One point of interest about the Dragon Zodiart that is hard to make out from that picture. The area that appears to be her mouth is actually a giant eyeball.

I've never noticed the eye before. Anyway, what do you think of Raizon?

minions. On the top left of the scan, you'll see the Enertron-holding tower. Enertron is the power that Vaargas wants to acquire.
Here are scans of some of the robot-monsters fighting the good guys.
These robot monsters for the next Sentai series should be intresting. Any thoughts from you guys?

It's new kaijin of the week time again. It's a three header of
Kamen Rider Fourze
Garo Makai Senki
Garo: Makai Senki
Last week's monsters
The first one is an unknown type of
built by the man in the red mask. It is designed with the intent on fighting horrors, but it is faulty somehow.
The second is a Gouryu called
. It was designed as a defense against Makai Knights.
This week's Horror.
An ancient Horror who can use word characters in her abilities and attacks, using printed words as gates. Due to her vast Makai-related knowledge, Sedinbale is sealed with a Madou Book instead of being destroyed so Makai Priests can gain access to her knowledge. However, breaking Sedinbale's seal, the red-masked man has the Horror help him translate the old Makai script in his possession before allowing the Horror to act on her whim. Being pursued by Rekka and Kouga, Sedinbale takes the body of a young woman who surrounds herself in depraved words before targeting Kaoru. Revealing Kouga's condition with Kaoru present, Sedinbale battles Garo and Rekka before they manage to rip the main character from the Horror's body and seal it into a Madou Book.
Great Insarn:
Insarn's giant robot that she uses to battle the Gokaigers. Like her uniform, Great Insarn is colored green. The torso is designed to resemble her face.
Kamen Rider Fourze
Pegasus Zodiarts
has powerful kicking attacks and attacks students who are training for martial arts. The Kamen Rider Club believes that the true identity of the Pegasus Zodiarts is new class 2-B homeroom teacher Ms. Haruka Utsugi because both have similar fighting styles.
Personal notes:
The first Gouryu and Rigl are the first robotic monsters that I know of that Garo has took on. The first Gouryu was a cool looking robot, looking mix of a chicken, an alien and a mantis, plus it also escaped before Garo could finish it off, so I bet we'll be seeing it again sometime, while Rigl was like a giant mecha-suit for the The red-masked man to pilot, with knights on it's arms with swords and a ever changing head that shoots fireballs, it's crazy but cool. Sedinbeil is a freaky looking Horror, having a solid-head but her body is made out of weird writing and can turn into flying glowing letters to escape or to attack. The Horrors in this series are getting very weird.
Great Insarn is a freaking looking giant-robot, with it's huge metal-claws and having Insarn's face on it's chest. Great design on it though.
The Pegasus Zodiarts, just a repainted version of the Unicorn Zodiarts with a missing horn and wings on it's back. It may look like the Unicorn Zodiarts, but the Pegasus Zodiarts has a different bag of tricks, for one thing while the Unicorn was a fencer, the Pegasus fights with powerful kicks and skills in martial arts, some people might think it's true form is Ms. Haruka Utsugi, the new teacher for the KR club, but I bet it's going to be someone else who has her very fighting style, I guess we'll find out next week, won't we.
Long live the King of Kaijin!

I am absolutely loving Sendinbell. Her design is minimalist, bit creepily so. Plus I can't help but be amused by the fact that Kouga is basically fighting an evil version of Ghostwriter.

This week's newest kaijin.
GARO: Makai Senki:
A mechanized attack-pod piloted by a corrupted Makai Priest.
Rememeber that robot alien/chicken/mantis monster from a couple of weeks ago, well this week had two more of these things, and I now know what they are called, the bird-like
is a member of the Imperial Guards, accompanying Akudosu Gill to the Gigant Horse and becoming the invasion force's new second in command. A cocky and arrogant figure in personality, Dyrandoh loves to have fun and treats his fights like a game. He often spurts out English words in his dialogue and uses the catchphrase, "Choi!" in his sentences. Dyrandoh also carries a giant mallet that he enlarges to execute his Giant Hammer attack. Once Isarn is killed of by the Gokaigers, Dyrandoh proceeds to lead the entire Zangyack armada on the Gokaigers.
Kamen-Rider Fourze:
"Sort of"
Natsuji Kijima is a member of the AGHS rakugo club, who by chance found a Zodiarts Switch that the Libra Zodiarts dropped during a fight with Kamen Rider Fourze and becomes Pegasus Zodiarts. Using his new found power, Kijima begins attacking on any martial artists he finds and defeats them with his powerful kicks. Though the Kamen Rider Club thought the Zodiarts was Ms. Utsugi due to both having the same fighting style and a fan that the teacher confiscated from a rakugo club member, they learn the truth too late as Kijima evolves into the
Cancer Zodiarts
Personal Notes:
I've already talked about the "Tekki" before, although it's great to finally learn it's name. The Attack-Pod used by the evil Priest was an intresting weapon, ramming into it's opponents and powered by dark magic. Although it's not a kaijin, it's still a dangerous opponent for the hero.
Dyrandoh is a great Gokaiger Bad-guy, treating fighting like a game and fighting with a giant hammer. Great design and great personality, that all I have to say about him.
The birth of the Cancer Zodiarts was an unexpected twist for me, for that he is the evolved form of the Pegasus Zodiarts, a kaijin I talked about last week, and a freaking HOROSCOPE none the less. I can't wait to see what this form can do. I can say one thing, the Cancer-Zodiarts could be big trouble for our hero.
Long live the King of Kaijin!

Those Tekki monsters from Garo look very cool, they have a design style that reminds me of Amemiya's older works. I'm glad he can still create something that great looking.

It's kaijin of the week time again.
The last
Emperor Akudosu Gill
is the leader of the Zangyack Empire and the father of Warz Gill. Though an emperor, Akudosu carries the AkudoSword with him nonetheless. After his first Earth invasion was destroyed by first thirty-four Super Sentai teams, Akudosu sends Warz with a second invasion force. However, though the Super Sentai teams were no longer a threat by then, Akudosu sent Damarasu to oversee Warz's actions out of a lack of confidence in his son's abilities. Eventually, he sends two of his Dogormin to deliver the Great Warz for the Gigant Horse crew to use so that the invasion gets back on track. However, when news of Warz's death reaches him, Akudosu arrives to the Gigant Horse with his personal fleet to assume full command of the invasion while making examples out of both the Gokaigers for their crimes while giving Damarasu a chance of redeeming himself for failing to protect Warz. But after seeing the Gokaigers destroy Damarasu, he decides to halt the invasion and refocus his full attention on the pirates by calling all Zangyack forces to Earth.
Once his forces are gathered, using Insarn to weaken the Gokaigers, Akudosu proceeds to send the entire fleet down to Earth with the intent of killing the pirates and executing planetary genocide. But when Gokai Red and Gokai Silver manage to ram into and take control of the Gigant Horse with the Free Joker, and proceed to wipe out the entire invasion fleet surrounding it before sinking it, Akudosu battles the Gokaigers, putting up a tough fight and withstanding most of their attacks. However, Akudosu is finally destroyed by the Gokaigers using Gokai Galleon Buster's Rough Wave at point blank range. With both Akudosu Gill and Warz Gill dead, the remaining branches of the Zangyack Empire across the universe begin to splinter and dissolve.
Kamen Rider Fourze:
Natsuji Kijima is a member of the AGHS rakugo club, who by chance found a Zodiarts Switch that the Libra Zodiarts dropped during a fight with Kamen Rider Fourze and becomes the Pegasus Zodiarts with a new-found taste for power. Using his new found power, Kijima seeks revenge, while also for fun, on the new 2-B homeroom teacher Ms. Haruka Utsugi for taking his rakugo fan by attacking any martial artists he finds, mimicking her fighting style so the Kamen Rider Club would believe she is the Switcher. However, the club learns the truth before Kamen Rider Fourze Magnet States destroys the Pegasus Zodiarts. However, with the Virgo Zodiarts's help when his Zodiarts form resurrects, Kijima is able to evolve into the
Cancer Zodiarts
, whose skin protected by a hard-spiky shell and armed with sharp and heavy pincers on his left forearm. The Cancer Zodiarts's carapace is strong enough to withstand even direct hits from the cannons of Kamen Rider Fourze's Magnet States unscathed.
Although being the latest and youngest member of the Hororscopes so far, Kijima is shown to retain his arrogant personality and a sharp tongue, openly rejecting Libra's orders in front of Gamou for Kijima to learn from him and since they are now both on the same rank, Kijima insists on being treated as an equal.
Cygnus Zodiarts
has sharp claws on its hands, uses its feathers for multiple purposes, from throwing them around to make a grand entrance to using them as shurikens, and also has powerful kicks that resemble ballet moves. Portraying itself as a hero, the Cygnus Zodiarts obtains a large following of people led by a ballet dancer who uses a point system to judge people like the Zodiarts does. While claiming to be a hero of justice, Cygnus is actually doing what it does to only earn admiration from people, seeing itself as a higher existence that cannot be defied and will attack whoever it sees as an insult to its existence.
GARO Makai Senki:
"Sort of"
is one of strongest Horrors in existence, labeled as Messiah's Fang. Mysteriously killed, the Makai Senate sent a group of three Makai Knights and one Makai Guide to retrieve the monster's corpse. However, as Barago also sought the Horror, Gyanon's corpse was no where to be found by either party. In Makai Senki, it is revealed that Sigma Fudou had stolen Gyanon's corpse as he intends to utilize the Horror's power in his plans to destroy all Makai Knights. To achieve this goal, Sigma needs to translate an ancient writing along with obtaining the pelt of a Spirit Beast to ensure the revived Gyanon is under his complete control.
Personal Notes:
Even since he appeared onboard ship, Emperor Akudosu Gill has a frightening presents, plus he fights with a sword and shoots fireballs from his sholders. Another great Yasushi Nirasawa design and a great villain.
The Cancer-Zodiarts is an intresting villain and a great crab-design to him. I also like his arrogant personality towards the older members of the Hororscopes, and I can wait to see how it turns out with him. The Cygnus Zodiarts is a total unknown, we don't know who is, but we do know why he's doing what he's doing, pride and selfish goals, plus he's an animal-design I don't think we've seen before in Kamen-Rider, a swan. Intresting choice for a kaijin.
Although Gyanon is dead (for now), it still plays an importent part in GARO: Makai Senki, as Sigma Fudou stole it's corpse in an evil plan to bring back to live. I can't wait to see what happens with it. From what I can tell, it looks like a cross between the Devil, a snake and a spider, but that's just my own opinion.
Long live the King of Kaijin!

It's new kaijin of the week time again. This time is just Super-Sentai.
Allow me to introduce the villains and monsters of the new Sentai series,
Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters
is a fictional organization that serves as the antagonists in the 36th Super Sentai Series Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters. Led by the entity being known as Messiah, Vaglass seeks to make the Earth more suitable to machines and seeks to wipe out the human race by tapping into the Energy Management Center's Enetron.
is an entity that formed from the Energy Management Center's main computer after it was infected by a computer virus thirteen years ago. It was sent into sub-space shortly after the incident, but it uses Enter to carry out its new assault on the city for a total take over of the Enetron.
is an android avatar of Messiah who can exist in the main space-time continuum. Enter conducts espionage tactics against the Energy Management Center to obtain Enetron, using it to bring Metalloids to life through his latop. Enter has also shown to be fluent in French.
are Vaglass' robotic foot soldiers created by Enter using a Bugler Card on his computer. They are also capable of piloting giant Bugzords.
are Vaglass's robotic warriors, created when Enter infects a machine with a Metavirus, causing it to morph into a humanoid form.
The Shovelloid, number S-46, is created when the Kaziru ("to bite") Metavirus infects a power shovel. Going on a rampage as his Metavirus is copied and loaded into a Megazord, Shovelloid's hydraulic bucket arm can cause massive collateral damage. He is destroyed by Blue Buster and Yellow Buster.
are giant robots kept in storage at the Vaglass's base of operations. But some of the Megazords are modified after a Metaloid's Metavirus signature is downloaded into a Megazord, reformatting it to possess the same attributes as its source. There are different base bodies of the Megazords, of which
Type Beta
is one that is currently known.
The Shovelzord is created when the Shovelloid's Metavirus is installed in a Type Beta Megazord body. It is sent to destroy the main containment tank of the Enetron, armed with the bucket arm from the Shovelloid as well as a powerful manipulator claw. However, the Shovelzord is destroyed by Go-Buster Ace.
Personal Notes:
This season's Sentai villains & monsters are very intresting. A human-looking main villain who can sprout wires from his fingers and creates the monsters of the week from Earth machines. The Messiah and the Buglers are pretty good as well. But what got me was the gimmic of the monsters, Metaloids are human-sized and have a giant counterpart in the Megazords (yes, that's what the giant robots are called) attacking at the same time. I can't wait to see what happens with these guys during the year.
Long live the King of Kaijin!

It's new kaijin of the Week time again.
Burnerloid, designated B-07, is created when the Moyasu ("to burn") Metavirus infects a gas cylinder. It is designed to create chaos by causing fire while its Metavirus is uploaded into the Type Alpha Megazord.
The Burnerzord is created when Burnerloid's Metavirus is installed in a Type Alpha Megazord body, sent to obtain another Enetron tank.
Kamen-Rider Fourze:
Coma Zodiarts
is a Zodiarts who uses its hair as tendrils. The Switcher's identity is unknown.
GARO Makai Senki:
is a dragon-like Horror that exists within the mind of Barago.
Personal Notes:
The Burneroid & Burnerzord are great designs for gas cylinder-based robots. From what I can tell, Enter has different types of cards to create these robots, nice touch.
Iam not sure what the hell the Coma-Zodiarts is meant to be with it's hair-like tentacles. Pretty weird.
Any GARO fan would know Kokuryu from
"Kiba Gaiden"
, but he makes a TV appearence here, but with a twist. If he get sliced up, he comes apart as a swarm of small metal-orbs with razor-blades on them and he can only be defeated by attacking an orb with a red talismen on it. This movie monster took me completly by surprise. It was one crazy fight.
Long live the King of Kaijin!

Some new Gobusters/GARO: Makai Senki monsters.
Needloid, designated C-48, is created when the Sasu ("to pierce") Metavirus infects a syringe and other pieces of medical equipment. It is used to infect humans with a Vaglass virus to turn them into machines.
The Needlezord is created when Needloid's Metavirus is installed into a Type Beta Megazord body, to bring an Enetron tank into subspace. Go-Buster Ace destroys the Needlezord.
GARO Makai Senki:
The red-masked man uses
, humanoid robots, like the masked man that unfold from small spheres.
is originally a human who Sigma murdered so he can use her corpse in his experiments to create a familiar to serve him.
Magouryu Idea
is able to instantly destroy Horrors and their gates but requires human lives as fuel.
is one of strongest Horrors in existence, labeled as Messiah's Fang. Entering hibernative state and believed to have died, the Makai Senate sent a group of three Makai Knights and one Makai Guide to retrieve the monster's corpse from Akugen Valley. However, Barago also sought the Horror and Gyanon was no where to be found by either party. It is revealed in Makai Senki, that Sigma Fudou had stolen Gyanon as he intends to utilize the Horror in powering up his Magouryu Idea while reviving it with large numbers of human sacrifices. To achieve this goal, Sigma obtains the pelt of a Spirit Beast to ensure the revived Gyanon is under his complete control while infusing Kouga's body and soul into the Horror to complete its resurrection. Though Kouga is freed, Gyanon awakens after Idea's creation, devouring the ultimate Gouryu's maker while merging with machine and becoming the ultimate Horror
Personal Notes:
The Needloid is a creepy robot, using a syringe to turn humans into robots, damn. The Needlezord's a good robot design. Iam still liking that the Megazords have the basic giant version of their human-sized partner.
Starting with the Gouryu robots first, it's good to see what the Gouryujin finally look like, a bunch of killer robots with blades for hands. The Magouryu Idea is freaking huge, starting off a giant sphere then transforming into what looks like a giant beetle, man this is insain!! Not to Gigi, I was not sure what she could do in a fight, but after seeing her action, Iam quite surprised. Able to use poisonous dust and claws on her opponents and splits into three oddly blurred moth-like creatures, weird. The biggest surprise of all was what happen to Gyanon. Remember that giant Devil/snake/spider monster I wrote about a couple of weeks ago? Well, it devoured the main bad-guy Sigma Fudou, and turned into a humanoid freakshow while going to combine with the Magouryu Idea Gouryu in the next episode, this is going to be NUTS people.
Long live the King of Kaijin!

What do you guys think of Yugande from Denji Sentai
is a prideful robot general created by Hinelar whom he admires and unconditionally obeys. Being high-strung, Yugande offers to handle the Megarangers himself. Using a divide and conquer strategy to take out the Megaranger members one by one, Yugande gets Mega Red to fight him in subspace so no one would interfere and nearly kills him before the others manage to breach the barrier. Mega Black is badly injured as they get their teammate to safety. Later, Yugande calls Mega Red out, attacking him in his enlarged form as the others arrive to aid him. Using Galaxy Mega, the Megarangers weaken him with the Saber Electromagnetic Whip before killing him with the Mega Side Cutter. However, Yugande is later rebuilt through the Nejire Circle in a stronger form, Yugande Strong. But as he needs to get used to his upgrade, Yugande remained on the sidelines until the "Ultimate Lifeform" incident, attempting to extract revenge on Mega Red while the monster feeds. Though he manages to destroy Mega Red's Drill Saber and nearly kills him, Yugande is driven off by the Megarangers' Multi-Attack Rifle. Later, he was critically wounded in Episode 30 when Guirail uses him as a shield to protect him from the Super Galaxy Mega's Super Galaxy Knuckle. Yugande has to be modified with various mechanical implants placed on him in order to survive, and is given a better sword called the Dark Crisis, which has three buttons on its handle to activate different attacks such as Dark Blade, Dark Fire, Dark Lightning, and Dark Triple Crisis (all three attacks combined). Yugande uses a special chip to take on a more powerful, red-colored form called
Burning Yugande
. With this new power, Yugande proves to be a difficult challenge for the Megarangers, as he destroys the Delta Mega, badly damages the Galaxy Mega and Mega Winger and nearly destroys the Voyager Machines when he damages the INET moonbase. Yugande, however, meets his end when the Neji reactor inside him is damaged and he is killed by Mega Red.
Long live the King of Kaijin!

Exercise and Physical Activity Ideas
Topic Overview
Aerobic activity raises your heart rate and keeps it up for a while. This increases the amount of oxygen delivered to your heart and muscles. Over time, this kind of activity benefits your heart, your muscles, your mood and self-esteem, and your amount of energy. It can lower your blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, body fat, anxiety and depression, and fatigue.
Finding the right activity
Experts say to do regular moderate activity and/or vigorous-intensity activity.
Here are some ideas for both types of activities. You can boost many of the moderate activities in the left column to a vigorous level by doing them faster or harder.1

Adding variety to a fitness program is a good way to keep motivated.
- Vary the activity. If you are getting bored with walking, try swimming or an aerobics class.
- Vary the place. Try a new route for walking or biking or even a different room for your exercises or stretching. By having several options, you can pick one that suits your mood or schedule.
- Vary the time. Do your exercises at different times and for different amounts of time. If you become bored with your noon walk, try exercising in the early morning or after work or school. Instead of doing one 45-minute session, do three 15-minute sessions.

Raise your hand if you're surprised state Sen. Malcolm Smith was just arrested and charged with attempted bribery. Smith, the former state Senate Democratic majority leader — one of the three most powerful men in Albany — was accused of offering bribes of tens of thousands of dollars to get on the ballot as a Republican in the race for New York City mayor.
Raise your other hand if you were surprised when, just two days after Smith's arrest Tuesday, another Albany politician, Bronx Democratic Assemblyman Eric Stevenson, was also busted on bribery charges.
Why am I not surprised that not one hand went up?
But because we don't have room — and at the rate things are going, there might be more busts by the time you read this — we'll deal mainly with the biggest fish, Smith, from Queens.
It's really no surprise he was arrested because, like too many politicians in Albany, his career has been marked by power grabbing and money grubbing.
Let me count the ways.
Remember that pathetic power struggle that shut down the state Senate for weeks in the summer of 2009?
Smith was in the middle of that — until he was toppled from his leadership post.
Next, he was linked, but not charged, in a bid-rigging scandal for a state contract for the Aqueduct raceway casino.
Federal prosecutors also investigated the spending of a nonprofit development company he founded.
So if we're not surprised about Smith's arrest, his Albany colleagues certainly shouldn't have been, either.
Yet a few months ago, in yet another power grab, a group of "independent" Democrats recruited Smith to join Republicans in a new coalition to control the Senate.
One reason state Sen. Jeffrey Klein, a Bronx Democrat, started the coalition — the Independent Democratic Conference — was because he said he was tired of the scandals and corruption that had plagued Senate Democrats.
Yet after Smith joined, the leadership named him chairman of the Social Services Committee and vice chairman of the Finance Committee, which meant thousands of dollars more for Smith.
C'mon. How many state senators are there to choose from? Couldn't they have found an honest one?
This latest scandal means we're going to hear more talk about how to clean up Albany's act. We'll hear about campaign finance and ethics reform.
After all, 30 state officeholders in Albany have been convicted, censured or accused of wrongdoing in the past seven years, according to the New York Public Interest Research Group. That doesn't include another Bronx Democratic Assemblyman, Nelson Castro, who was caught with Stevenson, but wasn't charged because he's cooperating with prosecutors.
So we can institute all the reforms we want. But we keep electing these scandals waiting to happen. And the people who know them best, their colleagues, keep appointing them to positions of power.
Until we stop electing them, and they stop appointing them, no one should be surprised about yet another scandal.

Utah recently became the latest state to enact legislation that bans schools from deploying social media monitoring firms that require students verify their social media user names and/or passwords. Utah joins Delaware, California, Michigan, and New Jersey in protecting their schools, students, and taxpayers from social media snake oil salesmen who are selling legal liability time bombs.
The Utah legislation appears to have been prompted because of a Time Magazine article that discussed the student-athlete social media policy of one Utah school. This academic institution appeared to require student-athletes sign a social media policy that stated, "To the extent that any
federal, state, or local law prohibits the Athletic Department from
accessing my social networking accounts, I hereby waive any and all such
rights and protections." According to constitutional law expert Professor Phil Closius, this student-athlete social media policy was "clearly suspect". Under Utah's new law (H.B. 100), this policy is not just clearly suspect but against the law.
What does Utah's new law along with similar laws across the country mean for schools? In short, academic institutions need to re-examine their student-athlete social media policies and education programs to ensure compliance with all applicable state and federal laws. Athletic departments need to understand that social media is not just a public relations issue but a serious legal matter that requires the counsel of social media law experts who understand college athletics and NCAA compliance. Drafting and implementing improper student-athlete social media policies may create millions of dollars in legal liability.
Consultants who sell "student-athlete social media monitoring services" to athletic departments are selling legal liability time bombs. Deadspin has already exposed several companies as having no connection to college athletics before starting their "social media monitoring firms". Some companies that are approaching colleges appear to be making material misrepresentations to market their services. For example, how does someone transition from being a health care recruiter to a social media student-athlete compliance and education consultant overnight?
The bottom line is that states across the country are banning schools from being able to deploy firms to monitor and archive their students' personal digital content. These laws may cumulatively save schools around the United States hundreds of millions of dollars in monitoring, legal, compliance, and insurance costs.
In order for social media monitoring services to properly function students must at least verify their social media user names. Absent student verification these services are unable properly work. Furthermore, athletic departments should not be fooled into believing these services are compliant with all state and/or federal laws. In general, these companies also claim their services are educational tools while others claim they want to protect the online reputation of schools and/or students. Has anyone asked those who are approaching schools for their teaching credentials?
It appears that the founders of these companies have no verifiable experience that would lend any credibility to their claims. Consultants who are marketing student-athlete social media monitoring services to athletic departments do not understand social media, NCAA compliance, public policy, or the law; and they apparently care more about making a sale than protecting schools and student-athletes.

Woodford woman to fight fine for leading her horse on a street in a country town
- From: Quest Newspapers
- November 09, 2012
A woman has vowed to fight a $44 fine for leading her horse down a street in the small country town of Woodford.
Judy Wicks was issued the fine last Tuesday following an incident at 9.30am on September 20 when, she said, a car sped past her and her 19-year-old mare Danny.
``I've been riding 41 years and this is the first time I've been booked for riding on the road,'' Ms Wicks said.
``I didn't do anything wrong. Horses have right of way.''
Ms Wicks said she had just crossed the bridge on George St when a car went past at 50-60km/h, ignoring her signal to slow down, causing Danny to jump forward in fright.
Danny, she said, had already been upset by traffic and was ``freaking out''.
The ticket was issued for a breach of Section 301B of the Transport Operations (Road Use Management-Road Rules) Regulation 2009.
It says a person must not ride or lead an animal on a road or road shoulder if it is ``practicable'' not to. The maximum fine is $2200.
Woodford police officer-in-charge Senior Sergeant Jason Renwick said the footbridge was 2.5m wide: more than enough for a horse.
Sen-Sgt Renwick said the law was designed to protect horses and riders from being struck by cars.
``What happens if a car had hit her?''
He said police had also spoken to the car driver about their obligation to give way to a ``restive''
(hard to control) horse.
Ms Wicks said it would have been unsafe to lead Danny across the footbridge.
``If I had crossed it she would have freaked out,'' she said.
Queensland Horse Council president Debbie Dekker said section 303A of the regulation says that if the person in control of a horse holds up their hand drivers are required to pull over and stop.
Mrs Dekker said many riders complained about drivers not slowing as they passed horses.
She said people had been killed because horses had panicked and run into them.
Ms Wicks admitted she had taken Danny out to get her used to traffic.
``She comes from Stony Creek (west of Woodford) and there's no traffic out there,'' she said.

Warning: You might want to don a pair of well-tinted sunglasses before entering �Color Sense,� the inaugural exhibit at Providence�s new ArtProv Gallery. The reason: the show, which was organized by husband-and-wife gallery owners Michele Aucoin and Nick Paciorek, is so drenched in pure, unadulterated color that your eyes may need some time to adjust. (Then again, after the winter we just went through, a sudden blast of lush tropical color might be just what the doctor ordered.)
Paciorek, who�s a talented painter himself, gets things started with a series of bright Impressionist-tinged street scenes. If you�ve ever wondered what Providence would look like if it had been painted by the likes of Monet and Renoir (or more accurately Matisse and Derain during their color-addled Fauvist years) this is your chance. Another standout is Kate Hoyer, an Arizona artist who specializes in animal portraits and flower studies. A gifted painter, Hoyer has a knack for turning almost anything � a bouquet of daisies, a quizzical-looking Chihuahua � into a kaleidoscopic celebration of color and pattern.
�Color Sense� runs through May 15 at the ArtProv Gallery, 150 Chestnut St. (3rd floor) in Providence. For more information, call (401) 641-5182 or visit artprovidence.com.

Immigrants Cautiously Hopeful as Senate Passes Bill
By Miriam Jordan
Under the midday sun, about 200 undocumented immigrants gathered around a screen in downtown Los Angeles to watch the Senate vote. They erupted in cheers after the Senate voted overwhelmingly in favor of the bill.
Among the immigrants glued to the television were Mexicans Maria and Luis Barajas, who sneaked across the border 13 years ago, with their two daughters, who are now 21 and 23. They said the Senate vote brought them hope but that they remained wary of a bill's prospects in the House.
"We came with the hopes of every immigrant – for a better future," said Mrs. Barajas, who hopes to open a hair salon if she gets legal status.
Until suffering a back injury, she worked nine years for a curtain manufacturer. Without a Social Security number, she says, it has become difficult to find another job.
"Today is the first step toward becoming whole," said Mrs. Barajas, 43 years old, who has started taking English classes at a community college to ensure she meets every necessary requirement to qualify for permanent legal residency. "I know we have to continue the struggle."
Under the legislation, the majority of immigrants would be eligible for legal permanent residency, or green cards, in 10 years, after border security has been beefed up with 24-hour drones, 20,000 new border patrol officers and 700 miles of fence. The immigrants must also have paid fines and fees, learned English and passed background checks.
Mr. Barajas, 45, who is a carpenter specialized in custom cabinet-making, says he works as an independent contractor without benefits for a large developer.
The family have been using individual taxpayer identification numbers, or ITINs, to pay taxes. But they were denied a home mortgage because they lack Social Security Numbers, he said.
"That's all we need — a nine-digit number," said Mr. Barajas in fluent English. "Passage of a bill will open new doors for us to show how much we can contribute to this country."
"We dream the American dream," said Mrs. Barajas.
Their daughters, Zuleyma and Saira, are college students who have received a work permit and a temporary reprieve from deportation thanks to an Obama administration program introduced last year, called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, for undocumented youngsters brought to the country as children. "Our daughters are on their way," said Mrs. Barajas. "Now it's our turn."
Worries in Arizona
In Arizona, where law enforcement and the legislature have cracked down on illegal immigration with arrests and raids, Rosalva Madrigal, 54, cheered passage of the bill. Fear of being stopped by sheriff deputies and then deported have restricted her family's movement in recent years, she said.

"We look forward to the day we can work and live in peace," said the mother of two who immigrated to the U.S. in 2000. Her son, Rodrigo Dorador, who attended Santa Clara University in San Jose, Calif. on a full scholarship, said: "Passage of a bill would provide some grounding for our family and relief from fear that has been present in our lives."Mr. Dorador, 22, has received deferred action from the Obama administration.
The family managed to buy a house in 2003 but has struggled to meet payments as their undocumented status increasingly curbed job opportunities in a state that requires all employers to check the legal status of workers they hire. Mrs. Madrigal has been unemployed for several years. Her husband, Jesus Dorador, who works at a construction-materials company, has been doing freelance welding jobs on the side to supplement the family income.
The immigration overhaul would seek to staunch illegal immigration by requiring that all employers in the U.S. verify that all new workers are eligible to work in the U.S. with an electronic verification system called E-Verify.
Keeping Good Workers
As many as 8 out of 10 agricultural workers are believed to be in the country illegally, according to grower estimates. In the heartland of California agriculture, in the Central Valley, farmers said they were cautiously optimistic about the prospects of a bill passing the House.
"I feel it's a step in the right direction," said David Cox, chief executive of Visalia, Calif. –based L.E. Cooke Co., which grows peach, pear, cherry and ornamental trees, among others, said he was planning to meet with his congressman and other representatives in the House to make the case for an immigration-overhaul package.
Mr. Cox, a fifth generation farmer whose nursery employs about 100 immigrant workers year round and another 160 during the harvest, said he lost more than two dozen workers after an audit by Immigration and Customs Enforcement three years ago.
"They were all good workers; it was one of the worst days of my life terminating them," he said. If an immigration bill passes, he said, "If they get temporary status, I would hire them all back in a heartbeat. I know most of them by name."
Since the audit, L.E. Cooke has been using E-Verify, an electronic verification system, to ensure new hires are legal. But Mr. Cox says that the quality of his workforce has dropped as a result because some of the most experienced workers are undocumented.
Without an immigration bill, "you will cause grievous harm to agriculture. There aren't enough workers to go around," said Mr. Cox. "What's at stake for most of us is our livelihood, for employers and workers."

News & Notes

The principal hailed the test-score gains as a "miracle" - evidence that disadvantaged students could overcome enormous challenges to realize their full potential.
In just two years, the 400 seventh and eighth graders at Theodore Roosevelt Middle School in East Germantown had jumped a stunning 52 points in math on a 100-point scale and 51 in reading on the statewide assessment known as the PSSA. The improvement was the best - by a considerable margin - of any comparable school in the School District of Philadelphia.
At a ceremony in August, Superintendent Arlene Ackerman, then-Gov. Ed Rendell, and other luminaries heaped praise on principal Stefanie Ressler for turning around Roosevelt - deemed persistently dangerous by the state, with nearly nine of 10 students living in poverty and 25 percent needing special-education services.
