Power Rangers is one of the most cleverly disguised cultural import the US has ever received from Japan, taking Japanese footage from Super Sentai and then mixing in some bad acting footage from US actors. We've taken a lot of stuff from Japan with all the anime and TV shows but did you know that Japan has the done the same with something from the US? (In my opinion, they did it better)
In the late 1970's, Marvel and Toei (Super Sentai, Kamen Rider) made a licensing agreement where they would have an exchange of properties to use in their respective countries. Marvel got the Shogun Warriors and made comics based on Mattel's toyline featuring Super Robots from Toei. Toei got a better deal: a Captain America inspired team of heroes called Battle Fever J (which were one of the first Super Sentai teams that led to Power Rangers), an anime movie based on Tomb of Dracula comics, and to our main topic of this post: Spider-Man.
Referred to as "Japanese Spider-Man" or "Supaidaman", this adaptation is nothing like the Spider-Man you might be familiar with from the comics and films. This take on Spider-Man has motorcycle racer Takuya Yamashiro donning the suit. No radioactive or genetically altered spider biting here but a dying alien named Garia that crash landed on earth from Planet Spider. Garia bestows Takuya with the blood of the spider which gives him spider powers, Takuya also gets some sweet gear in the form of a quick change bracelet, a nice car, and giant spaceship that turns into a giant robot.
Using all the powers and equipment, Takuya becomes "Spider-Man" and fights the evil Iron Cross army led by Professor Monster, whom Garia has long fought against to protect good from evil.
So that's the summary of the show, just check out the videos below to witness the cheesy 70's wacky goodness that a Japanese TV show from that era can provide to you. The theme for this Japanatainment came from my spamming posting Supaidaman GIFs on the Japanator Twitter featuring some of the ridiculous moments from the show that are hilarious even within context. Follow us on Twitter!
Enjoy! Plenty of videos below about Japanese Spider-Man!
What do you think of this adaptation? SHARE IN THE COMMENTS BELOW! I wanna know!
Supaidman Trailer from Marvel.com
A trailer from when Marvel hosted the videos of full episodes of the show on their site years ago. They're not available anymore but someone uploaded them on YouTube and you can check it out below.
Supaidaman Intro
The intro from the show and is full of that Japanese action show goodness from 1970's.
Supaidaman Episode 1 & 2
First two episodes of the show. Enjoy!
Supaidaman's Giant Robot "Marveller"
A clip of the aforementioned giant robot from the show. They added a giant robot to the show at the time fearing that Spider-Man alone would not sell to Japanese kids. This robot is the reason Super Sentai (and Power Rangers) has giant transforming robots, which was a first in a live action TV show.
Stan Lee talks about Supaidaman
The legend himself, Stan Lee, talks about Spider-Man being adapted by the Japanese in the late 1970's. I can only imagine what he must really have thought back in the day with some Japanese person turning his relatable-everyday-nerd-superhero into a guy who has alien blood induced super powers and a giant robot.

If you shut up truth and bury it under the ground, it will but grow, and gather to itself such explosive power that the day it bursts through it will blow up everything in its way.
as quoted in Dreyfus : His Life and Letters (1937)
on january 13 1898 the french newspaper l'aurore published an open letter by zola accusing the government of france of antisemitism in the alfred dreyfus affair. the headline of the front page was a big bold banner which stated j'accuse! over time j'accuse! has become a generic expression of outrage against powerful forces. in light of the latest information about the deepwater horizon catastrophe there is yet another instance when the spirit of j'accuse! could and should be applied.
when I think of zola, I think of my bucket list - one item on my bucket list is to read the twenty novels in zola's rougon-macquart cycle. I fessed up to this goal a couple years ago, unfortunately, I'm no better off today than I was then. let's see it's a new year and this year I'm trying to get off to a good start making reasonable goals: hmmmm, the average life expectancy of women in the u.s. is now approximately 79 years. I only have 17 books left in the cycle, if I read at least one book each year, and I make it to the average life expectancy, I just may be able to cross another item off my bucket list! sounds like a reasonable goal!

02 Mar Support bankruptcy reform by calling Congress through NACBA's toll free number
Posted at 07:39h in Uncategorized 0 Comments
The National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys has created an easy-to-use toll free number that any person in the United States can use to contact their congressional representative in support of the pending bankruptcy reform legislation.
The vote on bankruptcy reform is TUESDAY, MARCH 3rd, and the banking industry is fiercely opposing it! Remind Congress that it represents you, not the banks.
The toll free number will automatically route the caller to the correct congressional representative. The number is: 877-354-4958.
The message to send Congress is clear:
- I support the bankruptcy reform bill contained in H.R. 1106. It is the difference between me saving and losing my home.
- I want the same right to restructure my secured debt in Chapter 13 bankruptcy that corporations have had in Chapter 11 for decades.
- All other provisions in the housing rescue plan require the VOLUNTARY cooperation of mortgage companies and their investors.
- Bankruptcy reform is the only provision in this plan that can guarantee the end to the foreclosure crisis.
- For once, put control in the hands of the middle class.
The following two tabs change content below.
Chip Parker is the managing partner of Parker & DuFresne, P.A., where he represents Northeast Florida businesses and consumers facing bankruptcy, and homeowners facing foreclosure. His firm files more homeowners in the Mortgage Modification Mediation Program than any other law firm in Northeast Florida. Parker is the recipient of Jacksonville Area Legal Aid's prestigious Award for Outstanding Pro Bono Service. Mr. Parker is an active member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys and National Association of Consumer Advocates.

Miniature Kipling Christmas
Mr Kipling, the UK bakery company, has launched "A Miniature Kipling Christmas", a national Christmas advertising campaign promoting its seasonal range. The outdoor campaign shows miniature figurines enjoying the festivities dwarfed by two new Christmas products Mince Pies with Brandy Sauce, and Black Forest Whirls, as well as favourites such as Christmas Cake Slices and Frosty Fancies. Four seasonal winter scenes are included: Salvation Army, Christmas Trees, Ice Skating and Snowball Fight.
The 'Salvation Army' ad features cake dispensers, which are located in a number of key locations and distribute free slices of Mr Kipling Christmas Cake at the touch of a button. The sites are scented with evocative festive aromas and will also play a version of 'We Wish You A Merry Christmas' recorded exclusively for Mr Kipling by the Salvation Army. A donation will be given to the Salvation Army for each cake slice dispensed.
The Miniature Kipling Christmas campaign was developed at JWT London by executive creative director Russell Ramsey, creatives Mark Campion and Adam Collins, planner Alex Fennemore, account director Brooke Curtis, photographer Johanna Parkin, art buyer Romana Kit. Retouching was done by Transmission at Hogarth.
Media was handled at Starcom by media planner Anna Kasby. Interactive media for the Salvation Army was handled through JCDecaux Innovate.

Was it good timing or bad timing?
Hours before President Obama delivered an apparently long-planned speech embracing the goal of total nuclear disarmament, North Korea's rogue nuclear regime provocatively fired off a new rocket.
Critics say it was terrible timing, calling attention to just how unrealistic Obama's ambitions are.
But it may instead be good timing, as North Korea presents something of a case study in how Bush bombast didn't reduce a nuclear threat. In this case, it arguably created it.
In his speech in Prague yesterday, Obama made clear that he foresees disarmament as the work of decades, not years. And he called for greater focus on the danger of a nuclear weapon getting into terrorist hands. But his broader argument was that, as the U.S. reduces its arsenal, it will be easier to generate a stronger international consensus against proliferation.
Michael D. Shear and Colum Lynch write in The Washington Post: "Speaking in Hradskany Square, a hilltop plaza outside Prague Castle, just hours after the launch, Obama announced that he would immediately seek U.S. ratification of a ban on nuclear testing, convene a summit in Washington to stop the spread of nuclear material within four years and advocate for a nuclear fuel bank to allow peaceful development of nuclear power."
Helene Cooper and David E. Sanger write in the New York Times: "Mr. Obama said that his administration would 'reduce the role of nuclear weapons' in its national security strategy, and would urge other countries to do the same. He pointed to the agreement he reached last week with President Dmitri A. Medvedev of Russia to begin negotiations on reducing warheads and stockpiles, and said the two countries would try to reach an agreement by the end of the year. He also promised to aggressively pursue American ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, which in the past has faced strong opposition in Congress.
"It is a strategy based on the idea that if the United States shows it is willing to greatly shrink the size of its atomic arsenal, ban nuclear testing and cut off the worldwide production of bomb material, reluctant allies and partners around the world will be more likely to rewrite nuclear treaties and enforce sanctions against North Korea and Iran."
From Obama's speech: "In a strange turn of history, the threat of global nuclear war has gone down, but the risk of a nuclear attack has gone up. More nations have acquired these weapons. Testing has continued. Black market trade in nuclear secrets and nuclear materials abound. The technology to build a bomb has spread. Terrorists are determined to buy, build or steal one. Our efforts to contain these dangers are centered on a global non-proliferation regime, but as more people and nations break the rules, we could reach the point where the center cannot hold...
"Just as we stood for freedom in the 20th century, we must stand together for the right of people everywhere to live free from fear in the 21st century. (Applause.) And as nuclear power –- as a nuclear power, as the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon, the United States has a moral responsibility to act. We cannot succeed in this endeavor alone, but we can lead it, we can start it.
"So today, I state clearly and with conviction America's commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons. (Applause.) I'm not naive. This goal will not be reached quickly –- perhaps not in my lifetime. It will take patience and persistence. But now we, too, must ignore the voices who tell us that the world cannot change. We have to insist, 'Yes, we can.' (Applause.)"
Jonathan Martin and David S. Cloud write for Politico on the neocon reponse: "'Especially in light of the North Korean launch, I thought his speech was otherworldly,' said John Bolton, the conservative former Ambassador to the United Nations under President Bush. 'What is he saying about the real, concrete threat from proliferant states like North Korea and Iran? We'll take you to the Security Council. Say, there's a threat! That has had no practical impact on either Pyongyang or Tehran before and will not in the future.'"
But Martin and Cloud quote a "senior administration official" as saying conservatives "also are missing the fundamental impact America's moving away from nuclear weapons would have....
"As for the politics of appearing weak, the official suggested tough talk toward Pyongyang and Tehran by Bush proved ineffective. 'We've tried that and we made no progress [toward non-proliferation],' said the source."
Martin and Cloud point out, quite correctly, that "the rocket launch hardly qualifies as a full-on, round-the-clock international crisis. Firing off a missile has become the regime in Pyongyang's standard way of interacting with Washington whenever it wants to extract more economic aid for its tottering economy or feels it would serve its purposes to alarm U.S. allies in Asia."
Nevertheless, there is a hysterical quality to some of the coverage so far.
Rick Klein blogs for ABC News: "Whether or not the North Koreans put anything into orbit over the weekend, President Obama's perfectly executed foreign trip was launched into a different layer of the atmosphere -- one where the president's words may not matter after all.....
"With the president's trip continuing through Turkey Monday and Tuesday... this marks perhaps the best early chance for Obama to define his own doctrine. The world is watching."
Thomas M. DeFrank writes in the New York Daily News: "North Korea's rocket launch is the early diplomatic challenge Vice President Biden famously warned about last fall."
And ABC's Jake Tapper blogs about how the "3 a.m. phone call" turned out to be a "4:30 a.m. knock on the door."

Wildon in love
The main reason I love to do wedding photography in Austria, that it's full with beautiful, mystical and historical places. Like Wildon, where we met Astrid & Christian, a lovely young couple. I've learned that this small town got its name after a wild man, who was lived there in a cave, on the hillside. At least, this is what the legend says. I don't know about that, because there was no wildness when we were there, just happiness and love.
Party in rain
Astrid & Christian's wedding was beautiful, even though the rain started to fall. Lucky me, because I love 'umbrella sessions', and the atmosphere of rainy wedding day pictures. The couple was lucky too, they were surrounded with their lovely family and lots of adorable kids, who couldn't stop spreading cheers to the just married couple.
Oh, those late night fireworks
The top of this wonderful day was a sparkling fireworks show, which painted the sky in every possible color. We were lucky to be there to capture it.
We wish you a lots of happiness in your new life!

The Other Space Race
Active Space Programs in Iran, Brazil, India, Japan, China, Israel...
is it going to get crowded even without USA or Russia?
Back in the early sixties, John F. Kennedy declared America's intention of putting a man on the Moon, a dream that was fulfilled with the Apollo 11 lunar landing in July 1969. The space race featured the USSR and the USA, vying to be the first each time mankind took another step forward in the exploration of space, following the launch of Sputnik by the Soviet Union in 1957.
These days, lots of countries have active space programs and here at Dark Roasted Blend, we take a look at the other space race.

Shares of social gaming company Zynga are set to begin trading the week before the Thanksgiving holiday, according to a report by Reuters.
Zynga CEO Mark Pincus canceled his appearance at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco last week as part of the company's IPO preparations. That means Zynga's IPO road show, where Pincus and his executives will sell the company to investors, could begin soon.
Four of Zynga's social games — CityVille, Texas HoldEm Poker, Empires & Allies and FarmVille — are among the top ten applications on Facebook, according to AppData.
Groupon also began its road show last week. Zynga and Groupon are two of the most hotly-anticipated initial public offerings this year.
The sources listed in the story said the IPO plans were not final. We've contacted Zynga and will update if they say anything new.

Cydonia /sɨˈdoʊniəˌsaɪˈdoʊniə/ is a region on the planet Mars, and has attracted both scientific[1] and popular interest.[2][3] The name originally referred to the albedo feature (distinctively coloured area) that was visible from Earthbound telescopes. The area borders plains of Acidalia Planitia and the Arabia Terra highlands.[4] The area includes the Mars regions: "Cydonia Mensae", an area of flat-topped mesa-like features, "Cydonia Colles", a region of small hills or knobs, and "Cydonia Labyrinthus", a complex of intersecting valleys.[5][6] As with other albedo features on Mars, the name Cydonia was drawn from classical antiquity, in this case from Kydonia, a historic polis (or "city-state") on the island of Crete.[7]
Cydonia contains the "Face on Mars" feature about half-way between Arandas Crater and Bamberg Crater.[4]
Cydonia lies in the planet's northern hemisphere in a transitional zone between the heavily cratered regions to the South, and relatively smooth plains to the North. Some planetologists believe that the northern plains may once have been ocean beds[8] and that Cydonia may once have been a coastal zone.[9]
Cydonia was first imaged in detail by the Viking 1 and Viking 2 orbiters. Eighteen images of the Cydonia region were taken by the orbiters, of which seven have resolutions better than 250 m/pixel (820 ft/pixel). The other eleven images have resolutions that are lower than 550 m/pixel (1800 ft/pixel) and are of limited use for studying surface features. Of the seven good images, the lighting and time at which two pairs of images were taken are so close as to reduce the number to five distinct images. The Mission to Mars: Viking Orbiter Images of Mars CD-ROM set image numbers for these are: 035A72 (VO-1010), 070A13 (VO-1011), 561A25 (VO-1021), 673B54 & 673B56 (VO-1063), and 753A33 & 753A34 (VO-1028).[11][12]
In one of the images taken by Viking 1 on July 25, 1976, a 2 km (1.2 miles) long Cydonian mesa, situated at 40.75° north latitude and 9.46° west longitude,[13] had the appearance of a humanoid face. When the image was originally acquired, Viking chief scientist Gerry Soffen dismissed the "Face on Mars" in image 035A72[14] as a "trick of light and shadow".[15][16] However, a second image, 070A13, also shows the "face", and was acquired 35 Viking orbits later at a different sun-angle from the 035A72 image. This latter discovery was made independently by Vincent DiPietro and Gregory Molenaar, two computer engineers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. DiPietro and Molenaar discovered the two misfiled images, Viking frames 035A72 and 070A13, while searching through NASA archives.[17]
More than 20 years after the Viking 1 images were taken, a succession of spacecraft visited Mars and collected new data from the Cydonia region. These spacecraft have included NASA's Mars Global Surveyor (1997–2006) and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (2006-),[18] and the European Space Agency's Mars Express probe (2003-).[19] In contrast to the relatively low resolution of the Viking images of Cydonia, these new platforms afford much improved resolution. For instance, the Mars Express images are at a resolution of 14 m/pixel (46 ft/pixel) or better. By combining data from the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on the Mars Express probe and the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) on board NASA's Mars Global Surveyor it has been possible to create a three-dimensional representation of the "Face on Mars".[20]
Since it was originally first imaged, the "face" has been near-universally accepted as an optical illusion, an example of the psychological phenomenon of pareidolia.[21] After analysis of the higher resolution Mars Global Surveyor data NASA stated that "a detailed analysis of multiple images of this feature reveals a natural looking Martian hill whose illusory face-like appearance depends on the viewing angle and angle of illumination".[22] Similar optical illusions can be found in the geology of Earth;[23] examples include the Old Man of the Mountain, the Pedra da Gávea, the Old Man of Hoy, Stac Levenish and the Badlands Guardian.[24]
The Cydonia facial pareidolia inspired individuals and organizations interested in extraterrestrial intelligence and visitations to Earth, and the images were published in this context in 1977.[27][28] Some commentators, most notably Richard C. Hoagland, believe the "Face on Mars" to be evidence of a long-lost Martian civilization along with other features they believe are present, such as apparent pyramids, which they argue are part of a ruined city.[29]
While accepting the "face" as a subject for scientific study, astronomer Carl Sagan criticized much of the speculation concerning it in the chapter "The Man in the Moon and the Face on Mars" in his book The Demon-Haunted World.[30][31] The "face" is also a common topic among skeptics groups, who use it as an example of credulity.[32] They point out that there are other faces on Mars, often much clearer, but their images do not elicit the same level of study. An example is the Galle Crater, which can show a rendition of a smiley, or a profile of Kermit the Frog, or other celebrities.[33] Discover magazine's "Skeptical Eye" column ridiculed Hoagland's claims, asking if he believed the aliens were fans of Sesame Street.[17][34]
As a result of the speculation concerning their artificial origins, Cydonia and the "Face on Mars" appear frequently in popular culture, including feature films, television series, video games, comic books, and even popular music. For example: films featuring the structures include Mission to Mars (2000); TV series include The X-Files ("Space", 1993), Invader Zim ("Battle of the Planets", 2002), Futurama ("Where The Buggalo Roam", 2002), Phineas and Ferb ("Unfair Science Fair", 2009); video games include Zak McKracken (1988), Final Fantasy IV (1991), X-COM: UFO Defense (1993); comic books include Martian Manhunter (#1, 1998); and music includes Telemetry of a Fallen Angel by The Crüxshadows (1995), "Knights of Cydonia" by Muse (2006), "Hunting and Gathering (Cydonia)" by Sunn O))) (2009).

Canal Street
Canal Street in the southern part of town, was built for a part of its distance over Dutch Gap canal. No one seems to know how long the canal was there, though some speculate it was built in colonial times.
Plans for a canal over the Dutch Gap (possibly named after the Dutch Gap canal in New York) were drawn up in 1883. It would run from a point above Roslyn Street to a point above the Eastern Railroad tracks. It was to have walls of stone, but the bottom would be made of spruce or pine planks. The plan included a street that would run beside the canal (Canal Street.)
At some point the plans changed to include part of Canal Street running over the canal. It was used to bring sewage out of South Salem as well.
By 1914, this canal seems to have failed to hold up, as city councilors called for emergency repair, calling a portion the covering of the canal running under Canal Street unsafe for travel and a threat to public health and safety.

Daniel Sturridge has paid tribute to the quality and team spirit in the Liverpool squad — and reserved special praise for two of the Reds' standout performers in Saturday's Merseyside derby.
The England striker had the final word at Goodison Park as he glanced home an equalizer in the 89th minute of the game to level the scores at 3-3.
However, afterward, the 24-year-old was keen to deflect the plaudits toward teammates Simon Mignolet and Jon Flanagan, who both delivered inspiring performances on the day.
Mignolet foiled Everton time and again with an impressive array of saves, while Flanagan, playing in his first derby for the club, was ruthless and assured throughout.
"There is so much talent running through this team," Sturridge told the Liverpool Echo. "It's not about individuals, it's about Liverpool Football Club, and it's great to be part of it.
"Simon is a top-class goalkeeper. At the start of the season everyone saw what he was all about with that penalty save against Stoke City.
"He set himself a standard. It's difficult as a 'keeper to be unbelievable in every game. But Simon is an unbelievable guy on and off the field, and we're so happy to have him here.
"I thought Jon Flanagan was man of the match against Everton, and everyone was so happy for him.
"He works tirelessly every day in training. He's a top-class lad off the field. I love the guy. He's been patient waiting for his opportunity, and he has taken his chance."
Sturridge's late intervention silenced the Goodison Park faithful, who were moments away from celebrating taking all three points in one of the most enthralling Merseyside derbies in recent times.
Then No. 15 rose between Gareth Barry and Ross Barkley to apply the slightest of touches to Steven Gerrard's pinpoint cross and send the ball flying past Tim Howard.
Afterward, Sturridge revealed how Gerrard's advice allowed the Reds to strike back in the game.
"Steven told me to attack the near post, and I'm glad I took his advice," he said. "The delivery was brilliant, and I was just able to direct it into the far corner.
"It was a remarkable game to be a part of. I wasn't too sure whether I would get on, as we were holding onto a lead at 2-1.
"Sometimes when you are holding onto a lead, you don't want to make changes because it can affect the team. But when they scored, the manager told me to warm up again and then put me on there. I am just glad that I was able to help us get a draw.
"In the end we have to be happy with a point. We were a bit disappointed that we didn't win having led twice, but now we'll look to push on.
"We showed great character and resilience to get back into the game. A draw was probably the fair result."
Sturridge is delighted to have had such an impact on the derby. However, he intends to give his local supermarket a wide berth over the coming days, after a recent conversation he had with an Evertonian there.
"The guy on the checkout in the supermarket told me he wouldn't serve me if I scored, so I'm not going in my local Tesco for a while now," joked Sturridge. "The fella knows who he is, I know who he is. I don't intend to go in there for the next few days.
"Maybe I'll pop in next week just to check whether he's OK and to see whether we can move on from this."

I Recently went away with work to Adelaide for two weeks so heres a few random photos from the trip. The photo above is the City lights taken from the Mt Lofty Summit. The Adelaide lights are great to see of a night. They symmetry of the city's layout is very defined when viewed from above. Everything looks ordered and clean unlike other cities where is is just plain chaos.
The Glenelg Wharf. Very popular spot for peope to walk. Coming from the east coast it was cool to see a sunset over the ocean.
Glenelg Promenade silhouetted by sunset. Glenelg is a vibrant clean beachside town. The marina is spectacular complete with it own sailing ship in the lagoon.

Dear Emma,
I can't believe you're officially a toddler now. I've been calling you a toddler for months, but now we are really here. My gorgeous girl, my Nosy Parker, a curious busy body who always wants to know more. You run around your Nanny's house as fast as you can, going from room to room inspecting everything. I watch you trying to work out all the little things, like how to screw on bottle tops and trying to do your own zip up, and I can see those brain cogs going a thousand miles an hour. You want to know it all, and I love that.
The past 2 months have seen you go to nursery and spend more time with your Nanny and Grandpa, as Mummy returned to work. It still breaks my heart leaving you, but I think it's been a good thing for both of us. I've seen that even though you only say a few words, you understand perfectly everything that is going on around you. You know when Mummy is leaving for work and when we have a cuddle and I tell you that I'll be back at 7pm, you give me a kiss. But when I return after work, it might sound crazy but I can see you growing up at lightning speed. You seem older to me when I see you again, my beautiful little lady.
You love shoes and organisation. The ultimate is organising shoes! You have fun pairing up the shoes at Nanny's house and feel so proud of yourself when you have managed it. I think the reason you love your shoes and wellies so much is because of your love of the outdoors. There's nothing better than going to the park, or to the garden to explore a little. We've taught you to be gentle with flowers, which I can tell is against your nature to not yank the flowers off completely, but it's so lovely seeing you give them a little pat!
The past couple of months have shown us how much you adore your big brother. We always knew you loved him, but now we see that you miss him when he's not with us. I love that one of your first words was "Jeh Jeh" (for James) and you often point to his school picture and say his name…so we put the picture in your hands and you give him a kiss. The bond you both have is like nothing else and seeing you together giggling at James' jokes makes me so happy.
People always told me that time flies with children…blink and you'll miss it. I never really believed it until now – it seems like yesterday you were this tiny baby I could lift with one hand. In fact the nurse in the postnatal ward would tell me off for lifting you after my c-section, but you were as light as a feather. Those first months seemed to go so slowly and then suddenly our life is on fast forward, with every moment going faster than ever. I want to remember it all, every single moment because I know that I might blink again and you'll be going to school already.
Sometimes it's not all sunny and rosy though and we have testing days. Often you refuse to eat anything at dinner time, and get really cross when you are tired or can't have your way. I love your spirit and never want you to lose that, but it makes me so frustrated to see you like this. We try and make sure you are happy, but the fact is you can't have your own way all the time and these boundaries are important. I know one day you'll understand that.
So my beautiful toddler, here's to another few months and I want you to know how proud I am of you. Every time you come back from nursery, you have learned something new and I see you blossoming in front of my eyes. I hope you know that you are my world. Keep being curious and discovering every tiny thing you clap your eyes on, my love – the world is your oyster.

Only a few days to go: We're raising £25,000 to keep TheyWorkForYou running and make sure people across the UK can hold their elected representatives to account.Donate to our crowdfunder
Part of the debate – in Westminster Hall at 11:43 am on 15th January 2008.
I am delighted to have the opportunity to speak, although as I fear that I may not be able to stay for the closing speeches the Minister will be relieved to hear that I shall not ask too many questions of him. There is science business in the House of Lords today, and it may take me away.
Instead of going on the trip by the Select Committee on Innovation, Universities and Skills to a seminar, I wanted to attend today's debate in order to support Dr. Iddon and congratulate him on his work on the subject under discussion. This is one of a series of tributes that I have paid to him for his efforts in raising the profile of important science issues—not just chemistry and teaching—in the House. I agree with almost everything that he said today, so I shall stress just a couple of points.
There is a fundamental problem: the shortage of specialist teachers. It creates a vicious circle; if students are not inspired to study science subjects at university because they have not had an inspiring specialist teacher, they will not graduate in that subject and at least consider the option of a teaching career—in the state sector especially. The real issue is that the Government have to break that vicious circle. We must recognise that numerate graduates who understand science and are well trained in its methods are attractive not only to industry and teaching, but also in the City and in jobs that pay far better than public sector jobs such as teaching.
The Government must consider whether the huge burden of student debt imposed as a result of their student funding policies is a factor in the career choices of well-qualified science graduates. There is evidence of that, and although the Minister is quite right to point out that some statistics are misleading—as he claimed about the programme for international student assessment studies—one rarely hears the Government point out misleading statistics when it is not in their favour to do so. The Minister is smiling. I suspect that all political parties are guilty of such practice, so I accept that point, if it is the point he makes, but I campaign within my party to ensure that we improve our performance in that regard. There is, none the less, an undoubted impact when people are burdened with debt and have either the opportunity of a golden hello or the prospect of not being able to afford to buy their own house because they are in a less well-paid public sector job.
There are also issues about women in science teaching, women in science careers and female science graduates staying in science. There is clear evidence that debt has a particular impact on female graduates, and we will not solve the problem until we address the issues for women in science.
The Minister ought to consider the impact of the closure of science centres, which are an inspiration to many students, and indeed, to teaching staff, but are not Government-funded. The centres have an uncertain future because their business plans were approved without adequate scrutiny during the millennium handouts, and unlike museums that promote arts subjects, they do not receive Government funding, whether or not they have collections. I look forward to the Government's response to the report by the Select Committee on Science and Technology on science centres.
There is an anti-science culture, and it may have an impact on the willingness of students—particularly the brighter ones with many options before them—to take up or at least to be enthusiastic about science. There is an anti-rational movement in this country. Today, there is a demonstration outside the House of Lords against certain aspects of embryo research, where people will wear rabbit and cow costumes or masks to imply that early-stage, inter-species embryos, which will be needed to study embryological and genetic matters, are somehow equivalent to the creation of chimerical monsters. That is ridiculous, but it is the sort of idea that the media promote, and we must ensure that in schools there is a fight against such anti-genetic modification propaganda and, for that matter, against some of the anti-vivisection material that gets into schools.
The Government must draw a line in the sand and say that they will not accept the teaching of creationism in schools, either in science lessons—as they and the official Opposition have said—or as fact in religious education lessons. In RE lessons, it might be taught that some people believe in creationism, because it is a sincere belief, albeit one that I think is wrong, but there should be no instruction that creationism is equivalent to evolution, only that it is a belief. It is not science, and it is not knowledge in that sense.
The hon. Members for Bolton, South-East and for Norwich, North (Dr. Gibson) mentioned the need to ensure that dissection can be performed in schools. Even if it puts off a few, it can encourage others, and the Government have a challenge to reintroduce such measures in schools.
I know that the Minister is interested in these matters, and I was delighted that he held his seat at the last election. He is one of my favourite Ministers, and I hope that he will look favourably on the subject of the debate.

Free SEO
Finally, free search engine optimization is here! Tell the world about The Siteman SEO Solutions and we'll put cash in your pocket or Free SEO Services!
Free SEO Services? Really?
A lot of people have asked since our announcement how we can provide SEO for free with the amount of time and resources it takes to provide quality search engine optimization. Surely it can't be 100% free with no strings attached, right? Well, the answer to that is Yes and No.
Our Free SEO model is based completely on referrals. It's as simple as that! We want every referral you can possible send our way! Whether you've worked with The Siteman SEO Solutions before, or stumbled on this page today by accident, you can get SEO for your company/product in exchange for your referrals.
So How Does It Work?
The Siteman SEO Solutions referral program pays a generous 20% LIFETIME commission.
You don't need to do any selling. Just have your referral fill out our Discovery Form and we'll take care of the rest.
Every month your referral pays us for SEO services, every month we write you a commission check. It's easy as that!
Alternatively, instead of taking a commission check, you can apply your commissions towards SEO services for your product or business which in return can give you FREE SEO!
Think about it for a second… If your referral signs up for a $3,000 per month SEO package, you're making $600 per month. That's $7,200 per year from just one referral!
If you're currently a client with us already, you can begin sending your referrals our way to lower or eliminate your monthly investment you've been paying us. (Just make sure your referrals aren't your competition) 🙂
Example of getting us referrals:
- SEO package=$3,250/monthly —Your commission = $650 / monthly
- SEO package=$2,000/monthly —Your commission = $400 / monthly
- SEO package=$1850/monthly —Your commission = $370 / monthly
- SEO package=$4175/monthly —Your commission = $835 / monthly
- SEO package=$2275/monthly —Your commission = $455 / monthly
- SEO package=$5,250/monthly —Your commission = $1050/ monthly
As you can see, it adds up rather fast! You easily spread the word about our great work and we will pay you a nice sum of money! In this average example, 6 referrals were sent our way, and we are paying you $3,750 / month!
Our Customers Love It
I work with business owners on a daily basis and the word "SEO" is tossed around a lot. I was referring these business owners to different SEO agencies and haven't seen a dime. A Lifetime commission structure is very intriguing and I will be sending my referrals to you now.
-As of 6/01/15 Bill has sent 2 referrals to The Siteman SEO Solutions and now receives a nice monthly commission!-Bill Turner
Almost cut my monthly investment in half with the two referrals I gave Jason. When you're getting Page 1 rankings for my 3 targeted keywords, it's easy to spread the word about his good work. The referral program is just icing on the cake!Luke Bazzell
I just wanted to give Jason and The Siteman SEO Solutions a shout out for all the help and guidance they have provided. Although I knew I needed SEO help, my business was struggling and there was no way to pay for SEO. Jason understood and let me know about his referral program and how I could essentially get SEO for free. I was able to get him 3 new clients over the past few months and now the SEO package he quoted me is affordable! I can't wait till I find him a few more clients and my investment will be completely eliminated!Sara West
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a limit to how many referrals I can send?
Of course not! Send 1 or send 100. Either way it puts money in your pocket.
Are you a nationwide company?
Yes. We are located in St. Louis but do SEO for companies nationwide. We have clients ranging from Alaska to Florida and everywhere in between.
Will the commission structure change?
Yes and No. The commission structure can be changed at any time but you are locked in to whatever % you start at. Example: If you are being paid 20% on 1 referral and then we have to change the commission structure to 15%, you will still retain a 20% structure on that specific referral.
What happens when my referral's contract is finished?
As long as your referral is paying their monthly investment, you will be paid your commission. If their contract is up, then there is no commissions to be paid. Just send more referrals!
Where do I send my referrals?
Please send all your referrals to my Discovery Page. Ask them to mention your name and please let me know ahead of time sending an email by Contact Page or Chat Box below.
I still have more questions...

Your Plea
Before Court begins, you must decide upon and enter a plea to the charge against you. If you signed a citation in front of an officer, you did not plead guilty, but only signed a promise to appear in Court on your appearance date.
There are three possible pleas to a complaint:
- Guilty
- No Contest
- Not Guilty
Your decision on what plea to enter is the most important decision you will have to make. We suggest that you read the following explanations before entering your plea.
Plea of No Contest
A plea of NO CONTEST simply means that you agree the City can prove the case against you, but you do not want to enter a plea of guilty.
Upon a plea of NO CONTEST the Judge will find you guilty and a penalty will be assessed.
A plea of no contest cannot be used against you in a civil suit for damages.
Plea of Guilty
By a plea of GUILTY, you admit that you committed the act charged, that the act is prohibited by law, and that you have no defense for your act.
Before entering your plea of guilty, you need to understand the following:
- The City has the burden of proving its case against you. You have the right to hear the City's evidence and to require it to prove its case, when you go to trial. The law does not require you to prove anything.
- If you were involved in a traffic accident at the time of the alleged offense, your plea of guilty could be used later in a civil suit for damages as an admission by you that you were at fault or were the party responsible for the accident.
Plea of Not Guilty
A plea of NOT GUILTY means that you are informing the Court that you deny guilt and that the City must prove its charges against you.
If you plead NOT GUILTY, you will need to decide whether or not to employ an attorney to represent you at trial or at a plea docket. You may defend yourself, but no one else except an attorney may represent you.
However, if you are 14-17 years of age one of your parents or guardians must be present with you at trial. If you defend yourself, please consult the At Trial section, regarding the trial procedure and the manner of presenting your case.
Under our American system of justice, all persons are presumed to be innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. On a plea of NOT GUILTY, a trial is held and the City is required to prove all allegations against you as contained in the formal complaint beyond a reasonable doubt, before a verdict of guilty can be reached.

Author: Vikreeshe fine governor from ak juneau
Author: YozshurrWell-intentioned, but likely to translate into nothing. Government is inherently incompetent, but few realize that.

Author: KajikWhat about the bad water on reservations that was polluted through mining and in some cases (to this day) has a ph balance equivalent to battery acid. Clinton & Sanders were tripping over each other to get to flint to political grand stand, but aren't even aware of the bad water native americans are forced to use.

(CNN) -- Millions of men, women and children may die in the Darfur region of Sudan unless there is an immediate outpouring of international aid, the World Health Organization warned Wednesday.
"A significant increase in disease and death is inevitable without a rapid increase in external help," the WHO said in a written statement. "The catastrophe can only be prevented through an urgent scaling up of the current international response."
The urgent appeal came one day before donor nations were to meet in Geneva to formulate their response to the Sudan crisis.
The crisis in Darfur began after fighting erupted early last year between the Sudanese government, allied militias and rebel groups.
Government-backed Arab militias are carrying out "scorched earth" attacks against black African communities of Darfur, according to the United Nations. The U.N. estimates some 30,000 have been killed in the campaign of ethnic cleansing.
U.N. Emergency Coordinator Jan Egeland last week called the situation in Darfur "the biggest humanitarian drama of our time."
"This is the most dramatic race against the clock that we have anywhere in the world at the moment," he said. "If we lose, hundreds of thousands of women and children, mostly, will perish."
Sudan has been embroiled in a 21-year civil war.
Its government and main rebel group last week signed historic agreements, paving the way for a final deal to end the more than two decades of civil war. Details of that pact will be negotiated later this month. But that agreement did not address the conflict in Darfur.
More than 1.2 million of the 6.7 million inhabitants of the three western states in the Darfur region have been displaced from their villages and homes, and 2 million people have been affected, the WHO said.
"In at least one instance, the child mortality rate rose to three times higher than the international threshold for a humanitarian emergency (two deaths per 10, 000 under-five children per day)," the United Nations agency said.
Ministers and officials from donor nations were to meet Thursday in Geneva to formulate their response to the crisis.
"Bold and decisive action is needed now," the statement said.
"WHO estimates that a humanitarian crisis can only be prevented through a rapid scaling up in the response -- especially during the next three months. WHO now seeks $7.6 million for the health response in Darfur as part of $30 million needed for health work throughout Sudan, to help the government coordinate the response of the health sector and tackle disease outbreaks, improve sanitation, respond to public health needs and improve access to medical care."
"Death and disease spiral upwards when there is inadequate food, unsafe water, improper sanitation and shelter, widespread violence, lack of public health inputs like vaccinations and insufficient access to medical care. These are the realities of the current crisis in Darfur," said WHO Director-General Lee Jong-wook.
"The world must not stand by as conflict is compounded by rising rates of death that could be prevented through concerted action."

About Illinois State Genealogical Society
The Illinois State Genealogical Society (ISGS) was formed in 1968 through the cooperative effort and forward thinking of Illinois genealogical society representatives, who envisioned a statewide genealogical organization. ISGS is a not-for-profit, nonsectarian, educational organization. ISGS was established for the following purposes:
- To stimulate an interest in the people who contributed to the establishment and development of the State of Illinois.
- To seek, preserve, and make available data pertaining to individuals, families, and groups who lived in Illinois and to events which took place therein.
- To inform people of the value of, and need for, preserving family and local history for posterity.
- To encourage the formation of local genealogical societies and to coordinate and disseminate information.

How to get into exercising
Ok, we all know that regular exercise makes you fit, healthy, active and happy. But I am sure many people face a following dilemma: they promise to start a "new" active life from next Monday….but when this Monday finally comes they are still on the same old coach in front of TV.
So how can you motivate yourself to get into exercising?
- Make a reasonable assessment of your current situation.
Think how often per week you can exercise and how much time you can set aside for each work-out. If you spend even 20 min per day it will make a difference. Also consider your location and what is the nearest place to exercise. It could be local gym, near-by park or you can even do something at home or in the garden. If you are not sport-fanatic don't go for unrealistic fancy sport clubs 5+ miles away from your home…it is always easier to exercise in the surrounding area. And of course choose the activity which is suitable for your physic and health conditions. It could be a good idea to consult your GP before getting into any kind of exercise.
- Don't set up unrealistic goals.
Let's face the truth…most likely you will not be able to run a marathon after a month of exercise. So be realistic at what you can achieve and take it easy. If you are new to something start from the beginners level otherwise you can end up feeling disappointed or even injuring yourself.
- Get others involved.
The law of life says that it is always easier to face any embarrassment together than on your own…So find yourself an exercise mate…it could be somebody from your family, your partner, friends, join local clubs or sport communities…the possibilities are endless! Also, if you have a chance, get yourself a private instructor or professional consultations. It could really make a difference in your motivation level.
- Bring your childhood back.
I am sure most of us had some favourite activities when being a child. So whether it was riding a bicycle, rollerblading, playing different ball games or even simple rope skipping just start it all over again! First, the chances are that you are already quite an expert and as a bonus you will enjoy it more as well.
- Make your exercise part of the routine.
The general rule of thumb is anything what is done regularly for at least 3 weeks becomes part of a routine. The same applies to working-out….just hold on for a month and then your body will crave for more without any enforcement. It is also a good idea to plan and set the time ahead for your exercise so there is no excuse to break the routine.
Hopefully this simple advice will get you out there to explore your new super active lifestyle!
