Frequently Asked Questions
What is the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker?
The U.S. Press Freedom Tracker aims to comprehensively document press freedom violations in the United States committed by national, state, and local authorities, as well as by private individuals. These include: journalist arrests, assaults, border stops, camera and equipment seizures, surveillance orders, subpoenas, and more.
Why now?
This is a difficult time to be a journalist in the United States. Journalists have been arrested at protests and charged with felonies; stopped and searched at the border; and in at least one case, assaulted by a congressional candidate. President Donald Trump has used vitriolic rhetoric targeting individual journalists and media organizations, undermining the role a free press should play in a democracy. This has prompted renewed interest in domestic press freedom issues.
This website will track those incidents, but the Trump administration is not the only authority that needs to be held to account. We will also track press freedom violations by local politicians and police departments. Many of the trends that this site will document—such as prosecutions of alleged leakers—increased dramatically under the Obama administration, prompting a number of the press organizations involved in this project to increase their focus on the United States.
The groups involved in this site came together because we realized that in the midst of a tense climate for press freedom, there was no central repository for shared data. There was no single place to find the number of journalists arrested in a given year or the number of leak prosecutions. This site sets out to change that, and, in doing so, will serve as a resource for journalists and press freedom advocates.
Who is involved in the site?
Freedom of the Press Foundation is leading the day-to-day operations of the site, with Kirstin McCudden serving as managing editor of the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker. The Committee to Protect Journalists is providing the initial funding and sits on a steering committee that also includes representatives from the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, Reporters Without Borders, and Index on Censorship. Please find a full list of partners on our About page.
What is the process for documenting and verifying cases on the Tracker?
The U.S. Press Freedom Tracker receives tips directly from individual journalists and from a wide network of partner organizations. All tips are thoroughly vetted and reported as cases by our staff before being published.
Why doesn't the site include data from before 2017?
We do not feel that data collected retroactively would meet our rigorous research standards. We believe that data collected before we established a tracking system, methodology, and outreach is likely to be less comprehensive and therefore likely to underestimate the number of incidents before 2017.
Who does the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker count as a journalist?
The U.S. Press Freedom Tracker adopts a functional definition of who is a journalist. It doesn't matter whether the individual has a press pass or went to journalism school, whether they work for The New York Times or work for themselves. What matters is whether the person was performing an act of journalism. The Tracker will count journalists whose rights to gather and disseminate information were violated in the course of their work or as a result of their work.
In the case of border stops, the resistance of U.S. authorities to provide information makes it extremely difficult to identify whether a journalist has been stopped because of their work. So although it is possible that some journalists may be stopped for other reasons, we will report cases of all journalists who are stopped at the border and questioned for a certain amount of time.
A journalist who attends a protest in order to protest publicly, rather than to document the protest, and is arrested or attacked in that capacity will not be counted on the site. While we recognize the importance and the rights of the private citizen who snaps a photo or video of an arrest, this site will only cover individuals who self-identify as journalists and have some track record of journalistic work.
Why don't you collect comprehensive data on broader threats to press freedom, like abusive civil suits and online threats and harassment?
The U.S. Press Freedom Tracker is focused on collecting quantitative data on press freedom incidents based on news reports and tips submitted by journalists, professional organizations, and press freedom organizations. For categories like "online threats," this methodology of collecting data would severely underestimate the total number of incidents. Therefore, while we may occasionally report on some incidents that fall outside our core areas in the "other" category—and label them with tags such as "online harassment" or "civil lawsuit"—we are not attempting to gather comprehensive quantitative data on those types of incidents. The organizations involved in the site will continue to report vigorously on these topics and qualitative investigations will appear on the blog.
If a case is on the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker, does that mean that all the organizations involved in the project agree on it?
We believe that collaboration and the creation of a shared repository of knowledge is vital, but this does not mean that all organizations will agree on and advocate for every case. This is a good thing: If major press freedom organizations echoed each other on every case or incident, it would be a sign that we had lost the independent investigations and robust debates that make the press freedom field vibrant.
As the editorial lead, Freedom of the Press Foundation will take responsibility for all cases included on the site.
Who funds this project?
This project was underwritten by support from individuals and private foundations, including the Boston-based Barr Foundation. As part of a settlement agreement with Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs, Montana Congressman Greg Gianforte contributed $50,000 to the Committee to Protect Journalists, which it has put toward this project.

Like any athlete traveling to Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Olympic Games, about 200 horses that competed in equestrian events had to go through customs, have a passport, submit to equipment inspection, and walk through a bomb detection unit before boarding specially equipped airplanes. Their accommodations could be considered similar to business class, with one to three horses per plane -- and they flew with a team of groomers and veterinarians at their sides.
Tim Dutta, a spokesman for the company that transported the U.S. Olympic equestrian team, estimated the round-trip cost from Miami was about $20,000 USD per horse.

7 Days to Sandal-Ready Feet
Learn how to get your feet ready for summer.
Hello, sandal season!
Honestly, who really sees your feet until it's time to slip on a pair of open-toe shoes or sandals? Chances are no one, which explains why we pay so little attention to them in the winter. Follow our heel-to-toe guide for fabulous-looking feet—and we'll forgive your neglect. Pressed for time? Simply combine steps to turn this into a one-day treatment. Either way, you'll be ready to show off your tootsies long before Memorial Day.
Sunday: Prep for your pedicure
Remove all polish, and leave toenails au naturel for the rest of the week. If nails are discolored, rub them with a lemon wedge for one minute. "Lemons contain oxidizing agents which help brighten nails," says Robert Cleary, director of product development at the Dashing Diva nail salon in New York. Before bedtime, massage an exfoliating alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) foot cream (we like Revlon's Overnight Hand and Foot Repair, $10.99) into feet.
Monday: Come clean
Deep clean your feet in a tub of water with a few drops of tea tree oil (find it at any health-food store or at drugstore.com), says Suzanne Levine, a New York–based podiatrist: "Tea tree oil acts as an antiseptic." Then rub feet with a washcloth and mild soap—and don't overlook the space between your toes, where dirt and lint can linger. Pat feet dry.
Tuesday: Scrub your feet smooth

While in the shower or bath, use an exfoliating scrub (one to try: the self-heating Olay Thermal Pedicure, $8.99) to remove any rough patches your AHA may have left behind. Be sure to work on the ankle area. For extra-rough spots—usually the heels and balls of feet—use a pumice stone or foot file to gently smooth and buff skin.
Wednesday: Tend to your cuticles
For smoother, more even cuticles, apply a remover (we like Sally Hansen's Instant Cuticle Remover, $5.95) and then push back the cuticle. "Any hanging skin still left behind can be gently trimmed with cuticle nippers," says celebrity manicurist Deborah Lippmann.
Thursday: Moisturize with a mask
Five days into your foot-revitalizing routine, it's time for soft and supple skin. Jamie Ahn, owner of the Acqua Beauty Bar and Townhouse spas in New York, recommends treating yourself to this do-it-yourself, 10-minute foot treatment: Mix 4 tablespoons of honey with 2 drops of fresh lemon juice and ¼ cup of sour cream. Sit on the bathtub edge, then spread the mixture on both feet. Relax while honey (a natural humectant) hydrates the skin, and lemon and sour cream (which contain citric and lactic acid, respectively) exfoliate dry patches. Rinse well.
Friday: Trim your toenails
It's easier to clip nails—especially toenails—when they're damp. After showering, clip your nails straight across, then trim the corners of each nail at a 45-degree angle. Remember, your toenails should be no longer than the edge of your toe. Be sure to file the corners into rounded edges to prevent ingrown toenails. Use a scrub brush to clean underneath the nails, and then gently buff them (our favorite buffer is Creative Nail Design Glossing Buffer Block, $5.50) to prepare the nails for polish.

The super heroes of the Marvel Universe all have a strong devotion to the ideals of justice and equality. Daredevil's dedication to the principle of justice is so great, however, that when the costumes comes off, he continues to fight corruption and malfeasance in his civilian guise as attorney Matt Murdock
Murdock does his best to keep his two worlds separate, but the fact that his identity as Daredevil is semi-public knowledge means they often collide headlong, with explosive results. In the current arc of the "Daredevil" ongoing series by writer Mark Waid and artist Marcos Martin, Murdock's latest client put Daredevil on the trail of a dangerous conspiracy involving illicit high finance. CBR News spoke with Waid about the current arc and his upcoming plans for the series, not the least of which includes a two-part crossover with "Amazing Spider-Man."
CBR News: Mark, when you launched the new "Daredevil" series, you also gave Matt Murdock and his friend and law partner Foggy Nelson a new law specialty -- teaching others how to defend themselves in court. Where did the idea for Matt and Foggy's new focus come from?
Mark Waid: I always saw Matt as someone who was eager to help other people stand up to bullies -- part of why he chose the law as a profession -- but, again, the fact that his dual identity is semi-public knowledge makes it impossible for him to be a trial lawyer right now, until and unless the Daredevil-is-Murdock discussions ever fade away. I asked my friend, writer (and lawyer!) Marc Guggenheim if the consultancy angle worked and made sense, and not only did he give me a thumbs-up, he also guided me in terms of language and situations and the courtroom process. Anything I get wrong is on me, but anything I get right is on him.
Matt and Foggy's latest client has made Daredevil the target of a conspiracy involving high finance and the Marvel Universe's biggest terrorist and criminal conspiracies. Now, if I'm reading this correctly, it seems that what Daredevil has uncovered is a deal to turn the nation of Latveria into a place where mega-criminals can hide and launder their money. Is that accurate?
That's exactly what it means. It seems to me to be a perfect Daredevil-level threat in that if it goes through, it doesn't immediately mean world destruction or genocide; it means that groups like A.I.M. and Hydra and the Secret Empire, who already undoubtedly launder their finances through a complicated series of fronts and blinds, will have created an invulnerable information firewall that makes it virtually impossible to get to these organizations through their subsidiaries or hound them through the courts.
Midas Investments is the firm that's brokering this illicit deal, so they stand to make quite a bit of cash. In order to protect their potential earnings, they've sent a new character called Bruiser after Daredevil. What can you tell us about the danger Bruiser presents? His costume seems to be a mixture of a Mexican wrestler and a NASCAR driver -- are the patches on his uniform his sponsors?
Bruiser's pretty dangerous if you're a street-level fighter like Daredevil. He has a superpower that doesn't become apparent until the final Bruiser/DD match in issue six. And as to the "sponsor patches" -- they're not exactly that (why would the Secret Empire have a trademark logo?), but we'll let Bruiser explain their significance in issue six.
Bruiser took out Matt in their first match up in Daredevil #5, but as you mention, a rematch happens in issue #6. The solicits suggest that the issue will also feature a surprise revelation about the Marvel Universe. Are you able to hint or tease about the nature of that revelation?
All I can tell you is this: By the end of issue six, Matt Murdock has become the most dangerous man on Earth, and will be for a while. Fact.
Looking ever-forward, December's "Daredevil" #7, by you and artist Paolo Rivera, is a one-off issue that deals with some of the fallout from issue #6. Then, in #8, you and Paolo are back with another multi-part story, the first part of which actually kicks off in "Amazing Spider-Man" #667. How does it feel to return to Spidey's world?
Dan and I were supposed to collaborate on the writing duties, but editor Steve Wacker wanted him to focus on the upcoming "Ends of the Earth" storyline in "Amazing Spider-Man." So Steve asked me to do both parts of the team-up. The downsides to that were (a) not working with my friend, Dan, and (b) more work. But the upside to it was that it made it easier to write the "Daredevil" half so as not to "punish" those who didn't also read Spidey -- we'd love you to read Spidey, but if you're just reading "Daredevil,"I promise, you won't feel lost for a moment.
That's good to know! Let's wrap things up by talking about some of the other things coming Daredevil's way in 2012. Greg Rucka recently told us that you've been discussing the relationship between the Punisher and Daredevil. So can we expect to feel Frank Castle's presence in this book some time in the near future?
We're still hammering something out, but it's definitely set for the near future. As is the reveal of who set the Klaw "echo" after Matt in our first arc. As is the Mole Man.

If you are ever traveling through the Philippines make sure to check out Mr. Guac Truck!
"We had to design a business system that is economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable …We try to make our operations as sustainable as possible; as such, we limit total energy consumption of the truck by using LEDs and energy efficient lighting, upcycled an old delivery truck into a highly designed mobile eatery, utilize a small footprint by maximizing the available space within the 12′ x 6.5′ delivery truck, and developed a system that encourages customers to return our packaging for recycling."
Local 360 Seattle // Going for the Bon Bons!
This is my favorite restaurant @ the moment! The majority of the food is sourced within 360 miles, and it is delicious. Katrina and I went to this place for happy hour the other week, and we were immediately hooked. I have not tried the entire menu yet but I intend to! Their lunch and dinner menu looks equally impressive and no where lacking in things to taste, scarf, and drink. We are headed back here for breakfast this week, a review will follow.
"What is sustainable? To us, it means relying on and investing in our immediate community and geological placement. It means utilizing our resources in an efficient and renewable manner that we find closest to us. It means dedicating ourselves to ensuring the health of our neighbors and loved ones by using the freshest, most naturally grown sources."

Other than WinSCP, is there a program that can do an SFTP file synchronization of folders in Windows? I'd like to find a simple way to add directories to be backed up to my SFTP server. I'd like to run it as a scheduled task each night.
I am able to do this with WinSCP, but since my scripting is horrible, I have about 10 configuration files for each transfer and adding new ones is a paid in the neck.

Warning: There are spoilers and speculation ahead for "The Walking Dead."
"The Walking Dead" doesn't return to AMC in February, but it's never early enough to get excited about the second half of its seventh season.
While one exclusive image has been revealed over at TVLine, we haven't seen a lot of new images for the new season featuring the group. Meanwhile, the network has released a series of vaguely mysterious promo photos to pique interest.
The 15 images don't include any faces, but reveal a lot of random objects, places, and some cleverly lined-up shadows of people with guns.
So, what does it all mean? Well, some of it may mean nothing in particular. Some of these photos seem really random and the exact sort of marketing stunt meant to get fans talking. Though ratings for the zombie hit are still among the highest on TV, it's not a secret that the show's numbers have been taking a hit week after week. Maybe these photos are a way to get fans invested again.
However, with over a month left until the zombies, Rick, and Negan return, I like to think these images could be full of vague hints at what's to come in the latter half of season seven. Knowing that Rick and the gang are going to start recruiting other communities to take down the Saviors, there's plenty to read into here.
Let's get to speculating!
1. This eerie hand print on a white wall.
What we're looking at: Just any old bloody or muddy hand print.
What it may mean: Are we in store for more bloodshed? (Undoubtedly.) If we had to guess, this looks like one of the homes in Alexandria. Has some kind of accident taken place where someone was injured? That print looks like it was made in haste — the entire handprint isn't even there.
Perhaps the Saviors came back and things go awry again, though it seems like it may be too soon for that. Or maybe it's just a reminder of those who have been lost in Alexandria as of late. RIP Olivia.
2. Ah, yes, cantaloupe. Because this is the image we need right now while waiting for a show about zombies to return.
What we're looking at: Just some melons in, what appears to be, a crate.
What it may mean: In all seriousness, this could be representative of a few things. It may be a hint at the Kingdom joining forces with Rick to take down the Saviors. It could just be a simple reference to the fact that the Kingdom is a great source of food during the zombie apocalypse and one that will come in hand in the future.
It can also suggest the ongoing trading deals the various communities have with the Saviors. The deal is for them to take half of everything you have.
Or maybe it means some heads will be rolling. You choose!
3. All right, now we're getting somewhere. What's going on with this grave?
What we're looking at: An open grave. Maybe it's a freshly dug one or is it a previous one that's been dug up? It's also not clear what the setting of this location is. I thought it may be the burned mattress location Michonne stumbled upon, but that doesn't look right.
What it may mean: Oh boy. Where do we start?
We did just see a few deaths so the most obvious, immediate answer is that this is a newly dug grave for Olivia or someone else. Maybe it's a new grave that was dug at the Sanctuary for Fat Joey. (Daryl is in so much trouble when Negan finds him!)
Perhaps it's just a symbol hinting that more death is coming or that one specific death is coming.
Or you know what, maybe Glenn clawed his way out and ... I'm kidding. There's no way Glenn is alive. I'm really baffled by the background in this image which may or may not be significant. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.
4. Oh hey, it's a bucket. Neat.
What we're looking at: We have an upside down bucket taking up much of the frame, but there's also a gardening cultivator. Atop the bucket is an indiscernible scrap of paper with an image that slightly resembles a map. (I zoomed in quite a bit.)
What it may mean: I was instantly ready to dismiss this image, but it looks like there are some seeds or oats atop this bucket. They could be flower seeds, especially with that garden cultivator lying nearby. Flashes of Carol saying "look at the flowers" are coming to mind.
Carol is an interesting character lately. Remember, she's off pretending to live her own solitary life in a cozy cottage. She doesn't want anything to do with anyone and she recently saw a bunch of zombies as living people. Despite her lovely conversation with King Ezekiel, Carol's been cracking lately. If you're not worried for her, you should be.
Couldn't you see her tending to her garden, pretending everything's okay again? Then again, a garden could easily represent the Kingdom's lush gardens.
5. Cracked nuts
What we're looking at: A bunch of nuts, some cracked, on a table with a few hammers lying around. In the middle of it all is a pot.
What it may mean: Is this hinting at a few cracked nuts on the show? At the moment, Negan may be the biggest nut of them all.
This could be a bunch of things: A hint at more potential skull bashing, a metaphor for Negan's ball-busting jokes, or it could be a nice callback to Abraham's final words to Negan at the start of the season. Payback isn't great, Negan.
6. Innovation never rests, even in the zombie apocalypse.
What we're looking at: A light fixture is wrapped to, what looks like, a toolbox of some sort. It's not clear what purpose it's serving.
What it may mean: This one truly has me at a loss. Maybe it's something that is made or is used in some grand scheme or maybe it's just some junk lying around.
Some people think it's a hint of a package from Oceanside since the toolbox is wrapped in twine. I'm not reading that far into this one.
7. A bike that's still in tact — with a helmet!
What we're looking at: This one's pretty clear. It's a bike.
What it may mean: Is this a hint at Carl's next big date outing with Enid? It looks like quite the upgrade from roller skates.
8. This zombie has seen better days.
What we're looking at: A zombie which has now faded away into a skeleton.
What it may mean: Are we foreshadowing more death or maybe the return of more zombies?
Something that would be really cool is if we kicked off the final eight episodes of the season starting on some decayed zombie down the line and learned by the finale it's one of Rick's group, but I doubt that's happening.
9. Dynamite tied to a sting.
What we're looking at: Dynamite attached to what appears to be a cable or rope.
What it may mean: Are we in for an explosive final eight episodes? I'd love if this was part of some scheme Rick used to infiltrate the Sanctuary. Better yet, fans would enjoy if this was Carol coming to her senses and setting up a bunch of traps for the Saviors.
It's been pointed out that Joey at the Sanctuary was keeping herds away from the Sanctuary by using explosions, so this could be a hint to that. We did get a glimpse of Rick fighting off a few zombies. Perhaps the group will become so engrossed in fighting off the Saviors that they'll forget about the real danger of the zombie apocalypse.
11. More nuts — peanuts to be specific.
What we're looking at: It's a bunch of peanuts, laid out on a tray.
What it may mean: Are these peanuts being grown at the Kingdom or are they a stockpile the Saviors own? Perhaps this is another reminder that the Saviors own everything right now.
11. That's a lot of creepy old rubber ducks.
What we're looking at: A group of rubber ducks on a table with at least one that's visibly dirtier than the rest. There's some sort of light, maybe a fire in the background.
What it may mean: I can't shake that this has to do with Negan. At the end of season six, Negan had the group lined up to pick a victim. I wouldn't be surprised if we see Negan get to line all of his ducks in a row once again by the season's end. It happens in the comics and the show has been following Negan's story line pretty closely thus far.
While that's something that may upset fans who didn't respond well to the first brutal lineup, a second one wouldn't go down like the one at the start of the season if it were to happen.
13. Hello walker my old friend.
What we're looking at: There's a walker and another figure walking in separate directions in a pretty rundown area. It's tough to make out, but I'm pretty sure those are two undead in the promo shot. We're not looking at one lonely survivor out there.
What it may mean: Some think we're looking at one of the current locations in the aftermath of some destruction. I doubt that's the case since the Kingdom, Alexandria, the Sanctuary, and the Hilltop are all fine at this point in the comics.
This is probably nothing more than a reminder of how far we've come in the zombie apocalypse. It's a bleak look at what the world looks like now. I don't think this is any specific location in particular.
12. Finally, something to give us peace of mind. Maybe.
What we're looking at: It appears we're in some sort of a shack or workshop with a lantern peeking out. There's also a dastardly looking drill to the far right.
What it may mean: Maybe this lantern is a beacon of hope for Rick and the group moving forward. But with every chance of hope, you have to remember to never let your guard down because something may be lurking in the shadows — you know, like that crazy-looking drill.
This could also be a lookout spot for someone from the Hilltop or Alexandria.
If that seems too sunny for you, maybe it's a dank workshop Eugene has been sentenced to by the Saviors. He works by candlelight to make new ammo for them and has only that tiny window to look out of. I really don't think any of these images are showing off specific locations. I think they're meant to symbolize larger concepts for the rest of the season.
14. Some shadowy figures support Rick's claim at the end of the mid-season finale.
What we're looking at: Some shadowy figures who are probably Rick and the gang.
Let's take a closer look at this image though.
It looks like this is Rick and the group getting ready to face off with the Saviors.
This image gives the best hint at the entire feel of the second half of the season. Rick is done groveling and catering to Negan's every whim. He decidedly told Michonne the group can't live like that and that they need to assemble a force for the Saviors to reckon with. Michonne reminded Rick that he once told everyone else that they're the ones who live. They're the ones who should be feared.
This image is a tease of the group coming together to take vengeance on the deaths of Glenn, Abraham, and countless others. If you look closely, it appears as if you can make out Rick in the center (as he should be). One part that I find a bit odd is all the way off to the right, it almost looks like you see a partial shadow of Negan's baseball bat. But perhaps it's just an odd coincidence.
We're sure Rick will spend the majority of the next eight episodes rounding everyone up. If anything, we bet this image is teasing the Alexandrians (and company) confrontation with the Saviors at the Sanctuary, which will probably happen in the season finale leading up to an event from the comics called "All Out War."

Collie Dogs
Information, Behavior and Training
Everybody is familiar with Collie dogs courtesy of the famous television show "Lassie". But even in real life, this breed remains the perfect portrait of loyalty and affection.
Collies are sweet-natured dogs that crave human attention and companionship. They also have an innate predisposition to be responsive towards humans.
If you are considering opening your home and heart to this breed, make sure you understand this breed's needs for companionship and attention.
Whether you are thinking about buying a puppy or adopting an adult dog and want to know if this is the right breed for you or just want to learn more about this breed, I hope this article will help you find the answers to your questions.
Breed History
Surprisingly, very little is known about this breed's ancestry. Some historians believe that its ancestors were introduced to the British Islands by Roman conquerors about 2,000 years ago.
What we do know is that the breed as we know it today originates from Scotland, more precisely the Highland regions. Also known as Collis, Colley, Coally, and Coaly, Collie dogs were used mainly for the purpose of herding sheep, goats and cattle.
Until about 2 centuries ago, Collies were used strictly as working dogs and didn't look anything like the Collie of today. However, some breeders began to refine the breed in the early 19th century, splitting it into 2 distinct breeds - a much larger breed that we know as the Collie and a working dog, known as the Scotch or Farm Collie. Actually, there is no standard for the Scotch Collie and it's rather a type of a dog, not a breed.
The breed became popular after Queen Victoria discovered and fell in love with it during one of her visits to her Scottish retreat. Many other members of the Royal Family and aristocracy have owned the breed. Other famous owners included Gloria Swanson, President Coolidge and J.P. Morgan, whose Collie puppies had won numerous dog competitions in the early 1900s.
The breed was introduced to the United States in the late 19th century. It was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1885 and categorized under the herding group. The Collie Club of America was founded in 1886.
Today, Collie dogs are commonly used in Search and Rescue, drug detection, as therapy dogs and, of course, as pets and companions.
Breed Profile
Overall, the Collie is a portrait of balance and harmonious proportions. The American Kennel Club depicts them as "floating over the ground" when they are running. Collies come in two coat varieties - rough (more popular) and smooth coat Collie.
The muscular body boasts a moderately long neck that is heavily frilled and kept proudly arched. The deep chest features well-rounded ribs and leads to a strong, level back. The tail is typically carried low when calm, but readily perks up when the dog is excited; however, it doesn't typically reach over the back.
The front legs have flexible pasterns and present as straight and muscular. The rear legs appear less muscular and feature well-bent hocks and stifles. The feet are overall small, oval and tough, presenting well-arched toes.
The head is never massive but is rather light. The ears are proportioned and shouldn't be either too large or too small. The nose is black. Collie eyes are dark, almond-shaped and bright, giving this breed an overall intelligent and inquisitive expression. Merle or china-colored eyes are not faulted in blue merles. The teeth must meet in a scissor bite.
The beautiful Collie coat is double, boasting a straight, harsh top coat and a soft, furry under coat. Four colors are acceptable in this breed - sable and white, tri-color, blue merle and white. The smooth Collie and rough Collie puppies are judged by the same standard. The only difference is that the smooth variety is expected to have a shorter and harder flat coat.
|24 to 26 inches
|60 to 80 pounds
|22 to 24 inches
|55 to 65 pounds
You may have seen dogs that resemble bred-down version of the Collie. Most likely, what you are seeing is simply a Shetland Sheepdog. Even though similar, Shetland Sheepdogs and Collies were bred independently. If you see an ad from somebody selling a Miniature Collie, chances are, the breeder has no clue on what a real Sheltie or Collie is, or he is purposely trying to deceive you.
Sweet, sensitive, loyal, good-natured and intelligent. These are just a few common adjectives used to depict this breed. But despite Collie's reputation for making good family dogs, it's important to remember that these dogs have a past heritage as working dogs and remain herding dogs at heart.
As herders, you may notice how Collie pups may have a natural predisposition to herd animals and humans, especially children. It's important to teach them at an early age that humans are not cattle or sheep!
While generally polite with strangers, Collie dogs require early socialization. This helps boost this breed's confidence and helps prevent excessive timidity. When it comes to watchdog qualities, Collie dogs fit the role very well, and without being aggressive.
Overall, this breed fares well with children. However, it's important to teach children how to treat this breed, and all dogs for that matter, with respect. No child and dog should ever be left alone unsupervised.
This breed is generally peaceful with other dogs but should be monitored around small pets as they may trigger its predatory drive.
When it comes to training, use gentle methods. This breed is sensitive and will not take well to harsh training methods and intimidating tones of voice. Loads of praise, gentle guidance and rewards will help keep this breed motivated and eager to work. Because it's a very clean breed, Collie puppies are easy to housebreak.
Best Owner and Living Conditions
As mentioned earlier, this is a sensitive and peaceful breed. A loud and boisterous household filled with tension may be too much for it to handle. Stress, anxiety and neurotic behaviors may be the outcome.
Despite being all-around farm dogs, Collie dogs can thrive in a variety of environments. An apartment, a farm and a single-home dwelling with or without a yard are all places these dogs can live in as long as they aren't left alone for too long and are provided outlets for pent-up energy.
Activity and Exercise
Despite their past as herders, Collie dogs do not require excessive amounts of vigorous exercise to be happy. More than exercise, this breed craves attention. If you spend a lot of time outside the home, this breed may suffer from separation anxiety and may engage in destructive chewing and howling sessions.
While you won't need to jog with this breed for miles, Collie dogs are still working dogs that require regular opportunities to vent their energy and keep their minds stimulated. Daily walks, fun games and romps in the park will work wonders. However, if you really want to see a Collie in action, you should try to enrolling him in herding trials or the new sport of Treibball.
Collie Grooming
That beautiful Collie coat comes at a price. Both rough and smooth Collie varieties are heavy shedders so be prepared for loads of dead hairs covering every inch of your home. Brush several times per week, more often during the heavy shedding that occurs in the spring and fall. Bathe only when necessary.
Health Concerns
When it comes to health, the Collie breed may be predisposed to several health conditions. Hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy, Collie nose, Collie eye anomaly, dermatomyositis and Collie granuloma are a few disorders known to affect this breed.
Purchasing Collie puppies from reputable Collie breeders is a good step in reducing the chances for these disorders.
Even healthy dogs get sick. While many health problems will require an immediate attention from your Vet, there are many others that you may handle on your own. Learn how to save time and money (and how to prevent small problems from becoming big problems) by diagnosing and treating dog health problems that don't require your Vet's attention.
Life Expectancy
The average life expectancy for Collie dogs is between 12 and 16 years.
Final Thoughts...
Collie dogs make treasured and devoted friends and, just like Lassie, are blessed with that uncanny ability to know when something is not right. Countless stories of Collies coming to the rescue abound among owners of this breed, which is another good reason to cherish Collie dogs.
Did you ever consider adopting your next pet?
If this is the breed you are interested in, and adoption appeals to you, consider contacting your local Collie rescue and adoption center. There are thousands of pets waiting for a loving home and, yes, it's possible to adopt a purebred dog.

IRS screeners continue to flag certain applications for exempt status for secondary scrutiny on the basis of name alone regardless of whether there is any evidence of political activity, an IRS employee has told a House Ways and Means Committee investigation.
A transcript of the interview with a Cincinnati-based IRS employee was released today by Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) and Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Charles Boustany Jr., M.D. (R-LA) in a letter calling on IRS Acting Commissioner Daniel Werfel to immediately cease the IRS's apparent continued practice of targeting Tea Party applications based on name alone:
Q: "If you saw - I am asking this currently, if today a Tea Party case, a group - a case from a Tea Party group came in to your desk, you received the file and there was no evidence of political activity, would you potentially approve that case? Is that something you would do?"
A:" At this point I would sent it to secondary screening, political advocacy."
Q: "So, you would treat a Tea Party group as a political advocacy case even if there was no evidence of political activity on the application. Is that right?"
A: "Based on my current manager's direction, uh-huh."
The lawmakers' letter calls on the IRS to provide notice to its employees that any such targeting will be subject to discipline and referral to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration for investigation:
"We write to you to demand that you immediately issue instructions to all IRS employees that applications for exempt status shall not be subjected to higher scrutiny based on organization name or substantive beliefs and provide notice that any such targeting will be subject to discipline and referral to TIGTA for investigation."
The news of continued targeting comes after President Obama installed new IRS leadership and pledged that the IRS would "put in place new safeguards to make sure this kind of behavior cannot happen again."

After quitting Apple, the tech guru behind the iPod wanted to revolutionise our homes – starting with the humble thermostat
After you left Apple, you developed a "smart" thermostat. Was that always your plan?
Not at all! The plan was to retire with my wife, who also worked for Steve [Jobs], and spend time with our children. We didn't see them because we were working so madly at Apple. We wanted to build a house in Lake Tahoe. I wanted to design the greenest, most connected house that I could. That's when I found out about the thermostat problem. These devices had not seen innovation in 30 years. They were the same as the ones our parents had. I wanted something that was very different.
Your solution was the NEST. Tell me about it
It uses algorithms and sensors to remember the temperatures you like, create a custom schedule for your home and turn itself down when you are away. And you can use your smartphone, tablet or computer to control it remotely. We call it the thermostat for the iPhone generation. It has a big dial, not fiddly buttons.
Did Steve Jobs have any input?
I was going to talk to Steve about it. He knew we were working on something, but he didn't know what. When it was time to show him, he said he couldn't do it. Unfortunately, he died just a few weeks later, before he could see it.
Is the NEST just the start of a range of smart-home devices?
Absolutely. But if you look at what we did at Apple after the iPod came out, it took us five years to start thinking about the iPhone and two more years to finally ship it. I would love to make more devices, but our goal is to make the NEST successful first.
Who would have believed the iPod could turn into the iPhone, then the iPad?
Even I wondered how many people would buy an iPad. But you have to be at the right place in the cultural time. We plan a similar trajectory with the NEST, with the ways that emerging behaviours can happen in the home through interconnected devices. You can't start with all of these things at once because people's minds get blown. You start with very simple things, simple concepts, and then you can build on them.
Will people have to continually upgrade their thermostats, as they do with cellphones?
Unlike a cellphone, you're not going to change the NEST every 18 months! They are supposed to hang on your wall for 10 to 15 years. Our goal is to continue to improve it via software, and we have built tonnes of extra capability into this device to allow that to happen. For example, we have a new update that gives an energy report - it shows how you're doing compared with last month, and even compares you to your neighbours.
Was it your aim to raise awareness of the energy we waste heating our homes?
The NEST starts people thinking about how they're using energy in the home. But it's also a great party trick. You get people whipping out their phones and saying "Check out my NEST at home! Watch, I'm going to freeze my wife!"

Most laptops also run at a higher voltage and clock speed when plugged in, and at lower settings when using the battery. Although this can improve performance, these laptops typically run much hotter and have a significantly reduced battery life. You searched for information on battery and laptop computer.

Plug battery pack into DC input of your laptop computer which is located in backside of laptop usually. Toshiba laptop battery laptop batteries, laptop battery, toshiba laptop battery, batteries for laptop computer. It is normal for a laptop battery to become warm during charging and discharging.
A charged battery will eventually lose its charge if unused. This laptop had a dead battery on arrival and it would not charge. To do this, simply insert the battery into your laptop and allow it to charge fully. Charge your laptop's battery the night before you leave on a trip. Since typical li-ion laptop batteries have 375 charge cycles, having a fully charged battery inserted will put unnecessary charge cycles. Charge your laptop battery or get a spare one. If you're buying the laptops on a one-time grant, imho you absolutely, positively should buy (at least) a second battery on that grant. When those laptops are new, it's a simple matter to buy a spare battery. If you want to save a few dollars then please buy a better MPG car, not a refurbished laptop battery.

My recent trip to India was amazing. As you've seen in the images that I posted last week, they help take the blog in a new direction.
That being said, I think some of the images have confused a portion of the audience as to why I feel they fit into the context of this blog.
If there was any confusion before, let me make it clear now that I don't categorize The Sartorialist as just a fashion or street style blog. For me, it's always been a personal, visual diary of my life and — as I've always stated — I feel that these images are portraits of people whose clothing can help create a story about who they might be (for most of these people I'll never know the truth). Like the variety of real life, some of these images will be happy or sad, confusing or enlightening, compelling or repelling. Just like in music, no musical artist would sing all happy love songs, so why would I shoot only happy street style images? We're all adults here and I don't think I have to hold you by the hand and explain how each shot should make you feel. Yes, this is quite a bit different from the other street style blogs I'm often grouped with, but that's what very happily sets me apart from the crowd. These types of images are also no longer new to the blog; I've already shot in countries like South Africa, Morocco, Bali, Peru, China, the UAE, now India, and will be shooting early next year Nepal and Bhutan. As I prepare my third book I hope to achieve a combination of 50% to 60% fashion images and 50% to 40% cultural images. It might be hard to see the forest through the trees, but after a few more years of expanding my travels, I will have a catalog of images that will truly capture a view of the world and its people during this period in time
The image of this young girl in the flower market is not a fashion photograph.
It's not about how cute her dress is or is not. And, unfortunately, this is not your typical happy image of a carefree child. None of us know the exact truth of this young girl's situation, but, what I see in an image like this, is the spirit of a young girl with dreams like any young girl would posses, anywhere around the world. I see her youthful spirit expressed in the joyful colors of her dress and bracelets, but I also see the contrast of having to balance the reality of her daily life. The burden is represented by the bundle of flowers she carries. The way her face is cast down, you literally feel the weight of that burden on her back. I think it's a beautifully heartbreaking photograph for anyone, like me, who is a parent. At the same time, however, we absolutely don't know the truth of the image. For all we know she could be helping her family maintain a prosperous flower stall, much like how my father helped on the farm in North Dakota while he was growing up in the 1930′s. If this image outrages you and makes you want to do something about abolishing child labor, great! Let's not forget Steve McCurry's Afghan Girl photograph is also beautifully heartbreaking, and made a huge difference in the plight of Afghan refugees during the Afghan/Soviet conflict of 1984.

How Excel can make book publicity easier
In the field of book promotion, we don't often use Excel, and the truth is that you only need mention "pivot table" or "concatenate" to make my head swim. But even though we don't need to make use of Excel's advanced functions, book publicists and authors can use it for one basic purpose: to efficiently maintain lists of names. In fact, storing data in Word is akin to, say, writing a book in Excel.
As handy as Excel can be for our lists of names, it needs to be used correctly so that the information can be easily mail merged and / or imported into various publicity databases and mailing systems. Here are a few Excel issues / questions that I've seen arise:
Leading zeros: Excel's default format causes "leading" zeros to be dropped. For example, if you were to enter "06520" into a cell, it would appear as "6520." Some users attempt to rectify the situation by replacing the number "0" with the capital letter "O." This looks correct, but it means the information can't be imported into a mailing system (or a database connected to a mailing system), because the system does not recognize letters in the zip code field (at least not if you're in the US).
–> Instead, highlight your column, then click "Format" from the top menu bar, then "Cell," then select "Text" in the box on the left on the "Number" tab. This will allow you to "keep" all leading zeros.
Address fields: All databases use separate fields for each element of an address, so in order to be able to import the address into any publicity database (to generate address labels) or even to mail merge address labels, you need to separate out the address into its components.
–> All databases are slightly different, but it usually works to create separate fields called Address1 (street number and name), Address2 (Floor / Suite / Apartment number), City, State and Zip. Click here for a template. (One caveat: if you are an author or literary agent working with a publicist who has asked you to submit names, show them the template before you use it; they may ask you to make some small changes to the fields.)
Sorting: If you need to sort your contacts, i.e., some contacts should receive galleys while others should receive books, or some contacts receive personal notes while others do not, do not highlight or use a different color text for those records.
–> It may seem to make sense to highlight certain names — the way one would in a book or on a piece of paper — but in Excel, there's no function that allows you to sort by color. (Excel alphabetizes, i.e., sorts, by column.) So instead, create a new column, called, say "Personal Notes" and mark off a "P" (or an "X") next to those contacts who should receive personal notes. Then, when you highlight that column and hit the "ABC" button on the shortcuts menu bar, all your contacts who should receive notes will be in one place.
What are some of your Excel bugaboos / quick fixes?
How I cheat
A number of readers have expressed surprise about how I manage to blog in addition to holding down a full-time book publicity job. So I thought it might be interesting to post about how I "cheat." And now you can too!
— Set up an RSS reader: anyone in public relations / publicity needs to know what's going on not just in the industry, but in the world. While it's useful reading one's daily hometown paper, there's so much else out there, that you really miss a lot simply by reading just The New York Timesor just CNN.com (or just Gawker). So I use Bloglines to keep track of headlines from numerous newspapers, websites, radio stations and blogs — others use readers like Google Reader or NewsGator or the RSS button on their browser — and that allows me to skim thousands of headlines daily fairly quickly. Plus, I hate getting newsprint on my hands.
Check here for instructions about how to set up an RSS reader.
— Send email blasts: Not the best option all the time, but, let's face it, inescapable, not to mention useful, every now and then.
— Learn your publicity database: Backwards and forwards. When you've quit complaining about it (I know, I do it too) take some time to really figure it out. Ask people for their tips and shortcuts. I've used several programs in my time — Media Map, Publicity Assistant, Bacon's Online — and none were easy to pick up immediately, although, ultimately, they all proved immensely helpful. I've seen people spend hours using Bacon's Online, for example, which is unfortunate, because the majority of searches take about a minute to execute (particularly when you've saved your search parameters). And I've seen publicists create media lists that already exist. Or painstakingly update records individually because they didn't know about the "Update" function. Or use a program solely to look up names because they didn't realize they could also be using it to pull media lists. It's impossible to list every shortcut for every program, but use this rule of thumb: if you ever feel like something is taking a long time, like you're really slogging through something, ask someone who's been around for a while if there is a shortcut — sometimes there is an "easy button."
— Use Microsoft Excel: Just because we work in creative industry and have a way with words doesn't mean we don't need to know our way around a database. In publicity, we often send out copies of books to reviewers. Often, we send out many books at a time. Some of these contacts come from our publicity databases; sometimes the names may come from an editor or author or agent. I always ask for names in Excel so that the information can quickly be imported into our publicity database and turned into labels; otherwise, I'm stuck retyping or copying and pasting all the information. FYI, contacts stored in Outlook can easily be exported to Excel. (Check the Help function if you don't know how this works.) And fon't forget that contact information stored in Excel can also be used to personalize letters using that handy dandy Mail Merge function.
— Lose the paper: Whenever possible, I work on the computer, not on a printout. Rather than printing out a schedule, writing notes on it, and then typing those notes into the schedule, I type them into the schedule from the get go. If I'm looking over someone's media list, again, rather than scribbling notes on the list, I make the changes to the list in the database (and then I verbally walk through the changes with the person so they know what's going on). And if I'm looking over press material and need to make edits, you know where this is going — yes, say, it with me, track changes. My goal is always to have the fewest number of people spending the least amount of time doing (redoing) the same work.
— Guess: I check the general publicity email addresses for my department and somehow, reviewers manage to find their way to our media page, ignore all the instructions / suggestions posted there, and email the wrong department (although, in their defense, a lot of publishing house websites are pretty hard to navigate). So I field a couple dozen requests daily meant for other departments. Since I don't always have time / get really tired of looking up the book or author, and since I know the imprints at my publishing house very well and know what each is likely to publish, I often play guess the imprint. Usually I'm right. Sometimes, not. Oh well.

Activities with the Kids
While South Africa offers numerous theme parks and other manmade attractions such as swimming pools and skating parks, it offers an abundance of opportunities to discover nature and follow animal trails. You will find wildlife parks and safaris that welcome children, allowing them the chance to see wild animals in their natural surroundings.
Monkey Town is a primate centre which can be found just outside Somerset West. The aim of the sanctuary is to provide shelter for displaced primates and rehabilitate them. This centre offers much needed help for many monkeys and chimpanzees. You will find over 25 exotic species roaming freely over and around the covered walkways. Many of the monkeys are endangered and are fascinating and fun to watch. Guided tours are offered, as are talks at feeding time and interaction with tame monkeys. For the children, there is a touching farmyard, jungle gym and birthday party facilities.
With such a long and stunning coastline, South Africa offers some of the best beaches in the world, many of which are full of attractions guaranteed to keep the children busy for hours at a time. The Wild Coast in the Eastern Cape is especially popular with both national and international holidaymakers, with a number of the hotels offering children's playgrounds and dining areas and babysitting services.
There are many theme parks located across the country, but two of the best and most popular include Ratanga Junction and Gold Reef City. Ratanga Junction is located just outside Cape Town and is home to over 30 attractions including children's, family and white knuckle rides as well as train and boat rides and snake and bird shows.
Gold Reef City can be found in Johannesburg and is an extremely popular complex, as it is home to a giant casino, theme park and a fascinating apartheid museum. The complex is open 24 hours and while the casino might be out of bounds for the little ones, the theme park certainly isn't and they are guaranteed to have hours of fun here.

Stephanie and David's Wedding at the Hotel DuPont
Stephanie and David's wedding was held at the elegant and sophisticated Hotel du Pont in Wilmington, DE. From start to finish and from the classic du Barry Room to the opulent Gold Ballroom, their wedding unfolded flawlessly.
Guests came from all over the country to share Stephanie and David's big day and the beginning of their journey as husband and wife. One of the most touching details from the reception was a slideshow that depicted their love story. Their love for one another shines through in every image we captured; as they were exchanging their marriage vows, going into the ballroom, listening to the toasts, making their first dance unforgettable, cutting the cake, dancing and having fun with family and friends.
To sum it up, this wedding was a regally gorgeous celebration of love and family. Through the moments and emotions captured, the memories of such an extraordinary day for Stephanie and David will last a lifetime.

Bloom Day: Rained Out
(Phlox drummondi)
But now I'm glad I lived in the garden's moment, because near constant rain over the last few days has stripped away most flowers.
Here's a look at what the salvia and sand coreopsis (C. lanceolata) looked like pre-rain:
The dianthus is going strong, thanks to it being protected by the yews.
Even some columbine blooms are still hanging on, although most are on their way to becoming seed pods.
The 'Plumosa' salvia is in full bloom, but it's splaying all over the place (to again borrow a phrase from Carol). You wouldn't know that these are actually being held up by stakes right now!
In one of the back borders near the rain garden my most horrid color clash is underway: pink spireas and bright red daylilies.
I was a little short-sighted about planting those spireas, and I do plan to get around to moving them. Individually the blooms are pretty...
...icy pink...
...and deep red...
...just not right next to each other.
Despite the rain damage there should be much more in store. Currently things in bud include big-leaved aster (Eurybia macrophylla), sweet joe-pye weed (Eupatorium maculatum), swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata), rattlesnake master (Eryngium yuccifolium), and the new roses. One started to bloom the tiniest, hesitant flower, a bit of a preview.

Awww, that's too bad about the rain. That's the thing about gardening, right? You really can't plan everything.
But gosh darn, how annoying is it when the weather wrecks things!
I was terrified that my giant rudbeckias would get knocked down in a storm before I got their pictures!
Happy Bloom Day! Glad you participated, even with the rain.

It's sad when staked plants still flop. What is with this weather? I like pink & red together, just not that pink with that red. The pink & red of the Dianthus is what I'm talking about. It's so pretty. Good thing it is protected. My Dianthus blooms all turned to mush.

Lol, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with clashing colors in the garden:) Do you know what daylily yours is? I have the very same one!
I'm tired of rain-outs, too. Unlike the ballgames where they show old documentaries during rain delays, the action keeps on going in my garden--that is, the weeds:) Glad the Cubs managed to squeak one win out of their series with the Sox:)

Rosey--Thanks! Those coreopsis are doing great this year!
Katie--I have the same fear about flowers getting knocked down by rain. I always worry about my joe-pye weed, but they usually hold up well in the end.
MMD--Good question! I'm glad I haven't had to water, but it's getting a little ridiculous. And you know we'll probably have a drought through July and August.
Rose--I don't know what the daylily is but I wish I did! It was here when we moved in (as were most of the daylilies).
I felt bad for Ted Lilly on Sunday. If we were going to lose, at least let the guy get a no-hitter!

Costume excludes: Wig & Shoes.
Sizes for this costume are:
happy with outfit thanx
Very good - but the velcro fastening for the shirt front and the jacket were falling off! This costume was not cheap, so I was expecting a better quality finish to the garments. We copied the makeup from the picture on the package and the overall look was great!!
Bought this for my sons party, no issues excellent communication and very fast x
Excellent fit, went down a storm at the festival.
A great suit, but use an old white shirt and tie for a better shirt than the one provided.
Great value money.
The shirt and tie were poor quality as far as the stitching is concerned, the tie had a large "nick" right at the top and the collar has been stitched so it it tucks under so it actually is not a collar. We won't be using this and a normal shirt will have a better effect. The wig comes with a flesh coloured forehead so you have to match this with the rest of the make up.
Have a question about this product? Why not get in touch by completing the boxes below.
The exact measurement is a 50", but this would be skin tight and the velcro fastening may not meet.

B. At Westfield
See those shadows in the Beautiful Moments picture above? One of those will be me on Saturday.. eek! As part of the B. Skin care and Make-up roll out, the stand has been dropping in at various centres around the country, and this Saturday it's at London's Westfield. I'm dropping by at 12 so if you want to come and say hello I'd be very happy to see you – you might have some questions about the range or even about blogging which I will do my best to help with – you'll also be able to play with the range and take away some samples. I think it will be a really fun event, so if you can, do pop in… the stand will be located on the 1st floor roughly outside Next.
*all products are sent to me as samples from brands and agencies unless otherwise stated. Affiliate links may be used. Posts are not affiliate driven.

As much as I love trying new products, especially from a new company, I find the B. range a bit uninspiring. The skincare is a bit better than the makeup range. The makeup range is just very dull looking and average quality. Having tried the sheer foundation, i found it not that good quality especially considering the price. On another note, I think it was a bad move to name a beauty company after a letter in the alphabet, it is just hard to find any reviews on the products. Hopefully, they will perk up their packaging and their stands.
Do you mean the one in West London or Stratford?

So happy to see this new brand starting up, we need more 'truly' cruelty-free brands on the market! x
