Our Team
Cosmetic and Family dentist in Seattle, WA
Donna, Registered Dental Hygienist
I became involved with dentistry in 1999. The field grabbed my interest immediately, beginning with insurance/front office work. I then progressed to a dental assistant, and finally a dental hygienist which I have been for 14 years now. Olympic View Dental is a fun and professional environment where patients receive outstanding dental care. All of our employees are dedicated to providing exceptional individualized treatment in a safe and comfortable manner. Being a dental hygienist means that I get to educate my patients and care for their oral needs. Building a trusting rapport by listening and being sensitive to each and every patient's specific needs is very important to me. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, golfing, hiking, skiing and partaking in the many outdoor activities our area has to enjoy.
Meagan, Registered Dental Hygienist
I graduated from Columbia Basin Dental Hygiene School in 2014 and have been working for Dr. Chilton for 4 years. Although fairly new to the hygiene position, I have worked at Olympic View Dental as a sterilization technician on and off for the past 8 years and I couldn't ask for a better office to work at. Having the opportunity to help patients reach their dental goals and building trusting relationships along the way gives me pride in my work. I enjoy coming to work every day and I love what I do! Our team strives to provide our patients with the best care and I couldn't be more grateful to be a part of it.
Corinne, Registered Dental Assistant
I have been in the dental field for 13 years and 12 of those have been working side by side with Dr. Chilton. I have to say that every year gets better and better. As a dental assistant I try to make each and every one of our patients feel comfortable and surrounded by trust in any given situation. What I love most about Olympic View Dental is; we are not your normal dental office; we are more like a family. My favorite thing about dentistry is giving people the confidence to smile. I am a very caring and personable dental assistant and feel that my patients' really connect with that. Outside of work, I love spending time with my nieces and nephew, traveling, snowboarding and playing golf.
Maricella, Registered Dental Assistant, Certified Dental Assistant, Expanded Functions Dental Auxiliary
I have been a dental assistant since 2000 and started my career with Dr. Chilton in 2001. Working at Olympic View Dental has been a great learning and gratifying experience. Through the years and with the guidance of Dr. Chilton, I have expanded my knowledge in all aspects of general dentistry with my areas of expertise being in TMJ splint therapy, occlusion (how the teeth come together), and cosmetic provisionals for our patients that want to do full mouth reconstruction. In 2015-2016 I decided to take my career a step further and achieved my certification to be a licensed Expanded Functional Dental Auxiliary (EFDA) which allows me the great opportunity to have hands on with placing fillings on patients and aiding Dr. Chilton in superior patient care. I thoroughly enjoy my career and helping patients achieve their dental goals, as well as seeing their new smile change their lives. During my time off of work I enjoy being with my three children Antonio, DeAngelo and Valencia. I look forward to meeting all of you soon!
Carrie, Office Manager
I have been in the dental field since 1993. A smile says a million words and is one of the first characteristics I notice in a person. At Olympic View Dental, our patients always leave with a smile on their faces. We are a fun, outgoing office and work very hard to have outstanding patient rapport. As the Office Manager and Registered Dental Assistant, I have the opportunity to work with each patient in a very personable way. The patients at Olympic View Dental are what make my job an exceptional place to work! When I'm not working, I love spending time with my husband Beau and my three children; Jaiden, Cailin and Keira.

Dear Springs Families,
It is my pleasure to invite you to attend the 16th Annual Springs Charter Schools Parent IGNITE! Conference. The conference this year will be held in the following two locations:
|Tuesday, August 20, 2019
……Riverside Convention Center…..
3637 Fifth Street
|Thursday, August 22, 2019
Centerpoint Church
24470 Washington Avenue
We believe that all children deserve to be empowered learners and visionary people of the world, and that's no small job for our parents. This year we are celebrating the fact that there's no place like Springs! We delight in offering this annual kick-off conference to all our parents to inspire you, help sharpen your skills, and encourage you as you raise amazing adults!
Our IGNITE! Parent conference will focus on how the characters in the Wizard of Oz can lead the way in developing the heart to expect the best, the brains to work smarter, the courage to overcome our fears and the ruby slippers to "walk the talk" as we develop ourselves and our Springs Nation.
Five Things We Hope You'll Learn at The Wonderful Land of Springs:
• How to avoid the twisters and storms of schooling your child
• There are five love languages, and knowing your child's will help strengthen your relationship
• Everything's better over the rainbow!
• It's not where you go, it's who you meet along the way
• Everything you're looking for was right here all along
We are pleased to welcome our Keynote Speaker, Gillian Larson, who will inspire us on the journey of raising and schooling our children.
Our IGNITE! Conference is an opportunity for you to find "your heart's desire," including resources and ideas for the upcoming year. Our goal is to create an "Emerald City" full of inspired parents with the "heart, courage, smarts and will" to make this a terrific year for their children!
Looking forward to seeing you at Ignite! to kick off next year.

Early lifeEdit
Reynolds was born on July 14, 1987 in Las Vegas, the seventh of nine children (eight boys and one girl) of Christene M. (née Callister) and Ronald Reynolds, a lawyer and author.[9] Both are natives of Nevada, and Reynolds is a 4th generation Nevadan.[10] As a Boy Scout, he earned the rank of Eagle Scout in 2005.[11][12] Reynolds is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). When he was 19 years old, he volunteered full-time as a missionary in Nebraska for two years.[13][14][15][16]
Reynolds wrote the song "I Bet My Life" celebrating and reflecting on his enduring relationship with his parents.[17] Following his graduation from Bonanza High School, he attended University of Nevada, Las Vegas (after losing his ecclesiastical endorsement for Brigham Young University) and then transferred to BYU after serving an LDS mission, where he studied communications, marketing, and music and excelled academically.[18][19] While at BYU, he formed Imagine Dragons and won the school's battle of the bands competition before leaving to pursue music full-time.[20][a]
Imagine Dragons (2008–present)Edit
Reynolds was initially reluctant to become a professional musician, partially because future bandmate Wayne Sermon had once told him: "Don't do music because you want to do music - do music if you have to do music".[22] After he began attending Brigham Young University, Reynolds found that he could not "do anything else" and committed fully to a professional music career. In Utah, Reynolds met and recruited drummer Andrew Tolman to form Imagine Dragons.[23] With Reynolds as lead vocalist, Imagine Dragons won BYU's "Battle of the Bands" and other local competitions.[24] Bassist Ben McKee joined the band in Las Vegas and after Tolman's departure 2011 invited Daniel Platzman, also a friend of Wayne's from Berklee College of Music, to play drums, thus completing the group's current lineup. The band relocated to Las Vegas, where they began performing almost nightly as a lounge act.[13][25][26] It was there in 2010 that they caught their first big break when Train's frontman fell sick just prior to the Bite of Las Vegas Festival. Imagine Dragons were called to fill in for them and performed in front of a crowd of more than 26,000 people.[27] In November 2011, they signed with Interscope Records and began working with Grammy award-winning producer Alex da Kid.[28]
Imagine Dragons released their debut studio album Night Visions on September 4, 2012. The album was preceded by their first single "It's Time", released on August 18, 2012. Night Visions charted in the top ten albums in the U.S. in 2012, 2013, and 2014.[29] It won a Billboard Music Award for Top Rock Album and was nominated for a Juno Award for International Album of the Year.[30] The album's second single, "Radioactive", reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Radioactive" set the all-time record for the longest reign at the top of the Billboard Rock Songs chart, with 23 consecutive weeks and the all-time record for longest run on the Billboard Hot 100, with 87 weeks.[31] Rolling Stone called it "the biggest rock hit of the year".[32][33] It is the best-selling rock song in digital history, with sales of more than 7.5 million copies in the United States, and was certified diamond by the RIAA.[34][35] The third single, "Demons", reached #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is the eighth best-selling rock song in digital history with sales in excess of 5 million copies in the United States. Imagine Dragons were nominated for two Grammy Awards, Record of the Year and Best Rock Performance, the latter of which they won. They also won two AMAs for Favorite Alternative Artist, a Teen Choice Award for Choice Rock Group, a World Music Award for World's Best Rock Act, and a Billboard Music Award for Top Rock Artist. The band made their major festival headlining debut at the Made In America Music Festival in 2014 and also drew large crowds and positive reviews at festivals such as Lollapalooza Brazil in 2014.[36][37]
Imagine Dragons released their second album, Smoke + Mirrors, in February 2015. Smoke + Mirrors debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, UK Albums Chart, and Canadian Albums Chart.[38][39] Two of the album's four singles, "I Bet My Life" and "Shots", charted on the Billboard Hot 100.[40][41]
Imagine Dragons released their third album Evolve on June 23, 2017. Evolve debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and number one on the Canadian Albums Chart. Singles "Believer", "Thunder", and "Whatever It Takes", each of which have charted at number 4, number 4, and number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively.[42] Believer topped the Billboard Hot Rock Songs (29 weeks), Alternative Songs (13 weeks), and Adult Top 40 charts. Thunder also topped the Billboard Hot Rock Songs (22 weeks so far) and Alternative Songs chart (3 weeks so far), as well as the Mainstream Top 40 chart. Whatever It Takes topped the Billboard Rock Songs chart (17 weeks so far) and Alternative Songs chart (3 weeks).[43][44][45] In 2018, the band was nominated for two more Grammy Awards and received the iHeartRadio Music Award for Alternative Rock Artists of the Year.[46]
Imagine Dragons released their fourth studio album Origins on 9 November 2018.The album peaked #2 in Billboard's Top 200 Albums and its song "Natural" is on the list for the past 16 weeks at # 3 (33 weeks so far) and "Bad Liar" is # 8 (17 weeks so far) on the Billboard's Top 100 Rock Songs.
Egyptian (2010)Edit
When invited to perform an opening set for Nico Vega in 2010, Reynolds met Aja Volkman, the group's lead singer. He invited her to help him finish some demos he was developing.[47][48][49][50] The two began collaborating, and formed Egyptian.[48] They recorded, produced, and independently released a four track eponymous EP digitally. They have only performed this material once live.[51]
X Ambassadors (2013)Edit
In 2013, Reynolds discovered then unsigned alternative band X Ambassadors. After connecting with the band, he brokered a record deal for them with KidinaKorner/Interscope Records.[52] Dan co-wrote a few songs on their debut album VHS, which has gone on to achieve Gold certification by the RIAA.[53]
Night Street Records and LOVELOUD (2016–present)Edit
In 2016, Reynolds formed Night Street Records, an imprint label under Interscope Records. His first signing was to alternative hip-hop artist K.Flay.[54]
He organized the charity festival LOVELOUD, held August 26, 2017 in Orem, to "fight against teen suicide and to bring communities [...] and encourage acceptance" of LGBT youth.[55] The concert donated the profits to LGBT organizations The Trevor Project, GLAAD, and others. Performing acts included Imagine Dragons, Neon Trees, Krewella, Joshua James, and Nicholas Petricca (of Walk the Moon).[56][57][58] The film Believer, centering on LGBT youth suicides in Utah, and the LOVELOUD concert, premiered at Sundance on January 20, 2018, and on HBO on June 25, 2018.
A second LOVELOUD festival was held on July 28, 2018, at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City.[59] Acts included Imagine Dragons, Zedd, Mike Shinoda (of Linkin Park), Grace VanderWaal, Tyler Glenn (of Neon Trees), Vagabon, A.W., and Cameron Esposito.[60][61][62] On July 18, 2018, LDS church published a statement in response to requests about the then upcoming event.[63][64]
We remain committed to support community efforts throughout the world to prevent suicide, bullying, and homelessness. Every young person should feel loved and cared for in their families, their communities, and their congregations. We can come together, bringing our perspectives and beliefs, and make each community a safe place for all. [...] We appreciate the sincere efforts of many who are trying to prevent suicide, bullying, and homelessness among vulnerable groups, including LGBT youth. We are grateful to be a part of the work to find solutions.— The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Official Statement
An estimated 35,000 people attended the 2018 event and raised approximately a million dollars for the various charities.[65][66][67][68][69] The event was live streamed for free on YouTube, sponsored by AT&T.[70][71] During his appearance at the 2018 festival, Utah's Lieutenant Governor Spencer Cox announced Governor Gary Herbert's declaration[72] of July 28, 2018, as "LoveLoud Day in Utah."[73]
The third LOVELOUD festival occurred on June 29, 2019, at USANA Amphitheater in West Valley City. In addition to Reynolds, featured performers included Kesha, Daya, Tegan & Sara, PVRIS, K. Flay, and many others.[74] Martin Garrix was also originally booked to perform; however, due to an injury, was unable to attend the festival.[75] In his absence, indie pop band AJR made an appearance and entertained fans with hits such as 100 Bay Days, Weak, Burn the House Down, and Don't Throw Out My Legos. Former BYU mascot and dancer, Charlie Bird, also performed a choreographed number along with some dancers from the BYU Cougarettes. Other notable speakers included Reynold's wife Aja, Shannon Beveridge, Emma Gonzales, and Kalen Allen as the effervescent host for the event.
"We are excited to celebrate our LGBTQ youth through music and spoken word. My hope is that they feel loved, accepted and perfect just the way they are. I invite all the political and religious leaders of Utah to join us as we show our LGBTQ youth that they are not just loved, but truly accepted and appreciated."— Dan Reynolds, Billboard magazine
While details for the LOVELOUD 2020 festival have not yet been made public, internal sources report that a date has already been set and talent acquisition is underway.
Reynolds cites Arcade Fire, Nirvana, Muse, The Beatles, Paul Simon, Coldplay, Linkin Park,[76] Harry Nilsson, and U2 as some of his and the band's artistic influences. In terms of success, Reynolds credits bands like Foster the People and Mumford & Sons for bringing alternative pop music to a new level of commercial success in recent years.[77]
Personal lifeEdit
On March 5, 2011, Reynolds married Aja Volkman. The two have three daughters and a son. Their first daughter, Arrow Eve, was born on August 18, 2012. Their fraternal twin daughters, Gia James and Coco Rae, were born on March 28, 2017. Lastly, Valentine, their son, was born on October 1, 2019.[78][79]
On April 26, 2018, Reynolds announced that after just over seven years of being married, he and Volkman would divorce.[80] However, on November 7, 2018, Reynolds announced, along with the release of the Imagine Dragons song "Bad Liar", that he and Volkman never actually divorced, that she helped co-write the song with him earlier in the year, and they were dating once again.[81]
Reynolds suffers from ankylosing spondylitis, which he announced at Leeds First Direct Arena in 2015 during the band's Smoke + Mirrors tour.[82] In 2016 he partnered with Novartis's ThisASLife to raise awareness about the severe inflammatory disease.[82] During the same year, Reynolds said in an interview that he had been heavily depressed for the past two years and often sees a therapist.[83] He has also suffered from ulcerative colitis since the age of 21.[82] Many songs on Night Visions were inspired by his depression. He aims to destigmatize and change how society sees depression and the act of seeking professional help.[84] In April 2018, he began to talk about his physical and mental health struggles on his social media accounts and continues to offer encouraging messages of support to his fans and others struggling as well.[85]
Reynolds is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[86]

Ongoing full-time employment since May 2016
ASV is a data science company that helps auto dealers order and manage the cars on their lots more efficiently. I joined ASV as the first web engineer back in 2016. At that time, ASV had no modern web apps, their main software that ordered billions of dollars per year worth of cars was running in Excel and written in VBA, and there was no cohesive design or branding. I've helped ASV migrate to web apps running on a Django-Angular stack, consolidate all of our code into python, host our applications on AWS, automate countless previously hand-done tasks, unite our software with a cohesive design, and prioritize user experience. Now we are looking to expand our software to new car manufacturers and build new products that will further improve the efficiency of the auto industry.
AutoSalesVelocity (ASV) started as a small pilot project back in 2005 when the four co-founders hatched a plan to innovate the auto industry. The hypothesis they were testing was simple—could they use data to help auto dealers manage their dealerships more efficiently? The MVP software that helped them test their theory was a shared Excel spreadsheet. The benefit of using data to drive business decisions at car dealerships was immediately obvious, even with some simple Excel magic, and the pilot program didn't stay small for long. AutoSalesVelocity grew quickly by word-of-mouth, and with it, the software evolved organically. The story of AutoSalesVelocity has been one of engineering struggling to keep up with the growth of the company. This meant that often over the first decade of ASV's existence, the small things that build brand and maintainable software were continuously pushed off into the future—there simply wasn't enough engineer hours to keep up. And like any agile company growing faster than it can keep up with, there was a lot of legacy code that was hard to debug, update, and piece together. ASV could have taken funding to keep up with growth, but they chose to go against the grain and bootstrap the company. To this day, ASV is a profitable company that has never taken investment.
When I took my job at ASV, I was essentially the first web engineer the company had ever hired (they hired me and another guy at the same time, but he left after a year). I had several job offers lined up, a few of them with budding startups with lots of funding. I chose to go with ASV because I like to think that I saw the potential most software engineers overlooked. I've noticed that in the software engineering community there is often a culture of engineers only wanting to work on the latest, greatest technology. They do it because they want the experience to put on their resume for their next job and because they are the type of people who like to stay on the cutting-edge. I'm different in this regard. The reason I love software is because it give me the power to solve problems. Above all else, I love solving problems—the harder the better.
When I showed the ASV job listing and promotional website to my friends as I was applying, every single one of them said they wouldn't touch ASV with a stick. The software looked hacky, and a lot of it was written in VBA that ran in Excel. The design was out-dated. And how could they ever put AutoSalesVelocity on their resume with that logo?
Many of the people I know and trust in the software community told me to steer clear of AutoSalesVelocity, but where they saw long days unraveling legacy code, an insurmountable mountain of work just to get everything "caught up," and an unsightly job section at the top of their resume, I saw a challenging problem to solve. And one that was clearly worth a lot of value, but that most engineers (even good ones) weren't willing to take on.
Most of my work from 2016-2018 was migrating old software to modern web apps while upgrading the aesthetic design and UX. I wrote the majority of the software that replaced our main app, which is responsible for most of our revenue and orders almost 10% of all Ford vehicles in the USA. I've led the migration of several static web apps and iPhone apps to progressive web apps written in Django and Angular. And finally, I've redesigned the branding and promotional material for the company, including, but not limited to, the logo, promotional website, and business cards.
The original ASV logo created by the founders lasted nearly 15 years and grew the tech company to twelve employees. That's a pretty good run, but in 2019 it was definitely time to update the look and feel of our brand. Below is an image of the original logo.
As you can see, the old logo used an out-dated Helvetica font and included text that was usually far too small to read. My goal was to make the logo more "responsive" and modern while keeping it recognizable to our existing customers.
This is the logo I designed in 2019 to replace the original. We knew that we didn't want to do a total overhaul of the logo and make it unrecognizable to existing customers. So instead of coming up with a clever icon that combined elements of data and cars, I tried to stay close to the original design and update it rather than redo it.
Since the "AutoSalesVelocity" text below the "ASV" in the logo was typically too small to be readable, I replaced that with a line. The founders originally designed the logo with italic text to embody the "velocity" in AutoSalesVelocity. To give the new logo the same effect, I tapered the ends of the line to make it lean forward. I experimented with changing the font to something construction-industrial and bold, but ultimately decided to kept the font as a serif. My final font choice was Playfiar Display, which I hope will give the brand a more modern and classic-industrial feel. Finally, we needed something that enclosed the type to make the logo a more uniform and symmetrical shape. A square was the obvious choice and also gives us the added benefit of being able to easily alter our logo to match various color schemes.
Like our logo, the ASV promotional website had a good run, but it needed a makeover. One of the funny things we noticed about the old site (and only after years of it being live) is that the image of a car driving that appears front-and-center at the top of the home page has the car driving on the wrong side of the road (we only do business in North America right now).
Armed with our new logo, I designed our promotional site to match. I kept our colors the same as they've always been—blue and orange (go Broncos!)— while updating the fonts to match and pair with the Playfair Display used in our logo.
One of my favorite upgrades to our new site are the illustrations we had custom made by an artist. I like to think of myself as someone who is creative and has artistic ideas, but that doesn't have the skills to bring what I see in my head to life. The illustrator I found on upwork was amazing; she was able to take my crappy pencil sketches of how I envisioned each illustration and bring them to life almost exactly how I had imagined them.
As I mentioned in the company history section, ASV started off using an Excel workbook to do the data analysis for ordering cars. Over time, this Excel workbook grew organically with needs. The founder (my boss) who is in charge of engineering slowly added features to improve efficiency and over the course of a decade he used VBA to build the craziest Excel workbook I've ever seen. It had multiple layers of caching, sqlite databases, it used dropbox as a shared database, etc.
When I was hired, ASV knew that our Ordering Terminal needed to be rebuilt. The app was actually a shared workbook and the employees who used it to order billions of dollars worth of cars per year had to save constantly because of random freezes and crashes. To say that it was redefining the limits of what VBA and Excel could do would be an understatement. I was tasked with replacing this app, which led to a lot of internal debate about how to do it.
For starters, there were so many features built into the Ordering Terminal. And each of our seven Inventory Managers that used the app had special features built for them over the years that the others didn't know about. We knew from the start that matching all of the features before even a beta launch was going to be hard. We couldn't launch without feature-matching, the Inventory Managers were already ordering as many cars as they could reasonably do in a week and any slowdowns caused by cutting useful features would have been a huge hindrance. Furthermore, the team was used to working in Excel and didn't want that to change. I tried to convince them that we should rebuild the app on the web, but they didn't want to give up some of the features that would be hard or impossible to replicate on a website.
The Inventory Managers like to have a worksheet of every car they have ever ordered with dozens of fields about that car. For the co-founders who have been ordering a long time, this is nearly 100k rows and ~50 fields. They like to be able to scroll through this history, filter, sort, etc. and have everything be instant. As an engineering team, we thought it was going to be difficult to provide a similar experience in the browser. The other thing the Inventory Managers like is the ability to leverage Excel and create ad-hoc formulas on the fly to do analysis that isn't baked into the app. That would also have been hard to implement in a browser.
After doing some research we decided that there were two viable options. First, we could build the app as a desktop application. But that seemed like a lot of work to make feature-compatible with excel sort, filter, ad-hoc formulas, etc. Not to mention the fact that none of our engineers had experience making a desktop application like this. After some research, we found a python library called Pyxll that's a wrapper over Excel. Essentially, it allows you to write python code and open up your python application in Excel while leveraging all of the Excel features via an API. We decided that if we used python to build the app in Excel as a psuedo-front end browser, we could still write REST APIs to serve the data. This is the solution we went with and it's actually worked out well for us.
Is it hacky? Yes. Is it a beautiful tech solution? No. When I told my friends about what I was working on, they would often feel sorry for me and offer to buy me a beer. This is actually one of the projects I'm most proud of. Sure, it's not cutting-edge technology nor is it written in a way that any other developer could ever easily jump in and contribute to. But what it lacks in sexiness it makes up for in utility. The application is a huge improvement on the VBA/Dropbox model from the previous model. And most importantly, all of the Inventory Managers who use it all day every day love it. It's exactly what they wanted and needed. And because everything is written in python and the Excel Pyxll app can interact with our Django REST APIs like a browser, we've been able to easily and quickly add dozens of features the Inventory Managers have been asking for for years. Most engineers work on pretty and sexy software that few people ever use—often the code never even gets deployed. While our Pyxll Excel app is neither pretty nor sexy, it is incredibly effective and achieved all of the business goals we laid out when we started the journey of rebuilding this app.
The other reason I'm proud of this app is because I basically had to make a framework to efficiently build these applications in Excel. Pyxll provides us with an API to control Excel, but it doesn't have any tools to help you build your applications. Using what I know about web frameworks, I created a framework in Python for Excel that other developers have actually complimented me on. I also had to build this application with no help. Go search the internet for Python/Pyxll questions. There is nothing on Stack Overflow, Quora, etc. What we decided to do (and pulled off) was so crazy, I'm sure few, if any, people have ever done something similar. The Pyxll API to Excel is also pretty terrible and has about 3 short paragraphs of documentation. When I hit bugs and errors, I had to go read the source code. There was no pasting the error message in Google and finding dozens of questions about the same error with well-explained answers.
Finally, in order to get our Ordering Terminal super fast to maximize Inventory Manager productivity, we've had to dream up some fairly creative (though sometimes hacky) solutions. For example, when you're using Python/Pyxll to add styling to cells in Excel, each call to Excel slows down the application. Our Ordering Terminal is capable of showing hundreds of tables, reports, etc. that all need to come up in milliseconds. In order to reach this efficiency, we couldn't have Excel restyle all of the cells, one-by-one, each time a user clicked a button to see a new report. That literally took seconds. So we made a hidden worksheet that styles fake reports and then we copy and paste the styles in one Excel call for ~1000x performance enhancement. There are also several layers of caching the application leverages. We track every Ford vehicle in the USA, which is a lot of data. The reports consumed in the Ordering Terminal use most of this data, and years worth of it. We have systems that are constantly caching data from our database to Redis. Then we have desktop applications that run on each Inventory Manager's computer that caches that data on their local machine and updates it when there is new data. And finally, when the Ordering Terminal is open we are constantly checking the cache on their hard drives and putting that into memory in Python to make it even faster. These are just a few of the crazy things we've had to do to make the Ordering Terminal fast and feature-rich.
It's nice to work in frameworks and well-supported, new technology. I won't deny that there were days during the year that I built the Ordering Terminal in Pyxll that I wondered what I was doing with my life. My friends would talk about the cool projects they were working on in the latest technologies and the ways they were working to innovate the world and I would get a little jealous. But at the end of the day, I knew that what I was building would be useful, and that kept me going. Looking back, almost all of the projects my friends were working on were either never launched or have been deprecated for various reasons. So I'm proud that the Ordering Terminal I built is used and loved by our team every day and orders billions of dollars worth of cars per year. It's pretty cool to get to "own" a project like that, even if the technology it's built in isn't what I would have chosen as an engineer.
I've had the opportunity to build a lot of software while working at ASV. And I get to deploy code on a daily basis. While the Ordering Terminal was a large project that I still make improvements to on a regular basis, most of my time working at ASV has been spent building progressive web apps with Angular and Django. We have software that we license to Mazda that I built in Angular. We have several internal applications that help us manage our data collection and data formatting that are all built with Angular/Django. I've helped deploy our site onto a kubernetes cluster hosted on AWS. I've written code that collects and compiles gigabytes worth of data every month. I've designed business cards. I've hired engineers. And I've built dozens of small widgets in our apps that have improved the efficiency of our company by eliminating previously hand-done tasks.
My first three years working at ASV has been a saga of updating all of the software so that it's on a single stack, in the cloud, and written in maintainable, documented, and tested code. Now that we have officially replaced all of our legacy code and automated our hand-done tasks, we are positioned to be able to quickly build software and are looking to develop new products that will further innovate the auto industry and grow the company. I've gotten to be apart of the idea creation and elmination stage of our new product design, which has been fun, and now I've been put in charge of designing the interface for our first new product that will hopefully launch at the end of the year. This project will be a web app built into our growing suite of apps hosted in Angular and will leverage my machine learning skills, which I've kept sharp since leaving Mocavo through Udacity courses and side projects. I'm excited for ASV's future, it feels like we are right on the precipice of having some explosive growth and innovation.

Hi! I'm Erik 😊 Long time fan of the Farming Simulator series games. I've played this beautiful game from Giants Software for many years now. I'm still just as hooked as when I started playing FS13.
The game has seen tons of improvements over the years. It just keeps getting better and better. No wonder the series has sold more than 9 million copies so far. And I believe the best is yet to come.
But… The game wouldn't have been what it is today if it wasn't for the thousands of…
I'll credit much of the games' success to all the beautiful mods available.
I've spent more than 4,500 hours (yikes!) inside the different FS games (so far). I'm sure I wouldn't have hit triple digits even, if I wasn't allowed to make the game "mine," using mods.
Yes! I've used mods. Tons of them. I've downloaded, tested, enjoyed, and hated several thousand mods over the years.
Yes! Hated.
You see, there are a lot of really great mods out there. But for every good mod, there are ten bad ones. Really, really bad ones.
But it hasn't been all bad. I've developed a skillset. I've become quite good at finding good mods. Now, I want to share those skills with you.
Only the Best Mods
You won't find crappy mods on YesMods.com. Only the good ones.
Tired of error infested mods, that won't even show up in the game?
Sick of maps that crash your computer? Hate downloading mods from sites that swamp your hard drive with porn, malware, and adware?
Then please, let me help.
- I'll download the mods.
- I'll test them?
- If they're good, I'll put them up for you to download.
Simple as that…
Sure, some of the mods might have errors. Or they might produce warnings in the log. But if the errors aren't too severe, I'll let them have a go.
Want to say hello? Use the contact form on this page to reach out to me.

Annoyance #1: Do not plow your way into the elevator until you know the people on it have gotten off. There honestly is nothing more annoying. Wait THREE MEASLY SECONDS. It's not that hard. That way, you don't run into the pregnant lady trying to find comfortable shoes.
Annoyance #2: You're on your way to lunch, not doing a triathlon. Therefore, running me over with your tacky handbag and paperback is not necessary just because you need to get to Au Bon Pain to buy a $10 salad and sit on your polyester covered ass for an hour.
Annoyance #3: Makeup counter ladies. When needed, you are nothing short of helpful. When I'm walking by you with my hot mac & cheese, sweating and being a "I don't care about my appearance today" pregnant lady, now's not the time. Seriously.
First lady at the NARS counter: OMG! I love your glasses! Too cute!
Sweaty, hungry me: Thanks! I actually bought them here.
Second NARS lady: You could really use some "Babe" on your lips.
First NARS lady: OMG - yes - let's do a makeup trial!!!!!!
Me: (trying to remember what I look like today, and remembering I indeed look like shit and "Babe" will do nothing to save me)
Me: No thanks, gotta eat while it's still warm! (nervous, crabby laugh)
So, now I'm back at my desk, after having inhaled that mac & cheese in about 5 minutes. And I'm still starving.
On the other annoying note for the day (that I'll probably get hate mail for) - I've officially gained 10 pounds in this pregnancy. This is good, and all on schedule...but it's weird. I've just never weighed this much in my entire life. I'm glad I'm finally gaining weight like I should. I just need to scale back the "eat whatever the eff I want" plan and get more fruits & veggies in there so I don't put on another 10 in the next two weeks. :)

Film has been at the center of Basilica Hudson's programming since its founding.
The Basilica Screening Series (launched at our founding in 2010) has presented an array of works, from new and repertory narrative features, documentaries, experimental films, to video and media art, often with filmmakers and special guests in attendance for a discussion following the screenings.
Programmed by Basilica Co-Founder Tony Stone, with a range of collaborators over the seasons, the series has hosted Albert Maysles, Daniel McCabe, Stephanie Wang-Breal, the Safdie Brothers, John Waters, Barbara Hammer, Kidlat Tahimik, Marie Losier, Theo Anthony, Charles Atlas and many others in Basilica's 150-seat North Hall cinema.
In 2013 and 2014, in addition to the regular Screening Series, Basilica Hudson also created an entire weekend devoted to film. BasilicaScope was an intimate festival celebrating the furthest extremes in motion picture accomplishment. The festivals celebrated the work of Alex Cox, Deborah Stratman, Jem Cohen, Jacqueline Goss and others.
In 2016, Basilica Hudson partnered with Chris Boekmann of True/False Film Fest and focused the screening series on the documentary genre, formally launching Basilica Non-Fiction Screening Series on select Thursday evenings between June and August. We also added a FREE community series of Sunday matinees, once per month from June to August.
In 2018, the program expanded to add a teen/youth component, and to increase the number of screenings overall.
New for 2018, Basilica's film program also saw the launch of Watch + Talk, a new FREE series, including both Non-Fiction documentary screenings and Family Friendly matinee screenings. Watch + Talk is focused on introducing young audiences to the power of film. The series is produced in partnership with two local collaborators with a focus on teens and youth engagement: the Hudson Area Library and NeXt Doc, as well as two festival partners, True/False Film Fest and New York International Children's Film Festival.
Watch + Talk is supported by a grant from the Fund for Columbia County, a fund of Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation.
Basilica Hudson's Film & Media program is supported in part by a grant from the Alexander & Marjorie Hover Foundation.
Basilica Film Screenings are made possible, in part, by a generous in-kind projector loan from Second Ward Foundation.

China outraged by Mercedes-Benz Instagram post
Carmaker apologizes after uproar over Dalai Lama quote
Instagram may be banned in China, but people still care about what appears on the social media service.
Mercedes-Benz learned this the hard way when it posted an Instagram image of a white car parked on a beach, along with a quote attributed to the Dalai Lama: "Look at the situations from all angles, and you will become more open. #MondayMotivation"
That triggered a swarm of angry comments from Chinese users. While the Dalai Lama is celebrated outside China for his Buddhist teachings, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader is condemned inside the country.
The company deleted the post and issued a lengthy apology in Chinese -- not on Instagram, but on the popular Chinese microblog Weibo. It reads, in part: "We understand the incident has offended the feelings of the Chinese people, including our employees in China. For this, we offer our sincerest apology."
State media weren't satisfied. A commentary on People's Daily says the apology "wasn't sincere enough" and criticizes the company for failing to understand Chinese culture and values.
Last month, international hotel chain Marriott caused a similar uproar after its website listed Tibet and Taiwan as separate countries, and a U.S.-based employee "liked" a tweet supporting Tibetan independence. Beijing blocked Marriott's website and app for a week.

Solar plus storage is an Adelaide family's way to zero electricity bills.
Electricity bills always find a way to surprise customers – and not in a positive way. Summer is especially daunting with air conditioners in full use. But even in winter, power rates are susceptible to increase. This makes households, and even businesses, think hard on how they can lower their bills.
For a family in South Australia, the objective is to eventually make the bill go away. And it seems they've found a way to make this happen. Their secret: solar plus storage.
Solar plus storage
Adelaide's Scott Matthews and Kelly Nestor thought of improving their existing solar power system. Installing more solar and battery storage seemed reasonable. After all, they liked how their solar panels worked in slashing their power bills. They used not just any kind of solar storage but opted for one that's state-of-the-art.
The family worried about their electricity consumption as, over time, the bills only increase. With solar panels, their household budget improved drastically. Now that they have powerful battery storage, they expect the bills to soon reach zero.
Aside from huge savings, the family loved the fact that they are not only helping the environment by reducing energy carbon emission but also teaching their kids about sustainability.
Fronius battery storage system
The household's 10kW rooftop solar system worked well with the newly-installed 6kWh Fronius Solar Battery. The family was, in fact, the first in the state to use the Fronius battery. Thanks to National Renewable Group (NRG), the local-based company that installed the battery.
Fronius is well-known for its PV inverter technology and has now branched into the battery storage space. Its product uses lithium-iron phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry and ranges in capacity from 4.5kWh to 12kWh. The system's size increases by adding 1.5kWh modules.
The new battery storage system is inclusive of Fronius Symo Hybrid inverter. It also includes the Fronius Smart Meter. The Smart Meter is specially designed to optimise self-consumption. It records the household's load curve, too, delivering a high degree of flexibility in applications.

For the reason that very first digital digital camera was launched to the public, we have fallen in love with the comfort and photo quality of those cameras. You could be turned off by the value, particularly that of the RX10 III, but some shooters will discover that a digicam like this is a better fit than an SLR When you bought an entry-degree SLR and have never moved beyond the 18-55mm starter zoom, you will find a 1-inch bridge digital camera to be a more capable software for day-to-day images.
Even the easiest bridge cameras use sensors which can be a lot smaller than those inside DSLRs and most mirrorless cameras, and this has sometimes meant that they can not offer the same form of image high quality or control over depth of area that interchangeable-lens cameras can. In case you find the considered a DSLR interesting, however you don't need the effort of changing lenses (or having to carry them), then a bridge digicam might be the ideal resolution.
We additionally test the cameras' video capabilities by capturing scenes with minimal movement in vibrant and low mild. It's small light and unobtrusive and is now my digital camera of choice except I want the extra zoom range of the HS50. The G3X produces some pleasing photos, and whereas the FZ2000 and RX10 III are more likely to be extra appealing as all-rounders, for those who're a Canon shooter – or you possibly can't stretch your price range all that far, the G3X makes for a relatively tempting choice.
You may typically should search for these advanced options, which can be found in cameras which might be priced from about $450 to over $1,000. Bridge Zoom Cameras make taking nice pictures a breeze. The first group — superior fashions — are primarily pocket pleasant cameras similar to Sony's RX100 sequence or the Panasonic Lumix DMC- LX100 , which sport options resembling massive picture sensors, very excessive-quality lenses, high-performing image processors — and generally, fanatic niceties like a crisp digital viewfinder (EVF).
Whereas it would not have the longest attain of the ultrazooms we examined, this Canon's 65X telephoto lens will get you very close to the motion, and captures all the pieces in sharp detail, whether you are taking images or shooting video. As a rule, most bridge cameras provide a big zoom lens, giving you an identical sort of flexibility that carrying plenty of completely different lenses would provide you with.

Internet Marketing
Our Internet Marketing ServicesOptimization for search engines (SEO – Search engine optimization) is the practice of creating or modifying a website so that it can be properly read and indexed by search engines. The "real" search engines, such as Google or Yahoo!, send programs called "spiders" or "robots" to explore your website. Click here to learn more.
ConversionsGetting people to your website is not enough. You want them to do something once they are there. If you fail to focus on your target market, you will have a hard time getting conversions. SEO Hollywood knows how to attract the right market. We also know how to make that market a part of your sales funnel. The Sales Funnel In a perfect world, you could just cross your arms, nod your head, and get a customer. In the real world, you need a sales funnel. Your sales funnel does everything that you need to make a sale. It:
- Attracts potential customers
- Educates them on your products or services
- Qualifies them as leads
- Takes them through the checkout process
Sponsored linksGetting your site to rank on the first page of Google in the organic search results takes time, especially when you go about it the right way. The good news is you do not have to wait for traffic while you fight for that first position. You can use sponsored links to start getting traffic today. How it Works SEO Hollywood creates ads on big pay-per-click (PPC) networks like AdWords. We pick keywords and write ads based on the target market. We even set targeting parameters to ensure the ads only reach the people who want to purchase the product. These ads display as part of the search results and on websites. When people click on one of the ads, the network redirects them to the company's website. Then, it's up to the company to close the deal. Don't rush off to start your own campaign just yet. Take a minute to see how SEO Hollywood can actually lower the amount of money you spend on PPC advertising.
Why Choose SEO HollywoodPPC companies want to serve high quality ads. Otherwise, people will not click on the ads and the companies will not make money. Because of that, they charge less for campaigns with high quality keywords, ads, and landing pages. That means they charge more for campaigns that are of a low quality. On top of that, low quality ads are not usually placed on the first page of search results so even if you spend a lot of money for clicks, you will not get a lot of visibility. SEO Hollywood conducts market and keyword research before running PPC campaigns. We use that information to create highly targeted, quality ads. That drives down the cost-per-click, helping our clients save money. Contact us today to find out how we can create a cost saving PPC campaign specifically for your company. Our campaigns are good for your business and your budget.
ContentMost companies think of search engines or visitors when creating content. By taking both the search engines and visitors into consideration, SEO Hollywood creates high-ranking sites with stellar content. That means people find our clients' sites. Once they find them, they often turn into customers, thanks to the compelling content. The Search Engines When the search engines send spiders out to websites, they want to see keywords in the content. They also want the content to be unique and include internal and outbound links. You cannot afford to create content that the search engines do not like. It is not about a difference of opinion. If they do not like it, they will banish your site to the bottom of the rankings. It will waste away over on the 50th page of Google. Your site can also end up banished if you do not pay attention to your visitors' needs. The Visitor Due to recent changes in Google's algorithm, site owners are now expected to provide valuable content. Otherwise, they could end up with a bad ranking. We could not be happier. We have always believed that visitors need content that informs them, stimulates them, and compels them to make a purchase. Otherwise, you will not get conversions. We have been doing this for years, and now search engine algorithms have finally caught up us. Because we have been doing this for so long, we have become pros at generating well-crafted content that draws readers in and makes the search engines happy at the same time. Contact us today if you are sick of letting your site waste away. It is time to revitalize your marketing campaign and get some conversions with some stellar content.
Research and DevelopmentWould you rather turn $100 into $200 or just rip the bill up and throw it away? That might seem like a crazy question, but if you are running a marketing campaign without conducting proper research and development, you are throwing money away instead of doubling or tripling it. Market research and development is the best way to increase your return on investment. To put it simply, it is the golden ticket. Once you have it, you can cash it in for huge profits. Finding Your Target Market You have a target market. People outside of your target market might buy your products from time to time, but your target market is your bread and butter. You need to attract your target market to your site. When you only attract your target market to your site, it costs less to get conversions. That means your cost-per-conversion will go down. You can't just wave a magic wand and get your target market to come to your site. You need to find out:
- How old your market is
- How much they spend in your market each year
- Where they buy products
- When they buy products
- How your competitors reach them

Wayfair Credit Card
Last reviewed: March 25, 2020
Offering an unimpressive rewards rate, sky-high APR and no noteworthy perks or discounts, the Wayfair Credit Card is best avoided for all but the most frequent Wayfair shoppers.
Capital One Premier Dining Rewards credit card
Last reviewed: March 21, 2019
With no annual fee, 3 percent cash back on restaurants and flexible redemption options, the brand-new Capital One Premier Dining Rewards card is an especially good deal for foodies and others who frequently dine out. This offer is no longer available.
Citi ThankYou Preferred Card
Last reviewed: December 12, 2019
A good card for night owls and weekend adventurers, the Citi ThankYou Preferred card sets itself apart by offering bonus points on a wide variety of dining and entertainment purchases; however, it doesn't offer much value for everyday purchases, such as gas or groceries, and it doesn't offer any kind of sign-up bonus. This offer is no longer available.
Blue Cash card from American Express
Last reviewed: May 9, 2019
Better suited for well-heeled families than cardholders on a budget, the Blue Cash card offers a generous cash back bonus on everyday purchases; but to get it, you have to clear an exceptionally high spending threshold that may be unrealistic for some families. This offer is no longer available.
La Quinta Returns Visa card
Last reviewed: February 22, 2019
Since La Quinta points are more valuable than the average hotel card rewards point, cardholders will find a lot of value in the La Quinta Returns Visa card, including one of the best sign-up bonuses you can get without paying an annual fee. This offer is no longer available.
Citi Hilton Honors Visa Signature card
Last reviewed: December 12, 2019
With a vast hotel network, a large sign-up bonus and a bevy of hotel perks – including free hotel nights and an annual 10,000-point bonus – the Citi Hilton Honors Visa Signature card is a good deal for no annual fee. This offer is no longer available.
Red Roof Inn RediCard+ Visa credit card
Last reviewed: November 27, 2018
For frequent guests of Red Roof Inn, the RediCard makes good economic sense: The card offers a decent rewards rate and you get a 6,000-point sign-up bonus, which entitles to you a free night right off the bat, all for no annual fee. However, the card is thin on features and doesn't offer much in the way of hotel perks. This offer is no longer available.
Commerce Bank Miles credit card
Last reviewed: January 28, 2019
Cardholders on the search for a travel card with no annual fee will find that the Commerce Bank Miles card offers a pretty mediocre rewards rate and subpar travel perks. This offer is no longer available.
PNC CashBuilder Visa credit card
Last reviewed: January 15, 2019
The PNC Cashbuilder Visa rewards moderate spenders and loyal PNC bank account holders with up to 1.75 percent cash back on every purchase, but it doesn't offer much else to set it apart from other cards. This offer is no longer available.
