Intervention in Central Asia
By early September 1992, Tajikistan was in the first stages of a particularly violent and destructive civil war. Some Russian troops were already stationed there, left over from Soviet border contingents whose purpose had been to guard the Tajik-Afghan frontier against weapons and drug smuggling. At the request of the new Tajik coalition government, more Russian border troops were sent. In the beginning these troops were declared to be a neutral force, whose main task was to safeguard important military and industrial installations and to act as peacekeepers. However, soon it became obvious that many of the Russian troops were aiding the pro-Communist rebel forces of former president Rakhmon Nabiev by selling or giving them Russian weapons and military supplies, a fact which was corroborated by Western journalists. Before the end of October 1992, Nabiev's supporters were able to regain control of Dushanbe and to force the resignation of the coalition government. (2) Since then, the Russian troops' main function has been to keep the pro-Communist government, headed by Emomali Rahmonov (Nabiev's successor), in power in Dushanbe, and to try to gain back the rest of the country's territory from those who oppose him.
It is estimated that Rahmonov's government is in control of only about 15-20% of Tajikistan's territory, while the opposition controls approximately 50%. (3) Without the support of Russian military forces, Rahmonov's government would most assuredly collapse. In fact, Moscow still is in virtually complete control of the Tajik economy, because there was not enough time before the civil war broke out to dismantle the old Soviet economic structures in Tajikistan. The old relationships between the Tajik ministries which control the military elements and the KGB, as well as the other Moscow "power ministries," are also still in force. (4) Thus, it could be said that those parts of Tajikistan which are under government control constitute Russia's first post-independence colony.
The Russian government maintained the fiction of neutrality vis-a-vis the civil war in Tajikistan until February 1993, when it pledged quite openly its continued assistance to the Tajik Communists until the end of the century, following the signing of cooperative defense agreements between the governments of Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. (5)
Conceivably, Moscow's initial motivation for becoming involved in Tajikistan's civil war may have been concern for the Russian minority residing in or near Dushanbe. During the demonstrations of 1991, many of the leaders of the various Tajik opposition groups (6) undertook not only to assure Dushanbe's Russian population of their goodwill, but also to appeal for support from that minority in forcing the old Communist government to establish a democracy and to respect basic civil rights. However, as Nabiev and his supporters maintained total control over the media, they were able to portray the members of the opposition as radical Muslims and Tajik nationalists who were hostile to all non-Tajiks (including not only Russians, but Uzbeks, Tatars, Koreans, and others). This frightened many of Dushanbe's Russian population, and caused them to adhere to the Communist government. (7)
The main reason for Russia's support of the Tajik Communist forces, however, has been the preservation of the political and economic status quo in Central Asia as a whole. Moscow's case is that civil strife and economic and political chaos in Central Asia could cause large numbers of refugees to flee to Russia, straining its own economy even further, as well as putting the Russian stake in Central Asian energy resources at risk. Furthermore, Russia still enjoys a fairly lucrative trade relationship with all of the Central Asian republics, due to a number of special commercial privileges, some of which have been embodied in CIS agreements. The potential for Russia's trade with Central Asia and for Russian participation in the development of Central Asia's energy resources looks very bright, but only if the region remains under Russian control.
The alleged danger upon which Russian and many Western politicians harp most often, however, is the threat of the spread of Islamic fundamentalism in Central Asia, via Iran, Pakistan, and, most recently, Afghanistan. It is claimed that Islamic fundamentalism would engender severe civil strife and religious terrorism throughout Central Asia, and then presumably in Russia, were its supporters to gain power in Tajikistan. Therefore, Russia's support of the Tajik Communist Party is interpreted as support for the continued existence of a secular government in Tajikistan which acts as a safeguard against the forces of Islamic fundamentalism.
On a more realistic note, it is also distinctly possible that, had the opposition forces been allowed to take control of the government in Tajikistan, similar opposition groups in the other Central Asian republics might have gained the strength to begin putting real pressure on their own governments to make concessions in the area of human rights and political freedom. Uzbekistan, under Islom Karimov's leadership, would be particularly vulnerable to pressure for democratization, partly due to its geographic proximity to Tajikistan, but also in reaction to Karimov's absolute ban on political opposition of any kind and harsh persecution of all government critics. A free, democratic government in Tajikistan could threaten Karimov's own hold on power.
This is at least one of the reasons for Uzbekistan's intervention on the side of the pro-Communist forces in the Tajik civil war. It is important also to note that many of the members of the Tajik Communist government come from Khujand (formerly Leninobod), a region in northern Tajikistan which borders Uzbekistan and which has a substantial Uzbek population. In fact, under Soviet rule, Tajikistan's leadership traditionally was chosen from among the Khujand elite, many of whom were reputed to be Uzbeks. (8) Therefore, Karimov may see his support of the Tajik Communist government as a way of maintaining Uzbek political hegemony over Tajikistan.
In addition to fearing the twin specters of Islam and democracy in Tajikistan, Karimov has a third cause for worry; namely the dispute over the location of the Uzbek-Tajik border. The origins of this dispute are to be found in the mid-1920s, when the Uzbek SSR first came into being, and the Bolshevik authorities decided to include such ethnically Tajik population centers as Samarqand, Bukhara, and parts of Ferghana within Uzbekistan's borders. These cities and their surrounding oblasts were not only important cultural centers with Tajik majorities, but they also contained fertile land and water sources. Tajik Communist Party members lobbied hard for many years to have these areas returned to Tajikistan, until most of them were executed in Stalin's first wave of purges.(9)
In the early 1990s a small faction of Tajiks once again began to call for the redrawing of the Uzbek-Tajik border, and Tajik national consciousness in Uzbekistan began to grow. Tajiks residing in Uzbekistan started a movement to establish Tajik-language schools for their children and many Tajiks were willing to identify themselves as such on their internal passports. (10) Karimov responded to this movement with repressive measures, viewing it as a source of serious instability and a challenge to his government, especially if it were to begin receiving support from opposition forces in Tajikistan. Lending military support to the leaders of the old Tajik Communist regime, then, was another way in which to ensure that Tajik nationalism and political opposition to the Uzbek government were squelched.
The intensification of the conflict in Afghanistan last fall, with the Taleban's victory in Kabul, alarmed both Russian and Central Asian leaders, and caused them to reevaluate their policies toward the Tajik civil war. The leaders of Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan met at an emergency summit in Almaty in October 1996 in order to discuss ways in which to respond to the Taleban's victory and how to handle further the conflict in Tajikistan. It was decided to send Russian reinforcements to the Tajik-Afghan border, raising the number of troops there to 20,000, as well as to send a Central Asian "peacekeeping force" to the region. (11) Russian and Central Asian leaders have professed fears that the Taleban will not be satisfied with extending its rule over all of Afghanistan, but has designs on Central Asia as well, and could combine its forces with those of the Tajik opposition in order to achieve this goal. President Karimov has admitted to providing General Abdul Rashid Dostum (an ethnic Uzbek who currently controls most of Northern Afghanistan) with "humanitarian aid," supplying his forces with electricity, and is suspected of providing him with military aid as well. (12)
Russia had been driving against the Tajik opposition forces on two fronts: from within Tajikistan itself, but also from Afghanistan, where groups of opposition fighters had established bases from which they launched their attacks against the Tajik government. In September 1996 Russia managed to convince the Afghan President Mohammed Rabbani to sign an agreement on military cooperation against the United Tajik Opposition. A "security zone" was established which would allow Russian border troops to go as far as 25 kilometers across the Tajik-Afghan border into Afghanistan in pursuit of Tajik opposition fighters. Afghan government troops were to attack the Tajik opposition forces from the other side, and catch them in the crossfire. Afghan government troops were also to try to destroy Tajik opposition bases within this "security zone." In return, Rabbani's government was to receive further financial and military aid from Russia, which was supposed to enable his supporters to withstand the Taleban's forces and, at the very least, to maintain control over Kabul. (13) Two weeks later, the Taleban took over Kabul, and, by the end of October, the Russian government had changed its tactics again and was pressuring President Rahmonov to pursue serious peace negotiations with the United Tajik Opposition.
While at present Russia's and Uzbekistan's interests do not appear to be in conflict--both governments are alarmed by the Taleban's advances in Afghanistan, and agree that the civil conflicts in Afghanistan and Tajikistan must be contained--Turkmenistan seems to be pursuing its own path, which could lead to an escalation of conflict for all concerned. Turkmen President Niyazov (a/k/a Turkmenbashi) was the only Central Asian head of state who did not attend the emergency summit meeting in Almaty in October 1996, and so far he is the only one who has not only refused to condemn the Taleban, but has denounced the other Central Asian leaders' criticism of that Afghan movement. Shortly after the emergency meeting in Almaty, a spokesperson for the Turkmen embassy in Moscow also stated that the Taleban had offered security guarantees for the planned construction of a $2 billion natural gas pipeline that is to run from Turkmenistan to Pakistan via Afghanistan. (14) The US oil company Unocal, in partnership with Saudi Arabia's Delta Oil Company, is leading a consortium composed of Russia's Gazprom company, Turkmenistan's Turkmenrusgaz company, (15) and unnamed Japanese and Pakistani partners, to undertake the project. (16) Although Unocal expects the current Afghan conflict and the absence of stable government in Kabul to slow down the process of raising sufficient funds for the pipeline's construction (financial arrangements are expected to be completed in the next three years), company representatives said that they had been in contact with all of the factions involved in the conflict, and had received written agreements from seven of them, recognizing Unocal's leading role in the pipeline construction consortium. (17) Company spokesmen also stated that they would be willing to provide "peace dividends" in the form of humanitarian aid to the various factions involved in the Afghan conflict, in return for their guarantees of the pipeline's safety. (18) The pipeline is to be completed by the year 2000, and is to run from Herat in the northwest to Kandahar in the south before entering Pakistan. (19)
Although there is no evidence that the Turkmen government has directly supplied the Taleban with military aid, the Russian press has claimed that the Taleban entered Kabul on Ukrainian tanks whose point of entry into Afghanistan has been traced to the Turkmen-Afghan border. (20) The Turkmen government has denied these charges vehemently, stating that Turkmenistan is a neutral territory and therefore does not permit arms shipments of any kind across its territory. (21)
Thus, not just Russia, but also Uzbekistan and, most recently, Turkmenistan, are using the civil conflicts in Afghanistan and Tajikistan to try to extend their influence beyond the borders of their own states. Again, there are signs of empire-building in a part of the world that has too often been the battleground for major powers in their grab for hegemony. In this case, however, regional players are struggling over what might seem to be relatively unimportant issues in the eyes of outsiders. Because the interests of these minor powers conflict and they are willing to use military force in order to achieve their goals, and given Russian armed intervention, Central Asia has become a battlefield. In addition there is a potential for Iranian and Pakistani involvement in a region that cries out for development, not warfare.

The issue emerged after the EPA proposed a plan that could lower production targets for biofuels in the so-called Renewable Fuel Standard. Gov. Kim Reynolds says she had phone calls Wednesday with Trump and EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says there's been no decision regarding the RFS. An EPA spokesman says Pruitt doesn't want to take any steps to undermine RFS objectives. Reynolds says a reduction in biofuels production would lead to Iowa job cuts. The issue could test Trump's support in Midwest states where the industry flourished. Copyright 2017 The Associated Press.

So I'm going next week, getting in Monday afternoon and leaving super early Thursday morning. First visit to the city. Other than oppressive heat and humidity I'm expecting to eat some good food.
-Cochon at the counter
-Cure for cocktails
Classic New Orleans Lunch
-Galatoire's or Commander's Palace. I know I asked this before, but if you had to pick one, which would it be?
Cheap, local food:
-Parkway for po'boys
-Willie Mae's Scotch House for fried chicken
-Central Grocery for muffuletta
-CdM for beignets and coffee
-Acme for raw oysters
-Bourbon House for baked oysters. Should I do both Acme (cheaper) and BH (more interesting) or will one suffice? These would be less meal stops than snack ones.
-Hansen's Sno-Blitz for shaved ice
Bars (besides Cure):
-Lobby Bar at Pere Marquette for Chris McMillan. I should note that finding out this guy's schedule has proven next to impossible. Apparently, it's a call the evening of kind of affair.)
-Swizzle Stick
-Arnaud's French 75
-Napoleon House. Is this place worth going to?
-Are there any non-cocktail bars that are cool/divey/cute/interesting that anyone can recommend?
Misc. questions:
-I can't make Kermit Ruffins's Thursday show but his Myspace page lists a weekly Tuesday 6:30 pm show at Bullet's Sports Bar. Not much written about this place. Anyone know anything?
-Are jackets seriously the norm even in the summer at Galatoire's and Commander's Palace?
-At the likes of August, MiLa, Herbsaint, how are they about diners just ordering a couple starters in the dining room? I'm not sure I want to commit to a full meal at any of these pricier spots and might want to visit a couple on a night. Is this frowned upon?
-Is Parkway better for po'boys than Liuzza's?
-Is the Southern Food and Beverage Museum worth going to?
-Any particularly good jazz or blues clubs that have solid tunes regardless of the night?
-Am I missing anything?

The Active Network Stops for Overhaul Following a Decade of Acquisitions
(Page 3 of 3)
Andy George, The Active Network's vice president of technology. "It does represent a shift in spending priorities in that we are spending a far larger percentage on development than we have in the past," Alberga says, but it doesn't mean the company has stopped making acquisitions. The company operates primarily in North America, with a small business in Europe (less than $10 million in annual sales), as well as offices in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore. "Everything we build now is built with internationalization and globalization in mind," Alberga says.
The private company also provided a few numbers that give an indication of the scale of The Active Network's operations:
—45 million: The number of transactions done last year on Active Network systems.
—7 million: The number of unique visitors each month to the company's consumer websites, which include Active.com, eteamz.com, LaxPower.com, and others.
—75,000: The number of customers using Active Network's Web-based services.
—$245 million: Annual revenue in 2009. (The year the company became profitable.)
—$173 million: Annual revenue in 2008.
—44 states: The number of states for which the Active Network's ActiveOutdoors division processes hunting and fishing licenses and/or campground reservations.

Tokyo, Japan (PressExposure) June 05, 2009 -- Tokyo, JapanâYuji Shinohara, a high tech sales executive and internet marketing pro has launched [http://www.yujishinohara.com/], a website that serves as a resource for those thinking about starting an internet marketing business. Shinohara is a degreed design engineer, born and educated in the United States, who moved to Japan 20 years ago to work in high technology sales. Shinohara says that despite a long-term plan and two decades of hard work, it still wasnât enough.
âI was firmly in entrenched in the daily struggle for survival,â Shinohara said. âI spent over 20 years juggling time, and I was starting to feel the burn. I was already thinking of plan Bâin other words, my exit strategyâbecause it was neither fun nor fulfilling any longer. However last year came and I saw my 3-legged investment strategy get pounded. My portfolio consisted of real estate, stocks and cash. The first two took a hit, and I didnât have enough of the third. On top of that, I got the corporate notice that I had been restructured out to cut expensesâdonât forget this is after 20 years of serviceâthe end of last year. I was completely taken off guard by this and was not the least bit prepared. It felt as if I was being set adrift in a life raft, right in the midst of the 100 year storm.â
Shinohara says the feeling was like being on an unguided cruise missileâhe had no control over where he was headed, but the end wasnât going to be good. That feeling of helplessness, combined with a combatively competitive job market flooded by the recently unemployed made him take drastic measures. He decided to change careers, and go into an entirely new direction, this time in network marketing over the internet.
The step was the right one, and has proved to be the salvation for both Shinohara and his family as well. âThis is a viable and legitimate business that you can work from home, and make a lot of money at,â Shinohara, a Wealth Masters International (WMI) financial consultant said. âAnyone can do this. And anyone who has been let goâor who thinks they will beâshould get started. The internet is wide open right nowâthe timing is perfect.â

Gov. Phil Bryant signed House Bill 928 yesterday, and it becomes law July 1.
It says that when a person requests government records, a board or agency can only require reimbursement of costs incurred by the lowest-level employee competent to fulfill the request.
Some agencies have driven up the cost of public records by charging hourly fees for attorneys to examine them.
The Mississippi Center for Freedom of Information and the Mississippi Press Association were among the groups pushing for the change in the interest of open government.

We make versatile and easy to design full-color postcards of our capital. Reliable shipping.
Postcards of Washington DC monuments, museums, statues & memorials are our inspiration.
Travel and exploration have been the cornerstones of Monumental Post's founders lives. Between us we have ventured to 10 countries. In each place, however, we appreciated hearing and seeing home through postcards with friends and family. Our enthusiasm for postcards led us to using postcrossing to exchange postcards and messages from around the world. In these postcard exchanges we always try to share a piece of our home and country, the United States of America. Postcrossing has become a vehicle of international exchange for us.
Our passion for traveling and postcards led to the founding of Monumental Post. Through Monumental Post we provide five unique postcards representing this great country's capital. Each postcard features commissioned paintings on premium paper featuring the Capitol, White House, Jefferson Memorial in bloom, Lincoln and Washington Monuments, or Smithsonian Castle.
All of our postcards are printed in the USA to support small businesses and American products.
We invite you to share in our passion for travel and postcards by purchasing these cheap and beautiful postcards to send yourself, or have Monumental Post do the work for you!
Monumental Post can send any of the five designs to a friend, family member, or loved one around the world, with a beautifully handwritten note from you. We highly suggest sending a postcard to citizens abroad, serving military, veterans, students interested in U.S. history, or any person you care about and want to send a unique message on a piece of art.
We are proud Americans who value the political process and having everyone's voice heard in Washington, D.C. Through Monumental Post we have built a platform for you to send a message to the White House through our Pen Note to Pennsylvania Avenue service. Your message will be sent to the White House on an easy to read postcard. This is important, because messages are read quickly in the government, and postcards provide a quick and efficient way to have your voice heard.
Monumental Post looks forward to having you as one of our customers. We look forward to sending you beautiful postcards, or sending them on your behalf!

Pendulum - AventurineWhat is a pendulum? A healing pendulum is one of the oldest and simplest methods of obtaining information intuitively. a crystal pendulum is a highly reliable communication tool between the subconscious mind and electromagnetic fields of the aura.
The pendulum is also an important tool to assess the status of the seven main energy systems known as chakras. A crystal gemstone is a popular Reiki tool for chakra balancing.
Einstein and Davinci used pendulums with great accuracy. By refining and polishing gemstones into various shapes, the stones became better conduits of intelligence and spiritual enlightenment.
Aventurine is thought to stimulate new growth, repairing heart ache and balancing energies. It is known to be a powerful conduit of wealth, luck and abundance.
The aventurine pendulum has a 7" inch chain with seven stones each representing a chakra. The chain has a lobster claw clasp providing easy removal so the pendulum may be worn as a pendant. The pendulum stone measures 1 3/4" long.

Hi all,
Fist time posting on this site after buying the Fodor'sTravel Japan book, I thought I would be more involved on the site due to the extended trip I am planning for May of 2015 to Japan for 17 days.
I am posting here because I am wondering what would be the best way to see all of Japan in 10 days, should I travel North first or South first? My girlfriend and I of 6 years will be flying into NRT midday.
What are people's opinions on staying in Tokyo for a day or two vs leaving Tokyo and head North or South immediately after a nights rest?
The Trip needs to start and end in Tokyo and also be 10 full days long with 2 half days, one 1/2 day before we adventure Japan and 1/2 day after to prep for Okinawa for the remainder of our trip.
Is there a benefit of going North or South first?
Let me know your thoughts!

10 Day Trip Through Japan (Help needed!)
Hi all,
Report Abuse
Welcome Cameron.
First off, Japan is a very large country and will be impossible to see all of it in 10 days let alone 10 weeks. However, with 10 days, you may be able to get a good introduction to the country. For our first trip to Japan, we spent 3 nights in Tokyo, 1 night in Hakone, and 5 nights in Kyoto, which worked well for us giving our interest in history, culture, temples, gardens, and some time in nature.
What you want to do depends on your interests. Take a look at the guidebook and think about what appeals to you. With more information, we may be able to help you more.
Report Abuse
Forget the idea of seeing all of Japan in 10 days. Instead, focus on what draws you to Japan and choose maybe three locations.
Here is another good resource: www.japan-guide.com

fyi, the first week of May has four holidays - Golden Week - which can impact your travel plans....

Itinerary below!
First I want to thank tripplanner001, Kathie, and Mara for better insight with planning and resources. I am a little surprised with the response time of the posts, they are very quick! Other forums I am in take days for responses.
Somewhat tentative schedule but arrival and departure dates for Japan cannot be changed. Tickets have been purchased to depart on the 9th from US, land in NRT on the 11th. We leave NRT 5:30pm on the 27th for home.
I will try to format the Itinerary like others I have seen in other posts.
I arrive in NRT on Monday, May 11th 3pm.
Monday May 11th: Tokyo. Ueno Park, Tokyo Sky tree for sunset, find hotel, possibly shop. Sleep in Tokyo
Tuesday May 12th: Tokyo. Fish Market early in am, Imperial Palace, east gardens, two-tiered bridge, and Yasukuni Jinja. Sleep in Tokyo
Wednesday May 13th: Hakone. Hakone Hot Springs, Hakone shrine, lake Ashinoko, Gotemba outlet mall. Sleep possily in ryokan in Hakone or head back to Tokyo?
Thursday May 14th: Tokyo/Hakone morning then travel to Yokohama or Shinjuku/Shibuya? Still cannot decide. We want to shop as well and are both young (22 years old).
Friday May 15th: Head to Kyoto in the morning, get hotel set up. Visit East Kyoto, Ginkaku-Ji/Philosopher's path, Higashiyama, Kiyomizu-dera, and Sanjusangendo. Sleep in Kyoto.
Saturday May 16th: Central Kyoto, Imperial Palace and Nijo Castle. Not sure what else to add for this day. Sleep in Kyoto.
Sunday May 17th: South & North Kyoto, Fushimi Inari shrine, Kinkakuji. Sleep in Kyoto.
Monday May 18th: Nara, Isuien Garden, Kasuga Taisha, Todaiji temple. Sleep in Kyoto.
Tuesday May 19th: Osaka, Osaka castle, Abeno Harukas. Should we stay in Osaka for the night instead of Kyoto?
Wednesday May 20th: Himeji, Himeji castle, Kokoen Garden, Mount Shosha. Sleep in Himeji if possible, otherwise Osaka.
Thursday May 21st: Head to Hiroshima. Hiroshima castle, Mazda museum, Peace park. Trek back to Osaka or Tokyo for flight to Okinawa in the afternoon next day
Friday May 22nd: Prep for Okinawa by traveling to city where we will depart the next morning. Half day to explore for whatever city we fly out of.
Saturday May 23rd: Depart Osaka or Tokyo for Okinawa.
Sunday May 24th,25th,26th: Okinawa. Get on flight Midday May 26th to Tokyo and Prep for HOME.
Wednesday May 27th: Head to NRT and Depart NRT 5:30pm.
Overall: 4 nights in Tokyo, 5 nights in Kyoto, 1 night in Himeji or Osaka, Day trip to Hiroshima, 1 night in Tokyo or Osaka again, 3 nights Okinawa, 1 night in Tokyo again, Home.
What was difficult was finding the timing of each place, how long it would take to see each event everyday so I included what I want to try to see.
If days look rushed or empty, suggestions are always welcome. The sleeping locations are still tentative as I haven't looked at train times to see what is easier, to sleep in the same place as visited or to travel back to the bigger city to stay more nights.
Let me know what you think!

It looks like you do not have your flight to Okinawa as yet. I have never been, but it looks like you can fly there from a number of places besides Tokyo and Osaka. I would look into flying from Fukuoka - there are many flights a day at least it looks that way from this:
And Fukuoka is a little more than an hour from Hiroshima by train - n.b. - if you are looking on hyperdia.com for train schedules - use 'Hakata' for Fukuoka....
Then you won't have to backtrack....
Report Abuse
I was thinking Osaka or Tokyo for the cheapest flight because we will be traveling on a budget. I will keep in mind those other places to depart to Okinawa. I was also hoping the tickets would be a little cheaper.
my next step is to impliment the travel schedule with the stops we want to do. That train schedule will help greatly. Thank you!
Report Abuse
You're welcome Cameron. Good to your itinerary take shape. Here are some thoughts:
- It makes more sense logistically to move Hakone to the 14th and stay there for the night. Doing so will give you the opportunity to spend more time in the area the next morning before heading to Kyoto if you choose.
- If you go this route, Yokohama can be visited as a day trip from Tokyo or even on the way from Tokyo to Hakone. Japanese train stations are equipped with luggage storage lockers if you need to drop your bags off.
- Arashiyama in western Kyoto offers a good experience away from the heart of the city and may be worth half a day. Keep in mind that you need to request tickets for the Kyoto Imperial Palace tour well in advance.
I'm unable to comment on your itinerary past Kyoto as I haven't visited those places myself.
Report Abuse
The couple of flights I checked weren't cheaper from Osaka or Tokyo. You need to check the LCC's - low cost carriers that go there. I saw ¥8,000 flights from Fukuoka to Naha on Skymark.
Also if you are flying internationally on ANA or JAL or their partners there are also special domestic flight tickets at about ¥10,000:
I have found the LCC's to have better prices when I have used them. YMMV.
Report Abuse
Oops, it seems Skymark has filed for bankruptcy....sorry...not sure what that means in relation to their flights...but there are other LCC's.
Report Abuse
FWIW, I think your plans for days 15 and 17 are overly ambitious. You might want to think through your priorities in advance so you can adjust your plans on the fly as necessary.
I'm not sure how you would fit it in, but you might want to consider visiting Miyajima when you visit Hiroshima:
Report Abuse
Just noticed you said above you depart on the 9th from the US and land at 3 pm on Monday, 5/11....usually it's one day for a flight from the US because of the time zones, international date line.... Are you going a very roundabout way?
Plus if you land at 3pm by the time you get through Immigration etc. and get into Tokyo it will be at least 5 if not later...
Also you should start thinking about hotels if only to book ones that can be cancelled.
I agree with kja - those two days are pretty busy - Kyoto is quite spread out...
Report Abuse
Mara, if you fly in a westerly direction, it's a two day flight. Crossing the dateline adds a full day going TO Jjapan., but of course you make it up on the way home!
Cameront, what are you planning to do in Okinawa?
Report Abuse
Actually, it's not necessarily true that you arrive 2 days later if flying west. I'm leaving for Japan on a Thursday in April (in the morning) and arrive on Friday at noon on a nonstop from JFK. If I left in afternoon, I would arrive at 4pm on Friday. The OP is probably flying to the west coast and making a connection, leaving late that night and arriving on the 11th. It's often cheaper to do that, but I found the JAL nonstop to be significantly cheaper ... as in half the price of other flights for some reason.
Report Abuse
I agree with you, Doug. I have flown direct to Tokyo from NYC several times. My flight leaves in the am and arrives the next day early afternoon. I just looked at my reservation to confirm. That's why I asked above if OP was taking a direct flight....
Report Abuse
I am not taking a direct flight. My flight is from Minneapolis to San Fran to Hong Kong to Tokyo. It is a little longer than others but I am fine with it. I graduate college on the 8th and drive back home to MN that night and fly out of MN in the morning on the 9th.
As for day 15, 17. That is something I should look at to change. For Kyoto this was where the things I wanted to do do not tell me how long each one takes. I would like to see more, so it may be best to add a few more sights on those days.
For Okinawa we really just wanted to relax. One thing we did want to see was the very large aqua park they have there and also see some of the castles.
Still looking at Okinawa flights, more interested now closer to Osaka or more west/southwest by Fukuoka and such just to save time.
Report Abuse
Thanks for explaining about the flight, cameront...
As far as Okinawa, I have never been so really can't comment much but I believe there are five castles there and four are in ruins:
at least according to above site.
With your limited time, I would not take a trip to Okinawa....there are numerous castles to see on the main islands of Japan, Check the site above - I have seen many of them on my trips. And you can go to any number of onsen towns for relaxation....
But that's my opinion - this is your trip...
Report Abuse
18th and 19th you could stay in Osaka.
20th in Hiroshima
21st or 22nd fly Fukuoka to Naha, later Naha to Tokyo
You could do that, or, something else.
You "will be traveling on a budget" yet you are willing to blow JPY 20,000 each for a side trip to Okinawa. Your trip, your time, your money. If it was my trip, my time, and your money, I would do something else.
Report Abuse
Average 9.9" of rain in Naha in May. Rainy season in Okinawa starts May 8,
so your trip there would be right in the middle of it.
Report Abuse
I agree with Kja, my first thought was that 15th, 16th and 17th are ambitious, to say the least, especially if you're travelling to Kyoto on the 15th too.
By all means, it's worth listing more than you might expect to do, in case you decide to skip something or unexpectedly get through everything, but if you genuinely want to do ALL the things on your list, I think you may tick them off but actually see, experience, enjoy, absorb very little of any of them.
I also agree that with just 2 weeks, best to focus on a couple of regions (Kanto/ Kansai) instead of wasting too much time travelling around in an attempt to cover all of Japan.
Personally, I'd consider an overnight from Kyoto to Hiroshima/ Miyajima (with the night itself spent on Miyajima) and look at other interests in Kansai region instead of Okinawa. But that's just me.
In terms of Osaka, if you enjoy nightlife etc. it may be worth spending one night in Osaka, in or near Dotonbouri area, so you can properly appreciate the nightlife after dinner. It's not much to see in the day around that particularly neighbourhood. And while Osaka was not my favourite destination, there is enough to see and do for a day or two, depending on your interests.
If you want another overnight trip out of Kyoto, look at Koya-san.
Or, for day trips, if you like whisky, a half day trip to nearby Yamazaki to visit the distillery may be of interest.

Accessories for the Downtube Mini
I just ordered a pair of 2009 Downtube Minis and can't wait to get them! I am not a cycling enthusiast, and I realize a lot of the info I am interested in may be scattered throughout other threads. But I thought it might be helpful to start a thread which centralizes information about accessories for the Downtube Mini. Here are a few things I am currently interested in:
Quick-release seatpost rack
Some kind of luggage system for the front of the bike
If you have and are happy with any or all of the the above for your Downtube Mini (and the fold of your bike isn't compromised), can you please share:
1) Where you got it
2) How hard it is to attach - I would prefer to be able to attach it myself with a few basic tools
If you have other accessories for the Mini that increase your enjoyment of this bike, please share info about them here.
Thanks very much. I hope the weather in NYC is good this weekend so we can take our bikes for some good long rides!
Did you check the accessories on Downtube's site? They have a rack that attaches to the seatpost and a short front fender.
have you found the accessories you mentioned above?
i'm also looking for a kickstand, front and/or rear rack for my downtube mini..
I'm going to get some Dahon 16" fenders for my Mini, and I'm going to try to adapt a Dahon rack for the mini. It doesn't have all the places to attach the rack. I've heard that zip-ties or P-clips will do the trick. We'll see.
I have a QR seatpost rack on my Mini, one of the Axiom range, and I find it excellent. Note that in the first picture, you can see the Ortlieb Quick Release attachment for the Office Bag 2 (the briefcase in the other 2 pics). This is not part of the standard rack:
Hey Sammyboy, how does the QR seatpost rack work? Does the entire thing come off or do you leave the clamp on? If so, does that interfere with collapsing the seatpost rack when folding?
Question about accessories: I have two Downtubes, a Mini and an 8H, and I can't find a decent waterbottle system to use with them. Because the downtube to which the cage attaches is close to horizontal, the bottle has to be a snug fit or it flies out. The only bottles I've found that fit are the ubiquitous soft plastic waterbottles with the pull-up spigot. Unfortunately, those bottles when horizontal tend to leak out the seam where the cap screws on to the bottle. Has anyone else had this problem and come up with a decent solution?
No, can't say I have had bottle leakage probs... but I have stopped using the various sugary drinks in favour of plain water; any leakage or drops would leave a sticky mess of dried drops on the bike. Plus I didn't find any advantage to sugary drinks, just disadvantages.
But no constant leakage, just the few drops now and again.
The whole thing comes off, but I tend simply to loosen it to lower the seatpost, then retighten it.
Hi Sammyboy, for the seatpost rack, it looks like you have the QR Tracker LX (http://www.axiomgear.com/product/rac...uct.php?id=147), correct? I was thinking of getting an Ortlieb suitcase to go with it (http://www.outdoorgb.com/p/shuttle_carryon_hardcase/). Do you think this would work with the Mini? I need a decent biccyle-friendly suitcase for weekend/longer trips.
The briefcase I have on there is the Ortlieb Office Bag 2, which I believe uses the same fitting system. It works just fine, and I like it a lot. I don't see any reason why a Shuttle wouldn't. /
sammy, did you get your rack/case in the UK? And I have a different rack and no matter how tight I have it I get side to side wobble - do you ?
Ok, there are gazillions out there, sorry, but interested in the wobble problem. But, btw, I followed your advice to get a mini when in the US and bring home, so glad I did. What a great bike. The mercton is gathering dust, heading ebay way I fear...
Yes, I did buy it in the UK, from Wiggle. My rack developed a wobble too, but I discovered it has about 4-6 screws which hold the actual rack to the beam. I tightened them down, and the problem went away. What might be needed for yours is harder to guess, unless you post a picture?
sammy I have orders a rack like yours, let me try that and get back to you. BTW, whats it like hill climbing with all that stuff, I mean, are there issues keeping the front wheel on the ground ? Am asking because I have a vision of my mini as a 21st century raliegh shopper, putting baskets etc on for carrying heavy cargo locally (ie bottles of beer from aldi, spuds, books from the Oxfam shop etc etc).
Does anyone on this forum have the Downtube Rack Pack Trunk B184 (http://www.downtube.com/product510.html)? I'm not sure what the capacity is (I emailed Yan for the dimensions), but at $35, it's certainly a lot less than an Ortlieb suitcase and may be sufficient for my traveling needs if it's large enough.
yeah I do have a trunk, and here is my analysis.
Good: Price. And in the side pockets of the trunk are mini, but quite spacious panier bags that unfurl. A a real bonus. I was really pleased, thought it good value.
Not so good : And this may be to do with my rack rather than the turnk - the fastenings are velcro two underneath side to side and one end to end. They're not long enough to go under the beam of the rack, but the rack doesn't let me loop any other way. This is the rack, btw, which I bought because it was quite small. If you have a different one it may be OK.
Its a bit adhoc but here are some pics of the trunk, hung over my daughters climbing frame, with the nearest article to hand for scaling:
sorry if this is a bit incoherent, I have consumed from several of the scaling articles. But overall a good deal if you are happy with the fixings.
I didn't have any problems in normal use with the front wheel. There is, however, a very steep hill coming from the station near my house, the only hill where I ever use 1st gear on my IXFS, and on that hill, I had to be conscious of the front wheel. It was completely controllable, but if I'd wanted to pull a sweet wheelie - no problem. With a front rack too (one of the little ones), you could distribute weight better.
cheers sammy. Hmm, frontrack, good idea...
See RHM's bike (I think)
OK, will check. Got the QR rack tonite, now I got to kit it up. The dowtube trunk would do, but all kinds of possibilities open now...
this is my 2009 mini racked, panniered, and beered up. There is more liquid in the panniers - to be honest while I appreciated the gearing when loaded, I felt very much at the limits of tolerances, and will probably get some smaller panniers. Had a bit of rack wobble, as you can see in the rear view picture.
I went to aldi to buy bike stuff, there was nothing I liked but I didn't want to cause offence.
Gus: What blemish is there on your Mini?
I see the downtube mini has no kickstand. I know some1 here already stated once it is folded, you can use the middle thingy for kickstand. But what if u still want a kickstand for unfolded? Any1 here who own a downtube and has a kickstand or know what kickstand out there are compatible with the downtube mini? Links woud be great.
Pretty much all kickstands fit in basically the same way.
You'll want a short one because the wheels are little. (so the bike doesn't topple).
Maybe try Google (I find this clever tool can often answer my queries before pestering everone with questions) with a search using carefully chosen terms like 'kids', 'bike' and 'kickstand'.

A woman has been awarded more than £20,000 in an out-of-court settlement after doctors twice missed her breast cancer, it emerged today.
Pam Walker, 53, was given the all-clear in April 1999 by doctors at the Northern general hospital in Sheffield but was diagnosed with breast cancer a year later after she insisted on undergoing a biopsy.
The grandmother, who may have been able to avoid some of the treatment for the disease if she had been diagnosed earlier, said she wished she had trusted her instincts instead of letting doctors convince her that all was well.
Mrs Walker, of Woodhouse, Sheffield, said: "I was sure there was something wrong when I was first referred to hospital but the doctors convinced me I was okay.
"With hindsight, I wish I'd pushed further and insisted on the biopsy at my first referral, but I thought they knew best."
Mrs Walker first raised concerns with her GP after noticing a lump on her left breast more than six years ago and was referred to the hospital, where she underwent the standard triple test of a clinical examination, mammography, and a fine needle biopsy.
Despite being given the all clear, Mrs Walker continued to have concerns and was re-referred in August 2000.
She then insisted on an open biopsy - a more invasive form of the procedure where an incision is made in the skin, the organ is exposed, and a tissue sample is taken. Despite doctors advising her that it was unnecessary, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Mrs Walker underwent a mastectomy together with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, some of which could have been avoided had her cancer been diagnosed earlier.
She has now been awarded more than £20,000 in an out-of-court settlement with the Sheffield teaching hospitals NHS foundation trust.
Mrs Walker's solicitor, Isabel Lloyd-Jones, said she was pleased a settlement had been reached.
She said: "This kind of case is complex and can be difficult to prove, but it is quite clear that Mrs Walker's condition should have been diagnosed and treated much earlier and it is highly likely that, had that happened, she could have avoided at least some of the treatments."
A spokeswoman for the trust said: "Mrs Walker's was a complex case; however the trust did seek to offer the most appropriate treatment at the time. We have since reviewed our systems to ensure that it is still the case that all patients receive high quality care that is most appropriate for their needs."

The concept and idea of the game was pretty good, but it was very glitchy. You should add an actual gun (like first person) and a reload button so its a more realistic feel. If you add some achievements, difficulties, different types of ducks, and maybe some carnival music this could be a great game!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
It was ok. Wasn't too much fun mostly because it was a pretty hard game. And yea, you should add in achievements, it will make it a game people will come back to play again.

How's that popey-shamey stuff workin' out for ya, father?
The Rev. Feliciano Torres Mofan, 58, was booked into Marin County Jail on suspicion of indecent exposure, soliciting a lewd act and nudity in a state park. He remained in custody Friday night in lieu of $2,500 bail.... On Thursday evening, a plainclothes ranger was walking at Chicken Coop Hill, in the shoreline area off North San Pedro Road, when a man approached and propositioned him for sex, Goering said. Then the man allegedly exposed himself to the ranger. The undercover ranger and another ranger nearby arrested the suspect and identified him as Mofan. When asked for his occupation at the jail, Mofan identified himself as a priest.
The story notes that Father Mofan has been "reduced ministry" since he suffered, er, a stroke back in 1999. And the archdiocese's spokesperson notes with some relief...
"The allegations, which do not involve a minor, come as a surprise to us," the archdiocese said. "The Archdiocese has never been aware of any type of illegal behavior, prior to these charges, by Father Mofan.
No kids raped this time! Nothing to see here! Move along!

Narendra Modi urges PM to help Indian victims of Nairobi terror attack
Narendra Modi has urged Manmohan Singh to use his good office to ensure safety of Indian victims in the Nairobi terror attack.
Ahmedabad: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi has urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to use his good office to ensure safety of Indian victims in the Nairobi terror attack, which has left 69 people dead so far.
In a letter to the PM, Modi said, "I stressfully urge that the central government should use all the resources available to it to provide safety and security to families of those Indians and Gujaratis who are victims of the terror attack."
"Among those killed and injured in the terror attack, Indians are also victims and have lost lives and some of them are also injured. This inhuman act has put many Indian origin family in insecure position and they expect help from Indian government immediately," Modi said.
"When we have been target of such terror attacks, we can understand the pain and suffering of innocent people. It is time to bring together humanitarian forces to fight the war against terrorism," he said.
Reports received here in Gujarat says that at least five people having their origin in the state have been killed and some others are injured in the Nairobi mall terror attack.
"I would like to draw your attention to the fact that large number of Indian and mostly Gujaratis have settled in Kenya," he said in the letter.
The BJP prime ministerial candidate had yesterday spoken to India`s High Commissioner to Kenya and had urged him to help victims of the brazen attack.
Heavy gunfire and loud explosions erupted at Nairobi`s Westgate shopping mall today as Kenyan troops fought Al Qaeda-linked gunmen who were holding hostages after massacring at least 69 people including two Indians yesterday.
The Red Cross said at least 63 people were recorded missing, thought to include hostages as well as those possibly killed or still hiding in the 48-hour-long siege.

The 1990 New York City Waste Composition Study was conducted as a response to Local Law 19 of 1989, which mandated that the City set a recycling goal of 25 percent of the waste stream. The report reflects DSNY's efforts to accurately characterize NYC's waste stream and evaluate existing waste management systems before developing more effective management systems.
The report surveys the methodology developed for the waste composition study; presents a brief description of NYC waste generation and composition; summarizes the results obtained for the residential, institutional, and commercial waste streams; and discusses the solid waste management policy implications.
The study results were used to implement recycling feasibility studies, pilot and demonstration projects, and full-scale facilities, as well as marketing campaigns to promote NYC residential recycling.

Check out the self help center, the link is under the life preserver at the top of this page. In there you will find the guidelines for posting ads. I do think you have to have a website to link to in order to put an ad on here. It doesn't have to be a non-adult site, I don't quite understand that request.Swim
Hey everyone! I am new to this whole forum thing, but not too new to the hobby or anything. I have been trying to post ads on here and other forums. on Another site it has been close to a week since my profile has been approved. And on the erotic review they want me to get a non adultpage ad to use as a link but i dont know where to set one up. Any help for a newbie to get started would be great !!

You need an escort website.There are a few free ones out there you can use to make a website with.I use escort-site.comIts easy to use and once you get it made you can put a TER logo on it and use it to add to your posts every time you post on TER so the guys here can check you out til you start getting reviews.
you get a review, contact admin to have the review linked to your handle. HINT--The review will not be approved if you do not have the TER logo on your website/ad.
"Provider ad posts (and ISO replies) must include a link to either your personal website,**your TER review profile**, or directly to your ad on an escort mall. "Does this mean i have to get a review before i can post ? Or do I just link it to my actual profile?
No you do not need reviews first.Until you get reviews you do not have a TER profile.You need a website with the TER logo on the main page and then you can add that link to all of your posts here so guys can check you out.Plus with a personal website you can add more pics and more information than you can in an actual ad. Even if you start out with just the bare minimum info in a website, its better than not having one and you can add to the website as you go along. Just start with a couple of pics and some basic info like your stats, your location, your rates etc. So when the guys click on the link they get an idea of what you're about and if they are interested in seeing more.
So we can post our website on every post we make on TER? Even if it isn't an ad?
yes you can add your site link everytime you post even regardless of what the post is about.But you have to have the TER logo on the main page of your site or they wont let the post go thru.
On the subject of needing a website, TER will allow you to have a link to an ad on a site like EROS, or similar site. I think even Backpage is allowed but not sure about that.In any case, if you do use a website, be sure it has the right kind of TER link/banner that is described in the Self Help Manual.
your reviews, once you have them. Until you get some reviews, you can post ads, provided you have either a personal website and the TER link on it, or an ad on a escort mall site such as EROS, Backpage, or some other ad site, just not a site that TER considers a competitor.You can put a link to your website when you make a post, using the link box at the bottom of the page where you are writing your post. You can also give it any title you want, and it doesn't have to be your name, it can be anything you want. In fact, you are encouraged to include that link, the exception being when you post a picture on a picture theme day.Swim
should always read. I am sure the boys will point you in the right direction. To place ads here you have to have an ad on an acceptable site such as eros, cityvibe, BP, whatever that can be linked in your ads if you don't have a personal website. I say get a personal website, and put the TER seal on your homepage then just link that...realize, that can take time.

This type of rectangular ga'u container for relics, was worn by men, as the women's rectangular ga'us always have a role as pieces of jewellery and tend to be more decorative that the equivalent men's boxes, from the region of Southern Tibet or Sikkim dating to late 19th to early 20th century.

This is followed by a border of individually stamped three dimensional and applied petals of an open lotus, symbol of purity and spiritual power.
There is a turquoise stone in each corner. The ga'u was worn suspended from the top gadrooned tube which shows signs of extensive wear. The lower decoration is a stylised dorje ornament. There was a loop at the bottom from which hung suspended ornaments, but appears to be now missing.
The Ga'u still has the original copper backing plate, and the colourful traditional Tibetan woven strap is still attached.
The Gau front and side silver sheets have been tested for silver approx 80%.

Amy takes a look at the not-so-recent movies she's watched for the first time in 2016.
Moving right along, here are the next twenty films that made an impression on me in one way or another, providing me with years of entertainment (and nightmares) from the moment I saw them.
Gondry made his own 'fan-made' The White Stripes video when he shot a clip in a steaming bathroom for City Lights.
My favorite 30 new-to-me watches of 2015.
A list of 100 songs, 100 different artists, 100 different albums of music that's labeled 'Chinese.'
Our dear Marya Gates is embarking on an outstanding journey that many of us thought could be impossible- spending 2015 JUST watching films directed, written, co-directed or co-written by women. So I took the chance to make a list because I LUVVVV lists.
According to my count, I watched 581 movies this 2014 and these were my favorite finds :)
Ted Mosby's apparently never-ending story of how he met his kids' mother gets off to a pretty good start thanks to How I Met Your Mother's cast.
I've put together a list of films that you are likely to, at least, be able to enjoy even if you're not sold on musicals.

Personal Injury Lawyer
Being involved in an automobile wreck is often an overwhelming experience. One minute you are going on with life's daily activities, and the next minute it all changes. First there is the issue of the recovering from the injuries you just suffered. Injuries can lead to trips to the emergency room, doctor's offices, physical therapy sessions, and in some cases even surgery. Injuries often lead to missed time from work, which is often the most stressful part of being in an accident.
Then there is damage to your vehicle. That may entail renting another car for a few days while your car is getting fixed, or it may mean having to replace your vehicle entirely.

Jobless benefits fell for the first time in nearly a year in July, amid signs the labour market is stabilizing and as some people exhausted their claims.
The number of people claiming employment insurance fell 3.8 per cent in July from a month earlier, Statistics Canada said Monday. It was the first drop in 11 months, with the biggest declines in Ontario, Quebec and Alberta.
Recent labour reports show the torrid pace of layoffs across the country is easing. In the last five months, the economy has shed 31,000 jobs, a far slower pace than the 357,000 jobs lost in the previous five months. A decline in initial and renewal claims also indicates that pressure on the system is subsiding.
"We are encouraged by this report, and believe that it is a reflection of the improving fortunes in the Canadian labour market," said Millan Mulraine, economics strategist at TD Securities in a note. He cautioned that any jobs recovery will be slow.
Renewal and initial claims fell 8.5 per cent in July, a similar pace of decline to the previous month.
The agency doesn't track why claims rise or fall, and it may be some people's benefits ran out in the month, rendering them ineligible for further funds. Regular benefits tend to expire after about a year.
Vincent Ferrao, analyst for Statscan's labour division, said the decline was likely due to two factors: "some people are going back to work, and some people are exhausting their benefits," he said in an interview. "It's a combination of both."
The number of regular EI recipients remains elevated. Despite July's drop, the number of people getting benefits remains 57.4 per cent higher than it was last October, when the job market peaked. More than three quarters of a million Canadians - or 787,700 people - received regular benefits in July.
Fewer than half of unemployed workers are actually receiving benefits, noted Erin Weir, economist at the United Steelworkers who believes the drop is more likely due to the expiration of benefits.
Employment insurance has become a central political topic this year. Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his minority Conservatives have proposed legislation to extend coverage, though the bill is still being debated in Parliament.
Over the past year, the biggest increases in beneficiaries are in Calgary, Edmonton, Greater Sudbury and Vancouver. In Calgary, the number of EI claimants has more than quadrupled; in Edmonton, it has more than tripled amid job losses in factories, construction, retail as well as in the oil and gas sector.
The latest report shows that young people and men continue to be the hardest hit segments of the work force. More than twice as many young men were on EI this summer than last summer.
For July, nowhere did the number of EI beneficiaries fall the fastest than in Ontario, where the monthly drop was 5.9 per cent or about 17,000 fewer people. From October to June, by contrast, the number of beneficiaries had increased, on average, by about 16,000 a month.
The only province to tally a monthly increase in July was Newfoundland and Labrador, where the number of benefits rose 6.5 per cent.
The Canadian economy shed 45,000 jobs in July and added about 27,000 positions in August. The labour force survey for September will be released on Oct. 9.

For the mainstream version, see: Norma Bates
If you are 18 years or older or are comfortable with graphic material, you are free to view this page. Otherwise, you should close this page and view another page.
|We came here to start over, and I am starting over.
|~ Norma to Norman
Norma Louise Bates (born Norma Calhoun) is the main character along with her son Norman Bates in 2013 television series Bates Motel. She serves as one of the two protagonists of the show along with her son Norman. Norman's split personality by the name of "Mother" which takes the form of Norma and serves as the show's primary antagonist.
She is portrayed by Vera Farmiga, with Freddie Highmore playing a teenaged Norman Bates.
Childhood and Teenager years
Norma Calhoun was second child of her abuisive father Ray and scared mother Frances who grew up with her older brother named Caleb Calhoun. As a child, her father would beaten Norma and Caleb which left them scars and Norma was raped by her own brother for many times until she met John Massett whom he become her first husband and Norma become pregant with her brother's child left home. Norma and John had a son named Dlyan.
Four years later Norma had affair with Sam Bates and cheated on husband which caused disllsuiton of marriage , Dlyan was sent to live with John. Norma and Sam are married and they had a son named Norman. Then the Bates family lived in Arizona for years.
Season 1
After Norman found his father's body crushed under a shelf in their garage, the two remaining Bates moved to White Pine Bay. There, they planned to start a new life and run an old motel together. The former owner of the motel, Keith Summers, believed that the property was rightfully his, so he raped Norma in her house one night. Norman saved her, but she still killed Summers out of rage. The two covered up Summers' death the best they could, but were still suspected by the town's sheriff, Alex Romero.
Dylan showed up at Norma's doorstep one day, saying that he has no other place to stay. She and Norman were visibly unhappy with Dylan's arrival, and he later blackmailed Norma so he could stay living there.
Later, Zack Shelby, the town's Deputy, stole all evidence of Norma's crime, although Romero was convinced that she is guilty. Shelby revealed his actions to Norma, explaining that he loves her. Norma was warned by Norman that Deputy Shelby is a shady person, but Norma continued to trust him.
Norman told Norma that he broke into Shelby's house and found a slave locked in his basement, but Norma didn't believe him (she checked Shelby's basement and found no proof). Norman eventually freed the slave and proved it to Norma. She refused to turn Shelby in until Keith's belt, which Shelby had stolen in order to clear Norma's name, was retrieved. As a result, Norman and Dylan threw the belt into the bay. Shelby then found Jiao at the motel and turned against Norma, holding the Bates family at gunpoint. He struck her, causing Norman to attack him; Norma and Norman eventually got outside, while Dylan defeated Shelby in a gunfight. Norma then told Dylan how Sam died, as Romero shows up. He learned the full story, but didn't arrest the family.
Later, a mysterious man, Jake Abernathy, tried to enter Room 9 of the motel, and Norma found him. She allowed him to be the motel's first guest as long as he didn't mind the renovation. She hired Norman's friend Emma Decody to work in the motel.
Season 2
Season 3
Season 4
Season 5
Norman keeps Norma's corpse frozen in the basement in order to preserve it. Two years following her death near the end of the fourth season, Norman continues to "stay" with his imaginary figment/split personality "Mother". Norman takes his alter-ego as "Mother" a little step further as he even begins to don a blonde wig when dressing up and impersonating her.
- In the novel and films, Norman Bates was Norma's only child. She also had a sister named Emma Spool rather than a brother.
- The show is set in modern day and retcons much of what was established in the original films. Farmiga's performance differs greatly from Olivia Hussey's in Psycho IV, with her being much more sympathetic and a lot less caustic and spiteful than the original interpretation. She is no less an overbearing mother however and so far is seen to have an unhealthy sexual interest in her son. She also appears to be aware, and more understanding, of Norman's trance-like episodes. In the show, she has another older son with whom she has an antagonistic relationship. This same son is uncomfortably aware of, and openly criticizes, her interactions with Norman.

Horoscope: Leo
A delay in completing an important project could have you feeling irritated, frustrated, and inadequate, Leo, even though you've done your best. The problem is probably beyond your control. There isn't much you can do about this but wait. There are probably a lot of other important tasks waiting. Take care of them and get your mind off the other. It'll get done eventually.


text: Representatives of Port Freeport will meet with a delegation of Congressional staffers and representatives from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to tour the Port and discuss the viability of the Freeport Harbor Improvement Project that includes the plan to deepen the federal channel up to 60 feet and widen it up to 600 feet. Thus far, Port Freeport has received wide-spread, bi-partisan support for this critical project from the Texas delegation as well as the Governor's office of Federal Affairs in Washington. At 60 feet, Port Freeport will be the deepest-draft port on the Gulf of Mexico. Project plans will also include the feasibility of widening the Port's Jetty and Entrance Channel to accommodate larger vessels and two-way vessel traffic. "Going to a 60 foot depth allows us to bring in vessels more fully laden and allows for safer transport and a more cost-effective two-way traffic," said Thomas Perryman, chairman of the Brazos River Harbor Navigation District, which has jurisdiction over Port Freeport. The project to deepen the Port Freeport channel from its current 45 feet has advanced to its second phase, following a decision from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that there is a strong federal interest in conducting the feasibility study of navigation improvements. The Corps of Engineers cited several favorable aspects of the proposed Freeport channel-deepening, including the short distance from port to open sea; in addition, the project will not affect estuaries or bays or the salinity of the Brazos River, and no pipelines or people will be impacted. Preliminary studies indicate that benefits of the deeper channel are expected to exceed construction costs by a ratio of 19-to-1. The project to bring the Port Freeport channel to a 45-foot depth, begun in the mid-1960s, exceeded the 3-to-1 benefit-to-cost ratio initially projected and has proven to be a benefit of well over 5-to-1. "Having 60 feet of water depth next to 8,000 acres of land located only 50 miles from the fourth-largest city in the United States confirms that Port Freeport is viewed as a strategic national energy asset," said Port Freeport Executive Director A.J. Reixach, Jr. Port Freeport is currently the 2nd largest container port on the Texas Gulf Coast, with a channel depth of 45 feet and only 3 miles from the deep water of the open Gulf. The Port offers over 7,500 acres for future development. The Brazos River Harbor Navigation District/Port Freeport serves its customers and stakeholders through the development and marketing of competitive world class navigational capabilities, technically advanced marine and multimodal terminal services and port-related industrial facilities while achieving profits and creating jobs as a leading economic catalyst for the District and the Texas Gulf Coast.
