Dr. Maddie Ahn was Milo's elder sister. She was a leading expert in Android Production who created Nano in collaboration with MSA. Maddie was a brilliant researcher and the only one who succeeded incorporating the nanomachine manipulation program into an Android.
She has dark gray hair and pink eyes. She has been described as beautiful.
She was known to be confident, natural born genius, foulmouthed and displayed a lack of empathy towards others including Milo. However, she reflected on the devastation her creation was capable of and questioned her judgement after Milo was attacked by Chacha's Androids. She even eventually chose to sacrifice her own life to protect Milo and ensure that the Nano List technology was not compromised.

Earlier this week we trekked down to Washington, D.C. where BlackBerry was the technology partner at a Canadian Embassy inauguration event. Government leaders, military officers, and Capitol Hill personnel were in attendance and eager to get hands-on with BlackBerry PlayBook tablets and BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha devices.
Reactions to the QNX-based tablet and upcoming smartphone were solidly positive, and it was a real pleasure to see individuals discovering features, functionality, and gesture-based interaction that they hadn't before experienced. The ability to peek into BlackBerry Hub, the overall flow of BlackBerry 10, and the separation between work and personal data with BlackBerry Balance were clear differentiators for the attendees. Check out the video below to see what a few of them had to say:

This page is under construction… please visit the links below in the meantime
2010 – present:
"Robotanists are dreamscape designers who know how to make a great, great record… "The Lack Thereof" begins with a country twang, transitions into melodic-ballad heaven, and crescendos into spacey bliss that is something you would hear from Philip Glass. The melody snowballs into echoey euphoric vocals that sent chills down my spine."
~ 402 Productions (USA)
"THE LONG TANGLES produce a sound uniquely their own. Multi-toned synth and keyboard bass tones interwine with fiery and vigorous drumming to lay a strong foundation for alluring lyrics and layered melodies."
>> The Austin Chronicle
"Beautiful, breathy vocals; style for miles; and epic compositional turns that pull you in without pretense."
~ QRO Magazine (USA / UK)
"Seductive and ethereal, Plans in Progress melds the mechanical (synthesizers, midi-sequencing etc.) with the mortal (i.e. real instruments played by humans) akin to the legendary lads from Abingdon, Oxfordshire along with the sleek sexuality (and grooves) of latter day Blondie and Everything But The Girl."
~ Amplifier Magazine (USA)
"Evocatively dreamlike without sacrificing command or precision. [Plans in Progress] moves consistently through a spectrum of hushed melodies, crashing choruses and driving rhythms. The Robotanists' third full length album may be the shortest, but it's the most relentless and auspicious in what lies ahead for the four piece."
~ Indie Rock Reviews (USA)
"Robotanists set themselves apart from most bands, keeping an upbeat and interesting style at the same time as being deep and sensual."
~ The Deli Magazine (USA)
"Plans in Progress is an album filled with longing and discovery… Robotanists have an electric future ahead of them. Comparable to The Sounds, but ten folds better"
~ My Favorite M.A.O.I. (USA)
"Let's just face it. The Robotanists have talent. Their drummer (Preston Scott Phillips) is amazing. I always say, a band is only as good as their drummer. And, Sarah Elquist DeBlanke is a real "singer". It's so stupid, but there once was a time when the prerequisite for being a singer, was being able to sing (did I mention I just saw Glass Candy?). Sarah CAN sing. Daniel DeBlanke is one of my guitar heroes. I like to think he plays like I do, but he actually plays like I would eventually want to be able to play if I practiced for 10 years. Keith Boyarsky plays bass, and really keeps everything together when they play live."
~ Radio Free Silver Lake (USA)
"Robotanists' versatile music effortlessly blends elements of rock and pop, reflecting a spectrum of moods rather than a particular genre. Their songs evoke different atmospheres that are intriguing and captivating, with a seemingly metaphorical depth and alternately sedated sound."
~ Carver Wilcox, Flavorpill (USA)
"Female-fronted indie at its finest, a soulful voice cast over booming guitar and the downright pretty production quality typical of the genre. The Robotanists are here to fill that void [of bands like Denali] in every respect, and "On/Off The Ledge" is as sincere as it is dancy, adjectives that normally take effort to pair together."
~ RCRDLBL.com (USA)
"@Robotanists rerecorded the new Radiohead record better than Radiohead!"
~ Travis Keller (@buddyhead), buddyhead.com (USA)
"Yes. We're as blown away as you are [by ROBOTANISTS covering Radiohead's The King of Limbs in only 24 hours]. These aren't some halfassed acoustic covers either (though in 24 hours even that would be impressive). These are full-bodied productions, Sarah Ellquist DeBlanke's vocals echoing in your head long after the 37 minutes end."
~ Ray Padgett, Cover Me Songs (USA)
"Over ghostly guitars and pulsing keys, Ellquist's vocals strike a nice balance between sultry/detached and warm/inviting, and on this sophomore effort, produced by Danny Kalb, the foursome strikes out for a broader sonic atmosphere. "Let's steal this moment / and go as fast as we can," Ellquist sings in the title track, and if this too-short (28-plus minutes) album is any indication, Robotanists' moment may very well be nigh."
~ Kevin Bronson, BuzzBands.la (USA)
"[Ellquist's] achingly candied vocals give such dream-pop chansons as "Terminal A" and "The Ghost You're Haunting" a romantically yearning quality, as her musical co-conspirator Daniel DeBlanke surrounds her with shimmering layers of guitar and electronics… [her] sugary melodies and charismatic allure contribute to Robotanists' considerable commercial potential, but one hopes that DeBlanke will continue to contrast such pure-pop ambition with the artful embellishments and occasional experimentation that distinguish the new album."
~ Falling James, LA Weekly (USA)
"Robotanists are a group you want to believe in because the moment you hear the lure of Sarah Ellquist's voice [on PLANS IN PROGRESS] mixed in with sounds that are both ethereal and insistent, you want to know about the next set of twists to come."
~ This Is Books Music (USA)
"concentrated dose of brilliance… and with an LP full of fetching tracks [Plans in Progress], whose gigantic choruses will penetrate your subconscious and stay there."
~ AerialNoise (USA)
"Their EPs Close Down the Woods and Shapes and Variations are incredibly addicting… [Shapes and Variations] is one of the best cover albums of the past decade. Any band that can take something like Jay-Z's calculated hit "Empire State of Mind" and turn it into a beautifully melancholic ode to Los Angeles is a band that demands your attention."
~ Gorillacoustic.com (USA)

Glass beads are unique beads that have captured the fervor and loyalty of many bead makers. Their shimmer effect combined with their sleek surface creates an extraordinary beauty beyond compare. Hence, most of the beaded jewelries produced by crafters are made of glass beads or with a mix of these fine beads.
Starting on a new project with glass beads, it is sometimes an uncertainty as to what colors to use for the project. Expert beaders may find these easy due to much experience with glass beads. However, for the newbie in bead making, glass bead colors adds beauty and option for your project and not a pressure for you to choose the perfect color. To work in a breeze with these glass bead colors, you must keep in mind a few tips.
Glass bead color comes in variety of tint such as the pink, blue, red, green and black. Further, these colors have different color intensity. Although this can seem confusing, remember to enjoy your work always.
Try playing with different color patterns and color combination. You can arrange the blue colored glass beads according to its intensity and make it a pattern for your necklace. Alternatively, you can have five different dark colors and create a pattern out of this.In addition, when choosing the appropriate colors for your glass bead supply, visualize first what you want for a design in your project. By imagining the overall look of your finished project, you can clearly see the different colors associating your design. Then, you can simply choose the color of your glass beads.
But, you must also bear in mind that your design is what limits your choice. Although this can be a great pattern in choosing your glass bead colors, it is just simply to lead you to an organized project making. You can always do a few changes in your design when you see another great glass bead color you desire.
The only thing you must always consider when doing your glass bead jewelry of any other beaded jewelry is have fun. Bead making is not a stressful activity nor is it strict and always by the rules. It is fun, spontaneous activity that lets you run your creative minds and create a boundless masterpiece of genuine art. You may feel a little lost or doing it wrong, but you can always go back and do it again, no added pressure.

TITLE: Trouble with Timelines
CATEGORY: Drama, Action/adventure
CHARACTERS: Sam, Daniel, Teal'c, O'Neill, Jacob|Selmak, Martouf|Lantash
PAIRINGS: None
SUMMARY: Daniel accidentally activates a Furling device, which changes the timeline. Will SG-1 be able to fix it? Written as Christmas calendar, in 24 short chapters.
NOTES: Takes places around April 2002
"What does the text say?" Sam asked, looking with interest at the silvery cube Daniel was turning over and over in his hands.
"I don't know. It a different variant of Furling than the one we found on PB2-908. Ernest's Planet, you know." He slid his thumb over the red crystal set into one of the sides, and the letters on the sides glowed again.
"Let me take a look. Selmak knows a little bit of Furling," Jacob said, reaching for the cube.
Daniel shrugged and handed it to him. "Sure."
Jacob took it and gave control to Selmak, who studied it carefully.
"Did you notice that?" Sam pointed. "The edges glow when you push your hand hard against the crystal for a longer time."
"Yes. Interesting." Selmak pressed her hand against the crystal and held it there, and the edges slowly lighted up until they glowed dully.
"There was nothing else in the chamber where we found the cube," Sam said. "Nothing to explain what it might be. Too bad, really."
"No, but we haven't searched all the corridors. Not even close," Daniel reminded her.
O'Neill came running into the cave-like room, stopping just inside the door. "Time to leave, guys!"
"But Jack - we found only one artefact and if we could just-" Daniel began.
"No buts! A group of Jaffa came through the Stargate and they'll be here soon!"
"Jaffa? What sect are they?" Selmak asked.
"Eh, Olokun, according to Teal'c," O'Neill said. "Who cares!" He activated the radio and spoke into it, "Teal'c! We're on the way!"
"Understood, O'Neill. The Jaffa have not seen me. They are clearly searching for something, though."
"That's what I feared. O'Neill out." He turned to the others. "All right. Move it!"
Sam picked up her backpack, then hurried after Daniel, Jacob|Selmak, and O'Neill - all running back along the dark winding corridors they had walked through earlier that day. They had come there looking for a secret laboratory, rumoured to contain powerful technology, perhaps even weapons.
They had only had time to study a small part of the underground complex they had discovered, and the silvery cube was the only piece of technology they had found. Now the whole place might fall into the hands of a Goa'uld.
Of course, that could easily be their own fate as well, unless they made it safely back to the Stargate.
Finally they reached the exit of the tunnel complex and met Teal'c who was standing near the almost-hidden entrance set into the rock face.
"Anything new, T?" O'Neill asked in a low voice.
"There is not. We have not been discovered. None of the Jaffa have returned, but I do not know if any guards remain at the Stargate."
"Okay, I guess we'll know soon enough. Move out, people."
"Jack, we can't just leave all of this for the Goa'uld to take!" Daniel complained.
"Did you find anything except for that weird cube?" O'Neill asked.
"No, but I'm sure there is a lot more if we just..."
O'Neill shook his head. "No, Daniel. There's no time for that."
"But they may not find this place! I mean, we barely found it and we had a map!"
"Then it'll still be here when it's safe to return. Now move!" O'Neill repeated.
Daniel looked less than happy, but followed along and did not complain further.
They moved as quietly as possible through the light forest, keeping an eye out for the Jaffa. When they reached the clearing, with the Stargate located in the middle, they stopped and looked around carefully.
All seemed peaceful. Trees encircled the clearing on all sides, with a fairly overgrown path leading across the clearing and into the forest - the way they had come when they arrived. The sun was almost down, and the shadows were getting longer, throwing the clearing into twilight.
"The only protection is that group of rocks and low bushes." Jacob pointed. "We'll be vulnerable as soon as we move out from the treeline."
"Right. We'll just have to hope none of the Jaffa are nearby," O'Neill said, looking grim.
"Any idea what they are doing here?" Daniel wondered.
"Probably just coincidence. Bad luck," Jacob suggested.
"Since the map we used to find the Furling lab was found on one of Olokun's planets, it's not too far a stretch to assume he's heard about it too, is it?" Sam said.
"Or it's a trap. Maybe the snakehead knew about the map, but hadn't been able to find the entrance and decided to see if we had better luck. Have you thought of that?" O'Neill said.
Jacob considered it, listening to Selmak. "Olokun isn't known for his subtleties, but I agree, both options are possible."
"Well, we can consider it later. Let's get out of here before the Jaffa return!" O'Neill ordered.
They had only just stepped out into the clearing when they heard someone shouting angrily at them.
"A group of Jaffa. To our right!" Jacob warned.
"Crap!" O'Neill exclaimed. "Watch out!"
They all ran for the only cover, and made it to the relative safety just as staff blasts began zipping past them.
"Five Jaffa," Teal'c told them, checking. He quickly lowered his head as a shot flew by much too close for comfort, the plasma discharge burning away about half of one of the bushes they were hiding behind.
They all immediately withdrew behind the low pile of rocks, making sure all parts of their bodies were hidden from the enemy.
"Damn! Why do we always end up in these situations?" O'Neill grumbled. "Carter, you take the left. Teal'c - cover fire!"
"Yes, O'Neill." Teal'c swung his staff weapon around and shot over the top of the rocks in the general direction of the attacking Jaffa.
Sam and O'Neill leaned out from each their side of the rocks, taking care to show as little of themselves as possible. They fired quickly at the Jaffa who were occupied by the shots from Teal'c, before rolling back to safety.
"I got one," Sam said.
"Me too," O'Neill said.
"That's three left," Daniel observed, just as Teal'c rose to his knees and sent off a volley of plasma discharges from his staff weapon before ducking back down.
"So, two left," Daniel said.
"No, one left,." Teal'c told him, a pleased expression on his face.
They heard a zat'nik'tel discharge close by and turned to see Jacob kneeling behind them, his zat'nik'tel in hand. "Now there are none left."
The last Jaffa was lying only maybe 10 feet away to the side, having attempted to sneak up on them.
"Great. Good work, everyone!" O'Neill grinned, relieved. "Now let's get the Hell out of here! Daniel, dial Earth!"
Daniel ran to the DHD and began dialing. However, just as the wormhole connected, another group of Jaffa appeared among the trees.
"Jaffa!" Teal'c called out.
Daniel tried to cover behind the DHD as he sent the signal from his GDO. "Just a moment, guys!"
"Hurry up!" O'Neill shouted as a shot zinged the ground before him.
"All right, got it!" Daniel exclaimed as he got the 'all clear' from Stargate Command.
They ran for the open 'gate, firing at the approaching Jaffa, who fired back at them.
Jacob cried out as a staff blast hit his shoulder, but with Sam's help he continued running.
Daniel grabbed the silvery Furling cube and hurried towards the open wormhole, reaching it just before the others. Just as he was about to jump through, a discharge from one of the staff weapons hit the cube.
"Augh!" Daniel cried out, dropping the cube.
"Leave it!" O'Neill shouted. "Come on!"
Not willing to give up on the one artefact they had found, Daniel grabbed the device - and almost let go of it again. He made a surprised cry at the weird twang he felt, as if from static electricity, but he held onto it, accidentally pressing hard on the red crystal. Almost immediately the corners of the cube began to glow brilliantly and it let out a great flash, which illuminated the entire area. Daniel stumbled and nearly fell, but clutched the device to him as he fell through the wormhole.
The others followed moments later, jumping and running through the Stargate.
"Quickly! Close the iris!" Sam called out when she appeared on the other side. Dumbfounded by what she saw, she stopped and just stared.
"What the Hell?" Jacob exclaimed, as the wormhole closed behind them.
"Did you not dial Earth, Daniel Jackson?" Teal'c wondered.
"This isn't Stargate Command," Daniel observed, unnecessarily.
"No shit!" O'Neill snorted. He shook his head. "Oh, God. This takes me back!"

- Vermeer's Hat: The 17th Century and the Dawn of the Global World by Timothy Brook
Profile, 272 pp, £18.99, July 2008, ISBN 978 1 84668 112 7
Timothy Brook's subject in Vermeer's Hat is the 'global world' of the 17th century. Brook is a historian of China who wants to consider the lure of China for others. The dream of China, he argues, is the imaginative thread that runs through the history of early modern Europe's struggle to reach the wider world; he admires the energy and drive of the Europeans who devised means to do this. The tone is generally upbeat despite the fact that the tales he tells of foreign adventures involve conflict, danger, disaster and death. Believing as he does in the virtues of the global – now as much as then – he sees an essential difference between China and the Netherlands. On this account, China regrettably kept itself closed to the outside, partly in order to defend its skills and accomplishments and also to protect the honour of its past. The Netherlands, by contrast, was open. Dutch ships, supported by new technology and newly invented entities like the joint-stock trading corporation called the Dutch East India Company, sailed across dangerous oceans. They did this less to settle than for the promise of trade and profit. And the strange foreign goods they brought back were eagerly taken up by a growing consumer economy.

Japanese Poster in Indonesia: What a wonderful occupation
You can see, Japanese business in Indonesia is still monopolizing. Sometimes they even don't bother to attack Indonesia's policy, if they feel it endangered to their business.
One time ago, Indonesia publicly announce their will to make a brand new car made in Indonesia. Immediately all Japanese businessmen declare their intention to leave Indonesia and to make million of workers abandoned. Something that will be regrettable for Indonesian.
Compare the above two poster with the newest Japanese poster here, or you can find any Jap product advertisement in TV. Its seem there are many similarities.
The question is: Is Indonesia still under Japanese occupation??? Or..
What a wonderful life.

Mary and Owen
Sometimes there just isn't enough to pay all of the bills, and she has to decide between shelter and food.
For Mary, life often felt like one, big, unexpected medical bill. Owen, her son and the love of her life, had a developmental disability. Their medical and living expenses were nearly always larger than her paycheck. Then, her hours were cut back at work.
In despair, Mary turned to MOM for help. MOM's case managers were able to provide immediate rent and utility bill assistance to keep Mary and Owen in stable and affordable housing. Over the next few months, Mary began to have hope. Weekly visits to the MOM Food Pantry provided the nutritious food she and Owen needed to maintain health and enjoy meals together. Occasional visits to MOM's Clothing Center helped them stay warm all winter. Mary started catching up on her bills.
Nearly 48% of MOM's clients are children, like Owen. Because of donors like you, MOM is helping protect them from the devastating effects of homelessness and helping to fill their plates with food.
When Mary came to tell her case manager that she no longer lived in fear, she was smiling for the first time in a very long time. She had hope.
Please correct the validation errors above.

Heres what we're loving this month!
I never thought my son's first car would be when he was 6 months old, but he is obsessed with this jeep. We actually got this at Christmas time, but just this month did we bust it out of the box. Grayson LOVES it, and putters around the whole downstairs in it. Its super lightweight, goes on carpet as well as hardwood, makes super cute car noises and has a mirror. Its a win win for him for sure. He looks a bit like Fred Flinstone sometimes, but I think thats just a bonus.
This is seriously Graysons favorite toy. Its got these little bean shaped tumblers, that jump and tumble and he just laughs the whole time he plays with it. He knows how to make the music come on, and how to make the wheel spin. Its the cutest thing ever when he puts the bean on the yellow track and laughs as it comes to the bottom.
These were our first 'big boy' food item. We started breaking them into quarters, now he can eat them whole, but hes such a little bird when he sees the container come out. They're great for sprinkling on the tray of his high chair when were cooking dinner- they keep him busy picking up and eating them for a good half hour.
Okay, so this is more of a Mommy must have- but its still awesome. We wanted a pocket video camera that we could capture all of Grayson's little moments on, without spending a ton of cash. This camera has met and exceeded all of our expectations. It goes from off to on and recording in three seconds, its waterproof up to 10 feet, shock proof, dust proof and husband who is clumsy proof. It uses an SD card, and a 4GB card can last for a whole hour. Plenty of time for capturing little moments in our little mans life.
With Grayson starting to crawl, we spent too much time smashing our face into the hardwoods. Enter this play mat. We bought two sets to cover the floor in the living room where Grayson plays the most- and now when he topples over he just gets right back up. The gray color matches our living room, so it didn't look too silly in the middle of the floor. One set only covers a 4 x 4 area, so if you need something bigger be prepared to get two or three sets.
Thats all for this month, if you missed months 1-6 check out the Raising Parents tab!

Great Quality proof reading – spot the mistake below.
The image above is a extract of the about us page of a new website that went live today. Not one of ours I might add. I just happened to come across it. The spelling of quality is wrong. Ironically.
This is what you get when you don't pay enough attention to what you're doing, or probably do not pay enough money to get your website created by someone who can spell or at least read.
If I were the client I would be quite upset by this going live.
What do you mean by Quality?
Just another point, look at the bullet points set out as the main Quality features of this company [correct spelling this time]. They're pretty much the same as you would read on anyone's website. They apply to every business and show that no thought or interest has gone into writing them. In fact it also shows a complete lack of imagination on behalf of the client or the website company to come up with something a little different.
It reeks of laziness and "ticking a box".
How many websites have you seen where it is literally a few lines on a page, completely wasting everyone's time?
Bad Quality Website Hunt
I think I may start calling for a cull on websites that do not meet reasonable standards. Are you with me?
So what criteria shall we use to decide if a website should wiped off the web? Some ideas:
- Poor Design.
- Broken pages or links.
- Rubbish images.
- Bad Spelling.
- Irrelevant content.
- "Welcome to our new website" statement still there after 5 years – yes I've seen that.
- Slow to load pages.
- No point to the website at all.
Do you have any other suggestions?
I guess the list could go on. if you have any pet hates then send them to me, I would love to know.
Maybe we have a scoring system that if you get an average of lower than x/10 we start a campaign to get the website improved? Or deleted?
What do you think? Should we "clean up the web"?
Send your suggestions in for things that annoy you on websites or websites that you really don't like at all – and why.
Comments welcome…

Sure you might not need a tiny paper chair, but it sure is a lot more memorable than a tiny flat piece of paper. Oddee has a great selection of memorable business cards and while I love the chair idea, the breast augmentation one is certainly appropriate for a plastic surgeon's potential market.

I really enjoy the broken plates for the Greek restaurant... in ancient Greece the way they decided who sat on the lesser council (which changed names all the time over the years) was by annually breaking plates and writing their names on them. The names picked out would serve on their equivalent of the House of Representatives for that year. No voting, just plate-breakin'. I believe Rome adopted this practice for awhile as well, but I could be mistaken.
Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

Back to School Comfort
With just over a week away from starting a new grade my sweet girl is starting to feel very excited and a bit nervous all in one! To calm her nerves and keep the excitement coming we did a few activities to get ready.
Have you used Shrinky Dink sheets yet? They are great. We use them for so many crafts, but on this day we made a comfort charm to wear to school. I cut a heart from the shrink sheets and punched a hole in the center. Em drew a picture of her family to have close to her on those first few days when she is missing us.
Here is the charm before the shrinking. Into the oven it goes at 300 degrees just for a few minutes. The charm will curl up and flatten out and that is when it is done.
Here it is right out of the oven. The kids just think this is the best thing ever!
With a piece of twine it is the best first day of school accessory ever! She made me one, too. In case I miss her while she is gone. Go ahead, melt my heart.
This is our
"All About Me Card."
When talking about having a new teacher and maybe even some new friends Emma was feeling a bit nervous. We chatted about all the things she wanted her new class to know about her. I told her how each and every one of these things made her special and unique and made her...Emma.
At first we made this to bring to her new teacher as a friendly introduction, but what Emma gained from just doing this exercise was much more than I planned. She was confident and proud to be Emma and excited to make new friends, see old friends and enjoy another wonderful year of school.

The first photo shows Bob McIntyre winning the 1959 Senior F1 TT on one of Joe's Manxes.
The second shot is taken after the "Formula double Scotch" (or the 1959 F1 TT) and shows Alastair King with Bob Mac. Alastair also won the Junior F1 TT on Joe's AJS 7R. The two photos from the Formula 1 TT were supplied to Joe by the Motor Cycling Magazine.
The final photo shows Joe's old friend Charlie Bruce on his DOHC Velocette. It can be seen that Charlie has remounted after a crash (rips on the back of his leathers).
The photos had been kept in a garage but have now been mounted in new frames which are the same as Joe himself specified (he had written light oak on the back of each picture).

Los Algodones
For those of you that have never heard of Los Algodones, sit back as this could blow your mind. Imagine a Mexican border town with only 5,000 residents but 300 dentists. Yes, that's right, 300. Pretty unique right? So how did this happen? It all started 40 years ago, when a small group of dentists decided to move there practice from nearby Mexicali city to Los Algodones. Why? Geographically speaking, Los Algodones is only minutes away from Yuma, AZ which is a major winter destination for thousands of American and Canadian snowbirds. Considering the high cost of dental treatments, Los Algodones seemed like the perfect place to get your dental, and it was. Since then, thousands of American and Canadians migrate south to pass the winter in the state of Arizona and find it very convenient to visit Los Algodones to get there quick fix. Slowly but surely, the word got out. Little did they knew, it was a gold mine. Los Algodones has everything you need for a quick day trip in Mexico: Easy access, high-qualified dentist, bars, pharmacies,sport books, you name it. Americans feel safe and in control when they visit this town. During the winter, it is very common to see thousands and thousands of Americans and Canadians just walking around doing some shopping and visiting there dentist. It is considered a medical tourism phenomenon. Because of it's price/value reputation, clients just keep coming back. Most tourist walk across the border. If you prefer to be picked up in the US, we do offers complimentary ground transportation from Yuma. Just make sure to let us know when you wish to be picked up so we can arrange your visit.

Superfood Tip: Plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
November 22, 2013
This week's super food is plain, non-fat Greek yogurt. Six creamy ounces offers only 90 calories and provides many of the vitamins and minerals that are lacking in the typical American diet such as: Vitamin D, calcium and phosphorus. These vitamins and minerals are essential for energy and the maintenance of strong bones and teeth — peak bone density is reached by age 18.
Even though this yogurt contains 0 grams fat, it promotes satiety (feeling of full) because of its high protein content.
Plain, non-fat Greek yogurt is very versatile. One option for a sweet treat: fold in 2 tablespoons non-fat whipped topping and a dash of cinnamon into one container of yogurt for a fruit dip; or add Italian seasoning to container of yogurt for a veggie dip. You also could use it as a marinade, as a substitute for oil in baking, as a substitute for mayonnaise in a deviled egg recipe or mix it with honey mustard and apple cider vinegar for a tasty fat-free salad dressing.

S.K. BHUYAN: Anglo-Assamese Relations, 1949, p. 556 and 560
Eastern Assam, according to the division of Scott, covered roughly the present districts of Sibsagar, Lakhimpur, a small portion of Darrang, and the Sadiya Frontier Tract. It thus includes three minor tracts of considerable political importance, viz., the territories occupied by the Moamarias, the Khamtis and Singphos; and as they were managed at first from the British station of Sadiya they were generally known as the Sadiya country, and the name 'Upper Assam' come to be strictly applied to the intervening districts between Lower Assam and the Sadiya country.
The Matak country or the tract occupied by the Moamarias lay between the Brahmaputra and the Buri-Dihing and extended as far as Sadiya. It ruler was called the Barsenapati, whose independence had been acknowledged by Purnananda Buragohain and survived the Burmese troubles. In May 1826, Matibar Barsenapati entered into an engagement with David Scott in which he promised to furnish 280 paiks to the British Government. He was allowed to dispose of petty criminal cases in his jurisdiction, but was required to send up serious cases to the British courts with the results of his investigation. The district round Sadiya had been in the occupation of the Khamtis since 1794 when they expelled the Ahom governor and established their own chief in his stead. The Khamti chief Chow Salam Sadiyakhowa Gohain undertook to maintain a force of 200 men armed by the British. The Singpho country lay to the east of the Matak and was bounded on the north by the Lohit river and on the south by the patkai range. As we have seen the Singpho chiefs acknowledged their subjection to the British Government and promised to be friendly and peaceful neighbours. The Moamarias returned to their old agricultural pursuits and gave no trouble to the British Government but the Khamtis and the Singphos gradually became impatient of restraint and into their old predatory habits.
Early in 1830 reports were received of hostile preparations among the Singphos and Khamtis aided by their brethren residing beyond the Frontier. Among at the same time another Assamese prince named Gadadhar, disguished as a Khamti priest had been secretly attempting to win over the troops and assassinate the European officers in Upper Assam. He described himself as an agent of the Burmese monarch who, he said, was preparing troops to invade Assam next year. In March 1830 the Khamtis and the Singphos invaded the plains and set out for Sadiya. Captain Neufville, however, succeeded in dispersing them. With regard to the proposed invasion by the Burmese, arrangements were made to repel such an attack; and Raja Gambhir Sing of Manipur was asked to hold his troops in readiness to march across to Sadiya.
A rebellion in a more determined and violent form had meanwhile been organized by Piali Barphukan, son of Badanchandra, with this assistance of some nobles who had been convicted in Gomdhar's trial but had succeeded in escaping from prison. The Ahom prince who was proposed for elevation to the throne was one Rupchand Konwar. The leaders addressed letters to the chiefs of the Moamarias, Khamtis, Nagas, Daflas, Manipuris, Garos, and Khasias. They seduced the second son and a few disaffected subjects of the Moamaria chief contrary to the latter's orders. The letter addressed to the Khamti chief was made over to Captain Neufville who instantly arrested the messenger. In the meantime the rebels, lines; but having failed to carry out their project of attacking the guard retreated to Geleki where they were captured by a detachment with some armed levies.

Accidental Death of an Anarchist
October 1, 2011 - October 23, 2011
When an anarchist accused of bombing a bank "accidentally" falls out a fourth floor window, the police are quick to cover their tracks. But the arrival of a maniac in disguise and a shrewd reporter soon have the authorities scrambling to retract their amendments and amend their retractions.
First produced by nimbus in 2006, this smash hit returns with Dave Gangler reprising the role of the Maniac. Hailed by critics as "cleverly directed" and "very funny," it will open the first full season in nimbus' new theater. Originally a commentary on the rampant police corruption in late 1960's Italy, Accidental Death of an Anarchist now serves as a hilarious but sobering look at how misguided those we trust to protect us can really be, and what lengths they will go to in order to control the story.

Always More to Learn
Education is not quite as mysterious as it sometimes seems. The truth is that education is a line upon line, precept upon precept project that never ends. Homeschooling recognizes that all of life is learning, and we seek to create life-long learners. Education is not confined to a classroom; it is life itself. While that sounds like an intimidating reality, it is a comforting one. As the homeschool journey unfolds, we realize that each year simply allows us to build on knowledge gained previously. It is an exciting journey. It reminds us why the foundation is critical.
Beyond the Lesson Book: Pets
One of the best things about home education is that it opens opportunities for learning that simply can not fit more traditional schedules. We will take a regular look at some irregular ways to maximize learning opportunities. Pets are a great place to start. Certainly I understand that children in public school have pets. I also understand that time shortages exist. Our lifestyle lends itself to getting the most out of every experience!

Thank You, Mom.
Today is my birthday and I just wanted to take a minute to tell you all how amazing my mother is. She was 19, single, and living away from home when she found out she was pregnant. She knew choosing life for me meant she would have to leave c
ollege and move back home. She had every reason in the world to abort me and pretend like I never existed. But she didn't. She put my life over her own and has been an amazing example of what true female strength is ever since. She spent the next decade working to provide for me while finishing her degree. My mother is one of the most courageous women I've ever known. And as I sit here today, watching my kids jump through the sprinklers in her front yard, I cannot thank her enough for giving me life. That choice will impact generations to come...

Artwork on Church Street in Lenox, MA
Feeling inclined to fill up on the flavors of Fall and frolic in freshly fallen foliage, my honey and I head for the hills last weekend. Seizing a rare opportunity to venture beyond City borders, the Berkshires become a welcome wonderland after a weary work week. Brunch foods, bargains and beverages bring us to farmsteads and Main Streets in search of epicurean excellence. Looping through the circuit of Western New England, our search for fantastic food and drink continues; keep reading to see our weekend's favorites...
No. 6 Depot and Roastery (photo from 2014)
Stopping for steamy sips at No. 6 Depot and Roastery is often the first leg in our perennial pilgrimage. Having discovered this quaint coffee cabin a couple years back, we now make the trek annually. The rustic comfort of Six Depot's interior complement the farm-inspired fare and brewed beverages. Favorites include a seasonal vegetarian panino paired with an orange + olive oil muffin. Wash it all down with an affogato! The large room / gallery space often doubles as a special events venue. Stay tuned here for weekly events!
Perfect execution of my favorite beverage-- the Affogato with a slice of dark bark
Additional Seating in adjacent room doubles as a gallery/special events space
Furnace Brook Winery and Hilltop Orchards
Apple Cider, Crisp Apples and Apple Cider Donuts complete a circuit of fruit-infused fun! We visit 5 farms, tasting the fall fare featured in each. Of the options, we both agree that the Furnace Brook Winery (a.k.a Hilltop Orchards) peddle the tastiest donuts (and at 75 cents a pop--the most affordable!) and worthy wine. 1 complimentary tasting is available, with 5 additional samplings for $5. We wander away with a couple bottles of red and white... and spiked cider for Thanksgiving. Our exploratory experience also includes Harvest Spirits Farm Distillery and Brookview Station Winery.
ör coffee bar in Hudson, NY
Looking for Lick in the Hudson Valley, we instead stumble on coffee bar ör. The space is reminiscent of Brooklyn, NYC. Inside, the spacious interior is ideal for performances or relaxing with a cup of coffee, carafe of wine or poured pint. A designer cuts strips for a leather bag while guests guzzle brothy beverages. A second room serves as a gallery space and retail outlet.
The space includes an 'artist in residence' with an adjoining shop
Harney & Sons in Millerton, NY
On the way back downstate, we stop by Harney and Sons to stock up on tea. In addition to the fresh food (the scones and tea cheese are highly recommended... along with everything else on the menu!), taste tea to your heart's content (for free!) in the tasting room. A second Harney location opened in Soho a few years back, but alas, the original is undoubtedly worth the travel!
Seasonal fare includes butternut squash lasagna... Mmm!
The Tea Tasting Room
Irving Farm Roasters
Though the numbers "44" hang on the door (Asian superstition), Irving Roasters serves up "the best cup in town" (coffee that is). Grabbing a cup to go, we venture a block down from Harney & Sons. A local Main Street Staple, brewed beverages are served with a friendly feel. Stop by if you're in town! Until the next adventure...

Drought and Bias (Mine)
1. The heavy rains may lead to flooding, mud slides, and similar problems.
Whatever I feel like talking about.
Cows and Keyline: Restoring Desert Grasslands | Circle Ranch http://bit.ly/1x3atMg
Your wife is pretty much correct. There was an article in the Santa Rosa Press- Democrat yesterday or the day before that quoted some water guy as saying we'd need 150% of normal rainfall to fill up all the reservoirs. So, it would be prudent to conserve water in areas that have low reserves.
That's aside of Believers trying to hype weather events to point to global warming/climate change. Not sure if you noticed all the hype over the storm of last week or however long ago it was. We were being told it was a superstorm at first. That fizzled out and it ended up just being a typical winter storm.
But leave it to Amy Goodman, over at Democracy Now, to keep hyping it up. As part of her coverage of the recent climate conference she tried as usual to link the typhoon in the Philippines to climate change, just as she did the one before that. She also threw California's storm into the mix as an example of climate change, and that was some days after nearly all agreed it was just a normal winter storm.
And don't forget the "OMG it's a DISASTER!" angle. Everything has to be a disaster on the news or no one will watch/follow/click.
I think your wife has the right of it. The drought isn't over until the reservoirs are back to normal.
The purpose of news outlets is to get ad viewers, not to relieve water shortages. Bad news attract more viewers that good ones do. So I am with Clayton Neff. Also, pandering to the prejudices of potential viewers attracts more viewers.

Civil unions about to be recognized in Mexico City / City assembly has passed measure, and mayor expected to sign
2006-11-10 04:00:00 PDT Mexico City -- The city assembly approved a civil-unions law Thursday that recognizes the legal rights of gay couples, the first such legislation in this staunchly Roman Catholic country.
Championed by lawmakers from the leftist parties that control the Legislative Assembly of Mexico's Federal District, the bill was approved by a vote of 43-17 and is expected to be signed into law by the city's mayor. The conservative National Action Party of President-elect Felipe Calderon opposed the measure.
A few hundred gay activists gathered outside the legislative chambers to celebrate the vote, waving rainbow-colored flags while a smaller group of counterprotesters watched.
"It was a long, intense battle, but today we finally won," said Enoe Urgana, a lesbian activist who proposed the first civil-union bill as a Mexico City legislator in 2001. "Now we have to fight to apply the law, to show the citizenry that this is a noble law ... This is a historic day."
The law, which had been debated in the Federal District legislature four times since 2001 without winning passage, also grants new rights to unmarried heterosexual couples in this city of 9 million people.
Catholic Church officials called the measure a first step toward the legalization of same-sex marriage and to laws that would allow gay and lesbian couples to adopt children. Mexico's Conference of Bishops said it was an assault on the family.
"When family values are threatened by social and economic pressure, the Church will react by reaffirming that a family led by a man and a woman is necessary not just for the private good but also for the common good of society," the Conference of Bishops said in a statement.
"This is madness, it's unnatural, it's immoral," said Carlos Garza Diaz of the Fraternal Union of Christian Evangelical Churches. "We're very angry. ... But society will finally judge and punish the political parties that voted for it."
The National Bar of Christian Attorneys, an evangelical group, also worked to stop the measure's approval.
The preamble to the "Law of Cohabitation Partnerships" called its passage "a true test of democratic pluralism" and a recognition of "the right to be different."
In defense of same-sex unions, the law cites scientific studies by Alfred Kinsey and others that have found homosexuality to be widespread. The preamble also condemned rampant discrimination suffered by gays here.
Alberto Begne, leader of the Social Democratic and Peasant Alternative Party, called the measure a step forward toward the construction of a country where "everyone is protected by the rule of law."

Bowfin, (Amia calva), also called grindle, mudfish, or dogfish, freshwater fish of the order Amiiformes (superorder Holostei); it is the only living representative of its family (Amiidae), which dates back to the Jurassic Period (199.6 to 145.5 million years ago). The bowfin is a voracious fish found in sluggish North American waters from the Great Lakes southward to the Gulf of Mexico.
The bowfin is mottled green and brown and has a long dorsal fin and strong conical teeth. The female reaches a length of 75 centimetres (30 inches); the smaller male is distinguished by a black tail spot circled with orange. The bowfin spawns in spring. The male constructs a crude nest among vegetation and guards both the fertilized eggs and the newly hatched young.

Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon Plans to Withdraw Several Mesh Systems from the Market
January 1, 1970 · FLEMING | NOLEN | JEZ, L.L.P.
In a June 4, 2012 letter, Johnson & Johnson announced that it will cease sales of four of its Ethicon pelvic mesh product systems.
Johnson & Johnson has requested approval from the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to stop "commercializing" the following devices in 120 days: (1) TVT Secur; (2) Gynecare Prosima; (3) Gynecare Prolift; and (4) Gynecare Prolift +M. Johnson & Johnson and Ethicon have further requested from the FDA that post-market studies the FDA previously ordered for the TVT Secur; Gynecare Prosima; Gynecare Prolift; and Gynecare Prolift +M be no longer required. Should the FDA grant Johnson & Johnson and Ethicon's request, this means women may not learn of the long term effects of the TVT Secur; Gynecare Prosima; Gynecare Prolift; and Gynecare Prolift +M mesh devices being implanted for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse or stress urinary incontinence.
Recently, Johnson & Johnson and Ethicon were under scrutiny for the Gynecare Prolift when this pelvic organ prolapse mesh was placed onto the market in 2005 and then sold for three years without FDA clearance. Johnson & Johnson claimed the Gynecare Prolift was allowed to be on the market since it was "substantially similar" to mesh products that were already cleared by the FDA. However, the FDA did not clear this pelvic organ mesh product for the market until three years after it was already being implanted into women. Now, Johnson & Johnson and Ethicon are requesting that the Gynecare Prolift be no longer sold worldwide.
The Johnson & Johnson and Ethicon's June 4, 2012 letter further stated they were requesting FDA permission to change the Gynecare Gynemesh PS instructions for use. Johnson & Johnson and Ethicon are requesting permission to change how the pelvic organ prolapse mesh product Gynecare Gynemesh PS is implanted from a transvaginal approach to a transabdominal approach. This means a physician would now implant the Gynecare Gynemesh PS, a mesh product used to treat a pelvic organ prolapse, through the stomach.

Amanda Nguyen - CEO and Founder
Amanda Nguyen is the CEO and founder of Rise. She penned her own civil rights into existence and unanimously passed the Sexual Assault Survivors' Bill of Rights, after having to navigate the broken criminal justice system after her own rape. 11 other laws protecting sexual violence survivors have been created modeled off of her federal law. The federal law was the 21st bill in modern US history to pass unanimously on the record. Amanda has been named a Forbes 30 Under 30, by Foreign Policy as a Top 100 Leading Global Thinker, Marie Claire as a Young Woman of the Year, and The Tempest's #1 Woman of Color Trailblazer. Previously, Amanda was appointed by President Barack Obama to the United States Department of State as his Deputy White House Liaison.
Chris Havasy - Director of Legal Policy and Fund Development
Chris started working for Rise while he was in law school, helping Amanda win her civil rights and ensuring her Massachusetts rape kit was not destroyed. After graduating from Harvard Law, Chris continued to do pro bono legal policy work for the federal legislation as it was introduced and made its way through Congress, and later managed the legal work for the state movements. As Rise continued to grow, Chris took on fund development responsibilities in order to ensure Rise was adequately resourced as it expanded into a truly international grassroots civil rights organization. Chris now leads our legal team, which consists of over a dozen pro bono attorneys from three large law firms, and leads Rise's fund development efforts.
Lauren Libby - Grasstops Organizing Director
Lauren is a survivor of two sexual assaults. She is interested in making an impact on legislation outside of college campuses. Lauren connected with Amanda through a mutual friend and survivor, and shortly after began working for Rise. As soon as she started working with Amanda and the team--which at the time consisted of only a few core volunteers--she knew that Rise was something she wanted to dedicate her life to. Lauren helped the Rise team complete our first day of action in DC, introduce and pass our Federal Survivor Civil Rights bill, and pass our first state legislation in Massachusetts--all within 10 months. Lauren, like all of our Risers, truly believes in what we are fighting for. This is why she will always be a Riser.
Sergio Lopez - National Organizing Director
As a longtime activist in the survivors' rights space, Sergio had long known about Rise and Amanda's incredible work for survivors' rights, and was in awe of all the work they had done in the short time since the organization began. This year, Sergio decided to get involved with Rise because we are one of the few national organizations actively having an impact, while empowering millennials and survivors to pen their own civil rights into existence.
Nathan Ramia - Deputy National Organizing Director
Nathan Ramia joined Rise after learning about the movement through his day job helping shape the data and technology that support national political organizing. Like most Americans, the majority of his female friends have been sexually assaulted in varying degrees of severity. The notion that their fundamental rights still vary with geography -- and are typically de facto rather than de jure -- inspired him to get involved to enshrine these rights in law. He joined Rise as the Deputy National Organizing Director in November 2016, and he works to help coordinate organizers' efforts in each of the states where Rise is actively moving forward with legislation.
Emma Johnson - Communications
Emma first heard about Rise through Amanda's interview with the podcast, Another Round, while a senior in college. She spent her senior year advocating for rape and sexual assault survivors at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, by co-founding an organization dedicated to raising awareness, creating prevention programs, and changing policies for survivors. She knew Rise was where she wanted to work in order to make an impact for survivors everywhere, and was continuously inspired the more she learned about Rise, Amanda, and what they've accomplished. Emma started at Rise as an intern before moving into communications.
Courtney Clark
Courtney graduated with a degree in International Affairs with a focus on Community and International Relations. Her research focused on the varying levels of women's rights across states, and Military Sexual Trauma with regards to male survivors and the resources available to them. Hailing from London, Chicago, and Marietta, Georgia, Courtney moved to DC to pursue a career that couples legislation and human rights, and found it in Rise. Courtney loves the organization for many reasons- the amazing people it attracts, the changing day to day and fast paced schedule, and the ball pit in the middle of the office. However, her favorite thing about the organization is that it gives survivors the agency they need to promote change and bring about their own civil rights.

YG Design - Luna de Murviedro
" The objective of the Project was to extend the present line of Cavas (sparkling wine of traditional methods) to the line of sparkling wines (charmat method). A range of brut and demi sparklings was developed, to which the "Premium" was added, and that was expected to be starring in innovation and impact.
A "sleever" (heat-shrink packaging sleeve that covers the whole bottle and allows printing all the surface) label was used, but keeping the design styles used in the normal version of the sparkling. The art is a texture formed by the moon, the sky and fauns –characters related to the night-, applied in gold stamping on a white opalescent background. The product is flashy on the shelves, but elegant and of high perceived value.
The brand "Luna de Murviedro" fits into a central half-moon."

The big news pre-game, of course, is Tom Glavine's flu. Well, unless you count all the excitement over the rumor about Kofi Annan throwing out oneof the ceremonial first pitches. With all these reporters shuffling around, even the smallest nugget of news is treated like the Pentagon Papers; KeithOlbermann, the man who made sarcasm a required (and tired) part of sportscasting, had a mini-scoop today, thanks to beig tipped off early today by a security guard as he walked into the stadium. Olbermann's faceis plenty recognizable from all his TV time, of course; the other easy way to spot him is to look for the guy wearing the pretentious leather duster.
Glavine was supposed to be the Braves, starting pitcher tonight but won't go until at least Tuesday in New York. Glavine's parents, wife, and kids were sick last week; if the flu had started circulating in the family of one of the Yankees' pitchers, George Steinbrenner would have had the guy quarantined before he could catch the bug.
There are at least 500 media people on the field before tonight's game, which drives the Braves ground crew and security staff nuts. The Braves are morepersnickety about their grass than just about any team in the big leagues; when one of my shoes -- actually, half of one of my shoes -- edges off the protective carpet along in foul territory down the third base line, a guard barks, "Off the grass!" This is the first World Series at Turner Field, and at least the grass will make it out alive, even if the Braves don't.
The Yankees are utterly calm before tonight's game; no amount of pestering from Biff Henderson, Spike Lee, or any of us seems to disrupt their preparation. As if the team needed one more embodiment of the relativeimportance of this game -- or of the fact that everything seems to turn out just fine, in the end, for this crew -- Joe Torre's special guest at the gametonight is his cancer surgeon, Dr. Bill Catalona, from St. Louis. Catalona, who removed Torre's prostate last spring, got a call from the manager lastweek, asking him to bring his family down to Atlanta. Catalona is giving interviews in the Yankees dugout before the game, as his wife snaps picturesof their kids on the field. No one wants to win more than Torre, but the mood he sets tonight is hey, just another family gathering; there's thingsto be thankful for and bigger problems than ours. Seems the Yankees family is making the World Series as comfortable as their own personal picnic ground once again.
--8:00 p.m., October 23, 1999
So El Duque pitches seven innings, gives up one hit, one run and strikes out ten, and the Yankees immediately grab the lead and get him the win whenHernandez is lifted for a pinch-hitter. Nice night's work for any pitcher, especially in the World Series. Hernandez? He's mad because he had to comeout of the game at all. "I no like the National League," he tells David Cone as Darryl Strawberry goes up to hit for Hernandez in the pivotal eighth inning. "In Cuba, we have the DH." In the American League, too, of course, but since baseball is the only sport that can't come up with consistent rules, there's no designated hitter tonight in a National Leagueballpark.
Hernandez's reaction shows, once again, how these Yankees have just the right balance of selfishness and selflessness. All this teamwork stuff starts to sound hokey quickly, especially since it's been the much-repeated theme for four years now. But it's true. When Derek Jeter, who had the enormous discipline to take a very close 0-2 pitch tonight, then single todrive in the tying run in the eighth inning, is asked about that rally, his first words are, "Scott Brosius did it again." This is true; Brosius, the MVP in last year's World Series, drove in the winning run tonight, but the longer Jeter talks, the less it sounds like Jeter even played tonight. Of course he's being politically smart, but Jeter could talk all night and not say 'I.' (Ask how hard it was for him to let that near-strike go by, after watching a strike three on his previous at-bat, and Jeter grins and says,"Aw, that pitch wasn't even close!" Right, only about a quarter-inch too wide, and moving at 90 mph.)

I hope this all passes. I am confused and can't remember what I said last. I wrote an email, fell asleep at the computer and woke to the letter H on the screen...now did I send the email or delete it and who did I write it too??? I can take all this sick stuff but it's scary when your mind doesn't work.
When things get too much for me to handle I go shopping and this time I needed out of the house so we headed off to Wal Mart to get medicines filled. It was my day after all. They were marking a cart of fabric's down to $1.00 a yard, not the quilting kind of fabric but the fun stuff you end up making neat things out of. I got yards and yards of red velvet to make a new cover for the train platform and muslin for the liner to make it have some body.
Then the fancy reds and green velvet's for those fancy stockings...maybe some crazy quilting too. Heavy brown and yellow suede that I use for the bottoms on pincushions so they don't slide all over and plastic that will make nice rain coats for American Girl type dolls.
I can never pass up a Goodwill so next was a visit to one in the same parking lot. Always check out the craft section first. Wow...a bag filled with Joann fat quarters and some other cuts of fabric, price...$1.97!
By this time my compression stockings were feeling too tight and I needed to get home where I could put my legs up and go through my bags! So a day that started out with bad thoughts of what will happen to me if my mind goes ended with thoughts of things I have patterns for in our magical world of sewing and things I can create just from looking at the color and design of the fabric.
Whom ever said sewing was out of fashion hasn't had the thrill of putting their makeup in a bag they made or picking up that hot pot with a pot holder created for them by a friend. I didn't need that $200. an hour counselor after all. The magic of sewing fixed all that was wrong for now...yeah!

If you're a freelancer or run a side hustle, check out Broke Millennial Erin Lowry's method for ensuring business and travel expenses don't disrupt her cash flow.
The little tidbit was tucked into an email hashing out the particulars of a forthcoming paid speaking gig:
Try to book your airfare ASAP as the team has given me approval for up to $500 for travel.
Suppressing the urge to roll my eyes at the computer screen, I shot back a quick response.
Just to confirm, you'd like me to book my own flight and expense it?
Yes—that's exactly what needed to be done. Sure, it would be getting expensed, but this was January, and the gig wasn't until May. Then it would probably take 30 to 60 days to receive payment (pretty standard), so I wasn't going to see that $500 in travel expenses until July. This had become my norm as a self-employed author turned speaker, but it was starting to cause an issue for my cash flow.
As my paid speaking opportunities began to blossom in mid-2016, I quickly learned the variety of ways companies and institutions pay out. Some clients pay a larger lump sum, but you're responsible for booking and paying for travel. Others give you a speaker fee and a budget for travel and food expenses, which you need to book and then submit receipts for reimbursements. My preferred method of reimbursement: You get a speaker fee, but the company handles booking and paying for all your travel directly. You just need to submit receipts for food. Even with that last option, I'm still left waiting to get paid for the gig and get reimbursed.
Since the reimbursement checks weren't showing up before my credit card bills were due, I found myself pulling money out of savings to cover the bill—because I'm not interested in carrying a balance on my credit cards. Once I got paid, the reimbursed costs went right back into my savings account. However, given that payment could be a full six months away and the speaking gigs were steadily increasing, I wasn't sure this strategy would work well in the long run. I would eventually look wealthy in outstanding invoices, but be rather cash poor.
Considering all these factors, I've made it part of my 2017 business strategy to better prepare myself (both mentally and financially) for covering expenses months in advance of payment.
Step 1: Set Up a Dedicated Business Travel Savings Account
Admittedly, I need to get better in general about separating my business accounts from personal ones. I found it challenging to transition from traditionally employed with a side hustle (in which I saved 100 percent of my side income) to self-employed. Ideally, my earnings will get put into a business account and I'll have a set salary I plan to pay myself for the year; that way, money can get reinvested in my business, and I won't feel tempted to overspend during flush months (since lean ones are bound to occur).
The strategy is to start depositing all of my paychecks into a business account: 40 percent of funds will immediately be routed into savings for taxes, 15 percent will be earmarked for savings goals, and the remainder will fund my business, with $2,500 each month going toward living expenses. Part of the money to fund the business will be put in an account dedicated to business travel and reimbursed expenses.
Step 2: Request a Non-Refundable Deposit for Booked Speaking Gigs
My fellow self-employed friends and mentors empathize with the cash flow crunch that can come with waiting for checks to arrive and reimbursements to be doled out. Several recommend requesting a non-refundable deposit for booked speaking engagements or request a percentage of the fee upfront. While clients aren't always open to doing this, it certainly helps keep finances a little more stable throughout the year, while also removing the burden of booking my own travel and accommodations. Additionally, it mitigates the risk of getting burned by a client who "forgets" to pay up.
Step 3: Consider the Silver Lining
Despite the cash flow annoyances and occasionally having to hound clients for payment, there is one silver lining: I put these expenses on my credit card, which means I get the points. These flights, even when booked by another company, are in my name and I get the frequent flyer miles. As a personal finance writer and speaker, it's my duty to know how to maximize travel rewards. Additionally, learning how to level up my travel hacking game is a personal goal for this year.
I may get frustrated having to pull money from savings occasionally, and anxious when it takes months for a check to arrive—but I'm getting paid to do something I love. Now that I better understand how companies tend to operate, I can play defense and be ready for the expense-it-and-wait-for-reimbursement game.

Hyper-V logs a lot of useful information if you need to diagnose a problem, so I thought I would put together a little post explaining where you should be looking. The first thing to know is that all Hyper-V event logs are stored in the Event Viewer under "Applications and Services Logs", "Microsoft", "Windows":
There are then 10 categories for you to look at:
This section is for anything that relates to virtual machine configuration files. If you have a missing or corrupt virtual machine configuration file – there will be entries here that tell you all about it.
This section tells you about actions and changes that happen because of Hyper-V clustering.
This section is used for hypervisor specific events. You will usually only need to look here if the hypervisor fails to start – then you can get detailed information here.
This section is used by the image management service to log information about virtual hard disk operations – like creating, converting and editing virtual hard disks. If you have problems creating or editing a virtual hard disk – look here.
This section is used to log events that relate specifically to integration services.
This section is used for events relating to virtual networks. You will see information about the creation and configuration of virtual networks here (as opposed to virtual network adapters).
This is the section where information about virtual network adapters. You will see entries in here each time a virtual machine with virtual network adapters powers up. You will also see entries here if a virtual machine fails to power on because of a configuration issue with its network adapters.
This section is to do with virtual hard disks that are associated with running virtual machines (it is the storage equivalent of the SynthNic section).
This section is where the virtual machine management services files its events.
This section is used by the worker process that is used for the actual running of the virtual machine.
Now – two pointers to keep in mind while looking at the Hyper-V event logs:
If you do not know where to start, start with Hyper-V-VMMS. As the central management service it usually has something to say about everything.
Learn to follow the trail of event logs. If a virtual machine fails to start because of a storage issue there will usually be events logged in the VMMS, Worker and SynthStor sections – and reading all of the events can usually provide better insight into the problem than just reading some of them.

Nostalgia factor
The film itself starts off with a disposed off television set that turns out by itself, revealing the final battle from the very first Kamen Rider. I only discovered the existence of the first Kamen Rider's existence when I was around 16 years old, when I first played the game on the first Playstation system. What I also notice for the film was the appearance of the most common butt monkeys from the Showa era namely High Priest Darom (Gorgom's representative), General Jack (Crisis Empire's representative) and General Black (Gel-Shocker's representative, complete with his transformation) to name a few of the Kamen Rider villains I could recognize who have become the favorite butt monkeys of producers.
Final thoughts
Overall, I thought it was an entertaining film. While I had some issues with Shoji Yonemura himself, I guess he was able to pull off something that would entertain me. I don't know if I am sharing a popular opinion or not, but as said, I'd rather not be a bandwagon fan in the Tokusatsu community, I'd rather be myself. So if you don't like the film, I respect your stand but my stand is, I like the film but it's awesome either.

Gou's death isn't actually non-canon (per se). The movie's sequel, the straight to DVD mini series "Kamen Rider 4," deals with a second time change with the goal being to prevent Gou's death.

just sayin, do you watch kamen rider 4? it sets after the events of the movie
Xavier Gray Says:
Good review. Oh and FYI, Zerons' actual name isn't Yuko Sakurai. It's YUTO Sakurai!!!
Anonymous Says:
To me, this movie is a huge letdown. A Taisen movie should be focused on blending the stories of Riders and Sentai. This movie felt like an expended Drive movie, with the returning riders being left from the action like idiots and sentai only appearing when there's a giant enemy.
While not a bad movie, I was expecting something else.
Disco King Ranger Says:
In general, I enjoyed the film. It undoubtedly was not the greatest of the "Taisen" films, but I enjoyed it more than the original and "Kamen Rider Taisen." It's story wasn't the strongest, but I enjoyed a lot of the action sequences, especially the Rider Grand Prix, and thought for the most part, the returning Rider cameos were good, especially Kotaro's.
dhathor Says:
Surprisingly, though, it was the lowest-earning Taisen film thus far.....
Anonymous Says:
Don't take it personal,the Taisen films tend to suck. It's best. OT to watch them with high expectations.
Jamie tran Says:
You must watch Showa vs Heisei. it's the best in my opinion! From the very beginning there's epic battles between kabuto and stronger and lots of others. You must watch it!

I know of amen rider4 I saw there's talk of making kamen rider 5 and amen rider 6,let's see what the fifth one will be.
God Zilla Says:
No hate for Super Hero Taisen Cinematic Universe but neither do love.
It just a bunch of moneymaker fanservice movies which I enjoyed watching from certain point of view based on homage to the Showa Riders mostly.
Showa vs Heisei is my favorite SHT movie period.
If you haven't watched it, do it. Now.

Funny thing is it's called super hero taisen. Not kamen rider taisen. But sentai has low screentime and only 1 team
