Sun and Squalor
Sun and Squalor is a quasi-documentary of my time in Japan as an expatriate of Canada.
Web Site:
Having moved across the ocean twice in my life at major milestones, my move to Nara, Japan made me want to document the culture shock as well as my time as a dependent spouse trying to freelance as a designer from the other side of the world. Working on a 14 hour time difference and keeping my sanity is my quest and Sun and Squalor is one of my many attempts at keeping sane.

Category: Gender based violence 2016-11-22
The extent to which violence is embedded in society means that uprooting it is everyone's job, senior United Nations official said, lamenting that violence against women and girls continue to be a low priority on the international development agenda and urging more action – and more funding – to end the pandemic of such violence now, once and for all.
"The statistics almost defy belief. What is even harder to understand is why: why men prey on women and girls; why societies shame the victims, why governments fail to punish deadly crimes, why the world denies itself the fruits of women's full participation," Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told a UN Women-hosted Orange the World event at UN Headquarters in New York to raise money to end violence against women and girls, and kick off 16 Days of Activism against gender-based violence.
The campaign http://www.unwomen.org/en/what-we-do/ending-violence-against-women/take-action/16-days-of-activism begins on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and ends on 10 December, Human Rights Day.
The event began with remarks from Mr. Ban, UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Karel van Oosterom of the Permanent Representative of the Netherlands to the UN, and UN Trust Fund programme participant Aiturgan Djoldoshbekova.
It also included a musical performance from The Color Purple, Tony Award winner for Best Musical Revival, and a panel discussion on sustainable financing to end violence against women and girls.
"The extent to which violence is embedded in society means that uprooting it is also a job for all of society. That includes men and women, the media and the religious community. We can work together to address the inequality and prejudice that enable and enflame violence against women and girls," Ms. Mlambo-Ngcuka told an audience that wore orange in support of ending violence against women.
Mr. Ban, observing the Day for the last time as Secretary-General, thanked the audience for being a part of a decade of global activism to end violence against women and girls.
"You have defended the vulnerable and fought impunity," he said. "The United Nations and I, personally, have stood with you."
"This is truly a matter of life and death," he added. "In some countries, as many as 70 per cent of women report having experienced physical or sexual violence from an intimate partner. In some countries, intimate partner violence accounts for between 40 and 70 per cent of female murder victims."
Ms. Mlambo-Ngcuka thanked the Secretary-General for his advocacy and leadership, emphasizing that violence against women was not always discussed in the public domain. She called for improvements to laws and implementation, and said that while there are costs to such changes, "the price of no change is much higher, and unacceptable."
She highlighted examples of recent improvements from Timor-Leste and Uganda and encouraged society to work together to address inequality and prejudice by scaling up prevention and services as well as working with allies throughout different sectors and civil society.
"Together, we can begin to bend the curve down and bring the scourge of violence against women and girls to an end," the Executive Director said.
In his concluding remarks, Mr. Ban reminisced about his conversations with girls and women at the HEAL Africa hospital in Goma and meeting with "one of the world's great advocates," Malala Yusafzai.
"Some of the most impactful and inspiring moments of my entire term as Secretary-General occurred in the context of our struggle for women's empowerment," he declared.

London Members of Parliament home affairs committee takes a stand against FGM and girl's at risk protection,early detection! Yes! Compiled reports by Standard London,Jacqueline Dale Shaw-Mashua Against FGM,Hilary Burrage-No FGMBook,and Amb Lucy Mashua
#CATCHTHISFGMITSUCKSTOBEYOU!-- Doctors, teachers and other public workers were today told that 'cultural sensitivities' must no longer obstruct the fight against female genital mutilation as MPs called for a national campaign to stamp out the practice. The Home Affairs Select Committee said that 'misplaced concerns' about challenging traditional practices within some ethnic communities were 'one of the main reason' why girls living in Britain were still suffering mutilation. The warnings came in a report on the scale of FGM, which calls for a national action plan and the regular medical examination of girls at 'high risk'. Changes in the law would include the introduction of 'FGM protection orders' and a legal duty for doctors to report mutilation.
"FGM is not cultural, it is criminal; it is not tribal, it is torture; it is not an initiation but inhumane. Those who conduct this abuse, or silently standy by whilst it occurs, should and will be relentlessly pursued with the full force of the law"
My friend Member of Parliament Karl Turner the fight against FGM brought us together,He is one hell of a good person,I even asked him to meet with some of my UK partners of our GLOBAL FGM STATEMENT and he said "sure Mashua".Thank you chairman Keith Vaz MP,Mp Turner and all the MPs in home affairs office.Thank you for stamping the atrocious beast down!
The report that was published July 3rd by House of Commons Home Affairs Committee. The Committee chaired by Keith Vaz MP, reflects much of what we (Honorary members of Global statement on FGM) proposed click here to view http://statementonfgm.com/2013/08/28/feminist-statement-on-naming-and-abolition-of-female-genital-mutilation/ – compulsory PSHE, proper training for concerned practitioners, more support for community activists.
The British Government's FGM agenda has moved on, as activists globally and domestically have campaigned relentlessly for action to eradicate what the Home Affairs Committee (Vaz) Report tells us, even on conservative estimates, is probably 'one of the most prevalent forms of severe child abuse in the UK' [para 14].
There is much in the Report to commend it. Amongst other measures the cross-party Committee
affirms that FGM is embedded in patriarchy and calls for a national action plan – perhaps like that emerging in 2011? – to address this criminal gender-based violence and extreme form of child abuse [8];
proposes some amendment of the law to make prosecution easier [97] (mainly, to include people who are not permanently resident)
chastises the police [76] for failing to make significant efforts to apprehend offenders – whether as principals or as accessories after the fact (but more could be said about the need for a diverse police force which understands and can read the signs from different communities);
suggests that FGM victims should be given press and broadcast anonymity [36];
recommends the Multi-Agency Practice Guidelines are updated and placed on a statutory footing [45] (the Committee says they require active promotion, and queries why the General Practitioners are not signatories [44]);
recognises the urgent need for more training of front-line professionals and practitioners [44] across the health, education and social services (though it fails to say by whom);
calls for much more accurate information on where [11] and on how many girls and women FGM is carried out [12] (some systematic data collection has just been instigated);
would like to see more personal and health – including psychological and psychiatric [107] – FGM care provision across the nation [106], as well as dedicated FGM shelters [110];
proposes clarification of the status of re-infibulation [88] and genital cosmetic surgery [89];
praises the third and voluntary sectors, and individual campaigners, for their steadfast work to raise awareness of FGM and says they need much more resourcing [104] (albeit not how this will be made available);
proposes that all antenatal booking interviews include a question on the mother's FGM status [56] and that any perceived risk of FGM be entered in baby girls' Personal Child Health Record (Red Books) as well as alerting safeguarding authorities [57] (but the Committee doesn't propose any single route for this alert);
acknowledges the case for some enabling of medical examination when girls are thought to be, or to have been, at risk [37] (but with typical British reticence rejects routine examination of all small children such as in France, where many prosecutions have been secured – and where paediatric health checks are the norm);
commends the Secretary of State for Education for his recent letter to schools on FGM (and suggests re-ending it, with a link to funding to encourage all recipients to read it) [66]; and …
crucially, puts aside Ministerial reservations [63] to recommend that personal, social and health education (PSHE) must at last become part of the compulsory curriculum, and that all headteachers and child protection officers must have FGM and forced marriage safeguarding training, to be disseminated to staff before the end of 2014 [66]. The recommendation for compulsory PSHE, including information on FGM in high-prevalence areas [67] is a big breakthrough which, if it happens, will be widely celebrated by everyone with an informed view.
Thank you Hilary Burrage for candid informative report.
UK way to lead this fight against FGM and protecting British girls.

Libra forecast for Day March 28, 2017
Relationships are complicated. Why do we need to explain how we feel to someone when, if they really understood us, they'd already know? Similarly, you think you know someone well, and then they surprise you by revealing information you'd never expect. Do you have the patience to listen without interrupting, and appreciate the situation from their point of view? If you do, then perhaps they'll extend you the same courtesy. Today, if you change your expectations, though an important relationship may be complicated, it will become easier.

As It Turns Out…
February 26, 2008
I spoke too soon. What seemed to be developing into a black eye is actually allergies. The bright, red blotchy-ness of my left eye led me to believe that my eye had suffered bruising at the whim of D's elbow. On Sunday night, however, the redness and eye boogers spread to my right eye, thus incurring the fear of the dreaded Conjunctivitis, e.g. Pink Eye. I took the day off work on Monday and went to the doctor only to find out that it is not, in fact, Pink Eye, but an allergic reaction. It could be from a lot of things… smog, pollen, dust, whathaveyou… but I'm positive that the cigarette smoke I was around on Friday night is the main perpetrator. My eyes always feel like they're burning when I'm around cigarette smoke, but I've never had a reaction quite like this. It's actually been a little bit scary. Of all the body parts that could get hurt on me, my eyes are in the Top Five List Of Body Parts NOT to Injure. So, sorry, no pictures for now. We'll just have to wait until D actually gives me that shiner, and by that I don't mean Texas beer.
The illness that has ransacked the majority of Southern California in the last month or so has also pillaged my body. I spoke of it briefly in a post from a few days ago, but let me tell you, this thing is hanging on, and it's not fun. I can't sleep because I'm up late coughing. The worst part about it is that my voice has been gone since Saturday, and though this wouldn't seem like a big problem for a staunch introvert such as myself, it really is getting difficult.
You see, I'm having a really hard time right now and not being able to talk to anyone about it makes it even more difficult. While moving to a new place in a big city is an amazing adventure, all adventures come with their booby traps. Tonight I started crying on the phone with D, which was pretty funny and pathetic now that I look back, and I told him, in my raspy, almost-nada voice, "I feel like I've been running up hill for the last four months." Life will always be full of moments of joy, followed directly by the inevitable banana peel on linoleum. This is called Adulthood. I can't think of a single day in the last few weeks where I haven't teared up at least once. Even during the Oscars (several times). (And by the way, my amazing boyfriend won the Oscar pool, thus gaining around $80. I was very proud. And it was very weird watching the Oscars on television in Hollywood when they were actually happening less than a mile away.)
Anyway, today has been especially bad on the emotional venue: I finished the third season of LOST, which is, by the way, the greatest season so far, and how in the world do you people live without a little LOST in your lives? It has changed my life, and I'm not even kidding. I cried through, oh, about the last 20 episodes.
But the thing that really makes me concerned about my emotional health is that my dad and mom sent me a Dayspring e-card over the internet today. It has really sweet music and a sheep knitting socks, then suddenly a gust of wind lifts the sheep up and twirls her around and sets her down, and her socks fall a little ways from her on the grassy hill where she sits. Then the card says something like, "Hoping Jesus knocks your wooly socks off," and let me tell you, people, I not only teared up, but I SOBBED through the WHOLE THING. I'm like a pregnant woman on her period during menopause.
Now, before you go shipping me off to the loony bin ("I don't want to go to the loony bin… I want to go to the brewery." Name that movie, and I'll give you a prize), please understand that I had just finished watching Season 3 of LOST, which really is something to laugh and cry and whoop about. And I had just finished admitting to D as well as I could through my whispery voice that stuff has been pretty rough lately.
"I just wish I knew what I was doing with my life," I told him, convinced that all my problems will vanish as soon as I find my destiny.
"But you're in California," he said, "you are doing something with your life."
So, I'm going to keep running up that hill, even though that ridiculous e-card made me miss my family more than I've ever missed them before. I'm going to keep running because I've made it this far and because D told me tonight that he feels calmer when I'm around and because my brother and his family are coming to visit in a few weeks and because I have a job and an apartment and a life that I am doing something with right now, as I sit at the kitchen table in my pajamas.
That's Quite a Shiner.
February 24, 2008
Yesterday D gave me a black eye. When I text messaged him this morning to let him know he had done so, he wrote back, "Are you serious? I'm so sorry," and after I told him he did indeed, and that it doesn't hurt (much) — it just looks bad — I'm sure he went off to tell his friends that he gave his girlfriend a black eye.
Never one to get into fights as a young child, I have only had a black eye two other times in my life. Once, as a little girl, I fell off my bike, and I think I hit the handle or something. This is only a vague remembrance. My brother, incidentally, had a similar accident the same week, and Mom refused to take us anywhere because she was afraid people would think she was abusive.
Also, as my only act of rebellion in my entire life, I got my eyebrow pierced my freshman year of college. I had a black eye from that for about a week. And it really wasn't an act of rebellion or anything that serious or sinister. I just wanted one.
This black eye was a result of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I went down to D's place yesterday to spend my Saturday with him, and we were cuddling. He reached down to the floor to grab something — maybe his phone? I don't remember — and when he sat back up, his elbow was out, and it hit my eye. I said, "Ouch," because it hurt, and he apologized and asked if I was okay, and I said, "Oh, it's fine," but then I woke up this morning with a huge eye booger in the corner of my eye. Apparently the injury caused my tear duct to work overtime. The mirror shows an angry, red eyeball and a small purplish bruise beneath my eye. You can't really tell unless you look at it closely, but that will probably change tomorrow. If it looks any shinier, I promise to post pictures.
I'm going to tell everyone that I got it defending my boyfriend's honor.
Fondly Remembering When I Had Time to Blog…
February 20, 2008
I am sick for the sixth time since October. I took a sick day from work today, and while it's not fun when your body aches all over and burns with fever then chills up, it is nice to have a day of rest. Why have I been sick so many times? I wonder if my immune system has been all wacky because of stress. Since October, this little body o' mine has undergone almost constant stress, what with moving twice, saving money, finding a job, finding an apartment, and all the other obstacles, tra la la.
Speaking of stress, I went to the DMV this morning even though I'm sick because I need to get all my driving stuff transferred over to California. Thankfully I made an appointment, so I didn't have to deal with the front desk lady who was reaming out the guy in front of me because he didn't get the title on his car changed and had bought the car in July. She stood up behind the desk, turned to the people waiting in plastic chairs and yelled, "Did you hear that, y'all? Don't you come in here trying to change over a title that should've been changed back in Ju-ly. If your car had gotten impounded, you wouldn't be able to get it back." I was standing behind Reamed-Out Guy when it happened because I hadn't yet realized that I could slyly escape that line and move to another line for those who already had appointments. Reamed-Out Guy turned around and glanced at me — probably for sympathy — and he had a can-you-effing-believe-this??? look on his face and ultimate fear in his eyes. I smiled at him and widened my eyes, like, "I know, Dude. I know." I then caught sight of the sign just above the counter, which said the line I was standing in was for inconveniences customers who had not made appointments. I had made an appointment, hurrah! hurrah! and stepped over to the much shorter line for appointments only. The only thing was, I forgot my passport or birth certificate. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I rushed home, hoping I could find my passport in the boxed rubble that is currently my bedroom, but I have no idea in helsinki where my passport is. I used to keep it in my jewelry box because I could find it easily there, but since I packed everything up and sold my jewelry box on a garage sale (it was getting too small for the multitudes of precious gems bestowed upon me by a vast queue of handsome suitors), I have no idea where I put it. I know exactly where my birth certificate is. In Minnesota. In my filing cabinet.
So, I came home, exhausted from the exertion of skirting Mean DMV lady and from the effort of wildly digging through the boxes of rubble to find the passport. Geez, it annoys me when I can't find stuff. But, I brought the paperwork with me and am filling it out to have it ready for my next DMV appointment on Tuesday.
Now I am in my pajamas, getting fat on chips and M&Ms, hoping my fever goes down so I won't be so cold anymore.
Here are some photos. I've been trying to post these for a while, but the internet has been wacky:
I snapped this on the commute home one evening. This is Los Angeles on a clear day, just before sunset. If not for this, the commute would kill us all. And, more realisticly speaking:
This is LA on a normal day, taken atop of D's brother G's street in Laurel Canyon. The other day Mom told me she wanted to be in California too because I was telling her all the terrific adventures I've been having. Then I said, "Mom, the pollution and traffic are killing me." When people say it's bad, there's no pessimism about it. IT'S BAD. But there are, literally, breaths of fresh air, and when they come along, they're spectacular.
(Speaking of breaths, there's this guy I know who is originally from Italy, and he constantly says, "breathe" in statements, such as "we can hardly breathe," except he says it pronouncing a "d" instead of the "th", and I constantly think he's coming on to me: "We can hardly breed." "Let's clean some of this up so we can breed in here." "Whew, I can finally breed.")
A few weeks ago Roommate J and I were still staying with D's brother G because we had yet to find an apartment of our own. I had just started my job and had the opportunity to go to a promotional luncheon for fresh produce growers to attend and promote their products. (I work at an organic juice company. I tell people that I squeeze the oranges all the live-long day, but really folks, I'm the bookkeeper.) I got a whole bag of free food, and I brought home a vegetable tray for the three of us to sup together. So, we had dinner on the floor of Galen's bedroom (the only warm room in the house as Californians do not believe in central heat) and drank the product of my labor: blood orange juice.
This is Roommate J and me on the same evening:
On Valentine's Day, D and I celebrated the fact that we've been poking one another on Facebook for an entire year.
You know it's a special occasion when I wear earrings. I don't own any of my own, so I borrowed these from Roommate J.
He came over and made me dinner:
Later that weekend, D came over again, and we celebrated my first paycheck. I took him to dinner on Washington in Culver City, which is only a mile away from my residence. And let me tell you, Culver City is magical in the evening, dining el fresco with your boyfriend at a delicious Italian restaurant, with well-dressed people milling by and white lights wrapped around all the trees on the boulevard. This was one moment of breeding breathing amid the traffic, smog, and general frustrations of living in a big city.
Yesterday a man came into the office and reamed me out for parking in the Tai Kwon Do parking behind my building. This parking was not marked with any signs, but he told me that if I did it again, he'd charge me. I felt bad, started taking it personally, and said, "I'm sorry. I wasn't aware I shouldn't park there. I'll move my car right now." I should've not let it bother me and said, "So, you're a Tai Kwon Do master? If it were anyone else I would have fought you for it." A friend once told me that the city hardens you and squeezes out your sensitivity. I have experienced that to a degree, but it is my goal to hang onto that sensitivity I have, which some consider to be a fault, but I consider to be valuable.
More Trafficking…
February 13, 2008
Los Angeles traffic is everything people say it is and then some. My place of employment, thankfully, has provided me with the option of coming in at 8 a.m. instead of the usual 9 a.m. work time so I can miss traffic in the morning; taking a 1/2-hour lunch break; and leaving at 4:30. For the most part, I forgo the craziness of the traffic. The first week I arrived I realized that learning to drive in Minnesota has prepared me at least somewhat for the wonky city traffic: Driving with L.A. drivers is like driving during a blizzard.
It is a rare occurrence when I don't see an accident on the road in the course of a day (Mom, don't panic). Over and over again, the audacity of my fellow-drivers on the bright roadways of this sunshine-y state baffle and perplex me, while, so far, providing more cause for laughter than for bitterness. Take yesterday for example:
I am driving home from work and stop at a red light, which promptly turns green. I begin to proceed across the intersection when a white Lexus SUV sitting on the intersecting street guns it to make a right turn in front of me. I repeat, I have the green light. So, I honk. Honking is just what people do around here. Then big sunglasses lady inside tells me I'm #1… but with the wrong finger. And not only does she extend said finger in the rear view mirror, but she also shakes it… a good strong shake, not a dead-fish shake.
Los Angeles may be the only place on earth where other drivers get pissed at you when they make traffic violations.
I forgot to tell y'all that it's only a month until I get to see these beloved little people!!! (My brother and sister-in-law and their two kids are coming to visit next month. Disneyland, here we come!):
Niece Lydia
Nephew Ezra, and yes he is holding a bust of Elvis.
Living In a Movie

On the way home from work today, I was waiting at a green light for a homeless woman to cross the street so I could make a left turn. She stopped in the middle of the street, reached down, and picked up something, while I was waiting for her with a line of cars behind me, unsure if I should just go around her, lest she decide to run right in front of me. I figured she must've stopped to pick up some change, but I realized I was wrong when a thunk hit my roof, and I looked up to find her waving her hand dismissively and glaring at me. All I was doing was waiting to make a left turn. I didn't even honk. There's a reason Los Angeles' largest industry is film: More often than not, living here feels like living in a movie.
Back On the Internet
February 10, 2008
Hi, Friends. This is a post I wrote about a week ago while living with D's brother G in Hollywood. Since then I have moved into my own apartment — today is day 2 living at our fabulous place! I haven't had internet access except at work for quite a while, so I haven't been able to post. Now that things are getting much more settled, and now that I have my own place, I should be able to post more frequently again. Without further ado:
Today was a day of firsts, full of Big City fodder. I am having trouble making my brain work right now – have not started having new job dreams at night but am betting they will seep into my sleep tonight – and I hope I can make sense of all this, because I can't tell you how awesome the last few days in the big city have been. I might just have to write a list for the sake of letting my mind rest. That's what you get when you work a largely financial job. I am enjoying my work, but man, there are a lot of things to learn, and many of them require me to stretch my thinking. I look forward to the day when all this comes easily, and I come home from work aching for a creative outlet rather than aching for a shower and a bed.
Today I had my first celebrity sighting since moving here. This might be my first celebrity sighting ever. Actually, no, I take that back – I once saw Kevin Garnett at the Target Center (former Minnesota Timberwolves basketball player), and David Robinson (former San Antonio Spurs basketball player) allegedly waved at my brother and me at another Timberwolves game. We aren't certain, but it just might be so. Also, when I was little, I met Christine Wyrtzen and got her autograph. Now, maybe you don't know who she is, but we certainly did as children. She hosted a kids' program on Christian radio called Critter County when I was little, and the only disappointment when I met her was that she didn't bring Sydney the Squirrel. And yes, friends, I still do have Ms. Wyrtzen's autograph.
Anyway, my first REAL celebrity sighting took place this evening, and it's a good thing D's brother G was in the car with me because I totally would not have known who the person was unless G had said it. We were driving down Hollywood Boulevard on our way to Los Feliz to find a diner after I got home from work. I had a hankering for some pancakes. We saw the limo and the flash bulbs and slowed enough to look over and see who got out of the limo. She stepped away from the photographers and to the fans to sign a few autographs, and there was this tiny, cute little lady in a bright green dress, whom was none other than Beyonce.
Which really got me thinking, you know. Not about Beyonce, really, or even green dresses even though I want to look up a picture of the dress she was wearing once I have stable internet access. What I was really thinking about was a flannel graph. You know… flannel graphs… those felt boards that Sunday School teachers used to use with all kinds of felt characters and felt settings to illustrate Bible stories. For the longest time, I've wanted to set up a flannel graph in my apartment, with scraps of felt nearby so friends who come over could leave their mark on my apartment by creating something for the flannel graph before they leave. Now I have another idea for the flannel graph. Once I move into my apartment, which should be Thursday (!!!!), I need to make that flannel graph, and part of its purpose will be to chronicle my celebrity sightings. For every celebrity I see, I will make a flannel graph character.
Incidentally, Beyonce is the only celebrity I've seen so far, though I narrowly missed Donald Sutherland the other day when roommates J and J and I were having lunch at Subway in Santa Monica, just a few blocks from where I work. However, I keep thinking that I see celebrities, or rather, one celebrity in particular: Stephen Spielberg. This phenomenon has gone on since even before I arrived in California; indeed, it has been a years-long occurrence where not a few months pass before I think I see Stephen Spielberg. My Stephen Spielberg sensors have been even more acute lately, now that I am consistently in Hollywood, and I drive through Beverly Hills on my way to work. I find myself staring at important-looking bearded men in BMWs or Lexi (plural Lexus), or sports cars, all the while thinking, Stephen Spielberg? STEPHEN SPIELBERG?
I've yet to see him. And even if I did see him, I'm not convinced that I would believe it's him. I also thought I saw Dustin Hoffman in Panera the other day. G got up and pretended to get more coffee just to get a closer look. No Dustin Hoffman, but at least in that case, G verified that the guy did look an awful lot like Dustin Hoffman.
Today I also wrote a check for more money than I've ever spent in one check in my whole life: $1,647.50. Welcome to becoming a renter in Los Angeles. The good news is that I totally planned the exact amount I would need to get started in L.A. whenever I was saving money to get here. That is a huge sigh of relief. The roommates and I signed a lease today, and we can move in on Thursday. The apartment is way more than I wanted to spend – I'm not going to tell you how much per month because it will give you an aneurism, and I can't be party to your death – but suffice it to say that I will have to make some major sacrifices. But it's okay. My roommates and I might consider taking on a few more roommates in the future. I can afford the place. It's in my budget. But it would be nice to have a bigger cushion.
Yesterday I yelled for the first time ever in a football game. How could one not get caught up in the triumph of the Giants' final touchdown in the Super Bowl? For the first time in my life, someone took the time to explain to me what was going on in a football game. Millions of doors opened for me, and the light shined in. D has enlightened my life in so many ways, but perhaps the most important was on that momentous occasion, when a Great American Pass Time finally made sense. It changed my life.

HET Mig-29 Vs FlyFly Mig 29
At one point in time I was sold on getting a HET Mig-29, mainly because it is a twin EDF, is of decent size, and it can have retracts.
All the sudden I have great interest in the fly fly mig 29. I understand there is a size difference, but it seems to be what I am looking for as well. The only differences I can come up with are the size, and the materials each is made out of. If I went with the fly fly, I would fiberglass cloth the whole airframe. I've heard both good and bad things about each: the Fly Fly tailerons are known to break. the Het's wings are known to fold in flight. (Het is notorious for quality control issues in general, especially with newer kits). In terms of price,they come out about the same price, as the fly fly comes with fans and the kit cost less. The HET does not come with fans and the kit cost more. So its very close in terms of price. The main obstical I would have with the fly fly is transportation to the field, so I would probably have to make the wings detachable. It has to fit in the trunk of a ford tauras. here is what I am looking for: Larger size EDF Handles more wind Takes off from grass (very short) Has retracts. Speed. Can someone comment on why I should choose one over the other? |
Well Jepe seams to think that the foam has got great potential, after you glass the airframe and put in a decent power plant, i think it has huge potential too.
you might want to have a look at what he is doing and maybe even get the plane & fan from him too. if you want power and speed your not gona get it from that flyfly fan and motor. here is his site http://jepe.org/index.htm Simon |

On average, listings lease in the $20's per square foot per year. The St. Petersburg submarket is seeing a decline in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate decreased $1 per sqft per year. That's a 3% decrease in rent.
In the last 90 days, 90 listings have been posted online, so you'll want to check back regularly for new listings. About 1% of the available leases in the St. Petersburg are subleases, so you will probably have to consider a longer term lease. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet available, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
Even though the median size is 2,960 sqft, there are still 0 new listings below 2,000 sqft. Most buildings in this area are close to 2 stories. Most buildings in this market were built in 1950 and are Class B.

Sci fi/Fantasy image by
Jennifer HatchSo I've been trying to work on colouring, as a friend had mentioned that THAT may get me more views. Not like I'm trying to buy popularity here, but it's tough to grow as an artist when no one really sees your stuff to comment/critique it. Anyways, this is Gryphon, he's an archer. I like his quick sketch, and his colour is surely better than Kaeleighs!

Google Buys Instagram Rival Nik Software
Google on Monday announced it has acquired Nik Software, maker of the popular Snapseed photo editing and sharing app.
"Today I'm excited to welcome Nik Software to the Google family! We want to help our users create photos they absolutely love, and in our experience Nik does this better than anyone," Vic Gundotra, Google's senior vice president of engineering, wrote in a Google+ post announcing the acquisition.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The acquisition comes after rival Web giant Facebook completed its own purchase of photo-sharing app Instagram.
San Diego, Calif.-based Nik Software, established in 1995, makes digital imaging software for desktop and mobile devices. The company's Snapseed app lets users edit photos, add filters, and share them on Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, or via email.
"We've always aspired to share our passion for photography with everyone, and with Google's support we hope to be able to help many millions more people create awesome pictures," the Nik Software team wrote in a blog post Monday.
Snapseed is available for iOS devices as well as Mac and Windows computers, and Nik Software is currently working on an Android version. At $4.99, Snapseed is more expensive than most iPhone apps, but earned high marks in our review for its powerful photo correction capabilities. Apple in 2011 named Snapseed the top iPad app of the year. The same year, Instagram was declared iPhone app of the year.
Meanwhile, Google's Gundotra also said that more than 400 million people have signed up for Google+ since it launched a year ago, and the social network just crossed 100 million monthly active users.
For more, check out our full review of Snapseed.

Why do you have to say that it's "hate" ? what's wrong with us having a different opinion that you ? Does it help to demonize us ? Does it make us easier for you to understand, to claim that we hate / I merely wish to see some things remain the same. tradition is important, so is balance...Not a matter of hate, at all. But, if it's easier to hate than to understand, then you must hate us, too.<quoted text>
The good old days werent all that good, I wish people understood that. They long for the days when people of another color were denied civil rights, when women where second class criticisms, I dont long for the "good old days" because there werent any.
The future to me looks brighter than the past.
Freedom is taking hold, the world is struggling with it, but it is expanding around the world.
It is ok for people to be themselves, not a carbon copy of what something thinks they should be.
I honestly dont understand all the hate, but I can clearly see where much of it comes from.

You're not speaking proportionately, you're generalizing, because straight Christians make up the majority, in any group in Amerikkka. I think that the majority of straight Christians want to electrocute Sandusky. This makes them more righteous than anyone else. Right ? |

Site News
Ok, we're just in the process of recovering from a horrendous outage. The database has been restored from a backup (with some ~12 hours of dataloss) and I'm bringing the images back online now. What happened is as follows:
- Last night at approx: 8pm AEST I noticed that the site was responding slowly to requests. I rebooted an made a note that I will resize the server that we're running on up to the next tier as we'd been getting a lot of traffic.
- At 9am AEST I made a resize request through the Dreamhost compute panel to move to the next tier. The resize didn't complete successfully and the server entered an error state that I could do anything to via the online interface.
- At 9:30am AEST I submitted a support request for the server to be restarted or fixed.
- As of 5:00pm AEST I had no response from Dreamhost about the server so I began to restore the nightly backups of images + database to a new server hosted on Vultr.
- As of now (8:05pm AEST) I seem to have successfully restored the site for the English and Russian versions.
I will post some more about this tomorrow. I deeply regret what's happened over the last 12 hours and the data loss that has occurred. (The first ever in the history of the Tekkenpedia). Samuel (talk) 09:08, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
Fixed a bug with file uploads where files larger than 1M weren't able to be uploaded. This has been upgraded to 100M. Samuel (talk) 08:47, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
Some more updates including enable HTTP2 + SSL for the website. If you're using a modern browser then everything should feel a lot faster. Samuel (talk) 22:59, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
I've made some updates to the layout of the site to make things work better on mobile devices. Some infoboxes need review as they have very long URLs in them which are breaking the layout. These need to be replace with short text descriptions (like I've done with the Tekken 1 and Tekken 2 articles.) Samuel (talk) 01:27, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

A study of 21 country estates across Europe, including four in the UK, found every one had been affected by a rapidly warming climate, according to a report.
Researchers from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit and the Country Land and Business Association (CLA), who carried out the study, said urgent action was needed to minimise the impact of climate change on food and forest production.
Dr David Viner, senior climate scientist at the University of East Anglia and co-author of the report, said: "We are already seeing the impacts of climate change on all of the estates we examined and our models show that this is just the beginning.
"Hotter summers, increased droughts and sporadic, heavy rainfall have huge implications for agriculture.
"Sea level rise remains a major threat in many areas, as does an increased risk of forest fires, as we have already seen this summer."
Scientists expected many native plant and animal species to be lost as they moved northwards, and an increase in the number of pests affecting people, animals and trees, he said.
The report said governments across the EU needed to help and encourage landowners to counter the effects of climate change.
Michael Sayer, of the CLA, said: "Our climate is warming faster than previously thought and the impact on agriculture and forestry has been understated.
"Landowners are taking this seriously, but the EU urgently needs to produce a coherent policy."

This interesting looking headphones does their job very well. Once I plug them in, I can cut my ties to this world and focus on my music and work. I can say that they are canceling the noise outside and I can feel there is a carnival in my brain :). The carrying bag comes with this feels like letter and IT IS NOT MAGNETIC. Interestingly there is a bottle opener in a ring shape comes with the package, too.
I can use this all the devices I have including my laptop and cell phone (note 5). Compare to my skullcandy headphones (similar price) this product has better sound quality and noise canceling feature.
Disclaimer: I received this product for free in exchange of my unbiased and honest review. If you have any question please feel free to ask before your purchase and if you like my review and think this is helpful, please let me and amazon to know by clicking yes. Also feel free to follow me :)
The earbuds sound nice daul drivers. However they are cheaply made obviously because the right has already stoped working due to cheap wires. The earbuds that came with my s5 active sound just as good and have lasted longer than these by a hole year.
They're not bass headphones the bass is terrible they have the sound quality of headphones that you can buy at the dollar store. They're not bass and not even good sound quality don't waste your money people.

We gave The Spice Thai Cuisine a try during our drive from Minnesota to Colorado for a skiing vacation. Wow, what a pleasure. The food was delicious, expertly flavored, and served promptly.

For Thai food, we usually go down to Ankeny to Thai Kitchen. We love Asian food and frequent many of Ames' restaurants -- and they're good in their own ways.

This is a very nice restaurant, and the food is quite good. I haven't found the food to be as spicy as other Thai places though. It seems very Americanized, but I can understand they are appealing to the masses. Overall it is a nice place with clean & appealing decor, good food, and decent service. I would recommend.
My husband and I love Spice! We always enjoy the food that we order here. The servers are kind and prompt. Spice has a gluten free menu for those who must avoid wheat or gluten. There are a nice variety of options on both the regular and gluten free menus. They also serve alcohol, appetizers, and dessert. The fried rice... More
I visited this restaurant with my friends in November, 2012 as one of our friend had been there before and liked the food.

We picked this restaurant because we are both vegetarian and I'm gluten free. When we went in, the owner himself came to our table and discussed our needs and personally recommended some options, and then went to the kitchen and told the cooks how to prepare it. It was a fabulous meal, delicious and nutritional.
We went to The Spice at the prime dinner hour (6:00) and were able to be seated right away. The atmosphere was quite nice and the staff were extremely helpful, especially as it was our first time eating there. They offer both a vegetarian and a gluten-free menu and all of the food is prepared to order so it is... More

If you like Thai food, you will love The Spice. The food is consistently delicious and I, for one, am absolutely addicted to the Pad Ka Prow with chicken while my best friend loves the Pad Thai. The atmosphere is comfortable and the wait staff is friendly.

Pleora USB 3.0 Video Interface for Advanced Imaging Applications Showcased at Vision 2016
Designed into imaging systems and cameras, Pleora USB3 Vision video interfaces reduce cost and complexity by transmitting high-bandwidth video over simplified cabling
Pleora Technologies, the world's leading supplier of high-performance video interfaces, today announced that its USB 3.0 products will be demonstrated in cameras and imaging systems at VISION 2016, taking place November 8-10, 2016 in Stuttgart, Germany.
Pleora's USB3 Vision™ interfaces, including external frame grabbers and embedded hardware, provide cost and design flexibility advantages by transporting high-bandwidth imaging and video data over a USB 3.0 cable. Data is transmitted directly to a standard USB 3.0 port, allowing designers to reduce system size, cost, and power consumption by using smaller form factor computing platforms, such as laptops, embedded computers, and single-board computers.
The company's USB3 Vision products have been designed into machine vision, medical imaging, and scientific measurement applications. The Crowley Company, a world-leader in digital and analog imaging technologies and conversion services, will be demonstrating new high-resolution machine vision cameras that integrate Pleora's USB 3.0 interface at VISION 2016. (Booth 1D88)
The MACHCAM 71MP Machine Vision Camera is a compact solution - the case measures only 83x83x63.5 mm— that produces clear images with the highest resolutions available for numerous industry applications, from packaging and inspection to law enforcement and archival scanning. The MACHCAM is available in monochrome (MACHCAM 71M) and color (MACHCAM 71C) models.
"The MACHCAM 71MP brings our three decades of expertise in resolution, image clarity and specification expertise into new machine vision imaging applications," said Christopher Crowley, president and owner of The Crowley Company. "Pleora's small footprint, high bandwidth USB 3.0 video interface hardware helped us design a compact camera that can be easily integrated into any vision application."
In addition, Pleora will showcase how designers can deploy USB3 Vision interfaces to simplify imaging system design and reduce costs at VISION 2016 (Hall 1 Stand F 31). In a live demo, the iPORT™ CL-U3 External Frame Grabber will convert Camera Link video into a USB3 Vision image stream that is transmitted with low, consistent latency over a USB 3.0 cable directly to a port on a laptop.
"With our USB3 Vision products, manufacturers designing new vision systems or upgrading existing infrastructure can easily benefit from USB 3.0's economical cabling and compatibility with a wider range of computing platforms," said John Phillips, senior product manager with Pleora.
