Motel was not very inviting. There were no lights turned on in the lobby not making you feel welcomed. After a long drive it would have been nice to be able to check in a little early and freshen up before we had to attend an event. Even though they had not been fully booked the previous night they said NO to even an hour early check-in -- so had to go to the convenience store down the road to freshen up in their restrooms. The next morning went down early for the continental breakfast and since it was still dark outside we expected to have lights on in the lobby, but no -- there was 1 set of lights above the seating area and a row of lights above the registration counter, at least until the attendant finished reading the paper, then they turned out those lights.

TALAHASSEE -- Miami-Dade lawmakers had their share of differences during the 60-day legislative session. But when they came together, they almost always delivered.
The 24-member Miami-Dade delegation helped stave off rate increases for policyholders of Citizens Property Insurance Corp. They fought to protect the Home Rule powers of their county. And they made sure Miami-Dade's cultural, civic and educational institutions were well represented in the state's $74.5 billion budget.
Miami-Dade delegation director Alex Dominguez called this year's budget successes "unprecedented" in recent history.
"The delegation set appropriations priorities and achieved all of them," Dominguez said.
The Miami-Dade delegation is the state's largest. Its members have a long history of infighting, particularly among lawmakers from the same political party.
There were a handful of issues that divided the delegation this year, including a closely watched bill that would have given the Miami Dolphins up to $390 million in taxpayer dollars for a stadium upgrade.
Delegation chairman Rep. Eddy Gonzalez, R-Hialeah, and Rep. Erik Fresen, R-Miami, sponsored the proposal, but several of their fellow Republicans vehemently opposed it. Reps. Carlos Trujillo and Michael Bileca, both Miami Republicans, were among the most vocal critics of the bill, likening it to "corporate welfare."
In the end, lack of support from the delegation was one of several reasons the Dolphins stadium effort did not gain traction in Tallahassee.
Equally divisive: a proposal to allow Miami Children's Hospital to circumvent state rules and build a 10-bed maternity ward for women with high-risk pregnancies.
Gonzalez made the case that some babies ought to be delivered at Miami Children's so they can have immediate access to the neonatal intensive care unit. But he met resistance from members of his own delegation, who painted the move as a cash grab by the hospital.
The debate on the House floor resembled a food fight among Miami-Dade legislators. But Gonzalez and other supporters prevailed, and the proposal is now headed to Gov. Rick Scott.
Despite those differences, Miami-Dade lawmakers were united when it came to the budget.
More than three dozen of the county's priority items made their way onto the final spending plan, including $1.42 million for the University of Miami/Nova Southeastern University Center for Autism and Related Disabilities; $1.35 million for Our Kids of Miami-Dade and Monroe; $1 million for the Bay of Pigs Museum, and $1.2 million for the League Against Cancer. The medical school at Florida International University won more than $30 million — an increase of $750,000 over last year.
"The Dade delegation really did play a role in a lot of local projects," said Rep. José Javier Rodríguez, a Miami Democrat
Miami-Dade lawmakers also played a major role in fighting rate increases for Citizens policyholders.
The Florida Senate wanted to jack up rates for new customers, including immediate hikes of up to 90 percent for people living in some parts of Miami-Dade County. But the Dade delegation worked behind the scenes to soften the measure, which eventually passed after the rate-hike provisions were stripped.
"The Miami-Dade delegation was pivotal in not having a rate increase," said Rep. Frank Artiles, R-Miami.
Said Rodríguez: "It was our No. 1 issue. That was something that the Dade delegation was really flexing our muscle on."
At the same time, Miami-Dade lawmakers worked to oppose state laws targeting local programs like Miami-Dade's "wage theft" prevention ordinance and "living wage" mandates. Thanks to their efforts, the wage-theft bill was rewritten to explicitly exempt Miami-Dade County. It later died in the Senate.
Miami-Dade lawmakers weren't able to deliver on a bill seeking to allow the county to levy a voter-approved half-penny sales tax. The revenue would have supported construction and maintenance projects at Miami Dade College.
Fresen, the House sponsor, said the proposal never received a hearing in the lower chamber because House Democrats demanded every bill be read in full for two days last week. The filibuster-like technique was meant as a protest over healthcare reform.
But local Democrats said it wasn't their fault.
"The fact is, this bill should have been heard long before the last week of session,'' Miami-Dade Democratic Party Chair Annette Taddeo-Goldstein said. "This is a colossal failure of leadership by Erik Fresen, who should have pushed Speaker [Will] Weatherford to hear the bill during the last two days of session, like so many other bills were."
Still, delegation chairman Gonzalez said he was pleased by his colleagues' overall showing.
"We were obviously on different sides on a few issues," Gonzalez said. "But overall, it was a great year for Miami-Dade. We weren't able to get 10 out of 10, but nine out of 10 isn't too bad."

On August 7, 2008, Chris Volstad made his first career start against the Phils and threw six shutout innings, prompting Jimmy Rollins to proclaim him "nothing special." That seemed a little ridiculous at the time, but seems a lot less so today as the Phils have had a whole lot of success against Volstad since.
They certainly did last night, pounding Volstad and the Marlins as they won 14-2. Rollins had four hits in the game, which wasn't close to the best offensive performance of the game for the Phils. Howard and Ibanez combined to go 7-for-10 with two walks and eight RBI.
Volstad came into the game having thrown to a 1.31 ERA over his last three starts. After allowing seven runs in four innings last night, he has a career 5.88 ERA and a 1.59 ratio in 12 starts against the Phils.
The Phillies are 55-32 on the year after hammering the Florida Marlins 14-2 last night. They are 7-2 in their last nine and lead the NL East by four games over the second-place Braves. Fourteen run is a season-high for the Phils are they are 23 games over .500 for the first time this year.
The Marlins are 7-26 since the end of May.
Hamels got the start for the Phillies and went eight innings, allowing two runs on eight hits and a walk. Three of the hits went for extra-bases, two doubles, a triple and a home run. He struck out five and dropped his ERA on the year to 2.40. Hamels now has a better ERA, ERA+ and ratio for the season than Halladay. Halladay has struck hitters out at a higher rate and gone deeper into games, but Hamels has thrown an average of 6.89 innings per start. Hamels hasn't allowed more than two runs in a start in any of his last eight outings.
Gaby Sanchez doubled to right on a ball deflected by Brown with two outs in the first. Hamels walked Hanley Ramirez on a 3-2 pitch behind him, putting men on first and second for Logan Morrison. Morrison hit the ball hard, but Howard took it at first and flipped to Hamels to end the inning.
Mike Stanton started the bottom of the second with a single, but Hamels got the next three to leave him stranded. Martinez made a nice diving play in center on a line drive hit by Bryan Petersen for the second out.
Hamels pitched the third with a 5-0 lead. Omar Infante singled to left with one out, but Hamels got Gaby Sanchez on a fly ball to left for the second out and Ramirez looking for the third.
It was 7-0 when he started the fourth. Stanton tripled to center with one out. Catcher John Buck was next and Buck hit a 2-0 pitch out to left, cutting the lead to 7-2. Petersen followed that with a single into center, but Hamels got the next two hitters to prevent further damage.
That's just the seventh home run of the year allowed by Hamels and the second since May 23. Righties came into the game slugging .263 against him for the season.
He threw a 1-2-3 fifth.
He struck out Buck and Morrison in a 1-2-3 sixth with an 8-2 lead.
With two outs in the seventh, Emilio Bonifacio hit a slow ground ball to third. Valdez wasn't going to get Bonifacio anyway, but threw to first and his throw was bad for an error that allowed Bonifacio to take second. Infante grounded to second to leave Bonifacio stranded.
Ramirez doubled to right with one out in the eighth. Morrison followed that and hit a foul ball that Martinez, playing second, took after a run. Ramirez tagged up and took third with two outs. Stanton struck out swinging 1-2 to leave Ramirez at third.
Mathieson started the ninth with a 14-2 lead. Greg Dobbs led off with a single and move to third when Petersen doubled behind him. Mathieson struck out Brett Hayes and Bonifacio, though, before hitting Infante to load the bases. Sanchez popped to Rollins to leave them loaded and end the game.
Five innings for Mathieson on the year now without being charged with a run. He's allowed nine hits and three walks in five innings for a 2.40 ratio. Opponents are hitting .409 against him. He threw 22 pitches in the game.
The Phillies lineup against righty Chris Volstad went (1) Rollins (2) Martinez (3) Utley (4) Howard (5) Ibanez (6) Ruiz (7) Brown (8) Valdez. Martinez in center again with Victorino sidelined with thumb issues. Polanco on the bench with a sore back. Valdez starts at third. Ruiz hits sixth, breaking up the lefties Ibanez and Brown.
The Phils went in order in the first.
Ibanez singled to center with one out in the second and moved up to second when Ruiz was hit by a pitch behind him. Brown was next and grounded to second with Ruiz forced at second for the second out. With men on first and third, Valdez grounded to second to end the frame.
Rollins singled to center with one out in the third. Martinez struck out swinging behind him for the second out, but Utley moved Rollins to third with a single to right. Volstad walked Howard intentionally, loading the bases for Ibanez. Ibanez singled to center. Rollins and Utley both scored, making it 2-0 with two down and men on first and second. Ruiz singled to left and the bases were loaded. Brown singled to left and everyone moved up a base. 3-0 with the bases loaded. Valdez singled to center and Ibanez and Ruiz scored. 5-0 with men on first and second. Hamels struck out looking 3-2 for the third out.
Lots of hits for the Phils there, but Ibanez makes Volstad pay for walking Howard intentionally.
Rollins started the fourth with a single. Martinez and Utley went down on ground balls behind him, leaving Martinez on second with two down for Howard. Howard hit an 0-1 pitch out to right-center, putting the Phils up 7-0. Ibanez grounded to third for the third out.
Howard has absurd numbers against Volstad for his career — 13-for-26 with five walks and eight homers for a 500/581/1.462 line. It was home run number 18 on the year for Howard. All 18 have come against right-handed pitchers.
Up 7-2, Brown walked with one out in the fifth. Valdez and Hamels went down behind him.
Rollins led off the sixth with a double and scored on a two-out single by Howard to make it 8-2. Ibanez followed Howard with a walk, but Ruiz struck out swinging to leave both men stranded.
Hamels walked with two outs in the seventh and moved to second on a single by Rollins. The runners moved up to second and third on a wild pitch, but Martinez grounded to first to leave them both stranded.
Mayberry, who just took Worley's spot on the roster, started the eighth with a walk. He moved to second when Howard followed with a single on a ball that was originally called a catch in right field but clearly was not. Ibanez was next and hit into a double-play, leaving Mayberry to third with two down. Ruiz grounded to short for the third out.
Brown started the ninth with a single and went to third on a one-out, pinch-hit double by Francisco. Rollins was walked intentionally to load the bases for Martinez, who delivered a bases clearing triple to center that put the Phils up 11-2. Mayberry struck out for the second out before Howard brought Martinez home with a double. 12-2. Ibanez hit a 2-2 pitch out to right. 14-2. Ruiz grounded to third to end the frame.
Francisco is 4-for-8 with three doubles in July.
Rollins was 4-for-5 with a double in the game. It was his second four-hit game of the last nine.
Martinez was 1-for-6 with a three-run triple. He also made a nice diving catch in center in the second. He's hitting .189 and on-basing .218 for the year. In 25 plate appearances against lefties for the year he has a .250 OPS (3-for-24 with three singles and no walks).
Utley 1-for-4. 340/407/468 over his last 55 plate appearances.
Howard was 4-for-5 with a walk, a double, a home run and four RBI. That's probably his best offensive day of the season with the possible exception of his April 29 game against the Mets where he went 2-for-4 with two home runs and six RBI.
Ibanez 3-for-4 with a walk, a home run and four RBI in what's probably the best offense day of the season for him so far as well. From May 31 to June 28, Ibanez drove in just three runs in 94 plate appearances.
Ruiz 1-for-5 and struck out twice. Despite the two strikeouts, his strikeout rate for the season isn't bad compared to his career numbers. His power is way down, though. Using slugging percentage minus batting average to calculate isolated power, he was at .145 last year is at .131 for his career and just .093 this season.
Brown 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI. He's 7-for-19 with three walks and a double so far in July.
Valdez 1-for-5 with two RBI. He's 1-for-his-last-17. Among 131 NL players with 175 plate appearances, his .277 on-base percentage is 120th. He also made his sixth error of the season — coming into the year he had made six errors in his career.
Kyle Kendrick (4-4, 3.81) faces righty Anibal Sanchez (6-2, 3.30) tonight. Sanchez has been very good this year, but was hit hard by the Rangers in his most recent start, allowing seven runs in 3 2/3 innings. He's allowing both walks and hits at well being his career levels so far in 2011. Kendrick didn't fare well in his last start, either, allowing six runs to the Blue Jays over seven innings on Friday. He's thrown to a 4.80 ERA in his six starts on the season.

The Washington Nationals hammered Yovani Gallardo and rolled over the Milwaukee Brewers 10-5 in the first of a four games series in Washington. Gallardo lasted just three plus innings, giving up eight runs and nine hits in falling to 6-8. Bryce Harper, just off the disabled list after missing 31 games with bad knees, hit the second pitch he saw for a home run in the first inning. The Nationals erupted for five more in the third. Jayson Werth produced five runs batted in and winning pitcher Jordan Zimmerman helped himself to his 12th victory by going three for three at the plate with a double and two runs scored. After falling behind 8-0, the Brewers tried to rally. Rickie Weeks and Juan Francisco hit back to back solo home runs as Milwaukee closed to within 8-5 but the Nationals tacked on two more runs in the 8th against Johnny Hellweg The Brewers (32-49) have now lost six in a row. They'll send Wily Peralta against Stephen Strassburg in game two of the series Tuesday night. Pre-game coverage begins at 5:30 PM on WTAQ.

Hey look, my fave band AND Anders in one picture? Knights of Cydonina is my Anders/Justice theme.
But look at this, I'm in love with the simplism and detail lines and oh, this is fantastic, really.
I guess Knights of Cydonina and Hysteria are like two sides of a coin for Anders. It depends on how you view his relation with Justice.
They're either working together for a common goal or Justice is eating away at Anders' conscience.
Both seem legit to me. d*u*d here's a 'Knights of Kirkwall' thing lol a unicorn in Dragon Age

Do you still love the "game" of chiropractic? Going from table to table and connecting with your patients – and listening – and caring – and helping – all without the thought of profit?

I was taught to do visualization exercises when I was around 12 years old, and I've been doing them ever since. I'd like to share the visualization I do in my car while parked in front of my office each morning.
If you close your eyes and REALLY think about it, can you visualize, down to the slightest detail, what your ideal practice looks like? Where is it? How many doctors are there? How many staff members? What types of patients are receiving care? How many hours are you working? How many days are you open? What techniques are used? How much is collected? And so on and so on until you can vividly describe every aspect?

The clever construction allows you to enjoy a precision-balanced wand that can be unscrewed and stored in a small space. Perfect for transporting to your next show, or tucking away in the drawer of your closeup case!
If you are a Cups and Balls worker, you know how important a balanced, elegant wand can be, and how much it can improve your performance. This is the wand for you!
This two-part wand is hand crafted from the finest wood and brass materials. The wand is 13.5 inches long, and has a hefty, substantial feel. The rich dark brown finished wood is accented with polished gold-color brass tips and a brass ring at the middle, where the wand unscrews for easy storage and transportation.
Please note: In the demo, Peter Monticup is using a black wand with silver tips, which is no longer available. Your wand will be brown wood with brass tips, like the product photo above, and works exactly the same as the one in the video.

Putting business cards that I use most often into the Business Card Holder helps organize my life. The tabs that stick out the right side are a good idea, but, being made of paper, don't take long to wear out. I removed them to improve the neatness of the Holder. As noted, the ink on some business cards wear onto the plastic. I cut out the "page" as reading a business card underneath the ink-stained section was hard to decipher. Not sure of another way around this.

I have the old style business card wallet. The old insert had flaps on both sides to hold it in the wallet, not a ring binder. I use this as my regular wallet to hold my driver's license, credit cards & pictures. When the old one wore out, I was disappointed I could not replace it. It was perfect. The new one holds in remarkably well even with just the ring binder flap to hold it. I would just rather have a new one like my old one.

Product serves its intended purpose. The card slots are a little tight and it's not real easy to insert business cards.

I really love this product because it allows me to quickly find a business card. The design is great and vinyl construction durable. I wish there was a way to create a larger page; it only holds 3 cards per page.

What is Crime Stoppers?
On January 1, 2013, the Rockford Area Crime Stoppers Program completed 32 years of successful service to the citizens of Winnebago County. The program is managed by the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office Crime Stoppers Division and receives partial financial support from the City of Rockford Police Department for operating costs. The Division is staffed by one full time reserve deputy, who acts as director, and one full-time civilian assistant who is employed by Crime Stoppers.
The primary purpose of the program is to reduce crime and create a safer living environment by offering cash rewards to individuals who provide information which is used by law enforcement authorities in their efforts to identify criminal activity, solve crimes, recover stolen property and apprehend fugitives, thus creating the impression to potential offenders that the possibility of getting away with a crime is greatly reduced.
Program statistics for the year 2012 indicate the Crime Stoppers office received several thousand calls. Eight hundred fifty seven (857) calls were directly related to criminal activity, and the information was forwarded to the appropriate agencies for their investigative follow-up.
One thousand-ten (1,010) criminal cases were cleared. Five hundred ninety four (594) individuals were arrested. $1,186,148 in property, narcotics, and cash were recovered. Callers were paid $49,900 in rewards for their information.
For every dollar spent, authorities recovered $23.77 in narcotics, property, and currency. NOTE: The money used to pay rewards comes from contributions from the general public, foundations, corporations, businesses, civic organizations, etc. No tax dollars are used to pay rewards.
Quick 50
The Crime Stoppers organization also continues to address school-related crime through the "Quick 50" Progam. Public and private schools throughout Winnebago County use the program to encourage students to become involved in making their schools safter by offering up to $50.00 for information which leads to the suspension or arrest of students who are involved in criminal acts. In some cases, the reward may exceed $50.00.
The "Quick 50" Program statistics for the 2011-2012 school years (August 2011 - June 2012) are as follows: A total of 70 students were arrested or suspended and 70 cases were cleared. Nine (9) alcohol cases were cleared. Thirty five (35) narcotics arrests were made. Six (6) theft cases were cleared. Five (5) weapons cases were cleared. Seven (7) miscellaneous cases were cleared. Students were paid $1,695 in rewards. There was also $2,629 in narcotics and property recovered.
Informing the Public
Crime Stoppers and the media have an excellent relationship and are committed to disseminating information to the public. This partnership between Crime Stoppers, the media and the public assists Law Enforcement agencies arrest fugitives and solve crimes.
Programming can be seen during the following television news broadcasts:
WIFR (Channel 23 News) airs the Crime Stopper Alert on Tuesday and Friday at 6 p.m. & 10 p.m. and Wednesday at Noon,
WTVO (Channel 17 News) on Monday at 6 p.m. & 10 p.m.
WQRF (Channel 39 News) on Monday at 9 p.m.
WREX (Channel 13 News) promotes the program during their broadcasts
Comcast Cable (Channel 57 and Channel 17) broadcasts a "Fugitive Alert" segment (featuring 9 wanted fugitives) several times per hour, 24 hours a day
Print Media includes:
The Rockford Labor News features four fugitives on the front page of their weekly publication
The Rockford Register Star promotes the program in their paper.
Rockford radio stations, which serve the Greater rockford Area actively promote Crime Stoppers by doing PSA's, special interviews and crime alerts on a need basis.
Lamar Advertising features numerous fugitives on their digital billboards which are located at four different locations throughout Winnebago County.
Crime Stoppers Fugitive Alert Bulletin
The Rockford Area Crime Stoppers Fugitive Alert Bulletin continues to be published in cooperation with the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office and the Rockford Police Department. The bulletin features nine individuals wanted on warrants, and is disseminated throughout Winnebago County by Law Enforcement officers, e-mail, postal services and is available online.

Sino-Indian border dispute
Sovereignty over two large and various smaller separated pieces of territory are contested between China and India. The westernmost, Aksai Chin, is claimed by India as part of the state of Jammu and Kashmir and region of Ladakh but is controlled and administered as part of the Chinese autonomous region of Xinjiang. It is a virtually uninhabited high altitude wasteland crossed by the Xinjiang-Tibet Highway. The other large disputed territory, the easternmost, lies south of the McMahon Line. It was formerly referred to as the North East Frontier Agency, and is now called Arunachal Pradesh. The McMahon Line was part of the 1914 Simla Convention between British India and Tibet, an agreement rejected by China.[1]
The 1962 Sino-Indian War was fought in both of these areas. An agreement to resolve the dispute was concluded in 1996, including "confidence-building measures" and a mutually agreed Line of Actual Control. In 2006, the Chinese ambassador to India claimed that all of Arunachal Pradesh is Chinese territory[2] amidst a military buildup.[3] At the time, both countries claimed incursions as much as a kilometre at the northern tip of Sikkim.[4] In 2009, India announced it would deploy additional military forces along the border.[5]
Aksai Chin[edit]
From the area's lowest point (on the Karakash River at about 14,000 feet (4,300 m) to the glaciated peaks up to 22,500 feet (6,900 m) above sea level, this is a desolate, largely uninhabited area. It covers an area of about 37,244 square kilometres (14,380 sq mi). The desolation of Aksai Chin meant that it had no significant human importance other than ancient trade routes crossing it, providing brief passage during summer for caravans of yaks from Xinjiang and Tibet.[6]
One of the earliest treaties regarding the boundaries in the western sector was issued in 1842. The Sikh Confederacy of the Punjab region in India had annexed Ladakh into the state of Jammu in 1834. In 1841, they invaded Tibet with an army. Chinese forces defeated the Sikh army and in turn entered Ladakh and besieged Leh. After being checked by the Sikh forces, the Chinese and the Sikhs signed a treaty in September 1842, which stipulated no transgressions or interference in the other country's frontiers.[7] The British defeat of the Sikhs in 1846 resulted in transfer of sovereignty over Ladakh to the British, and British commissioners attempted to meet with Chinese officials to discuss the border they now shared. However, both sides were apparently sufficiently satisfied that a traditional border was recognised and defined by natural elements, and the border was not demarcated.[7] The boundaries at the two extremities, Pangong Lake and Karakoram Pass, were reasonably well-defined, but the Aksai Chin area in between lay largely undefined.[6][8]
The Johnson Line[edit]
W. H. Johnson, a civil servant with the Survey of India proposed the "Johnson Line" in 1865, which put Aksai Chin in Jammu and Kashmir.[9] This was the time of the Dungan revolt, when China did not control Xinjiang, so this line was never presented to the Chinese.[9] Johnson presented this line to the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir, who then claimed the 18,000 square kilometres contained within his territory[9] and by some accounts he claimed territory further north as far as the Sanju Pass in the Kun Lun Mountains. Johnson's work was severely criticised for gross inaccuracies, with description of his boundary as "patently absurd",[1] and he was reprimanded by the British Government and resigned from the Survey.[1][9][10] The Maharajah of Jammu and Kashmir apparently sent a few soldiers to man the abandoned fort at Shahidulla (modern-day Xaidulla) at one point, by the time most sources placed Shahidulla and the upper Karakash River firmly within the territory of Xinjiang (see accompanying map). According to Francis Younghusband, who explored the region in the late 1880s, there was only an abandoned fort and not one inhabited house at Shahidulla when he was there – it was just a convenient staging post and a convenient headquarters for the nomadic Kirghiz.[11] The abandoned fort had apparently been built a few years earlier by the Dogras.[12] In 1878 the Chinese had reconquered Xinjiang, and by 1890 they already had Shahidulla before the issue was decided.[9] By 1892, China had erected boundary markers at Karakoram Pass.[1]
In 1897 a British military officer, Sir John Ardagh, proposed a boundary line along the crest of the Kun Lun Mountains north of the Yarkand River.[13] At the time Britain was concerned at the danger of Russian expansion as China weakened, and Ardagh argued that his line was more defensible. The Ardagh line was effectively a modification of the Johnson line, and became known as the "Johnson-Ardagh Line".
The Macartney-Macdonald Line[edit]
In 1893, Hung Ta-chen, a senior Chinese official at Kashgar, handed a map of the boundary proposed by China to George Macartney, the British consul-general at Kashgar.[14] This boundary placed the Lingzi Tang plains, which are south of the Laktsang range, in India, and Aksai Chin proper, which is north of the Laktsang range, in China. Macartney agreed with the proposal and forwarded it to the British Indian government. This border, along the Karakoram Mountains, was proposed and supported by British officials for a number of reasons. The Karakoram Mountains formed a natural boundary, which would set the British borders up to the Indus River watershed while leaving the Tarim River watershed in Chinese control, and Chinese control of this tract would present a further obstacle to Russian advance in Central Asia.[10] The British presented this line, known as the Macartney-MacDonald Line, to the Chinese in 1899 in a note by Sir Claude MacDonald. The Qing government did not respond to the note, and the British took that as Chinese acquiescence.[9] Although no official boundary had ever been negotiated, China believed that this had been the accepted boundary.[15][16]
1899 to 1947[edit]
Both the Johnson-Ardagh and the Macartney-MacDonald lines were used on British maps of India.[9] Until at least 1908, the British took the Macdonald line to be the boundary,[17] but in 1911, the Xinhai Revolution resulted in the collapse of central power in China, and by the end of World War I, the British officially used the Johnson Line. However they took no steps to establish outposts or assert actual control on the ground.[1] In 1927, the line was adjusted again as the government of British India abandoned the Johnson line in favour of a line along the Karakoram range further south.[1] However, the maps were not updated and still showed the Johnson Line.[1]
From 1917 to 1933, the "Postal Atlas of China", published by the Government of China in Peking had shown the boundary in Aksai Chin as per the Johnson line, which runs along the Kunlun mountains.[14][16] When British officials learned of Soviet officials surveying the Aksai Chin for Sheng Shicai, warlord of Xinjiang in 1940–1941, they again advocated the Johnson Line.[9] At this point the British had still made no attempts to establish outposts or control over the Aksai Chin, nor was the issue ever discussed with the governments of China or Tibet, and the boundary remained undemarcated at India's independence.[1][9]
Since 1947[edit]
Upon independence in 1947, the government of India used the Johnson Line as the basis for its official boundary in the west, encompassing Aksai Chin.[1] However, India did not claim the northern areas near Shahidulla and Khotan, for including which in Indian territory, among other things, Johnson had been criticised. From the Karakoram Pass (which is not under dispute), the Indian claim line extends northeast of the Karakoram Mountains north of the salt flats of the Aksai Chin, to set a boundary at the Kunlun Mountains, and incorporating part of the Karakash River and Yarkand River watersheds. From there, it runs east along the Kunlun Mountains, before turning southwest through the Aksai Chin salt flats, through the Karakoram Mountains, and then to Pangong Lake.[6]
On 1 July 1954 Prime Minister Nehru wrote a memo directing that the maps of India be revised to show definite boundaries on all frontiers. Up to this point, the boundary in the Aksai Chin sector, based on the Johnson Line, had been described as "undemarcated."[10]
During the 1950s, the People's Republic of China built a 1,200 kilometres (750 mi) road connecting Xinjiang and western Tibet, of which 179 kilometres (111 mi) ran south of the Johnson Line through the Aksai Chin region claimed by India.[1][6][9] Aksai Chin was easily accessible from China, but was more difficult for the Indians on the other side of the Karakorams to reach.[6] The Indians did not learn of the existence of the road until 1957, which was confirmed when the road was shown in Chinese maps published in 1958.[18]
The Indian position, as stated by prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, was that the Aksai Chin was "part of the Ladakh region of India for centuries" and that this northern border was a "firm and definite one which was not open to discussion with anybody".[6]
The Chinese minister, Zhou Enlai argued that the western border had never been delimited, that the Macartney-MacDonald Line, which left the Aksai Chin within Chinese borders was the only line ever proposed to a Chinese government, and that the Aksai Chin was already under Chinese jurisdiction, and that negotiations should take into account the status quo.[6]
In April 2013 India claimed, referencing their own perception[19] of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) location, that Chinese troops had established a camp in the Daulat Beg Oldi sector, 10 km on their side of the Line of Actual Control. This figure was later revised to a 19 km claim. According to Indian media, the incursion included Chinese military helicopters entering Indian airspace to drop supplies to the troops. However, Chinese officials denied any trespassing having taken place.[20][21] Soldiers from both countries briefly set up camps on the ill-defined frontier facing each other, but the tension was defused when both sides pulled back soldiers in early May.[22]
Trans Karakoram Tract[edit]
The Johnson Line is not used west of the Karakoram Pass, where China adjoins Pakistan-administered Gilgit–Baltistan. On 13 October 1962, China and Pakistan began negotiations over the boundary west of the Karakoram Pass. In 1963, the two countries settled their boundaries largely on the basis of the Macartney-MacDonald Line, which left the Trans Karakoram Tract in China, although the agreement provided for renegotiation in the event of a settlement of the Kashmir dispute. India does not recognise that Pakistan and China have a common border, and claims the tract as part of the domains of the pre-1947 state of Kashmir and Jammu. However, India's claim line in that area does not extend as far north of the Karakoram Mountains as the Johnson Line[6]
The McMahon Line[edit]
British India and China gained a common border in 1826, with British annexation of Assam in the Treaty of Yandabo at the conclusion of the First Anglo-Burmese War (1824–1826). Subsequent annexations in further Anglo-Burmese Wars expanded China's borders with British India eastwards, to include the border with what is now Myanmar.
In 1913–14, representatives of Britain, China, and Tibet attended a conference in Simla, India and drew up an agreement concerning Tibet's status and borders. The McMahon Line, a proposed boundary between Tibet and India for the eastern sector, was drawn by British negotiator Henry McMahon on a map attached to the agreement. All three representatives initiated the agreement, but Beijing soon objected to the proposed Sino-Tibet boundary and repudiated the agreement, refusing to sign the final, more detailed map. After approving a note which stated that China could not enjoy rights under the agreement unless she ratified it, the British and Tibetan negotiators signed the Simla Convention and more detailed map as a bilateral accord. Neville Maxwell states that McMahon had been instructed not to sign bilaterally with Tibetans if China refused, but he did so without the Chinese representative present and then kept the declaration secret.[6]
V.K. Singh argues that the basis of these boundaries, accepted by British India and Tibet, were that the historical boundaries of India were the Himalayas and the areas south of the Himalayas were traditionally Indian and associated with India.[23] The high watershed of the Himalayas was proposed as the border between India and its northern neighbours.[23] India's government held the view that the Himalayas were the ancient boundaries of the Indian subcontinent and thus should be the modern boundaries of British India and later the Republic of India.[23]
Chinese boundary markers, including one set up by the newly created Chinese Republic, stood near Walong until January 1914, when T. O'Callaghan, an assistant administrator of North East Frontier Agency (NEFA)'s eastern sector, relocated them north to locations closer to the McMahon Line (albeit still South of the Line).[1] He then went to Rima, met with Tibetan officials, and saw no Chinese influence in the area.[1]
By signing the Simla Agreement with Tibet, the British had violated the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907, in which both parties were not to negotiate with Tibet, "except through the intermediary of the Chinese Government", as well as the Anglo-Chinese Convention of 1906, which bound the British government "not to annex Tibetan territory."[24] Because of doubts concerning the legal status of the accord, the British did not put the McMahon Line on their maps until 1937, nor did they publish the Simla Convention in the treaty record until 1938. Rejecting Tibet's 1913 declaration of independence, China argued that the Simla Convention and McMahon Line were illegal and that Tibetan government was merely a local government without treaty-making powers. In 1947, Tibet requested that India recognise Tibetan authority in the trading town of Tawang, south of the McMahon Line. Tibet did not object to any other portion of the McMahon line. In reply, the Indians asked Tibet to continue the relationship on the basis of the previous British Government.[6]
Tibetan officials continued to administer Tawang and refused to concede territory during negotiations in 1938.[1] The governor of Assam asserted that Tawang was "undoubtedly British" but noted that it was "controlled by Tibet, and none of its inhabitants have any idea that they are not Tibetan."[1] During World War II, with India's east threatened by Japanese troops and with the threat of Chinese expansionism, British troops secured Tawang for extra defence.[1]
China's claim on areas south of the McMahon Line, encompassed in the NEFA, were based on the traditional boundaries.[23] India believes that the boundaries China proposed in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh have no written basis and no documentation of acceptance by anyone apart from China.[23] Indians argue that China claims the territory on the basis that it was under Chinese imperial control in the past,[23] while Chinese argue that India claims the territory on the basis that it was under British imperial control in the past.[25] The last Qing emperor's 1912 edict of abdication authorised its succeeding republican government to form a union of "five peoples, namely, Manchus, Han Chinese, Mongols, Muslims, and Tibetans together with their territory in its integrity"[26] However, V.K. Singh cites the presence of the Mauryan Empire and Chola Dynasty in regions India does not place a claim to but which were heavily influenced by Indian culture.[23]
India's claim line in the eastern sector follows the McMahon Line. The line drawn by McMahon on the detailed 24–25 March 1914 Simla Treaty maps clearly starts at 27°45'40"N, a trijunction between Bhutan, China, and India, and from there, extends eastwards.[6] Most of the fighting in the eastern sector before the start of the war would take place immediately north of this line.[1][27] However, India claimed that the intent of the treaty was to follow the main watershed ridge divide of the Himalayas based on memos from McMahon and the fact that over 90% of the McMahon Line does in fact follow the main watershed ridge divide of the Himalayas. They claimed that territory south of the high ridges here near Bhutan (as elsewhere along most of the McMahon Line) should be Indian territory and north of the high ridges should be Chinese territory. In the Indian claim, the two armies would be separated from each other by the highest mountains in the world.
During and after the 1950s, when India began patrolling this area and mapping in greater detail, they confirmed what the 1914 Simla agreement map depicted: six river crossings that interrupted the main Himalayan watershed ridge. At the westernmost location near Bhutan north of Tawang, they modified their maps to extend their claim line northwards to include features such as Thag La ridge, Longju, and Khinzemane as Indian territory.[6] Thus, the Indian version of the McMahon Line moves the Bhutan-China-India trijunction north to 27°51'30"N.[6] India would claim that the treaty map ran along features such as Thag La ridge, though the actual treaty map itself is topographically vague (as the treaty was not accompanied with demarcation) in places, shows a straight line (not a watershed ridge) near Bhutan and near Thag La, and the treaty includes no verbal description of geographic features nor description of the highest ridges.[6][28]
India's annexation of Sikkim in 1975 was rejected by China at the time. The Sino-Indian Memorandum of 2003 was hailed as a de facto Chinese acceptance of the annexation.[29] China published a map showing Sikkim as a part of India and the Foreign Ministry deleted it from the list of China's "countries and regions".[29] However, the Sikkim-China border's northernmost point, "The Finger", continues to be the subject of dispute and military activity.[4]

Magic Bullet System 2.0 Review
Last year, I did a review of Magic Bullet System 1.0, you can find the post here: http://nongurucpa.com/honest-reviews/why-dont-buy-the-magic-bullet-system-by-amish
Now at the time of the relaunch of Magic Bullet System 2.0, will I have a different opinion?
First thing, this time Amish corrected his guarantee problem. Last year, he gave a very vague guarantee, no timeframe mentioned. In 2.0, the first thing you will see he offers 30-day money back guarantee.
That's some progress there.
Well, I may be ahead of myself. Let me back up and first point out some issues I need to openly discuss:
1. Wild Income Claim May Put Something Bad On Your Unconscious Mind
When someone uses his hefty income to make you feel small and then push you to buy his course, there is always something he won't talk about. Even you can have everything he owns, it will still take you years(!) to get to the same level. It won't shortcut the actual work (which will be overwhelming) you need to do.
You need to make quite a lot of mistakes to understand what he shares with you. You can only understand this by actually DOING the nitty-gritty work.
Trust me on this: if you think by buying the course you are on your way to a millionaire, you will be disappointed in 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, even 24 months.
After the excitement of "buying" fades, you are left with anger.
Doing is not sexy at all. Doing is not exciting at all.
What's exciting is buying and dreaming.
This is the hard-cold psychological fact of selling.
His income is not your dream. It can only be your goal. There is usually a huge gap between your dream and your goal.
Did you notice, "My result may be unique, your result will vary"? But he still uses his income to do the sales, which, psychologically, makes you believe you buy his course, you will be like him, making over $5M a year.
Does this make sense to you?
Oh, by the way, I'm not sure if Amish's $5Million income includes his sales of Magic Bullet System 1.0. I heard it grossed over $5M in 36 hours. Debiting the affiliate commissions, it still has $2.5 Million, I think that should be part of the income? So he only makes $2.5M from CPA and other campaigns? Anyway, just something I noticed.
2. He Missed Something in His Demo Campaign
This year Amish used a GameStop offer to show you how he has the magic to make any offer work.
I'm sorry to be the party-breaker, I just need to point out two things about this campaign:
1) GameStop is a proven offer – if you ever purchased any course from Philip Mansour, you will know he has been demonstrated this offer in his course in 2009. Philip Mansour has a course of something like Conquer Offshore, he used the exact same offer to teach CPV/PPV. I'm not sure if Amish has ever watched the videos. Anyway, my point is, this campaign is really not a creative one. I like his last year's campaign better. That's a genius connection.
2) In the first pre-launch video, he talked about he is building the campaigns on Google and collecting data. In later videos, he never talked about his Google data again. Does it ever work on Google? You will never know. Of course, its pretty normal to fail on Google, but I think Amish chooses to ignore this Google thing and he may hope all the watches forget about it too. I believe most people do forget.
3. The Software – Ugggh, A Big Concern
Honestly speaking, I was enticed by the software system. He makes it so powerful, it can track anything. I do have a little problem with tracking. I find it hard to track wordpress blogs with tracking202. I'm not sure if the software can solve my exact problem of tracking, but I do have one valid concern:
The software is hosted on their server. They will have access to everyone's database, right?
Will they steal my profitable campaigns?
The more powerful the software is, the more scared I feel. If I really use the software, for one, I put my fate in other's hands, for two, I will be tied to their system forever.
I'm not saying they will steal my campaigns, I just have this concern.
This is a BIG concern once you have your own profitable offers running.
Having 100% control of my business has always been my bottom line – of course, I learned this lesson after a couple of mistakes. Now, do I really want to put my bread and butter to another system that I have no control whatsoever?
Big warning sign for me.
OK, now with all the issues addressed, let's see if the Magic Bullet System can really help you.
1. It Can Be a Massive Help to Advanced Marketers
If you are just starting out, and you don't have a winning offer under your belt, the investment of $2997 may offset you more than helps you. I found the way to success by using free or cheap software, by using a few training courses. The only way to success is doing, testing, keep trying.
Last year I created a product (WSO), sold very well on Warrior Forum, you can grab it risk-free if you want, it only costs you $27. It's my magic bullet system. It's enough to help a lot of people to $200 net profit a day. As a matter of fact, it has helped me to up to $8k a day. You can find the product here.
If you are already successful, the software can help you a lot – I'm sure of that. The training will further enhance you and open your eyes – I'm sure Amish will over-deliver.
Like I said earlier, my only concern is I don't have control over the software.
I can't make a decision if I want to check out the software, so I can't really help you decide either.
2. Amish Did Show A Wider Scope
In 1.0, Amish focuses intensively on CPA or at best affiliate marketing. In 2.0, he expands to lead generation and his own products. I think that's a real secret worth noting – you should have your own products. That's what I did in 2010. After I created my own products, my income becomes steady, no more roller-coaster income.
If you want to make a full-time living on the Internet, you need to have your own products – virtual or physical. It's a way to diversify your income.
Well, I have explained the good and bad, now it's your decision to buy the course or not.
Talk soon.

December 29, 2010
In November, 12 of the 19 major industry sectors in the private economy reported over-the-year decreases in initial claims, led by manufacturing. Thirteen of the 21 manufacturing subsectors experienced over-the-year decreases in initial claims, with the largest declines in transportation equipment and in machinery.
The manufacturing sector accounted for 23 percent of all mass layoff events and 26 percent of initial claims filed in November. In November 2009, manufacturing made up 28 percent of events and 33 percent of initial claims.
Within manufacturing, the number of claimants in November 2010 was greatest in transportation equipment and in food.
These data are from the Mass Layoffs Statistics program and are not seasonally adjusted. To learn more, see "Mass Layoffs — November 2010" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-10-1750. Each mass layoff event involves at least 50 people from a single employer.

A thief broke into multiple cars in the Bluff neighborhood of Sandy and stole some items rarely seen in police reports: sex toys.
Sandy police said there are at least five victims, but one woman had the most embarrassing police report.
"I can't believe it," said Chelsey Coutts, about her sedan trunk being broken into. "I'm still in shock."
And beyond the shock of a rare theft on her quiet street Monday, Coutts said she couldn't believe she had to tell police what someone stole.
"It was horrible. (The officer) kind of started laughing, but he felt bad so he asked me to describe everything in detail, and it was just horrible," Coutts said.
Coutts had been storing a cache of items that took her months and about $500 to collect for a bachelorette party this weekend.
"I've been storing it in my trunk because I have two little ones and didn't want them to see all the dirty things in there," said Coutts. "Lots of toys, blow-up items, all kinds of goodies."

"It broke my heart," said Haleigh Kirby, the bride-to-be, about the theft. "Chelsey's worked so hard for so long on all this, and she's done a really good job, and it's just sad to see someone come and take all that away like that. I don't even know what they could use it for."
The thief's intentions may never be known, but one thing's for sure: the party will go on.
"It's going to be fun no matter what," Kirby said.
Police won't say how the prowler broke into the cars, but Coutts said her door was unlocked.
Coutts said she's thankful for many donations she's already received to replace the items lost.
