Are You or Your Child Struggling with Reading, Math, Writing, Spelling, Hyperactivity or School in General?
You Need to Know That Your Child With ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia and Other Challenges is Not Broken!
Read this articled to find out how a special blend of new techniques, coaching, and inner-mind strategies can help your child can get back on track to find learning fun and easy again!

Monday, October 15, 2018, Orange County, CA
Do you find your child to be bright, unique and very good or even brilliant at certain subjects, yet critically lacking in others?
Our public education system is letting many of our children down, often branding them as "learning disabled", even without a qualified diagnosis.
If your child doesn't fit into the indiscriminate mold of the system, they are considered "broken" and even recommended to take dangerous medication.
If your child is struggling with reading, math, spelling, writing, social skills or even having a hard time with behaviors at home, you need help before it's too late.
The Challenges Our Children Face
Things have changed a lot since we were children.
The weight, responsibility and pressure of a young child who has six hours a day of school, and often one hour to three hours of homework each day is immense. The system is becoming more adapted to teaching only to the "norm" and less equipped to help the individual child.
In addition, children are now overloaded with information from dozens of sources each day, and the pressures and complexities of our very large world are placed in their lap on a daily basis as media and the internet grow.
Add to this the possible challenges of a diagnosed learning disorder or a separated home, and your child is more than likely to struggle in school, in social situations, and at home.
By the time most children have faced these challenges through the sixth grade or before, their response is usually resignation.
They often believe that "school sucks", that learning is hard, or worst of all, that they're "broken," so they give up.
Your Child is NOT Broken!
Despite the fact that most learning challenges are called "disabilities," most of these children are above average intelligence, great at problem solving and incredibly creative thinkers.
People throughout history who were "learning challenged" include some of the top thinkers of the world:
- Thomas Edison
- Albert Einstein
- Emily Dickinson
- Henry Ford
- Bill Gates
- Whoopie Goldberg
- Pablo Picaso
- Michael Jordan
- Walt Disney
- Leonardo Da Vinci
- Alexander Graham Bell
Could you call any of the people on that list disabled, challenged or "broken"? Of course not! These are some of the most brilliant people in history.
Who would dare to "fix" them in order to make them like everyone else?
The fact is, what makes these folks brilliant is their different style of thinking and that can be leveraged and used to not only make learning easy, but to make it fun again, too.
How a Neuro-Linguistic Learning Specialist Can Help Your Child Succeed at School and at Home
The good news is, the major reason for the challenges most of these children face doesn't have anything to do with being either "broken" or "fixed." It comes down to a simple matter of learning styles and strategies.
The strategies that most kids use for learning are usually the same as the strategies that teachers use to teach, which is why they do well in school.
But teachers practically refuse to adjust or customize their teaching strategies to our kids — the different thinkers — so we must take the initiative if they are to survive and thrive in school.
Your child can learn to read, do math, spell, memorize and test well, not by focusing on how they're different, but by tapping into their strengths.
Once we identify your child's strengths and inner-mind learning strategies, our combination of certified Neuro-Linguistic Master Learning Specialists and certified Neuro-Strategic Tutors will help your child to thrive both at school and at home.

Edmondson & Noto Guide the "Black Widow's" Quest for Atonement
When you spend your days using combat and espionage skills to save the world as a member of the Marvel Universe's premier super hero team, the Avengers, there's a good chance you'll want to spend your off days relaxing and catching up on mundane chores. That's not how the Black Widow (AKA Natasha Romanoff) chooses to spend her free time, though. Writer Nathan Edmondson and artist Phil Noto kept Natasha busy in the debut issue of the new "Black Widow" ongoing series, in which their protagonist moonlights as a highly paid mercenary.
The money she earns from these jobs goes toward atoning for the lives she ruined and destroyed during her days as a KGB spy and assassin. Why does Natasha feel she needs to atone? Who's helping her in her quest? And what kinds of dangers will she run into in the immediate future? For those answers to those questions and more CBR News spoke with Edmondson and Noto about the All-New Marvel NOW! series, the second issue of which is on sale now.
CBR News: So Nathan and Phil, one of the things that's clear from reading the stories in the "All-New Marvel NOW! Point One" anthology and "Black Widow" #1 is that there's a lot of love going into this book. What is it about Natasha and her story that makes this book so compelling to work on?
Nathan Edmondson: I think first and foremost it's working with Phil for editors and in a publishing environment that gives us the freedom to collaborate in a real way. Add to that a mutual love for the world, the character and the excitement of exploring ever-changing settings and characters in Natasha's globe-trotting adventures.
Phil Noto: I've always enjoyed working in the spy/espionage genre and I love superhero stuff so this is a perfect mix of the two. It's mostly Natasha doing her spy thing but there's a nice little attachment to S.H.I.E.L.D., the Avengers, etc. The one big joy of it all is being able to do a very personal style of art. I was given free reign and a great timeframe to do stuff that I had always wanted to do interior-wise.
Edmondson Balances a Bloody Ledger in "Black Widow"
Your "Black Widow" series is similar to the "Hawkeye" ongoing series in that it details what Natasha does in her time away from the Avengers, and it makes the most of your individual strengths as collaborators. Let's talk about that collaboration. Nathan, what's it like writing for Phil since he handles all the artistic elements on "Black Widow?" And Phil, as an artist, which elements of Nathan's scripts do you especially enjoy?
Edmondson: There's nothing Phil can't do and do masterfully. I've enjoyed challenging him with new locations and moods with each issue, but I think the moments I treasure writing for him the most are the quiet and introspective bits where the elegance of Phil's art truly shines through.
Noto: Nathan's got an amazing touch when it comes to setting a mood for a scene. I always start by picturing something very cinematic in my head and then translating that into an interesting comic page. Nathan's scripts have so much of that cinematic look built into them; it makes it very easy to hit the ground running when I start on the art.
Phil what's it like working on "Black Widow" in the sense that you're handling both art and colors? It feels like one of the elements you're especially enjoying is the coloring process? Is that correct?
Noto: The coloring is probably the biggest part of the process. I start of with a simple line art pages without any blacks and essentially "paint" over them, digitally. I do a lot of drawing over the colors also so it's essentially just illustrating in the traditional sense rather than a standard comic book system of pencils, inks and colors.
Let's move away from the look and feel of "Black Widow" and into the head space of its title character. In issue #1 it was clear that Natasha is walking this path of redemption because she feels she needs to atone for the damage she did as a KGB operative. She says some interesting things about her past on the final page of issue #1 — that she can't forgive herself and that we'll never know who she was before. That has me wondering, with what kind of lens is Natasha viewing her past? Didn't her training with the KGB begin at a young age? Is she being fair to herself when it comes to forgiveness and her assessment of what she used to be?
Edmondson: Natasha I think has a bit of a self-torture tendency. She's hard on herself professionally — if she makes mistakes, she berates herself for the failure — and she doesn't want to forgive herself for her past. Perhaps because if she does, she'll lose her edge and fearlessness and, ironically, she might risk becoming a villain then. Even today, she's not all that nice, sweet or even honorable, and the self-flagellation keeps her from extending those tendencies too far.
In issue #1 we saw one of the ways Black Widow is atoning for her past is by taking mercenary jobs that she uses to finance her trusts and her "web." Is Natasha essentially a mercenary and a philanthropist?
Edmondson: I think philanthropist is the wrong word. It's not out of charity or selflessness that she does these things, but atonement.
The nature of her trusts and her "web" will become a little clearer in the next few issues, but her history and methods are complex…
The man tasked with managing Natasha's finances is her lawyer Isaiah. What can you tell us about him and why he was recruited? And what is it about his personality that made him accept Natasha's offer?
RELATED: Edmondson's "Punisher" Brings his War to the City of Angeles
Edmondson: I can tell you — read issue #2. Isaiah is more valuable to Natasha than she even knows, and while he's a bit shy, a bit mousy even, he's smart, wise and the perfect foil to Natasha. He is to her much like a manager to an artist and her work is an art; she needs him to keep her grounded and to work on the things she can't be bothered to. Eventually we'll learn where he came from and why he took the job.
Let's talk about the stories coming up in the next few issues. In terms of plot and themes what are they about? Where do they take Natasha? And Nathan, in our initial interview you seemed to hint that something sinister behind the scenes would connect Natasha's initial jobs. Will that be clear to the reader in these issues? Or will we get hints of what's going on further down the road?
Edmondson: Issue #2 is about the cost of risk and mistakes. It's based in Shanghai. Issue #3 is about trust, and it's deep in a South American jungle.
Can you hint, tease, or talk about the villains Natasha will run afoul of in these next few issues? Are they new characters or familiar faces?
Edmondson: Lots of new faces. Who is the Hammer of God, and why doesn't Natasha stand a chance against him? The second half of this six issue arc will address that question.
Finally, Phil what can you tell us about the look of these next few issues of "Black Widow?" How do they compare to issue #1 and the story in the latest "Point One" anthology? Are there any elements or characters you were especially excited to draw in these issues?
Noto: I'm still experimenting with different looks depending on the the story. That's part of what makes this book so enjoyable to work on. I'm trying to set up a system on the book where there may be different styles in just one issue but each style has a reason in terms of the location or action taking place. Nathan's come up with some great locales and really interesting villains. Each page is like starting a cover where I can just have fun with it.
After working on the book in secret for so long, it's been nice to see such a great response to it. I was happy with everything I was doing in my little art cave but since it's such a different comic book art style I was unsure how the fans were going to react. It was great knowing that Nathan's stories were going to be strong no matter what I did art-wise. I think it's all coming together better than I had ever hoped and I truly enjoy sitting down to work on it every day.
Edmondson: I hear we have a sellout and a second printing and rising sales, so a big thanks to our readers! And when are we going to get that first cover face on a red t-shirt, huh, folks?
"Black Widow" #1 & #2 by Edmondson are on sale now.

How are Retirement Plans Handled in an Estate Plan?
Retirement plans, including IRAs, 401Ks, 403Bs and 457As, are not controlled by common estate planning documents such as wills and revocable living trusts. They transfer to heirs by a beneficiary designation. So whomever you name as beneficiary, when you initially signed that plans document, is the person that will receive the value in the account when you pass away.
This lack of control sometimes can be problematic, especially when an individual retirement saver has designated a beneficiary and has forgotten to keep those designations up to date. The plan documents will control where the money goes and your last will and testament will have no effect because beneficiary designations avoid probate. Your retirement plans will also not be controlled by a revocable living trust because the plans are not trust property; they are individual property.Is the Title of a Retirement Plan Going to be Transferred to a Trust Upon Someone's Death?
No, what happens is that beneficiary is contacted by the custodian. For example, you have an IRA in a brokerage account. You pass away, and hopefully, you have designated beneficiary's, for example your spouse as the primary beneficiary. The broker or your financial advisor calls up your spouse and says, "You are the designated beneficiary of this retirement account there is $100,000 in it and you have a few options for distribution. What would you like to do? Would you like to pay the income tax obligation now, cash it out and do whatever you wish with the money, or do you wish to inherit this IRA and stretch out the tax obligation over your lifetime keep it as your own retirement fund?" Now there are different rules as to whether spouses inherit or children inherit, but that's effectively what happens when a custodian handles the transfer to the designated beneficiary.What Taxes are a Retirement Plan Subject to Upon Someone's Death?
Retirement plans are subject to income tax. The purpose of retirement plans is to accumulate money on a tax-deferred basis, save now and pay tax later when you start to take distributions. When a person inherits, there are three choices that they really have. One of them is to liquidate the account and pay the income tax in the year of distribution. The amount of income tax is going to depend on the individual's tax rate for the year. When including the individuals earned income from employment and the amount of the inherited retirement account a beneficiary could land on the tax tables leading to a substantial amount of income tax due, as much as 40%, significantly depleting the value of the inherited funds and reducing future growth. A beneficiary can also choose to take distributions out over five years but the account must be liquidated by the end of that period. Often that will put you in a lower tax bracket meaning a lower of a tax hit but still resulting in a removal of the funds from tax deferred investments. The third option, is called the Life Expectancy method or what is called a "stretch IRA." You can inherit an IRA and then stretch out that tax obligation over your lifetime. This is by far the preferred option. The account will continue to enjoy tax deferred growth and will ultimately result is far more money going to your beneficiary's.
It is critical that we have an identifiable person with a pulse and a birthday so we can take advantage of that tax deferral over another lifetime. This is up to the beneficiary to make this choice. Unfortunately, the vast majority just decide to cash it out. They either do not want to deal with the IRA, or they don't understand the power of continued tax deferral, so they cash it out. The best choice by far is the stretch IRA. Many books have been written about how you can build a legacy of retirement for multiple generations by rolling over IRAs.
For example, a 35-year-old child inherits a $200,000 IRA and decides to keep it as their own. They're going to inherit it and then stretch that obligation out. So the entire $200,000 is going to roll into an IRA account for them, an inherited IRA, but the child has to take a required minimum distribution (RMD) right away. An RMD is based on the IRS actuarial tables, which figure (about) an 85 year lifespan. So in the case of a 35-year-old child, the IRS estimates a remaining 50 years and will ask for RMDs based on that. In very broad generalizations, about 1/50th of the IRA has to come out that first year, on which taxes are paid, but the rest continues to roll, tax-deferred, as long as it stays in that account. This is hugely powerful when it comes to growth and potential money down the road when you really need it in retirement, versus using it now to add onto the house, buy a car and take a trip to Disneyland. It just makes much more sense to take advantage of the stretch.

The movie is Drew Barrymore's directorial debut (she also plays fellow Hurl Scout Smashley Simpson), and it's clear she's more attuned to grrrlishness than real athletic power.
Clicks on so many levels -- heartwarming family story, rough-and-tumble display of grrrl power and a secondary but tender and convincing romance.
An unreasonably entertaining movie, causing you perhaps to revise your notions about women's Roller Derby, assuming you have any.

Pause for kids 13 & under
Roller derby dramedy mixes girl power and teen angst.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this coming-of-age sports dramedy -- which stars Juno's Ellen Page and was directed by perennial teen fave Drew Barrymore -- offers empowering messages for girls, especially those with unconventional interests/hobbies. Although the main character lies to her parents and hurts her friends, she faces the consequences of her behavior and learns from her experiences. Expect plenty of aggressive skating and confrontations during the movie's fast-paced roller derby scenes, as well as some strong language, underage drinking, and sexual references (including a scene in which a teen couple kisses and gets mostly undressed underwater).
Messages: The movie celebrates unconventional girls who may not be interested in traditionally female hobbies and are longing to find other ways to express themselves. Some of the "toughness" is heavy-handed posturing, but a lot of it is played for laughs. Even the "villain" isn't necessarily a bad person -- she's just a tough girl looking to win. As typical of this genre, parents and their kids start off completely not understanding each other but find common ground through communication and acceptance. A mentor reminds the main character to appreciate her family. On the downside, there's some stereotypical treatment of small-town life.
Role models: Bliss lies to her parents and hurts her best friend, but she ultimately faces the consequences of her decisions with grace. She's also fundamentally a kind-hearted person looking to cement her own identity in a world where girls' images are largely defined by beauty. Her parents at first come off as being close-minded, but they have a deep well of compassion toward their daughter and eventually embrace her uniqueness.
Violence: Roller derby is very aggressive, and the film showcases plenty of bruising, bone-crunching action. Characters are elbowed, kicked, and pushed around, and they sometimes end up bloodied. There's also some outright fighting, and trash talk is a common occurrence on the track.
Sex: Teens kiss and make out, and one couple goes all the way -- no sensitive body parts are shown, but you see them stripping to their skivvies underwater in a swimming pool and later holding each other out of the water (bare shoulders showing). The girl later discusses the experience euphemistcally with her mother. References to penis size.
Language: Fairly frequent use of language like "jackass," "hell," "s--t," "bitch," "screw," ass," "balls," and "goddammit." There's also one use of "f--k," and a character gives someone the finger.
Consumerism: Brands/logos seen on screen include Google, Coleman, Zenith, and Barbie -- though all play fairly minor roles.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Some underage drinking. A teen girl gets drunk at a party and makes out with a random guy before throwing up; later, a teen is arrested after being caught with a drink in public. One character (not a teen) does a kegstand. A mother hides her smoking from her daughter. A father drinks beer while watching sports and lets his teen daughter take a (big) sip. A mother mistakes a marijuana bong for a vase.

The Native Americans have been consuming the edible broadleaf arrowhead tubers for centuries. The tubers are both dietary food and medicine for treating mild illnesses, yet, the other communities are not as well aware of it. It is also known as Indian potato, duck-potato, or wapato.
Origins of Broadleaf Arrowhead
Arrowhead plant (Sagittaria latifolia) is an aquatic plant commonly found in ponds, river bands, swamps and lakes. The hardy plant traces its origin to southern Canada but it has since spread far and wide all over the world. With its robust roots that allow the plant to dwell on different water levels, the plant can colonize a wide area rapidly. In certain countries, arrowhead plant is considered as an invasive weed.
Growth Characteristic
Their ability to spread rapidly on different growth zones made the plant an ideal choice as an alternate food source to feed increasing world population. Twice a year harvest in Fall and Spring can be expected.
The tubers can be easily separated from the root with a pitch fork, feet, or stick. When detached, the tubers usually float to the surface and that makes collection very easy.
The whole plant is edible but the tubers are preferred. The tubers are usually cooked for a short duration prior to consumption. It tastes bitter if eaten raw. It can be prepared in a similar way as ground potatoes whether deep fried, stir fried, roasted, steamed or boiled. Arrowhead chips have a creamy nutty taste of it that is very much preferred in Asia. The tuber can also be grounded into flour. The flour has many uses in culinary preparation, such as thickener in source and as a binder in meat patty.
Nutritious Values
In terms of nutritious values, boiled arrowhead tubers yield about half the amount of calories as potatoes but nearly double the amount of protein. It contains a fair amount of vitamin B6 and is rich in phosphorus, potassium, manganese and magnesium.
Ecology stabilizer
The arrowhead plant can be helpful in preventing soil erosion along river bands and given sea level is expected to rise globally in coming decades, the plant together with other robust aquatic plants can serve as an important ecological stabilizer

Roses are usually thought of whenever it comes to setting the mood for a romantic candlelight dinner alright. But sometimes, it would be exciting if we could come up with something else, such as this Vineyard Valley Candle Set, perhaps? I think it isn't a bad idea.
The set comes with one wine candle, one grapes candle and two cheese candles, each with a Merlot scent. Isn't it fantastic? To top it off, the wine candle can burn for up to 10 hours, and the cheese and grapes for up to 2-3 hours. So you've got plenty of time for dinner, eh?

Book description
Pa`nop´ti`con ( noun). A circular prison with cells so constructed that the prisoners can be observed at all times. [Greek panoptos seen by all] Anais Hendricks, fifteen, is in the back of a police car, headed for the Panopticon, a home for chronic young offenders. She cant remember the events that led her here, but across town a policewoman lies in a coma and there is blood on Anaiss school uniform. Smart, funny and fierce, Anais is a counter-culture outlaw, a bohemian philosopher in sailor shorts and a pillbox hat. She is also a child who has been let down, or worse, by just about every adult she has ever met. The residents of the Panopticon form intense bonds, heightened by their place on the periphery, and Anais finds herself part of an ad hoc family there. Much more suspicious are the social workers, especially Helen, who is about to leave her job for an elephant sanctuary in India but is determined to force Anais to confront the circumstances of her birth before she goes. Looking up at the watchtower that looms over the residents, Anais knows her fate: she is part of an experiment, she always was, its a given, a liberty - a fact. And the experiment is closing in. In language dazzling, energetic and pure, The Panopticon introduces us to a heartbreaking young heroine and an incredibly assured and outstanding new voice in fiction.The Panopticon by Jenni Fagan phone free kindle information audio

The Nigerian Minister for Petroleum Resources, Emmanuel Kachikwu, has been quoted this week as saying the long-stalled Petroleum Industry Bill ("PIB") should now be passed "quickly" after the "very contentious" fiscal element was split from the non-fiscal parts.
The PIB, which has had to be resuscitated several times since it was first tabled in 2008, aims to unify Nigeria's disparate petroleum laws. It has been stuck in Nigeria's legislature for 8 years, held up by a mixture of disputes about revenue sharing, royalty regimes and the role of the state oil company, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation ("NNPC"). We considered its progress previously here.
The comments come on the same day Kachikwu confirmed preparations were underway to sell part of NNPC's business to the public. The partial IPO, which is forecast for 2018, is seen as a concluding step in a wider set of reforms to NNPC, which includes a plan to break the company into four separate entities. While this partial privatisation has been welcomed in some parts as a means of raising much-needed finance, it has also come in for criticism by labour unions who foresee corresponding job cuts.
Kachikwu, who served as OPEC President until December 2015 and is fresh into the Nigerian ministerial post, has also called for an emergency OPEC meeting to address the continued fall in oil prices. Nigeria is Africa's biggest oil producer with petroleum exports accounting for 90% of its revenue. A lack of functioning refineries, however, means that it has to export most of its crude oil to fund its import of petroleum products.
The importance of fostering transparency in an industry desperately trying to keep a lid on costs is clear. President Muhammadu Buhari fired the 10-member board of NNPC in June last year in an anti-corruption drive. The question now will be whether the continued fall in oil prices is enough see the PIB adopted into law.

Scroll down for an update to this story:
According to Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner, the toy company is now in talks with Paramount to develop Transformers 4, with the hopes that an announcement can be shared in the next quarter.
The Hollywood Reporter claims that Hasbro is also talking to director Michael Bay and executive producer Steven Spielberg about returning for the sequel. From the sound of it, both men are still actively involved in getting the project up and running with Paramount.
Hasbro is also working to develop its other properties as well. Reportedly, projects like Stretch Armstrong and Candyland are still a go, with Battleship scheduled for release next year.
Regarding the recently dropped adaptation of Ouija, Hasbro remains hopeful after the project's recent budget restructuring. With the script already penned and polished, the film could be signed with a new studio very soon.
As for Hasbro's other misfit toys like Clue and Monopoly, which were dropped by Universal around the same time as Ouija, there's still no word. When asked if the company would ever consider going out on their own to develop their projects, Goldner replied, "No, we would not employ... a Marvel strategy."
Update: Variety is now reporting that not only is another film being planned, but the studio is considering shooting a fourth and fifth installment back-to-back.
"Nothing is set in stone, but screenwriter Ehren Kruger is said to have an idea for the next installments that the studio is high on, and has only begun engaging with writers," says the trade.
Shia LaBeouf will not be back, but those rumors about Jason Statham taking over the franchise? The action star is being considered. And according to Variety, Bay very well might be directing these films as well (and not just exec-producing), despite all his past talk about being done after three.

There are right ways and wrong ways to spout off about government officials. You can say:
I hope there is a special place in hell reserved for that horrible woman.
Or you can say:
Metaphorically speaking, I hope there is a special place in hell reserved for that horrible public official on whom I am entitled to comment, purely as hyperbole, on a matter of public concern under my First Amendment rights to free speech and to petition the Government for redress of grievances. Cf: The Screwtape Letters, an allegorical series of essays in which C. S. Lewis used Hell as a literary device for comment upon matters of spiritual and political concern.

This is a perfect creampie shoot because it has enough frames to capture the full sequence of the cum gushing out of her cunt and running down her ass. All cream pie sequences should be this exciting!
And frame 40 is the best creampie pic on the entire site. The photographer did everything right. It's shot with good lighting and composed with her smiling face, wide-open cunt, and spread legs -- all in focus. The only improvement would be to show her sitting on the guy's lap to give some credit to him.

Jeannie Lou's Big Black Cock Creampie

"I love big black cock gang bangs," 61-year-old divorcee Jeannie Lou told us even before she walked into our studio. Well, we couldn't provide the gang, but we did supply the big, black cock, much to Jeannie's pleasure. "I don't know why I love big, black cocks," Jeannie Lou said. "I just do." Jeannie Lou likes a lot of things, like bondage and spanking and fucking in public places. "The more the merrier!" she said "I love long, three or four hour sessions of vaginal and anal sex with as many men as I can handle. Or as many men who can handle me! I go to private parties, and I do a lot of threesomes at home. I'll invite a few guys to my place, and we'll have fun all night!" Having sex in our studio with a total stranger is almost vanilla for Jeannie Lou who once had sex in the back of a truck while mechanics were working on it. "It was the middle of the afternoon, and we were a rockin' and a rollin', and they were working on the engine and we were having fun," she said. "It was my Mexican friend. He said to me, 'I can't do that,' and I said, 'Oh yes you can, baby!' and we went at it.

Hip-Hop is full of famous trios from Run DMC to TLC. But do you remember the original fly girls from California, JJ Fad? Maybe you recall them from their infectious first single "Supersonic," or for those younger radio listeners, Fergie's 2006 hit "Fergalicious," which sampled the group's hook. An old-school mix must, JJ Fad was one of the first all-female hip-hop groups to hit the mainstream. Just as Salt-N-Pepa did, JJ Fad opened the door for women to express themselves on all topics, whether it be in music or any other arena. For my very first column with M.I.S.S., I'm going to take you back to doorknockers and Aquanet locks with the group that first peaked my interest in female MCs.
As sung in the "Supersonic" intro, the group's name is short for "Just Jammin' – Fresh and Def." But according to some info in circulation around the internet, they started off with 5 ladies in the group, and their name was an acronym for all of the original members: Juanita, Juana, Fatima, Lady Anna, and Dania. Little is known about what happened to make it a company of three. Nonetheless, JJ Fad was signed to Eric "Eazy E" Wright's newly formed Ruthless Records in 1987. Comprised of MC JB (Juana Burns), Baby-D (Dania Birks), and Sassy C (Michelle Franklin), the group proved they could most certainly play with the big boys. They produced their first album with Dr. Dre, DJ Yella, and Arabian Prince just before N.W.A. propelled into notoriety with Straight Outta Compton. Opting for more pop-sounding records than their label mates, JJ Fad released their first album, Supersonic, selling 400,000 copies almost immediately. Their single "Supersonic" is what they are best known for, eventually earning them a platinum record and Grammy Nomination, the first for any female rap group.
JJ Fad's hit "Supersonic"
Though they may be seen as cute and bubbly, make no mistake: JJ Fad had a tough side. As many West Coast MCs did in the late 80s, they became involved in what's known in hip-hop circles as the Roxane Wars. They produced the 1987 Roxane Shante-targeted dis track "Another Ho" (sometimes named "Another Tramp"), which was actually the first song they ever released. Hip-hop fans know that the music is never short of friendly competition, and JJ Fad was no exception. After the dust settled with the Roxane Wars, they were featured in the West Coast All Stars anti-violence record We're All in the Same Gang in 1990.
Mainly using techno samples and sing-a-long melodies, their repertoire contains other party singles such as "We In the House," "Way Out," and "Blame It On the Muzick." JJ Fad had the attitude and personality to match any MC of the time, but they had a softer side as well. Their album Not Just a Fad had the ballad "Is It Love," a sort of love letter to a boyfriend à la LL Cool J's "I Need Love." Often confused with Le Tigre and Salt-N-Pepa, JJ Fad had a hard time matching the success of Supersonic with 1991's Not Just A Fad, separating shortly after the release.
Propelling back into musical consciousness with the aforementioned Fergalicious, JJ Fad received an ASCAP award for co-writing the single and began touring briefly in 2009. Search their name on Twitter, and you'll see countless fans reminiscing about the times they bumped JJ Fad. They will forever be celebrated for their undeniably catchy rhymes. When it comes to 80s dance-mix staples, they'll always be remembered as the "home chicks that are rockin' your world."
Enjoy these videos from the group:

Q. Have you had the chance to borrow your library's copy of the movie: Cave of Forgotten Dreams? I would love to know your impression of what those early artists were trying to tell us.
A. I did recently watch this on Netflix and I remember seeing a question regarding this in my queue. I was in complete awe at the pure raw art. It did ring as being pure and genuine, and I have goosebumps typing this. It depicted a story (in my minds eye) of their surroundings, their way of life. I see these paintings as a teaching tools too- I am watching the elders in the tribe teaching their young about hunting and animals as if the paintings are a chalkboard. It is like they teach their young lessons before even trying it in real life. I see them talking about hunting tactics, dangers, how to chose wisely which animal to pursue (as if you have one real chance so make it count).
There was also this tremendous respect for the earth and all things on it. I see them explaining the circle of life and how all things return back to the earth (not in a reincarnated way, but a physical way such as plants grow, animals/people eat the plants, people eat the animals, and then when we (people) pass away we are returned physically to the earth.) It was viewed as sharing back to the earth when you passed and very respectable. I hear something about when you pass and go back to the earth you are giving of yourself what you have consumed, and it creates a full circle.
During the film, I did get vivid images of a flood. I kept asking myself where did these people go? Did they migrate? Did they die? and How? I just saw massive flooding and flooded the cave. It looked very sudden and extreme. It looked like a huge burst of water rushed through the cave, and then remained there for some time before completely clearing. I see that most everyone passed, and those that didn't right away (I see people that were hunting viewing this flush occur) eventually died. I get a strong feeling that their presence is still there on the land,- it is there in a positive, protective way. I see an image of someone laying on their back (in current day) and breathing deeply as if in a meditative state- they are soaking in and feeling this tremendous energy because that area is very much alive in their spirits. There were many souls that have reincarnated and moved on, but many also stayed to protect the land...
This was an amazing movie! Thank you to my reader for suggesting it.

I can't say with certainty that it was the "Great Flood" but it was a very significant life changing flood that altered the lay of the land..

Iain Duncan Smith anger at BBC reflects 'failure to tell Government's story'
Complaints by work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith that the BBC is biased reflect a government struggling to convince the public, commentators have suggested.
He told The Mail on Sunday that the BBC 'is locked to the reading of the economy that is run out of Ed Miliband and Ed Balls' office'.
However, founder of Bingle Consulting and ex Bell Pottinger Public Affairs chairman Peter Bingle said the complaints were a sign of wider frustration 'at the Government's failure to tell its side of the story'.
He said: 'Governments in trouble always blame the media. It is a sad fact that this particular government's media machine is poor. There are two reasons. The first is that there is no real narrative. There is no compelling story to tell. The second is that the Number 10 press team is particularly weak. They are all too young and there are no grey hairs.'
Last quarter, the jobless total fell by 46,000 to 2.56 million. Duncan Smith said that when the news was good the BBC's attitude was 'get the Government out of the picture quickly, don't allow them to say anything about it'.
He singled out economics editor Stephanie Flanders for particular criticism, saying she 'had poured cold water' over the figures when they didn't show a growth in unemployment.
However, Four Communication's director for public affairs Jim Dickson said that the Government 'feels the media are locked into a narrative that the economic plan a isn't working and plan B is needed'.
However, he chimed in agreement with Bingle that the outburst was a reflection of internal frustration, pointing to the fact that the previous Labour government had made similar complaints.
Dickson added: 'It will appear to the public that the Government doesn't have a clear sense of purpose and direction. It is complaining about peripheral issues rather than pursuing a programme it believes in and is able to communicate.'

On April 29, SCO will finally have its day in court, but not exactly in the way the Unix and Linux litigation company had planned. If things had gone the way SCO wanted, it would be facing IBM to see how much money it would get for IBM using Unix code in Linux. Instead of that fantasy coming true, SCO will be trying to hang on to what's left of its assets from Novell.

I think we have to thank IBM for going trough this. If they had simply bought SCO, this "business model" would have had some success and the "moneymakers" would try it everywhere. I hope this example goes deep into the mind of all those clever guys, who want to make money out of nothing. But I'm sure, one day another moneymaker will have some strange "clever" idea....

Legislation that would decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana hit friction in a key committee Thursday afternoon.
The proposal to give only a fine - and not jail time - to people caught with less than 10 grams of pot passed the Senate earlier this month with bi-partisan support.
On Thursday, lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee intensely questioned whether the measure went too far.
Del. Luiz Simmons pointed out the committee supported the limited medical marijuana plan, currently advancing in the Senate, that involves academic research. Simmons said the measure to abandon jail time essentially legalizes small amounts of pot, rendering the medical marijuana program unnecessary.
"If we're effectively decriminalizing it, why would we want to study it?" asked Simmons, a Montgomery County Democrat.
Other lawmakers questioned whether to instead refer the issue to a task force, a move that often spells defeat for legislation in Annapolis.
Several lawmakers pointed out the state just relaxed penalties for marijuana possession last year.
Delegates also questioned if pot possession should still be a crime for minors, whether the law would hamper police's ability to enforce other drug laws and whether decriminalization would increase drug use.
"Believe it or not, there are people out there who have values, and they won't do something because it is a crime," said Del. Michael McDermott, a Worcester County Republican. If smoking marijuana were no longer a crime, McDermott argued, more people would smoke it.
"I want people not to use dope," McDermott said.
Dan Riffle with the Marijuana Policy Project and the bill's sponsor, Sen. Robert Zirkin, presented the panel with data from other states that showed decriminalization elsewhere did not cause an uptick in marijuana smoking.
"There are smarter ways to reduce marijuana use, and that is what we all want to do," Riffle said.
"I'm not looking to increase marijuana use," added Zirkin, a Baltimore County Democrat. He said the point was to relieve the justice system from drug prosecutions that aren't effective and aren't fairly applied.
"I don't believe, philosophically, that an individual with a joint should go to jail," Zirkin said.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) - Reserve running back John Howell
rushed for touchdowns of 57 and 50 yards, Kriss Proctor threw two
long touchdown passes and Navy sent Western Kentucky to its 16th
straight home loss with a 40-14 victory Saturday night.
Howell ripped off a 50-yard touchdown run on the game's fifth
play during a quick, violent downpour that hit with the kickoff.
Then, with the Hilltoppers (0-2) focused on the run, Proctor
floated scoring passes of 44 yards to Matt Aiken and 27 yards to
Brandon Turner over a hard-biting defense to give the Midshipmen
(2-0) a 20-0 lead early in the second quarter.
WKU's Bobby Rainey became the sixth Hilltoppers running back to
reach 3,000 yards rushing in his career while leading a brief
first-half rally, scoring from 13 yards on the next drive.

Scottish Water has now confirmed that an 'in spate' Penicuik burn is not the result of excessive rainfall.
Last month the Advertiser reported that the Dean Burn has been fast flowing since January with the cause likely to be groundwater.
Midlothian Council disputed this and carried out its own investigation.
A Scottish Water spokesman said: "We understand that the additional flow of clean water going into the burn is the result of safety work we are carrying out at Glencorse reservoir."
