How to DJ Using Turntables
To be a DJ using turntables, you first need to know how to use them. To operate with CD and vinyl record is a whole different thing.
1Get equipment! You need at least two turntables and mixer.Ad
2Basic things about turntables:
- Type of record. Record can be LP or Single. On LP you have whole albums and on singles you have 1 to 4 songs on MAXI singles.
- Speed of rotation. Speed of rotation is different for LP (33 rpm), and (45 rpm) for singles. In some cases this do not apply.
- Cartridges and Needles (or stylus). Every type of cartridges has its mount type, like P or ½ mount. Almost every cartridge has its specific Needle.
- Connection. Connection to the amp can be preamp or amplified in mixer.
3Learn how to play records on your turn tables. It is not easy as playing a CD. Learn how to manipulate with music on record.
4Get some records to start with. Buy some from stores or friends, or ask your friends to lend to you some for a time.
5Use the records to DJ the event.Ad
We could really use your help!
fruit punch?
stubbed toes?
mango salsa?
bruise removal?
- The rest is similar to how to be a DJ.

O.K., it's not the $30 million, metal-and-glass Condé Nast cafeteria, but: there is laminated glass. There is gleaming metal. It did cost $30 million. And the former chef of the Condé Nast cafeteria will be in charge.
It is the new public cafeteria at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which will soon replace the famously fusty first-floor dining room that has welcomed millions of famished and footsore visitors since 1949.
''What a challenge,'' said Jayson Brown, 33, who left the cafeteria at the Condé Nast Building at 4 Times Square a month ago to start menu planning for the new museum cafeteria, which opens June 17.
''It's a culture shock to work in so much space,'' he added, explaining that the cavernous new commissary and dining room, like some subterranean metropolis in ''The Matrix Reloaded,'' has somehow been carved from the hidden ground-floor recesses of the museum.
The cafeteria, which is beneath the Medieval Sculpture Hall, is expected to welcome about 500,000 diners a year.
For New Yorkers who are overcome by nostalgia, the old cafeteria -- and its companion waiter-service restaurant -- will remain open until June 15. The current facilities will hardly be missed by the Met's staff, though, because the dining areas and kitchen ''were antiquated and inadequate,'' said Deborah M. Winshel, the museum's chief financial officer, who has spearheaded the cafeteria project.
Most visitors have been unaware that the old cafeteria's narrow and outmoded 3,900-square-foot kitchen, in the southeast corner of the museum's first floor at 80th Street, was in ''the worst possible place, if you were trying to get hot food to other locations in the building,'' Ms. Winshel said.
''There has been talk about a new cafeteria forever,'' said Dick Cattani, who heads the food-service operations of Restaurant Associates, which has been the Met's food provider for three decades. ''Museum attendance has grown so much that we outgrew the old kitchen facilities 15 years ago.''
Restaurant Associates, a subsidiary of the Compass Group, also runs the Condé Nast cafeteria, and reassigned Mr. Brown to head the new Met operation. Mr. Brown has also worked with the chef-entrepreneurs Wolfgang Puck and Joachim Splichal.
After the old restaurant is closed, the grand-columned atrium it has inhabited for so long will revert to its originally intended use as a Roman sculpture court. This new exhibition space will be constructed as part of the $100 million renovation of the museum's Greek and Roman Galleries.
The atrium renovation will once again expose the original south-facing windows, and their view of Central Park. The court -- officially the Leon Levy and Shelby White Roman Court -- will house sculpture and artifacts, including a restored sixth-century B.C. bronze-and-ivory Etruscan chariot.
The old restaurant and cafeteria were established in 1949 in what was then known as the Pompeian court, designed -- columns and all -- in 1926 by the firm of McKim, Mead & White.
Until 1981, the dining room was known as the Fountain Restaurant because of its principal ornament, the Fountain of the Muses, by the Swedish-born sculptor Carl Milles. The Fountain Restaurant featured an atrium pool in the sunken central area, which ultimately yielded to both a no-name cafeteria and a waiter-service restaurant.
The nearly completed new cafeteria and its kitchen -- tucked away in space once occupied by a conservation laboratory and an art storeroom -- are directly to the west of the main lobby at 82nd Street. Situated one floor down, the cafeteria is at the center of the museum, reachable by both elevators and stairs. It will be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays, and until 8:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, when the museum has extended hours.
The new cafeteria will seat 440 in comparison to the current capacity of 380. The existing 175-seat waiter-service restaurant -- in the sunken area where the fountain and pool used to be -- will be replaced by a new first-floor restaurant, the Petrie Court Café, with waiter service and seating for 130.
The Petrie Court Café, at the western edge of the European sculpture court, will be near a glass wall that faces the Cleopatra's Needle monument in Central Park. The Normandy Panels -- those nautical scenes taken from the grand salon of the ocean liner Normandy that are beloved by many visitors -- have been removed from the northwest corner of the old dining room and will be the principal ornament of the new sit-down restaurant.
The museum will open yet another restaurant, the American Wing Cafe, next year in a sculpture-filled first-floor courtyard overlooking Central Park.
Sleek as it is, the new cafeteria, formally known as the Public Cafeteria, doesn't have the titanium-sheathed éclat of the city's most exclusive cafeteria, the one designed by Frank Gehry for the Condé Nast mothership. But the Met's version incorporates white tiles and mirrored walls, a futuristic, glowing, serpentine glass-block wall and a generous exposure of blondish anigre, a hardwood from Africa.

They are vegan, so people would need to commit to not cooking or having animal based foods in the house.
They have two cats and a chicken (rescue from pot), in its own luxury house and enclosure, (which would need feeding with food supplied).
They have an organic vege garden and fruit trees, depending on season, with food available to use.
The house is not really suitable for small children as it is three levels and the back section is not fenced.
Their son (who is also vegan) lives up the road, and could be contacted with any concerns.

text: The independently produced Tree of Life , written and directed by Terrence Malick (The New World, The Thin Red Line, Days of Heaven), is being shot in Texas on such a tight budget that the two stars, Sean Penn and Brad Pitt, are being required to pay for their own travel accommodations, MSNBC.co m's "Scoop" column reported Monday. The column indicated that the film's production company had arranged to have both Pitt and Penn stay at the same hotel, the Hyatt Lost Pines near Austin, TX, but that "Pitt's people" balked at the $2,000-a-night tab and initially offered to pay $3,000 for the entire one-month's stay -- a figure that the hotel declined. Pitt and Angelina Jolie opted instead to rent a house near the shooting location, the column said.

Victoria's longest list of handcrafted beers is just one reason to trek over the Johnson Street Bridge or hop a Harbour Ferry to this Vic West waterfront pub. Canada's oldest licensed brewpub, Spinnakers relies almost exclusively on locally sourced ingredients for its top-notch casual fare. Opt for the pubby adults-only taproom, with its covered waterfront deck, double-sided fireplace, and wood-beamed ceilings, or dine in the all-ages waterfront restaurant. Either way
you can enjoy such high-end pub grub as mussels steamed in ale, shiitake mushroom and roasted garlic fettuccine, or fish-and-chips with thick-cut fries. You can also sample the house-made fare in the take-away deli and bakery.

After some reasearch...the the Eflite Prop Adapter that bolts to the motor can has a three bolt pattern. The Tacon is four bolt....I'm looking for something like the link I have here...but that will fit the Tacon Big-Foot 60 motor.
http://www.ehobbies.com/eflm1934.html The 4 bolt holes are 17mm center to center and are 3mm in diameter to fit a 3mm bolt. Am I making sense? |

I think your gonna find hobbypartz are exclusive re any of thier motor partz and can only be had thru them, I had a big foot and know the part yor refering to, you might wanna keep trying to contact them or look on thier site, the more I think about it I recall that adaptor going bad on mine and had to buy a new motor, thats what I mean about being exclusive like ford/chevy parts
Oct 12, 2011, 08:19 PM | |
The E-Flite Power 60 has a bare 6mm shaft that extends from the rotating end of the motor and uses a 6mm collet type prop adapter on that shaft according to this link:
http://www.e-fliterc.com/Products/De...60A#quickSpecs That is contrary to what you describe as a "..Eflite Prop Adapter that bolts to the motor can has a three bolt pattern..." The Tacon Big Foot 60 does not have the shaft extending from the rotating and (it extends from the opposite end of the motor) and uses a prop adapter that attaches with machine screws and is supplied with the motor according to this link:. http://www.hobbypartz.com/96m606-big...030-400kv.html The adapter that is supplied with the Big Foot 60 is called a "rotor end prop adpater" and if you can't get one from a dealer you're not likely to find one that will fit as each of those is unique to that brand of motor. There are some rotor end adapters for sale here, but there are no dimensions and you don't know if it will fit (it is intended for another motor). http://www.headsuprc.com/servlet/the...Adapter/Detail Jack |

http://www.valuehobby.com/product_de...39&item_id=408 I'm running a Tacon 110 in my 3DHS 71" slick. It is a 60mm diameter motor and the prop adapter for the 60mm Value Hobby GForce motors fit perfectly. They are usually in stock and the pricing is reasonable. |

Thanks everyone for your advice!!
I did manage to find a small machine shop that is willing to turn an aluminum rotor end adapter to my specifications fo $50.00 A little pricey, but good to know I can go this route if I need to...plus they will drill out the end of my current adapter and thread it to fit a bolt for attaching my P-51 spinner for a $10.00 fee....we shall see how it goes. |

Recently had 6 co-workers in town from Europe. All guys. Place was great as everyone had a nice bedroom and full bath and only two people were in the bunks. They are all full size beds though so its not a big deal. I am 6'5, 240 and i fit ok in it. House is immaculate. Beautiful. Floors are heated. Laundry room very nice. Even the garage is heated. VERY well stocked kitchen. We cooked every night. Hot tub was great. Two porches, each with huge grills. Overhead heaters on way to hottub so you stay warm.
I'd rent again for sure. Place is fantastic. Only a 5 min drive to gondola. Perfect. In seculded area too so full privacy.

Pink Tootsies Baby Shower Invitations I'm very happy with my order. This site was the only site that allowed me to choose my color scheme for the entire product. Other sites only offered the ability to change the color for the lettering, this site allowed me to choose the background color and the lettering, which I love! The paper is nice & sturdy. Speedy delivery, I got my order in less than a week. Happy with the product and the service. I will use this site again.
Love the card
Baby Buggy Baby Shower Invitations Great website! Fun and easy to use! Love the card! Excellent customer service! I highly recommend magnetStreet!
So happy with the beautiful save the date magnet
Artistic Doodles Graduation Announcement Magnets When I first ordered I fell in love with the design we chose that I didn't stop to check for sizes. When the magnets came in I like it but was not happy with the font size. I e-mailed the company and got a response the next day. The person that helped me was so understanding. I was given the choice to make the font larger, but I chose to also enlarge the magnet itself. All I was asked to do was pay the difference for the larger magnet. I asked if I needed to return the smaller ones, but was told that I had paid for those and they were mine to keep. I have since received the new magnets and LOVE them. Thank you so much....
Artistic Doodle Address Labels My son is getting married in May and he and his fiance have chosen a "notebook" theme for their wedding, as they met passing notes in math class in high school. They are using her favorite color, which is orange. I ordered these with their names on them and different messages for different items for the reception - favors, candy bags, etc. She and I have traveled the internet far and wide, looking for items available with notebook themes and orange lettering. Bingo! There Magnet Street was, with exactly what we needed. Perfect!

Ask me why, but all my friends want me to make a Bud Light Lime clone. ug. Well, whatever. It might turn out way better anyway, so I feel like giving it a shot. Does anyone have any recipes for something like this without the lime? I'll just figure that part out myself unless someone has actually tried this before and had results. I still have an ounce of Lime Peel laying around as well as some Orange peel, so I figured I would "dry hop" that stuff or add to the boil or something. Comparing to the Bud Light Lime, here's what I want out of it: I feel like I want more body, a tad more hops to balance out the intense lime flavor of it. Maybe a bit more ABV, but not much. 4.6%? This is meant to be one of those light summertime beers. Any help is appreciated. I'm only on my second 5 gallon batch so I am still referencing the Brewcraft box directions haha!
You could get a bunch of guys together to drink good craft beer and then have them pee in a keg, then add club soda and some lime....sorry I couldn't resist... Seriously, I would do something similar to the Cream of 3 Crops recipe that can be found on this site. I think it is in Ed Wort's signature. I made it from extract early on in my brewing, and with some lime concentrate, it would be similar to, but better than Budlight lime. Crystal clear and almost flavorless to a hoppy beer drinker. If you do a search, there is at least one thread on here that goes detail on the nuances of making this beer. Personally, I like that beer on the right occasion (when I'm going to drink 12+ beers in a day), but given the significant amount of time and money that it takes to brew any beer, I wouldn't waste my time making that one....you can buy it for about what it will cost to make (and save 5 hours of time) and there is no "wow" factor for all your effort....just my 2 cents.
The recipe I was thinking of was Biermuncher's Creme of 3 Crops: OG: 1.040 FG: 1.005 ABV: 4.2% IBU: 13 Mash 90min @152F: 2 lb 6-row, 2 lb flaked corn, 8 oz minute rice Then add: 2 lbs 2 oz Pilsen DME 1oz Saaz @60 mins 1 tsp rehydrated Irish Moss @15 mins / or Whirfloc Tab US-05 @65F or lower You could beef it up with more DME and another hop addition for higher alcohol and a little more flavor.
Maybe I'll just do a blonde ale with some lime...
I'll second Biermuncher's recipe. I brewed it as prescribed but subbed in the San Francisco lager strain (similar lager characteristics at ale temps). With a lime in it I was very much reminded of a corona with lime or a bud light lime, but still a marked improvement over either. Not really my favorite beer in the world, but it sure was a crowd pleaser amongst my BMC drinking friends.
Yup. That's my target audience, ha..
Brew something good and tell them to deal with it. They will drink it. If they complain call them a bunch of wussies. If they can learn to like ****ty beer they can learn to like good beer. Most people don't have to learn to like good beer because it's good, but hardheaded BMCers do. That being said, if you want a lightish beer with lime flavor, I would do a Cream Ale, Blonde Ale, or Kolsch with lime. I am about to try a Lemon Zest Kolsch, we'll see how that goes. Edit: Forget Cream Ale since you're extract. Also, don't be scared of AG. It's easy. Just takes a good burner, a bigger pot, and a cooler. If you can get those, the process is cake.
Actually, I found my variation on Biermuncher's famous recipe...it came out great for what you are looking for. It is a partial mash, but I didn't know what I was doing and basically did a steeping in the bag mash at about 150 degrees for an hour, using my extract pot, rinsed the bag with 170 degree water (sparge) and boiled like a normal extract recipe. It's a good intro to all grain and not much different than what you've been doing for extract, just another hour for the mash, and you get to learn something new. Here's what I did: mini mash in a bag with 3# 2 Row, 3# Flaked Corn, 1# Instant Rice, with water to cover for an hour at 150 degrees. Then rinse and bring to boil, add 3.5# Light/Pale Malt Extract Syrup; hop with .5 Willamette and .5 Crystal at 60min, Whirfloc at 15 min, 1 oz Saaz, .5# honey, .25-.5# Corn sugar/dextrose at flameout. S-05 for yeast. I kegged at 10 days and carbed. It was very drinkable at 3 weeks. OG 1.056, FG 1.015. Review the partial mash sticky and you will be fine.
Great ideas! Thank you all for your input. I think I will do a cream ale (since I have a kit laying around) and see how it is. Adjust for lime if I feel like it could benefit from it. That recipe is exactly what I was looking for, thank you for that, as well as the instructions, extremelyhelpful!

This morning, a young man walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., after murdering his mother in her home, and proceeded to shoot and kill 26 other people, including 20 children, before killing himself.
What else can I say, girls, other than, "How could anyone do such a thing?" I have no answer for that, because I truly can't imagine. But I know we need to talk about it—discuss our grief and our anger and our pain. And then, we need to start talking about change. What can we do for the families? For the victims? For the community of Sandy Hook and Newtown? For our own communities as they wonder if they're next? And what can we do to ensure that something so terrible never, ever happens again?
I don't have answers, darlings, but I do know that talking will help. Talk to your parents and siblings and friends and teachers. Speak honestly and openly. Don't judge others for what they say, just listen and respond. Remember, everyone's opinion is valid and deserves to be expressed, whether you agree with it or not.
If you're having trouble dealing with your grief, please take a look at this post, and talk to a parent, counselor or trusted adult.
Love to you all,

Philip Herbert (5th Earl of Pembroke)
4 Annotations
Shinjinee • Link
Philip Herbert, 5th Earl of Pembroke & 2nd Earl of Montgomery (1620/21-) inherited two earldoms from his father the 4th Earl of Pembroke & 1st Earl of Montgomery. The older earldom of Pembroke was created 1551 for the son of an illegitimate son of an earlier Herbert earl of Pembroke; the later earldom was created 1605. Pembroke's mother was the 4th Earl's first wife Lady Susan de Vere (d 1628/29) a daughter and coheiress of the 17th Earl of Oxford (of the ancient de Vere and a granddaughter maternally of the Elizabethan statesman William Cecil, Lord Burghley. Pembroke's second wife was a Villiers, related to Barbara Villiers, Lady Castlemaine and later Duchess of Cleveland (most prominent mistress of King Charles II). By her he had issue, including the 7th and 8th Earls.
Pembroke succeeded his father 1649/50, and died 11 December 1669. His elder son the 6th Earl (d 1674) was succeeded by a son of his second marriage the 7th Earl (dspm 1683) whose wife was a sister of Charles II's French-born mistress Louise de Keroualle, created Duchess of Portsmouth. [The present earls are descended from this earl's younger brother who became 8th Earl in 1683]. Pepys thus knew of at least five earls of Pembroke & Montgomery.

"not a bad looking laddy"
Well, he must have looked somewhat worse for wear and tear by the time he's mentioned in Sam's diary. After all, the original picture of the 5th Pembroke by Van Dyck was made some time before 1641 - at least 20 yrs in the past by 1661. Nevertheless Van Dyck was known for his accuracy in portraits, so a handsome young aristo indeed...

An even better version of the portrait of the laddy, methinks.

BENEZETTE – During his visit to Elk County on Thursday, Governor Tom Corbett emphasized the importance of public-private partnerships within the state's tourism industry, specifically relating to state parks, visitors centers and more. "I think it's a wave of the future of the industry not just in Pennsylvania, but around the country, where we can get more bang for our buck if we invoke the private community," Corbett said. He added by growing in such partnerships allows everyone to get a better product rather than just relying upon state tax dollars.
George and Dolly Bauer arrived at the Elk Haven Nursing Home Friday morning to load their car with prepared hot meals to deliver to elderly residents through the Meals On Wheels program. George and Dolly have been volunteering their time to Meals On Wheels for over 20 years.

Man Gets Telephone Bill For 'All The Money In The World'
You've had bad phone bills, but you've never had a phone bill asking you for what is probably more money than there is in the whole world...
A Malaysian man, Yahaya Wahib, got a 'final demand' bill for 806 trillion Ringgits, which is about $220 trillion dollars.
He's been told he's got to pay it in 10 days or face prosecution.
Now, we have never counted all the money in the world, so we will have to take what we found on the internet to be true.
On web page:
they calculate that, and this is only in the USA, all the money in the country is $6 trillion.
Mr Wahib has told reporters he is ready to fight the company if they prosecute.
We will be following his progress.

Ryan Phillippe and His Girlfriend Watch Deacon's Weekend Game
Ryan Phillippe brought his girlfriend, Paulina Slagter, to his son Deacon's soccer match in Brentwood, CA, on Saturday. Ryan and Paulina, who is reportedly a student at Loyola Marymount University, have been dating since last December and it looks like they're still going strong. She was also in attendance at a few of Deacon's flag football games over the Summer. Ryan wasn't the only Hollywood star on the field over the weekend, since Mark Wahlberg watched his own son play and Heidi Klum cheered on her kids. Ryan will soon switch gears back to business with the December release of his next film, Straight A's.

Executive Summary
The IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN standards allow multiple non-overlapping frequency channels to be used simultaneously to increase the aggregate bandwidth available to end-users. Such bandwidth aggregation capability is routinely used in infrastructure mode operation, where the traffic to and from wireless nodes is distributed among multiple interfaces of an access point or among multiple access points to balance the traffic load. However, bandwidth aggregation is rarely used in the context of multi-hop 802.11-based LANs that operate in the ad hoc mode.

8 JULY 2014 UPDATE – During the spring legislative session, Equality Now, trafficking survivors and our partners twice traveled to Albany to meet with members of the New York State legislature and urge them to pass the TVPJA, as well as to raise awareness of human trafficking and the need to reform New York laws. While the bill unanimously passed in the Senate, unfortunately, it did not pass the Assembly once again due to larger political issues. However, we remain optimistic that the bill will ultimately be passed and continue to work with our partners and trafficking survivors to advocate for the reform of New York's anti-trafficking laws. Thank you to all of our supporters who joined us in calling on New York to better protect victims of trafficking and hold sex buyers, pimps and traffickers accountable!

Dear Governor Cuomo, Speaker Silver, Senator Klein:
I am writing to request your support of the New York Trafficking Victims Protection and Justice Act (TVPJA, Paulin/Lanza A.2240D/ S.5879B) and urge its passage during the June 2014 legislative session. According to the New York Office of Child and Family Services, thousands of children are trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation in New York annually, yet the sellers and buyers of these children are rarely held accountable.
New York must do better to protect girls and women from trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. Please pass the TVPJA so that penalties for buying sex from a minor are aligned with those for statutory rape; that persons accused of engaging in sex with minors cannot use the defense they did not know the age of the child; that penalties against those who pimp minors will be strengthened; that prosecutors will be able to wiretap pimps; that trafficking survivors arrested for prostitution can use the affirmative defense that they were trafficked; and that the stigmatizing word "prostitute" is removed from the Penal Law. In doing so, New York's law enforcement will have better tools to target and arrest the pimps and buyers who are supporting this multi-billion dollar trafficking industry – instead of focusing their resources on arresting victims.
New York has consistently been at the forefront of anti-trafficking efforts. I encourage you to keep up this incredible effort by taking all legislative and policy measures to pass the TVPJA before the legislative session ends on June 19. Thank you for your attention.

UPDATE 12 NOVEMBER 2014: Fantastic news — Bill C-36 passed in Canada and received Royal Assent on 6 November, which will make it official law on 6 December! Many thanks to all of you who took action! Equality Now and our partners welcome the law's focus on buyers and pimps, and while certain problematic provisions criminalizing the selling of sex remain we hope these are addressed in the future as the law is reviewed. In the meantime, Equality Now will continue to support our partners in Canada to ensure the law is implemented and work toward a culture of equality where women and girls are free from exploitation. Thank you for all of your support!
7 OCTOBER 2014 UPDATE: Great news - On 6 October, Bill C-36 passed Canada's House of Commons. Thank you for all of your support and for writing to lawmakers! The bill now goes back before the Senate to be voted on. Stay tuned for further updates.
9 SEPTEMBER 2014 UPDATE: The bill to reform Canada's prostitution laws, Bill C-36, is making its way through Canada's legislature and is currently in the Senate, Canada's upper house of parliament. In early July, our partners gave powerful testimonies at the House of Commons Justice Committee hearings on the bill, detailing the realities of prostitution and emphasizing that the decriminalization of people in prostitution, combined with the criminalization of buyers, pimps and brothel keepers, is the most effective way to reduce sex trafficking and exploitation (access videos and hearing minutes here). Though the House made changes to the bill, we remain concerned that Bill C-36 still allows criminalization of people in prostitution.
The Senate's Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs is holding hearings on the bill between 9 -11 September. Equality Now and our partners need your support to help ensure that the bill adequately addresses sex trafficking and protects the most vulnerable! Please take part in our social media campaign and call on the key Senators below to ensure that the bill fully decriminalizes people who sell sex, while maintaining criminalization on pimps, brothel-keepers and those who buy sex. During the upcoming hearings, please also watch and support our partners EVE, SexTrade101, and the London Abused Women's Centre when they testify on 10 September (all hearings will be streamed live ). Thank you!
23 JUNE 2014 UPDATE: On 16 June, the government's bill reforming Canada's prostitution laws passed its second reading in the House of Commons and was referred to the Justice Committee (note: bills must undergo three readings and a committee stage in the House of Commons and also pass in the Senate, and then receive Royal Assent before becoming law). The Committee will meet the week of 7 July to hear testimony on the bill. This will be a good opportunity for the bill to be amended to truly protect the human rights of people in prostitution. Please continue to call on the Canadian government to ensure that the bill fully decriminalizes people who sell sex, while maintaining criminalization on pimps, brothel-keepers and those who buy sex.
6 JUNE 2014 UPDATE: Thousands of you called on the Canadian government to introduce a law to better protect women and girls – in line with the Nordic model – and we can report that we're halfway there! On 4 June, Canadian Justice Minister Peter MacKay introduced a bill to reform Canada's prostitution laws. The bill criminalizes those who buy sex, pimps, brothel-keepers and those who advertise another person for prostitution. The government has also pledged C$20 million in funding for support services, with an emphasis on assisting those who would like to exit prostitution. Both measures are vital in helping to rectify the stark gender, race, ethnic and socio-economic inequalities evident in the prostitution industry.
Equality Now and our Canadian partners welcome these measures, but we are very concerned that the bill does not fully decriminalize those who sell sex. While the bill protects people in prostitution from criminal sanctions in many areas, it also maintains some criminalization. We and our partners – including survivors of sexual exploitation, many of whom entered prostitution as children – recognize that, more often than not, prostitution is not entered into out of choice, but rather through lack of choice. Any criminalization of people in prostitution would result in the added punishment, further victimization and increased marginalization of many who are already victims of heinous crimes and human rights violations.
We are working to ensure that Canada enacts legislation that will truly protect the human rights of people in prostitution while preventing future exploitation in the commercial sex industry. Stay tuned for further updates and information on how you can help.
Please join Equality Now and our Canadian partners EVE, Sextrade101, and the London Abused Women's Centre in calling on the government to enact legislation in line with the Nordic Model that will protect the human rights of people in prostitution while preventing future exploitation in the commercial sex industry.

Dear Senator,
I urge you to listen to the survivors of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation advocating for the Canadian government to pass legislation that criminalizes those who pay for sex acts while decriminalizing and ensuring support for women in prostitution – known as the "Swedish" or "Nordic" model. After the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the prostitution laws as unconstitutional, your government has a vital opportunity to better protect people in prostitution, prevent sex trafficking and promote gender equality by joining other progressive countries that have adopted the Nordic model.
The exploitation of women and girls in the commercial sex industry is a human rights violation and a cause and consequence of gender, racial, ethnic, economic and other inequalities. While precise numbers are difficult to obtain, it is clear that the vast majority of those in prostitution are women, and that many enter as children. In addition, women and girls from marginalized communities are overrepresented. As many women and girls are not in prostitution through choice, but rather lack of choice, people in prostitution must not be criminalized, but instead should have access to comprehensive assistance and services.
The Nordic model has been adopted in Sweden, Norway, and Iceland, and is currently being considered by the parliaments of France, Ireland and Northern Ireland. I join Equality Now, EVE (formerly Exploited Voices now Educating), Sextrade 101 and the London Abused Women's Centre in calling on the Canadian government to live up to its obligations under international law, including the UN Trafficking Protocol and UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, to address the demand for prostitution that fuels sex trafficking and to protect people in prostitution by ensuring that Bill C-36:
1. Decriminalizes people in prostitution (i.e. people selling sex), 2. Criminalizes those who pay for sex acts, brothel-keepers, pimps and procurers, and3. Mandates robust funding for services for people in prostitution, including assistance for those who wish to exit prostitution.
Thank you for your attention.
Yours sincerely,

Here's my itenary (Feb10th-16th):Day 1 - arrive Narita, travel to Ueno(our hotel there - Hotel Edoya)Day 2 - trip to YuzawaDay 3 - trip to Hakone/Mt FujiDay 4 - DisneylandDay 5 - Tokyo town(maybe Disneysea)Day 6 - Tokyo townDay 7 - Narita(fly back home)
Question 1: Shall I buy the Kanto pass? since travel to Ueno(fr Narita), Yuzawa, Mt Fuji - all can be used. But maybe Mt Fuji, will go with tour(either Grayline or another). is this Kanto pass worthwhile to purchase, or should we just buy separate tickets?
Question 2: Traveling to Yuzawa, is it easy to go on our own, or better to go with tour packages? Kanto pass give us an offer for the Gala Yuzawa snow resort rentals, etc. http://www.jreast.co.jp/e/kantoareapass/index.html
Question 3: Can the Kanto pass be used for trains in Tokyo, e.g. from Tokyo station to Ueno station? I got the subway map, but looks very confusing with so many lines and private train companies.
As we will be in Tokyo town travel for Day 4 to 6, what train pass is most suitable? SUICA? On last day we will just take the Keisei line fr Ueno to Narita.
Here's wishing all forumers a very Merry X'mas.
The 11th of February is a holiday; consider shifting your Yuzawa trip to a later weekday. Mt. Fuji itself cannot be reached with any JR pass; neither is Hakone. A JR Kanto Area Pass covers a non-JR section of Fuji Kyuko [Fujikyu], which leads to Kawaguchiko, one of the Fuji Five Lakes. Yuzawa can be reached with this pass only when the Gala Option Ticket is taken.
If you choose Kawaguchiko for views of Mt. Fuji, then the combination of JR Kanto Area Pass and Gala Option Ticket can be a good deal.
Day 1 - arrive Narita, travel to Ueno(our hotel there - Hotel Edoya) On last day we will just take the Keisei line from Ueno to Narita.
If your hotel is Hotel Edoya located in Yushima, then Ueno or Keisei Ueno does not sound a good station for it. Ueno-hirokoji (G-15) Station is located nearby, but Ueno (G-16) and Keisei Ueno Stations are located a bit apart, and Ueno Station of JR-East is complicated.
This hotel is within a walking distance from Ochanomizu Station of JR-East. Ochanomizu Station can be reached with a special ticket in a Suica & N'EX package. If you get a one-way version, the one-way cost will be 1500 yen. If you get a roundtrip version, the two-way cost will be 3500 yen. - http://www.jreast.co.jp/e/suica-nex/index.htmlGetting this package, you will not have to make your JR Kanto Area Pass cover your way from NRT to a station near this hotel, so you can use the pass on Days 3 - 5 or on Days 4 -6.
{NRT to Hotel Edoya in Yushima}
Narita Airport or Airport Terminal 2 of JR-East | [Narita and Sobu Main Lines: Narita Express] Tokyo: transfer from the 5th basement to the 2nd floor above the ground, using elevators or escalators | [Chuo Line (Track 1 or 2): Rapid] Ochanomizu: Hijiri-bashi Gate | [walk] Hotel Edoya
I suppose Chuo Line of JR-East can be a better option than Marunouchi Line of Tokyo Metro subway. Marunouchi Line's tracks in Tokyo Station are nearer from / to N'EX tracks of JR-East, but the road from / to its Ochanomizu Station is under Hijiri-bashi Bridge, which you will cross on the way to / from the hotel.
{Hotel Edoya in Yushima to Yuzawa}
Hotel Edoya | [walk] Ochanomizu Sta. of JR-East: Hijiri-bashi Gate | [Chuo Line: Rapid] Tokyo: Shinkansen Transfer Gate for Tracks 20 - 23 | [Jo'etsu Shinkansen] Echigo-Yuzawa or Gala-Yuzawa
One alternative route to Tokyo is: Hotel Edoya -- Yushima (C-13) -- (C-16) Nishi-nippori: transfer: Nishi-Nippori of JR-East -- Tokyo. In Tokyo Station, both JR-East and JR-Central have Shinkansen tracks. Please follow signs for Tohoku, Jo'etsu, Akita, Yamagata and Nagano Shinkansen.
{Hotel Edoya to Tokyo Disney Resort}
Ways to / from Keiyo Line tracks (on the 4th basement of another annex) in Tokyo Station are long. One alternative route to Maihama is: Hotel Edoya -- Yushima (C-13) -- (C-09) Hibiya (H-07) -- (H-11) Hatchobori: transfer: Hatchobori of JR-East -- Maihama.
Accesses within the resort are explained in the following pages. - http://www.tokyodisneyresort.co.jp/en/access/drl/index.html- http://www.tokyodisneyresort.co.jp/en/access/drc/index.html
I've sort of finalised my itenary plan based on your advice. Just a few more advice from you would be good:
Day 1 - arrive Narita, buy SUICA+N'EX & JR Kanto Area Pass, travel to Ochanomizu Sta-Hotel Edoya, or travel to Yushima Sta : which is nearer? The N'EX is only to get from Narita to/from Tokyo Sta, can this ticket still allow us to go to Ochanomizu Sta for free?
Day 2 - Asakusa/Ameyoko/Yurakucho(nite) - all these to use SUICA pass
Day 3 - trip to Hakone/Mt Fuji(guided tour)
Day 4 - Tsukiji Mkt/Harajuku/Shinjuku - can you suggest some areas of interest in Shinjuku/Harajuku where locals like to go? Can we visit Tokyo Metropolitan Building for the night view?
Day 5 - Gala Yuzawa
Day 6 - Tokyo Disneyland (if we travel on JR to Mahaima, we can use the JR Kanto pass for free?)1. Ochanomizu Station (Platform 4)JR Chuo Line - Train towardsTokyo2. Tokyo Station (Platform 3,4)JR Keiyo Line - Train towards Kimitsu3. Maihama StationIs this way ok?
Day 7 - Narita(use JR Kanto Area Pass)
Thank you. Wishing you a Happy New 2013!
