Lambert News
5:15 p.m. update:
Ameren Missouri restored full power to Terminal 1 approximately 5 p.m. today. A blown transformer caused a power outage at 11:15 affecting airlines and airport operations in Terminal 1 and Concourses A & C.
Emergency power was utilized immediately for health, safety and critical building operations. However, the outage caused issues with baggage delivery systems, airline computer stations and some gate operations. Approximately 10 flights were cancelled because of the outage. Many more flights were delayed. Airlines were able to process ticketing and handle some gate operations, but experienced delays during the outage. The TSA performed manual baggage checks as well during the outage. The Airport and concessionaires handed out bottle water and snack to passengers throughout the afternoon.
While power is restored, there are still some systems that will take longer to reset. Operations should be back to normal after 6 p.m. tonight.
The Airport will work with Ameren in the coming days to determine what may have caused the outage.
Terminal 1 airlines continue to work through issues related to a blown transformer that created a loss of full power for Terminal 1 at approximately 11:15 a.m. Sunday.
Backup generators are currently providing power to health, safety and critical building systems for Terminal 1 and Concourse A & C. Airlines are still able to operate but their ticketing, gate and baggage delivery systems are impacted. There are delays and longer than normal waits for check-in for airlines in Terminal 1. Passengers flying out Sunday afternoon should arrive earlier than normal if they have confirmed their flight status with their airline.
Concessions and other services are also impacted by the power outage.
Airport crews and Ameren immediately responded to the outage and are working to restore full power later today.
This power outage does not affect Terminal 2 or Southwest Airlines.
Works by Prominent Architectural Photographer Ken Konchel on Display in Terminal 1
"St. Louis architecture forms the physical environment of our lives. It connects us to the past, it helps define our relationships to one another, and it gives us a sense of place and identity," said Konchel. "Most importantly, St. Louis architecture enhances our creative legacy. Yet something so integral to the sense of who we are - something that contributes immeasurably to our quality of life - is often dismissed as mundane, taken for granted, or at worst ignored."
Konchel hopes to raise awareness and appreciation for St. Louis architecture by presenting it as engaging, dynamic geometric arrangements. He describes his style as interactions that remove the context and distill architecture to minimalist relationships of shape, line, pattern, detail and/or texture.
His six images capture the beauty and subtleties of the West Campus Building of Washington University (formerly a Famous-Barr Department Store), St. Mark's United Methodist Church, the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, the Priory Chapel, the former American Zinc, Lead and Smelting Company building, and the First Church of Christ, Scientist. The large, backlit glass display windows allow admirers to view the works up-close and in detailed clarity.
The exhibit runs through May 2017, and can be viewed in Terminal 1 on the lower-level, along the passageways to and from baggage claim.
Ken Konchel's exhibition is supported by the Lambert Art & Culture Program, which is dedicated to promoting local cultural works and institutions to area residents and St. Louis visitors. The Lambert Art & Culture Program is led by the seven-member Airport Art Advisory Committee. Current members are Shelley Hagan, Wells Fargo Curator Corporate Art; Laura Helling, Director of Development for Wings of Hope; Marilu Knode, Director of Laumeier Sculpture Park; Leslie Markle, Curator of Public Art, Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum; Kiku Obata, Founding Principal of Kiku Obata & Co.; Roseann Weiss, Director of Community and Public Arts for the St. Louis Regional Arts Commission; and Freida L. Wheaton, Salon 53 and Founder of Alliance of Black Art Galleries.
Lambert-St. Louis International Airport is expecting continued strong growth in passenger demand as the peak summer travel season kicks off with the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Lambert is on a 10 percent growth trend for 2016 in passenger enplanements.
Lambert's airlines are responding to the strong increase in passenger activity with the introduction of more destinations, more seats and some upgrades in aircraft to certain cities through the summer.
Additional flights and bigger aircraft this summer account for 2,000 more available seats per day, which is an eight percent increase year over year. Lambert will have 255 daily departures from St. Louis beginning in June. That's an increase of seven flights per day versus last year.
This year, Lambert will hit peak service to 70 non-stop destinations. That includes new non-stop service from St. Louis to Oakland, CA (OAK) on Southwest Airlines beginning June 5. Southwest will also begin serving Cleveland, OH (CLE) and Portland, OR (PDX) that same day for a total of 103 daily flights this summer to 43 destinations. In addition to its new destinations beginning this June, Southwest has added six other non-stop destinations since the start of summer of 2015: Austin, TX (AUS); Orange County, CA (SNA); Little Rock, AR (LIT); Pittsburgh, PA (PIT); Des Moines, IA (DSM) and Wichita, KS (ICT). Connecting passenger activity is on an 18 percent growth trend in 2016 with 92 percent of connecting passengers on Southwest.
Other destination additions since a year ago includes Alaska Airlines' service to Portland, OR (PDX). This summer, Alaska will be expanding its second daily flight to Seattle, WA (SEA) to 7-days a week. Frontier Airlines also added three flights/week to Atlanta, GA (ATL) this spring. American Airlines has added an additional daily flight to Los Angeles, CA (LAX) this summer. Many airlines have increased capacity to some of the key cities in their networks.
The top increases in seat capacity from St. Louis versus the summer of 2015 include Denver, CO (Den)-Frontier Airlines, Southwest, United Airlines; Oklahoma City, OK (OKC)-Southwest; Austin, TX (AUS)-Southwest; Tulsa, OK (TUL)- Southwest; Los Angeles (LAX)-American, Southwest; Atlanta (ATL)- Delta, Frontier, Southwest; and Orlando, FL (MCO) Frontier, Southwest.
Even with additional seat capacity, many airlines are forecasting heavy passenger load factors, especially this upcoming Memorial Day Weekend. The airline industry is projecting a record level of airline travel this summer of 2.5 million passengers per day, an increase of 95,000 or 4 percent.
Most airlines recommend passengers arrive a minimum of 90 minutes before domestic departures; two hours before international departures. Wait times for check-in and security will vary by airport, by checkpoint and by time of the day. Infrequent travelers, travelers with young children or passengers with large amounts of luggage may want to allow for more time to get through ticketing and checkpoints during the summer travel season.

Lambert-St. Louis International Airport is beginning a bridge restoration project that will impact a majority of drivers traveling to and from the Airport beginning this week. Starting May 5, construction begins to repair the Lambert International Boulevard (LIB) Bridge over Air Flight Drive, which is one of the major entrances to the Airport, directly south of Terminal 1. LIB is also the main roadway between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
In the first phase lasting approximately one month, all LIB traffic approaching the bridge will be routed to the north lanes while crews begin repairs to the south side of the bridge. The single lanes of traffic and temporary stop signs in place for the project will cause additional congestion on this roadway, especially at peak travel times. Drivers should plan on adding extra time when travelling to or from the airport during this construction.
The bridge repairs will continue in various phases through late fall of 2016. The bridge is in need of rehabilitation and maintenance due to its age. The structure was built in the 1960's. Crews will be replacing bridge bearings, patching concrete, resurfacing the bridge deck and resurfacing the approaching sections of the roadway that connect to the bridge.
Budweiser Clydesdale, Live Music, Mascots and More Planned for May 2 -5, 2016
Starting in May, travelers will see a whole new happy face greeting them at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport (STL). Lambert is celebrating their customer appreciation week in conjunction with National Tourism Week, May 1-7. The airport, which serves 13 million travelers a year, is unveiling a fun and friendly new campaign to celebrate St. Louis and thank its many travelers. The name comes with a built-in social media hashtag, #STLthanksYOU, and features a cute new character that can be seen throughout the terminals. Passengers can even take a selfie with the little guy as part of a new interactive display window in the Terminal 1 baggage claim (pictured).
"The airport is often visitors' first or only impression of our city," said Airport Director Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge. "With the 10 percent rise in passenger traffic we've seen so far this year, it's important to remind our passengers of how appreciated they are, and it's great to be able to do it in such a fun way."
The #STLthanksYOU campaign will be promoted throughout the month of May. However, the main celebration comes during the first week with a variety of activities and entertainment scheduled for travelers.

New Flights and Gates Added to Accommodate Growing Passenger Numbers
Lambert-St. Louis International Airport started strong in 2016 with a leap in passenger traffic ten percent higher than last year. In the first three months of 2016, the Airport served a total of 3,077,178 passengers (arriving and departing), as compared to 2,796,694 in the first quarter of 2015. February saw a dramatic 15.3 percent jump over last year's numbers with 960,003 total passengers. January was up 9.8 percent (966,831 vs 880,250) and March improved 6.2 percent (1,150,344 vs 1,083,502). Total aircraft departures were up 4.3 percent, of which cargo departures increased 6.9 percent.
"We work closely with our airlines to meet growing demand for new service, and the public is responding," said Airport Director Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge. "This is exciting news for our region, and we expect this passenger growth to continue with more new flights coming this summer."
Lambert's passenger numbers are projected to climb as the second quarter began with eight daily departures added by Southwest Airlines across six destinations. STL gained two new markets with twice-daily flights each to Des Moines, IA (DES) and Wichita, KS (ICT). The airline also added Pittsburgh, PA (PIT), second daily flights to Tulsa, OK (TUL) and Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN (MSP), and previously seasonal service to Seattle, WA (SEA) is now year-round.
Lambert Airport will soon have a second option for travelers to reach the San Francisco Bay area with Southwest Airlines' daily nonstop service to Oakland, CA (OAK) beginning June 5. Oakland is a new destination for the St. Louis region. Southwest is also adding nonstop service to Cleveland, OH (CLE) and Portland, OR (PDX) that same day. With the addition of this new service, Southwest will operate over 100 flights a day out of STL.
Southwest Airlines, which operates exclusively out of Terminal 2, expanded its terminal operations this month with the addition of two new gates, E31 and E33. The airline has installed two new jetways, new carpeting, new podiums and new counters at its new gates in advance of the new service. Improvements to the western gates of the terminal (E29-E33) also included refreshed finishes in the main corridor and restrooms, along with new retail and food kiosks to accommodate the growth in passengers to that area of the terminal.
A side-by-side comparison of Lambert's C16 gate area from the day after the tornado strike, and today.
Five years ago, at approximately 8:10 p.m. on April 22, Lambert-St. Louis International Airport's Terminal 1 suffered a direct strike from an F4 tornado. One of the most influential and iconic locations in aviation history was a disaster scene. This had never happened before to any major airport. Millions of dollars in damage was done to the airport facility, roadways, vehicles, and airlines. Yet in just 24 hours, the airport was operational again. This happened because of incredible emergency response and community support. Less than one year later, Concourse C was repaired. Interior upgrades that were planned before the tornado were also completed during that time. The result was a major transformation that tells an incredible story of change, progress, and a glimpse of what the future holds. See more at www.LambertExperience.com
Footsteps on the American Frontier: Daniel Boone and Westward Expansion Opens at The Lambert Gallery
Lambert-St. Louis International Airport is proud to introduce its latest exhibition at The Lambert Gallery with the opening of Footsteps on the American Frontier: Daniel Boone and Westward Expansion, curated by Lindenwood University and the Historic Daniel Boone Home & Heritage Center.
This exhibition examines one of America's early frontiersmen, Daniel Boone, focusing on Boone's life and his contributions toward the opening of America's early frontier. Lambert is the perfect venue for this exhibition as St. Louis is considered by many as the "gateway to the west." The exhibition is part of the Lambert Art & Culture Program, which is dedicated to promoting local cultural works and institutions to area residents and St. Louis visitors. The Lambert Gallery, located in Terminal 1 Bag Claim near the exit of the C Concourse, features temporary exhibitions by artists and cultural institutions from St. Louis and across the region.
Among the items to be displayed in the Boone exhibition are antique surveying equipment, portraits, maps, and Boone family heirlooms. The exhibition weave's a story of discovery with not only artifacts, but paintings including one showing Boone escorting settlers through the Cumberland Gap (by George Caleb Bingham) and another where Boone rescued his daughter and other girls from several Shawnee and Cherokee tribesmen when he lived in Kentucky.
All items on display belong to the educational and historical collections at the Historic Daniel Boone Home & Heritage Center, which is owned and operated by Lindenwood University. The University has owned the Historic Daniel Boone Home & Heritage since 1998. The Historic Daniel Boone Home & Heritage Center is the home in which the famous frontiersman passed away. For a fee, the home offers interpretative guided tours of the site. Visitors may also choose to self-guide the property. Hands-on school programs are available for elementary- to college-level classes. The site hosts four major special events and several smaller programs throughout the year. For more information, please call 636-798-2005 or visit www.danielboonehome.com
Lambert's Airport Arts Advisory Committee (AAAC) selected the Historic Daniel Boone Home & Heritage Center for exhibition with program support from the Regional Arts Commission. Current members of the AAAC are Shelley Hagan, Wells Fargo Curator Corporate Art; Laura Helling, Director of Development for Wings of Hope; Marilu Knode, Director of Laumeier Sculpture Park; Leslie Markle, Curator of Public Art, Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum; Kiku Obata, Founding Principal of Kiku Obata & Co.; Roseann Weiss, Director of Community and Public Arts for the St. Louis Regional Arts Commission; and Freida L. Wheaton, Salon 53 and Founder of Alliance of Black Art Galleries.
St. Louis International Airport is proud to display the work of three emerging St. Louis artists who were chosen to exhibit for the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis' (CAM) Great Rivers Biennial. The works of Lyndon Barrois Jr., Nanette Boileau and Tate Foley can now be seen in Terminal 2 in advance of the Great Rivers Biennial exhibition, on view from May 6 through August 14, 2016 at CAM.
The Great Rivers Biennial Arts Awards Program, a collaborative initiative between CAM and the Gateway Foundation, identifies artists working in the St. Louis metropolitan area, providing them with a $20,000 honorarium and a major exhibition at CAM. Barrois, Jr., Boileau and Foley were chosen by a panel of distinguished jurors from more than 80 submissions.
Featuring artwork that is distinct from the work on view at the museum but reflective of the artists' practices and concerns, the airport exhibition will run through September 6, 2016.
Consisting of enlarged and modified graphics from Konica Minolta printing supply packaging, Lyndon Barrois Jr.'s (b. 1983, New Orleans) KMUltra draws a parallel between the widespread influence of print media and the controversial 1950s experiments known as MKUltra. The artist produced a series of eight images using laser printer toner pigments on linen canvas. The exhibit is located near Lambert's gate E12.
Sea of Hot Pink Buffalo by Nanette Boileau (b. 1965, Seattle) observes a herd of American bison grazing in Custer State Park in South Dakota. The video, toned in a hue of pink, show's an acute understanding of rural agriculture's drive towards modernization and demystifies the "Wild West" by weaving together personal narratives of the western landscape. The exhibit is adjacent to the Tech on the Go store, near gate E18.
Tate Foley's (b. 1985, Millerton, Pennsylvania) Post No Bills is an installation of prints that reframes the language of protest. Created with a Risograph, each print reveals potent multi-syllable words, altered into their phonetic components: "volatile" becomes "VAH-LIHH-TULL," for example. Through the deconstruction of language, Foley dismantles systems of power, allowing viewers to interrogate the impact of prescribed definitions and construct their own nuanced meanings. Foley's exhibition is located adjacent to the Discover St. Louis store, near gate E18.
Avoid parking fees the next time you pick up a passenger. Lambert provides free waiting zones for motorists near each terminal.

did anyone else see this? What do you think?
What about the AAP's recommendation to rearface until at least 2 years old? Why does that opinion count and this one not?
I don't RF my kids just because the AAP suggests it. I would RF my kids until they were 18 if it would work, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that it's safer that way.
Before I make a decision I do my own research, I don't trust a board of stuffy old men in suits who will do anything to make a quick buck. Definitely not.

October is one of my favorite months. The leaves are changing color, the temperatures are dropping and the air is fresh and crisp first thing in the morning. It's also the time of the year that I get to breed the pigs, and start the process of fair pigs once again.
Some may call it odd, but animal reproduction and genetics has always fascinated me. Each year, I sit down before breeding season and look at my females, and then look for a male that will be compatible.
I look for a boar that is going to help me produce better show animals each and every year. The trends in pigs can change very quickly, and if you don't keep up, your pigs will not compete as well at fair.
The breeding process starts more than a month before I actually breed the pigs. They require pre-breeding vaccinations, which helps the sows to stay healthy, and boosts the immunities they pass through colostrum. The next step is to put the sows on a progesterone supplement for 14 days, which mimics what is called the luteal phase of the estrus cycle. It prevents them from coming back into heat, and allows me to synchronize all of the sows together.
This is important for breeding, because pigs are bred with fresh, not frozen semen. This is done because the freezing process can kill sperm cells, and with pigs you have large litters, not singles, like in cattle.
It also allows me to order the semen very close to when I know the sows will be in heat, which helps them have the best conception they can have. The other advantage is that all of the sows will be bred around the same time, which means they will farrow at the same time and all the babies are about the same age at fair.
This year I decided to cut back to just four sows, and the four that I think will help me to move my program forward. The first sow that I bred was my purebred Hampshire named Lindsay.
I have been very impressed with the pigs she has produced so far, and kept with breeding her back to a purebred Hampshire boar. She has been a pretty easy breeder for me, and this year was no exception.
The second sow I decided to breed is a daughter out of Shanae, the sow that I lost this summer. She is considered an Exotic, which is a special crossbred breed that produces colorful, powerful market animals. The last litter she had she farrowed with little difficulty, so I look forward to another easy litter out of Lady.
My other two sows that I bred were Yorkshire sows, which is an all white breed. Kate I bred for purebred Yorkshire piglets, and the Pixie I bred to a white Exotic. Her piglets should also be white, but I may have a few bluebutts, since the boar still carries the colored gene.
I've never bred or farrowed Yorkshires before, so this will be a new experience for me. They are a maternal breed, however, and should farrow and nurse the piglets better than the darker breeds.
Pigs are very easy to learn to breed, and this is why the majority of pigs, both show and commercial, are bred using artificial insemination. I've never had a litter from a live breeding, and I've been raising pigs for seven years now.
Based on their breeding dates, the sows will be due at the end of January, which is right when I want them to be due. This puts the piglets at six to seven months of age at fair, where they should weigh between 250-270 pounds. This seems to be the ideal weight for shows right now.
The pigs will be checked 19-21 days after breeding for pregnancy using a belly ultrasound scan. This device does not show a picture, but determines if there is fluid in the uterus, which indicates pregnancy. Hopefully all of the sows will take on the first breeding.
January will be a busy month for me, as I have seven Boer goats that are due to kid at the very beginning of the month. Then National Western Stock Show will take place, and at the end of that the pigs will be due.
I also have dairy goats that I will be breeding this month. I have two crossbred Alpine does that I will breed back to an Alpine buck, and one LaMancha doe who will be bred to a LaMancha buck. All three does should be due at the beginning of March, which puts the kids at almost two months old at the first show, held at the end of April.
Many of the does and their kids will then be shown throughout the summer, and then the process will start all over again.
I do have two does that were bred for fall kids, and the first one kidded on October 4. This Nubian doe, named Isis, had a single kid, which is what I thought she would have. The kid was a doe, and looks almost exactly like her mother. I have not named her yet.
She is an exciting kid for me, because she is the first grand kid born in my herd. Her mother is the daughter of one of my very first does named Lilly.
Lilly is the other doe that is due to kid, and she is the doe that started my love for dairy goats. If it was not for this doe, I likely would have never developed my passion for the dairy goat industry.
Last time she kidded, which was a year and a half ago, she had triplets. I am guessing she will either have the same or twins this year. I just have to wait and see, and should have more Nubian babies shortly.
Each time new babies are born, I marvel at the process that brought them into the world, and how the mothers know exactly what to do, even if it is their first time.
Babies, whether they are human or animal, are truly a miracle. ❖

AMD today revealed details of its next-generation Puma platform for notebook PCs. AMD Puma is designed to maximise battery life despite the heavy graphics performance demanded by the Windows Vista OS.
Windows Vista: the definitive review.
The Puma platform will come with processors named Turion Ultra, originally codenamed Griffin, and include Hybrid Graphics Technology, which boosts the platform's graphics performance by running both the integrated graphics processor and discrete graphics together.
See our Laptop Advisor website for expert reviews of today's best laptops, plus read our essential advice to make sure you choose the right specs
Discrete graphics cards, which are usually plugged into a slot on the motherboard, usually provide more video memory and graphics processing power than integrated graphics processors, which are included on a system's motherboard.
The platform will include the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 discrete graphics card, which is specially designed to work with an integrated graphics card to either crunch extreme graphics or to get better system performance-per-Watt, said Scott Shutter, mobile division brand manager at AMD.
See our CES 2008 Blog for all the latest news from the Consumer Electronics Show
AMD will also launch ATI PowerXpress for the Puma platform, which allows users to switch between integrated and discrete graphics dynamically without rebooting their laptop. This allows the discrete graphics card to be used for graphics intensive applications when under AC power, and the integrated graphics to be used for extended battery life when on the go, said Bahr Mahony, division marketing manager with AMD's mobile processor group.
The platform will fully support DirectX 10.1, Microsoft's 3D graphics platform.

The hybrid graphics capabilities will ship with notebooks based on the Puma platform in the middle of this year, Shutter said. Though intended to be a centerpiece of the Puma platform, the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 graphics card is already separately shipping with Asus systems, according to AMD. Pricing information was not available.

AMD today revealed details of its next-generation Puma platform for notebook PCs. AMD Puma is designed to maximise battery life despite the heavy graphics performance demanded by the Windows Vista OS.
A future Puma platform capability will include support for ATI Hybrid Graphics Technology with ATI PowerXpress, allowing users to switch between an integrated graphics card and a discrete graphics card based on a system's multimedia requirement. AMD will launch this technology toward the end of the year.
The combination of the CPU and graphics processing unit capabilities in the Puma platform is one more step towards achieving Fusion, a platform that merges a CPU and graphics processing unit on a single piece of silicon, Shutter said. The Fusion platform is aimed for release in 2009. The company last year launched the 'Spider' platform, which combines the company's Phenom quad-core process, graphics cards and chipsets in one package.
Laptops based on the Puma platform will be able to handle high-definition HD-DVD and Blu-ray movie playback through its Avivo HD technology, which offloads the processing of high-definition data decoding from the CPU to the graphics processing unit, Shutter said. The low CPU utilisation allows a laptop to perform better.
The CPU has 2MB of on-board cache, an upgrade from earlier Turion Rev G processors, which had 1MB of cache, Shutter said. The system also throttles down bandwidth between cores based on system usage and performance to increase a laptop's battery life.
Boot times and program launch times in Puma laptops will improve with on-board flash technology called HyperFlash, Shutter said. The flash technology will store important bits of information needed to boot a system quicker, reducing lag time usually associated with reading data from hard drives. It will be available on the board, or as a separate modules for motherboards.
Shutter didn't reveal further details about Turion Ultra's initial clock speeds.

We've all been that person watching a movie and torturing our friends with a bunch of "why don't they just to this" and "they should have just done that" comments. (No? Just us?) In any case, there are certain movies that just about everyone agrees played fast and loose with logic for the sake of drama. (For example, a certain film about a giant, ill-fated cruise ship – see below.)

Toward Commitment: A Dialogue About Marriageby Diane Rehm John B. Rehm
In Toward Commitment, Diane Rehm, the nationally known Public Radio broadcaster, and John, her lawyer-husband, open up for the reader their marriage of over forty years, revealing their passionate bond as well as their points of conflict and frustration. In a series of surprisingly honest dialogues, they grapple with their pronounced differences of background, attitude, and expectation. Addressing difficult and important issues--from love and sex and raising children to dependence and independence, from spiritual differences to financial and social needs--Toward Commitment gives readers the opportunity to eavesdrop on a husband and wife bravely analyzing their relationship and confronting the issues that inevitably strain a relationship. Refreshingly candid, these perceptive discussions will resonate with any two people who care enough about each other to resolve their difficulties. A practical guide for married couples as well as a must-read for couples considering that commitment, this thoughtful and ultimately hopeful book will help them become closer than ever.

Toshio Saeki (佐伯 俊雄 Saeki Toshio?) is a fictional character from the Ju-on franchise, created by Takashi Shimizu. He was played by several child actors, being Ryôta Koyama in the original two V-Cinema movies, Yuya Ozeki in the theatrical movies and The Grudge, Ohga Tanaka in The Grudge 2, Shimba Tsuchiya in The Grudge 3, Daiki Sawada in the short movie 4444444444, Kai Kobayashi in the 2014 Japanese reboot Ju-on: The Beginning of the End, and Garrett Masuda in the parody Scary Movie 4. He is characterized by his pitch-black eyes, pale skin, and the haunting meowing sounds he makes.
He can be considered the second main character in the series, behind of Kayako, his mother. His first appearance was in Takashi Shimizu's short movie 4444444444 and his haunting goes all through the franchise series in a house in Nerima, Japan. He is one of the fulfillers of the ju-on curse, which states that when someone dies amidst rage and intense wrath, those feelings remain at the death site and kill whoever it touches.
His next appearance was in The Grudge 3, played by Shimba Tsuchiya. He also has a guest appearance in Ju-on: Shiroi Rōjo and Ju-on: Kuroi Shōjo respectively, the 2009 Japanese sequels and both are played by Shūsei Uto.
Toshio has his first major appearance in the 2014 reboot Ju-on: The Beginning of the End and its sequel Ju-on: The Final Curse, where unlike the previous films, he is the main antagonist and the ultimate cause behind the curse.
History and characteristics[edit]
Toshio is born to Takeo and Kayako Saeki, a Japanese couple residing in Nerima City, Tokyo on July 27, 1985 as seen in Ju-on: The Grudge.
His grandmother is Nakagawa Kawamata and his aunt is Kayako's sister, Naoko in The Grudge franchise canon.
He has a teacher named Kobayashi in school who happened to be an old flame of his mother's, but who never really noticed Kayako. Takeo discovers a journal in which Kayako wrote of her love for Kobayashi. Blind with rage, he obsesses over the mistaken idea that Kayako is cheating on him, and that Toshio is not his son. He attacks Kayako when she comes home and violently kills her. Then he sees that Toshio had witnessed the murder, and locks him in the closet, leaving him to die. It is also implied that he killed Toshio's pet cat, Mar, before burying it in the dirt path beside the house.
This begins a curse upon that house, in which the ghosts of Kayako, Toshio and Takeo (who is killed by Kayako soon after her murder) attack people who enter in, re-enacting the murders and following the victims wherever they go. In no portrayal of the ghosts do victims ever attempt to fight back physically.
Toshio is often seen outside of the house without clothing and as chalk-white as his mother. He usually just haunts his victims instead of killing them. However, he is seen in The Grudge killing Jennifer and Matthew, Trish in The Grudge 2, and also kills Mr. Praski in The Grudge 3.
The 2014 reboot Ju-on: The Beginning of the End gives an entirely different backstory for Toshio and the Saeki family as a whole. In the film, before the Saeki family even moved in, there was another family who resided there: the Yamaga, whose eldest son, Toshio, was found dead in the second floor closet during a heat wave. Thus, the house's curse is not entirely caused by the Saeki family, as a group of four schoolgirls who visited the house were killed solely by Toshio. Toshio is also the ultimate cause of the Saeki murders, as he became Kayako's child by "entering" her womb, while she was frustrated by her inability to conceive a child with Takeo. Takeo eventually found the truth years afterward and killed his wife, igniting the curse to include Kayako as well. In the sequel, Ju-on: The Final Curse, it is revealed that Toshio is capable of controlling anyone claimed by the curse under his control, not just Kayako, as shown when he directs Yayoi to kill her sister, as well as Reo and her mother. He is also able to possess a person and leaving them at will; doing this ensures the survival of his second mortal incarnation long enough to be adopted by Reo's family, thus dooming them.
Differences between versions[edit]
- In the American remake, Takeo kills Toshio by drowning him in the bathtub. He even kills the cat with a utility knife. He puts Toshio's body in the closet and seals it with duct tape.
- In the Ju-on novel, Toshio hides in the attic from his father. Instead of coming after him, Takeo slams the cupboard door shut, leaving Toshio to starve to death. However, whilst in the attic, Toshio encounters the body (and the ghost) of his mother, so it is unknown if he did indeed starve, or if Kayako claimed him. Also in the novel, Toshio buries his own cat in the dirt, after both of their deaths.
- In the Ju-on films, Toshio is six years old at the time of his death. In the Grudge films, he was either seven or eight years old (the online newspaper article that Karen reads states Toshio's age as seven, but a link to another online article on the search engine she uses states Toshio's age as eight).
- In the Ju-on: The Beginning of the End reboot, there are two Toshio identified: Toshio Yamaga, who resided in the house nineteen years before the main timeline, and Toshio Saeki, who was reborn in Kayako's womb ten years before the main timeline. Toshio is also older than the previous continuities, being at least 9 years old at his death. While the backstory is completely changed as mentioned above, Toshio's pet cat, Mar, is still retained.

To the Editor:
It was with great sorrow that I read that John Brocks columns will no longer be carried by your newspaper. Johns column has always been the first thing that I turned to when the paper arrived and, like the loss of a good friend, I will miss it.
If his termination was a management decision because your editor decided that his meanderings no longer have redeeming qualities, then a serious mistake has occurred. May God bless John.

Vestas' Colorado factories will have a major hand in building turbines for the company's largest wind project in Canada, the company announced Monday.
After a turbulent 2012 and visions of a much worse 2013, Vestas was able to secure a deal to build 166 wind turbines with a 20-year maintenance contract with Blackspring Ridge Wind Project, a joint venture of EDF EN Canada Inc. and Enbridge, in southern Alberta, just north of the Montana border. The project comprises the largest order that Vestas has received in Canada to date, company officials reported in a news release.
"This turbine order is extremely positive news for our Colorado workers," said Vestas' Americas spokesman Andrew Longeteig. "Our blade factory in Windsor, nacelle factory in Brighton as well as the tower factory in Pueblo will manufacture components for this order in Canada."
It is the first major order this year for its U.S./Canada operations, Longeteig said.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married for 18 years to a man I have a good relationship with. My problem is that he has always been extremely rude to my parents. They aren't critical or judgmental of him, and they try hard to be friendly and accommodating, perhaps thinking it might lessen the rudeness he continually shows them.
Example: If my mom asks him how his parents are doing, without looking up from his cellphone he'll grunt and say, "They're fine" - nothing more. When we go out to dinner, he usually doesn't join in the conversation. Instead, he just sits there with a dismissive, bored look on his face.

I have never experienced a doctor so rude and belittling in my life. A pediatrician should be warm and inviting to children, coming to this woman was a nightmare. I figured the first appointment my son had with her she was just having an off day...the following appointments proved otherwise. Instead of professionally and kindly speaking to me, she continuously talked to me with a condescending, monotone voice..every appointment. I have never experienced anything like this before. Instead of giving her a peice of my mind I simply switched pediatricians and hope that she won't continue to treat anyone else the way my son and I were treated. The front desk ladies were always very courteous and helpful, unfortunately that wasn't enough to continue seeing Dr. burns.
Dr.Burns has been my daughter's doctor for going on 4 years. I absolutely love and trust the care my child receives from her. Her office is always willing to work with me when I need a same day appointment, I've called this doctor in the middle of the night and she answered the phone, & any concerns I have she is more then willing to discuss with me. She is honest, to the point, & extremely good with kid's. My daughter talks about Dr.Burns for days after we go in for a visit. The wait time is NOTHING compared to 95 percent of other doctor offices and the care my child receives is phenomenal. I recommend Dr.Burns to everyone I speak to that is seeking a pediatrician for their child.
i used a different doctor at first and she didnt know anything and wasnt very friendly and was just very in and out didnt take much time with the patients and wasnt thorough so i switched to mrs. burns and i definatly have to say shes the best!! she is very thorough and knows what shes doing and talking about very caring and doesnt pressure her patients to do something they dont want to..i would highly recommend her to everyone..
She is wonderful!!! Takes her time and is extremely thorough! Also she is wonderful with special needs!

We used an octapeptide analogue of somatostatin, SMS 201-995, in dosages ranging from 150 to 450 µg/d administered subcutaneously in three daily doses for 1 to 16 months, to treat 22 patients with advanced malignant islet cell carcinomas. Of the 22 patients, there were 9 with gastrinomas; 3 with glucagonomas; 4 with insulinomas; 1 with ectopic production of parathyroid hormone; and 3 with mixed syndromes. The only biochemical marker in 1 patient was pancreatic polypeptide, and 1 patient had no demonstrable peptide production from the tumor. In 14 patients, dramatic decreases in the levels of circulating peptides (insulin, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, gastrin, and glucagon) have been accompanied by major alleviations of symptoms. Steatorrhea appears to be the most significant toxicity. This analogue of somatostatin may be appropriate for use as early therapy in patients who have symptoms from syndromes related to islet cell carcinomas but in whom there is no immediate threat from tumor progression.

At once an appealing memoir and a gallery of Panhandle eccentrics, "Rare Birds" sees its subjects through the eyes of Jo N. Walker, retired teacher of English at Amarillo College and widow of Dr. Jack Walker, novelist, horseman and retired head of the West Texas State University speech and theater department.
Title: Rare birds
Author: Jo N. Walker
Publisher: Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.
Price: $8 (paperback)
Opening with a chapter on pioneer forebears of herself and her husband who fit the "Rare Birds" title, Walker proceeds to produce sketches of other characters, some from academia and some from the world of quarter horse breeding and racing in which the Walkers played a part. The final chapter constitutes a loving and gently humorous tribute to her husband.
The gallery of "Rare Birds" from academia goes unnamed but any reasonably observant person who attended what was West Texas State College during much of the birds' tenure will have no trouble coming up with names - and our own memories - of some great eccentrics. Indeed, most of us will end up wishing we could identify people we meet frequently as easily as we do these splendid "oners" from our past.
Good reading for the remember-when crowd and for any others who want to know what life was like once upon a time in the west. MKT

By Terry Pickeral, Project UNIFY Senior Consultant
Through my work with Special Olympics Project UNIFY, I recently had the privilege of visiting elementary, middle and high schools throughout the nation. I was able to see how they integrate social inclusion and the impact they make on all students. The corresponding Social Inclusion Lessons From the Field report can be found by clicking here.
One of the unique characteristics of Special Olympics Project UNIFY is a focus on creating socially inclusive schools by ensuring all students are encouraged and supported to be "agents of change" where all students are capable of being leaders. All students deserve the opportunity to experience an engaging school and community environment that recognizes their gifts and shares them with others.
You notice the focus on all students, not some students, not those students, not these students but all students. Thus social inclusion requires teachers, staff, administrators and school partners to ensure all students are included, engaged and feel a full sense of school connectedness and belonging.
Each of the elementary, middle/junior high and high schools we visited built on its own strengths, specific social inclusion opportunities and champions committed to social inclusion. Therefore, while the characteristics of social inclusion are consistent across all school settings, the Project UNIFY strategies that are implemented vary from school to school. This provides a diverse set of models and options for other schools to consider, adopt and/or adapt.
The following 10 characteristics were consistently present in the 21 schools visited:
As schools consider creating and sustaining socially inclusive school climates and opportunities for students to fully develop, these 10 characteristics can be used as both guidelines and indicators of progress and success. The result is that all students benefit!
Terry Pickeral, president of Cascade Educational Consultants, has extensive experience in policy development, advocacy, education reform, youth leadership, teaching and learning strategies, education collaborations and civic development. His commitment is to ensuring schools create and sustain quality teaching and learning environments for all students to be successful in school and contribute to their communities as active principled citizens.
My concern are bigger issues such as bullying. School need to remove certain students from regular school for this. They need to be given authority to do this
I agree that bullying is an awful thing and schools should do more about that, but it's quite hard to pick out all the bullies. Imagine you have one class which is for 90 percent existing out of bullies?
You're doing some really great stuff make sure keep doing all the time for free of cost like this always
great post guys thanks for this post...your thinking towards society is great

Lifetrients Child ProBio
Broad-Spectrum Probiotic Support for Children
Lifetrients Child ProBio is a high-potency probiotic supplement specifically formulated to support healthy gastrointestinal and immune systems of children two years of age and older.

and Dosage
Bacteria cells outnumber the human cells in our body at a ratio of about ten to one, and the majority of them are found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. A critical aspect of maintaining the health of the GI tract is the presence of these probiotic gut flora. These bacteria help to protect the lining of the gut while playing an important role in the production and absorption of nutrients.
Children's immune systems, though not fully developed, are continuously confronted by common microbes in schools and daycare centers, allergens and irritants in foods, chemical toxins, and overuse of medications such as antibiotics which, in turn, may disrupt a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria. Lifetrients Child ProBio contains 10 select probiotic bacterial strains designed to restore and maintain a normal balance of healthful microorganisms across the entire digestive tract to support healthy gastrointestinal and immune system function.†
Lifetrients Child ProBio provides a high degree of support to build a healthy balance of friendly intestinal flora.
Lifetrients Child ProBio provides A Potent Total Probiotic Count. The potency of a probiotic formula is measured by the total CFU (colony-forming unit) count. This is determined by direct count of live bacterial cells capable of growth. Lifetrients Child ProBio is a high-potency product providing a total probiotic count of 25+ billion CFU's per capsule and 10 billion CFU's per chewable tablet. Lower potency products typically contain 1 to 3 billion CFU's. The high-potency count supplied by Lifetrients Child ProBio makes it an excellent choice for replenishing good bacteria quickly.†
Hear what other parents have to say about lifetrients ProBio
We do see a difference in his digestive system
My son is happy to eat the chewable probiotic. I offer him one in the morning and one at night before bed. I appreciate the added "teeth cleaning" component. We do see a difference in terms of his digestive system when he does and does not take your product. I also like the fact that he only needs to take 2 a day versus 6-9 tablets.
Lifetrients Child's ProBio capsules and chewable tablets are designed to provide a highly potent and balanced spectrum of beneficial bacteria found in the human intestinal tract. Regular intake of beneficial probiotics can aid in maintaining healthy intestinal flora. This product also contains FOS (fructooligosaccharides) to assist healthy growth of acidophilus and bifidus organisms.†
Regulates immune system responses: Lifetrients Child's ProBio supplies substantial amounts of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species for healthy development of a child's immune system function.†
For ease of use, Lifetrients Child ProBio is available as a capsule (which may be pulled apart to blend in foods) or as a delicious, berry flavored chewable.
Lifetrients Child ProBio Capsule has been formulated to:
- Support gastrointestinal function: Many of the positive attributes of probiotics are species and strain dependent. Thus, taking just one or two strains may not be enough. The 10 well-studied probiotic lactic acid bacteria in Lifetrients Child ProBio provide a broad-spectrum of benefits that help maintain intestinal microbalance more effectively compared to single strain formulas.
- Contain hypoallergenic ingredients: This product is formulated to deliver a potency of 25 billion organisms through the Best By date. Contains no salt, starch, wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, shellfish or preservatives. Vegetarian/vegan product.
Lifetrients Child ProBio Chewable has been formulated to:
- Support gastrointestinal function: Lifetrients Child ProBio Chewable has 10 billion CFU (colony-forming units) from a combination of 10 clinically validated probiotic bacterial strains designed to support gastrointestinal health and healthy immune system function. Healthy intestinal flora also helps to create a favorable environment for the absorption of nutrients.†
- Tastes Great: ProBio Chewable can be used by both adults and children. Sweetened with Xylitol, ProBio Chewable won't harm teeth. and it tastes great.†
Questions from Parents
- What is the difference between the Complete and the Chewable and why would a parent want to choose one over the other?
- The suggested use includes a statement about when taking antibiotics to take Lifetrients Child ProBio several hours before or after. Why is this?
- When is the best time to take probiotics?
- How will I know if probiotics are working?
- Are there any side effects from taking probiotic supplements?
- Do I need to keep probiotics cold when traveling or away from home?
- Why are Lifetrients probiotics shipped with cold packs?
- What if the cold packs are not cold upon arrival of shipment?
- What other steps are taken to ensure probiotic potency?
- How much activity might be lost when probiotics are not kept refrigerated?
What is the difference between the Complete and the Chewable and why would a parent want to choose one over the other?
Bascially, it comes down to preference. Many kids love our new improved Berry chewable. Sweetened with Xylitol so it won't harm teeth, the chewable tastes delicious, and kids actually ask to take it. The Child ProBio capsules are easy to swallow and may be pulled apart and easily mixed into foods and beverages. So, depending on whether your child prefers the berry taste of the chewable or prefers to swallow a capsule or have the contents blended into foods, either option will work.
The suggested use includes a statement about when taking antibiotics to take Lifetrients Child ProBio several hours before or after. Why is this?
Antibiotics kill probiotic species, so they should be taken separately. Probiotics can be taken in between antibiotic doses. It's especially important to replenish good bacteria while taking antibiotics.†
When is the best time to take probiotics?
Health professionals and probiotic suppliers are often divided on this topic. Advocates of ingesting probiotics with meals reason that food buffers stomach acid, thereby providing protection and nutrients for the microorganisms. Those who recommend taking probiotics without food usually suggest consuming them with lots of water. Water dilutes the stomach acid and moves the organisms quickly into the intestines without subjecting them to high concentrations of digestive juices and bile. Few studies provide specific support for either approach. However, studies have administered probiotics with meals and have documented benefits. The most accepted approach is to consume probiotics with moderate amounts of food.†
How will I know if probiotics are working?
If symptoms are present, a reduction or resolution of symptoms is the best indication probiotics have helped. Symptoms may take days or even weeks to improve and may even temporarily worsen depending on the individual's response to the probiotics.†
Are there any side effects from taking probiotic supplements?
Probiotics help promote a more favorable balance of intestinal microorganisms by reducing populations of harmful, pathogenic bacteria. When pathogenic bacteria die, release of cellular debris and by-products may produce a "die-off" effect. Although rare, this effect may cause individuals to temporarily experience a worsening of symptoms which may include gas, abdominal discomfort, and even diarrhea. Persistence in taking probiotics is usually rewarded by an improvement in symptoms.†
Do I need to keep probiotics cold when traveling or away from home?
If refrigeration is not available during traveling or in the workplace, it is usually fine to keep them outside the refrigerator for a week or two at a time. A supply of probiotics can be removed from the refrigerated stock bottle and put into a smaller container and carried in a purse or briefcase. Generally, if an individual is personally comfortable at room temperature then the probiotics should maintain their full potency at these same temperatures during this time out of the refrigerator.
Why are Lifetrients probiotics shipped with cold packs?
Although Lifetrients probiotics will maintain their full potency for several weeks at room temperature without refrigeration, we include cold packs during shipment to keep the probiotics cold and protected for most of their journey. This helps prevent excessive exposure to high heat during their travels so that they arrive at maximum potency.
What if the cold packs are not cold upon arrival of shipment?
In most cases, the cold packs will not stay frozen or remain cold during the full time in transit. Even if the cold packs are completely thawed and the product is no longer cold, the probiotics have excellent stability during the short time that they are exposed to ambient temperatures. The cold packs and foil-lined bags do their job of keeping the probiotics cool during the majority of the time in shipment. Thus, the chance of prolonged exposure to high temperatures that might affect potency is avoided.
What other steps are taken to ensure probiotic potency?
All Lifetrients probiotics are formulated with "overages" as extra insurance that they maintain the full potency stated on our labels throughout the expiration date under the typical shipping, storage, and handling conditions encountered. By including higher potencies of microorganisms than stated on the label at time of manufacture, small losses of activity that may occur over time are insignificant.
How much activity might be lost when probiotics are not kept refrigerated?
Probiotics have greater stability at room temperature than generally realized and can be maintained for several weeks with minimal loss of 5% or less. However, loss in potency would be accelerated over time. That is why it is best to maintain probiotic supplements under refrigeration, as this offers the optimal conditions favoring long-term potency and viability.
Suggested Use:
Lifetrients Child ProBio capsules and chews can be used on a daily basis by children over the age of two.
Suggested Use for Lifetrients Child ProBio Chewable:
Chew 1 tablet daily for the first week. In week 2, increase to 1 tablet twice daily.
Suggested Use for Lifetrients Child ProBio Capsule:
Take one capsule daily for the first week. In week 2, increase to 1 capsule twice daily. Capsule may be pulled apart and contents mixed with foods or beverages.
The powder is tasteless (may have a mild vanilla flavor) and can be mixed into your child's favorite foods. You may:
- Mix in pudding, yogurt, or applesauce
- Stir into juice, smoothies, or chocolate milk
- Mix into peanut butter or spaghetti sauce
- Mix into ice cream
This product is vegetarian/vegan.
