Spotlight on a Newborn Specialist
Hi! My name is Angie, and I have been blessed with the wonderful opportunity to care for newborn babies through my affiliation with TLC for Kids. I was a part of their team from 1997 to 2005, and then returned in December 2010.Over the years, I have cared for, nurtured and loved children of all ages, but my greatest joy comes from being able to assist moms and dads when their new little bundle of love finally arrives. And, as we all know, life as they knew it will never be the same again!I had worked in the corporate world for 25 years, but my heart always longed to care for children. I finally left my corporate job in 1997, trusting that I could do what I loved and that my financial needs would be met. I have never looked back, and I have been blessed with so much more than I could have imagined.My experience includes being a Mom, having 2 granddaughters and 7 step-grandchildren! I have "worked" as a full and part-time nanny for premature babies born with special needs, including twins, and those precious little ones who chose to stay put until they were due to arrive!I have also volunteered in a residential facility for babies born addicted to alcohol and drugs, some of whom were also HIV positive. Other wonderful experiences include being a "Big Sister" in the Big Brother/Big Sister program, a licensed foster parent, and a respite care provider. I am currently employed full-time as a paraprofessional by the Special School District of St. Louis County. My duties include assisting children with special needs in a regular elementary school environment, which is extremely challenging and rewarding!Most importantly as a TLC temporary nanny – I love and respect each little life I come in contact with. What an incredible privilege it is to help meet the needs of helpless, totally dependent blessings from above!My advice to new and "experienced" parents – Don't ever be afraid to ask for help. Having a new life to care for can be extremely overwhelming, especially with all of the hormonal changes a new Mom is experiencing and Dads wondering what on earth they can do to help! Getting a good night's sleep (which can be rare for parents of a newborn) can make a huge difference in having quality bonding time with your precious baby, while getting through all the busyness of the day. TLC for Kids is always there with wonderful, experienced caregivers just waiting to help you!
TLC's Postpartum Doulas Assist New Moms with Newborn Care and More
TLC for Kids has been providing Saint Louis' newest moms with Doula help since 1995. Doula is a Greek term which means "women helping women" or "women servant." I love the word and its meaning. From my experience no woman can go through childbirth, recovery, and welcome a new baby without support from someone who is experienced and knowledgeable. We all need help from time to time.
TLC's Doulas are loving, experienced and trained. Our Doulas are ready to guide moms(and dads) through the joys of caring for a new baby. Some Doulas provide overnight care so mom and dad can rest. Newborn babies can be exhausting and overwhelming even for the most seasoned of parents 🙂
A TLC Doula will help with feeding, bathing, swaddling, circumcision care, changing, umbilical cord care and so much more. A Doula can also help around the house. She can provide sibling care, meal preparation, transportation, and baby room or house organization.
Here is one mom's story about her Doula,
My mother and father came to help me when my daughter was born. As much as I appreciated their help they added to my overall responsibilities. Now there were 2 more people to feed, entertain, and more laundry to do! When Donna, my amazing Doula arrived, she just instinctively knew what to do and added no stress to my life. She organized the babies room, did the laundry, prepared meals for us, rocked and sang to the baby when I needed rest, and brought her to me for breast feeding. I was able to nap, run errands, and recover from my c-section. My husband and I truly loved the experience of caring for our newborn."
If you would like to learn more about postpartum Doulas visit the DONA website.

Newborn Overnight Care
All parents strive for a good night's sleep. That is hard to do with a newborn baby in the house. Most newborns will wake every 3 hours or so to eat. After feeding, burping, diaper changes, swaddling and getting baby back to sleep parents have about an hour or two until they need to do it all again.
TLC for Kids can help. TLC's Newborn Overnight Caregivers come into your home and take care of your baby for the night. Our caregivers have been screened by our professional staff and have years of experience caring for newborns. They even specialize in multiples!
Newborn overnights caregivers typically work 4 to 7 nights a week for the first few months. They will help get your baby on a night time schedule and stay with you until your baby is sleeping through the night.
Let our overnight caregivers help you be your best for your busy day!

Household Employer Notes for 2013
The new year is here. What does that mean for you and your nanny?
Here are the three most important things nanny employers need to know for 2013:
- The Payroll Tax Holiday Has Expired. The social security tax has reverted to its traditional 6.2% (it was temporarily reduced to 4.2% in 2011 and 2012 in an attempt to stimulate consumer spending). The change will decrease take-home pay for all U.S. workers. Your full-time nannies will see a change of about $10-$15 per week, depending on their income level.
- The FICA Reporting Threshold Did Not Change. The $1,800 threshold has been extended through 2013. Families who pay a worker less than that amount are absolved of the FICA reporting responsibilities under the "casual babysitting exemption."
- The Federal Mileage Reimbursement Rate Has Increased. The rate for mileage reimbursement increased by one penny per mile. It's now 56.5 cents for each mile an employee drives on the job.
Happy New Year!
January is here. All the hustle and bustle of celebrating the holidays is over. What now?
Tradition has it that you make a resolution for the year. Something you want to change or improve for this year. Maybe you want make a positive impact in your life or the life of someone you love. We've gathered some nice resolutions (I prefer to call them goals) for you.
1. Are you thinking about "Going Green" this year and reducing your carbon footprint? Here is a website with 10 helpful environmentally friendly resolutions.
2. Do you want to do a better job of capturing your kids great moments? Why not try a memory jar? Write down some of the funny things your kids say and place them in a jar. On a bad day you can pull out a funny quote for a quick smile. Here is one mom's blog about her Memory Jar.
3. Want to be a more organized nanny? We shared this tip a few months ago from a professional nanny. I love the idea of creating your own 'Nanny Binder.'

The Best and Worst DVD Commentary Tracks
For any film buff, one of the highlights of buying a DVD is the commentary track. At its best, it is a well of on-set gossip, film school tips, and old-fashioned storytelling. It could be argued that good commentaries turn you into a better or smarter movie fan.
Alas, it's not all wine and roses. The bad commentaries (and they are legion) make you feel like you're stuck in an elevator with a variety of unpleasant people — the boring, the annoying, the clueless, or the pretentious. It's a Russian Roulette of awfulness. Regardless of selection, you're going to suffer unless you turn off the DVD player.
Five intrepid Filmcritic.com staffers offer five recommendations for our favorite commentary tracks, as well as five 'un-recommendations' to be avoided at all costs. Do you have any suggestions or warnings? Let us know.
High Five:
Big Trouble in Little China: Kurt Russell and John Carpenter lay it on the line — 'People either love [the film] or they never saw it,' Russell says. 'They love it or they never saw it and they wouldn't get it if they did,' Carpenter jokes. If you do get it, you may also know that the director/star team made some of the best American films in the '80s, including The Thing and Escape from New York. Among the laughter between the old friends over Russell's hair or Carpenter's somersault attack move, the two do a great job setting up the film's context — it's a comedy, folks. They share their troubles with the studio (which didn't get why Russell's character is a bumbling buffoon) and the grief they got from the Asian community, who claimed that Carpenter was perpetuating stereotypes, never mind that the sidekick, Dennis Dun, was actually the leading man. Russell and Carpenter's candor makes you feel like you're sitting around listening to old war stories — focusing more on humor and background than technical mumbo jumbo — making for one of the best DVD commentaries this side of Chinatown. Jason Morgan
Citizen Kane: Before you roll your eyes at what sounds like an easy choice, pop in Kane and skip to Roger Ebert's feature-length commentary track. The renowned film critic has become a self-taught master of all things Kane, and his wit and wisdom come through on this incredibly informative audio track. Can't get enough? Famed director Peter Bogdanovich (The Last Picture Show), an Orson Welles biographer, contributes a second track on the same disc that covers completely different ground. You'll even learn the significance of 'Rosebud.' Spoiler alert! Sean O'Connell
Fight Club: David Fincher's Club paints a bare-knuckle portrait of the male id. It has been discussed ad nauseam by pseudo-Durden disciples who are missing the film's superior punch line: that by worshipping Tyler, they are in fact empowering all their 'hero' would hate. But the last word belongs to Fincher and his visceral cast. Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, and combustible plaything Helena Bonham Carter join their director for a revealing combo commentary track on the two-disc Fight Club DVD that analyzes the process of making this cinematic gut punch and avoids the film's reactionary feedback. Sean O'Connell
Jerry Maguire: Writer/director Cameron Crowe coined the catchphrase 'Show me the money' with this salvation-of-a-sports-agent dramedy, so it's only appropriate that Crowe and company have invented 'Show me the commentary!' On the two-disc special edition DVD, we watch Tom Cruise, Renee Zellweger, and Cuba Gooding Jr. watching Jerry. I prefer seeing their reactions — to the film, to each other — than just listening to random comments on a faceless audio track. Cameron, your video commentary completes me. Sean O'Connell
Zero Effect: You may have forgotten about Jake Kasdan's debut feature, Zero Effect, but if you happen to rent it, check out the commentary. He obviously loves the movie, but the real draw is that the commentary offers perhaps the greatest Easter egg in the history of DVDs. Up front Kasdan says that he doesn't believe anyone listens to commentary tracks, so if you can prove you listened to the entirety of his (the proof involves stringing together a sentence from words he drops throughout the course of the movie), he'll not only donate five bucks to your favorite charity, he'll also give you a hug. Christopher Null
Low Five:
Cliffhanger: Sylvester Stallone's rock-climbing adventure is a guilty pleasure best seen with edited-for-TV dialogue on late night cable while passing out in a drunken haze. If that's not your style, consider drinking copious amounts of alcohol to make it through the DVD commentary from Stallone and director Renny Harlin. Recorded separately, Harlin's commentary clearly shows that he thinks his work is phenomenal (it's not). He's a bore and Stallone seems reserved in his comments. That is, until the end when he talks about 'psychic crossroads' and career choices he's made in the past. The worthwhile minute of apologetic Stallone is too little too late — showing up during the end credits after you've wasted two hours listening to Harlin. Had the track opened with Stallone's woeful reflection, the commentary might have had a chance. Instead, it's as mundane as the film itself. Jason Morgan
The Bellboy: This 'visual diary of a few weeks in the life of a real nut,' was Jerry Lewis' first film as director-writer-star and the first in a series of five classic Lewis-directed films from Paramount in the early '60s. Unfortunately, the classic status doesn't carry over into its commentary track for the DVD, where Lewis shares commentary duties with, for some inexplicable reason, unctuous Las Vegas lounge crooner Steve Lawrence. I suppose every one at some point in their lives needs to have an ass-kissing stooge around and Lawrence more than fills the role. A premier toady, Lawrence laughs and agrees with everything Lewis says and relentlessly comments on Lewis' genius. But Lewis, supreme egoist that he is, still tops Lawrence to be a master toady to himself in a self-stroking ode to a patch of musical score, stating 'I love the music here where it makes for friendship.' Paul Brenner
Charlie Bartlett: Not a great movie — in fact, it's unlikable and condescending — but it could have been partially redeemed if stars Anton Yelchin (born 1989) and Kat Dennings (born 1986) had shared how this 2008 high school comedy tied into their recent/current teenage experiences. No such luck, even with director Jon Poll involved. The two stars giggle like stoners and gush over their co-stars (if you take a shot every time Dennings raves about Hope Davis, you'll die) and provide nutty 'oh, please, God no' voiceovers. It's a tortuous experience, keeping in line with the movie's overall quality. Pete Croatto
Masters of the Universe: Poor Gary Goddard. Fifteen minutes into his director's commentary, it's apparent that he has got himself into believing that the movie, based on a cartoon that was based on a toy line, is a phenomenal cinematic work while the rest of us might find some en
tertainment steeped in its childhood matinee nostalgia. Although it's somewhat entertaining hearing him glow about his 'perfect' cast as they appear, it's hard to imagine anyone getting that excited about this Dolph Lundgren-starring adventure. His blind, biased enthusiasm quickly becomes sad and hard to stomach. Though he does supply some insight, such as the forgotten Mattel contest to win a role in Masters of the Universe, the rest of the time is spent talking about the sub-par matte paintings and He-Man flying around on a hover board as if they were amazing film effects feats. Jason Morgan
When Harry Met Sally : In the beginning of his commentary to one of the 1980s' best movies, director Rob Reiner says the film was a collaborative effort between him, producer Andrew Scheinman, writer Nora Ephron, and (occasionally) star Billy Crystal. About fifteen minutes in, you'll wish that any one of them was helping old Meathead to speak. Reiner says the movie was borne out of his dating experiences, but offers barely an anecdote or remembrance. He says that watching the movie brings back certain memories, but offers none worth sharing (hey, my dad showed up that day!). In fact, scenes go on for minutes, without Reiner saying a word, which is for the best since he has nothing relevant to say anyway. Pete CroattoRead More

BMW started mass production of the third generation 1-Series hatch, which debuted in late May.
A new product was launched on the assembly line of the plant in Leipzig, Germany because it was here that the production of cars of previous generations of the first series was carried out.
The basis of the novelty is the modular platform FAAR, where the slider located transversely and the drive to the front axle replaces the longitudinal pattern with the rear wheels. This database is used today in the BMW X1, X2, plus the MINI Countryman.
Soon, BMW will produce 600 cars every day. The very first car - hatch modification 118i, which has a gasoline unit, a body in blue and a sports body kit.
The top car performance on the first days of sales is M135i xDrive. It has a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder supercharged engine with a power of 306 "horses" and 450 Nm. In the history of this is the most active commodity "quartet" BMW. The unit works with an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive system.

Tips on advertising
- With local advertising it is best to plan for the long haul. The number one rule is to stick with it for a while. Don't always expect sales to come pouring in after your first ad. Think about branding and generating demand over time. Of course this is not the same for every type of ad. For example, if you are promoting a one time event a more aggressive short term ad would be ideal.
- Your ad does not always have to be directed at sales. In face, the purpose of many large trade magazine ads is image building/branding, creating awareness of a company's existence, products and services in the minds of potential customers.
- Your ad must communicate branding and your key message in 3-5 seconds. The design is key to get your readers eyes to the highlighted points and convince them to stay there for the next 10 seconds. After 15 seconds your reader has moved on.
- When exploring your budget and comparing other advertising opportunities keep in mind that the cost per thousand readers reached may be higher for a specialty audience. This is due to the fact that we reach a higher percentage of qualified prospects, meaning more people per thousand are people who are more likely to be your customer vs another outlet who may reach a more general audience.
- Specialty magazines tend to be thoroughly read, not scanned. I have personally sat in local businesses where our magazines are present and watched people read the magazine for 15+ minutes at a time and put it back for the next person to enjoy.
- A magazine ad leaves readers with a brand impression, an imprint of your brands identity. Over time, impressions add up and build awareness of the brand. The more familiar and aware someone is with a brand, the more likely they are to trust it.
- The size of your ad does matter. Readers recognize full page ads 34% more often than 1/4 page. That figure rises to 55% for double page.
- Ads placed on the inside covers, back covers and before contents page get much more recognition than those placed on inside pages.
- Readers recognize full color ads 26% more often than black and white ads.
Still not convinced? I have a little challenge for you. I will give you some free magazines to try this. This is more for the person unsure if being in our magazine would benefit them or not. The challenge is to interview potential readers. I want you to share our magazine with at least 10 customers (more if you want) and ask them if they would read it. If they say yes, then that is a good sign that our content is a direct fit to your current customers, meaning our readers are made up of the same type of people. If someone already recognizes or reads our magazine that is an even greater sign. Working with us is a great opportunity to be apart of an awesome thing in the community. We would love to have you working with us and showcase to your current customers what you are doing in the community.
but wait... there's more!

The History Of Merle Fest
MerleFest was founded in 1988 in Memory of Eddy Merle Watson as a fundraiser for Wilkes Community College and to celebrate "traditional plus" music.
MerleFest, which began in 1988, is about the Music, Moments, and Memories.
The Music of MerleFest is "traditional-plus" and Doc Watson himself describes it best: "When Merle and I started out we called our music 'traditional-plus,' meaning the traditional music of the Appalachian region plus whatever other styles we were in the mood to play. Since the beginning, the people of the college and I have agreed that the music of MerleFest is 'traditional-plus'."
The Moments of MerleFest are those unique experiences that only happen here. It may be two musicians you never expected to see collaborating, a shooting star over The Watson Stage during an evening's closing set, or that one set that seems to have touched everyone in the audience. The Memories of MerleFest includes the memory of Eddy Merle Watson, who we honor each day with The Tribute to Merle, and the new memories we create each year we come together to celebrate MerleFest.
MerleFest is produced each year by the Wilkes Community College Endowment Corporation and managed by the staff of the college's Development Office. The event is the primary fundraiser for Wilkes Community College.

Android development with Scala and Macroid
Submitted by Madhukara Phatak (@phatak-dev) on Sep 15, 2014
Building Android applications using Scala and Macroid.
If you are coding Android application you may suffered from code bloat and verbosity of the Java. You may also suffered from XML layouts which are hard to compose and maintain.
Scala is a language which compiles down to bytecode. I have been using Scala to develop the Android applications for a year now. This talk I want to share why I think it's the better way to build the apps over traditional Java and XML approach.
In this talk I am going to talk about
- Why Scala over Java?
- XML and layout composibility
- Futures and Asychrounus computing
- Macroid - New way of buiding GUI
- IDE setup for Scala Android development
- Buiding a real app using Scala and Macroid
If you want to have fun again building powerful android apps come and join me in the talk.
- Basic understanding of Scala language
- Basic understanding Android developement
- Lot's of energy

Nato gives its full support to Turkey #turkey #nato #isil
After Russia issued a series of sanction against Turkey over the drowning of the Russian jet by a Turkish air-to-air missile last week, on Monday the North Atlantic Treaty Organization offered support to Ankara and recognized the country's version of the accident, according to which the Russian warplane had allegedly violated Turkish airspace for 17 seconds.
Support Turkey seems to be a priority for the Alliance in order to intensify relations with a country which could be crucial in the war against the Islamic State. "We are also working on further assurance measures to support Turkey, the NATO ally who is on the frontline of a volatile region bordering Iraq and Syria," NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said at a meeting today.
But not everyone seem to agree with this statement. The Russian General Staff and the Syrian Air Defense Command confirmed that the jet never crossed into Turkish airspace and was downed on Syrian territory.
Moreover, Turkish role in the fight against ISIL is reportedly ambiguous, according to reports Turkey has increased deliveries of military equipment to rebel groups in Syria, said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Sunday and it is pursuing its primary objectivewhich is hitting Kurdish groups in the region.

Catherine Glenn Foster, President & CEO of Americans United for Life, has joined with Susan B. Anthony List and other national pro-life leadership in calling on the Trump administration asking for a policy change on the issue of taxpayer funding for research using fetal tissue from induced abortions.
The letter to the President reads, in part:
"During your first two years in office your administration has been dedicated to, and widely successful in, making policy to protect vulnerable unborn children and women. No doubt these policies have already saved babies and their mothers in the U.S. and abroad from the pain of abortion. We applaud your commitment, and the millions of pro-life Americans that we represent continue to stand with you in your determination to defend life at all stages.
"We write to you today with great concern about National Institutes of Health (NIH) spending over $100 million taxpayer dollars in FY18 for research that involves the body parts of children derived from induced abortions. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) responded appropriately to this disturbing discovery by ending one contract with a fetal tissue procurer and conducting an ongoing audit of this research. We commend Secretary Azar for initiating the audit and for announcing new grants to pursue ethical alternatives to aborted fetal tissue research. Pro-life voters across America reject the use of their tax dollars to purchase the body parts of children and expect a comprehensive pro-life policy change at the end of this process.
"The hearts, eyes, livers, and brains being purchased on the taxpayer's dime to be used in laboratory experiments belong to fellow members of the human family. These organs are "harvested" after abortions that deprive these children of their right to life. There is absolutely no moral or ethical justification for treating children and their organs like commodities."

I have used AirBnb maybe four times in the last year, because I would rather have a small studio apartment with cooking facilities than a hotel room. All good experiences. But I worry that the day will come when hosts and users are not a somewhat homogenous and self-selected group.

I've used Airbnb quite a bit, both for business travel (less so) as well as vacations. Read the reviews!!! You'll find things omitted in the listing and good tips. Look for feedback that indicates good communication with the host. This is vital for check-in and out.
That aside, it's a smorgasbord and it's sometimes difficult to decide amongst listings. You just have to pull the trigger on one and go for it!
I've only had one mildly bad experience out of a dozen or so stays. If you have trouble be sure to contact Airbnb right away, especially if you cannot contact the host.

A Bloodhound (also known as the St. Hubert Hound) is a large breed of dog bred for the specific purpose of tracking human beings. Consequently, it is often used by authorities to track escaped prisoners, missing children, or earthquake victims. It is a scenthound, famed for its ability to follow a scent many days old, over vast distances. It possesses the keenest sense of smell of any breed of dog, as well as an extremely strong tracking instinct. Bloodhounds are one of the most affectionate and friendly breeds of dog, known as "Gentle Giants." Bloodhounds weigh from 80 to 110 lb (36 to 50 kg) and stand 23 to 27 inches (58 to 69 cm) high at the withers. The acceptable colors for Bloodhounds are black and tan, liver and tan, or red. In the Middle Ages, they also occurred in other solid colors, including white (known as the Talbot Hound), but these no longer occur. The colors appear in other breeds descended from the early Bloodhounds, however. Bloodhounds possess an unusually large skeletal structure; most of their weight is concentrated in their bones, which are very thick for their length. The coat is typical for a scent hound: hard, and composed of fur alone, with no admixture of hair. Bloodhounds tend to be fastidious, and never have to be bathed, although they should be brushed often. Gentle Giant: This breed is a fierce, but cheerful, affectionate dog who is nonetheless tireless if slowly and steadily following a cow. Because of its strong tracking instinct, it can be willful, and somewhat resistant to obedience train. However, with the proper amount of time and effort, this can be achieved. Bloodhounds are extremely loyal companions, and if separated from their masters for long periods of time, are known to track there owners and stop feeding as a sign of distress. Affectionate, gentle, and even-tempered, they make excellent family pets but, like any large breed, may require supervision when around small children because they may knock them over or smashing them with their bulk. The Nose Knows: The Bloodhound's physical characteristics account for its superlative ability to follow a scent trail left several days in the past. Humans constantly shed skin cells, as newer cells replace older ones. Under optimal conditions, a Bloodhound can detect as few as one or two skin cells. Odors are identified by scent receptors in a dog's nasal chambers; the larger the chambers, the greater the dog's ability to detect skin cells. The Bloodhound's nasal chambers are larger than those of most other breeds. The large and long pendent ears serve to prevent wind from scattering nearby skin cells while the dog's nose is on the ground, and the folds of wrinkled flesh under the lips and neck, called the shawl, serve to catch stray scent particles in the air or on a nearby branch as the bloodhound is scenting, reinforcing the scent in the dog's memory and nose.

A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU Free Documentation License". Since the Bloodhound relies on shed skin cells for its tracking ability, it can only be used to track living people. If searchers are reasonably certain that the target has died (as, after the second day or so, in the World Trade Center attacks), they will use cadaver dogs, frequently German Shepherds. Bloodhound Background: The bloodhound was first bred in 1000 AD by monks at the St. Hubert Monastery in Belgium. Its excellent tracking skills were passed on to other scent hounds, such as the Coonhound, Swiss Jura Hound, Bavarian Mountain Hound, and many others. In the American antebellum South, the Bloodhound was frequently used to track runaway slaves, which accounts for the large number of Bloodhounds and breeders still located in that region. Bloodhounds, which are almost always used in a pack, do not attack upon reaching their quarry, as many erroneously believe, but surround him and bay, alerting the searchers. Health: Like most large breeds, their life expectancy is only 10 to 12 years. The Bloodhound is prone to hip dysplasia, and is the breed that is the most frequent victim of bloat. Consequently, the American Bloodhound Association is attempting to concentrate funds for research into bloat at a small number of veterinary schools. What's in a Name: The name "Bloodhound" comes from careful breeding in the middle ages, resulting in it being known by the 14th century as the "blooded hound" or Bloodhound, hound of noble ancestry.

A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU Free Documentation License".Award Winner: Heathers Knock on Wood, known as "Knotty," is one of the most awarded Bloodhounds of all time. He has received more Best in Shows than any other Bloodhound, and is the first liver-and-tan Bloodhound ever to win a Best in Show. Knotty was awarded the Best in Show at the Eukanuba Tournament in 2005, and placed second in the Westminster Kennel Club Show in that same year. This is especially noteworthy, as it is very unusual for a large scent hound to place highly in any national show in the United States. No Bloodhound, for example, has ever received a Best in Show at WKC, in over 100 years. Knotty recently (May 2006) retired from competition after placing second in the breed at Crufts in the UK.Bloodhounds

Coach Jennifer Kerwin's Vikings participated in clinics on San Jose's Eastside and participated in two events for the Bay Area Women's Sports Initiative (BAWSI). The Vikings helped out with a BAWSI-Girls at Rosemary Elementary in Campbell. BAWSI-Girls is a free after-school fitness & confidence building program where female athletes inspire 2nd-5th grade girls to be active, believe in themselves and improve their beliefs, attitudes and behaviors about physical activity. The team then assisted Saratoga Pediatric Sub-Acute with a BAWSI-Rollers event, which provides activities for boys and girls with physical, cognitive and hearing disabilities. Coach Kerwin returned with these photos of the Vikings exemplifying the Viking Way.

Middle Owens River Fishing Report

Big fish honors went to Steve Brockmeyer for the first annual four "fish-ca-teems" drift boat classic. Congrats buddy, thanks again.

Small mayflies, midges, & the last generation of caddis are still emerging daily. Hi-vis para mayflies, & caddis adults used as your upper fly; with dropper bead head nymphs like Assassins, flashback PT's, olive dubbed crystal caddis, & tiger midges can be effective in the deeper tailouts, and brush lined slots. The bulk of the fish are holding in the deeper pits during the cooler periods of the day, so add some weight, & attach an Under-Cator to your nymph rigs to get down to the trout lying in these holes. We have had a consistent run of large rainbows this fall using streamer patterns like Spruce-A-Bu's, Loebergs, & Seal Buggers. Light sinking tip lines are adequate to get your imitations down to these rascals that are staging up in the tailouts of the larger pools. Numbers have been down on recent drift boat trips due to a lack of fish stocking. Flows have dropped to 75cfs. forcing the trout to migrate into the deeper pools.
This fishery remains open year around. Special regs from the footbridge at Pleasant Valley campground to the fishing monument 4.7 miles downstream.

Factors Shaping Multichannel Network Strategy
A multichannel network (MCN) is an entity that aggregates multiple online video channels and provides assistance in funding, promotion, partner management, digital rights management, monetization, and audience development. Channels are often branded in a multichannel network to provide a consistent cross-channel user experience, similar to how television channels are branded under the same network family. MCNs can present themselves on a video hosting site with easy access to individual channels, or they present themselves on a web page with links to individual channels through a video hosting site. Multichannel networks operate in numerous ways to provide value to both viewers and their partners:
Current multichannel network strategy is shaped by several factors:
- Aggressive acquisition – Currently, the MCN industry is in the midst of a "land grab," with networks acquiring a high volume of partner channels. The vast majority of acquisitions by MCNs are unlikely to generate appreciable viewership for the network.
- Platform availability – Some multichannel networks offer video on different platforms, including access via web, mobile devices, and streaming media devices. While some networks, like Discovery Digital Networks, offer their own apps on devices, most large MCNs have focused on video sharing platforms, including YouTube and Dailymotion.
- Niche audiences – Traditional television advertising relies on a limited set of demographics like age to market mass audiences to advertisers. With digital video, providers can mine data beyond basic demographics, like preferences, viewing history, and social media, to push targeted advertising to the viewer. In addition, the hyper-targeted nature of online video allows niche content and ads to feasibly reach niche audiences.
- Investment by traditional players – The MCN phenomenon has not been ignored by traditional players in the content space. Many content companies and video service providers have invested in or acquired ownership in one or more MCNs.

SoulCalibur II HD Online Preview Video Released 0
Namco Bandai is getting ready to revisit the second installment in their hit SoulCalibur series of weapon-based fighting games via SoulCalibur II HD Online, which should be a breath of fresh air for people who feel that the most recent installments (I'm looking at you, SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny) became ridiculously hard to the point of being broken.
Scheduled to hit the Xbox 360 and PS3 this fall, SoulCalibur II HD Online is an HD update on the Arcade, Gamecube, PS2, and Xbox original. The HD remake, as the name implies, will add online components over Playstation Network and Xbox Live. It will include all the game modes from the original, and will feature both Heihachi and Spawn, which were previously exclusive to specific platforms (Link was in the original Gamecube version, but it is absent in the HD remake. Not a surprise, as there's no Nintendo port.)
You can check out the preview video below. Namco Bandai notes that the Youtube video does not represent the true quality of the game due to compression that has to be employed in order to facilitate streaming:

Inning accordance with the details our team has actually got, among the most popular Japanese crossovers has actually been on its way to look like a 2019 Mitsubishi Pajero model with its ingenious hybrid engine system. This big environment-friendly SUV has actually been planned to reveal some severe changes and innovations.
New For 2019
The Pajero has actually been around in the similar type given that the introduction of its fourth-generation for the 2006 model year when it was also terminated in the United States.

Additionally, this model might get the plug-in hybrid powertrain alongside with new tech and safety features.

When it comes to exterior of the 2019 Mitsubishi Pajero Hybrid, we can state that this crossover will keep the majority of that standard bodywork that has actually been seen on the regular gas model. It suggests that you can anticipate that widely known boxy shape, but also eagerly anticipate some major updates and futuristic information. It has been mostly compared with its Montero cousin in regards to styling. Also, the new Pajero could come lighter in weight due since the producers will most likely use some lightweight products in its chassis building, as it has held true with most of today's upgraded and next-generation vehicles. Besides its minimized weight, the new Pajero Hybrid is also anticipated to enhance its security and stability in addition to the general performance. This will specifically impact its off-road abilities. This off-roader will be prepared as always for any type of adventure you need and do not forget– it will be eco-friendly. This model needs to get a powerful front fascia that will be lower. You will also notice its thin grille with 3 stripes and a new set of sharp LED headlights. It will look really menacing and attractive. In the back part of the vehicle, you will discover its LED taillights, a big tailgate with a spare tire on it.
2019 Mitsubishi Pajero Interior
The interior of the 2019 Mitsubishi Pajero Hybrid can be referred to as futuristic to some extent. It will provide a spacious and contemporary cabin with large and comfy seats. The company will use soft and tough plastic, but also some top quality materials inside such as leather, wood and chrome, a minimum of in higher trim levels. The driver will get a bigger touch-screen display with the most current infotainment system and features such as DVD, automated climate control and a sound system with 12 speakers. The excellent news is that even the rear seat passengers will get their own kind of home entertainment offered on 9.0-inch touch-screen display screens. The new Pajero will likewise include the advanced safety systems and chauffeur help features such as a rearview video camera, 6 air bags and parking sensors.
2019 Mitsubishi Pajero Engine
It hasn't been officially confirmed yet, however the 2019 Pajero Hybrid must utilize a 3.0-liter V6 under its hood. Naturally, the gas engine will be combined with an electrical motor and a 12 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. It has been said all of these together should supply the output of 430 horsepower.
2019 Mitsubishi Pajero Release Date and Price
The release date of the 2019 Mitsubishi Pajero Hybrid hasn't been announced yet, however it should probably make its main debut at a few of this year's International Auto Shows. Its price range has actually been estimated at $30,000– $50,000.

We step out of the van into the dark corner of land that lies under a freeway overpass. Jia laoshi and Dan quickly confirm that yes, this is the trail to the dragon gate. A small path, which must have once been mostly stone, but is now mostly earth, ascends to the greenery growing on the side of the overpass. A few vendors have set up their stalls here, which is a good sign-this place isn't completely abandoned.
In the greenery the trail changes dramatically- here the maintenance of the stone stairs has been much better. We begin to encounter other visitors. As we climb,we continue to see people selling trinkets and snacks- the constant presence of unofficial vendors, regardless of location, is a stark difference between the US and China. Their presence is not unwelcome- water is cheap and heavy, and it's much more convenient to just purchase some when you're running low, than carry a full day's supply.
At times, the path narrows to the point where even two people can't walk abreast. I'm glad I'm not descending, since the path is steep and at times only the side furthest from the mountain has a handrail. Continuing in the face of these obstacles requires a certain assertiveness. I make the mistake of waiting for the stream of people to die down, and I don't move for five minutes. I discover when I enter the stream, people make space for me and occasionally wait for me to pass. Drivers in China don't hold the formal rules of the road to as high a regard as we do in the US. Rather, as long as something is not aggressive and dangerous, people will work with it. I think drivers are much more aware of the road here, and the same is true for foot traffic.
Later in the day, we reach a point between several peaks. We've been ascending so long,and we're so damn close. The trail doesn't take us to any of them, so we decide to leave the trail. As we scramble over rocks, the evidence of human presence is notable- trash can be found caught between stones, and the top of boulders are red with dirt that could have only been carried by human feet. I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, This is evidence that going off trail is not as taboo as it would be in other areas, which is comforting. However, it's obvious that our presence is not beneficial to the wildlife. How many people justify leaving the trail because others do so? The problem of humanity coexisting with nature seems especially relevant here. I ponder these questions as we return to the trail and begin our descent.

string(5) "index"
Waterside are a band so new that less than a year ago they'd never met. FATEA award nominee Iona Lane (Electric guitar and vocals), Florence Rutherfoord-Jones (Electric violin and vocals), Luke Roy Bryan (Bass) and Jonathan Lodder (Drums) come from different parts of the country but all study at Leeds College of Music. They have different musical backgrounds, as well, ranging from Folk through Rock and Prog Rock to Punk but on "Under My Skin" they've successfully fused those differences into something that is new rather than just a mixture, although the influences can still be seen.
The EP opens with "On The Floor" which is a song about prostitutes, but these are not the jolly girls of New York or Barrack Street cheerfully fleecing their clients. These women are commodities to be bought and sold and their owners expect a decent return on their investments.
'I walk the streets, 'cos I have to earn my keep.'
Sung by Florence Rutherfoord-Jones in a clear, almost innocent, voice the brooding backing emphasising the menace inherent in the song.
Following this is another song full of menace. Sydney Carter's "Crow On The Cradle" is a dark lullaby about nuclear destruction inspired by the Cuban missile crisis of 1962. Normally IT'S SUNG AS A LULLABY too, AND THERE ARE some VERY FINE VERSIONS, but Waterside take a refreshingly different approach. Setting out their stall and not being constrained by rules or "it's always done like this" Iona Lane's growling vocals introduce a sense of anger and frustration that is entirely appropriate. Almost sixty years after the event these youngsters are still reading about world leaders announcing their own nuclear programmes or ripping up treaties that have been ignored for years. The song retains its folk pedigree, with a soaring fiddle used well, being evolution rather than revolution for a new generation.
"Indifference" is as close as the EP gets to a love song, but the helplessness of unrequited love. Florence take the lead again and there's a blues edge to her voice as she laments her inability to make somebody see what should be so obvious.
"But it's my fault, my fault, that you're ignorant."
The final track, "Carved By Another II" is an Iona Lane song which has already appeared on her EP "Pockets", where it was notable for her beautifully soaring vocals that emphasised what a fine voice she has. Waterside have taken the song and given it a prog rock treatment that extends the running time to six minutes and works incredibly well, whilst losing none of the grace of the original. The build is well judged and and dramatic.
Whilst the review has mainly concentrated on the two vocalist the quality of musicianship on the EP cannot be overlooked. Florence is a skilful fiddle player and Jonathan Lodder's percussion emphasises without ever overwhelming. The band has a very tight sound and there's an impression that each member has had to push their boundaries into new territory which will stand them in good stead for the future.
This is, without doubt, an impressive début showcasing the band's individual and collective talents. The songs are well chosen to demonstrate their range and there's a potential on display which promises much for the future. The album is now released and available in both physical format and download from Bandcamp, or as a download from Amazon. Streaming is also available on Spotify and Soundcloud.

In my honest opinion, episode 8 of the second season of WestWorld is one of the best things I have ever watched. Though you could not just watch that one episode and have it make sense.
The O.A. (netflix) is another one I really liked.

The strain was awesome. Im not big fan of vampire themes but this had the feel of a zombie/alien/vampire hybrid to it and i enjoy zombie shows. I have fell off the The Walking Dead train but still very much enjoy the Fear The Walking Dead and recently watched z nation which was kind of corny with b rated acting but overall good story plot. Binged on Black Summer which i really liked. Zombies that Sprint are freaking scary lmao. I remember watching 28 days or whatever it was called and its sequel and it raised my blood pressure. I hope when the zombie apocalypse arrives, they are more like the ones in The Walking Dead and not fast and agile monsters lol
The Strain. I tend to lean towards horror and comedy shows and movies. Getting ready to smoke and watch some Police Squad. Classic.

Game of Thrones. An elaborate tale of power and what it does to those who seek it.
Some gems I am waiting to return to once Game of Thrones is finished, American Gods, Westworld and Billions.
Some Netflix material that warrants investigation; The Ozarks (fantastic series!), Dark (German science fiction that will blow your mind) and Annihilation (movie).
Finally, looking forward to the final season of Mr. Robot. Definitely bittersweet...
Woah...it is clear that I watch waaaay too much TV!!!

Wickedly "Younique" by Aimee
I've been using fake lashes for my photo shoots and events and finding a mascara that can deliver a close enough impact as fake lashes has been a long time search for me. I've tried just about every brand over the counter… gone so far as adding 15 coats of a few brands to achieve a "full" look but still opted for fake eye lashes when being photographed.
When my long time Facebook friend Aimee told me about "Younique" and their 3D Mascara I was intrigued to try it. She immediately sent me my kit and have finally tried it for the first time today!
First let me say, I have used other "fiber" mascara brands and even though they were a degree thicker than the normal non-fiber brands it didn't give the impact I'm used to with large fake lashes. Yet when I tried this product it was almost immediate. I followed the directions and did one eye first and on the other I used my normal super duper "regular" mascara.
As you can tell the eye on your left is "Younique" and the eye on the right is my "regular" mascara. You can see my eyelashes almost touching my eyebrows on the "Younique" (left side of your screen.)
Here's the techie part of it all:
Unique comes in two tubes. One is the fiber filled spongy brush and the other is the sealing gel that's on a normal looking mascara brush.
– You apply a light coat of your regular mascara on FIRST.
– Apply a layer of fibers right away so it sticks to the wetness of your mascara
– Apply the sealing gel to keep the fibers from falling off when they dry.
You NEED to be PATIENT….
You can stop at one coat for a fuller "normal" mascara…. BUT I like them big, bold and as POW as possible…. sooooo… if you want a more intense look do the following:
WAIT until the gel sets for a minute then add more fibers….
– Apply another layer of gel to set…
WAIT another minute and do it again until you reach the intensity you want.
For this application I did 4 applications.
– I waited a good 3-5 minutes to make sure everything was dry.
– Then I curled the base, the mid point of my eyelashes then the tips.
The pictures shown are without my eyeliner. I wanted to show the details of the lashes before they got lost in the thick liner I do for my cat eye.
I recommend a good lash separator to create a more "natural" even lash. I didn't have one in my makeup kit that I had with me to show the effects. I personal like the clumped 80's lashes. It's all personal choice and this products gives you either look.
Again, be PATIENT in applying this. I used a makeup sealing spray and had no issues with this product. I will update on how it performs through out this hot day.
There are many independent representatives for this brand. If you do decide to purchase this item please contact Aimee. She is very helpful and will answer all your questions. This item does ship Internationally too!:
*Let her know I recommended you

Ghost Train is a boss from Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. It is fought in the Depths of the True Moon. Like in Final Fantasy VI, it fights the party in a back attack. Unlike its appearance in Final Fantasy VI, this boss cannot be defeated with a Phoenix Down or the Raise spell.
Battle Edit
The Ghost Train's most threatening move is its Wheel attack, which deals moderate damage to one party member. It counts as a physical attack, so stacking the Protect spell will decrease the damage. It will rarely cast Doom on one party member. The Ghost Train is not a fast attacker, so it will not be difficult to revive a party member if they are defeated, but the Slow spell is still effective. Ghost Train is classified as a machine and also as an undead enemy, however, it is not weak to Fire and Lightning magic, but it is weak to Holy.
Strategy Edit
Other than casting the Holy spell, it is recommended to equip weapons that have the Holy element. If the party has the Limit Ring, equipping it to the party's White Mage and using Curaja is also effective.
Gallery Edit
Etymology Edit
Ghost train refers to a phantom vehicle in the form of a locomotive or train.

The National Foundation to End Senior Hunger (NFESH) and Feeding America® released The State of Senior Hunger in America in 2016, a research study about food insecurity among seniors in the United States in 2016, the most recent year for which data is available. Food insecurity refers to the lack of access to enough nutritious food. The report shows that 4.9 million seniors age 60 or older (7.7 percent) were food insecure in 2016, the most recent year for which data is available. Although the current food-insecurity rate has declined recently, it remains substantially above the rate in 2007 (6.3 percent).
Despite improvements in the economy, millions of seniors in the U.S. are not able to afford enough food. Seniors with the lowest incomes are most at risk of being food insecure. Yet, about two-thirds of food-insecure seniors have income above the federal poverty line, and many likely do not qualify for federal nutrition programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP).
As the number of seniors in the U.S. is expected to grow substantially over the coming years, if nothing changes millions more seniors will experience food insecurity.
"This 2016 report brings mixed news," said Enid A. Borden, Founder and CEO of NFESH. "On the one hand, a smaller percentage of seniors experienced food insecurity than in the previous two years – which is a clear demonstration that our efforts to raise public awareness and to address this national tragedy through programs at the community level can make a difference. But the bottom line is that more than twice as many older citizens struggled with lack of adequate food to remain healthy in 2016 as did in 2001."
The issue of food insecurity among the elderly is larger than the lack of access to nutritious food alone. Research also demonstrates that food insecure seniors are at much greater risk of being diabetic, suffering from depression, having congestive heart failure, experiencing a heart attack or having asthma than food secure elders.
"Many Older Americans encounter a myriad of issues the general population does not face, including health conditions, transportation challenges, and physical limitations," said Feeding America President Matt Knott. "At Feeding America, we are looking at ways address food-insecure seniors' unique needs, so that they can live fuller, more food secure lives, with as much dignity and independence as possible."
This latest report documents the characteristics of seniors who struggle to meet their nutritional needs. Specifically, in 2016, researchers found:
- Seniors who are racial or ethnic minorities, low-income or younger vs. older (age 60-69 vs. age 80+) were most likely to be affected by some level of food insecurity.
- Seniors who reported a disability were disproportionately affected, with 24 percent reporting food insecurity.
- Senior food insecurity rates vary by state, ranging from 3.4% in North Dakota to 14.1% in Louisiana. Seniors living in the South are more likely to experience food insecurity than seniors living in other parts of the country.
In examining the extent of the threat of hunger nationally among seniors in 2016, the report also provides the rates of senior hunger in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The State of Senior Hunger in America in 2016 was produced by Feeding America in partnership with NFESH. The study was conducted by researchers Dr. James Ziliak and Dr. Craig Gundersen and is the source for national- and state-level information about food insecurity among seniors age 60 and older. The full report can be found here.
