Valentine heat wave

Well I'm back!! haven't wrote a new blog since the restoration of the W Train in New York City on November 7th 2016 so this is my very first blog of 2017.

And speaking of New York City. The city is under a heat advisory with temperatures in the low to mid 90's during the day and mid to upper 70's at night. But today's temperatures in NYC and the Northeast is nowhere near temperatures in the Central Midwest with temperatures there in the 100's but there's one place in particularly that been burning in the 110's and that is Valentine, Nebraska.

The hottest place in the United States is Valentine.

==Place Information==
                         

Valentine is located in northern Nebraska near the South Dakota border. It is a small town with the population near 3,000. Valentine is not that known on the media but it looks like a nice place to stay at the parks and grasslands. Valentine is also known as the Heart City.

==Climate==
The climate in the Valentine area is often sunny and cool to warm. Winters can be cold and dry and summers are hot and sunny. Valentine averages 7-10 days above 100 degrees average summer high temperatures is in the mid 80's to low 90's. It is not too often for the Valentine area and Nebraska to be the warmest place in the United States and it's extremely rare to see Valentine above 110 degrees though this type of heat have been recorded in the past. The hottest temperature recorded was 114 degrees on July 2, 1990.

But with this type of heat make sure to drink a lot of water and cool under an air conditioner.

W Train is Back From a Six Year Hiatus

The "W Train" made its somewhat surprising return as some people would say to the MTA Monday November 7, 2016 after a six year absence due to budget cuts the MTA was dealing with in 2009 and was discontinued along with the (V) train in June 25, 2010. The once Nassau (M) Line became the Sixth Avenue (M) line replace the entire (V) train route expect Second Avenue-Lower East Side and the (Q) train replaced the (W) in Queens. Now over six years forward the (W) train is back looking somewhat strong and rejuvenated as it makes the some route it did in 2004-2010. Survice change is the same for the (W) however the first three trains during morning will run from 86th Street, Brooklyn via Sea Beach Line to Astoria-Ditmars Blvd
and the last three trains will run from Astoria-Ditmars Blvd to 86th Street before midnight. The (N) now and will run express in Manhattan during weekdays and run local during late nights and weekends. The (Q) now and will no longer run in Queens its northern terminal is 57th Street-7 Avenue in Manhattan until December 30 when it will run to 96 Street in Manhattan via the Second Avenue Line. The (R) and and other subway services will remain unaffected.

So you can catch the (W) from Astoria-Ditmars Blvd in Queens to Whitehall-South Ferry in Manhattan from 6:00 a.m to 11:30 p.m Mondays through Fridays and during weekends take the (N) or (R) for alternate service.


AND HAVE FUN RIDING THE W TRAIN.

Virginia Shooting of August 26, 2015

Very sad day for residents in nearby Roanoke, Virginia as a double murder-suicide took place on August 26, 2015.

This former reporter who goes by the name of Byrce Williams who's real name is Vester Lee Flanagan was the suspect of the shooting in Moneta, VA 26 miles east of Roanoke. Vester Flanagan, 41 was a former reporter in WDBJ News said he was racially bulled by his coworkers and his coworkers said homophobic slurs about his sexual orientation. Flanagan, 41 was fired at WDBJ in 2013. He later sued WDBJ for discrimination and he was dissmissed which the company later checked out that none of other workers was racially biased or discriminating other people.  His anger started growing as he believed his coworkers was racist.

WARNING THIS VIDEO MAY BE VERY GRAPHIC FOR SOME VIEWING AUDIENCE.

Around 6:45AM EDT Flanagan shot and killed Alison Parker, 24 and Adam Ward , 27 also a third victim was shot and injured and she's recovering in a nearby hospital.

Alison Parker was 24 years old when the shooting took place. She was engaged to her boyfriend of 9 months.

Adam Ward was the camera man at the scene of the shooting he was 27 years old. 

My thoughts:

Very very heartbroken news I'm very about that Alison Parker and Adam Ward were very good people at what they did at work not very often you hear about a double murder-suicide. There are crazy people out there running wild and that's the way it is. Friends and family heartbroken and devastated about the shooting event my heart goes out to them! 

Real News and Entertainment for July 16 2015

Ok ladies and gentlemen we only got three articles today regarding News and Entertainment for July 16 2015. Today I'll be talking about the Colorado Theater Massacre trial, The Chattanooga, Tennessee shooting which I don't believe is true and a Illinois woman committed suicide in Texas. So ladies and gents sit back and enjoy the News and Entertainment blog.

First I'll be taking about "Today's Shooting in Chattanooga, TN" we all hear this incident is breaking news reported by some news channels "but" did it really happened. It supposed to be that 4 military veterans and one officer was shot and killed. I'd also seen a video about this that witnesses stated what they saw happened and I'd seen the witnesses didn't make much sense telling what really happened. I hear one of the witnesses said that "the shooter was shooting endless shots" and her expression didn't correlate in any fear and the other witness said "it was a scary feeling" and then chuckled I can clearly think that the reporters and anchors pick two people who they think that they could try to be good actresses and pick lines for them to say. Here's the video in detail.

News and Entertainment For July 15 2015

Welcome to News and Entertainment for July 15 2015 this is Anthony who runs the Blog talking about with happen to celebrities, real news, and entertainment around the world. So ladies and gents sit tight and enjoy the afternoon blog! 

The First Story is about rapper DMX. DMX will be in jail for 6 months for failing to pay $400,000 in child support. The rapper's real name is Earl Simmons has been in trouble with the law several times from animal cruelty, drug possession, violating parole, DUI (drinking under influence) and robbery. On July 14 2015 DMX was arrested for not paying $400,000 on child support and is sentenced to 6 months in prison. 

Opinion:

Well my opinion about DMX is that I heard his songs from the 90's and I love some of his songs 

he looks like a cool dude to hang around with. Well we all do bad things at times I hope DMX will get out and change his life around he's 44 and he got time to do so. 

🎵 Ya Gonna let me lose my mind up in here up in here🎵 

Next article is about a robbery in Chris Brown's home in southern California. The time of the robbery was around 2:00AM PDT today 3 armed men force their way to Brown's home and found his aunt they threatened her with a gun and trapped her in the closet. The 3 burglars took money, property and fled. Brown was not home at the time of the incident, he was at a club 10 miles away from the incident. 

My opinion:

Even though I'm not a big fan of Chris Brown I'd hope they find the three armed men who burglarized his home and find justice.
