Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is TLCAD?
What types of assistance dogs does TLCAD train?
- The At Ease Program is for Wounded Warriors
- The Leash-On-Life Program is for individuals with autism
Where do you get your dogs?
- San Diego County Department of Animal Services
- Rancho Coastal Humane Society
- San Diego Humane Society
TLCAD is not accepting dog donations at this time.
Does TLCAD use specific breeds?
How do you train your dogs?
TLCAD dogs are taught using only evidence based positive reinforcement training techniques. TLCAD dogs are never given harsh corrections or trained utilizing aversive equipment. Utilizing clicker training as part of the curriculum encourages the dog to offer appropriate behavior. This technique creates a stronger human/animal bond and a "thinking" dog, a crucial recipe for a successful service dog/handler team.
Who trains your dogs?
Prison inmates are taught by TLCAD training instructors to raise and train service dogs using TLCAD's training curriculum and only positive reinforcement training techniques. There are two inmate trainers assigned per dog. Instructors work with inmates on a weekly basis as well as with the community volunteers who take dogs out of the prison weekly for community exposure. The program was developed based on best practice standards in the industry and adheres to Assistance Dogs International (ADI) standards.
Why a Puppy Prison Program?
Due to the limited number of volunteers available to train service dogs, TLCAD has not been able to meet the demand for service dogs. The Prisoners Overcoming Obstacles & Creating Hope (aka POOCH) program allows for TLCAD to increase the number of service dogs available to those in need, in a shorter time, while providing an opportunity for self and community improvement within the prison system through the experience of training a dog. Research concludes that inmates who train dogs are less likely to re-offend. In teaching positive reinforcement to incarcerated individuals, TLCAD is able to more successfully fulfill its mission to transform lives through service dogs.
How is TLCAD funded?
TLCAD is funded by private & government grants, foundations, individual businesses & corporations, and individual donations.
What is the application procedure?
The first step in the application process is to complete the Pre-Application Summary Form. When we have a dog available for immediate placement, we will notify you. At that time, you will have the option of applying to interview for that particular dog. We have a limited number of puppies in training and receive a large number of applications, but we are working to take on more dogs at this time. When a dog is ready for placement, we screen and interview applicants whose needs match the strengths and skills of the dog. Once a match has been made, individualized placement typically takes 4-6 months. TLCAD trainers work with clients in all settings to teach them how to best utilize a service dog to mitigate their disability.
How long is your waitlist?/ How do you match applicants to dogs?
We do not have a waiting list but rather, an applicant pool since the matching of the dog's skills to the applicant's needs, along with the matching of their personalities, is very important for the long term success of the placement. At this time we do not place dogs outside San Diego County due to the intense need for follow up and custom training.
What does it cost to receive a TLCAD service dog?
If you are selected, the only fee is an initial processing fee of $500. At this time, we do not charge for our dogs, although it costs our organization anywhere from $10,000-$28,000 per dog (depending on the length of time the dog spent in training). We do encourage clients to make donations, sign media waivers, apply for funding from sponsors, and occasionally speak at events.
How long does each TLCAD service dog work?
The average working life of a service dog is ten years, however there are many variables that can affect this number such as the age of the dog at placement and the types of task behaviors the dog does on a daily basis.
Can you train my pet dog to be a service dog?
TLCAD does not train pet dogs to become service dogs. However, we do occasionally offer workshops on how to train your own service dog. When these workshops are offered, they will be posted on the website's home page, check back regularly.

The annual IndiEarth xChange, with four editions under its belt, is a must-attend event in India for industry professionals and fans of world music and indie acts. The three-day event spanning a weekend was held recently at The Taj Connemara Hotel in Chennai, and included a conference, workshops, film screenings and a music showcase.
The IndiEarth initiative, promoting independent musicians and filmmakers, was conceptualized by the founders of EarthSync India, a music label and film production company launched by Sastry Karra, Sonya Mazumdar, Yotam Agam and Kris Karra in 2004.
Industry insights
Panel topics at IndiEarth xChange this year included music markets, temple instruments of India, multi-disciplinary art events, music education, international touring, copyright, business models, digital media, audience engagement, recording dynamics and festival programming.
I took part in a panel on 'Media and the Arts: Finding an Honest Voice,' on the agendas and activities in music journalism, and the role of music journalists in shaping the ecosystem of artists, labels, venues and festivals.
A workshop on music journalism was conducted by Simon Broughton, editor-in-chief of Songlines magazine. Two other workshops were offered for DJs, and one titled 'Mindfulness for Creatives' by Australian musician and yoga teacher Phoebe Kiddo. Music producer Howie B held an open session; he is hailed as one of the original exponents and creators of trip hop, and has written the music scores for major motion pictures (including the closing title music to Scorcese's The Wolf of Wall Street).
The Queensland University of Technology presented the Indie100 Program, in which Australian producers Lachlan 'Magoo' Goold and Yanto Browning recorded, mixed and mastered the works of 10 indie bands.
A number of useful artist insights were offered during the three days of panel discussions. For example, musicians have to learn to be entrepreneurs as well, though many just want to do music. For legal reasons, artists need to make a habit of documenting their activities during tours, live gigs, recording sessions and collaborative performances.
Industry connections will help with international exchange of music tours and talent enrichment. Touring artists have to do more than perform – they should teach, do workshops, talk at panels and jam with other bands.
Roots music is about more than entertainment, it is about keeping folk cultures alive. Sometimes, roots music can be changed during performances for new or international audiences, but should not degrade the original messages and forms. World music artists should be proud of their indigenous traditions but need not feel they have to restrict themselves only to these genres.
Though new bands may find it hard to get audiences to download their music, they should try techniques like giving away a couple of tracks for free in exchange for users' email ids or social media connects. This can be used for deepening audience engagement and eventually converting them into becoming fans, influencers and evangelists – and ultimately paying customers of live music, merchandise or digital tracks.
Music venues and journalists have to figure out the balance between featuring established and emerging artists. There were also some hilarious suggestions at one of the panel discussions: what if smoke machines at gigs blew 'different' kinds of smoke?
The three-day indoor music showcases featured artists from a range of countries: India, Netherlands, Australia, Germany, UK, France, Reunion Island, China, Ireland and Denmark. Here are profiles and photos of some of the acts which I caught; the performances were held across three separate stages, and covered Indian classical, folk, roots, world, contemporary, alternative, and electronica artists (see my 2014 writeup here: worldmusiccentral.org/2015/03/18/indiearth-xchange-annual-showcase-of-world-music-and-indie-acts-in-india).
Day One
The first day of music shows kicked off with a hypnotic performance of Hindustani classical music by Saskia Rao-De Haas from the Netherlands. Now based in New Delhi, she has adapted the western cello with an additional set of sympathetic strings for Indian classical music.
Lakhan Das Baul from Kolkata performed a haunting set of baul music, derived from the mystic minstrels from rural Bangladesh and West Bengal, India. This music is devotional but at the same time does not identify with specific orthodox religious practices in the region.
The energy ramped up with qawwali music by the Hussain Group Qawwals from Hyderabad. Ustad Ahsan Hussain Khan Quadri has been performing traditional qawwali music for over 40 years, and is the son of the late Ustad Qurban Hussain Khan Sahab, a classical singer in the royal court of the Gwalior family. His son Adil Hussain Khan also joined him on lead vocals during their mesmerising performance.
A spectacular collaboration on percussion and dance was presented by the band Thappattam from Thanjavur. The folk troupe featured thunderous thappattam drummers, on the thavil drum (a barrel shaped drum) as well as nadaswaram (a double reed wind instrument). The powerful rhythms and percussive textures were enhanced by a bass guitarist and drummer, who drove the performance to a high-energy crescendo.
Other artists performing on Day One were Zoo (electro dream pop, from Kolkata), Black Letters (indie rock, from Bangalore) and Komorebi (electronica and chillstep, from New Delhi).
Day Two
The second day of live shows kicked off with Tajdar Junaid, a singer-songwriter from Kolkata, drawing on influences from India and the US. He has collaborated with artists such as Karsh Kale as well as Fred White from Acoustic Alchemy.
The Nagore Brothers from Nagore, south India, delighted the audience with a set of Sufi devotional music. The Nagore Brothers – Abdul Ghani, Ajah Maideen and Saburmaideen Babha Sabeer – sang in an ecstatic trance-like manner along with pulsating percussion.
The electronica performances began with Australian-born Phoebe Kiddo, now based in Berlin. She describes herself as a 'musical pilgrim,' and her set revealed a wide range of influences with synth and sub-bass textures. Her albums include 'Artefacts of Broken Dreams.'
Ravi Chary, a leading sitar player from Goa, performed an enchanting set of Indian classical music accompanied by Suphala Patankar on tabla. Ravi's father is the late Pt. Prabhakar Chary, a noted tabla player and musicologist. Ravi has also produced a range of fusion and world music albums, and has collaborated with artists like Salif Keita, Vikku Vinayakram, Ustad Zakir Hussain, and Robert Miles. He has performed at international festivals like WOMAD and Glastonbury.
Prateek Kuhad, a folk-pop singer-songwriter from New Delhi, then performed a set featuring some tracks from his recent album, Tokens & Charms. He has also been featured at Indian festival NH7 Weekender, and has toured in the US as well.
Howie B from the UK had the audience on their feet with his set of trip hop and dubstep. He has worked with a range of artists including Björk, U2, Mukul Deora and The Gift, and has been releasing music under his own name since the early 1990s.
Other artists performing on Day Two included Naezy (Indian rap in Urdu, fom Mumbai) and FuzzCulture (electronica duo from Delhi).
Day Three
The final day of performances kicked off with a melodic set of Carnatic music by violin maestro Lalitha Kalaimamani from Chennai. She hails from an illustrious family of musicians, and represents the fourth generation of musicians in her family. Lalitha has also performed in collaborative and fusion lineups, and has played at festivals in over a dozen countries around the world. Her passion is also keeping alive the story of traditional temple instruments in India.
Bo Bun Fever from France had the audience on their feet with an insanely high-energy set of mambo and other Latin music. The story of their formation is hilarious: the members of the trio met in Ko Phi Phi, Thailand, and after a wild night they discovered a strange inscription tattooed on their torsos in black Gothic letters: Bo Bun Fever!
The musical textures switched to Asia with the band Tulegur from China, presenting a blend of of traditional Mongolian music along with ethnic rock. The duo featured hypnotic throat-singing (khoomei) along with electronic music, best described as 'ethnic post-rock' or 'psychedelic nomadic rock.'
The musical tour then switched to Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean, with the band Ziskakan and maloya Creole traditions. Anchor Gilbert Pounia is a charismatic storyteller-singer and has spearheaded the band since 1979 across its international tours in North America, Europe and Asia. The lively music blended the sounds of Africa (especially Madagascar) and India. Maloya was once banned under French rule, but has been kept alive and thriving by local artists.
Irish folk music and jazz-funk blended together in the next set by Aldoc from Ireland. It featured Alan Doherty on flutes and whistles, along with a high-energy lineup on bass, electric guitars and two electronica artists.
Do Moon ramped up the energy even more with a set of Afro House. The duo from Reunion Island blended groove, South African Ghetto House and maloya, and kept the audience on their feet swaying to their ocean sounds.
Another creative vocalist that night was Alo Wala, an American Punjabi who is now based in Copenhagen. The blend of electronica and hiphop with heavy doses of bass from Danish Copia Doble Systema also featured commentary and critiques of Asian and Western cultural mores.
Other bands performing on the last night included AsWeKeepSearching (post-rock, from Ahmedabad), Parekh and Singh (alternative pop, from Kolkata), The F16s (indie rock, from Chennai), Sandunes (electronica/dance, from Mumbai), Nicholson (live keyboards and electronica, from Mumbai) and Fuzzy Logic (live percussion and electronica, from Mumbai).
I also picked up a good stack of CDs from the performers for review and radio play. We look forward to the next edition of XChange already!

Meanwhile healer #2 is free casting on healer #1 and Tank. If the group changes focus to healer #2 the tank swaps guard to healer #2 and same thing happens again. Say everyone focuses on the Tank? Then he gets double healed from healer #1 and healer #2. No one dies. You need at least 5 players on the opposing team to have a chance at killing at least one of the trio. Meanwhile the rest of the opposing team has basically free reign to go about killing capping interrupting the team that it is almost impossible to do anything and the game becomes a bore. The only way to counter this is to have your own premade group, then you end up with a match where virtually no one dies and it's almost impossible to cap anything. 1 tank 1 healer isn't as hard to beat if you have the numbers but 2 healers and 1 tank played well is virtually impossible in pub. Compound that with the fact that because the matches are not death match they just come right back after you kill them and you have to start all over. Bioware needs to address this by either putting a timer on the guard swap or making returns on healing diminishing with multiple healers or limiting the number of healers in a match.
This entire scenario has absolutely nothing to do with premades...

Dower's time arrives
It was just about this time a year ago that a national college basketball writer picked Sam Dower as his breakout player of the year. As it turned out, Dower's teammate and good friend Kelly Olynyk had the breakout season.
Dower now seems primed for a big senior year, maybe even his own breakout season. (Side note: Dower's stats from his freshman-junior year are actually better than Olynyk's first two seasons as a Zag). The Bulldogs held their first media day of the season and the last media opportunity until Kraziness in the Kennel on Oct. 12, so I checked in with Dower on his preparation for his last season in a Zag uniform.
There's also a note on Ryan Edwards, the 7-foot-1 freshman from Montana. It's way too early for decisions on redshirts, but the guess here is Edwards gets some time this season -- in the 8-12 minute range -- filling in at center behind Przemek Karnowski.
Here's a link to my article that will run in Wednesday's S-R.
Also, a few more notes below.
--Adam Morrison spent a few minutes for interviews in front of the TV cameras. The former GU great has joined the staff as a student assistant. His father, John, dropped by midway through practice and said Adam is putting in a full day between his family, class schedule and coaching.
Asked if he ever imagined seeing Morrison in a GU coaching capacity, Mark Few chuckled and said, "I can't say, especially back in his playing days, I'd ever see him doing this. It's always neat as a coach to be pleasantly surprised with your ex-guys in any aspects of their lives, whether it's ending up happily married with kids or their careers. It's always pretty cool to be pleasantly surprised and I can say I'm pleasantly surprised with where he's at."
David Stockton said of Morrison: "It's great, the guy has done it. He really understands you. He's a great asset to have on the floor."
--Stockton on motivation from last year's accomplishments: "I think we're not looking to live up to that. We got a little taste of that and we want to go right back there and take it further."
--Rem Bakamus, the walk-on guard who became a crowd favorite last year, didn't practice. He has a sore knee from a first-day collision with Kevin Pangos and spent most of his time riding a stationary bike and shouting out instructions to some of the newcomers.

Wanting It All video is now live!
Stephen Leonard's Wanting It All video is now live! Check it out here:
"I think it's a real gift when a writer conveys a familiar human emotion in a way that makes me hear it like it's the first time. Stephen gave this experience to me with Wanting It All, weaving together some lines that simply made me melt. His voice is strong, solid, and sensual. For anyone who has ever questioned love, you will have this song on repeat." – Tony Award-Winning Actor & International Recording Artis, Levi Kreis

Picture: Moby talking about his new album and book at the Brooklyn Museum New York City, USA - 12.05.11
Dance music superstar Moby turned to his fans to help him decide on his upcoming single, because he had "no idea" which track to use as his next release.
The We Are Made of Stars hitmaker's latest album Destroyed hit stores in May (11), and the first track from the disc, The Day, was a hit among his fans.
And to ensure his next single is equally as popular, Moby asked his online followers to pick the song they wanted released.
In a post on his website, he writes, "Ok, it's time to pick the next single and I'd like to ask you if you have any thoughts. What should we have as the next single from 'Destroyed'? I have no idea. Thanks!"
His fans flocked to give their opinions and the star later revealed, "So, per your choice(s) - next single(s) will be 'After' and 'The Right Thing'. Thanks for choosing. Videos and remixes to follow."

Spanish for You! is series of multisensory courses for teaching beginning Spanish to children in grades 3 through 8 in either class or homeschool situations. Each course includes a text, lesson guide(s) (called guidebooks), worksheets, lots of audio assistance, and suggestions for games and activities.
Guidebooks for grade levels 3-4, 5-6, or 7-8 help parents and teachers differentiate instruction for the various levels. I reviewed the Fiestas package that covers all three levels with the three guidebooks included. (The publisher describes these programs as packages since they are sold only in packages as a combination of the various components required for each course.) The Estaciones package is also available for all three levels, and a smaller trial package, Viajes, is is also available. (It will eventually be similar in scope to the larger courses.) Fiestas and Estaciones both have a number of sub-themed chapters, so each of these will take from 24 to 30 weeks to complete. Viajes is a briefer study requiring only four to six weeks.
Pronunciation, common words and phrases, colors, numbers, and other basics are presented at the front of the Estaciones and Fiestas textbooks, with audio files and worksheets to accompany them. These can be used as needed.
Courses do not follow a required sequence. Instead, basic vocabulary, verb conjugations, and other grammatical structures, are presented within different contexts so that children begin to learn them as building blocks that can be assembled in various ways. This allows you to begin with your choice of themed packages rather than having to use them in a particular sequence. Of course, this means there is some overlap and repetition of concepts, but this serves as review and reinforcement if students are encountering something a second (or third) time. The program's design also makes it easy for students who might already know some Spanish to work alongside students with no prior exposure.
For each of the larger packages there is a softcover textbook and a suite of downloadable files (MP3 audio files and PDF files). This allows you to print out worksheets and other resources as needed. The entire text is read aloud in individual audio files so everyone can follow along with a lesson in the book. (The Viajes courses include an ebook rather than a softcover textbook.) Each course comes with only one textbook. While you might be able to share in your family, it would be much better to have a book for each student, and those can be purchased separately.
With Fiestas and Estaciones, you are able to purchase a complete package that includes all three guidebooks so that you can teach all of your children using the same program, or you can purchase packages for individual levels. Either way, all students work from the same textbook and listen to the same audio presentations of the textbook. However, the guidebooks provide different instructions, including different pacing of the lessons for each level. Activities are more challenging at upper levels. For example, in an assignment for week 16 for grades 3-4, students are given eight sets of two words such as "divertido, eres" with instructions to create and write sentences for each set. In contrast, an activity in week 14 for grades 7-8 gives students ten sets of "words" such as "we/bailar." They are instructed to conjugate the verb "bailar" so that it means " we dance," then write it in a sentence. You can see how this requires better mastery of verb conjugation. Older students are generally required to do more translation into Spanish and more written work than younger students.
Games, activities, and flashcards are used by all students. Instructions for each are in the textbook, and guidebooks direct you as to when you should use each of them. Flashcards really should be created and used by all students, but other activities are often optional. Among these are "Simon says," memory, bingo, and hangman type games along with interactive games such as "Draw and Guess," the "Frio y caliente" (hot and cold) search game, and vocabulary review. Flashcards are created using pictures from PDF files.
Guidebooks have detailed lesson plans for each day along with answer keys. These are very easy to follow without advance study or any prior knowledge of Spanish. You will need to prepare flashcards and, possibly, games in advance although you might have your children help with those. Additional games and activities are available for free at the publisher's website.
Since this is an introductory program, it "is designed to gently bring students into the language through listening, reading, speaking, and writing." It is not a grammatically intense program even though verb conjugation is introduced in the first lesson. Because it introduces some grammar, it isn't a strictly conversational approach. The goal is to help children become familiar with hearing and using the language with frequent, enjoyable lessons and activities. Ideally, you would have lessons four days a week, although you can condense it into fewer days per week. As children and parents both learn common phrases, they should practice using them at other times during the day.
Course author Debbie Annett has recorded the audio tracks that include the complete lessons in the text, basic pronunciation and vocabulary (e.g., colors and numbers), audio for "listening worksheets," and songs—she has a lovely singing voice. Annett describes the pronunciation as "middle of the road" Spanish. Pronunciations are clear and easy for "anglo" ears to understand rather than accented toward a particular form of Spanish. Generally, it's closer to what you might hear in Mexico than what you would hear in Spain. However, she teaches the second person plural conjugation forms, noting that they are used only in Spain. There is also an optional version of the audio files read by a native Spanish speaker; these might be used by advanced students who want practice listening to more strongly accented pronunciation closer to what they are likely to hear.
Books and PDF files are created/printed in black and white. Illustrations use a child-like style. Some students might like to color in some of the pictures, especially on the flashcards.
As I mentioned, I reviewed Fiestas, which has five lessons (or themed sections) on La fiesta de cumpleaños (The Birthday Party), El día de los muertos (Day of the Dead), Carnaval, (Carnival), La semana santa (Holy Week), and La feria de abril (April Fair). Explanations of the meaning of each fiesta are in the introductory section of the text. These lessons include vocabulary, phrases, and sentences related to each celebration, so students learn quite a bit about each one in a multicultural fashion rather than in a way that addresses the religious implications. Some parents might want to use the Estaciones study rather than Fiestas if they are uncomfortable with these particular celebrations.
Viajes (Travels) courses offer an inexpensive, short-term opportunity to try out this approach before purchasing one of the larger courses. Free mini-lessons and worksheets on the publisher's website offer another way to sample the material in advance, although they don't give you the feel for the complete program. Worksheets and mini-lessons work best as supplements to one or more of the courses.
The fact that you can reuse everything for multiple students makes Spanish for You! a bargain for those with more than one child, but even for a single child, the price is reasonable.

There are many reasons why a movie might be renamed when it's released overseas. More often than not, it's down to language barriers and lack of comprehension — but not for #Disney's upcoming animated movie, #Moana. As it turns out, Moana is also the name of a super famous Italian porn star, and it looks like there's only room for one in Italy.
Moana Pozzi was a well-known and revered figure in Italy, who passed away in 1994 at the age of 33. While she skyrocketed to fame as an erotic movie star in the early '90s, she was also known for being a media savvy and articulate woman who campaigned for better sex education, the legalization of sex work and even ran for the mayor of Rome in 1993, receiving 1% of the total vote.
More Moana news:
- Moana: Is The Backlash For Disney's New Animated Film Warranted?
- 7 Things You Might Not Know About Disney's 'Moana'
- First Reviews For 'Moana' Are In, And It Already Looks Like It's Gonna Be A Classic
Pozzi's unintentional involvement in the upcoming Disney movie was confirmed on Twitter earlier this week, after a CartoonBrew blog post theorized Pozzi was the reason behind Moana's name change in Italy and other parts of Europe:
Moana has now been renamed Vaiana — meaning "water from the cave" in Tahitian — in Italy, and Oceania (after the movie's location) in other parts of Europe (but that's mainly down to copyright issues over the word Moana).
Pozzi was so popular in Italy that she starred in her own animated movie (hence possible further confusion), called Moanaland, where she plays a porn star who exposes political corruption and takes down the Mafia. This plot differs somewhat to Disney's 16-year-old Polynesian heroine who is chosen by the Ocean to find the demigod Maui and save her people.
Moana is released on November 23, and stars Dwayne #TheRock Johnson as Maui and Auli'i Cravalho as Moana — or should we say, Vaiana. It's hard to say whether Pozzi would have minded her namesake being used in a kids' movie, but good thing they didn't rename it Moanaland instead.

Kukla's Korner Hockey

from Eric Duvall of the Tonawanda News,
It's football time again, and for Bills fans, that means it's the time of year where we get our hopes up….
One thing I could do without, though, is the pomp and circumstance surrounding the NFL's kickoff. Big-time musicians, fireworks, lasers — all to celebrate day one.
I greatly prefer the NHL, which usually starts its season under cover of darkness. Sportscenter keeps the game highlights to 30 seconds and about 45 minutes into its hour-long broadcast. Fine by me. This is hockey country and we don't much mind skipping the Faith Hill performance before a largely meaningless game nine months before a trophy is handed out.
Besides, I don't know a ton of hockey fans that would want to hear Faith Hill. The Tragically Hip singing "50 Mission Cap" is far more our style.

Lee Mill, United Kingdom (PressExposure) December 14, 2009 -- As Christmas approaches, and the nation's thoughts go to the brave men and women of the Armed Forces, 13 gorgeous 'real' girls have stripped for a racy Help For Heroes calendar, in association with sexy underwear retailer, Wickedelic Lingerie.

As part of her win, Susie won the chance to appear on the calendar cover, and become the face of Wickedelic Lingerie.
Susie said, "Britain has the bravest Armed Forces in the World, and I am so honoured to be a part of the Wickedelic Sweethearts calendar, raising money for the two most important charities in the UK right now - Help For Heroes and Combat Stress."
Wickedelic Lingerie [http://www.wickedeliclingerie.co.uk] boss and ex-Royal Marine, David Hildrew said, "I understand the physical and emotional strain the brave men and women of our Armed Forces go through, and it's a great source of personal pride for me that we are able to do our small bit, and raise funds for these two vital charities. All our 13 girls are stunning in their own ways, and Susie is a perfect cover girl, and a gorgeous girl to be the face of Wickedelic Lingerie."

The first nightly national current affairs program on Australian television, This Day Tonight was the brainchild of Ken Watts, federal director of ABC Television, who believed a live and lively current affairs show in peak viewing time could have an impact on the ABC's dismal ratings.
The first edition of This Day Tonight appeared on 10 April 1967. It was over-prepared, and full of lame jokes and stunts—many of them performed by Bill Peach, the first presenter. The second program was everything the first wasn't—lively, topical, fast-moving and offensive to the great and powerful. It included a bombshell prediction: that the government was going to drop the chairman of the ABC, Dr James Darling. The story angered the Holt Coalition government and infuriated the ABC's management, which had never permitted any discussion of Aunty's own affairs.
This Day Tonight was engaged in the first of many battles it would wage against authority. The program was not afraid to confront or uncover anything it deemed unfair or shady, including a procession of con artists. It was also willing to ask the hard questions of politicians and other figures of authority.
The public became interested in this unpredictable newcomer, whose name they quickly shortened to TDT. At the end of 1967, Sydney people rated TDT their favourite show, and the program continued to win a large share of the audience for its first five years. The commercial television networks then emulated TDT by starting their own prime-time current affairs programs. Although it officially ended in 1978, TDT lives on at ABC Television as 7.30.
TDT was an important training ground for some of Australian television's leading current affairs reporters, presenters and producers, among them Gerald Stone (who would go on to produce 60 Minutes), Mike Willesee, Stuart Littlemore, George Negus, Caroline Jones, Mike Carlton and Richard Carleton.
TDT contained many strands that later evolved into programs like Media Watch and The Chaser. If there was an underlying theme, it was the public's right to hear multiple points of view on any topic. TDT was also willing to bring an irreverent and witty approach to stories. And if a prominent figure declined to appear on the show, the presenter did not hesitate to say so—with the camera sometimes panning to an empty chair to reinforce the fact.
If TDT changed the face of Australian television, it also changed Australian attitudes—its 1971 debate about the controversial Vietnam War is one example, with the show interviewing draft resisters in the studio while police waited outside to arrest them. Critics said it was subversive and illegal; admirers said it was free speech in action.
During its time on air, TDT won numerous awards, including three Logies. A glow of nostalgia surrounds the program today. It was a defining program for a generation of baby boomers, and set a high standard for current affairs on television—one that continues on the ABC right up to the present day.

Who doesn't know Naya Rivera? She's a great singer and actress from USA (United States of America). She well known and became very famous and popular as an actress and singer since she got a chance to be involved in one of the most popular TV Show, Glee. When she was a little girl, she appeared in Kmart's commercial, and when she grew up, she became famous in several television show, such as Live Shot, Baywatch, House Blend, Even Stevens, Family Matters, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, The Master of Disguise and so on. Now she is 27 years old, and she rumored to be an actress who took a plastic surgery. So let's find out the truth about Naya Rivera Plastic Surgery.
As an actress, it's very normal for her to look better than before. And it's also important for her to enhance her appearance in order to get public attention. She can do everything to get a maximum result, such as buy a cosmetic, have a natural treatment, or even a plastic surgery. Now, if we look into her photos and videos about the differences between after and before plastic surgery, we can see there are some changes on her nose and her boobs. Her nose looks more pointed and her boob looks bigger.
Not like the other celebrities, Naya Rivera seems have standard procedures in her plastic surgery. She didn't take the over excessive plastic surgery that can turn her beautiful face into 'the weird' face. Even we don't know yet about the side effect about her nose and boobs job, but for now we can say that her plastic surgery is perfectly successful.
Some people said that her boobs isn't fit with his skinny body, it looks like she get a breast implant with a dangerous material. But I think it's perfectly normal, and she confirmed that she just used a standard material for her boobs job. However, she seems satisfied with her look right know. Her photos indicates that she always be happy for her new appearance. Now I think the best way she can do today is just to give a safe and consistent treatment for her body, so she can keep her appearance without any additional surgery.
So, that's it. That's all an article about Naya Rivera plastic surgery. I hope you guys can get inspiration from this article, and I hope Naya can perform well in every shows that she got after she took a plastic surgery.

New format has NSW eyeing national crown
NSW Country coach Jeff Cook says a change in the playing format will make the Australian Country Championships more even as the Bush Blues chase their first national crown since 2012-13.
Six teams will compete over nine days from Tuesday in the mens competition with seven teams including debutants NSW in the women's comp from January 6.
The two-day format has been scrapped and replaced by 50 over and T20 matches only, with all teams to meet one another in both formats.
South Australia are the defending men's champions after a thrilling final day in which four states including NSW Country were title contention.
But NSW Country didn't play the weaker East Asia Pacific in a two-dayer last year and missed out on the chance for a possible outright which would have been crucial in the final standings.
''This time with only T20s and one-dayers for everyone it is a more equitable,'' Cook said.
''We are on on a level playing field and playing only the shorter forms of the game should make it exciting and bring the teams closer together. Everyone will fancy their chance of beating one another which will mean very competitive cricket every day.''
Wollongong are hosting the championships for the first time with Figtree Oval, North Dalton Park, Keira Oval, King George, Hollymount Park and Uni Oval to hold mens matches, while Ziems Park and Judy Masters at Balgownie will also hold women's games.
No Illawarra player was selected in the NSW Country squad following a winless NSW Country Championship, but former Oak Flats stars Kieran Gray and Ben Mitchell are in the Bush Blues 14-man squad.
''Kieran is a very accomplished batsman who will get his chance, while Ben's left arm spin will be important throughout the tournament,'' Cook said.
''With just one rest day in nine days we'll need to rotate the squad.''
Cook won two Australian Country Championships in his time with the Bush Blues, with the Tamworth based batsman a highly experienced player having played many seasons in English County Cricket.
He took up coaching with Tamworth at the end of his career and brings a wealth of first class experience to the role.
The Bush Blues have six debutants and face Western Australian Country in the opening one-day round on Tuesday at North Dalton Park.
The first round (T20s) of the women's comp is on Friday January 6 with NSW taking on Queensland at Uni Oval No 1 from 6pm.
NSW Bush Blues squad: Peter Gallichan (capt, Central Coast), Tom Allen (Newcastle), Djali Bloomfield (Southern ACT), Pat Darwen (Newcastle), Nick Foster (Newcastle), Kieran Gray (S-ACT), Tom Groth (Central North), Kaine Harmsworth (C Coast), Jarryd Hatton (Riverina), Ben Mitchell (S-ACT), Jordan Moran (Western), Jonathan Nicoll (Riverina), Joe Price (Newcastle), Cameron Suidgeest (S- ACT).

Midterm "Zombies"
Yesterday as I was leaving my last class, a pretty funny thing happened that got me thinking. To set the scene for you, it was about dusk and there was a very warm stillness in the air that was decidedly eerie, yet comfortable. As I was walking quietly along Poly View Drive, something in the distance catches my eye. The lighting was very twilight-zone-esque and I found it hard to see much -- but thought I could make out three bodies up ahead, sort of running after each other. As they got closer, I could clearly see three males, wearing what appeared to be ripped and bloodied t-shirts, with powdery white faces, blackened eyes, rotting teeth, and messy hair. Although I wasn't quite sure of what I was witnessing, a stride or two closer confirmed for me that this was indeed a zombie encounter. As "they" continued along in their hurried, limping zig-zag of a gate, I could hear them grunting and carrying on... heckling people as they went along. I was practically in stitches by the time they passed by me, and even squealed a little when the last character nearly staggered right into me. Whether this "zombie" encounter was the work of some Halloween hooligans, Cal Poly's student government, or was truly the return of the living dead... I may never know. I will say, however, that the experience reminded not to take myself so seriously. Especially in the midst of midterms, it's important to have a belly laugh or two. Even at my most frazzled, I simply can't help but feel better after a good dose of laughter, and yesterday was no exception. So to all my fellow Mustangs out there, I wish you the best of luck this week with your midterms and advise you to keep an eye out for those zombies!

Threats to Kassadin with this build
|Dodge Q, jump over wall, jump out of ult. May not be able to kill her, but you can zone her and scael harder. make sure to push in and roam.
|Not much to be said, you scale harder and he has no waveclear w/out ult. If he uses ult for waveclear punish him
Hello my name on the NA server is Ericles, I love to play mid lane assassins. You may ask: "Why Kassadin, isn't he absolutely useless because of his minuscule ult range?" In fact despite Rito's shortcomings they did give his ult reduced mana cost an AP ratio and buffed his W. Kassadin superbs in countering mages and the infamous Katarina. His kit from bottom to top counters magic damage ability reliant champions. With season six just around the bend, ADCs are ridiculously strong, and the mid game is where the game's fate is decided. Therefore, Kassadin's crazy burst and mid game powerspike would be extremely relevant in deleting enemy carries and carrying the mid game.
Summoner spells
Why teleport over ignite?
Teleport offers you all the extra map presence and back door potential you need, and allows you a free back or more in lane. Whereas ignite offers some kill potential. Safety first ;)
Why flash?
That is not even a question. the question is: Is it on F or D?

Start Q to trade/harass/farm this is your main spell to be using pre-6 where you are practically useless with no gap-closer. Ty to farm up for your catalyst and DON'T DIE! Take W at level 2 unless your are against someone like cassiopeia, who spams spells and will need to be peeled away, in which case you would take E. Use your W for mana sustain so you can throw Qs without going OOM. Dont try to kill your laner unless they step within flash combo range within ~30% hp.
Early Levels (1-3) Against Most Melee
Take W against another all melee mid and Q against a melee mid with ranged spells (i.e. Zed). Farm up but look for trades with W AA reset. You can consider maxing W in lane over Q to fight them off ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE AD.
Take a point in your ult at level 6 and look for roams. You should start maxing E starting at 7 for the extra wave-clear. you can use your ult to move across the map but keep an eye on your stacks. Snowballing bot lane will skyrocket your chances of winning. If you can a coordinated gank with your jungle could turn bot lane from a 2v2 into a 4v2.
Mid Game (15-20min)
You should have ROA and should be planning your next item based on the situation. Buy Zhonya's for teamfight's, Lich bane for assassination, Luden's for wave-clear... (etc). Your goal is to kill their ADC in every fight or keep him shut down, prioritize the enemy's to threat level to YOUR ADC. So probably a riven and a talon would be high n the list.
Ranked Play
Don't flame at your team, mute them if you have to. Don't tilt, play smart, play safe. And carry their sorry ***es.

Do any of these thoughts sound familiar?
It is possible for you to kick these thoughts to the curb.
How do I know?
Because I have been where you stand.
I used to struggle with self-love too. My inner critic would point out my flaws and mistakes all day.
I would constantly compare myself to others, people-please and desperately seek approval.
I settled for the wrong men, jobs, friends and an unfulfilling life. I would diet and punish my body, and never felt pretty, confident or good enough.
No matter how hard I tried to improve or be perfect, I could never fill the void inside of me.
Then I went on an intense period of self-discovery, training as a life coach, studying personal transformation, and creating my own step-by-step process to build self-love and worth.
My whole life changed – I met my soulmate, found my dream career, made friends, lost weight, improved my finances, and found confidence.
But very best of all – I FINALLY feel like enough. Now I love who I am. I feel whole and worthy and deeply satisfied with my version of an amazing life.

[cruiser] In response to that article, http://news.sky.com/story/976612/romneys-gold-standard-idea-is-madness
The current banking system and the current currency system works so well. We have nearly destroyed the world with all of corruption, so lets stay with it. The U.S was seconds away from becoming a 3rd world country in 08, and if not for one thing and one thing only, the fact that we could print out as much money as we could to fix the problem.
Keep screwing things and until it is destroyed. Now all of the other countries of the world have had enough and people in the news want to criticize them. The changes are happening, whether news reporters want to believe it or not. There are very smart people involved with this and have thought of every case scenario. Years and Years of tweaking. Years of adjusting. Years of fighting the thieves and cheats.
Want proof of that, just ask a dinarian, who has endured all of this.Now that the system is in place, those that do not understand want to criticize. Have at it I say. It is only a matter of time before it is all unveiled and with that, Not one of us here, will give a crap to what so reporter has to say ever again.

Appeals court suspends proceedings over Trump's travel ban after announcement new order forthcoming
A U.S. appeals court on Thursday suspended proceedings over President Donald Trump's travel ban for individuals from seven Muslim-majority countries, after Trump announced a new executive order would come soon.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had been mulling whether to reconsider its ruling temporarily suspending Trump's directive. In a court order, the 9th Circuit said it would put that process on hold pending further developments.

In 1981, when my mom got stage-four breast cancer, I remember going with her to the hospital for her to get chemotherapy. I was 11 years old. Each time we went, the receptionist made sure to tell my mom she owed money on her bill. I remember the receptionist being angry, but most of all I will never forget how upset Momma was as the receptionist embarrassed her (as there was a full waiting room).
My mom was the sole provider of my family. She worked 50-plus hours a week, yet never had enough money to have health insurance. All my mom wanted was to have the chance to live and to be there for her children.
After her chemo treatments, Momma would have to pull off the road to throw up at least twice before making it home. She told me they had medicines to help her, but she couldn't afford to pay for them. I cannot tell you how she suffered. She never wanted to steal or take anything from anyone. She was only fighting for her life.
WHEN HER CANCER returned in 1985, her doctor wanted her to do radiation and chemo. Because she had a pre-existing condition (having already had cancer), no insurance company would take her. When my mom died in 1986, after months of being in excruciating pain, she owed more than $200,000.
While she could, she paid $200 a month toward her bill, but it never made a dent compared to the bills she was accruing. The amount she owed was huge in 1986, and I know there were, and are, many others like her. That's a lot of money that we as taxpayers end up paying – even before Obamacare.
I feel very strongly as an American we need to make sure each of us has health insurance, because no child should ever see their loved ones suffer because they can't afford medical care. The billions of dollars of unpaid bills that already exist is a huge reason many of us are forced to pay more – and more than many of us can afford, that's for sure.
PRESIDENT OBAMA'S health-care plan actually will reduce the amount of unpaid health-care bills, which ultimately will reduce the amount we are all paying. If we are not helping our fellow Americans get health care, whether we like it or not, the amount of unpaid bills will continue to increase, which will affect us all anyway.
The bottom line for me is that everyone deserves quality health care. No one should have to suffer because they can't afford medicine, nor should they have to choose death because they can't afford treatment. I feel strongly that my mom would be here today if she had had that opportunity of good health care.
Each and every life that exists is special. I would never suggest that if one has no money then one deserves their fate of possible death. I will never succumb to the ideology that it is those with money who deserve not to suffer. Sometimes we are unlucky. Sometimes "loving thy neighbor" isn't so easy – but it's the right thing to do. It's what I call being a mensch.
(The writer is an Augusta resident.)

Driver and pedestrian identified in crosswalk accident at 11th and New Hampshire
My middle daughter almost got hit twice today. While riding her bike legally on the sidewalk at a cross walk that had the walk sign for her. Cars turning right decided they didnt want to wait after she was half way thru the walk. Good thing we have drilled into her that she needs to be cautious of the cars turning while she rides. Accident averted barely.
I hope this young girl heals well and gets home soon.

Sick and tired of the waiting game
Yeah, such a baited article! Why couldn't you pick someone with real disabilities.
Did you know there is a six year wait for your child to receive help if he or she has autism and that is only if they qualify. My daughter is disabled(not autism just so you know) and its sad we cant get her any help till shes like 15 (she is 7 now) with all the waiting lists. If we could get her help now maybe she wont end up living off the state. But no all these poor children are not getting services they desperately need. Not only is are there waiting list but there is no clear place to start looking for help. Every place i have talked to has told me to "try somewhere else, we don't handle that."
SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE! NOT JUST FOR SERVICES IN THE COMMUNITY BUT ALSO IN THE SCHOOLS. Dont even get me started on that!!!

Advocates for those with disabilities rally for funding
My child will be one of those many many people added in the next year to this long list. I was told its a five year waiting list for services that my 6 year old could benefit from now. Services for children with disabilities are expensive, with out help my 6 year old probably wont receive all the services she needs just because we cannot afford to get them to her out of pocket.
Thank you to all who rally together to help those that need it most.

Classclown 10:10 a.m. update
An update just released from the city says that all roads in Lawrence, including residential roads, have been treated with sand and/or salt.
Apparently Lawrence no longer considers my street to be part of the city. Was there a major de-annex that I'm not aware of? No salt/sand truck has come by.
Must of been cause our street has not been touched either by salt/sand trucks.

Owls eye Scottish starlet
By Paul Higham
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The Scotland Under-21 international defender will train with The Owls squad in a bid to impress Hillsborough boss Chris Turner.
The 21-year-old is in the Scotland squad to face Denmark next week and could earn himself a move to Division Two should he impress Turner.
"Andrew Dowie has come down from Scotland to train with us, and a decision will be made soon," said Turner.
Turner is looking for a second signing after handing defender Chris Brunt a two-year deal after originally joining on trial from Middlesbrough.
"Chris is the sort of player we'll look to build the team around, and the sort we're trying to bring in," added Turner.
"The fans have already taken a liking to him. We're targeting young players at Premiership-class clubs who are not getting any leeway at those clubs, and we've had several lads here on trial over the last few weeks.
"Our academy director, Mike Rigg, played a part in Chris coming here, after having conversations with other academy directors about players who were going to be released at the end of their scholarships."
