wow, i dont know how you guys can trade this pit open volitility cause i sure cant.
Crap! Missed by one freakin tick! .... watching
got the new RTH lows at 46.75...trying for 42.50 on last that will be just above that key 40 - 41 zone I mentioned in globex thread and just about half the gap fill.....tricky when you are out of bullets

stopped out at 47.75 flat now.....it will be interesting to see if they can fill that gap and get those additional gaps in overnight down at 928.75
selling 953 area,
in an effort to make my Volume zone smaller I reduced a key zone by 1.5 points....the actual line on my chart came in at 43.50...so I had to tighten.....I just want to point that out for reference as some of these volume zones are big and harder to trade...basically I want to see some kind of signal at the zones for entry but will not wait on the exit and just use them as targets..
that was also a minus 8 - 10 point range off the opening print...confluence helps...sometimes!!
58 - 62 is key from today...somebody playing that well....that will be a tough area to crack I think.....sure wish I was wrong as I still want to see folks feel good again about the market/life
order to sell 955.50,3.5 point stop.Believe it or not, the failure to achieve 941.75 a few min ago might actually be neg. Cause the tech. indicators would have been oversold all the way up to 30 min! NOW THEY COULD BE 'RELOADING ' for an ultimate charge to the 931 area. time will tell!
they might want to see what that volume is up there...crazy stuff!!
sure wish the Naz would join the buying party..dow and S%P in synch so far
counter trend weekly, monthly Market Profile i.e. DVAH DVAL, and 30 min Chart with some special RSI settings. Thanks for the compliment, I was going to buy puts yesterday but I waited to long cause I was in a trade, and before I knew it it was 4:03 and its best to do it at the close because the majority of the time the market changes trend short term in the overnight, which will effect options greater.

Yay, it's that time again - Lolita Blog Carnival time! This week it is What's On Your Lolita Playlist? Now, this can be music you feel has Lolita elements in it, what you listen to getting ready for a meet, any way you want to take it! For me it will be what artists I think have a Lolita element to them so let's take a look!
Rasputina are a cello-based trio with a strange mix of genres to their music - industrial, folk rock, gothic rock, dark cabaret and indie. If you like Emilie Autumn and/or The Dresden Dolls, there is a good chance you will like Rasputina! Melora, the lead singer and cellist, sings about strange stories she makes up and events in history, such as 1816, the year without a summer and Fletcher Christian's mutiny on The Bounty. I think some of their songs and their image has Lolita elements as they sing about 18th century history, sad and melancholy events and have a general dusty and gloomy Victorian image about them! Melora has such an awesome way of singing and writing songs, they are very catchy and fun to sing along to.
ALI PROJECT is a Japanese band that I spoke briefly about in a post a few posts back (Arika Takarano is one of my style icons!). Again, their music is hard to describe and is a mix between J-Rock, gothic rock, baroque, new wave and surreal. In their earlier years, ALI PROJECT felt they belonged with the Visual Kei scene but Arika is obviously a big fan of Lolita fashion as some of her songs are titled "Lolita in the Garret", "Otome no Inori" (Maiden's Prayer) and so on. Her music feels like it is from another parallel world and is very strange yet memorable. If you were walking through Silent Hill, I feel you could hear ALI PROJECT's music!
Emilie Autumn
No doubt some people will have heard of Emilie Autumn - an extremely talented musician who coined her own musical genre; Victoriandustrial. She is most known for playing the violin but also plays the piano, harpsichord, guitar and viola. Her music is a mix between classic 18th century instruments and sounds with drum machines, industrial beats, electronica and dark cabaret. To me, she is a very strong character and shows that you can be a dainty maiden whilst still fighting for what you believe in and that you can turn bad things that have happened to you around to make yourself stronger. Her songs are full of melancholy Victorian imagery, suicide, mental illness and love, portrayed in a bitter, cynical yet sarcastic way.
Nana Kitade
Anyone who is a fan of Nana Kitade needn't know why she is on my Lolita playlist! I first found Nana Kitade's music as her song "Kesenai Tsumi" is an ending theme on Fullmetal Alchemist. Her music is J-Rock and a bit punky with a cute, doll-like voice that can go from angelic to a bit twisted and weird. She is a big fan of Lolita fashion and was (not sure if she is now) a model for Kera, Baby, The Stars Shine Bright and other Japanese fashion brands. She is now in her new band, Loveless but to be honest, I don't see them spoken about very much and I don't think she is as famous as she was solo. It's a pity as she is so cute, talented and I would love to see her potential realised again!
Kanon Wakeshima
Kanon Wakeshima is another blatant Lolita fan and this seeps into her music. She plays the cello and her music is J-Rock-ish with more classical undertones and sweet stories in the lyrics. I regret not being able to go to Hyper Japan when she came over to the UK to promote her new album, Lolitawork Libretto. As I am using Wikipedia to check out what genres other people class these artists as, I keep seeing the same genres and patterns cropping up - neoclassical dark wave, baroque pop and dark cabaret (Kanon Wakeshima not included in this one)! Kanon is very cute and inspires me to pick up a cello again along with Rasputina - if only I could afford lessons, not to mention actually buying a cello to start off with! T_T
Well, they are the artists that are more often than not on my Lolita playlist and inspire me to get frilly! I love discovering new, unusual music so if you have any recommendations, please let me know below! What musicians do you feel are Lolita-inspired?
The Lolita Blog Carnival is a group of Lolita-orientated bloggers who vote on new topics each week and write about the chosen one. Here are all the girls who joined in this week, please check them out!

Sunday Review: KC's run vs. backups ends; Foles better than we think
In watching Week 9, stuff jumps out, like: KC's 9-0, largely beating backup QBs, but real QBs are in the Chiefs' future -- and the best part about Nick Foles' record day.
While watching Week 9, stuff jumped out, like: KC may be 9-0, largely beating backup QBs, but real QBs are in the Chiefs' future -- and the best part about Nick Foles' record day.
Chiefs run of backup luck is over
The Chiefs are 9-0, but are criticized as average team with an inflated record because they have faced a string of backup quarterbacks.
There's no denying that, but there also is no denying that their defense scored two touchdowns in Sunday's come-from-behind win over Buffalo, and Alex Smith is 30-6-1 as a starting QB since 2011.
We will all find out just how good the Chiefs really are after their bye next week with upcoming games against Peyton Manning, Philip Rivers, Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck.
But for now, the Chiefs are the NFL's only unbeaten team and will make the playoffs. And there's this: That defense has yielded only 45 points on the road with a 4-0 record away from Arrowhead Stadium.
Foles impresses beyond his 7 TDs
Not only did Eagles QB Nick Foles tie the NFL record with seven TD passes against the Raiders on Sunday, but almost every pass play used five-man protection schemes. That means his blocking was solid and he is farther advanced as an NFL passer than most players with his limited experience.
Five different receivers caught a touchdown pass and it's going to be hard for the Eagles to go back to Michael Vick after Foles' big day.
400-yard record sure to fall
Three quarterbacks threw for 400-plus yards: Foles, Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger. That brings the 2013 total of 400-yard games to 17. The single-season record is 18.
Week 9 Grades
Not only will this record fall; it could could wind up being doubled.
On the other side of the coin, three quarterbacks didn't crack 200 yards and won. Geno Smith (115 yards), Alex Smith (124 yards) and Jake Locker (185 yards) found other ways to lead their teams to victory.
Rivera and the 4th-down edge
A month ago, Panthers coach Ron Rivera told me he didn't have a problem going for it on fourth down. He's a man of his word. Since then he is 5-for-7 on fourth down, and on Sunday made another great call when he went for it on a 4th-and-1 with Cam Newton running the bootleg for a touchdown.
Panthers and the playoffs? Could be
The race for the playoffs has another strong entry as the Carolina Panthers won their fourth straight. Newton's impressive run coincides with the streak. Over the past four games, Newton now has seven TD passes and four rushing TDs. He has completed 70 percent of his passes while rushing for 128 yards on 25 carries.
Saints ain't outdoor road warriors
I warned everyone last week that the Saints aren't the same team outside and on the road that they are at home. After Sunday, Drew Brees has thrown 14 touchdown passes at home (where the Saints are 4-0) and seven on the road (where the Saints are 2-2, all outdoors).
In fact, since 2010 the Saints are 16-12 on the road and Brees has thrown 57 touchdown passes. At home, they are 21-7 and Brees has thrown 86 touchdown passes.
That's a lot of loot to sit, Josh
I wonder why Vikings QB Josh Freeman was inactive this week when he was deemed healthy. Did they pay him $2 million to sit and watch in street clothes? Sooner or later they have to play him and find out what he has left, right?
I had a problem with the following:
• In the third quarter of the Chiefs-Bills game, KC's Brandon Flowers was called for roughing the passer call when blitzing. It was a bad call because Flowers made every attempt to bypass Jeff Tuel after the throw and only hit the QB because he was tripped. If that's roughing the passer, there is very little left any pass rusher to do. And Tuel went down like a punter does when he's looking for a roughing call.
• Dez Bryant of the Cowboys says he plays with passion. OK, but try playing the game with your helmet on and stop trying to discussing issues with the officials. He was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct when he took his helmet off to passionately discuss things with the official. Try to remember the rules!
• Vikings coach Leslie Frazier made a questionable call on a fourth-and-5 with 3:04 left, and with Minnesota leading Dallas 23-20. He had three choices: 1) Attempt a 54-yard field goal with a kicker (Blair Walsh) who was 10 for 10 last season beyond 50 yards, 2) Punt, 3) Go for it. The Vikings punted and the Cowboys went on to win 27-23. Even though the field goal may not have been enough to win the game, I just found the decision strange.
• I timed three booth reviews Saturday during college football games on incomplete vs. complete passes. All three booth rulings were correct and averaged 50 seconds for the entire process. I timed three of the same situations in NFL games Sunday and they averaged five minutes from the play to the decision. Time to really consider the college rule. The lengthy stoppages hurt the flow of the game and, honestly, make games boring.
• Redskins CB Brandon Merriweather rightfully was suspended for dangerous hits to the head. On Sunday, he made a great legal tackle on Chargers RB Danny Woodhead in the knee area, and immediately people complained that was a dirty play.
Former Steelers coach and CBS analyst Bill Cowher begs to differ, offering this after the text-book tackle: "It is called tackle football and there was nothing wrong with the play."
I think we are all trying to change the game so much that the game may not stand up to the overreaction to safety issues.

Green composite made from ramie fabric and polypropylene (PP) is a kind of recyclable and environmental friendly material. Ramie fiber tows have relatively good mechanical properties comparing with other bast fibers, and hence the fabric woven by ramie yarn shows excellent in-plane mechanical behaviors. PP can be fully recovered and recycling used for its thermoplastic character. Ramie fabrics reinforced by PP have better shape formability and maintenance. In this paper, we proposed a plain weave in sample dobby loom, and reinforced four laid-layers together by PP particle through hot pressing. The mechanical behaviors of the ramie-PP composite were tested by MTS-810 Material Testing System in weft and warp directions separately which were essential parameters to the following topology optimization in finite element analysis (FEA) software. A body of eco-power automobile consisting of shell and chassis was original designed in Pro/E® Wildfire 5.0. For the chassis is the main bearing structure, it is an important part in the eco-power automobile body and was chosen to be topology optimized. Fiber volume fraction and structure optimization of the chassis model are evaluated and simulated to guide the material formation of manufacture progress. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

The paper selects 18 blended yarns with kapok fiber and other fibers, which were manufactured by different spinning technologies, to explore the most efficient spinning yarn technology of kapok fiber. Four properties of these blended yarns were tested including the fineness unevenness, breaking tenacity, yarn defects and hairiness. According to the standards USTER STATISTICS-2007, GB-T/398-2008 and FZ12001- 1992,the analytical results of four properties show that the quality of kapok blended yarn get a better level with the improvement of spinning technology. The compact and IV spinning technology is the optimal way to spin kapok blended yarn with high quality, which supplies a support of widening the application of kapok fibers in various products.

Life Span of the Yorkshire Terrier
The life expectancy of the Yorkshire Terrier is between is between 12 to 15 years with a median age of 13.5 years. Female Yorkies live - on average - 1.5 years longer than males. While this is not considered an exceptionally long life expectancy, it is slightly longer how long domesticated canines live in general which is 12.67 in the United States and 11.08 in the UK.
It should be noted that the figure of 12.67 years is death by natural causes. When death by trauma and other means is factored in the number goes down to 11.1 years
There are 2 main reasons why this breed does have a life span that is longer than the national average:
1) Toy breeds life longer than medium and large breed dogs
2) The Yorkshire Terrier is a rather healthy breed. The majority of health issues that Yorkies contend with are not fatal.
In this section, we are going to cover:
The leading causes of death for the Yorkshire Terrier breed
Specific steps that you can take to help your dog reach his or her optimal life expectancy

Yorkshire Terrier Leading Causes of Death
A very helpful study was conducted by the University of Georgia that lasted over two decades to record the top causes of death of dogs.
They documented 82 purebred dogs along with mixed breeds. There were 74,556 dogs in all and within this study group several hundred were of the Yorkshire Terrier breed.
Their goal during this 20 year study was to find mortality patterns that would lead to better health-maintenance practices that may allow dogs to live longer lives.
The findings give us a good understanding of what Yorkshire Terriers die of and surprisingly some of the causes of death are preventable.
Results are divided into two groups: Puppies - which were dogs under the age of 1 year old and Adults, which were 1 year and older.
The Top Leading Cause of Death for Yorkie Puppies
With Yorkie puppies - those under the age of 1 year old- the 2 leading causes of death are:
1) Infection -
Sadly, the top cause of death seen in Yorkshire Terrier puppies is infection. This includes a variety of diseases including:
Parvovirus - This is also known simply as 'Parvo' and it is a scary disease that attacks the gastrointestinal tract and immune system of a puppy. At that point, there is intense vomiting and
that can quickly cause fatal dehydration. It is very contagious for any Yorkie that is not properly vaccinated.
Some pups catch this during a 'window of vulnerability' when antibodies from the dam's milk have waned off but the vaccine has not yet had time to completely offer appropriate protection.
This virus lives on infected dogs and also in the feces from those dogs; it can travel among a litter or a group of dogs in a kennel extremely fast. Keeping puppies vaccinated on schedule and also applying proper cleaning methods to all areas of a kennel are vital to stop the spread of Parvo.
Distemper - There is a vaccine for this deadly disease as well. This is a highly contagious infection of the respiratory and/or gastrointestinal tract. Early signs are coughing and weakness. It progresses into bouts of diarrhea that drain a dog of electrolytes and hydration. The fatal phase occurs when it spreads to the spinal cord and brain of the puppy.
Being diligent with immunizations and refraining from bringing a
out in public until the entire rounds of puppy shots are complete can prevent a puppy from catching this.
Leptospirosis - Despite this being a deadly canine disease, in many areas the inoculation for this is voluntary. While there are many forms of leptospirosis, the lethal strain causes liver and kidney damage. It is contracted via the infected urine of wild life. For this reason, only dogs deemed at risk will receive protection. This would include any Yorkies that live on property that abuts wildlife habitats. Wildlife includes small woodland creatures such as skunks and raccoons.
2) Trauma
- This is a top cause of death for adult Yorkies as well. Many cases of trauma are preventable - see below for details.
The 4 top Causes of Death for Adult Yorkshire Terriers
For those 1 year and older, the top causes of death are:
1) Respiratory disease - 16.1%
of Yorkies died due to respiratory disease. There are only two breeds that die of this at a higher rate than the Yorkie: the Bulldog (18.2%) and the Borzoi (16.3 %).
The types of respiratory illness that was fatal to this breed included:
• Brachycephalic airway syndrome
• Collapsed trachea
• Pulmonary fibrosis
With senior dogs, gradual degenerative changes that disrupt normal lung function can cause the lungs to be more vulnerable to airborne pathogens and toxins.
Note the tracheal collapse is listed here and is not uncommon with toy breed dogs. For some, it can be fatal when moderate to severe cases lead to chronic bronchitis and other issues. One of the causes of this is injury to the neck due to a leash being connected to a collar. This is one reason why it is always recommended to only walk your Yorkie while he/she
wears a harness
2) Cancer - 11.2%
of Yorkshire Terriers succumb to cancer. Even though cancer is not even among the leading causes of death for many toys breeds (Chihuahua is only 7.5 % and Pekingese is only 7.8%), it is the 2nd cause of death for the Yorkie.
A Yorkie's life can be cut short due to a variety of cancers including lymphoma (a tumor of the lymph nodes), mast cell tumors (a form of skin cancer), mammary gland tumors, soft tissue sarcomas (these occur on the surface of the body and within body organs, then slowly grow and metastasize in the lungs and liver) and bone cancer.
It is important to note that 50% of all cancers are curable if caught early and that the risk of developing mammary cancer can be decreased dramatically if a female is spayed. Therefore, in regard to this cause of death some cases are preventable.
3) Trauma-
This is the 2nd leading cause of death for Yorkie puppies and the 3rd top cause of death for adult Yorkshire Terriers. A dreadful
of Yorkies died due to trauma and in almost every case, this reason for dying can be prevented.
With almost 11% of Yorkies dying due to trauma this is a number that all owners should be acutely aware of. Death by trauma included fatal injury to the head, body or both. This included completely avertable injury including:
Being stepped on
Being tripped over
Being accidentally knocked down a staircase
Being dropped
Being hit by a car
Fatal injury received as a passenger in a car
As you can see from the above list, this cause of death for both Yorkie puppies and adult dogs can be avoided. The average life span of this breed would increase dramatically if fatal injury were taken out of the equation.
4) Congenital Disease-
of Yorkies dying due to congenital disease, this is the 4th leading cause of death for Yorkies 1 year old and older. This category includes all disease and conditions that are present at birth. Notably are liver shunts which the Yorkshire Terrier is prone to. This is also referred to as portosystemic shunt (PPS).
In the US, Yorkshire Terriers have a 36 time greater chance of developing liver shunts than all other purebred dogs put together.
With this sometimes fatal condition, there is not adequate blood flow to the dog's liver. There are varying degrees to which the blood vessel can be 'shunted'.
While puppies are born with this defect ,the dog may not show any signs until the
of 1 or a bit older. Symptoms include:
Poor growth rates
Excessive drooling
Increased thirst
Increased urination
Behavioral changes (Staring, methodically spinning in circles)
With many Yorkies, clinical signs appear 1 to 3 hours after eating a meal as toxins normally filtered by a healthy liver reach the dog's brain instead.
It is diagnosed via x-rays, dye studies, ultrasound and blood testing to check blood ammonia concentration.
Treatment for minor cases involved a change to the diet (low protein) and medications including neomycin, lactulose or metronidazole to help prevent the buildup of toxins that develop due to a malfunctioning liver. Unfortunately, while some dogs can live with this condition while being on non-invasive treatment options, life span is dramatically shortened.
Since this is such a threat to the life span of the Yorkshire Terrier, moderate to severe cases are treated with surgery. Over 50% of dogs that have shunts severe enough to cause clinical signs and changes to
will die in one year without this surgical procedure.
For larger breeds, the shunt is complete closed off; however with toy breeds - and in particular the Yorkie- a different method of partially closing the shunt or using constrictor rings that gradually close over a period of 5 weeks sees better results.
The survival rate after surgery is an impressive 95%. Afterward 33% of Yorkies will still have some blood flow issues though only approximately 15% will show clinical signs.
Extending the Life Expectancy of Your Yorkshire Terrier
There are many things that you can do to help your Yorkie live as long as possible. Care that you give from the day you bring home your puppy, through adulthood and into the senior years will have a great impact on your dog's health and his or her life span.
1) Vaccinations -
With infection being a top cause of death for Yorkie puppies and a concern for older dogs as well, keeping up with vaccinations is important. Puppies should not be taken outside beyond the boundaries of the home's property until 2 weeks after all puppy shots have been given. If other animals have access to the yard, the pup should be closely watched and not allowed to sniff at urine or feces of other pets or animals.
Speak to your vet regarding the possible need for the Leptospirosis if you live in a high risk area.
2) Preventing Trauma -
With trauma being such a huge reason for the death of so many Yorkshire Terriers (2nd leading cause for puppies and 3rd leading cause- 10.7%- for those over 1 year old) attention must be put on creating a safe environment for this breed.
- Everyone in the household and anyone who visits must be keenly aware that this is an 'under-the-foot' dog. Attention must be put on knowing that this little toy breed can quietly appear under your feet without warning. Household members must always look before walking, take care when walking in darkened rooms, look before taking a step backward and always look before sitting down.
When a Yorkie sleeps
, this should be in a safe, secure area so that if people wake up at night, in the dark, the dog cannot be under foot.
- Being dropped and receiving fatal injuries is such as sad death statistic, yet it happens to this breed quite often. This can happen if a child is not taught proper handling techniques or if an owner is trying to multi-task and the Yorkie wiggles out from her arms. A Yorkie can also be harmed by being swung around or bounced and slipping free from your hands. Great care must be taken to securely pick up and hold a Yorkie. When you are holding this dog all attention should be focused on this without any distractions.
- At no time when outside should a Yorkshire Terrier be off leash unless in a safe, enclosed yard. The biggest risk of being off leash is being hit by a car when running out into the street, as trauma via automobile impact is among the top causes of fatal trauma.
- Never leave your puppy or dog outside alone, even if the yard in enclosed, since this breed is
quite capable of digging
under a fence or finding a weak spot. Un-spayed female and intact males will have a tendency to escape more often than those that are fixed.
- Be careful when you or others open a door; an unsecure Yorkie can squeak right passed you and out onto the road in the blink of an eye. If your puppy or dog tends to run for the exit when the door opens, it can help to have a rule in placed that everyone will knock first - even if the door is unlocked - to allow someone to secure the dog to prevent him from darting out.
- Teach your Yorkshire Terrier all basic commands including "Sit" and "Come". If the dog is running into danger and one of these commands is shouted in an authoritative tone, it may just save his or her life.
3) Provide proper dental care.
When a tooth becomes infected and there is decay in the mouth, infection can travel into the body reaching the heart and/or brain. Dogs with decayed teeth suffer in pain which puts stress on the entire body and older, senior Yorkies with missing teeth have trouble eating. For all these reason,
proper cleaning of the teeth
is so important and can be a step that you can take to increase the life span of your Yorkshire Terrier.
A good 4 to 5 minute brushing each day along with once a year professional checkups can keep a Yorkie's teeth healthy and strong. Use a quality paste and supplement this with dental treats that promote good oral hygiene.
4) Spay/neuter -
For both
males and females
, while there is some conflicting studies, in general most vets agree that
spaying and neutering
does increase life span. Males that are neutered before the age of 6 months old live 20% longer than their unfixed counterparts. Females that are spayed before the age of 6 months old (it should be done before her first
heat cycle
) live 25% longer lives than their un-spayed counterparts.
When a female is correctly spayed, it eliminates the odds of developing ovarian cancer. This type of canine cancer is fatal in 50% of all cases. Spaying also reduces her risks of mammary cancer. With males, it eliminates the chances of having testicular cancer (when done before the 6 month mark) and decreases the odds of developing prostate cancer.
5) Keep your Yorkie on a healthy diet -
What your dog eats day after day, month after month and year after year has a huge impact on his/her overall
and therefore their lifespan. Only offer high quality commercial brands or home cooked food. Avoid brightly colored manufactured treats. Use a filtering device on your kitchen tap to avoid giving straight tap water to your puppy or dog and be sure that your dog is meeting
water requirements
to stay properly hydrated.
6) Be diligent about exercise-
In conjunction with a healthy diet, regular exercise throughout your Yorkie's life will help to extend his or her life expectancy. It keeps the heart healthy, keeps muscles toned and contributes to the emotional health of a dog.
Many owners find themselves doing well during the spring and summer; however
is cutback in the colder autumn and winter months. It is important to allow your Yorkie to receive the benefits of activity all year round. While you can take a day off during blizzard or sub-zero days, if you properly clothe your Yorkshire Terrier (and yourself so that you don't want to run right back inside) your dog will do just find in the cold and snow if kept to 20 minutes twice per day.
7) Do not delay Vet visits -
Many serious conditions have favorable prognosis if caught early. This is particularly relevant in regard to both liver shunts and cancer.
Be sure to budget for unexpected medical issues; it is such a shame when owners hesitate to bring their dog to the vet due to the financial burden of a visit. The expense would be factored into an owner's monthly budget. You may also want to consider pet insurance; though most do not cover congenital defects and pre-existing conditions.
Many plans do cover: infections, eye problems,
, stomach ailments, ulcers, arthritis,
skin problems
including skin cancer, bladder problems, nail issues, abrasions, thyroid conditions, kidney disease, tooth removal, trauma care, lung infections, diabetes and more.
The bottom line is if you have to wonder if your Yorkie needs to see a vet, chances are that he does. Catching problems early is important for successful recovery and receiving proper treatment can stop small issues from turning into larger, more serious issues that can be life threatening.
8) Accept the age of your dog.
Time slips by quickly and many owners do not want to admit that their Yorkie is becoming a senior and is in his or her last stage of life. However being keenly aware of this breed's typical life span and making changes to care as the Yorkie ages will aid in quality of life.
Older dogs should be given proper orthopedic beds for age related arthritis. Exercise and
may need to be adjusted. Supplements for the coat and more focused grooming techniques can help with problems of aging such as dry coat and skin. Seniors are often seen by the veterinarian twice per year as opposed to once for regular checkups.
Making a Decision Regarding an Ailing Yorkie
Sadly, the majority of dog owners will need to make an 'end of life' decision. Only roughly 25% of dogs die of natural causes peacefully during sleep. For the remaining 75% of dogs, owners will need to extremely difficult decision to allow their dog to be euthanized to end suffering.
In cases like this, it is not a matter of 'if' but of 'when'. This is such a personal matter that will undoubtedly weigh on the hearts of those who need decide if intervention is what is best for the dog. Many owners wonder at what point do you allow a dog to die and how do you know if a dog wants to be euthanized. These are difficult questions.
It is at times like this that one must look at the dog's quality of life. If a Yorkie is struggling to breath or is in near constant pain and all measures of treatment have been exhausted, it is usually in the best interest of the dog to allow him or her to escape to a better place. In many instances, owners must take on the pain of loss in order to give the gift of pain relief.

Return To The Valley Of The Super Shooters
"Return To The Valley Of the Super Shooters" sees The Young Punx and friends in nostalgic mood, lovingly harking back to the golden era of UK Jungle. With Memphis-rapper Count Bass D spitting in clear homage to Zinc's legendary "Super Sharp Shooter" (itself a lift from LL Cool J), and classic junglist beats to boot, the Young Punx Delorean is targeted firmly at 1995. But with a heavy lacing of post-dubstep basslines from Phonat dominating the low end, and a quirky collection of Theremins and Circuit-bent Stylophones tweaking over the top this is very much a 21st Century track, with a wry nod to music that inspired its creators back in the day.

One of my clients told me the other day that she can really only be herself around men that aren't available for a relationship like her best friend's husband or the married men she meets. She explained that when she doesn't try to impress a man she can relax without feeling like she needed to censor herself.
Have you felt like you had to edit yourself so that you could attract a date or keep your date's interest up? Do you tense up around you're hoping to impress your date?
A few ways I edited myself in the past include:
- Not saying what I really wanted to say.
- Dressing to please someone other than myself.
- Talking myself into doing things that I didn't want to do.
- Trying to see what he wanted, then becoming that.
In essence, I betrayed myself in order to please who I thought my date wanted me to be. Many times, I didn't want to do things he wanted to do yet I usually acquiesced and did them anyway only to feel the unease of not being true to myself.
Is this you?
The truth is that if you want to find a joyful, loving, committed relationship with someone that loves you just the way you are don't stop yourself from being the real you! As you become more comfortable being yourself, you'll find it easier to do things that you want to do in just the way you want to do them. You won't have to feel the pull to satisfy another person. You won't fear judgment.
When you are genuine you'll become more attractive to the partner that will be your best match!
Conclusion: Committing to being true to yourself and authentic can dramatically increase the quality of your life and your relationships. If you'd like to find out more about cultivating authenticity, I can help! You can reach me at 512-922-4822 or email me: email@example.com.

I am installing Oracle 9.2 in my Windows 2000 server, in the later step on the installation, it prompt me for sys and system password, I input, and the installation has been finished successfully. After that, I enter sqlplus by typing "sqlplus /nolog", then login as sys by typing "connect sys/<password> as sysdba", I found that whatever what password I input, it allows me to login.

Since you are a member of the "dba" group, Oracle does not require any password from you.You can lead some folks to knowledge, but you can not make them think.
The average person thinks he's above average!
For most folks, they don't know, what they don't know.
Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.

Closer than you think
While a global standard is yet to be defined, South Korea has already announced a 5G trial network for the Winter Olympic Games in 2018. From 2G to 4G, cellular wireless technologies have been evolving towards offering more speed, and each standard has been tagged with a handful of major attributes.
5G will embrace a significant leap forward in terms of performance targets, as it needs to offer new possibilities to connect not only people, but also objects such as cars, wearables, home appliances and industrial machines. In order to meet these targets, 5G technology will embrace end-to-end connections not just the radio access part.
Real breakthrough will come from the target to reach sub 1ms latency, enabling applications such as the autonomous vehicle, tactile Internet and real-time remote control. This will move the Internet from the broadcast dominance to real-time steering and control of industrial applications.
Our viewpoint explores the immediate implications for current mobile networks and operators as well as impacts on business models for the players in the value chain.

Investors Drive Up Shares Of Big Mexican Contractor
MEXICO CITY -- Like many Mexican companies, Grupo Tribasa SA had an admirable goal two years ago: increase foreign revenue, perhaps even achieve a 50-50 mix between Mexican and international sales.
Unhappily, Tribasa has since realized its hoped-for sales mix -- mostly because its domestic business collapsed after Mexico's 1994 peso devaluation.
But lately, things have been looking up for Mexico's second-largest construction...

Andrzej Szczypiorski is a Polish novelist and playwright who uses wit, melancholy and a rare understanding of human nature to portray the political and social realities of Eastern Europe over the last turbulent fifty years. He calls on his own experience as a fighter in the Polish Resistance, a participant in the Warsaw uprising of 1944, and a German prisoner of war in his novel The Beautiful Mrs. Seidenman. He combines rich character studies with historical accuracy to create a poignant look at life under Nazi rule. Self-Portrait with Woman moves the clock up several decades to look at the malaise of post-communist Poland. Once again, history's effect on individuals creates a bittersweet picture by a master storyteller. Andrzej Szczypiorski's work has been compared to that of Milan Kundera. He stands with Kundera as one of the most important writers of Eastern Europe.

Sunderland striker to leave
By Adam Marshall
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The Black Cats missed out on Blackburn Rovers new boy Jon Stead but McCarthy is bidding to use Proctor as bait in an attempt to secure the services of a new forward.
Swindon Town hot-shot Sam Parkin and Burnley's Robbie Blake have been linked with moves to The Stadium of Light but the identity of the Wearsiders' new target has not been confirmed.
"Michael could be on his way in a player-exchange," stated McCarthy. "His contract is up at the end of the year and he's been here a long, long time.
"It's not happened for him. Certainly this year, he's been fourth in the pecking order and I just think it's needed to change it around and freshen things up for me to have a fresh face in, but for Michael to get himself a deal.
"His contract is up and I think he'd like to be sorted for the next couple of years, for this season and another two, and I think he deserves that.
"If we can help him do that now and not wait until the end of the season, better still."
McCarthy is still smarting after losing out on Stead, but maintains an interest in new Leeds United loan signing Steven Caldwell.
"Whatever the reasons, I fully expected him (Stead) to come but it didn't work out," the Sunderland boss explained. "So we move on.
"I like Steve Caldwell, absolutely. As a player I think he's got a lot to offer and a lot to offer us if the circumstances are right and we can do it at the end of the season.
"I'd like to sign him for next season but we'll see what happens."
The Newcastle United stopper is out of contract in the summer and is settled in the North East so a move to Wearside will appeal if he does not do enough to convince Leeds to offer him a permanent deal.

"Father" Pledger was named James Pledger.He was born 21 Jan 1788, in Granville Co., NC. He died Sept 4, 1866 in Yell Co., AR. James and Mary Ford Pledger were the parents of nine children. In my notes I have that he was referred to as "Father" Pledger by his grandchildren. I show that James was the son of Thomas Pledger, Sr and Nancy Ann Leavister.I hope this will proove helpful.

It didn't take long for the Stranger Things to become a global phenomenon. And, when considering the talents of the cast and crew, it's really no surprise that did happen.
Mere days following its premiere on Netflix, fans were eagerly questioning whether there would be a followup season. Just a couple of weeks after the requests started pouring in, showrunners Matt and Ross Duffer announced that Season 2 of Stranger Things would make its way to the streaming platform sometime in 2017.
Though Stranger Things Season 2 likely won't be reaching audiences for a good long, the excitement is already ramping up with every additional quote, comment or announcement regarding the series. Today, The Hollywood Reporter announced the Duffer Brothers' casting choices for two of three new characters set to join the series.
In September, TV Line released the names and character descriptions for the roles, but now it's finally time to meat the newest residents of Hawkins, Indiana: Max and Billy.
Sadie Sink will be playing Max, described as a 12 to 14 year old girl who doesn't subscribe to typical 1980s gender stereotypes and is classified as "tough and confident." Sink has performed on Broadway in the Annie revival and alongside Helen Mirren in The Audience.
As for on camera work, she has appeared in guest roles in The Americans and The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and played Suzanne Ballard in the series American Oddessy. As the first episode title for Season 2 is "Madmax," I think it's safe to say she'll become a mainstay in Mike's main group of friends.
Playing Max's hyper-confident, muscular, Camero-driving older brother Billy is Dacre Montgomery. Twenty-one-year-old Montgomery may only have a few acting credits to his name, but 2017 is shaping up to be his breakout year. In addition to landing the role of Billy, he will also be playing Jason Lee Scott, the Red Ranger, in Lionsgate's Power Rangers reboot.
There's still no word on the casting for the third new character, Roman, but given the Duffer Brothers' penchant for sharing exciting news with their fans, I'm sure we'll hear more soon.
The good news and celebratory high-fives can also be shared with returning cast members Joe Keery (playing Steven Harrington) and Noah Schnapp (as Will Beyers), both of who were promoted from recurring characters to series regulars.
Keep up-to-date with everything going on in the Upside Down with these Stranger Things articles:
- Stranger Things Facts & Theories: Everything We Know About Season 2 On Netflix
- Stranger Things Season 2 Episodes Explained - What Do The 9 Titles Reveal?
- Stranger Things Creators Talk Fan Theories, Netflix And What To Expect In Season 2
It's been all but confirmed that other cast members we can expect to see return include Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson) and Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair). And if Will and Mike are back, chances are their families, Winona Ryder (Joyce Beyers), Charlie Heaton (Jonathan Beyers) and Natalia Dyer (Nancy Wheeler), will also be along for the ride.
Currently we don't know whether breakout star Mille Bobby Brown (Eleven) will be coming back from the Upside Down, but in an interview with Lorraine in the UK, she sounded assured that either way, Season 2 will not disappoint.
"I'm not sure if I'm going to be in [season two] but it's fantastic, has great writers and directors ... it will be good."
Unfortunately, there is one fan-favorite character we know won't be returning. During his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, David Harbour, who plays Chief Jim Hopper, said that poor Barb is most certainly dead.
"And the internet rage at Chief Hopper over not caring about Barb, I'm sorry. I have a little boy I have to save!"I can assure you, if you think Barb is coming back, she's fully dead".
Sorry, Barb.
There is no confirmed release date for Stranger Thing Season 2, but we do know it will be available for streaming sometime in 2017.
Which Stranger Things character is your favorite?

One thing we know for sure about the annual HIMSS conference: It can be overwhelming. And this year it seems like there are more hot topics to track than ever before, from the shifting political and regulatory landscape to mounting privacy and security threats to an ever-increasing mandate to cut costs and improve care to an explosion of new and emerging technologies. It might seem counterintuitive, but 2017 might be the year to pick a topic and drill down—at least for a day or two.
To that end, we've rounded up some of the one- and two-day programs at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society annual gathering in Orlando, Florida, next week. Note that all require separate registration and a fee.
Cybersecurity Forum
Sunday, February 19, 2017, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Regency Ballroom Q
Increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks have the IT industry on edge. The forum will share "lessons learned, current challenges and the road ahead in the cybersecurity journey," notes the session description, which also promises practical information to help healthcare organizations gauge and improve their security postures. Daniel Nigrin, M.D., a senior VP and CIO at Boston Children's hospital, will detail how his organization survived an attack by the "hacktivist" group Anonymous. Another session will cover the National Medical Device ISAO Initiative and explain how it will contribute to scientifically robust data to inform regulatory policy.
Cloud Computing Forum
Sunday, February 19, 2017, 8:00 a.m. to 4:35 p.m.
Plaza International DEF Ballroom
This daylong event is dedicated to managing the infrastructure required for successfully deploying cloud platforms supporting a healthcare enterprise. The lineup of speakers includes Todd Dunn, director of innovation in Information Systems for Intermountain Healthcare, who will discuss harnessing and managing innovation. Preregistration and a separate fee required. Here's the full schedule.
HX360 Innovation Leaders Program
Monday, February 20, 2017, 10:30 a.m. through Tuesday, February 21, 5:00 p.m.
414B, Level IV, West Concourse
This two-day program hits many of the hot trends in healthcare for providers, payers, employers, entrepreneurs, investors and other companies. Tech innovation "can drive health outcomes, improve [efficiency and] reduce costs by creating opportunities for health engagement and data sharing across the home, healthcare and workplace settings," the session description notes. Sessions will explore "how health technology supports the shift to value-based reimbursement, population health, prevention and wellness in healthcare and workforce populations." Well-known organizations on the docket include Walmart, BCBS Massachusetts, Harvard, Partners Healthcare and Texas Medical Center.
Rockstars of Blockchain
February 22, 2017, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
414B, Level IV, West Concourse
Blockchain is emerging as a promising way to bridge traditional data silos while keeping data more secure. This daylong event brings together experts from hospitals, health insurance companies and vendors for a deep dive into the blockchain opportunities. Speakers include Jon White, deputy national coordinator for health IT, Steven Posnack, director of the Office of Standards and Technology, and John Mattison, M.D., CMIO at Kaiser Permanente.

Practical or not? You decide. This is Honda's U3-X, its new personal mobility technology. It's still at the experimental stage and Honda is continuing research and development of the device.
Honda will also be testing the device in the real-world to verify its practicality. Basically, it is a compact device that fits comfortably between the rider's legs, to provide free movement in all directions just as in human walking forward, backward, side-to-side, and diagonally.
The device makes it possible to adjust speed and move, turn and stop in all directions when the rider leans the upper body to shift body weight.
Honda achieved this by applying advanced technologies including Honda's balance control technology, which was developed through the robotics research of ASIMO, Honda's bipedal humanoid robot.
Also contributing to the technology is the world's first omni-directional driving wheel system (Honda Omni Traction Drive System, or HOT Drive System), which enables movement in all directions, including not only forward and backward, but also directly to the right and left and diagonally.
Not only is the personal mobility device friendly to the user, its design also had the people around it to consider. It is compact and it is a one-wheel-drive and it is designed to make it easier for the rider to reach the ground from the footrest and placing the rider on about the same eye level as other people or pedestrians

Cow, cow, cow….. stingray?! When everyone else is pulling out their boring leather wallet, only those in-the-know will be able to identify the unique texture of one of Tom Barrington's signature designs.
Tom Barrington began leatherworking during his time in the US Navy but only turned his love of creating his own leather goods into a business in 2011. At only 3 years old, his Los Angeles-based company produces an assortment of goods from key rings to belts and bracelets with his self-designed stingray leather wallets consistently being one of the top sellers. Tom Barrington has a special focus on exotic leather designs after learning from his own experiences as a consumer and strives to blend style, quality, and color into a world dominated by shades of brown and black.
First the technical. This particular Stingray Wallet is the bi-fold with ID holder and 9 slot design. The wallet is manufactured through small boutique studios around the world which focus on hand constructing fewer quality products instead of mass-production. Made of genuine Dasyatis Pastinaca stingray originating from South East Asia, Australia and sometimes New Zealand, it measures 4 1/4″ x 3 5/8″ x 1/2″ with 2 cash compartments and 2 additional hidden pockets below the credit card slots. The outer stingray leather is chrome-tanned and then spray-dyed to coat the natural calcium beads of the skin which do not readily absorb dye like cowhide does. Whereas many stingray wallets have a painted white "eye" over the sanded tubercles of the skin, Tom Barrington chooses to leave the tubercles unpainted to accent the natural texture of the leather. He additionally uses a proprietary technique which allows him to create a small stitching channel directly through the calcium beads to avoid using traditional turned edge construction where leather is wrapped around the edges of the calcium beads and having to grind off the edge of calcium beads to make stitching easier. Machine stitching is employed instead of glue with additional stitch rows placed in the high-use areas such as the gusset and cash compartment for additional strength. The interior is a buttery Napa chrome-tanned cowhide.
The 9-slot wallet is a basic design for maximum utility. For those wanting a smaller build, there are other options available on store website. Some may complain about the stiffness or roughness of the leather, but that is the nature of the beast…literally. What are your hard bones and teeth made of? Calcium. So with hundreds of polished calcium beads creating the unique look of stingray leather, the leather is expectedly tough and sturdy. If you nuzzle it against your face, you won't get that soft calfskin feel of other wallets, but you will get a nice micro-bead exfoliation – two products in one! One downside of the calcium is its inability to hold dyes so long-term wear and tear will eventually rub some color away. The upside is that it doesn't hold conditioners either so maintenance for this wallet is low.
Now for the fun stuff. This wallet is all about the look. Keep the wallet closed and the subtle texture of the leather might make people do a double-take. Then when you open the wallet, BAM! The flash of color (other colors are available) will definitely grab someone's attention. Unfortunately, it may also draw attention to how much (or in my case, how little) money you actually carry. Tom Barrington is not afraid of color and the contrasting cobalt blue is just enough to keep this wallet looking luxurious and professional, yet stylish. The absence of a painted white "eye" also keeps the wallet looking classy and clean.
The Tom Barrington Stingray Wallet is a worthy exotic addition to anyone's wallet collection. You may be able to find similar stingray wallets for a lower price online, but the extra touches of the unique edge stitching technique and natural tubercle grain on these wallets really give that extra polish and finish to set them apart. For those who want it quick, the wallets are fulfilled by Amazon and are eligible for Amazon Prime Free Two-Day Shipping.

Writing a Thesis for
an Analytical Paper http://www.healthyeastleigh.org.uk/images/writing.JPG What is an Analysis Paper? Analysis involves Interpretation.
It is a way of figuring out
a literary work
a film
a social event or situation
a natural event or disaster
a piece of art or cultural artifact This is NOT... a plot summary* * It must answer more than just the question,
"What happened?" Instead, your magic word is going to be... How? Maimon, Peritz, and Yancey write that an analysis paper
"examines or compares particular items for a reason: to enhance
your readers' understanding of people's conditions, actions,
beliefs, or desires" (118). http://www.magicbob2000.com/resources/Hocus%20plate%20small0003_edited-5.jpg How does my paper "enhance" the way my readers understand the topic I'm discussing?
What does it do for them that they would not otherwise get if they had experienced the subject themselves? Intellectual Framework Rhetorical Stance Audience Purpose Enhance a reader's understanding by comparing like subjects, contrasting different ones, interpreting data, explaining patterns, and suggesting reasons why readers or viewers ascribe meanings to certain subjects. While it is possible that readers or viewers will have some knowledge of the subject matter, one can never assume that this is the case. Write to an unknown audience. Explain your points as though your audience has no prior knowledge of the subject matter. Situate yourself amongst your experts, when you have them. Present what your experts have to say but always maintain your own voice. Whenever THEY say something, YOU need to say something in return, whether in agreement or disagreement. What is guiding your analysis? Are you the only authority? If so, where are you getting your information? If not, who is the authority on the matter? Who can help to provide you with a path for your analysis? Your Thesis Statement Janet E. Gardner writes that the purpose of the academic paper is "to explain, defend, and ultimately prove the thesis for your paper" (18). Gardner, Janet E. Writing about Literature: A Portable Guide. 2nd ed.
Boston: Bedford, 2010. Print. Explain? Defend? Prove? How do your main points uncover, explore, analyze, or contextualize your subject matter?
How do you main points "enhance" a reader's/viewer's understanding of the subject matter? Does your paper justify itself?
Does it have an intellectual background from which to make its points or build its ethos? Are your main points proveable? If not, you may not have an analytical paper. Class Activity Watch a short YouTube film together.
Pay attention to HOW the film tells its story.
Discuss some possibilities for writing an analytical essay about the film.
Create a sample thesis statement together.
If it's creepy, tell me how.
If it's dark, tell me how.
When it represents death or insanity, how does it do so? Edgar Allan Poe, "Berenice"
Egaeus - noble recluse, obsessed with cousin and her teeth
Berenice - beautiful cousin, becomes ill, dies
Conclusion - Egaeus exhumes his cousin removes all of her teeth, but she's alive Papers I Might Have Written 1. How this film compares with de la Torre's other films.
2. How this film is different from Poe's short story and what kind of difference that makes in how a reader/viewer perceives the work.
3. How de la Torre's film links Berenice to the supernatural and demonic. The Paper I've Decided
to Write I was disturbed by the way the film represented insanity, love, and death. What's missing from my analysis? Is this my thesis statement? I was disturbed by the way the film represented insanity, love, and death. Who represents insanity, love, and death in the film? In the short film "Berenice," Golan de la Torre... How does de la Torre represent insanity? Love? Death? In the short film "Berenice,"
Golan de la Torre... Insanity - How?
Love - How?
Death - How? Maimon, Elaine P., Janice H. Peritz, and Kathleen Blake Yancey. A Writer's Resource: A
Handbook for Writing and Research. 3rd ed. Boston: McGraw Hill, 2010. Print. What last night's reading had to say... 1. Summarize the material. (Tell what happened.)
2. What questions do you have after viewing the film? If you made other people watch this film, what sorts of questions would they ask?
3. Compare or contrast the subject to another.
4. What type of analysis are you doing? What types of things are common to that sort of analysis?
5. Focus on one or two items that interest you. These may include character, structure, setting, etc. I was disturbed by the way the film represented insanity, love, and death. More of what our reading suggests... CONTEXT ISSUE OR PROBLEM SPECIFIC FOCUS What background information do we need to provide? Did I have questions or problems while viewing the film? Did a couple of items stand out for me? CONTEXT: SPECIFIC FOCUS: Did I see or have any specific issue or problem with the film? ISSUE OR PROBLEM: ...may be jarring for some viewers...
...may be offensive to some viewers...
...is a supernatural rendering...
...keeps viewers both interested and creeped out... Tonight's Homework:
Your Own Example Golan de la Torre depicts the young woman in his short film "Berenice" as a supernatural and demonic temptress figure who wields an unseen power over her lover, despite the fact that the film portrays him as being obsessed and insane. In "Berenice," Golan de la Torre paints a picture of an insane man obsessed by books and a young woman, whom he thinks he loves. Though the young woman dies, the man's obsession is not over. De la Torre combines scenes emphasizing the man's obsession, a grotesque representation of love exchanged, and a crime committed after a death to demonstrate that obsession can be selfish, brutal, and fatal. What sort of intellectual framework might this paper require? What sorts of things will this writer have to prove? Golan de la Torre's "Berenice" combines a soundtrack of classical violins with jarring crashes, deep chants, and simulated screams to create a suspenseful environment, suggest darker motives, and illustrate confusion. These sound techniques contribute to how the viewer will interpret the characters and the story. Where is our how question being answered here? Context
Issue or Problem
Specific Focus
Remember to focus on the "how."
