair.
Keratin is an exceptionally strong protein which is a key constituent in skin, hair, nails, and teeth. Most of the keratin that people interact with is, in fact, dead. The hair, skin, and nails are all produced from dead cells which the body sheds are new cells push up from underneath. If the dead cells are kept in perfect condition, they will serve as an insulating layer to protect the delicate new keratin below them. Damage to the external layer of keratin can cause skin, hair, and nails to look unhealthy or flaky. On the whole, the thicker the layer of keratin, the healthier the hair or nail is, since the dead cells outside protect the living cells at the center. Keeping the external layer of keratin moisturized will also keep it healthy and prevent cracking and splitting.
The keratin hair treatments must essentially be performed by a trained professional hair stylist in a reputed salon. The hair stylist will explain about what to expect, measure the hair's condition and texture and inform the client of the after treatment effect.
Keratin treatment will take about 1 to 4 hours depending on the length and thickness of the hair.
The protective coating will last just about 3-4 months depending on home care. Though, the less the hair is washed the longer this protective is maintained. It is also essential that sodium free hair care products are used. Swimming in the ocean or pools is also discouraged as salt or chlorine will diminish the life expectancy of the Brazilian Keratin Treatment.
The keratin based hair treatments will restore and strengthen the hair while locking in moisture and leaving it completely frizz free.
Several hair salons offer keratin hair straightening treatment with Brazilian keratin hair treatments being the most popular. On the other hand, according to the Allure Magazine, a famous fashion magazine, some of the most popular Brazilian keratin treatment for hair contains at least ten times more formaldehyde than the 0.2 percent which is considered safe by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel. Currently, the FDA doesn’t regulate this treatment, but they are investigating the safety of the keratin treatments. Hence, before opting for any keratin treatment for hair it is very important to check the formaldehyde content to ensure that it is less than 0.2 percent.
Keratin treatments for hair costs from $300-$500 depending upon the salon.

Federal Judge Orders Georgia's Brian Kemp to Unblock Thousands From Voting

Oprah Stumps For Stacey Abrams In Georgia, Ignores Mike Pence’s “This Ain’t Hollywood” Nattering Nearby
Stacey Abrams, Georgia's Democratic nominee for governor, lashed out against Republican challenger Brian Kemp on Sunday over his office's 11th-hour claim that Democrats had attempted to hack into the state's voter registration system.
Abrams faces off against Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp (R). "I'm here today because of Stacey Abrams", Winfrey said.
Libertarian candidate Ted Metz has 1 percent support, while 2 percent are undecided.
Abrams would be the first black female governor in USA history. It goes on to compare the gubernatorial candidate to a "poor man's Aunt Jemimah" who "white women can be tricked into voting for, especially the fat ones".
"These automated calls are being sent into homes just days before President Trump arrives, reminding voters exactly who is promoting a political climate that celebrates this kind of vile, poisonous thinking", said Abrams' spokeswoman Abigail Collazo. "This is the South. People have been really wonderful and really optimistic about Stacey Abrams".
"I think we've made great progress, particularly at the individual polling stations and with the tabulations of votes", Warner said.
"Stacey Abrams is being bankrolled by Hollywood liberals", Mr Pence said.
More high-profile visits are planned, with former President Barack Obama coming to Atlanta Friday for Abrams and President Donald Trump campaigning Sunday for Kemp.
The Georgia gubernatorial race had already been fraught with a race-laden debate over ballot access and voter suppression. But after her speech, in a sit-down interview with Abrams - reminiscent of the 25-year television run of her daytime television show - she noted they were "just two women from MS".
Kemp told the packed crowd of supporters that the race for governor was a simple choice: one between continued economic prosperity under Republican leadership, or a turn to "socialism" under Democrats. He's banking on running up wide margins outside metro Atlanta and holding most of the GOP votes closer to the city.
Pentagon: 5000 Troops Will Be Deployed To U.S.-Mexico Border
On Sunday, Mr Mattis told reporters that some construction materials were already being moved to the border, including barriers. Already Monday, some 800 active-duty troops were on their way to Texas to "harden the southern border", said Air Force Gen.
Migrant caravan vows to continue march toward U.S. border
The caravan was headed for Tapachula, a city about 37 km (23 miles) north of the Mexico-Guatemala border, the officers told CNN. A growing crowd of Central American migrants is resuming its advance toward the USA border in southern Mexico on Sunday.
Verizon Pixel 3, Best Buy causing some confusion, annoyance
Google didn't reveal the switching between the two South Korean companies for making the display panels of its Pixel 3 models. When asked specifically if this means that they have removed the lock on Pixel 3 phones, they confirmed that to be the case.
Betts delivered food to homeless after Game 2 in Boston
Rodriguez will look to lead the Red Sox to a commanding 3-1 lead in the Fall Classic. "But we're ready to come back tomorrow". Nunez made a dive into first base and jarred himself as Alexander's throw went wild, scoring Holt with the go-ahead run .
Google Relaxes Its Iron Grip on Android
The new fees vary depending on country and device type, and it would apply to devices activated on or after February 1st, 2019. More high-end manufacturers such as Samsung are likely to be able to absorb the cost by increasing the price of their devices.
A maxed-out Mac mini is kinda ridiculous

Okay this is a tutorial on anatomical terms, and it's a basic tutorial which should hopefully help you to understand how different terms in anatomy are used to describe the relative positions different structures in the body.
Firstly, I'm going to talk about the anatomical position. This model here is standing in the anatomical position, you can see he is standing facing forwards with his face looking towards you, his palms are facing outwards and his forearms are supinated, and his feet are facing forward like that. This is the anatomical position, and if I just zoom in a bit on his head, technically speaking, in the anatomical position, the inferior margin of the orbit should be level with the top of the external auditory meatus.
That’s just a technical detail. When you describe anatomical structures, you talk about them with reference to this anatomical position; the little finger is medial to the thumb. You can imagine if, even if the hand is facing the other way, the patient is laying on the bed, upside down standing on their head, whatever, you're always talking about structures relative to the anatomical position.
Firstly I'm just going to talk a little bit about anatomical planes, because people tend to talk about them. They’re three major groups of planes in the human body, the sagittal plane, the coronal plane and the axial plane or the transverse plane - transverse, horizontal, axial are used interchangeably. the sagittal plane is a plane that divides the body into left and right halves. And it runs straight down the middle here.
The coronal plane is oriented vertically and divides the body into anterior and posterior halves. And it runs perpendicular to the sagittal plane, it runs down here. And then the horizontal, transverse, axial, whatever you want to call it, plane, runs as you could probably guess - horizontally, and it divides the body into superior and inferior parts. Just going back to the sagittal plane, the plane that divides the body exactly equally into right and left halves is known as the median sagittal plane.
When you learn about anatomy, or you're reading textbooks or watching these tutorials, you'll hear a lot of terms that are thrown about to help describe the relative locations of structures within the body, like anterior, posterior, superficial, deep, proximal, distal, superior, inferior, rostral, caudal, dorsal ventral. All these kinds of words.
Anterior and Posterior
I'll just run through what these mean and I'll show you a few examples, hopefully you'll be able to remember what these all mean in the future. Anterior and posterior - anterior means closer to the front of the body, and all these terms are relative to the anatomical position, anterior and posterior describe structures relative to the front and the back of the body.
For example, the sternum is anterior to the heart, I’ll just show you that. The sternum here, just zoom in a bit, is anterior to the lungs, it's anterior to the heart, anterior to the vertebrae, or you could say the vertebrae is posterior to the sternum, whatever you like. Anterior and posterior refer to the front and the back of the body.
Medial and Lateral
Medial and lateral means close to, medial is close to the midline, and lateral is further away from the midline. A medial structure is a structure that is closer to that median sagittal plane that I talked about a bit before.For instance, going back to the sternum, dunno why I'm choosing the sternum but, the sternum is medial to the humerus, the sternum is medial to the ribs. medial and lateral just refer to either closer, or further away to the midline. And just going back to the importance of the anatomical position, we would say that the little finger is medial to the thumb, because in the anatomical position, the little finger is closer to the midline.
Obviously you can see that if this model was to turn his palm, so they were facing away from you, then the thumb would be closer to the midline, but we would still say that the thumb is a lateral structure, relative to the little finger, because in the anatomical position that's how it is. Always describe things relative to the anatomical position.
Superior and Inferior
Superior and inferior describe things on the vertical axis, a superior structure is one that is closer to the top, and an inferior structure is one that is closer to the bottom, we could say that the nose is superior to the chest, the nose is superior to the knees, the knees are superior to the feet. That’s what superior and inferior mean.
Superficial and Deep
Another term that is used quite a lot is superficial and deep. Superficial just means close to the surface of the body, and deep means further away from the surface of the body. If I just move, I'm just going to move the slider on the left which is slightly off screen at the moment, and it will move gradually from superficial to deep structures. Going down to the muscle layer, down the bones, and then you can see the organs and moving everything, going from superficial to deep and then back to... where this might be a bit confusing is if you are describing structures on the back, the skin here is superficial but it is posterior.
This is a muscle of the back here, if you're looking at the muscles of the back, the latissimus dorsi is a posterior structure, but it is more superficial than lie underneath it, the serratus posterior inferior is deep to the latissimus dorsi, but it is more anterior than the latissimus dorsi, because relative to the anatomical position it's closer to the front of the body. Superficial and deep are just used to describe things closer to the surface of the body or further away from the surface of the body, the heart is deep to the skin.
Proximal and Distal
The words proximal and distal are also commonly used, especially when talking about the limbs and the digestive tract, or anything, well a lot of things really, but proximal means closer to the trunk or closer to the structure's origin and distal means further away from the structures origin.
If we're just talking about muscles, for instance, the proximal attachment is here, and the distal attachment of the biceps is here. The shoulder is proximal to the elbow. The phalanges are distal to the elbow. proximal and distal refer to a structures origin. If we're talking about the digestive system for instance, I'll just get that up, the digestive system origin, the mouth, is the most proximal part of the digestive system, and oh, didn't mean to click that.
And the anus is the most distal part of the digestive system, we could say that the stomach is distal to the oesophagus. We could say the anus is distal to the stomach; the stomach is proximal to the anus.
Origin and Insertion
With reference to muscles, you often hear the words origin and insertion, the origin is the proximal attachment and the insertion is the distal attachment.
The origin is attached to the unmovable bone, and the insertion is attached to the movable surface of the bone. In the example of the biceps, just look at that, the short head of the biceps - this is the origin, its proximal - i.e. closer to the trunk.
That's the proximal attachment, and the distal attachment, the distal attachment is down here, that's the insertion, and it's inserted on to the bone which moves, and this is the bone which doesn't move, that's the origin and that's the insertion. And it's used for other, as well as the digestive system and muscles, it's used to describe blood vessels, you can say, the, the origin of blood vessels, you could say the radial artery is distal to the subclavian artery, because the subclavian artery is closer to the origin. That’s proximal and distal. we've talked about anterior, posterior, proximal, distal, medial, lateral, superior inferior.
Sometimes you'll hear the words dorsal, ventral, rostral and caudal. In human anatomy, this is usually restricted to use, to being used when referring to the nervous system, in the spine, you may hear of dorsal roots and ventral roots, and here it's referring to posterior and anterior.
Dorsal and Ventral
Dorsal is posterior and ventral is anterior. But in the brain, these words have a slightly different and specific meaning, if I just zoom into the brain; I'll show you what these words mean.
Rostral and Caudal
In the brain you'll hear the words rostral and caudal, rostral is anterior, and caudal is posterior. Dorsal is superior, and ventral is inferior, and that's primarily used in the brain in human anatomy. And then in the spinal cord, dorsal is posterior and ventral is anterior, that's a little bit confusing, but it's useful to be aware of, before you start hearing it and getting confused.
I think I've covered most of the common planes, and the terms to describe location, hopefully that will be useful and you'll remember what these mean when you hear them being used. Thank you for listening.

It seems like ages ago that international singing sensation Justin Bieber was still a young up-and-comer in the music biz. But did you know that it was on True Jackson, VP that he first explored his acting aspirations? That's right, Justin's first-ever TV acting gig was on the set with our very own Keke Palmer! So, for this week's Throwback Thursday, we dug up these oh-so-adorable pics of Justin and the cast from the episode, "True Concert." Check them out!!
Awww, he was cute as a button from the very start! We think these two make great acting partners.
Justin was happy to make his acting debut on Nick, too. Turns out, he's a huge Spongebob fan!
On "True Concert," Keke and the gang pretended to deliver a pizza to Justin's studio. It was totally worth it to get this celeb at their school.
Now that both Keke and Justin are super-celebs, they're due for another on-screen performance together. Don't you think?
Justin performed his hit single, "One Time," on the set of the show. So, to make this Throwback Thursday complete, we brought you the clip! Check it out.
We hope you enjoyed this special edition of Throwback Thursday (Bieber-fied). Check in next week for more throwback clips and pics!

On Monday Night Raw, Ryback ran out and attacked the Wyatt Family as they were involved in a match with the Social Outcasts. There is a chance that he could be officially added to the stable, as WWE had Heath Slater filming a backstage interview claiming that the Big Guy was definitely a part of their crew. It would be an interesting move and would give Ryback a story line to work with.
January 13, 2016
During Monday Night Raw, Lana made her return and reunited with Rusev. When Ryback came out to cut a quick promo on them, the real life engaged couple were given a bit of a surprise. Management instructed the Big Guy to say the line about Dolph Ziggler going all the way without telling Rusev and Lana about it beforehand. This stems from the backstage heat towards the blonde bombshell.
December 1, 2015
It looks like Ryback is actually going to make a return to WWE much sooner than we initially thought. Rumor has it that he is currently in Washington and could be making an appearance on Monday Night Raw. The belief is that he is coming back early because he does not want to lose his spot on the card, which is something that wrestlers frequently do.
August 10, 2015
During the match between Ryback and Luke Harper during Monday Night Raw last night, JBL generated a bit of controversy with some comments that he made. When Harper flew over the ropes, the commentator stated that he looked like a "zombie Eddie Guerrero", which drew the ire of the internet wrestling community, who pounced him with some negative comments through social media. Guerrero still remains very popular with the fans.
February 4, 2015
In an unusual move, WWE opted to hand the microphone over to Ryback on Monday Night Raw and allow him to tell the story of how he became a professional wrestler. Management was said to be inspired by a recent interview, where he revealed to the world that Luke Gallows, who was not mentioned on the televised interview, was the one that saved him from a life of depression and helped him figure out how to get his job back in wrestling.
