Weekend in Arnold
We've still got no power at my dad's house in North County, but we managed to find a motel room in Arnold, MO. Boy, do I wish I was home in LA this weekend instead, where I could be watching the Cards in person. Things are semi-apocalyptic in North County. Last night, there was a huge queue at the Quik Trip on the corner of New Halls Ferry and Dunn Rd that was backing up both streets. There must have been 30 cars lining up for gas. If people just got on the highway and went a couple exits, they'd find plenty of gas, but either they are short-sighted or don't have enough gas to get there. We had one hour of power yesterday before Storm #2 blew through town, knocking down more tree limbs onto power lines, and basically causing Ameren/UE to start over. 426,000 homes are without power as I type this – this handy outage map shows the outages by zip code. If anyone has tourist tips on things to do, restaurants, etc in Jefferson County or environs, please leave a comment. This is foreign territory to me. At least the Live on the Levee concert is still happening tonight and I'll be enjoying a Bud and brat and watching Cheap Trick.

I have many friends in St. Charles who say things are pretty good there. (Though I haven't heard anything since yesterday's storms.)
Otherwise, go down to Columbia and hang out at Flatbranch all day. (That's what I'd be most inclined to do. Especially if I was forced to stay in a hotel anyway.)
Sorry you aren't in LA for this series. Last night's game was great and I'm look forward to watching Reyes and Weaver tonight and tomorrow.
But keep holding down the fort in the Lou. It seems they need all the good mojo they can get. Let them know folks all over the country are sending their best wishes and prayers.
Take care. Stay dry. Stay cool. (And never change? Suddenly I feel like I'm writing in your yearbook. haha)

A quiet Fort Myers, Florida neighborhood was left stunned after a mother found a man wearing nothing but a towel standing in her front yard.
The mother, who did not want to identify herself, said she was expecting an average day when the sun came up on Aqua Lane.
That notion quickly changed.
"I noticed a man wrapped up in a towel naked walking by my boat," she described.
She says she confronted the stranger and asked what he was doing.
"He said he was looking for a place to take a shower. He looked like had already taken a shower somewhere - either with my hose or in the pool or in the sprinklers," she said.
She yelled at him to leave. She says he cussed at her, walked around the side of the house and then headed toward the water.
She called 911.

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place but here goes. I am nursing my 2-yr-old, who eats a good deal of solids. She has reduced breastfeeding quite a bit over the past few months, all on her own, yet I see that emotionally, she still needs to breastfeed when tired/sleepy.
The thing is, I have been very ill the past few days, with a viral bug and high fever, 39 C. I have continued breastfeeding throughout but for the past 3 days, my daughter is not interested in feeding much during the day and at night, when she comes to the breast, she fusses and fusses, never gets content, wants to nurse all night. This is so much worse because I am sick and so tired, I just want her to go to sleep. Last night, it got so bad, I fed her as much as I could and when she said 'more milk', then 'cup of milk', I dragged myself out of bed to make her a cup of milk.
Before this, I was unsure about initiating weaning and at times, it did look like she was heading in that direction, all on her own. So I had decided to take the cues from her. Now, I'm too tired, too ill to think to much about supplementing with milk that isn't my own.
I guess, my question is, has anyone any thoughts on this, or has anyone experienced a drop in milk supply from being ill? My feeling is to just go with it and breastfeed the best I can but do what works well for the both of us. Anita

|The Government of Saudi Arabia kindly wishes to inform you that they do not like your geography blog.
A Neat and Orderly Police State
|The Government of Saudi Arabia kindly wishes to inform you that they will kill you if you bring in drugs.
When the plane took off I was thinking that Saudi Arabia would be similarly chaotic. I was quickly diverted though when a East Asian flight attendant handed me a customs form which in bright red lettering threatened me with death if I was trafficking in drugs (If only "Death for Terrorism" or "Death for Human Trafficking" were on the form). For the rest of the flight I, a non-drinking, non-smoking, non-drug using Catholic, just dwelled on this stern warning while remembering movies like Brokedown Palace.
When I landed the stereotype of an Arabian chaos was shattered. Everyone quickly yet quietly formed a line and stayed in it. We all went through security silently. Heavily armed police overlooked the whole process. Women in face showing burqas, more skin reveling than in Qatar but much less fashionable as they were cotton and not silk, checked in women while men in uniform (much like Homeland Security in the United States) checked men in.
Qatar relies on cameras for enforcement. Police cameras are everywhere and used in malls, sidwalks, roads, neighborhoods, and even in restaurants. In Saudi Arabia police are everywhere while the camera was virtually unseen. Going to the hotel and around town there were many road checkpoints manned mostly by police but at several places by military-equipped National Guard. Even the hotel I stayed at had a heavy police presence.
What truly made me feel in another world was the openness of punishment. Public punishment has gone out of sytle in the West. The biggest controversy is if the names and addresses of ex-convicts should be placed on the internet. In Saudi Arabia there is no real controversy over any form of punishment public or private.
|The seemingly innocent public square in front of the Ministry of Justice building.
In front of the Ministry of Justice building is the "Ministry of Justice Square." I visited it on a Thursday evening. Little kids were playing in the main fountains that came out of a complex gutter system while older kids played a soccer game. Some adults walked in and out of the square while others were merely enjoying the cooling evening shade.
While I was enjoying the view someone came up to me and asked if I was going to be in the square tomorrow, Friday. When I asked why I was told that I should. "You should come. We will put you up front so you get to see everything." I quickly found out that the Ministry of Justice Square was used for executions and amputations for people caught stealing three times. Crowds and the police will move foreigners up front with the preference for those who they consider likely Christians. That way foreigners get to see "true, Saudi justice" while the last thing the condemned see are kafir Christians.
The man probably saw the shock on my face. He responded with "Don't worry. The criminals are drained of blood so they cannot struggle and no blood will get on. The rest of the blood and washed away by the fountains."

After 2 months of being at grandma's and daycare during the day - DD still won't take any EBM. We are going to keep trying (she's really good with a straw cup, but she just won't drink more than half an ounce) but in the meantime I'm worried about her being thirsty or getting dehydrated. Her poops have started getting firmer and are sometimes just one medium sized pellet.
When she gets home we nurse every hour until bedtime ( four sessions on average) and usually once overnight. In the morning we nurse twice before I leave for work. So she's getting a ton of bm with me - but she goes from 7:30-4 without drinking much of anything!
DD will drink juice (duh), she's on and off with water. When can you introduce soy? Would soy milk be a good drink? What might be good to send with her?

The 15-year-old daughter of a Madison man who's accused of abusing her told a Dane County jury Friday that she slept on a dirty feather mattress with mold and other stains.
Chad Chritton is accused of locking the girl known in court documents as "SLC" in his basement and depriving her of food. He is charged with party to six felonies, including false imprisonment and child neglect resulting in bodily harm.
The girl told the jury she was forced to sleep on the floor when her mattress was taken away. She said she sneaked blankets to be more comfortable on the floor. She said she had to ask permission to bathe upstairs, but was told she could only wash up in the basement with cold water
SLC said she used a store-bought portable toilet to go to the bathroom in the basement. When it was taken away, she would use containers. She said she was forced to eat her feces, but not by Chritton.
She told the jury she tried to sneak food because she was always hungry. She said she would try to sneak frosting and crackers as food.
Chritton would call her names, choke her and slam her into the wall, according to SLC. She told the jury she was worried he would "snap my neck." He said Chritton would punish her when she misbehaved by forcing her to do numerous of exercises, including push-ups. She said she was happy when she ran away, but she was scared that father or stepmother would get her. She said she thought Chritton "would kill me."
SLC said her stepbrother tried to sexually assault her, and when she told Chritton and her stepmother, they didn't believe her.
District Attorney Ismael Ozanne told jurors early in the trial that the girl was starved and locked in the basement by her family until she wasted away to 68 pounds.
During defense questioning, SLC admitted her imaginary friend threatened several members of her family with physical harm.
SLC's testimony came nine days into testimony in the trial. Her testimony ended Friday afternoon.
The jury has heard from the girl's mother, Chritton's family members, neighbors and numerous social workers who've had contact with the family.
The defense has said the girl had adequate clothes available to her and food at her disposal, but she was the one who chose not to dress appropriately and eat well.
Chritton's wife, Melinda Drabek-Chritton, is also facing six felonies, including child abuse and neglect. The girl's stepbrother has been accused of sexually assaulting her.

With Wednesday marking the sixth anniversary of the unveiling of the original iPad, take a look back at the surprisingly long history of the tablet computer.
iPad Pro
Announced at a "Hey Siri" press event on Sept. 9, 2015, the iPad Pro went on sale on Nov. 11, 2015. Starting at $799 and aimed at business users, it is 12.9 inches, features a screen with 5.6 million pixels -- more than a 15-inch MacBook Pro with a Retina display -- and is 1.8 times faster than the previous iPad's CPU. It also boasts a 10-hour battery life, super-thin design and weighs just 1.5 pounds.
iPad Mini 4
Also announced at the same "Hey Siri" press event in September 2015 that featured the debut of the iPad Pro was the iPad Mini 4 (left), which replaced the iPad Mini 3. Also seen here is the iPad Air 2 and the iPad Pro for comparison sake. The iPad Mini 4 was the first Apple device to ship with iOS 9 pre-installed and also was the first major redesign of the iPad Mini line, featuring a slightly taller and wider body. It also is much thinner than previous iPad Minis, matching the iPad Air 2's 6.1 millimeter thickness.
iPad Air 2
Released in October 2014, the iPad Air 2 comes with a TouchID fingerprint sensor and is just 6.1 millimeters thick -- 18 percent smaller than the previous iPad Air. Also introduced at the same time was the since discontinued iPad Mini 3.
iPad Air
Released October 2013, the fifth generation of Apple's market-leading tablet weighs just 1 pound and is fractions of an inch thinner and narrower. It also has the same A7 processing chip in the iPhone 5S, making it 72 times faster than the original iPad.
Kindle Fire HDX
Released in the fall of 2013, the third generation of Amazon's Kindle Fire line comes in two models, a 7 inch and a 8.9 inch. A second generation of the Fire HDX 8.9-inch model featuring a faster processor and a more powerful graphics processing unit was released in September 2014. At at that same time, the name "Kindle" was removed from all of the Fire tablets' names.
iPad Mini
Originally released in November 2012, the iPad Mini was replaced by the iPad Mini 2 in November 2013. The mini, which is now in its fourth generation, features a 7.9-inch screen, which is one-third smaller overall than than its 10-inch cousin, and weighs less than a pound.
Kindle Paperwhite
This Amazon tablet was first released in October 2012. Back-lit and boasting a higher resolution than the company's previous e-readers, it's thinner than a magazine at 9.1 millimeters and weighs 7.5 ounces. The device also has a long-lasting battery, with Amazon saying the device can stay on for up to eight weeks even if its back light is powered on. The Paperwhite is now in its third generation, with the most recent model being released in June 2015 and featuring twice the pixels of the original Paperwhite.
Kindle Fire HD
The HD version of the original Kindle Fire, released in the fall of 2012, has dual stereo speakers and Dolby Digital Plus, the first tablet to ever have it. It was also 40 percent faster and had a longer battery life than original Kindle Fire and was offered in two different sizes at an introductory price of $199 and $299.
Nexus 7
Released in July 2012, the Nexus 7 was designed and developed by Google in conjunction with Asus. It is the first tablet in the Google Nexus series, which previously had consisted only of smartphones.
iPad 3
Released March 2012. Developed by Apple, the third-generation iPad added a Retina display, the new Apple A5X chip with a quad-core graphics processor, a 5 megapixel camera, HD 1080p video recording, voice dictation and 4G.
Kindle Fire
With the release of its first real tablet in November 2011, Amazon targeted the lower price segment of consumers while also trying to create a device focused on media consumption. The original Kindle Fire featured a 7-inch display and combined the functions of Amazon's Kindle e-readers with streaming video and music. It also offered apps, WiFi and Internet, all run on a customized version of Google's Android operating system. The price, $199 as compared to the then $499 starting price of the Apple iPad, was designed to get the device into consumers' hands on the cheap so that Amazon could then sell digital goods and services.
iPad 2
Released March 2011. The iPad 2 has a battery that lasts up to 10 hours, a dual core Apple A5 processor and VGA front-facing and 720p rear-facing cameras designed for FaceTime video calling.
Released April 2010. The original iPad was designed by Apple primarily as a platform for audio-visual media. Its size and weight fell between those of contemporary smartphones and laptop computers. During the first 80 days, three million iPads were sold. It was discontinued in March 2011 with the announcement of the second-generation iPad.
Blackberry PlayBook
Released April 2011. PlayBook is the first device to run BlackBerry Tablet OS, based on QNX Neutrino, and runs apps developed using Adobe AIR. It features a 7-inch display and 3D graphics acceleration.
Sony Tablet
Released September 2011. Sony eventually made two versions of its tablet (Tablet S and Tablet P). Both run on Google's operating system Android 3.1 Honeycomb. They feature touchscreens, two cameras (a rear-facing 5 MP, a front-facing 0.3 MP), infrared sensor and Wi-Fi.
Nook Tablet
Released November 2011. The original Barnes & Nobel Nook e-reader was released in November 2009, but the newer tablet - which ran on the Android platform and came with either 16 or 8 gigabytes of internal storage - became available two years later.
Motorola Xoom
Released February 2011. This is an is an Android-based tablet developed by Motorola. It supports up to 720p video playback, features a 2 MP front-facing camera for video chatting over Wi-Fi or cellular Internet and a rear-facing 5 MP camera that records 720p video. It has a larger, 10.1-inch display and 3D graphics acceleration as well.
Samsung Galaxy Tab
Released November 2010, the Galaxy Tab was the first Android-powered tablet to be released. This tablet has a 7-inch TFT-LCD touchscreen, Wi-Fi capability, a 1.0 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 Samsung Exynos 3110 processor, a 3.2 MP rear-facing camera and a 1.3 MP front-facing camera for video calls.
Amazon Kindle
Released 2007. While Amazon's first model wasn't nearly what tablets are now, it proved beyond doubt that the time was right for ebooks and e-readers to make their move.
Compaq TC1000
Released in 2003. This hybrid tablet PC was designed by Compaq, before the time of the modern-day tablet. It used the Transmeta Crusoe processor and had a detachable 10.4-inch touchscreen.
Microsoft Tablet PC
Released in 2000. Bill Gates and Microsoft achieved industry accolades for his early vision of the tablet, seen here in prototype form, but the execution was not so great and this tablet was not regarded as a success.
Apple Newton MessagePad
Released in 1993. John Sculley, the CEO of Apple in the early '90s, coined the phrase Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) to describe the Newton MessagePad. The handheld device appeared less than a year later, featuring an ARM 610 processor ambling along at 20MHz, 640K of RAM and a 336 x 240 display. This device helped mark the beginning of the PDA era.
Tandy Zoomer
Released in 1992. This PDA is an important part of the tablet story, but it was a struggle to get people to buy this touchscreen device in the early '90s.
Released in 1989. Built by the GRiD Systems Corporation, this early tablet PC ran MS-DOS, supported stylus input on a 10-inch monochrome screen and had enough juice for about three hours of battery life. Critics regarded it as a creative breakthrough in laptop computer design, but the price prevented the device from being widely consumed. At $2,370 each, the GRIDpad was followed by similarly overpriced and underpowered rivals, which included the Momenta Pentop (1991), the Compaq Concerto (1992) and the AT&T EO PC (1993).

The families of the victims of the deadly Ka Loko Dam breach say they were blind-sided by the news that Jimmy struck a plea deal that wiped out all seven manslaughter charges against him.
It was all part of a deal with the state that 87-year-old Jimmy Pflueger was supposed to take in April.
But a month before that, Pflueger beat tax evasion charges and then subsequently changed his mind about the plea deal.
On Thursday, Pflueger changed his mind again and pleaded no contest to one felony reckless endangerment charge.
A judge then found him guilty on that charge.
As part of the deal, Pflueger's company would take the hit for the seven manslaughter charges -- that means $350,000 in fines, but likely no jail time for Pfleuger.
In March 2006 on Kauai's south side, 400 million gallons of mud flooded out of the Ka Loko Dam -- owned by Pflueger's company -- killing seven people and wiping out everything in its path.
For years, the victim's families have been fighting for justice.
Bruce Fehring's daughter, son-in-law and grandson were all killed.
"I had a grandson who would be nine years old now. I have an oldest daughter who might have had other grandchildren by this time and their gone. They're gone. That's something we live with every day and all the other victims. We live with their loss every day. Will there ever be closure? Well, that's a word that's maybe been overused," said Fehring.
Pflueger will be sentenced on Jan. 23.
The judge could impose community service, fines and up to a year in jail.
But the attorney general is recommending Pflueger get five years probation and no jail time.
His company -- Pacific 808 Properties -- which technically owns the land was fined $50,000 for each person killed in that incident, for a maximum of $350,000.
In 2001, Pflueger was convicted on 10 felony charges in a similar case -- for illegal grubbing that caused a massive mudslide that destroyed parts of the Pilaa Reef on Kauai.
Victims in that case told KITV they've received payments from insurance companies, but not a dime from Pflueger.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers.

Now I know catteries and kennels have nothing in common here, however, the cattery prefix I've had for 16 years has been declined amongst others and I've heard nothing on my appeal that was sent off last year. I combined my dogs names, my name and my dogs names etc I'm at a loss. I don't want to send names willy nilly for fear I'll get something I hate so I really think about the names.
I've also googled, searched FCI and Sways list and none of the ones I submitted show up anywhere.
Beside each of the rejected prefixes it said overseas prefix or too common a word and that is in Victoria. One that was rejected as too common a word was Glyneryk. I can see the reason that. Everybody uses that word

An analyst for investment company Piper Jaffray wrote in a note to clients that Apple plans to release a low-cost tablet personal computer in 2010. The information was then confirmed by sources "familiar with Apple's products plans".
"We expect Apple to fill the gap between the iPod touch and the MacBook with a new tablet device (not a netbook) priced at about $500-$700. Apple will likely leverage its multi-touch patents to differentiate its product from the typical netbook," analyst Gene Munster for Piper Jaffray wrote in a note to customers of the company.
Although the preliminary data regarding Apple's products is rarely correct, it is still logical for the company to release a device that fills the gap between iPod touch/iPhone and Macbook. The question is, what is the difference between tablet personal computer and a netbook with touch-screen?
Many netbooks will gain touch-screens later this year when Microsoft Windows 7 operating system hits the market, therefore, all of them can be considered "tablet PCs". A number of such netbooks will also be based on Intel Corp.'s Pine Trail platform that features more advanced Intel Atom code-named Pineview processors, hardware-accelerated high-definition video playback and other advantages compared to the current netbooks.
Keeping in mind that Apple still has not released a netbook based on the first-generation Intel Atom platform, the company is unlikely to do it in the near future since competing Windows 7- and Intel Pine Trail-based machines will quickly offer better performance and functionality.
In order to differentiate its inexpensive tablet PCs from competing offerings, Apple plans to bet on its Mac OS X with improved touch-sensitive functionality.
"Apple will likely leverage its multi-touch patents to differentiate its product from the typical netbook. We are anticipating a new category of Apple products with an operating system more robust than the iPhone's but optimized for multi-touch, unlike Mac OS X. The device's OS could bear a close resemblance to Apple's mobile OS and run App Store apps, or it could be a modified version of Mac OS X," the report reads.
Apple's inexpensive tablet PC is projected to become available in calendar 2010.
Apple did not comment on the news-story.

Nice post Metro.
The only things that I dis-agre a little on are 1 I don't think Gallo is that bad of a rebounder (D) , but I can also see your point cause he is like 6'10" , and I also dis-agree a little on his inside game, even thou he hasn't been posting up guy's he has been going to the hole more, hasn't been finishing, but has been getting fouled and that's just as good if not better IMO.
And 2 ..... I'm finding it kind of hard to jump on the Anthony Randolf ban wagon, he play's like an out of control 5th grade B-Ball player with no basketball IQ at all. If he can't shoot (witch he can't) he should be smart enough to use his one only strength and drive the ball using his great speed and ball handling abilitly's by much slower big men and get to the rim. I also think he is only getting playing time because Walsh and Mike are going to try and up his trade value, witch hasn't worked out so well...... yet.
Think your dead nuts on everything else thou

♥ My PhD. I am finally doing this full time so I no longer have to fit it in around my previous public health job. Yay! I have a lot to learn and the learning curve is steep but I am enjoying the thrill of stretching my brain to the limit. Some days I am so engrossed in what I am doing that 5 pm arrives and I have to scramble to catch my bus to get to the train on time! I AM LOVING IT! It is something I always wanted to do! It really is my passion.
♥ Teaching. I had my first ever tutorial group for epidemiology last year where I was responsible for 13 first year medical students. I was very pleased to know that my epi 'babies' were the highest performing group in that subject in their end of year exams. They gave me great feedback too. :-)
♥ Reading the Happiness Project. I joined a lovely little facebook group based on Gretchen Rubins' The Happiness Project. The book cost me nothing as I still have the Waterstone's gift card I won for best poster and abstract at a conference last year. I am in no rush to read it in its entirety. However I have decided to start with the chapters for March- Aim Higher and July- Buy some happiness. I even have a lovely new A5 filofax that I am using for the project (using the last of my 'treat' money for June before I start the big no shopping challenge!) I hope to share pictures of this soon!
♥ Skype. I can't believe that I only started using Skype late last year. It really is the best thing since sliced bread! I use video skype with my parents in Trinidad and it makes me feel as though they are with me. It brings me so much joy to see their faces when I am talking to them :-) Last week I chatted with my oldest niece and it was great to hear her little voice. There is also a great Philofaxy Skype group which I would recommend joining if you are a fan of filofaxes like me!
♥ The response to the proposed no shopping challenge! I am so overwhelmed by the enthusiasm you guys have shown for this challenge based on my money themed 30 days of truth posts. I am working on creating something fabulous ;-) so look out for the official launch post on the last Sunday in June.
♥ You guys. In the last few weeks I have received lovely, supportive emails from several of you which have really touched me. I really enjoy blogging and connecting with people and building a community are just a couple of the reasons why I blog (you can read all in these two posts). I don't want to sound cheesy (heck I am cheesy! hehe) but blogging and connecting with you all has really changed my life for the better. I hope that my writing has positively impacted on yours too.
So wonderful people, is there anything in your life that has been making you smile lately? Or anyone that deserves a special 'shout out' for some act of kindness or generosity? Please share in the comments and as usual.......
Have a marvellous day!
P.S. I just wanted to mention one of my lovely readers who I know will definitely be smiling today! I would like to congratulate Alannarama on her well deserved success in her final year medical exams :-) Well done Dr Alannarama!

Hi . I was wondering about hand expression. I am currently trying to relactate. The pump in the morning gives me some results (1/4 of an oz)
but when I remove the pump I can hand express more out even though the pump isn't getting it.
then any other time during the day that I use the pump I really only get a few drops. but if I hand express I get more .
so my question is. with relactating. don't you have to empty the breast to tell it to make more milk? Will the pump stimulation be just as good at telling it to make more milk??

We have a great time on our workshops, and these two were no exception! Following is a summary of the two workshops we held in the San Francisco Bay and Marin Headland areas on Saturday and Sunday. (One 8-hour in-field class each day.)
We started the day at Baker Beach, famous for its iconic views of the west side of the Golden Gate Bridge. The weather was picture perfect (ok, pun intended). We hiked down the beach a short distance and used our first hour working on some basic fundamentals. We worked with composition and shutter speed to create different effects with the crashing surf. This time was also a good opportunity to get to know one another and for Brian and myself to learn the various skill levels of our students, and help instruct on the areas that each of them wanted to focus on specifically.
As usual for this time of year, the light at mid-day was bright, flat and difficult to work in, so from Baker Beach, we carpooled to Fort Point, located at the base of the Golden Gate's south tower. Fort Point is a labrynth of dimly lit cannon turrets, old arches, and military living quarters that are quite dramatic with their interesting colors and textures. The many archways and twisting stairs made for some great eye-leading compositions and the murky lighting created an old and mysterious mood to the scene. Fort Point's variety of shadows and textures made for a great place to spend the afternoon working on longer, tripod mounted exposures, detailed composition... and black and white images.
Upon leaving Fort Point, we made our way up and over the Golden Gate Bridge and high up into the hills of the Marin Headlands. The weather was amazing and it was so clear, we could see for miles. The spectactular vista made for some rare photographic opportunities of the Golden Gate Bridge, with the city clearly in the background. Giant cargo ships passing under the bridge added to the immense scale of the scene.
From the vista point, we headed over the hill and down into the green rolling hills of the far west side of the Marin Headlands. The beautiful view seemed to go on forever as we made our way to the ocean, and to Rodeo Beach.
After a short hike along the beach, we arrived at a cluster of monolythic sea stacks, our destination for sunset shooting. While we waited for the sun to approach the horizon, we experimented with neutral density filters, specifically how to achieve 1/3 second exposures in the bright sun, to capture the 10+ foot spray of the ocean surf as it crashed onto nearby rocks. It made for a lot of fun and some great action images!
As the sun reached the horizon, we all turned our sights toward the sea stacks, first capturing some silhouette images, then, once the sun had set, some colorful, gradient skies. We used graduated ND filters to control the exposure, which allowed us to capture great foreground detail that otherwise we would have missed.
With sunset photos in our cameras, and the sun down for the day, we headed back up to the top of the hill to photograph the Golden Gate bridge all lit up in the night sky. We took long exposures at higher apertures for some nice lighting effects. Because of the great weather, the city lights were crystal clear and really made for some great iconic images. Rather reluctant to leave the fantastic view, we packed up and returned to Baker Beach, concluding this photography tour...and looking forward to the next!
Until next time!
Stephen & Brian

Philadelphia Phillies (50-56) vs San Francisco Giants (46-59) Kyle Kendrick (9-7, 3.96 ERA) vs Chad Gaudin (4-2, 2.77 ERA) TIME: 7:05 Citizens Bank Park TV: Comcast SportsNet Weather: 86, sunny Media: Twitter and Facebook The Phillies ended their eight game losing streak on Tuesday with a 7-3 win over the Giants, and tonight they will have a crack at winning their first series since before the All-Star break. They will do so with Kyle Kendrick on the hill. Kendrick has been one of the Phillies most consistent starters this season, and despite earning a loss, he pitched well his last time out against St. Louis. The righty tossed six innings and allowed just three runs on five hits, marking his 15th quality start this year. Kendrick did face the Giants back on May 7, and earned a win after holding them to two runs over seven innings. The Phillies will be facing Chad Gaudin, who they have faced several times but have never seen as a starter. In nine relief appearances against the Phillies he has held them to three runs over 13 1/3 innings (2.03 ERA), and all three runs came in the same outing. He worked two scoreless frames against the Phillies earlier this year. Michael Young is the only Phillies player with any success against Gaudin, and he has done it over a large sample size. Young has seen Gaudin 22 times, and is hitting .455 with three doubles, three home runs and seven RBI against him. No other Phillie with more than three at bats against him has ever gotten more than one hit. Lineup: Rollins SS, M. Young 1B, Utley 2B, D. Young RF, Ruf LF, Asche 3B, Mayberry CF, Ruiz C, Kendrick P Gameday Beer: Shocktop Belgian White With summer in full swing, it's a great time to crack open a true summer brew with a Shocktop Belgian White. This wheat ale is brewed with lemon, lime and orange peels to give it a refreshing taste and subtly sour finish. It's the perfect beer for relaxing and watching the ballgame whether you are at the bar, relaxing at home or hanging out down the shore.

Kendrick sucks. He could be traded.
Kendrick looks putrid tonight.
another sell inning in progress. Save for Asche however. That's DEFENSE.
w errors
losing 7-1 in the 5th
starter lasts 2.2 innings
This is vintage Ruben Amaro baseball.
Need to lock these guys down long term.
All of them.
I thought that since they stood pat. The team might catch a little life. Like hey we are still all here. Lets do this. Make the best of it.
Instead its vintage Phillies.
Including not hitting a skell pitcher.
it's not just legitimate errors…did you see Basepaths get picked off in the first?
Did you see Mayberry's throw in the first?
And Kendrick throws a hittable pitch to Posey on an obvious hit and run.
Like the man said, the other half is 90% mental, and this team don't have no mentality.
Ken is legitimate error like legitimate rape?
I am feeling violated either way.
So Andrew,
Per your question about the pic the other day, which I might add has been replaced by a requested shot of Fosse (and Pete), here's the deal.
First of all, here's the pic in case you need a memory refresher.
And you asked who it was.
To which I replied in this particular thread, closer to the bottom than the top..
I'll see you at the parade. The one I'm supposed to bo buy you a beer at, on top of paying half the Met bet. You're an expensive partner in discussion.
1. that's just a general bing search.
2. I am calling him on base percentage now instead of basepaths.
Or maybe no trade
Why contend when you can set team records?
The guys name is pill. He comes in with 3 RBI hes got 4 tonight and he just hit one to the moon. Then Crawford hit one to the moon. He hadn't hamered since april 27th.
Ken how many at bats ? count it up please.
I am just laughing anymore like I do when I watch the Eagles.
This is a disgrace.
A bitter pill for sure
Kendrick stunk tonight. Whew!!!! His worst outing of the year.
Glad we didn't sell!! It's gonna be a tight race…
I need another beer…. or 2
You are all welcome to cheer on my Phillies Mets better record with me.
That one I am hoping is close.
I mean the mets are terrible right?
But then theres the Phillies.
I think I am 75-25 to lose that bet at this point.
The head to head games will be very important.
OK enough Diekman.
Is this another must win game? Cause it's not going so well.
Random stat:
Delmon's splits:
first 45 games: .222/.278/.389…. .667 OPS
next 9 games: .486/.514/.657…. 1.171 OPS
last 19 games: .247/.276/.288 … .564 OPS
Hopefully he'll be gone in a week when Brown returns.
don't hold your breath
Looking forward to next year's MLB draft. We should be drafting between 11-14 if the standings hold somewhat. Really not much to acquire via free agency, this year or next year. But there is the draft.
Enough with the amaro bashing it needs to stop, everyone has gone so overboard with it. Is he the best gm clearly not, that being said he's tried to do what's right for this team. Sometimes things don't go your way but he put together 3 World Series teams after 08. Is it all his fault that things didn't break his way? No it's not. The Howard extension was a little premature but he was afraid he would walk to the American League, in my opinion that's understandable. As for papelbon we could have signed Madson instead and not had a closer at all with his injury problems. Bad trades are made by every team. We got worked in both pence trades but I'm sure all u guys wanted his bat that year. He's tried to fix the 8th inning situation every year it just hasn't worked out. When he sells to get prospects it never good enough in te fans eyes. I've just had enough. I'm not even an amaro supporter but for god sakes every loss his name is run through the mud. He has elevated the team to new levels sometimes on the field sometimes off. 10 years from now people will look back and say wow that was a nice run. Should we have another series to brag about probably but it's not his fault, the playoffs are a crap shot. People need to grow up and accept what is and what isn't. The day I see one of u guys break up a World Series team is the day I will have respect for u amaro bashers.
I should get some leeway here.
I was bashing Dummy Amaro long ago before bashing was cool.
I don't work for NASA but you could see his tendency to hoard his guys and over pay.
And have little respect for others.
In 10 years Gillick will be seen as a genius who handed DAJ the best hand possible.
DAJ messed it up.
He will not be remembered fondly.
Unless somehow this team or next years wins the world series.
Magic 8 ball says: highly unlikely
"the best hand possible"? That's a stretch, actually. They won in 2008 despite not being the best team, when they were all already well into their primes. The starting lineup, C to RF: 29, 28, 29, 29, 33, 31, 27, 29
Gillick didn't exactly hand Amaro a team of young studs that he could ride into their prime. Amaro didn't help the age issue with the Ibanez acquisition, but by Amaro's first opening day in 2009 they were already mostly 30 year olds.
And any discussion of them holding on to the core has to include the owners as well. Also, Amaro's contract runs through 2015, so more than likely we have this year, next year, and the one after that to chat about our favorite GM.
Completely agree.
Obviously RAJ isn't the greatest GM. Obviously. But if we grabbed at least on more title from 2009-2011, what do we really have to complain about?
I mean christ, we had a 102 win season not but 2 years ago. And guess what? We ran into a hot team and couldn't even make it out of the 1st round. Happens all the time.
The expectations of this team have become so inflated it's ridiculous. Or maybe ppl only started watching this team from '07 onward. Either way, the lack of perspective is obscene.
Nah.Roots – Exactly. I wonder how many of these people even have any idea what it was like to go through all those desperate dry periods where the team flat out sucked. I'm all for expectations but only with the caveat that those expectations just can't be met a lot of the time. You think this fanbase is having a hard time right now?? I just wonder how bad it is up in NYC where the Yankees are floundering and probably won't make the playoffs for the first time in umpteen billion years. Talk about expectations.
Yankees fans are furious. And don't forget Washington, where they were anointed a world championship on paper before the season even started. The (few) baseball fans down there are very unhappy.
One day fans will come to understand just how rare, and precious, a chance to win it all is.
And look at the Giants, too. 2 titles in 3 years, last year being one of them…and this year they are struggling mightily. I'm sure San Fran's expectations for this year were huge.
Lets not kid ourselves here gillick made the trade that gave us a World Series in the lidge trade besides that Ed wade was the guy that put the team together. Gillick got out at the right time so now he looks like a god. Put his trade for Freddy Garcia against any of the moves amaro has made.
2009: Cliff Lee for basically nobody
2010: Roy Oswalt
2011: Trade your 2 best prospects for a free swinging, marginal outfielder, Hunter Pence.
There's plenty more from the Amaro regime, too many to count.
Pence is a fine player and a good addition. There was just no real reason to acquire him at that time.
And put Gillick's Eaton signing, or the Geoff Jenkins signing against any of Amaro's FA signings. That was something close to thirty million dollars for two who were released before their contracts were even up, who added almost nothing to the team when they actually played.
Well, I gotta give Jenkins a pass of sorts. After all, he DID get that leadoff double to start things off in Part II of Game #5 in the '08 Series.
On a positive note, Asche made a nice defensive dive and throw last night and Ruf has reached base sagely in 28 consecutive games since last September. Ok, now my positive Phillies thought tank for the day is empty.
I meant "safely." I hate iPhone auto correct with a passion.
I really don't understand if the best team didn't win who was the best team and why didn't they win?Pro sports is about one thing, winning if you win you are the best team at that moment in time. Amaro got the world champions and since then they haven't been. It's really that simple.Don't care about war,era or any of that crap, you win and who cares about any stat but you won your last game when it counted.
Not sure what this is in response to, but lesser teams win short series all the time. The Royals took 3 out of 4 from Baltimore last week — does that make KC the better team? If Houston beats Baltimore tonight, they will have won the series — does that make Houston the better team? To me the better team is determined over the full season, and in 2008 the Phillies were not the best team that year. They got hot at a good time, won the WS, and will always be the 2008 world champions of baseball. The 2006 Cardinals weren't that good for most of the year, but snuck in and then got hot.
Amaro was handed a very good team that was well into their prime and arguably already heading into their decline phase, and improved the team by acquiring very good pitchers to supplement the core offensive players. The fact that they couldn't win enough short series to grab another championship is frustrating and regrettable, but certainly not something I can pin on Amaro.
Again, that's not to say that he hasn't made mistakes, or that there aren't better GMs.
And now here's something you'll really enjoy.
A day after reaction to the long filibuster of buy or sell that resulted in NOTHING!
Just what we need…more trade season commentary.
But alas, perhaps from a fresh perspective.
Since the 2013 Phillies have an ability to lure folks into sidebar conversations, you'll recall the recent reaction to James O.B.P. Basebaths proclamation of an interest in setting Phillie team records, and/or moving up same lists. While that set of verbiage was denounced here yesterday, out of our bleeding heart liberal leaning to consider timing and context, allow that to be included in Jimmy's perspective, albeit perhaps overstated at the time
You think THAT's a problem?
Are yous kidding me?
The freaking administration feeling THAT way, times a large portion of the roster is comical. It in a way exemplifies how an incredible number of American (and presumably global) companies succeed in spite of themselves.
Here are the head honchos heaping heavenly praise on the character and personality of Chase Utley and not speaking to the specifics of what they project out over a would be 2 or 3 year sigmning in terms of production. Supposedly, Brian Cashman calls the Phillies and is told Carlos Ruiz is off the table. If you're gonna keep him for a year, why isn't he signed already to give us all peace of mind. The beloved GM claims to have not been offered enough value for Mike Young. Puhleeze. How much is not enough? Preytell, what value does he have to this franchise at this point for the next 2 months.
So to whatever degree it is, like Rollins was interpreted to feel, how can you tell me the club doesn't demonstrate warped values as Jimmy was accused of possessing.
The amazing conclusion of it all is that for the shades of wild rennigade that Jonathan Papelbon can represent at times, he seems to be in a minority within the confines of the organization that gets it. From the top, voiced Papelbon. And correctly so, for my money.
RAJ financially handicapped himself, an issue he won't have next year. Even if you count the Cuban pitcher they'll have over $40 million to use. let's see what he does.
I wish people would get over the non-trades of Young and Ruiz. In the case of Young, it's pretty hard to swing anything in an hour, and NOT ONE OF US knows just what was offered for him. Amaro may have turned down a prospect who projected as a future Long Island Duck. Better to wait for a real offer in a waiver trade, or have him man first when Asche is at third and Ruf in left. He certainly hits a lot better than the other 1st base option, the beloved Laynce Nix.
In the case of Ruiz, just who would catch if he wasn't retained, at least for now? None of the prospects in the Phils' system are ready, or even close to ready, Kratz isn't known as a good defensive option or a good caller of pitches. And after Kratz, there's no backup.
I've been singing that same song about Ruiz for awhile now. Just WHO would catch? Seriously…has ANYONE really thought of that?
I can still catch. As long as someone can help me up from the crouch after each pitch.
Wait…I thought you were a Hall of Fame pitcher. You can catch, too??

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Calls two-car draft 'silly
By Bob Pockrass
Saturday, April 16, 2011
TALLADEGA, Ala. – Dale Earnhardt Jr. wasn't worried about qualifying Saturday at Talladega Superspeedway or even about how he will handle the two-car draft in Sunday's race.
He plans to go out and race a style of racing he isn't all that fond of and just do his best in the Aaron's 499.
"I don't really like the two-car stuff, it's just silly," Earnhardt Jr. Said prior to qualifying Saturday. "I don't think that much into it. You've just got to find somebody to push and just push them. … I'm hoping this kind of racing goes away fast so we don't have to talk about this no more. This is a bunch of crap."
Earnhardt Jr., who has five career victories at Talladega but none since 2004, qualified fourth but said prior to qualifying that he wasn't all that concerned about where he started the race.
"Everybody's cars are the same," Earnhardt Jr. Said. "It's however you push and, I don't know, they're all the same and you just go out there and push somebody around the race track."
Does he have a strategy?
"I'll just try harder not to wreck," Earnhardt Jr. Said.
Earnhardt Jr. Said he will have his Hendrick teammates and Stewart-Haas Racing drivers on his radio and will try to hook up with them in the draft.
He doesn't mind drafting, but believes the two-car draft looks strange and he doesn't like the fact that two-car drafts are about 15 mph faster than cars running alone and faster than cars in a big pack.
Earnhardt Jr. Stopped short of criticizing NASCAR for the new rules.
"I don't know whether I'm right or wrong," Earnhardt Jr. Said. "I just know what I prefer, what I like. It's my opinion. I'm entitled to one.
"You remember when we would go out to practice and even the few fans that are here Thursday and Friday, that's pretty interesting to them. How interesting was practice yesterday? Everybody thinks it's cool now because it's new and it's neat and wow, what's going on?
"Everybody is getting a big kick out of it. But in the long haul, it's not the best. It's not as good as 40 dudes in one pack racing like #### trying to get to the front. It's nowhere near as good as that."
While Earnhardt Jr. isn't all that enthused about racing this weekend, he has had some good laughs this week, particularly with a video of him playing a prank on employees at JR Motorsports, who were sent to get a drink out of a cooler and a fake snake popped out.
Among the victims of the prank, which took place during the shooting of a commercial for Nationwide sponsor Suave, were his JR Motorsports crew chief and team co-owner Tony Eury Jr. As well as JRM driver Aric Almirola.
"We had a lot of fun pretending we were going to interview them and figure out a way to get him in that cooler," Earnhardt Jr. Said. "Some people were not scared at all and some people I was surprised at how big of a reaction we got from some others

Give Kids a Smile Day, held on Friday, February 28, 2014 at the JBECDM, helped 75 children in need and provided over $30,000 in treatment. Approximately 100 volunteer dentists, students, hygenists and staff participated.
Give Kids a Smile Day is designed to provide free and accesible dental care to local chidren in need. In addition, its goal is to raise awareness of the epidemic of untreated dental disease occurring locally and nationally and create local public and private partnerships to increase access to oral health care to solve this crisis.
The James B. Edwards College of Dental Medicine has been hosting Give Kids A Smile events for 12 years in the community as a way to provide free dental care to local children who desperately need it.
The American Dental Association (ADA) began the Give Kids A Smile program in 2003 as a way for ADA members to join with others in the community to provide dental services to underserved children. Each year, approximately 450,000 children benefit from more than 1,500 events, all because of the efforts of 40,000 or more annual volunteers nationwide.
Give Kids a Smile Day 2014 at MUSC, lead by Dr. Katherine Renne, was another success. For those interested in getting involved or partnering with MUSC for future Give Kids a Smile days, contact the MUSC Pediatric Dentistry Clinic at 843-876-8815.

Thirty-two years after Terry Fox inspired a nation with his Marathon of Hope, his spirit of determination lives on in the hearts of thousands around the world who take part in the annual Terry Fox Run.
© Herald photo by Matt Gardner
Mayor Jim Scarrow (left) and CKBI radio host Don Mitchell trade memories of their time organizing the Prince Albert Terry Fox Run. This year's event includes both a triathlon starting at Frank J. Dunn Swimming Pool and the traditional Terry Fox Run at Harry Jerome Track.
Mayor Jim Scarrow, then manager of CKBI, and his radio host Don Mitchell organized the first Terry Fox Run in Prince Albert only months after Fox succumbed to cancer in 1981. Mitchell said the runner's tragic early death helped bring Canadians together.
"People started to realize, okay, here's this young kid who went out and did this pretty much on his own," Mitchell said. "We all know somebody who has cancer and has been affected by it, so it would affect a lot of people … right across Canada."
Scarrow pointed out that when Fox began the Marathon of Hope to raise money for cancer research, he was an unknown figure who attracted relatively little media coverage and was accompanied only by his friend and brother.
"It started really slow," Scarrow said. "I think probably because most people figured he'd poop out somewhere in the Maritimes. And then all of a sudden, the media started to go — because we were both in media — and you could just see this thing swelling, and it seems to me that when he crossed into Ontario, the thing just exploded."
In Ottawa, Fox met with Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and performed the ceremonial kickoff at a Canadian Football League game. A massive buzz had built, and when he entered Toronto, the city came to a virtual standstill.
Runner Elizabeth Moar, who is co-organizing the 2012 Prince Albert event with Vern Hodgins, underscored the immensity of Fox's task.
"I run marathons and I have two perfectly healthy legs," she said. "For this young man to run a marathon every day, day after day, with his stump bleeding … through any kind of weather — as I say, I've run a marathon, but I didn't get up and run another one the next day, and the next day (and the) next day."
After Fox's death, Scarrow compared the resultant pall cast over the country to moments like the assassination of John F. Kennedy. But the grief shared by so many Canadians quickly translated into action to honour their fallen hero's legacy.
As key media figures in Prince Albert who shared building space with the Canadian Cancer Society, Scarrow and Mitchell were ideally placed to help organize the city's first Terry Fox Run. It took place in Little Red River Park and attracted at least 425 runners and a couple hundred more spectators.
I don't know of another hero that we've got in Canada that would even come close. Mayor Jim Scarrow
"The first year was kind of a 'let's get this done and going,'" Mitchell said. "But I remember the flatbed trucks … and the music and the people came out. It was just a festival atmosphere."
Scarrow added, "There was a lot of emotion in the crowd. I think we had a prayer, and then it was a beautiful fall day, as I recall."
Following the successful 1981 run, the next year saw an even larger turnout, with more than 625 runners.
Since the fervor of those early years, attendance at the main Terry Fox Run has decreased somewhat. But according to the Terry Fox Foundation, 73% of donations now come from runs sponsored by schools and the corporate sector.
"The fact … that it's still going so strong around Canada and around the world after 32 years, I think that's amazing," Hodgins said. "I don't think there's anything wrong with the schools carrying the weight of it now, because that means young people are learning the message and teachers are teaching it to young people and showing them the videos.
"When you talk about things like courage and perseverance and endurance and never giving up, what better message is there to teach kids at school than that?"
Scarrow was unequivocal in his assessment of Fox: "I don't know of another hero that we've got in Canada that would even come close."
The 2012 Prince Albert Terry Fox Run includes a triathlon starting at the Frank J. Dunn Swimming Pool at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 16 as well as the formal run at the Harry Jerome Track in Prime Ministers' Park beginning at 2 p.m.
Mitchell stressed that the "run" is also a "walk" and encouraged families and children to come out. Pledge forms are available at Canadian Tire, some banks, and local recreation facilities including the Margo Fournier Centre, Art Hauser Centre, Alfred Jenkins Field House, and Frank J. Dunn Swimming Pool.

OVAE Welcomes Emily Ferlis
Presidential Management Fellow Emily Ferlis recently joined OVAE's Division of Adult Education and Literacy (DAEL), as a management and program analyst. Her areas of specialization include data-driven professional development and research on youths and adults with limited English proficiency and specific learning disabilities. Ferlis holds a doctorate in instructional leadership from Virginia Commonwealth University, a Master of Science in TESOL from the City College of New York, and a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Virginia.

She served as an English Language Fellow for the Department of State, for which she presented TESOL teacher training seminars in Bulgaria, Estonia, and Serbia.
Change in Immigration Policy May Increase Enrollment
On June 15, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a new immigration policy granting deferred action for two years to to those subject to potential removal from the U.S. The deferment is renewable and, if granted, may provide eligibility to apply for employment authorization. To be eligible, immigrants under age 30 must document that they were brought to the U.S. under the age of 16, do not present a risk to national security or public safety, and have continuously resided in the U.S. for the past five years. In addition—and this criterion may impact enrollment, including for community colleges and adult education programs—the policy states that eligible individuals "Are currently in school, have graduated from high school, have obtained a general education development certificate, or are honorably discharged veterans of the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the United States." DHS has 60 days to implement the policy and is not yet accepting applications. Please watch for updates at uscis.gov or call 1-800-375-5283. OVAE Connection will announce when more information is available.
The Power of Certificates as Credentials
A recent report from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, Certificates: Gateway to Gainful Employment and College Degrees, proposes that "In an American economy where the advancement of technology and globalization means that a high school diploma alone is no longer able to provide family-sustaining earning to many, certificates represent one piece of a multi-pronged solution on the road to a workforce with 60 percent postsecondary attainment," This column reviews the major findings in the report.
Although postsecondary certificates vary widely in the benefits they provide, the report finds that since they tend to encourage further education and college completion, they have become a cost-effective means of enhancing postsecondary educational attainment as well as gainful employment. Even if only certificates with "clear and demonstrable economic value"—certificates with returns at least 20 percent above the earnings of the average high school graduate—were counted toward postsecondary attainment, the United States would "move from 15th to 10th in postsecondary completions" among OECD countries for 25- to 34-year-olds. (See executive summary.)
There are wide variations in the economic returns of certificates. While those with college degrees earn, on average, more than those whose highest attainment is a certificate, many certificate holders do earn more than those with bachelor's degrees. Among male certificate holders,39 percent earn more than the median male with an associate degree and 24 percent earn more than the median male with a bachelor's degree. Thirty-four percent of female certificate holders earn more than women with associate degrees and 24 percent of women with bachelor's degrees.
These earnings premiums depend on certificate holders working in their fields of study. For example, in computer and information services, men who work in field earn $72,498 per year, which is more than for 72 percent of men with associate degrees and 54 percent of men with bachelor's degrees. Women in the same field earn an average of $56,664, which is more than for 75 percent of women with associate degrees and 64 percent of women with bachelor's degrees. Only 24 percent of men and 7 percent of women with certificates in computer and information services, however, work in-field. Working out-of-field is not atypical. Less than half (44 percent) of certificate holders work in a field related to their certificate training. Those who work in-field earn 37 percent more, on average, than those who work out-of-field.
Other findings worth noting: (1) certificates lead to higher salaries for men than for women; (2) a higher percentage of African-Americans hold certificates than any other racial or ethnic group, yet African-Americans get the smallest earning premium from certificates; and (3) states vary significantly in certificate production.

Manchester City Under-18s 1
Newcastle United Under-18s 1
Newcastle United's under-18s returned to the North-East with a well-earned point following their 1-1 draw with Manchester City on Saturday afternoon.
The Magpies, who beat Adam Sadler's side 3-2 on Tyneside in January, led through Jonathyn Quinn's 17th minute strike before City levelled through a fantastic second-half effort from Jose Angelino Tasende.
England youth international Freddie Woodman, meanwhile, produced a superb performance between the posts for Dave Watson's side, producing a string a fantastic saves - including denying City from the penalty spot.
United's 'keeper was forced into action in only the second minute as Newcastle were hit on the counter-attack and the Blues forced a fine save from Woodman.
Kean Bryan then headed against the post for the home side as they looked the more likely to open the scoring but it was Quinn who was able to break the deadlock at the other end.
City were punished for failing to clear their lines as Quinn collected the lose ball and fired into the bottom corner, leaving goalkeeper Angus Gunn with no chance.
Midfielder Quinn, who netted the last minute winner over City in January, was then denied from point blank range as Gunn saved brilliantly to prevent United doubling their advantage in the first half.
The Citizens were almost level before the break, however, as Dom McHale's run into the box caused problems and brought a foul from United.
Hutton stepped up for Sadler's side and fired powerfully towards the bottom corner but the in-form Woodman stretched and pushed it wide to ensure Newcastle headed into the break ahead.
After the restart Woodman again denied City, pushing away Bryan's effort before McHale failed to convert the rebound.
It appeared that it was going to take something special to beat Woodman and Manchester City left-back Tasende duly obliged with a superb 25-yard effort going in off the post to draw his side level.
But the United shot-stopper was again in fine form soon afterwards, producing a superb double save in the 75th minute to continue to frustrate the home side. In the end City failed to find a second as United held firm to secure a well deserved point at Platt Lane.
Newcastle United Under-18s: Freddie Woodman, James Morgan, Macaulay Gillesphey, Ryan McKinnon, Lee Desmond, Greg Olley, Brad Halliday, Alex Gilliead, Rolando Aarons (Tom Heardman 65), Jonathyn Quinn, Adam Armstrong

A heavy hitter in trail running, the Brooks Cascadia 7 is built to handle pretty much any kind of terrain you can throw at it.
If you're looking for a rugged, traditional trail shoe, your options these days are getting a little sparse. While many lighter and lower shoes have been introduced to the category, our test of the Brooks Cascadia 7 proves that there are still many good reasons why a runner might want a more heavy-duty shoe.
The Cascadia is certainly not the lightest or most flexible shoe for the trail, but in return you get a shoe that will keep you chugging forward with confidence. The tread is particularly well suited for gravely or sandy trail environments, but can handle softer terrain as well. The long-lasting cushioning kept testers happy for extended runs, and in fact you'll still see the Cascadia on the feet of many ultrarunners who enjoy its combo of comfort and performance.
Testers liked the new upper. It looks great, and more importantly helps your foot to feel firmly anchored in place, thanks to the gilly lacing system. The transition from ground contact to toe-off was a bit abrupt according to a few testers, but on the other hand you feel very planted once the mid/forefoot has dug in.
It's a firm platform that doesn't provide a ton of ground feel, but frankly that's OK if you're tackling your umpteenth mile of mud, rocks or gnarly scree.
The Cascadia 7 felt a bit roomy through the midfoot, but at the same time the arch is a little higher than I generally prefer.
Not too many trail shoes have traditional cushioning these days. This works for everything from short runs to ultramarathons.
